[00:15] ogre: in linux, i think rythmbox should do the trick [00:15] that's no. 1 feature to implement in gimp [00:15] i was wondering about that [00:15] ... any help for removing all X-related packages? [00:15] NemesisD: actually, it asks you to select them during installation [00:15] there were many mockups on gimp forums [00:15] mneptok: well i have all the music stored on ipod. i just need to get it back off there somehow [00:15] NemesisD: whatever you choose [00:15] maybe in 2.6 or 3... [00:16] prince_jammys: no luck? [00:16] LjL, its kind of a special case because im referring to a persistent installation on a flash drive [00:16] ogre: you can switch the iPod connection setting so that it appears as a standard mass storage device. that way you don;t need iTunes.

[00:16] NemesisD: on the live CD, the username is "ubuntu" and the password is "" [00:16] red22: getting there [00:16] arbir: in compiz, there are two decorators you can use, gtk-window-decorator is the default one that uses your gnome theme, emerald is another one that has "flashier" themes [00:16] mneptok: if you do that, do the menus still work? [00:17] LjL, thats a space? [00:17] credible: how come its so complicated..... [00:17] i tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=240543 but i cant get it to work [00:17] egc: AFAIK it doesn't affect the iPod functionality at all. dunno about iTunes. [00:17] is there a forum on starting a window session on a remote server? [00:17] ... [00:17] mneptok: nice. i dont have windows or osx anyways. is the setting in the ipod itself to change how it behaves when plugged in? [00:17] mneptok: cool [00:17] ogre: on the iPod itself, i think. [00:17] as in gui version of ssh tunneling into a server [00:17] credible: i was playing around with themes and this happened yesterday.. but i still have a problem in identifying the current window from the taskbar [00:18] Well that didn't work, I got to the command line screen and typed in "sudo nano /etcx11/xorg.conf but there was no option to change my video driver. [00:18] NemesisD: no, it's an empty string [00:18] can anyone tell me what maps out mouse keys in ubuntu? [00:18] i do use rhytmbox with my ipod, but i dont believe its set as a mass storage dev [00:18] ogre: "Enable Disk Use: [00:18] " [00:18] My question's bin slipping through the cracks for the last week or so. Why do my USB speakers work in Rhythmbox but not VLC or firefox? I know it's a pretty dumb question but I'm fairly ubuntly challenged [00:19] ogre: http://www.iconlockit.com/iPodDiskUse.htm [00:19] :/ [00:19] Waffle: that's pretty much a terrible hack anyway... couldn't you perhaps just use GIMP in its own virtual desktop? [00:19] LjL, would that not work on ssh for some reason [00:19] egc: what are you trying to do? [00:19] NemesisD: unsure [00:19] So anymore Ideas? [00:19] LjL: how would i go about setting that up? [00:20] uuugh [00:20] Waffle, it's already set up - your Ubuntu comes with two desktops (i think) by default, which can be selected from a switcher next to the notification area [00:20] oh i thought you meant a third desktop within one of the two [00:20] Guess not?

[00:22] capital86, what is it [00:22] egc: Ot [00:23] lllsondowlll: "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (not /etcx11 by the way...) doesn't give you any "options", it's just a text file. the video driver choice *is* there, somewhere. but a better way to change the video driver selection, anyway, is to use dpkg-reconfigure [00:23] !xconfig > lllsondowlll (lllsondowlll, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:23] egc: It's more likely to be the file size limit of your filesystem, not your CPU.

[00:24] owh: i'm creating the tar file on an external hdd formatted with fat [00:25] capital86, what is other system ,xp [00:25] LjL: its pretty much all the gimp windows compiled into one [00:25] ? [00:25] Thank you then, I will go try that. I am being jerked around being told many solutions that never work but I have faith in this one, I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks for putting up with me again folks. I will be back if it doesn't work. [00:25] ecg you could pipe the tar file through split [00:25] Error 11: unrecongnized device string....that is the exact error.....The other system is xp64x [00:25] Waffle: well yes, that's what it is, it just creates a desktop inside your desktop.

[00:38] k [00:38] Dr_willis: I doubt that's the problem .. Otherwise, I wouldn't be getting errors halfway through, would I? I wouldn't even be able to start the cloning process. [00:38] how_to: kk just checking [00:38] i need a program to take pictures from my webcam [00:38] Waffle, my honest suggestion is to just stick to the GIMP and get used to the window managing... it's the best free raster editor around, and if many people like the multiple-windows interface, it must mean it can be got to terms with [00:38] Dr_willis: If that is the problem, how do I prevent Ubuntu from using UUID? [00:39] leeping, edit the files using them and replace them with /dev/hd## or whatever [00:39] ok then, how can i get my network and sound drivers installed [00:39] ubotu: thanks [00:39] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [00:39] leeping2009: it might be the RAM as well, for all i know. should look at kernel panic and logs... [00:39] how_to: is it workin? [00:40] ..anyone? [00:40] no [00:40] try again [00:40] how_to: or do need for me to upload it to somewhere else? [00:40] well [00:40] dunno [00:40] try dcc [00:40] greetings, anyone figured out a workaround for the firefox profile manager bug in Gutsy ? [00:40] i'm having some problems with my wireless card (intel 8800BG).. after i updated my kernel and restarted, i get this off dmesg; [00:40] ipw2200: Unable to load ucode: -62 [00:40] ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -62 [00:41] how_to: http://filebin.ca/czwbee/bcm43xx-firmware_1.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb [00:41] how_to: that's the first one [00:41] <^miaw> hi [00:41] k [00:41] thx [00:41] how_to: http://filebin.ca/wveegz/bcm43xx-fwcutter_20060501-5_i386.deb [00:41] how_to: and that's the second one [00:41] LjL: I have another piece of information: I don't think it's a problem with the receiving computers. They both received the same image and both got kernel panics [00:41] k [00:41] LjL: The error is: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!" [00:42] * rhizo tried the usual "firefox -ProfileManager" or "firefox -a asdf" ( as per launchpad bug entry ) all to no avail :( [00:42] how can i activate my graphics driver [00:42] cubias8719: modprobe it [00:42] i cant get my computer to connect to my WEP network.. but it works as soon as i login in windows [00:42] and i would do that how? [00:43] modprobe [00:43] cubias8719: type "man modprobe" [00:43] cubias8719: on the terminal type in sudo modprobe (driver) [00:43] yeah that too [00:43] open a terminal window, cubias8719, and issue that command, feeding it your driver as an argument [00:43] leeping2009: wait, it's the sending computer or the receiving ones that are getting the panic? [00:43] Flannel: after install them wht shold I do next? or that`s it? thx [00:43] oops [00:43] LjL: It's the receiving ones that got the panic. [00:44] sorry Flannel [00:44] so everyone here is happy with buggy firefox profile manager in Gutsy ?.. [00:44] how_to: it's flare183 [00:44] thx dude [00:44] no problem [00:44] leeping2009: how are you sending? [00:44] i'm not using profiles [00:44] just have only one [00:44] how_to: you try to connect using dhclient or gnome's network manager [00:44] k im trying, im new to ubuntu so that should explain my multiple questions [00:45] right, ok [00:45] LjL: I'm using systemimager-server. Previously I was using dd through netcat. When dd through netcat failed, I fell back to systemimager and I'm still getting panics [00:45] Cyr4x: and you should use them ( NoScript extension and separate profile for your secure email and online banking is a must ) [00:45] HELP! I ran apt-get dist-upgrade from 6.1 to 7.x and now my Linux will not boot at all. [00:45] ubuntu is chrooting postfix and sasl so when I try authorizing (AUTH PLAIN) with SMTP I get this error in mail.warn "SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory" [00:45] LjL: When I use systemimager, I retrieve the image from the golden client onto the image server first; that occurs without errors. It's when sending the image to the other clones that I get the error. When I use dd and netcat, only the receiving end gets the error. [00:45] phibbit: that's not the way to upgrade... [00:45] !upgrade > phibbit (phibbit, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:46] i don't use online banking at now [00:46] phibbit: next time, try reading before you press the button... you can only upgrade between immediately successive versions [00:46] how do i get a terminal up [00:46] how do you stop auto dialup connection when starting up the computer [00:46] and for email i use evolition [00:46] xterm [00:46] Applications > Accessories or some such [00:46] rhizo: well, what do I do now? [00:46] yeah something like that [00:46] thank you [00:47] phibbit: go on with your life ? [00:47] tritan_3-> remove the dial up entry in /etc/network/inerfaces [00:47] it says, "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" [00:47] wow [00:47] tritan_3: that is, comment out the auto ppp0 (or whatever ppp) line === spr0k3t_ is now known as spr0k3t [00:48] LjL: I'm about to do another clone with Systemimager across two different computers. (i.e. the source and the sink are both different .. only the master server is the same.) [00:48] hey everyone. I decided to do a fresh install on Gutsy, and I installed my Radeon 9550 drivers through the restricted drivers manager, and they're performing great (and 3d acceleration is installed), however, Compiz still wont work. >_> I enabled the composite extension in xorg.conf, and now it just says "failed to initialize desktop effects" [00:48] nickrud, hi,is this （support this channel) your job? [00:48] LjL: Let's see what happens [00:48] leeping2009: well, to me that sounds like it's the networking, since you've tried different ways to transfer and different computers... i wonder if it could simply be that, for some reason, your computers miss interrupts from the network card, and when they miss too many (like when there's a transfer in progress), the kernel takes it badly. have you tried the standard universal medicines - "noapic", "noacpi", "acpi=off", and in this case specifically, i'd [00:48] consider "irqpoll"? [00:48] icesword: nah, my pasttime [00:48] phibbit: the "x" in "7.x" actually matters, or could matter in your case [00:48] hi nickrud [00:48] it's a dual boot system (lin & win) [00:48] icesword: I'm in a competition with a person who will remain nameless ;) [00:48] zelrikriando: hi [00:49] is there a program for linux that'll let me take pictures from my webcam [00:49] exershio afaik compiz on ati cards need aiglx [00:49] * nickrud leaves 'nameless' in the dust, on quantity anyway [00:49] rhizo: what does apt-get dist-install get you when you go from 6.1? [00:49] now from this modprobe thing, how do i get the nvidia drivers goin [00:49] LjL: I'll try the standard universal medicines and get back to you in about 5 minutes. :) Thanks [00:49] What is the GUI application that depackages? [00:49] Cyr4x: what is that? [00:49] workaround for the firefox profile manager bug in Gutsy, anyone ? [00:49] it's built-in in compiz [00:49] no.. === PmDematagoda is now known as PmDematagoda_ [00:49] i mean xorg [00:49] !webcam [00:49] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [00:49] rhizo: use the firefox binaries from mozilla? === PmDematagoda_ is now known as PmDematagoda [00:49] file says, auto lo, iface lo inet loopback, iface ppp0, inet ppp, provider ppp0, what do i remove to stop auto dial out? [00:50] can anyone help me with VNC? If I try to open synaptic manager, or just wait a few minutes, it freezes my linux box... [00:50] Cyr4x: so how do I enable this? [00:50] you just have to set it up properly in your xorg conf [00:50] LjL: However I should mention that it doesn't always kill the interrupt handler, sometimes it doesn't get to the words "Kernel panic" and the system will hang .. in other instances it will quit because of an error in the rsync data stream [00:50] rhizo: use a different browser [00:50] Cyr4x: Do you know how? Or should I check the forums [00:50] TrioTorus: provider ppp0 iirc [00:50] go on with your life ;) [00:50] tritan_3-> anytying related to ppp0 [00:50] just google for "compiz+ati+aiglx" [00:50] leeping2009: i suspect my message got cut, i was saying "irqpoll" in this case specifically [00:50] Cyr4x: okay, thanks [00:50] phibbit: i bet "man apt-get" has the answer... get into a habit of *reading* before you issue commands at your prompt ( also, you'll probably find "aptitude" more to your liking as a newcommer to ubuntu / debian realm ) [00:50] Cyr4x: it isn't that xgl crap that'll lag my computer to hell, is it? [00:51] LjL: I got that piece of the message, I'll include it [00:51] i don't remeber how, i use nvidia card which provide it out of the box [00:51] anyone around to help out with my ipw2200 driver...? [00:51] amenado: I think the other stuff is set up for use with network manager, he'll have to reconfig if he does that [00:51] no it's not xgl [00:51] will I still be able to use dial up connection? [00:51] Anyone know the name of the GUI version of dpkg? [00:51] xgl is a separate x server [00:51] nickrud: looks like the only way out, yeah [00:51] Cyr4x: okay, I'll look into it. thanks [00:51] aiglx is a module in xorg [00:51] Flare183: dpkg -i packet.deb ? or what was the command? [00:51] * rhizo was hoping for a quick cli switch type of solution [00:51] rough [00:51] ubuntu is chrooting postfix and sasl so when I try authorizing (AUTH PLAIN) with SMTP I get this error in mail.warn "SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory" [00:51] rhizo, right now, there's no apt anything nor man anything, it's "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" Is it possible that the apt-get changed the boot loader & is trying to mount Windows? [00:52] how do i enable my graphics card [00:52] egc: i don't use firefox; need to support a bunch of users though ( company policy, blah blah ) [00:52] Hello everyone. Another Ubuntu Newb question. I seem to be struggling to set up a VPN to my office from within Ubuntu. [00:52] nickrud tritan_3 the ppp0 interface is normally associated to dial up, anyhow it is wise to save a copy of the interface file before modifications [00:52] thank you.. i will give it a try [00:52] rhizo: i c [00:52] Hi, I get a message that gstreamer-properties can't be found when I want to install it. How can I install it ? [00:52] Anyone running AMD64 on Ubuntu? [00:52] ahh damn just updated kernel on this box and it didn't keep the old kernel and has the wrong grub permissions [00:52] well on another box :p [00:52] phibbit: well, only indirectly, thru a complex chain of actions, triggered by it [00:53] red22: i got it [00:53] LjL: I don't think the "new" pair of computers is getting the kernel panic - the old pair panicked in less than 5 seconds. Now on the new computers, rsync has been running for >30 seconds.. I'll see if it finishes [00:53] Zeddie-> it normally keeps the old one, you looked in /boot ? [00:53] red22: the final phase is to weed out all links to exe files, cuz there's a ton of them [00:53] can rysnc do local backups? [00:53] neverblue, got it working. Thanks brother [00:53] I'm installing kiba-dock, where do I install programs too? /*my_name*/home/.kiba-dock or somewhere else? [00:54] how do I get rid of unneeded file? [00:54] Anyone know why I can use dpkg in the command line, but I can't just double click on the file to depackage it? [00:54] hotmonkeyluv: ~/.kiba-dock I think [00:54] phibbit: your installation is likely a lost cause ( i haven't a way of knowing, for you never specified the "x" ver. number, ) [00:54] spudratic0-> rm filename [00:54] spudratic0: rm undeededfile [00:54] thanks amenado [00:54] Starnestommy: what does the *squiggly* and / mean? [00:54] rhizo: 7.04 [00:55] thnaks 13 [00:55] phibbit: you could try to boot from another disk, and see if anything is left of your installation by attaching the harddrive as a slave, and trying to mount its extended type partition [00:55] hotmonkeyluv: /home/username/ [00:55] Starnestommy: I hate my laptop kb, no tilde [00:55] ah, thanks [00:55] LjL: The system clone worked on the new pair of computeres [00:55] thezealot check what gdebi-gtk saysi [00:55] rhizo: Live CD? [00:55] maybe it crashes? [00:55] J-_-> yes local backup with rsync is possible, just make sure destination is not same as your origin [00:55] Now for the old pair... [00:55] hey nickrud [00:55] Flare183: /usr/bin/dpkg: cannot execute binary file after running dpkg -i package.deb [00:55] phibbit: or that, yes [00:56] how can i enable my graphics card [00:56] how_to: i don't know [00:56] anyone know what font is in this screenshot: http://incise.org/images/screenshots/2003-06-28-142739.png [00:56] damn [00:56] in the terminal [00:56] phibbit: you could also use liveCD, mount hdd and save any data to usb drive, then reinstall [00:56] cubias ati or nvidia? [00:56] rhizo assuming it's still there, what's the fastest way to get it back? [00:56] amenado: cool, thanks dude [00:56] nvidia [00:56] 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/ [00:56] just change nv to nvidia in your xorg.conf [00:56] phibbit: what egc just told you: live cd + mount + save to usb storage [00:56] cubias8719-> if you go to a console and type X :8 and you get the gui..may not be complete just an X in the midlle, but it shows your video is working [00:56] any help? :( /usr/bin/dpkg: cannot execute binary file after running dpkg -i package.deb [00:56] Zeddie-> it normally keeps the old one, you looked in /boot ? <--- would love to unfortunately it only loads the initramfs [00:56] if you have drivers installed [00:57] Zeddie-> huh? nothing left in your /boot? [00:57] any help? :( /usr/bin/dpkg: cannot execute binary file after running dpkg -i package.deb [00:57] cubias8719, you can run the restricted-manager tool and it should be able to insall/configure them automaticially [00:57] if not, first do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [00:57] i dont even know if they are. it seems like it. but i just installed this off of windows [00:57] Hello everyone. Another Ubuntu Newb question. I seem to be struggling to set up a VPN to my office from within Ubuntu. [00:57] Hello, i've been trying to install ubuntu 32bit on my hp pavilion laptop (with 64 amd althon 3800+ processor), however after a while in the setup CD i get a strange text prompt, Why is that happening ? [00:57] cubias8719, system-> admin -> restricted driver manager [00:57] and this is a pretty old computer im using just to mess around with [00:57] Is it because 32bit - 64bit thing ? [00:57] vick: what is the text prompt saying? [00:58] is a VPN client included in the Ubuntu 7.10 standard install? [00:58] !vpn [00:58] Starnestommy: something about Busybox for starters [00:58] leeping2009: well, while it's unlikely that both computers would have hardware faults, i think it's possible that both fail with apic and friends [00:58] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [00:58] Starnestommy: then it is giving me a strange shell [00:58] az [00:58] vick: sounds like either a bad iso, a bad burn, or the cd or hard disk wasn't detected [00:58] Crusader_Tech-> ssh client good enuff? its included [00:58] if it is a real old computer (something below geforce fx) better try nvidia-glx drivers instead of nvidia-glx-new === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [00:58] Crusader_Tech: find out easily with "aptitude search vpn" [00:59] Crusader_Tech: have you looked into vpnc? [00:59] Starnestommy: There is check for defect CD option with the CD [00:59] LjL: What about the possibility that the source computer had bad sectors and the image that I got from it was corrupted? [00:59] 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/ [00:59] its a geforce 2 MX400 [00:59] i use vpnc to vpn into my company's intranet [00:59] I simply need a basic VPN client, like the one in Windows XP, to connect to my firewall at the office. [00:59] Starnestommy: should i test for that and come back and tell you, or that isn't related ? [00:59] it has a plugin for network-manager [00:59] leeping2009: and that would cause a *kernel panic* in the receiving computer? i find that unlikely [00:59] omg [00:59] LjL: I'm trying the four boot parameters that you gave me [00:59] hello how to paste the updates? I have updates saved in my usb flash drives..how to paste it in ubuntu desktop 7.10?which folder? thanks [00:59] LjL: Hopefully it will do the trick :) [00:59] Crusader_Tech-> ssh client is usually a good start [00:59] vick: test that, and run 'dmesg' in the shell to look for errors [01:00] I've only tried to install one VPN client from the repository, and it asked for my Ubuntu CD? [01:00] explains why i got this comp for free [01:00] Amenado, Thanks, but where do I find that client? [01:00] so try to install nvidia-glx or run restricted-driver-manager as said [01:00] Starnestommy: k, brb [01:00] Kalamansi, the package manager keeps its cache in /var/cache/* somewhere. you could tyr copying them in there. [01:00] Crusader_Tech-> ssh client is included as part of install [01:00] how do i do this. on the terminal? [01:00] Crusader_Tech: vpnc works with cisco based vpns [01:00] !restricted [01:00] 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 [01:00] Dr_willis : how to navigate there? [01:01] Crusader_Tech: sudo aptitude install network-manager-vpnc [01:01] Kalamansi-> updates? these are deb files? [01:01] VPNC is telling me something's not installed one second [01:01] amenado: yes all deb files [01:01] Zeddie-> huh? nothing left in your /boot? <--- just dumps into busybox [01:01] * rhizo -afk & [01:02] what fun have to reinstall everything [01:02] with vpnc, I first make a new connection, right? [01:02] amenado:all the updates, I've saved it in my flash drive usb. how to paste and where in ubuntu desktop 7.10? [01:02] Zeddie-> you have not booted yet, so you were not able to see your /boot dir [01:02] LjL: I'm quite puzzled as well :) I'm getting a very similar error [01:02] Kalamansi, the package manager keeps its cache in /var/cache/apt/archives - You will need to use the root user to write things to that place. I would just use the bash shell to do the copying. It may be very very worth while for you to read a bash guide or 2 befor messing with the system files in such a way [01:02] Crusader_Tech: are you using wireless connectino? [01:02] connection [01:02] or new profile I mean. When I choose that, it asks me to pick from several different types. [01:02] egc, no, wired. [01:02] oh i guess it doesnt matter [01:02] Kalamansi-> if they are .deb files, you can just type dpkg -i /path/to/where/they/are.deb [01:03] Zeddie-> you have not booted yet, so you were not able to see your /boot dir <--- yeah and unfortunately that stuffs me up [01:03] !codecs [01:03] 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 [01:03] LjL: The system did not crash, I got an error in the rsync protocol data stream. The top of the error output reads "general protection fault: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 0" [01:03] The required daemon (vpnc) isn't available, you will not be able to use this connection until the daemon is not installed. [01:03] Kalamansi, the basics.. sudo cp /path/tp/the/files/* /var/cache/ [01:03] you can configure it through the network manager gui [01:03] that comes up when I try to make a cisco type connection. [01:03] oops ive the full path at the last . :) [01:03] i went on the restricted drivers and it said nvidia-glx is not enable. do you know how i enable it? [01:03] prince_jammys: so you get a script going or what? [01:03] Zeddie-> you have the liveCD ? boot from it and go to recovery mode, then mount your normal partition for / [01:04] Crusader_Tech: did you use synaptic to install vpnc? [01:04] red22: yes [01:04] red22: seems to work [01:04] linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic is still ownable by vmsplice exploit. is it ok? [01:04] leeping2009: that's still a kernel error as far as i can gather [01:04] no, it's kvpnc from add/remove [01:04] I'm trying to install Ubuntu for Dual boot with Windows and I'm at the partitioning part, and I have read guides and they say there should be an option that says "Guided - resize disk" or something like that, but mine only says "Guided - resize entire disk"... What do I do? [01:04] do you know any app that will scan chosen folder for mp3's and do a .pls or .m3u playlist from it? [01:04] hi [01:04] LjL: I imagine so. I will now attempt to load the image that "worked" for the "new" pair of computers, onto the computers that crashed [01:04] Crusader_Tech: try going thru synaptic, it may process dependencies more fully [01:05] it worked for me [01:05] doing it now egc [01:05] LjL: The only issue there is that the "new" pair of computers have different hardware... [01:05] i'm messing around with a script on a page given by Dr_willis but it needs a little tweaking... still working on it [01:05] Crusader_Tech-> but at the server end, is it configured to run a corresponding server for kvnc? or is sshd on it already? [01:05] someone know how to share file between ubuntu and osx ? [01:05] can i see what you got? paste bin it somewhere ? [01:05] !paste [01:05] 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) [01:05] nameless-> nfs ? [01:05] yes [01:05] nameless-> ftp, or scp...lots of ways [01:05] LjL: Maybe this info will help: I've gotten repeated segfaults when installing ubuntu over the network on this source computer that's causing the crashing [01:06] amenado, lan [01:06] nameless: use ssh filesystem - you need sshd service on ubuntu, and there's a thingie for OS X [01:06] not sure. It's an Astaro security gateway, and I normally connect by using the built-in windows XP VPN client. No fancy settings. just an IP address and a login. [01:06] Crusader_Tech: i also don't have kvpnc installed...just vpnc and network-manager-vpnc [01:06] LjL: I had to install with a CD to finally get it to work [01:06] leeping2009: but a googleable one, and one that when google shows promising hits. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/133575 to begin with, and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/147798 - both related to network copying of big files, regardless of medium. perhaps, uhm, perhaps is it just happening after 2/4Gb? (hope not). or, are the computers 64-bit? [01:06] Crusader_Tech: sudo aptitude install network-manager-vpnc [01:06] nameless nfs is network file system, you load the client and an nfs server on the other side sharing it [01:06] linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic is still ownable by vmsplice exploit. is it ok? [01:06] nfs also sucks [01:06] ssh for the win :) [01:07] LjL: Are you asking about whether it's happening after a certain amount of data transferred? No, it happens almost instantly. And yes, the computers are 64-bit (Q6600 processor) [01:07] Dr_willis : im in var/cache/apt/archives there is a folder there named "partial".. ill paste in the folder "partial"? [01:07] LimCore-> you have other users on your system you dont trust? if by yourself dont worry too much [01:07] doing it now Rhizo [01:07] If I connect 2 Ubuntu notebooks with a crossover cable, what would I have to do to be able to transfer files? [01:07] LjL: I'll look at what you came up with. I wasn't able to find much on Google myself so that's why I came here :) [01:07] leeping2009: then, although it talks about old kernels, http://www.issociate.de/board/post/299182/general_protection_fault:_0000_[1]_SMP.html seems relevant [01:07] * rhizo -afk --foreal & [01:07] i have this error from camorama "Couldn't connect to video device (/dev/video0) Please check connection." [01:07] nicer [01:07] haha oops [01:08] Kalamansi-> you can try installing just a few deb from your usb pen drive.. dpkig -i nameofpackage.deb [01:08] Zeddie-> you have the liveCD ? boot from it and go to recovery mode, then mount your normal partition for / <-- nah found the fix :) refer to /dev/hda1 instead by the UUID :) [01:08] Zeddie glad you found it yourself [01:09] this is ridiculous, i did a fresh re-install because something on ubuntu screwed my sound up, it worked fine after the reinstallation, i let it do it's glob of 'updates' and now it's screwed up again [01:09] LjL: Oh, I think this might be the issue... 64-bit DMA causes data corruption with atl1. That's precisely the network driver that I'm using! [01:09] Has anyone else ever not been able to double click on a .deb package to unpackage it? I can do it in the command prompt, but not the gui app... [01:09] Amaranth: well, user->root exploit is very serious... I would like to have it fixed :/ [01:09] wow, I'm getting some pretty amazing torrent speeds right now for ubuntu :) [01:09] red22: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56571/ [01:09] How do I partition my harddrive with the Ubuntu installer so that I can dual boot between Windows and Ubuntu? [01:09] LimCore: Err [01:09] leeping2009: maybe, but don't disregard the 4GB boundary even though it's happening before reaching that... bug #133575 is open for the *Gutsy* kernel [01:10] red22: will not work if you have files with the same name in different folders [01:10] Ok. this is the first thing I've come across that is actually requiring some work in Ubuntu. I'm used to the "click and it works" VPN client in XP. What was that ssh you were talking about? [01:10] red22: wouldnt be hard to make that change, though [01:10] amenado : dpkig command not found .... [01:10] leeping2009: ah right nevermind, that *is* the bug you're talking about [01:10] Devo, during the installation, it will ask you how much of the current disk you would like to dedicate to the installation of ubuntu. You just specify it there [01:11] LimCore: You mean the vmsplice thing? It tends to be a denial of service attack more than a privilege escalation thing [01:11] Hitman: When does it say that? [01:11] LjL: Now for a novice question, can I update to 2.6.23 despite the fact that the newest Ubuntu kernel is 2.6.22? [01:11] Crusader_Tech-> it dont matter if it was windows, the server side has to be running a server services, if it was vpn, a vpn server, in ssh case, sshd [01:11] LimCore: it's more likely to corrupt memory than let someone take over [01:11] red22: obviously you have to change the mntpnt variable to whatever your mount point is [01:11] i have this error from camorama "Couldn't connect to video device (/dev/video0) Please check connection." [01:11] Kalamansi-> dpkg -i note the spaces and spelling [01:11] Once you boot from the live cd into gnome and initiate the install icon [01:12] LjL: I'm asking this because apparently the 2.6.23 kernel fixes the issue - it disables 64-bit DMA with atl1 [01:12] Hitman: It gave me 3 options, Guided - Use entire disk, Guided - Use largest continguous free space, and Manual... [01:12] it lets you review it very well before you "commit" any changes so don't sweat it [01:12] Something on ubuntu is making my audio only as loud as a soft conversation, with master volume maxed, pcm maxed, speakes maxed. I just did a fresh install and it was fine, after ubuntu did it's updates it was screwed up again. PLEASE HELP [01:12] leeping2009: this channel doesn't support that sort of thing... you might be able to get it from the Hardy repositories, cross your finger, and have it work... but then you're kind of on your own. [01:12] Devo select Manual [01:12] LjL: Thanks, by the way. Finding the problem by myself was going to take weeks! [01:12] Devo-> then adjust the partition sizes accordingly [01:13] The Live CD starts booting, goes through Loading essential drivers & mounting root file system, and then it stops (the first time, it eventually said "The drive appears confused). [01:13] it will detect the ntfs partition and should add it to the boot menu automatically [01:13] how to do an sh script that will scan chosen folder for mp3's and will save them to a text file (paths to them) [01:13] Amenado: In that case I need to find out what it's running. But the fact that XP's VPN client doesn't ask me what kind of connection to use, doesn't help figure out what kind of connection it is? [01:13] how to download all packages and updates in ubuntu 7.10 desktop? direct to the site... [01:13] amenado: Ok... Should I make the Ubuntu partition Logical or Primary? [01:13] amenado : are you pinoy? [01:13] Crusader_Tech-> off course it does, how do you know what is running at the opposite end? [01:14] leeping2009: nah, the last error you gave was the key, if you had got it before you'd have found it on google. anyway, to get the Hardy kernel, you can check http://packages.ubuntu.com for the packages that the kernel depends on, download all those, and dpkg -i. the comforting thing is that you'll still be able to boot from the Gutsy kernel if things go wrong... but that doesn't guarantee too much, either. [01:14] can anyone help? [01:14] Kalamansi-> what is that? [01:14] Amaranth: you are mistaken [01:14] Amaranth: it usually (always?) succedes to give root, I tried [01:14] nevermind [01:14] Something on ubuntu is making my audio only as loud as a soft conversation, with master volume maxed, pcm maxed, speakes maxed. I just did a fresh install and it was fine, after ubuntu did it's updates it was screwed up again. PLEASE HELP [01:14] Amaranth: anyway, it IS fixed (my mistake) in ubuntu 7.10 [01:14] mehmet, webcam in ubuntu are tricky specialy the cheap ones, ( don'T mean your's is cheap) , the best i can do for you is give you the webcam tutorial link [01:15] !webcam > mehmet check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [01:15] leeping2009: or if you're in a hurry, you could just put the entire Hardy main/restricted in your sources.list, and install the kernel, but if you do that, be very careful in case it tries to slip other packages under your nose (and remember to remove those repositories when you're finished with them, as well...) [01:15] Devo it does not matter, ubuntu can boot from extended or primary partitions [01:15] GET USED TO ITMIKE E LOL [01:15] amenado : how to download all the packages (all the packages of 7.10 ubuntu desktop) from the beginning up to the end of packages) [01:15] sorry caps were on [01:15] we noticed [01:15] mike-e: figure out what your audio controller is, then google with its name and ubuntu === jacob_ is now known as tvdxer [01:15] Pelo: these tutorial are mad confusing [01:15] prince_jammys: thanks.. i'm looking through it right now. i think there will also be issues with handling spaces in file names. i'm also working on handling that. [01:15] and it's a built in one [01:16] red22: dealt with that [01:16] mehmet, you can also try looking up your model in the forum for extra instructions www.ubuntuforums.org [01:16] Kalamansi i guess you can attempt to use the synaptic and check all ? [01:16] armando: It only gives me the options of Primary and Logical. [01:16] red22: thats why it took as long as it did, tested with spaces [01:16] prince_jammys: ok, i'll check that out.. the other script i was working didn't handle that so well... seems the spaces were output as underscores by default [01:16] hey anyone knows if i can request a receipt by DEFAULT for all the messages i sent? thnks in advance [01:16] LjL: I think I'll download the kernel manually, I don't want too many Hardy packages to be installed on the Gutsy system. :) Thanks again, I appreciate it! [01:16] prince_jammys: nice then [01:16] in evolution i mean [01:17] Kalamansi under add/remove software..when you select all, click all possible boxes for download, and then have a nice nap [01:17] Anybody here know how to get the terminal (without X running) in 1440 x 900 resolution for my LCD? [01:17] Hi, What program can I use to see if my webcam is working / recognized ? [01:17] I check the cables and test it with cable tester (100% okay I tested it to other pc and I have internet).. but when I plug it in ubuntu, I don't have internet...how to fix this? thanks [01:17] whitor: cheese [01:17] mike-e: did u get that? [01:17] red22: it can definitely deal with spaces in the directory names -- did not test with spaces in the file names ... but should work [01:17] andresmujica, ... ok [01:17] amenado [01:17] jacob: that's impossible [01:18] Devo-> amenado is the nick.. but yes you can install in primary or logical, usually you try to make 3 primaries and 1 logical (that can be subdivided some more) [01:18] jacob_: i second Cyr4x [01:18] afaik text mode uses 720xSOMETHING resolution [01:18] amenado: Lol, sorry. =] [01:18] Yeah, I noticed it was at 720 x 400 [01:18] actually [01:18] whitor: probably yu'll nedd also to set it in v4l2. try with gstreamer-properties.. easiest i forgot about it [01:18] and no other one [01:18] prince_jammys: i found a package that transparently adds .lnk file handling ... but it's for kde.. not sure if there's a gnome alternative [01:18] is there a forum for using lame on a command line? [01:18] prince_jammys: it's called kfile [01:18] amenado when I plug and unplug the cable it says im connected to wired internet connection. [01:18] google: lame+forum [01:19] Kalamansi-> you have an ip address on your hosts ? paste in pastebin ifconfig -a and route -r [01:19] Kalamansi-> you have an ip address on your hosts ? paste in pastebin ifconfig -a and route -ran [01:19] andresmujica, ok.. installing cheese too :) [01:19] jacob_: there may be a way to adjust your BIOS settings to do it [01:19] !lame [01:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about lame - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:19] amenado : okay sec [01:19] jacob_: but i can't say beyond that [01:19] amenado: When I try and go forward I get this error "File system doesn't have expected sizes for Windows to like it. Cluster size is 2k (1k expected); number of clusters is 20017 (39957 expected); size of FATs is 79 sectors (157 expected)." What do I do? [01:19] red22: seeing as the script turned out to be short, it's bound to be out there... as you see, no files are written anywhere except for the folder where you run it, so try it out [01:19] OK, thanks [01:19] how do i find out the driver for my webcam? [01:20] Devo how big is the FAT partition that currently exist? [01:20] by googling it, mehmet, but if it's logitech, chances are it'll never work [01:20] nah it's a HP [01:20] red22: oh and only links to drive C: as you see [01:20] amenado: The Fat16 or the Fat32? [01:21] Devo both [01:21] amenado: Fat16: 33 MB and Fat32: 2300 MB. [01:21] Devo and tell us, what is the layout of the existing partitions? [01:21] amenado: What do you mean by layout? [01:21] mehmet, do some googling, find some pictures if necessary, to establish the model, finding a driver from there should be easy [01:21] amenado : route -ran is not working. neither route -r [01:22] Devo is fat16 /dev/hda0 then fat32 /dev/hda1 ? [01:22] Jangari: the model to the laptop or the webcam itself? [01:22] Kalamansi perhaps just route -n [01:22] or, mehmet, type lsusb and note the hardware number, which should be useful to identify which driver it uses [01:22] the webcam itself [01:22] amenado: Fat16 is /media/sda1 and Fat32 is /media/sda3. [01:22] oh, it's built in? [01:23] amenado: Or rather... /dev instead of /media [01:23] Devo wait a minute, [01:23] ahh okay [01:23] is back [01:23] Devo whats on /dev/sda0 and /dev/sda2 ? [01:23] Jangari: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia [01:23] Bus 002 Device 004: ID 05ac:1209 Apple Computer, Inc.

[01:23] hey the floodbot actually works [01:23] clever [01:23] my firefox is giveing my trouble, when i try to run it i got a msg that it is already running, [01:23] what should i do [01:24] prince_jammys: yeah i see. the other route i was taking was to run something similar but only for a sppecific file, then to associate .lnk files with the script so you can double-click em from gnome. that should be possible and work too right? [01:24] amenado: There is no /dev/sda0 and on /dev/sda2 is the Windows partition with NTFS and a size that I want to make 216004 MB and 71400 use MB. [01:24] vrkhans: try to delete the firefox profile in your home directory [01:24] vrkhans: and then restart [01:24] arbir: Thats stupid [01:24] vrkhans: i forget there is a file which remains.. if you just delete that, then you dont even need to delete the profile [01:24] red22 not sure what you mean .. the files created can be double clicked on [01:24] Devo-> right, i forget sometimes..no sda0 , so you already have /dev/sda0 and set to how much? [01:25] Boglizk: i forget the file.... sorry for the misleading answer [01:25] vrkhans: Kill the process instead [01:25] !help [01:25] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:25] takes back his "delete the profile" answer [01:25] amenado: I don't have a /dev/sda0... [01:25] arbir which file [01:25] Boglizk: its not a process issue.. i have had this before..... [01:25] Devo my typo ..whats the size for /dev/sda2? [01:25] vrkhans: let me google.. i dont remember it off my head [01:25] [Question] If I installed the new Ubuntu Alpha version, is it upgradable to future alpha/stable release? [01:26] red22: i can even preview them with nautilus :) [01:26] !hardy | exst_mhua [01:26] exst_mhua: 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 [01:26] amenado: I'm setting the size to 216004 MB. [01:26] Bohlizk i tryied ps x but there is no listing for firefox [01:26] prince_jammys: your script runs all over the c drive and creates a folder full of links right? well i was thinking of creating a prg that takes a single link and just follows/executes it. [01:26] Devo what is the size now? [01:26] exst_mhua, judging by the question, you should not be using it until its release. [01:26] amenado: Something around 250 GB. [01:26] Pricey, i see, thanks [01:26] vrkhans: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use [01:26] prince_jammys: then you can have that script execute each time you double click a .lnk file in nautilus and it's like gnome can understand lnk files [01:26] amenado: Probably a little less. [01:26] red22: oh [01:27] vrkhans: that link will tell you that there is a control file..... which needs to be deleted [01:27] vrkhans: and all would be fine [01:27] ok, how do i request the Alternative CD? [01:27] prince_jammys: that'd be neat right? [01:27] red22: i see, associate .lnk files with your prog [01:27] !alternate | Nissan_350Z [01:27] Nissan_350Z: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [01:27] Devo those exist correct? not something you just have added? [01:27] grr [01:27] arbir how i can open it my browser is not working [01:27] Nissan_350Z, you can find them at releases.ubuntu.com [01:27] red22: yeah you could do that [01:27] oh vrkhans :-) sorry.. let me tell you the file [01:27] amenado: What do you mean? [01:28] :-) [01:28] im at the Shipit page [01:28] thanks [01:28] LjL, my system booted up with the 2.6.24 kernel from Hardy. It appears to be doing fine. :) In about 5 minutes I'll let you know if systemimager successfully clones [01:28] when issing airecrack-ng -3 i get this .... open(/dev/rtc) failed: Device or resource busy [01:28] what's up with that? [01:28] Devo they exist prior to you trying to do this install, ie you had an existing xp on /dev/sda2 ? [01:28] prince_jammys: then you can use the same lnk files between windows and linux. and you'd find them in the same place in linux that you left them in windows. [01:28] i cant download it, its too slow [01:28] amenado: Yes. [01:29] vrkhans: if you goto your $HOME/.mozilla/firefox directory [01:29] red22: have you tried doing this already? maybe they already took care of that (which would be funny) [01:29] vrkhans:you will see a weird looking directory name, that is your profile directory [01:29] Devo-> okay now do you have /dev/sda4 as empty space basically? or you are trying to reduce what you have now to give room for linux? [01:29] prince_jammys: but the strings line from your file is the heart of it all.. shouldn't be too hard to switch it. === Sin[DW] is now known as Sindacious [01:29] i would like to make a keybinding for opening a new terminal and then 'screen -r' [01:29] vrkhans: inside that.... is a file named "lock" and .parentlock -- delete both of them [01:29] how? [01:30] prince_jammys: hehe you mean double clicking a lnk file? [01:30] amenado: I am going to create /dev/sda4 from free space for Linux, this is a new partition I am making. [01:30] i have been trying to install a theme and i see this line in the directions... "Install the Beryl and GTK theme as usual" what does this mean ? [01:30] red22: yeah you wouldnt have to change that .. you would just scrap the whole "find" bit, and the prog would have to take the lnk file name as a parameter [01:30] GTK theme is something i am running, is it not ? [01:30] red22: yes, doubleclicking a lnk file [01:31] Devo okay, and you do have enuff free space yes? or you're attempting to take it from the existing ones? [01:31] amenado: I do have enough free space. [01:31] prince_jammys: no it doesn't work.. i tried (more than once ;) [01:31] How can I make Amarok look more like the human theme? [01:31] anyone know how to request a Alternative CD on the Shipit page? that didnt help... my computer is too slow for the LiveCD [01:31] how do i use firefox downloading a file via "open with" and bash script i try: mv $1 /home/k1ng/Desktop/ but no avail.. :( [01:31] prince_jammys: you'd figure that they would have included this as default behavior by now though right [01:31] Devo-> okay, then just create from the remaining free spaces, a / , a swap space and /home partition [01:32] Nissan_350Z-> computers are plenty fast, however dial connection maybe slow.. [01:32] amenado: How do I create a swap... and do I have to make a /home partition and are those 3 seperate partitions? [01:33] red22: yeah, fortunately after parsing the C: line in the link file, after converting \ to / and scrapping the C:, all you have to do is append the result to the mnt point to get the full path [01:33] weird, the firefox ProfileManager issue maybe a *firefox2* issue, not an ubuntu bug [01:33] Devo yes 3 partitions, somewhere in the selection you can tell it to make a swap partition [01:33] amenado> i have the LiveCD but i need the alternative CD the text based installer ;) [01:33] hello [01:33] Hi, how do I update this code to work with Gutsy? [01:33] amenado: Ok. [01:33] mplayer -vo null -ao pcm -ao pcm:file=audio.wav:fast dvd://01 [01:33] amenado: How big should I make the /home partition? [01:34] Nissan_350Z-> while on liveCD and if you have internet connectivity you can download it and save it to hard disk..off course you have to mount the partition before you can store to it [01:34] amenado> when i start the LiveCD to install it locksup [01:34] prince_jammys: i'm just worried about having to handle different file types... what command would send the file name to gnome for opening with the appropriately associated program? [01:34] amenado> i have really slow internet, lol [01:34] how do i use firefox downloading a file via "open with" and bash script i try: mv $1 /home/k1ng/Desktop/ but no avail.. :( [01:34] Devo make / about 7-10gig /swap about 2x your ramsize and /home upwards of several gigs [01:34] let me rephrase: was anyone able to use n+1 firefox2.* profiles simultaneously under *any* OS ? [01:34] i need a boot command to disable somethings so it ill run, know of any? [01:34] arbir i found the firefox directory in /etc , there is a profile directory but in that dir there is no lock and .parentlock file/ [01:35] HI, how do I update this code to wrok in Gutsy? mplayer -vo null -ao pcm -ao pcm:file=audio.wav:fast dvd://01 [01:35] vrkhans: in ur home directory there should be a .mozilla directory [01:35] red22: you can probably do this from the gui (move the final prog somewhere like /usr/local, for example) [01:35] vrkhans: can you confirm that ? [01:35] red22: !defaultapp [01:35] in my home dir there is only the example dir [01:35] Nissan_350Z-> it may just be taking its sweet time to show you things, while booting, you can ctrl +alt+F1 F2 F3 .. to see what is going on, also you have to be patient..liveCD is slow indeed [01:35] no other dir [01:35] !defaultapp | red22 might just do it on its own [01:35] red22 might just do it on its own: 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" [01:36] oh ok, amenado :D thanks a bunch, its running 160MB of ram though [01:36] so i should continue with the LiveCD? [01:36] red22: then when you click on it the shell would run ::: /usr/local/bin/your_prog file.lnk [01:36] arbir in my home dir i have only two dir desktop and examples [01:37] vrkhans: ls -la [01:37] amenado: When I made my / partition from the free space and made it only 10 GB from the 30 GB of free space, it turned the leftover 20 GB into unusable space... [01:37] Nissan_350Z-> how else are you going to download the alternate cd? [01:37] i'm unable to type in a java-based app. anyone know why that might be? i've seen this before, but before i was able to fix it somehow [01:37] red22: and the file name would be $1 in your prog [01:37] LjL: The systemimager worked !!! [01:37] i can click to change the focus, but it ignores my typing [01:37] vrkhans: you will have to open the prompt window [01:37] amenado> i thought they would have a Alternative CD they could send me [01:37] Devo-> you dont like to make a separate one for /home? how about /swap ? dont forget this /swap [01:38] arbir you mean the xterm [01:38] Nissan_350Z-> they probably do, ask them nicely :) [01:38] amenado: I can't make /swap... the free space turned into unusable space... [01:38] i am on that [01:38] what is the name of the bar in ubuntu which has "Application", "Places" , "Systesm" [01:38] etc.. [01:38] LjL: Thanks again for helping out. Now I can clone the system over to the other twelve computers [01:38] nano_, gnome panel? [01:38] vrkhans: any place where you can type in the commans from command line basically a CLI [01:38] how to get to windows share from linux? I am linux newbie [01:38] tanath: so i guess the bottom bar is called the taskbar [01:38] amenado> how do i ask them (and i am soo sorry if i am bugging you i am soo excited about ubuntu) :D [01:38] tanath: thn [01:38] x [01:38] Devo-> these are now logical or extended partitions, are you sure you have plenty of left over spaces? [01:38] arbir i am there what you want me to do [01:39] nano_, menu bar [01:39] vrkhans: cd .mozilla [01:39] sweet [01:39] anyone can help me with questions regarding setting up a LAMP On ubuntu? [01:39] Nissan_350Z-> i thought you have to send an email and such to make a request yesh? [01:39] prince_jammys: yeah like that it would, except that we wouldn't be clicking on it directly... we'd click on a .lnk file that is associated with our script, but then our script needs to actually launch what is being pointed to... [01:39] Anyone know how to change font size of .ass subtitles in mplayer? I tried adding ass-force-style=FontSize=1 in /home/user/.mplayer/config but that didn't change anything. Also how can I reset the brightness/contrast/saturation settings? [01:39] Scunizi, no, that's the "File, Edit, View" etc, in a specific app [01:39] sup [01:39] amenado: I am sure, but it won't let me use 20 GB now... [01:39] nano_, it's the gnome panel [01:40] tanath: thnx , i guess it is [01:40] can anyone tell me how to use aircrack? [01:40] amenado> on the ShipIt page you make requests for PC's and 64Bit computers but no Alternative [01:40] :) [01:40] Devo un-do what you have made and restart the partitioning [01:40] !Alternative [01:40] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [01:40] unfortunately i fiddled around a bit too much with installing stuff for a LAMP server and now i think ive messed it up too much [01:40] amenado: Ok, done. [01:40] nano_, the actual app is 'gnome-panel' [01:40] arbir no such file or dir [01:40] its not just as easy as removing packages because they dont completely remove stuff [01:40] hey guys, do remove vnc connections HAVE to be made via an ssh tunnel or can I forward port 5900 and have the remote user connect like that? [01:40] i am in /home [01:40] nano_, the menu bar is the bar with "file, edit, view' etc. in a given app [01:40] prince_jammys: and in the program just "`$1" would launch the correctly associated program for the file being linked to? [01:40] :) [01:40] red22: right ..... mmm the launching part is what's difficult, unless you know how gnome works [01:40] can anyone tell me how to use aircrack? [01:40] ok people thanks I have enough of a log to read for tonight you guys are alright later all [01:40] tanath: so what is the bar at the bottom [01:40] hi [01:40] vrkhans: goto your home directory [01:40] TopRamen-> no requirements that VNC must use ssh, [01:40] vrkhans: just type in cd [01:41] how to install oracle 11g on ubuntu [01:41] TopRamen: you can, but all text is transmitted in the clear [01:41] vrkhans: you should be in /home/yourusername/ [01:41] nano_, well, that's the gnome panel too. same app, but it's referred to as the task bar [01:41] Hi. My Nautilus keeps on crashing. The temporary solution is that I go to terminal and type: killall nautilus. That fixes it. For a while... [01:41] amenado: ok [01:41] TopRamen-> only if you want it secured [01:41] can anyone tell me how to use aircrack? [01:41] 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? [01:41] Does anyone have any idea how to fix it for good? [01:41] astro76: ok, for some reason what I read made it sound like it HAD to be done via an SSH tunnel [01:41] prince_jammys: i'm sure it's just some specific program to send it to.. whatever that gnome launcher is.. probably nautilus or some component of it.. will look this up, hold on [01:41] If I were to open nautilus with terminal would it output some useful data when it crashes the next time? [01:42] amenado: so, after enabling the feature (don't have any firewall as far as I can tell) and forwarding the port... it should just work? [01:42] QUESTION: how to get to windows share from Linux? I am Linux newbie [01:42] can anyone tell me how to use aircrack? [01:42] emma, probably [01:42] amenado: do I need to install any specific packages? [01:42] ok arbir i foud mozilla [01:42] amenado> if you can find anyboot options that will speed it up, like hopefully disable the LiveCD and get on with installing it or run the LiveCD and speed it up so it will run. Thats why i need a boot option to type in [01:42] red22: the prog produces a full path, but who executes it? that you could do one of two ways: hard-code certain file types (eg launch .txt with gedit, launch .doc with openoffice) or figure out how gnome does it [01:42] vrkhans: then change dir to firefox [01:42] TopRamen-> install the vncviewer ..what about the other end? what you have there? [01:42] dsoffs, google it? check the man page? [01:42] arbir i am in side firefox/and some dir [01:42] vrkhans: you will see a weird looking dir [01:42] tanath, ahah [01:43] amenado: I'm the host... don't I want vnc-server? [01:43] ok there is lock [01:43] in there [01:43] vrkhans: inside that weird named dir, you will find a file called lock and .parentlock [01:43] tanath no that doesn't work afterall. It looks like Nautilus automatically disowns the terminal. [01:43] i found a wireless acesspoing named "keep out" how can i find the WEP key with aircrack? [01:43] vrkhans: delete that file [01:43] vrkhans: delete both those files [01:43] emma, ah, yeah, some apps do that [01:43] Nissan_350Z-> I dont know of anyway to speed it up, its dependent on your cdrom, how fast it can read and how much ram you have to dump what it reads === warcaptai1 is now known as Warcaptain [01:43] emma, you can check the .xsession-errors file [01:43] emma, in ~ [01:43] seeing how long i can go before getting kickd. [01:43] TopRamen yes for the host, you need the vnc server [01:43] TopRamen: do you want to share the screen you're working on, or forward a new session? [01:44] I'm not quite sure what to do. Every time it crashes I guess I can open terminal and type killall nautilus, but it shouldnt have to be like that. [01:44] its a 52X CD-Burner but 160MB of Ram, so im running at minimal RAM to use the live CD [01:44] amenado: Why do I want a /home partition? [01:44] jimcooncat: share the screen I'm working on [01:44] Devo, makes backups/upgrades/clean isntalls easier [01:44] jimcooncat: I just tried connection locally and it worked but the other user is trying to connect and it's failing [01:45] Devo lets just say, if your / get screwed, your data in /home is safe, easily recoverable [01:45] he's connecting from an OS x machine [01:45] i'm unable to type in frostwire. can anyone help? [01:45] amenado: haha, sweet! :) [01:45] arbir i did rm lock and rm .parentlock [01:45] tanath, disable compiz if you are using compiz [01:45] now what should i do [01:45] vrkhans: now startup your firefox [01:45] Dr_willis, i am, but i'd really rather not... :/ [01:45] TopRamen: if you use gnome, you can use System->Preferences->Remote Desktop [01:45] Does mplayer use gstreamer plugins, or something else? [01:45] *codecs [01:45] Dr_willis_, is there a plugin i can disable instead? [01:46] amenado: I got this error again. "File system doesn't have expected sizes for Windows to like it. Cluster size is 2k (1k expected); number of clusters is 20017 (39957 expected); size of FATs is 79 sectors (157 expected)." [01:46] This might be a bit of a weird question... but here we go... I have iTunes running in a virtual machine so that I could use the store (had a gift certificate). I'm burning the songs to a CD, so that I can rip the DRM off of them, but for some reason its either telling me that The CD is not blank(which it is...) or it runs through the checks then does nothing... anyone have any ideas on how I can get the CDs to [01:46] start burning? It recognizes my CD drive, and one CD burnt somehow... [01:46] ok thanks but why it happeing , it never happend like this before [01:46] Anyone know of any boot options to help with the LiveCD? Because it Always freezes. i need to type in a boot option to disable somethings on the liveCD [01:46] tanath, no idea. theres bugs with java and compiz. Check the compiz site. There may be some tweaks ya can do in the ccsm tool. [01:46] emma, did you check your .xsession-errors file? [01:47] Dr_willis_, hm. ok, thanks for the lead [01:47] tanath, assuming it is a java/compiz issue [01:47] I need to find it.. [01:47] TopRamen: vncserver is more useful if another user wants to pop into their own account on your computer [01:47] Devo I'd ignore it for now, somehow when you originally partitioned your hd, they were not in the expected boundaries, so it complained [01:47] Dr_willis_, probably [01:47] I can't get to a web site. Why? [01:47] amenado: Will this mess up my XP partition? It won't break it? [01:47] emma, as i said, in your home dir [01:47] Docfxit: What website? [01:47] Any website. [01:48] Anyone know of any boot options to help with the LiveCD? Because it Always freezes. i need to type in a boot option to disable somethings on the liveCD i am running 160MB of Ram on it. [01:48] jimcooncat: yah I'm running gnome and had set it up via System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop [01:48] emma, ~/.xsession-errors [01:48] Leechzilla, you can make mplayer to use the windows codecs if you like. for all the other formats, it has all the codecs already.

[01:48] jimcooncat: and I can connect from the local network but the other user cannot [01:48] yes. [01:48] Devo it should not, just dont touch your sda1 to sda3, work only on your new unformatted free spaces [01:48] Jack, all of those? [01:48] Docfxit: host av.com [01:48] Nissan_350Z: that is very marginal on ram [01:48] jimcooncat: I mean he cannot connect from a remote network === bmeynellAWAY is now known as bmeynell [01:48] Here we go [01:48] I'm getting a lot of this: [01:48] jimcooncat: let me make sure his remote traffic isn't firwalled [01:48] TopRamen: is the other user going across the internet to you? === tiborio_ is now known as tiborio [01:48] firewalled [01:48] (nautilus:6242): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed [01:48] (nautilus:6242): GdkPixb [01:48] ...Too much output, ignoring rest... [01:48] jimcooncat: yep [01:48] emma, don't paste a lot in here [01:48] ok, Jack i will type all of those in [01:48] emma, use a pastebin [01:49] usr13 » I can ping any IP address on the web. [01:49] That was it. [01:49] jimcooncat: and he's connecting the the same session as me because he wants to show me something [01:49] k [01:49] There's a lot in the log but I only pasted that much. [01:49] kostkon: Does the mplayer that comes with Ubuntu support VC1, or do I need to compile it from source? I'm getting only audio, and no video [01:49] TopRamen: more than likely is firewalled, or you need to forward the port from your router [01:49] that's the last three lines of the log [01:49] thanks sooo very much! you dont know how much i appreciate it! [01:49] Docfxit: Are you just not resolving domain names? [01:49] Docfxit: host av.com [01:49] usr13 » I can't ping a domain name. [01:49] jimcooncat: already forwarded the port on my end [01:49] everything above that is just the same thing repeated [01:49] Nissan_350Z: YOu never use all, usually just one or two.. If you only have 160 megs and are sharing ram with onboard video you need to rethink things. [01:49] usr13 » yes. [01:49] emma, i've seen that before... i don't remember what the issue was or what fixed it though... [01:49] Jack_Sparrow-> were you not missing the ramdisk option? hehehe j/k [01:49] hmm [01:49] has anyone here installed virtualbox? [01:49] Docfxit: Then just add nameserver(s) to /etc/resolv.conf [01:49] I'm trying to customize my desktop and I can't check any box in the compiz configuration manager... Anyone got an advice? [01:49] emma, what version of ubuntu are you running? [01:50] Anyone know what might cuase .deb files not to open when i click on them? [01:50] Gutsy [01:50] emma: You brokeded your computer again already? ;-) [01:50] emma, i think you may need to update [01:50] emma, hmm [01:50] outsane: yes, but not at this location [01:50] Docfxit: Or, hit the dhpc server again; sudo dhclient [01:50] I did :| [01:50] TheZealot: try dpkg -i [deb], see what errors it gives you [01:50] How can I update, I'm running gutsy [01:50] Docfxit: dhcp not dhpc [01:50] flannel: it works fine that way [01:50] kostkon, I don't really know. Since it seems to be a microsoft codec, maybe if you install the w32codecs (windows codecs) it will play fine [01:50] just doesn't work when I click on it [01:50] emma: "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get upgrade" [01:50] Docfxit: sudo /sbin/dhclient eth0 [01:50] outsane: I use it at work all the time [01:50] Nissan_350Z: noapic is one of the more common options that works apci=off is another common one [01:50] jimcooncat: okay, i'm installing the .deb file, but how will i open virtualbox once the deb file is done? i've never used a deb file before. [01:50] oops! [01:50] emma, no, gutsy is the latest release [01:51] Leechzilla, , I don't really know. Since it seems to be a microsoft codec, maybe if you install the w32codecs (windows codecs) it will play fine [01:51] emma, but have you been updating software? [01:51] Docfxit: cat /etc/resolv.conf [01:51] emma, keeping your system up to date? [01:51] !wireless [01:51] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:51] !minimal > Nissan_350Z [01:51] !clone [01:51] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [01:51] Docfxit: see if the nameservers are in /etc/resolv.conf [01:51] it says, 'No run action specified for files of this type (application/x-deb) - you can set a run action by choosing 'Set Run Action' from the file menu' [01:51] jimcooncat: is the defailt port 5900? [01:51] defualt [01:52] outsane: I got mine from the repository. But you can open a command prompt, and try entering virtualbox [01:52] Docfxit: See if you can ping your nameservers [01:52] Leechzilla, do you have the w32codecs package already installed in your system? [01:52] jimcooncat: or is 5900 default for internal connections and 5800 default for external [01:52] emma, actually, i think that's a gtk issue. possibly due to your theme. despite the warning about being critical, that shouldn't be a critical issue. shouldn't be crashing nautilus [01:52] outsane: When I got it from the repository, it set up a menu entry for me [01:52] kostkon: I don't think so. I don't see it in synaptic [01:52] jimcooncat: okay, at the risk of sounding very ignorant, what exactly is the repository? i've heard it a lot but i don't actually know what it is. [01:52] TopRamen: one is for regular vnc, one for java access. I'll check [01:53] k [01:53] emma, have you changed your theme or anything? [01:53] Leechzilla, yes. you have to add the Medibuntu repository to your software sources. Please, go to http://medibuntu.org/ and follow the instructions on how to add it [01:53] !minimal | Nissan_350Z [01:53] !minimal [01:53] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [01:53] outsane same english meaning of repository, where things are stored [01:53] kostkon, okay, will try that. thanks [01:53] !repositories [01:53] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [01:53] jimcooncat: thanks [01:53] outsane, what ubotu said [01:54] emma, i found a command that may help. you can try this in a terminal: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders [01:54] TopRamen: I think its 5900 [01:54] red22: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56572/ [01:54] jimcooncat: are they stored on my computer or online? [01:54] jimcooncat: yah 5900 is correct... did some checking myself [01:54] !Alternate [01:54] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [01:54] err [01:54] jimcooncat: his outbound traffic isn't restricted at all yet he still cannot connect [01:54] jimcooncat: have no idea why [01:54] jimcooncat: my port forwarding rules are setup properly too [01:55] outsane, the repositories are where your computer gets it's updates from off the 'net [01:55] I got this: bash: /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders: Permission denied [01:55] emma, ok, try with sudo then [01:55] emma: prefix that with 'sudo' [01:55] emma, thought you might get that [01:56] TopRamen-> what is his ip address? and how is he attempting to connect to your host? [01:56] TopRamen, sorry, I can't figure that out either [01:56] I did it with sudo and got the same warning. [01:56] emma, if it doesn't seem to work right away, try logging out and back in first. if it still doesn't work, make sure your system is up to date [01:56] amenado: don't know his ip... he's using JollysFastVNC for Mac OS X [01:56] emma, what? that shouldn't be [01:56] jimcooncat: okay, but if i installed the .deb file without using a repository, where can i find it now? [01:56] TopRamen-> what is his exact command to connect to you? [01:57] 7.10 is on the 2.6.22 kernel 8.04 is on the 2.6.24 kernel (IIRC) - how much am I likely to break if I install the 2.6.24 kernel on 7.10? [01:57] prince_jammys: gnome-open is the app :) [01:57] soap: yes. [01:57] red22: hah [01:57] soap you can try and let us know [01:57] outsane, if you install the .deb file, you'd: [01:57] Yeah with sudo first I get the same thing: bash: /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders: Permission denied [01:57] red22: well then you're pretty much set [01:58] outsane: following command from your terminal(Applications—>Accessories— >Termianl) [01:58] outsane: VirtualBox [01:58] ok leats try this again i used apci=off [01:58] is anyone in here familar with beryl? [01:58] jimcooncat: i didn't use the terminal, i have a program that installs them for me. [01:58] I'm not asking about kernel issues - I'm asking about the rest of the system's dependence on one particular kernel. [01:58] outsane: capitalization would be important [01:58] prince_jammys: yup and so are you, or you dont' think you'd find this useful? don't use windows often enough to find this useful? [01:58] I will try logging out and logging back in. [01:58] outsane, no, to start it up after installing [01:59] red22: no, not useful to me other than improve my understanding of scripting (and gnome-open) [01:59] soap you can try to run in on vmware or virtualbox and see the effect with no major impact, you can easily remove the virtual disk [01:59] outsane, mine also installed a menu entry under Applications, but I wouldn't know if yours would have [01:59] prince_jammys: i'll put it all together and try it out in a bit, i gotta go have dinner though. i'll bbl and let you know (if you're still here) if all's working fine. [01:59] is anyone in here familar with beryl? I want to install it but I dont know where to start. I'm a noob [01:59] red22: the difficulty in the script (which i solved with the #bash faq) is handling the spaces in files [02:00] capital86, beryl has been deprecated. it's now compiz fusion [02:00] okay [02:00] red22: ok, gotta get something to eat [02:00] prince_jammys: well i'm glad we both were able to help each other out and learn something. thanks for the help. [02:00] how do I go about that? [02:00] soap: The rest of the system does not have dependency on a particular kernel version. It's just that some kernel modules may be left behind, or need bo be rebuild, but that's not all that likely.

[02:32] mneptok> i have very very slow internet [02:32] arbir, unpack it once, chances are they were repacked to include instructions [02:32] lindzeyn: correct [02:33] Nissan_350Z: ShipIt does not ship alt. CDs. use a torrent. [02:33] How can I set up automounting for usb drives and/or CDs on a cli installed system? [02:33] Nissan_350Z, my solution always works... someone has faster connection [02:33] is there a way to run the LAMP installation script that runs when you install ubuntu-server only on a desktop? [02:33] oh, mneptok [02:33] Pelo: let me give it a go.. i have spent 2 days trying to figure out how to install the themes.

[02:34] it doesnt have internet access the modem is messed up [02:34] oh [02:35] bot, cute [02:35] and we only get 26.4 KBPS for Dial-Up here [02:35] :/ [02:35] hello I cannot connect to the internet... http://pastebin.com/m603c7cc2 [02:35] I have a minor problem: when I suspend my computer manually, it resumes fine. However, if my computer suspends automatically, it resumes, shows the desktop for about 5 seconds, then hibernates. Any thoughts? [02:35] rpj8 don't care what you ask for, do you? it can be done. but you'll have to script "something" to watch hald or the devices them selves. [02:35] You guys may be a bit biased but which is better for server use, ubuntu or debian? are there any major difference? I have no experience of debian, only heard it's "good". [02:35] reikalusikka: ubuntu [02:36] Pelo: this is what i was looking at http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aero-clone?content=57352 and it leads me no where [02:36] ok :) [02:36] Pelo: what to download and what to install ?

[02:38] reikalusikka stability as opposed to features. ubuntu is "latest greatest..." debian is "rock solid..." if you want a desktop you might like ubuntu if you want a server you might prefer debian. [02:39] mneptok, that was for you [02:39] arbir, go back in the theme manager, click the customize button at the bottom go in the control and also the border tab and reselect the vista-aero ones (or wathever ) from those tabs [02:39] and how do i use a Torrent thingy to get the Alt.

[02:47] nschembr i don't reccomend it, unless you really really need it. it's more of a hassel than a help you can so easily just mount additional fs on various dirs like /home /var /tmp /usr /boot [02:47] mattholimeau: np :) [02:47] but that's lame... [02:47] how do you get the system to mount the root "/" ro under unionfs. [02:48] bds: know how i force my script to sudo itself and prompt for a password? [02:48] Pelo: i am trying the OSx theme.. let me see if it works for me or not [02:48] Kalamansi-> assign an ip address to your host, either static or dhcp assigned [02:48] martin_, these days I am rather fond of progecad smart! , it's an autocad clone, for windows but works well on wine, progecad smart is free , but does not support 3d [02:48] arbir, I'm looking for the icons for it right now [02:48] Agent_bob: So I installed all the hal and dbus stuff, followed instructions off archlinux wiki, and still a no go. [02:48] amenado i'm lagging really badly, can you tend to Kalamansi for me please. [02:48] Kalamansi: edit it /etc/network/interfaces [02:48] mattholimeau: if you chown/chgrp the script you will have to give a password [02:48] <_Oz_> Good evening, Ubuntu friends! [02:48] martin_-> umm, blender is not good enuff? [02:49] Pelo: Any recommendations for 3D cad apps? Otherwise I may just dualboot so I can use my older copy of autocad.

[02:49] mattholimeau: sorry, that should be 744 :) [02:49] amenado: any recommendations on where I could look for help? [02:49] martin_, dual boot, or you could also try running your windows install in vmware === _Oz_ is now known as __Oz__ [02:49] bds: yeah, that would just force me to run it with sudo though, right? [02:50] Hi. [02:50] Pelo: yeah that link was not downloading the icons.... [02:50] martin_-> they have books and tutorials, both as html, and video via wink [02:50] nschembr you need to take care of the origenal fs mounting of / before you bind the additional fs's to it. [02:50] isn't that what you want? [02:50] I installed a sound card and now want to blacklist the old integrated one. Could someone help me do this? [02:50] bds: that's great input, and i'll go with that if i need... but is there a way to easily make a script grab root priv's by itself? [02:50] amenado: Thanks I'll take a look. [02:50] martin_-> blendernation.com [02:50] zhanx: how to edit this /etc/network/interfaces .. im not good in scripting typos [02:50] i've worked with voyage linux ro file system. I would like to try ubuntu on eee with a ro root that I can update with apt-get [02:50] k [02:51] martin_, you can also try running the full non free version of progecad, it does support 3d but it cost 500$ , you can dl the trial version for free , it's 30 days [02:51] martii, first 3 sites are good: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&num=30&q=blender+%7Eguide [02:51] What command do I use to check what filesystem is used on a device or mount point?

[02:52] Nissan_350Z: did you install a torrent application? [02:52] bds: well, am thinking it should still be able to be secure by prompting for a password before it grabs the privs [02:52] Kalamansi-> is your p2 in same subnet ? then copy the configs if possible [02:52] thats what i need help with [02:53] Nissan_350Z, you don't install the torrents... you open them with a torrent client, like deluge [02:53] bds: in other words, instead of ever seeing a "permission denied" i want to see a password prompt instead. and then only permission denied on an incorrect password [02:53] Pelo: that downlod link somehow fails [02:53] Nissan_350Z: http://utorrent.com [02:53] ok [02:53] Nissan_350Z: install that [02:53] ok thanks :D [02:53] Nissan_350Z, i'd recommend installing deluge. then you can open the torrents you find on sites in that, to download what you're looking for [02:53] -i The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell specified in the passwd(5) entry of the user that the command is being run as. [02:53] ok :D [02:53] mattholimeau: that is from sudo [02:54] arbir, try this one [02:54] arbir, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac4Lin+Leopard+GTK+Icon+Theme?content=68413 [02:54] Nissan_350Z-> you need to tell em you dont have ubuntu installed yet! [02:54] tanath: except he's in Windows. and Deluge on Windows is not for non-devs. [02:54] Pelo: got it [02:54] amenado it's a p2 windows machine actually [02:54] FUDGE! [02:54] mneptok, oh [02:54] yeah, that's just an "su - " [02:54] bds: that will run a script as i log in... not log in as i run a script. [02:54] yeah im using it to install the text based installation of Ubuntu [02:55] mneptok, he's looking to download the iso? [02:55] tanath: -alternate, yeah [02:55] Kalamansi what ip does it have? what ip you assigned to your host? [02:55] Nissan_350Z: If you're on Windows, utorrent is the best [02:55] yeh [02:55] im on Win XP [02:55] amenado: 192.168.1.1 is the router [02:55] bds: but an interesting thought nonetheless [02:55] you sure Deluge isnt? [02:55] Nissan_350Z, go with utorrent then [02:55] ok :D [02:55] nschembr is it a private message yes. please don't without invitation. [02:55] Deluge is good, but never tried it on Windows [02:55] Kalamansi what ip does it have? what ip you assigned to your host? [02:56] mattholimeau: I don't know what the option is, but if you the time and patience you can put some logic in your script [02:56] mattholimeau: that prompts for a passord [02:56] you guys dont know how much i appreciate this :D [02:56] Nissan_350Z: my PayPal address is ... [02:57] huh? [02:57] lol [02:57] mattholimeau: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide" [02:57] Nissan_350Z, he's implying he'll take donations ;p [02:57] oh ok XD [02:57] * mneptok cringes at the bash pimping [02:57] is it normal for screen to take up 10MB using the default settings? [02:57] agent_bob, can I mount the unionfs in fstab or do i need to remake the initrd.img [02:57] amenado: umm the router is 192.168.1.1 .. pc2 is 192.168.1.3 [02:57] hey guys I have a question about compiz fusion [02:57] Pelo: awesome [02:57] how do i download this? [02:57] uTorrent? [02:57] eshaase: forget everything Windows taught you about memory management.

Help File [02:58] Pelo: there are still a few issues [02:58] can anyone help me out with compiz fusion? [02:58] arbir, and it took less then 2 min , if you exclud the time I spent looking for the links [02:58] mneptok: i meant 10MB being alot [02:58] arbir, like what ? [02:58] Pelo: when i move my curose over the time and date, it disappears [02:58] Nissan_350Z, right... 'get utorrent' is what you want to do, right? :P [02:58] nschembr you can mount it in fstab and that is the best way imo [02:58] Kalamansi must? does it have that address assigned yet? also what is the route -n results ? [02:58] wow thats an awfully small file [02:58] this is friggen annoying [02:58] arbir, I don't think that is theme related [02:59] i have ubuntu running over a virtualized image [02:59] !ask | capital86 [02:59] capital86: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:59] when i reboot and go into recovery .. i can type in my root password and get in just fine [02:59] eshaase: forget everything Windows taught you about memory management. [02:59] okay [02:59] but when im in gnome.. and i open a terminal type sudo -i [02:59] sorry [02:59] the root password is always wrong [02:59] !wireless [02:59] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:59] what is going on here [02:59] i think so, ask mneptok [02:59] Pelo: this theme is really super...... somehow.... can i make it look like as shown in that page? [02:59] elux, sudo wants the USERS password. not the root users password [02:59] mneptok: i'm not sure what you mean, i'm not really a big windows user [02:59] nschembr there is a pretty good guide on the net, i don't recall the address but i think it was on http://linuxquestions.org maybe. [02:59] how the hell does that make sense? [02:59] Pelo: the tool tip.. shows beside each window in the taskbar [02:59] elux, su would want the root users password [02:59] arbir, what else is there on the page ? I don't have the link anymore [02:59] Hey guys, I am installing 7.10 from the live cd on this nforce MB. the installer fails right when it runs grub-install, running this manualy as "sudo grub-install --file-directory=/target /dev/sda gives me "grub-install: the file /target/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly" any ideas? [02:59] SATA [02:59] eshaase: why do you think 10MB is a lot? [03:00] amenado : here is route -n and ifconfig -a http://pastebin.com/m603c7cc2 [03:00] elux what is virtualized image? [03:00] why would sudo want the USERS password? how is that secure [03:00] elux, 'cause you are the user asking for root priveledges [03:00] arbir, I don't know that part, sorry , try looking around in gconf-editor [03:00] eshaase: what else is running? what state is the memory in? how much swap is used? how much free RAM do you have? [03:00] distupgrades are scary, is there a simple-ish way to keep fairly recent apps in ubuntu without a distupgrade? [03:00] mneptok: because 10MB is a lot =) [03:00] elux, thats how sudo works.. if you dont understand why - read up on sudo [03:00] Pelo: thanks a ton for this..... this is really super [03:00] well that sucks [03:00] for instance, let's say I want vlc 9 when it comes out soon [03:00] eshaase: no, it's not [03:00] elux, what privs you have are configurable by root with sudoers [03:00] capital86, sorry.. I had to eat.. did you load up what I was talking about in synaptic? [03:00] elux, no it dosent. sudo is designed to do a lot of different things. [03:00] !sudo > elux [03:00] eshaase: on a machine with 8GB of memeory and only screen running, 10MB is NOT a lot [03:00] Kalamansi back to step 1 for you, no ip address assigned yet to eth0 [03:00] will it be easy to upgrade vlc to 0.9 in the repos? [03:00] elux, you could just give root and the user the same password. [03:00] elux: not every user has sudo privs, [03:00] mneptok: well i guess its a matter of perspective [03:01] mneptok, now what do i do? [03:01] its installed === alanhaggai` is now known as I [03:01] mneptok: i only have 256M [03:01] Pelo: the apple icon and the smiley are not visible [03:01] Can anyone help me enable thumbnail previews for my files in Ubuntu 7.10? [03:01] Pelo: are these things to be done manually ? [03:01] eshaase: so let Linux manage it and stop worrying ;) [03:01] Nissan_350Z: install uTorrent [03:01] it is :D [03:01] its all installed on here now what do i do? [03:01] mneptok: well i'd like to not hit the max so i'm wondering why it takes so much memory and if theres anything i can do to reduce it [03:01] Can anyone help me enable thumbnail previews for my files in Ubuntu 7.10? [03:02] Nissan_350Z: http://ftp.science.nus.edu.sg/linux/ubuntu-ISO/7.10/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent <--- download that and open it with uTorrent [03:02] eshaase: stop. worrying. about. it. [03:02] Cosmo, in nautilus (file manager), go to Edit > Prefs > Preview tab === I is now known as alanhaggai [03:02] then what? [03:02] eshaase: i can't say this enough. Linux will do a better job managing your free memory than you will. stop worrying. [03:02] Nissan_350Z, go to ubuntu.com and download the alternate disc. that's what you're trying to do, right? [03:03] ok its opening [03:03] yep [03:03] @tanath: i have done all of that and set everything to always but i still dont get thumbnails just blank white files [03:03] elux the default setup of sudo is "in my openion" less secure than a good root password, BUT, if configured properly sudo is a very useful tool, and a box can be tightened far beyond the "normal" security levels... [03:03] Nissan_350Z, you should be able to choose open at the prompt [03:03] arbir, not sure, some things are part of the theme some are not , I don't think tooltip positions are part of basic theming [03:03] mneptok: well i meant in terms of settings, like maybe reducing the number of lines stored in the buffer or something [03:03] Nissan_350Z: that torrent download can be stopped and started as much as you need [03:03] now what does this do, mneptok? [03:03] Cosmo, hrm, not sure. i think it did it by default for me [03:03] Nissan_350Z: downloads the alternate CD image [03:04] Pelo: the apple icon instead of the Human one.. is not there... and the launch panel is still on the top.... [03:04] Pelo: do i have to manually move these around ? [03:04] arbir: Apple icon = instant lawsuit [03:04] Nissan_350Z, you burn that as an 'image' to a CD, which you can then install from [03:04] ok [03:04] Nissan_350Z, an image in this sense is a byte-for-byte copy [03:04] mneptok: instant lawsuit if USA, else.. who cares [03:04] * mneptok growls at a (still) broken Hardy [03:04] how long will it take? [03:04] do you think? [03:04] Nissan_350Z, burning? 5-10 mins [03:05] arbir: i'll bet you'd get sued in Germany and lose [03:05] Nissan_350Z, your download ETA should say in utorrent [03:05] mneptok: how about china ? or vietname ? [03:05] no, downloading [03:05] @tanath: i had it too and then i lost it [03:05] its a 26.4 KBPS internet speed here [03:05] Pelo: can i get icon zooming like in the OSx ? [03:05] Cosmo, maybe wrong permissions on your thumnail cache dir? [03:05] @tanath: you can preview pictures before opening them? [03:05] @tanath [03:05] arbir, you can just drag the pannel to where you want it , changing the icon for the menu is something you do in gconf-editor, in apps > gnome-panel or panel > somewhere [03:05] @tanath:maybe [03:05] arbir: most probably, yes [03:06] Cosmo, shows the thumbnail... [03:06] arbir get all your warez at 127.0.0.1 [03:06] for an icon [03:06] @tanath: yes like it is not the same thumbnail for every file correct? [03:06] arbir: but seeing that you're not in China or Vietnam, it's a moot point. [03:06] arbir, you do understand that yuou are not in osx right ? you're in linux, not everyting is available , but it is not impossible that someone made a script to do that , might also be availalbe in compiz as a pluggin [03:06] Cosmo, well, for me it shows the image instead of that [03:07] ok guys i guess i will go, its downloading, so, maybe it will work :D, thanks so so sooo much for all of your guys' help, its really appreciated [03:07] @tanath: how do i repair the permissions or what you said [03:07] hmm, any way i can get sound juicer to rip to MP3? === blithe_ is now known as blithe [03:07] Cosmo, one sec.. gotta find the folder [03:07] MidnighToker: sudo apt-get install lame ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:07] Pelo kde has icon zooming doesn't it ? [03:07] Agent_bob, I wouldn'T know [03:08] What would cause "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" to execute without errors, but not bring the interface down? [03:08] arbir, sorry but I am off, I have to get up in the morning , best of luck [03:08] g'night folks [03:08] Pelo: thanks a lot [03:08] MidnighToker: in the sound-juicer help, under preferences (at the very end) there's some info on setting up soundjuicer to rip to mp3 [03:08] rilo its purpose is to bring the interface down [03:09] nickrud: ty [03:09] amenado: I know, but I can enter it right now, and stay connected to IRC via eth0 without getting any error message [03:09] Okay, I've looked all over the Ubuntu Wiki but still can't get this stupid laptop wireless working. iwconfig shows the proper card, but I can't get any connection [03:09] MidnighToker: mneptok's suggested install will make it simpler [03:09] rilo as root? [03:09] rilo rootkit bug warpper script kernel bug ??? [03:09] rilo: what does ifcofig say you have for interfaces [03:10] *ifconfig [03:10] amenado: the problem is it's not bringing the interface down... I'm sudoing [03:10] nickrud: i believe i already did that, i think i just need to set it up now. -annoyingly the machine isn't here, and isn't connected to the internet at its home [03:10] mneptok: : eth0, l0, vmnet1, vmnet8 [03:10] Cosmo, ah, did you remove gstreamer? [03:10] rilo: VMWare? [03:10] i might have [03:10] mneptok: yea, but I'm not using it right now [03:10] rilo oh and sudo error to test that one do sudo echo boo if it says boo it's not sudo [03:10] what is the name of the quick launch applet on the taskbar ? [03:10] @tanath: how do i reinstall it? [03:11] Cosmo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318459 [03:11] Agent_bob, It looks like I'm going to have to mount / on tmpfs and then mount each directory with the bind command to make unionfs work on the / [03:11] rilo: you mean VMWare is installed on Ubuntu, but not running? [03:11] Cosmo, you can install/reinstall/uninstall apps with synaptic [03:11] rilo [03:11] Creationist: you using wep or wpa? [03:11] rilo: or Ubuntu is running in VMWare under another host, but not at the moment? [03:11] Cosmo, or with the add/remove thing [03:11] @tanath: you think thats the problem? [03:11] Cosmo, pretty sure you need gstreamer [03:11] Cosmo, so make sure you have it [03:11] I have a weird problem with my top panel, I have a picture as the background, but when I make a new panel, or have an application on the panel, theres a pin striping on it, heres a picture: http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/7113/screenshotpw5.png How can I get rid of the pinstriping? [03:12] rilo so when you do sudo ifconfig eth0 down you get an error? [03:12] Is there anyway to get Itunes in Ubuntu? [03:12] mneptok: I installed VMWare to work on something a number of months ago [03:12] zhanx: Not sure... with Windows, it just finds the network and connects (this is my neighbors laptop/connection) [03:12] prettyricky: no [03:12] Agent_bob: hm, it does say boo [03:12] cool thanks, what is everyone using for mp3's? [03:12] rilo so when you do sudo ifconfig eth0 down you get an error? [03:12] rilo: try "sudo invoke-rc.d networking stop" [03:12] zhanx: I'm thinking his network isn't secured at all (something I'll talk to him about once I get this working) [03:13] amenado: nope, no error. it looks fine [03:13] <__Oz__> Creationist: yeah... Ubuntu's two biggest weaknesses are 1) wireless driver support and 2) video codec support... neither are the fault of linux/ubuntu but they are big weaknesses. [03:13] rilo oh and sudo error to test that one do sudo echo boo if it says boo it's not sudo [03:13] mneptok: still here [03:13] Creationist: whats it calling the interface [03:13] zhanx: eth1 [03:13] ah i thougt i would never say this !!!! it is good to be back home with linux [03:13] rilo can you then paste what you get when you do type that sudo ifconfig eth0 down ? youmentioned about an error, kind of confusing what you are saying [03:14] * Agent_bob is beginning to suspect sudo on rilo's box [03:14] rilo: could be VMware modules holding the service open. *shrug* [03:14] Also can I just connect my Ipod to Ubuntu without suffering any damage? [03:14] <__Oz__> Agent_bob: I'm with you. [03:14] amicrawler, lol... why's that? [03:14] amenado: no error is given at all, it just gives me the prompt [03:14] Creationist: iwconfig give you that [03:14] mac os x suck bigtime [03:14] or ifconfig [03:14] My nautilus sporadically keeps on crashing. It seems possible that it has something to do with playing music off of my external hard drive? Not sure. Is there any way to narrow down the cause? [03:14] and so does windows [03:14] rilo what prompt? [03:14] amenado he said "no error" [03:14] amicrawler, what's wrong with osx? [03:15] i don;t like sco [03:15] zhanx: Right. THere is "lo", "eth0" too... neither of those have wireless extentions. [03:15] amenado: my shell prompt [03:15] its bsd not freebsd [03:15] good night, anybody can help me? [03:15] sco != osx [03:15] I have a weird problem with my top panel, I have a picture as the background, but when I make a new panel, or have an application on the panel, theres a pin striping on it, heres a picture: http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/7113/screenshotpw5.png How can I get rid of the pinstriping? [03:15] amicrawler: uh ... [03:15] amicrawler: BSD has nothing to with SCO [03:15] mac was great back on os 9 [03:15] amicrawler, nobody likes sco... but they're dead, lol [03:15] list [03:16] amicrawler: SCO has IP cliams on SysV, not BSD. [03:16] rilo would you care to test sudo for us. sudo echo boo [03:16] j_humphrey, i think it's something to do with the gnome theme you use [03:16] amicrawler, i believe they're filing for bankruptcy, IIRC [03:16] Agent_bob: why wouldn't sudo be able to use echo... I did say it returned "boo" [03:16] Creationist: so sudo iwconfig eth1 essid -network name- does ? [03:16] Also can I just connect my Ipod to Ubuntu without suffering any damage? [03:16] bsd i just don;t like how os x is ran [03:16] hi [03:16] <__Oz__> prettyricky: unknown [03:16] kostkon, I have emerald to a custom theme, and the appearance to a custom theme as well [03:16] the termanal is broken [03:16] @tanath: i have most of the gstreamer packages installed according to synaptics [03:17] prettyricky, damage? [03:17] should it be possible to seek in an asf file (streamed), with vlc, totem or mplayer? [03:17] amicrawler: anyhow, you should be discussing this in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:17] zhanx: I don't know the name of his network. Like I said, Windows just listed local networks... I can't even get that. [03:17] any rock on ubuntu [03:17] ok [03:17] Yeah I dont want to connect my Ipod then lose all my data :n(\ [03:17] Cosmo, just a nitpick, but it's synaptic, not synaptics. synaptics is an app for laptops ;) [03:17] <__Oz__> prettyricky: I'd avoid it. [03:17] j_humphrey, try changing it to a different one, the gtk theme I mean, just to see if the panel back will appear ok [03:17] were we know what are bugs are and are not afraid of them [03:18] <__Oz__> I ain't afraid of no gho-- er, bug. [03:18] hi, how do i install php5? with apt-get? [03:18] Ok, ty [03:18] amicrawler: please, move to #ubuntu-offtopic for such talk. (strike two) [03:18] <__Oz__> prettyricky: yw [03:18] rilo sorry i didn't see your first post of "it returns boo". ok. that rules out it being sudo. you did ifconfig just to see that the eth0 is still up ? [03:18] Agent_bob thank you for your time [03:18] emma, that could be it, but i'm not sure what to do about it at the moment. you could try copying some music off it, and playing off the installed hard drive and see if it still does it [03:18] prettyricky: I've been able to use all my different mp3 players without too much trouble. [03:18] @tanath: yeah i soon realized that...my touch pad is synaptics :P [03:19] <__Oz__> Creationist: INCLUDING an ipod? [03:19] the lirc does that work right off the bat? [03:19] Agent_bob: yea... I brought down the two vmware interfaces and that worked fine... eth0 still hanging on strong though [03:19] i have a mac mini running 7.10 [03:19] Tanath, yeah I think I will move the music to the internal hard drive, and disconnect the external for a while and see if it still happens. [03:19] @tanath:any other ideas? [03:19] __Oz__: Well, the iPod Shuffle IS still technically an iPod ;) [03:19] anyone know of a good gamedev channel? [03:19] Cosmo, did you check out that thread? [03:19] (the scientific method for the win) [03:19] can i pm someone 'bout runnin' ubuntu on my lap'? [03:19] __Oz__: I certainly wouldn't even bother with a newer iPod [03:19] nschembr welcome, and sorry i'm lagging so badly right now. i have about 7 more hours of full bandwidth usage to go. [03:20] emma, yeah, if it doesn't, then you've narrowed down the problem. if it does... then i guess you should come back here and find some more help [03:20] Creationist----> did you just plug and played your Ipod? [03:20] emma, you can also try the ubuntu forums [03:20] Okay tanath. [03:20] @tanath: Yes [03:20] prettyricky: you need to use iTunes to put the iPod into "Disk Mode" [03:20] I dont want to plug it and like I said earlier lose all my data........ [03:20] prettyricky: If I remember correctly, yes. The only player I've had trouble with was my Sansa. [03:20] <__Oz__> Creationist: now you're talking. [03:20] I've been looking through Ubuntu Forums quite a bit I don't find anything very clearly related. [03:20] prettyricky: and if it was formatted on a Mac, you'll want to reformat it [03:20] emma, did you try posting about your problem? [03:21] prettyricky: Been using my ipod with ubuntu for a couple of years now, never had any corruption issues and that's been with lots of gtkpod use [03:21] mneptok: Have you tried RockBox? Not sure how it works with "disk mode" and such, but it's a new firmware for iPods... worked great on my Sansa [03:21] Oh no dont want to reformat cause then I will wipe everything [03:21] No I haven't posted the problem. [03:21] Creationist: i've used it for months on an e280. [03:21] hi, how do i install php5? with apt-get?? [03:21] whats gtkpod? sorry newbie [03:21] prettyricky: Well, before you try anything, you should ALWAYS make a backup of whatever data is on your iPod. [03:21] emma, well, that's what i meant. you can try that if you still have problems [03:21] !lamp > BIOSboiler (read the private message from ubotu) [03:21] if not, you might want to file a bug report [03:21] tanath, we're i can find some help in ubuntu? [03:21] prettyricky: gtkpod is an app to transfer music to an ipod [03:21] Creationist---> that is very true thank you!' [03:22] mneptok: Ah. I had the e260, I believe (4gb) [03:22] can I get that of the apt-get [03:22] willy-br, usually here, or on the ubuntu forums. or by filing a bug report if you have a bug [03:22] tanath, i mean, live help [03:22] @tanath: if it helps, sometimes when i view pics, then the thumbnails show up [03:22] Does anyone here have any idea how to get Anjuta working? I can get it to compile my code, but it won't enable the "build" option [03:22] willy-br, well, that would generally be here [03:22] zhanx: No more ideas for me, eh? [03:22] I suppose I should try that if need be. [03:22] Hey, I'm haveing a bunch trouble installing ubuntu [03:22] i have a qestion about sound card [03:22] prettyricky: yessir [03:22] tanath, you don't respond your private? [03:22] willy-br: Most people here won't. [03:23] Cosmo, ah, yeah i think my system used to do that originally... but some time ago it started doing it automatically for all of them [03:23] Which sounds kind of retarded becuase it should be easy right? [03:23] willy-br, you need to be registered to PM [03:23] Creationist: sorry in the bathroo,m [03:23] hey guys [03:23] rilo check the process table to see what might be running interfearance there ? i'm like you. that's a new can of verms, very interested in what is causing it... [03:23] trusatoRi----> Thanks a bunch.. so do I just sudo apt-get gtkpod? [03:23] CaptainMurphy: It's easy for MOST computers... on others it's absolute hell ;) [03:23] does anyone here run the ubuntu applicance on vmware fusion? i installed vmware tools but i cannot get my network to work.. it works just fine on windows.. ive tried everything [03:23] zhanx: Well, that's not allowed :P [03:23] rilo try sudo ip link set eth0 down [03:23] prettyricky: exactly [03:23] creationist, its a total mess to describe my problem here and get the adequate response [03:23] Creationist: by chance you got aircrack-ng installed cause you could use airodump to get the essid [03:23] prettyricky: actually, sudo apt-get install gtkpod [03:24] oops thanks lol [03:24] ;] [03:24] zhanx: Not unless it's installed by default.... the lappy has no internet to install anything with ;) [03:24] hmm.. i'm trying to launch a script everytime something connects via bluetooth. any one know if this is possible? [03:24] where do i black list a device ? [03:24] I'm doing a dual boot ubuntu/xp. I'v already loaded xp, and I want to have ubuntu partion itself 35gigs, with a 4 gig swap and the rest of my harddrive (like 160 gigs) into fat32 so that both xp and ubuntu can get at it. [03:24] Creationist: thinkabout, what is his router and the defualt essid name? linksys? [03:25] don't most of the jukebox programs come with ipod integration too? i know amarok, exaile and rhythmbox do [03:25] @tanath: I'm desperate please help :[ [03:25] CaptainMurphy, you can use ntfs in linux too [03:25] will give it a try! [03:25] zhanx: Well, crap... I don't know any of that. I suppose I could just boot into Windows and take a look... [03:25] CaptainMorgan: Sounds easy enough [03:25] Cosmo, desperate for thumbnail icons? doesn't seem all that important to me, lol.. [03:25] Does anyone here have any idea how to get Anjuta working? I can get it to compile my code, but it won't enable the "build" option [03:25] zhanx: I seem to remember the network being something like "SoftTouch" [03:25] however every time I try to do that i get this message "the attempt to mouth at file system with type vfat in scsi1 (0,0,0), partition #6 (sda) at /share failed [03:25] Creationist no eth card/port ? [03:25] Creationist: really need the essid to connect to a wireless u know [03:25] Cosmo, alright, lemme check for something [03:25] Agent_bob: Built-in [03:26] rilo that did it right? [03:26] sure does trusatoRi [03:26] I don't understand why it won't format the rest of my harddrive [03:26] i have installed ubuntu 7.10 in my notebook, but the firefox navegator have a problem, in scream make dark [03:26] zhanx: Well, I can't even get a list of networks.... [03:26] Creationist crossover cable is handy [03:26] This is during installation of Ubuntu? [03:26] Creationist: what kind of card do you have again? [03:26] Cosmo, run gconf-editor [03:26] Creationist: in windows? then it might be managed by differentt software [03:27] Agent_bob-> that eth0 must me killed, he is not responding. [03:27] Cosmo, go to 'desktop > gnome > thumbnailers' [03:27] edwin: He has a Broadcom BCM4318 AirForce One 54g [03:27] Cosmo, make sure you don't have 'disable_all' checked [03:27] Creationist: oh god... i'll sit this one out :-\ [03:27] Can anyone help me understand why ubuntu refuses to format the rest of my harddrive in fat32? [03:27] <[chr0n0s]> how can i assign ATL+F5 to some program ? [03:27] edwin: lol yeah, that's what I've read [03:27] @tanath: Where is that option? [03:27] amenado ping him ? [03:27] CaptainMorgan: What are you using to format? [03:27] hello [03:28] CaptainMurphy, why fat32? [03:28] I finally have my ubuntu machine working again! [03:28] Cosmo, click 'thumbnailers' on the left [03:28] Agent_bob-> nah.. [03:28] trusatoRi, please, use the correct handle :) [03:28] [chr0n0s], set it to your system>preferences>keyboard shortcut [03:28] I'm doing a dual boot [03:28] Cosmo, it should show on the right [03:28] IdleOne: I don't think he cares to learn how to fish ;) [03:28] CaptainMurphy: well, you could always try setting up your partitions manually then run the installer [03:28] hey all, anyone up for helping me install a new laser printer? [03:28] trusatoRi-----> when I plug my Ipod will it show up automatically or where do I go to use it? [03:28] CaptainMorgan: hahaha [03:28] gparted i think [03:28] danbhfive: hola! [03:28] CaptainMurphy, ubuntu works great with NTFS [03:28] 35 gigs is xp, 35 is ubuntu, 4 gig swap, rest fat32 [03:28] Creationist: your in luck https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_%5BAirForce_One_54g%5D [03:28] CaptainMurphy: And what app are you using to format this with? [03:29] <[chr0n0s]> GunbladeIV, i want open firefox with ATL+F5, and firefox is not there in that list [03:29] CaptainMurphy: The installer? [03:29] hi.... [03:29] I'm using the installed [03:29] IdleOne: isn't ntfs preferred over fat anyways? [03:29] on the ubuntu cd [03:29] edwin, yes [03:29] zhanx: Right, I saw that page too.... however, no internet connection [03:29] He's trying to have a shared part for both xp and linux [03:29] so I just upgraded to 7.10, and the visual effects have been such a huge improvement, I was wondering if there were more effects that I was not aware of...? [03:29] CaptainMurphy ummm mtools installed ? [03:29] edwin, in windows it is at least [03:29] anyone knows why i can't delete some files on my hard drive runnin ubuntu live cd? [03:29] trusatoRi, ntfs-3g [03:29] Frijolie: hi [03:29] Creationist: umm grab your lan cable [03:29] mtools? [03:29] Hmm... I suppose I could break my connection to this system and move it there. [03:29] lol [03:29] zhanx: Yeah, I figured that too. [03:29] IdleOne: i thought that was implied, :-P obviously there are better fs's [03:30] i need help please, i have installed postfix, and dovecot imap server, they both work, now i am trying to get squireelmail to work has anyone ever gotten squirrelmail to work in here if so please i just have one question [03:30] CaptainMurphy but i have one question for you. why not let windows format it's own crap ? [03:30] CaptainMurphy: You may want to try to partition first using something like the gparted livecd, if you wanna go the fat32 route, or you can format it ntfs and use ntfs-3g, as tanath said, or use ext3 and use the windows driver, either will get what you want done [03:30] whoever was asking about visual effects, you'l have to download cssb from synaptic [03:30] danbhfive: you good at getting printers installed? [03:30] anyone here got an ATI HD 2400 pro card working with ubuntu and compiz? [03:30] Creationist: your getting paid at least a 12 pack for this right [03:30] nemik: I have an HD 3850 [03:30] edwin, ccsm [03:30] trusatoRi-----> when I plug my Ipod will it show up automatically or where do I go to use it? [03:30] zhanx: Actually, this is pro-bono. [03:30] @tanath: Nope thats fine. Another thing is like if i have a .pdf or a .txt it shows the same blank icon for both..thats why i am desperate becuase it gets confusing [03:30] ccsm* [03:31] <__Oz__> nemik: Compiz really dislikes ATI cards. [03:31] prettyricky: It should show up on the desktop [03:31] oh, Scunizi caught it already, thanks [03:31] danbhfive: i can't seem to get my new wireless laser printer intsalled / working properly [03:31] __Oz__:i know. that's why i'm asking [03:31] Cosmo, well you can have a column showing the file type, but i see your problem. i'm still looking [03:31] zhanx: He gave me his Windows notebook to stop the porn from popping up every time he turns it on. So I fixed that issue and installed Ubuntu on the side ;). Can't really charge for a service he didn't ask for. [03:31] trusatoRi: is it working with compiz? [03:31] Agent_bob, I already formated one partion in xp, I'm trying to let ubuntu do the rest of the work becuase this was recomended as the easyest way [03:31] i need help please, i have installed postfix, and dovecot imap server, they both work, now i am trying to get squireelmail to work has anyone ever gotten squirrelmail to work in here if so please i just have one question [03:31] Hey, could anyone explain to me, or show me a website that explains, how ubuntu handles USB devices? [03:31] <[chr0n0s]> __Oz__, with new drivers, they seem to be fine [03:31] Creationist: your evil [03:31] Creationist dutch treet eeh... [03:31] zhanx: He's one of those people that delights in shelling out subscription fees to SYmantec and such to stay "protected" [03:31] quick question [03:31] nemik: yessir, well enough, used envy for drivers, and that was about all the config it needed [03:32] sooo... that worked lol. I just kept executing "sudo ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0" over and over again until it actually went down [03:32] I've been having trouble finding some devices and I think the problem is that I just don't know how USB devices are handled. [03:32] i found a wireless acesspoing named "keep out" how can i find the WEP key with aircrack? [03:32] symantec = satan..no thanks [03:32] my window title bars are red and wont change when I open the appearance manager what do I do? [03:32] <__Oz__> chr0n0s: which new drivers? [03:32] CaptainMorgan-> dont let it use the default "use all" partitions , try to manually pick and choose [03:32] edwin: Yeah... hence the reason I removed it from his Windows install. :P [03:32] <[chr0n0s]> Acoustyk, install emerald [03:32] Creationist: lmao [03:32] trusatoRi: cool, thanks. hopefully 2400 pro is not much different [03:32] I've been doing it in the manual part [03:33] edwin: Upon doing so, though, it notified me that uninstalling may cause him to lose his remaining 303 days of subscription. What the crap kind of business is that?? [03:33] Cosmo, check /apps/nautilus/preferences > thumbnail_limit [03:33] Creationist i like to ask that type "protected from what?" [03:33] What if it doenst... where can I look for it? [03:33] Cosmo, in gconf-editor [03:33] Creationist: doing your part to save the world from spam one pc at a time [03:33] prettyricky: We can try to figure that out if it happens ;] [03:33] Agent_bob: Well, protected from the porn spyware that he asked me to take care of for him, apparently ;) [03:33] rilo nfs shares ? [03:33] Well lol it just did???? [03:34] Creationist: thats crap, what if he just wanted to move the software to a different machine (i mean, i'm sure that loading it on dual machines is forbidden, similar to the windows liscence)? [03:34] Agent_bob: nope [03:34] Is it set to be used as a disk drive using itunes in windows? [03:34] check the packages and it gtkpod was installed [03:34] Creationist: +1 for open source [03:34] edwin: Yeah, I was appalled to read that when uninstalling. [03:34] Is it possible to go in later and format the free space on my HD after I've installed all this [03:34] <__Oz__> I have that sort of thing, Creationist. [03:34] edwin: But I hit continue anyway ;) [03:34] like will it mount ...etc... even if I don't tell it a mount point right now? [03:34] Creationist: ha [03:34] Creationist yes like i said -- i like to ask that type "protected from what?" after about the third time they start to get the idea. [03:34] CaptainMurphy: Sure, but I'd suggest the use of the gparted livecd to do whatever partitioning you want, and then select them manually in the installer [03:35] do I need to ctl-alt backspace? [03:35] (doing the partitioning first) [03:35] whats the gparted livecd [03:35] http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [03:35] do I get that offline? [03:35] Like a free partition magic [03:35] trusatoRi: isn't gparted on the ubuntu livecd anyways? [03:35] @tanath:It is set to 10.5 million [03:35] prettyricky: probably not, but make sure it's set to use as a disk drive on your windows comp, in itunes [03:35] how can i change the default shell for a user? [03:35] Well, I figured he's the kinda guy that uses his laptop for pictures, surfing, email... the basics. Why not try giving him a stress free OS? Of course, this means tons of stress for me. [03:35] <[chr0n0s]> Norton is the most spread virus, you don't need a virus to hog down your pc, norton will do it for you and will make you pay subscription fee to do it too! [03:35] i'm trying to build ubuntu, and hit a snag, does anyone have any ideas? [03:35] oh ok thanks! [03:35] hi [03:35] i'm looking to change it to a shell that's non-existent so as to disable ssh access [03:36] edwin: yeah, but I've had better luck for some reason with the seperate one, besides the fact it's far less bloated and quicker to boot :P [03:36] rilo hmmm samba ? i'm trying to think of anything that might possably hi-jack a network interface... [03:36] Creationist: are you really a creationist or are you just trolling? :) === bobby is now known as epssy [03:36] zozobra: system > preferences >preferred apps i believe [03:36] chrisb_, pull gently on the line with increasing pressure until it either comes loose or snaps the line. [03:36] zozobra: sudo usermod -s /path/to/shell user [03:36] Agent_bob: nope! hardly anything on here [03:36] rilo: Well, I'm no troll.... so I'll go with the former ;) [03:36] Cosmo, uh, wow [03:36] trusatoRi: touche [03:36] i found a wireless acesspoing named "keep out" how can i find the WEP key with aircrack?

[03:37] @Scunizi specifically, when i build the menu config (make menuconfig) it crashes [03:37] MUAHAHAHAHHA [03:37] rilo i'll second the band wagon, i'm no troll either. [03:37] dsoffs: Go read The Complete and Utterly Inept Criminal's Guide to Stupid Fanboy Hobbies. [03:37] acutally i've hacked many WEP and WPA accesspoints. [03:37] chrisb_, are you building from source? [03:37] just wondering how you guys reply. [03:37] like that [03:37] Creationist: LMFAO [03:38] Agent_bob: so does that mean you're really an agent? :) [03:38] @Scunizi yes i am, i'm building it the "Old fashion debian way" [03:38] dsoffs, what if someone needs 'help' doing something to your system? ;p [03:38] dsoffs: ganking wireless is hardly considered hacking [03:38] Okay, that guy was the most pointless little nuisance I've ever seen in here... lol [03:38] kids...

[03:38] <[chr0n0s]> spikemcc, use pidgin [03:38] it's the beginning of a huge understanding. [03:38] spikemcc: aMSN and Pidgin work well for me. [03:38] tanath, edwin dont feed the trolls please [03:38] chrisb_, well... you're WAY beyond my capabilities.. sorry I can't help more. [03:38] Agent_bob: no we have to pay for internet [03:38] fuck [03:38] IdleOne, aw :P [03:39] !ohmy | BIOSboiler [03:39] oh my [03:39] BIOSboiler: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:39] no hope for me it crash ... [03:39] has anyone ever installed squirrelmail? [03:39] IdleOne: fair enough [03:39] ubotu have u installed squirelmail [03:39] spikemcc, might be your router or firewall, aMSN works on everyone elses network except thru my router/firewall. [03:39] ok [03:39] BIOSboiler: ubotu is a bot [03:39] rilo heh. yeah and a creationest. which is what i was refering to. [03:39] where can I get ruby-gtk2 and ruby-libglade2 packages? [03:39] Agent_bob: haha, oh :D [03:39] msn is a horrible protocol to begin with, but thats beside the point. gaim, kopete, and amsn all worked out of the box for me. what kind of problems were you having? [03:39] is this room just newbies? [03:39] !squirelmail [03:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about squirelmail - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:39] @Scunizi thanks, i'll see if i can't find a developer irc chat [03:39] @tanath:still nothing. For example my tar.gz files that are set to open with archive manager used to all be litle carton boxes, but now they are just blank white files like everything else, so i have to rely on the extension which is horrible. [03:39] BIOSboiler: nope... some of us are non newbies helping newbies :) [03:40] pidgin amsn kopete and kmess all don't work [03:40] chrisb_: what are you building? [03:40] chrisb_, maybe #ubuntu-dev.. not sure if it's correct but it's something like that. [03:40] Cosmo, yeah, i understand the problem. i'm just not sure if it's a configuration/preference problem, or if something is missing or what [03:40] i run an exchange server 2007 at work. when i am at home i do not have any access at all to the exchange server. all i can use is an OWA webmail page. is there a way to use evolution to access this account? [03:40] spikemcc: why? i mean, running them from command line, what error do you get? [03:40] spikemcc: Then I suggest you fix whatever you broke on your system.... [03:40] BIOSboiler mostly tho [03:40] chrisb_: if you had an error building menuconfig most likely you don't have the ncurses dev lib [03:40] Cosmo, i've been looking through settings, but those haven't worked yet [03:40] hey how do i black list a device ? i don;t want it broadcasting any more [03:41] jones: I've only actually been able to get Evolution to access exchange via OWA, so, yes, it should work fine. [03:41] pygmymath---- do u know anything about squireelmail? [03:41] are there any programs that'll make my wiener bigger? [03:41] Every time I try to cd to /cdrom, I get this message: bash: cd: /cdrom: Permission denied. Any ideas? [03:41] dsoffs: Yep - sudo rm -rf / [03:41] seem that pidgin work but it crash a lot [03:41] It's because of folks like dsoffs that I yanked my wifi card and went wired. Best thing I ever did [03:41] i was told to take a pic and use gimp to enhance, then tape on. [03:41] Man, I never tell anyone to do that either... [03:41] Creationist, :) [03:41] hi, my other partitions have disappeared from the desktop. While I was erasing some files from the data partition (NTFS), I got an error msg (cant show all the content in this folder), and now looks like I cant acces any folder at all [03:41] Probably never should have written that.... sorry, guiys. [03:41] @tanath: I know and im so thankful for all of your help [03:41] slop: ls -l /cdrom [03:41] Creationist: you're my hero [03:42] TurtleOfDoom: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2008-02-16 23:36 /cdrom -> media/cdrom [03:42] Cosmo, ok, the thumbnails aren't working for anything, so it's not gstreamer. it doesn't seem to be a preference/setting issue... [03:42] pici: when i put in my username/password and the OWA URL it says that it is incorrect. i have even tried w/ the domain as well [03:42] Pici: I do know better... hence the apology. :) [03:42] Why is dd a process in Gutsy although I did not instruct any dd command? [03:42] Pici: Couldn't resist.... [03:42] hmm, world readable and writable [03:42] Cosmo: do you have thumbnailing turned on in gconf? what is the cache size limit? [03:43] jones: Hmm.. It could be the setup that I have at work, the server admins aren't exactly the best with sercurity. [03:43] it!

[03:43] could be. this is actually for a very large US telco [03:43] edwin: Hmm... part of me wants to laugh, b ut the other part has no clue what you're talking about lol [03:44] where can I get ruby-gtk2 and ruby-libglade2 packages?

[03:44] @mneptok: Yea my settings are fine. [03:44] Ruby is fricken awesome.... just wish I knew more than hello world :) [03:44] bullgard4 look at what it's reading and where it's writing and you'll understand it. [03:44] Cosmo: you ran gconf to check? [03:45] yes [03:45] jones: I beleive the Official evolution channel is on irc.gimp.org [03:45] Creationist: you're like the troll anti-christ. you know, leading all the trolls into false salvation in reality cursin them into eternal damnation [03:45] what settings do you want me to chekc [03:45] slop: the command works fine for me, are you typing "cd /cdrom"? [03:45] Pici: irc://irc.gnome.org/evolution [03:45] Cosmo, do you have a .thumbnails directory? [03:45] < Yes [03:45] anyone got a tutorial how to remove and rebuild amsn-aa (latest) and add some skins and addons ? [03:45] hey mneptok, ltns [03:45] Beryllium: heya [03:45] how's life treating you? [03:46] edwin: Well, they've earned it :) [03:46] TurtleOfDoom: yeah. and i could access the last cd i was using just fine. the cd i'm having problems with is actually disk 2 (as well as disk 3) of quake 4 [03:46] TurtleOfDoom: disk 1 would let me access though [03:46] Beryllium: 2 months to release. you tell me. ;) [03:46] Hmm... [03:46] yikes! :) [03:46] Was gonna ask a question, but let me validate the disk first. [03:46] edwin: That's the only "salvation" a person CAN earn, actually... but that's an #off-topic topic ;) [03:46] @tanath: Yes i do have a .thumbnails directory [03:46] Agent_bob: klogd is a process too. So klogd needs dd for functioning? [03:46] slop: try putting disk one back in and see if that works [03:46] Cosmo, you can try renaming it. if that works, then just delete it [03:47] mneptok: I'm not normally in here, but it turns out that one of my coworkers at my new job is a regular in here ... :) [03:47] Cosmo, strangely, i don't seem to have one, lol [03:47] Cosmo: ls -la ~/ | grep thumbn [03:47] i wish the ruby channel was this active. i'd love to be a part of a project team and make something coding stuff by myself is kinda boring [03:47] Cosmo, er, wait, yes i do [03:47] lol [03:47] how can I find what the WEP key is for a wireless connection I have saved into the network manager? [03:47] edwin, sometimes I wish that is WASN'T so active. ;-) [03:47] I need to retrieve it. [03:47] TurtleOfDoom: Yup. I can still access disk 1. [03:48] Hmm... okay, the network I'm connecting to in Windows is called "SpeedTouch" How would I get Ubuntu to connect to that network? [03:48] choudesh: well, the troll to helpful_user ratio isn't as bad as some places i've seen (ie mint, yvd, etc) [03:48] @mneptok: drwx------ 4 cosmo cosmo 4096 2008-01-23 16:20 .thumbnails [03:48] Creationist: NetworkManager [03:48] <__Oz__> edwin: yeah, we take pride in that here.

[03:48] edwin, the channel tries it's best. ;-) [03:49] Cosmo, just rename it, then close nautilus and try again [03:49] Ubuntu CD is crashing on me... Even trying to do the defect check. It says, "HP-Bios bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC [03:49] <__Oz__> You talk about some off-topic sum'n sum'n, we're gonna make sure you learn not to do that again.

[03:49] Creationist: iwcofing eth1 essid SpeedTouch [03:49] Zarathu: assuming you own the router, why not navigate to the router through your browser and change the key.. or reset the router assuming you don't remember it [03:49] It suggests to try booting using "noapic" option, but I just picked something with the menu. [03:49] mneptok: Right, but I don't know the WEP key or anything OTHER than the network name. In Windows I don't need anything... just select the network and I'm good to go. [03:49] slop: take your pick [03:49] seriously fellas (ladies too) this is one of the few channels i can visit and stay for a few hours even if i'm not getting help with my own issues [03:49] edwin: because I don't own the router. it's the key to my school. they gave it to me once, but I bought a new laptop. [03:50] zhanx: WOuldn't need a key or anythning for that? [03:50] chrisb_, what do you need help with? [03:50] mneptok, better to rename it. could be corrupt files [03:50] TurtleOfDoom: with disk 2 in, that command returns: /dev/scd0 on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,user=slop [03:50] hi all... any idea about Envy for nvidia driver installation ? [03:50] is this a good thing or a bad thing? === mrnotproper is now known as peterfile [03:50] <__Oz__> You will need that key, Zarathu. [03:50] edwin, PM please.

[03:50] Creationist: you said it was open no encrytion [03:50] slop: take the cd out and try the command with an empty drive [03:50] <__Oz__> Zarathu: contact your network admin.

I don't have to enter any passwords. But in Windows, it's still reported as a WPA network. [03:51] any ideas? [03:51] __Oz__: yes, I have physical access. I just don't want to go through the trouble of asking them for the key again when I can just do it myself. [03:51] Creationist: I was using Restricted Drivers but it's not working right [03:51] ok, I'm thinking of switching to ubuntu (I'm sure you love answering these questions), and have some questions: 1) How strictly are the packages kept at certain versions? I was under the impression that if I get ubuntu 7.10, say, I'll be stuck with a certain version (with security patches/minor upgrades) until the next distupgrade. I like newer packages for some apps. 2) Along these lines, how easy is it to upgrade/downgrade the [03:51] kernel? My laptop sometimes runs into issues with a new kernel version. [03:51] particularly because it takes them a day to approve the form. [03:51] TurtleOfDoom: with empty drive, it doesn't return anything. Just takes me back to prompt. [03:51] Creationist: uh... [03:51] <__Oz__> Zarathu: can you get into the admin page of your router? [03:51] I have changed driver to nvidia vs nv [03:51] Creationist: you need to install more then [03:51] Creationist: psst, heaven and hell are fairytales [03:51] need help: Java apps hang on load. If I give them enough time, it'll eventually work, but just a pain [03:51] __Oz__: if I don't have the key, no. [03:51] my desktop has top and bottom bars cut off... can't get to correct resolution or something [03:51] * Shirakawasuna whistles off into nowhere [03:51] Cosmo, you can rename it to .thumbnails-bak or something, and see if it works. if that fixes it, then you can just delete the directory and needn't worry any more [03:51] Creationist: you have a WEP key, but Windows has never, ever asked for it? that's ... some interesting "security" [03:51] i have the ubuntu 7.10 live cd...can sum1 guide me step by step on wat i should do to reput grub bcuz i installed windows xp after ubuntu 7.10 (my previous install which I cant boot) [03:51] <__Oz__> Zarathu: then you can always take a paper clip, straighten it out, and poke the "reset" button on the router, which will force it back to factory defaults [03:51] !off-topic | Shirakawasuna [03:51] Shirakawasuna: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[03:52] sleepster: the commands i need to type* [03:52] What is the proper way to assign LDAP users to local groups? [03:52] sleepster, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingUbuntu [03:52] on ubuntu 7.10 [03:52] Cosmo: any change? [03:52] sleepster : donate your gf to us [03:53] edwin : you are connected to ird [03:53] Kalamansi c'mon.. I am a computer dork.. I don't have a g/f either [03:53] I am fat.. short [03:53] Shirakawasuna: packages are kept at approx the version of release bar bug fixes and security - there is an ubuntu backports repo though so that you can get packages ported into the currently running distro [03:53] sleepster: document all bugs you find, check bug reports, then write your own [03:53] with glasses [03:53] __Oz__: you seem to be suspicious of me possibly doing something wrong. the laptop is mine and I already have the key, it's just encrypted. [03:53] sleepster : hehehe.its okay [03:53] __Oz__: so how do I get it? [03:53] sleepster : where you at? [03:53] sleepster: head over to Launchpad and look around [03:53] <__Oz__> Zarathu: I'm trying to adjust your sense of reality. Unless you want to start trying guess a 10 or 12 digit passkey, the ONLY solution is to get the key again from your school or whomever generated it for you. [03:53] TurtleOfDoom: just as a side note...i'm in k3b. when i put the disk in, it pops up on the desktop...then i have to right click/mount to mount it. is there a way to mount it some other way (e.g. in cli) that might give me access to it? [03:53] Kalamansi LA [03:53] Shirakawasuna: even then ubuntu releases are not very far apart - ~6 months and they usually manage to get the latest gnome/ubuntu in with that [03:53] @choudesh sorry for taking so long, i need help building the ubuntu source [03:53] Kalamansi everyone in LA is hot except me [03:53] TurtleOfDoom: when i say k3b, i mean kde lol [03:53] chrisb_: What source? [03:53] __Oz__: that makes no sense at all. if my network manager is able to get the key from the keyring, why can't I do that? [03:53] Shirakawasuna okay thanks [03:53] if i see a technical problem. or some thing i want or i think in some way about ubuntu . where can i say it? [03:54] sleepster : hehehe [03:54] go figure theres an irc help page ^o) [03:54] can sum1 tell me here cuz i cant understand im too tired for guides and i need a real working comp to edit video for a project thats due after tomorow and i have alot of work not to mention i dint eat and im starving :( [03:54] @Pici the UBUNTU source code [03:54] <__Oz__> Zarathu: I do not think you're doing anything wrong. And you're probably on better ethical ground than I am, because if I were in your shoes I'd just reset the router so I could get online and claim ignorance. You're not doing that, so you're a better person than I. [03:54] @Pici (the kernel) [03:54] chrisb_, describe what you are trying to do [03:54] !kernel | chrisb_ read [03:54] chrisb_ read: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [03:54] NigelS: ok, but let's say I want a package like teewars that requires the most recent version to be playable (pretend it's in the universe repo or something). Does that kind of thing get updated often, or do I need to find another repo like that backports thing? [03:54] how difficult is it to setup my own apt repository [03:54] edwin: Nothing like a man page for the manual, huh? ;) [03:54] :] [03:54] hey has anyone tried lostirc or loqui? [03:54] like I have 6 machines all running ubuntu.. and I would like to auto update them all [03:54] when i start apps, their title bars are hidden behind the top panel. why is this, and how do i fix it? [03:54] Creationist: i fell in love with man at first sight (not to sound gay) [03:54] also: nvidia has released drivers for linux and they claim the restricted drivers need to be completely uninstalled... which I have done, but I'm unable to install the nvidia downloaded drivers because i'm told I'm missing libc header files which I swear are already installed [03:55] slop: "mount /dev/xxx /media/cdrom" should do it, you have to put in the proper value for xxx of course [03:55] @tanath: Renamed it to .thumbnails-bak and nothing happened [03:55] i bet the woman command gets me lost [03:55] joecurlee you need to install the headers [03:55] sleepster: got my pm? [03:55] <__Oz__> Zarathu: describe what you mean when you say "my network manager is able to get the key from the keyring." What does that mean, exactly? [03:55] edwin are you gay? [03:55] @ubotu i have, but my problem is that when i follow those directions, it won't build the menuconfig [03:55] any gay here? [03:55] Hello all. Im having issues with installing Photoshop CS2 using Wine. When I click on the setup.exe I get an error that says .\AutoPlay\main.ini then I click on ok from that and I get MAIN_FILE_VERSION>click ok >PRODUCT_REGISTRY_PARENT. Any ideas? [03:55] sleepster: i already did via synaptic [03:55] Shirakawasuna: I wouldn't expect major updates between releases tbh but this is the case for most distros - you can usually find debs for anything that absolutely isn't in backports [03:55] if i see a technical problem. or some thing i want or i think in some way about ubuntu . where can i say it? [03:55] sleepster, not hard. mirror ubuntu's or your own packages? Any easy way is to create a launchpad account and use a PPA [03:55] Shirakawasuna: what sort of background are you from distro wise? [03:55] Cosmo, did you close nautilus and start it again? [03:56] NigelS: running release, both gentoo and archlinux. I'm sick of some things just not working right, like suspend/resume, hibernate, networkmanager... [03:56] joecurlee you need your kernel headers too [03:56] __Oz__: that means I specifically have the key saved onto my computer. "sudo network-admin" <--- It's saved as the location "School" and the key is saved onto the HDD, which allows it to connect to that SSID without me having to type the key in over and over again. When I go home, I switch to the "Home" location. [03:56] http://i28.tinypic.com/f374f8.png [03:56] <__Oz__> ahhh [03:56] woops wrong channel [03:56] Can anyone help me? [03:56] * Liono thinks if i see a technical problem. or some thing i want or i think in some way about ubuntu . where can i say it? [03:56] Liono: right here [03:56] Hey guys [03:56] Liono: launchpad.net [03:57] @tanath: start nautilus again? [03:57] danny: how do we know, if you don't ask your question? [03:57] __Oz__: just a miscommunication? :] [03:57] <__Oz__> I don't think that's designed to ever show the unencrytped key. [03:57] Im having issues with installing Photoshop CS2 using Wine. When I click on the setup.exe I get an error that says .\AutoPlay\main.ini then I click on ok from that and I get MAIN_FILE_VERSION>click ok >PRODUCT_REGISTRY_PARENT. Any ideas? [03:57] Cosmo, close it and reopen it [03:57] __Oz__: gah, dammit. [03:57] when i do this in ubuntu ...update-alternatives --config java ... the options are '*' and '+' .. .it states there '*' means default but what does '+' mean [03:57] so via synaptic just noticed that libc-dev is not installed... attmepted to install and was given an error "could not find linux-libc-dev_2.6.22-14.51_amd64.deb 404 not found" [03:57] <__Oz__> A slight miscommunication, yes, but the situation remains unchanged. You must request a copy of the unencrypted key again. [03:57] danny: yeah. Run it in windoze. [03:57] Shirakawasuna: yeah, ubuntu doesn't run at the level of bleeding edge that gentoo tends to operate at but what is released tends to work together - obviously they can't overcome hw problems with recalcitrant hw manu (i.e. nvidia problems with suspend/resume) [03:57] @tanath: Ok i closed and reopened nautilus now what? [03:57] sleepster: apt-cacher sounds like what you want, see: http://www.nick-andrew.net/projects/apt-cacher/ [03:57] Cosmo, might need to log out and back in, 'cause it draws the desktop too.. [03:57] sleepster: what are kernel headers called in synaptic? [03:57] Anyone think they can help with my issue? [03:57] Cosmo, i take it that didn't work? lol [03:58] TurtleOfDoom: weird...when i do that, it just hangs, and never goes back to prompt [03:58] danny: I just did [03:58] <__Oz__> Zarathu: are you expecting them to give you a hard time when you call and ask for the key? [03:58] danc3: no you didnt [03:58] Shirakawasuna: tbh, debian sid always used to be as cutting edge as it was safe to be, gentoo tended to push it to the point where sw just wasn't ready [03:58] NigelS: I have all-intel hardware, so I'm thinking it'll probably work a bit better in ubuntu/kubuntu [03:58] TurtleOfDoom: i can't even ctrl-c out of it [03:58] @tanath: well the thumbnails that i did have for pictures that were opened are gone [03:58] __Oz__: I was just kidding. There is no form. I cracked the wireless key by tapping into one of my teacher's laptops, and I really don't feel like going through the hassle again. :] [03:59] when i do this in ubuntu ...**update-alternatives --config java** ... the options are '*' and '+' .. .it states there '*' means default but what does '+' mean [03:59] Shirakawasuna: yeah - you can check the online hw db to see if there are any reported issues [03:59] danc3 Flannel not to ubuntu.com ? who made it [03:59] NigelS: perhaps I'll try debian first and see if those issues I have are resolved, as testing is rolling release, eh? [03:59] Cosmo, yeah, as expected. hold on [03:59] danny: yes, I did. If you want to run Windoze software, then run Windoze. Ubuntu is Linux. Make up your mind which you want to run. [03:59] hey guys i have a problem with 'q' DVD-AUTHOR... when i get a project to burn on a DVD i gives me back an error message saying: /tmp/execute.sh: line 3: mkisofs: command not found [03:59] /tmp/execute.sh: line 3: dvdrecord: command not found... somebody is familiar with this app so it could help me? thanks [03:59] <__Oz__> zarathu: Ahhhh... now you're starting to warm the cockles of my heart. === edwin_ is now known as EnvoyRising [03:59] Liono: huh? [03:59] Well, zhanx, mneptok, edwin... thanks for the help. I'm off to bed.... everyone have a great night/day. [03:59] :] [03:59] Hello all. Im having issues with installing Photoshop CS2 using Wine. When I click on the setup.exe I get an error that says .\AutoPlay\main.ini then I click on ok from that and I get MAIN_FILE_VERSION>click ok >PRODUCT_REGISTRY_PARENT. Any ideas? [03:59] Shirakawasuna: I would try ubuntu personally - I've used debian for years but ubuntu is better for the desktop [03:59] Hi ... I have a dialup modem ... I use one command to activate it ... how can I make this happen automatically upon startup?? Here's the command "sudo martian_modem --country=us [03:59] <__Oz__> Well, your mistake was storing it in encrypted fashion. [03:59] danny: yes, I did. If you want to run Windoze software, then run Windoze. Ubuntu is Linux. Make up your mind which you want to run. [03:59] NigelS: ok, thanks! :D [03:59] slop: wierd, try it with the disc1 that works, but I'd say the problem is linux doesn't want to mount that cdrom, wierd [04:00] danc3 Flannel http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=699029 [04:00] danny: no idea, I would find a guide [04:00] <__Oz__> You do realize that if you could withdraw the key, unencrypted, it'd be unsecure, right? Sort of a catch-22. So that's why you can't retrieve it unencrypted. You should have written it down on a scrap of paper or emailed it to yourself or something. [04:00] danny: there's bound to be photoshop install guides for ubuntu all over the place === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [04:00] has anyone used any other window's manager besides gnome and KDE.. and are there any really nice stable, sexy ones [04:00] danc3: wine is a legitimate compatibility layer, there's no need to discourage people from using it [04:00] available [04:00] sleepster : openbox or xfce [04:01] danny: Join #winehq for specific application help under Wine. [04:01] Shirakawasuna: I was following a guide when I got the error [04:01] danny: have you checked the winehq guide? [04:01] <__Oz__> However, I highly respect the fashion in which you felched the key, Zarathu. [04:01] tumbleweed__ are they pretty stable? [04:01] yes [04:01] much better. all registered [04:01] sleepster: try xfce, nice stable and sexy are really matters of opinion [04:01] danny: hmm. I *always* use the command line when using wine, you may want to try it as wlel [04:01] Thank you for ur help [04:02] __Oz__: thanks :] [04:02] I think I might just have to do it again :< [04:02] Shirakawasuna: What command? [04:02] sleepster: there is a whole ubuntu distribution built around xfce [04:02] either that or use aircrack :/ [04:02] danny: here U go ... http://luiscosio.com/how-to-adobe-photoshop-cs2-on-ubuntu-10-steps .. enjoyz [04:02] TurtleOfDoom: but it's poor really [04:02] TurtleOfDoom: if you want a serious xfce distro, zenwalk is the way to go [04:02] bruenig: I wouldn't know, I used it for all of 30 min [04:02] when i do this in ubuntu ...**update-alternatives --config java** ... the options are '*' and '+' .. .it states there '*' means default but what does '+' mean [04:03] Ububegin: Thanks. That's the exact guide I was following that told me to right click the .exe [04:03] Cosmo, google is being surprisingly unhelpful with this [04:03] * TurtleOfDoom does have any silly x servers on his ubuntu install [04:03] * TurtleOfDoom meant to say "does not" [04:03] <__Oz__> Zarathu: next time, write it down! [04:03] danny: then use one of the 4,556, 791 other guides out there [04:03] danny: yeah, I would agree - I never trust wine to work with the gui as it may swallow erros - use the CLI i.e. wine ./setup.exe [04:03] TurtleOfDoom thanks.. do you know if xfce works with compiz [04:03] <__Oz__> I have all kinds of hacked info I store by emailing it to myself in gmail or using gmail docs [04:03] <__Oz__> Linux/Ubuntu is all about the spirit of hacking at the end of the day [04:04] sleepster: no idea, perhaps someone else here does [04:04] NigelS: Thank you [04:04] __Oz__: haha, well, I don't think it should be very difficult to guess, because I remember it was something like 1234567890ABCDEF [04:04] whats the help channel? [04:04] Ububegin: I beleive + is the original one. [04:04] lynxx: for what? [04:04] irc recommendations? xchat just seems clunky [04:04] can sum1 plz help me use ubuntu 7.10 live cd to reput grub so that i can access my old ubuntu 7.10 installation so i can get my files as well as do my project for skool?? [04:04] __Oz__: yep, unless we're trying to get into OpenBSD ;] [04:04] <__Oz__> zarathu: heheheheheheh [04:04] lynxx: Ubuntu help or irc help? [04:04] EnvoyRising: xchat [04:04] EnvoyRising: I use irssi but its console based [04:04] EnvoyRising, irssi with screen? [04:05] EnvoyRising: you want a graphical one or a command line one? [04:05] Pici: hmm, yeah. makes sense... Tks,mate [04:05] * TurtleOfDoom also uses irssi with screen [04:05] ubuntu: what has overwritten grub on the mbr? windows? [04:05] ubuntu help pici, running fluxbuntu and have some questions [04:05] command line is sexy, but i think i wanna start with graphical for now. on xchat already, but a little overwhelmed [04:05] @tanath: I know been there done that [04:05] !fixgrub | ubuntu have you seen this? [04:05] i'd like something kiss like [04:05] ubuntu have you seen this?: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:05] lynxx: this is the channel, ask away [04:06] Any Linux Geniuses can tell me how to make a script out of "sudo martian_modem --country=us" ... it's to activate a dialup modem [04:06] #! /usr/bin/bash [04:06] then save with .sh extension.. correct me if i'm wrong [04:06] seamus7: while I don't fit the category, perhaps you could elaborate on why you want a script for that [04:09] wtf? like 100 people just disconnected [04:09] did i miss something? [04:09] The above is a question. [04:09] EnvoyRising: netsplit [04:09] this sucks [04:10] Beryllium: oh ok [04:10] I can't identify because nickserv is on the other side [04:10] I'm having trouble booting. Specifically, it takes 10 minutes to boot. I tried bootchart, but its before bootcharg loads as bootchart shows only 23s or so. "Starting up..." appears for 10 minutes before it actually boots. If I disable ACPI, it boots up quickly. [04:10] <__Oz__> NETSPLIT! AAIIIIIEEEEE! [04:10] ubuntu: figure it out, and get it done [04:10] a bot calling a bot, loverly [04:10] ubuntu: that page tells you how to restore grub; alternatively you could in windows install the ext3 driver and copy work accross that way [04:10] @NigelS when i run Make menuconfig # i get a bunch of errors around a missing library (sys/types.h) [04:10] * __Oz__ screams incomprehensible words. [04:10] @tanath: I'm greek so we say do you have family around here..no article "a" lol [04:10] wtf just happened? [04:10] __Oz__: step by step which commands do i put in order to get my grub back using the 7.10 live cd [04:10] ha [04:10] danc3: this is a support channel - if you don't want to help him fine but please don't keep implying that he should go away [04:10] danc3: ease up [04:10] <__Oz__> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIEEEE!!

Then go to Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor > desktop > gnome > thumbnailers, and enable them all [04:11] Cosmo: ideas for what [04:11] @NigelS ok, one moment [04:11] <__Oz__> Jack_Sparrow: heheheh. Always. :) [04:11] I'm having trouble booting. Specifically, it takes 10 minutes to boot. I tried bootchart, but its before bootcharg loads as bootchart shows only 23s or so.

[04:13] just my irc stuff [04:13] sleepster: No harder that building any distro from scratch [04:13] sleepster: why do that? [04:13] sleepster: there's really no need to - but it isn't very hard to build apps if you really wanted to - theyr'e provided int he source repo and come with software to do it all for you [04:13] Cosmo, it didn't recreated it?

[04:15] EnvoyRising: you're not far off the mark :) [04:15] nickrud, no, it's not formatted. It's just free space now. [04:15] /tmp/execute.sh: line 3: dvdrecord: command not found... somebody is familiar with this app so it could help me? thanks [04:15] Cosmo, ok, make one, then make sure thumbnails are enabled in the configuration editor [04:15] <__Oz__> ubuntu: are you using 7.10 ubuntu? [04:16] lgc: sure, do anything you like to it. [04:16] __Oz__: ya but live cd [04:16] Cusoon959: yes, pass -lm to include the math library [04:16] <__Oz__> oh, you're on the CD? [04:16] TurtleOfDoom: basically I just enter the command I mentioned then "sudo wvdial" and voila I'm connected to the net (by the way I have broadband but I'm setting up a friends's clunker who only has dialup) [04:16] thanks NigelS [04:16] __Oz__: ya [04:16] <__Oz__> ubuntu: so what is your problem again? [04:16] Cusoon959: you need to fix those warnings too but only you can see that :) [04:16] lgc: personaly I prefer cfdisk for partitioning, and then mkfs.* for formatting. I don't care for gparted myself [04:16] __Oz__: i had it on the hd then i installed windows on another partition so i lost the grub now i want to get it bak using this live cd [04:16] Does Ubuntu have a built-in mechanism for rebuilding a kernel module with different options? (I need to enable USB verbose debugging.) [04:16] <__Oz__> Yeah, gparted is pretty messed up. [04:17] Hey guys i'm having some problems with 'q' DVD-Author, when i get it to burn a DVD Project it gives me back this error message: /tmp/execute.sh: line 3: dvdrecord: command not found... somebody is familiar with this app so it could help me? thanks [04:17] NigelS: I get http://pastebin.com/m619d593a now... is that what you mean? === clay is now known as TwoShadeTod [04:17] __Oz__: ubuntu needs to reinstall grub. mbr overwrote it after windows install me thinks [04:17] nickrud, it's just that the QTparted message 'make sure you unmount all partitions before making any changes' intimidates me. [04:17] <__Oz__> ubuntu: okay, I want you to read a tutorial at this URL: [04:17] NigelS: Oh but it compiled :P [04:17] __Oz__: exactly wat EnvoyRising said [04:17] seamus7: if you want the shell script idea, then yes, put "#!/bin/sh" as the first line and your two lines in it [04:17] Cusoon959: yes, they were there before. You're passing arguments with the wrong type [04:17] <__Oz__> envoyrising: yes, I understand [04:17] @NigelS i posted all error messages into the PasteBin [04:17] Cusoon959: yes, it's a warning not an error - but your program may now crash :) [04:17] ubuntu, for restoring grub see http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm It's always worked great for me. [04:18] chrisb_: you need to give me the link :P [04:18] @NigelS ok, one moment [04:18] <__Oz__> here's the url, ubuntu [04:18] <__Oz__> http://apcmag.com/5459/dualboot_ubuntu_and_windows_xp [04:18] <__Oz__> for the record, it's much easier to install XP FIRST and then Ubuntu SECOND [04:18] ubuntu i could have sworn that reinstalling grub was only two lines of code.. that involved getting into the grub command line [04:18] hermanzone is very nice stuff [04:18] __Oz__: i no but its for other reasons [04:18] <__Oz__> this is because grub will find and 'respect' the windows install while the windows boot manager will trample all over your ubuntu settings [04:18] nickrud, I thought that flannel was the only one around stuck in barebones Ubuntu. [04:18] EnvoyRising, pretty much.. check out my link above for grub [04:19] <__Oz__> ubuntu: that's okay, you can get both working with ubuntu installed first [04:19] __Oz__: ya i no all these things [04:19] @NigelS paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56579 [04:19] __Oz__: Add to that .. once you have dual boot setup, make a copy of the mbr using the dd command [04:19] <__Oz__> just follow the instructions at http://apcmag.com/5459/dualboot_ubuntu_and_windows_xp [04:19] Hey guys, I know i'm not an IRC regular, but I was wondering if you could give me a hand. I'm having issues detecting my scanner. It's a lexmark X1185 Scanner/Printer combo. Printer works in CUPS for the most part. Scanner worked like shit under the Synaptic database Sane (1.0.14). So, (skipping the long details for just a sec) the current stand is that every trace of any older SANE has been expunged, the newest sane source compiled and i [04:19] <__Oz__> Aye! Do as the captain suggest, ubuntu. [04:19] @tanath: How do i make sure...as in where do i check? [04:19] __Oz__: itll be done off of this live cd tho, right? i have dial-up so i cant burn other things... [04:19] lgc: bare bones? I prefer non gui tools for system stuff. Reminds me that I've got to be cautious and correct [04:19] <__Oz__> no, ubuntu [04:19] <__Oz__> you won't need to use the livecd [04:19] Cosmo, go to Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor > desktop > gnome > thumbnailers, and enable them all [04:20] <__Oz__> again, just follow the instructions at http://apcmag.com/5459/dualboot_ubuntu_and_windows_xp [04:20] <__Oz__> it will tell you exactly how to get grub back [04:20] __Oz__: i have no floppies, etc [04:20] <__Oz__> and you can then boot into ubuntu, etc. [04:20] !enter | __Oz__ [04:20] <__Oz__> Ye shan't need floppies et. al., ubuntu. (People still use those things?) [04:20] __Oz__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:20] <__Oz__> ubuntu: did you get all that? [04:21] Cosmo, also, in System > Prefs > File Management > Preview tab, double check your settings [04:21] @tanath: All of them were already enabled === edwin is now known as EnvoyRising [04:21] __Oz__: ya im reading....my eyes r burning :( [04:21] Cosmo, only for files smaller than 5Mb, or something reasonable? [04:21] <__Oz__> ubuntu: it's not that hard, man [04:21] chrisb_: do you have build-essential? [04:21] <__Oz__> but as you can see, it's much easier to do the windows xp first, ubuntu second install [04:21] Cosmo, and set it to local files only [04:21] nickrud, well yes, and work at least twice as much. I migrated to a bigger disk that way, instead of using GUIs. But I must've done something wrong, since my disk makes funny noises all the time ('end of device' or some cr*p -come and get me, censors!- like that). [04:21] xchat is killing me :@ looking up irsii as we speak [04:21] I have a question that isn't ubuntu related but thought someone here might know, i want to define a function such as f(x) = x^2 and then find its derivative, how do i define functions in matlab, without using a .m file ? [04:22] @tanath: i dont have file management [04:22] Cosmo, could be hanging on something else [04:22] how do I have every folder opening in a new window? [04:22] <__Oz__> norty: try #matlab [04:22] Cosmo, ok, well it's in nautilus preferences in the edit menu [04:22] Cosmo, you can change what shows in the menus with the menu editor [04:22] norty: you might want to try #math [04:22] anyone? [04:22] @NigelS build-essential? (sorry i'm a little new to linux development) [04:22] @tanath: yeah i know i got it [04:22] EnvoyRising, open terminal, type sudo apt-get install irssi.. wait.. type irssi .. once loaded type /connect irc.freenode.net [04:22] chrisb_: it's a package - apt-get install build-essential [04:23] Any one with any ideas on my scanner problem? [04:23] lgc: mn, (takes off sensor hat) not sure what you did, but sudo fdisk -l might give you a clue (better error messages maybe) (puts censor hat back on, and chides lgc :) [04:23] EnvoyRising, then once connected type /join #ubuntu [04:23] __Oz__, I am in #matlab, just thought id ask here just in case someone might know [04:23] @tanath: 5MB and Local Files Only...Done [04:23] Scunizi: no go. file not found [04:23] I'm trying out evolution mail and am havign a pretty seirous problem [04:23] thats why i'm going to the site [04:23] Memtest shuts down computer does anyone know why? Running 64bit AMD athlon X2 [04:23] <__Oz__> norty: nah, we all hate that application in here. [04:23] <__Oz__> :) [04:23] Cosmo, and restart nautilus [04:23] I have roughly 1500 emails to download and says there is an input output error after every roughly 25 msgs [04:23] !repos | EnvoyRising [04:23] EnvoyRising: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [04:23] DOH! typo [04:24] EnvoyRising, you need to enable universe and multiverse repos.. in system/administration/software sources [04:24] __Oz__: i think my problem is solved! thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! [04:24] Thunderbird had no problem downloading the same exact msgs [04:24] <__Oz__> ubuntu: no problem, my friend [04:24] __Oz__: well i still have to ckeck lol [04:24] !gutsysources | EnvoyRising [04:24] EnvoyRising: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). [04:24] @tanath: Just by closing and then opening? [04:24] __Oz__: :) [04:24] IdleOne: all correct repos are enabled irc newbie, yes. linux/ubuntu newbie, no [04:24] nickrud, it just does it when the disk is idle. But haven't been able to start Windoze ever since. Any experience with VMWare? [04:24] <__Oz__> ubuntu: good luck, enjoy your dual boot install, and remember: when in doubt, use ubuntu over windows! [04:24] I am having trouble viewing a dvd movie. I've gone to many forums and tried everything and it still does not work. [04:24] Cosmo, should work... [04:24] if it doesn't, you might try logging out and back in to be sure [04:25] How do I burn a .avi onto a DVD so the DVD is like a movie that I can put in a DVD player and it will play? [04:25] __Oz__: ubuntu is better its just i needed sumtin from windows, anyway, im restarting comp and thx again :) [04:25] @NigelS sorry, it's taking a little while [04:25] <__Oz__> fredsua: download restricted extras package [04:25] Cosmo, 'cause nautilus handles the desktop too [04:25] lgc: yes, I use vmware (vista inside). gparted ruined my vista partition, I had to reinstall === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [04:25] <__Oz__> !medibuntu | fredsua [04:25] fredsua: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:25] @ tanath: Nothing. [04:25] I have downloaded the extras, and nothing [04:25] Cosmo, if it doesn't, you might try logging out and back in to be sure [04:25] __Oz__: dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1 [04:25] <__Oz__> devo: most use gnomebaker and DeVeDe. However, it will require some tweaking. Unfortunately, Ubuntu is not very good for burning DVDs, but it can be made to work. [04:26] I included medibuntu, should I remove it? [04:26] <__Oz__> fredsua: absolutely not! [04:26] @tanath: Ok here i go..ill be back [04:26] <__Oz__> what will that do, jack_sparrow? [04:26] __Oz__, well, i prefer k3b... [04:26] nickrud, I've read that Vista is especially restrictive with fumbling with partitions. [04:26] <__Oz__> tanath: eh, I could never get that pile of junk to work. [04:26] __Oz__, never really had probs with it [04:26] can some body help me with my internet being so slow [04:26] fredsua: after you've gotten what you want from medibuntu, it's no problem if you disable it again [04:26] __Oz__, why is this? Isn't it easy to burn a DVD? [04:26] __Oz__, pile of junk? k3b is the best [04:27] ah... vintage, yet so beautiful [04:27] <__Oz__> tanath: sorry, it's just my perception. I couldn't do jack squat with it. Plus it gave me errors. I do better with gnomebaker and DeVeDe. [04:27] anyone familiar with smbldap-populate when installing smbldap-installer [04:27] __Oz__, other apps sometimes make coasters :/ [04:27] jay-oh-en: Well ... I can chant in latin to help speed it up, but I don't think it will help. [04:27] The problem is I can't make my movies work [04:27] <__Oz__> devo: for various reasons, most of which have less to do with linux/ubuntu than with the competition [04:27] hey i have a program i downloaded called Liquid wars 6 and i have the same problem i have with every program i download wtihout hte add/remove thing. i cant install it. i have the " ./configure make make install" command but i dont know how to use them coz nothing happens in terminal [04:27] fredsua: you mean play them? [04:27] Beryllium: worth a shot [04:27] <__Oz__> devo: it's just an inherent weakness of ubuntu. Well, that, and wireless support. [04:27] nickrud, can VMW write a virtualized OS to a reiserfs partition? [04:28] yes, I can't play any movies [04:28] KLAATUS BARADUS NIKTUS! KLAATUS BARADUS NIKTUS! ... naw, doesn't seem to be helping. [04:28] Beryllium, its usually really fast [04:28] lgc no clue [04:28] __Oz__: neither are specific to ubuntu [04:28] dogpigeoncow: make sure to have the build-essential package installed [04:28] fredsua: go to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105 [04:28] __Oz__, at least it recognizes it's a DVD in there... My Windows thinks it's a CD. [04:28] envoyrising: which is usually what? [04:28] ok [04:28] fredsua: install that library, and you should be able to play dvd movies [04:28] __Oz__, gnomebaker or brasero would be my second choice, but k3b is my first [04:28] <__Oz__> tritium: maybe not "specific", but they are certainly weaknesses many associate with Ubuntu and/or linux. I realize it's not linux/ubuntu's fault, but it is frustrating. [04:28] I'll give it a try right away [04:28] dogpigeoncow, in terminal type sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:28] thanks [04:28] __Oz__, maybe you didn't have it set up right. it can be touchy about permissions [04:29] <__Oz__> devo: heh, heh. [04:29] jay-oh-en: Is it possible that your network cable has been damaged, or your wireless connection is catching interference? [04:29] when i "reload" in synaptic, i notice every server fails when trying to load: Package, Translation-en_US http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security/universe [04:29] what is goin on here? [04:29] <__Oz__> tanath: maybe. [04:29] nickrud: libdvdcss2? [04:29] <__Oz__> tanath: I wasted a few hours trying to get it to burn a dvd. Finally gave up. [04:29] prince_jammys: yes [04:29] dogpigeoncow: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"from command line [04:29] damn [04:29] yes i know [04:29] <__Oz__> I had a problem with DeVeDe distorting the audio but found a flag to include as a workaround in the command line to fix that prob, so that's what I use. [04:29] dogpigeoncow: then perhaps i misunderstand your question [04:29] Beryllium, its not wireless and i just bought this cable 30 days ago and no damage on it from what i can se === MeggyBit is now known as Osiris2014 [04:29] see [04:29] @NigelS thanks, that fixed most of it [04:29] is it in tight on both ends [04:29] nickrud: I've done that already and didn't work [04:30] What's the hotkey for changing desktops? [04:30] it now wants me to put the ubuntu disk in, is that normal? [04:30] Memtest shuts down computer does anyone know why? Running 64bit AMD athlon X2 thanks [04:30] any one here in LinuxSA? [04:30] @NigelS i still got some more errors, but on later scripts with different header files [04:30] <__Oz__> devo: ctrl-alt-left arrow or right arrow [04:30] devo, ctrl+alt+arrow [04:30] chrisb_: yes, probably ncurses-dev for one [04:30] fredsua: hm, what happens when you insert a dvd? [04:30] ctrl + alt + right arrow/ left arrow [04:30] __Oz__, thanks. [04:30] envoyrising: it asks for the ubuntu cd, is that normal? [04:30] @NigelS you're right, of course [04:30] any one here in LinuxSA? [04:30] @NigelS installed with the apt-get? [04:31] as in south africa? yes im from south africa :) [04:31] want to go into chat room? [04:31] whats up suckas [04:31] hey, is there a way I can eject a CD drive with just one key on the keyboard? Like in Mac [04:31] Anyone have any ideas? I just built a software raid 5 with mdadm and 3 drives, after rebooting, one of the drives goes missing, but i can see the drive as /dev/hdd, but it has no partition on it anymore, /dev/hdd1, i can see my other two just fine, /dev/hde1 and /dev/hdg1, what happened to the first drives partition? [04:31] dogpigeoncow: just go to synaptic and disable cd from repos [04:31] fredsua: I prefer to keep it here, in case someone catches something I miss [04:31] nickrud, someone told me I can clone a Windows partition to a virtualized one instead of installing it fresh. Was it you? [04:31] <__Oz__> devo: we thrill to chill here at #ubuntu. You are welcome, and ask questions of us here anytime. [04:31] chicagonpg_: it could on that architecture be accidentally triggering your CPU to shutdown - that would be funny - but have you googled? [04:31] Les_Caesars: You could use xbindkeys to alias a keycode to the eject command [04:31] i mean LinuxSouthAus [04:31] chrisb_: yep [04:31] fredsua: helps if you use my nick in your replies, it's red in my client [04:31] dogpigeoncow: then sudo apt-get update && sudo-apt get install build-essentials [04:32] chrisb_: this one: libncurses5-dev [04:32] Beryllium: does eject toggle? If I press it while the tray is out, will it bring it back in? [04:32] lgc: nope. I've heard that as well, but never tried [04:32] dogpigeoncow: with the cdrom disabled from repolist, it should fetch most recent stable version from internet isntead [04:32] nickrud: okay, when I insert a DVD movie, the drive pops up in the desktop with the movie name, then VLM opens up to play it and I get an error [04:32] Les_Caesars: I believe it has an option to do that, yes [04:32] My nautilus just crashed again, this time without the external hard drive mounted. So it's not the external hard drive. [04:32] lgc, I know you can create a virtual image of your disc to use in vmware [04:32] it wont let me into synaptics [04:32] NIGels yes I have and I have found nothing. This is a new system build and I have no problem other wise [04:32] fredsua: vlc? what's the error? [04:32] cant get exclusive lock [04:32] icannot open portable USB hdd, http://pastebin.com/d632be116 [04:33] Only in memtest [04:33] @NigelS thanks, i've started tracking down a few other missing ones aswell [04:33] envoyrising: cant get exclusive lock [04:33] ph0rensic, you mean a virtual image of your partition? [04:33] any one here in LinuxSouthAustralia? [04:33] dogpigeoncow, You have something installing on command line? [04:33] nickrud: yes sorry, VLC. The error reads: Unable to open 'dvdsimple:///dev/scd0' [04:33] dogpigeoncow: what else do you have running? [04:33] dogpigeoncow: if you are currently apt-getting something else or running an update, it'll say that [04:33] lgc, well yes i believe that would be the case, but i think I've only seen it for vmware [04:33] * __Oz__ suddenly and inexplicably freaks out. [04:33] fredsua: that's definitely not a libdvdcss error. This happens with every cd? [04:34] lgc, what are you trying to do exactly? [04:34] dogpigeoncow: if you are and don't want to stop those processes, you can always just comment out the cdrom repo from your/etc/apt/sources.list file [04:34] nickrud: yes it does [04:34] be sure to sudo gedit/nano/vim or whatever into it so you can save changes [04:34] brb [04:34] fredsua: try using file->open disc on the vlc menu [04:34] ok i am in synaptics === edwin_ is now known as EnvoyRising [04:35] ph0rensic, clone an operating Windows partition into a virtualized one without having to install Windows from zero in the virtualized partition. [04:35] I think it might be happening because of 'too many open files' [04:35] where do i do that? [04:35] nickrud: I have used that and nothing. I have every single libdvdcss out there, LOL [04:35] open up a command prompt (or if you already have one open but it's busy, ctrl+alt+t [04:35] fredsua: are you able to view the contents of a data cd? [04:36] then "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [04:36] fredsua: not libdvdcss, it's something at the hardware level. Does the dvd show up on your desktop? [04:36] lgc, yah thats possible from what I understand, with vmware. Basically it will make an appliance of your windows partition to be used in the player [04:36] nickrud: yes I can see the files in the DVD [04:36] ctrl+f then look for CD. comment that line out [04:36] Hi i need help with my wireless network on Ubuntu, i cant get any internet [04:36] chicagonpg_: it could be a fault with the memory - possibly - have you tried testing the sticks individually? [04:36] hey i have a creative zen 4gb i have tried gnomad2 to get my music on there and it isnt working any help? [04:36] nickrud: yes the DVD pops up in the desktop [04:37] deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10.... Nigels no I haven't but that is a very good Idea, I will try that. Thanks [04:37] fredsua: try opening it in totem: totem dvd:// [04:37] chicagonpg_: yes, make sure they're operating at correct voltage etc [04:38] Hi i need help with my wireless network on Ubuntu, i cant get any internet [04:38] ok envoy i have disapbled CDROM in repos [04:38] lets do it again [04:38] dogpigeoncow: dont' forget to sudo apt-get update as well [04:38] the other stuff [04:38] Anyone have any ideas why one of my hard drives formatted in ext3, would suddenly lose it's partition? I see the disk as /dev/hdd but there is no /dev/hdd1 anymore. This drive was part of a software raid 5 using mdadm, somehow ubuntu lost the partition after restarting. When I do fdisk -l, i can see the /dev/hdd1 though??? [04:38] nickrud: I deleted totem since it was giving me the same error. The reason I got rid of it is because I read that VLM is much better [04:38] Nigels I'm kind of a dummy on that how will I know the right voltage? [04:39] fredsua: it's better for dvds, totem has it's uses [04:39] done [04:39] @NigelS thanks, it looks like it's going to work [04:39] tickbee: not a hd genius but does manually mounting produce errors? === devo is now known as Devourer [04:39] chicagonpg_: SPD should configure it but I wouldn't trust it - check out your mem manufacturer's site for exact specs- I would try out each stick individually first though, see if that's it [04:39] fredsua: type mount in a terminal (with the dvd inserted) and tell me what device (dev/) the dvd is mounted as [04:40] nickrud: when I had it, it did not work. I've tried opening movies with Mplayer and others similar and I get the same result [04:40] dogpigeoncow: side not, if ./configure produces errors about a package not being found, make sure you have the "-dev(el)" version of that package installed as well [04:40] brb [04:40] side note* === Johnny is now known as IdleOne [04:40] fredsua: I believe you :) [04:40] Nigels sound like a good plan you have been very helpful [04:41] chicagonpg_: np [04:41] EnvoyRising: trying to mount it manually just gives me an error saying it can't find the device [04:41] hi, how i remove postgresql-8.1?i want to install 8.2 [04:41] EnvoyRising: in either /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [04:41] i cannot open portable USB hdd, http://pastebin.com/d632be116 [04:41] nickrud: I'm not sure so I'll send you the results [04:41] tickbee: that was going to be my next question :-\ [04:41] nickrud: Unable to open 'dvdsimple:///dev/scd0' [04:42] exactly when did it stop recognizing your device?

[04:44] how would someone go about backing up their entire ubuntu system applications and all? [04:44] Also, upon boot, the screen seems set to 640x480. [04:44] any one here in LinuxSouthAustralia? [04:44] crhylove: clt-alt-f2 , sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , clt-alt-f7. Should reset everything to normal for you [04:44] rather than the normal 1280x 1024 [04:44] dogpigeoncow, build-essentials [04:44] nickrud: thanks! [04:45] Hello... I've been having some issues with stuff initializing properly on my computer... my last issue I couldn't get nautilus to run... and it returned a message saying it was a problem with bonobo-activation-server... so I killed bonobo-activation-server and re-ran it... then everything worked properly.... thing is, this keeps occurring... and I'd appreciate any help I could get in figuring out what the root of the problem is, or an [04:45] y possible fixes [04:45] sudo apt-get update && sudo-apt get install build-essentials [04:45] i mean [04:45] E: Couldn't find package build-essentials [04:45] build-essential [04:45] dogpigeoncow: no s on essential [04:45] there's no s [04:45] anyone? [04:45] ooooooh [04:45] yeah, lol [04:45] My Nautilus is crashing chronically. I have a pastebin if anyone thinks they could help me figure out what's going on. [04:45] DoYouKnow: you said essentials ;p [04:46] dogpigeoncow: thats my mistake, dunno why i put an s there. installed the package so many times :P [04:46] nickrud: is posted now [04:46] fredsua: could you tell me the url to look at? [04:46] emma. whats the url? [04:46] after much discovery, there is apparently an extra s at the end of what you said and an "s" lacking in the meat of the word [04:46] hello how to configure my 10 statics ip of my isp? I have 4 NICs...i want to use my static isp [04:46] Does anyone know how to add to the clipboard or see the clipboard via terminal commands?

I just ordered a Wifi Link brand Wifi dongle and I'm a bit worried about it not working on my Ubuntu. Also I'd like to know if Gamebridge works on it, and if not what would work to record gameplay vids? [04:46] EnvoyRising, here it is -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56582/ [04:47] nickrud: sorry, I'm new at this [04:47] envoyrising: but now it doesnt say anything is installed [04:47] any one here in LinuxSouthAustralia? [04:47] fredsua: no problem. And I'm beginning to think I'm stumped. [04:47] anyone? [04:47] dogpigeoncow: so it says 0 packages to install or that the package can't be found? [04:48] 0 packages to install [04:48] fredsua: thinking, sorta [04:48] Does anyone know about that sort of thing? [04:48] It's telling me xserver-xorg is not available, and there is no information available. [04:48] Does anyone know how to add to the clipboard or see the clipboard via terminal commands? [04:48] download a networking tool called 'Dynamips' in a .bin form but when i try to use it it says... 'No app suitable for automatically installing this app' [04:48] what do i do? [04:49] wow it looks like even the ubuntu-pastebin isn't working right. [04:49] anyone know anything about the ubuntu-studio 64bit not working on install? [04:49] nickrud: I ran this software called gxine which does a check of the drive [04:49] dogpigeoncow: then its already installed it woudl seem [04:49] hey, I am installing wine, why do I get this while ./configure : checking for C compiler default output file name [04:49] !info xserver-xorg [04:49] xserver-xorg (source: xorg): the X.Org X server.

[04:49] N6REJ: then what could i use? [04:49] for? [04:49] uhm...how do i switch to super user on fluxbuntu? [04:50] crhylove: no, you have to use that command to reconfigure X [04:50] N6REJ: it only comes in a .bin or a .exe form... and i really need this program called 'Dynmaips' how else could i install it? [04:50] ac 1d i take that back there are some *nix files that are that way too but few [04:50] When I did that it said package doesn't exist. [04:50] @ crhylove try sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.cong [04:50] nickrud: when I run the wizard setup the drive is not found and the DMA is not found [04:50] * xorg.cong [04:50] jeebs sudo [04:50] *xorg.conf [04:50] Though my sound works, there is no output from the headphone jack and SPDIF port. Do I need to compile ALSA from source or is there another alternative? [04:50] crhylove: no, you have to use that command to reconfigure X [04:50] ac1d what is it? [04:50] emma i couldn't really gather anything from pastebin except for the obvious "maybe you're opening too much at once" assumption. anyone else got any ideas? [04:50] I think he means sudo dpkg-reconfigure zxserver-xorg [04:51] nickrud: could be something with the DMA? [04:51] Does anyone know? [04:51] fredsua: yeah, it's about the hardware, and I'm not real good at hardware issues.

[04:51] N6REJ: nope... [04:51] N6REJ: ill have a look [04:51] crhylove: you probably mistyped: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg (or I mistyped, this is spelled correctly) [04:51] and its dynamips [04:51] lol [04:51] Leechzilla: i know i always have to change the output under preferences to headphones to get my stuff working [04:52] N6REJ: gosh, i have great spelling lol [04:52] i assume you've already tried that though [04:52] nickrud: if it was working fine in windows xp, do you really think it would be a hardware problem?

When you describe the error, add the exact error from vlc and from gxine to your question [04:52] ac1d: its ok, we aren't spelling/grammar junkies here [04:52] EnvoyRising: How do I do that? [04:52] fredsua: reading hardware by linux I mean [04:52] It seems unusual that a person could open too much at once. I'm just opening music. But some times I switch between them quickly. Could it be that when you click on music to open it, it doesn't really close the other one so to speak? [04:53] how to install a pdf? so I could view pdf files of ebook and flash player? [04:53] nope only said it so he'd find it int he repo [04:53] Leechzilla: right click on the volume control in the notification area (top right by default) and click preferences [04:53] pam is the pluggable authentication modules framework used by some unix(-ish) systems. it logs unsuccessful screen unlock events but not succesful ones in auth.log. i need succesful ones too. can i replace this pam with the one that does logs? or any other solutions -- ?

[04:54] Wow... nobody at all? [04:54] EnvoyRising: And select Headphones from there? That's it? It's supposed to detect a headphone plugged in instead of me having to do it manually. Not just that, the SPDIF port also doesn't work. [04:54] ac1d: now, that might change once you visit the ubuntu-english-class channel\ [04:54] nickrud: I really like linux ubuntu, but if I can't play a DVD movie on my drive then is worthless [04:54] Overlord_David: what? [04:54] fredsua: ubuntu can play dvd [04:54] * jeebs pounds the keyboard into his face [04:54] How? [04:54] Leechzilla: well, i've had mixed results with mixed hardware. on my desktop it did it automatically, but with this hp laptop (intel hda audio) it didn't [04:54] fredsua: don't take my failure as a letdown, I'm no expert on dvd playback. Others that pass through here know a lot more than I do. [04:54] everyone with their "if I cant X i'm going back to windows..." [04:55] EnvoyRising: I'm using a laptop too [04:55] fredsua: also, you might find some smarter help on #vlc [04:55] As I asked. I ordered a wifi-link (wifi max) wifi dongle. I'm afraid of it not working. Will it work? And also does game bridge work? If not what could I use for ubuntu to make gameplay videos? [04:55] :-) thank you [04:55] Leechzilla: ah. then, i've lever really investigated much further, being i don't often use headphones [04:55] fredsua: get vlc media player, it can play dvds [04:56] nickrud, he has the latest libdvd and all that? [04:56] i'm sure theres a way to automate this [04:56] Overlord_David: have you checked the info at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [04:56] nickrud, I'll try going there now [04:56] Overlord_David: your asking if this new engine your designing will work in your chevy! IDK, nobody does, it depends on the card... check the compatiblity list b4 u buy [04:56] ph0rensic: yes, it's not even seeing his dvd's. None of them are. Errors opening them [04:56] does anyone know how to backup a ubuntu install programs settings included? [04:56] EnvoyRising: Most importantly, it's SPDIF that I really need to get to work [04:56] jrod: are they encoded in ur region? [04:56] I don't really understand that kinda stuff. [04:57] N6REJ: I don't see "adobe" and "FF" words there. I tried to find them [04:57] !flash [04:57] How do I adjust my sound levels?

To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [04:57] EnvoyRising: I see you're discovering the joys of ircing in #ubuntu already [04:57] I often switch between songs but clicking the icons for the songs themselves. Could it be that when I don't let one song finish, and click on another one to start a different one, etc, that this is accumating some how? [04:57] EnvoyRising: Doesn't work for me :[ [04:58] I always assumed that when I cant hear the song playing then it's not open any more. [04:58] Leechzilla: well, i hate to do this, but if no one else can give you a hand, the forums are really good [04:58] its not [04:58] its not at all [04:58] !adobe [04:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about adobe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:58] Leechzilla: though, searching them kind of sucks.. google is better ala site:ubuntuforums.org [04:58] !pdf [04:58] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [04:59] envorising: i needed to install something else to run it called GMP [04:59] dogpigeoncow: gmp? justa sec [04:59] What's a chevy anyway? [04:59] so now im installing GMP and after ./configure i do 'make' and nothing happens [04:59] it doesnt know wat i mean [05:00] * N6REJ *smashs head on keyboard* [05:00] do u have gcc installed? [05:00] dogpigeoncow: you have to install the gmp dev package [05:00] emma in nautilus::: Edit> Preferences> Preview> "Preview sound files:" - Never [05:00] dogpigeoncow: specifically libgmp3-dev [05:00] how? [05:00] Also I don't even know what a wifi dongle would qualify as on that wiki page. [05:01] like you do with all the other packages silly via synaptic OR sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev [05:01] or sudo aptitude lib-gmp3-dev [05:01] i have a 2 partition drive on my laptop from work -- the 2nd partition is like 60 gigs, does an [05:01] ubuntu live CD repartition so I wont lose data on that second partition? I want to repartition and [05:01] put a 20gig Ubuntu install on the 2nd partition [05:01] Is there any way to revert to my entire filesystem back to how it was when I installed it? [05:01] whoa sorry for how broken that is [05:02] qed: the livecd lets you select which partition to instal onto and how much of that partition to dedicate to ubuntu [05:02] hey, I'm having such a hard time right now. I did a fresh install of gutsy, tried doing a binary install of 8.02 radeon drivers, then reverted back and tried using the restricted driver manager to use the proprietary drivers that are in the repository, but it keeps using Mesa! I don't know why it doesn't get the fact I want fglrx [05:02] envoyrising: are those commands the same? [05:02] Overlord_David: if you use a well known wifi card you probably will be fine. You can always check with the manufacturer to see if they have linux drivers [05:02] Anyone have any ideas why one of my hard drives formatted in ext3, would suddenly lose it's partition? I see the disk as /dev/hdd but there is no /dev/hdd1 anymore. This drive was part of a software raid 5 using mdadm, somehow ubuntu lost the partition after restarting. When I do fdisk -l, i can see the /dev/hdd1 though??? [05:02] stay away from belkin [05:02] It isn't a wifi card [05:02] it's a dongle you plug into the USB port. [05:03] now i need sudo GUile 1.8 [05:03] dogpigeoncow: essentially. aptitude just remembers dependencies better so that when you uninstall packages you don't have a whole bunch of extra packages left over. supposedly apt-get does this nowadays, but i'm not sure how well [05:03] Overlord_David: dude it is a card!! what do you think is in that dongle?? [05:03] It's designed specificly for things like a PSP or Nintendo DS. [05:03] apt-get is the defacto though, so i'd go with that one since you're more familiar with it [05:03] Heck if I know. hah [05:03] Overlord_David: kk, so you want to use a psp dev on a pc? [05:03] *** Liquid War 6 needs Guile 1.8 ( [05:03] now? [05:03] yeah so I can use X-link Kai [05:04] but I also use Vonage [05:04] Does anyone know how to add to the clipboard or see the clipboard via terminal commands? [05:04] Overlord_David: why not jsut use a reg wifi card? [05:04] how can i update my repositories? For instance i want to download and install KDE 4 but if i go to add/remove programs i only see older versions [05:04] trying to save $$? [05:04] install that dev package s well dogpigeoncow :( [05:04] so instead of getting a second router with wireless [05:04] because they don't seem to have phone jacks [05:04] this seemed to be the cost effective way. [05:04] yes i know but wat is the command for that? isnt it also some fancy name with nubmers? [05:04] as it was 10 bucks. [05:05] where do i find the name to use in code [05:05] hey guys how do i see what scripts load when ubuntu starts [05:05] wth??? wait a minute what are you talking about lol now you've got me totally lost..... [05:05] you have access to your synaptic yet? [05:05] you've already bought the device? [05:05] !apt [05:05] 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) [05:05] so just to clarify, as i understand it, ubuntu comes with partition tools to repartition an existing partition with data on it to prevent data loss, and still install ubuntu assuming enough free space exists? [05:05] is this correct? [05:05] prince_jammys, oooooh.. That makes a lot of sense. That could really be it! [05:05] prince_jammys, how do you know all of these things?? [05:05] emma i am a google master :) [05:06] Is there a good tutorial or article about remote desktop (for accessing & to access) for Ubuntu? [05:06] emma googled ubuntu flac too many open files [05:06] how do i see what starts up when ubuntu starts [05:06] prince_jammys: lmao i suppose i always assume people have already tried google before coming here [05:06] prince_jammys, i really did look around on google for this one, but you must have really looked in the right place. [05:06] It basicly plugs into my hard wired PC and sends a wireless signal from that. If vonage sold wireless routers with phone jacks this wouldn't have came up. As my computer can also receive wireless signal. [05:06] emma i know, the flac is what did it [05:07] Magishen, under System > Admin > services [05:07] emma you have been unlucky [05:07] flac is a sound codec, right? [05:07] emma finding all the bugs [05:07] prince_jammys, i was googling: nautilus ubuntu crash and then for a while: nautilus ubuntu external hard drive. [05:07] hello [05:07] hi mcalautt what you need? [05:07] so just to clarify, as i understand it, ubuntu comes with partition tools to repartition an existing partition with data on it to prevent data loss, and still install ubuntu assuming enough free space exists? [05:07] was installing server edition [05:07] prince_jammys, yeah from my perspective Feisty was so much better :) But I have to believe people when everyone is saying Gutsy is better. [05:07] emma i know, it was the flac that brought up the post [05:08] emma: with google, too vague of searches gets you no where. usually, if you type in the exact error, you'll find an answer pretty quick [05:08] emma you have been exceptionally unlucky [05:08] skipped over my network card .. said it wasnt detected. [05:08] I always kind of thought I was exceptionally unlucky.. [05:08] Does anyone know when I start ubuntu why it freezes within like 15 seconds.. is there anyway i can stop this? [05:08] emma lol [05:08] emma: in fact, i usually just cut and paste from the command line the error i get and get brought to the exact post [05:09] *nods* you guys really have a knack of this. [05:09] Anyone have any ideas why one of my hard drives formatted in ext3, would suddenly lose it's partition? I see the disk as /dev/hdd but there is no /dev/hdd1 anymore. This drive was part of a software raid 5 using mdadm, somehow ubuntu lost the partition after restarting. When I do fdisk -l, i can see the /dev/hdd1 though??? [05:09] need help getting my movie DVDs to work [05:09] whats the easiest way of installing the KDE desktop enviorment [05:09] Magishen, heres a good read where to look for apps & services that run during startup http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Speed-up_Ubuntu [05:09] KiD_ChAoS: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [05:09] sup guys [05:10] Someoen just helped me with this the other day, do'h. How do I add a user to a group? I'm trying to run VirtualBox but the user needs root privledges [05:10] EnvoyRising, will that install all the components to? like my wifi manager and all that [05:10] was installing server edition and it skipped over my network card .. said it wasnt detected... its a known card.. 3com 3c509. do I need a driver disk or something ? [05:10] KiD_ChAoS: yeah, just install and log out, then click kde from sessions [05:11] Though my sound works, there is no output from the headphone jack and SPDIF port. Do I need to compile ALSA from source or is there another alternative to get the latest version? [05:11] u can use usermod to add a user to a groujp [05:11] EnvoyRising, ok [05:11] usermod -G [05:11] thank you EnvoyRising === macogw_ is now known as macogw [05:12] Alright thanks a lot exst_mhua im gonna restart and see if this works.. [05:12] Magishen, np [05:14] KiD_ChAoS: np [05:15] finally settled down in here, lol [05:15] Hey all, is Hardy stable enough to use yet? [05:16] hei guys any recommendations for a great theme like Ubuntu-satanic edition like that [05:16] Last I tried it, I believe XGL was broken (some gtk sudo permissions error?) [05:16] If only there was a hard drive/fs guru :( [05:16] Ububegin, I love the Murrine engine and MurrineLoveGray [05:16] This is really the page that seems to have people with a similar problem as me -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=592626&page=3 [05:16] so that's good that Ubuntu is aware of this. [05:16] what kind of shell is goin to use on remote machine we we use "rsh"? [05:16] emma some general google tips: start with the word "ubuntu" -- paste a chunk of the literal error message (try both within quotes and without) -- if a long error message doesnt work, just a piece that you think is descriptive -- and if that doesnt work, a keyword of what you're doing when the error happens (ie. mounting, playing music) ... [05:16] emma yes, thats the page [05:16] tickbee: yeah, sorry man. you lost me at raid :( [05:17] erudified: engine.... i am just looking for a visual theme... [05:17] emma but it only turned up early with the keyword "flac" included [05:17] EnvoyRising: ya, the problem is i don't know if it's the raid that screwed it up, or ubuntu [05:17] Yes, GTK has theme engines [05:17] Murrine uses Cairo for drawing, so it's fast if you have compositing [05:17] and it looks great, especially with G-Flat SVG icons ; [05:17] tickbee: you could always try running a livecd and see if its recognized. that would at least let you know that its a config problem and not hardware failure [05:18] erudfied: hmm, maybe worth a look... tks [05:18] Ububegin: what theme are you looking for? [05:18] emma anyway it doesnt seem that the sound preview thing is fully reliable , but maybe it works [05:18] how can I get shell name - get name of the shell (bash - csh ,etc) thatm I'm using now ? [05:18] What version of the FGLRX driver is currently in Hardy? [05:18] emma that definitely qualifies as a bug [05:18] something like satanic edition... where they change everything like sound, artwork and so forth... [05:18] Owner: "ps" will show it [05:19] Last time I tried it, XGL was broken and AIGLX was slow as hell [05:19] Owner: without any arguments it just shows whats running in that shell [05:19] EnvoyRising: it's worth trying, though I'd still be effectively stuck, I have a feeling it's not hardware failure, everything looks fine in fdisk -l, and mdadm is finicky enough that it most likely then not, is part of the problem [05:19] emma notice that the bonobo thing appears in the same thread [05:19] oh yeah [05:19] carpediem: something like satanic edition... where they change everything like sound, artwork and so forth... [05:19] tickbee: i know you say mounting fails but have you tried a forced mount? [05:19] Ububegin: no such thing, as far as I know. I could be wrong, but most of the time themes are specific to one part of the overall system [05:20] carpediem, check out gnome-look.org - like I said, I use the Murrine engine, MurrineLoveGray, and the G-Flat SVG Icon themes, with Kiba dock [05:20] carpediem: Oh, so Ubuntu Satanic is currently the only one... :O [05:20] prince_jammys: geez, i thought they were deprecating bonobo anyways :-\ [05:20] if your card supports compositing, it's silly nasty omg fast ;) [05:20] EnvoyRising: i dont know what it is [05:20] EnvoyRising: even forcing it still gives it an error that it can't find it [05:20] Firefox 3.0b3 is recommended too, it integrates really really nicely with your gnome icon theme [05:20] Heya, I was wondering if anyone in here has gotten q3.nrg to mount successfully ? [05:20] erudified: he said something that includes new sounds. I've tried every single theme on gnome-look, and as I said, no such thing I know of [05:21] pam is the pluggable authentication modules framework used by some unix(-ish) systems. it logs unsuccessful screen unlock events but not succesful ones in auth.log. i need succesful ones too. can i replace this pam with the one that does logs? or any other solutions -- ? [05:21] EnvoyRising: it's all really weird, if the partition didn't show up in fdisk -l, i would think something with the hardware is up, but since it shows up fine, and everything looks right, i just don't see what differentiates it from any of my other hard drives which have no problem showing up [05:21] carpediem, I guess you didn't click the "SYSTEM SOUNDS" button eh? ;) [05:22] Oi I restarted and I noticed the file where I can go to my windows documents is gone and ubuntu keeps freezing :l [05:22] in which file can I set environment variables for all user for sh shell ? [05:22] tickbee: damn, i'm stumped. **flashes the hd guru man signal and waits for help** [05:24] EnvoyRising: lol, well thanks for the suggestions anyways, i hate problems like this, i don't even know what to google for, it's such an obscure problem, looking for "detect disk but not partition" and things like it gives me nothing useful [05:24] irc was my last bastion of hope [05:24] wheres java located [05:24] sun java [05:24] which java [05:25] jay-oh-en: or if which shows nothing "locate java" [05:25] is it possible to share a unionfs directory via nfs kernel server? [05:25] Does anyone know how to add to the clipboard or see the clipboard via terminal commands? [05:25] tickbee: i hear ya. i just hate when people come here and CAN'T find help. back of my head i'm thinkin "darn, and thats one of the few things we have over microsoft" [05:26] tickbee: you have a device that you can see with fdisk -l but you cant mount it? [05:26] Does anyone have any ideas why Ubuntu keeps freezing on me? It keeps freezing, the only thing I can move is the mouse..anyone? [05:26] simps: right click [05:26] few things? hahah, I guess you haven't tried vista ;) [05:26] prince_jammys: yes, it shows up fine in fdisk -l, /dev/hdd and /dev/hdd1, but when i look in /dev, i only see /dev/hdd [05:27] Anyone know how to get a Nvidia 8800 Card working in Ubuntu? I am new to Ubuntu....but it appears that the system is not detecting my card....I found instructions on Google that did not seem to help me...I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and AMD64 bit edition...... [05:27] erudified: i was assuming that vista wasn't in the consideration as a representation of windows, as much as kde4 isn't a representation of kde or linux :P [05:27] prince_jammys: fdisk -l see's all my disks fine, no problems whatsoever, but trying to mount or do anything with /dev/hdd1, all i get is device not found errors [05:27] fyi vista came preinstalled on this laptop [05:27] Magishen, but i want it so that i can type a command and it'll show the clipboard [05:27] prince_jammys, yep I think it's a bug. I posted a message to the last person there, because they still think they have to logout completely to fix it. I found you can open a terminal and type killall nautilus and that fixes it as long as restarting does, but without having to interupt any apps. [05:27] Can someone tell me if I just completely borked my install, i just uninstalled ldap on my server while i was logged in as a client [05:27] and i have no other users on my install besides root [05:28] but I can't login as root [05:28] emma hope it works ... it made sense because i remember you mentioning that you had a lot of music on one drive [05:28] !alsa [05:28] 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 [05:28] EnvoyRising, Same thing applies to XP - no real shell, circa 1995 UI, weakest file manager on any platform, etc [05:28] is there a way I can keep track of what a program does in the terminal? I'm trying to figure out what makes the "EJECT" emblem come up when I hit the eject key. I want to make the same emblem come up in a bash script I'm making [05:28] erudified: true. lmao.. imagine my surprise trying to grep on cmd [05:28] Well a goodly amount. 1.7 Gigs in one directory. [05:28] The only thing any version of windows has going for it is Office and the Adobe suite [05:29] erudified: but they have crysis :P [05:29] Yeah, games, but I think most people have a console nowadays [05:29] Anyone have any idea if i can get back into my system [05:29] Anyone know how to get a Nvidia 8800 Card working in Ubuntu? I am new to Ubuntu....but it appears that the system is not detecting my card....I found instructions on Google that did not seem to help me...I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and AMD64 bit edition...... [05:29] erudified: second [05:29] Except FPS/RTS folks I suppose [05:29] tickbee: have you tried mounting it thru fstab? [05:29] erudified: let us also keep in mind i was speaking specifically on a community/customer service point of view [05:30] speaking of file manager >when will gnome fix the horrible file chooser dialog [05:30] ? [05:30] prince_jammys: yes, that's how I was normally mounting it, then one time when i restarted, it didn't mount, and hasn't mounted ever since [05:30] hehehe, I like the type-ahead find in the gnome file dialog [05:30] prince_jammys, something else I read there sounded like maybe Nautilus starts the preview on mouseover, which would make sense since I putz around with the mouse while I'm sitting here listening, my mouse really goes everywhere. [05:30] help please [05:31] can i login as root somehow? [05:31] as for the person asking about the 8800, download the nvidia proprietary drivers and restart [05:31] emma yeah [05:31] !root [05:31] 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 [05:31] emma, check out the nautilus scripts on gnome-look, maybe you can find a replacement? [05:31] and what the hell are audio previews, any way? [05:31] tickbee how is it identified in fstab? as /dev/blah or UUID? [05:31] EnvoyRising: I believe it's in GTK so you would have to change that manually. [05:31] I think it's a gnome/nautilus thing, not a gtk thing (could be wrong though) [05:32] anyone using a Nvidia 8800 GTS card with Ubuntu? How did you get it to work properly??? [05:32] EnvoyRising: I take it you are talking about the GTKFileChooser or whatever [05:32] dehspehl: ha, like the dev team would even accept that as a patch... "but it's too complicated for users" they'd say [05:32] Can anyone tell me why Gimp 2.2 hangs at the search for plug-ins in version 6.06 (Dapper)? [05:32] dehspehl: yes i am [05:32] EnvoyRising, what's wrong with it? [05:32] I don't really like the left pane myself [05:32] How can I update my alsa to the latest version without compiling it from source? I can get it from hardy repositories or something? [05:32] hello there, how to change the dual boot menu? i wanna make my xp the as the primary and make my ubuntu as my secondary.. and how to change the time delay? [05:33] prince_jammys: Ok, backstory, it's not mounted directly, it's mounted as part of a /dev/md0 device that uses /dev/hdd1, /dev/hde1, /hdev/hdg1, and that uses /dev/md0 uses a UUID loaded from a mdadm.conf [05:33] I do prefer it to the windows file dialog simply because of the type-ahead find, but in the file path text box, if you put in a directory and hit enter the dialog doesn't switch to that dir, and that is The Suck [05:33] tickbee: ah [05:33] erudified: the pane, the lack of a tree view [05:34] prince_jammys: all three of those, hdd1, hde1, hdg1 show up fine in fdisk -l, hde1 and hdg1 show up in the /dev folder, but hdd1 does not [05:34] EnvoyRising, It may actually be gconf-editable, worth looking into [05:34] just seems lacking in features compared to kde's [05:34] EnvoyRising: that's why you have to replace it manually. keeping forks and patches are common in open source, but at least they are possible [05:34] here is a question i've been wondering, when installing new software and it comes with dependencies, when uninstalling said software, it doesn't remove the dependencies that it installed. is there any way to get rid of anything safely? [05:34] prince_jammys: so when it goes to mount /dev/md0 at startup, it can't find /dev/hdd1, it only sees the other 2 [05:34] *everything not anything [05:35] I used to be a KDE user, but they've kinda jumped the shark with KDE4... I go for more of a minimalist desktop, not lacking in eye candy (I love the cube/scale compiz effects, and they're silly fast) but there's minimal screen real estate wasted [05:35] dehspehl: i should count my blessings that at least i can change things manually instead of having to wait 3 years for a release that botches it up futher, huh? (**cough, vista** cough) [05:35] the new KDE dock/menu just eat wayyy to much screen for my taste [05:35] prince_jammys: i'm pretty confident "wiping" out the hard drives would fix it so they detect again, but after i setup the raid again, i will most likely be back to square 1 [05:35] I'm sure it'll get much better though [05:35] I like how compositing is more integral to the desktop [05:35] erudified: no, it won't [05:35] erudified: i like e17 myself. i cant wait until that gets into a usable state [05:36] Yeah, E17 is philosophically where I want to be [05:36] erudified: i could never use KVM because everything is way too big for me. :P [05:36] erudified: but someone will make a replacement or we can keep around legacy apps (legacy apps that just so happen to be half of the DE) [05:36] tickbee: i see. i'm not familiar with that mounting setup. [05:36] EnvoyRising: personally I don't care much for file chooser [05:36] prince_jammys: not sure if your familiar with mdadm, but it seems to me, that's there's nothing i can do using mdadm to reassemble it until it can actually SEE the /dev/hdd1 partition, and not being able to see that partition in /dev makes me think something outside of mdadm is affecting it [05:36] The KDE guys aren't dumb, they're getting the APIs right [05:37] prince_jammys: :( well, thanks for trying at least [05:37] how to get calender settings in thunderbird [05:37] when it's all ironed out they'll start to really pull ahead of GNOME again I think, then GNOME will put out 3.0 ;) [05:37] EnvoyRising: its plenty usable [05:37] erudified: what's wrong with gnome? [05:37] tickbee: yeah i'm sorry. i'll probably end up learning about that setup by watching what happens with you :) [05:37] It's not quite configurable enough for my taste [05:38] is it just me or are DEs going back to the idea of "lots of space to put xterms in" [05:38] I don't really like gnome-terminal very much either, or rhythmbox [05:38] macogw: not on its own. the file manager is beyond unstable [05:38] not to mention way too simplistic [05:38] erudified: didn't know gnome and kde had different terms [05:38] EnvoyRising, You might like http://rox.sf.net/ [05:38] uh oh desktop war [05:38] prince_jammys: lol, everything was working beautifully, until *poof* one time i restarted, and now i have this odd error of a "ghost" partition that's there but not there [05:38] Yeah, I much prefer konsole and juk [05:39] prince_jammys: hardly. i certaintly don't mean it to be anyways [05:39] prince_jammys: it's worse than that [05:39] Nah, I mean, I don't really use KDE or GNOME [05:39] I use gnome-session [05:39] lol [05:39] How do I find out what version of ubuntu I'm using? [05:39] go kde [05:39] prince_jammys: i'm not saying "gnome sucks" or "kde sucks" [05:39] t0ny-p40: cat /etc/issue [05:39] Nautilus is way too slow for me... I use Rox to manage the root window and Kiba-dock for a task manager/start menu [05:39] t0ny-p40: i think... [05:39] thanks dehspehl [05:39] EnvoyRising: oh. i dont use file managers. [05:39] EnvoyRising: i know, just kidding [05:40] I probably use compiz window grouping more than anyone alive lol [05:40] macogw: console only? [05:40] macogw: hard core command line person yeah? [05:40] lol console only desktop [05:40] EnvoyRising: yes [05:40] funny [05:40] prince_jammys: ^ [05:40] i use them les and less myself [05:41] erudified: nautilus slow? are you kidding me? do you remember xp/vista? [05:41] AtomicSpark, try using Rox for a few minutes [05:41] Nautilus is dead slow ;) it blocks when generating previews, etc [05:42] where can I find information about creating diverts in debs? [05:42] macogw: maybe some day i'll be as good as you then, but i'm spoiled :| at least with file operations [05:42] Hi. Do they exist a program to view powerpoint .pss and .ppt that don't require wine? (I only know PPTView and he require it..) [05:43] i did go through a "command line only web browsing is the sh**" phase for about a week thioguh, lol [05:43] CrazyPhil_: open office should beable to open them. :\ not sure. [05:43] CrazyPhil_: open offic or koffice [05:43] AtomicSpark: your'e right [05:43] erudified: i haven't found a single non trivial app that doesn't block on images and etc [05:43] a google for things like "apt divert" and "dpkg divert" didn't turn up much useful [05:44] erudified: so explain this blocking of previews? [05:44] dehspehl, ones that spawn separate threads and load the previews lazily allow you to do whatever you want while previews are getting generated [05:44] Open office open them in "editing" mode.. :\ I am looking for a slide show mode.. maybe an open office option? [05:44] CrazyPhil_-> you can put the openoffice into slide mode after [05:44] Nautilus just freezes while it loads however many image previews are in the dir [05:44] is it ok to used firestarter as my firewall? [05:44] erudified: well perhaps my box just sucks at multithreaded and it's really the time to fork [05:45] amenado, ok! ty :) [05:45] erudified: err, the time it takes to fork is what I'm noticing [05:45] How can I restart/reset a comm port? Every couple of weeks my external modem appears to be busy to Ubuntu. Even when I disconnect the modem, kppp tells me it is busy, so it seems to be a software issue? [05:45] hello shashi sir [05:45] erudified: huh. havent seen this problem. :P maybe i'm not stressing it enough. [05:45] dehspehl, it doesn't matter how long it takes to init the thread or fork or whatever [05:45] I'm having trouble booting. Specifically, it takes 10 minutes to boot. I tried bootchart, but its before bootcharg loads as bootchart shows only 23s or so. "Starting up..." appears for 10 minutes before it actually boots. If I disable ACPI, it boots up quickly. [05:45] does anyone know how i can speed up a build other than make -jn [05:45] ? [05:45] help! i need to install 'Dynamips' but... i can only find a .bin and a source file... so how do i compile things from source? [05:45] AtomicSpark, download 3000+ images, stick them in a directory, browse to it, change a few, upload it, etc, it becomes obvious quickly [05:46] manage images with subversion and update, half the directory changes, etc [05:46] hmm. makes sense. [05:46] it does the same thing with text file previews, it's less noticable though [05:46] compiling source code in Ubuntu how do i do it? [05:46] +compile | ac1d [05:47] where is this located... System->Preferences->Appearance ... is this gutsy..but i have fiesty.. so where can i find it [05:47] and, uh, i feel like text file previews are pretty retarded anyways so I just turn them off =( [05:47] !compile | ac1d [05:47] ac1d: Compiling software from source?

[05:50] liran: do you have pcre in your /root/httpd-2.2.8/srclib directory? [05:51] what is the default root passwod atfer the install of ubuntu ?

[05:51] towlie, don't forget to bring a toweeeel [05:51] plong0: yes there is a dir called pcre in srclib [05:51] need help compiling this file here: http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/dynamips/dynamips-0.2.7.tar.gz [05:51] please help [05:51] lol [05:51] is he talking to ubotu? lols [05:51] liran, it has the configure file in it? [05:51] Ububegin: :) sorry [05:51] i set up ubuntu with an encrypted partition but i forgot the encryption password... [05:52] towlie, happens to me all the time lol [05:52] towlie: you're sol sorry. :) [05:52] plong0: nop [05:52] liran, that is your problem then [05:52] sol because its encrypted ? [05:52] ac1d: did you read the link? [05:52] plong0: why its empty then? i downloaded the source from apache website [05:52] liran, what is inside of that directory? [05:52] plong0: nothing [05:52] towlie: without the password there is nothing you can do, that's the entire point of encryption [05:52] prince_jammys: yeah nway i followed this page.... http://happylinuxthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/10/ubuntu-satanic-edition.html.... hmm, wat went wrong... though the visuals look impressive... [05:52] how do i make a wine application go in full screen? currently my top and bottom bar are overtop of it [05:52] ok [05:53] liran: have you looked at the docs in the build directory? [05:53] prince_jammys: yeap, i did, i dont understand im still to much of a linux newb [05:54] man this sucks. i can't get ubuntu to work in kvm now. [05:54] ac1d what is that package you are trying to install? [05:54] liran, you could maybe try downloading the pcre modules from pcre.org (make sure you get the write version!) and extracting them to that directory [05:54] Vista could have been pretty awesome if they'd made WinFS as cool as it sounded and incorporated Interix (basically a Unix kernel running alongside NT) [05:54] @AtomicSpark i'm building Ubuntu from source, and I know I can use make -jn, but I'm wondering if there's another way [05:54] And that Monad shell, that sounded kickass too [05:54] plong0: thanks i will try [05:54] liran, if you don't need pcre, you could comment that line out.... or maybe read the docs, there is probably a command line option to disable it [05:54] Instead they left everything that was remotely interesting out of it and added ribbons to office [05:55] ./configure --help|grep pcre [05:55] * TurtleOfDoom actually likes the ribbons [05:55] Ububegin: this theme - is it a login theme? [05:55] * AtomicSpark likes the ribbons too [05:55] hahaha [05:55] prince_jammys: im trying to get Dynamips working [05:55] * AtomicSpark some of them... somtimes finding something is hard [05:55] ac1d: basically sudo provides user access to things that normally require a root password, on a user or command basis, as configured. In ubuntu, the first user has rights to run everything, with his/her own password [05:55] prince_jammys: I can conly find source tho [05:55] I didn't make any ribbon value judgements ;) I just feel the other stuff was a bit more... integral [05:55] prince_jammys: login, gnome, screensaver and etc... all together... [05:56] how can i extract tar.gz to the same directory that im on ?

[06:00] i [06:00] prince_jammys: see if it works [06:00] erudified: ah, that's really really old :) [06:00] ac1d: try installing it now [06:00] ahh, 2.22 is newer than 2.6? hehe [06:00] 2.06 I guess === marcial is now known as own1x [06:01] erudified: read that way, yes [06:01] plong0, were you the one who said I was sol cause i forgot my password ? [06:01] prince_jammys: i did the apt-get but now how do i get into it? [06:01] towlie, no, I was the one who reminded you to bring a towel [06:01] help with starting my RAID array, anyone? [06:01] is there a bash command that will display your current kernal build? [06:01] own1x: uname -a [06:01] Would anyone here know how to get SDL working with Anjuta? [06:01] nickrud, can you comment on fglrx/xgl? Last I tried hardy, it seemed to use aiglx and maybe the xrender drawing backend? It was much much slower than xgl/fglrx on 7.10 [06:01] lol [06:01] ac1d: check to see if you have something new inside your menus [06:01] im back in ubuntu [06:01] thanks [06:01] nickrud: uname -a [06:01] erudified: not in hardy, no [06:01] anyone know why a unionfs directory cannot be exported with nfs??? whats the problem with this? [06:02] xgl wouldn't work at all (some gtk sudo error) [06:02] n2diy: lol [06:02] ac1d: probably in "internet" [06:02] jeez, it took me forever to remember GL was not just openGL but also good luck [06:02] prince_jammys: nope [06:02] does gnome use internet or networking in the menus? [06:02] menu names [06:02] erudified: but I did find that the aiglx in the fglrx from ati sucked [06:03] nickrud: wrong nick, right answer, :) [06:03] ac1d: mmm [06:03] prince_jammys: when i ran the apt-get it says 'dynamips is already the newest version.' [06:03] Yeah, very disappointing [06:03] ac1d: ah you had it installed already [06:03] n2diy: I read my post three times, looking for the error. [06:03] try typing --> dynamips [06:04] nickrud: things move fast here. === edwin_ is now known as EnvoyRising [06:04] prince_jammys: did that [06:04] ac1d: did anything happen? [06:04] ok, so now i have a question, what would case me to get automatically logged out every few hours or so? [06:04] prince_jammys: nup, but im trying a 'remove' then 'install' it again [06:04] ac1d i dont think you need to [06:05] Whenever I attempt to start a song in amarok or kaffeine, it just freezes. I downloaded the newest version of ALSA, still nothin [06:05] Would anyone here know how to get SDL working with Anjuta? [06:05] I am having problems mounting some usb flash drives in gutsy, specifically ones with fat or fat32 but other drives that are the same filesystem work can someone help me? [06:05] ac1d: if you're removing for a reinstall, do a 'complete removal' in synaptic, or sudo apt-get remove --purge (that gets configuration files as well) [06:05] nickrud: do you know anything about that package? [06:06] prince_jammys: enough to know it's about cisco :) [06:06] hello there, how to change the dual boot menu? i wanna make my xp as the primary and make my ubuntu as my secondary.. and how to change the time delay? [06:06] alanna, check if the song is not corrupted, or try other working songs to see if the player is not broken [06:06] nickrud: he installed it, doesnt appear in the menus, wants to access it [06:06] prince_jammys: still not working :( [06:06] hello...i installed an ldap server on ubuntu...and after reboot...it locks up on boot and drops to a terminal login..can someone aid? [06:06] nickrud: know how to remove the dependencies if the program installed added them (not being used by another)? [06:06] prince_jammys: no idea where it is [06:06] i am trying to compile ettercap because the repos have a stripped down version. i tried "make" but am getting this error make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. I am in correct directory with makefile in there [06:06] prince_jammys: any docs probably would be in /usr/share/doc/ [06:07] exst_mhua: nope, the songs are working and I tried other songs. Could it be because I don't have an mp3 decoder? [06:07] ogre, you have to ./configure first. besides that, you should make sure you're in the correct directory [06:07] AtomicSpark: if they aren't used by anything else, sudo apt-get autoremove should do it [06:07] alanna, that's possible [06:07] ogre: try ./make [06:07] EnvoyRising: already did ./configure [06:07] ac1d: yes, read what nickrud said::: also try typing dyn(and then the tab key to see if it autocompletes) [06:07] i installed u-server, then installed ubuntustudio-video, but I have no desktop what is the quickest way to install a desktop, (gnome is fine, just don't want all the apps, like openoffice [06:08] n2diy: no luck [06:08] nickrud: wow thanks. i just removed 100mb worth of crap lol [06:08] CarlFK: use the Alternate CD [06:08] ogre: and no errors [06:08] CarlFK, installing gnome-panel ought to get most of the desktop [06:09] prince_jammys: yeap dynamips is in there [06:09] how do I check if my system detects my harddrives? (ie, how do I look at my IDE bus) [06:09] CarlFK, gnome-panel, nautilus, and maybe apt-cache search gnome-session and get any session management packages [06:09] ogre: try sudo ./make? [06:09] prince_jammys: got a couple of changelog.debian.gz files and suc [06:09] ac1d: what kind of files are they? [06:09] CarlFK: sudo apt-get install xorg metacity gnome-panel (yeah, gnome-panel seems a good entrypoint for gnome) [06:09] EnvoyRising: that must be it. for some reason its saying i need libpcap but I already have it [06:09] prince_jammys: readme.debian [06:09] Jigs: get ur answer yet? [06:09] n2diy: its saying no such file or dir [06:09] ac1d: try ::: man dynamips (or whatever the exact name is) [06:10] prince_jammys: okay [06:10] i g2g but i shall try again after tafe [06:10] ac1d: readme.debian is always a good start [06:10] prince_jammys: thanks tho [06:10] alanna, this might help w/ your problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520036 [06:10] prince_jammys: i shall try [06:10] not yet sir by am am reading now in the forum looking for answer [06:10] ogre: did you install build-dev? [06:11] ogre: try installing libpcap-dev [06:11] thnaks guys [06:11] build-essential ? [06:11] Judy Garland? [06:11] Jigs: just edit your menu.lst in /boot/grub [06:11] ogre: you'll need the libpcap-dev package [06:11] is there any command that return shell Name that we are currently work (just return the shell name nothing else) [06:11] Jigs: and its better to direct you answer at the person u are talking to. [06:11] ok ty [06:12] hi, my ubuntu install is completely hosed, and the install CD requires a reformat. Is this the place to get help? [06:12] n2diy: ahh its libpcap-dev that im missing. im almost positive [06:12] Owner_: what do you mean by the shell name? like bash? [06:12] sorry dont have an idea... how to make it yellow :D [06:12] ac1d check this:::: http://7200emu.hacki.at/viewtopic.php?p=18350&sid=1887977156ddb87a151ed819f6826d48 [06:12] ogre: GL [06:12] nickrud yes [06:12] ruby-lang was scary [06:12] Jigs: just start typing there nic and hit tab should autocomplete their name for u [06:12] Owner: env | grep SHELL [06:12] they're so...unfriendly [06:12] mkquist: ok thats the secret thnx [06:13] i guess they all can't be ubuntu-like communities **sigh** [06:13] Jigs: np... =) [06:13] sounds like they're debian types [06:13] ok thx [06:13] orph_: this would be that place [06:13] what's wrong with debian, nickrud? [06:13] greycat is wrong with #debian lol [06:13] I've been flaming that guy since 96 [06:13] plong0: not debian, #debian. Should have been specific [06:13] mkquist: sir another question... is grub had trouble with NTFS format in dual boot system? [06:13] ohh [06:13] lol [06:14] uh oh... flame war? [06:14] I've never been [06:14] hahaha [06:14] nah he's a good guy [06:14] should I? [06:14] I just like to screw with him [06:14] mkquist: got an error 18 last yesterday [06:14] mkquist: yesterday i mean [06:14] Jigs, that means she was too young [06:14] Jigs: im not sure what you mean 'is grub had trouble with NTFS format in dual boot system?'... not usually, linux will usually see the other install, but sometimes it does need help... is that what you mean? [06:15] ldap install issue...part 2...after rebooting the master ldap server, the system hangs at the following "Starting kernel log daemon" [06:15] can someone help? [06:15] ooh ooh flame war! whats the topic this time? [06:15] Jigs: if it booted before, then it should still boot. [06:15] Jigs: has it booted windows before for you? [06:15] EnvoyRising, sex kittens who forget to wear mittens === Jafk is now known as Javid [06:16] mkquist: yes, but after i installed xubuntu then restart then updated then start, problem came out... grub error 18 [06:16] can i boot ubuntu off a cd? [06:16] mkquist: okay, so i don't want ot reformat and my dependencies are totally messed up. glib seeems to have missing symbols, gconftool-2 fails, half the .debs are removed and the other half failed to install or remove [06:16] plong0: oh. i know nothing of the mitten-less kitten variety. i'll sit thisone out [06:16] anrky, yes [06:16] or does it have to be installed? [06:16] plong0: lol, no help, but funny =p [06:16] anrky: yes [06:16] anrky: yes [06:16] orph_: what did you do? [06:16] anrky: releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 , get the desktop cd [06:17] mkquist: tried to update to gutsy from a system i've been updating since breezy [06:17] has anyone got Kontact to work with exchange? evolution can why Kontact? [06:17] ok, so i just download it, burn it on cd, and i can boot from it, without installing it or anything [06:17] I cannot mount a fat32 usb hard drive it says invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume does any1 know how to fix this? === Pinky is now known as ls [06:17] anrky: yes [06:17] mkquist: it was a functioning feisty before the mess [06:17] cool...thanks! [06:17] anrky: it will boot on most systems. Ones with really recent video cards might not run, or other recent hardware [06:17] anrky: there will be a desktop icon to install it if you want to [06:17] has anyone got Kontact to work with exchange? evolution can why Kontact? [06:18] i rather just boot from d [06:18] KiD_ChAoS: I don't use either of them, try korganizer? [06:18] cd* [06:18] orph_: wow thats a load, I'd say at this point it would probably be quicker to just back up ur stuff and install gutsy. I mean you could probably fix it, but it would probably take longer to sort it out. [06:18] KiD_ChAoS: possibly because no one's written a plugin for kontact? [06:18] anrky: I made a usb thumbdrive boot ubuntu. it was cool. [06:18] atleast till i'm really comfortable with it [06:18] a thumbdrive? [06:18] mkquist: there's no --ignore-depends-and-reinstall-the-world option to dpkg? :-) [06:19] do you need something special for that? [06:19] nickrud, write me a plugin real quick... [06:19] anrky: it has been my experience you'll never get really comfortable with it till you "take the plunge" so to speak and load it full time [06:19] KiD_ChAoS: a plugin [06:19] anyone I know its now hard to do i just need to find out how to mount the drive? [06:19] lol [06:19] yeah it took a bit of work to get going... there was a tutorial. I'd suggest just go for the standard CD/DVD edition for now. [06:19] i know what you mean, but i just wanna give it a test drive first, know what i mean? [06:19] yeah [06:20] MagoonD: sudo mount [06:20] have you ever used linux before? [06:20] or a mac? [06:20] i've used unix [06:20] did webhosting [06:20] worked with unix servers [06:20] oh k... so you know your way around the terminal a bit then? [06:20] mkquist: ryt now am using ubuntu in this machine... in my other machine, am trying to install ubuntu but no luck it always stop in 57% when installing.. so i planned to install it with xubuntu.. and it was successfully.. xp and xubuntu installed nicely, but after xubuntu updated, grub 18 error came out to that machine [06:20] MagoonD: did you ever have that drive mounting automatically? [06:20] yea [06:20] EnvoyRising, how do I find out the partion and mount point [06:20] EnvoyRising: heres is the output for ./configure http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56587/ [06:20] that's definitely a big head start on most people [06:21] i bet...lol [06:21] you might find ubuntu coddles you a bit :P [06:21] nickrud, no I did not but in win xp it works fine [06:21] its formatted as fat32 [06:21] MagoonD: fdisk -l [06:21] MagoonD: well, that leaves out the idea I had about why it didn't automount [06:21] yea i've heard alot of good things about ubuntu [06:21] as for mount point, thats for you to decide. you may have to make it actually [06:21] really looking forward to giving it a shot [06:21] mkdir /mount/ [06:21] ok thanks let me try that [06:21] hey could ANYONE please tell me the best way to rebuild my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file??? My current video settings are correct, but when I reboot I loose the setup...I also noticed some minor errors in the xorg.conf file. ANY ideas??? xorg.conf file at: http://pastebin.com/m7f70ba81 [06:22] yeah, ubuntu is sweet. [06:22] EnvoyRising: /media is the normal place in ubuntu (puts an icon on the desktop) [06:22] how set environment variables permanently in BASH ? [06:22] anrky: why not just boot the live cd? it'll let you play with the desktop, run apps and firefox to browse the web, etc [06:22] Jigs: did it boot after the update to linux? [06:22] I think Ubuntu has image problems ;) It should look cooler! [06:22] mkquist: yes sir [06:22] @sleepwalk what happens to the setup? [06:22] I want my Ubuntu to look like sex [06:22] Jigs: if it did, then grub is probably confused about where windows is... [06:22] Owner: add the definition to ~/.bashrc [06:22] mkquist: aw [06:22] Owner: ~/.bashrc? [06:22] Yes, a default ubuntu installation should be capable of getting your average nerd laid [06:23] nickrud I wanna do that for all users not just for a specific user how can I do that? [06:23] orph_: what do you mean? [06:23] mkquist: anyway... i formatted it again, i changed it fat32 [06:23] erudified, anytime I mention linux to girls they seem to get a bit awkward [06:23] Jigs: changed what? [06:23] nickrud: grr.. damned gentoo/other linux habits [06:23] sleepwalk: are your settings going back to what they were, or are they just failing? [06:23] Owner: add it to /etc/bash.bashrc [06:23] personal qualities such as dedication, willingness to commit, parenting abilities, etc, should be conveyed by the default Ubuntu theme [06:23] mkquist: i changed it to fat32 [06:23] anrky: if you download and burn the ubuntu install CD, then boot it, you'll get a fully functional Ubuntu desktop you can play with without installing anything [06:23] alright thnk [06:23] Jigs: you didnt need to reformat ur windows drive... =\ [06:23] alright just installed xbuntu and updated it...but what do i need to play the dvix codec... [06:24] ogre: you need libnet-dev..let me look for the exact name real quick [06:24] EnvoyRising: 99.44% of what you know transfers, it's always the little stuff that trips :) [06:24] mkquist: thats sad i already did... [06:24] erudified, I'd prefer if my default Ubuntu theme was a naked lady [06:24] anrky: if you like it, you can click the "Install" link on the desktop and it'll run you through the process of getting it on your hard drive [06:24] OMG i keep getting readonly file system! [06:24] Could not set mode 0700 on private per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2_private/': Read-only file system [06:24] or [06:24] Thank you for your help Jigs [06:24] plong0, but not just any naked lady, a marilyn monroe type, a real classic beauty, not showing it all, just enough to get the job done [06:24] mkquist: anyway... if thats happens again, what sould i do? [06:24] man nano [06:24] man: can't create a temporary filename: Read-only file system [06:24] orph_: right thats my plan, i want to run it off cd first, and if i like it i'll install it all the way alter [06:25] later* [06:25] mkquist: *should [06:25] Jigs: well, now your best bet is to reinstall windows, then reinstall grub, in that order, let windows take over (it will on install), but then reinstalling grub will let you boot both [06:25] erudified, of course... maybe Tux peaking out mischieviously from under her skirt [06:25] Well i was trying to boot windows partion... [06:25] from a VM [06:25] anrky: good thing people have been working on making that exact desire work :) [06:25] Jigs: prob just edit your menu.list in /boot/grub, probably would have fixed it... [06:25] Darkmystere: wht happend ??? [06:25] EnvoyRising, nickrud that worked when i mounted it using sudo [06:25] Idk... [06:25] Darkmystere: can u repeat ur question ??? [06:25] erudified, Tux holding a pear of Ubuntu panties in his beak [06:25] the person that was trying to ./configure.. the package you need to install is c alled libnet6-1.3-0-dev [06:25] Even Ktorrents says readonly file system....... [06:25] wait... pair, not pear [06:25] I've been thinking of packaging up my peculiar Rox/Murrine/Firefox 3.0b3/Compiz/Kibadock setup [06:26] Jigs: off to go reinstall windows now, would be my guess on what u should do [06:26] Everything i do that has to right something to file system it comes back saying readonly file system [06:26] How can i fix this? [06:26] G-Flat SVG Icons with some OSX style icons in the mix [06:26] pears are fruits... but not my preferred eating selection [06:26] mkquist: ok ok thank you man [06:26] It's hot. [06:26] erudified: the erudite edition? [06:26] Darkmystere: you'll have to put sudo before your commands then [06:26] mkquist: you'll be installing windows for hooours [06:26] Jigs: check back [06:26] Quit IRC:/quit Leaving [06:26] mkquist: thank you very much [06:26] Sure ;) hehe [06:26] i tried that...

[06:26] Quit IRC [06:26] when i do sudo nautilus it gives me:Could not set mode 0700 on private per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2_private/': Read-only file system [06:26] Jigs: g/l and def check back before u do that again =p [06:27] A couple mins ago it wasnt read only :/ [06:27] Darkmystere: altternatively, if its something you have to write to frequently, change permissions of that particcular folder by chmoding it [06:27] mkquist: kind of it is... too much rebooting when you start installing patches and junk [06:27] How can I restart/reset a comm port? Every couple of weeks my external modem appears to be busy to Ubuntu. Even when I disconnect the modem, kppp tells me it is busy, so it seems to be a software issue? [06:27] hey, how come etherwake nor wakeonlan work, is it a bug? [06:27] n2diy: you have a comm port modem? [06:27] Darkmystere: try sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/ [06:27] hello!

[06:28] Ubuntu Bug #1 is great ;) [06:28] I have an ubuntu box , and I have a dedicated Server which is freebsd , in my freebsd for all useres i specified a specifi value for a env. variables. when I use this command "rsh microsoft8.com echo $PVM_ROOT" on my ubuntu it works and ask me for enter password and after the password it give me empty string value :( so whats wrong with this? [06:28] plong0: oh well, done now... [06:29] More open source projects should be that ambitious [06:29] ogre: then open up your synaptic and search for libnet [06:29] mkquist: you're right, windows is evil [06:29] then find a package that ends in -dev and install that [06:29] n2diy, lshw lists all the hardware [06:29] then retry your ./configure [06:29] plong0: it works after a shutdown, but not a restart. And I have two of them, and they both behave the same. [06:29] <^CatMan^> i am having problems with getting kcron to actually run a program like it is suppossed to... how do i make it work?

Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [06:32] EnvoyRising: cool deal. I got it installed. thanks a bunch [06:32] joanki: I use a separate terminal, scp file user@remote:/path/to/location [06:32] MagoonD: use gnome partiton manager (gpart)...

[06:33] I need to change the MAC address of my network card (integrated) on every boot, this probably needs to be done after nic drivers are loaded but before networking is setup. What would be the correct place/way to do this? [06:33] joanki: just to add the fire, "microsoft has the largest market share " is pretty ambiguous. what market? who owns the web server market? linux. embedded stystems market? linux [06:33] ogre: no prob [06:33] i downloaded a theme package for emerald and none of the themes are changing the two bars or the scroll bar.

[06:37] plong0, i already got it to mount how do I unmount it whats the command for that? [06:37] nickrud: It's a VM image... I was hoping to downgrade it. Is that possible? [06:37] Dezine: copy the ttf file to /usr/share/fonts/truetype , or create ~/.fonts and put it there [06:37] n2diy, np [06:37] ^CatMan^: oh there's no like command line argument to starting playing a certain playlist? [06:37] KevinVN: Trying to compile it or something? [06:37] <^CatMan^> derwiki: umount [06:37] Dezine: Do a search for "font". If you want fonts for specific programs, try searching terms that would match that program [06:38] MagoonD: sudo umount /yourmountpath [06:38] I can turn on my second pc using a Windows utility for wake-on-lan, but if I use etherwake or wakeonlan from my linux pc, it doesn't turn the other pc on, what can I do?

How do I fix this? [06:38] nickrud: downgrades are suggested by microsoft for their new Windows Vista operating system. [06:38] That SUCKS! i cant get into windows nor ubuntu... im in backtrack.. [06:38] I saw that, thanks nickrud [06:39] Darkmystere: Why? [06:39] so it problem with driver graphic ? [06:39] KevinVN: Probably some package not installed.

[06:40] PaloAlto: did you try man chmod? [06:41] MagoonD: try this >> $ sudo mount /mnt/hda1 [06:41] why doesnt chmod agroup=-rwx bla/ work ? [06:41] Well Lucky for me that i installed Backtrack... or id be out of os's to boot in.. [06:41] KevinVN: Sorry I forget exactly. I'm rather tired. [06:41] Dezine: restart gimp, it should find it. If not, run fc-cache in a terminal [06:41] ok ty [06:41] PaloAlto: man chmod [06:41] oh, thanks! [06:41] MagoonD: $ sudo mount /mnt/hda1 (here hda1 is the partition name)... [06:41] someone say my name? i missed it [06:41] How to reinstall driver NVIDIA? [06:41] <^CatMan^> Indiadev_Techie: wouldn't sudo mount /dev/hda1 work better? [06:42] I've had three brown outs in the last ten minutes, and my phone line went dead too. A local power pole is down, so major powerline work is up coming. Other then shutting down, what should I do to protect my system, so it will do an orderly power up, if I do lose power? [06:42] I can turn on my second pc using a Windows utility for wake-on-lan, but if I use etherwake or wakeonlan from my linux pc, it doesn't turn the other pc on, what can I do?

[06:43] PaloAlto: chown groupname:username [06:44] so in my ubuntu terminal (not remote host) type that? [06:44] PaloAlto: sorry chown groupname:username [06:44] joanki: yes [06:44] PaloAlto: double sorry chown username:groupname [06:45] plong0: you can get the hat trick on sorries, do the command with a file :) [06:45] <^CatMan^> screw it! i'm just gonna use my $5 alarm clock to get me up in the morning! lol [06:46] PaloAlto: triple sorry FTW chown username:groupname bla [06:46] ^CatMan^: 'the right tool for the right job' :) [06:46] it's connecting now nickrud but it says Permission denied [06:46] plong0: rflol [06:46] ok, plong0 , that will change the folder's owner, which is not quite what i want, i created a new group, with a new user, and i want this user to be jailed essentially [06:46] joanki: did it ask for a password? [06:46] yes [06:46] <^CatMan^> nickrud: i was thinkin tho that if i can get it to wake me up, then i can get it to do other system admin tasks while i'm sleepin [06:46] and there is folders the group has access to, and i want to change that [06:46] joanki: ok, now be sure you have write permissions to the path you specified [06:47] waait... the problem is my file [06:47] i did this: scp ./file_name.c user@remoteHost:/ [06:47] is there an emerald channel? [06:47] it says Permission is denied to my file [06:47] * ^CatMan^ hisses at the wolf_ :D [06:48] joanki: that's not a place you can scp to, it's a system file. (unless you ssh'ed in as root, which is a BAD IDEA [06:48] PaloAlto: I don't think you can change permissions on a per-group basis like that. this might help though http://www.unix.com/linux/13554-how-can-i-jail-user.html [06:48] i thought that was a syntax for my pwd? [06:48] the file is in my pwd [06:49] kk, thanks [06:49] oh wow nickrud it works [06:49] joanki: I'm talking about on the remote machine, as a user you can only write to your home dir and below on the remote machine [06:49] thanks soooo much [06:49] msg buffdaemon buffdaemon [06:49] emerald will not theme my top/bottom bars or scroll bar.

[06:59] CaptainMorgan: you would edit the menu launcher item, add --geometry=80x50 for example (50 lines, 80 chars) [06:59] hi. im looking to make money online quick and automatically. ive written scripts for signing up and messaging automation and im familiar with affiliates. i have experience with programming in different languages and can pick them up quick. im looking for other coders to talk to and possibly share ideas.

[06:59] dave: you should ask that on #ubuntu-offtopic [06:59] <^CatMan^> CaptainMorgan: i just keep a terminal open all the time :D [07:00] CaptainMorgan: using the menu after you did that didn't work? then you have something wrong in your editing [07:00] <^CatMan^> CaptainMorgan: that way, i resize it once and it's done :D [07:00] Im doing fcsk from Backtrack right now tho [07:00] thanks ^CatMan^ but that's not the solution I require [07:00] its my last os that i can boot :/ [07:00] Windows it broke... [07:01] so is Ubuntu.. [07:01] ^CatMan^: I keep at least 3... when I'm in development mode, I open a couple more, most of them would have a vi window split a few times [07:01] can someone kick EnvoyRising so i can get my name back? [07:01] <^CatMan^> plong0: when i'm doin that kind of stuff, i use kate :D that's got a built in terminal :D [07:01] <^CatMan^> and it looks pretty :D [07:02] kate?

[07:02] gedit has a built in terminal as well [07:02] nickrud, Is there a preferred file system to use for setting up a share that ubuntu users and windows users can access? [07:02] well maybe not my life... but I do love coding in it [07:02] EnvoyRising_: be quite for twenty minutes, and he'll get dropped, then you can use the nick command to get it back. [07:02] Darkmystere: I'll take a stab at it, but it's late for me... [07:02] <^CatMan^> plong0: as funny as this may sound, i don't know how to use vi [07:02] How can I undelete an entire folder I just accidently deleted (not sent to trashbin) ??? [07:02] Well...I was trying to use VMWare Workstation to boot windows partion like a VM [07:03] yo yo yo Darkmystere, what's up with the crappy graphics card [07:03] 20 min? oh well [07:03] <^CatMan^> plong0: with kate, or even gedit, it's all point and shoot :D [07:03] bro-man: you can't. [07:03] And i wasnt successfull the first time because of privilages so i do sudo /usr/bin/vmware...then tried again it was doing too much so i killed it.. [07:03] EnvoyRising_: if you register EnvoyRising with freenode you can use /msg nickserv ghost Envoyrising , give it your password and kick it yourself next time [07:03] ^CatMan^: yeah, vi takes a bit to get used to at first... but once you get the basics it's wicked. no mousing needed. [07:04] ^CatMan^: i like vi. tried emacs too and liked it, but i swear it felt like instant carpal tunnel using it [07:04] ph0rensic: fat32 or maybe ntfs [07:04] then Ktorrent started complaining about read-only filesystem so i tried sudo nautilus then it was saying read-only filesystem too [07:04] EnvoyRising_: I remapped caps lock as ctl, my fingers thanked me muchly [07:04] ph0rensic: I wouldn't recommend ntfs for linux-windows sharing [07:05] so i tried sudo gedit (some file that needs you to be super user to use...and it gave readonly too.. [07:05] <^CatMan^> i guess i'm just familiar with a windows based platform, and i like the looks of it and still have all the shortcut keys available [07:05] nickrud: good idea [07:05] nickrud, Is there a preferred file system to use for setting up a share that ubuntu users and windows users can access?

On the same machine? ntfs is good enough, you can use fs-driver.org for ext2 if you like. samba for between machines [07:06] Darkmystere: so ur running windows vmware? Prob can't help w/that, I just dual boot. But what's with all the sudo's? Did you just randomly do this or investigate it first?

[07:08] nickrud: ur only risking ur machine after all... [07:08] or rather relabeling as a feature, lol [07:08] n2diy: disconnect it from the wall socket, wrap it in tin foil and put it in the bathtub [07:08] <^CatMan^> EnvoyRising_: hey, as long as they work :D [07:08] bro-man: ext3 is designed with efficiency in mind. it efficiently removes files if you delete them. that's why there is a trash can. i'm afraid you'll have to go and get your backups.

[07:10] n2diy: assuming you're on 24/7 that is [07:10] nickrud: or whenever I want to run it. [07:10] n2diy: well, if ur ups is something ur count on then go ahead.. but it's only your computer at stake here [07:10] <[chr0n0s]> nano_, nano_ [07:11] nano__: mocp (a cli based mp3 player) [07:11] * Darkmystere does anymore know the answer to my problem?

[07:11] plong0: so its like art for coding junkies? [07:11] n2diy: always a good thing [07:11] joe_: like tivo but free [07:12] mkquist: Yes, and it makes playing with linux/ubuntu fun, not a worry. [07:12] bazhang, do u have to have cable? [07:12] i have an external usb hard drive that isn't partitioned...how do I go about partitioning it when ubuntu can't find it? [07:12] or is it internet streams [07:12] n2diy: soo true [07:12] <[chr0n0s]> Stoffer, install gparted, and fix it [07:13] joe_: it is much like tivo--you record stuff you want from cable tv (though terrestrial could work too) [07:13] magnetron: ... I realize that... but I just goofed and deleted a folder just now and it couldn't have been written over yet... so I was hoping someone might know of a program that can reverse an ext3 deletion... [07:13] [chr0n0s], gparted doesn't see it anymore...well it does till you try doing something then it says it doesn't exist [07:13] [chr0n0s], i'm gonna try fdisk [07:13] Err Repeating my self for all channels besides #windows because i just joined it: I tried using VMware Workstation in Ubuntu to run Windows XP pro partion like a VM and it didnt work because of permissions and now ubuntu wont boot and of course neither Windows [07:13] hey bazhang :)... do you recall then plugins or codecs i need for mplayer to stream musics [07:14] <[chr0n0s]> Stoffer, check dmesg immediately after you plugin the hdd [07:14] soldats: heya ;] you mean like shoutcast or that? [07:14] alright people, i've spent enough of my day in here, :-\ [07:14] heh thats what we all say ;] [07:15] can anyone tell me how to use halt with a time to shut off in one hour?

[07:15] <^CatMan^> bazhang: actually, i spend to much of my time on dal.net :) [07:15] bazhang: yea. my old install had em. it streams from shoutcast. i can stream it from FF but i dont like gui stuff. [07:15] [chr0n0s], it did give me some output related to the hdd [07:16] <^CatMan^> wb plong0 [07:16] <^CatMan^> plong0: get booted that time? lol [07:16] can anyone tell me how to use halt with a time to shut off in one hour?

It's at 50 right now which is way too low. System > Preferences > Monitor Setting says that I don't have a supported monitor. [07:17] <^CatMan^> sudo halt +1 hour [07:17] bro-man: the pointers to the file gets overwritten during deletion. you could unmount it and grep through all the free space on the hard drive. you could also hire a computer data recovery firm to do this for you, unless you have any backups. this all assumes that you use the ext3 filesystem. [07:17] joanki: You just want to shut down your computer at a specific time? [07:17] yes [07:17] can i use halt [07:18] or shutdown -h 4:00 ?

[07:36] ogre: you could add a launcher of it to your panel, then edit its command to have sudo at the beginning [07:36] ogre though that is not recommended you can do so; gksudo program name from run command window if I recall corerectly [07:37] ogre: there is probably a better way though [07:37] correctly even [07:37] From an inexperienced user trying to add a repository to Gusty: I have tried to use the graphical interface through "software source" to add the following repository:deb http://ftp.up.ac.za/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ubuntu-archive/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/ but the "add source" button is still dim and hence inactive. Can anybody give me some advice, Thank you. [07:37] ngoato: why'd you add all those slashes? lots of them should be spaces [07:38] ngoato: what is in that repo that the regular ones do not have? [07:38] <^CatMan^> in mine i found: Kernel command line: root=UUID=ab295801-fac8-46d3-8ac5-e7781266e81a ro quiet splash [07:39] <^CatMan^> but i got that from my /etc/fstab that points to my hda1 [07:39] ngoato: at least, there should be spaces in the thing somewhere...they should take a format like this: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main see the spaces? [07:39] macogw and bazhang the spaced may be my problem. I just copied them from the ftp reference. I am trying to minimise download costs and my work is at up.ac.za, which is the university of pretoria [07:39] What causes Ubuntu to be unable to mount any drives in read-write mode on boot? [07:39] <^CatMan^> plong0: i got that UUID from my fstab, but the line came from my dmesg [07:39] who here has used an encrypted partition in ubuntu ? [07:40] ^CatMan^: thanks... I couldn't find my hard drive's UUID in my dmesg [07:40] <^CatMan^> plong0: does it show up at all anywhere in ur system? [07:40] ngoato: there should be mirrors there in south africa.. [07:40] <^CatMan^> plong0: like can it be mounted? [07:41] ^CatMan^: I can see where it mounts my sdb1 drive... then right after it has a line hda: Maxtor 6Y080L0, ATA DISK drive [07:41] towlie ask if you have a question [07:41] ok [07:41] towlie truecrypt can do that iirc [07:41] ^CatMan^: I can't mount it.... right after that hda line, it goes into ieee1394 loading [07:41] seems there is gui for linux as well now towlie [07:42] <^CatMan^> plong0: that should be it, if u add a line in ur /etc/fstab, it should be able to mount it then [07:42] ^CatMan^: I will try...

[07:59] hello, i have an ICH9 system which is only supportet by a 2.6.24 kernel [07:59] is there any way to install the system with an ubuntu cd? [07:59] now i do the bootstrap and kernel build on a different host but that quiet suxx [07:59] my native resolution is 1280x768 but when i change the rtesolution in game to a lower one like 640 x480 i cant get it to fullscreen (even tho i've setup in bios to stretch screen at lower resolutions) [08:00] nano__: sda is the first drive.. sdb the second drive.. sdc third drive etc [08:01] nik0n_: did you consider doing a stage3 tarball install?

[08:02] Kuroachia: is it listed in system monitor? [08:02] envoyrising: silly question, how could I tell? [08:02] EnvoyRising: i have to boot the new system with a kanotix live cd cause this one contains a 2.6.24 kernel. is there a guide (would be the easiest way) how to replace the kernel on the ubuntu install cd? [08:02] system > administration > system monitor [08:03] can anyone help me with synaptic? [08:03] !ask [08:03] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [08:03] nik0n_: not that i know of, but maybe you could follow the knoppix alternate install guide for gentoo and do something similar [08:03] hw00djohn: possibly. [08:03] When I start gstreamer-properties I get the following error: Segmentation error (core dumped) . What can I do about it ? [08:04] EnvoyRising: ok tha i have to look. i thought maybe someone in here would know this, dont wanted to reinvent the wheel [08:04] hw00djohn: But you have to ask a question. [08:04] mivo: you'll have to post the output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org so that we can get more useful info to help you [08:05] n2diy: i'm trying to update the restricted drivers for my nvidia 5200 go so i can run compiz. when i try to update it, it says i need nvidia-glx-new, i searched nvidia in synaptic and found what i need...now i dont know how to put it on my comp. [08:05] how does one start an x11 application from the shell with the sticky state set to on? [08:05] nik0n_: actually, is that the only computer you have? [08:05] thegattaca, hard to say =( it probably depends on whether you can send, e.g., a dbus message to your window manager lol [08:05] hw00djohn: Mark it for Install, and then click Apply. [08:05] or whether the application has a flag to start sticky [08:06] nik0n_: if not, or you know someone with a different computer, you could remaster ubuntu with the correct kernel and burn that [08:06] so how can i add extra resolutions to my default one of 1280x768 ? [08:06] n2diy: the only option it gives me is to mark for removal OR complete removal [08:06] EnvoyRising: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56590/ [08:06] even better, iso's are just archives right? could you just unpack it, replace the kernel, then remaster, nik0n_? [08:07] hw00djohn: That indicates it is already installed!? [08:07] has anyone had any luck getting 7.10 running on a MBP? [08:07] Help pidgin won't open anymore.. I did not do anything to cause this as far as I'm ware.. [08:07] In pidgin howto edit the name my friends see? ATM they see frold@work - but Im not at work anymore :D [08:07] I guess it get it from webmessenger I have used at work [08:08] macogw and bazhang I checked the "choose a download server" but for south africa there is only ftp.leg.uct.ac.za and ubuntu.mirror.ac.za and so this would mean downloading software from sources of the university of pretoria campus. I tried putting the following into third party software : http://ftp.up.ac.za/mirrors/ubuntu/ubuntu-archive/ubuntu/dists/gusty main but even this does not seem to work. [08:08] n2diy: D: now what? lol. heres the error i get when i try to enable the restricted driver "The software source for the package [08:08] nvidia-glx-new [08:08] is not enabled."

[08:16] hw00djohn: sudo ? Where is the name of the program you want to run.

[08:24] sofar I can see only with gstreamer [08:24] Hello. Any idea why xorg sets the resolution to 1280x960 instead of 1280x1024 (which is set in xorg.conf)?

While the first boot gnome asked me to change it [08:35] EnvoyRising, err btw, will this get overwritten every time I update the kernel? [08:35] talcite: look for the default = 0 line. change the number to item you want to boot as default.. normally about 4 [08:35] hw00djohn: advice for? [08:35] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56591/ [08:35] that page is not loading hw00djohn; just a moment [08:35] okay..thanks [08:35] ohh [08:35] but i didnt know what to do and ignored it [08:36] thanks [08:36] now i dont know how to get in that menu [08:36] or where the config file is [08:36] talcite: every time you update the kernel you'll have to change your boot menu anyways to reflect the correct kernel [08:36] :( [08:36] or is there some tool i don't know about that auto generates it for you?

[08:38] hmm default saved might work better [08:38] if it updates the number of kernels will change [08:39] btw, hw00djohn, i think you need to enable some more repos in order to install that package [08:39] my applications are opening inder wine by default. normal executable file open by default under wine. how can i change them back to open as an application? [08:39] talcite: And add "savedefault" to the windows boot portion [08:39] does anybody here know how to set a shared folder in virtualbox , ubuntu as host and xp as guest?

[09:13] Xorg doesnt pick up my FX5200 at all [09:13] glanced at chat and for a second i thought you guys were reciting a horrible dr. seuse book [09:14] all it picks up it the integrated chip [09:14] EnvoyRising : Ubuntu Members and developers get a different image in the forums as Ubuntu Members and developers ref: http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=11472 [09:14] EnvoyRising: http://pastebin.com/m1055103b [09:14] Nope, failed in recovery mode as well [09:14] boot contains the boot stuff until i mount the boot partition [09:15] this makes me think that grub etc was installed without mounting boot (which is my why grub won't load unless i boot with the ubuntu cd in and select boot from first hd) [09:15] coolbhavi: oooooh. i didn't know that [09:15] but i'm a semi-noob and could be wrong =] [09:17] clocKwize: you typed "cd boot" not "cd /boot" so you would still be showing contents of /... [09:17] Now i think the USB drives been corrupted too :( [09:17] so cd /boot then ls or ls /boot will show you contents of boot as opposed to contents of root [09:17] Trying to fsck it on this machine, its jammed at 27% [09:18] EnvoyRising: shows same thing [09:18] contents of room [09:18] back in a bit.. [09:18] root* [09:18] ls /boot shows the same thing clocKwize? [09:18] yeh [09:18] how many partitions you have clock? [09:19] btw, is holding backspace supposed to delete more than one character in here? its not... [09:19] sda has sda1(boot), sda2(root) and sda5(swap) - sdb has sdb1(ntfs/xp) [09:20] I guess i need to repeat myself :/ [09:20] EnvoyRising - Installed NFS and shared the folder, how do I access it? [09:20] Would anyone happen to know a way to force a certain video card... [09:20] i'm not sure then clocKwize i'm stumped [09:20] is wmaster0 used for broadcasting networks [09:20] places > network, i think [09:20] brb [09:20] cause xorg doesnt even find my PCI card [09:20] Only the integrated card [09:22] what is wmaster0?

[09:30] hw00djohn: http://computerbits.wordpress.com/2006/11/02/compiz-key-combinations-list/ [09:30] buh? why is 'ls' ignoring leading '_' characters when sorting filenames during an ls? [09:30] how do I make it stop that? [09:30] if there isn'ta command to speed them up again there, try pressing the buttons that slowed them down (could be a toggle) [09:30] EnvoyRising: None are installed. The fglrx drivers were removed but it seems they left a few things behind [09:31] and i've checked all my connections too... [09:31] apt-get autoremove should get red of the things left behind if i remember correctly [09:31] EnvoyRising: hey, i'm still working on my hard drive, but i think i have a clue, it may be that my raid device /dev/md0 is trying to load before the /dev/hd* devices, in that case, it would kind of make sense why the whole thing would fall apart, i think i need to force them to mount in a consistent order [09:31] thanks for the help envoyrising [09:31] EnvoyRising - Its working... provided I copy a max of about 5 files in one go [09:31] cafuego: I want to see "_cFoo _gfoo aaa zzz" *not* "aaa _cFoo _gfoo zzz" [09:32] np hw00djohn [09:32] chazco: good to here [09:32] Well, Thanks anyway...I guess i'll have to use a different distro till I build a new rig :( [09:32] EnvoyRising: Didnt do anything [09:32] tickbee: doesn't fstab have a mechanism for specifying boot order? or where is that set at?

[09:33] knifepoint: just a sec [09:33] I noticed before that if i left Nautilus open in a folder with a lot of MP3s it would eventually stop displaying the icons when they were clicked, wouldnt show them at all after a refresh. Killall nautilus used to fix it. Does this point to any particular problem?

[09:34] Currently running a recursive diff on two directory trees over 200GB big (i think), will take a while I guess [09:34] EnvoyRising: i think so, what i was doing though was letting ubuntu automagically detect/mount those hard drives, the only device i was specifically mounting was my /dev/md0 [09:34] EnvoyRising: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56593/ [09:34] EnvoyRising: I would think, it would load the fstab line by line and load them implicity as such, think that's what i'll try [09:35] EnvoyRising: im trying to uninstall the ati drivers with envy then ill try installing the nvidia ones hopefully it might fix it [09:36] anyidea how to debug "init: Caught segmentation fault, core dumped" problem on 7.10 server ?

[09:37] myrddin: I think ls uses some kind of translation to sort stuff according to local.. ie in sweden we have to take care of the letters å,ä and ö in that order.. so.. this localized sorting ignores underscores, hash signs etc. I don't know how to fix it .. perhaps you'll find a wayu [09:38] knifepoint: i was just going to say doing a purge would have worked too, lol [09:38] as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=148419 [09:38] hmm [09:38] EnvoyRising: i did do a purge still didnt seem to help [09:39] ah, well at least envy seems to have done the job [09:39] Going to uninstall if i manage to get this backed up :( Cant risk this happening again [09:39] hi [09:39] Trying the live CD, but that takes a lot of configuration to get encrypted drives to wokr [09:39] can u tell me more [09:39] somebody else gets this error after upgrading to xen 3.2?

[09:51] my printer is a lexmark X1290 all in one the printer was found and it says ready but when i want to print nothing happens [09:51] ok let me try it [09:51] hotlildude619: Itz depends on your hardware facilities and Internet access what method is optimum. Is your second computer exactly the same as the first? [09:51] dualboot | Cosmo [09:51] !dualboot | Cosmo [09:51] ntemis: it's possible that unzip handles wildcards better than unrar..

Is that normal [12:35] kaps: so it is only the one cd? [12:35] hmm [12:35] EnvoyRising: and this solves....? [12:35] isn't ubuntu supposed to automount a windows drive in a dualboot automatically? [12:35] kbrooks - Copying from the new HDD to a truecrypt partition on the other PC works fine (same files, as a test)... so i'm guessing its the USB HDD thats faultyy [12:36] It is several years old [12:36] Hello. Can someone help me with firefox crashing problem [12:36] ere4si: yeah, gentle wipe didnt help [12:36] ere4si: I forgot to tell you its not a cd its a dvd [12:37] ere4si: shouldnt make any difference though? [12:37] chazco, wel, get everything off the usb hdd and reformat the hdd, maybe it'll resolve itself after you reformat [12:37] Considering that now [12:37] kaps: then boot into windows - copy the data to somewhere you know then reboot into ubuntu and copy it over - as a solution [12:37] has anyone been able to mount their PSP to ubuntu?

What does "Installed (auto removal)" mean? [12:39] !ask | beebeentu [12:39] beebeentu: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:39] Thanks krbrooks! [12:39] ere4si: thanks, and is there any channel called #python? [12:39] kaps, yes [12:39] Hi guys. How can I find out exactly what processors I have? I just know its a pentium d but I need the number. [12:39] kaps, without the ? [12:40] kaps: yep try /j #python [12:40] python...how you taunt me so [12:40] EnvoyRising: can you help me with my problem? Firefox keep crashing when I open three windows [12:40] john___: cat /proc/cpuinfo [12:40] john___: lspci? [12:40] thanks! [12:40] Hi guys I have the same problem Bebeentu has. My firefox queeps freezing.... [12:40] Mushrooms, it means that you removed package X, and when X was installed, it needed certain other packages. but since X is removed, these certain other packages are unnecessary [12:40] beebeentu: run firefox from command line, open the three windows so that it crashes, then paste the error in paste.ubuntu-nl.org so that we can all help you [12:41] kbrooks: so is it ok if i uninstall them? or should i keep them? [12:41] kbrooks : I cant login [12:41] Mushrooms, double check to make sure it's okay [12:42] Mushrooms, with something like gtkorphan [12:42] kbrooks: is there a way that i can check for dependencies? [12:42] Mushrooms, um, apt-cache rdepends for that case [12:42] guys, I tried both those commands but I still dont know if my pentium D is say a 9xx or an 8xx. Any more suggestions? [12:42] ere4si: it saysyou need to be identified [12:42] EnvoyRising: I just try but it doesn't crash properly. The 2 window open go gray. and no error message come up on terminal [12:43] !register | kaps [12:43] kaps: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [12:43] kaps, yes, /msg nickserv register [12:43] I've just tried starting Amarok for the first time since reinstallation and it hangs on the splash screen. How can I fix it? [12:43] did you know that if you freeze a puppy and shove a stick in it somewhere, then you can sell it in mexico under the name Puppsicle [12:44] Just had an idea, maybe the bios will tell me. [12:44] kbrooks: the list is small... so i guess i can do that. which leads me to my next question, Say i required package X, and package X dependened upon package Y, so when i use synaptic package manger, it installs both X and Y. Now, when I want to get rid of X, does the dependency still hold? and remove Y as well? [12:44] john___: sudo lshw [12:44] hello folks. i want to print onto a printer connected by USB to a windows machine on my network. the printer is a EPSON stylus pro 3800, which is not listed by the system-config-printer.py applet under System->Administration menu. i tried selecting epson stylus pro 5000, but no luck. [12:44] -.-;; he just left.. [12:44] is this unlikely to work, or am i almost there? [12:44] thanks [12:45] ac1d: This is a support channel, if you just want to say random things, #ubuntu-offtopic is the place.

What is the name of the package which contains the syscall man pages? [12:46] gday everyone. Running 7.10, and despite the warning that it could happen, I turned on "special" graphics including the "make desktop workspaces a cube" and it clobbered my multiple desktops. Can anyone help me find them and get them back? [12:46] wonder why my internel card reader not working [12:46] :D [12:46] beebeentu: hmm... well, i guess you could check your system log... [12:46] find that under system > admin > sys log btw [12:47] hopefully something useful in thee [12:47] there* [12:47] kbrooks: so, if i were to invoke apt-cache redepends and it gave me a list, it would mean that the packages in the list needs this particular package? [12:47] I am trying to use EKiga . My problem is the sound don't seem to work. It can't read my mic . I know the mic works . and the sound on my system works so .

[12:48] <__Oz__> jpatrick: easy, brother, easy. Just jubilation in the mornin', my friend. [12:48] dubcat - you should be able to, yes [12:48] imc1 cheers - ill do that now. [12:48] __Oz__: you've said it at least twice tho, and #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place :) [12:49] So any help here for me with my multiple workspace drama? [12:49] <__Oz__> Just twice, actually, and only by mistake. And now all this discussion over it is more off-topic stuff by approximately 300% than if you'd simply left it alone. :) [12:49] <__Oz__> imc1: let's hear the problem. I will try to help. [12:49] Mushrooms, so feel free to infer away [12:49] I'm running 7.10, and despite the warning that it could happen, I turned on "special" graphics including the "make desktop workspaces a cube" and it clobbered my multiple desktops. Can anyone help me find them and get them back? [12:49] Thanks _Oz_ [12:49] kbrooks: I see, that means that if i got a list for rdepends, then i probably should leave that package alone >.< ok, thanks for your help ^-^ [12:49] <__Oz__> Describe the problem in detail, sir. [12:49] what's the best reasonably priced wireless mouse to get? [12:49] __Oz__: thats why i handle all my off-topic ramblings in ubuntu-offtopic, lol [12:49] Mushrooms, no [12:50] Mushrooms, you're ... errr, wrong [12:50] <__Oz__> EnvoyRising: excellent idea! [12:50] _Oz_ - I thought I just did ;) [12:50] kbrooks: hahaha ok, then what should i be thinking? [12:50] so, I wanna install ubuntu on a machine where ubuntu cannot recocgniz the cd drive, and where I cannot have a web connection. How should I do it? [12:50] <__Oz__> How am I supposed to figure out what "multiple workspace drama" means, imc1? [12:50] No, I posted this: [12:50] Mushrooms, well, wrong as in "think again, you probably jumped to conclusions" [12:50] I'm running 7.10, and despite the warning that it could happen, I turned on "special" graphics including the "make desktop workspaces a cube" and it clobbered my multiple desktops. Can anyone help me find them and get them back? [12:50] After that :) [12:50] <__Oz__> oh. sure. [12:51] imc1 i think they want to know what clobbered your desktop means.. can you see any windows etc? [12:51] ok, bye [12:51] dubcat, thanks, [12:51] kbrooks: sorry? [12:51] <__Oz__> Open the "Advanced Graphics Manager" or whatever it's called. (Not in front of an ubuntu machine right now, so bear with me.) [12:51] __Oz__: lmao.. its when one workspace's girlfriend finds out about the other workkspace's baby's mama and they start to argue [12:51] tuna: do you have some way of getting files in? [12:51] What iI mean is that iI now have only one desktop workspace not four [12:51] hi how do i remove an app [12:51] <__Oz__> The same interface where you set up the spinning cube. [12:51] and I cannot seem to add any new ones [12:51] Gahhhhhhhhhh i thought NVIDIA was meant to be strides above ati in the drivers stakes why is it i cant get my 7600GS out of vesa mode [12:51] <__Oz__> Click on the "general" tab. [12:51] Mushrooms, thats why i also said to double check with deborphn [12:51] Viktorious: sudo apt-get remove [12:51] imc1: Right click the workspace switcher [12:51] imc1 go to system/preference/advanced desktop settings [12:51] <__Oz__> Find the number of vertical and horizontal desktops. Set the horiz. number to the desired amount. [12:51] Mushrooms, and/or gtkorphan [12:52] imc1 in there you can disable cube etc and renable the desktop wall [12:52] <__Oz__> imc1: that applies to you as well. [12:52] kbrooks: i understand. which one do you recommend? for a newbie [12:52] dubcat, Odd-rationale, and _Oz_ thanks, trying [12:52] imc1: Do you have compiz on or off? [12:52] Mushrooms, gtkorphan [12:52] tuna: if your HDD is partitioned already, you could use wubi to make an image install, the LVPM to move it over... you'll need to get wubi-installer and the disk on the HDD with windows tho [12:52] * __Oz__ loves compiz [12:53] Ofdd-Rationale - sorry how would I know? [12:53] * Odd-rationale does not like compiz [12:53] kbrooks: great thanks for your help! [12:53] faileas: I have plenty of unpartitioned space [12:53] if he has cubes he must have compiz on right? [12:53] Does anyone have any experience with Amarok? Mine just freezes on the splash screen [12:53] tuna: and i assume a windows partition? [12:53] Interesting that I don't have System>Preferences>Advanced Desktop Settings. [12:53] (i hope, else it gets REALLY tricky) [12:53] ahh you didnt install compiz fusion im guessing [12:53] faileas: how do I use wubi if the machine doesn't have a web connection [12:53] TrapperDave: you running kde? [12:53] how did you enable cubes exactly? [12:53] imc1: Go go System --> pref --> appearance and see if visual effects are enabled [12:54] !ccsm | dubcat [12:54] dubcat: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [12:54] I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 with GNOME I think. I only started using Linux like a week go so it's all very new to me. [12:54] Ah [12:54] faileas: yes, a windows partition and I can get the cd and wubi to that machine [12:54] <__Oz__> Odd-rationale: that's an... odd rationale to have. Why don't you like compiz? It's really super! [12:54] Yes they are; it says "Normal" [12:54] if no one here can help you, #kubuntu may be more helpful [12:54] can someone help me with wine noone in wine room is doin anyhtng pathetic [12:54] <__Oz__> trapperdave: yeah, I use it... no freezes though. [12:54] wine...**cringes** [12:54] tuna: wubi can use a CD image you downloade already if its in the same partition. I suggest the 7.10 version. Use that to do an install to the SAME DRIVE as windows [12:54] Viktoroius: what is the problem? [12:54] sure Viktorious what do you need? [12:55] Thank you EnvoyRising. [12:55] EnvoyRising: I looked but which section? syslog? it doesn't show anything for last 30 mins [12:55] i wanna know why it always installs on windows partition rather then linux one [12:55] faileas: ok [12:55] tuna: then boot into wubi and install LVPM (you'll need to copy this over too) and use that to move it to another partition [12:55] <__Oz__> Question: are viruses at all a problem for Linux? I don't run an anti-virus proggie in Ubuntu. Should I? I've always believed Linux to be far more secure against that sort of tripe. [12:55] __Oz__: I liked it when I first started using linux. But that kind of wore off... [12:55] tuna: so all you'll need is a 1 gig USB drive prettymuch ;) [12:55] !virus | __Oz__ [12:55] __Oz__: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [12:55] beebeentu: dang..i'm trying to get a more descriptive explanation of whats going on with your firefox [12:55] Hi [12:55] <__Oz__> Odd-rationale: I mostly like the cube and the ability to flip through windows in big/easy to read ways [12:56] does no one have any advice on a wireless mouse purchase? [12:56] <__Oz__> Thank you, Odd-Rationale. [12:56] Hi all [12:56] What package contains the javac command? (how can I find this out?) [12:56] Gothfunc, there's really no such thing as a good wireless mouse imo [12:56] I've yet to try one that didn't have a very noticable delay [12:56] <__Oz__> Odd-Rationale: the system certainly runs a bit faster withOUT compiz [12:56] i wanna know why it always installs on windows partition rather then linux one wine that is [12:56] <__Oz__> but I'm a sucker for that slick presentation [12:56] __Oz__: I still have it installed to "show-off" to my windows friends. :) Other than that, I keep it off for everyday computing. [12:56] <__Oz__> Viktorious: because that is how wine works. [12:56] __Oz__, I think it *feels* a lot faster [12:56] Viktorious: are you sure its the windows partition? ;p [12:56] EnvoyRising: I open one window, I open a second window. Everything okay. I open three window and the window don't open. Then a few seconds more the two windows go gray [12:56] axioplase: sun-java6-jdk [12:56] <__Oz__> Odd-rationale: yeah, I can understand. [12:57] <__Oz__> erudified: I'm with you. [12:57] faileas. thank you very much [12:57] thanks [12:57] pretty sure always takin my c drive [12:57] erudified: mine seems fine there, but it just runs out of batteries after about an hour [12:57] I have a plantronics USB headset - it's working fine - but how do i change the volume of this thing? the volume control on the lead is not work and im using skype with it fyi [12:57] tuna: its a bit time consume tho [12:57] Gothfunc, yeah there's just no way to win lol [12:57] so what happen when i sign bak in on windows partiton em i gonna have the games interfierring [12:57] Viktorious: no [12:57] I've never used one long enough to run out of battery, and I've bought quite a few of them [12:57] faileas: k, that's not a problem, not my time :) [12:57] wine's c drive is a folder [12:57] so it isnt realli going on my other hardrive [12:58] no [12:58] Hey... anyone here actually use apparmor? I know it's installed by default, but I don't think it's actually doing anything. "sudo apparmour_status" returns that the module is loaded, but there are zero profiles and zero processes in use. [12:58] it isn't [12:58] erudified: what price range did you go for? [12:58] oh thank god so when it comes up c drive program files dsnt matter [12:58] <|Dreams|> has nayone managed to get virtual box to use a dvd writer [12:58] Gothfunc, I've gotten everything from the tiny $5 ones to the $60 logitech ones [12:58] I still use a MS Intellimouse Optical (with cord) from about 2000 [12:58] EnvoyRising: if it help, Epiphany work fine with many more windows than 3 [12:59] But your mileage may vary [12:59] the delay (and some people have told me they don't notice it) just drives me insane [12:59] faileas: so c drive program fiels is wines little thing not acttully my other harddrive [12:59] Viktorious: ... [12:59] YES [12:59] erudified: i might not notice it i guess [12:59] is there anything like a cool equalizer for rhythmbox.. or for the whole system? [12:59] haha ok thanks heaps [12:59] its a folder on your linux drive [12:59] running ubuntu 7.10 [13:00] erudified: MS makes great peripherals ;p [13:00] yeah the damn mouse just won't die lol [13:00] Viktorious: You can find you wine "C:\" in ~/.wine/drive_c [13:00] not sure what qualifies as cool, but off the top of my head, there's alsa mixer, unicum [13:00] i'd rather not buy microsoft hardware tbh [13:01] it'd feel like funding terrorism [13:01] ;o [13:01] EnvoyRising alsa mixer is not really an equalizer, is it? i mean it just does the volume level.. but nothing like treble, bass.. you know [13:01] My computer is from MS... [13:01] dubcat, Odd-rationale, and _Oz_ thanks, that worked all is well. Have a good day [13:01] Gothfunc: *shrug* i go for whatever works for me ;p [13:01] imc1: You, too [13:01] hahah, well, I figure if my hand is gonna spend some significant portion of it's time on a device, it may as well be one that I like [13:01] hmm guys ive installed ubuntu when i type i sudo su i get the error my username is not in the sudorers file a log has been created and then i get a postfix error :/ [13:01] try sudo -s [13:01] sudo su is kinda silly [13:01] EnvoyRising_: Did you see my messagesss? Please let me know if you can't help me more. [13:01] k [13:02] but be careful with sudo -s, it'll change the perms of e.g., your .vimrc file [13:02] i didn't see your last messages beebeentu got disconnected [13:02] ideas where to find things like tun-source, bcm4400-source, thinkpad-source and madwifi-source? looks like the fresh ubuntu does not like to let me compile the modules because the source keeps on missing [13:02] Odd-rationale: MS builds PCs? [13:02] whats sudo -s do? [13:02] hi, the network manager applet has been behaving strange lately, i am using an atheros chipset wifi NIC....it gets disconnected from the network and yet the icon does not change.....i am using 7.04 [13:02] bsdnewb07: !man [13:02] bsdnewb07, it gives your current shell root privileges [13:02] erudified: you make it sound even dirtier with the ms mouse [13:02] ;) [13:02] shingouz: apt-get source packagename [13:02] !man | bsdnewb07 [13:02] bsdnewb07: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [13:02] but only if your in the sudoers file tho? [13:03] EnvoyRising_:I open one window, I open a second window. Everything okay. I open three window and the window don't open. Then a few seconds more the two windows go gray [13:03] EnvoyRising: if it help, Epiphany work fine with many more windows than 3 [13:03] faileas: No, I didn't mean that. I just has a "MS Asset" sticker on it. It really belongs to my dad - A MS employee. [13:03] Pici: i know about that, i just seem to be missing the sources. in other words: repositories do not seem to have them [13:03] Odd-rationale: ahh ;p [13:03] how fast of a processor and how much ram do you have beebeentu [13:03] ?* [13:03] and why 3 windows? [13:03] EnvoyRising i run fine in 256 [13:03] Odd-rationale: MS employy's kid using linux? !!! ;p [13:04] hey [13:04] faileas: Shhhh. [13:04] Pici: ..and now that i remember, they are all enabled in sources.list [13:04] but id imagine 32mb ram would work, linux isnt fussy on ram like windows is [13:04] lol [13:04] can someone help me ? [13:04] shingouz: You need to make sure that you have the deb-src repositories for each of your normal deb lines [13:04] got detected that my boot linux it on /dev/hda2... and from my grub menu.lst, the root is (hd0,1). is this right? [13:04] !offtopic | faileas Odd-rationale [13:04] faileas Odd-rationale: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:04] how do i enlarge the head of a window? [13:04] usually if it goes grey it means its got too much to think about... unless theres a bug i'm unaware of or something [13:04] eugh... sources.list is filled with comments :p [13:04] don't think i have any more ideas though, beebeentu [13:05] bsdnewb07: XP works on as little as 64. lowest i've gone in ubuntu is 192, but thats cause i'm not that familair with it. I suspect it can go pretty low on the right DE... [13:05] I'm sure that this is a stupid question, but does Ubuntu come with a default firewall? [13:05] manchicken: no [13:05] manchicken: no [13:05] 1.6Ghz duo centrino 1GB RAM [13:05] manchicken: iptables is installed, but no default rules for it exist. [13:05] manchicken: If you want one, I can suggest firestarter [13:05] !firewall | manchicken [13:05] manchicken: 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). [13:06] Much thanks. [13:06] ? [13:06] Odd-rationale: Firestarter is just a front end to iptables (which exists on a default install) [13:06] :D [13:06] Damn, that's the fastest I've ever gotten an answer in here. [13:06] heh [13:06] my window is broken [13:06] Pici: Yes. [13:06] Pici: main, universe, restricted and multiverse are all enabled for both deb and deb-src. done apt-get update too [13:06] can someone explain me how to change the size of the windowhead? [13:07] EnvoyRising_: oh and it work fine with edgy install on this machine for 1yr+ until upgrade today [13:07] shingouz: Give me a package name that you can't get the source for, I want to take a look. [13:07] thinkpad-source, madwifi-source, tun-source Pici [13:07] beebeentu: wow. def. more going on than i know how to help with. sorry about that [13:08] shingouz: Are you doing: apt-get source tun-source? or apt-get source tun? [13:08] hey guys [13:08] please [13:08] :D [13:08] help me! [13:08] im loosing my mind [13:08] window head? [13:08] Isoplast: You need to explain your question better, I dont think anyone knows what you are talking about. [13:08] Isoplast: I don't get what you want to do... [13:08] EnvoyRising_: Do you know other person I can talk to? No one helps unless I break etiquette rules to get attention. I don't like that [13:09] i mean [13:09] the window [13:09] beebeentu, well, you could offer some cash ;) [13:09] !enter [13:09] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:09] if you open firefox for example [13:09] I have not been able to install e17 (enlightenment) anyone have success? [13:09] EnvoyRising_:to who [13:09] you have a headtab [13:09] wich you can drag and drop [13:09] Isoplast: Please don't use enter as punctuation. [13:09] ive trid sudo -s [13:09] is there some problem with the internet today? i cant reach www.google.de(no dns resolve) or paypal.com an cnn.com (no ping reply) [13:09] ok sorry... [13:09] beebeentu: well the problem is that the issue you are having is a bit unique. its not so general in nature, so its likely that if you aren't getting answers now, you'll have to wait for another time. then. google is pretty good too..lemme see something [13:09] i enter my password, says its not in the sudoers file [13:10] and an error has been logged then sendmail creates an error [13:10] or postfix [13:10] Isoplast, you want to resize a window? [13:10] other pages are ok [13:10] if you open firefox, you have a titlebar, wich you can also drag and drop. i only want to resize the titlebar, because it is very small... [13:10] whats the ubuntu default admin password? [13:10] Kase1, U.S. Special Forces have been systematically disconnecting the eastern hemisphere in preparation for establishing global hegemony [13:10] EnvoyRising_:I tried google before come here. I don't find nothing but I don't really know what search words to use. [13:11] !root | bsdnewb07 [13:11] bsdnewb07: 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 [13:11] beebeentu: i'm trying too. maybe you ddint' have the right keywords. only thing i can suggest is trying a newer version of firefox [13:11] bsdnewb07, use your normal user passwd with sudo [13:11] Isoplast, i think you need to change theme to do that. you have the default theme? [13:11] im in germany? ok its east of us but, [13:11] cleaton jep [13:11] k dkd [13:12] i did [13:12] it says shellhosts the username i added during setup does not exist in the sudoers file [13:12] btw. do you have a lot of extensions beebeentu? [13:12] Isoplast: I think I know what you're talking about. I know it is possible, just don't remember how. Try playing with some stuff in Appearance [13:12] EnvoyRising_: I never know how to upgrade to latest version on linux. I have 2.0.0.12. I remove all extensions. [13:12] bsdnewb07, new install? [13:12] yeh Brownster [13:13] ahh i found my USB headset volume issue at launchpad [13:13] bsdnewb07, r u using the a/c created at install [13:13] Isoplast, system -> preferences -> appearance -> customize -> window boarder [13:13] beebeentu: to be honest, i never upgrade. i just backup and do clean installs [13:13] yeh Brownster [13:13] it lets me login file [13:13] fine* === EnvoyRising_ is now known as EnvoyRising [13:13] dubcat, hehe, you remember when getting support for USB anything was a crapshoot? [13:13] :) [13:13] Time marches on... [13:13] yah - [13:13] and u sure u didnt create any other a/c? [13:14] odd-rationale, ok... but the funny thing is, that i never changed the setting... when i started up the computer it just appeared like this [13:14] 100% [13:14] ive even done the reinstall to make sure [13:14] EnvoyRising_:That's what I do [13:14] bsdnewb07, well do you have a live cd? [13:14] nah it wasnt live cd i used [13:14] it was the server based version [13:14] EnvoyRising_:I mean upgrade from Edgy to Gutsy but I do clean install. [13:14] the text based installer [13:15] Isoplast, your window boarders suddenly got smaller? [13:15] oh. well either way i don't have anything else to try, sorry about that [13:15] cleaton jep ! :D [13:15] bsdnewb07, not sure if server version would be different in way it uses sudo, [13:15] Isoplast: Do have even *any* window borders? [13:15] i just dont get it [13:15] bsdnewb07, one way around the problem ... [13:15] Pici: sorry, phone.... [13:15] pici yes, i still have it, but the font is very small [13:15] yeh? [13:15] hey, does anyone know of a destop environment other than gnome, kde, and xfce? i know of plenty of windows managers, but no other de's [13:15] EnvoyRising_: Thanks for trying. [13:16] Isoplast, oh so it's just the font that is small? [13:16] bsdnewb07, get any live cd and boot using that, into a live cd environment. mount the root partition of ubuntu anywhere you like, then edit the sudoers file [13:16] hello [13:16] cleaton, no, the bar has also got smaller [13:16] Pici: apt-get source tun and apt-get source tun-source both error out "cannot find a source package for tun[-source]" [13:16] I have a problem with my sound card [13:17] Isoplast, the bar gets samller if you change the font [13:17] See, my sound card is a Creative Labs, EMU 1212m [13:17] heck [13:17] It's not detected at all [13:17] and they say ubuntu is easy lol [13:17] <__Oz__> Whomever gave me this link: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [13:17] <__Oz__> Thank you. [13:17] Isoplast, go to system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts and change window title font to maybe 10px [13:17] cleaton, and how do i change the font back to the default setting? [13:17] <__Oz__> That's a very good read. Now I understand why Linux is Virus-inhospitable. [13:17] I found a driver, which should work, but I can't compile it [13:17] i have prob wit gyachy,handme please? [13:18] bsdnewb07, well I dont know why u have this problemo, I haven't come across it before, perhaps it is to do with the server install,worth reading the install docs for clues? [13:18] Isoplast, tell me if that helped [13:18] k [13:18] I've also downloaded the new version of ALSA, but when I do ./configure on it, it's telling me my C compiler cannot create executable files [13:18] cleaton, no it didnt... its already set on 10px [13:18] bsdnewb07, at least u dont _need_ to reinstall :) [13:18] Isoplast, try making it larger then [13:19] does anyone in here use xvidcap [13:19] bsdnewb07, worth checking something, what does $ groups give you, are u in the admin group? [13:19] ah [13:19] now it worked [13:19] thank you a lot ! [13:19] bsdnewb07, might be 'adm' [13:19] Anyone? [13:19] Isoplast, no problem =) [13:20] what do you mean [13:20] shingouz: Are you sure that those are proper package names? The only one that I can see that should work is thinkpad-source (but in that case, its just a regular package) [13:20] e17 sources directory please forums seem not to work [13:20] bsdnewb07, check what groups 'you' belong to, in a terminal type 'groups' [13:20] Trashlord, you got all the dependences? [13:21] I need to get stdio.h [13:21] bsdnewb07, u should get a list that includes 'adm' or maybe 'admin' [13:21] Pici: apt-get install thinkpad-source "cannot find package thinpad-source" and the same with all the others too. even modules-assistant reports the same [13:21] Brownster: its 'admin' [13:21] I'm trying to install emu10k1 [13:21] it requires that [13:21] do you know where can I get it? [13:21] googled, found nothing [13:21] thanks Pici [13:21] !compile | Trashlord [13:21] Trashlord: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [13:22] Thanks [13:22] :( they don't like me here [13:22] Pici: they should be the proper names.... i *could* do a straight compile from raw sources but i am not really in a mood for htat kind of screwing around this time [13:22] shingouz: I ask because I dont see them at all. [13:22] :) either that or im invisible [13:22] Woah dude [13:23] Thanks a lot, I just found I required a major dependency [13:23] Which I didn't have [13:23] its admin [13:23] does the user admin have a default password? [13:23] Pici: so it is not only me this time... hmm... tun i absolutely need, acx100, ipw2200, madwifi and thinkpad would be nice [13:23] bsdnewb07: There is no admin user. [13:24] well when i installed ubuntu it said i couldnt have the user admin because it was taken by the system [13:24] shingouz: Have you looked in the kernel sources? [13:25] where do you get the live cd from? [13:25] It is not easy to find [13:25] Dave_is_sexy: http://www.ubuntu.com/download [13:25] bsdnewb07, yes it's used as a 'group' name, hence users can be given membership of the admin group, then using sudo and entering your normal user password u can execute commands as 'root' or group 'admin', its the ubuntu way [13:25] Dave_is_sexy: The DesktopCD is the LiveCD [13:25] when i run alsamixer in a terminal it always shows me the details of my Intel sound card - how do i get it to show me my USB soundcard built in to my headphone cord? [13:25] Pici: iirc they all are external thingies. at least thinkpad, madwifi and tun are [13:26] more specifically i know its the -c or -D flags but i dont know how to find the name of those devices [13:26] shingouz: Then I'm not really sure, sorry :/ [13:26] ..unless, of course, ubuntu does things differently.... ;) [13:26] pici: but that's not live [13:26] Dave_is_sexy: Which isnt? [13:26] any [13:26] Dave_is_sexy: The Desktop Edition is the LiveCD [13:27] oh [13:27] Pici: the funny thing is that modules-assistant knows them by those names but it cannot find the sources. could they be in repositories for older releases? [13:27] bsdnewb07, if you are in the 'admin' group like you say you are, you should be able to execute any command $sudo foo bar, and enter your password , thats it! [13:27] anyone knows how to recover files from a hd that has been formatted to ext2 accidentally? [13:27] will it ask me to push a key or select 'start from cd' cos the machine it's needed for is keyboardless [13:28] shingouz: They are probably in the linux-restricted-modules or linux-ubuntu-modules packages for your kernel. [13:28] roddersg: testdisk will allow you to restore anything on the original partition that wasn't overwritten [13:28] Dave_is_sexy: Depends on you bios settings [13:28] ...which is why it's needed as a distro which includes an on screen keyboard and ntfs-3g driver [13:28] i have created this 4 TB partition with parted and and set label to GPT, then i format it with ext3 and use the filesystem, this works great until i reboot, then the filesystem show up with "?" instead of "rwx" and the messages log says it contains error - why is this happening every time? [13:28] good, my bios is set to boot from cd without question [13:28] How can i execute Warsow? I got the 0.41, i need to execute ''warsow.i386'' [13:28] Red Hat and Ubuntu Linux Top Enterprise Open-source Software [13:28] hi [13:28] during an hd-installation [13:28] http://crazy4computers.blogspot.com/2008/02/red-hat-and-ubuntu-linux-top-enterprise.html [13:29] Pici: restricted modules installed but tun. thinkpad and madwifi are all fully gpl... strange [13:29] I get the error message 'base-installation/no_codename' [13:29] !offtopic | shailender_ [13:29] shailender_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:29] is there an eassy way to get this fixed? [13:29] Dave_is_sexy: The live cd will boot the Live environment if nothing is pressed after 30 secs. [13:29] http://crazy4computers.blogspot.com/2008/02/red-hat-and-ubuntu-linux-top-enterprise.html [13:29] faileas, how long will the recovery take [13:29] :) [13:29] when i then run e2fsck i get Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! Abort? ... [13:29] roddersg: it isn't very fast, [13:30] How can i execute Warsow? I got the 0.41, i need to execute ''warsow.i386'' [13:30] has anyone had their apt-get update fail recently? [13:30] during an hd-installation I get the error message 'base-installation/no_codename' [13:30] ccasey: Try Aptitude [13:30] it seems to be unable to find the right version/codename [13:30] ooooooh i found a gnome bug with alsamixer! [13:30] any idea how to fix that? [13:30] or more specifically - ppl are complaining that their usb headset volume control is not working - but its a gnome issue in fact! [13:30] Desert_Storm: try ./warsow.i386? [13:31] faileas, major oops happenning [13:31] <__Oz__> Why don't we just use aptitude for everything? It's so much better than apt-get. [13:31] Pici: make-kpkg modules_image begins to sound a nice idea with some pure raw sources off the net [13:31] <__Oz__> Or does aptitude only work with certain packages? [13:31] ./warsow.i386: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:31] i need a little help pls... to remove grub error 18, am planning to install again ubuntu using the livecd in manual mode.. coz they said that my boot partition is bigger to my bios thats why i wanna used the manual mode in installation [13:31] roddersg: i did it once, testdisk fixed it but i basically left it overnight after the inital stages [13:31] )dd-rationale - it hangs here Get:235 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-backports/multiverse Sources [2264B] [13:31] 99% [20 Packages bzip2 0] [13:32] faileas, I think the directory section and the beginning part got wiped out [13:32] __Oz__: Yes you can use aptitude instaed of apt-get for about anything. Just remember that ssynaptic uses apt-get [13:32] with aptitude as well as apt-get [13:32] roddersg: i once reformatted a disk TWICE and got everything back [13:32] Faileas, i got the error: ./warsow.i386: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:32] give it a shot, its good stuff [13:32] ccasey: Have you retried? [13:32] yes [13:32] Desert_Storm: install livcurl [13:32] <__Oz__> Odd-Rationale: why doesn't synaptic switch to aptitude? [13:32] Desert_Storm: install libcurl [13:32] Where can i get it_ [13:32] __Oz__: Dunno [13:32] is it because im using ext3 filessytem with parted?? [13:33] i suppose i should share my bug findings on launchpad and not here right? [13:33] <__Oz__> And I still don't "get" what makes synaptic better than add/remove. [13:33] dubcat: yes. [13:33] <__Oz__> What's the advantage of synaptic? Best I can tell is simply access to more repos. [13:34] _Oz_ - its just a different way to do the same thing, slightly less user friendly [13:34] <__Oz__> ccasey: right. So why's it in there? :) [13:34] __Oz__: More control over the packages. Also, add/remove does not lists packages, but rather more like the applications [13:34] because it's more powerful [13:34] <__Oz__> ccasey: why not just leave add/remove as the only gui package installer? [13:34] <__Oz__> credible: powerful in what way? [13:34] It lets you pic and choose libs and other things where as Add/Remove sticks mostly with programs [13:34] __Oz__: Because your power/developer-user wouldnt want that. [13:34] __Oz__: becouse add remove is too high level for some uses [13:34] i guess am now on my own... dunnno really what to do about this fcking grub error 18... [13:34] <__Oz__> libs? libraries? What's an example of when you'd need to do this? [13:35] Faileas, where can i get libcurl_ [13:35] __Oz__: compiling software [13:35] !usplash > K-Ton [13:35] <__Oz__> Mm. [13:35] _Oz_ you may want a specific kernel other than Generic [13:35] Desert_Storm: apt i guess [13:35] <__Oz__> Me being a n00b, I guess add/remove is the right thing to use. [13:35] sudo apt-get libcurl_ [13:35] ? [13:35] or to add a dev package that goes along with a program [13:35] <__Oz__> Yeah, I've seen dev packages in there. [13:35] Desert_Storm: no underscore, and use search first [13:36] ccasey: I really don't know what is wrong. Sorry. [13:36] Okay, thanks =) [13:36] <__Oz__> So Add/Remove was included in Ubuntu for idiots like me, while smart people across the Linuxverse appreciate the power of Synaptic. Is that about right? [13:36] __Oz__: yes ;) [13:36] __Oz__: though some people stick to apt ;p [13:36] _Oz_ - just pick what works best with your workflow, and dont get hung up on the details. If you find yourself needing synaptic one day, you will use it. [13:36] <__Oz__> faileas: you mean the command line apt? [13:36] its faster when you know exactly what you want [13:36] __Oz__: yup [13:36] i do ;p [13:36] woot - that's the first time i've every contributed to helping track down the cause of a bug :) [13:36] <__Oz__> ccasey: I have used synaptic plenty (when following instructions from a webpage or something) but never understood the value of using it. [13:37] __Oz__: Synaptic is a debian thing, not just ubuntu. Add/Remove is a gnome app [13:37] <__Oz__> Ahhh [13:37] *frontend [13:37] __Oz__: Everything in the end still uses apt to get stuff from the repositories. apt-get, aptitude, add/remove, synaptic, adept, etc... [13:37] Odd-rationale, thanks for the help. [13:37] <__Oz__> that helps shed some light. [13:37] <__Oz__> Pici: right... so synaptic is just another way of doing it, with "finer" control over what you get (i.e. dev packages and whatnot.) [13:37] Me. CLI all the way. :) [13:37] damn, is no-one else having problems running an update lately? [13:38] <__Oz__> When you run an "updatedb" what exactly is happening? [13:38] __oz__ i started off using synaptic because it was easier for me (as an ex windows user).. as i got more familiar with my machine and with linux in general i moved on to apt-get which is easier now that i understand a little aobut what is going on around me [13:38] <__Oz__> dubcat: but don't you need to learn some switches and flags to use with apt-get? [13:38] __Oz__: an index of your filesystem is created [13:38] __Oz__: Not a lot [13:39] why doesn't backspace work in terminal? === Guest943 is now known as skunkworks [13:39] (I have gnu screen running) [13:39] __Oz__: not really [13:39] __oz__ not really - you just install :) and generally when i need to add a repository or something the website relating to the softaware i want to install will tell me exactly what to type in to terminal anyway [13:39] <__Oz__> prince-jammys: I thought it was updating all the software you have by comparing it with the repos you downloaded it from. Is that true? [13:39] __Oz__: Just "apt-get install package" and "apt-get remove package" :) [13:39] <__Oz__> odd-rationale: yeah, I've used that. [13:39] <__Oz__> but using the command line you can't "search" for a package, can you? [13:39] Odd-rationale: __Oz__ don't forget apt-cache search ;p [13:39] __Oz__: Apt-cache [13:40] <__Oz__> Ah. First I've heard of that one. [13:40] __oz__ just use whatever you are familiar and comfortable with - if you like synaptic use it [13:40] __Oz__: Or aptitude search if you like aptitude [13:40] <_coredump_> moinsen [13:40] ok found it [13:40] __Oz__: apt-cache search::: search for packages apt-cache show:: show a specific package (sudo not necessary for either) [13:41] __Oz__: apt-cache search dvd burn :) [13:41] <__Oz__> Is there a tutorial page that explains CONCEPTUALLY what's going on inside linux/ubuntu with apt-get, aptitude, repos, libraries, etc? I have a vague understanding of how it all works but not complete. [13:41] !apt > __Oz__ [13:41] __Oz__: Try "apt-get moo" one of these days... :) [13:41] lol [13:41] <__Oz__> What does that do, odd-rationale? :) [13:41] What is the best kernel for Atlhon 64, know a days I use the x86_64 generic, is the best one ? [13:41] and then again [13:41] __Oz__: Find out! [13:41] super cow powers ! [13:41] <__Oz__> Heh, heh. [13:41] <__Oz__> I won't be back to my home PCs until this weekend so it'll have to wait. :) I will try it though. [13:42] hahahahahhhahaah [13:42] i just did apt-get moo [13:42] :) [13:42] Taurens ftw!

It says mod-period [13:43] its the full stop [13:43] . [13:44] dubcat: Ah thank uyou :) [13:44] its an americanism... =/ [13:44] interesting. ubuntu packages stuff in completely different places than debian. this box will make my head hurt many times in the next couple of years [13:44] dubcat: Next you will have to find the super cow power of aptitude. :) [13:45] i want to use my shell as a proxy: what can i use/install ? [13:45] hello, i need something like an equalizer for my system [13:45] oddd-rationale - i play a tauren in world of warcraft - i have the power of moo! :) [13:45] the bass sucks and there's like no treble [13:45] dubcat: Hint: aptitude -v moo [13:45] what can i use for this? === dm is now known as dmakalsky [13:45] Grab: Try Squid [13:45] odd-rationale - it says there really are no Easter Eggs in this program [13:45] dubcat: try -vv [13:46] <_Oz_> Here's a weird question. Is there a way in Ubuntu (or anything, really) to connect to a router at a remote location and use it as a 'proxy' for internet access? [13:46] hhahahahahhaha [13:46] mactimes, is that good to run on a shell? is that overloading ? [13:46] odd-rationale - ok that made my day.. trying -vvv [13:46] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56619/plain/ [13:46] hahahaha [13:46] Im having that error executing Warsow [13:46] dubcat: Go for it. [13:46] <_Oz_> I have a rental home with a router/DLS modem in it and I would like to be able to access it and browse the web/do things from there. [13:46] this is excellent [13:46] lol [13:46] hi [13:46] keep adding vs ;p [13:46] Grab: That will run as a system service. [13:47] hahahahah it gets better and better - elephant.. snake.. etc [13:47] im always hearin about suse whats the deal [13:47] mactimes, ok, but the problem is: will that overload cpu ? [13:47] Does anyone know how to compile Mplayer with GTK support? [13:47] <_Oz_> regarding apt-get update... don't the programs I install with apt-get update themselves automatically? [13:47] dubcat: its from "the little prince" [13:47] Grab: Not that I know [13:47] <_Oz_> Periodically I get a flag in the tray in Ubuntu saying "updates are ready for download" [13:47] prince - ah ok :) very funny [13:47] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56619/plain/ im having that problem executing Warsow [13:47] _Oz_: Only when you run an update. [13:47] i got up to 6 ;p [13:47] i used to work for a manufacturer of networking gear and we used to put all kinds of easter eggs in our equpiment [13:47] dubcat: keep adding vs! [13:48] <_Oz_> odd-rationale: so I need to make sure I run update regularly. Does anyone chron that? [13:48] faileas haha i did until they resulted in the same message [13:48] <_Oz_> Or is there a package I can install via the gui that will update my stuff automatically? [13:48] Grab: Of course, that will depend on how many requests and clients will be accessing the proxy. But in general, *nix services/daemons run very smoothly. [13:48] _Oz_: there's usually an update applet ;p [13:48] mactimes, thanks for your help. ps: i will use it sporadically, so can i let it run 24/7 or should i switch it off ? [13:48] _Oz_: The update notifier simply reminds you to update. [13:48] <_Oz_> I see. [13:48] Grab: You can set it up not to start up automatically. [13:49] <_Oz_> So clicking that little "fireburts" icon in the tray runs "sudo apt-get update" [13:49] <_Oz_> Correct? [13:49] _Oz_: Corect [13:49] <_Oz_> Ah. [13:49] pretty mugh [13:49] much [13:49] <_Oz_> The picture becomes slightly clearer. [13:49] mactimes, shell is 24/7 on [13:49] Grab: Then, you can use a "general" formula to start it up: sudo /etc/init.d/your_service start [13:49] so if i start it, it will stay forever [13:49] <_Oz_> At the end of the day, ubuntu/linux really is more or less straightforward, isn't it? [13:49] more or less :) [13:49] _Oz_: There is a lot of gui-for-bash-cammand in ubuntu... [13:49] <_Oz_> It's relatively easy to figure all this stuff out after a lifetime of using Windows. [13:49] mactimes, do i need root access ? [13:49] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56619/plain/ im having that problem executing warsow, anyone know what do i need more? [13:50] personally, linux is hard to get started, easy to keep running [13:50] windows is the other way around ;p [13:50] Grab: All administrative tasks require root account or administrative rights. [13:50] Where can I go to make an Ubuntu feature request? [13:50] _Oz_: yes, windows makes it easy by keeping you in the dark about whats going on [13:50] faileas: Never saw it that way before. But now makes sense. [13:50] ozzloy: I made the move from windows to ubuntu in a very dramatic way - i tried to g-part my WORK laptop and screwed it up - since then ive been fully on Ubuntu - and just use virtualbox for anything i need windows for (vpn client for check point for example). [13:51] mactimes, i dont have root access on my shell: so nothing to do ? [13:51] hello [13:51] <_Oz_> prince_jammys: heheh, exactly. [13:51] I'd like to mount a samba share with a user other than root [13:51] <_Oz_> faileas: actually I found ubuntu very easy to get running. [13:51] _Oz_: the challenge in linux is to preserve the user's acces to whats happening in the system without confusing the hell out of normal users [13:51] Odd-rationale: Esp this install. took me 17 1/2 hours striaght cause of bad luck to install;p [13:51] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56619/plain/ im having that problem executing warsow, anyone know what do i need more? [13:51] <_Oz_> faileas: I tried red hat a LONG time ago but it was way beyond me. command line installation. [13:52] Grab: You can ask around, but nothing else to do then, as far as I know. Either you have administrative rights or not. It is that simple. === vwbusguy_ is now known as vwbusguy [13:52] <_Oz_> It is disappointing that ubuntu has such poor wireless support. :( [13:52] the only reason i have to run ANY windows related software is my freakin vpn client :( if there was some way to access check point vpn from linux i could just run outlook from crossover office [13:52] _Oz_: I don't agree. [13:52] _Oz_: Depends on you chipset... It worked right out of the bos with me [13:52] _Oz_: i ended up going through 4 cds, give up tried a net install 4 times, gave up, then ussed wubi and LVPM [13:52] box [13:52] ozzloy: wireless works for me fine on both my vaio and my dell laptops [13:53] * faileas has an intel 2100. old but VERY compatable ;p [13:53] <_Oz_> dubcat: couldn't get any of my machines w/ wireless to work... that was two dell laptops and an old desktop with a wireless PCI card. [13:53] WPA support on gutsy was a good thing tho [13:53] <_Oz_> I simply gave up on wireless for ubuntu. That's why I'm running XP right now on my laptop. [13:53] _Oz_: Never got my hands on a wireless onto a PC/laptop which wireless NIC wouldn't work with Ubuntu. [13:53] _Oz_: what chipset? [13:54] ozzloy: i have a dell latitude d630 and it worked right out of the box with 7.10 gutsy - have you tried that version? [13:54] * faileas only knew one system that had issues with linux [13:54] wtf - im not typing ozzloy!!

No need to compile it [13:58] not wth GTK support? [13:58] Odd-rationale: i believe so [13:58] Odd-rationale: that can be done in KDE? [13:59] didn't know [13:59] prince_jammys: Yes. Just in the Desktop Settings. [13:59] prince_jammys: my HDR background attests to that [13:59] z0mbies: well you have to help me. Does gtk support refer to something other than the standard gui for mplayer? [13:59] faileas: Yes in XFCE? [13:59] <_Oz_> wHAT'S siw, faileas?

[14:31] :D [14:31] grab: try df -h -T [14:31] linduxed: thanks man. right now i'm running compiz and looking for more upgrades. Any idea if you can use iTunes with ubuntu 7.10? I'm trying to get my buddy to switch and that's his condition. [14:31] suppose i have added a few script lines to /etc/rc.local......how do i execute the script? cd /etc and then ./rc.local ? [14:32] white_eagle_: yeah. i got it! [14:32] no hw00djohn sorry but DRM'd files won't work in linux [14:32] MatzeB: Ok good to know :) I though your could do that from synaptic... [14:32] and itunes store doesn't work too [14:32] !itunes | hw00djohn [14:32] hw00djohn: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [14:32] hw00djohn: you can run itunes with wine [14:32] white_eagle_: figured, DRMified sucks...apple sucks. [14:32] arekkusu, synaptic only saved the changes you made to your package selection [14:32] hi, is there a way to retrieve a command you once used and of which you know the start ? (i could browse trough the entire history but that would take me a long time... as it was a long time ago :) ) [14:32] arekkusu, not your whole selection [14:32] what does default ubuntu boot entry look like in grub? [14:32] ka [14:32] could somebody paste that in pastebin [14:32] white_eagle_: Has your system been stable? [14:32] Djoef, yes [14:32] hw00djohn: tell him to try out amarok and hell be blown away [14:33] press the up arrow [14:33] (I am talking about commands in terminal) [14:33] when in terminal [14:33] white_eagle_: how ? [14:33] yes [14:33] ok [14:33] thats browsing trough the entire history [14:33] but i know it was a ssh command [14:33] and i need the settings [14:33] Djoef: or history | grep ssh [14:33] great [14:33] hw00djohn: sudo aptitude install amarok [14:33] ill try [14:33] linduxed: how would i find amarok, also, he has about 80gigs of music, can he turn those m4a's into whatever format amarok uses? [14:34] hi, i just noticed that all the ubuntu default users (sys, bin, sync, games, for example) have a default login shell, even though their logins are disabbled in the shadow file.... would it hurt to change all the /bin/sh [14:34] 's to /bin/false ? [14:34] thank you Pici !! [14:34] hw00djohn: get a terminal up and type that command i just wrote [14:34] grab: try df -h -T <= no result [14:35] could somebody please paste the default grub entry for ubuntu to pastebin [14:35] Where can i DL ''XFree86-DRI''_ [14:35] linduxed: i did, however it says i need my install CD [14:35] Desert_Storm, do you use ati? [14:35] Yes [14:35] fglrx drivers? [14:35] Aciid: There is no 'default grub entry', its dependent on your hardrive layout. [14:35] hw00djohn: amarok uses all kinds of formats, and if it doesnt it just ask you to press a button to have it install automatically [14:35] Aciid: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56626/ the locale and UUID are specific to my install of course [14:35] Pici: Hey there pici. I have been running the liveCD for a whole night and nothing has crashed and nothing is unstable. No random crashes or anything. I didn't have Xorg switched on though (it was on, but i was using the console all the time). So, if the liveCD is stable, but when it's installed it's not - then is it my harddrive? [14:35] !grub | Aciid [14:35] Aciid: 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 [14:35] MatzeB: There is a "save full state" you can check when saving... though that would save it all [14:35] hw00djohn: ok you have to change sources them [14:36] Desert_Storm, I don't know how to help you [14:36] hw00djohn: *then [14:36] Arelis__: I forget what the problem was again. [14:36] linduxed: explain plz [14:36] I guess running xgl and direct rendering with fglrx isn't possible [14:36] Ah [14:36] thank you very much erUSUL [14:36] Grab: type in exactly the following "df -h" into your terminal,that will hsow disk use and loads more. [14:36] Pici: Segmentation faulting programs. Oh, by the way, i memtested for about 5 hours, and no errors. [14:36] How can i fix rendering on games like warsow (Ati Radeon 9550) [14:36] hw00djohn: system -> administration -> software sources [14:36] hi, i just noticed that all the ubuntu default users (sys, bin, sync, games, for example) have a default login shell, even though their logins are disabbled in the shadow file.... would it hurt to change all the /bin/sh 's to /bin/false ? [14:36] Desert_Storm, is that an integrated chip? [14:36] And wine says aswell ''Missing XFree86-DPI'' [14:37] AGP card [14:37] Arelis__: Could be the drive then, could be bad sectors. I'd try a fsck, but that might not help either. [14:37] hw00djohn: when yer there just tell me [14:37] linduxed: what should i enable/disable? [14:38] Pici: I have 'formatted' (used the "use all space" option on the Ubuntu install disc") many times. I don't think it would be a problem with filesystems or partitions, but rather with the actual harddrive. I tested with the SMART utilities and it all gave PASSED. [14:39] brobostigon, i only read : Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [14:39] no valuse [14:39] How can i fix 3D rendering on games like Warsow, its an AGP ATI Radeon 9550, also Wine says its missing ''XFree86_DPI'' [14:39] values [14:39] hw00djohn: disable cdrom, enable all others (except for source....and maybe the fourth one if yer scared of the description) === epifanio_ is now known as epifanio [14:40] linduxed: sudo aptitude install amarok?? [14:40] Arelis__: I'm not sure then... I really haven't had to deal with faulty drives in a long time, :/ [14:40] hw00djohn: now go to the tab "updates" [14:40] Desert_Storm: That's a problem with your drivers. Check the wiki :) [14:40] hw00djohn, go to the terminal [14:40] Okay, thanks )D [14:40] guys ive installed ubuntu in vmware problem is no network devices have shown up :/ [14:40] shouldnt there be a lnc0? [14:41] linduxed: what do i do in the updates tab? [14:41] You mean Ubuntu's wiki_ [14:41] bsdnewb07, is it a wifi card? [14:41] hw00djohn: mark the first three, if yer brave, the fourth too i havent [14:41] link, what topic do i need? [14:41] no white_eagle_ [14:41] I am using 7.10 cant get dvds to play. They show up on the desktop but act like a folder [14:41] its a virtual device provided by vmware [14:41] Pici: Well luckily there is another harddrive, the one that was in this computer when it was bought - and it contains a Windows installation that is very, very stable. It hasn't had any issues like segmentation faulting. I gues I should just try to install Ubuntu on the stable harddrive, but i don't want to lose that super-stable windows installation.

[14:42] Desert_Storm: Yep. I mean ubuntu's wiki [14:42] flipmode: install libdvdcss2 and vlc from medibuntu [14:42] linduxed: i'm only brave on 7chan, but that is irrelevant. should i close after the updates tab changes?

[15:07] <[chr0n0s]> white_eagle_, !! [15:07] what === vwbusguy__ is now known as vwbusguy [15:07] oh, too late [15:07] sorry [15:07] <[chr0n0s]> nothing [15:07] sarah on another computer running Ubuntu or another computer running another operating system? [15:07] AIGLX? Where can i get that [15:08] <[chr0n0s]> Desert_Storm, it's with the gfx drivers i think [15:08] Desert_Storm, you'll must uninstall the drivers [15:08] from the repos [15:08] and get envy [15:08] How? [15:08] er [15:08] Dont suggest envy please [15:08] Desert_Storm, do you reallywant to do that? [15:08] Jack_Sparrow, why not :) [15:08] Sure, want to play Warsow [15:08] envy isn't recommended [15:08] I don't suggest that [15:08] kubitz: running ubuntu [15:08] lol =P [15:08] Darn [15:08] envy is the only thing that worked for me on gutsy [15:08] AIGLX is still in development [15:08] !aiglx [15:08] AIGLX is a project that aims to enable GL-accelerated effects on a standard desktop. Supported cards: Nvidia: GeForce3 or newer; ATI: Radeon 7000 through X800; Intel: i810 or newer. Howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/AIGLX. For older Nvidia or newer ATI cards see !xgl [15:08] Desert_Storm: AIGLX isd not what you want. AIGLX is for desktop effects. you want DRI and GLX [15:08] glx-new didnt, while gutsy's nvidia drivers didn't either [15:08] <[chr0n0s]> pro-rsoft, for ATi drivers? [15:08] Desert_Storm: which ati card? [15:09] sarah so one comp running ubuntu is working and the other isn't? [15:09] Desert_Storm: you should look at the drivers [15:09] no, nvidia [15:09] Desert_Storm: And possibly install fglrx [15:09] Its ATI Radeon 9550 [15:09] Arelis__, its the contrary [15:09] Hello. Someone sent me an MS Word document, which seems to be protected. I can edit some prepared fields with OpenOffice but can't edit the whole text. Where do I find the unlock function? [15:09] xgl is for effects [15:09] Desert_Storm: 9550 can use fglrx [15:09] kubitz: yes, i tried windows with the non working one also but still says network cable unplugged [15:09] white_eagle_: No. Sorry, but AIGLX and XGL are for effects, and GLX is for games [15:09] Okay, where can i get FGLRX_ [15:09] so makes me think maybe hardware error? [15:09] Arelis__, oh all that XGL, blah blah, GLX [15:09] :) [15:09] Desert_Storm: there is a bit of an overlap at that card [15:09] I suppose the logical answer then is that the network card isn't working for some reason [15:10] white_eagle_: yeah, 'tis confusing :) [15:10] Desert_Storm, you already have fglrx don't you? [15:10] esxuse me [15:10] Can you change the network card in that comp to test that sarah? [15:10] do you have compiz effects? [15:10] i have a doubt [15:10] Desert_Storm: fglrx is the propietary drivers [15:10] Ah, yeah [15:10] dont have another :O( [15:10] Desert_Storm: If you have those drivers, that may be the cause [15:10] Desert_Storm: you can get it from thye livna repo [15:10] !fglrx [15:10] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:10] good idea tho thx [15:10] vwbusguy: this is not fedora === juliank0 is now known as juliank [15:10] sorry, wrong channel [15:10] So how do i uninstall them_ [15:10] sarah nah I suppose it's not the kind of thing you keep as a spare :) [15:11] motherboard claims "SATA II"-- lspci shows " IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP61 SATA Controller" is this real SATA device or some kind of bridge? [15:11] i foung this worm, virus, whatever in my pen drive Mircosoftpowerpoint.exe, and i cant remove it with ubuntu, why? [15:11] Desert_Storm: Go to 'screens' in Administration and change the driver from fglrx to radeon [15:11] It does look like a hardware problem though if too different opsystems don't work [15:11] is there any support channel for upgrading to hardyheron ? [15:11] soweto76: real [15:11] maybe i must go buy a wireless card? (would it work if the motherboard integrated one doesnt?) [15:11] !hardy | valberg [15:11] I suppose you tried swapping the cables? [15:11] does anyobe have an idea? [15:11] valberg: 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 [15:11] sarah, I guess you can't change the motheboard integrated one [15:12] RMRV, I suggest using anti-virus software [15:12] sarah could well do - I added a Realtek to one comp and that worked [15:12] but in ubuntu??? [15:12] I guess avast4linux home edition would work [15:12] Okay, gonna reboot [15:12] kubitz: cool thx [15:12] yeah [15:12] Thanks guys [15:12] erUSUL, I was expecting some reference to AHCI but his seems to be connected via IDE [15:12] Desert_Storm: One sec [15:12] Okay [15:12] white: isnt this virus for windows? [15:12] RMRV, linux has antivirus progs, although he doesn't need it [15:13] Desert_Storm: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56630/ Here are my notre on setting up that card... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56630/ [15:13] soweto76: you should be able to configure that on the mb BIOS [15:13] RMRV, yes yes, but that prog. scnas for win virueses so you don't pass them to your friends [15:13] scans* [15:13] What file to overwrite_ [15:13] sarah there is a list of supported network cards somewhere [15:13] bye guys [15:13] erUSUL, OK, thanks, I will take a look. [15:13] !hcl [15:13] 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 [15:13] soweto76: ahci mode for the ide chip i mean [15:13] !hcl [15:13] I have to study o_0 [15:13] brobostigon: Heh [15:13] white: i understant, but, how could'nt i remove it [15:14] ? [15:14] Jack_Sparrow: What file to overwrite [15:14] ubotu that's the one I never remember urls :( [15:14] RMRV, do you have any av software installed? [15:14] soweto76: mine has three modes ahci; raid (fakeraid) and legacy or something like that ahci is prefered for linux [15:14] !tab | RMRV [15:14] RMRV: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [15:14] erUSUL, how does the ide and sata work together -- I thought they were separate. [15:14] kubitz: even if i cant find one of those at best buy i could try out ndiswrapper :) [15:14] :) [15:14] white_eagle_: what is as av software? [15:15] soweto76: they are separate [15:15] Desert_Storm: Have you done this apt-get install xserver-xgl [15:15] ubotu: thanks [15:15] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [15:15] RMRV: antivirus [15:15] RMRV: can you not just delete the file from the pen drive? or format it {assuming anything of value on the drive is backed up elsewhere} [15:15] prince_jammys: no, i do not have ir [15:15] Yes [15:15] sarah you could. I tell what I would say is if you do get Realtek check what chipset it uses because there are two distinct driver for each type and it asked me to select which at setup which caught me out at the time [15:15] erUSUL, this lspci output only show SATA on the "IDE interface" [15:15] Desert_Storm: and then sudo depmod -a [15:16] Did it now [15:16] soweto76: well SATA is an evolution of IDE [15:16] hi [15:16] riotkittie: no, i cant delet it, it apaers again [15:16] Desert_Storm, does dir. rendering work now? [15:16] hi [15:16] !hi | andy_ [15:16] andy_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:16] Desert_Storm: See my notes on the edit of your xorg [15:16] erUSUL, Thanks again. I will fiddle with the BIOS as you suggested. [15:16] is it possible to emulate a mouse button with a keyboard key ? [15:16] can anyone help me please my system hangs when i logoff [15:16] soweto76: they are two forms of ide old PATA (parallel ATA) and new SATA (serial ATA) [15:17] sudo depmod -a, wrote that, now what should i do_ [15:17] question for someone who knows about dvd players.. if I burn a regular data dvd with multiple avi's in the root folder of a DVD.. what are the chances my dvd player will just play them? (yes, I'm to lazy to try) =) [15:17] riotkittie: i meant, just some seconds after deletin, the file is there again [15:17] Desert_Storm: Edit your xorg.conf per the notes [15:17] riotkittie: i wanted to understant why [15:17] andy_ Mine did that - does it say halted but not quite finish? [15:17] erUSUL, OK [15:18] it just locks up if i do a logoff or shutdown [15:18] RMRV: that sounds terribly bizarre. [15:18] i'm thinking it could be the ati drivers [15:18] riotkittie: moreover, my pendrive has broken just after this, or burn, sorry, i dont know how to say this in englush [15:18] erUSUL, I assume that the two SATA connectors are independent and not two drives one channel like the old ide -- that correct? [15:18] riotkittie: it is bizarre for me too [15:18] soweto76: yes [15:19] Ah different problem - I'm too new with linux to answer anything I haven't actually some across :( [15:19] riotkittie: it was working just like a virus for linux [15:19] Jack_Sparrow: Copy the whole note? [15:19] Desert_Storm: I just got online to get my mail... those simple edits should get you going. [15:19] is it possible to emulate a mouse button with a keyboard key ? [15:19] jestes ?? [15:19] erUSUL, 10Q l8r B-) [15:19] See the section on editing the xorg it is only a couple lines [15:19] Ah, okay [15:19] Thanks )D [15:19] joeamined you mean the way you have to be able to with some games? [15:20] no one has any idea? [15:20] Desert_Storm: Save the link as it has other troubleshooting info at the end [15:20] done [15:21] kubitz : no just a keyboard key that has same functionality as the right mouse button [15:21] Desert_Storm: fglrxinfo shows ati and not mesa correct? [15:21] well, thaks anyway [15:21] ATI Technologies Inc. Rendered string: ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series [15:22] yeah [15:22] Desert_Storm: great, take care [15:22] You too :P [15:22] fglrxinfo [15:23] where is the ATI grapihcs card tutorial [15:23] the ubuntu wiki is confusing [15:23] cant find any tutorials [15:24] ive got a light inside my headphone input (red, LED i think) that lights up when i use windows, making it easier to find, however it does not light up in ubuntu, do you know what to do or where to look for a solution?

[15:45] thats what i get [15:45] chris___: run 'top' in a terminal [15:45] Ah; that seems to have worked. [15:45] well it does nothing bigsam [15:45] but it was working better than this after I replaced it [15:45] this was rather sudden [15:45] nemilar: okay, I'm running top [15:45] TrapperDave: ok close it. you dont want to run amarok as superuser. now we're onto something [15:45] pro-rsoft, it says to you that process is waiting for some event on some descriptor .. [15:46] chris___: what's your system load average? are there processes at the top, eating up all your resources? [15:46] Done :) [15:46] pro-rsoft, more with man select [15:46] ~.90 [15:46] but as soon as I do something, it jumps to 2 [15:46] chris___: what process makes it jump? [15:46] .90 is when I'm using bitchx on a text terminal while X is completely idle [15:46] bigsam: no manual entry for select [15:46] nemilar: anything... firefox, gaim (pidgin) [15:47] chris___: but is it those processes that appear in top, or is it something else? (e.g, if you're running Compiz, is it the Xgl process) [15:47] I can't even get X to redraw right now when I hit ctrl+atl+F7 [15:47] i need help, i just type problem here or what should i do ? [15:47] just type your problem [15:47] and hope you get an answer ;) [15:47] !ask [15:47] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [15:47] nemilar: I'm not running compiz, and it lags way before the process at the top (firefox-bin) opens [15:48] my friends choosed too high resolution, so his screen just turned black and nothing else, he can start it in text mode, is it possible to change resolutin there ?

What is the super key keycode ? [16:13] NattyTux: I think with "" bash replaces stuff in the string [16:14] NattyTux, this works here: echo hello blah hi | tr " " _ [16:14] I'm not exactly trying to use alsa for an application. [16:14] NattyTux, that printed hello_blah_hi [16:14] Floi then how do you know it doesnt work out of the box then :) [16:14] yes, it was something I did wrong. [16:14] 10x [16:14] because I tried recording sth with both the audio recorder and audacity and it didn't work [16:15] NattyTux: try these two.. first echo "Hello $USERNAME" then echo 'Hello $USERNAME' [16:15] Floi, then those are the 'applications' you are trying to get the mic to work in (took a bit of digging, but we got there) [16:15] NattyTux: you might want to take a look at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ :) [16:15] true :D [16:15] please, how to find the key codes in ubuntu ?

[16:16] joeamined: try running xev in a terminal [16:16] shinichizio: oh.. ok. you're welcome [16:17] Floi, sometimes you need to setup the hardware individually, within an application, so you want to look in audacity, there should be a setting to switch the audio to alsa. There are also other audio related tools, such as alsamixer (to change volume settings) and lspci (gives you a hardware listing of your [pci] devices) [16:17] Terrasque : Great source , thanks! [16:18] yes. I've been trying alot of things with both alsa and audacity settings, but nothing worked. in alsamixer I have 3 entries that can be turned to "capture" and all of them seem to adress the external micro port [16:19] TrapperDave: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras [16:19] Floi, then try alsamixer, and see which 'level' increases as your speaking... [16:20] Floi, has the audio worked before, if so, what has changed that may have caused it to stop working? [16:20] prince_jammys: I get the same problem. [16:21] how can i know what port ssh is listening to ? [16:21] no I have audio, it's just the integrated micro that doesn't work. you mean if I start alsamixer the level will change when I'm speaking? [16:21] TrapperDave: one more time, because i'm stuck :) :: rm -r ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ [16:21] Grab, you can port scan yourself, System -> Admin -> Network Tools [16:21] What is the correct mysql syntax to select rows with a matching character in a field as in select * from `table` where `field` contains "certain character" ??

[16:22] prince_jammys: Still won't play mp3s; however it will now load from the Applications >> Sound & Video. [16:22] 7.10 is far from stable [16:22] TrapperDave: heh [16:22] Floi, lspci give you the device (please never post more than one line in the channel, for example, do not post your 'lspci' output in here) [16:23] prince_jammys: I think I might need to re-install the mp3 support option for Amarok.

[16:35] Arelis_: Boot into windows, backup important data, use partition magic to resize your NTFS partition and it should work [16:35] Arelis_, you would know :) [16:35] TrustNoOne, i don't have partition magic [16:35] Arelis_: what TrustNoOne said would work,,, are you using vista? [16:35] neverblue, no, this is actually my dad's pc but he gave it to me [16:35] Hammer89, Windows XP [16:35] What do you have for a partitioning software for windows? [16:36] TrustNoOne, I didn't download/buy anything for that purpose [16:36] TrapperDave: i have to step away for a moment -- in the meantime, try sticking those error messages in google [16:36] when using xev, i get a keycode but not the one used in mouseemu. what's the difference ? how to get the right code for mouseemu ? [16:36] Okay. [16:36] Arelis_, well, with some OEM Windows installs, there will be a separate partition, from which you can put in a boot CD, and it will restore your Windows installation on another partition [16:36] Arelis_, that is ofcourse, unless you have the Windows media, then that partition would not be created [16:36] graft is there no other way than cups? [16:37] neverblue, there is only one NTFS partition [16:37] Arelis_: this might be what TrustNoOne was referring to: http://www.soft32.com/download_151.html [16:37] AdvoWork: maybe you could pipe it to kprinter or some such somehow [16:37] I believe you can get partition magic trial software [16:37] AdvoWork: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205050 [16:38] Arelis_, ok, then, if you want to install Ubuntu, keeping the Windows installed as well, I might suggest a virtual machine, as the other methods may cause you to lose all your data (unless you used a tool like partition magic) [16:38] Hello [16:38] I have installed Kubuntu. How do I install GNOME so I can switch to Gnome? [16:38] AdvoWork: although i'd ignore steps 5 & 6 [16:38] neverblue, is partition magic a CD or a software that installs on windows? [16:38] xerxes1358> yes [16:38] AdvoWork: kprinter ought to be able to print straight to PDF without going through CUPS... [16:38] Arelis_, software which you install on Windows, that handles partitions [16:38] Hi, I posted my problem on the Ubuntu forums, can someone please check it and help me? Here it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=701434 [16:39] xerxes1358> just install the "ubuntu-desktop" package.

[16:41] 7.10 [16:41] I just installed it today [16:42] Trashlord: you installed from scratch and it's doing that? i am dubious [16:42] Trashlord: did you install debs not from the repository? [16:42] It started after I tried to download libncurses5, which requires a dependency lib, calld libc6 [16:42] Trashlord: yeah, that's one of the very fundamental system libraries [16:43] exit [16:43] graft tried that, but when i goto print,it does it automatically as it should, but got no idea where its saving to [16:43] It says I need to install a newer version of that library, but it won't do it, and therefore continuing the unmet dependencies problem [16:43] AdvoWork: you tried what? [16:44] Trashlord: you installed gutsy from CD? today? and tried installing alsa-utils via synaptic? [16:44] I installed gusty from CD, today, but all the alsa related packages were installed "manually", via terminal configuration and make commands [16:45] I read in the ubuntu forums that I have to do it, in order to get my EMU 1212m detected and working [16:45] well kater all lets see what I got today lol [16:45] The problem started when I tried to install alsa-utils, and had that unmet dependency lib [16:45] Morning all.. [16:45] where is that guy who wanted direct rendering on ati? [16:45] please call me, I'll give you a page [16:46] I made it available + compiz === whiteeagle is now known as white_eagle [16:46] Question about USB mouse freezes on Fiesty boot - any takers? [16:46] Trashlord: ah... where did you get your alsa-related packages from? [16:46] Do you want me to pastebin you all the packages it tries to remove, when I do apt-get -f install? [16:46] From the Debian website [16:46] white_eagle: what's the page? [16:46] Trashlord: you downloaded their .deb files? [16:46] does anyone remember with who was I talking about [16:46] the rendering [16:47] No, they are tar.bz2 files [16:47] white_eagle: for the good of the community please share! ;] [16:47] please [16:47] Trashlord: ah... okay, and it told you you had some dependency issues... which were what? [16:47] I found a great post at ubuntuforums.org [16:47] about direct rendering and ati [16:47] white_eagle: post the link? [16:47] It told me that I need a Curses library, when I did ./configure on the alsa-utils directory [16:47] when printing to the kde printer, where would it print to/save to? its not giving me any option and ive got no idea where its going [16:48] direct rendering and ati is easy if you have the right card, nearly impossible if you have the wrong card [16:48] is there some tool to autoconfigure xorg.conf?? my X server is not started since i upgraded to gutsy, it says its starting in safe mode and actually safe mode works fine, except when i play a full screen video the whole system freezes [16:48] Trashlord: okay, and you installed that from synaptic? [16:48] I went into the README file there, and it said it requires ncurses, so I tried to apt-get it [16:48] Trashlord: what file was that? [16:48] Trashlord: or what package was that rather [16:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589637 <--- follow the instructions from sdowney717 [16:48] libncurses5 [16:48] white_eagle: desert_storm [16:48] lower from the page [16:48] white_eagle: thanks [16:48] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Hilikus is the cli way [16:48] Can virtualisation be used to crack a bios password [16:49] please let me know when he joins [16:49] Trashlord: okay, so you installed libncurses5, and it said what? [16:49] or you give him that link [16:49] bazhang ill try that [16:49] Hammer89: got it? [16:49] I couldn't install it, I tried, but that required a further dependency lib, called libc6 [16:49] Trashlord: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list? [16:49] It said I need a higher version than the one that is going to be installed, and therefore it refused to install [16:49] white_eagle: yup... thanks [16:49] direct rendering + compiz-fusion works PERFECT [16:49] Alright, one minute [16:50] how i get autologin for gdm? (my live-cd enter on gdm but no have password) [16:50] and I have a crappy chipset -> ati 200m series [16:50] i understand now why windoze has so many crazy ppl users .

[16:52] xerxes1358: you need to disable it in synaptic or adept as a source [16:52] bazhang: where do I do that ? [16:52] kharloss, is that a real commercial? if so, its uber old [16:53] bazhang: got it [16:53] This KDE environment is raising my stress levels skyhigh [16:54] Trashlord: so what happened next? it wouldn't install libc6, then what? [16:54] And then, the orange icon appear at the top bar [16:54] So, I thought there were some updates needed to be installed, I clicked on it, and it told me "Software index is broken" impossible to install or remove software, please type apt-get -f install first [16:55] Xbehave: how can you crack a bios password with virtualization? If there's a bios password, it gets checked before the computer even boots [16:55] Do you want me to pastebin you what happens when I apt-get -f install, graft? [16:56] Xbehave: Read your motherboard manual for how to reset cmos [16:56] graft: i set a supervisor password stupidly hard, i have complete access to the system the bios password only stops me changing sesions [16:56] when will ubuntu allow to play vidoe? [16:56] when will ubuntu allow to play video even [16:56] LimCore: When you install necessary software. [16:56] LimCore, video files, or games? [16:56] LimCore: ubuntu does play video [16:56] LimCore: it has done that for me since the last 7 months [16:57] hehe [16:57] what video limcore--try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:57] genii: its a laptop so id rather not take it apart [16:57] well it plays them, but all 3 players are buggy [16:57] you can do anything, just read the fora & wikis [16:57] LimCore: How so? [16:57] vlc - broken arrow keys seeking [16:57] mplayer - crashes [16:57] vlc works fine for me [16:58] I've used mplayer gxine vlc and they all preform quite well for me. [16:58] LimCore, 'broken'? VLC doesn't seek with and by default, but shift+ shift+ [16:58] vlc works beautiful for me too [16:58] To share a directory to a windows network, is there anything more, except from rightclick on a folder and choose Share Folder ? [16:58] shift, ctrl and alt for different kinds of seeks [16:58] Trashlord: this doesnt work [16:58] vlc/mplayer, both champs [16:58] LimCore: is a troll....

[17:02] I installed xubuntu, how i uninstall ubuntu desktop? [17:02] I LOVE UBUNTU [17:02] but not as much as vista [17:02] Thirsteh: correct [17:02] Trashlord: so, what did you do to get into this situation? [17:02] hehe [17:02] brobostigon: "without known bugs" is also good [17:03] Or how i like activate xubuntu? [17:03] artti: What hardware do you have? [17:03] All I did was try to install libncurses5, then libc6 [17:03] bazhang: no, they have open, confirmed, bugs [17:03] Trashlord: yeah, but both failed [17:03] limcore would you mind pastebinning your sources list? [17:03] Should I remove the first few packages it states there? [17:03] bazhang: I use 0.8.6 Janus, the same as other people who reported bug in VLC [17:03] Before when it says "use autoremove to remove them" [17:03] TrustNoOne: Ubuntu kills vista [17:03] Could that possibly fix them? [17:03] Trashlord: nah that's not important [17:03] LimCore: if you only want bugfree apps I don't really know what you can run.. ubuntu is definately out of the question.. [17:04] Slart: this is unfortunate [17:04] limcore what about pasting your sources list? [17:04] Maybe I need to download a .deb of each of these libraries, and dpkg -i both of them, could that help? [17:04] bazhang: what purpose may that serve? I use regular 7.10 amd64 [17:04] Xbehave: I have previously ran the afudos.exe firmware upgrade utility from Asus underneath Wine, but I wouldn't recommend it. As for booting an iso from Grub, I do not think it is directly possible. Although if you have a partition with cd contents it can boot to that. [17:04] Slart: no piece of software is entirly bug free, bug free is a dream [17:05] limcore how did you get video support working? [17:05] LimCore, if you have a problem with a particular application, describe your problem *in detail* and we'll help you solve it. [17:05] Trashlord: that's a bad idea... you're just going to bork up dependencies even more that way [17:05] usr13, 256 ram, 500 mhz, 8gb hdd [17:05] bazhang: mplayer, kaffeine and other apps installed [17:05] if you have the right tuned setup in linux, you will notice how slow windows is [17:05] artti: Stick with xubuntu [17:05] brobostigon: but ubuntu seem to have notificbly more bugs then typical windows software [17:05] artti: Just add apps as needed. [17:05] indeed limcore--describe with precision instead of just saying its broken--what packages and what methods did you use to install video support [17:06] freewilly - most truthful observation indeed...

The only time you're going to hear about a Windows bug is when some critical security flaw is found. Ubuntu bugs are anything from security vulnerabilities to TYPOS [17:07] Has anyone had any luck installing ubuntu onto a drive connected to a 3ware 9550 SX raid controller? According to 3ware's site, Ubuntu 6.06 should have built-in support, but when I try to install 6.06 Server LTS, it just hangs when it tries to read the drives. Suggestions?

[17:22] Trashlord: no probs... let that be a lesson to you about installing debs from strange places! [17:22] no not delete it, i just don't want it to run [17:22] Heh, I spent like 5 days trying to netboot a live CD, and .. I ended up not using it ! =D [17:22] I sure have learned my lesson [17:22] clocKwize: hide it? [17:22] Slart: see? broken :-/ [17:22] hello, someone know which is the ubuntu's spanish channel? [17:22] Thirsteh: Sans is not a font [17:22] LimCore: works nicely for me. I don't use fields that much [17:22] Trashlord: btw, you probably originally wanted libncurses5-dev, which you can intsall from the repository [17:22] !es [17:22] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [17:22] graft, I guess the other .deb was meant for Debian particularly, not ubuntu [17:23] <_elemental> darkstar002, automate what exactly? [17:23] Slart: its show stopper for me :/ [17:23] Since I downloaded it from the Debian website [17:23] gracias :) [17:23] ? [17:23] prego [17:23] I have a quick question [17:23] LimCore: You should try 32bit [17:23] I need some help setting xorg for twinview, gnome will not start after setting it up. twinview noob alert. . . . [17:23] LimCore, right.... [17:23] Trashlord: right... it'll probably make its way into ubuntu eventually, but for now it's a bit ahead of the curve [17:23] Anyone used wifidog ? [17:23] i'm programming a kind of cpanel, but by my own, so i've i make a new domain there also need to be a analyse log file [17:24] Is anybody else having a lot of problems with ubuntu crashing alot? Lately?? [17:24] Thirsteh: Sans is not a font, its a general name that maps to actuall font like "Bitstream Sans" [17:24] leeping2009: kind of === LifeHacker is now known as tuxmaniac [17:24] hey prince_jammys: i jusy tried sudo apt-get install unrar and it said "E: Invalid operation install" [17:24] I'm having an issue in firefox. Some flash applets start, then disappear after a few seconds. I've found mention of this in the forums, but no solutions. I've tried reinstalling both firefox and flash. [17:24] LimCore, thank you for that information [17:24] LjL: I've successfully cloned 12 systems now. Thanks again for the help yesterday :) [17:24] <_elemental> darkstar002, still not sure what you want to automate [17:24] !twinview [17:24] It Take 3 Tries to Open up Pidgin and about 3 hours of use Computer just drops dead for no reason [17:24] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [17:24] prince_jammys: it would help if i spelled install correctly. :D [17:24] leeping2009: by changing the kernel? [17:25] hw00djohn: i was going to say [17:25] if you generate the awstats you always need to give the domainname with it [17:25] emperorcezar: I've seen that too.. I tried running those flash applets in the adobe standalone player.. the player crashed [17:25] !dualhead [17:25] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [17:25] Thirsteh: by default Sans maps to Bitstream sans which incorrectly display common European/Latin glyphs. Dejavu Sans is corrected in this respect, but the font is very thin/gray :( Can you recommend a solution? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/179157 [17:25] but that's impossible because i don't know it, if people add a new domain.. [17:25] I'm getting a 500gb SATA drive will ubuntu detect that drive immediately once its installed [17:25] Slart: It didn't consern me until it started doing it with some youtube embeded videos recently. [17:25] harushimo yes u should have no problem with it [17:26] harsh [17:26] Hey Gang. Which dpkg/apt-get command do I use to find out what files were installed by {package}? (e.g. nictools-pci) [17:26] i'm just checking. thanks I appreciate [17:26] de quoi ? [17:26] LjL: Yep, that's all I had to do .. I started from a clean install from the Gutsy live CD and I updated the kernel to Hardy from a usb drive; I had to update a few other things because of altered dependencies like libc6-dev and libc6 [17:26] harushimo might have to add it to /etc/fstab and format it but other than that [17:26] emperorcezar: I think someone at adobe had a bad day coding the latest version.. never saw that happen with the version before the current one [17:26] Griz: dpkg -S nictools-pci [17:26] je parle pas très bien l'anglais moi :( [17:26] dpkg -l griz [17:26] okay thats what i figure [17:26] <_elemental> darkstar002, are you using apache2, which vhost method(Named or IP)? [17:26] !fr | Patient-Zero [17:26] LimCore, again, localization is very thorough. I seriously doubt common German and Czech characters 'don't work' when there's support for languages that aren't even anymore [17:26] Patient-Zero: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [17:27] does anyone know how to format an usb hard drive [17:27] named [17:27] leeping2009: err... you upgraded lib6 to the Hardy version? and things still work? [17:27] LimCore, spoken anymore* [17:27] prince_jammys: okay, i just tried to install unrar and it ran into an error about openoffice.org not being configured... any ideas? "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [17:27] harushimo: the same way you format any drive? or no? [17:27] LjL, Thank You. That was what I was after! [17:27] oops my bad griz please ignore [17:27] harushimo: gparted [17:27] Slart: thats what I thought [17:27] bazhang, Nice Try and the thought is appreciated. :-) [17:27] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk&feature=related [17:27] gparted is partitioner [17:27] LjL: I installed the systemimager client and things still work. Should I expect more problems down the line? =P [17:27] Thirsteh: yes, ubuntu just fails to display european characters, as reproted and confirmed by many people on bug tracker - just see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-bitstream-vera/+bug/11180 [17:27] gparted can format partitions too [17:27] Slart: Maybe I can downgrade [17:27] I need to format. gparted doesn't have format option [17:27] hw00djohn: what was the command you typed before that error came up? [17:27] harushimo: gparted can format too [17:28] the sad thing is, it just installed a changelog and nada more. :-( [17:28] <_elemental> darkstar002, my suggestion would be to write a small shell script to parse the httpd-vhost.conf file and get the assorted hosts, then execute awstats for each host [17:28] LjL: The Hardy version of libc6 was a dependency for compiling the Hardy kernel [17:28] harushimo: try right clicking on a partition.. I get options for formatting [17:28] LimCore, whatever, help yourself [17:28] <_elemental> darkstar002, you can then cron that and get daily/hourly/etc updates automated [17:28] Thirsteh: thanks for help and good attitute [17:28] leeping2009: possibly. a mismatching libc6 is generally bound to give problems... although i don't know how big a bump it is from the Gutsy to the Hardy libc6. if your programs still run, it's probably not particularly big ;) [17:28] hw00djohn: you were unraring a word document? [17:29] apache delivers a complete how to online for configuring vhosts [17:29] prince_jammys: where do i go to paste large amounts of text? maybe u can read it there. also, i was unraring some sound files. [17:29] harushimo: you have to unmount the partition first.. otherwise it's just greyed out [17:29] oh okay [17:29] !paste | hw00djohn [17:29] ok i'll try that [17:29] hw00djohn: 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) [17:29] thx! [17:29] vhost by port are very simple in apache [17:29] 'lo all.. recently got a new machine, moved my ubuntu hd to it and everything works except sound... sound works fine on the new box with the live cd, how can i get the system to reconfigure the sound? [17:29] thats probably the problem [17:29] <_elemental> darkstar002, np good luck [17:29] or is there a better program then awstats?

[17:31] oh i will check it out [17:32] hw00djohn: it seems that you had partial installation of openoffice that apt-get tried to complete, and all those errors are related to that [17:32] hw00djohn: unraring works fine, right?

Look into mono possibly also [18:18] frold: nope [18:18] prince_jammys, trying to get streaming video from sites like netflix and ABC to work [18:18] kesi install virtual box or vmware-server and run windows in a virtual machine [18:19] what really seems strange to me is the ` at the beginning....isnt that supposed to be a ' instead ? [18:19] I hate windoze [18:19] kesi i particularly like virtual box its lightweight and has a nice feature of showing your windows programs as if they run inside linux [18:19] cause when i do a cd `/mnt/webdav/foo/bar/foo/foo bar/foo/' [18:19] this does not work [18:19] add/remove programs vs synaptic package manager, which one do you use the most and why? [18:19] any idea is greatly appreciated [18:20] that was a little scary.. that install just crashed gnome...it came back up though so hopefully all is good [18:20] tafkaz: does the folder exist? [18:20] yup of course [18:20] usser: KVM > you [18:20] my ubuntu is reallllyyyy slow, even slower than xp. Any well-known reasons for this? [18:21] danbhfive, all the files are there but cant be copied [18:21] tafkaz: have you checked the permissions? [18:21] absalom: slow in what way? [18:21] absalom: what is slower then xp? the general interface? file transfers? what? [18:21] cd `/mnt/webdav/foo/bar/foo/foo bar/foo/' doesnt work but cd '/mnt/webdav/foo/bar/foo/foo bar/foo/' [18:22] permissions of the folder ? [18:22] hm [18:22] Computer is still dam slow. [18:22] can read ! [18:22] tafkaz: the ` tick is not used to delimit strings with ', usually... [18:22] umm if i use nice, is a higher nice number faster, or slower? [18:22] the interface, especially firefox [18:22] Anybody here have problems with *some* DVDs? Recent Disney ones and Terminator 3 just refuse to play for more than a minute here =( [18:22] tafkaz: ls -al [18:22] it takes a couple of second to scroll, close a tab, switch to a tab etc [18:23] How do you force X to use a particular resolution when it starts. I have a dual-head display on a Radeon 8500, Ubuntu 7.10 [18:23] Oli```: nope don't have a problem but you most likely do not havie something installed [18:23] c1|freaky: I think higher means slower [18:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root [18:23] and just a minute ago ubuntu logged me out [18:23] c1|freaky: think of it as how "nice" the program will be to others. High number is "very nice" and thus will let other programs go first [18:23] absalom: are you familiar with 'top'? [18:23] ok [18:23] i need help to install graphics driver anyone?

Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [18:25] graft: firefox-bin takes up about 95-105% of cpu [18:25] right...but its still a damn cool thingie [18:25] tafkaz: that should work, it should allow for copying [18:25] danbhfive, right but it doesnt [18:25] absalom: well thats why your firefox is slow :P thats odd. did this just happen recently or always happens? did you install any addons to firefox? [18:26] kitche: I've got *everything* installed. It's possible that it's the drive but I thought it might be down to new DRMs that these jokers keep trying to squeeze onto their DVDs [18:26] list [18:26] hm, yes, two addons, firebug and some web dev toolbar [18:26] tafkaz: well, I don't think you need to use ' or ` [18:26] absalom: firefox has some flash issues for me. randomly it will freeze if i try to move away from a flash video. :\ [18:26] i cant find envy [18:26] AtomicSpark: that's a well know error [18:27] danbhfive, well no of course i only do a cp -r /mnt/webdav /usr/local/backup [18:27] absalom: yeah... clearly something ain't right [18:27] anunez48: Envy is not supported by us.

[18:30] When i know that i have Xubuntu? [18:30] absalom: hmm, which flash plugin are you using?

[18:35] Jack_Sparrow: Apt get install nothing, I am calling it to worko n the error from before. I was installing xubuntu-desktop from an Xorg-free Ubuntu. Then those three gave error. Apt-get install without anything automatically works on erros from before. So apt-get install acpid acpid-support and that powermanagement one [18:35] norml_advocate: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [18:36] well theres a space in one folders name....but hey....this should work [18:36] danbhfive that brought my NM applet back, but not my quick user switch [18:36] prince_jammys, how can i configure davfs to be more verbose ?

[18:38] norml_advocate: you can use gtkorphan to remove some of those old kde packages [18:38] norml_advocate: FYI [18:39] tafkaz: there has to be a better channel than this for your problem [18:39] but I do have one more question. My computer just hung a min. ago. It never did that b4 in ubuntu. do i want to remove the old kde packs? [18:39] [18:39] prince_jammys, u know any ? :-) [18:39] Does anyone know, when i have installed Xubuntu and it's active???

[18:44] is there a way to do some kind of super duper premade meta update [18:44] ? [18:44] artti: Xubuntu still may need some gnome packages, but it won't let you remove them without a fight if you try. [18:44] pici, when i have Xubuntu, should lsb_release -a show me Xubuntu? [18:44] artti: probably not. [18:45] artti: What did you install? From the xubuntu CD or just the xubuntu-desktop package? [18:45] How do I now remove all KDE stuff from my machine?

[19:07] yes ntfs. tried fat32 on f: drive first and didn't work so i formated to ntfs [19:08] How do I disable that, without disabling the mic for good. [19:08] * chalcedny smiles [19:08] (i.e. see user/group assignments) [19:08] matty: thats how you guarantee all web browsers can understand it too [19:08] anyone here use gnome? [19:08] hi. when i source configuration files in .profile the configuration (paths etc.) works in terminal, but not in gnome. where should i source the files so gnomes honores the configuration [19:08] TuxLuv, such a question ;) [19:08] stooge: if you're talking to someone it's usually polite to prepend their name so it gets highlighted. are you familiar with fdisk? [19:08] À will not be displayed in emails sended with mail(); [19:08] or im wrong? [19:08] matty: instead of the thing where it's like: he said ?how?s it going?? thing where all the " are replaced with ? [19:08] Boglizk, Yeah I dont have any sound at all [19:09] Kibbles: groups username [19:09] hello, im using feisty and have a nsviewplugin fault, is there a fix for this? [19:09] matty: if its html email, itll work fine [19:09] shwellter, did you google for that? [19:09] Boglizk, well only Gnome has sound but the applications have no sound. None of them [19:09] eadG - thanks [19:09] panbhfive, i finded? [19:09] it isnt html email, only text [19:09] chalcedny:are you good at configuring gnolkme? [19:09] graft used it to in windows [19:09] chalce i did, there's too much info [19:09] matty: and if its plain text email, php *should* convert it all to utf-8 [19:09] panbhfive, nothing again, sorry. [19:09] Guys I have a problem. None of my application have sound (Gnome makes sound at login ) What to do ? [19:09] stooge: are you running the livecd now? [19:09] omfg this is pissing me off, i install the nonfree flash plugin for firefox yet it still bitches about it not being installed, when i go to install it again, it says its installed [19:10] TuxLuv, but until you asked the real question nobody knew what you needed [19:10] matty: utf8_encode turns it into unicode [19:10] Eckos: about:plugins [19:10] matty: i mean utf_encode() [19:10] !ask | TuxLuv [19:10] TuxLuv: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [19:10] Eckos: you might have another version sitting somewhere else (e.g. ~/.mozilla/plugins) [19:10] leh, if you put your sourcable config scritpts in to .bash_profile, I guess Gnome will use the resulting environment [19:11] OK, thanks. I need xhost + command to stay permanent after reboot - any ideas? [19:11] xerxes1358: try killing esd [19:11] graft: i am working on another computer at this time. [19:11] graft: doesn't show flash [19:11] is there any way to get the Ubuntu .iso onto a bootable USB stick, from windows? [19:11] just like mail(...,utf_encode($text)); ? [19:11] matty: yeah, think so [19:11] Eckos: huh. where does firefox live? /usr/lib/firefox? [19:11] thats an idea [19:11] graft, killall esd ? no such process [19:12] !install > ConstyXIV (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [19:12] matty: the sooner this charset thing dies, the better [19:12] when i return from resume, i get 2 prompts for unlocking the keyring so i can log into the network. this is after upgrading to 7.10. how do i make it just 1? [19:12] stooge: well, that ain't very helpful... i suggest when you get back on there, you fool around with fdisk. delete the small ntfs partition with that if you can, then see if the livecd will use the free space. if it won't, you can make a new linux partition and a new linux swap partition [19:12] graft: yeah [19:12] im on the livecd === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [19:13] matty: i mean, we no longer have computers capable of only doing 1, maybe 2, charsets so that russian computers cant open french douments, but having all the different charsets is still messy [19:13] Eckos: oh... no actual ubuntu installed? [19:13] graft: what should i format that partition in? [19:13] NE1 know what script is executed after gnome login? [19:13] gatestone: thx, i'll try that out [19:13] stooge: ext3 [19:13] stooge: ext3 (Linux extended) [19:13] graft: no, because im currently in the process of encrypting my hdd [19:13] stooge: windows's formatter cant do it [19:13] TuxLuv, crons probably will [19:14] macogw: well the only really messy part is formats & protocols which don't specify the character set used [19:14] Eckos: hmm... well i dunno how things do/don't work in that environment [19:14] why can't they just include it by default automatically [19:14] well, thank you, we will test it and if it does not work we will come back again :P [19:14] Eckos: -nonfree? [19:14] graft let me reboot maybe that will help. brb [19:14] neverblue: Crons? You mean the crontab???? [19:14] graft: isn't gparted on the ubuntu live disk, wouldn't that do it? [19:14] stooge: yeah, that too [19:14] graft: the free one sucks hard [19:14] anyone used wifidog or nocat with ubuntu? [19:15] hey how to install GDM theme? [19:15] narf. [19:15] TuxLuv, excessive question marks are not required to get my attention [19:15] nonix4: the demoronizer still has a reason to exist [19:15] graft: ok. i'll try that. thanks [19:15] Eckos: i assume there's some licensing issue [19:15] i'm connecting to a remote server through ssh. I know the remote server has samba share... can't find it in terminal? where should i be looking? [19:15] macogw: definitely... and imnsho utf-16 should die a slow, horribly painful death :) [19:15] neverblue: - sorry no intend to offend. [19:15] zelrikriando: system->preference->appearence and drag and drop [19:15] nonix4: front page doesnt output proper latin-1 either...they've still got their fake code points for quotes [19:16] TuxLuv, and yes, I was referring to setting a cron, not using crontab directly, man cron should be able to help [19:16] Kibbles: how are you going to find a samba share in a terminal? [19:16] macogw: and euro sign... [19:16] graft blah i hate stupid licensing issues, but why doesn't my other distro complain about it? [19:16] graft: umm, I have no clue - grasping at straws here. [19:16] Kibbles: you can use smbclient to browse the host via samba [19:16] nonix4: or copyright [19:16] Kibbles: if you're ssh'd into the host, you're browsing it's local directory tree - samba shares only exist as exports [19:16] macogw: basically that 1252 garbage is not latin-1, period. [19:17] neverblue: Are you suggesting I set a cron job to run the xhost+ command? How would it know when gnome has been logged in? [19:17] guys, in ubuntu how can i trigger the system to send an email to 'root' or 'superuser' [19:17] Kibbles: s/it's/its/ [19:17] dosent matter whats in the email, just need the system to send me one as a test [19:17] nonix4: ive emailed websites before telling them to go to the HTML tab in Front Page and delete the copyright sign and put in © so their site doesn't look stupid to people who don't use IE [19:17] graft: but wouldn't i see samba on the server's local directory tree somewhere? [19:17] graft: even if i couldn't see the actual share internals [19:18] Eckos: doesnt work [19:18] TuxLuv, you asked about setting up something that runs when Gnome is entered... it might not be the best suggestion, but it may accomplish what you want (this is in no part related to your xhost question) [19:18] Kibbles: well, sort of... samba just says, "Okay, take directory /whatever/directory/ and map it to samba share "BUBBA'S SAMBA SHARE"" [19:18] Kibbles: so if you tool around enough you can find /whatever/directory/, but there's no, like, /this/is/the/samba/share/directory/ [19:18] Does anyone know how to get vmware player to work [19:19] Kibbles: or rather, there's no /BUBBA'S SAMBA SHARE/ directory [19:19] Syxx: whats your problem? [19:19] gatestone: hmmm, didn't work... [19:19] neverblue:OK, that's what I thought you meant. I suppose it's at least a fall back solution. Thank you. [19:19] Syxx, can you ask something more specific? [19:19] graft: ah thanks, never used samba myself. so you say i have to connect to to the same server using smbclient [19:19] graft [19:19] ok i downloaded vmware player lastnight and i cant gert it to install [19:19] err [19:19] graft: does 7.10 have smbclient pre-installed? [19:19] get* [19:19] Kibbles: no idea... easy enough to install, tho [19:19] Syxx: the rpm? [19:20] Syxx, so the installation, I am sure the website where you downloaded it from, has a clear explaination on how to install it [19:20] rpm? [19:20] Syxx, is it a .deb atleast? [19:20] Kibbles: if you're ssh'd in, you CAN find the local directory, and accessing it via sftp might be preferable to using Samba [19:20] no tar [19:20] graft: lol don't want to install it - trying to wade through bosses stupid instructions [19:20] Syxx, and your not installing vmware via synaptic.... because? [19:20] Kibbles: takes two seconds via synaptic, mate... [19:20] graft: how could i do that [19:21] graft: join #kibbles ? this is dragging on [19:21] hi [19:21] Syxx: just download it from add/remove and that'll take care of everything [19:21] how can i use my blue tooth adapter in ubuntu? [19:21] ImportError: No module named xrandr [19:21] why do i get that? [19:21] ok let me lookd [19:21] look [19:21] how do i i nstall it? [19:22] Syxx aptitude search vmware (in a terminal) [19:22] what happened to vmware-player? i can't find it in the repositories [19:22] i found it in add/remove [19:23] Syxx: off you go and install it so :) [19:23] VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386) [19:23] Wasnt there a entire package to install ALL POSSIBLE audio/Video plugins for linux ?

[19:26] !bluetooth [19:26] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [19:26] eax: It does by default. [19:26] Neeku, check out first if linux recognizes your bluetooth. Dmesg | grep ... and follow the guide. [19:26] eax: just name the folder you want; locate does a string search in it's database. so searching for /rich/local for example, will find everything in the local dir in my home [19:27] xerxes1358: it used to detect it; but now it doesn't [19:27] leh, did log out of Gnome? [19:27] EADG_: For me, it doesn't :( [19:27] xerxes1358: what's next after 'dmesg | grep'...? [19:28] nickrud: I want it to search FOR folders :) [19:28] gatestone: yes, i restarted gdm too [19:28] Neeku, read the guide. It is too long ago for me :) [19:28] gatestone: i already added it to .profile .gnomerc /etc/profile [19:28] and by the way, bluez-utils is already installed [19:28] how do I mount the usb drive? [19:29] Did you add it to .bash_profile? [19:29] NE1 know how to execute a script on autologin? [19:29] xerxes1358: ahhaa! it's detected now; but i can't see it on panel [19:29] eax: it's gonna find everything in that folder, true. you do need to know the name of the folder already. [19:29] harushimo, umount /path/to/mounted/dir [19:29] graft, when I try to do aply foo.MP3 I hear a lot loud noise. [19:29] Neeku, sweet [19:30] eax: I'm not sure what you mean by 'search for folders' I guess [19:30] xerxes1358: not sure aplay supports mp3... try mplayer [19:30] Neeku, sudo hidd --search [19:30] ? [19:30] Nickrud: I want it to search for folders with a specific name :) Not just search IN the folders. Like searching for an folder named "vmware" [19:30] TuxLuv: add the script to system->prefs->session [19:31] graft: did as you said. formatted the 114gb drive to ext3 using ubuntu live cd. still won't recognise the partition.

Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [19:32] is this how the command works: umount /path/to/mounted/dev/sda [19:32] xerxes1358: it says searching... and then nothing happens [19:32] is this right command I typed [19:32] graft: don't understand? [19:32] stooge: um, you know pastebin? [19:33] how do i enable multiverse [19:33] !gutsysources | Syxx [19:33] Syxx: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab.

[19:52] anyone who has worked with ossec hids ?' [19:52] graft, in that case I will just leave it. KDE raises my stress levels. :) seriously, the menus are no where as intuitive as Gnome. [19:52] ciao [19:52] imc1: I am unable to un install apache2 :( [19:52] gzb: okay thanks. I'll see what I can find out by looking on the net. I imagine it has something to do with not sensing the headphone jack. [19:52] Say for example like it works on windows, ' + e = e accent aigu. Or even alt+130 [19:52] Again: Is it possible to combine two highlighting templates in gedit? That of R and latex? [19:53] imc1: to un install also DPKG returns error!! [19:53] could desktop effects be disabled due to a recently installed package? [19:53] Hello, could someone help me with font sizes in firefox? [19:53] xerxes1358: All those menus are negotiable. [19:53] graft, there is one thing though. When I log in (at start of GDM) My fonts look awe full. You know where you ought to type in your name and password. [19:53] Hi im trying to boot the ubuntu live disc but it always freezes at the same point just as it loads the top and bottom bars i dont know if it is to do with the fact i have my hdd connected to a ite IT8212 ide slot [19:53] xerxes1358: You can change the KDE menus just as easily as the gnome ones. [19:54] I only disliked KDE when I used gentoo. Of course after it compiled I liked it :) [19:54] sdsheeks: yep, i saw some workarounds, none worked perfectly but i had to move on before i gave them any real time [19:54] xerxes1358: you mean the start menu? I agree the gnome system is much better (though since my gf designed it i'm a bit biased) [19:54] I need some help [19:54] usr13, true KDE looked very very slick. But are there GNOME copies of the menus? If I have to re configure everything like Gnome then why not just use Gnome?? [19:54] gzb: does your laptop have dual headphone jacks? [19:54] coiuld somebody help me please? [19:55] sudo hidd --connect 00:12:8A:24:6B:59 [19:55] Can't get device information: Success [19:55] graft, really ? nice. [19:55] graft, what is her name? [19:55] Hi im trying to boot the ubuntu live disc but it always freezes at the same point just as it loads the top and bottom bars i dont know if it is to do with the fact i have my hdd connected to a ite IT8212 ide slot [19:55] with the 690G amd which run an intergrated mother board [19:55] xerxes1358: never mind, i'm sure she wouldn't appreciate my gossiping [19:55] When I load some sites in firefox (digg, ubuntuforums), the fonts are too big. But other sites are fine. Any ideas? [19:55] i got vmware player on ubuntu 7.10 [19:56] sdsheeks: it is a vaio with one headphone socket if that is what you mean [19:56] gzb: okay just curious if was only with the dual jacks or not. Mine has dual headphone jacks. [19:56] I need to re-detect my monitor settings -how? [19:57] graft, her name would be part / listed in the OS developers. I wanted to google her. interesting that she has developed the menu structure. I think it is very good! Maybe as good as OS X dock [19:57] Suddenly I'm in the world of low-res, no effects from 1024x768 and cool effects [19:57] does anyone know what a "fatal error" is? [19:57] little context Taco_King? [19:58] Taco_King: It usually means that the error is so bad that the process that caused it needs to close. [19:58] in the terminal, about every 10 seconds i get a message that says fatal error [19:58] so what do i do I am a virgin at this [19:58] sdsheeks: i got just one but had the same problem, one of the workarounds was to play with the sound levels of the different inputs which worked partly [19:58] Taco_King: have you upgraded to gutsy a moment ago? [19:58] Hi im trying to boot the ubuntu live disc but it always freezes at the same point just as it loads the top and bottom bars i dont know if it is to do with the fact i have my hdd connected to a ite IT8212 ide slot [19:58] is there anyone the could help? [19:59] Taco_King: I got something similar when I did that, and it required removing a package [19:59] Taco_King: I also could not mount all my partitions while it went on [19:59] i did upgrade to gusty [20:00] Taco_King: then it is a known problem, and you just need to remove one package, but I just can't remember what was it called [20:00] Taco_King: google the error, and I am quite sure you will find some more info [20:00] ok, ty [20:01] Hi im trying to boot the ubuntu live disc but it always freezes at the same point just as it loads the top and bottom bars i dont know if it is to do with the fact i have my hdd connected to a ite IT8212 ide slot [20:02] !boot [20:02] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [20:02] conb123: try some of the boot options sugested on ubotu link page [20:03] Ok ill have a look [20:03] conb123: I am no expert, but have you tried to boot the cd with no hdd connected to see if it works ? [20:03] nope why do you think my hard drive may have broke [20:04] hi everybody. [20:04] hey [20:04] penis [20:05] conb: no, you raised that as a possibilty. That would be one way to confirm/deny it as the issue [20:06] Does the ubuntu live disc need to read from the hdd in the first stage of startup while loading menus [20:06] yeye [20:06] need some help here. i would like to install the ubuntu to an external hard drive. and only boot up when i plug my ubuntu's usb when the computer start up. is there any tutorial about this? because im quit new in this way. [20:07] Because it probably wont be able to recognize my hard drive it needs some drivers to be loaded but i only have them in inf format [20:07] Hello [20:07] conb123: I think so, but not sure. it should just ignore the hdd if it cant see one. [20:08] conb123, no, it doesn't [20:08] Can enyone help me with a printer problem? [20:08] Is there a way to load drivers before startup like in windows xp i have th drivers on floppy in inf format [20:08] it does read from it at one point or another but it doesn't need to [20:08] hello all [20:08] jabez:what kind of hard drive is it?(read/write speed) [20:08] conb123, why do you need to? [20:09] BALLZSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssss [20:09] conb123: if those drivers are for Win XP, then they do not work with linux [20:09] i know [20:09] but i was hoping i could maybe convert them i dont know im a noob [20:09] please help asked [20:09] Taco_King: Travelstar 80GB usb 2.0 [20:09] Question: How do I update compiz fusion? [20:09] conb123, why do you need to access the harddrive before the CD loads? [20:10] conb123: also, the inf is a description for Win XP about how to set up the drivers, it is not the driver itself [20:10] i dont im just trying to work out what the problem might be it freezes while starting up [20:10] can someone give me a hand, I just made the jump and so far so good, but I'm some problems with ati and 200m vid card [20:10] I'll spare you the trouble and tell you it's not your harddrive [20:10] !ati | Ironfis1 [20:10] Ironfis1: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:11] i checked the disc for problems and it showed none [20:11] hi can anyone recommend an IMAP server for ubuntu?

Is there way? [20:26] jabez, why don't you want to install Grub to the MBR?

[20:35] how to? im a linux newbie here. after i try it, i like it verymuch. [20:36] i think the idea is to fsck your system off the live disk and make it bootable again [20:37] what is that?? i dont know... :-x [20:37] the fsck is the 'filing system check' [20:37] equivalent to scandisk in windows [20:37] i see.. [20:38] How can I tell which program is attached to (tying up) a port? [20:38] to mount a drive is to make it visible in your directory tree [20:39] can you tell me the steps how to make it? i dont know much about the linux system and terminal things. [20:39] as i said i've never done it you will need commands others will tell you there is probably a FAQ [20:39] Hey guys does any one know if there is to specify in gnome to auto mount a volume on boot. [20:39] how can I modify tooltip settings? (I know where to modify their colors) [20:39] jabez, mount -t ext3 /dev/sdax /mnt/sdax -replace x with partition number [20:39] e.g. when they appear, etc. [20:40] you can specify the location for it to be mounted but I can't find something like auto mount [20:40] thanks for your kindness :)) i will search somewhere else :)) [20:40] where can i find second life folder in ubuntu?

Ages ago I tried edubuntu. With it came some education software that I would like on this machine as my kids are at that stage now, and need some of it. Is there any way of getting those programs onto here? I've had a quick look in Add/Remove programs but am not happy with the education programs i see on the list. [21:03] sdsheeks: i've never used it myself... i have a blind faith on my hard disks XD [21:03] erUSUL: omg i like. It is even console based! [21:03] erUSUL: oh i've never had one fail, but I feel more comfortable knowing I have a copy of my system. I used gentoo for years and years and the installs take days.

[21:06] oh yes. paco reminded me. My sound is much quieter on ubuntu than on windows with no hardware of sound settings changed. Any reason why? [21:06] ? [21:07] erUSUL: good utility, but requires the partion be unmounted. I was looking for more of a live image tool. I'll keep looking. [21:07] Wirwing: dyy1, please join #compiz-fusion [21:07] ml: I know knoppix has one, it's called "nousb". You could try. [21:07] *hardware or sound settings changed* [21:07] Agh. Are there any known work arounds for getting a Dimension E310 to work with the Ubuntu install disk? I read it's an issue with the USB chipset and the only way to get it to work is using an onboard USB card [21:07] hey hey, linux ram question. I've got a server running ubuntu. How do I find out what kind of memory it has? I see /proc/meminfo, but it has stats, not memory info (like manufacturer and ecc stuff etc.) [21:07] I am now truly fed up with windows [21:07] glad I have these discs now... [21:08] hunteke: theres a command lsfn or something. hang on a sec [21:08] folks whats the best way to recover data from this HD [21:08] i dont think its seriously messed up but i cant mount it [21:08] hunteke: free -m [21:08] cosmodad: thanks [21:08] ok nvm lol [21:09] thank you cosmodad, I will try that.. [21:09] nope, that's not what I was looking for either, actually. [21:09] knoppix: dd_rescue is made for copying data off damaged disks. [21:09] * hunteke looks back to natlinuxnewb [21:09] :-) [21:09] knoppix: oh you said *kind*, sorry. [21:09] knoppix: wrong one. [21:09] hunteke: : oh you said *kind*, sorry. [21:09] hehe yep. [21:09] hunteke: as in technology? [21:09] hm... [21:09] sure, but also manufacture [21:10] kind of like what lspci gives [21:10] would like to know a Linux tool too.

Wondering if i should use the generic kernel, or is there a SMP kernel i should us [21:11] does isotostick.sh work from a Mac (OSX)? [21:11] sorry i dont know that easy other command [21:11] i would like to make my ubuntu comp accessible through My Network Places on Windows, how would I go about doing this?

[21:12] once you do sudo apt-get remove skype..... how do i tell ubuntu to get rid of all the files there are still there [21:12] sudo apt-get purge or something? [21:13] arooni: sudo apt-get remove --purge skype [21:13] arooni: sudo apt-get remove --purge skype [21:13] arooni: what do you mean "the files that are still there"? [21:13] haha [21:13] :-) [21:13] Haz, you may find this link helpful too http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-on-win-network.htm [21:13] 'rite, ty guys. i'll look into them all. :) [21:13] when installing skype beta: dpkg: error processing /tmp/skype-debian_2.0.0.43-1_i386.deb (--install): [21:13] trying to overwrite `/usr/share/icons/skype.png', which is also in package skype-common [21:13] even after running the purge === PriceChild is now known as Pricey [21:15] My sound is much quieter on ubuntu than windows. There are no hardware changes (i.e. nothing is unplugged) and afaik theres no software changes. Any reason for this difference in sound? [21:15] natlinuxnewb: check the volume? ;p [21:15] how can I backup my gnome session before damaging it? [21:15] how can i find memory usage for a specific process? i have the pid [21:16] jhonovich: use top? [21:16] I have a problem: my External HDD got disconnected accidentally. Now Ubuntu doesnt connect it anymore .What to do > [21:16] ? [21:16] xerxes1358: check dmesg [21:16] question [21:16] xerxes1358: open a console and run "tail -f /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages", then connect your disk and see what happens [21:17] xerxes1358: is your disk ntfs? [21:17] Le-Chuck_ITA: i have used top and it does not seem to show all processes plus it only shows percentages [21:17] Le-Chuck_ITA, yes [21:17] is there a command that reports on a specific process? [21:17] jhonovich: I don't know but take a look at the ps manpage [21:18] fail lol read my thing again. Ill give an example. 1) In Itunes the sound is at halfway. My Home theatre system is at 20/30 = quite loud music. 2) In gxine/Movieplayer/VLC the sound is at max, and I have to turn my theatre system up to max to hear just below talking level. [21:18] xerxes1358: I think you'll have to make a disk check from windows [21:18] I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy and for some reason my logout dialogue nolonger appears. I press the red quit button, then lose all control, I can't click or alt+tab etc. This is reproducable with and without compiz. [21:18] Le-Chuck_ITA, good I formatted windows away ;) [21:18] natlinuxnewb: maybe you have some boost control on your card [21:19] try messing up with the mixer configuration until you can see all of the card controls [21:19] realtek 5.1 onboard sound [21:19] then try all of them randomly :) [21:19] arooni: if you don't like mucking around with the commandline apt-* packages, you could also think about using synaptic [21:19] I've turned all those i can find up as well [21:19] xerxes1358: I understand the point of using ntfs if you carry your drive around but it will not work [21:19] I am try ekiga and It does not seem to pick up my mic. here my sound card Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03). It seem to see something . [21:19] at least for now I think [21:20] Hello. I have netbooted a client via PXE, started the installation of Ubuntu. But when I have to choose ARCHIVE the installer can't find the source. I think this is because i don't have declared the DNS server. But: If I type in archive information manualy with 130.239.18.137 instead of DNS it wont work. what directory should I continue with? /ubuntu/dists/gutsy/ or what? [21:20] Le-Chuck_ITA, ? [21:20] xerxes1358: try to fsck with linux tools and then use ext3 plus a small "FAT" partition (no pun intended) where you put some win tool to access ext3 [21:20] This is what I mean by no known software changes. I dont have an further ideas on why the sound is different in ubuntu than in windows. Is there a sound booster in windows that ubuntu doesnt use or something? [21:20] how do you get all apps to minimize in ubuntu? (windows + d on pc) [21:21] Le-Chuck_ITA, point is I had no space left to move around data on External hd. [21:21] natlinuxnewb: do you have other devices in file/devices? [21:21] cicero_b, there should be an icon in the bottom left hand corner that allows you to minimize all open widnows [21:21] yup, got it -- there is also a key-combo that i have forgotten [21:21] (thanks though) [21:22] Le-Chuck_ITA: I dont have a file/devices. Do you mean /dev? [21:22] xerxes1358: maybe there are settings for ntfs that can make things more stable. I don't know though :) [21:22] simple q: can anyone give me the drive eject command in terminal [21:22] for cd-rom [21:22] eject [21:22] soulburner: unfold a paper clip :) [21:22] isnt it eject /mouth/dvd1 or somethin like that? [21:22] cicero_b, CTRL+ALT+D [21:22] natlinuxnewb, noooooooo [21:23] mouth lmao [21:23] nobody knows how to backup gnome session=? [21:23] mount i mean [21:23] cicero_b, by default, it can be changed to whatever you want in keyboard shortcuts [21:23] Le-Chuck_ITA: disk image? [21:23] soulburner: $ mount [21:23] sweet! [21:23] (thanks) [21:23] shows what is currently mounted [21:23] Le-Chuck_ITA, What do you mean the settings of you rmenu etc? [21:23] Le-Chuck_ITA, compress the directories ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* [21:23] then you can see what to eject [21:23] greeting [21:24] Le-Chuck_ITA: (09:59:09) danbhfive: !clone | sdsheeks you may find this info useful [21:24] xerxes1358: I mean the programs that I can see with all the strange icons in "current session" in the session preferences [21:24] anyone had any luck running the novell login client on ubuntu, cant get it working [21:24] Le-Chuck_ITA, then send elsewhere [21:24] >>> Le-Chuck_ITA, compress the directories ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* <<< [21:24] Is there a better media player than the Totem Movie player? [21:24] Le-Chuck_ITA, I think GDM mananger had an option to safe your session. mAybe that is what you need. [21:25] xerxes1358, its not what he needs [21:25] Devourer: mplayer, vlc. [21:25] xerxes1358, so you're wrong [21:25] Le-Chuck_ITA, compress the directories ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* [21:25] Le-Chuck_ITA: (10:01:30) erUSUL: !info partimage | sdsheeks [21:25] natlinuxnewb: i found "clonezilla" [21:25] natlinuxnewb, imaging is OVERKILL [21:25] hiyas i want to invite to all people living in tijuana mexico visit http://ubuntutj.mx.gs [21:25] EADG, Thanks.

[21:26] kbrooks: and I have gnome-wm in the session (I can see it now) [21:26] sdsheeks, hilightin wrong person [21:26] cicero_b: perhaps showing last time your window had focus?

[21:34] I can't understand that, though [21:34] lol ok [21:34] Le-Chuck_ITA, it is not necessary, listen. just compress the .gnome .gnome2 andd .gconf directories - the session is there _only if you saved it_ [21:34] !hardy | Le-Chuck_ITA [21:34] Le-Chuck_ITA: 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 [21:34] Le-Chuck_ITA, you don't need to save it [21:35] can someone help me with my issues in regards to k9copy not processing the movie at all?

[21:43] kbrooks: this might help some http://damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-26-18667-0.html [21:44] c) why doesn't kbrooks provide any info about his resolution problem [21:44] Waffle: knuth is the man [21:44] cosmodad, how? i tried by using crypttab and saying "/dev/mapper/swap none swap sw 0 0" [21:44] cosmodad, in /etc/fstab [21:44] Waffle: "Dive into Python" is a good and freely downloadable book about starting to program in python [21:44] kbrooks: you need another entry in /etc/crypttab [21:44] i have Xubuntu and computer is still slow. [21:45] cosmodad, is this the proper way to setup encrypted swap? [21:45] cosmodad, i did [21:45] cosmodad, "swap /dev/hda2 /dev/urandom swap" [21:45] kbrooks: yeah should work. [21:45] cosmodad, how do i test? [21:45] kbrooks: what makes you think it's not working? [21:46] cosmodad, it boots pretty fast [21:46] kbrooks: that's fine with moderately new machines.

This is the first time I've used ubuntu and that's the only thing I can't get working properly [21:51] kaneda, e.g. /dev/sdd [21:51] pineapple, ati or nvidia? [21:51] nvidia [21:51] kbrooks, what conflict would that cause [21:51] is there any way to find out if your machine has a TPM chip?

I see a package in the repo called devhelp-book-sdl, but it says it's only referred to by another package, any ideas?

[22:58] darwich: graphics cards are notoriously bad at saving power. As soon as you enter 3D mode (by loading the driver), it powers the GPU for 3D mode, even if you only use 2D. There is no load-dependent voltage or frequency stepping for the GPU like there is for CPUs. [22:59] I have a fresh install of ubuntu.

I had a spare xen kernel lying around so i have booted the new install. is their a base install script to tidy up my installation as not everything is done/set like hostname network/interfaces etc etc etc.. i.e. where is base-install ?

[23:01] lol [23:01] Never heard of that concept [23:01] me either so cant help there :( [23:01] :( usb speakers have thier own soundcard within the usb.. basically your problem is that you have two sound cards and multiple sound card daemons.

[23:02] Do i need to have any antivirus protection on ubuntu if i have windows xp installed on Virtual box? [23:03] jonnymac: e.g., your usb audio device is not the default audio device (index 0) [23:03] jonnymac, which devices does the sound admin list? [23:03] I want to install object dock but I don't know how. I very new to Linux. I have ubuntu 7.10 64bit [23:03] epax: no, but you can consider one inside your xp vm [23:03] epax, no [23:03] epax: not unless your VirtualBox can access the Ubuntu filesystem [23:03] USB speakers [23:03] I changed the device in the top toolbar [23:03] Rather, I just finished installing ubuntu but when I tried to load up, I get this error "error recieving uevent message: no buffer space available" when it gets to "loading hardware drivers" [23:04] LjL: It can't use ubutntu file system and i have installed one antivirus in XP [23:04] jonnymac, i think you need to config alsa to ignore your pci (?) sound card [23:04] jonnymac: neither vlc nor Firefox use GStreamer and thus will not be affected by GNOME's gconf settings [23:04] epax: then there is no reason to install anything. [23:04] jonnymac: in that case, you likely want to use the "asoundconf" utility. [23:04] epax: still you have AVG ;) [23:04] Is there anyway for me to switch back to my standard OS? [23:04] Capital86: it's normally best to install software from ubuntu packages, especially if you're a beginner. Object Dock doesn't come packaged for ubunt at the moment. You could just familiarize yourself with the system as it is, and get to the more advanced stuff (like installing unpackaged software) later [23:04] ok I'll prob. be able to find stuff on ALSA on the web [23:05] Drk_Guy: I have avg on win [23:05] how can i force apt to download multiple files simultaneously? [23:05] is thier a baseinstall script like they have in debian? [23:05] LjL: So i dont need anything in my ubuntu? [23:05] i can't wait for xfi's to work finally:/ [23:05] it would be much faster if it didnt download one at a time, especially when the source is slow for one file [23:05] jonnymac: it can be as simple as using "asoundconf list" and choosing the appropriate device to pass to "asoundconf set-default-card" [23:05] epax, Avg is available for win and lin [23:05] fdsajfdjk: list more than one on the command line [23:05] :) [23:05] jonnymac: then logging out of GNOME and back in [23:05] epax: ... no? [23:05] fdsajfdjk, it will download multiple files at once automatically [23:05] Is there a way for me to switch back to my preinstalled OS? [23:05] nickrud i just did that, it still did one at a time [23:05] LjL: Ok [23:05] I'm not that big of a noob. I just need to know how. [23:06] Drk_Guy: thnx [23:06] fdsajfdjk: you mean simultaneous downloads then [23:06] it always downloads one at time, thus keeping my connection unmaxed [23:06] for nothing epax [23:06] thats what i said nickrud [23:06] >.> [23:06] Avg is the only antivirus for linux [23:06] <.< [23:06] MercyFallout: do you still have it installed? [23:06] althought it aint OS [23:06] Drk_Guy, no it isn't [23:06] MercyFallout: don't spam [23:06] No? [23:06] sudo swapon -a [23:06] swapon: /dev/mapper/klx-swap_1: Invalid argument [23:06] Drk_Guy: You mean ClamAV, I assume [23:06] what's up with this? [23:06] Drk_Guy, clamav as an example [23:06] LjL, I have just finished isntalling Ubuntu but it won't let me on Ubuntu. [23:06] fdsajfdjk: you sure did, I read into your question what I usually hear asked ;) [23:06] Drk_Guy: For information about avg that i can use in ubuntu as well... but i'll leave it as it is [23:06] I mean, real time [23:06] Gives me some kinda error when I try to boot it up. [23:06] MercyFallout: How do you mean? [23:06] Not only sacn [23:07] Anyway, gotta go, later guys [23:07] Capital86: have a look at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=469924 [23:07] alright will try that, that. Remember to help your local friendly Ubuntly challenged - it's a worthy cause thank you:) [23:07] so is there any way to modify apt so that it'll download at least five files simultaneously? [23:07] MercyFallout, if you have instructed the installer to keep your old OS, you should still be able to boot into it from the boot menu (if you don't see a boot menu, press Esc just before Ubuntu starts loading) [23:08] Thanks for the link. I have compiz fusion already. Does it come with that? [23:08] fdsajfdjk, why? [23:09] hi - how do i search within files for a particular string? [23:09] brb [23:09] kbrooks so that i can max my connection [23:09] fdsajfdjk, the download speed is limited by how much bandwidth there is between the mirror you're downloading from and yourself - not by how many connections you open with that mirror [23:09] fdsajfdjk: the apt config options are explained in /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz , I'm not seeing it there. But I just skimmed it [23:09] fdsajfdjk, not sure, but apt does do 2 at times [23:09] siloko: man grep [23:09] siloko: Depends what kind of files. Tracker is good for things in your home directory, but grep is more powerful === AHA_ is now known as AHA [23:10] fdsajfdjk, unsure how [23:10] ljl it would still be faster with simultaneous connections to the same mirror, but even if it didnt, i should be able to do it when there is more than one mirror [23:10] nickrud thanks ill check that out [23:10] LjL: with nautilus? === Darkmystere__ is now known as Darkmystere [23:11] fdsajfdjk, i really don't see how it would be faster with a single mirror - but yeah, with several it might. however you'd need APT to be smart enough to schedule downloads so that different mirrors are used at any given time [23:11] siloko: no idea [23:11] I've installed Ubuntu Server on a laptop that's too old for X. I want to use it for playing music. The sound works to the extent that the speakers amplify any microphone input, but when I try to play wave or mp3 sounds, it make strange noises instead of playing the sounds. What could be wrong? [23:11] <__Oz__> HALLOOOOOO Ubuntu friends! [23:12] ljl, it does increase speed even with the same mirror. usenet connections to the same server increase speed as connections are increased [23:12] hi, do somebody can run a hg view successfully? [23:12] <[dcr]> !grub [23:12] 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 [23:12] <__Oz__> hs1: hg view? What's that? [23:12] fdsajfdjk: only if the mirror caps connections. [23:12] why won't my swap work? swapon: /dev/mapper/klx-swap_1: Invalid argument [23:12] <__Oz__> floppies? People still use those? [23:13] __Oz__: hg (mercurial) is a distributed CVS, hg view run the gui. [23:13] the server doesn't cap, i can get much faster speeds late at night with one connection. during the day i need several to increase the speed to what i would normally get with one connection [23:13] <__Oz__> Whatever happened to that new standard they tried to introduce a few years ago - a 100mb floppy or somesuch? [23:13] <__Oz__> hs1: I see. I know nothing about it, but I'll try to help. What's your problem with it? [23:13] !ot > __Oz__ [23:13] <__Oz__> dih.j [23:13] <__Oz__> sigh. [23:14] z [23:14] fdsajfdjk: that's because the server is maxed out, so bandwidth is spread evenly between all users. making several connections, in those cases, amounts to stealing bandwidth from other users, and you're liable to be banned for that on certain servers. [23:14] lol ljl, not the case. all usenet servers cap the number of simultaneous connections [23:15] __Oz__: thanks, it return this error: http://rafb.net/p/8VIAPC52.html [23:15] fdsajfdjk: then, while i do not doubt what you say is true, i see no valid explanation as to why simultaneous connections make things go faster, and i doubt it's applicable to any server anyway [23:15] can i get help from somone getting desktop effects in 7.10 to work with an 8800GTS 512mb [23:16] how to reconfigure all the kde from command line. ?

[23:39] <__Oz__> yeah, try recovery mode, root________ [23:39] Odd-rationale: ya. ican pres ctl alt and f2 [23:40] root_____: By try again, I don't mean startx [23:40] root_____: Can you log in there? [23:40] mssever: i should do that now [23:40] Odd-rationale: yes [23:40] Odd-rationale: mssever ya. ican pres ctl alt and f2 and start a new concol. but not kde [23:40] Odd-rationale: mssever what now? [23:41] root_____: HAve you already renamed ~/.kde? [23:41] mssever: no [23:41] should it? [23:41] <__Oz__> It sounds like he's logging into a session that's badly messed up [23:41] Hey I'm wanting to give KDE4 a shot. I try to do a sudo apt-get install kde4 and I get this error: http://rafb.net/p/sytJrb50.html please advise? [23:41] mssever: wait. let me [23:41] <__Oz__> try the default gnome desktop, root________________ [23:41] root_____: That's the first thing to try [23:41] root_____: You can try mssever suggestion. do: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.bak [23:41] Odd-rationale ok brb. mssever brb [23:42] Installing Ubuntu on a 200GB Sata disc. Can't do more than 4 partitions? [23:42] N86eAL: You have to create an extended partition, then put the additional partitions there [23:43] N86eAL: Note you can only have one extended/logical partition [23:43] mssever: Odd-rationale i typed the command. no output [23:44] root_____: OK. Now, try logging in again. [23:44] root_____: Did you return to a prompt? [23:44] mssever: Odd-rationale mv ~/.kde ~/kde-confi-backup right? [23:44] mssever: Odd-rationale then i styped startx . but no use [23:44] hey can anyone help me my computer seems to be stuck in a loop where the processor usage is full and nothing can be launched. [23:44] root_____: That works. [23:45] root_____: You don't want to use startx [23:45] On windows I often use telnet to connect to a port just to see if there is indeed a server listening there. How can I do this on linux? [23:45] wavy__: can you can open a terminal and type "top" [23:45] root_____: Try reboot and log in normally [23:45] root_____: Use the normal login method (GDM/KDM) [23:45] mssever: Odd-rationale ok [23:45] brb [23:45] Sandra24: type telnet host port [23:45] Sandra24: You could do the exact same thing [23:45] Martil, i cant even open a terminal [23:45] mssever, natlinuxnewb, __Oz__: thanks guys, still trying... [23:45] doesn't exist, but I can install it then? [23:45] BTW, how is he able to chat but not log in? :? [23:46] Hello There. Been looking at the hardy blueprints. Is the new theme still going ahead, i thought it read somewhere that it was postponed till 8.10. Or are the blueprints a little behind? thanks [23:46] Sandra24: telnet, yes [23:46] Sandra24: Well, sudo aptitude install telnet, I guess [23:46] wavy__: and this problem persists after rebooting? [23:46] thanks [23:46] no telnet? strange [23:46] Sandra24: I use it all the time when doing web troubleshooting [23:46] bbs [23:46] !hardy > dan__ [23:47] Martil, yes, but it only appears sometimes and wont appear other times [23:48] Martil, and i noticed that in the console i can run normal commands but not the ones that require me to be root === hdevalence is now known as hdevalence^afk [23:48] I have a slider in alsamixer called Hardware Master, and it's frozen at 97. Could that have something to do with my sound playing problem? (Only hearing noise when playing a file, although it appears to work...) [23:48] wavy__: You mean that sudo is broken? [23:49] mssever, yeah it would just freeze when i try anything with sudo [23:49] wavy__: Odd. [23:49] <__Oz__> feh === freudinator is now known as freudinator[asle [23:49] wavy__: HAve you tried adding a root password and doing things the old fashioned way? === freudinator[asle is now known as freudinator[bed] [23:50] anyone any suggestions as to how to get a 8800GTS to work with desktop effects in 7.10? [23:50] mssever, no, how would i go about doing that? [23:50] mssever: Do you need sudo to set a root passwd? [23:50] weeman13221: Installing the restricted nvidia drivers doesn't work? [23:50] mssever: Odd-rationale cant login .. and when i typed locate kde-config-backup there was no result [23:50] wavy__: Since you can't sudo, you'll probably have to boot into recovery mode. Then do passwd root [23:50] wavy__: no error message? just freezes? sudo echo hello [23:51] Odd-rationale: if you really need to set a root password (there's no real need to in Ubuntu, as you already have sudo access)... then do passwd root [23:51] warriorforgod: when i go into the restricted drivers manager it says i dont need a restricted driver [23:51] dammit - mssever beat me to it [23:51] Hi all, by the wayt [23:51] hi, willwork4foo [23:51] prince_jammys, it would just go to the next line and freeze, no messages [23:51] root_____: What error did you get? [23:51] <__Oz__> what does "gksudo" mean vs. "sudo"? [23:51] warriorforgod: im using a freshly installed and freshly updated 7.10 [23:51] __Oz__: invokes sudo in GUI context [23:51] mssever: Odd-rationale should i make a system update by apt ? will that solf [23:51] mssever: no error [23:51] mssever, ive tried that but it didn't make any difference [23:51] __Oz__: gksudo is for GUIs, sudo is for CLI [23:52] <__Oz__> hmm [23:52] willwork4foo: Yes, I know root passwd is not necesary in ubuntu. I just thought you needed sudo which he was having trouble with... [23:52] root_ have you run sudo updatedb [23:52] <__Oz__> so you can run gedit from the gui by creating a launcher with the command "gksudo gedit" [23:52] <__Oz__> ? [23:52] __Oz__: sudo apt-get blahblah, gksudo gedit, gksudo totem etc [23:52] root_____: Look in ~/.xsession-errors and see if there's anything interesting in there. [23:53] __Oz__: or kdesudo on kde [23:53] ok, my startup is hanging at "running local boot script" and yes i reconfigured my x server but its still not working. [23:53] Odd-rationale: fairy nuff [23:53] k [23:53] weeman13221: Try the following. sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and sudo nvidia-glx-config enable [23:53] mssever: how to open that [23:53] alex___: Can you boot into recovery mode? [23:53] root_____: use nano [23:53] Odd-rationale: ok [23:53] root_____: from a terminal, type less ~/.xsession-errors [23:53] weeman13221: Also try installing Envy [23:54] weeman13221: If the first suggestion doesn't work. [23:54] <__Oz__> I don't totally get what why you'd need something different for GUI use. [23:54] !envy [23:54] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [23:54] __Oz__: because sudo prompts on stdout. If you're running a GUI, there is no stdout [23:54] warriorforgod: so if not the first one do sudo apt-get install envy? [23:54] <__Oz__> stdout? [23:54] __Oz__: If you're in CLI, you don't want some window popping up [23:54] prince_jammys: He stated that the restricted driver manager is not letting him install the nvidia drivers. [23:55] ubuntu should just support envy so people in here dont have to keep saying dont use it [23:55] mssever: Odd-rationale that file is empty [23:55] mssever: Odd-rationale no other user account is working too [23:55] <__Oz__> CLI? [23:55] warriorforgod probably because he doesnt have the propreitary repository enabled [23:55] Hey - does anyone here use kiba-dock? I've been messing around with it, and if it were actually possible to marry a software program I think I'd happily do so, and cuddle it all night :) There's only one niggling thing.... does anyone here know how to get it to do that progressive zoom of icons surrounding the one the mouse is on, as well as just that one? (kinda the way it does on OSX) [23:55] <__Oz__> what is stdout and CLI? [23:55] warriorforgod nice id, its good to see intelligent people following the lord [23:55] __Oz__: CLI == Command Line Interface [23:55] __Oz__, is that a joke? [23:56] fdsajfdjk: When did they make that change. I have never had to enable the restricted repository. [23:56] root_____: Well, it sounds lke your install (possibly X) is borked. Unless you know what you're doing, the best thing is to back up /home and reinstall [23:56] fdsajfdjk: it doesn't work that way. A distribution can't support software that contravenes its design. [23:56] __Oz__: VS, GUI == Graphical User Interface [23:56] I found the "Shared Folders" dialog that lets you export directories over the network. Is there another dialog that lets you mount directories from the network? Or, do we still have to edit fstab by hand for that? [23:56] mssever: how to reinstall? (i dont wana loose apps i installed) [23:56] __Oz__: stdout is where CLI programs print prompts and such [23:56] stdout = the standard output stream configured on a program - it could be either a printer, or the screen (normal), or it could be a network port, or a serial port, or anything really... everything's a file anyway [23:56] hm, to install proprietary nvidia drivers i always have to enable certain repositories, maybe thats just me [23:56] <__Oz__> willwork4foo: no joke. [23:57] mssever: what do you mean. reinstall kubuntu. or reinstall kde or reinstall x? [23:57] root_____: You'll have to make a list of what you installed (hopefully you only installed from the repos) and keep it [23:57] fdsajfdjk: yeah, that's just you. Normally, proprietary drivers are installed through System-Administration-Restricted Drivers Manager [23:57] how do i boot in recovery mode [23:57] warriorforgod: ok so it didnt work so how do i install envy? [23:57] what prog can i use that is both Win and Ubuntu compatible to export all thunderbird settings and mail from winxp to ubuntu? I used Mozbackup but found out there is no Linux version. [23:58] <__Oz__> thanks, mssever and odd-rationale [23:58] root_____: You should Google for help on reinstalling... It's too much to type here [23:58] weeman13221: Did it give an error or anything? [23:58] !reinstall | root_____ [23:58] root_____: To renew the configuration of a package when installing, sudo apt-get remove --purge && sudo apt-get install . Note that you will lose ALL config files for that package. WARNING: This is dangerous, don't do this with core packages [23:58] alex___: You should choose "recovery mode" from the GRUB menu [23:58] weeman13221: whatever you do, don't install envy please. If you do, don't expect help from this channel. [23:58] soundray: one moment [23:58] alex___: Press Esc when grub is loading to get to the grub menu [23:58] root_____: I mean reinstall Ubuntu [23:58] !envy [23:58] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [23:58] weeman13221: You will probably have to restart X to get the new drivers to work. Also have you tried installing the binary drivers from nvidias site? [23:58] soundray: need to restart x [23:58] yeah theres definitely no reason to install envy. [23:59] mssever: how about just reinstalling kde? [23:59] root_____: You could try, but I seriously doubt it will accomplish anything [23:59] warriorforgod: i tried nvidia's drivers on last install of 7.10 didnt work but one sec to restart x i just logout log back in correct? [23:59] root_____: It appears that KDE is just fine [23:59] msssever: im in recovery mode, what can be done here? [23:59] mssever: why so. it the problem is in kde. reinstalling it will solve? [23:59] what's the name of that irissi irc client? Im misspelling it I think [23:59] weeman13221: You can hit CTRL+ALT+BKSPCE to restart X
