[00:02] !shadow user [00:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about shadow user - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:02] nickrud_: well... I read those docs a dozen times, but just found it there... it's "d-i apt-setup/use_mirror boolean false"... thanks [00:03] what is the command to open a .jar file? [00:03] bod_, you put . in your path and if you happen to type the name of an executable file thats in the current directory, bobs your unble, its executed [00:03] Which version is the most recent: gutsy or hardy? O_o [00:03] hey, does anyone have any experience with an ADA compiler (gnat) and ubuntu? i got it from synaptic, but dont know how to compile my adb file from it [00:03] bod_, don't [00:03] Squawk, ok,. cool,.,.thanks for the info,.,.;~) [00:03] hardy [00:03] please help [00:03] !ask | bashir [00:03] bashir: 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. :-) [00:03] nickrud_, he did ask, he asked about .jar files [00:03] bashir, google is your friend [00:04] how do i open a .jar file [00:04] Squawk: ah, missed that. [00:04] bashir, i never heard of .jar, so find out what application creates one [00:04] java [00:04] it's java. Don't use java myself [00:04] Squawk, that would be a java file [00:04] bashir: what are you trying to do? [00:04] its for the java runtime enviornment [00:04] bashir, try using firefox? [00:04] bashir: java -jar foo.jar, or unzip [00:05] bashir: a quick google popped this up http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/25239-how-unpack-jar-files-linux.html [00:05] thanks [00:05] * bod_ wonders if there is a 'google is your friend' factoid? [00:05] Where can I get libatk1.0-udeb for gutsy? [00:06] Photocopy, repo? [00:06] !google [00:06] Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com - Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux [00:06] bod_: Not in there [00:06] Photocopy, ok [00:06] Photocopy: apt-get install libatk1.0-0 [00:06] bashir: and upon reading that... it looks like its not as helpful as the title may lead it to be. sorry about that [00:06] Photocopy: (and it is there) ;) [00:06] hischild, thanks, never worked with java [00:06] mneptok: Im looking for libatk1.0-udeb [00:06] beautifulsnow, i was thinkin more of one that tells people to use oogle (not just informing them of its exixtence) [00:06] Photocopy: probably have to find it on the cd [00:07] How the heck can i mount my 3 ntfs discs in ubuntu? [00:07] bod_ change topic maybe ^_^ [00:07] nickrud_: Arent those things in the repos though? [00:07] i did it once in an older isntall, i know it can be done [00:07] Photocopy: or archive.ubuntu.com/pool [00:07] * bod_ ;~) [00:07] basso, mount -t ntfs partition directory [00:07] Photocopy: no, they're installation debs, not regular ones [00:07] basso: (put sudo infront of that) [00:07] what will this command do"sudo passwd -l root" [00:07] how do i know the partion directory? [00:07] basso, ntfs3g [00:07] nickrud_: I dont even understand you anyway [00:07] icesword: locks the root password [00:08] !ntfs3g | basso [00:08] basso: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions === maco_ is now known as macogw [00:08] Photocopy: udebs are special debs designed to be used during installation only [00:08] Squawk, no problem. I might not know it all, but i try to help where i can :-) [00:08] Ubuntu 7.10 comes with an NTFS driver and mounts NTFS partitions by default. [00:08] hmmm [00:08] basso, the directory is any directory you want (maybe /media/windows1 /media/windows2 and /media/windows3. The partitions themselves look in fdisk [00:08] nickrud_, that means i cannot use su become root,right [00:09] basso, ntfs3g will make your life alot easier then doing it manually [00:09] *Question*: I attempted to install wmware but it failed, but now whenever I try to install ANY other applicaiton, apt-get tries to configure/reinstall(?) wnmare... how can I stop it? [00:09] basso, probably something like sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/windows1 (make windows1 with mkdir and check the partition id) [00:09] nickrud_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/libatk1.0-udeb says libatk1.0-udeb is in the universe repos. I have it enabled and the package is not there. [00:09] icesword: yes. you can, however, use sudo -i to get the same results [00:09] beautifulsnow, sudo apt-get purge wmware [00:09] hi all [00:09] I have a white pixel on what appears to be the very top left of my screen and am wondering if anyone else gets this? (Ubuntu 7.10, compiz, gnome) [00:09] wnmare* [00:10] triorieel: what kind of moniter do you have [00:10] nickrud_, would you be able to lock the root password like that? [00:10] bod_ E: Couldn't find package wmware [00:10] Photocopy: because it is not a standard deb. Only .deb files will be visible to a apt-get [00:10] does ubuntu have a preferred log anonymizer/scruber [00:10] ^its software...screen shots show it [00:10] not me tri [00:10] beautifulsnow, use the name of the package (sorry) [00:10] Squawk: yes [00:10] triorieel, sounds like you have a dead pixel [00:10] triorieel: ok. :) [00:10] nickrud_, scary (I aint gonna try it) [00:10] bod_ yeah I tried that and wmware-player, it says the same thing >_> [00:10] beautifulsnow, what command do you use to run the program? [00:10] Squawk: you're still able to use sudo just fine. Preferred setup, anyway [00:10] nickrud_: The package im installing says I need it installed on my system... [00:10] Photocopy - try https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+package/libatk1.0-udeb [00:11] !info wmware [00:11] Package wmware does not exist in gutsy === con-man_ is now known as con-man [00:11] danand_: No, I guess I need teh libatk1.0-0 then right? Although the package im trying to install requires the udeb one.. [00:11] triorieel: do you have any themes installed? [00:11] !find wnmare [00:11] bod_ its a v, not a w ;______; lol *doh! moment* [00:11] Package/file wnmare does not exist in gutsy [00:11] Photocopy: that is very strange, it should be depending on debs not udebs. Unless it's for some micro distro maybe [00:11] !info vmware [00:11] Package vmware does not exist in gutsy [00:12] Photocopy - what package are you trying to install [00:12] nickrud_, I pretty much figure that ubuntu pushes sudo so hard to encourage windows users switching to linux not to work as root (an excellent idea btw). But personaly I dont like the idea of my user password (or one accessible to my normal account) being able to give me root privs [00:12] bluewraith: what do you mean themes? [00:12] !vmware-server [00:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about vmware-server - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:12] bod_: add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vmware-server [00:12] Have a resolver issue where it's trying to also resolve host.remote.domain.local.domain when explicitly requesting the resolution of host.remote.domain. (including final dot) [00:12] * bod_ laughs at nickrud's attempt to out bot me [00:12] * bod_ damn! [00:12] bluewraith: I turned on some compiz addons, but as for gnome themes and such, nope [00:12] danand: libgtk-directfb-2.0-0-udeb [00:12] Anyone know a good article or whatnot about setting up a LAMP on my Desktop so that I could use it to try out something like Joomla? [00:12] bluewraith: what color scheme is your desktop using? It might be a problem with images not fully covering at that one pixel [00:12] beautifulsnow, maybe try 'sudo apt-cache search vmware' to get the exact name? [00:12] triorieel: was it there before compiz? [00:12] beautifulsnow, add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vmware-server [00:13] bod_: I've suggested that as a factoid, until then I have it as a text replace ;) [00:13] triorieel, not just a dead pixel on your monitor (guess out of left field) [00:13] not sure...I don't even know if I turned compiz on or if was turned on by default and I just enabled some extras [00:13] nickrud_, i think we need a better 'google is your friend' factoid ;~) [00:13] swaj figured out its vmware-server .... bod_ wiill try, thanks [00:13] Photocopy - what does that do? [00:13] factotum, easy.. download the server version and when installing it (in a VM or otherwise) it will ask if you want a lamp install.. say yes. 20 mins later you're ready to install joomla.. [00:13] Squawk: I have screenshots that shows the pixel [00:13] Anyone else having a problem with linux-restricted-modules? [00:13] bod_: check my part message [00:13] Never mind. Seems to be a problem somewhere else, not ubuntu... [00:13] triorieel, ouch, k [00:14] nickrud_, whats a part message? [00:14] danand_: libgtk-directfb-2.0-0-udeb included in an archive downloaded form this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/global_menu#deb which said to install all the debs in the archive, it stuck on this one. [00:14] bod_: ah, you must have part/join messaged disabled [00:14] nickrud_, i see al the green (in) red (out) lines when people join and stuff [00:14] bod_: so, look at my part (out) message [00:14] factotum, of course if I missed the point of installing lamp on your current ubuntu machine that's a little different. [00:15] how do i customize my taskbar to not get in the way of kiba -dock? - any tutorial to make it look good right now it looks stupid [00:15] nickrud_, ("http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#before") ??? thats a good sort of site ,.,.has it a factoid ? [00:15] Jahromeo: generally people just remove the bottom panel when they run kiba dock [00:15] <|Prometheus|> hi... can someone offer e a little help please.... Whenever I startup the system (Ie. After X Starts) Gimp loads twice... its a low ram system, so this is slowing everything down... its not listed in autostarted apps [00:15] hi, is there an installer to install ubuntu with an encrypted filesystem? [00:15] Squawk - if your uncomfortable with sudo privs in your normal account then first create another user (say superme) and give that user sudo privs by adding the user to the admin group. then remove yourself from the admin group/ [00:16] factotum, if you're already running ubuntu you can just install mysql and php5 and apache2 [00:16] Is there a reason why dpkg and synaptic don't have the same list of available packages? [00:16] it's time to stop the discussion of sudo vs. root accounts. the topic is old, and belongs in -offtopic. [00:16] Anyone else having a problem with linux-restricted-modules? I just updated the kernel and now it's broken. [00:16] danand_: libgtk-directfb-2.0-0-udeb included in an archive downloaded form this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/global_menu#deb which said to install all the debs in the archive, it stuck on this one. [00:17] bluewraith: I put 'Visual Effects' to none and the pixel is still there. (assuming none turns compiz off) [00:17] how do i remve the panel nickrud? [00:17] Hi, where can i get help about dvb setting on ubuntu? here or in some other chan?? [00:17] triorieel: it could be your monitor [00:18] aimchanger: screenshots show the pixel being white === gizbot_ is now known as gizbot [00:18] triorieel: where is the pixel? top left? [00:18] danand_ [00:18] bluewraith: yes [00:19] Hey, how can I avoid having to type my password in every time I want to access my hard drives? [00:19] how do i open folders as root? [00:19] Bash script? I never have to through the GUI [00:19] bluewraith: I have an lcd monitor which could be helping me notice it more. I only noticed it when placing a fullscreen video (black edges) [00:19] I've been using UUID's in fstab for a while and it worked fine, but now its asking for passwords again. [00:19] how do i remve the panel as its in the way of my dock atm - any ideas? [00:19] basso: sudo gnome-open FOLDER_PATH [00:19] basso why would you want to? [00:19] danand_, my initial question was just about initial root password after a clean install. After that the debate spred out a bit. This box is nicely tied down [00:20] Jahromeo: right click it [00:20] triorieel: thats weird.... so its on top of all programs, yet its not a dead pixel? [00:20] Photocopy - hey sorry; was just looking at that page... wait one [00:20] Jahromeo, right click it [00:20] Jahromeo: right click the panel, and select remove (you may have to remove a few items on the panel to get access to the panel itself) [00:20] check if i can write stuff to the ntfs discs [00:20] danand_: K sorry back to you for being impatient [00:20] i cant removep anel :( [00:20] its greyed out [00:20] Squawk - k [00:20] bluewraith: I could send you screenshots of my normal desktop or something that has a black screen to show it [00:20] Sqawk / danand_: it's time to stop the discussion of sudo vs. root accounts. the topic is old, and belongs in -offtopic. [00:21] has anybody gotten Real10 to work with ubuntu, or do they know another way to play rmvb files? [00:21] danand_: Im going to write down your name and reboot.. brb. [00:21] basso: I think you have to install some program so you can see a NTFS partition [00:21] triorieel: I belive you, even though curiosity is getting the better of me. [00:21] Mine is jerky, jerky ,jerky [00:21] i right clicked -remove all, but i still cant remove the panel -- any ideas? [00:21] odinsbane: VLC doesn't work? [00:21] i have mounted it sucsessfully [00:21] <|Prometheus|> hi... can someone offer e a little help please.... Whenever I startup the system (Ie. After X Starts) Gimp loads twice... its a low ram system, so this is slowing everything down... its not listed in autostarted apps [00:21] triorieel: just trying to think of anything that might sit on top of all windows that would cause the white spot [00:21] I haven't tried vlc [00:21] Jahromeo: did you right-click the panel and try "delete this panel?" [00:21] odinsbane: try installing VLC, it plays basically everything [00:22] basso: sudo ls -l /media/windows1/ to see whats in there and if its writeable [00:22] Jahromeo: is it the only panel on your screen? [00:22] if i right click and try remove panel then nothing happens its greyed out and i have 0 apps on the panel anymore removed everything [00:22] kiba-dock is open [00:22] Jahromeo: did you right-click the panel and try **************** "delete this panel?" ****************** [00:22] Jahromeo: not "remove" but "delete" [00:22] mneptok - there is no delete this panel , remove this panel is greyed out [00:22] it wont let me [00:22] Jahromeo: you can't remove the last panel by right clicking it. [00:22] triorieel: sudo apt-get install vlc [00:23] Jahromeo: see nickrud_ [00:23] where do i remove it under what option list? [00:23] Jahromeo: add a top panel and then remove the other [00:23] Jahromeo: so you want no gnome panels at all? [00:23] blah shoulda mentioned its kde and kubuntu :P [00:23] thought i was in the other channel [00:23] aimchanger: its not the media player, I only noticed it playing a video because of the black areas (top bar doesn't give it the contrast to notice easily) [00:23] * nickrud_ kicks Jahromeo all around the channel ;) [00:23] **Question: Was anyone here been able to the mac/global menu for gnome? [00:24] Squawk: I see bunch of stuff, and they are readable === CarNagE` is now known as Carnage\ === nickrud_ is now known as nickrud [00:24] Jahromeo: if you'd like, i can ban you here and just forward you to #kubuntu ;) >:) [00:24] danand_: Anything? [00:24] basso, try man sudo, there is a command of some kind that lets you issue about 10 commands as root I think (might be more), but I dont know what it is [00:25] triorieel: Did ya install it? [00:25] it seems i can write to disk now [00:25] Photocopy - sorry - I cant find any reference to them packages on that page - your doing the global menu thing right? [00:25] How can i share the disks over the network? [00:25] basso: check out Samba [00:25] i only got ubuntu machines here [00:25] aimchanger: vlc meaning videolan client. nope [00:25] basso: samba if you want to share with Windows boxes [00:26] basso cifs [00:26] anybody here from japan? [00:26] no windowsboxes.. only ubuntu here [00:26] aimchanger: I will if you honestly think it would fix it [00:26] hola a todos, me podeis ayudar un disco duro externo plis? me da la siguiente salida --> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/externo -o force [00:26] Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file: [00:26] /dev/sda1 /media/externo ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0 [00:26] triorieel: yeah, it plays a lot of different formats of media. run the command: sudo apt-get install vlc [00:26] danand_: Yes, read the installation instructions part. those tar.gz archives arent package, they're archives, or at least i can say the second one is, its full of about 10 debs, all of which installed but the one... Note how installation instructions section says to install all teh debs? Thats what it must mean [00:26] basso: samba is stil good for network sharing, even with only linux boxes, but you might try nfs too. I don't have much experience with it, but I've heard it's fairly good. [00:27] triorieel: I mean basically you just want to play a certain type of video or audio file right? Chances are, VLC supports it [00:27] Well VLC is installed and it says it is playing [00:27] triorieel: theres no harm in trying it. If you still don't want it, just uninstall it [00:27] I have sound but no video. [00:27] aimchanger: I installed it. but I am not having issues with playing videos. I am seeing a white pixel in gnome [00:28] aimchanger: without playing video etc.. [00:28] Oh my bad. I meant for that to go to odinsbane. Sorry. [00:28] odinsbane: try googling for a codec for that extension. What is it again? [00:28] anyone know where to get kiba-dock? sourceforge lists no files to dl [00:29] .rmvb [00:29] bluewraith, http://www.kiba-dock.org/ [00:29] Photocopy - ok - sorry i was just waiting for that to download - got in now [00:29] wus up ppls [00:29] danand_: And you see what I mean right? I guess it patches gtk... maybe thats why they are udebs? [00:29] scunizi: i may be stupid, but i dont see any download links? [00:29] Photocopy - s/in/it [00:29] odinsbane: Try mPlayer. its like VLC, but supports some different types I guess. [00:30] odinsbane: try this link: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/27/how-to-play-rmvb-files-in-ubuntu/ [00:30] Photocopy - have you install the actual libgtk-directfb-2.0-0_2.12.0-1ubuntu3.1_i386.deb first? [00:30] bluewraith, well at a quick glance they mentioned a new server on sourceforge.. http://www.kiba-dock.org/ [00:30] ok seriously who knows how to disable kicker - the kubuntu panel - apparently nobody in kubuntu does [00:30] danand_: I really dont know, but about half those debs said they required something that was already listed as installed in synaptic, then when i checked they were all already installed themselves [00:31] * liddokun be back [00:31] bluewraith, posted the same link. check out the text on the page and you'll see the link [00:31] Photocopy - how are you trying to install those debs? [00:31] anyone know of a chat client to try out besides Xchat...just want to look around a bit [00:32] danand_: The one in teh archive wouldnt install, it said i needed libgtk-2.0-0 which is listed as installed in synaptic, then i searched libgtk-directfb-2.0-0 and it said that was already installed [00:32] scunizi: yes, it takes me to sf, but under "downloads" lists nothing? [00:32] danand_: Double click in nautilus, bringing them up in gdebi. [00:32] Cain_: Gaim, LostIRC, Loqui, IRSSI, WeeChat [00:32] or for Kubuntu: Konversation, KvIRC, Kopete [00:32] aimchanger: Gaim = pidgin now, but I bet you already know... just a good idea to be as right as possible [00:32] bluewraith: Ive closed all programs in gnome except Xchat (loaded it up after noticing problem) and its still there. ctrl+alt+F1 doesn't show the pixel so it is something gnome. If you don't experience it where should I go from here? [00:33] Photocopy: Yeah, just too lazy to type it haha [00:33] bluewraith, To check out kiba-dock from the Sourceforge server run: [00:33] svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk kiba [00:33] You will find all kiba related Software in the kiba Directory. [00:34] anyone else notice _bsddb.so is missing from python2.5 on todays hardy updates? [00:34] import bsddb will fail a horrible death [00:34] scunizi: thanks. i was thinking there was going to be a tarball or something to dl... [00:34] vwduder: ask about it in #ubuntu+1 [00:34] nickrud: ah thanks [00:35] Photocopy - think you may already have some of those packages installed _but_ older versions. try dpkg -l | grep libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev and see what output (if any) you ger [00:35] i've installed new ati driver. but compiz don't work...

[00:37] exit [00:37] istall broadcom drivers [00:37] so that internet will work [00:38] every time i try to move a file on it it gives me an error message: Error while copying to "/home/daniel/Desktop".You do not have permissions to write to this folder. [00:38] yo__ - ok. Do you know the name of the module/driver you wish to install? [00:38] bcm43xx [00:38] Does anyone who has an lcd monitor take a look at the very top left pixel and tell me what video card you have and if the pixel is white (may be hard if your top bar is whitish) [00:39] danand_: Anything? [00:39] yo__: ubuntu should have standard support for that network card [00:39] every time i try to move a file on my desktop it gives me an error message: Error while copying to "/home/daniel/Desktop".You do not have permissions to write to this folder. [00:39] i've installed new ati driver. but compiz don't work... Desktop effects could not be enabled wath can i do? [00:39] well it doesn't [00:39] waiting for ibex. [00:39] yo__: what does lspci says? [00:40] yo__: try to extract the firmware from a windows driver witch bcm43xx-cutter [00:40] i dunno [00:40] how do i do that? [00:40] yo__: and copy it to /lib/firmware [00:40] in terminal enter lspci -n [00:40] danand_: I guess I can't install anything unless its from synaptic... Thanks anyway [00:40] yo__ - cool. in a terminal type sudo modprobe bcm43xx. afterwards type lsmod | grep bcm43xx. if you get some output (should be one line or so) you've installed the module [00:40] command not found [00:41] Photocopy - did you try that dpkg command? [00:41] probably on 08:danand: yea but ndiswrapper it works better [00:41] danand_: Yes and I said the output twice... [00:41] yo__: try sudo lspci -n [00:41] danand_: ii libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev 2.12.0-1ubuntu3 Development files for the GTK+ library - Dir [00:42] after i do that [00:42] Photocopy - you gotta use my nick otherwise i don't see it :) - sorry [00:42] the keyboard becomes inactive and i cant put in the password [00:42] it doesn't matter, just enter the password [00:43] danand_: I highlight every time i say something directly to someone. I know. And according to my log, I did that. [00:43] enter waht password === explodingferret is now known as ferret [00:43] im totlally lost [00:43] admin [00:43] root password [00:43] !root [00:43] 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 [00:43] alright [00:44] danand_: actually, nevermind that bit, it followed a previous message so I assumed that you were still paying attention [00:44] anyone aware of a way to move X apps from a local Xserver to a remote Xserver via ssh? (like 'screen' but for X apps?) There's an old-old app called 'xmove' but it doesn't work, and the research I've done on it shows it to be buggy, but the app had the right idea (detaching a gui-application and reattaching later)... - any thoughts? (VNC and NX are whole-desktop, I'd prefer app-specific) [00:44] danand_: ii libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev 2.12.0-1ubuntu3 Development files for the GTK+ library - Dir [00:44] Is there an official procedure for helping out here, or do I just start answering questions? [00:44] tmcfulton: the latter [00:44] every time i try to move a file on my desktop it gives me an error message: Error while copying to "/home/daniel/Desktop".You do not have permissions to write to this folder. [00:44] help [00:44] tmcfulton: you start answering [00:44] Alright [00:44] danielis not that complicated [00:44] tmcfulton: use the bot when it applies [00:44] like this [00:45] all u gotta do is [00:45] mine isn't that complicated [00:45] Daniel3: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/Desktop [00:45] !helpme | Daniel3 [00:45] Daniel3: 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 [00:45] hmm never mind then [00:45] helppp oh i have no idea what to do [00:45] how do i make the internet work? [00:45] how do i get flash for konqueror? [00:45] Photocopy - ok. the version the guide is installing is libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev_2.12.0-1ubuntu3.1_i386.deb (read 3.1) and you have 3. have you seen if you can remove that version? try typing sudo apt-get -s remove libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev. that will just simulate the removal - it won't actually do anything [00:45] sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/Desktop [00:45] yo__: just follow the steps [00:45] so that is the command [00:45] what steps? [00:46] prince_jammys: "Help me " and stuff doesnt do anything, the channel is damn near that . [00:46] yo__: enter lspci -n in terminal [00:46] command not found [00:46] lspci ? [00:46] yeah. [00:46] Ispci [00:46] danand_: I think that "worked" [00:46] anyone know how i can get the bash-completion package? [00:46] LjL: Thanks that worked [00:46] lspci -n, not Ispci [00:46] L [00:46] yeah [00:46] Ispci -n [00:47] neither of them work [00:47] lowercase L [00:47] says command not found [00:47] Daniel3: you might want to run for safety also sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~ [00:47] wtf.... [00:47] that would help lol [00:47] now it worked lmao [00:47] k what am i looking for? [00:47] i did that [00:47] worked what? [00:47] in lspci -n [00:47] what am i looking for in there? [00:48] ok [00:48] wait [00:48] kk [00:48] Photocopy - did the output say it was gonna remove a load of other packages? [00:48] Is defragging necessary on ext3? [00:48] danand_: you think installing a newer one would work? If i try to install from a deb that has dependencies, it wont seem to recognize if they are installed or not correctly. [00:48] yo__: you look for your wlan card [00:48] is there something that starts with 43 [00:48] ? [00:49] The following packages will be REMOVED: [00:49] libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev [00:49] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [00:49] Remv libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev [2.12.0-1ubuntu3] [00:49] nuthin but a bunch of numbers [00:49] thanks for the help guys, later [00:49] Darnit... Sorry I keep doing that. [00:49] something like 08:00.0 0280: 14e4:4311 (rev 01) [00:49] ? [00:49] i see 14e4:4311 [00:49] yeah [00:49] OK [00:49] so you have the same card as me [00:49] =) [00:50] its 05:00.0 0280: 14e4:4311 (rev 01) [00:50] Photocopy - ok that seems ok. afterwards you can install the new libgtk-directfb-2.0-dev (3.1) version with dpkg. [00:50] what do i do with it? [00:50] where do i go from here actually [00:50] look, bcm4311 works very good with ndiswrapper [00:50] danand_: Somehow I don't expect it to work... does it have dependencies? What do I do now? [00:50] when i do iwconfig [00:50] lo and eth0 say no wireless extensions [00:50] danand_: Nevermind, this is going to take forever and I dont have time. [00:51] and eth1 says all kinds of information including ESSID:off/any [00:51] it's like an emulator which uses windows drivers for bcm4311 [00:51] ndiswrapper isn't working right [00:51] unless im doing that wrong [00:51] you can make it work [00:51] how do i do that? [00:51] how? lol [00:51] Photocopy - k. your probably right - that guide seemed quite involved.. if you feel like giving it a shot another time .... [00:52] first you need to blacklist native driver for bcm43xx [00:52] is anyone able to help me setup a lowpass filter through alsa [00:52] echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:52] where do i get that from [00:52] in terminal [00:52] echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:52] k h/o [00:52] im following the guide but having some trouble [00:52] ???? [00:52] hold on [00:52] a [00:52] danand_: I had no actual intention to use the distro like that, i wanted to see how far i could get it to look like another OS... I think my installation is messed up anyway lol. [00:53] why can i not view flash if i have flashplugin-nonfree installed? [00:53] both konqueror/ffox [00:53] Photocopy - uh oh. gonna buy a mac? [00:53] hey [00:53] uninstall it and re-install it, Jahromeo, it was buggy up until about 12 days ago [00:53] danand_: Nope, I was just seeing how customizable gnome was. [00:53] i am trying to record my desktop with that xvid thingy but I cannot record the sound [00:54] I mean I have set it to record sound but it wont record the sound too :S [00:54] danand_: I would never buy a mac... Its a unix-based OS that is not free... Why would I do it? [00:54] anyone aware of a way to move X apps from a local Xserver to a remote Xserver via ssh? (like 'screen' but for X apps?) There's an old-old app called 'xmove' but it doesn't work, and the research I've done on it shows it to be buggy, but the app had the right idea (detaching a gui-application and reattaching later)... - any thoughts? (VNC and NX are whole-desktop, I'd prefer app-specific) [00:54] it said 'blacklist bcm43xx' [00:54] it's ok [00:54] Photocopy - you can do pretty much anything you like - just depends on how dirty you wanna get your hands [00:54] now... [00:54] or, Jahromeo, go to http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash [00:54] danand_: Yeah, and presuming my installation isnt screwed. === ghost is now known as noodles12 [00:54] what version of ubuntu you have? [00:54] Thanks, bye [00:54] If the LiveCD takes 10 minutes to boot but is fine with noacpi, what can I do to fix this while NOT disabling acpi? [00:54] i am trying to record my desktop with that xvid but I cannot record the sound [00:55] 7.10 [00:55] like me [00:55] downliading it again [00:55] k [00:55] you need to get some packages [00:55] k [00:55] the ubuntu is a seperate computer than this one [00:55] Photocopy - the kernel and most of the os (read gnu) is free - its only the gui stuff and some apps that are proprietry [00:55] ok [00:55] uit [00:55] where do i get the packages? [00:55] i've edited /etc/fstab, how do I commit the changes? [00:55] wait, what? [00:56] what separate? [00:56] daedra: just save the file [00:56] the comp im on right now is windows [00:56] ok [00:56] the other one is ubuntu and doesn't have internet.. so all files are transfered via sneakernet lol [00:56] prince_jammys: and it will then respond to mount'ing? [00:56] you have amd64 or i386? [00:56] 64 [00:56] daedra: yes. you can then do mount /mount/point [00:56] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/amd64/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9/download [00:57] daedra: and fstab will do the rest [00:57] i am trying to record my desktop with xvid but the sound wont be recorded. help plz :( [00:57] prince_jammys: hmm - that's what I thought, but its not working === jhonen is now known as KaiserM [00:57] daedra: what's happening?

[01:01] dang I still don't get video [01:01] jaderaven, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ [01:02] erisco: sudo apt-get install audacity [01:02] erisco: if you want to mix them together there is a program called mixx [01:02] listen to him' [01:02] k thats don [01:02] daedra: success? [01:02] done** [01:02] wait a sec [01:02] prince_jammys: yeah, changed fat32 to vfat, mkdir /mnt/sda3 [01:02] IT WORKED [01:02] archman - yes i know, but if he runs that command on his ubuntu box it will give him the list of packages he needs to get with his windows box [01:02] dl stable 1.52 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482 [01:02] daedra: oh oops, i didn't notice but yeah, vfat [01:02] hi everyone... [01:02] Anyone have any idea why in Ubuntu I have to go into terminal and run "modprobe ndiswrapper" everytime I boot to get network access? [01:03] jeffMASTERflex, not mix, play on top of each other === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [01:03] archman? [01:03] danand_: he didn't mentioned he has any resolved deps [01:03] yea [01:03] Triston, because you didn'T had it to autostart [01:03] erisco: yes, it will play them on top of each other. it's a djing app [01:03] Does anyone know what's better, RGB or YUV? [01:03] what next? [01:03] after ndisk [01:03] Triston: add "modprobe ndiswrapper" to /etc/rc.local [01:03] Triston, menu > system [01:03] okay there is a cpg a .tgz and a few .rpm's how would i go about installing that? [01:03] jeffMASTERflex, I will give mixxx a try then [01:03] you downloaded ndiswrapper source? [01:03] illmortal-> what are you referring to? [01:03] Triston - add the line ndiswrapper to /etc/modules. [01:03] PS3+Linux [01:04] the first three you told me to do are done [01:04] In terms of performance and colors [01:04] im looking for some flash swf editor or studio, is there anythig for ubun? [01:04] now dl stable 1.52 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482 [01:04] illmortal-> thats new to me, YUV means? [01:05] xxBasYxx, someting called convertit will comvert it to avi or mpg and you can then edit with avidemux would that be to your liking ? [01:05] hey [01:05] jeffMASTERflex, doesn't even start up for me [01:05] cherwin - the file /etc/modules is specifically for auto loading of required modules at boot time [01:05] downloading right now [01:05] Triston: the solution of danand_ is the best one [01:05] how can I open a rar archive? [01:05] erisco: starts up fine here [01:05] with WINrar [01:05] jaderaven-> where did you get these? what are they for? [01:05] mysterycool: apt-get unrar [01:05] cedega [01:05] Thanks everyone, doing as suggested now. [01:05] mysterycool, sudo apt-get install unrar and then right click xtract here [01:05] when downloaded extract it on desktop on your ubuntu system [01:05] amenado: its for cedage [01:05] oh k [01:05] k [01:05] cedega* [01:05] jaderaven: they don't have a .deb file? [01:05] doesnt look like it [01:06] jaderaven, did you look at the link I sent you , it explains how to intall on ubuntu , anyting [01:06] danand: yeah i knew that, didn't think about it. Thanks for the tip though [01:06] jeffMASTERflex, ah, it was just slow [01:06] jaderaven: strange. i just looked at a howto that mentions a .deb file [01:06] jaderaven-> .tgz files are source files? then you need to compile them, rpm's are for rpm based system, you may use alien, but some here do not like alien to convert those rpm [01:06] cherwin - np [01:06] yo__: extracted? [01:06] earthquake!!!! [01:06] jaderaven: ah. you need to extract the tgz [01:06] jaderaven, there is a #cedega channel [01:06] amenado.. that's the problem i don't know jack crap about YUV. [01:06] k [01:06] yep [01:07] I dunno if that's better than RGB or not... [01:07] chimp - are you in london? [01:07] open terminal [01:07] The other problem I'm having is my system keeps hard locking, which I'm not sure if it's related to my wifi adapter.. I notice it usually happens under lots of internet usage. [01:07] k [01:07] then cd Desktop [01:07] k [01:07] Pelo: that site was great, but it only gives those each of those like they were all for a seperate app [01:07] illmortal-> on printers the near compliment of RGB are CYMB [01:07] cd [01:07] jeffMASTERflex, I opened them... where is the play button? :s [01:07] jaderaven: you said you have a tgz right? [01:07] k [01:08] sudo [01:08] make uninstall [01:08] manchester danand_ [01:08] erisco: upper left and upper right [01:08] that was cool [01:08] wait what? [01:08] chimp - i thought i was going mad - i felt that earthquake too - i'm in london [01:08] jeffMASTERflex, the right angle brackets? I click them but nothing plays [01:08] Triston-> i can vouch for that, wireless things locks up my system on occasions when it attempts to switch ap to associate [01:08] :prince_jammys yes there is one in there [01:08] did you sudo? [01:08] whooops... [01:08] jaderaven: double click on it and extract it ... it's a zipped archive [01:08] its says do it a couple more times [01:08] erisco: you have to load both channels [01:08] jeffMASTERflex, nothing plays and nothing moves [01:08] till there's no more installed files [01:08] ??? [01:09] OK oK [01:09] lol [01:09] are Live CDs updated often? My computer takes a while to boot so maybe a new one will fix this? [01:09] jeffMASTERflex, I right clicked on the files and specified one for player1 and one for player2 [01:09] amenado> Well at least I'm not the only one. I'm tempted to buy the 30 ft of eternet cable I'd need to get internet into my room. [01:09] is there any files left? [01:09] jeffMASTERflex, what did I miss? [01:09] erisco: play around with it, definitely works [01:09] chimp - that was surreal! never felt nothing like that before [01:09] *ethernet [01:09] anyone aware of a way to move X apps from a local Xserver to a remote Xserver via ssh? (like 'screen' but for X apps?) There's an old-old app called 'xmove' but it doesn't work, and the research I've done on it shows it to be buggy, but the app had the right idea (detaching a gui-application and reattaching later)... - any thoughts? (VNC and NX are whole-desktop, I'd prefer app-specific) [01:09] my whole room shook [01:09] prince_jammys: i extracted it and got 3 folders [01:09] Triston-> it is worth it, go get yourself the 30 footer [01:09] no i farted [01:09] jaderaven: what's in there? [01:10] how do i change directory back to desktop [01:10] http://www.oneofakindhouse.com/contact.html [01:10] why you want to do that now? cd .. [01:10] is anyone using vmware server console on ubuntu 7.10 server? [01:10] chimp - yeh - me too - my monitor started rockin and my desklamp shook about.... car alarms galore!!

[01:11] its still not uninstalling everything [01:11] prince_jammys: a bunch of other folders ending up with a few shell scripts at the end [01:11] ok now make [01:11] make [01:11] Bossmanbeta-> umm your xserver is the display, the app is still running where the sshd(aemon) is, you want to access it from another remote host? [01:11] rrm right click [01:11] k [01:11] chimp - gonna check out news 24 [01:11] jaderaven: any README files? any .deb files? [01:11] then make install [01:11] i did... but removed the applications [01:11] if not errors [01:11] yeah, should be good danand_ [01:11] kinda odd [01:11] its not done with the make command lol [01:11] o [01:11] ok [01:11] rrm so you want it back? [01:11] intstall error.. [01:12] yep [01:12] prince_jammys: none anywhere [01:12] chimp - wonder where epicentre is? [01:12] !help headphones [01:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about help headphones - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:12] yo__: make takes time, it's compiling [01:12] manchester has a lot of earthquajes [01:12] what's the error? [01:12] amenado, right, but if I disconnect the ssh -- the X app dies... I can't detach it, like you could with 'screen' for non-gui apps [01:12] quakes [01:12] small ones [01:12] !sound > black_adder [01:12] what file does xclipboard write/read from for copy and paste. im not sure if it writes directly to the app itself or a file the zpp reads from? [01:12] but lots [01:12] so maybe here [01:12] after i put make.. it finished then make install [01:12] chimp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:12] the error 1 i think [01:12] what error? [01:12] rrm right click > add to panel [01:12] is here any one who can help me with sound problem in ubuntu 7.10 and acer 4710z with relatek audio [01:12] just woken up by quake!!! [01:13] danand_ : Thanks for the help. [01:13] UK south of York [01:13] hi. can anyone tell me why some DOS program running in doxbox will say my loopback device is not a valid 1.44" disk? [01:13] permission denied as well [01:13] Bossmanbeta-> okay, am curious as well, vnc doesnt solve it for you? or xfrb ? [01:13] Quake 1? [01:13] rrm now you want the menu bar [01:13] Earthquake [01:13] jaderaven: well, something is up.. i'm looking at this link and it's talking about a .deb file. maybe check the site to see if there is one. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega#head-ef048728dd3a8751ca64277052178fdb2ee07184 [01:13] you need to type sudo in front of every command !!!! [01:13] yo__: do it as sudo, put sudo before the command [01:13] an earthquake in the UK? really? [01:14] k [01:14] Kid you not [01:14] archman: for security you do! [01:14] my flash drive has been copying for a while now. it took 2 full minutes to copy 1mb of data. i hope this flash drive isnt about to die too :-/ could being FAT (not FAT32) formatted have anything to do with that? [01:14] yeah... that is why i would want... thanks komputers [01:14] how can i install mozilla 3.0 [01:14] archman: not quire every time, you can type sudo -s to convert to root shell [01:14] vnc or nxserver are nice, but they're whole-desktop which insists on being in the foreground killing my local desktop ... so I can't run the app as you would ssh -Y ... but then DETACH it so i could reconnec tto it at a later time... [01:14] anyone back me up in the UK? [01:14] I'm in the UK [01:14] yep [01:14] shake shake [01:14] !sound in headphone [01:14] hehehe [01:14] getoo: firefox-3.0 is the package [01:14] but not near York [01:14] was ace [01:14] manchester [01:14] rrm no prob, that stuff you can usually find on the forums [01:14] chimp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:14] macogw: thanx [01:14] getoo: there isnt technically any browser called mozilla anymore [01:14] peace. [01:14] Anyone know if RGB or YUV is better???? [01:14] i meant firefox [01:14] sorry [01:14] getoo: the mozilla suite is now known as Seamonkey [01:14] jaderaven: that's what you want. you shouldn't have to install for rpm file. ubuntu packages typically come in .deb form (debian packages) [01:15] komputes: that's right [01:15] lastest about 10 seconds [01:15] !headphone sound [01:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about headphone sound - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:15] illmortal: for what? [01:15] is anyone running vmware-server on ubuntu? [01:15] :S [01:15] arrrrrg [01:15] davmonster: yep [01:15] oi [01:15] macogw: probly. it may depend on how fast it can read from FAT. IMO some file systems read faster. [01:15] its not working archman [01:15] i would use hardy , it comes with it .. but i get no sound .. some bug [01:15] yo__: oi === grim76__ is now known as Grim76 [01:15] Triston - np - in all the excitement about the uk's earthquake i forgot what that was about ! [01:15] why? [01:15] yo__: what now? [01:15] soldats: im talking about write, not read [01:15] i dunno [01:15] danmonster u in UK? [01:15] !headphone [01:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about headphone - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:15] amenado, ssh -Y actually is what I like........ but if I lose my connection or if I want to detach the X application, I can;t.... the X application dies with the ssh session (unlike 'screen' which would keep a bash-based application alive by detaching the process) [01:15] what says? [01:16] Hey, I have some hardware that does not work in the .22 driver. I manually upgraded to .24.2, with the kpkg tools. Now, I need to insmod my nvidia driver every reboot, modprobe wont find it [01:16] yep, Kent [01:16] Anyone ever run into this? [01:16] alot of errors including no such file or directory [01:16] getoo: report the bug about your hardware [01:16] danand_ : Haha, no problem! I can understand.. I'm from California, USA.. we get our share of quakes. [01:16] can any one tell me how U activate my headphones in ubuntu ? [01:16] macogw: yes i know. it usually has to read to make sure it has enough room for writing to then writes to it if there is enough room [01:16] get it? [01:16] macogw: bugzilla is loaded with it :X [01:16] soldats: oh ok [01:16] can you paste it on ubuntu pastebin? [01:16] this bot dosent tell me anything [01:16] milkwood1 - i'm in london [01:16] last few rows? [01:16] wha?? [01:16] lol how do i do that? [01:16] I didn't get the quake [01:16] Bossmanbeta: whats the difference between ssh -X and -Y ? [01:17] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [01:17] dadnd_? [01:17] i would.. but the computers not even connected to the net at all [01:17] !help [01:17] Bossmanbeta: don't they both do X through ssh? [01:17] komputes, i belive -Y is faster but less secure. used on local/trusted lans.. (or so i recall in some ssh docs) [01:17] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:17] feel it [01:17] komputes, I believe ssh -Y is more secure [01:17] Triston - what a wierd sensation - v low frequency, but you could just feel the _power_ of it. [01:17] ? [01:17] komputes, yes -- byut I think -Y is more secure [01:17] Bossmanbeta, Less or more? Heh - :) i forget - i guess i will RTFM [01:17] macogw: got it now .. i need to install firefox-dev [01:17] Dr_willis_: Bossmanbeta More or less ? [01:18] can any one tell me how U activate my headphones in ubuntu ? [01:18] kopy few last rows from terminal, transfer them in xp [01:18] Dr_willis, heh! I am still hunting for a solution to this :) [01:18] frigging room was rumbling [01:18] !help [01:18] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:18] man ssh [01:18] and paste on [01:18] komputes, when in doubt - read the ssh docs i guess. :) [01:18] komputes: sometimes -X wont allow X forwarding and -Y will so it depends on what system your sshing to [01:18] very f-ing errire [01:18] !nvidia [01:18] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:18] Dr_willis_: you've seen the size of that monster [01:18] vmware-server on 7.10 [01:18] k h/ow [01:18] any takers? [01:18] h/o** [01:18] Last question, since I'm not sure the hard lock problem is anything that can be easily fixed.. I have Vista running virtually under innotek VirtualBox so that I can use iTunes and watch Netflix On Demand movies.. when Netflix plays it's video in the browser using it's plugin that uses WMP 11, the video is very choppy. I have high bandwidth and a powerful enough computer, so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. [01:18] pleeeeeeeaaaase [01:18] milkwood1 - yeh got it on bbc.co.uk - tremors in uk [01:18] ??? [01:19] !realtek [01:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about realtek - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:19] plain lang [01:19] can any one tell me how U activate my headphones in ubuntu ? plz pretty plz [01:19] checking [01:19] black_adder: did you try the mixer? [01:19] soldats: do you know which is more secure between -Y -X? [01:19] komputes, -Y Enables trusted X11 forwarding. -X Enables X11 forwarding. [01:19] alsa mixer i did [01:19] komputes, according to the man pages.. -Y allows for trusted X11 fwding [01:19] Triston: probably Virtual machines do not have full video power like a normal operating system [01:19] komputes, from the MAN page.. seemns -Y is more secure [01:19] komputes, where -X does not. [01:19] the file didn't show up in my sd card that im using for sneaker net.. [01:20] komputes it pays to RTFM :) [01:20] Bossmanbeta-> yeah its seems that xmove is the only alternative [01:20] trusted? so it's two fold encryption? [01:20] i have another idea h/o [01:20] Hey, I'm on kernel 2.6.24.2, how can I make modprobe find my compiled nvidia driver? [01:20] Triston - virtualbox probably won't give you the performance of a native Vista install [01:20] cmon [01:20] kitche: I came across old forum topics on a few sites where people were doing the same thing and it was working fine. [01:20] @prince jammeys - I tried that but still no luck [01:20] amenado, Yea -- I researched xmove............ that app is HOPELESS :) (and no longer being worked on... and buggy) [01:20] komputes, i got confused it said that -x disabled forwarding.. -X enables it.. :) hard to tell the diff from x and X in my console font.. [01:20] Triston - i've found virtualbox to be a bit flakey! [01:20] danand_, so have I. [01:20] how do i uninstall a package? [01:20] Triston: probably using a special driver or something most likely [01:21] danand_: It work totally fine except for that one part. :( [01:21] Dr_willis_: I have, RTM but I've stated before that I have this condition called manualitis, where large manuals make me his my head on my keyboard [01:21] what package? [01:21] the old fwcutter.. [01:21] Bossmanbeta-> what is it about the program that you must really pass along the session from one connection to another? [01:21] yo__: sudo apt-get remove package [01:21] i think its causing problems [01:21] in synaptics (system --> admin) [01:21] df00z: add it to /etc/modules, on a line by itself [01:21] black_adder: i really don't know about this sort of thing. all i can think of is turn it up on the mixer, and turn up wave/pcm and see. you probably already did this [01:21] It would be nice to be able to run a gui-application via SSH, then detach and reattach to it later without the need to bring over a WHOLE desktop to do so .. just as ssh -Y offers (minus detach/reattach capabilities) [01:22] yah prince_jammys I already all that. so where should I look up ? [01:22] hot do i add something to the apt [01:22] you don't need fwcutter [01:22] Bossmanbeta: you mean so that id the connection dies the app doesnt crash/quit [01:22] geirha: I did, added "nvidia" [01:22] amenado, well there are applications that I want to run remotely that are X apps (gui's..) ... some apps I run from the office that I want to access from home without bringing up the whole desktop [01:22] when i type $ locate on the shell it doesn't seem to search my Mounted Windows NTFS drive. How can I make that work? [01:22] komputes, yep .. so when you drop the SSH connection, you can reattach to the X app......... just as you reattach to shells via 'screen' [01:22] Dr_willis_ - tried installing openbsd on it - kept giving segfaults and filesystem full errors - found the workaround eventually in a bug report on the innotek site ... but... not quite what i'd call beta software yet [01:22] I want to install Compiz-Fusion, but I dont know how to add something to the resporties [01:22] caleb_yau: not ext3 no journaling [01:23] black_adder: it's a weird problem. if noone knows here, try google: ubuntu your-sound-card headphones [01:23] im going to totally remove all packages and reinstall them [01:23] Bossmanbeta: you dont need an entire desktop to access the X apps. [01:23] yo__: can i mail you my howto with drivers so you try it yourself? [01:23] black_adder: at least try that in the meantime until someone here knows [01:23] yeah [01:23] gimme mail [01:23] My desktop background changer app seems to be broken. [01:23] wbreslin951@gmail.com [01:23] soldats, yes I know that.... (ssh -Y) .. however, if I want to kill my ssh session the application I was running remotely dies... and the only way for it to survive a disconnect is to run a whole desktop via VNC or NX [01:24] well i feel invisible here, thanks for the help prince_jammys, i might go on forum at least people answer over there [01:24] just a min [01:24] k [01:24] If I want to use xinetd to start a service on demand, should the service be listed in /etc/services? [01:24] how do i add something to the apt? I want to install Compiz-Fusion, but I dont know how to add something to the resporties. [01:24] good night [01:24] komputes im not sure what that means .. is ext3 the hard drive type, and does locate work with journaling? [01:24] soldats, I'm just looking for a way to detach/reattach to an X application just as you reattach remotely to shells with 'screen' [01:24] Bossmanbeta: oh! ok. i see what you mean. my bad sorry for the mistake :) [01:24] nono soldats it's ok :) [01:24] caleb_yau: ntfs support is limited [01:24] black_adder: yeah give that a shot. but try googling your problem - i bet you find something [01:25] night chaps - gonna try and hit the hay!! [01:25] i imagine thers not an issued ever asked here.. thats NOT mentioned in a forum post somewhere. [01:25] soldats, it's annoying to have to bring up a whole desktop... so with vnc, I find myself sizing the desktop to TRIM just around the application ... which kind of gives me the same thing.. but not really [01:25] komputes cool, thanks anyway. I'm happy just knowing that there is no way around it, rather than thinking that my mounting is wrong or something === jhonen is now known as Kaiser === Kaiser is now known as KaiserM [01:25] hello? anybody listening? I'm a beginner and I would help. how do i add something to the apt? I want to install Compiz-Fusion, but I dont know how to add something to the resporties. [01:26] hi, i want to hear music from the radio http://www.radioactiva.com/envivo.asp some body can help me to listen? [01:26] apt-cache search .*compiz.* [01:26] caleb_yau: have you tried find [01:26] hello Dellbuntu5102 just open repositiry manager [01:26] and u will see options in thee [01:26] how? [01:26] since sometimes an SSH connection can be dropped, I don't want the X app dying with it... an ability to detach it with an X style version of 'screen' would be very cool indeed [01:26] go to prefereces i guess [01:26] why not just do apt-cache search compiz if you are going to do it that way? [01:26] and then synaptic packgae manager [01:26] caleb_yau: find /media/thenameofyourntfsdrive -name "searchterm" [01:26] Bossmanbeta: normally using -X in ssh does the trick for a single app. i really havent had the time to experiment with -Y so i assume your right. [01:26] what the heck? [01:26] where does ubuntu hide the nvidia.ko module [01:26] its not in /lib/modules [01:26] Dellbuntu5102 - in all likelyhood you can just type sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion in a terminal [01:26] how do i add it???? [01:27] oh [01:27] df00z: dpkg -L packagename lists the files in a package [01:27] terrorbite@gimli:~$ gnome-appearance-properties [01:27] sh: kde-config: not found [01:27] a little bandaid looking thing popped up over my installation window? what is it? [01:27] soldats, well whether you do -X or -Y, if the ssh session dies, so does the application [01:27] ...what? [01:27] komputes I did but I don't pretend to know how to use it. I typed $ find libgcc.a and what came up was libgcc.a no folder name or anything [01:27] thank you. [01:27] hi [01:27] some help? [01:27] any one ever set up a streaming server? I just got Darwin Streaming Server running... but not working. There's gotta be a better way. Any other recommendations? [01:27] yo__: mail sent to wbreslin951@gmail.com [01:27] Dellbuntu5102 - np [01:27] hi, i want to hear music from the radio http://www.radioactiva.com/envivo.asp some body can help me to listen? [01:27] Can someone tell me what settings I need to change so a game that is running 640x480 in Wine, will stretch to fill my widescreen? [01:27] k thanks [01:27] As it is, the bottom is just cut off. [01:27] caleb_yau: you have to put -name "libgcc.a" [01:28] what password do i enter? [01:28] yo__: welcome [01:28] ... I even tried running a remote gnome-session ......... but that gives me way too much .. kind of like what VNC or NX does... [01:28] Bossmanbeta: yea but you can detach it and reattach it from another box. but lets drop it. i agree with you. i dont want to flood the chan. :) [01:28] Dellbuntu5102: your user's password? [01:28] bye thanks for not to help me... [01:28] oh. ty [01:28] any one ever set up a streaming server? I just got Darwin Streaming Server running... but not working. There's gotta be a better way. Any other recommendations? [01:28] Ah ok [01:28] restricted modules is making it act weird [01:28] thanks [01:28] caleb_yau: locate searches through a database that is updated with "all" files and directories once a day, though /media amongst others, are ignored [01:29] komputes that worked perfectly, thanks alot! [01:29] soldats, no you can detach the SHELL... but if you were to run like "gedit" or "firefox" remotely using SSH -X or -Y, and kill the ssh session... gedit or firefox will die too... you cannot detach the X-application .. just the shell.... try it :) [01:29] caleb_yau: $ man updatedb # then edit /etc/updatedb.conf [01:29] Thanks much. Now I have working hardware. Bonsai!! [01:30] Pelo: ??? [01:30] Hmm.. What was the name of that app - that let you get wallpaper and things from gnome-look.org ? I saw it once in my menus.. but cant find it now. [01:30] hello, sometimes i cant connect to wireless networks, when this happens i see a new network device called wlan0:avahi the only way i know to fix this is restart and pray, can someone point me to where can i learn about this avahi? or how can i fix this please? [01:30] hmmm updatedb doesnt have a man page [01:30] ugh. Firefox hates compiz [01:30] Bossmanbeta: ahh i get it since screen runs from a shell and if you invoke an X app after you detach it it cant find its borders or display type so it will fail :) gotcha [01:30] soldats, also I doubt you'd flood the channel -- it's a discussion :) [01:30] geirha: can you run updatedb on an ntfs drive?? [01:30] Bossmanbeta, use the nohup command, and they may survive. [01:30] geirha hmmm updatedb doesnt have a man page [01:30] ok so I set a cron in my root cron, but it never seems to run, I restart anacron and cron, what else can i check guys? [01:31] I'm having issues with gnome-appearance-properties [01:31] Pelo: in order to word, ndis has to be installed from source; i know for ndis deb, babe [01:31] caleb_yau: info updatedb [01:31] Dr_willis, ah ha!!! nohup doesn't work either :) [01:31] check your mail [01:31] komputes, the locate database has a setting file that dictates what filesystems it scans. [01:31] adamb: check your mail, error messages from cron are mailed to you by default [01:31] komputes: I don't see why not, it just stores path names in a database [01:31] prince_jammys thanks, i feel stupid now [01:31] Bossmanbeta, this is why i tend to use vnc. :) and a uber-micro window manager. [01:31] hello does anybody know what's the icon theme on this screen shot? http://camelsnowman.deviantart.com/art/Gentoo-46513644 [01:31] how do i install a driver using windows wireless drivers utility? [01:31] prince_jammys :) [01:31] caleb_yau: why? :) [01:31] caleb_yau: that's odd, I have it ... though I'm on edgy [01:32] geirha: it has an info page [01:32] Bossmanbeta, Dr_willis_, an X app will usually die if its connection to the X server is severed. [01:32] Dr_willis, vnc is very nice ... but since I run apps local and remote... I find myself sizing the VNC session to trim-around the application I'm running over VNC so I can continue to work on my local desktop [01:32] click no install driver and insert .inf file [01:32] geirha: caleb_yau actually mine does have a man page in addition to an info page [01:32] ...which is why I was hoping to find a viable 'screen' program, but for X apps [01:32] whats the inf file i need? [01:32] where do i get it [01:33] Bossmanbeta, other then the one youmentioned yesterday. ive never seen such a tool that worked well. [01:33] yo__: god... it's in your mail, i mailed it to you... [01:33] Dr_willis, yea xmove works about as well as something that doesn't... work ... well.. [01:33] it hasn't showed up [01:33] it's the bcmwl5.inf === jhonen is now known as KaiserM [01:33] Hey would you know how I can scale a VNC connection window? [01:33] that's ok -- my search continues! :) [01:33] Bossmanbeta-> can you not establish a gnome-session with minimal program running specifically the only one you are interested in? [01:34] Bossmanbeta: ^ [01:34] Bossmanbeta, I think it's possible to set up vnc to show just a single window rather than the whole desktop [01:34] Okay , I've got a general newbie question [01:34] sorry ill ask onece because..... what file does xclipboard write/read from for copy and paste. im not sure if it writes directly to the app itself or a file the app reads from? [01:34] Solmaze: let's hear it [01:34] I'm having issues with gnome-appearance-properties [01:34] I need to change a "config.xml" file - but aparrently I dont have "root" rights - or something along those lines. [01:34] it wants to run kde-config [01:34] change = edit [01:34] which doesn't exist [01:34] if i have the source code, do i put it in notepad and save it as an inf file? [01:34] yo__: should i try to put it in archive and send it again? [01:34] soldats: the copy paste in ubuntu is kind of tricky, many layers [01:34] I'm pretty new to Linux - and have no idea how to get those rights =P [01:34] yeah [01:34] Solmaze-> for which webapp server? [01:35] kk [01:35] amenado, gnome-session will die also ... any app that I run AFTER I launch the gnome-session will die.. the only ones that would survive are the ones I ran from the gnome-desktop on the other end [01:35] wbreslin951@gmail.com [01:35] and they reintiialize too ... so.. [01:35] Solmaze: sudo nano /path/to/file/ should do it. [01:35] Oh, its a local file. [01:35] Solmaze: you're going to ave to use sudo. do sudo nano path/to/file [01:35] sysinfo [01:35] komputes: yea i know, i just want all the steps involved [01:35] Gonna try that, one sec [01:35] TerrorBite, wonder how you could tell VNC to stream 1 application, like ssh -Y does? [01:35] Solmaze: or gksudo gedit /path/to/file to do it in a window [01:35] hello, sometimes i cant connect to wireless networks, when this happens i see a new network device called wlan0:avahi the only way i know to fix this is restart and pray, (when things work there is no wlan0:avahi.) Can someone point me to where can i learn about this avahi? or how can i fix this please? [01:35] Solmaze: if you select something it is in a a kind of clip board that pastes on shift-insert on the two mouse buttons together, then there ctrlC and ctrlV [01:36] Bossmanbeta, something to do with the VNC server [01:36] Bossmanbeta-> doesnt gnome-session have some capabilities to restore last time you were logged on? [01:36] chimp - check out http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php [01:36] Hrm, I think this will work - just sort of anoying that I can't do it from gedit for instance. [01:36] Solmaze: the sudo command gives you root privileges, and "nano" is a command-line text editor. "gedit" is a GUI text editor [01:36] chimp - 4.7 magnitude!! [01:36] soldats: I'm not sure but most people end up using glipper [01:36] prince_jammys, geirha, thats pretty weird that they would specifically exclude /media. Thanks alot i'm sure that will fix the problem [01:37] amenado, I cannot launch an application if I run gnome-session [01:37] amenado, I can only see apps already running int he gnome-session [01:37] caleb_yau: i missed what the problem was, but i'm glad it's resolved. remember you can always use "find" otherwise [01:37] yo__: i can't send it by some reason, im gonna find the link for u to dl [01:37] kk [01:37] for some reason the prgram isnt working to add the driver.. [01:38] it won't add the file to its list [01:38] Bossmanbeta-> boy you got a tuff one there...once you got a solution let us know too, for reference purposes [01:38] komputes: kk i posted a thread on the forums, ill just wait till its answered. im trying to make "screen" write/read from clipboard. [01:38] u have bcmwl5.inf??? [01:38] Quick RSS Question. [01:38] amenado, you know it ... I tried gnome-sessio via ssh -Y ... but all i get are the already-running apps off the pre-existing gnome-session on the ssh server side... I can't launch an app [01:38] i dunno [01:39] i found the source code on the internet [01:39] the node in RSS 2.0, is there a way for it handle French dates?? [01:39] amenado, I am definitely researching it though... just for the intellectual curiosity ... vnc really does the job if I trim it down to the application-borders... but I thought a more elegant solution existed [01:39] archman [01:39] thanks komputes as well [01:39] I know that it uses RFC 852, which is only English, [01:39] yo__: the other way is to use fwcutter to extract the inf and sys from original exe [01:39] caleb_yau: cool [01:40] from the xp driver [01:40] but is there a way to make the RSS clients display the dates in French even if the client is chose English as his/her language [01:40] how do you do that? [01:40] i dunno how to use fwcutter or anything like that [01:40] dl drivers for xp [01:40] i have it i think [01:40] but i dont know what to do with it === jhonen is now known as KaiserM [01:41] Bossmanbeta-> just an idea, something like you forward an X with allowance for any host to connect to the forwarded port, and you can connect in one, from another, log off of one, ..i think its the gateway option on ssh..but i have not tried it myself [01:41] http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ [01:41] use google [01:41] i gotta go now [01:41] k.. ttul [01:41] thanks [01:41] hope i was of any use [01:41] ... [01:41] yeah [01:42] thanks bro [01:42] clear [01:42] there are maaany tutorials on this topic [01:42] amenado, ... hmm...... I'll have to research that, but I don't think 1 app could be propagated to multiple Xservers simultaneously ... (nevermind the security risk of that) -- but a creative suggestion... (making a note) [01:42] cya [01:42] yo_: this is one of them http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102 [01:43] u can safely follow my howto once you get inf and sys [01:43] ... [01:43] amenado, I am actually amazed that more people who use ssh -Y don't ask for a way to detach the application, if anything, to ensure application-survivability from a disconnect [01:43] I get this error trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10: 2008-02-26 20:36:47,685 ERROR pre-requists item 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ub [01:43] untu/pool/main/r/release-upgrader-dpkg/release-upgrader-dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu11.2_i3 [01:43] 86.udeb' is NOT trusted [01:43] Bossmanbeta-> i was thinking in terms of those warnings they say about X that can be monitored (so it is unsecure), therefore I assume several host can listen in on the X broadcast.. [01:43] hello, sometimes i cant connect to wireless networks, when this happens i see a new network device called wlan0:avahi the only way i know to fix this is restart and pray, (when things work there is no wlan0:avahi.) Can someone point me to where can i learn about this avahi? or how can i fix this please? [01:44] maybe I am missing a GPG key? [01:44] any iptables masters here ? [01:44] amenado, yea... I do wonder though, in that scenario, if the application were not broadcasting to at least 1 Xserver, would it die? (probably) so for it to work, I'd have to have 2 clients connecting to it at all times, so if (1) dies, (2) takes over... [01:44] UK earthquake - 4.7 in magnitude, epicentre about 15 NE of Lincoln! [01:45] appyJack-> we use it,, but no necessarily masters.. [01:45] amenado: if i post my ruleset to pastebin, can you glance through it and see if anything jumps out at you as to why when I turn it on, I can't get any internet whatsoever ? [01:46] Anyone going to take a stab at my RSS Question?? [01:46] Anybody have failed upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10? [01:47] Bossmanbeta-> how about one that kind of loop to itself? and you somehow can listen in to same port..just idea thats all, not sure if doable [01:47] amenado, not sure how that would be done .... [01:47] hi guys... thanks for the help komputer... i figure it out in the end... all better and no need for the upper bar thanks [01:47] appyJack-> sure, paste it in pastebin, and lets see if i can assist.. [01:48] okay tried what you said, problem now is - to save the changes! [01:48] Bossmanbeta-> something like a user1 and user2 (local), then you as user3 listens in from remote === JohnP789_ is now known as JohnP789 [01:48] amenado, ..perhaps... I'll haev to try it [01:49] probably been said but [01:49] you guys feel that earthquake [01:49] Bossmanbeta-> okay, try it, am very curios to the results..someday i may have a need for it too [01:49] I cant connect to wireless networks, when this happens i see a new network device called wlan0:avahi (when things work there is no wlan0:avahi.) Can someone point me to where can i learn about this avahi? or how can i fix this please? [01:49] anyone from UK feel that earthquake? [01:49] can you guys keep that shaking in your area, dont pass it here to california :P [01:50] man i thought it was something else till i saw it on the BBC news [01:50] Hello [01:50] i cant find a good how to on how to create a net install server anyone have links? [01:50] How do I save once I've made changes with the nano thing =) [01:50] amenado, honestly, I think ANYONE using ssh -Y regularly, would eventually realize they have a need to detach/reattach to those X apps for survivability without resorting to vnc-over-ssh which to me is overkill (not to mention sluggish) [01:50] CTL X [01:50] Please, just so I can go to sleep knowing that my app works =P [01:51] Solmaze CTL X [01:51] amenado: http://pastebin.com/d23783501 [01:51] Bossmanbeta-> I guess most do not require a continous monitoring..maybe time to move it to a webapp as opposed to stand alone app? [01:51] Solamaze: ctrl+o [01:52] appyJack-> ok, let me peek [01:52] can anyone help me scale a vnc window? [01:52] ctrl+x exits [01:52] i cant find a good how to on how to create a net install server anyone have links? [01:52] ATLANT3AN - yes i felt that quake - where abouts are you ? [01:52] now lets see if it works =)) [01:52] amenado, yep -- I'll hit the ATM and get that project started ;) [01:52] wath i can do with flickering on ati card? [01:53] Solmaze: As a note, in nano when you see "^" it translates to ctrl. [01:53] ATLANT3AN - see http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php [01:53] amenado: I appreciate the help. I really thought I did a pretty good job as this is my first shot at thie - i guess maybe a little too good [01:53] I guessed it would be "ALT" hehe =P [01:53] Gotta shake those windows habits =) [01:54] appyJack-> umm, your OUTPUT default policy is drop? why not ACCEPT ? I assume you can trust your own box [01:54] Quake, did you say? Where? === excid3 is now known as excid3|HL2 [01:54] You used ALT? [01:54] Does anyone know how to scale a vnc window? [01:55] TheLastDodo - in uk, about 15 miles NE of lincoln. I felt it in london [01:55] TheLastDodo: off-topic but England [quite a large range] [01:55] komputes, thats normally a feature of the vnc CLIENT - from what ive seen. some can doit. some cant [01:55] amenado: hrmm - that would probably be the case if i weren't a paranoid schizo ... or just fat-fingered my furst ruleset [01:55] appyJack-> what does the turtorial you are following suggest? [01:55] I get this error trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10...it looks like it cannot authenticate the package or osmething: http://pastebin.ca/919894 [01:55] Dr_willis_: got a name of one that does, i use Terminal Client [01:56] I don't think I've felt an earthquake in over a decade, and that's having lived in California, Italy and Japan. [01:56] anybody else feel http://digg.com/world_news/BREAKING_Earthquake_hits_England in the UK? :o [01:56] * TheLastDodo shrugs it of. [01:56] aha, maybe ;p [01:56] komputes, under windows 'ultravnc' :) other then that. I dont use the clients much under linux. [01:56] off* [01:56] amenado:its part google, part reading, part firewall engineers at work... and a bit of guesswork [01:56] komputes, gnome and kde both have their own client. that has more features then the normal vncviewer app. [01:56] Dr_willis_: what do you use for remote? [01:57] appyJack-> knowing that ubuntu is fairly safe, and you dont really use a new installed box for anything extremely important, i guess you can take a bit of risk, til you get the hang of it [01:57] Jamesrs - yes, my whole room shook, monitor and desklamp rocked, car alarms going off etc [01:57] komputes: what's the system you connecting from? windows? [01:57] ubuntu,both sides [01:57] i thought it was our heating exploding, since my radiator has been making an awful noise all night ;p [01:57] I'll be going AFK to watch the Obama/Clinton debate.... be back later [01:57] hello ppl. [01:57] It wasn't even a 5, nothing to worry about. [01:57] usser: ^ [01:57] komputes: use ssh with -X -C flags [01:58] is there any tool in ubuntu like cpau? [01:58] usser: and theeen? [01:58] * RedHeron wants to watch the debate, Bossmanbeta. [01:58] * RedHeron doesn't have a television. [01:58] komputes: ie install openssh-server on a server machine [01:58] amenado: probably so; i'm not inventing new science with this - just dev work, mostly. Although I do some work from home on it, which can be a bit sensitive [01:58] Jamesrs - :) i thought a _big_ lorry had just gone past the house :D [01:58] RedHeron, it's like watching a boxing match :) [01:58] yo, im trying to install ubuntu on a buddies comp and im booting from the cd but when I try to run the install from the icon on the workspace nothing is happening... [01:58] komputes: and then try ssh -X -C username@serverip [01:58] komputes, i only use vnc under windows to get to the vncserver on the linux box. using the vnc4server on linux. [01:59] appyJack-> here I think is the critical part.. -A OUTPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT new connection from you will never get out [01:59] Bossmanbeta: I know... but they have smiles on their faces. [01:59] komputes: after that you should be able to run Gui apps that are located on the server inside your client [01:59] anyone trying to 1v1 chat with me and quickie troubleshoot? [01:59] Bossmanbeta: I beg to differ. Watching Parliament is like watching a boxing match (often an amusing one)...these people are amateurs. [01:59] RedHeron, i know!! :) ok going AFK [01:59] ha, yes very nice, but i want the desktop [01:59] ppppp, ya what is your ram size [01:59] ppppp, have you got a partition setup where you want to put the install? [01:59] windowsxp > boot from cd > install > nothing happening [01:59] yes and no [01:59] TheLastDodo - wasn't too bad ... just i'm used to having my view of the earth as a solid thing intact! [01:59] i cant format the c drive [02:00] komputes: as in shared desktop? see what's on the screen at the moment? [02:00] im not used to the linux install, on the windows disc I can format before I install [02:00] Is there a shell command to see your current version of Ubuntu? And I don't mean kernel version. :) [02:00] usser: correct sir [02:00] amenado: doesn't that say to accept all output ? (or am i reading it wrong) [02:00] Hey, having a slight problem with a new install of Gutsy. Whenever I visit a page with Java on it, the browser hangs until i force quit it. I have had problems in the past with the default java plugin, so I install a different one, but this time it didnt give me a choice. Any idea how to keep FF from hanging/crashing when a java app loads? [02:00] pppp: you can use the partition manager on the Live CD for formatting purposes [02:00] komputes: in that case vnc is probably the easiest solution [02:00] how? [02:00] run the cd in windows? [02:01] usser: I know,I just want to kno which client lets me scale [02:01] komputes: use vino, that's what the server called in gnome I believe [02:01] appyJack-> nope, only RELATED and ESTABLISH so NEW are discarded via default drop policy [02:01] danand_: fair enough. Having grown up with them, I'm used to the earth shaking once in a while. After all, it's hardly as dangerous or frequent as the storms/hurricanes/monsoon flooding that many places put up with on a yearly basis. [02:01] I didnt see any options on the cd other than mozilla etc [02:01] ppppp, qqqqq [02:01] ppppp: download a .ISO, burn it to CD, then Boot from the CD [02:01] hey, i have volume keys on my keyboard, but they decided to map themselves to the mic volume, how do i get them to PCM? [02:01] usser: I have it, i need to scale the window [02:01] i did [02:01] amenado:Aah - Right! so, simply by adding the NEW state, that would probably help quite a bit [02:01] so you're in the Ubuntu GUI on the CD? [02:01] is it easy to install ubuntu on apple macbook [02:01] i have the iso burnt to a cd, and have tried booting and installing from the ubuntu enviroment 20times now [02:02] TheLastDodo - true.... you'll have to excuse my excitement though!! :P [02:02] funny thing is, the GUI install has never worked for me [02:02] ive always used the alternate CD [02:02] ppp: what happens when you try to install? [02:02] komputes: pretty much any client should support it, theres xvncviewer, tightvnc [02:02] ppppp, yes you'll need to burn the iso to a cd, boot off it, then setup your partition, sorry i didn't realize you had booted into windows [02:02] appyJack-> try it, no one gets good at using iptables without trial and error [02:02] nothing, administration window for something shows in the taskbar but then nothing [02:02] heres a question of my own for you guys [02:02] usser: I have it, i need to scale the window? [02:02] is there an application on linux like a windows firewall that prompts you at every connection outbound [02:02] ppppp: Isn't there an "Install" icon on the desktop? [02:02] the comp im trying to install this on sucks, but is there no way I can format and do a clean ubuntu install? [02:03] amenado:how well i know that. I had to pry my way back into the box a few times with some of my 'experiments' ... but its worth it [02:03] usser: do they have GUI [02:03] ya thats what im spamming on lol [02:03] ppppp,you need to restart your system run live cd [02:03] Is there a good partition manager besides gparted? [02:03] danand_: Do make sure to watch out for the mole people that come up through the cracks in the earth in the weeks ahead. We're used to dealing with them, so they're really just an annoyance, but if you don't carry an axe or some sort of weapon, I can see how they might be a problem. [02:03] ATLANT3AN22, Linux firewalling dosent work that way. So no, i dont think there is. [02:03] komputes: hang on [02:03] sandy: He did that, hes having trouble going thru the install process [02:03] I think.. [02:03] ur right [02:03] why not dr_willis, why cant a connection be stopped and then allowed/denied [02:03] I am sure when i used something it did tell me to allow or deny [02:04] i remember NTP update, i had to allow it [02:04] pppp: So how far in the wizard do you get? [02:04] i need help setting up a broadcom wireless 43xx series card in ubuntu [02:04] for it to go out to the servers [02:04] can i format and install on an empty parition [02:04] ATLANT3AN22: Why would you want to? You'd get almost as many security alerts as in vi$ta. [02:04] im used to windows being able to do that right before the install [02:04] aimchanger, i think he has ram problem , what is the size of ram [02:04] ppppp, once you burn the ubuntu cd, when you boot, it will let you format and partition your drive(s) [02:04] yo____: I just did that! Google it for a tutorial. I'll try to find the one that worked for me [02:04] ATLANT3AN22, linux firewaling blocks based on PORT# and otehr info. not the app doing the calling/connection. [02:04] what option is that drpcken? [02:04] he can use firestarter frontend to iptables, & leave it open in the notification area [02:04] kk [02:04] komputes: can't you use terminal server client [02:04] thans aim [02:04] thanks** [02:04] so you have no real outbound control then [02:05] ppppp, its not an option, you downloaded the Ubuntu cd, right? [02:05] ya [02:05] unless you hard code it into iptables etc or use a front end GUI to do it [02:05] amenado: so simple, yet so far-reaching... I really appreciate your looking at that! [02:05] komputes: its in applications->internet->terminal server client [02:05] ppppp: There's a wizard on the Live CD that takes you through everything... It will format it for you too [02:05] usser: no scaling for the window [02:05] ppppp, what is the size of your ram [02:05] ATLANT3AN22, go read up on the various IPTABLES howtos. I guess. You dont have a 'per app' or 'per user' controll. that i am aware of. [02:05] i dont know it's not my computer exactly, but it should have enough ram [02:05] ATLANT3AN-> you know in linux, one tool alone is not the solution, sometimes a combination of several to effect the desired result [02:05] so in windows, the applications can intercept the calls and stop them until you allow it, whilst linux cannot interupt calls [02:05] ppppp, are you in windows now? [02:05] ppppp,you need to have atleast 512mb of ram to install ubuntu from a live cd [02:06] ya im on my comp, the comp im trying to install ubuntu on is next to me im using the same monitor for both [02:06] komputes: try krdc it's a bit a kde app but its pretty neat [02:06] ppppp, click START --> and right click on My Computer and click Properties [02:06] appyJack-> that solved it? [02:06] amenado: I need to keep reading up on this for a bit.. I'm sure there's other 'glitches' in here somewhere [02:06] ppppp, it will tell you the RAM [02:06] well really, I would like to know what Linux is doing, what connections it is making etc, so I know its not doing anything I dont want it to do, the exact thing i can accomplish on windows [02:06] I love how windows will ask me if i want to allow an app to connect... after the app is allready running and connected and downloading stuff for the last hr+ , and occasionally reasks if i want to allow an app to connect.. after i said yes..just a few days befor. [02:06] aim? [02:06] yo_____: Try this link! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285809 [02:06] amenado:yes! just by adding the NEW state, output to internet works fine [02:06] kk [02:06] well id have to go afk for a bit and reconnect the monitor to it and then id prolly just look at the ram in the boot screen [02:06] ATLANT3AN-> then you must read up on iptables/Netfilter [02:07] dr_willis not my experiance, the apps will not make any connection until I allow them [02:07] but is there no way I can partition and do a clean install from boot from the ubuntu cd? [02:07] ppppp, just do what i said, its faster [02:07] using Outpost Security suite/netlimiter [02:07] aim.. the computer isn't connected to the internet at all [02:07] its my bros laptop [02:07] ppppp, YES but you have to boot from the ubuntu cd [02:07] ATLANT3AN22, ive seen dozens of games i play.. then when i close the game.. then i see the windows dialog asking if iwant to allow the app to connect. :) go figure. [02:07] i did tho drpcken [02:07] outpost pro is different dr_willis [02:07] thats after playing the game online for a few hrs. [02:07] ATLANT3AN22, -> firestarter - http://www.fs-security.com/ [02:07] i cant do nothing until I allow it [02:07] it boots and shows the logo and under it a few options for running ubuntu [02:08] ppppp, i mean boot the computer off the cd [02:08] & tcpdump [02:08] i even have to allow it to make the game go full screen [02:08] yo__: can you connect it through ethernet or use a USB drive to get the files? ndiswrapper? [02:08] else it will just hang [02:08] ppppp, not just run the cd while running windows [02:08] why the new release (8.04) is too slow ? how do I fix that? can one help me? =) [02:08] but when i select the top choice of running and installing it brings me to the windows of ubuntu [02:08] nop [02:08] nope [02:08] With the lack of spyware or other things under linux. its not much of an issue. [02:08] i know im booting from it [02:08] i can use sneakernet tho ;) [02:08] x4cau, goto #ubuntu+1 [02:08] it brings me to the desktop for ubuntu [02:08] x4cau: Discussion about hardy in #ubuntu+1 [02:08] thanks [02:08] I get that point of course, but I like to know whats happeneing [02:08] on the fly I guess [02:08] hey, i have volume keys on my keyboard, but they decided to map themselves to the mic volume, how do i get them to PCM? [02:08] with 2 icons 1 being install on the workspace [02:08] yo___: You need to be able to get the "ndiswrapper" package and the drivers to the computer somehow... [02:08] I just installed Ubuntu Server 7.10 and port 80 is directed to /var/www/ How do I set this up if I want multiple websites hosted here? [02:08] watching netstat would be pointless, looking at logs laborious, [02:08] I want to reset my root mysql password on gutsy. "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql reset-password" doesn't work - it seems that reset-password isn't an option :-/ [02:08] but thanks for help :) [02:08] pppp: Yeah! Double click on install [02:08] their on the livecd [02:09] thats my problem, nothing happens [02:09] =( [02:09] ppppp, we really need to know your RAM then, there's an install icon, after that it will let you setup partitions [02:09] kk then i will brb and check [02:09] thx for the help seriously... [02:09] i need it [02:09] yo___: Yeah thats ok. Hooking up the ethenet connection should work [02:09] ... [02:09] Lunar_Lamp-> you are using the wrong tool of mysql [02:09] ...... [02:10] well nice talking guys, good night [02:10] amenado, when I do a google search the solution I mentioned is suggested. [02:11] Lunar the wrong mysql , you are trying to use the script as oppsed to the client mysql [02:11] yo___: Going through the ethernet (eth0 - the default connection), follow the tutorial. It worked for me [02:11] hey! is this the help channel? [02:11] Yes it is! [02:11] sorrows: What's your problem? [02:11] amenado, ah, I've just found - that function was removed from gutsy - but it worked in Feisty. [02:11] I need some guidance for setting up samba. [02:12] Sorrows: Surely. Have you tried any of the tutorials from Ubuntuforums? [02:12] yep, I tried all sorts of "quick and easy" things === Ace is now known as Budtske [02:12] Now for the next big question - If I want to allow a port to be used by everyone on the local network - how would I go about that? [02:12] it should be as simple as downloading the package.. the only tricky part may be configuring it. [02:12] I installed Ubuntu Server 7.10 and port 80 is directed to /var/www/ How do I set this up if I want multiple websites hosted there? [02:13] Solmaze-> for what purpose? [02:13] I have done it before, with Kubuntu; I have switched to Ubuntu [02:13] System Information for PCMAX: CPU: AuthenticAMD AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ 2629.147 MHz, 512 KB Cache RAM: 1035 MB HDD: 123 GB OS: GNU/Linux 2.6.22-14-generic Uptime: 21:43:09 up 1:01, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.07 [02:13] Setting up a mediaserver actually [02:13] scall-> thats an apache trick..read up on virtual hosting [02:13] I have downloaded the program [02:13] "/etc/apache2/sites-available" [02:13] scall: theres a few ways to do that I would think.. [02:13] yeah, what amenado said. [02:14] Gotten pretty far, but it keeps getting disconnected - I read my way to it being a problem with the ports - that the port used by the mediaserver is kicked by the system. [02:14] Sorrows: have you apt-get'd the package yet? [02:14] load 0.05, great [02:14] scall: read up on virtual hosts [02:14] not sure if that makes much sense... [02:14] I did [02:14] alright. [02:14] scall: one sec I'll give you a sample config in a sec [02:14] Thanks. [02:14] Solmaze-> you have to think in terms of client and server, are you serving or the client ? [02:15] Serving [02:15] sorrows: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/samba.htm [02:15] Solmaze-> okay, so now, you decide which port you will serve from [02:15] scall: ok so its basically like that for each host you want to host you have to put a config file in /etc/apache2/hosts-available [02:15] scall: those configs look something like [02:16] I cant connect to wireless networks, when this happens i see a new network device called wlan0:avahi (when things work there is no wlan0:avahi.) Can someone point me to where can i learn about this avahi? or how can i fix this please? [02:16] Thanks I will have a lool at it! I hope you don't mind me coming back if I still can't do it :) Thanks a bunch [02:16] aim i just completed that tutorial save the restart.. just waiing now [02:16] sorrows: Do you want to configure Samba for Windows sharing or Linux or both? [02:16] waiting** [02:16] Windows [02:16] thanks for the link =) [02:16] it seemed to go smoothly [02:16] sorrows: Sure! I may or may not be here, but my email is kmadura@gmail.com if you're really stuck [02:16] Remember, google is your friend! [02:16] i am tryind to set my permissions fro cdrecord [02:17] yo___: Ok sweet. [02:17] is there a simple way to do it [02:17] excalibas-> you tried to google for avahi yet? [02:17] thanks a lot [02:17] good night/day! [02:17] no problem. [02:17] scall: something like that http://pastebin.ca/919917\ [02:17] you too! haha [02:17] scall: http://pastebin.ca/919917 [02:18] Thanks. [02:18] scall: after you done it you have to run a2ensite hostname.org [02:18] * Lokii- is Away, Reason: ( sick and sleeping ) | Since: ( Monday, February 25, 2008. 20:07:41 ) Xlack v2.1 [02:18] amenado: yes, i found its a program to do something with networking, but i coundt find a way to fix my problem tho... [02:19] scall: to enable the site, and similarly add more virtual hosts [02:19] does anyone know if there is a channel specifically for ubuntu testing? the new 8.04 alpha 5 iso? [02:19] * Lokii- is back ( Away 50 secs ) [02:19] tomd123: #ubuntu+1 ? [02:19] excalibas-> type ifconfig -a; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf and paste it into pastebin please [02:20] scall: it's a whole area on its own for instance in my example virtual hosts are assumed to be on the same server but this server can be reffered to by different dns names ie hostname1.org and hostname2.org really point to same ip [02:20] ty starnestommy [02:20] hey aim.. [02:20] scall: and that's how apache distinguish them by name [02:20] yeah [02:20] argh I'm not debating with anyone tyvm [02:20] what happens if it doesn't turn on the wireless card? [02:20] i don't have a switch that turns it on or off... [02:20] yo__: yeah neither do i... Is there a light or something? [02:20] just a set of windows keys (fn +f2) [02:21] yeah theres a light [02:21] it hasn't turned on yet... [02:21] is it on right now? === deadly is now known as cako [02:21] nope [02:21] scall: read up on that http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/ [02:21] i just restarted the comp tho [02:21] oh. has it blinked at all [02:21] nope [02:21] well filed a bug for my failed upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/195985 [02:21] How far into the boot is it? [02:21] the comp is still booting tho [02:21] Hi, I'm using ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS. I was wondering how I could grab the tarball source of the latest kernel available for 6.0.6 LTS? [02:21] dead black screen [02:21] ok, so i have two moniters connected to my nvidia 6200, both working, but the second one[a TV] dosnt get window borders. how can i fix this? [02:22] yo__: alright. Just let it do its thing. [02:22] i also used the original driver downloaded from the dell website =) [02:22] bluefoxx: bring up the terminal on the second screen and try metacity --replace [02:22] cpurn-> apt-get install build-essential does not grab the kernel source? [02:22] bluefoxx: im assuming you not running compiz or anything of that nature? [02:22] build-essential doesn't [02:22] yo__: haha alright [02:23] amenado: wouldn't that install all the gcc & libraries etc stuff to get you prepared for doing a bare metal package build? [02:23] its all booted up.. hasn't turned on yet [02:23] amenado: http://pastebin.ca/919925 [02:23] ok. umm in Terminal, can you run lspci [02:23] cpurn-> i thought it does that..then just pick your source thats needed? [02:23] look for the network controller [02:23] apt-get install linux-source-(uname -r) [02:23] and in network settings there's no wireless option!? [02:23] or linux-headers-$(uname -r) [02:23] or something [02:24] ahh there you go, a better one [02:24] davmonster: woulnd't that install the latest kernel available for other release, i.e. edgy, where I'd like to keep in track with LTS still? [02:24] dav - run "uname -r" and add that to the last part of linux-headers- [02:24] it would install source of your kernel version [02:24] that's what uname -r does [02:24] my network controller is in there.. [02:25] yo: can you see the model number or something? Like BCMXXX? [02:25] usser: i am running compiz...otherwise i would have tried that. i have compiz running with custom settings on both screens [02:25] yep [02:25] why whenever i goto any video site firefox crashes? [02:25] BCM94311MCG [02:25] what is the number [02:25] youtube, metacafe, megavideo, etc [02:25] ok [02:25] excalibas get rid of that metric 100 make it so it is 0 [02:26] amenado: how do i do that? [02:26] I have been running 2.6.15.7 for a while, I had to custom package the kernel for some reasons. I'm thinkingo f upgrading my custom package kernel to the latest available... [02:26] yo: try this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4392065 [02:26] do you know any app that will work with a sony ericsson p990i? the only app that I successfully used with it so far is wammu [02:26] davmas: so I was looking at the latest... I think I get it [02:26] I'll give it a try...thanks [02:26] It may add some of the same things, just ignore them [02:26] I want to sync stuff and install to my sony ericsson phone [02:27] cpurn: type uname -r on a console [02:27] exacalibas what is it worth to you? am hungry right now [02:27] cpurn: to see what it does [02:27] 2.6.15.7-ubuntu1-custom [02:27] heh okay [02:27] yo__: I mean that tut is specifically for your Version.. I had something else but yeah, try that link [02:27] it's custom kernel that I packaged a while back [02:27] it's not from the tree [02:27] where do i report a bug in the new firefox beta 3 that is in hardy? [02:27] I had to recompile this kernel by hand and hand picked the modules [02:28] it's been broken for weeks [02:28] cpurn: sorry, that's beyond my expertise :( [02:28] davmonster: roger that, thanks for helping and trying! :) [02:28] danage: have you looked at mozilla's website? [02:29] so how can i get window borders going on my second screen?i know my hard ware can support it, and i am running compiz BTW [02:29] aimchanger: no i haven't, but this bug might be ubuntu specific so i was thinking of launchpad. but there are MILLION ways to report mozilla bugs [02:29] amenado: sorry, i dont understand, i would really like to fix this, i have to change places a lot and this is a problem for me mabie just point me the way so i can try to fix it... [02:30] ok, my webcam works, but my microphone does not, is there a reason to this? (The mic is built into the webcam, Ubuntu detects it, but places like ustream won't and apps won't detect it properly) [02:30] danage: Oh alright. Well yeah if you find a solution, make sure to post it on Ubuntu Forums! [02:30] What is the problem anyways? [02:30] AHHH i cant find my sneakernet router (sdcard) lol [02:30] bluefoxx: so are you running it as dual head ie separate xserver for each monitor? can you drag windows from one screen to another? [02:31] aimchanger: what do you mean? is your firefox also broken? [02:31] excalibas easy to understand, am hungry, and could use... j/k hehehe [02:31] usser: they are seperate x screens, i cannot drag windows onto eachother as i run 4 workspaces on each [02:32] danage: No, but maybe I could shed some light on the solution. Probably not, but its worth a try. [02:32] danage: #firefox is a possibility [02:32] prince_jammys: good idea [02:32] excalibas-> all you do is add metric 0 on the interfaces file for the wlan0 definition on the interface file [02:32] bluefoxx: I see... I assume you tried compiz --replace on the one without borders? [02:32] danage: wow you type fast [02:32] isn't there some thing for ubuntu that rates how popular packages are? how can I see those results? [02:33] prince_jammys: enter the first few letters of the name and then press [02:33] peepsalot: In the add/remove applications [02:33] usser: nope, not yet, i will do that now. if i disappear then most likely my desktop has crashed [02:33] peepsalot: popcon.ubuntu.com [02:33] danage: oh i know but even then [02:33] bluefoxx: one more thing... is compiz actually running on that one without borders? wobbly windows and such? [02:33] :) [02:33] Do you guys know any good free .iso burners? [02:34] danage: ohhh haha thanks [02:34] Lu [02:34] on another issue, does anybody know how to get an older ati mobility radeon 7500 work under hardy with the new xorg.conf [02:34] Like2008: cdrecord [02:34] !burners | Luke2008 [02:34] Luke2008: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[02:52] woops that did not do what i wanted it to do [02:52] ice109: sudo find / -iname *mathematica* [02:53] can you manually override your DNS servers? [02:53] ice109: with * [02:53] illmortal you can get around it by doing ifdown wlan0 or ifdown eth0 whichever interfaces you have, then shutdown [02:53] what does the * do? [02:53] prince_jammys: quote '*mathematica*' [02:53] ok , i messed up bad [02:53] is there someone here that can help me sort out my xorg.conf [02:53] amenado, should I do this prior to clicking the shut down button? [02:54] usser: i rebooted alltogether witht the magical reset button i put on my computer. and no the gtk-window-decorator --replace crashed me. hard. [02:54] ice109: will match mathematica-12 mathematica-blah.. if you don't use * you will only match a file named "mathematica" and no other [02:54] illmortal: yes you will want to do it before you shutdown [02:54] eric-> anyhow the concept is, you should only have one dhcp server on that subnet, otherwise the pxeclient may get a wrong ip and will not get the boot stuff from tftp server [02:54] if i could get my drivers working properly , it would be the last major hurdle to converting over to linux [02:55] andrew_:i'de like to know wear that .conf file is too, if you find out [02:55] bluefoxx: one more thing check your xorg.conf for that line Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" its supposed to be somewhere in the Screen section [02:55] illmortal yes, prior to shutting down, shutdown process actually does that for you, but sometimes it gets stuck as you have experienced [02:55] where is a good place to put applications? [02:55] Still hanging in here for Samba pro! [02:55] in my home directory? [02:55] did you get my last question, amenado? i got discd [02:55] ice109: /usr/local [02:55] eric nope.. [02:55] eric-> anyhow the concept is, you should only have one dhcp server on that subnet, otherwise the pxeclient may get a wrong ip and will not get the boot stuff from tftp server [02:55] bluefoxx ok [02:55] amenado, it has done this 4 times back to back already.... [02:55] usser: kk [02:55] ice109: or /opt, some people use [02:55] usser: brb then [02:55] so in general... [02:55] since my router is providing DHCP [02:55] I can't disable that or everything else breaks [02:55] recommended action? [02:56] bluefoxx i spent tons of time looking for it last time, but then forgot and just had to reinstal... [02:56] ok, so I need a switch in place [02:56] I strongly believe there's some sort of network manager bug... specially since it displays that i don' t have connectivity even though I'm online right now. [02:56] eric-> put the client with pxe on its own subnet with your own customized dhcp server [02:56] doubt the router allows that [02:56] well, it might [02:56] linksys 24 port switch [02:57] eric-> create another subnet, separate network [02:57] i have used envy , but i don't think its doing it correctly [02:57] amenado: you make that sound simple [02:57] !envy [02:57] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [02:57] eric yes, creating a separate network is not difficult [02:57] if a directory shows up as cyan in terminal, does that mean it is a symlink/ [02:57] ? [02:58] omg [02:58] phuzion: do ls -l file_name and see [02:58] stupid tutorial once again didn't work [02:58] phuzion: or do :: file file_name [02:58] ok i have that on now [02:58] where can i get the firmware for the bcm43xx [02:58] ? [02:58] prince_jammys, yeah, thanks. How do I undo a symlink then? [02:58] but i don't have the resolution i would like to use [02:58] yo___, i just ran the resticted-manager tool and it grabbed it for my bcm card. [02:58] yo___-> do you have the 7.10 liveCD i believe it is there [02:58] phuzion: Del it [02:59] phuzion: you can delete the symlink [02:59] I'm experimenting with wmctrl. Is there a way of determine what window hints are being applied when windows are grouped together using compiz? [02:59] hmmmmmmmmmmmm [02:59] phuzion: and recreate whatever you need [02:59] i have the livecd [02:59] so I have another switch sitting here. I should plug it all into that one. [02:59] what is it on the live cd? [02:59] the server and client [02:59] its a web-managed switch. then i turn off DHCP and i'm good to go? [02:59] can i just add the resolution into the xorg.conf? [02:59] !who | yo___ [02:59] yo___: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:59] and how do I create symlinks again? [03:00] phuzion: ln -s [03:00] usser: whear is the xorg.conf file i want to check? the one i found didnt have that phrase [03:00] eric yeah, create a separate vlan [03:00] phuzion: ln -s target link_file (link_file cannot exist) [03:00] bluefoxx: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:00] bluefoxx: its in /etc/X11 [03:00] Odd-rationale: ty [03:00] kontol [03:00] !compiz [03:00] 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 [03:01] bluefoxx: if you don't have it there try to run this command sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 [03:01] hi, i have a problem with "launchers", whenever I create one after a few "uses" it doesnt work anymore, I create a launcher for sudo bash, and it works a couple of times but not anymore, what is wrong with them? how I do create them safely? [03:01] yo__: what version of windows are you using [03:01] eric-> have your dedicate tftp server with dhcp available on that separate network [03:01] errr [03:01] yo__: what version of ubuntu are you using [03:01] wow [03:01] dedicated* [03:01] I am retarted tonight [03:01] mikev: Try making it for "gksu bash" [03:01] mikev: don't use sudo bash launch gnome terminal instead something like gksu gnome-terminal [03:01] 7.10 [03:01] dar [03:02] dark** [03:02] Ok, this isn't making sense anymore.

[03:03] bluefoxx: run this sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 [03:03] Actually, I take that back, nothing but my ext3 ubuntu partition is working. and I have 3 other partitions with all of my data on them. How do I get them to work again? [03:03] bluefoxx: and see if compiz loads correctly [03:03] i'm sure you have heard this a million times but i was wondering how to make the sound in firefox in amd64 7.10 work with flash === syc_ is now known as psychode [03:04] i'd be fine with an in depth tutorial taht actually works [03:04] Odd-rationale: it works =D thnx, I hope it stays that way XD... [03:04] usser: ran the command, just gonna finish the movie on the TV then try the command, thanks =3 [03:04] Nick-O: elaborate, sound when doing what? [03:04] playing a flah video like youtube [03:05] Nick-O: hm works fine for me [03:05] usser_ thnx too [03:05] q: if ubuntu detected and load the nvidia restricted driver just fine do I need to mess with the proprietory (sp) drivers @ all? [03:05] i've read a lot of forums on it but none work [03:05] mikev: np [03:05] yeah driver givin me a headache [03:06] Nick-O: let me clarify you have flash itself going, just not the sound? [03:06] everything worked with envy , but it looked kind of crappy [03:06] what command can i use to restart an app thats hung? [03:06] now nothing works , but it looks ok [03:06] the video plays but there is no sound [03:06] Nick-O: I really never heard of this problem sorry [03:06] i would google it, but said App is Firefox :) [03:06] is there someone that might be able to help sort out my xorg.conf ? [03:06] that's fine [03:07] drpcken: ps -Al | grep firefox [03:07] xander, just ask [03:07] i been searching forums , but i think thats made it worse ha [03:07] drpcken: not the 3rd number [03:07] drpcken: *note and then kill number [03:07] has libstdc++5 been replaced by libstdc++6? i cannot get gutsy to install the xorg-driver-fglrx because apt-get can't find libstdc++5 [03:07] are you running the 64 bit version?

[03:08] oneeyedelf1:: the nvidia driver includes a readme with very simple and well-documented instructions. [03:08] !consolefont [03:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about consolefont - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:08] usser, the 4 digit or 3 digit number?

[03:09] Nick-O: sudo dpkg --purge flashplugin-nonfree [03:10] Hey, I'm on a fresh install of gutsy, and every time I load a Java applet in firefox, it hangs/crashes. Any ideas? [03:10] Nick-O: and then apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [03:10] has libstdc++5 been replaced by libstdc++6? i cannot get gutsy to install the xorg-driver-fglrx because apt-get can't find libstdc++5 [03:10] Ubuntu isn't recognizing my three non-ext3 partitions. They should show up in /media/hda1 /media/hdb5 and /media/sda1. The directories that are there exist, but they are empty, which leads me to believe the drives are not mounted. How do I fix this? [03:10] mindheavy:: there should be a compat version. search in aptitude. [03:11] mindheavy:: for 5 [03:11] phuzion: well try to mount them manually [03:11] phuzion: sudo mount /dev/hdb5 /media/hdb5 etc [03:11] can u tell me why permission is denied to me to folder /home/martti while I've got chowned them martti:martti and modded to 644???

[03:12] nm i got it , back after a read [03:13] darkdelusions: it saus its already installed [03:13] it's DLing. i'll see if this works [03:13] says* [03:13] no error messages or anything [03:13] while Im here I have a another question, long time windows user, which permissions do I need to set to a file, to be able to do anything with my user like in a windows environment, like rename, double click, delete, etc, and full read to anyone else? whats the x permission for? [03:13] anyone know a good audio editor (i.e., that is *not* audacity) for linux? [03:14] that didn't work [03:14] There is no other [03:14] Jangari:: there are plenty, ask google and wiki [03:14] bluefoxx, you still here? [03:14] jpipkin: aptitude isn't showing a libstdc++5 either [03:14] Nick-O: what did it say? [03:14] what shellbased user administration is there? [03:14] everything uninstalled and installed properly without errors but still no audio [03:15] anyone know why firefox would crash when i load a java applet? i already have the sun-java6-plugin [03:15] mindheavy:: works for me. [03:15] q: if ubuntu detected and load the nvidia restricted driver just fine do I need to mess with the proprietary (sp) drivers @ all? [03:15] dunno man. [03:15] you want me to do it again and give you the terminal readings? [03:15] jpipkin: are you just going to search -> find? is there something im missing perhaps? [03:15] daedalus2:: it's restricted because it *is* proprietary [03:15] daedalus2: not really... unless you going for latest and greatest! [03:15] jpipkin: i've never used aptitude [03:15] mindheavy:: I just use / [03:16] any way to reinstall firefox? [03:16] daedalus2: You dont need the proprietary drivers if Ubuntu loaded the restriced unless you want to update to a more recent version [03:16] grrrr, can anyone tell me what ctrl alt F2 does? besides make me lose my gui and have to restart lol [03:16] puts on the second virtual terminal. [03:16] do you gain any extra functions/speed with latest/greatest? [03:16] how can I make apt-get to just download the deb packages, with all dependencies, not install them [03:16] Nick-O: I really am lost, never seen this before and not sure if reinstalling firefox would help [03:16] daedalus2:: usually, yes. [03:16] i have 8 updates to do and some of the forums said that fixed it so i'm going to try that [03:16] daedalus2: not really [03:17] yeah, i don't think so either [03:17] any guess why trying to restart slapd would cause an error that slapd.conf can't be found, even though it's actually there? [03:17] Nick-O: try it [03:17] how can i get back to my gui from the second virtual terminal? [03:17] drpcken_: it takes you to a terminal. i think you can get out with ctrl + apt + F7... i think [03:17] alt* [03:17] ahh [03:17] drpcken_:: usually alt-f7 [03:17] thank you! [03:17] i think [03:17] ah just alt [03:17] whats the point of this terminal? [03:17] i would like to be able to view cymk photoshop psd format files in ubuntu, does anyone know of a way? [03:17] just a different way of running commands? [03:18] do restricted drivers get updated w/ normal update procedure? [03:18] drpcken_:: using the system, yes [03:18] ok [03:18] not every system needs a GUI [03:18] well, i have some linux installs with no gui at all [03:18] m0u5e: install cs2 :) === drpcken_ is now known as drpcken [03:18] mouse; re-save the files from adobe as .tiff or something else and then you can use GIMP [03:18] usser what if i don't have cs2? :/ [03:18] usser: besides, i don't think this computer could run cs2 [03:18] anyone know of a multi protocol Instant Messenger app besides Pidgin that you can recommend? [03:18] Hey, I enabled a different restricted driver in Ubuntu 7.1 (instead of the generic NVIDIA driver, I did the Nvidia 6 series driver) and I now can't use my ubuntu. [03:19] i'm use to using trillian ;) [03:19] drpcken: kopete? [03:19] drpcken:: www.meebo.com [03:19] How do I disable that via Command line (recovery mode) [03:19] drpcken: you don't like pidgin? i rather like it :3 [03:19] Long time windows user, which permissions do I need to set to a file, to be able to do anything with my user like in a windows environment, like rename, double click, delete, etc, and full read to anyone else? whats the x permission for? [03:19] m0u5e: hm, the only hope would be gimp but it doesn't support cmyk as far as I know [03:19] m0u5e, i can't get it to flash a window when i get a new message [03:19] it only shows in the top bar [03:19] wierd [03:19] mikev:: man chmod [03:20] Does anyone else have security.ubuntu.com in their sources.list? I keep getting errors from apt-get update when I try to hit that server. [03:20] my firefox is crashing when i load a java applet... and i have the java plugin. any ideas? [03:20] m0u5e: you can also take a look at krita [03:20] qry? can somebody tell me why permission is denied to me to folder /home/martti while I've got chowned them martti:martti and modded to 644??? [03:21] mar77i: try to chmod to 777 see if you get denied and then go down [03:21] mar77i: ie to 766 and lower it gradually [03:21] do restricted drivers get updated w/ normal update procedure? [03:22] usser: but 7 stands for execute? [03:22] you won't be able to enter a directory if that directory does not have execute permissions. [03:22] daedalus2: I beleave so yes [03:22] mar77i:: you need to read the chmod man page. [03:22] mar77i: owner should have all rights anyway [03:22] on the heels of daedalus2's question; does anyone know how to disable restricted drivers via command line? [03:23] mar77i: any odd number is execute [03:23] it didnt' tell me to restart but i'm goign to try to anyways so byb [03:23] usser: how to get the user's id of the working user? [03:24] mar77i:: id [03:24] my trying to install netatalk months ago has meant every synaptic or apt-get command returns an error with the 'netatalk package', and efforts to purge it from my system only result in: "E: netatalk: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1". How can I et rid of netatalk? [03:24] Cody-> are the restricted drivers loaded or not? [03:24] drpcken: it should be under plugins [03:24] drpcken: it flashes for me :X [03:24] I have my drivers loaded, but I doubt I have the ones I changed it to loaded. [03:25] usser: krita is a kde app, :( [03:25] When I start my ubuntu install before, I had to boot the live CD in safe graphics mode. [03:25] hmm i'll check it out [03:25] thanks :) [03:25] Cody-> are the restricted drivers loaded or not? [03:25] usser: i'd have to install a bunch of kde libraries [03:25] Then I got my restricted drivers installed (generic NVIDIA), and it worked fine [03:26] what is the command to do an upgrade for the distro? [03:26] I looked through and just changed the drivers from generic nvidia to "Nvidia 6 Series" and it said "To apply this change all users have to log out" [03:26] apt-get dist-upgrade [03:26] I never got a window that said I was downloading the drivers or anything. [03:26] Now when I start my ubuntu install, I get vertical green and blue lines [03:26] ol_dude67:: man apt-get [03:26] so how do i change the background color curing login splash?. there used to be a menu option for it somewear but thats vanished. im tired of looking at that [no offense to those who like it] horridly pink background during login [03:26] So the graphics drivers I chose I don't think are compatible. Does that make sense? [03:27] I just want to know the command line command/commands to disable restricted drivers, from there I can do it on my own. [03:27] Thanks! [03:27] still nothing [03:27] quick question /problem [03:27] Yes parataral [03:28] i did a 'chmod -R 664 ./*' and now i can't cd into any of the folders [03:28] parataral:: man chmod [03:28] parataral: chmod 755 them all again [03:28] removing the executable bit from a folder makes it useless [03:28] what does this error mean:configure:error:c++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp fails sanity check [03:28] i am compiling fluxbox [03:29] hello all does anyone have any idea why Videos and Visualizations are in black and white on both of my gutsy boxes? I use gstreamer by default but have mplayer and vlc installed and it is the same all around [03:29] icesword: if i remember correctly you can get flux from apt [03:29] what formats, threethirty? [03:29] aah yes... sorry for the dumb question heh [03:30] i am compiling fluxbox 1.0 [03:30] whats the difference between the gthumb image viewer and the gnome eye image viewer? [03:30] Jangari, all of them, its even when I play music in totem [03:30] icesword: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [03:30] gnome eye can't play animated gifs, while gthumb can... it really doesn't make sense to have 2 viewers :X [03:30] So, amenado, do you just know the command to disable restricted graphics drivers? [03:31] darkdelusions, k,thx [03:31] gthumb is an album organizer thing [03:31] i just cant figure out how the heck it works...as far as i can figure out, it doesn't [03:31] Cody-> are the restricted graphics drivers loaded or not? [03:31] macogw: i thought that was f-spot [03:31] amenado; by loaded, do you mean "downloaded and installed"? [03:31] by the way, is there a file i can go to to manage how applications handle file extensions? (default apps opened by whatever app_ [03:31] Cody-> what do you mean by disable then? [03:31] applications don't handle file extensions [03:32] m0u5e: first try system > prefs > preferred applications [03:32] file extensions are ignored by all things [03:32] amenado; I chose the wrong driver to run (I had a working one, thought another would be better, and switched them), and now it doesn't display anything other then vertical green and blue lines [03:32] the system identifies file types via magic. [03:32] well there may be an awful file manager here and there that takes notice of them [03:32] m0u5e: they both are [03:32] i'll quit messing with firefox flah audio for now. in place i have tried opera 9.5 but it is not stable at all and even at the sight of a flash site shuts down. any ideas to fix this? [03:32] Jangari: any ideas? [03:32] m0u5e: f-spot is the replacement for gthumb [03:32] Jangari: not nearly as detailed as i need it to be :X [03:32] no, sorry threethirty [03:32] Cody-> so is the graphics driver loaded or not? [03:32] jpipkin: would you be able to help me figure out if i am missing a repository or something? i found a .deb package for libstdc++5 but it requires gcc-3.3 and i have gcc-4.1.2 installed, cannot find gcc-3.3 now... [03:33] i agree, m0u5e [03:33] macogw: i don't like fspot though -_-; [03:33] Nick-O: Do you have flash installed + the firefox plugin? [03:33] Jangari: i hope they make it better in hardy [03:33] amenado; what do you mean by "loaded" exactly? I'm not getting your question...Sorry! Thanks for your patience though [03:33] yeah [03:33] it plays video bu no audio [03:33] m0u5e: neither do i. it completely ignores EXIF data. [03:33] how is UVC video support in Ubuntu right now? [03:33] is there any way to reinstall just that plugin? [03:33] m0u5e: i have hardy installed, but id rather not touch f-spot :P [03:34] Cody-> am not trying to be difficult, one can not just disable because it just a file thats sits in a directory === jernster_ is now known as jme` [03:34] Nick-O: just to be scientific, have you tried installing flash via adobe? [03:34] amenado; so, if my ubuntu is trying to access a graphics file that isn't there, would it give vertical green and blue lines? [03:34] you fvcked something up, Cody, reinstall [03:34] macogw: i just got rid of it on my gutsy [03:34] Cody-> i guess my point is, if its loaded, one can then unload it [03:35] How do i split an iso in ubuntu? [03:35] no i haven't. it came with firefox after my ubuntu install. should i try installing over it? [03:35] Jangari: do you know where the conf files are stored/ [03:35] amenado: by vertical green and blue lines, I mean right after ubuntu finishes loading and tries to load up the login screen, it goes green and blue [03:35] Cody then you can load the correct working one [03:35] ah, try gconf, or whatever it is [03:35] Nick-O: Yeah try the tarball from their website [03:35] amenado; I'm certain I still have the original drivers, so how would I tell ubuntu to look for those instead? [03:35] i'll do that [03:35] sup guys [03:36] yo___: did you get it working? [03:36] nope [03:36] Nick-O: I'd try uninstalling any flash plugins you have, then go to http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash [03:36] ive tried everything.. im thinking about just totally reinstalling the OS and starting from scratch [03:36] Jangari; All it is is a bad driver selected, I just need to point ubuntu to a different one, how do I do that in command line? [03:36] okay [03:36] maybe the install got messed up or something [03:36] yo___: ah damn. What does "ndiswrapper -l" give you? [03:36] Cody-> if the driver is not listed in blacklist-restricted, and appears where all the modules are loaded from, then it is loaded [03:36] hold on lemme wait for my bros comp to boot up [03:37] does anyone know how to setup a high pass filter through alsa? [03:37] Okay, so in the safe mode ubuntu, I would type in "blacklist-restricted" and it would list my restricted stuff? [03:37] whats alsa? [03:37] yo___:ok. yeah i guess that could work, and just follow a tutorial for your model number. [03:37] im so sick of this crap.. [03:37] so how do i change the background color curing login splash?. there used to be a menu option for it somewear but thats vanished. im tired of looking at that [no offense to those who like it] horridly pink background during login [03:37] this is the kind of stuff that makes me not wanna install ubuntu on my comp *blasphemy* lol [03:38] oh yeah, i've looked at this but can't fine any amd64 plugins [03:38] yo___: yeah it took me a while and i gave up for a bit.. but once you get everything working it all gets easier. and awesome! Compiz-fusion is sick [03:38] yo___...ALSA is the the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture [03:38] Cody-> do you still have the liveCD? and it works with the liveCD? [03:38] compiz-fusion? [03:38] amenado; In safe graphics mode, yes. [03:38] amenado; It works perfectly in live-CD under safe graphics mode [03:38] yo___: desktop graphics rendering [03:38] yo___: look it up on youtube. its not for networking, just for eyecandy [03:38] what package do i need for the bcm43xx firmware? [03:38] amenado; I haven't tested the live CD after recent problems though [03:38] yo___: like cool wobbly windows and stuff' [03:39] bluefoxx: pink? the background is light brown by default. might wanna check your monitor's color settings. anyway, the background color listed in the desktop image / background image configuration thing should be the same color [03:39] yo___: rendering four workspaces on a cube that's manipulable in space, and all that [03:39] yo___: bcm43xx-fwcutter [03:39] Cody if you boot the liveCD and press e when you see the menu, it allows you to edit the grub, so select the safe mode and look for the parameters there [03:39] ^^ yeah look into that [03:39] i already have that [03:39] but after that what do i need? [03:39] yo___: that will hopefully get your firmware working [03:40] yo___: it should prompt you for the driver files [03:40] yo___: it shouldve downloaded a driver and extracted the firmware for you during install [03:40] nope [03:40] I need to make a symlink called d: to /media/hda5, but for some reason, its not showing up after doing ln -s d: /media/sda5 any ideas? [03:40] amenado; So by editing grub I could point it to the correct driver? [03:40] after installing the 'xorg-driver-fglrx' ati driver with apt-get, are there any further tasks to complete? or just restart x? [03:40] Cody then copy exact same parameters pass during safe mode.. following me? [03:40] macogw: i know its light brown but i call that pink, its basically skin pink by my standards[close enough to call it pink]. im not a huge pink fan. unless its pink floyd. XD [03:40] yo___: if it didnt get the driver for you due to you being offline, just hand it a windows driver [03:40] how? lmao im completely totally noob to this [03:40] yo___: I installed my drivers through ndiswrapper w/ that other tutorial I gave you [03:40] amenado; Oh! So you want me to see the safe mode parameters on the Live-CD, write them down, and then put those into command line or something? [03:40] that didn't work lol [03:40] Cody yes you can edit the menu.lst and pass exact same parameters as the safe mode in liveCD [03:40] yo___: get your windows driver, then type "bcm43xx-fwcutter driverfilename" [03:40] what about the restricted driveers utititly? [03:40] Cody exactly [03:41] yo___: actually, put "sudo" before that [03:41] yo___: yeah i think its b/c we have different cards [03:41] bluefoxx: i thought pink was light red :P [03:41] what about the restricted drivers manager? [03:41] yo___: try the command that macogw gave ya [03:41] yo___: what was your broadcom question from earlier? [03:41] Okay, now if I hit E and see the Live-CD safe mode parameters, would I type those directly into the command line on ubuntu recovery mode? [03:41] I'm trying to set up ldap on Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10), I configured the slapd.conf and ldap.conf files, then tried to restart slapd, I got an error telling me it couldn't find a configuration file at /etc/ldap/slapd.conf, even though that's exactly where the file is located....any ideas? [03:41] How do i split an iso in ubuntu?... [03:41] im trying to get a bcm43xx running in ubuntu so itll hook up to the net [03:42] darkdelusions [03:42] yo___: want the illegal but should definitely work way? [03:42] Cody-> you can have additional entries in your menu.lst with exact parameters as your liveCd.. so that way you can easily not choose the selection frm the grub during boot [03:42] macogw: i have the background set to dark b;ue, doesn't work. and yes, pink is also light red, but brown is muddy red too!XD [03:42] yo___: wget http://macoafi.googlepages.com/firmware.tar.gz [03:42] yes [03:42] once you have it fixed [03:42] yo___: after that's downloaded, tar xf firmware.tar.gz [03:42] So do you want me to go copy the live-CD parameters and come back with them and from there you can help me further? [03:43] yo___: sudo mv firmware/* /lib/firmware/ [03:43] mluefoxx, where did you set it to be blue [03:43] darkmystere: splitting an ISO? that is pretty tough considering [03:43] macogw wanna aim? this place is too crowded.. i can't get any of this lol [03:43] yo___: did u try looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:43] yo___: thats it [03:43] when i download it, and click the shell and run or run in terminal nothign happens [03:43] Cody yeah try it, again it is much easier to modify a menu.lst to add another entry.. [03:43] you can try and roast it as two separate files and commingle them afterwards [03:43] yo___: i tarred up the firmware from my mom's computer and put it online [03:43] it's not a 64bit error i was thinking of somethign else [03:43] alright, so I'll be right back [03:43] weasel, yea i wantd to make 98MB pieaces of a 2.44GB iso :/ [03:44] reasons: me? [03:44] whoah I didn't realise that the alt+tab scroll actually showed real time images of the windows... it even shows videos moving! [03:44] yes'm. If you did it with the background image it won't work. Please do this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=612365 [03:44] Stwange: with compiz it does. if you switch to metacity, it doesnt [03:44] reasons: ok, will check that out [03:44] ah right. that's enough to keep me with compiz :) [03:45] aside from cat, what's a quick way of putting together several sequential oggs? [03:45] darkmystere: i have never heard of anybody splitting (that isnt exaclty splitting) an ISO into so many pieces. i know it is possible to turn an ISO into a couple a files and rejoining them but not to the extent you wish to perform [03:46] wease|: Err, then what sizes should i do..a friend needs this iso but his internet sucks so he asked me to put it on my server so he could get it [03:46] has the user-switcher stopped working in gutsy for anyone? [03:46] um my add/remove programs thing has and any installers i run close out automatically and idk why [03:46] Darkmystere, I dont think that would evn be possible....as if you try to split it, you might screw up md5's and stuff. [03:46] hi all, i'm running ubuntu 7.10 and using a dlink bluetooth dongle and trying to get my mac bluetooth keyboard working... i followed the instructions from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup but I'm still running in to an issue. [03:46] any reason why setting concurrency=shell would cause HALD to fail on startu? [03:46] startup [03:47] hald always fails on startup for me =/ [03:47] when running "hcitool scan" i get the message "Device is not available: no such device" [03:47] darkmystere: best option is to set up the ISO for download and let the person deal with the bandwidth....it will be tough to piece all those files together [03:47] I agree with wease|, darkmystere. [03:47] crabgrass: did you check to see if you set concurrency=shell in /etc/init.d/rc ? [03:47] crabgrass: that is what caused mine to start failing [03:47] rjonesx: i'm using xfce [03:48] The other option would be too much of a headache to have to deal with in my opinion, Darkmystere. [03:48] however when i ran the command "lsusb" i can see the bluetooth dongle "Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0a5c;2033 Broadcom Corp. BCM2033 Bluetooth" [03:48] crabgrass: you could pretend my answer was valuable, it would make me feel like a better person [03:48] k i did that tutorial.. wifi light is on.. lets see if it works [03:48] rjonesx: well, i can replace concurrency with xfce, right? [03:48] server not found.. [03:48] no more ideas? [03:48] rjonesx: actually, im checking that right now [03:49] speeddemon8803: headache, if not impossible with those tiny files dissected (98mb at a time from 2.44gb) [03:49] yo___: try a reboot maybe? [03:49] yo can anyone help me please with a prob im having, add and remove window program it closes out automatically and any installers i run like the deb package isntaller [03:49] reboot with linux? [03:49] rjonesx: disregard, cocks, etc. [03:49] it doesn't say it needs a reebot macogw [03:49] weeman13221: can you install from the command line [03:49] thanks guys :) [03:49] yeah usually fine [03:49] rjonesx: it's set to none right now. ill change that and see if it does anything [03:49] yo___: drivers load at boot [03:49] macogw: yes you can install from command line [03:50] Your welcome, Darkmystere. [03:50] crabgrass: was that tourrettes? you just said cocks in the middle of a statement. it was really funny, but kinda weird. [03:50] wease|: i didnt ask you [03:50] well the wifi light turned on.. [03:50] macogw: its just inconvenient sometimes [03:50] so it must have loaded the driver... [03:50] rjonesx: bash.org, ones sec. [03:50] mcogw: just giving my opinion, this is an open forum [03:50] wease|: but its his computer, not yours, so how could you know the symptoms of his problem? [03:51] weeman13221: what do you mean? the add and remove applications application stops working? [03:51] what are some cool things to do in ubuntu that will make me want to install it on my comp even more? [03:51] Jangari: like it opens a split second and then just closes out, no error message or anything [03:51] help: i placed a .profile in someone's $HOME and set executable. logging in as the user doesn't seem to run the .profile [03:51] you're not running two package managers at the same time, are you? [03:51] yo___: compiz [03:51] rjonesx: http://bash.org/?5775 [03:51] running "sudo hidd --search" simply returns "Search..." and then the prompt instantly [03:51] macogw: haha im sorey. i jumped the gun :) [03:51] how do i do compiz? [03:51] yo___: carefully [03:52] lol [03:52] but how? =) [03:52] yo___: system -> preferences -> appearance -> desktop effects [03:52] yo___: and for the 'cool things,' nothing you'll notice until youve been using it for a month or so [03:52] yo____: do you have ubuntu installed? [03:52] yo___: with the knowledge that you'll have to restart up to 20 times before it actually works [03:52] yo___: then just TRY going back to windows [03:52] Jangari: i dont think so [03:52] on my bros comp yea [03:52] but not on mine [03:52] yo___: installing compizconfig-settings-manager will get you neater options [03:52] yo___: little things like being able to move any window by holding [alt] and dragging anywhere on it, not just the titlebar [03:53] yo___: little things that make using your machine easier [03:53] mm.. [03:53] dddd [03:53] and multiple work spaces [03:53] i noticed it takes alot longer to boot up than windows does tho.. [03:53] or even the mere fact that no one's getting rich by selling you bad software, yo___ [03:53] take less space than windows [03:54] so any ideas anyone as what my prob is? [03:54] reasons: won't work for me; i run gutsy [03:54] bbhjhgjghj [03:54] gfhfghfgh [03:54] hgfhgfjjhj [03:54] hjghjgyjgkgukg [03:54] compiz will even give you the same eyecandy as vista aero, if that's your bag [03:54] rtdrtdrtttttttttttttttttttgfgfgdfgfddddddddddddddd [03:54] fdgdffffffffffffffffg [03:54] fgggggggggggggggggggggg [03:54] fgdrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggg [03:54] ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddfgdfgd [03:54] fgd [03:54] more issues with the internet.. [03:54] yo___: why are you wasting everybody's time by asking speculative questions? === jd__ is now known as linuxpoet [03:54] amenado; How did you want me to do that again? [03:54] wireless doesn't even come up in the network manager anymore? [03:55] weasel: why are you being so critical about someones curiosity? [03:55] amenado; by hitting the letter 'e' on what exactly? [03:55] Cody once you hit the down/up arrow key, then e for edit [03:56] amenado; when grub boots up, I have five options. They are: Ubuntu 7.1 (normal, the messed up one), Ubuntu 7.1 recovery mode (command line only), Ubuntu memory test, Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista. [03:56] amenado; You wanted me to see the setup for the live-cd right? [03:56] yes, it's a different system and takes some learning but it actually runs a lot better than windows once you get things setup to your liking in my opinion [03:56] Cody your number 2 is your safe mode you said? [03:57] yo___: i am critical when the questions become extemporaneous to the process of troubleshooting [03:57] amenado; I only have safe mode on the Live-CD, not on my computer. Sorry for the confusion. I don't have safe mode on my computer. [03:57] amenado; I have "recovery mode" which is just a command line [03:57] stuck with yesterday prolem..... [03:57] stuck with yesterday problem..... [03:57] netsplit? [03:57] amenado; Could I find the file on my Live-CD? [03:57] Cody okay, you can modify that recovery mode with exact same parameters as your liveCD safe mode, then boot [03:58] also take into consideration,this is #ubuntu not #ubunustrictlyfortroubleshooting [03:58] one of the smaller servers [03:58] Hi all - I'm having a slight nuicence problem at the moment... I have superkaramba creating thousands of *.tmp files in /tmp/kde-$username [03:58] amenado; There would be a file on the live CD with the Safe Mode parameters, correct? [03:58] !link [03:58] hello, is it possible to view the contents of a webpage if there is a Directory listing denied message? [03:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about link - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:58] newbie_: no [03:58] that's a server issue [03:59] Cody i thought you copied all the parameters of the safe mode in liveCD ? [03:59] sooo... anyone know of a way to view photoshop cs2 cmyk psd files in ubuntu without installing cs2? [03:59] amenado; I didn't load up the live CD yet, I thought you said to hit 'e' on a specific option in the live-CD menu [04:00] holaaaaaaaa [04:00] Cody i meant to hit e during liveCD boot so you can copy the parameters [04:00] amenado; When I boot with the live CD, I come to the text menu that has "Start or install Ubuntu" and "Start Ubuntu in Safe Graphics Mode) type stuff [04:00] problem with /etc/hosts file... [04:00] is ipod touch able to work? [04:00] #padang [04:00] oh, noice. i found an answer to my original question [04:00] ==Question== is there a keyboard shortcut for gnome system monitor , such as the windows ctrl alt del? [04:01] amenado; so insert 'e' where I need to hit it. I hit the power button to start my comp, then I have it set as CD for 2nd Boot Device, my HDD with Linux as 3rd boot device [04:01] I installed a program but i cannot see it anyy thoughts/ [04:02] yo can anyone help me please with a prob im having, add and remove window program it closes out automatically and any installers i run like the deb package isntaller [04:02] So as it's booting up, do I hit 'e' or do I hit E while Safe Graphics Mode is booting up? [04:02] Cody-> yes [04:02] krammer - perhaps it launches from command - type the program name in the terminal [04:02] e for edit [04:02] alright [04:02] it is pidgin [04:02] Thanks!, I'll be right back now that I know exactly what to do [04:02] hi, i installed kubuntu off a live cd, and I am trying to open .deb files (ubuntu is built on top of debian, correct?) what do you need to open deb files? [04:02] my Adobe Flash plugin skips like a broken record. doesn't do this in Windows on the same machine. I've tried older versions of 9 and it helped a little, but it still freezes up and skips like a broken record. when it resumes I've missed a few seconds of video or flash animation. any ideas? [04:02] I'm building a custom install, from ubuntu server, but I need to put a minimal xserver in there... I think packages xorg gdm and icewm are ok, but I need everything in the install CD... I already have an extra/ directory configured, but how can I easily download all needed packages to put there? [04:03] Please. Anyone. Is ANYONE in here a wireless Guru? Or just shy of??? I am in desperate need of your help.Please. [04:03] krammer, have you restarted x? it should launch from command [04:03] pist0l-fish-> do you want to extract the files of *.deb ? [04:03] i rebooted my machine but it is usually with the internet menu [04:03] ubu2: which flash plugin are you using? [04:04] restart x ctrl backspace? [04:04] amenado: I guess I just want to install the contents. I was under the impression that deb was similar to rpm [04:04] yo can anyone help me please with a prob im having, add and remove window program it closes out automatically and any installers i run like the deb package isntaller [04:04] Jangari: the official one from Adobe's website. I also tried many from their archive of old versions (of 9). [04:04] pist0l-fish-> yes its similar concept, but you dont extract the contents of rpm file do you? [04:05] you can extract, if you really wanted to [04:05] the flash plugin in the package manager seems to be broken for many people [04:06] zero88-> how much are you willing to compensate? hehe [04:06] when i type in sudo lshw -C network lo and eth0 say no wireless extensions, there's no ther little things, what do i do? [04:06] amenado I'll lend you my Benz for the day ;) [04:06] amenado: I don't want to extract [04:07] and it says network unclaimed right over the wireless card informatino? [04:07] amenado: I want to install [04:07] pist0l-fish-> then its dpkg -i whatever*.deb [04:07] Nickrud - Thought you'd like to know, for some reason XUbuntu started working randomly today. [04:07] zero88-> you have to fill it with booze too..hehe [04:07] Lexda: did you do an update recently? [04:07] amenado: gotcha, thanks. How would i get similar behaviour in KDE [04:07] Nope [04:07] heh. [04:08] yo can anyone help me please with a prob im having, add and remove window program it closes out automatically and any installers i run like the deb package isntaller [04:08] problem with /etc/hosts file... [04:08] problem with /etc/hosts file... [04:08] zero88-> so whats the issue with your wifi? [04:08] Not really sure why, but when I turned the comp on, it entered into it, and it's quite a bit faster, so I'm happy [04:08] Lexda: glad to hear that [04:08] weeman13221: your question isn't very clear, at all. [04:08] pist0l-fish-> what do you mean similar behaviour in KDE? which behaviour was it? [04:08] problem with wireless= ubuntu recognizes my wireless card, drivers are installed, but theres no wireless option under network manager [04:08] amenado are you a Real Man of Genius? [04:08] amenado: well, when I click on .deb files, nothing happens [04:08] zero88-> heck no === alan_ is now known as speeddemon8803 [04:08] please? anyone?

[04:09] even when a flash video on say youtube has completely cached/downloaded it will loop the sound for a few seconds, the video freezes and when it resumes it's not where it stopped [04:09] weeman13221: ok. what happens when you type sudo dpkg -f install in a terminal? [04:10] nickrud: dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `install': No such file or directory [04:10] amenado: so there is absolutely no way to get that behaviour through KDE? [04:10] weeman13221: that's not what I said to type: sudo apt-get -f install , just that, on one line [04:10] is there a way to enable / disable loading kde libraries at startup for gnoem [04:10] *gnome [04:10] pist0l-fish-> double clicking to install? umm i have not used it ever, i type the command sudo dpkg -i xxx.deb [04:11] someone please help.. i need like an expert with this stuff [04:11] mmm pizza [04:11] amenado well...

Unfortunately I can't rewind flash animation, so it's driving me nuts.

Although it seems I've fixed it by pointing Eclipse to it (in /usr/lib/jvm) manually so problem solved [04:44] CoasterMaster-> you can use update-alternatives to choose your java 5 as default [04:44] amenado, but thanks for your help [04:45] Maimster-> sometimes experience is the best teacher, i wish i can tell that to my son to just listen to me..hehe [04:45] CoasterMaster-> you have used update-alternatives before?

I've looked everywhere for a solution, but to no avail. Regardless of whether the video is streaming or has finished buffering, it will randomly skip/pause and the sound will loop in the duration. When it resumes, it does not resume at the moment it stopped playing so you miss those seconds. The whole PC does not freeze, just flash itself. [04:54] matthias: iptables is built in, firestarter if basically just a front end for it i believe [04:54] i will be connected wirelessly to the internet ... and use p2p program but still limit the access to my file from others connected wirelessly to my roputer ... [04:54] mathi [04:54] matthias-> iptables is backend of firestarter [04:54] how long does memtest usually take? [04:54] matthias: u really dont need to d/l anything [04:55] Are there any optimizations I can do to make Adobe Flash player performance better? I've read that other people have this same issue on new PCs, but I've yet to find a suggestion for a solution. Also, it only happens in Ubuntu, not Winodws. [04:55] StrawberryJesus-> long..45 to an hour maybe, you want a rigorous test dont you? [04:55] swhat does d/l means ... [04:55] StrawberryJesus: http://www.memtest.org/ overnight with no errors is usually a good sign. [04:55] matthias: download [04:55] sorry what does it mean ... === doff_ is now known as doff [04:55] ok [04:55] matthias: it means to download [04:55] so firestarter is the way to go and later on use iptables ...

[04:55] amenado: amenado http://www.aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp [04:56] matthias-> firestarter uses iptables [04:56] amenado: No idea if it sucks. [04:56] okey let me try it ...

[05:09] uncommented security=share and added null_passwords = yes [05:09] 32 [05:09] anyone know about using aticonfig to try to setup s video out? when i tried to run it in the terminal then it said to install it and the command includes the line fglrx, which messed up my comp before [05:10] dual core thou [05:10] try a 64bit kernel [05:10] anyway to upgrade to 64 with out redoing every thing?

[05:20] i mean incomming traffic ... [05:20] matthias: all is open, except nothing is listening on any ports anyway [05:20] matthias: if anyone *tries* to talk to your box, they wont get a response [05:21] prettyricky: What command did you use to start the vm? [05:21] lfzcy, #ubuntu-cn [05:21] Can someone help me with ndiswrapper. I cant set the essid of my wireless wlan0. i do sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "myessid" and then the key ....... but it doesnt stay [05:21] so traffic in is safe but outside traffic needs to be arranged ... [05:21] no command I just went into the virtualbox screen and hit start/ [05:22] matthias: if there was already a trojan in your box, it could phone home because outbound is all open. if there's already a trojan in your box, though, you're already screwed. [05:22] anybody here who could recommend a reliable and fast DNS? [05:22] matthias: because by that point, they could just re-open the ports themselves [05:22] rhineheart_m: bind9 [05:23] there are linux-targeting trojans? [05:23] Daisuke_Laptop: no [05:23] not that i know of [05:23] Daisuke_Laptop: not that im aware of [05:23] so this is a theoretical exercise... [05:23] Daisuke_Laptop: yes [05:23] Oh, should i be trying to accociate with my wireless network whyle im connected with a wired connection? [05:23] okay, just wondering :) [05:23] Starnestommy: you mean..I don't need anymore the services for my domain like afraid.org or zoneedit.com? [05:23] that's what i thought, i just wanted to double-check and make sure [05:23] had me worried too [05:23] I go to application--->system tools-----> and hit virtual box [05:23] how do i take car of those trojan horses if i et one ??, how do i know that i have one, how... how ...how ... === gregorovius_ is now known as gregorovius [05:24] rhineheart_m: it's a full DNS server [05:24] strange how ubuntu doesn't have a server channel. [05:24] if someone wanted to be a jerk and package up a program that people really want that's for some reason not in any distro's repository, and they messed with it so it was a trojan and you trusted them and installed it....that's the only way to get a trojan that i can think of [05:24] Daisuke_Laptop: ^ [05:24] matthias: there arent any known trojans for linux anyway [05:24] mm armanox [05:25] 32bit OSes can directly address 4GB of RAM. The reason is that 2^32 = 4096MB. [05:25] 64bit OSes can address 1.76e13 MB of RAM. That is because it is 2^64. [05:25] okey but skype for example i have to trust ... [05:25] Starnestommy: can I control A and MX records there too>? [05:25] luderacer that's only in theory though [05:25] and not in the ditro ... [05:25] rhineheart_m: you can control any type of DNS record for the domains you have [05:25] Daisuke_Laptop, matthias: rootkits do exist. the attacker would have to get into your box to install a rootkit. thatd require they have some way to get in. example would be an ssh server with root access enabled and a bad password. [05:25] theory != practice, sadly [05:25] does anyone know how to install dreamweaver or photoshop cs3? [05:26] readyin on forum ;) [05:26] macogw: that i know [05:26] =| [05:26] matthias: if you trust the skype developers to not put a trojan in their software, install it. if you dont trust them, don't. [05:26] Luderacer, Thats a lot of ram! [05:26] otherwise my 2xP MMX would have 1Gb ram in it [05:26] Starnestommy: in bind9? can you point to me a tutorial on bind9? [05:26] why is it that when i do manual configurating with wireless the net doesn't work, but when i say connect to an existing network it works? [05:26] ssh is denied by default in firestarter ???? [05:26] 4 gb? [05:26] matthias: ssh isnt installed by default [05:26] that makes me feel safer ... [05:26] 4GB really isn't a lot of ram.... [05:26] No 1.76E^13 [05:26] i work with servers at work that have 96 gb [05:27] oh, 1.7 exabytes [05:27] i can check that with rpm -q ssh right ... [05:27] rhineheart_m: I'll look for one [05:27] I run 2GB in my box [05:27] ;) [05:27] just in case :) [05:27] warriorforgod-----> any other hints or suggestions on what to do....... [05:27] Because I'm not ready to run 64bit Vista [05:27] matthias: if you installed openssh-server and had it running, port 22 would open up for it, and it would listen on that port. if you killed sshd, nothing would be listening on port 22, so itd be effectively closed. [05:27] and i'd wager that your servers are not IA-32 [05:27] matthias: no that's Red Hat style [05:27] ugg...vista [05:27] for instance, i do use ssh, but i have a pretty decent password - and root access is disabled. so that's an area of entry that's not going to work well - but if my password DID get out, sudo could become a liability. [05:27] matthias: dpkg -l openssh-server [05:27] lol [05:28] Sun boxs armanox [05:28] okey , thank you ... [05:28] that run solairs and RH [05:28] Daisuke_Laptop: right [05:28] yes, vista's bad and all, but it's been working and I don't want to reformat [05:28] photoshop.. anyone? [05:28] rhineheart_m: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto [05:28] yum belongs to redhat as well ??? [05:28] Luderacer, 96 is a lot of ram but imagine using the capacity of what the 64-bit can handle [05:28] matthias: yes [05:28] should be Sparc64 [05:28] juice_: the GIMP. [05:28] matthias: debian's package manager is apt [05:28] yeh they run 32bit and 64bit [05:28] *nods* [05:28] okey ... [05:28] or if you OWN a copy of photoshop, it's been getting far better support in wine lately [05:28] matthias: instead of "yum" use "apt-get" or "aptitude" [05:29] matthias: it's still "install" "remove" etc [05:29] okey ... [05:29] i been waiting to install rh anyway [05:29] let me uninstall yum ... [05:29] Daisuke_Laptop: even with wine i can't run photoshop? what about a virtual machine? [05:29] good morning [05:29] matthias: but apt lets you update the repository listing and do your updates separately. "sudo apt-get update" updates the listning. "sudo apt-get upgrade" installs updates. [05:29] can someone help me with bcm43xx? [05:29] juice_ - you should be able to run wine in a vm [05:30] i am used to it in centos but have not been serious enought about protection there ...

[05:48] !better | yo___ [05:48] yo___: 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. [05:48] but are there ones that will split an incoming 30kb/s between four 3com NICs? [05:49] Well thanks anyway [05:49] juice_, as long as the drivers work, it will be fine .. drivers are drivers, its just preferential to have apt install and manager your packages [05:49] ill rephrase that.. is dsl better for booting from an sd card?

[06:07] like nothing different.. [06:07] tharwat, I see.. even on windows i THINK that the go series has a different driver.. all the other nvidia cards use the same driver for all the cards afaik [06:07] is there anone who can help me set up my internet in private? [06:08] ogre, hmm metecity --replace ?? [06:08] yo___: what are you trying to do sorry only just came on [06:08] bluefoxx, nobody is in the pclinux room answering..or so he says, but..ive been to that room and have had people answer me just about every time, so i dont have any idea. [06:08] ph0rensic: thats only on linux [06:08] i wonder...could i upgrade my pci bfg nvidia 6200 to a pcie bfg ncidia 6800 without having to change anything? like reinstalling anything? [06:08] ph0rensic [06:08] ? [06:08] well something like that came up at reboot for s split second and when i put the computer in hibernate i got an dos cursor like twinkling nor suspend did turn of my computer ... [06:08] bluefoxx: yes i believe i did geforce 4 -> 5200 a while ago [06:08] ka2, you sure? I have had nvidia cards for years and its always the same download for all cards [06:09] yo___, yah [06:09] or wake my computer up with the poer button on my laptop ... [06:09] thats what i said [06:09] nothings really chaning when i click different stuff [06:09] ph0rensic, yes right... well, do u have any idea how to install the driver? [06:09] ka2, but you said its only for linux? [06:09] poer means power button ... [06:09] so i wouldnt have to do anything like sudo dpkg--reconfigure nvidia-glx-new? [06:09] tharwat, but you have pclinuxos [06:09] only on linux that there is one driver for all [06:09] sorry about that ... [06:09] i have an ati1400 graphics card ... [06:09] bluefoxx: as i said i did nothing - it just worked [06:09] im saying throw in the newer one, pull the old one than boot back up as normal, and not change any settings? [06:10] ka2, No even for windows... unless they changed their driver architecture recently [06:10] kewl [06:10] ph0rensic:its not doing anything when i change stuff [06:10] ph0rensic: under windows geforce go & geforce are seperate [06:10] no wobbly windows or anything [06:10] matthias_: did you try both suspend and hibernate? [06:10] ph0rensic, so that will not work on my system [06:10] yes ...

[06:11] matthias_: ive only used hibernate, but it should require using the power button to turn on....it just takes you straight back to your desktop with things still running once it does [06:11] so then i suppose once i ocme into about $100 i will go for that new card... [06:11] ph0rensic: yes [06:11] ph0rensic: unless there isnt one at all [06:11] nothings happening ll ka2 [06:11] as explained in suspend i should be able to wake up the pc with any key or the power button but nothings happens ...

[06:11] * bluefoxx starts looking for a local job that *dosnt* require A+ certification or completed high school [06:11] ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 [06:11] tharwat, No thats not it, you just have to find the driver... Im not sure how pclinuxos manages their packages.. and since its not open sources, you cant build it .. probably gotta install from binary [06:11] yo___: yikes [06:11] ok, one last time....I'm trying to configure the open LDAP server....I followed the directions at help.ubuntu.com, editing the slapd.conf, and ldap.conf files, then tried to restart slapd, only to be told the slapd.conf file doesn't exist.... [06:12] yikes? [06:12] yo___, what? [06:12] yo__: ATI Radeon Xpress with compiz [06:12] ph0rensix:nothings happening when i change stuff.. [06:12] matthias_: what about hibernate? [06:12] the power button does not seems to make any different in this case i am on an dell inspiron laptop [06:13] matthias_: i dont ever use suspend (not quite sure what it's for) [06:13] yo___, direct rendering prbably isn't enabled.. you installed the driver with restricted manager? [06:13] yo___: never heard of that working for anyone [06:13] yep [06:13] how do i enable direct rendering? [06:13] Geoffrey2, are you repeating because nobody is answering you? [06:13] yo___, we gotta see if it is enabled first.. i dont remember how to check [06:14] yo___: glxinfo | grep direct [06:14] hibernate does not work as well, well the screen turns black but the rest is turned on wireless but i ca not get back on, have to use the power button and force it to turn off and turn on it again ...

[06:16] ph0rensic what do i do? [06:16] * bluefoxx sighs...if only there were a command line version of frost/limewire...then he could watch his movie and download his music at the same time... [06:16] Geoffrey2: is it in the right place :) [06:16] or do as ph0rensic said if you do not currently have a GUI installed. [06:16] yo___, hmmm well if its enabled does it say the name of the missing module? [06:17] no [06:17] ahh okey .. [06:17] i will try that, have to go and sleep it is pretty late but thank you and see you tomorrow i hope ... [06:17] matthias_: good luck [06:17] alright guys, i really need to get to bed [06:17] gnight.. thanks for all your help [06:17] thank you and thank you for you efforts to try ... [06:17] should I check on "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD..." when wanna download ubuntu? [06:17] ka2: my geckos name is ka =) [06:17] peace out [06:17] yo___, ok see ya later [06:17] guys, do u know the code for grub to boot linux in a smaller resolution? I made a mistake installing a big resolution but i also have nstalled smaller resolutions during xorg confg [06:17] how would i upgrade my system from command line? say i wanted to upgrade a system from 7.04 to 7.10 but not use any kind of GUI? [06:18] bluefoxx, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade [06:18] Presario: if you're getting problems you can just delete (backup) your xorg.conf and it will repopulate when you reboot [06:18] ka2, it's in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf, which is exactly where I'm being told it's not when i run the restart command [06:18] IcE_^: do you want the alternate one [06:18] gye [06:18] ph0rensic: ok, kewl; thank you [06:18] Geoffrey2: strange [06:19] bye everyone out there ... === intarwebz_ is now known as intarwebz [06:19] bluefoxx, if it says it cannot do it, there may be a repository you need to add.. i dont recall [06:19] I'm reading about a program called preload at the moment, seems almost too good to be true. Can any users provide insight on this? [06:19] ph0rensic: kk [06:19] ka2: what is the different if i choosed the alternate one? [06:19] intarwebz_: i mean to use a different video mode... i set 1400x800 but i wanted to use 800x600 [06:19] IcE_^, alternate what? [06:19] 0mp13371331337: why would you want it. i use hibernation [06:19] c0mp13371331337: am using it. doesn't make much of a difference to me. nothing seems faster, but nothing seems slower [06:19] Presario: so there's stuff you can't see on the screen? [06:19] ph0rensic: alternate CD [06:19] IcE_^: no livecd [06:19] IcE_^, it is not livecd [06:20] * bluefoxx needs a explicitive hardcopy linux manual...or a printer, website database and binder [06:20] IcE_^: alternate installer is a text-based installer. desktop cd is a gui installer. both result in gui systems. [06:20] I am confused... [06:20] IcE_^, Alternate installs using command line [06:20] it says failed to start the X server... [06:20] IcE_^, well yah text-based [06:20] aha, ok. [06:20] !alternate >ice_^ [06:20] Presario: but it worked previosuly? [06:20] oh is the alternative cd text based? [06:20] !alternate: IcE_^ [06:20] IcE_^: not really command line. text user interface. blue and red and grey and you use arrows and hit enter and type things a lot [06:20] Presario, is it grub res you want to change or for x server? [06:20] i made a alt install CD, but i burned it on a friends vista computer system...and it wound up w/o a kernal to install... [06:20] !LiveCD [06:20] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [06:21] macogw, right .. thanks for correcting [06:21] bluefoxx: "works for me" [06:21] im back for a bit lol [06:21] yo, sneak [06:21] why does the gutsy cd have packages on the CD that aren't installed? really annoying when it asks for the CD [06:21] how can i transfer files from my windows comp to my lil bros ubuntu comp? [06:21] anybody know a quick tut for instaling sendmail functionality for php in dapper? [06:22] yo: without the __? [06:22] ka2 - Hibernation seems a bit different than preload, unless I'm not reading correctly. Preload seems to cache frequently-used programs so they start faster, whereas I thought hibernation merely saved programs you have running so you could turn off the more power-hungry hardware on a computer. [06:22] c0mp13371331337: correct [06:22] c0mp13371331337: and data [06:22] mage__, you must like all the extra programs windows installed that no one uses too eh? [06:22] c0mp13371331337: all hardware actually [06:22] ka2: a kernel-less system?it failed when it finished...actually it wouldnt even finish...i had to borrow a pci graphics card and a pair of 256 SDram sticks to install... [06:22] ka2: do you know how to transfer files between the 2? [06:22] yo: what 2? [06:22] mage__, jk ... kinda weird huh.. it doesn't do that often at all [06:22] computers === unklaberz is now known as black_mask27 [06:23] one running ubuntu and the other running winxp [06:23] does it to me every time I dont remove the CD from apt.sources [06:23] erm the thing is... i had problems with ubuntu starting up and Z_o-s-o have been helping me along and i found out that my Geforce FX5200 is causing the hardware detection problem... so mow i used my onboard video which does not support high resolutions like my geforce FX.... so since i set it to a high resolution, i think it wont be able to load. now im thinking of using a paremeter like "linux NOACPI" or something like that to use save v [06:23] yo: samba [06:23] with two active eth interfaces, is it possible to download single file simultaneously. i.e. half through eth0 and half through eth1 ? [06:23] yo: You can email them... :P [06:23] samba? [06:23] not 30 gigs worth odd lol [06:23] yo: over network? [06:23] yo: right click > share folder [06:23] how do i set up an ad hoc for that? [06:23] ph0rensic: actually I wouldn't mind an install with every package, but I wouldn't want to ever update it :) [06:24] yo: crossover cable :) [06:24] mage__, probably because the cd-rom has the packages you are looking for too which are also avail on web.. on cd for no net access folks, on web for rest of us [06:24] dont have [06:24] i wanna change the resolution for linux graphical so that i can boot properly [06:24] oone [06:24] yo: hmmm [06:24] yo: tricky [06:24] ka2: i could make one from a cheaper patch cable cuz im slick like that lol [06:24] mage__, not update it?? leave security holes??? [06:24] sleep time [06:24] yo: yeah but its easier to have one [06:24] yo: :) [06:24] ka2: even then i have to set up a network tho right? [06:25] yo: yeah [06:25] a lan network.. how? [06:25] do u all know the "cheatcode" so that i could add it onto my grub line? [06:25] ph0rensic: can you imagine updating a machine with all the metaverse etc packages installed? [06:25] yo: static ip addresses [06:25] thats the only reason i haven't installed everything [06:25] Presario, may try to reconfigure x: $sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:26] does anyone know what causes screen flicker?.... the text and images/windows? [06:26] yo: external hdd? [06:26] ph0rensic: ouh okey... ill try. Cant i cange the resolution it uses? [06:26] nope.. no money lol [06:26] yo: lots of dvds :) [06:26] mage__, ahhh i see what your getting at ... comment those out for updates??? [06:26] yo: this is tricky [06:26] yep [06:26] yo: why all computers should be networked :) [06:26] yea I did that both times [06:27] yo: already [06:27] anyone know why 1080i would cause screen flicker?... [06:27] ka2: for realls lol [06:27] awwe...i can't use "O|¯|_" as a nickname... [06:27] Presario, in the gui yes.. and maybe with some slick cli command, I wouldn't know it offhand though [06:27] illriginal: change the refresh frequency (Hertz) [06:27] it's at 30 =\ [06:27] oh well... [06:27] bluefoxx, ?? [06:28] ph0rensic: ouh okey ill reinstall it [06:28] i was trying to see if i could use "o|¯|_" as a nick name [06:28] illriginal: increase it to 60 if its CT [06:28] Presario, actually doesn;t reinstall it, just reconfigures it ;-) [06:28] ph0rensic: but it comes out as "o|" [06:28] earthling, how would i change hertz via terminal? [06:28] bluefoxx, oh hha [06:28] it's LCD HDTV earthling* [06:28] $sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:29] how do i do file transfer thru a wireless network that both of my comps are on? [06:29] orz fails...so orz. XD [06:29] yo: right click > share folder :) [06:29] earthling was that directed towards me? [06:29] illriginal: i dont know the right refresh rate for HDTV [06:29] i know, but how do i access it from another comp? [06:29] yo: in ubuntu [06:29] yo, you can either setup a share and download that way or maybe use ssh?? [06:29] yo: a windows one [06:29] illriginal: yes [06:29] yo: ? [06:29] ssh? [06:29] mine's 60... 80 max. [06:29] huh [06:30] im transfering from windows to ubuntu [06:30] yo: so Places > Network if the iwindows one is shared [06:30] illriginal: If the refresh rate is the problem then it will solve this. otherwise i have no ideas [06:30] *windowds [06:30] yo, easy answer: external HDD [06:30] no money [06:30] lol [06:30] ok gonna try to change it manually :P [06:30] eh external hdd isn't easy [06:30] i put my c drive in entirety as a sharing folder lol [06:31] well unless its really new ubuntu [06:31] ph0rensic: hehe yeah tired it [06:31] yo, hah win lets u do that? [06:31] Presario, it work? [06:31] mage__: real easy actually [06:31] ph0rensic: you plug it in [06:31] ph0rensic: now waiting for good results [06:31] nvm i got it [06:31] shaweet [06:31] illriginal: k. thats all the that i can think of. [06:31] ka2, yah what gives eh? [06:31] ka2: 7.04 livecd didn't have write access to ntfs [06:31] yo: Places > Network [06:31] i figured it out lol [06:32] ka2, cause you dont have the ntfstg3 or whatever its called.. ntfs write support [06:32] awww wth! it says frequency out of range in my monitor [06:32] earthling what is that command supposed to do?... [06:32] mage__: hmmm i thought partially it did [06:32] ph0rensic: okey it worked!!! [06:32] haha [06:32] Presario,yay [06:32] it says my permissions arent enough to view all my stuff tho [06:32] go back to default settings, earthling? [06:32] ph0rensic: haha thanks [06:33] what package should i download to access my svn server? [06:33] yo: share just the dir [06:33] yo, can you edit the permissions? [06:33] in what? [06:33] yo: btw windows shares C: by defualt [06:33] yo: as c$ or something [06:33] illriginal: will open a blue terminal where you can configure the Xorg setings. Google it. Ubuntu forus have covered it quite well [06:33] ph0rensic: im happy for now... but the problem now i have to face is that i want to use my graphic card... not my onboard. And help here? [06:33] i wonder how long it will take? [06:34] Z_o-s-o: u there? [06:34] yo: over wireless a long time [06:34] yo, Presario sure go into your bios, disable onboard.. forces to check forces it to find external card [06:34] yo: ethernet a while [06:34] ka2: i was having problems accessing C$ and the likes of it. all those ending with $. any reason? [06:34] i wish i had a crossover cable.. [06:34] hi everybody, im using ubuntu but not able to shutdown [06:34] earthling: you need admin rights for the windows box [06:34] riad: what happens? [06:34] riad: just hold the power button... NOT lol [06:35] just givs blank screen [06:35] okay, i still need help setting up my buddies wireless...i'm using this site and trying to run thru this but encountering issues...any help would be great http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574501 [06:35] i treid all commands but no use [06:35] apple is swank and made the ethernet ports on some of thier laptops auto negotiate [06:35] ka2: admin rights at linux end or windows admin rights? [06:35] ph0rensic: hope it works.. but last time I fixed my video card in, it get stuck at loading hardware driver... so it sure be my video card not compatible for linux. isnt there have nvidia drivers for download? [06:35] riad, dont do that .. i did it once .. and ended up reinstalling .. now that drive has several errors even after i zero fill it.. [06:35] earthling: windows [06:35] and im running GNOME [06:36] how do i hack into my windows comp thru ubuntu? i don't wanna waitfor the permissions to activate.. [06:36] ok, so i have this rather wild idea...im going to build a computer dedicated to routing my network...but ill also leave the option to put in extra hard disks and share those, as well as that, i want to have two floppy disk drives in it with a grub boot floppy left in one and a freedos floppy left in the other to allow networked computers to boot from, and access...it will run on a 500mhz celeron socket 370 in a slot one adaptor, on [06:36] a asus p2b-f mother board with 256 ram and 5 NICs, one for uplink and the rest for other computers to connect to. my quiestion is is there an linux OS i can use for this that is under 900 MB[hdd for it is only 850] and will i have to use xover cables...and on top of that will i actually be able to make the floppy disk drives network bootable? i plan to use them for rescue situations[so im not allways loosing my super grub and my [06:36] freedos floppies] [06:36] ka2: but they dont prompt for a password. just says that drive not accessible! [06:36] Presario, nvidia cards are supported... it should use generic vesa drivers at first anyway, then you can get the proprietary drivers after its up and running [06:36] how do you get k3b to rip audio cd to mp3? [06:36] what shll i do to be able shutdown [06:36] earthling: it only works sometimes :). filesharing with windows is like that [06:36] riad: maybe report as a bug? [06:37] riad: did your pc partly shut down? [06:37] earthling: right click on the folder you wanna share and go to sharing and security [06:37] im not able to report a bug [06:37] then click share this folder [06:37] bluefoxx, Im sure its possible... if they can make a server run off of <8 MB's ....

[06:57] juice_, install compiz [06:57] billy: realplayer==vlc, live messenger==amsn [06:57] juice_, btw, you are using Gutsy? [06:57] juice_: compiz is installed by default in gutsy [06:58] ka2, opensuse does work the resolution 1024x768 (xme or somethin) but in ubuntu its resized somehow [06:58] juice_: just enable it in the appearances thingy [06:58] my friends are also retarded.. and they use my comp alot.. so winxp is the way to go for them lmao [06:58] Lloigor: im using 1024x768 here [06:58] Lloigor: what video card? [06:58] gforceIIme200 [06:58] juice_, check Preferences --> Appearance --> Visual Effects [06:58] billy: search google for "medubuntu" if you want an easy way to get all the media codecs...and vlc is the way to go for a vidia/audio player. that or gxine [06:58] ka2: i have compiz but i want the 3d windows to be added [06:58] ka2: i dont see it in ccsm [06:59] juice_: what are you talking about? [06:59] juice_: what do you mean 3 windows? [06:59] 3d windows needs to be compiled from source - it's quite awkward to do. [06:59] juice_: compiz does 3d effects [06:59] k thanks alot guys [06:59] juice_: do you mean the old old plugin where windows popped off the cube? [06:59] maybe i can forget about the computer virus know as windows xp for good lol [06:59] There's instructions on the Compiz Fusion site though. [06:59] ka2, maybe its a special video mode (xme) needed [06:59] billy: get compiz running on your comp, then show them the features it has, ask if they can do thos ethings with theyr windows computers. all my friends *want* linuxnow[theyr parents wont all let them though] [06:59] bed time for real this time lol [06:59] juice_: ye olde beryl one? [06:59] macgow: YES!!! [06:59] juice_, compizconfig-settings-manager install it if you dont have [06:59] that hasnt been around since.....the second to last beryl release? [07:00] Lloigor: "worked for me" "just worked" :) === _icesword_ is now known as icesword [07:00] ka2: techno_freak: what macgow said^^ [07:00] juice_: i think you have to go back to edgy to use that [07:00] ka2, i hope you enjoy [07:00] * bluefoxx wonders if he should have another coke...its only 11PM [07:00] ok, so my issue is that in Ubuntu Gutsy my SATA drive continually hums (I have never heard this SATA drive tick or click like an IDE drive does, so I gather it is the drive working, like the clicking you would hear on an IDE drive). This is on a tower, not a laptop. In WinXP the drive is silently except when actaully be accessed. Any help? [07:00] macogw: really? no port to 7.10? [07:01] macogw - not o - i've got 3d windows on my Gutsy. [07:01] juice_: there hasnt been a package for it since then [07:01] *not SO [07:01] NEUR0M4NCE1: how!? [07:01] macogw, is he meaning just a cube or anything more? [07:01] techno_freak: remember how beryl used to let you have the windows kinda pop out and stack up when you pulled the cube back? [07:01] AlonFW: in my expirence, drive clicking means backup. now. your drive is possibly dying [07:02] i mean the windows pop off the cube in layers [07:02] techno_freak: hasnt done it since like dec '06... [07:02] macd, I think that is in compiz too [07:02] macogw, there are similar effects in compiz na [07:02] macogw, oops [07:02] ph0rensic: not packaged. still exists somewhere in cvs or svn or something if you can make it work [07:02] macogw: havnt done it since compiz fusion was announced :) [07:02] similar=/=same [07:02] has anyone had experience setting up logitech mice ? specifically the mx revolution [07:03] macogw, I thought it was under a new name like 'offset' or something [07:03] i've got btnx but have not a clue how to configure it [07:03] http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Plugins/Cube [07:04] 3D windows at the bottom of that page [07:04] bluefox: I read that drives have acoustic managment, I wonder if that might be related, when I use hdparm to look at the setting it says the suggested acoustic management setting is 254, but it is set at 0; however, I don't know how to change it as hdparm does not support SATA [07:04] oh woah wait it says its been repackaged again now [07:04] techno_freak, macogw, juice - Yeah, the 3d windows with depth when you initiate cube. There're instructions on how to install on the Compiz Fusion site, but it's quite hard to do... === Boglizk_ is now known as Boglizk [07:04] armin van buuren - the sound of goodbye [07:04] NEUR0M4NCE1: could you point me? [07:04] AlonFW: sdparm [07:04] 3d windows isn't hard to do. i followed a simple guide [07:04] bluefox: Do you know of a tool or command that will let me see how much the drive is actaully being accessed? [07:04] oop [07:05] wrong chat, my bad [07:05] flow0ver: where? [07:05] i have 3d windows with all effects working [07:05] got it all compiled in one terminal session [07:05] actually it works very easily in hardy [07:05] flow0ver: i want [07:05] just hit the checkbox and go [07:05] lemme find it [07:05] cool [07:05] yay [07:05] w00t [07:05] bluefox: sdparm shows entirely different and unituitive parameter names, I don't know which is for the acoustic managment, do you have any tips or resources? [07:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585491 [07:06] flowOver: thanks [07:06] SeveredCross: my last a few lines up was actually for you [07:06] AlonFW: try "lsof /dev/hda". for a drive list do "sudo fdisk -l". also, smartmontools should give you hdd info for newer drives[sata supports SMART] [07:06] Hey everybody, sorry to be this guy, but is anybody reading me? New IRC client, and I'm having trouble getting a response from anybody... [07:06] AlonFW: No idea, I just know sdparm is what you generally use. [07:07] can anyone help me figure out how to configure btnx for the mxrevolution [07:07] hey can you tell me why i have to add build essentials to install from source? [07:07] downguy: I can hear you [07:07] downguy: Hi. [07:07] ol_dude67: sudo apt-get install build-essential [07:07] Thanks, AlonFW. Guess it's just my personality =(! [07:07] ol_dude67, why from source? [07:07] ol_dude67: because without it, you have no compiler [07:07] ol_dude67: we already explained this [07:07] AlonFW: BTW, you can partly type someones nickname then hit the tab key until you get the nick you want. makes faster and ensures correct spelling so they see the message[ im usually lazy and dont check unless alert pops up, but im more awake than usual] [07:07] i know how to install it, i just wanted to know why i had to, shouldnt it come pre installed? [07:08] ol_dude67: ubuntu has to fit on one cd. with compilers it won't. ubuntu is meant for end-users who should never have to compile anything. [07:08] can any other applications read a file if root has read/write access to it, and nobody else does? [07:08] ol_dude67, ka2 ^^ thats how to do it [07:08] bluefox: lsof /dev/sda did nothing, no error, nothing [07:08] ol_dude67: no [07:08] ol_dude67: no, because most people dont need it [07:08] ph0rensic: i read it wrong [07:08] ol_dude67: itd be a waste of space to people like my mom, my brother, my sister, and my roommate [07:08] i've found a guide for suse. maybe it's doable [07:08] ka2 i did too.. but he said he is getting told he has to install from src? [07:09] sup [07:09] AlonFW: then theres nothing using that file...try "sudo !!' or "sudo lsof /" [07:09] can any1 help me [07:09] ka2, is he just wondering why it isn't installed by default? [07:09] ka2: did it work 4 u? [07:09] !justask | benito [07:09] benito: 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. :-) [07:09] * bluefoxx sighs deeply...bed at midnight [07:09] ph0rensic: yes [07:09] ph0rensic: no he's a slackware user that's pissed off because ubuntu doesnt come with compilers because he refuses to use binaries and wants to compile everything from source even though we have apt [07:10] ok well my gnome desktop isn't working really good [07:10] benito: in what way? [07:10] macogw, OIC well he should stick with slax then [07:10] ph0rensic: or gentoo [07:10] ph0rensic: or linux from scratch [07:10] ka2: did the 3d thingy work 4 u? [07:10] or Core Linux [07:10] I noticed slapd.conf is set to read and write access only for the owner, root, and group and others access is set to none....would slapd be able to access that file with those permissions? [07:10] ka2, speaking of you ever done LFS? [07:10] i got an abort [07:10] juice_: havnt tried [07:10] it's like LFS but with no scripts at all [07:11] ph0rensic: started [07:11] and now my ccsm has no decorations [07:11] ph0rensic: but never finished [07:11] well i start my comp. and after a lil while it give me a error saying that gnome is broke and i have to restart so fix that problem [07:11] ka2, story of my life hehe.. so core eh.. whats different? they give you a base that works? [07:11] ph0rensic: never tried core [07:12] ph0rensic: LFS has some setup scripts included. Core has nothing. [07:12] can any1 help me! [07:12] ph0rensic: one of my friends says that's why it's his favorite distro [07:12] macogw, OIC, I got pissed cause the LFSLIVECD didn't boot [07:12] benito: youre gonna need to give more info than that [07:12] benito: what message? [07:12] macogw: only the sysvinit scripts [07:13] gnome is broke please restart that system to fix that problem!! [07:13] macogw, and going from the book is agonizing when your not a linux pro [07:13] ka2: dunno. thats how he explained it to me. im not brave enough to try it! [07:13] benito: dont know of any message "gnome is broke" [07:13] how to kill x [07:13] icesword: ctrl alt backspace [07:13] yeah!!! [07:13] what is the best IDE for java web development in ubuntu .. Tried "Bea Workshop Studio"..But it keeps crashing..cos it was primariy made for Red Hat [07:13] no,that will restart it [07:13] 32mb of video card is already okay in ubuntu server without GUI right? [07:13] benito: what's the *exact* quote [07:13] benito: most messages are in proper english [07:13] no,that will restart it [07:14] icesword: oh. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [07:14] well is cuz i have my computer in spanish so i dont know how to translate!! [07:14] k [07:14] macogw, hah i was gonna say [07:14] :) [07:14] benito: #ubuntu-es [07:14] rhineheart_m: having no video card is ok [07:14] Ububegin, eclipse? [07:14] benito: there's a spanish help channel [07:14] techno_freak: what? [07:14] how long does it take to register with nickserv? [07:14] nsna, 2 mins [07:14] well it send me here [07:14] nsna: 2 seconds more like it [07:14] ka2: yeah I will agree with that for motherboards with built-in video card [07:15] ka2, I was assuming he MAY have down syndrome.. [07:15] techno_freak: more like for J2EE (like JSF etc).. not J2SE... [07:15] how do you know that it started to work? [07:15] rhineheart_m: you only need it for the install :) [07:15] ka2, wanted to leave him some room for error [07:15] benito: join #ubuntu-es [07:15] rhineheart_m: then use ssh [07:15] ka2: I won't agree that! [07:15] rhineheart_m: why not? [07:15] benito: no hablamos espanol aqui ;) ellos hablan espanol [07:15] oh he's gone ok [07:16] ka2: since the PC will not boot up without the video card [07:16] ok, i have the music applet installed, and i have xmms installed. however, i cannot use music-applet to control xmms, it tells me "no module named xmms.control installed" yet, i have *every* xmms item i found in the repos installed[got too lazy to read every description]. what should i do? [07:16] rhineheart_m, Yah dont need much at all for command line [07:16] rhineheart_m: ever heard of headless servers [07:16] Hello. Is there a clever way to prepend to file with IO redirection without an intermediate file? I tried "(cat bigfile; cat prependfile) > bigfile" but to no avail [07:16] ka2: good thing for you your video hardware has built into the motherboard [07:16] if nothing else, Ubuntu has definitely improved my patience...... [07:17] rhineheart_m: no i have a geforce 8400 [07:17] Meh, the other way around of course. [07:17] Geoffrey2: what with? [07:17] Geoffrey2, hehe if you want a big lesson in patience... try slackware [07:17] ph0rensic: no linux from scratch or archlinux [07:17] ka2: some PCs won't boot up without video card [07:18] rhineheart_m: scary. mine does [07:18] ka2, arch is bad? I was under the impression arch was easy .. is that slack based ? [07:18] rhineheart_m: and my old one [07:18] ka2: yeah I agree with that...if you go with ssh...no need for video display [07:18] ph0rensic: it isnt anything based [07:18] ph0rensic: its not easy nor bad [07:18] ph0rensic: it is very fast (like gentoo) [07:18] ka2: but your old one has built in video hardware, right? [07:18] Is there a way to use beagle without having the beagle process running in background? [07:19] rhineheart_m: no [07:19] ph0rensic: I'm sure...I just have come to accept that more often than not, nobody really has any answer for how to get a particular application up and running...so i come back over a several day period looking for help [07:19] puff: i thought that was how it workded [07:19] mobos with built in cards are wasting space and resources [07:19] ka2: nothing? really? [07:19] rhineheart_m: yes [07:19] ka2: mine will not boot up without the card... [07:19] rhineheart_m: oh [07:19] there's options in the bios to ignore video errors usually [07:20] rhineheart_m: but for a server anything that works should do [07:20] Geoffrey2: :( [07:20] Geoffrey2: what apps? [07:20] flowOver: agreed [07:20] at this point, just openldap [07:21] ka2: I just asked this.. since I could not afford to lose 128 MB card...I could have it used in other machines that need it [07:21] ka2, Arch is offshoot of CRUX .. I win [07:21] flowOver: The next lot of GFX cards are going to have an option to use the onboard GFX chip like SLI/Crossfire. [07:21] ka2, http://kde-files.org/CONTENT/content-files/44218-linuxdistrotimeline-7.2.png [07:21] the configuration files exist, slapd says they don't....and I'm really not sure why [07:21] ph0rensic: arch was inspired by crux [07:21] NEUR0M4NCE1: good luck with that gimmick [07:21] ph0rensic: according to arch [07:22] ka2, so you win? I think inspired means it still derived from it...as in ubuntu derived from debian [07:23] Is anybody here knows a link which would guide me on how to set-up radius server in ubuntu gutsy [07:23] ph0rensic: no ubuntu is based on debian and many packages come straight from debian [07:25] ka2, Perhaps you win.. I've never touched it so i dont know for sure [07:25] what is the best IDE for java web development (JSF) in ubuntu .. Tried "Bea Workshop Studio"..But it keeps crashing..cos it was primariy made for Red Hat [07:25] !ru [07:25] if anyone would like to look at the slapd.conf file, it's posted here..... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57558/ [07:25] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:26] Eclipse [07:26] Ububegin: [07:26] Geoffrey2: maybe you should try the forums [07:26] flowOver: what is Ububegin? [07:26] flowOver: and what about eclipse [07:26] he asked what a good ide for java is [07:27] flowOver:ph i see :) [07:27] can anyone recommend a good wav to mp3 converter [07:27] lame [07:27] Is there such CA certificate that's free?

[07:38] help [07:38] for example:update [07:38] no icon now... [07:39] Fi you couldn't get the icon.. you could simply update your box manually.. [07:39] well, so far I haven't found a forum post of someone who simply couldn't get slapd to admit it's own configuration file even existed.... [07:40] once i delete the panel for mistake... [07:41] so i diy one [07:41] richie: did you delete the notification area? [07:41] i have added the notification area [07:41] hey guys, got a question about graphic drivers in ubuntu. right now i'm running hardy alpha 5 release, and so i'm waitin for the new envy release to get the latest nvidia drivers. now i'm running the default ones and i'm gettin high temps while i do anything. i assume this is normal and might get fixed when i install the proper drivers? [07:41] i'm using gFTP and trying to dump a bunch of folders with files inside them. it's giving me an error and i THINK having trouble creating all the directories and placing their subdirectories and files inside them. i remember having this problem before but i don't remember how to solve it. is there a way i can basically dump a bunch of folders and their contents into this ftp? [07:41] but no icons on it now... [07:41] cause this never happened before, atleast when i was running xp it didnt get this high [07:42] i can move to the notification area and r-clike to use the function [07:42] just no icons now [07:42] for example :update and pidgin [07:43] richie: Start by googling for 'Gnome'and 'notification area' and 'missing'. [07:43] i don't know how to display the icon on notification area... [07:43] makaveli: you should join #ubuntu+1 for that and envy is not supported [07:44] so is ubuntu halting because i'm running xgl or is it because it just does that? [07:44] ok [07:44] richie: try this... Right click on any space that is not been used on one of the panels and select "New Panel", a new panel will show either at the top or the bottom. [07:45] richie: then go ahead..just follow your instinct. It won't harm you :) [07:46] richie: You can also join ##gnome and ask there to get a more profound answer. [07:46] thank u [07:46] i'm using gFTP and trying to dump a bunch of folders with files inside them. it's giving me an error and i THINK having trouble creating all the directories and placing their subdirectories and files inside them. i remember having this problem before but i don't remember how to solve it. is there a way i can basically dump a bunch of folders and their contents into this ftp?

[09:24] supplicant* [09:24] Enos: try to find out with lsusb and lspci [09:24] juice_ it would seem the Linux client is in development [09:24] you'll have to use Wine to run the .exe [09:24] NetEcho: O.. ty [09:24] i'm trying to start programming in ubuntu... any suggestion for IDE? I've tried anjuta but crash, can anyone point me to the right direction? [09:24] juice_ no problem [09:25] ApOgEE- IDE?

[09:25] hi all.. [09:25] as in IDE connectors for hardware? [09:25] soundray, believe me, I would love that functions, but unfortunately, i'm on winblows. i tried looking under hardware, but no luck. [09:25] leylox: the file is in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf -- but you shouldn't need to modify it directly if you use NetworkManager [09:25] ApOgEE- what language? [09:25] soundray: some modify in clock.c to make similar osx clock [09:26] to get steam is it just 'apt-get install steam'? [09:26] er [09:26] NetEcho, no... IDE=Integrated Development Environment [09:26] soundray: ps. my english sucks :( [09:26] Enos: oh, and you can't boot a live CD presumably... [09:26] sudo.. [09:26] juice_ steam is a windows app [09:26] juice_ you'll have to download the .exe and run it in wine [09:26] NetEcho: ic [09:26] ApOgEE- what language do you wanna program with? [09:26] NetEcho, any language, I'm trying to learn programming C++ in ubuntu [09:26] Theri0n_666: your English is just fine. Have you looked at the options for the clock applet that gconf-editor reveals? [09:26] soundray, correct! i have a weird cd-rom that connect via usb, and in the middle of the live cd it just stops responding [09:27] ApOgEE- try KDevelop [09:27] Enos: have you got a desktop computer handy? [09:27] netecho, KDevelop?... OK... thanks [09:27] NetEcho: so what did i just install when i typed sudo apt-get install steam? [09:27] soundray, yes [09:27] juice_ something other than valve's steam client I would assume [09:28] is there an alternative to devede, i tried both in feisty and gutsy and wasted 8 dvd's! bcuz all have no sound i even tried on gutsy to fix that no sound problem!!! [09:28] soundray: sure, but don't there anything that like me... [09:28] lol [09:28] type steam in console and find out? lol [09:28] Theri0n_666, you might have to download the sources for Gnome Panel, not sure you can get just the clock applet [09:29] trying wine now [09:29] Enos: one way to get it installed would be to move the laptop disk to the desktop PC temporarily [09:29] does any no of linux OR WINDOWS alternatives to devede? [09:29] any1* [09:29] Enos: there are also experimental install methods based on Windows -- look out for wubi [09:29] Theri0n_666, try #gnome? [09:29] soundray, wubi sounds interesting [09:30] NetEcho: command not found hehe [09:30] Squawk: i've also applied a patch, "gnome-panel_2.18.1-0ubuntu3.diff" but nothing to do :( [09:30] Enos: anyway, the install link should tell you about some more options that you have. [09:31] juice_ lol [09:31] soundray, no worries. I'll give the SD card a chance. I think I have pretty good idea on what to do. If I accomplish this, I'll report back. [09:31] soundray, have a good one. peace. [09:31] juice_ try sudo apt-get remove --purge steam [09:31] Enos: also, don't forget about tuxmobil.org -- you might find installation reports for your laptop model there and see how others have dealt with the problem. If all else fails, you can always use virtualization... [09:31] see if it gives you anything [09:32] can't see wpasupplicant.conf in system.d either... and i already tried just using NetworkManager, but it doesnt work... so i was following the instructions from WiFi docs but failed :( [09:32] is tovid a devede alternative? [09:32] NetEcho: worked thanks [09:33] juice_ no prob [09:33] what can i use to add stuff to my ipod nano? [09:33] leylox: make sure wpasupplicant is installed: 'sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant' (it should be by default) [09:33] yup, did that [09:33] I'm trying to find all files named *.dic on my system, I'm looking for the dictionaries.

[09:35] rockbox doesnt support my rca lyra either [09:35] :( [09:35] nevemind... sudo updatedb fixed it.

[09:38] there is an application in windows called firefox ultimate optimizer it solved my problem [09:38] puppetmaster: and does firefox gradually fill it up, or does it fail straight away? [09:38] nabcore sorry wireless isn't my area hopefully someone else can help you with that [09:38] firefox gradually fill it up [09:38] is there anyway to make an ext3 partition writeable? [09:38] NetEcho; that's ok, thanks anyway [09:38] leylox, as I remember, I had to make my own /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [09:38] leylox: do you get errors when you do a 'sudo apt-get update'? [09:38] NetEcho: i found the .msi but not the .exe [09:38] it's pretty basic [09:38] juice_ .msi will run under wine too [09:39] squid0: don't confuse please [09:39] sweet [09:39] or atleast should [09:39] soundray: no, I'm trying to help. what's the status atm?

It shouldn't be needed, anyway. I suspect you have some firefox add-on that leaks memory [09:41] ok, and no it doesn't give me an error as far as i can see (then again I could be looking at one and unless it shouts 'error' at me i wouldn't know.

[09:43] puppetmaster: exit firefox, open a terminal and run 'firefox -safe-mode'. Use that for a while and see if it solves the problem. If it does, you have a rogue add-on.

I was hoping to find something that monitored disk usage, network usage, # of threads running, memory usage etc. [09:43] and log it [09:44] sleepster something along the lines of this? http://www.blacklightfury.com/sysinfo/ [09:44] also, something that checked disk usage and when disk ran low, to e-mail me [09:44] archman: that's really weird -- leylox has the same issue. This file should normally be installed with the wpasupplicant package in gutsy. [09:44] NetEcho: w00t they have EVE [09:44] juice_ heh yea [09:44] NetEcho yup [09:45] archman, leylox: I have that file on a bog-standard gutsy installation that doesn't even use wireless. [09:45] sleepster those kinds of features aside from what you see on that website you'll need to program yourself or use multiple tools [09:45] NetEcho what is that?

What kind of wireless card do you have? [09:48] soundray: i've read somewhere that wpa_supplicant is processed via built-in network manager. is it possible? [09:48] NetEcho: yeah EVE takes too long to get up there and the ships could use an overhaul [09:48] using cinelerra, avidemux or KDEnlive...how do I combine lots of video files and make them 1 AND ALSO make it play instantly after the previous one without delay? [09:48] or any othe rprogram which i can apt-get [09:48] juice_ I can re-activate my account with my iteron mark 5 and a few kickass mining barges [09:49] archman: that's what normally should happen. When you try to connect to a wpa-encrypted network, NetworkManager should ask you for the credentials and create wpa_supplicant.conf automatically based on your input (leylox) [09:49] well I have an intel card on a laptop. now how do I make it dual headed_ [09:49] soundtrack: ok, i'll try that... [09:49] NetEcho: im an EVE n00b, i just redo on 14 day trials ROFL [09:49] lol soundray, not soundtrack lol [09:49] juice_ lol [09:49] s2a: I think kino might help [09:50] those ships took me like 2 years to get [09:50] soundray, ya i have kinop as well [09:50] broadcom, bcm4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g ?

[09:50] :( [09:51] juice_ one of my more fav games is Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri [09:51] soundray: it asks for passphrase on 128-bit wep encrypted; will wpa_supplicant.conf be created once i enter cred? [09:51] mmorpg? [09:51] leylox: you could live without wifi for now and hope that hardy fixes it (release end of April)... [09:51] i got 14 video files to merge and kino only lets me put 1!

How can I backup a full RAW partition? [09:52] NetEcho: peace man [09:52] s2a: you could try concatenating the files. The result won't be a legitimate video file, but maybe kino or cinelerra can deal with it and save a proper one. [09:52] sleepster: jsp is working with tomcat but not with apache [09:52] LordOfThePigs, what,raw,can you read it [09:52] icesword, it's encrypted with truecrypt [09:53] And I obviously want the backup to be encrypted too [09:53] soundray, ya but im rely stupid in video editing so is there a program that YOU are familiar with so that u can tell me exactly wat to do click by click ? [09:53] icesword, So, Is there a way to dump a full partition to a file, in a way that allows the data to be restored to the partition later [09:54] LordOfThePigs, what about ghost [09:54] I don't care about incremental backup for that particular partition, it's pretty small anyway [09:54] s2a: no, I don't do much video editing [09:54] icesword, is this available for free?

[10:15] when I type startx, i get fatal error no screens found [10:15] restarting gnome doesnt have any effect [10:15] it still doesnt work [10:15] cambazz: it's not supposed to start x. it takes you through a step-by-step reconfiguration of X. sort of like a wizard [10:15] btw i use kubuntu more [10:15] im using tomcat 5.5.26 java6 jdk and ubuntu 6.06.2 and managed to let java work via tomcat: localhost:8180/java. How do i configure/what do i have to do to see them via apache [10:15] i am also on there channel as well [10:16] squid0: well it wont do that. no errors no nothing [10:16] xorg or xorg-server [10:17] jhend60, right, without knowing the intel graphics, the only suggestion I can give would be to download the alternate install cd which uses a text based intaller and works with more hardware, other than that, you'll need to keep asking in the channel, sorry i can't suggest anything else [10:17] cambazz: weird. I suppose I've never tried it with no xorg.conf. [10:17] i got 3 partitions / (ubuntu) /swap and /home, if i want to install gentoo on my partition /home should i resize or create 1 from /home? [10:17] TerrorBite: I think its more of a driver issue. Email Nvidia to show support [10:17] flowOver, I have an intel card [10:17] flowOver, this is an Asus EeePC [10:18] ok, it seems to think it's enabled now :) gonna go give it a try - if it doesn't work i guess i'll be back some other time >.< thanks for all your help and suggestions :) bye [10:19] Can somebody help me get Compiz Fusion to work on Ubuntu with an ATI Radeon 9600 video card and the propietary ATI drivers, the version which is in the Ubuntu repositories? [10:19] * squid0 is away: Gone away for now. [10:19] squid0: please turn that off [10:20] Arelis : use the latest the work much better. I'll grab a link to a great guide for getting the drivers working.

[10:25] fraw : Lemme SSH across and check. [10:25] menisk: what about this guide?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-99489608eb537a1a0346cdd3ad34209d7887714a [10:25] anyone know how to mute speakers when headphones are plugged in? [10:26] Does anyone know the command to delete recursively in Unix? [10:26] Arelis, that guide should be fine [10:26] hubris-, rm -rf you need to run as root [10:26] danand: I tried it but it says bash error [10:27] hubris - man rm [10:27] hubris-, you probably don't need force do rm -r will do. [10:27] thanks guys I fixed my X [10:27] hubris-, just dont "sudo rm -rf /" [10:27] now I need to make it dual headed [10:27] Why my gparted cannot format to ntfs? [10:28] I have done this thousands of times but I dont know how to do it using ubuntu - and an intel video card [10:28] is there any network wizard that uses wpa_supplicant.conf file so i can enter my eduroam account? [10:28] rhineheart_m - what did you type exactly? [10:28] fraw : yeap I have it [10:28] -o user=username [10:28] fraw : Just try reconifging and see if that helps. [10:28] reconfiging* [10:29] what is the matrix? [10:29] menisk: must I first uninstall the old one? === paniangggggg is now known as paniang [10:29] menisk: ok, thanks [10:29] archman: no [10:30] Arelis, use this guide because I know it can go over the old one. http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [10:30] menisk: uses the same mechanics. [10:30] rhineheart_m - that should be "ssh -o user=username" replace username with the name of the user you want. also don't include the quotes [10:30] i need to process a log file that has a lot of dns lookups to do, i tried to use dnsmasq but that didn't seem able to cope very well [10:31] soundray: wireless applet ? it uses wpa_supplicant.conf... [10:31] archman: what's the question? [10:31] Arelis, Then either shoud be fine. [10:31] I read the fixvideoresolutionhowto article, tried some of the steps. I had backed up my xorg.conf file and restored it - i don't understand why, FFS, restoring the xorg.conf doesn't resotre my previous settings. I'm still stuck at 800x600 [10:32] menisk: hmm, odd... still no config file... when I run the config... I don't get any confirmation, just an odd "Content-Type: text/html" message with nothing else [10:32] fraw, uninstall no-ip and reinstall it. Sometimes the windows method works. :P [10:32] soundray: is maybe program wireless applet capable of using created wpa_supplicant.conf? [10:33] I have a problem with display-config-gtk. Each time I start X my resolution is wrong because the refresh rate changes the wrong figure I change it back to the correct value in display-config-gtk and it works fine but the same thing happens next time I start up. If I try to use a second monitor for dual-head the option for the correct refresh rate is no longer present and so I can't correct it but the second screen works fine. [10:33] archman: if you mean the nm-applet that comes standard with Ubuntu, then yes, that works with wpasupplicatn [10:33] *wpasupplicant [10:34] anyone else out there feel the sway of the force? [10:34] soundray: so how do i make it use conf file i created? [10:35] archman: it should use it if you put it in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ [10:35] archman: you may have to restart network manager (best to just reboot) [10:36] Hi there, whats the quickest way to do a mass find/replace on 10,000 lines in a file? [10:36] AdvoWork: sed [10:36] gedit and hit Ctrl-H i think [10:36] AdvoWork, gedit has a find and replace function. [10:36] does anyone know about syntaxhighlightning on vi? [10:37] the thing is, i just tried doing a find/replace using winscp's editor which is like a better notepad, and that bummed out after a while :S [10:37] AdvoWork: use sed [10:37] Use gedit it's way better than notepad [10:37] how can i start nm-applet in terminal in order to see exactly what he does? [10:37] yes [10:37] i've got to say ubuntu really has come leaps and bounds for home desktop use [10:37] but vi is more nerdy [10:37] Yea [10:37] soundray: how can i start nm-applet in terminal in order to see exactly what he does? [10:38] soundray: to see every command nm-applet proceses? [10:38] i allways hear that if you can vi that you are even more fasten then anything else [10:38] random1nt ill use either, can use vi aslong as its quick, as ive got 8 files to edit, each with approx 10,000 lines in [10:38] archman: /usr/bin/nm-applet [10:38] In terminal [10:39] archman: I don't think that's possible. Do a 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' to see what's happening [10:39] i don't have that much lines yet [10:39] archman: you can start it from terminal like FergoFrog says (after you killed any existing instances), but it won't log to the terminal [10:39] Okk [10:40] but does anyone know about syntaxhighlightning, especialy for java [10:40] i tried that already, tnx anyway [10:40] is gedit installed as default on unbuntu or do I have to get it? [10:40] default on gnome [10:40] random1nt: what program you using, gedit has most modern languages built in [10:40] AdvoWork: it's standard, but why don't you use sed? [10:40] soundray, not everyone knows sed. ;) [10:41] AdvoWork: it's installed in a standard install [10:41] yeah i'd never heard of sed to be honest lol, how do i use gedit then, cant find it? [10:41] AdvoWork: easiest way to see something like that, is open a terminal and type gedit [10:41] AdvoWork, It's probably called text editor [10:41] AdvoWork: Applications-Accessories-Text Editor [10:41] can some1 pls help me make my webcam work? i'm using Acer Aspire and i think ny webcam is suyin... [10:41] AdvoWork: if you open a terminal and type gedit and its not installed, it will tell you how to install it. [10:41] AdvoWork: just gedit /path/to/file [10:42] AdvoWork: what do you want to replace with what? [10:42] alt+f2 gedit [10:42] menisk: it worked! now i can game and have compiz, and it's not even slow (compiz isn't slow. nexuiz is..) thanks! :) [10:42] ;) [10:42] soundray firstly need to replace INSERT INTO table to INSERT INTO adifftable then some other stuff [10:42] Arelis, compiz will run on most things fairly well. :) [10:42] #join Django [10:44] menisk: why were people complaining that this was slow? [10:44] menisk: it's faster than 'radeon' [10:44] im doing gedit /path/to/file and its saying cannot open display(null) [10:44] one more question I have a script file called cleanup.sh How do I execute it? [10:45] sh cleanup.sh [10:45] AdvoWork: if the filename is foo, do "sed -i 's/INSERT INTO table/INSERT INTO adifftable/g' foo" [10:45] AdvoWork: try sudo apt-get remove gedit then sudo apt-get install gedit [10:45] or ./cleanup.sh [10:45] FGLRX used to be dogey, it's still not great but it's always been faster than the radeon drivers. The only issue I have is the inablility to play videos in compiz, you'll have that too and lack of Vsync. [10:45] thanks [10:45] FergoFrog: that's not good advice (AdvoWork) === wasta is now known as puspita [10:45] soundray: fixes all my problems === muhroji is now known as hh [10:45] hubris-:#!/bin/sh <- is this your first line? === hh is now known as muhroji [10:46] menisk: what? but i need to watch video's [10:46] FergoFrog, scary as it is the windows method actually works sometimes. [10:46] AdvoWork: you have to have gnome to run gedit. You must be running a shell that can't access your graphical screen [10:46] Arelis, you can temporarily stop compiz to watch them or watch them fullscreen instead. === muhroji is now known as ho [10:47] menisk: yea I know [10:47] menisk: mplayer -vo sdl path/to/movie.avi does the trick :) [10:47] AdvoWork: make a backup of your file first if you're using sed for the first time === wasta is now known as puspita === puspita is now known as chaca [10:48] Arelis, I remeber finding a way to make mplayer work with compiz but it screwed the aspect ration and made people look skinny. I don't watch videos under linux much. [10:48] random1nt I was instructed to do it from a certain directory. I found it and executed the script file without a problem. IT worked. Thanks [10:49] FergoFrog, how many reinstalls of catalyst and reboots etc. do you think it'll take to make my crossfire work? I'm putting a guess at 3. [10:49] how to quit editor [10:49] menisk: give it 10 to be sure [10:49] :P [10:49] zhangmaodi_: which editor? [10:49] thanks [10:49] ubuntu [10:49] edit my.c [10:50] lol [10:50] i start mplayer from the terminal too, works the best [10:50] Hows it going just DL ubuntu first time with linux system before installing i was wondering how well it might owrk for gaming [10:50] FergoFrog, I'll be sh*tted if I open the ATI boxes and find no crossfire bridges or DVI-VGA adapters. It's a refernce card so SHOULD have both. [10:50] zhangmaodi_: Esc :q! [10:50] menisk: Lol [10:50] zhangmaodi_: use nano instead of edit [10:50] menisk, use the -monitoraspect option of mplayer to correct the skinniness [10:50] Steven_Office: works great on a few games, not at all on many. [10:51] as in, -monitoraspect 4:3 [10:51] TerrorBite, tried it and failed [10:51] StevenR123: Depends what games and how you're planning to play [10:51] soundray,thanks [10:51] there a mmorpg i play its about 2 years old.. im just desperate to get away from windows lol [10:51] menisk, damn. Tried the scale filter? [10:52] StevenT123: what is it? [10:52] ive been reading the translation time is what hurts gaming from taking it to direct x to something linux can use [10:52] TerrorBite, yeap. I was watching I DVD which was NTSC and it put it in PAL resolution and refused to change [10:52] called archlord by codemasters [10:52] StevenR123: some games have linux native ports [10:52] !games | StevenR123 [10:52] StevenR123: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:52] !games [10:53] cool thanks for that link === KenSentMe_ is now known as KenSentMe [10:53] StevenR123: you have 2 options pay for Cedega or try wine [10:53] ya wine is what i was reading up on [10:53] StevenR123: Wine is the best but for some games it takes a bit of configuring [10:53] StevenR123 or you can run a seperate partition with windows which is your best option for gaming. Or like me run a seperate computer. [10:53] hey [10:53] my editted file ,the default filepath is? [10:54] how do i active backports repository? (http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html) [10:54] StevenR123: if you have much resources then you can try a VM ;) [10:54] zhangmaodi_: the one where you launched the editor [10:55] random1nt: That's sorta stupid [10:55] well mine isnt the newest machine by any means just a 2ghz 1gig of ram and a 128meg vid mem the partition would probbably be best bet [10:55] sounray,thanks [10:55] random1nt, VMs direct X is slow buggy and quite frankly. Shit. [10:55] soundray,thanks [10:55] it was a jocke kind of scnr [10:55] StevenR123: Yes dual booting is the best method [10:56] I know that it cost to much resources ;) [10:56] random1nt, half the time it doesn't even work. Just crashes VM. [10:56] alright i use a small 20gig drive as my OS drive its currently running xp. is it possible to partition that drive and split it to have ubuntu [10:56] !dualboot | StevenR123 [10:56] StevenR123: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [10:57] very possible [10:57] I always forget about ubotu. [10:57] Sorry ubotu. [10:57] can i install windows on a linux partition? [10:57] !thanks [10:57] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [10:57] I appreciate the assistance alot guys [10:57] StevenR123: yes just download a Gparted live cd resize your windows partition with it and install [10:58] Just download the ubuntu livecd it has gparted on it no? [10:58] FergoFrog: u mean resize my linux partiton? [10:58] p0gz: yes you can do that [10:58] * Loe_Vee add FS KU YAch tha.is@MMe :P [10:58] Hell you can resize with the ubuntu install disc [10:58] * Loe_Vee add FS KU YAch tha.is@MMe.com :P [10:58] menisk: yes [10:59] FergoFrog: so i will download Gparted live CD now [10:59] Yes you can use the Ubuntu Install Disk but for ease of use gparted live cd is the best [10:59] FergoFrog, I worship gparted. xD [10:59] Hi everyone, is anyone familiar with amsn? Today my amsn automatically updated (via the "updates" thing in ubuntu) and when I tried to start it, it came up with this message: http://www.dottout.com/amsn.png [10:59] Lol yea [10:59] I think pOgz was mislead [10:59] Librustralia: use Pidgin [10:59] hi all.

[11:00] Does anyone know how to use the -c option in lftp? [11:01] jimpy: in Terminal? [11:01] pOgz he was talking to someone else when he said stuff, I don't think you can install windows on a Linux Partition [11:01] hey i have a 4965agn wireless card and am not able to connect to a cisco 1130agn access point, which runs a wpa-enterprise peap wifi... anyone who has an soulution ? [11:01] hello all. sometime my window decoration disapperar wtf? how do i re enable them without rebooting? [11:01] scout: can you scan for the router? [11:01] LukelL: damn.. i really need to install windows vista? [11:01] FergoFrog, how do i do that ? [11:02] hmm just rough estimate how many gigs of memory do you guys think ubuntu will need if i want to go all out with it [11:02] LukeL: i have only partition... [11:02] juice_: are you using compiz-fusion? [11:02] FergoFrog: Yes, Its listed in the man page and in --help but it say unknown option -c. If i move it to the first switch before -u it then says option -u is unknown. [11:02] juice_, You can restart X with CTRL + ALT + BAckspace. Save your work first [11:02] pOgz: what do you have installed right now? [11:02] got a problem with my headset .. everyone can hear whats coming through the speakers loud and clear any ideas why this would happen ? [11:02] LukeL: gutsy gibbon [11:02] lol, I guess juice_ restarted X :) [11:02] kalatian, probably. xD [11:02] juice_: alt+f2 -> metacity --replace [11:03] o_o [11:03] jimpy: Sorry I have no idea about lftp [11:03] random1nt: too late now, he used ctrl + alt +bksp :D [11:03] pOgz you can try to resize your linux partition to make room for windows vista on the same hard drive [11:03] is it possible to have a duel boot system and use seperate drives for each? [11:03] LukeL: can i resize my linux partiton without actually wiping out my linux installation? [11:03] random1nt, restarting metacity won't help if he's using compiz. ;) plus restarting compiz fails sometimes as emerald crashes again. [11:03] pOgz however installing linux first before windows is generally bad [11:04] pOgz yes, I know thats possible however I'm not familiar with how vista installs and how it will treat linux partitions [11:04] p0gz LukeL yes If you already ahve windows it's best to start again and install Windows then ubuntu [11:04] ubuntu repeatedly reboots on me. sometimes it hangs. sometimes it restarts x. sometimes it restarts the computer [11:04] Vista should leave the Linux partition alone [11:04] Hi all, can anyone help, I've got ubuntu installed on a Travelmate 230 and I've tried to get xorg working but I can't get it to show more than 1/4 of the screen.... [11:05] how can I use restricted drivers with a Radeon card? [11:05] Radeon x2600 [11:05] Will vista be all cranky about being partition #2? [11:05] I know all other windows versions were [11:05] LukeL: it just pretends it's partition 1 this time around [11:05] LukeL Vista will be cranky because you booted it. [11:05] StevenR123 - yes. thats what i've done with my machine [11:05] FergoFrog: i have gutsy already installed.. i want to install a 2nd OS which is windows vista. is it possible to resize the partion without actually damaging or wiping out my linux installation? [11:05] I cannot use the restricted drivers GUI [11:06] Asathoor: why not? [11:06] dunno [11:06] p0gz as long as you have the room [11:06] i use a hp 8510p with radeon x2600 [11:06] pOgz yes, if you take your time and be careful about it you should be ok then [11:06] Tell what I can build computers with my eyes closed I wish over the years i woulda kept more studied on software [11:06] lol [11:06] p0gz, Fergofrog left, you can resize with gparted but after Vista you'll need to reinstall GRUB to your MBR [11:06] and have ati restricted drivers installed [11:07] but how to enable them???? [11:07] anyone used sed before then? [11:07] !dualboot | pOgz [11:07] StevenR123, building a computer is no great feat. [11:07] pOgz: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [11:07] Asathoor: open a terminal and run gksudo restricted-manager at the prompt [11:07] read some of those pages =) [11:07] hmm... how do i scan for my router ? [11:07] menisk: isn u suggestion more easier or is it easier if i install vista first? [11:07] Any alternative to webmin? [11:08] kalatian >> ok, I'll try [11:08] p0gz, installing Vista first is easier as you can leave a space for another partition rather than resize and GRUB sorts out the MBR. [11:08] I just say's that my hw does'nt need restricted drivers. [11:09] Asathoor: how new is this computer, and is it a laptop or desktop? [11:09] Any huge issues anyone is aware of when duel booting with xp [11:09] ok.. thank you guys!!! menisk, ForyFrog, LukeL.. i really appreciate ur help [11:09] 2 month old [11:09] i tried to install ubuntu, but the OS wouldn't run. i got a black screen [11:09] so, pretty new [11:09] i will be bcak if ineed something.. tnx guys [11:09] how can i fix it? [11:09] Asathoor: desktop? [11:09] hp >> try to check xorg.conf [11:10] Gnome [11:10] asathoor: how do i do that?

[11:10] laptop [11:10] hp 8510p [11:10] ok [11:10] Asathoor: I'm thinking that the graphics card might be newer then the ATI driver, so it isn't detected [11:11] Asathoor: let me check real quick [11:11] how to quit egrep filename.ex [11:11] kalatian >> yes, the driver says vesa, maybe I should change xorg.conf to ati?

[11:17] sarah__, yep [11:18] thx [11:18] sarah__ - yes, and for the time being thats probably a better option [11:19] ah thx whys that? and whats better about 64bit, speed? [11:19] you can use more memory in 64bit [11:19] upto 4gb [11:19] currently xD [11:19] ah [11:19] sarah__, some software, like certain firefox plugins, aren't available in 64-bit and require a bit of work to get functional [11:21] you can use more then 4gb of mem in 64, up to 4gb in 32 [11:21] sarah__ - for most (read 99.999%) of apps you will notice no difference in speed between 32 and 64 bit [11:22] s2a - can you play the movies your using with devede in mplayer ok?

[11:57] LoLLo: use synaptic [11:57] !synaptic | LoLLo [11:57] LoLLo: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [11:57] _delirium, you need to check the runlevel you boot into and then add gdm to that /etc/rc#.d [11:57] does anyone know how to reduce the timeout for bind on a host lookup? [11:58] _delirium, in a terminal type runlevel [11:59] <_delirium> ere4si, N 2 [11:59] _delirium, ere4si - on my system (default install) gdm shows up in a load if the /etc/rc*.d files [12:00] _delirium, browse to /etc/rc2.d and look for gdm starting with s or k [12:00] <_delirium> S30gdm [12:01] You know how Gutsy has that gdm bug whereby you can't set the background colour between the login, and the loading of gnome, how it's always that tan brown? I know how to fix it to get a different colour there, but how do you get it so that it displays an image? [12:01] _delirium - do you have an entry for gdm in /etc/init.d [12:01] <_delirium> yes === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [12:02] _delirium, by that gdm should start [12:02] _delirium - the symlink in /etc/rc*.d should point to that ie S30gdm -> ../init.d/gdm [12:03] ArthurArchnix: How do you fix the color? I've been wanting to do that [12:03] ArthurArchnix, that's a gconf editor setting [12:03] _delirium - type ls -l /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm to see where that points [12:04] <_delirium> danand, yeah it does /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm -> ../init.d/gdm [12:05] Boglizk: gksudo gedit /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default [12:05] Thanks [12:05] ArthurArchnix, apps - gnome session - options [12:05] Boglizk: At the bottom where it says BACKCOLOR="#dab082" change #dab082 to x ... that's 'x' all alone, in between those quotes.

[12:07] you can with any X program cut+paste [12:07] select the text to copy, press middle mouse button to paste [12:07] but then: X on a server? wtf? [12:08] ere4si: Thanks. I'll take a look at that. Though, it would result in drawing the background twice, so I might just sit through a black screen for 1.2 seconds. :) [12:08] <_delirium> danand, hmm weird, after that reboot i saw some colour and then just the console output from console 7 again [12:08] How can i find the JDK location so i ca set my JAVA_HOME ?

If I try running it "/usr/sbin/gdm" it does the same.

[12:57] neopsyche: you need to install a filemanager [12:57] StevenR123: what exactly are you trying to do==please be precise [12:57] bazhang,i have ubuntu already configured with all my programs etc.. so just want to keep it with flux running.. flux seems to be more stable.. what file manager should i install? [12:57] is there any file manager that can run in flux that has similar features to nautilus? [12:58] neopsyche, fluxbox is a 'window manager' :) any other features - You need to use other apps to use with fluxbox. such as a file manager, or icons for the desktop, or whatever. theres dozens of filemanagers yoyu could use. Depends on what you want. [12:58] neopsyche, you could run nautilus if you wanted. [12:58] neopsyche: try thunar [12:58] neopsyche: or Thunar [12:58] neopsyche: try pcmanfm [12:58] haha [12:58] nautilus fits to fluxbox like GWB in a mensa meeting [12:58] willis_, nautilus seems to crash it though.. and puts a wierd background up .. so i cant see the fluxbox navigation anymore ./ click on anything .. its wierd. [12:58] bazhang -i have a single partion HD running XP as the my OS.. I want to make it a Dual boot machine. for Ubuntu.. Trying to figure out how to partion the drive to accomidate for it [12:59] <_delirium> danand, no change :-( - in /var/log/gdm/:0.log - it says (EE)AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable - but I assume thats not critical [12:59] neopsyche, you need to run nautilus with some optiuon to tell it to not try to take over the desktop. [12:59] StevenR123: get the livecd--it will see the xp installation and ask you to resize and guide you through the steps--really a no brainer [12:59] StevenR123: defrag windows several times use some softawre to resize it and install ubuntu [13:00] I can see by the system monitor that there is some network usage, but I'm not sure what it is. What is the quickest and easiest way to find out what it is? [13:00] Pici, thanks thunar looks fine. [13:00] !info ntop [13:00] ntop (source: ntop): display network usage in top-like format.

It just seemed a little full-on when I had a look. I'm not after all the stats and reporting! :P [13:01] StevenR123: there is an icon on the desktop that says install--have you tried clicking that and what errors did that give you; also how much ram on this machine what cpu etc [13:01] _delirium - can you still start X by typing startx [13:02] SpAc, proberly has 1000+ options you can enable/disable :) [13:02] StevenR123: i think you would be better off resizing windows before you install, do you have "partition magic"? [13:02] IndyGunFreak when i restart my system it asks me which i want to boot but it will just boot via the cd not allow me to install it [13:02] <_delirium> danand, i do see on tty1 before login it says "screen init failed" - but I have no idea if that is X related - I would of thought not, otherwise it would be in the log file [13:02] dsl_, does top display network usage? [13:02] SpAc, i never can seem to get it working right nowever. [13:02] DSL no i dont. is that free ware i can snag off download.net [13:02] <_delirium> danand, startx works fine :-) [13:02] SpAc: it cannot [13:03] StevenR123: i assume you clicked the install icon thats on the desktop, also, how much ram? [13:03] just shy of 1.5 gig of ram on the system [13:03] _delirium - at least thats something :) - maybe try kdm instead? [13:03] well thats plenty [13:03] moi vao [13:03] StevenR123: there is gparted - not sure if it runs on windows though...it has a live CD version [13:03] StevenR123: is that 11GB free, free space on the windows partition or unallocated space? [13:03] dsl_: it doesn't. live cd only [13:03] _delirium: also delete the data not just gnome-applet and reinstall both [13:04] kil [13:04] indygunmagic well you just found the error in what i was doing i figured the option would come before the boot. i jumped the gun and restarted back to windows before ubuntu totally finished loading from cd [13:04] hi - i'm using grub as bootloader, would someone know why error # 17 pops up ? :( i'm going for multiboot and installed grub to another partition then mbr [13:04] wols: thanks ,didnt know that [13:04] StevenR123: ok... [13:04] rs: cause grub can't find its own files. reinstall it properly [13:04] indygunmagic i never let it get to the desktop of ebuntu to see a install icon i got impatient [13:04] indygunmagic lol [13:04] wols: 'reinstall it properly' ? [13:04] bazhang: eh... i've been called way worse..lol [13:05] StevenR123: use tab completion; type first few letters then hit tab key for nicknames [13:05] ok, thanks, I'll give ntop a go... just a bit concerned about this network usage when I don't have anything running, and no one else is on the network [13:05] dsl so you belive it would be safer to get partition magic and handle paritions myself first [13:05] StevenR123: i suggest you read this before installing :http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [13:05] wols: i've been doing it for 4 days messing with it ._.

[13:32] has anyoune compiled his own kernel in ubuntu? [13:33] no, but i did it in slackware 5 yersa go [13:33] years [13:33] once [13:34] cya willis_ and thanks again! [13:34] How do I give root access to a user (other than the first user that is created when installing Ubuntu)? [13:36] Kira: you want to add them to the sudoers? [13:36] weird! can any one tell me what these permissions mean? drwsrwsr-x? [13:37] suid sgid [13:37] setuid setgid [13:37] smallfoot: hmm ... ok perhaps u remember hehe. when u do a choise about module that u want to add to the kernel an dit says that that module depend on other modules does it mean that i have to incorporate those as well? [13:37] bazhang: pretty much. as long as the user can do all the administrative stuff the normal way. [13:38] i mean "is says" not dit says [13:38] the normal Ubuntu way anyway (always using sudo?) [13:39] hi everybody [13:40] hello [13:40] in permissions, what does s stand for? [13:40] can anyone suggest something like flashget that allows multiple downloads of the same file? [13:40] abhi_: suid [13:41] sprocket, i have no idea, im a noob and new to ubuntu [13:41] could someone translate "Timeout waiting for PADS packets" for me? having trouble remaining connected to adsl set up with pppoeconf. [13:41] wols: see i have a directory in which i get this permission string rws what is the s stand for in that? suid? [13:41] Gnome Main Menu Editor (aka alacarte) won't change some menu names. I can't edit GIMP Image Manipulation Program, for example. I change the name, and nothing happens. Reboot doesn't fix it. [13:41] can anyone suggest something like flashget that allows multiple downloads of the same file? [13:41] wols: ? [13:41] ArthurArchnix: I take it you aren't using Ubuntu 7.10 [13:41] !tell abhi_ about permissions [13:41] Amaranth: I am [13:42] tyt [13:42] ArthurArchnix: Then I have no idea [13:42] Hi folks. Can anyone point me to good resources for figuring out a "mpt_config failed" error with an Edubuntu server I've got? It seems to hang at this point and actually only continues if I hit ctl-alt-del (which then completes its boot cycle, instead of rebooting the system...). [13:42] ArthurArchnix: It's probably Ubuntu's gettext support messing crap up again [13:42] Amaranth: No clue where the actual config files are that alacarte is editing? [13:42] ArthurArchnix: Oh, I know that, I wrote it :P [13:42] hehe [13:42] lucky me [13:42] ArthurArchnix: that'd be ~/.local/share/applications/ [13:42] Amaranth: maybe permissions on ~/.local/ or ~/.config/ [13:42] thanks.. [13:42] Amaranth: ^ [13:43] ArthurArchnix: The problem is that alacarte is calling gnome-desktop-item-edit which edits Name[en] but thanks to Ubuntu changes this key is ignored and it needs to change Name [13:43] ArthurArchnix: So this is an Ubuntu-only problem that needs to be fixed in gnome-desktop-item-edit which is a part of gnome-panel [13:43] Not my bug ;) [13:44] Amaranth: hehe... I'm quite happy with it otherwise and don't mind getting my fingers dirty a bit. [13:44] wols: still nothing about s [13:44] abhi_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid [13:44] does anyone know if there is a "fraps" like program that can also record openGL for gusty? [13:45] I am running a 7.10 server with the "mpt_config" issue. Anyone with suggestions? Google didn't help much -- just pointed me back to someone with the same issue 3 weeks ago in Ubuntuforums. [13:45] whoah I just freed the fish.... I feel like that's my good deed for the day! [13:45] Amaranth: So, for example, I would do this: "sudo mv Take/ Screenshot.desktop Screenshot.desktop" [13:45] ArthurArchnix: the file name is unimportant [13:46] ArthurArchnix: it's the contents of the file which luckily are ini-type (like windows .ini files) so very easy to edit by hand [13:46] hi, after some upgrades in myu grup i have 5 entries for kernels and i want to remove them(the entries and the old kernels) maybe keep one for backup. Is a standard way to do this or it is done manualy? [13:46] Amaranth: Ahh.. I see it now. Super. Cheers. [13:46] Lot of langauges in there. [13:46] simion314: remove the kernel packages that you do nor use [13:47] simion314: you really should be using "linux-image" that is a meta-package that depends on the last released kernel [13:49] can anyone tell me how to lock the fish away again? [13:49] Stwange: Okay, what fish is that? [13:49] lock a fish away, mmmm [13:49] cberlo, alt+f2 -> free the fish [13:49] that one [13:49] Stwange: you need to kill your panel [13:49] put it in a tank, then put it in a safe, and the lock the safe [13:50] :) [13:50] !nokia [13:50] Guides for smartphones and portable devices can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/ [13:50] Cool. Nice little easter egg. [13:50] i can remove the old kernels from synaptic? [13:50] simion314: sure, you should probably keep the last one around though [13:50] when creating a partion in XP to be used by ubuntu should i set it as NTFS or Linux ext 2 or 3 === njpatel_lunch is now known as njpatel [13:51] Stwange: The fish appears to leave on it's own. [13:51] StevenR123: leave it as free space [13:51] cberlo, don't be fooled, it comes back [13:51] Stwange: nm -- it's back. LOL [13:51] it's cute at first but.... :S [13:51] Clicking on it makes it swim away pretty fast...

[13:52] con-man im not to worried about it being accsess by both I use a single smaller drive im splitting in half for the os's i have another drive for files [13:52] StevenR123: the important thing is for you to resize windows and create space for Ubuntu. the Ubuntu installer will fortmat the partition as ext3 anyway [13:52] ah I think it's had enough cberlo, 5 or 6 times [13:52] bcp de channel english :/ [13:53] what is the name of the program for geting youtube videos? qtube? is other such program [13:53] Stwange: Okay. Was just looking up how to kill the fish. Found "gegls from outer space" though... [13:53] how do I remove the window selector from the panel? [13:53] simion314: i use a greasemonkey script [13:53] simion314, there's a plugin for firefox called "unplug" - I use that one [13:54] Stwange, cberlo: it won't go away until you pkill gnome-panel [13:54] simion314: i think there is a greasemonkey script that will allow you to download them in firefox [13:54] AuraithX: rightclick on it select quit [13:54] there isn't a 'quit' option [13:54] jrib, is that going to do other things? like kill my desktop? I did "killall Xorg" yesterday and the whole thing froze [13:54] jrib: Will it be gone after a reboot? [13:54] Stwange: it kills your panel and then it restarts your panel [13:54] cberlo: yes [13:55] thanks jrib :). I kind of miss it :( [13:56] Alrighty then. Now, last request on my issue (as I watch this silly fish swim past...): can anyone suggest how I'd diagnose "mpt_config failed"? === badboy__ is now known as badboy [13:57] is there a way to find out what class a window is? say for use in compiz?

I think partition magic is graphical ,isnt it? What you need to do is resize Windows and leave the rest either unformated or formated as Fat32, remember the partition size cause when you install Linux it will name them differently [14:04] AuraithX: of course if you right click on a minimiced window you get the menu for the window not the window selector ;) [14:04] what options are set to block?

[14:06] slashzul, if you have ssh installed, they follow the same access control as your userlist I think [14:07] DSL i appreciate it looked like that did the trick going to go ahead and let the system reboot and attempt a install [14:07] so eg. if your username 'slashzul' has sudo privileges, you'll get those access rights if you ssh in with that username [14:07] StevenR123: please read the link i sent you last time before you install [14:07] i think it will be helpful [14:07] dsl well scratch that i thought this was freeware it wont let me aply the changes it just a demo partion software [14:08] hi guys [14:08] dsl ive got to dig up some other software that will let me create that chunk of memory i need [14:08] can anybody tell me how to connect my external hd [14:08] just plug it in [14:09] mohamed: just plug it in?

[14:10] I usually run amaroK, Kopete, superkaramba, konqueror and konsole. I have tried closing various applications but still the problem persists.

Try this: Go into gconf-editor and navigate to /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options , and then remove the "usefree" option from the list. Exit gconf-editor, and try hotplugging your drive again (from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=582045) [14:36] Welcome to Canada, everyone's favourite neighbourhood socialist hotbed!

[14:39] they are vista made drivers from Sony [14:40] Any idea how to tell cryptsetup to mount and encrypted volume AFTER is has been detected by the USB subsystem? [14:40] now it shows prolific technology inc under lsusb [14:40] because i had this problem with windows, but the update from sony fixed it on windows [14:40] ok, that's good...did it automount the drive?

You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:43] mohamed: ok. from the same web page I found this: First I removed "usefree". It did nothing. [14:43] So I rebooted and my usb devices still wouldn't hot plug. So I put "usefree" back in, and rebooted once more. [14:43] Now my devices all work fine! So it seems that you need to remove it, reboot, put it back and reboot again. [14:43] Strange but... worked for me. .... it'll take a little bit, but you can try rebooting and changing the usefree option back [14:43] found it under .config [14:43] yea [14:43] sorry about the triple post there....... === ^Santri_Cowo^ is now known as hadir_bersamamu [14:43] please visit Korean loco team hompage [14:43] http://ubuntu.hubweb.net/bbs/zboard.php?id=ucc&no=87 [14:43] chris0, quadrouple ;~) [14:44] rosebuntu: do not spam here [14:44] so how can i figure out if the windows driver is installable on linux?

[14:53] l815, You need to recompile alsa using ver 15 NOT 16 to fix that [14:53] Fougner / you should learn auto tools [14:53] Fougner: That really depends on what you're compiling.

[14:53] bod_: laptop [14:53] Fougner: Usually ./configure --help will list some arguments you can supply to point it at other directories for dependencies. [14:53] !webmin [14:53] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.

When I am trying to start the 2nd one, I have a fail message, while starting xserver - it says that bash commands can't be found. E.g. when I try to type startx, it says that command cannot be found in default directory. And the same thing for all oter commands (though ls, cd and other simple commands works). Then I have wrote reb [16:26] oot and, instead of rebooting my PC, ubuntu have started and works! But I have to do the same everytime I load it. What can be wrong with it? I don't want to simply reinstall it, cause it is blank OS, I have nothing usufull here - it is only for learning linux, and I really want to find out what the problem is. Thanks in advance! .

Im trying to get nautilus to show previews of quicktime videos, but I get a core dump http://pastebin.com/m7f805139. any advice on how to solve it [16:41] youtux, you have to modify that file... [16:41] youtux: when u have other operating systems installed and then you install ubuntu, grub will recognize them automatically [16:41] I'm having problems with apache, can't change the home dir :( [16:41] i mean, there isn't a script that detect them automatically? [16:42] RoAkSoAx i know, but i have to make him recognize now that i have installed vi$ta ( i know, it's bad) [16:42] nownot, you need 'motion' [16:42] DRebellion: you have a link or something explaining how to do this? i have motion already instald [16:42] youtux: there no script, at least i don't think so. YOu will have to add it manually [16:42] How will Ubuntu use the contents of the /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0050/eeprom (file)? [16:42] nownot, read the html documentation in /usr/share/doc/motion [16:43] I'm having problems with apache2, can't change the home dir. And the home dir is now /var/www/ ... and it's root [16:43] bullgard4: the driver is using it afaics [16:43] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [16:43] bazhang : I will try to discribe as good, as I can with my English :) Please, wait a little, i will reboot now, and will write the whole message, that I get there [16:43] bod_, you there? [16:43] <[T]an1> also... where in kde can i set where my windows open up? i have a dual screen setup and windows always pop up right in the middle so i cant read them. i thought there would be something like open in windows where the cursor is, or window 1 or 2. but i cant find anything like that [16:44] erUSUL: What driver do you refer to? /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/drivers/i2c/chips/eeprom.c? [16:45] l815, yep,.what can i do for u? [16:45] bod_, my problem is no more :D [16:45] bod_, thanks for the help [16:45] bod_, installing linux-backports-modules did it for me [16:46] [T]an1: there should be a window placement preference setting in the KDE control center. I don't have KDE, so can't confirm -- maybe ask in #kubuntu [16:46] l815, wicked,.glad you got there [16:46] !yay | l815 [16:46] l815: Glad you made it! :-) [16:46] * l815 thanks everyone :D [16:46] <_Oz_> Hello, my friends. [16:46] bullgard4: i guess [16:47] hey. where is the repository file located? so i can add or remove repositories? [16:47] i have another question if it's not a bother [16:47] erUSUL: Thank you for commenting. [16:47] l815, just ask [16:47] sveakex: do it via System-Administration-Software Sources. [16:47] sveakex: if you need to edit the file directly, it's /etc/apt/sources.list [16:47] soundray: thank you [16:48] well i got compiz working on my intel 965, but the video isn't good quality with X11, is it safe to install XGL on gusty? [16:49] l815: I suspect that if you have trouble with the video quality, Xgl is not going to fix it. [16:49] well i tried it with my previous install and it did work [16:49] l815 do you mean xserver-xgl? i did that with my intel 965 and i worked but did not improve video [16:49] yeah i think that's what i mean [16:49] l815: did you use 915resolution to set your resolution to say, 1280x800? [16:49] it worked for me on a previous install [16:49] yeah it's 1280x800 [16:49] if i resize the video with X11 the video is blocky [16:49] DRebellion: only thing i see for motion is when something moves. i need something taht takes a snapshot from camera lets say every 30 secons [16:50] but with XGL running instead of x-server the video looks just fine without using X11 [16:50] usb wireless brands that eork great? [16:50] i just don't know if XGL is good to use with gusty because i didn't try it long enough [16:51] l815 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=674123 [16:51] * l815 still can't stop being happy over the audio fix !! [16:51] l815: Xgl installs easily, but can be tricky to remove. Make sure you have a backup. [16:51] ahh [16:51] and compiz should work fine on an intel chip anyway [16:51] so it's not as easy as just reinstalling xserver? [16:51] heh [16:51] Hint: For anyone interested in listening to Richard Stallmans last speech at KTH in Stockholm yesterday there is a recording at http://www.w3web.se [16:52] erm !compiz, aiglx [16:52] nice bullgard4 but offtopic ;] [16:52] why my system-->preferencies-->main menu won't open when i click on it?? [16:52] * l815 thinks he can finally wipe out the windows partition :O [16:52] does anyone know of a scirpt that will take a picture of my webcam every 30 secons? [16:52] hello, I need some help with iptables on 7.10, I can do iptables -A etc, and it shows in iptables -L, but how do I restart iptables so the new things added starts?

I would suggest looking at kernel compilation. learn how to compile a kernel, first under ubuntu, but also under other distros [17:32] it also dont works if i add saa7134-dvb module [17:32] anthony_: learn as you go. best way [17:32] thanks all!

[17:33] wols: I think NX (from no machine) is a little bit better.....I'd really like it if I could have "full pretty desktop" like NX with VNC; and with no keyboard interrupt problems [17:34] spidey: you will need to get the new driver from nvidia's site for that [17:34] Anyone know how to get sound working on the dell 1420n (the one that comes with ubuntu) with the realtime kernel? (it works fine on the generic kernel) [17:34] !info freenx-servre [17:34] Package freenx-servre does not exist in gutsy [17:34] wols: X server has nothing to do with it.....my crappy windows laptop connects to powerful ubuntu machine....it's quite nice......you mentioned the Novell thing [17:34] !info freenx-server [17:34] Package freenx-server does not exist in gutsy [17:34] I will look up something on NET, and then I have to register a name for myself here :) [17:34] wols: Yea, free-NX seems a bit dead....unfortunately [17:34] bazhang: I've tried the latest from the site, envy, and they all have issues [17:35] spidey, the nvidia website has good drivers for linux if you happen to be using a non standard install (I have a custom kernel for example). you get a shell script to run that pretty much does the entire install for the nvidia drivers [17:35] danhs: it's non-free software iirc [17:35] Squawk: yeah, checked that one quite a few times :) [17:35] Thanks for Support, and Best regards from Russia ;) [17:35] bazhang: I had issues with Envy as well [17:35] spidey: which 8800 is this? the gts or the gts512? [17:35] wols: Best thing about NX or vnc over X window solution is that I can ALT-TAB and other keyboard commands and not have them execute locally, but instead on the remote machine [17:35] Squawk: do not advocate for using nvidia.com drivers in here. it breaks their ubuntu installs. if you want to do that, go to #nvidia [17:35] i add the module with modprobe [17:35] errr *over* meaning "making it better than X window solution" [17:35] bazhang: it's just a gt but with 512 mem [17:36] wols, I said if hes using a non standard system [17:36] I am running with the following command but it keeps including my XP virtual machine which I am trying to exclude.

[17:36] Hallo trying to install Avermedia e506r card with saa7134 drivers but there is no /dev/dvb [17:37] wols: yes; you can enable them in synaptic ;] [17:37] danhs: it broke your ubuntu awfully. please stop talking to me on any future problems your system has. thank you, goodbye [17:37] hi [17:37] wols, if hes looking for a solution and has a non-standard system (custom kernel for example) my solutino will work. I do not advocate one method over the other, but since he asked in here, he gets told in here [17:37] bazhang: I've been reading the forums, and tried all they could think of, and I'm close, but I don't think that it's working because the nvidia-settings won't recognize that the driver is in use [17:37] Bitmess: Use a wildcard * after Virtual instead of space [17:37] bazhang: how about the user doing them? e.g. compiling nvidia sources from hardy? [17:37] genii: thanks [17:37] spidey, have you tried compiling nvidia modules directly into the kernel, rather than as modules? [17:37] Squawk: it will not work. it will break his install. breaking people's install is a NO NO under ANY circumstances [17:38] Bitmess: np [17:38] Squawk: how is that supposed to work?

[17:47] DRebellion: I'm using ndiswrapper and a Linksys card. The percentage is available in network-admin, so there is a system API to retrieve it.

[17:49] werneck: fyi, X serves on a server are a blaspehmy [17:49] wols: because the computer won't have a network to do it [17:49] wols: Hes not installing.

[17:49] groovehunter: lspci [17:49] is there ANYONE who has suspend/hibernate working in Gutsy? [17:49] DRebellion: Do you know the command line to try? [17:50] wols: It looks like I need to sudo to change update-alternatives config [17:50] danhs: no sorry. ~/.profile should do it tho instead of .bashrc [17:50] Hallo trying to install Avermedia e506r card with saa7134 drivers but there is no /dev/dvb [17:50] "detlef@MD97600:~$ man decode-dimms; No manual entry for decode-dimms" Where can I obtain a manual?

[17:50] it always worked great in fiesty and now gutsy is broken [17:50] werneck: a package [17:50] werneck: not sure how to build a custom install cd but you could use an ubuntu alternate install cd as a repository [17:50] wols: huh....I *can* use ~/.profile? [17:50] !anyone | guitrokr [17:50] I guess if I just set editor = emacs in profile [17:50] guitrokr: 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? [17:50] danhs: why not? your user owns that file [17:50] danhs: Try the shell variable EDITOR. A lot of programs check that variable when they are supposed to launch an editor. [17:51] that is my real question wols [17:51] danhs: only executed on real logins tho [17:51] levander`: Apparently not subversion [17:51] guitrokr: no it is not [17:51] frank232: the custom install cd is almost done is working... that's not the issue... I just need the smallest possible x server there, and I need to copy the packages to the cd [17:51] suspend no work, i want suspend work, how much more clear can i be? [17:51] werneck: get xorg [17:51] I changed EDITOR environment variable and subversion behavior didn't change [17:51] I'd like to make it "universal" [17:51] Can somebody tell me how to enable the udp and tcp echo service in xinetd? [17:51] so maybe "editor" variable [17:51] guitrokr: Me. [17:51] hey all, so i have the magic disappearing titlebar issue but i am NOT using compiz. [17:52] i'm an experienced linux user and this suspend thing is killing me [17:52] !dowsn't work | guitrokr [17:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about dowsn't work - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:52] danhs, put export EDITOR= into ~/.bashrc [17:52] danhs: There's a way to tell svn what editor to use, I've done it before. But, I've switched to git. If you can figure out what command svn is using, you could alias that command per-user is one way to do it. [17:52] !doesn't work | guitrokr [17:52] hi, i'm having a problem with firestarter: after i lauch it, it kills itself automaticaly after few minutes, any ideas to solve this ? [17:52] guitrokr: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [17:52] anyone can emulate world 3d poker in ubuntu? [17:52] mejaime: windows program? then #winehq [17:52] levander`: Yea, I agree......I just don't want to have vim be my default editor for eveyrthing *but* subversion [17:52] yes [17:52] wols: yes, that's what I'm asking here... how to get all xorg packages in one dir, not to install them [17:53] I'd just like to set my "editor" path to point to emacs [17:53] wols, i've seen similar questions regarding suspend/hibernate 'not working' specifically hanging X. I dont think guitrokr is being facetious - it's a known issue [17:53] wols it suspends fine, it won't resume, i get the text in yellow "Linu" on the upper left screen and then it goes quite and does nothing at all and i have to hard reboot it [17:53] guitrokr, Are you using an ATI video card? [17:53] but, I figure putting a "editor" link in ~/bin seemed hackish and definitely not hte "right way" [17:53] danhs: Shell variables are almost always used in upper-case. editor won't work I'd definitely bet on that. [17:53] so I was hoping there is "right way" [17:53] no it is an intel chipset Jack_Sparrow [17:53] werneck: clean your apt archive and use the apt-get "download only" option. see apt-get manpage [17:53] i just discovered that if i copy pasted from leafpad into firefox webpage textboxes the indic languages(punjabi specifically) work all fine. its just that i cannot type punjabi text directly into firefox :-( [17:53] Is there a waiting list to be helped? [17:53] it's been a long while since I've used the Linux command line. Is there a recommended primer for the basic commands? like copying/moving files, searching for specific file names, etc? [17:53] guitrokr: I am using Linux for 1 1/2 years now. It was not easy to get it working in Resume from Suspend and Hibernation. One needs to read much and experiment. [17:53] danhs: That's an svn problem. Sometime applications are non-standard. [17:53] levander`: oh? you think so? [17:54] someone avermedia e506r card running? [17:54] bullgard4: i've been spending much time on it and i've gotten nowhere, uswsusp broke it more, so i removed it [17:54] danhs: yes. apps need to honor EDITOR to work [17:54] levander`: I just figured that ubuntu doesn't use environment variable EDITOR but instead used path variable "editor" [17:54] i've looked everywhere but everyone seems to have a different suspend issue, its not just one thing [17:54] danhs: that is /etc/alternatives [17:54] danhs: Yeah, the EDITOR variable is an old standard. I'm sure they've heard the complaints about not support it before. And, I'm sure they've got some non-sense excuse for not doing it. [17:54] guitrokr you are using intel 965? [17:54] go ahead and ask your question, gtno, and be as specific as possible [17:54] guitrokr: The best results I obtained using pm-tools. [17:54] levander`: Okay....I'll just set the environment variable and not worry about it then [17:54] danhs: Every time someone does something non-standard, they've always got some non-sense to back it up. It's rarely really valid. [17:54] nothing else you can do [17:55] noodlesgc: its a 945GM [17:55] any ideas? everywhere i've seen people say their title bars disappear, they were using compiz. this machine could definitely not handle compiz, and it is turned off [17:55] danhs: I don't know that svn doesn't check EDITOR. I'm just commenting on your claim that it doesn't. [17:55] wols: I tried that, but the system I'm using to build the cd already has xorg and other stuff installed, and won't track dependencies correctly [17:55] levander`: Seems silly to have "editor" on the path if I won't use it tho....no? [17:55] ragazzi [17:55] ci siete? [17:55] werneck: then use apt-zip [17:55] guitrokr thats what i have and my suspend && hibernate work. [17:55] ah sorry [17:55] dear friend [17:55] danhs: Not sure what you mean. [17:55] are you here? [17:55] unamed: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:55] !it | unamed [17:55] unamed: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! === levander` is now known as levander [17:55] bullgard4: do you have an intel video driver or something else? [17:55] wols: ok... you're not being helpful... thanks for your time [17:55] guitrokr: The results differ because the hardware differs so vastly. [17:56] guitrokr are you using intel or i810 driver? [17:56] noodlesgc: you have the 945 and you are using the experimental intel driver or the i810? [17:56] levander`: I mean, even if I changed EDITOR environment variable the "editor" path variable is still pointing to vim; which I don't intend to use.....that seems silly [17:56] no? [17:56] i'm using intel noodlesgc [17:56] guitrokr: Yes, Intel video driver. [17:56] nabend zusammen [17:56] guitrokr, See if this is the same issue.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/136453 [17:56] so i should look into pm-tools to fix it with intel driver bullgard4? [17:56] levander: Apparently, update-alternatives can change that to point to emacs....but it's system-wide.....not user specific [17:56] i could really use some help with this, everything is breaking very poorly and makes linux look bad... i have a very new user here, and it really looks bad when simple things break without reason or a fix. [17:56] danhs: What makes you think there's an editor shell variable? Did you set it yourself? If so, yes, feel free to unset. === nevermore_ is now known as nevermore [17:57] <_Oz_> yello [17:57] guitrokr: Yes, this would be my first advise. [17:57] levander: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-the-default-editor-from-nano-on-ubuntu-linux/ [17:57] ok i will research it bullgard4 [17:57] dahlia: Oh. The /etc/alternatives aren't considered shell variables. There's a difference. /etc/alternatives is just the way debian (and derivatives) have set it up to let a system choose default applications. [17:57] levander: The wacky thing is, that guide is suggesting a system wide change [17:57] guitrokr: Good luck! [17:57] how do you allow remote xservers to your ubuntu desktop? [17:58] levander: okay. that's what svn is using.....and frankly, i'd personally prefer if "editor" pointed to emacs anyway [17:58] levander: but I really don't care to make a system wide change [17:58] other people use this box..... [17:58] danhs: You make a good point, /etc/alternatives is system-wide. It'd be better to have them user-specific. I bet aliases is what is recommended for per-user settings though. [17:59] werneck: have you even looked what apt-zip does? [17:59] levander: Ahhh clever..... [17:59] how do you allow remote xservers to your ubuntu desktop? [17:59] levander: I'm still somewhat new to unix in general....alias seems like good solution though [17:59] getting this error: [17:59] wols: yes, I did, and it's not what I need [18:00] anyone? [18:00] access control disabled [18:00] no one else has had this issue? [18:00] Hem, I'm having GRUB problems, it cannot boot Windows on /dev/sda4, returns Error 12, what should I do? The partition was working perfectly until I installed GRUB on /dev/sda [18:00] danhs: Actually, aliases may not work. I'm thinking how it works internally. Just try it and see if it works. [18:00] k [18:00] wols: I'm not installing, I'm building a custom install [18:00] danhs: svn has a shell variable for which editor it uses. I bet you have to set that. [18:00] is it possible to get nawk to rad from stdin instead of just a file [18:01] danhs: Do you know what shell variables are? [18:01] arrrghhh: what is the precise issue? [18:01] werneck: and you doN't have a full CD to use? [18:01] shell variables? no [18:01] not environment variables? [18:01] werneck: youaskd how to get a xorg and its dependencies only into a directory, and it's what this will do btw [18:01] danhs: On a command prompt, type 'env'. That will list all your shell variables (aka environment variables). [18:01] bazhang, so i have a new linux convert. and her computer's old, so she was using xfce. it was acting weird, so i told her to give gnome a shot. she boots in, and not 2 minutes into it the titlebars from every window disappear. she's not using compiz. reboot didn't fix it. [18:02] levander: yep.....config file for SVN *says* it looks at $EDITOR but when I set EDITOR to emacs, subversion still went to vim [18:02] danhs: In the bash shell, you can set a shell variable named FOO to a value BAR via 'export FOO=BAR'. [18:02] so I figured it was just calling "editor" [18:02] arrrghhh: please more info; what cpu, how much ram what video card what drivers etc [18:02] i had titlebars disappear on me with gnome as well. i said screw it and installed kde. [18:03] bizarre, no? [18:03] danhs: Are you setting EDITOR on the same command line that you're using svn from? [18:03] danhs: Are you using svn on a command line or from a GUI? [18:03] errr I added EDITOR=emacs to ~/.bashrc [18:03] command line [18:03] bazhang, it's a strange chipset... the video is integrated VIA and it has 768 mb of ram i believe... is there a way i can determine all this info from a shell? [18:03] no tortoise for linux yet, hence no *good* gui [18:03] danhs, if you make changes to bashrc, run the command "bash" on command line to get access to those new variables/alias's [18:03] danhs: That script only gets run when the shell starts. It's an initialization file. [18:03] okay let me give this a shot [18:04] arrrghhh: lspci and lshw would be good places to look [18:04] This is extremely weird. I have a problem with my laptop sound card on Ubuntu. Its an snd-hda-intel soundcard, Conexant CX20549 (Venice) codec. If I reboot to XP and then back to linux, the sound card is not working. Rebooting to linux again does not fix the problem. But if I reboot to XP while removing the adapter (running the system on battery power), then plugging in the adapter again and rebooting to ubuntu, the card suddenly works. [18:04] any ideas why this would happen? [18:04] danhs: running 'bash ~/.bashrc' won't work. You have to 'source ~/.bashrc' [18:05] Spion: windows may be doing something I have heard of this issue with dual boots before [18:05] the same thing happens with at least 3 versions of the alsa driver, and no standard fixes that I found on the forums helped. [18:05] does anyone have ubuntu running on a dell poweredge 2450? === noodlesgc_ is now known as noodlesgc [18:05] okay [18:05] bazhang, thats my guess too [18:05] I'll give that a shot [18:05] hmmmm [18:05] werneck: sudo apt-get -s install packagename will give a list of what would be installed without actually doing it [18:05] interesting problems [18:05] im trying to install ubuntu server and it keeps hanging at loading additional components [18:05] /part [18:05] Spion: no this is documented; trying to remember the workaround I saw on the forums I believe [18:06] arrrghhh, Did you try metacity --replace [18:06] levander: wow, I really managed to screw this up in a weird way [18:06] evil_tech: what is the issue you are having [18:06] Spion, all I would say is that I have had funky hardware issues with the generic kernel, in that my usb keyboard was not recognised unless I removed the mouse (also usb), and then plugged in the mouse after the keyboard loaded. Updating my kernel (with all the same options) fixed the issue. I have no idea what the problem was, but it was kernel specific, so could be your problem too [18:06] danhs: how? [18:06] levander: actually, I was making changes in .profile...... [18:06] my mistake....; [18:06] Jack_Sparrow, lemme try [18:06] Squawk, so compiling a custom kernel could fix it, right? [18:07] frank232: I know that, but I'm way ahead of it, sorry [18:07] argh, I got away from gentoo because I got sick of compiling. [18:07] :) [18:07] spion - ive heard of this - cant remember what the issue was though .,. something about windows not properly stopping the device when it shuts down. does the same thing happen if you do a hard reboot ie total power off rather than just clicking restart? [18:07] why must i be root to view some files? i get access denied [18:07] Spion, I dont know, but it fixed a hardware issue for me that made no sense (and im still a gentoo nut ;)). Spion, have you tried simply rmmod and then modprobe? [18:07] the installer gets to loading additional components from cd and then says it cant read the cd. the cd works as ive verified its integrity and the device works cause it will boot a live cd [18:07] danhs: I don't even have a .profile in my HOME. Did you create it yourself? By default, .bashrc is the right file to use. [18:08] Squawk, no, but I might [18:08] Bo^Dick it is important that some files be not viewable by regular users [18:08] Spion: I would check the properties of the sound card or settings in xp and change it to not poweroff or reduce function (forgot the variable then try rebooting into ubuntu [18:08] noodlesgc: do you know how to adjust that parameter on a particular file? [18:08] levander: I don't believe I created it but....but here take a look http://rafb.net/p/qh9KSs24.html [18:08] Bo^Dick: what files [18:08] bazhang, sounds like a good idea. [18:08] levander: I mean I didn't create .profile [18:08] bazhang: an image file aaa.000 created by partimage [18:08] Bo^Dick chown and chmod [18:09] Bo^Dick imagine anyone could look at /etc/shadow [18:09] Spion, try everything before custom kernel btw, its a pig (various little issues you are not expecting) [18:09] levander: how bizarre is that? I made changes to .bashrc and $EDITOR is set properly....and SVN is still choking....and now that I've changed update-alternatives to point to nano instead of VIM svn is *really* upset [18:09] Jack_Sparrow, ok that did work. now i know that changed her window manager to metacity, what was she using before? emerald? [18:10] yeah. I will start with poking around in the XP sound card settings, I have a feeling that XP should take the blame for this [18:10] Kostkon: r u there [18:10] (because at the beginning I only had ubuntu installed and sound was fine) [18:10] danhs: You can tell from the error message it is using $EDITOR. But, the problem is it's getting an error internally when it runs 'emacs svn-commit.4.tmp'. [18:10] Spion, just rmmod snd_hda_intel and modprove snd_hda_intel quickly, takes 2 mins [18:10] oh..... [18:10] Squawk, the thing is, sound works right now [18:11] Squawk, so I have to reboot to windows anyway (to make it broken again) [18:11] Spion, boot to windows to make it broken, that might be my new quit message [18:11] Can someone help me turn off ppp compression? [18:11] haha [18:11] hi [18:11] danhs: It's not finding the file svn-commit.4.tmp on the filesystem. [18:11] arrrghhh, gtk-window-decorator --replace [18:11] levander: errr that's strange..... [18:11] well its true. [18:11] :P [18:12] Jack_Sparrow, you're gonna have to explain that one [18:12] can a linux (ubuntu) start without grapchic card installed (or corrupt)? [18:12] danhs: Do this, ohhhhh, svn isn't finding the value of EDITOR. [18:12] naxa, yes [18:12] levander: how do I have it resolve it? [18:12] danhs: Do this, 'export EDITOR', then run svn again. [18:12] levander: that's rather weird [18:12] naxa, you can run it without a graphics card, IF your bios supports it [18:12] danhs: No, it's how it works. [18:12] Spion - does windows break your sound if you do a hard power off rather than a soft reboot? [18:12] wow [18:12] that worked like a charm [18:13] danand, yes its the same. [18:13] levander: why is that? [18:13] arrrghhh, The default in ubuntu is gtk-window-decorator installing metacity fixed it but you could have fixed it with gtk-window-decorator --replace [18:13] do I have to do that everytime I open a new terminal and want to use svn? [18:13] danhs: Do you know how in *NIX that all processes have a parent process? [18:13] arrrghhh, Hope that makes some sense [18:13] only running windows on battery before rebooting (or shutting down and starting up) to linux fixes the problem [18:13] levander: I didn't know that, no. [18:13] Squawk: i see. my problem is that my laptop somehow "lost" its video card, bios is beeping like "there is no video card installed", then boot continues. I thought I might try and re"flash" the bios... [18:13] Jack_Sparrow, can you explain what gtk-window-manager command does? [18:13] easy way to export complete mysql-server ? [18:13] Jack_Sparrow, and how to make this fix permanent? [18:14] arrrghhh, It should be permenant now... [18:14] eitreach how do you know you have ppp compression? [18:14] Spion - wierd :O [18:14] Jack_Sparrow, so the metacity --replace command will be persistent across a reboot? [18:14] levander: how does that explain the need to do export EDITOR tho? I'd like to understand this..... [18:14] danhs: You've got some reading to do and I'm getting tired. You can go ask on #bash if you want to know why you have to export shell variables. But, make sure you have 'export EDITOR=emacs' in .bashrc, and *NOT* just 'EDITOR=emacs'. [18:14] Squawk: too bad that there is only a "winflash" utility on the hp page. [18:14] naxa, have you tried just pusing the card in properly? [18:14] Not sure what knocked them out to begin with.. but easy enough to fix should it happen again [18:14] danhs: Child processes don't inherit variables if they're not exported. [18:14] levander: ahh okay....I'll google search it [18:15] hello [18:15] so subversion didn't inherit EDITOR [18:15] gotcha..... [18:15] can someone explain what gnome and kde are? [18:15] danhs: When one process starts another, the first process is the parent and the second is the child. [18:15] arrrghhh, Sure should persist.. give it a shot.. I will wait for you to get back [18:15] Squawk: what do you mean? sorry i don't understand the word puse. [18:15] screenname: window managers [18:15] screenname92834, window managers... the look-and-feel of the OS [18:15] The child inherits all environment variables that are exported. [18:15] !gnome | screenname92834 [18:15] levander: that I understand.....I use forks to program for parallel processing sometimes [18:15] screenname92834: gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [18:15] !kde | screenname92834 [18:15] !kde | screenname92834 === [D]ANIEL[a] is now known as ^ToX|c_BoY^ [18:15] lmao [18:15] screenname92834, they are desktop environments for linux, but you really need to know a lot more than that. Go to their respective websites [18:15] Squawk: or "pusing" i don't know what does it mean [18:15] ok you've translated one bit of jargon into another [18:15] screenname92834: 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. [18:15] danhs: Oh, so your further along than I thought. [18:15] danand, totally weird, yes. I think XP is messing up things. [18:15] :) [18:15] what do they actually do? [18:16] naxa, "pushing", it was a typo [18:16] Did you understand what I said about exporting and inheriting? [18:16] screenname92834, goto their homepages... you'll see the differences. and i told you, look-and-feel of the OS. [18:16] Squawk: well this is a laptop, has a built-in video "card", i meanm, gpu. [18:16] I have visited their homepages and I don't understand it. [18:16] screenname: change how your desktop looks and feels (and some include other apps (eg. gnome, kde) [18:16] so what is KDE and what does it do? [18:16] does it come with my ubuntu system? [18:16] ok, so at some point last nigth my computer rebooted itself. i dont know why or how, but shouldnt there be a record somewear i can find out?its annoying as i was supposed to be downloadign an torrentthat would have been done by now[if not for the reboot [18:16] screenname: makes your interface look/feel more like windows ;) [18:16] danhs: svn doesn't "inherit" EDITOR from bash if EDITOR isn't exported in bash. Get it? [18:16] Squawk: I've tried to please the gpu with some strokes, however, but no help [18:17] So are we saying kde is just a skin? [18:17] danhs: bash is the parent, svn is the child. [18:17] screen: no [18:17] levander: yep that makes sense...... [18:17] arrrghhh, gnome and kde are desktop managers ... compiz metacity are window managers.. (Poorly phrased sorry) [18:17] danhs: Cool, I really am getting tired. Take it easy. [18:17] screenname92834, it comes with kubuntu by default, ubuntu uses gnome. however you can install kde alongside gnome and vice versa. [18:17] levander: Not "in" svn's environment [18:17] naxa, oh, hmmm. Never seen that before. Don't think your bios would lose the graphics card more likely its damaged, but then not sure how that would happen either... Let ubuntu boot and then try to ssh in and see whats deteceted? [18:17] levander: Okay. Thanks so much for the help [18:17] levander: Appreciate it a lot....and I learned a good bit about bash too [18:17] also, my cpu is running scarily cold[45-55C, and its an overclocked socket 478] [18:18] naxa, im afk 5 mins [18:18] because unlike windows, the windowmanager is separate from the part of the gui that does the drawing to screen/graphics stuff [18:18] so the windows system I have on ubuntu is gnome, and gnome is running whenever I'm in a decent runlevel [18:18] Squawk: good idea, i have several problems though. i will wait you here [18:19] screenname92834, actually technically, the windows system is metacity and the desktop enviroment is gnome... [18:19] screenname92834, look at this http://xwinman.org/ [18:19] screenname92834: My suggestion. Get both the ubuntu livecd and the kubuntu livecd. Try them both out and then you will know the difference (and the similarities). [18:19] Metacity with a capital [18:19] screenname: pretty much (DR is spot-on)... to give kde a spin, install the "kde" package in synaptic (System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager) [18:19] amenado, because I get kicked off the net because of it whenever I try to connect. :) === LupusNox_ is now known as LupusNox [18:20] and the next time you log in, there is a button in your login screen (I can't remember offhand, but it is in one of the bottom corners) [18:20] DRebellion, Check that link.. It helps define the difference and options [18:20] and you can select "KDE" for session type [18:20] eitreach-> do you show that in your ppp log connect ? === credible_ is now known as credible [18:20] So Metacity decided what windows are owned by which processes [18:20] teamcobra, what about kubuntu-desktop? [18:21] amenado, Protocol-Reject for 'Compression Control Protocol' (0x80fd) received [18:21] somebody here know some network or server to help me for my IRCD server a ? [18:21] screenname92834, metacity draws the borders (with the title and minimise, maximise, close buttons) [18:21] its there away to change status to away in xchat? [18:21] CVD-PR, server -> marked away [18:21] eitreach are you running the ppp server? you can run it with noccp option [18:21] Hey does anyone here use Evolution with an Microsoft Exchange server mail account ? I have issues configuring mine to authenticiate properly ? [18:21] so any ideas as to why my CPU is running so cold?i have'nt changed anything in the computer [18:22] I thought someone just said that the graphics was done by gnome, not Metacity [18:22] somebody here know some network or channel to help me for my IRCD server a ? [18:22] somebody here know some network or channel to help me for my IRCD server a ? [18:22] amenado, I think it is already started.. [18:22] can I change the basic config so it will not use cpp when it starts again? [18:22] can someone give me a hand with some screen resolution problems? [18:22] And that website is unhelpful: the first thing it does is refer to more jargon [18:22] screenname92834: The window management is done by metacity. the desktop is done by gnome [18:22] screenname92834, think of it like this: metacity draws the borders of the windows, gnome draws the content inside [18:22] screenname92834, the heavy lifting of the graphics rendering is done by x.org and its drivers [18:22] eitreach you can restart your pppd with noccp option [18:23] This time it's introducting X-windows system. Like I know what that is. [18:23] amenado so sudo ppd --noccp? [18:23] screenname92834, X-windows is the system that actually renders the pixels and ships them out to the graphics card. [18:23] screenname92834, that's the backend I just talked about ;) [18:23] eitreach however you are starting your pppd now [18:23] gnome doesn't draw the contents of a window: the owner application does that. [18:23] bosanac, maybe ask your question in your ircd room? [18:23] amenado, it's on my asus eee. [18:23] I don't know to be honest. [18:23] neverblue, have no #IRCD [18:23] channel [18:24] screenname92834: Just start using the default ubuntu. All the rest will come with time... [18:24] If X-windows is just a rendering system, why is it called 'X-windows' instead of X-draw? [18:24] CorruptTerrorist, you have been asking questions for a few days here, so maybe you should know to just ask your question, not ask for someone :D [18:24] screen: it's called X.Org now ;) [18:24] bosanac, is that the name of the app, ircd? [18:24] eitreach why are you using ppp anyways? you only have a serial port? [18:24] screenname92834, why did you choose the number 92834 in your nickname? [18:24] whenever i change my screen resolution to 168x1050@60, my screen appears with black and white lines and bars [18:24] Odd-rationale: no, this is a case of no-one being able to explain a simple idea without jargon.#] [18:25] amenado, I'm trying to use my mobile usb modem. [18:25] DRebellion: random I think [18:25] CorruptTerrorist, will your monitor accept that resolution ? [18:25] screenname: it's just a lot more complicated than windows ;) [18:25] CorruptTerrorist, Did you enter the v/h rates for your monitor ... into xorg.conf [18:25] neverblue, it's the resolution it's designed for [18:25] Jack_Sparrow, i would if i knew them [18:25] Shell command for searching the whole file system for a specific filename string? [18:25] CorruptTerrorist, well, what about the video card, will it hit that res? [18:25] CorruptTerrorist, Laptop or desktop [18:26] Well, you never ask those question about Windows... [18:26] LupusNox, find -iname "string". but i recommend 'locate "string"' [18:26] Jack_Sparrow, desktop [18:26] neverblue, it's an 8800gt [18:26] i can't find the drivers [18:26] whichever timecan i still in ubuntu without an upgrade then do an upgrade to the latest ubuntu? [18:26] that's just for file names, right? I don't want to search inside the files [18:26] LupusNox, yes [18:26] CorruptTerrorist, Then you need to google up your monitor and look for vertrefresh and hsync rates.. and enter those into your xorg [18:26] LupusNox, btw if you haven't used locate before, you will need to run sudo updatedb to build the database [18:27] Jack_Sparrow, i can never find any results [18:27] Max Sync Rate (V x H), 76 Hz x 82 KHz. Response Time, 5 ms [18:27] Jack_Sparrow, ^^ [18:27] eitreach ahh okay..pppd is for server side, you are a client, unless you are really attempting to become a server and let incoming connections to you [18:27] If Metacity draws the window borders, then why is everyone saying that KDE gives you a different look-and-feel? [18:27] wowowo, reconstructor worked for my chroot remaster ;) [18:27] Hey guys, can anyone help me setup a MS Exchange server account in evolution mail client ? I can't get it authenticating right? [18:28] CorruptTerrorist: Nvidia released updated linux drivers yesterday [18:28] amendo, no, no.. I'm just trying to connect to the web via my usb modem via ppp. [18:28] screenname: google some gnome and kde screenshots, you'll see the difference right away ;) [18:28] I don't think you folks have a clue but you like to think you do. [18:28] CorruptTerrorist, lines 75 and 76 for examples [18:28] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57592/ [18:28] screenname92834, and I think you're just trolling now ;) [18:28] CorruptTerrorist, so the card and the screen can handle the res, yet you dont have the proper drivers, so looks like thats where you want to start [18:28] some truth however [18:29] hello. why there is irssi on my laptop and not on my 64bit ubuntu? [18:29] neverblue, ok... now i need to find the drivers [18:29] screenname92834, the borders only account for 2-3% of the window. also, kde apps just look different and kde comes with different apps than gnome. [18:29] naxa, im gonna be in and out, pm me if you want, but it might be in excess of half an hour (or less than 30 seconds) for me to answer [18:29] it's very easy to spout a load of jargon and make everyone think you know but you don't. [18:29] and how can I search with apt-get [18:29] eitreah i dont know all the ppp client options, so try man ppp meebee you can find an option to turn it off or make sure both ends uses same ccp protocol [18:29] CorruptTerrorist, did you try the 'restricted drivers manager' for the drivers first? [18:29] cambazz, you installed it on your 64bit system (apt-get install irssi?) [18:29] CorruptTerrorist, Horizsync 28-82 Vertrefresh 43-76 [18:29] bah! whaddaya mean this server with a fresh apache apt-get has no httpd.conf file .... [18:29] screenname: not really..... if you took 5 minutes to read about window managers/desktop environments (yes, search engines are your friend), you'd probably get a better understanding of it.... you'd have to read 10 pages maybe [18:29] amendo, I'll try that, thank you. [18:29] Jack_Sparrow, howd you get that? [18:29] Squawk: thank you [18:29] but you're not going to get a very verbose reply in an irc channel [18:30] ok well cheerio folks [18:30] CorruptTerrorist, Max Sync Rate (V x H), 76 Hz x 82 KHz. Response Time, 5 ms is what you gave me right . [18:30] oh yeah, sorry forgot i gave you that [18:31] CorruptTerrorist, It seldom is looking for the low end of the range... [18:31] Hey guys, can anyone help me setup a MS Exchange server account in evolution mail client ? I can't get it authenticating right? [18:31] hey guyz...just downloaded pidgin...and executed the "./configure" command...and when i executed the the "make" command...this is what i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57588/ ...i think it's some thing to do with the dependencies....although i might be wrong....can some one plz give me a hint or point me to the right direction...thnx [18:32] B-rabbit: Why didnt you just get it from the repos? [18:32] Why both compiling it? [18:32] B-rabbit, Why are you compiling your own pidgin when it is readilly available [18:32] bother* [18:32] B-rabbit, why are you not installing it from a .deb (in symantic or using aptitude/apt-get) ? [18:32] why are you compiling it [18:32] just so sudo apt-get install pidgen [18:32] pidgin even [18:32] * Cpudan80 hears an echo [18:32] its pidgin AuraithX [18:32] B-rabbit congrats for taking the effort to compile your own..hehe [18:33] thnx [18:33] Seriously though, sudo apt-get install pidgin will do it [18:33] is there any way i cann add personal messages on msn on Pidgin? [18:34] How can I put to good use the pcspkr driver? Typing 'beep' in a Gnome terminal does not produce any output. [18:34] B-rabbit, getdeb has the latest pidgin in deb format as well [18:34] CorruptTerrorist, your just all over the place [18:34] hello, i have a lot of jpeg-files and want to make a animation of it, with animate *.jpeg.. but then the video runs too fast, i want to make, that every pic is ~ a half second to see, how to do? [18:34] Cpudan80, Jack_Sparrow, neverblue erm...cause i am using ubuntu feasty and it hasn't got it in the repoes...i searched it with the "apt-cache search pidgin" but it wasn't there :( [18:34] If you click available [18:34] you can type a message [18:34] if thats what you mean [18:34] Squawk: i will go and try connecting the two ubuntu. i only have one cable so i exit the internet until then bye [18:34] neverblue, what? [18:34] B-rabbit, there are .debs for it online, let me grab you the link [18:34] Jack_Sparrow, evaluate a bit more plz [18:34] http://getdeb.net/ [18:34] neverblue, thnx a million [18:35] Jack_Sparrow, thnak you [18:35] anyone here use LVM? I've just done resize2fs to reduced size of a filesystem in a partition and now I need to reduce the partition itself. I need to make sure that I don't lvreduce it less than the length of the filesystem (which is now 70778880 (4k) blocks.) Thing is, lvreduce works in logical extents while resize2fs works in blocks. [18:35] i'm trying to load the 7.10 64bit installation and i see a blinking cursor and "kernel alive \\ kernel direct mapping tables up to 140000000 @ 8000-e000" [18:35] Hey guys, thought you might be able to help me with this, Sound recorder won't allow me to use alsa as an input, Only OSS. I need to force it to use alsa.

[18:37] B-rabbit: No, you need to download the .debs and double click on them. [18:37] ok [18:37] let me [18:38] !deb [18:38] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu.

[18:51] LupusNox: httpd.conf [18:51] actually jack.. even flash. .i cant view... [18:51] Tried 915resolution to no effect. [18:51] JasonWoof, i want to connect two ubuntu computers. one of the don't have video card nor monitor (hw failure) and i need to do it blind. i want an ethernet connection and ssh from the working comp to see what's going on. can you help?

[18:52] I have tried editing xorg.conf also. === naxa is now known as naxaa [18:52] wolfman2323, exactly, I could not do any videos including flash, avi, mpg.. nada, zilch nothing [18:52] naxa: sure, /msg me when you get setup with nickserv [18:52] Anybody can help? === roddersg_ is now known as nictimju [18:52] InsClusoe, desktop of laptop [18:52] or [18:52] laptop [18:52] <[g2]> naxaa: does the broken computer have a serial port ? [18:53] jack: is there any way to undo the updates [18:53] nope [18:53] :( [18:53] [g2], well, it's a modern laptop so i think no [18:53] I unplugged all of my hard drives, put the sata dvd drive in slot 1 and this cd still won't boot! Any ideas? [18:53] [g2], only usb [18:53] naxa what are you trying to do? revive the mobo? why not move the hd disk over? [18:54] <[g2]> naxaa: got a usb-serial adapter ? [18:54] Jack_Sparrow: I am on a dell with 15" widescreen. [18:54] amenado, I want to see information about what went wrong and investigate further, maybe flashing video bios.. [18:54] My USB TV card works in Hardy, but not Gusty. Any idea how I can get it to work on Gusty? [18:54] [g2], no, i only have an ethernet cable. :( [18:54] chazco: maybe install a hardy kernel on gutsy? [18:54] InsClusoe, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is where I would start, specifically try to autodetect monitor rates.. just as important as the video card info [18:54] naxaa-> but you said you have hw failures, you know which hw failed? [18:54] chazco: I did that a while back because gutsy kernel didn't work well on my laptop [18:54] jack_sparrow : dpkg --get-selections gives me a list of all i have, i want a way to recreate the debs, can this be done? [18:55] Sounds like an interesting idea [18:55] Although im fairly certain its just a module i need [18:55] amenado, video gpu i think [18:55] i can use the middle mouse button to scroll up/down in a Thunderbird message, but can't in Firefox. why? [18:55] ok [18:55] i see. it's "autoscrolling" [18:55] noroot, The debs should still be in var/cache/apt/archives.. unlkess you purged them [18:55] how can i terminate xserver? not restart it === kaminix is now known as kaminix|fool [18:56] amenado, also i think the hdd is not compatible with my working laptop which is too old for that [18:56] naxaa-> am not trying to crush your hopes, but once you even find out that the gpu is bad, you almost have to replace the whole laptop mobo? [18:56] JasonWoof: and if that file happened to be blank before I put some of my custom config lines in it? [18:56] jack_sparrow : maybe i have. but i have seen they are not thr (not all). so any other way?? [18:56] ctrl+alt+backspace [18:56] amenado, i know that.. [18:56] kaudio, that RESTARTS [18:57] read the wuestion [18:57] Jack_Sparrow: Should I turn on kernel framebuffer device interface? [18:57] *question [18:57] How do I use Xephyr to get a new login in a window, similar to gdmflexiserver --xnest [18:57] not just kill the xserver [18:57] noroot, No good solution.. you would not want to repackage all of that yourself [18:57] InsClusoe, try no first [18:57] naxaa-> so am not sure it is worthwhile. maybe you can buy a usb to laptop hd adapter, and insert the hd from that bad laptop into this adapter and you can then mount it to a working unit (laptop or desktop) [18:57] Jack_Sparrow: ok.. Thanks. [18:57] CorruptTerrorist, stop gdm before doing that... sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop, that may work [18:58] thats what i need to do... kill xserver [18:58] Hi, could anyone explain what does line: Feb 27 20:57:33 priit kernel: [218147.480000] Outbound IN= OUT=ra1 SRC=192.168.5.100 DST=64.233.183.19 LEN=44 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=14972 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=59555 DPT=443 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 mean?

I'm a bit confused [19:01] yeah, was looking thru the other conf files to try and find a reference [19:01] wolfman2323, No.. envy is never a good idea [19:01] !envy | wolfman2323 [19:01] wolfman2323: envy is not needed or supported.

[19:02] CorruptTerrorist, stopping gdm then doing ctrl+alt+backspace didn't do it?

[19:03] CorruptTerrorist, ctrl+alt+backspace kills the current x server, but if gdm is still running, it start a new one iirc [19:03] amenado: Yeah, I saw that too. What that article seems to be doing is creating a display and hooking x clients into it, but I what I want is an entire login session [19:03] wolfman2323, I was looking to you for the answer... I tried reinstalling flash thinking it was just flash, then I assumed it was my video drivers, I think I tried those and idnt get anyhwere. Had to get some work done and at that point restored from backup [19:03] Jack_Sparrow: It worked! Man, thanks a lot... [19:03] wolfman2323 how did you install your nvidia drivers originally? [19:04] InsClusoe, Glad to help [19:04] Jack_Sparrow: The display is razpr sharp now... cool.. [19:04] weex.. coz... .. it happened after i updated my system.. [19:04] InsClusoe, remember that command [19:04] CorruptTerrorist: I think you have to change the current runlevel. [19:04] mastershrak: nope.. [19:04] Jack_Sparrow: Yup. I do. [19:04] People, I need to rest. Play nice, good luck [19:05] jack.. thanks.. [19:05] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks again.. Bye. [19:05] CorruptTerrorist: Try sudo init3 [19:05] or sudo init2 [19:05] wolfman2323 so you havent installed nvidia drivers? even before it was broken? [19:05] jmdc i believe the Xnest allows you to have a windows in windows like pic in pip on a tv..the second pic umm not sure if it has to give you a login prompt since you are nesting it [19:06] master.. i really dont know. coz. it was working properly.. i mean. when ive installed ubuntu in my lenovo laptop [19:06] ArthurArchnix, will do... need to eat first [19:07] wolfman2323 try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx-new [19:07] brb master. let me try it. [19:07] wolfman2323 if that throws and error at you do: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [19:07] is it possible to start the wireless network from boot, instead of when I log in? [19:08] master: Package `nvidia-glx-new' is not installed and no info is available. [19:08] Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, [19:08] and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. [19:08] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: nvidia-glx-new is not installed [19:08] ok i asked this the other day but it still has not been resolved. when i use the internet for i while i lose connectivity and when i try to ping google i get: connect: No buffer space available [19:09] I'm trying to use xephyr instead of xnest. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/73931 [19:09] wolfman2323 all you had to do was tell me that it isnt installed, use that second command i gave you [19:09] Does anyone know the command to access the power management module? [19:09] oopsss.. sorry [19:09] Khamael-> yes, auto wlan0 (assuming wlan0 is the nic) would start it at boot ...see your /etc/network/interfaces [19:10] np wolfman2323, but please be careful of flooding the channel, ops dont like :) [19:10] master.. im just a newbie.. sorry again [19:10] sorrryyyyyyy [19:10] np = no problem [19:10] khamel You could setup the connection manually, then pass a command like ifup eth1 in /etc/rc.local [19:10] just be careful, id hate to see you get kicked and even more frustrated :) [19:10] masterShark: its installing.. [19:10] good [19:11] hmm.. amenado' solution looks nicer Khamael [19:11] Estesark: gnome-power-manager is the tray icon, gnome-power-preferences is the configuration [19:11] amenado: what about the wep-key? [19:11] jmdc: Thanks [19:11] Khamael i think network manager takes care of that, but i could be wrong [19:12] Bonjour, je suis nouveau dans la communauté de ubuntu je vous remercie de votre aide [19:12] !fr | Archidiable [19:12] Archidiable: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [19:12] MasterShrak: after that.. vids.. will work?? [19:12] Khamael-> same file to modify, i just dont know off hand the verbage of the line entry for keys... [19:12] okok [19:12] HELLO ! [19:12] Anyone have a shortlist of typical boot problems? LiveCD takes 10-15 minutes to boot. === lapmag_ is now known as LapMag [19:12] Khamael-> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs look here for tips [19:13] I have mo problems [19:13] no [19:13] wolfman2323 sorry but i was unaware that you were having problems with videos, i followed your link earlier and assumed it was a problem with your nvidia card, this should help tho for vids although you may need some codecs and stuff [19:13] !caps | perezd_ [19:13] perezd_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [19:13] lapmag thats possible, if you got a really slow system, slow cdrom drive, like on an emachine [19:13] Q6700, 4GB of ram, SATA dvdrw [19:13] Yes, maybe thats the problem [19:14] jmdc: The reason I asked was because I couldn't load the preferences dialog, and I wanted to see what the terminal output was. I get a few lines ending in "** (gnome-power-preferences:18483): WARNING **: Either HAL or DBUS are not working!" - this means nothing to me, do you have any ideas? [19:14] 4GB RAM, no problem so [19:14] here you go Khamael: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188&highlight=configure+wireless+manually it tells you how to configure wireless manually, and how to add to rc.local to bring it up at boot, wep and wpa. And for the record, wep is useless, use wpa. [19:14] MasterShrak: what had happened is that.. after i updated ubuntu... suddenly videos doesnt work anymoere.. even flash.. [19:15] wolfman2323 interesting, that post on the forums has nothign to do with that though. are you running gutsy? (7.10) [19:15] Have U the codecs? [19:15] LapMag-> umm...one heck of a system you got, quad and 4gig..not sure if liveCD can find the correct drivers to match your super high speed setup [19:15] LapMag id give the alternate cd a shot [19:15] !alternate | LapMag [19:15] LapMag: 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 [19:15] master: ive just searched.. google and.. the same problem as the post.. .. yesh. gutsy [19:15] awesome. thanks. [19:15] Estesark: HAL does hardware abstraction and DBUS handles communication between programs. Both are pretty important, and it sounds like (at least) one of them is having a problem [19:16] wolfman2323 have you added the medibuntu repositories? [19:16] jmdc: Thanks, any advice on what I might do from here? [19:16] Estesark do: ps -e | grep dbus [19:16] and: ps -e | grep hal [19:16] and see which or if both do not give you output [19:16] I have 256MB RAM and boot is in 2 minutes [19:16] Nope master.. installation is done.. wait.. let me check my videos.. brb m [19:16] ouch [19:17] how to burn image specifying book type? (i burning to dvd-rw but want to specify book type of dvd-rom) [19:17] wolfman2323 youll have to restart your xserver so the changes will take effect (ctrl+alt+backspace) and log back in [19:17] whats the script that runs when you switch from wireless to wirednetwork? [19:17] MasterShrak: Both give me output, here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d68fb58d3 [19:17] P2502 using which dvd burner software? [19:17] k [19:18] I need to wrap a script with it. [19:18] masterShrak: i have vids already.. yehey!! thanks.. but no sound... [19:18] beautifulsnow: i will use software which you recommend [19:18] :) [19:18] Estesark well it appears they are both running, its possible this user cannot access one or the other though [19:18] brb [19:18] wolfman2323 grats [19:19] I have no sound on 7.10 !!! [19:19] MasterShrak: Here's the full output from gnome-power-preferences, don't know if this is of any use: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2872d2e8 [19:19] !sound | perezd_ [19:19] perezd_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [19:19] masterShrak.. i dont have sound... [19:19] Thanks, i will try [19:21] masterShrak: ive tried to play an mp3.. its working.. .. only vids doesnt hav sound [19:21] slashzul, you can add scripts to /etc/network/if-up.d and if-down.d if that helps... i believe they are passed variables that indicate which interface is being acted upon [19:21] Estesark im not sure exactly, but im guessing it has to do with hal and not dbus [19:21] wolfman2323 what player are you using for your videos? [19:21] MasterShrak: So assuming the problem is that I cannot access hal as you think, what would you suggest? [19:22] totem [19:22] Estesark possibly, its hard to say really what the problem is though, im not very familiar with the working of hal (or dbus either for that matter) [19:22] Error: w32codecs depends on libstdc++5 But when I try and install that, I get "libstdc++5: Depends: gcc-3.3-base (>= 1:3.3.6-15ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed:... what's going on here? I've never had this kind of problem with medibuntu before... [19:22] hallo? [19:23] wolfman2323 i would suggest trying a different player, ive never had good luck with totem [19:23] brb masterShrak [19:23] Sound works, but it seems that after closing VLC sometimes other applications can't use sound device, getting:Couldn't load driver ALSA: dsnd_pcm_open(hw:0): Device or resource busy. Any suggestions? [19:23] MasterShrak: Alright, well thanks for everything anyway, I'll ask in here another time in case someone else knows, and if not I'll try the forum. [19:23] i am new here and i need help [19:24] Sword: welcome. We're a support channel; there's no need to ask to ask :-) [19:24] What do I need to enable AGP on a mainboard with Intel 64 bit CPU and VIA chipset? [19:24] how can i install cgi on apache2?

New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [19:25] HEP85, which via chipset? [19:25] i didnt find any package like compiz [19:25] wolfman2323 system > administration > software sources and make sure the first 4 boxes are checked, then open synaptic and install gstreamer good bad and ugly [19:25] do i have to load it from somewhere else? [19:25] MasterShrak: Can I test it somehow. dmesg only says "Linux agpgart interface v0.102 (c) Dave Jones" and then nothing appears concerning agp [19:25] I just installed Linux on my system yesterday and believe I have everything up and running quite nicely, my question is how do I get sound to work? I have run the updater and everything but still not able to get sound. [19:25] masterShrak.. brb.. let me do that.. [19:26] Jowi: wait a sec [19:26] erat456, http://www.google.de/search?q=sshfs+fstab&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 if you look for a howto [19:26] HEP85 does it show up when you type: lspci in a terminal? [19:26] is Hardy Heron an LTS release? [19:26] nevermore yes it will be [19:26] Sword: in 7.10, compiz is in the universe repository [19:26] thanks [19:27] Jowi: vt8237a [19:27] so when i search for universe, its that pack that i have to install? [19:27] HEP85: what do you need agp for? [19:27] Sword - chances are you probably already have it loaded [19:27] :) [19:27] how can i install cgi on apache2? [19:27] !sources | Sword [19:27] i want those window effects [19:27] Sword: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [19:28] Sword: you don't need to search for universe [19:28] MasterShrak: No. I can't see anything concerning AGP in the output [19:28] im new to that all [19:28] ^ [19:28] HEP85 anything about ur card? [19:28] HEP85: what is the original problem? [19:29] HEP85, usually you enable the Processor Family that match, and /dev/agpgart + the suboption "VIA chipset support" for /dev/agpgart. DRI/DRM is optional but recommended (I did this on a 2.6.12 kernel though so info might have changed since then. [19:29] what's the kernel boot option (when booting the livecd) to disable DHCP? [19:29] MasterShrak: it is the onboard chip p4m900. It should support AGP [19:30] masterShrak.. installed already.. but still doesnt have sounds.... when ive tried.. playing dvd movie.. sounds is fine.. but 3gps no sound ... [19:30] Sword: Actually, I lied, in 7.10 the package has been moved out of universe [19:30] Jowi: I have no file /dev/agpgart [19:30] How do I change the outline of tabs etc... they're too blocky [19:30] Sword - in a terminal you can type the following - dpkg-query -s compiz - that should tell you if compiz is already installed on your system [19:30] so what do i have to do then [19:30] ? [19:30] wolfman2323 im guessing youll need some codecs for it [19:30] ok ill try [19:30] HEP85, it should be under "character devices" [19:30] !medibuntu | wolfman2323 [19:30] wolfman2323: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:30] wols: Problem is that I have no AGP and maybe I am paranoid, but I think my video playback rate is not optimal [19:31] master.. brb..

[19:31] Wondering if someone can help me with Wine, (yes I know there's a channel but its dormant :( ) My exe's don't run, and when I try to set up drives through config, I get "err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes unable to define devicename of ...." so when I come back and try again there are no drives... :-/ [19:31] i think command line is coler but im not cool enough :) [19:31] HEP85, DRM (direct rendering manager) should also be under "character devices" [19:32] Sword: there's no shame in it [19:32] beautifulsnow fresh install of wine? [19:32] Jowi: DRM is there: /dev/dri/card0 [19:32] Sword: do you see the search button in synaptic? [19:32] HEP85, I'm talking about the kernel configurator.

But now it says theres no C drive (I think that's why it wont work)... I tried purging wine, purging my .wine directory, reinstalling fresh... nothing worked [19:33] ?

When a file/folder is ready to be renamed, after either right-clicking on it and selecting Rename or by pressing F2, it ignores all keyboard input.

[19:34] Is there any way to see what processes are accessing the soundcard? [19:34] can i post the reply i got from the terminal for searchign for compiz [19:34] ? [19:34] Sword, no, pastebin it [19:34] alumno10: heard of newer ones making problems sometimes. generaly they are good NICs and well supported [19:34] Any way to check a hard drive to see if it has any hardware faults, from an ubuntu live cd?

[19:35] syntax what do i have to choose [19:35] ? [19:35] HEP85: why do you need this agp support? [19:36] Sword - goto the system -> preferences -> appearance listing. this will pop up a config window. look at the last tab [19:36] sword - doesn't matter [19:36] i guess not then...

[19:37] wols: I think my video playback does not seem to be 100% fluent [19:37] burkmat i believe gnome-system-monitor will tell you: right click on a process and I think theres an option to see what it is using [19:37] csaba2: ps -o pid,etime / i don't remember exactly [19:37] HEP85: what driver? pastebin your Xorg.0.log [19:37] ok, I'll check it out ubotu and see if it answers my question [19:37] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57596/ [19:37] is that the link u need?

[19:50] StefanUbu: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [19:50] StefanUbu, /var/cache/apt/archives [19:50] aantn, in menu appears an option that says "select packages by task" [19:50] Jack_Sparrow: i win [19:50] aantn, then you check "lamp server" [19:50] hi guys, does anyone know of a sound player (mp3, wav, whatever) with a global keyboard shortcut to pause/continue playing from a gnome session? i need to be able to pause and resume it without switching to the player's window.

[19:52] !aptoncd | StefanUbu [19:52] StefanUbu: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [19:52] Jack_Sparrow -- maybe, dunno [19:52] i have ATI binary X.Org driver installed [19:53] that ok? [19:54] ubuntu, Just thinking that if you did you could backup existing windows to another partition so you could do a more thorough and destructive test or a fresh windows install.. [19:55] HI, anyone can help me with SAMBA VISTA-UBUNTU NETWORK? (sorry for shouting) [19:55] Hmm.. don't think I want to mess around with that sort of thing. I guess I could mount the hard drive and fsck it? That should tell me something [19:55] everytime i try installing ubuntu it stops at "retrieving libc6-udeb" [19:55] hey i just installed a 7.10 xbuuntu command line system everything works great but is there anyway to change the console font? [19:55] anyone have an idea as to why? [19:56] evil_tech, did you md5 or self test the cd? [19:56] re [19:56] sorrowsbitch - if you want to connect your ubuntu box to your windows machine you can use the smbmount command. smbmount is part of the smbfs package so do an sudo apt-get smbfs. you can then connect by doing a command like - smbmount //server/share_folder /mountpoint [19:56] evil_tech, is that on the initial install from the livecd? [19:56] the live cd wont boot doesnt like my raid [19:56] sorrowsbitch - patience i type sloooooooowww [19:56] evil_tech, i had a similar problem and it turned out to be overheating my ram [19:56] and yes the cd drive works [19:56] nathan-thomas, i believe if you install console-tools and console-data you'll be able to do that [19:57] ok ill try that, thanks [19:57] and yes the image is good (md5 sum verified and ran the verification tool) [19:57] danand: sure, I will wait [19:57] hmm overheating ram [19:57] sorrowsbitch, you can run a samba server on your ubuntu machine, add an account for a user samba maybe to use it, and then supply your ubuntu ip address as the "wins server" in vista. Should then be able to see the samba directory as a "network directory". I have used that in windows xp, dunno bout in vista but should work [19:58] sorrowsbitch - did you get the message above about smbfs? [19:58] doubtful there there is 4 80mm fans blowing air accross the sticks [19:58] evil_tech, One trick I have used is to disconnect from the network while installing... then let it update and finish after install [19:58] evil_tech, well, not the ram specifically...but my case temperature was way too high. i needed better cooling and since achieving that everything worked. [19:58] no network connection right now [19:59] are theyre any fairly advance linux folk on here or any developers right now that can give me some help with what is apparently a serious prob im having [19:59] danand - i got your messages.. I have also an xp on the network which works fine. also vista can see ubuntu, but not the other way around [19:59] hoarycripple: i dont think it is overheating in my case. it boots knoppix fine and it was running folding@home [19:59] evil_tech, probably not then. [19:59] and according to the temp censor its less than 75 degrees in the case [19:59] what is hibernation? [19:59] hello I have a question, I want to remaster ubuntu 7.10 and disable compiz by default, how do I do that? I only have a terminal though [20:00] weeman13221: um well the devs dont know everything. they each have their area of expertise. youre better off telling the channel what the problem is so someone who knows about it can chime in [20:00] evil_tech, without any further error messages, I don't know how to help [20:00] sorrowsbitch - ok then i'm outa ideas - maybe an issue with vista? [20:00] weeman13221, just ask your question [20:00] macogw: segmentation error when i do apt-get -f [20:00] Sword: contents of memory are written to disk and computer turns off. when you turn it on, it reloads your session from the disk so all your stuff's still going === LupusNox_ is now known as LupusNox [20:01] do i need that?0 [20:01] wonder if its something to do with it being a scsi drive?

[20:25] VartanS: yes, sorry, I meant remount read-only [20:25] sudobash: "I am what I am because of who we all are" [20:25] ubuntu is A Zulu word, literally meaning “humanness.” Ubuntu is a social and spiritual philosophy serving as a framework for African society [20:25] technow_, "man nice", though I think its just nice level app === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [20:25] ubuntu means accepting who you are for what you are while realizing that you are what you are and others are what they are or something like that [20:25] VartanS: so it could be your hard drive failing (hope not), or it could just be some USB comms problem. [20:25] Hitman: is it possible that there are 2 drivers enabled that cant run togehter? [20:25] in a tar . gz there's a folder , i've extract it and there is a file config.ini .... must i run it on the terminal ? how can i do it ? [20:25] hell yeah I like Ubuntu even more now.. Thanks jmdc [20:26] lollo_: whats in the file? [20:26] is it norma for GParted to take 5+ minutes to finish looking for devices? [20:26] Sword, why do you think that the drivers aren't working? [20:26] soundray: The hard drive is brand new and I had it tested, and the USB connection works fine in Windows Vista and never goes down [20:26] prince_jammys: I thought it was ancient African for "I can't get Debian installed" [20:26] hello all [20:26] Muffy: the dev node should be something like /dev/md** (cat /proc/mdstat should list them iirc) [20:26] prince_jammys: i am who i am because of who we all are [20:26] ah [20:26] prince_jammys: i think thats the usual way its phrased if youre using that definition [20:26] VartanS: okay, I must be wrong then [20:26] "linux for human beings" , as opposed to freaks [20:26] in the file there is config.ini - streamerone ( if i double clik on it it goes to the browser) and other 2 folders, data and another one macogw [20:26] having big issues with my Video Card Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS AGP card and Gutsy - any help? [20:27] soundray: that's hilarious [20:27] Hitman: whe i try to activate the visual effects under gnome.. is sais they dont work [20:27] lollo_: whats in config.ini? [20:27] Hitman: already restarted ubuntu [20:27] i get an error with xbacklight "no outputs have backlight property" [20:27] I have actually got a lot of people to move to Ubuntu instead of window... People with Windows on their HD and the cdrom is spinning constantly... [20:27] prince_jammys: if by freaks you meant those awful bearded slackware people, then yes [20:27] VartanS, proabably some usb event is making ubuntu think there is a problem. As for what that might be, I have no clue [20:27] ok [20:27] i don't know macogw i don't know how to run it ! [20:27] Squawk: Is there any utility available to help me determine the problem? :) [20:27] lollo_: just look at the contents in a text editor [20:27] hey has anyone here been able to beat GnuChess? [20:27] lollo_, you want to run something that you dont know what it is? [20:28] hello everyone:) [20:28] Hitman: i want those beryl like effects [20:28] Sword, did you read the release notes and run the 'aticonfig --initial' command? [20:28] keep getting this on my cd drive: ide: failed opcode was: unknown\ hda: drive not ready for command\ hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }. then the disc inside the drive fails to mount at bootup. it does not always happen. any idea what may be causing this? [20:28] erUSUL: it doesn't. But I don't have the disk in with which I made the RAID ( and which has the fstab), so it shouldn't be able to recognise it, right? [20:28] Squawk it's the program for coolstraaming, streamerone [20:28] mheeee gparted finished [20:28] Rsync_: i've beat glchess, haven't played gnuchess [20:28] lollo_: is there a readme file in there? [20:28] VartanS: just a little hint: when you're in Windows, with your setup, you're not running an OS via USB [20:28] VartanS, fraid I have no clue, I am just suggesting what the problem might be based on symptoms described, but I have no clue how to actualy fix/diagnose it properly [20:29] Sword, I assume not, you have to run that under sudo, and that will reconfigure X for your ATI card [20:29] yes macogw i'm reading config.ini thx [20:29] Hitman: you have a link [20:29] buh GParted says my SATA drives from the raid are 100% unallocated :/ [20:29] Squawk, soundray: Thank you both very, very much for your help. I will see what I can find out with your advice [20:29] Sorry, cannot currently work without pthreads [20:29] how can I fix that one? [20:29] anyone able to help with wireless [20:29] trying to compile [20:29] how can i set acpi=off [20:29] anyone good with Nvidia cards?

[21:09] yoyoyoyo1: x [21:09] simplexio: it's not a livecd [21:09] DrFooMod2: ohh hmm vmware image....thats different from iso image. dunno that user's. it might be an oem-style install where you select htat on first boot [21:09] DrFooMod2: failing that, boot in recovery mode and look it up (probably easiest with ls /home) [21:09] How many lines of code are in Ubuntu?

[21:31] is it possible to ssh into a computer that is using the same wireless connection? [21:31] DaveEngland - i sympathise. I spent two weeks getting wireless to work in Debian. Why not buy another supported card.... i know its not ideal but maybe worth the $$$ for less agro! [21:31] Mic__hae1: of course [21:31] simplexio: it says unable to connect to host. connection refused. it works on windows, however.. it just needs to use ssh? does vncviewer not? do i have to connect via my terminal to the server first, and then use vncviewer?

[21:39] DaveEngland: yes [21:39] Also, df00z, what would you use? [21:39] Itaku: er i mean "chroot /media/disk" or whatever it is [21:39] And why is dbus a clusterfuck? [21:39] KRF: thanks! [21:39] chroot: cannot change root directory to /dev/sda1: Not a directory [21:39] soundray, where are you from? [21:39] Itaku: wherever it mounted. and no, live cds make you root [21:39] Because, it gets confused if I start playing with my network settings in network manager [21:39] Itaku: as root, you dont get asked for the old password [21:39] ltaku, mount first [21:39] Hello I need help setting up my first samba share [21:39] i had to cycle dbus, network manager, and pretty much everything [21:39] ok [21:40] lemme try [21:40] Itaku: sudo mount /somedirectory /dev/sda1 [21:40] and then your disk is in /somedirectory [21:40] DaveEngland: this is offtopic here. I asked you because I was wondering whether I should point you to a German ebay auction. [21:40] and dbus is becoming so integrated into gnome probably gnome will have to be restarted at some point when dbus/networkmanager twigs out [21:40] which it does. constantly. if i touch ANYTHING [21:40] anything that uses dbus [21:40] its driving me nuts :( [21:40] df00z: I've never had any issues with dbus screwing up when I muck around with it.

[21:57] i want ot make diagrams [21:57] dia [21:57] ah, that's the one [21:57] y do repositories have nonworking apps?!?!?! devede doesnt work right.... [21:58] thanks [21:58] !ask im having problems with sounds: it sounds choppy all time since teh moment ubuntu begins, i have audigy se 7.1 tried new alsa drivers but problem is still there [21:58] cin, openoffice draw [21:58] hi [21:58] _Oz_-> sudo network-admin [21:58] im having problems with sounds: it sounds choppy all time since teh moment ubuntu begins, i have audigy se 7.1 tried new alsa drivers but problem is still there [21:58] vlad, you don't have to precede your question with !ask. Have you tried to use the sound drivers from the alsa website or those from the ubuntu repository? [21:58] Hi, I Have a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop running Ubuntu 7.10 sometimes, without warning it stops working, shutdowns in a second not safely (windows xp works perfectly without such a problem on the laptop), i have no idea what to look for (it happens when both it's in the power outlet and without) [21:58] Can anyone help me with FeOS Ubuntu? [21:59] yes hischild i tried new alsa drivers [21:59] im in ubunt 7.1, and everytime i reboot the laptop in order to get sound working i must: sudo chmod a+rw /dev/dsp [21:59] I install into my Vmware, but when it loads It drops me into Busybox instead of bash [21:59] no luck with that :( [21:59] how do i fix that? [21:59] <_Oz_> that's not it, amenado [22:00] vlad, ok. Have you checked if you have the same problem when you go to system -> preferences -> sound and then click on test? [22:00] DB42: Did you check your power management options to make sure it's not set to like suspend during inactivity? [22:00] _Oz_-> if that is not it, i dont know what network manager you are referring to.. [22:00] yes df00z i tried that and all sounds choppy [22:00] <_Oz_> amenado: I'm probably doing something wrong then. this is very frustrating [22:01] df00z: it happens when i am VERY active on the computer (like doing apt-get, browsing the net, etc...) [22:01] a song, a movie or video online [22:01] _Oz_: are you talking about the network manager in the corner? [22:01] _Oz_-> give up then :P [22:01] i mean hischild [22:01] df00z: and it doesn't suspend, it stops working [22:01] simplexio: no advise is better than bad advise... the cdrom is mounted plain visible in /cdrom, nothing hidden about it [22:01] amenado: i think he's looking for the network manager applet [22:02] _Oz_: top right corner, in the notification area, there should be two computer monitors or some bars for wifi, or just a plug or something [22:02] vlad: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/dsp Should produce static, is the static choppy? [22:02] macogw-> sudo network-admin that does it..but he said no [22:02] DB42: That's friggen weird. Anything in the system logs in /var/log ? [22:02] amenado: thats not network manager [22:02] brb df00z [22:02] macogw-> what is that? [22:02] going to try that [22:02] amenado: network admin [22:03] <_Oz_> macogw: yes, I see it [22:03] <_Oz_> but when I click on it, what I expect to happen does not happen [22:03] i'm having a problem installing the nvidia drivers... [22:03] amenado: network manager is a daemon that uses dbus to handle connections combined with an applet for either gnome or kde depending on which you use [22:03] <_Oz_> I am following this tutorial: [22:03] <_Oz_> http://adventuresinswitching.blogspot.com/2007/12/ubuntu-and-microsoft-vpn-setup-or-how-i.html [22:03] macogw and that does not do the network management? [22:03] http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s26/joethecomputer/00001-1.jpg [22:03] I am trying to install codeblocks on my box, I have succeded in doing so, but now that I have it installed, everytime I run synaptic or apt-get, it complains about codeblocks baing broken, and I can't proceed, unless I remove codeblocks completely. [22:03] codeblocks is a C++ IDE [22:03] <_Oz_> it says that when I click on the network manager icon that I can create a new vpn connection [22:03] <_Oz_> but I see no way to do that [22:03] df00z nop [22:03] hi guys, i'm encoding stuff using abcde do you know if its inserts a 2 second gap by default? [22:04] _Oz_: did you install network-manager-pptp? [22:04] can anyone help me with something? in pvt pls? [22:04] _Oz_: or network-manager-vpnc? [22:04] _Oz_: those arent included [22:04] <_Oz_> let me check [22:04] macogw-> did you ever run the program i pasted? [22:04] werneck: so that initrd modify was easy.. [22:04] Hey, it's been a while since I've done a dual-monitor set up with xinerama... Is there an easier way to do it now, rather than muddling around with my xorg.conf ? [22:04] amenado: yes. thats not network manager. [22:04] werneck: joy of linux, there is allways another way to do it [22:05] I am trying to install codeblocks on my box, I have succeded in doing so, but now that I have it installed, everytime I run synaptic or apt-get, it complains about codeblocks baing broken, and I can't proceed, unless I remove codeblocks completely. [22:05] to make devede not output soundless video image, i need to downgrade mencoder/mplayer how do i do that? [22:05] simplexio: no modify was needed, you were just wrong... be careful next time [22:05] amenado: network manager does roaming. if you set in network admin for the interface to be unconfigured or roaming or whatever they call it now, it gives up power and network manager takes over [22:05] <_Oz_> macogw: yes, network-manager-pptp is installed [22:05] can some please tell me what I am doing wrong? [22:05] werneck: so it wasa allready mounted ? [22:05] soussou, what's the problem [22:05] I've just booted gutsy for the first time after converting from FC6. I have no gnome menus / icons. What is the magic phrase to put into terminal to fix this? ( And where do I look for the specific syntax myself, next time? ) [22:05] can you suggest some wiki-pad like Zim but that have some more futures and less bugs? [22:05] DB42: do you have any thermal events set up in bios? Like, can you tell the computer temperatures? It's theoretically possible than some fan control is not working in linux [22:05] macogw-> that the same applet that pops up when one goes to System->Administration->network [22:05] _Oz_: ok i have -vpnc, so it might look different, but i see a section when i left-click it that says VPN Connections -> [22:05] I downloaded and installed intel c++, but I don't know how to run it. can anyone tell me how to do it? [22:05] werneck: so my first advice was right, mount tells it [22:06] <_Oz_> macogw: I don't see that -- should I log out and re-login? [22:06] amenado: and that's not network manager [22:06] I installed codeblocks, everything works fine, but when I run synaptic, it says codeblocks is broken [22:06] simplexio: it's mounted in /cdrom [22:06] amenado: network manager's applet is a panel applet [22:06] ok how do i report someone for hacking my computer? [22:06] I don't understand [22:06] <_Oz_> since I installed it during the current session? [22:06] amenado: nm-applet [22:06] i didnt forget my pass someone hacked it [22:06] anyone? [22:06] _Oz_: yes, probably [22:06] if it's broken, why is it running properly? [22:06] df00z: acpi -V gives me temps of 47-58 usually [22:06] but i don't know the temp when it shutdowns [22:06] simplexio: it would be if when I were in the shell, installation was finished and it was already umounted [22:06] problem with broken packages is that anytime I try using synaptic, it fails [22:06] soussou, what are you doing in synaptic when it says that [22:06] !dual display [22:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about dual display - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:06] how do i downgrade stuff in ubuntu?? [22:06] macogw nothing in nm-applet i can set, so am not sure what you meant by network manager..to me what i type is it [22:06] !dualhead | stormze1 [22:06] stormze1: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [22:06] <_Oz_> macogw: rebooting, brb [22:06] I removed codeblocks [22:07] apparently no1 knows so were can i find out?? [22:07] utkan0s: I did remove codeblocks [22:07] I downloaded and installed intel c++, but I don't know how to run it. can anyone tell me how to do it? I'm new to linux. [22:07] what's there to do? [22:07] That works, thanks, DRebellion. :) [22:07] amenado: its not for static configurations. its for roaming [22:07] how do i report someone for hacking my computer? [22:07] amenado: the most setting you do is clicking it and choosing which wireless network you want to connect to [22:07] soussou, when you attempt to reinstall it with synaptic what happens [22:07] macogw did you look at the settings on those, it does allow you to click roaming [22:07] macogw, let's not forget at entering a password ;-) [22:07] hmm, I cant manually mount my USB flash drive, says invalid type, even though In windows it reads it fine [22:07] Itaku, secure your machine [22:07] no i want to report someone [22:07] amenado: if you set network admin to roaming, it gives up power. network manager takes over. [22:08] I didn't attempt to reinstall it, but anytime I start synaptic, it complains about codeblocks [22:08] Itaku, your isp, the policie [22:08] Itaku, for what, and who would care? [22:08] they hacked through my firewall and all [22:08] crow, you cant run c++. but you can compile and run programs written in c++ [22:08] k [22:08] and the how-to I followed is in the forums [22:08] thanks KRF [22:08] amenado: network admin is horribly useless for wireless because you need to already know the ESSID. it cant scan and show you a list. and it doesnt do wpa [22:08] macogw ahh okay..not sure if it would help though...useless piece of app to me [22:08] crow, google about c++ [22:08] macogw sure it does, you click on the settings [22:08] Isn't there a graphical tool for configuring multiple monitors? [22:08] amenado: they added WPA at some point? [22:09] stormze1: displayconfig-gtk [22:09] stormze1: it sucks [22:09] i need help to configure my webcam [22:09] Itaku, bring your machine to your local police [22:09] hello to all [22:09] stormze1: or rather, its broken / unfinished [22:09] amenado: i started using NM back during Dapper because NA cant do WPA [22:09] macogw i dont know, but i use it all the time to see all the AP around the area, and to set encryption if needed [22:09] can any one sayme one pakage with repositories like automatix???? [22:09] Is there anything similar to Visual C++ for linux [22:09] amenado: does it do wpa now or still just wep? [22:10] DB42: Check the temperature limits in bios, if possible. 58 is a touch high...if you load the PC, it should reach as hot as it's going to get within a couple minutes....really thats my only guess if it's shutting down unexpectedly...what does cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan say [22:10] crow, not really, but eclipse and mono are ok. monodevelop will break your system though [22:10] macogw-> its on the menu, wpa and wpa2 [22:10] crow: eclipse or kdevelop [22:10] it's either acpi/ibm/fan or acpi/fan [22:10] amenado: well thats new [22:10] can any one say me one pakage similar of AUTOMATIX [22:10] im in ubunt 7.1, and everytime i reboot the laptop in order to get sound working i must: sudo chmod a+rw /dev/dsp, anyone knows a solution? [22:10] soussou, have you tried this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#head-7d9acf78affa92a48849d27c6056d31e796c9a13 [22:10] thanks [22:10] df00z: no "fan" dir [22:10] utkan0s: hold on, I am checking [22:10] macogw-> im on 7.10 ..i did not notice a difference in dapper.. [22:10] interesting...not in ibm or acpi? [22:11] i mean the "fan" dir is empty [22:11] it should be a file [22:11] you can cat [22:11] fabio: medibumtu [22:11] amenado: anyway, that tool is used for static/special configurations. NM is a simple applet like the one that shows in the corner on OSX or on Windows to access wireless networks quickly [22:11] not in ibm eitheR? [22:11] that link might be jacked soussou, do a search for broken packages with contrl F in your browser [22:11] !gnome icons [22:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome icons - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:11] er, medibuntu [22:11] df00z: no "ibm" dir [22:11] see anything in /proc/acpi like lenovo [22:11] i need help with php5 [22:11] !automatix | fabio [22:11] fabio: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [22:11] Starnestommy know more??? [22:11] a directory called such [22:11] df00z: nop [22:11] Weird. [22:11] i need help to configure my webcam [22:12] macogw well on a 7.10 that nm-applet is pretty much useless. it only has enable checked or unchecked..no more options [22:12] !help pt [22:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about help pt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:12] !pt [22:12] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [22:12] amenado: have you tried *left* clicking? [22:12] df00z: the "acpi/thermal_zone/TZ00" have passive 87C ans critical 102C dont think it ever reachs there [22:12] amenado: set NA to roaming, then left click NM applet [22:13] macogw and that pops that network admin you refer to..so its the same thing as i said from the start [22:13] amenado: no it doesnt [22:13] aight ... i'm kind of stuck on this one ... my pc restarts when i try to install from the live cd before it even gets fully booted ... and the alternate just reboots halfway through the installation .. [22:13] macogw it does on mine [22:13] amenado: well if you have roaming off, it might. if you have roaming on, it doesnt [22:13] hey guys :) Just got linux for the first time ever, took me 6 hours to get it running with Vista and all the partitions T,T [22:13] looks better then i expected [22:14] db42: that's really my only guess...sorry...it sounds like something the hardware is doing, not like some power management application if it literally shuts off that quick without warning [22:14] Congratulations Wobbley [22:14] how does one reset the gnome icons and menus? [22:14] hischild: Maybe try some boot parameters like noacpi noapic [22:14] how do I run things in c++? I tried saving thing with .cpp and it's still a text file. how do I run it in c++? [22:14] my ubuntu is running rather unstable at the meoment does anyone know why and also why is amsn so ubstable [22:14] amenado: http://kirsten.urbanzone.com/blog/uploads/misc/ubuntu_network_manager.png [22:14] crow, you can't run things in C++ [22:14] you need to compile them [22:14] crow: try #c++, you'll need to compile it...gcc filename.cpp [22:14] amenado: thats what it looks like when you have your comp set to roaming mode [22:14] hi can some help me intalling moblock please? i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5059/ [22:14] quick question: is it possible to somehow force a system to boot from a usb flashdrive? i'm attempting to install ubuntu somehow onto a laptop with a borked cdrom [22:15] df00z, actually you would use g++ [22:15] acx: if it is, it'd be in bios [22:15] zgrep, will try now [22:15] Cew my amsn runs pretty stable, only that it gives bug message if i try to install mu webcam [22:15] acx, only if the bios supports it [22:15] DRebellion: Either or [22:15] gcc - GNU project C and C++ compiler per man page [22:15] ok i'd like to clarify some things. 7.10 of ubuntu uses emerald as the default window manager and NOT metacity, correct? [22:15] overlow: mine doesnt mines horrid and wont let me see webcam [22:15] damn :/ would it be possible to somehow install ubuntu off an already working Linux installation? [22:15] Ok... wow.. super weird I was messing around with my icons, then the screen froze up. So I restarted x, but gnome was acting funny. So I rebooted, and now I can't start x. I get this error: "GARTInit: unable to open /dev/agpart" and "Fatal server error: Addscreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0" [22:15] df00z, actually you would use g++ binary for c++ [22:15] hischild: it might also help if you get rid of the quiet parameter there, then you see better what's going on... [22:15] arrrghhh: wrong [22:16] arrrghhh: it uses compiz if your comp supports it [22:16] zgrep, removed both splash and quiet yes [22:16] I've already ran dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:16] acx, sounds plausible [22:16] no good. [22:16] macogw i got you..but it is not different than using network admin as you call it [22:16] arrrghhh: emerald is not a window manager. it is a window decorator for compiz. [22:16] DRebellion: ok sorry, heh. I'm a java guy now myself [22:16] zgrep, i'm going to assume that a list of buffer i/o error on device fd0 etc isn't supposed to be there right? [22:16] is anybody here using icons from tango generator? [22:16] i guess i will have to figure it out somehow, thanks. [22:16] but i have problems with firefox, it's quite unstable [22:16] hi can some help me intalling moblock please? i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5059/ [22:16] arrrghhh: there's also gtk-window-decorator that lets compiz use metacity themes [22:17] hischild: Do you have a floppy at all? [22:17] macogw, ok, i have a computer that doesn't support compiz. and it's turned off completely. the title bars from all windows disappear. i found a fix (from this room) "metacity --replace" fixes it. but it doesn't stick after reboot. [22:17] overlow: yes its really anooying [22:17] how are people going to use linux when its appls are less stable than windows [22:17] Cew27: that's not true necessarily [22:18] zgrep, nope [22:18] anyone here got a spare moment to help a first time linux user with 2 questions? [22:18] arrrghhh: check system -> pref -> sessions and make sure its not trying to run compiz [22:18] df00z: well amsn. firefox and ubuntu in general has become increasingly unstable for me [22:18] how do i install perl for apache2? [22:18] zgrep, wait ... [22:18] !webcam > Cew27 (please read message from bot) [22:18] hischild: then I would tend to ignore it... [22:18] macogw, ok hold on... [22:18] zgrep, darn ... :( still reboot ... just when it was supposed to launch x [22:18] well they are pretty much more stable atleast mine are, only firefox is unstable [22:18] Is this the right channel for a noob question? [22:18] Cew27-> you have been watching pr0n? hehe [22:18] I am having difficulties renaming files with Nautilus 2.20.0. When a file/folder is ready to be renamed, after either right-clicking on it and selecting Rename or by pressing F2, it ignores all keyboard input. Thunar, Dolphin and the mv command work so it isn't some hardware problem. Can some enlightened soul help me out on this one? Please? Someone? [22:18] hischild: Try the alternate boot cd with noapic and noacpi... [22:19] Cew27: I agree with firefox sucking in ubuntu [22:19] CaptainKirk, yep [22:19] ubuntu.com [22:19] hischild: maybe it's todo with the GraphicsCard [22:19] amenado: what, how you know [22:19] i used fedora few weeks ago and there was samo problem so is current version on ff unstable or what? [22:19] About how long should the livecd take to load? [22:19] Cew27-> cauz cauz...hehe [22:19] zgrep, i'm almost certain it does ... but it runs fine with windows ... even with vista ... [22:19] Anyone able to help me with a ubuntu networking issue [22:19] amenado: elaborate [22:19] CaptainKirk, depends how fast the hardware is [22:19] whats a better alternative then firefox for ubuntu? [22:19] zgrep, the alternate one dies just after configuring the resolutions for x [22:19] Bart825-> whats the issue? [22:20] Wobbley: konqueror, epiphany, or opera [22:20] Cew27-> nah, i dont have issues with using linux.. [22:20] hischild: that sounds like more analysis is required. [22:20] zgrep, o [22:20] zgrep, i'm all ears [22:20] Longer than about 10 minutes? [22:20] my interfaces seem to rename them seleves after a reboot...... [22:20] CaptainKirk, =/ Describe your symptoms/output to the channel [22:20] Wobbley: yeah like swiftfox [22:20] does moblock do almost the same as peer guardian I am still not sure [22:20] ? [22:20] anyone know how to remove a hdd bios password through ubuntu (the hdd in question is now attached as a removable drive, visible in gparted) [22:20] Bart825-> you have to look into udev..am still not grasping how it names things..but there are plenty of tutorials for those [22:21] WHO HERE AGREES THAT FIREFOX NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED ON LINUX sorry for caps [22:21] kromcuich: nope [22:21] hischild: you could try when booting from the alternate one to open another console then the installer and run a xorg --configure (think that was the parameter) [22:21] !offtopic | Cew27 [22:21] hehe [22:21] Cew27: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[22:21] I put in the livecd (64bit) and the menu comes up. I select run/install ubuntu, then the kernal loads and the screen goes black. [22:21] vlad: that's interesting... [22:21] zgrep, no problem, i'll find my way around ... though i exhausted my options thus turned to the almighty help channel [22:21] <_Oz_> macogw: still can't see "VPN connections" when I left click on the network manager icon [22:22] http://digg.com/linux_unix/The_Ubuntu_Philosophy_of_Gammamute_Being_Human_to_Humans [22:22] i have a interface for my ids, with was eth5, afetr a reboot it changed to eth2 and nothing changed in the interface file in etc [22:22] using chmod how would a make a file not writable? [22:22] _Oz_: um thats odd. idk. [22:22] CaptainKirk-> umm how long you waited? [22:22] hischild: good luck..

[22:22] php5 [22:22] using chmod how would a make a file not writable? [22:22] chmod -w [22:22] does moblock do almost the same as peer guardian? I am still not sure... [22:22] Bart825-> i gave you a clue, look into udev naming of devices [22:22] PriceChild, why are you blogging into the contents of my IRC window? [22:22] pushpop, chmod -w filename [22:22] _Oz_: try -vpnc? [22:22] monkeymutt, pardon? [22:22] <_Oz_> macogw: ok [22:22] ok i wasnt sure if anyone else had any ideas , [22:22] _Oz_: i dont know if hte PPTP one looks the same [22:23] vlad: which sound card do you use again, and which driver? [22:23] pushpop-> by whom? [22:23] _Oz_: im pretty sure -vpnc does stuff other than just cisco vpns though [22:23] audigy se 7.1, alsa driver [22:23] lsmod [22:23] which actual driver, module name [22:23] <_Oz_> macogw: there are four matches for "vpn" in add/remove, I've now installed all of them [22:23] Bart825-> its not another idea, its how ubuntu now names devices..using udev methods [22:23] 1.0.16 [22:23] I forgot which one that uses off the top of my head [22:23] _Oz_: haha [22:23] i updated and same problem [22:23] I Have a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop running Ubuntu 7.10 sometimes, without warning it stops working, shutdowns in a second not safely (windows xp works perfectly without such a problem on the laptop), i have no idea what to look for (it happens when both it's in the power outlet and without) [22:23] no, it actually has a driver name [22:23] soussou, did that solve the issue? [22:23] like snd_hda_intel [22:23] anyhow, http://pastebin.ca/921253 is my lshw\ [22:24] oh [22:24] how to check that_ [22:24] can you remote into the pc? [22:24] DB42: how much are you pushing the hardware? [22:24] i think yes [22:24] <_Oz_> rebooting again, macogw [22:24] df00z: you mean like ssh? [22:24] DB42: John the Ripper makes my laptop do that.....brute forcing passwords is hard work [22:24] Yeah SSH [22:24] macogw: not very much at all... [22:24] df00z: ok then yeah [22:24] i'm browsing the web, etc.. [22:24] how do i install perl for apache2? [22:24] and in windows xp it works ok [22:24] vlad: do so [22:24] ? [22:24] does anyone know why amsn is so unstable [22:24] DB42-> are you using wireless? [22:24] ok no worries [22:24] vlad: remote in [22:24] hey ho...letz go [22:24] amenado: yes [22:25] any suggestions on the livecd not booting? [22:25] vlad: i wanna say its the emu10k1 driver but im not 100% on that [22:25] DB42-> roaming mode? [22:25] how to check the driver? [22:25] amenado: dunno... [22:25] macogw, it doesn't look like it's trying to run compiz... i see metacity in the "current session" section... but where would i find it? [22:25] ALERTA [22:25] JollyRoger: what? === madmaxmad is now known as mad_max02 [22:25] vlad: still here? [22:26] yeah [22:26] how do I remove songs from my ipod? rhythmbox does not do it correctly. [22:26] DB42-> just speaking from experience, the network i/o fault causes my system to lock..if your wireless somehow have errors associating and get some kind of i/o errors, that will do it [22:26] arrrghhh: not current session. the startup [22:26] vlad: do a lsmod [22:26] and see which driver it uses [22:26] arrrghhh: also go to system -> pref -> appearances and make sure desktop effects is disabled [22:26] ca0106. maybe? [22:27] amenado: what do you mean lock ? my system shutdowns in a second [22:27] unsafely, doesn't lock [22:27] amenado: oh really? that could also explain my laptop then. beta wireless drivers in hardy. fun stuff. [22:27] df00z: i think this is snd_ca0106,snd_pcm [22:27] macogw, i checked the second place already, desktop effects are disabled. under startup there's just a thing that says "Visual: Autostart the preferred AT". but nothing that's close to compiz [22:27] !hardy [22:27] 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 [22:27] DB42-> at least yours shutdown, mine just frozed..no ssh can get in, no mouse nor keyboard access [22:27] amenado: shutdown bad.. dunno how to call it [22:27] DB42-> my only recourse is to press on/off switch [22:28] arrrghhh: unless you need an on-screen keyboard due to a physical disability, you can disable that [22:28] anyone know? [22:28] ompaul: i know [22:28] macogw-> yes, network i/o faults causes my system to freeze [22:28] <_Oz_> no luck macogw [22:28] vlad: yeah...ok checking mailing lists [22:28] could the livecd going to a black screen be a gfx issue or something? [22:28] ompaul: im here for helping others. im not asking for help [22:28] *Sigh* I guess nobody knows. [22:28] <_Oz_> left-clicking on network manager gives only one option [22:29] <_Oz_> "manual configuration" [22:29] thx df00z [22:29] _Oz_: O_o wtf did you do what amenado said and play with things in network-admin? if you did, put them back to all roaming [22:30] macogw, ok... but compiz isn't listed. so i just want the "metacity --replace" setting to stick after a reboot, because after i rebooted the titlebars disappeared again. [22:30] does anyone know of an app that functions like AWN, or objectdock that functions just as a launcher by itself? [22:30] i mean when i used AWN, it put up icons of the apps i was running [22:30] i need help to configure my webcam [22:30] i'm looking for something that'll serve more as a launcher [22:30] can anyone help me? i need to install perl on apache2 [22:30] GnomeDO prasanna [22:31] arrrghhh: could add "metacity --replace" to the startup i suppose [22:31] hi [22:31] perfect, thanks pharaoh [22:31] atleast i think that's what it is called [22:31] <_Oz_> macogw: how do I play with things in network-admin? [22:31] <_Oz_> it's hopeless [22:31] <_Oz_> one cannot VPN from ubuntu to a windows machine [22:31] macogw, i guess... i'd really rather know what the underlying problem is, and why that fixes it. [22:31] _Oz_: then how am i on my school's network? [22:31] who know what does it mean key super [22:31] arrrghhh: compiz is finding a way to run. you could just uninstall it [22:31] is any one using a dell inspiron e1705 [22:31] for example super+s [22:32] SIN_AS: apple, window, sun, tux, ubuntu logo, etc. [22:32] SIN_AS, windows key [22:32] macogw, i thought it was integrated into 7.10... can i just uninstall with synaptic? [22:32] omg... this is so messed. No network so I can't reinstall. [22:32] prasanna, http://do.davebsd.com/ [22:32] arrrghhh: yeah [22:32] What the heck happened to my system? [22:32] hischild, thanks :-) [22:33] <_Oz_> macogw: some kind of magic that I cannot understand [22:33] Good evening everybody. [22:33] hmmmm [22:33] _Oz_: run "network-admin" again like amenado said to, and hit the "unlock" button [22:33] pharaoh from the screenshots they look rather big icons [22:33] _Oz_: make sure theyre all set to "roaming" [22:33] Mouse wheel now copy pastes.....before it used to let me scroll up and down pages by clicking once and a circle with arrows appears [22:33] is there anyway we can get them floating smaller at the bottom of the screen [22:33] how do I remove songs from my ipod? rhythmbox does not do it correctly. [22:33] Any isea why this is happening now? [22:33] similar to that of AWN's set up? [22:33] I guess I'll reinstall tomorrow. It's too late to do it tonight. [22:33] kikr: I use floola i think its good for ipod [22:34] thanks [22:34] mmm, try it out, if you don't like it remove it [22:34] http://dengpeng.name/upload/images/screenshot-awn.png [22:34] something like that [22:34] I have a live cd ubuntu 6.06 ... is it possible to make a minimal install with it, such as for example install without gnome and other apps. ? [22:34] rhythm doesn't work correctly [22:34] Does anyone around own a HP notebook with the QuickPlay "feature"? [22:34] Housefly7k: thats the windows way. on all unix systems, highlight is copy and middle click is paste. [22:34] vlad: from what im reading, the card works properly in 48000hz mode, but chops in 44.1 [22:34] yes celoserpa [22:35] Pharaoh, thanks god! Hello! [22:35] only works in windows, if that's ur question [22:35] how can i change that df00z? [22:35] Pharaoh, No, this is not the question actually [22:35] Pharaoh, Does your computer turn on when you touch the quickplay buttons? [22:35] macogw: yeah i know,but in firefox i could swear i have always been using it this way in ubuntu... because i never see the error in firefox before [22:35] nope [22:35] Pharaoh, what's the model of your laptop? [22:35] Housefly7k: ive never been able to O_o [22:36] dv9000t [22:36] im in ubunt 7.1, and everytime i reboot the laptop in order to get sound working i must: sudo chmod a+rw /dev/dsp, why it wont fix the permisiion? [22:36] Hi everybody, I wrote I freeware and I'd like tohave it in ubuntu repository, does anyone know how can I accomplish it? [22:36] _Oz_: mine has wireless and wired set to roaming and point to point is unconfigured [22:36] I open Hipo, and then it closes immediately. what's up with that? [22:36] I did turn of the beeping noise in the bios, if that makes a difference [22:36] hey all - I just installed openldap + phpLDAPadmin -- but what is the default login ingo? on a fresh server? [22:36] Pharaoh, I've got a dv6500se. If the laptop is turned of and you touch the quickplay buttons, it turns on and boots a special partition with WinXP embedded [22:36] ah [22:36] <_Oz_> macogw: sudo network-admin just opens up my network settings dialog, there is no unlock button [22:36] anyone know where i can find more info on the IM tech support project ubuntu had going? === cZw0 is now known as cZw0|b3ttL [22:37] i had vista, and in that case quickplay was a program, not a partition [22:37] Pharaoh, I was wondering if there is some way to disable this "feature", since even some dust on the buttons can turn the damn thing on [22:37] <_Oz_> macogw: GOT it! [22:37] i had the "newer" version of it [22:37] _Oz_: sorry im on hardy. you dont have to unlock. anyway.... set those settings [22:37] <_Oz_> macogw: roaming was the key [22:37] <_Oz_> (don't know why, it's a wired network) [22:37] macogw, you're on hardy aren't you... [22:37] Pharaoh, Boot Vista? [22:37] PriceChild: yes [22:37] macogw: what are you using hardy on? [22:37] PriceChild: i forgot gutsy didnt have "unlock" [22:37] macogw, :) [22:37] df00z: you there? [22:37] Housefly7k: my laptop [22:38] macogw: laptop? and how is it? [22:38] Pharaoh, oh, anyways, thank you - still searching for a way to disable this thing [22:38] Pharaoh, http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?p=2864767#post2864767 [22:38] mm, not really sure, i know that in the past it used to be a hardcoded partition, the new quickplay is just a program, my guess is to completely format the hd, and then re-install [22:38] zgrep, i'm afraid that it wasn't the right command :( and i'm still not having much luck :( [22:38] controler nvidia?? [22:38] i'm having a problem installing the nvidia drivers (line 58 onwards: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57630/) [22:38] Can anyone help me get the live cd running?

[22:40] I'm reading there are lots of buffer problems with that sound card [22:40] :( [22:40] hi [22:41] CorruptTerrorist: i have an Original CD, the ones Ubuntu ship one for free :D [22:41] i can install a command line system and then upgrade it with xorg correct? [22:41] i'd like to decompress a file to a specific location [22:41] hischild: yes.. [22:41] i'm having a problem installing the nvidia drivers (line 58 onwards: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57630/) [22:41] zgrep, then let's give that a try [22:41] can i do this directly with tar (specifiying a parameter) ? [22:41] vlad: basically, google .asoundrc, audigy, 48khz, 48000, dmix [22:41] hischild: yes - go ahead... you'll come nearer... [22:41] and see if anyone has had a similar problem and found a fix [22:42] CorruptTerrorist: and havent a possiblity to burn a minimalCD [22:42] df00z: thx man im gonna try that [22:42] it just looke like you were trying to get the info so i got it for you [22:42] sorry i cant be more help...it's definitely a driver issue...you might be able to find a .asoundrc to work test it with alsaplayer [22:42] zgrep, nearer to what ... my ultimate doom? breaking my pc? smashing it? oooh i've already passed all of those ... [22:42] or aplay [22:42] macogw, so just as i would assume there is no way to uninstall compiz it seems... unless you have a way, it's certainly not listed in add/remove programs. aptitude couldn't seem to find it either. [22:42] soo i hear if i have a creative sound card i am pretty much fucked? [22:42] df00z: are those other drivers? [22:42] hischild: To the solution.. the right command btw was Xorg -configure [22:43] using the onboard atm with linux [22:43] zgrep, missed the capital then :( [22:43] df00z: the truth is im a noob [22:43] hischild: that creates you an "example" config.. [22:43] hello everyone [22:43] arrrghhh: apt-cache search compiz [22:43] df00z: no, basically the .asoundrc file is used to configure alsa, you just put it in your home directory/.asoundrc [22:43] i'm having problems with apache2... it wont parse cgi files!!!!! [22:43] you can set things like software mixing, audio buffering, etc [22:43] how to install bootloader from ubuntu cd? [22:43] you just need to find a combination of what works [22:44] o [22:44] test with some program that uses alsa for output [22:44] i bet if you upmix everything to 48000 and play with the buffer settings you'll get it working [22:44] any suggestion how to do that? [22:45] CorruptTerrorist, what does it display [22:45] vlad: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Dmix [22:45] hi [22:45] macogw, uh... ok? is that just installed programs or all avaliable?

[22:55] Housefly7k: well...make sure you're using the proper video drivers, that will help some, flash does cause high cpu usage...>90 is a bit too high...but if you're running the proper drivers on a somewhat modern pc it shouldnt be that bad [22:55] script returned error exit status 1 [22:55] if you're using the Vesa drivers or something, it would cause that [22:55] df00z: after wirte that i have to save and restart?

I've got a question. [22:56] CorruptTerrorist, what did you run [22:56] AlexKibler, just ask it :) [22:56] i ran it in synaptic [22:56] E: libapache2-mod-fastcgi: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [22:57] I'm currently running Ubuntu, but I want to install Ubuntu Studio. My friend said that when I uninstall Ubuntu, it'll get rid of GRUB, so I can't start up my pc without re-installing Ubuntu. Is that true? [22:57] CorruptTerrorist, that's not perl [22:57] CorruptTerrorist, cgi is built into apache2, nothing to download [22:57] AlexKibler, i dont believe you must reinstall to install ubuntustudio but if i'm not mistaken sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio, then choose that from your gdm login screen [22:58] AlexKibler, i mean you do not have to reinstall, i think [22:58] how do I set permanent routes in Ubuntu Server? [22:58] ok how do I get install suns jdk and [22:58] Oh, really? Cool. I'm going to have to try that. Thanks. [22:58] what's the name of the add/remove programs package? [22:58] Does that work for like, kubuntu, or xubuntu as well? [22:58] it's not synaptic.... [22:58] How can I fix my video drivers?

I am loking at getting a new comp and just getting the drivers and then loading ubuntu. which do i load first? [23:11] ffm: use rockbox for linux on an ipod [23:11] juice_: Ah, yeah, sorry, my sole experience with rockbox was trying it out on my archos 20GB about three years ago. It broke it. [23:11] has anyone tried Likewise-Open? [23:11] juice_: Isn't there a #rockbox?' [23:11] ffm, youb could !coc him aswell,.,.;~) [23:11] juice_: tell h3av3n , not me. [23:11] My sound has stopped working. Audacity reports an error in the sound i/o layer, but aplay -l list the card, ideas? [23:11] puff: WOW really? that sucks [23:11] juice_: Well,t aht was a ways back, and the player was bleeding edge. [23:11] aricofdacia: install ubuntu first, of course. [23:11] h3av3n: use rockbox :P [23:11] mk [23:11] aricofdacia: it shouldn't need most drivers [23:11] any chance any1 could help out with figuring out why i can't get my box to boot as it should? I can't get gdm fired up like it should [23:12] juice_: I've heard nothing but good about rockbox. [23:12] puff: ic [23:12] for ipod remakes? and non-apple ipods? [23:12] really bad problem... my Synaptic PAckage Manager is not working properly... every package returns exit error 1 [23:12] juice_: too bad they don't support 2gen nnano. [23:12] pie-rate: basically, the restricted modules manager and the standard place to put the nvidia.ko file...2 different places...so if you install the nvidia driver off the site it will really mess things up [23:12] puff: yeah i used to use it: i like the skins and games and overall versatility, i even had doom on my ipod video [23:12] CorruptTerrorist: does the same issue occur with "apt-get"? [23:12] hischild, take out quiet from the boot parameter and get an error message,.,. might help,., [23:12] ffm, yes [23:12] So, I had to reinstall/reconfigure X, and I guess I put some of the config stuff in differently this time. When I log in, ubuntu pops up a dialog asking if I want to use the X keyboard settings or keep the gnome keyboard settings. [23:12] the regular place is in /lib/modules i forgot where restricted-modules puts it... [23:13] df00z: so where did the nvidia installer install nvidia.ko? [23:13] cd /;find -name nvidia.ko [23:13] CorruptTerrorist: then reinstall synaptic. [23:13] IS there a way I can import the gnome keyboard settings to X, so it stops asking me this? [23:13] ffm, how? [23:13] nvidia installer will use /lib/modules [23:13] restricted modules elsewhere [23:13] CorruptTerrorist, use livecd to reinstall apt? [23:13] where do I start looking to see if there are drivers for my webcam? [23:13] how??? [23:13] modconf [23:13] now what to use... how? [23:13] CorruptTerrorist: does apt-get work? [23:13] Anyone got a few mins to help a linux noob? [23:13] and then you have to tell restricted modules to allow the nvidia driver, im not good with that [23:13] ffm, no [23:13] !ask | CaptainKirk [23:13] im using the nvidia driver from the site [23:13] CaptainKirk: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[23:13] gnurph69: manufacturers website, if not there, try google [23:13] ffm, i cant seem to find anything there... [23:13] smokan: mount [23:13] puff: I have a machine doing the same thing so I am interested in what you find out [23:13] Nice bot [23:14] smokan: mount [23:14] because im on a custom kernel, i removed restricted modules [23:14] apt-cache search webcam [23:14] okej :) [23:14] smokan: or muont, to be more precise [23:14] ffm, isnt there a way i can find a .deb of an old devede with old mencode/mplayer?? I tried getdeb.net and didn't work for me in Gutsy AND Feisty [23:14] you fill find a lot of webcams modules packages [23:14] df00z: man i got without sound im gonna restart so ill be back [23:14] vlad: you need to change the buffers back [23:14] bod_, i'm not sure, did you follow the previous story about my box crashing as soon as i would try and install it? both with desktop and alternate, with and without extra bootoptions? [23:14] where can i get an functional driver bcw43xx for my dell 1500 wireless card, the one i found in the ubuntu , the zip file is not an zip file it is an html file supposely ... [23:14] yeah [23:14] i did [23:14] CorruptTerrorist, in synaptic theres an option to get packages from cd, tick that, then search for synaptic [23:14] still with out sound [23:14] s3a: no idea [23:14] fabio: thank you [23:15] vlad: ah [23:15] ffm, thx anyway [23:15] vlad: you can just rmmod and modprobe your module again... [23:15] bod_, also, it didn't help to enable it. Got a lot more output, but no luck :( [23:15] My sound has stopped working. Audacity reports an error in the sound i/o layer, but aplay -l list the card, ideas? [23:15] also did you upgrade alsa-lib when installing the new alsa-driver... [23:15] can someone help me connect on frostwire? [23:15] Anyway, my LiveCD seems to not work. After booting to it, the menu comes up and I select install/run. Then, it goes to a black screen and does nothing. I have downloaded the iso twice and used two different burning programs. My sys specs are well above the requirements to run Ubuntu. [23:15] hischild, i believe i may have been one of the many people attempting to help,.,. but have you got any error los from the boot process,.,.dmesg? [23:16] captiankirk: run in safe gfx mode [23:16] I have done that as well [23:16] CaptainKirk, did you download the correct version for your architecture (processor type?) [23:16] captiankirk: hmm idk [23:16] I gotta get outta here [23:16] bod_, you were? i'm sorry, i must've missed you. I'm afraid that dmesg doesn't give any relevant information, nor does changing the boot options [23:16] I downloaded the 64 bit intel/amd [23:16] CaptainKirk, remove graphics card and run from motherboard video board [23:16] No onboard video [23:16] captiankirk: thats ur prob, use the i386 [23:17] I have a 64 bit processor.... [23:17] hischild, so what part of gdm isnt going right? can you still use a graphical system? [23:17] captiankirk: i have a 64bit and the i386 has more support and overall works better [23:17] juice_, theres no prob with the 64 bit version [23:17] pie_rate: basicaly, find nvidia.ko in /lib/modules remove it make sure restricted modules tool etc is installed, nvidia driver and glx from the package, let x boot into bullet proof, and i guess allow nvidia to be used...id imagine it will fix everything automagically.... [23:17] bod_, can't find it [23:17] bod_: i know but its harder to get going than the i386] [23:17] juice_, CaptainKirk, i have amd64 dual core and the 64 bit version worked fine [23:17] I have an intel duel core [23:18] CorruptTerrorist, cant find what 'Synaptic'? enable all repo's and try again [23:18] bod_, any part that appears to rely on the graphical part fails. I might have missed one or 2 packages at installing it afterwards after i installed a command line system [23:18] I'm thinking that my 8800gtx might not be supported or something [23:18] juice_, ok,. tbh i havent tried using the i386 [23:18] captainkirk: AH HA! 64 nit is for amd i believe [23:18] CaptainKirk: should be [23:18] df00z: deleted 2 instances of nvidia.ko, reinstalled linux-restricted-modules and same error [23:18] bod_, all repos? [23:18] df00z: version mismatch [23:18] df00z: im without sound now :D [23:18] hischild, oh, ur not using a cd,.,.ive never attempted that, so im prob not the best person to ask,.,.sorry [23:19] juice, I think that it said amd/intel [23:19] CorruptTerrorist, all repositories [23:19] Pie-rate: reinstall the nvidia driver package in synaptic? [23:19] captainkirk: i have the 8800gt oc and i used envy, it was the only thing that seemed to work [23:19] bod_, i'm afraid not, since the live cd also fails :( [23:19] bod_, which is where? [23:19] hischild, text baseed installer? [23:19] !repositories | CorruptTerrorist [23:19] CorruptTerrorist: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [23:19] bod_, goes better then the live cd as it does boot. However once it tries to get X installed it also fails [23:19] how can i get the inf file fro man exe file in ubuntu ? [23:19] bod_, i'm not looking on 4 or 5 different pages [23:19] hischild, ok, its either bad iso or hardware problems i think [23:20] Just for reference, about how long does it take for the livecd to boot? [23:20] CaptainKirk: depends. [23:20] CorruptTerrorist, your choice [23:20] i mean how can i get an inf file fro my wireless card from an exe file for windows if i do not have windows ?? [23:20] That's what everyone says. Ballpark? [23:20] My sound has stopped working. Audacity reports an error in the sound i/o layer, but aplay -l list the card, ideas? [23:20] bod_, i'm thinking about my gfx card. The only thing i'm wondering about is why that my laptop did install fine from the same cd, and windows runs fine on this hardware [23:20] captainkirk: a min or two [23:20] CaptainKirk: less than 5 minutes on acceptable hardware, less than 2 on topoftheline. [23:20] Can i ask questions about unetbootin here? === s0k_ is now known as s0kket [23:20] vlad: i guess your .asoundrc file is messed up then? remove it, or recreate it... [23:20] So that's not it [23:20] I'm trying to output 1920x1080p to my projector with a nvidia card. I specify 1920x1080 as a Modes item in my Screen section of xorg.conf, and this works, but my projector says it's getting a 1080/60i signal, which I believe means interlaced right? Any ideas how I can get it to be progressive? [23:20] billenium: ok. [23:20] Is there a way while it's running to 'generate' which modeline is currently being used? or? [23:20] kk [23:20] hischild, do you have a seperate gcard? i had to remove mine to do the install then plug back in afterwards [23:21] Umm well, when i select the unetbootin Ubuntu selection it says Error 15: File not found... How can i fix this? [23:21] captainkirk: here's what you do, download the i386 iso and see if it runs, [23:21] bod_, it's there but only the uninstall option [23:21] billenium: hm... no idea. [23:21] billenium, get the file,.,.,.,.,.,.,. [23:21] That would make the third coaster [23:21] i have the file.... [23:21] bod_, yes i have a seperate one (geforce 8600 GT) yet the only thing i can replace it with is a radeon x1300. I don't know wether it will give me trouble when switching them back? [23:21] lol [23:21] Hey, is there a way i can found out which processes are reading/writing to the hdd the most? [23:21] billenium: try #unetbootin or #wubi ? [23:21] brb then [23:21] ffm: doesnt exist [23:22] vlad: i gotta get out of here, basically, i would mess with that asoundrc file, also try posting on the alsa-driver mailing list...or one of the alsa irc channels [23:22] CorruptTerrorist, type this in terminal sudo apt-get reinstall synaptic [23:22] billenium: #wubi? no? [23:22] i tried everything [23:22] its a driver issue [23:22] hischild, does your machine not have a standard motherboard raphics slot? [23:22] billenium: there's an ubuntuforum for wubi and unetbootin. [23:22] ffm: yeah i see, but im the only person in there... [23:22] bod_, yes it does, pci-e [23:22] billenium: other than that... [23:22] df00z: thx a lot man [23:22] good luck :P [23:22] hischild, use that? [23:22] bod_, but if you're talking about onboard, then no [23:22] oh [23:22] Hey, is there a way i can found out which processes are reading/writing to the hdd the most?

Every time I boot it seems to switch between my onboard audio and an installed SBLive! card. [23:33] n2diy: And what release are you on? [23:33] ph0rensic: well i have one router in my office and one in my room, where my ubuntu machine is, would i have to forward on both routers? [23:33] n2diy: I've had some problems with sound, but I think they changed the kernel to fix that. Basically, under pre-gutsy certain sound cards had drivers such that there was a single resource lock to the sound card and it couldn't be released. The workaround was to use the Alsa sound daemon, which got the first lock and then served access to the sound card. Problem was, if anything grabs that lock before alsa gets to it.... [23:33] I downloaded some software from svn, there is an autogen.sh but no configure, how do I create the configure to do ./configure ; make ; make install ? [23:34] puff: no, I'd like to preserve my uptime and avoid "windows" solutions. ;) [23:34] kthread seems to be chewing on some of my system resources. [23:34] vlad: arts will do it, as root, killall artsd....or shut it down properly in KDE lol [23:34] n2diy: The problem I was having was that I had another packge, hm, "esd" I think, which was grabbing the lock. [23:34] it probably started with your bad .asoundrc file though [23:34] juice_, Depends on how you have it set up [23:34] im not in kde [23:34] luisbg: it's possible the autogen script will make all of that for you, then you compile like normal. [23:34] anyone know a good linux hardware channel? [23:34] n2diy: I know exactly how you feel, but you may have to reboot with this problem. Try "ps -ef | fgrep -i esd" [23:34] i remake asoundrc [23:34] just how it comes [23:34] bod_, halfway through base installation ... (i'm goin by alternate again now ... saves me the time of booting it up first) [23:35] music hardware [23:35] SuperLag, I run ./autogen.sh it doesn't create a configure [23:35] vlad: kill arts, then do the dd on /dev/dsp [23:35] n2diy: Also try lsof /dev/dsp* [23:35] hischild, fair play,.,. i thought the text installer was quite snazy,.,.;~) [23:35] luisbg: what does it give you? [23:35] puff, Audacity is reporting an i/o error, and aplay -l list the sound card. Ok on lsof. [23:35] ph0rensic: it setup lik dis: broadband connects to the office router, office router connects to my room router, room router connects to my pc, then my funny bone :P [23:35] nothing man [23:35] df00z: [23:35] bod_, quite snazy? [23:36] SuperLag, it prints out a long list of things like ch_cur='22' ch_min='14' ch_min_version='1.7' [23:36] hischild, pretty cool [23:36] vlad: still says it's in use? [23:36] SuperLag, there is a configure.ac [23:36] even after artsd is killed? [23:36] bod_, i like it ... i know the entire menu back and forth now [23:36] luisbg: but do an ls in the directory... what else is there? [23:36] hischild, good for u,.,. [23:36] bod_, *enter enter rightarrow enter uparrow 2 seconds enter....* [23:37] puff, nothing, just returns me to a command prompt. [23:37] ? [23:37] juice_, Are any of the routers setup as a relay or are they both performing routing functions? [23:37] n2diy: it's not a "windows solution" when you're changing your entire kernel. it is a "windows solution" when you have to reinstall your whole OS because the one (or the version of the one) you were using sucks. [23:37] SuperLag, acinclude.m4 configure.ac Makefile.am [23:37] ph0rensic: routing [23:37] right... back to my other problem... apache is not parsing cgi scripts [23:37] luisbg: try running make [23:37] What could it be ?

This is a relatively fresh 7.10 install - all I've done are add build-essentials and some LAMP stuff. [23:42] ph0rensic, for Windows, but I want to compile it on Ubuntu. [23:43] I think it's how the DNS... [23:43] bod_, you can only reach to one network with your dongle? if he ip bans you, just switch to your neighbors network ;-) [23:43] nslookup [23:43] so i have a friend, her computer is having issues... it seems to be running compiz... i dunno. titlebars just disappear instantly, and the command "metacity --replace" fixes it. i've checked, and in prefs desktop effects are DISABLED. someone suggested uninstalling compiz, but it seems to be very tightly integrated into 7.10. how can i have metacity stick as the default wm? what is being used other than metacity that's causing the titlebars to di [23:43] sappear? [23:43] I need some help with mounting [23:43] larson9999: (lockup) yes, it's laptop. Sony VAIO SZ370P [23:43] hischild, can i not give myself a static ip which i can change to my hearts content? [23:43] I have a new 500gb HDD that I just formatted with ext3 [23:43] how can I mount it in a directory I created in /home/user/Data/ ??? [23:43] Devourer, I see... off hand I don't know that is done.. maybe there is a command line swith you use for that [23:43] Devourer: If you have an executable file on windows, you can't make that run on Ubuntu by recompiling it or anything like that. [23:44] genius, nvidia gxf? [23:44] You need the source code to do that. [23:44] wyattc, I've never heard anyone have that problem [23:44] My CPU usage is all over the place.... [23:44] larson9999: YES! how do you know??? [23:44] wyattc, I am making a .exe on Ubuntu for Windows... that is what I want to do. [23:44] bod_, ofcourse you could ... but why change it if you can just switch and have no troubles? also ... he might see your ip in the router logs ... a thing your neighbors wouldn't be able to fix [23:44] I've a printer defined, as the default. It's on a networked winxp machine. From the desktop functions, like System/Administration/Printing, I can see it, but neither firefox nor evince can, they don't show it as default or on their drop down. What am I missing? [23:44] or well [23:44] ph0rensic: Neither have I. I've googled a bunch and it doesn't look like anyone has. [23:44] not bother to [23:44] genius, sounds like the issue i was having. drove me nuts! [23:45] wyattc, You didn't try to change the "root password" did you? [23:45] hello, can i use ssh tunnel to ssh server on localhost? [23:45] larson9999: so what to do? [23:45] devourer: the only thing I can think of is compiling in a Virtual Machine [23:45] hischild, yer, but if he banned me, i could access the router with my ethernet ip and unbann my wireless ip, seeing as im the network admin and all,.,.ahhaa [23:45] essentially run windows and compile it there, but run it inside your Ubuntu install [23:45] nice ;-) [23:45] you did get your drivers now did you :p (15 min remainin till ethernet dropout ;-)) [23:45] ph0rensic: No, I haven't made any attempts to change the root password [23:45] wyattc, what kind of virtual machine? [23:46] wyattc, I thought he has said source code, and he wanted to make an .exe for his windows, but just do the compiling in ubuntu (perhaps because less cpu overhead??) [23:46] n2diy: did you ever answer what release of ubuntu you were using? [23:46] hey, if my graphics card, and my monitor, both support 1680x1050 as native resolution, why is the max res i can use in ubuntu 1400x1050 [23:46] Yeah, just from source code. [23:46] hey guys how can i enable XVidModeExtension???THANKS [23:46] I'm not trying to convert a binary for Ubuntu into an .exe. [23:46] puff: Dapper, LTS [23:47] n2diy: Hm.. [23:47] speps, what do you need that ? [23:47] Devourer: It's a fairly complicated thing to do. You would need to download a program like VMWare Server or VMWare Player to run a virtual machine, and if you're unfamiliar with it there's a bit to pick up. [23:47] While I would believe there's an easier way, I can't think of anything that would allow you to compile Windows binaries on Ubuntu [23:47] genius, for me it was the power/cpu scaling stuff. i disabled the powernow service. that helped a lot but i'd still get lock ups. just not as many. then i disabled cpu frequency service and apmd service. haven't had a lockup since... about 4 days now [23:47] Devourer, perhaps you get a virtual windows in vmware or virtual box, then compile it.. your technically in ubuntu, but windows is technically compiling.. probably not what you want though im suspecting [23:47] madmaxmad: i need it because i wanna use xcalib! [23:48] wyattc, ph0rensic, well, what I want to compile I have tried compiling on Windows and can't so I was hoping that there was something like MinGW on Ubuntu that could compile a .exe on Ubuntu. [23:48] genius, also if i used the nv driver verses nvidia i'd get no lockups. something to do with nvidia not playing nice with the power scaling stuff [23:48] Err, when i delete when using sudo nautilus where does it go.. [23:48] Why can't you compile it on Windows [23:48] wyattc, ph0rensic, I'm trying to do this because I can't Windows to find some libraries but Ubuntu can find them easily. [23:49] Darkmystere: probably to /root/.Trash [23:49] puff, I found something in the forums for Dapper sound dated 2/23, which corresponds to the last time I did a restart. But sound was working on Monday? Let me go check it out. [23:49] ok... how do i get/install/enable a2enmod? [23:49] Darkmystere: that's just a guess [23:49] winlib? [23:49] Prince_Jammys, i checked its not there..because i accedentally copied a file too many times like a 5GIG file.. and then i deleted them all and its still cramping space [23:49] winelib? [23:50] anyone know how do i get apc and phpize on my ubuntu machine? i don't see any related packages [23:50] madmaxmad: do you know xcalib? [23:50] larson9999: hmm. i can't switch to nv, because i will loose ability to use external monitor... :( [23:50] Yeah actually it looks like mingw has an answer [23:50] Devourer, I see your dilemma .. I dont know [23:50] mingw32 seems to be able to do it [23:50] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22879 [23:50] I need some help installing ndiswrapper [23:50] Hi - I've mounted a second hard disk and added it to fstab, how do I get it to appear in dialogs such as the "File Systems" tab of the System Monitor? [23:50] genius, yeah, i was just offering that as a means to test if it was nvidia driver. but you can disable those services and see if that helps. [23:50] wyattc, ph0rensic, some people told me somewhere that i586-mingw32msvc-gcc could do this. [23:50] anyone know why ubuntu doesnt work properly on a widescreen [23:50] larson9999: how to disable that "powernow"? [23:50] Darkmystere: i don't know then. you could try:: find / -name filename [23:50] speps, I cant help you with that dude [23:50] !gq | bajaboy [23:50] bajaboy: Please be aware your question fails to put the point across and could easily be misunderstood, please check this, to understand how to ask 'good' questions: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html Cheers! [23:51] puff, no luck, it is just a list of sound packages. === madmaxmad is now known as mad_max02 [23:51] Devourer, give it a try then .. [23:51] genius, it's in the services gui under system -> administration [23:51] prince_jammys: oh wtf...i was just checking roots deleted files...but i went to root then enabled hidden and then .trash and vralla there it was.. [23:51] larson9999: sure, if it will be nvidia - i have no choice. i'll try service first [23:51] Anyone know how to access a shared folder as setup in virtualbox? [23:51] larson9999: now you have no problem? [23:51] Darkmystere: good :) [23:51] Guys, I formated new partition in ext3 and in nautilus it shows up 9,9gb used space. WHATS USING THAT SPACE ???? [23:51] genius, nope [23:52] whats with that tho... .tash hides files.. [23:52] n2diy test [23:52] larson9999: and you have disabled service + nv? [23:52] genius, well, i guess i'm not cpu scaling [23:52] genius, no, i'm using nvidia [23:52] Darkmystere: i'm a bit confused by what happened there. but yeah .trash is a hidden dir with the contents of the user's trashcan [23:52] ph0rensic, I did try it, although, the same program that compiled with gcc said that the GTK+ library when trying to compile for a .exe had syntax error somewhere. [23:52] How can I get my laptop to pop up a notification when the battery reaches x%? [23:53] prince_jammys, i was using nautilus as root it should of showed the files :/... [23:53] hello, could I install an i_386 version of Ubuntu on an amd_64 machine? Thx [23:53] david_: Yes [23:53] Devourer: windows GTK and Linux GTK is different [23:53] david_, yes [23:53] ok thanks! [23:53] larson9999: thank you! [23:53] david_, yeah. that's preferable imho unless you know what you're doing. [23:53] Devourer, does it show the location?? [23:54] david_, as a matter of fact, that's what i'm doing right now ;-) [23:54] kitche, really? ph0rensic, yes. /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gutils.h:100:21: missing binary operator before token "(" [23:54] Darkmystere: probably if you have a trash can on your desktop, it only links to the trash of the user who created that trash can. [23:54] omg what takes up free space on ext3 partitions ??? [23:54] hmm [23:54] genius, how long would it take before you'd lockup? [23:54] larson9999: i think you are right, because most of problems was when i was over vmware window. [23:54] prince_jammys, i dont have it on desktop.. [23:54] I checked another partition and it says that its 287gb in use and I only have 274gb of daya on it [23:54] ok second question, do you recommend any Net backup service for my files? [23:54] Darkmystere: mmm beats me. then [23:54] oh boy.. I think this is beyond me [23:54] can anyone answer me ? [23:54] larson9999: it is too random. i work for hours, than bah... [23:55] In Gutsy, even though I change the background color, it always shows the brown when a user logs in until the users setting take effect. What file is responsible for that configuration? [23:55] Devourer, you HAVE to compile it ?? [23:55] david_, depends on what you want to backup for. As for data crash, just use dvd's etc imo... for switching distro's, use a seperate /home folder :-) [23:55] ph0rensic, what do you mean? [23:55] genius, well give that a go and cross your fingers [23:55] juice, you still here? [23:55] mzuverink, if you find out let me know,, cause that is super annoying [23:55] ohh great, first ubuntu doesnt pick up my native resolution, now it fails at installing grub.... [23:55] larson9999: thank you! :) i will report in couple of days [23:55] mzuverink: great question. i've never been able to figure that one out [23:55] Yeah, I guess Windows GTK+ and Linux GTK+ are different. [23:55] Devourer, There isn't a binary of the source you are trying to compile?? [23:56] mzuverink: it started with gutsy [23:56] Devourer, yes they most likely are [23:56] genius, i know it was driving me nuts. i hated thinking windows was more stable! [23:56] ph0rensic, well, I'm the one writing the program... I'll ask in the #gtk+ channel on GIMP IRCd. [23:56] prince_jammys, I fixed it once, but forgot how [23:57] bod_, good news! it's at the cleaning up stage and so far it's goin all good! [23:57] hischild: I want to install i_386 Ubuntu to replace amd_64 ubuntu, AND i want to change the partition. Do you recommend specific sw for backing up my /home files to DVD? [23:57] why do i get this: "Please insert the disk labeled: Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)in drive /cdrom/" when i trying to install ndiswrapper? [23:57] exit [23:57] Devourer, I see .. sorry bud [23:57] hischild, is that b4 or after the graphical stuff? [23:58] Can anyone tell me why i'm having a problem installing ubuntu because i have a dvi converter on the monitor cord? [23:58] larson9999: instable os or hardware is real hell. bad feeling [23:58] bod_, cleaning up is AFTER software installation (inc graphical stuff) and before grub [23:58] ph0rensic, it's cool. I just wish it would work on Windows, so hard to set up on Windows... Lol, that's Windows for you. [23:58] smokan, because you have the cdrom in the list of sources to get programs from. [23:58] smokan, you need to comment out the cdrom entry in your /etc/apt/sources.list and then refresh with a sudo apt-get update [23:58] david_, you can use any burning software for backing stuff up to a dvd. I use k3b myself which works fine but i'm sure there are others. [23:58] hischild, good stuff ;~) [23:59] aah! thanks! [23:59] david_, did you create a seperate /home partition during your installation? [23:59] hello [23:59] does anyone know how to copy a directory recursively with the "dd" command? [23:59] <_Oz_> Question: I have a dual-boot setup (WinXP and Ubuntu). I have an NTFS HD mounted (called "I: 151GB") and I have to type in an administrative password every time I access it, which I don't like. How can I make it so that I can simply browse that volume without needing a password? [23:59] hischild: I did not install, the company that sold me the machine did. Yes /home is a separate partition from / [23:59] ph0rensic, yes they say I need a win32 GTK+ library which I will then be able to compile.
