[00:05] Dodsda / jeffl : Thanks! am looking [00:05] ahave_AFK: there are a bunch of ways. if youve already created the partitions you can just format em by doing a mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda4 or whatever [00:05] np [00:06] ahave_AFK: basically you create partitions from the freespace then format those using mkfs.something to whavever format you want [00:06] ty pike, i will search for mkfs.ntfs then [00:06] hey all, I am trying to get network-manager-openvpn to work on my desktop, I have noticed that if I do not habve a wireless connection then non of the network-manager options show up in the menu...is this by design and is there any know workaround for using network-manager with wired only connections?

[00:12] ahave_AFK: well. if you just want to create a samba share you dont really need a seperate partition at all just a directory [00:13] ahave_AFK: it would be just as easy to use Gparted to delete the NTFS partition & just resize the other partition [00:13] ahave_AFK: maybe ive misunderstood what youre trying to do [00:13] sileni : sudo mysqldump --no-create-info --tab=/home/andrew/Desktop nyvoter cds mysqldump: Got error: 1: Can't create/write to file '/home/andrew/Desktop/cds.txt' (Errcode: 13) when executing 'SELECT INTO OUTFILE' [00:13] dude [00:13] pike_, razordead, right now it is just unformatted space [00:13] i was joking, im a begginer to linux [00:13] oh [00:13] sorry didnt mean to get your hopes up [00:13] =[ [00:14] ahave_AFK: then just resize the other partition to take up that space [00:14] razordead, what is a good utl to do that?

[00:23] I have tried the Binary How-tos for ATI but no success is there any other option to enable 3d for my ATI X1300? [00:23] thnaks [00:24] HangukMiguk, check rhythmbox -h for usage info, a lot of players have such things but rhythmbox being gnome and having the gnome philosophy of "don't add that feature, it will make people's head explode", it might not [00:24] greencookie, I recommend researching the problem in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [00:24] Ok Pelo will do. Thanks. [00:25] bruenig: i tried that, found nothing. i'm wanting to display my current track in conky without having to switch to audacious or xmms, anyone know of a script? [00:25] nope [00:25] HangukMiguk, you wouldn't want to do that in that manner [00:26] bruenig: how should i do it? [00:26] HangukMiguk, your cpu will thank you [00:26] whats up [00:26] well xmms works (I believe) by writing a text file everytime it changes a track which is what those monitors use [00:27] but running rhythmbox all of the time to get that info would make your computer cry [00:27] any one here from missouri?

[00:28] or is it in apt? [00:29] HangukMiguk, I don't know if ubuntu doesn't compile in aac support or something but there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to find a plethora of players which can use it seeing as most players just use one of the few codec backends which aac would be supported for [00:29] HangukMiguk, it might be in apt, I don't use ubuntu [00:29] It's in apt [00:29] All the music players I have tried skip when I play files, particularly when I am opening a new page in Firefox, is there a way to rectify that? [00:29] HangukMiguk: search for xmms plugin for aac [00:29] bruenig: hmmmm, well i know my gstreamer plugins make it work. if xmms has the plugins, i could use that [00:30] hi guys === ConstyXIV_ is now known as ConstyXIV [00:30] i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop [00:30] can anoyne tlel me hwoot chnage sensutvuty of touch pad..cause i feel i really have to hit it to click [00:30] shawn_selig29: welcome! me too! but on desktop:) [00:31] greencookie, ....thxs..u too....it fells good..to run somehting so fast..and viruses free [00:31] i dual boot vista and ubuntu [00:31] I am unable to connect to the internet.

(I'll go look for some solution) [01:04] dabbill, I just don'T know , maybe try asking in #winehq [01:04] Starnestommy, ok, thanks [01:04] KE7LNU, may want to check out conky, or gkrellm, theres proberly a dozen other network monitor tools out that are specifically for networks. Tje 2 i mentioned are general system moniotrs that can monitor some network things === Martinp24 is now known as Martinp23 [01:05] thanks for trying Pelo [01:05] gkrellm is available??

[01:06] thanks Gun_smoke im been doing it wrong for a long time now ;-) [01:06] Pelo: It worked! woot.

I have firestarter installed and my events tab is full of blocked connections to random ports and most of them go to somewhere called unknown.scnet.net. Im trying to setup samba over hamachi to share files and it wont work. ANY help would be apprectiated [01:06] THanks a ton for the support Pelo [01:06] chaosrl: Did you if you used aptitude to install it's as easy as aptitude remove kde [01:07] * Pelo is tired of gratitude , he wants cash [01:07] mike: To simple restart X Ctrl alt backspace is just fine.. [01:07] Gun_Smoke: i tried removing kde4-core; it only removed that package, and not the actually apps, etc. i'm not sure which apps kde4-core installed :( [01:07] run aptitude as root and look [01:08] chaosrl: ^^ [01:08] sudo apt-get remove kde4-core [01:08] try that [01:08] I just installed the video driver that was listed under the Restricted Driver and after reboot, my moniter keeps saying that the signal is out of range(i'm assuming the resolution is out of wack). Can you tell me the steps/commands to type in safe mode terminal to fix it? Possibly change the resolution? [01:09] Gun_Smoke: a search in terminal for kde with aptitude yields a really long list; should i just go trhough and uninstall each thing i have installed? [01:09] Why wont Rhythmbox play my lastfm streams? I Just installed Ubuntu Gutsy fresh! do I have to configure codecs? [01:09] chaosrl: Well there is a chance that would work.. But you will dump a lot of stuff you might want.. Amarok for example depends on some kde lib's.

I just installed the video driver that was listed under the Restricted Driver and after reboot, my moniter keeps saying that the signal is out of range(i'm assuming the resolution is out of wack).

[01:13] <_Lucretia_> kyle__: no, that didn't work either [01:13] frojnd: try using this article [01:13] http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/nethub/article.php/3467111 [01:14] !pastebin [01:14] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[01:15] mike, and then , reisntall those packages [01:15] thanks pelo i will give that rry [01:15] mike: did u try "sudo apt-get remove samba*" then "sudo apt-get install samba*" [01:15] mike, to what goal? you can use the purge option, and reinstall whatever samba related packages you want [01:16] lots and lots and lots of people [01:16] Pelo, I'm not sure what xorg is. xorg.config i think? i heard I could change the resolution there, but your sayuing thats not the problem. [01:16] removing/reinstalling proberly wont fix much of anything. [01:16] I want to completely hide a folder's existance from other users who are not root. Any suggestions besides a . in front of the name? [01:16] Unless You accidently deleted stuff you shouldent of. [01:16] how do i open a file with the extension .r00, .r01....

[01:17] mike, there is the 'using samba' book in html format in the repos. and online. It all depends on what you screwed up i guess. :) that book is a must read for power-samba users. :) [01:17] squee, ask in #firefox [01:17] alright [01:17] moparfan90, isn't that .rar files split into many files?

Im trying to setup samba over hamachi to share files and it wont work. ANY help would be apprectiated [01:19] Pelo, ok let me go try hat brb [01:19] Now if ONLY i could figure out why my samba server shows "Publicfiles.exe' and 'PublicFiles.com' and 'PublicFiles.pif' in addation to my 'publicfiles' share...... [01:20] * Dr_willis wonders what hamachi is. [01:20] drew17112, firestarter is just a front end for iptables it's not the actual firewall , there is nothing enabled by default [01:20] Dr_willis, hamachi is a program that essentially creates a vlan between you and whoever you set it up with [01:22] I just tried to reinstall wine and getting dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ia32-libs_2.1ubuntu3_amd64.deb (--unpack): [01:22] unable to create `./lib32/libacl.so.1.1.0': No such file or directory [01:22] dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) [01:23] dabbill, this is for amd64 ?

[01:26] two_bits, you mean who owns it? [01:26] for example, make a torrent file open with azurus instead of the default torrent program [01:26] dabbill, read tej second command on that page, you don'T insetall using aptituide, you must use dpkg with a special option [01:26] hi [01:27] two_bits, that is generally configured within the file manager, and most file managers would have you right click on the file, and edit "properties" [01:27] anka-ar, hi [01:27] #wine [01:27] ahh [01:27] wil_, #winehq [01:27] in gnome, there is a way to arrange the windows like tiles or cascade?

I'm getting video lagg, this happend last time i used Ubuntu(6.10). [01:38] Hey guys how can I set up a folder on a hard drive that will give all user on the box read write permission but the owner will be the user who crated the file? [01:38] Pelo, in the xorg, the Horizsyn= 30-70. Vertrfresh=50-160. I looked at the back of the screen and the only thing I saw really was 100-240V and 60.50Hz 1.5A. I do have the website for the monitor though: http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/optiquest/q7b/#specs [01:38] aO|DB, I recommend 5-10 gig for the root partiton in ext3, 2xram for swap and the rest for /home in ext3 [01:38] Why is a program like lobster still in the repos? [01:38] !wifi | jescis [01:38] jescis: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:39] I have to keep typing in the wep key [01:39] !info lobster [01:39] Package lobster does not exist in gutsy [01:39] and it satill wont connect [01:39] patogen, because linux ppl never throw anyting away [01:39] could it be something wtih my d3d? [01:39] 2xram for swap is a waste of time [01:39] _Lucretia_, actually, is it supposed to be supported by mtp? did you check that libmtp can recognise your device?

[01:39] Pelo: Yeah, but I don't even think that one works longer ... [01:39] i have not done the manual yet [01:40] bastid_raZor sure [01:40] I have DSL through AT&T 2wire [01:40] i dont like how the guided works [01:40] i run 128 bit wep connections i thought it was fine [01:40] bastid_raZor are you using 8.04?

[01:40] eck090: wpa2 [01:40] Eck, I HIGHLY suggest wpa2 [01:41] what type of router do you think is best [01:41] aO|DB, make a first partiton in ext3 5 to 10 gig , you will use it for your root filesystem , where the OS will be iinstalled, after that make one that is twice the size of your RAM for your swap , the rest you use for /home in ext3 [01:41] _Lucretia_, oh, ok. What application did you try it with? [01:41] eck090: Linksys WRT54G [01:41] im just confused as to the mount point... etc [01:41] hello tehre [01:41] there* [01:41] Pelo, did ya get that?

[01:41] tantric132, no I didn't [01:41] ok let me make those real fast [01:41] i have 3 gb of ram, so i dont really need swap [01:41] Is there N support for linux?

[01:42] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: like i said [01:42] adorablepupp2 there should be N support for any network cards that are supported [01:42] Where is my network eth* ? http://pastebin.ca/901956 [01:42] tantric132, still around ? [01:42] * speeddemon8803 ALSO suggests checking for yourself first :) [01:42] Pelo, ok here it goes. I checked in the xorg. Horizsync 30-70. Vertrefresh 50-160. Looked on the back and didn't find anything except this and i don't even know if it's regarding Horizsync or Vert. The number was 100-250V - 60/50Hz 1.5A. I did look up the monitor though so here are the specs. http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/optiquest/q7b/#specs [01:42] * adorablepupp2 is making useful apps for the PSP [01:43] Pelo, what does it mean Primary or Logical, and Beginning or End [01:43] do they matter? [01:43] or leave it alone [01:43] Primary [01:43] tantric132, hold on [01:43] adorablepupp2; like what? i have a psp i play fairly often [01:43] i think my d3d is turned off [01:43] how do i check this? [01:43] Alrihty bud [01:43] i love my psp [01:43] frojnd: eth*? [01:43] Primary is your main hard drive, where your operating system boots... [01:43] ok so make that the 5 GB part [01:43] compwiz18, yes, what is my wireless eth1 eth2 or what ? [01:43] then the logical the 15 GB [01:44] Yeah. [01:44] ok [01:44] frojnd: ra0, I think [01:44] aO|DB, if you only have ubuntu on that hdd use primary , don't worry about beginning and end, just use the size bits [01:44] * speeddemon8803 grabs pelo and teams up on this one :) [01:44] I have Win XP dual booted [01:44] Where does Ubuntu put it's install.log? [01:44] im gettin rid of Kubuntu [01:44] and just goin ubuntu [01:44] and xp [01:45] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: do you have an mtp based player? [01:45] tantric132, change horiz sync to 30 - 82 and vert to 50 -75 [01:45] _Lucretia_, hmmmm. I don't know what else you can do. Although it is not recognized by mtp-detect, did you try it with Rhythmbox and what happens? [01:45] speeddemon8803, team up on what ? [01:45] _Lucretia_, eh, no, I have an iPod. [01:45] ugh, as much as it is a pain to do stuff through command line..... its better than windows [01:45] helping that guy out with his partitioning issues. [01:45] * Pelo is confused now [01:45] Pelo, I'm sure this is an obvious answer but how do I change values and then save the file in xorg? [01:45] Weirdbeard: /var/log/installer/ for the initial install [01:45] Erm... i just got a weird problem i guess [01:45] hi [01:45] now the "free space" says Unusuable [01:45] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: I have enabled the mtp plugin in rhythmbox, but I can't see anything that relates to mtp, confused [01:45] !hi | akin [01:45] hay how can i safely get rid of the windows partition on my ubuntu pc can i just deleat the partition [01:45] akin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:45] Thanks nickrud! [01:46] http://pastebin.org/19339 Could some one take a look at this and see if they have any ideas on how to fix it? [01:46] i also have a old ubuntu install i want to get rid of as well as the windows partition [01:46] my ubuntu cd only loads cli. how do i make it load gui and install? [01:46] hey [01:46] _Lucretia_, yes, so neither Rhythmbox can see it. [01:46] how do i install a.run file? [01:46] tantric132, you are in nano right now ? just use the keys to bring the cursor to the right place and type over I think you use ctrl x to exit and save [01:46] best part scheme normal user laptop????? [01:46] jordan, did you accidentally install the alternative image to a cd? [01:46] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: doesn't look like it [01:47] Pelo, do i make the Home first, then make the Root??? because it is not letting me create anything else after making the primary [01:47] Pelo, thanks. going to try it [01:47] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: should it give some extra menus or something? [01:47] The alternative install does not include a GUI, Jordan, if that was what you did. [01:47] My desktop has gone black and the shutdown button in the top-right hand corner of my screen doesn't work ;( [01:47] eck090: ideally, you wouldn't, but you can open up a terminal and run chmod +x file.run; ./file.run [01:47] Jordan, sound like you have the alternate install cd , there is no gui on it , you have to install , from the menu at the beginning [01:47] eck090: first you figure out if there's any other way to get that program. [01:47] well its my video driver [01:47] _Lucretia_, it is supposed that if you enable the mtp plugin, your device should appear in Rhythmbox when you connect it [01:47] eck090: which one? [01:48] Nvidia [01:48] This was all after I started playing around with my fstab file... [01:48] eck090: you should be able to get that in the restricted manager [01:48] shit this is kinda confusing [01:48] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: could it be a charging thing? I'm charging now [01:48] I added two lines and then deleted htem. [01:48] lol [01:48] eck090: ok, I have ref for the new atis [01:48] ok. i might have hit the check box by accident. thanks! [01:48] hi i recently uninstalled xserver-xgl , installed a new ATI graphics driver,, newest from ATI site, and now when i try ctrl alt backspace, my system doesnt hang, it just blanks the screen and stops there. ctrl alt del restarts the machine. I also run compiz effects [01:48] restricted manager? [01:48] noobie// best partition scheme for ubuntu home var usr etc [01:48] hey does anyone here know what a dflt value is? [01:49] default [01:49] dflt - default maybe [01:49] _Lucretia_, I think since your device is recognized as a usb device by ubuntu it can be charged. i think that it's independent of the mtp problem [01:49] aO|DB, you'll get the hang of it eventualy, you only do one thing at once, if it helps you can exit the installer and go back to the deskop , you can partition your hdd from gparted in there and do the insetall after, you can then skip the bit where you partiton and go straight to the part where you pick the partitons to instal on [01:50] says installer must be run as root [01:50] well, it dosnt let me install on partitions [01:50] do i just put the "sudo" command? [01:50] it just picks this one hard drive i have [01:50] Rukus: you could try running the install on http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide , see if that will fix it. But simply running the ati driver install can often screw things up [01:50] anyone here ever use MPX? I am trying to get the xinput program to work [01:50] ack [01:50] thats the guide i followd [01:50] nickrud: thats the guide i followd [01:50] Jack_Sparrow: so, would nothing, no wep or anything be better to use using a 2wire modem/router? [01:50] eck090, if it a graphical install program: gksudo appname, if console: sudo appname. [01:50] !info automount [01:50] Package automount does not exist in gutsy [01:51] Rukus: hm. Working here just fine. [01:51] ok hi all i have samba reinstalled, i go to my windows box and type //server and the password box comes up so i type in my credentials, but with no luck [01:51] aO|DB, you do the manual partitionning bit but then you donT' have to do the partitons in the step you are now , they are already there, you can skip to the next bit I mean [01:51] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: it seems that udev has worked and mounted it tho, I do have /dev/libmtp-6-1 & /dev/libmtp-usbdev6.2 [01:51] i did the sudo smbpasswd -a mike [01:51] Hello everyone. I had a fully functional gutsy installation on my PC, but since them I have upgraded some of its hardware and I'm not sure how will gutsy handle that hardware change. The most "critical" hardware (graphics card and wireless card) are the same, so I expect no problems there. However, the HD's have completely changed their order. Will gutsy's fstab go nuts when I boot into it? [01:51] ?? [01:51] howdy [01:51] Is anyone here familiar with automounting NTFS partitions? [01:51] right now i have 24 gigs of free space [01:51] howdy [01:51] says im running an x server? [01:51] and i need to make a ubuntu partition [01:51] Pelo, I'm now on my Ubuntu system. You're the man! Thank you so much [01:51] aO|DB, anyting esle on this hdd ? [01:51] !automount [01:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:52] smithw: sounds about right [01:52] tantric132_, my pleasure [01:52] eck090, what are you installing? [01:52] Yep, theres Windows partition, 7GB, Storage, 130GB [01:52] you can also edit /etc/fstab and set the ntfs to mount on startup [01:52] NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run [01:52] Yeah, searching for it comes up with good results you need [01:52] I've worked similar issues. [01:52] aO|DB, ok fist please use my nick in each line, it makes it easier to follow if I know you are talking to me [01:52] ok [01:53] Hm, strange, gksudo should work [01:53] Pelo: hi, are you plotting yet? [01:53] what is gksudo? [01:53] What filesystem option should I choose when adding an NTFS drive to my fstab file? [01:53] aO|DB, you will need to make logical partitons , not primaries, you can only have 4 primaries per hdd [01:53] Mathman: thanks... I guess I will resort to an old live cd to edit the fstab before I boot into the actual system [01:53] i have installed kiba-dock, but when i type the command to open it, i get a segmentation fault error. how can i fix this? i'm on a 64bit system [01:53] More precisely, what is the proper filesystem to use? fuseblk or ntfs-3g? [01:53] eck090: clt-alt-backspace, ctl-alt-f2 , login. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop (this stops your X server. Do the install, then sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X server [01:53] smithw: that and you'll perhaps need to edit grub.conf and reinstall grub [01:53] eck090, press Alt+F2, type gksudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run [01:54] robdig, not yes, I am investigating other avenues, like generic printers with cpl drivers, cause I can't get a hpgl.plt flle out of progecad [01:54] how can I check if my wifi card works, what's the command for searching for devices something with scanning ? [01:54] eck090: you can use clt-alt-f2 and clt-alt-f7 to switch back and forth while the X server is running [01:54] _Lucretia_, ok. do you think a mtp specific app that gnomad2 will help? I don't know what else you can do with mtp [01:54] gksudo allow running apps with a temporary root access [01:54] who is in charge of the support groups for ubuntu? the local ones i mean [01:54] Mathman: most definitely [01:54] Help. I rm'd a file instead of mv! Is there anyway to recover it? Anyway at all? [01:54] maximilion__: the nvidia install requires X to be off [01:54] Which file, EADG? [01:54] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: i think i'll wait till it's charged and see what to do next [01:54] EADG: nothing I know of that doesn't cost loads of money [01:55] aO|DB, right click in the free space showed in the graphical repersentation of the hdd, select new partiton or whatever it is , make a new one 5 gig , ext3 , logical [01:55] nickrud, I see. I'm not as experienced as you, so I'd probably boot into recovery mode and do a su - username in that case :) [01:55] ok repeat that [01:55] nomopofomo: a text file, no extension. [01:55] i forgot that shuts off my GUI === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [01:55] putnum: you mean the locos? #ubuntu-loco for help [01:55] hi all. is possible to auto-run a command after a custom command? for example i want to run 'ls' after all 'cd' command that i type (for example 'cd /path/dynamic') [01:55] thx nick [01:55] EADG, a configuration file of some sort? What was it's name? [01:55] _Lucretia_, ok. sorry I couldn't really help you! [01:55] robdig, but the stuff you emailed me works perfectly , for what little I can do with it [01:55] maximilion__: that'd work too, but I hate rebooting when there's another way :) [01:56] nomopofomo: I fail to see how that would be relevant... [01:56] <_Lucretia_> kostkon: thanks anyway, i'll prolly see how it goes tomorrow [01:56] mm but it's easier to remember :) [01:56] nick: nobody is in there [01:56] What filesystem should I use for automounting an NTFS partition? fuseblk or ntfs-3g? [01:56] nickrud can you rpost those directions [01:56] Pelo: well, we both learned something...good luck getting your cad going [01:56] night guys [01:56] please and thanks [01:56] How can I download decoder for playing last fm streams? I just installed ubuntu an hour ago. [01:56] eck090: clt-alt-backspace, ctl-alt-f2 , login. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop (this stops your X server. Do the install, then sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X server [01:56] My Ubuntu is now fully setup and tested for webdesign <3 [01:56] robdig, when i do get it working I will email you about it , you were a great help [01:56] Mathman, I probably misinterpreted what he asked. [01:56] ok writing them down [01:56] and ill brb [01:56] ugh [01:56] Pelo: no prob [01:57] aO|DB, still around ? [01:57] and is there a team that is in charge of promoting ubuntu? As in maybe a roadhow type thing? [01:57] eck090: in the rare case where you don't automatically get returned to the gui when you run the start, hit ctl-alt-f7 [01:57] nomopofomo: an report typed out in nano. Not a config file. File name was 'porocity jan 12' [01:57] putnum: #ubuntu-marketing I think [01:57] EADG: probably a good time to mention rcs or cvs or whatever. [01:57] putnum, check in the ubuntu website in the get involved section , look for locos [01:58] ok thx guys [01:58] Hi! I'm using gutsy (i386). When I start or shut down my pc I get a message "input not support" on a black screen. Where can I change the screen !resolution for start up? Help please! [01:58] !loco > putnum (see pm) [01:58] EADG: you should look into something like that perhaps [01:58] ok got it [01:58] thx [01:58] i have installed kiba-dock, but when i type the command to open it, i get a segmentation fault error. how can i fix this? i'm on a 64bit system [01:58] hola [01:58] Mathman: not familiar with those abreviations...

[01:59] i have two xorg processes running, is this normal [01:59] * nickrud pities Pelo , must be all that cold weather [01:59] aO|DB, I was gonna suggest you use the rest of the free space for /home in ext3 [01:59] EADG: version tracking systems. if you're going to be doing this Linux and/or programming thing seriously, you should look into one [01:59] * robdig gives Pelo some chicken soup [02:00] nomopofomo: I suppose that would depend on which drivers you wanted. ntfs3g is the good stuff these days though I think [02:00] Mathman: would nano have saved an incremental backup? [02:00] EADG: ha, nano? doubtful === noskl1 is now known as nosklo [02:00] * Pelo sits in the warm chicken soup, ahhhh [02:01] * EADG weeps [02:01] if you used something like emacs or vim then those will save backup copies whenever you edit something. if they're configured to do so anyhow. [02:01] * Pelo laughs at EADG [02:01] Pelo [02:01] aO|DB, yes ?

[02:03] http://winutuxu.fr.ma/ [02:03] Yep... still confused, but it is installing [02:03] how do I get into single user mode in ubuntu? [02:03] nickrud, aO|DB needs to manualy partion before installing, 4 gig / , small swap, the rest in /home, all logical, he»'s got 3 windows partitions already [02:03] anybody send this site to canonical please http://winutuxu.fr.ma/ [02:03] Well, I'm really up the creek without a paddle now.

[02:04] aO|DB: sounds like you're moving along nicely, after the install we can inspect what you have [02:04] aO|DB, consider you might have a hidden recovery partition on your hdd, which would show as free space in gparted but would not be usable [02:04] I've tried kernline.. 1 and kernel line.... single [02:04] elecompt2: 2.6.20 is newer than 2.6.6 [02:04] anyway, I am gone [02:04] proprietarysucks: sudo telinit 1 [02:04] I deleted that [02:04] g'night folks [02:04] ok cya! [02:04] need some help getting started with gutsy and a treo 650. shouldn't i be able to plug in via usb and see things happen in dmesg?

After the install we can double check and reformat and reinstall if needed [02:06] Where can I change the screen resolution for the start up of ubuntu? [02:06] aO|DB: good chance reinstall won't be needed, just some tweaking [02:06] nickrud: Hey, is he running into the 4 primary limit [02:06] Mathman: I tried to follow the instructions, and when I tried to install, It said there was an error [02:06] nickrud, are you familiar with the kubuntu partitioner?

[02:07] aO|DB: not particularly, but we'll sort it out [02:07] Jack_Sparrow: it's just starting :) [02:07] elecompt2: the point is, you should be installing ndiswrapper via your package manager. if there's an error then file a bug report [02:07] nickrud, well it lets you resize any partition during install(unlike ubuntu) [02:07] ok [02:07] I've got just a black screen And need to wait until the x server starts. [02:08] nickrud, i was wondering if ubuntu came with a partitioner that could do that(on the live cd) [02:08] aO|DB: Yes, gparted and others [02:08] ok, well its 90% [02:09] exact,for the loading progress bar. I can't see it.

You are most likely doing some typo or other trivbial thing wrong. [02:30] gold44: does it say refresh rate out of range? [02:30] frojnd, it may be vfat, [02:30] Hellow, so it looks like you have the intel 810 chipset. ok [02:30] soldats: let me check, bu t i think the resoultion is wrong, my screen support 1024x and default probably bigger [02:31] aO|DB: install gparted, I don't like the looks of the overlap of the ntfs partition with the other partitions. Not a good looking thing [02:31] hi, im new to ubuntu can anyone help - having issues with wifi (it looks installed )and i can see my AP but i cant connect to it, it just looks like it keeps connecting and nothing - ( using Broadcom wifi chipset) [02:31] nickrud, okay. I have got it. Let me break down my entire HD for you. /dev/sda1(74.52GB) is ntfs. Used-20.70GB Free-53.82GB. Mountpoint for it is /media/disk-1 /dev/sda2(36.88GB) is ext3. Mountpoint /media/disk. /dev/sda3(36GB) is ext3. Mountpoint is / . then I have the two swap spacve partitions. (extended and linux-swap) [02:31] gold44: well what happened, was this the first time. did you edit something. [02:31] nickrud, use this name to talk to, easier to read on this laptop [02:31] Dr_willis: if you have a sec, could you look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55821/ , I don't like the looks of the start blocks [02:31] Hellow, it's a little old so I don't know if 3d is supported by the intel driver for 810 [02:31] aO|DB: ok [02:32] aO|DB-DX: ok that is [02:32] I'm having problems with links to folders containing MP3 files on an NTFS partition. [02:32] Dr_willis, I made a wrong dev, it was dev1 and not dev2 [02:32] how do i test my D3D? [02:32] tantric132: a sec [02:32] is this bad, I mount it under root, and now set as chmod -R 777 and it's making huge scan.. [02:32] nickrud, while im installing what messanger service would you reccomend? [02:32] soldats: just installed it on dual boot. monitor says "out of range", it's not a message from the console. it's a message from my LCD screen itself. [02:33] eck090: D#D? [02:33] nickrud, ive seen that happen at times if you partition the disks oddly. [02:33] direct 3d [02:33] hey what package do i need to install to get compiz-fusion to work on a 1400x ati card?" [02:33] eck090: ehm, do you have wine installed? [02:33] eck090: theres no D3D on linux per se [02:33] soldats: oh no. unable to boot into ubuntu. i have in intitial ram disk prompt [02:33] frojnd, you DONT normally chmod mountpoints that way.. and you definiatly dont do it for NTFS/Vfat filesystems [02:33] kostkon: where can i find a system wide accelerator like Direct X for Windows? [02:34] well im using a linux version of eve-online [02:34] tantric132: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55822/ , add that to the very end of /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:34] but im getting tons of graphic lagg [02:34] Dr_willis, I hope I didn't something screw :S [02:34] Hellow: its included with video card driver [02:34] Hellow: its called opengl [02:34] I need some help withchunksizes. Raid5 array with 4x500gb disks,files ~200mb+ in general. will have a lvm withext3. What chunksize should i set [02:34] aO|DB-DX: pidgin I guess. That's what most people seem to use [02:34] Hellow, for linux you can say it's opegl. but if you don't have 3d support for your card you can't do many things, actually [02:34] eck090: it uses opengl [02:34] gold44: i know. it usually means wrong resolution or bad refresh rates. if you can do ctrl+alt+f2 and get a terminal you can try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and it should rebuild it to the correct settings. otherwise you may be able to get a terminal with recovery mode boot [02:34] ok, im not sure why im getting lagg then [02:34] I bought a power supply for my old computer (500Watts), but the connector for the mb has twelve pins and the entry of the mb has only 10. I managed to stick the twelve pin connector to the entry but now I'm wondering if my mb will burn or something. [02:34] Hellow, I don't know if the intel driver supports 3d for your card [02:34] any ideas?= [02:34] nickrud, where did gparted go?

You seem good to go. Your drive seems formatted oddly to me, but it appears it's working ok [02:35] nickrud, how do I access(and what file) is it? [02:35] Ok, I just put in my new sata drive, formated and partitioned the whole drive. When I boot it up, it goes blank, takes around 5 minutes and gives me the log in screen on ubuntu, Why does it go blank for 5minutes in the beginning? [02:35] that i paste that to [02:36] try booting windows xp? [02:36] Why can't I delete these folder links?! It's driving me crazy. [02:36] tantric132: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:36] aO|DB: yes [02:36] Should I mess with the bios? [02:36] nickrud, thanks bud!

[02:40] ok, i can't seem to get gnome to use a the resolution i know my monitor is capable of handling, it only wants to let me use 800X600 and it can do 1600x1400 [02:40] yea [02:40] i think i fixed it [02:40] ill know in a minute lol [02:40] is there anyway to rotate my desktop screen 90 or 180 degrees in ubuntu? it's really easy in windows... ;p [02:40] !flash [02:40] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:40] frojnd: do something like this just change /dev/hda1 to name of your partition and /mountpoint too echo "/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g 0 0" >> /etc/fstab [02:41] Hey guys, where does Gparted go when it is installed? [02:42] aO|DB: type gparted in a terminal [02:42] w00t fixed [02:42] frojnd: then do sudo chown -R username:username /mountpoint [02:42] jack-desktop, i recall some extra tool (xrand?) that could do that.. or some xorg.conf optiuons.. But ive never tried them out. and it may depend onyour video card. [02:42] hey guys i just installed [sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree].. now it says that i have the latest version, but when i browse to some vids on facebook, it tells me i need a newer version... any ideas? [02:43] Hellow, there is the 810 xorg driver at the repositories. maybe by using this driver you'll get 3d [02:43] RoxanneEDM: firefox [02:43] soldats: hm.. recovery mode is stuck or maybe taking a long time. anyway. i will try slackware and see if i get more luck. i think the main thing is the drivers for my budget motherboard [02:43] can someone help me figure out how to edit the smb.conf file [02:43] nickrud, it now says windows on the list, but when I try to load it I get: Error 22: no such partition [02:43] is ther a quicken alternitave for ubuntu ? [02:43] usser, I don't have hda1 in the first place [02:43] gold44: well if you get recovery to work do the command i gave you earier [02:43] nosaj: try gnu-cash [02:43] hmm ok ill look into it [02:44] soldats: yes firefox is what i use [02:44] thanks [02:44] soldats: okie dok [02:44] frojnd: ok how did u mount the partition give me the command [02:44] RoxanneEDM: in firefox type in the address bar "about:plugins" and tell me what flash version it says is installed [02:44] anyone knows how to fix the segmentation fault error when trying to run kiba-dock on 64bit system? [02:45] soldats: what do i type in the address field? [02:45] usser, mount /dev/sda1 /home/me/Windows [02:46] RoxanneEDM: about:plugins [02:46] does any1 know if gedit periodically saves any documents that aren't saved? ubuntu just crashed on me [02:46] ok, dumb question... can i minimize... like alt+tab [02:46] techqbert: i dont think so, i lost so much data that way [02:46] frojnd: cool so do this gksu gedit /etc/fstab [02:46] o [02:46] k [02:46] usser, ok [02:47] hi any ubuntu member here? [02:47] Can vpnc be set up to only route certain ports/services? [02:47] frojnd: add this line to the end /dev/sda1 /home/me/Windows ntfs-3g 0 0 [02:47] soldats: pfft I just lost a nice chunk of college application essay. hrm. [02:47] anyone know what options i need to open proms on a remote computer that use the x display... i don t need to see the output just launch them [02:47] ello? [02:47] frojnd: now do sudo mount /dev/sda1 [02:47] sorry programs* [02:47] frojnd: it should mount the partition [02:47] techqbert: unless it logs it somewhere i doubt it [02:47] sxealex, You would need to set up 'xhost' to allow the remote user access to the X display, and then just export the display variable, and run them [02:48] frojnd: after that do sudo chown -R yourname:yourname /home/me/Windows [02:48] export it into the computer im sshing from [02:48] Cool finally got vmware to install correctly.. Now just need a decent appliance to boot properly [02:48] ? [02:48] what is easiest to install, a rpm file or tar.gz [02:48] sxealex, on the remote you need to some how run 'xhost +localhost' or similer. (this is a potential security hole) [02:48] !rpm | RoxanneEDM [02:48] RoxanneEDM: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [02:48] sxealex, then export the DISPLAY variable properly, then just run the app. it should then appear on the remote box. [02:49] ohh,,, no sorry thats not what i mean [02:49] can any one tell me how manny argrage users for ubuntu and same for windows? [02:49] the program is on the remote computer [02:49] avrage [02:49] RoxanneEDM: use the tar.gz from the adobe site. and follow the directions for flash install === Sapote_ is now known as Sapote [02:49] but when i run it [02:49] it says it cant find the x display [02:49] sxealex, thats what the exporting the DISPLAY is all about [02:50] ill take that as a no [02:50] export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 or similer [02:50] then run the app [02:50] frojnd: so hows it going? [02:50] sxealex, IF you had ran xhost +localhost that is.. [02:50] ok ill give that a whirl [02:50] this wont work in regular ssh? [02:51] sxealex: in ssh just use -X flag [02:51] usser, he wants it to appear remotely also. [02:51] i thought x flag would show it on my computer [02:51] sxealex: ie ssh -X -C username@remotepc [02:51] no [02:51] sxealex: oh my bad sorry [02:51] or so he said. [02:51] i dont need it on my computer [02:51] :) [02:51] i do this sshing into my mac all the time [02:52] sxealex: just run it like that i believe DISPLAY=:0 && progname [02:52] usser, when I try to do: chown -R joze:site /home/joze/Windows/ it allways says that it's not valid name [02:52] sxealex, the 'critical part' is the X security stuff, thats handled by xhost +. [02:52] sxealex: i think that would work [02:52] frojnd: is it there? [02:52] so DISPLAY=:0 ./program [02:52] soldats: nope. failed. tty error can't access control. i still get initial ram disk prompt. i'll give slackware a try later this week =( [02:52] sxealex: yea [02:53] usser, if what is there :) [02:53] :D [02:53] thanks you! [02:53] worked perfectly [02:53] frojnd: well your /home/joze/Windows is it even there? [02:53] frojnd: also case matters [02:53] usser, ofcourse [02:53] frojnd: Windows and windows are not the same [02:53] gold44: hmm thats too bad. did ubuntu ever start up. maybe had something to with dualboot [02:53] thanks guys :) [02:53] ok, i need a little help, i have the flash tar.gz file on the desktop, i extracted it , now im trying to follow the instructions, bur it is not working , could someone please lend me a helping hand [02:53] sxealex: np [02:53] usser, it's there [02:54] is there a button(s) that i can press to minimize full screen games? [02:54] In the ubuntu livecd there is this "Boot from first hard disk" option. I assume there is a way to tell the livecd boot manager (grub?) to boot from a specific partition (in this specific case, /dev/hdc2). can anyone tell me how I do that? [02:54] Hello [02:54] I have a problem on live cd. [02:54] is anyone else having a problem with the file menu magically opening itself in openoffice writer? [02:54] frojnd: hm, hm can u navigate to it see if your windows files are there? [02:54] does gnu-cash do wills too? [02:54] It says: "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off" [02:54] soldats: no, don't think it's dualboot prob. i am running ubuntu on laptop. the one with problem is my bundled-budget-motherboard-desktop. [02:54] what program makes wills [02:54] usser, chown -R joze:site /home/joze/Windows chown: »joze:site«: not valid name of the group [02:54] would anyone help me get java virtual machine to run on firefox 64bits? i need it for home banking [02:55] frojnd: oh i see change site to joze as well [02:55] usser, yes fiels are there [02:55] gold44: hmm. i donr know what to say. its beyond me :( [02:55] MrPiracy: that is impossible [02:55] usser, i've tryed the same [02:55] Anyone who nows about it? [02:55] It says: "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off" [02:55] MrPiracy: u can install blackdown java but its outdated and buggy [02:55] When I try to boot from live cd [02:55] I uninstalled compiz fusion and now I can only run 1 program at a time on the gnome interface. I tried to reinstall and it gave me an error, cant find the files (even though I ran get update) so now I have been forced to instal xfce4... any idea how i can fix the broken gnome window manager? [02:55] frojnd: 1 sec [02:56] safiyyah, try running metacity --replace [02:56] usser, ofcourse I'm doung this as root [02:56] half the time I log in my computer compiz fails to load... I honestly have no idea what's wrong.... anyone have any ideas? [02:56] safiyyah, some how gnome is defaulting to trying to run compiz, not sure how ti tell it metacity by default [02:56] usser: my bank uses virtual machine [02:57] usser: www.java.com has a version for linux, but it doesnt work [02:57] Dr willis can I do it from where I am now or do I have to log out and go back to Gnome session? [02:57] i have downloaded wubi and installed ubuntu but i want to burn the partition to one of my dvd-r cds can someone tell me how? because im removing off my computer for more space because im getting a new hdd next month [02:57] is anyone else having a problem with the file menu magically opening itself in openoffice writer? - like alt is being pressed, but it does it even if my hands arent on the keyboard, and no other programs do it [02:57] safiyyah, try it now and see. :) if you loging to gnome and got no window decorations, or so forth. try alt-f2 and run metacity --replace [02:58] soldats: it's beyond me too. but i'll keep trying until i find a distro that will work with my desktop. i am only using it as web/file server. so no biggy [02:58] cool [02:58] good luck [02:58] why does the ubuntu updater keep slowing down to like..... 22bites a sec from 970KB/sec [02:58] pppZero: I have been having somewhat-related mystery keys being pressed. when I alt+t for new tab in firefox, sometimes firefox makes like 30 tabs *_* [02:58] dr willis, am not understanding the alt f2 rule. you press alt and f2... release and type metacity-replace at the terminal? [02:59] pppZero: I think it has to do with my hardware though [02:59] I have a problem with my new monitor and Ubuntu. When I go to a smaller resolution for my monitor, say 1280x1024, it fills my whole screen, but when I tell Ubuntu to use the monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050 it only fills part of the screen and it's shifted so far to the right that my monitor's adjustments in the menu don't fix it. [02:59] MrPiracy: theres a 64bit java virtual machine its just theres no 64bit plugin [02:59] I've tried rebooting a couple times and disconnecting the monitor and leaving it disconnected for a couple minutes. [02:59] Heya! [02:59] so is there a way? [03:00] techqbert, i wish i could say the same thing, but its not effecting windows either :( just oo.o [03:00] Hey [03:00] frojnd: hm weird, well we can do it other way important things are your windows files there?

[03:01] pppZero: what about impress or the other oo apps? ya could always try abiword, it's a little lighter [03:01] frojnd: cool cool now open /etc/fstab once again and add users after ntfs-3g [03:01] techqbert, i'll give abiword a spin, i was just using oo cause its there :) [03:01] Hello all [03:01] What's the dvi viewer for Gnome?

I think I destroyed GRUB in the MBR. Can someone help me reinstall it? [03:02] hello folks [03:02] I'm having a problem getting the system monitor to run... when I try running it from terminal it feeds me this error: http://hammer89.pastebin.com/m7e950dad [03:02] For some reason ubuntu is having trouble booting...it takes about 2 minutes or longer to boot, and sometimes just sits there doing nothing untill I restart. [03:03] usser: how about a client? [03:03] usser, I'm trying to umount it but it says something that device is busy [03:03] When I try to boot from live cd It says: "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off" [03:03] MrPiracy: in case of java i'd install opera and just use 32bit java [03:03] pppZero: I know the feeling. I always keep abiword handy on lesser machines like my gentoo-loaded ibook g3 [03:03] MrPiracy: hm, built in nautilus does just fine [03:03] For some reason ubuntu is having trouble booting...it takes about 2 minutes or longer to boot, and sometimes just sits there doing nothing untill I restart. Anyone wan to help me out? [03:03] MrPiracy, i'm not a great fan of the linux ftp clients, nautilus (gnome file manager) does a fairly good job of handling ftp [03:04] frojnd: close all the programs that have your windows partition open [03:04] usser: that's ok, i found a website that has a work around for it, i'll give it a try [03:04] Wasney: when it just starts press esc that takes you to boot menu [03:04] usser: thx for the ftp tips [03:04] usser, everything is closed just terminal [03:04] Wasney: press e on the very first line [03:04] Can anyone help me out?

[03:05] Wasney: and delete "splash" at the end after that press enter and "b" [03:05] what is the difference between someone who programs self taught and someone who progams taught by a teacher/university [03:05] Is there a reason to keep 386 version of the kernel around? Can I safely remove it? [03:05] Wasney: that should temporarily start ubuntu without splash screen so that u can see whats going on when it boots [03:05] nobody knows how i can minimize a full screen program? [03:05] I'm running the generic version. [03:06] kercyr: i probably wouldn't *remove* it, just in case, but you can comment it out of your grub if you want [03:06] frojnd: in terminal do cd\ [03:06] When I try to reinstall GRUB, nothing works. Nothing that I try to works. I cannot get Ubuntu to boot. What could the problem be? [03:06] echo090: alt-tab? [03:06] frojnd: cd\ [03:06] doesnt work [03:06] frojnd: err cd [03:06] usser: K. Thanks That should help me find my problem [03:06] wasney...it could be a safe effort on your side to reinstall as the workarounds arent a fix [03:06] *tries once more* I'm having a problem getting the system monitor to run... when I try running it from terminal it feeds me this error: http://hammer89.pastebin.com/m7e950dad [03:06] kercyr: at least if its only commented out, if you ever need it for some reason, boot to cli, remove the # sign,a nd its baack in your menu [03:06] could be something with cedega i guess [03:06] any ideas? anyone?

[03:07] wease|: wait... no [03:07] IndyGunFreak, yeah... it makes me queasy to remove it. But, the grub.conf needs to get updated every time I upgrade. I guess I could be worse off. [03:07] frojnd: no if u mounted it now it should let u modify the files [03:07] silas428: yes, u make money go round [03:07] wease|: but I can run it if I run sudo gnome-system-monitor from terminal [03:07] kercyr: yeah, don't remove it, juts comment it out, so its not in your menu when you boot up [03:07] Dreamore: I would try the alternate install cd first [03:08] Mrpiracy: I am in an IT program that offers no progamming classes, but I want to learn to program, should I switch to CS?

[03:22] weasel: no [03:22] and no errors? [03:22] wease|: no errors from the gui... only if I try running it from the terminal [03:23] djezer that's a standard usb controller, so it at least sees the usb ports ok [03:23] Ashfire908: If you dont have untrusted people using shell accounts on your system then the exploit isnt an issue [03:23] amendo:Basicly i get 1-2 second lag from my keyboard sometimes I cant finish typing a whole word before it shows up. I even have to turn off repeat keys because it goes crazy [03:23] Ashfire908-> do your download when you go to bed at night..by the time you're awake the next it is done downloading [03:23] how do i change the terminal from the current user to root.... i need root priviledges [03:23] !sudo [03:23] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[03:24] techqbert, abiword is pretty nice, thanks for the tip :) [03:24] amenado, i can't do that. it's a. a cell phone (free but only in the free calling range) and b. i have a rack server sitting in my house and it's freaking noisey and it's acting as a gateway [03:24] Weez i'm not sure that's the right package name...might want to check it twice [03:24] !webcam [03:24] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [03:24] hammer89, you can go ahead and install it but i am not sure if that will be the fix [03:25] wease|: yeah...

I can't even use repeat keys because it becomes impossible to type. [03:25] sudo isnt doing what i need it to do.... [03:25] djezer well you'd have to have the camera mounted for it to be recognized, and I'm not sure what can be messed up in automount land so I probably can't help you [03:25] <[gquit]bombadil_> i need some way to make my computer utilize my UPS and monitor its battery time [03:25] Ashfire908-> per Jack if you are the only user for now, dont worry about it for now..btw a whole rack and you are only using your cellfone to dial up? === [gquit]bombadil_ is now known as bombadil[gquit] [03:25] safiyyah: what are you trying to do?

[03:26] hammer89, i cant find a real fix for something like that due to its peculiarity for me. go forward with an update and see [03:26] !rootshell | safiyyah [03:26] safiyyah: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [03:26] amenado: :) [03:26] Anyone know how to fix automount (or mount a camera)? [03:26] wease|: alright... be back later [03:26] djezer: Did you check the supported hardware page? [03:26] amenado, i use it to do other devices, but it's also a test server and a sort of playground.

[03:27] can i multiple ATA contoller cards of the same type and not have irq conflicts? [03:27] Jack_Sparrow, it worked fine last week... it worked for years [03:27] safiyyah: no no no, java and everything else you are likely to need is in Ubuntu's repositories [03:27] Jack_Sparrow, now the camera or my usb drive don't automount [03:27] safiyyah: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [03:27] Ashfire908-> well if you dont have a big pipe to download, it is an issue, how you can make use of your whole rack of equipment and not access beyond it is amazing..lol [03:27] djezer: Have you used or installed things from outside repos? [03:28] astro thank you [03:28] safiyyah: you're welcome ;) [03:28] djezer: Hopefully you have never used automatix or envy? [03:28] safiyyah: it is also include din 'ubuntu-restricted' [03:28] Can someone pls help me move 16GBs of unallocated space to a different partition?? Can i do it on the live disk?? [03:28] amenado, access beyond it? (btw, it's 2001, kinda old.) [03:28] For some reason or another metacity too over for emerald on my machine. running emerald --replace just stalls with no output. Glxgears still runs fine though.

[03:29] djezer: What about the rest [03:29] i dont have gparted livecd, what do i use on the ubuntu live cd? [03:29] Jack_Sparrow, what rest? [03:29] pppZero: that's humorous. I think kde even has a word processor. kword, its called maybe. I haven't been following that one htough [03:29] I have tons of keyboard lag,I can sometimes finish whole words before it shows up on screen. I can't even use repeat keys because it becomes impossible to type. Wired generic logitech keyboard works fine in windows. [03:29] aO|DB gparted is on the ubuntu livecd as well [03:30] djezer: Installing from outside repos [03:30] How I can get ut2004 to work, I installed game and patch and now it only shows splash and quits [03:30] amenado, you mean you wonder why other people can't access it? [03:30] bombadil[gquit]: "gapcmon - apcupsd monitor GUI" "knutclient - A KDE GUI that displays UPS statistics from NUT's upsd" [03:30] Jack_Sparrow, the last thing I tried to install was iceweasel from deb repo [03:30] furythor: I think there was a command line option to set a useable res for that program. [03:31] djezer: What else since you last had the cam working [03:31] Anyone know of any backup software with pretty guis and stuff that works on Linux, BSD, OSX, and windows? [03:31] ( the server can be guiless as its on a linux box ) [03:32] amenado, no dsl, at the end of the phone line. modems can't even get 56k connections.

[03:37] what is the easiest way for me to create a ntfs partition on my hd? [03:37] sweet... thanks flannel [03:38] ArrPirate: Usually that is the result of the wrong v/h refresh settings not just the sync 75 or whatever that most people know about. Look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf then post it in the pasatebin, not in the channel. [03:38] hammer89, apparently something you have installed doesnt agree with gnome [03:38] weasel: one other thing... would that be what's responsible for compiz not initiating? (if I try logging in and out enough times compiz initiates properly... eventually... and when it does everything is stable) [03:38] ArrPirate: I would suspect you need to change a HorizSync setting in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. To high of a refresh rate could cause your monitor's distress.

To open a new windows, you must firt close the existing Firefix process [03:42] weasel: sorry for leaving... had to restart... it got too unstable :P [03:42] djezer: normally you have to use a card reader, unless you have camera-specific support via gphoto and friends [03:42] i see... and this program, Kompozer is very similar to Dream weaver? [03:42] djezer, mounting a usb camera is fine if the cam is supported [03:42] oi [03:42] weasel: I've been trying to figure out what went wrong... whatever it is seems to be getting systematically worse [03:42] ste-foy: 'killall firefox' and 'killall firefox-bin' [03:42] Can someone help me? Apparently I have 4 "Primary" partitions, and there is 17 Gigs of unallocated space, I want to move the unallocated space to a diff partition.

[03:44] and thanks mjw- [03:44] weasel: sure... what info would you need? [03:44] aO|DB: Easiest way is to delete one of the 4 you have, preferably #4 then create an extended or use the livecd to combine the unallocated space with an existing partition [03:44] hammer89, i feel like im reaching at straws to get a definitive answer. but having said that...when it corrupts the gnome desktop then my opinion is to reinstall said desktop manager and reinstall compiz [03:44] can i delete the swap?????? [03:44] Jack_Sparrow, I'm UNAWARE of anything that could have broken the automount! [03:44] weasel: hmm [03:44] aO|DB: that would be a bad idea [03:44] hi all... [03:45] well cant i just remake the swap after?

ANYONE?? [03:45] hammer89, once you reach errors in the core system of gnome - i.e. the system-monitor [03:45] then you get some shaky action [03:45] aO|DB: oh yes sure if u planning on recreating it [03:45] and it is hard to produce code to fix it [03:45] i'm having problem with my dial-up connection... i'm using hp nx9010 [03:45] wease|: yeah... what's the name of the package I'd have to reinstall?

I mounted my usb hard drive, but I don't know how to do it for my camera [03:46] can anybody help me? lspci says my modem is ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller [03:46] Jack_Sparrow: not of the entire FS though [03:47] hammer89...system...about gnome [03:47] weasel: 2.20.1 [03:47] KlrSpz: I like backuppc. It seems especially nice for a mixed OS envirionment. But I didn't try many different packages. [03:47] KlrSpz: Actually, I did the entire partition and excluded, archives and things I didnt need. [03:47] Jack_Sparrow, I'm not sure what kind of work besides reinstalling the whole system [03:47] i would first go about unsinstalling compiz [03:47] easiest effort [03:48] weasel: okay [03:48] Jack_Sparrow, I'm not a programmer [03:48] stroyan: ok cool.. was what i was looking for.. you think rsync servers on the windows pc's would be worth while or another route? [03:48] No one here knows how to manually mount a camera?? [03:48] uninstall compiz and see if the stability is restored [03:48] brb [03:48] is it that arcane? === greencookies is now known as greencookie [03:49] will ubuntu installer automatically partition the max swap space if im using the live cd installer? [03:49] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but i like to get the entire structure so i don't have to start from any other images for a base fs [03:49] can't find anything on google to fix the broken automount or even how to simply manually mount my camera [03:49] KlrSpz: I use backuppc on ubuntu pulling from a windows system with cygwin rsync. It did have some trouble with getting rsync on a vista system happy. [03:49] djezer: I dont have the time to help with that, but start with lsusb in cli and see if it still sees the camera [03:49] Is there a delicious addon for opera? [03:50] well shoot how do i re-allocate the unallocated space?? [03:50] stroyan: so you setup rsyncd with a sync-pont? or did you push? [03:50] Where I can find UT2004 configuration file ? [03:50] aO|DB: You combine it with the last partition [03:50] i've booted from a install cd - i'd like to actually install from a ISO image on a USB disk - is this possible? [03:50] Jack_Sparrow: how? i am using gparted [03:50] aO|DB: you resize a partition which is adjacent to the unallocated [03:50] anyone know the script to put into terminal in order to download kompozer after adding t deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-backports main universe multiverse restricted [03:51] KlrSpz: The backuppc scripts on ubuntu pull with rsync from linux and windows. It can also restore files that way. [03:51] Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [03:51] Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [03:51] Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [03:51] Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [03:51] Does anybody know what might cause keyboard lag of upto 1-2 seconds sometimes i am able to complete whole words before they show up on screen?I can't even use repeat keys with out it going crazy [03:51] aO|DB: Are you running livecd or off the hard drive [03:51] live [03:51] tg3: eth%d: Cannot get nvarm lock, tg3_nvram_init failed. [03:51] illriginal: the command is: sudo apt-get install kompozer [03:51] i am trying to copy a folder off of a 2nd hard drive hooked up thru usb.. it says i don't have permission's.. does any one know how i can get that folder copied over? [03:51] any ideaswhat this special dmesg line meanss? [03:51] ohhhhh [03:51] stroyan: yeah, but what i'm asking is how did you get windows setup with rsync via cygwin? did you just set up the daemon? or just connect with a cygwin-capable user? [03:52] i can only resize the one next to it???? [03:52] aO|DB: gparted shows 4 partitions and unallocated space, start by unmounting the last partition [03:52] aO|DB: yes you have to potentially slide (move) other partitions to get it where it's needed [03:53] hmm... still doesn't let me download it. [03:53] KlrSpz: I set up with a user first. But I ended up making it a service by the time I had it working. [03:53] astro76: Thank YOUUUUUU!!!! I got it going, still needed to get firefox to do it itself, but also the key is the correct installation (which I couldn't have done without you) [03:53] ok, excellent, just wondering... i didn't really wanna install all of cygwin though just for a daemon.. or do you know of a different package? [03:53] back [03:53] Looking for some help, I finally got the live cd to work and im unsure of where to install the bootloader, I want windows to manager the bootloading, and I have two hard drives. Id like to install the boot loader onto the second hard drive, So .. If my windows hard drive is hd0 would my second hard drive be hd1? also will ubuntu installer automatically partition the max swap space if im using the automated partition using the full hard d [03:53] safiyyah: excellent, enjoy ;) [03:53] what is the filesystem for a digital camera? [03:53] astro76: I fear he is a bit of a novice to do all of that. I thought I would start with something simple [03:54] Jack_Sparrow: I'll let you continue so as not to confuse ;) [03:54] Also, for some reason now my big storage drive is now in this "extended" thing, and i would like to take it out [03:54] astro76: I was about to call it a night [03:54] hah [03:54] i am trying to copy a folder off of a 2nd hard drive hooked up thru usb.. it says i don't have permission's.. does any one know how i can get that folder copied over? [03:54] well I'll help if I can [03:55] encrypt128bit, you must have a reason for wanting windows to manage the boot process .. care to share? [03:55] sfears: how did you mount it? [03:55] it self mounted [03:55] aO|DB: I can help you tomorrow if you dont finish [03:55] do an ls on the mountpoint and see what the perms are [03:55] and is it in your fstab? [03:55] sudo mount /dev/sda /home/user_name/Desktop/mnt? [03:55] hey guys, does anyone use VirtualBox? [03:55] will check fstab [03:55] aO|DB: the extended thing is the way to have more than 4 partitions [03:55] Scunizi: Its just the way I want it. I want linux as a secondary system at the moment, and I know how to make dual booting work under windows [03:55] sfears: that's how you mounted it? [03:56] sfears: then yeah, root would only have access [03:56] no.. i was asking if that's how i should mount it [03:56] i just plugged it in and it showed up on the desktop [03:56] well you'd put permissions on it possibly, or a guid atleast [03:56] i don't see it in fstab [03:56] KlrSpz: I am looking at my notes. I had to change the 'power management' setting for a wifi card to keep a vista system happy during a long backup. It needed to be changed to "best performance". [03:56] astro76: how would i go about making it so that my windows XP and storage drive are inside it? (right now there is only my storage drive) [03:56] aO|DB: you can have at max 4 primary partitions, so the "extended" container was created which can hold more partitions (called logical partitions) [03:56] well run mount without options, find the mountpoint and do an LS on it [03:56] ohh [03:57] hmm. seems that linux-ubuntu-modules isn't installed automatically when doing a preseed install, seems weird. how do I make a dependency against it properly? [03:57] it has ubuntu installed on it.. i was using it the other day and want to pull a couple files off of it [03:57] stroyan: thanks for the tip, i'm all ubuntu, gentoo, or xp here [03:57] aO|DB: actually, everything can generally be logical... but windows usually demands to be a primary partition [03:57] how do i mount an external usb hdd? what would it be under in /dev/ ? [03:57] encrypt128bit, you have a couple of options. Disconnect the windows drive and install Ubuntu to the remining drive so it puts its bootloader there, then switch back and forth using the bios. or Install ubuntu letting it install it's bootloader then return to windows and resetup windows bootloader the way you want. [03:57] astro76: yea thats cool you can do that, how would i move the win xp partition into the sub partition? [03:57] weasel: I reinstalled compiz... still acting up... took me like 8 logins to get my desktop to show up [03:58] anyone can help fix automount? or help mounting a camera manualy???? [03:58] hammer89, did you try to run it without compiz? [03:58] i would like to have "comic sans ms" font installed on my gutsy. how can i do that? [03:58] Scunizi: Can't I just tell the installer to install the boot loader to my second hard drive? Hence my question, would my second hard drive be considered hd1? [03:58] encrypt128bit, although "grub" the default boot loader for Ubuntu is fairly transparent and easy to use. [03:58] no... though I have all the plugins disabled [03:58] @ weasel [03:59] Does anybody know what might cause keyboard lag of upto 1-2 seconds sometimes i am able to complete whole words before they show up on screen?I can't even use repeat keys with out it going crazy [03:59] hammer89, have you performed fsck at reboot? [03:59] Sup, do u guys happen to be gamers [03:59] ok there's no help here I'm gonna try using a liveCD [03:59] xeom check your bios [03:59] weasel: no... how would I do that? [03:59] anyone know how to start a program so that its a restart mode in gnome-session ? [03:59] I get this error when i try to run ut2004 "Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file" How I do fix that ? [03:59] how do i mount an external usb hdd? what would it be under in /dev/ ? [03:59] Hammer89: `sudo touch /forcefsck` then reboot (and go get a coffee) [04:00] SHMO:What setting in my bios + i dont think its my bios because it don't get this issue at all in windows [04:00] are there any gaming irc channels [04:00] encrypt128bit, post facto you can redo grub to the second drive, but it won't really do what you want.. maybe someone else in here will have more input if it's possible. [04:00] are there any gaming irc channels [04:00] ? [04:00] flannel, thanks [04:00] weasel: so try that? [04:00] When will you release 8.04? [04:00] yup [04:00] kyuubiseal, for glest there is #glest [04:00] xeom windows over-rides bios settings so that's why you haven't noticed it before [04:00] encrypt128bit: you can install grub to the mbr of your other hd then use dd to dump said mbr to a file. you can then place that file in your windows c: drive's root and the modify boot.ini to use this file when the ubuntu option is selected [04:00] kazim59: I think April 6 [04:00] kazim59: April (end-ish) [04:00] how do i mount an external usb hdd? what would it be under in /dev/ ? [04:01] I cannot fix my GRUB...I still get a Error 22: No such partition when I select windows from the list. [04:01] rebooting [04:01] How abput call of duty 4 === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:01] I even ran sudo update-grub [04:01] kazim59 the naming tells you the release date lol [04:01] encrypt128bit, there is some reading that might shed some light.. check out http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm. [04:01] im waitin on 8.04 [04:01] How can i organize my partitions so that linux and swap are in one part and Windows and storage are in the other? [04:01] '08 '04 [04:01] SHMO: it should be auto-mounted when you plug it in within gnome [04:01] NigelS_: I know that.... no one is listening to my question though, is my second hard drive considered hd1? [04:01] i love runnin the new OSs [04:01] SHMO:ah its not cosistant btw.it comes and goes. What should i look for in the bios [04:01] great fun for me [04:01] thats all im asking [04:01] aO|DB: I don't think windows will boot if it were logical, also I don't think believe you can convert.. [04:01] encrypt128bit: yes [04:01] nekostar: how come? [04:01] is there an Irc channel for call of duty 4 [04:01] kyuubiseal: probably not [04:01] xeom irq priority for keyboard [04:01] should mount -a should load all file system types?? [04:02] aO|DB: what do you have now and what do you want to resize? could you pastebin the output of 'sudo parted /dev/sda print' and I'll take a look [04:02] i built my latest computer around the alpha gutsy [04:02] kyuubiseal: probably on quakenet or efnet, but not on freenode [04:02] kazim59: okay, got it [04:02] how can i install a new font in gutsy?

[04:04] I cannot connect my wireless to a particular hidden essid [04:04] that was unny [04:04] test [04:04] *funny [04:04] Shrugz, Evolution comes with ubuntu and works well. korganizer is another then you could also install zDesktop from zimbra.. [04:04] astro76: sda2 (which is extended) with only one thing under it (sda5 --> storeage) [04:05] NigelS_? [04:05] two_bits then unhide it :) [04:05] i think the problem stems from the fact that one router is broadcasting two different essids, and i was wondering if anyone else has any experience in this [04:05] then the linux part and swap [04:05] mjw-: unfortunately, this is my school network [04:05] yah i tried evolution Scunizi but it did not work for me [04:05] Shrugz, are you looking for specific features? [04:06] nekostar, I've been working on this for awhile now and can't seem to get it to work. I opened /boot/grub/menu.lst and adding the Windows thing at the very bottom and when I reboot and press Windows on the GRUB menu I get a Error 22: No such partition [04:06] !paste [04:06] its the georgia tech wireless network, if anyone knows about that [04:06] just one able to connect to a stmp and or pop3 server [04:06] !flood [04:06] mm bots not here atm [04:06] one sec [04:06] so i can check my email via my website that i own [04:06] how can I enable my dual-screen with an 7600 GS nvidia ? [04:06] Shrugz: Use evolution. It's the ltitle mail icon on the top of your screen (in the middle of the three) [04:06] ç [04:06] i cannot install nvidia-settings 'cuz it want to remove my nvidia drivers [04:06] http://pastebin.com/m5fe9b6bf [04:06] Shrugz, include my nick when answering. type first few characters then hit tab to complete otherwise your messages dissappear in the morass. [04:07] first off thats my /boot/grub/menu.lst tantric132 [04:07] now can it let you boot into ANY of the partitions? [04:07] like linux? [04:07] weasel: back... still no luck with compiz running... desktop loaded faster this time though (could just be chance) [04:07] Shrugz, so what you're saying is you want to get to your pop email via your personal site.. right? [04:08] hammer89, seems to me that compiz is draggin you down for reasons i cant help [04:08] nekostar, can yuou explain [04:08] !mail > Scunizi [04:08] Scunizi yes that's exactly what i am saying [04:09] hammer89, id suggest uninstalling compiz and performing a clean reboot to see how it goes without compiz [04:09] wease|: possibly... there seem to be deeper problems though... just from what I can see (stuff not initializing properly, etc...) [04:09] tantric132 i mean can you not boot into any operating systems or just windows you cannot get to [04:09] and is it on the same physical hdd [04:09] wease|, reboot? have you confused this with the ##windows channel? [04:09] bruenig: lol [04:09] bruenig lol.... it is called for now and then tho :P [04:09] Why does it seem that every other Linux kernal has a CPU-leak for Netowrk manager? [04:09] aO|DB: it's hard to tell you what to do without understanding your physical setup [04:09] nekostar, yeah. i can boot into the three ubuntu options, just not windows. at first, Windows wasn't even on the list(well it was when I first formatted, but disapeared) so I added a line at the end of menu.lst [04:10] hello ? [04:10] bruenig, no, i simply call a reboot in linux as a ctrl-backspace [04:10] someone to help me PLS ? [04:10] jpeterman, linux kernel and network manager? do you know what you are talking about [04:10] Shrugz, sounds like that would be a server related program to access pop. Of course you'd have to do something on the web page to pipe access via html.. You might try asking in #ubuntu-server. [04:10] dual-screen with nvidia 7600 GS [04:10] restarting x is not a reboot nor anything even related to it [04:10] tantric132 ok boot into the ubuntu then [04:10] without nvidia-settings [04:10] bruenig, it is close enough for me [04:10] bruenig not sure. all i know is every few times i update linux kernels network manager all of a sudden starts consuming 98% of CPU after being up for about 20minutes [04:10] i rarely reboot my computer [04:10] that's like saying restarting firefox is rebooting [04:10] thats as close as i get [04:11] lap you want dual mons without nvidia driver? [04:11] lol [04:11] !MPlayer [04:11] nekostar: no.. [04:11] nekostar, im in ubuntu right now [04:11] bruenig it just started 5minutes after adding the new kernel today, didnt have it happen for the last few months [04:11] jpeterman, that cannot have anything to do with the kernel, but I would recommend just not using it [04:11] nekostar: i want dualscreen with nvidia-glx-new installed. [04:11] bruenig, you would be right [04:11] tantric132 ok in terminal do: sudo fdisk -l [04:11] Gutsy question: How would I edit a configuration file in the usr/share folder? Konqueror-superuser won't let me modify the file, nor will text editors [04:11] but i dont use windows [04:11] and I cannot install nvidia-settings [04:11] jpeterman, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc [04:11] wease|: would compiz really have any effect on elements of the desktop not drawing properly? [04:11] so my way of a "reboot" is different [04:11] Scunizi if that's the case then there's no need for me to ask in that channel i think i already know the problem you just opened my eyes is all its my box so i can fix it from there :) thank you for your input [04:12] bruenig Ceteris parabis, what else could it be? [04:12] http://pastebin.com/m1d67931 >> lap [04:12] Shrugz, np :) [04:12] :) [04:12] jpeterman, network manager being sucky [04:12] nekostar, ok [04:12] lap nvidia-settings is already installe [04:12] d [04:12] bruenig hadnt happened for 3+months [04:12] its built into the drivers [04:12] just run as root lol [04:12] jpeterman, still [04:12] Shrugz: You want to host your own mail, on your home box, so you can connect (to your home box) and get your email? [04:12] tantric132 paste that on www.pastebin.com [04:12] Scunizi wow i am a newbie to ubuntu a friend of mine named chris introduced me to it. [04:13] Gutsy question: How would I edit a configuration file in the usr/share folder? Konqueror-superuser won't let me modify the file, nor will text editors. [04:13] hammer89, IMO yes [04:13] oh chris introduced you [04:13] Shrugz: Or you want to connect to your ISPs (whatever) POP and SMTP servers with an email client? [04:13] No Flannel i want to connect to my box a box i purchased from a friend [04:13] ok well it's been atleast 24 hours in this chat room trying to solve my problem, but i guess when it comes to support, you get what you pay for, so thanks for the help (or lack there-of) [04:13] weasel: okay... I'll try totally disabling compiz then [04:13] Shrugz, It's fun stuff.. welcome [04:13] Trogdor3634 sudo nano /usr/share/whatever [04:13] Hammer89 if no joi here then try #compiz-fusion for related problems ^^ [04:13] nekostar, http://pastebin.com/m442cd0d9 [04:13] Shrugz: Right. So, you want a central mail repository, that grab sstuff from various POP sources [04:14] tantric132 bingo [04:14] that first one sda1 is your windows [04:14] Bruenig you might now know the chris im speaking of but maybe you do or where you just being a smart allic lol [04:14] weasel: brb [04:14] now post your /boot/grub/menu.lst for me tantric132 [04:14] compiz can be sketchy depending on overall hardware and what not [04:14] Flannel like windows outlook but better [04:15] nekostar, http://pastebin.com/m60b1e9d9 [04:15] mjw-... any way to do it in GUI? [04:15] weasel: compiz is disabled... things are still drawing wrong [04:15] Shrugz: Outlook is just a mail client, if I have all my mail on outlook on box A, can I view that mail on box B? [04:15] weasel: logged in faster, though [04:15] Flannel yes that's what im saying that's what i need [04:15] Trogdor3634 I know gksu is used with graphical programs in gnome, don't know the one for kde off the top of my head [04:15] blah someone needs to rewrite flash [04:16] Shrugz: you need a mail client? or you want to view your mail (stored on box A) from box B? [04:16] adobe's on crack [04:16] mje- I'm on gnome [04:16] hammer89, it is close to a solution but not as well as i wanted to hear [04:16] weasel: the windows on my desktop are randomly flashing :P [04:16] is it possible to install IE on ubuntu? [04:16] nekostar, I think I just go an idea bud. Can you do me a favor? Look at the bottom of what I sent you. See where it says second drive? [04:16] tantric132 do you have multiple hard drives? [04:16] !ie4linux | MrPiracy [04:16] lol MrPiracy who would do that [04:16] Shrugz, Flannel, maybe zimbra ? [04:16] Flannel I Want a email client to retreive my email from my box's email setting's directly onto my computer [04:16] Trogdor3634 then use gksu gedit /usr/share/whatever [04:16] wow... why would one want IE on Linux [04:16] :D [04:16] MrPiracy: through wine, yes. check out "ies4linux" [04:17] MrPiracy: google ies4linux [04:17] !gksu | Trogdor3634 [04:17] ha [04:17] hammer89, somebody else may chime in to help but i would consider reinstalling gnome 2.20.1 [04:17] thats probably it [04:17] for testing sites for IE compatability? [04:17] nekostar, if I replaced second drive with /dev/sda2 [04:17] Shrugz: right, thats just a regular mail client. Evolution will work fine for you. [04:17] for sites that don't worok in FF? [04:17] zelrikriando: well ... there are some pages that can only be seen from IE [04:17] Scunizi zimbra? ill look into that [04:17] !ie4linux [04:17] just make it the same as the ubuntu entryies [04:17] that was a rhetorical question (A) [04:17] wease|: I'm nearly desperate enough to try it [04:17] !ies4linux [04:17] MrPiracy: you'll need to google, we dont have a factoid [04:17] MrPiracy: installing IE will make things worse [04:17] hm actually [04:17] hey [04:17] zelrikriando: how would it make it worse? [04:17] yeah [04:18] Flannel omg i just finished telling Scunizi that it does not work for me Evolution that iis [04:18] Shrugz, zimbra is now owned by Yahoo but it's opensource. there's a networked server addition and desktop accessable via http from any browser. [04:18] hammer89, its not a big thing to reinstall [04:18] change it to hdd (1,0) [04:18] compwiz18: by using IE you play M$'s game [04:18] hi newb question.. I installed RPM in gutsy using sudo apt rpm.. i am trying to install the vmware player.rpm ... I have no idea how to install this thing though.. do i have to do it through the terminal?? [04:18] it just seems there are corrupt areas therein [04:18] wease|: except the theming on my laptop has hours of work behind it :P [04:18] Scunizi Barfs At Anything owned by yahoo sorry that's just me [04:18] zelrikriando: fair enough, but if you've gotta access a site, then you've gotta access the site... that's the only way [04:18] Shrugz: What about it doesn't work for you? "It doesn't work" doesn't tell us a whole lot about whats going wrong [04:18] !alien | wassa [04:18] compwiz18: I dont want to access corrupted sites [04:19] Shrugz, they just bought it in the last couple of months. It's a very good app. [04:19] !alien [04:19] wassa: you use alien to convert rpms but it's highly *not* recommended [04:19] zelrikriando: then don't install IE :) [04:19] I dont [04:19] :) [04:19] Flannel i configured it correctly Evolution but it did not connect maybe its my network maybe its my box i have no clue at this point in time [04:19] astro76 why can't i just install it in some normal method? [04:20] hammer89, if its that big a deal then you may want to wait for somebody who can help solve it from a command line as i cannot at this point. [04:20] Scunizi i dont think there going to be buying anything for awhile have you by any chance looked at the news on Yahoo lately [04:20] Shrugz: alright, well, we'll be happy to help you diagnose it. If you're looking for non-evolution alternatives, there are plenty. One that comes to mind is Thunderbird [04:20] wassa: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [04:20] weasel: okay... not sure how long I can wait though... it's pretty much unusable [04:20] is there no way to install this without installing some other application?? why does everything with this build have to be so friggin challenging? [04:20] i have several parts of a rar archive (part1.rar, part2.rar, etc.) how do i extract the content so that it is joined back together? (ubuntu 7.10) [04:20] Shrugz, no.. they spent 10' of millions on zimbra [04:20] hmmm so I can't install the vmware player then? [04:20] G_Benson: archive manager should do that for you automatically [04:21] Flannel Okay ill look into thunderbird sounds like something created for mysql lol [04:21] wassa: sure, get a vmware deb, and you wont need to use alien [04:21] wassa: Using alien lets you install and remove a package with apt tools like the rest of the system. With rpm you would install with rpm -i vmware.rpm [04:21] im off to bed [04:21] night folks [04:21] weasel: here's one possibility (maybe)... I used to have KDE installed as well as gnome... I've since removed KDE (I think I still have enlightenment installed, though)... is it possible that some configuration file from KDE is messing me up? [04:21] Scunizi: and zimbra's future is in serious doubt because of MS trying to buyout Yahoo. Read the zimbra forums [04:21] what is vmware deb? [04:21] Scunizi Yahoo is in the middle of negotiateing with microsoft microsoft wants to buy out Yahoo for some where's around 46 Billion Dollors [04:22] mje- thanks, I opened gedit via gksu and edited the file from there. Does GKSU show up in the default ubuntu menubar? [04:22] ushimitsudoki, Shrugz i know.. time will tell what will actually happen. [04:22] that will not save microsoft from copalsing [04:22] Trogdor3634 you could make a launcher for gksu gedit if that's what you're getting at [04:22] Scunizi well i will half to talk with a admin friend of mine who work's for yahoo he will half to tell me about it on what's going on [04:22] hammer89, no. they normally run separately from my understanding. KDE is KDE, Gnome is Gnome, XFCE is XFCE, etc etc [04:22] I know I can, I'm asking if it's already on there and I missed it [04:23] weasel: okay === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [04:23] Ubuntu renames half its applications to generic names [04:23] the new monopoly is google [04:23] How do i use ls to only list the files and not directories? [04:23] Shrugz, if it's in dought grab it soon. [04:23] Trogdor3634: thats incorrect [04:23] wassa: I'm really not aware of the best way to install vmware on Ubuntu currently, but you would be better off with their .tar package rather than .rpm [04:23] that is for certain [04:23] Flannel: as in "Partition Editor" rather than GParted [04:24] hi [04:24] Trogdor3634: The file itself is still gparted, just because a menu entry may not be, doesn't mean its been renamed. [04:24] !vmware | wassa [04:24] Scunizi buy as much yahoo stock as you can before its all gone as soon as microsoft doe's buy out yahoo LOL anyways [04:24] wassa: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [04:24] Shrugz, :) [04:24] That's what I'm asking - are there any menu entries for gksu by default that I'm missing? [04:24] ushimitsudoki i was expecting an iso image, instead i get a bunch of files [04:25] Trogdor3634: what do you mean "for gksu"? [04:25] Trogdor3634, nope but you can make some if you like. [04:25] hi people [04:25] k, thx [04:25] anyone used xvkbd ? [04:25] How do i use ls to only list the files and not directories? [04:25] Scunizi Flannel thank you for all your help i will look into those application's as soon as possable this is 1 of the first times i come in that i actualy got any awnser's is newbie to ubuntu but i am geting the hang of it i got to go now you both have a nice night [04:25] cè qualke italiano qui?????????????????? [04:25] stroyan: mind helping me wrap my head around something with backuppc? I can't figure out how to do a per-host configuration? [04:25] !it | Scurubuz [04:25] Scurubuz: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [04:25] Shrugz, night!.. [04:26] thanks [04:26] I don't know why this is happening... but when i switch on Appearance>Visual Effects>Normal... I lose the title bars and window frames to any window. I also can't see the terminal if I pull it up. This is on a fresh upgrade to gutsy from feisty. I hope someone here has heard of this issue before... [04:26] :) [04:26] G_Benson: archive manager will support automatically re-joining the .rar archives ... for example, if you click on the .rar one, then all the .r00-r99 and so forth will be included when the file is extracted. Check what you get when just dbl-clicking one one of the .rar files [04:27] probando [04:27] iratik: this is because compiz has turned off "window decorations" probably [04:27] From the manual: gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo. Their primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need root without the need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly [04:27] How do i use ls to only list the files and not directories? [04:27] KlrSpz: I put each per host config file in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/hostname/config.pl [04:27] ya misno regreso restarting [04:27] ushimitsudoki: how might I address this issue? [04:28] Hence, if the given instructions are "Open up an X terminal emulator and type in gksu..." [04:28] doesn't make much sense [04:28] iratik: I do it my using the compiz settings manager to make sure window decorations are enabled. I don't know a better solution (but I wish I did!) [04:28] stroyan: yeah, but how do i tell it to connect to each individual one? [04:28] any idea why it isn't on the default menu? [04:28] stroyan: it seems like they all share a common connection schema [04:28] ushimitsudoki: how do i open the compiz settings manager? [04:30] iratik: it should be under System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effect Settings (if you have the compiz settings package installed - I don't think it is installed by default) [04:30] Can someone help me? I want to list only the files not directories , how can I do that using ls.. or some other command?? [04:31] KlrSpz: You can override the setting of variables like $Conf{XferMethod} in each hosts config file. [04:31] How can i stop keyboard lag its making it impossible to type with repeat keys and impossible to play any games.I can ussualyyyyyyyyyy finish typing a word before it shows up.<- see what i mean about the repeat keys just one tap. [04:31] If both Ubuntu and Windows are installed on a second hard drive(the first hard drive is unallocated at the moment), and Windows is not on the GRUB list, how do I add it? Its partition is hd(0,0) [04:31] ushimitsudoki: what is the name of the compiz settings package [04:31] hmm, anyone know how i can take a bunch of setup files and make a disk image, then burn it in ubuntu? using dvds? [04:31] stroyan: well i'm config'ing from the cgi gui [04:31] iratik: um, i think compizconfig-settings-manager? (not sure about that) [04:31] xeom: System > Preferences > Keyboard [04:32] thanks [04:32] Hello. Anybody knows how to install Firefox 3b2 on Ubuntu 7.10 on x86-64 _AND_ get flash support? [04:33] stroyan: ahhhh.. i just found it... nm [04:33] KlrSpz: As far as I can tell some of the host setup must be done by editing config files as text. There is documentation on it in the left margin of the GUI. [04:33] Trogdor i know but that lag contiues and i need to use repeat keys its a problem with the timing of the keyboard [04:34] ushimitsudoki: where do you configure window decorations in compizconfig settings manager? [04:34] xeom: On that configuration window ("Keyboard Preferences"), there should be an option for Repeat Keys Delay, and you should set it to Long [04:34] iratik: it is under the "Effects" section and is called "Window Decoration" [04:35] lol i got a new laptop 2 hours ago with vista and now im a happy buntu user [04:35] my ubuntu just crashed (required a hard reset), and now gnome has gone colour-crazy; http://img516.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotubuntuforumsmhq2.png [04:35] xeom: or at least, longer than it is now [04:35] hmm, i removed compiz and now i have no window manager :S [04:35] whenever any text moves in a window (nautilus, firefox, xchat), fonts screw up and the background (if not already black) becomes black (like in the screenshot) [04:35] Troogdor i know about it. Still doesnt not fix the lag issue. For instance when im playing a game i will keep moving in the same direction or take to long to jump even with repeat keys on [04:35] any ideas? and, even better, a solution? :) [04:36] stroyan: you pick the host at the top, i didn't see it [04:36] anyway, i'm out for the night.. thanks [04:36] xeom: Elaborate the phrase "Even with repeat keys on" [04:36] weasel: still here? [04:36] KlrSpz: Oh. that "Edit config" under a particular hosts home page does seem to have all the variables per host. [04:36] Can you view flash movies on YouTube full screen on Ubuntu like you can in Windows? [04:37] so i have a new raid 1 set, just mounted it, cant write to it. anyone know what to do> [04:37] hey all, i cant see videos on youtube, i could but then ff asked me to update and now it doesnt work, someone here pointed me to a wiki but it isnt really applicable, i tried reinstalling gnash but it still doesnt work, any ideas? [04:37] Pidgin 2.2.1 doesnt have webcam feature? [04:37] MrPiracy, it does not [04:37] levander, in firefox you can, it pops up a window and you just maximize that [04:37] sorry trogdor3634 that was ment to say off i keep moving in games in the same direction or jumping to late even with repeat keys off. Its some kind of keyboard lag [04:37] guess not [04:38] I can't log in to Ubuntu... my desktop never loads [04:38] it just gives me a little X as a cursur [04:38] Dezine: I see a window pop up in the lower left, but it just disappears on me, even if I move fast enough to get the mouse over it before it disappears. [04:38] *curser [04:38] Hm, it did that for me but the second try worked. [04:38] I need a little help with GRUB I think I almost got it just need someone to look at something. Anyone with knowledge of GRUB? [04:39] anyone here know a bit about how raid works with ubuntu? I have some questions. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:39] xeom: Do you have any Keyboard Accessibility Preferences set? [04:40] tantric132, i'm no expert but i'll look at it [04:41] does anyone here use cedega? [04:41] eck090: just ask your question :) [04:41] I'm having some graphics issues in Hardy Heron with the Radeon Mobility 9100IGP chipset. I've already put the Options "AGPMode" "4" in place in the xorg configuration, but that still gives graphic garbage on boot. Does anyone know of an additional fix or a bug that I might contribute to? [04:41] no thoughts on my problem, then? [04:41] sn00zer, http://pastebin.com/d26786c8d this is my fdisk -l and this is what i have added to the end of /boot/grub/menu.lst http://pastebin.com/d1e7d7dde [04:41] I'm not new to Ubuntu, I know that when one process is using a sound device, another cannot. However, is it possible to bend this? I'm using a USB headset, and would like to use it in both Skype and Firefox/Media Programs at the same time. Possible? [04:42] Anyone know if kile runs ok under gnome? [04:42] UbunLin: hardy at #ubuntu+1 [04:42] Was wondering if anybody used it because i have a game installed on my windows drive but i want to port it into cedega without installing from the cd's again [04:42] if that was possible [04:42] sn00zer, I'm thinking that if I replace /dev/sda1 with /dev/sda it will fix it? bc /dev/sda1 is the name of the partition but /dev/sda is the name of this disk [04:42] *tries again a bit more orderly* I just logged out of Ubuntu, and when I tried to log back in it wouldn't load my desktop (only gave me an X as my curser)... this is kinda urgent,,, can anyone help? [04:42] Dezine: I figured it out. I had to turn off Compiz. [04:42] Oh [04:42] yeah [04:43] Glad you got it, I was going to try other browserts [04:43] Hammer89: no message of any kind? [04:43] ushimitsudoki: no [04:43] everyone ignore my previous question [04:43] ushimitsudoki: just a black screen [04:43] ushimitsudoki: The room seems to be a bit dead. [04:43] what is the page on dell to build a laptop with ubuntu? [04:43] everyone i try to build has windows [04:43] any know how to start xchat automatically when logon, but only the tray icon or minimized [04:43] ? [04:44] go to ubuntu.com tantric123, they have the ubuntu models listed [04:44] UbunLin: Well, it's the room for Hardy *shrug* [04:44] wobblywu: do you know any program that does it? [04:44] ? [04:44] tantric132: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs is a good place to start. [04:44] or http://www.ubuntu.com/dell/ [04:44] Hammer89: Use to get to the text console. Then you can log in and poke around the log files and ps output. [04:45] Hammer89: what about getting a command line first? Did you try that? Then try to start gdm from there [04:45] Hammer89: yes, what stroyan says [04:45] ushimitsudoki: what command would I use to start GDM? [04:45] Anyone: Any response to my former? [04:45] Hammer89: /etc/init.d/gdm start [04:45] okay [04:46] tantric132, i think it needs the partition info have you tried it as is? [04:46] **gone** [04:46] what do you guys use for vm applications for gutsy ? [04:46] Hammer89: Since gdm is already running you would use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:46] hello all! [04:46] wassa: I usually use qemu/kvm, although I've tried xen and virtualbox before === Frogzoo_ is now known as frogzoo [04:46] apparently the vmware player does not work on i386 machines [04:46] I am about to give up on linux [04:47] ushimitsudoki: Is there another place to ask besides ubuntuforums.org and the #ubuntu+1 room? [04:47] I'm not new to Ubuntu, I know that when one process is using a sound device, another cannot. However, is it possible to bend this? I'm using a USB headset, and would like to use it in both Skype and Firefox/Media Programs at the same time. Possible? [04:47] UbunLin: launchpad.net I would think... you could search for an existing bug or start a new one [04:47] I would just trace the process, but tracing X.. heh.. that is a bit more than I want to bite off unless I absolutely have to. [04:47] ushimitsudoki: I've searched that and the lists. I would like to avoid opening a new bug about this if at all possible. [04:47] hello [04:48] goodbye [04:48] irc.freenode.net [04:48] anyone know why i cant watch flash videos? [04:48] flash isnt installed foso [04:48] Starnestommy were you able to install xp as a layer? [04:49] anyone know of a troubleshooter for connecting ubuntu to the internet through a router? [04:49] somebody to new your? [04:49] the forums are absolutely no help [04:49] wassa: I've never tried to, but one of my friends was able to do it in qemu or kvm [04:49] somebody to new york? [04:49] i run mine through a router with a windows machine as well SASQUATCH [04:49] G_Benson could you explain? [04:50] qemu does not show up when I search for add remove applications [04:50] yeah i tried that the xp can connect but the ubuntu machine cannot [04:50] wassa: use System > Administration > Synaptic [04:50] you need to install firefox [04:50] oh ok [04:50] firefox's flash plugin* [04:50] I have a problem with what I assume is fonts [04:50] G_Benson where can i get that? [04:50] #bookz [04:50] hi [04:51] if your processor supports it kvm is faster then qemu [04:51] does the ubuntu machine dual boot w/ windows SASQUATCH? [04:51] SASQUATCH: have you verified basic network connectivity? pinged the router etc? are you obtaining settings via DHCP? [04:51] When I'm at the login screen, the font is giant size [04:51] google it foso [04:51] like 72 point [04:51] SASQUATCH: Is the network wired or wireless? Can you get to other systems inside the router? [04:51] the router sees the ubuntu machine, but ubuntu doesn't connect. [04:51] hello [04:51] imfrom mexico [04:51] imfrom america [04:51] yeah i tried the pppoeconf command and it doesn't find a connection [04:51] R/bye [04:51] somebody wants to make an interchange cultural? [04:52] Anyone have a solution? Fonts too big at login screen>? [04:52] oh and i tried to ping the router, to no avail... [04:52] I'm not new to Ubuntu, I know that when one process is using a sound device, another cannot. However, is it possible to bend this? I'm using a USB headset, and would like to use it in both Skype and Firefox/Media Programs at the same time. Possible? [04:52] SASQUATCH: pppoeconf is not neccessary if you're networked to a router - this router connects to the device that connects to the net or is itself the modem? [04:52] ? [04:52] SASQUATCH: if you are connecting to a router you don't use ppp, you need to set up a lan, on eth0 or eth1 normally [04:52] Okay... restarted my computer and I'm back in Ubuntu.... but things aren't drawing properly (graphics are kinda screwed up)... and it's running _really_ sluggishly and unstable... anyone have any idea what could be wrong? this is getting pretty urgent [04:53] Redrose: I have seen that with Intel graphics. Once you log in you could use xdpyinfo to see if the resolution is reported as crazy values. [04:53] somebody wants to make an interchange cultural? [04:53] I have ubuntu installed inside a Virtual PC, recent updates have left me with no network connectivity. Forum thread is at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=695144 wondering if any could help. [04:53] Redrose: i had the opposite problem, my fonts were too small. i fixed the problem by forcing the dpi of the nvidia driver in xorg to 96 dpi [04:53] do i need all the other qemu stuff or just qemu/kvm ? [04:53] Hammer89: incorrect gfx driver? [04:53] NigelS_: it was working for quite a while before today [04:53] my router connects to a dsl modem [04:53] Hammer89: what did you change? [04:53] Are there any sed masters in here? [04:54] SASQUATCH: then you are just doing normal tcp/ip from ubuntu box --> router in which case you dont need to fiddle with ppoeconf [04:54] where on the disk does ubuntu place the swap file? [04:54] Hammer89: nothing I can think of... other than some updates in synaptic (including kernel updates) [04:54] SASQUATCH: your router is using DHCP to provide settings to clients? [04:54] b4l74z4r: on a separate parition [04:54] Yes, I have intel. I did xdpyinfo, but nothing looks out of the blue [04:54] tantric132, did it work? [04:54] b4l74z4r: In the swap partition. [04:54] yeah i think it is, however i must confess i am really ignorant when it comes to networking [04:54] hi i got a problm with my pc, specificaly my ram [04:54] where are screenshots saved in gutsy? i can't seem to find them [04:54] wassa: just kvm/qemu then you have to modprobe the kvm modules and it should work, you might have to reboot after you install it [04:55] ive got a laptop with an internal 512Mb ram [04:55] chaosrl: usually on your desktop [04:55] i know, but is it the swap partition placed at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the disk? [04:55] i recently added 1Gb to my xternal slot for the ram [04:55] sn00zer, no and I'm getting frustrating. Going on two hours now XD. Can you explain why on http://pastebin.com/d26786c8d next to the /dev/sda1 it has a * under boot? [04:55] Redrose: It should have a xdpyinfo line something like "resolution: 98x98 dots per inch" when broken the values are very different. [04:55] I need sed to replace any new lines with two quotation marks and a new line. Can anyone help me with what command I should give sed? [04:55] travisat ... how do i access the gui? I assume there is a gui? [04:55] tantric132, that means its a bootable partition [04:55] works good, until it crashes [04:56] any x-chat scripters on that could help me figure out how to get scripts to work? [04:56] 112x968 [04:56] it only happens when i got the ram on [04:56] wassa: no gui to my knowledge [04:56] jeffMASTERflex: i can't find them on my desktop, in my home folder, or in my pictures folder. is there anywhere else? [04:56] fucccccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [04:56] SASQUATCH: if you click on your network icon and check setings or go to system settings and chenk networking - how is the card setup? [04:56] virtualbox-ose has a gui, wassa [04:56] SASQUATCH: have you used the cmdline at all? [04:56] tantric132, what exactly is your problem? can boot into linux but not windows? [04:56] sn00zer, ok so any ideas? I've tried everything. hd(0,0) isn't right, becuase the first 0 represents the disk? and the second represents the partition? [04:56] wassa: oh come on its really easy to use from cmd line [04:56] chaosrl: if you use the "take a screenshot" tool rom accessories, it tells you where it is saving the picture after you take the screenshot [04:56] i've used the cmd line in as much as i tried things that were suggested from forum posts, with little luck [04:56] hey all, my flash problems were solved by deleting gnash and restarting firefox in case someone else has the same issue later [04:56] so do i need to do the sudo qemu ? [04:57] wassa: huh? [04:57] sn00zer, it all started when Windows disapeared off of the GRUB menu when I started my computerm, so i'm attempting to add it back so I can load into windows [04:57] *repeats* restarted my computer and I'm back in Ubuntu.... but things aren't drawing properly (graphics are kinda screwed up)... and it's running _really_ sluggishly and unstable... anyone have any idea what could be wrong? this is getting pretty urgent [04:57] tantric132: because that is the boot drive [04:57] jeffMASTERflex: that's what i was afraid of. i'm using it and it's just making the "busy" mouse pointer for a few seconds, and goes away. it did used to ask me, but not anymore. [04:57] is there a tool I can run to help fix it? right now the DPI is 112x968 [04:57] i installed both kvm and qemu ... but i don't see how to access or start them?? === rahal_ is now known as rahal [04:57] wassa: I suggest you look on the ubuntu forums for kvm/qemu how to [04:57] ok [04:57] back to the forums.. [04:57] hammer89: how long has the issue been going on? [04:58] chaosrl: then you have a different issue altogether. if you use compiz you can probably use its screenshot plugin to take a screenshot [04:58] hello, can i set a baud rate in a udev rules file? [04:58] !qemu [04:58] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [04:58] sn00zer, so originally, that last part of my /boot/grub/menu.lst wasn't even there - someone suggested adding it, but what he said to add didn't work so I have been changing things around. [04:58] jeffMASTERflex: ah, i forgot about that. i'll give it a shot. Thanks! [04:58] i have to two ethernet ports on my system, one built into the mobo and another added separately so they are eth0 and eth1 [04:58] wassa: use that but you can replace winxp with other x86 based systems [04:58] when i set them to dhcp in network connections i get no connectivity [04:58] gamerdude: it's been getting buggy for a few days now (where I'd have to log in and out a few times to get it running).... it only got serious today [04:58] SASQUATCH: ok, without knowing what state your network card is in it's quite hard to see what's wrong; but - from a terminal let's first give your card an ip address [04:58] SASQUATCH: what's the IP of your router? [04:59] gamerdude: I installed one update last night... and another tonight [04:59] Redrose: The problem is discussed at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10304 You may be able to correct it by adding a manual "DisplaySize line" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as discussed at the URL. [04:59] my ubuntu just crashed (required a hard reset), and now gnome has gone colour-crazy; http://img516.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotubuntuforumsmhq2.png [04:59] hammer89: do you recall what those updates were? [04:59] whenever any text moves in a window (nautilus, firefox, xchat), fonts screw up and the background (if not already black) becomes black (like in the screenshot) [04:59] any ideas? [04:59] gamerdude: some kernel updates... don't know what they were for other than that... [04:59] ip of router = 192.168.0.1 [04:59] hammer89: and have you changed your hardware at all ie., usb items [04:59] Hey, I'm looking to put a little load monitor in my taskbar at the top, next to where it says my name. Anyone got any ideas? [04:59] tantric132, mine is root (0,0) but you said that didn't work correct? [04:59] gamerdude: I'm using a laptop... no hardware changes at all [04:59] tantric132, mine is root (0,0) but you said that didn't work correct [05:00] Hi there... my TTY's don't work... Nvidia video card, on a laptop, running the newest nvidia drivers installed with the restricted driver manager... === gouki_ is now known as gouki [05:00] hammer89: running 7.10 32bit or 64bit? [05:00] SASQUATCH: ok, so if for this one we try setting: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100 [05:00] tantric132, root (hd0,0) sorry [05:00] gamerdude: 7.10 32bit [05:00] jeffMASTERflex: haha, compiz plugin worked like a charm. you just saved me a TON of trouble, thanks so much! [05:00] SASQUATCH: and then sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 [05:00] chaosrl: no prob. [05:00] sn00zer, i'm not sure. see I'm changing around two different things here. tell me what it says at the very top....# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS [05:00] # on /dev/sda that part [05:01] sn00zer, what is yours on? [05:01] hammer89: are you familiar with the recovery kernel in the boot loader? [05:01] gamerdude: no... [05:01] Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)? [05:01] tantric132, mine is hda1 which translates to hd0,0 [05:01] hammer89: it's not complicated, are you dual booting? [05:01] gamerdude: yes... with vista [05:02] how can i "add "ec_intr=0" to your boot line" [05:02] hammer89: okay, when you boot up you will have an option to choose the recovery kernel [05:02] sn00zer, so what does sda1 translate to? [05:02] tantric132, mine aren't sda drives though, maybe (sd0,0) would do it? [05:02] xeom: You're not allowed to add anything to my boot line, thankyou. [05:02] gamerdude: I have no idea how to use it, though... [05:02] that's actually a good idea sn00zer. one sec [05:02] xeom: You can add it to your own though, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:02] hammer89: k just a sec [05:03] gamerdude: okay [05:03] NigelS, I typed the commands and received no errors, but still no connection [05:03] does anyone use the ubuntu ultimate edition????? [05:03] SASQUATCH: you can't even ping 192.168.0.1? [05:03] quest23: There's only one edition as far as i know [05:04] cafuego: Thanks that was just a copy paste.How can i edit the file i forgot the command [05:04] I suspect this is a play on vistas innumerable versions :) [05:04] sn00zer, no that can't work because I'm looking at a working example off of a website. it's exactly like this: === jose__ is now known as xinx [05:04] sn00zer, # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS [05:04] # on /dev/sda1 [05:04] title Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition [05:04] root (hd0,0) [05:04] savedefault [05:04] makeactive [05:04] there is an ultimate edition that has basically all the kinks worked out..already [05:04] tantric132: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:04] hi guys, does having SSH access means I can also do an rsync? Or do they run on different ports? [05:04] xeom: sudo nano or sudo gedit [05:04] SASQUATCH: perhaps if you paste the output of ifconfig and route to a pastebin [05:04] hi [05:04] Sadly, no Pinging the router gives nothing === PhilKC_ is now known as PhilKC [05:04] cafuego: thanks a bunch [05:05] no worries [05:05] sn00zer, did you get that or do I need to post it on a site [05:05] can someone give me a hand please? with ubuntu I have an issue :[ im new with this OS [05:05] i got it [05:05] xinx: just ask away [05:05] NigelS, sorry i understand ifconfig, but am not sure what you mean by pasting it to a pastebin, i'm not to knowledgable on these sorts of things [05:05] I had windows xp I installed ubuntu and I just made a partition [05:06] I didnt format the drive and I can choose when I boot what OS to use [05:06] xeom: You'll probably want to add it to the line starting with "# kopt=" as well as the actual line with your kenrel, so it will remain after kernel updates. [05:06] sn00zer, http://pastebin.com/d38afd564 [05:06] is not showing and I have many information paperwork and stuff on windows [05:06] pastebin! [05:06] xinx: Did you resize the windows partition? [05:06] I have 250 GB I took only 50 GB of it [05:07] back [05:07] for ubuntu [05:07] xinx: ... and the windows partition is still there? You can boot it ok? [05:07] tantric132: that didn't work for you, the one I put up? [05:07] no is not showing [05:07] windows [05:07] xinx: can you paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to a pastebin? [05:08] SASQUATCH: it's a place to paste content - trouble being if your linux machine isn't online....it sounds like your network interface isn't coming up for some reason [05:08] you know when you boot it shows a selection what to use ubuntu or windows [05:08] and it only go straight to ubuntu [05:08] nickrud, no and i'm still haven problems. I've been working on it ever since you left haha. must have rebooted 10 times. let me show you my current. both my menu.lst and my fdisk and you can see what I need [05:08] hammer89: you have all the latest updates correct? [05:08] do your files show up ???on ubuntu?? [05:08] gamerdude: that I know of... yes [05:08] tantric132: sure, on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [05:09] my files? [05:09] nickrud, this is menu.lst http://pastebin.com/d1e7d7dde and this is fdisk http://pastebin.com/d26786c8d [05:09] Hammer89: so what driver are you currently using for xorg? [05:09] hammer89: okay, so you will have "friendly recovery" when you boot into the new kernel - if you were able to install this OS yourself it will be very straight forward [05:09] the paperwork [05:09] :D [05:09] hi [05:09] to the world of lilpimps [05:09] I cant get access [05:09] gamerdude: ah... okay... I did install it myself [05:09] hammer89: more information can be found here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FriendlyRecovery [05:09] im on ubuntu right now [05:09] nickrud, keep in mind that I have two HDs. the first HD(hd #1) is not formatted yet(gonna use it for storage, its currently unallocated). the second hard drive has ubuntu and windows [05:10] I want to have access to windows too [05:10] NigelS, thanks for your input, I'll keep tinkering. [05:10] tantric132: yeah, I hadn't caught that. [05:10] hammer89: friendly-recovery let's you repair broken aspects of the OS including the kernel itself [05:10] ok, got my display working... next, sound. my problem is that the sound is way way way too low [05:10] I have important stuffs on windows can someone help me please [05:10] gamerdude: okay... I'll take a look at that [05:10] hammer89: i hope that helps ;) [05:10] :/ [05:10] gamerdude: thanks :) [05:10] Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)? [05:10] like even when I turn it up to the max, it's still only about 1/4 as loud as it should be [05:11] xinx:what stuff? [05:11] nickrud, I should have provided that in the first place and I'm sure none of this would have happened haha [05:11] xinx: can you paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to a pastebin? [05:11] I install ubuntu on a partition that I made [05:11] SASQUATCH: if you can rule out a hardware problem, cable problem etc then it should just be a matter of configuring the software - but plainly something is up since obtaining a DHCP lease is automated and should def work out of the box [05:11] xinx: If you need help, you need to help us help you. [05:11] and I cant access to windows back [05:12] xinx: boot a live cd, then u may be able to access the information [05:12] cafuego please can you explain me step by step ... im new with this [05:12] please I will appreciate the help [05:12] Redrose: Right click on the volume icon. Select open volume control. Choose Edit->preferences menu item. Enable all the toggles. Then look for low volume setting on some of the sliders. [05:12] i had the same problem xinx..but i was able to see them even on ubuntu...and i just used ubuntu to open... [05:12] run the command 'sudo fdisk -l' and put the output on a pastebin. Tehn give us the ink. [05:12] link [05:12] ok [05:12] tantric132: show me your entire menu.lst [05:12] one sec [05:13] Im happy Got vmware working..considering ditching virtualbox [05:13] stroyan, Nope, Those have all been turned up [05:13] Disk /dev/sda: 164.6 GB, 164696555520 bytes [05:13] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 20023 cylinders [05:13] Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [05:13] Disk identifier: 0xd583d583 [05:13] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [05:13] /dev/sda1 * 1 6079 48829536 83 Linux [05:13] xinx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:13] nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d6d026f9e [05:13] yea i didn't like virtualbox when i ran it [05:13] Is there an "easy" way to move 32K subdirectories from /subdirectory to /sub/dir/ect/ory/subdirectory [05:14] tantric132: and your ubuntu is booting properly, yes? [05:14] correct [05:14] all three options [05:14] virtualbox..gone [05:14] are [05:14] It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, how do I install an .ebuild? [05:14] sentix: use find [05:15] can i install a non-cups printer in linux? [05:15] h**p://ultimateedition.info/ [05:15] xinx: If that's it, it looks like you wiped windows. [05:15] has anyone else used this edition of ubuntu [05:15] http://pastebin.com/m25bee414 [05:15] omg [05:15] omg omgomgomgomg [05:15] so are there any script kiddies in the house to help with x-chat? [05:15] I cant loose those files [05:15] help me please [05:15] I';m sorry, but it looks like you did. [05:15] quest23: not recommended, it's not official, not supported, and uses the terrible automatix [05:16] frogzoo: something like find -exec mkdir $1[0-2]/$[3-4]/$[5-7] - with criteria and correct syntax that is? [05:16] cafuego: couldn't xinx's windows partition just not be mounted or does fdisk list unmounted partions too. [05:16] thiemster: fdisk reads the partition info off disk. [05:16] gamerdude: try #xchat [05:16] cafuego: oh. ok [05:16] It didnt say anything about format the disk only to select the space [05:17] hum.....ive been using it for a while now...worked for me fine...all the little kinks worked out the box...didnt have to configure or set up nothing [05:17] oh well [05:17] cafuego: are there tools to recover deleted partitions? [05:17] just checking [05:17] and I did it [05:17] starnestommy: yeah i did, it's completely dead there heh [05:17] nickrud, should it be (hd1,1)? Becuase the Ubuntu is (hd1,2) in menu.lst and it is on the same hard drive and is one partition behind the ntfs(xp) [05:17] tantric132: add the lines map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1)(hd0) between the title and root lines in your windows stanza. You have to fool windows into thinking it's running from the first drive [05:17] thiemster: Yes-ish, but I have no experience with them. [05:18] xinx: you could search google for finding tools to recover deleted partions, but they may not work very well [05:18] yeh xinx..there is ways to get those file...unfortunatley i dont know how..dont stress out yet [05:18] i figured with over 1k peeps here someone would be familiar with xchat scripts haha [05:18] tantric132: it's saying it's the 3d partition, sda3 . Grub counts partitions starting at 0 [05:18] omg [05:18] It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, can I install an .ebuild, and if yes, how? [05:18] xinx: I saw one the other day.. and i also think knoppix live boot CD has some good tools on it [05:18] at least the folder mydocuments [05:18] is all I care about the rest its ok [05:18] :S [05:18] Anyone able to help me with a network driver issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=695144 is my thread. [05:18] xinx: is the system just not booting it, not finding the parition or what [05:19] xinx: when you installed linux, did you manually or automatically partition it? [05:19] xinx: linux will have not overwritten ALL data, only some parts. So you may be lucky and able to recovery a fair bit. [05:19] nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d75462d3 anything you see out of the norm? [05:19] badkitty: From what I can tell, there is no Windows partition. [05:19] tantric132: delete the , that was to tell you to put them on new lines ;) [05:19] cafuego: Ohhhh....yah thats not fun.. how did you install ubuntu? [05:19] hahaha mybad [05:20] I put the cd and install it from boot [05:20] hey does anyone here know how to connect and transfer files from hd while on livecd to a windows share ? [05:20] #biblioteca [05:20] nickrud, also look at the on /dev/sda....should it be sda1? [05:20] xsnoopyx: Mount the hd and the windows share, then copy. [05:20] i should have prompt you to choose auto or manual partition [05:20] xsnoopyx: when i use ubuntu live cd, it always has the main hard drive as a drive listed on it [05:20] xinx: Yeah but did you install only to the partition you made for it or did you select guided use entire disk? [05:20] xsnoopyx: it's already mounted [05:21] to share === NastyAccident2 is now known as NastyAccident [05:21] sorry, the hd will mount, but the share will not mount! [05:21] and I took 50 gb I remember [05:21] tantric132: that's only a comment, it has no effect on setup. Any line that starts with a # is a comment [05:21] my TTY's in ubuntu don't work... Nvidia video card, on a laptop, running the newest nvidia drivers installed with the restricted driver manager... [05:21] Don't work = ctrl+alt+F1 drops to a "TTY" which works, but i can't see anything on the screen. I can log in, and run commands, but i'm doing it all blind [05:21] xinx: it looks like you made a 50gb partition at the start of your hd [05:21] xnoopyx: sorry, i don't know too much about windows shares. good luck [05:21] thanks [05:21] yes I [05:21] anyone good with windows shares ? and the livecd? [05:21] It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, can I install an .ebuild, and if yes, how? [05:21] the option was partition from the begining [05:21] duh! i'm an idiot. ok nickrud i'm going to try it. if I don't return with in 5 mins, SUCCESS! if I do, then you know...haha [05:21] xinx: ooh, bad choice [05:22] xinx: which would be where you windows partition was presumably? [05:22] and I noticed that but I didnt know what to choose [05:22] yeh...you should have did a manual....and used up free space... [05:22] omg [05:22] tantric132: don't leave me hanging ;) [05:22] you probly wrote over your windows os [05:22] xinx: Im guessing you installed over your windows partition [05:22] nickrud, thanks for the help! ill be back regardless because I need to ask you of one more simple thing =D [05:22] xinx: if you don't understand something, it's a bad idea to choose to do it - especially if you're worried about losing data [05:22] but it didnt say anything about format the drive [05:22] xinx in that case, your lucky that windows is so bloated, you may be able to recover some of your files [05:22] omg [05:23] xinx: You should have backed the data up on your shiny new drive before you went ahead with the install [05:23] yup [05:23] xinx: I suggest getting a recovery disk somewhere very soon [05:23] well I tried to have ubuntu because of a friend told me is a good OS and to try it also I wanted to learn more about linux [05:23] xinx: you should've used a live cd [05:23] xinx: if you tear up the partition table it will kind of have the effect of losing it even if it doesn't mention the word format [05:23] xinx: And do not install anything else until you get your files recovered as much as you can [05:24] badkitty recovery disk ? [05:24] xinx: It is a great OS, I finally got rid of my dual boot system, and soley use ubuntu now [05:24] hey.. im trying to follow some instructions.. i get this error You do not have enough space in '/dev/shm' for the 384 MB of QEMU virtual RAM. [05:24] To have more space available provided you have enough RAM and swap, do as root: [05:24] umount /dev/shm [05:25] can someone explain what it means [05:25] I can stay on ubuntu as long I can get those files [05:25] are contacts and important data [05:25] like office files [05:25] xinx: Yah you should look into some programs that can do recovery.. your files may not be erased, but the 'pointers' to them are missing.Recovery software digs beyond the pointers and extracts the raw files and lets you recover them [05:25] we feel for you but it doesn't look good...there are tools for data recovery but there's a danger it was already overwritten by the install [05:25] xinx: try http://www.rescubuntu.info/node/1 [05:25] excel word etc,.. [05:26] ok [05:26] thank you ill try that website [05:26] xinx: i saw it on a forum, but haven't used it [05:26] thiemster: hmm sounds interesting i wanna take a peek at that site too [05:27] hello [05:27] i want to create a dual boot, what would be easiest; install windows xp or ubuntu first? [05:27] thiemster: Its a command line interface, maybe he would like a graphical interface [05:27] b4l74z4r: install windows first [05:27] XP first [05:27] how can I use iso files on linux? like on windows? [05:27] XP first for sure [05:27] ok [05:27] !iso [05:27] xinx get a program called gmount-iso [05:27] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [05:27] just make sure you leave room for you linux partisions [05:27] xinx: place it on a cd, then boot off the cd [05:28] like powerIso? [05:28] ok [05:28] xinx: i think there's a tool already installed [05:28] xink: you might also want to take a look at these instructions to confirm wether windows is still there http://jclark.org/weblog/2005/12/23/ubrescue/ [05:28] Anyone know how to use "ifup" to point to a certain network module? [05:28] hi all [05:28] > [05:28] ok [05:28] hi, im new [05:28] xinx: You can do it from command line, but gmount is also a good program to use from graphical interface [05:28] mrb88 network device? [05:28] It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, can I install an .ebuild, and if yes, how? [05:28] xinx: if it's still in tact, those directions will help you recover it [05:28] eth0 should be going to vmxnet [05:28] how can open xp in ubuntu [05:29] badkitty: i think gmount may be part of the website i recommended [05:29] tanubis_ - how would I set that? Security update borked it. [05:29] BagelMaster: no you can't use an ebuild [05:29] badkitty: nevermind, forget that [05:29] ok could someone tell me why a drive keeps getting picked up as a raid device wevery time I reboot? [05:29] im reading [05:29] BagelMaster: the gentoo wiki should have a tar.gz [05:29] ill follow everything as it says [05:29] mrb88 typically I just use ifup / ifdown after using ifconfig to configure how I want it to connect [05:29] has the recent local root exploit in been patched for Ubuntu? [05:29] I usually use wireless though [05:30] tanubiis_ what's ifconfig device [05:30] xinx: worse case scenario you can't recover it - best = you get it all back ;) [05:30] astro76 soldats: Not that I can find :/ http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Lexmark_Printers [05:30] * BagelMaster shudders... Lexmark [05:30] hah [05:30] epson ftw [05:30] hehe [05:30] i think lexmark is completely unsupported in ubuntu right? [05:31] mrb88 it lets you play with how you're connecting that device. if you just hit ifconfig eth0, for example, it shows you the settings you're using [05:31] Yea, that's why you have to go in and do the drivers yourself [05:31] gamerdude: haha that is a pretty wide range of options [05:31] soldats, not completely. Lexmark's Linux support is pretty bad, though [05:31] ahh [05:31] tanubis_ I see - how can I tell what kernel module it's using? [05:31] soldats: lexmark optera are supported but they are very expensive.. the other ones are winprinters [05:31] gamerdude: Thats like... worst case scenario the tumor eats your face and you die.. best case.. it just dissappears [05:31] soldats, buy HP, basically every HP printer works on LInux [05:31] badkitty: lmao sometimes that's how life is [05:32] gamerdude: sadley yes [05:32] mrb88 not sure... what exactly is it you're trying to do with your network connection? [05:32] nickrud, ya there? [05:32] yup [05:33] tanubis_ Somehow my network got messed up with the kernel update. Trying to set it back to what it should be. Not sure how. [05:33] tanubis_ I made a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=695144 [05:33] hey guys, is the sqlite3 package in the repos compiled with threadsafe? [05:33] squidly: The kernel can autodetect a RAID superblock on a device. You might be able to stop that with the mdadm command and --zero-superblock. Be careful where you point that thing. ;-) [05:33] Error 11: Unrecognized device string. let me get what is currently in there pasted and ill send you link [05:33] mrb88 reading it now [05:33] BagelMaster: sorry if i booted into my gentoo i think i could have got the source for it [05:33] badkitty: at least now he's got options [05:33] Soldats, Ah, thank you very much. [05:33] stroyan: yea I dont wanna lose the data. If I use fdisk I can sync the disk and get it [05:33] I think I may just do that [05:34] does anyone know if the sqlite3 in the repos are compiled with threadsafe? or if there's any way to find out if it is? [05:34] nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d12785b89 [05:34] *****xinx**** check your pm [05:34] I'm having trouble getting gutsy to update, or install anything. It finds new updates, but when I click install, all it does is search for updates again and asks me if I want to install them. [05:34] gamerdude: very tryue.. i hope he can get his stuff back.. any one who uses windows.. can you please use bartPE and make a disk and use the plugins from runtimesoftware... do yourself a favor! [05:34] and when I try to install something, I get a random error [05:34] BagelMaster: i might be able to do it tomorrow? [05:34] aye true, also easyBCD is a saint [05:35] Xabriel: Is this from the GUI? [05:35] nickrud, should map be between makeactive and chainloader or does that not matter? [05:35] Soldats, no problem [05:35] tantric132: no, that's where it normally goes [05:35] badkitty, yes === saurav is now known as greencookie [05:35] Xabriel: Just for fun, try from the CLI [05:35] nickrud, http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#Windows_on_a_non-first_hard_disk [05:35] iso files can be mounted on usb flash drives? [05:35] or needs to be a cd? [05:35] tanubis_ thoughts? [05:35] Soldats: I'll query you an email address, is that ok? [05:35] mrb88: you want a particular card to always use a particular interface/name? i.e. eth0, eth1? you can set these in /etc/iftab [05:35] badkitty, you'll probably have to walk me through it [05:35] they can be mounted virtually [05:36] Xabriel: No problem open a terminal [05:36] BagelMaster: sure [05:36] NigelS_ Right, it should be eth0. How can I set that? [05:36] mrb88 just running the update to the latest kernel now, watching what it's doing. [05:36] when i use "aptitude search" in command, what does a "v" mean in the left hand column? [05:36] no need to to put on cd [05:36] tantric132: hermanzone has good info, try his [05:36] how do you open new screen with the 'screen' command? [05:36] mrb88: see that file - you select on MAC addr [05:36] badkitty, ok [05:36] greencookie: ctrl-a c [05:36] greencookie: press ctrl-? for full options [05:36] Xabriel: ok now type this: sudo apt-get upgrade [05:37] Xabriel: what does it do? [05:37] NigelS I do not see iftab in /etc/ [05:37] NigelS_: thanks a lot bud [05:37] greencookie: ctrl-a ? that is [05:37] badkitty, hmm, it's saying "must be setuid root" [05:37] yeah I forgot.. I'm trying to go full text [05:37] thnx [05:37] badkitty, it used to ask for my password [05:37] Xabriel: hmm anyone know what that means? [05:37] nickrud, i shall return! one other question, each time I save menu.lst I always run sudo update-grub....should I be doing that? [05:37] Xabriel: you aren't running a root session are you [05:38] NigelS_ - where would it be? I don't see a file called iftab inside /etc/. [05:38] badkitty, no [05:38] welp i'm outta here all - back to my normal server heh tc [05:38] Xabriel: Hmm I dont know offhand what that means [05:38] sudo should cover that....it should still work [05:38] try selecting only one update at a time [05:38] Xabriel: What does ls -l /usr/bin/sudo report? [05:38] Xabriel: Did yu try to reboot (windows fix lol) [05:38] tantric132: not necessary, but since your windows stanza is outside the automagic stuff it has no effect [05:39] badkitty, lol yea [05:39] stroyan: Hey man ;-) [05:39] ubuntu [05:39] haha ok [05:39] brb === tanubis_ is now known as Tanubis [05:39] Xabriel: ^^ what stroyan said, hes smarter than me [05:39] someone URANTIA? [05:40] q paso aqui [05:40] ? [05:40] stroyan, -rwxr-xr-x l [05:40] Xabriel: it should be -rwsr-xr-x === _max is now known as max [05:41] Xabriel: There could be a problem there. :-( You probably need to reboot into recovery mode to fix the permissions. And how did it get that way???? [05:41] In Ubuntu there is no DEB program package 'kernel-source'. Still, can one speak about a 'kernel source' in Ubuntu? (See http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/kernel-source.htm) [05:41] guys look http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4149/screenshotad6.png [05:41] Tanubis I am not yet registered so I can't reply to your PM. [05:41] is on 50 GB I dont see the other 200 gb [05:41] nickrud, i know your getting tired of this but...any last ideas? still unrecognized device string [05:41] mrb88: actually, that's not used any more i think - you can add a rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [05:41] Xabriel: go into recovery mode and do chmod +s /usr/bin/sudo [05:41] stroyan, absolutely no clue, I set this laptop up for a friend a month or two ago [05:41] mrb88: there's prob a nice frontend to this however [05:42] !help [05:42] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [05:42] Xabriel: The ownership on sudo should be root and group root [05:42] starnestommy, ok [05:42] anyone know of a good tutorial on how to use a proxy in firefox.. anyone know anything about TOR? [05:42] mrb88 public then? [05:42] Tanubis - it is not functioning and there's the exclamation point next to the network icon. [05:42] badkitty http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4149/screenshotad6.png [05:42] badkitty: tor is pretty good [05:42] NigelS_ - looking for it, what would I need to change? [05:43] mrb88 is it a wireless device? [05:43] It's a network device that links my virtual ubuntu pc to my host pc [05:43] hello, I just did a system update with the software update tool and when I rebooted it seems like X.org failed to boot properly and I am stuck in low graphics mode. Where can I begin to troubleshoot [05:43] Outside network doesn't even matter at the point of this driver, Tanubis [05:43] tantric132: get out your XP disk, and try to boot windows with that. [05:43] starnestommy, ok, done. Should I reboot an try to update? [05:43] soldats: Is that what tor is used for?? [05:44] mrb88: ah, I thought you were talking about physical hw, not sure its the same thing then - the description of that file is in the udev manpage or you can follow the existing format [05:44] badkitty: or privoxy but if you use tor you should use it with privoxy anyways tor is just an onion router relay and privoxy is the proxy which tor uses [05:44] mrb88 Ok, I just wasn't sure as I thought the same as NigelS_ [05:44] mrb88: that is to say use the MAC addr and give it a name [05:44] what is the dpkg-reconfigure command for X server? [05:44] what exactly is a tor? [05:44] NigelS_ and Tanubis - the module name in the kernel is vmxnet. Not sure how to find its mac address and reset eth0. [05:44] soldats: mmm onions.. I can only imagine what that means lol... [05:44] !xconfig | john [05:44] john: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [05:44] Xabriel: an onion router relay [05:44] NigelS_ and Tanubis - how do I find out what module it's currently using? [05:45] lol [05:45] mrb88: why does that matter? [05:45] thanks astro76 [05:45] hey can someone help me to install that program please ? [05:45] NigelS_ Because it's not working? [05:45] does anyone know of a food terminal besides xterm or terminal the one that comes with gnome? [05:45] soldats: I am seeing a tutorial on how to install them.. is there extra configurations I need to do with all my clients that access the network? [05:45] mrb88: what's running your vitual software? sounds like it could be an issue with that [05:45] lol good* [05:45] soldats, so basically when I use something like torpark, I'm just routing my self through one or more servers? [05:46] ouellettesr: you might have Eterm but im not sure [05:46] mrb88: from your description I thought you had a problem with physical hw not having the desired name [05:46] NigelS_ - It's VMware Workstation 6 [05:46] ouellettesr: So you don't want bananaterm then? [05:46] badkitty: theres pretty good documentation on the TOR site as well as the privoxy site. also they come with a README thats really good for that [05:46] soldats, I mean, is it basically the same thing as using a proxy? [05:46] Xabriel: tor is an anonymising network designed to obfuscate the origins of a request by sending it through multiple encrypted "nodes" [05:47] stroyan, no i dont like bananas [05:47] :P [05:47] how can I tell if a deamon I installed is running? [05:47] so, sort of like going through a proxy, but much more layered and secure [05:47] mrb88: check the help for VMWare 6 I guess - certainly what i've told you is the way to assign a network interface name to a particular card [05:47] NigelS_ - it's not showing up as a network device when I mouse over the network icon, and yet eth0 definitely exists. It's not "up" though [05:47] I'm trying to test the new beta alongside 2.0.0.12 on ubuntu feisty, but the old version starts instead, is there something I need to do? [05:47] Xabriel: tor basically connects you through multiple servers worldwide and when your browser or app reaches the destination it reaches it from the exit node on a tor server [05:48] mrb88 not sure why you're looking for it, but If you use ifconfig eth0 , the MAC address of the device should show up has HWaddr on the first line [05:48] how can I tell what program keeps accessing my hard drive? about once every 2 hours I get a huge amount of access for about 10 secs... [05:48] I'm running /opt/firefox3b3/firefox by the way, not the old executable [05:48] soldats, cool [05:48] Blue_Sassley: You could use ps or pgrep to look for the daemon. [05:49] Xabriel: not really like a proxy no - a proxy doesn't really anonymise any traffic it just gives you an alternative presence, whereas tor completely removes traces of the origins of a request which will just seem to come from an exit node [05:49] nickrud, thanks for the help. I know what I'm going to do! [05:49] tantric132: what's that? [05:49] has anyone installed an lc-3 simulator in gutsy? [05:49] how can i get the output of a command into a txt file, normally i would do "command > out.txt" but i have to kill the process cause it never ends [05:50] nickrud, I'm going to reinstall everything(for the third and final time). http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=46003&highlight=dual+boot+sata [05:50] soldats: I guess I was justing asking the basic question.. I wanted an overall feel for how it works explained in a way I can understand easily ... Is it something i can connect to or not connect to if I want... and of course it wouldn't any impact on local LAN settings right? If I was running say a home web server.. would this need to be turned off? [05:50] ouellettesr: do man cat in a terminal [05:50] mrb88: what's the hardware? should it work in vmware? if so then it ought have loaded the module for it (see lsmod for a list of running modules) - then ifconfig can configure an interface, ifconfig assigns an ip addr [05:50] soldats im not using cat though [05:50] nickrud, but before I do this, I need to print these instructions...except, my printer won't print. it says under printers that its there bbut I don't guess the driver is installed. how do I get the drivers? Its a dell printer/scanner [05:50] starnestommy: code executed without any errors popping up, but I still can't get the updates [05:50] NigelS_ It was working pre-Ubuntu update. The hardware itself is just wired ethernet. The network will show up if I'm connected to the internet or not, the driver is just my connection between the host pc and the virtual PC. It definitely has works. [05:51] badkitty: it depends on how you set it up. for browsing there is a firefox plugin to quicky turn it on or off with the click of a button [05:51] is there away to predeclare a password in a sudo command? [05:51] NigelS_ - it's running my model. [05:51] i.e. sudo gedit : password [05:51] ouellettesr: The 'script' command is amusing. It starts a shell or command an logs all tty output into a file. Just don't cat that file while recording to it. [05:52] soldats: Sweet, so I could have outgoing traffic anonymously and incomming still working with my public IP? [05:52] tantric132: I notice that the map commands are different in comment 2 of that page. Try that first [05:52] anyone? [05:52] NigelS_ - it has my model and 17536 and 0 [05:52] stroyan, i have never used this script command and suggestions for basic usage? [05:52] nickrud, im not doing what I said. that's too much time haha im not reformating everything again for the third time. so what are you suggesting? [05:52] sxealex: you can fiddle with the sudo settings certainly, timeout etc, but "pre-declaring" a pw sort of eliminates the point of one [05:52] NigelS_ - How would I set my network to use that module? [05:53] tantric132: it said to put the map commands after the root (hd1,0) === co_kenter_fs is now known as c0_edan [05:53] how can I fing ubuntu Disk Manager ? [05:53] badkitty: hmm not sure about that. afaik all ougoing can be anonymous. if you decide to do it and there is no documentation on your situation you can always email tor and ask. they might have a forum [05:53] NigelS_: i don t wanna predeclare it I just have a php script i need to run a sudo command [05:53] Is not under system > Administration [05:53] root (hd1,0) [05:53] map (hd0)(hd1) [05:53] map (hd1)(hd0) [05:53] xinx: did the website i recommend work? [05:53] soldats: Thanks for you input! [05:53] like that nickrud? [05:53] yes [05:53] anybody else know how to fix: -rwxr-xr-x l ? [05:53] tantric132: I don't see why that would help, but what the hey? And, I'm gonna remember to keep my nose out of pata/sata stuff until I hear from you what works :) [05:53] badkitty: np [05:53] tantric132: yes [05:53] but I dont know alot about ubuntu === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [05:54] theres some stuffs I need help really [05:54] mrb88: what do you mean by the network will show up if you're connected or not? [05:54] ill be in trouble [05:54] ok...ill return shortly...probably. brb [05:54] xinx: what do u need help with? [05:54] Xabriel: whats the problem [05:54] ouellettesr: I usally start a shell with plain 'script', then run a command and then exit the shell. Just don't forget to exit the shell. You can also use the '-c command' option to run the program you actually want to capture. [05:54] xinx what information do you need to manage on your disk? [05:54] #php-es [05:54] http://jclark.org/weblog/2005/12/23/ubrescue/ [05:54] im following the tutorial to recover [05:54] NigelS_ - It doesn't matter if I'm actually on the internet or not, I'm "networked" from the Ubuntu standpoint as long as the vpc is talking to my host pc, that's the network. Doesn't matter if I'm on the internet or not, doesn't matter if I'm wired or wireless. [05:55] thanks stroyan [05:55] On Step 4 im stuck [05:55] I'm getting: "sudo: must be setuid root" when I try to sudo apt-get upgrade [05:55] ouellettesr: All the output is logged info a 'typescript' file, unless you give more meaningful filename for it to use. [05:55] Theres no Ubuntu Disk Manager here [05:55] hi guys. I'm in a tty. how do I scroll up? page up and dwn dont work [05:55] xinx: it seems that this tutorial is different from your situation. i thought you had already installed ubuntu over windows [05:55] NigelS_ - can you join a room I make so I can post something the configuration program said to do at one point? It's a few lines. [05:55] yes [05:55] is over windows [05:56] ouellettesr: If you do start script and 'cat typescript' it will recurse, showing output again and again. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [05:56] can you send me the link again please? im so confused [05:56] xinx are you just trying to get information off a drive that had windows on it? [05:56] ok [05:56] how do I clear apt's cache? [05:56] yes [05:56] like all the packages that apt has downloaded and unpackaged [05:56] Tanubis [05:56] xinx: http://www.rescubuntu.info/node/1 [05:56] soldats: I'm getting: "sudo: must be setuid root" when I try to sudo apt-get upgrade [05:56] how do I clear the .deb's apt has downloaded? [05:57] sxealex: then don't ask how to pre-declare - I suspect that you can't do it nope - you'd have to think about running the script itself with root privs [05:57] can anyone tell me how I can scroll when I'm inside a tty? like Ctrl+alt+f1 [05:57] You can scroll in tty? [05:57] xinx just go to the places - computer menu [05:57] xinx you should see a list of all available hardware you can mount [05:57] thiemster I downloaded the program and I burned it on a CD but I dont know how to install this [05:57] tanubis: he already installed ubuntu over windows. he's trying to get the information out from under it [05:57] i want a phpscript to call a bash script with root privs [05:58] mrb88: post on a pastebin [05:58] NigelS_ What's a pastebin? [05:58] pastbin.ca [05:58] mrb88: see the topic [05:58] k [05:58] pastebin.ca [05:58] xinx: it doesn't install, it runs off the cd. u need to reboot your computer and boot it off the cd. [05:58] Discipulus: sudo apt-get clean [05:58] ok [05:58] ok brb [05:58] thiemster windows takes fat32 or NTFS... ubuntu takes ext3.... he reformatted his drive, installed another OS overtop of it, and wants to reclaim data from the old OS? [05:58] NigelS_ - http://pastebin.ca/902154 [05:58] tanubis: yes [05:59] thiemster that's... messy. [05:59] tanubis: it may be possible, as the repartitioning may leave raw files behind [05:59] mrb88: and when you do that, what happens? [05:59] tanubis: and those are what he's looking for [05:59] NigelS_ - Nothing! [05:59] thiemster hmm [05:59] NigelS_ - What should that be doing? [05:59] brb [05:59] restarting [05:59] Tanubis: strictly speaking I think he formatted the first 50gb of his drive [05:59] tanubis: i recommended he use a recovery live cd (i saw one at http://www.rescubuntu.info/node/1) and he's trying it now [06:00] NigelS_: which is where his windows partition had been [06:00] thiemster: yes, though not necessarily all of the files that he wants [06:00] Yeah... he's definately not going to be able to use that tutorial he linked me to though. That's for recovering data from an unbootable but intact NTFS partition using a liveCD. [06:00] NigelS_yes, i sort of get it [06:00] depending on the degree of fragmentation etc [06:00] tanubis: i tried to tell him that [06:00] tanubis: i'm not sure if he got it [06:01] Hi, I just installed 7.10 Desktop, and it didn't autodetect the speaker/headphone output on my laptop, how can i fix this? [06:01] I don't think he understood anything ppl told him tbh [06:01] Xabriel: What does ls -l /usr/bin/sudo show now? The file needs to be owned by root as well as being mode -rwsr-xr-x . [06:01] [06:01] well, he's really new [06:01] NigelS_ - what should those commands be doing? [06:01] he didn't see "format" at the installer for ubuntu, so he didn't think installing ubuntu could wipe out windows [06:01] mrb88: it brings the net interface down, unloads the modules, then reloads one of them, then brings the interface back up [06:02] NigelS_ - how would it know what to set eth0 as? [06:02] stroyan: -rwsr-sr-x l 91776 date/time [06:03] NigelS_ - also, in lsmod, would having 0 as what it's "being used" for be meaningful? [06:03] mrb88: eth0 is just the name of an interface, if there is only 1 card then it will get that - though as I say udev manages assignments in /etc/udev/rules.d/ [06:03] <_Oz_> Hi, Ubuntu friends! [06:03] hi [06:03] Hello. A bit of an odd question but I would appreciate any help: I have a USB soundcard which Ubuntu will play sounds through, but when I run JACK Audio Connection Kit, it plays the sound from the onboard soundcard. So, I disabled the onboard soundcard and now Ubuntu has an X over the sound icon. The sound plays through the USB card but when I start Jack, it won't even start up. Can anyone give me any suggestions? [06:03] mrb88: the number indicates the number of other modules that are dependent upon it iirc [06:04] mrb88: e.g. a usb driver tha has multiple usb devices relying upon it [06:04] wonder if you could use ddrescue after doing something like that [06:04] <_Oz_> Got a REALLY strange one. I bet you've never heard of this one before. I have an old dell desktop, a celeron 2.4ghz with 1gb RAM. The DVD drive will NOT recognize an ubuntu disc on startup, but it WILL recognize a vista disc (which is what is presently installed.) BOTH DISCS were created by the SAME BURNER. And to be sure, I burned a new Ubuntu disc. It reads fine in other machines and drives, just not that ONE DRIVE on the vista machin [06:04] <_Oz_> e. Any ideas? [06:04] NigelS_ Ah ok. So no way to tell if it's being used? [06:04] Xabriel: if is root then you are fine. Otherwise you need to go back to booting in recovery mode and do chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo and chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo . I wonder how many other files had their permissions changed? [06:05] stroyan: I'll try that [06:05] stroyan, hopefully not many :/ [06:05] NigelS_ Really just trying to see if it's using pcnet32 or vmxnet [06:05] mrb88: what do you mean by being used - if the module is loaded it's loaded - you can check logs like /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog for any output there - but otherwise, use lsmod to make sure the modules you need are loaded and make sure that the interface as acquired an address and is up using ifconfig [06:06] mrb88: which is loaded? [06:07] NigelS_ It keeps loading both pcnet32 -and- vmxnet [06:07] NigelS_ Both are loaded. [06:08] NigelS_ - When clicking the network icon next to the time, it says no network device is found. [06:08] would the fact that i don't have a kernel installed cause lilo to not install correctly ? [06:09] Hi, I just installed 7.10 Desktop, and it didn't autodetect the speaker/headphone output on my laptop, how can i fix this? [06:09] <_Oz_> roentgen... interesting nickname. [06:10] Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)? [06:11] Hi, I just upgraded the motherboard in one of my Ubuntu systems and now have no networking. [06:11] does ubuntu have support for ipods? [06:12] danielski_pl, yes, it's quite wonderful actually [06:12] stroyan, woohoo! you win ten thousand internets! it worked, I'm so glad I'm not gonna have to re-install everything :D [06:12] NigelS_: do you know if xinx ever got the information back? [06:12] do i need to install anything to port movies and stuff over? [06:12] mrb88: I see what you mean - sounds like a problem with the virtual server, if you edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases you could create an alias - you can also add an entry to blacklist to prevent the wrong driver from loading [06:12] nickrud, you there? [06:12] chubs_ : do i need to install anything to port movies and stuff over? [06:13] danielski_pl: if you're referring to copying movies and songs from your ipod to your computer, gtkpod will do nicely [06:13] can anyone say to in which rep are iwl3945 or ipw3945? [06:13] Xabriel: You really should look around for file permissions next. If sudo was clobbered many others probably were as well. [06:13] I'm prepping for my first Linux installation (besides DSL) and I don't have a clue where to start. I don't need any data saved off the HDD, and I don't want to keep the existing Windows installation [06:13] chubs_: im mean other way around [06:13] danielski_pl: and you can also use gtkpod to transfer to the ipod, but i prefer amarok [06:13] NigelS_ - how do I add it to the blacklist and an alias for it? [06:14] joequincy: then it's easy, download the desktop install cd, boot it and install, select use whole disk when it asks [06:14] In the Synaptic Package Manager what's the difference between Removal and Complete Removal ? [06:14] danielski_pl: there are quite a few programs for it, rhythmbox comes preinstalled and i believe that works too [06:14] joequincy: Just download the Ubuntu iso and burn it. Boot from CD and follow the installation. The install is really straight forward. Even my wife could do it! [06:14] Damn it! Sun bought virtualbox http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/12/sun_innotek_virtualization/ [06:14] chubs_: ok thanx [06:14] Discipulus purging the config files [06:14] stroyan, how do you mean? [06:15] alka_trash, that's a bad thing why? === rahal_ is now known as rahal [06:15] I think I'm gonna rephrase, I just replaced a damaged motherboard in one of my Ubuntu systems and now have no networking. What do I need to do to reset the settings and get my new integrated card working? [06:15] thanks @emory and astro76. I'm just trying to cover my bases before I start. I just finished burning the disc, so here goes (on the other machine) [06:16] Discipulus: They will probably make it use Java [06:16] !wifi | emory [06:16] emory: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:16] joequincy: Good luck and I think you'll enjoy it, I've tried everything from SuSE to Mandrake and Red Hat and just LOVE Ubuntu [06:16] Xabriel: There should be many suid programs in /usr/bin. You may need to fix many more. [06:16] Hello all.. I've been looking around and have failed to find what I am looking for.. is there an open source alternative to adobe flash? [06:16] Agent_bob: its not wireless... anywhere else I can look? [06:16] NigelS - btw what is YaST and how does it relate to networking? [06:17] Discipulus: It hopefully won't be bad, but I haven't really been impressed with SUN [06:17] emory page still might help [06:17] NigelS_ - btw what is YaST and how does it relate to networking? [06:17] NigelS_: for future refrence this is what i wanted to do echo "password123456" | sudo -S whoami [06:17] stroyan: how do I check them? [06:17] whoami is just an example [06:18] how do I log into a different SSH port than the default 22 from terminal? something like ssh ip_addie:port (doesnt work [06:18] in all honesty, it's just going to be a web browsing/printing computer (maybe my sis will use OOo)... but I'm psyched to give it a shot. I've been a Windows guy since... well, DOS... and I'm stuck on a mac right now *barf* [06:18] thanks though [06:18] * sxealex smiles [06:18] emory lspci | grep -i network or lshw -C Network either might reviel the card/chip [06:18] bummer [06:18] thanks anyway [06:18] mrb88: I think the problem might be that you have an older install of vmware? possibly it made changes that aren't recognised - do you have a modprobe.conf? yast is a suse tool called yet another setup tool - I can't think why you'd use it [06:19] NigelS_ - I have the most up to date version. A forum thread recommended using YaST to examine the things. Is there an equivalent in ubuntu? Where is modprobe.conf? [06:19] Xabriel: You could compare them to a known good system. Unfortunately apt doesn't have a permissions tester like rpm or other packaging tools do. [06:19] sxealex: sure, -S is right there in the man page, presumed you'd checked it [06:19] <_Oz_> Hi, Ubuntu friends! [06:19] mrb88: /etc/ [06:19] Any pyflag users here? [06:19] yea i didnt know how to pass in a password [06:20] how do I log into a different SSH port than the default 22 from terminal? something like ssh ip_addie:port (doesnt work [06:20] but got it now [06:20] zzzzzz [06:20] pavs: -p [06:20] nigels thanks [06:20] NigelS_ - No file called modprobe.conf, but if I open up the modprobe directory, there's a vmware-tools file in there that I can open [06:21] one more quick q: the previous owner kinda deleted the Windows partition, so the entire disk is unpartitioned space. Will I need to partition it first? [06:21] NigelS_ - install pcnet32 /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install vmxnet; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcnet32 $CMDLINE_OPTS [06:21] mrb88: what I'm getting at is that vmware may need an alias to load the correct driver - but this is really a vmware issue [06:21] NigelS_ Not sure why this problem is cropping up now. It was working perfectly before the update. [06:21] * jgeeky says greetings all [06:21] joequincy no. [06:21] NigelS_ - how would I make that kind of alias? [06:22] joequincy: the installed includes a partitioner if that's what you're up to :) [06:22] installer* [06:22] anyone know if there's a way to allow all addresses by default in tinyproxy? [06:22] how do i know how many files I recovered with this program? [06:22] can i use everything thats compitable for windows xp in ubuntu .. like games or programs? [06:22] mrb88: presumably a file was overwritten - have you run the vmware setup since the update? [06:22] NigelS_ Yes, didn't help. [06:22] amin1: not everything no [06:22] gemes? [06:23] amin1: but there are good analogs available [06:23] games* [06:23] !wine | amin1 [06:23] amin1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [06:23] amin1: some games using wine [06:23] analogs..im not fimiliar [06:23] hmm. The screen has gone completely blank on the machine, and won't turn back on. It was working a second ago. [06:23] amin1: there are better or as good as equivalents [06:23] !AppDB [06:23] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [06:23] ooh [06:23] ooooh [06:23] Tanubis [06:23] thanks mrb88 :) [06:24] xinx yes? [06:24] i didnt know we had an appdb :) [06:24] how do I know how many files I recovered with the program [06:24] I ran it [06:24] now? [06:24] !AppDB [06:24] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [06:24] xinx which program did you run? [06:24] rescubuntu [06:24] 7.04 [06:25] Quick question.. I am just learning how to use pgp. I had created a first key but made a new one and deleted the old one. Now however when I try to attach signature, it is attempting to load the old key, how do I fix this? [06:25] does anyone else run amarok on ubuntu with windows samba shares as there storage? [06:25] GPG [06:25] clarification: it was working, then I chose "Start or Install Ubuntu" and it started a progress bar animation (along with the general sounds that accompany a working computer) then after about two minutes, the screen turned off and activity sounds died. It will not resume. [06:25] i'm running gigabyte network and amarok is heaps slow. it was fine until the last update (a while ago now) [06:26] How high can the load be until the system becomes unstable? It's between 10 and 13 now... [06:26] amorok often hangs now [06:26] patogen, it depends on the processor [06:27] trance_techau, i have similar issues, it hogs the cpu on track changes, i think its related to the cover manager but i don't know how to fix it [06:27] patogen: the system won't necessarily become unstable though it may not respond to requests very quickly...only problem with stability is if it overheats :P [06:27] i want to play the game halo that i hav already install before i install ubuntu but it says.....cannot find 'Z:\home\aminpro\config.txt' [06:27] Tanubis it should be inside a folder or something? [06:27] trance_techau: You big into trance? MSG if yo are [06:27] yeah that might be true...hmm i'll look into it tonight [06:27] trance_techau, it is alittle better since i disabled last.fm, magnatune, moodbar, and stopped my scripts [06:28] jgeeky : Did you get an answer on your tinyproxy issue? [06:28] speeddemon8803: Core 2 duo [06:28] i want to play the game halo that i hav already install before i install ubuntu but it says.....cannot find 'Z:\home\aminpro\config.txt' ..... should i reinstall the game ??? [06:28] is bash.bashrc the file for global aliases? [06:28] so if it's not to hot it probably won't do anything if it's like this for a couple of hours more? [06:28] amin1: follow the guide on winehq [06:28] morning all! i have the problem that i cant resize windows anymore as soon as i use compiz, what could be the reason for that? [06:28] i will try [06:28] ok i'll try tonight. it used to be ok. haven't added that many more tunes. but when upgraded about 2 mths ago it started happening [06:28] amin1 z: ??? [06:28] amin1: you will prob need to install in linux again in order to create registry keys etc [06:29] how do i transfer movies to ipod, gtkpod wont detect ipod [06:29] amin1 did you make id dir named Z: ? [06:29] Hey max you there? [06:29] Agent_bob: that's just the wine drive mapping i assumed [06:30] Does anyone know what x86 means when it comes to hardware? [06:30] NigelS_ could be i guess. i thought wine defaulted to a c: mapping [06:30] x86 CPU architecture? [06:30] the, pentium, athlon series of processors jodas - based on x86 architecture developed by intel [06:30] jodas: it means a pc of 286/386/486 or some sort of pentium [06:30] jodas: means not 64 bit but 32 [06:30] /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt speaks about an 'Extended_Filesystem' and an 'Second Extended Filesystem'. What is the difference between these two terms? [06:31] I reenabled the onboard sound in the BIOS and now the the startup sound plays through the onboard soundcard, most everything else plays through the USB drive except for JACK which plays through the onboard sound. Anyone have an idea of what could cause this? [06:31] So it will only work with X86 type computers correct? [06:31] if you are downloading a program that says that correct? [06:31] jodas: correct [06:31] i have the problem that i cant resize windows anymore as soon as i use compiz, what could be the reason for that? [06:31] Agent_bob: for the c: drive yes, but he almost certainly tried to run halo from somewhere else [06:32] fx|RabBit: I haven't seen that problem since the really early stages of compiz [06:32] jodas: precisely that means it does not work on 64 bit architectures [06:32] fx|RabBit: please join #compiz-fusion [06:32] jodas: PPC, Alpha, these are examples of non-x86 [06:32] i hav go to the website http://appdb.winehq.org/......but where do i search the data base so i can my game thats in the database? [06:32] NigelS_: hm me neither [06:32] so i can get the compability.. [06:32] fx|RabBit: can you resize by holding alt down? [06:33] credible: aw yeah thx for the hint [06:33] So I guess that I cannot download Microsoft Visual C++ for 32 bit then? [06:33] err, i have a logitech quickcam chat usb and installed camorama, it works and can see from the camera but its all night visionish, EG colors are off, i have decent lighting but it can't see well...how can i fix this?i dont want my reds looking blue and blues looking red and everything else greenish [06:33] NigelS_: nope [06:33] jodas: why would you expect MS VS++ to run in linux? [06:34] jodas: there are linux/ubuntu C++ compilers. [06:34] Well you were the only chatroom that I knew of that had people with some knowledge on computers. [06:34] I have Vista. [06:34] I have had ubuntu before. [06:34] That is why I came here and asked. [06:34] jodas: it works a little differently and microsoft stuff wont compile right for ubuntu [06:35] I know that. [06:35] jodas: you are asking in the right place! [06:35] jodas: but your question was about linux not about a general issue...I mean you get why Wine is needed yes? it implements windows libraries in linux [06:35] NigelS_ - Thanks for your help. Probably going to have to reinstall ubuntu [06:35] jodas: try ##windows [06:35] Ok. [06:35] mrb88: if you google it looks like several ppl have this problem, try setting an alias for eth0 in the aliases file, it can't hurt [06:35] theres a database of wine supported programs [06:36] jodas: I dont know much about wine. why do you want to program for windows under it, rather than in your vista boot? [06:36] not every program is supported [06:36] how do i transfer movies to ipod, gtkpod wont detect ipod [06:36] Hello.... I've been having major problems getting ubuntu to log in (the desktop wouldn't ever show up... and when it did it was almost too unstable to use)... I've finally gotten to the point where it's "usable" (but compiz still isn't working... pop-up menus are occasionally scrambled... windows move sluggishly and leave artifacts, etc)... anyone know what could be wrong? [06:36] kk night [06:36] Visual Studio will work in Vista on either a 64bit or 32bit. Microsoft actually managed to think of that in advance. The DL installer detects your architecture and installs the correct components for your system [06:37] I do not have a double boot. [06:37] jodas: i sent you a private message. can you see it? [06:37] I have only vista. I just came here because one of my friends comes here because he has ubuntu and I used but he knows more about software then I do. [06:37] so what is the question that you wanted to ask? [06:37] what is the command line to edit reps? [06:38] josas: see my response [06:38] danielski_pl: they're listed in /etc/apt/sources.list [06:38] No. [06:38] Where is it? [06:38] nigels : thanx [06:38] Does anyone know why an empty .xsession file in my home directory will keep me from being able to login? [06:39] ./n/n_v14: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [06:39] danielski_pl, you need to sudo [06:39] jodas: right above where you said you don't have a double boot [06:39] jodas: you might have a flashing menu at the top or bottom, depending on what client you are using for the chat [06:39] COuld anyone tell me what this command is meant to do ? git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine [06:39] No I do not see it. [06:40] Filled-Void: it grabs the code repository for the inw project in git format === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [06:40] Filled-Void: wine project even [06:40] NigelS_, thank you [06:40] Anyone has installed Tomcat in Ubuntu... [06:40] XCHAT. [06:40] jodas: ok. so you do not have only vista? and want to use visual C++ natively in vista, or with wine for some reason? [06:41] I am trying to recompile my kernel and get the following error. Any Suggestions? http://rafb.net/p/N5EcpE76.html [06:41] jodas: xchat should have my name in the bar on the left.. click that [06:41] **tries once more... this is pretty urgent** Hello.... I've been having major problems getting ubuntu to log in (the desktop wouldn't ever show up... and when it did it was almost too unstable to use)... I've finally gotten to the point where it's "usable" (but compiz still isn't working... pop-up menus are occasionally scrambled... windows move sluggishly and leave artifacts, etc)... anyone know what could be wrong? === ce_emo_blood_und is now known as ce_cute [06:41] i guess you should check your video driver? :/ [06:41] Okay, so this installation isn't happening... it keeps failing with some error about "network bus" (I can't get all of it, it disappears after about half a second) [06:42] how do i transfer movies to ipod, gtkpod wont detect ipod [06:42] warriorforgod: you need the ncurses dev library to build the interface [06:43] NigelS_: libncurses-dev? [06:43] warriorforgod: should be the one [06:43] can I change the firefox menu font size? I can only get the setting for the page content font size but not the menu font size [06:43] Hammer89: dont use compiz til you are stable with gnome or xcfe [06:44] It didn't pop up for some reason. [06:44] Hammer89: what make card do you have? [06:44] Bugger [06:44] When I try to send and E-Mail I get "relay not permitted" how do I fix this. I'm using Thunderbird and my ISP it AAPT Internet [06:44] um... somehow my graphics drivers got disabled O_o [06:45] Hammer89: then that fixes it?

Only thing I've found is asking for new address returns: NO DHCPOFFERS recieved. But the only thing google turns up is "you don't have a dhcp server" which I do so... any other suggestions? I would really appreciate [06:52] aswd: try skyviewcafe.com. it's an astronomy site.

[06:54] ubuntu 7.10 log outs frequently === DarkKnight is now known as CarpeNoctem [06:54] Filled-Void: first you need to download an app called "scrot" its a cli screenshot app. then you need to do a command like "scrot 'imagename.png' -d 5". but the tricky part is you need to get to the login prompt then do ctrl+alt+F2 to get a terminal then login in there first then run the command. right after you run it quickly press ctrl+alt+f7 and after a few seconds it should have done it [06:55] rich1, 2.0.0.12 [06:55] soldats, Thanks :D Ill try that now [06:56] Filled-Void: the -d 5 part means theres a 5 second delay so you can change the 5 to a 9 if youneed more time [06:56] aswd: ding dang. do you have any ideas? i'm at a loss.

[07:00] aswd: ugghh. how do i copy that? or make the screen stop moving? [07:00] aswd: where should i define it [07:00] rich1, PM [07:00] bijumon, Im sorry Im not quite good at Ubuntu. However are you being set bacl to a command line interface. Cause if so Id check if I had the right drivers installed for the display card. [07:01] Ububegin, for temporary use try --> export JAVA_HOME=path to java, where path to java is the path [07:01] hi === aswd is now known as [chr0n0s] [07:02] <[chr0n0s]> rich1, check PM [07:02] Filled-Void, what is bacl [07:02] bacl=back [07:02] bijumon, back* [07:03] and set = sent* [07:04] aswd: hmm, sorry man..where is the path to java... I thought it was this... "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java" guess i was wrong... tks [07:04] [chr0n0s]: what happened to aswd? i've already tried that. i've loaded the plugin every which way. it works in opera, epiphany, and konqueror but not firefox. [07:04] [chr0n0s]: and what is PM? [07:04] <[chr0n0s]> rich1, i am out of solutions then [07:04] <[chr0n0s]> rich1, PM = private message [07:04] okay... things are running smoothly now... but one major issue: my windows dont have borders... [07:04] bijumon: what sort of things are you doing when it logs out unexpectedly? [07:05] [chr0n0s]: sorry. i'm a noob. how do i check that? [07:05] it looks like emerald themes were screwing me up for some reason [07:05] anyone got any input? [07:05] <[chr0n0s]> rich1, there must be some popup/tab in your client [07:05] jangari, normal browsing, editing text files through ssh connection etc [07:06] Hammer89: you're referring tothe title bar of each window, right? [07:06] Hammer89, I had a problem like that and recall running a command which had the option --replace in it . Unfortunately I dont recall the command :( [07:06] [chr0n0s]: i'm trying to learn the cool stuff. i'm on irc on a terminal. i just figured it out. [07:06] Jangari: yeah... all I have is the content of the window.... no title bars... sides... etc [07:06] 'wondows decoration' then [07:07] s/wondows/windows/ [07:07] ? [07:07] [chr0n0s]: thanks for the help, anyway. i'll keep trying in the morning. [07:07] you run compiz fusion, right? [07:07] right [07:07] it's one of the things in advanced desktop settings [07:07] woah... duh [07:07] thanks man [07:08] for some reason (happened to me too) changing some things removed the windows decoration altogether [07:08] anyway, play around with it [07:08] ubuntu 7.10 log outs frequently [07:08] bijumon-> did you push ctrl-alt-backspace? [07:08] will anyone help me troubleshoot an installation? I'm trying to get the complete error right now... [07:08] Jangari: I got it working... and yeah... I've had to do some major messing with my computer... couldn't even log in before :P [07:09] kahrytan: no [07:09] bijumon: is it really logging out? not just prompting for your pasword? [07:09] jangari: its logging out [07:09] bijumon-> are you running ubuntu in virtual applicate under windows vista?\ [07:09] is it possible to replace the default right click menu on the desktop with the applications menu? [07:09] anyone have any idea why emerald themes would make it so my desktop environment never loads? [07:09] kahrytan : no, native installation [07:09] anything's possible, slate [07:10] or you could just use KDE instead [07:10] is it documented somewhere? [07:10] bijumon-> are you using screenscaver? [07:10] *saver [07:10] or xfce [07:10] slate: if you install fluxbox or enlightenment and use it as your window manager instead of the default (metacity), those two use right click applications menus. you could also just use fluxbox or enlightenment instead of gnome (i'm using fluxbox) [07:11] or xfce [07:11] kahrytan: nothing, its fresh instalation, i have not used any screensaver [07:11] chubs__: xfce does that? [07:11] fresh installs dont auto logout. you did something to change it [07:11] macogw: yes [07:11] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2ngsil3&s=3 I get this error with synaptic [07:12] macogw: at least it did by default on my slackware box [07:12] chubs__: hm ok neat [07:12] chubs__: i havent really used it much. i just remember hating the menu configuration thing for it [07:12] bijumon-> fresh installs dont auto logout. you did something to change it [07:12] macogw: i don't/haven't used it too much, but it's nice for low end machines [07:13] I'm about ready to just reinstall freaking windows. This is the worst installation experience I've ever had [07:13] familyfriendly: have you tried running 'dpkg --configure -a'? [07:13] joequincy: what happened? [07:13] bijumon-> did you install nvidia driver? [07:13] kahrytan: no [07:13] are chr0n0s or aswd still here? [07:14] joequincy: an hour ago I saw you ask 'ok I'm ready how do I start' next thing I know something is tough for the install? [07:14] bijumon-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/121486 [07:14] karlNY: nothing. It shows a progress bar for a while, then ejects the disc. Nothing installs. [07:14] bug 121486 [07:15] joequincy: what hardware? PC? Dell or Generic? Laptop? What install CD you using? [07:15] kahrytan: what is this url [07:15] bijumon-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/121486 [07:16] joequincy: you just keep saying "will anyone help me troubleshoot..." without telling us what's wrong [07:16] Hi, I just installed 7.10 Desktop, and it didn't autodetect the speaker/headphone output on my laptop, how can i fix this? [07:16] karlNY: Dell Inspiron 1100 (about 3 years old). I'm using a disc from the DL .iso (UofU server) [07:16] bijumon-> go there and see if you reproduce the problem wit those steps [07:17] kahrytan: thank you, i will che [07:17] karlNY: just got the .iso about two hours ago, so I know it's current [07:17] macogw: I was saying more before, but nobody was responding, so I kinda gave up [07:18] Anyone know how to install mythtv w/o mythbuntu crap? [07:18] is it the x86 version, joequincy? [07:19] Jangari: yes [07:19] joequincy: laptop ok awesome I use a latitude d620 and got it to work off install CDs [07:19] I am told, by an error message, that I must install libdvdcss v1.2 but when trying to install either of the two, 'libdvdcss' or 'libdvdcss2' aptitude can't find a canditate version.. [07:19] kahrytan: umm do you already have whatever distro you would then be using installed? [07:19] How can I fix this? [07:19] !medibuntu > crox [07:19] CroX: check your PM === neskaya is now known as uh-oh [07:19] joequincy: whats wrong? [07:19] joequincy: what exactly happens? boots into CD, you hit enter, then a progress bar, then reboot? please write as much details as you can [07:20] macogw-> yeah. Mythbuntu is a distro and I dont want xfce crap in the system ( the package installs it) [07:20] macogw: Thanks! I'll check it out. :) [07:20] kahrytan: just get the mythbuntu repository, it'll then let you download whatever you want [07:21] Jangari-> no thanks [07:21] kahrytan: can't you just apt-get install mythtv? [07:21] why not? [07:21] kahrytan: Hey foooo [07:21] what would be the command to mount a ntfs hd as readable as an nfs share? i have at present in the fstab /dev/hda1 /home/ubuntu/lappy ntfs uid=999 gid=999 0 0 [07:22] kahrytan: i just did a simulated install, and i dont see any xfce stuff listed [07:22] and that lets ubuntu read it but get permission denied when i try and mount that nfs [07:22] macogw-> configure it [07:22] kahrytan: i didnt actually install it. i just did simulated to see the full dependency list. this laptop would die if i tried to run mythtv [07:22] kahrytan: what this url tells, I could not undestand [07:23] karlNY: okay, so here's what happens... I boot from CD, and it loads the options screen. I choose the default first option (Start or Install Ubuntu), and it goes to a progress bar. After about two minutes of that, the screen flicks on and off several times, before ending up off, but with the machine running. If I do nothing, it sits there forever. If I tap the power button, the screen flicks... [07:23] cant install breyl have error like this >> c compller cannot excutables? what to do? [07:23] ...on long enough for me to see there's an error message (I'll try to get it in a sec) before ejecting the disc and blanking the screen. At this point nothing happens and I have to hold the power button to turn it off. [07:24] macogw-> mythbuntu control center installs xfce [07:24] kahrytan: why do you need mythbuntu control center? [07:25] hi guys... anyone? pm me please... cant install beryl have error like this >> c compller cannot excutables? what to do? [07:26] jigs: 1) beryl is old, use compiz fusion 2) why are you compiling it? [07:26] jigs: 3) do you have build-essential installed? [07:27] hi, i've a little problem with cpu scaling .. someone is available to help me ? [07:27] Anyone here who uses cod4 on wine? [07:27] Or has patched Wine-git with a patch? [07:27] macogw-> cuz i cant config mythtv on my own [07:28] macogw tnx for replying.. well i dont even an idea that beryl is old. so am going to use compiz instead [07:29] kahrytan: i thought that was what mythcontrols was for? well if you get the deb for mythbuntu-control-center and download just that deb, you can always dpkg -i --force-depends to install it [07:29] #evolution [07:29] kahrytan: it turns the errors about missing dependencie into warnings [07:29] joequincy: I wonder if you can try dumbing-down to a lesser video-resolution [07:29] kirkor: /join [07:30] kahrytan: or --ignore-depends=xfce [07:30] kahrytan: there are a TON of things you can get around if you read the dpkg manpage [07:30] macogw-> The control center does the installs. [07:30] sir where i can find compiz? do i have to install it like beryl? is there available program ready to install? [07:30] macogw-> No commands to enter. it's like synaptic [07:30] hi my server on ubuntu is not playing streams flv on joomla .. can anyone help? [07:31] permissions maby? [07:31] is there a way to re-do the grub boot loader without installing ubuntu again? (I installed ubuntu, then installed suse in a different partition, but the suse bootloader is now the default one, but I like the one that came with ubuntu better) [07:31] kahrytan: well theyre all in the repos. but if you want, do the 2nd thing i said and set it to --ignore-depends= [07:31] karlNY: there's no option that I can find. Also, the error won't show up now... it just tells me to remove the disc, close the tray, and hit "enter". I do so and it turns off, not installed. [07:31] o boy am so noob with this ubuntu system [07:31] jigs: which version of ubuntu are you using? [07:31] jigs: the latest includes compiz fusion [07:31] sir latest sir [07:32] jigs: i'm a woman [07:32] aw [07:32] sorry [07:32] jigs: if you just install compizconfig-settings-manager you'll get access to lots of configuration options for compiz fusion, but compiz itself is already installed on your system [07:33] anyone know why emerald would cause Ubuntu to crash? (e.g., I enable emerald... log out... and I can't login again till I've uninstalled it) [07:33] joequincy: there are options like F2, F3, F4, etc - they show you how to dumb-down the resolution [07:33] jigs: it's in system -> preferences -> appearance, in the desktop effects tab, i believe [07:33] hi, how to get my password from evolution file? [07:33] macogw-> and ill repeat it. THE SOFTWARE DOES THE INSTALL. It is part of the configuration phase. [07:33] macogw: Do you know off-hand how to install some of the non-supported plugins for compiz-fusion? [07:33] joequincy: can you try again - boot into CD menu, hit F1 - F6 to read the help info? [07:33] I'm having printing problems. my printer worked fine for months now it works intermittently. right now its not printing a pdf I want to print but it does print the test page from the printer configuration. So is my problem with cups? [07:34] kahrytan: you can install the control center with --ignore-depends=xfce and the control center will install. then you can go ahead and use it to install the rest of the stuff [07:34] badkitty: you prolly have to find the source and compile it yourself [07:34] So, for some reason, I can't see some videos in firefox. Does anyone else see this video? http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/12/video_open_source_scavenged_hardware_powers_life_sized_747_simulator/ [07:34] karlNY: where's that disk formatting utility that someone mentioned earlier? [07:34] oh, and I should have been more clear... there's only a "VGA" option... nothing else [07:34] badkitty: no, sorry [07:34] joequincy: there HAS to be an option to lower resolution - can be done in the CD-installer's "boot command line" too [07:34] Anyone know what I can do if I cant move my Windows :x . AT first I lost my title bars and then did a ctrl + alt + backspace and got it back but now I cant mvoe my windows although I can max or min it [07:34] installing compizconfig-settings-manager will give you "advances desktop effects settings" in your system > preferences, jigs, which give you much more control over compiz, just be prepared for plenty of bugs [07:34] joequincy: VGA is probably what you want [07:34] badkitty: /msg fusiobot gutsy [07:34] macogw: that's the default [07:34] Filled-Void: tried alt+click-and-drag? [07:35] joequincy: gparted? it will overwrite stuff so don't use it if you are afraid to lose all data. [07:35] Jangari, Doesnt work :( [07:35] kahrytan: maybe i dont understand what you mean. do you install mythbuntu control center then use it and click around to pick what you want? or does it happen during the dpkg configuration stuff? or do they all come in as dependencies? [07:35] karlNY: It was already erased and rewritten several times by the guy who gave it to me. I don't really care. [07:35] Filled-Void: try ALT+SPACEBAR [07:36] Hi I'm having problems connecting to the internet even from the live CD can anyone help? [07:36] karlNY, I can select Move from the menu but I cant actually move it :X [07:36] I have a problem with videos popping up for a split second, then disappearing in firefox. Does anyone else have this issue? Here an example: http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/12/video_open_source_scavenged_hardware_powers_life_sized_747_simulator/ [07:36] kahrytan: brb i gotta get my laundry out [07:37] joequincy: hey man this is a last-ditch-fallback idea -- there's probably a local ubuntu community group in your area - I'm sure if you showed up with the inspiron, they'd have you rocking out in no time. [07:37] bye [07:37] Im using Emerald also . Not sure if thats what is causing this [07:37] yay its working now effect is working but.. something wrong with the windows, no bar.. [07:37] bugger, some wavs missed my mp3ing === kipingor is now known as Qwel [07:38] karlNY: hmm. Don't know anybody here yet... where would Iook online? [07:38] look* [07:38] for a goup* [07:38] jigs, i said beware of bugs [07:38] where can i get a sources.list for gutsy i386 ? [07:38] credible: Maybe I'll wait till they are stable hehe [07:38] restarting lots of times and trying many different things will eventually work [07:39] i'm having that missing indexes problem, been having it for about a month or so [07:39] karlNY: can Ubuntu use the NTFS file system? [07:39] Can anyone tell me (I am very new) how too specify a directory and file in the Konsole? I have a driver for my soundsystem on my desktop in a file folder named "new Folder" [07:39] gonzoism, it located at /etc/apt/ folder [07:39] cal_: [07:39] oops [07:40] joequincy: yes it can access it, do you mean can it install and run off of it? [07:40] GunbladeIV yeah, i mean that i need a known good one [07:40] badkitty: yes [07:40] I am still Searching for a Cisco GUI that runs on ubuntu.... anyone know of any openSource Cisco GUI's? [07:40] joequincy: to my knowledge no.. what for? [07:40] gonzoism, a gud one? mean a configured one? [07:40] cal_: "cd" will "change directory", so you want "cd ~/Desktop/new\ folder" [07:40] I use / to specify dierctories and subs.. humm let me try. [07:40] GunbladeIV yeah, a default one would be best [07:40] just like old MS dos? [07:41] gonzoism, it actually depends on your location to get the best server for upgrade [07:41] GunbladeIV is yours pretty generic ? [07:41] mm, like unix, [07:41] GunbladeIV i'm in US [07:41] gonzoism, first of all.. you need to open up System>administrator>software sources [07:41] thanks I will try now [07:41] badkitty: well, the disc I DL'd tonight isn't working. Period. I'm thinking of using the XP install disc to reformat the drive and then try installing Ubuntu again [07:41] GunbladeIV done that [07:41] another question... am planning to use this ubuntu to my shop and am just wondering.. how do people can use web cam in my shop using this system? [07:41] gonzoism, then go to server selection and choose others [07:41] GunbladeIV i've been using linux for ten years and ubuntu for at least one. [07:42] GunbladeIV i think i need a new sources.list file. [07:42] alternatively, cal_, not sure if this works with konsole, but you might be able to drag and drop the folder into the konsole window, and it will print out the directory path [07:42] gonzoism, oh i see [07:42] joequincy: Hmm.. do you want windows installed at all ie dualboot? [07:42] gonzoism, :) [07:42] GunbladeIV :) :) so is your sources.list generic ? and US ? [07:42] gonzoism, mine using hong kong mirror [07:42] GunbladeIV ah. [07:43] gonzoism, that's my fastest mirror [07:43] GunbladeIV know where i can get a template ? [07:43] badkitty: nope. Just Ubuntu. It's basically going to be a web portal/printer station (maybe OOo) so I don't want the extra crap from Windows [07:43] joequincy: Plus, what disc did you download and how is it not working... your should get a good copy of an install disc that works [07:43] can anyone help me with problem on ubuntu server? [07:43] gonzoism, which mirror would you like to use? [07:43] badkitty: joequincy can't get his inspiron to load the install CD properly - as soon as he hits enter to install/load the CD, it flashes his monitor .... on/off/on/off and all he can do then is power down and reboot. [07:43] neopsyche: whats up? [07:43] I cant seem to stream data to webpage on my LAMP [07:43] gonzoism, i'll create one for you [07:43] and when you download the iso, joequincy, do an md5 comparison [07:43] badkitty: I agree about joequincy needs a known-good CD [07:44] i have a ntfs partition setup with uid 999 and gid 999 and i'm trying to use nfs on this partition but every time i try and mount the nfs share i get a error saying permission denied from the server [07:44] neopsyche: ok outside my range, sorry [07:44] joequincy: Ok well you COULD use windows to format the partitions.. but really you just need to get a working disc [07:44] macogw: cant stream flv.. not sure if it is a programming error or permissions [07:44] GunbladeIV thanks a lot. [07:44] Hi I'm having problems connecting to the internet even from the live CD can anyone help? [07:44] neopsyche: is it 755? [07:44] hmm ok [07:44] neopsyche: Whats up man [07:44] neopsyche: 755 is usually what you use on the web to be sure it'll work as far as permissions go [07:44] badkitty: im using joomla and embedding flv on my LAMP for localhost streaming but it wont stream? [07:44] gonzoism, i need a mirror.. [07:45] GunbladeIV k [07:45] GunbladeIV archive.canonical.com ? [07:45] neopsyche: I think there is actually a really good media plugin you can use for joomla that should resolve that.. makes adding all media really easy [07:45] gonzoism, okeh then [07:45] gonzoism, 10 second [07:45] gonzoism, 5 min [07:45] keke [07:45] badkitty: im using allvideos plugin [07:46] neopsyche: Ok, is it just not loading at all? [07:46] neopsyche: That is the best plugin Im aware of for that [07:46] all: I got the .iso off the University of Utah server (straight from the Ubuntu.com main page form). I used ImageBurner for OSX to verify the checksum and burn it. It should be fine. The verification utility on the disc doesn't show any errors either. [07:46] joequincy: so what happens, why do you say it doesn't work? [07:47] i'd blame the cd drive [07:47] then i'd blame the communists [07:47] hi [07:47] good afternoon everyone [07:47] neopsyche: Also does the media plugin play other types of media? [07:47] gonzoism, so how am i going to send to you the source.list? [07:47] I have a situation with one of my customer is facing a kernel panic when he boots the system.how can he send those information to me. [07:48] I mean about 10 - 15 lines above the kernel panic line message [07:48] One way is to manually write those information on a piece of paper and then write it in email and send it to through email.I believe there should be some method to capture kernel panic message === _max is now known as max` [07:48] GunbladeIV got apache running ? [07:48] GunbladeIV: Why dont you paste it on pastebin [07:48] gonzoism, yeah.. [07:48] badkitty, yup.. [07:48] badkitty: no .. they all dont want to play.. it just says 'waiting for localhost' in the browser [07:48] badkitty, gud idea [07:48] GunbladeIV url would be cool. wget :) [07:48] gonzoism, my apache cant be accessible from my office.. got firewall.. [07:49] neopsyche: You mind if I take a look or is it only configured for localhost [07:49] gonzoism, i'll paste it in the pastebin then [07:49] GunbladeIV pastebin is cool. or email. [07:50] Is there an article that explains how printing works in ubuntu? [07:50] badkitty: I boot from CD, and it loads the options screen. I choose the default first option (Start or Install Ubuntu), and it goes to a progress bar. After about two minutes of that, the screen flicks on and off several times, before ending up off, but with the machine running. If I do nothing, it sits there forever. If I tap the power button, the screen flicks on long enough for me to see... [07:50] Note: it shows a "Loading Linux kernel" progress bar, which finishes. Then it shows the Ubuntu logo with an orange progress bar, which bounces back and forth for a while... then begins to "progress" from the left to right. When that bar fills, the screen turns off. There isn't any flickering... rather it turns off, then color fades (my bad, I mistook that LCD characteristic for flickering... [07:50] ...there's an error message (I'll try to get it in a sec) before ejecting the disc and blanking the screen. At this point nothing happens and I have to hold the power button to turn it off. [07:50] ...the first time). [07:50] badkitty: unfortuantely it is only on localhost atm [07:51] joequincy: hmm maybe try the alternate install cd [07:51] badkitty: wondering how it can work? [07:51] badkitty: ok, what are you referring to? [07:51] how do you comment out paragraphs at a time? # is for one-liners, i forgot the multi-line one.... [07:51] neopsyche: I've used that plugin before but It has been a while so I would have to get in there to see and remember what to do to get it to work [07:52] how do i remotely wake a display via ssh [07:52] ? [07:52] GunbladeIV :) [07:52] joequincy: There is an alternate install cd you can download that is text based.. you can try that cd.. alot of people seem to be having problems with the regular cd lately [07:52] sn00zer: you talking to me? I use Chatzilla, and it's just a button press. [07:52] GunbladeIV thanks [07:52] gonzoism, i just send you via emel [07:52] hello am back... how to execute windows exe file?

[07:57] badkitty: dont know how to do port forwarding here.. am behind routers [07:57] So my computer runs fine on MS Windows, and when I switched to Linux it runs poorly. The graphics get stupid and it freezes often. I have been trying to figure this out for some time now. Last week I changed to a lower resolution, and while it didn't completely stop acting silly, it got much better. My computer has onboard sis760 graphics. My guess is a driver problem, so I am thinking of getting an nvidia graphics card to hopefully [07:57] gonzoism, np [07:57] wlastik: I just ment a LAN [07:57] multiple routers on isp with no public ip [07:57] neopsyche: Do you have access to the routers?

I'm using the same router to talk to you right now ;) so I kinda feel like its not actually trying to talk to the router... [08:30] emory: yeah...thats what i figured youd say :P [08:31] macogw: You have any other suggestions? This is a new motherboard in an old install, a transplant if you will, you think its possible its still trying to use the old NIC driver? [08:31] emory: i dont know, sorry. the router doesnt by any chance have any mac address filtering or anything set up that youve forgotten about? [08:31] macogw: Only for wireless [08:32] emory: possible, but modprobing sky2 wouldve activated the proper driver [08:32] emory: you could try putting sky2 in /etc/modules then rebooting [08:33] hello [08:33] why i can't get and install frostwire through apt-get ? [08:33] macogw: OK i'll try that. thanks... I have the distinct feeling I'm not done in here yet though! :( [08:34] I just installed frostwire with a deb from the website [08:34] sazel: because its not in the repositories [08:37] I've just made a clean install of 7.10 using and old /home...I have some files that I encrypted using gpg in my old /home and I've forgotten which software to install to set up the old keyring and decrypte the files..any suggestions? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:39] macogw: Wow...

[08:42] Morning folks. I saw somewhere in the docs that there is a version of the ubuntu cd with a text only installer. Where can I download this? I can't see the option in the 'Get Ubuntu' or 'Download' sections of the website. [08:42] Didot, language? [08:42] rich1: i am [08:42] rich1: whats up? [08:43] Indonesian [08:43] !indonesian [08:43] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [08:43] oeb: the Alternate CD is a text-mode installer. the Server CD results in a text-only system when you're done installing [08:43] oeb: the ubuntu server might work [08:43] macogw: cool. i was having trouble with firefox and applets. i made xul.mfasl executable and now they work. is that ok? [08:43] !alternative cd [08:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about alternative cd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:43] rich1: no idea [08:43] rich1: whats that have to do with forum modship? [08:43] which of the 2 ubuntu variants has a smaller hdd requirement? [08:44] macogw: i guess i'm asking too late cause i posted the fix on the forums. [08:44] ubotu:thank [08:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about thank - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:44] Yamato: xubuntu is the lightest weight [08:44] oeb: i have installed ubuntu server, it's text only and you don't really have to install any of the server stuff [08:44] macogw: i don't know. i guess i just thought you guys knew everything. [08:44] hello [08:44] Yamato: a server install would be the smallest, but there'd be no graphical mousey stuff..just command line, and im guessing you dont want that [08:44] k [08:44] Yamato: probably xubuntu [08:44] prince_jammys, macogw, the problem is the live cd, it does not seem to like the fact that I only have 512 ram. I want gnome etc on the final system, I just dont want to have to install from within the live cd. [08:44] rich1: nah we just turn into mods if we're considered helpful and friendly and stuff and are there for a while [08:45] oeb: then use the Alternate [08:45] Yamato: unless you don't even want a gui, in which case ubuntu server [08:45] i do [08:45] i want a more stable alternative to Windows [08:45] that takes a lot less ram [08:45] and hdd space [08:45] macogw: ok. i just hope i didn't post bad advice. [08:46] macogw, that's what I cant find. In the get ubuntu section of the website my only options for desktop is 7.10 and 6.06LTS. is the 6.06 the alt version? [08:46] Yamato: xubuntu is a small desktop (xfce) -- good if you have little ram, just fewer bells and whistles [08:46] doh, just saw it [08:47] i have 1024mb of ram [08:47] and soon 2048 [08:47] i just like having more HDD space avaliable [08:47] oeb: did you get an error about ram? [08:47] I need help to select correct driver for my graphics card (I have nforce based mother board) [08:47] oeb: sometimes the burn speed of the live cd can be an issue, i found [08:47] oeb, http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Ubuntu-Gutsy-Gibbon-Download-27851.html [08:47] prince_jammys, nope, just takes about 30 min to boot and then freezes up. [08:47] oeb, the alternative cd is the one you want [08:48] color test [08:48] oeb: i hate the new website. see the checkbox at the bottom saying "check here if you need the altnernate cd"? click that, i think [08:49] oeb, the link i gave you, has the text based instaler download [08:49] oeb: have had that problem. in addition to what others are saying, i would also try burning the cd at a slower speed if you are using it on the cdrom of a different machine [08:49] Bodsda, thanks, it's on the way down =) [08:49] oeb, cool,.how do you no its freezed? is it just a black screen? [08:49] prince_jammys, ok thanks. I'll try that (I'm burning it from this machine and trying to install it on a laptop) [08:50] oeb, i had probs with the livecd on 2/3 laptops now [08:50] Bodsda, Because it does not do anything excepy give me a creme screen, the HD is going mental, and it stayed like that for an hour. [08:50] hi [08:50] Hi I'm getting crackly audio with mplayer and other media player apps. both with mpeg2's and AVI's. Is it possible I have the wrong codecs installed?

[08:51] i have some trouble with grub [08:51] oeb: good luck. i have been through that. frustrating [08:51] oeb, Gutsy requires 512 mb rAM TO RUN, BUT I THINK THE LIVECD MAY NEED MORE, NOT SURE,oops sorry bout caps,.,.the text installer works brilliantly though [08:51] oebcya [08:51] I need help to select correct driver for my graphics card (I have nforce based mother board) [08:51] after installing it says: GRUB Loading stage1.5. and nothing more [08:52] waini: dual boot?

I try sed "/#/d" file [08:55] haha .. I just installed enlightenment on my vmware server install.. it looks like crap by default [08:55] fanat1k, probably yes [08:55] after reading, that the server version will not work on my system i hvae installed the alternate by reformatting the hole hdd [08:56] waini: don't know the answer, but you can try to repair using "super grub disk" -- google, download and burn live cd [08:56] is the kernel upgrade from today fixing the new found kernel bug? [08:56] it's change the matched lines for \n [08:56] waini, the alternate what? alternate cd for desktop/server ?? [08:56] alternate installation with command-line option [08:57] waini, for what edition desktop or server? [08:57] destop [08:57] waini: or manually edit menu.lst if you know what you're doing, from a live cd that gives you access [08:57] i think so [08:57] waini, so have you installed it or not? [08:57] Bodsda: oh my bad English, u dont understand me :( I need a list of this packages without downloading [08:57] fanat1k, you want to know whats inside the deb files?

[09:00] it's not there, this is not by any means my first compiled [piece of software [09:00] tarelerulz: from command line, mencoder or ffmpeg can do it-- one of the two [09:00] I know the normal tricks [09:00] fanat1k, if its gonna ask you if you want to install something, it will most likely download all nessesary files itself,.,.no? [09:02] alright i'm having a problem. i recently updated to ubuntu 7.10. and for some odd reason i'm connected with an internet connection. but the only software that i'm able to use my connection with is pidgin [09:02] i can't update ubuntu, cant add any software. cant even use firefox [09:03] * Bodsda thinks this channel is oddly quiet today [09:04] tyo [09:04] tyo [09:04] Bodsda, thats how it is hehe :) [09:05] spanther, this place is hardly ever silent,.,.lol.,,.it even has busy hours like a coffee shop,.,.haha [09:06] Bodsda, well another question do you know for what this "Deskbar Applet" is? ^^ [09:06] Bodsda: I've downloaded this packages at another computer and now I want to copy them from it, but I dont now what packages to copy? There are so many packages in var/cache/apt... :( [09:06] !deskbar [09:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about deskbar - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:06] How do I enable dual-head monitors on an ATI Radeon 8500?

It's like a combination of a launcher, a desktop search thing, and some other stuff... there are plugins you can enable to search your del.icio.us links, check the dictionary, etc [09:07] ph0rensic: no that option is disabled in display manager [09:08] xyblor: Ok is your system running the proprietary drivers? [09:08] alright i'm having a problem. i recently updated to ubuntu 7.10. and for some odd reason i'm connected with an internet connection. but the only software that i'm able to use my connection with is pidgin [09:08] blazinfire: u must be having a firewall running... [09:08] Bodsda: maybe there is the way to know what packages are needed for smb&nfs? [09:08] ph0rensic: I'm not sure, I just installed and haven't added anything custom except for updating the packages [09:08] nope no firewall [09:09] blazinfire, the only thing i can think of is all of your programs (except pidgin) are blocking your ip, firewall? or its badly configured network [09:09] lol after typing a bit inside and deleting deskbar crashed XDD [09:09] fanat1k, im not sure, sorry [09:09] lol [09:09] Bodsda: ok, thx... [09:09] np [09:09] xyblor: I have nvidia.. so I would ask someone with an ati card.. I dont want to be responsible for screwing up your display settings ;-) [09:09] spanther: yeah it has a tendency to do that [09:09] ph0rensic: ok thanks anyway [09:10] xyblor: Otherwise Id help u for sh0 [09:10] blazinfire: can you ping a web site? [09:10] ph0rensic: <3 [09:10] well the pc isn't even on a network. ofcourse its this pc that i'm running ubuntu [09:10] haha [09:10] and no. i've tried connecting with a direct ip and tried pinging a site and doesn't work [09:10] ph0rensic, i do have ATI X850XT i would love to install 3D drivers but i have fear that i will kill my system like before yesterday when i tried to install these ATI drivers you can find at "restricted driver management" ^^ [09:10] blazinfire: i'm googling for your problem, haven't found a solution yet [09:10] * Bodsda thinks xyblor & ph0rensic need to o get a room ;~) [09:11] lol i've googled for 2 hours and finally gave up :P [09:11] HAHA. [09:11] blazinfire, you can use pidgin to connect to IM servers, but you can't ping a website? o_O [09:11] blazinfire, can you ping your router? [09:11] are you trying to ping the ip or the hostname [09:12] from what i've read and i'm having the same issue with kubuntu 7.10. this is actually a common problem between the two [09:12] yes. lol thats what weird [09:12] spanther: Cant everyone just buy nvidia already!! [09:12] no router. [09:12] ph0rensic, sorry no :> *gg* [09:12] blazinfire: try "dig AAAA www.kame.net" does it time out? [09:12] blazinfire, thats because kubuntu 7.10 and ubuntu 7.10 are the same [09:12] not on a network [09:12] ph0rensic, give me monneeh !! xD [09:12] well ofcourse [09:12] * Bodsda donates 5 ubuntu pounds to spanther [09:13] lol thx :> [09:13] np [09:13] hai all [09:13] hai [09:13] blazinfire: does "dig A www.kame.net" time out? (as opposed to AAAA) [09:14] yup.... [09:14] i think it might be worth testing an ip. try pinging 64.233.187.99 (google) [09:14] i did that [09:14] oh, hm [09:14] blazinfire, dhcp or static? [09:14] static [09:15] blazinfire, have you got any dns's? [09:15] no [09:15] ph0rensic: no, because i refuse to give up my lovely open-source-driver-using Intel graphics [09:15] blazinfire, then dig wont work,.,.why no dns's? [09:15] blazinfire: from google, lots of people with your problem but they can ping [09:15] is there a program that opens tar.gz file from windows ? [09:15] blazinfire: so something else is up [09:15] prince_jammys, he has no dns's so digg wont work [09:15] hi [09:16] J2RoR: winzip can do it, i think [09:16] hi [09:16] Bodsda, what comp are you running? [09:16] J2RoR, winzip,unrar,7zip [09:16] prince_jammys just curious what was the fix to those probs? [09:16] sx66_eeepc, a black one [09:16] maybe i can come up with something from that [09:16] macogw: Ok well you can keep that on [09:16] blazinfire: something to do with ip6 [09:16] are you overclocking it? [09:17] sx66_eeepc, whats that otta do with you? [09:17] blazinfire: thats why the dig AAA v dig A [09:17] Bodsda, what temp is your cpu? [09:17] blazinfire: but apparently you have a different prob [09:17] yea [09:17] blazinfire, enter a dns in your network manager then try dig [09:17] Bodsda: tried already [09:17] sx66_eeepc, 400 derees,.wtf do you want! [09:17] prince_jammys, he told me he has no dns's [09:18] Bodsda, because I just overclocked it, and stepping the fan... [09:18] the weirdest thing is... i got a freakin dialup pc running next to me. its one i've been working on. and it works just fine running on my network when i have it up [09:18] it even works fine on its dialup [09:18] sx66_eeepc, you overclocked your machine,,.haha, unless you have watercooling your f***ed [09:18] Hi. Whats wrong with: zip -r ./zips/47b2ae5d3aad2/ ./zips/fooUvHW2j.zip ??? I always get NOTHING TO DO error [09:19] There are around 10 files in the folder, all of which I want to compress. [09:19] psykidellic, why not do it through autilus? [09:19] nautilus [09:19] is it normal that the screensaver WebCollage (possible Dutch spelling) shows pictures of naked women? [09:19] Bodsda, it is fine, the temp is around 52c, everything works fine...so far. [09:20] Bodsda, No X on the server :) [09:20] sx66_eeepc, why are you talking to me,. ubuntu problems only,. [09:20] psykidellic, oh, ok,. is zip a valid command? why not use gz? [09:20] psykidellic, tar? [09:21] yes. Zip is valid. Because I have to send the archive to multiple people half of them who are on Windows [09:21] Bodsda, what os do you have on it? 7.10 kills it [09:21] and most of them dont have gz or tar unarchiver [09:21] WinZip is all they have [09:21] psykidelic, zip is to make a zip file, use unzip to extract it [09:21] Panic1, i had to look that one up since it sounds pretty funny [09:21] but [09:21] doesn't kernel -2.6.22-14- has an exploit? [09:21] WebCollage is a program that creates collages out of random images found on the Web. More images are being added to the collage about once a minute, so this page will reload itself periodically. [09:21] psykidellic, the tarbal can be opened and unzipped by any windows zipping prog [09:21] sx66_eeepc, i have 7.10 [09:21] they turned it into a screensaver, so that's why you're seeing it [09:22] m-nagato: i normally wouldn't care, but this is my work 'puter :-) [09:22] compengi: dpkg -l linux-image-* [09:22] compengi: .51, yes. .52, no [09:22] big problem [09:22] Bodsda, if I use gzip then I dont think so...... [09:22] compengi: an update went out yesterday to fix it [09:22] the super grub disks hangs on Loading stage2 [09:22] i would recommend using another screensaver then, since i don't know if there's a way to filter the interweb [09:22] psykidellic, trust me tar.gz can be read by winrar,winzip,7zip and more [09:22] macogw, i see.. because i'm upgrading now and just wondered. thanks [09:23] How do I get two programs to use the same soudcard at the same time? [09:23] help!! [09:23] i have it on random selection... is there away to disable one of those screensavers? [09:23] waini: super grub doesn't work? [09:24] now it's showing hardcore pr0n [09:24] Panic1, cool,.can i have the link? [09:24] yes - it doesnt work [09:24] lol, yeah, why do you want to disable that? [09:24] Panic1, i wish i could help you further. and i can't help but giggle on the inside at the thought XD [09:24] my colleagues are quite sensitive :p [09:24] the same (but now stage2 - not stage1.5.) [09:24] waini: can you get into the system with a live/recovery cd and read the menu.lst file? [09:25] Panic1, why do you have to have this particualr wallpaper? [09:25] i have it on random selection [09:25] Panic1, it looks like the package is kscreensaver-xsavers-webcollage [09:25] prince_jammys, if things are hanging, hows that a menu.list problem? [09:25] you could remove that [09:25] i have a via-embedded-system (c7) - could that be the problem? [09:25] Anybody here running a wrt54gl router with the dd-wrt v.23 sp2 firmware? [09:26] Bodsda: just ideas. had a problem like this once - wrong device id [09:26] Panic1, you can use wallpaper tray,.that you can set to randomly choose a picture in a file [09:26] I'm having trouble installing libapache2-mod-fastcgi using apt-get. I'm told it's "not available, but referred to by another package" (this is on gutsy). Can anyone point me in the right direction? [09:26] m-nagato, i haven't got that package installed [09:26] my menue-.lst is on the way [09:26] bodsda, how do i do that? [09:26] prince_jammys, ok,.,.but if its hung twics with 2 diff things, i would swing more to a corrupt hd --> format->reinstall [09:26] Panic1, synaptic search wallpaper tray [09:27] Hi! When I installed Ubuntu, it set up the screen resolution and such perfectly on my laptop. Now, after playing with different resolutions, it won't let me go back to the best one, and it keeps changing the driver behind my back! Thankful for help! [09:27] bodsda, i was talking about the webcollage screensaver showing explicit content on my work laptop :-) [09:27] Panic1, or sudo apt-get install wallpaper-tray [09:28] would be quite confrontational when giving a presentation :p [09:28] Panic1, where did you get this wallpaper? is it an app? lemme get it and il have a look? [09:29] Panic1, why do you have to have this wallpaper [09:29] it's one of the screensavers [09:29] it gets pictures from the inet [09:29] Problem solved: need to add multiverse in apt/sources.list [09:29] Panic1, then its an app, whats the name of it? is it standard or did you download it? [09:30] Do I need to reinstall Ubuntu?! [09:30] but the inet is stuffed with inet pictures, so from time to time the random screensaver selection treats me with those prons [09:30] it's a standard screensaver [09:30] Panic1, it looks like you can remove /usr/share/applications/screensavers/webcollage.desktop and it should be gone from your list [09:30] how do to make shortcuts in ubuntu? [09:30] Panic1, prons = porns ??? [09:30] yeah :-à) [09:30] Bromskloss: no - you're just gonna have to mess with your xorg.conf [09:30] maybe from xscreensaver-data-extra package? [09:30] gary4gar, right click, make link [09:31] prince_jammys: Aww, but it worked the first time! [09:31] Bromskloss: then there might be a backup in /etc/X11 [09:31] anyone know of a tool that tests a series of source files to see if they contain the GPL notice or not? (bonus points if they add it in if it's not already there) [09:31] Bodsda, it creates link in same folder :S [09:31] hi all, I've got Lenovo N200; and I want to replace FN with CTRL, how do I do that? [09:31] prince_jammys: Ok, but it's still weird that I shouldn't be able to do the trick again. [09:31] Bromskloss: go to /etc/X11 and see if there's a backup xorg.conf with a date when it worked [09:32] Panic1, sorry, i dont know anything about it, if it seects pictures at random, theoretically it has to have search criteria, if you could get to the source, and knew how to proram you miht be able to filter,.,. i cant help im afraid [09:32] bodsda: it's a screensaver in the package xscreensaver-data-extra [09:32] hmmm, ok [09:32] gary4gar, so,. move it? [09:32] Panic1, see my previous suggestion [09:32] is there a package to install kde desktop? [09:32] removing the webcollage.desktop file will remove it from your screensaves list [09:32] Bromskloss: then copy that backup to xorg.conf (in the same folder), and try restarting X [09:32] Aloha: kubuntu-desktop [09:32] thanks, m-nagato [09:32] Ademan, thanks [09:32] Aloha: no problem [09:33] hi, Ubuntu/Gnome does not hibernate my laptop if battery is on critical level, but I have configured that in power manager settings. Why isn't that working? [09:33] prince_jammys: I see a lot of "xorg.conf.1", "xorg.conf.2" etc. Are those the ones I'm looking for? [09:33] I just installed Gutsy on my Dell XPS 1530, and I have some problems with my wireless. I can connect to my network without problems, but after a little while I lose connection, and then I have to reboot before stuff works again [09:33] Bromskloss: yes -- look at the date to get an idea of which to try [09:33] Bodsda, okay [09:34] Bromskloss: those are backups, the one your system uses is plain "xorg.conf". so you can copy a backup (rename it to just xorg.conf) and try it [09:34] any logs that could show me what happened when the wireless went down? [09:34] why don't they put a link to the new flash in backports? why are they waiting for new release? [09:34] prince_jammys: OK. However, all the "backups" seem to be from today. [09:34] Ayabara: /var/log/syslog might help you [09:35] i renamed /usr/share/applications/screensaver/webcollage.desktop to /usr/share/applications/screensaver/webcollage.desktop_filtered, it does the trick :-) [09:35] Bromskloss: and it never worked today? [09:35] Hello again, I need help to determine which graphics driver to install from packet depository since I do have nforce motherboard on my laptop [09:35] Panic1, really? cool well done [09:35] anyone here familiar with gconf-editor?! i'm trying to change my lock-dialog-theme, but the option is greyed out [09:35] Aloha: the one that fixes the broken package? that's in -proposed last i checked [09:35] request_and_convert_scan_results(): card took too much time scanning. Get a better one. [09:35] :-) [09:35] thanks for the assistance, m-nagato and bodsda :-) [09:35] Ademan, hasn't it been that way for quite some time? [09:35] prince_jammys: Yes, it did. I just thought I was looking for the date the file was created. [09:36] Aloha: unfortunately... yes... i got fed up and added proposed, refreshed, upgraded *only* flash, and then removed proposed lol [09:36] here is my menue.lst: http://pastebin.com/m4a09ca48 [09:36] it's really wierd because folks on gnome-look.org don't seem to be having issues, but i don't have an option to change the key [09:36] Hey all, can anyone help me with an Administration dialog problem? I posted on the forum but have had no reply: [09:36] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=693634 [09:36] There's a description and screenshot there [09:36] Ademan, how do you add proposed? [09:36] Bromskloss: with some patience then you can recover it - you really don't need to reinstall. before you start i recommend you copy the whole /etc/X11 folder to your home in case things get messed up [09:37] Aloha: if you go into synaptic, then settings->repositories under the "update" tab there's a checkbox for proposed [09:37] Ademan, thnx! [09:37] waini, ### default grub root device### e.g. groot=(hd0,0)## groot=(hd0,0) are you sure thats the right hd number? [09:38] Aloha: np :-) [09:38] i have only one serial-atta-hdd inside [09:38] Hi [09:38] so it sould be ok [09:38] prince_jammys: Too late! ;-) I just replaced xorg.conf with xorg.conf.1 and rebooted (I saw no difference with just Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). [09:38] gamerdude: where's that key at? [09:38] Bromskloss: any luck? [09:39] Bromskloss, what are you trying to do? [09:39] prince_jammys: It seems so! Thanks a lot. [09:39] Bromskloss: you know those files are readable, so if you know what you changed you can spot it [09:39] which I should take as graphics driver since I got two options Nvidia binary x.org driver and Nvidia binary x.org ("new" driver) [09:39] nickrud: apps -> gnome-screensaver -> lock_dialog_theme [09:39] Furythor, id pick new [09:40] Bromskloss: np. it takes some serious messing up to have to reinstall ubuntu [09:40] hd0 is ok by one s-atta-hdd??? [09:40] gamerdude: is that the only thing greyed out under gnome-screensaver? [09:40] Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)? === JSteven is now known as StevenChow [09:40] rickrud: it's wierd, sometimes value is greyed out, sometimes it's not [09:40] prince_jammys, mine became unfixable after installing 1 package badly [09:40] splashy [09:40] rickrud: but name and type have always been greyed out [09:41] Bodsda: i've messed up mine several times [09:41] gamerdude: for all the items under gnome-screensaver, or only the one key? [09:41] gamerdude, nickrude has an 'n' at the beginning [09:41] prince_jammys: The strange thing is that it works so nicely from install. It chooses the right driver and calls the screen model "Custom 1". But then it won't do that again. [09:41] nickrud: i'm trying to follow the instructions here http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gnome+Lock+Dialog+Silver?content=67776 [09:41] please help me! [09:41] gamerdude: that's fine. I'm wondering if the perms are messed up, that's why I'm asking about the other keys [09:42] prince_jammys: I wonder how I should connect another screen without messing up again. [09:42] Bromskloss: now that you have it working, copy the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.goodbackup or something, in case you change it again [09:42] nickrud: which key would be good to check? any of them? [09:42] gamerdude: any under gnome-screensaver [09:42] hello, I just bought myself a Dell XPS M1330 laptop...and am having problems with the sound card; it only played after volume was > 50% so I updated the alsa drivers (for snd-hda-intel), I rebooted the ubuntu..everything is detected and works fine..but no sound can be heard (nothing at all). I used alsamixer and unmuted everything but still nothing :( does anyone have any idea ? (I kind of miss the 50% bug now..at least I had sound) [09:42] Bromskloss: i have no idea about multiple screens - never done it [09:43] prince_jammys: OK. Thanks again! [09:43] Bodsda: by the way, there's no e at the end, either ;p [09:43] good morning guys :) - since last night that i updated to alsa 0.16 , x server needs to be started manually every time the computer boots . is there a way to do it automatically again ? [09:43] hello [09:43] i have turned hiddenmenue off - but grub hangs before showing me a menu [09:43] nickrud: like if i go to gnome-screenshot and try to change the key border_effect, the name and type are greyed out [09:43] nickrud, hahaha,.,. sorry dude,,. twitchy fingers today,.,.;~) [09:43] i dont have any idea [09:44] Hello, linux newbie here, I have a question... [09:44] shoot [09:44] gamerdude: try sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername .gconf [09:44] Are the latest update, with the linux kernals, for the wmsplice bug? [09:44] *linux headers I mean [09:44] how do I change a machine's IP to be static and not DHCP under ubuntu 7.10? [09:45] nickrud: invalid user ...hmmm [09:45] jam: you would define it in /etc/network/interfaces , man interfaces has the technique [09:45] jam: System -> Administration -> Network [09:45] jam : system > administration > network and then you can change it [09:45] hello :) I am unable to mount or openw ith archive manager some .iso files i get this error CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format ??? this is wierd because i installed from these .iso on windows with no problem :/ any idea ? [09:45] oh damn [09:45] gamerdude: replace yourusername with your actual user name [09:45] jam, in the top right corner theres a network icon, click on it-->network manager-->double click on your type of connection, then remove the roaming mode [09:45] nickrud: yeah i did hence the hmmm heh [09:46] nickrud: oh sec i mispelled it [09:46] Tiven, hey dude, [09:46] nickrud: it doesn't do anything when i type that in [09:46] ah, ok. thanks guys. [09:46] anyone wanna play pokerth with me? [09:46] hey Bodsda :) [09:47] Tiven, hows your mouse? (was it a mouse?) [09:47] nickrud: no error or anything [09:47] gamerdude: you shouldn't get back anything in the terminal when it works correctly. Close gconf-editor, open it and try again [09:48] nickrud: it says this key is not writable [09:48] Bodsda: it lagged yesterday for 1 second but i think that was normal . apart this its okay :) [09:48] nickrud: with an exclamation point [09:49] gamerdude: are you finding this in schema/apps/gnomescreensaver ? [09:49] Tiven, wicked, do you play poker? (pokerTH game) [09:49] i dunno poker ^^ [09:49] nickrud: apps -> gnome-screensaver [09:49] nickrud: lock_dialog_theme [09:49] Tiven, the gambling card ame? [09:49] game [09:49] yes but i dunno how to play it [09:50] Tiven, you should install pokerTH from repo's and practice,.its realy easy [09:50] well [09:50] nickrud: i did try adding my own key which i think made it worse, is there a way to delete the key i made? [09:50] can someone help me out? =\ i [09:50] Bodsda: maybe when i fix my ubuntu i will :(( [09:50] i'm new to linux and its confusing [09:50] come on to pokerstars [09:50] Bodsda: since i updated to latest alsa , im having some problems [09:50] gamerdude: that is very strange, what does ls -l ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver say? It gives back one line [09:51] Tiven, not sure,. i've had no updates,.,.sorry [09:51] gamerdude: right click the key, and select unset [09:51] prince_jammys, on my way [09:51] Bodsda: you play there? [09:51] prince_jammys, no, i thought it was a channel,.,.lol,.,. [09:51] nickrud: yeah i did try unsetting the one i made, but that's only temporary, it will come back when i bring this back up later [09:51] Bodsda: oh [09:52] tyo [09:52] prince_jammys, what is it ? website? [09:52] ok, I've managed to partly solve my problem - if I switch fonts then the Shared Folders dialog renders fine, but if I switch back to Tahoma the text becomes little squares, however all other apps and dialog boxes in Ubuntu work fine with Tahoma, it's just the Shared Folders one? [09:52] nickrud: did you want me to type that in the terminal? [09:52] Bodsda: yeah [09:52] What is a good website to get started on programming for linux (I have no experience at all at this), and what programs would I need to get started? [09:52] gamerdude: it shouldn't be permanent. I've created and deleted keys many times. And yes, type that in a terminal, and paste the one line you get back [09:52] Bodsda: one of the biggest, along with fulltilt, partypoker [09:52] prince_jammys, oh,. not really for me,. fancy a game of pokerTH? [09:52] gamerdude: well, the one long line that is [09:53] Bodsda: partypoker is by far the biggest, but doesnt allow US customers any more [09:53] nickrud: says total 4 [09:53] haha [09:53] Bodsda: I'm poker-ed out today, sorry [09:53] Bodsda: played a lot last night [09:53] prince_jammys, why? [09:53] gamerdude: should have a line like -rw------- 1 rich rich 834 2008-02-13 01:49 %gconf.xml as well [09:53] nickrud: then after that it has my nick twice [09:53] nickrud: yeah it does [09:53] prince_jammys, just for fun,. [09:54] gamerdude: would you kindly show it to me [09:54] nickrud: stragee@garys-ubuntu-desktop:~$ ls -l ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver [09:54] total 4 [09:54] -rw------- 1 stragee stragee 496 2008-02-13 03:10 %gconf.xml [09:54] i know that if ive done some alias it will be gone if i reboot...assuming that im that kind of person that does reboot, how do i make aliases permanent? [09:55] linduxed: stick em in .bashprofile [09:55] prince_jammys: will try [09:56] its not located in home... [09:56] linduxed: or .bashrc, i don't remember [09:56] linduxed, prince_jammys: ~/.bashrc [09:57] soundray: there we go [09:57] nickrud: any thoughts? heeh [09:57] could it be, that my system supports no sata 300 hdd? (for booting) but installation is possible? [09:57] gamerdude: try this: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-screensaver (this will set all the keys to the default) [09:57] linduxed: what are you doing? Just out of interest, just joined [09:58] soundray: isn't there also a .bashprofile? [09:58] how do i install drivers for my modem [09:58] Does anyone have any idea why the terminals that show up when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6 wouldn't be showing up? All I get is a black screen. [09:58] adding aliases, needed to get em permanent instead of resetting every boot [09:58] prince_jammys: some distribution provide a ~/.bash_profile, but mostly it's sourced from .bashrc [09:58] !dialup | rabbis [09:58] rabbis: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [09:58] Bodsda: sorry man, i just spent so many hours playing that i'm not in the mood today [09:58] *distributions [09:59] prince_jammys, ok,.,.lemme no if you change your mind [09:59] hmm.. how about broadband.. is it the same concept? [09:59] prince_jammys: i dont think there is in ubuntu...however i do have memories of mandrake and gentoo using that [09:59] nickrud: naw when i ran sudo gconf-editor after i ran that, my key that i created before was back, and it's still saying "this key is not writable" with an exclamation point [09:59] My Dell has the "Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-PCI Card". Should I install a restricted driver for this? [10:00] gamerdude: doh, do not use sudo gconf-editor, that's your problem. [10:00] Does anyone have any idea why the terminals that show up when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6 wouldn't be showing up? All I get is a black screen. Any suggestions/ideas? [10:00] Hi I want to install Ubuntu from scratch with two hard drives using RAID 1. Any good tutorials for a relative Ubuntu newbie? [10:00] nickrud: i've tried with and without [10:00] gamerdude: sudo writes to your config with root permissions, and then prevents you from making any changes as yourself [10:01] How can i find out what format is a .iso file ? if it's not ISO 9660 format ? [10:01] g[r]eek: my advice would be not to start with a RAID configuration [10:01] nickrud: oh crap, so that would be why my key i created won't go away [10:01] waini: you already ruled out problems of the type hd0 instead of sd0 and such, right? [10:01] soundray: Ok so do I just install Ubuntu Gutsy normally on the one hard drive and then what? [10:01] soundray: Can I just plug in another hard drive and mirror the first? [10:02] nickrud: well i ran without sudo, and now the exclamation point is gone, but the two options i need are still greyed out [10:02] gamerdude: do sudo chown -R stragee:stragee ~/.gconf ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 ~/.gconfd ~/.config ~/.local , log out and back in [10:02] im my menue.lst never was sd0 [10:02] gamerdude: and ~/.gnome2-private . [10:02] g[r]eek: why do you want a RAID 1? [10:03] nickrud: would cntrl-alt-backspace be ok for logging in and out? [10:03] i think my menue.lst is ok [10:03] gamerdude: it works, just be sure all apps are saved and closed first [10:03] waini: i don't know much about this at all, but once i had problems because of hd0,1 instead of hd0,2 --- that type of problem. beyond that i really don't know grub [10:03] I had imported my file from excel.. (containing some old entries) now I have added new numbers and have the autocalculate option on.. I use the sigma function for addition.. Now I am not getting a correct total (It totals only new numbers added) [10:03] soundray: That is besides the point. I don't mean to be rude. Can you recommend a tutorial? [10:04] Following problem: I want to use bug-buddy for my application that come from upstream (not Ubuntu). So I set the gconf-key run_on_crash. /etc/default/apport says "enabled = 1" and I restarted apport with /etc/init.d/apport restart. Anyway, neither bug-buddy nor apport come up when an application crashes. [10:04] super-grub disk failed to show me his menue [10:04] I m on ubuntu 7.10 with OO 2.3.. What should I do? [10:04] nickrud: it's saying that last directory don't exist [10:04] i think my hdd is the problem [10:04] gamerdude: Works okay but last week it rebooted my system instead of logging me out [10:04] anyone please help [10:04] I wouldn't do it again [10:04] and causes a freezed grub [10:04] gamerdude: sorry, that's ~/.gnome2_private , _ not - [10:04] waini, format and reinstall!! [10:05] if thts possible^^ [10:05] g[r]eek: it's bang on the point. If you are a newbie with Ubuntu, you should gather your first experience in a non-RAID configuration. When you're more familiar with the system, then it's time to think about advanced stuff. Learn to walk before you try to run. [10:05] hey guys i have a question about skype [10:05] waini: you have access to the internet? cuz theres some how-tos you can check out [10:05] i just installed it [10:05] @bodsda: i have already done this three times!!! [10:05] !enter | zoidberg_ [10:05] zoidberg_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:06] i have searched google .... - but no solution [10:06] waini, then you have a badly burnt .iso!!! [10:06] soundray: I am a relative newbie. I've been using ubuntu for a while. But I'm not as experienced as some of you guys. I've learnt to walk. I need to run. It is not my intention to justify why I want RAID 1. I've done the research and it is exactly what I need. Please answer my previous questions. [10:06] Hi. I decided to install ubuntu, but I installed a quite old version (5.10). Now I've got the cd to install 7.10, but when I boot my computer en choose the 'install' option it just stops doing anything. What should I do? Help me please! [10:06] <_Lucretia_> i'd like to get a more up to date copy of libmtp on this machine, as I think that may be the problem with my mp3 player not being recognised, how do I go about it?

[10:07] @Bodsda a bad supergrub or ubuntu - iso? [10:07] soundray: Thanks [10:07] Hi. I decided to install ubuntu, but I installed a quite old version (5.10). Now I've got the cd to install 7.10, but when I boot my computer en choose the 'install' option it just stops doing anything. What should I do? Help me please! [10:07] waini, you said both of them froze? then you either have a bad write speed, or a buggered cd drive [10:08] thostyn: check your burn first with the check disk item on the startup menu [10:08] thostyn: have you got enough RAM? [10:08] now super-grub works! [10:08] wtf,.,.lol [10:08] nickrud: name and type are still greyed out [10:08] thostyn: yeah could be RAM issue or cd burn speed sometimes [10:08] because my hdd is out of the system [10:09] nickrud: what's thatt? [10:09] other: don't know about RAM [10:09] waini, whats super-grub? [10:09] Aloha: a grub recovery live cd [10:09] Could be RAM, it's an old PC [10:09] anybody here changed the firmware of a wrt54gl to the DD-Wrt firmware? [10:09] gamerdude: I'm not sure what you did ... Try creating a new user, and changing it there. It may be necessary for you to reset all the keys and start over on this user [10:09] i am trying to setup xen. are the libs coming with ubuntu compatible concerning the 4gb fixup bug? [10:09] prince_jammys, what do you mean by "recovery"? [10:09] thostyn: when you start the cd, it has a choice to check it [10:10] nickrud: hmm, well they were greyed out long before i created my own key heh [10:10] soundray: That fakeRaidHowto is exactly what I wanted. Thanks. Cheers [10:10] thostyn: 256MB can be tight. Look at your boot messages, or open a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and run 'free' [10:10] Aloha: when grub gets corrupted (eg if you reinstall windows in a dual boot machine) [10:10] super grub is a small cd for repairing the grub bootloader [10:10] in skype i do not see a video option....but in camorama i can see my webcam just fine...what can i do to enable my webcam in skype? [10:10] nickrud: would there be a command line that would allow me to change that key? [10:10] with hdd in - now grub hangs [10:10] prince_jammys, so it rewrites the MBR? [10:10] tyy [10:10] Aloha: or not corrupted, but somehow busted ... i don't really know grub but i've used the cd [10:11] gamerdude: try the gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-screensaver I gave you earlier [10:11] Aloha: dunno [10:11] test [10:11] Aloha: i think yes [10:11] nickrud: no errors [10:11] how I do disable compiz, so game performance would be better ? [10:11] nickrud: didn't do anything when i typed that [10:12] zoidberg_: which version of skype do you have? [10:12] is jemand hier der deutsch spricht? [10:12] Aloha: the time i used it actually didn't work - i had to go in with another live cd and edit menu.lst manually [10:12] anny german in here?

Normally when a terminal command is run, no output means successful completion [10:12] oh [10:12] prince_jammys, gotcha [10:12] thx :D:D [10:12] soundray, version 1.4.0.1 [10:12] how I do disable compiz, so game performance would be better ? [10:12] soundray, version 1.4.0.118 [10:12] nickrud: alright, just lettin ya know there were no errors heh [10:12] gamerdude: now, check in gconf-editor again [10:13] zoidberg_: it's too old, it doesn't have video support. [10:13] Furythor: in kde, "kwin --replace", in gnome, probably "metacity --replace" but i aint sure [10:13] nickrud: the only thing i can change is the value of the key [10:13] soundray, which version does? [10:13] gamerdude: that's all you should change [10:14] zoidberg_: the medibuntu repository contains a version 2 which is in beta. I don't know whether that supports video, but it's probably worth having a look [10:15] nickrud: changing the value won't change the theme though which is what i want to do [10:15] soundray, how do i uninstall the old version....the one i have installed right now [10:15] zoidberg_,soundray: Yes the medibuntu repo version has video in it (just checked my skype) [10:15] gamerdude: then there's something wrong with the app, it's supposed to monitor that setting according to standards. you may have to log out and back in. [10:15] miniux, how do i uninstall version 1.4 that is on my computer right now [10:15] hello, me again. I have more questions :P [10:16] zoidberg_; Did you install using a deb package? [10:16] does anyone have experience using VMware for virtualisation? [10:16] nickrud: did you check the page on gnome-look, to see what i'm trying to change? heh [10:16] miniux: thanks! zoidberg_: if you installed a ubuntu package, it should upgrade automatically. [10:17] yup, the theme for the gnome-screensaver. Everything there is pretty standard. I've run across a couple apps with bugs, though. [10:17] nickrud: maybe if you seen the instructions it would make more sence [10:17] nickrud: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gnome+Lock+Dialog+Silver?content=67776 [10:17] !medibuntu | zoidberg_ [10:17] zoidberg_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [10:17] miniux, soundray i installed using the .deb pakcage [10:17] how can i mount .iso files which are not ISO 9660 format ? [10:18] gamerdude: I've got it open already, looked at it the first time. [10:18] zoidberg_: well done. If you want to remove it manually just to be sure, do 'sudo apt-get --purge remove skype' [10:18] zoidberg_:Do what ubotu said but he typed quicker ^^ [10:18] nickrud: ah okay, hmm so yeah i'm guessing they are talking about changing the "name" right? [10:19] gamerdude: no, the value of the key. The name is what the app looks for, so it can find the value you set [10:19] So I just download the firefox3 beta3, does anyone know how to install flash for it? [10:19] on my dell, the only restricted driver in the manager is the nvidia one. if ubuntu hasn't added the intel wireless driver, does that mean I don't need it? [10:19] nickrud: so if i type "silver" in the value, it doesn't do anything [10:20] nickrud: even after rebooting [10:20] Ayabara: the intel wireless driver is not restricted [10:20] Is there anyone here running 7.10 on an ATI FireGL Mobility 5200 with any eyecandy? (Thinkpad T60p) [10:20] zoidberg_, Zoidfarb: you related? ;) [10:21] someone can tell me what the main differences between the normal and the alernate version of the cd iso are? [10:21] soundray, ahh ok. [10:21] there any channel I can go to for support? [10:21] I'm his cousin. (not really, watch Futurama) [10:21] Xompire: this one will be fine [10:21] gamerdude: doesn't work here either [10:21] danisahne; I think the normal loads a live CD and then you install via GUI and the alternate is more text based, someone correct me I'm wrong [10:21] alright thanks soundray [10:22] danisahne; you would use the alternate if your having troubles installing with the regular install cd [10:22] Yo, anyone using VMware for Virtual machines? [10:22] !alternate | danisahne [10:22] well, i'm a total newb to ubuntu/linux, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to install wine [10:22] danisahne: 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 [10:22] Xompire: 'sudo apt-get install wine' [10:22] I've been searching the web for 2 hours can't find anything that works [10:23] gamerdude: you've done all the steps given, there's something wrong with the steps, or the integration. [10:23] k i'll try that [10:23] nickrud: well, i finally got it =) thanks for making me push through haha!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [10:23] gamerdude: what was the last step you took? [10:23] soundray, so there is no restricted driver I should get for my "Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-PCI Card"? I'm grasping for straws... [10:23] nickrud: i need to extract the folder in tact, rather then taking the files out of the folder [10:23] Ayabara: no, there isn't. Intel is good that way, they release free drivers for wireless. [10:23] Ayabra, you might be able to use the windows driver by using ndiswrapper [10:24] gamerdude: ah, so it had nothing to do with gconf-editor. I'd assumed you'd followd the directions ;p [10:24] also, is there any sort of "program files" I'm trying to install a xfire attachment to gaim [10:24] or, you may already be using a free driver [10:24] nickrud: i learned a new command today "nautlus" which made that allot easier hah [10:24] Ayabara: don't know if there is one out for that device yet. Did you buy Ubuntu preinstalled? [10:24] Xompire, program files mostly go in /usr/bin/ [10:24] nickrud: so for taking up so much time :P [10:25] alright [10:25] but any Gaim/pidgin plugins would probably go in the .purple directory [10:25] gamerdude: I've had insomnia tonight, thanks for helping me pass the time [10:25] (purple is the library used by gaim/pidgin) [10:25] I would look up specific instructions before throwing stuff in /usr/bin/ [10:25] !enter | Zoidfarb [10:25] Zoidfarb: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:25] Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)? [10:26] soundray, no. I'm sitting in Norway, and Dell don't offer Ubuntu preinstalled here [10:26] it's almost 3 am, hardly anyone's here. [10:26] nickrud: actually i have a completely different issue that's probably quite a bit harder hah! [10:26] Ayabara, does your wireless not work? [10:27] Zoidfarb, I see my networks and connect to it, but when I try to use it I'm thrown out, and it doesn't reconnect until next boot [10:27] Zoidfarb: are you a little US-centric? [10:27] nickrud: i can't for the life of me figure out how to increase the scroll wheel lines on my mouse, there is no tab for that in system -> preferences -> mouse [10:27] fact: it's 3 am here. fact: this channel is relatively dead (by the standards of this channel) [10:28] really? [10:28] fact: It is also 5am [10:28] is gthere any RSS feed about ubuntu releases or release process? [10:28] Ayabara, I would try using ndiswrapper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NdisWrapper [10:28] Zoidfarb: let's not make this into a lengthy discussion. The fact is, this channel has an etiquette, and it's best to stick to that 24 hours a day. [10:28] hello, i am using ubuntu feisty , how to set firewall to accept all connection . [10:28] gamerdude: I don't think that's implemented yet. === ubuntuu is now known as serqiu [10:29] good mornig [10:29] nickrud: i read on some website that was vague, that it's possible to change that in X, but i don't know where [10:29] How I do disable compiz so that it does not load when I next time start X ? [10:29] Ayabara: if you want to go down the ndiswrapper route, see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [10:29] Furythor: did you try what i said earlier? [10:29] !wifi | Ayabara, see also here if you haven't already [10:29] Ayabara, see also here if you haven't already: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:29] yeah [10:30] soundray, thanks. is there a reason not to go down the route? [10:30] it worked? [10:30] Does anybody know what I have to do to make my system shut down, when I press the power-button on my case? [10:30] but my session went jinxed... [10:30] and now compiz autostarts? [10:30] Is it possible to search the file list of uninstalled packages? I am looking for which package installs /usr/share/sip/qt [10:30] oops [10:30] <^^MAg^^> jhaig: dpkg -S /usr/share/sip/qt [10:30] jhaig; /sip/qt sounds like trolltech qtopia or something [10:30] Ayabara: well, fairly often it doesn't work so well, and you're using a Windows driver in a Linux system, which I find unsatisfying on an intellectual level ;) [10:31] I downloaded wine from there site, i'm guess i got there source code, so I extracted it now what? [10:31] should not read a thing in half counsious state... [10:31] jhaig: you can browse with "sudo aptitude" is one way to view uninstalled packages [10:31] gamerdude: http://linux.die.net/man/4/mouse-driver has all the possible mouse settings, they would go into /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:31] Prince_jammys I did not see what you suggested due my x session jinxed [10:31] soundray, hehe. I would have to agree [10:31] !iptables [10:31] 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). [10:31] nickrud: i'll take a peek thanks [10:32] Furythor: I don't know for sure cuz i use KDE, but i thought "metacity --replace" would do it [10:32] ok, well I would rather use "sure methods" [10:32] Furythor: or graphically you can go to Preferences->Appearance [10:32] is ubuntu feisty by default firewalled [10:33] I guess i should just SPM wine, it would be alot easier [10:33] Ayabara: there are a few hits on the ubuntu forums searching your wireless card model name [10:34] serqiu: by default ubuntu doesn't use a firewall, there are no apps listening to the internet [10:34] is compiz and visual efffects one and same thing, I quess that not [10:34] Furythor: yes they are, as used in ubuntu [10:34] Ayabara: tuxmobil.org is another good place -- it lists installation reports for laptops [10:34] thanks to all - problem solved [10:35] ok, so when I do disable visual effects from system>preferences>appearance it does not use compiz ? [10:35] Furythor: correct [10:35] ok [10:35] since I belive that it prevents running of some games... [10:36] Furythor: it most certainly does :) [10:36] soundray, thanks for digging, I'll look into it [10:36] How much does virtualbox bottleneck you system? [10:36] Hey guys, having a problem with using 'ping www.google.com' on my ubuntu server 7.10 [10:36] Ayabara: good luck [10:36] it returns "unknown host" [10:36] anyways, really really twinky question, since I do have external screen connector in computer, could it be used to "clone" stream out and record it ? [10:37] Webdevotion: can you ping 66.102.9.147 ? [10:37] Webdevotion: ping 208.67.216.231 [10:37] yes i can [10:37] guess problem with dns [10:37] Is it possible to install wine elsewhere than in home directory ? [10:38] is it possible that it depends on my router? [10:38] Webdevotion: yes [10:38] Webdevotion: what's in /etc/resolv.conf ? [10:38] nameserver 192.168.0.1 [10:38] Furythor: the only wine stuff in your home dir is config files and your fake "C:" drive -- you set up your drives anywhere want though [10:39] so, how I do that ? [10:39] Webdevotion: try changing it to 208.67.222.222 , (opendns) as a test [10:39] Furythor: in wine configuration -> drives i think [10:39] ok [10:39] Furythor: you tell it where you want the fake drives to be [10:39] Hi all, I miss the channel :))) [10:39] oh, laptop battery is dieing. Gotta go [10:39] i tried that today (also 4.2.2.2) and am using that dns know also in my router [10:40] ok [10:40] windows and osx boxes work fine [10:40] I will try again [10:40] nickrud: may it charge in peace [10:40] hello [10:40] i've got a problem with pam_mount https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/117736 [10:40] does this bug is still present today [10:40] is there a way to correct it ? [10:41] nickrud: tried it ( just wrote the changes and tried to ping google again ) [10:41] to no avail [10:42] ping: unknown host www.google.com [10:42] anyone else cares to look into my problem?

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).

[10:43] Furythor: i've never moved my c drive though - if you try that you'll have to move all the stuff in ~/.drivec or make a symlink [10:43] hi, i'm trying to compile pidgin, but ./configure gave me this: error: C compiler cannot create executables [10:43] symlink might be a good idea [10:43] soundray: any tips for me than? [10:43] as were to look? vendor foruM? [10:43] Webdevotion: good idea [10:43] tnx [10:44] have a nice day [10:44] threefcata: why not install from ubuntu repositories? [10:44] soundray: is there?

[10:45] Anybody have the DD-Wrt SP2 firmware on hand? [10:45] any idea for my problem ? [10:46] hi [10:46] I compiled imagemagick using the ufficial guide, but when I try to do 'convert'... [10:46] convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagickCore.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [10:46] m4steR: imagemagick is in the repos. Why bother compiling it? [10:47] how can i force update-initramfs to add a module located in /lib/modules/mykernel/ubuntu/... in addition of all the module added by the MODULES=most configuration ? [10:47] MenZa, to learn =) [10:47] and because in the repositories is old [10:48] m4steR: is that lib installed? [10:48] Sp4rKy: have a look at /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [10:48] i have just compiled it, not other [10:48] hi guys, i can't get my cdroms to run at 32bit and dma... any suggestions? [10:48] soundray: i added the module at the end of this file, without any success [10:48] Great, I gotta recharge my wireless mice :C so I will have to do something else for while... [10:49] Sp4rKy: did you sudo update-initramfs ? [10:49] i've tried hdparm and i've tried hdparm.conf [10:49] what is a good dynamic dns client updater for ubuntu? [10:49] prince_jammys, i have to install that lib? [10:49] but i don't know how [10:49] m4steR, so i'm guessing you didn't make install (i think there's a better way to do it in ubuntu but this is the one i know) it or anything? [10:50] soundray: of course, but the module isn't added [10:50] M-Nagato, no...

[10:50] prince_jammys, what? [10:51] m4steR: the lib [10:51] Sp4rKy: have you checked that a) the initrd is really updated in the right place, b) that the initrd line in menu.lst points to it? [10:51] Sp4rKy: just the model name [10:51] *module [10:51] soundray: yes, but the module isn't added [10:52] Sp4rKy: then I don't know, sorry [10:52] soundray: i use update-initramfs with the -v option to get the list of added file === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- [10:52] and nothing about my module :( [10:52] prince_jammys, no, and it is not in the repositories...

Not a bad start. [11:15] I had problem with WiFi after updating though. It didn't find my SSID so I had to manually type it in like I'm connecting to a "hidden" network [11:15] * FiveSheetsOfAcid is away: Mensaessen essen [11:15] hmmm i wonder what they did O.O [11:15] how comes the cmedia sound cards are not working?

[11:22] what is a good dynamic dns client updater for ubuntu? [11:22] !rpm [11:22] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

I haven't tried it. I do my best to find .deb packages. [11:23] how do i reinstall a messed up gnome [11:23] erUSUL: i dont see any other else tab. unless the "download "upload' "event" tab. [11:23] i just want to know how to convert .rpm to .deb [11:23] giovani_h: nopers [11:23] !alien | gnarlyc [11:23] gnarlyc: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [11:23] giovani_h: but i have experienced issues with flash/java since the kernel update today - i can't watch any video's online [11:24] Hello, Im trying to remove firefox 2.0.0.12 (since Im using swiftweasel2 and ff3), but it tells me its going to remove gnome-user-guide, ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-docs and yelp - is it safe to remove it anyway? [11:24] boss: first check to see if there is an exsisting version via synaptic , then if not get the source and build ( not recommended ) [11:24] Anarchist: netstat -putan | grep clientname and see in what ports it has status LISTEN [11:24] gamerdude: youtube doesn't work for you? [11:24] bk [11:24] slart: nope none of them do [11:25] flash player [11:25] install [11:25] i know there is some procedure to convert..does any one know it?? [11:25] :D [11:25] gamerdude: hmm.. odd.. works for me on ubuntu 7.10, 64 bit [11:25] gamerdude: there was a flash update a day or two ago.. sure it wasn't that one that killed your flash? [11:25] 64-bit here as well - but i've talked to a few others that are having similar issues as me [11:25] * dax_roc cries hardy broke my usplash :| [11:25] I need an indepth troubleshooting guide to repositories, can someone send me a link? [11:25] boss: I think you a word there [11:26] slart: well i say it was the kernel update, because i was completely up to date yesterday and was able to watch video's just fine - now after the kernel update like 15min ago i can't watch them [11:26] boss: or you are still talking about rpm to deb? =) [11:26] * erUSUL thinks that dax_roc should spect things to broke on a release that it is not even beta [11:26] ubuntu 32 bit has a flash bug that wont be fixed till the end of time go to the forums theres a fix in there somewhere, i downloaded it before just hard to find [11:26] I did not get a kernel update, what are you using now? [11:27] jgiorgi: the bug is fixed now [11:27] !brokenflash | jgiorgi [11:27] jgiorgi: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » [11:27] gnarlyc: there was a kernel update for the vmsplice but [11:27] Slart: i have got files which are in .rpm form..so i need it [11:27] scratch that but [11:27] * dax_roc knows this but hopes for the best , box was way too unstable / unusable on gutsy :O [11:27] ok [11:27] erUSUL: it appear this -> (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.) [11:27] [11:27] they finally fixed it??? hell must have just froze over lol [11:28] i think no1 knows it [11:28] boss: well.. alien is said to be dangerous.. but it's the only one I know of [11:28] is the standard personal computer 64bit or only the 64bit amd and intel? [11:28] xompire: the regular one is 32-bit [11:28] Anarchist: what is your clientname? what bt client are you using? [11:28] oh snap [11:28] erUSUL: BitTorrent [11:28] boss what are you trying to install , ( not that they dont know it just prob they dont care :P ) [11:28] xompire: 64-bit is becoming standard, but when you go to buy a PC you can still choose 32-bit or 64-bit [11:28] boss: I would think that compiling from source would be better than installing a rpm [11:28] Anyone know if theres a fix for the intel 965 driver bug? [11:29] hi [11:29] i hope hell don't have to free over before commercial game developers start developing for linux === gunblade_ is now known as GunbladeIV [11:30] If anyone here knows... Im trying to remove ff2, and synaptic tells me its going to remove gnome-user-guide, ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-docs and yelp - is it safe to remove it anyway?

Would it be easy to fix the issue or should I try another browser? If so, which browser would you recommend?

[11:53] faemir: are you repairing ntfs part or ubuntu partition? [11:53] gnarlyc, ntfs [11:53] how do I unlock a file which is F_SETLK locked? there is no process running [11:53] right after the boot screen, when its supposed to show the loading screen and launch the Live CD, it shows for a split second a colorfull line, what to me looks like a distorted "loading screen" or something, its only shown very shortly, so im not sure, but nothing happens past that [11:53] faemir: if that's the case then maybe the ntfs is too far gone to be read?

I don't have a blank CD lying around for gparted [11:54] the CD is "working" even while nothing is happening on screen, so i think its something with my video card not being supported or something [11:55] but then again, in a total noob to linux, so dont listen to what i think :P [11:55] roath, by any chance is it a laptop? I have a Toshiba laptop that does that sort of thing, livecd crashes & hangs every time, I used the alternate cd to install and it works perfectly - this was down to the video card [11:55] Hm, it says "this installer requires admin access" thought I was already [11:55] nope, stationary [11:55] sorry roath, not paying attention, are you trying to install 64bit gutsy?

[11:55] yes roath [11:56] ppl, i don't get my suspend working please help me [11:56] yeah, trying to install, but currently at school since i have no way to ask for help at home (since it wont install) [11:56] :) [11:56] what processor are you using roath? [11:57] roath, from my own experiences, that does sound like a graphics problem, i would expect it to install from the alternate cd as that seems to have better detection & configuration - what is your video card? [11:57] dont remember the actual name, but its 64bit dualcore AMD, 3000Mhz (roughly, cant remember if AMD adds a + or something at the end) [11:57] Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS [11:57] ok roath i would then take dgjones ' advice [11:57] PSI Express version [11:58] ok, but there is no way to be sure that it will work with that either, correct? [11:58] roath, i think i have seen some people with problems with the 8800 nvidia though, might be a good idea to ask in here if it does work first [11:58] well, thats what im doing :P [11:58] I can't install the 8800GT driver atm [11:59] keeps saying can't open (driver name) [11:59] <[chr0n0s]> ati x3780 x2 [11:59] roath, if everything is backed up on that pc i'd give it a try the way dgjones said, or you can check out the ubuntu forums real quick [11:59] when I started ubuntu it said that the gnome settings manager have crashed. before the reboot I had enabled backports. could that be the cause? what do I do? [11:59] roath, wouldn't want to say it will work for you, when i thought there were problems that took some getting round [11:59] btw check nzone.com for the latest beta drivers if you have problems with the current ones. [12:00] i have two partitions on my computer, one being my backup/old system and the other is where i want to install ubuntu, it wont mess with the other partition, right? [12:01] no roath, in the worst case senario you can install 32 bit to get the bootloader working, if that attempt messes up [12:01] the other partition will not be affected if you don't tell it to, roath [12:01] well, the 32bit gives tons of errors on the boot screen [12:01] something about the kernel [12:02] ok [12:02] hello , i need a simulation program for electronics engineering [12:03] is there any tool that will automatically open .run files? [12:03] eh, then you could just install it w/out a gui if you had to, there are ways around every error, roath === rekon_ is now known as rekon [12:03] emad, is that just a random windows app?

My cdrom is /dev/hdd and since I attached a second ide harddisk (/dev/hda) Ive got problems with dma. I have to switch on dma for /dev/hdd manualle with hdparm. Where could I configure this? [12:31] Nikolas|: copy the file from your home dir to your apache2 htdoc root [12:31] ic ic [12:31] gl [12:31] cya [12:32] ronald_: hard disks are all Scsi now, /dev/sdX [12:32] where to get ubuntu for mac [12:32] What's easiest: ftp,ssh or scp? [12:32] ikonia: no when I do a fdisk -l I see /dev/hda [12:32] Nikolas|: ssh is scp - depends what you find easy. [12:32] Nikolas|: it's the same box so you can just use regular copy commands. But you have a permissions problem with the directory you're copying to. [12:32] ronald_: all hard disks should be /dev/sd* now [12:32] OK, now that's weird...I *can* drag & drop when I set the mouse to left-handed.

I'm confused [12:36] ikonia: how do i use cp? the files are located in a folder called apache on my desktop and the destination directory is var/www/ [12:37] Nikolas|: use Nautilus if your not comfy using the command line [12:37] Nikolas|, i believe its cp -R /source /destination [12:37] and maybe a sudo in front if you don't have write permission to the dest [12:38] lordleemo>>>i have tryed this prog. in the past and they dont have a strong support for PIC Micro-controllers ,any way a did a serch for tgate circuit simulator but didnt find any thing ...... can u give me a download link or official website [12:38] Nikolas|: what shows when you run ls -l /var/www [12:39] total 4 [12:39] drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-02-12 17:34 apache2-default [12:40] anybody please????? is there anyone who can help me install a printer?

[12:42] hello i have 128mb of of ram i want to install ubuntu is that possible?????/ [12:42] maaike, does it show up as a shared printer to other machines on the lan? If so the gnome printer config tool can configure shared printers. Some print servers share printers in several ways. [12:42] when are ubuntu new versions released is it not every 6 months or something to that extent ? [12:42] emad: your welcome [12:42] ntemis: do you see a hidden .Trash-user on the ntfs? [12:42] headb0y, linux != windows [12:42] on root? [12:42] c:\ ? [12:43] ntemis: On the ntfs where you deleted them [12:43] pls help [12:43] !minimal [12:43] ntemis: they're not going to go in the Windows recycle bin if you delete them in ubuntu [12:43] 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 [12:43] Faust-C: its a 500 gb (real 465 gb) ntfs partitioned drive with one 365 gb file on it [12:43] join /ubuntu-br [12:43] Dr_Willis: I have another laptop but that one uses windows and there the same printer is installed [12:43] no! [12:43] Faust-C: what should i do now?

[12:44] maaike, theres normally an icon in the menus for seting up a printer. Takes me about 20 sec to configure my network printer. I just point it to the shared printer. and select the right driver [12:44] ntemis: no not a bug, you are dealing with a partition from another os. [12:44] maaike, system -> admin -> printing [12:44] yes i have a hidden folder .trash-demetris [12:45] ntemis: check if a Trash: folder was created in your Win partition [12:45] now what? [12:45] thanks [12:45] ntemis: Look inside [12:45] but [12:45] i have one [12:45] Dr_Willis: I looked at that but then the only option is to add a new printer and when I press that I have to choose from a list of several different kind of connections [12:45] maaike, add new printer -> windows printer by samba. [12:45] when i type http://localhost on my browser it opens a save dialog [12:45] Hello, people. Right now i have a bald (done nothing with it) install of Ubuntu. I decided that maybe the reason why everything hoses all the time is because i do something wrong during post-install. But i need good documentation to help me do a good post-install. But where can i find that? [12:45] i want all inside DELETED! [12:45] when are ubuntu new versions released is it not every 6 months or something to that extent ? [12:45] maaike, if windows is seeing the thing.. its shared by samba/smb.. Other ways may work also. [12:45] I DONT USE WINDOWS!!! [12:46] JUST THIS NTFS DISK [12:46] ntemis: do they appear in your normal trash? i think they should [12:46] ntemis: Lose the caps and the attitude === amir_ is now known as amir__ [12:46] Faust-C: http://rafb.net/p/pTTvGn19.html [12:46] * FiveSheetsOfAcid is back (gone 01:30:58) [12:46] am pissed off with windows [12:46] I just installed from the alternate CD, and I appear to have a working installation except for one problem.... I have no output on my monitor. I suspect that the installation process set the default display size to 1280x1024. How can I change this value? [12:46] ntemis: that's a normal emotion [12:46] sorryy [12:46] Dr_Willis: but when I choose that option and scan for printers, it doesn't find anything === amir__ is now known as lousygarua_ [12:46] jimcooncat: when i type http://localhost it opens a save dialogue [12:46] ntemis: we've all been there [12:46] :) [12:47] more relaxed now [12:47] :-( [12:47] to see others suffer like me [12:47] Nikolas|: maybe it's the script you loaded? I wouldn't know [12:47] it's [12:47] index.php [12:47] so now [12:47] maaike, no idea there.. it just scanned my network and saw my shared printer. You could find the printers name as seen by the window machines and enter the url for it manually - in my case its smb://MSHOME/MYTHBOX/HP_LaserJet_6L [12:47] btw [12:48] where is the apache2's htdocs folder? [12:48] joequincy: after it loads use F2 then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa mode 1024 use tab to accept all other defaults to get into basic gui [12:48] i want the .trash-demetris folder to go away and all i delete to go into ubuntu trashbin [12:48] hi, how can i set the default pdf viewer? [12:48] is that possible? [12:48] no [12:48] Dr_Willis: okay, I'm trying that now, but do I just give the printer name or do I type in printserverIP/printername? [12:48] Nikolas|: I believe they don't use htdocs anymore, they changed it to /var/www [12:48] no? [12:48] ntemis: can't you just delete it with rm? [12:48] rm? [12:49] maaike, my example showed the Workgroup/Machinename/Printername [12:49] remove [12:49] ntemis: yes [12:49] tell me how [12:49] maaike, i also noticed that the thing saw my printer under the 'ipp://' type address.. since its on a cups server. [12:49] prince_jammys: even if he deletes it every time he dektes a file on that drive it will come back [12:49] hi everybody! does ubuntu use sysvinit per default or does it use something like initng, einit? it just boots so fast, i wonder why... [12:49] Jack_Sparrow: okay, I'm a total Linux newb... Is that a pair of commands I can type? My screen is essentially off, and I can't turn it on to see what I'm doing... [12:49] i want all the files out off the disk and i will format it ext3 [12:49] !upstart | t|zz [12:49] t|zz: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [12:49] ) [12:49] Jack_Sparrow: not if he deletes them in a console [12:50] ntemis: Please also stop using enter after every word [12:50] Dr_Willis: I'll be right back, I just printed a testpage, let me see if it came out [12:50] Dr_Willis: so this is used by default for 7.10?

[12:53] envy no good [12:53] why ppl [12:53] headb0y, you may want to install/run (with sudo) the ntfs-config tool. [12:53] it works fine [12:53] !worksforme | ntemis [12:53] ntemis: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do.

Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [12:53] It trashes the system when Ubuntu is upgraded [12:54] envy can cause trouble [12:54] OK. I've determined that the packages which are making my mouse go funny are probably kdelibs-data (4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.3) and kdelibs4c2a (4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.3), which I upgraded from 3.2 last night. How do I downgrade to 3.2 again? [12:54] ntemis: will break your system and no support here after it happens [12:54] any help for my sound problem? [12:54] !downgrade [12:54] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [12:54] tp__: WHat was the problem.. sorry if I missed it [12:54] didnt break anything here ?:( [12:54] I'm not downgrading Ubuntu, just two packages. [12:54] but if you say so [12:55] ntemis: just wait [12:55] ntemis: See works for me above [12:55] I installed the also drivers for ICH8 chipset intel sound card 2 days ago and it worked fine [12:55] i will just use it only for me [12:55] ntemis what is envy and how do i get it? [12:55] then this morning the updated installed a few packages, required reboot, and now no sound card is recognized at all [12:55] I\m using the Live CD right now.. And I need to access and delete some files on an NTFS partition. I\ve gotten access, but not permission to delete bc the entire disk is read only. What can I do about this? [12:55] ntemis: and when you upgrade.. surprise [12:55] Nikolas|: dubious package for installing nvidia drivers, not recommended [12:55] updater* [12:55] Nikolas|, envy is a bad thing to use.. You did try install the nvidia drivers with the restricted-manager tool? [12:56] anyone know if there will be a computer store that can replace compusa? [12:56] but he will not get the latest driver if he do [12:56] no [12:56] Nikolas|: gave me a big headache [12:56] i just installed ubuntu for my work [12:56] <[Nemo]> yra lietuviu [12:56] <[Nemo]> :| [12:56] <[Nemo]> ?

[12:57] newegg then gold44 [12:57] headb0y, or the computer:/// dir [12:57] Jack, I figured that, but it's not seeing a sound card -at all- now [12:57] in ubuntu that is$ [12:57] hello [12:57] nothing to install a driver to as it were [12:57] jimcooncat: ok, ill look at it.. problem is that i cant reboot since im on a live cd [12:57] so how do i install an NVIDIA geforce 8500+ XFX driver? [12:57] but make sure you unist.. the restricted before you go with envy [12:57] ntemis can link to envy without any repercussions? [12:57] tp__: lspci or lshw dont show it? [12:57] Dr_Willis: what program is used to handle such special handlers? [12:57] Nikki85, i normally just run the 'restricted-manager' tool and let it do it. But i guess you are saying the one in restricted-manager is not working.. [12:58] sec [12:58] I'll check it [12:58] How To setup a Static IP Address ? i dont have fixed ip.... please help... [12:58] headb0y, thats a feature of the gnome filemanager. [12:58] hey, how do I enable sshd? [12:58] jam, install it. :) [12:58] !sshd [12:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about sshd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:58] !ssh [12:58] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [12:58] ah, thanks :P [12:58] jam, ubuntu dont install any services like that by default [12:58] How do I set RealPlayer in Ubuntu as my default player? [12:59] reallyjoel: you shouldn't have to reboot [12:59] how do i install an NVIDIA geforce 8500+ XFX driver? lol seems my question went up high [12:59] ok, Jack_Sparrow, it's showing a lot of entries for 82001H (ICH8 Family), but nothing about sound [12:59] Nikolas|: go to restricted drivers [12:59] where is it? [12:59] Do the kernel updates put out this morning fix the local exploit that allowed a user to easily gain root? [12:59] In-Sane: i think in gnome there's Preferences->Preferred Applications [12:59] jimcooncat: i unmounted it via GParted now, but still it\s read only [12:59] how can I tell if an ssh connection is active? e.g., I'm on the client, and I want to know if I already have a connection to the server [13:00] tp__: so it sees ich8.. that is a start [13:00] Nikolas|: search the gnome panel [13:00] Dr_Willis: the computer:// path doesnt show up any of my desired devices and system:// and media:// don't work for me [13:00] graww, perhaps ps ax | grep ssh ? [13:00] prince_jammys: I see. let me check please [13:00] wait...nm...found the audio controller [13:00] headb0y, its computer:/// [13:00] How To setup a Static IP Address ? i dont have fixed ip.... please help... [13:00] headb0y, i got there by iusing the Places -> computer menu item at the top [13:00] Lunar_Lamp: Do you have untrusted users using shell accounts on your system? [13:00] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for that. I booted into safe mode and ran that command... and it appears to be working now. here comes the moment of truth..... === [Nemo] is now known as Nemiux [13:00] Dr_Willis: yep, thanks [13:00] hmmmmm.....but no sound card is shown in prefrences > sound [13:01] Jack_Sparrow, no. [13:01] Dr_Willis: the computer item doesnt show my ntfs drive [13:01] joequincy: great, but that is only basic video modem we can do better. [13:01] Anarchist: I believe in gnome there is Preferences(or Administration)->Network [13:01] headb0y, you may need to mount it manually perhaps. its showing mine. Could check in /media/ also [13:01] Dr_Willis: is it maybe because the ntfs partition has no label? [13:01] fevel: i am confused (i will say again i am a ubuntu newb) what's gnome search panel and how do i get to it? [13:01] prince_jammys: let me check it.. thx [13:01] Lunar_Lamp: then you have nothing to worry about [13:01] headb0y, normally it used the name 'disk' if it has no label. [13:01] headb0y, i always set Labels for mine. :) [13:02] Nikolas|: its the panel, not the "search panel" [13:02] Dr_Willis: its also not in /media because i already looked there. besides there is no volume or drive showing up with no label (disk label) [13:02] and where is it? [13:02] :p [13:02] Nikolas|: I said search the panel...its the equivalent to the windows start menu [13:02] headb0y, if its a removeabel disk. You may want to try unpluging it and plugging it back in [13:02] sry === jam is now known as jameg [13:02] Dr_Willis: i tried that already [13:02] If I delete the swap and root partition will grub go with it? [13:02] Jack_Sparrow, yes I do. People could exploit bugs in other software on my servers to gain local access etc - and then use that to gain root. I know it's not simple/likely - but I was just asking if the recent updates applied patches for the bug. [13:02] Nikolas|: got it? [13:02] yep [13:03] I just didn't got where is it [13:03] Nikolas|: now you gotta search, since I dont use gnome I dont know where it is...its probably in administration or preferences [13:04] headb0y, i would double check the fstab file - see if it has an entry for the drive. and if it does use the proper 'mount /media/whatever' command to mount it. You may want to read up on mounting of disks under linux. Its not real complex. but all this 'auto mounting' stuff just seems a bit flakey at times. [13:04] hello does someone know a good howto for the bcm4311 wireless card [13:04] papeete [13:04] i need to set it up with ndiswrapper since the bcm43XX sux [13:04] fedrox got a question? [13:04] Lunar_Lamp: I personally have not looked at the updates yet. [13:04] s0u][ight: do you really need it...doesnt restricted drivers take cara of that also/ [13:04] !broadcom [13:04] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [13:04] headb0y, my example fstab entry for my NTFS disk is /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 [13:05] i allready got that [13:05] How can I change permissions on a disk(ntfs partition) via the command line? [13:05] fevel: i found it [13:05] Lunar_Lamp: google would be where I would go to try and find out. [13:05] Lunar_Lamp: did you just get the headers update? [13:05] Nikolas|: =) [13:05] reallyjoel, you remount it with the proper options is the proper way. [13:05] then? :D [13:05] bazhang, headers, source and kernel [13:05] Hmm.. Im not even using ntfs-3g. odd. [13:06] Anyone know what I need to install for 32-bit compatibility on a 64-bit gutsy? [13:06] reallyjoel: normally this is done in the fstab file [13:06] Dr_Willis: Proper options? I have remounted but its always readonly [13:06] Lunar_Lamp: within the last 24 hours? [13:06] I thought it might be linux32, but it doesn't seem to be. [13:06] reallyjoel, ntfs is read only, ntfs-3g is r/w - May be your issue [13:06] prince_jammys: is that a textfile? [13:06] bazhang, yes [13:06] I need to run a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit box. [13:06] five: ia32-libs [13:07] Dr_Willis: no i have ntfs3g [13:07] HEP85: Thanks :-) [13:07] reallyjoel: it's a config file that is readable and editable -- in that sense, its a text file located at /etc/fstab. the number after "umask" alters the permissions [13:07] reallyjoel, IF windows did not properly unmount the windows disk, or its some how unclean. it will also get mounted read only for saftey reasons [13:07] prince_jammys: thanks [13:08] hello [13:08] if you mount it from the terminal - it should print out an error message about that. if thats the issue [13:08] is there something like daemon tools for linux? [13:08] My fstab entry for ntfs --> /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 [13:08] !iso | jaras [13:08] jaras: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [13:08] jaras, not really. Not much of a need. a similer thing has been around in linux for years [13:08] Dr_Willis: i think the problem is that i didnt check the right box in the config tool.. the "internal" option is greyed out [13:08] Lunar_Lamp: I am currently idling in #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-bugs to see if that was the fix [13:08] reallyjoel, highly likely. :) [13:09] Dr_Willis: but why would it be greyed out_ [13:09] reallyjoel, no idea. Mine are not. You did run ntfs-config with sudo? [13:09] Hello ciao [13:09] reallyjoel, could be theres no fstab entry at all for the internal disk. so its ignoring it. === silvestro is now known as AngeloDelParadis [13:09] Dr_Willis: no, i just ran it from the Applications-menu [13:09] if a driver install cp'd over a .ko file and then the kernel was upgraded...would that erase it from the device list? Would installing it again fix it? [13:09] i know but i'm trying to make my brother convert to linux so i was wondering if there was a gui to mounting iso's? [13:10] i need help with my mouse settings or perhaps windows settings please? The active window is now controlled by where my mouse pointer are. [13:10] reallyjoel: what does the ntfs entry in your fstab file say? [13:10] reallyjoel, i alway do 'sudo ntfs-config' [13:10] :) [13:10] Could someone explain me this and how to fix it? XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system. [13:10] Jack_Sparrow: it does not appear to have worked. I still have nothing on my screen (it turns off) [13:10] jaras, theres some tools that can automate it a little.. but ive never bothered with them. [13:11] Nikolas|, why do you want to use xampp? [13:11] jaras: gmountiso for example [13:11] joequincy: When you went through that what did you pick for video card? [13:11] unionfs / unionfs rw 0 0 [13:11] tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 [13:11] Dr_Willis, ok thx [13:11] it's easier for me [13:11] bardyr just tell me how to fix it :p [13:11] prince_jammys: did you get that [13:12] Jack_Sparrow: It's an onboard intel "card" [13:12] jaras, saw a artical on them on a linxu news site just this week --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/easy-way-of-mountunmount-iso-images-in-ubuntu.html [13:12] joequincy: When you went through that what did you pick for video card? [13:12] Nikolas|, idk, i just install apache/mysql/php with one apt-get cmd :) [13:12] Dr_Willis: i tried it with rebooting it doesnt work [13:12] reallyjoel: there's no ntfs there [13:12] headb01, tried what? :0 its almost bedtime here for me. :) [13:12] Dr_Willis: running it with sudo dosnt make any difference [13:12] Hello. How can I restart the usb services withhout restarting the pc? [13:13] joequincy: And what I told you to select was..... VESA [13:13] prince_jammys: strange, i can access the partition [13:13] reallyjoel, i would wonder if ntfs-config only tweaks existing fstab entries for ntfs disks. You may want to manually add an entry to fstab for the disk [13:13] bardyr [13:13] i installed apache2 [13:13] is it different from apache? [13:13] Jack_Sparrow: I didn't get what you meant by that. I'll do it now. [13:13] ok [13:13] Dr_Willis, prince_jammys: remember im using Live CD.. could thast be it? [13:13] Nikki85, apache is 1.3 apache2 is 2.x [13:14] reallyjoel: oh [13:14] reallyjoel: i see, that's [13:14] Dr_Willis: i tried rebooting but it still wont show up [13:14] reallyjoel, Gee.. ya might of mentioned that earlier. :) heh heh.. [13:14] reallyjoel: i see, that's your "tmpfs" [13:14] Dr_Willis: hehe, I did.. [13:15] Dr_Willis: is it possible that a 465 gb ntfs partition with a 365 gb file on it is 2 heavy for ntfs-3g? [13:15] headb01, we are chatting about mounting ntfs disks with reallyjoel also. :) [13:15] prince_jammys: ok.. is it possible to solve this at all? [13:15] headb01, i have 500gb NTFS disks used by ntfs-3g [13:16] Jack_Sparrow: Ok, I fixed it. Apparently the orignal fix for my sound card is rather patchy. Needs to be completely reinstalled every kernel update :( [13:16] tp__: Great.. [13:16] my fstab entry for my ntfs disk --> for exampel to show the others --> /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 [13:16] reallyjoel: i really don't have any experience mounting partitions from a live cd -- is it possible? i would say yes, but i don't know how [13:16] until Ubuntu catches up with the ICH8 chipset apparently [13:16] tp__: Well not great that you need to reinstall with every new kernel.. but at least you know how to do it [13:16] its bed time for me.. so night all. good luck with ntfs. [13:17] yeah...no biggy really. Takes about 5 minutes. [13:17] tp__:I am just glad it is working [13:17] hey guys! Is there anyway i can use the gutsy repository for just one program? I don't want to upgrade my entire distro [13:17] Is there any way to run 32 bit applications to 64AMD architecture? [13:17] prince_jammys, Dr_Willis: OK, thanks for the help!

More functional. But the streaming music is a must.

[14:05] Kez: tab to that [14:05] hi [14:05] Kez: and then hit enter [14:05] done, what should i put for bus identifier? [14:05] leave it as it is? [14:05] is there any software like flash? so i can build websites in flash using ubuntu [14:06] erUSUL: I've got all that stuff...I just can't determine which physical hard drives I need to pull out of the case [14:06] shockwave hfmls?

[14:07] hfmls: does adobe have a linux version? I seriously doubt that [14:07] use kernal defuffer interface - yes or no? [14:08] qwaz: yes; ide drive naming should be sequential... a is master and b slave of first ide (ide0) and so on you can check dmesg msgs to figure out the ones you have to replace [14:08] So, still nothing on a solution? [14:08] erUSUL: ahh, these 4 drives are all coming off a single raid controller card [14:08] Jack_Sparrow you there? [14:09] erUSUL: so is the first (from left to right) master, then slave, then master then slave? [14:09] yes [14:09] oops... it says "use kernal framebuffer interface" not debuffer, lol... should i pick yes or no? [14:09] Jack_Sparrow wanted to tell you that the script had a typo at that URL. It's fixed now though. [14:09] bazhang: i don't think so...but i thought it could be a software like flsah i could use. [14:09] so replace it if you cp'd it [14:10] new url [14:10] hfmls: there is gnash though no idea if that is anything more than a konq plugin [14:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55845/ [14:10] hfmls, you can use wine to run flash [14:10] oh, ok [14:10] thank you [14:10] thanks, will look at it later [14:10] chmod +x on it and run with sudo to make it smoother [14:11] bazhang: should i pick yes or no for use kernal framebuffer interface ? [14:11] erUSUL: my guess is that it is the first and third drives in line... [14:11] qwaz: the card should tell you what of the two ide ports is the first one (maybe color coded) and then who is master or slave is selecteb by jumpers on the drive or cable position (the one in the middle is slave and the other one master) [14:12] Ummmmm. Can I access a menu.lst from 7.04 from a 7.10 Live disc? [14:12] Kez: yes; from here-- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [14:13] erUSUL: the 4 drives are connected to the controller card with sata cables [14:13] ding dong ... hello [14:13] qwaz: http://www.trueblade.com/knowledge/hard-drive-naming-conventions-in-linux.html [14:13] Ack, I don't even know which HDA is my root. [14:13] anyone have any idea why emerald would cause my desktop to not be able to load? [14:13] any ideas [14:13] erUSUL: these are sata drives, not ide drives [14:14] Hammer89: Did You make an update? [14:14] qwaz: sata? o.O then driver names should be sda or sdb... not hdk or hdg [14:14] Offoffoff: yes [14:14] Kez: the rest are defaults; then log out log back in, go through that process again if you get a text prompt asking you to login (once you have logged in) and the next time choose no for the framebuffer question [14:14] qwaz: can you post your dmesg output on paste.ubuntu-nl.org [14:14] Offoffoff: not to Emerald though [14:14] erUSUL: the entire thing or just grep'ed with 'raid'? [14:15] You do not have the necessary permissions to save the file. Could someone tell me why this happens? [14:15] qwaz: the entire thing it is weird that sata drives got hdxx names [14:15] Hammer89: It is better to delete settings of Emerald. And to start. The defaults will be restored. Everything will go fine === ChrisM is now known as ChrisM-Boss [14:16] Offoffoff: I had to uninstall it to even be able to get to the point where my desktop environment loads [14:16] erUSUL: the individual drives have hd names, but there are two md0/md1 for each set of two [14:17] Kez: if you get that and have to sudo dpkg again--then once you have entered no the second time to the framebuffer question then restart your computer once you are finished and you should be good to go [14:17] Nikolas|, what file are you trying to save and where to? thats normally a sign you're editing a file outside of your /home directory which you'd need gksudo gedit as the editing command to give you root access to the file [14:17] hi. where must i copy a .so file so epiphany finds it? [14:17] Hammer89: See ~/.emerald. Delete it! [14:17] Offoffoff: okay... I'll try that [14:17] i tried to edit a file from the apache2 folder [14:17] at etc folder [14:18] yes? [14:18] permissions problem? [14:18] Hammer89: Do not be afraid - ~/.emerald will be restored [14:18] Offoffoff: I know === boris_ is now known as snipex77 [14:19] Nikolas|, use gksudo, e.g: "gksudo gedit apache2.conf" [14:19] Nikolas|, don't know what permisions there will be on that file, but normall i'd use "gksudo gedit /etc/filename", you'll be asked for you user password [14:19] ok, logging in and out now.... [14:19] Offoffoff: is there a particular file within the ~/.Emerald folder that you'd suspect would be the cause of my problems? [14:19] Kez: best to write down this command once you are dropped into text mode login sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg === Gzoo is now known as [TZ]Orez [14:19] How long do yo think it would take to resize an 80GB partition to, say, 60GB?

I'll see if it works [14:20] ricky_clarkson: 40 min [14:20] Ok, that's reasonable. [14:21] I'll go to a coffee shop with a power outlet and do it :) [14:21] ubuntu has some excellent links and factoids; why does no one bother to read them? [14:21] why can't i delete folders with ftp? [14:22] hi. where must i copy a .so file so epiphany finds it? [14:22] beer, you need to recompile with that .so? [14:22] some programs require [14:22] Lartza_, no, it's a plugin (i.e. flash) === ChrisM-Boss is now known as ChrisM [14:22] ok [14:23] beer, is it an translation? [14:23] bazhang: Presumably because in the best case, asking is faster than searching. [14:23] oh .so! [14:23] Hi there, does anyone know an app in ubuntu I can use to convert .ogm -> .avi [14:23] Lartza_, no i want to enable gnash [14:23] now i understanded === tp__ is now known as oshi [14:24] i somehow thought about .po [14:24] Quicksilva, difficult to say,. I even tried to do it with FFmpeg, but it couldn't! [14:24] Are there quieter channels where your question doesn't scroll off the screen in a few seconds? [14:24] beer: did you install mozilla-plugin-gnash? [14:24] beer: May be it is better to find out another version of library and to make symlink? [14:24] Ok, guys. I am inside my menu.lst What do I do to append a new "root="? [14:24] hagabaka, one moment [14:25] Ack, this guy on the forums didn't tell me which line to edit. :( [14:25] kostkon, was just reading on forums, there seems to be an app for linux called alltoavi [14:25] ricky_clarkson: you can make your own channel by appending a # to it [14:26] hagabaka, ah now it works , i just installed gnash before! thanks! [14:26] Amazing. [14:26] Quicksilva, I am pretty sure this app uses ffmpeg or mencoder to actually do the conversions [14:26] np [14:26] oh i see.. :((( [14:26] Quicksilva, thus, if ffmpeg can't (from my experience), you could try mencoder. it's in the repos [14:26] I just want to watch .ogm on my tv upstairs and xbox 360 adn ps3 dont support it [14:26] why can't i delete folders with ftp? [14:26] heh [14:27] it says they are not empty, but they are [14:27] oh, ill have a look then at mencoder [14:27] Quicksilva, ok, give it a try [14:27] will let you know if it works, cheers buddy [14:27] cool! :) [14:27] another question, how can i enable antialiasing with compiz? [14:27] Quicksilva, you can find a gui frontend for mencoder if you like, becuase is a command line tool. [14:27] could someone tell me how to install phpmyadmin? [14:28] what means anti-aliasing, it's never translated? [14:28] Quicksilva, just to let you now that it runs from the terminal [14:28] kostkon, ok man what would i have to install for the gui [14:28] Nikolas|: i believe "sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin" [14:28] anyone else here using irssi? [14:28] Nikolas|, what server? apache or lighttpd? [14:29] oshi: me [14:29] oshi, i have used [14:29] kostkon, ill do a search on the forums see if i can find how to use the terminal :P [14:29] apache [14:29] Quicksilva, i don't actually now a gui frontentd for mencoder. I only have used ffmpeg, and I use winff as its gui [14:29] Nikolas|: if you are running the server in you local machine then you have to direct it to localhost [14:29] ok, just out of curiosity, how do I send a file with it? [14:29] Quicksilva, ok [14:29] ok, then just installing package phpmyadmin would be enough [14:29] it configures for apache in install process [14:29] i use lighttpd and needed some extra configuration [14:30] oshi: /dcc send file nick ?? [14:30] what means anti-aliasing? [14:30] it was how Lartza_ said it [14:30] thanks [14:30] np [14:30] anti-aliasing is a method to make a picture less-pixely i think [14:30] is anyone familiar with synergy? the client connects fine, but nothing but the clipboard sharing works [14:30] oshi: /dcc send nick file to be exact [14:30] Is there a way I can get apt-get to use a socks proxy?

I'm trying to patch a system I have in a dmz. [14:42] danbhfive: and very little sleep :P [14:42] Lartza_: yep, but it seems like X is booting to failsafe mode with terrible reso [14:42] Hey [14:42] Lartza_: I have another distro on sda1, bits of a long neglected distro on sda3, a heap of files on sda4, and swap on sda2. I don't want any of that destroyed. I want to install on my slave HD, sdb1, without damaging the data on the other partitions. [14:42] Could someone tell me how to make phpmyadmin run? [14:42] i would say it wont affect them [14:42] Nikolas|: look at the docs, it is quite easy [14:43] docs stand for? [14:43] Hammer89: well, I have no idea what the problem is specifically, but I can suggest a few commands that will stress test your package management system: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [14:43] stands* [14:43] Nikolas|: you installed it and it doesnt work? [14:43] yes [14:43] Lartza_: well in the install window, it shows all the partitions on a table. sdb1 is the only one with a tick in the "format" column. [14:43] Nikolas|: the website, google for the install docs [14:43] Nikolas|: did you try 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin ? [14:43] let me see [14:44] danbhfive: ubuntu-desktop was already installed [14:44] Lartza_: I just wanna be sure heh. [14:44] How do I find out which HDA is my / partition? [14:44] The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server. [14:44] Please can someone help me with my Xserver problems? [14:44] I am sure i installed it [14:44] hi all. do 32-bit kubuntu-live-cds run on 64-bit-systems, too? [14:44] Hammer89: is that the message you got? [14:44] thechitowncubs: with sysv-rc-conf you can disable programs that run on boot [14:44] ciao [14:44] danbhfive: it returned a message saying I already have the newest version installed [14:44] Hey guys, the alsa model of realtek ALC622 is 3stack-6ch-dig [14:44] !list [14:44] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

I didn't do that... figured it was a typo :P hang on [14:45] Lartza_: is that a file? [14:45] I am sure I came across it before, but now I can't find it! Is it possible to execute a sudo command while specifying the location to the password, so you are not prompted for it? [14:46] program in repo [14:46] snooty: phpadmin should work with apache after install [14:46] snooty: did you restart apache? [14:46] Lartza_: thanks [14:46] danbhfive: it ran a list of already installed packages... and now it wants to install a package named "totem-gstreamer" [14:47] snooty: and mysql sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart [14:47] from sudo to resstart to commands [14:47] looooooool [14:47] two command i mean [14:47] bye boys ;) [14:47] Hammer89: that's it? [14:48] danbhfive: yup... what were you expecting? [14:48] Lartza_: do you happen to know if there would be any log files where I can see what app is causing this mess? === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [14:48] thechitowncubs: sorry I don't know [14:48] Hammer89: well, I was hoping... you could try gtkorphan, I think the problem might be that you still have leftover packages from kubuntu [14:49] danbhfive: that's a possibility... === dexem_ is now known as dexem [14:50] <_Lucretia_> which mp3 tag do i use to embed the cover art into an mp3 file? thanks [14:50] danbhfive: I just noticed that when it installed totem-gstreamer... it uninstalled a package named totem-xine [14:50] Hammer89: yeah, its no big deal, unless you want xine over gstreamer, but that just has to do with video playback [14:51] Lartza_: i disabled SAMBA and everything came back to life, very weird [14:51] Hammer89: if you need help with gtkorphan, let me know, im off to code some python [14:52] what do most people do on amd64 ubuntu to get flash working? [14:52] bahadunn: browser-based flash or something else? [14:52] jameg: browser-based flash [14:52] danbhfive: I have gtkorphan open now... deleting anything that has to do with KDE... why was it bring up ubuntu-desktop as being orphaned? [14:52] jameg: like in firefox [14:53] bahadunn: I think it installed it automatically... [14:53] Hammer89: ok, wait a sec [14:53] danbhfive: okay [14:53] jameg: adobe does not have 64bit flash player [14:53] Hammer89: first thing to do with gtkorphan is to hibernate any package that you want to keep [14:53] bahadunn: will check it out. [14:54] Hammer89: so, this should at least include ubuntu-desktop and linux-generic [14:54] bahadunn: I was wrong :P it looks as though firefox just won't display flash based objects. [14:54] danbhfive: I don't see any hibernate option... though things are unchecked by default [14:55] Hammer89: try right clicking [14:55] jameg: you using ubuntu amd64? [14:55] danbhfive: it's showing a lot of things as being orphaned which dont make sense to me [14:55] bahadunn: yes [14:55] hello i saw a bug fix in a package [14:55] jameg: so you do not visit youtube much right? [14:55] it says: This bug was fixed in the package qt4-x11 - 4.3.3-0ubuntu3 [14:55] what does that mean? [14:56] Hammer89: everything is orphaned, unless its hibernated, or it is depended on a package already install/hibernated [14:56] I actually use windows for my main machine, and yes, I do visit youtube :P [14:56] if you download it now, its fixed? [14:56] jameg: there is gnash but I find it does not seem to work very well [14:56] at least on my machines [14:56] hi i am using a live cd of ubuntu my friend passed onto me its version 7.10 i just wanna find out if all my drivers are ok before i do an install and that i can run compiz smooothly [14:56] Hammer89: you should also hibernate anything else that you install, that you want to keep [14:56] danbhfive: right... that could take me a while though :P [14:57] Hammer89: really? have you installed a bunch of stuff? [14:57] bahadunn: I've not heard of it, but its not a big deal to me anyway - Linux is used for server work. [14:57] ubuntu: best to run the livecd and see if it gets your hardware wireless etc easier to troubleshoot as well [14:57] danbhfive: quite a bit... I'll be here all day trying to hibernate all the packages I want to keep [14:57] Hammer89: if that's the case, you could just go through, and mark whatever looks like kde [14:57] bahadann: for me anyway - like I said, my main pc is XP [14:57] jameg: you mean you use linux for server work? [14:57] danbhfive: I did that [14:58] jameg: thats a shame [14:58] all seems well i got sound and my internet is working obviously can someone help me get my graphics and compiz a try please [14:58] ubuntu: what card [14:58] nvidia 8500gt 256mb [14:58] Hammer89: also, if you uncheck the showall option, and just show the orphaned libraries, I have never had a problem with getting rid of those [14:58] bahadunn: it just works better for me that way :P most of the stuff I do is easier under windows. [14:58] Im having problems with my sound driver, playing some sound files in amarok, and found out that the same problem occured when I tried xmms, anyone knows how to solve this or debug it? Im using alsa. [14:58] jameg: like what? [14:58] ubuntu I was worried you were going to say ati ;] [14:59] Hmmm. [14:59] bazhang haha nah ive heard the trouble with that [14:59] hi guys, I am a newbie, I need to access Kmenu, what's Kmenu? [14:59] danbhfive: I'm only familiar with a few of the packages listed when I do that [14:59] sunseeker888, google is nice. [14:59] sunseeker888: the main menu in kde, usually the far left button in the panel [14:59] bahadunn: Web design, audio production, general browsing etc. [15:00] * N3bunel saluta [15:00] bazhang can you please help me here [15:00] jameg: and you find that sort of thing difficult on linux? [15:00] sunseeker888: like the windows "start" menu [15:00] kmenu is kind of like the start menu in ##windows sunseeker888 [15:00] danbhfive: though there are FAR fewer listed [15:00] ubuntu: you got the wobbly windows? [15:00] bahadunn: to be honest, I've never bothered with it. Installing ubuntu yesterday was my first contact with it. [15:00] I'm trying to enable Xinerama with the radeon driver but as soon as I enable the Xinerama option the xserver segfaults and one monitors goes on with black picture but the other one is disabled. A reboot is then required to get anything on the screen. Someone that has a solution to my problem? [15:00] jameg: oh okay [15:00] bazhang nah no wobbly windows nothing [15:00] cheers guys [15:01] bahadunn: yer, I'm no power-user or anything, pretty much a total noob. [15:01] ubuntu go into appearances and try setting it to the middle setting [15:01] jameg: yes I realized that [15:02] Hammer89: well, as long as you have ubuntu-desktop and linux-generic installed, you will be fine in terms of booting, I think, Those are just random libraries, I always nix those [15:02] bazhang can u please tell me where to find appearance lol [15:02] got it [15:03] danbhfive: okay... one other thing though... I just checked the unorphaned file list... and kdesktop is one (as well as kdebase-bin, kdebase-kio-plugins, libkonq4, kdelibs4c2a) [15:03] anyone can help me? [15:03] it said system restart required === Cheetah_ is now known as Cheetah|work [15:03] Hammer89: unorphaned? [15:04] Heya. I'm experiencing some problems with my sound, or well, I can't get sound output to work and as I'm new to this world of ubuntu, I have no clue how to fix it. Any ideas or anything I should check？ [15:04] Hammer89: you mean non-lib list? [15:04] danbhfive: that's what it says [15:04] hi [15:04] ubuntu well this is a live cd so that wont help much [15:04] danbhfive: no... under the "non-orphaned packages" tab [15:04] Hammer89: ah, ok, I see it [15:04] i'm trying to use preseeding to automate an installation, but the installer hangs after loading vmlinuz with the text "Ready." after that it doesnt do anything anymore.. my question: does the USB stick need to have an ext3 filesystem for this to work? [15:04] bazhang thats true any other ideas do you have a command for compiz or .?? [15:05] Hammer89: well, you probably have a kde base package still installed then [15:05] hello [15:05] ubuntu: do you see the restricted driver manager applet? [15:05] bahadunn: so the flash installation option on the adobe website won't work with the amd64 version then? [15:05] <_Oz_> Hello, Ubuntu friends! [15:05] Could someone tell me why i can't see a CAPTCHA image from my website? [15:05] <_Oz_> Anyone know of a VPN application that can control a Ubuntu machine from an XP machine? [15:05] danbhfive: let me generate a list of installed packages real fast... brb [15:05] jameg: it will not work with any 64bit version [15:05] yep [15:05] jameg: it is only 32bit [15:06] bazhang it has enable ticked but not in use [15:06] jameg: I assume it will not work in 64bit windows either [15:06] bahadunn: you'd think they'd have the foresight to put that on their website :( [15:06] jameg: you need to use nspluginwrapper [15:06] i might just do a full install and then get some help in here [15:06] it seems that it's not generated [15:06] MasterShrak: what is that, and where can I find it? [15:06] can someone help? [15:06] ubuntu: click uncheck then recheck, then alt-f2 compiz --replace and see if that does anything [15:06] did anyone tried the mac on intelpc hack? does it really work or are there problems? [15:07] http://dailyapps.net/2007/12/hack-attack-install-leopard-on-your-pc-in-just-one-step/ [15:07] jameg: its in the repositories: sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper [15:07] jameg: actually you would think that adobe would have made a 64bit version by now seeing as 64bit cpus have been around for 3 or 4 years now [15:07] jameg: ill link you to how to use it [15:07] anton illegal and not supported here [15:07] only probalem when i search on firefoxx il type it and click search and it will take like a few moments for it to actually search its like laggy is that coz of my network driver [15:07] kdebase-bin, kdebase-kio-plugins, kdelibs-data, kdelibs4c2a, kdesktop, klibc-utils, klogd would appear to be the only installed KDE packages [15:07] @ danbhfive [15:07] MasterShrak: with nspluginwrapper will it just work right out of the box for flash/ [15:07] ? [15:07] bahadunn: true that.. its pretty slack of them [15:07] jameg: nvm i wont link you, ill walk you through it, its pretty simple [15:07] ubuntu no cos of the livecd [15:07] why my 3ddesk only have 1 desk?.. [15:07] jameg: well adobe sucks [15:08] MasterShrak: ok. let me just open up the terminal. [15:08] bahadunn: i dont think so [15:08] error while installing: executing grub hd0 failed. This is a fatal error. What does that mean? [15:08] 3 [15:08] arg [15:08] Hammer89: yes? [15:08] sry [15:08] blink you have the drivers installed and wroking for 3D? [15:08] MasterShrak: okay [15:08] danbhfive: would any of those be causing problems? [15:08] ati driver?.. [15:08] i use intel graphic.. [15:09] i did the f2 compiz --replace and got nutin but a screen flicker and when i ticked and unticked the box to enable just said needs system restart instead of not in use [15:09] blink if you have an ati card then yes? if something other then that driver ;] [15:09] Hammer89: any of what, am I missing something? [15:09] <_Oz_> Anyone know of a VPN application that can control a Ubuntu machine from an XP machine? [15:09] danbhfive: kdebase-bin, kdebase-kio-plugins, kdelibs-data, kdelibs4c2a, kdesktop, klibc-utils, klogd would appear to be the only installed KDE packages === lorenzo_ is now known as traco1988 [15:09] bahadunn, jameg: you need to get the tarball from adobe's site, and extract the libflashplayer.so to a directory (usually /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins i think) [15:09] danbhfive: sorry, I wrote that the first time without using your name [15:10] i dont have ati..my notebook is compaq presario v3000 with 1gb ram and 1.86 ghz pro.. [15:10] bazhang one more question before i leave should i download the new 7.10 version off website before i install or this 7.10 version im using now is fine [15:10] MasterShrak: yeah I have done that before [15:10] Anyone know what this error means? while installing: "executing grub hd0 failed. This is a fatal error. " [15:10] bahadunn, jameg: then run (as your user) nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so and then youll be good to go [15:10] ok bahadunn :) [15:10] MasterShrak: cool [15:10] ubuntu the new 7.10? not sure what that is ;] [15:10] MasterShrak: sounds easy enough [15:11] hey help me... [15:11] <_Oz_> ubuntu: 7.10 will update itself [15:11] like off the website would it be different then the one i have now mayb something extra added to it..? [15:11] Hammer89: well, if you don't want kde, I would get rid of them, but again, I really don't know. All I DO know, is that the package manager doesn't work perfectly, and you have to do what you are doing. [15:11] blink: same laptop i have [15:11] oh okai not a problem [15:11] blink: trying to--please use my nick to highlight my name or whoever's [15:11] danbhfive: alright [15:11] will it update my motherboard so my network and everything runs correctly [15:12] blink: http://studentweb.stcloudstate.edu/pada0401/v3015nr.ubuntu.7.04.html [15:12] blink: thats for 7.04, but should be relevant to 7.10 also [15:12] Hammer89: personally, I think hibernating all the packages you want is the best way, and blindly getting rid of everything under the lib section has never been a problem for me [15:12] ubuntu hardware fix? dont think ubuntu is that great yet ;] but if you can get on the internet with the livecd then you can do so in the install [15:12] MasterShrak: thanks very much, seems to be working [15:12] still getting it set up.. [15:12] danbhfive: okay [15:12] ok wait..i try..i be back.. [15:12] HELLO! Should I install graphics drivers from ATI? I have a Radeon 8500, and am running Ubuntu 7.10 since yesterday. Thanks!

[15:17] bazhang something about inability to unload something. i know this sounds vague, im trying to find out where logs of the error message is so i can be more specific. [15:17] MasterShrak: I tried doing the nspluginwrapper line, but it returned the following error: nspluginwrapper: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so is not a valid NPAPI plugin [15:17] intel express i think... [15:17] jameg: running 7.10? [15:17] yep [15:17] If I were to use a flash drive, would that work in a LiveCD? Just copying it over? [15:17] L3ttuc3: I would ignore it--I get that sometimes as well [15:18] With a shell script how can I run several applications so that I don't have to wait for one to close for the next one to start? [15:18] jameg: hmm, try: sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so and try again [15:18] bazhang i get it inconsistently. that does not affect shutdown usually. [15:18] ChrisM: yep [15:18] Whitman: COMMAND & [15:18] ok..how to install the addon cd?.. [15:18] OK, give me a minute.

I read that this has to be in context with a combined mode of Intel chipsets. But i'm afraid to reboot a remote machine where i have c [15:21] MasterShrak: Seems I can't even access the hard drive in the LiveCD now. [15:21] but most forum i read same it ok...

Wouldn't know how to explain it better. For example, playing mp3s, watching videos (both online and offline) does not generate any sound. Does that help? [15:25] MasterShrak: I think its working now. Thanks! [15:25] can anyone help me with a slow computer? [15:25] blink that cd is not supported here [15:25] MasterShrak: it's weird. I can't help wondering if it (for large values of "it") doesn't like the A64 or something. [15:25] jameg: good news :) [15:25] Ubuntu5446: do you know whats making it slow? [15:25] Ubuntu5446: be more precise please [15:25] i recently upgraded to gutsy, and just the other day did dpkg-reconfigure [15:25] muramasa, in the terminal type alsamixer [15:25] Nutubuntu: a64 = athlon64? [15:25] Ubuntu5446: not saying that i can help you.. but defining whats slow.. might help [15:25] MasterShrak positive, the only thing it does is blank the lcd screen, and not turned off. i can use Fn key on laptop keyboard and the little lcd icon, and that really turns the backlight off, because it goes darker, so no, it just blanks it. and it's not in standby, or hibernate either. [15:25] muramasa, and try to turn all the volumes up [15:25] no, it has been slow since i upgraded [15:26] everything is slow on it [15:26] MasterShrak: yes - Athlon 64 X2, running the 32bit version of Gutsy [15:26] how much ram Ubuntu5446 what cpu etc [15:26] L3ttuc3: very weird, i would check some forums or somethign to see if anyoen else is experiencing this [15:26] !forums | Nutubuntu [15:26] Nutubuntu: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [15:26] should I use generic or 386 kernel for p4 (686) [15:26] techi602, generic [15:27] hi [15:27] [][] [15:27] Worth a shot, MasterShrak - thanks [15:27] MasterShrak i would, but the search parameters are exceedingly vague, i suspect i'll get a lot of false positive hits. [15:27] Is there a command line option for bash to run a command? `bash -`? [15:27] Bez, are you here? [15:27] Nutubuntu: weird, im running turion64x2 with gutsy 64, runs fine, but 32 bit should run just fine also, i doubt it has anything to do with the processor [15:27] hfmls, hi [15:27] MasterShrak: You are not going to like this, but it screwed up the settings in the menu.lst [15:27] where can i find menu.lst ? [15:27] grub menu.lst [15:27] L3ttuc3: true [15:27] kez you mean me? [15:27] /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [15:27] MasterShrak: Nevermind, notepad just sucks. [15:27] MasterShrak had similar issues with usbhid the last time it happened too, this time however, i hadn't removed the module, but lsusb hung as well. [15:27] ChrisM: use wordpad [15:28] Yes :) Hey, I had to go to the dentist so I only just tried logging in... I'm typing this from my Mac... It didn't work - it came up with an error and now I have a black screen that I can type into >_< [15:28] MasterShrak and all i get from kern.log is a generic message like: 5684.344000] usb 6-6.3: USB disconnect, address 8 [15:28] http://pastebin.com/mc8faf49 [15:28] L3ttuc3: try rmmod'ing the module and modprobe'ing it [15:28] errr [15:28] MasterShrak: http://pastebin.com/mc8faf49 [15:28] kez what was the error [15:28] i got ti ChrisM :0 [15:28] :) [15:28] ok [15:28] now i want to add a line [15:29] anyone know why the latest kernel update misconfigured my grub menu.lst? [15:29] ChrisM: and what is the error you are getting? [15:29] It said something about disable the thing I had just setup to return to something or other >_< [15:29] MasterShrak: I did edit it so it says /dev/hda1 but, it seems that didn't work? [15:29] oh drat- gotta go [15:29] Disable xorg maybe, not sure exactly, it was like a blue screen error type thing [15:29] kez yes you logged out before reading all my messages ;[ [15:29] root (hd0,2) ins this part i have to change to wich partition i want, partition i want is sda1, how does it stays then? [15:29] Ah damn >< [15:29] MasterShrak: http://pastebin.com/m20bb4574 is the error [15:29] MasterShrak i did that after it stopped working, what i said earlier. modprobe usbhid hung. had to ctrl+c out of it, although after bootup it reloaded it automatically, so it must have written something in modules.conf or wherever those modules listings are kept before failing to actually do something. [15:29] hfmls: (hd0,0) [15:29] i believe [15:29] Should I reinstall then? or is there some command that will fix this :P [15:29] <_Oz_> Anyone know of a VPN application that can control a Ubuntu machine from an XP machine? [15:30] i think im going to be on the wrong side of a netsplit very soon. [15:30] bardyr, the 2 options I could change was already at 100 :-( [15:30] kez you need to go through the process when you hit that a second time and the second time choose no when the framebuffer question comes up, then finish and restart you will be good to go [15:30] ChrisM: is that the same error you got after you changed it to /dev/hda1 [15:31] MasterShrak well, to summarise, after the problem happens, modprobe usbhid and lsusb both hang. [15:31] Ok... but what should I do right now? I just have a black screen that I can type into... cant get into desktop [15:31] MAsterShrak: YEs, except this time it says /dev/hda1 [15:31] Should I format over it and reinstall? [15:31] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg kez write this down now [15:31] Mastershrak: I have no clue what the main hard drive is so I can boot into it. [15:31] MasterShrak: i want to add a partition with a OS to grub [15:31] is this ok [15:31] L3ttuc3: wow, sorry dude i dunno what to tell ya, ive never had problems with my laptop and that sort of thing, but different hardware acts differently [15:31]  wrote down [15:32] title Mac OS X [15:32] root (hd0,0) [15:32] savedfault [15:32] makeactive [15:32] chainloader +1 [15:32] is this ok? [15:32] hfmls: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:32] kez no text prompt? [15:32] ChrisM: and you are sure its /dev/hda1 and not /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda2 ? [15:32] bazhang - miro is an RSS video grabber ... will it also work on clips from the typical video sites, youtube, myspace, revver, etc ? [15:32] i need help with a audio issue, i have a 5.1 setup and i am only getting audio out of the rear speaks, no audio on front speakers or center [15:32] hp pavilion 6436nr, 2x amd turion 64 x2 (although I am using x86, wanted to keep it at the 32 bit for such things like flash), 2009 MB memory, nvidia geforce go 6150 graphics card [15:32] MasterShrak i know :) couple of pointers would be enough. i was hoping one of the other guys around here might have had an idea where to look. [15:32] i typed it in the black screen and nope, nothing, just another new line with flashing thing [15:32] Ubuntu5446: flash works fine on 64 bit with nspluginwrapper [15:33] i think the message was disable xserver [15:33] the error i mean [15:33] laughzilla: well for the ones like google video youtube and others it it great to search and grab stuff--otherwise the firefox plug in for space book etc [15:33] <_Oz_> Anyone know of a VPN application that can control a Ubuntu machine from an XP machine? [15:33] <[HU]gnanet> I dont wanna repeat, anyone read my question? [15:33] MasterShrak: Well, there is in ~/media a sdb1 but I click on it and it shows nothing. [15:33] MasterShrak: good to know [15:33] i need help with a audio issue, i have a 5.1 setup and i am only getting audio out of the rear speaks, no audio on front speakers or center [15:33] _Oz_: you mean vnc? [15:33] brb === finer_recliner is now known as finerrecliner [15:34] kez restart the computer [15:34] alright [15:34] MasterShrak: /Disk/Media/ *** [15:34] ChrisM: its hard for me to pinpoint your problem since i cannot see your partition scheme, but my guess woudl be that /dev/hda1 is not your ubuntu's root partition [15:34] _Oz_: whose machines? all yours? [15:34] thanks bazhang :) i'll try it. i just like to double check 'cuz this box is kinda old / small on the hdd where ubuntu's installed. [15:34] ChrisM: use /dev/sda1 [15:35] MasterShrak: How would I find out? [15:35] anyone ? [15:35] i need help with a audio issue, i have a 5.1 setup and i am only getting audio out of the rear speaks, no audio on front speakers or center [15:35] laughzilla: yeah that miro can eat up the hdd ;] [15:35] oh at the same time this is happening, i get a whole series of this from syslog: NetworkManager: [1202913674.592260] nm_hal_device_removed(): Device removed (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_5ac_221_noserial_if0_logicaldev_input'). [15:35] MasterShrak: OK. Do I edit ALL the lines that show that UUID? [15:35] ChrisM: nah, just the one in the first section, if it works out you can go back and change the others [15:35] bazhang: here is the error message "failed to start the X server. It is likely that it is not set up correctly." [15:36] MAsterShrak: OK, here goes nothing. [15:36] ChrisM: since you say there is a /dev/sdbX, it leads me to believe there is a /dev/sda somewhere, most likely where ubuntu is installed [15:36] does this channel support setting up pirated software? ie OS X? [15:36] bazhang: not at all [15:36] Anyone suggest a place for me to get some decent themes? I'm not a fan of the default ubuntu theme. [15:36] hfmls is trying to do that MasterShrak [15:36] MasterShrak: so should I just install the 64 bit flavor? [15:36] adamb: gnome-look.org [15:36] adamb, gnome-lool.org [15:37] Ubuntu5446: thats entirely up to you [15:37] ChrisM: try this command ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -al [15:37] oh and something else i was going to ask, you know how init loads up services and has messages at bootup, and sometimes, there are errors, what logfile do i need to consult to find those? [15:37] thanks guys [15:37] kez just a moment [15:37] MasterShrak: okay, what other info would be helpful? [15:37] ok [15:37] Ubuntu5446: well, i havent been paying attention to what it is you are having troubles with [15:38] danbhfive: That shows that it sbd1 [15:39] Ubuntu5446: oh, your system is slow, well i would first create a new user, log in with them and see if its still really slow, if not then its just a user problem, which is relatively easily fixed [15:39] MasterShrak: computer is very slow, firefox takes over a minute just to start appearing, menus in the panel are noticeably slow in coming up... [15:39] i've not been able to get pdf listed in my printers when trying to add a new one although ive checked permissions on the file like the forums say and yes i have cups installed ...can anyone point me to why else cups pdf not be listed in new printers? [15:39] Ubuntu5446: how much ram you got installed? [15:39] MasterShrak: I will try that out [15:39] kez try hitting ctrl alt f2 [15:40] i get a login prompt... should i? [15:40] yesh [15:40] kez yesh [15:40] MasterShrek: you nick stealer! [15:40] lulz [15:40] haha [15:41] Can someone try listening to French Kiss FM on rhythmbox and tell me if it works for them? [15:41] it's a shoutcast stream [15:41] http://88.191.35.197/listen.pls [15:41] ok bazhang [15:41] ubuntuisloved: I'm embarassed to say I keep forgetting which number that is [15:41] CreativeEmbassy: is that the only one that doesnt work for you? if so its the stream [15:41] now its giving me a command promt area to type stuff in [15:41] ChrisM: also, here is another command: sudo fdisk -l [15:41] MasterShrak and danbhfive: Edited it so sdb1, now I am rebooting. If this works, I have another question. [15:41] well, other mp3 streams might not work either [15:41] ubuntuisloved: I think it is something like 1.8 G, does that sound right? [15:42] but I can play mp3s fine [15:42] so I'm not sure where the problem lies [15:42] ChrisM: you have reached your quota on questions today, please try again tomorrow [15:42] :) [15:42] ChrisM: roger that, thought I don't know what the original problem was... [15:42] and I can definitley play it in Vista/Winamp [15:42] MAsterShrak Oh funny. [15:42] kez you logged in? now try the command you wrote down once again, and when you hit the framebuffer question this time choose no, finish up and then restart and you will be good to go [15:42] =P [15:42] Ubuntu5446: in terminal type in free and post me [15:42] Might as well ask it now. [15:42] ok baz - will try that now :) [15:42] Was anyone else able to successfully play that? [15:43] Ubuntu5446: in terminal type in free -m [15:43] CreativeEmbassy: can you play other streams? [15:43] how do i enable 5.1 audio in ubuntu [15:43] <_SiLENT_> can anyone help me with tcpdump here? [15:43] lemme try [15:43] no one clicked it CreativeEmbassy ;] [15:43] Ubuntu5446: whats your total say [15:43] MasterShrak: Didn't work [15:43] well that would have been the first thing i did CreativeEmbassy, before pasting links in the irc chan, things like that may get you banned if the right ppl see them [15:43] ubuntuisloved: 1962 [15:43] <[HU]gnanet> Need help in SATA combined, libata ata_piix and invisible HDD drives!

[15:45] MasterShrek: You know, it wouldn't hurt to save. Haha. :P [15:45] _SiLENT_: for what purpose? [15:45] shrak: wait, really? [15:45] <[HU]gnanet> MasterShrak: The one sata hdd is also detected in ATA/133 ... [15:45] Ubuntu5446: yea [15:45] I can get banned for posting a link like that? [15:45] ubuntuisloved: yes i know, but there is no such particular process [15:45] this is weird, i installed miro, the synaptic package manager says it's installed, yet i don't see it in any of the Applications menus. i tried to open "miro" with the command window, it did not come up as an installed app. any idea what it is called or where it's buried? [15:45] Ubuntu5446: I'd check because trackerd has been known to drag a system [15:45] bazhang [15:45] <_SiLENT_> bazhang: it is a whole story, this is because I am using satellite internet [15:46] that is odd laughzilla [15:46] <_SiLENT_> I need to redirect only from one IP [15:46] CreativeEmbassy: its possible, ive seen bans for stupid things. a shoutcast stream, probably not, but i tend not to take chances [15:46] ei [15:46] ok [15:46] Ubuntu5446: also fyi i know from repairing pc's that hard drives dying are slower as the bad sectors start to appear [15:46] bazhang - i'll try to restart gnome [15:46] ubuntuisloved: I meant to indicate that I have already checked...actually specifically to see if trackerd was the problem, but it does not show up at all [15:46] MasterShrak: I know, laugh it up. Complete idiot I am. :P [15:46] CreativeEmbassy: what program are you using to stream? [15:46] alt-f2 miro yields nothing laughzilla [15:46] <_SiLENT_> please help if you can [15:47] CreativeEmbassy: if its related to getting help, I don't think you should worry about getting banned [15:47] bazhang - right [15:47] lol @ ChrisM live n learn, then live n learn n save [15:47] haha [15:47] Ubuntu5446: did you run a hard drive check fsck on it? [15:47] how do i create a new user? [15:47] MasterShrak: haha [15:47] sudo adduser --help [15:47] <[HU]gnanet> MasterShrak: Chipset ich5 if you miss that post [15:47] ubuntuisloved: no i have not [15:47] Ubuntu5446: system > administration > users [15:48] hey the www.ubuntu doesn't show anything about this link http://imaginux.com/addoncd/ but i get this link on ubuntu forum..can this addon support my ubuntu system?..i downloaded it but it seem doesn't support my system..i only want the compiz 3d desktop..pls help me,... [15:48] * ChrisM mumbles I better get this done before the wife shows up or she is going to kill me. [15:48] [HU]gnanet: yea i saw, im kinda stumped on that, honestly i dont have alot of experience with sata, but i never thought it to cause many problems [15:48] Ubuntu5446: you can run it from your live ubuntu cdrom [15:48] bazhang: how do i reload/reboot it now ive done all of that setup? is there a command? or should i just turn pc off and back on [15:48] blink oy that cd is from who knows where? you need the original [15:48] <[HU]gnanet> MasterShrak: no prob, i always got problems that others never face :D [15:49] blink: get the idea of the addon cd out of your head, its not a good idea at all [15:49] kez sudo reboot [15:49] here we go... lol [15:49] When having 10+ tabs open in Firefox 2 or Firefox 3 alpha, CPU utilization very often goes to 100% and the system gets very slow. The issue seems to be identical with 2.0 and 3.0 alpha. Someone knows what could be wrong? [15:49] <[HU]gnanet> I have nothing to lose to try combined_mode=libata as a kernel param [15:49] so how i can get the 3d desktop?>>:( [15:49] How do i enable 5.1 audio in ubuntu [15:49] Also, might as well ask my second question. If I double click on the "install" icon on the Live CD, will it just update Ubuntu and not screw with settings and files (Mainly the Virtual MAchines I put in.)? [15:49] Jocke1: maybe its that you have 10+ tabs open [15:50] ChrisM: I think it screws with everything [15:50] ubuntuisloved: would it be okay if I did it from a livecd that is not gutsy? [15:50] blink last time--get the original cd--though with an intel card--which you refused to answer which one --that may or may not support it [15:50] MasterShrak: It also happens sometimes when I have only 3 tabs open. And it should also manage 10+ tabs. [15:50] Jocke1: also if the pages have flash and stuff on them, theres a good chance its bogging your system down. i use an extention for firefox called "No Script" where you ahve to explicitly allow pages to run flash/java/etc [15:50] danbhfive: Is there a way I can upgrade without it messing with all my files? [15:50] Ubuntu5446: yes its a very basic binary [15:51] ubuntuisloved: alright I'll be back === helpme is now known as lovemedo [15:51] ChrisM: can you use the upgrade manager? or apt-get? [15:51] <[HU]gnanet> Jocke1: I agree MasterShrak, NoScript is what you shoudl try [15:51] ChrisM: if you install from the cd, its going to overwrite, if you already have ubuntu installed, you can upgrade through apt-get [15:51] !upgrade | ChrisM [15:51] ChrisM: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:51] MasterShrak: It's typically on news sites, and they got a lot of graphics ads, and some flash. I'll take a look at NoScript. [15:52] MasterShrak, do you know how to enable 5.1 audio in ubuntu [15:52] ad block plus Jocke1 [15:52] opteroN: nope, if i knew i would have told ya. have you checked the forums? [15:52] !forums | opteroN [15:52] danbhfive: Yeah. OK. I will just click on the "Upgrade to 7.10" in the Updater. I was just highly reluctant because my Linux machine is my main computer where I do all my work. [15:52] opteroN: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [15:52] bazhang: I'll look at that one too then :) [15:52] yeah i have [15:52] Jocke1: that is a serious nice addon [15:53] bazhang: sounds good [15:53] * N3bunel brb [15:53] oh dear... bazhang - same error :( is there any other possible remedy or should i do a fresh install [15:53] Are there any American's here? (Active) [15:53] opteroN: http://www.halfgaar.net/surround-sound-in-linux may be of some assistance, google is your friend [15:53] i have the original cd and my rotated desktop is working..but i cannot zoom actually..... [15:53] well, my situation only got a little more confusing [15:53] hej [15:53] I got sky.fm's jazz station to play, and it says its mp3 [15:54] what is the other one CreativeEmbassy ? [15:54] but I tried several other stations, all shoutcase mp3, and non of them worked for me [15:54] not mp3 apparently [15:54] Hello. [15:54] MAsterShrak: OK, I just set it up so All of them are /dev/sdb1 [15:54] hi chris062689 [15:54] i want 3ddesktop...i have the original cd and my rotated desktop is working..but i cannot zoom actually..... [15:54] Whats the command to show Kernel version again? I forgot [15:54] ChrisM: ok, did it work? [15:55] Anyone here interested in starting a lightweight distro designed for lowend systems? o_0 [15:55] ArmedKing: uname -a [15:55] <[HU]gnanet> CreativeEmbassy: what player you meant before? [15:55] i gotta put a few more links on here [15:55] MasterShrak, Tnx m8 [15:55] MAsterShrak: What about where it shows it in other places? [15:55] I really like rhythmbox, and would prefer to use that [15:55] Sky Jazz, this works: http://shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=1403&file=filename.pls [15:55] ChrisM: like where? [15:55] CreativeEmbassy: have you installed extra codecs? [15:56] <[HU]gnanet> hm [15:56] !codecs > CreativeEmbassy (see the private message from ubotu) [15:56] I did the restricted extras [15:56] No one wants to help with a custom distro? :( [15:56] CreativeEmbassy: get gstreamer (good, bad and ugly) and also have a look at medibuntu [15:56] MAsterShrak: Well, it shows it in "Start Default Options" With kopt=root=UUID= [15:56] !medibuntu > CreativeEmbassy (see the private message from ubotu) [15:56] i already got medibuntu [15:56] i'll double check all of the gstreamer ones [15:56] does intel support 3d desktop?.. [15:57] CreativeEmbassy: open the stream with totem first [15:57] 'man make' refers me to 'SEE ALSO: The GNU Make Manual'. Where can I find and read 'The GNU Make Manual'? [15:57] CreativeEmbassy: that should install the codecs you need [15:57] <[HU]gnanet> CreativeEmbassy: i think some players doesnt recognize the difference between mp3 and aac and tra to play aac with mp3 decoder [15:57] i'll try that totem trick, thanks... [15:57] ChrisM: what was the pastebin for your menu.lst again? sorry i closed the tab [15:58] totem just said it couldn't play it [15:58] hmm [15:58] blink: i beleive so [15:58] MAsterShrak: http://pastebin.com/mc8faf49 [15:58] CreativeEmbassy: totem sucks, worst player out there imho [15:58] CreativeEmbassy: are you on Gutsy? [15:58] * ChrisM can't wait to get off this damned vista laptop... [15:58] I am using nm-applet and it does not lock onto my wireless router when I boot my puter, it just spins around trying to log onto it, but when I manually click on it, it logs on relatively fast, about 15 to 20 secs.

[16:00] k3b [16:01] danbhfive: really? i was not aware (im more used to lilo i guess) [16:01] d4t4min3r, then you will need to mount the ISO, and use k3b to make a bootable DVD [16:01] well... hum [16:01] MAsterShrak: So wait, does this mean I can make it say what I want? Like instead of "Recovery mode" I can make it say "Use the force"?

[16:17] OK MAsterShrak. What is it I typed earlier to find out what my hard drive is? [16:17] bonjour [16:17] <_Oz_> ok, I installed tightvncviewer using sudo apt-get install tightvncviewer but how do I install the server?? [16:17] Boglizk: ok... i use FF3. the betas have been stellar. beta3 just came out, and my windows machine updated itself. my linux boxes have not. ff3 is in the repos, but like alpha8 not even beta. [16:17] Kez: if you have black bars, i would venture to guess you arent running at native resolution, is everything squished ro what? [16:17] kez aha! well we at least knocked down one barrier [16:17] yt [16:18] blink: Do you have desktop wall disabled? [16:18] nope, it looks very sharp, but 2 black bars... it is *certainly* my native resolution, im staring at it on my monitor info book right now and ive used it in windows === Skweeker_duce is now known as Skweeker [16:18] arrrghhh: If you're so desperate for the newest version of everything, you might want to consider compiling software yourself. [16:18] * MasterShrak agrees [16:18] odd: ya.. [16:18] Boglizk: well that's what i'm going to have to do. but why does my windows machine update itself without having to compile? that doesn't make sense. i figured linux would get more FF support than windows. [16:18] kez this is a desktop? [16:19] it cant be enabled if i enable 3d [16:19] yes [16:19] arrrghhh: it's the nature of ubuntu, ubuntu releases new software every 6 months, in general [16:19] arrrghhh: Since the Firefox team doesn't supply Ubuntu .debs. Its obvious it will take some time. [16:19] danbhfive: hrm... [16:19] blink: You have [16:19] arrrghhh: the FF developers release there software on windows themselves, and release the sourcecode for the linux distros [16:19] kez I got that as well with my oem viewsonic (benq) and adjusted it by fiddling with the controls on the monitor itself [16:19] Boglizk: oh they don't provide DEBs? i guess i knew that since it always gives me a .tar file [16:20] blink: You have "Desktop Cube" and "Rotate Cube" enabled. Correct? [16:20] ya...but not desk wall.. [16:20] arrrghhh: Then why do you act so surprised? Just compile it. geeez. [16:20] arrrghhh, if theres a newer FF repo u can grab debs from just add it and use it to update FF for? i dont see the problem. [16:20] i just wish firefox updated as easily in linux as it did in windows. that makes me sad. well thank you everyone, that was actually helpful. [16:20] bazhang: that's what everyone has suggested, but with DVI input on my monitor, it does not allow access to those kind of controls... they're locked [16:20] arrrghhh: so, you do have to compile your self, if you want it faster than ubuntu's time table, I think, I mean, its really up to the ubuntu devs [16:20] danbhfive: What is it you had typed to tell me how to see what my hard drives are named? [16:20] arrrghhh, firefox support is available on /server irc.mozilla.org /join #firefox [16:20] arrrghhh: so maybe YOU should get your information right before you come to channels and call people retarded [16:20] ChrisM: maybe it was sudo fdisk -l [16:20] MasterShrak: i do have my info right. thanks for the attack too, lovely.

[18:28] In-Sane: no worries ;] [18:28] solar_george: it is. I'll double check, though. [18:28] is there any way i can point my web browser to an executeable to execute and have its contents displayed as if it using a web server (without using a web server like apache)? [18:28] tahts what i meant =) [18:28] Ubuntu5446: run live cd then run fsck -r [18:28] zackyramone: got another computer you can use to log in remotely? [18:28] eshaase: why without apache? [18:28] phaidros: i was just wondering if you could remember what the problem was, or what i had to do to find it [18:28] eshaase, nope, i still have no idea what you are trying to achieve. [18:29] Ubuntu5446: that will check the drive and -A checks all filesystems [18:29] solar_george: yeah, it's already mounted there [18:29] zackyramone: also, can you verify that your monitor didn't buy the farm when the power fluctuated? [18:29] ubuntuisloved: you mean boot from the cd and then do the terminal? [18:29] GNOME Icon Theme <-- does that mean a icon pack or a theme?

[18:30] eshaase: yep, php, perl, ruby ..... [18:30] im on ubuntu right now [18:30] sipior: some characters which i dont now what they are, tyhe screen is full of them and flashing [18:30] solar_george: but... there's no entry for /boot. Oo That's... wrong. [18:30] nosaj: best just to wipe it, as it is not very polite if the disk wasn't yours to begin with [18:31] nosaj: I think that qualifies as illegal activity, which isn't allowed here [18:31] danbhfive: because apache is kinda overkill, looking for something more lightweight [18:31] zackyramone: it's not a screensaver, is it? [18:31] true [18:31] solar_george: I've never directly manipulated /etc/mtab, anything special I need to do to add a /boot entry? [18:31] grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab From the gentoo handbook [18:31] prince_jammys: php, perl, ruby, i'd have to use apache no? [18:31] sipior: nono there re no screen savers. it does this from the log in screen onwrds but i cn see ubuntu loding before the log in screen [18:31] solar_george: trying. I didn't read that far up the handbook (I didn't want to b0rk up my ubuntu too bad..) [18:31] eshaase: well, you have to have SOMETHING to server the webpages, you either have to find a more lightwieght one, or program one yourself, neither of which I know anything about [18:32] nosaj: its illigal !!! [18:32] eshaase: not with ruby [18:32] eshaase: ruby on rails [18:32] zackyramone: hmm...you might try rebooting the machine, see if it clears up? [18:32] GNOME Icon Theme <-- does that mean an icon pack or a theme? it is a dumb question I know! [18:32] solar_george: looks like it worked. rebooting, lets see how well my ubuntu survived. [18:32] sipior: i'v tried rebooting mny times but its useless ??? [18:32] sipior: im relly confused right now [18:33] can linux run all video/audio formats (after installing free available codecs) that windows can run. .mpg .dat .avi .mp3 ? [18:33] zackyramone: i could tell by the question marks :) it's possible the machine has some hardware difficulty resulting from the unstable power [18:33] Picachoo yes === EliRibble is now known as Ender [18:33] Picachoo: it can run everything there is a codec for [18:33] zackyramone: it's hard to diagnose without data from the machine, however [18:33] prince_jammys: hmmm, ok thansk, i'll look into it [18:33] Picachoo: basically everything except DRMed .wmv [18:33] linux plays everything witht he proper drivers [18:33] sipior: so what shall i do to get the data? [18:34] nosaj Trinity Rescue Kit === EliRibble is now known as Ender [18:34] zackyramone: well, that's the trick, isn't it? if you can get that laptop on your network, you should be able to tell very quickly if the machine is responding properly. [18:34] eshaase look here for a comparison of lightweight webservers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_web_servers [18:34] Picachoo: yes u can...just open up the audio-vedio file in any player n ubuntu will install the needed codecs.... [18:34] noodlesgc: why have you told someone to use a rescue kit to configure grub ? [18:34] zackyramone: login, verify that system activity is more or less normal with "top" and friends === Ender is now known as STFU-Ender [18:35] if i've got 4 hdd's (3 sata, 1 ide) and i installed on sda [18:35] sipior: explain pls :) [18:35] should I have installed grub on hda?

[18:35] it's giving me an error 15 currently [18:35] Indiadev_Techie even .dat files? [18:35] zackyramone: that's about as simple as i can make it, i'm afraid. can you get the laptop on the network? [18:35] solar_george: that did the trick. Thanks. [18:35] zachyramone: the command "top" shows active processes [18:35] ikonia nosaj was talking about recovery, not grub [18:35] frank32 even .dat ? [18:35] Can anybody help me get conky working? [18:35] Picachoo: yes..may be..check it out... [18:35] noodlesgc: no he wasn't [18:36] no prob [18:36] Picachoo: what is a .dat?

[18:37] whats the command to extract a .tar.gz file? [18:37] noodlesgc so he wanted to see what was on it even though it had been wiped [18:37] In-Sane: tar zxvf [18:37] frank32: well, ive never seen one, except when downloading peer to peer a video might be temporarily stored as .dat [18:37] ikonia yes [18:37] Hi there! Been trying to figure this sound card problem out all day, but I have no luck at all. My problem is that I can't get any sound out from my laptop.

[18:48] s0u][ight: I only install it via the CD [18:48] s0u][ight: sudo apt-get install linux-headers will give you some alternatives [18:49] s0u][ight: Then choose the one you wan't [18:49] Ubuntu5446: just wondering what cpu speed or just the computer model info [18:49] phaidros: i gtg, drop me an email when you get the chance at eimhinsmyth@yahoo.ie [18:49] Imaginal: sorry,no [18:49] phaidros: or i might be on later [18:50] Reenen, what does it say in menu System/Admin/Screen and Graphics under Graphics tab? [18:50] I downloaded the theme, extract it on desktop, got many files, now, how do i change to the new theme? do i use preferences -> theme? [18:51] In-Sane, open Prefs/Appearance [18:51] go to themes and drag "zip" file into that window :) [18:51] ok, lemme try. [18:53] sipior: im on the laptop now === shr1k3 is now known as shr1k3_ [18:53] zackyramonee: great, can you open up a command terminal on windows? [18:53] ubuntuisloved: laptop, hp pavilion dv6436nr, 2x amd turion 64 x2, nvidia geforce go 6150, cpu frequency claims I am running at 1.80 GHz, system monitor claims that processor is at 90% use, though the chart is weird because there is a faded black and a bright blue coloring, seem to be different indicators, before upgrading the blue was usually up higher but now it never goes above a tenth within the black box [18:53] maximilion__: I can't see Appearance here, am on Ubuntu [18:53] hi how do i set an environmetn variable [18:53] with echo? [18:53] sipior: ok done [18:53] zackyramonee: should be in one of the applications menus [18:54] anton: VARIABLE=whateveryouwant [18:54] zackyramonee: try "ipconfig", and see what address it gives [18:54] WMII_SELCOLORS='#000000 #eaffff #8888cc' [18:54] lik this? [18:54] hey, how can i delete all the files in a directory called .swp recursively? [18:54] sipior: ifconfig [18:54] ikonia: not under windows it;s not [18:54] anton: quotes can be a problem [18:54] sipior: oooh windows [18:54] ikonia: try reading a little further back [18:55] jtaby rm -r name_of_dir/* [18:55] anton: set WMII_SELCOLORS='#000000 #eaffff #8888cc' [18:55] prince_jammys, wouldn't that delete the contents of the directory? [18:55] sipior: ok it gave me two ip adresses: one from the wireless network and the other from the LAN [18:55] jtaby isnt that what you want [18:55] prince_jammys, no, i just want to delete all the files called .swp [18:55] thx [18:55] oh sorry, my question was unclear [18:56] zackyramonee: assuming the linux box is connected to the wired LAN, that's the one we'll be wanting [18:56] anton: I might be wrong thou... [18:56] Anyone have a rough idea what level i should set the bandwidth limit for web browsing? [18:56] jtaby full name is ".swp" or that end in .swp? [18:56] thekidrio: thats up to you, your priorities and your connection and how many people share it [18:56] prince_jammys, full name [18:56] sipior: ok, so what should i do now? [18:56] ikonia: i am looking to limit the web browsing, but I don't want it too slow ya nkow [18:57] I need 64 bit driver for ndiswrapper with the usb wlan stick 3crusb20075. where can I get this? [18:57] zackyramonee: could you pm me the address? [18:57] thekidrio: as I said, thats down to you / your connection / what else you do / how many people use it - that up to you [18:57] zackyramonee: or put it on the channel, assuming it's not publicly visible [18:57] ikonia: not really all those factors, I want to know what a decent web browsing bandwidth is, does not matter how many users [18:57] jtaby: find dir_name -name '.swp' | xargs rm [18:57] anton: Should probably be export WMII_SELCOLORS='#000000 #eaffff #8888cc' [18:57] thekidrio: it does matter [18:57] thekidrio, the bigger the bandwidth, the faster it goes... [18:57] thekidrio: thats what I'm saying, and this is nothing to do with ubuntu [18:57] pike_ you there? [18:57] sipior: 192.168.2.1 but i dont think thats the right one [18:58] ubuntuisloved: was there other info you need? [18:58] sigh, never mind haha [18:58] zackyramonee: it probably is, actually [18:58] ok [18:58] sipior: 192.168.0.1 [18:58] jtaby: replace rm with "ls" before you do it to check that will delete what you want and no more [18:58] sipior:thats the right one [18:58] ubuntuisloved: besides what i just posted above [18:58] In-Sane, explore the menus at the top of the screen! You will find it :) [18:58] hello; i cannot change root pass of mysql data base [18:58] zackyramonee: now, fire up putty and try to connect to 192.168.0.2 [18:58] thanks all for help, bye [18:58] mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed [18:58] error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' [18:58] mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed [18:58] error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' [18:59] (sry for double paste) [18:59] maximilion__: I got it, thanks, I already set the new theme. I won't forget it thanks alot [18:59] using cmd myqladmin -u root -p pass [18:59] Hehe, cool 8) [18:59] qwerkus: thanks for the spam - is the server running, is the password set ? is the password set for user@localhost ? [18:59] sipior: nothing happened ??? [18:59] In-Sane, I have an OSX theme myself, it rocks :D [19:00] Picachoo: yeah something like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55885/ [19:00] zackyramonee: no error given? no "Connection refused"? [19:00] ubuntuisloved: are you still around? [19:00] maximilion__: lol, Yes. it does. [19:00] ikonia: server is running, and the point is resetting the password [19:00] sipior: network error: connection timed out [19:00] zackyramonee: yeah, not the right address. [19:00] zackyramonee: can you log onto the router itself? [19:00] Picachoo: only youd change the echo mycommand line to whatever. the only caveat is that i dunno how youd do this with sudo offhand so youd need to login as root which.. is a no no on open networks [19:00] sipior: yes that i can do [19:01] qwerkus: reseting the password has nothing to do with it 1.) have you SET the MYSQL (not ubuntu) root password 2.) is the user@host correct [19:01] could anyone help me get started with editing sql databases in ubuntu? [19:01] zackyramonee: check and see if the modem has a log of the ip addresses it has doled out. one will be for your laptop, another for your linux box [19:01] walla: much better bet in #mysql, for example [19:01] ikonia: where can i check this ? [19:01] qwerkus: check what, did you or did you not set the MYSQL root user password (not the ubuntu one) yes or no [19:02] qwerkus: you either did - or you didn't [19:02] how do i remove gnome? [19:02] unagi: apt-get remove gnome-desktop [19:02] zackyramonee: once you have that address, you should be able to log into your linux box. my *guess* is that there is a hardware problem with the display, either the monitor or the video card [19:02] unagi: I hope you have something else already installed [19:02] ikonia: this is an old install, and i guess a few years ago, everything has been set [19:02] kde [19:02] unagi: use synaptic to remove it all [19:02] Ubuntu5446: yea just very busy [19:02] qwerkus: try mysql -u root -p [19:02] will remove gnome-desktop remove all gnome apps? [19:02] sipior: Jan 1 00:00:36 pppd[563]: local IP address 194.106.93.199 [19:02] Jan 1 00:00:36 pppd[563]: remote IP address 192.168.168.107 [19:02] Jan 1 00:00:36 pppd[563]: primary DNS address 194.106.64.40 [19:02] Jan 1 00:00:36 pppd[563]: secondary DNS address 194.106.64.41 [19:02] pike_ thanks. what if the computer clients are windows and the server is linux? [19:02] zackyramonee: unfortunately, i really do have to run, so i'll wish you the best of luck in sorting things out [19:03] unagi: it will remove EVERYTHING as gnome apps depend on gnome, so if you remove gnome - the apps won't work [19:03] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [19:03] i want the apps gone too [19:03] sipior: ok thanks ill probably wait till i see you again [19:03] qwerkus: right so your password is most probably wrong [19:03] unagi: use synaptic and click what you want gone and hit remove all === magical_trevsky is now known as MRDANGER [19:03] that would be alot of clicking [19:03] ikonia: is it possible to read the database ? [19:03] ubuntuisloved: gotcha [19:04] qwerkus: if you have a valid user that has connect and read permissions, sure [19:04] theres no way to remove everything that is included in ubuntu but not in kubuntu? [19:04] qwekus: not if you cant log in [19:04] Ack. Damn laptop. [19:04] unagi: depends on dependencies, but yes as I've said, open synmaptic and remove all gnome apps [19:04] ikonia: so what are my options ? [19:04] so.....can anyone help me with my system that cannot show anything apart from flashing characters? [19:04] qwerkus: make sure the password is set properly === Chris_M is now known as ChrisM [19:04] qwerkus: get the right password [19:04] prince_jammys: how do i check this [19:04] qwerkus: re-install mysql [19:05] and as i have said that would be alot of clicking and figuring out which apps are ubuntu apps, so again, is there not a way to do it with a command? [19:05] i cannot ask myself for a lost pass [19:05] Picachoo: it wont work [19:05] unagi: yes, but you have to call out the packages [19:05] so i guess i have to reinstall [19:05] pike_ whynot [19:05] qwerkus: if you don't know the password - your out of luck [19:05] which packet ? mysql-server ? [19:05] Picachoo: er wont work on windows unless youre running cygwin or something youd need an ssh server [19:05] qwerkus: you may want to join #mysql and see if they will offer more advanced options [19:06] ok [19:06] i will do that [19:06] qwerkus: quick answers with "sudo apt-get install mysql-doc-5.0" and then in a browser::/usr/share/doc/mysql-doc-5.0/refman-5.0-en.html-chapter/index.html [19:06] ChrisM: any luck? [19:06] thanks a lot [19:06] Nope. [19:06] qwerkus: easy tutorial gets you started [19:06] Errr [19:06] MasterShrak: Nope. [19:06] :( [19:06] Picachoo: for windows the pstools are really nice i dunno if you can run em with wine but psshutdown.exe is a handy executable [19:07] ChrisM: what happened before this that made it not work? [19:07] remove ubuntu desktop didnt work [19:07] ubuntu-desktop-data perhaps? [19:07] unagi: no - use synaptic or apt-cache to search for the correct package names [19:07] unagi: there will be a LOT [19:07] MAsterShrak: Seems no one knows a fix. Not Launchpad, Ubuntuforums or anything else. I can't afford to do a reformat as 100% of all my work documents are on there. Including my work numbers and client information. [19:08] ChrisM: was this after an upgrade or something that it doesnt work now? like maybe your kernel getting upgraded? [19:08] MasterShrak: All I did was click "Update" in the System Update window. [19:08] i dont understand [19:08] MasterShrak: What I updated was the Linux Kernel Headers. [19:08] unagi: to remove the package you need to know the correct package name [19:08] ChrisM: try using the other kernel, not the recovery one, but the other normal one [19:08] unagi: so you'll need to use synaptic to search and select for the packages, or apt-cache to search for the packages then apt-get remove to remove them [19:08] right but if all i had to do to install kubuntu was install kubuntu-desktop, why is there not an easy way to remove ubuntu [19:09] MasterShrak: Can't use any kernels, even the older ones. They produce the same errors. [19:09] ChrisM, what is the issue you are having after the kernal headers update? [19:09] unagi remove ubuntu-desktop [19:10] unagi: or whatever the correct gnome package name is [19:10] unagi: thats why I said "search" [19:10] sup [19:10] unagi: that won't remove everything due to dependencies [19:10] ubuntu-desktop-data is the closest [19:10] unagi: thats not it [19:10] ChrisM: you could do a chroot from the livecd and reinstall the kernel packages maybe [19:11] <_slacker_> hi guys, were can i get info about ubuntu backports??????

[19:21] it became slow once i upgraded from feisty to gutsy a few days ago [19:21] i can give a description of the bleeding.. it's like a plasma effect moving inward with scattered pixels [19:22] to clarify: origionally, the PCM volume control was not changable (alsamixer would not let me mute or change its volume), after my most recent apt-get upgrade, it now lets me change the volume of the PCM control, but it does not actually effect the volume in any way, and it still cannot be muted - any ideas?

[19:31] Chris_M: So root (hd0,0) kernel ...........root=/dev/hda1 didnt work [19:31] !upstart | kwrobel2008 [19:31] kwrobel2008: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [19:31] The links to my harddrives which used to reside on my desktop have disappeared. Some info is that they were appearing last night and they are NTFS volumes which are automounted via fstab [19:32] Jack_Sparrow: should be sda, fdisk -l from the livecd didnt have any hda's [19:32] They also no longer appear in "My Computer" [19:32] is kiosk in kubuntu ? preinstalled [19:32] OK, I am starting to get confused. Too many things thrown at me at once. [19:32] MasterShrak: I'm joined in #upstart, but seems to be quite inactive [19:32] MasterShrak: agreed, but my sda show up in grub as hda [19:32] kwrobel2008: upstart.ubuntu.com ? [19:32] fstabb: Maybe something like this /dev/hda1 /mnt/win ntfs nls=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0 [19:32] Jack_Sparrow: interesting, was not aware, maybe i should pay more attention to my fstab =) [19:32] hi to all [19:32] MasterShrak: I may have a bios conversion going on... [19:33] Blue_Sassley. I chanced it to that and nothing works. [19:33] ubotu: I have a specific question and am stuck with how to proceed [19:33] kwrobel2008: ubotu is a bot, he wont answer you :) [19:33] Jack_Sparrow, I tried HDA1 originally thanks to a guy on the Forums, but it did not work. [19:33] kwrobel2008: ask your question, maybe someone can help [19:33] trying to solve my audio problems I discovered that the folder ALSA in my home directory is missing .... is that possible? [19:34] MasterShrak: Some sda comtrollers have bios options to emulated ide etc [19:34] I have Ubuntu server. Can log on with putty. I am in it now using irssi. But if I hook a monitor and keyboard to it I don't get the login: just a _ I can press Enter and it will do a line feed. But no commands can do. Any one know a fix? [19:34] MasterShrak: Newb to IRC. Thx. [19:34] fstabb: Or replace nls=iso8859-1 with codepage=850 [19:35] kwrobel2008: everyone learns sometime :) [19:35] in /etc/fstab i have written > /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 ntfs-3g defaults,force,iso8952,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0, but when i use winscp to transfer smoe files, it is some strange words. no swedish words. [19:35] !ubotu > kwrobel2008 [19:35] Jack_Sparrow: This just started this morning with an update for the Linux-Headers which popped up sometime between last night and this morning. [19:35] MasterShrak: Alright. Here goes: [19:36] FranzJesus: i dont hava a nls [19:36] i installed airport-utils, but no matter what util I run it dies without displaying a window. any pointers on how to fix this? [19:36] fstabb: What happenes you browse in nautilus ? [19:36] i have a question about proftpd's umask 022 which will generate 664 on the files and 755 on directory, how could i get 755 for the files, i have tested umask 0775 but that do not work [19:36] I'd like to run a backup script I wrote, but bring "down" Ubuntu to avoid any crucial processes making changes [19:36] tomtt: run it from a terminal and see if it gives you an error [19:36] is it possible to reinstall alsa completely ? [19:36] FranzJesus: everything is ok [19:37] fstabb: Then there is probably some setting in winscp... [19:37] Then, after the script finished, I'd like to bring it back to its original "runlevel" [19:37] what apps should a good net cafe have, from your point of view? [19:37] <[dcr]> @_@ [19:37] FranzJesus: u think? ok, trying ftp then [19:37] Petengy: I can help with that if you like [19:37] could it be some ssh error? [19:37] Picachoo: a word processor and a web browser [19:37] hi guys! is there any experienced GNASH user here that can tell me more about it? [19:37] jack-desktop, hi nice to meet u again :) [19:37] maybe an im client [19:37] fstabb: Don't think so [19:37] <[dcr]> Is the game CABAL Online compatible with Ubuntu?

[19:39] Picachoo: firefox, pidgin, openoffice [19:39] brobostigon and ? [19:40] fstabb: What happenes if you connect throw ssh on the same machine ? [19:40] Petengy: cd alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3 then ... ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel && make and then ... sudo make install and then sudo cp ./modules/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/ubuntu/media/snd- [19:40] FranzJesus: testing [19:40] How can I get lsraid? [19:40] On boot mine stopps at "* Running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local)" can type but only see my typing. [19:40] where do i find out if unbuntu finds my wireless card? [19:41] Picachoo: you asked for ideal net cafe apps, i told you [19:41] Jack_Sparrow, I install the archives in .allsa folder in home dir ? [19:41] k [19:41] OH wow. OK. Wtf just happened. [19:41] FranzJesus: ssh to localhost works fine, all swedish words are correct. i guess winspc is the error [19:41] Chris_M: ? [19:42] Petengy: hda-intel/ and then ... sudo depmod -a .... and then ... [19:42] fstabb: Have you tried using cmd scp on same computer ? [19:42] Petengy: i JUST SAVED MINE TO THE DESKTOP [19:42] MAsterShrak: I just chose the previous version of the linux kernel and it now works? When before, it didn't? [19:42] Sorry for the caps [19:42] Jack_Sparrow, ok perfect [19:42] FranzJesus: no, i dont know how to use it, i can try [19:42] Chris_M: very weird, i was guessing that would probably do it for you, but you must have changed something in your menu.lst that made it work [19:42] Petengy: At the end I needed to use synaptic to remove and reload libsound2 [19:43] MAsterShrak: Hopefully me changing the kernel doesn't effect my Virtual MAchines of Mac OSX, XP and 2003. [19:43] Chris_M: vmware? [19:43] MAsterShrak: Innotek VirtualBox. [19:43] Chris_M: hard to say for sure, your vm [19:44] 's will be ok [19:44] Petengy: http://pastebin.com/d2017f4e4 is a script to update the alsa drivers [19:44] MAsterShrak: The GDM, Wallpaper, Icons, and Theme all work. [19:44] but vbox may need to be reconfigured, if it got configured to the new kernel [19:44] fstabb: use scp username@hostname:/path/to/file /where/to/put/file [19:44] FranzJesus: i tried to connect through ftp, same errors [19:45] MAsterShrak: Conky works. So far so good. [19:45] fstabb: hmm... ok [19:45] I need to get wireless working in gutsy gibbon... I remember having a really hard time with it on edgy eft [19:45] Jack_Sparrow, I have to word to say u TnX :) [19:45] to=no [19:45] Chris_M: none of those have to do with kernel modules like vbox does though [19:45] is it a pita like it used to be? [19:45] MasterShrek: Well, you're correct. Haha. Vbox pops up the error. [19:45] Petengy: Keep that script you may need it again' [19:45] hi [19:46] ive got a problem. Savage with SEP3T (a game) randomly crashes. sometimes freezing my entire computer and my monitor reports no signal, sometimes freezing the screen. Ive got Radeon driver but i added that no texture compression option to startup script. please help me. [19:46] Jack_Sparrow, I'll do :) [19:46] Chris_M: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-ose [19:46] FranzJesus: when i create files with åäö in usercatalog, and connect from another host, the special symbols is wrong to. guess it has nothing to do with the mount then [19:47] MAsterShrak: It's telling me to set up the kernel again using sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root, executing it. [19:47] FranzJesus: ubuntu is using utf right? and windows iso8859?. hmpfh. [19:47] MAsterShrak. It shouldn't messup the VM's. [19:47] Chris_M: do what it says then [19:47] Chris_M: no your vm's will be fine [19:47] ive got a problem.

[20:09] ahorriblemess: you dont necessarily need to designate a seperate /home partition. if you dont specify it /home will simply be a directory under / [20:09] kwrobel2008: yes, but that was some months ago [20:09] ineedhelp: just right click on top panel, add panel option will come up [20:09] dgjones: thanks. not working but will keep trying [20:09] i have no panel to right click [20:09] that is the problem [20:09] ScorpKing, if you're on gutsy here's the correct link https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/network-file-system.html [20:09] jimcooncat: Yeah I know. With so many howtos and tutorials and solutions it's hard to keep track of information [20:10] ineedhelp: do you have bottom panel, i had this problem earlier [20:10] ScorpKing, i mount using fstab (i know you're on the livecd) but my command is server:/media/removable /media/Backup nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0 [20:10] jimcooncat: Reason why I ask specifically about upstart is because it's Ubuntu's replacement for SystemV Init process [20:10] kwrobel2008: it was about the time when I was studying drobbins tutorials on ibm, but I don't recall if it was from there === ubuntuu is now known as serqiu [20:10] how come a bunch of random ports are intermittedly opening on my machine? [20:10] no [20:11] i have no panel at all [20:11] that is what my problem is [20:11] Section "InputDevice" [20:11] Identifier "Generic Keyboard" [20:11] Driver "kbd" [20:11] Option "CoreKeyboard" [20:11] Option "XkbRules" "xorg" [20:11] Option "XkbModel" "pc105" [20:11] kyohe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:11] jimcooncat: It's event driven, and I was HOPING to be able to use it to create a job that accomplishes exactly that: shutdown, run backup, restart [20:11] !enter [20:11] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:11] keyboard - lags (sorry my english) [20:12] jimcooncat: (that's of course greatly oversimplified) [20:12] dgjones: yeah, i've done it a lot of times before but not sure what's going on today. i'll try fstab then === Jannita is now known as Johanna [20:12] kwrobel2008: then you might want to do it before upstart is loaded, with init [20:12] Kibbles, what ports? ubuntu doesn't open any by default === Fyda is now known as Fryda [20:12] Zeidan: they're opening all over the place, according to "network tools">port scan [20:12] jimcooncat: really want to avoid messing with grub/menu.lst and reboot. Don't want to jeopardize that server won't come up again [20:13] Zeidan: mostly in the 5 digit area, and mostly for a couple of seconds at a time. [20:13] Zeidan: nmap sees none of this [20:13] kwrobel2008: well, what you're proposing is fairly dangerous anyway :-) === laura is now known as laurica [20:13] is it possible to give each "desktop" a different background? [20:13] jimcooncat: Well, you talk to my boss [20:13] ScorpKing, just a thought try "sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart", also does the machine you're trying to mount have a restiction on what ip address/hostname can connect via nfs? [20:14] What do people reckon for swap space when I have 1.5gb of ram? [20:14] Kibbles, perhaps you're seeing the outgoing ports? I don't know "network tools">port scan, and I'm not on ubuntu so i cannot check [20:14] jimcooncat: He's a Mac user and has a program called SuperDuper [20:14] i say .5gb of ram [20:14] err [20:14] swap [20:14] :P [20:14] give yourself 512 swap [20:14] Kibbles, but you can configure nmap to do a very intensive scan, it never missed a port for me [20:14] Zeidan: how would i test that theory in nmap? [20:14] thanks :) [20:14] Hi, I'm having a problem with suspend on 7.10: When I resume, I'm back at the log-in screen. I've googled for this problem, but found no solution so far. [20:14] kwrobel2008: what's the end result of what you're trying to accomplish? maybe there's an alternative way [20:14] jimcooncat: Which runs a backup to an external HD while the OS is up, even makes it bootable [20:14] arnath01: Yes with gnome + compiz. But KDE can do it with kwin. [20:15] ScorpKing, with you using the livecd, maybe the hostname/ip isn't an allowed one [20:15] anyone here who knows something about wireless networking? I found a launchpad comment that will maybe fix my problem, but I don't really understand what it does. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/144621/comments/42, and I'd be grateful if someone takes a look :) [20:15] Odd-rationale: assuming it's gnome+compiz, how would one go about it? :D [20:15] my panels [20:15] are gone [20:15] jimcooncat: I wrote a script called bootbak that repartitions an external HD and dumps the entire filesystem to it, [20:15] kwrobel2008: so you want a snapshotted backup? [20:15] how do i get them back? [20:15] jimcooncat: rewrites /etc/fstab and /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst [20:15] what does "repackaging the git HEAD of linux-ubuntu-modules package for gutsy" mean... [20:15] (on the external media of course) [20:15] Kibbles, don't have nmap here right now either, but I did it last time at work and it worked, I had modified the ports on a quite low level and it still detected them [20:15] dgjones: nope. that's not it. it will say permission denied in that case [20:16] jimcooncat: and write a MBR to it (with grub-install) === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- [20:16] Zeidan: wish you could remember the command [20:16] Kibbles, sorry can't but it's all in the manpage, believe me [20:16] Zeidan: i'm using "nmap -AP0 localhost" [20:16] jimcooncat: At the end, the calling script will even send out an email to our admins that the backup has finished (with the log file attached to the email) [20:16] Okay, I have a more or less brand new HP (G6000) laptop, and I've just installed Ubuntu on it (I never even booted into the Vista install that came with it). I'm getting <2 hours of battery life with Ubuntu, and gnome-power-manager tells me that the battery has a "Poor" capacity of 51%. Could this just be an Ubuntu bug, or is the battery definitely faulty? Is there any way of checking (other than installing Windows and seeing how the battery does in Windows)? [20:16] Kibbles, try scanning from another machine, scanning localhost is always troublesome [20:16] arnath01: open ccsm and go to desktop cube. Under the appearence tab and serval images to background image [20:16] join @zwhlug [20:16] my panels are gone, how do i get them back? [20:17] jimcooncat: I spent at least 3 days to get this script running [20:17] Odd-rationale: ah thanks :) [20:17] Kibbles, you can even detect ports between applications when you scan localhost(stupid but true) [20:17] ineedhelp: try ALT-F2 and type "gnome-panel" [20:17] it didnt work [20:17] I have the same problem as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636003 [20:17] jimcooncat: Had the idea from somebody who wrote something very similar as a PERL program [20:17] how can i install gutsy on a software raid5 system? [20:17] guys I have downloaded envy and install, how can i load it, can't see the command [20:17] Zeidan: thanks, will try. figured it would be best (it IS an auditing tool, after all:)) [20:17] I can suspend fine, but when I wake up again, I'm back at the log-in screen [20:17] anyone to recommend a really good adblocker for ubuntu? [20:18] david: Are you using firefox? [20:18] yes [20:18] david: adblockplus for firefox [20:18] for firefox [20:18] david: for firefox:adblock-plus [20:18] !tty [20:18] yes,ff :) [20:18] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [20:18] !envy | Bad [20:18] kwrobel2008: that's quite a script. So why runlevel 1, to make sure nothing's using the files when you backup? [20:18] Bad: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [20:18] use adblockplus and noscript firefox extensions [20:18] ok ;) thanks [20:18] you will almost never get an add [20:18] jimcooncat: EXACTLY. That's the point. [20:18] actually it is adblock plus [20:18] dgjones: this is what i'm trying - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DDtoNFS - i created that page btw [20:18] trying to change audio volume I receive this message "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." some ideas ?? [20:18] jimcooncat: And yes, that IS quite a script [20:18] some pages are even unusable due to ads [20:18] yea i know [20:18] david: Your options are Adblock Plus FF addon, use privaoxy, or use a custom /etc/hosts file [20:19] kwrobel2008: there's an easier way [20:19] like 5 google ad as a header [20:19] lol [20:19] jimcooncat: I'm a programmer (do almost everything, from Visual Basic to RPG to COBOL, and now bash scripts...) [20:19] omg [20:19] *privoxy [20:19] hellol [20:19] i will try reboot X and see if i get my panel back [20:20] kwrobel2008: you would have to have your filesystems on lvm, then you can create a snapshot which would freeze the filesystem. Then you can backup the snapshot [20:20] hey [20:20] My audio device is [20:20] I have an audio device that can't use the microphone00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [20:20] can someone help me? [20:20] Hey everyone. [20:20] jimcooncat: Alright. Let me 'splain what happen'd [20:20] kwrobel2008: Only catch is if you have mysql or postgresql running you have to dump them first [20:20] AdBlockPlus - is that payware? [20:20] jimcooncat: got your cup of coffee ready (or tea)? [20:20] i can :d [20:20] I'm running this through irssi, since my GUI isn't working. [20:20] david: no [20:20] ScorpKing, i see you're installing portmap, do you also need the nfs-kernel-server? [20:20] david no [20:21] kwrobel2008: yes, but it's cold [20:21] I already tried to install Linux-backports-modules but that didn't work [20:21] any1 here familiar with nmap? [20:21] twiztr, hey:d [20:21] how can i install gutsy on a software raid5 system? [20:21] jimcooncat: I actualy had LVM2 installed 2 weeks ago. Yet, it was a Debian "etch" then [20:21] I just got a new LCD screen, but it's highest res is 1024x800 or w/e. My old CRT was set to 12**x**, and now I can't access my GUI. [20:21] twizrt, need help [20:21] !raid | liquid [20:21] liquid: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:21] I really want to get my audio capture working [20:21] The screen says Input Signal Out Of Range [20:21] dgjones: portmap is only to speed things up. you only need nfs-kernel-server on the server afaik. booting a 7.04 cd now [20:21] jimcooncat: Then, I ran an update+upgrade (apt-get update, apt-get upgrade) [20:21] And help? [20:22] jimcooncat: And that was THE END!!! [20:22] twiztr: tried editing xorg.conf? [20:22] jimcooncat: Or should I say, the beginning [20:22] twiztr, you need to get into CLI and change a setting in your xorg.conf [20:22] Kibbles: I don't know how too. Also, I don't really know a whole bunch about how to do stuff on command line. [20:22] twiztr, very nasty business [20:22] Is there a way to re run the setup thing? [20:23] jimcooncat: My boss decided that we needed a bootable external backup solution pronto so that this wouldn't happen again if an update messes up the system [20:23] The GDM one... I think that's what I had to do when I replaced my video card. [20:23] twiztr: I think sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:23] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:23] jimcooncat: so far so good. I install Ubuntu Gutsy Server to avoid having that issue again. Found mkbkup.pl (google it) [20:24] jimcooncat: Perfect program. Only: It didn't support LVM [20:24] livecd question [20:24] jimcooncat: Nor did it support UUIDs [20:24] kwrobel2008: I can understand, I have the same idea but I'm using another whole computer as a backup. [20:24] ScorpKing, not sure what to suggest, i'll have a think anyway [20:24] kwrobel2008: to avoid what issue again? [20:24] Thank god for the ctrl+alt fxs. [20:24] ttys* [20:25] dgjones: thanks anyway. i think there are some things not loaded on the 7.10 disk. will let you know ;) [20:25] jimcooncat: yes. I looked at those solutions too. Anyway, I started writing my own script (I AM A CONTROL FREAK, really) [20:25] Also, what xserver should I use for a ati x1550 card? [20:25] Kibbles: That the Debian update would not create the init-ramfs properly and wouldn't recognize LVM [20:25] Friends have you got filter for email forward in exim? [20:26] kwrobel2008: There's some nice tools on SystemRescueCD (actually the tools are available in Ubuntu too). One in particular, I think it's call sfdisk, can back up your partitioning scheme [20:26] I have tried the 7.10 server liveCD, 7.10 liveDVD - when I boot my old system with one of these two discs, it immediately blanks the screen out - ctrl alt del is the only key combination that works. any thoughts? I am downloading the alternate cd now, but i was hoping I could just use the standard disc. [20:26] I'm thinking Vesa, but I don't want to be wrong, and fuck it up. [20:26] Kibbles: ( I was really upset about that to say the least as I had spent several weeks just learning about postfix, dovecot, and so forth to get our new email server up and running [20:26] kwrobel2008: I leave the MBR alone and make my /boot partition bootable [20:26] jimcooncat: I know SystemRescue CD [20:27] jimcooncat: And that's exactly it. It's a CD. The goal is TOTAL AUTOMATION. [20:27] kwrobel2008: and you built it in a vm? [20:27] I would just google it, but I don't have a gui. :( [20:27] james12534: could be ram problem, could be cd burn speed (try burning the alternate at 4x) ... some possibilities [20:27] twiztr: vesa will work for most stuff [20:27] anybody russian here? [20:27] twiztr apt-get install elinks [20:27] jimcooncat: Me too. It's the MBR on the external HD I'm modifying/writing [20:27] twiztr: Sorry to come into this late, what was the problem [20:27] !ru [20:27] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:27] prince_jammys: the both discs work in other systems... [20:28] Kibbles: LVM2 - Logical Volume Manager [20:28] I have an old nVidia AGP card in the system. [20:28] kwrobel2008: that's my point, why not just do your external HD the same way? [20:28] * Kibbles wacks himself [20:28] oh man! this is fantastic [20:28] james12534: doesn't matter, sometimes a cd will work in one machine and not in another - try burning slow [20:28] noscript and adbloc plus just work [20:28] damn [20:28] twiztr: or apt-get install lynx [20:28] twiztr you can google with no gui [20:28] Jack_Sparrow: I have to reconfig my xserver, since my new screen won't display, since it wont do higher res then 1024, and I dont know what xserver to use for a ati x1550 card [20:28] thanks a lot [20:28] david: welcome to peace with your browser [20:28] :) [20:29] this is divine [20:29] prince_jammys: thanks. no other thoughts though? just thought I'd check. [20:29] jimcooncat: I did. I had a Seagate FreeAgent GO hooked up (160GB), the internal drive being an 80GB drive [20:29] twiztr: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa NO ATI 1024 x 768 to get back basic gui [20:29] !sourc [20:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about sourc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:29] james12534: i don't know about this -- but i've had that problem and had success after reburning (read about it in the forums) [20:29] !source [20:29] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [20:30] james12534: I think it might be a usplash bug. Hit F6 at the boot prompt and replace "quiet splash" with "nosplash" in the prompt [20:30] jimcooncat: I had LVM2 install, so I added the external drive to the volume group, created a snapshot logical volume and then tried to back it up [20:30] prince_jammys: yes, I saw that a couple of times in the forums too... [20:30] jimcooncat: I received kernel errors and the copy command didn't copy anything [20:30] Starnestommy: I don't get a boot prompt at all. [20:30] james12534: worth a try, and seems to make a difference with some cd drives/computers [20:30] Starnestommy: I don't get the menu with Install, check cd, Safe mode, etc. [20:30] jimcooncat: That when I read that adding an external drive to a volumegroup wasn't the best idea [20:31] james12534: F6 at start ot install is what I think he means [20:31] dgjones: it works on the 7.04 disk and there's no nfs packages installed. weird [20:31] Jack_Sparrow: hehe, I don't get that far. [20:31] I don't even get a chance to see the menu to hit Enter on the "install ubuntu" option. hehhe [20:31] im trying to install a bin file how would i do so? [20:31] james12534: If you dont get the the first screen then you have a bad burn or bad download [20:31] And of course, I already had the entire primary disk partitioned, so I wasn't able to at least create the scnapshot on that drive either [20:31] stephen-mason: what app is it first of all? [20:31] kwrobel2008: I wouldn't add it to a volumegroup. I'd just have the computer's hd using lvm, then mount the external and back up the snapshot to it [20:31] I am a big mess [20:31] Jack_Sparrow: thanks. I will try a reburn. [20:31] can anyone tell how can i download the source code of ubuntu in Windows [20:31] ? [20:31] (quick test; please ignore) [20:32] wgw: ignored. [20:32] jimcooncat: see above [20:32] planeshift [20:32] pike: planet shift [20:32] Xman: eaxh program has seperate source code and ubuntu doesn't host most of it [20:32] *each [20:32] Xman: Source code for all of ubuntu.. all the packages that make ubuntu or just the iso of the cd [20:32] Xman, packages.ubuntu.com [20:32] 8.2 ATI available... [20:32] Starnestommy, ubuntu hosts all the source code [20:32] It worked! :D [20:33] Thanks everyone. ^.^ [20:33] np [20:33] Starnestommy, including used patches, inline with GPL and other licenses requiring it [20:33] stephen-mason: chmod +x planeshift.bin or right click and make executable in properties. if yoiu then ls -l in terminal youll see the x executable bit is set now on that file (left column) [20:33] Trying to install 7.10 Server on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 and am getting "No disk drive was detected." I am not using hardware raid (want to use software)... Any ideas? Tried using the megaraid_sas drive, which did not work. [20:33] stephen-mason: try ./name [20:33] Hai. Whenever I open nautilus, it shows for like 1/10 of a second, then dies.. [20:33] suggestions for a wysiwyg web page creation program ? [20:33] Well, I'm off to the GUI we all know and love. [20:33] Stevethepirate, open it from a terminal [20:33] Jack_Sparrow: i just want the code of ubuntu linuxto understand its working [20:33] Whitor: NVU === cloud__ is now known as ChaosMachine [20:33] Whitor: quanta web [20:33] Xman, you can download all the sourcecode from packages.ubuntu.com [20:33] twiztr, NVU doesn't show up in Synaptic ... [20:33] twiztr: That is just basic mode, you are not yet running the ati drivers [20:33] Whitor: I think it's the best free one, but just Google it, you will find a long. [20:33] Sigh [20:33] long list.* [20:33] Then get the .deb package [20:34] PriceChild: It just crashs. [20:34] Like. [20:34] Perma-hang. [20:34] Stevethepirate, start it in a terminal and read what it says [20:34] jimcooncat: Ok, got myself another cup of coffee [20:34] ok hold up, pike? im a noob with terminle, need a bit more help whats what? [20:34] :) [20:34] PriceChild: I can't. [20:34] Stevethepirate, why not? [20:34] Whole system crash. [20:34] ow i might hape it [20:34] Or hang, at least. [20:35] stephen-mason: Applications > Accessories > Terminal? [20:35] stephen-mason, no idea then. [20:35] Hello. Does anyone know if asus' pundit P2-P5945GCX run's with ubuntu? If so, i'd like to buy one. But yet I haven't found any information on that. [20:35] Whitor: yeah you have to get NVU from the internet, or get the windows version and run it in wine [20:35] kwrobel2008: I just looked at /etc/rc.local maybe you can run you script there? [20:35] when it comes to the instalation dir it says this user doesnt have permission? [20:35] hi, how do i mount my nokia under linux, mount dont seem to find it and fdisk says its has free space, but its not free [20:35] grrr [20:35] stephen-mason: sudo ./filename.bin ? [20:35] kwrobel2008: oops, that runs at the end of the runlevel. sorry [20:35] jimcooncat: It does run for every "multi-user" runlevel. I saw that too, jim [20:36] how do i tell movie playing application to open a DVD file not mounted on normal mount point ? [20:36] its mounted at /home/boris/Templates [20:36] Acidic32: use obexftp [20:36] and nothing will play it [20:36] i have /dev/sdb but not /dev/sdb1 or anything [20:36] this whole runlevel issue is still a bit beyond me, not to mention that it's practically replaced by upstart in Ubuntu [20:36] what does ./ mean? [20:36] boris:i believe with in the File menu at the top of the window [20:36] ./ == run in shell [20:37] My openoffice is broke: special character "à" in times roman gets displayed as double cross. Nothing else affected; in bold it comes out properly as à. [20:37] kwrobel2008: well, I would think you'd be able to insert a script before upstart runs. Only thing is that you'd need support for your external hd at that time [20:37] stephen-mason, means: look in current directory ONLY :) [20:37] stephen-mason: dot: the current directory [20:37] prince_jammys: in what program ?

[20:39] Xman, package.ubuntu.com doesn't exist. Use packages.ubuntu.com [20:39] Try that, might be an OO bug, maybe upgrade OO? Does it work in gedit? [20:39] (this is hair-raising communication!)

After getting my restricted drivers back in and putting in my backed up xorg.conf, I can't start compiz, and I kinda need it. [20:41] whats the latest apt upgrade include [20:41] PriceChild: actually i mean the linux source code not for the other packages [20:41] wgw, but check in gedit first :) [20:41] Xman, for example, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/utils/gizmod links to the .dsc, .tar.gz and .diff.gz [20:41] Xman: that repo is already enabled and yet i cant find libdvdcss2 [20:41] has anybody edited an apt.conf before... or knows a good website on how to get stuff done on one?

[20:44] !compiz | yaro [20:44] yaro: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [20:44] yaro, might be helpful if people are told how its broken. [20:44] I'd like that any process that reaches 500Mb of memory will be killed. any hint about how to configure ubuntu for that? [20:45] jimcooncat: not to mention: the internal HD is (only) 80GB and the external drive is 250GB. Ahuh???? [20:45] is that true Priceshild :D [20:45] pzn I think that rlimit might help you. [20:45] !rlimit [20:45] <___Oz___> Hi, all! [20:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about rlimit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:45] PriceChild: Well, I explained what I did above, and I get the the "Compiz won't start" error that the appearances settings give me. They worked before I screwed everything up. [20:45] !ask > ___Oz___ [20:45] jimcooncat: so I probably COULD put three versions of my internal drive on that [20:45] So I just installed Ubuntu 7.10, installed the ati fglrx drivers, then installed xserver-xgl for compiz, and now my direct rendering is broken. The xorg.conf did not change, and direct rendering worked before i installed xserver-xgl, is there any way to fix this? [20:45] yaro, try the compiz channel please [20:45] macabro22: I did 1.0.15 from source this am with no issues other than reloading libsound2 [20:45] <___Oz___> What's the command again to download all those codecs I might need for watching movies with various codecs that Ubuntu doesn't have [20:45] <___Oz___> ? [20:45] kwrobel2008: you could. But you'd want three for safety [20:45] <___Oz___> seems like there is a command line thing or something. [20:45] yaro: open a terminal, and run: glxinfo | grep direct [20:45] !enter ___Oz___ [20:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about enter ___oz___ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:46] kwrobel2008: I mean three external drives [20:46] !enter | ___Oz___ [20:46] ___Oz___: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:46] Hi.. I was interesting in trying Ubuntu Hoary.. is there anyway to install it from Gutsy onto a spare partition? Without a cd? [20:46] ___Oz___: Dude. Theres like .. google. it helps. [20:46] max: thanks for the suggestions; I'm getting dizzy and will have to sign off. this is tough to follow! [20:46] I think its hoary.. whatever the latest is [20:46] jimcooncat: but if money is not an object, who am I to argue? Besides, it'll make it easier at least for my script, as I only have to change drive letters [20:46] <___Oz___> neverblue: sorry... I try. But I often forget. [20:46] ___Oz___: sudo aptidue install ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:46] <___Oz___> Steve: just tried. [20:46] Dezine: Any reason for wanting Hoary? [20:46] wgw, check your OpenOffice version(help/about). Then go to System/Admin/Synaptic and click the binoculars, search for openoffice (or open console and type sudo apt-get install openoffice) [20:46] <___Oz___> Please, I just need the command line [20:46] ___Oz___: I tried this afternoon. [20:46] <___Oz___> Not a sermon [20:46] !eol | Dezine [20:46] Dezine: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/LifeCycle [20:46] Stevethepirate: what it that? no package named rlimit and "man rlimit" does not return anything...

[20:46] hehe [20:47] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Digital_Freedom_Now_Has_a_Powerful_Voice_You [20:47] Xman, no problem [20:47] wgw, In Synaptic you should be able to select reinstall if you already have the latest version. The font is probably OK === rahal_ is now known as rahal [20:47] ok [20:47] <___Oz___> neverblue: already have read that. [20:47] I will try a reinstall [20:47] when installing MadWifi, i need to take down my wireless interface. but ath0 and wfi0 (or any other number for that matter) doesnt exist. so when i try to remove the wifi module, it says FATAL: wifi module is in use... any hints? [20:47] kwrobel2008: what are you using for a filesystem on the internal hd? [20:47] Is it at all possible to install from my current install to another drive? [20:47] Of everything or just openoffice.org? [20:47] jimcooncat: He figures: A tape backup solution costs $1,000 > and a "professional" software solution would add another $300-$400 to the tap. [20:47] !medibuntu > ___Oz___ [20:47] ___Oz___, then you wouldnt be asking the question you are asking, maybe review the Edgy guide, it will explain it in there (for sure) [20:47] <___Oz___> the problem is when you try to search for info on ubuntu, most of the stuff that's on google is outdated already. I needed the one-line aptitude command and I was given that... thank you. This is the best way to get that info. [20:47] !medibuntu | ___Oz___ [20:47] ___Oz___: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:47] kwrobel2008: I got very sick of the tape systems [20:47] <___Oz___> Ah, yes, medibuntu! I keep forgetting its name. [20:47] PriceChild: If i would get any problem in future, i'll report it to u again. :) [20:48] try just OpenOffice, or if there is an option "character set" or something then select that instead. [20:48] <___Oz___> neverblue: I'd still be asking it. Besides, I'm running gutsy, not edgy. [20:48] can any1 listen to me [20:48] hello [20:48] actually i m a very new user ..i even dont know if i m on right thread...here it goes i installed ubuntu gutsy yesterday and the sonund is not working at all..laptop is lenovo y series ...sound card is being detected....checked by lspci....sound not available to root even [20:48] jimcooncat: so he would just buy 5 or 6 external HDs for $110 each, makes $660, so it's still cheaper [20:48] gnash, I hear you.

[20:49] gnash: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:49] i checked alsamixer [20:49] jimcooncat: tape?

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.

[20:54] Hi, I want to know if have the latest/best graphics for my onboard graphics adaptor [20:55] pike_: although, our primary motive is to avoid moving a monitor into the data center. i dont nessecarily need to avoid CDs, but i wont have a mouse / monitor directly attached [20:55] anyone know why my dvd burner want burn dvd but it does burn cd [20:55] jimcooncat: I want a cron job that shuts down all services (like apache, postfix, dovecot, clamav, amavis-new to mention a few), runs my backup script, then brings all services back up [20:55] u there neverblue [20:55] PriceChild: thanks [20:55] jimcooncat: And yes, I probably could just simply run their respective scripts in /etc/init.d and be done with it [20:56] kdc1956, whats the error, what program are you using, what format are you burning, is it an ISO for DVD or CD ? [20:56] <___Oz___> feh [20:56] anyone got any ideas on my issue? [20:56] LjL you own the chan? [20:56] iso for dvd [20:56] Itaku: no [20:56] jimcooncat: And I might end up doing that if I don't find a more elegant solution [20:56] kwrobel2008: well, can't you do that without changing runlevels? [20:56] <___Oz___> He's sort of a "co-owner" of the enterprise, Itaku. [20:56] but it burs a cd fine [20:56] who does cuz i wanna voulenteer [20:56] tom2002, what are you viewing this in,its an Applet not an application, correct?

I need two Ubuntu packages for my computer, including dependencies, but I have no internet at home (am in an internet cafe now). Is there a way to do this? [20:56] Hi, I am running 32bit 7.10; gfxcard ATI radeon 2600 (and running fglrx drivers). I can't get any tty consoles. When I press ctrl+alt+F* the screen goes blank, and I can't get back into X (only hard reset works). It is a known bug, and I have tried all the workarounds I could find (fbcon vesafb radeonfb). This seems to solve it for most people, but not for me. Anyone know what I can do/try/read? [20:56] it is an application [20:57] Kheldar^^: just a beowulf cluster, nothing fancy [20:57] not an applet [20:57] how do I know if have the latest/best graphics for my onboard graphics adaptor [20:57] Itaku: what stops you from volunteering? you're perfectly free to answer support questions that are asked here [20:57] rapha: ubuntu.com, request that they mail you cds [20:57] Itaku: and why you need to contact channel owner? just volunteer here [20:57] kdc1956, repeating what you already said, is not answering my question, also you want to include the nick your reply to, as well, you want to post single lines only, thanks [20:57] to use the bot commands [20:57] tom2002: you might want to join ##java and ask there, but I think you need to be registered and identified to go there [20:57] jimcooncat: Thing is, I am lazy. And what if we add more services to this machine? I don't want to maintain my own "runlevels", you know [20:57] kwrobel2008: for each entry in /etc/init.d/ you use, stop, run your script, start?

Nice chatting [21:01] tom2002, ok, so whats the issue then? [21:01] jamesfree: no, not on my servers. Everything's as generic as possible, I don't even run x.org.

[21:03] neverblue: lemme check [21:03] Sauron: you should be able to just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop if you need to repair basic functionality. the only challenge will be to chroot into the actual install if you're not able to run it with parts of the kernel missing [21:03] neverblue: version 1.6 [21:03] tom2002, javac -version [21:03] rapha: no need to get all the dependencies shown there , maybe you have some of them , It's better first to use synaptic and select your package , then make download script from synaptic menues. that way you know which files you should get from where [21:04] Pwnguin : ... damn... only ???

How [23:21] <_Lucretia_> I just removed totem/xine (as that's broken) and installed mplayer (with the mozilla plugin), played a dvd, but the overlay doesn't sit in the window, and makes a mess of the background [23:22] Stevethepirate: I have a total of 4 files! [23:22] um [23:22] is there a firefox security howto on linux [23:22] Beryllium, heh [23:23] none: Where do you have these 4 files? [23:23] can anyone pick this up, i am trying to copy a .doc from my comp to my flash drive, i tried both nautilus and command line neither works, i am in media checking for the device is mounted and need to know where to go from there [23:23] none: In ur firmware section? [23:23] I have like.. 50 [23:23] At least. [23:24] hi [23:24] pingu: did you try moving in root? using gksudo nautilus? [23:24] pingu: what is the format on the flash and how was it mounted [23:24] Is there like a 'taskmanager' for ubuntu? [23:24] Stevethepirate: i'm searhing for the .deb name [23:24] iDivine: system monitor [23:24] jeffMASTERflex: yes tried that [23:24] none: Okay. [23:24] jeffMASTERflex, How would I get to it? [23:24] iDivine: system/administration/system monitor [23:25] jeffMASTERflex, Gracias. [23:25] jack sparrow: i dont know what the format on the flash is but it usually just mounts itself to my desktop when i plug it in [23:25] Stevethepirate: I'm not an expert in the package managemet system ... how do I query a file to see which package provedede the file? [23:25] pingu: does your file name contain spaces? [23:25] sudo aptitude search [23:25] ? [23:25] I really like rhythmbox, but since I often mix around with X sound dies often ... I was thinking if there is someway that you could have one small music player running that I can run in screen [23:25] pingu if so, change the spaces to underscores [23:25] and have a graphical interface from X [23:25] * Stevethepirate <3's Amarok [23:25] to communicate with it [23:26] * Grafton needs help with wireless networking [23:26] Stevethepirate, No need to use sudo for only searching ( using sudo when unnecessary should be avoided ) [23:26] patogen: mpd with whatever gui is available for it [23:26] prince jammys: which file name? [23:26] pingu the file you are copying [23:26] Jordan_U: Yeah, sorry. [23:26] When I installed 7.10, my speaker output on my laptop is not recognized, I know it worked when i installed 6.10 on it awhile ago, anyone have any ideas? [23:26] Stevethepirate: I guess "apt-get install linux-restricted-modules" will help [23:26] jeffMASTERflex: Oh that's cool, didn't know there was such a thing, was just hoping for it :) [23:26] ok thats what i thought [23:26] For some reason, direct rendering doesn't work well for me. I ran glxinfo, and the information is found here: http://aha.pastebin.com/m5a64daac -- could someone help me? [23:26] pingu does it have spaces in the file name? [23:27] patogen: music player daemon is pretty useful. there are many different gui's for it thought. look around for one you like [23:27] none: guess? === c is now known as Charitwo [23:27] prince_jammys: still nothing same response i got before "/home/michael/Desktop/Arch: My space.doc" [23:28] prince_jammys: sorry wrong one [23:28] question: how do i use my IPv6 ? [23:28] Can anybody assist with an install that isn't working? [23:28] jeffMASTERflex: Hehe, not sure I will find one however ... since I guess mpd attracts lightweight users and rhythmbox is like the contrary to that [23:28] pingu: My_space.doc [23:28] prince_jammys: this is the response "Error "Invalid parameters" while copying "/home/mich...space.doc"." [23:28] patogen: i don't use mpd myself. am partial to amarok [23:28] prince_jammys: thats exactly what did, nothing [23:29] When booting from the live CD, I get this message: [23:29] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:14.0 [23:30] hi [23:30] im using apt-get to install cacti [23:30] pingu why the colon? is that how one copies to flash drive? cuz i don't use flash drives [23:30] and im getting these errors [23:30] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] [23:30] i have a QUESTION [23:30] seem apt get cant find urls..

I want to control my ubuntu desktop from my windows box, im used to using realVNC, is this good for ubuntu also or is there a better option? [23:31] :) never seen a guide on actualy using it... [23:31] Dr_willis, dont want to turn it off. [23:31] pingu: Arch: [23:31] prince_jammys: no thats part of the file name [23:31] kbrooks: i thought ipv6 support was automatic [23:31] solexious, about any vnc client will work to connect to the vncserver of the linux box. I tend to use ultravnc on windows. [23:31] pingu try removing it [23:32] prince_jammys: ok [23:32] pingu change the file name so it has no colon [23:32] jeffMASTERflex, i cant connect to a ipv6 server [23:32] pingu stay away from spaces and symbols in file names [23:32] prince_jammys: hey it worked, thats so much [23:32] where can i go to get help with setting up a wireless network [23:32] thanks* [23:32] !wireless | Grafton [23:32] !cacti [23:32] hi all i just install ubuntu server, can i also install a gui without install "ubuntu-desktop" cuz i dont want all the programs that comes with it [23:32] Grafton: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:32] Dr_willis: Great, what is the best server soft to use on the ubuntu box, realVNC server is is there an inbuilt linux vnc server to use? [23:32] t [23:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about cacti - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:33] pingu it interpreted part of your file name as a parameter, had nothing to do with permissions [23:33] thanks for the linki [23:33] l8ter [23:33] kbrooks: does your isp support ipv6? if not you won't be able to connect [23:33] Stevethepirate: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=iwlwifi&searchmode=searchfilesanddirs&case=insensitive&version=gutsy&arch=i386 [23:33] solexious, theres several vnvserver variants for linux I just tend to use vnc4server, gnome and kde also have tools to share the currently running desktop. Wich is somthing that the other vncservers do NOT do. [23:33] prince_jammys: wow that is annoying but thanks alot [23:33] mike: What about apt-get install gdm ? [23:33] will that just give me a gui? [23:33] solexious, vnc works a bit differently on a linux machine then it does under windows. [23:34] pingu just remember , letters and underscores (spaces are actually ok but you should still avoid) [23:34] dashes in file names can goof things up at times also. :) expecially if you do a typo and put a space befor the dash [23:34] !info gdm [23:34] gdm (source: gdm): GNOME Display Manager.

[23:35] !vnc [23:35] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [23:35] Thank you [23:36] Stevethepirate: but that's only the modules ... not the firmware .... I think it's easiere to copy from another distro or the livecd [23:36] solexious, i tend to ssh in, run vncserver, then connect with a vncclient.

[23:39] If it fucks out [23:39] i can just rm them [23:39] hi how do I get netstat to output useful info? At the moment it's putting ip4 addresses into ip6, then truncating them. So I can't see the real IPs. [23:39] All the iwl* [23:39] ? [23:39] Stevethepirate: it will only fuck the hardware ... untill you reboot [23:39] Stevethepirate: yes, all of them [23:39] !language [23:39] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[23:43] Photocopy: wait 5 more minutes. maybe it's having connectivity issues. [23:43] ahorriblemess: I hate it when people post stuff like that.. Alien is not a good choice. [23:43] !alien [23:43] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [23:44] none: haii [23:44] *haai [23:44] nope, ifconfig still shows naught [23:44] ahorriblemess: typing "lightscribe" doesn't work?

[23:45] seems like surely someone has had the same issue as me, [23:45] ahorriblemess: forget it - listen to sparrow [23:45] Stevethepirate: Do you have something like: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi [23:45] axod: sudo netstat plant shows useful info about listening processes [23:45] axod: that is, sudo netstat -plant [23:45] anyone know how I can look up why my window manager keeps crashing? [23:45] Jack_Sparrow: ok, so how do I remove alien [23:45] no [23:45] ph0rensic: I mean emerald [23:46] there were just .ucode's in the .22 folder [23:46] Jack_Sparrow: and howdo you know what version I have? :-X [23:46] Stevethepirate: you also need a kernel module ..... [23:46] nickrud: yeah but the issue is it still truncates all the addresses [23:46] none: where would i find one/ [23:46] ?

I am running 7.10 (32bit) and have a ATI radeon 2600 gfxcard (running gflrx). When I try get to a console from X using ctrl+alt+F* all I get is a blank screen. After this I can't even get back into X, so I have to do a hard reset to get it to work again. This is a known bug, but all the workarounds I found (fbcon, radeonfb) don't seem to work for me. Anyone know what I can try? [23:47] axod: that looks untruncated ipv6 ...

[23:48] Jack_Sparrow: You're usually better off to compile from source or use debhelper to make a .deb from source than to use alien (in my experience) [23:48] hey guys im having a problem with vi [23:48] ahorriblemess: If you are using Dapper, it is technically a different room [23:48] genii: I fully agree [23:48] it doesnt recognize my delete or my backspace key [23:48] Jack_Sparrow: No I"m using Gutsy... I didn't know that [23:48] nibuha or whatever your naem [23:48] name is.. I do NOT appreciate that [23:49] ahorriblemess: Just like hardy is +1 for the next release [23:49] none: okay, what do i do with those files? [23:49] Jack_Sparrow: oh... well anyway, I just removed Alien and the Lightscribe package I just got. I still have the files from LaCie though [23:49] genii: You did see that I was not suggesting alien correct [23:49] l [23:50] Stevethepirate: install the one that matches your kernel [23:50] Im having a problem with vi i cant use my backspace or arrow keys they oull up random characters anyone have any ideas whats wrong? [23:50] Jack_Sparrow: Just catching up on scroll :) Yes [23:50] Jack_Sparrow: If it's easier because you get bombarded with questions, I can just search around and figure out another way. It's no emergency for me to get Lightscribe to work [23:50] genii: np.. thats for double checking.. [23:50] trhanks [23:50] arggh... Thanks for double checking [23:50] not there. [23:50] 2.6.24-7 [23:51] dumasymptote, you may to install the 'full' vim package. not just the tiny-vim thats installed by default [23:51] Stevethepirate: did you compile it your self?

[23:52] EchoedSilence: how can you not install it? you boot the cd and there is an install icon on the desktop [23:52] Like, seriously. [23:52] Stevethepirate: If you are using hardy would you mind taking this tho #Ubuntu+1 [23:52] Someone screwed me over by telling me to do ctrl alt f2 when i mentioned my installation hanging. [23:52] Jack_Sparrow: ... [23:52] idk if they were trying to help or screw me over how they did [23:52] jeffMASTERflex: am I supposed to mount it first? [23:52] Photocopy, that just goes to the console where you can do things.. [23:52] Stevethepirate: I'm still working with gutsy .... don't know how to help you [23:52] just mentioning [23:52] jeffMASTERflex: to a CD? [23:52] Photocopy: are you at a command prompt [23:52] none: No problem. [23:53] g'nite all. [23:53] EchoedSilence, you're supposed to burn it to a cd then reboot with the cd still in the drive [23:53] Dr_willis... I cant do anything in the console [23:53] Photocopy, alt-ctrl F1 through F6 for consoles F7 for the X again. [23:53] jeffMASTERflex: A. [23:53] if you dont even get a login in the console. the system may be hung big time. [23:53] Jack_Sparrow... I didnt know anything or how to get otu, so i shutdown [23:53] jeffMASTERflex: just burn? or it an ISO? [23:53] EchoedSilence: you should have downloaded an iso image. burn the image to a cd. nero support burning iso images. then boot the cd [23:53] Photocopy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa mode 1024 [23:53] Stevethepirate: guess your livecd is gutsy?

[23:54] Im back on my windows installation [23:54] Hey guys, do you know of any good helper guides to using Console Emulators in LINUX? Thanks. [23:54] Photocopy: You have full install, just need to set up the video card to get gui [23:54] But what do I do when it hangs again, jeffMASTERflex [23:54] Stevethepirate: I guess the need to make the restricted package [23:54] Jack_Sparrow, I had Gui, he told me to go to ctrl-alt-f2 [23:54] aO|DB-DX: you mean learning unix commands?

[23:56] Stevethepirate: and ask them [23:56] none: I did earlier.. [23:56] aO|DB-DX: sorry, i don't know ... last i looked at that was ages ago - most required a "rom" file since otherwise they would be illegal .. [23:56] No reply. [23:56] I need advice how I should attach my another hard disk on system if I want to use it as workspace for various things I do (ie. c++ coding, picture editing etc.) [23:57] Furythor, power down, install it. fdisk it, format it. mount it where you want. Set permissions as needed. :) [23:57] Stevethepirate: :) or should I say :( [23:57] prince_jammys, they are legal as long as you have the actual cartridge [23:57] jeffMASTERflex: did you get the PM i sent? [23:57] lol [23:57] dvdauthor Will it make it so I can make dvd with a menu that I make the lay out how I see fit. So I could say put a couple of movies . [23:57] well, more likely problem is that which directory I should mount it, since I do not want to use it as media/diskx [23:58] Furythor, you can mount it whever you want. [23:58] where is root user's home directory ? [23:58] babo, /root [23:58] true, but where it would be logical ? [23:58] haha [23:58] ah [23:58] Furythor, depend son what you want to do... [23:58] Furythor, I mount mine to /media/storage then make a dir for each user, that they own, for their extra storage needs. [23:59] well, that is one solution... [23:59] babo /root [23:59] Furythor, i got anotner mounted to /public - since its a Public samba share. [23:59] babo special home directory, not in /home [23:59] aye thans
