[00:00] hi to all [00:00] Hi, Is there a motherboard with drivers which natively support Ubuntu? Normally with Windows I get a CD with the motherboard drivers for audio and video, but with Ubuntu I can't. Wouldn't it be great if there was a motherboard with native support for Ubuntu? [00:00] I'm mostly concerned about getting Ubuntu to be able to "see" my other hard drives... [00:00] <_Oz_> Aenoris: type join #windows [00:00] K, I'll move there [00:00] <_Oz_> Aeonoris: yeah, they might be corrupted [00:00] alzamabar, for most motherboards - i dont even have to worry about any drivers under linux.. the onboard sound/video - can be issues.. but normally not the MB itself. [00:00] <_Oz_> by the sound of it [00:00] Aeonoris: My experiences if you do hibernate is that it causes problems between the two (files not saving when you switch back to Windows, not seeing the partitions at all, etc), so I didn't know if it was similar. Doesn't sound like it is. [00:00] while i was installing ubuntu, the grub step gave me an error, how i can fix it ? [00:00] <_Oz_> nameless: describe the error, please. [00:01] <_Oz_> Twintop makes a good point, Aenoris. Make sure your XP computer doesn't hibernate. [00:01] hello? [00:01] alzamabar, thers the new motnerboards comming out with a mini-linux install built into the bios. :) you can fast boot to a mini-linux os and do things. Those would be the nifty ones to get for a linux box. [00:01] grub write failure === ScT-808y is now known as bobby [00:01] Dr_willis I'm referring to things like audio and video. I've got an Nvidia, and I'm afraid to say that the NVidia driver freezes on 7.10 GG. [00:02] i'm building a program from source, it's looking for md5.h Any ideas where i'd find that? [00:02] Aeonoris, what error messages are you getting when trying to boot ubuntu? [00:02] <_Oz_> Leads me to a question of my own: what's the best place online to buy linux-ready (ideally, dual-boot for Win XP) laptops online [00:02] #debian [00:02] <_Oz_> ? [00:02] what better, compiz with Xgl or with Xorg server?.....anybody? [00:02] yellowSubMar, have you tried the "nodeadkeys" option for they keyboard? [00:02] I installed fluxbox on ubuntu but I can't right click on my desktop for some weird reason. any ideas? [00:02] What's that? [00:02] <_Oz_> alazmabar: have you installed the restricted driver manager? [00:02] alzamabar, all bets are off with video/audo onboard.. the mb makers could toss about anything on there. :) i perfer to get mbs that dont have tose onboard. [00:02] Dr_willis, same for audio. If I plugin speakers, the sound quality is not very good [00:02] Geoffrey2, have you tried searching the synaptic package manager? [00:02] yellowSubMar, it makes keyboard work properly [00:02] !md5 [00:02] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:02] Hi everybody, anyone knows how i can access my linux partition from windows vista? [00:02] !md5.h [00:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about md5.h - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:03] Geoffrey2: libgcrypt11-dev [00:03] <_Oz_> morph3us: there is no way to do it. [00:03] Niouser: Nothing, boots fine, just that HD issue. I tried reinstalling, but that didn't help. [00:03] alzamabar, its all about the chipset the mb maker is using for the audio/video. Some work good.. some dont work at all. [00:03] Err, Biouser [00:03] Morph3us, I don't thnik that you can [00:03] Geoffrey2: install libgcrypt11-dev [00:03] <_Oz_> Very annyoing, isn't it! Linux is great about accessing NTFS partitions but Windoze won't even acknowledge your linux stuff. [00:03] Dr_willis, I do agree. So could I buy an audio card supported by Ubuntu? Anyone you could suggest? [00:03] Aeonoris: what Ubuntu release are you using? [00:03] I don't know where to find the option, Lumooja. [00:03] _Oz_: i've checked the cd for errors [00:03] no one [00:03] _Oz_, yes, i already do that before [00:04] Twintop: 7.10, I think that's Gutsy Gibbon? [00:04] alzamabar, check the ALSA list, most should be well supported [00:04] alzamabar, creative has some nice ones in the $40 or less range. But ive not used any of their newre cards.. I got an old audigy2zs that ive had for 4 pc's now. [00:04] yellowSubMar, if i remember correctly, it was under system settings -> regional settings [00:04] <_Oz_> Aenoris: I guess the only real way to do it would be to use something like vmware or virtualbox for windows and run a little mini linux session in there [00:04] biouser, ALSA list? [00:04] alzamabar, you might have to do some building of the ALSA source if you use a more exotic one [00:04] Aeonoris: You're right. That means the NTFS drivers should be in the Kernel. Do you have any sort of encryption on your NTFS drives? [00:04] will the ati 8.2 proprietary drivers let me use big desktop with two different monitor resolutions? [00:04] alzamabar, the new creative x-fi have limited linux support at this time. [00:05] <_Oz_> yeah, if you get into linux/ubuntu you basically want to start avoiding motherboards with integrated video and/or audio [00:05] alzamabar, search ALSA in google [00:05] <_Oz_> I run an SBLive! card in my Asus mobo even though it has integrated sound [00:05] _Oz_: That's the only way to see those drives? Bleh. [00:05] <_Oz_> Aenoris: even then, that might not work. [00:05] Twintop: Not that I know of. [00:05] <_Oz_> Aeonoris: but that's only windows TO ubuntu. [00:05] <_Oz_> The other way around should work out of the box (ubuntu TO windows). [00:05] There is no system settings menu in 7.10. [00:05] biouser, looking... [00:05] while i was installing ubuntu, the grub step gave me a grub write failure, how i can fix it ? [00:06] yellowSubMar, there is under kubuntu... [00:06] onboard video is handy at times. :) in case you have to build up a low end box. or use an old mb later as a test box. [00:06] <_Oz_> nameless: hit esc when grub loads and load your default gnome desktop [00:06] <_Oz_> nameless: then, edit grub/conf [00:06] <_Oz_> find out what it's choking on [00:06] Do you know where I could find it using [00:06] Aeonoris: Are all of these partitions on one hard drive or two? You might try running fdisk on the drive to see if you can see them. I had a similar issue with an external hard drive that got formatted NTFS and had to repair the partition table to use it on Linux. [00:06] yellowSubMar, just look for the regional settings menu somewhere [00:06] Do you know where I could find it using gNOME, Lumooja? [00:07] _Oz_: i've downloaded the daily build alternate iso [00:07] yellowSubMar, i just installed opensuse, but it sucks, so i have to reinstall ubuntu now... :P [00:07] getting older isn't nearly as fun at 41 as it was at 16. [00:07] <_Oz_> nameless: follow the steps I described first [00:07] what better, compiz with Xgl or with Xorg server?.....anybody? [00:07] Hey guys. I am looking for a hard drive recovery util for linux. [00:07] <_Oz_> see if you can get past the grub error by hitting esc when grub loads [00:07] hat' [00:07] <_Oz_> choose "recovery mode" [00:07] hat's not fun, Lumooja. [00:07] <_Oz_> nano: they're essentially identical [00:08] yellowSubMar, what's not fun? [00:08] markgreene, i'd go with sysrescd [00:08] <_Oz_> lumooja: I think he means, having to reinstall is not fun. [00:08] Twintop: Three hard drives. How would I run fdisk on a drive? [00:08] larson9999: anything thats not a cd [00:08] _Oz_: i was referring to what would produce better effects, xgl or xserver with aixgl....which option should i select? [00:08] <_Oz_> Wait a sec, Aenoris -- can you describe exactly how many physical drives you have, and how they're partitioned? [00:09] _oz_, oh reinstalling is easy and fast, you have to do that anyway every week when using xp [00:09] <_Oz_> nano: it'd look pretty much the same either way in my opinion [00:09] nano__ x and aiglx is the way to go [00:09] <_Oz_> lumooja: heheheheh [00:09] markgreene, you can install those tools on a hd. [00:09] nucco: how come? isn't xgl suppose to be the next best thing? [00:09] anyone able to get Ossv4 XFI drivers to work with Flash? I followed the howto on ubuntu forums...compiling the libflashsupport driver, and creating symlinks, but I've had no luck...audio works with other applications though [00:09] nano__ because xgl appears not to be actively under development [00:10] nucco: can i install aixgl via synaptics? [00:10] Aeonoris: The hard drives will probably be under /dev as /dev/sda /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc if you're in 7.10. The command is simply "fdisk ", ie "fdisk /dev/sda". Then you can use the commands inside of fdisk to at least look at what partitions are (and their sizes, filesystem type, etc) and figure out which one is which. [00:10] nano__ you don't need to do anything special. it comes by default. it only works depending on your hardward [00:10] hardware* [00:10] Aeonoris: Be careful though, fdisk canbe used to format your disk. Don't write anything to the partition table unless you're certain [00:10] * _Oz_ nods sagely. "What Twintop said," he says. [00:11] nucco: do i need to put in a switch in my xorg.conf file ? [00:11] larson9999: where do I get the list? I just see the download for the cd [00:11] I have three physical hard drives, I believe theres an old windows installation on one along with possibly an old ubuntu partition on it (I get sorta confused with partitioning), a HD with just ubuntu, and a HD with just XP [00:11] nucco: how can i check to see if my aixgl is running? [00:11] nano__: what is your display card? [00:11] nvidia 6150 [00:11] Aeonoris: try sudo fdisk -l [00:11] _Oz_: i've hit recovery mode, now i've chrooted the partition [00:11] i have nvidia glx running [00:11] nano__: check system > preferences > appearance [00:12] nano__: and see the desktop effects section. [00:12] <_Oz_> so, four HDs, two oldish HDs with possibly a couple of partitions but no big deal for the data there, and then a physical disk with only Ubuntu (important data) and another physical disk with only Windoze (also important data.) Correct? [00:12] <_Oz_> nameless: what have you found? [00:12] I'm having trouble with fglrx on an nforce3 mobo with a radeon X850 [00:12] markgreene, here is the website: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [00:12] does anyone know of a way to disable the "require an active connection" checkbox in the VPN settings in Network Manager? I can't connect to a VPN while on the Sprint PCS g3 network because NM doesn't recognize my ppp0 connection as an active internet connection. [00:12] nucco: i don't see any desktop effects option..... [00:12] Dumb question. How do I come back to the desktop after ctrl-alt-f1? [00:12] _Oz_: the whole ubuntu without grub [00:12] nano__: use system > administration > restricted manager to install the proprietary drivers [00:13] <_Oz_> nameless: it's not showing the windows partition at all? [00:13] oshi: Ctrl-Alt-F7 [00:13] will ubuntu support ppc in future? [00:13] usr13: thanks [00:13] <_Oz_> Lumooja: doubtful [00:13] Lumooja: not likely. that support was actually dropped [00:13] Lumooja: no.. [00:13] i don't have got a windows partition oO [00:13] <_Oz_> PPC is sort of dying off [00:13] nucco, why is that, then i have use some sucky AIX6_ [00:13] im trying to configure my tv out, when i run Xorg -configure i get [00:13] Lumooja: if you need PPC support, use Debian. [00:13] LoadModule: Module ztv does not have a ztvModuleData data object. [00:13] <_Oz_> nameless: ok, my mistake. So your problem is ONLY the grub error? [00:13] yes [00:13] any idea what that module is?? [00:13] nucco: im running fiesty fawn and the latest nvidia drivers i could get via restricted drivers were almost 1.5 yrs old; instead i disabled restricted drivers and downloaded newest nvidia drivers and installed them [00:13] Lumooja: everyone uses x86 on the desktop these days :)) [00:14] they are running find [00:14] at boot, Grub, error 15 [00:14] it says "Unable to open /dev/hdb1/" when I try to fdisk it in the terminal [00:14] *fine [00:14] nucco, i realized that, but i want also servers to use ubuntu [00:14] Lumooja: there is an ubuntu for PPC still, but its a community project, not officially supported by Canonical. [00:14] <_Oz_> nameless: okay, launch a terminal and type "locate grub" [00:14] nano__: desktop effects wasn't a strong point of feisty :) [00:14] <_Oz_> I'm not at a ubuntu machine right now so I can't remember the exact directory it's in [00:14] hi anyone can help me? and if can speak spanish then better :D [00:14] Lumooja: oh, so there are ppc servers out there? ;) [00:14] nucco : i agree, so what do u think i should do next in order to see if aiglx is working? [00:15] !es [00:15] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [00:15] do sony ericssons work well with ubuntu? I'm thinking of getting a p990i [00:15] nucco, yes ibm system p servers for example [00:15] _Oz_: cannot open mlocate.db etc etc.. [00:15] oki [00:15] <_Oz_> Captain Jack Sparrow! [00:15] nano__: not sure. I would recommend you upgrade if it is not too much trouble [00:15] no it wasn't, much better in gutsy [00:15] <_Oz_> nameless: really? That's strange. [00:15] Hey Oz [00:15] <_Oz_> you typed "locate grub" and got that message? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [00:15] <_Oz_> Hi Jack [00:15] _Oz_: it's in /boot/grub [00:15] nucco: thnx [00:15] I am trying to install ubuntu onto an external hard dirve, however I cannot format it. (its a Western Digital Passport) [00:15] <_Oz_> nameless: that's what I though [00:15] Aeonoris: Don't include the number on the end. That's referring to a specific partition. [00:15] <_Oz_> chdir to that dir and ls -al [00:15] Lumooja: well, there's debian :) [00:16] <_Oz_> you see a conf file in there? [00:16] Lumooja: also, there's an unofficial PPC verison of Ubuntu, not sure how good it is, as its community driven... [00:16] uhm wait [00:16] no [00:16] hi, i have a PC with nvidia 8800 and can't install ubuntu in this PC, i have ubuntu in my notebook and is a great OS, want to intall here too [00:17] anyone can help me? [00:17] does gnome have a windows edition [00:17] icesword: nice one :) [00:17] icesword: gnome is a desktop for *nix systems... [00:17] icesword: Please clarify that question [00:17] _Oz_: No, three HDs, one oldish one with two partitions, nothing much important there but that's the only one I can "see" and it has ubuntu I'm running on it, another with some vaguely important stuff, but I think I wiped it by accident, that should be the one that used to have ubuntu, and then another that has important stuff and windows on it [00:17] how many desktops do most of you have? 2? 4? [00:17] cheesestudios: why can't you install it? [00:17] larson9999: that will owkr [00:17] thanks [00:17] oshi: I have four, but recently I've been pondering to increase to 6 [00:17] cheesestudios: Were does the install fail === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [00:18] I'm trying to install ubuntu onto a external hard drive but I can't even get it partitioned. Any Ideas? [00:18] Indy : I was looking in forums and all people say that the problem is the graphic card [00:18] <_Oz_> aenoris: and you can successfully BOOT to any of these but none of the installs see the other physical HDs? [00:18] osi, just 1 but with 2 monitors [00:18] Jack_Sparrow, wht?i want to use it on windows [00:18] It now says "Unable to open /dev/hdb/" [00:18] eltux: yes, install it on an internal drive, cuz its gonna suck when you install it to an external [00:18] nice [00:18] eltux, ive seen some linux on usb - web siutes/tutorials. You may want to check them out. there can be issues to watch out for.. [00:19] Jack_Sparrow, kde is planing a kde windows project [00:19] icesword: It is an OS not a program, there are ways to run OS's in WIndows if that is what you mean. But a version for windows.. no [00:19] IndyGunFreak: I already have it installed on my pc but I tried to install it straight onto the drive and it messed up my install of ubuntu, thank god I have windows (You'll never hear me say that again) [00:19] markgreene, i'm by no means an expert on the subject but the few times i've needed such a thing, it's done the job for me. [00:19] I guess I'm just too acclimated to windows....I keep opening everything up in one workspace..heh [00:19] Dr_willis: ok, I can't even get it partitioned, its in FAT32 and it won't go to ext3 or ntfs [00:19] <_Oz_> Aenoris: ominous [00:19] Jack_Sparrow, thank you ,sir [00:19] <_Oz_> Aenoris: those drives might be toast [00:19] does anyone know of a fix for the disk parking and load cycle count errors that doesn't involve just setting it with hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda - thats horrid for battery life and very scary if you bump the disk while in that state. thanks. [00:19] eltux, use gparted. delete the partitiosn. make new ones. [00:19] Hello! I am trying to set up moblock and keep getting this pesky error: *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/moblock terminated [00:20] Does anyone know how I could at least see one of my hard drives temporarily, so I can save the stuff that I want to another compy on my network? [00:20] np.. If you MUST run it in windows look into the virtual options.. or kill me for suggesting you try wubi [00:20] Dr_willis: my ubuntu partition is broked at the moment, any windows utilites? [00:20] _Oz_: Totally toast, or just the files on them? [00:20] <_Oz_> just the files, yeah. [00:20] eltux, gparted on a live cd - is what i normally use [00:20] * IndyGunFreak smacks Jack_Sparrow with an Ubuntu Install CD for suggesting Wubi [00:20] <_Oz_> Ubuntu SHOULD be able to see those drives with no problem, Aeonoris. [00:20] <_Oz_> Have you run gparted? [00:20] eltux, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ has a lot of tutorials/guides/docs. [00:21] Aeonoris: Do what to one of your HDs? [00:21] IndyGunFreak: DOnt bother trying to slice my wrists with a cd as we speak [00:21] _Oz_: Hmm, I suppose that's not too bad. All I had was game saves, though I was fond of them... [00:21] Aeonoris: What do you want to do? [00:21] Dr_willis: thanks [00:21] Jack_Sparrow: lol [00:21] <_Oz_> Aenorois: if it wasn't anything TOO important the simplest thing is just to use gparted to format and partition them back out fresh [00:21] usr13: Uh, "see" it. It won't let me "see" any files on it >.< [00:21] Aeonoris: mount [00:22] Aeonoris: Is it mounted? or not? [00:22] IndyGunFreak: Wubi is a terrible option but my hope is it will get him started using linux [00:22] eltux, the onlu linux ive ever gotten to install/work off a pendrive/external disk - is the latest Slax (so far) :) they are all gettting better i hear. [00:22] Jack_Sparrow: i guess... [00:22] Dr_willis: oh ok, I'll try anything right now hehe [00:22] i think i would rather run linux in vmware/virtualbox/qemu or whatever.. then use wubi. :) [00:23] i'd rather have my face stomped on by rosie o'donnell wearing golf cleats, than use wubi [00:23] usr13: not totally sure, it says that they're there and have 5gb of free space on them (which isn't true), and that they are empty O.o [00:23] eltux, with the latest slax3.0 setting up my thumbdrive was easy. unzip files to the disk.. run their makeboot.bat, :) but slax3.0 is not got all the exctras yet. but it worked. [00:23] Dr_willis: Please notice I suggested the virtual ways first and after disclaimer offered up wubi [00:23] <_Oz_> Aenoiris: launch a terminal and type "sudo fdisk -l" [00:23] <_Oz_> Aeonoris: this will NOT format the drives [00:23] <_Oz_> It will simply list them [00:23] <_Oz_> See your drives appear in the list [00:23] <_Oz_> (all of the drives) [00:24] Hello! I am trying to set up moblock and keep getting this pesky error: *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/moblock terminated [00:24] Jack_Sparrow, i just saw this tutorial -- > http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/01/11/run-ubuntu-710-from-windows/ [00:24] I'm having a problem playing youtube videos.. every time I play one the entire computer locks up.

[00:30] _Oz_: if you mount in /media, it puts a link on the desktop [00:30] FourX4Luvn, will look into it [00:30] hello [00:31] whonicca: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_webradio_with_icecast2_ices2 [00:31] whats the best php writing program for ubuntu ? [00:31] I found one named Cakephp [00:31] mad_max02, I just like to use gedit [00:32] mad_max02: notepad under wine owns :F [00:32] lol === clay is now known as twoshadetod [00:32] where is the index generated by tracker stored ? [00:32] mad_max02: Depends on your writing style. I really like Bluefish.. but there's also quanta, emacs, vim.... [00:32] anything serious like PHP Developer 2008 ?? [00:32] Does anyone use the acx wireless drivers? [00:32] bluefish ? [00:32] I'll try and find it [00:33] mad_max02: http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/ [00:33] mad_max02: You might also try vim [00:33] Bluefish is a GTK+ HTML editor for the experienced web designer. [00:33] whenever i run compiz, I get some distorted images that temporarily appear with my mouse .... [00:33] its from synaptics :D [00:33] is there any thing special i need to do with my mouse in order to run compiz fusion? [00:33] lemme search vim [00:33] mad_max02: There's also seamonkey [00:34] ahoy [00:34] mad_max02: That's it :) It also supports PHP, CSS, etc [00:34] I got the plugins for gedit instead :) [00:34] whats a program for a remote desktop that i can listen and it connects to their computer? [00:34] vim is txt editor ? aint it ? [00:34] mad_max02: yes [00:34] ive tried vncviewer -listen but it just says their ip and does nothing [00:34] <_Oz_> you still here, Aeonoris [00:35] <_Oz_> ? [00:35] mad_max02: Yes. It supports syntax highlighting and that's about it. Very powerful editor though if you can code by hand. [00:35] after logging out, i can no longer log back in; i just get stuck at that tan colored screen. by the way, i'm running 64-bit gutsy and have searched the forums to no avail. any suggestions? [00:35] _Oz_: Yeah [00:35] <_Oz_> danbhfive: yeah, and that's okay, but just be aware that /media is really for removeable media per the standard [00:35] is there something special i need to do with my mouse so that it works without being sluggins in compiz [00:35] Is there a command line or GUI tool that comes with Ubuntu to help determine the speed of an AGP port on my system? [00:35] I do like to code by hand but it big projects I really like to have layouts and gadgets [00:35] <_Oz_> ok [00:35] <_Oz_> go to /mnt and create a new dir [00:35] im not sure that the /media for removeable media - is followed by ubuntu. :) [00:35] Or any sort of decent system information tool that comes with Ubuntu or one I can maybe get [00:36] <_Oz_> call it the name of what you want your drive to be [00:36] I used to use PHP Developer series [00:36] And includes info like AGP port speed [00:36] but since I deleted windows 100% I'm stuck with replacements [00:36] <_Oz_> dr_willis: it SHOULD be. [00:36] Dr_willis: You're right.. it's not. Virtually all non-OS related mounts are put there. [00:36] Jouva: try 'hardinfo' [00:36] <_Oz_> but I don't really care, to tell you the truth. [00:36] _Oz_: The name that the system already calls it or whatever I want to call it? [00:36] <_Oz_> using /media is ok. [00:37] _Oz_, file a bug then.. I dont really care either. :) [00:37] is there a divx plugin for ubuntu? [00:37] I often link /mnt to /media - because im so use to looking in /mnt [00:37] <_Oz_> aeonoris: create a dir with a character-based name like "ubuntudrive" or "windowsdrive" [00:37] !divx [00:37] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:37] <_Oz_> you will have to sudo [00:37] dsmith, just get vlc via Synaptic [00:37] if i try to transfer large files to a thumb drive, the transfer freezes and begins counting the seconds remaining up. the drive has enough room, and i've tried reformatting it. it works fine in windows and fine in linux, though only for small files. any suggestions? === nameless is now known as namel [00:38] <_Oz_> so for example, "sudo mkdir /media/linuxdrive" [00:38] _Oz_: Okay, created "driveone" [00:38] <_Oz_> now chmod 777 [00:39] hello, anyone know how I can extract a 3.5gb zip file? it seems it doesn't want to, there is some compression error or so.. I think t isbecause it is so big.. [00:39] <_Oz_> "chmod 777 /media/yourdrivename [00:39] maximilion__: this is for viewing material online [00:39] Slightly OT: does anyone know where ThunderBird keeps its emails? I am transfering some data from WinXP to Ubuntu [00:39] _Oz_: media, not mnt? [00:39] <_Oz_> either one [00:39] PeP`, make sure you have enough room to extract it , 2 make sure it is not password protected [00:39] <_Oz_> using /mnt is essentially equivalent [00:39] hey i get a Glib ERROR** when running a compiled Tilda [00:40] <_Oz_> but /mnt is "more" proper if you really care about that kind of thing [00:40] <_Oz_> many don't [00:40] it's not.. mhh [00:40] brokenFUN, what did the error say? [00:40] <_Oz_> now, aeonoris, when you did that fdisk -l... could you paste to me in a privmsg the output it gave you? [00:40] operation not permitted... Eh, sudo it, I assume? [00:40] PeP`, I assume you have installed unzip ? [00:40] <_Oz_> yes [00:40] Pelo: yes [00:40] <_Oz_> I guess you're in /mnt because in /media I don't think sudo is required [00:41] How do you send a private message? [00:41] DaZ: That seems to 1) Only give info on PCI and not AGP (though it lists my card, but I didn't look to see if it says anything about the speed) and 2) Crash very easily [00:41] _Oz_: Yeah, mnt. [00:41] PeP`, try just opening it with fileroller and extracting individual files [00:41] <_Oz_> aeonoris: I'm not registered, so I guess you can't... just paste it in the channel, I guess... no way around it. [00:41] Has anybody ever experienced sluggish mouse problems with Compiz? I am having some "smude" that appears when i move my mouse, anybody have any ideas? [00:41] DaZ: I select one option, it shows it. Then if I select another section, it crashes. [00:41] Pelo: ok.. [00:42] PeP`, just to see if hyou can do it [00:42] Yo, I got a random problem. And I know, I don't have too much info about it. Over the last few days, for some reason, when I'm browsing FF, it will suddenly lock up. I can use other programs for about 2-3 seconds, and then the entire system freezes. I can move my house around still, but nothing responds. [00:42] Aeonoris: What program are you using? usually you can /msg nickname [00:42] <_Oz_> aeonoris: paste the output of fdisk -l [00:42] Aeonoris: or right click works too [00:42] lusepuster: Glib-ERROR **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.14.1/glib/gmem.c:154: failed to allocate 4294******* bytes [00:43] _Oz_: Okay, here goes.

Why would it lock up my entire system? And I haven't added any new extensions since it started up [00:43] whats the menu bar at the top of the screen called?

[00:44] Pelo, I only have 6 extensions [00:44] > !info Pysol [00:44] lusepuster: idk [00:44] _Oz_: I expected it to do that :P Uh, it printed my whole message [00:44] jpeterman, just a suggestion [00:44] Freebean, my wife is a pysol addict. :) its even out for windows. [00:44] Pelo, Ok, thanks. [00:44] <_Oz_> aeonoris, did you have a drive listed after /hda1?

[00:45] _Oz_: Uh, hda1, some jargon, hdb1-2-3-5, jargon, hdd1 [00:45] :) [00:45] Pelo: I can extract all small files, but the one that is 4gb I can't.... [00:45] Jouva: anyway, if you've got nvidia card you can check agp speed in driver settings ^^ [00:45] <_Oz_> do you have any other lines that look like that but with hda2, hda3, etc? [00:45] jpeterman, flash and java have been known to cause 100% cpu which might cause your symptom === james989 is now known as james [00:45] <_Oz_> ok, the last one is hdd1? [00:45] jpeterman: How often does that happen? [00:45] natlinuxnewb: Did you find the Thunderbird email? [00:46] Pelo: I'm sure it is a unzip problem [00:46] PeP`, there might be something wrong with that file [00:46] Pelo, krim, Thanks. It started up this weekend randomly and has happend about 30minutes or so after using my PC, unfortunately pretty frequently [00:46] Pelo: I don't think so.. I'll search the web... [00:46] DaZ: That's why I want to look up said info, because I'd like to GET an nVidia card or atleast a better ATi card [00:46] FourX4Luvn: Nope. not yet [00:46] I might add my Network-Manager started randomly consuming 100% of cpu, but I haven't noticed it doing that any of these times, because when it does, it says there's no network connection [00:46] _Oz_: Yeah, hdd1 [00:47] my computer froze 3 times in 5 minutes forced me to reboot .... any thoughts??? [00:47] <_Oz_> jouva: may I HIGHLY recommend nvidia [00:47] <_Oz_> do NOT get an ATI card [00:47] _Oz_: I figured :) [00:47] jpeterman: If I were you I'd remove all extensions and see if things change. Since the freezes occure so often it won't take that long to find out. [00:47] <_Oz_> aeonoris: ok, here's what to do next [00:47] natlinuxnewb: Ok, open thunderbird, go to edit>account settings. select 'local folders' and it shows where it's set to store them in "local directory" [00:47] krim, alright will do. thanks all [00:47] <_Oz_> type "mount /dev/hdd2 /mnt/yourdrivename [00:47] okay I try again - anybody got an idea what can be up with my swap partition, it seems to lose its formatting when try and do a suspend to RAM... I'll have to reformat it with gparted, and it cannot be swapon'ed afterwards, only gparted seems to be able to activate it [00:47] But uhh, I still want to figure out what speed my port is so that I can get the right one [00:47] <_Oz_> " [00:47] Jouva: .. sorry {: there's too many messages for me to keep up :F [00:47] _Oz_: Though I didn't fdisk after the mount, so if mount should have changed it it won't be in there... [00:47] "Error (camorama) 'Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0). Please check connection.'" for spc325nc [00:48] FourX4Luvn: Thanks for that advice. I cant open Thunderbird. Its on a WinXP HD that cant log in [00:48] DaZ: That's fine :) I can understand that. [00:48] <_Oz_> tell me what happens after you try mounting it [00:48] my computer froze 3 times in 5 minutes forced me to reboot .... any thoughts??? [00:48] _Oz_: mount: special device /dev/hdd2 does not exist [00:48] Oh.. well, of course the path would be different on Windows too then.. Perhaps you could try asking in a Windows channel? [00:48] Help: OpenGL Unreal Tournament '99 nvidia tnt [00:49] krammer: there are many many reason that it could be happening [00:49] natlinuxnewb: Oh.. well, of course the path would be different on Windows too then.. Perhaps you could try asking in a Windows channel? [00:49] * _Oz_ muses [00:49] <_Oz_> try it again [00:49] <_Oz_> type "mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/yourdrivename [00:49] <_Oz_> just do hdd1 this time [00:49] krammer: try staying in your bios and tell me if you get the same problem (freezing) HAPPENING? [00:49] _Oz_: Did it without comment [00:49] Is there anything special that needs to be done with my mouse in order to get compiz working? [00:49] no need for the bios [00:50] the problem is that with compiz everything works fine, but my mouse leaves behind a temporary splatter? [00:50] <_Oz_> ok [00:50] Hi guys i am new user for ubuntu ,,Just wondeed what AntiVirus software people are using with ubuntu. [00:50] FourX4Luvn: yeah...How do I see what channels are available on Pidgin? [00:50] <_Oz_> take a look in "computer" [00:50] <_Oz_> see if the drive appears [00:50] _Oz_: Oh, but it seems that HDD1 is the one that I could already see, heh [00:50] <_Oz_> oh [00:50] <_Oz_> what are the specific gibberish names it gave to the other ones in the fdisk -l list [00:50] natlinuxnewb: Hey.. I managed to find something that will help you... http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/releases/1.5.html [00:51] dsmith, looked around a little, did you get help? [00:51] natlinuxnewb: Go there and search for "profile folder" It gives a list of where it stores the mail for various platforms [00:51] no [00:51] I have the nvidia legacy driver for nvidia tnt. I installed ut '99 and everything, but gameplay is choppy/worse than how it played in windows(very well!) [00:51] _Oz_: I -think- "/dev/hda1 * 1 9728 78140128+ 7 HPFS/NTFS" is the one I want to mount [00:51] dsmith, if opening a URL in vlc is an option, then try that [00:51] <_Oz_> ok [00:51] <_Oz_> try mounting that one [00:51] <_Oz_> same command as before [00:51] I was looking to see if I could run divx movies in firefox, thankfully I can download them [00:51] <_Oz_> just /hda1 [00:51] <_Oz_> instead of hdd1 [00:51] _Oz_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:51] divx plugin is installed according to adept [00:52] _Oz_: Same place, or a new folder in mnt? [00:52] FourX4Luvn: Thanks for that. thats great. *goes off to see if its in one of those places* [00:52] <_Oz_> arrrrgh... floodbot [00:52] maximilion__: I may try that [00:52] <_Oz_> same place, aeonoris [00:52] natlinuxnewb: As for what channels are availabe, type '/list' It will open a new window with the available channels [00:52] FourX4Luvn: thanks again :) [00:52] natlinuxnewb: No prob :) Good luck [00:52] _Oz_: Densied, windows marked it to be in use [00:53] <_Oz_> hmmm [00:53] _Oz_: Denied* [00:53] I might have done something catastrophic to my computer. I hope someone can help. I get the strangest warning when I log in now. Every time.....

[01:01] _Oz_: And it has the one that I could already see twice, so I guess that worked... K, I'll look there. It said earlier (when it told me the drive was in use) that I could force it, using "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/driveone -o force". Would trying that screw anything up? [01:01] FourX4Luvn: no... what's use net? [01:01] jrib: not the one, i just tried to install, there are other themes present [01:02] mon^rch: It's newsgroups.. You need a usenet account before you can setup newsgroups in anything like thunderbird or evolution [01:02] arbir: not even when you go to "customize"? [01:02] jrib: when i downloaded this file from this site, it was a zip file containing various folders.. i renamed it to .tar.gz [01:02] jrib: let me check customize [01:02] lyag: u still there [01:02] mon^rch: Used to be you'd get an account included with your ISP account.. but those days are gone. Now you have to add the service seperately [01:02] can I just add something after the command use\games\sol as in what starts solitaire . .. to get say kilondike ? [01:03] FourX4Luvn: i have an isp with a news server... t-bird is NOT giving me a place to specify a news server [01:03] FourX4Luvn: can I POST from usenet? [01:03] "ssh://user@192.168.x.y" in alt-f2, is that a nautilus function or gnome function? [01:03] oh, this is fun, libsasl2-dev is installed....I can find the needed header files in /usr/include/sasl, but when I run configure, it insists the files can't be found [01:03] anyone knows about an option to add to nautilus fields of permissions etc. ? [01:03] peleg: what? [01:03] jrib: no .. i dont see anything from the new install.. all old ones [01:04] Hi.. Someone have iPhone? [01:04] mon^rch: Oh.. Ok.. then open thunderbird, click file>new>account and select 'newsgroup account' [01:04] Flannel: I want to see things like permissions in the list of files in nautilus. [01:04] .it [01:04] maximilion__: one moment === namel is now known as nameless [01:04] lyag: hello? [01:05] arbir: I just installed it here. It shows up in "Controls" in "Customize" as "OSX-theme". If you are not seeing it, what is the md5sum of the tar.gz you downloaded? [01:05] Someone already used iphone in linux? [01:05] jrib: how do i check the md5 sum ? [01:05] Cew27: Yes, sorry [01:05] arbir: md5sum /path/to/file [01:05] arbir: md5sum [01:05] _Oz_: Reading more up on stuff, it seems like if I can just boot into windows for a moment and then shut it down cleanly, it might let me mount them... Thanks a ton, I'm gonna restart and try that now [01:05] lyag: i think my xorg.conf is messed up [01:05] alright.. let me try.. [01:05] Ok, I'd like an HONEST answer: If I WERE to buy an nVidia card to replace my ATi card but I'm on a budget, what one should I get? I'm not looking to get OMG BEST 3D GRAPHICS EVER. I want something that won't be generally slow with stuff like just watching a youtube video. I MAY want to run Second Life as well, but it doesn't have to be super fast with that. [01:05] Cew27: You can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:06] I'm not looking for a gamer card. I'm looking for a card that works that I can afford, so WELL under $100 [01:06] when i know [01:06] Cew27: But first back it up: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [01:06] when i gedit it its blanc [01:06] But I know nothing about the nVidia line. [01:06] Jouva: 6600 [01:06] Jouva: I have a 7600 that I got a year ago and works fine. I paid 100 a year ago so, I hope that puts it in your price range now [01:06] I have the nvidia legacy drviers for my nvidia tnt card. I installed Unreal Tournament 99, and the performance is suffering. It's choppy compared to how it played in windows (very well!!!). Any ideas? [01:06] Jouva: Just about any new nVidia card out today would meet your needs then. Don't worry about the model.. just get something that's kind of mid-range price wise and you'll be fine [01:06] My system tells me Flash Player is install but websites tell me I have to install the plugin [01:06] lyag: when i run gedit "/ect/x11/xorg.conf" its empty [01:06] rael, uninstall flash from synaptic. [01:07] hey.... i installed php5, apache2, and mysql all seperately... and the httpd.conf file is empty.... does that sound right? i am trying to get php to work with apache [01:07] mon^rch: You create a newsgroup account and it'll ask you what news server you want to use [01:07] !lamp > siph0n (read the private message from ubotu) [01:07] Cew27: What display adapter do you have? [01:07] intel 945 i think [01:07] jrib: f7043757b5f6876d25853e2e831c17f9 -- ubuntu to OSX Leopard.tar.gz [01:07] Siph0n: apache2.conf is what is used now, but you need to touch it at all. Read the wiki instructions [01:07] FourX4Luvn: I am seriously frustrated... and NOT a novice! why oh, wny is t-bird not allowing me to specify a news server? [01:08] info Pysol [01:08] Cew27: If your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is truely empty, then boot the live CD and copy it over. [01:08] mon^rch: Newsgroup account is not listed in the account wizard? [01:08] arbir: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/OSX-Tiger+theme?content=56577 gives me 56577-gtk-osx-theme.tar.gz [01:08] Siph0n: apache2.conf, as well as th conf files in sites-available and mods-available. Ubuntu uses the debian method of apache configuration, not the monolithic one [01:08] Cew27: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:08] Cew27: Nothing....? [01:08] ! [01:08] mon^rch: You need to add a new account, after it asks for your name/email, it asks for your server. [01:08] lyag: cat? [01:08] yes [01:09] Flannel and jrib: thanks!!!! :) [01:09] Ok right now I just looked in the $25-$50 and the 6600 and 7600 weren't in that range, so that's pushing it for me ;) I did see some 6200s and a 6800LE though. [01:09] jrib: i dont quite get you [01:09] then just reinstalled via the broswer? [01:09] what does grep do exactly? [01:09] So I'm not sure how well they are. [01:09] But right now I'm just looking on newegg [01:10] arbir: the file you linked me to is not the one you are looking at now on your computer [01:10] jack-desktop: Searches the contents of a text file [01:10] jack-desktop: grep = helps you search for regular expressions [01:10] lyag: whats cat [01:10] oh [01:10] lyag: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:10] hello room, if i was wanting to setup virtual box w/ ubuntu.. is there a setup guide somewhere? [01:10] jrib: what is the size of your download ? [01:10] Cew27: cat - concatenate files and print on the standard output [01:10] Flannel: actually... it's only asking for that info only if I add a mail account... if a add I news/rss account everything "looks" like it's going okey-dokey... then seems to skip the important part of adding the news server. is it because I installed thunderbird-gnome-support? [01:10] ahave: Sure is.. gimmie a sec and I'll dig out the URL.. [01:10] !pastebin [01:10] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [01:11] thanks FourX4Luvn [01:11] arbir: 72K, the md5sum is 44e64082569351b7782658d8b358de79 and the name is 56577-gtk-osx-theme.tar.gz [01:11] FourX4Luvn, arbir, what is a simple command i can test to find out what it does [01:11] ahave: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/create-and-manage-virtual-machines-using-virtualbox.html [01:11] thanks! [01:11] ahave: No prob [01:11] lyag: yeh that worked want me to pastebin it [01:11] jrib, celi0us, FourX4Luvn, how does this look: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814136022 [01:11] jrib: thanks.. let me find out the page then.... [01:11] mon^rch: When you go to add a newsgroup account, (create account, newsgroup radio button) it asks for your name and email first, then after you hit next, it asks for your server. [01:12] jack-desktop: try this " ls |grep "file name i want to find" [01:12] lyag: arghh why does ubuntu never keep anything copied to clipboard [01:12] arbir, yea nevermind, i tried this: jack@jack-desktop:~$ cat cdkeys.txt | grep 7 [01:12] Flannel: it's not asking for the server... :( [01:12] Jouva: That should meet all your requirements pretty nicely [01:13] hi, when i try to boot up form my fw disk i get an error 21... any easy way to fix this? thanks [01:13] Someone already used iphone in linux? [01:13] Flannel: i am stumpped [01:13] mon^rch: What does the first page ask? and then what does the second page ask? [01:13] wisshh: I think that's a grub problem [01:13] mon^rch: Which version of Thunderbird are you using? [01:13] FourX4Luvn, I was actually wanting to install virtualbox in XP, running ubuntu... do you know of a setup guide for that? [01:13] FourX4Luvn: Maybe not because most people seem to have random issues with it [01:13] Just noticed the reviews [01:14] jrib: i found the link ... http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac+OSX+Leopard+10.5+Full+pack?content=72425 [01:14] ahave: Oh!.. sorry.. No I don't have one.. But go to google and search for "virtualbox windows xp" and I'm sure you'll find a howto somewhere. [01:14] when i try to modprob lirc_pvr150 i get a seg fault, is there any way i can re-build that module?? [01:14] Cew27: Is the file really empty? If so, boot the live install CD and just copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the mounted filesystem on the HD. [01:14] i cant boot from cd [01:14] jrib: but i think, i found a link which gives me some docs [01:14] that cat thing worked i got info then [01:14] Flannel: page 1: type of acct. p-2: acct name. p-3: finish. it's obviously skipping something. why? [01:14] Jouva: Oh.. I didn't look at the reviews... Hrm.. Lemme see what I have in my system.. It was pretty cheap and runs Second Life just fine... BRB [01:14] FourX4Luvn, ok. would ubuntu be a linux 2.6 ? [01:14] jrib: let me try those docs and then get back here.. thanks though for pointing out the fundamental error [01:14] Jouva: don't know anything about that particular card. I imagine most nvidia cards "just work", but google for "ubuntu" and the model before you buy [01:14] ahave: Yes [01:15] Cew27: Then the file is not empty. You only need to edit it. [01:15] mon^rch: p3 should be name of account, with page 2 in the middle asking for account. Which version of Ubuntu are you using? What you can do, is add it, then go back and edit the account, and add in the server. [01:15] Cew27: But first back it up: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [01:15] Cew27: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:16] A great guide for setting up RubyRipper can be found @ http://what.cd/forums.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=5984 [01:16] Cew27: navigate down to the lines that say "Modes" [01:16] I'm figuring out if it's doable now to install kiba-dock on a 64 bits version of the distro... it seems to be a problem [01:16] lyag: hold on im going to try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [01:17] jrib: It seemed to be more defects in the quality, like "an odor" or "high pitched noise" from the fan, or "artifacts" === salah__ is now known as salah [01:17] Or "DOA" [01:17] Flannel: and it's getting hung up on accessing a server that isn't, ahem "specified" (lol) the program is certainly not functioning properly. it's not possible to edit the account settings for a news/rss account. I CAN however add a url to access rss feeds, but NOT news servers. re-install? [01:17] how to install modem intel? [01:17] This one seems to have better reviews: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150107 [01:17] How large files does ext3 support? [01:18] mon^rch: I don't know if reinstalling will help any. What version of Ubuntu is this? [01:18] hello to everyone!! [01:18] Jouva: Well, newegg doesn't sell what I have anymore, but here's a link to it. Maybe you could find it elsewhere... http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125156 [01:18] Flannel: feisty [01:18] salah: Depends on how it's setup, anywhere from 16GB to 2TB [01:18] hi [01:18] what is the easiest way to allow a user to have forward and backward keys on their mouse when browsing with nautilus? [01:18] which dir holds the fonts on linux [01:18] FourX4Luvn: Ahh that's PCI Express but I'm sure I could find that in AGP. [01:19] icesword: /usr/share/fonts? [01:19] Flannel: I want newsgroups to post to my city site so I can let my city know I am avail. for work [01:19] Odd-rationale, thx,i will check taht [01:19] that [01:19] icesword: There are a few places, but one is: /var/lib/texmf/fonts/ [01:19] mon^rch: You could perhaps manually edit your profile and add in the server. Definately file a bug against the thunderbird package on LP [01:19] well, even if you can't find that exact one.. I know the chipset it uses is rock solid in Linux and runs SecondLife with no slowdown. Maybe you could find a different card with the same chipset [01:19] Flannel: so anything that can post to a newsgroup and send me replies will be very helpfull [01:20] Jouva: well, even if you can't find that exact one.. I know the chipset it uses is rock solid in Linux and runs SecondLife with no slowdown. Maybe you could find a different card with the same chipset [01:20] Flannel, ok, on my file system, every files longer than 3-4 GB gets bad I/O error. For example, if I watch a ISO DVD with VLC, suddenly the harddrive starts to make the kind of work sound, and it is really working hard. And nothing answers. What might be the problem? [01:20] I am trying to install a new wallpaper however I am not able to realize which extension the theme file has to have. Could anybody tell me please? [01:20] FourX4Luvn: Yep yep, looking now :) [01:20] Flannel: name of file to edit and add server? [01:20] But what's the "GT" in the 6600? [01:20] ricky_: just right click on your desktop and change the desktop background. Then select the file [01:21] Jouva: #hardware might give you final approval too as far as the merits of the card go [01:21] mon^rch: Uh, I'm not really sure. Something in .thunderbird, they may be able to give you much better help in #thunderbird on irc.mozilla.org, like what to actually look for and how ot edit and stuff. But, be sure to file a bug so it can be fixed [01:21] "Good Technology?" "Gullible Techies"? ;) [01:21] Okie [01:21] icesword: Also: /usr/share/fonts [01:21] Jouva: The 6600 GT has higher Clock Speeds than the Standard 6600 and Higher quality memory (Faster). [01:22] Flannel: ty for the help [01:22] thx [01:22] Hey, I am confused with using keys with OpenSSH, I have a private key for a user on a remote server which I put in my local id_rsa file but of course now it trys to use that for all servers I connect to (asking for the passphrase everytime). Where am i suppose to put the key? [01:22] for everyone [01:22] Jouva: I pasted that from a website forum, so take it with a grain of salt :) [01:22] Got ya [01:22] mon^rch: If you don't want to switch servers, #ubuntu-mozillateam can probably help too. Might be a good place to check out anyway [01:22] lyag: hi i got it back to 1280 x 768 by reconfiguring the xorg [01:22] Cew27: Very good. [01:23] lyag: but i want to get it to 1280x800 now [01:23] where sunbird locate a calenders file? it should be in Calendar/*.ics i think [01:23] but i don't have this dir [01:23] jrib_: yes but if I want to download a new theme from www.gnome-look.org, what "kind" of theme has to be? In that page I have found MEtacity Themes, GDM THemes,... I have download several themes of diferent "types" however Ubuntu is no recognizing them as suitable themes. [01:23] Cew27: But first back it up: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [01:23] lyag: when i unplug from my external monitor it lets me but then buggers up on restart [01:24] i try to find which file sunbird opens via strace but there isn't any interesting [01:24] Cew27: navigate down to the lines that say "Modes" and add "1280x800" to the beginning of each set. [01:24] Falican: you should set that up in ~/.ssh/config. See 'man ssh' discussion on -i switch (feel free to ask more) [01:24] Skfarek: Just search your home directory for *.ics :) [01:24] what is the easiest way to allow a user to have forward and backward keys on their mouse when browsing with nautilus? [01:24] jrib: thnx [01:24] ok how do i back it up [01:24] ricky_: gdm is the login screen, metacity is the window border, gtk is the controls (like buttons and scrollbars) [01:24] is anyone here good with iptables?

[01:37] If i turn on remote access can someone just fix my computer? [01:37] What does this mean? "./configure: line 20212: unexpected token 'XEXT,' ./configure: line 20212: 'PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XEXT, xproto x11 xextproto xau'"? I got this line trying to ./autogen.sh a required package called XEXT for Intel GM865 package. I know the apt repo has the package, but I am trying to learn stuff on linux without using apt to install everything at the moment. [01:37] -rw-r--r-- 1 emma emma 28 2008-02-16 14:23 .dmrc [01:37] that is the result of ls -l .dmrc [01:37] !pastebin [01:37] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [01:38] emma: That should do it then.. ownership and permissions are right [01:38] Does that mean I need all the packages listed? If so, how is that possible considering I need XEXT to install XEXT? [01:38] Okay I sure hope so! [01:38] emma: Log completely out and back in again.. and if you have problems still then come back and let us know, ok? [01:38] lyag: aaaaaaaah do you know why ubuntu never saves anything i copy after i close the source [01:39] but seriously if i turn on remote access can someone fix me up with wireless. I am big dumb. [01:39] what's wrong with your wireless norml_advocate [01:39] FourX4Luvn, okay I will do that right now. [01:39] hello there. I'm having troubles getting hostap drivers compiled (I assume that's necessary) with PRISM2_DOWNLOAD_SUPPORT, in order to flash the very old firmware on my prism2.5 card. [01:39] norml_advocate, you don't need remote access for help [01:39] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56437/ [01:40] wow LiraNuna. Tone down the color :) Hurts me eyes [01:40] I am trying to set up a firewall where one machine is the only on the network which can access the internet. if iptables is blocking all network traffic, how do I allow one host access all network traffic unrestricted? [01:40] lyag: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56437/ [01:40] odbod: thanks for your help... [01:40] FourX4Luvn, what colorr? [01:40] FourX4Luvn, I'm using irssi, natively writing, what color are you talking about [01:40] heyhey [01:40] LiraNuna I cant get the 43xx cutter tool to make my wireless work [01:41] I was just wondering, is this the "official" room for ubuntu? [01:41] and cant find windows drivers [01:41] LiraNuna: Hrm.. it must be my client settings then. I don't use IRC much, so I just use pidgin. Never looked at it's color settings.. Anyway, on my screen you are a BRIGHT green.. Like glow in the dark neon green. [01:41] linux_trojan: the official support channel, yes [01:41] norml_advocate, try using the restricted drivers manager [01:41] cool, today is my first day to use ubuntu, just installed it [01:41] FourX4Luvn, Pidgin it not for IRC, don' [01:42] already did that, says its enabled but doesnt work [01:42] norml_advocate: Is it the card that isn't working, or perhaps your encryption? Do you use WPA or WEP? Could it be that that's causing the problem and not the card? [01:42] anyone keep up with www.distrowatch.com? [01:42] lyag: u still there [01:42] anyone use gnome and 2 monitors? [01:42] why has ubuntu dropped to #2 spot? [01:42] anyone? "flashing firmware on a prism2.5 card" [01:42] linux_trojan: i do [01:42] Skfarek, yes. [01:42] i dont know what those things are. I just connect to public servers at coffee shops [01:43] who is at #1 [01:43] Hello. I still got the same error after putting in my password. [01:43] lmgeee: any problems? [01:43] linux_trojan: it aint [01:43] linux_trojan: I suspect comunity fraus =D [01:43] kolby: pclinuxos [01:43] linux_trojan: this channel is only for support. We have #ubuntu-offtopic for other discussion. Please go there for this conversation [01:43] and i dont know anything about setting this thing up [01:43] lmgeee: i have a problem with a wallpaper [01:43] yea PCLINUXOS [01:43] yeah [01:43] lmgeee: it looks awful [01:43] thats a good topic for offtopic [01:43] PC Specs: 600 mhz AMD athlon/768 mb ram/nvidia tnt --- I have the nvidia legacy drivers working. I installed UT '99, but the performance is choppy compared to when it ran on windows (very well!!) any ideas? [01:43] Skfarek, prop nvidia drivers. no wallpaper. compiz? [01:43] norml_advocate: Ok.. well if you're connecting to public servers than encryption isn't the issue [01:44] lmgeee: nop. intel drivers + copiz [01:44] the best thing ubuntu has going I think is its great forums and it does appear to be very stable [01:44] norml_advocate: Stupid question, but are you sure it's turned on? Most laptops have a key combination to turn the wireless on or off. [01:44] i have read alot of doc. on this, and it seems really common, and theres acajillion ways to make htis work. [01:44] could someone look at my xorg.conf file and advise me. my tv out stopped working. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56438/ [01:44] lmgeee: well it looks like on second monitor last pixel on the whole screen [01:44] linux_trojan: what isnt stable [01:44] it is turned on [01:44] anyone use ipod touch on ubuntu? [01:44] Skfarek, might well be a compiz issue. I remember squashed wallpapers too -> turned em off [01:44] but i cant turn it off when i press the button [01:44] linux_trojan: More up to date than debian, but still with the wonderful apt package management. [01:44] Skfarek, hang on.. [01:45] fevel: i used it to control ubuntu via vnc [01:45] lmgeee: do you use xrandr or what? [01:45] anyone got the eeepc if so how is it [01:45] mrdigital: I think youve mistaken your answer [01:45] mrdigital: I was talking about Ipod touch [01:45] yeah [01:45] you can use it to remote desktop into ubuntu [01:45] or windows [01:45] via VNC [01:46] Cew27: I don't, but there were two people in here last night talking about it. Consensus seemed to be that it was pretty good for what it is.. and the wifi adapter is pretty flaky. [01:46] im just pointing out a cool feature [01:46] mrdigital: OH REALLY! [01:46] if u jailbreak it [01:46] mrdigital: thats cool [01:46] Skfarek, yes. can't find the flag for the Device section, but it prevented some buffers. [01:46] FourX4Luvn: what you mean about the adapter and is it worth getting for my bd and sticking mint or another distro on it ? [01:46] fevel: have u heard of jailbreaking? [01:46] Where are samba shares mounted if you can see them in nautilus? It just showed the files on a windows box, but I don't know where to find them int eh command line to play... [01:46] ive heard of ssh through bsd subsystem [01:46] yes [01:46] I have a license for VMware Workstation 5, I cant get it to run on any 2008 linux distros, yet I can get VMplayer to work on all the distros [01:46] lmgeee: any solution? [01:47] Skfarek, two screens with 1280x1024 tripple buffered is quite some memory [01:47] I tried mounting them manually (mount -t smbfs (and also cifs) //ip.add.ress.sofbox/sharename /mnt [01:47] Skfarek, yeah, but I can't find the flag [01:47] my is a jailbroken touch 16 gb but cant seem to transfer podcasts, photos and those things [01:47] Cew27: I mean it seemed like they were having trouble with the wifi just shutting off for no apparant reason at any time it wanted to. Otherwise they liked it. [01:47] lmgeee: i can wait ;) [01:47] only music through ipod-touch-mount [01:48] i wnat someone to fix my wireless through remote accesss! [01:48] mrdigital: had you any luck??? [01:48] FourX4Luvn: what atheros wireless is it and it sounds like a driver issue [01:48] Cew27: So.. if you're not going to be doing much wireless with it then for the price, yeah, it might be pretty good. If you are going wireless a lot I'd stay away though. [01:48] whos the bigshot around here? [01:48] Cew27: I have no idea.. Like I said, I don't have one, just know what I overheard [01:48] anyone use "bitch x"? [01:48] I'm back I made a pastebin to explain things..... Can anyone help me with a strange error? [01:48] emma Still no go, eh? [01:48] Skfarek, got a prob myself I have to sort first.. :\ [01:48] What is this "roaming mode" in network manager? If I disable it, my wireless network no longer shows up in it [01:48] I did the sudo chmod and logged back in but the same error was there along with a new error. Here is the pastebin -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56439/ [01:49] FourX4Luvn: kool i think i may get one althaugh i am concered about the small hdd [01:49] how do i setup slip [01:49] lmgeee: i'm stiil here ;) [01:49] is ubuntu the only distro to use sudo I never seen that before, I just went ahead and created a password for my root [01:50] emma: Ok..

I only can boot with Ubuntu.. :-$ [01:52] change xorg.conf? [01:52] bluefox83: intel onboard 645 [01:52] bluefox83: ok, thank you. if it doesn't work I'm blaming you :P [01:52] should I log out and back on again? [01:52] norml_advocate, you need to do it yourself, it's dangerous for someone to log into your system and do stuff to your system [01:52] emma: Your home directory was set to allow anyone to write to it. Big security problem. That command will remove the write ability from anyone that is not 'emma' or in the 'emma' group. [01:52] emma: Yes, please [01:52] bluefox83 i trust you [01:52] Drizzt321, no problem :P [01:52] you do it [01:52] :-) [01:52] dual boot, I havent done that in a long time [01:52] norml_advocate, whats the problem?

Fair enough. :) Just was curious, it's such an old technology. Gimmie a minute.. I think I still have some info around here about it. [01:53] norml_advocate, when you go to system->administration->network, is wireless connection listed? [01:54] hmm this DVD wont play for me. it's matrix reloaded. any ideas? nothing happens when totem tries playing it and i cant open the vob files [01:54] yes it is and the restricted drivers manager says its enabled [01:54] zth: try downloading VLC [01:54] Cew27: coz you dont have to worry about the partitions and the boot file, you run windows and linux at the same time [01:54] FourX4Luvin Thank you.:) [01:54] What is this..

[01:55] norml_advocate, do you see a little icon on your taskbar that says "wired network connection" looks like two little computers together? [01:55] std: That should give you a good start at least :) === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:55] zth: VLC does a good job at playing all media files and discs [01:55] yes [01:55] emma: All better?

[01:56] !grub | maco [01:56] maco: 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 [01:56] bluefox83 yes [01:56] norml_advocate, whats coming up? [01:56] It's funny how that could have happened. I've never looked at that file. I think maybe what did it is that I did a sudo gedit when I should do a gksudo gedit... [01:56] emma: What file were you trying to edit? [01:57] Has anyone succeeded in configuring an ATI HD 2600 card in 7.10 ? I,ve tried almost all how to and check thousands of forums posts without success.... [01:57] I think it was my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [01:57] Trying to find a GNOME theme that expands the edges of the windows. I'm having trouble clicking to resize. [01:57] it says wired network with a radio button high lighted, uder that it say wireless networkds, but none there. there shouldnt be any there though because there is now wireless here. [01:57] I think for dual boot you install windows and make sure you create a swap partition, then install linux and the boot loader reads that you have and windows partition and it puts that in the boot loader, but I cant remember for suer [01:57] norml_advocate, congradulations, your wireless works [01:57] it also has conncet to other and create wireless net. options [01:58] emma: Your problem was that your home directory became world writeable. What caused THAT I don't know, but that's why you were getting the errors. Editing your xorg.conf file wouldn't of had anything to do with that.. Nor would sudo vs gksudo. [01:58] but when i go to the coffee shop it doesnt show up [01:58] gosh I cant type [01:58] Hm. I am not sure then. I really don't know. [01:58] i just want it to appear there so i can click and surf [01:58] no servers coming up [01:58] emma: Oh well.. It's fixed now.. If it happens again, THEN you know you have troubles.. For now though, just forget about it and enjoy your now working again computer :) [01:59] norml_advocate, i dunno, when i go to my local library i get like three different wireless signals, two from the library, one from the coffee shop around the block... [01:59] Cool thanks so much again! [01:59] emma: No problem. [01:59] do you think that the router is turned off when they close the coffee shop? [01:59] its in the basement [01:59] oh, fuck!! [01:59] !language | maco [01:59] maco: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:59] easiest way to do a dual boot is with two distinct hard drives [02:00] FourX4Luvn, ati is pretty well known for not being very linux friendly, so you might be out of luck till someone can write the driver for your card [02:00] ok... [02:00] eh? [02:00] bluefox83: Got the wrong guy there, bud :) [02:00] norml_advocate, yeah, lots of coffee shops do that, they think someone might hack their stuff in the middle of the night with no one there watching the network [02:00] FourX4Luvn, you didn't have probs with a ati card? [02:00] Still the wrong guy ;) [02:01] bluefox83: No sir. I run nVidia [02:01] but that would make them stupid cuz if i could hack i would do it while sitting right there and drinking there tasty coffee [02:01] and using there interweb [02:01] bluefox83: I think you're looking for nbourdeau [02:01] it was nbourdeau >.> [02:01] bluefox83 : it's me! [02:01] shouldnt that be "bourdeaux"? [02:02] nbourdeau, well then i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but ati is very well known for not being very forthcoming with their drivers for the linux crowd [02:02] see you all later, i'm getting no love here. if a netadmin has time to look at this it would be very nice! :D http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=699871 [02:02] i know it is not linux friendly but was just gessing if someone succeded in configuring fglrx with this card [02:02] nbourdeau, so, you might be out of luck [02:02] can some1 who knows something answer something for me or else direct me to where I mite find the answer? [02:02] bluefox83 thanks for the help. im gonna go try and find a wireless network. if it doesnt work ill be back. will you be here in an hour [02:02] ? [02:02] Freebean: Just ask your question :) [02:02] * bluefox83 makes a point to never buy ati, since they are notorious for not coughing up the drivers [02:03] * Norther makes that note too [02:03] ati all in wonder is a nightmare in linux [02:03] you know the standard Solitaire in ububtu? [02:03] norml_advocate, possibly, and you might want to download a little package called "wifi radar" [02:03] comes up with last version u played [02:03] can anyone help me to install a hauppaufe wintv pvr 150 ir blaster? the remote is working but not the blaster, im using gutsy [02:03] whats that? [02:03] I think there is a program called casas or something but I never made it work [02:03] bluefox83: since amd bought ati, there's been a commitment to decent linux drivers, & they're getting better [02:04] norml_advocate, helps you detect wifi networks ;) [02:04] Frogzoo, cool, doesn't AMD own ati? [02:04] Freebean: Hrm.. Nope, afraid I don't [02:04] bluefox83: they do now, yes [02:04] Frogzoo: When did that happen? [02:04] and didn't HP or someone just buy amd? [02:05] ok thx anyway [02:05] No, no no.. don't say that, bluefox [02:05] What is this.. "Illegal block number passwed to ext2fs_test_block_bitmap ****** for multiply claimed block map". I'm running fsck and I have hundreds of these errors [02:05] hey my audio on my ubuntu just stop working now i have no sound what do i do to fix this?

[02:06] ive got a bunch of kubuntu 6.10 discs that i dont need. is there anywhere i can send them that would want them? === Norther is now known as dataloss [02:06] norml_advocate, no, you have to refresh it once in a while to keep it looking [02:06] nothing yet [02:06] dataloss: Ouch..

May help you. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=578484 [02:06] hi [02:06] i have returned [02:07] bluefox83 but if i go to a place where i know there is a signal, and open the wifi radar they will appear there?

[02:08] anyone have any luck transfering photos, videos, etc to a jailbroken Ipod touch??? [02:08] norml_advocate, yeah...that's the idea [02:08] thanks four, and yes dr_willis.... i just tried that method [02:08] it stopped my usb adapter from working apparntely [02:08] Hmm, odd, FourX4Luvn. It says it's a rare bug in the filesystem. I'm lucky [02:08] bluefox83 how do you get to know so much about linux? i must learn. i want to learn how to program and stuff [02:08] dataloss: Lol.. What a way to be lucky, eh? [02:08] soulburner, just googled this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 [02:09] bluefox83 any good books or college courses? [02:09] FourX4Luvn: The problems started after I resized my ext3 partition [02:09] norml_advocate, honestly? break stuff a lot...then spend hours fixing it :P [02:09] bluefox83 well im broken lets see if i fixed it [02:09] thanks [02:09] norml_advocate, there are ubuntu tutorials all over for just about everything you can think of [02:09] sign out [02:09] norml_advocate: I dunno about bluefox, but I went to the school of hard knocks.. Years of tinkering and breaking and fixing. Best advice I can give? Read a lot, tinker a little, read a lot.... ad nauseum. [02:10] if something breaks just reinstall [02:10] First it wouldn't even mount, so I replaced the superblock with a backup using testdisk and fsck, and managed to get it to mount and backed up my important stuff. It still won't boot into Ubuntu and this fsck is taking slightly longer than forever [02:10] Hi all! My k3b stopped working, and I'm getting a DCOP aborting message when I run from a terminal. [02:10] fourx4luvn good advice but i want to learn fast. im lookin for a school of soft knocks, or a nice big huge book [02:11] that starts out with linux is for computers [02:11] computers are your friend [02:11] norml_advocate: Ok. .then you'll have to be a bit more specific about what you want to learn first. [02:11] hey, I'm installing ubuntu onto my external drive yet i think i need to install a boot loader and I already have one on my hard drive, what should I do so I can boot into the external drive? [02:11] start with basics move on till i control the entire linux world [02:11] seriously [02:12] norml_advocate: For general Linux usage.. with an Ubuntu slant... http://www.amazon.com/Official-Ubuntu-Book-Benjamin-Mako/dp/0132435942 [02:12] how can i edit the name of a drive? like a flash drive or ipod?

[02:12] norml_advocate: google :) [02:12] norml_advocate: For that one I just searched for "ubuntu books" [02:13] FourX4Luvn: yeah, that book is a good introduction -- I own it [02:13] awesome [02:13] help! just removed myself from sudoers list ^^ [02:13] desertc: I've heard that.. Haven't read it, but I've heard good reviews [02:13] ubuntuuser: Have you enabled the root account? [02:13] it gets in depth with what the ubuntu project is trying to do [02:14] FourX4Luvn: don't know what that means. but no i don't have a root password [02:14] ubuntuuser: which version of ubuntu? [02:14] 7.10 [02:14] if I go in safemode will I get back the root access? [02:15] ubuntuuser: 'shutdown now' will drop you to a root prompt.. then edit the /etc/sudoers file [02:15] ubuntuuser: ok, go into recovery mode, then at the command line, type 'adduser yourname admin', but replace 'yourname' with your username [02:15] ubuntuuser: Use something like pico [02:15] ok [02:15] thanks [02:15] will try that [02:15] ubuntuuser: Or Starnestommy's method will work too [02:16] !k3b [02:16] k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto [02:16] "shutdown now" need to be root [02:16] I'll try the other option [02:16] 1st time ubuntu user...long time linux user....sound card option is not set in /boot/config....... download sources, set config optiona nd recompile or is there a better (more ubuntu) way? [02:16] anyone here using virtualbox? how much space would be a decent amount to allocate for winxp? i think im going to do the dynamic allocation thing where it reserves but doesnt use all of it in the beginning [02:16] ubuntuuser: Ahh.. Ok.. yeah, just hit 'esc' when it loads grub and select the recovery option [02:17] I will [02:17] supersako: Depends on what you want to do with Windows [02:17] supersako: I use 12GB in VMware just for testing stuff. I wouldn't use dynamic allocation again [02:17] can anybody help me with ubuntu installation? to why after i hit start installation it just crashes there? [02:18] anyone familiar with getting snd_card_hda_intel module compiled and loaded? [02:18] I have a question. [02:18] sjs from liveCD? [02:18] I want to make a minimalistic Ubuntu install on my EeePC. [02:18] supersako: I use 10 gig for mine.. but again, depends on how much you want to install to the windows machine. As dataloss said though, I wouldn't use the dynamic size. Just set the size statically (forget what it calls the other option) [02:18] desktop cd [02:18] What Desktop Environment do you suggest? [02:18] sjs: I might be able to help with this one also. [02:18] i've winxp installed tho [02:18] sjs: What processor? How much memory? [02:18] chris062689: xfce [02:18] ah i see any reason why the dynamic allocation is not smart? [02:19] erm it's a presarrio v2000 [02:19] when I have trouble installing a distro like that, its coz the drivers cant see the hardware, I just get another distro [02:19] Starnestommy: Even EeeXubuntu only leaves about 1GB on my SSD. [02:19] supersako: Compromises performance [02:19] chris062689: Minimal and desktop environment are pretty mutually exclusive terms. [02:19] chris062689: you can also try fluxbuntu at #fluxbuntu [02:19] I tried fluxbox [02:19] !who [02:19] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:19] sec let me boot it up to see what it has hmm [02:19] I couldn't get anything more than a desktop though. [02:19] I want to provide a login for a user but restrict them to only their home dir [02:19] sjs: How much memory? [02:19] thats why I use Mandriva, Fedora, Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, I use them all [02:19] 512mb [02:19] fluxbox is just a desktop [02:19] sjs: You probably are having a kernel issue with your hardware. Laptops can be especially tricky - they like to do weird things with the hardware.... [02:19] chris062689: I'd go with ubuntu-server install, then install blackbox or fluxbox [02:19] I dont want them to be able to even cd to anywhere else [02:19] I tried that. [02:19] how do I do that? [02:20] I'm getting errors when installing from a ubuntu-server install. [02:20] anyone installed warcraft 3 frozen throne? [02:20] it keeps asking for the cd [02:20] Visinoni-> do you expect them do anything in the computer? [02:20] The first thing to try is turn off a bunch of kernel features by editing the boot commandline. [02:20] the cd id inserted [02:20] no not really [02:20] I just want them to have a login [02:20] Has it ever happened to anyone where you hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and it rebooted the system instead of restarting gdm? [02:20] i want to use virtualbox for adobe master suite and visual studio 2008 but now i think bout it.. i dont want those programs ;P [02:20] Visinoni-> does that make sense? [02:20] and be able to see their own home folder [02:20] yes [02:20] !who [02:20] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:20] ! how do i do that!!!? [02:20] so they can see things in their own folder [02:20] anyone know how to get modules compiled ih ubuntu? [02:20] Crumb: what sound card do you have? [02:20] makes perfect sense [02:21] I'm going to install ubuntu on a drive that has 3 existing linuxraid (raid5) partitions. Will the installer force a format of these drives (not desired) or will the data be maintained? [02:21] dataloss: Certainly hasn't happened to me. ctrl+alt+del, yeah [02:21] <_Oz_> Hullo, Ubuntu friends! [02:21] how do I tell rsync to use a specfic private key when syncing via ssh? [02:21] robdig: thanks...its just onboard audio on an nforce card..i know the module i need...its just not enabled in the default config [02:21] something like the 'ssh -i id_rsa [02:21] reind: Partition the drive before doing the install, and during the install select 'manual partition' and just set the mount points. [02:21] Hi all! My k3b stopped working, and I'm getting a DCOP aborting message when I run from a terminal. Anybody know what's wrong? [02:21] amenado - I want them to be able to read docs I put in their folder and that's about it [02:21] Was a afraid you'd ask that. I don't have the Ubuntu CD handy to remind myself, but for most distros you hit a Fn key to get a list of kernel options you can type at the boot prompt. [02:22] FourX4Luvn: ok will do [02:22] they dont even really need to be able to edit anything in their folder... only read [02:22] robdig: long time gentoo user...looking for a simpler distro for a desktop but im used to being able to just compile my own kernel with what i want [02:22] Visinoni-> it does not make sense for anyone even to log on, just create a web site for the user to view [02:22] makes sense to me [02:22] is it possible [02:23] where do i do th at? like after i boot using the ubuntu cd? [02:23] Crumb: ok, the intel module i needed was already loaded. if you want to compile, you will need to download linux sources, plus build-essential [02:23] Crumb: You can still compile your own kernel. [02:23] Visinoni: Anything's possible. Just depends on how much you know or are willing to learn :) [02:23] grep Linux [02:23] robdig: # CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL is not set [02:23] well it doesnt seem like it would be that difficult... is it just a matter of permissions? [02:23] ok [02:23] Visinoni: If you know much about creating dynamic websites though, then it wouldn't be too hard [02:23] Probably when GRUB is up and showing a list of options (install Ubuntu, memory test, media test, etc) [02:23] I dont want to create a website... I Want them to be restricted to their home folder [02:23] lyag: thanks [02:23] hi all [02:23] that's all [02:24] robdig: thaks ill go get the sources and build the module [02:24] FourX4Luvn: Seems I'm a magnet for rare problems. I was checking out how stable Ubuntu is. I was restarting gdm that way once a week, just to free up RAM. It ran well for 3 months, and the next ctrl+alt+backspace restarted the system for some odd reason. It said in the console that the system's going to reboot. It wasn't a crash or anything [02:24] Visinoni: Oh [02:24] I'm not sure what that has to do with what I want... [02:24] dataloss: Remind me not to have you play with my computers then. ;-) [02:24] how do i uninstall a module?? [02:24] @_@ [02:24] I want them to log in... see their home folder, and if they try to access anything else, they are denied [02:24] Crumb: i made one typo, the linux source is called linux-source [02:25] I'm not sure why this is such a nonsensical idea [02:25] Visinoni: Someone suggested to you that you just create a website to display their documents to them.. I thought that's what you were asking about. [02:25] no [02:25] <_Oz_> If I want to try KDE but easily be able to go back to gnome, what's the best way to do that? [02:25] use 'modprobe -r modulename' [02:25] hmm let me try (installing it on my laptop, using another pc atm) btw my presario v2000 is running on a pentium M 1.5ghz 512mb shared [02:25] robdig: found it already thanks...was just trying to use default install...appreciate the help [02:25] i dont want to create a website [02:25] Visinoni: what's this for? [02:25] Visinoni: Look at chroot then. Chroot each user to their own 'jail' [02:25] Visinoni-> and what tools do you expect the user to view their home directory? files there [02:25] Visinoni, Login with ssh? [02:25] koresko thats to unload it from the kernel, i want to remove from my system to re-create it from scratch [02:25] it's for my coworkers to have a directory on my server [02:25] I think the hardware spces should be fine [02:25] every time ive heard people wanting to chroot users into their home dirs.. they come back later saying it was more of a pain then it was worth. [02:26] Crumb: np problem, good luck [02:26] k [02:26] forget it then [02:26] anyone use audacity? [02:26] Visinoni-> it does not make sense, [02:26] Hey all, I need a quick bit of help on IRC. Could you explain to me how to switch to a new server and channel please? [02:26] if the permissions are set on the other files/dirs - the users cant hurt the other dirs/files [02:26] Yoda, /server whatever [02:26] Dr_willis: True.. FreeBSD's jail option would be better, but alas.... [02:26] Crumb: sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:26] alright, thanks [02:26] Yoda, for the rest.. read the irc client docs for your cient [02:26] k i'm at GRUB and pressing the Fn key isn't doing anything! [02:26] compy, I've used it. I'm no expert, but ask your question. [02:27] FourX4Luvn, degrees of paranoia i guess. :) [02:27] any mono users out there? what do i do with a .so file? [02:27] <_Oz_> Is that dude who was having the GRUB problem still around? === pablo is now known as yop [02:27] !build-essential [02:27] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) === yop is now known as yo [02:27] hola [02:27] <_Oz_> !aptitude [02:27] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [02:27] hello [02:27] wait i pressed F1 and it says this is a live cd for ubuntu. did i get the wrong image file? [02:27] Hilikus: Sorry, wrong context I guess. Do you mean you actually want to recompile your kernel module? [02:27] hello, im trying to back up some pictures that are on my desktop running ubuntu live but it says i have no rights to copy them. what i can do? [02:27] <_Oz_> g a b e [02:27] Dr_willis: True. [02:27] <_Oz_> hello [02:27] koresko exactly [02:27] dsnyders, so im trying to record streamed sound but it wont... ie i dont think my input device is right [02:27] <_Oz_> If I want to try KDE but easily be able to go back to gnome, what's the best way to do that? [02:28] and i have no clue what device it should be [02:28] #wbm [02:28] shiwaraya-> the partition is mounted ? [02:28] _Oz_: 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' [02:28] Anyone care to lend me a hand with my sound problem? I think what I need to do it repair/revert my drivers/conifg but I don't know how to go about that. [02:28] i'm switching over from windows to ubuntu on my desktop and i'm haveing a problem with the wireless networking [02:28] alguien q sabe de un equivalente a flsh en feisty [02:28] I mixx and match kde and gnome - so i always have kubuntu-dekstop and ubuntu-desktop both installed. [02:28] You'll need the kernel sources and tools to do that. Are you sure you need to? What exactly are you trying to accomplish (install a patch?) [02:28] now removing the kde stuff.. can be a issue later _Oz_ [02:28] flash [02:28] and it's showing a list of options F1-F10 like prereq for running ubuntu, special boot parameters etc. [02:28] <_Oz_> fourx4luvn: shouldn't I use aptitude to install that? Anyway, how can I easily go back to my CURRENT gnome desktop [02:28] <_Oz_> ? [02:28] _Oz_: Then, at gdm login screen select options, sessions (I think it is) and select KDE [02:28] amenado, yes, i can copy some files, but some others semms to have different rights, especially pictures [02:29] _Oz_, use aptitude to install kiubuntu-dekstop, that may make it easier to remove kde later. [02:29] Special boot parameters sounds like what you want. You should be able to control a number of things about how the kernel behaves. [02:29] _Oz_, the gdm or kdm login tool has a menu for what desktop to use [02:29] Now fsck is showing hundreds of numbers. I don't what all this is [02:29] <_Oz_> aptitude has better control over all the unused dependencies, right? [02:29] I wonder how long this is gonna take. It's been 7 hours already [02:29] shiwaraya-> the partition is mounted both source and destination? and you were doing this as sudo when in liveCd ? [02:29] _Oz_: Dr_willis Is probably right. apt-get will work, but aptitude is probably better if you thik you're going to remove it later [02:29] <_Oz_> dr_willis: I am afraid I won't be able to get back to my gnome install. Is this an irrational fear? [02:29] <_Oz_> fourx4luvn: very good [02:29] compy, I don't believe audacity is the right tool for the job. It's more for editing sound files, ie cutting and pasting sound bites. [02:29] dataloss-> a sign of dying hard disk [02:30] _Oz_, get back? whats to get back to? You tgell gdm to go to KDE or GNOME.. there ya go. [02:30] koresko im trying to recompile the lirc_pvr150 module, the gutsy version is supposed to do what i need but i manually compiled it when i was using feisty, i upgraded today and the module segfaults when i load it so im suspecting the dist upgrade didnt upgrade it cause i manually compile it in feisty [02:30] dsnyders, do you know of a nix program? [02:30] select gnome session ya get gnome.. select kde session ya get kde. [02:30] Typically when there's a hang on boot it's because of ACPI or APM, but if you send the list of params I will try to guess which ones are worth trying first. [02:30] i have a mac and they have a few but are 60 bucks [02:30] amenado: I tried smartctl and it showed everything is okay [02:30] amenado-> how can i run as sudo the graphic folder browser? [02:30] <_Oz_> !gdm [02:30] go on! [02:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:30] koresko so i want to remove it completely and let SOMETHING install the standard module from gutsy [02:30] compy, what is your source? What kind of stream is it? [02:30] dataloss-> then if you trust smartctl, go forward [02:31] <_Oz_> thanks, dr_willis. [02:31] Dr_willis: Not sure, but I think he's asking if he can remove kde completely if he decides he doesn't like it. Not necessarily how to log back into gnome [02:31] wav [02:31] shiwaraya-> gksudo [02:31] or uhh actually i dotn know [02:31] I set up a new GNOME theme and now I have much wider window boarders. Nice tweak for people with very high resolution monitors. [02:31] amenado: Well everything was okay. It got messed up after I resized my partition. [02:31] oops, I uninstalled something... what package do I need to have window borders? [02:31] skype conversations [02:31] radio [02:31] <_Oz_> does compiz work well with kde? [02:31] shiwaraya-> btw try to learn the command line okay? [02:31] Hm, you think your installed copy of the module might be corrupted then? [02:31] _Oz_, it can work with kde. :) [02:31] amenado: And the drive is hardly 4 months old [02:31] shiwaraya: gksu nautilus, don't use sudo (use gksu). And remember, close it as soon as you can. [02:31] Hello. [02:31] koresko yes [02:31] I think KDE4 uses compiz by default now, no? [02:31] Is there anyone here that can help me with a grub boot error? [02:31] koresko it was fine for the older kernel [02:32] but i upgraded today [02:32] amenado-> thanks, but what is the aplication for browsing folders: gksudo _____? [02:32] and it stopped workinf [02:32] kde4 does NOT use compiz. it has similer features however [02:32] oh.. ok [02:32] tx Flannel i didnt read u [02:32] dataloss-> oh well, as i have said if you trust it, go forward, carry on [02:32] ... [02:32] Oh wait, you mean you compiled it for the Feisty kernel and are trying to use the same binary for the Gutsy kernel? That certainly would fail. [02:32] im chatting on a spare pentium I and lines come very slow :) [02:32] shiwaraya-> per Flannel its gksu nautilus my type gksudo [02:32] #techpowerup [02:33] opps [02:33] koresko im not sure [02:33] shiwaraya-> per Flannel its gksu nautilus my typo* gksudo [02:33] compy, I'm not sure. I know mplayer can play streams, and can dump to a file, but I don't know if it can do both at the same time. [02:33] hi. I'd like to check the setup of my sound card, but I can'r find alsaconf anywhere. I already installed the alsa-utils package. Any hints? [02:33] aww ok [02:33] dsnyders: It cannot. One or the other. [02:33] ill check some out at google [02:34] koresko i just want to make sure that the module is the new default module and no the patched one i created for feisty [02:34] Can someone tell me if there is a way to repair/revert my sound drivers and config rather than reinstall the entire OS? [02:34] so what do i do about ACPI or APM? what kinda param do i need? [02:34] amenado--> thanks very much, i got it [02:35] shiwaraya-> you're welcome, again try to learn command lines and not rely too much on gui [02:35] Hm, the modules for a given kernel version are normally installed in /lib/modules/kernelversion so there isn't much chance the wrong one would get loaded unless you did something weird. [02:35] hi I am stuck in the shutdown process it is showing will restart but nothing is happening [02:35] koresko i see [02:35] Hi all! My k3b stopped working, and I'm getting a DCOP aborting message when I run from a terminal. Anybody else having this problem? [02:35] <_Oz_> dr_willis: re KDE and compiz, is it... not ideal? Is compiz best utilized in the gnome desktop? [02:35] From (vague, unreliable) memory, ACPI=off, APM=off. [02:35] hey, my little battery button went away on my notification area... how do I get it back?? [02:36] krammer-> press the on/off switch for a few secs [02:36] I backed up on different partition all that i needed from my home folder, do i need to back up something else [02:36] tushyd: Did it go away because your battery is fully charged? Or you mean it's completely absent? [02:36] ive tried that and rebooted then i tried to c if it would do it again and it did [02:36] _Oz_, i dont find compiz that useable at times... [02:36] shiwaraya-> only the ones you consider important [02:36] I've seen some modules segfault if they're given the wrong params. [02:36] FourX4Luvn... I'm a moron. [02:36] thanks anyways! [02:37] _Oz_, and kde4 is working on their own alternative. so use it if you want. just dont get too addicted to it. :) [02:37] tushyd: No worries. [02:37] Could that be happening here? You could test by loading the module from the commandline. [02:37] amenado--> i will follow your tip, i got into ubuntu pretty fast and even though i can do many advanced things i did not know live version needed to run sudo, i forgot also the browser was nautilus [02:38] koresko i dont give it any arguments, just modprobe lirc_pvr150 [02:38] <_Oz_> dr_willis: many of the plugins I find really useful. I love the desktop cube "flicker" using the scroll wheel at the edges of the screen. And I love being able to scroll through applications with that enlarged thingie. [02:38] amenado--> tx again, im ready to reinstall then [02:38] Is there anything interesting in your dmesg or /var/log/modules (you can 'tail' them to see) [02:38] <_Oz_> kde4 is working on a compiz clone? [02:38] <_Oz_> to be used solely in kde4? [02:38] <_Oz_> Sometimes I wonder if there are too many variants of ubuntu. [02:39] hah! [02:39] _Oz_: kde4's window manager has an opengl composite manager similar to compiz, yes [02:39] too many variants of Linux, period.. but then that's the freedom of choice, eh? [02:39] mino: bla [02:39] <_Oz_> edubuntu, xubuntu, edubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu, ubuntu-orangehat, etc [02:39] <_Oz_> fourX4Luvn: hey, it's all (well, mostly) free, that's all I care about. [02:40] ubuntu-orangehat? WTH? Ubuntu with RPM instead of .deb? [02:40] geobuntu? [02:40] but they all have /root /etc/passwd /etc/group [02:40] <_Oz_> If I could figure out a way to move on from photoshop and illustrator, I'd be open-source in all things. [02:40] _Oz_-> look into blender and inkscape [02:40] oh wow [02:40] firestarter is awesome [02:40] _Oz_: gimp [02:40] blender for photos? Umm.. no [02:40] and gimp [02:40] so like i press F6 (other options) then it's "Boot Options t=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quietsplash --" [02:41] !gimpshop [02:41] gimpshop is a hack that makes The Gimp look and feel more like Photoshop. A .deb for Ubuntu is available via http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294 [02:41] and the gimp is great for beginning stuff.. but it doesn't begin to touch Photoshop when it comes to advanced editing, sorry. [02:41] now my keyboard doesnt even work in a chat area any thoughts ??? [02:41] then ACPI=off? [02:41] It might be worth a shot [02:41] _Oz_, i find the cube useless.. The wife does like the zoom in feature. and the invert feature. Other then those 2.. i dont use the rest [02:41] other question, when i start live cd, i always choose manually o ran VGA1024x768 but the screen goes 1280x1024 and installs on that resolution. is this a common problem? [02:42] <_Oz_> lyag: yeah, I've messed around with gimp. It's not bad, but... well... photoshop is pretty hard to beat. [02:42] Unfortunately I have to go with _Oz_ on that one and say there's no equivelant in the FOSS world for Photoshop [02:42] i installed windows xp after installing ubuntu and lost the grub thing and dont have high speed so i cant get an alternate cd but i have a fat32 partition in which i can copy files to but this live cd wont allow me to copy paste those files from my previous ubuntu installation! it copies the folder but never the contents!! [02:42] <_Oz_> photoshop is the industry standard. [02:42] so? [02:42] Believe me, I'd LOVE to ditch Adobe, too. [02:42] still freezes after trying either one of them :( [02:42] <_Oz_> Yeah, gimp is about... oh... 50% of what photoshop is. === magical_trevsky is now known as MRDANGER [02:42] ubuntu_ do you have the live-cd? [02:42] _Oz_, photoshop really beats up on my checkbook also... [02:42] _Oz_, i will stick with gimp. :) [02:42] _Oz_: Yes and windowd is the defacto standard too, but ask me if I care. [02:42] danbhfive: im using ubuntu 7.10 live cd [02:43] exactly [02:43] !fixgrub | ubuntu_ [02:43] ubuntu_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[02:43] lyag: Difference here is Linux is more capable than the standard.. but the imaging standard is still the best out there [02:43] its all about going against industry standards === gimme_snuggles is now known as meekolope [02:43] winword sorry, I misspelled it. [02:43] and doing better without them [02:43] freely [02:43] koresko ok, ill try that [02:43] i have kiba dock running and its stuck in the top corner and will not move, how do i get it to move [02:43] <_Oz_> lyag: it's not that it's the industry standard for that sake alone, it's just... far, FAR better than anything out there. FAR better. [02:43] <_Oz_> gimp is... well... nice. [02:44] Hm. Have you googled for 'linux' and your PC's model number? Sometimes that'll turn up a page with info on how to get the box to boot. [02:44] <_Oz_> But if you're a graphics professional, you MUST use photoshop. [02:44] do i have to make a new grub?? cant i just copy the files...i have no floppies [02:44] I will need a good example that proves adobes superiority [02:44] <_Oz_> ubuntu_: http://apcmag.com/dualboot [02:44] fevel: Do any pro level work with Gimp and you'll see [02:44] and not that cmyk bull [02:44] ubuntu_: if you can boot the live cd, you are all set [02:44] <_Oz_> ubuntu_: there are instructions there for getting GRUB back [02:44] pro level work [02:44] ?? [02:44] !duelboot [02:44] whats that? [02:44] Exactly my point :) [02:44] I'm still thinking about what other params to try. Sometimes changing the way the IRQs are assigned can help (e.g., turning off APIC) [02:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about duelboot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:44] danbhfive: omg, im saved! :D [02:44] _Oz_: Better stick with MS Windows then. [02:44] <_Oz_> ubuntu_: that is normal when you install ubuntu first and XP second... generally it's much easier to install XP FIRST and ubuntu second [02:45] <_Oz_> lyag: I dual-boot. It's the only way, really. [02:45] when i start live cd, i always choose manually o ran VGA1024x768 but the screen goes 1280x1024 and installs on that resolution. is this a common problem? i cannot change the resolution after install [02:45] _Oz_: i no but im trying to share an internet connection and went to windows as a temporary solution [02:45] youll have to boot up from live cd and reinstall grub [02:45] gimp is fine for cropping and layers and such.. [02:45] ubuntu: Oz is right about that, you will have to boot up a live cd and install grub or lilo to the MBR [02:45] <_Oz_> I love Ubuntu and Linux. It's one of the areas that are really hard for open-source companies to close the gap in. Adobe has such a huge lead, and they have a huge staff working on the product. It's a tough task for Linux to try to compete in that department. [02:45] _Oz_: Yep, that's what I have on my laptop. But have KVM switch here and to PCs [02:45] ubuntu_ : for a full fix that is [02:46] check out #wbm 's webcast guys there is like over 300 people watching it its like crazyness [02:46] _Oz_: I dont believe you [02:46] _Oz_: I think youre lying [02:46] i have kiba dock running and its stuck in the top corner and will not move, how do i get it to move [02:46] <_Oz_> ubuntu_: you'll be able to get ubuntu and GRUB back. M$ likes to trample every other OS... linux is respectful of other installations, M$ is not. So follow the instructions in that tutorial and your dual boot will be back. [02:46] _Oz_: But the Linux OS is far better in many many ways. I rarely use MS Windows. [02:46] OZ wtf [02:47] its superior in every way === _mcp is now known as mcp [02:47] <_Oz_> lyag: I agree with you. [02:47] _Oz_: it seems youve read that off a magazine [02:47] <_Oz_> Read what? [02:47] i still prefer slackware :p ubuntu though for my desktop [02:47] <_Oz_> My man, I make a living in Adobe Photoshop. I've used it since Photoshop 2.0. :) [02:47] <_Oz_> I love Ubuntu and Linux. It's one of the areas that are really hard for open-source companies to close the gap in. Adobe has such a huge lead, and they have a huge staff working on the product. It's a tough task for Linux to try to compete in that department. [02:47] I dont see their lead [02:47] oh [02:47] <_Oz_> fevel: that is the truth. [02:48] you mean users? [02:48] <_Oz_> Oh, they have a huge lead. [02:48] <_Oz_> Trust me. [02:48] wtf man use the Gimp [02:48] lead in wat? [02:48] <_Oz_> Gimp is cool. No professional worth his salt will choose it over Photoshop. Sorry. [02:48] fevel: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/features/allfeatures/ [02:48] ubuntu_: u understand that? [02:48] lol [02:48] u can do lots with the gimp [02:48] u just need to rtfm [02:48] exactly [02:48] meekolope: understand wat? [02:49] _Oz_: I guarentee you...that is not the truth [02:49] You might also try turning on 'irqpoll' (kernel boot parameter) [02:49] Ok.. show me where you can do.. just as an example, something like CS3's Movie Paint in the gimp [02:49] if you tell me more graphics professionals use adobe rather than gimp, then I believe you [02:49] If you're not sure what that is, check out the link I just posted [02:49] but they just grew up on that [02:49] !ot | sada fevel _Oz_ please try to take it to offtopic [02:49] sada fevel _Oz_ please try to take it to offtopic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:49] <_Oz_> fevel, I think you misunderstand me. I think Linux is far superior to M$ Windows. No two ways about it. But in INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS, sometimes the Windows is superior and it'll be a long time before any open source company can begin to close the gap. Photoshop is one of those mammoth products with many years of development that will be virtually impossible to beat with an open-source offering. [02:50] <_Oz_> Right. Sorry, danbhfive. You are absolutely correct. [02:50] no I undrtstand...you just like ps! Dont get me wrong either [02:50] im not tryong to be rude or anything [02:50] <_Oz_> No offense taken. [02:50] Nor I.. just so it's known [02:50] you guys rock [02:50] just a little discussion =D [02:50] I just have to take _Oz_'s side here, even though I'd love to kick Adobe to the curb [02:51] a little itty flame =P [02:51] where can I get the w3c plugin for gedit? [02:51] hello [02:51] I just want my Good old Deluxe Paint - from the Amiga days.. for Linux! :0 I dont need Photoshop to edit my icons. :) [02:51] Amiga! [02:51] i am QUIET offended sirs! [02:51] <_Oz_> Ah! Amiga. Videotoaster. [02:51] <_Oz_> Great memories. [02:51] Rock on Amiga fans! [02:51] I recommend a duel! [02:51] <_Oz_> Okay, too much offtopic chatter, my friends. [02:52] <_Oz_> We will get booted if we don't cut it and get back to business. [02:52] I just think you can do every thing on gimp...but not off the box though...needs some tinckering and stuff [02:52] Right [02:52] cut cut [02:52] Who has a problem they need help with? [02:52] I do belive i saw a deluxpaint clone at one time . ages ago for linux.. but cant rember its name [02:52] anyone recall seeing one?

I was told to turn on nodeadkeys, so I ended up just googling it and writing it in to my xorg.conf. however, the problem still remains. I don't look as 'professional' typing with lowercase letters. :( [02:53] Does anyone know how to set up java in firefox [02:53] "Error (camorama) 'Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0).

[02:57] I said I want UBUNTU on my iBook g3. [02:57] omegachaos: I dont...try opening a directory with 10000 files on finder [02:57] So install it :) [02:58] My iMAC makes an awsome doorstop!

[03:12] fevel: right now when I try and reinstall none of my partitions show up. It's because I have a wonky mbr I think. [03:12] ok meekolope [03:12] :D [03:12] Hi, since the LiveCD is loaded into RAM, can't I eject the disc while I'm on the live session?

[03:13] Nissan_350Z: grab the bittorrent for it and download it over the span of 5 or 6 nights like I used to do, or find a friend with dsl/cable : [03:13] Hey spud, you think it could be a X crash? [03:13] I have windows vista currently. I blew away gutsy already. [03:13] Any other live distro that'll let me eject the disc? [03:13] ubuntu_: it is not all loaded into RAM, just parts of it. You would need a lot mroe RAM if the entire CD were to be loaded into RAM. [03:13] so you can log into vista? [03:13] I suppose I could boot into windows and use fdisk /mbr [03:13] How do I reconfigure my keyboard, in a similar manner to the way you configure the utility in the alternate install with the ncurses interface?

[03:13] ubuntu_: still the Live CD is designed to be used in as little as 200 megs or so. [03:13] codename:sounds like you have it set for you to log on after the sceer saver comes on [03:13] billytwowilly: are you trying to install ubuntu on another partition?

[03:14] I know, but I wasn't idle. [03:14] and my wireless works now [03:14] you like that? [03:14] huh? [03:14] do ya? [03:14] billytwowilly: no [03:14] ubuntu_: I don't know, I haven't tried them. [03:14] How do I reconfigure my keyboard, in a similar manner to the way you configure the utility in the alternate install with the ncurses interface? [Which of the following keys does your keyboard have, that kind of thing]? I have done it before, and have tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but none of that works [03:14] linux is the bomb [03:14] fevel: I will be I had it originally. I think I can just boot into windows and blow it away that way. [03:14] Sigh! Anybody know an alternative to k3b? [03:14] !ubuntu [03:14] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [03:14] hmm. damnit, I can't because I don't have grub installed anymore.

[03:15] ubuntu_, boot the livecd, run the app(s) you like from the cd and then remove it, it may work [03:15] code name: ahh I just came to read and see your comment it's best to wait for someone who knows better than me just thought I could help [03:15] billytwowilly: knew it [03:15] kostkon: The eject button's not working [03:15] hey [03:15] all [03:15] I need to write DVDs [03:15] I'm running Ubuntu 7.10...just compiled the latest alsa drivers from a snapshot in hope of getting my creative X-FI soundcard to work..when I try to load the module (after a successful compilation, I get errors saying uknown symbol...how do I go about fixing this? [03:15] fevel: so tell me how to blow away the mbr then. [03:16] bye guys thanks a bunch! [03:16] :D [03:16] billytwowilly: replace with a windows mbr you mean? not just "blow away" [03:16] ubuntu_: you may be able to create a ramdisk and copy the live CD image to it, then switch over, but I honestly don't know how to do that, I've never tried. [03:16] kostkon: What happens if you just type 'eject' in a terminal? [03:16] billytwowilly: just boot from ubuntu live cd reinstall it on a blank partition, it will automtically locate vista partition and add it to grub [03:16] how do I open a folder in terminal [03:16] never mind, I worked it out... (bit noisy in here) [03:16] i did the dir [03:16] billytwowilly: just DONT BLOW YOUR VISTA PARTITION [03:16] Klowner, no I don't care what it does. I just want it gone. Doesn't have to be windows mbr, just has to have current mbr obliterated. [03:16] How do I reconfigure my keyboard, in a similar manner to the way you'd use the configure utility in the alternate install (with the ncurses interface)? ["Which of the following keys does your keyboard have", that kind of thing]? I have done it before, and have tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but none of that works [03:16] koresko, no clue [03:16] k I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu then to write my CDs before I format yet once again [03:16] how can i check what version of xorg xserver i have? [03:17] how do you properly remove a usb disk so that every time i re-mount it i have to "reset the $logfile" [03:17] fevel: yah, I know. I'm not a linux idiot. I've been using linux for a decade and a half. [03:17] : because at the time of the incident I was watching a video and doing the desktop effects. I was not Idle. [03:17] I just wan the simple answer to "how do I delete my mbr?" [03:17] cant see the problem then [03:17] I was watching a video and doing the cube at the time. I was not idle. [03:18] can anyone help me with VNC? If I try to open synaptic manager, or wait a few minutes, it freezes my linux box... [03:18] I am a linux idiot that came to the good side a few days ago [03:18] I have a question, what does it mean, if your desktop suddenly goes to a black screen, like it does right before it boots up, and then it takes you back to the login screen? I was not Idle, possibly a X crash? [03:18] billytwowilly: so write zeroes to it using dd [03:18] ubuntu_: maybe you can borrow a friend's computer, heh. I would give knoppix a try, though. I still don't know if it will let you eject the CD. [03:18] hey guys in feisty and installed everything but all of a sudden gimp-svg plugin is no longer aviable any solutions? [03:18] pajamian: I could, but the files I need to write are on my hard disk [03:18] newbuntu2: you copied my name [03:18] Klowner: ok, how do I do that? [03:18] codename: I'm new to ubuntu myself lol so your guess is as good as mine>i'm a noob also.thats why I'm here to read lol [03:19] How do I reconfigure my keyboard, in a similar manner to the way you'd use the configure utility in the alternate install (with the ncurses interface)? ["Which of the following keys does your keyboard have", that kind of thing]? I have done it before, and have tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but none of that works. Anyone? [03:19] ohh nice [03:19] I've used Ubuntu for about a year now [03:19] How do you find a folder in terminal and go to it [03:19] buttt first time this has happened to me [03:19] ubuntu_: check distrowatch, you may be able to find a distro there you can use. [03:19] codename: how can i check what version of xorg xserver i'm using? [03:19] okay [03:19] billytwowilly: you need to retain the partition table though? [03:19] codename I would say you were not touching any keys or the mouse and it went off vlc used to do this to me in windows [03:20] fevel: I have two cheap ps/2 keyboards, but I don't have a converter or port on my computer [03:20] i need to find my desktop a folder then open the install file [03:20] asiest way is to just look at Xorg.0.log [03:20] thank you :) [03:20] Klowner: yes, I need the partition table. [03:20] sneedly, cd ~/Desktop [03:20] : easiest way to check your Xorg.0.log file [03:20] np newbuntu [03:20] :D [03:20] you know how to do that right? [03:21] once i find it, gpedit it [03:21] I think I had VLC going. [03:21] billytwowilly: I think dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourdrive bs=466 count=1 would do it, I think.. [03:21] or [03:21] eekrano: ty I have been at a cmd promp since i was 6 windows kill more of my brain cell than pot [03:21] billytwowilly: that should erase the code area of the MBR, according to wikipedia [03:22] Klowner: You don't sound very confident;) [03:22] codename check your settings in both vlc and the screensaver settings might help [03:22] xrandr dual head question... This works... [03:22] xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1600x1200 --right-of VGA-0 [03:22] on an ATI radeon 9550 - but seeming settings in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf don't.. [03:22] How do I become a Documentation Member? [03:22] sneedly, welcome back =) [03:22] <_Oz_> koolkat: join #ubuntu-dev [03:22] billytwowilly: well the mbr contains the partition table as well, but I'm pretty sure the partition table is the last 66 bytes of the 512B mbr [03:23] hey newbuntu22 [03:23] codename there was always a glitsh with vlc I think it was to disable the screen saver option in vlc [03:23] _Oz_: Im wondering because I post alot of stuff in the help.ubuntu.com [03:23] codename: yes? [03:23] newbuntu22 if this helps /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:23] thats where it is [03:23] :D [03:23] billytwowilly: to be safe, you could dd if=/dev/yourdrive of=mbr_backup.img bs=512 count=1 and copy it off somewhere safe [03:23] <_Oz_> koolkat: we'd be pleased to have you in that case. [03:23] Guys, have a general question...what causes errors about Unknown Symbols when trying to load a module? I'm getting some when trying to load alsa-modules [03:23] thanks codename.. i just used search, but that would have been easier.. thanks again :) [03:23] It will tell ypu :D [03:23] Sorry about that [03:24] billytwowilly: then write the zeroes, and if it somehow fails miserably, just write the backup back ala dd if=mbr_backup.img of=/dev/yourdrive [03:24] newbuntu22 next time as well you can do it through terminal [03:24] newbuntu22 nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:24] Is there a command for echoing driver information? [03:24] How do I reconfigure my keyboard, in a similar manner to the way you'd use the configure utility in the alternate install (with the ncurses interface)? ["Which of the following keys does your keyboard have", that kind of thing]? I have done it before, and have tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but none of that works [03:24] Klowner: Sweet! I think that did it! [03:24] codename: i'll try it this time to see how it works.. thank you [03:24] I'm expericing problems loading snd-bt-sco on 7.10; It has problems locating symbols - I'm running Kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (2.6.22-14.52 gutsy), any suggestions? [03:25] hey guys, i've got a quick question about installing apps. when you save a .tar.gz file, where are you supposed to save it? [03:26] now the hard part i need to open a folder on the desktop I tried the samething but its not liking life? am i just a shitty typer [03:26] billytwowilly: for using linux since it was 2 years old, one would think you'd be more familiar with dd, but I'm glad it worked ;) [03:26] codename: i see i'm using 1.3.0.. supposedly a bug was fixed in xorg xserver 1.4.1... i want to update but (1) which download should i choose from synaptic package manager? (just the xserver-xorg or one of the hundreds of other options?) and (2) is there any way for me to 'roll back' the install if i have problems?? [03:26] sneedly: You're in ~/Desktop, right? [03:26] have a good evening all [03:26] outsane: wherever you want, I usually save them to my home directory. [03:26] yeah [03:26] I would try the Synaptic, that's your best bet. [03:26] anyone? looking for a command line command to return video driver info [03:26] newbuntu22: I would try the Synaptic, that's your best bet. [03:27] WHOLY SHIT ITS LINUS [03:27] bwahahahahaha [03:27] HE JUST JOINED [03:27] ??? [03:27] jk [03:27] haha [03:27] sneedly, try the first part of the name then ... (autocomplete) (spaces and suck need to be escaped) [03:27] Klowner: crap, you're right, it was 97 ish, which is 11 years, not the better part of 15 [03:27] my bad. [03:27] newbuntu22: You'll need to wait for the new version (hardy) to get 1.4.1, Gutsy has (and always will have) 1.3.0 [03:27] pajamian: i tried that, but when i install them i never know where they go or where i'm supposed to install them. i've been using the synapic package manager up till now, and i've looked at guides and even though i follow the directions the apps never work [03:27] billytwowilly: heh, about when I started I think [03:27] <_Oz_> Linus Torvald is in the channel, folks. [03:27] Linus I got some questions. [03:27] outsane: what app are you trying to install from source, and why? [03:28] he is always here [03:28] I've been using the user friendly distros though;) Redhat, then suse, then ubuntu [03:28] Are you making a new Kernel as we speak? [03:28] !System Information Commands [03:28] !offtopic | codename [03:28] codename: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:28] not me [03:28] I never used linux because I wanted to, I used it because I hated the windows licence... Linux just recently got good enough to not make me regret that decision.. [03:28] hi, does any know how to install ati graphic drivers? [03:28] flannel: thanks for the information.. how will i get hardy when it is released? will it show up on the 'update manager' ? [03:28] Soooo a 1337 Java Scripter Walks into a bar. [03:28] eekrano, hmm didnt do anything [03:28] newbuntu22: When hardy is released, you'll be notified in Update Manager, yeah. [03:29] billytwowilly: actually 1999 for me, now that I check the SuSE release history [03:29] codename lol [03:29] Yep [03:29] flannel: thank you :) [03:29] Hardy will be amazing. [03:29] i am.. as the name implies. a newbaby [03:29] pajamian: well, i've just been trying small things to try to teach myself, but they never work. i wanted to go with unimportant apps so that if i screwed them up it wouldn't matter, you know? [03:29] Heh, Linux Torvald ... connecting from a Telecom Indonesia IP ... yeah, right. [03:29] eekrano, same cd ~/install {then tab} [03:29] I'm having a bit of trouble here - I've tried using this channel multiple times over the last few years and rarely do I get anything like a response... [03:29] errr Linus [03:29] sneedly, try hitting twice. If there are multiple matches it will list them to help you [03:29] Klowner: I don't think suse was even around when I started using linux... [03:29] Have any of you ever used a monitor at a resolution around 1680x1050? [03:29] pajamian: he spelled his name incorrectly too ;) [03:30] this channel is full of noise, here's some more === linus-torvald is now known as hans-reiser [03:30] why will hardy be so good? [03:30] billytwowilly: 1.0 in '94 [03:30] my first exposure to linux was suse 6.3 [03:31] Klowner: mine was redhat 4.2 or 5. It was crap;) [03:31] no matter what I do, I did the a2enmod userdir forced restart but it wont show user pages, whats the correct perms for public_html? [03:31] heh [03:31] outsane: ok, well usually they will install in the /usr/local directory, and you can specify the install location for most source packages in the ./configure state by specifying a --prefix=/path/to/where/you/want/it/installed [03:31] Hey guys, can somebody give me a hand? I am currently running of the live portion of a dvd for the 64-bit AMD version of Ubuntu. And as I am trying to install the operating sytem to the second partition of my hard drive, I am getting a "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." error. I have my single hard drive partitioned in 4 parts. With one 30gb for Vista, and two 10gb partitions for Ubuntu and fu [03:31] eekrano, I dont know what happened but I got there ( I think) [03:31] sneedly, hitting tab twice there would list the contents of the ~/install folder [03:31] mzuverink: your usual user perms [03:31] outsane: for example, if I were going to install pidgin from source and wanted it in the /usr/local/pidgin directory then I would do: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pidgin [03:32] nickrud, ok [03:32] hehe. if you do the command `pwd` what is the output? [03:32] eekrano, no its a really long name install_flash_player_9_linux [03:32] I can't for the life of me run amule as user [03:32] chapocero: at some point you need to identify a partition as ' / ' [03:32] Trel: does 1600x1200 count? [03:32] I assume so [03:32] hello all [03:32] Do you see any compiz performance issues? [03:33] I have tried uninstall and reinstall [03:33] pajamian: whenever i tried the ./configure it didn't work. i did the gunzip it worked fine, and then (as far as i know) the next step is to do ./configure in that directory, right? it just doesn't work. [03:33] does anyone know how to make f-spot scan for new files in the Photos directory? [03:33] Trel: ah, I don't use compiz.. too slow [03:33] I'm fairly certain this onboard video is going to struggle with it, but I was just curious if anyone else had seen some fade in/fade out issues. [03:33] dark-knight: ls -ld ~/.aMule , what's the permissions on that? [03:33] outsane: usually if ./configure doesn't work it means you are missing libraries on your computer that are needed to compile the program. [03:33] outsane, what error it gave u [03:33] !doesntwork [03:33] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [03:33] sneedly, attempts to complete whatever it is you are typeing, so you must first start typing "inst" then should fill in the file name [03:34] icesword: i believe it said that there was nothing to configure, i'm trying to get back to the window right now [03:34] any f-spot users? [03:34] nickrud drwx------ 4 [03:34] heheh [03:34] dark-knight: and you're the user, not root? [03:34] nickrud, it still says dir/~user not founf, any idea? [03:34] right [03:34] how do i fix this? "FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko)" [03:34] Anyone able to tell me how to find my video driver Version? [03:35] outsane: you usually have to install lots of extra -dev packages to get a program to compile from source. [03:35] mzuverink: did you restart apache? I simply did sudo a2enmod userdir [03:35] Trel: I have an nvidia geforce gt 7600 and it stutters a bit when beginning a window drag, etc. [03:35] Is anyone familiar with DCOP? [03:35] nickrud, forced restart [03:35] dark-knight: try moving that dir [03:35] outsane: if that program has a source package in one of the ubuntu repositories then there is a command that makes installing those packages a lot easier, but I forget what it is (unfortunately). [03:36] as user or root? [03:36] mzuverink: and you went to localhost/~user [03:36] nickrud, yes [03:36] Klowner: This is just a 945G onboard video system. EXA acceleration helps a great deal, but it is still a bit shaky from time to time. [03:36] dark-knight: if it's owned by you, you can remove it [03:36] Trel: I don't think it's a resolution issue so much though.. I attribute it more to compiz immaturity [03:36] pajamian: how do i know if i need more packages to make another work? [03:37] mzuverink: I don't know what would be causing that. wierd [03:37] nickrud, doing a hardrest [03:37] That might be the case. I still think the resolution is going to play a role as the system seems to struggle more with higher resolutions. [03:37] No great surprise there though. [03:37] what does :Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the [03:37] Adobe Flash Player installer. [03:37] mean in english [03:37] mzuverink: i'd do sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart [03:37] outsane, this is why you use apt-get or synaptic. They manage the package dependencies for you. [03:37] Trel: well yah, somewhat.. either due to fill-rate problems when redrawing the screen or rendering windows to textures [03:37] outsane: usually it will tell you in the output from ./configure what else you may need to enable certain features or just to get it to compile at all, but not always. Sometimes it will go through ./configure just fine but die in the make stage if something is missing. [03:37] nickrud, ok, thanks [03:37] pajamian: here's the error message i get when i try ./configure: No such file or directory. [03:38] sneedly, are you on a 64 bit system? === Nemoder2 is now known as Nemoder [03:38] has anyone used keytouch with microsoft office keyboard or other special keyboard [03:38] havok73, what kind of video card? [03:38] outsane: how about starting from the beginning, what program are you trying to install? [03:38] eekrano, I think so. [03:39] eekrano: intel x3100 (965) [03:39] ugh i forgot how much of a headache setting up ndiswrapper is :( [03:39] sneedly: it means you can't use the adobe installer directly, run sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [03:39] nickrud, ty [03:39] eekrano, where is that?? [03:40] pajamian: i'm trying to install a code called tesseract, it's an OCR program. i got it off google codes, just as my tester. [03:40] sneedly, from a command line- run the cmd nickrud just gave you [03:40] can someone give me a walkthrough on how to get atheros wireless working??? [03:40] evening folks... anyone know why running 'host servername' could return 7 different IP addresses [none of which are the correct address]? [03:40] pajamian: i saved it to my desktop and unzipped it, but when i tried to do the ./configure it told me No such file or directory. [03:40] outsane: ok, and you have a tarball (.tar.gz) file for it? and you expanded the tarball into a directory already? [03:41] outsane: you have to do the ./configure from inside the directory you unzipped to. [03:41] pajamian: so when i type gunzip ~.tar.gz, that's not expanding it into a directory? [03:41] can you use a unhacked ipod with ubuntu yet? [03:42] outsane: you have to use tar to expand it [03:42] tar zxf [03:42] pajamian: how do i do that? [03:42] can any one help me please! [03:42] trollboy, yes [03:42] Does anybody here know why my programs take a long time to launch? Fresh install of 7.10 on brand new hardware. When I click the icon for Firefox for instance, it will say "stating firefox" for a while, then that goes away, and it just sits there for a while, the firefox finally comes up. Does that same thing no matter what program I launch, even a terminal window. [03:42] outsane: tar xzf packagename.tar.gz [03:42] anyone know why I can't adjust my screen's brightness? It doesn't appear in gnome-power-manager.... but I started gcong-editor and the option is there... but doesn't do anything if I change it [03:42] eekrano, E: Couldn't find package flashplayer-nonfree [03:43] eekrano, thats what it said [03:43] sneedly, which repos do you have enabled? [03:43] havok73, not sure exactly with the intels, what are you looking to do? [03:43] sneedly: eekrano sorry, it s flashplugin-nonfree, that was an old name I gave [03:44] pajamian: i typed that and it says: "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format / tar: Child returned status 1 / tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [03:44] it doesn't help that i have to deal with keyed wireless networks, which just makes it that much harder to test >:[ [03:44] hmm im having trouble getting a metacity theme installed? [03:44] outsane: probably because you already gunzipped it [03:44] nickrud worked [03:44] pajamian: so i wasn't supposed to gunzip it at all? i am just supposed to type tar xzf? [03:44] outsane: in that case do: tar xf packagename.tar [03:44] now frostwire anyreason it would not connect? [03:44] outsane: correct [03:45] outsane: tar does it for you [03:45] i follow the directions, says the theme installed correctly and i dont see the new theme in the list for metacity [03:45] nickrud, ty its working [03:45] pajamian: aha. thank you. i've got it working now. thank you very much! === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [03:45] outsane: yw [03:46] ... [03:46] outsane: let me know when ./configure fails [03:46] pajamian: one last question! once it's installed, where can i find it? will it be under my applications menu? [03:46] icesword: it didn't fail. [03:46] outsane, ? [03:47] nickrud, heh, didnt even notice- and I double checked to be sure hehe... plugin and player look about the same when you look quickly [03:47] outsane: nope, probably not. [03:47] icesword: ./configure worked fine. :) [03:47] Let's say I have file1.txt and file2.txt, I want to rename them to file1.jpg and file2.jpg in cli, how would I do that? [03:47] outsane: I said that [03:47] :) [03:47] eekrano: especially when I checked for flashplayer-nonfree, and apt-cache still shows it ;) [03:47] krim, mv *.txt *.jpg [03:47] pajamian: so, where do i find it? [03:47] hey, all, i wanna install ubuntu throw ISO, could u give me some advice? [03:47] outsane: I recommend you run configure this way, though... [03:48] icesword: sorry, read that wrong. thought you said it. :) [03:48] notyeta, throw iso? [03:48] outsane: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/tesseract [03:48] yep [03:48] outsane: then you will know where it is installed [03:48] hey people [03:48] notyeta, donno wht is it [03:48] now, i have this iso image, but i don't know how to do [03:48] nickrud, well at least you have an excuse- i went right a head with apt-cache search flashplugin-nonfree and didn't see why it wasnt working for him ;) [03:48] pajamian: aha. can i move it after i use the make command? [03:49] outsane: no, you have to run make again [03:49] notyeta, do u want to burd cd [03:49] icesword: mv: target `*.jpg' is not a directory [03:49] notyeta you have to burn it to cd/dvd [03:49] brb [03:49] no, i didn't burn it [03:49] oh hi, sound in flash isn't working for me -- I have two sound cards, so i have /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp2, I tried setting /etc/firefox/firefoxrc's FIREFOX_DSP="aoss", "auto" and "no" but no help... any ideas what else I could try? [03:49] pajamian: thank you!

Either the machine name or display number can be omitted. So for example ":1" means display number 1 on the same machine, and "snoopy" means "snoopy:0" i.e. display 0 on machine "snoopy". what is a display?

[04:00] arbir ok [04:00] I wrote "sudo aptitude install pvm" is it wrong? [04:00] its only the ones from .r00 archives [04:01] Owner: that should work, too [04:01] is there a reason why my menus dont update when i install new programs? [04:01] fapril: there should be a directory at the top level of the usb directory, .Trash-username , you need to turn on hidden files (ctl-h) [04:01] nickrud: I don't see a recyle bin on my usb hdd [04:01] I'm attempting to get my mic to be able to record sound. When I turn the mic playback on full, the mic works (very soft), but when I try and use it in Ventrilo (via WINE) I cannot seem to get sound. Is there a sound recording app I can use in xfce that will let me test whether or not the mic is capturing? [04:01] coooL [04:01] jack-desktop: wat r using to intall ther=m/. [04:01] rikkimaru, Make sure your microphone is plugged into the right port. [04:02] jack-desktop: sorri install them [04:02] what chan would i go to to find out about cracking my bios? [04:02] nickrud: a sec [04:02] elm1, anything, apt-get, deb file, snaptics.. [04:02] hm, and nothing shows up in applications? [04:02] Xbehave: ##hardware ? [04:02] dsnyders, I'm pretty sure it is, and it does the same thing with the internal mic [04:02] elm1, no [04:02] thx [04:02] hm, one sec, i doh if i can help but lemme check huh [04:03] whenever i try to play a video file that was extracted, I get a pink corrupted video, but only the second time and after. but not first wtf? [04:03] its only the ones from .r00 archives [04:03] rikkimaru, Usually those symptoms are from plugging the mic into the line in instead of mic in. But if you get the same thing with the built in mic... [04:04] jack-desktop:refer to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82198 [04:04] hope it helps [04:04] nickrud: Got It... thx. I just installed ubuntu yesterday and loving it. Got AWN, Compiz going and loving all of it.. thx again +rep [04:04] Is K3B working for anyone? [04:05] elm1, well after i restart my computer, they show up, so that's not the problem [04:05] Question how can i check what version of java I have frostfire complains about version of jre [04:05] dark-knight; in a terminal type java -version [04:05] jack-desktop:wat do u mean? [04:05] fapril: yw. Good on you, getting all that up so quickly [04:06] whenever i try to play a video file that was extracted, I get a pink corrupted video, but only the second time and after. but not first wtf? [04:06] its only the ones from .r00 archives [04:06] java version "1.5.0 [04:06] need i reapeet? [04:06] dsnyders: well, I know it works because I can crank the playback on the mic, and it comes out the speakers. I'm just trying to see if it's being captured properly. Know of any programs I could use to do that? [04:07] dsnyders: I need to figure out if it's WINE/Ventrilo that's messed up, or ALSA [04:07] rikkimaru, Have you tried audacity? [04:07] dsnyders: nope, lookin at it now [04:07] BodOmLaW: yes, but not so often. It might help if you specify what type of video, a little more detail. But I don't know the answer [04:07] nickrud: yea I used to run debian servers way back for things but hadn't touched it in years.. and I never used the gui. I just trashed vista on my Dell xps 1210 and installed this. It took me a few installs, I tried kubuntu but didn't like it.. I find it tries to much to be windows. [04:08] .avi i think they were all .avis that i extracted from .r00 files [04:08] * nickrud bites his tongue, he's been told not to badmouth kde [04:08] they work once, then the second time no [04:08] i delete the file and reextract but same shit [04:09] pink blocks instead of the video [04:09] !language | BodOmLaW [04:09] BodOmLaW: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:09] oh, it has audio though [04:09] BodOmLaW, what are you using to play the video? [04:10] hey.... uh... I have a pretty long list in Synaptic Package Manager under "Not installed (residual config)" what should I do with all of these? [04:10] no way [04:10] all the sudden they work again [04:10] messed up [04:10] thanks anyway [04:10] BodOmLaW, Glad we could help :-) [04:11] hello, all. I'm still having keyboard issues. Another keyboard works fine on this computer, but this keyboard works fine on other computers. however, this keyboard does not work as it should all the time with the shift button on this computer. I'm using a Saitek Eclipse II with the default US 104-key layout, and I set 'nodeadkeys' in the xorg.conf. this did not start happening until a few days ago, and I've had ubuntu installed [04:11] lol [04:12] yellowSubMar: what is the actual problem? [04:12] yellowSubMar, Is it a consistent problem, or intermittent? [04:13] It is a consistent problem where some characters + shift will not register. Some work fine with both, some work with one or the other, and some don't work at all. From what I use, alt and ctrl work fine. [04:13] nickrud, yeah,thank u [04:13] icesword: I take it one of those did the trick [04:14] yellowSubMar, are you having problems with both shift keys, or only one? [04:14] is there any way to stop a certain program from updating ? [04:15] Starfish: yes, you put it on 'hold' , or in synaptic terminology, 'force version' [04:15] Does anybody else experience slow program launches in 7.10? [04:15] With some characters only one shift key is affected. With others, both are. With others still, none are. For example, g and ' don't work with either. T works with the right one only. C only works with the left key. But W works with both. [04:15] DrBanzai: how slow? [04:16] ok i give up. i can't seem to install the ubuntu live 7.10 cd. everytime i hit start or install ubuntu it crashes after that. [04:16] i read that it's cause of the vid drivers or something [04:16] sjs: have you run the check disk option on the cd? [04:16] sjs: when you get to that main screen, click the down arrow on your keyboard to highlight "safe mode" [04:16] it crashes too! [04:16] tried safe mode too! [04:16] sjs: that's not the vid. [04:16] sjs: then click F6, move the cursor to "quiet splash" [04:17] did you do that? [04:17] I just installed ubuntu, noticed there is inetd or xinetd are not installed by default. is there a ubuntu recommended alternative for these, or? [04:17] and delete Quiet Splash [04:17] yellowSubMar, Do the keys work in the terminal? [04:17] I used "XkbOptions" "nodeadkeys" in the xorg.conf (I had to copy and paste those quotes!) [04:17] ya i replaced with break=bottom [04:17] sjs: don't do that [04:17] Can anyone help me to get my sound card working for Ubuntu 7.10? I have an onboard sound card that I want disabled, and a PCI sound card that i wish to use... It seems to have picked up the drivers for my PCI card, but its still not giving me sound.. I have a feeling I have to disable my onboard card, but I don't know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Im a total Linux noob.. PM please [04:17] hmm? what to do? [04:17] sjs: try some of the other options in f6 [04:17] sjs: if it's anything like my computer, you just delete those two things, leave the space before "--" move the cursor after the "--" and press enter [04:17] * Ghost|BTFH waves [04:17] Howdy all. [04:18] They do not work in the terminal, dsnyders. [04:18] chapocero: I think you could turn off the internal soundcard in BIOS [04:18] !md5 | sjs (you should also check you got a good download) [04:18] sjs (you should also check you got a good download): To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:18] sjs: i forget what it says, but it'll be like "(whateverthecommand) -- " there's a space after that last word before "--" do you know what I mean [04:18] Does anyone know of a Rhythmbox 0.11.4 .deb for Gutsy? [04:18] however, the keys work perfectly fine on other computers [04:18] I'm enquiring about eeeXubuntu, I want to know if I can use apt-get dist-upgrade or something similar to install it. Currently I have Ubuntu Gutsy on this EeePC [04:18] what are some cool war games free? [04:18] opening those 2 links [04:18] sjs: yeah that too... did you burn the live CD on 4x speed? I hear that can effect it [04:18] erm and crashed again lol [04:19] erm burnt at max speed [04:19] narothepharoh: wesnoth, alien-arena is a popular team shooter [04:19] sjs: yeah I hear you shouldn't go over 4x [04:19] aaah [04:19] ok i'll burn another cd right now [04:19] [21:31:21] I mixx and match kde and gnome - so i always have kubuntu-dekstop and ubuntu-desktop both installed. [04:19] =D [04:19] hello [04:19] i need sum help here [04:19] cyphase: It's currently 11.2, but I'm sure there's a deb package around for the newer versions if you do a google search. [04:19] GunbladeIV: Just tell us _what_ you need help with. [04:20] i wonder why my wireless(which is connected to internet) do have download rate about 200++kbps while i'm idle [04:20] cyphase: And basically, any .deb package (most) will install fine in Ubuntu. [04:20] Ghost|BTFH: GetDeb.net has 0.11.3 [04:20] nickrud: where do i get wesnoth? [04:20] narothepharoh: it's in the repos [04:20] Ghost|BTFH: but i can't find 0.11.4, except in the hardy repo, and that won't work [04:20] krim, and a weird application is running on background which is ntos_wq/0 [04:21] cyphase: Mmm...then I'd say that's probably the best you're going to find without going beta or worse, CVS. [04:21] yellowSubMar, I'm thinking that the keyboard uses a non-standard mapping. I think there's some sort of keyboard driver/config somewhere, but I'm not sure where. [04:21] cyphase: If you're not a google master, I guess I could do a quick check for ya. [04:21] Ghost|BTFH: i have checked [04:21] Ghost|BTFH: but if you don't mind, sure. maybe i missed something [04:21] cyphase: And you thought perhaps one of us was hiding one under our skirts? ^_^ [04:21] hmm my minimum speed avaliable is 8x [04:21] cyphase: I'll be happy to, I'm bored right now. [04:21] what should i do? [04:22] dsnyders: I looked in the list, but I could not find it. however, on the windows machine, it did name the keyboard instead of using generic. [04:22] What packages do I need to install with aptitude to use GTK2.x themes? [04:22] Hi. I'm here to ask if there is any way to remove the "-" that appears at the top of a signature. I really need to figure out how to remove it as it doesn't look too professional at the end of an e-mail to people of importance. === nando is now known as Fbern [04:22] Ghost|BTFH: i may have found a repo.. [04:22] sjs: check you got a good download, then try some of the kernel options in f6. Try searching for 'your motherboard' ubuntu , you might find some clues [04:23] cyphase: http://ubuntu2.cica.es/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/r/rhythmbox/ [04:23] nickrud: ok! [04:23] yellowSubMar, Many companies release their drivers to Microsoft, but keep them proprietary to everyone else. [04:23] cyphase: I'm almost scary. [04:23] I'm a bit confused as to why entering a command in a terminal works, but using the same shortcut in one of the drop-down menus doesn't do anything ? [04:23] dsnyders: the odd thing is that this has only recently started to happen. [04:24] Hi. I was wondering if enyone knew which package contains, or how I can get my hands on the module i2c_nforce? Is there a module listing somewhere? [04:24] Starfish: drop down menus? Some detail? [04:24] nickrud :: the 'Applications', 'Places', and 'System' menus on the top of the screen by default [04:24] nickrud :: I added an item to the 'Applications' menu, but it doesn't do anything [04:24] Starfish: What is acting oddly on the menu, but fine in cli? [04:25] Starfish: what did you add to the command line? [04:25] yellowSubMar, sounds like my k3b problem. It was working fine about a month ago. Now it won't start. [04:25] nickrud :: in both cases, it's '/home/user/.rubyripper/rubyripper_gtk2.rb' [04:25] what are some cool war games free? [04:25] Ghost|BTFH: thanks [04:25] when executed in a terminal, it pops up a little GUI, when run from the menu, nothing happens [04:25] dsnyders, what do you recommend I do to fix this? [04:26] Starfish: hrm [04:26] Ghost|BTFH: i think i found a few more as well [04:26] nickrud :: could it possibly be affected by my mostly nonfunctional nautilus ? [04:26] Starfish: methinks you need to do: ruby /home/user/.rubyripper/rubyripper_gtk2.rb [04:26] Ghost|BTFH :: I tried that as well, same effect [04:26] That's how it is with most programming languages I know. [04:26] Starfish: Did you try it with quotes? [04:26] Starfish: I'm not clueful enough about ruby to know what it requires. [04:27] Hi. I was wondering if enyone knew which package contains, or how I can get my hands on the module i2c_nforce? Is there a module listing somewhere? [04:27] Ghost|BTFH :: quotes don't change it [04:27] tbbottle: i2c-nforce (note dash) is in the linux-image-$(name -r) package [04:27] Starfish: as in ruby "/home/user/etc" or "ruby /home/user/etc" I'm not sure which one does it, but one of them should... [04:27] yellowSubMar, I have no suggestions other than google, and just using a plain old keyboard. [04:27] whats the command to ignore join and parts on an XChat client? [04:27] is there a #ubuntu preferred bittorrent client? [04:27] I was thinking azureus [04:27] tbbottle: i2c-nforce.ko to be specific [04:28] Thanks for your help, dsnyders. :) [04:28] blbrown, I use ktorrent. [04:28] blbrown: transmission will be the default starting in Hardy, the next release [04:28] Ghost|BTFH :: the first has no effect, the second gives an error as the file doesn't exist [04:28] utorrent [04:28] Starfish: Quotes change how it's read when you click. Like for me, to run WoW from a shortcut, I have to tell it: wine "/home/me/WoW/WoW.exe" --opengl [04:28] Thanks nickrud, any reason that it wouldn't be modprobe(able) one a default gutsy install? I can't seem to find it in /usr. I'll have a look in the package. [04:29] Ghost|BTFH :: yeh, I know, everything inside the quotes is read as one parameter [04:29] Starfish: Hmm...so you have ruby installed, but it's not working by calling on ruby...hmmm... [04:29] that shouldn't affect this, though, as there are no special charactes [04:29] Ghost|BTFH :: I'll enumerate that it does work from a command-line [04:29] tbbottle: it's in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/i2c/busses [04:29] Thanks [04:29] whats the command to ignore join and parts on an XChat client? [04:29] Ghost|BTFH :: my nautilus is non-functional, that might have something to do with it, I'm not sure [04:29] tbbottle: try modprobing it as a dash, not underscore [04:29] Starfish: Hmmm....and you don't need to do a ./ to run it, or even a "run" command? [04:30] how would I go about reinstalling ALSA? [04:30] My LAN is working over Gigabit ethernet, and Wireless LAN, but I can't see machines listed in network on either XP or ubuntu side.. however I can access both sides by IP.. how do I fix this? [04:30] Ghost|BTFH :: executing from a command-line via '/home/user/...' or 'ruby /home/user/...' both work fine [04:30] n8tuser: depends on the chat client [04:30] Starfish: Because genereally, I can't get ANYTHING to run cli without telling it ./ or run or sh or python etc. [04:30] How do I reconfigure my keyboard, in a similar manner to the way you'd use the configure utility in the alternate install (with the ncurses interface)? ["Which of the following keys does your keyboard have", that kind of thing]? I have done it before, and have tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but none of that works. [04:30] Starfish: Okay, that's farqed up. ruby "/home/user/.." should work fine then. [04:31] Ghost|BTFH :: yeh, it doesn't [04:31] I think I have other problems [04:31] eh, guess it's back to the command-line fo rme [04:31] Starfish: Okay, here's a weird attempt to try... [04:31] Anyone have any idea why I can't install GTK2.x themes even though the gtk2.x package and engines are installed? [04:31] When I take a screen grab of a window the border around the window is not included as long compiz is enabled. Can this be changed? [04:31] Starfish ALT+F2 and type it into there. [04:31] See if it runs. [04:31] bazhang--> Xchat [04:31] Hi all! My k3b stopped working, and I'm getting a DCOP aborting message when I run from a terminal. Anybody else having this problem? [04:32] If it does, there is something you're missing with the shortcut. [04:32] ah. a path test, wise [04:32] Starfish: Have you tried configuring the launcher to run the command in a terminal, and searched for any relevant output? [04:32] hei [04:32] n8tuser: is there not a preferences dialog you can access for that? my chat client has one (not Xchat) [04:33] I'll be back [04:33] exit [04:33] What's the best place to execute script to change xrandr settings for dual-heal? xinitrc? [04:33] oops [04:33] tbbottle :: well, i can select that, but it opens and closes to quickly to see anything, how do I make it stay ? [04:33] bazhang--> nope, nothing, i googled and the closest one, irc_common_conf 1 dont work [04:33] Anyone here using Ubuntu on a thinkpad with working suspend? [04:33] hi [04:33] I'm back. [04:34] Starfish: So what happened when you used ALT+F2 and ran it? [04:34] n8tuser: right click the channel tab, and untick show join part [04:34] cgegner, it works for me [04:34] Ghost|BTFH :: it doesn't do anything visible [04:34] Ghost|BTFH :: how can I make the terminal stay open if I've run it via alt-f2 ? [04:34] can sum1 help me my double click doesnt work [04:34] I am not sure, but you might be able to redirect the output from the command into a text file, to see if there is something there you aren't catching. Tryi appending " > /tmp/ruby_out.txt " to the command in the launcher config and then check to see if anything shows up in the text file [04:34] suspend=sleep? [04:34] yes Mulder [04:35] sleep worked fine on my thinkpad [04:35] * Mulder has a t43 [04:35] I'm having problem with my R61. Sometimes it doesn't go to sleep, sometimes it doesn't wake up. Other times it'll wake up but my network manager is borked. [04:35] i dunno, my a31p works like a dream [04:35] tbbottle :: output file is empty [04:35] i cant double click to open [04:35] if it doesnt wake up after sleep, try pressing power button [04:36] I do [04:36] cgegner, take note that network manager doesn't refresh most of the time, regardless of coming out of sleep mode or not. [04:36] can sum1 help me? [04:36] n8tuser: right click should do it [04:36] Nothing relevant from ruby then (it tends to use standar out, not standard eror, so we should have caught it). Shame. Sorry, I am out of ideas for now. [04:36] how would i go about updating to a newer version of ALSA? [04:36] what is the issue christylez [04:37] christylez: are you having trouble with double click in a file manager, or everywhere? [04:37] A LiveCD iso can be burned to a DVD-R and run with no problems, right? [04:37] wen i put an icon on desktop i cant open it by left clicking [04:37] usrl: I hope so, or the custom DVDs I've done are worthless. ;) [04:37] Ghost|BTFH: ok, thanks [04:38] christylez: what icon and how did you put it there [04:38] sp0ro: network manager shows as connected, however the interface stays down and I cannot coax it to life using network manager gui (changing wireless networks doesnt respawn etc) [04:38] i hope there's enterprise security support for wireless in gnome newtork manager soon [04:38] Hello :) [04:38] usrl: Just remember, if you burn it to a -R dvd, don't expect a +R machine to read it. ;) [04:38] christylez: left click, go to "open with...", select the program you want, then click always use this program [04:38] Is K3B working for anyone? [04:38] any icon [04:38] yes dsnyders [04:38] cgegner, try "ifconfig INTERFACE up" [04:38] can linux read a FAT32 drive on a GUID partition scheme? [04:39] bazhang, I'm having problems with k3b. I get a DCOP aborting message. [04:39] christylez: do that for whatever type of file you want to associate with a particular program [04:39] dsnyders: doing what when you get that message [04:39] can anyone tell me where I configure my system to run a ssh server when booting up? [04:39] dsnyders: this is gutsy or feisty [04:39] anyone know where u can get more applets for awn [04:39] bazhang, Starting k3b. [04:40] Berzerker: It "should". [04:40] double left click wont work at all [04:40] Ghost|BTFH: Meaning? [04:40] Hello all! I'm looking for a little assistance repairing samba. [04:40] dsnyders: what version of ubuntu and k3b I seem to recall that problem in the past [04:40] bazhang, 7.10 [04:40] Newbuntu2, apt-get install ssh-server ? [04:40] sup ghfreak51 [04:40] Berzerker: Well, unless GPT does something insanely weird, Ubuntu should read the FAT32 partition just fine. [04:40] Ghost|BTFH: I want to be able to use it to transfer files between OS X and *ubuntu while still being able to live partition it. [04:40] bazhang, it was working a month or so ago. [04:40] quaii cu [04:41] christylez: what does right click do? [04:41] opens the standard menu [04:41] english please lethiha [04:41] Ghost|BTFH: What about iTunes, can I run that on *ubuntu/ [04:41] I was wondering if anyone could help me, I am trying to get Kopete to work with msn(with webcam for my wife). I don't have a computer with windows/msn, is there a person that has msn/windows that I can send a message to and test if the cam is working? [04:41] ?* [04:41] Berzerker: only under wine [04:41] That's fine. [04:41] Berzerker: That you're asking the wrong guy *Points to ogg collection* however, that being said, I believe you can under wine. [04:41] yo [04:42] I have ssh installed, but I'm used to the CLI to configure sshd.conf. I was wondering if in Ubuntu it is done differently, via a gui or something [04:42] hey [04:42] srry I need to reg my nic [04:42] k [04:42] so its done? [04:42] got to go, back in a while [04:42] I don't want my system to end up confused [04:42] cgegner, did you get it back up? [04:42] As long as I can run it and play my [*sigh*]DRM'ed music [/*sigh*]. [04:42] mike_, why not load up aMsn from synaptic? [04:42] yea finally [04:42] ok [04:42] bazhang, ubuntu 7.10 is Gutsy? [04:42] bazhang--> i think i found the solution, run a perl script then close xchat and rerun.. darn xchat is not so user friendly [04:42] Newbuntu2: I like the nick! :D [04:42] so unzip the ubuntu appliance [04:42] this all sarted after i installed kiba dock [04:42] hmm [04:42] and install vmplayer [04:42] yup.. it took like 10 min to unzip [04:42] yup both done [04:42] If in network, I can see my machine, but not my network shares, where should i look? [04:42] it works with kopete and amsn perfectly,but not with my wifes friends online [04:43] bah [04:43] sp0ro: this time it worked fine on it's own [04:43] cgegner, if you don't know the interface run an ifconfig -a in a terminal [04:43] mike_, ah.. could it be a router problem.. open ports and such? [04:43] dsnyders: yes; I have to go away for a bit now the other fine and more knowledgeable folks here can likely help [04:43] Starfish: Find the issue? [04:43] sp0ro: it should be eth1 [04:43] Newbuntu2--> same cli commands work to configure sshd or ssh client [04:43] cgegner, yeah network manager is bug prone ;) [04:43] so I put the ubuntu folder in C:\Program Files\VMware [04:43] bazhang, You've been the only one to respond. [04:43] cgegner, easier just to learn the ifconfig(iwconfig commands if you use a wireless nic) and go from there [04:44] Scunizi, it's my own shares that I can't see. Would that be a router thing? [04:44] the ports might be the issue [04:44] i put mine in my d: [04:44] ok make a link [04:44] on win xp, after i defrag the 30 gig C drive. there are files towards to end of the disk. will ubuntu's repartition tool move those files upward? so that i can creat a 10gig partition for ubuntu? [04:44] but I can't test that locally?? [04:44] so when you start vmplayer you can find it [04:44] make a link to what [04:44] create a shortcut of the ubuntu folder [04:44] ooo [04:44] ok [04:44] ok [04:45] mkar, mike_ am I talking to the same person? Your own shares meaning within your lan on your network? [04:45] and stick it in the VMware dir [04:45] gold44--> nope, use gparted to relocate and move/resize partition [04:45] Sorry scun, I ircjacked, go ahead! [04:45] no not a lan [04:45] sorry [04:45] k hold on [04:45] i only have one computer [04:45] once thats done check out this doc http://www.linux.com/feature/54411 [04:45] mike_, so you're going from your machine to the outside world to someone elses machine.. right? [04:45] i instaled kopete and amsn on one computer a [04:45] n8tuser: ah... right gparted was the tool in ubuntu live cd. [04:46] Can anyone tell me if it's a bad idea for me to mess around with "xinitrc"? [04:46] n8tuser: too bad it won't compact my files [04:46] the cam does not work when i connent to some one over the internet [04:46] that tells you all the settings you need to update in the ubuntu vmplayer config file [04:46] cd is working fine, starting ubuntu and it freezes [04:46] what should i do! [04:46] gold44--> use tar with -C option or gzip or any other file compression tools [04:47] mike_, use my nick in replys so I can "see" your answer .. type partial then "tab" to complete.. Sound like your issue could be ports on your router and possibly on the other persons router.. [04:47] xyblor--> nope, not bad, you just have to know what you are adding or deleting [04:47] mike_, text does work though [04:47] ? [04:47] is there any sort of 'GUI' web analyzer for ubuntu? [04:47] can someone help me with VNC setup? [04:47] n8tuser: I want to execute a script from there to enable dual-heal with xrandr before the window manager starts [04:48] sjs you are still at it? what kind of hard disk do you have? [04:48] Newbuntu2, vnc is set up at the start....or it should be. [04:48] Scunizi: the roughter should be set up correctly; i had the cam working before with the router [04:48] n8tuser: no, i don't mean compressing the files. i want to compact (collapse) the files so they all "sit" at the first 20gig of the hard drive. want to get a 10gig partition for ubunut [04:48] icesword: here? [04:48] mike_, going to the same person? [04:48] How do I install Hebrew support in Ubuntu? [04:48] i can even double click to onpen im in pidgin [04:49] gold44, Do you just want to resize the partition? === godfreyhk is now known as godfreyhk_ [04:49] gold44--> thats where xp gets you, it stashes files in specific locations..hard to relocate them or else xp wont work [04:49] Scunizi: it worked over the internet before.... butthe cam driver was bad so i stoped using it [04:49] Jordan_U: yes. [04:49] what's the compiz thing called where drop-down boxes (like the URL box in firefox) fades in and out? [04:49] * JoshJ wants to turn that off [04:49] gold44, use gparted ( from a LiveCD if you need to change the drive you normally boot from ) [04:49] Scunizi: the cam's driver seems to work now though :) so I wan to get it working again [04:49] JoshJ: do you have ccsm installed? [04:50] yeah [04:50] n8tuser: Jordan_U want it to look like this --> http://www.theeldergeek.com/images/Disk%20Defragmenter/Disk%20Defrag%2004.gif [04:50] looking for where IN ccsm it's at === godfreyhk_ is now known as godfreyhk [04:50] marupa: it is, but it makes my box crash after a short while [04:50] JoshJ--> can you visit #compiz for more specific help? [04:50] mike_, you really need to ask what has changed from then to now. new router on either end ? IP firewall setup etc.. I'm loading win in my vm for msn.. I'll give my address to you pm in a sec. [04:50] JoshJ: ok well then go into your animations section and take out the part for dropdown menus under the "open animation" tab === godfreyhk is now known as godfreyhk_ [04:50] What is runlevel 1 and runlevel 3? [04:51] does any logitech webcam work with ubuntu 7.10 [04:51] rainwalker, thx [04:51] n8tuser: Jordan_U but after i run defrag, files still sit toward the end of the drive [04:51] JoshJ: no prob [04:51] How do I write in Hebrew in Ubuntu? [04:51] btw rainwalker do you know what folder these are stored in? i've got two computers and i'd like to be able to make the settings identical [04:51] prettyricky: I have a quickcam communicate something-or-other with amsn [04:51] ghfreak51 ... how goes it? [04:51] jbinder--> i assumed you have done some research via google? fedora uses like 6 levels, ubuntu only uses basically 3 === godfreyhk_ is now known as godfreyhk [04:51] jw144000: Do you have your keyboard set up yet? [04:52] JoshJ: I'm not sure, but you could ask in #compiz-fusion [04:52] so I need amsn? newbie [04:52] k [04:52] n8tuser: THe nvidia installer says I am in runlevel 1 and tells me to go to runlevel 3 [04:52] emmajane: Yeah [04:52] anybody else have problems with flac 1.2.1 ? [04:52] mike_, check your dialogue windows for a pm from me.. I'll give you my msn addrss there. [04:52] jbinder--> typically runlevel 1 is no gui (X) , no network, level 3 has X [04:52] jbinder, Is there a reason you aren't using restricted manager? Did RM not work? [04:53] Would recovery mode use 1? [04:53] jbinder, Yes [04:53] jw144000: and the language pack? [04:53] I haven't gotten any GUI stuff working yet [04:53] jw144000: i.e. the locale.... [04:53] jbinder--> on ubuntu 2-5 is same levels [04:53] mike_, did the private message window open? [04:54] emmajane: I don't know if I have the language pack installed. [04:54] Scunizi: yes [04:54] jw144000: Give this page a try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HebrewLocalizationHowto [04:54] How do I reconfigure my keyboard, in a similar manner to the way you'd use the configure utility in the alternate install (with the ncurses interface)? ["Which of the following keys does your keyboard have", that kind of thing]? I have done it before, and have tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but none of that works. [04:54] mike_, type something in it .. [04:54] jw144000: I think it's what you're looking for... [04:54] k i'll let you know when i'm done with it [04:54] jbinder--> before you can get gui, X has to be installed..or framebuffer (i think) [04:54] emmajane: OK, thanks. [04:55] k [04:55] mike_, my address is in there now.. can you see it? [04:55] what package do I need to install for development docs? [04:55] Hallag1, Not sure exactly but 'locale' may ( or may not ) be a helpful search term / starting point [04:56] jw144000: I haven't played with language switching in a while, but it used to be that you could install two different keyboard layouts for two different languages. I had french and english at one point and would switch between the two by pressing both "shift" keys at once. Is that what you're looking for? [04:56] Hallag1: there's "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [04:56] verma--> for which development tools? [04:56] xyblor: Tried it, no help. Ditto console-setup [04:56] n8tuser, I want to be able to refer to C documentation through man [04:56] Jordan_u: t's a keyboard setting, not a locale thing, I THINK [04:56] Hi all! My k3b doesn't start, and I'm getting a DCOP aborting message when I run from a terminal. Anybody else having this problem? [04:57] Actually, I might try that [04:57] Hallag1: do you have an unusual keyboard type? [04:57] xyblor: No, not at all. [04:57] emmajane: Yeah [04:57] verma--> i assume if you install build-essential will install man pages [04:57] I just installed gnome, every window I open is positioned so the title bar is offscreen, so i cant drag it into view, any ideas how to fix this? or move the windows at the least [04:57] jw144000: it was an internationalization option in KDE, but I don't know how it works in gnome. Hang on and I'll see if I can find it. [04:57] Hallag1, I think xyblor is right about dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ( though that may not help at a tty ) [04:57] verma: manpages-dev [04:57] Hallag1: you want to remap keys globally? [04:57] Pici, ah [04:57] xyblor: For some reason, though, when I hit the key labelled ' it gives me nothing. Hitting it twice give me ' . Hitting it once, plus any other letter key, gives me an accent. e.g. créme brulée [04:58] Pici, let me try [04:58] New to amsn, How do I start an account - user name and password? [04:58] verma: That should be the C documentation stuff [04:58] This has done this with three different keyboards, xyblor [04:58] Pici, ahaa .. it worked .. thanks [04:58] prettyricky--> umm this is not amsn support, tried reading their register page? [04:58] So I am just intending to try and reconfigure it, because I think I did something wrong in my initial install about a year ago [04:59] Hallag1: wow that's weird, I have no idea what could cause that [04:59] It is useful because I can type accents easily [04:59] OTOH, I have to type " + " + shift + alt to type " [04:59] n8tuser - was hoping someone new how. thanks! [04:59] How do you fix LAN if it is working by IP but not by name? [05:00] anyone know of a good program to record ur desktop but not miss frames [05:00] prettyricky--> get on to their web site for registering and there should be instructions [05:00] Hallag1: so do you want to chang the behaviour of ' or not? [05:00] xyblor: Yes [05:00] Viktorious: there are lots of them, but none are guaranteed not to miss frames [05:00] how do you force terminate an application (ie Firefox) ? [05:00] Tazbobu--> you either use /etc/hosts or the name server [05:01] xyblor: I know not much about bindings, though [05:01] i have a 36 gig windows partition... can I merge with my current filesystem or should I keep it as a separate partition? if the latter, how do I format the windows partition into a linux filesystem? [05:01] n8tuser ----> thank you! [05:01] Neronious: you can use xkill, but going through the system monitor in the administration menu is more complete [05:01] It will complain it is still running if you just xkill [05:01] saxofoner: ty [05:01] or point me to a HOWTO somwhere.... [05:01] prettyricky--> sowee not too helpful [05:02] xyblor: Is there a HOWTO or something you could point me at? I've been searching on and off for an answer for about a year [05:02] Hallag1: for mapping? [05:02] bmeynell--> what about the existing data on it? okay to trash it? [05:02] Hallag1: I'm not an expert at all, it sounds like you might have some accent utility installed. [05:02] Yeah, for remapping, emmajane. It would at leasr be a starting point [05:03] I'm trying to compile the latest kernel, 2.6.24.2 with Ubuntu Gutsy...after I extract the linux source, configure it, then run make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version=-some-string-here kernel-image kernel-headers, the kernel is not compiled that I get the message, "No work to be done." I have done this with an older kernel, 2.6.22, and it worked... [05:03] Haven't installed anything, it has worked like this since the start [05:03] Hallag1: I'm looking for the same thing for jw144000. Hang on a sec. [05:03] n8tuser: yeah, i can kill everything on it... i have all my important files from windows on my linux partition now [05:03] ClintZ28--> isnt there like a configure step you have to do before asking make to make? [05:03] anyone have any luck with SND_HDA_INTEL? [05:03] Thanks, emmajane [05:04] Hello [05:04] Hallag1: does the behaviour of ' change with a different window manager? [05:04] n8tuser, I just figured out the problem...I actually left off kernel-image and kernel-headers [05:04] If I want to give a user the ability to start and stop DNS, how would I go about doing so using Sudo? [05:04] bmeynell--> then just go ahead and reformat that partition or if you want to merge, do it..and reformat adn make a file system on it [05:04] Hi [05:04] Is there working Sun Java for 64bit systems? [05:04] n8tuser: if I merge is all my linux data trashed? [05:04] Hallag1: what happens to ' in console mode? (ctrl-alt-F1) [05:04] I mean plugin for firefox 64bit [05:05] !flash64 | mateusz [05:05] mateusz: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [05:05] xyblor: No. At least, I used the XFCE window manager on my last Ubuntu install on same computer, and same thing. Thing is, I did the same thing in that setup utility on the install CD [05:05] xyblor: Same deal [05:05] bmeynell--> it is wiser to have separate partitions, dont merge them into one big pile [05:05] Jordan_U: I dont want 32bit hacks [05:05] Hallag1: what language/locale do you want it to be? [05:05] Hallag1: well at least you know it's not the window manager to blame then [05:05] are there more focused ubunto channels here? [05:05] emmajane: English/Australian [05:05] bmeynell--> once one partition go bad on you, you at least have other partitions.. [05:06] mateusz, I think the most recent version of iceTea is native 64 bit [05:06] n8tuser: so the question is how to turn the windows partition into linux... is there a simple command or ? [05:06] Jordan_U: it doesnt work [05:06] Jordan_U: I tried it [05:06] Jordan_U: and none of Java applets work [05:06] Hallag1: what window manager are you using? [05:06] bmeynell--> once you get into fdisk or gparted, its pretty straightforward... gparted must be installed if you dont have it yet [05:06] jw144000: Are you using the default Ubuntu install? [05:07] any ideas how Ubuntu works with a Tablet PC?

[05:08] notyeta, yeah [05:08] bmeynell--> yes, and delete old windows then create new linux id 83 type [05:08] notyeta, i am back .sorry [05:08] bmeynell--> you dont have grub installed on your windows partition right? [05:09] jw144000: I don't see how to do the double-shift short cut in Gnome though. :( [05:09] need some help with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56446/ [05:09] n8tuser: i don't believe so.... but i don't know for sure... GRUB runs right after the BIOS runs and lists all my linux installations and my windows boot option at the bottom of the list [05:10] I'm trying to build libexo from source, ./configure keeps telling me it can't find md5.h or md5global.h even though both are already installed.... [05:10] bmeynell--> check your /boot/grub/menu.lst and it should tell you where you have grub installed [05:10] Hallag1: I dont' see an Australian locale installed by default in a plain vanilla Ubuntu install... [05:11] Geoffrey2--> umm check your Makefile to make sure it points to correct header directories? [05:11] so I've got my virtualbox all set up with my windows partition to run inside of ubuntu, but I get a hard disk error. It doesn't even make it to the "choose hardware profile" menu I know it has something to do with SCSI and SATA, but that's all I know.

[05:15] YAY [05:15] bmeynell--> i do not doubt it [05:15] I read about some guy running all these viruses in wine, he lost his whole partition [05:15] n8tuser: thanks [05:15] saxofoner: yikes, maybe I shouldn't do it then [05:15] How do I check my RAID controller's serial number? [05:16] notyeta, it seems u are from hangzhou? [05:16] saxofoner: I wonder how you get viruses in Wine? [05:16] run them yourself [05:16] xyblor: just like you would in windows, probably [05:17] My apologies, emmajane. My X windows crashed [05:17] I've tried every bit of fiddling with the keyboard settings that is possible, emmajane [05:17] they shouldn't spread unless you try to cultivate them or something... with moisture and heat [05:18] There is a computer in my house running Ubuntu. I have my laptop running (ubuntu too) and want to ssh to that other computer. How can I do it? We share the same network. The Internet IP is not dynamic. [05:18] saxofoner: I thought viruses depended on flaws in memory usage and network security in Windows. Those vulnerabilities wouldn't be present if you're running wine apps through linux, right? [05:18] it could effect the virtual drive_c I think [05:18] xyblor: yes they would, because wine creates a virtual windows drive [05:19] not your actual OS [05:19] daspah, You want to only have a shell or remote desktop? Because yiu can use the terminal server client thing [05:19] ph0rensic, Shell [05:19] but linux is still in control of networking and memory usage with Wine [05:19] hello [05:20] Hi all! My k3b doesn't start anymore, and I'm getting a DCOP aborting message when I run from a terminal. What's wrong? [05:20] unless you deliberately run a virus executable with wine... [05:20] daspah, I haven't done it in quite some time, so off-dand Im not sure.. do you have ssh running on the host machine? [05:20] Wine is SO awesome it can get viruses. Just leave it at that. ;) [05:20] got a question about preinstalling Ubuntu on systems our company wants to sell [05:20] My lappy powered down when I had nano open, the text was un-named and not saved yet.

[05:23] thing is I can't find any direct contact from their webpage [05:23] daspah--> whats the ip address of each host?

[05:23] icesword: But how do I get that if not through gksudo or sudo?

[05:32] daspah okay no problem.. [05:32] moad, what is getting black [05:32] xyblor: I belive it's called after it's loaded after drivers and everything has been loaded [05:32] Hey do you guys provide support on installing ubuntu on the ps3? [05:32] icesword, the firefox windows get black and stuck and i have to force quit [05:32] reind: maybe you have the wrong soundcard selected by default. that happened to me [05:32] icesword, when i check the system monitor it tells me one of the cpus is at 100% [05:33] xyblor: remember using it way back for launching different WindowManagers and Desktop Enviroments [05:33] Hello, can anybody help me? I downloaded the alternate CD for Ubuntu 7.10 and wrote it to a CD-RW using a program called "BurnCDCC", and when i ran it on my other older computer which had problems with the live CD, after it got to 6% on the install, it failed, is there anything i can do to fix this, my old computer used to use Windows XP and was very slow, however it was erased by the Ubuntu...

[05:34] moad, yeah,or u got confused,why not ask in #firefox [05:34] reind: I can't remember [05:34] prettyricky, use sudo [05:34] Manjy : You'll probably need a different replacement disc, written with Nero, Roxio, or K3B.

[05:35] Nero, nor Roxio are free [05:35] but, you might be able to get a functional demo copy [05:35] check www.nero.com [05:35] slackern: I want to run something after the xsession has started, but before the window manager has started [05:35] IdleOne can you specify how to do it please.

I used to only use windows, then dual, then only ubuntu, not I set up xp again so I can use the cd-print function of my printer [05:40] xyblor: sorry for not being able to provide more info, only time i used it was to launch everything in .xinitrc for a specific user and xinitrc ended with launching the windowmanager (fluxbox in that case to be specific) [05:40] event not found nickrud [05:40] http://wiresmash.com a great site to check out if you are bored (gaming tips,increase your internet connection,videos,funny,pics....) really great http://wiresmash.com [05:40] Manjy, How else Am I going to label my inkjet printable ubuntu disks?

[05:42] Fbern: no, they should restart automatically [05:42] Manjy : did you format the Windows partition(s)?

I did up a Fedora system like that a few years back on a 60GB drive. made it sorta like a better Knoppix, but with full account support. [05:48] I've been wanting to do the same thing with Kubuntu [05:49] Hey. it worked! [05:49] Tw|sT, I have a Ubuntu Live image on my flash drive, used it to put Ubuntu onto this EeePC [05:49] nickrud, Hey question.. say I already dualboot and I wanna give the 64-bit version a go. I already have my drives partitioned and everything... When I install the 2nd linux operating system on my machine, does GRUB reconfigure for me automatically to show the new 64-but kernel? [05:49] Is there a way to tell mount what filesystem to use when I mount a DVD? [05:49] !install | Tw|sT there's one here [05:49] Tw|sT there's one here: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[05:49] Fbern, rebooting would do it [05:49] ;p [05:49] Tw|sT--> it works on a toshiba laptop my friend has and using a 60gb external usb drive [05:49] Fbern: fyi for next time, you only have to log out and back in to reset your gui [05:49] o i didnt know that thx [05:49] im a noob [05:49] Manjy, I think you will end up thinking it was worth the trouble of figuring out.. there is some getting used to it, but rarely do people go back [05:49] excellent [05:49] nickrud, logging out without panels = pretty hard for a newbie [05:50] there is a tut on the web on installing ubuntu gutsy on a USB stick [05:50] What does it mean, if you were watching a video, then it goes to a black screen, like right before it boots up into the login screen. then it takes you back to the login screen? [05:50] IdleOne ---> no such file or directory [05:50] X11 crash? [05:50] TerrorBite, crtl-alt-backspace? [05:50] vircuser, I know, I used it [05:50] TerrorBite: true that. Wanna tell him about cab ? [05:50] I go to terminal. type cd desktop and get no such dir [05:50] I imagine it's the same process as the Fedora install... do the full install, then boot from the disc in rescue mode, and chroot the filesystem, then build the USB boot image, etc. [05:50] prettyricky, you have to edit that command to point to the correct dir [05:50] prettyricky: its Desktop , caps matter in linux [05:50] prettyricky, Desktop is case sensitive "D" [05:50] ph0rensic, that works, thoughit's not really a "clean" logout [05:50] Ty [05:50] TerrorBite, True [05:51] :D [05:51] I gotta try that as soon as I have time to backup my 120GB USB HD. [05:51] waiting for apps to actually close on logout. [05:51] anyone know how to get some programs to automatically be Tray-Able with KDOCKER? For example get Evolution to automatically tray when I minimize it? [05:51] That works----- : ) [05:51] Tw|sT--> nope, i just clicked install and choose the external usb drive..it worked, at boot, I just made sure bios is pointing to external usb drive [05:51] nickrud, Did you get my last message to you? [05:51] ph0rensic: mised it [05:51] ph0rensic: Oh I've used it before as i mentioned earlier, i just mean the hassle of setting everything up, it's mostly just my brother who uses it for the internet, and he won't have much problems adjusting to firefox, and my brother and sister can use banshee for their iPods and buy music online [05:51] Tw|sT, so you're looking at a fullsize USB HDD, rather than just a live boot from a flash drive [05:51] When I do though, I wanna set it up where the first half is Kubuntu, paired up with the NTFS kernel mod. [05:51] I'm going to install kde to see if that gets k3b going. [05:52] ph0rensic: yes, it does [05:52] Are there any internet backbone issues tonight? [05:52] yeah [05:52] right on [05:52] n8tuser: thats badass [05:52] I'll definitely check it out soon then. [05:52] nickrud, So then when os would be in charge of grub, the new one or the first installed one? [05:53] once it has the NTFS driver integrated, I'll be able to use about half the space on it for a universal storage partition [05:53] ph0rensic: the last installed os [05:53] really need some help with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56446/ [05:53] the rest, about 60GB, will be dedicated to the portable linux [05:53] nickrud, That is what I was thinking .. ok thanks [05:54] hello. [05:54] I'll just put the NTFS on the tail of the drive, and let the Ext3 occupy the first half [05:54] Hello, I was having some problems with my Xubuntu virtual terminals. I looked up a potential fix on google and find these command line fixes "sudo modprobe vga16 sudo modprobe fbcon" this made the problem totally totally crazy and i just want to know how to disable what i did [05:54] Manjy, I'd say its a alot easier and faster to set it up compared to windows === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [05:54] ph0rensic: if you want a different one to do it, while that os is active do sudo grub-install /dev/hda (or sda) [05:54] Manjy, I just reinstall my dual-boot setup the other day and I still dont have my win setup finished yet [05:55] caleb_yau: sudo rmmod vga16 then sudo rmmod fbcon [05:55] IdleOne---> Sorry got to ~/Desktop then I go to cp amsnplus which is the file and then do I enter destination/dir? Very confused, newbie [05:55] IdleOne--> which step you got stucked? [05:55] How do I specify what filesystem to use when I mount from Terminal? [05:55] prettyricky, where do you want to put that file? [05:55] ph0rensic: ouch [05:55] looking for a good partition manager that I can 'apt-get' [05:55] ph0rensic: um, sudo update-grub && sudo grub-install /dev/ that is, so all the os's will be listed [05:55] nickrud, got it thanks bro [05:55] n8tuser, step 5 [05:55] I want to put it with the amsn [05:56] thanks Starneystommy but i just got this error :ERROR: Module vga16 does not exist in /proc/modules [05:56] <[RUsh]> Hello. I have /etc/init.d/networking script being disabled. But when I start my ubuntu, I have network configuration: http://paste.org/index.php?id=2051. If I switch my script on, ubuntu doesn't read config from /etc/network/interfaces (so, I have the same strange net config) [05:56] stupidgirl: like sudo mount /dev/ -t /mountpoint [05:56] I want to put it here /usr/share/amsn/plugins [05:56] IdleOne--> referring to drivers/net/Kconfig ? [05:56] ouch, this Nero install may take a while [05:56] n8tuser, yes [05:57] anyone experincing the need to reconfig vmware after reboot? [05:57] prettyricky, sudo cp amsnplus /usr/share/amsn/plugins [05:57] <[RUsh]> to make OS read config, I have to do # ifdown -a && ifup -a [05:57] IdleOne--> yours does not have that file? [05:57] n8tuser, nope [05:57] <[RUsh]> ifup -a makes no effect [05:57] nickrud: I get a wrong fs type error. How do I mount UDF 2.5? [05:57] ph0rensic: This is going to sound n00bish but, on Ubuntu, is there anything similar to the windows task manager, you know, for viewing/ending processes and checking their memory usage and such [05:57] n8tuser, unless it is hidden [05:58] Manjy: htop [05:58] stupidgirl: try -t auto [05:58] manjy look for 'process manager' [05:58] nickrud: Same error [05:58] stupidgirl: or udf, according to the mount man page [05:58] Tried that and get no such file? [05:58] stupidgirl, -t udf [05:58] nickrud, it's UDF 2.5 actually [05:58] nickrud, stupidgirl said udf ,wht is it [05:58] Manjy, are you talking about system monitor? Check system-admin-system monitor [05:59] not UDF [05:59] the file is on my desktop [05:59] IdleOne--> am on 2.6.22-14-generic and it has that Kconfig file [05:59] icesword: udf is the "Universal Disk Format" filesystem defined by the Optical Storage Technology [05:59] Association, and is often used for DVD-ROM. [05:59] hey does anyone know what to do to get midi files to play on ubuntu> [05:59] ? [05:59] ph0rensic: thanks, i'll check that out after i install it :) [05:59] n8tuser, I have same kernel but dont see the kconfig [05:59] sorry manjy, ph0rensic had it right, 'system monitor' [05:59] icesword: copied from the mount man page [05:59] Manjy, Yes that is probably what you are looking for [05:59] when i write "sudo rmmod fbcon" i also get "ERROR: Module fbcon is in use" [05:59] n8tuser, is it hidden? [06:00] n8tuser, on windows right now so I cant check [06:00] jgmcmaster, use timidity [06:00] hi all [06:00] Anyone ever have problems with GDESKLETS not booting right when its on the left? [06:00] IdleOne--> nope, its in /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/drivers/net/Kconfig note the cap K [06:00] where you find timidity? [06:00] Fbern, I stopped using gdesklets and started using screenlets [06:01] nickrud: dmesg shows --- [ 6256.880000] UDF-fs: minUDFReadRev=250 (max is 201) [06:01] is it possible to use the web gui feature of utorrent with the wine install? [06:01] i only use screenlets never try gdesklet befor [06:01] n8tuser, I will have to take another look. will be back [06:01] HAS anyone tried using clonezilla yet? [06:01] stupidgirl, where a u from [06:01] any one can use the sound in the yahoo chat rooms [06:01] i got major lag when i install world of warcraft [06:01] sary, I found gdesklets to not work that well [06:02] icesword: India [06:02] stupidgirl--> you can verify your current running kernel if it supports UDF by grepping for UDF the /boot/config-`uname-r` file [06:02] stupidgirl, but your ip points to german [06:03] icesword, no it doesn't [06:03] i have a really weird problem [06:03] any Ideas on how to fix my virtual terminal to back to normal? [06:03] Anyone know if I can have a thumb-drive apache server running on a pc that has apache already running on it? [06:03] can any one use the sound in the yahoo chat rooms [06:03] stupidgirl, yeah,i see,sorry [06:03] i can't get on the internet from my laptop, i am on the network but everything on the internet doesnt work suddenly [06:04] can anyone help? [06:04] stupidgirl: good question, I did a google search for udf 2.50 ubuntu, it leads me to believe it's not in the kernel. You'd have to add support for it [06:04] ph0rensic--> umm you want your thumb-drive to be written frequently by apache? [06:04] whats a screenlet ph0rensic [06:04] Fbern, Kinda same thing as a desklet, but works way better [06:04] stefano_--> paste in pastebin your ifconfig -a and route -n [06:05] nickrud: Okay, thats what I needed to know. Cause the guides I found for UDF 2.5 were for Fiesty, and none for Gutsy [06:05] stupidgirl, i see,u got u 80 port open,what do u use it for [06:05] do i just google screenlet? [06:05] icesword: router [06:05] n8tuser, No I want to run an apache-web-server on my thumbdrive for some apps I am working on, and we-sql driven calendar and stuff I access not too often. Also could be used as a bootable resume type thing [06:05] icesword: Feeling a bit nosey today, aren't you? [06:05] hello [06:05] stupidgirl, i see,i will stop it [06:06] anyone having problem with video with intel video card? [06:06] n8tuser, even though it just occoured all the sudden? i havent made any changes at all. i was just watching a video on stage6 when my internet connection got disconnected (24h disconnect from the provider) when i was back on line, suddenly it wouldnt work. i am now using xchat and firefox on another machine via x forwarding [06:07] n8tuser, My webserver on my pc is one that will be used more often... but I want my thumbdrive for switching between laptop and elsewhere [06:07] nickrud: The patch I found for UDF 2.5 is for an older kernel. Is it possible that it might work on Gutsy? I have no idea if kernels are backward compatible [06:07] Im trying to automount a drive, but it wont let me put it where I want it, keeps saying has to be below /media??? its alwase worked in the past, and editing fstab doesnt do it [06:07] How can I just drag files without getting denied permission? [06:07] stefano_--> its common for me, my ip address changes often, my ISP resets their system often [06:07] stupidgirl: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=295&atid=300295 has patches for current kernels [06:08] :O [06:08] n8tuser, what is common for you? [06:08] stupidgirl, ubuntu kernels have UDF support, no need to patch [06:08] n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/m7f070826 here they are [06:08] stefano_--> that my ip address change [06:08] Seveas, UDF 2.5, not UDF [06:09] ph0rensic: where do i find thse screenlets [06:09] n8tuser, thats not the problem, it happens every 24 hours for me, but after the last one i can't get on the internet with that one machine and thats very strange [06:09] ph0rensic--> you can use your thumb drive, am just reminding you that the life cycle of thumb drive diminishes if you do read/write often to it [06:09] Fbern, I believe the package is enabled in the ubuntu repos.. try at terminal: sudo apt-get install screenlets [06:10] as i said, i havent made any changes whatsoever [06:10] I'm trying to build a program in xubuntu, it's looking for md5.h, and md5global.h, I had to manually specify the directory for the ./configuration routine to find it, now it's telling me md5.h is present, but can't be compiled [06:11] n8tuser, oh i see.. thanks for the concern... I doubt it will be used so much to cause any irregular usage .. is there a preferred method to setting this up? [06:11] stefano_--> do you use the vnic0 as some kind of tunnel to get to the internet or thats just a tunnel for special apps you use? [06:11] is there a specific chatroom for discussing compwiz fusion [06:11] Geoffrey2, What program? [06:11] nano_, type /join #compiz-fusion [06:11] n8tuser, i think it's for parallels but i'm not sure, i havent had problems before though [06:11] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [06:11] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [06:11] ph0rensic: thats for u [06:12] Jordan_U: libexo [06:12] Fbern, Oh do you have synaptic open right now? [06:12] yea sorry [06:12] ph0rensic: how is it that you know so much....thnx [06:12] fbern yah close that out .. they cant be open at the same time [06:12] stefano its hard for me to tell, i dont know if you are using a tunnel to get to the internet or you have a dsl as your access..which? [06:13] where do i find screenlets now in the menu [06:13] ph0rensic: that room is empty [06:13] nano_, I know very little compared to my colleagues such as nickrud and Jordan_U .. I guess I've learned much from the community [06:13] nano_, OK hang on [06:13] n8tuser, i have changed the DNS server from the routers ip to the real one, now it works, but how the heck did it stop working the old way all the sudden :O [06:13] ph0rensic: i just downloaded the alternate installer again from bittorrent, is there anyw ay to see if it's corrupted or not? [06:13] ph0rensic: its actually #compiz [06:13] stefano_--> assuming it is tunneled via vnic0 then perhaps the far end is not able to connect [06:13] ph0rensic: I did the apt-get install. Where do I go to find it? [06:14] nano_, _ show 187 people in compiz-fusion [06:14] stefano_--> maybe your router was not getting a dns feed? so replacing it with a real one, worked [06:15] fbern did it install ?? [06:15] Fbern, I think its in apps-accessories [06:15] yes [06:15] n8tuser, really weird. however, it works now thanks for your help [06:15] ph0rensic: thnx dude [06:15] I dont see screenlets under accessories. I see gdesklets tho [06:15] stefano_--> well if your router was not getting the dns feed, then yeah you can not resolve address so youd be stuck [06:16] nano_, If yours was empty perhaps the named was typed wrong or something??? [06:16] ph0rensic: perhaps [06:16] !screenlets | Fbern [06:16] Fbern: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [06:16] does anybody know how to change the transparency of window title bars in compiz-fusion [06:16] i have compiz [06:16] nano_, I think that takes place in emerald [06:17] nano_, Do you have emerald installed? [06:17] Anyone, i just downloaded the alternate installer again from bittorrent, is there anyway to see if it's corrupted or not? [06:17] so no clue on screenlets? [06:17] ph0rensic: i haven't activated emerald yet [06:17] Manjy, Test the md5 hash [06:17] ph0rensic: how can i do this? (sorry) [06:17] im looking at compiz-fusion-config and i cant seem find it [06:17] nano_, Do that... you have much control over the look of your system with this [06:17] Manjy, No problem your on windows right? [06:18] yes [06:18] md5sum [06:19] hi [06:19] pawan, hi [06:19] not getting splash screen of ubuntu while loading on startup [06:19] my computer has lots of broken packages, whats a util to fix them? [06:19] Manjy, Trying to locate the program [06:19] is there such thing as a social contract for ubuntu? [06:19] icesword, win doesn't come with an md5 command line tool does it? [06:19] Hello, I was having some problems with my Xubuntu virtual terminals. I looked up a potential fix on google and find these command line fixes "sudo modprobe vga16 sudo modprobe fbcon" this made the problem totally totally crazy and i just want to know how to disable what i did [06:20] pawan on yhour menu.list try to remove or uncomment hiddenmenu and also remove splash [06:20] ph0rensic, yeah, [06:20] IdleOne----> Thank you very much got it working! [06:20] icesword, its md5sum? [06:20] pawan save a copy 1st before modification okay? [06:20] ph0rensic, google it ,then download [06:20] i am thinking of trying out linux but first i want to know if my hardware will work i have a hp tx1000 tablet pc the devices i want to know will or wont work is touchscreen, intergrated webcam and mic, fingerprint scanner and the tvtunner remote [06:20] i try [06:20] what is the difference between "locate" and "find" command [06:21] icesword, Ahh thats the one where you can drag and drop in the icon? [06:21] ph0rensic: i did enable it; however, I still can't find how to change the transparency of my window titlebars [06:21] Manjy, http://etree.org/md5com.html download md5sum.exe [06:21] caspertech--> do you ever go in a dark alley with that? i may just rob you..hehe [06:21] Ububegin, the spelling :P [06:21] thanks [06:21] Fbern: what irc client are you using? [06:21] n8tuser lol [06:21] ph0rensic, i canno t quite follow u [06:21] ubuntu will not support non-free software at all? [06:21] no such option [06:21] bluefox83: :| [06:22] nano_, You have to go in and edit the current emerald theme .. also make sure you type emerald --replace in terminal to use emerald [06:22] pawan look carefully, they are there [06:22] wlnet, what u mean [06:22] ph0rensic: im pretty sure emerald is running as the changes that i am making take almost immediate effect [06:22] icesword, i have asked two questions, which one you refer to? [06:23] wlnet, the last one [06:23] wlnet--> off course it does, you just have to pay [06:23] icesword, Oh Manjy is the guy who wanted to check is alternate-disk download to make sure it wasn't corrupted .. i have used one of the md5 tools a long time ago in windows, where you drag the file yo want to check the md5 of onto the program icon which runs it and outputs the hash [06:23] icesword, like non-free packages in debian. [06:23] cannot save the file [06:23] wlnet: Ubuntu entirely support non-free. [06:23] pawan sudo or become root [06:24] is there any way to debug xorg.conf? [06:24] icesword, and i believe you are correct that this was that particular md5 tool [06:24] Manjy, You get it? [06:24] pawan you should know by now, system file mods require root access [06:24] getting it [06:24] how [06:24] wlnet: most of debian's non-free end up in multiverse [06:24] wlnet: if not all [06:24] ph0rensic, i used it before,but now i use ultraiso [06:24] !sudo |pawan [06:24] pawan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [06:24] nickrud, what is multiverse? [06:24] !multiverse [06:24] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:25] ph0rensic: so from cmd line, cd to where i downloaded it and do md5sum.exe file-to-check? [06:25] wlnet: the components link is clearest [06:25] caspertech, u pc is great,why u try linux,maybe u can try virtual machine firest [06:25] first [06:25] caspertech: You will need to get a list of the chipsets and hardware in the system to check for compatibility. [06:25] in ubuntu, do i download packages with apt sources-list which are specify non-free? [06:26] Manjy, yah [06:26] Manjy, drop the .exe part though [06:26] ok [06:26] !apt-get [06:26] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [06:26] i double clicked on menu.lst file and try to save it but [06:26] icesword because i am sick of waiting for vista sp2 [06:26] i mean "which i can specify 'non-free'?" [06:26] !apt-get | wlnet [06:26] wlnet: please see above [06:26] hm [06:26] caspertech--> we suggest you try using liveCD to get a feel [06:26] That didn't quite work as I'd hoped it would.

[06:28] frold: System, Preferences, Sessions, and then add the program there. [06:28] does anybody know how to change the transparency of window title bars in compiz-fusion [06:28] but someone need to run some progaram that won't run on linux ,then hwo [06:28] caspertech: Compiz fuckin' rules :D [06:28] how [06:28] caspertech: Don't listen to the troll.

[06:28] icesword: WINE, dual boot, virtual machine, or find an alternative. [06:28] Hi all .. I've got a hdd that just had a partition go fobar on me .. I've got more hard drives but I'm not sure what directories I need to copy to the new one. I would like to get away from a total re-install so if I can just save/backup what I need to pug it in and reboot that would be best. all but /dev maybe? [06:29] How do I end your X session, and shut down the X server? [06:29] wlnet: sure. Just mount it somewhere [06:29] sorry nickrud :) [06:29] caspertech: You may see some compatibility issues with unusual hardware, but you might like it anyway. Try the LiveCD and then go from there. [06:29] i won't bother dual boot any more [06:29] i run vm instead [06:29] icesword, You use qemu, virtualbox, vmware? [06:30] ph0rensic, then what? [06:30] no one mentioned kvm ? [06:30] ph0rensic: how long is this expected to take? [06:30] xyblor: log out, clt-alt-f2 , log in and type sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop . sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart the gui , alt-ctl-f7 to get back to the gui if needed [06:30] nickrud, no filesystem incompatibility problem? assuming i choose the same fs, ext3, for my ubuntu? === stupidgirl is now known as Aparna [06:30] Is the new Hardy kernel going to support kvm out of the box? I've got a friend that would like to know ... [06:30] nickrud: thanks very much [06:30] wlnet: none. [06:30] Manjy, Umm may take a while [06:30] ph0rensic: k then...

I was asking what vm you use [06:31] ph0rensic, i use virtual pc [06:31] NineTeen67Comet--> i believe 7.10 already does, just make sure your cpu is capable.. [06:31] is there a tutorial on switching from debian lenny to ubuntu? [06:31] caspertech: Try to look on Google for some technical information about chipsets and then look for compatibility issues with those chipsets.

[06:51] hmm ok [06:51] saff, I've had that card and when it installs, it should enable direct rendering [06:51] I am new to ubuntu. I have a toshiba Satelite L35. and I would like some help getting my sound to work. Please PM me if you can help. [06:52] yeah it says: kinit triying to resume from "a rather long location" [06:52] !patience | wayah [06:52] wayah: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:52] I'm having an issue with my NVIDIA card. I installed the restricted drivers and restarted, but the biggest resolution I'm getting is only 1074*768, which is way off what I can handle. How can I get my larger resolution back? [06:52] then: kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot [06:52] ph0rensic, I'm using compiz, does that have anything to do with it? i seem to remember something about DR when getting it working [06:52] icesword = win [06:52] chronos, Did you check your xorg.conf to see what mode is enabled? [06:52] ty [06:52] rabiddachshund, ? [06:52] rabiddachshund, what? [06:52] Anyone here use facebook screenlet? [06:53] you win. Thakns [06:53] thanks* [06:53] Where's that at ph0rensic?

[06:53] chronos /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:53] :facepalm: nevermind. :D [06:54] hey, is this the help channel for ubuntu [06:54] Luke, yes [06:54] okay i have a question about compiz fuzion [06:54] ph0rensic: It shows my card listed, and my larger resolutions are listed [06:54] ph0rensic, weird, i have compiz-fusion working fine [06:55] saff, Try glxgears from a terminal [06:55] i'm overdue for a drivers upgrade anyway though [06:55] Anyone here use facebook screenlet? Its not logging into my facebook i dont THINK [06:55] i set up all of my settings and then they dont come into effect, i am thinking it is my graphics card because it is on an older computer, do you think that is what it is [06:55] ph0rensic, hmm terrible fps [06:55] How do I check my temperatures [06:55] ph0rensic, but like i said, i can play games fine [06:55] one of my fans just definitely died lol [06:55] chronos, hmmm...try system-admin-screen ang graphics [06:56] brb [06:56] this fan is really loud [06:56] .... [06:56] ... [06:57] ph0rensic: huh? [06:57] It shows my card listed and I can select the resolution up to the 1028 [06:57] saff, that is odd.. i believe direct rendering should be enabled when the driver installs.. so when it says it isn't that bugs me.

[07:52] TerrorBite - How does regular Ubuntu run on it? I wanted to keep it nice and light, but I may make the switch to plain Ubuntu if it runs alright. [07:52] Benny Lava tiemz [07:52] computer_: You should also install compizconfig-settings-manager. It will let you tweak all the settings and let you change kb short-cuts. [07:52] hmm well i'll try doing a reconfig and rebooting again [07:52] Does cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature return the CPU temp?

[07:53] nonix4: where can I find that? [07:54] c0mp13371331337, it runs quite nicely - compiz effects work without a hitch - only downside is that it takes most of the space on the SSD (with both KDE and Gnome installed, anyway) [07:54] would the irssi theme work over ssh? [07:54] ah [07:54] warchief_ryan: yes [07:54] saff, lemme look at my file [07:54] ph0rensic: it appears to work fine in totem, odd [07:54] zackie: /var/log/Xorg.0.log most likely [07:54] psion yah mplayer prolly just sux [07:54] anyone know how to add an ubuntu pc as a member of a workgroup so it can access my samba fileserver? [07:54] ph0rensic, no sorry not the config file, the log file, in /var/log [07:54] anyway i'm gonna reboot before trying envy [07:54] brb [07:55] network manager [07:55] 64% done on install [07:55] ph0rensic: mplayer is my fav player, I just have to figure out how to get it to work dualhead [07:55] time flies when your listening to Prahbu Deva Sundaram [07:55] nonix4: nothing there its an NVidia something like 9800 gfx or something but i'm not super sure on that [07:55] hello [07:56] unfortunately, uninstalling KDE is not as simple as apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [07:56] :O [07:56] i have an error trying to install itask but my error is to big and I don't want to spam it here, would anyone be willing to help me in a PM? [07:56] psion, likely there will be a way, mplayer can do almost anything [07:56] zackie: if you run xvidtune & press the next button repeatedly, can you repeat the flicker?

[07:58] i can see what i'm typing now [07:58] how come bittorrten sucks [07:58] er, 'sensors' [07:58] TerrorBite - Hmmmm..... Thanks for the intel! :-D I just may make the switch then. As far as internal space goes, I've pretty much decided to limit the SSD to OS/programs, and use flash drives for files and storage. With the exception of the 8GB model, you're pretty much forced to use external storage if you're going to be watching movies or anything on it. [07:58] very slow come pair to ftp or http [07:58] sensor? [07:58] command not found [07:59] well bittorent depends grealty on the quality of peers and number of leechers [07:59] c0mp13371331337, indeed, I'm looking at doing the same thing myself. Perhaps getting a MMC card and leaving it in the slot permanently with /home mounted on it [07:59] amicrawler, bittorrent sucks?? perhaps you need to forward the port on your router?

[08:03] nonix4: thanks for your help though! [08:03] TerrorBite, did you see my pastebin? [08:04] TerrorBite: Yeah haha i'm super new to Ubuntu ;) [08:05] can you guys help me?http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56453/plain/ [08:05] zackie, try using the 'less' command next time, if you want to view a text file in a terminal, it will let you scroll through it using the up and down keys [08:05] Fbern: watch -n X acpi -V where X is the refresh rate in seconds... if you want to monitor temp without typing acpi cmd each time.

FreeBSD's geom is far more powerful, faster and much much simpler [08:47] graid5 status and you get a nice list of ALL devices, disks, configuration, etc. i can't find that with md raid5 so i just have to guess what /dev/md0 is.

[08:49] its to a netgear i think [08:49] there is a gtk theme "UbuntuStudio", very impressive, reminds me of the good old Encarta 98/99 [08:49] i have broadcom card [08:50] people care most about look'n'feel [08:50] it's mainly used by gay people. [08:50] Shay2: But what type of encryption are you using [08:50] WEP 64 [08:50] about 5 letters at this area [08:50] Shay2: do you have option for wpa? [08:50] or just wEP, not sure [08:50] well, at first I ned to get my adapter installed [08:51] beforei actually get to connecting [08:51] and maybe I have a WPA setting [08:51] Shay2: For some odd reason my brain is telling me I had better luck with WPA than with wep..ie.. I could only connect when using wpa [08:51] maybe [08:51] i prefer wep, but whatever works [08:51] microsoft office changes a theme every year [08:51] i just need to install it and get it runing [08:51] which I have tons of problems [08:51] wep is crackable [08:51] Shay2: Im saying maybe the wireless is working but not able to connect cause its wep [08:51] its just not appearing within the network manager [08:51] apple inc.'s founder researched truetype [08:52] XenTix: extremely crackable (BT3) [08:52] it's always about look'n'feel [08:52] yep :p [08:52] hey all. i was wondering if there was any way to change the height of the buttons in gnome. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=698288 [08:52] oh no, sorry i'm not to the connecting part yet, I meant the driver, the thing to load it into the network manager (eth0 or whatever doesn't exist anymore) [08:52] 1. how do i install the broadcom into my ubuntu [08:52] found out how to dump a windows media stream: mplayer -dumpfile dump.asf -noframedrop -dumpstream mms://url.to.the/stream.asf [08:53] Shay2: oh ha.. i gotta reboot brb hopefully!

[10:11] BlueKoala, so do you mean if I set up a user beyond the first one I made, all they have to do is type sudo and their own password and they have root access to my system? [10:11] you can use sudo but you can't use su?

[10:13] !noroot | ph0rensic [10:13] ph0rensic: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [10:13] !root | ph0rensic [10:13] ph0rensic: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:13] prince_jammys, What is sudo -i then .. just timed usage of su? [10:14] does e2fsck work on partitions mounted in read-only? [10:14] i am setting up a server, wonder should i install server or the desktop version. and i need gnome anyway [10:14] ph0rensic: sudo -i is the preferred way, but i dont remember why [10:14] ph0rensic: i believe the above link answers your question [10:16] sudo would be more secure [10:16] because then u have to also guess the username [10:17] if you are from a remote box [10:17] hey can anyone tell me how can I connect to #ubuntu-desktop? [10:17] PietroB: /join #ubuntu-desktop [10:18] gold44: you can do either one ... if you want to keep it minimal install the server and install the desktop on top. if you don't care about having everything else installed (music players, openoffice, etc) or need it, then install desktop and install a server on that. [10:18] prince_jammys, thanks an interesting read [10:18] ph0rensic: no prob [10:18] PietroB, type /join #ubuntu-desktop [10:18] thx [10:18] jpatrick, oops didn't see yours [10:19] prince_jammys: i have 160gig, space does not matter to me. how to install server after i installed desktop? [10:19] ph0rensic: that happens on this channel [10:19] !LAMP | gold44 [10:19] gold44: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [10:19] prince_jammys: i want boat loads of crap and software on it =) [10:20] gold44: then you're doing it right :) [10:20] prince_jammys: yeah!!! my server willkick some asses =) [10:20] gold44: best to follow the howto [10:20] hi again [10:21] prince_jammys: ok [10:21] can anyone tell me if there is another channel where i can look for help about sound? [10:22] hmm [10:22] quick question... [10:22] prince_jammys, You know off-hand if tasksel is still used? [10:22] will anybody here be willing to support a noobie vnc question? [10:23] !vnc | jeeaar [10:23] jeeaar: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [10:23] grr sound in ubuntu and gigabyte p-35 dq-6 [10:23] ph0rensic: tasksel still exists, but i know nothing about it ... be careful because i have seen it give problems to people here [10:23] if i place two boxes behind router. and both run sshd. i will need to set ports on both system. other than that, how to config router to forward ports? [10:23] jpatrick, it was moreso to do with a practical application of vnc. [10:24] ph0rensic: is it used to install software? [10:24] prince_jammys, I was just curious.. I use the apt installers for it [10:24] gold44: you'd need different outward facing ports for each [10:24] prince_jammys, tasksel is used for server installs, or atleast was maybe that was only feisty [10:24] jeeaar: well, ask ;p [10:24] ph0rensic: ah [10:24] * faileas has some VNC experience, but in windows [10:25] !info tasksel [10:25] tasksel (source: tasksel): Tool for selecting tasks for installation on Debian systems. In component main, is important. Version 2.67ubuntu10 (gutsy), package size 58 kB, installed size 880 kB [10:25] How do I get nice antialiased fonts in emacs... I'm using gibbon [10:25] ive got a laptop and a desktop. the desktop is set up in such a way that i can watch movies on it in bed. Im looking to have a movie running on my big screen, but still be able to quietly operate on the desktop, without the movie being intterupted on the screen. [10:26] faileas: the correct setup is. box1 setup port 122 instead of 22. and box2 set port 222 instead of 22. then on router set one port to forward to 211. and another to 222? [10:26] ~/ join [10:26] prince_jammys, I used it for a server install once, and it was very similar to the install of a server edition, except with more options of packages [10:26] ph0rensic: i see [10:26] i essentially just want to use my laptop as a keyboard/mouse/second monitor. can vnc do that? [10:26] im out for the night ttyat [10:26] faileas: will this work? [10:27] gold44: you can leave box 1 at 22. just make sure outward facing ports are different [10:27] gold44: it should other than what i pointed out above ^^ [10:27] can anyone help me, X wont start [10:27] faileas: ok thx [10:27] zackyramone, wht error [10:28] jeeaar: hmm, have the video player always on top ;p [10:28] is there any way to block 6667 ports in ubuntu desktop 7.10?

[10:28] icesword, after i installed the nvidia driver the log in screen wont show up [10:28] Kalamansi: iptables; you can do it manually, or use one of the many automated configuration utilities for it [10:29] jeeaar: didn't do it with VNC but i watch movies and IRC that way ;p [10:29] zackyramone, then you may need to uninstall the driver [10:29] Kalamansi: sure, iptables as a firewall, just use that to block the ports [10:30] jeeaar: only real issue would be screen real estate. i doubt either of them can be transpareant [10:30] I cannot access windows share from nautilus, it says not valid location when I typed smb://192.168.1.17 in address bar.

[12:28] it spins up and it appears in'computer' as a 55gb volume [12:28] ive just check dmesg and is says rejecting I/O o dead device [12:28] andyman: you may want to try to use dd to image the bad partitions to a file then loop-mount the file. if you use the conv=noerror option then it will get as much good data as possible off of it. [12:29] andyman: ...that is if it will read from it at all. [12:29] rhineheart_m: ebox in gutsy had some lacks about configuration that hardy will have.

[13:05] rhineheart_m: have never used eboxx [13:05] rhineheart_m: How did you install it? [13:06] rhineheart_m, use the synaptic manager [13:06] zhanx, the firewall is supossed to lo the urls? [13:06] keBaek, if you set it up to yes. [13:06] ok ive installed ebox, how do i access it [13:06] zhanx, thanks [13:07] keBaek, research the option for your firewall and see what it can do [13:07] zhanx: m using shh to access my server.. i'm not into GUI.. I just installed it using apt-get install ebox-all something like that.. I read it in one of the forums I was into [13:07] someone can help me to re - configure my "My Book™ World Edition™ II" ? [13:08] rhineheart_m: the command to uninstall is then in the form::: apt-get remove name_of_package [13:08] it has a web interface for enable raid 1 [13:08] rhineheart_m, use remove - apt-get remove or type apt-get for the options [13:08] i have a AC failure and i guess now my NAS isn`t ok [13:09] zhanx: but the problem is...I can't access the server anymore after I installed ebox. [13:09] kharloss: If you are having problems with the hardware itself (i.e, not an Ubuntu issue), the proper place to ask would be in #hardware [13:09] ok cant boot in ubuntu gutsy, last reboot was on the day of install, now it goes to a black screen and its been sitting there for 15 minutes blinking a _ at me, ctl+atl+f* does nothing [13:09] rhineheart_m, nice.. just a sec [13:09] anyone aware of how to remove a "program name" from the gnome taskbar menu.... is there a .conf file that contains this information like fluxbox uses.. etc? [13:10] rhineheart_m, ebox blocks ssh by default [13:10] singlesun: You mean to prevent something from showing up on the taskbar? [13:10] singlesun: Look into devilspie [13:10] singlesun: : preferences->menu editor to edit items from the gnome menus [13:11] prince_jammys, excellent... not used to gnome.. always have used flux... i will give it a shot [13:11] rhineheart_m, try telnet [13:11] singlesun: is it the taskbar or the apps menu you want to edit? [13:11] prince_jammys, apps ;) [13:12] singlesun: ok, then try what i said [13:12] Anybody knows in which file is configured what programs starts at the gnome session login? [13:13] !startup > david2 (read the private message from ubotu) [13:13] david2: that tells you how to set it up. Do you really want the file? [13:13] prince_jammys, that works... i was running around terminal looking for a gnome.conf file... lol .. suppose gui's have a little help sometimes.. lol [13:14] david2: you can also do it by gui using "Sessions" in your menu [13:14] how i can list my open ports ? [13:14] AckerMANn: netstat with some kind of switch is my guess [13:14] * _Oz_ lets out a single howl expressing his Linux ecstasy. [13:14] singlesun: yeah .... even though that app (alacarte) has caused me trouble and i ended up editing them manually, lol [13:14] jrib, yes. I need to know the file. I don't know how I made it, but now it always starts an application that is not specified on "Syestem->Preferences->Sessions" section :( [13:15] !startup [13:15] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [13:15] <_Oz_> So, has anyone here gotten Nero to work -- REALLY work -- in Wine? === ogra_ is now known as ogra [13:15] _Oz_: still trying to burn that dvd, huh [13:15] david2: there are several things you could have done. Sessions creates a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/. Can you provide more information? [13:15] <_Oz_> prince_jammys: well, I finally got one burned [13:15] _Oz_: good [13:16] damn i installed ebox, and it said configuring network interfaces and my box just died [13:16] wtf lol [13:16] Slart man, can say me how i can list my services ? ( i have ubuntu 7.10 ) [13:16] <_Oz_> prince_jammys: using gnomebaker, DeVeDe, and a mencoder flag (-ffa) [13:16] _Oz_, wow... last time i was in here you were new to ubuntu... glad to see you are sticking it out ;) [13:16] <_Oz_> prince_jammys: but it just creates a single movie with no intro/title information [13:16] _Oz_, never, tried many times [13:16] AckerMANn: hang on.. I'll have to check the fine manual [13:16] I know automatix isn't supported here but I'm looking to install some of the fonts it contains w/o using automatix (which co-incidentally has 1/4 of the apps available when installed now as it did 6 months ago) anyone know the exact packages it installs [13:16] ok, np [13:16] <_Oz_> prince_jammys: nero in windows lets you point-n-click create a nice menu and then burn a dvd of any orientation [13:16] i`m waiting. [13:16] <_Oz_> I still can't really do that in ubuntu [13:17] <_Oz_> singlesun: still pretty new to it but rapidly getting more comfortable [13:17] good to hear it [13:17] bsdnewb07: ebox blocks ssh by default [13:17] <_Oz_> I really want to stay in ubuntu most of the time and just boot into windows for things I can't do without, like photoshop and illustrator [13:17] jrib, I tried to auto-launch conky at gnome login session. I put a new entry on "Preferences->Sessions", but when I did that, conky started under the background, so it doesn't appears. [13:17] top [13:17] AckerMANn: netstat -l might give you some info.. (that's a lower case L) [13:17] AckerMANn, try top [13:17] <_Oz_> if I can burn DVDs like I do in win xp, then that's one less reason to have to reboot into XP [13:17] _Oz_: virtualbox?! [13:17] keit1: probably msttcorefonts [13:17] ok. [13:17] jrib: that does a few of them but not all [13:18] <_Oz_> keit1: I've considered it... for nero... but for photoshop/illustrator that's just too slow [13:18] top it`s ok .. how i`ll try netstat -l [13:18] _Oz_, run virtualbox .. install xp onto it... then you never really have to "leave ubuntu" lol [13:18] keit1: then you need to be more specific or read automatix's code [13:18] !fonts | keit1 [13:18] keit1: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [13:18] same goes for gsfonts-x11 [13:18] <_Oz_> singlesun: yeah, that doesn't really work from a practical perspective [13:18] <_Oz_> I'm a photoshop power user [13:18] jrib, Now I wanted to add some like "sleep 10" to wait background appears and then launch conky. But even I uncheck the conky at sessions, it still be launched when gnome starts up [13:18] <_Oz_> I can't handle going at half speed [13:18] bleh [13:18] keit1 what jrib said [13:19] ok cant boot in ubuntu gutsy, last reboot was on the day of install, now it goes to a black screen and its been sitting there for 67 minutes blinking a _ at me, ctl+atl+f* does nothing, still lookign ati t [13:19] why would ebox kill a box, all i did was apt-get install ebox-all [13:19] <_Oz_> it might work for nero but that seems ridiculous to have to install a bunch of stuff (including ANOTHER copy of windows) just to burn DVDs, which is something I feel ubuntu should be able to handle on its own, using open source software [13:19] and the box said connection terminated and now i cant connect back to it [13:19] david2: you can try deleting ~/.gnome2/session I suppose. That gets rid of your saved session though [13:19] _Oz_, ok... in that scenario i would have a mac solely dedicated to desktop publishing... ;) [13:19] <_Oz_> singlesun: heheheheh [13:19] bsdnewb07: ebox blocks ssh by default [13:19] jrib, thx [13:19] _Oz_: yes , it is ridiculous.. you should be able to do it all with ubuntu [13:19] <_Oz_> well, I'm just not a mac guy [13:19] jrib: have done and can't find *any* info... automatix looks like its dying a death [13:19] me either.. [13:19] <_Oz_> I'll stick to x86 equipment [13:20] it no longer offers gnomebaker, bluefish, etc etc [13:20] keit1: do you know the fonts name at least? [13:20] <_Oz_> keit1: I hope you didn't install that [13:20] never owned one... never will.. but they do well with photoshoppage... lol [13:20] induction [13:20] hello I have updates in my usb flash drive..how to copy/paste to ubuntu desktop 7.10? [13:20] it's a ttf [13:20] hey guys.. anyone use flock under ubuntu? was curious about a managed package rather than installing from the tar.gzip myself? [13:20] <_Oz_> keit1: did you install automatix? [13:20] I have now [13:20] * _Oz_ groans [13:20] Kalamansi, drag and drop?? [13:20] I can install it on its own using the method to install ttf [13:20] <_Oz_> keit1: well, welcome to misery... until you do a complete reinstall of your entire system. [13:21] but I'd really like to kno what fonts/package automatix install [13:21] singlesun: yes but where? [13:21] can i setup SAMBA for some windows users to login with user and password ? [13:21] brb [13:21] _Oz_: I run my OS off a flashdrive and install once a week anyhow [13:21] <_Oz_> keit1: I installed automatix on a machine, luckily it was a throwaway machine so I could restore it without losing much, but automatix quickly screws up your entire OS [13:21] keit1: i thought it just installed the microsoft package listed above [13:21] no [13:21] <_Oz_> keit1: good, next time, I recommend you DON'T install automatix [13:21] !aitp,atox [13:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about aitp,atox - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:21] it install way more [13:21] !automatix | keit1 [13:21] keit1: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [13:21] <_Oz_> you can't update your ubuntu install, it breaks lots of other stuff, etc. [13:21] hey all... I got gstreamer installed ... is there a way to re-build the .deb files from gstreamer installed version on my computer? [13:22] guys I know all about the woes of automatix so no need to enlighten me, as I stated I'm not gonna be using this install for long [13:22] <_Oz_> I'd have to agree with Pici's recommendation there. [13:22] ;) [13:22] <_Oz_> At first I thought automatix was great, too. But the restricted extras package has pretty much everything you need including fonts, and it's supported. [13:23] at present my HDD and PSU are knackered so I have to use ubuntu off a flashdrive [13:23] not ideal but hey [13:23] <_Oz_> If it sounds like I am harping on this point, it's because I am: under no circumstances, keit1, should you install automatix ever again. [13:23] lol [13:23] system services bus, how do i reactivate? [13:23] _Oz_: thats cause ubuntu has improved dramatically ;p [13:23] I just need induction for some artwork [13:23] that my friend is why I'm here to, in future, not ahve to do this again [13:23] * _Oz_ rants 'n raves. [13:23] keit1: the description tells you... This options installs a lot of extra and commonly requested fonts which do not come standard on linux distributions such as msttcorefonts, ttf-liberation, gsfonts, ttf-dustin, ttf-f500, ttf-isabella, ttf-larabie, ttf-staypuft, ttf-summersby, etc. [13:23] <_Oz_> keit1: very good. I'll step off the soapbox now. :) [13:24] kharloss, yes you can install samba for windows users to login with usr/pass... thats what samba is for [13:24] np [13:24] can I have a go on it?! [13:24] <_Oz_> Sure. Step right up! [13:24] <_Oz_> :) [13:24] I turned off system services bus, now i cant reactivate it, how can i do this? [13:24] good afternoon [13:24] jrib: where did you find that?! [13:24] <_Oz_> Good afternoon, brobostigon! [13:24] * keit1 looks pretty silly now [13:24] so anyone use flock here under ubuntu? I'm interested in a repository supplied deb package rather than setting up with the tar.gz myself. [13:25] singlesun : can you give a link or something to do this ? to configure samba for XP users conecting using every time the user and password i provide .. [13:25] <_Oz_> net||abuse: try synaptic [13:25] <_Oz_> kharloss: I have what you need [13:25] _Oz_: its not in any of the standard repos i think [13:25] _Oz_ can i prv msg you ? [13:25] kharloss, there is a #samba channel.... but the thing is... you will have to learn how to setup smb.conf.... [13:25] _Oz_, i've searched under aptitude and there's no mention of flock [13:25] <_Oz_> kharloss: no need... go to this URL and follow the instructions [13:25] <_Oz_> http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-on-win-network.htm [13:25] keit1: in automatix source. The actual command seems to be in usr/etc/automatix2/ax_data/gutsy.autoscript [13:26] kharloss, also... you may also consider using SWAT to config Samba .... do some google work.... on SWAT and samba [13:26] jrin: cheers I'll go have a look [13:26] kharloss, also the #samba channel ;) [13:27] NET||abuse: maybe try googleing it? [13:27] singlesun it`s a long story ... i try configure ubuntu on my "Western Digital Mybook World Edition" [13:27] it`s just a NAS [13:27] with a tinny CPU ` [13:27] !smaba [13:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about smaba - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:27] faileas, i've looked,, not seeing a managed package.. was just curious if anyone knew of one. [13:27] !samba [13:27] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [13:28] oh yeah, speaking of which, are there any recommended additional repos i should consider for feisty? i got medibuntu, and the KDE4.0 one, but other than that? [13:28] <_Oz_> faileas: feisty? why not upgrade to gutsy? [13:28] type, i meant gutsy ;p [13:28] kharloss, i mean... im not just gonna tell you how to configure your smb.conf file... there is a #samba channel... "google SWAT and Samba" this is the #ubuntu channel [13:28] *typo [13:28] ... i typoed typpo [13:29] tpyo [13:29] ... [13:29] ARGH [13:29] prince_jammys, having a rough day with the typage.. lol [13:29] faileas, got the Wine and Swiftfox repos here [13:29] * faileas sets the typodemon on ffire [13:29] singlesun: thats eveyr day for me [13:29] *everyday even.. lol [13:31] jrib: how did you access the source I just checked out the readonly code from googlecode and there's nothing there that looks like the code I need [13:31] <_Oz_> hey, check it out... dell is now offering ubuntu laptops!

I did it, but it always starts under the background and I can't see it [13:32] <_Oz_> jrib: you're actually telling him how to install automatix? :) [13:33] <|Dreams|> ok thanks [13:33] _Oz_: i'll stick to my thinkpads ;p [13:33] anyone here formiliar with adding a start sequence to the boot of linux root [13:33] <_Oz_> faileas: does wireless work for them? [13:34] _Oz_: its usually an intel 2100/2200. they are supported quite well in linux [13:34] <_Oz_> Very well, faileas. [13:34] my r51 basically worked out of the box with ONE small change in settings [13:34] <_Oz_> faileas: it's just a good sign that Dell, who sells so many darn computers, is selling (and supporting!) Ubuntu machines now. [13:35] david2: how did you do it? you put it in /usr/share/autostart? [13:35] (ok, and a 17.5 hour install caused by 3 bad disks, a non working official live CD, my windows registry being corrupted (!) and a VERY unorthodox install method...) [13:35] so dell if finally stepping out of the no nonsence windows or bust attitude ... nice :) [13:35] Asra: if they sell basically 'standard' reference designed systems it makes sense to [13:36] I CAN'T WATCH .DAT FILS [13:36] prince_jammys, no. I put it in System->Preferences->Sessions [13:36] I always kinda hated Dell for bringing only the most user standard systems to the buyer [13:36] jrib: I'm guessing all of those fonts are not available in the standard repos... if I wanted to install them in future w/o automatix is there a way [13:36] !fotns | keit1 [13:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about fotns - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:36] prince_jammys, you can put commands in /etc/rc.local - there should be a brief description of it in the comment header [13:36] keit1: I'm guessing they are. Which one is not?

[13:37] dell is mainly when for when you want very large orders IMO ;p [13:37] _Oz_: ditto [13:37] hi [13:37] how to hide desktop icons in kubuntu [13:37] (and despite the fact that i'm mostly a dedicated windows user ;p) [13:37] jrib: maybe I'm wrong, maybe they are! :0) [13:38] Can ANYONE please tell me why an scp transfer times out after 5 min or so? I can send small files, but large or multiple small files stop transfering, and I get an error saying that the ubuntu ssh server is not responding. I'm transfering through a local network. Ubuntu is sending files and windows with cygwin is receiving files. Any ideas?? [13:38] I'm a windows user trying to learn linux ... so I'm kind of a loser telling I hate Dell although I use windows myself :D [13:38] david2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=386078&highlight=conky+start discusses what you want to do [13:38] * brobostigon missed the shuttle launch thi morning at 11:30 gmt, because real player wouldnt play the nasa tv stream properly, [13:39] pawan you are on a gnome desktop, correct? === wng-- is now known as wng- [13:39] Asra: nothing wrong with being a windows user ;) [13:39] <_Oz_> Asra: I'm pretty much in the same boat [13:39] jrib, thanks [13:39] pawan_: you are in a gnome desktop, right? [13:39] <_Oz_> I use XP about 50-60% of the time [13:39] faileas and Asra. There isn't something wrong with supporting microsoft though.

[13:48] I also gives me a log file [13:48] guys i need some help setting up ubuntu as a gateway, basically i have a freebsd server that has IPs but no gateway, so i want to make the ubuntu server act as the gateeway ... anyone know any good tutorials or could help me? [13:48] Whitor: The name isn't in any DNS -- it only responds via its windows name. [13:49] e.g. I can connect using "smbclient -L '//wibble'", but I would like to VNC to this machine, and so I need to work out its IP address. Most frustrating! [13:49] sofiankrt, if it's an error about an invalid drive ("/dev/sda2: No such device" etc), you need to edit your /etc/fstab file [13:49] i wanna disable the screen saveeer ! [13:49] aidehua, have you tried to ping it? [13:49] Whitor: of course :D [13:49] hey..im using a D-link wireless compact flash card but I cannot locate any wireless interfaces with iwconfig..can anyone help me? [13:50] Thirsteh: All my partitions are working, as far as I know [13:50] funny... I can ping my windows hosts w/o a dns resolution [13:50] Whitor: I have tried to resolve its "Windows name" as if it were in a DNS. There is no DNS for this internal network, apparently. [13:50] Can ANYONE please tell me why an scp transfer times out after 5 min or so? I can send small files, but large or multiple small files stop transfering, and I get an error saying that the ubuntu ssh server is not responding. I'm transfering through a local network. Ubuntu is sending files and windows with cygwin is receiving files. Any ideas?? [13:50] aidehua, rightclick whatever it is you see and see if the IP is listed in 'Properties' or similar, also, make sure you just ping the name, not with the backslashes included [13:50] i wanna disable the screen saveeer ! how can i do it ? [13:50] yeah... the name does not include the \\ [13:51] Thirsteh: Unfortunatly, I don't have anything to right-click. I'm at the command line :D [13:51] aidehua, how do you see him/her/it then? [13:51] can someone please help me? [13:51] Thirsteh: smbclient can turn UNC path names into IP addresses, somehow. [13:51] i wanna disable the screen saveeer ! how can i do it ? [13:51] Thirsteh: (I'm seeing the machine by running "smbclient -L '//wibble'" [13:52] lollo: I think I can help with that [13:52] i have a question about joomla and the SQL permissions [13:52] after I changed the ebox system time.. I could no longer enter into the web interface... anybody here has the solution? [13:52] aidehua, I'd suggest having a look at 'man smbclient'. I'd look for you, but it's not available to me right now [13:52] go to system > preferences > screensaver [13:52] lollo: preferences -> screen saver [13:52] oops [13:52] KnightWse, this is #ubuntu, go to #joomla [13:53] prince_jammys: come on, let me help him! I need to give something back to the community! [13:53] lollo, from memory System --> Preferences --> Screensaver. and then click 'mode', and select 'disable screen saver'. [13:53] hey , its more about sql [13:53] that item shockingly controls the screensaver [13:53] guys i need some help setting up ubuntu as a gateway, basically i have a freebsd server that has IPs but no gateway, so i want to make the ubuntu server act as the gateeway ... anyone know any good tutorials or could help me? [13:53] KnightWse, then go to #mysql or #postgresql or #sqlite [13:53] KnightWse...what problem you encounter? [13:53] thanx thirsteh [13:53] KnightWse, depending on what you use, of course :-) [13:53] ok, so can someone please help me now [13:54] aidehua, conect to your windows host ... then in a terminal type netstat [13:54] I would like to know what user permissions i should give the Joomla SQL database [13:55] excuse me, but what was that website to upload all the output I get to? [13:55] Whitor: I don't think you've quite understood the problem :D [13:55] sofiankrt, google 'pastebin' [13:55] Thanks for your time though :) [13:55] sofiankrt, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [13:56] #KnightWse Joomla you have to provide all the permission to the user of mysql ur using for joomla [13:56] hallo [13:57] aidehua, if you can connect with smbclient... netstat will show you your active connections [13:57] so thats create user / alter routinge /create routine / show view / creat view / cliet replication / slave replication ... etc etc ? [13:57] but... ok, nm [13:57] i am some question... [13:57] Thirsteh: so I'm getting this log file: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56476/ [13:57] rhineheart_m: any idea ? [13:58] Whitor: "netstat" is a command for the windows shell, not for smbclient(1). [13:58] i use crontab ex) /usr/bin/mp3blaster norai.mp3 but it didn't work . what's problem [13:58] ?? [13:58] KnightWse: where do you create user? in the myphpadmin? [13:59] sofiankrt, the UUID is just an alias for a partition/device. If you unplugged a device or formatted a partition (with ext3), rectify it by commenting out its entry in /etc/fstab [13:59] back [13:59] Thirsteh: right. so how do I do that? [13:59] rhineheart_m , Im using the mysql in webmin [13:59] seems it worked Thirsteh ... but now it seems to run double .. so I guess I installed the whole thing wrong [14:00] THANKS ! [14:00] sofiankrt, fire up some editor, "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" (GUI) or "sudo nano -w /etc/fstab" (CLI) and have a look around. To disable a drive, simply put a pound sign in front of it to comment it out (#) [14:01] Thirsteh: but I've formatted a lot of partitions, how do I know which one is causing the problem? [14:01] a pound sign? [14:01] KnightWse: better do it outside... in the shell: here is the guide for you.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joomla [14:01] NthDegree, # [14:01] ah [14:01] hi out there [14:02] i think my apt is broken :( [14:02] could please anyone help me?

[14:02] what error message do you get c0de [14:02] well eh... i had a problem with my ext3 [14:02] sofiankrt, I suppose you have to figure out what the UUID means in lament terms (e.g. /dev/sda4) but I can't tell you how, sorry, never tried [14:02] and now i dont seem to get updates from apt-get [14:02] i dont get an error message [14:03] hello all, :-) I have a simple query- what is the command that refreshes Desktop when we Press CTRL+R or F5 in Gnome Desktop/Nautilus browser... [14:03] I think it is not xrefresh [14:03] c0de, there haven't been any updates for a while [14:03] i have to mention that i use hardy [14:03] Thirsteh: never mind, thank you anyway [14:03] rhineheart_m: I found somewhere it should be select , update and insert [14:03] c0de: try sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [14:03] for hardy?

[14:04] hello all, :-) I have a simple query- what is the command that refreshes Desktop when we Press CTRL+R or F5 in Gnome Desktop/Nautilus browser... [14:04] I think it is not xrefresh [14:04] hello.. anybody here uses ebox?

[14:05] OK.bye [14:05] sure but the problem is not hardy i think [14:05] c0de: have you tried sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ?

To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [14:05] you need to clean out the apt cache before saying it's 100% broken :P [14:05] bazhang: i _know_ but i dont think it's a problem with hardy... [14:06] anybody here uses ebox? I just changed the system time through there...I can't access the web interface anymore... [14:06] c0de: if you are running hardy you should ask there [14:06] any idea with the acpid daemon??? [14:06] i even removed pkgcache.bin [14:07] tried apt-cache gencaches? [14:07] no [14:08] if you've wiped out the binary caches that way you may need to regenerate them [14:08] hi...i just did 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' to try out kde. how do i remove it? [14:08] >_< [14:08] sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop [14:08] so i did apt-cache gencaches [14:08] but that does not change anything... [14:08] hmm [14:09] maybe there aren't any new updates yet [14:09] how do I disable a partition in /etc/fstab? === _emgent is now known as emgent [14:09] sofiankrt: put a # in front of it.

If I try to open synaptic manager, or just wait a few minutes, it freezes my linux box... [14:11] Thirsteh: the first character in the line? before the uuid? [14:11] Jigs: as a general way of fixing it you could try using grub-install to reinstall grub [14:11] sofiankrt: the very first :: #UUID=blahblah [14:11] sofiankrt, the very first character on the line must be #, yes, before everything [14:11] i tried that but kde is still installed...it just removed the metapackage but not the entire kde desktop [14:11] Thirsteh: great! thank you! let's see if it works... [14:11] tech0007: if you want all of kde gone that badly then remove kdebase [14:11] sofiankrt, be careful not to comment out your '/' drive :) [14:12] jigs is this an older computer? are you dual booting? [14:12] yes am dual booting [14:12] my computer is celeron 2.6ghz [14:13] jigs that error relates to the /boot partition being too large for the BIOS of that machine [14:13] guys will apt-get uninstall ebox-all remove any firewall changes ebox made?

[14:23] music`freak: can you read from it otherwise or does it just not mount? --- meaning can you browse to it [14:23] rooney what is controlling the access to the disks ? e [14:23] i need to access it.

I just log on the webserver and use it? [14:24] how do i go about rectifying it prince_jammys? [14:24] ikonia: then what? :) [14:24] and then i don't know the root password, so i tried to change it to see if i can still get in [14:24] Newbuntu2: try it [14:24] rooney: what are the logs saying ? [14:24] Nthdegree: how can i access my ftp server again [14:24] hk2999: There is not root password. [14:24] music`freak: what is the full path of the drive ? eg /media/blah/blah [14:24] ikonia: kernel panic (distributed lock manager) [14:25] hk2999: got a second account on it? [14:25] hk2999 if your doing this for a client, you should know the basics of running your server [14:25] ikonia: 2-3 later the full machine is dead [14:25] rooney: just checking a few things, won't be a minute [14:25] ikonia i know im sorry [14:25] ikonia: 2-3 minutes.. [14:25] what does this command line do?? export DISPLAY=IP_ADRESS_OF_XTERMINAL[:0.0] ?? [14:25] its not my server, its hosted on somewhere else [14:25] hk2999: canonical do paid for supports === bmeynell is now known as bmeynellAWAY [14:25] bazhang: no.. it was a package. so it was already there. my HD is MAXTOR capacity 40.1 [14:25] hk2999: you may want to consider paying a canonical employee if you have now crippled your clients server [14:25] the moderator left an i am the only one qualified to replace him [14:25] rooney: and you really use dlm ?? iirc it used on distributed file systems like ocfs and the like... [14:25] hk2999: clearly you are not qualified [14:26] anyone got a clue? [14:26] hk2999: purchase a support package from canonical [14:26] jigs then the /boot partition you set is too large for that BIOS [14:26] .../media/sda8 prince_jammys [14:26] erUSUL: clvm needs dlm [14:26] bazhang: what should i do sir? [14:26] music`freak: try the following (will make a link)::: ln -s /media/sda8 ~/Desktop [14:26] Asra: it is esporting a shell variable [14:27] bazhang: install it again?

[14:27] music`freak: done [14:27] jigs which did you install first? the xp or the ubuntu? you should back up any important items, then create a small /boot partition at the beginning of the disk say about 32MB [14:27] only it shows up as a 'folder' with a diff. icon [14:27] hi anyone who know how to sniff a wep chap?? [14:27] hk2999: or pay a techie to fix it :P [14:28] Woifi1988: to what end? [14:28] no i can fix it myself [14:28] music`freak: right click on it, go to properties, click on the icon and change it to anything you lije [14:28] rooney: this may be stating the obvious but it appears your joiinng cluster can't get disk access due to an exclusive lock [14:28] prince_jammys: so u basically created a shortcut to the /media/sda8 directory? [14:28] i have a copy of the passwd file [14:28] am i right? [14:28] hk2999: sure, fo on then. [14:28] hk2999: good luck, [14:28] hk2999: then why did you ask us? [14:28] :S [14:28] i need help [14:28] heh [14:28] ikonia: hmm [14:28] music`freak: correct, ln -s creates a symbolic link to that file --- points to that folder [14:28] what is ln? [14:28] link? [14:28] what if i replaced the x after the username in the passwd file with a string? [14:28] hk2999 canonical does paid for support for business customers, excellent deals [14:28] music`freak: link [14:28] & the -s switch? [14:28] ikonia: it is a 2 node cluster [14:28] music`freak: yes [14:28] what becomes the passwsord? [14:29] Asra: Display tells X windows apps where to display it is interfaces... if yu launch any x app from the shell they will display on the xserver running in the machine with IP_ADRESS_.... [14:29] ikonia, the server is not ubuntu i think its rhel [14:29] music`freak: symbolic ---- do man ls for details [14:29] hk2999: /etc/shadow should contain the password [14:29] hk2999: this is basic stuff - you should know this if you are running a server for paying customers [14:29] its not mine [14:29] I install XP first then after defrag, i install ubuntu.. but after upgrading ubuntu to latest patch. then error 18 encountered [14:29] K Brb ..... [14:29] hk2999: this is ubuntu support - so don't ask here. Also redhat and ubuntu behave the same - so don't use that excuse [14:29] hk2999: on RHEL /etc/password does NOT contain the password [14:29] NthDegree no, the problem is i corrupted the /etc/passwd file [14:29] ikonia: without xen it works like a charm [14:29] jigs this is gutsy? [14:29] ive got admin:something:: etc. [14:29] rooney ahhh thats interesting [14:29] K ... [14:29] rooney researching some more [14:29] hk2999: then simple: replace it with a working one [14:29] i thought it would work [14:29] yeah [14:29] while were at it... [14:29] hk2999: we don't support redhaht here [14:29] Asra: by default DSPLAY points to the first display on the local machine [14:29] hk2999: please stop asking for redha support [14:30] NthDegree how the admin thing is how i can get in it [14:30] what is the need to 'mount' drives in Linux? [14:30] hk2999: get one from someone from #fedora :P [14:30] music`freak: to be able to access them through the operating system [14:30] hello [14:30] hk2999: Ask in #fedora or #rhel [14:30] anyone ever configured ubuntu to act as a gateway? [14:30] music`freak: they must be mounted to be accessed -- they have to be incorporated into the file system [14:30] but u don't 'mount' drives in XP [14:30] ikonia: i will provide you more logs if you need in msg for example [14:30] its just 'there' [14:30] bsdnewb07: acting as one now [14:30] music`freak: they are mounted automatically [14:30] rooney: stick them in a pastebin so it's easy to read if its not confidentital [14:30] i need some help setting mine up [14:30] hi all [14:30] Pardon my ignorance [14:30] ikonia: ok [14:31] its just thats its my first try with Linux [14:31] music`freak: IF XP recognizes the file system [14:31] erUSUL: So basically its to help display errors and/or msg's? [14:31] basically i have ubuntu setup to access the internet [14:31] whats up [14:31] and freebsd that cant access the internet [14:31] ive been assigned 5 ips from my hosting provider [14:31] that i want to allow freebsd to bind to but via ubuntu [14:31] hi, people. I try to used plustek OpticBook 3600 (scanner) on Ubuntu. it's possible? thanks [14:32] i cant just bind them direct with freebsd because the ips dont have there own gateway [14:32] !hcl | zup1 [14:32] zup1: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [14:32] music`freak: windows uses C: D: E: and all that, linux has one file system "/" --- everything gets mounted after that --- it allows you to mount that drive to whatever folder (called mount point) you want --- and when you access that folder, you go to the drive [14:32] K [14:32] and / is referred to as 'root' , right? [14:32] hello all, could I get some help to reduce the memory usage of my Ubuntu system? [14:32] well .. time to retry installing .. see you guys later. [14:33] the 'parent' directory [14:33] Asra: no if you lauch firefox it will try to draw itself on the remote machine not in yours if the DISPLAY variable points to the remote machine [14:33] music`freak: / is the root folder, as opposed to "root" the root user [14:33] K [14:33] I am trying to create a lightweight Ubuntu system, and I realized that Xorg is using a huge amount of memory [14:33] music`freak: EVERYTHING falls under /, unlike windows with C: A: D: and so on [14:33] rahim123: don't believe all the stats on that [14:33] Understood :) [14:33] hello [14:33] rahim123: it counts graphics memory too in with that [14:34] NthDegree:well, they are my stats :-) [14:34] so even the 'mounted' drives come under / [14:34] unlike XP [14:34] music`freak: correct [14:34] music`freak: in your case, they are in /media [14:34] The FAQ page from this channel topic is blank [14:34] Understood [14:34] the thing is, I installed the base command line system, and then installed a few lightweight X apps [14:34] so... What's the recommended way to install flash plugin on ubuntu? [14:34] music`freak: once you get acquainted with this, you will find it is more logical, and more flexible [14:34] Toese [14:34] CrazyTB: we are the faq ;] [14:34] rahim123: yes but most if not all stats incorrectly identify it as a RAM hog.. if you have a cheapy graphics card like an NVIDIA TurboCache card or the like.. then it will do 128MB RAM+ because of the graphics card [14:34] !flash | CrazyTB [14:34] CrazyTB: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [14:34] CrazyTB: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [14:35] !flash | CrazyTB [14:35] could u elaborate prince_jammys? [14:35] NthDegree: right, that's what I want to change [14:35] hi all. a real noob question: i want to install http://dl.fancycode.com/red5/0.6.3/debian/red5_0.6.3-1_all.deb on a machine that i only have ssh access to. how do i accomplish this? [14:35] as in, the advantages? [14:35] hello all [14:35] Pici, IIRC, that didn't help [14:35] hey was up prince_jammys [14:35] but I will try again [14:36] music`freak: ability to incorporate a drive into whatever folder name you want [14:36] wazaaaaa :D [14:36] I installed a few lightweight X apps, and it was only using about 40 MB with the VESA driver. [14:36] yes [14:36] rahim123: I wouldn't worry about it too much, you'll know when you're totally out of RAM - but if you want to lighten it up a bit I have a few tips [14:36] I have Ubuntu 7.x running within VMWare for Mac [14:36] works fine [14:36] * remove Xorg e [14:36] hakerx: you have an issue? [14:36] though it has lots of glitches [14:36] extensions* [14:36] * colour depth at 16 not 24 [14:36] CrazyTB: If you had installed it a few weeks ago, and it wasn't working, you may have to remove it and reinstall it again. [14:36] the best is freebsd and lighttp :) [14:36] hello, im using psybnc and i typed: /addserver irc.freenode.org :6668, but no new server window opens: what to do? i waited for 10 mins [14:36] than all flys [14:36] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56479/ [14:36] * use proprietary drivers [14:36] But the VESA driver doesnt do wide screen, so I had to use the Xorg "intel" driver, and from there it shoots up to around 130 MB of RAM usage [14:37] oh boy... [14:37] see this is what I mean [14:37] I also need to make XP my default OS in the boot loader(Grub). How do i go about that prince_jammys? [14:37] zup1 it suggests here that you have an unsupported scanner ... http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html [14:37] it isn't using that much more system ram [14:37] but offt0pic here hakerx [14:37] that is video ram [14:37] Pici, last week I tried marking it for reinstall in synaptic, but it didn't work. [14:37] Pici, well, I will try again [14:37] rahim123: can that do 3d? [14:37] SuSe had a seperate GUI utility for changing the OS [14:37] *boot order [14:37] it's the number from "free", I don't use any 3d apps, but yees the card is barely capable [14:38] it's an Intel 915GM, 1200x800, a cheap Dell B130 laptop [14:38] rahim123: if it does 3D then that is why the used RAM count is higher.. because it's using Video Memory which goes in with the reported count [14:38] that's a real dream pc :D [14:38] can anyone talk me through setting up ubuntu as my gateway?

[14:39] thanks mate [14:39] bazhang ot ?

Or just edit sources.list directly and add multiverse to the gutsy-updates line [15:01] mysterycool: is this the icons are bigger or the resolution has changed? [15:01] mysterycool, i had the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago, I knew i hadn't installed anything new or changed any settings, so I rebooted and it was back to normal, is your screen resolution lower than you'd normally expect?

[15:03] mysterycool, what would normal be? mine dropped from 1600x1200 to 1024*800, rebooting solved my problem [15:04] dgjones: ill ill reboot and check [15:04] jrib [15:04] arelis : no, you'll have to defrag from windows [15:04] jrib problem was that my printer drivers (from foomatic) dissappeared when I tried to share the printer, so had to resort to brother drivers [15:04] flicck: Alright. Any other measurements i'd have to take? (When i tried resizing a previous time, i had a crashing chkdisk) [15:05] Pici, jrib, I did that... Let me try to update and see what happens...

[15:17] thanks, I try [15:17] felin, allez aux #ubuntu-fe , vous besoin d'entre come ca, sans "", "/join #ubuntu-fe" [15:18] when i right click no menu why [15:18] excuse moi, c'est #ubuntu-fr, pas fe [15:18] hehe [15:18] ngoato if you do kill a process, would you expect to finish the install?

[15:19] aha [15:19] I don't know but the system is trying to access a repository when it is not connected to a network. It says the "Select and install software" is 85% complete and "installed tomboy" [15:20] it should show a drop-down menu with "change background" as the last option [15:20] no menu [15:20] does your right mouse button work in other situations? [15:20] any other way [15:20] hi [15:20] yes [15:20] hmm [15:20] another way would be [15:20] ngoato: do you have the cd enabled as a software source in synaptic? [15:20] hello did someone succeed using b43 driver for bcm? [15:21] system --> preferences --> appearance [15:21] then the second tab [15:21] if anybody knows how to recover an unmountable vfat partition detected by BIOS (but command "mount" gives error in superblock) --> zsiavas has this problem, wants to use testdisc [15:21] thanks [15:22] bazhang, this is a new install on a travelmate 2353LCi and so I have not accessed any programs from the desktop yet. I am trying to complete the initial installation and found out about the network access by pressing alt f4 [15:23] prince_jammys: you are the man.i strart reading the manual [15:24] zsiavas1: yeah, a difficult problem [15:24] amenado, how do i find out which processes are running. Sorry if the question is elementary but I dont have much experience with Linux [15:24] how do you use a midi-keyboard with the jack server? [15:25] Greetings. I am checking the Ubuntu forums, but fail to find any forum regarding the latest Ubuntu development (now Hardy Heron). Is there such a forum? === floobi is now known as n1179 [15:25] ngoato: top or htop if you install it [15:25] !hardy | hansderagon [15:25] hansderagon: 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 [15:25] ngoato ps -aux but again you have not answered my querries why you have a desire to kill a process during install? [15:25] !hardy | hansderagon === faileas____ is now known as faileas [15:26] Hm, quiet today, eh? [15:26] hi people, can anybody out there tell me how i can get a webcam logitech quickcam 9.5 usb or my printer lexmark x1290 all in one working? [15:27] Hello everybody, someone use amarok to give a litle help ? [15:27] guys, how do i setup an ubuntu server as a gateway [15:27] ngoato: it's not an application that comes standard with linux(i think) but you can download the "system monitor" app, which shows up in system --> administration [15:27] steven__: Usualyl webcams "just work". what are you trying to test it out with? [15:27] bsdnewb07: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing [15:27] how do you use a midi-keyboard with the jack server? [15:27] sirius-black: iirc, it's installed by default in ubuntu [15:27] amsn [15:27] !webcam | steven__ [15:27] steven__: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [15:28] ricardoromao: what is the issue? [15:28] !easycam | steve__ [15:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about easycam - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:28] amenado, the machine seems to be hanging but when I look at the output console at alt F4 is see "could not resolve intacc.up.ac.za. I thought that i could kill apt-get to allow the install to complete. Would this be a good aproach? [15:28] ngoato actall it is preferable to have the network not available to rush the install, if you do have a network it attempts to connect, do upgrades and downloads some more stuff which elongates the install time.so without network it will time out and complete the install [15:28] How would I go about installing only the small cli-only ubuntu-standard system? How big a difference is there from this and ubuntu-server? [15:28] thanks, ill give it a try [15:29] bazhang, thanks. I do wonder why forums are not being used for that. But at least, I can now check the discussions. [15:29] starnestommy: what do you mean?? [15:29] steven__, your cam is one that works with ubuntu, I believe. Please test it with Ekiga, camorama or/and cheese [15:29] Sarthor : any luck? [15:29] ngoato no need to kill anything, let it time out by itself. so it can complete the install [15:29] I can`t load the All Collection, and I dont have any error [15:29] np [15:29] sirius-black: the system monitor? [15:29] nox-Hand: I believe there is no difference [15:29] has anyone been running User Mode Linux in Ubuntu 7.10? [15:29] is it possible with Ubuntu 7.10 ? [15:29] BigSlim === slim is now known as BigSlim [15:29] where's that then? i can't find it [15:29] can some one please tell me that ? [15:29] linux__alien: Not a clue what user mode even is. [15:29] linux__alien: what are you trying to do [15:30] how do you use a midi-keyboard with the jack server? [15:30] nox-Hand: as far as i know, there would be no difference. ubuntu server is just the base ubuntu plus some server packages [15:30] danbhfive: Righto, I think I should ask the ubuntu-server guys about that then :) [15:30] how can i rename the label of my harddisk? [15:30] hey, does anyone know where I can find the code that does the force checking after so many mounts [15:30] I want to modify it [15:30] how do you use a midi-keyboard with the jack server? [15:30] bazhang, thanks for replying. i ve downloaded the vanilla kernel and compiled it for ARCH=um and when i booted it i was unable to set up networking between the host and the UML. i ve also set up tap interfaces in the Host system too [15:30] If I installed Ubuntu with Gnome, how can I change the desktop manager to KDE? [15:31] linux__alien-> i believed there are modules that used to be in the kernel side and now are in the user mode side, and they do work in 7.10 [15:31] byan: thats fsck [15:31] sirius-black: A good place to start would be google. http://www.ubustu.com/globe/2007/05/29/how-to-configure-jack-in-ubuntu-studio/ [15:31] brobostigon: no, the script that force fscks after 30 mounts or so [15:31] kubuntu-desktop Apogee [15:31] bazhang, i just want to enable networking in UML just a ping is enough for hacking into things [15:31] Apogee : sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [15:31] I want to find the script that calls fsck [15:31] bazhang: I cant load the All Collection playlist and the amarok dont give me any log error [15:31] bazhang, is it possible ? [15:31] flick I tried it - and it says package not found [15:31] bazhang, can you tell me what i am missing ? [15:32] sirius black, thank you, the machine now seems to have moved on to "select and install software" 97% complete without me having had to kill anything. [15:32] linux__alien: not sure what uml is--could you elaborate? [15:32] Apogee : kubuntu-desktop isn't found? [15:32] linux__alien-> if you can find the /etc/network/interfaces this is where ubuntu keeps its network configs [15:32] Apogee: at login in the buttom right there is a button to change session type and u can pick ur desktop env. (kde, gnome fluxbox) [15:32] ricardoromao: you right clicked and selected add to playlist? [15:32] amenado, yes its not a problem with the host [15:32] i feel [15:32] Apogee: sorry buttom left, [15:32] amenado: Not true with gutsy. THey use network-manager for that [15:32] linux__alien-> firmware is in /lib/firmware/`uname -r` [15:32] ok thanks i'll check it now [15:32] amenado, firmware? [15:33] why firmware? [15:33] ubuntunut-> not true? are you sure, go see the /etc/network/interfaces if you have it [15:33] uname -r [15:33] harm: he hasnt installed kubuntu [15:33] 2.6.22-14-generic [15:33] amenado, thats mine [15:33] Byan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=139783 [15:33] amenado: I do not. I use wpa_supplicant and some other stuff to connect to my UNI [15:33] bazhang: I just right-click on All Collection and then click on Load, the interessant is, was work fine until yesterday [15:33] hi I'm looking for a software that will automaticly send a mail for exp.: every day at 7pm [15:33] Pici: I know about tune2fs..., but what does tune2fs change [15:34] I was the cange the script itself [15:34] ubuntunut-> even then, just go and see if you have that /etd/network/interfaces file [15:34] amenado:But as far as I knwo on a default install it's pretty much blank except for loopback. If it's set to roaming in netwrok manager, the program handles everything as far as I know [15:34] ajitam: use a cli mail client and a cron job [15:34] amenado: ... I do. [15:34] hi [15:34] amenado: But nothing is in it. Because I don't use that file. [15:34] how can i keep multiple versions of packages and switch between them? [15:34] amenado: Except for the loopback info [15:34] ricardoromao: what changed since yesterday? was there something you added, or an update? [15:34] ubuntunut and its stock on debian system to use that interfaces file to stash network configs [15:34] like have ruby 1.8.4 and ruby 1.8.6 [15:35] erUSUL: what is a cli mail client [15:35] Byan: I really don't know, sorry.

Thus, all interfaces that were previously managed by network-manager will be set to roaming mode during upgrade. [15:35] amenado: Technically, this takes any interface stanzas using the dhcp method with no options and that are marked auto, and removes them from /etc/network/interfaces. [15:36] Pici: yeah, thanks anyway [15:36] ubuntunut so far as you know, you are lacking some info, again visit the /etc/network/interfaces and see what you pasted about this file [15:36] bazhang: FYI, I use ubuntu 7.10 64 bits with amarok 1.4 [15:36] ricardoromao: and you told amarok where to look for music? there are no error messages? it just opens and refuses to play that new music--or all the music [15:36] amenado: I keep telling you I _don't use that file_ [15:36] amenado: I use wpa_supplicant to connect to my University. [15:36] ubuntunut if you are so sure, go ahead and delete it and see if it makes a difference [15:37] ubuntunut: amenado is trying to help... [15:37] ubuntunut i dare you remove that file and see if youget a network [15:37] Couldn't find package kde-desktop [15:37] bazhang: I wasn't asking a question, though. I was telling someone else something. [15:37] Apogee: its kubuntu-desktop [15:37] oops [15:37] bazhang: if I click to play any playlist, they work fine, but if I click to load the All Collection, they just dont load and dont give me any log/message error [15:38] amenado, sirius-black, bazhang, the machine finally has timed out of the various applications and says "installation complete" I will try and boot up to see if the installation is successful. Thank you for the help. [15:38] linux__alien getting back to you, you have network capabilities now? [15:38] ngoato: ok [15:38] hi. how do i install the java runtime on ubuntu? i just need the java5 jre, but i don't know where and how to get it.

[15:43] amenado, why should UML run in qemu. The whole concept of UML is to simulate something like that so why run UML inside an other virtual environment ? [15:43] amenado: brobostigon: it seems to be correct (generated by NetworkManager), but i can't tell how it will look like after i connect somewhere else [15:43] danbhfive: Can you select a single process and show an avarage cpu/mem usage with top?

Now my primary monitor a 17' crt has like an extended/oversized view where it autoscrolls at edges with mouse. [16:29] artti: Install 7.10 [16:30] hi guys, i have an ibm thinkpad T41, and when i dock it, the video no longer works, i think its defaulting to the dock VGA output, any idea how to stop that? [16:30] artti: if doing an install, choose to be a server [16:30] anyone have ever buy anything on: http://www.computerpartsinsider.com/ ? [16:30] usr13, can't and don't ask. [16:30] Morning everybody. [16:30] SHyTRiGGeR, any reason why your not using PASV (Passive) ? [16:30] artti: I would highly suggest you install at least fluxbox as a windows manager. It's very fast, has few options, and will give you so much more. I've been told it's a bad idea to unistall the desktop unless you are positive that you want to run console only programs [16:31] P1ro: Try asking in ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic [16:31] I'm have a minor issue that I don't know how to fix. [16:31] ok sorry [16:31] NullName: Just installed webhttrack, looks abit easier than regular httrack, this one has a browser interface. [16:31] Hi, I am a frequent user of ssh with X forwarding... I've been told there should be a way for the window manager to show different color window borders for forwarded windows. Is it true, or is it an old Sawfish feature? (Sorry if OT) [16:31] neverblue, i dont know, where do you change it [16:31] In my gdm login screen I have tiny input font, I can hardly see it. How can I increase it ? [16:31] SHyTRiGGeR, what are the errors your gettting, are you running in debug mode at all? are you able to connect to the mysql DB? [16:31] artti: try removing gnome, xorg, xserver-xorg and ubuntu-desktop [16:31] artti: fluxbox allows you to still run graphical software, without a bunch of crap, that takes up resources. [16:32] artti: though you'll still need to clean up the leftovers [16:32] NullName, apt-get install fluxbox? [16:32] SHyTRiGGeR, I am guessin you have never setup an FTPd in unix before [16:32] artti: I would keep gnome and install fluxbox. type: sudo apt-get install fluxbox [16:32] When ever I used to close/minimize either pidgin or amarok they would just go to the toolbar, now they completely shut down. How do I fix this? [16:32] yes artti: [16:32] and in screens and graphics it says that both screens are using 640x480 resolutions [16:32] artti: If you really want to run text only mode, reinstall with ubuntu server edition [16:32] which is not ture [16:32] *true [16:32] fluxbox: Depends: menu (>= 2.1.19) but it is not going to be installed [16:32] ubuntu-base: Depends: ubuntu-standard but it is not going to be installed [16:32] w3m: Depends: libgc1c2 but it is not going to be installed [16:33] neverblue, apache2 and mysql work, proftpd says "service not available remote server has closed connection" [16:33] artti: removing gnome and yur current desktop will probably mess a lot of your programs up. [16:33] DrBeaverHausen, is the "Notification Area" applet on your taskbar? [16:33] No, I don't think so. [16:33] neverblue, no its the first time [16:33] never used automatix or anything [16:33] something wrong with the FAQ? [16:33] Karu: sudo gdmsetup [16:33] SHyTRiGGeR, does the service proftpd start? [16:33] DrBeaverhausen: Add it, pease [16:33] usr13: I can not use apt-get install [16:33] I've got the standard 2 toolbars [16:33] *Please [16:34] How [16:34] usr13: Thanx [16:34] usr13: I also can not ping [16:34] neverblue, yes its listening port 21 [16:34] artti: Once you have fluxbox, logout and then you must choose to switch to fluxbox. [16:34] usr13: only on ip adresses [16:34] SHyTRiGGeR, did you config your router? [16:34] removing gnome will make the machine go to another window manager... [16:34] DrBeaverHausen Right click, and find the button "Add applet" [16:34] usr13: not on domain names [16:34] Hi, where to change the fonts type of content, like web page, content in an editor? [16:34] Karu, have u ever took a look at system > administration > login window ? [16:34] artti: You choose to switch to fluxbox when you are at your login screen [16:34] neverblue, yes fowarding port 21 too [16:35] Webdevotion: ping 216.109.112.135 [16:35] SHyTRiGGeR, and you portscanned your local machine, to ensure port 21 is open? [16:35] neverblue, it should at least work when i do "open localhost" [16:35] Webdevotion: ping av.com [16:35] as all the fonts in the content are very ugly [16:35] neverblue, yes [16:35] where can i change it?? [16:35] Is it "notification area"? [16:35] yup [16:35] SHyTRiGGeR, did you create the user/groups defined within the .conf file? [16:36] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56505/ [16:36] Thanks, I knew it would be a simple fix. You are brilliant. [16:36] how can i run a .iso / .nrg file ? the called "image file" ? ? ? [16:36] You're welcome ^.^ [16:36] !iso | lollo [16:36] lollo: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [16:36] neverblue, "nobody" & "nogroup" ? [16:36] usr13: ping av.com > unknown host av.com [16:36] SHyTRiGGeR, thats not a question you should be asking :D [16:36] and if the iso file is from a cd for winzoz ? ? === tobias__ is now known as tobias [16:37] lollo: winzoz? [16:37] i must run wine too ? [16:37] neverblue, lol im french so im not always sur to understand what you mean :p [16:37] windows* [16:37] anyone catch that [16:37] SHyTRiGGeR, if you clearly read the .conf, you will see which 'user's and 'group's are required [16:37] What are fluxbox pros and cons? [16:37] Webdevotion: Your problem is that you are not resolving domanin names. You have either entered wrong nameserver addresses or have not entered them properly. Do you know what nameserver addresses you are supposed to be using for your particular ISP? [16:37] what tools are needed for building from svn ? [16:38] lollo: On the iso is a windows program installer? [16:38] usr13: can't I just use my router as dns? [16:38] yes [16:38] Webdevotion: If you know what nameserver IP address you are supposed to be using, then add them to: /etc/resolv.conf [16:38] anyone run amd64 [16:38] Hello. Is it safe to restart gdm while users are still connected? [16:38] Distro^Junkie: you'd need subversion and the build-essential, plus any development files for the source's dependencies. [16:38] usr13: I added my router on several occasions as NS [16:38] Webdevotion: nameserver ###.##.###.# [16:38] hmm, when i do cat /dev/ttys0 (as it says is my serial port in dmesg) it says cat: /dev/ttys0: Input/output error -- why could this be/ [16:38] Pici yes [16:38] usr13: yes, in /etc/resolv.conf [16:38] thanx Pici [16:38] lollo: You could try using Wine. [16:38] usr13: should I reboot anything? [16:39] SHyTRiGGeR, also you will want to setup debugging, which is clearly define in an proftpd FAQ, there is also the #proftpd channel (read the topic) [16:39] Webdevotion: If you added the router's IP into resolv.conf and it is not resolving domain names, that means that the router's caching nameserver is turned off. So add another one. [16:39] oky thx [16:39] neverblue, how do you debug it ? [16:39] usr13: I added the www.opendns.com as the nameserver on our router [16:40] SHyTRiGGeR, like I said, its clearly defined in any proftpd FAQ [16:40] usr13: also had contact with the router's help desk, they say everything should work just fine ( draytek machine ) [16:40] Is there a way to find a list of the 'mountable' devices connected to a computer? [16:41] isnt that just typing 'mount' ? [16:41] Webdevotion: Nameservers are IP addresses not domain names. You have to use the proper IP address. [16:41] Is there a way to set umask for one directory alone? [16:41] neverblue, ok sorry, thanks im gonna look :) [16:41] Webdevotion: Find out from your ISP what nameserver addresses you need to be using. [16:41] Hi, I have recentky bought a netmos NM9835CV card wich have one parallel port and two serial ports but I can't make it work... [16:41] usr13: I know > gave www.opendns.com as an example [16:41] SHyTRiGGeR, if you have anything more specific, I would be happy to help [16:41] oooh 'mountable', basically you can mount every filsesystem so you can't just get a list [16:41] which handles hd decompressing(?) CPU or GPU? [16:41] Webdevotion: What are your suggested nameserver addresses? [16:41] it seems that the adress 0x378 is not used [16:42] Hi i just installed ubuntu the first time, but sime drivers wont work. To update i want to connect my laptop to the inet but id like to know if there are several things ive to do before, like install firewall or something else?! [16:42] usr13: from my ISP? [16:42] usr13: I have no idea [16:42] Webdevotion: yes [16:42] usr13: no answers on google neither [16:42] sumone: not really [16:42] Webdevotion: Look at one of the other PCs on the LAN and see what it is using. [16:42] faileas: ok thanx [16:42] usr13: do you know how to find out on windows? [16:42] you can just connect it. its not like windows since you need to give ermissions for anything important [16:42] usr13: or osx? [16:42] Webdevotion: You would have to call your ISP or sysadmin and ask. [16:43] neverblue, ok thank you very much, i'll tell you if i find something more specific ^^ [16:43] sumone: then get the drivers from applications-> add/remove === livewire1 is now known as livewire [16:43] Webdevotion: In windows, yes, go to the network interfiace and click on Properties. [16:44] Webdevotion: Or better: bring up a terminal window and type: ifconfig /all [16:44] usr13: "obtain dns automatic" on windows [16:44] Webdevotion: Or better: bring up a terminal window and type: ipconfig /all [16:45] usr13: ok, got 'm from my win box [16:45] anyone know how to get the side buttons of a logitech mouse working? [16:45] how do I switch from a static IP address to dhcp using only the command line? using feisty. [16:45] usr13: will try them === vwbusguy__ is now known as vwbusguy [16:45] snaga_: edit /etc/network/interfaces [16:45] Webdevotion: Very good, that should work for you. [16:45] snaga_: man interfaces [16:45] ok, I see it, thanks [16:45] usr13: after I edit my resolv.conf, should I restart anything? [16:46] damn, how can I increase my / root partition [16:46] Webdevotion afaik no, /etc/hosts doesnt require anythign to be restarted [16:46] any partition manager in ubuntu? [16:46] Apogee: gparted? [16:46] !gparted | Apogee [16:46] Apogee: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [16:47] Apogee youll probably have to do it from the livecd though, as the partition cannot be mounted when you do this [16:47] Apogee: get the live CD [16:47] usr13: tried ping www.google.com, still same problem ... [16:47] I see [16:47] okthanks [16:47] usr13: dns same as working ubuntu box and same as win box [16:47] How can I find the UUID's more the devices connected to my computer. [16:47] NW2190 blkid [16:48] NW2190: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid [16:48] I have a USB 2.0 PCI Card - Am not seeing it in the Device Manager - how can I know if its good / compatible or not please? [16:48] NW2190: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [16:48] Webdevotion: Show us your /etc/resolv.conf file [16:48] I've booted from a Kubuntu LiveCD. When trying to mount a hdd partition, i get this error: unknown partition type 'ext3'. How do i mount it? [16:48] Webdevotion: Can you ping the nameserver IP addresses? [16:48] Yancho does it show up when you type: lspci in a terminal? [16:48] nameserver 208.67.222.222 [16:48] nameserver 208.67.222.220 [16:48] lolmaus mount -t ext3 ...... [16:49] opendns [16:49] MasterShrak testing [16:49] Webdevotion: What is the IP of your router? [16:49] MasterShrak: i tried! It says: unknown partition type 'ext3'! [16:49] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56507/ [16:49] can I run windows apps from kubuntu? [16:49] usr13: router is 192.168.0.1 [16:49] lolmaus: paste the command you are typing [16:50] i restarted my computer and now ubuntu says my sound card doesnt exist anymore [16:50] usr13: currently using dns from my ISP [16:50] MasterShrak : 0000:00:0b.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 51) i guess it is this one [16:50] i cannot figure out why computer keeps freeazing [16:50] prince_jammys: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/debi [16:50] lolmaus not sure then, thats very strange [16:50] Whats thje cpommand for a trash Icon [16:50] Dam' :((( [16:50] shortcut [16:50] Yancho appears to be seen, what kind of device is it? [16:51] does WineHQ work on ubuntu? [16:51] That's why people hate ubuntu :( [16:51] MasterShrak PCI to USB2 card - 3 ports [16:51] lolmaus: What happens if you dont use the -t ext3 option? [16:51] Apogee: wine does [16:51] Pici: same thing. [16:51] Hi, everybody: do you know how to change the content fonts in ubuntu? [16:51] Yancho do devices work when you plug them in? [16:51] Starnestommy: Would you use Wine to run win apps ? [16:52] i have a usb2 new hdd - so cannot test new with new .. if i plug a pen drive which is usb1 will it work? [16:52] lolmaus: Are you sure that the parition type is ext3? [16:52] i cannot figure out why my computer keeps freezing any thoughts? [16:52] Yancho it should [16:52] Apogee: yes [16:52] Pici: it's debian's auto created partition. Should be ext3. [16:52] Webdevotion: You basically only need three things to happen. 1) Have the IP set within the proper range that router is using. 2) Set the router's IP as default gateway, (sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1). 3) Add proper nameserver IP addresses to resolv.conf, (nameserver 208.67.222.222) [16:53] lolmaus: and sudo fdisk -l shows this device to be ext3? [16:53] lolmaus have you tried mounting it without a -t option? [16:53] usr13: I know this is a stupid, silly situation, but I've been working on this for hours in the last couple of days [16:53] Webdevotion: But if the router is set up properly and broadcasts proper IP info and nameservers and all that, you should be able to set to dhcp and it will do all that for you. [16:54] usr13: I'm using a static ip for this box, because it is a servre [16:54] MasterShrak: i did. See above. [16:54] usr13: but my other machines work well with dhcp [16:54] Webdevotion: If you can ping outside IP addresses and not domain names, then you have narrowed the problem down to an inability to resolve domain names. [16:54] Hi, I am trying to upgrade using /usr/bin/update-manager through a remote X11-Session - seems to get stucked when downloading package 19 ... [16:55] prince_jammys: oh dam'... It says: unable to execute, i/o error :( [16:55] usr13: yes, but how do I resolve domain names > by setting the correct ones in resolv.conf, right? [16:55] is there a program i can run to see if my machine is running properly? [16:55] Webdevotion: Paste your /etc/resolv.conf file so we can see it. [16:55] Webdevotion: yes [16:55] MasterShrak ok the usb pendrive was found as usb2 .. how can i disable it to unplug it now please? [16:55] lolmaus: that problem is beyond me, but obviously something is up over there [16:55] usr13:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56508/ [16:56] Yancho is it mounted? if not just unplug it, otherwise you have to unmount it first [16:56] lolmaus sounds like a bad partition, run e2fsck on it maybe? [16:56] Webdevotion: Looks good. [16:56] MasterShrak : /dev/sdb1 on /media/usbdisk-1 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8) [16:56] Webdevotion: What do you get when you issue command: host av.com [16:56] ? [16:56] Yancho sudo umount /dev/sdb1 then unplug it [16:57] Webdevotion: Paste it for us to see. [16:57] prince_jammys: MasterShrak: sounds like a badly burnt livecd! Should reburn it [16:57] is there a way of controling amarok with multimedia keys under ubuntu? they work in the gnome preferences, but amarok just ignores them, when i try to set them in amarok's preferences [16:57] fliegenderfrosch: Theres a plugin/script for amarok (use the internal plugin adding thing) to allow you to use the gnome multimedia keys [16:57] lolmaus do you konw for a fact that the partition is good? [16:57] ok thanks MasterShrak now I can start with the usb2 hdd :) [16:58] zmijunkie: hmm your problem with the stucked downloads in apt-get or aptitude is here the same... but only since 2 weeks [16:58] fliegenderfrosch: I dont have it in front of me so I'm not sure what its all exactly called. [16:58] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56509/ === BernardB` is now known as BernardB [16:58] MasterShrak: the i/o error concerns the livecd, not the partition. The partition is good, i'm sure. [16:58] so i reatrt my computer and now ubuntu doesnt detect any sound devices, even my onboard sound [16:59] Webdevotion: You are resolving domain names. You are connected to the internet and resolving domain names. [16:59] @mino: maybe I have to retry upgrading using a real monitor, which is shame [16:59] usr13: yes [16:59] Webdevotion: Shouldn't be a problem. [16:59] usr13: I understand that [16:59] lolmaus ok id try a reburn of the livecd, or if you have another one laying around try that maybe [16:59] Webdevotion: Then what is the problem? [16:59] lolmaus just for kicks, type mount and check if its already mounted [16:59] usr13: I can't use apt-get install because of this problem === BernardB` is now known as BernardB [16:59] lolmaus: if you reburn, reburn slow -- 4X [16:59] lolmaus sometimes things get auto-mounted, although with that error i doubt thats whats happening [17:00] Webdevotion: what exactly are you trying to install?

[17:14] N6REJ java and flash have been problems in the past, although they seem to run just fine now :) [17:14] usr13: not particularly [17:14] Webdevotion: the problem is that you can't install that ruby gem, correct?

Going straight to Kubuntu or running Ubuntu and adding KDE? [17:44] There probably is no such animal as better/more stable. It all depends on your preferences. If you have any preference for Gnome and its applications but want to use KDE or its applications, then by all means install Ubuntu and then add KDE. [17:44] In my case I have little love for Gnome [flame war begins again, no doubt], so I installed Kubuntu. After a moderately rough upgrade from 5.04 to 5.10, it's been rock solid. I've upgraded to KDE 3.5 and it's still rock solid. I keep hearing mutterings that Kubuntu is less stable, but I've seen no evidence of that on my own systems. I believe that this is an urban myth. [17:44] My $.02. The only disadvantage to running Kubuntu is the prevailing attitude(s) in Ubuntu land. Most of the helpful hints you find in posts on the forums (except for the KDE forums) are very much Gnome-centric, and Kubuntu remains a poor stepchild for much of Ubuntu land. This in spite of Shuttleworth's comments that both are to be treated equally.

[18:19] martin: OK. First, you would have to mount you flash drive. <> Assuming that sdb1 is the correct device and /mnt is the proper mount point. Note: The mount point must exist.

[18:19] my double left click open stopped working after i use kiba dock how can i fix works in root login though [18:19] Kibbles im not 100% sure on it. is your "gateway" handing out dhcp addresses to the computers behind it?

MasterShrak, u r as old as ubuntu itself!!!! [18:20] martin: Then you can use the "cp" so copy files, e.g: sudo cp ~/Documents /mnt [18:20] jrib: not useful but thanks [18:20] novamatrix: You may need to look at your Computer's bios to see if its configured to boot from CD. [18:20] also maed a bootable cd, just brought up dos from CD [18:20] Kibbles then its probably a router, youll need to forward a port almost guarenteed [18:21] MasterShrak: iptables?

[18:22] omg apt-get upgrade tkaes forever [18:22] novamatrix: Slowest you can go if you don't mind waiting. [18:22] OK iwll do [18:22] emma - kill -9 $(pidof totem) [18:22] martin: That is to say, the you can use the directory /mnt if you want. [18:22] odd-rationale: ok thanks, I'll tinker with that while waiting for this livecd to finish burning [18:22] DigitalPirate: switch the mirrors if the download speed is low for your connection [18:23] !mirrors > DigitalPirate [18:23] martin: One more thing, to un-mount do: sudo umount /mnt [18:23] jrib: can I feed the output of that into a apt-get remove?

[18:34] So, how i get Ubuntu faster? [18:35] jason_1: sudo iptables -L tells you what rules you have set. There are none set unless you did so after installing ubuntu.

[18:44] zackie: cd == change directory [18:44] ah okay it makes sense now haha [18:44] JoshJ, perhaps I should do a reinstall... [18:44] zackie: sudo apt-get remove <> [18:44] leeping__, are there multiple versions of emacs, which version of emacs is it, and maybe you should try an #emacs channel [18:44] Hello. When I try to ifup/ifdown network interfaces, it says "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0", etc. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to #ubuntu! [18:46] i download the ati driver how do i get it going from desktop? [18:46] i created a cronjob to sync the time with ntpdate [18:46] mmm arent you supposed to get those from apt? [18:46] when i check the syslog it looks like: [18:46] Feb 18 07:00:01 tenjin /USR/SBIN/CRON[13657]: (root) CMD (root /usr/sbin/ntpdate ntp.switch.ch > /home/np/ntpupdate.log.txt) === piranha_ is now known as PiranhaP [18:46] so it seems for me that all is working [18:47] odd-rationale: quick question heh sorry to bug you again but you seem knowledgable. Is there a good web source that I could use to familiarize myself more with the shell? [18:47] Now is there an easier way to download the new version of wine with out using the terminal? ;) [18:47] but there is no time sync [18:47] SHyTRiGGeR, I am actually :D [18:47] martin: www.linuxcommand.org [18:47] linux is amazing i wish there where games i really want to play cod4 [18:47] neverblue ^^ [18:47] malestine, u can try and look into wine [18:47] neverblue, when im in debug mode and i try to connect, it says "ftp session requested from unknown class", is it normal ? [18:47] martin: basic: what Odd-rationale more: sudo apt-get install rutebook,,, and more sudo apt-get install abs-guide <--- both browsable in web browser [18:47] martin: checkout gnu.org/bash for shell commands/syntax [18:48] i've got wine windows installed [18:48] I am converting my kde3 system to kde4... I want to remove the kubuntu-desktop package with all its dependecies, right now its only removing the package and no dependencies... how can I fix this? [18:48] martin: not to be confused with bash.org :) [18:48] threexk - you need to check your /etc/network/interfaces file - type man interfaces for more info [18:48] danand_: thanks [18:48] Nigels: -wink- [18:48] SHyTRiGGeR, I do not know every scenerio/issue related to proftpd, thats where the channel #proftpd comes into play [18:48] have nobody an idea? [18:48] neverblue, nobody answers ^^ [18:49] melon: what happens if you just run ntpdate does that work with the server? [18:49] whats the command to launch a .bin or .run file? [18:49] yes it works [18:49] when i copy paste the command from the cron it works fine [18:49] malestine: you poss don't want to, but you can jusd ./run it if its executable - if not then chmod +x it to make it so [18:49] When trying to make a dir it says Permissions Denied whats that about? [18:50] then whats the best way to get the ati driver? [18:50] envy screwed it up [18:50] zackie - where abouts in the system are you trying to create that dir? [18:50] /usr/lib [18:50] melon: what you're trying to do is handled by ntpd [18:50] zackie it means you don't have permissions in that dir :) --> where are you making a dir? [18:50] mkdir /usr/lib/wine [18:51] malestine: the ubuntu restricted driver menu which should be present in the system menu [18:51] zackie: are you installing wine by hand? [18:51] I'm trying to heh [18:51] malestine: if not, open up synaptic and search for fglrx [18:51] zackie - /usr/lib is owned by root - you don't have required permissions [18:51] thanks [18:51] danand_: how do i install the new versioin of wine? [18:51] zackie: if you absolutely must do that, you would have to use sudo -- /usr is owned by root. [18:51] how can i change mouse sensitivity? editing xorg.conf? [18:52] SHyTRiGGeR, so what are you using to login to the FTPd with ? [18:52] I just uninstalled it from that dir and i'm trying to i guess compile the new version in there... or just get it installed heh [18:52] neverblue, 'ftp' in bash [18:52] zackie - ?? don't know - sudo apt-get install wine ?? - sorry i don't use it :) [18:52] ok, and you have no error from 'ftp' ? just on the server side? [18:53] zackie: i recommend installing from apt,, and practicing a manual install of something else in /usr/local. [18:53] ohh no i should of uninstalled envy first:O [18:53] zackie: You dont need to compile the software in that directory, it should put all the files where they need to be when you run the compile process. [18:53] zackie - maybe the folks over at #wine could help otherwise [18:53] i got this error message E: kubuntu-docs: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [18:53] Where you can set which application you want to have open certain file types?

[18:55] Can anyone help me set up Compiz, i seem to be having errors, PM me if you could [18:55] Ashnal: there is a better way to start your x session though .. umm crap what was the command [18:55] startx? [18:55] affect: you installed the 0.9.55 one? [18:56] or if the display manager has crashed it would be sudo pkill gdm [18:56] thank you [18:56] ph0rensic - /etc/init.d/_somethingorother_ ??

Specific questions should be addressed to #winehq [19:13] Desert_Storm: yes, i was not aware of the bug danand_ mentioned, but all the repositories appear to have been "commented" out --- enabling them through "software sources" *should* work, unless that's another bug :) [19:13] Pici: ay okay thanks bruddah!

[19:22] Odd-rationale: that is what she said from the phone to me [19:22] comicinker:thats just my default advice, I'm not sure what your spacific problem is but even in beta ff3 is orders or multitude better than ff2 [19:22] Ashna1, ok, so did you do something to 'remove' the driver for the audio card? [19:22] emma paste the error message in google, unless someone here knows .. i dont remember [19:22] Ah XD [19:22] Okay.. [19:22] krim well, i can't say i have used loads, but my personal favourite is utorrent. i tend to dislike bittorent in general though. :D [19:22] vinay: I know ktorrent does. But I haven't used a lot of clients [19:22] emma yes i solved it [19:22] neverblue: no i simply restarted the computer after an update [19:22] okay how do i check for errors in ".xsession-errors" === magnet_ is now known as magnet [19:23] wrath144: or nobody knows the answer to your question, or people don't understand what you're saying. Atleast rephrase your question, it's only annoying to ask the same question over and over. [19:23] Odd-rationale: and from what i know it is a clean xubuntu installation [19:23] vinay, it can do that [19:23] emma: I just switch to kde or xfce. (I like them better than gnome anyways, personal opinion) [19:23] i'm not sure how i can rephrase that [19:23] Azodon: ubuntu runs is just that X doesn't start [19:23] knight666 it's just a text file, you can use it using gedit, or fire up a terminal and do 'less .xsession-errors'. depending on what you want to look for. [19:23] 7.10 works but crashes, 7.04 is really slow and doesn't install [19:23] Ashna1, so let me get this straight, the device is plugged in, you view it in lspci, but when you open alsamixer, you get a 'no device error', so you cannot access alsamixer? [19:24] hi, how do you clone or extends the display to another display? [19:24] neverblue: correct [19:24] I don't think Gutsy is going to be remembered as Ubuntu's finest release :| [19:24] I never had a single problem with Feisty. [19:24] neverblue: alsamixer error: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [19:24] What version of Ubuntu will work best for a laptop? [19:24] Lettuc3: i'm really really unfamiliar with terminal syntax, would "sudo nano .xsession-errors" work? [19:24] wrath144: try adding more information to it, like error messages [19:24] kex: Has she tried aptitude? (running out of ideas) [19:24] answer this: What linux should i try, with a computer that has 64 mb of ram http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=700550 [19:25] emma hehe, maybe for you :P. [19:25] no error messages [19:25] any1 know what package is the basic spam assassin package? === [loy] is now known as hairyraven [19:25] vinay: puppy linux [19:25] vinay - busybox, dsl ... [19:25] vinay - puppy linux works well, tested, so does DSL [19:25] Koldfusion: probably the latest version [19:25] knight666 no, you don't need to sudo. if you don't need to edit it, just use: less .xsession-errors [19:25] cherwin: It's giving me graphics card problems [19:25] Odd-rationale: no, but i never used that either, should a reinstall fix it? [19:25] Koldfusion: that all depends on the laptop :) [19:25] Ashna1, that says nothing about your device being missing.... so where did you get that conclusion from? [19:26] koldfusion: what is your problem then? [19:26] knight666 if you don't want to do that, you can find it in nautilus (it's in your home directory), ctrl+h to enable seeing .hidden files, you might either have to double-click it, or right click and choose open with text editor. [19:26] vinay: I'd try with Damn Small Linux like someone wrote. [19:26] The only way to solve these problems is to reinstall ? [19:26] Lettuc3: okay, thank you :] [19:26] neverblue: well, my sound card doesnt appear in lsmod [19:26] Ok, what ubuntu package would be best for an AMD Dualcore 64bit with NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100 and 1GB RAM? [19:26] kex: maybe. but try <> first [19:26] emma - you could try reinstalling nautilus [19:26] Koldfusion: Ubuntu 7.10 should work fine [19:27] Odd-rationale: safe upgrade? what does that do? [19:27] how can I set compiz to be enabled when I log in, without changing the effects setting under Appearance > [19:27] Ashna1, have you tried google or the forums? [19:27] knight666 less allows you to scroll. you can do "man less" in a terminal for more details. [19:27] kex: The aptitude version of upgrade... [19:27] How about removing nautilus and installing thune? [19:27] neverblue: a little here or there [19:27] Odd-rationale: ok [19:27] emma - sudo apt-get --reinstall install nautilus would be the command for that i think [19:27] emma: Does thunar cause problems? [19:27] emma you would lose your desktop icons and whatnot, because nautilus is what renders those. [19:27] neverblue: but i really dont know much about the problem or what to search for [19:27] My intention is not to start a flame war... but rather get arguments against suse (coz I have so many but I want to hear more)... one of my strongest is a dependencies hell! but why is ubuntu better than suse? [19:28] emma - thunar is good file manager too [19:28] Odd-rationale: ok [19:28] emma do not reinstall [19:28] I don't have any desktop icons . Doesn't thunar make desktop icons too? [19:28] !best | LUISLO_ [19:28] LUISLO_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [19:28] <[chr0n0s]> LUISLO_, goto forums [19:28] emma did you read the links online? [19:28] any1 with an ATI card ever experience trouble setting screen refresh rate/resolution? [19:28] I can have comment lines in /etc/resolv.conf, right? [19:28] Yeah they don't look exactly like my problem. [19:28] they all talk about getting 7 error messages. I only have one. [19:28] I have added a second ide controller (as a PCI card), and attached 4 supplementary ide drives to it. They are somewhat detected (I see icons for them on my ubuntu desktop), but do not work. I cannot mount them, for instance (there are ext2 or ext3 partions on these drives coming from another PC). I have many errors in "dmesg" about them; I pasted all that on http://pastebin.ca/908820 [19:28] Koldfusion: If you're having problems with the latest version of ubuntu try searching ubuntuforums.org for the name of your graphics card and see if anyone else has similar problems and solved it [19:28] LUISLO_: Depends whether you want debian or rpm [19:28] if somebody could help me ... ;) [19:28] When im trying to endable ATI accelerated graphics driver, (At restricted driver menu), it says error "The software source for the package xorg-driver-fglrx is not endabled." [19:29] danand_ emma i agree thunar is a good file manager, but it wont offer you in gnome all the features of what nautilus gives you (eg desktop). however if you do know of a way to get it to assume the default behaviour of nautilus, i'd like to switch over, so if you know a way, please tell me :P. [19:29] kex: Did it work? [19:29] Odd-rationale... I guess I've been used to rpm... but like i said is a "dependencies hell" [19:29] Desert_Storm - ibelieve you must go to the source list and enable them ... [19:29] I installed Ubuntu 7.10. I then installed the latest video card drivers (fglrxinfo says OpenGL renderer string: RADEON X800 GTO/OpenGL version string: 2.1.7281 Release). I then setup compiz with xfce. Something really weird happens. When I switch over from workspace A to workspace B, and workspace B only has firefox in it, the switch is choppy. When I switch from workspace A to B when B has firefox + an xterm in focus, it's not choppy. Extreme [19:29] i am trying to install the xubuntu-desktop, however it says that i need to remove totem-gstreamer... is it possible to reinstall totem afterwards without messing with xubuntu? [19:29] Koldfusion: I have geforce 7700 Go and had to tweak xorg.conf before it stabilized [19:29] LUISLO_: Take your pick. Linux is all about choices! Free to choose... [19:30] <[chr0n0s]> two_bits, you can install better things, instead of totem [19:30] and how about clone display [19:30] Hi There! [19:30] Ashna1, so I am not sure why you dont see it in lsmod, but its in lspci, and alsamixer doesnt appear to be finding it [19:30] Odd-rationale: i still have to call her [19:30] !firewall [19:30] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [19:30] maybe, but can i reinstall totem afterwards without problems? [19:30] When im trying to endable ATI accelerated graphics driver, (At restricted driver menu), it says error "The software source for the package xorg-driver-fglrx is not endabled." [19:30] I have a home partition. How do I reinstall? [19:30] cherwin: i'm going to try to install 7.04 again and when i get to the part thats giving me trouble i will let you know what happens [19:30] Odd-rationale: still thinking of a reinstall is easier for her [19:30] And its not in the sources list :O [19:30] hey guys what package do i have to install for the "system" command?? [19:30] Haha... I misspelld Unbuntu but it still sent me here. [19:30] LUISLO_ the only way to find out what distro you feel more at ease using, is to try them out, that's fairly easy these days, becauase they all have liveCDs... however, you probably do need a decent internet connection. [19:31] Is there a new Version of Ubuntu Coming out soon? [19:31] kex: OK. If that doesn't work, I really don't have any more ideas. Tell her to try the forums and post the complete error message.

[19:31] What should I fix to make mplayer output to second monitor on laptop? [19:31] Desert_Storm: check out system>administration>sources [19:31] damn im frustrated [19:31] [chr0n0s]: perhaps, but can i reinstall totem without problems? [19:31] Odd-rationale: well that is what she told me :s [19:31] emma don't reinstall the whole thing. i would try with just nautilus first. [19:31] neverblue: the sound worked fine this morning before i restarted it [19:31] anyone familiar with these hard disk issues ? i don't know why Ubuntu doesn't likes my hdd :( [19:31] Pici: is it going to be a bit diff than Gutsy :) [19:31] okay so, remove nautilus and then install nautilus? [19:31] <[chr0n0s]> two_bits, i am not sure, but doesn't look impossible [19:31] cecemel: did you tried booting with the irqpoll option? [19:32] I need some help partitioning my HD for a raid array to install Ubuntu. I thought I had it all worked out, and then I got a weird screen. Literally: [19:32] can I ask a question? [19:32] neverblue: ive had ubuntu installed for maybe 3 weeks [19:32] zackie: Its LTS (long term support) so it should be a lot stabler. [19:32] I got a screen titled, "Partition disks" with the text "??? ???" [19:32] emma gimme a second, i'll have a look. [19:32] !ask | malestine [19:32] I'm having a problem with partitioning with parted. fdisk prints my partitions just fine, but parted does nothing but print 'Error: Can't have overlapping partitions.'.

[19:32] Odd-rationale, Lettuc3... I use suse, and apart from the dependencies hell, the sd card, and the bluetooth, hehe, works great... but when I have a problem that I've been digging around google and manuals and more stuff without success and I come to the suseforums, it seems like I can't ask an answer there that they can't solve, coz they usually start to assume things and literally telling me... [19:32] ...to *f*& up and many many times I got the answer: "Go try ubuntu" :D [19:32] Ashna1, ok, so your sound stopped working after a reboot? was there an install of new packages the previous day? [19:33] i need a module to be passed options [19:33] neverblue: yes there was an update [19:33] cherwin: no [19:33] at bootup [19:33] What is this and how do I fix it I get it whenever I install or remove anything?E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [19:33] LUISLO_, download an ubuntu live cd and see if things work.

[19:33] <[chr0n0s]> lol LUISLO_ , is suse rpm based? [19:33] emma fire up synaptic, search for 'nautilus' and use 'mark for reinstallation' (you get that by right clicking on the package) i think that should do it.

[19:34] Desert_Storm: ??? [19:34] wrath144: Depends on hardware. [19:34] You said to check the "Sources" stuff [19:34] Ashna1, ok, so looks like that could be something that will effect it [19:34] Pricey: it works, the only thing doesn't work is the sound, but I also had problems with the suse live cd and after a complete isntall it worked... I have an hda-intel IHC6 family, you know if I'd be able to have sound in a complete install? [19:34] LUISLO_: My person favorite is arch, though [19:34] Okay, i got to reboot, thanks :P [19:34] Desert_Storm: it worked? [19:34] Yes [19:34] LUISLO_ im not entirely sure, but i think pclinuxos uses synaptic with rpm. i dont know if that resolves your dependency problems though. this is a little offtopic, though, if you want to carry on, you should probably consider #ubuntu-offtopic. [19:34] I'm running GNOME, and at the top panel, behind all the items, theres some pinstriping that I don't want, I want it to be transparent, how can I fix that? [19:34] Desert_Storm: glad [19:35] wrath144: that depends on your hardware settings [19:35] Thanks =) [19:35] Okay, I have my raid array partitioned, but it says "no root file system is defined", even though I used the guided partitioner on it? [19:35] Ashna1, only thing I can suggest is the forums, take your lspci listing and search for its output of your audio device, see if anyone else has had that issue [19:35] wrath144: and i use debian so i really don't know how ubuntu handles it [19:35] cherwin: how do I boot with the irqpoll option ?

[19:37] Mylon: ext3 [19:37] cecemel - not entirely sure but it looks to me like you may have some irq issues. This maybe causing problems with your pci card and hence drives. other than that would say you had bad disk. do as dmesg says and try booting with irqpoll option [19:37] zackie Kibbles: it can [19:37] Thanks, NigelS.

[19:46] matt____, totem [19:46] llappall: system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts [19:46] kostkon: oh! right! [19:46] sorry [19:46] Out of date/buggy install? [19:46] Can I upgrade from Debian to Ubuntu desktop using "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" in terminal [19:46] after installing ubuntu on a windows computer, you have to insert your windows disc. I have three recovery discs for Microsoft Windows XP. Will these work? [19:46] prince_jammys: no i dont know the exact name [19:46] Mylon, when does that happen? [19:46] cherwin? [19:46] seyacat: what do you know about the name? [19:46] WhiteNerd: Crossgrading is explicitly not supported. [19:46] Thank you. [19:46] After it finished setting up the EXT3 partition. [19:47] wrath144: still here, it's a ambigious error [19:47] seyacat: or what do you know about the file you want to find? [19:47] prince_jammys: i know it begins with flex or contais it [19:47] Or during that process... I didn't monitor it too closely. [19:47] which means? [19:47] Kibbles: This looks pretty good: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall [19:47] kostkon: ok..so answer me this: basically...totem is gnome, kaffeine is kde, so what would you classify vlc as? i'm writing a post about playing dvds, and i'm getting confused trying to word it right... [19:47] does anyone know? its an HP computer [19:47] kostkon: Next, pick a media player. Kaffeine (KDE), Totem (Gnome), and VLC ( [19:47] Kibbles: yep, looked into those, but those only work with Window management (bring to top, move to another workspace, etc), Desktop, or Sound. There's nowhere to set a *custom* action... [19:47] matt____: VLC runs on anything [19:47] hmm [19:47] hello please alternative daemon tools for ubuntu 7.10 ? [19:47] I reinstalled Nautilus and nothing weird has happened *yet*. [19:47] * emma crosses her fingers [19:47] Mylon, i have no idea how to fix that, instead of using a more recent version of ubuntu [19:47] wrath144: that i have no idea what the real problem is, do you have loopback enabled? [19:48] Alright. I'll get a more recent version then. [19:48] what's that? [19:48] seyacat: find /path/of/partition -iname '*flex*' [19:48] faileas: right, right...i know that...but....just trying to figure out how to word this [19:48] faileas: Next, pick a media player. Kaffeine (KDE), Totem (Gnome), and VLC ( [19:48] faileas: a blog post... [19:48] llappall: mmmm sorry. [19:48] matt____: VLC (Everythong) [19:48] Rufus: recovery cd's generally wont. You need the i386 folder. If that is on them then maybe you can [19:48] *everything [19:48] faileas: haha...i'll go with that [19:49] j_humphrey: when you open an app, does the top bar look like that? (i.e. with the lines)? [19:49] llappall: no idea then. [19:49] hello please alternative daemon tools for ubuntu 7.10 ? [19:49] matt____, I pick totem. but vlc or mplayer will play dvds better. [19:49] wrath144: it's a virtual network adapter, i saw someone referring to at as the cause of the problem, just do sudo ifconfig lo up [19:49] Good evening [19:49] seyacat: -iname (case insensitive, flex , Flex, fLex) -name:case sensitive [19:49] kostkon: right....i put that.. [19:49] earth: gisomount iirc [19:49] you'd be hard pressed to find a modern OS VLC won't run on [19:49] is it a good evening? [19:49] kostkon: Next, pick a media player. Kaffeine (KDE), Totem (Gnome), and VLC (pick this one). [19:49] Kibbles: But to simply answer your question; Probably in /etc/init.d [19:49] Kibbles, thanks anyway... this Gnome stuff... I'm a KDE guy just trying this... :) [19:49] lol [19:49] sven-testet-hard : here in Hungary, it is [19:49] llappall, my apps are in a AWN dock, so I dont know [19:49] Aikon [19:49] I removed a partition from my system, now no partitions are shown for the whole drive. What can I do about it? [19:49] yes? [19:49] le delire ici [19:49] prince_jammys: TY a lot, im making the search now. hope yo works fine :) [19:49] Gregmond: so what disc do I use? [19:50] yes ! [19:50] lol [19:50] seyacat: let me know, in case i mistyped something [19:50] :( [19:50] tu sais dire que yes [19:50] prince_jammys: yes, its work ok, ty you a lot [19:50] seyacat: no prob [19:50] my gnupg is broken, for now here it isnt a good evening [19:50] !fr | Monegasque [19:50] Monegasque: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [19:50] mnemonic_: want to old one back, or to make a new one? [19:50] matt____, when you say pick, do you mean which I prefer. i prefer totem-xine (meaning totem with the xine backend). totem by default uses gstreamer [19:50] seyacat: to update the locate database::: sudo updatedb [19:50] faileas: actually install I want to reinstall ubuntu on one partition. [19:50] kostkon: lol... [19:50] j_humphrey: I'm wondering if the lines are part of the regular window decoration, when you open ANY window at all, do the window decor look like that? [19:51] http://linuxhack3r.com/ [19:51] kostkon: how do you swap backends? [19:51] Rufus: need to know what is asking for it and why. [19:51] mnemonic_: then just boot the livecd and use the installer ;) [19:51] faileas: all the partitions still work - just neither gparted nor parted nor the ubuntu installer show them. [19:51] after installing ubuntu on a windows computer, you have to insert your windows disc. I have three recovery discs for Microsoft Windows XP. Will these work? [19:51] i need to know which disc to use? [19:51] mnemonic_: o0 [19:51] prince_jammys: updatedb its not the same as locate -u? [19:51] Rufus: more detail please? [19:51] faileas: fdisk -l even works - but any parted based system shows nothing. [19:51] Rufus: What are you trying to do? [19:51] Kibbles, just install totem-xine and will replace the other totem, which is called totem or totem-gstreamer, I don't actually remember [19:51] llappall, the top bar in applications dont look like that, but when i open a new panel, it has the pinstriping [19:51] i want smooth scrolling in xchat for the next version [19:52] seyacat: just looked it up, didnt know about it. i guess it is [19:52] sven-testet-hard: go implement it ;) [19:52] cherwin: i'm a first time linux user and don't know what you mean [19:52] kostkon: k thanks wasn't aware you could do that [19:52] mnemonic_: Thats wierd ... [19:52] install ubuntu on a windows machinme [19:52] seyacat - locate uses a database - updatedb updates that database [19:52] wrath144: oh my bad [19:52] Rufus: umm, you want to dual boot? [19:52] yes [19:52] dennda: yes i know, but -u update database [19:52] faileas: p in parted says 'Error: Can't have overlapping partitions.' [19:52] but doesnt grub mess up something with windows that I need the install disc? [19:52] just d/l livecd, stick it in and reboot [19:53] french?? [19:53] Rufus: Just put in the Ubuntu install CD and boot to it. But you might want to run scandisk and defrag on MS Windows first. [19:53] Kibbles, np. [19:53] i shouldn't have to create the wheel group manually should i? [19:53] j_humphrey: then, no idea. One last thing: if you change the *image* you use for the background, do you still see the pinstrip? [19:53] mnemonic_, yeah lets rewrite it with opengl support [19:53] seyacat - i suggested you run that command about ten mins ago :) - guess i should have explained myself better [19:53] Aikon: #ubuntu-fr [19:53] wrath144: go to gnome-terminal and type in sudo ifconfig, and then pastebin the output somewhere [19:53] usr13, wont that mess windows up, and Ill have to use the windows install disc? [19:53] thanks ! [19:53] llappall, I change the image, and thats the none pinstriping [19:53] !windows [19:53] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [19:53] Rufus: if you do windows first, ubuntu 2nd, it's pretty smooth. i've heard the other way around can cause issues [19:53] mnemonic_: thats... totally wierd [19:53] sven-testet-hard: right and all the text flows down matrix code like. [19:53] And thus, the wait to DL a new Ubuntu image. [19:53] Kibbles, thank you [19:53] rufus: normally you boot up to a live ubuntu cd, click install and follow the steps. once it is finished, you reboot and the grub menu lets you choose between windows and ubuntu. no windows cd required at this point. [19:54] Would grub errors everytime I boot be a HDD issues or something else? I have not added any other disks or anything [19:54] locate dont index in database windows mounted partitions, i dont know why [19:54] Rufus: Not if you just resize the Windows partition so as to make room for the Ubuntu install. [19:54] and find its slow [19:54] Rufus: yes win first then ubuntu [19:54] can someone help me its a simple program i cant figure out about the directory lib [19:54] simple problem [19:54] Rufus: Alternately; Install a slave HD and install Ubuntu on slave HD [19:54] seyacat - did you sudo locate -u ?? - think you need to be root to update the db [19:54] i cant figure out how to give myself permission to edit the directory lib [19:54] i cant figure out how to give myself permission to edit the directory lib [19:54] Rufus: It helps if you make the partitions before you install windows so you dont have to resize! [19:54] i cant figure out how to give myself permission to edit the directory lib [19:54] i cant figure out how to give myself permission to edit the directory lib pm me [19:54] yep sudo locate -u and sudo updatedb too [19:55] oh no it just crashed again. [19:55] I really need help badly with configuring my mic [19:55] DARK48 sudo nautilus [19:55] Can anyone please help [19:55] DARK48: you are being annoying [19:55] DARK48: either use sudo or chown the file or give 777 permissions... [19:55] I'm using Alsa [19:55] Rufus: Ubuntu's boot loader, (grub), will also boot MS Windows when / if you want to do a MS session. [19:55] !repeat | DARK48 [19:55] DARK48: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [19:55] Rufus: ph0rensic has a good point - make sure you have enough free space for partitions [19:55] thanks how do i get 777 permission === angelo is now known as Lorder [19:55] DARK48: read up on the manual page of chown and chmod [19:55] give excuse me [19:55] k [19:55] DARK48, lern the basics [19:56] thanks guys [19:56] "777 permission"? [19:56] hey [19:56] DARK48: don't do that chmod 777 is very insecure [19:56] My input source for capture is set to MIC but the mic still doesnt work, (using alsa) any suggestions? [19:56] Rufus: What you end up doing is replacing the MS Windows boot loader with Ubuntu's boot loader, (grub), which will write new code to MBR of the master HD [19:56] does anyone know how to help Nautilus when it keeps crashing? [19:56] * Kibbles doesn't understand the whole numeric permissions system [19:57] DARK48: best way is for you to add yourself to the group of the folder OR make your user the owner with chown [19:57] DARK48: Use sudo if you need to make changes to directories that you dont have access too. [19:57] how can I clone or extend disply to another? [19:57] !sudo | DARK48 [19:57] DARK48: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [19:57] emma: do you have any idea why it's crashing? [19:57] I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 I'm trying to compile something that requires openssl-dev or libssl-dev which one should install and how can I got about doing it? [19:57] DARK48: if you want to give yourself permission on a directory, create a group and give that group the apropriate permission. And then assign yourself to that group [19:57] bad news [19:57] !dualhead > sll (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [19:57] j_humphrey: do you mean that when you change the image the pinstrip goes away? [19:57] i tried that cherwin [19:57] I really don't have much clue [19:57] anyone know a good howto on installing ETQW dedicated server on ubuntu ? [19:57] seyacat - maybe you need to add an option for the disk you want to add to the db - try man updatedb and see if that helps - let us know if you turn up anything useful [19:57] israfil, you can use alsamixer in the terminal to fully control your soundcard. if that doesnt work your mic is turned off perhaps [19:58] emma join #emma [19:58] DARK48: you have to log out and then login [19:58] sll: System -> Administration - > creens and Graphics (assuming you are on 7.10 [19:58] j_humphrey: if so, it might be the image itself... did you open it to see? [19:58] *Screens and Graphics [19:58] hi, quick question: in Gnome, how do I set up a keyboard shortcut in the Desktop to open an app? I want Win-E to open Nautilus, for example... [19:58] ahhh thanks cherwin [19:58] help, i went to a liquid compass site and my taskbar is gone, wont even come back after a reboot [19:58] ill give it a shot, but nothing is muted [19:58] Kibbles: It's bretty easy, there are numbers for read, write and execute and then by example, writing is 2, reading is 3 and execute is 4, if you have write and read permission, it's 5. If you have read and execure, it's 7... dont know numbers anymore ;-) [19:58] dennda: yes, i think the problem its in mount options, or in locate config, but i dont find answer on google [19:58] Pici: Do you know if I keep getting various grub errors on boot.. is it most likely a disk gone bad, or something with grub.. I have restored it about 5 times now and everytime I fix it, the next boot sets another grub error [19:58] llappal: i think it's in preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [19:59] I this channel ok for questions about the 8.04 beta? [19:59] ph0rensic: The same errors? [19:59] llappall: or you can make a custom launcher and i think you can set a keycode there too [19:59] swpalmer: No this is 7.10 8.04 is +1 [19:59] swpalmer, better go to #ubuntu+1 [19:59] thanks [19:59] Pici: No thats the tricky part.. it' [19:59] Pici: It will go from 17 to 5 [19:59] guess ill have ro reinstall [19:59] Fri13: that explantion only makes sense to people that already know what you're talking about [20:00] testing [20:00] ph0rensic: I'm not an expert on grub issues, but its probably not your drive, might be a configuration issue. [20:00] llappall, you have gnome-keybinding-properties - or if you use compiz then use the settings there [20:00] I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 I'm trying to compile something that requires openssl-dev or libssl-dev which one should install and how can I got about doing it? [20:01] Pici: Im reinstalling it right now on a new drive, but I'm not too knowledgable about how grub works beyond the basics...I was thinking if it could something like the settings get changed everytime the computer restarts.. [20:01] cherwin: If someone would ask from me how file permissions are shown/set on Linux, it would be easier then ;-) [20:01] does anybody know which ubuntu package contains pdb? the python debugger? I tried apt-cache searching for it and nothing apparent jumped out at me... after apt-get installing pydb I still seem to get errors trying to import pdb [20:01] Ballestplaya: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev [20:01] sven-testet-hard: gnome-keybinding-properties doesn't allow to create custom ones, or does it? If so, how? [20:01] :) thx [20:01] Gregmond: I don't have this option... perhaps I should install DisplayConfigGTK, but this not runs well for me [20:01] Pici: Thats what i thought too but why would would it work after I fix it, then the next boot its all jacked up again [20:01] bye [20:01] cherwin: that explanation actually makes no sense to me, and i do know how it works :) [20:01] ph0rensic: Are you installing on an external drive? [20:02] dennda: AAAA jaja, i see what is the problem, windows particion are owned by root, i need to run "sudo locate flex" to run [20:02] cherwin: i am going to try 7.10 at least i can open it without trouble [20:02] Pici: Well I am trying a different disk so we'll see if I continue to get errors.. no this is internal drive... I wonder if the windows partition has to do anything with it.. I did notice when I fixed it the first time, it was reading the disk as a different device (from sda to sdc [20:02] /msg NickServ register 298377 mouseboyx@gmail.com [20:02] prince_jammys: oh it does make sense to me actually..

I just made a redistributable image of my desktop to install on my laptop as a VM, but for some reason the graphics aren't loading properly. Is there a password that can be used to do sudo commands on the live cd? [20:04] Gregmond: And how were you telling him to set it up? [20:04] prince_jammys: clear to elaborate? [20:04] I'm trying to move the mysql sock file to /tmp/mysql.sock, but when I do, the dameon.log tells me that mysql can't connect through it (even though it exists and the mysql user owns it) [20:04] llappall, use gconf-editor /apps/metacity/global_keybindings if you dont use compiz (!!!) [20:04] K4k: if I remember correctly the live cd automatically puts the password in for you while using sudo [20:04] ph0rensic: using screens and graphics, but he doesnt have it [20:04] pHorensic, has nothing to do with that, it about the sites that screw up my install [20:04] Gregmond: Oh he can edit the xorg.conf himself [20:05] K4k: I believe Ph0resnsic is right [20:05] Dave: something with the site? [20:05] ph0rensic: I wasnt gonna start that conversation with him.. I can do it, but not well enough to advise someone else ;) [20:05] cherwin, well reading is not 3 and execute is not 4, etc [20:05] hello [20:06] prince_jammys: yeah reading is 4 and execute is 1 [20:06] does anone here have dimdim ?

[20:13] K4k: your connection is messed up [20:13] K4k probably your connection [20:13] lol [20:13] DARK48: just put the file in the directory with sudo, e.g. sudo cp source_file /destination/directory [20:13] usr13: yes [20:13] Arelis: Server, not client...Anyway, your computer may have a OS restore CD. [20:13] hiya. When I have a jpeg in my homedir, it shows in the file browser as an icon. I also have an NFS share with lots of pictures in it and when I navigate there I don't see the mini previews [20:13] lambda: You only have one? [20:13] Arelis: Other than that I can't give you any guarantees. [20:13] Pici: Well.. it has a legitimate windows disk but i don't think it's a restore disc. [20:13] ok so the command for just sudo would be? [20:13] lambda: Fully updated? [20:14] usr13: not me but the friend i try to debug yes [20:14] lambda: I just checked and I have 7 [20:14] DARK48: this is the X,Y problem all over again, read this please http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem [20:14] DARK48: put sudo in front of whatever move/copy command you were trying to do [20:14] does anybody know if the File Browser doesn't do icons on NFS shares or if there's special settings for it or something? [20:14] NE1 have problem with 7.10 and XHost? [20:14] DARK48: See the page that ubotu linked to you. [20:14] Pici: Nevermind the restore disk, I asked my father and he said there is no restore disk. [20:14] dont go to www.kiro710.com and listen to the stream. it wiped out my taskbar until i reinstalled [20:15] figured I've give the 64-bit version another go [20:15] neverblue, it works :) [20:15] That time I had to turn off my computer before Nautilus would start working again. [20:15] Arelis - on the bright side - if you kill your windows installation by installing ubuntu, you can always explain to your dad that you actually did him a favour!! :P [20:15] cherwin: so far gutsy is working great [20:15] funny thing is when I copy a file from the NFS share to my home directory it immediately shows the icon. [20:15] It's like a problem with all of gnome. [20:15] SHyTRiGGeR, what did you have to do? [20:15] wrath144: gutsy is the best version so far imo [20:15] when your gnome is busted what do you do? [20:15] wrath144: congrats :) [20:15] So I have installed Realplayer. Now how do I make sure that Firefox uses the Realplayer plugin instead of Mplayer or Helix or something else? [20:15] neverblue, only all removed and reinstalled ^^ [20:15] ph0rensic, i sure do disagree. Gutsy has all kinds of bugs and problems. Feisty never had any. [20:16] emma: interesting [20:16] ROFL @ XY_Problem [20:16] I haven't had any problems with gutsy [20:16] emma: Are you getting any errors? [20:16] tht was a good one [20:16] emma: gutsy works far better on my hp laptop than feisty [20:16] SHyTRiGGeR, good to hear [20:16] My Nautilus keeps crashing. [20:16] emma: although I can say there are some bugs in gutsy still for sure [20:16] emma: With errors? [20:16] lambda: /etc/securetty: list of terminals on which root is allowed to login. [20:16] emma: I agree with wrath144, feisty had many problems with my laptop, gutsy is a dream compared to it [20:17] Does anybody know why I don't see icon previews of pictures on an NFS share in the File Browser? [20:17] neverblue, yeah next time i'll try this solution earlier !! :p [20:17] It hasn't given any errors except for this vauge announcement, which I'm not sure if it is the cause or a symptom --- Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem. [20:17] fredl: Normally thumbnails are disabled on remote filesystems, check the preferences in your nautilus window. [20:17] oshi, emma same for me. gutsy works great on ibm t23 [20:17] does anyone here have the eee pc??? [20:17] can someone help me with my dual boot =\ i cant load windows xp for some reason [20:18] Pici - oh okay. lessee if I can find those. [20:18] does anyone know of a way to mount a ufs files system read/write.... i can only seem to get it to mount read only [20:18] oshi: but gutsy isn't supposed to work on hp laptops, i can't even begin to install feisty [20:18] !grub | whonicca [20:18] whonicca: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [20:18] I only have a Nokia N800 [20:18] and gutsy works fine [20:18] where do I put .ko files so I can modprobe them? [20:18] wrath144: I installed no glitches at all on hp dv9730 [20:18] is there a way to revert updates? [20:18] wrath144: gutsy that is. The only thing I had to do was fiddle in the audio drivers. [20:18] oshi: i'm trying on an omnibook 6000 [20:18] emma: Have you seen/tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35082 [20:19] Pici: Do you know how i can prevent the Windows install to be wiped out/broken? because when i tried it with another windows installation (and i wasn't prepared well) I couldn't boot into my Windows anymore because it had a faulty chkdisk utility, i used the windows CD to restore that though but that Windows install had a lot of weird problems after resizing. [20:19] that worked, thanks Pici! [20:19] wrath144: what problems are you having? [20:19] usr/src/mykernel ? [20:19] Here's what happens: At first everything is going okay. I'm listening to music by clicking on files in my external hard drive. The next thing you know, I click on one and the icon changes from a musical note to a piece of paper. And nothing happens. Then every file I click on the same thing. I try to open other directories and I'm told I cannot. Some times if I restart X it fixes it temporarily and other times it seems it gets even worse. [20:19] I would like to be able to use ubuntu again,but wizhout your help I don´t if that is possible [20:19] I try to go to places> home and nothing happens. [20:19] Arelis: Backup? I personally can't vouch or guarantee that resizing will not break anything. [20:19] It seems that Nautilus has crashed. And the one time I've gotten any strange message it says this: Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem. [20:19] hi [20:20] hi [20:20] NE1 recommend a free chat clien better than pigeon? [20:20] Arelis, its normal that the partition is flagged dirty. normally windows runs a check and then everything is fine. [20:20] emma: try killall bonobo? [20:20] lambda: Debian derivitaves are a lot different than RH and does not rely on runlevels so much to get services enabled and dissabled. Or, more accurately, does grouop services within runlevel specific ordered sets of scripts. [20:20] whoops.... [20:20] highrelyguy, sorry, nothing is better than pidgin [20:20] Pici, that worked, thanks! [20:20] did anyone here install tikiwiki? [20:20] I have tried reinstalling Nautilus and I've reinstalled the libpackages for bonobo [20:20] oshi: the first time i tried to install gutsy i came back and it was completely locked up at 15%, then i had a look at the forum and seen the big "gutsy doesnt work on hp laptops" sticky so i tried feisty. nothing but problems so now i'm trying gutsy again [20:20] apt-get instal steam, is that steam as in valve steam or is it something else [20:20] Yes I've done Killall bonobo-action-server [20:20] Arelis: i hear you are supposed to do a full clean and oh crap whats it called...defrag thats it before you resize or it can cause problems... best to set your partitions before you even install windows [20:20] thanks neverblue. [20:20] I'm trying to get jabber-muc to work, but it seems to time out when joining a group chat... in the service id host, I have conference.foobar (which is just an intranet hostname)... maybe this has something to do with it? [20:20] emma: Did you see that link I gave you? [20:20] Pici: If i copy all the files on this harddrive (so in this windows install) to the second one and if it goes wrong, place it back, will it be okay? [20:20] wrath144: when you throw in the CD try noapic nolapic at the boot option [20:21] I have five .ko wireless driver files where do I put them so I can use modprobe to load them [20:21] does anyone here know how to reverse updates? [20:21] wrath144: and watch for error 81 on boot, which means that your bios isn't compatable [20:21] emma did you try the things at the bottom of this page? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/49594 [20:21] how do i color text in OO ? [20:21] jabbed: Should work [20:21] oshi: no error 81, what do those commands do? [20:21] Arelis: Best to ask that in ##windows, there may be a way to backup your mbr that I'm not aware of. [20:21] jabbed: Except the 'jabber' package is a bit old [20:21] wrath144 sets boot options that should let you install/boot easier [20:22] Pici: MBR? No, sorry, i meant c:\WINDOWS and the like. [20:22] bye [20:22] yep i have a linux virus..guarenteed [20:22] are there going to be updates soon for the destroyed compiz in 8.04??

[20:30] wrath144: if that doesn't work you might try noapic nosmp [20:30] should i format it to fat32 so i can use this drive every where [20:30] and it goes away [20:31] hi, does someone know when gnat-4.3 will be included in Ubuntu?

[20:34] I have a touchscreen running with wacom, but right click does not work...can anyone help me? plz! [20:34] cherwin: And I didn't necessarily recommend he do it, I just said that he could do it and then told him that that would only temporarilly fix his problem. [20:34] I lost my mysql password what can I do to get things working again? [20:34] usr13: it depends on what kind of systems he's using the drive on [20:34] I found a way to fix it without having to restart the computer at least [20:34] cherwin: I know. [20:34] but doing that every time it happens can't be a long term solution. [20:34] hello [20:34] hi, I'm having some problems, I kind of smached my twinview and now got it working again partely, it all works fine only th second monitor isn't found, what do I have to add to xorg.conf to get it detected ? [20:34] how do i share a printer between two ubuntu? [20:35] mouseboyx: Can't you just reset the mysql password? [20:35] emma what is it? [20:35] how, passwd? [20:35] ok [20:35] changed it to fat32 and everything is fine [20:35] thank you [20:35] shiwaraya: Is the printer attached to one of the ubuntu systems now? [20:35] how do i reset the password? [20:35] Conker: Very good. [20:35] emma: is bonobo the problem? I mean was killall bonobo the fix? [20:35] mouseboyx: passwd [20:35] to fix it short term I type: killall bonobo-activation-server // killall nautilus // nautilus & disown [20:36] usr13: actually printing by usb in one xubuntu [20:36] mouseboyx: not passwd you gotta use the mysql password command... off hand i dunno .. i think its like mysqladmin -u root passwd 'password' [20:36] emma: do you use bonobo? [20:36] emma right, that was in the google links that i suggested about two hours ago [20:36] No. I don't even know what bonobo is. [20:36] shiwaraya: So it is a USB printer connected to one of the two Ubuntu systems? [20:36] prince_jammys, that's where I got it from :) [20:36] emma: get rid of it then unless it's important to your system [20:36] usr13: That is inside of sql though isnt it? [20:36] emma and yesterdays solution came from there too [20:36] yes is connected and working [20:36] prince_jammys, you have to understand I have to wait for nautilus to crash before I can use any fix, and it doesn't seem to have any pattern to when it crashes. [20:37] ph0rensic: ? [20:37] i am trying to install vmplayer - i tried with synaptic but got errors doing it manually, got msg that "vmnet" and "vmmon" was not installed by vmplayer installer and to remove the. tried using "find" fom cli but seem to be getting syntax wrong to search. how can i locate and remove these two files [20:37] I don't know if bonobo is important to my system since I don't know what it does. [20:37] usr13: You were saying passwd to fix the mysql passord? [20:37] emma googling the errors and spending some time reading the stuff has solved EVERY problem ive ever had.. [20:37] emma: google it :) [20:37] shiwaraya: Then it is already shared, by default. [20:37] DIL: hmm you tried to install the player from source? [20:37] shiwaraya: Just go to the other system and tell it to print to it. [20:38] by ip?? [20:38] I have a touchscreen running with wacom, but right click does not work...can anyone help me? [20:38] shiwaraya: But, it is a good idea, or makes it a little easier, if the host system is set to static IP. (They are both on the same LAN, right?) [20:38] ph0rensic: source as VMWARE [20:38] My DNS isn't working . I have the DNS setup in Networking setup. I have other PC's on the same LAN that DNS is working just fine . Any ideas? [20:38] ph0rensic: No, sorry. [20:38] DIL: Yah thats how I got vmwplayer to work [20:39] yes they are in the same lan [20:39] DIL: Hmm.. should have everything you need for it to install... so you just chmod +x the installer file and ran it right? [20:39] so how do i add the printer? [20:39] ph0rensic: that is what i am trying now, it seems that i have remnants of previous try that i have to get rid of first [20:39] ph0rensic: at the mysql prompt: set password = password("yournewpassword"); [20:40] hi [20:40] ph0rensic: yes but remants = vmnet and vmmon has to be deleted [20:40] how can i set icons for nautilus bookmarks?

[20:45] Odd-rationale: I thought gparted gets deleted after the install, you gotta reinstall it [20:45] ygorabreu: gparted [20:45] yeah... [20:45] prince_jammys : is the startup logo set by default? Because i have only login screen, during the boot i see the black monitor [20:45] murshed: well, directions are in the link [20:45] reinstall it right ? :S [20:45] ph0rensic: What was that? [20:45] jabbed: Sorry, you quit before I got back here before [20:45] K-Ton: laptop? [20:45] ygorabreu: yeah reinstall it with sudo apt-get install gparted [20:46] grezer34: more like evening around where i'm from [20:46] prince_jammys : yes it is [20:46] ygorabreu: although its easier to run it off a disk [20:46] mattj: I had to restart, sorry [20:46] Um, can anyone maybe help me with getting my nvidia graphics card to run on ubuntu gutsy 64bit? [20:46] K-Ton: hold for link [20:46] right..thks! [20:46] np [20:46] jabbed: Do you want to join jabber@conference.jabber.org or ##jabber? It may be easier to help you there :) [20:46] Odd-rationale: I was saying gparted gets deleted after the install [20:46] Uh, yeah, i have a kinda big problem with configuring my nvidia 8800gts with ubuntu gutsy x64. pretty much, i started loading ubuntu and no images could be seen because i guess ubuntu doesnt have the correct driver with the 3d support so eventually i went to the text install and it installed ubuntu, i then tryed installing manually the nvidia glx-new driver for the 3d support except it installed except the same thing hap [20:46] K-Ton: slow boot also? [20:46] pened as always before, it ended up going to a black screen inwhih everything was unresponsive...Any suggestions on how to fix it? [20:46] ##jabber would be good =) [20:46] bonsoir [20:46] ph0rensic: Oh, ok. You're right [20:46] With problems like this you never know if it's fixed or if it's just waiting to happen again. [20:47] anyone know the gname of the chm reader? [20:47] prince_jammys : no not really, without visual effects it's really fast, with them 20-25 seconds [20:47] is it gnochm? [20:47] usr13 thanks but now i have other problem === lubos1 is now known as lubosz [20:47] ugh, I'm so annoyed. My Vista box is has 67GB of disk space used and I'll be damned if I can find anything to delete [20:47] shiwaraya: Problems, problems, problems, that's all we ever see around here! :) [20:48] Just goes to show why I'm a linux user [20:48] i have DHCP enabled so i have dynamic ip. how do i add dinamic host name entries? [20:48] ph0rensic: apt-cache search chm --names-only [20:48] gnochm pops up on the search [20:48] oshi: Gotta love microsoft space management technology! [20:48] so i can print even if the host of the printer changes ip [20:48] cherwin: THanks bud [20:48] ph0rensic: indeed! [20:48] i have changed the mysql password but, Im still getting an error when i try to connect from php [20:48] http://mouse.homelinux.com/ [20:49] shiwaraya: hii [20:49] oshi: scan it with diskusageanalyzer [20:49] asl plz [20:49] !ot > murshed (murshed, see the private message from Ubotu) [20:49] shiwaraya: It is a good idea, or makes it a little easier, if the host system is set to static IP. [20:49] lubosz: I use ccleaner on it and dumped 17gigs of crap earlier [20:49] but if i set static ip, every time i run ubuntu i have to set my configuration [20:49] lubosz: always found ccleaner to be superior to diskusageanalyzer [20:50] ljl whts dat?? [20:50] to connect to my WPA wireless network [20:50] !ot | murshed [20:50] murshed: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:50] I am having trouble removing avant-window-navigator from startup, I had removed it from "Startup Programs" in gnome-session-properties, but it starts up automatically anyway [20:50] Okay, I 'sudo apt-get remove mythbuntu-desktop' and it only wants to remove 1 package, the mythbuntu-desktop package. I thought apt-get did orphan tracking now and remove all the dependecies for that package too? [20:50] LibertyShadow: I just wound up apt-get removing it [20:50] ok everyone quick question for you all, I just installed webmin, looks cool and all but my FTP program is not working and I am getting a error " unkown Config 'indentlookups on line 32 of the proftpd.conf ? [20:50] LibertyShadow: but avant is such a kickbutt program .. why not load it at start? [20:50] how do i make my ubuntu to start up with a manual network configuration? [20:50] levander: apt-get autoremove [20:50] levander: Do an sudo apt-get auto-remove [20:50] what the heck does that mean [20:51] K-Ton: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen [20:51] ljl join ths room [20:51] yhen? [20:51] K-Ton: that's almost definitely what you want --- check it out [20:51] AWN was annoying to me. Very inconveniently set up [20:51] shiwaraya: For manual network configs, I edit /etc/network/resolv.conf - then that's my network config everytime I reboot. [20:51] Odd-rationale: autoremove without the dash [20:51] prince_jammys : thank you very much [20:51] ph0rensic: I use Mathematica and Eclipse alot alot, and I disable Compiz. When I do this, awn disables itself... So I decided the panel was better for me. [20:52] plz someone help me with my wacom touchscreen (right click)...just give me a clue [20:52] K-Ton: np [20:52] ljl [20:52] cherwin: Correct. Sorry [20:52] anyone know what repo has this? E: Failed to satisfy Build-Depends dependency for transcode: libfaad-dev [20:52] whats eclipse and math.. [20:52] Is there a way to run a script automatically every time you log in? [20:52] ph0rensic eclipse is a programming IDE [20:52] murshed, i'm basically saying that this is a support channel for Ubuntu, and "asl" requests are not allowed. [20:52] cherwin: 'sudo apt-get autoremove mythbuntu-desktop' says it wants to remove two package: "libtotem-plparser10 mythbuntu-desktop". [20:52] oshi: ahh [20:52] xyblor: yes [20:52] I prefer netbeans :P [20:53] ph0rensic: Mathematica is for Calc III and Differential equations [20:53] xyblor: what do you want to accomplish? [20:53] LibertyShadow: thanks [20:53] <[Night_wolf]> fssq [20:53] cherwin: I want to run xrandr to setup dual head display [20:53] oshi: it's going really slow, so far i'm at the select your timezone screen [20:53] :) [20:53] avant annoyed me. I didn't want applets or a taskbar...I just wanted a launcher. But you can't have launcer without task bar with it...bleh [20:54] wrath144: is it working though? [20:54] oshi: yea, very very slowly [20:54] how do i choose the Location Network i want Ubuntu to boot on? [20:54] wrath144: shouldn't be that slow actually. worked faster when I tried it. Perhaps a reboot? [20:54] cherwin: it's really simple, just a 2-line script, but I'm tired of running it manually every time I log in [20:54] xyblor: so you want to run the script before the graphical interface kicks in [20:55] i cant figure out how to change the icon size for my desktop, can someone hepl? [20:55] cherwin: Ideally I want to run it after the xserver starts, but before the window manager starts. [20:55] oshi: i dunno, first time i tried to install it wasn't slow at all, is there a certain way i should have everything partitioned or something? [20:55] mysql [20:55] cherwin: but even running it after the WM is fine too [20:55] when does the mysql_connect(); function fail in php Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [20:55] LjL: question .. last time I installed, I did apt-get upgrade and installed the restricted drivers then rebooted and it jacked up x... would doing these without rebooting separately have caused this issue or just a fluke? Im asking because both instances required me to reboot (upgrade reinstalled headers and new kernel.. and restricted drivers...well you know how that goes [20:55] wrath144: I'm not very knowledgeable about that. I've always just autopartitioned the whole drive [20:56] hey, i just installed a new hard drive in my computer and i want to edit fstab to take care of mounting it, how can i get the UUID, the command "ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -lah" only gets me the UUID for the disks alreay installed [20:56] lekremyelsew: i right click on icon and choose streech to change its size [20:56] LjL: I wanted to install both so I only had to reboot once.. waddaya think ^^ [20:56] shiwaraya im trying to make all of them bigger [20:56] ph0rensic: shouldn't really be an issue as far as i'm aware, but i can't exclude it either... [20:57] hello, for packaging an svn snapshot of a program, what name should the .orig.tar.gz have (and consequently, the deb package)? blender_2.45...? [20:57] xyblor: the simplest way to accomplish this is to put the script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d [20:57] whats the proper syntax for executing two commands as one alias, ex. exit="clear || exit" [20:57] cherwin: so I just copy it over to there and it will run automatically? [20:57] how do i access the prompt without using the taskbar? [20:58] mouseboyx: mysql_connect("localhost","root","yourpassword") else try ##php [20:58] who was telling me to use opensuse? [20:58] LjL: I was thinking it was possible that the new kernel upgrade or headers would change which driver was to be configured or changed the way it was configured.. i've installed about 5 times and the only time I had a problem was when I didn't reboot before setting up the nvidia driver [20:58] wrath144: I think it was oshi [20:58] xyblor: it does on debian, i'm not sure if it works for ubuntu [20:58] thanks [20:58] xyblor: you can give it a shot though, don't forget to chmod +x the script [20:59] cherwin: okay thanks, I'll give it a try :-) [20:59] hi, for some reason i have system beep turned off yet it still makes the sounds. how come it wont turn off? [20:59] wrath144 I said openSUSE [21:00] oshi: i was having mad problems with that [21:00] manar: try editing /etc/inputrc and put in this line "set bell-style none" [21:00] see if it works [21:00] wrath144: suse 10.3? and what problems? [21:00] Dave: no, i didn't try the site... \ [21:00] manar: or you can look here for more info http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_NoBeep [21:00] Where do I set default applications to open things like PDF, JPG.. etc when double-clicked in Nautilus? [21:01] OMG my finger is all bloody.. my bloody case just sliced my finger! stupid quick pull drive slots!! [21:01] Hi, how can I fix my python installation? I moved /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2.4 and installed some packages using apt and easy_install. Now it's crapped of course. I switched back to /usr/bin/python=/usr/bin/python2.5 - but e.g. bzr and parts of zsh don't work any more. How can I fix the python libs? [21:01] hey, i just installed a new hard drive in my computer and i want to edit fstab to take care of mounting it, how can i get the UUID, the command "ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -lah" only gets me the UUID for the disks already installed [21:01] lmosher: right click on the file Properties>Open with [21:01] k3ito: any ideas? [21:01] oshi: yeah. it just refused to install. i got up to the point after the install where it says it's going to reboot so i say ok but it just doesn't do anything. [21:01] Krumar: [21:01] erUSUL, That does it one-time. How do I make it permanent? [21:01] !defaultapp | lmosher [21:01] !fstab | Krumar [21:01] lmosher: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" [21:01] Krumar: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [21:01] oshi: then after it says its not installed === drainman__ is now known as drainman [21:01] wrath144: I just looked up your laptop on google. It's over 9 years old! [21:01] !uuid | Krumar [21:01] Krumar: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [21:01] Dave: what was the site again [21:02] wrath144: you may need to use some older versions to get anything to work [21:02] im trying to install ubuntu on my inspiron 1520 but i can start X i want to install in graphic mode i already read the thread but the solution for integrated intel graphic didn't work [21:02] oshi: haha i guess thats why it was free [21:02] Ubuntu is little bit slow. How do speed up? [21:02] OK, I get random freezeups but im not sure why can someone help me figure out why, and how to prevent it [21:02] make a soft link that points to the python that you want to use e.g. ln -s /usr/bin/python2.5 /usr/bin/python [21:02] How do I disable the monitor turning off in the Ubuntu console? I mean, not in Xorg but i want to prevent the monitor to blacken or turn off when my pc is left idle, when using the Linux console, not the terminal, but the console. The one you get when you press CTRL+Alt+F1 [21:02] wrath144: I'm reading a bit about it. Give me a minute [21:02] artti: Buy more RAM .. how much space is your swap?? [21:02] artti RAM/cpu speed? [21:02] erUSUL, thank you very much, that command works, all the rest i found could only get me info that was already in fstab [21:02] Hi, I configured a Manual Nertwork connection to get static ip and saved it as a "Location" in network manager. How do i configure ubuntu to choose that profile network when i log in gnome? [21:02] k3ito: www.kiro710.com then start the audio stream [21:03] Hi all [21:03] how do I get a good old .xsession run in gutsy or hardy? [21:03] Arelis_: edit /etc/console-tools/config [21:03] anyone got their xfi working [21:03] dave: give me a sec [21:03] prince_jammys, Specifically I'm trying to use acroread instad of evince. When I right-click and go to custom and enter acroread it opens properly. However, the next time I double-click, nothing changes... [21:03] k3ito: ok [21:04] I get Random Freezeups help someone! [21:04] My dvd player is reading the dvd but wont play it?? [21:04] ph0rensic, how i look swap file size? [21:04] wrath144: the newest version of linux I'm seeing on google for the omnibook 6000 is suse 9.2. you can do some digging on your own or try the forums to see if you can get more help. [21:04] flipmode: Do you ave libdvdcss2 installed? [21:04] prince_jammys, how i look RAM/cpu speed? [21:04] hi all, could anyone help me? I'm a linux noob. I'm trying to install my nVidia 7600 GS video drivers, and it says i'm still in X.server, what do I need to do? [21:04] oshi: ok, and is that version any good? [21:04] boot in level 3 [21:04] artti: free -m && cat /proc/cpuinfo [21:05] Dave: where did you find this site? [21:05] soundray: do i have to restart console-tools? [21:05] or boot with "nox" [21:05] in grub menu' [21:05] wrath144: I used it on a desktop. it was solid for the time. [21:05] I want to run my own script for the session startum and don't know how. I tried "Xclient script" but it surely doesn't use $HOME/.xsession [21:05] ph0rensic:Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. [21:05] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [21:05] is only available from another source [21:05] E: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate [21:05] lmosher: mmm i think i had that problem once - don't remember how i fixed that, sorry [21:05] flipmode: You have to enable the medibuntu repository [21:05] oshi: ok i'll try it [21:05] Dave: it takes me to MyNorthwest.com [21:05] hi [21:06] wrath144: good luck [21:06] k3ito: its the radio stream for kiro 710 news [21:06] flipmode: Go to medibuntu.org it will tell you how to set up their repo [21:06] oshi: thanks [21:06] ph0rensic: how? [21:06] seriously? Ubuntu is nice and all, but i can't make it flippin' open a PDF with another application besides evince? Do I seriously have to delete the evince binary and make a link to acroread? That's retarded. [21:06] ok [21:06] i'm off [21:06] how far has writing to ntfs come? is it turned on by default? is it stable enough for everyday use? [21:06] no one knows how to install ubuntu in gaphics mode @inspiron 1520?? [21:06] thanks for the help [21:06] ph0rensic, swap file total is 376 [21:06] acroread crases me a lot\ [21:06] k3ito: thats the site..might be crosscrypted [21:06] artti: 376 megs? [21:06] lmosher: right-click, properties, "open with" doesn't work? [21:06] hi all, could anyone help me? I'm a linux noob. I'm trying to install my nVidia 7600 GS video drivers, and it says i'm still in X.server, what do I need to do? [21:06] Ulfalizer, I've used it quite a bit. I still wouldn't suggest you use it on a drive you love, though. [21:07] artti: thats pretty small, you have a small amount of ram too? [21:07] read [21:07] Arelis_: I think you have to run /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh -- but I'm not sure. Try it out, or reboot to be sure. [21:07] ph0rensic, yes 256 RAM [21:07] i have an onboard vid card by nvidia (6150se). i am going to upgrade to a nvidia 8500 pci express 512mb. ubuntu 7.1 should recognise this card instead of the onboard, shouldn't it? [21:07] 186 updates after a fresh install :/ [21:07] lmosher: okay. is it turned on by default, or do you have to configure it somehow? [21:07] Dave: the site is fine [21:07] Le-Chuck_ITA, It sure does. I just want to change the default. Right-click will open with acrobat once. [21:07] no [21:07] k3ito: did you start the audio stream? [21:07] artti: Thats why .. i think xubuntu is better designed desktop for comps with loq ram? [21:07] lmosher: right click, select "properties" [21:07] stooge: it should recognize both cards [21:07] anyone? [21:08] Dave: yes [21:08] lmosher: then click on "open with" tab [21:08] k3ito: and no probs? [21:08] Dave: where it says ListenLive: Stream [21:08] ph0rensic, is it simple to go from ubuntu to xubuntu? [21:08] can i tell it to use only the newer card? [21:08] Dave: no [21:08] Le-Chuck_ITA, I see it's -me- that's slightly retarded, not ubuntu. Thanks :) [21:08] stooge: You probably want to turn off the onboard card in bios [21:08] Is there a package for only the very gnome-base [21:08] lmosher: have fun [21:08] :) [21:08] ? [21:08] Dave: Is you taskbar still gone [21:08] soundray: what must i set POWERDOWN_TIME to? [21:08] yay pdfs :P [21:08] soundray: i mean, does 0 mean never there too? [21:08] k3ito: yep [21:09] Dave: what made you think its a virus and not a bug/crash [21:09] Ulfalizer, no it's off by default... [21:09] help [21:09] didn't think about that. duh thanks [21:09] stooge: listen to ph0rensic -- otherwise you can configure both cards independently via /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:09] Dave: have you restarted [21:09] is there a freenode channel for X11 issues? [21:09] hi everyone :-) I'm a newbie and have a problem with my microphone - it isn't recording sound... can anyone help me figure it out please? [21:09] Ulfalizer, I honestly don't remember, I did it awhile ago. I think I used ubuntuguide.org for info on how to turn it on, and make it mount by default. Some don't like that source, but it worked for me. Google will certaionly have more than one guide for you though... [21:10] hi [21:10] Arelis_: if BLANK_DPMS is off, it doesn't matter what POWERDOWN_TIME is set to. Read the comments in the file. [21:10] somebody knows about running .xsession instead of gnome? [21:10] ubuntuguide is not recommended [21:10] Dave: see PM [21:10] xyblor: it didn't work out for you? [21:10] duckgoesoink: type alsamixer in console see if the mic on the top [21:10] xyblor: too bad [21:10] i think that i would rather have the newer card instead. it will work better with vista since i am going to duew boot ubuntu and vista. thanks for the help... [21:10] Whats the preferred font format on linux? [21:10] Folks I gotta reboot brb .. getting a bandaid too OUCH! [21:10] I'm trying to install my nVidia 7600 GS video drivers, and it says i'm still in X.server, what do I need to do? [21:10] why doesn't jackd work anymore? [21:11] xybre: preferred by whom? there is xft ttf .... [21:11] Ulfalizer: you want to write to NTFS? [21:11] can I just exit the shell? if so, how? [21:11] %C7 hi [21:11] k3ito: when i reboot a small window flashes up in the right corner, then the taskbar flashes up and minimises and i cant access it [21:11] does anyone use amule? [21:11] I saw that Firefox came with Ubuntu. How do I make it fire up. Tried launch in desktop mode. [21:11] i cant get this beryl key to install [21:11] AntiUSA: change to a virtual console and stop X [21:11] wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [21:11] aMule... [21:11] AntiUSA: type in exit [21:11] bruenig: how? [21:12] AntiUSA: you have 6 virtual consoles which can be accessed with control+alt+f(1-6) [21:12] Dave: have you tried running gnome-panel from the terminal [21:12] bruenig: by X windows, formats that work best or I dont need to include weird support for. Say if I have a list of different formats of the same font, ttf, pcf, mac, bitmap, etc. [21:12] Is it simple to go from ubuntu to xubuntu? [21:12] Hi [21:12] artti:yes [21:12] whats up ppl?

[23:28] ubotu: thanks [23:28] mike1980: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:28] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [23:28] woops [23:29] what? [23:29] solexious: standard gnome packager [23:29] Agent_bob: what was recorded in this file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:29] great responses for a bot [23:29] mike1980: the thing about "no resume image" just means that it isn't returning from hibernation [23:29] I'm converting 500gb hdds into linux FS. Since I store lots of mp3 and video files whats the best file system ? I need them to be reliable. [23:29] danbhfive: using ubuntu 7.10 gnome like me? i get something about gedit not being able to detect character encoding.. open office does something similar.. [23:29] or ark if you use kde [23:29] NigelS nothing useful. it's not an x error [23:29] danbhfive, posting triggers to me is not necessary, but thanks :D [23:29] NigelS x is working fine, but gdm wont run [23:29] Cyr4x: It doesnt open in it... [23:29] Starnestommy: But I nver told it to hibernate [23:29] danbhfive: i'm talking about the files that under linux appear as *.lnk [23:29] red22: that's weird, my links from windows are just text files [23:29] mike1980: which is why that message is showing up [23:30] i always open split .rar files in gnome packager [23:30] mike1980: you can safely ignore it [23:30] Agent_bob: then you've checked that you can get to working gnome session with startx? [23:30] red22: mine are url [23:30] mad_max02: ext3 is widely used.. lots of tools can handle it.. that's what I use [23:30] hello ! [23:30] any alternative libraries to gtkmm that would enable me to create gnome guis in ubuntu? [23:30] NigelS yes, already mentioned that. [23:30] if you mean rar, r01, r02, r03, etc. it always works [23:30] who is good at debugging "gdm" it reports to start [ok] but all i get out of it is, it starts x to the cursor and then x exits. no error messages, nothing. (btw startx works for all accounts) ? [23:30] hi, I just installed a number of themes via Synaptic... I can't find them. Is there a terminal command to locate recently installed packages? [23:30] repost ^ [23:31] mad_max02: there are lots of file systems available but for a home setup I don't think using something exotic is worth the trouble [23:31] ahorriblemess, themes? or packages? [23:31] danbhfive: ahh i mean links to files on your computer not website links.. do file links work for you? [23:31] Slart, yeah I thought of using ext3 too. I read a lot about XFS, Reiserfs and other but I still think that ext3 is the best supported solution [23:31] Agent_bob: and what's in the gdm logs? [23:31] Cry4x: yes i mean that type, what ext should i open, in windows its any of the r01, but that doesnt seem to work... [23:31] NigelS where ? [23:31] mad_max02: reiser is better with lots of small files, afaik.. don't know about xfs. never used it [23:31] Agent_bob: you can figure it out [23:31] Slart, and yes I have ext3 on main hdd [23:31] NigelS i don't see a gdm log [23:31] .rar should be the first file [23:31] solexious: rar e *.rar . [23:31] or maybe .r01 [23:31] is there a howto on how to use a ubuntu box as a firewall? [23:31] Cyr4x, its .rar [23:32] Slart, I have about 500.000 files that I need to store :D [23:32] or maybe you don't have rar installed? [23:32] neverblue: themes I'm pretty sure, I marked things that said "theme", "splash page" and "wallpapers" [23:32] sudo apt-get install rar [23:32] Cyr4x: apt-get install rar ? [23:32] ranging from few mb to +10GB [23:32] yes [23:32] ahorriblemess, then you change those in the 'theme' manager, not from the command line... [23:32] mouseboyx: no its the unrar package [23:32] red22: I don't know, but what kind of links are you trying to get working? executable ones? [23:32] read my mind :) [23:32] oh, ubuntu it, I'm installing WICD [23:32] mad_max02: I use ext3 for my mp3-collection.. never had any problems with it [23:32] hi can anyone help trying to install pcanywhere cross platform and it says no jvm found even though its installed [23:32] danbhfive: say i have a link to "c:\doc.txt" in my windows desktop made within windows. now i log into linux and browse to my windows desktop. i want to use that link to somehow get to c:\doc.txt ... [23:32] Starnestommy: it hangs there on boot up that the problem [23:32] Starnestommy: I guess I could disable the hibernation [23:32] what is the rar problem? [23:33] neverblue: yes I know, but they're not there, so I clicked "install themes" and I can't find where they were installed to [23:33] Slart, thanks. you just confirmed my opinion [23:33] !alsa [23:33] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [23:33] i am so lost :) [23:33] rar and unrar are the same package if you install rar you can right click the file and extract. [23:33] i have a network problem with my wireless card with 7.1...anyone [23:33] mad_max02: I have about 10k songs.. [23:33] Evening all! [23:33] ahorriblemess, and you are sure you used synaptic to install these themes? [23:33] red22: sorry, I don't know [23:33] !anyone | r00tHawK [23:33] r00tHawK: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:33] Hi [23:33] ok [23:34] !enter > r00tHawK [23:34] neverblue: absolutely... how could I not be/? There's only one Synaptic Package Manager [23:34] he guys is it possible to install from internet directly ? [23:34] !netinstall | xerxes1358 [23:34] xerxes1358: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [23:34] how can i get access to external hard-drive i connected it, and i can see the red light displaying [23:34] ahorriblemess, well, they are usually downloaded as a .tar, then u use the theme manager to add the new themes, they are not normally installed via synaptic.... [23:34] red22: you want to create a link to the txt file, and you want to create that link within the windows partition, correct? [23:34] I bought an ATI X1550 256 MB PCI-e card... should I save myself a lot of hassle and just get an Nvidia card? I am within the return period. [23:35] I have my wireless card (a Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG), and 7.10 .. I've followed all the instructions i can find...but now when i go to the network icon on the top bar it doesnt even show wireless networks anymore...just wired... [23:35] If anyone knows anything about conky... is it possible to make it word-wrap rss feeds, or do I need to use a .sh script to do that? [23:35] wow networking is easy in linu [23:35] linux [23:35] danbhfive: ok, thanks for trying, i appreciate the effort. [23:35] try #networking [23:35] NEUR0M4NCER, the conky web site may have some examples. You can script it to do things like that I belive. [23:35] prince_jammys: i will explain... [23:35] anyone went through this and know what to do? [23:35] Can someone help me, I need to know how to sudo when I'm in the live cd [23:36] but I don't know the default users sudo password [23:36] set root password first [23:36] red22: what i think you want to do is have a file that whenever you open it, really just points to another file ... am i right? [23:36] red22: man ls [23:36] k4k so 'sudo su -' doesnt just give you root ? [23:36] err [23:36] neverblue: ah yes, sorry I used the wrong terms. What I meant to ask is, when I click "install" in the Appearance manager, it brings me to my home folder. But I can't seem to locate where they were installed to. I tried to find them through the terminal by typing "whereis theme" and "whereis themes" [23:36] say i have a link to "c:\doc.txt" in my windows desktop made within windows. now i log into linux and browse to my windows desktop. i want to use that link to somehow get to c:\doc.txt from within linux. preferably, say, by double-clicking it. [23:36] on kubuntu live cd there is no root password [23:36] red22: err, man ln [23:36] i just clicked enter [23:36] neverblue: i'll try theme name [23:37] K4k through system administration users and groups [23:37] red22: ok i can tell you how to do that [23:37] ahorriblemess, so you just cannot find the themes... ah, I see [23:37] danbhfive: exactly which one do I need ? [23:37] NigelS i may have found it. looks like a permissions issue. on /usr 750 not 755 ;/ [23:37] Is there any way to raise the window list of the Window Selector applet with a keyboard shortcut? [23:37] clinton: i know ln, but i mean to do something a little different [23:37] If anyone is experienced with troubleshooting wireless on laptops, please get ahold of me .. i need to try to fix this today [23:37] clinton: ty though [23:37] red22: ln -s /path/to/original/file /path/to/link/file [23:37] danbhfive: netboot ? [23:37] xerxes1358: I don't know, it depends on what you are looking for [23:37] r00tHawK, did you get the driver installed ? [23:37] neverblue: nevermind I got it. /usr/share/doc I didn't realize there was a tab if you right click>properties on the installed package in synaptic [23:37] thanks though! [23:37] red22: the first file is your existing doc.txt ,, the second file you makeup (it cannot already exist) [23:38] anyone knows a real vista theme port for gnome? i did my own with murrine engine but i want some exact copy with pixmaps [23:38] NigelS yeah that was it. thanks anyway. [23:38] I have gotten a new error using rubytorrent (a program used to create torrents). I used it to make 5 torrents last night, but it doesn't work now, this is all I get in the terminal when I try to start it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56561/ [23:38] red22: whenever you open the link, you will really be opening doc.txt [23:38] i did everything in the instructions and to no avail [23:38] prince_jammys: ok suppose i have a folder full of shortcuts to files on my C:\ drive. these files i'm not exactly sure where they are on the c:\ drive but i want to access them from linux... i'm trying not to have to create the links from scratch in linux [23:38] red22: am i clear? [23:38] r00tHawK, please answer the question, directly, else I wont waste my time [23:39] wuts up ubuntu!! [23:39] yes [23:39] anyone else having problems with bluetooth mice? [23:39] red22: ah that's more difficult, because essentially you want to automate the process i described above for all those files [23:39] r00tHawK, ok, so with the driver successfully loaded, did you edit any files? [23:39] Hello: How do I get a list of the loaded modules when Ubuntu is running? [23:40] yes, i followed all the instructions on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684359 [23:40] my laptop's ps2 keyboard and touchpad occasionally stop working completely, usually with a key stuck repeating. i can plug in an external mouse to hit suspend & resume, at which point everything works right again. i'm sort of lost as to what to investigate. any ideas? [23:40] leeping, lsmod command. [23:40] Dr_willis, thanks! [23:40] prince_jammys: but it shouldn't be so difficult since the windows-created link to that file MUST somehow store a pointer to the file it is a shortcut to, right? [23:40] Can someone please guide met through a install of Ubuntu through internet??' [23:40] r00tHawK, is your card supported? [23:40] yes it is [23:40] red22: a windows style shortcut is a windows specifc file, a .lnk or whatever they call it - this of course doesn't work in linux or any other OS for that matter. You probably could automate the process of creating shortcuts for those files but you'd need to be ok with bash [23:40] red22: yes, but i dont know how windows does it-- what do the shortcut file names look like? [23:40] xerxes1358: are you installing from windows? [23:40] prince_jammys: most probably as text holding the full path to the file [23:40] but now it isnt even recognized...unlike before when it was...now it just shows wired connection [23:41] I have gotten a new error using rubytorrent (a program used to create torrents). I used it to make 5 torrents last night, but it doesn't work now, this is all I get in the terminal when I try to start it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56561/ [23:41] red22, i thouht the windows .lnk files were text files. try opening one in vi. [23:41] red22: ok, i was thinking maybe their file names might help ... i'm going to look, i have some of those myself [23:41] r00tHawK, where is the error then? [23:41] red22: they're binary iirc [23:41] danbhfive: I have a LIVEdvd. But the DVD seems to be damaged and hangs at 51% every time. [23:41] Hey syrus what was that command you gave me again to fix my display problem? [23:42] im new to linux - and i didn't get any errors when folloowing instructions...it just wont work...i cannot use my wireless...ethernet works fine.. [23:42] umm [23:42] prince_jammys: thanks for looking, i'll wait to see if you can figure anything out [23:42] This is lllsondowlll I forgot to log out before shutting off my pc, and I'm stuck logged into irc. [23:42] red22: it seems that they have extensions .lnk --- check it out [23:42] NigelS: it just seems so weird that this doesn't work "out of the box".. it would really help linux migration [23:42] gnome-power-manager THINKS THAT THIS IS An ac computer [23:42] but it is not [23:42] and i need to fix that [23:42] r00tHawK, have you done any form of troubleshooting? what results did you find...thats the 'error' I am looking for [23:42] red22: why on earth is it weird? [23:43] gnome-power-manager THINKS THAT THIS IS An ac computer [23:43] but it is not [23:43] *-network UNCLAIMED [23:43] description: Network controller [23:43] product: BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI [23:43] vendor: Broadcom Corporation [23:43] physical id: 0 [23:43] bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 [23:43] r00tHawK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:43] does installing video drivers (nvidia-glx-new) require a complete reboot, or is restarting X enough? [23:43] what to do to fix that? [23:43] kbrooks, please post your question clearly, on a single line, thanks [23:43] greg-g: sometimes a reboot, YMMV [23:43] greg-g: I think it only needs an x restart [23:43] red22: it looks like it's more difficult than you think. the contents of one .lnk file i looked at are not ASCii , not plain text [23:43] red22, given how many issues ive had with windows 'shortcuts' in the past. :) i tend to avoide them as much as possible. [23:43] danbhfive: and ? [23:43] it says network unclaimed when i type lshw -C network [23:43] clinton: danbhfive: thanks [23:44] NigelS: well ubuntu makes it easy to import your contacts and bookmarks and other odds and ends from your windows partition, but out of complete oversight, forgot all about to links to your own local files. [23:44] gnome-power-manager thinks that i have only an ac power supply, but i dont. i want it fixed because i was unaware of this low batt until i came here [23:44] ./topic When feeling outsmarted by others, go to #ubuntu to feel better. [23:44] :) [23:44] any idea [23:45] i set services, disabling acpid/apmd [23:45] kbrooks, i recall clicking on the systmodem tray power icon (i think) and tellit it i was on battery - but im rarely on battery. :) [23:45] red22: heh, its a big job to make an OS and have to take another OS (that doesnt support any other OS's formats) into account [23:45] xerxes1358: um, two thoughts, you could run a checkdisk option on the disk, or you could boot up the livecd, and setup the netinstall, but I haven't done that myself [23:45] red22: it's not an oversight - most shortcuts for one thing are to windows binaries - which can for the most part not be run and under no circumstance without something like wine [23:45] what does Network Unclaimed mean when i type lshw -C network.... [23:45] Dr_willis: yeah i would like to avoid them too, but i don't really have much choice since i have hundreds of them i need to work well.. everytime i log into linux the reason i have to pop back into windows is to be able to find things linked by the shortcuts [23:45] red22: whereas contact details etc are personal info - noting to do with programs [23:46] red22: I think a better question is why you work with hundreds of shortcuts - that seems like you've got a very disordered drive [23:46] red22: they also make it difficult to do on purpose [23:46] NigelS, i was going to say that.. but dident want to sound rude. :) [23:46] in general [23:46] Where is the xorg.conf? [23:46] I have gotten a new error using rubytorrent (a program used to create torrents). I used it to make 5 torrents last night, but it doesn't work now, this is all I get in the terminal when I try to start it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56561/ [23:47] eric__: /etc/X11 [23:47] Now this is weird... my cdrw has alwase worked.... until I upgraded to gutsy.... now I cant use it at all, sudo lshw doesent even show that I have a cdrom, but it shows in my bios, what happened? [23:47] eric__: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:47] thanks [23:47] gnome-power-manager thinks that i have only an ac power supply, but i dont. i want it fixed because i was unaware of this low batt until i came here [23:47] i set services, disabling acpid/apmd [23:47] NigelS: if the shortcut is to an exe it should just tell you so, if it's a text or pdf file (like in my case) then it should just do what you'd expect and open it. [23:47] but they're re-enabled, and after a reboot the same happens! [23:47] danbhfive: can we do the netinstall together ? [23:47] eric__: also, if you know the file name but don't know where it is, try locate xorg.conf [23:48] whats the command for writing a floppy disk image?im trying to make a bootable freedos disk and i need to update a bios [23:48] red22, a quick google hit finds --> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/follow-windows-shortcuts-from-linux-617917/ [23:49] red22: so you really think that you would wnat a stock ubuntu install to populate the desktop with hundreds of windows shortcuts blobs which "tell" you if it links to an exe but otherwise organise your pdf files? I don't think that's very realistic [23:49] prince_jammys: i guess they could make it difficult on purpose, but i doubt that they would go out of their way to encrypt or otherwise mangle something so simple as a file shortcut. but everything's possible i suppose. [23:49] xerxes1358: so, what OS can you get running on the computer? [23:49] ./j #gnome [23:49] red22: find one of those .lnk files, move to the folder where it is and type ::: strings file_name.lnk <--- this might work [23:49] oups ;) [23:49] danbhfive: I have formatted the laptop. I have now only the ubuntu dvd. [23:49] red22: this is microsoft - they make lots of things unnecessarily complicated [23:49] how do i write a floppy disk image from terminal? [23:49] hi all [23:49] my friend has a powerPC architecture and wants to install ubuntu [23:50] how does she do this [23:50] red22, given the stuff ives seen MS has done in the past.. I wouldent put it past them.. that URL i pasted has a script for reading .lnk files [23:50] xerxes1358: start with this, ill help ya http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html [23:50] danbhfive: I just want to install ubuntu + Gnome and get going from there [23:50] red22, i have no windows links to even test the scripts. So good luck [23:50] i have image of game which is in *.bin file. how can i mount it on ubuntu to try to install game ? [23:50] xerxes1358: actually, nvm [23:51] m1r, is it a linux game? [23:51] m1r, what game.. You probely RUN the insaller. not mount it. [23:51] powerPC + linux = TOTALLY ROCKS!!! a 400Mhz G3 made my pentium3 733 look like a 286...LOL [23:51] how do i write a floppy disk image? [23:51] xerxes1358: that page sucks [23:51] danbhfive: I was about to say that [23:51] danbhfive: It needs windows [23:51] neverblue: , Dr_willis , it is image of original game but extractd in *.bin , my original is wasted [23:52] bluefoxx, dd if=disk.image of=/dev/floppy (or similer /dev entry) [23:52] Dr_willis, ok, tyvm ^^ [23:52] m1r, you mean to say its an image of a windows game cd? [23:52] red22, Dr_willis - behold the simplcity of a windows shortcut http://mediasrv.ns.ac.yu/extra/fileformat/windows/lnk/shortcut.pdf ; some unkind people might suggest that a few lines of text would do much the same thing I guess [23:52] Dr_willis: yes [23:52] danbhfive: I have cleaned the dvd again. Let me try to install again [23:52] red22: yes, i can see the file it points to ... but it's still not simple since other strings also show up and it's in the form C:\blahblah which would have to be converted to the mount point [23:52] NigelS, yes MS uses binary for them.. when text like .desktop files would work better :) [23:53] Dr_willis, does it have to have the .img extension? [23:53] MY FRIEND HAS A POWERPC ARCHETECTURE [23:53] why will my USB speakers work in rhythmbox but not in firefox or in VLC? 'Tis very frustrating.

I just want to extend my desktop to my 2nd screen. [23:53] Dr_willis: aha.. good find. i do that often... it's not that i don't search first (everyone hates those ppl ;) it's just i always search for the wrong words (nothing useful comes up for "access windows links from linux" [23:53] !ppc | Zombocom [23:53] HOW DO INSTALL IT [23:53] Zombocom: PowerPC.
