[00:26] prince_jammys: ottawa to be exact [00:26] hi, how do i change the login sound (drums) [00:26] ejer: thanks for that mplayer fix earlier, it worked perfectly... someone arrived at that moment so didn't have a chance to say thanks [00:26] blastron: scroll up.. not sure you can do that.. you get that much text from that command? [00:26] gold44: everything is in the pool, the thing you were looking at is a pointer to particular packages in the pool [00:26] good morning ,everyone [00:26] anybody know any really good Linux games? [00:26] yeah [00:26] np VSpike [00:27] Hello, Can anyone direct me on how to change my ssh servers login message, i am using open ssh [00:27] ejer: but I'm concern with the visitors of my site.. they will be warned for sure.. right? [00:27] WhoaItsPhil: I didn't ask about the drivers, I was wondering if you had Xgl installed? [00:27] slart: Yeah... I'm going to write it to a file and look in there. [00:27] specifically, what are good linux multiplayer games [00:27] lubosz: i think in preferences->sound and there's a submenu in there [00:27] amarok says the sound device is busy. how do i find out what's using the sound device? [00:27] umm i'm not sure then? how do i check/ [00:27] haxit: cool [00:27] rhineheart_m: there is no free ssl cert that is installed on everyone's browser [00:27] blastron: ok, try this then.. "sudo iptables -F" that should reset the rules.. then try that first command again [00:27] danbhfive: nickrud , i want to be able to just download that package.deb and save it to flash drive and install it on a offline machine [00:27] sammyF: nm, this made the choice for me: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/all/graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat/filelist [00:27] that i know of rhineheart_m ;) [00:27] prince_jammys: kk, ttyl, ill see if anyone can help me with my prblem [00:27] prince_jammys: thats just for the sound after the login, i want the drum sound before you type anything [00:27] gold44: try here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz [00:27] CarlFK: cool :) would have thought the second [00:28] gold44: look into aptoncd and apt-zip , they help with that [00:28] WhoaItsPhil: go into synaptic and search for Xgl, if it's not installed, install it ;) [00:28] hi there, I know that some graphics cards ( mine is SIS 760) is not really compatible with linux, would the Intel GMA X3100 be easy to use? [00:28] ejer: okay.. so what's then the prupose of CACert if the browsers won't accept its digital certificate? [00:28] k [00:28] rhineheart_m: they will, you need to install it first, it is all on their wiki [00:28] slart: Now I get a bunch of lines of Chain whatever with no references [00:28] can anyone tell me how to install fonts on a xubunu machine? [00:28] what are good multiplayer games for linux? [00:28] rhineheart_m: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAcert [00:28] blastron: and some lines that say Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) ... or it says REJECT? [00:28] danbhfive: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/a/abiword/abiword_2.4.6-2ubuntu2_i386.deb package not found [00:29] WhoaItsPhil: a warning though, since I installed xgl none of my opengl games work... [00:29] why is evince using the sound device? [00:29] any german speakers here?:D [00:29] slart: it says DROP for input, forward, and output. [00:29] gold44: the gimp package by itself isn't enough, there's at least gimp-data you'll need as well, and gimp-gnomevfs is useful. [00:29] gold44: what? [00:29] reikalusikka: yes [00:29] can anyone assist me with setting a custom welcome message for my openssh server? [00:29] Does anyone know what codecs I need to play movies with VLC? [00:29] ejer: still there ? [00:29] lubosz: system->administration->login window and a submenu in there [00:29] gold44: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/abiword/ [00:29] Christina18: yep [00:29] blastron: that means that all traffic is dropped... we want to change that.. "sudo iptables --policy INPUT ACCEPT" [00:30] prettyricky: what formats? [00:30] hmmm well i installed it but still no change...do i need to restart? [00:30] blastron: "sudo iptables --policy FORWARD ACCEPT" [00:30] WhoaItsPhil: restart x [00:30] blastron: "sudo iptables --policy OUTPUT ACCEPT" [00:30] prettyricky, you need the same codecs as all other players, libdvdread3 [00:30] k [00:30] prince_jammys: thx [00:30] blastron: run all those three [00:30] I need help. where are the C header files to compile? [00:30] ubuntu gutsy [00:30] My laptop is a fairly high end model, but I don't think it really has 2 sound cards installed...so why does gnome volume control show both an HDA Nvidia and a Realtek ALC883? [00:30] slart: Done. [00:30] reiner: I think /usr/include/ [00:30] WorkingOnWise: one might be for alsa, one for oss [00:31] reiner: maybe you need to install build-essential? [00:31] blastron: that should be it.. it should be wide open now [00:31] ejer: ubuntu by default includes CACert already. Right? [00:31] rhineheart_m: no i was wrong - the blog has instructions how to install it [00:31] slart: Hm, I'm still unable to contact it on telnet, ssh, or http. [00:31] nickrud: i was reading http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz , so i just cut and paste url to obtain http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/a/abiword/abiword_2.4.6-2ubuntu2_i386.deb [00:32] [q] Trying to config a program, i get: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [00:32] help! [00:32] ok, do i just apt-get install libdvdread3 [00:32] nickrud: apt-zip is the solution then [00:32] solexious: sudo apt-get install build-essential [00:32] blastron: ok.. were you able to do that before you installed firestarter? [00:32] formats are mp4 [00:32] gold44: yes, it works really well with a thumbdrive [00:32] ty [00:32] hmm ok still no change...it says the same thing when i try to change the visual effects [00:32] can anyone please help me to connect my camera to my comp? F-spot sais "No camera detected" after I have connected and turned the cam on! [00:32] slart: Yes, this problem only occurred very recently. [00:32] Slart: the Nvidia is ALSA, and the Realtek is OSS, but if the sound subsystem were the only diff, wouldnt it be the same device, or at least same make? afaik, Nvidia and Realtex dont share any components... [00:33] hey Starnestommy [00:33] Christin18: i gave you a command to try [00:33] anyone know how to shut down xwindows (go into server mode) [00:33] blastron: hmm.. can you pastebin the output from "sudo iptables -L" [00:33] Is there a way that putty will only allow connection remotely with a verification file/script/whatever before it allow you to log-in? [00:33] !paste | blastron [00:33] blastron: 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) [00:33] again me: /usr/include is not correct [00:33] dmoerner: thanks a lot. It seems like it worked :) [00:33] nickrud: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/abiword/ is for all versions of ubuntu? 7.08, 7.10? [00:33] I need to know where are the correct C header files for the running kernel [00:34] sammyF, excellent [00:34] rhineheart_m: that is done on server side [00:34] ejer: think I missed it, had some net issues, can you repeat it ? [00:34] cicero_b_: ctrl+alt+f1, log in .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [00:34] rhineheart_m: you disable password logins [00:34] slart: One moment, I'll see what I can do about that. [00:34] Slart: thanks -- i'll try it [00:34] gold44: yup. That's why you want to use apt tools, it figures out all at stuff for you [00:34] ok, Christina18 in the terminal window try typing 'sudo gpasswd -a yourusername plugdev' with no quotes and replace yourusername with well... your user name :) [00:34] dmoerner: of course, I'll only know for sure next time I reboot ... and I'm postponing that ;) [00:34] ejer: how would it be accomplished? [00:34] gold44, that sort of thing you can only connect to it with apt-get [00:35] ejer :) [00:35] cicero_b_: if you reboot, x will still start.. but until then, it's shut down [00:35] i've done everything in th eofficial ubuntu guide and made sure that Xgl is installed but still cannot get Compiz to work...when i try to change the visual effects from none to normal or extra is says "The Composite extension is not available" [00:35] ejer: oh, I didn't miss that. I have typed that command [00:35] nickrud: icesword thx [00:35] Christin18: unplug cam, reboot, login, then replug cam [00:35] WhoaItsPhil: try typing compiz in a terminal, you'll get better error messages maybe [00:36] rhineheart_m: you comment out the usepasswordauth in sshd_config [00:36] can someone help? need to know where the C header files are [00:36] ejer: ok, brb [00:36] during installation I have been aske [00:36] d [00:36] or set it to no actually i think [00:36] reiner: c header files for what? I've got some here for my tetris game.. you want those? =) [00:36] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56804/ [00:36] is there a codec pack? I have been using bittorrent movies and they dont play with VLC? [00:36] rhineheart_m: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/530 [00:36] ejer: after which how would I access the server then with putty? [00:36] kernel source C header files [00:36] reiner: did you install build-essential , that gets you the basic c headers [00:36] reiner: hmm.. hang on.. you've got them installed? [00:36] dmoerner: scrap that. just installed something randomly from synaptic and had no errors, so it really worked [00:36] reiner: in that case, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [00:37] prettyricky, you mean you can watch it while download ,not sure [00:37] * sammyF does the "happy ubuntu user dance" [00:37] nickrud, it's quite long, can i copy/paste it to you in a pm? [00:37] haha sammy, glad your happy :) [00:37] Slart: this is odd -- when i it ^+alt+f1, it seems i lost the keyboard [00:37] slart: did not install build-esseential [00:37] WhoaItsPhil: better is putting it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org , if I don't recognize the error someone else might [00:37] No watch it after it has downloaded. [00:37] I'm trying to delete deluge using the command [sudo apt-get remove deluge] even though I can start the program with the name "deluge" it keeps telling me the package is not found when I go to delete it. I tried "Deluge" as well. Any suggestions? [00:37] cicero_b_, what ?lost what? [00:37] is there anyway i can check which boot parameters that I used for the current session? [00:38] two_bits: I think cat /proc/cmdline [00:38] my keyboard types gibberish [00:38] or nothing at all [00:38] two_bits: do you mean the grub params? [00:38] yeah [00:38] two_bits: /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:38] thanks, that did it [00:38] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56805/ [00:38] reiner: mine are in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14 [00:39] i notice it still says Xgl is not present...i coulda swore i just installed it [00:39] Hi.How do i disable online repositories from command line and install packages only from cd? [00:39] cicero_b_: huh? you've got some fancy wireless keyboard? [00:39] no -- old school dell (like 10 years old) [00:39] WhoaItsPhil: what video card are you using?

[00:39] i have another question: i've heard using irqfixup can cause serious performance problems... is this true? [00:39] blastron: hmm.. that looks ok.. wonder what else could be wrong [00:40] cicero_b_: try manually setting your keyboard layout [00:40] WhoaItsPhil: did you install the restricted ati driver, system->admin->restricted manager ? [00:40] is there a codec pack? I have been using downloading bittorrent movies and they dont play with VLC? [00:40] yes [00:40] can someone tell me why ubuntu's xchat packages don't have channel and private messaging enabled? [00:40] cicero_b_: shouldn't be a problem then... nothing works? caps-lock light? [00:40] my channel/private message tabs don't change color to red when I get messages === reconnect is now known as recon [00:40] slart: If it helps clarify the problem, also very recently I've been getting system crashes every two or three days. [00:40] WhoaItsPhil: then what I'd do is uninstall xserver-xgl , log out and back in, and then run fglrxinfo , make sure I was using the ati 8.37.6 driver (the one that comes with ubuntu) [00:41] mIKEjONES: private messaging disabled? are you really really sure? [00:41] ejer: Hi, now I have rebooted the com and replugged the camera. But seems nothing has happened [00:41] how can I disable Compositing from X in 7.10 ?

[00:41] i would do it in hard drive mode, that should always work [00:42] mIKEjONES: might be some setting... I don't use xchat myself.. still using xchat-gnome [00:42] what is the kernel line for grub for booting ubuntu on sda3? [00:42] prince_jammys----> thank you!

[01:13] I'm using Anjuntu, I wrote a program in C++ by following directions from "C++ For Dummies," I don't know how to execute it and run it now, there's no option and I've been searching for a while. Could it be a plugin? [01:13] lol! [01:13] how do i force 10mb full duplex on wired network? [01:13] two_bits: hmm, it may just be audacity. i can't playback sound from audacity [01:13] thechris: what problem are you having? [01:13] OpenOffice.org channel is dead and non responsive .. Anyone here well versed in Oo spreadsheet and "Goal Seek"? [01:13] any other sound recorders? [01:13] doesnt everyone use amarok for music?

[01:14] ahorriblemess: arvauspeli.cpp -Wall -g -o arvauspeli [01:14] do you get a startup tone when ubujntus tarts? [01:14] what kde? [01:14] i'm a kperson [01:14] lol [01:14] and then ./yourprogram [01:14] reikalusikka: what is that? Should I replace "arvauspeli.cpp" with my program name? [01:14] i think KDE ksucks [01:15] ohhh [01:15] its what i use on my komputer [01:15] ahorriblemess: yeah, that's my own program :D [01:15] reikalusikka: awesome thanks, what does that do exactly if you don't my me asking? [01:15] it compiles it [01:15] IndyGunFreak: i have sound, just not in audacity [01:15] then just ./yourprogram [01:15] thechris: what are you trying to play in audacity?.. mp3, or what [01:15] but i'm trying to test out a microphone, so i need something that can record [01:15] reikalusikka: so I copy exactly what you wrote, then do ./myprogram ? [01:15] So how do I get Xorg to actually use the changes I made in its configuration file after saving as root and rebooting? [01:16] IndyGunFreak: "sine wave", generated from audacity, and really, i want to record [01:16] yeah and replace arvauspeli.cpp with yourprogram.cpp and arvauspeli with yourprogram [01:16] I mean, I want to turn off the tap on click of my tuochpad... [01:16] thechris: now i'm not sure on mic.... some chipsets have very spotty record support [01:16] reikalusikka: got it, thanks! [01:16] touchpad* [01:16] be sure to be in the folder of your .cpp [01:16] where is the file to configure your network devices duplexing transfer speed etc? [01:16] I use qsynaptics and stuff and it says an option I set doesn't exist.. even though it does [01:18] sorry im a n00b whats kde? [01:18] tdawgedogg: another desktop manager, like gnome [01:18] !kde | tdawgedogg [01:18] tdawgedogg: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [01:19] so if im using gutsy im using kde which sucks? [01:19] i think different DE's are a tough thing to grasp at first for the noobs. they usually can't believe that you can switch and use an entirely different interface [01:19] tdawgedogg: no. you are probably using gnome. and whether kde sucks or not is a matter of opinion [01:19] how to remove user in ubuntu gutsy? [01:19] tdawgedogg: gutsy comes in gnome and ide flavors. ubuntu and kubuntu, respectively [01:19] If I chande to KDE, will some programs stop to function? [01:19] jeffmasterflex: I understand the concept but this is my first dayt with linux lol [01:20] aeww [01:20] reikalusikka: no [01:20] tdawgedogg, KDE, Gnome, XFCE Windows manangers are a preference....find which one works for you. [01:20] tdawgedogg: reikalusikka: you dont even have to change. you can have both [01:20] I really have to commend the ubuntu folks. [01:20] so I heard KDE is more powerfull and just simply better than gnome, are there any things I should be aware of before changing? [01:20] prince_jammys: oh ok [01:20] how can I choose between them? [01:20] I've been using Linux in some for since 96 and I can say it has come a very long way. [01:20] how do i switch between different desktop environments [01:21] reikalusikka: you choose your session when you log in [01:21] I have now fully replaced my OS with Ubuntu and couldn't be happier. [01:21] ok [01:21] reikalusikka: I just did that, it said "bash: conversation.cpp: command not found" [01:21] holy nick-list batman! === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [01:21] reikalusikka: conversation.cpp is the program [01:21] ahorriblemess: I think you have to download some library [01:21] Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer. [01:21] ^^ wtf does this mean? it's ambiguous [01:21] when i log in....so if i click the logg off i will have options for different environements or do i have to download htem [01:21] them [01:21] reikalusikka: man... ok haha. [01:21] does the desktop cd that I need to check for not include the live cd? [01:22] ahorriblemess: let me check :D [01:22] or does the default download not include the livecd? [01:22] pfn: the desktop cd is the livecd [01:22] reikalusikka: tdawgedogg: if you get both, your menus will have many applications, and you'll probably want to edit them. then you'll have a separate menu for gnome and one for kde. other than that, everything should work normally [01:22] the "alternate" cd is a traditional installer [01:22] that message needs to be clearer, thanks [01:22] eh? [01:22] pfn: the regular install disk is the livecd. the alternate disc has a text based installer only. [01:22] so it's the "desktop cd" and the "alternate desktop cd" the "alternate desktop cd" does not have the live cd? [01:23] ok, thanks [01:23] you know how in OSX how when ur in a program all the file edit view and shit goes to the top bar [01:23] pfn: correct [01:23] I just need a VM I can shell into to test a few things [01:23] is there any way i can get that with ubuntu [01:23] * pfn needs a livecd [01:23] pfn: for install? [01:23] pfn: then download the regular desktop disc [01:23] ahorriblemess: type 'sudo apt-get install g++' [01:23] jeffMASTERflex, yeah, doing that... the checkbox was a little ambiguous, making sure I got the right thing [01:23] tdawgedogg, I really don't think so [01:23] it should install the right libraries [01:23] thanks [01:24] also the top and bottom bars just look kinda plain... [01:24] sdsheeks, no, for booting a VM and testing some pam stuff [01:24] reikalusikka: ok, thanks a lot for finding that out. I was looking on the anjuta site and I read something about g++ but there was a list... I got a little confused I guess. Thank you though [01:24] besides compiz fusion what graphical tools can u use to snaz up ubuntu [01:24] pfn: just download the regular desktop install iso then. It is bootable and goes into the gui. [01:24] can I install something similar to the leopard dock [01:24] sdsheeks, yeah, already doing that, just wanted to make sure I was getting the right disk, the message, as I've stated, is ambiguous [01:24] ahorriblemess: or you can go to synaptic packet manager and install from there [01:24] tdawgedogg: if you want to customize check out www.gnome-look.org [01:24] reikalusikka: I already have it [01:25] woot thanks [01:25] ahorriblemess: well then go to synaptic package manager [01:25] pfn: Understand. Yes I would think you have the right CD. In the GUI it should have some installed apps such as firefox. [01:25] can I use wine to simulate ie for those stinking webforms that wont work in firefox ? [01:25] ahorriblemess: and search for 'g++' [01:25] tdawgedogg: also, appearance settings you can find in System/Preferences/Appearance [01:25] Anyone know a good battery power monitor package? [01:25] sdsheeks, thanks, all I really need is an xterm :) [01:25] reikalusikka: wait, is the command simply "$program.cpp -Wall -g -o program name" ? [01:25] pfn: grab the server edition then [01:26] ahorriblemess: yeah [01:26] * pfn downloads it as well, just in case [01:26] pfn: lighter weight and keeps you in the terminal [01:26] pfn: or you could download an already created vmware image [01:26] reikalusikka: ok i wanted to make sure I had it right. I'm going to be afk for a bit, thanks for the help so far I appreciate it [01:26] if nothing seems to happen it compiled it [01:26] :D [01:26] np [01:26] sdsheeks, I'm sure a livecd will be smaller than an existing vm image [01:26] anyone know how i can install a leopard dock [01:26] thanks for the help [01:26] sorry i have crazy questions 2nite [01:26] !vant [01:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about vant - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:27] pfn: server edition of a vmware image is 188mb [01:27] sdsheeks, link? :) [01:27] tdawgedogg, just google it you'll find it [01:27] pfn: hold [01:27] hwilde: yep [01:27] i saw it but the instructions were hard [01:27] tdawgedogg: avant window navigator [01:27] tdawgedogg: what do you mean? you can install in synaptic [01:27] i want a dock that can be downloaded in the package download manager so i dont have to compile it or something [01:27] !synaptic | tdawgedogg [01:27] tdawgedogg: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager.

I've tried everything google has to offer [01:34] I can't get 1680x1050 no matter what i try [01:35] * sdsheeks hides [01:35] it keeps stretching past the edges of the screen [01:35] Does anyone know of a good approach to cleaning up tags for a music libary, organizing the folders, and converting to ogg?

I have my system setup perfectly and no open issues...oh what to do!!! [01:35] hey, on a fujitsu p7230, i'm having some problems with hibernation - when i tell it to hibernate, the screen goes black, then to a blinking cursor, then off, then on, then to the locked screen. is there some way i should be fixing this? [01:35] break something [01:35] jmdc: unfortunately i think it may be hardware specific [01:35] prince_jammys: i suppose I could test my backup solution :) [01:36] credible: what do you mena by blacklisted? [01:36] and possibly a bug in the xserver-xorg package that ubuntu uses [01:36] mbrush: that's a somewhat exotic resolution; you're certain your display supports it? [01:36] sdsheeks: or get automatix :) [01:36] it's the recommended one [01:36] reikalusikka: is the video card integrated? [01:36] 22" lcd [01:36] i need help setting up my HP VGA Webcam. I've tried it with EKIGA, but EKIGA apparently doesnt recognize it. I've also checked google and the forums with no luck..anyone here know other places to look? [01:36] it's the norm for that size i believe [01:36] reikalusikka: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist [01:36] yes, Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 [01:36] thanks for the link [01:37] reikalusikka: the X3100 is the intel 965 (last one on the table) [01:37] jmdc: I am not sure if the vid card supports it, but it's the monitors native res [01:37] !webcam [01:37] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [01:37] reikalusikka: i was looking at one of those a few weeks ago before i picked up this new laptop, but i didn't want integrated graphics. [01:37] mbrush - okay. What video card are you using? [01:37] sdsheeks: ok, cuz I don't really need GPU [01:37] so this means what? [01:37] reikalusikka: i game every now and then [01:37] jmdc: ATI AIW 8500DV [01:38] sdsheeks: you can amuse yourself with espeak .. espeak hello [01:38] sdsheeks: so what does this mean that x3100 is blakclisted?

I can't run compiz fusion? what does it matter when I can ignore it? makes no sense :D [01:39] sdsheeks: don't know that one [01:40] everytime i want to go online, i need to go into network settings, delete my network password, and retype it in in order to connect. any way around this? [01:40] reikalusikka: dunno let me scroll up and see who b brought that up. [01:40] jmdc: pretty sure I've been through that one, but I'll give it another read [01:40] randompolygamy: you have to manually allow it because Xvideo won't work while in compiz [01:40] err [01:40] reikalusikka: ^^ [01:40] random polygamy, what a concept [01:40] credible: ? [01:40] How to uninstall gcj under ubuntu ? [01:41] what does it mean in practice if my video card i blacklisted? I can't run compiz fusion properly? any other things?

[01:42] reikalusikka: it was creddible [01:42] jmdc: it's so hacked apart at this point, it's not worth posting, also it's on another computer with nothing but X [01:42] sdsheeks: ok [01:42] my newbieness got me into trouble with some mounting issues.

I [01:43] can't run compiz fusion properly? any other things? [01:43] lol AntiUSA from tx.comcast.net [01:43] reikalusikka: dunno [01:43] ok [01:43] thanks [01:43] reikalusikka: it means that video will not work while in compiz [01:43] mbrush: I think it is worth posting, especially if it's hacked apart. That might be your problem ;-( [01:43] reikalusikka: sorry :) [01:43] 640x480 [01:43] reikalusikka: and you'll have to manually "unblacklist" compiz to make it run at all [01:44] credible: can you tell me, what is compiz :D [01:44] I thought I could designate my usbdisks to a mount point so they would always be labeled disk or disk-1 and went through the properties heading in the context menu but I now get a warning box when I use the gpanel applet to mount and it doesn't mount so I look under Details and it says: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) [01:44] jmdc: then I gotta install firefox or something to pastebin it [01:44] !compiz | reikalusikka [01:44] reikalusikka: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [01:44] thanks you [01:44] ok thats not as useful as i thought [01:44] so in other word ubuntu wont work properly with integrated GPU? [01:44] reikalusikka: its the thing that makes your windows wobble and your desktop spin around [01:45] reikalusikka: no it will work just not the "cool" eye candy stuff [01:45] prince_jammys: hehe thanks [01:45] reikalusikka: you can youtube and see what it looks like [01:45] anyone? will encrypting my drive slow down my machine? [01:45] prince_jammys: I know how it looks, that's why I want to use it :D I was just wondering if it affects other things too [01:45] what does it mean in practice to ignore the blacklist? [01:45] AntiUSA: yes ... how much? no idea [01:45] reikalusikka: no, just the visuals [01:45] pfn: hows the image? [01:46] prince_jammys: what does it mean in practice to ignore the blacklist? [01:46] sdsheeks, didn't get a chance to run it, I was running the livecd :) [01:46] AntiUSA: short answer yes but depends a lot on the hardware [01:46] i see [01:46] pfn: cool my latest use of that image was to setup an amanda backup server. [01:46] man, ubuntu sure is pretty... makes me want to setup a linux desktop machine :) [01:46] reikalusikka: this i don't know. i probably means you'll get a headache trying to get it to work [01:47] so 4096 encrfyption would probably make my lappie wine [01:47] :D [01:47] pfn: sure is [01:47] x3100 is still pretty "powerfull" for an integrated [01:47] why doesn't ubuntu use pam_stack/system-auth like redhat? [01:47] i could do without the brown [01:47] AntiUSA: I suggest using truecrypt to create a container and keep your pr0n in there [01:47] well, I'll go to #compiz-fusion [01:47] pfn: crossover completes it for me...I need those programs [01:47] :D [01:47] it'd be so much nicer than how ubuntu has it, imo [01:47] lol [01:47] thanks for answers [01:47] iter: lol [01:47] porn is the last of my worries [01:47] * pfn goes back to trying to figure out why cyrus-imapd isn't talking to saslauthd [01:47] your swiss account info [01:48] AntiUSA: with a nick like that I could have guessed as much [01:48] HAH! [01:48] iter: lol good point never picked up on that [01:48] AntiUSA: do you want to encrypt the whole drive? [01:48] with all that porn you keep in the safe [01:48] hey, anyone know how to access usb external drive from a livecd boot? [01:48] i was considering it [01:48] do you need to? [01:48] haha [01:48] mbrush - is installing firefox a problem? [01:48] AntiUSA: why encrypt all your system files? no need really and all it will do is be a PITA down the road [01:48] bkr plug it in and find it under /media or /mnt ? [01:49] well I was just concerned that if I just encrypt documents then won't there be traces of temp files/ [01:49] * pfn hates truecrypt 5 [01:49] AntiUSA: what kind of documents? [01:49] pfn: thanks... i didn't see it under mnt boot i'll check media [01:49] :) [01:49] jmdc: no not really, I was just not wanting to install the extra 30MB [01:49] ok, new issue [01:49] I'm not a terrorist if that's what you're getting at [01:49] prince_jammys: what about beryl, any idea?:D and how does it differ from compiz fusion [01:50] AntiUSA: nope just got me curious is all [01:50] hahaha [01:50] I'm with the Houston Revolution Club [01:50] The microphone will play over the speakers, but i can't get any recording software to see it [01:50] reikalusikka: compiz fusion replaced beryl [01:50] Houston, TX? [01:50] does ubuntu come installed by default with vpn software setup? [01:50] reikalusikka: beryl is history [01:50] so the mic works, but is invisible [01:50] mbush - if you want to be super minimalist, there is always lynx ;-) [01:50] prince_jammys:ok thanks [01:50] yep [01:50] I guess no one knows, I'll look in google [01:50] AntiUSA: I travel there every other week via continental express [01:50] is there a way to access the files share in the network (windows machines) from ubuntu server? [01:50] I really need help: My goal is to make it so my site is hosted locally. I have 10.0.0.7 to point to my server, now what? [01:50] AntiUSA: hang around the Galeria area [01:50] reikalusikka: beryl has merged with compiz to become compiz fusion [01:50] mbrush-> w3m is installed, try that [01:51] I have, haha [01:51] prince_jammys: and it is pretty cool [01:51] prince_jammys: oh ok :) thanks [01:51] reikalusikka: this was done mostly to confuse everyone [01:51] prince_jammys: lol [01:51] lol [01:51] Lifeisfunny - how did you set the mount point? [01:51] :D [01:51] hehe [01:51] hey, I'm trying to get my HP VGA webcam to work but am having trouble. I read about a package called 'easycam' and i'm trying to install that, but it's not working either (asking for a cd) i'd really like to get my webcam working again. [01:51] okay so nothing shows under media or mnt when I plug in the usb external drive... any suggestions on mounting it? [01:51] to give you a general idea of what the HRC is into, you can check out www.revcom.us [01:51] that's the website of the paper we distro [01:51] hw00djohn: this on a laptop? [01:51] Is there any program I can use to overclock my Radeon 9550? [01:52] I know what speeds it's capable of [01:52] yes, but the webcam is not internal. It's one that i have to plug in thru usb [01:52] anyway, is there a problem with temp files? [01:52] Hello! Is there a way to access the files share in the network (windows machines) from ubuntu server? [01:52] bkr on a terminal if you type mount, is it listed? [01:52] rhineheart_m: yea install samba [01:52] bkr: check if it shows up in /dev if it does you can mount it manually with mount [01:52] if I keep documents encrypted won't there be unencrypted temp files? [01:52] rhineheart_m: then mount //ipaddress/sharename /mointpoint [01:52] good evening [01:53] jmdc: xterm doesn't do copy? [01:53] AntiUSA: it's possible yes [01:53] sdsheeks yes, this is on a laptop, however the cam is not built in, i bought it seperately and it plugs in thru USB. I tried to set it up with ekiga, but ekiga didn't recognize it. i've been scouring the forums and google with no luck [01:53] does someone here knows how to make a DVD player play DVDs? [01:53] thats' why last night i was asking for wiping tools for linux but no one knew of any [01:53] hw00djohn: i'm looking around now. I have never tried mine. [01:53] Hi. I have a home partition and I only have one user (myself) on my system. My home directory is called emma. I wish to do a fresh install.

[01:53] rhineheart_m: did you apt-get install samba? [01:53] mbrush - try selecting text, then middle clicking [01:54] yes I do [01:54] hi can somebody tell me how i get ubuntu running under the vista bootloader ? i dont get it right :( [01:54] yeah.. [01:54] jmdc: ah [01:54] rhineheart_m: and a share exists on the windows machine? [01:54] jmdc:nope [01:54] prince_jammys: I do and it still does not work [01:54] sdsheeks: yeah [01:54] AntiUSA, Only if you open them in apps that use temp file in an area of the file system which is not encrypted [01:54] AntiUSA, You can even make an encrypted /tmp, though that may slow certain things down :) [01:54] mbrush - well, it works for me [01:54] rhineheart_m: then do sudo mount //ipaddress/sharename /mountpoint [01:54] emma: is home on a different partition? [01:54] fredsua: frustrating. what player do you use? and have you tried different DVDs? [01:55] Yes my home directory is on its own partition. [01:55] mount //ipaddress/sharename /mountpoint?? can't understat [01:55] Is there any program I can use to overclock my Radeon 9550? I know what speeds it's capable of [01:55] hi all, can i get some help diagnosing this ubuntu issue? i run dhclient on my ubuntu box, nbtstat -R (to clear WINS cache) on my windows box, and cannot ping my ubuntu box (by name) from windows [01:55] jmdc: it launches the now installed fifefox to this page: http://www.libhunspell-1.1-0/ [01:55] hahaha [01:55] middle click ads? [01:55] rhineheart_m: ok you know the IP address of the windows machine? [01:55] I had originally thought I could sign up again with the same user name and it would all just work but there seems to be some technicalities. Like the installer is going to move the old directory and call it emma.00001 or something. [01:55] openoffice does make temp files, right? [01:55] amenado: it finally came up under media, but I'm trying to transfer files from the hdd to the external so I can wipe the system...it won't boot currently [01:55] sdsheeks: yeah I know [01:55] Hi, I rebooted my computer and now there are no audio devices. Any help? [01:55] rhineheart_m: okay then go to a terminal window [01:56] don't know the best way to view the files with a filemanager [01:56] so I can see them easily instead of with an ls [01:56] recommend a good file manager? [01:56] AntiUSA - I would imagine they would be in your home directory [01:56] rhineheart_m: type sudo mount //ipaddress of the windows machine/sharename /mountpoint === kevin_ is now known as kevin_121 [01:56] prince_jammys: I have a Plextor PX-712A DVD-RW. I've tried playing backup movies and they play fine but when I try playing a movie from blockbuster or others that I have it can't read it. [01:56] ok [01:56] thanks all [01:56] brb [01:56] rhineheart_m: for example sudo mount //192.168.1.111/myshare /mnt/myshare [01:56] bkr command line is good , use it [01:56] sdsheeks: how about in the sharename and mount point? [01:56] does ubuntu come installed by default with vpn software setup? [01:57] rhineheart_m: for the sharename you would use whatever you set the sharename as in windows [01:57] so. in appearance preferences -> visual effects, the custom radio button will not stay selected... anyone know why this could be? [01:57] how do you prevent a new file browser opening up each time you insert a CD? I'm using Gutsy [01:57] emma: make a backup first,do a fresh install and assign home the partion and don't format it === ze__ is now known as Zeddie [01:57] can anyone here help me with grub? [01:57] amenado: only when tranferring all files or a few files... I'm trying to tranfer large numbers of files but not the whole drive [01:57] eshaase - no [01:57] rhineheart_m: for the mountpoint it is up to you where you mount it to, but the mountpoint has to exist already so create it if you need to [01:57] !anyone | Shuggle [01:57] Shuggle: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:57] jmdc: wierdest thing ever, I just middle clicked xterm and it started installing something automatically in the background downloading stuff from ubuntu [01:57] mbrush, Middle click is paste [01:57] prince_jammys: I'm speculating reinstalling Ubuntu [01:58] sdsheeks: Is samba secured? [01:58] fredsua: i don't know the solution, sorry. i actually just got a dvd drive on this computer and havent gotten around to dealing with that [01:58] jordan: I don't know what the hell happened ... there shouldn't have been anything in the clipboard [01:58] mbrush, And anything you paste into a terminal is interpreted ( including carridge returns ) [01:58] rhineheart_m: don't think so [01:58] fredsua: i really doubt you need to reinstall [01:58] mbrush - middle click pastes whatever was last selected. whatever was last selected was a install command with a newline [01:58] bkr use regexp and selected directories [01:58] josspyker, how about doing this: mv /home/emma /home/oldemma [01:58] sdsheeks: so you couldn't recommend it, right? [01:59] prince_jammys: Thanks for trying. [01:59] rhineheart_m: for what I use it for sure I would recommend it, but your use may be different than mine. [01:59] I installed Sabayon linux to my harddrive and told it not to install grub. Now when I try to test boot sabayon from the grub command line (before editing menu.list) grub tells me that the partition does not exist [01:59] mbrush, It's also 'copy' when you have text selected, have you middle clicked any text recently? [01:59] josspyker, then doing the reinstall, not formating the home partition, and then doing mv /home/oldemma /home/emma [01:59] hi all [01:59] rhineheart_m: what are your concerns with it being secure or nonsecure?

[02:00] fus10nx: i have not heard of anyone doing audio yet over hdmi. i think there may be legal setbacks involved, but im not entirely sure [02:00] rhineheart_m: not if you don't allow it through a router or windows firewall [02:00] emma: use grsync for a backup to be sure,install ubuntu and assing your home part.without formatting [02:01] rhineheart_m: but my theory is if someone wants it bad enough they will get it [02:01] what raid software dose ubuntu server use? [02:01] Indiadev_Techie: Yes, I've updated all the codes. the drive plays some of my backup movies fine, but dies not play movies from regular DVDs [02:01] sdsheeks: if that someone could have access to the router's firewall right/ [02:01] anyone have any idea why writing to my external just became extremely slow? why near everything is now going really slow? why startup just takes forever?

[02:04] lol look at the moon [02:04] sdsheeks: so they could access their folders from the networkplaces... and if they will click on it.. samba would ask for their usernames and passwords. correct? [02:04] Anyone know how to change the time from 24 hour time to 12?

[02:08] jordan_: yes, but he seems to have it [02:08] jmdc: I'm not sure what you mean, running top [02:08] fredsua: sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 [02:09] !grub [02:09] 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 [02:09] fredsua: make sure you have libdvdcss2; run this: `dpkg-query -s libdvdcss2` [02:09] is there a way I can tell apt-get to download packages only and not lock the thing? So I cna download the 2500000 packages I need but be able to iunstall a couple packages here or there while it's d/ling [02:09] What if you broke Grub after installing Ubuntu? [02:09] When I try to be polite how come a get a warning that I am off topic? [02:09] jackfusion: what about it? [02:09] prince_jammys: got it again [02:10] anyone know why there's no truecrypt ubuntu package? Is it not considered safe to use or something? [02:10] fredsua: ohhh....thts gr8... [02:10] jackfusion: if youre wondering why no X or why no GUI, it's because it's a server and there's no point wasting resources for a GUI on a server [02:10] !windows [02:10] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [02:10] fredsua: but still u cant play ur dvds... [02:10] jackfusion: (that question falls under the category of FAQ) [02:10] fredsua, It's most likely a software problem, try running "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh" [02:10] any has problems with checkinstall? === astro76_ is now known as astro76 [02:10] i had 2 NAS drives mounted and working fine....but after I installed KDE to just check it out....now my shares are gone...any one know why that would happen? (i am back in gnome now) [02:11] jackfusion: How is every one doing tonight? jordan_: !offtopic | jackfusion [02:11] fredsua: cd /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/ [02:11] still can't play, trying jordan solution now [02:11] jackfusion: because this channel isnt for chatter, it's for tech support [02:11] jackfusion: what's the problem with the server system? [02:11] fredsua, That may have actually been the wrong path, I am using 8.04 currently [02:11] and i can still browse the NAS shares from a web browser [02:11] jackfusion: chatter happens in #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntuforums usually [02:12] speaking of tech support...i'm still looking for some help [02:12] itisi: /etc/fstab? [02:12] Hey can someone help me get my 8800GTS drivers working [02:12] jmdc: I am looking at the system manager, and nothing seems out of the ordinary, but it should be said that I have less than a huge ability to recognize such things [02:12] fredsua: actually just:::: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [02:12] hw00djohn: ask your question [02:12] I don't have a problem with the server I just want to know what raid software the server uses? [02:13] mbrush: i will check it to see if anything changed, but they still show in my mount folder [02:13] jackfusion: oh hmm... you can setup LVM during install if you want [02:13] prince_jammys: did it [02:13] Has anyone isntalled a 8800GTS in ubuntu? [02:13] if i want to use a Win wifi driver with ndiswrapper for ubuntu AMD64 from what Win version should the driver be? Vista 64 or just plain XP ? [02:13] itisi: the directories may remain [02:13] I have an HP VGA webcam that I've been trying to get working since yesterday. I tried setting it up with EKIGA. I checked the forums and google with no luck. Is there a package that can install the drivers for my HP VGA webcam? [02:13] fredsua: any luck? [02:13] but not mounted [02:13] jackfusion: 6.06 had EVMS, but it's not compatible with the current kernels, so it's been removed [02:13] fredsua: probably not [02:14] anyone know where i can find a table of what the entries like "0x99" in "keyboard shortcuts" correspond to on the keyboard? [02:14] prince_jammys: nope, nothing [02:14] codyduncan: sorry, was afk. top is command line tool that does something like what the system monitor would do. Just stay in there and do View->All Processes and look for something using high percentages of the cpu. [02:14] I know about LVM but what creating raid zero what software is used? [02:14] how can i see the name of the deb (so the version) that will be installed when I apt-get install foo? [02:14] fredsua: the dvd shows up on your desktop and is mounted, right? [02:15] Q: I removed all of the packages related to 'mono' and it was about 400M freed.. the only things that looked remotely useful from that was some photo manager and some other program I can't recall, and there doesn't seem to be the slightest impact on my system. Is mono actually used for anything important at all? [02:15] CarlFK, apt-cache info foo [02:15] PriceChild: thanks [02:15] CarlFK: try apt-cache show foo. I think thats what yer looking for. [02:15] so being polite in this chat is not accepted? [02:16] prince_jammys: yes it shows on the dekstop and is mounted [02:16] fredsua, What is the output of "dpkg -s libdvdcss2 | grep Status" ( should be only one line ) [02:16] jmcd: there was nothing like that. I don't know what the problem is. I just installed (reinstalled) Gutsy yesterday, and already it is kicking me [02:16] EADG: yeah, thanks [02:16] fredsua, What is the output of "dpkg -s libdvdcss2 | grep Status" ( should be only one line ) ++ [02:16] mbrush: they are still mounted in fstab...also, even before i mounted them they showed in my network, now they dont even show up there as folders [02:16] PriceChild: apt-cache info transcode = E: Invalid operation info [02:16] CarlFK, gah, show then [02:16] zcat: i believe mono is basically a .NET framework port for linux [02:16] jackfusion, Being polite in this channel means helping to keep it uncluttered [02:17] jordan_: I'm not sure how to get that. Do I copy and paste that command in the termina? [02:17] jackfusion: with how quickly this channel moves and how full it is, idle chatter just gets in the way. the signal to noise ratio is bad enough with the joins & parts. [02:17] Hi ubuntu people, i've just installed ubuntu to give it a try. Could anyone tell me why at boot before getting into login screen, there's nothing but a monitor warning "scanlines out of range" ? And when shutting down, this shows up too. Where should i take a look / configure ? [02:17] fredsua, Yes [02:17] CarlFK, apt-cache show transcode, or apt-cache madison transcode [02:17] codyduncan - hmm. Has the system been slow ever since you installed? [02:17] hi,I remove my old dvd rom and installed a new Blu-ray dvd rom. The system could not find the new device.What should i do? [02:17] oh sorry [02:17] got some probs with setting up my bind9 (1st time). Everything ran smooth locally but now I got problems with the rndc.key. the server is running as dns slave and I used rndc-confgen -a to create a new key but still errors in the log.... [02:17] jmcd: no, it was fast for a bit, now it's dragging, immensely [02:17] named seems to run though [02:17] jordan_: install ok [02:17] mbrush: actually, none of the shared folders show in my network places anymore [02:18] dose any one know what software raid ubuntu server uses when creating raid zero? [02:18] jackfusion: md is what's used for raid [02:18] thank you === cakedonkey is now known as fredmv [02:18] syslog says: [02:18] none:0: open: /etc/bind/rndc.key: permission denied [02:18] Feb 21 15:07:27 tui named[3728]: couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: permission denied [02:18] mbrush: I've decided I want to part of .NET on my machine.. and so far that doesn't seem to be a problem. Why is it installed by default? it's actually pretty huge and doesn't seem too important. [02:18] /exit [02:19] jmcd: I mean, it was working fine, other than the fact that it was taking a long time to start up (but I think that is related to wireless card problems) [02:19] jack-desktop: it's /quit [02:19] Hey all. Is anyone well-versed in SDL issues? [02:19] if i want to use a Win wifi driver with ndiswrapper for ubuntu AMD64 from what Win version should the driver be? Vista 64 or just plain XP ? [02:19] codyduncan - did you change anything before it started being slow? [02:19] anyone know where i can find a table of what the entries like "0x99" in "keyboard shortcuts" correspond to on the keyboard? [02:19] fredsua, Have you ever set the region for your dvd drive? ( I am not sure if this should be needed with libdvdcss but it's something worth checking ) [02:19] zcat: it's open source i think, and it brings over C# language from windows which is IMO one of the best languages ever (for me) [02:19] jordan_: No I haven't. Not sure how. [02:19] chimerica, open a termina and type xev [02:19] reasons: thanks [02:19] zcat: if you don't have any mono apps, it ok to uninstall [02:20] [QQ] I need to make pport have super user privlages at startup, how do I do that? [02:20] fredsua, Do DVD's play properly in Windows? [02:20] * badboy ciao a tutti [02:20] I'm getting the dreaded "Unable to initialize SDL: No available video device" when I try running SDL-based games. I've already installed the latest 1.2 libs for Debian and ran a "xhost + localhost". Still not working. [02:20] jordan_: yes they did before I switched. :-) [02:20] jmcd: well, as I had just installed, I changed a lot of things, basically, I installed amarok, wine, mplayer, got rid of rhytmbox, got ktorrent, enabled the restricted drivers, then disabled them, as they were doing nothing for me [02:20] mbrush: ahh.. ok. cool. I'm feeling very ant-MS this week. I decided I'd like to avoide a technology that MS still seems to have so much control over. [02:21] fredsua, Then the region has already been set [02:21] <_Oz_> HALLLOOOOOOO Ubuntu friends! [02:21] jordan_ I was using DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter before with no problems [02:21] hey sorry to bother you but is there a active C++ channel? [02:21] * _Oz_ screams into #ubuntu like a cannonball shot from a distant ship in the bay. [02:21] DrunkenPi: ##C++ ? [02:21] This is likely a stupid issue, but is there anyone here who can help me with video issues? [02:21] zcat: i hear ya .. it's a killer language though [02:21] ryaku, that depends on the video issue === ryaku is now known as ryakufox [02:22] fredsua, That is different, could you use a ( legal ) DVD playing software? [02:22] thanks Pici [02:22] mbrush: never used it. I kinda picked up python a few years back and that was quite easy, but I haven't used it since. [02:22] amule unable to load servers quits [02:22] reasons: Well, I've just installed Ubuntu not a few hours ago. I've managed to work around the usual ATI deal and get ATI drivers for my x1600P working, with XGL and everything. But, it keeps giving me both an XFree86-DRI missing error, and refuses to do direct rendering. [02:23] is there ares for ubuntu [02:23] jordan_: that was before in windows. I'm now using VLM, Totem and gxine and none works [02:23] ryakufox, That is a result of the fact that you are using XGL [02:23] jordan_: Dell was shipping Linux preinstalled with something which I assume was blessed by the DVDCCA or whoever [02:23] Well, is there any workaround? All I wanted was to be able to get desktop effects, and still be able to play my games. [02:24] ryakufox, I believe you have to use alglx [02:24] jordan_: how do I reinstall Ubuntu without deleting everything? [02:24] hey guys, i have two hard drives, one's ide the other one is sata, which one would you recommend installing my os on?? [02:25] reasons: Any way you can run me through that? [02:25] the second drive is used to store data [02:25] fredsua, You can put your /home on a separate partition: [02:25] ryakufox: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, there should be a DRI section with a mode line [02:25] Hiliku1: sata, it's generally much faster [02:25] !home | fredsua [02:25] fredsua: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For mounting your home folder on a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [02:25] zcat[1]: i know, but i do want the faster to be for the OS or for all my data (big files and all that) [02:25] Hiliku1: you want the faster one for the OS.. [02:25] zcat[1]: excellent! [02:26] jordan_, from my experience putting home on a separate partition can get messy if you dont delete the hidden config files [02:26] zcat[1]: thanks [02:26] Hiliku1: i think you want a more responsive OS [02:26] jordan_: thank you [02:26] ryakufox, never had an ATI card but I believe this might be of use to you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=145068 [02:26] ubotu: thank you!

( you should not just use cp with no arguments ) [02:27] codyduncan - I'm stumped. Why did you reinstall? [02:27] ubotu: anything [02:27] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone.

Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:28] <_Oz_> heheh [02:28] <_Oz_> thanks, speeddemon8803 [02:29] Even with the latest 1.2deb libs this simply doesn't work. [02:29] Jordan_U, fresh install but using existing /home partition which retained old config settings from previous install. some settings are depreciated which might adversely effect new protocols [02:29] <_Oz_> fredmv: what's that? [02:30] kevin_121: thanks. I know it works in windows, the audio over HDMI [02:30] does anyone know why..after being able to see all my network drives...now i can no longer see any network folders? I know they are still connected (can browse them in firefox), but they arent visible from folders [02:30] ablyss, He is presumably going to install the same version of Ubuntu [02:30] Basically, I'm trying to get an SDL-based game working (sauerbraten) and it keeps failing with "Unable to initialize SDL: No available video device" [02:30] Hello everyone [02:30] itisi: are they listed with 'mount' command? [02:30] !hi | anonCon [02:31] anonCon: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:31] I already a) installed the latest libs, and b) ran an xhost + localhost to no avail.

I get audio in other applications fine, but flash does not seem to work. I tried to install some libflashsupport package and that doesnt work either. Please help.

I reinstalled because I was using the 64bit version as I use an AMD64, but I was hoping I would have less problems with the 32bit [02:35] so..any ideas? [02:35] it uses samba [02:35] someone help me fix the sound, not help me install flash. [02:35] which is what that page refers to. [02:35] as to why it would work, then now work? [02:35] open filer is a good way to do it, so is samba [02:35] Does anyone here know anything about ATI cards, and direct rendering? [02:35] What needs to be installed on a system so SSL support works for things like ircd etc... ? [02:35] Polygon89, few questions for you: are you using the latest firefox? does the audio stop not play at all or just skip, and does it happen on any flash media or just a certain site?

I got this error: MySQL Strict Mode is not support. How to enable its support? [02:39] jeffMASTERflex, also the fact that the video portion works, but not sound means that the plugin is installed and working...except for the sound. [02:39] DZEJMS007: there's Openoffice and Koffice [02:39] DZEJMS007: it comes with it [02:39] if i've been banned from a channel, how do i get unbanned? [02:39] DZEJMS007, test out Openoffice - see if it does what you need. Its frree for linux and windows. [02:39] use abiword [02:39] openoffice.org [02:39] Polygon89, i see. I don't really know what to tell you. Possibly corrupted libs.. did the install go through w/ out any hitches? [02:39] it isn't as absurd as open office [02:39] i use abiword a lot also. : [02:40] Polygon89: doesn't really work well from there. try /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [02:40] is open office compatible to microsoft office? [02:40] !offtopic | hw00djohn [02:40] hw00djohn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:40] for the most part [02:40] prettyricky: mostly. not completely [02:40] is it compatable i mean doc could be reed [02:40] yes [02:40] hey 1st time succesefully install ubuntu what is a good aim and irc client for ubuntu [02:40] ok,,, [02:40] DZEJMS007: yes [02:40] in ubuntu [02:40] ablyss, i googled the problem and it says it had something to do with flash not liking pulseaudipo..which i guess ubuntu uses now. I tried installing a package called libflashsupport but that didnt do anything [02:40] DZEJMS007: yes [02:40] DZEJMS007, yes. go get it and try it out first if you want. Its free. [02:40] karllenz: pidgin/finch for aim and irssi for irc [02:40] pidgin for aim and irc if you like [02:41] im downloading it now [02:41] pigin does everything, i tend to favour konversation for IRC tho [02:41] tomorrow will instasll [02:41] kool thanx [02:41] Polygon89: are you using hardy? [02:41] and jeffMASTERflex i cannot specify what folder to install the flash plugin to, it only wants to do it to my profile directory. [02:41] jeffMASTERflex, no, gutsy. [02:41] gutsy does not use pulse audio [02:41] Polygon89, perhaps you can install the flash via synaptic and not manually? Or have you tried both of those ideas yet [02:41] <_Oz_> we should ALL be on gutsy now. [02:41] _Oz_: not necessarily [02:42] <_Oz_> Is hardy out now? [02:42] gutsy isnt a lts release. [02:42] oz, no. [02:42] <_Oz_> I see. [02:42] Polygon89: you can install the flash plugin manually. all you have to do is download it from adobe and place the flashplayer.so file into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [02:42] jeffMASTERflex, ive seen libpulseaudio updates come into from update manager... [02:42] I hope ubuntu moves to rolling release soon so that it becomes usable [02:42] I still use Dapper, _Oz_ , for my server ;) [02:42] * faileas notes some people would prefer to remain on 6.04 LTS cause its got longer support [02:42] and ablyss thats what i did originally but it didnt work, so i dled the one from adobe and same thing. [02:42] Polygon89: gutsy does NOT use pulseaudio, regardless of what you saw in the update manager [02:42] <_Oz_> speeddemon8803: but why don't you use the latest and greatest? [02:42] i have a builtin sprint mobile broadband card on my laptop.. whats it like configuring ubuntu to use one of those? [02:42] <_Oz_> We should all be up to date. The more laggards, the more problems, in my view. [02:43] _Oz_ because dapper does what i need it to do :) [02:43] hellooo [02:43] _Oz_: you think you are up to date? [02:43] _Oz_: actually i think dapper is supported longer than gutsy will [02:43] !latest [02:43] I actually had less problems with 7.01 than gutsy.. Gutsy has been the most problematic version of ubuntu I've used thus far [02:43] A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [02:43] exist a way to install ossim-framework with php5? [02:43] _Oz_, ubuntu is behind by default. [02:43] _Oz_, you are not using the latest and greatest even if you are using gutsy, or even hardy. [02:43] ablyss: i personally found otherwise, but depends on the system [02:43] ubuntu is tremendously behind at all times [02:43] <_Oz_> bruenig: absolutely. [02:44] <_Oz_> Polygon89: nonsense. [02:44] * speeddemon8803 looks at the floor [02:44] _Oz_, lol. [02:44] _Oz_: so you aren't using ubuntu? [02:44] <_Oz_> I am using the latest and greatest supported release. [02:44] if you want cutting edge version #'s - a Source based disrto [02:44] im gonna step outta this conversation :) [02:44] <_Oz_> I do not run betas or alpha. [02:44] faileas, it is almost so bad I'm thinking of downgrading [02:44] speeddemon8803: nothing wrong with an older version [02:44] hi, just a test [02:44] _Oz_, this is the latest version of the kernel [02:44] thanx for help greetings from balkan [02:44] _Oz_: ok well the latest supported release is 4 months behind the rest of the linux world [02:44] I know, thats my point faileas :) [02:44] of you want to slit your wrists... source based distros are where it's at [02:44] _Oz_, from kernel.org: 2.6.24.2 [02:44] <_Oz_> bruenig: it is hte proper thing to do. [02:44] <_Oz_> s/hte/the [02:45] _Oz_, and doing a uname -r, i get this 2.6.22-14-generic [02:45] Hello. how do I play DVD? [02:45] _Oz_, not the latest and greatst. [02:45] _Oz_ they mean the packages are not the latest released by the devs [02:45] and kernel [02:45] ossim-framework with php5, any ideas? [02:45] _Oz_: proper is a funny word, but the point is that you are not close to up to date [02:45] * faileas is trying to decide if he should downgrade the install on CT(one of my plaptops). its got a load of issues on gutsy, but less on feisty, mostly to do with the hardware being wirerd [02:45] _Oz_: you are up to date relative to the ubuntu cycle which is way behind so in some respect I guess you are [02:46] *laptops [02:46] bruenig: i don't think it's WAY behind... debian is WAY behind. [02:46] nasamo: get libdvdcss2 [02:46] <_Oz_> bruenig: I am up to date, but most importantly, I am stable. [02:46] jeffMASTERflex: well way is not well defined, way behind with respect to just about every other distribution [02:46] i am depracated [02:47] thelinuxlink.net [02:47] depraved, i mean [02:47] <_Oz_> mbrush: I realize that, but they are hopelessly misguided. [02:47] The hardy alpha 4 liveCD appears to think it's 7.10, anyone had that yet? [02:47] _Oz_: you are up to date in ubuntu terms, you are not up to date in reality, you are probably stable though. However I am up to date in real terms and stable [02:47] bruenig: everything is way behind until it is re-released. unless it's a rolling distro like arch [02:47] <_Oz_> Impossible, bruenig. You are essentially running alpha... very dangerous. [02:47] 2.6.24-ARCH [02:47] I have a question, isnt ubuntu supported for 5 years on the server side? [02:48] im trying to view an XML file 'its a media server config' what browser/program do i need to view this with? [02:48] er well an xml address [02:48] speeddemon8803: lts is, not sure about regular [02:48] _Oz_: I do not use any development software, you are behind even with respect to final releases [02:48] speeddemon8803: LTS is [02:48] speeddemon8803: i think 6.06 is supported until '11 [02:48] soulburner: any text editor [02:48] thanks Trey [02:48] well, thats great because im running 6.06..on my server :) [02:48] sure [02:48] <_Oz_> bruenig: I am not. Do not be absurd. [02:48] _Oz_: for instance you are on .22, the kernel is on .24, you are behind two kernel versions. .24 is not alpha, it is as final as .22 was when it got installed [02:48] jeffMASTERflex, well i have to view the file by going to a lan addy [02:49] i dont know exactly where the file itseslf is located [02:49] you're supposed to go to the localip:7000 and configure the server [02:49] <_Oz_> We are talking OS releases, bruenig, not kernel releases. You are not stable, sir, and I urge you to rethink your ways. [02:49] Have we not drilled this discussion to the ground yet? [02:49] but when i use firefox it just spits out a bunch of stuff doesnt really show anything [02:49] speeddemon8803: if your running a server that needs to be up all the time for the next 5 years, LTS is better ;p [02:49] soulburner: navigate to it with firefox, it can open xml files, then edit the file with a text editor when you get the location [02:49] jeffMASTERflex, ok ill try that, thanks [02:49] _Oz_: see you continue to try to confuse the issue by asserting just blankly that you are up to date, I have already conceded that within the ubuntu world you are up to date, but that the ubuntu world is itself behind, meaning that in absolute terms you are behind [02:50] can somebody please tell me how to fix this ubuntu-vistaloader problem ?? [02:50] carefully crafted statements that invite endless arguments [02:50] <_Oz_> In absolute and relative terms, gutsy is the latest and greatest, and that is the final word, bruenig. [02:50] hi! i did something dumb. [02:50] oh man [02:50] :) [02:50] optx: whats the problem? [02:50] bruenig: just curious, what distro do you use? [02:50] how bout a good media play armoke? [02:50] faileas: arch right now, I used ubuntu for quite a long time though, the release cycle annoyed me though [02:50] Ok, im not an op here, but cmon, we have drilled the issue over versions of ubuntu in the ground....past the point of no return and its flipped in its grave ;) [02:50] how to troll 101 [02:51] not particularly dumb, just wrong. i copied all my settings and such from my old install to this one [02:51] _Oz_: nah man, gutsy IS pretty behind. other distros are indeed ahead and stable, but that's due to the natural release cycle of ubuntu === ActiveOne is now known as IdleOne [02:51] it takes quite a long time to realize how obnoxious it is seeing as it takes 6 months for it to happen [02:51] !offtopic | jeffMASTERflex [02:51] jeffMASTERflex: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:51] danbhfive, i've tested some tips, but none gave me to option to boot into ubuntu without the super-grub cd :( [02:51] now i just need to replace all instances of my old username with my new one [02:51] like, say, for f-spot [02:51] ok, so i have my second computer online via a modem, however now my main appears to be not connecting. this may be because my net is slow[30kb/s] so i was wondering, is there a configuration tool for limiting a computer's internet speed? say i wnat to drop it from 30kb/s to 10kb/s?[this is for net only, other one needs torrents, downloads and more bandwidth than this one] [02:51] lol [02:51] did i miss some ubuntu bashing? [02:51] optx: have you gotten the fixgrub tip? [02:51] anyone in the easteren us watching the eclipse? [02:51] Daisuke_Ido: easier to change your current username to the old one [02:52] !offtopic > AtomicSpark (see the pm from ubotu) [02:52] AtomicSpark: not bashing, just clarifying to those who think that it is up to date [02:52] conundrum: yea, it's pretty cool [02:52] nope ? whats that danbhfive [02:52] if your sound card goes missing how can you get it back [02:52] I'm wanting to set up a mail server using Postfix. I'm confused concerning the type of internet connection. What is needed and what should I beware of? I am in Indonesia, and our web host's mail server in the USA is not letting me send email, so I'm trying to get away from the restrictions. No, I'm not a spammer. [02:52] cane, are you sitting on it? [02:52] cane: missing? [02:52] lol [02:52] conundrum: there is an eclipse? [02:53] Jangari: then i have the joy of changing all of the stuff using the new username to the old one :) [02:53] frank23: yes [02:53] cane: try looking in your shoes [02:53] frank23: total lunar [02:53] there really needs to be a webpage explaining exactly how uptodate ubuntu is, because I have seen several people, including myself, misunderstand it. Is there one already? [02:53] when i lose something it usually turns up in my shoes [02:53] conundrum: is that why I can't see the moon right now? [02:53] Pendeta: i assume your ISP knows you're running a mail server? lots of them block it [02:53] conundrum: i've been watching and taking pictures, hence how i found out about this issue with f-spot :D [02:53] !fixgrub | optx [02:53] optx: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

This is an ubuntu-centric discussion. [02:53] danbhfive: ubuntu is updated every six months. every april and october of every year [02:54] diasuki_ido: cool [02:54] conundrum: thanks. gonna go outside now ;) [02:54] Jangari: and that's why i said "i did something dumb" :) [02:54] danbhfive, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [02:54] yep [02:54] ... not gonna be intenslly red as last August, but still a good show. [02:54] faileas, not yet. I guess I'll need to talk to them first. [02:54] frank23: no prob [02:54] jeffMASTERflex: is that LTS releases or every release? [02:54] anyone use virtualbox to run uphuck successfully [02:54] AtomicSpark: every release. LTS releases are every 2 years i believe [02:54] next eclipse = 2010 december [02:54] EADG: not only that, saturn and a star (regulus?) are clearly visible right by the moon [02:54] darn intel hd sound cards [02:54] perhaps, just perhaps, Daisuke_Ido, if you change your username, all instances of that username will change to a new one, which if it allows it to be the same as another username, might, just might, conflate the two [02:55] !intel_hda | cane [02:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about intel_hda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:55] jeff, not exactly every april and october because june of 06 we had a release ;) [02:55] jeffMASTERflex: well i am excited for the next one. :D [02:55] diasuki_ido: correct [02:55] gah [02:55] anyone use virtualbox to run uphuck successfully [02:55] Daisuke_Ido, its *#$&@&@ cold outside here.. :) but i drug the wife outside anyway to show her.

Time to re-install Stellarium. [02:55] Dr_willis: yeah, my fiancee's at work, but she's seeing the show too [02:55] PriceChild, ive read the help pages [02:55] ah, so i got a release that shouldnt have been? [02:55] danbhfive: new releases create the illusion of updates which is probably where the misunderstading comes in [02:55] anyone use virtualbox to run uphuck successfully [02:56] * speeddemon8803 archives this cd forever and keeps it never to be given away [02:56] ok, so now one computer connects but the other won't [02:56] PriceChild, none of them have led me to finding the device again [02:56] speeddemon8803: It was delayed for two months, for some reasonable reasons. Dapper was suppoesd to be 6.04 [02:56] help please? [02:56] speeddemon8803, no. Extra tiems was spent on its development to make it better. [02:56] *time [02:56] ask [02:56] PriceChild, perhaps a mod prob? [02:56] okay, I've tried and I can not figure out my resolution issues [02:56] sweet :) [02:56] brb[reseting modem] [02:56] I don't get why it worked, and now it doesn't [02:56] nothing changed [02:56] hey, does anyone know how well the aluminum imacs work with ubuntu and compiz?

[02:57] i was hoping ubotu would say "sorry i don't know anything about women" [02:58] AnonCon: have you tried reconfiguring your xorg.conf? [02:58] :(,i will stop it [02:58] whats the command to search for devices [02:58] no, could you please elaborate?

[02:59] w [02:59] _Oz_, ubuntu runs fast in my mobile phone [02:59] AnonCon: then just input the information is asks of you [02:59] Jangari, that way we have more room for support and not just users trying to figure out commands for ubotu :) [02:59] Trey_: there's a lot of documentation on the macbook, but not much for the imac [02:59] who had set up Voip services on Ubuntu ? [02:59] the last documented imac seems to be from several years ago [02:59] thank you, going to try that now [03:00] hw00djohn: open a terminal and have a look inside... "less Nautilus-D" tab to have a peek.

[03:00] Yup :) [03:00] I havent gone back to ipods proprietary stuff since i went to rockbox... [03:00] yeah, is the video supported with a stable build yet? 5.5g? [03:01] eadg how do i do that? [03:01] l7: of course, there are some quirks, such as the iSight and right-clicking, which can be resolved via clever googling [03:01] what package provides the man pages for the standard c libraries? [03:01] ubuntu doesnt like 8800GTS 512 g92 card :( [03:01] I dont know jangari, as i have a nano :) [03:01] I did that..then selected resolutions I wish to be able to use, then it finished, but nothing happened..did I need to do something different? [03:01] but.. [03:01] It's just weird that it worked upon installation, but not today?

[03:05] notice icesword http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo [03:05] Can I ask why a grub floppy would be useful on a computer with no floppy drive, but just a cd-rom? [03:05] grr [03:05] nanbudh: yes [03:05] sorry, forgot the / [03:05] Daisuke_Ido: Indeed [03:05] I just installed yesterday, and it worked fine last night, not today though..any ideas? [03:05] Jangari, yeah thx [03:05] *the resolution [03:05] wsysvn - I have the super grub disk, but I cant get it to re install...I followed the sites guide and no luck [03:05] It replies, gimpshop: [03:05] nanbudh: don't do parallel installs, just install them both. (install ubuntu then install the kubuntu-desktop package, or install kubntu then install the ubuntu-desktop package) [03:05] no my brain is squishy now :P [03:06] Dezine: try "which gimpshop" [03:06] At work I have access to a Windows XP machine. I would like to be able to access my home PC from that machine if I want to transfer files. Start downloads, etc. What do I need to do that? [03:06] hw00djohn: Junk. Don't need. It's not sys critical. Delete or keep it... it's really small, and I can't see it growing... [03:06] im been trying to get mine to work using different drivers etc [03:06] Flannel: okay, thats what i was planning. is there any other way too? [03:06] nanbudh: when you install the second one, you will have many apps in both menus (kde and gnome).. you can edit the menus and seperate menus for each. other than that, everything works fine [03:06] nothing happened [03:06] woodwizzle: probably better asked in #windows [03:06] woodwizzle: your home pc runs ubuntu? [03:06] prince_jammys: thanks [03:06] woodwizzle: search google for VNC [03:06] though vnc viewer might work [03:06] no sound device can someone help [03:06] Daisuke_Ido: What are the stars? I'm googling my lat/long atm [03:06] Dezine: it didn't install correctly then. there is no executable for it [03:06] nanbudh: Those are the only sane ways, but this is linux after all, you can do it probably a thousand different ways [03:06] I didn't change a thing with the resolution settings, or drivers...i am stumpued [03:06] nanbudh: *have separate menus for each [03:06] Yeah I'm running 7.10 at home [03:06] stumped* [03:07] woodwizzle: if you install openssh-server on the ubuntu one, you can use WinSCP to SFTP into your home box and transfer files [03:07] Daisuke_Ido: err, I mean planets. [03:07] Alight, thanks for the tips they'll be useful [03:07] I know I could SSH in but I'd prefer some graphical interface [03:07] i gave up for the night.... will try tommmorow [03:07] woodwizzle: WinSCP has a graphical interface [03:07] woodwizzle: there are SSH GUI frontends [03:07] I'm using CD/DVD creator to burn 4 gigabytes of files to a dvd from an external USB 2.0 hard drive... and the estimated time to do so is 1 hour 14 minutes at full speed... is there a reason for it taking so long? [03:08] woodwizzle: it lets you click through the directories and grab a file then I think you hit an arrow button to send it to the other comp, but it might be drag & drop [03:08] Jangari, cannot open it,maybe it refused my ip [03:08] Where are gutsy's old kernels located? It seems that after I upgraded to the latest kernel, the previous kernels are being wiped out. I really needed to test an old kernel. Does anyone have any clue where they can be installed again? [03:08] can anyone point me to a dual gateway [03:08] u know what really sucks is all the menus at the login the wors are un readable....cant even see my username typed in [03:08] I can still see in 800X600 [03:08] G1015: 1) USB isn't very fasts 2) burning things at a slow speed helps ensure the data's integrity...otherwise you get a coaster [03:08] i can see once im in...at that too [03:08] thanks [03:08] macogw: I mean I would like access to my X server so I can edit settings in my GUI programs [03:09] woodwizzle, ssh -X [03:09] kidem: what kind of video card do you have? [03:09] woodwizzle: oh. umm if you install Cygwin on Windows it puts an X server on Windows so then you can use ssh -X to forward the X apps over ssh to the windows box [03:09] woodwizzle: other than that, what they said about VNC [03:09] eBGA 8800GTS 512 G92\ [03:09] Jordan_U: That'll work from a windows machine? I didn't know that. [03:09] woodwizzle, ssh -C -X to compress ( may help speed ) [03:09] eVGA [03:09] macogw, but 1 hour and 14 minutes? Does that not sound a little long for burning anything? [03:10] woodwizzle, If you have a windows version of X11 installed [03:10] kidem: you need the new nvidia drivers for proper support. all envy does is tear a new one into your system and is never recommended [03:10] Jordan_U: ah, i getcha. [03:10] well i seen envy go get the new drivers 169. [03:10] whats the command to open the emerald theme manager from the command line? [03:10] G1015: ummm well i usually burn CDs at 2x and that takes about 15-20 minutes, I guess [03:10] hey folx ... anyone ever hit the glitch where you hit backspace and hold it down ... and it does not repeat? [03:10] like just one backspace per press [03:10] ph0rensic: emerald-theme-manager [03:11] ph0rensic: if you just type em then hit the tab key twice, itll list all possible commands that start with em [03:11] lunar eclips [03:11] G1015: CDs are a lot smaller than DVDs [03:11] credible, thanks you [03:11] ha..figured it out, and it only took an hour [03:11] macogw, thanks bro [03:11] macogw: It's just strange it use to take me around 10-15 minutes to burn a dvd [03:11] ph0rensic: girl [03:12] macogw, Pardon me [03:12] G1015: check your burn speed settings [03:12] hello [03:12] G1015: and the USB transfer speed could be factoring in...that can really take a while [03:12] how can u check what ports are bein used please [03:12] on a linux shell [03:13] NativeAngels: you mean like this http://dir.filewatcher.com/d/Ubuntu/i386/net/doscan_0.2.9-1_i386.deb.62718.html [03:13] no from the kernal [03:13] macogw, I think the problem is it's copying the files to the folder... which takes more time.. and then it burns from there... If it burned directly from the hard drive without copying it would probably be faster but I don't know how to make it do that [03:14] hi [03:14] is there a command to list what ports are being used [03:14] G1015: what directory is it copying to? [03:14] NativeAngels: netstat -a i think [03:14] I'm trying to install ubuntu from an USB drive [03:14] I've followed this instructions: http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Install_from_USB_drive [03:14] macogw, CD/DVD creator [03:14] NativeAngels: from the kernel?? you can see your firewall (iptables...it's in the kernel) config like this: sudo iptables -L [03:14] NativeAngels: netstat -tup might help... not sure though. [03:15] but I'm getting a "/linuxrc: not found" error and then a kernel panic [03:15] G1015: the Nautilus one? yep, that'd slow ya down. you could just use something else for burning. I like GnomeBaker, but others recommend Brasero on GNOME or K3B on KDE [03:15] what are those little things you can add to the desktop to view system resources? [03:15] cpu proc/load/mem info [03:15] G1015: K3B is probably the one with the most configuration options since it's from KDE, but it can be used on GNOME just fne [03:15] soulburner: conky? [03:16] macogw, cool I'll give one of those a try.. I thought it would be cool to just use what came installed in ubuntu without having to install anything else but thats cool [03:16] macogw, perhaps let me search that and see [03:16] soulburner: gkrellm? [03:16] yes gkrellm [03:16] soulburner: conky, but you can also use a system info applet on your panel [03:16] i remember using that a long time ago [03:16] soulburner: thats what i use [03:16] jeffMASTERflex, can it be made to be transparent and always shown on the destop? [03:16] I looked at the initrd.gz and the linuxrc is missing there is a "init" script though, but I changed syslinux.cfg to use that and I get a new error: mount: Mounting none on /proc failed: Device or resource busy [03:16] any ideas? [03:16] luca_: I'm not sure what directions you used, but I know the ones at pendrivelinux.com work, you may want to see if there are any obvious differences that may screw things up, or just try the ones on the site. [03:16] macogw, gkrellm? [03:16] soulburner: i think you are looking for conky. gkrellm is atrocious [03:16] Quick question...what program should a budding C++ user look for? [03:16] ah ok [03:16] NativeAngels: install iftop if you want to watch connections and ports r/t. [03:16] anyone familiar with dsdts? [03:17] C++programmer [03:17] soulburner: yes, thats what i use. as far as transparent goes though...do you want something like the widgets on the OSX Dashboard? Screenlets is the closest thing to that [03:17] wanting to write some code [03:17] Trey_: I'll take a look to that, thanks [03:17] AnonCon: a text editor? [03:17] ok ill check out conky first [03:17] AnonCon: you mean text editor? [03:17] AnonCon: I just go with a text editor [03:17] soulburner: conky does transparancy and it can be customized and embedded on your desktop [03:17] AnonCon: Ed is the standard :P [03:17] macogw: hmmm...I thought i needed a compiler [03:17] !editors | AnonCon [03:17] AnonCon: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [03:17] if I am wrong please enlighten me [03:18] !compile | AnonCon [03:18] AnonCon: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:18] AnonCon: if you install build-essential, gcc and all the other compilers will be installed [03:18] macogw, do you prefer GnomeBaker or Bresero? [03:18] G1015: gnomebaker [03:18] AnonCon: you basically need a text editor and install build-essential . that's basically it [03:18] macogw, conky can be visable on the desktop at all times yes? [03:18] macogw, K thanks man for the help sorry for all the questions [03:18] anyone familiar with AHCI? [03:18] build-essential..thanks [03:18] soulburner: conky sort of stays embedded in your desktop...so it looks like its right on the wallpaper [03:18] soulburner: yes it can. but last i remember it had problems being used in tandem with compiz. not sure if that's been resolved ot not [03:19] ahhh ok thats what i wanted [03:19] jeffMASTERflex, ok, ill check it out [03:19] anyone in VietNam ? [03:19] G1015, test [03:19] hopefully i dont have any problems [03:19] anyone Vietnamese using Ubuntu ? [03:19] How to remove a non empty folder? [03:19] Has anyone used autocutsel successfully? [03:19] command [03:19] tquocvu_: do you need help in vietnamese? [03:20] ? [03:20] CVD-PR: rm -rf folder [03:20] so.. do I download the dpkg-dev? [03:20] CVD-PR: or rmdir (directory) [03:21] must be empty [03:21] true [03:21] I use microsoft stuff at school [03:21] or, CVD-PR rm folder/*, then rmdir folder [03:21] mac, where do i start conky from? ive installed it now [03:21] otherwise as jeffMASTERflex said [03:21] so I am a little confused [03:21] AnonCon: installing the package build-essential will install everything you need to get started with C or C++ [03:21] yes, i have problems when using ubuntu in vietnamese [03:21] ok [03:22] soulburner: dont know, but id suggest checking ubuntuforums.org for sample configuration files [03:22] dont know if im aloud to paste in here [03:22] Just got a MX Revolution at work. HATE it. the middle mouse button seems to be SW driven.. Was needing new mouse for home. Anyone have a logitech G5 or G9? Does the middle click actually work? [03:22] but what does this mean [03:22] !pastebin | NativeAngels [03:22] AnonCon: just do "sudo apt-get install build-essential" and youll have your compilers [03:22] Error binding stream socket to IP 83.170.81.18 port 8067 [03:22] sorry [03:22] NativeAngels: 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) [03:22] oh, one line is fine [03:22] how do I find that package? [03:22] taer, just call logitech, i had some problems with revolution and they sent me a new one and it works great [03:22] soulburner: conky is customized through a .conkyrc file. it's a little complicated. might want to search around online for others to get a feel for it [03:22] Did Gutsy use the 2.6.22 kernel line from the beginning? [03:22] AnonCon: then you need a text editor in which to type the code. i use vim, which is a command line text editor. if you're used to Visual Studio, you'd probably prefer to install Eclipse and the C++ plugins [03:23] AnonCon: itll just download it from the internet and install it all at once [03:23] soulburner: TYPE CONKY IN CONSOLE [03:23] AnonCon: just put what's between the quotes into a terminal and hit enter, that's it [03:23] is there a way of clearin a port if its being used [03:23] TrustNoOne: Normal X config? Or did you have to change to the evdev driver? [03:23] from the kernal [03:23] sorry 4 da caps lock [03:23] TrustNoOne: left/right pastes, but thats annoying. [03:23] man, I don't want to sound dense, but I am totally confused [03:24] I don't mean "man" in the literal sense [03:24] taer, just normal configuration, but i called their tech support and they just ended up sending me a brand new revolution mouse (i had to send the old one back though) [03:24] * lab_rat is sleepy... [03:24] Hey i have an AMD64 1.8ghz, i changed the cpu-clock from 200mhz to 255mhz in the bios, now i have a 2.95ghz. Can i keep this settings or go back to the defaults? [03:24] AnonCon: confused about what--please clarify [03:24] AnonCon: if you just type "sudo apt-get install build-essential" without quotes in the terminal, everything you need to compile code will download & instsall [03:24] AnonCon: open a terminal, then type this into it: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [03:24] TrustNoOne: thx. [03:24] AnonCon: are you confused about how things are installed? [03:24] how do u list all processes in linux [03:24] AnonCon: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" that's it. then you type your code in an IDE or text editor. you can use eclipse, geany, vim, emacs, w/e you want to type it in [03:25] NativeAngels: ps -aux [03:25] I'm getting an error when I run 'grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda' which reads 'The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly' Any ideas anyone? [03:25] it does the rest for you (all you have to do is put in your password when it asks you) [03:25] CVD-PR: try until 4 ghz is reached [03:25] NativeAngels: type in console top or htop [03:25] so what's the deal with Ubuntu and Azureus [03:25] 255mhz is the max [03:25] htop has to be installed though [03:25] rilo, what do you mean? [03:25] top -A > top.txt [03:25] rilo: what about it? [03:25] rilo what is the issue [03:25] i goma have problem if i keep that setting? [03:25] bazhang: true :] [03:26] ahhh...progress..finally...I understand a little [03:26] apt-get only pulls 2.5.0.0 [03:26] installing programs in ubuntu is exceedingly simple, AnonCon [03:26] mostly [03:26] OOH [03:26] rilo try transmission--the default for the next version of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron 8.04 [03:26] rilo, if you are wanting vuze, you can get it from their site [03:26] lab_rat i mean opening it as a daemon [03:26] NativeAngels: Htop is prefered... it's nice :) Anouther way is ps -e |less, and pstree |less. [03:26] CVD-PR: not at all, just make sure you have money to buy new harware [03:26] hardware [03:26] so i dont have to keep a terminal open [03:26] apparently there's a ubuntu varient designed for VMs ;p [03:27] rilo: azureus now contains a non free component, so it's possible that they won't be packaging newer versions, but don't quote me on that [03:27] AnonCon: you can also install build-essential from system -> admin -> synaptic package manager (on gnome....it's called Adept and I don't know where it hides on KDE), but copying and pasting the commands we give you is faster than hunting down the package in the GUI :p [03:27] how to check the temperature from linux? [03:27] TrustNoOne: yea, I just wanted it to be clean [03:27] cpu [03:27] soulburner: if you type: nohup & [03:27] soulburner: try alt + F2 then typing conky [03:27] lm-sensors? [03:27] TrustNoOne: Sorry, forgot. What distro? [03:27] is miro better than azureus? [03:27] soulburner: you can close the terminal then [03:27] CVD-PR: apci -V iirc [03:27] jeffMASTERflex: yea, I figured that was the problem. I run the classic interface anyway, but yea. [03:27] pen pretty much a whole different thing [03:27] ahhhhh you are all great men!, thank you [03:27] jeff thanks i done that [03:27] !best | pen [03:27] pen: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [03:27] mac thanks for the suggestion on conky [03:28] i like it [03:28] EADG, command not found [03:28] soulburner: nohup means "no hang up" so when you close the terminal it doesnt close the program, and the & backgrounds the task so you get back to a prompt and can close the terminal [03:28] rilo, most private sites allow you to use azureus if it is past version 2.5.0.4, but transmission is also becoming more popular and more widely used and most private and public trackers allow that client as well [03:28] how do you redirect standard output to two files? [03:28] CVD-PR: I stand corrected.. acpi -V [03:28] hm [03:28] can I reconfigure an ubuntu install without re-installing when moving to new hardware? [03:28] yurimxpxman: tee, probably [03:28] same thing [03:28] got it [03:28] CVD-PR: hmm. [03:28] CyD: you could migrate your current installation to your new hardware [03:28] pen miro is largely a rss scraper that also has a torrent engine, others such as azureus are only torrent clients [03:28] ohhhhhhhhhh ok [03:29] thanks mac, im new back to linux havent used it in a few years [03:29] so i really appreciate the help [03:29] then I'm sorry I asked the wrong question [03:29] Can someone help? I think I'm missing something...I tried to sh something, but this is all I got. "cat: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build/include/linux/version-*.h: No such file or directory" [03:29] anyone know a good site to get some cool bootloading screens in higher resolution? [03:29] how about mutorrent and azerues? [03:29] TrustNoOne: yea, I just like Azureus. So my question is, how can I install the newest Azureus cleanly? I know how to get it running, but as far as doing it "properly" I'm not exactly sure [03:29] Jangari: i was wondering if dpkg -reconfigure kernel or some such might be enough [03:29] pen: utorrent runs fine in wine [03:29] TrustNoOne: there is always GNOMEart [03:29] soulburner: if you want to start up conky when you log in, add it to your System/Preferences/Sessions [03:29] CVD-PR: well, lets install acpi. sudo apt-get install acpi. [03:29] soulburner: np that's something even a lot of experienced users probably dont know about... one of the other UF mods was all "omg seriously??" when i told him that on the phone :p [03:30] full functional? [03:30] pen this is not really a chat channel; there are several sites that rate the various torrent clients [03:30] !themes | TrustNoOne try here [03:30] TrustNoOne try here: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [03:30] Jangari: or is there some sort of migration tool? [03:30] LOL [03:30] rilo, there are instructions when you download azureus, it is a deb package I believe so it should install itself, personally I had a problem getting the new azureus running (it would crash on startup) so I am just using 2.5 version as most of my private trackers allow that client and its pretty much the same thing as the newer version minux a few extra's [03:30] is ther ea way to change where its at on the desktop [03:30] where is the conf file located for this? [03:30] ryakufox: the script you ran is looking for a file that doesnt exist [03:31] soulburner: .conkyrc it's a hidden file in your home directory [03:31] Hello everyone, please help, how to enable external monitor? [03:31] soulburner: ~/.conkyrc [03:31] macogw: Any clue what it is? [03:31] soulburner: ~ means your home directory, and . makes the file hidden [03:31] ok great, ill have to look around through search engines for config helping [03:31] TrustNoOne: so I just toss the .deb in /home/rilo and install it [03:31] hay macogw, that's quite a nice command, i might employ that when initiating huge jobs over a ssh connection, i could initiate them, then close the terminal and shutdown, groovy [03:31] ahhhhhh ok [03:31] genius dvi vga or what--plugging it in would be a good first step [03:31] soulburner: check on ubuntuforums. there's a thread called something like "show us your conkyrc" and so its full of screenshots with config files [03:31] genius: did you try the monitor conf tool in the preferences panel (if you use GNOME)? [03:31] i don't know, CyD, there are plenty of ways [03:31] TrustNoOne: I know using Synaptic it will set it up in /usr/bin/ [03:32] okay sweeet [03:32] ok thanks Jangari [03:32] CyD: what's the new hardware? [03:32] I use Gnome, i've tryed monitor conf tool. But it does not help. I have notebook [03:32] ryakufox: itd be the one that's listed before "no such file or directory" :P [03:32] do anyone know why fullscreen any window ubuntu will become weird? [03:32] hi [03:33] that's not very descriptive, pen [03:33] like firefox or games or apps [03:33] How do I remove the bottom bar in ubuntu [03:33] I have AWN installed and want to remove that one [03:33] for example [03:33] how do u kill all processes in linux [03:33] It was not easy on OpenSUSE. Looks like it is harder here too [03:33] seracht: right-click it and hti delete this panel [03:33] hit* [03:33] NativeAngels: in a terminal type killall process [03:33] ryakufox: actually, looking at my system, it's called version.h not version-something.h [03:33] seracht: right click it, and select delete [03:33] firefox will flicker when fullscreen, games fullscreen will do a hard crash, other apps will just plain crash and freezes [03:33] ryakufox: so if you edit the file and change that line to point to version.h it might work [03:33] TrustNoOne: well, Azureus gives you a tarball, but apparently this getdeb.net site has it [03:34] NativeAngels: kill PID (process id) . to kill by name, do what jeffMASTERflex said [03:34] Jangari: moving from nforce2 chipset to nforce4/690 [03:34] i dont want to enter sudo command everytime as i have to key the password... how do i log in as root... what is the command [03:34] lan usually seems to be a prob in this move [03:34] nickrud: can I add it back easily though? [03:34] macogw-Thanks. [03:34] pen sounds like a hardware issue fullscreen works fine here [03:34] !root [03:34] 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 [03:34] Ububegin: sudo has a 15 minute timeout set by default [03:34] CyD: presumably your install is on a local hard drive? [03:34] seracht: yes, right click another, and select new panel [03:34] bazhang: hardware? [03:34] Jangari: yep [03:34] bazhang: what do you mean? [03:34] pen specifically video card [03:34] macogw: how to increase it to few hours... [03:34] just keep it then, [03:35] no reinstallation necessary [03:35] Jangari: just minor things like needing a diff lan driver or such is usually what happens [03:35] Ububegin: if you want to keep a terminal open as root, you can make it a root shell with "sudo -s" or "sudo su" (which are like "su") or "sudo -i" or "sudo su -" (which are like "su -" since they go to root's environment) [03:35] bazhang: I use NVIDIA go 7600 [03:35] macogw: or do u know , how to login as the root [03:35] bazhang: is it not supported? [03:35] oh well, CyD, cross those bridges when you come to them [03:35] what games pen [03:35] what is gtk 2.x? [03:35] bazhang: astromenace [03:36] karllenz: the gimp tool kit version 2 [03:36] bazhang: or [03:36] karllenz: the .x, you mean? it means version >=2 but < 3 [03:36] karllenz: the libraries that draw the stuff inside the window borders [03:36] !gtk | karllenz [03:36] karllenz: GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [03:36] bazhang: Tileracer [03:36] macogw: danke, dude [03:36] Jangari: heh ok was just trying to get a jump start. i've done a few of these upgrades where i just reinstalled in the end [03:36] also with AWN, how do I get more widgets and what not [03:36] how do i instal gtk2.x themes then ? [03:36] hey macogw. [03:37] !themes [03:37] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [03:37] karllenz: get the .tar.gz's off of http://gnome-look.org and drag n drop them into the thing in system -> preferences -> appearance [03:37] pen I have the 7300 (desktop); how does sauerbraten run for you? may be a drivers issue--do you have the full 3d functionality enabled (ie the correct driver for that)? [03:37] bwayne: whats up? [03:37] . [03:37] bazhang: that one runs fine [03:37] macogw: just trying to diagnose a FAH problem. saw a name I recognized and wanted to say 'howdy'. [03:37] bazhang: 3d acceleration is on [03:37] thanx macogw [03:37] what does ubuntu prefer to use for encryption? I would like to use a file as a virtual drive and encrypt that. [03:38] http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=A_Visual_Install_Guide#Ubuntu check this seracht it may help [03:38] bazhang: I use envy to install driver [03:38] this sound problem is driving me nuts [03:38] uhoh envy pen [03:38] bazhang: is it not good? [03:38] !envy [03:38] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:38] ubotu to the rescue [03:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about to the rescue - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:38] pen: ouch... envy = xorg death [03:38] generally reviled around here pen [03:38] jeffMASTERflex: why? [03:38] oops [03:39] i tried restarting alsa [03:39] seracht: http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Main_Page [03:39] but to no avail [03:39] drag and drop does not seem to work [03:39] bazhang: what what should I do? [03:39] pen: because it is unsupported, unstable and tends to do more harm then good [03:39] macogw: I fixed the file error, but now it's saying "Error: could not resolve matching ip-library." You know what might be wrong? [03:39] jeffMASTERflex: really? [03:39] use the ubuntu way of doing things pen ;] [03:39] ryakufox: no [03:39] bazhang: O.o [03:39] bwayne: oh hello. i dont know what FAH is, though, so I can't help there [03:40] it says them engine is needed [03:40] !nvidia | pen [03:40] pen: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:40] i need to complie it [03:40] karllenz: which one? [03:40] anyone familiar with the SB450 ati sound card issue? [03:40] karllenz: for some themes you need a particualr themeing engine installed. find the ones you need in synaptic [03:40] karllenz: if you install gtk2-engines it should install all of them [03:41] I'm currently running compiz. is there a way to change the behavior on double clicking the title bar to make it maximize instead of scroll up? [03:41] I mean roll up [03:41] YeTr2: yes, that setting is in ccsm [03:41] macogw: where? [03:41] pen really good the way ubuntu does it, and they will keep your card uptodate with new kernel updates whereas envy needs to be run again and again and again etc [03:41] I just tried to specify a FULL path to Gnome (or nautilus or whatever is handling it) for a mount point of drive of mine that I wanted to mount in a specific location and now it yells at me for doing so. How can I REMOVE said specified mount point from GNOME? [03:41] YeTr2: the settings thiing [03:41] YeTr2: compizconfig-settings-manager if you dont have it installed [03:42] sensors = 32c, acpi -V = 40c? [03:42] YeTr2: it should be either in the general settings or in window manager settings, i think [03:42] bazhang: but then how do I choose what drivers I want to install? [03:42] !ccsm | YeTr2 [03:42] YeTr2: 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 [03:42] Jouva: you'll find it in gconf-editor (run from the terminal) , look for storage in the left pane [03:42] macogw: if you having looked at the configuration options in ccsm recently, it's freaken complex. where in this nice area of 50 something mini menus is it? [03:42] mac, i've mounted another drive but it doesnt configure into conky as the diskspace, do i need to configure the other drive in [03:42] for it to show? [03:42] Jouva: /system/storage that is [03:42] YeTr2: either in General or in Window Management [03:43] pen the restricted driver manager should take care of that for you we can help with reconfiguring x server if need be ;] [03:43] YeTr2: i dont have compiz on this computer, so i cant really be exact [03:43] nickrud: Ahh no direct way then eh? That's kinda dumb that they DIDN'T tell the user that it needs to NOT be a full path and then not allow one to back out gracefully [03:43] soulburner: i dont know. i dont use conky, i use gkrellm [03:43] bazhang: but I found out that the current 100 series driver is not for my laptop [03:43] ahhhhh ok [03:43] Jouva: been bit by that myself [03:43] bazhang: it's too beta [03:43] too bugy [03:43] bazhang: so I downgrade to 90 series [03:44] Also I don't see it in there [03:44] Anyone know of a way to fix my ext3 partition through windows? [03:44] bazhang: and I remember that NVIDIA changelog says 100 series are for 8xxx cards [03:44] Jouva: it will be under /system/storage/_org_fredesktop -etc [03:44] thechitowncubs boot with a livecd and check it from there [03:44] nickrud: I see default options for various file sysytems [03:44] After last kernel upgrade it borked my partition i guess [03:44] pen well if you use envy you need to look to the envy people for support; as far as I am aware envy is not supported here--I dont make the rules (sadly) [03:45] mjw-, thats what i thought, im having trouble burning the iso i just downloaded tho [03:45] bazhang: oh [03:45] thechintowncubs, what is wrong with it? [03:45] bazhang: then do you know how to downgrade or do something like restrict new drivers to be install? [03:45] whats the best linux bit torrent client [03:45] hi guys with Vista you have a lot of control over different things regarding power, like strength of WiFi, max CPU speed etc. Is there an app similar to that for Ubuntu? [03:45] thechitowncubs: what specific problem with burning please be precise [03:45] Jouva: arg, /system/storage/volumes/_org etc that is [03:46] I can't find volumes [03:46] bazhang, well, i downloaded one of the dvd iso's and it 2 of my burning apps(CD Burner XP, Power ISO) say that my ISO is not valid. [03:46] I only see default_options under /system/storage [03:46] cmueller: that is an argument for the ages ;] transmission, deluge and a few others are good clients [03:47] no golden one like utorrent then:/ [03:47] thechitowncubs: try isorecorder2 [03:47] bazhang: no ideas? [03:47] hey guys, i got a couple quick questions.... is there a way to shut down a PC(ubuntu) on my network, from my laptop [03:47] Jouva: you can do gconftool --recursive-unset /system/storage/volumes , that will unset all your custom mounting stuff, and then you can redo [03:47] cmueller: utorrent works under wine [03:47] thechitowncubs: Try using BurnCDCC [03:47] thank you [03:47] i will [03:47] lets see... [03:48] I've used it to burn ISO's under Windows and it works like a charm [03:48] pen you want advice while still using envy? not sure what you are asking here--the restricted manager will choose the one that ubuntu teams has selected not sure about downgrading though [03:48] seracht: Not one all-inclusive app as far as I'm aware, but there are seprate programs; iwconfig for txpower, cpufreq-set for speed... [03:48] cmueller, I use rtorrent though deluge is nice if you want a GUI [03:48] <_Oz_> ToddEDM: I wish there was a way to do that. I'd do it if so. But no, it is impossible... [03:48] how about screenlets how do they get installed? [03:48] nickrud: THAT didn't do it EITHER... weird. [03:48] cool EADG, I'll check that out [03:48] bazhang: I thought restricted manager will always choose the newest driver? [03:48] bazhang: and the newest now is 100 series? [03:48] also, do you guys know anything like widgets to what mac has for ubuntu [03:49] _Oz_: damn, my PC has alot of fan noise, and is bothering me rigt now, as im in bed === badboy is now known as badboy[away] [03:49] nickrud: I mean I know you're telling me the right thing for what I am speaking of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-mount/+bug/107668 [03:49] Jouva that is very strange, that's how the custom mounting stuff gets done [03:49] pen: it will choose the newest availabel driver supported by ubuntu [03:49] is there any way to slow down the output of cat? [03:49] i like command line actually [03:49] jeffMASTERflex: but how about my hardware? [03:49] can load stuff up from work easily then in a screen session [03:49] pen well there will always be some lag time for when nvidia releases new drivers and ubuntu packages them for use in the restricted manager [03:49] i think i used somethign liek bit tornado before [03:50] cmueller, rtorrent is CLI and is amazingly powerful [03:50] rtorrent is the best, by far performance and features [03:50] seracht: I'd recommend to you the search feature in Synaptic. Surprising what you can find in the Ubuntu software repositories. Dead easy to install - and remove if it's not to your liking. [03:50] Jouva: are you running gconf-editor as root? [03:50] OH [03:50] Yes [03:50] I JUST noticed that [03:50] so how do I set Azureus to be my default bittorrent application? I used a .torrent's properties to open with Azureus, but all the programs still see gnome-btdownload as the default. [03:50] what is synaptic [03:50] I figured I needed to run it as root for administrative purposes [03:50] heh. I always start at the bottom of bug reports [03:50] AHA [03:51] seracht: the package manager... how you install new applications [03:51] seracht the package manager gui [03:51] Jouva: gconf controls your custom settings [03:51] oh, I have been doing apt-get lol [03:51] nickrud: Ok. And I found it and changed it and testing now [03:51] seracht: It's akin to Add/Remove Programs in Win, but much more powerfull/usefull. [03:51] rilo: right click on a torrent file and click on properties. go to open with to change associations [03:52] how do I use dpkg to list all packages available in a remote repository? [03:52] jeffMASTERflex: I did, it didn't work. If I reopen the .torrent file, it's still selected as Azureus. That's what I said I did [03:52] AHH much better [03:52] rilo: uninstall that gnome-bt download garbage [03:52] seracht: You can spend a few days poking around in Synaptic... [03:52] lol [03:52] wierd [03:53] screenlet isn't on there [03:53] gmcastil, synaptic [03:53] jeffMASTERflex: I tried, it wanted me to uninstall ubuntu-desktop if I uninstalled it [03:53] btw, if I were to switch from envy to ubuntu [03:53] !screenlets | seracht [03:53] seracht: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [03:53] what is Core0 temp? [03:53] seracht: they have their own site [03:53] how do I do it? [03:53] icesword: i prefer the command line tools actually [03:53] rilo: ubuntu-desktop is not a required package. it is a meta package and is safe to delete [03:53] nickrud: thank you thank you [03:53] How can I use the symbol table in the libx11 dbg library to get a meaningful backtrace from a crashing xterm? [03:53] CPU 40c, Core0 temp 32c [03:53] jeffMASTERflex: what's included in it? [03:53] DAMNIT, all day downloading that iso and i can't burn it! [03:54] icesword: apt-get handles all the repository interactions, doesn' it? [03:54] I tried loading it with gdb `symbol-file' but then gdb seg faults. [03:54] seracht: not yet in the repos, will be for hardy [03:54] rtorrent is my baby then [03:54] rilo: nothing. it's a pointer package. it points to other packages but doesn't really do anything on its own. uninstalling it will have no affect [03:54] Jouva: you would have found it, you had the bug report. [03:54] CVD-PR: acpi got installed succesfully I see. [03:54] but waht is the Core0 Temp? [03:55] jeffMASTERflex: but I still want to set Azureus as the default. ok about the ubuntu-desktop [03:55] my acpi is so screwed right now [03:55] CVD-PR: the temp in your first processor [03:55] CVD-PR: I dunno. You running a duo core? [03:55] I still have problems switching to external monitor on my notebook. I've tryed millions of times to set Monitor 1 to default with different settings. [03:55] rilo: if it's the only package that can open up torrents, that would make it the default, wouldn't it? [03:55] nickrud: True but it's sometimes easier for me to talk to somebody, even if they don't end up being the one that helps directly. Sometimes I need to ask somebody a question before my brain kicks in ;) [03:55] not just AMD64 EADG [03:55] how to do some thing that automatically checks wheather a proccess has not been runing for a specified time. if it isnt, runs it and logs in a file that it has made it run.? [03:55] It does not save settings at all! :( [03:56] rilo: and if you are wondering how to do it directly from firefox, just go to preferences/applications in firefox and change the default for torrents [03:56] anyone? envy to ubuntu? [03:57] !envy [03:57] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:57] RangdeBasanti: monit is one of many apps that do that [03:57] CVD-PR: ahh, dunno man. I have same on this lappy and all I get is CPU xx. I wouldn't loose sleep over it though. [03:58] jeffMASTERflex: that's what I was thinking when I tried it before, but that's obviously not the right way to do it. I use Opera and have that menu open... just trying to change what comes up in the default field [03:58] nickrud monit ? [03:58] RangdeBasanti: take a look at the description in synaptic, or apt-cache show monit [03:58] pen I gave you a link earlier; you can /msg ubotu nvidia for the link again [03:59] bazhang: I opened the link already [03:59] rilo: i have never had a problem changeing file association by right clicking on a file, properties, and changing the default in open with. i use transmission, even with other torrent apps installed, and don't havea problem with file associations [03:59] bazhang: it only says open up restricted manager [03:59] anyone know if its possible to mount --bind multiple folders into one? [03:59] nickrud ok. monit will run it. if its not run for the last 2 hours. (specified time) ? [03:59] jeffMASTERflex: yea, I don't know why it's not working. That's the first thing I did. [03:59] RangdeBasanti: yes, among other things [03:59] thunderchicken: i tried this a while ago [03:59] pen and then what is the issue? [03:59] bazhang: if I enable the driver, what should I do with envy? [04:00] bazhang: leave it there? [04:00] bazhang: will it cause problem with x? [04:00] how did it work out? everytime i load another folder it gets rid of the first folder i bound [04:00] rilo: the easiest way, of course, is to get rid of the bt-download program and it's associated packages [04:00] bazhang: I was worrying about the questions it might happen if I enable it in the manager [04:00] hey when i try to enable nvidia under restricted driver manager i get this error "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [04:00] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [04:00] " [04:00] i ended up using UnionFS to unite the two bind mounted dirs [04:00] I remember some older linux/unix systems that I've used had a local email system on it that would let you send email from one user to another locally only and would notify you when you logged into the system. Is there something like that for Ubuntu for the command line? [04:00] rilo, sorry about the delay i was on the phone, download the tar file, extract to wherever /usr/bin is fine, then go into terminal, go to that directory and run ./azureus and it will start up [04:01] zerodamage: you can install exim4 or postfix, they provide local mail delivery [04:01] mbrush ive been reading about unionfs but i cant seem to get it to work if i try and unionfs two folders to another folder the folder i want them to bind gets deleted [04:01] bazhang: what do you suggest? [04:01] TrustNoOne: I used the .deb from that other site and dpkg'd it in my /home/rilo [04:01] TrustNoOne: just trying to associate it with .torrent files now [04:02] thunderchicken_ bind mount two seperate dirs and then unionfs them together in a third dir [04:02] While I doubt I'll get an answer here, I'll try. In every file manager I use there is the gnome footprint in the top right corner. Is there a way to remove or change that icon? [04:02] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. any ideas??? [04:02] nickrud: I looked at postfix but it did not seem to do what I wanted. I want whatever did what I remember from way back when. Maybe there isn't something but I recall logging into the system and having the system notify me I had some messages and I could read them and reply if I wanted. I want to do that on ubuntu server without an overly huge hassle. [04:02] rilo, just right click a torrent file, go to properties, go to the "open with" tab and add azureus in there, click ok or close and it should be associated with it [04:03] Hello, can anyone help me repair my fileysystem, I got into the live cd finally [04:03] pen not sure as I have never used envy--I would suggest backing up on a regular basis as stuff like that (third party) who knows what will happen--enable the drivers in the restricted driver manager and then follow the rest of the instructions from that link [04:03] how do u find whats running on what port in linux [04:03] pen if you need help configuring resolution once that is done then we can likely help out [04:03] NativeAngels: nmap [04:04] bazhang: ok [04:04] zerodamage: probably was a custom setup for that old distro. Personally, I think that exim4 (set for local delivery only) , and mutt would do what you want [04:04] nmap [04:04] halo [04:04] bazhang: btw, will enabling the driver change the xorg.conf? [04:04] NativeAngels: netstat -anp <- run as root [04:04] nickrud: thx. I will take a look at those two [04:04] bazhang: or errors with the kernel? [04:04] reasons it would easier if you used xfce to customize things (put an Apple there for example ;] ) though it is also possible under gnome [04:05] TrustNoOne: yea, that's what I did, but no worky [04:05] when I try to run fsck from the live cd i get: fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hda [04:05] Could this be a zero-length partition? [04:05] TrustNoOne: well, when I closed and opened the properties, Azureus was still selected, but other programs still see the old client as the default [04:05] thechitowncubs: did you fsck /dev/hda ? [04:05] rilo, im a little busy doing other stuff but im working on the new version of vuze as i would like to get that one working as well, so ill let you know [04:06] pen not sure how that could make errors in the kernel, but dont you want your xorg conf file to be changed? was that not the point of this whole exercise? [04:06] TrustNoOne: it's working great for me... just had to remove that Vuze content layer [04:06] oh ok [04:06] bazhang: I think I have a working one already [04:06] nickrud: yes [04:06] bazhang: I don't want to create panic [04:06] can any body tell me what i need to do for k3b in makeing the data burn as date and time [04:06] bazhang: that doesn't feel good [04:07] thechitowncubs: you fsck partitions, not disks. Like fsck /dev/hda1 [04:07] pen then load it up and see what happens--using the restricted drivers is the safest bet though [04:07] im settting up unreal on my linux box [04:07] but im gettin a streaming errror [04:07] sayin a ports in use [04:07] bazhang: you mean with the restricted, the fullscreen bug will be solved [04:07] bazhang: ? [04:07] but i cant find where to look and to stop it [04:07] can any body tell me what i need to do for k3b in makeing the data burn as date and time [04:08] is there a google desktop for ubuntu 7.10?? [04:08] nickrud: it happens with that too [04:08] prettyricky: I think so [04:08] nickrud monit can run commands also. if a proccess of file is not runninig? and no one can stop monit? [04:08] thechitowncubs: you sure the partition isn't mounted? [04:08] nickrud except root or admin [04:08] anyone computer locks up while watching movies on 7.10 [04:08] prettyricky: http://desktop.google.com/linux/ [04:09] thanks guys! : ) [04:09] RangdeBasanti: if it runs as a root process, only root (or admin) can stop it. And it will restart programs that have stopped, yes [04:09] pen hmm no way of knowing until you try correct? envy was the issue and now we will have to see [04:09] kdc1956: flash movies? [04:09] NativeAngels: If you change that netstat to 'netstat -ltunp' it will show all processes listening on tcp and udp ports only, including the process name. -a shows all open sockets, both network sockets and unix sockets, including open streams, which is a much longer list than the -l version. [04:09] yes [04:09] haha [04:10] kdc1956: known issue. flash freezes firefox once in awhile. [04:10] congrats on being opped by the way nickrud [04:10] ok thanks [04:10] bazhang: ok [04:10] I will try [04:10] I see download for ubuntu x86 and 64 will that work for 32? [04:10] This is my dmesg error [04:10] [ 822.804000] hda: status error: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=121746, high=0, low=121746, sector=0 [04:10] [ 822.804000] ide: failed opcode was: 0xea [04:10] [ 822.804000] hda: drive not ready for command [04:10] [ 822.804000] hda: wcache flush failed!

[04:10] shoot, sorry [04:10] bazhang: I ducked and dodged, but when I told LjL to twist my arm he said: +o or +b , my choice :) [04:10] pen once it is done then you can come back here to reconfigure x if need be [04:11] sorry about that [04:11] bazhang: ok [04:11] nickrud: hahaha [04:11] jeffMASTERflex_ ------> I see download for ubuntu x86 and 64 will that work for 32? [04:11] why is the dvd /dev/scd0 ? [04:11] prettyricky: x86 is 32 bit. [04:11] bazhang: he had to explain it to me, rflol [04:12] oh thanks! [04:12] rtorrent is perfect [04:12] thanks [04:12] haha nickrud [04:12] nickrud you therE? [04:12] RangdeBasanti: yes [04:12] d00ds whenever i go into syn. package manager now i get this error! E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [04:12] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [04:12] tdawgedogg: in a terminal, type sudo dpkg --configure -a [04:12] prettyricky: if you downloaded something that said x86_64 that's for 64 bit processors. i know naming schemes fail a lot. [04:13] can someone help me start my RAID array? I switched to ubuntu and I'm not sure how to start it back up [04:13] (software RAID 5) [04:14] rilo, did you have older azureus installed prior to installing vuze? you can get vuze running by running the shell script, but for the file associations to be moved from the old one to the new one, you said you did something? [04:14] hello, i am facing a weird connection issue here. My connection works fine other than when i try to use XChat, Pidgin (or aMsn, no difference), or synaptic. It works if I manually set the DNS - it wont work if I leave the DNS on 192.168.1.1 (my router, a dlink, has DHCP and automatic DNS enabled by deafault). Now, if I edit resolv.conf to set my DNS of choice and restart, internet wont work. Same is true if I set DNS manually on the DLi [04:14] nk. I have noticed that before returning the error message, XChat tries to connect to 1.0.0.0. What is going on? thanks :) [04:14] Yep I just realized it,, do i have to unistall it cause it gave me an error message [04:15] Newbuntu2: software raid 5? i don't believe it! [04:15] TrustNoOne: I right-clicked the torrent and changed the "open with" to Azureus [04:15] ya but i already have the older version installed right, so it opens with old version, im guessing you didnt have the old one installed, or you removed it [04:16] Stagger, when you reboot you are getting dns from dhcp, [04:16] atomicspark: Should I past my raidtab file? ;) [04:16] anyone else get an io-apic error on boot? [04:16] past [04:16] the routers as dns servers are crappy [04:16] paste [04:16] nickrud: thanks a lot man it worked ur the man [04:16] change the dns server you use in the dhcp server [04:16] Stagger: keeping your dns on your gateway works for most routers. they just forward the information on. [04:16] tdawgedogg: heh. I read the error message :) [04:16] err, firefox is crashing with this: Segmentation fault (core dumped) .. it crashes when I'm not doing anything. It's crashed 4 times in the past hour. I have a fresh install of 7.10 ... any ideas? [04:16] pfff, i have used plenty, they are unreliable [04:16] i typed it in terminal just without sudo [04:16] as dns servers [04:17] well. i use reliable routers *cough* [04:17] Stagger: you mean because the resolv.conf changes when network manager connects and tries to set it to what it thinks is right? [04:17] tdawgedogg: ah. with dpkg and apt-get , like all system commands, you need sudo [04:17] hello [04:17] hi [04:17] im gettin an error binding to a port [04:17] 8067 [04:17] but i cant see anything runing there [04:17] AtomicSpark, :) I am sure there are reliable ones, but here in Australia, the cheap d-link, netgear, etc are not so great [04:17] Stagger: you *could* "sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf" to make that file immutable. it won't be able to be changed, deleted, renamed, or have its mode (read, write, execute settings) changed. to undo it, you'd use "sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf" [04:17] foo: try deleting the .mozilla folder in your home directory and reinstalling firefox [04:18] hack alert! [04:18] macogw: yes i have used the chattr command [04:18] how can i clear port 8067 [04:18] Newbuntu2: anyways, i would advise to never run a software raid. if your software gets corrupt for any reason (your os is down) you risk losing everything, which defeats the point of raid. [04:18] Stagger: it manages to change the file again even after you chattr +i? [04:18] Newbuntu2: anyways if you used a hardware controller for it, you can just use ubuntu to set up LVM on it if you want the feature to expand in the future. [04:19] AtomicSpark, i have been using s/w raid for quite a few years with no problems [04:19] macogw: no, after that the file stays the same but connection fails completely. i wont even get through to my router [04:19] TrustNoOne: I had run apt-get remove azureus so I thought it was removed... but it apparently wasn't. I opened Azureus up through the menu, and it was the new version. Then, I noticed in Synaptic Azureus was still there, so I removed it... then the Azureus link in the menu disappeared [04:19] i have error when i turn off pc when i try turn on cant complete looding then show black screen === NEETo is now known as ubu2 [04:19] so how do i clear all the ports in ubuntu === wng-- is now known as wng- [04:19] hatter: just stating my opinion ;) [04:19] as i cant find what process is blocking it [04:19] macogw: pardon i do get to my router but not to the internet [04:19] Stagger: do you get an IP from the router? [04:19] rilo, ok so you didnt remove with synaptic then [04:20] AtomicSpark, :) Of course [04:20] macogw: yeah [04:20] TrustNoOne: nope [04:20] Stagger: can you ping your DNS servers? [04:20] how do i check that? [04:20] Stagger: ping the IP addresses you put in resolv.conf [04:20] ok [04:21] macogw: ok I will do that and be back in min [04:21] macogw: thanks :) [04:21] atomicspark: the point is for the data to survive a HDD failure rather than maintain uninterrupted uptime; the OS is on a different drive. anyway, my data is on the disks, so I need to start the raid array again. any help doing that? [04:21] I've been having trouble with getting the console resolution to stay at 1024x768. I added nvidiafb to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and un-blacklisted it... and it worked beautifully, but then X didn't. [04:21] anyone know how to remove join/quit messages in pidgin [04:22] Newbuntu2, cat /proc/mdstat shows you what state the raid is in [04:22] seracht: it's in preferences [04:22] Why does the volume panel applet always show mute when I do scroll wheel on it? [04:22] ubu2: I don't think anyone has gotten framebuffer working well on consoles in ubuntu [04:22] it's not muted but it shows mute [04:22] ubu2: anyone being me, anyway and others i've heard try [04:23] I can't find it rilo [04:23] seracht: sure; switch to xchat ;] [04:23] I used to have it working in feisty, but it seems like a lot more things are broken for me in gutsy [04:23] nickrud: ubu2 I have. took me awhile to sort out the config files, but it's "do-able" [04:23] whats the graphical crontab program called in ubuntu ? [04:23] hatter: I changed OS (went from gentoo to ubuntu); I don't know how to configure/add my drives/etc from an existing array (I just remember how to create one, but that would pave my drives) [04:23] Does anybody know where pidgin puts files that someone sends to me over im? [04:24] Newbuntu2, google mdadm, the commands arent too difficult [04:24] Hey, i can compile a .cpp in anjuta but dont let me choose build [04:24] EADG: any suggestions? [04:25] CVD-PR: do you have build-essential installed? [04:25] yes jeffMASTERflex [04:25] warriorforgod: No, not I, but if you know the name of the last sent file you can find it like this: open a terminal and type "sudo locate -u && locate lastfilesent" Dead easy :) [04:25] CVD-PR: don't know the problem then, i've never used anjuta sorry [04:25] most of the time I'll get a blinking cursor and a blank screen in the console [04:25] Stagger: hatter I don't know that there is one, but try crontab -l and crontab -e [04:25] ok [04:26] ubu2: Wasn't following the convo, what do you want to do? [04:26] EADG: I want my console to be 1024x768, the resolution of my LCD monitor [04:26] heh [04:26] I added nvidiafb to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and un-blacklisted it... and it worked beautifully, but then X didn't. [04:26] ubu2: Running Gutsy? [04:26] yes, 7.10 [04:26] usr13, thx, just found it, kcron [04:26] i cant get my resolution to 1920 by 1200 like its supposted to be i have a nvidia 7600 gt [04:27] hatter crontab -e [04:27] hatter: Cool, thanks. [04:28] Ok. Next question. When I type ifconfig in a terminal, none of the interfaces shows an ip address, however I have full internet access. [04:28] ubu2: K, Gutsy did some things ab it diffrent than previous releases in that the framebuffer is disabled by default. So what ya need to do is re-enable it. Pretty easy, but you need to edit 3 files. [04:29] ubu2: gimme a couple minutes to track down a url for you. [04:29] warriorforgod: That's interesting. Hummm, you sure? [04:29] EADG: thank you [04:29] usr13: yup [04:29] Wiered to me too. [04:30] warriorforgod: Wired network? What kind of router? [04:30] No router. Hooked directly to cable modem. [04:30] I have laptop with a 15.4" WXGA screen with a 2MP camera, how can I see if the web cam is working? Skype is not able to see it [04:30] warriorforgod, try turning off roaming mode - system -> adminstraitioon -> network [04:30] This is what I tried, and it screwed up X: http://www.savvyadmin.com/2007/12/25/console-framebuffer-in-ubuntu/ [04:30] warriorforgod: What's your ISP? [04:31] usr13: cox [04:31] hello fellows, maybe here is not the place to post this question. Bu I need help with web control panels [04:31] bazhang: are you still there? === _Wiseguy is now known as Wiseguy [04:31] I have a website which does not have cpanl [04:31] pen_: yes of course ;] [04:31] cpanel [04:31] bazhang: now after I enable the driver in manager [04:31] I know it has another control panel [04:31] bazhang: it says it cannot detect the driver [04:31] but don't remember its name [04:32] bazhang: then I'm in low resolution [04:32] cedriczg: if you rented this server, i bet it's webmin. [04:32] Does someone know another type of control panel for web hosting? [04:32] oh, that may be [04:32] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg pen [04:32] let me trty [04:32] cedriczg: there is webmin, cpanel, and plesk. [04:32] warriorforgod: PIng the router, see what it says. e.g. ping 192.168.0.1 or ping 192.168.1.1 [04:32] bazhang: and btw, I didn't go to envy and uninstall the driver first [04:33] warriorforgod: route -n [04:33] cedriczg: webmin is used for server config mostly, not for virutal hosts (shared web hosting) [04:33] bazhang: now what should I do? [04:33] usr13: There is no router. Connected directly to cable modem. [04:33] pen_: umm best to do that then [04:33] bazhang: ok [04:33] AtomicSpark, thanks [04:33] I wil try again [04:33] ebox also cedriczg [04:33] warriorforgod: Ping the modem. [04:33] warriorforgod: route -n [04:33] AtomicSpark, I trtried webmin and no answer [04:33] cedriczg: what are you trying to do? log into something?

I get a completely black screen after I hit enter on the install cd... I think this is a common problem, but im hoping theres a common fix? [04:35] Jouva: gpsdrive [04:35] AtomicSpark, for instancece I can access site.org.uy/webmail [04:35] oh and usually i get a "kernel panic: cannot sync" error if I turn off quiet boot [04:35] Jouva: at least, it looked a whole lot like Ubuntu [04:36] it was just a background [04:36] Jouva: gpsman [04:36] cyphase: Well if it didn't look like Vista it was probably Ubuntu [04:36] cedriczg: you'll have to contact your host. its different depending on what you have and how its set up. most places use just ip:port and maybe they have a domain.com/cpanel forward to that. you know you have to use https:// right? [04:36] ok with x-chat how do I remove join/part messages [04:36] I think gpsdrive is what I'd be looking for, thanks :) [04:36] it's annoying === seracht_ is now known as seracht [04:37] AtomicSpark, It seems it was /admin .

[04:39] !build-essential | AnonCon [04:39] AnonCon: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:39] rilo, what did you use for a menu icon for azureus, because i didnt install the way you did, i just put azureus folder in /bin/share and then i created a file menu for the script, and made my own file association, it seems to be working, just that the icon in the menu is the default "no icon" one [04:39] gavo can you try framebuffer=false as an entry during boot? [04:40] n8tuser: sure ill give it a go... should I add it to a regular boot command on standard res? [04:40] Okay, for some reason everything in Ubuntu is crashing all of a sudden. No sound, XChat crashes, Firefox crashes, Amarok and Exaile both crash... Even restarting X hasn't solved anything. I haven't installed anything... was just watching videos online and suddenly lost sound... [04:40] !packages > speeddemon8803 [04:40] usr13: Yep. That's what it say here ;) I won't be using it yet but I'll keep it in mind. Right now I can only think of 3 applications and one big reason why I can't and stick Linux on my laptop as well. [04:40] ubu2: I can't seem to track down one of 4 threads on the issue. Look on www.ubuntu-forum.org. [04:40] s/say/says/ [04:40] bazhang: ok [04:41] bazhang: not working [04:41] gavo during boot, you can "e" edit it for a temporary try. [04:41] !botsnack [04:41] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [04:41] Jouva: Very good! Go for it :) [04:41] TrustNoOne: actually, I wiped out all the Azureus stuff I had... copied the .deb to /usr/bin, sudo dpkg -i Azureus.... and it set it up completely. I ran it through the applications menu as it also setup the icon there and it's all good [04:41] bazhang: and if I go to the manager, it says the driver is not in use although it's checked?? [04:41] yep ill just add it to the end of the standard entries brb [04:41] thanks [04:41] usr13: That's the problem. I do have it on my desktop, but my laptop I HAVE to keep Windows on. [04:41] bazhang: but when i go to xorg.conf to check the driver [04:41] bazhang: it's nvidia [04:42] bazhang: not nv [04:42] Okay, for some reason everything in Ubuntu is crashing all of a sudden. No sound, XChat crashes, Firefox crashes, Amarok and Exaile both crash... Even restarting X hasn't solved anything. I haven't installed anything... was just watching videos online and suddenly lost sound... Anyone know how I can fix this without rebooting? [04:42] bazhang: so tell me what should I do next? [04:42] Jouva: Dual boot. How big is the drive? [04:42] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in the terminal pen [04:42] Hey all. [04:42] rilo, i didnt get the deb, i got the tar... and it WORKS i just need the icon, mind sending it to me? [04:43] nrossin: what extra repos you got in your sources list? [04:43] TrustNoOne: I thought there was some residue from the old installs so I just did it all over again... there was that Azureus script in the directory after I installed from the .deb the first time and it removed things so I didn't the second time... alright [04:43] usr13: Not big enough to dual boot really. I do some custom Windows software development for a consulting firm, so I kinda need Windows for that and need the space ;) [04:43] bazhang: Uhm, nothing out of the ordinary. I don't actually think I have ANY extra repos. [04:43] rilo, if you wouldnt mind just throwing it on megaupload or some sharing site and sending me the link, id appreciate... [04:43] Jouva: Get another drive. [04:43] bazhang: I just know that I was watching movie trailers and when I tried to watch another one, the sound didn't work... then everything started crashing. [04:43] how do I install my webcam? [04:43] nrossin: what triggered this event? what happened between when it was working and when it stopped working [04:43] usr13: For the laptop? [04:44] EADG: ah, well, I've already read as many as I can on it [04:44] * NeT_DeMoN_ hugs ubotu [04:44] bazhang: That was literally it... just a matter of moving from one website to another. [04:44] usr13: Oh a bigger one. I see. No. Can't afford it right now and don't have the urge to dual boot for the most part anyway, and would put extra space to Windows' use anyway :/ [04:44] nrossin: did you install something like awn or other? are you running compiz? have you tried disabling it if so? [04:44] bazhang: I've tried restarting X, but that hasn't helped either. [04:44] Not sure how re-hashed of a topic this is, and I've searched around, but how should I go about fixing "Unable to initialize SDL: No available video device". Anytime I launch a game (that preseumably uses the SDL libs) I get this error. [04:44] rilo, that works too, thx [04:44] bazhang: I don't use Compiz or any docks... [04:45] best dock is AWN [04:45] Jouva: Yes, get a BID drive, ghost your existing MS onto it, leave 20g or so free and then install Ubuntu on it.

It's one of the first things I did when I installed Gutsy. [04:45] back to offtopic! [04:45] is there a guide to how to install a webcam on Ubuntu? [04:46] Stagger_Lee: you cant ping the DNS servers, but you can ping the router, right? [04:46] I upgraded my kernel and now I can't boot into my ubuntu :( [04:46] AntiUSA: apart from the link I gave you? [04:46] Has anyone run into such a problem? Unable to initialize SDL: No available video device [04:46] I missed it [04:46] I am now in the livecd but i can't run fsck or anything successfully [04:46] macogw: no, if i edit resolv i cant ping the router either [04:46] sorry man [04:46] AntiUSA: I would assume typing "webcam ubuntu" into Google would give you exactly what you're looking for. [04:46] Jouva: Yea, I know what you mean. But HDs are getting little cheeper now days, so.... save up and watch for good deal. Check out the used market, etc. [04:46] could you send it again [04:46] AntiUSA: can you scroll up? [04:46] I just installed the latest sdl1.2 Debian libs and did an xhost + localhost. Still nothing.

I'm using Gnome (ubuntu gutsy) and I have items in my applications menu that I cannot delete (a warcraft game I installed through wine). I press delete and nothing happens. why cant I get rid of them? [04:47] AntiUSA: plug your webcam...if it doesnt work...go and buy one that is compatible [04:47] I tried easy cam with no luck [04:47] :D [04:47] ubu2: oops... have you checked out this page? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-652038.html [04:47] well it's the one that is part of my laptop :( [04:47] usr13: Sorry just that I have a nice big big big credit card debt I need to pay off first :) [04:47] macogw: i am confused, how can it be that changing the dns makes me unable to connect to my own router? [04:47] Stagger_Lee: why'd you edit the resolv.conf at all then? [04:47] http://www.linuxlove.org/2007/11/12/linux-webcam-microsoft-lifecam-nx-6000-on-ubuntu-and-fedora/ AntiUSA see if your cam is in this list [04:47] Exershio: Are you trying to delete them while editing the menus?

[04:48] Stagger_Lee, it cant [04:48] Stagger_Lee: im pretty confused by what's wrong with your comp, so i'm gonna go ahead and let someone else take over [04:48] usr13: Oh trust me I'd love to do it :) There's not many games I play these days so I won't have to worry about that for example. [04:48] macogw: thanks anyway [04:48] Anyone have any clue about SDL issues? Man, I feel like such a newb... [04:48] nrossin: Try restartgin the Xserver Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [04:48] usr13: I wrote that I already tried that ;) [04:48] fredmv: What's the problem? [04:49] hatter: well if i edit resolv.conf, and replace nameserver 192.168.1.1 with my own provider's DNS or OPen DNS, upon restart i cant connect to my own router [04:49] bazhang: what mouse protocal should I choose? [04:49] nrossin: I dono then, sorry.

I've tried a) installing the latest sdl1.2 Debian libs. and 2) running a xhost + localhost... but to no avail. [04:50] Man, I tell ya... I get more random crashes and things just breaking in Linux than I do with Windows... I still LOVE Linux, just wish it didn't constantly break without any changes being made. [04:50] samuel not sure what you are asking--please clarify [04:50] samuel: hello... [04:51] (first) [04:51] n8tuser: There are 3 blank entries. [04:51] n8tuser: One for root, two for me. [04:51] Stagger_Lee, when you say connect, do yuo mean open in a browser ? [04:52] you dont need to reboot when you change resolv.conf [04:52] usr13: any ideas? I searched the forum but the solutions that worked for others don't seem to be working for me. I've restarted the X-server several times too. [04:52] nrossin--> under bytes how much do they take up? [04:52] bazhang: what should I do now? [04:52] bazhang: I finished the settings [04:53] nrossin--> btw, which ubuntu version do you have? [04:53] anyways, time to go look at some bootloader screens [04:53] hi [04:53] I want to know how to update ubuntu alternatives ? [04:53] pen reboot [04:53] .abjects.net [04:53] n8tuser: root: 122880... for me: 64528 and 131072. I'm running Gutsy [04:53] bazhang: ok [04:54] Stagger_Lee--> i hope you realized that using your ISP's dns would not allow you to resolve, 192.x ip addresses right? [04:54] samuel: what is ubuntu alternatives? clarify please [04:55] n8tuser, not true [04:55] nrossin--> you can try to remove them with ipcrm, I dont know the options off hand, man ipcs, man ipcrm === choudesh_ is now known as choudesh [04:55] n8tuser: WOuldn't it be easier to just reboot? [04:55] anyone want to help me? [04:55] n8tuser: Would basically accomplish the same thing, wouldn't it? [04:56] hatter--> does your ISP address resolve 192.x.x.x addresses? [04:56] dns has one purpose, map human readable names to ip addresses [04:56] ask away UnIdiot [04:56] okay then [04:56] nrossin--> go ahead and reboot [04:56] ugh... man this is infuriating. [04:56] n8tuser: THanks [04:56] im trying to blacklist the pc speaker, it keeps on beeping in the terminal and on startup in xubuntu [04:56] bazhang: unfortunately, it's still not working [04:56] i've added it to the blacklist, but it still does it [04:56] hatter--> you did not answer me, can your ISP dns server resolve a 192.x.x.x address? [04:56] bazhang: why? [04:56] hey all i was here before... urmmm figured out my problem ... does 64bit kubuntu support Core2Duo processors? because the 32bit version is working without the black screen and kernel sync problems ive been having... [04:57] i can disable it temporarily though [04:57] pen_: what happened in the restart? [04:57] UnIdiot: in X -> xset -b [04:57] bazhang: what do you mean? [04:57] n8tuser, you are speaking of ip addresses, dns resolves names to ip addresses [04:57] bazhang: I am sorry , I don't know much about ubuntu alternatives. I just want to know how to change the jvm enviorment ? [04:57] s_unix: huh,..... I'm a linux newbie [04:57] pen what does the restricted driver now say? [04:57] hatter--> and likewise in reverse noh? you have not answered my question yet [04:57] bazhang: same thing, it's checked but say not in use [04:58] hello [04:58] I just pressed a few buttons [04:58] pen try unchecking it then rechecking it [04:58] and now my firefox is opaque! [04:58] ie, transparent [04:58] how do I stop this stuff? [04:58] its freaking me out [04:58] no an internet dns does not resolve a name to an internet non-routable address [04:58] palomer: sounds like a compiz plug in [04:58] that is not the point [04:58] bazhang: no restart between? [04:58] hatter, correct [04:58] this is a fresh install! [04:58] pen_: nay [04:59] the point is, he is trying to get to his router via an ip address [04:59] I hate to keep asking this, but does anyone know how to fix: " Unable to initialize SDL: No available video device". I've got the latest sdl1.2 libs for Debian, as well as trying a 'xhost + localhost'. Still, I get the same error... [04:59] bazhang: ok, now? [04:59] to which, dns has no part [04:59] bazhang: do I need to do any configuration? [04:59] I press shift something [04:59] or control something [04:59] pen hang on a second [04:59] hatter and if he is using the ISP dns server to resolve an ip address thats 192.x.x.x it would not work [04:59] whoa [04:59] alt-mouse wheel [04:59] hatter: i have tried restarting, but nothing has changed [04:59] UnIdiot: in term input -> xset -b -> to stop Xorg bell [04:59] hatter: I am confused! :S [04:59] ok [05:00] n8tuser, no it doesnt, but no router asks for a domain name.

[05:00] I have gnome xchat [05:00] can I remove join/part messages there [05:00] they need an ip address on the same subnet [05:00] or will that last after a reboot? [05:00] which doesnt need any dns [05:00] hatter: could it have to to with the DHCP settings? [05:00] hatter, correct, if in same subnet [05:00] stag, yes, the dhcp gives out the ip address [05:00] how can i make a different movie plaer the default one ? [05:01] alt-mousewheel can change the opacity [05:01] pretty funky [05:01] !defaultapp > ToddEDM (read the private message from ubotu) [05:01] it's gone now [05:01] EADG: thanks, I'll take a look at it. yeah, I spend a lot of time in CLI and it sucks with low res =p [05:01] s_unix: I want it completely disabled, in everything, so that it will never beep. [05:01] hatter: should I disable the DHCP? [05:01] how would i do that? [05:01] bazhang: now? [05:01] stag, so you need to make sure of two things, the dhcp server is turned on, and you havent set a static ip address on your box which os on a different subnet [05:01] bazhang: are u there? [05:01] hatter: I am sure of both [05:01] guys, for getting the best looking themes, should I search for emerald or something else? [05:01] then you should be able to ping the router [05:01] UnIdiot:you can add it to X boot srcipt [05:01] ' [05:02] and make sure youdon't have two dhcp servers on the same network [05:02] !theme | seracht [05:02] seracht: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [05:02] and how would i do that s_unix?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel.

Are you unable to acquire IP settings from the DHCP server? If so, try restarting the router, (sometimes the DHCP server wakes up after hard reset). [05:06] the highest CPU usage is from a game I was playing, but that game won't respond when I try to close it. How can I force it to close? [05:06] FourX4Luvn, you can't right click on window list... [05:06] jack-desktop: Don't right click on a window entry.. do it on the very edge of the window list [05:06] usr1: no, it's a much stanger thing [05:06] pen this may take a few minutes to resolve--best to calm down first--we will get through this [05:06] FourX4Luvn, i've been trying that, i cant ;o [05:06] * [05:06] Stag: What is it?

[05:25] Okay so when i hit the mute button on my keyboard there is a OSD that pops up showing a speaker with an X on it, and when i push volume up it also shows OSD's. However it's not the correct track on my sound card, so nothing happens. I fixed this problem by selecting preferences for the 'volume icon' on the taskbar, and changing it to 'analog front' can i change these same settings for the On Screen Displays? [05:25] Stag: If it refuses to acquire IP info, just pick an IP that is outside the DHCP's pool and set to static IP and put known to be good nameserver IPs in /etc/resolv.conf [05:25] yay, links2 -g RAWKS [05:25] the suspend its working in ubuntu? [05:25] n8tuser: i want to know if there's anything within ubuntu that's more bleeding edge than backports ? [05:25] n8tuser: werent there some commands to do it/ [05:25] Darkmystere: I know little to nothing about networkmanager [05:25] KiD_ChAoS: not really a user, just an innocent bystander but folks here seem to like both [05:25] Hello all, would anyone mind giving me a hand setting up php? [05:25] bazhang, ok [05:25] where can I get some widgets for ubuntu 7.10?? [05:25] bazhang: what shoudl I do now? [05:25] Guys, my wifi range was halved when I booted into ubuntu, I manged to fix it with iwconfig ath0 txpower 16, but I need to do that every reboot. CAn you give me a more perminant solution? [05:26] prettyricky_: with compiz or without [05:26] yell0w--> dont know, i thought you want a really bleeding edge, and i suggested those two [05:26] UnIdiot: I think it's bash. Look for .bashrc in your home folder.. If you do add "set bell-style none" to it. That should stop the speaker in the terminal.. and the other setting in gnome should stop it from any graphical programs. [05:26] ? [05:26] I currently have compiz [05:26] usr13: it usually acquires IP info no problem, except when i edit resolv.conf with my own DNS [05:26] g35c--> only vim /etc/network/interfaces [05:26] screenlets then prettyricky_ [05:26] does it matter if I have it [05:26] nickrud, Wifi-Manager doesnt work either [05:26] nickrud, *wifi-radar [05:26] UnIdiot: You'll have to log out and back in again for the change to take affect [05:26] Hello all, would anyone mind giving me a hand setting up php.. I'm trying to set up a webserver but I can't seem to tell if PHP is correctly installed [05:26] Darkmystere: I know even less abut wifi-radar :) [05:26] www.screenlets.org prettyricky_ [05:27] n8tuser: hmm ok, but i remember last time, a user here gave me some commands to do it but ill give it a try [05:27] bazhang: I will reboot then [05:27] Stage i suggest do not fool around with resolv.conf lest you really have to [05:27] cool thanks! [05:27] evening [05:27] wow you guys suck, all i had to do was go into System/Preferences/Sound thanks for nothing [05:27] Stag: Well, I dono [05:27] np [05:27] Darkmystere: If networkmanager hadn't worked for me, I might have had to learn something ;) [05:27] hammsand your welcome [05:27] nickrud, :/ iwconfig doesnt work either.... nor kwifi-manager.. [05:27] usr13: do you think reinstalling could get me out of this trouble? I have been trying to solve this for 4 days! [05:28] Darkmystere: Have you looked into wicd? [05:28] what's the normal process for an important fix to be backported from hardy to gutsy? [05:28] Stag: No [05:28] FourX4luvn, wicd? [05:28] Darkmystere: I had the same problem.. neither of those working.. nor did wpa_supplicant.. but wicd worked a treat for me on my laptop [05:28] thanks@! [05:28] usr13: so what should I do now? just restart and then pay attention to what? [05:28] Hello all, would anyone mind giving me a hand setting up php.. I'm trying to set up a webserver but I can't seem to tell if PHP is correctly installed [05:28] spowers umm time is of the essence, wait til next release? [05:28] FourX4luvn, any links? [05:28] spowers: depends on the fix, sometimes it'll show up in gutsy-backports or -updates . The dev's are very conservative about what 'important' is [05:28] my trackerd is using about 2gb of ram, and i found a bug in launchpad about it. The fix has been uploaded to hardy, but is not yet available in backports [05:30] Darkmystere: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD [05:30] FourX4luvn,nickrud, well it used to work before i tried booting Windows partion from VMware Workstation with root previlages....then everything turned read-only and then i did fsck /dev/sda5 (ubuntu partion) that fixed that but i havent been able to use networking since.. [05:30] usr13: should i restart and report dmesg to you? [05:30] nickrud: It says that the folder is not writable, i have no idea what im doing [05:30] Stag: Just check to see if it is connected properly. host av.com ; route -n ; ifconfig ; iwconfig ; ping 192.168.1.1 or ping 192.168.0.1 etc. [05:30] http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ Darkmystere also here [05:30] i tried to make a blacklist file in abiword [05:30] UnIdiot: oh, bad idea. use sudoedit [05:30] ok [05:30] bazhang, also look at what i typed for nickrud and Fourx4luvn? [05:30] usr13: thanks a lot for your help [05:31] usr13: i will try this [05:31] Stag: If host av.com returns IP info, you are connected and resolving domain names. [05:31] ok, i'll see what happens [05:31] Stag: Very good. [05:31] my firefox won't let me do "copy image" with right click...has anybody hacked through this problem. or know where the solution is on the net? [05:31] hatter: thanks for your help [05:31] nickrud: PM'd [05:32] n8tuser: thank you [05:32] i'll probably be back in 5 mins lol [05:32] caligarn1037: You mean "Save Image As"? [05:32] Stag no sweat..come back again [05:32] Err, Can some one upload the .deb...i cant access any Ubuntu install with internet meaning i cant get to synaptics.. [05:32] usr13: no, Cop image [05:32] copy image... [05:32] caligarn1037: why not just save image as [05:32] bazhang: something is wrong here [05:33] how do i keep my grub conf from losing the kernel options i pass when apt-get updates grub? [05:33] Does anyone know anything about apache [05:33] bazhang: with the addtional flag -phigh, it worked [05:33] baz [05:33] bazhang: but [05:33] pen which is why I said envy uhoh at the outset [05:33] usr13: save image is possible...it makes it a lot easier to copy image and then paste directly into, say, openoffice [05:33] caligarn1037: "Save image as..." [05:33] dibz--> umm save a file copy? [05:33] brian_ im sure someone does [05:33] bazhang: when I enable compiz, it says it need to enable nvidia driver and I reboot again [05:33] n8tuser ummm i mean without my intervention [05:33] Well, I just need to know how to set it so it receives files from my computer [05:33] bazhang: then it's not working again [05:33] usr13: i don't see, though, why this ability is lost in ubuntu [05:33] caligarn1037: i do not believe that this is possible using firefox [05:33] bazhang: why? [05:33] spowers: ive done it before though [05:33] dibz--> what is so wrong with a lil intervention? making a copy? [05:33] perhaps on windows [05:34] pen: to enable compiz try alt f2 compiz --replace [05:34] As in I access the server from firefox and I want a specific folder on my computer to be the one it goes to [05:34] caligarn1037: Highlight it with the mouse and do Ctrl-c and then Ctrl-v in openoffice [05:34] Does anyone know if Parallels is going to have Coherence for linux? [05:34] caligarn1037: Maybe on the Windows version. Closest to copy image I have is "Copy image location" [05:34] bazhang: I did that in appearance, [05:34] usr13: hm..ill try that. [05:34] bazhang: is that wrong? [05:34] bladezor: virtualbox already does something similar [05:34] n8tuser thanks , ill ask someone else , i know its possible , just cant remeber how i did it last time [05:34] caligarn1037: Which would simply copy the URL.. not the image itself [05:34] FourX4Luvn: yah...same here [05:34] FourX4Luvn: it's a bit tedious of a function [05:34] spowers, yes but virtual box does not support DirectX [05:34] pen do you have ccsm installed? [05:34] bladezor: bummer [05:34] yes [05:34] i hope firefox 3 comes up with a solution === z4w3p_ is now known as z4w3p [05:34] Firefox 3 beta 3 is amazing [05:35] firefox 3 beta? [05:35] bobby_: i pulled the nightly and tried it today... VERY fast! [05:35] totally agree with you, firefox 3 beta 3 is good [05:35] dibz--> you dont like simple solution huh? hehe [05:35] but with some glitches [05:35] nvm [05:35] ctrl-C works. [05:35] n8tuser lol [05:35] bazhang: so, should I just run compiz --replace? [05:35] usr13: thanks man [05:35] caligarn1037: caligarn1037 I do not think it is an issue with firefox. Content is offered in different ways from websites and so there are different methods of retrieving it. [05:35] I hear webkit is giving Gecko a run for it's money though [05:36] HOWEVER, i do not know of very many GTK+ or GNOME apps that support copying and pasting complex image types such as audio or images (which is strange, this has been supported by for example mac os 8 since the mid 90s) [05:36] bazhang: ? [05:36] they say the new build of Safari is EXTREMELY faST [05:36] dibz--> to me, making a cp of a menu.lst before update is quite simple..hehe [05:36] pen once you have things the way you like after the -phigh then try it that way yes [05:36] usr13: nah...i scooped around and it's certainly one limitation in the linux firefox [05:36] bazhang: ok [05:36] usr13: ctrl-c is a good work around though [05:36] n8tuser i dont want to have to do that every time i run apt-get update on many boxes [05:36] its just annoying [05:36] caligarn1037: I believe QT and KDE apps do support copying image data. That might not get you anywhere, but i'm just tossing it out there [05:36] and error prone [05:36] * nickrud will be interested in the new epiphany, it's supposed to be able to use webkit [05:37] caligarn1037: for example, you may be able to right-click an image in konqueror and paste it into ... uh, some other kde app [05:37] dibz not really, if you include this in your script, you know you have a file you can fall-back on [05:37] How in the world do you use screenlets?? Confused? [05:37] spowers: that's a bit tedious. [05:37] n8tuser ok , thanks [05:37] dibz--> i dont see how copying a file can be error prone [05:37] prettyricky_: you read their faq? [05:37] spowers: but usr13's work around is good enough for me [05:37] n8tuser you have not admined many boxes? [05:38] dibz not in the thousands only hundres [05:38] hundreds* [05:38] caligarn1037: it's a long standing issue with X framework clipboards unfortunately [05:38] then you must have a lot of spare time [05:38] especially gtk. [05:38] or no custom configurations [05:38] that you dont want hosed [05:38] I'm trying out xubuntu 8.04 alpha 3 on an old p3 with 256mb of ram and as a lark thought i might try to run compiz on it. Unfortunately apt-get couldn't find compiz-core. Are there sources I can put in so this will work? [05:38] alot of packages i try say error wrong architecture i386 in red print, is this cause i have ubuntu 64bit? [05:38] dibz someones got to do it.. [05:38] lol [05:38] how do i change my shell from fluxbox to icewm? [05:39] hey guys with Evolution, how do I remove the category (on the left) On this Computer [05:39] weex: you should ask about 8.04 on #ubuntu+1 [05:39] thanks [05:39] i have the command line version installed only right now and when i do startx it goes into fluxbox, anyway to change it to icewm? [05:39] spowers: really?...maybe it'll be solved in 8.;04? [05:39] I just want to show my e-mail accounts [05:39] caligarn1037: don't count on it. [05:39] well I extracted and it says to make install, but when I do that in the terminal it says no rule to make targer [05:39] g35c: You should have option in the login menus. [05:39] target* [05:39] caligarn1037: by long standing issue, i mean i don't think anyone's invented a fix for the problem yet. sure would like someone to prove otherwise [05:39] usr13: i have the command line version instaleld only [05:40] and i added x.org manually after installing it, but fluxbox seems to be the default [05:40] does anybody know what im saying? [05:40] caligarn1037: then again firefox may not be the best app, as it is not truly GNOME, but only ancillarily so [05:40] caligarn1037: GIMP supports copy/paste of images.. Maybe try copying an image or image segment in gimp and pasting to Openoffice? [05:40] brambo: yes, if you are running 64bit, you will have problems with 32bit software installation [05:41] there is no way around it? cuz it seems most every thing i get in .deb dont work [05:41] spowers: i did that....i've tried out most of the convenient work arounds...but i'd prefer the immediacy of this simple function.... [05:41] i got 64bit figuring it would be fast for me [05:41] g35c: startkde or startfluxbox starticewm [05:41] spowers: im patient about a fix though [05:41] faster* [05:41] caligarn1037: does it work though? [05:41] caligarn1037: i mean, between GIMP and Ooo [05:42] spowers: yah, that works fine...i think it's a firefox thing [05:42] g35c: icewm-session to start IceWM [05:42] spowers: not an ubuntu problem [05:42] brambo: you should be installing things with synaptic , rather than downloading random stuff off the net, anyway [05:42] caligarn1037: you might try grabbing a firefox 3 beta and see if you can get it working there [05:43] I've asked this before but I'm still looking for recomendations if anyone knows of any decent apps for CAD modeling. Qcad has been nice for 2D diagrams but I need 3D and Blender just isn't cutting it. [05:43] spowers: i was thinking about that...have you played around with FF3 yet? [05:43] spowers: im not sure how stable it is yet. [05:43] Can anyone tell me what I have to do to configure apache to host /home/user/public_html? [05:43] hi [05:43] yea but .deb just seems the easiest quickest way for me to install things thats why i use it..i can never get .rpm files or install anything out of a .bin file i guess im somewhat a linux noob [05:43] Brian323: sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart [05:43] i'm back [05:43] :) [05:43] usr13: are you there? [05:44] Thansk to nickrud, I am now beep free! [05:44] brambo: rpm files don't install on ubuntu at all :) [05:44] UnIdiot: yw [05:44] oooh [05:44] thanks for that [05:44] Kuroachia: I have no experience with any of these programs, so don't ask me how good they are.. but here's a list you may want to look at: http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html [05:44] g35c--> what do you have in your /usr/share/gnome/wm-properties ? [05:44] Does anyone know of a more perminant fix than iwconfig ath0 txpower 16 to fixing wifi range? [05:44] brambo: if you see something on the net you find interesting, look for it in system->admin->synaptic . 95% or better will be there, ready for installation [05:44] what are all the compatible files for ubuntu? [05:45] ooh ic [05:45] hey guys I'm not sure what's wrong [05:45] but on 1 desktop I only have 1 window open [05:45] and when I alt tab [05:45] it like shifts the alt-tab window [05:45] to the left [05:45] n8tuser: are you there? [05:45] and it isn't centered [05:45] !enter | seracht [05:45] seracht: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:45] Vulcanis--> the driver must support it, if not, you are out of luck.. iwpriv to show what it supports [05:45] i guess 64bit wasn't quite the way to go for me [05:45] StaggerLee--> yes am here [05:45] fourx4luvn: thanks, I'll take a looK! [05:46] brambo: I use 64bit myself, and get just about anything I want in synaptic [05:46] n8t: It lets me do iwconfig txpower, it just does not hold into next reboot [05:46] #join scipy [05:46] caligarn1037: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/243 [05:46] n8tuser: where can i paste the log so you can give it a look? host av.com is not good [05:46] Vulcanis--> you may be able to use postup in /etc/network/interfaces [05:46] hell, even cowsay ins in synaptic [05:47] n8t: I'm pretty new, can you help with that? [05:47] and vrms :) [05:47] Vulcanis or in the scripts directory under /etc/network [05:47] i dunno if this is the wrong question for here, but do u know of an application like winamp i can use to play online radio station? i know one site but its not a application it streams music but it dont load [05:47] brambo: streamtuner works pretty well [05:47] thats in synaptic? [05:47] Vulcanis i really cant tell you what options your driver supports, mine does nt have many options [05:47] brambo: yes [05:47] thanks [05:47] brambo: you can add radio stream to Rythmbox if that's what you're looking for [05:48] I'm looking for someone to help with troubleshooting my audio issues in wine. Anyone up for it? [05:48] caligarn1037: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2319 [05:48] !pastebin > StaggerLee--> [05:48] n8tuser: i pasted it here http://rafb.net/p/oDYsCg35.html [05:48] !pastebin [05:48] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [05:48] hello [05:48] i have some question [05:48] is there a keylogger type program for linux like whatpulse? [05:49] how can i get " mms://211.233.92.66/aod_new/1radio/plus_20080220.wma " [05:49] n8tuser: here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56815/ :) [05:49] StaggerLee--> i didnt spot any issues with the 1st paste you had [05:49] kozazz: vlc or mplayer [05:50] usr13 : i try mplayer but ... [05:50] n8tuser: really? how about ;; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet. [05:50] ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached [05:50] kozazz: It play fine in totem too. (on my box if I go to this URL by default it launch totem) [05:50] StaggerLee--> nor the second, and what is the issue? [05:50] I have no audio in any applications run with wine, but audio works perfectly natively. When I run winecfg, I get "ALSA lib ../../src/conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0" and "ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default:0" from the command line. Any attempt to mess with audio settings in the audio tab of winecfg results in an "Audio test failed!" dialog box.

[05:51] StaggerLee--> it resolved google.com for you, [05:51] I am a huge fan of the update-manager tray icon and system for getting updates. Is there a version I can deploy on my servers? I'm talking specifically about its ability to automatically install security updates without confirmation. [05:52] n8tuser: indeed. and it makes sense, i am always able to browse the internet. i am confused [05:52] hi, is it possible to put an application in start up in a certain desktop?

[05:52] is there a shortcut to open a terminal in fluxbox? [05:52] brambo: What are you tryint to play? [05:52] usr13: do you have time to give my log a look? http://rafb.net/p/oDYsCg35.html [05:52] Shoutcast [05:52] n8t: What were the commands again? I'm sorry, I was running mirc through wine and it decided to die [05:52] .977 hits [05:53] brambo: sent url [05:53] n8tuser: yes, but still i could not enter Xchat or pidgin until i edited the DNJS [05:53] DNS [05:53] i did startx and i get a blue background and with "one" in the bottom left corner, but i have no icons and cant open a s hell [05:53] brambo: sudo apt-get install xmms [05:53] bueno c ya later [05:53] Vulcanis--> you may be able to use postup in /etc/network/interfaces..man interfaces === dibz is now known as BigDaddy1 [05:54] brambo: or in the package manager if you prefer... just install xmms and it'll will work :) === BigDaddy1 is now known as mohadib [05:54] StaggerLee--> which file you have to edit? [05:54] StaggerLee: Your wireless connection appears to be working ok. [05:55] StaggerLee: try dhcpclient [05:55] usr13: so you guys have do not have an idea why this is happening to me? [05:55] StaggerLee--> i dont have a grasp of what the issue is yet [05:56] anyway shortcut keys to open a shell from fluxbox? [05:56] StaggerLee: What nameservers are you using? [05:56] <[chr0n0s]> how do i stop gnome to show those huge previews for pdf files/images ? [05:56] bazhang: I think I found the reason [05:56] n8user: I was here before as Stag, sorry guys maybe you did not recognize me? [05:56] bazhang: right now I still can't get it to work [05:56] pen what was it [05:56] What programs use or evaluate the contents of the file /var/log/udev? [05:56] bazhang: but I think maybe because I recently upgrade some libs for the new evince [05:56] bazhang: I went to packages.ubuntu [05:56] StaggerLee--> i asked you which file you have to modify? [05:57] yes install that worked thank u [05:57] music ) [05:57] :) [05:57] bazhang: and I upgrade some libgtk libglib libpango etc [05:57] pen how did you upgrade them? outside of ubuntu apt? [05:57] bazhang: they are in hardy [05:57] anyay to open a shell via a shortcut or someway in fluxbox? [05:57] bazhang: and they remove all the dev files [05:57] pen aha [05:57] bazhang: yea [05:57] bazhang: that's why it's acting weird [05:57] i go to manual config in the connection manager, DNS tab, enter my provider's DNS [05:57] pen that and envy would seem to be it then [05:57] bazhang: why envy? [05:58] there is a new firefox? [05:58] bazhang: this has nothing to do with envy [05:58] brambo: No problem :) A small trick: when you have a error message paste it into google (with Ubuntu for exemple) and you have a good chance to get your anwser [05:58] bazhang: just my mistake [05:58] StaggerLee: What nameservers are you using? [05:58] n8tuser: and remove 192.168.1.1 [05:58] aah thanks [05:58] bazhang: now I'm just asking how to downgrade [05:58] bazhang: so I can get all the packages back? [05:58] i think i will leave this window open very often alot of tips thx [05:58] usr13: 195.210.91.100 [05:58] ok, I'm trying to install an application from source, when running ./configure, several .h files that are definitely installed aren't being found...I'm trying to figure out what directories are actually being searched....anyone have any ideas? [05:58] usr13: and 193.70.192.25 [05:58] pen, why all packages? [05:59] pen you have done so much customization with the hardy libs and envy I am not sure how you can get back [05:59] ploom: I want to downgrade some packages [05:59] pen, usually its easier to fix them and install new versions ;-) [05:59] bazhang: easy, just downgrade the libs [05:59] usr13: do you know if there is a way to open a shell via a shortcut of some sort in fluxbox, i have no icons in my fluxbox desktop and i dont know how to open a shell. [05:59] ploom: but with the new packages, they conflict with the dev files [05:59] StaggerLee: Verify your nameservers. Plug them in one at a time and do host av.com or host yahoo.com or host google.com and verify that each one is resolving domain names. [06:00] pen, anyways - aptitude is my friend in doing just that [06:00] StaggerLee--> paste into pastebin the contents of your /etc/nsswitch.conf [06:00] pen then have at it; but that kind of customization is just what this channel abhors and often leads to troubles like your own [06:00] . [06:00] how to "make, make install" debian way? [06:00] bazhang: so how do I downgrade packages? [06:00] StaggerLee: See how fast they resolve a domain name for you. One may be responding very slow. The fastest one should be first in the list. [06:00] pen, it provides nice suggestions to choose from - even when downgrading [06:00] what should i type in ploom [06:01] njol--> no difference to others, if you have the Makefile and the targets for it [06:01] StaggerLee: Try using the router's IP address. (Most routers have caching name server enabled, and if it is not, enable it, and use it for primary nameserver.) [06:01] usr13: i get the problems when i use the autodetected dns, when i use the one i told you i am fine [06:01] n8tuser: do you know if there is a way to open a shell via a shortcut of some sort in fluxbox, i have no icons in my fluxbox desktop and i dont know how to open a shell. [06:01] ubu2: i figured out the framebuffer issue if you haven't already [06:01] StaggerLee: nameserver 192.168.1.1 [06:02] does anyone know the boot option to disable bluetooth? [06:02] g35c--> am not familiar with fluxbox, btw what shows up in /usr/share/gnome/ [06:02] usr13: yes, it is when i use 192.168.1.1 as nameserver for dns that i cant connect to xchat, pidgin or synaptic repositories [06:02] StaggerLee: If one of the nameservers is slow or un-reliable, report it to your ISP and ask for an alternative. [06:02] z3x: go to System/Administration/Services and disable it [06:02] StaggerLee--> you dont connect to xchat, you connect to the irc servers [06:02] jeffMASTERflex: EADG gave me this link and it worked! http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-652038.html [06:02] I'd love to jeffMASTERflex, but I can't get it to boot in the first place [06:03] !pinning | pen [06:03] pen: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [06:03] Hm, hopefully it won't lag horribly this time [06:03] StaggerLee: See that the router's caching nameserver is turned on. And that it has the fastest, most reliable nameserver at top of it's list.) [06:03] finally kicking butt in the CLI [06:03] thus the request for the boot param [06:03] Flannel: I think I will use aptitude for now [06:03] pen: Depending on what all you've done, it may be faster to backup and reinstall. [06:03] n8tuser: sorry! i cant connect to irc servers [06:03] Flannel: reinstall??? [06:03] anybody know what this means? sh: 2/DOOM: not found [06:03] LoadPlugin: /usr/lib/libdpdehread [06:03] LoadPlugin: /usr/lib/libdpmapload [06:03] Flannel: envy and hardy libs [06:03] StaggerLee: Check the router's WAN settings. [06:03] what no ubuntu ps3 channel? [06:04] !envy [06:04] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [06:04] StaggerLee--> what exact errors were you getting? [06:04] ubu2: cool, i solved it independently, it just took uncommenting some modules and adding them to initram. i wish i didn't have such an awkward resolution though, 1024 X 768 doesn'tdo it for me [06:04] pen: envy and a partial upgrade are rather odd and potentially dangerous (well, for stability anyway) experiments [06:04] Flannel, ok I will avoid envy from now on, maybe :S [06:05] is there any better messenger but gaim which i cant get to work, and pidgin, any yahoo messenger for ubuntu so i can use webcam etc? [06:05] I tried envy and it locked up my system, had to reinstall ubuntu [06:05] n8tuser: i get Tcl plugin for XChat - Version 1.62 [06:05] Copyright 2002-2005 Daniel P.

[06:08] np thanks for help [06:08] n8tuser: pretty easy to follow. you have to reformat your ps3 though to make room. so you have to back up all your saved stuff (i was too lazy).

[06:23] presumptious85: do you have a link to the instructions? [06:23] !alt [06:23] 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 [06:23] !alt [06:23] xUFOx--> tried removing the splash ? [06:23] thats deleting the 'splash' from that command line right? [06:23] if so, yes [06:24] !minimal [06:24] 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 [06:24] ahh..ill try that out..thanks!

[06:27] !cron | syndr0 [06:27] syndr0: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[06:30] i try mplayer , totem but i didn't work [06:30] TrustNoOne: If you want an IRC client that supports scripting, aliases, popups, etc.. like mirc, check out x-chat if you haven't. It's pretty much the *NIX version of mirc [06:30] Wierd issue: xorg wont start, unless I go into failsafe, load gdm, restart, then it goes for 1 boot, then broken again. what could be causing this? [06:30] does anyone know the boot param to disable bluetooth? I can't get the live cd to boot past it [06:31] anyone wanna take a stab at why md5.h is present but cannot be compiled?

[06:31] !netsplit [06:31] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [06:32] thanks alot z3x [06:32] n8tuser: i am back. cannot connect to irc.undernet.org either.

[06:39] brambo: you may have to open some repositories [06:41] n8tuser: nope, wont connect to freenode either. it tries to connect to irc.freenode.net (1.0.0.0), on port 6667. Nothing happens until i am told connection has timed out. it tries again and times out again, ad lib [06:41] forgive me im sorta new i dunno what u mean open some repositories [06:41] what do you guys think of hubackup?

[06:42] jewsus_ you probably need to replace it by the other version (open vs restriscted, someone correct me if I'm wrong) [06:43] Where can I find the other version? [06:43] brambo: then go to the updates tab, and check unsupported updates (backports) [06:43] i have a dell inspiron 1100 that i finally got working (ubuntu does not correctly detect its video card) .. but now ubuntu starts up, and gdm starts up, and everything is fine - until i use it for a few minutes, start a few programs etc. then the whole xserver becomes so slow not even the mouse pointer can move without hacking. does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong? [06:43] brambo: then close it and press reload [06:43] jewsus_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=679500 [06:44] brambo: then back in teh terminal, do the same, and you should have -granparadiso [06:44] thanks for the link luisa [06:44] the video card is particularly crappy, with no ram memory of its own, rather it shares the machines memory. but the thing is windows xp can handle this alright, so i was hoping and assuming ubuntu could too [06:44] paltermalte might want to check that link too [06:44] What programs utilize or evaluate the contents of the file /var/log/udev for what purpose? [06:45] ah its getting it now thanks all [06:45] luisa: hmm, xgl, don't think that is enabled as it is [06:46] hello all [06:46] !gdm [06:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:46] the new firefox over writes the old one? [06:46] lol [06:46] paltemalte, what video card and how much ram are you using? [06:46] no [06:46] z3x, u still here? [06:47] bullgared4 udev is the device manager for the Linux 2.6 kernel series. Its primary function is managing device nodes in /dev. BASICALLY it tells your computer your hardware. Basically :P [06:47] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev [06:47] ol_dude67: its a an inte 82845G/GL, and i can set the amount of ram it can use with VideoRam (actually i must set it) [06:47] brambo: no [06:47] !it [06:47] ol_dude67: it seems to work the longest when i use exactly 64 mb [06:47] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [06:47] ol_dude67: which is the recommended level too, when having 256 mb in total [06:48] does anyone know how to install ubuntu on a computer with nvidia graphics? [06:48] luisa: I know already what you have told me. My question was more specific and not general. [06:48] i have the first try i hav nvidia graphics [06:48] paltemalte, the problem is i think that you need at least 256 to run ubuntu as well not including the video how much swap? [06:49] i run a intel 945gz at 64 and it is good but i have over a gig of ram [06:49] ol_dude67: i never got the opportunity to set the swap size i don't think, but it doesn't seem to start using the swap anyways [06:50] musikgoat [06:50] i dont see a difference is the new firefox any different looking? [06:50] yes? [06:50] ol_dude67: i didn't realize ubuntu required that much ram, but if that is the case, then i might as well stop trying now :p [06:50] paltemalte, try using the xubuntu instead. [06:50] less ram required [06:50] u were trying to help me out earlier [06:50] but my lights went off [06:50] ol_dude67: oh yeah? i'll check it out [06:51] so here is the site again http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/faq/support_faq_hvr1600.html#3 [06:51] brambo: the graphics of beta 2 are not different (at least in ubuntu currently, i haven't looked into why), but are on windows [06:51] paltemalte, its the same with windows now, if your running vista with that amount your going to go real slow as well. [06:51] brambo: but its MUCH speedier [06:51] I just installed Ubuntu from Vista. I didn't back anything up and don't even have a windows back up CD. What I Want to know is how can I get back to Vista, my biggest fear is that ubuntu formated my HDD and installed itself. I've tried using the boot menu then hard drive boot but all that comes up is Ubuntu which I currently don't want. [06:52] and i saved the file to be extracted in my documents folder [06:52] presumptious85: yes, I remember, did you follow the commands I told you? [06:52] can anyone help me with getting a generic laptop webcam to work? I will pay you $10!!! maybe even more [06:52] how can i tell its installed right? [06:52] i open the browser all seems same [06:52] cd document [06:52] brambo: go to Help -> About [06:52] presumptious85: not quite [06:52] aperson, what type of computer? [06:52] ah version 2 okay [06:52] presumptious85: cd Documents [06:53] ol_dude67: oh yeah no doubt with vista .. i was still hoping i could squeeze ubuntu onto this old machine though. it belongs to a friend of mine, and she thought ubuntu looked cool on my other machine [06:53] ok [06:53] Umm it's a HP media center, not sure what model. [06:53] aperson, unless you manually partitioned your hard drive (shrunk the vista partition and installed ubuntu on a new partition you created), you're data's gone from everything but something a data recovery service could recover [06:53] presumptious85: did you register? it would be easier to follow along by PM [06:53] is there a way to save all pref. and internet bookmarks and EVERYTHING on a cd? i already have aptoncd. [06:53] paltemalte, try xubuntu [06:53] your* [06:53] yeaa i think i did [06:53] is there a way to save all pref. and internet bookmarks and EVERYTHING on a cd? i already have aptoncd. [06:53] register [06:53] aperson, try hitting f10 when booting [06:54] ol_dude67: just trying to find some sort of requirements page for xubuntu .. something that tells you the recommended amount of ram etc. you wouldn't happen to know about a such page? [06:54] I believe I've tried that [06:54] Anyone know how to get around this: [06:54] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gtk2.0-examples: [06:54] gtk2.0-examples depends on libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.12.0-1ubuntu3.1); however: [06:54] Version of libgtk2.0-0 on system is 2.12.0-1ubuntu3. [06:54] aperson, unless you manually partitioned your hard drive (shrunk the vista partition and installed ubuntu on a new partition you created), you're data's gone from everything but something a data recovery service could recover-----------So I'm screwed? Great I hate Ubuntu now. [06:54] paltemalte, try going to ubuntu and in search type in xubuntu [06:54] Lost windows borders in gnome after uninstalling default compiz packages can someone guide me how to make it ok again? I have to use metacity --repalce at each boot, tried to make it automatic but could't. Adding it to startup does not work, adding it to /home/.bashrc did not worked plz tell me some solution [06:54] aperson, call dell cause they will have to help you. [06:55] i hope its new [06:55] My computer isn't a dell... [06:55] is there a way to save all pref. and internet bookmarks and EVERYTHING on a cd? i already have aptoncd.

[06:57] how do i use b43-fwcutter-009.tar.bz2? [06:57] I know, I just noticed. Anyway, make a SH file with #/bin/bash (newline) metacity replace & (end of file) make it executable then add it to your Session so it loads each time you log in [06:57] mysterioso, tar -xvf ur.tar.bz2 [06:57] I'd figure it've warned me that it would format my HDD [06:57] lol [06:57] lutz im sorry?

So here I go again [07:14] im gettin better though [07:14] GOODNIGHT [07:14] practise makes perfect or insane :) [07:14] can you go to synaptic and fix any broken packages? [07:14] Josh Im at an SSH console [07:15] does it support Xsessions? [07:15] arooni-mobile: (testing this on spare computer with fresh ubuntu install) I believe just installing VLC player install alll those codecs [07:15] no [07:15] ah [07:15] I dont have local console [07:15] I just have SSH [07:15] are you physically on the computer in question? [07:15] luisa, i already have VLC player installed... btw it WAS working before but is no longer working :( [07:16] Eek! [07:16] JoshuaRL [07:16] JoshuaRL nope [07:16] i just installed xubuntu-desktop on an ubuntu machine. can anyone tell me how i start x using xfce from xubuntu instead of gdm at boot? [07:16] err, you might be able to fix more if you were there. [07:16] not to sound insulting or anything :) [07:16] JoshRL I should be able to fix everything console [07:17] paltemalte: completely different concepts, you'll still launch gdm, just go to the menu there and select xfce as your session [07:17] Daisuke_Ido: ah.. i thought gdm was a gnome manager or something? [07:17] привет всем [07:17] in theory, but i've been able to fix stuff with synaptic that I couldn't fix from the terminal === u^A is now known as allbert [07:18] #xchat [07:18] it's the gnome display manager, but its job is to launch whatever the selected session is. i use gdm to launch gnome, kde, xfce, enlightenment, and fluxbox :D [07:18] Josh it uninstalled openssh-server so I cant even do ssh forwarding [07:18] otherwise I would forward [07:18] wow [07:19] are you trying to fix someone else's computer? [07:19] Daisuke_Ido: oh, wasn't aware of that .. can i make it default into starting xfce then? [07:19] 512 = 64kbps download [07:19] ? [07:19] Daisuke_Ido: or do i have to uninstall the ubuntu-desktop for that? [07:19] JoshRL yes [07:19] ah [07:19] one second paltemalte [07:20] Daisuke_Ido: right now its defaulting into the gnome desktop, so i presume making it do the opposite should be possible :) [07:20] paltemalte: no, just select "session" and choose xfce -- it'll ask you if you want to have xfce as default [07:20] when you login use Sessions to change to XFCE and just change it to default [07:20] yep! when you select xfce, it will ask if you want to make it your default choice or just for that session [07:20] ha [07:20] JoshuaRL:ah, thanks! [07:20] make it the default and you're all set [07:20] in triplicate [07:20] heh [07:20] thanks guys, very helpful [07:20] 512kbits/s divided by 8 = 64k/bytes/s CVD-PR [07:20] okay rkirani, can you email or write down the steps for them to fix from synaptic? [07:21] I have a dual boot setup on my laptop, gutsy and XP. I want my xp hdd (ntfs) to automatically be mounted every time I log in to ubuntu. How can I get that done? [07:21] ok [07:21] :) [07:22] How do I download source files from a CVS repository? [07:22] theTrav, you can write it in ur /etc/fstab [07:22] I tried svn checkout, it did not work. I pointed it to the directory of listed files. [07:22] On sourceforge.net [07:23] what possible reasons could there be for hibernate not working on a laptop? [07:23] moveaxl: what does that mean? [07:24] theTrav, in the /etc/fstab are the devices which are automaticly mounted on startup [07:24] ok, so there's an fstab file in the etc folder with a list of devices [07:25] how do I find out what to put in there? [07:25] normally when I mount ubuntu just works it out for me [07:27] theTrav, one moment [07:27] theTrav: google for fstab, i guess -- that, and read the "mount" man page [07:27] i love my sexy desktop, i want to make love to it [07:28] ha [07:28] welcome to linux [07:28] bah [07:28] theTrav, the syntax is like this "/dev/sda7 /media/Windows ntfs-3g defaults,users 0 0" [07:28] Mine would be great if only i could install that mac/global menu thingy :( :( :( [07:28] theTrav, to find the right values try "cat /etc/mtab" [07:28] TrustNoOne: congratulation [07:28] it took me 4 days to install everything, like going through all these themes and icon packs and boot and login screens and stuff till i found the hottest ones [07:28] theTrav, in the mtab are the currently mounted devices [07:29] the only thing that would be hotter is if i installed gentoo [07:29] or LFS [07:29] i want to suggest an emergent action on kubuntu's official website: put a note there advising east asian prospective users to "download ubuntu instead and then install the kubuntu-desktop package, because installing kubuntu directly will not get them input methods." [07:29] anyways someone said mIRC sucks on linux, im using it right now and its flawless sooo... [07:29] TrustNoOne: yeah, but then you'd still be compiling gnome by now ;-) (just kidding) [07:29] whys that yao_ziyuan? [07:29] hello [07:30] haha thats true ynef [07:30] JoshuaRL: see "because" [07:30] ya probably, gentoo is way harder/longer to install than most other distros [07:30] TrustNoOne, i think x-chat is better [07:30] TrustNoOne: why not use a native client? [07:30] also my laptop graphics card doesnt like a lot of distros, many wont install properly [07:30] does anyone know the boot param to disable bluetooth? I can't get the live cd to boot past it [07:30] umm cuz i like the mIRC color schemes [07:30] TrustNoOne, why dont use a open source client? [07:30] xchat, irssi, konversation, kvirc... [07:30] uh... [07:30] xchat is nice yess [07:30] you can use those colours anywhere. it's configurable in *every* irc client i've ever seen [07:30] like with mIRC on full screen everything is black with neon text, i like it more [07:30] TrustNoOne: i don't really remember it being hard to install as much as being time consuming. especially when KDE or whatever had a new minor update, and I'd sit there emerging world for a day... ;-) [07:30] hi im mexican! [07:31] ya i tried xchat but only main chat window you can change color [07:31] somebody!! [07:31] cant change it for list or the rest of the client (that i found) [07:31] yiu can have mirc on linux via wine, but why bother with that client? [07:31] hey ned [07:31] i dunnos i like mirc [07:31] TrustNoOne: if you don't mind kde apps, try konversation [07:31] reminds me of dos [07:31] ynef: only those hwo likes to mess a lot [07:31] when you can have irssi or xcha [07:31] xchat* [07:31] i dont use kde [07:31] mirc reminds you of dos? [07:31] or kde aps [07:31] ok, so I just copy the right line from mtab to fstab? [07:31] lol i dunno [07:31] I hate kde [07:32] try irssi then [07:32] ya gnome is better [07:32] !offtopic [07:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:32] TrustNoOne, i have xchat and my main chat, server list and nick list are all in color [07:32] white_eagle: lovely, i was just making a suggestion. [07:32] theTrav, try it, i can't see ur files from here [07:32] yeah but it doesnt have global menu bar :( [07:32] Daisuke_Ido: of what [07:32] I didn't catch up [07:32] oh sorry yao_ziyuan, didn't understand it [07:32] ya well i couldnt find the option to change all the color schemes, i only find the one for main window under preferences < colors [07:32] ok it's got a whole heap of comma separated things in there [07:33] white_eagle: then why did you throw out the offtopic? it was perfectly ontopic (except for the expected kde-hating zealotry) [07:33] you mean all east asian languages or just one?

[07:33] TrustNoOne, i'm pretty sure thats where i changed mine, all 3 sections have the same color scheme [07:33] Daisuke_Ido: yeah, I was reminding myself [07:33] sn00zer, im in xchat, how do i change the color schemes for everything including menu and server list [07:33] it was for me [07:33] * Daisuke_Ido nods [07:33] JoshuaRL: input of all east asian languages is via scim, and scim isn't correctly set up in kubuntu [07:33] get it? [07:33] I think so [07:34] fair enough [07:34] oh well i changed my color scheme there and it only changed main window [07:34] i ran cat mtab before and after mounting it [07:34] and that was the only new line [07:34] wow, you should definitely file an urgent bug report yao_ziyuan [07:34] Daisuke_Ido: I do repeat that I hate kde often, and its better for me to remind myself ;) [07:34] what is the main difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu? [07:34] when u mount it and do "cat /etc/mtab" have it the same media folder like in the gui [07:34] brambo: Ubuntu uses gnome kbuntu uses kde [07:35] xubuntu uses xfce [07:35] anyone knows how to change channel ? i forgot? [07:35] is one better then the other or? [07:35] !kubuntu | brambo [07:35] brambo: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [07:35] join #xubuntu [07:35] Smacky, i changed the foreground and background colors under the text colors section in settings -> preferences -> colors [07:35] brambo: its all about wishes [07:35] i personally like gnome better [07:35] moveaxl: sorry I don't quite understand that "have it the same media folder like in the gui" [07:35] but some find kde to be nicer [07:35] fluxbox ftw [07:35] got it [07:36] are you asking if it's mounted properly? [07:36] and some like xfce because its fast [07:36] oh so not much difference except appearance? [07:36] sn00zer, so did i, but only the main chat window changes color, not the side windows [07:36] brambo: no [07:36] it's mounted to media/disk [07:36] brambo: its still linux [07:36] ;) [07:36] Smacky, i think i had to restart xchat too [07:36] :) [07:36] yeah, it all comes down to whatever you're comfortable with. there are a LOT of differences [07:36] theTrav, yes when it is mounted the windows partition have the same folder in mtab and in the graphical filemanager? i mean /media/ [07:36] i wonder if its worth trying the live CD [07:36] !KDE | brambo [07:36] brambo: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [07:36] kde this thing about being infinitely configurable with all the options right there all the time [07:36] Hi I have a problem: I want to use a debdiff file, any idea? [07:37] brambo: are you on ubuntu right now? [07:37] yeah [07:37] ubuntu gutsy 7.10 [07:37] does anyone know the boot param to disable bluetooth? I can't get the live cd to boot past it [07:37] sn00zer, since changing the colors i ahve rebooted my machine [07:37] JoshuaRL: i did [07:37] brambo: if you like KDE type into terminal sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [07:37] JoshuaRL: kubuntu devel hasn't been able to solve it [07:38] moveaxl yeah it's media/disk [07:38] oh it will change my desktop? [07:38] Smacky, i have this uberscript plugin, maybe thats the difference? [07:38] log off, press F10 on your keyboard, and choose the KDE session [07:38] thanks for your help moveaxl [07:38] brambo: no [07:38] theTrav, it works? [07:38] brambo: you will have to log off [07:38] dunno I'd have to re-start to test that wouldn't I? [07:38] and do that what I told you above [07:38] sn00zer, ya i only have the native software, no plugin [07:38] theTrav [07:38] i thought so [07:38] does anyone know the boot param to disable bluetooth? I can't get the live cd to boot past it [07:38] theTrav, no "umount -a" and "mount -a" [07:39] theTrav, as root [07:39] sn00zer, i guess i was just hoping for it to work *out of the box* without configuring plugins, im lazy like that... [07:39] that unmounts and then mounts the file systems? === _Kwitschibo is now known as Kwitschibo [07:39] well i have 3mb dsl gonna be a little bit [07:39] brambo: and if you want to try out xfce, do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop , xfce is based on gnome but its very much lighter than it, and some preffer it because it gives them more speed [07:39] heh, my devices are busy [07:39] theTrav, yes all filesystems in the /etc/fstab [07:40] im looking for cooler looking to speed really [07:40] yao_ziyuan: okay, thanks for the info. [07:40] Smacky, i have xchat on another box w/o the plugin, i'll check that really quick and see if it changes all the areas [07:40] looks, is mainly because you can change the looks immediately [07:40] oops. [07:40] theTrav, have it mounted the windows device? [07:40] hmm... it unmounted it, but didn't re mount it [07:40] said mount point /media/disk does not exist [07:40] the main advantage on linux over win is in the looks, is mainly because you can change the looks immediately [07:41] mkdir /media/disk [07:41] terminal is asking for Kubuntu 7.0 Gutsy CD [07:41] i only have Ubuntu disc [07:41] white_eagle: and because you don't have to reboot after a minor update to a minor program -_- [07:41] a pet peeve of mine [07:41] sn00zer, if it doesnt work on your other box, could you send me that plugin or tell me where to get it? [07:41] brambo, are u trying to use apt? [07:41] yeah i blieve so [07:41] hmm, got mount: wrong fs type, etc [07:41] believe* [07:42] Daisuke_Ido: yeah [07:42] didn't like the mount [07:42] yeah, remove the cd from the repositories [07:42] does anyone know the boot param to disable bluetooth? I can't get the live cd to boot past it [07:42] i put sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [07:42] theTrav, ahh sry, "/dev/sda7 /media/Windows ntfs-3g defaults,users 0 0" only change the devices and the mount point [07:42] !wanda [07:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about wanda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:42] brambo: yeah [07:42] and [07:43] keeps asking for Kubuntu CD [07:43] brambo, have u changed ur /etc/apt/sources.list? [07:43] im not sure what you mean [07:43] brambo, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [07:43] !fortune [07:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about fortune - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:43] ah [07:44] ;) [07:44] and put a # for the line with the cdrom [07:44] moveaxl: sorry, only change the devices and the mount point? what's that about? [07:44] does anyone know the boot param to disable bluetooth? I can't get the live cd to boot past it [07:44] brambo: go to system/administration/software sources [07:44] wait a minute its doing something now....hm [07:44] its downloading stuff [07:44] oh [07:44] oktthen [07:44] theTrav, sry, the mountpoint is the /media/something directory [07:44] bye guys [07:44] see ya eagle [07:45] theTrav, and u said ur win devices is /dev/sda1 [07:45] ive been playing around with gnome [07:45] ahh ok [07:45] and somehow managed to screw up nautilus i think. when i log out or reboot nautilus either crashes or isnt starting so i have to manually start it each time. === Col is now known as Colonel_Panic [07:46] ok, so maybe that worked... [07:46] which is the cooler looking one, Kubuntu or Xubuntu ? [07:46] xubuntu [07:46] actually... no now it's coming up as /media/disk-1 [07:46] Smacky, it only changes the main... http://digdilem.org/irc/index.cgi?entry=2130779227 [07:46] so I'm guessing that's still ubuntu just working it out for me :/ [07:47] i believe its getting Kubuntu.. [07:47] because it's probably cached my admin password now [07:47] its downloading stuff can i cancel it/close it? [07:47] i tried making sure nautilus is in my current session and it still doesnt load my desktop when i boot [07:47] theTrav, hmm, normally this is the right way [07:47] Smacky, that comes with a whole bunch of annoying things too, so check out all the options and disable most of it before going into channels or you might be kicked or banned [07:47] sn00zer, i instaled uberscript but nothing changes with the color scheme, and i dont see extra options for it [07:48] so there wouldn't be a GUI way of configuring this now would it? [07:48] Smacky, it has things like random away/join/part messages and other crap [07:48] because it strikes me as something people would generally want to do [07:48] especially new ubuntu adopters [07:48] hmm [07:48] well if i cant change the colors im going to not use xchat anyway [07:48] :p [07:49] can i try Kubuntu desktop then try Xubuntu later? [07:49] Smacky, it added three menu drop downs for me "system" "uberscript" and "favorites" [07:49] yup [07:49] theTrav, good idea, after school i try it with perl/tk === |john| is now known as Colonel [07:50] umm maybe a noob question here....Default display manager, gdm or kdm ? [07:50] forgive me i am sleepy.... [07:50] what u want to brambo [07:50] Smacky: i was using xchat for a bit [07:50] hi peeps [07:50] but ive since tried irssi which imo is pretty good [07:51] oh its Gnome etc? === Colonel is now known as Colonel_Panic [07:51] gnome for ubuntu - brambo [07:51] prohna, ya? well i think ill stick to mIRC until I find another native open source client that lets me change the skins and colors to look more like mIRC, the white hurts me eyes :p [07:51] gdm is from gnome kdm from kde [07:51] hi - I just did an aptitude install kubuntu-desktop that seems to have broken my aptitude. it refuses to install anythin g until i run a dpkg--reconfigre -a, which i did twice. and answered _all_ those questions over and over [07:51] i mean gdm or kdm...wats difference? [07:51] you can change the colors on xchat [07:52] its in there somewhere [07:52] brambo, hmm, it have other looks [07:52] mine was black with white text [07:52] any 1 know where i can get dj drops and voice overs [07:52] which is better looking? [07:52] so anyone know why nautilus crashes for me everytime i boot? [07:52] prohna, yeah thats just for main window, not the skin or side panels, user list or server list windows [07:52] brambo, both do the same job - just look different - kdm comes with kubuntu [07:52] if i have a 7200 rpm with 8 mb buffer 80 gb hdd on my laptop, which one of these is recommended: an external hdd with 16mb buffer, 7200 rpm and 500 gb or the same thing with 8mb buffer? [07:52] so gdm is Xubuntu? [07:53] fuzzy, depends what u use it for [07:53] xubuntu dont have it own login manager [07:53] brambo, gdm is the gnome one - ubuntu [07:53] 7200rpm for laptop is great, normally its 5400 or 4200 [07:54] Smacky: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/proananhgh/Screenshot-1.png [07:54] yeah ... but what about that externel hdd === max411 is now known as max` [07:54] should i choose the 8mb version [07:54] my irssi is easy on the eyes [07:54] or the 16 mb version [07:54] fuzzy, if you want the hard drive for storage get the 500gb one, as the buffer wont be as important, but both are still great hard drives because of the 7200rpm, so i would probably go with 500 gb [07:54] hi there after modifying sysctl.conf do I have to restart the system for it to read it? [07:55] prohna, thats too simplistic of a client [07:55] prohna, you just have the main window there [07:55] i search the name for a programm like 'norton commander' for ubuntu. can somebody help me? [07:55] pavs: yep [07:55] everything is in terminal [07:55] i have 2 windows right now [07:55] prohna, whats the name of the dock in that screenshot? [07:55] server and this channel [07:55] avant [07:55] avant window navigator [07:55] avant rules [07:55] ere4si thanks for the info [07:56] with black gloss icon pack [07:56] k [07:56] which i think may have started the problem im having now [07:56] at least thats what i was screwing with last [07:56] prohna, that may work for you but i want something more mIRC like... so i guess ill have to find a plugin for xchat or another open source irc client [07:56] i think theres a gui version of irssi [07:56] hah [07:56] its got loads of options if thats what you want [07:57] the first time to use this tools [07:57] /msg nickserv gangsta87 [07:57] Smacky, i'm also running xchat on kde, i don't know if that would make a difference or not, the other box i checked has gnome [07:57] shouldnt typing nautilus in terminal restart it? [07:59] it says nautilus is running in my current session [08:00] but i dont have a desktop [08:01] anyone here know how to mount vhd file? [08:02] so what i have to do to get nautilus started is go into sytem tools kill it then restart it from terminal [08:02] I have backup my computer with vista, and now I want to access the vhd file [08:02] what should I do?

[08:26] Sn00zer thanks anyhow [08:26] TrustNoOne, yes there is, i think you just have to check the enable tray icon under chatting alerts [08:26] DirtyMonkey: the local X server is :0, so xset -display :0 or export DISPLAY=:0 [08:27] sn00zer, that is already enabled, yet when i close the window it doesnt minimize to tray [08:29] TrustNoOne, do you have the icon in the tray?

[08:34] man linux is the bomb [08:34] TrustNoOne, it pops up everytime you close xchat asking to minimize or exit, but there is a check box to never ask again, maybe you checked it and told it to quit?

[08:46] pen_: I would imagine it is yeah [08:46] AndrewB: I would like to hear a definite answer [08:46] pen_: then I don't know. [08:47] pen_: according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Virtual_PC it is [08:47] !qemu [08:47] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [08:47] !kqemu [08:47] kqemu is a kernel module (now free under the GPL license) for speeding up the !QEMU virtual machine. Installation instructions can be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/KQEmu [08:47] AndrewB: grrr... [08:48] AndrewB: howa botu qemu? can it mount vhd file? [08:48] pen_: no idea, not used windows is yonks. Infact not used a PC in years! [08:49] AndrewB: PC? you mean windows right? [08:49] pen_: yeah, I use macs [08:49] oh :O [08:49] I see [08:49] i'm having problems getting kvm to recognize the VMX extensions in my CPU to take advantage of hardware virtualization. anyone have experience with KVM or KQEMU? [08:50] AndrewB: last i checked, most macs were pcs...they certainly aren't servers or mainframes or microwaves nearly as often as they tend to be pcs [08:50] I'm depressed [08:50] I have to go to xp to do thie freaking easy task [08:50] macogw: yeah true heh [08:51] I am confused. Wasn't Ubuntu's naming scheme .? [08:51] macogw: I just grab it from the 'PC vs. Mac' [08:51] bridezilla: it is [08:51] AndrewB: Then why is 8.10 8.10? [08:51] Or are they planning ahead 8 months? [08:51] bridezilla: cause it is due in Oct [08:52] bridezilla: the next release will be 8.04 [08:52] bridezilla, the next version is hardy heron which is due in April [08:52] bridezilla: but anything that's too "radical" for the 8.04 LTS release is being pushed off to 8.10 [08:52] Strange. [08:53] The version scheme is ingenius and confusing at the same time. [08:53] They try for a release every 6 months thus it will bbe 8.04 then 8.10 [08:53] Why didn't anyone else thinkof this scheme before anyway? [08:53] When I type a directory path, what button should I press to have the list of files displayed below the current line? [08:54] like when I press Tab the path is completed [08:54] but i want the files in the current path to be lsited out [08:55] csaba: if there's no further to go, hitting tab twice will list them [08:55] oooh [08:55] thanks [08:55] Also, why is an entirely difference... um... "branch" needed for a different GUI and so on? Why not give the choice when installing it or something? [08:56] if anybody isnt being helped at this moment i can try to help you. [08:56] how do i update ntfs-3g on ubuntu? [08:56] bridezilla: can only fit one on the cd :) [08:56] bridezilla: then it would go over 1 cd [08:56] bridezilla: the apps are all different too [08:56] oh macogw bet me [08:57] also, how can I copy-paste in the console? Right now I select with the mouse and right-click and click copy, is there something like ctrl+c ctrl+v? [08:57] hi [08:57] bridezilla: so you could just do a server install so there's no GUI then apt-get whichever you want (like I did...that's how I have a Fluxbox-only system) [08:57] csaba: highlight to copy, middle click (or click left & right at the same time if you lack a middle button) to paste [08:57] hi all [08:58] Hmm. I still think Ubuntu should be available via FTP install so you can just download a tiny setup CD ISO image on like 2 MB. [08:58] megaman5, sudo apt-get update && upgrade [08:58] ok, thanks [08:58] csaba: the gnome-terminal shortcuts all add shift to the usuals, so ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v should work [08:58] Much less bandwidth wasted and much better in every way. === Jannita is now known as Johanna [08:58] bridezilla: debbian has that [08:59] bridezilla: there is a mini install disk somewhere... [08:59] FreeBSD does as well. Why not all distros? [08:59] Hell... why not even Windows? [08:59] and a thing for PXE booting [08:59] macogw: Somewhere? Why not on the public download page? [08:59] bridezilla: not all distros: lots of work to maintain that many CD images and support a whole ton of installation methods [08:59] bridezilla: not windows: too easy to pirate [08:59] bridezilla: its in the wiki [09:00] Easy to pirate? All that matters is their serial key. [09:00] is it hard to repair mbr if you installed ubuntu first. then you install windows and need grub back. is it hard to bring back or no? [09:01] bridezilla: i dont think the usb installation or mini installer or PXE are officially supported, so they go on the wiki since theyre community efforts... like how the PowerPC ports are only available on 1 or 2 servers [09:01] jay-oh-en: just use your live cd to boot, then use "sudo chroot /dev/sda1" (or whatever partition your ubuntu install is, and then "sudo grub-install" i think [09:02] hey, i want to dual boot ubuntu with my windows xp laptop, i have a few questions, 1. do i need to defrag my hd and with what 2. i want 2 use the windows xp bootloader 3. is it easy to remove ubuntu to get my hd space back [09:02] !it [09:02] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [09:02] BenniBoya: the windows hard drive? its a good idea to defrag first (the one built into windows is fine, but maybe do it twice) so everything's together to lower the chance of changing the partition size hurting the data [09:03] BenniBoya: there is a way to use the NTLDR, but I don't know it...it involves installing GRUB on the Ubuntu partition then chainloading it from NTLDR [09:03] much easier to go with grub and use that bootloader [09:03] macogw: Isn't the point of FOSS that it's "community efforts"? [09:03] BenniBoya: to remove ubuntu and get your space back, just delete the partition it was on and format it as whatever you want (probably NTFS for windows). that might have to be done from a live cd since Windows doesn't understand ext3 (the most common Linux file system) [09:04] my drive is ntfs and i want 2 use the windows one because i dont know how lonmg i will use linux 4 [09:04] macogw, can you get the reall instructions so im not left out when i go to fix grub [09:04] bridezilla: there's a company that backs Ubuntu though, Canonical [09:04] jay-oh-en: they're online somewhere... just google for grub install [09:05] jay-oh-en: i think there's actually a page on either the ubuntuforums or the ubuntu wiki that explains how to get grub back after windows eats it [09:05] macogw: do you know how 2 use the windows xp boot loader 4 ubuntu [09:05] BenniBoya: no. i havent used windows much in nearly 2 years [09:06] !grub | macogw [09:06] macogw: 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 [09:06] that one? [09:06] BenniBoya: and when i have, it hasnt been on my computer or any over which i have free reign (if i had free reign over it, windows would be gone :P) [09:06] jay-oh-en: yes the one that says RecoveringUbuntuAfter... [09:06] rofl [09:07] could i install ubuntu without a boot loader then i read somewhere you can extract something and add it 2 the boot.ini, would that work [09:07] is anyone on here using gmailfs? [09:08] BenniBoya: hey there's only one windows computer in my family's possession now. something about needing Skype video which used to not work on Linux...except they dont have a webcam....no idea how they intend to make that work O_o i only touch it 3 times a year to update the anti-virus [09:08] BenniBoya: er...maybe? i dont really know as ive never had to do it [09:08] ok [09:08] BenniBoya: i think the usual way is to install grub in the ubuntu partition then edit the boot.ini to point at grub if you pick Ubuntu [09:09] for the re partioning my ntfs, would ubuntu do it, i read somewhere else that it isnt totaly compatible with ntfs [09:09] itll be fine [09:09] it didnt used to be compatible with ntfs [09:09] cause i use this computer every day 4 school [09:09] i ned it to eb working lol [09:09] the drivers for NTFS have been in good shape since around summer [09:10] ok [09:10] before that they were "you can definitely read...just not so sure you'll be able to save to the NTFS drive from linux..." [09:10] so windows defrag twice, repartion while in the installer, try and not install grub is what im going to do. is that a good plan? [09:10] bahh my SQL injection is not working [09:11] the advanced button at the end of the install is where you pick where grub goes [09:11] is there a command that would create a decktop icon? Execute "Blankity Something" and an icon appears on the desktop.. [09:11] please [09:11] it defaults to just saying hd0 i think [09:12] when it shows how its splitting up the disk, look at partition numbers. first disk first partition would be hd(0,0) for grub (i think thats the notation, i *know* theyre both 0), 2nd partition would be hd(0,1) etc [09:12] make sure it's installing to ubuntu's partition [09:13] if grub gets installed on the MBR and you need to undo it, though, your Windows disk has a recovery console from which you can type "fixmbr" and restore NTLDR [09:13] gidean: you have to make a .desktop file on the Desktop to do that [09:13] gidean: dont ask me how, as i dont know the format [09:14] gidean: but if you make some other rubbish one, you can open it in a text editor and see how it's setup and modify it to whatever you want to do [09:14] coucou [09:14] hola [09:14] ?? [09:14] liook: habla espanol? [09:14] si [09:15] liook: va al #ubuntu-es [09:15] de dnd eres??

[09:15] create launcher and then the command for the bin, yes? [09:15] http://wiresmash.com/funny/epic-battle-puppy-vs-robot/ hilarious [09:15] haha [09:15] liook: un poquito [09:16] were you from?

[09:18] brambo: use the "add/remove applications" window [09:19] i did but it wont let me uncheck it [09:19] macogw, on a scale from 1 to 10 ten the hardest what would that tut be [09:19] hey i just realised somehting [09:20] how much space does a regular ubuntu install take? [09:20] enough to install [09:20] ;-) [09:21] cause i only got like 5gig to spare [09:21] i got a 60gig hd with 18gig of games lol [09:21] BenniBoya, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [09:21] ty [09:22] 5gig is plenty for ubuntu depends how u wanna use it i guess [09:22] novell login client for gutsy...when is that happening ffs! [09:22] i want 2 build apps with it [09:22] just build little programs [09:22] and eep it as a recovery os [09:23] would 5 gig leave me with room for applications? [09:23] yeah i think so [09:23] kk thanks [09:24] not big apps as u should have like 1gig at min for any OS i think [09:24] BenniBoya, The minimum needed is 2Gb, although it recommends 8Gb for a normal install (according to that specification page) [09:25] but the system itself dont seem to take up more the 1 to 2gig [09:25] then* [09:25] Hi! I have a remote virtual server that has CENTos 4.5 on it. I have root. I would like to install Ubunti 7.10 on it, without using external media (other than internet). Suggestions? [09:25] yeh my install uses 6.3gb and that includes wine with msoffice, google-earth, utils etc [09:25] *ubuntu [09:25] Ubuntu should NEVER take up more than 4GB...not even bloated [09:26] anyone have an idea why i cant uncheck wine in add/remove apps ? [09:26] dependencies brambo [09:26] something wants what it installed. [09:27] like programs i may have installed thru wine? [09:27] macogw, ? you there [09:28] jay-oh-en: yes [09:28] maybe [09:28] hey, try this [09:28] jay-oh-en: never tried it [09:28] go to terminal..by clicking aplications...terminal [09:28] applications..accesories..terminal..sorry [09:29] then typing sudo apt-get clean [09:29] quick question (hopefully) If I have a wireless card in master mode serving as a dhcp server to set up wep I just enter the wep info like I would if I was connecting to something? [09:29] so am I correct in assuming that there is no way to replace an existing copy of linux with ubuntu using nothing but network media? [09:30] ciao [09:30] get clean? [09:31] sudo apt-get clean [09:31] exactly like that [09:31] yea i did that, just went back to desktop:~$ [09:32] after i typed the password [09:32] did it spit out anything about removing packages? [09:32] no [09:32] hmmm [09:32] GodSyn, you could check out debootstrap [09:32] ok [09:33] Does anyone know what it means when you get an "Invalid GUID" message in an online game?

[10:24] can you set it higher under windows? [10:24] (if you've tried that OS :) ) [10:24] will try but i think so [10:25] I haven't seen any flat panels that report higher than 60hz [10:25] i have a dualboot, so i'll give it a shot [10:25] then there is some other problem [10:25] Blankins[1]: have you tried an empirical test to see if you get smearing?

[10:29] nope Wander_w, just stays black :) [10:30] Silencerr: Well, try the alternate CD, or use the CRT you have to install [10:30] bobbyd, I have installed it like that before, but even after installation I don't get a graphical mode to work. [10:30] Silencerr: What graphical card do you have? [10:31] an ATI (yes, I know ><) x1800xt [10:31] Did you install the restricted drivers? [10:31] anybody know of something that can look at 2 different sql create table queries & can generate the needed alter statements... kind of like diff & patch? [10:31] I am upgrading from feisty to gusty should I go 64 bit? Is there any reason *not* to. [10:32] is there a way to setup authentication proteted web browsable svn repo's on feisty? will trac do this? [10:32] or is there a better package / system to use for this? [10:33] what_if: I've heard of some driver troubles with 64 bit, But I guess that most will be resolved by now. [10:33] Hi ppl, when i'm trying to print a test pake on our HP 3600n i'll get this report: Unable to find IP address for server name "knappen-laptop"! [10:33] *testpage [10:33] Wander_w: my nvidia drivers will still work, right?? [10:33] Wander_w: I'm kind of a noob and I don't even get to installing anything if I'm in text-mode :) [10:34] what_if: but do keep in mind that going to 64bit doesn't make your computer faster (unless you have an AMD processor which are faster in 64 bit mode) [10:34] I'm only taking my first linux-steps ;x [10:34] hello [10:34] hop mac [10:34] mac mac mac [10:34] Silencerr: Use your CRT [10:34] Wander_w: have an amd64 X2. :) [10:34] mac it s the best [10:34] and secondly is my time better spent looking into this git local repository idea instead? [10:34] je suis ou [10:34] je comprends rien [10:34] what_if: Make a backup of your stuff, and just give it a go, it should work [10:34] hihihihi [10:35] !fr | macpower [10:35] macpower: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [10:35] macpower i can't agree with you [10:35] what_if: Great! I'd go for 64 bit [10:35] iok dankiu [10:35] very match === madmaxmad is now known as mad_max02 [10:35] the best is ..... uhm i gona get kick if i say it [10:36] but however it's not windows :) [10:36] Hi ppl, when i'm trying to print a testpage on our HP 3600n i'll get this report: Unable to find IP address for server name "knappen-laptop"! [10:36] the best OS is whatever i'm familiar with ;p [10:37] is there a Ubuntu program for image to text like OCR or something? [10:37] knappen_, you coul try editing your /etc/hosts file to add a line for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx knappen-laptop, I had to a similar thing last night to mount an nfs drive [10:38] overdub: I used "apt-cache search OCR" and it gave me results like: [10:38] gocr - A command line OCR [10:38] clara - Free OCR program for Unix Systems [10:38] tesseract-ocr - Command line OCR tool [10:39] great information Wander_w , thanks [10:39] now I even know how to find things myself [10:39] no problem, just try apt-cache search yourself sometimes :) [10:40] greetings to one and all [10:40] :-) [10:40] greetings [10:40] i'm not sure if this is the correct channel to ask the question, so plz point me in the right direction if i'm mistaken [10:40] Hiro_ZA: Left! [10:40] i have just recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my Del D600 laptop [10:41] but it seems like the Graphics drivers are not 100% correct :-< [10:41] for example, when i scroll up and down on a website, it is not a smooth scroll [10:42] but is jerky and lagged. i see the same thing right after a fresh windows install, but then i fix it my applying the latest ATI driver [10:42] Hiro_ZA: trie restricted drivers? [10:42] from the ATI website ? [10:43] i think i saw some, but none mentioned for ubuntu [10:43] does it matter if its for a different Distro ? [10:43] Hiro_ZA: Ubuntu has the same driver pre-packaged for you allready [10:44] Hiro_ZA: install package "xorg-driver-fglrx" [10:44] I want to build ffmpeg as detailed here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg - Can anyone tell me approximately how much i'll need to download for the source and build apps (assuming nothing is installed, some may be already)? [10:44] it does ?cool! umm....but how can i install this driver? (bearing in mind my n00b linux status) :-( [10:44] Wander : Can i send u a pm plz [10:45] Hiro_ZA: so type in a terminal: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [10:45] Hiro_ZA: I could, but this discussion belongs in the channel imho [10:45] thats cool [10:45] is there a terminal shortcut button/menu point ? [10:47] Hey guys, need your help. After installing ubuntu, somehow grub added windows XP to the grub list, but i don't have windows XP installed anymore, the partition that had windows XP on it now has windows vista. I can't acces windows vista anymore. Is there anyway i can add windows vista to the grub list? [10:48] o, sorry, fund it [10:48] found it :-) [10:48] what's the best way to get an nvidia driver newer than the one available in standard repos? [10:48] * Hiro_ZA is a dumba$$ [10:48] wanderer : The Install first ? or SUDO first ? [10:49] VSpike: you can just download it from nvidia if you're card's so new the current doesnt work [10:50] macogw: i'm just getting annoyed by this bug http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-590318.html [10:51] macogw: aren't there some 3rd party repos? [10:51] macogw: you'd favour a manual install over a packaged version or envy? [10:51] Hiro_ZA: so type in a terminal: "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" [10:51] got it [10:51] did it [10:51] VSpike: there are some scripts that are supposed to automate it (like envy and automatix) that are known to occasionally break things [10:51] got error message [10:51] :-( [10:52] !envy | VSpike [10:52] VSpike: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [10:52] wanderer: check PM [10:52] Guys...i've a problem regarding internet on ubuntu.. [10:52] or should i post error msg here ? [10:52] is anyone here willing to help on internet issues? [10:52] VSpike: its not guaranteed that the nvidia.com driver even has a fix for that. i suggest looking around to see if nvidia ever actually fixed it or if it's an outstanding bug [10:52] Hiro_ZA: just post it here, I didn't get a PM [10:52] plse can someone help me with installing windows fonts on ubuntu? plse [10:53] macogw: it says in that bug report that it's fixed in the hardy versions [10:53] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [10:53] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [10:53] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [10:53] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [10:53] hiro_za: You're using another program which also uses dpkg [10:53] Hiro_ZA, close your synaptic or add/remove [10:53] could be synaptic with apt-get [10:53] VSpike: ok then yeah grab the ones from nvidia.com [10:53] whats syaptic ? [10:53] Hiro_ZA: Ah, are you using adept-updater, adept or an other package manager? if so, close it [10:54] dgjones: yeah I know the official line on envy. But in this case, i do need a driver outside of what restricted manager provides, so I'm asking the safest way to go about it [10:54] VSpike: dont try to use the hardy package though because its not compiled for your kernel [10:54] could it be the update manager ? [10:54] synaptic package manager...on gnome.. [10:54] yup [10:54] add/remove [10:54] hiredgoon, yes...that is it. [10:54] ahh, cool, yes, that is open, but busy installing updates. [10:54] VSpike, i'd say a manual install, at least then you'd know what it was doing [10:54] will kill it soon as its done and then ry again [10:54] then let it [10:54] then you'd have to wait [10:54] macogw: there definitely used to be 3rd party repositories for bleeding edge nvidia drivers. [10:54] Yup [10:54] Ok guys...someone here for internet help ? :P [10:54] VSpike: havent been around since edgy, i think [10:55] dgjones: with the manual install, don't you have to remove the restricted kernel modules package? [10:55] thanks ppl :D i'll wait till i can and then try updating the graphics drivers. wish me luck :D [10:55] Best of Luck :p [10:55] macogw: I'm just using the NVidia ones from their website; It's a pain to keep up to date, but I like pain [10:55] best of luck, hiro [10:55] VSpike, I'm not sure, I've not had to do it, my graphics card is an old one anyway [10:55] what could be the reason if (ubuntu gutsy) firefox and other windows vanish periodically? [10:56] Ok i'll post it. [10:56] just out of curiosity, how many of u guys use the drivers i am trying to install ? [10:56] i only use Intel graphics. nice open source drivers that never fail :D [10:56] Hiro_ZA: I don't use those, I only have NVidia cards (and an VIA openchrome somewhere) [10:56] though actually the card on this laptop (borrowed) is an old ATI that uses the open source drivers [10:57] ahh, darn, me and my dodgy ATI [10:57] witam [10:57] the old ATI cards are nice... Radeon 9250's work very well [10:57] Hiro_ZA: The NVidia cards require allmost the same steps [10:58] I've a very strange kind of problem on ubuntu so far, My internet be it on roaming mode, dhcp or static ip. It loads everything perfectly, I am on LAN and it loads all the dns servers and ips perfectly but when for instance I connect to IRC or Firefox it says connection refused? why is it so? while on windows it works perfectly. Then if I disable networking and quickly enable it and within 1-2 secs connect the irc server..it catches it b [10:58] ut if after 3-4 secs i do it..it gives again connection refused...sometimes it works nicely but most of the time it gives problems of connection refused. Any guide? [10:58] how to get rid of an xfce error when starting up the desktop. the splash tells me xfce is "verifying DNS settings" and that it cannot lookup the address for this computer. the computer sits on a natted lan [10:58] adios amigos [10:58] catch ya later [10:58] Hiro_ZA: the VIA openchrome required a FULL rebuild of X (talk about difficult to setup) [10:58] Wander_w: don't get me started on a system that has that i've been trying to install ubuntu on ;p [10:58] I feel so frustrated with it, I can't explain it. [10:59] hi all [10:59] I need help on CGI with Ubuntu 7.10 [10:59] St0n3-C0l: are you on a coperate LAN? [10:59] hi - i've removed compiz from my machine, but now i have no window controls - how do i revert back to metacity altogether so i dont have to type 'metacity --replace' when i start x? [10:59] dgjones, macogw : thanks .. I think I'll live with it until either I get really ticked off with it or hardy is released, whichever comes first. [11:00] Wander_W: Nope..it's my whole area lan...they use wireless switches [11:00] u could say it's a cable connection.

[11:03] St0n3-C0l: yes i know. my femaleness & linux-usage was pointe out in #ubuntu-offtopic as proof that linux isnt just for geeks. i was pretty insulted.

[11:06] lol [11:06] macogw, is there a cleaner way than putting it in a session? [11:06] SleepingSloth: O_o freaky. put it in system -> preferences -> session -> startup [11:06] Shinji-, does it play those tho? [11:06] !grub [11:06] 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 [11:06] SleepingSloth: dunno. weird that it doesnt autostart though [11:06] it works fine [11:06] thnx [11:07] jay-oh-en, vlc plays about anything [11:07] macogw, yeah, i removed compiz, and the result is i have no window bars at all, until i type metacity --replace [11:07] macogw, obviously *somewhere* there is a reference to it, but i dont know where [11:07] SleepingSloth: i suppose there should be a way to set metacity as the default WM... maybe in gconf-editor? [11:07] SleepingSloth, how about open the sessions in system, preferences? [11:08] go to #ro [11:09] lagann_, i know that will provide a solution - but its not very elegant, is it... X tries to start something non-existant and fails, presumably, and then i tack on a replace at the end [11:09] SleepingSloth: the setting is probably in gconf. it's like gnome's registry [11:09] macd, looking now... [11:09] SleepingSloth: you have desktop effects totally disabled in system -> pref -> appearance, right? [11:09] macd, uhum, sorry [11:10] macogw, yes, looking now :S [11:10] macogw, yes [11:10] can I have dhcpd listen on 2 interfaces (eth0 and ath0) and assign ips in the same subnet (192.168.1.XXX)?

[11:11] St0n3-C0l: you don't - you edit /etc/network/interfaces [11:11] I've a very strange kind of problem on ubuntu so far, My internet be it on roaming mode, dhcp or static ip.

[11:13] compwiz18: nope [11:13] it's auto dns [11:13] it's on roaming mode [11:13] no proxies [11:13] Shinji-, its just a black screen and it stays there [11:13] nothing === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [11:13] jay-oh-en, you should let the totem load the videos for you [11:14] St0n3-C0l: that's strange --- it shouldn't give you connection refused [11:14] Just too sick cos late at nights [11:14] St0n3-C0l: can you connect using the terminal?

[11:28] mehrab1131: no [11:29] salty, how about you boot into your windows partition and boot back into ubuntu [11:29] ive managed to get my splashy working & terminals working but the resolution is all wrong is there a good guide somewhere? [11:30] is there any live ubuntu rescue small iso cd (<60Mb)? [11:31] reisi, at launchpad.net you could report your bug if your looking for a package you could try http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [11:31] i doubt theres a ubuntu 1 but do you need it to be ubuntu? [11:31] Shinji-: oki thanks again [11:31] is it so bad if I use 7.10 for a while until I get 8.04 in April? [11:32] lagann_: That I have done. Sadly it hasn't made a difference. After asking about an unmountable partition it then goes on to load to a black screen which I get no response from till rebooting. [11:32] pzn, there's this, I've not used it, but maybe its what you're looking for, although its about 160Mb http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [11:32] I'm severly limited by bandwidth, and shipit will take at least 6 weeks to get to me [11:33] I removed phpmyadmin, but the error is remained [11:33] flegged: uh thats normal [11:33] flegged: no, and their faster than they say ;p [11:33] I could try and copy down the error message and post it here if it'll mean someone will have a better understanding of my issue? [11:33] salty: pastebin it ;) [11:33] flegged: most people arent using 8.04 yet [11:33] this is my phpmyadmin.conf [11:33] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56830/ [11:33] macogw I'm not saying it isn't. I just wanted to know if installing 7.10 was so bad [11:34] what is the problem? [11:34] faileas to Australia though? Last time it took 5 weeks [11:34] flegged: oh its easy to install [11:34] flegged: ahh. 2 weeks in the UK ;p [11:34] faileas: I'm sorry. I'm new enough not to get what pastebin means.

[11:35] macogw yes, I know it's easy to install. I'm just saying what will the pitfalls be of installing 7.04 now instead of waiting till I get the latest one from shipit [11:35] hi, how I disable the auto complete of the syntax from Quanta? [11:35] !hardy | boxemall [11:35] boxemall: 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 [11:36] pzn: http://damnsmalllinux.org/ DSL is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution.

[11:36] reisi:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56830/ [11:36] flegged: uh....you have to download more stuff when you upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 than if you just install 8.04 from a disk? [11:36] dgjones, Wander_w thanks for the answers, I'll try DSL, I will burn in a 60mb cd-card === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [11:37] can someone help me [11:37] Right, thanks. pastebin makes sense now. [11:37] !ask \ Vaajda [11:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask \ vaajda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:37] mehrab1131: you could just remove that file [11:37] !ask | Vaajda [11:37] Vaajda: 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. :-) [11:37] macogw yeah. I wasn't going to upgrade the installation. I was going to use 7.04 until I got the latest installation disk. [11:37] i can type, i swear :) [11:37] * faileas throws Vaajda a life preserver ;p [11:37] time to reboot. Thanks for this much so far. [11:37] wander_w:ok I'll do that now [11:38] what is the command for force architecture? i was told i have to force architecture a package for gizmo [11:38] ok im trying to get my wmp54g linksys card to work [11:38] but i am unsure of the syntax [11:38] flegged: should be fine. if you need to mount an ntfs (windows) partition to use inside ubuntu it'll be slightly trickier...like 5 minutes of setup extra the first time [11:38] mehrab1131: and to test it, to see if it works, don't reboot; but use the command "sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart" [11:38] macogw that's ok. I'm fairly experienced, just wanted to know if there were any major things to look out for in the 7.04 install [11:39] why does xfce barf about "verifying the dns settings" when i logon? more specificaly, how the hell do i disable the annoying dns verification in gutsy [11:39] Predatorian: dpkg --force-architecture -i thing.deb [11:39] Predatorian: that should work...oh put "sudo" at the front [11:39] HAPPY chinese new year , the last day …………^^ [11:39] iblicf: youre like 2 weeks late [11:40] oh wait, last day? it lasts multiple days? ok nvm [11:40] macogw ie, any major security updates that would suck up my bandwidth. Anyway, I'll just install it, remove the Gnome, install XFCE4 and only update the packages I'll be using [11:40] it have a ralink chipset on it and i know i need the rt61 thing [11:40] flegged: there is definitely a kernel update to account for the vmsplice exploit released last week [11:41] macogw ah yes, I'd of course update to the latest kernel. *If* that isn't a problem with 7.04 [11:41] flegged: but that vmsplice exploit is one a local exploit [11:41] Predatorian: "man dpkg" and then if you type "/force" itll search for the word "force" and if you hit "n" it moves to the next one...eventually there's a list of things you can force [11:41] I usually do my own rebuild of the kernel anyway .. (I know, I know, not the ubuntu way ;) ) [11:42] Wander_w yeah [11:42] flegged: the kernel update is just a rebuld of the original kernel patched to block that exploit [11:42] Wander_w: there is another error [11:42] Wander_w: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56832/ [11:42] Vaajda: ralink chipsets are supported by default in ubuntu [11:42] hy [11:42] macogw yeah, I'll rebuild the latest kernel to my own needs anyway. If the update needs to be applied (as I think you are saying) I'll do that at the same tiem [11:42] s/tiem/time [11:42] hello [11:42] Wander_w: that file is needed I think [11:43] mehrab1131: well... the phpmyadmin is quite stubborn... try these commands: [11:43] So besides the vmsplice exploit, any major security problems since 7.04 offhand? [11:43] im installin unrealirc on my linux box [11:43] mehrab1131: apt-get install phpmyadmin [11:43] mehrab1131: [11:43] but it thinks port 8067 is being used [11:43] well its not connecting to the network [11:43] mehrab1131: apt-get remove --purge phpmyadmin [11:44] which its not [11:44] mehrab1131: that will rid you of every trace of phpmyadmin [11:44] flegged: the exploit is already fixed on the kernel updates [11:44] and when i go to start unreal its sayin that port 8067 is still being used [11:45] im running ubuntu 7.04 [11:45] how do i see whats runing on port 8067 [11:45] if there is anything [11:45] NativeAngels: lsof -n | grep 8067 [11:45] erUSUL ok, thanks for the info. So I'll just install 7.04, install and rebuild (just because I want to) the kernel. Then update the packages I need. After losing Gnome of course ;) [11:45] please, Gnome fans, don't get angry [11:45] hi i am allready member of AD Domain and want to use my account with ubuntu now [11:45] Vaajda do you regularly update your packages? [11:46] do i have to join again after samba is set up? [11:46] Alright, an edit on what I said previously. Booting up Ubuntu provides no errors. Just loads up to a point where the Monitor turns its self off and the keyboard becomes responseless. [11:46] whats does that do Wander_w [11:46] no i just installed7.04 and i havent done the updates yet [11:47] again that error [11:47] Vaajda ah well, I personally wouldn't do that. Was interested in the amount of downloads to get up to latest versions of commonly installed packages. Anyway, I'll investigate myself [11:47] NativeAngels: lsof: "LiSts" open file descriptors [11:47] mehrab1131: should you just revert everything related to apache/etc. and build your setup again from the start? [11:47] NativeAngels: grep searches for a patern [11:48] i did that and it came up with nothing [11:48] I had installed xampp too [11:48] mybe related to it? [11:48] mehrab1131: this time, do it by yourself, and while encountering a problem, consult manuals related to apache/phpmyadmin/mysql/xampp [11:48] flegged: you update before rebuild so you get the patched kernel and sources ;) [11:48] hullo againn ppl [11:48] thanks to wanderer and whoever else commented [11:48] Error binding stream socket [11:48] i have installed the propiet drivers [11:48] Hiro_ZA: please get my name right [11:49] NativeAngels what about "netstat -lanp |grep 8067" [11:49] im getting that message Wander_w [11:49] and evesorry [11:49] Wander_w :D [11:49] sould i do all of the updates [11:49] it appears to be working cool [11:49] erUSUL ah ok. I forgot with ubuntu you do the repository thing. [11:49] erUSUL was going to download from kernel.org like I used to [11:49] So my question is now; What steps would one take when Ubuntu loads upon startup then turns off the screen and keyboard and enters limbo? [11:50] i did that and still nothing flegged [11:50] flegged: Wow, neat command [11:50] quick question : Is it normal for Ubuntu to take quite a while to boot up ? [11:50] Wander_w heh, yeah ... [11:50] NativeAngels then nothing is running on that port, I'd say [11:50] NativeAngels: nothing probably means that there is nothing running on that port [11:50] I've been using Unbuntu far too shortly to have actually learnt any real knowledge on how to use it, and so my problem is beyond me. [11:50] what flegged said :P [11:51] Hey i want to extract the sound from an AVI, just 30 seconds of it.. Which is the best way to do this in ubuntu? [11:52] flegged: i personalyy use vanilla kernels (from kernel.org) so if you want to and your hw is properly supported (ubuntu kernel comes with a lot of external drivers) go ahead [11:52] Hadeshorn: ffmpeg from the command line will do it (with a bit of reading up on exactly which flags to use, or ask nicely on #ffmpeg) [11:52] Hadeshorn: mplayer -dumpaudio -endpos 30 somefile.avi [11:52] oh sweeet [11:52] thanks [11:52] shiny [11:53] erUSUL well that is what I was going to do anyway ;) I'm an old-timer with *nix but just wanted to know any probs with the 7.04 install [11:53] flegged should i do all of the updates [11:53] erUSUL all my hardware is supported in FreeBSD so I'm fairly sure ubuntu will support it [11:53] Vaajda I would [11:53] ok thanks [11:53] New updates in Ubuntu is like Cristmas every time! New toys to play with [11:54] heh [11:54] hehe :) [11:54] anybody managed to get a 3G USB modem working in Ubuntu ? [11:54] And it makes it harder for black hats to get their Christmas presents [11:54] Updates in Windows always means trouble and wasted time [11:54] the Huawei E220 [11:54] I need to know something about linux; what sounds nicer: xnode.org or xcoal.net? [11:54] Hiro_ZA nice question as that is exactly what I'm going to do after installing in a minute [11:55] flegged : hehe, please let me know if you succeed [11:55] pal of mine lost his copy of windoze and wants to join the light side [11:55] Hiro_ZA I've got it working with my phone (LG 8138), but that is UMTS speeds [11:55] but his only holdup, is the lack of 3G support [11:55] ahh, the E220 has HSDPA 3.6+ [11:55] Hiro_ZA yeah, I'll be able to report back later tonight (It's evening here) [11:55] yeah [11:55] Anyone?

[11:56] damn cricket killers! [11:56] :P [11:56] Hiro_ZA ah yes ... lol [11:57] 236mb [11:57] Hiro_ZA well it's all 20/20 now [11:57] Vaajda sweet, I can handle that when I update. Cheers [11:57] flegged : can u see my pm ? [11:57] Hiro_ZA nope [11:57] Hiro_ZA you not registered? [11:57] darn, something wrong with my PM's :-( [11:57] what chat client are u using ?

[11:58] HackTalk: The left one [11:58] HackTalk "what sounds nicer" isn't really an "ubuntu-related" question [11:58] The left? [11:58] far left [11:58] I was being sarcastic, just to get someone's attention [11:58] ask stupid questions,..

[12:21] sorry [12:21] 64 bit systems don't support 32 bit apps except in emulation... [12:21] thanx, I got it [12:21] m3gab0y, since the hardware supports it, i would like to know why ubuntu has decided not to allow native 32 bit apps to run, when other distros do. [12:21] TrapperDave: not really, you might want to use the hotplug system for that [12:22] i am for the first time in this channel [12:22] martin_: i was under the impression it was possible if you had the right packages installed. my systems are 32 bit tho so i don't know personally [12:22] macogw> i will try isostick, thx [12:22] some distror really have code for that [12:22] Wander_w: Thanks, I'll look into it :) [12:22] but it's rare and windows is not one of them ;) [12:22] TrapperDave: But I'm used to writing complex shell scripts for stuff like this, I'm not sure if that's what you want [12:23] m3gab0y, what is rare? [12:23] nobody around who can help me adding NT groups to ubuntu ? want to use a ubuntu server as a windows pdc [12:23] faileas, do you mean with chroot? === dgjones_ is now known as dgjones [12:24] * syc_ brb, makan dulu [12:25] i keep getting this error popping up [12:25] when using the Updater [12:25] and Add/Remove [12:26] basically, synaptic(?) stuff [12:26] W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [12:26] all my ttys are broken, is this due to a bad vga setting, what should i set vga to on an intel? [12:26] how can i fix this ? [12:27] Hi all! Does anybody know, is xchat-gnome better than xchat? [12:28] can someone pls tell me if ubuntu can use 2 internet connections at the same time [12:28] leongoo, its personal opinion, xchat has more features, so would probably be said to be better than xchat-gnome [12:28] leongoo, I'm using xchat-gnome atm, works fine for me :) [12:28] I habe 4 Gnome-Terminals offen but there are 5 bash processes, see http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/43064/. What is the role of the process 'bash -rcfile .bashrc'? Who started it? [12:30] bullgard4: man bash [12:30] bullgard4: oic - no idea [12:30] how do I get mycomputer on ubuntu desktop gnome [12:31] I want to access my home HD from work to listen to my music at work... how you do people recommend me to do this? [12:31] use a music deamon web app [12:31] Frogzoo: Tell me what do you mean by 'oic'? [12:32] oh, I see ? [12:32] bullgard4: no idea what started that process - check the parent process id in 'ps aux' [12:32] ok, back online using xhcat gnome now [12:32] how do i setup a script to auto authenticate me via nickserv ? [12:33] !shoutcast | luisbg_ [12:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about shoutcast - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:33] bullgard4: ps axl actually [12:33] goppp, thanks [12:33] Hiro_ZA, it is under Xchat> Network List [12:33] Frogzoo: You still did not tell me what do you mean by 'oic'? -- I have checked the parent process. I even have published the result of that check. Did you miss it? [12:33] hello [12:33] Hiro_ZA, #xchat is a good place to ask. www.xchat.org has a good FAQ page [12:34] how in gnome ubuntu do you get the mycomputer incon [12:34] icon on the desktop [12:34] Hello all [12:34] Does anyone know what exactly the boot option 'noirqdebug' does? It seems i can only use the partitioner at the install disk if i boot with this option. (Although i've never needed it before on this pc.) [12:34] how can I prevent Evolution from starting every time I log into Gnome? There's nothing in ~/.config/autostart and I've made sure it isn't set in System --> Preferences ---> Sessions --> Startup programs :( Thanks, guys [12:34] goppp, create a launcher and select the icon you want [12:34] hi [12:34] k [12:35] goppp did u disable icons on desktop? [12:35] yea [12:35] k [12:35] I think by mistake, but I forget how to get it back [12:35] how to embed an arhchived file into a shell script without uuencoding it like shar does? What tool to use? [12:35] I want to write the same installer like that of ATI and NVidia (run-files) [12:36] Hmm, firestarter still protects even if the GUI is not running, correct? [12:36] i would like some help: unable to chat with kopete in msn format. when i send a msg in a chat with a contact i only get: "The following message has not been sent correctly (Connection closed):". Any idea it could come from ? [12:36] somebody ask something ;) [12:36] plen0x_: yes. it just sets rules in iptables and then those run all the time [12:36] plen0x_, firestarter is a frontend to iptables [12:36] That's what I thought, wasn't sure and didn't feel like opening firefox :P [12:37] does swap have to be bigger than memory to suspend (even if im not using most of the memory?) [12:38] can someone pls tell me if ubuntu can use 2 internet connection at the same time [12:38] Xbehave, i dont think it has to.. BUT if you some how are using all your memory, and some swap. Youmay get in a state where you cant suslend. [12:38] where do i place a command which i want ubuntu to run everytime on startup? [12:38] Vaajda, yes it can. ip-masquerading can handle that. [12:38] shishirm1, depends onw hat the command is doing. [12:38] shishirm1: system -> pref -> sessions -> startup [12:38] shishirm1, /etc/rc.local for system stuff [12:38] Xbehave: normally swap is used when memory if quite full [12:39] local user stuff like macogw said. [12:39] Dr_willis thank you very much [12:39] i want to start fetchmail in deamon mode everytime system starts [12:39] hi, where can i get support for gimp? [12:39] threefcata: if its in-depth kind of stuff, #gimp might be a goo idea [12:39] shishirm1, guess ya could do it in rc.local, ive never messed with fetchmail [12:39] threefcata: i mean "good". if its basic, we might be helpful [12:39] Anyone else having problem when exporting an image with inkscape? [12:40] ok fine i will give it a try [12:40] my gig of swap is unused but my system doesnt seam to like suspending since i increased the ram to 1gig + 256 [12:40] macogw: i guess it a simple question, how to get rid of the annoying dotted box around the layer when a layer is selected? [12:40] this is odd [12:41] threefcata: unselect it [12:41] my xhcat gnome seems to be locking up [12:41] every time i click on the "Ubuntu Server" and try to msg ncikserv [12:41] macogw: is that the only way? [12:41] i would like some help: unable to chat with kopete in msn format. when i send a msg in a chat with a contact i only get: "The following message has not been sent correctly (Connection closed):". Any idea it could come from ? Please... [12:41] threefcata: think so. the crawling ants are visual clue to let you know what you've selected. without them, how would you see what youve selected to know what you're doing? [12:41] magouero: perhaps a firewall? [12:41] * FiveSheetsOfAcid is back (gone 01:20:36) [12:42] Dr_willis: Thanks and thanks to macogw: too [12:42] squid0: can the contact appear online, and I also in this case ? [12:43] macogw: i mean the one that is not moving, it appears when you choose a layer in the layer panel but haven't done anything to that layer yet [12:43] macogw> it doesn't still work [12:43] macogw> i trioed with gutsy and hardy alpha 4 [12:43] macogw: the black and yellow one [12:43] magouero: hmm. I don't know. I'm not sure exactly how the data is sent. have you tried a) using another IM program, and b) using another IM network? [12:44] magouero: this will help you to isolate / localize the problem [12:44] threefcata: oh umm...you could make the layers all the same size so that the dotted line and the edge of the image are the same place... === neversfelde|mobi is now known as neversfelde [12:44] threefcata: dont think theres a way to be rid of it [12:44] Eythan: what was your trouble again? [12:44] hello [12:45] macogw> my usb stick doesn't boot, [12:45] But the dotted box shows you the edges of the layer.. [12:45] isent that the point of it. :) [12:45] macogw> i used the script [12:45] Eythan: oh umm i dont know [12:45] squid0: irc seems to work properly. Anyway: where to find the firewall settings in kubuntu ? (i have it since yesterday...) [12:45] twice [12:45] and follow many tuts [12:45] magouero, there are no default firewall rules. Unless you set some up [12:45] !firewall | magouero [12:45] magouero: 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). [12:45] magouero: as far as I know, there is no firewall installed by default. [12:46] magouero: this probably means that it's not a firewall problem [12:46] firewall is built in.. just no 'rules' by default. :) [12:46] macogw: well, i'm piecing several pictures that are cut from the same one together to get the original on back.. guess not be able to make them of different sizes..thanks anyway~ [12:46] magouero: google the kopete error message, enclosed in quotation marks ("") [12:46] is there a way to take a screenshot of an ubuntu virtual machine on virtualbox?is it possible on the opensource version or will I have to use the gnomes snapshot? [12:46] so it should be ok. Hummm ok i check with google, good idea, back in some minutes [12:47] fevel: you should be able to take a screenshot of the whole VM including VB from the host OS or of just what's inside VB's viewing area from the guest [12:48] please someone help me with my mic [12:48] macogw, yes, I use ubuntu as host too, the virtual ubuntu is for me to mess up, I found gnome app on host the easiest [12:48] macogw, thanks [12:50] hi :D [12:51] hello [12:51] i fix my codec problem [12:52] Hi there :D. I've got a somewhat obscure question. I've got a large folder, full of subfolders which are regularly changed by an application. Is there an easy (read: command-line) way that I could selectively backup the ones that have changed in the last week or so? [12:53] <[chr0n0s]> tangle-tooth, read man of cp [12:53] <[chr0n0s]> tangle-tooth, you will find something useful there [12:53] tangle-tooth: rsync may also be what you are interested in [12:53] tangle-tooth, also i thought rsync, could do that.. or some other backup tools. [12:53] Okay. (still somewhat new at this) [12:53] squid0: I found out using your advicce (google etc) it is bug #134664 and not solved yet if i'm right. A pity all contacts i have use msn or ... Skype. Thanks for all. Thank also Dr_willis. [12:54] tangle-tooth, there is rsync [12:55] tangle-tooth, unison [12:55] Another newbie question: where do we find the kdewallet ? Which menu ? It is shouting for a password that i never set up and there is no icon ... [12:55] * tangle-tooth is busily looking up all these apps. [12:55] magouero, look at the right side of the panel. should be a systemtray icon forit [12:55] magouero: if you never set it up, are you sure its not asking you to set it up? [12:56] tangle-tooth, unison is very very handy also. [12:56] (( il y a pas un chn français? :p fench channel? :p) [12:56] !fr | wormin [12:56] wormin: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

[12:58] Dr_willis: on the right i have trash, clock, sound, kopete, clip, eth0. That's all. It requires a kdewallet pswd each time i start a chat in kopete for ex which is logical. But i cannot answer as i do not have thos psw [12:58] tank you macogw [12:58] magouero, somthing seems odd here.. kwallet starts up and asks for a password to let it rember all your other passwords for you. Since its not setup. its not rembering them.. sounds like to me. [12:58] You could just disable kwallet i guess. [12:59] My login screen has turned to remote login screen. How do I normalise it? [12:59] Dr_willis: i fully agree. But how to set this thing up ? Is there a menu or a command somewhere (or even to disable it, why not) [13:00] does anyone know how to remote desktop into ubuntu? [13:00] yusti [13:01] Laney_Family: you can ssh in with X forwarding if you're coming from a Mac, Linux, or using Cygwin on Windows [13:01] ... [13:01] Laney_Family: you can also install a VNC viewer on Mac or Windows [13:01] cygwin? [13:01] Laney_Family: Unix/Linux command line for Windows, includes an X server [13:02] hi all... I'm using a dlink 120m bluetooth dongle and have a white mac book keyboard (the one they released before the small steel ones)... ubuntu 7.10 is not auto detecting this device that I am aware of. I don't know if it's the dongle that isn't working or the keyboard. any ideas? [13:02] LadyNikon, nx ROCKS [13:02] yea, i was wanting the gui, i can terminal into it no issue [13:02] magouero, check the kde help docs would be step 1 i guess Hit F1 . I havent been using kde much lately. [13:02] Okay, here's one for you. I can't connect to my SSH all of a sudden. Just get connection refused. [13:02] Laney_Family: but if you use "ssh -X ...." then any GUI apps you open on Ubuntu will show up on Windows instead [13:02] And I'm allowing EVERYONE to connect, no restrictions. [13:03] Laney_Family: thats what X-forwarding means [13:03] yusti cantik [13:03] joecurlee, start with lsusb [13:03] Instead of CYGWIN, one can use 'xming' and do a simielr thing.. with much less hassle. :) [13:03] Laney_Family, NX Rocks [13:04] cliebow: cool, it sees my bluetooth [13:04] mozz_: francais? hrvatski? deutsch? [13:04] is there anyone here from the community council? [13:04] I was trying nx but could not get it to connect, any assistance there? [13:04] !id | mozz_ [13:04] mozz_: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [13:05] is there anyone here from the community council? [13:05] Pici: how do you know what language he's speaking? [13:05] ok so now I have confirmed with lsusb that my bluetooth dongle is recognized by ubuntu, but I'm still not picking up on the apple keyboard... is there a way to browse devices? [13:05] macogw: I have a script that does a whois on his host and grabs the country field from that. [13:05] is there anyone here from the community council?? [13:05] ubuntuwestbengal: Probably not at this time. [13:06] Pici: oo ook i /whois'd but didnt notice it [13:06] ok [13:06] what is "this time" 2 pm? [13:06] Wander_w: huh? [13:06] UTC [13:06] Zulu time [13:06] its 8 am here in the usa [13:06] ubuntuwestbengal: its 1pm UTC [13:06] Wander_w: The CC is very busy, they don't usually (ever) hang out in here. [13:06] Dr_willis: ah ok, that explains :) [13:06] its 630pm here in india [13:07] Dr_willis: where are you? [13:07] macogw, Indiana [13:07] i checked in the #ubuntu-meeting [13:07] noone there [13:07] Dr_willis: do you switch time zones? [13:07] joecurlee, guess ya have to figure out what module it needs..and see if lsmod shows it loaded [13:07] Anyone feel like helping me with my sound problem? Audigy 2 ZS, didn't had sound, troubleshoot and got sound back, now it is gone again. [13:07] joecurlee: lsmod | grep blu [13:07] cliebow, any idea how to setup NX?

SSH hasn't been working since (even though I've commented out my changes [13:08] hi , how i can install fonts , i used Ubuntu , is windows fonts work with the same ? [13:08] Dr_willis: how do you proceed if u want e.g. to change the password for watt you set up ? Only the right icon i do not have ? [13:08] macogw, indiana is so confused on that issue. we have some counties that Do, some dont, and so forth. We used to switch zones,, so we never changed our clocks.. Now we got counties next to each other that have 1 hr differance in time. [13:08] Faileas, what does that mean? [13:08] Dr_willis: which is your county? [13:09] ubuntuwestbengal: The next meeting is scheduled for 20:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda for more details. [13:09] Laney_Family: there should be a howto,and a listing of repos there [13:09] @now [13:09] Current time in Etc/UTC: February 21 2008, 13:09:10 - Next meeting: Desktop Team in 50 minutes [13:09] Pici: he peft [13:09] faileas: pfft. [13:09] faileas: :) [13:09] *left [13:09] magouero, the extent of me using kwallet it it asking to rember my passwords. and wanting a master password that i enter.. then i leave it alone.. only entering my mawster password once i login. Anything else. Id have to go read the kde help docs on it. and im not in kde right now - so i cant do that. [13:09] Laney_Family: i took the debs from nomachine..that will only alllow two users.. [13:09] Anyone have an idea? [13:10] <_Oz_> HALLLOOOOOO Ubuntu friends! [13:10] * faileas takes away _Oz_ sugar [13:10] * _Oz_ roars into #ubuntu like a red-hot cannonball shot from a distant pirate ship in the bay. [13:10] watch out...watch out [13:10] how to check my gnome version? [13:11] Dr_willis: ok i understand. Anyway: thanks very much for your help. [13:11] does anyone know a good sony ericsson mobile phone manager that works on ubuntu? I tried using the windows version under wine but had no luck :( I need to edit some system files [13:11] <_Oz_> shinobi2: I think it's "sudo check gnome-version" [13:11] macogw: i'm seeing bluetooth listed there, but still no keyboard control? I'm assuming the lsmod info is for the dongle? [13:11] <_Oz_> or "sudo gnome-version" [13:11] <_Oz_> something like that. [13:11] #amarok [13:11] joecurlee: lsmod tells what drivers (kernel modules) are loaded [13:12] join #amarok [13:12] <_Oz_> bluetooth this, bluetooth that. What are people using linux + bluetooth for these days? [13:12] joecurlee: do you have bluezutils or any GUI program for setting up the bluetooth devices? [13:12] hello [13:12] I just got a new computer [13:12] macogw: yes @ bluezutils [13:12] but I have no sound [13:12] how do I fix this? [13:12] Okay, I messed with hosts.allow and deny. SSH hasn't been working since (even though I've commented out my changes) [13:12] _Oz_: so they can have unencrypted transmissions from their wireless keyboards to their computers so that anyone within 20 feet can see everything they type [13:12] _Oz_: nope, am still trying [13:12] _Oz_ it's hardware I have lying around and want it so that I can use mythtv from the couch [13:13] <_Oz_> macogw: bluetooth for keyboards? Why not just use IR or some other method like that? [13:13] _Oz_: because "Bluetooth" is a buzzword and "I [13:13] <_Oz_> joecurleee: kinda like a remote control? I dig. [13:13] _Oz_: and "IR" isnt, so its easier to sell things that say "Bluetooth" [13:13] <_Oz_> macogw: excellent point. [13:13] e [13:13] We need BlueIR! [13:13] <_Oz_> All of this bluetooth hype seems a little... fruity. [13:13] hiya [13:14] <_Oz_> Bluetooth is useful for cell phones and headsets. That's about it. [13:14] _Oz_: because i don't have a remote control, I'm sick of cranking my head back at a 90% angle to see the tv while i type because i'm right up on it, and the bluetooth keyboard and dongle have been sitting around the house for about 3 years now... might as well use it [13:14] _Oz_: just like how nobody "writes applications" anymore. Instead, they "develop solutions." [13:14] <_Oz_> macogw: yeah, and it's uncool to call it a "program" [13:14] Bluetooth could of been a lot more usefull. if all the makers put the things built in to all the pc's and laptops' and printers, and scanners, and..... [13:14] :) [13:14] * _Oz_ and macogw find themselves remarkably in sync. [13:14] !ot [13:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:14] bluetooth dosen't need LOS, like IR [13:14] hiya pici. [13:15] eth01: Hiyas eth01 [13:15] is there a command, hot-key to bring out shutdown menu, instead of clicking the green man on the corner all the time? [13:15] hi pici [13:15] <_Oz_> Dr_willis: it'd be better to simply use wireless networking for those applications. [13:15] i agree [13:15] shinobi2: You may be able to find something in System>Preferences>Keyboard Short cuts [13:15] _Oz_: have you tried using bluezutils? all bluezutils ever told me was "the website lied, this computer didnt come with bluetooth" [13:15] <_Oz_> macogw: heheheheh [13:16] Okay, I messed with hosts.allow and deny. SSH hasn't been working since (even though I've commented out my changes) [13:16] Hi alll.....I just installed " apt-get install kde " in 7.04 , what should i do nest to have my ubuntu start in GUI mode and how do i start the kde ? [13:16] wow, obnoxious. came here for quick bluetooth support before i go off to my job, not a discussion on whether or not it's worth using. thanks for the help [13:17] bluetooth designed as a serial replacement. and it's pretty good at it's job.. === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [13:17] vikku: if you want a complete system targetted towards KDE install this: kubuntu-desktop [13:17] Pici: it says, control-alt delete, but no work here [13:18] Pici: it says, control-alt L to lock screen, that one works [13:18] joeythesaint: sorry that one about "have you used bluezutils?" was supposed to go to you [13:19] ack wrong joe [13:19] and no offence, but for the small amount of data being sent for most of the usual apps, bluetooth is quite adequate.. as for using wireless networking for many of those things: I've seen that done, and in 99%of cases, it's done badly, it's expensive, and it gets dated VERY quickly [13:19] Wander_w : ok , but then i need all the guidance on how to start the service and bboot in gui everytime i log in , will i need to edit any file [13:19] macogw: No worries. I didn't think I'd been asking anything for which "bluezutils" would be an answer. [13:19] :-) [13:19] plen0x_: Have you restarted networking since you made those changes? [13:20] Pici: my whole computer, even [13:20] vikku: I believe that you just have to install that one package and you'd be done [13:20] wander_w : gr8, i'll try it in a while [13:21] thnks much wander_w [13:21] no problem [13:21] bware though, it might be a big download [13:21] irc.efnet.net [13:21] ok [13:22] Colin2: you have to put /connect before you put the server === gold44 is now known as shinobi2 [13:22] Pici: it's a bug.

Ubuntu doesnt recognise it, what's the best drivers to use?? [13:25] sry [13:26] NixonInnes: have you tried system -> admin -> restricted driver manager? [13:26] you can download the official drivers for linux from nvidia.com and install them [13:26] thanks, i'll give it a try [13:26] i have that caard [13:26] restricted drivers comes up with "i dont need any" [13:26] NixonInnes: the restricted manager is easier than nvidia.com's driver [13:26] i download new kernel ;) [13:27] and nvidia drivers [13:27] NixonInnes: ok then in that case you have to kill X all the way as i just told prince_jammys, and follow umm [13:27] !nvidia | NixonInnes [13:27] NixonInnes: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:27] NixonInnes: from that page, go to the Manual HowTo [13:28] Can anyone help me connect my HP M307 camera ? Seems my comp can't find it [13:29] hi.. is there anyway i can select which packages i want to be installed for my ubuntu install? it seems to install a lot of apps which i never use. In debian, I used to be able to pick packages manually, and let it download/install only those.. is this possible in ubuntu? [13:30] good afternoon, i've got a prob with my laptop's gfx card as ubuntu won't recognize it and gives me a shitty resolution [13:30] Blastur: you can do a server install then pick what you want from there [13:30] Blastur: i'm not sure there is a way, other than making a basic install and then building on that with what you want [13:31] macogw, ok, cool.. can i still install a desktop with the server install? [13:31] Blastur: "server install" just means no GUI...it might also mean you have to chroot in afterwards with a livecd and install the generic kernel because the server kernel expects PAE and freaks out (kernel panic on boot) if your hardware doesnt support PAE [13:31] Blastur: you can install a GUI afterward [13:31] PAE? thats the 4 GB ram hack for x86, right? [13:32] i wonder how the 'jeos' ubuntu install handles that. [13:32] Blastur: i think it might offer "desktop environment" in tasksel, but then itd just install Ubuntu's regular ubuntu-desktop meta-package, which it sounds like you dont want [13:32] Blastur: yes [13:32] prince_jammys: how do I tell the installer to simply install basic install? [13:32] i think my problem is I just upgraded my gfx card from the 8400 GS to the 8800 GT, should i uninstall all the nvidia packages [13:32] prince_jammys: by "basic install" do you mean the server install im suggesting? or is there something i ont know about? [13:33] NixonInnes: no but you should reconfigure X [13:33] hi guys [13:33] NixonInnes: its probably looking for the old card [13:33] Blastur: you need a different cd, i think there is a text-mode install as well as a server install. either should do [13:33] how'd i do that? [13:33] okay.. and what does the basics include? [13:33] Oh my GOD! You killes Kenny? [13:33] linux for human beings [13:34] <_Oz_> macogw: heheheheh [13:34] Blastur: get the alternative install cd, and select CLI only install [13:34] oki [13:34] thanks [13:34] prince_jammys, Blastur: i think the only text-only system after install is the server one. there's a server cd that does that, alternate which uses debian's text installer but results in a gui system, and the live cd which has a gui installer and results in a gui system [13:34] !install | Blastur [13:34] Blastur: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[13:34] can anyone help. im trying to get 2 monitors working. they are fine, just on the wrong side of each other and "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf" left or right makes no difference [13:34] Dr_willis: neither have i [13:35] macogw: that's what i thought - but somebody here told me otherwise. [13:35] Dr_willis: maybe its just kubuntu, thats where I saw it [13:35] i can upload my xorg.conf if it helps? [13:35] h00ligan, be sure to totally restart the X server, and I used the nvidia configuration tool to set my xorg.conf file up properly [13:36] yeah did that all [13:36] * BratJan YEY!!!! MY FIRST TRUE CHRISTIAN YBUNTU!!!! [13:36] h00ligan, i think the nvidia tool for me set them up a little differently then the leftof/rightof way. [13:36] ooo [13:36] a nie nie Nvida ma cos zepsute z rozdzielczoscia lepiej uwazaj h00ligan [13:37] but if i use the nvidia tool, my toolbars span accross the two screens, thats something im trying to avoid [13:37] !pl | BratJan [13:37] BratJan: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [13:37] Blastur: the server install will definitely work, because i've done it. but check out the other stuff available [13:37] h00ligan, Mine did that UNTILL i tottally restarted the X server. [13:37] acha [13:37] im downloading alternative iso now [13:37] h00ligan, they no longer did that afterwards. (under gnome and kde at least) [13:37] where can i find geubuntu wallpaper? --> http://www.thecodingstudio.com/opensource/linux/screenshots/thumbnails/Geubuntu%207.10/16.gif [13:38] thx jakie to fajne i chrzescijanskie!!!

[13:38] Blastur: yeah that's the text-mode install. the question is whether it will auto install the stuff you don't want or not [13:38] Blastur: i gotta say, the error message the kernel gives when it panics about lack of PAE is a very non-obvious error message: Panic! CPU too old! [13:38] err backspace [13:38] how do I choose what to prioritize downloading? for example, I want to make the download of a youtube video faster by prioritizing it. how do I do it? there's a windows app that does that [13:39] macogw: okay, i run a core2duo cpu in this system, do you it supports PAE? [13:39] Blastur: its 64bit, so probably. i got the error on a pentium M [13:39] Hello there [13:39] !info trickle | wers [13:39] wers: trickle (source: trickle): user-space bandwidth shaper.

[13:40] thanks, erUSUL! :) [13:40] patogen, use the umask or uid/gid options [13:40] ubuntu is complaining that it is running in low graphics mode because it couldn't detect my gfx card [13:40] patogen: in /etc/fstab make "user" one of the options [13:40] patogen: oh wait that lets non-root mount it [13:41] ok go to root [13:41] patogen: how did the permissions issue go? [13:41] It doesn't matter if non-root is able to mount it [13:41] patogen: set GID on it when you mount it to a group which all your normal users are in [13:41] erUSUL: I stand corrected, Thanks.

I do not use it myself [13:43] patogen: you can set gid=x where x is the group id number for a group all your users are in [13:43] *such [13:43] patogen: then on your mount point (in my case /media/disk/) chown it so that the group is that group you set in /etc/fstab [13:43] Hi All [13:43] davmonster, theres the ubuntu training book - in teacher/student edition (about 400 pages) thata avail for free/psdf format. at the ubuntu training wiki page. [13:43] patogen: and chmod the mount point to, say, 664 so that the group can write to it too [13:43] patogen: you can replace UUID with /dev/blah for your device [13:44] hi [13:44] knox hi [13:44] is that part of the LPI course?

I dont think it works. :P try it and see [13:46] sorry, the Ubuntu training book [13:46] macogw If you are talking about thumb drives, it is already restrected to those that belong to plugdev [13:46] okay okay excuse me please tell me about one chanle about this games [13:46] is that part of the LPI syllabus? [13:47] the ubuntu specfic exams? [13:47] RemoteViewer: i chmod the mount point that i have created on the ext3 drive. i dont chmod *inside* the usb drive [13:47] !games | joe_satriani [13:47] joe_satriani: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [13:47] Dr_willis: read that^ [13:47] macogw: So just don't include anyone in group plugdev that you don't want to access the thumb drives. [13:47] davmonster: the ubuntu specific exams are only for after youve already taken the first 1 maybe 2 levels of LPI [13:48] i need help with vnc over ssh, i have followed the guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH but all i get is a blank screen in X [13:48] macogw, for ext3 its ok. :) niot ntfs/vfat [13:48] davmonster: the ubuntu training things that recently were released are more on teh beginner side [13:48] ta === toph is now known as asd123toph [13:48] Dr_willis: well you have to mkdir the mount point, right? so i mkdir the mount point and make it writable, then mount the flash drive to there. i cant mount it to there if its not writable [13:49] macogw, yes. the mountpoint dir MUST exist. but the permissions on that dir - have no affect on the permissions of the mountpoint/filesystem once you mount it. [13:49] i cant go out from this channel please kick me :-s [13:49] davmonster: at least, i think they are...it said a bunch of stuff in the intro about using it in a classroom [13:49] can any1 help me get my wireless card and graphics card working properly? [13:49] Dr_willis: but they do have an effect on your ability to mount to that point at all [13:49] macogw, chmod +whatvber /media/mnt will NOT be in affect after you mount somthing to /media/mnt [13:49] joe_satriani: /part [13:50] macogw, never noitced. :) thats what the 'user' option is for. [13:50] yeah I know about the LPI [13:50] I'm set to take it this year [13:50] Dr_willis: no if you do it as root you dont need to make it writable because well..root can do anything [13:50] hello [13:50] Dr_willis: its when you have the user option that the user has to be able to access the mount point to put the drive there [13:50] joerlend_, /part [13:50] macogw, ive never had to mess with the modes of any mountpoint that i can rember. :) user lets users mount.. otherwise root needs it.. correct. [13:50] macogw: do you know which would be some good books in order to train for the ubuntu-specific stuff? [13:51] err oops [13:51] thanks [13:51] davmonster: good luck. they need to revise it. who worries about IRQs on a 2.6 kernel? and who cares about winmodems? why are you using dialup on your server? [13:51] can anyone help me with vnc over ssh? [13:51] hi folks [13:51] how can i retain the volumes that have been mounted from other file systems on my ubuntu [13:51] ?

[13:54] can any1 help me get my wireless card and graphics card working properly please? [13:54] macogw: at least, I hope it will :) [13:54] hi, my sound card is an EMU 1212m, I have installed all of the ALSA drivers, and tools, when I do asoundconf list, the only driver shown is EMU1010, while sounds are played, they are pitched to a high speed. IE; the music is faster than it really is. has anyone encountered this? [13:54] prince_jammys: Yep, and know my system is up and everything works as it should :) [13:54] macogw: I'm just looking for good linux books so that HR can buy them for me :) [13:54] hc: you'er in for a ride :-\ [13:55] you're* [13:55] EnvoyRising: meaning it's quite a challenge? [13:55] when i open a session of vnc over ssh all i can see is a blank X screen? [13:55] davmonster: the hardest part will *definitely* be the stuff about outdated hardware that causes trouble on outdated kernels that nobody uses anymore and that you therefore would get *no* real-world experience with unless you just like trying to install 10 year old releases for fun [13:55] hc: it certainly isn't fun, depending on the cards, lol [13:55] patogen: regarding yesterday's:: you don't need to mess with permissions too much, especially outside of your home dir. also avoid making "bulk" permissions changes without a lot of care [13:55] what am i doing wrong? [13:56] prince_jammys: Hehe I noticed. Everything broke ;) [13:56] hc: that isn't saying we won't help though :P we'll always give it a shot...we aren't microsoft [13:56] EnvoyRising: yeah i was afraid of that. the graphics card is a nvidia 7000m, the wireless card is an atheros 5007 [13:56] (ok, cheap shot, but i gotta get my daily lickin's in [13:56] haha yeah i know :) [13:56] hence why i'm tryin to switch over ;-) [13:56] patogen: read this:: http://www.linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php [13:56] patogen: to understand what the numbers mean, etc [13:56] hc: actually, that'll be quite easy. i could have sworn atheros worked out of box on linux.. as for nvidia, there's a package [13:56] also: tryin to update apt fails with timestamp to far in the future? [13:57] EnvoyRising: yeah so i was told, but unfortunately it fails :( as for nvidia, i can't update nor install since that timestamp error [13:58] hc: for that one we're going to need command line output => pasted to paste.ubuntu-nl.org [13:58] is anyone willing to help me? ;) [13:58] ok [13:58] prince_jammys: I know what the numbers mean. They are hexadecimal, 4 = read, 2 = write, 1 = execute and 4+2+1 = 7 so 7 means read write execute. First number is owner, second is group and third is other right? So for instance 770 would me owner plus the group is allowed to read, write, execute. Last 0 means that others can't touch it. [13:58] DirtyMonkey, depends on how you are sta4rting vnc. You may need to make a .vnc/xstartup script that launches a proper window manager. I tend to use jwm [13:58] davmonster: if i have a spare $300 sitting around at the end of the semester ill take it. i figure getting the cert is the only way to get around the HR jerks who say "only 2 years experience with linux? we asked for 7!" and dont get that 7 years of playing around with it for 15 minutes a week v. using it for *everything* for 2 years...the immersion's going to help, and being a fast learner can never be looked at as a *bad* quality, right? [13:58] prince_jammys: But I was really really tired yesterday and just ran it on auto when somebody told me that it would work :) [13:58] hc: first, we'll start with the graphics card, just because just the word wireless sends me into a post traumatic stress spiral [13:58] patogen: yes, and a directory needs "x" in order to be opened [13:59] EnvoyRising: okay ... :p [13:59] oh not hexa but octa [13:59] DirtyMonkey: "willing" and "capable of" are two different things [13:59] hc: easiest way i'd say is to launch the restricted-manager and enable the proprietary driver, then restart [13:59] how do I open .chm files in ubuntu? (similar to .pdf) [13:59] hello every body [14:00] DirtyMonkey, ive seen vnc set uo a xtartup scruot that runs twm , which is NOT isntalled by default [14:00] EnvoyRising: been there, enabled, reboot --> no luck :( [14:00] so can help me ? [14:00] i've some sound pb ... [14:00] reikalusikka: if theyre like pdf, evince should be able to open them [14:00] hc: what error gets thrown? [14:00] an mysterious disappearing .. [14:00] How can i completely uninstall KDE ? I have Gnome and KDE i want to get rid of KDE ? [14:00] reikalusikka, those are compresed MS HELP files. :) theres several viewers in the package manager that can read them [14:00] macogw: I agree.. [14:00] Dr_willis: oh thank you :) [14:00] hc: you don't see the nvidia splash window or what? [14:00] reikalusikka: internet says theyre compiled HTML files [14:00] spash screen* [14:01] macogw: hmm, I tried to open them with the basic tool but didn't work [14:01] how can i determine which version i'm running, from a shell?

[14:02] davmonster: those two are "textbooks" for my class [14:02] yes, sec [14:03] macogw: I think what you were looking for is this; sudo groupadd wheel ; sudo mkdir /mnt/memstick ; sudo chown root:wheel /mnt/memstick and then specify wheel in fstab [14:03] davmonster: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz [14:03] macogw: But still dont think that'll do what you really want.

[14:06] EnvoyRising: quick question: sudo fails most of the time with an error about timestamp in the future ... quick solution by any chance? [14:06] Can anyone help me connect my HP M307 camera ? Seems my comp can't find it [14:06] usr13: thats where i mount mine anyway [14:06] !ask | jl [14:06] jl: 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. :-) [14:06] is chroot considered a deprecated solution for running 32 bit apps? [14:06] hc Check your system clock. [14:06] macogw: O [14:06] usr13: riiiiiiight didnt even notice that it was off [14:06] ty [14:07] usr13: no gnome = no HAL automounting things for me [14:07] ok ubotu , so I don't know why but my sound disappears [14:07] macogw: What window manager are you using? [14:07] usr13: so after about a week of having to sudo mount and sudo cp i went and poked fstab into shape [14:07] usr13: fluxbox [14:07] magicrobotmonkey: yes, a lot of those docs and ebooks are available through apt [14:08] i should rephrase that. i am banging my head against the wall trying to get 32 bit eclipse running on my 64 bit machine - which has plenty of dependencies. i'm considering 32 bit chroot as an alternative to this mess. is that a good idea or not? [14:08] martin_: its java [14:08] Pici: all in alsamixer is ok .. [14:08] martin_: what is there about it that can be 32 or 64 bit? [14:08] macogw, the flex plugin refuses to install on 64 bit eclipse [14:09] martin_: flex? is that some language nobody told me exists? [14:09] macogw, ie - a 64 bit jvm, specifically (i think) [14:09] macogw: Well, b4 plugdev we just mkdir /mnt/memstick and make entry in fstab and set to user [14:09] macogw, if that's not a joke, it's a flash alternative. [14:09] EnvoyRising: ok rebooted .. no spash screen ... but i got horrid small letters when loggin in... [14:10] martin_: 64bit jvm... hmmm.. um have you tried using icedtea instead of sun? since its open source and sun (at least version 6, which is the last one released) isn't, it might be available 64bit [14:10] hc, you back yet? [14:10] EnvoyRising: and i can't get a decent resolution on my screen ... it seems stuck at 640*480 [14:10] martin_: ooo you mean flex is the jvm youre using? [14:10] macogw, produced by adobe. without going into detail - if i can get it running so i can move away from flash as a dev platform, i can ditch windows for good, but this is a dealbreaker for me [14:10] macogw, no, i'm using (several) sun jre(s) [14:11] macogw: /dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick auto noauto,user 0 0 [14:11] macogw, flex is a RIA platform - but i need it as an eclipse plugin [14:11] <_Oz_> HALLLOOOOOO Ubuntu friends! [14:11] EnvoyRising_: yeah ... [14:11] <_Oz_> hc: do you have an nvidia card? [14:11] _Oz_ yeah [14:12] <_Oz_> hc: did you get the nvidia restricted driver? [14:12] macogw: and just leave root:root /mnt/memstick [14:12] martin_: ok well have you seen http://rachaelandtom.info/node/1485 [14:12] _Oz_ yes enabled those [14:12] hc: your config file is wrong [14:12] how do i burn a ..nrg file? [14:12] <_Oz_> hc: have you run the nvidia setup? [14:12] EnvoyRising_ i was afraid so ... solution? [14:12] it is configured for fail safe. [14:12] macogw, no- but i have followed very similar instuctions. i'll brb [14:13] <_Oz_> hc: even though this is for twin monitors it still gets you up and running on an nvidia card: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [14:13] hc: by chance did you get a blue screen of death that said something to the effect of x could not be configured? [14:13] EnvoyRising_: they made the failsafe X screen blue??? [14:13] <_Oz_> Gotta run, Ubuntu friends! [14:13] macogw: it was on my friends computer the other day [14:13] EnvoyRising_: no bsod, but then i'm probably thinking m$ version of it [14:13] jay-oh-en, convert them to iso. but if its a game or other special cd - you wull lose the specal info. [14:14] prince_jammys: Now I've got a fully loaded mp3-player :) Really nice with the help you get :) [14:14] i did get a warning at first startup about not being able to configure desktop/screen/gfx [14:14] hc: we can fix this a few ways.. first thing you should do is back up your fail safe config [14:14] hc: he doesnt really mean BSOD... the linux version of a BSOD is black and says "Panic!"...he just means an ugly blue screen with big text [14:14] ok done (copied it to /home/iositd/backup) [14:14] hc: in command prompt: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [14:15] EnvoyRising_: that should be sudo'd right? [14:15] hc: well move it to /etc/X11 just to save you some typing later, lol (have to be root) [14:15] hc yes sudo [14:15] patogen: :) (except that other "help" you got) [14:15] done [14:16] is there a nice gnome applet that will help me figure when 17:00 UTC is in local time? [14:16] prince_jammys: Well it was "help" in the way that it thought me to be more careful ;) [14:16] Hi all. I bought a laptop with a 4GB RAM and I've downloaded one kernel source and compiled for enabling support for EAP but sound doesn't work now. Where is ALSACONF? :) [14:16] i installed a new sata hard drive to my system, it is formated ntfs. eventually i couldn't mount it because an error appears "unable to mount the volum" in details it says that "$LogFile indicates unclear shutdown (0, 0) Failed to mount '/dev/sdb5': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS in marked to be in use." [14:16] any familiar with totem? for some reason it's unable to play rmvb(real media) files saying problem occurred while loading a library or a decoder (cook.so)?? [14:16] hc: ok, in the original version of the config file (the non backup) scroll down the the screen section [14:16] ok [14:16] macogw, it's complaining about not having gtk-2 in my lib32 directory [14:17] macogw, can i symlink that do you think? [14:17] whats the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu ultimate edition === never|mobi is now known as neversfelde [14:17] martin_: probably if you know where it is [14:17] where is alsaconf, please? [14:17] hc: wow, actually, yours is a bit different than mine... scroll down further were it says "section device" just past the serverlayout section [14:17] Viktorious: existense? [14:17] Viktorious: ultimate has all the de's included [14:17] change driver from "vesa" to "nvidia" [14:17] Viktorious: someone added a bunch of extra stuff and repackaged the "ultimate edition" [14:18] !ultimage | Viktorious [14:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about ultimage - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:18] !ultimate | Viktorious [14:18] Viktorious: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [14:18] macogw, i'll try symlinking it to the 64 bit lib. this is the sort of stuff i'm trying to avoid, but... meh. b0rkdom here i come... [14:18] you running dual displays or something hc, your config file looks all kind of foobar [14:18] KL3B3R, try in /usr/share/alsa [14:18] EnvoyRising_: the one with PCI:0:18:0? [14:19] does totem player have an IRC channel? [14:19] EnvoyRising_: no [14:19] hc: crap, i closed paste bin. it should only say "vesa" in one location [14:19] Trashlord thanks, I'll try [14:20] np [14:20] ctrl + f for "vesa" then replace. [14:20] hello [14:20] boo [14:20] EnvoyRising_: under driver sections? [14:20] hey guys, isn't there a command to auto regen the xorg config file? i can't remember it off the top of my head [14:20] hc: correct [14:20] EnvoyRising [14:20] I want to install Netbeans 6. Should I install Netbeans 5.5 from the repository and then manually upgrade it to 6, or download the 6 version from sun's site? [14:20] EnvoyRising_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:20] EnvoyRising_, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:21] thats it [14:21] jaxon, it's a gnome project, try going to gnome channel [14:21] i prefer ubuntu packages from repo but, i want the newest version. [14:21] EnvoyRising_: ok done [14:21] hc: see? this is why i love the linux community. i get a correct answer, and i get it multiple times [14:21] reboot or ctrl backspace? [14:21] vix85: you can just grab from sun's site [14:21] hc: you can restart now. but i'd recommend rerunning the command i just asked for [14:21] macogw, okay. but how do i add the netbeans command to my shell ? [14:21] macogw, okay, now complaint about svg_loader.so not being in the gtk lib - and it isnt. presumably it *is* in the 32 bit lib.... got any suggestions about adding it? [14:21] compengi: cheers [14:21] If i do it that way. [14:22] vix85: the deb way is probably a bit easier to uninstall but "manually updating" sounds like downloading it from there anyway [14:22] i installed a new sata hard drive to my system, it is formated ntfs. eventually i couldn't mount it because an error appears "unable to mount the volum" in details it says that "$LogFile indicates unclear shutdown (0, 0) Failed to mount '/dev/sdb5': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS in marked to be in use." any idea on to make the partition mount? [14:22] macogw, thats true. [14:22] martin_: you can install the 32bit GTK libs [14:22] EnvoyRising_: yeah, i love the community as well ... since this is why i want to switch to linux :) [14:22] also: rebooting now [14:22] compengi: best run a fsck on the volume [14:22] vix85: if its in your $PATH you can just run it === helpme is now known as lovemedo [14:23] vix85: echo $PATH and youll see a bunch of paths all over the system like /usr/bin...anything in those directories can be run by name [14:23] it wasnt last time, i tried it. [14:23] compengi: but i dont use NTFS so doing fsck might blow the hard drive away [14:23] How can i install nero for linux [14:23] I need to reinstall my ubuntu and last time I did it I got grublist error 22 and took me forever to fix it .. how do I circumvent getting that error after deleting part ? [14:23] compengi, do you have a windows dual boot on that machine? you might need to start windows and let that run its error check to clear the in use flag [14:23] hc: i think for fixing your resolution probs as well you should run the reconfig script.. [14:23] eugen_: lotsa good apps besides nero [14:23] eugen_: does it have to be nero or do you just want some cd burner and heard nero exists for linux? [14:23] eugen_: cuz gnomebaker's nice [14:23] eugen no need try the others like k3b gnomebaker etc [14:23] brasero looks fine too as a cd burning app [14:24] dgjones, yes i do have windows dual boot [14:24] EnvoyRising_: ok, commands? [14:24] macogw, this is what i mean about 32 bit versions. jvm, firefox, gtk - etc etc. would you advise against chroot environment to solve this ? [14:24] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:24] hc: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:24] martin_: im honestly not sure how youd make a chroot do that [14:24] Is there any way i can upgrade my Xubuntu using the Gutsy cd? [14:24] don't you have to pay for nero for linux? [14:24] from the driver list it should let you pick nvidia (NOT nv) and also config the resolution.. doing it this way, at least you know for a fact the correct section got changed, hooah? [14:24] I downloaded the Live CD version and was wondering if i could upgrade without resorting to a format, or downloading from the Internet. [14:25] dgjones, but i have a very low space on that partition and i need to copy over 20G of data [14:25] macogw, well, as i understand it, you produce a completely 32 bit environment, with synaptic32 which recognises the chroot environment as 32 bit, and allows debs to be installed [14:25] hc: please ignore the hooah... read as "right?"... damned army infecting even my nerd life [14:25] lovemedo: from what to what? feisty to gutsy? [14:25] martin_: go for it [14:25] hc: sorry i didn't think of it soone [14:25] sooner [14:25] compengi, go into windows and see if you can access the drive, run the disk checker and then see if you can access it from ubuntu afterwards [14:25] martin_: i dont have 64bit hardware to perform those types of experiments [14:25] EnvoyRising_: hooah? what i miss? [14:25] macogw, its not so much from laziness i want to do it, more from the point of view of keeping everything nice and neat, and automatically updated etc [14:25] oh that [14:25] dgjones, Okay, i'll try that [14:26] macogw, and not trusting myself to remember anything i did a week ago :S [14:26] bazhang: Yes sir. [14:26] well i figured out the keyring password thing: http://magicrobotmonkey.blogspot.com/2008/02/chaging-your-password-on-gnome-keyring.html [14:26] compengi, if there are errors on the drive, windows chkdsk should sort them out so that you can mount it afterward in ubuntu [14:26] macogw, okay. well, sod it, i'm going to try it and i'll let you know how i go.... [14:26] bazhang: Feisty 7.04 [14:26] compengi: dgjones: there should be ways to check NTFS from within Ubuntu [14:26] hc: lol. again, sorry. do the config script and we can kill two birds with one stone - get your nvidia recognized and fix your resolution [14:26] dgjones, aha.. === a_ is now known as cufaf [14:26] EnvoyRising_: ok i'm doint hat now [14:27] lovemedo: you certainly can upgrade via the net from fiesty to gutsy; /msg ubotu upgrade for the link [14:27] hc: while you're doing that, i'ma track down stuff on that atheros card, ok? [14:27] amount of memory used? should set that lik eit's in my mobo? [14:27] EnvoyRising_: ok thanks :) [14:27] hc: model number again? [14:27] bazhang: is it possible to upgrade from the Live Cd? i have gutsy in a cd [14:27] martin_: k good luck [14:27] err feisty [14:27] donald_, there should be, but as ntfs isn't a native format of linux, better to let MS do the fixing [14:27] 5007 ... if i remember right EG ont he end [14:27] lovemedo the live cd no [14:27] lovemedo: cant upgrade from a livecd [14:28] lovemedo: can only use alternate cds as repositories for upgrades [14:28] thanks macogw and bazhang [14:28] np [14:28] lovemedo: the live cd doesnt have enough of the packages and isnt arranged in repository form for it like the alternate is [14:28] guys my java compiler is running fine and but when i run java command it says class not found error! how is this possible? i also tried specifying the classpath but then it gave another error Unsupportedclassversion [14:28] EnvoyRising_: use kernel framebuffer device interface? (dont hav a clue what it does) [14:29] nanbudh: your compiler probably is fine. your CLASSPATH might be wrong though [14:29] nanbudh: or youre trying to import a package you dont have [14:29] hc: no [14:29] could u give a tip ? i am a bit new to this [14:30] i am just starting with a simple hello world main function. the first step [14:30] nanbudh: you can do "export $CLASSPATH=.:$CLASSPATH" to add "current directory" to your classpath [14:30] hc: and for your reference- http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-4.html we don't give answers here without reasons to match :P [14:30] nanbudh: if you put that in ~/.bashrc itll always do it [14:30] nanbudh: then it can find classes youve written in the directory you're in instead of only in standard places [14:31] EnvoyRising_: thanks :) since this part of linux i'm new to, i prefer to ask then to guess ;-) [14:31] i'm having errors with apt-get: "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)" [14:32] hc: you'd be retarded not to ask first. np :P [14:32] Greetings [14:32] EnvoyRising_: oh i feel so welcome now :p [14:33] what can i use to make my stuff transparent ? [14:33] EnvoyRising_: write default files section to config files? [14:33] xrestassuredx: Either close out any other apt-gets/synaptics/package managers you have open or make sure that you prefix the command with sudo. [14:33] xrestassuredx: do you have more than one package manager open ie add/remove synaptic at the same time? [14:34] hc: yes [14:34] hc: we have backups right? ;-) [14:34] chris_bacon: what stuff do you mean [14:34] EnvoyRising_: yeah :-) [14:34] like my desktop [14:35] chris_bacon: you mean compiz? [14:35] sorry, not my desktop, but i mean like my terminal windows and aim windows [14:35] Hi I have ubuntu working. But my volume control will only show master and PCM.. so I cant do anything with my headphones or microphone. Is there anything else I need to do? [14:35] EnvoyRising_: it created a backup of it's own along mine :-) and it's done so i'm assuming reboot? [14:35] pici, bazhang: synaptic is not currently open, but I got the same error installing a package from in there. and yes i was running apt-get as sudo [14:36] !aptfix | xrestassuredx [14:36] xrestassuredx: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [14:36] chris_bacon: how transparent we talking? 80%? [14:37] thansk bazhang, compiz looks like what i was looking for [14:37] hola [14:37] chris_bacon: be sure to install ccsm [14:37] bazhang: should i replace /var/lib/dpkg/lock with /var/cache/apt/archives/lock ? [14:37] hc: open up the config file and make sure it says "nvidia" [14:37] alright [14:37] hi, could someone please recommend a wireless network card around 50 euro, pci connection, supporting n protocol and supported by ubuntu ? [14:37] I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good software apt-get source for someone in Wisconsin. [14:37] My source is running 3kB-15kB/s [14:38] chris_bacon: you can /msg ubotu ccsm to find out more [14:38] hola [14:38] thanks [14:38] xrestassuredx: the commands (two) that ubotu gave you should do the trick === EnvoyRising_ is now known as EnvoyRising_AFK [14:39] hello julio_ [14:39] EnvoyRising_AFK: yeah, winnar [14:39] thanks [14:40] What software sources is everyone using? Which ones would be fastest for someone in Wisconsin? [14:40] spaghetti_knife: If you are running gnome, you can use System>Administration>software sources to find the fastest/closest mirror [14:40] spaghetti_knife: the us archive most likely; are you having issues currently? [14:40] Yes, yes I am having troubles. [14:41] does anybody have a kernel package for gutsy that would have fixed nfs lock daemon? [14:41] does anyone know a place to go to add things to the mixer? right now i have only master and pcm. and only the playback tab. Do I need to install proprietary drivers or something? any help is appreciated. I am on gutsy === EnvoyRising_AFK is now known as EnvoyRising [14:41] is there a such a thing as "testing" repo for ubuntu? [14:41] hc: you're good to reboot too [14:41] Will the new Gnome 2.22 be included with Hardy? [14:41] ja_: Thats the plan. [14:41] hc: hopefully you noticed whether or not the set up gave you good resolutions too [14:41] !hardy | fatal- maybe this is what you are looking for [14:41] fatal- maybe this is what you are looking for: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [14:42] EnvoyRising: yeah, my resolutions are fixed now :-) [14:42] bazhang: now i have another problem: « sdebconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable » [14:42] bazhang: I'm changing software sources, and it's downloading packages, but it's doing so really slowly [14:42] ubotu: is hardy usable already? :) [14:42] is there a way to make an image of a hard drive during the installation of ubuntu to be used later inside vmware? [14:42] hc: so hopefully on restart your nvidia card will be good [14:42] does anybody know anything about samba ? [14:43] EnvoyRising: yeah, i already rebooted and it looks like it's running perfectly now [14:43] fatal-: if you want something usable, hardy is not for you :) [14:43] fatal-: he is a bot you know ;] [14:43] does anyone know how i can tell what sound drivers I am running?

[14:46] * N3bunel saluta [14:46] hi, I'm trying to get Symantec Backup Exec 11d Remote Agent to run on Ubuntu Server. I've done pretty much the same as 'dhoffman' explains in the first post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=330717 and I have the same problem he does. I can't get it to work the way he did though. Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix it? [14:47] EnvoyRising: any chance you found something concerning that atheros card? [14:47] hc: only that it should work out of the box, lol. gimme just a second...girl friend rings, lol [14:48] EnvoyRising: take your time, i've got all day :-) [14:48] selam [14:48] hiii all [14:49] I have a D-Link GLB-502T Router and my internet connection is setup over pppoe, can some one help me in resetting the IP of my connection without restarting the router??? Thanks for the help [14:50] is there any easy way to get ubuntu onto a usb stick from a windows or mac machine? [14:50] hc: open up a console and type "wlconfig" tell me what you get [14:50] katertot: oss drivers? i do not think so (you may have seen on the output of lsmod the oss emulation modules) what non free drivers are you refering too? [14:50] hey all, is there a way to encrypt just a single directory instead of your whole HDD? [14:50] EnvoyRising: command not found [14:50] spaghetti_knife: that will happen from time to time; I can get 200k/s down to 8000bytes/s; just a matter of luck I guess [14:51] hc: great :-| what about ifconfig? [14:51] Hi there, this is a silly question but I just want to put it to rest ... When I set the PATH in my environment variables, the higher priority directories come first, right? [14:51] hc that is the atheros_swan card iirc, the same one they use in the #eeepc ; not sure if it is part of madwifi yet [14:51] best php-editor where I can edit the pages online like I could in Dreamweaver.. I also like that the window can be splited so you have code on top and eg. layout below... any editing tool that can do so? [14:52] xrestassuredx: not sure about that second one; is your apt-get functionality back yet? [14:52] EnvoyRising: long list. eth0 (unused lanport atm) lo, wlan0 (of the adapter i stole from another pc) and wmaster0 [14:52] Frijolie: truecrypt [14:53] hc: so the wlan0 isn't the atheros card you're trying? [14:53] bazhang: it will do a single directory over an entire partition/HDD? [14:53] EnvoyRising: no it's a sitecom wg172 usb adapter [14:53] wlan0 and wmaster0 are the same card iirc [14:53] bazhang: confirmed. unplugging the usb card removes both wlan0 and wmaster0 [14:53] can some one please tell me how to reset the IP address for an ADSL connection, connected over pppoe?? [14:54] truecrypt is pretty nifty Frijolie you should check out their faq [14:54] bazhang: yes but you really must use wlan0 no master [14:54] hc: so you tried just the atheros, but it didn't work so you plugged in the usb adapter, right? [14:54] EnvoyRising: correct [14:54] bazhang: alright, I've never heard of it. I'm looking them up right now. [14:54] EnvoyRising: i have now uplugged the usb adapter so it can't get in the way [14:54] erUSUL: does that not mean that the proper driver is not loaded though? (the existence of both wlan and wmaster that is) [14:55] Frijolie: apparently there is a gui for linux or one coming soon [14:55] hc: i'm wanting to say the staple for ahteros cards is to use madwifi drivers.. is this a pcmia card or onboard? [14:55] EnvoyRising: onboard [14:56] everyone: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Make_a_real_difference_to_Ubuntu_with_5_A_Day [14:56] please go and digg it and join in the bug revolution :) [14:56] hc: good.. makes things slightly less complicated [14:56] hc: or more, considering i can't just say "buy a new card then" [14:56] jono thanks but offtopic ;] [14:56] !skype [14:56] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [14:56] jono: I'd normally say something about channel spam, but I'll let you slide ;) [14:56] :) [14:56] bazhang: hmm, I wonder if it will work...

[14:57] bazhang: can truecrypt encrypt/decrypt and pass them back and forth from the HDD to the application? [14:58] Frijolie: yes, truecrypt will transparently encrypt/decrypt data and function like a normal HDD [14:58] bazhang: atheros swan had modules that had to be activated didn't it? [14:58] bazhang: no, i'm still getting /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked errors [14:58] hc: ah, I'll have to check it out. Thanks [14:58] Frijolie: on the fly? perhaps, it has been a while since I used it and now is version 5.0 (new!) so best read what they have to say then trust me ;] [14:59] bazhang: i use it to encrypt my external drive and truecrypt can encrypt/decrypt on the fly without noticing any delays or lower speeds :-) [14:59] EnvoyRising: at least in the eeepc; should likely be same here though I think you have it right when you say the madwifi may work here for hc's card [14:59] hc tell Frijolie ;] [14:59] just did ;) [14:59] haha [14:59] anyone here that help me with a ubuntu install problem? [14:59] if i've installed SSH into a system booted with a live CD, what userid/password can I login remotely with (without adding users etc.) [15:00] bazhang: thanks [15:00] ask away skumlesen [15:00] EnvoyRising: thanks to you sir ;] [15:00] hc: got that handy dandy console up?

(general question -- nothing specific which requires the discussion to move to the other channel) [15:01] hi [15:01] I'm trying hardy [15:01] hc: bad news. i have a completely different card that doesn't require madwifi, so you'll be on your on from there [15:02] EnvoyRising: right [15:02] is there a default root password for the 7.10 live CD [15:02] hc: man is your friend though [15:02] (man is short for manual) [15:02] KaiForce: No [15:02] EnvoyRising: yeah i know :-) helped me more then once [15:03] is there a default user created (beyond root?) and does that user have a default password? [15:03] KaiForce: No [15:03] guest1: worth making the upgrade? [15:03] doh [15:03] woohoo [15:03] KaiForce: I dont believe sudo requires a password on the livecd. [15:04] i've got a 17 hour jobstream I need to run on a remote system booted with the live CD and the only thing added to it is SSH, how can I log in? [15:04] can anyone reccomend a good dvd playback software (that compiles with codecs) [15:04] EnvoyRising: there we go .. back on :-) [15:04] KaiForce: For the first 15min or so, I think, you can sudo adduser without a password prompt [15:04] warning: windows bashing moment: first time i ran linux, when I was advised to press F1 for help i grimmaced until I actually saw it. Go figure something that actually IS helpful. anyways, i've dropped that for the -help flag, and in turn for man [15:04] deeptrance, use VLC if you are not streaming over the network [15:04] !dvd > deeptrance (read the private message from ubotu) [15:04] deeptrance, if you are streaming over the network try "movie player" [15:05] TrustNoOne, no stream, just trying to get ubuntu to play dvd's i have installed vlc mplayer and totem [15:05] hc: so your wifi works now? [15:05] deeptrance, vlc has codecs built in, so it should work fine, if you do have problems with it, change the video stream to X11 [15:05] EnvoyRising: no, i just installed madwifi-tools and i'm tryin to find the right man entry [15:06] oh ok [15:06] TrustNoOne will try that now [15:06] Ich sitze gerade nackig vor meiner Webcam zu Hause .kuckt mal jetzt auf meine Homepage,das wird sicherlich Lustig: http://www.mandymaus.de [15:06] !de | MasterShrek [15:06] MasterShrek: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [15:06] MasterShrek: er, nevermind.

[15:14] I have an old hard drive from a crashed computer that was running CentOS. The hard drive is not what crashed. It is intact. [15:14] EnvoyRising: thanks, i found it on the madwifi site. All i got to do is manage to get it working now but it lists as working with my laptop model :-) [15:15] hc: nice! [15:15] I bought a new Dell Inspiron 530 (which does not support CentOS) and try to install the drive as second drive. [15:15] sTiVo, you poor soul [15:15] alguien que hable español, por favor? [15:15] burkmat: does running the command "/home/user/Desktop/blah/games/SM/StepMania-3.9/stepmania" in a shell work if you're current working directory is, say, your HOME?

[15:16] burkmat: yeah, and drop that somewhere in your path. You don't want /sbin since that's for admin stuff. [15:16] Computer boots up into Ubuntu, and fdisk can see the second drive. /dev/hdb exists as do /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hdb2 [15:16] burrito burrito, i speak spanish too [15:16] lol [15:16] However, [15:16] this drive was partitioned with Logical Volumes.

[15:17] wow erUSUL you sure do love using that [15:17] How to get around this. [15:18] burkmat: before you do that, did the command before work? [15:18] If this is not right chatroom to answer such question, can someone suggest another? [15:18] jrib, Yes. [15:18] sTiVo, i would answer you but i have no idea what the answer is [15:18] Hello!

[15:18] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Make_a_real_difference_to_Ubuntu_with_5_A_Day [15:18] jrib, I guess I could just copy the file into a PATH then, right? [15:18] burkmat: then you can just create a symlink. Do you know how to do that? [15:19] Is there another chatroom where such questions are more likely to be able to be answered? [15:19] sdsheeks: i'm the bot that triggers the bot XD [15:19] I've got all the intel drivers and dri stuff in my xorg.conf, and yet glxgears is only 1k FPS, and when I use the opengl spectrum analyzer, the processor is taxed 30% making me think it's using software rendering [15:19] # Appears as XENO [15:19] jrib, Nope, although I did rightclick the SM file and click "Make link", don't think that's enough. ^^ [15:19] hc: as in kernel patch? [15:19] no, as in madwifi patch :-) [15:20] erUSUL: lol [15:20] anyone? [15:20] burkmat: ok, well to do this the nice way, you want to create ~/bin and get that into your path since this is a command just for your user. Let's do that first [15:20] hc: i'll be honest here. the last the last thing i patched was a video game :-| [15:20] jrib, ok. done. [15:20] hc: i'll have to pass the ball on this one [15:20] haha okay [15:20] how do i figure out what kind of ram my pc has? ddr2 for example, and what the bus speed is on it? [15:20] EnvoyRising: i'll figur eit out ;-) [15:20] burkmat: now do 'source ~/.profile' and then 'echo $PATH' and verify ~/bin is in your PATH [15:21] MasterShrek: looking on you mobo manual [15:21] erUSUL, and if i dont have one handy? [15:21] EnvoyRising: i was right, handy dandy in the root of the folder to patch and then patch command (as you'd say it) [15:21] i figured there woudl be a command, cat /proc/meminfo doesnt give me enough === emgent is now known as emgent`work [15:22] hc: who said linux wasn't for dummies?

[15:23] erUSUL, no idea, im just gonna shut it down and pull a stick out [15:23] jrib, Hmm... Created the directory, and though just setting variable PATH to whatever floated my boat worked, but it didn't... And 'source ~/.profile' just tells me there's no such command. [15:23] erUSUL, its a dell dimension 8200 i got from a friend, pieced together the mobo/case with a hard drive and dvd burner, its mostly a mystery to me heh [15:23] MasterShrek: lspci and cat /proc/cpuinfo on a pastebin please [15:23] jrib, Oh, actually, "no such directory", guess I'll make that then...

[15:46] EnvoyRising: naah that ain't lame, that's fun! [15:47] hc: its only fun if you still have hair left [15:47] guess what ... i have plenty of that left ;) [15:47] dpkg-reconfigure .... ?

Thanks for the help anyway ^^ [15:50] hc: you're f'ing kidding? [15:51] EnvoyRising: do i look like i'm kidding? [15:51] ;-) [15:51] hw00djohn: honestly I have not had a chance to look. I started to last night, but then remember about the eclipse. I am currently at the office working on an executive summary. I'll be on later and we can work on it together.

[15:51] EnvoyRising: well i'm not really kidding you ;-) [15:51] Hello. I started a second X server `X :1` and then a remote (KDE) Session `export DISPLAY=:1; ssh -X user@remotehost startkde`. This works but the font's don't look like on the remote machine. They actually look like crap. What am I missing here? [15:51] hc: well, you could reinstall mesa drivers, just to get back into a graphical environment, then reinstall them [15:52] EnvoyRising: how2install mesa? [15:52] actually, f that, lemme look up the package names so you can sudo apt-get install them [15:52] :-) === nevermore_ is now known as nevermore [15:52] I was reading somewhere about this project for "One App, One File" for linux. But I can't remember the website. :( Any ideas? [15:53] hc: nvidia-glx-new === zachr_ is now known as zmr5r [15:53] Odd-rationale: installation thingy? [15:53] please tell me it will auto detect wireless in console without gnome etc? [15:53] Slart: Yes, something like that [15:54] can anybody suggest me light and fast window manager? [15:54] xalanthyr: fluxbox [15:54] xalanthyr: ncurses [15:54] jrib, is it too much to expect schroot to work as prescibed in the howto at help.ubuntu.com? i dont know exactly why, but it does appear to be a permissions problem. since i've binded ~/ i cant understand what is the culprit [15:54] :D [15:54] well, i gotta get up in the morning, so i'll have to get at ya'll later [15:54] bah === lunaphyte__ is now known as lunaphyte_ [15:54] my computer keeps freezing and i cant use ctrl + alt + backspace [15:54] EnvoyRising: thanks for all your help :-) [15:54] hc: np [15:54] Odd-rationale: and the .deb system isn't working out for you? anyways.. look at this one http://wiki.freespire.org/index.php/Linux_App_one-click_Install [15:54] Odd-rationale: is it much faster sompared to gnome? [15:55] compared* [15:55] xalanthyr: Gnome is a DE. fluxbos is a wm [15:55] hc: oh, in case this doesn't work as planned, you can get the vesa/mesa (try both) driver by openning the config file in nano/vim/emacs and changing the drive from "failsafe' TO "vesa" or "mesa" [15:55] thanks [15:55] Slart: Apt is fine. Just this seems to be a good way to unite the different Linux distros [15:56] SleepingSloth: maybe I used dchroot when I tried this [15:56] Slart: No, that is not what I was looking for... [15:56] Odd-rationale: as far as I'm concerned, they can all start using apt =) [15:56] Odd-rationale: what about this one then.. http://klik.atekon.de/ [15:56] Odd-rationale: can you tell me the difference between desktop anvironment and window manager? [15:57] SleepingSloth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot I recall whatever I tried "just worked" so trying dchroot may be worth it [15:57] is there a way to have certain scripts run when a wireless connection is made? [15:57] Slart: Yes. That is it! Thanks! [15:58] jrib - thats the one i followed, only with schroot - as per the instructions. is moving from schrrot to dchroot going to be as simple as removing schroot and installing dchroot, or are you saying i should clean and start from scratch? [15:58] xalanthyr: A DE is a whole suit of apps that *includes* a WM. You can have a WM without a DE. [15:58] hello [15:58] skarface: do you use network manager or /etc/network/interfaces ?? [15:58] hi [15:58] how can I "make" a make file called "Makefile" ? ;) [15:58] make Makefile doesn't work [15:58] network manager [15:58] xalanthyr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment vs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager =) [15:59] sled: just type 'make' [15:59] Odd-rationale: but will there be any problems when i won't have a de? [15:59] sled: is make [15:59] xalanthyr: No, not really. [15:59] SleepingSloth: afaict you can use the same /var/chroot/ you have, you'll just access it with dchroot [15:59] hi! can anyone tell me what static content in a file system is? [15:59] erUSUL: damn I forgot to sudo :P [16:00] xalanthyr: You will have to borrow al lot from other DE's lib's [16:00] how to search a file in whole filesystem? [16:00] sled: you shouldn (and is dangerous) need sudo for make (only for make install or checkinstall) [16:00] what is the most 'stable' distro right now [16:00] jrib, just a quick aside.... when i type 'sudo schroot', the prompt (inside schroot) is root@ instead of user@ - but there is no /home/root in schroot. is that possibly causing the problem? [16:00] Andycasss: use locate [16:00] Andycasss: locate or find [16:01] ok thanks [16:01] TrustNoOne: Debian stable is usually pretty solid. [16:01] TrustNoOne: Debian stable [16:01] Odd-rationale: I'm planning to renistall the system and install debian. I'd like to install it without X and configure it by myself, so should i install for example only fluxbox, or something else also? [16:01] Andycasss: locate filename (uses an index) or find / -name filename (searches disk) [16:01] TrustNoOne: stable, but old as hell [16:01] SleepingSloth: well remember that root's home is /root [16:01] xalanthyr: I can get you a good link on how that all works... [16:01] can i change gpu in a laptop? [16:01] ok whats the NEWEST (within 8 months) that is the most stable [16:01] hi room [16:01] Zsuzsi_: no [16:01] it's usually VERY nicely security patched too [16:02] Re: deb stable [16:02] jrib, either way, there is no .Xauthority in there [16:02] Wander_w: :( [16:02] good for headless server [16:02] bye [16:02] SleepingSloth: the xhost +local: would have taken care of that [16:02] not so good for fun desktop [16:02] Odd-rationale: I'll be grateful [16:02] apt-get is giving me an error trying to install nvidia-glx-new ... dies with a segmentation fault and error status 139 [16:03] TrustNoOne: Ubuntu Hardy Heron LTS, out due april [16:03] xalanthyr: debian help on #debian [16:03] xalanthyr: It is for ubuntu, though not debian per se. Just start with a cli from the alternative install cd. [16:03] (or did you mean 8 months in the PAST?) [16:03] xalanthyr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [16:03] Wander_w, its still beta tho, dont see how that can be that stable, looked at latest debian "etch" and it said to be released as stable, but has some bugs [16:03] jrib, this whole thing is ridiculous- have you any idea when 32 bit apps will run natively in ubuntu? [16:05] SleepingSloth: I thought they did, what are you trying to run? [16:05] holy crap i have sound [16:05] xalanthyr: But once you get used to starting with a CLI, you might consider switching to a distro that is better suited for doing so. Like I switched to Arch Linux. [16:06] xrestassuredx: :-O But yeah, good for you :) [16:06] flex builder, specifically [16:06] jrib ^ [16:06] hello, i have a problem with my wirelles card! ubuntu doesnt recognize my digitus wireless card! I have also tried with ndiswrapper and windows drivers, but it doesnt work! can anybody help me pls?! [16:06] Odd-rationale: i'm thinking also about Gentoo, but i think i'll stick still to debian for some time === neversfelde is now known as neversfelde_ [16:07] I'm trying to get the program Phun to run on 7.10. The readme says: "The program uses boost_filesystem, SDL, SDL_image and GLEW." How do I check if these are installed/install them? [16:07] xalanthyr: that would be a mistake; though they their own channels ;] [16:07] Does anybody have experience with easypmp (PMPlib)? I can't get it to find my player now ... I had trouble accessing it before ... now it works but it can't find the player [16:07] xalanthyr, is there a reason why you dont want a GUI? [16:07] fixing my sound didn't get WoW on wine to work properly though >_> [16:07] xalanthyr, sorry if you already stated just got back [16:07] IdleOne: I think he just wants to install the GUI himself... [16:07] "ERROR: Failed to find a player" [16:08] jrib, but flex builder requires 32 bit eclipse, and 32 bit jre/jvm, 32 bit gtk, 32 bit you name it - i've got more crud floating around my system as a consequence of trying to do this various ways that i am fairly annoyed about the fact that a 32 bit application refuses to run on a 64 bit system. i know it *could* be compiled from source, but not in this case [16:08] Odd-rationale, ahh well then... [16:08] xalanthyr: and from experience the #gentoo channel can be a bit ahem rough ;] [16:08] hello, i have a problem with my wirelles card! ubuntu doesnt recognize my digitus wireless card! I have also tried with ndiswrapper and windows drivers, but it doesnt work! can anybody help me pls?! [16:08] SleepingSloth: well I don't know the specifics but you do have ia32-libs and packages like ia32 java that just work when you install them. Why are you using 64bit? === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [16:08] xalanthyr: Go with Arch. You may never switch again! ;) [16:09] IdleOne: I want my computer work fast and efficient but it's now a bit old and programs and some games (rarely) need great power while playing under wine [16:09] alright i'm out [16:09] c y'all soon [16:09] bb [16:09] cya [16:09] xalanthyr: I wouldn't say gentoo or arch are stable, but can you please move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic? [16:09] xalanthyr, have you looked at xubuntu or icewm,blackox,fluxbox? [16:09] jrib, because i was 'reliably' informaed that 64 bit support was a lot better now [16:10] i dont have the developer tools, i think... its a ubuntu server install. more or less the newest version. [16:10] hello, i have a problem with my wirelles card! ubuntu doesnt recognize my digitus wireless card! I have also tried with ndiswrapper and windows drivers, but it doesnt work! can anybody help me pls?! [16:10] what apt package do i want? [16:10] xalanthyr: There is fluxbuntu and icebuntu is now coming up... [16:10] for what sybariten [16:10] SleepingSloth: well it's a lot better but it may not be good enough for your use-case [16:10] morning [16:10] i ran make, and the shell said i could apt-get install make, but something tells me i want a bigger package than that [16:10] sybariten, if you mean gcc and that you need build-essential [16:10] DaveEngland: are you at the computer now the one with the wireless that is [16:10] and that last part of that last sentence may very well be interpreted in a funny way, go ahead [16:10] jrib, of course, going back to 32 bit, apart from the obvious irritation of having 64 bit hardware and an OS that purports to support it, but the reality is different, is going to mean a fresh install, isnt it? [16:10] bazhang no :( [16:11] IdleOne: i suppose thats what i want, yes... build-essential... thanks [16:11] SleepingSloth: yes [16:11] jrib, that wasnt meant to sound like ubuntu-bashing, btw. [16:11] sybariten, sudo aptitude install build-essential [16:11] bazhang: well, for "most" source code program installing issues [16:11] Odd-rationale: I was told, that debian works faster than ubuntu, so i'll give it a try [16:11] DaveEngland: well what is the card make and model--digitus wont do it here [16:11] neverblue: merci [16:11] Can anyone help me get Phun to run on 7.10? [16:11] sybariten, pas de problem [16:11] xalanthyr: OK. Have fun! [16:11] build-essential as IdleOne suggested sybariten [16:11] sybariten, that package will install all the tools needed for compiling. check in synaptic before you compile as there already may be what you want pre-packaged in the repos [16:11] oi [16:11] so how can i solve the problem? i need internet! [16:12] I can not talk in KOpete anyone has a solution? [16:12] bazhang: - WLAN PCI Adapter,54Mbps mit externer Antenne [16:12] - DN-7006GS [16:12] DaveEngland: first take a deep breath this may take a while [16:12] fernando, talk, via a mic ? [16:12] fernando, try pidgin [16:12] jrib, are you running 32 or 64 ? [16:12] yes [16:12] IdleOne, neverblue : hmmmmm..... Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.22/linux-libc-dev_2.6.22-14.47_i386.deb 404 Not Found [16:12] that one i've never encountered [16:12] and i've installed lots and lots stuff via apt [16:13] sybariten, try again, or ping security.ubuntu.com [16:13] SleepingSloth: 64. Make sure you have ia32-libs installed by the way, it seems to provide things like gtk32 that you mentioned before [16:13] ok [16:13] I will take a while to try pidgin ... Thanjks for your help === Vaajd1 is now known as vaajd1 [16:13] fernando, its a great im client [16:13] pidgin's a decent program... if you've used gaim in the past, pidgin will seem very familiar [16:14] Hey. Is there a graphical config tool in ubuntu to setup dual monitors? I am using the ati driver. [16:14] jrib, i already have [16:14] yeah, pidgin is cool [16:14] neverblue: the ping works out well, but the package gives the same error.... [16:14] sybariten, look on packages.ubuntu.com make sure that is the correct file name [16:14] sybariten, then that package must have been remove/renamed, sudo aptitude update [16:14] Hello [16:15] sybariten, after the update do: sudo aptitude install build-essential [16:15] !hi | chana [16:15] chana: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [16:15] . [16:16] SleepingSloth: 64bit isn't really worth it imo unless you have >4GB ram [16:16] neverblue: ca a marche! [16:16] Can anyone help me check if boost_filesystem, SDL, SDL_image and GLEW are installed? [16:16] sybariten, :) [16:16] I have a ?, I would like to create a dual boot (Ubuntu/Vista) machine. [16:16] chana, my suggestion, install vista, then ubuntu [16:17] jrib, its a bit late for that now. i have 4gb, incidentally, so yes 32 bit would be okay, but i've invested far too much time in this installation to go back because one application refuses to play ball [16:17] !dualboot | chana [16:17] chana: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [16:17] because the windows boot loader doesn't understand linux, and if you install linux first, the windows bootloader will overwrite GRUB, and you won't be able to boot into ubuntu [16:17] mais pourquoi? i've never really understood what update does... i didnt use aptitude for the very install, i used sudo apt-get install build-essential just like before, but now it worked. what does aptitude update do that makes things different? [16:17] Well, I have built a couple dual boot machines using Ubuntu/vista, but they were on different drives. [16:17] IdleOne: i followed neverblues tip, never got to looking at the packages page [16:18] sybariten, it worked? if so I am glad [16:18] chana, so you want it on the same drive? [16:18] okay. I'll try later. [16:18] chana, let us know when you have the question :) [16:18] I already have vista loaded, and for some reason, on the guided partition, it only see's one drive, and not the partition i created specifically for ubuntu [16:19] pre-creating the partition is not necessary === x-spec-t is now known as Spec [16:19] sybariten, packages.ubuntu.com is a great place to get packages if lets say you need something for a machine without internet access or whatever. [16:19] you can install ubuntu, and create the partition from there [16:19] Trashlord, there is no issue in doing it [16:19] of course there isn't [16:20] I am on Pidgin, but I can not see how to talk with my mic [16:20] just saying, doing it from the ubuntu installation might be a little bit more comfortable [16:20] http://www.services.assmann.com/download/adm/support-driver-2/DN-7006GS_driver_linux_v1027_20071221.zip the linux driver is here DaveEngland === patrick_ is now known as ubuntunewb [16:20] hello there!

[16:21] !ask | ubuntunewb [16:21] ubuntunewb: 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. :-) [16:21] okay xD [16:21] Trashlord, I am currently using the ubuntu install, and I am at the guided partition, and it only sees the whole 200gb volume. if I continue, will that format everything on that drive? === yh is now known as Krylix [16:22] no, you should have at least 2 options there === Kalpik is now known as kalpik [16:22] one, is to use the entire drive [16:22] and the other one is to create a partition, and install ubuntu on that [16:22] chana, you should have the option to let it partiton the drive for you. read carefully and follow instructions [16:23] installed steam via wine, everything works finde, log in, steam software itself, i downloaded teamfortress2, it will launch till the startup screen, then just close and return to the desktop, all i see then is my desktop with a resolution like 100 x 100 [16:23] ubuntunewb, wine issues better server in #winehq [16:23] server=served [16:23] hi all just baught an intel wireless card it is in the restricted driver but i cant connect to my wireless or see any for that matter [16:24] IdleOne: okay! [16:24] my only 2 options are guided, use entire disk/ scs13 (0,0,0) 200gb or manual [16:25] click on manual what options does it give you? [16:25] hey, i just installed LMMS thru Synaptic and i can't find it anywhere on my comp now...any suggestions? [16:25] Cew27: which intel card [16:25] hw00djohn, in terminal type lmms [16:25] bazhang: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [16:25] chana, if you select manual, you should be able to select the partition that you created to mount as "/", did you also create a swap partition as well? [16:26] Idle1, it shows my 3 partitions [16:26] Cew27: are you at that computer now or can you access it easily? [16:26] idleone what if i got lmms-common? type lmms-common? [16:26] bazhang: im on it on etherne [16:26] hw00djohn, give it a shot [16:26] hw00djohn: try lm and see if it autocompletes [16:26] hi, is packages.ubuntu.com down or something cause nor getlibs nor I can reach the site :S [16:27] Cew27: onboard or card? [16:27] chana, Trashlord might be better at guiding you through the manual install [16:27] k [16:27] hmm.

I am asking about what I can do to cool it down, because at night I leave it on my table and shut the lid, but sometimes (once every few weeks) it overheats and shuts down, more frequently in summer it shuts down because of overheating (i am guessing) because no matter what OS [19:15] i am using it will shut down with no warning or error log, so what can I do to prevent this? [19:16] An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. -> The resize operation is aborted. [19:16] what's going on ?

I built and installed the nodoka engine and the nodoka theme, because it's so clean and beautiful. Unfortunately, now my OpenOffice icons are completed wrecked.

[19:35] cadefy: .tar.gz is like a zip file, it usually holds source code, .rpm is a package for fedora or redhat [19:35] ok well im on the adobe flash website, because firefox wants me to download it [19:35] which shouldI choose? [19:35] cadefy, oh boy. [19:35] ah ok thanks [19:35] what ? [19:35] cadefy, the tar.gz one in that case.

[20:05] StucKman: RAID5 [20:05] :) [20:05] QuickGold: nice [20:05] macd: Which is better for speed....ext3 or reiser? [20:05] QuickGold, I've seen benchmarks point both ways, but I believe in reiser. [20:06] i like reiser too, but still use ext3 for servers [20:06] QuickGold: macd: reiser has some disadvantages [20:06] QuickGold, however I would partition /boot on its own parition (say 200megs) and use ext3 there [20:06] difference in performance between those file systems is application specific. and probably small enough to be swamped by production issues. [20:06] macd: yes, that's a workaround of one of the disadvantages I mentioned [20:06] umm, how do i apply this command mr. prince_jammys ? [20:07] macd: if I made a /boot partition, I would need to redo my RAID, correct? [20:07] StucKman, I've learned the hard way years ago ;) [20:07] QuickGold, no [20:07] QuickGold, just dont use the guided partition setup === Boglizk_ is now known as Boglizk [20:07] trond_: paste it into a terminal , or do alt f2 and paste it there [20:08] macd: so instead I would use the manual partition option in the ubuntu installer? [20:08] trond_: you're kde right? [20:08] QuickGold, yep [20:08] macd: so /boot is reiser and the other drive would be ext3? [20:08] I apologize for speaking out of turn, but I was wondering if there was some system for asking a question?

[20:10] macd: StucKman: Let me attempt to do this then (keyword: attempt) [20:10] QuickGold, yes its really your decision on filesystem type, and ext3 does have its advantages when it comes to repairing, as well as someone mentioned earlier chances are the filesystem wont be yiour bottleneck [20:10] * QuickGold runs back to the server room [20:10] danand_, yes realtek^ [20:11] trond_: then you type it or paste it into Konsole, KMenu->System->Konsole [20:11] prince_jammys: i saw your msg in ubotu now..sorry..i think that solved it :D [20:11] is there any software to manage ubuntu servers like with Sun's Connector.

[20:12] mphill, see https://landscape.canonical.com/ [20:12] DaveEngland - that's still probably not enough info though. Can you pastebin the output of the lspci -vvv command [20:12] macd: For the 3 drives you outlined, should they be Logical or primary?

I go in to add remove programs and I click on VLC player. It tells me refresh as the list of applications is not available. What do I do? [21:05] hi [21:05] housefly7k: I found this https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugs/2006-October/308020.html [21:05] ciudad de dios [21:05] Ubuntu: you're welcome. If you're having trouble with installing, we're more then willing to help out (i changed my nick btw) [21:05] a quick question... when an application needs a certain library.. how does it search for that library? can I put the library in the same folder as the executable and it should find it? [21:06] Apache security Question: I changed the directory security on /var/www to have group www-data access for read and write. I added my web editors to that group and setup file permissions 755 for the group. Any security concerns I should address? [21:06] Whatever: if add/remove doesn't allow you to refresh the list, use synaptic [21:06] whatever: do what fliegenderfrosch said, lol that was a fun type :P [21:06] Where is that (FGF [21:06] ScottH: yeah, www-data shouldn't be able to write to anything it doesn't need to [21:06] i got this: http://img46.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantallazotestjavavirtuqg5.png [21:07] For some reason, I cannot connect to anything via http [21:07] pax: did you do any changes to your xorg.conf [21:07] I can connect by https [21:07] or ftp [21:07] Whatever: System > System settings > synaptic package manager [21:07] irc [21:07] FGF: Okay. [21:07] Any suggestions? [21:07] jrib, could you elaborate? should i create my own group and use that instead? [21:07] Okay I found it, what do I do now? [21:08] pax: what was your computer model again? [21:08] LibertyShadow: just an idea, but are you using a http proxy? [21:08] fliegenderfrosch: no [21:08] ScottH: yes [21:08] Whatever: click on "Reload" on top left [21:08] housefly7k: I think I will when I have gutsy reinstalled, but does that make sense to you though, what does it do to add that line of code to xorg.conf. My computer is hp m8120n, a supercomputer [21:08] ScottH: you should only let www-data write to files it need to write to (e.g. wiki files) [21:08] Anyone know any good tools for tagging arbitrary files and sorting by combinations of those tags? [21:09] Whatever: maybe the things are labeled slightly different, i don't use the english locale [21:09] Ok, so I'll make group called www-editor and use it instead. Cool? Some issues with the www-data group? [21:09] FGF: It downloaded 6 files, searched for VLC and nothing. [21:10] ScottH: that sounds fine. www-data should not have write permissions [21:10] rainrunner87: doesn't "tracker" do this? it comes with ubuntu [21:10] pax: it is mentioned in a couple of places [21:10] housefly7k: what is [21:10] Ok, thanks for the input! :-D [21:10] Whatever, probably the sources aren't activated [21:11] rainrunner87: i guess tracker probably doesnt let you tag files arbitrarily [21:11] pax: well I am not an expert, but i know when the same problem happened to my friend, we would load the laptop and the logo would come thn black screen [21:11] fliegenderfrosch: My Nvidia installer can connect to ftp://download.nvidia.com [21:11] pax: Hitting ALT+f1 at stratup would load into terminal [21:11] Whatever: go to System > system administration > software sources [21:11] fliegenderfrosch: My Firewall is disabled, I tried restarting, and my hosts file is empty [21:11] pax: and from there you can access all the files and change them or restore them [21:12] FGF: Okay I am there, what do I do next? [21:12] Whatever: make sure that main, restricted, universe, multiverse are all enabled [21:12] pax: so install gutsy, try it out, add the VBErestore line in xorg.conf but before you do back up your xorg.conf [21:12] housefly7k: what happened to your friend is the same thing that happend to me [21:12] FGF: What abotu source? [21:12] LibertyShadow: sorry, i don't know more, i'm no network pro either [21:12] pax: just do "sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf_back" === rufus is now known as rufus_ [21:13] housefly7k: when i got into the terminal by alt+f1, what should I do from there [21:13] Whatever: you probably don't need source codes, but activating it as well does no harm either [21:13] pax: no unfortunately it isnt, he has a laptop and some laptops have problems with ACPI and changing that fixed his issues [21:14] pax: well from the terminal you can follow any advice given to you or you can file a bug report and be able to provide them with the information they ask for [21:14] FGF: Thanks, what is the packet manager, is it the "thing" behind add/remove? [21:15] housefly7k: I never filed a bug report before and didn't believe that someone will actually try to fix it, but I guess I will have to someday [21:15] Whatever: add/remove is basically just a simplified installer [21:16] pax: well you can file the bug report and meanwhile dont use suspend and see if anyone can help with that [21:16] how can i enable icecast client :| [21:16] prince_jammys: Tracker's not particularly friendly to the problem, or at least not that I've seen in my tinkerings with it. I guess I'll just have to code something up. Oh well. [21:16] pax: sorry i am not of much help [21:16] Whatever: but all these programs are frontends for the same package management system [21:16] FGF: Okay [21:16] pax: from the temrinal if you type "gdm" it will try to launch the Gnome desktop manager which is the GUI you normally log into [21:16] housefly7k: could you give me your IM id, so I could add you to my buddy list, you seem to be a very nice person [21:16] To whomever: I cannot connect to the internet via http, but I can connect using other types of connections. I am not using a proxy. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. I would search the forums but I can't connect to the internet... [21:17] pax: i am sending it to you in PM [21:17] FGF: My font for the login screen is too big. How do I solve that issue?

[21:17] pax: a private window [21:18] or rather set a root password [21:18] pax: what are you using for IRC? [21:18] housefly7k: pidgin [21:18] !root | mdm4432 [21:18] mdm4432: 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 [21:18] xchat rulez ;) [21:18] goukki: abraco aqui do irssi em mac os 10.5.

[21:22] hi [21:22] housefly7k: I guess private window wouldn't work [21:22] can someone quickly lend me a hand with a couple things?

Just a bunch of stuff about beeping when messages are sent/recieved. [21:29] prince_jammys man says it creates and updates manual page index caches.

I'm currently working on that mysefl [21:46] alex123: no that combo kills the Xserver [21:46] i'm trying to use a program (anyterm) that uses "some of the Boost C++ libraries.". i see there are a bunch of boost related packages - how can i determine which are appropriate for me? [21:46] anyone here use x11vnc to act as a server to remote into their machines? [21:47] lunaphyte_: anyterm should tell you which ones [21:47] ForzaPalermo: yes [21:47] when i do mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda i get: [21:47] could not erase sector 2: Attempt to write block from filesystem resulted in short write [21:47] Slart, you vnc in from windows? [21:47] ForzaPalermo: nope.. linux to linux [21:47] komputes, whats the other "half" ?

[21:48] erUSUL: yeah, i was expecting that as well. the extent of what i can seem to find so far has been "You may already have them on your system; if not, precompiled packages for most systems are available from the usual places. " :) [21:48] and vice versa [21:48] thechitowncubs: you need to check the hdd for badblocks [21:48] seems i can only do vnc windows to windows file transfer [21:48] ForzaPalermo: are file transfers a part of the vanilla vnc protocol? I don't think so [21:48] MasterShrek: well the CPU is down to 800Mhz which helps with the fan, but I still want to turn the fan off [21:48] anyone? [21:49] oh - wait - here is a bit more detail: Anyterm uses Ion Gaztañaga's Boost candidate shared memory library for communication between the Apache processes" [21:49] YeTr2: how can i do that? [21:49] lunaphyte_: well you will have to install everything boost related or configure; see error; install package; got configure until done [21:49] goto* [21:49] Can someone recommend me a Network Manager for Ubuntu 7.10 because the default one wont load in my ubuntu install [21:49] ForzaPalermo - do you mean over a network or from your windows install to ubuntu (on the same machine) [21:49] coloneLkerneL, the wacom drivers listed in xorg.conf and another driver I can't remember the name of provide functionality for mouse pads and graphics tablets.. they might work as well for tablets [21:49] no [21:49] komputes, im not exactly sure how to do that...sorry bud [21:49] from different locations [21:49] Darkmystere: wifi radar ??

[21:49] erUSUL: oh, that's not a bad idea. i'll just try it and see how it goes. [21:49] MasterShrek: no problem you've helpped me enough for a day [21:49] coloneLkerneL, there are tablets available commercially that have linux preinstalled so it is possible. [21:49] danand, i am at work now remoted into my linux machine [21:49] erUSUL, That thing has never successfully connected to any network for me.. [21:50] where is the linux complain channel? [21:50] komputes, if you want the fan permanently off, just open the box and unplug it :) [21:50] andrea6030, complain channel? [21:50] !bug | andrea6030 [21:50] komputes, but i wouldnt recommend it personally [21:50] andrea6030: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [21:50] andrea6030, complain? help with hardware software.. right here. [21:50] andrea6030: linux complain channel? what do you want to complain about? [21:50] ForzaPalermo - and your on a windows machine at work? [21:50] andrea6030: /dev/null ;P [21:50] MasterShrek: if I take this pc apart theres no putting it back together [21:50] danand, yes [21:50] andrea6030: echo "Complain" > /dev/null XD [21:50] erUSUL, :) [21:50] YeTr2: Samsung [21:51] komputes, u cant just open it and unplug the fan? [21:51] you can try #complain, maybe you get a refund [21:51] How can I fix Ubuntu freezing after random periond of time (1 to 3 days uptime)? [21:51] Anyone know how I get g++ with the "-m32" option on Ubuntu Server 64-bit to use the /usr/lib32/stdc++ library instead of /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.3/libstdc++ during compilation? GCC uses the proper 32 bit libraries and everything runs fine, but g++ is dieing on this one library for some reason... [21:51] MasterShrek: laptop, too many screws [21:52] Milos_SD: you need to find the cause [21:52] komputes, ah, was not aware it was a lptop [21:52] thebusby, you might try in #ubuntu-server [21:52] Milos_SD: depends on why it's freezing.. might be lots of things... any error messages? [21:52] not bugs just guides in particular, theres always something missing [21:52] Scunizi thanks I'll move over there! [21:52] MasterShrek: now you know, and knowing is half the battle [21:52] ForzaPalermo - the easiest way i could suggest would be to set up a samba server on your gnu/linux box. that way you can remotely access files by using the "map network drive" thing in windows. [21:52] thechitowncubs: then go to samsung's website and look for the tools to test samsung harddrives. [21:52] andrea6030, what kink of guides are you looking for? [21:52] andrea6030: you could write an email to the persons who wrote the guides [21:53] gothy: any luck getting it to work? Everything seems to say 32bit only [21:53] im no newbie but theres all this waste of time people asking questions, we could save so much time [21:53] andrea6030: a nice email, mind you.. unless you paid for it or something [21:53] andrea6030: If it is on a wiki, you can start a wiki discussion page [21:53] like ubuntuguide.org [21:53] Hi guys! What is the easiest way to run ubuntu (as a virtual machine which i have never done btw) in XP? Thanks [21:53] cdesza1: yes, i'm running 32bit ubuntu just for this reason. I'm currently downloading build-essential for the compilation [21:53] There are no error massages ... It just freez totally ... I have C2D E6550, 2GB RAM, Nvidia 7600GT ... I think that I have this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/+bug/145112 but, it is not fixed as it says it is. :( [21:53] GOD BLESS IT [21:53] this is so annoying! [21:54] thechitowncubs, whats the problem? [21:54] danand, and i can share files from anywhere in the world [21:54] K_Dallas: Use VirtualBox or VMware [21:54] MasterShrek: I can't format my hard drive [21:54] gothy: will ndiswrapper work for this? [21:54] MasterShrek: no matter what i do [21:54] thechitowncubs, is it mounted? [21:54] There are bad blocks apparently, and i can't do anything abou tit [21:54] andrea6030: then write an email to the author.. his name is on the front page [21:54] Odd-rationale, ok, are they the fastest? [21:54] MasterShrek: no it won't mount [21:54] can anyone tell me how i would go about connecting to my router? its plugged in and everything, trying the cable in a different computer (winxp) works so i dont know whats wrong. my connection is enabled and the settings are correct. [21:54] MasterShrek: im in the live cd [21:54] K_Dallas: Pretty much. [21:54] thechitowncubs, it may be automounting it, open a terminal and type: mount [21:54] Hey everyone, I am new to linux, and at the moment I am installing Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop. I am at the stage where I have to prepare partition. I formatted free space into ext3 type. Now I need to select "mount point" from the list. What should I choose? [21:54] Odd-rationale, thanks [21:55] fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hda [21:55] cdesza1: there have been reports of using ndiswrapper to get it to work, though i'm trying this approach first [21:55] Gah. [21:55] thechitowncubs, if its not mounted, run sudo cfdisk /dev/xxxx [21:55] ForzaPalermo - yes. its just like the files on your gnu/linux box are on the hard drive of your windows (or gnu/linux) machine [21:55] #join hellas [21:55] MasterShrek: another thing that don't work... FATAL ERROR: Cannot read disk drive [21:55] the samba server thing is good but it was missing the most important part, enable the user after adding it, if you dont enable it, beats the whole purpose, im not trying to start a fight, but every guide on samba server is missing the point about enable the user [21:55] danand, do you have any literature on how to set that up? [21:55] MasterShrek: the hard drive is physically fine, i just installed windows [21:56] thechitowncubs, sudo cfdisk /dev/hda or /dev/sda ? [21:56] Anybody? [21:56] Nourox, choose / [21:56] andrea6030: enable the user?... I don't really understand [21:56] MasterShrek: yep, borked. [21:56] Nourox, there are a few settings you need to apply, first off, you will need a SWAP space allocation, which should be your ram size * 1.5 [21:56] andrea6030 - agreed with that one - Finding that out took me hours .,, check firewall, check smb.conf, check permissions ... sigh [21:56] neverblue, that is 2GB *1.5? [21:57] slart, sudo smbpasswd -h [21:57] afternoon. Does anyone know of a gui for clamav (gnome)? [21:57] Ok, im booting into the windows installer [21:57] Nourox, secondly, some ppl like to keep /home on a seperate partition as well, so in say an 80GB system, with 2 GB RAM, I would do SWAP 3GB, / 20GB, and /home the remaining 57GBs [21:57] I can't believe no linux tools can fix my drive [21:57] the user is disabled by default after adding it [21:58] hi. Just bought a new dell inspiron 1525 which comes with a wireless Dell 1395 mini card. Ubuntu 7.10 doesn't list it in network settings and there's no linux drivers on the dell website. Is there any way to get this working? [21:58] Nourox, if that is your RAM size, then yes, you want to allocate 3GB to swap [21:58] steve176: is that a notebook or laptop? [21:58] Nourox, u can setup your partitions manually, in the installation [21:58] its a laptop [21:58] steve176: happen to know if it uses the bcm series of wireless? [21:58] danand, do you have any literature on how to set that up? [21:58] steve176, if its a broadcom card, as i imagine it is, youll need firmware for it, the restricted drivers manager should take care of it for you [21:58] ForzaPalermo - do sudo apt-get install samba. that should get you started. [21:59] dennda, i have that already [21:59] denand i ahve that already [21:59] hey, when logging into pidgin it hangs on "waiting for network connection" [21:59] steve176: mastershrek is correct. It took me a few hours to figure that out but it does work. [21:59] OK, I have anly 8GB for Ubuntu :) [21:59] meanwhile i already have a network connection established [21:59] andrea6030: never had any problems with it.. must have used other guides than you did... but the best thing you can do is make it better.. send your suggestions to the authors of the guides.. that way we'll have better guides [21:59] OK, so if i use the wired connection, check all the right boxes in apt-get it should work [21:59] how can I change the font colour on ubuntu panels? [21:59] Now, 3GB for swap, [21:59] running ubuntu and installing kubuntu-desktop won't create problems? i'm thinking specfically between gdm and kdm. [21:59] Nourox, you really dont need much swap, 1 gig should do, with 2 gigs of ram you probably wont use much swap if any [21:59] Ok since no one knows that how can i get a kernal for a ubuntu install without internet... === ihswem is now known as mewish [22:00] Darkmystere: mail? [22:00] L3ttuc3, kdm will replace gdm, if you want to still use gdm, type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [22:00] I read somethere, that if swap has less memory than your RAM, then suspention won't work? [22:00] Nourox, good point, thats probably true [22:00] Darkmystere: snailmail a dvd?.. I don't think distribution of kernels in meatspace is a big priority for the kernel people [22:00] steve176: should in theory yes [22:00] Nourox: is true [22:00] hi to all [22:01] How do I disconnect from an SSH session once I'm connected? [22:01] how can I change the font colour on ubuntu panels? [22:01] MasterShrek what i thought. thanks for clearing it up. i'll have a look at whether i like kdm better first though :). nothing else will get messed up though? [22:01] steve176: mine took a little kicking to get going...i had to reboot a few times [22:01] MasterShrek: I don't recall kdm replacing gdm... Just pick kde from the gdm sessions menu [22:01] QuickGold, type exit [22:01] Odd-rationale, i could be wrong on that, i thought it did, but i guess i havent installed ubuntu (gnome) in awhile [22:01] somebody use opera in ubuntu 7.10?? [22:01] is there a way to read how much Volts and Watts use got my computer?? [22:01] hi guys, can someone confirm that the command "rm -r *.jpg" will delete all jpg files in the current folder and subfolder, but leave all other files ok? [22:01] is there a command? [22:01] QuickGold: type exit [22:01] L3ttuc3, so kdm may not replace gdm, but if it does its easy to fix :) [22:01] MasterShrek: Not working. it says "logout. There are stopped jobs" [22:02] QuickGold: type exit again [22:02] digital00: powertop [22:02] Odd-rationale, ive just heard of some people having kdm replace gdm [22:02] sdsheeks: that did it. thank you [22:02] QuickGold: np [22:02] Tim000: yes that should be the outcome [22:02] nenelinux, I've tried it. [22:02] MasterShrek: With apt-get kubuntu-desktop? [22:02] OK, I am going to reboot and allocate more space for linux partition ( borrow some from Vista ). What total partition size for ubuntu would you recommend? [22:02] thanks, just wanted to doublecheck :) [22:02] Does anyone know of a gui for clamav (gnome)? [22:02] guys, is there any way to change the font colour of panels? [22:03] Nourox: 10 gb is recommended [22:03] Nourox: 5 gig min 10 is better [22:03] MasterShrek fair enough. thanks. [22:03] I have a problem with flash in opera [22:03] Zimmer: I'm not sure there are such a thing.. I've not seen any text on the panels themselves.. you might be able to change the font color of the widgets though [22:03] ForzaPalermo - you will then need to configure samba by editing /etc/samba/smb.conf. I can pastebin my smb.conf file if you like. then you need to add a password for your users account you will be connecting to by running smbpasswd. then you need to enable the account. after that you need to allow access to the samba server in your firewall. after that you'll be able to connect your windows (and gnu/linux) machines. NB on gnu/linux machines you need to ins [22:03] I can't se anything [22:04] Slart: I mean the main panels, with the "Applications" etc [22:04] Slart: there's nothing about Volts or Watts in powertop.. [22:04] OK, 10GB. Now, as you listed previously: 3GB for `swap`, how many for `/`? [22:04] !sensors | digital00 [22:04] digital00: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [22:04] Zimmer: the panel is the solid square that you place stuff on.. the applications menu is a widget.. or whatever they are called [22:04] http://air.mozilla.com/ Mozilla Air (their live show) is on right now talking about themes/mozilla messaging [22:05] Nourox: 10 for / [22:05] Slart, ok then how do you do it? [22:05] When I got to properties, there are no options [22:05] I'm having trouble with my sound, i tried updating to the latest version of ALSA for my RealTek driver, but the utils didnt install correctly, now i have no sound and my gstream.plugins ugly are not working [22:05] I am getting better font rendering in my browser then in my gui in general, is there anyway to see why? [22:05] nenelinux, not to be glib.. but "don't we all".. sorry I don't have a solution [22:05] Zimmer: there might be some weird setting deep down in gconf .. I have never seen anything in the usual places [22:05] : . [22:05] danand, yes i would appreciate that [22:05] Hi, I unplugged my hard drive then plugged it back it and when I try to run ubuntu I get a grub Error 21. I have googled it to look for answers but I'm not that familar with linux so I didnt get a real straight answer on what to do. Can anyone help? [22:06] :( [22:06] And, can anybody help me? [22:06] ForzaPalermo - ok, wait one... [22:06] !helpme | Milos_SD [22:06] not to mention my emerald is no longer working.. [22:06] Milos_SD: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [22:06] Milos_SD: shoot [22:06] Total is 10GB and it is divided between: `swap` = 3GB, `home` = 7GB? [22:06] kivio. dia, or something better? [22:06] capital86: did you plugged it on the same ide/sata port?? have you added another hard disk to the computer? [22:06] well :( its sad [22:06] is my deleting dyntax correct? I'm trying to delete a bunch of jpg files with the command [22:07] danand, ok thanks [22:07] thanks sdsheeks / mastershrek, restarting now [22:07] capital86: error 21 means that grub can not find the hard disk on the "place" it thinks it should be [22:07] Tim000: could you state it again, missed it [22:07] should i just reformat and start from scratch? [22:07] capital86, did you plug it into the same exact place on the cable and motherboard connection? [22:07] can I use .run installers with Ubuntu? [22:07] if i add a second hard drive will ubuntu automatically use it when the first one runs out? anybody? [22:07] I plugged it into the same sata port. I also have a 160gig hd. But i did not remove it. the 160 is ide. [22:07] is my deleting dyntax correct? I'm trying to delete a bunch of jpg files with the command "rm -rf *.jpg" but when I do "ls -R | grep jpg" afterwards it still finds files [22:08] AntiUSA: depends on what are you triying to install [22:08] Everything ran fine before I unplugged it. [22:08] a game [22:08] Total is 10GB and it is divided between: `swap` = 3GB, `home` = 7GB? [22:08] !who | capital86 [22:08] capital86: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:08] Tim000: rm *.jpg should suffice [22:08] Tim000: you can't recursively remove like that. your command will only remove files in the *current* directory that are named something.jpg, and recursively removed *directories* which are themselves named something.jpg [22:08] takatski, emerald has issues.. no you don't need to reformat and reinstall.. /join #ubuntu-effects and ask there.. you should be able to just uninstall emerald and restart X to get back to normal. [22:08] !tab [22:08] Tim000: if you want to remove recursively, you should probably use "find" [22:08] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:08] Tim000: your rm command is only deleting jpgs in the present dir, but you ls -R is showing jpgs recursively in sub dirs [22:08] AntiUSA: then do chamod +x file.run && sudo ./file.run [22:09] chmod** [22:09] is there an easy way to pipe jpgs in subfolders to the rm command? [22:09] Tim000, rm ./*.jpg [22:09] slm [22:09] Tim000 check the faq at #bash, this question is answered [22:09] turkçe konuşan varmı [22:09] ok thanks [22:09] tim000 `rm *.jpg` [22:09] !tr | maxspacemax [22:09] maxspacemax: Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, turkce yardim yada geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [22:10] Scunizi: its not only emerald, its also my sound card and my video card, not to mention gstream ugly plugins have stopped working :S [22:10] Tim000: as LjL-Temp says use find something like (totally untested "find . -name '*.jpg' -print0 | xargs -0 rm" [22:10] slimjimflim, MasterShrek: what is the practical difference to what it's doing? [22:10] thanks all [22:11] erUSUL: yes, or just use the exec options of find itself. i'm not particularly familiar with them though so i guess he'll refer to the manpage [22:11] I have this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/+bug/145112 ... Do anybody know how to fix it? :( [22:11] Scunizi: did you get that info I wrote? [22:11] takatski, did all that just start to happen at once..? [22:11] capital86, nope.. I look for lines with my nick since the channel is so busy. [22:11] LjL-Temp, whadda mean? [22:12] hi, anyone knows how to use a command like /msg %me hello on server connect? [22:12] ForzaPalermo - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56894/plain/ - it looks like a lot of work to configure at first, but you can leave most of the default settings as is. run meld or diff to see exactly what i changed from the original. that way you can tell if my file will suit your needs. dont forget to restart samba after you make changes to that file ie sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [22:12] capital86, is the entire ubuntu install on the sata drive? [22:12] erUSUL: I don't funny understand what your second parameter is [22:12] LjL-Temp: find exec syntax is weird i prefer xargs. totally untested means find + rm is *dangerous* handle with care ;) [22:12] Scunizi: Okay sorry. Here is what I have. I have a 160ide, and two 40gig satas. The ubuntu install is on the sata that I removed. I plugged it in the exact same ports and did not remove the other two. [22:12] Can anyone help me with creating ubuntu partitions? [22:13] scunizi: first my sound was really low, but graphics was working fine, then i updated ubuntu, and then my video card kinda went, it gave me over sized title bars. so then i changed my cardtype in display settings, then everytime i boot up i now start in low graphics mode, then i tried to fix my sound by installing ALSA the latest version and when i rebooted my emerald AND sound werent working [22:13] AntiUSA: second parameter ?? [22:13] what goes here : ./file.run [22:13] capital86, did you happen to change the default drive boot order in bios? [22:13] Nourox: what do you mean? [22:13] AntiUSA: the actual filnem of tge run file [22:14] ForzaPalermo - don't forget those last steps either - run smbpasswd to create a password and then again to enable the account. :) [22:14] so if it's file.run, all I have to enter is ./file.run [22:14] no, I just unplugged it then plugged it back in and restarted. [22:14] AntiUSA: the actual filname of the *.run file [22:14] Scunizi: No, I just unplugged it then plugged it back in and restarted. [22:14] AntiUSA: no "sudo ./file.run" or wont install becouse of file permissions [22:14] takatski, well.. first I'd uninstall emerald and get back to the gtk default theme.. then reconfigure x using the line mentioned in the top part of /etc/xorg.conf.. after that see if it works. [22:15] hi, im having some trouble after the instalation of Gutsy, can anyone help me? [22:15] yeah that's what I mea [22:15] nt [22:15] What is the best bittorrent application? What is the FASTEST way to get a torrent? [22:15] I created new partition, and I am at the process of installing Ubuntu. Now I need to create correct "directories (swap,home,etc)", but I have no idea wich ones I need and how much space should I allocate for each one. [22:15] deluge [22:15] !best | mysterioso [22:15] mysterioso: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [22:15] so i enter chmod or chamod? [22:15] someone else said chmod [22:15] capital86, ok.. here's a link that saved me several times. put grub on the drive that boots 1st. http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [22:15] mysterioso: transmission is the client slated for the next release [22:15] AntiUSA: is chmod we all make typos ;) [22:16] oh ok, just making sure [22:16] danbhfive but I want on noowwwww [22:16] thanks for the help :) [22:16] !torrent > mysterioso [22:16] ok great thanks [22:16] mysterioso: yeah, you can get it now, sudo apt-get install transmission [22:16] danand, hey do you use ssh or vpn for security? [22:16] Nourox: when you are installing ubuntu and you get to the partitioner, if you use the "manual" option you have to tell ubuntu to mount the partition you want it installed on as "/" [22:16] So where it asks for mount point, enter "/" [22:17] then it will automatically create the file structure. [22:17] hi all [22:17] ForzaPalermo - err ... never used vpn. so you mean in conjuntion with smb ie to keep it secure? [22:17] hi, what the irc channel for the community council? [22:18] ForzaPalermo - *do [22:18] Kuni, thanks for info, but let say, I want allocate 3GB for swap, how can I do it? [22:18] You have to create a separate partition. when it asks what type, choose "swap" [22:18] make that partition 3GB [22:18] can someone help me with ssh server? === TechnoViking is now known as MikeB [22:18] is there a way to conveniently uninstall packages installed by a metapackage? [22:18] blackbeast:sure [22:19] although unless you have a very small amount of ram or plan to do some heavy processing, I don't know why you'd need so much swap personally. [22:19] Scunizi: I have xp on the 160. Is there any way I can get it to load the windows bootloader and then open windows at least? I dont have time to fix grub tonight but I have to get some work done for school. [22:19] danand, yes itried ssh couldnt ge tit to work [22:19] Scunizi: i uninstalled emerald, then tried a sudo gedit command on xorg.conf and it came up blank [22:19] i am trying to set it up [22:19] in order to connect to comp over mobile phone [22:19] with putty [22:20] capital86: boot the windows installcd enter recovery mode run "fixmbr" [22:20] blackbeast: have you installed ssh in your server?

[22:20] yes [22:20] it is installed [22:20] ForzaPalermo - not quite sure what your asking - are you asking if you'll need to use ssh _with_ samba? [22:20] and running [22:21] i have nokia e60, symbian os [22:21] blackbeast: did you check your firewall to open from outside? [22:21] and installed putty on it [22:21] ForzaPalermo - or just about how to set up ssh on you gnu/linux box?

[22:21] how to set i tup [22:21] i have set the port to 8000, which is opened on router [22:21] Nourox: did you get that? === Nourox is now known as Nouroxx [22:21] hello [22:21] blackbeast, port 8000 is forwarded to the ssh server you are trying to connect to? [22:22] I need to merge 4 m4v files, does anyone know how to do that? [22:22] yes [22:22] how [22:22] takatski, gksudo gedit /etc/xorg.conf [22:22] it is on this computer [22:22] blackbeast: try /sbin/sshd -p 8000 [22:22] tomd: I would try using AviDemux [22:22] it's in Add/Remove [22:22] erUSUL: correct, i thought I would be able to but it doesnt. It comes up with the same exact error. [22:23] bash: /sbin/sshd: No such file or directory [22:23] tomd: add the four videos to a project in AviDemux, then save it as one video file [22:23] blackbeast: sorry, /usr/sbin/sshd -p 8000 [22:23] what is a good gui bittorrent? [22:23] erUSUL: and my ide that has windows is my master drive. [22:23] capital86, fixing grub takes seconds.. check the link. the steps are really easy.. as for booting into windows.. doesn't look that way right now until you fix grub.. if you need to wait can you say "google docs?" [22:23] Scuzini: still blank [22:23] deluge is good [22:23] mysterioso: transmission is good [22:23] so which is better, deluge or transmission? [22:23] mysterioso: deluge is by far the best [22:24] takatski, ah.. sorry gksudo /ext/X11/xorg.conf I always forget the X11 part.. :( [22:24] deluge by 1 [22:24] http://deluge-torrent.org/ [22:24] I've never tried deluge, but I do know that transmission is going to be default in Hardy Heron [22:24] Scunizi: would you recommend super grub disk? [22:24] \j drupal [22:24] (actually, I'm using transmission on Hardy right now) [22:24] kuni is hardy out? [22:24] same [22:24] capital86, never used it.. I found the instructions easy.. [22:24] ForzaPalermo - k. just sudo apt-get install openssh-server i believe. you'll need to configure your firewall again to accept connections on port 22. to connect to a gnu/linux box from another you just type ssh ip_address -o user=username. from windows you can use a ssh client like "putty". putty is free to download off the web [22:24] No, but the alphas are available. Pretty buggy still. [22:25] I am having problems with booting. The alternate install CD was not able to do the last part having to do with grub or lilo, I forget exactly which, happened 2 days ago when I 1st tried to install for the 1st time [22:25] i havent had that many probs with it tbh [22:25] Scuzini : gksudo gedit /ext/X11/xorg.conf ? and if so, still blank :S [22:25] mysterioso: deluge is like a utorrent for linux....transmission is nice, but less features [22:25] so still up for vote. deluge or transmission [22:25] you need to port forward if you have a router [22:25] corevette what features? [22:25] how do i go about uninstalling all the packages associated with a metapackage? [22:25] Transmission is very simplistic (and simple). Let's just say that it's probably the best torrent program on MacOSX (it's cross platform) [22:26] mysterioso: why don't you install both and compare ?? [22:26] I have yet to try deluge [22:26] ForzaPalermo - samba uses ports 137-139 and 445 [22:26] mysterioso: what features? what do you mean [22:26] I had to boot off a diskete I made from the install directory [22:26] blackbeast: working? [22:26] erUSUL cuz Im tryin to keep the extra stuff off [22:26] go to priv [22:26] corevette you said transmission had less features [22:26] blackbeast: did it already.. [22:26] L3ttuc3: apt-cache show metapackage copy the list of dependencies and do sudo apt-get remove --purge [22:26] yes mysterioso [22:27] mysteriso: i would just try both [22:27] you don't answer there [22:27] ;) [22:27] ok guys ill try BOTH [22:27] thanx [22:27] erUSUL thanks. [22:27] fewer features, but it can do pretty much what you need. If you delve into it's settings and details it pretty much has the same functionality as, say, uTorrent, just not as readily available. [22:27] lol mysterioso [22:27] don't worry, if you find you like one better, just sudo apt-get remove the other one. [22:27] takatski, hang on.. I'm looking [22:28] Scunizi: sorry but I'm a huge noob with linux. I see on that webpage where it tells me that it is probaby loading the wrong hd. but how do I change it, if I cant get into linux to fix my menu.lst? [22:28] sooo ill just try transmission [22:28] blackbeast: try /query cyberjames [22:28] capital86, follow the instructions.. no need to edit menu.lst at all. [22:28] transmission wins the bittorrent vote WOOOOO [22:28] lol [22:28] capital86: you can with the liveCD mounting the partitions from it [22:29] i tried... nothing [22:29] Yeah, transmission's pretty good. I still miss uTorrent from my windows partition, and I don't want to bother running it in WINE. [22:29] ?!?! [22:29] Scunizi: Thanks for the help. Im going to give this a shot. [22:29] mysterioso, just to throw you a curveball, ktorrent is my fav, runs fine under gnome, lots of features. never used deluge though but ive heard its good too [22:29] takatski, was I typing gksudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etx? it should be etc [22:30] MasterShrek: I had a hard time getting "Open with kTorrent" to work in gutsy [22:30] hey guys [22:30] thanks for the help, i will figure it out [22:30] cyberjames, do you see the priv window?! [22:30] takatski, don't forget to add gedit in there too. [22:30] any good software for video joining in ubuntu? [22:30] blackbeast: nothing :( [22:30] scunizi: u were typing ext lol, etc works [22:30] Kuni, never tried it, i run kde so it just works :) [22:30] ?! [22:30] takatski, my bad as they say.. [22:30] !register | blackbeast [22:30] blackbeast: 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. [22:30] ah, well, there you go! :) [22:30] i use x-chat [22:30] aaa [22:30] hey, ubuntu doesnt recognize my cd drive [22:30] What does "Invalid GUID" mean when you play an online game? [22:30] blackbeast: have you registered your nick? [22:30] ForzaPalermo - its quite simple once you know how ;) Good luck and np for the help [22:30] no, i haven't [22:31] i mean it shows under "computer", but ubumtu wont mount it [22:31] blackbeast: register first [22:31] ok, wait a sec [22:31] ok [22:31] any good software for video joining in ubuntu? [22:31] Scunizi: no biggie, and u mean take the sudo command thats in # in that file? [22:31] takatski, yes [22:31] killux: type "lsmod | grep cdrom" [22:31] amerio: avidemux ?? [22:31] erUSUL does it work with wmv files? [22:32] killux if you are trying to connect to a windows machine try putting its IP address in to nautilus [22:32] Scunizi: its giving me a warning and it looks like its not proceding overwriting possibly-customised configuration [22:32] Kuni, cdrom 37536 1 sr_mod [22:32] how to check [22:32] if i registered?! [22:32] k, so it's there [22:32] what's on the cd? [22:32] Kuni, yes, counter strike source install [22:32] i am trying my luck with cedega [22:33] ah [22:33] killux - also check you are a member of the cdrom group. type groups in a terminal and see if cdrom is on the output [22:33] takatski, do you have the propiatory driver loaded for your vid card? [22:33] cyberjames, how to check if i registered [22:33] ?! [22:33] but you can't open it? [22:33] Scunizi: im not sure what u mean [22:33] is that the IP address for my server or my router ?? [22:33] this install is putting me to sleep its taking so long [22:33] danand, i am amember [22:33] Kuni, i cannot open it [22:33] blackbeast: /msg nickserv identify [22:33] takatski, do you have the "effects" enabled for cube and rotate etc? [22:33] Any ffmpeg gurus around? Will ffmpeg convert .swf to other formats first? [22:33] ok now I have a question I am installing ISPCONFIG AHHH and its asking me for " Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web " [22:34] is that the IP address for my server or my router ?? [22:34] Scunizi: well it was working to some degree before so i think yes, but now emerald is uninstalled so [22:34] erUSUL does it work with wmv files? [22:34] grezer: 192.168.1.254? [22:34] Can anyone help takatski with stuck video resolution? I've gotta run.. sorry takatski .. I'm passing the buck here. [22:34] killux: does the folder "/media/cdrom" exist? [22:35] i got the message [22:35] i see it [22:35] if not, try "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom" [22:35] Scunizi : np [22:35] Kuni, it exists [22:35] transmission is pretty good, but my download rate goes from 8-28 k/s [22:35] ok [22:35] then it's mounted [22:35] is there a way to change the volume setting sensitivity? i have very little control now; my computer's almost completely silent when the slider is at 75%... [22:36] but it shows nothing on it, or cedega can't open it? [22:36] anyway to make it more stable? [22:36] both [22:36] Hey. I've got a little server that I run at home. For all of today, I've been getting a bad connection to it. It's just become available again. I looked through /var/log/auth.log and found this: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/660 - Is it anything to worry about? [22:36] Nouroxx its asking this question Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web [22:36] !gdm [22:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:36] the disc might be corrupted, that would be my guess. I'm not all that experienced with cd problems, though, so it could be something else. [22:37] gdm? [22:37] Kuni, i just manually mounted the device and it shows in the file browser [22:37] hold on let me try cedega [22:37] I'm trying to analyze network traffic and ntop sounded great... it's described as being like the top Unix command... it's not like that at all. what's a real command like top that shows network traffic? [22:37] is it necessary to have a firewall program such as firestarter running, or is the firewall always running and firestarter is just to manage it [22:37] Will ffmpeg convert .swf files to other formats ? [22:37] Hey. I've got a little server that I run at home. For all of today, I've been getting a bad connection to it. It's just become available again. I looked through /var/log/auth.log and found this: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/660 - Is it anything to worry about? [22:37] !login [22:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about login - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:38] what are some good gdm sites? [22:38] and then gives an example of 192.168.0.1 [22:38] Kuni, you dont happen to know the command for cedega [22:38] any one know some good GDM sites? [22:39] is it necessary to have a firewall program such as firestarter running, or is the firewall always running and firestarter is just to manage it [22:39] danand, thanks man [22:39] mysterioso: what do you want to know about gdm? [22:39] Kuni, ah ha! [22:39] no, but I know in Cedega's GUI there's both an option for installing from CD and installing from an installer. [22:39] F1 2008-02-21 17:39:04,795 WARNING Optical drive detection: there appears to be an incompatibility with installed dbus bindings. [22:39] cedega gives me that error [22:39] fliegenderfrosch i want to download some new ones [22:39] the login screens [22:39] mysterioso: gnome-look.org [22:40] thanks [22:40] so no one knows what this questions is then ?? [22:40] do you have any ideas Kuni? [22:40] killux: I don't know then. I would try opening the installer off of the CD instead of the CD in Cedega [22:40] trying to watch a DVD and totem is telling me i need libdvdcs to read encrypted dvd's but i'm unable to install this package...any ideas? [22:41] Hi I am unable to switch to norwegian keyboard. Can anyone help? [22:41] When I go to "Places -> Network" I end up in Nautilus look at some other Windows computers on my network. I can see the computers, but when I click on one, I wait a long time and then it says "Couldn't connect". Anyone know how to make it so I can connect? [22:41] levander I work around that by putting the windows machine ip address into nautilus [22:42] SkinnypuppY34: thanks, but they're dynamic IP's [22:42] SkinnypuppY34: But, this is a common issue? [22:42] then I can see all the shares something in the name resolution [22:42] just so you know, killux, I've had very little success with steam apps in cedega. They don't like to mix well with compiz usually. [22:42] I got a question: why does my memory consumption rise with time when azureus is running ??? [22:42] SkinnypuppY34: I have no idea what your last sentence means. [22:42] compiz? kuni? [22:42] any way to boost the sound on xubuntu? [22:43] what does compiz have to do with it [22:43] andrea6030: alsa-mixer [22:43] is it necessary to have a firewall program such as firestarter running, or is the firewall always running and firestarter is just to manage it [22:43] mad_max02: because azureus is a memory hog. [22:43] andrea6030: type 'alsa-mixer' on a command line [22:43] killux: your desktop effects manager, basically. [22:43] Kuni, whats connected to a memory consumption ?? [22:43] command not found [22:43] Oh something in the resolution of windows machine names to IP address , others have suggested samba config [22:43] Kuni, Java or Azureus itself ?? [22:43] Kuni, and is there anything I can do to prevent it ? [22:44] Will someone please help to fix the keyboard? When I try to select norwegian keyboard layout, only a error message appears error while activating XKB-configuration. [22:44] nvm got it to work by install libdvdcss2 [22:44] because after startup system takes about 380mb of ram and after few days of using azures it rises almost to 1gb [22:44] how do you uninstall a program and the deps the package installed [22:44] which is apsurd [22:44] mad_max02: dunno. I've never found azureus to be that kind to my system stats. I think it's a combination of the program and the fact that it is built in java. Try using Transmission or Deluge instead. [22:44] mad_max02: memory is a resource used by programs. You're computer only has so much memory when you buy it. If a single program uses too much memory, people don't like that because it doesn't leave enough for other programs and your computer becomes slow. Use too much memory == memory hog. [22:44] whats the package for alsa-mixer [22:45] how do I stop ubuntu from loading gdm right away? [22:45] in sessions [22:45] I want it to go straight to command line instead of the gui [22:45] killux: you can go into Synaptic, find the package, and "mark for complete removal" or use "sudo aptitude remove" [22:45] Can Ubuntu decompress .rar files? [22:45] Kuni, that doesnt remove deps [22:46] Devourer: yes. [22:46] yea [22:46] levander, I understood what memory hog means but I dont know how to prevent it. I have 4gb and that consumption doesnt give me problems but I would like to know what to do [22:46] just config files [22:46] Kuni, cool. [22:46] hey i've got a problem with my grub it says always error 17... i checked already about the hd but it is (hd1,0)... any 1 got an idea [22:46] killux: not even aptitude? [22:46] pretty sure [22:46] hmm [22:46] , sudo apt-get install unrar [22:46] mad_max02: Don't use programs that are memory hogs is what you do. [22:46] :D [22:46] andrea6030: My bad, it's alsamixer - all one word. I just checked. [22:46] what like compiz =P [22:47] its the same thing of xfce4-mixer [22:48] killux: i'm not entirely sure then. I'm sure there's a way to remove unused dependencies, though [22:48] hey i've got a problem with my grub it says always error 17... i checked already about the hd but it is (hd1,0)... any 1 got an idea??? [22:48] deborphan [22:48] Kuni, how? [22:48] deborphan will remove orphaned packages [22:48] pr rather list them [22:48] o [22:48] could someone do me a favor and reply to me using Housefly7k: jut need to test something out [22:49] How can I enable the builtin :0 vncserver from the command line?

I am unable to write norwegian characters. What can I do ? [22:54] ICXCNIKA: gnome has more features, but also uses more resources.

[23:35] mysterioso: it's an executable file that installs realplayer. You would do chmod u+x /path/to/ && sudo /path/to/ [23:36] does /path/to/~ equal the actual path?

[23:36] gyahhhh [23:36] :( [23:36] mysterioso: that is, you fill in the real path [23:36] blackbeast, now you want your router to advertise that port as open to the outside world = and that is beyond this channel other than to say you are looking at nat [23:36] vlt: try adding "-Y", it sometimes works instead of "-X" (don't know the real difference, though) === haxit is now known as HaXiT [23:37] Jewsus_: not to worry, it's building the man page index [23:37] Trying to get a broadcom 4310 installed.

[23:52] chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin && sudo ./Realplayer10GOLD.bin [23:52] ? [23:52] there is none [23:52] yup [23:52] mysterioso: yes [23:52] thats the point!

[23:54] tachu There is an option to preserve other operating systems when you install it [23:54] wtf is this realplayer10gold.bin file that doesnt exist on my system that you want me to use [23:54] !install > tachu [23:54] kronus_ i am in the desktop, and the last command resulted in sh: cant open [23:54] How do I get Xen running on gutsy? [23:54] runemaste644: forget about it [23:54] kellis this is for dual boot or only ubuntu? [23:54] i deleted a .conf file and now i can't apt-get remove it, any idea how i can apt-get remove this?

[23:57] mysterioso: ok, it looks like you need to run it directly, without sh. I think you were in the wrong directory at first [23:57] JasonWard not sure if that's THE best way, but it will probably work ;) [23:57] xybre: that query resulted this page; http://itcompanies.wordpress.com/2008/01/22/xen-on-ubuntu-gutsy/ [23:57] whabo: www.screenlets.org [23:57] MJW : OK, I will google some more using that as my key, thanks :) [23:57] mysterioso: so, get into the proper dir, then sudo ./Realplayer10GOLD.bin [23:58] whabo: Opera (the webbrowser) can also run widgets for you [23:58] thx guys [23:58] JasonWard /etc/rc.local is a file that executes automatically after everything else has started automatically [23:58] whabo: no problem [23:58] _kronus i am most def. in the desktop. but ill do it just to make you happy [23:58] sudo ./Realplayer10GOLD.bin: command not found [23:58] kellis - per acer "Pointing Device [23:58] [23:58] Seamless touchpad pointing device with 4-way scroll button" [23:58] twosouls82: awesome, I like blank pages as much as the next guy, but wtf.
