[00:00] I was thinking if I could use /workspace and make there subfolders for projects. etc. [00:00] jeffMASTERflex: the file ends in .iso but is a winRAR archive [00:00] or should I use /usr/local [00:00] jeffMASTERflex: That ok? [00:00] Furythor: /usr/local/workspace [00:00] winrar CAN open .iso files - that dosent mean that a .iso is an rar archive [00:01] Furythor: is convention [00:01] So download it,and mount it to a CD? [00:01] winrar just decided to grab the file assoiucation with iso files. [00:01] EchoedSilence: basically [00:01] Ah [00:01] just checking [00:01] hey all, anyone know how to get k3b to burn m4a files? [00:01] >> === patti_ is now known as PaTeeLA [00:01] thanks guys [00:02] PaTeeLA, you mean to make a dvd-video disk? [00:02] evening [00:02] mount the file i get from the DL, or extract it? [00:02] how do i instal a tar.gz file? [00:03] MasterMel-> tar.gz files are compressed archives thats all, you have to uncompress them first [00:03] So I will stick with that /usr/local/workspace [00:03] I have a problem [00:03] ReiserFS: md0: warning: Filesystem on md0 cannot be mounted because it is bigger than the device [00:03] MasterMel: tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz [00:03] Dr_willis: no, it wont burn m4a files to audio disk [00:03] PaTeeLA, convert it to wave i guess with some other tool. [00:03] Dr_willis: got it working on other machine, just dont remember what was done... =( [00:03] EchoedSilence: you download the iso, use that to burn a cd [00:03] you burn the iso you downloaded, EchoedSilence [00:03] PaTeeLA, May want toc heck the kubuntu homepage - the faq may mention what packatge you need then. [00:03] Thanks. [00:04] One last question before you get fed up and line me up in front of the firing squad [00:04] use daemon tools? [00:04] daemon tools is used for mounting images, EchoedSilence. you need to burn it to a physical cd [00:04] EchoedSilence, daemon tools to do what exactly? I missed the initial problem. [00:04] I don't recall that having a disk burning option [00:04] Furythor: conventions: /usr/local/bin for custom programs(not from repos) /usr/local/doc , etc (similar to what you see in /usr/share) [00:05] EchoedSilence, to burn a .iso to cd. I tend to use 'burn at once' or some other tools... under windows. [00:05] << Vista [00:05] Dr_willis: it lets you mount various disk images [00:05] brIan__amenado: thx i uncompressed it.. but for what file am i looking for? [00:05] Khisanth, i know what it does. :) i just dont know what hes wanting to do with it. heh. [00:05] good valentines day! http://www.helsinki.fi/~ptolvane/amb.gif === Jannita is now known as johanna [00:06] Dr_willis, i think he's under the impression that you can install it while in windows like a normal windows application or something like that [00:06] I wanna find a way to install Ubuntu using the .iso i downloaded offa the website [00:06] Dr_willis: misread the "to do" :) [00:06] Ive seen 'others' mistakenly mount .iso files then copy the files to a real cd.. - that WONT work right. :) [00:06] someone knows a good app to convert an OGM with several audio streams to avi (being able to select the audio stream I want in the output file)? I use to have a script for this but I can't find it anymore, if someone can point me to one... [00:06] Konam, ive used avidmux befor to do that.. with varying degrees of success. :) [00:06] Konam sounds like avidemux [00:07] MasterMel-> well look around in that uncompressed directory, are there Makefiles? whats the xxx.tar.gz you downloaded? [00:07] Konam avidemux: good app but not the most friendly, try installing [00:07] prince_jammys Dr_willis I tried it but I can't select the audio output [00:07] !phpBB on Ubuntu [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about phpbb on ubuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:07] Yeah well, this goes for offtopic but finnish high quality education system should give heavy asskick for swedish oldtimers and change swedish to be optional in schools... I mean who really needs it could study it, why to torment everyone with it, I have never needed it nor used it .... :C [00:07] amenado: its the elisa.0.3.3.tar.gz file [00:07] >AFK [00:07] EchoedSilence, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [00:08] thanks M-Nagato [00:08] Konam thats the not friendly part -- i think there's a basic tutorial out there in the internet [00:08] MasterMel is it a source file? whats the content after you have uncompressed it? [00:08] Konam: ogmdemux [00:08] MasterMel: What is in that version that is not in the one from our repos [00:08] hey === johanna is now known as Johanna [00:09] .... [00:09] amenado: a couple of files and folders [00:09] hello, does anybody use Claws Mail? It creates mailbox folders in $HOME, is there any way to change the location? I cannot find anything in gui settings nor in google results. [00:09] brb guys [00:09] prolly be back later [00:09] thanks [00:09] jack_sparrow: in the repos we still have the 0.3.2 version.. and on the site they already have the 0.33. version [00:09] Is there anyway of running a phpBB Board on Ubuntu? [00:09] MasterMel-> we can be here all night guessing.., care to elaborate whats on it? [00:10] !find phpbb | Tailsfan [00:10] tailsfan: Found: phpbb2, phpbb2-conf-mysql, phpbb2-languages [00:10] how can I view a txt file in non-wrapped mode [00:10] Are those Packages in Synaptic? [00:10] I dont want line wrapping [00:10] Tailsfan: yes, that find searches the package listes [00:10] orei: in nano. nano should have wrapping off by default [00:10] Tailsfan: checked, yes [00:10] no hope for 3 I guess [00:11] !mount [00:11] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [00:11] I'm having problems installing 7.10 on my PC [00:11] amenado: its the elisa media center. [00:11] Tailsfan: 3rd is there also [00:11] Im getting a msg: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:14.0 [00:11] does anybody know of a way around this? [00:11] Tailsfan: apt-cache search phpbb2 [00:11] amenado: or do you want to know what kinda files there are>? [00:11] Cool, installing it on VBOx [00:11] MasterMel-> yes.. [00:12] oi [00:12] algurm por ai [00:12] jeffMASTERflex, thanks, where does nano show the column number or line number, i cant see it [00:12] hi [00:12] MasterMel-> if there is a Makefile, then type make; sudo make install [00:13] help I just updated and my system crashed now I'm getting kernel panic how do i fix this. i'm using a live cd right now [00:13] prince_jammys: I don't see phpbb3 in there, where do you see it? [00:13] amenado: ok thnx i will try [00:13] Hey guys, I have a LinuxEBDA is big issue and after I closed my PC, I also upgraded to a Q6600... what shall I do ? Install AMD64 version without formatting but overriding all files ? [00:13] orei, use Ctrl+C to see current position [00:13] nickrrud i didn't -- i thought when said "not for 3" that he meant the third file, lol [00:14] wng-, thanks :) [00:14] lwizardl-> what error were you getting when it crashed? duing update it crashed? or at reboot? what were you doing to crash it? [00:14] prince_jammys: heh. brain fart, I've been sooo guilty :) [00:14] nickrud: :) [00:15] nickrud: Congrats.. for the promotion [00:15] Cool, Thanks, I'll install Ubuntu on Vbox and run it from there [00:15] jeffMASTERflex: Thank you. Got mpd up and running now and it works nice, found one client that seems fine also :) [00:15] amenado: during update [00:15] btw, can I boot with "Linux Rescue" from a Ubuntu CD ? [00:15] the xubuntu CD does not seem to have that option [00:16] hi [00:16] i formated a partition with gparted,ext3 [00:16] amenado: I was doing a update while reading my emails on gmail [00:16] but i cant write there... what can i do? :S [00:16] orei, use Ctrl+C to see current position [00:17] wng-, got it, thanks [00:17] hfmls: is the partition mounted? [00:17] Is there a reason I should be only getting 1MB/s with my Intel 3945 wireless 15 feet away from the access point? [00:17] macogw: yes [00:17] 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? [00:18] hfmls: can you write to it as root? [00:18] hfmls: It will be a permissions issue [00:18] telexicon: 1MB/s is fast [00:18] i can [00:18] how can i change permissions [00:18] telexicon: but a reason aside from your card would be the speed of the server from which you're downloading [00:18] hfmls, chmod/chown [00:19] macogw, the internet is not involved here.. this is a file transfer to a machine on the same LAN [00:19] hfmls, to let a user wroite to it - i normally make a directory for the user, and chown THAT dir to be owned by the user. [00:19] lwizardl : try to run " fsck " ass root to fix the problem [00:19] macogw, i should be getting like 5MB/s [00:19] telexicon: oh. what are the limits on your router? is it 10/100 or is it 10/100/1000? you cant get over 1Mib/s without 1000 [00:19] hfmls, true the user dosent have full access to the root of the disk. but they got their own dir. I normally link to their home dir or elsewere [00:19] macogw, check please [00:20] i want to use an ISO image of the livecd as a package source - how do i do this? [00:20] i want to use deluge with that partition, so downloads go there. [00:20] what should i do? [00:20] telexicon: can you get more than that using a different OS wirelessly? i know wireless has a lower limit than wired, just from the perspective of "that's how 802.11 works" [00:20] shouldn't permissions be ok? :S [00:20] hfmls, make a dir. chown it to be owned by the user. the user will then have full access to that dir. [00:20] hfmls: is that partition going to be always mounted? [00:21] is the easy way. :) [00:21] macogw, as in.. id like to go to another restaurant now [00:21] hfmls: you can change the permissions in fstab also [00:21] telexicon: what? [00:21] lol [00:21] hi. im doing an ubuntu installation from within a gentoo system using debootstrap to an external usb drive. i just spent THREE DAYS trying to do the same thing with debian but after the install i could not get it to boot === mkquist__ is now known as mkquist [00:21] because i know 802.11g is supposed to get 54Mbit, and I am the only one using this access point [00:21] no matter what i tried in the kernel [00:21] none of the canned kernels worked and none of the kernels i built worked [00:21] telexicon: for every frame, the media is sending 3 frames ... if it's to another wireless machine, the collision rate is big. [00:21] macogw: yes [00:22] telexicon: oh ok. i dont know what the limits are *shrug* it was just a guess [00:22] hfmls: ok then lets add it to /etc/fstab [00:22] telexicon: 54Mbit/s is a joke ... nobody gets that performance [00:22] hfmls: open /etc/fstab as root [00:22] none, thats fair but it should at least go half that [00:22] none, i know i can get 2MB or 3MB [00:22] im in a very serious bind here, i cant even begin to say how frustrated i am but i have to have either debian (which i abandoned 8 years ago or so) or ubuntu [00:22] hfmls: if you know how to use vim or nano "sudo vim /etc/fstab" or "sudo nano /etc/fstab" otherwise "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" [00:23] telexicon: how do you measure? [00:23] telexicon: and how is the setup? [00:23] and it HAS to support ipw3945 anhd it has to be bootable from an external usb drive out of the box === mkquist__ is now known as mkquist [00:23] I440r-> you tried downloading liveCd ? [00:23] telexicon: half of what? 54Mbit? [00:23] its downloading NOW. its going to take about 3 hours [00:23] I440r: well ive booted ubuntu from an external hard drive on my laptop that has ipw3945 before... [00:24] ok, i have fstab opened as root [00:24] i have to have this system installed, up and running, and the moblin image creator working and a whole new camera driver working by friday [00:24] none, i guess ill see how it goes [00:24] ive been fighting this crap for 3 days. i need the fastest possible solution and i think debootstrap is it [00:24] hfmls: ok. add a line, probably just above the CD one, I'd say, and we're going to put that disk into the file [00:24] hello everyone [00:24] hfmls: you know the device name right? /dev/sdb2 or whatever it is? that goes first [00:24] mac thats good to know but i dont think i can use the live cd to do this but im willing to try ANYTHING [00:25] like i said, its downloading now [00:25] its disk [00:25] ok, thanks, avidemux will do the trick, I just have to select the audio stream I want in audio--->main track. [00:25] I440r-> what format did you have for the external USB drive? [00:25] ext3 [00:25] hfmls: i know the others are shown as their UUIDs, but either works. it's disk? you mean the mount point is /media/disk? that's now what i'm talking about right now. i mean the actual device/partition number [00:25] I have a friend whose windows computer stopped booting. I was thinking about going to his house and boot ubuntu from a live cd so I could mount the windows partition and make backups of everything [00:25] if thats what u meant [00:25] Hi everyone! :) Does anyone know a way for me to scan my network for open ports? Is there any tools included with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon that can do this? I'm a noob. [00:25] the problem is that I'd need to burn some dvds [00:25] so the question is [00:26] macogw: yes [00:26] can I still run ubuntu if I remove the live cd? [00:26] the problem was that none of the canned debian kernels would succesfully boot to it. the kernel would load, expand, go thru some crap and FREEZE [00:26] hfmls: do you know what the device label is? if not, you can type "mount" and itll list what's mounted to tell you [00:26] Cafesolo: no [00:26] Cafesolo: no i dont think so [00:26] Cafesolo: you can make a boot flash drive though [00:26] i spend all day today doing kernel compile after kernel compile to try to get it to boot [00:26] Cafesolo: Does he not have two optical drives? Try a USB to boot from [00:26] yes its disk [00:26] installing ubuntu is not an option since he doesn't have a free partition [00:27] Cafesolo: there must not be two optical drives then.. [00:27] !wubi | Cafesolo possibly [00:27] Cafesolo possibly: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html === Maz is now known as Mazus [00:27] macogw: i want to access this partition from windows too, can u tell mhow to format to ntfs instead? cuz i know how to read write ntfs in ubuntu. [00:27] hfmls: that really doesn't sound right. the first disk is /dev/sda and the second is /dev/sdb and the third is /dev/sdc and the first partition on the first disk is /dev/sda1 and the second on first disk is /dev/sda2 etc. can you just paste the output of "mount" on http://pastebin.ca and link me to it? [00:28] I440r-> if you were using initrd from liveCD i think you have to use squashfs [00:28] hfmls: vista or xp? there xp drivers for using ext2/3 [00:28] question: i am trying to reinstall my vista partition because it seems to have become corrupt. i want to create a separate partition that both vista and ubuntu can read/write for my music/movies. what type of partition can be read/written by both operating systems? [00:28] xp [00:28] Hi everyone! :) Does anyone know a way for me to scan my network for open ports? Is there any tools included with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon that can do this? I'm a noob. [00:28] but i rather use ntfs [00:28] okay so I have a maxtor harddrive, sda1 is a 500MB ext3 formatted partition, but no files on it [00:28] lulzturtle-> type sudo lsof -i [00:28] pike_: thatd require that windows be bootable [00:28] amenado: thanks :) [00:28] lulzturtle: nmap is handy for that nmap-fe is a decent gui front end [00:29] hfmls: umm ok can gparted not do ntfs? [00:29] no it can't :S [00:29] hfmls: use ext3 for sharing between Windows and Linux [00:29] its "ghosted" [00:29] hfmls,macogw: gparted can do ntfs [00:30] okay so I have a maxtor harddrive, sda1 is a 500MB ext3 formatted partition, but no files on it. sda2 is a 183 GB encrypted partition. When I boot the computer with only the maxtor harddrive, it's recognized. when I boot the computer with another harddrive in, the maxtor harddrive fails to be recognized at all. I've tried all jumper settings. Is there something else that could be preventing this harddrive from being recognized? [00:30] hfmls: ext3 is a nore reslient FS, and is open. those are some nice advantages. ;) - http://fs-driver.org [00:30] it seems that it can, but its ghost the text.i can't choose it. [00:30] ext3 is able to be read/written by vista? [00:30] orangesicle: no, but xp can [00:30] orangesicle: no [00:30] hfmls,macogw: from live cd? [00:30] mneptok: but i'm new to ubuntu === mkquist__ is now known as mkquist [00:30] no [00:30] Hey when the LTS server edition be out? [00:30] prince_jammys: i dont know. i dont use ntfs [00:31] shadowvice: april [00:31] I440r-> http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-live-cd-p2 [00:31] shadowvice: 08-04 [00:31] hfmls: you want to share data between Windows and Linux, yes? [00:31] it's wsay for me to se ntfs and go to synaptic and install ntfs support [00:31] shadowvice: server and desktop are released at the same time [00:31] macogw no, i was saying i know that i does do ntfs [00:31] is there any partition type that can be read by both vista and ubuntu? [00:31] macogw: but is that confirmed to be LTS? [00:31] and use it to x360 with media player. [00:31] so i would want to format it in ntfs. :S [00:31] orangesicle-> vfat ? or fat maybe? [00:31] orangesicle, fat32 maybe? [00:31] mneptok: windows can't see ext3 [00:31] and updating a server from one version to another... is there any issues with that that I should watch out for? === mkquist__ is now known as mkquist [00:32] hfmls: either way, if you want it to automount the partition as writable for you, you're going to need to put the partition into /etc/fstab, so i dont see how ntfs would help any (other than making it so that i don't know what the available options are for adding it to fstab) [00:32] !ext2 [00:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:32] !ext3 [00:32] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [00:32] prince_jammys: it can with a driver [00:32] With the proper driver - windows CAN read/write ext2/3 [00:32] hfmls: in that case, use FAT32 [00:32] orangesicle: fat32 is the standard. solaris bsds linux windows macos all read it [00:32] orangesicle: generally [00:32] i would [00:32] Dr_willis: ext2ifs [00:32] but i't use 4gbup [00:32] files [00:32] i can't * [00:32] the 4 gig limit on files these days is a pain [00:32] thank you all! i'll work on finding those drivers for vista. [00:32] yeah [00:33] how do i view running tasks in terminal in order to kill a corresponding task? [00:33] danielski_pl: top/htop [00:33] ok i have a stupid question....I am using teamspeak 2 and I got my sound to work no prob...I am using logitec headset...and for some reason the mic is not working [00:33] shadowvice: currently, upgrades are only supported from one version to the one right after it. skipping is not supported. for LTS's, there is work being done to make it possible to smoothly go from one LTS to the next, skipping what's in between (probably involves it doing a bunch of extra checks regarding configuration files and software versions) [00:33] danielski_pl-> ps aux [00:33] danielski_pl: ps -a or ps aux is nicely formatted [00:33] hfmls: if you want ntfs or vfat, burn the gparted live cd, boot from the cd and change it... then come back and we'll help you wrap it up in fstab [00:33] danielski_pl: er.. ps -A [00:34] hfmls: vfat will work for sharing between linux and windows [00:34] prince_jammys: but i used to use a something i installed via synaptic that mounted ntfs and gave access to read write ntfs. and just worked, i've installed [00:34] is that the only way to format in ntfs ? [00:34] hmm anyone have a clue for me? [00:35] but i dont want just that. i want ntfs because i need to use wmp and x360 [00:35] the other thing was that it ran fine as a slave drive when I didn't have any encryption on it [00:35] gnome says i still have an open firefox window yet... i dont c one, how do i go about killing it [00:35] hfmls: yes, but the only problem is you don't have an ntfs partition yet - so you have to make it first [00:35] lol i know [00:35] Does ubuntu have a multi monitor switching utility? [00:35] i'm saking if i can doit vi aubuntu [00:35] via* [00:36] emma, nvidia drivers include somt tools if ysing nvidia cards. :) [00:36] hfmls: try again after unmounting the partition. [00:36] ok [00:37] hfmls: there is no data in this partition, right? [00:37] danielski_pl: start terminal and type killall firefox-bin [00:37] right [00:37] where can i get quality top famouse games that work in linux? or can be run fine with wine? [00:37] compu73gr33k: do i have to sudo? [00:37] shoudln't, but if it complains then use it [00:37] Picachoo, I hear Savage2 is comming out soon - it has a native linux client. :) [00:38] Picachoo, it may be out allready. [00:38] compu73gr33k: thanx it worked :P [00:38] !games | Picachoo [00:38] Picachoo: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [00:38] 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? === andatche_ is now known as andatche [00:38] Dr_willis: awesome game is s2, however to quoth the devs:"our opengl render guy has gone AWOL" so the linux client is delayed atm :( [00:39] Dr_willis IC. whats your fav games [00:39] So by building a 7.10 server in the next few days and then updating to the next release within a small amount of time should be painless? [00:39] if anyone can help with a small teamspeak difficulty a private message would be greatly appreciated [00:39] ok so whats the joe editor called in ubuntu [00:39] NigelS_, Bummer. I been meaning to buy the game. But havent seen it in stores yet. [00:39] and i assume to install things you do "apt-get" ? [00:39] I've lost my window decorations (the title bars and borders) , I installed the "Advanced Desktop Settings Manager" ... and made sure window decorations are checked ......... Still no window deocrations.... what can I do? [00:40] Picachoo, lots of neat GPL games out for Linux, (and ported to windows also) 'rocksndiamonds' is a MUST get. :) [00:40] i put an ftp://... into my /etc/apt/source.list but it doesn't seem to work ... is there a way to get apt to recognize ftp sites? [00:40] !info rocksndiamonds [00:40] cant find joe at all. is it even IN ubuntu [00:40] rocksndiamonds (source: rocksndiamonds): Arcade style game. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 3.2.3-3 (gutsy), package size 384 kB, installed size 1256 kB === c is now known as Charitwo [00:40] Dr_willis: I'm not sure you will, S2games have been keen to pioneer new methods of distribution - so you can download the full game and play (in windows) for 5 hours then you can opt to buy - if you want physical media, artwork and a guide you can pay $15 extra for the collectors edition though that hasn't shipped yet [00:40] I440r, [00:40] I440r, 'sudo apt-get install joe' then the command is 'joe' [00:41] nope [00:41] wng it cannot find any package named joe [00:41] lol [00:41] do i have something missing from my sources.list? [00:41] NigelS_, most likely - after 5 hrs i wouldent want to play any more either. Heh heh .. Been getting most of my games from STEAM on windows lately [00:41] I440r, possibly, though mine is default from installation [00:41] I440r, pastebin yours [00:41] Dr_willis any more [00:41] iratik: I think it is something like compiz --replace but ask in #Compiz [00:42] its one line why pastebin? [00:42] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main [00:42] your sources.list is one line? [00:42] !find joe [00:42] Found: joe [00:42] thats my entire sources.list [00:42] Picachoo, check the packatge manager for games.. thers dozens of them. The 'Linux game tome' has info on others. [00:42] thanks jack sparrow [00:42] np [00:42] Picachoo, depends omn what kind of games you like. Theres also dozens of 'emulators' for other systems [00:42] !info joe [00:42] Dr_willis will i have to get special gaming joysticks compatible with linux? [00:42] joe (source: joe): user friendly full screen text editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5-1.1 (gutsy), package size 357 kB, installed size 1148 kB [00:42] hi [00:42] Dr_willis: yeah, I quite like steam as a platform - sort of anaologous to a closed source repo model I guess; S2 is pretty addictive, the demo has a few restrictions - i.e. you can't spawn as hellbourne and have a longer respawn time, nor can you command [00:42] I440r: Enable universe [00:43] Picachoo, special? Never needed any special ones. of course I cant thinkof any games that need joysticks these days [00:43] Dr_willis emulators like virtual box and vmware? [00:43] ? [00:43] I440r, try using this website: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ to generate a sources.list [00:43] Jack_Sparrow, say again in english? [00:43] Dr_willis what do you mean by emulators? [00:43] oops [00:43] Picachoo: ET:quakewars, quake3, ut2k4, doom3 - these have native linux clients [00:43] Picachoo, no ' console emulators' like the SNES, NES, PS1 and PS2 [00:43] I440r, sorry, that links dead [00:43] I440r: system-admin-software sources [00:43] i have a stupid question that is it reasonable to pay if i want to marry someone's daughter [00:43] Never Winters Night - also has a Linux client. [00:44] jack. is that some command im supposed to type in? [00:44] ah yes :) [00:44] NigelS_ but if i use wine. joysticks wont work? [00:44] and tribes 2(the best game ever) :) [00:44] I440r: Click on...system...admin...etc [00:44] i have a stupid question that is it reasonable to pay if i want to marry someone's daughter [00:44] Dr_willis what use do they have? [00:44] erm [00:44] im not in a live cd [00:44] im in gentoo [00:44] inside a chroot [00:44] Picachoo, they play the games for the systems they emulate. :) [00:44] What are the possible locations for a startup to be? I've searched all the ones I know but can't find the script which is getting started at boot time (and I don't want him to). [00:44] with feisty base installed and nnothing else [00:44] Does anyone here know the different options for vga=XXX in GRUB, or have a link to a (comprehensive) list of them? [00:44] ice: is she hot? [00:44] *startup fole [00:45] Picachoo: joysticks should work if your joystick controlled is supported which is most prob is, however I wouldn't warrant than any special features of said joystick that depend on windows software will work [00:45] *file [00:45] i have a stupid question that is it reasonable to pay if i want to marry someone's daughter [00:45] I440r: I assume you have sudo rights? [00:45] Picachoo: your best bet if you are concerned is to google the model and linux to see what other's experiences have been [00:45] troll [00:45] is she ugly [00:45] anyone is going repond to me [00:45] icesword: she better be hot [00:45] i have root rights. first thing i ever do when im painted into a sudo corner is sudo passwd and switch to root [00:45] im root [00:45] !offtopic | icesword [00:45] icesword: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

Off to see what I can do. [00:47] evening all [00:48] do you know a guy name Borat [00:48] PriceChild, i am connected direct to my cable modem [00:48] um, has anyone ever used teamspeak? [00:48] pasted in the one for feisty as thats what i debootstrappeed. doing apt-get update (i think i remember thats what you do) [00:48] DIL_, yes [00:48] starked: yep, I suspected as much - if you'd been searching for grub options you wouldn't have gotten far [00:48] kbrooks, which probably isn't ipv6 compatible, nor your isp [00:48] I440r, yep, apt-get update, then apt-get install joe should work [00:48] hi [00:48] john_: yes [00:48] PriceChild, really? [00:48] what is the best and most flexible cross-platform programming language that can run nativly in both linux and windows [00:48] dogmeat: talkin to icesword [00:48] ya [00:49] where ubuntu free [00:49] DIL_, why [00:49] DIL_, is Borat a legit kazakstanee name? [00:49] kbrooks, the ipv6 rollout is only just beginning. [00:49] hello. I wonder why the apt package "mysql-server" depends on the package "exim4". any takers?

[00:49] i'm having bit of trouble getting the mic to work...i can hear people talking though [00:49] DIL_ I440r icesword: please see above [00:49] jack thats debateable :) [00:50] 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? [00:50] I440r, not intended for you sorry. [00:50] I440r: Does that answer your question on how to get joe? [00:50] john_: mic is usually muted by default iirc, have you tried alsamixer from the cmdline or the gnome vol control to correct? [00:50] PriceChild, if you can't actually get an Ubuntu question answered here, not sure what there is to talk about [00:50] How come when I want to install awesome it says I don't have libc6? If I try to install libc6 it says I have the latest version [00:50] lol i got joe but being able to get ubunto booted is my prime objective here... [00:50] dogmeat, its a good thing you can get questins answered then. No more offtopic chatter. [00:51] lol i was being humorous with the "your good to go" being debateable [00:51] yeah [00:51] I440r: :) [00:51] yes...it's unmuted and put to highest volume [00:51] why are my environment vars different if I run gnome-terminal with and without the -x option? [00:51] what are the linux kernel packages called? and is there one that will support ipw3945 out of the box and be able to boot form an external usb hard drive? [00:52] I440r, the standard ones will. [00:52] i have a couple of options in sound preferences to choose from though [00:52] I440r, linux-image is the name of the packages, im not sure on the second part though [00:52] patogen: where did you get the package from? [00:52] I440r, kernel image [00:52] "gnome-terminal" reads my .bashrc, "gnome-terminal -x vim" does not [00:52] PriceChild, ive never actually had an answer to any ubuntu related question i asked [00:52] how can i get ubuntu to log out after so many minutes? [00:52] can i get the current running kernel config from the stock image? or does it not provide something like /proc/config.gz? [00:52] PriceChild, the standard debian one didnt [00:52] NigelS_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/, it was in the hardy part ... I'm running gutsy however ... [00:52] I440r, this is #ubuntu. [00:52] PriceChild, i have been asked to go elsewhere when asking ubuntu questions on channel #debian [00:52] patogen: well there you go [00:52] dogmeat, a pity. [00:52] dogmeat, join the club, I never get help in this channel, usualy because I am busy giving it , what was your question [00:52] simmerz-> look in /boot/config.xxx.x.x. [00:52] patogen: the pkg is not configured for your system [00:53] macogw, ok, i didnt see what the issue was [00:53] ubuntu isn't debian, it only looks, smells, tastes and feels like debian ;) === Jannita is now known as Johanna [00:53] but it's not debian... [00:53] bytecolor, it is based on debian [00:53] bytecolor: well, it is debian [00:54] simmerz: the stock kernel doesn't provide config.gz afaik - though if you checkout the actual dev package you can see the config file [00:54] NigelS_: Well does hardy use other versions of libc6 or what? [00:54] This is the fourth time I've tried to install ubuntu. Each time, it hangs at scanning mirror configuring apt. [00:54] !hardy | patogen NigelS_ [00:54] patogen NigelS_: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [00:54] macogw, (im helping someone get their wireless working).. it wasnt upload that was an issue, its download.. if i transfer a large file from another computer on the same LAN over wireless im only geteting 100KB/s [00:54] Photocopy, unplug the network cable [00:54] NigelS_-> its in /boot/config-`uname -r` [00:54] ok, thats too confusing. which linux-image would you guys suggest? [00:54] I440r, the default one. [00:54] PriceChild: Why? And no. [00:54] Photocopy: try it next time with the network cable unplugged [00:54] I440r, -generic [00:54] what is the default one. how do i apt-get linux-image-default ? [00:55] generic [00:55] salut tout le monde [00:55] Photocopy, because its not able to use your network properly for some reason. Unplug it and it will give up and just continue.

[00:55] hello all......is there a way to do a forced reinstall of the OS via the command-line.....Im getting app freezes and segfaults [00:55] I440r, do you have the gui ? use synaptic , menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager [00:55] I440r, you have it installed?! [00:55] Jack_Sparrow; is it too late to unplug the network cable now and start the installation? It just booted off CD, its not hanging right now, im not that far yet [00:55] NigelS_: everything is un-muted...i do have a few option in the sound preferences [00:55] Photocopy-> not too late, unplugged the ethernet cable [00:55] price? [00:56] agreed [00:56] I440r, it is installed by default [00:56] i have the base system installed via debootstrap [00:56] i have nothing in /boot at all [00:56] dave, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will reinstall everyting gui related and the apps, not sure which meta package handels the backend stuff, possibly ubuntu-minimal === Spec is now known as x-spec-t [00:56] ho sorry [00:56] my mistake [00:56] I440r, any reason for not doing a normal install? [00:56] thx pelo [00:57] john_: forgetting about TS, can you get the mic working at all - if you try to record sound from it just in linux? [00:57] Photocopy: It may not be the answer, but if it is hanging on accessing the mirror, it should go past that if it has no connection.. that is the hope anyhow [00:57] limited time. and i mean SEVERELY limited. [00:57] PriceChild, what abnormal [00:57] but im downloading the iso now too [00:57] I440r, much quicker to download alternate cd and do it... [00:57] I440r, normal install is 30 min [00:57] icesword, pardon? [00:57] PriceChild, alternate cd? [00:58] I440r, just use whatever cd you're downloading. [00:58] it assumes i have the CD downloaded. tahts going to take 3 hours with this image :( [00:58] NigelS_: Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings. I guess I can't record at all [00:58] PriceChild, you said any reason for doing a not normal install] [00:58] ya [00:58] I440r, get it in torrent , 30 min to an hour [00:58] I440r, if you debootstrap, and get that ready then change all the config files needed and other random stuff... quite a long time [00:59] I440r, the standard install will ensure no problems [00:59] icesword, I wasn't talking to you? I don't understand your reply? [00:59] price ok [00:59] where can i download most popular linux games for free? [00:59] has anybody thought of a way to have auto complete when typing in the terminal window? IE it would guess what you are trying to type? [00:59] Picachoo, applications > add/remove [00:59] Picachoo, from the repos in add/remove or also try on www.getdeb.net [01:00] it would have to work from within X obiously [01:00] john_: yeah, check what your settings are in linux, then try fiddling with TS [01:00] does ubuntu recommend the use of a /boot partition? [01:00] how to know what are most popular Pelo [01:00] I440r, not needed [01:00] Picachoo: try google [01:00] Hey Guys, i had the audio working on this laptop and i installed a path (kernel-headers?) and know it says the device is not found. One of the intel audio cards. Installed the newest alsa last time [01:00] price i know its not - [01:00] I440r, the standard install is all on on partition, with swap [01:00] but is it recommended? [01:00] I440r, that's for you to decide [01:01] Picachoo, I don'T have an answer for that , just pick what you like I guess, we find that frozen bubbles in middly addictive [01:01] anybody? [01:01] i wont be creating a swap partition for this drive, it will use the existing swap partition on sda [01:01] hey having a problem with miro: if i use sudo I have no issues, but as a normal user I get dbus errors. any ideas?

[01:13] pike_ , x-window-syste-core gnome-session gnome-applets nautilus metacity gdm [01:13] including backing up, but when I tried to get my settings back I rebooted and still no sound [01:13] ahorriblemess, do you have a volume icon in the top panel ? [01:13] do I need to reinstall gutsy again or can I work around this somehow? [01:13] Pelo, kk done, it added a lot of crap under Sound [01:13] Pelo: yes but has a "no" symbol [01:13] kjoz, try typing alsamixer in the terminal again [01:14] m1r: echo $USER says your username? [01:14] NigelS_: looks like HIGHMEM_4G is set as an option, which means PAE is enabled, right?

How do I now do what it skipped? [01:17] m1r: if you run metacity & does it fix the problem? [01:17] Cpudan80, so. I would i use apt get or synaptic package manager? [01:17] what's a good program for transcoding audio on linux? (something similar to bonkenc) [01:18] Pelo: my graphics card is Nvidia and I had to do a few things to get that recognized, so when I see "Unknown Device" I assume it's the graphics card [01:18] Jack_Sparrow, please take over with kjoz you seem to know more about it [01:18] m1r: basically it sounds like your window manager isnt starting up [01:18] natlinuxnewbie: either or [01:18] 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?

Alright, its hard to find help here, thanks for earlier [01:20] pike_ i restared x and i lost borders again, i try resintall metacity [01:20] m1r: thats odd. not sure where that is set but you could sudo dpkg-reconfigure metacity or something maybe i dunno id probably just add it to something so it runs at startup [01:20] Pelo: the thing is, it worked when I first installed 7.10, up until I tried to reconfigure the sound card so I can get headphone recognition [01:20] kjoz http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55936/ save that text as a file on your desktop please [01:21] Photocopy: system admin update manager...

[01:21] ahorriblemess, find the howto you used again and gimme the links I'll see what I can find to undo [01:21] pike_ failed to load theme clearlooks, probably thats problem ? [01:21] Where are programs saved after you install them? [01:21] natlinuxnewbie: Now you configure it [01:21] Pelo: ok, thank you I appreciate it, I'll get it [01:21] Just for hack value because I have one, I was wondering if there's a PAM library file (or similar) that lets me use one of VeriSign's VIP Security Token keyfobs as a required piece of input for authentication [01:21] !samba | natlinuxnewbie [01:21] natlinuxnewbie: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[01:24] Cpudan80, thanx. I note on the first thing smbfs is depreciated. Should i ignore that? [01:24] pocketdrummer, start the prog, only have progs you want on startup running, go to menu > system> prefs> sessions , 3rd tab , click the save sesssion button [01:24] natlinuxnewbie: The first one was wrong, use the second link [01:24] ok [01:24] natlinuxnewbie: The first one tells you how to connect a windows share, if I understand you correctly -- you want to host a server accessible via windows (second thing) [01:25] Jack_Sparrow: yup, i am CD'd in the desktop in the terminal [01:25] ahorriblemess, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-tools [01:25] Pelo: Ok. But, just for reference, how would I do it if I went to "Add"? [01:25] kjoz: what did you name the file [01:25] pocketdrummer, it's buggy atm, better do it my way [01:25] Cpudan80, not sure about the server thing. I want windows to see my linux [01:25] i have a startup script (not written by me), i've used update-rc.d to set it to start on boot, but it never starts and i can't tell if it even tries to start. i can start it manually and it works. any ideas what could be wrong? [01:25] Pelo: Oh, ok. [01:25] Jack_Sparrow: script.txt [01:26] Pelo: thanks, should I keep my current version or say "no" because my current version is wrong? [01:26] kjoz: sudo bash script.txt [01:26] jerbear, you could just run it from rc.local [01:26] Pelo: I'm sorry, I mean type Y so install the provided package [01:26] ahorriblemess, say no [01:26] Dr_willis: yeh, but i shouldn't have to [01:26] jerbear, it may be the startup script is not doing somthing right - ive never written my own. [01:26] where does the ubuntu package for firefox3b3 live? [01:26] jerbear, compare it to the other scripts I guess. [01:26] hi yes , um i dont need any help i find out there is an IRC for this (via Pidgin) and for once everything seems to be going fine so yeah ;) awesome! [01:26] hi all i have just done sudo apt-get install gdm, then i typed "startx" its not working, can anyone help me [01:27] red_one: the beta3 wont be in the repos [01:27] ahorriblemess, you want to install the pacakge from the command I gave you , and ditch the one that currently is not working , so what ever answer fits that scenario [01:27] simmerz: I don't believe so, I have no systems with > 4gb of ram :) but I believe you want HIGHMEM_64G which is provided by the server kernel image I believe [01:27] System → Administration → Restricted Devices Manager I cant find this for some reason [01:27] acridfusion: welcome to ubuntu. /join #ubuntu-offtopic if ya wanna chat [01:27] Pelo: right, haha sorry for the confusion [01:27] I installed ubuntu, and then installed kubuntu desktop thru apt-get. now when I startup the loading logo is kubuntu, how di I switch it back? [01:27] hey thx pike [01:27] mike, gdm is the login manager, startx, starts up a X session. bypassing gdm. - [01:27] its lame that its called pidgin now.. i still like gaim =) [01:27] I'm trying to finish up my Ubuntu installation to my MacBook, but I'm wondering what Alt_GR does [01:27] does ANSI C compiler come with build-essential [01:27] Dr_willis: i could be wrong about this, but i think the only requirements are accepting the proper startup and shutdown commands [01:27] danielski_pl_: yep, gcc [01:27] Hi [01:27] dr_willis do i need to restat then [01:27] Back again/. [01:27] I'm sure this has been discussed before, but with all of the praise for new systems that use solid state disks I was wondering why people don't just install their OS on a flash drive and use the hard drive for data? Wouldn't that give you the same speed benefits? [01:28] Jack_Sparrow, not even 'experimental'? [01:28] Pelo: ok, well I typed N at first, then I entered the command again and hit "Y" and it said alsa-base and tools is already the newest version [01:28] jerbear, No idea really. Ubuntu uses 'upstart' now- So i dont know what the specifics are any more [01:28] ahorriblemess, this is the only thing I can find in those instrucitons that is easily undone, hopefully this will force a reinstall of the default options, try that if that doesn't work ,... backup yoru /home folder and reinstall [01:28] man [01:28] natlinuxnewbie: then you want a server [01:28] Why doesn't ubuntu display any users in the login window [01:28] Pelo: ok, thanks alot [01:28] When I had the LiveCD in I could see my NTFS Windows XP drive in the "Computer" In places. I cannot now that im on my installed ubuntu. Why? How can I fix this? [01:28] Pelo: uh.... I also don't really know how to backup my home folder [01:28] NigelS_: ah ok I see. That would explain why a machine with 4G RAM would only show 2.5G? the rest is in lowmem? [01:29] ahorriblemess, welcome to the joy of linux, messing up and then fixing it and still kepping your data and settings [01:29] Pelo: or how to use it to restore all my settings and driver info [01:29] Jack_Sparrow: kk its going [01:29] my Ubuntu doesnt show Restricted Devices Manager ! System → Administration → Restricted Devices Manager [01:29] red_one: Possibly, or perhaps ask in Ubuntu+1 Hardy [01:29] I installed ubuntu, and then installed kubuntu desktop thru apt-get. now when I startup the loading logo is kubuntu, how di I switch it back? === patti__ is now known as PaTeeLA [01:29] nigels: thanx [01:29] Jack_Sparrow, where? [01:29] Thedjatclubrock: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm i think [01:29] mike, start the gdm service perhaps? startx should spawn a X session IF X is configured right. [01:29] red_one: /j #Ubuntu+1 [01:29] elninja: an ordinary flash drive would connect via the usb bus I imagine - that wouldn't be as good as sata plus flash has a limited number of writes which you could burn through quite quickly under some ordinary conditions [01:29] When I had the LiveCD in I could see my NTFS Windows XP drive in the "Computer" In places. I cannot now that im on my installed ubuntu. Why? How can I fix this? [01:29] simmerz: there's a 3g/1g split [01:30] ahorriblemess, boot the live cd, create a new partiton out of the free space you have on the hdd, copy your /home filder to it , then just clean install ubuntu , use manual partitioning and tell itto use the partiton your /home folder is on for your /home folder === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:30] How do I set my desktop background to be a color instead of a picture?

How do I get my apple key to work like it does in OS X? [01:30] dr_willis it does, but then it says that x could not be started, is there a way to reconfigure it, its a server install and i have install 6.06 on this before and it worked fine [01:30] hi. after every reboot my machine forgets the WPA password. it is on manual configuration, and when I set the WPA key, it connects. there is wpa-psk line in /etc/network/interfaces among other settings, but it does not connect/authenticate after reboot. I have to go in the nm-applet to enter again the key so it authenticates. how to fix that? [01:30] It's probably something pretty simple but I have no idea how... [01:30] simmerz: http://kerneltrap.org/node/2450 [01:30] ahorriblemess, I can't help further tonight , I have to go and get some sleep, best of luck [01:30] kjoz: when it finishes you need to log out then back in. You might want to try alsamixer before you do.. [01:30] g'night all [01:30] What does it mean when Synaptic says something isn't authenticated? [01:30] Thanks [01:30] NigelS, wouldn't you have the same problem with a sata drive that uses flash memory? And you could use a swap partition on your hard drive, or a swap on a 2nd usb key, to mitigate the risk of data loss from wearing out the drive. [01:30] Pelo: thank you so much [01:31] * Pelo knows that Jack_Sparrow will be able to help everyone left [01:31] NigelS_: thanks [01:31] pike_: It is still the kubuntu logo :P [01:31] Ouch [01:31] mike, theres some command line to reconfigure X. but i never can rember it. :) odd that it stopped working. You may want to reinstall your nvidia or ati drivers. also.

[01:31] !usplash | Thedjatclubrock [01:31] Thedjatclubrock: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [01:31] pike_: The startup logo with the bar under it [01:31] sry for the repat, made by mistake [01:31] NigelS_, plus if the flash drive is just the OS and your data is on the hard disk. Then the worst case scenario is you have to reload the OS.

Lately I'm getting very bored of it, is it possible to download additional visualizations for Ubuntu? [01:33] elninja: yes, the interface isn't the point wrt the limited number of writes and people have changed the algorithms that handle disk commits to better distribute them over the disk - fragmentation is not an issue with flash after all since all blocks have the same access rate - so I expect people will use them in future; I'm looking forward to - just need the cost/size ratio to improve and overall capacity [01:34] How do I set my desktop background to be a color instead of a picture?

[01:39] anyone? [01:40] NigelS_, yeah. Right now though, you can pick up an 8gb drive for relatively cheap (<$50). In most cases, that 8gb is enough for the system files and software. Then you have the entire hard disk free to use for your swap partition, /home partition, and any other data. You can buy a second usb key to use for redundancy, in case your OS gets fucked up. That way you just plug in your backup, and everything is back up and running wi [01:40] thin seconds. [01:40] brb i have to see if the others can see me... [01:40] natlinuxnewbie: it should be safe [01:40] Photocopy: which version of ubuntu are you using? [01:40] 7.10 [01:41] natlinuxnewbie: I've never set up a samba server --- you should really read the doc and just try it, worst you can do is end up with a mucked up folder or something, no biggie [01:41] can someone point me a direction to configure a laserjet 6p in ubuntu server [01:41] NigelS_: 7.10 [01:41] Cpudan80, i did read it.

[01:42] Photocopy: well the error implies that you already have the drive listed in fstab - and gnome should automount your drives anyway - what;s in your /etc/fstab? [01:42] Oh yeah, NigelS_ Its actually IN there [01:42] I dont understand how to mount it [01:43] !install | billenium there's a variety of ways to install [01:43] billenium there's a variety of ways to install: ntation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - Also /msg ubotu automate [01:43] athlon 64's run fine in 32 bit mode right ? [01:43] NigelS_: Fstab: http://pastebin.com/m3fbccf38 [01:43] yes [01:43] they're just optimized for 64? [01:43] Starseed: yes [01:43] k [01:43] Is there a way to make screenlets pop up only when you press a button (like dashboard?) [01:43] Photocopy: if you go to the computer section in places it ought be there, you can right click and mount - or otherwise type sudo mount /dev/sda1 [01:43] Its not there [01:43] Thanks ill try [01:44] if a file /dev/fuse has permissions: crw-rw---- root fuse and I am a member of group "fuse" shouldn't I be able to access the file? [01:44] it didnt work NigelS_ [01:44] mike: Around? [01:44] NigelS_: http://pastebin.com/m2e5ab96f [01:45] wine wont allow sounds if i install a windows game by it? [01:46] Picachoo: i think wine uses OSS and not ALSA [01:46] Starseed, I have amd64, still run 32-bit for browser plugin compatibility [01:46] karl__ whats oss and alsa? [01:46] karl__, baaad wine! :) [01:46] NigelS_: Hello? After trying that mount command I got this error: http://pastebin.com/m2e5ab96f [01:46] Picachoo: they are two different sound servers === dosyl1 is now known as dosyl [01:46] OSS is older [01:47] ALSA has OSS emulation, so you should be able to configure it to work [01:47] might take a bit of tweaking [01:47] Cpudan80, I right clicked on that windowsShared and set the share properities there. Now windows can see it but its asking for username and password. Whys it doing that when there is no username and password set on it? [01:47] Picachoo, OSS is close to hardware sound, and ALSA is a nice sound layer that provides compatibility and adherence to standards such as Open AL [01:47] so i can run a windows game in linux with sounds same like i run it in windows? [01:47] maximilion_: thanks for the acurate description [01:47] natlinuxnewbie: You have to setup the folder properly, I dont really know how to do it [01:48] NigelS_, sorry... I am at a pub right now... by nativly I mean you can make programs to run for linux or windows and they can run them without needing to install anything... compiling is okay though [01:48] Anyway [01:48] I need to go [01:48] Picachoo: if it works correctly itll have sound just fine sure [01:48] Gotta go help some intro CS kids with Java [01:48] C ya'll later === JohnnyFedora` is now known as thezanke [01:48] cpu thnx [01:48] hi [01:48] Photocopy: ah, then I know your problem [01:48] karl__, I'm still not sure I've got that 100%, but that's how I've perceived it anyway :) [01:48] kdevelop is for kde, what's for gnome? [01:48] NigelS_: Is it fixable easilY? lol [01:48] pike maximilion_ oss only gives beeps i guess. and its used by wine. so no real sound ? [01:48] Thatss [01:49] important [01:49] Help! New iPod Nano won't work. Mounts just fine, music transfers with Amerok, can see the music, but iPod won't see it. As soon as its unmounted it says there's no music. iPod was a gift to wife for Valentines day. [01:49] Picachoo, No no, you will get accurate sound both if you spend some time setting up OSS or emulating it with ALSA :) [01:49] Photocopy: gnome is automounting but for some reason your ntfs partition has been marked as dirty - that is to say it wasn't properly shut down - you need to boot into windows and then run a disk check on it, maybe schedule one - otherwise you can use the ntfsfix tools to fix the partition, or you can temporarily force the mount - I wouldn't recomment the last option [01:49] maximilion_ will that slow the speed of game or it will be just like windows speed? [01:50] Picachoo, what you mean is System Beep I think (the small speaker on the mobo :P) [01:50] Photocopy: additionally, you're currently using the ntfs module whereas the newer ntfs-3g (fuse based) module allows for read/write [01:50] see you [01:50] PROBLEMS .... how to convert whatever to mp4 or mov? [01:50] say avi [01:50] maximilion_ yes [01:50] NigelS_: Im confuuuuuuuused. What do I do? And Yes I need Read/write. Thats important too [01:50] I didnt realize that it would be this difficult to find [01:50] Photocopy: I just told you [01:50] maximilion_ i use mirc and it does that [01:50] ffmpeg just "says" it support it, but it doesnt convert [01:51] pike_: It shutsdown w/ my logo but restarts with kubuntu;s [01:51] NigelS_: Cause I dont know what that means. Can you make that any simpler? [01:51] barata, i use avidmux to do that. [01:51] Picachoo, I really have no idea if it will slow things down. I emulate OSS via ALSA and I get 156 fps in Quake 3 in 1600x1200 (not running in wine, but just an example :P) [01:51] TOO LONG Dr_willis [01:51] I want something with the command [01:51] barata, Huh? [01:51] NigelS_: he is using ntfs-3g [01:51] lets be more vague then barata ..... [01:51] maximilion_ is quak 3 free? [01:52] Photocopy: Are you using Ubuntu 7.10 ? [01:52] Picachoo, ioquake3 is (google) [01:52] mahmoud2:Yes [01:52] maximilion_ direct dl link? [01:52] avidemux is too long Dr_willis [01:52] Me, I have the original, so I put in some time to make the original work :) [01:52] maximilion_ what do you use if you dont use wine? [01:52] huh? [01:52] thezanke: well, it depends what you want - if you want to have a gui this is where there are some issues - you could use java of course but that would break your no-install rule - you can do it in gtk, but that looks clunky to some, or qt which is cross-platform [01:52] I use Ubuntu :) [01:52] Can somebody help me with an iPod nano? [01:52] I use ffmpeg maximilion_ [01:52] Photocopy: then you are using ntfs-3g .. Is that an external HD ? [01:52] mahmoud2: have they aliased ntfs to ntfs-3g now? his fstab still lists ntfs [01:53] mahmoud2: No... [01:53] maximilion_ what do you use if you dont use wine? [01:53] Photocopy: you just need to boot into windows and run a disk check - should fix it [01:53] But yeah, I will get around to installing wine some day... Used Linux 2 years ago, but I've just had Ubuntu 4 days, gimme some time will ya ? :) [01:53] NigelS_: I dont know how to do that... [01:53] NigelS_: yes ntfs is aliased to ntfs-3g ... Ubuntu does not use the old ntfs anymore .. [01:53] maximilion_ what do you use if you dont use wine? [01:53] i use avidmux which is a front end to ffmpeg and other tools.... [01:53] mahmoud2: good good [01:53] Picachoo, read please ! :( [01:54] mahmoud2 it asked me to pick one or the other and said the other was unstable, with the default answer being no, so I picked it [01:54] up there, a few lines below your second repetition ;) [01:54] maximilion_ iam only saying that if i installed wine and run a windows game by it. will lit be the same as windows run it? [01:54] Photocopy: You need to boot into Windows and check the disk [01:54] h3llo all [01:54] mahmoud2: How? [01:54] ok ... I'm testing avidemux [01:54] Photocopy: you can boot into windows i'm sure - then right click on my computer or the correct volume and select the tools tab then run a disk check [01:54] how do you change the timeout on GRUB [01:54] Thanks nigels_ [01:55] mahmoud2, the terrorist from UAE? [01:55] theres still one itsy problem [01:55] Photocopy: possibly simply booting into it and exiting it will fix it but this way you can be sure [01:55] Alangara, its a setting in the menu.lst file near the top [01:55] bruenig, what's going on with #politics? [01:55] Alangara: edit /etc/grub.conf [01:55] barata: ??? [01:55] Why doesn't ubuntu display any users in the login window [01:55] is it now censored [01:55] Why doesn't ubuntu display any users in the login window [01:55] NigelS_: About that one thing with that ntfs 3g or whatever... it asked me to pick one or the other and said the other was unstable, with the default answer being no, so I picked no... I dont think I actually have that. [01:55] cant, getting a not authorized error [01:55] barata, it isn't censored [01:55] The script at [01:55] !ntfs [01:55] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [01:55] said so [01:55] I cant joint bruenig [01:55] Photocopy: from Windows Explorer you right click on the properties of the partition then Tools > Error Checking [01:56] Thedjatclubrock: because you haven't enabled it in system->admin->login manger [01:56] barata, I don't know why [01:56] Can someone help me with an iPod nano? [01:56] nickrud: No, I have, it used to list the users, but now it doesn't [01:56] Alangara, use sudo if its in the command line and gksu gedit if you want gui [01:56] Thedjatclubrock: is it still enabled? [01:56] nickrud: Chmod [01:56] ? [01:56] nickrud: Yes [01:56] su root [01:56] chinge 9999 [01:56] hey guys, I'm finding that the gnome volume applet doesn't take the logarithmic quality of sound into account [01:56] nickrud: I see where it is supposed to be [01:56] Photocopy: You probably did not shutdown your windows properly .. or your partition has a problem. [01:56] k.. what would i put in the line to have it not automatticly go to the first on the list? [01:57] Picachoo, wine is not an emulator - it runs the intel code right off, so you should get the same CPU performance. To get the best video card performance, put in some time to get the correct Ubuntu gfx card drivers. Sound shouldn't effect graphics performance at all, but if you have a Pentium 3 sound might slow things down... [01:57] just non mae [01:57] barata: so what were you saying ? [01:57] barata: you need to be registered and identified with NickServ to go there [01:57] does the applet just interact with the ALSA mixer? [01:57] Thedjatclubrock: just non mae ? [01:57] Thedjatclubrock, different gnome themes either show , or dont show the list of users, and pictures. [01:57] how load a mod? [01:57] or does it interact with the driver module directly? [01:57] mahmoud2: I understand, but that little talk between you and NigelS_: about that ntfs3g thing worries me that i dont think i can read/write once ive disk checked anyway [01:57] Is there a way to turn down the brightness of my monitor inside of Ubuntu? [01:57] Photocopy: I see, I'm not so familiar with the latest ubuntu installer I'm afraid since it was a long while ago that I actually had to install but let's fix the first problem then we can see if you have write support later [01:58] Dr_willis: It used to show all users (I know I haven't changed it) [01:58] Picachoo, I really can't promise anything about wine - if you want 100% compatibility and performance, run Windoze I guess - but the beauty of Linux is it's easy and safe to install things and try ! :) [01:58] hello.... i have a brother MFC-5440CN printer and i have a project tommorrow that i would really like to print off instead of putting it on a flash drive and taking it in asking a teacher to print it. I forget where the cups error logs are but i remember it saying the error was due to something called filters, how would i fix these to work with my printer? [01:58] NigelS_:Thanks [01:58] Ill try the disk check now then [01:58] bah. :) [01:58] .. [01:58] Photocopy: Do not worry .. NigelS_ got confused .. just do the error check :) [01:59] Me, I will install Wine just to run Win98 DirectX games :) [01:59] Wish me luck :P [01:59] on the grub/menu.lst what should be entered to cancel out the timeout feature? [01:59] woohoo, for the first time in ~8 years I finally have a linux setup where 'everything works' [01:59] where it load the OS after so long [02:00] hey feysalus congrats! :) [02:00] that your Arabo Islamo terrorist kind is illegally using linux mahmoud2 ! [02:00] yeah I'm really chilling now 8) [02:00] Alangara, look in the file. theres a setting. Its default to 109 [02:00] mahmoud2: well, I wouldn't say confused per se; just not entirely abrest of the changelog ;P [02:00] Alangara, look in the file. theres a setting. Its default to 10 i mean. :) [02:00] I installed SUSE 2 years ago, there was always some hassle... Ubuntu made me finally stop from booting XP so often :) [02:00] hey .. the GPL is under US law that says ... 'no export of technology to terrorist' [02:00] emma: you can change the xgamma, how you do it will depend on your video card [02:00] !language | barata [02:00] barata: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:01] emma: and the driver that vid card is using [02:01] how do i take out the default time? [02:01] and the GPL does comply too actually [02:01] ubuntu rocks [02:01] to never timeout [02:01] Alangara, 'Timeout 10' change it to whatever... [02:01] Indeed it does :) [02:01] I installed Mint Linux on a Sony Vaio laptop I bought during the summer (because vista was crappy and I didnt want to buy XP). After I installed linux, it kept complaining that a hard drive failure was immenent, but everything worked fine so I ignored it [02:01] Alangara, change the setting to 0 seconds [02:01] i got mine set to 60, [02:01] anyhow, it seems the hard drive has failed [02:01] Time to hit the hay, nn guys :) [02:01] hello [02:01] is linux to blame? I have no reason to believe that the hard drive was going to fail before hand. Did I do someting wrong? Bad kernel settings? [02:01] (and possibly gals) [02:01] okie dokie... tnk [02:01] I need to know if I should avoid installing linux on expensive laptops in the future [02:01] Nugget_: it kept telling you ... [02:01] I have a question is there any program to download mp3 music like limewire for Ubuntu/ [02:02] Nugget_ i'd bet the drive was bad [02:02] Nugget_, hard drives are the most unreliable part of a computer. [02:02] Nugget_: you ignored a smart warning that a HD failure was about to happen? how long did that carry on for? [02:02] NigelS_, well I dont one single program that i make to run on both OSes i just need to be able to write things for both OSes [02:02] hey ubotu ... the topic is something like 'Ubuntu is being used by Arabo-animal terrorist and it is against the GPL" [02:02] how about that? [02:02] I have a question is there any program to download mp3 music like limewire for Ubuntu? c [02:02] barata: besides you have to read the GPL carefully .. because it allows uses for any purpose :P [02:02] NigelS_, it didnt complain till i installed linux [02:02] Dr_willis, I count the days until humanity can leave clunky mechanical devices and move on... ;) [02:02] you're tedious barata [02:02] p2p?

Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) - Thanks. [02:04] nickrud, its in the high-end macs now. :) I rember when lcd's were 1000$+ now look at them.

[02:30] but i think its a little more advanced [02:30] iratik: how? [02:30] FLUXxXx, just remove sysklogd and install Rsyslog? [02:30] ally_xxxoo: it really depends on your use case, but dovecot is ok [02:30] iratik, Rafabe There is a text mode option on the *DVD*, but not the liveCD === SinNoAria__ is now known as SinNoAria [02:30] amenado: that's correct [02:31] NigelS_: what to use it ? i have error :S [02:31] Does anybody have any experience with webcams on ubuntu hardy a4?

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [02:47] Hi thiemster [02:47] do you have Frostwire? [02:51] MrPiracy, it's a vector graphic program. I use it for flyers and such.. Other programs may be affected in the same way. [02:51] FLUXxXx: Hey man, only one request is needed. ANd to install stuff in ubuntu, you need to use the command "sudo aptitude install package-name-here" === TDK is now known as TKingdom [02:51] Scunizi: i dont have this program installed here [02:51] !darwin [02:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about darwin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:51] !opendarwin [02:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about opendarwin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:51] !puredarwin [02:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about puredarwin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:52] someone on craigslist is selling a computer with Ubuntu 10.4, is it a typo?

[02:52] cause there's quite a few google results [02:52] Rafabe: Yes [02:52] Rafabe, it is a typo indeed [02:52] is there a way to set the background to clear/see thru so that programs like xchat will see the compiz setup in the background instead of a selected background ? [02:52] i just wanted these fonts to be available to all the programs i have [02:52] Hey guys i dont know where to ask this.. I have a hard drive with Ubuntu and Windows XP... Would I come across any difficulties adding VISTA to that hard drive? (tri-boot) [02:52] i installed the new kernel, and now my computer won't boot [02:52] ok, thanks [02:52] aO|DBlade-DX: Yes. Vista will install over the grub in the MBR. [02:53] it just goes into to ash [02:53] aO|DBlade-DX: Although that's simply remedied. [02:53] rpj8, How? [02:53] does anyone have problems installation lamp through 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' mine stops at 100% [02:53] yes, you will lose your mbr and not be able to get a bootloader to work, you would need a disk to restore. [02:53] aO|DBlade-DX: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [02:53] aO|DBlade-DX: It is really really _really_ easy.

I need to pass an option to it [02:54] Happy Single Awareness Day! [02:54] i really need help, i have a term paper due [02:54] MrPiracy_: You could try copying them to /usr/share/fonts/X11/ (I think) [02:54] Anyone use a USB joystick with GXMame? [02:54] rpj8: got one for me?Hi all, I am using gutsy gobbon and I have been having problems ever since install. sometimes when I turn the computer on the resolution has reset itself to 1600x1200 and I will have to open the resolution screen, choose 1024 again and then reboot (it does not imediatly update either, I need to reboot) anyone know how to make it so it will always start in 1024? I did check the box to make it my default but tha [02:54] t is obviously not working. [02:55] rpj8: hold on, lemme check, but i think this is where i copied them to [02:55] frogmeat: You could manually edit your xorg.conf file to make it so there's only ONE available screen resolution. [02:55] frogmeat: do you need the 1600x resolution setting? [02:55] frogmeat: You should also check the x logs located in /var/log/X11 (I think) [02:55] frogmeat: what rpj8 said [02:55] rpj8:i installed the kernel that was just pushed out, then restarted. it says it can't find /dev/sda4, or anything else. it drops into ash and tells me to fix it [02:55] To make sure nothing bad happened [02:56] does anyone have problems installation lamp through 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' mine stops at 100% [02:56] rpj8: hmmmmm, they're not there, now i dont know where i put them anymore lol [02:56] spike42: Think you meant that for someone else. [02:56] MrPiracy: Hehe. [02:56] rpj8: which command should i type after copying the files to this folder? [02:56] MrPiracy: Commande use-my-fonts-in-Pidgin [02:56] MrPiracy: I unno. Should just work.

Right now it says i have too many partitions [02:56] i have a brother MFC-5440CN printer and i have a project tommorrow that i would really like to print off instead of putting it on a flash drive and taking it in asking a teacher to print it. I forget where the cups error logs are but i remember it saying the error was due to something called filters, how would i fix these to work with my printer? [02:56] rpj8: who should i ask? [02:57] rpj8: just to copy the files? last time i did a compile fonts command, but i dont remember what it was [02:57] rpj8: i saw it on a website somewhere [02:57] where's the place /dev/net/tun device node is created? [02:57] spike42: Not me. I've never been dropped to ash ever in my life. [02:57] MrPiracy: Hmm. [02:57] its exactly like bash [02:58] MrPiracy: see if this guy helps you at all: http://www.myfonts.com/Article1391.html [02:58] but it doesn't find any of my hard disk partitions, which is what the error said [02:58] spike42: Hm. How did you install the new kernel? Through updates or did you roll it yourself [02:58] I need to set MODE 0666 to such device node, but my UDEV hacking doen't works :( [02:58] spike42: Also, if you still have the option to, boot into the old kernel. [02:59] through updates [02:59] wow that's alot of users [02:59] spike42, Are you talking about busybox? [02:59] and i'm using lilo, and doesn't see the old kernel [02:59] busybox? [02:59] spike42: lilo? Last I knew Ubuntu used grub. [02:59] spike42, Any reason why you are using lilo? [02:59] Hello people. Anybody have an idea as to how to get the ratings from itunes importet to AmaroK? [02:59] Any help would greatly appriciated, since I hate Appel... and luuuuuurves tux [02:59] i know, i had to finagle it [03:00] Dude, HOW to install rsyslog on Ubuntu Gusty ?!?! [03:00] novell eats grub for some reason [03:00] FLUXxXx: You install things in Ubuntu with aptitude. [03:00] so, the ls -l command output is: crw------- 1 root root 10, 200 2007-11-04 18:07 /dev/net/tun [03:00] or somesuch, i dual boot and grub gets eatn [03:00] FLUXxXx: "sudo aptitude install rsyslog" sounds like a winner. [03:00] FLUXxXx: Google is also your very best friend. [03:00] spike42, What do you mean by "novelle eats grub" ? Are you dual booting? [03:01] yup [03:01] spike42, Ahh, you should be able to simply re-install grub, no lilo needed [03:01] !grub | spike42 [03:01] spike42: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[03:02] when i install grub, it spins [03:02] i've tried using the hardy repos [03:02] !lag !!

[03:03] that's MY post rpj8 [03:03] and its not lilo thats failing [03:03] FLUXxXx: Adding hardy repos won't... help./ [03:03] Could anyone help me with a Partitioning Problem? I have a hard drive with Win XP, Storage, Ubuntu, Swap... And I want to combine(extended) the WIN and STORAGE and also the UBUNTU and SWAP. Right now it says i have too many partitions ----- Or recommend a bootable PARTITIONER???? [03:03] does anyone here know what a print filter is? [03:03] FLUXxXx: Hardy repos assume you have other dependencies, which you don't. [03:03] from source [03:03] yeaaaaah [03:03] :) [03:03] whats the name of the hardware monitor program for gnome [03:03] i get into the normal boot sequence, then it goes "looking for root partition" then fails out [03:03] FLUXxXx: now you have a real problem, you hav a mixed system [03:03] FLUXxXx: What's the problem with just waiting for hardy? === Jannita is now known as Johanna [03:04] spike42, if the initramfs is broken the kernel won't be able to load basic drivers and therefore won't be able to see the root fs [03:04] spike42, I'm not sure if you got the same problem as I had last kernel update, but try booting from the CD, chrooting to your system and running update-initramfs [03:04] yea [03:04] Hi Im a recovering Windows user and I'm wondering if there is an HTML editor like Seamonkey or Dreamweaver in the Dapper repositories [03:04] thats what it said! [03:04] FLUXxXx: bottom line, since you're already half hardy you might as well go all the way, see if it works. Your only other fix is a reinstall [03:04] something about initramfs [03:04] rpj8: i just bought a router which has an option to use SYSLOG. and i want to install and configure rsyslog to capture the router's LOG [03:04] Hey, does anyone know a quick way (using samba/smbclient) to tell a remote machine to copy files between two shares on the same remote machine, without having the copy occur over the network interface? [03:04] through a LAN connection [03:04] whats the name of the hardware monitor program for gnome [03:04] i don't know if sysklogd can do that rpj8 [03:04] FLUXxXx: Look at what nickrud said.

[03:05] mohbana, gnome-system-monitor [03:05] i think i got it [03:06] you want me to go to my cd (i use alt install) [03:06] run till i can access my hd [03:06] spike42, yes [03:06] then chroot to /target [03:06] chuy_max, thats not it [03:06] then do update-initramfs [03:06] spike42, I wrote detailed instructions in the forums [03:06] spike42, /msg chanserv access #openmoko list [03:06] thanks [03:06] spike42, oops [03:06] !firefox [03:06] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

[03:07] thanks a lot! [03:07] youre a life saver! [03:07] I don't know how to revert to the previous drivers either [03:08] Soludra: to revert to previous drivers (vesa), edit your xorg.conf file, change the driver to vesa [03:08] Soludra: "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [03:08] spike42, actually what i ran is mkinitramfs, but it's probably ran by update-initramfs anyways. you can try the instructions in the forums first [03:08] mohbana: you want to install and configure lmsensors [03:08] NigelS_, ive done that [03:08] Soludra: find the place that says "nvidia" and change it to vesa [03:08] does ubuntu protect my internetz? [03:08] mohbana: there are then gnome-applets to report on those [03:08] hello folks [03:08] Soludra: There's a chance your videocard isn't supported for some reason.

[03:09] rpj8: I found an 'nv' entry, but no "nvidia" entry [03:09] I have an ubuntu machine and I want to scan for viruses on another computer(linux too) in the same network?

Try installing 'nvidia-glx' or 'nvidia-glx-new' for the proprietary ones. [03:10] !virus [03:10] eko_hermiyanto: you can use clamav, mount the remote machine's samba shares with fuse-smb etc [03:10] Soludra: If you have a newer card, go for -new [03:10] viktor: emerald and metacity for window titles and borders, gtk2 for inside the windows [03:10] ok, if i can't use system -> preferences -> screen resolution to change my resolution... wth am i supposed to use? === ubuntu is now known as perrako [03:11] Is it normal my xorg.conf does not have a Module section? [03:11] pteague, edit your xorg? [03:11] rpj8: it says I've already installed that. [03:11] xsystemx: Does everything work as it should? [03:11] Soludra: then change the nv to nvidia [03:11] a game changed my current resolution somehow... how the hell do i change it back? [03:11] rpj8 - yes, so far, I am trying to configure everything for compiz [03:11] pteague: try clt-alt +/- [03:11] pteague, ctrl+alt+backspace [03:12] xsystemx, Xorg is becoming less dependent on the Xorg.conf with every release [03:12] pteague: not backspace, that restarts X [03:12] nickrud, right.. [03:12] xsystemx: Then I wouldn't worry about it. If it's not there, you obviously don't need it. [03:12] Scunizi: lol, what a boo boo [03:12] Hey guys -- this morning I awoke to the pretty picture of grub error 17. I didn't restart my computer, so it must have done it. [03:12] nickrud, only thing that has worked for me when a game goofed the res [03:12] right now, I can't boot onto my ubuntu or windows partitions [03:12] kind of like aptitude not relying on super cow powers [03:12] * wease| frowns [03:12] Super Grub Disk didn't work, and I'm in the live cd right now and it doesn't show those partitions [03:13] i have a brother MFC-5440CN printer and i have a project tommorrow that i would really like to print off instead of putting it on a flash drive and taking it in asking a teacher to print it. I forget where the cups error logs are but i remember it saying the error was due to something called filters, how would i fix these to work with my printer? [03:13] perrako: HD failure? [03:13] perrako: Boot from a live cd, follow this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [03:13] i do miss those cows [03:13] I'm scared it might be hd failure [03:13] ok, is there a way to change my screen resolution without rebooting the x server? [03:13] Scunizi: restarting X was my next advice, if the +/- didn't work. But mentioning why you suggested backspace would prevent suprises [03:13] perrako: Oooo ouch. on second thought it might be an hdd failure. [03:13] perrako: if your machine rebooted itself, and you can see no partitions it doesn't look good [03:13] nickrud, sometimes takes the fun out of it.. but I see your point. [03:13] How come when I have my graphics card drivers installed, my computer screen will randomly turn black and there is no way to fix it unless I restart the computer, is there a way to fix this? [03:14] perrako: from the livecd try using the SMART tools to check it [03:14] thx all [03:14] kenan_: Your card might not be supported by the drivers. [03:14] kenan_: which driver? [03:14] K, let's see how that goes [03:14] kenan_: What kind of card do you have, and what does it say under driver in "etc/X11/org.conf" [03:14] Okay, got kind of a strange question: How do I discover what user/group combination the apache server on my Ubuntu box is using? [03:14] Wow, loads of X problems tonight. [03:14] finally [03:14] rpj8: I changed the config file, should I restart X now? [03:15] pteague: if the +/- doesn't, and the change res doesn't, then restart is basically it [03:15] rpj8: my drivers are supported i have an ati radeon 1100 and the graphics work fine and everything, but i will be working on something, then boom, black screen and i have to restart computer [03:15] i just got my irc working with ubuntu [03:15] RedHeron: ls -l /var/www [03:15] i rarely have issues with X so this interesting [03:15] RedHeron: ls /etc/passwd |grep apache [03:15] nickrud: That's not correct. [03:15] RedHeron: ls -l /var/www -d that is [03:15] kenan_: which driver are you using? [03:15] Soludra: yep. give it a whirl [03:15] NigelS_, where are the smart tools? [03:16] can someone help me out i cant seem to get java on ubuntu [03:16] kenan_: Definitely sounds like your card isn't *fully* supported. File a bug report at bugs.launchpad.net [03:16] perrako: the smartmontools pkg iirc [03:16] why does system -> preferences -> screen resolution rely only on xrandr? surely there's a way to get xvidmode to change the resolution? [03:16] k [03:16] nickrud: It's telling me root, which I already tried and which is incorrect. [03:16] NigelS_: i cant check right now as i am not using that computer this is actually a problem my friend is having but we installed it via envy [03:16] rpj8: No results. [03:16] I have an external usb hard drive that I want to use just to transfer files to and fro. How do I get enough of an os on it to accomplish that? [03:16] RedHeron: it should be user www-data and group root [03:16] nickrud: Thanks. [03:16] RedHeron cat /etc/apache2/apache2.conf |grep Group [03:16] kenan_: what is envy? [03:17] NigelS_: ive read on the forums that people use the same card as me and its fine for them and I have windows dual booted and i dont get any errors [03:17] RedHeron: My bad...

[03:17] RedHeron: it only matters if apache is expected to write to there [03:17] rpj8: yes, passwd and group [03:17] can someone help me out i cant seem to get java on ubuntu [03:17] kenan_: well windows uses an entirely different driver so its not really relevant to this - I ask as ATI written drivers have problems with black screens and hanging x servers [03:17] hi nickrud [03:17] HELLO! Why doesn't Ubuntu have the /proc/config file? I want to get the latest kernel package, copy the running kernel .config and run make oldconfig [03:17] I'm not a Ubuntu user so I can't help him out, but I'd really appreciate it if any of you could. [03:17] kenan_: you are using fglrx I imagine [03:17] zelrikriando: hi there [03:18] how do i get the .config file for the currently running kernel ? [03:18] in ubuntu 7.10?? [03:18] RedHeron: Ah, my bad. it wasn't 'ls'. it was 'cat' [03:18] NigelS_: yes i am [03:18] kenan_: sounds like a bug with them [03:18] rpj8: Thanks. [03:18] RedHeron: Pretty sure if you used cat /etc/passwd |grep apache it'd work [03:18] CyanideD: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [03:18] kenan_: they are very buggy, ati still can't write drivers even after the amd takeover [03:18] FLUXxXx: There are a .... TON of .config files. [03:18] FLUXxXx: Which one are you looking for specifically. === co_kenter_fs is now known as co_edan [03:18] thanks [03:19] rpj8: No results.

Either I just am not that advanced or you have no idea what you're talking about [03:20] UncleChevitz: i know Seamonkey is available for linux and if you get WINE, you can run Dreamweaver 8 with Ubuntu [03:21] UncleChevitz, I didn't know people still used dreamweaver. [03:21] rpj8: Already did. :D [03:21] FLUXxXx, /boot directory ? [03:21] yes, i found it [03:21] RedHeron: Heh. woo. Sorry about that. [03:21] a question of ctags [03:21] aaron_: ##c knows much more about ctags than #ubuntu [03:22] but why wasn't the option CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL enabled in generic kernel ? [03:22] rpj8: Can't be right 100% of the time... no worries. [03:22] i have a Brother MFC-5440CN and i have it set up to print, but when i print, the error logs read something about a filter or something.... i dont know where the error logs are so i cant find the actual error......... does anyone know how to fix these filters? [03:22] FLUXxXx: because it's a production kernel?

[03:42] LIFE [03:42] jbalcaen_: did both today, one of them worked [03:42] rpj8: #cups is always inactive, and last time i did that, i had one of my frequent computer crashes [03:42] i'm having a weird problem... sometimes, i cannot access my samba server/shares via \\ComputerName but only ip address. for example, i could type in \\192.168.1.100 and access the files *ALL THE TIME* but only \\ComputerName some of the time. any idea what could be causing this?

[03:43] rpj8, I only able to use ubuntu :) [03:43] eko_hermiyanto: assuming you have samba server on your gentoo box [03:43] nickrud-> " Learning Ubuntu has a steep learning curve but if you fall, you always got #ubuntu to catch you." makes a great ad. [03:43] eko_hermiyanto: Ahhhh ok [03:43] !alternative | jordan [03:43] I actually don't have a crossove cable right now....is there a way to just use a patch to go one way [03:43] jordan: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD.

It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal [03:43] Chrisbst1: unless you have a spare router/switch sitting around you can use [03:43] eko_hermiyanto: Open up /etc/samba/smb.conf on the gentoo box. [03:43] i tried both but neither work [03:43] kahrytan: lol, it definitely has potential [03:43] rpj8, ok then? [03:43] fail to start X server [03:43] <___Oz___> If I have things installed under ubuntu that aren't in xubuntu, it won't uninstall them by doing this (the install), right? [03:43] jtmoney: nmbd - the net bios daemon - windows networking is a pain in the neck at the best of times [03:44] nickrud-> or something to the fact.

[03:44] NigelS_: you know, nmbd isn't even running on my machine [03:44] Chrisbst1: if you have a router/switch inbetween the laptop/desktop then you could use patch cables [03:45] Chrisbst1: but i believe if you are connecting straight through the two you need a cross over [03:45] jtmoney: you're probably not sharing files from your machine? [03:45] Soludra: that's very odd. try switching back to the vesa driver and see if you still get the low-graphics mode notice. [03:45] otherwise no? [03:45] nickrud-> Or " You can't fail with Linux, #ubuntu won't let you" [03:45] Would someone please test Ekiga with me ? I speak both English and French fluently, send me a private message.

[03:45] kahrytan: that's excellent :) [03:45] NigelS_: no, i am, i can access files no problem [03:45] Chrisbst1: i would guess you could get a 6 foot or so for like 10-15 bucks [03:45] NigelS_: do you want to look at my /etc/samba/smb.conf? :) [03:46] jtmoney: post it if you like [03:46] i cant get the gui to work [03:46] jtmoney: what else is on your network? [03:46] X_X [03:46] it freezes on livecd boot [03:46] ok, I'm off to Fry's but I'll come back if I need any more help. Thanks meek, I appreciate it! [03:46] Jordan-> give us your computers specs? [03:46] Chrisbst1: no problem [03:46] 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?

Eventually, error will show. [03:47] k [03:47] Jordan, what's the last command you see before it freezes? [03:47] Jordan-> it may take long time [03:48] Geoffrey2-> freeze on startup [03:48] it shows up X server error on regular cd [03:48] then it goes to cli [03:48] Jordan-> and that is? [03:48] Hello everybody [03:48] does anyone know how to change the address from where my dhcp discovers from ? Its still trying to discover fromt my work gateway and now I'm at home...so its a completely different gateway. [03:49] apparently its the gui. gnome loads, but it wont show a gui [03:49] what is xubuntu's gksudo equivelent? [03:49] Jordan-> can you log out and start plain xwindows? [03:50] i upgraded to gutsy and now the update-manager is not in my menu bar, how do I get that back? [03:50] no. it has no window programs or guis running. just command line [03:50] musikgoat: Since XFCE also uses GTK, gksudo is what you still want [03:50] rpj8, done [03:51] I have put it in pastebin.com [03:51] with my name eko_hermiyanto [03:51] <___Oz___> so... I installed xubuntu. [03:51] so, does anyone here know how to set up a default optional flag in grub? [03:51] <___Oz___> How do I... activate it? [03:51] Heh, want to paste the url to it? [03:51] oh, thanks genii [03:51] what does su mean? [03:51] http://pastebin.com/d296951ab [03:51] eko_hermiyanto: Heh, want to paste the url to it? [03:51] musikgoat: np [03:51] eko_hermiyanto: thanks [03:51] <___Oz___> geoggrey: optional default? You want a certain OS to load every time by default? [03:51] <___Oz___> geoffrey2 rather [03:52] anyone tell me why the push seems to be apt-get instead to aptitude? [03:52] in Ubuntu? [03:52] jtmoney: ok, what I think is happening: in the absence of a defined server for handling requests, windows machines jockey for position to become the local master browser - that is the machine that holds the directory of the names of the other machines on the network - what is probably happening is that your machine is querying and receiving replies from this machine but it then is either turned off or unavailable, at which point a new election takes place t [03:52] wow, that sucks [03:52] but thanks for the analysis :) [03:52] jtmoney: what you can do is set your own machine to always win elections - that is to say you can specify an oslevel in your smb.conf such that you should always win [03:52] ohh [03:52] I'm a linuxxx dummy trying to install Seamonkey from a .tar.gz; I extracted it ok, and I can run the install file but i get error 624 "cant make destination dir, please try another file" should I create an empty dir to put it in ?? [03:52] eko_hermiyanto: Good lord you have a TON of home directories on this thing [03:52] i need some help with wireless, i do not have a wlan, i'm pretty sure i have the drivers for my atheros wifi card installed, i have madwifi, and there is no wireless connection option in system->administration->Network === Onyx_ is now known as Onyx [03:53] eko_hermiyanto: Ok, you see the portion that starts off === Share Definitions === ? [03:53] no, I need to add hpet=disable to the kernel line..supposedly it's possible to make that a default option so it doesn't get overwritten when the kernel image gets updated [03:53] rpj8, yes [03:53] NigelS_: okay, i'm going to google how to do that [03:53] !wireless [03:53] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:53] eko_hermiyanto: The words in [] are the ones you can mount [03:53] jtmoney: if you get nmbd up and running it will work to provide replies to other machines on the network - I'm not sure what oslevel vista gives itself [03:53] Gun_Smoke: there are a bunch of commands that begin apt- apt-get apt-cache apt-cdrom apt-mirror so it's somewhat nice syntax wise [03:53] <___Oz___> !xubuntu [03:53] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [03:53] eko_hermiyanto: You can add another directory to that by using similar variables to that [03:53] is there a media application for linux thats like itune's for buying music? [03:54] UncleChevitz sudo apt-get install iceape [03:54] rpj8, oh thanks dude, you are the al-mighty [03:54] eko_hermiyanto: Once you've done this, restart the samba daemon and boom, tough actin' tinactin. [03:54] genii: That's it? [03:54] eko_hermiyanto: Eh, I am but a humble script kiddie. [03:54] eko_hermiyanto: But you are quite welcome [03:54] <___Oz___> I installed Xubuntu per the instructions. How do I "activate" it? [03:54] <___Oz___> Ubuntu is still running. [03:54] jtmoney: also the command nmblookup can allow you to find the IP associated with a nmb name [03:54] can someone please tell me why this debian package wont install http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/rpmfiles/cups_wrapper/cupswrapperMFC5440CN-1.0.2-3.i386.deb [03:55] Thnx mjw but im a recovering windows user, I'm not sure what u mean [03:55] ___Oz___: Log out, in the login manager, select session in the bottom left, choose an xfce session [03:55] Gun_Smoke: There used to be more differences in how each app handled dependencies. But now they are nearly identical in this way so which one you use does not really matter [03:55] I'm running dapper [03:56] Where can I find the 7.10 'Ubuntu Packaging Guide' in PDF? [03:56] UncleChevitz iceape is the unbranded seamonkey in ubuntu. apt-get installs software for you. you can also use the 'synaptic package manager' in system > administration [03:56] genii: I'd have to disagree with removing packages.. [03:56] Gun_Smoke: Since apt-get is also applicable to ALL *buntu it is a window-manager agnostic way [03:56] Hey everyone... back again [03:56] NigelS_: that worked... os level = 32 made it work [03:56] <___Oz___> rpj8: how do I make the xfce session standard? [03:56] <___Oz___> (thanks for the tip!) [03:56] Great, thats my ticket [03:56] genii: I don't understand the last? [03:56] UncleChevitz using apt-get or synaptic should result in an easy installation with the applications appearing in your applications menu [03:56] one question... I keep geting this "no pub key" message from medibuntu.... but it never stops me from updating or installing things. It just pops up. How do I make that stop happening? [03:56] Why my external hd(usb v2) have read error on my pc (usb v1.1)?Help anyone [03:57] ___Oz___: It should pop open a box is you're still using gdm to log in that asks if you want to make this session your default [03:57] Gun_Smoke: kubuntu for instance installs Adept instead of Synaptic. But it can also use apt-get [03:57] NigelS_: thank you so much [03:57] is there anyway of getting a pr0xy bypass on ubuntu/ [03:57] jtmoney: cool - checkout /var/log/samba - you can watch things happening there, diagnose faults that you can never work out in windows - use tail -f or less with the follow cmd to watch etc [03:57] Why can't I adjust margins w/ gedit? === napster is now known as napstah [03:57] Gun_Smoke: So no matter which default window manager, GNOME, KDE etc apt-get at command-line is still apllicable [03:58] Is there a way to see a chronological package update release history? [03:58] Not based on what's installed, but the dates that the updates came available in the 'verses? [03:58] !synaptic > UncleChevitz [03:59] Thnx, I can do that, [03:59] dapatrick: It _is_ possible. I just don't know how at the moment =p [03:59] genii: Ok... I just read that aptitude is the preferred package manager for debian. Whats up what *buntu? [03:59] I mean, i don't understand why I would get an error message if I can still get updates and packages [03:59] Gun_Smoke: I only use aptitude anymore. [04:00] Gun_Smoke: I'd highly recommend it. Although the things that were wrong with apt I think have been changed. [04:00] does anyone know how I can completely wipe my network configuration ? [04:00] I've installed gutsy maybe 5 times, and I've received that message maybe 2/7 times of installing.. I'm assuming I did something in the wrong order or something [04:00] aptitude is nice - it weights solutions to package dependency problems [04:01] I have compiz-fusion installed. I am trying to make the ring switcher my default application switcher. I can't bind alt-tab to next window (all workspaces). I have disabled the shortcut everywhere I can find it (disabled the normal application switcher and changed shortcut in the settings manager). [04:01] Gun_Smoke: aptitude has more features than apt-get, generally speaking.

[04:02] After climbing the tree to debian I'm only using aptitude.. I'm just wondering why it is so pushed with every how to, help note, or the like.. And also trying to understand why one would be better than another.. And if true in what situation? [04:02] rpj8, thanks dude.. have to go now.. thanks a lot again [04:02] ahorriblemess: Sorry bout that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [04:02] ei guys any internet radio recommended? am using rythymbox [04:02] jbalcaen: What do you mean? === storer is now known as alex_s === alex_s is now known as alexstorer [04:02] does ubuntu kernels get compiled from source or are they binary?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:04] meoblast001: Why CUPS has always done the job for me. [04:05] Gun_Smoke: Cups can be a cruel, cruel mistress [04:05] daum: apt-get install linux-source [04:05] quit [04:05] hello [04:06] rpj8: Never had an issue... 5-6 units now..

[04:06] !root | Syubi [04:06] sudo is stupid [04:06] Syubi: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[05:01] okay i tried to help, no response, goodnight. [05:01] i think you can just move the plugin to your plugins folder manually and it will work [05:01] mark4, and it is Linus's opinion that centralized source control (like SVN) wouldnt be able to handle something as high traffic and distributed as the linux kernel [05:01] @time Toronto [05:01] Current time in America/Toronto: February 14 2008, 00:01:42 - Next meeting: Desktop Team in 8 hours 58 minutes [05:01] sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so [05:02] telexicon, erm im not sure thats correct tho. i think svn can handle large projects like that [05:02] make sure you're in the directory where the flashplugin is located [05:02] visof: what do u mean? by ip address or user names or what [05:02] another query.... when i plug in the pin of my headphone in computer jack the pc speaker doesnot mute laptop hp 9601au [05:02] mark4, for social reasons, not technical ones [05:02] indah [05:02] Kalir: well yea right installer just dont run it, [05:02] When I try to send an E-Mail via Thunderbird I get a "relay not permitted" message, does anybody know how to fix this?

[05:02] mark4, its not that SVN couldnt handle that throughput, its just a system which would require 1300 developers all the have access to the same codebase would be.. a crazy mess [05:02] Kalir: theres libflashplayer.so file in the same directory with installer [05:02] oh. that sounds evein fishier lol [05:03] visof: depends on how the LAN is configured and what would you call "on the lan with you", the most accurate way is probably to use a network scanning tool such as nmap [05:03] Okay, I copied the file in question. [05:03] libflashplayer.so [05:03] using firefox? [05:03] Ja. [05:03] telexicon, well then they need to split the kernel into common code base, system specific code base and drivers [05:03] Kalir: hang on 1 sec [05:03] When I try to send an E-Mail via Thunderbird I get a "relay not permitted" message, does anybody know how to fix this?

[05:04] did it work? [05:04] my boss has a saying. "it is what it is" [05:04] and for linux sources... its git :P [05:04] mark4, and for xorg sources its git [05:04] mark4, and for KDE sources its git [05:05] Kalir: now do sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [05:05] i think he did... i told him earlier [05:05] can anyone help? i need to send emails [05:05] Kalir: after that sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper [05:05] ok well i think kde is bloatware but i recently switched to using it simply so i could have compiz (you couldnt PAY me to run gnome :) [05:05] i never even have to install it [05:05] kde is liveable even with its bloat [05:05] Kalir: restart firefox and u should have working flashplayer [05:05] ljsmithx: what kind of email account do you have [05:06] mark4, oh.. i run gnome === HypnoToad is now known as BenderUnit22 [05:06] I have a 10 second hardrive hdb1 that is not set up right anyone here that could help?

Still not working. [05:07] write highly advanced software in masm [05:08] masm always looks like masochism [05:08] kaushal: are you sure you can't have the modem handle the pppoe, and just use dhcp to connect to the modem itself?

[05:08] just can develop alot faster than with c/c++ even though have been a c/c++ developer a good 10 years [05:08] i just developed an 8051 assembler, disassembler, and SIMULATOR all in 100% PURE forth [05:08] Kalir: huh... do cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [05:09] another query.... when i plug in the pin of my headphone in computer jack the pc speaker doesnot mute laptop hp 9601au [05:09] mark4: forth? my gosh, I haven't heard about anyone using that in ... decades!

[05:09] Yeah, the libflashplayer.so file is there. [05:09] nickrud: how can i proceed [05:10] mark4: my only question: can anyone else read it? rflol [05:10] hello. i need to contact mark shuttleworth. i tried the contact email in his blog (claire newman at canonical), but apparently nobody there. could anyone pass me his adress, or get me closer? thanks. [05:10] mark4, could you make us a nice open source flash implementation? [05:10] Kalir: are there are any other files that seem like flash plugins [05:10] nickrud you might hear more about it. chuck moore is developing 21 or is it 24 core cpus that are ultra low power and execute BILLIONS of opcodes per second [05:10] When I double click on an Abiword file in Nautilus, Gedit opens it, how can I change that to default to Abitword? [05:10] Nothing else got turned up by that command. [05:10] telexicon give me a spec for flash [05:10] *Abiword [05:10] Kalir: did u restart firefox after u copied that file there [05:10] mark4, eh.. well theres an issue with that [05:10] Yep. [05:10] kaushal: try pointing your browser at the gateway address [05:10] n2diy i think you can change it by left clicking on the doc and changing it there [05:10] right click on the file in nautilus, go to "open with" and chooes abiword [05:10] nickrud i wish the hosting site were still online, i have had numerous non asm / non forthers tell me they CAN read my code [05:11] Having trouble getting a second internal hardrive to mount correctly. Gives me it is restricted to Sys Admins If i type in my paswd then it will mount would like to share it on my Samba server but can not change permissions any ideas? [05:11] This should change it for all the files of that type [05:11] i got to extreme lengths to make my code readable. even at the expense of efficiency [05:11] !offtopic [05:11] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[05:13] but someone is gona complain about OT chat any second [05:13] mark4: I'm interested because forth was my first language. If you ever do put it up somewhere I'd like to see how much I remember [05:14] piojoo, which version of wine do you have? according to winehq, newer versions of wine should play virtual tennis 3 with no problems [05:14] Survivorman: , Decamerone ok, that's a hassle, I think adding .abw will work? I assumed Abiword added its extension when I saved the file. [05:14] nickrud hang on [05:14] nspluginwrapper: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins is not a valid NPAPI plugin [05:14] Does anyone know of an applet of some sort that tells how much a program is using by hovering over the icon?

Xchat [05:41] um, are the ubuntu servers dead? [05:41] hi [05:41] ubuntu.com is dead, and updates aren't working.... [05:41] hi [05:42] viktor, copy and paste your whole output from 'mount' [05:42] including wat is in the brackets at the end [05:42] I have issues with connecting to the internet, I am running ubuntu 7.04 [05:42] usser: can you write an example for me using aptitude? [05:42] viktor, just the whole output yes [05:42] usser: making the shortcut be "apt" [05:42] timandtom: do you mean like while using xchat, shortcuts for this chat, for example? [05:42] Hammer89: sure alias apt='aptitude' [05:42] viktor, so i can see your computers setup [05:42] hey all, what do people use for par2 and rar achieves off of the newsgroups? [05:43] I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I rebooted, I got Error 13 -- is there any way to recover from this besides reinstalling? [05:43] where u want me to paste it [05:43] Survivorman: Like, in firefox, you click on bookmarks, then click on a site, and it loads that site. I wanna be able to do the same thing, but with IRC rooms instead of websites [05:43] !pastebin [05:43] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [05:44] is anyone else having trouble contacting the update servers or ubuntu.com [05:44] phroughy: nope all good [05:44] phroughy, no problem seeing ubuntu.com [05:44] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55946/ [05:45] timandtom: you might want to try installing chatzilla for firefox [05:45] you should be able to get something similar working with that [05:45] viktor, ty one moment [05:45] huh, i can't see ubuntu.com and my updates aren't working. i'll reboot and see what happens [05:45] Gnome stopped working correctly .. [05:45] its sda1 i wanna unmount from desktop [05:45] the bars don't work anymore after I tried connecting to an ftp [05:45] Survivorman: Bah, no thanks. Not that big of a deal, I can probably get something working, but if there was a plugin or something to do what I needed already... :) Aw wells [05:45] viktor: I think that would be sudo umount /dev/sda1 [05:45] is this normal? [05:46] oh ok [05:46] it should be yes [05:46] viktor, sudo umount /dev/sda1 [05:46] is there anything like ctrl+alt+canc ? [05:46] ill try it as long as it wont stop me from login into windows [05:46] hello [05:47] viktor: if you have dual-boot, unmounting the drive in ubuntu shouldn't matter. [05:47] okai thx [05:47] viktor, it wont. always though when you are unmounting something make sure you arent transfering a file between your linux and desktop partition [05:47] viktor, besides that it wont hurt anything [05:48] downloaded now how to install [05:48] okai kool and if i want it bak do i just chage unmont to mount [05:48] tim: i can open irc in firefox [05:48] i just tried [05:48] hi again [05:49] viktor, yes, u might have to add the mount point though. example: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [05:49] <^cLuBk|d^> whats the problem usually if I already set the corresponding ip address on my eth0 and still cannot ping the gateway ? [05:49] <^cLuBk|d^> my gateway and dns ip is the same [05:49] How do I reencode a video to use the Cinepak codec? [05:49] songbird [05:49] oh okai i doubt ill ever want it back but thank you so much for the help === atC^aw is now known as atcla [05:50] viktor, no problem [05:50] pawan, open the directory [05:50] click on songbird [05:50] then [05:50] viktor, if u ever have a problem you can always do: man mount or man umount [05:50] it will ask you a few options, click on run [05:50] and it will explain how to use them [05:51] so there's nothing like ctrl+alt+canc, huh :) [05:51] which file tp run [05:51] should just be songbird [05:52] yep, rebooting fixed it, updates are running now. [05:52] Can I switch from Gnome to KDE without reinstalling my OS? [05:52] UncleChevitz, yes [05:52] I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I rebooted, I got Error 13 -- is there any way to recover from this besides reinstalling? [05:52] UncleChevitz: yes, just "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [05:52] Where can I find out how? [05:52] OK thnx [05:52] then select kde as a new session at login [05:52] its not opening [05:53] using wine [05:53] it shouldn't need wine [05:53] pawan12: where did you download songbird from? [05:53] UncleChevitz: then in your login manager (kdm or gdm) there should be a menu to choose the session type, just choose KDE instead of gnome [05:53] Is it possible to run an SSH connection to a host from a computer you have accessed through another SSH connection? [05:53] sorry everyone how do i change a gnome theme [05:53] http://developer.songbirdnest.com/ [05:53] ah... [05:53] UncleChevitz, check out http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde as well [05:53] im still stuck with the standard one that u get with fresh install [05:54] is there any reason i shouldnt recommend www.getdeb.net to people? [05:54] viktor: right click on the desktop, click change desktop background [05:54] viktor: then click on the themes tab [05:55] that changes the box but i wanan change like the bar at the top and bottom of screen where applications is [05:55] usser: it doesn't seem to be working [05:55] oh, then click customize [05:55] did you download the developer version pawan? [05:55] viktor: then click customize [05:56] Hammer89: its supposed to work when u open a new terminal [05:56] usser: lol... okay [05:56] whats up with the busybox error on feisty and gutsy? [05:56] im still stuck on edgy [05:56] pawan12: i would download this one: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird [05:56] nevermind, i figured it out, mencoder can do it [05:57] pawan12: that one should work, but it will have errors (as noted on the website) [05:57] musicgenius, say more about the error? [05:57] debs > tar.gz [05:58] it wont boot into the os [05:58] pawan, it works fine, but on the main page is the developers release [05:58] it goes past the menu [05:58] musicgenius, I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I reboot, I get Error 13 -- I'm trying to find out if there's any way to recover from this besides reinstalling. Same error you see? [05:58] then gives me a busybox error [05:58] don't download it, download it from http://www.songbirdnest.com/download [05:58] works fine. [05:58] ive seen this all over the net [05:59] I'm having problems getting my graphics driver/card to work. When I first installed Ubuntu, and enabled the restricted driver, it worked fine, but then I downloaded updated drivers from NVIDIA's website, and now my computer always loads into a low-graphics mode, in low-resolution. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [05:59] Survivorman: oh, my bad. i thought that was a tarball. didn't mean to jump over your head there. [05:59] Thnx guys [06:00] blag: no problem [06:00] i cant remenber exactly what it says but i cant boot into ubuntu at all from the live cd it just gives me a busybox error [06:01] I have clicked on 'Places', 'Connect to server', and connected to some server running an SSH service. Now, since I believe this is the only computer accepting an SSH connection from outside the uni network, can I use this computer to access the computer I need? In other words, after I established an SSH connection to comp A, how do I use it to access comp B on comp A's network? [06:01] Well ... I'm thinking of changing my nick to Doc or Sneezy or something ... because I sure am not Happy :/ [06:02] Hello, I'm having trouble with wine segfaulting. [06:03] It segfaults when it tries to run any program I can think of. [06:03] I'm on HH alpha 4 running wine 0.9.55 [06:04] where does the terminal program resides on a Ubuntu box? [06:04] musicgenius, I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I reboot, I get Error 13 -- I think this is a Grub error, but it says that the executable (the kernel?) is not okay. I'm trying to find out if there's any way to recover from this besides reinstalling. Same error you see? [06:04] Syubi: Applications > Accessories > Terminal [06:04] /usr/bin/gnome-terminal [06:05] im not sure ill pop in some other time and check it tomorrow [06:05] ok, so perhaps i can use /usr/bin/gnome-terminal of another computer [06:05] what are you trying to do Syubi? [06:06] ill write it down and look for you in here l8r and let you know [06:06] i have grub on here [06:07] i have ubuntu and kubuntu running on a slave drive [06:07] I am machine C. I connected to machine B with SSH. I would like to use machine B to connect to machine A because they are on the same network. [06:07] Survivorman, I can't connect to machine A directly from my machine C. [06:08] hey there [06:08] does anyone know what codecs to install to get winff to convert MPG TO mp4? [06:08] I'm clicking on the gnome-terminal file but it's not working [06:08] Syubi: on A, sudo apt-get install ssh (this will install sshd which listens for the connection from ssh) [06:09] <^cLuBk|d^> if you install ubuntu, the resolv.conf already exist or you have to create it manually? [06:09] there is ssh, but I can't connect because I'm not part of the network [06:09] my university doesn't allow it [06:09] <^cLuBk|d^> any help here? [06:10] you can ssh to B, then ssh from B to A ? [06:10] i am trying to do that but i don't have a clue how to [06:10] i think a recent update broke my xserver, any help? [06:11] pragmatically speaking, i mean. i don't know what to touch.. it's my first time on Ubuntu [06:11] does anyone know what codecs to install to get winff to convert MPG TO mp4? [06:12] can someone take a look at this error for me? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55947/ [06:12] zcat[1]: do you think it's [06:12] possible? [06:13] no one else experienced xserver failures after a recent update? [06:13] is there an easy way to replace an installed openssh with hpn-patched openssh (hpn-ssh) [06:14] Hammer89: that isn't a Ubuntu error, it is a SELinux error. [06:14] garth: was that related to an xorg update? i saw something on dig about that so I skipped the installation package [06:14] Syubi: If you can ssh from C to B, and you can ssh from B to A, yes... === mactimes_ is now known as mactimes [06:14] n2diy: I never installed SELinux [06:14] noodles i might've been, ive grown accustomed to not monitoring what is updating [06:14] zcat[1]: can you tell me how to do that, please ? [06:14] n2diy: maybe the latest updates did it? [06:15] @noodles is there a way i can roll it back? [06:15] :/ [06:15] On machine C, open a terminal and type 'ssh B (whatever the IP or hostname is) and you get a shell on B.. then in that shell type "ssh A" and you get a shell on A.. [06:16] Hammer89: I don' think so? SELinux is a different version of Linux, I'm not even sure it is Debian based? [06:16] What I wanted to make an normal audio cd with an dvdr ? Can that be done [06:16] n2diy: that makes no sense then... I've got no doubt I'm using Ubuntu [06:16] n2diy: is there a way to find out what kernel I'm using? [06:16] <^cLuBk|d^> if you install ubuntu, the resolv.conf already exist or you have to create it manually? [06:16] no, selinux isn't a seperate distro [06:16] Hammer89: uname [06:17] hi [06:17] Hammer89: uname -a [06:17] SElinux is just some security enhancements to the linux kernel, it can be used on any distro [06:17] Linux matthew-laptop 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [06:17] zcat[1]: I was doing this with the 'connect to server' window and i can only browse files that way.. [06:18] Syubi: ahhh, ok. That's a little more complex then. [06:18] zcat[1]: Indeed.. I was clicking on gnome-terminal with no success.. hehe [06:19] Syubi: you can do tricks like 'tunneling' ports from one box to the next but it's a bit complex to describe [06:20] Hammer89: From what I see here, SELinux is a modified kerenel, you have better luck in #ubuntu-kernel? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELinux [06:20] n2diy: Hmmm... I still don't see how SELinux got on my computer... I never installed it [06:21] hi [06:21] afaik ubuntu already uses an SElinux kernel, you just need to figure out how to configure the security extensions [06:21] zcat[1]: what's the syntax for ssh ? I know the host name and my user name and my password. [06:21] I ran the kernel update earlier today, and when I reboot, I get Error 13 -- I think this is a Grub error -- it says that the executable (the kernel?) is not okay. I'm trying to find out if there's any way to recover from this besides reinstalling [06:21] Hammer89: I don't know either, I have four updates pending, but none of them are kernel related. [06:21] Syubi: man ssh .. typically 'ssh user@host' or just 'ssh host' if you're using the same username on both [06:22] n2diy: I had like 6 kernel related updates in the past week [06:22] cant change nick name to pawan [06:22] Nutubuntu: press ESC when grup tells you to, and select the previous kernel, that should still work [06:22] Hammer89: What version of Ubuntu? I'm hanging on to Dapper 6.06 [06:22] *grub [06:22] n2diy: 7.10 [06:23] zcat - will try , thanks [06:23] Are these BSD commands? [06:23] can i plays network games with ubuntu? [06:23] Hammer89: Live on the cutting edge, and you'll bleed. :) [06:23] camille__: Yes, Ubuntu support socket programming [06:23] Syubi: ssh? it has roots in openbsd I think.. [06:24] Hi all I am using kde4 and all of my gtk apps and qt3 apps are being rendered really slowly, like the CPU is drawing it. Any thoughts? [06:24] supports* [06:24] can i pm you? [06:24] No [06:24] n2diy: lol... I didn't install the release prior to 7:10 because there were way too many compatibility issues with my laptop [06:24] zcat, all I get is 2.6.22-14-generic and the same in recovery mode - neither one works. And memtest, which works fine but is limited :/ [06:24] <^cLuBk|d^> if you install ubuntu, the resolv.conf already exist or you have to create it manually?? pls answer [06:24] no [06:24] Nothing personal -- I'm just about to hop off [06:24] ok [06:24] thnaks [06:24] where do i look [06:25] anyone know how to fix wlan0_rename to have the correct name using the iwl3945 driver on gutsy? [06:25] camille__: What are you trying to do? [06:25] Hammer89: Have you tried google? [06:25] install internet games [06:25] n2diy: I had... to no avail [06:25] like dota [06:25] Nutubuntu: well, you can boot the live CD, find out what older kernels are still around and sort out grub manually.. but it's a bit tricky [06:25] n2diy: I'll probably try a forum post soon [06:25] camille__: That depends if the developer has made a port of the app for ubuntu === pawan_ is now known as pawan1245 [06:25] hi, which one is the log file when installing ubuntu from live cd? [06:26] ah === pawan1245 is now known as pawan1 [06:26] zcat[1], I'm not sure I *have* the live CD ... installed from minimal [06:26] Hammer89: Roger on the forum post, and again you might ask in #ubuntu-kernel. [06:26] camille__: you could try using wine [06:26] which site should i go to that teaches networking and games [06:26] thanks [06:26] n2diy: okay... thanks :) [06:26] ill google wine [06:26] Hi I'm getting a green screen playing some of my AVI's with mplayer in Gutsy. I also have crackling audio. I think it may be possible to sum up both these issues with some wrong codec... Anyone have any suggestions, maybe: what codecs should I be using so I can play any/every video known to man? [06:26] hellloo? [06:26] Hammer89: Good luck. [06:26] You want to make a networked application camille__ ? [06:26] Is anyone here familiar with FFMPEG or WINFF? [06:27] Nutubuntu: well, you can alt-F2 a shell from the minimal install also.. but it's fairly tricky, not something I would want to talk anyone through over IRC [06:27] camille__: In that case, you should look at the documents for the language you are going to program in [06:27] i am setting up internet shop [06:27] Internet shop? [06:27] yup [06:27] zcat[1], thanks - I can understand that :) [06:27] what codecs are available that can converg MPEG to MPG4? [06:27] So you want a web server camille__ ? [06:27] where people rent machines to surf ym or play games [06:27] Hi jeeves [06:28] im currently using ubuntu now [06:28] zcat[1], would you happen to know, what was the most recent kernel prior to 2.6.22-14-generic ? [06:28] can someone help me figure out how a torrent tracker site works, and what software I should use. [06:28] camille__: You're not making much sense [06:28] camille__: sudo apt-get install oscommerce , I think.. [06:28] thnks for the advice [06:28] camille__: oscommerse isn't in the repo [06:28] ill try googling wine first [06:28] sorry, apparently not [06:29] Hi jeeves [06:29] how do I configure apt-get to check the online repositorys before the CD-ROM? I'm trying to install screen on a remote box and its asking for me to insert the CD, prolblem is the computer is 50 miltes away so thats not an option right now lol [06:29] Hello, i just updated my ubuntu but my wifi is not connecting it recgnizes the wifi card but it won't connect is there any way i could check the logs for this to see what's the error?

[06:30] hi, where can I see the installation log file, installation hangs somewhere very close to the end. It says IDE-floppy...

[06:35] zcat[1]: Unfortunately it didn't work. It says the connection is refused. That machine has the latest Ubuntu server installed. Do you think I should install sshd on it? [06:36] zcat[1], thank you :) [06:36] Okay, well if no one know of a good desktop manager (ie. something like Webshots) for Ubuntu, Is it possible for me to Wine Webshots [06:36] ? [06:37] Anyone with an Intel AG 4965 wifi-card here? I'm having troubles getting mine to work [06:37] Syubi: perhaps... if it's accessable from the internet you might want to be sure there are no weak passwords, or firewall out traffic to port22 from the general public [06:37] Does anyone have errors when they try to update ubuntu? [06:38] zcat[1].. sabdfl would not happen to be a nick, right? or some handle in some forum? [06:38] Syubi: but yes, to ssh to it it will need sshd running [06:38] deeptrance: what kind of errors? [06:38] Biblio: it's the nick he uses on irc, yes.. [06:39] zc, very appreciated, thanks :) [06:39] jappdev: According to the troubleshooting at wifidocs it says my encryption key might be wrong but i configure my router with no password but it still didn't work any ideas?

I'm only familiar with Ubuntu, and I wold guess most of the others here are only familiar with one or two versions also?

[06:56] viktor: you need to learn how to write in a console. [06:56] ok do this instead itll be a little more familiar for u [06:56] sudo gedit /etc/fstab [06:56] i know how to right but not edit anythign [06:56] sphynx: watch the log file udev (tail -f /var/log/dmesg) while you try to connect again, and if it gives you any network errors, drop them in pastebin and post a link [06:57] oh ok so did u delete that line? [06:57] sphynx: * watch the dmesg log file not udev [06:57] viktor: gedit (filename) is painless. [06:57] hi people [06:57] right [06:57] what does noapic do?

Im just assigned to connect it on our network :) [07:49] I need some help with encrypted lvm install with gutsy. [07:50] Hi was just wondering if anyone could help me mounting a usb drive. The problem is that it hasnt been shut down properly from winXP so i am supposed to use a fore command. But i cant seem to get it to work [07:50] *force command [07:50] sissec3: There's a utility called ntfsfix [07:51] well two questions, one. is it already on your network successfully, aka can you ping other computers/go on the internet. second. do you have root access [07:51] sissec3: I believe its in the ntfsprogs package === _max is now known as max` [07:53] <^cLuBk|d^> meekolope, yes it is already on my network, it can ping other ip's ( assigned to other windows computer clients ) but it cannot ping from other computers, secondly I have a root access on this ubuntu box. My only problem is it cannot be seen from other windows computers [07:53] I have a fresh installed gutsy machine with encrypted lvm [works fine LUKS passphrase on boot]. What I wanted achieve was to remove the passphrase prompt and use a USB flash drive instead. I created a new key from /dev/urandom and cryptsetup luksAddKey'ed it and copied the root.key to a usb flash drive.. [07:53] but this is nto recognised on boot. [07:53] I still need to enter the passphrase. [07:53] spdf: installing packages now [07:53] why are you trying to get it pinged? if its on the network? [07:54] ^cLuBk|d^: You're certain the IP you're pinging is correct?

[07:56] I'm getting a strange error from my Nvidia driver when starting up. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55949/ Anyone know what that means?

[08:03] maybe my question was a little bit too specific... but really i was wondering if there is anyway at all to help test my emulated middle button for the mouse [08:05] Mushrooms: Open up a text editor. Highlight some text, and then press your left and right mouse buttons together into the text editor. It should paste what you've highlighted.

Check out fstab [08:26] Stevethepirate: The last kernel with it in is -4, as far as I know [08:26] keoni: I think you will need something like "sudo mount -t auto /dev/sr0 " [08:27] Stevethepirate, i am new to linux. dont understand fstab, ! [08:27] why is that [08:28] neil_d, sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb /media/hd1 [08:28] mount: special device /dev/sdb does not exist [08:28] I want to identify what is my CD Drive, hda, sdb, or what?? [08:29] sarthor: okay, fstab is a file, that basically gets run on startup. [08:29] you can put ur mount options in it. [08:29] sarthor: I think you will need something like "sudo mount -t auto /dev/sr0 " note not sdb use sr0 [08:29] and they will be run outmatically.

[08:50] I have a fresh installed gutsy machine with encrypted lvm [works fine LUKS passphrase on boot]. What I wanted achieve was to remove the passphrase prompt and use a USB flash drive instead.

[08:52] meekolope: yes [08:52] hi , how can i add environment variable to the system and keep it for ever? please any help. [08:53] so u want ure system to basicly be locked up unless u have ure usb flash plugged in at boot? [08:53] amer: add it to your .bashrc: export VAR=value [08:54] meekolope: I chose the encrypted lvm install and everything works fine with the passphrase.. but I am unable to get the correct steps for booting without entering the passphrase. http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/428 [08:54] arksin.it [08:54] I've been using Ubuntu straight these last three days, and i'm a little disappointed with the unusually long time required for boot up. does anyone else get this same problem? [08:54] yes.. followed the above guide for creating the root.key and adding it via cryptsetup and copied it to usb drive [also tried a usb with a ext3 partition] [08:55] tried various kernel parameters like waitusb=100 and key=root.key [08:55] oooh so u just dont want the pass phrase u want it to auto login with your key from the flash drive? [08:55] nothing takes effect.. starts off to the LUKS Passphrase prompt [08:55] osfameron, where the default environment variables stored in the system. [08:55] yes you are right meekolope [08:55] can someone help me on how I can convert a video file to an iPod/iPod Touch format under linux? [08:57] mutantx: ffmpeg or transcode should do it [08:57] ok [08:57] let me look at this tutorial real quick, see if i have any bright ideas [08:57] telexicon, ph0rensic: You were right. Thanks. I noticed that some of my entries in sources.list have not been fetching for a few days. I guess it must be all the guys updating their kernels overloading the security servers. [08:58] anja: I looked around on how to do it, I can't find anything... [08:58] what is the program for quick graph file extention changing? [08:59] telexicon, ph0rensic: I'll add a second entry for security to my local apt-proxy [08:59] *sigh* i'm totally out of luck today, doesn't seem like anyone could help me [08:59] Laibsch, you can use mirrors for security updates [08:59] did you try googling ffmpeg ipod? http://www.julien-oster.de/content/ffmpeg-ipod.html [09:00] Mushrooms: could you disable the quiet and splash options from the boot and check the messages [09:01] telexicon: yes, apt-proxy should take care of that from now on (I hope). [09:01] you can then see if there is any particular step that is taking too long.. [09:01] anja: Thanks man... I seriously googled around and couldn't find anything like that... I'm going to try it out... [09:01] guyfawke: how do i do that? [09:01] # /ubuntu [09:02] telexicon: My thought was that pulling straight from security.ubuntu.com would give me more timely fixes, but of course the opposite is true (as is evidenced in my case) [09:02] at the grub prompt.. you can 'e'dit the kernel line and remove the quiet and splash options, the 'b'oot [09:03] Mushrooms: i've seen quite a few tips/tweaks for speeding up start time on the internet ... try google "ubuntu improve performance" "ubuntu speed start-up" and such, if no one here knows. You'll get a lot of more info [09:03] guyfawke: ok i just glanced over the tutorial [09:04] prince_jammys: i see [09:04] guyfawke: so u followed the usb portition of the document exactly? [09:04] Mushrooms: but unless you have serious problems, i wouldn't apply all the tweaks you read about [09:05] i'll have a look into it, but after timing it for the first time today, 4 minutes and 48 seconds was a bit rough, that's from pushing the power button to the login screen [09:05] i need help making my laptop dual boot with windows vista and ubuntu, i'm not sure how to resize the hard drive [09:05] Mushrooms: ok thats a problem [09:05] meekolope: yep. I have added the key using cryptsetup luksAddKey ... etc. [basically the whole section 'Get rid of that password query'] [09:05] Mushrooms: you thought you just wanted tweaks [09:05] Mushrooms: *i thought [09:06] what does the bar mean, how much to resize of how much space i have left [09:06] prince_jammys: :( i'm in trouble now [09:06] slugz: you have vista already on it or you have ubuntu and want to install vista ? [09:06] i already have vista on it [09:07] and i want to install ubuntu [09:07] Mushrooms: first time ubuntu or is it an upgrade? [09:07] first time [09:07] <^cLuBk|d^> what is the default password of the root when you install the server edition ? [09:07] prince_jammys: I tried to use ubuntu before fiesty or something... but that was on a different computer, Just this week I decided to have another crack at using the whole linux thing again [09:07] guyfawke: i have an idea [09:08] slugz: okay resize your windows partition [ntfs type] down so that you have atleast 4GB free for Ubuntu [more if you can afford it] [09:08] the new partition bar shows 86% [09:08] <^cLuBk|d^> when I install it, it doesnt give me a field or area to set a root password [09:08] prince_jammys: actually fiesty was pretty quick at boot up [09:08] * guyfawke is all ears [09:08] Mushrooms: what version do you have? gutsy? [09:08] prince_jammys: i have gutsy now [09:08] guyfawke: is ure entire partition encrypted including your /boot directory? [09:08] Mushrooms: does it work properly once it's started up? [09:08] no .. /dev/sda5 is the lvm that is encrypted [09:09] /dev/sda1 is /boot [09:09] guyfawke, which option option should i pick? the first one or manual [09:09] prince_jammys: yep it works well when it has reached the login screen. but anything between grub and login is a bit strange [09:09] you are installing gutsy ? [09:09] ok [09:09] <^cLuBk|d^> any help? [09:09] prince_jammys: Also, I notice that in fiesty, when the computer is loading, it has that signature ubuntu logo with a loading bar on the bottom [09:09] guyfawke: did u copy that script that checks the presence of a usb flash drive exactly? [09:10] prince_jammys: however, i do not see this anymore in gutsy [09:10] slugz: then choose "Resize and use free space" [09:10] Mushrooms: black screen? [09:10] prince_jammys: black screen. [09:10] any know about jackfield [09:11] prince_jammys: I thought i screwed up my very first installation of gutsy (because i had multiple monitors plugged in) [09:11] guyfawke, what does the 86% it has on the bar indicate? [09:11] osfameron, thanks. it's working now [09:11] prince_jammys: so i decided to format/reinstall [09:11] amer: cool [09:11] prince_jammys: with the external monitor disconnected [09:11] prince_jammys: the very first time when i had it connectd, i was able to see the logo and the loadup on the secondary monitor [09:12] guyfawke: did u copy that script that checks the presence of a usb flash drive exactly? [09:12] 86% of the hard disk size.. it will also have other values. [09:12] Mushrooms: i'm trying to find something out there ... should be able to fix this [09:12] prince_jammys: thank you so much for your help [09:13] meekolope: Silly me. I assumed that since the guide was nearly 2 years old, gutsy would already have it ... and since the encrypted lvm install was available from installer, I skipped all steps till 'Get rid of that password query' [09:13] hio [09:13] is it possible to make a window transparent under metacity? [09:13] hey is anyone running ubuntu on a dell latitude d830 by any chance? [09:13] guyfawke: ahhh so u see [09:14] guyfawke: that script i believe is what checks to see if your usb drive is plugged in and if it has a root.key on it [09:14] anyone know about jackfield? [09:14] meekolope: Let me try that [09:15] Mushrooms: laptop? [09:15] yes [09:15] prince_jammys: yes, laptop [09:15] guyfawke: yes re read that section, also make sure in the script that it checks for the correct partitions you are using [09:15] Mushrooms: found someone with your problem [09:15] hey [09:15] prince_jammys: is this on the ubuntu forums? [09:16] Mushrooms: am reading this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/17235 [09:16] Mushrooms: link at the bottom of the page might be a fix [09:16] i just got a new dell, and other then bio updates, what abotu those other firmware updates for things like the cdrom and stuff [09:17] correct me if am wrong, the rest of the 100%-86%, will be used for ubuntu installation right? [09:17] are those necessary? [09:17] moin oktanouc [09:17] prince_jammys: yep i'm reading it now. wow tweaking with the kernel (?) i hope i don't screw anything up [09:17] wrong! [09:17] slugz: yes [09:17] hey, i just installed linux 2 days ago... [09:17] how to install jackfield? [09:17] Mushrooms: not tweaking kernel, just tweaking the grub list entry [09:17] please [09:17] guyfawke, thank you very much [09:17] slugz: you will be warned in the next step [09:17] Mushrooms: backup the file before you change it [09:18] yea, same question more or less, i downloaded all the jack software and it still doesn't work [09:18] slugz: about the exact steps that are going to be performed. review them. make sure they make sense. [09:18] ok, i will [09:18] prince_jammys: may I please pm you? [09:19] jackfield is a dashboard like an OSX [09:19] Mushrooms: yes -- [09:19] prince_jammys: oh yikes i need to register first [09:20] hi. I have cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 6.06 LTS \n \l and want to make somehow dist-upgrade as my packages are kind of messed up. any pointers on howto do this [09:20] Mushrooms: oh just write it here, i'll help you out [09:20] prince_jammys: never mind i'll plow through this tutorial, thanks for helping me, and by backing up grub... i really have no idea how to do that [09:20] Mushrooms: i'll tell you [09:21] prince_jammys: ok i'm ready [09:21] Mushrooms: can you open a terminal? [09:21] Mushrooms: a terminal window [09:21] prince_jammys: opened [09:21] how much space do you typically give ubuntu when you dual boot? [09:22] prince_jammys: i'm gussing i need to do a "sudo cp " or something [09:22] Mushrooms: sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst . there's a space and a period after 'lst' [09:22] Mushrooms: that's another way [09:22] i have 120gigs but i don know how much i should allocate to buntu [09:22] Mushrooms: mine just copies it to your home === FBIGuy is now known as NSAGuy [09:22] prince_jammys: ok i'll use your method today [09:23] hey guys hal compile is bombing out because it says it needs volume_id version is 74 but need 77 how do i fix this? [09:23] Mushrooms: your way is sudo /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub.menu.lst.backup [09:23] Mushrooms: both are fine (mine means you have to remember that it goes in /boot/grub) [09:23] prince_jammys: i see, ok i have done sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst . [09:24] Mushrooms: you see it in your home? [09:24] hey, i was wondering what i could use to make a (more or less) bejeweld-ish game [09:24] prince_jammys: yes, there's a menu.lst file in there [09:24] can someone point me to a tutorial or something on howto perform dist-upgrade [09:24] Mushrooms: the period at the end is short for "current directory", so you copied it there [09:24] prince_jammys: i see, i understand. [09:24] is kubuntu better for laptops? [09:25] jmut just run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [09:25] Mushrooms: ok now should anything go wrong, you can just copy it back .. try their fix, it probably will work since the problem fits your description so well [09:26] I've installed a program that will interpret mouse gestures in gnome. I want to use them to navigate nautilus but can't find any commands. Is it possible to issue commands to cause nautilus to go Back / forward / Up etc. ? [09:26] prince_jammys: ok, now in the event that i do something really bad, i recover the backup by going "sudo cp menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst" ? [09:26] Mushrooms: yes [09:27] glick: depends on what you want to do.. [media and files take up majority..].. OS wil take about 6G Max [almost every package].. so 20G is a decent size for playing with ubuntu.. 60G if you are serious everyday everyhour user. [09:27] Mushrooms: you will only be changing the vga resolution , apparently [09:28] prince_jammys: I see, I will go and have a crack at it now.. wow i'm feeling adventurous today haha. I hope everything will work [09:28] i wont install every package [09:29] prince_jammys: So basically i get the impression that by removing splash and quite, it's just two lines of code?

[10:19] ph0rensic: what about the "us" keyboard part? [10:19] rvalles: NP [10:19] rvalles: You should be able to select your keyboard layout [10:19] ph0rensic: it's my sisters' computer. I installed it in her home yesterday :) [10:19] rvalles: It takes you through the process again [10:19] rvalles: haah awesome [10:20] what is needed to get ubuntu minimal to LAMP besides the usual packages ( mysql etc.. ) [10:20] nix: segfault?? hmm it didn't install it? [10:20] jay-oh-en: once you "install" those (installing in this case is really just copying document files), they are stored in /usr/share or /usr/share/doc [10:20] ph0rensic: when i entered the code u gave it said: Reading package lists... Done [10:20] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [10:20] jay-oh-en: usually they come in both html, for a browser, or pdf to print out [10:20] prince_jammys, your too helpful lol [10:20] Is there a more advanced wireless connection manager for gnome than what comes with 7.10? [10:20] nix: hmm try one at a time? [10:21] <_coredump_> moin moin [10:21] same thing [10:21] snailrails: Hmm... I think there are smaller webservers than apache . if your going for pure size limitations [10:21] ph0rensic: same fault [10:22] nix what version ubuntu you have.. btw i have no idea how to trouble shoot a seg fault [10:22] ph0rensic: problem is it asks me too many questions [10:22] no. I have ubuntu-minimal install and I want the full LAMP setup. Just there are packages needed over and above the regular lamp ones [10:22] ph0rensic: but other than that, it seems things are fine; hopefully will be kept that way once new server packages appears and it upgrades, right? [10:22] Can anyone help me with a SSHFS issue? I have a remote directory that I map to a local directory so I can access and work with it easy. I'm using Krusader as a WinSCP clone, and I go to copy between one remote directory and another (also on SSHFS) but when I start copying the remote dir I am copying from drops, and in Nautilus it changes from a directory to a empty file [10:22] rvalles: There isn't an option just to selec your layout? [10:22] Anyone any ideas?

[10:23] rvalles: haha .. yah I don't like that either.. I mean Im pretty sure I know my keyboard layout ya know [10:23] I have to keep umount'ing it and remounting it, but it keeps dropping [10:24] ph0rensic: maybe it _is_ supposed to act that way, thinking that because I'm the one requesting to "reconfigure" it, I must want to have control over stuff [10:24] ph0rensic: what u mean by old :P [10:24] rvalles: There is always editing the xorg.conf file if you know what your doing [10:24] rvalles: Well it is meant to go through the whole process to make sure your system is set up to work [10:24] ph0rensic: yeah, I know, but I've been avoiding that just because it's not my computer and I want upgrades to properly regenerate her X conf file. [10:24] nix: hehe I dunno.. I dont know much about seg faults .. other than they are not good [10:24] (editing xorg.conf by hand) [10:25] ph0rensic: could it do with my partitions? wtf is a segment?

I remember I had to tweak the settings to find the one that worked with wpa2 [10:28] people I got a little problem. I'm fairly new to the whole Ubuntu/linux thing. Is there a way to automatically start my Wired network on startup? [10:28] ph0rensic: it does connect... if I tell network manager to connect. But not remember to do so after reboot.

[10:37] Josiah: then judge by power [10:38] ph0rensic: right, its not bad [10:38] how can i make audacious vu meter minimize along with audacious? [10:38] Ive done quiet a bit of wifi hacking if u have questions [10:38] jay-oh-en: hard luck :) [10:38] meekolope: netstumbler... does that require gps as well? [10:38] i have heard it is quite hard to find such a software but i suppose there is no software at all :( [10:39] demon981, do you have the vu meter next to audacious completely [10:39] JosiahW: Im gonna take a look at my pdf list real quick .. I think I had an e-bool that describes how to do what yur trying to do...it may be the doc for kismet though.. [10:39] yes [10:39] and in the panel i have audacious and vu meter [10:39] does anyone know if it's possible to get dmsetup / device mapper to re-scan physical drives? I've got LVM partitions that the gutsy install CD can't see because dm-mod wasn't loaded. I need to fix my MBR :| [10:39] How can i get realplayer superpass working? [10:39] they are separate [10:39] Jon, lol its kool its just i used to hate getting the error when trying to use that name [10:39] ph0rensic: thank you [10:40] !grub | Jon [10:40] Jon: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [10:40] is there a way to know the version of ffmpeg that will be in hardy ? [10:40] hi all [10:40] unfortunately grub can't boot from /boot on LVM; so I was on lilo. I've clobbered it with Grub2 (which seems to basically not work, at all.) [10:40] More details .. I don't really got details. Top bar on the screen you got a button called wired network connection ... that can only be activted by clicking on it and selecting your network connection. I want to automate that basically. Sorry if I can't be clearer then that jay-oh-en .. but as I said .. I'm a noob [10:40] Josiah: neither NEED a gps device [10:41] "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 second. Is is likely that something bad is going on. Halting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0." [10:41] ? [10:41] this is on a new 7.10 install [10:41] the install had barely run for 90 seconds [10:41] Asra, ill try helping you out just one sec [10:41] Josiah: they just can be handy. the cheaper way (my way he he) would just to judge it by the power in which u can receive the access points signal [10:42] guys what about ppt to mpeg4 [10:42] anyone a clue? [10:42] thnx :) [10:42] JosiahW: I got a couple you should look at: Here are the titles: #1 Choice: Wireless Security - models threats and solutions: Mcgraw-Hill ... and #2 Internet Security Cryptographic Principles Algorithms and Protocols [10:42] okay thank you ph0rensic [10:43] how can i make audacious vu meter minimize along with audacious? [10:43] JosiahW: I am pretty sure that first one has just want you want [10:43] Josiah: because when u have kismet or netstumbler running they will give u a signal strength to the access point u are looking at. you should be able to judge [10:43] Do you guys know of a better wireless connection manager or even a better network connection manager available for gnome? [10:43] ph0rensic: im looking it up right now [10:43] JosiahW: what are u using right now? [10:43] meekolope: I am installing both right now [10:43] Asra, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/154207 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/83143 [10:44] JosiahW: You should also look into the backtrack documentation.. it is a pen testing OS tha has all of the tools we are talking about .. and probably a few more good ones we haven't mentioned [10:44] Asra, those should get you running [10:44] JosiahW: as for as a connection manager, what do u use? iwconfig? [10:44] meekolope: the default: Network Administration Tool [10:44] i know of one [10:44] Asra, never mind [10:45] Asra, here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/97278 [10:45] JosiahW: ive used it quiet a bit, it works with native linux and ndiswrapper drivers for wireless cards [10:45] Thnx .. I'll look into it and report back as soon as I'm done ;) [10:45] Asra, the last one i gave you is the tut [10:45] meekolope: which one is that? [10:45] well not the tut but it will help you [10:45] so, where can I get help on installing ubuntu? [10:46] thnx jay-oh-en :) think that will be enough for now .. or at least I hope so :D [10:46] I am sorry to repeat my question but i really need this ppt or odp to mpeg4 converter [10:46] JosiahW: http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html [10:47] hi does anyone know how to fix a folder missmatch error on evolution [10:47] is there a special ubuntu server support channel?

[10:48] yousif: Someone mentioned ffmpg for something like this .. but Im not sure cause Ive never used it [10:49] ph0rensic: actually ffmpg makes a copy from the desktop and not a converter [10:49] ph0rensic: i will try this as my last option [10:49] yousif: Ok thanks for clarifying [10:50] JosiahW: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/NetworkManager/0.6/NetworkManager-0.6.5.tar.gz [10:50] yousif: Ill look for you [10:50] ph0rensic: no thank you for your answer [10:50] Can anyone help me with my sshfs issues?? ^^^^ [10:50] meekolope: Yes Ubuntu.

[10:54] but the other day i downloaded the newest aircrack beta and drivers for my card which is all i would really want to use anyways [10:54] backtrack is a penetration testing linux based live cd [10:54] ciao [10:54] its basicly a hacking cd, lots of tools and recovery stuff too [10:54] !list [10:54] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

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? [10:56] JosiahW: i would use it then, because itll be a cleaner install [10:56] i always try to use apt or an equivilant instead of source when i can [10:56] am doin. Think networkmanager is the most advanced wireless manager for gnome? [10:56] meekolope: same here :) [10:57] JosiahW: its always worked for me nicely. its the most like the windows native one. Its easy to use and u can use it for most cards so. whatever works! hehe [10:58] hy [10:58] anyone have a good way to install tcl/tk 8.5 on gutsy? a semi-official .deb anywhere?

[11:41] yes i am [11:42] ubuntu gutsy [11:42] Cew27: try logging into a failsafe session and start it from there to see if it still happens [11:42] ok what will that prove [11:42] Cew27: it could just be a gnome keybinding [11:43] it used to happen to me when some system event was kicking me out... i can't remember if it was an instant message window or something like that [11:43] soundray:what would that mean if its a keybinding [11:43] Cew27: also, when you lose control, don't reset.

[11:49] i am curious too [11:49] meekolope: music player daemon [11:50] patogen, so what does it do with instant message [11:50] icesword: I would like to have an instant messaging daemon ... [11:51] mpd is for music, but something for instant messagin [11:51] i had a pretty cool thing i used for AIM for awhile [11:52] meekolope: What was that? I don't use AIM, but it might support something like what I want [11:53] it was a command line client for aim [11:53] aha, I already know of the option of command line client + screen [11:54] can u post a picture of something similar to what ure looking for? [11:55] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instant_messaging_clients [11:55] patogen: bitlbee might be something like what you want, it handles most IM protocols and you connect to it with an irc client of your choice [11:56] Is there a way to make 'write' popup a message on a running gnome session like in kde ? Currently i'm just getting the message that the user refuses messages. I have put "mesg y" in /etc/profile, and it works when the user has a terminal open.

[12:13] i need some help installing ubuntu on a desktop pc without an internet connection [12:13] chaosphilipp: ubuntu uses a vesa mode for the boot splash which your machine doesn't support. Go through /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove all occurrences of 'splash' [12:13] soundray: /etc/environment isn't executable - is parsed by another file or do I need to +x it?

[12:17] no [12:17] chaosphilipp: in case of emergency (which is doubtful - the fix is not dangerous) you can access the internet from a terminal with www-browser (try it if you havent) === niko_ is now known as Weasel-- [12:17] when i try to install a program from the command line i get the following error: ImportError: No module named pkg resources [12:17] nekoNotHereDammi: I suggest you read the guidelines [12:17] it's a standalone pc [12:18] but with sudo cp /root/index.html /var/www/ i will py index.html only in /var/www .. i want to copy index.html in all the subdirecotiries of /var/www [12:18] anyone can help me out with this? [12:18] i mean like, do you have a way to download the codecs on the computer you're currently on, then burn the files and copy them to your ubuntu box? [12:18] fr1ul^h4ck: I would try something like this (no guarantees): for i in $(find /var/www -name index.html) ; do cp index.html $i ; done [12:19] fr1ul^h4ck: try #bash otherwise [12:19] if you have no way at all to get files to that computer then i don't really know what you're expecting us to do [12:19] yes. i don't know where to get them though and how to install them.

[12:24] he wants to replace many of them with a new index.html [12:24] I know it said it was going into lost and found when I invoked it [12:24] GSF1200S: look at the files that it put there and see if you recognize the data [12:25] how can i delete all histroy everything i ever played with mplayer xine and went to internet site permanently so none can see the history in suse? [12:25] wow, someone tighten me to my seat, my computer boots frightfully fast now :D [12:25] chaosphilipp: worked? [12:25] jep :) [12:26] soundray- theres only two things in lost and found when opened as root. Ones a kde temp file, and the other is some cryptic numbered file [12:27] GSF1200S: it seems you're in luck -- unless the cryptic one was something important [12:27] it just says 'socket' in properties [12:28] GSF1200S: I'd say you're fully recovered [12:28] reason I ask: I ended up booting (after messing with some things) and I couldnt access anything in the filesystem. It kept telling me it was a read only filesystem [12:28] as i am here: what LaTeX-Editor would you recommend for Linux? [12:28] I liked Texnicenter in windows [12:29] on next boot was the error forcing me to manual fsck [12:29] chaosphilipp: emacs with auctex [12:29] I have a clone image, but its prolly not worth the trouble [12:29] thank god for ext3 :) [12:29] GSF1200S: read-only remounting is a security measure that the system takes to prevent changes on an inconsistent filesystem until it can be fsck'ed [12:30] ahh [12:30] what's ubuntu's dev channel called? === matysecek is now known as matysek [12:30] !dev [12:30] Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer?

[12:36] soundray: then just use the same command without the variable. sorry, i'm just so used to using this for chrooting and i append so i remember the box i'm in, lol [12:37] soundray: appending isn't neccessary though :P [12:37] MasterMel: what are you trying to install and how?

[12:40] !source [12:40] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [12:40] Wirwing: one not very efficient manual way is to try some of the backups of xorg.conf that are in the /etc/X11 directory ... if you do this, backup the directory first in case of mess [12:40] !repos | oboy03 [12:40] oboy03: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [12:40] oboy03: it gives a list of repository mirrors to be used by apt/aptitude/synaptic [12:41] rblst: I just tried, and it works fine (Writer, I assume) [12:41] so if something is wrong in the source.list i'll be donwloading a wrong version or update? [12:41] oboy03 yes [12:42] prince_jammys: i already did, but the only thing it solved its now i have 800x600 resolution and vesa generic driver. [12:42] thanks [12:42] for everyone who wants to know i fixxed the open arena problem by disabling compiz [12:42] Cew27: what problem? [12:42] and sudo apt-get update updates it? [12:42] oboy03: no [12:42] oboy03: The list of packages yes [12:43] soundray: yes, for some reason it's disabled for me in writer, in calc it works fine [12:43] oboy03: please read the links that ubotu gave you [12:43] thanks [12:43] where it exits full screen every 15 Minuit's and you cant control anything [12:43] Wirwing: one of those backups (xorg.conf.1, xorg.conf.2, etc,) will probably work, though it's tedious to keep trying them (which you do by renaming each to "xorg.conf") --- there's probably a faster way, but i don't recall [12:43] edwin: what irc client do you use [12:43] rblst: disabled how? Greyed out? === af_rizal is now known as bagoez [12:44] prince_jammys: I'd recommend copying rather than renaming [12:44] soundray: yes grey, i've even installed the newest version of OO.o that is not yet in the repo.. [12:44] Cew27: oh, if i knew that was your problem, i'd have told you how to fix it :P anyways, its going to do that for every gl program you have. I'd have a look at the winefix script. among other things, it'll automatically turn off compiz when opengl programs are started and turn it back on when ever you exit [12:44] soundray: how do you mean? [12:44] rblst: bad move [12:45] soundray: gotcha [12:45] prince_jammys: if you rename xorg.conf.1 to xorg.conf, then rename xorg.conf.2 to xorg.conf, you will have lost xorg.conf.1 [12:45] edwin: what is the name of the script ?? [12:45] Cew27: at least then you won't have to turn on/off compiz manually all the time. that, and the script has a few other cool features. btw, i'm just using x chat irc client [12:45] Cew27: winefix i think. i'll find it [12:45] Anyone else have a problem with "Switch Users" when Compiz is running? [12:45] Wirwing: yes, copying each backup is definitely better, since if you rename you then lose the backup [12:46] edwin: im using pidgin, it isnt that good there is no auto complete for names or sound notifcation [12:46] soundray: well, i first asked the OO.o team, and they told me the version in Ubuntu is old and buggy [12:46] Cew27: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=533257 [12:46] rblst: well, you should have asked ubuntu people about that first [12:46] Cew27: ewwwww.. i love pidgin, i hate it for irc. just get x chat. if you're into commandline, bitchX is supposed to be really good [12:47] edwin: the game i was running was open arena, native for linux will the wine script still be effective [12:47] help! [12:47] soundray: i did tell him to back up the entire directory before,tho [12:47] rblst: I'm sorry you got such bad advice [12:47] Cew27: yes. the script was made for when you run wine games, but it works perfectly with any opengl program, i've tried and tested many times [12:47] edwin: thanks ill go get it and get xchat bye [12:47] soundray: overkill safety, but what the hey [12:48] ok, i dunno how ter use auctex, but the adventure-game in emacs is cool :) [12:48] prince_jammys: i already backup my original xorg. I already copy into another location, then deleted the original one, and copied then again to /etc/X11/ [12:48] Did anyone have any problems after updating firefox on Gutsy? [12:48] Wirwing: and nothing [12:48] sknh: what kind of problems? [12:48] English help wanted. Gnome main menu > System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes lists a table with 9 columns. What is the headline of the 3rd and the 9th column in English? [12:48] soundray: so what do you advise me to do? [12:48] rblst: anyway, first thing I'd try is to stop OOo, rename $HOME/.openoffice.org2/ and start it again so it creates a new user configuration [12:48] sknh: How did you update firefox [12:48] Wirwing: that's weird, if your original xorg.conf worked for you [12:48] after the update, my firefox didn't restart [12:48] rblst: ^^ [12:48] thru the synaptic package manager [12:49] I had to manually start it [12:49] and it didn't start [12:49] hmm, no, just had some problems with my addons recently, but it did always start [12:49] sknh: If you type firefox in terminal do you get an error [12:49] does it say anything, why it won't start again? [12:49] after 2-3 attempts it finally started but firebug didn't seem to work [12:49] soundray: i'll try that now, thanks [12:49] so I disabled, uninstalled firebug and tried to start firefox again [12:49] bullgard4: perhaps you should ask in the channel for your language? there's only 6 columns for me. [12:49] but now it doesn't seem to be stable === co_kenter_fs is now known as coW_ctr [12:50] has anybody work with libvirt? i cant connect to my xend [12:50] libvirt.open("xen:///") [12:50] libvir: Remote error : No such file or directory [12:50] libvir: warning : Failed to find the network: Is the daemon running ?

[12:51] so I was wondering if this problem is related to the Gutsy's version of firefox ? [12:52] bullgard4: columns can be disabled/enabled and reordered, therefore "nth column" is ambiguous [12:52] sknh: With firebug removed, completely remove firefox and reinstall and test before adding firebig back in [12:52] Veeger1: I tried uninstalling firefox [12:52] Veeger1: rolling back to an older version [12:52] bullgard4: Process name. There are only six columns here. [12:52] Veeger1: I did just that [12:52] sknh: HAve you changed or added any repos [12:53] Veeger1: I installed firebug again and it refused to start up [12:53] soundray: Thank you. [12:53] Veeger1: nope, I never did that [12:53] sknh: what version of firefox are you using [12:53] Veeger1: right now I am on 2.0.0.12 [12:54] void^: I did not know that the columns can be permutated. So please tell me all six names you have in English and I will try to assciate them to my foreign release of Ubuntu 7.10. [12:54] Veeger1: what do you think I should try doing? [12:54] Where is the root's Trash folder located? === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil [12:54] sknh: same here .. do you have a link to firebug, where I do not need to be reg'd to get it [12:55] Leechzilla: /root/.Trash [12:55] thanks, prince_jammys [12:55] Leechzilla: /anyuser-dir/.Trash [12:56] Veeger1: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 [12:56] soundray: no dice, both increase and decrease button, and the dropdown menu inbetween is grey [12:56] bullgard4: Process Name, Status, %CPU, Nice, ID, Memory [12:57] soundray: Thank you very much for your help. [12:57] soundray: could it be some setting i unconsciously modified? [12:57] Hey, I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a fairly lowend laptop (256mb ram, 1.4gherz celeron M) and it's running quite a bit slower than I remember it being. Is there anything I can do to speed things up abit, other than using a more lightweight DE? [12:57] rblst: and when you leave Preview, you can zoom? [12:57] sknh: Installed fine and ff back up.. how would you like me to test it. [12:57] rblst: I've had a look under Tools-Options, but found no candidates [12:58] hi there, where would my firefox profile be stored? I've looked in /usr/lib but it doesn't seem to be there [12:58] Veeger1: press F12 [12:58] darkness3477: slow startup or all-around slow? [12:58] Veeger1: do you see the window split? [12:58] Veeger1: have any website open before you do that [12:58] sknh: That is handy.. and it brought up the html of the site [12:59] Veeger1: right, it is working for you? [12:59] sknh: So we have eliminated a bug in the gutsy version of ff agreed [12:59] Veeger1: How come it is not working for me [12:59] soundray: yes, in View menu, in Magnify (or something similar) i can zoom [12:59] anyone know of a good way to slim down a pdf? ie.. perhaps remove some pictures in it? compress it? threaten to delete it perhaps? [12:59] Veeger1: How do I install a clean version of firefox [12:59] rblst: perhaps the hardware accel/OpenGL settings make a difference (Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org-View) [13:00] sinbox: ~/.mozilla/firefox/ [13:00] Veeger1: I am not worried about my profile... I don't mind replacing it [13:00] prince_jammys: Startup was normal, I suppose. It's just running slow in general. [13:00] sknh: have you looked at the errors that firefox generates when you launch it from a terminal? [13:01] I did have arch linux on this laptop, and it was running quite fast. I expected Ubuntu to be a bit slower, as it's not 686 optimized, but still.. this is slow. [13:01] sknh: also see if it works when you start it with 'firefox -safe-mode' (no extensions) [13:01] soundray: I am running chatzilla now... can't really restart firefox [13:01] ima li balgari tuka [13:01] ? [13:01] soundray: yeah... I want to try that too [13:01] prince_jammy if he uses synaptic to remove completely, and verifies he has no .mozilla or deletes what is left and reinstalls with synaptic, will that do it? [13:01] soundray: may be you ppl can hang on a little while I try that and get back in here? [13:02] sknh: maybe [13:02] soundray: thanks [13:02] Veeger1: it should, it is basically uninstalling and purging [13:02] soundray: i ticked them, no difference [13:03] rblst: if they had been ticked, and you had now unticked them, I would have been more hopeful [13:03] Veeger1: i haven't been following, but when you say "will that do it?" i assume you mean "will that completely remove firefox?" [13:03] prince_jammys: yes [13:03] So, is there anything I can do to speed things up a bit? Or could it be that this is just the first time loading it up, so it's running slowly (which seems a little odd to me). [13:04] Veeger1: then yes, it should [13:04] prince_jammys: and any addons or other things that may be causinghis problem [13:04] Veeger1: it's pretty safe to guess that all personal mozilla stuff would go in .mozilla [13:04] soundray: thank you very very much for your help anyway, i gotta dash now [13:05] prince_jammys: thanks, just checking [13:05] rblst: keep looking though, it's got to have a solution...

[13:43] MasterMel consider...: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.

[14:05] Derspankster, not exactly the best - virtual box. [14:05] so you vote for virtual box? [14:06] each has something better [14:06] Can anyone tell m what is going on in my Terminal?

They worked fine but I just had to reinstall xgl, and now I cant get them to be treated as separate monitors [14:14] #help [14:15] For example maximizing a window maximizes it on both monitors, not the current one [14:15] any solution?

Do you see any problems? [14:17] thank you Adys and jrib, I mean .mp3 and .avi files [14:17] they should be in the official repos [14:17] hello again, can someone tell me what "swap" is and what it is used for [14:18] !swap | Cew27 [14:18] Cew27: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [14:18] hey, i want to upgrade to hardy development because i want to develop a patch for something, but i cannot be bothered to do a frsh install. is there a way to upgrade to hardy without manually changing sources.list? [14:18] !hardy | idnzor [14:18] idnzor: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [14:18] mjw-: where do i find a list of these irc commands [14:19] how much of a benefit can I expect from compiling my own kernel? [14:19] ThreeFingerPete: none === ivia is now known as Renbo [14:19] Cew27: http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:19] (if you are asking that question) [14:19] yeah, understand its beta, dont mind if it borks my system. i just dont want to upgrade up changing the sources.list coz that usually messes things up. [14:19] i need to develop a patch against the latest gnome sources..... [14:19] idnzor: consider just installing hardy in a virtual machine and develop there [14:19] jrib: thanks. so why would i do it on a x86 machine? [14:20] ThreeFingerPete: a lot learning is the best benefit you'll get [14:20] i need composite window manager though for testing :) [14:20] how do i download and run itunes on ubuntu? [14:20] This is my problem I donwnload wine and installed yahelite and It does about everything ,but when I go to a room I can't get the link to the login page the one that has a picture of text you put in and then you login . It for keeping out bots. I do get a box that I think has something to do with that ,but I don't see text or anything [14:20] nickrud: so you suggest that i dual install ubuntu to another drive to mess with it? [14:20] i have an intel chip - i am guessing i could not run compiz or compostite metacity in a virtual machine? correct me if im wrong [14:20] VeganZombie: look at this line tcp 0 0 xomp-desktop:27015 *:* LISTEN as you can see something is listening on your port on all all network cards [14:20] ornberg214: you need to run it through wine [14:20] ornberg214: using wine perhaps? don't know if there is a itunes for linux [14:21] ThreeFingerPete: that would be an excellent idea. [14:21] hi, what's the usual reason when packages.ubuntu.com lists a package in 'main' but apt-get doesn't find it ? (libc6-dev-amd64 to be exact) [14:21] idnzor: running it in a VM without direct hardware acccess would be hard [14:21] nickrud: I always listen to excellent ideas. thanks [14:21] cercu1etz: apt-cache search libc6-dev [14:21] !itunes | ornberg214 [14:21] ornberg214: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [14:21] I think there is a lot of different prgs u can use for put files in to you ipod. [14:21] ikonia: -i386 is there, but -amd64 is not [14:21] cercu1etz: you can only get the amd64 version if your running the x86_64 release. [14:21] Not only iTunes. [14:21] cercu1etz: are you running the x86_64 release. [14:21] ikonia: yes [14:22] ikonia: and archive..../pool/main/g/glibc/... has it [14:22] cercu1etz: what does uname -a show [14:22] do you know some software to convert a divx to 3gp? [14:22] cercu1etz: I'm surprised you can see the 32bit stuff [14:22] ikonia: Linux pike 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux [14:22] cercu1etz: thats quite surprising. [14:22] anyone know of a good little mp3 player that i can use i see them all the time in screenshots etc [14:22] cercu1etz: contact the maintiner [14:22] ikonia: I agree :) [14:23] yeah i dont think i can use compiz in a virtual machine..... [14:23] cercu1etz: I assume your sources.list is fine - pointing at the 64bit repo's [14:23] ikonia: hmm. ok (but in the meanting, should I have the -amd64 package ?) [14:23] so anyway to upgrade? i did it to gutsy once, i had to edit some apt file [14:23] ikonia: not sure about that (sources.list) [14:23] idnzor what do you want to upgrade [14:23] cercu1etz check it [14:23] idnzor: the people on ubuntu+1 will walk you through it [14:23] m4steR: I did some converting the other way.. I can't really remember what I used.. perhaps mencoder [14:23] hi guys [14:24] ikonia: 1sec ... man sources.list [14:24] m4steR: I remember googling a lot and compiling some stuff to get it to work [14:24] ThreeFingerPete: my point was just that you should not expect a performance benefit just because you compile your kernel. But if you are interested in learning that your idea is a good one [14:24] Slart: mencoder is an excellent tool [14:24] ikonia: yes.. and 3gpp is a shitty format.. it evens out =) [14:24] ikonia, so does that indicate that I should be able to connect through that port to my server? [14:24] i am working on murrine development, patching applications to use the rgba colormap enable composite applications, just want to upgrade so i can start pacthing bleeding edge gnome stuff [14:24] Slart, ok i will do some googling [14:24] :D [14:24] jrib: a little of both. [14:24] ikonia: should I have something like $(ARCH) instead of gutsy ? [14:24] VeganZombie: that indiciates that "something" is listening on that port on all your nics [14:25] thanks ikonia :) [14:25] cercu1etz: I've not got a 64bit box to hand to check, but you should have gutsy as a line definatly [14:25] ikonia: right now it's plain "deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted" et cetera [14:25] cercu1etz: the sources won't look any different between 32 and 64 bit [14:25] nickrud: a-ha [14:25] cercu1etz: that looks right [14:26] hmm, so what should I have installed ? the libc6-dev or libc6-dev-amd64 ? [14:26] okay ill try something else. How do i switch from xgl back to x? [14:26] I need some help. i was trying to enable xgl with my ati card, but it didnt work, now I got xserver running, except that i cant see anything on my gnome desktop environment, just the mouse pointer. [14:26] prince_jammys: i tried what u told me, but nothing happens. [14:26] cercu1etz: libc6-dev should use your arch [14:26] Wirwing: just trying to get some hints, oh well [14:27] hi - i have a little problem [14:27] ikonia: I think so, but I don't have /usr/include/gnu-linux-x86_x64... (and looks like gcc reads the -i386 includes when compiling) [14:27] cercu1etz: shouldn't do, ubuntu isn't multilib [14:27] playing dvds with vlc and 2ch - Audio works fine [14:27] I have this problem. I cannot access my site in the LAN...but only outside the LAN. Anybody who knows how to solve this? M using ubuntu server [14:27] ikonia: multilib means it has x86 .so's and amd64 ones as well ? [14:27] but plying with 5.1 don't [14:28] Hello, I am using Gutsy Gibbon, I'm having a small problem with ALSA. In the sound settings i have my SB live card set as default but it wants to use my integrated intel card. in alsamixer it shows the intel as default. how would i change it to my SB live card (alsa refers it as card 2)? [14:28] cercu1etz: correct [14:28] ikonia: or is it referring to .h's [14:28] ah ok [14:28] cercu1etz: if you do a gcc -v you'll see it should be 64bit only so it won't know to look in the 32bit lib/include paths [14:28] cercu1etz: at least I believe thats the case the last time I did cross-compiling on ubuntu, [14:28] the sound stutters / flickering [14:28] ikonia: I hoped so too, but stracing a compile looks like it opens /usr/include/....h :( [14:29] Hi, I've tried to burn a md5 checksummed iso, but it still contains errors after burning it with Nero 7 and PowerISO on Win XP. [14:29] Any other programs that could to a better job? [14:29] Necrodrako: one way is to disable your onboard sound card from the BIOS - do you know how to do that [14:29] Necrodrako: if you never use the onboard, the simplest method is to disable it in bios [14:29] cercu1etz: don't forget that /lib64 is on multilib only [14:29] cercu1etz: /lib is 64bit on 64bit systems [14:29] ikonia: also, gcc -v sayz Target: x86_64-linux-gnu [14:29] cercu1etz: ldd gcc and you'll see it's 64bit only [14:29] if I install ubuntu alternate cd using virtualbox will I later be able to install GUI? might be a dumb question but I dont completly understand how virtual machines work [14:29] I get warnings like "debootstrap warning: failure while configuring base packages" when doing the text based install [14:29] has anyone an idea for solving my problem? [14:29] IdleOne: the alternative cd installs a gui [14:30] ikonia: so, /lib and /usr/include should just have x86_64 versions ... great then :D [14:30] hello? [14:30] ikonia: thank you [14:30] ikonia, yeah I meant if I use the server install [14:30] IdleOne: and the os inside the vm can't really tell the difference of where it is at the apt-get level [14:30] prince_jammys: Ive never done it before, but it shouldnt be too hard to figure out [14:30] ikonia: (but the -amd64 pkg is useless then) [14:30] Necrodrako: you know how to access the BIOS? [14:31] IdleOne: you can install it [14:31] nickrud: ok, thanks [14:31] Does sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv work with your ATI? I can't get video overlay with XV... The movie looks poor and like without antialiassing... (Fglrx 8.2) [14:31] nickrud, so that means the os thinks it is fully installed on the HD and not virtualy [14:31] prince_jammys: yeah [14:31] I have 2 network cards (connected to two different networks) yet iptables allows connecting only to one of the networks. [14:31] Necrodrako: should work [14:31] How do I fix this? [14:31] ikonia, thanks [14:31] Ello all [14:31] prince_jammys: I appreciate the help, ill go do that now. Thanks! [14:31] IdleOne: yes. There's a few things at the hardware level that benefit from tweaking, but it's done automatically [14:31] IdleOne, do you get errors when trying to install from the alternate cd's? [14:32] Necrodrako: np [14:32] Webdevotion, have not tried yet but I get errors from the livecd [14:32] what kind of errors? [14:32] Webdevotion, not enough memory [14:33] ic, I had that when trying the "full" version [14:33] Webdevotion, Host memory low is the error I get [14:33] Webdevotion, although there is 512mb should be plenty to install [14:33] idd [14:34] I'm sorry, this might sound like a silly question, but when your computer locks up in windows, you usually try to do a ctrl alt delete to try and kill off the non responding application. Is there like a Ubuntu/linux equivalent of this? [14:34] I'm trying to install on an older ibm thinkpad (xubuntu) [14:34] can someone help me get an irc cloak? [14:34] always fail to install the base system [14:35] Mushrooms there is , using the magic sysrq keys [14:35] Still very new to Ubuntu, is there a way to mount a second hard drive, and if so, where would I be able to find the info on how to do it? I can't seem to find anything on how, but I kinda remember seeing that it could be done somewhere. [14:35] tiberion, you'd be better joining #freenode and asking in there [14:35] !info tcsh [14:35] a google shows something like http://fosswire.com/2007/09/08/fix-a-frozen-system-with-the-magic-sysrq-keys/ Mushrooms [14:35] tcsh (source: tcsh): TENEX C Shell, an enhanced version of Berkeley csh. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.14.00-7 (gutsy), package size 330 kB, installed size 692 kB [14:35] sn0 i read somewhere about ctrl alt f1 but all that did was cause a source of panic by making my screen completely dark [14:35] !cloak > tiberion (Please see the private message from ubotu) [14:35] Mushrooms: ps ax lists all processes by number, then you can do "kill process_number", OR you can just type "killall process_name" , eg. killall firefox [14:36] Mushrooms ctrl+alt+f1 to ctrl+alt+f6 mearly open a tty terminal login, thats how it works :) you can switch back to the gui using ctrl+alt+f7 [14:36] !cloak > w8tah [14:36] Mushrooms: if alt-f2 works, type xkill and then click the offending window [14:36] prince_jammys, sn0: I installed that macromedia flash plugin and it hung my firefox big time [14:36] Which program do you guys use to burn an ISO on Windows to install a fresh system? Getting errors in my burns. [14:37] Webdevotion: infrarecorder , open source [14:37] Mushrooms: installed from where? [14:37] ok, will look it up [14:37] prince_jammys, sn0 nickrud: infact it locked up so hardcore that my mouse wouldn't even move anymore. [14:37] prince_jammys: the repositories [14:37] Mushrooms flash is made by adobe, so it can and will do that :) maybe try "gnash" which works a bit better thesedays [14:37] prince_jammys: through the synaptics packet manager [14:37] Mushrooms: then you need that sysrq link sn0 gave you [14:37] webdevotion: ISORecorder [14:37] a bit better than older gnash, not adobe flash [14:38] Webdevotion: isorecorder2 its freeware [14:38] tnx [14:38] How can i enable direct rendering? heres my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55964/ I have aixgl enabled, dri, etc. [14:38] webdevotion: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/ [14:38] open source > freeware [14:38] Mushrooms: ok for the future - when X is stuck, do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to access a terminal , and Ctrl-Alt-F7 to go back to X after you've killed the bad program... try it now if you've never tried it before .. as far as the plug in, sorry don't know [14:38] prince_jammys, sn0, nickrud: I also had a look at the 'bugs.launchpad" to see if other people had the same problem, and it appears that it's been reported [14:39] Webdevotion: After installing ISORecorder, you will get an extra menu item when you right-click on an ISO file to burn to CD. [14:39] jrib > OK I've even tried reinstall. Now that I've moved the last files it was fussing with bak in place, it now makes a New error, more grewsome. now its wanting gtk and its calling TreeView (because they put in a file browser button/widget in this program- obviously incorrectly) [14:39] Wirwing: try removing the Group 0 in your dri config, that limits direct rendering to root [14:39] jrib r u still there? n about? =) [14:39] prince_jammys: when i do a ctrl-alt-f1, my screen just goes completely dark.. it doesn't look like a terminal at all [14:40] Mushrooms: you don't get a prompt? [14:40] test3r: did this program ever work? [14:40] prince_jammys: no, no prompt, the screen just goes completel dark [14:40] Mushrooms: text mode [14:40] yes it worked for quite some time [14:40] prince_jammys: *completely [14:40] Mushrooms: crap - screen resolution issue [14:40] its 'pypar2' [14:40] nickrud: remove all the section "DRI", or just the "group 0" text? [14:40] its a GUI for parcing the par2 files [14:40] Wirwing: just the group 0 [14:40] Mushrooms: the prompt is there, you just don't see it :) -- if you know what i mean [14:40] test3r: does par2 work without the gui? [14:41] prince_jammys: yep i'm with you. it's 'outside' the viewable area [14:41] dunno! loemme try [14:41] Mushrooms: when you start ubuntu, can you see the splash screen with the logo? [14:41] prince_jammys: yes, after that fix you directed me to earlier, i can see the splash screen now [14:42] Mushrooms: ah it was you ... ok you have a similar problem with the tty (terminal) [14:42] prince_jammys: for both powering on and powering off sequences, i see the logo [14:43] prince_jammys: oh ok, i can find that through the 'bugs.launch' site right? [14:43] ok, so we need to be constructive, we also need to help lamers/thiefs/criminals... [14:43] Mushrooms: currently googling [14:43] is it possible to restore gnome in some way? I cant see any menus, neither start any X programs.. [14:43] prince_jammys: ok, i'll give it a shot. one has to become independent some day :) [14:44] i've just installed Ubuntu Desktop 7.10 (alternate CD) - installation went fine, GRUB is installed, when it comes to boot though, i get a message about the kernel tables at the bottom of the screen, then a blank screen [14:44] no splash screen is displayed, and nothing happens [14:44] acrimo: how long did you wait? [14:44] i've tried ctrl, shift + backspace to kill X in case it was a display prob, but that didn't work [14:44] hi [14:44] Mushrooms: try google ubuntu tty "black screen", it's out there [14:44] i waited about 15 mins nickrud [14:45] Mushrooms: tty (teletype terminal i think) is the name for that type of terminal [14:45] acrimo: that's long enough for it to not be what I was thinking [14:45] the recovery mode works fine, with no errors [14:45] and if i use startx in recovery mode, then i get the desktop [14:45] prince_jammys: yeah i didn't know what tty was so i had to do a define:tty in google first haha [14:45] i tried, but it doesnt work. [14:46] Mushrooms: old-school name for terminals, back when they were teletype [14:46] acrimo: try editing /boot/grub/menu.lst , changing #groot=quiet (remove splash) run update-grub , and rebooting [14:46] acrimo: that removes the splash screen, gives a text boot screen [14:47] heres my xorg. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55966/ I cant enable direct rendering, i dont know why. [14:47] when i try to insert a cd i view on the screen "cannot mount volume" [14:47] why?? :( [14:47] jrib > par2 itself appears to be fine. I think I've been here b4! Deja Vu!@ this program needs a fixing I'ma write a note & learn C# Today. [14:47] will give that a go [14:47] thanks nickrud [14:47] test3r: you should try purging it and installing again [14:47] m4steR: has it always said that or did it ever work? [14:48] Wirwing: put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [14:48] is that the "remove complete" is that ne different?

[14:55] prince_jammys: If I were to set the screen resolution of the splash and logo to something low, it wouldn't affect how i see everything in the OS will it? I had a quick browse through the answers.launch place, and it appears linked to the problem I had earlier [14:55] I ran the kernel update yesterday, and when I reboot, I get Error 13 -- I think this is a Grub error -- it says that the executable (the kernel?) is not okay. I'm trying to find out if there's any way to recover from this besides reinstalling [14:55] hi ppl [14:56] nickrud: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [14:56] Wirwing: are you running xserver-xgl? [14:56] Mushrooms: the problems are related, but i don't know what effect changing the res would have. try if you want -- remember how to restore everything if it messes stuff up [14:56] no, i dont have it installed, cause im using aixgl [14:56] is there who install ubuntu on a mac ? [14:56] prince_jammys: yeah i'm going to have a go at that now [14:56] Just got back from some extensive testing to try and get my network to start on boot. No luck yet ... anyone got a good step by step guide? [14:57] Mushrooms: the problems are definitely related - it's an issue of screen resolution when you are not in the desktop environment [14:57] Wirwing: just wanted to be sure [14:57] nickrud: ok, i have installed it, and then? [14:58] prince_jammys: I understand. I'll have a crack at trying to fix this one myself.. hopefully i don't screw up hehe [14:58] Wirwing: this stumps me, since line 773 and 774 say dri is good. And you don't want xserver-xgl , it will cause glxinfo to say no to direct rendering [14:58] helllo$$$ [14:59] Wirwing: a stupid question, you did restart X after removing that group line? [14:59] nickrud, i really dont care about direct rendering, but if i run compiz, it call that process at the beginning, saying something like: Direct rendering =no, and all the other stuff doesnt start.

I notice that if I open a separate terminal, and issue "killall gedit" it closes the connection between gedit and the terminal, as well as shutting down gedit. This is not true for firefox. Is this normal?

[16:25] rvalles how often do you tinker with syslogd ? [16:25] hello all [16:25] hello anyone know how i can install the eclipse-cdt plugin for ubuntu? is there a package or something? [16:25] How do I get from X windows to console mode (run level 3) ? [16:25] amenado: I use gentoo at home [16:25] Tankado: search synaptic to see if there is a package in the repo [16:25] rvalles-> wpa keys are also defined in same interfaces file [16:25] adamb: init 3 [16:26] amenado: I got computers for my sisters as a present, this one needs wifi (router in another room, no cable) [16:26] ikonia : i tried i only see "eclipse" as a whole but not the cdt plugin [16:26] adamb: as root [16:26] adamb: ubuntu uses runlevel 2 by default [16:26] I've had problems with using secure WPA with ubuntu [16:26] that does nothing [16:26] amenado: it's not there. [16:26] Tankado: what format file does the plugin come in [16:26] adamb: You want to stop xwindows temporarily? [16:26] amenado: what's the syntax? then I'd try and add that by hand [16:26] init 3 doesn't do anything. [16:26] rvalles-> you have to add it in, it does not magically add the wpa keys [16:26] Pici: yes.. [16:26] anyone knows how to install x-fi soundblaster fatal1ty on gutsy?! [16:26] Where is the inittab?

[16:27] they offer to download it there : http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/downloads.php but i heard its arealy long process and thought i could find something simpler [16:27] Whites: Is your card blacklisted [16:27] rvalles some info we dont have readily available, so we google for it ourselves [16:27] Tankado: doesn't look like there is anything in the repo for it [16:27] amenado: networkmanager _knows_ the key... it does even work the moment I edit the essid (delete a char and put it back, then click okay) [16:28] rvalles, any ideea, please? :| [16:28] dr-raku it is not detected [16:28] ok thanks ikonia will just d/l it from there [16:28] amenado: if networkmanager did work, it'll all be easy and nice, it's just exposing problems [16:28] adamb: ubuntu uses runlevels like debian does [16:28] adamb: 2-5 are all the same thing: multiuser with X [16:28] yeah im unsure of that, im used to fedora/rh [16:28] if i have a file.deb how do i install it? [16:28] <[chr0n0s]> Can anyone help me with compiz and ATi Driver version: 8.455.2 ?? || can i get it working without XGL ? [16:28] oh so how do I get to a runlevel without X, heh [16:28] rvalles i advised you already, you dont have to tinker with it if you have it set in the interfaces file [16:28] js1: dpkg -i [16:28] will Ubuntu ever allow package selection during install? [16:28] adamb: you can use update-rc.d to edit what starts or doesnt during different runlevels [16:28] jsl: dpkg [16:28] adamb: its the debian version of chkconfig [16:29] Or ikonia beat me to that :P [16:29] Ahh ok got it. [16:29] frijolie: you can try the minimal install [16:29] how can i increase the number of screen resolutions supported? I have a graphics card and monitor capable of 1680x1050 but the list only goes upto 1280x1024 [16:29] thx [16:29] Package libpcap0 is not installed. [16:29] ? [16:29] js1: and ? [16:29] adamb: i am now glad i'm taking a (wayyyy too easy for a seniors-only class) sysadmin class that forces me to learn RH [16:29] how do i install it: apt-get install libpcap doesnt work [16:30] js1: libcap1 [16:30] js1: thats the only libcap in the repos [16:30] js1: use synaptic - search for libpcap [16:30] bazhang: is there a list of packages installed in that "minimal install"? [16:30] anyone knows how to install x-fi soundblaster fatal1ty on gutsy?! the device is not detected [16:30] js1: are you trying to install nmap, or something like that [16:30] * nerdsquad3210 is listening to - Wicked Wires Vs Brain Hunters - Don't Panic.mp3 [16:30] acrimo System->administration->screen and display [16:31] neverblue: we don't need to know that, please disable that plugin [16:31] acrimo System->administration->screen and graphics* [16:31] oops [16:31] whites: your card is probably blacklisted like most Intel [16:31] amenado: I'm trying to figure out its syntax to no avail, tho [16:31] nerdsquad3210 we don't need to know that, please disable that plugin [16:31] whites: i've heard that x-fi isnt supported [16:31] frijolie: that is really up to you beyond the bare minimum [16:31] nerdsquad3210: amenado was talking to you [16:31] rvalles have you googled for it yet? [16:31] amenado: manpage for interfaces doesn't have anything wireless-related on it [16:31] whites: You will have to install Asta driver [16:31] amenado: yup, it's not so easy [16:31] fatereconciled have u got an howto? [16:31] prince_jammys: fyi you don't need to run winecfg if you dont have a windows server, just setup a wine config file.... [16:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [16:32] rvalles okay lets do this together, open up your browser, point to google and search on ubuntu interfaces wpa key [16:32] thesaint4444: i was looking for that ... most of the documentation now assumes you're in a desktop environment [16:32] Instead of disabling HD at BIOS disable the soundblaster === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil [16:33] just wondeing, will upgrading a single core > dual core CPU confuse a new install ? ( meaning I should wait ) ? [16:33] bazhang: ok, I've never heard of the minimal install..I'll bet you have to install a bunch of stuff afterwards. does it at least install a graphical boot? [16:33] ikonia: ipaudit [16:33] nerdsquad3210: should be fine [16:33] prince_jammys: someone one the debian irc channel told me :-) cheers. [16:33] lol i'm going crazy [16:33] frijolie: not sure at all--my only minimal install was a debian net boot ;] [16:33] what what ? [16:33] Whites [16:34] Did you get that? [16:34] rvalles has that help yet? [16:34] bazhang: D'oh! [16:34] yep i saved the bookmark [16:34] frijolie: a truly minimal install like ubuntu server does not include a graphical login [16:34] alright [16:34] i'm in office now... i'm getting infos [16:34] ahh [16:34] amenado: ok, found something useful; the main problem was that nm or somebody was launching wpa_supplicant with -C [16:34] js1: js1 ipaudit wants an older version of libpcap than ubuntu 7.04 or 7.10 ships with (just reading the dependencies) [16:34] What are you running 7.1? [16:34] yep [16:34] Hah yeah.. same problem here [16:34] prince_jammys: not talking about the server though thanks [16:34] ubuntu server is suposed to be setup with out monitor [16:35] Alot of incompatibility between .04 and .10 [16:35] <[-Haza-]> Afternoon folks. How might i go about installing Ubuntu Desktop onto my laptop with a broken DVD Rom? [16:35] installed generic kernel, nvidia driver wouldnt stick, uninstalled generic kernel, nvidia driver still wont stick [16:35] i read it... :\ so bad [16:35] <[-Haza-]> Can it be done via usb? [16:35] amenado: so that I wouldn't be able to point it to my wpa_supplicant.conf; now I think I now how; I'm gonna investigate that throughly [16:35] !install > [-Haza-] (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [16:35] Hisotaso: what version of ubuntu are you using [16:35] Hah, try having your girlfriend nag at you during that process [16:35] 7.10 [16:35] ubuntu 7.10 is massivley incompatible with ATi 2***XT cards [16:35] It's much worse :] [16:35] bazhang: is there another minimal install? [16:35] Hisotaso: 32bit desktop [16:35] [-Haza-]: may be... [16:35] prince_jammys: aye [16:35] rvalles okay, good luck, a lil nudge is all it took you.. :) [16:35] <[-Haza-]> HEheh, i like the answer [16:35] ikonia: is that a question? [16:35] Hisotaso: yes, [16:36] So I installed nvida driver with "envy" but it doesn't seem to see my secondary monitor, what else can i do? [16:36] fatereconciled there are 64b drivers from creative but i don't know why the installation crash... [16:36] !envy > adamb [16:36] ikonia, i seena previous post for me, about a plugin, wrong person, correct? [16:36] thx [16:36] Ikonia i dont know where i can check that [16:36] neverblue: spot on [16:36] ikonia: ? [16:36] <[-Haza-]> Pici: Cheers mate :) [16:36] Hisotaso: what version of ubuntu did you download 32bit / 64bit desktop / server [16:36] adamb: check the pm from ubotu [16:36] oph its 32 [16:36] sorry [16:37] what do you mean upon loading driver on boot? [16:37] ikonia it was working before but i saw womething online that said the generic kernel supported dual core [16:37] so i wanted to try it [16:37] ikonia: yeah i tried the restricted drivers on and off, and still didn't see my second monitor [16:37] fatereconciled are u talking to me? :P [16:37] what else could I try? [16:37] yes =P [16:37] prince_jammys: well, I definately don't want a server environment. I at least want GNOME installed [16:37] amenado: gonna reboot now and hopefully will go up during boot [16:37] Hisotaso: it does [16:38] fatereconciled i got 2 soundcards... internal and this x-fi... i can only load internal drivers from boot [16:38] frijolie: prince_jammys was unaware of the other minimal install [16:38] adamb: well, you've borked you ubuntu install as far as I'm concerned using envy [16:38] rvalles if you read up that article on how to wpa... and used pre-up ...you'd be okay [16:38] I tried before using envy... [16:38] ikonia ya i just tried to go back to the 386 kernel to get my video working, thought i could just choose to boot to it in grub and it would be back to normal [16:38] using restricted drivers [16:38] adamb: so ? [16:38] bazhang: oh, so there's minimal install 1 and minimal install 2? Hehe [16:38] adamb: should have stuck with the drivers and made them work [16:38] go into BIOS and disable both before installing asta [16:39] adamb: envy is no the answer [16:39] Windows really Suckx !!! [16:39] frijolie: right. bazhang pointed out the other minimal install ... the server install doesnt even require that you install any server packages, but if you want a desktop you have to install it yourself [16:39] fatereconciled they're both disabled [16:39] ikonia: ok i will revert back, but what should I do to make restricted drivers work? [16:39] Indiadev_Techie: thats not appropriate here. [16:39] frijolie: well one is the minimal desktop; the other is ubuntu-server and nothing you want as far as I can tell [16:39] adamb: I'm not debugging an envy mess, I can't support you until you do a re-install on your machine [16:39] !offtopic | Indiadev_Techie [16:39] Indiadev_Techie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [16:39] whites hmm.. and you're sure all alsa was loaded correctly [16:39] what does it mean when apt-get reports (after an upgrade command) that is has held certain packages back? [16:39] ikonia: but it really **** !!! [16:39] is there something that needs to be done to install these packages? Are there conflicts? etc [16:39] I will re-install, i am asking when i do re-installed what do I do to get second monitor. [16:39] Indiadev_Techie: it doesn't matter. It's not appropriate or required here. [16:40] ikonia: i really hate it.... [16:40] Blue-Omega-> if you use synaptic, it takes care of dependencies [16:40] bazhang: isn't there a package called ubuntu-minimal or something similar? [16:40] amenado, ^ was that meant for me? [16:40] is there a way to make a hard drive image with dd without img the freespace of a disk? [16:40] hi everyone [16:40] Also, what is the current kernel out there? [16:40] ikonia: i have a old via p4 pc with 128mb ram nd 40gb harddrive....can i install ubuntu on it..... [16:41] yeah...change your nick so its easy to type [16:41] Indiadev_Techie: I'm not interested, and it's not appropriate for this channel [16:41] Not in all cases, amenado. [16:41] or, how do you tell what kernel you're running. I know there's a command to tell [16:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD frijolie [16:41] indiadev_Techie: may be xubuntu [16:41] fatereconciled-> it will attempt and sometimes off course it fails..nothing is 100% guaranteed [16:41] frijolie: uname -a [16:41] ikonia: hey, i m askin ubuntu question.. u should help me... [16:42] can someone help me? I'm having trouble getting Open Arena to run [16:42] bazhang: thanks [16:42] Indiadev_Techie: #fluxbuntu [16:42] prince_jammys: thanks [16:42] np [16:42] boris: Yes, for example. I presume the camera has some unfortunate proprietary interface and doesn't just plug into a USB slot and appear as a mass storage device [16:42] are you running open arena as root ? [16:42] i has tried to install ubuntu linux but after 4 hours of waiting to the next dialog to be open (language selection was last one) i interrupted the installation via reset of the machine i want to know where ubuntu place files (temporal) i have three partition of fat32 [16:42] Indiadev_Techie-> !attitude [16:42] i wanna try ubuntu on my old system toooo .... [16:42] Indiadev_Techie: try it out then [16:42] Indiadev_Techie: if it meets the minimum requirments, try it [16:43] I don't know, I downloaded it. when i run it the screen turns black then goes away. [16:43] Indiadev_Techie: if it doesn't, it's up to you what you do [16:43] sorry, noob here [16:43] Indiadev_Techie: get the livecd of fluxbuntu run it and if you like it install it [16:43] ikonia: but will it reun sucessfully... i have 128mb on my old pc... [16:43] orionjoe: how much RAM in the old box? [16:43] orionjoe: sorry, wrong nick [16:43] Indiadev_Techie: if it meets the minimum requirments it will run, how well depends on your needs and usage [16:43] bazhang: the minimal install is really "minimal" -- it's only 9MB! [16:43] that's ok, i was confused for a sec :P [16:43] orionjoe, lcd screen ? [16:44] Kouen-> just restart the install process, if you are really curious, boot on the liveCD and mount those partitions to check if any where stored [16:44] bazhang: i dont want any other os than ubuntu.... [16:44] hehe yes frijolie [16:44] on a laptop [16:44] I'm behind a gateway. How can I check my external IP? [16:44] The other day I installed nvidia drivers for my graphics card and now whenever I run updates or install a .deb package I get a system restart required notice. Why is this and can i keep it from happening? [16:44] ok thanks [16:44] Indiadev_Techie: you have asked and been answered this is not a chat channel [16:44] so yeah, lcd [16:44] Kibbles-> 62.90.99.15 [16:44] lol amenado thanks [16:45] hey all [16:45] hey what are the the differences between installing from live cd oposed to regular install cd ? [16:45] Why not, bazhang [16:45] nerdsquad3210: the livecd is the regular install cd [16:45] fatereconciled: why not what? [16:45] amenado: how'd you find that out though? [16:45] its not [16:45] does the live cd have compiz-fusion ? [16:45] nerdsquad3210: it is [16:45] the 700mb one [16:45] your kidding [16:45] nerdsquad3210: no [16:46] faris very basic effects yes [16:46] faris: should do, but I don't think running it from a livecd gives a good representation [16:46] Kibbles-> knowhow..learned it...google for tutorials on tcpip :) [16:46] !livecd | nerdsquad3210 [16:46] so no one knows how to get open arena working? [16:46] bazhang: I'm assuming that doesn't install xserver, right? [16:46] nerdsquad3210: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [16:46] no i dont want to run it from the live cd ,,its just for the download size [16:46] What's the terminal command to send data to a serial port on my computer? [16:46] but theres the not live install cdrom [16:46] frijolie: again no idea there sorry [16:46] Frijolie: It does [16:46] Hi guys, tried enabling Composite Extension with fglrx (latest version) and running KDE 4 in Gutsy Gibbon made my keyboard not working - any ideas? [16:46] i didnt know that [16:47] and all of them have the compiz-fusion ready out of the box right ? [16:47] nerdsquad3210: sounds like you got the alternate cd then [16:47] nerdsquad3210: Yes, the alternate CD. Thats for installing on things that may not be compatible with the LiveCD (usually graphics cards). No difference in what packages are installed though. [16:47] ok [16:47] alanbshepard70-> man uucp, cu is the command i think..thats goes ways back to your time..lol [16:47] bazhang or fatereconciled ? [16:47] faris: I had to install compiz manually [16:47] faris basic stuff if your card supports it [16:47] nerdsquad3210: it is called alternate install cd [16:48] amenado: thanks. lol. === Jt0m is now known as Jtom [16:48] bazhang <-- the chat help maniac [16:48] frijolie: haha [16:48] yea it does tried it before on opensuse after a very long effort [16:48] faris what card [16:48] shouldn't it be called alternative install cd ? [16:49] Geforce 6800GT [16:49] hello all [16:49] faris: the only thing you'll have to install is compizconfig-settings-manager [16:49] nerdsquad3210: alternative installation cd [16:49] the rest is provided [16:49] !alternate | nerdsquad3210 [16:49] faris nvidia are nice in ubuntu--that card should be fine [16:49] nerdsquad3210: 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 [16:49] alright ,,thnx [16:49] faris I have the 7300 and compiz rocks in it [16:50] Is it possible to change kubuntu intu ubuntu once it is installed... without a command line? [16:50] hi i've got a question: what option is there to be added to the first line in a shell script? like in "#!/bin/bash -P"... no idea what that means [16:50] compix steals resources from games ! [16:50] kitty_: yes [16:50] kitty_: install ubuntu-desktop from synaptic [16:50] kitty_: All you need to do is install the ubuntu_desktop package from your favorite package manager. [16:50] trying to configure bind9 on my gutsy gibbon server, i have my authoritative domains setup and working properly, but for some reason my dns server refuses to answer requests that are not authoritative, did i miss something somewhere? [16:50] kitty_: which is adept in the case of KDE/Kubuntu [16:51] great, thank you :) [16:51] actually am curious now, using oem install from 7.10, one can set a template install and how do one then uses oem logon to customize? [16:51] May I ask another question? [16:51] or do I have to buy beer first?

Can I get to my Ubuntu installation using vmware from within Windows, so that it has an Internet connection? [16:51] hi i've got a question: what option is there to be added to the first line in a shell script? like in "#!/bin/bash -P"... no idea what that means [16:51] kitty_: no only the one per day please ;] [16:51] I used Wubi to install Ubuntu, didnt work, then I tried Kubuntu, didnt work, I figured out it was a graphics driver issue [16:52] I got in through teh command line [16:52] Hi all, I'm getting confused with xrandr. I have a Lenovo N3000, and would like to use an external monitor... [16:52] ricky_clarkson-> care to ask #vmware channel for windows questions? [16:52] and installed the vesa driver [16:52] kitty_: wubi is not a supported install method or tool [16:52] mar77i that first line basically is calling the "interpreter" for the script that follows...in your case, it's calling bash, which is the default shell for ubuntu [16:52] amenado: Hokay. [16:52] bazhang: i guess I'm just trying to avoid spending 45 min after a fresh install of the ubuntu-desktop, removing all the--what I call--crap packages "rhythmbox, EVOLUTION, xsane, gnome-pilot, bluetooth, orca, ubuntu branded OOo, etc..." [16:52] mar77i you mean what is the -P [16:52] yes, but its the only option for me at the moment, seeing as how I am studying abroad in Japan, and my cd drive is dead ;) [16:52] mar77i: its also sometimes called the 'shebang' or 'hashbang' line. [16:53] I didnt want to risk anything that would require me to install anything with a cd... or mes with partitions [16:53] kitty_: that doesn't change the fact it's not supported [16:53] right, but I am past the wubi point, I am in kubuntu now [16:53] what is a good program to convert a vob file [16:53] so the questions arent regaurding wubi really [16:53] kitty_: but what/how wubi installs [16:53] I just wanted to ask about how to install the proper driver, sinc eI am using vesa now [16:54] kitty_: I'm sure someone else may respond [16:54] I have a mobility x700, and I just wanted to install the correct driver [16:54] what is a good program to convert a vob file [16:54] google is your friend [16:55] mar77i the path after the first two characters #!(referrer to as a she-bang) tell your comp where to find the interpreter for what follows .. in the case of a shell script, its /bin/bash [16:55] hello [16:55] how do I ftp a screen shot of my desktop to my webserver on another pc? === ivia is now known as Renbo [16:55] soulc: is the other pc running an ftp daemon ?

[17:49] it could mute and notice or msg instead of talking to the channel [17:49] hi does anyone here run awn [17:49] and the mute/unmute could be more spaced out [17:50] Pici: I have enabled universe if that is what youre going at [17:50] rather, there could be a longer delay for the unmute so it's not all together [17:50] Not that I'm complaining, but it just surpises me. Just a helpful spirit, or are y'all payed bt Cannonical? [17:50] brunner, good idea. talk to LjL about it . I believe he owns the floodbot's [17:50] eyemean: the new drive might be now the first one. so the grub config is now wrong [17:50] can some one please help me sort out grub, im really stuck and im new to linux [17:50] IdleOne: hey, thanks for the link.. I've looked at that page and can't work it out. I've installed 1.6 but for some reason firefox wont load java.. it states applet not intilized.. I've run the reconfigure [17:50] prince_jammys: sorry to bother you again but do you run awn [17:50] prince_jammys : just tried a "mount --bind" and chown the new mount point but that won't do the trick... the owner just won't change from root.. [17:50] Cew27: no, i don't [17:50] what is the module name for IA32 emulation called? [17:50] monzie unfortunately i don't know much about the fglrx driver...someone might be able to help also if you paste the output of compiz --replace [17:50] eyemean: can you access your hard disk from the livecd? [17:51] hep85 my new drive is sata1 and my second drive is ide [17:51] prince_jammys: oh ok [17:51] foormea hold on - do you want to change the partition permissions or the permissions of individual files inside?

[17:51] IdleOne: Sorry, I'm just trying to disguise my cranky mood as being constructive, not trying to actually be helpful [17:51] Pici: Did you die? [17:52] mjw-: http://pastebin.ca/904046 [17:52] Does anyone know a reason why a previously ext2 filesystem I copied 90 gigs worth of files on and had "du -sh" run successfully would become unmountable? [17:52] foormea oh ok because i do know how to change the partition permissions [17:52] hakon_: not yet, just thinking. [17:52] !guidelines > Zombine I think this message somewhat answers your question [17:52] hey guyz [17:52] need some help please [17:52] brunner, lol and still you mannaged to be helpful [17:52] i cant get amork or streamtuner to play anything [17:52] prince_jammys well basically i'd need a unix permission-able ntfs partition :D but apparently that's just not possible [17:52] Aphh: fsck corrects it?

I miss the old #debian attitude, "OMG RTFM! RTFM!!" [17:53] monzie sudo apt-get install xgl-server [17:53] amaroke is giving me no demux plugin [17:53] eyemean: The problem is that the system always boots from the first drive. so we must install grub onto the new drive [17:53] Pici: I used to have the same problem in 6.06... Some guy in here told me to do something in terminal that enabled a lot of packages and fixed the problem [17:53] Can someone help me, vmware tries to install as an extra package whenever i try to install ANY program, it wont go away [17:53] "Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks..." that doesn't look promising, heh. [17:53] monzie then restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace - this will also close everything without saving) and try running compiz --replace again [17:53] hakon_: Did you try doing a sudo apt-get update and try again?

[18:01] Bodsda: Heh, but is there any related commands I should know? [18:01] unperson my experience is that ALSA is now preferred [18:01] http://pastebin.com/d5b9532fc hep58 [18:01] http://pastebin.com/d5b9532fc hep85 [18:02] PythonMan_, i havent been following your problem,. but i remember something called hardwaremixing or audiomixing,.,.ask the channel about them,.,.it allows you to have more than 1 proram using the soundcard at the same time [18:02] Ok so I am using the restricted driver for my video card which has two monitor attached, only one monitor displays when I use restricted, when i dont I can see both monitor, but identical. not an extended. [18:02] eyemean: now type sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [18:02] mjw-, Hmm...I thought alsa was a driver architecture not a sound server, but I don't know much about this stuff. [18:02] Anyone point me in right direction of getting my second monitor working?

I can't seem to connect to a certain port from my public IP address but can on my local network. [18:05] vegan netstat should help ya [18:05] eyemean: and to be on the safe side we will install grub also on the second disk: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb [18:05] adamb: weird that it says unknown device, but this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors [18:05] has anyone else noticed the problems with popups?

[18:06] kikr: in firefox im assuming? [18:06] problem is the port I want to connect too is listening, but I can't connect to it. [18:06] MasterShrak, yeah [18:06] bertvdp: samba [18:06] kikr: i would install the adblock extension [18:06] MasterShrak, does mac work with samba too ?

[18:07] is there software to capture my linux desktop on video? [18:07] gemi: yes thats what card I have [18:07] MasterShrak: and running samba and AFP or NFS at the same time, how would that go ? [18:07] bertvdp: nvm, its looking like mac has a samba client built in [18:07] sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop [18:08] eyemean: last line should have been: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/hdb [18:08] i onyl see Screen 0, not a Screen 0 and 1, so its not detecting other monitor? this is in nvidia-settings [18:08] thank you arcad3 [18:08] Zvezdichko: recordmydesktop [18:08] np [18:08] bertvdp: i dont know what afp is, but i dont think running samba and nfs will cause problems [18:08] ok hep85 so i just do sudo grub-install now? [18:08] eyemean: yes only with hdb instead at the end [18:09] MasterShrak, AFP is apple file protocol (which has been reverse engineerd to work for linux) [18:09] adamb: is there a button that says "Detect Displays" ? [18:09] ok hep85 [18:09] ok so how do i start compiz-fusion in this fresh ubuntu install i got here. i tried compiz --replace ccp & but it didnt work [18:09] bertvdp: ic, well i would just run samba, itll eb able to talk to windows and mac, no need for nfs or afp [18:09] eyemean: after that grub should at least show up. maybe we still have the wrong partition order [18:09] now i have a toshiba satellite notebook with a intel graphic chip. sometimes, ubuntu freezes and I have to hard-reset my notebook. My question is: why is the intel graphic chip /gm965 / gl960 on the compiz blacklist? does intel not work on these drivers?

[18:12] pike_: fsck fixed a TON of problems on this filesystem. I don't know if my files are worth checking out, but I can mount it, at least. Thanks a lot, man. [18:12] oiZo: when you drag a directory from the main part into the left part of Nautilus (the file browser) it automatically gets added to the Places Menu [18:13] oiZo: also if you add things as a bookmark from nautilus, if i remember correctly (not a gnome user) [18:13] well can i remove e.g. the Connect to server menu?

I've done that before, but he also requested that I install armenian and russian fonts/dictionaries, etc, and I was wondering what kind of support there was for that, and if there were any guides on localization available [18:16] MasterShrak: the problem is that the cd sees the two disks, not the raid itself [18:16] kashogi: are you verifing users based on their local account?

[20:52] solar_george, i have icewm, but it'll replace the panels with it's own [20:52] i have this dam probem : E: Typ »ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/« ist unbekannt in Zeile 28 der Quellliste »/etc/apt/sources.list« [20:52] E: Die Liste der Paketquellen konnte nicht eingelesen werden. [20:52] Bitte rufen Sie »Einstellungen« / »Paketquellen« auf, um das Problem zu beheben. [20:52] visualdensity: np [20:52] hope u fix ur problem. [20:52] pmratpoison, instead of >, use 2> [20:53] I have a postfix/Courier-POP3 installed and running in a Local Network. Everything goes fine for now. But now, I want to use the usernames from an Active Directory Server as mailboxes [20:53] centrex thnx! [20:53] ........... [20:53] Stevethepirate: I hope so too. If not, I'll just reinstall [20:53] anyone know anything about MIT MAGIC COOKIES? [20:53] visualdensity: Sigh. [20:53] where do I set the text that shows at login? Not the MOTD, but the text shown before login [20:53] I had to :( [20:53] no [20:53] solar_george, oh, wait. icewm-lite.. apparently has no taskbar.. i can try that :) [20:53] Stevethepirate: sh*t happens. ;) thanks again. appreciate it [20:53] visualdensity: mp [20:53] *np [20:53] Any idea ? Anyone ? [20:54] im not hungry and dont wanna have a magic cookie [20:54] can anyone help me [20:54] o.O [20:54] sxealex_: can you give any context? [20:54] argh :B OpenPGP doesn't quite work as I'd like it to ;) [20:55] "pub" key seems to be private [20:55] i have a php scrip that runs an app [20:55] as sudo [20:55] i had it working fine yesterday [20:56] DISPLAY=:0 app [20:56] if the contents of a folder are just empty folders, it it considered empty? (i.e. will rmdir erase it?) [20:56] now it says MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 [20:56] pmratpoison: do not think so but never tried [20:56] invalid [20:56] guess trial & error time [20:56] openbox? - I'm just guessing here [20:57] pmratpoison: but rmdir has the -p option analog to the one for mkdir ;) [20:57] solar_george, no, icewm-lite is good [20:57] .Xauthority files dont seem to work and was hoping to diable them completely since it doesnt need to be a secure system [20:57] solar_george, i've switched from metacity to ice without prob, and ice to compiz without prob, now about to try compiz to metacity again [20:57] does that fix it then i.e. epiphany [20:57] pmratpoison: no, because each empty folder inside the top folder make it full. to erase a folder with any contents you need the -r flag (and the -f flag if the permissions are restrictive). [20:58] well, all I want to do is erase all the empty subfolders of a folder and those subfolders that have empty subfolders themselves [20:59] solar_george, hmm... switching to metacity this time didn't crash it [20:59] so unless I use find I can't do -r, as Vorbote suggested [20:59] pmratpoison: in principe rm -r would be enough. [20:59] erUSUL: no clue? [20:59] pmratpoison: use rm [20:59] yeah, but that would delete full folders as well [21:00] pmratpoison: rmdir only works on truly empty directories [21:00] <:( [21:00] sxealex_: no sorry [21:00] its ok [21:00] thanks [21:00] solar_george, maybe it's because i went from compiz, to metacity, to icewm, to compiz, to metacity, lol [21:00] * sxealex_ nods === max` is now known as max [21:00] pmratpoison: remeber that in UNIX and POSIX OSs (like Linux), everything is a file, even a directory inside a directory. [21:00] so how would you do that? delete all the empty subfolders and subfolders that only contain empty subfolders with a single command ? [21:01] hello [21:01] random things happen - things never make sense [21:01] hi [21:01] ubuntu [21:01] hi [21:02] Happy valentines day everyone. [21:02] solar_george, i seem to be having a lot of stability issues with epiphany though :/ [21:02] !hello | sanozuke [21:02] sanozuke: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:02] pmratpoison: rm -rf directory [21:02] So, I read somewhere that it is possible to have direct rendering with an ATI v.c. without using XGL.. how? [21:02] solar_george, oh, everything makes sense... it's just a matter of whether we understand it or not :P [21:02] is there a way to set the size of icons on the desktop? [21:02] How can I remove the Ubuntu logo and replace with the gnome footprint? [21:02] i got ubuntu [21:02] xthegoat121x, using the latest drivers [21:02] 5.10 [21:02] pmratpoison: rmdir could. but you have to start at a bottom folder with -p (it only deletes empty ones) [21:02] i got ubuntu 5.10 [21:02] they are kinda huge [21:02] sanozuke: Good for you. [21:02] i'm over here crying right now. [21:02] no [21:02] does anybody install oracle on ubuntu ? [21:03] sanozuke, you could use an upgrade [21:03] I don't use epiphany [21:03] !oracle | scjp_ [21:03] scjp_: If you -must- install oracle .... here's a good place to start: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html [21:03] sanozuke: If you can, you should upgrade to 6.06. [21:03] tears, just streaming down my cheeks [21:03] oracle [21:03] hi! can anybody help me with a strange login problem? sometimes i don't get any nautilus desktop, the system works fine... but to get the desktop working again I need to do a sudo init 1 and after sudo init 5 to get everything right... [21:03] i want xubuntu [21:03] sxealex_ not really, that would delete the full folders as well, I want to keep them [21:03] thank you Cpudan80 [21:03] sanozuke: do sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [21:03] scjp_: No idea if that actually works [21:03] bardyr, ok... well the question is, I'm using the Restricted Drivers, should I be using something different? B/C when I look at my list of running apps, I see XGL in the list, and boy does it eat memory. [21:03] i have a cd with ubuntu 5.10 [21:03] sanozuke, it's basically ubuntu with xcfe installed. you can do that yourself if you like [21:03] oh only empty ones? [21:04] sanozuke: Getting xubuntu is as easy as installing xubuntu-desktop, but since you're using an old version (that isn't supported anymore), you'll need to change to a working repository [21:04] ok [21:04] solar_george, it's become my main browser, over firefox even [21:04] pmratpoison: i think you need an sh script for that [21:04] sanozuke: If you haven't installed yet, you ought to download a new version. And you should obviously get a xubuntu CD [21:04] xthegoat121x, well i guess you need to wait to hardy is released or download the newest drivers from ati.com and install them manually [21:04] hope it sorts itself out then [21:04] solar_george, largely because it's fast and leightweight, and does several of the things i liked about firefox [21:04] I guess [21:04] solar_george, hrm, indeed [21:05] bardyr, all right. [21:05] okie it means in that in this channel 1218 peoples and no body use oracle that great [21:05] hi [21:05] i made a xubuntu cd [21:05] hii ! [21:05] tanath: Isn't firefox one of epiphany's dependencies? [21:05] using nothing but cardboard tubes and glue? [21:05] what is ephifany [21:06] Odd-rationale, i don't believe so. it uses the gecko engine, but i don't think it's dependant [21:06] sanozuke, a web browser [21:06] sanozuke, designed for gnome [21:06] !epiphany [21:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about epiphany - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:06] i tought it was a literal figure [21:06] !epiphany-browser [21:07] tanath: Last time I tried installing epiphany from a CLI system, it wanted to install ff along with it. Do you have ff installed rioght now? [21:07] Odd-rationale, i do... [21:07] Odd-rationale, i still use it once in a while. lemme check the dependencies [21:07] tanath: OK That makes sense. [21:08] does anyone know how to make a boot cd in xp to erase ubuntu and install xubuntu from a cd [21:08] sanozuke: You just need to download/burn a xubuntu CD [21:08] !burb | sanozuke [21:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about burb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:08] !burn | sanozuke [21:08] sanozuke: Download the xubuntu iso from xubuntu.org. burn it to a cd and boot and then install. [21:08] sanozuke: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [21:08] Odd-rationale, you're right.. it does depend on firefox [21:08] is there a way to change the size of icons on my desktop? its like i can fit six ina vertical line and ive filled up that column [21:08] sanozuke, boot into ubuntu, download the iso, right click on it and click burn to cd [21:09] sanozuke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install has instructions (the four at the top) just make sure you get a xubuntu iso [21:09] alright, so, i'm having an installation issue with ubuntu [21:09] yes [21:09] tanath: I think that is rather odd. [21:09] i would prefer about 1/8 the size of icons if i can have it [21:09] I'm sorry. sanozuke: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [21:09] sanozuke: http://www.xubuntu.org/get [21:09] Odd-rationale, indeed... [21:09] but ubuntu doens't desapear [21:09] mark4, yes, right click on them, and hit Stretch Icon, can make it bigger or smaller [21:10] the ubuntu epiphany uses the ff gui engine (XUL) as well as geko [21:10] i used to click on desktop and all my sticky notes in gnome used to hide. Now, the dont and i have to rigth click on 'sticky notes icon' and then click on 'hide notes' .. any idea of how to put this back ? [21:10] tanath: For a light-weight gtk+ web browser, I'd go with kazehakase. [21:10] sanozuke: Once you install xubuntu overtop of ubuntu, Ubuntu will disappear (of course, Xubuntu is still Ubuntu, but thats not what you mean) [21:10] ! boot cd [21:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about boot cd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:10] erm right click on theme where? [21:10] can anyone tell me why ubuntu would hang during installation (using a live cd), when my system has 2 gb of ram? [21:10] who's in charge of the backports? [21:10] mark4, no, right click on the icons you want to resize and you can hit stretch icon i will check for desktop settings in a sec [21:11] tanath: Doesn't seem to make sense to me to make a broswer simply depend on another web browser... [21:11] pmra [21:11] Hey guys. I downloaded the Firefox3 beta 3, extreacted it, and tried to create a symbolic link to it in /usr/local/bin . However, when trying to run /usr/loca/bin/firefox, I get '-bash: /usr/local/bin/firefox: No such file or directory [21:11] duncanm: the backports team. #ubuntu-backports [21:11] oops [21:11] If Direct Rendering is not enabled after install... should I try enabling it somehow?... or does it just mean that there are no appropriate drivers for my system? [21:11] Odd-rationale, japanese, eh? explains the name [21:11] Ender: might try alternate install cd or could be an issue with cdrom [21:11] err no. how do i set the DEFAULT. i dont want to have to go thru every single icon every time i put it on my desk and MAYBE get them all the same size [21:11] i checked it for errors, came up clean [21:11] Odd-rationale, yeah. i guess they're only so far in development? [21:11] Che-Anarc: what does lspci | grep -i vga return? [21:11] ran a memtest [21:11] commands [21:11] fi [21:12] yea thats just modifying ONE icon. how do i set the default for ALL icons [21:12] mark4, i'm lookin, but generally speakin, none of my icons are the same size lol [21:12] everything shows up green, but it sticks on 15% === whaley_ is now known as whaley [21:12] tanath: I guess so... [21:12] also, the virtual size of the icon did not change so all i did was shrink its size and i STILL have room for only 6 icons per column [21:12] if ubuntu built against XULrunner instead of XUL that wouldn't be the case any more [21:13] solar_george, sounds good. perhaps they ought to do that then [21:13] mjw- VGA Comptable controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC rev 4 [21:13] Odd-rationale, does kazawhatitsface support quicksearch bookmarks? [21:13] do you think it would be an issue that i'm trying to install to a usb external hard drive? [21:14] erm keep aligned keeps them aligned to the same column but actually i can misallign icons on a horizontal [21:14] Odd-rationale, and any sort of adblock extension? [21:14] hi! can anybody help me with a strange login problem? sometimes i don't get any nautilus desktop, the system works fine... but to get the desktop working again I need to do a sudo init 1 and after sudo init 5 to get everything right.. I think it depends on the network manager applet, but not sure :-((( [21:14] it has lead to epiphany calling itself ff as well [21:14] tanath: Don't know. Sorry. Try it. You can always apt-get remove. [21:14] oi [21:14] Che-Anarc use a pastebin to paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf so I can see it [21:15] Odd-rationale, oooh, awesome. it goes one better [21:15] tanath: No adblock plugin. Fortunately, there are other ways to do it. [21:15] Odd-rationale, support for regex. also has mouse gestures :) [21:15] Odd-rationale, such as? [21:15] Odd-rationale, i don't want to filter through privoxy again... :/ [21:15] tanath: Privoxy or custom /etc/hosts file. [21:15] i have a problem with my hard-drive, and i'm afraid i've lost all the contents... :'( this is what dmesg says: http://rafb.net/p/oT0Bq888.html [21:16] is there any way to see why nautilus sometimes does not start and sometimes it does after login??? [21:16] tanath: I personally use the latter. [21:16] Odd-rationale, oh, the hosts file is a definite no no, lol [21:16] is there any software that can help me? [21:16] Odd-rationale, waste of memory, and not customizable enough === Xjs-Itisme is now known as Xjs [21:16] Odd-rationale, i'd rather use privoxy [21:17] Odd-rationale, thanks for the recommends though [21:17] tanath: np. In linux, you always have a choice. :) [21:17] i always can't enter to irc.dal.net why/ [21:17] hi ! [21:17] i have a questios [21:18] question [21:18] my messenger is a bit confuse [21:18] and if you break it you get to keep both pieces [21:18] solar_george, lol === max955 is now known as max [21:18] i use pidgin internet messenger [21:18] solar_george: Been there, done that. [21:18] hi, is there anybody who can help me with nautilus desktop not working properly??? [21:19] I need help because after i installed the drivers for my wi-fi the speed dropped to 200kb.s... i need a new driver [21:19] Odd-rationale, kazahakase seems pretty basic so far [21:19] i use xchat [21:20] Odd-rationale, oh, ho.. just tried 'expert gui' [21:20] does anyone here know how to automatically set a value in a file on startup? I tried adding echo 1 > /location/file in rc.local, but it doesn't seem to set it correctly. I know it would need root, but rc.local should have that right? [21:20] tanath: It starts almost 2x faster than ff [21:20] mjw- http://pastebin.ca/904318 its a bit messy in some parts since I am trying to get my touchscreen up and running === arashOio|away is now known as arashOio [21:20] hi desti [21:21] Odd-rationale, seemed about the same as epiphany for me [21:21] dalnew: what about putting a shell script in the rc.3 folder that has the command you want? [21:21] tanath: kazehakase at least doesn't require ff. So I like to use it for minimum systems. [21:22] Che-Anarc but glxinfo | grep -i direct returns no? [21:22] mark4, still there? [21:22] catarinajob: please just ask your question [21:22] anyone know how to make vnc start before/at the login screen [21:22] so i can use it to login [21:22] i have no monitor connected [21:23] mjw- Yes returns "No" :-( [21:23] list [21:23] Che-Anarc is this a somewhat old system? [21:23] quaalx: do you care if you log into the console or not? [21:23] Gm4n, i use ssh to work on the server also, so no [21:23] then just ssh in, vnc4server [21:23] then connect up [21:23] mjw- Yeah a little Toghbook P3 866 Laptop. [21:23] hmm [21:23] ok will try [21:23] thanks [21:23] quaalx: Its possible -- the instructions are ehh hang on [21:24] hi! where can I check for error messages after login? [21:24] * Gm4n recommends using ssh tunnels to encrypt your connection [21:24] hi guys [21:24] quaalx: http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/ [21:24] Odd-rationale, hmm.... good thing i tend to play around in the prefs/options before i use an app... i just learned they set the mouse gestures a little differently from standard. standard gestures for previous/next tab are set to close previous/next tabs! [21:24] Probaby cant support DRI? [21:24] quaalx: gdm is now at /etc/gdm -- other than that the instructions are accurate [21:24] i just ran th einstaller for forstwire.....but now when i try to run it it does nothing and theres no icon for th eprogram either......can anyone hlep me out? [21:24] hello again, could use a hand [21:24] Odd-rationale, close all prev/next, that is [21:24] Cpudan80, cool thanks [21:25] been told to do this: "Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manager" [21:25] this is xbunutu [21:25] not sure what im doing [21:25] oh rather cant find applications:p [21:25] mark4, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75044.html < should be useful [21:25] tanath: Have fun! [21:25] ooblez: what are you trying to do? [21:25] Odd-rationale, and up is close tab, instead of new tab... weird [21:25] Odd-rationale, heh, thanks [21:25] gaten: I suppose that will work, but why wouldn't the rc.local work? [21:26] tanath: pn [21:26] *np [21:26] dalnew: my rc.local calls /bin/sh, if you use a bashism, you'll need to change that to /bin/bash [21:27] hi ... i am new to ubuntu and am remotely supporting someone trying to get a PC online ... they have installed a new NIC and the LEDs are on indicating that the kernel loaded the appropriate driver ... I would expect to be able to dhclient at this point, but it isn't working .. do i need to use a tool to configure the new NIC? if so, where can i find the GUI? [21:27] Che-Anarc http://pastebin.ca/904323 ....you may need to load some modules, see my modules section [21:27] Che-Anarc but ignore the rest...especially my device section ;) [21:28] jjg_: ifconfig will give you information about your network config, also take a look at /etc/network/interfaces [21:28] jappdev : we aren't seeing eth0 in ifconfig [21:28] I lost the ability to play any type of video, flash wmv, mpg... I removed and reinstalled firefox and flash originally thinking it was only flash videos, butit seems to be all video. Reinstalled nvidia deivers and restricted extras.. any suggestions [21:28] jjg_: is nm-applet running? [21:29] jappdev: ahh that may be it... mine is still #!/bin/sh -e [21:29] Odd-rationale, looks pretty good. has potential, but they need the ability to whitelist cookies (and maybe js too) [21:29] danbhfive : not sure, how to tell?... ps aux | grep nm-applet ? [21:30] tanath: Yeah, it is still fairly new. [21:30] does anyone know where to get a script that disables compiz when running a game [21:30] Cew27, you could switch to metacity first [21:30] jappdev: actually I added #!/bin/bash already immediately before i did the echo 1 > blah [21:30] Cew27: you can disable it by hand [21:30] jjg_: yeah, seems like that would work. nm-applet puts an icon for a gui configuration of your network connection [21:30] do i still need to remove the #!/bin/sh -e from the top of rc.local [21:31] Cew27, make a shortcut that runs 'metacity --replace' and another that runs 'compiz --replace' to switch back and forth [21:31] will the i386 ubuntu work with amd64 processors? [21:31] prince_jammys: i know but i heard of a script that does it when i open any game [21:31] preaction: yes [21:31] erUSUL, thanks [21:31] Cew27: Isaw one in this channel earlier today wine"something" you might try in #winehq [21:31] danbhfive : i have a newbie at the keys and he says there is a '?' for it [21:31] Cew27: how does the script know you're opening a game? [21:31] Che-Anarc you are using the right driver though at least. [21:31] Gm4n, since you seem to know a bit about this.. is there a way to open a terminal from the server to the client (through ssh) and have the app remain open even if you close the window on the client side? [21:31] Veeger1: i know a person showed me but i cant find it [21:31] jjg_: is this ubuntu? [21:31] jjg_ you can use sudo lshw so see what hardware the kernel recognizes, the leds will light up even if the driver hasn't loaded [21:31] prince_jammys: its beyond me [21:31] quaalx: use gnu screen [21:31] an app for example, irssi [21:32] Whats the last version of Compiz Fusion ? [21:32] gnu screen.. [21:32] Cew27: anyway, I don't know about that script but check what tanath said [21:32] quaalx, screen is best, or nohup if you don't care about ever being able to see that program again [21:32] jappdev : uh oh, ok .. is there a way to use lsmod and detect what driver should be loaded? [21:32] preaction, screen needs to be installed on server or client or both? [21:32] danbhfive : yes, ubuntu [21:32] quaalx, just the server [21:32] ok [21:32] yeah, as long as you don't run epiphany, you should be fine... lol [21:33] tanath: i am switching manualy at the moment but it is abit annoying [21:33] quaalx, you log in, type "screen", and then do what you need to. find a tutorial for screen it's quite powerful and takes a little getting used to [21:33] Cew27, yeah, that's why i made the shortcuts :) [21:33] tanath: you mean for her to make two bash one-liner scripts and have them on her desktop? [21:33] HI everybody. Can anybody help me with a particular dovecot/sieve issue? [21:33] moin [21:33] preaction, hmm [21:33] Cew27, i have the blackbox icon for compiz, since i couldn't find the official ones, lol [21:33] was ist denn der knetworkmanager unter gnome? [21:33] i guess its already installed on ubuntu [21:33] Whats the last version of Compiz Fusion ? [21:33] prince_jammys, no, just a regular shortcut [21:33] quaalx, I'm a little confused about your question [21:34] prince_jammys, right click on the desktop kinda shortcut [21:34] tanath: what does the blackbox icon have to do with anything lol [21:34] you want to have the ssh tunnel open from server to client? [21:34] tanath: how? [21:34] quaalx, the two things to remember are Ctrl+A, ". and ctrl+a, d. the first one lists the different screens you have, and the second one "detaches" you from the screen. then you can run "screen -R" to reattach yourself after you log-in again [21:34] Cew27, 'cause it looks like a black cube, so makes me think of compiz :P [21:34] Gm4n, right, and have the ability to close the program that is open in the terminal, and it still remain open. a program like irssi for example. [21:34] tanath: shortcut to what? [21:34] Hello. I have a WDC 500GB external disk, -ubuntu 7.10. When I don't use my WDC for a time then it goes to "power-saving-mode" and unmount itself. Can I fix this?

[21:37] Cew27, might be easier with shortcuts though if someone else wants to use your computer [21:37] is there a way to restore my ubuntu os or to reinstall it easily? [21:38] Cyanide1: you're trying to listen .mp3-music right? [21:38] yeah [21:38] Odd-rationale, the basic ones are easy, and come in handy. left for back, right for forward, etc [21:38] Veeger1: I would be so happy if you did, I have now installed new alsa driver 1.0.16 [21:38] feysalus: Maybe drop some fonts into /usr/share/fonts/wine [21:38] tanath: no one else will ;) [21:38] h-town: The gnome settings are easy, other stuff not so much, sort of depends on what all has happened [21:38] ah ok [21:38] Cew27, uh, sorry? having trouble parsing your grammar, lol [21:38] yes Webu i am [21:39] Cew27, oh, just missing a . i think [21:39] dZen|n|: HAd an issue with that earlier as well, I had them go back to 15... [21:39] wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2 [21:39] Cyanide1: that's a restricted format, you'll need to install support for them :) Check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-6c1adf157cf1aaf47a391922036b3ecc98f01796 [21:39] well i was following a guide for the top 13 things to do after installing ubuntu and I was at the first section for adding repositories and I entered some code in the terminal and it didn't work.. but then I noticed that the guide was for the last version of ubuntu [21:39] Cew27, it's "#!/bin/sh" [21:39] genii, there is no wine directory, there is truetype, type1, and X11 [21:39] and now when I try to use synaptic i get this: E: Type ' E: The list of sources could not be read. [21:39] Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. [21:39] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [21:39] ok thanks [21:39] Cew27: a script to replace compiz? [21:40] h-town: system admin system-sources [21:40] oh yes! [21:40] do you mean software sources? [21:40] Cew27, using a script seems needlessly indirect though [21:40] Cew27: Have you heard of compiz easy switch? [21:40] genii, I copied the fonts from the mstcorefonts directory to the wine c:\windows\fonts directory [21:41] tanath: a script is super direct [21:41] Cew27, a shortcut would run it directly [21:41] Odd-rationale: no ? [21:41] tanath: also i am now missing window borders :( [21:41] prince_jammys, the way he's doing it, is making a script to execute it. then binding a keyboard shortcut to run the script... [21:41] !enablesources | h-town [21:41] h-town: Enable the standard Ubuntu repositories by going to System > Administration > Software Sources - See !repositories for detailed information [21:41] Cew27: I think it is what you're looking for. Let me get link [21:41] tanath: ok indirect [21:41] Cew27, your window manager isn't running [21:41] Cyanide1: no problem, after that .mp3 and other restricted formats should play with all related programs :) [21:41] Anybody here with dovecot experience at all? [21:42] Veeger1: ok now it have opened in ark [21:42] tanath: how do i fix it [21:42] it all looks enabled all ready [21:42] Cew27, alt+f2 should still work if you're running gnome.. then run in there 'compiz --replace' (or metacity, depending on which you want) [21:42] Veeger1: should I do ./configue ; make ; make install ? [21:42] what is !repositories? [21:43] !repositories [21:43] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [21:43] cew27 tanath if you want to be cute you can even make an alias [21:43] dZen|n|: Yes, that's how you compile something from the source [21:43] starting a line with ! makes it a message to the bot (ubotu) [21:43] dZen|n|: before you do.. would you do lspci for me [21:43] Cew27: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662926 [21:43] will that fix synaptic? [21:43] oh, Cew27 is gone. :( [21:44] prince_jammys, heh, i have enough of those already [21:44] ohh [21:44] well that was hard [21:44] Cew27: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662926 [21:44] h-town, what's wrong with it?

[21:51] Cpudan80, press "auto adjust" button on monitor [21:52] I really think it's an ubuntu problem though [21:52] ok, i found out that i have a 3com 3c90x NIC ... can i use apt-get to get the nic or do i need to download it and build it? [21:52] Why does it allow me to drag windows way off to the right? [21:52] The left side is ok [21:52] that is to say .. can i use apt-get to get the kernel module?

[22:12] ffm look at man radeon to see what the radeon driver supports [22:12] billenium: for no partitions, use "wubi" [22:12] okay thanks [22:12] billenium: Or lubi [22:13] bazhang, hey dude ;~) [22:13] well if im using linux shouldn't i use lubi? [22:13] Veeger1: done [22:13] Bodsda, no. you will need to save the session for that to work. ctrl-alt-backspace is not meant to be used as a logout function. [22:13] bodsda, long time no see...what has it been? a few days? :) [22:13] billenium: Correct. But partitioning is the better option... [22:13] what can I do about this: The following packages have been kept back: linux-generic [22:13] Jowi, but kubuntu can do it by default, without saving session [22:13] Well i dont see a point since i only want 1 OS, right? [22:14] right bill :) [22:14] speeddemon8803, hey dude,. yer sorry,.,. been learning to programme,.,.lol === Martinp24 is now known as Martinp23 [22:14] billenium: do you want to wipe out your windows install? [22:14] heh, yeah i need to learn that myself bodsda. [22:14] Bodsda, if that is right, then kubuntu has disabled Xorg ctrl-alt-backspace and set up the key combination to save the session and log out instead. [22:14] anyone with suggestions on how to get an ATI Radeon driver working? [22:14] ffm: im not using windows :P [22:14] im using ubuntu [22:14] speeddemon8803, im starting with python,,.,.got me a hefty manual !! ;~) [22:14] !ati | asathoor [22:14] asathoor: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:14] and yes i want to wipe it out and install ubuntu (Again) [22:15] can you install Gutsy Gibbon on ubuntu 6.06 [22:15] billenium: then use the unetbootin [22:15] thanx [22:15] Asathoor what's the output of lspci | grep -i vga [22:15] Cyanide1: yes, but you have to upgrade first. [22:15] Jowi, ok,.,.how about rememberin my open things if i log out properly ?? [22:15] Cyanide1: to 6.10 [22:15] !alternative | cyanidel [22:15] unetbootin totally wipes out the whole thing? then without partitioning installs ubuntu? [22:15] cyanidel: 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 [22:15] billenium: it wipes everything out if you want it to. [22:15] Cyanide1, not recommended. either you upgrade to the inbetween versions first or wait until next LTS is released [22:15] billenium: and partitons itself. [22:15] !lts | Cyanide1 [22:15] Cyanide1: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [22:16] well i dont want any partitions! lol... just ubuntu... no windows... no nothing [22:16] billenium: Partion first, then delete your current install's partition. [22:16] cyanidels getting good usage out of ubotu ;) [22:16] dZen|n|: Did you get any sound.. the mixer controls are muted after installing those drivers.. double check [22:16] Cyanide1, you can upgrade from one LTS version to another LTS. [22:16] * billenium is confused [22:16] billenium: that's not a good idea. [22:16] billenium: ubuntu needs at least 2 partitions [22:16] ok how [22:16] billenium: the default linux install is 2 partitions [22:16] !upgrade | Cyanide1 [22:16] Cyanide1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:16] !upgrade | Cyanide1 [22:16] and will i lose a data when i do [22:16] ? [22:16] billenium: one for swap, and one for home [22:16] all* [22:16] billenium, so just click install and do it - you need two partitions and it will do it automagically if you want [22:16] Cyanide1: no. [22:16] Veeger1: I can se that I still use 1.0.16 [22:16] !upgrade [22:16] Jowi, any thoughts? [22:16] meh whatever... [22:17] im just going to use unetbootin [22:17] its not like this computer is expensive [22:17] billenium: you a partitionfobe?

[23:22] Photocopy: no sound? [23:22] Photocopy: or sound from the wrong card? [23:22] apples: i imagine its talking about /etc/passwd [23:22] prince_jammys: Yep.

[23:23] giantmidget, the vga setting wasnt there. i added it, according to a thread on the forums [23:23] ph0rensic, it was internet lag, and my mouse is only 600dpi man [23:23] highvolt, i understand what you say, but vga has not worked for me either in gutsy [23:23] Photocopy: lspci <-- in command line, and see if the sound card is there [23:24] Bodsda: No thing after that [23:24] how can i monitor the commands on the level of os [23:24] giantmidget, have you managed to get it to work? [23:24] c01100011: Dont be butt-hurt [23:24] prince_jammys: its there [23:24] Bodsda: Should I test it now?

[23:25] Bodsda: I said I had done that earlier... and thanks [23:25] jappdev i cant gte into the thing to have a look [23:25] Photocopy: check what Bodsda says, and if you can't get it then try disabling your onboard sound card from the BIOS --- do you know how to do that [23:25] joshjacklin: myth tv is awesome [23:25] it just stops at that [23:25] giantmidget, yeah. im sort of determined to get this to work. i wish it was more straightforward [23:25] c01100011: compiz [23:25] XD thn x astro76 my friend couldnt think of the name of it [23:25] lol [23:25] pike_: i have ubuntu tho [23:25] nickrud, not that behind.

[23:28] Cyanide1: yes. you should say nickrud, it chimes here. Just happened to pass thru as you pressed enter [23:28] blueg: apt-get update should install the patch, if you roll your own, 2.6.24.2 has the fix [23:28] fuck yes on disk space, port: 42845, nope on firestarter [23:28] mehmet: language...
