If I load ubuntu, will grub be the boot loader like on my desktop with xp, or will I have to set it up through vista? [00:03] aghachi, how bout just running nvidia-settings all by itself? [00:03] * beautifulsnow is thinking of reinstalling ubuntu like this: ubuntu-server, then gnome-core + kde core, + apps as needed by me... does this sound like a good idea? [00:03] Jorge_,I can give you a copy of my /boot/grub/menu.lst and you can copy/edit the lines you need for ubuntu how is that ? [00:03] is it safe to say that if xp will run on a box so will ubuntu?

[00:04] scunizi: ? im completly n00b to this command stuff and ubuntu i dont get waht u mean [00:04] x3on: I think they are both based on debian.. both use apt...I'm not sure what the differences are.. but since we get many mint users here I guess they have somewhat less community support [00:04] aghachi, what are you trying to change with nvidia-settings? [00:04] Pelo, if you could point me in the right direction? [00:04] Curious, anyone know how to install ZD1211RW driver on Ubuntu? My linux generic doesn't have all req files. [00:05] it seems I don't have the verdana fonds for firefox, how can I get them ? [00:05] Scunizi, icesword , thx!

Is it possible to install Windows on a different partition after Ubuntu has been installed? === Yuji1 is now known as Yuji1_Saeki [00:06] Jorge_, probably because stage one of grub is still pointing to the menu.lst in your pclos partition [00:06] Ah yes, much better. [00:06] Zasch-> yes [00:07] I wonder... [00:07] !dualboot | Zasch === Yuji1_Saeki is now known as Yuji1_Saeki-[TS2 [00:07] Zasch: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:07] can i enable inotify in a compiled kernel without compile it again? i've made a f#### mistake and hal doesn't starts [00:07] Gah, too long. [00:07] Pelo, Ubuntu does not overwrite that? [00:07] Jorge_, then you might just want toget the supergrub cd and point stageone to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file in your ubuntu partiton [00:07] ompaul: About that minimal CD: since I am handpicking which apps to install, won't I be at risk that some hardware doesnt work out of the box? (my Dell Latitude D820 works 100% out of the box with a full Ubuntu install) === Yuji1_Saeki-[TS2 is now known as Yuji1_Saeki [00:07] It works I guess. [00:07] Yuji1: i have a zd1211rw based usb wifi, and everythings work properly for me, i didint have to change anything, it just worked. [00:07] Jorge_, it should but I am thinknig it might have not [00:07] i am looking for a program that will let me do screen capture video [00:07] zasch: try the other way around for driver recognition issues [00:07] brobostigon I installed mine (by just plugging it up) but it showed up as an eth!!! [00:07] !apt-spy [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-spy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:07] yes, Slart I remember it back now :) th [00:07] Eth2 lol [00:07] thx [00:08] binaries-AP1: What do you mean "driver recognition issues"? [00:08] BESIDES...trying to get aircrack going so I can audit my environment. [00:08] aghachi, ah.. you're dual monitoring.. ubuntu now uses xRANDr or something similar. xinerama can be loaded but nvidia-settings I don't think will change your resolution. You have to hand configure xorg.conf for xinerama to work. It's a function of X not your video driver necessarily [00:08] cjones_: wm recorder? [00:08] beautifulsnow, well now if that is a risk factor in your book then I would suggest grabbing more than one CD for the install fest that you are about to entertains [00:08] (Believe it or not, a genuine cause!) [00:08] dil can i apt get it ? [00:08] cjones_: no no sry [00:08] I host an apartment wifi spot, yeah. [00:08] Pelo...well, I'm at a loss here.....pclos just keeps starting up [00:08] Jorge_, in anycase , here is a paste of my own menu.lst file, just find the menu.lst file in your pclos partiton and add the ubuntu menu entries to it, change the (hd#,#) lines in the lines you copy to relfect the partitons ubuntu is isntalled in [00:08] dil is it gnu ? [00:09] yuji1: mines zd1211rw based too, and it just worked straight out, [00:09] beautifulsnow, it is the kernel that detects hardware and that is the same - minimal or full [00:09] cjones_: thinking of something else [00:09] Jorge_, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57895/ [00:09] cjones_: no [00:09] aghachi, check out http://www.lockergnome.com/linux/2007/06/18/dual-monitors-with-ubuntu/ [00:09] brobostigon Mine too, but it shows up as an ETH. I disabled roaming and closed properties and now it shows wireless configs even though it is an eth (as it says!) [00:09] Pelo, I'm just not sure what to do with the information you've given me....how do I edit the file? [00:09] ELo [00:09] Pelo, and what file [00:10] Pelo, and where? [00:10] can i enable inotify in a compiled kernel without compile it again? i've made a f#### mistake and hal doesn't starts [00:10] The problem that I am having is that, when I put in my XP CD, it doesn't recognise that my harddrive already has partitions :) It just says "C: Unknown Partition", when I have a 30GB partition just waiting for XP :( [00:10] Jorge_, just open it with a text editor in pclos, not sure wht you have in there nano maybe, so try sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:10] yuji1: mines shows as eth1, eth0 is my built in nic, [00:10] Zasch, is that partition formatted? [00:10] Slart, it seems the fonds arn't added to firefox :o [00:10] brobo: Yes but it should be wlan0 or wlan1 [00:10] Eh, anyways... [00:10] pelo, i'm in PCLinuxOS [00:11] Scunizi: Yes, it is. The XP installer lists my whole hard drive as 1 unknown partition [00:11] So say I got that working. How would I use the patch from aircrack-ng on it? [00:11] To enable monitoring mode. [00:11] Pelo, not sure where to find it [00:11] Jorge_, open a terminal windows , type locate menu.lst [00:11] yuji1: and i configure mine permenently in /etc/network/interfaces [00:11] I'm new to Ubuntu so yeah. [00:11] Zasch, does it have anything else on it? like ubuntu? [00:11] Scunizi: The 30GB partition doesn't, no [00:11] Yuji1_Saeki, please stop using the enter key for punctuation , it scrolls the channel up needlessly [00:11] pelo,done [00:12] Zasch: for this reason create a windows partition ( with gparted ) and install it there first, update the system, and then only then once you have a nice driver compilation on your back up hd , install unix [00:12] Jorge_, you have the path to menu.lst in there ? [00:12] ??? I'm not. [00:12] Zasch, by chance did you format it with ext3 when you created it? [00:12] I installed a SATA drive last night, got it all set up so it works, but it doesn't mount automatically at boot. How can I (1) mount it at boot and (2) allow all users read/write access? [00:12] pelo, yes [00:12] ...Sorry that I type faster than people send between my messages. I'll slow down then? [00:12] Scunizi: No, I formatted it with NTFS [00:12] scunizi: thanx ill check itout [00:12] Jorge_, ok now type sudo nano /path/menu.lst , whee path is the path to the menu.lst file you just found in locate [00:12] Yuji1_Saeki-> no, just put your thoughts in longer sentences [00:13] I do not understand. *puzzled* Do you mean try to keep my sentences NOT broken up? Like, type them all in one 'enter'? [00:13] Zasch, this could be one of the typical window installation problems after Ubuntu install. Windows likes to be the first thing installed and at the beginning of the drive.. [00:13] hey guys i have had Ubuntu 7.10 for a while now and well all of a sudden I have no sound, can someone direct me to solving this issue [00:13] Yuji1_Saeki, yes [00:13] Yuji1_Saeki-> yes it would be nicer [00:13] Pelo, remember I'm in pclos [00:13] does anyone have a problem using libncurses5-dev on Gutsy with C++ [00:13] cant figure out how to use the comfiz install [00:14] Jorge_, what is the default text editor for pclos ? [00:14] Pelo: amenado: Alright. My apologies. I am new to IRC in general. [00:14] pelo, sec [00:14] Zasch, did you format the drive using ubuntu? or windows? [00:14] on a remove of alsa-base, ubuntu-minimal is also removed. on an install of ubuntu-minimal, alsa-base is also installed. how to get rid of alsa-base and keep ubuntu-minimal? [00:14] Scunizi: I formatted the drive using a program called "gparted" [00:14] Yuji1_Saeki, we get that , but this is a support channel with over 1000 ppl in it , it is helpfull for everyone to be brief [00:15] pelo, ok, there [00:15] Jorge_, so what is the default text editor in pclos ? [00:15] windows = fat32 or ntfs not ext 2 or 3 [00:15] DIL, ntfs [00:15] I am in Nano [00:15] Pelo: Alright then. Perhaps you can help me. Why would my wireless USB show up as an ETH instead of WLAN? [00:15] edju: IIRC there may be a way of *only* removing the suggested package you tell it to via apt-get [00:15] Zasch, you might consider deleting that partition again and recreating it as a bootable drive but don't format it. If it forces you to format it use vfat or fat32. When installing windows, windows will allow you to reformat the drive to ntfs [00:15] Jorge_, do you have menu.lst opened ? [00:16] pelo yes [00:16] whats a good ftp server for ubuntu + apache2? [00:16] Yuji1_Saeki, I am useless with wifi sorry , ask again periodicaly [00:16] Hmm, alright, I'll try that. Thanks!

[00:17] pelo, no [00:17] How do I run a bash command on _boot_? [00:17] Jorge_, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57895/ [00:17] usser, gui? [00:17] Yuji1_Saeki-> thats how your udev or sysfs have detected it, you have to look at the udev rules how it names devices..am not quite comfy with it myself yet..so still learnig [00:17] Pelo: ...Ask again?...Oh in hopes someone else will know? Alright. Perhaps tomorrow. :) One question before I go. I kinda monkey-ed around with usr/src/linux etc and wish to know how to restore it...I'm missing a few...*lot* of drivers now. [00:17] hello [00:17] CorruptTerrorist: nope, none of the ftp servers in linux I know of have gui [00:17] Yuji1_Saeki, just clean install [00:17] pelo, ok, opened [00:17] I get this: http://i29.tinypic.com/2z81cad.png when I try to access the Samba server I just set up on another computer.

Geh, nvm. Thank for your help then. I have no clue what any of that is either. [00:18] Yuji1_Saeki-> and then re-install the build-essential and headers. [00:18] Technical Question: if I see my hard drive spinning, how do I know which application is accessing it? On windows I used to look at I/O bytes in Task Manager, how do I do that on Linux? [00:18] Jorge_, scroll down to where you get the first menu entry for ubuntu , copy the set of lines for ubuntu , about 3 or 4 [00:18] amenado: What is the build-essential and headers? Where can I get them and how do I install? apt-get? [00:18] Yuji1_Saeki-> if you have no clue yet on how to compile, umm may i suggest some tutorials on compiling c [00:19] Yuji1_Saeki, sudo apt-get build-essentials [00:19] hey guys....i have a problem with compiz....i was running beryl on my system but i installed compiz and now i cant get the cubed desktop and i dont see the window borders after i turn it on [00:19] CorruptTerrorist, gftp has a gui version [00:19] ...C?

[00:21] what file contains the sig: "Invalid Release signature" [00:21] Scunizi, that's a client isnt it? [00:21] CorruptTerrorist, you looking for the server portion? [00:21] Yuji1_Saeki, sudo apt-get install (packages) [00:21] Jorge_, I'm gonna have to go , you'll need to figure out the rest on your own or ask in #grub , best of luck [00:21] [Q] What do I use to setup wifi on ubuntu server? [00:21] Scunizi, yeah [00:22] I get this error: http://i29.tinypic.com/2z81cad.png when I try to access the Samba server I just set up on another computer.

You might check out webmin for administering the ftpservers that aren't graphical.. like vsftpd [00:24] thanks [00:25] reportingsjr, all of the config are in /etc.if you ask me,i think /etc/init.d/rc.local is you want [00:25] ok [00:25] I have an HP12lln that I want Ubuntu on. It has multiple harddrives on it and operating systems [00:25] CorruptTerrorist: oh yea webmin is awesome [00:25] I have windows xp [00:25] !webmin [00:25] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[00:29] amenado: I live off SSI. My mother screwed my life and education up. brobostigon: Where can I find this documentation? [00:29] teqsun, yes, yet unrecommended due to a lot of driver changes ... [00:29] Jorge_-> pclinuxos is the default bootable os?

If you want access to your games in windows but be able to play them while in Ubuntu.. forget about 99.9% of them. [00:30] I dont want to install XP through VM I was wondering if I could take a preinstalled (already existing) installation of XP and use it as a VM through ubuntu [00:31] If I start a 2nd Xserver, how do I easily stop it from commandline? [00:31] teqsun: yes, just a fyi you should be able to use vmplayer and create a vm with xp - i would use the the download from vwware site though [00:31] Yuji1_Saeki: tldp.org [00:31] teqsun, i think you cannot,for now yeah,you cannot [00:31] LDP.Org turned out to be some terrorist signup site. Jk. [00:31] Jorge_-> do you get a grub menu when you boot? [00:31] Yea with VMWare Workstation.. [00:31] I need to map my mouse forward/back buttons, and I have been successful getting the commands working by using btnx, however, before btnx, the back/forward buttons, had arbitrarily been assigned to the middle click and the right click functions (Even though they are not the same buttons) so now my browser will go back, but it will also open up a right click menu. How can I disable the... [00:31] tldp.org [00:31] ...default functions of these buttons and replace them with JUST the btnx mappings? [00:31] am detecting a troll [00:31] Err, my internet in ubuntu doesnt work but if i boot into backtrack it works.. [00:31] NickRud: Thank you nickrud: [00:31] teqsun, also check www.vmware.com www.virtualbox.org [00:31] I would just like to access windows, I dualboot but when I reboot in console, it loads grub and I have no idea how to access grub with ssh and change the boot order [00:31] teqsun, VMWare has a free app that will create a VM out of your windows install. Then just copy the files to Ubuntu and run them via VMWare. Still you'll end up with license verification issues. [00:31] thank yuo [00:31] amenado, I get a menu to choose between pclos and winxp [00:32] I dont have verification :) [00:32] its a copy through school [00:32] Jorge_-> is that a grub menu by chance? [00:32] if I need to I can spend another $10 on another copy [00:32] grub [00:32] amenado, grub I think [00:32] !warez [00:32] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video.

[00:32] * __mikem wonders why anyone would need to dual boot two linux distros [00:32] Jorge_-> do you know where that menu.lst resides? ie which partition? [00:33] ubotu: Darn, jk. [00:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about darn, jk. - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:33] amenado....no [00:33] teqsun, sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:33] __mikem: testing 32 bit and 64 bit kernel modules on a variety of os's ?

[00:33] I am not talking about illegal software, as a student I have insane discounts [00:33] Oh wow IRC has commands. o.o [00:33] thank you icesword [00:33] Jorge_-> do you have a liveCD from ubuntu you can use? [00:33] do I have to use nano or can I use vi [00:33] k [00:34] ok [00:34] amenado, yes [00:34] teqsun-> either one is okay [00:34] teqsun: whatever editor you like, even emacs [00:34] teqsun, if you get used to it [00:34] 8| [00:34] I am used to it :90 [00:34] 8O [00:34] Jorge_-> then boot from that and find on each partition, you may have to mount it, where that menu.lst is [00:34] If I had my way, I would use VI for everything. [00:34] amenado: What do you think a casual tech job for a walk in on a PC should cost? You know, tweaking, anti-viral removal, etc. The whole works.

[00:38] Yuji1_Saeki, i'm aware of that, yet my router doesn't support wpa [00:38] Yuji1_Saeki / Scunizi: this is your last warning about offtopic discussions in #ubuntu. [00:38] should be fairly easy if I knew what I was doing [00:38] Yuji1_Saeki, nickrud is right .. this type of thing is better in #ubuntu-offtopic or a PM [00:38] amenado...ok, I trust you, what exactly do I do Now? [00:38] hischild what does your router support? [00:38] Yuji1_Saeki, only wep :( [00:38] Jorge_-> boot from that liveCD and find on each partition, you may have to mount each one, where that menu.lst is [00:38] [Q] What do I use to setup wifi on ubuntu server? *cant find server info on previous link [00:38] Ok in the Grub file to set the default to 3 (the 4th os in the list) [00:38] hischild: can you filter connections by MAC address?

[00:39] Yuji1_Saeki, np ... i'm not entirely stupid to just stay with only wep and do nothing ... it does support mac filtering which is enabled :-) [00:39] how do i figure out my version of ubuntu? [00:39] hischild: what flavor of router is it? [00:39] amenado....I don't see how I can find the root menu.lst file is [00:39] alexman: lsb_release -a [00:39] mneptok, some old netgear one [00:40] mneptok, not sure of the version though [00:40] Jorge_-> are you booted on the liveCD yet? from there we can assist [00:40] Windows partition.. I seem to have misplaced it. Help? [00:40] ubontu: How do I change my wireless usb's mode to another? Is that an ok question? I have many questions but don't know if it is Ubuntu related entirely. This is with Ubuntu. [00:40] Yuji1_Saeki, ubontu is a bot.. [00:40] hischild: you should see if router firmware updates provide WPA(2) functionality [00:41] mneptok, no wait! i've been misreading ... it supports wpa-psk <3 [00:41] hischild: then there ya go [00:41] !hello [00:41] Hi!

[00:41] [Q] What do I use to setup wifi on ubuntu server? *cant find server info on previous link given* [00:41] mneptok, but ... any chance you could gimme a hand on getting wlan on my server up? i know it's far from perfect, but it's better then having a wire running through my room [00:41] amenado....yes [00:41] solexious1-> do you have a wireless nic card? [00:42] ? [00:42] Jorge_-> okay open up a terminal [00:42] amen: Its a prism card in a laptop [00:42] hi [00:42] amenado ok [00:42] i wants to be unbanned please, thank you [00:42] Jorge_-> then type fdisk -l; and we will attempt to load each partition one by one to search your menu.lst [00:42] theLichKing: uh ...

[00:43] I downloaded a theme file, but I don't know where irssi was installed [00:43] here is a good question. looks like my grub is fine, but my kernel images are corrupted. how can i reinstall those from say a livecd ? [00:43] mneptok, uh? [00:43] Which folder is irssi installed in by default? [00:43] theLichKing: you're here. you're speaking. so what is this ban? [00:44] i was wondering does it's posible to separet xp and ubuntu on each partition ? [00:44] Jorge_-> you see the list of partitions you have? /dev/hda1 ? /dev/hda2 ? what are the names? [00:44] Yuji1_Saeki, sure that's an ok question.. unfurtunatly I don't do wireless and don't know the answer.. If the usb dongle is capable of WPA2 the short answer is ... probably. [00:44] mneptok, my other ip got banned [00:44] lain_, normally in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin [00:44] quick question: is there a cli param for tar to change compression level when using tar to create a bz2 file? [00:44] theLichKing: today? [00:44] i was wondering does it's posible to separet xp and ubuntu on each partition ??? [00:45] amenado, you know what? I shall wait for the answer [00:45] mneptok, no, about a month ago [00:45] Jorge_-> you see the list of partitions you have? /dev/hda1 ? /dev/hda2 ? what are the names? [00:45] Scunizi: Apparently there is a.Patch from aircrack-ng that you apply to the drivers to enable it. (Genuine purpose!!!) [00:45] Jorge_-> wait for the answer from whom? [00:45] i got all ready 2 partions :D [00:45] time to make 3 one :) [00:46] I supply the apartment wifi for everyone and want to find out a general rough time that it takes for my wpa2 to be you know...So that I can write a VB.net on xp to autorun every so often and change the key.

[01:45] oh maybe not [01:45] because that's what I want to do...I don't want to install now. [01:45] oh, well, thats not cool [01:45] flaccid, it is [01:45] just not in the main ones :) [01:45] dev1n: i think alternate is text only not live, but i could be wrong [01:46] oh dang [01:46] your right flaccid [01:46] alternate is text only [01:46] oh, that's no good. [01:46] should be a deb package available somewhere [01:46] Hi guys. A friend wants to experiment with linux, with linux acting as the access point. [01:47] perhaps Ubuntu is the wrong choice...is there another live CD option that's more likely to work with my hardware? [01:47] how do you convert a Ogg Theora video to mpeg [01:47] dev1n: try knoppix [01:47] ok [01:47] dev1n, thers 100's of live cds out there. :) depends on what you wabnt. Slax is nice as is knoppix [01:47] dev1n: did you try the safe graphic mode option on normal livecd ?

[01:47] I want to install metacity from svn so I can use AWN, can anyone help me? [01:47] Kanuha-> just do a sudo dpkg -d install packagename [01:47] dev1n, ubuntu is in constant development, so sometimes there isnt always a fix, but surely there is one coming up eventually :) [01:48] dev1n, the alternate cd is text based only .. get the live cd to run from the cd [01:48] Good day to all [01:48] ok, I give up on Ubuntu [01:48] amenado, is it available on the cd? [01:48] is there #knoppix? [01:48] I need help setting up LVM to RAID to HD's for software raid [01:48] So he'd have to set up a dhcp server, what else would he install to have the linux box act as the router? [01:48] dev1n: no no what if it is your hardware? [01:48] dev1n, i have good luck with INSTALLING ubuntu with the altnerantive cd. even if the live cd has issues. [01:48] Kanuha-> dont know, have not searched the cdrom [01:48] dev1n: Ubuntu is the best [01:49] The Ubuntu Live cd - is rather... basic in ways. [01:49] ok, if UBUNTU is the best, then i should be able to get it to boot [01:49] hello, having trouble with spdif on my audigy 2. anyone have experience with this?

I am installing on an alternate live cd right now and need help setting up software RAID and LVM. I need help partitioning the two disks to be seen as one in ubuntu. [01:53] Hello Bossmanbeta [01:53] solexious-> which ubuntu version do you have? [01:53] Scunizi: you can if you use the version that has compositing [01:54] !raid | soreau [01:54] soreau: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:54] Tu13es, nice.. didn' t know [01:54] SimplySeth: I want to know what i should select at the partitioner [01:54] Dr_willis: i have an alternative cd for 7.10. it doesn't run either [01:54] soreau, have you checked the install docs/guides at the ubuntu web site yet? Ive never used those features. [01:54] hischild: ok, let me try that again [01:54] Scunizi: but I can't use compiz with this tablet :P [01:54] ere4si: right on [01:54] Dr_willis: it keeps freezing up on me [01:54] k [01:54] hp, so the instaler works, or dosent work? where does it freeze at? [01:54] dev1n, alright. [01:54] soreau: manual if you don't want to use the whole disk or guided if you do [01:54] hischild: t=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz [01:54] bbl [01:54] soreau: probably "Manual" since you are using two disks [01:54] SimplySeth: ere4si hit up ubotu for the links xD [01:54] hischild: is that right? [01:55] hischild: that's what it will look like if i backspace a bit [01:55] !raid [01:55] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:55] Dr_willis: checking for Cd drive, or disc. it freezes at 25%, 69% and 75%. each time i had to turn off the machine, after restarting it moves up a bit on the percentage bar [01:55] dev1n, if you only removed the quiet and plash, then that's correct [01:55] What format should I put my external drive in .. so ubuntu and windows xp can read it? Thanks. Would Fat32 to okay? [01:55] thanks ubotu [01:55] hischild: there are two dashes after the quiet and the splash...remove those too? [01:55] hp, weird. You might want to try the xubuntu cd's and check the forum for your exact brand/make pc - see if others have similer issues. [01:55] amenado: No? [01:56] dev1n, those can be moved as far as i know. If not, it'll warn you [01:56] ok [01:56] puff no! [01:56] blockcipher, fat32 is ok. But has limits. You can read/write ext2/3 with the proper windows drivers in windows.. or read/write ntfs under linux with ntfs-3g [01:56] hischild: it gives me the starting box..."loading kinux kernel" [01:57] hischild: it's hung at 3% [01:57] (as usual) [01:57] dev1n, .... no other warnings or anything? [01:57] no [01:57] Dr_willis, has a size limit is that what you are refering to for fat32? [01:57] hischild: let me know when you think i should give up waiting [01:57] it's still at 3% [01:57] ere4si: So just install the ubuntu OS to one of the hard disks and then configure RAID? [01:57] blockcipher, isent there a 4gb file size limit for fat32.. I forget - been so long. :) i just use ntfs/ext3 these days [01:58] dev1n, alright ... try again ... this time again without the quiet and splash option and add --> acpi=off <-- [01:58] soreau, don't do raid - just know the link :) [01:58] ok === kirby|busy is now known as Charitwo [01:58] vim /home/folder, list lots of file, when i hit enter, i open the file. Q. how to close the file and still be inside that folder? [01:58] Dr_willis: yeah 2**32 bytes max file size [01:58] Dr_willis, cool i just had issues getting to ntfs on my last ubutu load so I was trying to avoid that pain again :) [01:58] ere4si: Ok, thanks, I'll ask if I have a problem here I guess (ugh ;) [01:58] blockcipher, i have no issues read/writing ntfs.. :) or you could use ext2/3 and let windows read it with those drivers [01:59] :) [01:59] !ext2 [01:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:59] ubuntu is great, i was able to install kubuntu-desktop and remove 99% of the KDE apps and keep mostly just gnome apps or universal apps. and still try kde! [01:59] !ext3 | blockcipher [01:59] blockcipher: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux.

[03:18] It says i have missing packages [03:18] guess I'll go check the ppc channel [03:19] sami: all fonts should go in the one dir - click the help button in the panel and search fonts [03:19] why doesn't Ubuntu installer automaticly create separate /home partition. ot have the option, not just full hdd or manual [03:19] how do you find out your ip address from the terminal, when i type ifconfig, i only see the one that the router gives [03:20] google what is my ip [03:20] ip addr [03:20] slugz: www-browser www.whatismyip.com [03:20] Azondon - that is under custom when u partition [03:20] slugz * www-browser http://www.whatismyip.com [03:21] *thinks it would be cool to an ubuntu based firewall/nat distro [03:21] Oh, I didn't know Ubuntu used tiny vim >.< [03:21] simplyseth, if you know how to remaster ubuntu's iso's you could easily do it yourself :) [03:21] thanks guys! [03:22] Alan_M: sounds tempting :) [03:22] Beauty of linux :) [03:22] SimplySeth: why make a separate distro? [03:22] because it would teach you about a lot of things...how the kernels inerts work. [03:23] i guess im just a geek who loves messing with linux and making new stuff :) [03:23] haha, I wish i still had time to do that [03:23] can someone help me install libwnck18 for emerald [03:24] hello [03:24] !hi | Optimus55 [03:24] Optimus55: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[03:26] hi! i need a help, i want to resize my ubuntu partition for the winxp ntfs drive as it needs for space. i tried partition magic in xp or gparted in ubuntu, but it seems that the ext3 is locked. any help will be appreciated. thx [03:26] s/strang/strange/ [03:26] konner: do some googling, somebody's likely done it. what version of ubuntu do you have? [03:26] you're not trying to resize a partition on a mounted drive are you? [03:27] 7.10 gusty [03:27] @konner - did you get the priv msg? [03:27] yeah [03:27] did you try it [03:28] ?

[03:28] konner: 7.10 do emerald fine [03:28] *should do [03:28] How come i cant install it [03:29] anybody gotta realtek NIC ? [03:29] did you do an in-place upgrade from an older version? [03:29] no [03:29] So, I have a stupid question. Why is it that I have a /dev/sequencer but it doesn't seem to work? [03:29] it came like this [03:29] how do you make ubuntu share its Wifi- or connect to both at the same time- and not share the internet. [03:29] Dravas`: I found some info on atheros wireless cards [03:29] jahisthebalance: yes ... i want to resize this mounted drive for the winxp ntfs [03:29] under ubuntu [03:30] SimplySeth: sure RTL-8029 [03:30] yes? [03:30] elfprince13, it seemed to work but now on the reboot it says "error loading operating system" [03:30] oops [03:30] dang [03:30] Dravas`: try the madwifi package [03:30] well I'm not an expert, but the thing to do would be to run gparted off of your livecd [03:30] hi All. [03:30] jahisthebalance: i only gave 10gb for winxp when i created partition for ubuntu ..now i need more space for winxp ... any chance? [03:30] How is everyone doing? [03:31] its pretty hard to fubar a whole install without premeditation [03:31] mk [03:31] Dravas`: if you're wireless card is newer than it supports, there's directions here for building a newer version: http://hamzakc.wordpress.com/2006/12/11/atheros-wireless-setup-ubuntu/ [03:31] jahisthebalance: you mean i should run gparted on livecd ? [03:31] hash..........>lol [03:31] I have completely killed my GStreamer somehow....how do I completely remove it and install it again without losing ALL of my programs that use it. (its so messed up the volume program is giving errors) [03:31] sean_: can you get to grub? [03:31] word [03:31] okay .. is there a command that shows me what dependencies apt has ? [03:32] elfprince13, i found an old live cd [03:32] * beautifulsnow asks if it's possible to install the gnome based add/remove in Kubuntu, and if so, what's the application name for it ^_^ [03:32] beautifulsnow: synaptic ? [03:32] elfprince13, but i cant get to grub [03:32] yeah man, if you have the livecd boot into that and you should be able to play with the partitions somewhat... if the hard disk is mounted you won't be able to do too much [03:33] SimplySeth, no, the one you get when you go Start->Add/Remove [03:33] ere4si: wtf happened to standards? ubuntu wont take pcfs [03:33] sami: pcfs? [03:33] sean_: did you try following the directions for a livecd instead? [03:33] jahisthebalance: ok i will try ... but one question ..does this will affect anything ? [03:34] ere4si: standard *nix font sets [03:34] Hi, I'm back [03:34] nu2.......it's always wise to backup all [03:34] sami: if it is astandard *nix then it will [03:35] !wtf | sami [03:35] Hey, my hard drive is on the fritz... disk usage is more than it should be[afaik], by gigs [03:35] sami: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:35] No it wont. One main font dir is weird enough [03:35] well you are going to be playing with your data in a very direct way, I skip dual boot altogether and just use virtualbox for the four or five things I "need" windows for... you can mess with the virtual partitions that it sets up a lot easier... [03:36] sami: I don't bother with fonts - sorry - just know the basics === lkthomas2 is now known as lkthomas [03:36] Rutoro? Hashbangfoo? [03:36] jahisthebalance: i'm on a laptop....i had to have winxp installed anyway [03:36] wha === rilo_ is now known as rilo [03:36] jahisthebalance: i would love to have winxp on virtualbox...but i think i dont have enough space for that [03:36] Ubuntu on PS3...?

[03:37] snypzz: has its own channel [03:37] <_mastro_> can i promote my brainstorming idea? === _mastro_ is now known as mastro [03:37] I am trying to put Ubuntu on my ps3 [03:38] beautifulsnow: does the same .. but mebbe its now what you were lookin' fer [03:38] mastro: This channel is only for support questions, you can chat about Ubuntu in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:38] anyone out there doing that? === Num43 is now known as Num43|Sleep [03:38] beautifulsnow: you probably lookin' fer aptitude-gnome or something [03:38] snypzz: #ubuntu-ps3 [03:38] snypzz: i own a PS3, but haven't futzed with Ubuntu on it yet [03:38] Pici, ok thanks [03:39] in any event, the thing to do is go run defrag in windowsxp about two or three times [03:39] boot into the live cd and run gparted [03:39] SimplySeth: maybe that's it. I'll give it a try, thanks! [03:39] back up the important stuff before all that [03:40] gotta go drink beer with the neighbor [03:40] How would I end a specific Xserver? [03:40] SimplySeth: Figured it out, it's called gnome-app-install ^^ [03:40] then nu2ubuntu: you should be good to go [03:41] guys, anyone SOUND HELP -- can't get my sound to work again, was just working yesterday.. dont know what happened.. drivers fine, recognizes card, but still nooo sound!?

[03:43] I need some help. Ive killed gstreamer and need help getting it going again. gstreamer...not its plugins or codecs but gstreamer [03:44] hi, i have a wireless network setup with wpa2 security, but for some reason whenever i try connect to it from my laptop, i am asked for my key and when i put it in, it tried to connect but just asks me for the password again-- the password is correct, i can connect to unsecure networks, i even tried the howto on the forums..

[03:48] iobelisk: try again [03:48] barmin, use the vesa driver then install 'envy' and it will auto install the ATI drivers for you and setup Xserver [03:48] What program makes the mouse cursors appear in Ubuntu? [03:49] usser, yes i will, i hope it works, be back in a minute, thanks! [03:49] Cromag, did it ask you to reboot?

[03:50] does anyone know of a good bandwidth monitor for ubuntu ... something like netmedic or dumeter for windows? [03:50] dangermike: Ok, I'll try it. When it asks for the BUS, what do I put in? I guess that's why it tells me it didn't detect any screen. I have an Inspiron 6400 with a Mobility x1400 [03:50] iobelisk: actually I didn't manage to make it play with wpa2 so I just set it to wpa [03:50] i am trying to make a udf disc with blank DVD-RAM discs i got. i did it before, cant remember how to now [03:50] What program makes the mouse cursors appear in Ubuntu? [03:50] Cromag, I'm pretty sure you have to reboot before they get used [03:50] just installed moblock and ran the test for it. it said it succeeded do i need to do anything else. and how can i check that iptables rules comply with whatever they are supposed to? [03:50] barmin just hit enter leave all the default settings using the simple option for the monitor [03:51] googlingtingwana: ok, i'll try.

[03:52] Hi === ryan_boy is now known as bad_boy [03:52] usser, to change it to wpa? yes i did [03:52] iobelisk: hm and still no luck [03:52] usser, is this a known issue, about wpa2? [03:52] how can i remove all current rules in iptables? [03:52] dangermike: Ok. What if it tells me again it didn't find any screens? What does it mean, or what do I do from there?

[03:53] barmin i would use a live cd and if it can start x copy over the xorg.conf reboot, after removing the cd, and install envy [03:53] iobelisk: I think it's a problem with network manager, and general immaturity of linux wifi stack [03:53] * SimplySeth has an install of ubuntu with no dpkg no apt no aptitude [03:54] !envy [03:54] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:54] Cromag, do you happen to have experience with iptables? [03:54] iobelisk: you can actually make it work but you have to get you hands dirty [03:54] usser, i see, so this is an issue with the linux kernel, not just ubuntu? [03:54] dangermike, how did you create a new firefox profile? [03:54] hischild: not to much no, only for home use [03:54] Cromag, alright ... thanks :-) [03:54] np :) [03:54] $ lynx -dump http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/index.rdf | egrep '[a-z]' [03:54] Binary file (standard input) matches [03:54] usser, well, i tried editing wpa_supplicant.conf and network/interfaces.. but i could not get it to work [03:54] Cromag, I think I missed a bit ... you tried to enable the restricted driver, but it didn't "stick"? [03:54] i'm havine a strange problem in gnome/compiz-fusion. whenever i boot, and log in to X it definitely is taking longer for a workable desktop environment to appear. i haven't changed any setting. And increasingly, i'll have my desktop and icons, but the gnome-panel will fail to appear for up to half a minute, or not at all altogether. it takes about that long also for the desktop to become responsive to clicks. anyone know what's goin [03:54] g on? [03:55] kostkon its uninstalled now but its in the man pages either -p or -ProfileManager ..i thinkk :\ [03:55] iobelisk: even with wpa-supplicant eh? === ganteng is now known as bad_boy [03:55] dangermike: I'm precisely trying to boot from a liveCD I don't have Ubuntu installed yet. And it seems as it can't find the driver for my Wifi adapter, so I can't install envy from the console. [03:55] the rss file is zipped. anyone can try that command to me? [03:55] googlingtingwana: correct, BUT, i actually restarted and tried again, and NOW it sticks and wants me to reboot after some "install". Waiting to see the result. [03:55] dangermike: Whatever, gonna try again. Thank you! [03:55] I have tried with debian. but it didnt work [03:55] hi, having trouble with spdif on my audigy 2. anyone have experience with this?

[03:57] can anyone in here help me out...im trying to install flashplayer-nonfree plugin but i keep getting errors [03:57] usser, yes, but i wonder if i put the interface correctly-- iwconfig gives me eth1 as my wireless interface, but when i edit /network/interfaces and then restart network i get an error for eth1 [03:57] Daisuke_Ido i pm'ed it to him [03:57] when i try to extract a zip archive i made with winzip (i think 9.0) with file-roller, it gives me an error for all the files "unsupported compression method 99".

[03:57] the spdif on my audigy 2 just stopped working out of nowhere. ac3 passthrough still works, and analog out also works. any advice?

[04:15] aight ty will try it [04:15] I'm still kind of confused after reading some of these docs [04:15] googlingtingwana i didn't mean sync/flush to disk, but to clear the cache altogether. like, you know, if you have something cached it loads faster, i want to clear the cache to see how long something would take to load from just having booted up, without having to reboot. [04:15] AtomicSpark, I answered the wrong handle by mistake [04:15] what is the first step [04:15] For the life of me, I can't figure out how to download the madwifi driver [04:15] I want to get a mentor and work on some packages [04:15] googlingtingwana: ah thats fine :) just checking.

[04:22] Zyferian: after that try with restricted drivers. [04:22] yea i tried text mode, no worky...what exactly is ctrl alt f1 supposed to do? [04:22] show all the status like in the old versions?

[04:25] bluefoxx: something like dd if=/dev/fd of=/pathtoimage [04:25] Fwblean: Yeah, th instructions that come with Ubuntu are wrong --- you have to do two things [04:25] <__mikem> Hey Flannel did I tell you, I FINALLY have a native install of ubuntu [04:25] __mikem: glad to hear it [04:25] dangermike: i see that. i am stating the reason i wish to know, incase someone has a better way. ok, thanks [04:25] KEROLiUKAS-> after you make a selection from the menu [04:25] Fwblean: So, first, enable the default thing under system --> prefs --> remote desktop [04:25] hey so i found out that i may want to unload bluetooth, firewire, and usb [04:25] Okay Flannel . [04:25] amenado : all right thanks...ill go try [04:25] Fwblean: do you have vnc server installed? not just the client! wait ubuntu desktop. its built in! do waht CPU says [04:26] Didn't know.

[04:26] when i try to rmmod those modules it says that it doesn't exist in /proc/modules, do you guys have any idea why [04:26] AtomicSpark: No, it's not built in - Ubuntu definitely half assed the VNC stuff [04:26] they show up in lsmod [04:26] Is there not a madwifi deb? I can't install madwifi from teh repositories? [04:26] Zyferian: thats because it got installed somehow then, is this in the restricted drivers window ? [04:26] Fwblean: Once you do that, you need to actually setup a VNC server so you can VNC in when nobody else is logged in [04:26] i need help please i just installed ubunut everything working perfect except one thing i installed a visual effect and was working fine the windows would wobble wen i grabbed them etc.. i kept meesing around with it to get the 3-d cube and now the visual effect says none and when i try putting extra it says desktop effects could not be endab le please help and thanks.

[04:27] let me check that out [04:27] Zyferian: or at least try :) [04:27] Cpudan80: I setup xtightvnc using apt-get [04:27] efren30: Probably best to wait something like 15 minutes in-between instead of just a couple [04:27] cromag then it just gives that message... doesn't get any farther... [04:27] Fwblean: That might be wrong... [04:27] amenado, nope that works [04:27] how did you know that would work and how is it different [04:28] Cpudan80: What should I be using instead?

Enabled the restricted drivers and it worked. i did not mess with anything before that. After that i did a sudo nvidia-settings to fix screens.

[04:29] cromag I haven't touched anything before this either... for the record [04:29] bl3u i havent tried it with 7.10 but with nubuntu and it worked, meh you can get the deb from madwifi no biggie [04:29] Okay, thanks Cpudan80, lordleemo, I'll remove xtightvnc and see how vnc4server goes [04:29] tbrock i believe moprobe takes care of dependencies too [04:29] Fwblean: Either one would probably work --- but I know that that tutorial works in the end [04:29] Zyferian: thats weird, really... try and see what sudo nvidia-settings does. [04:29] bl3u, the madwifi software is available in one of the extra software sources - just enable it synaptic [04:29] awesome thanks man [04:29] Hi all [04:30] Fwblean: You may want to firewall off all ports but 5900 too [04:30] Just checking out Xchat on Xubuntu [04:30] cromag Command not found [04:30] Fwblean: Leaving the GDM open to the world isn't really a good idea [04:30] googlingtingwana: I don't have synaptic, just CLI.

[05:05] googlingtingwana: acutally, i went to youtube and tried watching a movie, it popped up saying i needed the pluing, and it installed for me and i watched the clip.. :) [05:05] Some_Person, no idea then. Could be the window manager has to do the seting. There is some old command that sets the x pointer.. but i dont rember what it is - havent used it in 5+ years. [05:05] good: ubuntu doesn't use run levels like that. It starts in run level 2, but X runs in 2-5 anyway. install bum , and use that to turn off gdm in run level 2 [05:06] jack-desktop-> when the firefox beta installed, was there a similar /usr/lib/firefox* directory for it? [05:06] amenado, agreed... I think in the day of gui apps as we're in ... it only makes sense ... not that 'screen' isn't extremely useful (it is) .. but I think it's time for an X version of the same thing [05:06] nickrud: thanks [05:06] amenado, there was a ~/firefox [05:06] .mozilla [05:06] Bossmanbeta-> ideas like yours keeps these developers and us users happier.. === steve__ is now known as vorian [05:07] Zyferian: i still need to be able to move my apps around between the windows.. but still 2 desktops.. [05:07] dangermike, sometimes if you run it from the shell it will dump out a stack trace, but it depends on whether it has any symbols [05:07] jack-desktop-> is that where you have the firefox beta installed? [05:07] Some_Person, doing some googling for info - found --> http://osdir.com/ml/xfree86.devel/2003-12/msg00271.html [05:07] amenado, indeed... only in the community can growth and happiness thrive :) [05:07] amenado, yes [05:07] cromag Yes... I would like to do that myself... let me know if you find a solution [05:07] jack-desktop:wowowowomg i got it yay i got the compiz setting i opened it what i do now? [05:07] Zyferian: i had one once hehe [05:07] efren30, what are you trying to do? [05:07] Does anyone know of a website were i can get a patch for pc games [05:07] cromag Wasn't one of those permanent types, eh? [05:08] so bossmanbeta you want, um, holy fricking frack, what was the name of the x server based on vnc...not finding it in the repos, but I swear I ran it 10 years ago. [05:08] Zyferian: huh ? - brb [05:08] jack-desktop:put the cube the flame writing the closing ash page [05:08] regeya, VNC and NX (nomachine) are whole-desktop solutions .... [05:08] My screen fades out after about ten minutes of inactivity, regardless of whether Compiz is active. I can't find any settings to change this in Power Management. How can I disable this or increase the time it takes before it fades? [05:08] efren30, press ctrl+alt+click your mouse to use the cube [05:08] is there a text-based alternative to "bum" for managing the runlevel scripts such as rc-update and chkconfig for gentoo and redhat/centos respectivelly.. ? [05:09] regeya, I'm looking for an application-specific detachability becuase I run remote and local apps on my local desktop ... I've tried VNC/NX... which work, but I have to size the whole-desktop down to just the single-application border... which is a needless pain in my opinion :) [05:09] bossmanbeta: I see...you want to be able to detach from the x server. [05:09] cant get 1680 x 1050 resolution help [05:09] efren30, fire you need to do super+shift+click mouse [05:09] googlingtingwana when i run from term i just get the seg fault thats it. I seen the debug flag section in the man pages but no actual flags to use, any you can recommend ? (firefox --gtk-debug=xxx) [05:09] amenado, jack-desktop, things are running by too fast for me to see what started your discussion, but does it have to do with placing plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla versus /usr/lib/firefox? [05:09] cromag Oh, if you had one once, you don't anymore... at least that was what I figured you meant [05:09] cool [05:09] regeya, precisely ... just like 'screen' offers for shell-based apps [05:09] ok, so i installed a new DVD burner recently, however, i still dont have a /dev/dvd entry in my system, it just connect the dvd burner to /dev/cdrom. how can i fix this? [05:09] googlingtingwana, no google, i'm tryng to get my java to work in firefox beta [05:09] he's taking a while getting back :\ [05:10] i hope the driver worked [05:10] jack-desktop-> then does it have a plugins directory? that is where you put a copy of that libjavaplugin.so or a symlink from /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so [05:10] regeya, you're thinkg of xmove? [05:10] bluefoxx my dvd player is listed as /dev/cdrom [05:10] regeya, that buggy-not-working-POS ? :-) [05:10] Some_Person: what does /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme say? [05:10] Some_Person xsetroot --help [05:10] folks, Gnome doesn't load for me, says "Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid."... [05:10] Some_Person xsetroot -cursor_name [05:10] dangermike: yea, but i need it to be /dev/dvd, some programs are refusing to use it otherwise [05:10] googlingtingwana-> yes, he is looking for libjavaplugin.so for the firefox beta [05:10] nickrud: Inherits=DMZ-White [05:10] Dr_willis: ok [05:10] Would anyone willing to help me configure LVM with the 7.06 ubuntu alt cd? I'm getting mixed messages as the live cd has an option to do so, but this guide shows that I should configure LVM _after_ installing? Any ideas welcome, thanks. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ [05:10] I am at the partitioning screen now with two disks completely free space [05:11] Some_Person: then that's not helping. See Dr_willis above though [05:11] dangermike, there's a firefox-dbg package which has symbols - you could try installing that to see if it provides more information from the crash [05:11] Some_Person, and i got NO idea where ya get the name from. :) [05:11] Bossmanbeta: heh, I did a search, and that came up...to tell the truth, Bossmanbeta, I use enough different OSes that detachable x apps just aren't an issue for me. [05:11] googlingtingwana awesome! ill look for that [05:11] Dr_willis: i'll try to figure it out [05:11] regeya, by that u mean you use rdesktop or citrix type stufff? [05:11] xsetroot -cursor ~/bits/shuttle.bm ~/bits/mask.bm [05:11] jack-desktop, not sure if it's related, but when I manually installed flash I had to put the plugin into /usr/lib/firefox, not /usr/lib/mozilla [05:11] Some_Person, guess its just a normal bitmap file. :) [05:12] Bossmanbeta-> i wonder what the embedded linux folks have for that.. they seem to be a good user or such features [05:12] and BTW, how can i trace a IP address over msn? some asstards are harassing a person whom happens to be very close to me...very bad harrassment...[creepy pedophelia stalker harrasment] [05:12] Dr_willis: bitmap? [05:12] bossmanbeta, I try to keep it cross-platform and open-source so it's by and large vnc [05:12] googlingtingwana, amenado thanks i got it working [05:12] and of course ssh for console apps [05:12] regeya, this is a very-specific need, I agree... but to me... for ssh to offer remote X-apps ability via the -Y option, to NOT be able to detach it (at least to provide survivability in case of disconnect) doesn't make sense to me [05:12] Some_Person, we are talking OLD skool :) [05:12] Anyone?.. Basically, Gnome refuses to load if I have an .xsession file in my ~/, even if the file is blank. Any tips on how to troubleshoot it? This is more or less a fresh install of Ubuntu [05:12] Are there programs for tn3270??? [05:13] jack-desktop-> where did you have to put that libjavaplugin.so? [05:13] Some_Person, http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/doc/ibitmap/ibitmap.html [05:13] regeya, VNC (or NX) is the only solution for the moment, and I just make a sour-puss while sizing the window down to the 1-application borders... [05:13] so how can i trance a IP address? [05:13] Some_Person, now ya know why i just install jwm or some other window manager and let it handle it. [05:13] Dr_willis: ok [05:13] bluefoxx: you can run some sort of a traffic sniffer on the machine that runs the IM [05:13] amenado, ~/firefox/plugins [05:13] bluefoxx: like wireshark [05:13] What's the diff b/t the server kernel and the generic kernel? [05:14] jack-desktop-> okay....let us know how it goes.. [05:14] so you're saying xmove isn't worth the effort, eh, Bossmanbeta :-> I guess I won't mess with it then (though I've often wanted such a thing) [05:14] Anyone up for a /dev question? [05:14] usser: i have that, it claimed no suitable interface to scan. [05:14] bl3u: preemption [05:14] regeya, oh by all means... tinker-away............. if you get it working, give me your paypal acct and I'll fwd a you're-super-smart tax that I must pay to all those that I'm not worthy to talk to :) [05:14] Would anyone willing to help me configure LVM with the 7.06 ubuntu alt cd? I'm getting mixed messages as the live cd has an option to do so, but this guide shows that I should configure LVM _after_ installing? Any ideas welcome, thanks. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ [05:14] Would anyone willing to help me configure LVM with the 7.06 ubuntu alt cd? I'm getting mixed messages as the live cd has an option to do so, but this guide shows that I should configure LVM _after_ installing? Any ideas welcome, thanks. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ [05:15] I am at the partitioning screen now with two disks completely free space [05:15] NewbieJohn-> we will respond if we knew the answer or led you to google :P [05:15] !patience soreau [05:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about patience soreau - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:15] zcat[1]: is that it? [05:15] !patience | soreau [05:15] soreau: You do it during partitioning [05:15] soreau: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:15] Right on, okay, so I'm trying to get DVD's to play on my computer using gxine [05:15] nickrud, (lol) [05:15] !flood | soreau [05:15] soreau: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:15] And part of this appears to be linking dvd to scd0 [05:15] still not back :\ [05:15] whoops [05:15] bluefoxx: eh, how do you connect to the internet? [05:15] unfortunately due to my misunderstanding of how to use "link" i managed to blow away my scd0 [05:15] and he's still not back [05:16] nickrud: I am a support team member in #cf but am about to ditch ubuntu and use another distro [05:16] so how do I recreate this without re-installing ubuntu [05:16] bl3u: afaik the only difference is that the desktop kernel has some preemption patch which makes the desktop feel 'snappier' at the slight expense of overall performance [05:16] regeya, xmove hasn't been touched since 1997...... 'nuff said :) [05:16] usser: ethernet [05:16] This channel is horridly flooded [05:16] bl3u, http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/3715071 has some comparison information [05:16] rpm's don't work in Ubuntu do they? [05:16] soreau: your choice. [05:16] googlingtingwana: thanks [05:16] bluefoxx: then you have an interface [05:16] Zyferian: no [05:16] Zyferian: now it works for me, i enabled the XineRama option in the same place.. [05:16] usser: i know that... [05:16] soreau, good luck with that. I had lvm2 set up on a machine at work, and ended up making the machine a debian etch machine rather than drop lvm2 or hacking on the danged thing... [05:16] Has anyone here played yahoo games on their ubuntu OS yet? I can't get mine to work [05:16] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/Pichu0102/Screenshot-SystemMonitor.png Is this normal after browsing for a few hours? [05:17] soreau: I aleady told you. You do it during partitioning. Partition them as LVM partitions, then go up to the LVM manager thing and setup your VGs and LVs [05:17] have tried tutorials for installing java and I think it's installed but still not working [05:17] berlylabs, depends on the game. Ive gotten many to work with wine. [05:17] zcat[1]: so if i'm setting up a home fileserver, i should be fine using -generic? [05:17] How can i deny other users access to firefox and give access to the root only. [05:17] Bossmanbeta: heh, in 1997 I wasn't exactly following things like xmove :-) [05:17] NewbieJohn-> there use to be a MAKEDEV in /dev/ dont know if that still exist, run it and it creates all the dev it needs, but if its using udev now...not sure what the equivalent is [05:17] Zyferian: its a small checkbox i would call it... and now i need my REAL charset hehe :P [05:17] bluefoxx: you have to run it using sudo [05:17] dr_willis: I"m trying to get spades in particular [05:17] Flannel: Please elaborate [05:17] Flannel: This is my last hope [05:17] usser: ah, that explains it lol [05:17] hi [05:17] bl3u: I don't think there's any noticable difference unless your server's handling mad-high loads [05:17] * bluefoxx tries wireshark again [05:17] I am at the partitioning screen now with two disks completely free space [05:17] soreau: There's nothing else to elaborate on. Partition them in the partitioner as lvm type, then scroll up to the top, to the LVM manager orwhatnot, and enter that. [05:17] cromag Oh, perfect... that is right, awesome. I need a better background that big... heh [05:17] regeya, 1997 was a blur ... the dot.com bubble days [05:18] berlylabs, if its a downloadeable/exexutable - it may work with wine. Other then that.. good luck. :) ive seen a lot that DONT work with wine also. since they are some how flash-based in a weird way [05:18] zcat[1]: Cool. Generic it is [05:18] Zyferian: hah yes :) me to :P Devianart ftw. [05:18] what is wine? [05:18] Flannel: I would not be asking for help if I was not confused.. [05:18] How can i deny other users access to firefox and give access to the root only? [05:18] Okay, so i'm trying to make ubuntu appear more user friendly for mac users by using mac4lin; On linux-live.org it says to build the aufs kernel module. I tried their precompiled kernel and it kept giving me this error that if I googled came up nothing. [05:18] but now i cant start a normal terminal anymore... [05:18] !wine | berylabs [05:18] berylabs: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [05:18] !wine > berlylabs (see pm) [05:18] so the good news is that makedev works [05:18] bluefoxx: and you should be able to manually specify the interface to capture on just go to capture->interfaces [05:18] How would I go about "compiling the aufs kernel module"? [05:18] it puts them in .static/dev/ [05:18] soreau: Well, like I said, create partitions (one per drive) as type LVM. [05:18] cromag I still can. [05:18] Flannel: I have in the partitioner two drives hda and hdb as free space [05:18] the bad news is that it didn't recreate a scd0 [05:19] hello folks [05:19] Zyferian: well, gonna trouble shoot for it.. [05:19] Flannel: Ok, I will attempt this .. [05:19] im trying to install ubuntu 7.01 but when im in select partition the old partitions werent detected,how can i solve this cuz i have a created partition already and i cant see it in this installation window? anyone pls? [05:19] usser: kk, tyvm [05:19] soreau: you'll need to set up your partitions manually. if I recalled what the install screen said, I could step you through it...but I don't remember, sorry :-( I did most of the setup on a work machine last time back...well, over a year ago. [05:19] NewbieJohn-> brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2008-02-26 23:23 /dev/scd0 on mine [05:19] bluefoxx: no problem [05:19] what else can i use to manage the desktop besides nautilus or xfdesktop [05:20] regeya: I'm right on the edge of accomplishing this task .. any further ideas are welcomed [05:20] NewbieJohn-> i think if your reboot, it may recreate all those /dev/xxx thats needed..i forgot where i read that from [05:20] Does anyone know whether "The Revolution OS" (http://thelinuxway.blogspot.com/2007/10/revolution-os-video-story-of-linux.html) is available as a torrent somewhere? Thanks! [05:20] yoh [05:20] anyone care to help me? [05:20] sweetsinse: openbox , blackbox , fluxbox , waimea . search synaptic for window manager [05:20] soreau: Oh sorry, forgot one thing. Create a small ext3 partition as well. You need /boot to be not in LVM [05:20] !piracy | Odd-rationale [05:20] okay, here's an alternative plan [05:20] i am using compiz [05:20] No one knows how? [05:20] !warez | Odd-rationale [05:20] Odd-rationale: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [05:20] in xubuntu [05:20] i thought there was a separate app that drew the desktop [05:20] Can someone run a "file" command on their /dev/scd0 and tell me what it returns? [05:20] I thought that video was in the gpl. :) [05:21] is it? [05:21] Flannel: Hmm... [05:21] because that might just be a link to another file [05:21] It probably ought to be :) [05:21] sorry, my 'torrenting movies' detector went off ;-) [05:21] zcat[1]: Oh, the video is not free? [05:21] at least i THINK its under some open license [05:21] cromag Did you get Flash working then? [05:21] I bet some googling will find out. [05:21] where can I get a pirate copy of ubuntu please? [05:21] NewbieJohn-> from what i pasted it should be a block device [05:21] lmao [05:21] frogzoo! LOL! [05:21] Frogzoo, in #debian-warez [05:21] Zyferian: yeah, just visit yuotube [05:21] zcat[1]: sorry. [05:21] NewbieJohn-> brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2008-02-26 23:23 /dev/scd0 on mine [05:21] is there a way to make thunar handle the desktop? mainly to get the rectangle when you drag [05:21] soreau: So, make three partitions. One small one formated ext3, then two large ones with LVM type [05:21] yoh [05:21] Dr_willis: Hey! I found the X cursor: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/cursor.pcf.gz [05:22] Flannel: I have ext3 mount point / opts default label none but how big does the boot part need to be? [05:22] Some_Person, there ya go. :) [05:22] well, holy moly, revolution os is on google video. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7707585592627775409 [05:22] okay, I'll try the reboot option [05:22] How would i get it to work using wine, I see the ubuntu thing but what file would i run on wine [05:22] Thanks! [05:22] which part of ubuntu installation to select the right partition to install? [05:22] cromag Which one did you install? [05:22] Some_Person, now edit it to look like a ... err... somthing else. :) [05:22] soreau: No, all those will be in LVM. You just want /boot off of LVM. It only has to be a few hundred megs [05:22] Flannel: I cannot find the where to set the LVM type yet [05:22] Zyferian: visit youtube and it will do it for you. [05:22] Flannel: How many hundred? [05:22] what is the environment variable for libraries ? [05:22] regeya: please pay attention to fair use next time. ;-) [05:22] soreau: one should be fine, two is definately sufficient [05:23] * RedHeron gives regeya a hard time because torrent !== illegal. [05:23] How can i deny other users access to firefox and give access to the root only? [05:23] isn't !== redundant? just need (1) = [05:23] SimplySeth-> env | less to see which one you need [05:23] amenado: thanks [05:23] RedHeron, this is one of the times I wish moderators would turn a blind eye for a couple of minutes. [05:23] Flannel: gotcha. I will be in touch [05:23] ntolo: unwise (going online and especially running firefox as root) [05:23] hah [05:23] Bossmanbeta: Depends on the syntax... that's PHP syntax. [05:24] torrent=safe unless the CONTENTS of the torrent are illegal. [05:24] bossmanbeta (2) = 's means logically equivalent to... for the record [05:24] RedHeron: because I would tear you a new one for assuming that I wouldn't know that. [05:24] RedHeron, ah..... in SQL it's != [05:24] Flannel or Cromag help me pls? when i click Places then Computer i can see the partitions but when i double click INSTALL icon in the desktop,reaching at the Select Partition window,all i see is just /dev/sda and no more specific partition like /dev/sda5 or /dev/sda1, how can i solve this? [05:24] Does anybody know what could be wrong when anything using the Mozilla engine seg faults galeon, epiphany, firefox versions 2.0.0.6 & 2.0.0.12 as well as version 3 all seg fault? [05:24] regeya: Assuming? No. Just making fun. :D [05:24] Bossmanbeta: Right, but in PHP, a single "=" means "store the left into the right". [05:25] Flannel: This bootable will be at mount point '/' correct? [05:25] RedHeron: I'm sick and tired of pretentious kiddies trying to act like they know more than me when I slip. Whoopsie! I assumed that because Revolution OS was on DVD, and because someone was asking for torrents of the movie, that they were pirating something. Let's make fun of the ignorant guy! [05:25] RedHeron, :) well not being a php-person, we just spoke past each other, is all........ :-) [05:25] soreau: bootable flags don't matter [05:25] regeya: permission to PM? [05:25] * regeya thanks ${DEITY} for /ignore [05:25] but...thats sliding towards off topic [05:25] or even past off topic [05:25] soreau: Oh, /boot is mount point /boot [05:25] Bossmanbeta: Yep. [05:25] RedHeron: two words, the second is 'no.' [05:25] Flannel: ok [05:26] cromag Dang... that Flash is buggy as all get out [05:26] regeya: I find your attitude hostile and unproductively unhelpful... I'm not allowed to make a joke, apparently. [05:26] Daisuke_Idd: I mean the root should be the only one to execute the firefox command. [05:26] regeya: just readling the rev-os website I can't see anything that says it's CC or otherwise available for free.. [05:26] Flannel: I have now 197.4 MB ext3 /boot. How do I partition the rest? [05:26] the flash fix was put in the repositories i thought zyferian [05:27] (two other drives) [05:27] soreau: create them, make them LVM type [05:27] yoh [05:27] alan_m not sure, I'm having issues with it [05:27] Flannel: I will attempt [05:27] Zyferian: its buggy ? i havent checked. [05:27] i fresh insttalled ubuntu..and enabled the restricted extras and havent had problems ;) [05:27] apt and aptitude are not finding my variables [05:27] my libraries* [05:27] can anyone see my message? [05:28] Flannel: Selected 'primary', now I do not see where to set the type 'LVM' [05:28] hellppmme: yes [05:28] hellppmme: yes, [05:28] ok [05:28] hellppmme, No... err..i mean yes.. :) [05:28] soreau: You need to edit the partition (like where you set the mount point) and change the type to LVM [05:28] ok [05:28] what about my previous message above? can someone help me with my problem pls? [05:28] * Alan_M thwaps Dr_willis across the wrists [05:28] ok. license on the Revolution OS DVD is: "This DVD is for private home viewing only. It is not licensed for any other use. All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized copying, public exhibition, and broadcast are strictly prohibited.” So yes, torrenting this is PIRACY. [05:28] alan_m Did you just download it specially? Or what? And which repositories was it in? [05:29] i downloaded it using the regular repositories that shipped with the cd. [05:29] Zyferian: going to bed now.. [05:29] regeya: yeah, that's what I thought too.. I can't find any reference to it being free, anywhere.. [05:29] Sat Mar 1 06:29:17 CET 2008 [05:29] cromag Night, man... good luck... be seeing ya around [05:29] regeya, so you can Not watch it with your friends.. or on the bus, or anywhere else theres another person. :) [05:29] regeya: please let it drop ... [05:29] Zyferian: we will, nite. [05:29] Flannel: It says 'Mount point for this partition' but no LVM option now. Though it had an option for LVM groups before deleting these partitions [05:29] im assuming its in multiverse zyferian, but i used add/remove to get it. [05:29] Sorry, guys. I assumed that because it was about FSF/Linux that the dvd was free. I'll be more careful next time... [05:30] when i go to yahoo games i get This game cannot be played using your current settings. Please, try the following: Check to make sure that java is enabled in your browser. (learn more) If you do not have java installed you may download it here. To learn more about java support for browsers, visit our help pages. But if I go there and then check to see that i have java, it says i do [05:30] soreau: no, no. You odn't change the mount point, you change the partition type. Same screen though. Don't select a mount point [05:30] alan_m Alright, I'll try that then [05:30] hellppmme: Yes. [05:30] Odd-rationale: It's on youtube though... the quality won't be great :) [05:30] Flannel: I am in no hurry, I am listening to you [05:30] RedHeron: can you help me? [05:31] alan_m wait, add/remove? [05:31] !netsplit [05:31] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [05:31] oho [05:31] Oh yay.. DeCeeCee again? [05:31] Netsplits are becoming more common nowadays... [05:32] that netsplit probably looked a whole lot more impressive from the other side :D [05:32] yeah [05:32] zcat[1]: I think that people assume that because it's...*sigh* wow, several people have responded to me, and I'm not supposed to respond...okay, once again, *I'm* the one called on the carpet for being OT. OK, just so I don't get banned for 24 hours again, I'll wrap it up by saying that sounds like a pretty standard copyright statement, and that people assume that somehting's free because it's about free software. so I'm [05:32] going to be a good little boy and drop it now. please leave me alon. all I did was respond to someone wanting to pirate, then repsonded to someone calling me ignorant. Pardon me for caring. :-> [05:32] Flannel: I found this option: physical volume for LVM and physical volume for RAID. Which should I chose ? [05:32] Daisuke_Ido, it looks the same from both sides :) [05:32] soreau: PV for LVM [05:32] thanks [05:32] they should have virtual IP's for IRC servers with failover ability to ensure connectivity [05:32] soreau: you plan to use LVM? [05:32] Flannel: Bootable flag now? (on|off) [05:32] Afk for a while [05:32] Alan_M: but it doesn't. there's a whole lot more quits from the other side (900+) [05:33] mneptok: yes [05:33] Bossmanbeta: You're talking about adding features to IRC??? [05:33] soreau: keep /boot *out* of the LVM [05:33] regeya: I'm on your side.. I said it wasn't CC first. [05:33] soreau: no. Modern OSs don't care about bootables [05:33] RedHeron, lol ... who, me? [05:33] mneptok: He is. [05:33] well if you want to put it that way..you are correct. [05:33] mneptok: We already got that far [05:33] soreau: excellent [05:33] Flannel: Great [05:33] i am a network administrator for a small irc network, ive seen that so many times its almost funny. [05:33] soreau: Once you've done that, go back to the volume group thing. [05:33] RedHeron, hey if it were up to me.. I'd run them off independently off large VM's and mirror them [05:34] Flannel: ok [05:34] How would I use linux-live to make a custom ubuntu cd? I have a laptop with ubuntu installed and everything configured the way I want it; just, linux-live is bitching at me, claiming it can't copy aufs from it's precompiled kernel they provided. [05:34] Bossmanbeta: That would be fun to set up. :-) [05:34] pbjman: what is your goal? [05:34] * soreau hopes it is not frozen [05:35] and...their slowly coming back. [05:35] pbjman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [05:35] RedHeron, imagine it ... virtual IP connections with fully transparent TCP stacks mirroring to VMs.... it'd be like RAIDing the IRC :-) [05:35] Flannel: I will read this msg now, sec [05:35] pbjman: a system that's easy to resetup in case of reinstallation? [05:35] Bossmanbeta: I know... I was thinking about redundancy. [05:35] Redundant Array of IRC Discussion? [05:35] Random array of irc discussion. [05:35] :P [05:36] or .. we can just enjoy the netsplits like we did in the 1990s and enjoy the little bit of nostalgia we have left............. :-) [05:36] Bossmanbeta: But then the fun part would be tunneling protocols and obtaining a QoS guarantee for IRC relays on every continent. :-) [05:36] Flannel: Ok, it just warns that I cannot undo what i am doing ;) [05:36] !offtopic | all (but funny anyway) [05:36] all (but funny anyway): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

Put Riverbed WAN (WAAS) acceleration devices at the edge routers ...end of QoS [05:37] Flannel: Shows me LVM Summary .. do you need to review this output? [05:37] ugh, i wish i'd ripped all my cd's as ogg, rencoding 5gb of mp3's to ogg is going to take a while :P [05:37] RedHeron, 1991 for me..........

You can name it anything you'd like, but usually people just do vg00 or something similar. (VG for volume group) [05:38] * RedHeron does run an IRCd for developmental purposes on his Ubuntu box, FWIW. [05:38] RedHeron, ... of course... I will go to my ATM in fantasyland (where we're building this monument to IRC'dom) and withdraw the funnymoney for it.. or maybe I'll enter next year's WSOP and go all in on a 7/2 offsuit :-) [05:38] RedHeron, ... of course...

Welcome! [05:38] jscinoz: I reripped all mine. This time I chose .flac [05:38] boom shockalocka [05:38] whee! [05:39] that was FUN! [05:39] can anyone help me burn the iso to a cd? [05:39] !iso > uno [05:39] ya?

[05:39] soreau: I wouldn't name it RAID, since that could get confusing [05:39] Flannel: Damn this split [05:39] Heh... someone's mad at an IRC server. [05:40] !iso [05:40] Flannel: Ok, then LVM then [05:40] dude, i hate when they freaking do their maintenance [05:40] drives me nuts. [05:40] that or someone tripped over the wrong wire [05:40] someone spilt their coffee [05:40] soreau: I damn thee, split! [05:40] uno: not a good factoid, sorry. You burning this in windows? ifrarecorder works well, it's free. Write it as a cd image [05:40] sorry, i watched the jerk yesterday [05:40] its probably server maintenance guys, just relax :) [05:40] soreau: suggest vg00 or vg0 or something. Nothing too long, since ... you'll be concating these things together [05:40] relax and enjoy the ride :) [05:40] Flannel: I'm now confused about which File System I will be using [05:40] uno: from Windows or Linux?

[05:41] uno: did you check the md5sum of your download? [05:41] (Virtual Group?) [05:41] i'v made sure the md5 sum is the same [05:41] Alan_M: please move the netadmin discussion elsewhere. [05:41] jscinoz: bad idea re-encoding mp3 -> ogg. Re-rip if you must do taht; you'll end up with files that are far lower quality than ogg provides if you rtransencode, and vorbis is about as good as faac in the quality dept. and be sure to use sound juicer, the ripper of ubuntu! (keeping it on-topic.) [05:41] i'v burned the cd at 4x [05:41] and 2x [05:41] soreau: You create a volume group, that volume group is a virtual disk, as far as we're concerned. Then we'll create logical volumes ontop of that, which mimic partitions if we were doing this outside of LVM. They can be whatever sort of filesystem you like. Ubuntu uses ext3 by default. [05:41] what's with all the offtopic police.... [05:41] regeya, what about mp3 > flac? [05:41] soreau: volume group [05:42] self-made deputys i tell ya [05:42] uno: have you tried: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm [05:42] Bossmanbeta: look at the channel. and this is quiet. [05:42] mneptok, if you have been reading, i actually DID move that discussion elsewhere and moved on...but thanks for paying attention :) [05:42] heh uno You've made sure you wrote it as an image? When you look at it in windows, it's not just one file on the cd? [05:42] Okay, seriously... where do I find a list of MD5sums to match against, say, /bin/login to make sure it hasn't changed? [05:42] sorry, mneptok ? [05:42] Alan_M: 00:40 < Alan_M> relax and enjoy the ride :) [05:42] Flannel: ubuntu uses ext3 by default. thanks [05:42] Bossmanbeta: Feel free to PM me or join one of the other channels. [05:42] ya i tried iso recorder [05:42] and...ubotu would say the same thing..so ubotu's going offtopic as well? [05:42] Bossmanbeta: there is a reason for keeping things on support only topics. please respect it. [05:42] ya i burn it as an image [05:42] when i brows the cd it is a bunch of files [05:43] Alan_M: last warning. [05:43] jscinoz: you'll end up with much larger files that sound remarkably like your mp3s. I'd just recommend gritting your teeth and either re-rip or keep using a non-free format. [05:43] uno: ok. Could be you need the alternate cd, some machines won't boot the live cd [05:43] >_< [05:43] well my brother burned ubuntu 7.04 and i got that working [05:43] oh man is floodbot flooding again? [05:43] but then the cd became currupt and it doesnt work anymore [05:44] jscinoz: ultimately, it's your choice. if you transcode to vorbis, and it sounds fine to you, by all means go for it :-> [05:44] TrustNoOne: it's aptly named then :) [05:44] uno: 7.04 is not 7.10 ... [05:44] jack-desktop:wich one is the button super? [05:44] i no but should it matter? [05:44] soreau, sorry to sidetrack you here .... if LVM still works as it used to, then you can add extra volumes on the fly at a later time ... if you are having trouble getting the partitions set up you could just use the "guided LVM (not encrypted)" option which will configure all of one of your drives [05:44] TrustNoOne: when I got banned for a day, it was for complaining about the floodbot. === kirby|busy is now known as Charitwo [05:44] uno it can, yes [05:44] thanks :) [05:44] efren30: The windows key [05:44] k [05:44] is there any way i can get 7.04? [05:44] soreau, ...later you could add the second drive [05:44] googlingtingwana: Your nick is really long lol [05:44] uno: releases.ubuntu.com/7.04 [05:44] #ubuntu-ops [05:45] crap [05:45] no one can help me making my custom ubuntu cd using linux-live? [05:45] brb [05:45] :( [05:45] anyone aware of a way of detaching a remote X application running via 'ssh -Y' for re-attaching later? (Just like 'screen' but for X apps) There's an old-old app called 'xmove' (last updated 1997) but it's very buggy and doesn't work. VNC and NX are whole-desktop solutions and doesn't work well when I want to run local & remote apps on a unified local desktop. [05:45] soreau, thank goodness for TAB, right? [05:45] hello, my ubuntu system is hanging at fsck, how can i resolve this: http://rafb.net/p/8Cjz6I95.html [05:45] Flannel: I pressed one wring button, now I am here at the Finish option [05:45] what in the world does apt need to find its own libraries ? [05:45] wrong* [05:45] googlingtingwana: Yes :D [05:45] soreau: go back? [05:46] ok i am downloading 7.04 ill see if that works thx [05:46] reZo: nothing after that line? um...I don't know...looks like all is well [05:46] soreau: You should be able to go back and just re-configure LVM. The VG should be there still I believe (although it may not be), but the PVs will be there. [05:46] Flannel: I will select 'Finish' now as my group name is VG0 [05:46] regeya: yeah, it hangs there, nothing after that line apart from the pointer blinking. [05:46] I set it up [05:46] * soreau crosses fingers [05:46] soreau: did you create at least one logical volume for /? [05:46] Flannel: I don't think so ;) [05:46] it's been like this for about 20 minutes now :S [05:46] sound is not coming when i play video.what to do now? [05:47] Ok, I think I see now [05:47] and it's happened for the last few boots, and hasn't gotten passed this point [05:47] Flannel: What should the logical volume name be? [05:48] Does anyone know where the "highlight mouse cursor when I press control" checkbox is on 7.10/gutsy gibbon? [05:48] Flannel: What should the logical volume name befor '/'? [05:48] soreau: You can name it whatever you like, I named mine lv-[partition] where [partition] is what I was going to use it for (lv-root, lv-home, etc) [05:48] (Preferences -> Mouse is missing the Cursors tab on my machine for some reason.) [05:48] Flannel: I am at this point now ... [05:49] Flannel: I am curious as to how it will show up in /dev [05:49] does ubuntu support listening to realaudio streaming? [05:50] I know this is ot but what is mode J [05:50] i have a problem, i tried to install the java doc, got some error in installing the doc, so i quite it, but now if i try to install any thing it again stop at that error thing that java doc could not be install, how i can fix that. [05:50] can anyone help me.sound is not coming?is this a problem with audio driver? [05:50] yao_ziyuan: I've had success on some streams with the mozilla-mplayer plugin, with the w32codecs [05:50] soreau: it's /dev/mapper/[VG]-[LV], or at least is in Dapper. It'll probably just show up as UUIDs in more recent versions [05:51] Flannel: You do not use even edgy eft, feisty fawn or dare i say gutsy? [05:51] and why does flood bot keep having to set mode +J then set -J a second later, then repeat the cycle a second later [05:51] (gibbon ;) [05:52] any good wma player which is simple and good like vlc [05:52] vrkhans, xmms [05:52] xmms doesnt play wma it only play mp3 [05:52] vrkhans, or audacious [05:52] does anyone now where i can get some jewel case cd inlays for glabels [05:53] * regeya /ignores the bots; remember kids, you can ignore the bots and it looks a lot less like a concerted bot attack to flood the channel [05:53] vrkhans, there's a plugin for xmms to play wma's [05:53] vrkhans: with the xmms-wma plugin, it does [05:53] Flannel: I see the max size as the addition of the two drives. YAY! [05:53] <[chr0n0s]> !ping [05:53] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [05:54] vrkhans, sudo apt-get install xmms-wma [05:54] regeya, how to ignore the bots? [05:54] i mean realaudio stream [05:54] not wma [05:54] Flannel: I hope it has not frozen up on me :( [05:54] looks like im' going to have to turn fsck checks up higher, or off, it's hanging for no reason, the file system is alright :S :( [05:54] yao_ziyuan: yes, that's what I was answering === cekonoha_girl is now known as dede [05:54] vrkhans: let's insert the "you're hosed if it's DRMed" bit now [05:55] padang [05:55] googlingtingwana: actually I noticed it's not working so I'm asking in #kubuntu for help with konversation [05:55] Who the hell controls the FloodBots and what do they do? [05:55] DRM went the way of betamax, HD-DVD and the dodo-bird [05:55] is it just me or is soundconverter really slow at reading tags. [05:56] enable universe repo [05:56] would having 0 space left on a hard drive, make fsck hang? [05:56] 's from command line? [05:56] anyone have any experiance with mdadm [05:56] ? [05:56] I've got an old XP box that I want to add Ubuntu to. It's got a single 160gb partition on C: and I want to resize that to make room for Ubuntu, but the partition is very fragmented with files all over the place. How should I go about creating a partition for Ubuntu? [05:57] soreau, apparently nobody, and apparently flood channels with -J/+J mode sets =) [05:57] there's no 'a' in "experience" [05:57] a question about partitioning. I would like to install ubuntu on one partition, and on another i wanted to install kubuntu with kde4, would i have problems if they were both to share a third partition /home ? [05:57] Zoiks, some, for raid-1 (mirror) [05:57] mikesa81: You don't have tohave separate installs for that. [05:57] i wanted to keep them physically seperated [05:57] thansk [05:57] mikesa81: don't think so [05:57] hypomnema: I looked it up, and that's join throttling. though I have no idea why one channel needs three bots to constantly toggle that setting. [05:57] how do i enable universe from the command line? [05:57] "terminal" [05:57] pyrak: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [05:57] mikesa81: You can add kubuntu to Ubuntu and swap at the logon screen [05:57] what about my other problem [05:58] they're the equivalent of a two year old who's learned how to operate the light switch. [05:58] Flannel: Erm .. I did this and now after 'Finish' it restarts the partitioner at which point I see hmm ... [05:58] sec :D [05:58] pyrak: remove the # from the beginning of the line with the universe repos [05:58] Flannel: i know i can have them both on, i wanted to keep one clean, and screw around with the other [05:58] Fwbean: see my msg above [05:59] mikesa81: the only drawback to sharing a home is that you'll have user configs for each in your homedir, not a big issue at all. [05:59] soreau, I assume you are using the "alternate" install/live CD, right? [05:59] mneptok, thanks [05:59] Flannel++ [05:59] mikesa81: you could also install KDE4 in the ~ of a seperate user, though you'de be building from SVN not from installing the packages [05:59] which is more techinical [05:59] and more buggy [05:59] googlingtingwana: Yes, I have got it, just need a swap part I forgot to add xD === dede is now known as naruto [06:00] pyrak: then go add a 0 to your gateway addy >:) [06:00] Flannel: they configs would be seperate for the most part, except some display drivers etc... right? === naruto is now known as sasuke [06:00] mneptok++ [06:00] googlingtingwana: im trying to make a raid 5 [06:00] * regeya turns the lightswitch on. regeya_ turns lightswitch off. regeya__ turns lightswitch on. regeya turns lightswitch off. regeya_ turns lightswitch on. regeya__ turns lightswitch off...

[06:00] mikesa81: display driver configs aren't in your home. Its just any user configurations you do, will both go in home. And yeah, they'll be mostly separate (because KDE and Gnome use different apps) [06:01] googlingtingwana: Ok, so what is recommended swap size? I have 256 MB of mem on this old box [06:01] googlingtingwana: i am running off a livecd [06:01] okay, so, good news, DVD support now works, bad news, my test DVD is "Freddie Vrs. Jason" [06:01] anyone know how to get yahoo games to work on gutsy gibbon [06:01] hey [06:01] soreau, 2*mem ... so 512MB [06:01] mikesa81: yeah, it's a PITA. But if it's the time factor you're worried about, there are ways around that [06:01] berlylabs: did you install java? [06:01] Flannel: ok, so that i'd have to set up twice, no biggy [06:01] googlingtingwana: That's how I usually config ubuntu, just asking, thanks! [06:02] my gawd [06:02] mneptok: as far as I know [06:02] hdevalence: PITA? [06:02] okay nickrud, though I would have complied without comment had you not privmsged me...cripes.

(I asked in xubuntu over 15 min ago but no one seems to be around) Thanks [06:03] is there a KBOOT command like PS3_1080i [06:03] Zoiks, I guess I should check whether you are trying to do hardware raid, software raid, or possibly "fake" raid? [06:03] mne: when i go to the java site, and ask it to see if i have it, it says i do [06:03] Okay- extremely sloppy, but no support otherwise- would it be possible to copy every directory (/bin/, /home/, etc) to a cd and boot from it on different pcs?

[06:06] vrkhans: you have to get the docs from the sun site, and copy them to /tmp so the installer can find them. [06:06] nickrud: thanks. i guess i'd be asked during installation? [06:06] vrkhans, post the error details in pastebin [06:07] mikesa81: yes, you can create as many swaps there as you like. But you'll need to edit /etc/fstab manually to use only one, I think [06:07] googlingtingwana: yeah it always builds straight away [06:07] Tigran: saw that site [06:07] not sure what this means [06:07] Problem solved. I deleted the 1.4 GNU plugin [06:08] bossmanbeta how i can post the error in pastebin [06:08] Flannel: I am having a problem now, It does not ask me the Primary or Logical question, just I define a swap partition and I might have to do this again .. Should swap be out of the LVM group as well?? [06:08] Zoiks, do you have to wait for it to finish before trying to format it, maybe? [06:08] hdevalence: still huh? i keep hearing them talk about stability on the dot... i tried a live cd as soon as it was available, it was a live cd so.... i just wanted to poke around. [06:08] vrkhans, go to http://pastebin.com/ for details [06:08] actually I'm already ignoring floodbot notices...huh. [06:08] soreau: LVM doesn't have any notion of primary or logical.

[06:09] Flannel: I set one partition in LVM group and then the rest of the space becomes labeled as 'unusable' (same if I define the '/' first) [06:09] nickrud++ [06:09] Mikelevel: which one? [06:09] bwahaha [06:09] mikesa81: well, I'm using the trunk right now... it's very nice, but unstable a\nd a bit patchy. Plasma in 4.0 is very bad and so is Kontact.

Use Firefox! [06:13] mikesa81: I don't think there'll be a problem. Even if something did happen, you could recover from your regular backups, right? :D In any case, I don't think anything bad would happen [06:13] ty [06:13] googlingtingwana: i have only ever used ext3 with linux [06:14] googlingtingwana: you ahve any other suggestions? [06:14] how do i get an external hardrive to mount [06:14] monte do you know the dev name?

I have not been able to make it install on anything other then part 1. I have not tried in many years though. I don`t know why your other ones are not listed. Try cfdisk /dev/sda at a command line and see if that has all your parts [06:15] Zoiks, I've used reiserfs for years with no problems and good performance - I'm about to give raid-5 a try (wonders of vmware) [06:15] tehCurtis: sudo apt-get remove pkg [06:15] sweet thanks [06:15] noob here tryin to install ubuntu on pc [06:15] 1st where to get [06:15] ? [06:15] ubuntu.com [06:15] mikesa81, rsync is on of the best backup tools out there [06:15] ... [06:15] op305: releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 , use the torrent if possible [06:15] Flannel: Basically, I need to create now a logical partition. But it wont let me undo the changes I have made or edit anything. Should I reboot it and try again? [06:16] hey all, i have a security question on vnc: i use a vnc viewer to remote to my ubuntu desktop from my laptop (win xp) in the same house. I port forwarded my router (port 5900) so that i could connect from my work as well. When i got home tonight I noticed there were x2 other users connected and i cut them off right away. How is this possible? I set it so that you have to enter an 8 character pw to take control when you remote i [06:16] Bossmanbeta: thanks. i could schedule it [06:16] ? [06:16] mikesa81: I use rsync, though I use it to do simple things such as "rsync -aPv /home/harry/ /mnt/voyager6/backup/" [06:16] mikesa81, yep [06:16] Anyone know why my nfs server would be having connection timeouts? [06:16] dangermike: i have no clue i no when i put it in my laptop that it works course it is windows lol but i am trying to move files [06:16] CoolBreeze, using vnc over the internet without a ssh tunnle is NOT a good idea. [06:17] zoiks: wat is that [06:17] even with a pw enabled? [06:17] mneptok, thanks again :) I have a new server install, and am missing a LOT of stuff is there a lib package i should install ? [06:17] CoolBreeze, first off... never fwd a port for VNC directly............... SSH to your box (on a different port than the default port) and use the -L option is ssh to tunnel VNC encrypted and securely to your box... [06:17] CoolBreeze, well.. you had 2 other users connected.. :) so logicially YES a password is not enough security [06:17] monte run dmesg it should be sda/sdb etc [06:17] mikesa81: I had it as a cron job which would fail silently if my external drive was not connected [06:17] hdevalence:thanks [06:17] googlingtingwana: yeah, i have thought about trying others...just was not sure on compatibility and stability and such [06:18] Bossmanbeta:thanks [06:18] I've heard VNC passwords are also transmitted as plain text. Is that right? [06:18] CoolBreeze, time to be viruschecking and possibially reinstalling that windows box. [06:18] guys, thanks for the tips. i will apply this logic right away. [06:18] hdevalence:cron? [06:18] CoolBreeze, also..... on sshd_config DISABLE the permit root login option (set it to 'no') to prevent a hack into ssh and gaining ROOT [06:18] /home/kimberly/.ies4linux/downloads/mfc42.cab: No such file or directory [06:18] An error occured when trying to cabextract some files. [06:18] mikesa81: kinda [06:18] dangermike: how do i do that [06:18] CoolBreeze, you can also configure SSHD to only accept connections from specific IPs to further prevent hack attempts [06:18] monte open terminal [06:19] monte and type in dmesg then press enter [06:19] mikesa81: I made a custom wrapper script that ran it [06:19] Any Mac users in here? I'm trying to set up my Ubuntu machine as a backup device for Time Machine, but so far no luck. Can't tell if it's a client or server issue. [06:19] CoolBreeze, while you're at it... set up a honeypot and and then get their IPs and write their ISP about their evil doings [06:20] dangermike: it says cannot be found [06:21] I need some help configuring firestarter for samba. I'm pretty sure it's firewall related, because when I drop it (which I later determined I don't really want to do again), it works like a charm... But adding the networks to "allow connections from host" or the ports to "Allow service" section (with or without network restriction) doesn't work. [06:21] monte dmesg its there trust me [06:21] thnx nickrud gnutz [06:21] ack! the uninstall failed! [06:21] Stopping nginx: invoke-rc.d: initscript nginx, action "stop" failed.

(Just like 'screen' but for X apps) There's an old-old app called 'xmove' (last updated 1997) but it's very buggy and doesn't work. VNC and NX are whole-desktop solutions and doesn't work well when I want to run local & remote apps on a unified local desktop. [06:22] tehCurtis: probably not, unless you deleted /etc/nginx (or whatever the config file is located) [06:22] Bossmanbeta, try asking in ##linux :) [06:22] monte you should have a usb section at the bottom copy the last 10 or so lines and PM them to me [06:22] i didn't manually removing anything yet [06:22] Dr_willis, sure... beggars can't be choosers :-) [06:22] Gokee2_: and this is something cuz when i click PLaces then Computer i can see the partitions [06:23] tehCurtis you may want to try opening synaptics and removing from there [06:23] i just think i have more than one install so i was trying to remove the one i added via apt [06:23] k [06:23] tehCurtis: put up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org the complete error [06:23] Bossmanbeta, id like to see how it could be done :) [06:23] Dr_willis, but I'll continue to ask at regular intervals.... you never know when master yoda of the ssh-clan of the clan McCloud should ever waltz in :) === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:23] Bossmanbeta, go bug all the disrto channels. :) heh heh [06:23] paste [06:23] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57908/ [06:24] lol [06:24] hdevalence: running trunk, does that update your machine pretty much daily? or you have to checkout from svn everytime and build everytime you want to update? [06:24] im sorry my sda1 is my winxp and my sda5 is my linux [06:24] Perhaps I should start in #Gentoo ... all those compiler-geeks [06:24] hellppmme, Hmm then I don`t know why they would be missing from the installer [06:24] tehCurtis: now the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/info/nginx.prerm [06:24] bugs perhaps [06:24] tehCurtis: that's the script that's failing [06:24] let me restart my laptop [06:24] brb [06:25] k [06:25] ill load again the livecd [06:25] Dr_willis, but these days ..

[07:09] tehCurtis: the --purge removed any in /etc that apt knew about, and your /usr/local is not managed by apt. So remove them all [07:09] k [07:10] i'll also remove in var/lib and var/log [07:10] dr_willis: i tried ur way but it said device not found [07:11] what is the alternative to ubuntu? my laptop can't install it [07:11] tehCurtis: you want to get rid of the database that the "locate" command uses? [07:12] tehCurtis: the db that "updatedb" actually updates? [07:12] or all the results that come up when i do "locate nginx" [07:12] mneptok: no, he's removing a manual install of nginx [07:12] monte, i would guess you are yusing the wrong device name then. :) [07:12] tehCurtis: ah. not the same. [07:12] good to know [07:13] dr_willis: give me the codes exact way to put them in the terminal plz [07:13] monte, what IS the device name you are trying to mount? i dont have ESP :) [07:14] monte, ' sudo mount /dev/YOURDEVICENAME /media/YourMountPoint ' is the basics of it all.

[07:17] nickrud: do you think it's safe to try to install from source again? [07:17] thank you so much, Daisuke [07:17] but for some reason [07:17] monte, if you want to mount /dev/sde1 then you use sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/WHATEVERYOUWANTTOUSE [07:17] the little icon on the top toolbar [07:17] my system is duel boot, is there a way to have Vbox boot my windows partition? [07:17] still says I have no network [07:17] Dr_willis: i still hate conexant, but PFFFFFBBBLLLLTTT, i got it :P [07:17] tehCurtis: personally I don't use source. myself. But if I was going to, I'd make sure I'd cleared everything first [07:17] Pwhdavey: if it's working, i wouldn't worry about it :) [07:18] Daisuke_Ido, wee.. now write up a Wiki page on it!

[07:19] you're welcome, by the way :) [07:19] BillyJoe: Short answer, no. Long answer, kinda. [07:20] hey guys can anyone tell me how to change the color of the menus in ubuntu. like is there a theme manager for it??? [07:20] Pwhdavey: honestly, for tricky issues, irc's the way to go. a lot of the devs hang out here (i'm not one, not by a long shot), and you generally get quicker one-on-one help [07:20] ChaosParser: is there a webpage discribing the kinda [07:20] BillyJoe: You could create an image of the xp install and run THAT in vbox as a virtual machine. But the changes would be saved to that, not the actual partition. [07:20] BillyJoe: Not really, not to my knowledge. [07:21] dr_willis: it says something about the ntfs is marked to be in use [07:21] booster_: Preferences>appearance [07:21] !id ^MissU^Mwah^Mwah [07:21] bah [07:21] !id > ^MissU^Mwah^Mwah [07:21] monte, if windows crashes and the ntfs filesystem is flagged as needing checked - the ntfs-3g drivers wont let it get mounted. [07:21] monte: Did you shutdown windows wrong? [07:21] nickrud: eff it, i'll just use what i get from apt [07:22] monte: If so, you need to reboot, shutdown properly and go back into ubuntu [07:22] thanks for all the help [07:22] tehCurtis: generally a sane idea. See you around [07:22] it was a good learning experience [07:22] :) [07:22] monte, You may want to boot to windows and let it scan the filesystem a few times to verify its good. and then shutdown properly in windows.. and check the various linux/ntfs/ntfs-3g guides on how to properly mount a ntfs-filesystem under linux. [07:22] hey anyone use rosegarden here? [07:22] Chaosparser: i dont daul boot [07:22] No I have not gotten it to boot up yet at all. [07:22] or any audio programs [07:23] monte: Okay, then in what context are we talking about an NTFS partition? [07:23] monte: You can force it to mount, but it might screw up the file system. [07:24] Chaosparser: thats wat it says when i try to mount it through the terminal [07:24] chaosParser: so if i force mount it might screw up all the data on the external hardrive [07:24] monte: Okay, what is the partition FOR? is it just a random data partition, or? [07:24] monte: Do you have a windows computer? [07:25] monte: You need to connect it to windows and then 'safely remove hardware', [07:25] Chaosparser: yea i have a windows computer [07:25] monte: That should resolve it without risking damage to the FS. [07:27] is there a command to reconfigure gnome-volume control? [07:27] it controls the front speakers not the master [07:27] and ther'es no real master only a pcm [07:27] nekostar: Right click, preferences. [07:27] Howto do something like "ipconfig /all" in Ubuntu [07:27] chaosparser: i pluged it in to windows and it does not give me the option to unmount safely [07:27] monte: XP or Vista? [07:27] xp [07:28] monte: there's no icon in the system tray by the clock? try clicking on the little < in the tray.

[07:28] What is the command to test drive read/write speed and drive cache speed? [07:29] chaosparser: yea i did it now plug into ubuntu [07:29] monte: Yep, it should mount okay now.

[07:54] i forgot how to do it [07:54] from live cd, use System -> Admin -> Disk Partitioner [07:54] I think the GUI is pretty straight forward.. [07:54] Gekkomon: you should go to you partitioning tool to find ouit what your partition sheme is, tipicly to install, unix will require a partition called "/" < this slash means root. also for better performance your system should also have a partion called swap < this acts as ram [07:55] there exists some "gparted" tools (on GUI).. on command-line, fdisk [07:55] that what i forgot how to make [07:56] Gekkomon, just use the guided partitioner from the install [07:56] anybody know of a program where i can transfer files between hard drives on my pc that allows me to start, stop, pause, error check the transfers? [07:57] Which kernel is best to use in a dual core 64bit machine?

[07:57] amd64 [07:58] i thought rsync was for making sure hard drives where copied to eachother and up to date? [07:58] Lycus, amd64 work well for me on dual core opteron and quad core intel [07:58] Gekkomon: just take a knife to partitionment your HD...good jub.. [07:58] xinel, yeah it would be good for syncing things up. [07:58] xinel, what about scp? [07:59] isn't scp for transfering between networked pc's [07:59] scp is part of ssh [07:59] secure copy [07:59] i know [08:00] i want like a copy tool but with more options [08:00] Gnash supports youtube now, right?

[08:09] Stonekeeper: can set that under system>preferancnes>sound [08:09] also it takes a long time to install anything :P [08:09] I need to make umlauts [08:09] and using the special character palette by mouse is too time consuming [08:09] what chars do you want to input ? [08:09] Benji2, thats why I love the Ubuntu Server builds. They are so minimal. I am a 100% server guy. [08:09] ok im still realy new at linux so how would i go by installing these drivers in terminal [08:10] Les_Caesars, well, there USED to be a way using SHIFT+CTRL+ [08:10] okay guess no help thanks [08:10] but it seemed to have vanished since 6.10 [08:10] go figure :( [08:10] LiraNuna: i always wondered what happened to it [08:10] :/ [08:10] darn. [08:10] :( [08:11] I used to abuse UTF so much [08:11] out of curiosity, which char did you need this for ? [08:11] you can still use the Char Map utility [08:12] hi guys [08:12] applications -> accessories -> char map [08:12] though it's not as fast as inline typing [08:12] has anyone gotten dell bluetooth 355 to work [08:12] xsavior, why don't you ask google [08:13] i am implemating a custom tcp/ip pile and i have a probleme with the checksum [08:13] can someone tell me about a good packet genarator ? [08:13] i only came in here because the ubuntuforums and google failed me :( [08:13] Guys i'm following the guide for installing Ubuntu on an USB stick with persistency but the files won't fit. Must i install them in /media/ubuntu or /media/casper-rw ?? [08:13] * xinel shakes fist into the sky [08:13] Arelis, what's your drive capacitY? [08:13] <_Oz_> I have a 40gb HD with two partitions -- one for ubuntu and one for whatever. the other one I will never use; I want to merge the two together. how can I do this? [08:13] I did google yahoo and been to every site but i don't seem to get it to work [08:13] LiraNuna: 4GB [08:13] Arelis, minimum is 1GB [08:13] oh :S [08:14] but the guide told me i had to make the partition 750MB [08:14] Arelis, strange, I got it fit in 1GB [08:14] _Oz_, delete the 2nd expand the first with gparted live cd. Is one way [08:14] hi....i installed ubuntu a week back and it's working great! [08:14] today i visited gnome-look.org....and it seems interesting. [08:14] LiraNuna: i had to make the partition 750MB said the guide, but it's 720MB. [08:14] jabmooli, great! now help others enjoy it :) [08:14] LiraNuna: i do select which crad that way. It is *always* set to my M-Audio card. However, on boot, ubuntu randomly chooses between that and my onboard sound. [08:14] LiraNuna: should i put it on /media/ubuntu (the 750MB thing) or /media/casper-rw ?? [08:14] but i can't understand how to use the themes available there...! [08:15] the themes u must download [08:15] there's no documentation also... [08:15] Stonekeeper, weird, I suggest you ask in the forums [08:15] it seems that it ignored the card set in the system prefs menu [08:15] u can get artmanager in the synaptic [08:15] <_Oz_> Dr_willis: must I do it with the livecd? [08:15] and browse and install themes from there [08:15] Arelis, the casper-rw is for the kernel [08:15] <_Oz_> Dr_willis: doesn't the ubuntu 7.10 cd have gparted on it? I could use that, no? [08:15] I've searched the forums :/ [08:15] yes, i downloaded them, the tar.gz files [08:15] LiraNuna: so it's for syslinux etc etc? [08:15] then go to your prefrences and you can customize your theme [08:15] Arelis, yes [08:15] and opened the theme manager [08:15] LiraNuna: all the files from the livecd? [08:15] _Oz_, you cant resize a partition that you got mounted.. no idea whats on the ubuntu cd. I use a gparted-livecd normally. Try it and see. [08:15] LiraNuna: because i've been copying it to /media/ubuntu [08:15] the 750MB one is /media/ubuntu [08:15] go to appaerance [08:16] and click install [08:16] LiraNuna: so that was the wrong one? [08:16] but for some of the files it says," they are not valid files" [08:16] <_Oz_> Dr_willis: where can I get/create a gparted livecd? [08:16] <_Oz_> !gparted [08:16] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [08:16] <_Oz_> never mind [08:16] <_Oz_> :) [08:16] Arelis, it worked fine here, just my NEW motherboard doesn't support USB boot <_< [08:16] Anyone here ever install ubuntu server on a dell array with raid10? [08:16] hm im not to sure [08:16] _Oz_, a new version was just released today. Saw it on disrtowatch web site [08:16] most of the themes that ive been downloading work [08:16] im not to experienced at ubuntu [08:16] LiraNuna: that sucks for you.. so i need to copy it to casper-rw and NOT /media/ubuntu ?? [08:17] mayber an expert user can help you out with that one [08:17] <_Oz_> thanks dr [08:17] <_Oz_> thanks Dr_willis [08:17] Arelis, casper-rw is for the kernel [08:17] so where should i go for help...or any webpage suggestion for that [08:17] LiraNuna: i thought it was for saving data [08:17] Arelis, getright [08:17] er [08:17] tf [08:17] Arelis, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [08:17] ubuntu forms are awsome [08:17] go on google [08:17] огромный всем приветище!!!!

[08:30] RiPPeR666: ^^ [08:30] hi there, anyone have expriences with ncomputing x300 and ubuntu, please help me something [08:30] h [08:30] hi guys... I just want to install 7.1 on an empty HD in my system. Problem is that I have several identical HDs... In "computer", I can see the mounted volume I wantto install to, but in the partition preparation I cannot match it since they are called /dev/sda etc instead of the mount name... how can I match those? [08:30] hello got dcd, need help again, just new to ubuntu, how do i get back the wireless monitor? coz i removed it from panel and now cant connect to other networks :-( [08:31] wikipedia says --> "The target computer is shut down (Sleeping, Hibernating or Soft Off, i.e. ACPI state G1 or G2), with power reserved for the network card. " Question, that's not REAL shutdown then, so why would need to wake it up? [08:31] well i only got 1 rigg and dual boot with ubuntu right now so its been alot of fun tryin to go back and forth trying diff thing to get it to load [08:31] b_ecca: you removed the network applet, or the notification area? [08:31] RiPPeR666: since you are on windows, do you have explore2fs or such to access your linux partition? [08:32] nope [08:32] !ext3 | RiPPeR666 [08:32] RiPPeR666: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [08:32] RiPPeR666: then get it [08:32] RiPPeR666, or explore2fs - is a similer tool. :) [08:33] i think so [08:33] @nickrud [08:33] coz i cant see the thing wherein you right click it then you could see networks in your area [08:33] kool ill download that rite now [08:33] b_ecca: first try running alt-f2 nm-applet , do you see it? [08:34] I'm using Gutsy x64 on a Thinkpad T61p and would like to establish a connection to a VPN server. When I let network-manager try and do this, it asks for passwords, then it takes some time, then it reads "VPN Connect Failure. Could not start the VPN connection 'xx' due to a connection error. The VPN login failed because the VPN program could not connect to the VPN server" My first idea was a firewall issue, so I tried to ping the server, su [08:34] Buyydee: you got cut off [08:35] Buyydee: "to ping the server, su" [08:35] My first idea was a firewall issue, so I tried to ping the server, successfully however. Does someone have an idea on how to tackle this problem? [08:35] hey, I have an interesting situation i use lilo but everytime i update the kernel, the new entry is added to grub/menu.lst by apt. [08:35] (nm-applet:9934): WARNING **: nma_dbus_net_properties_cb(): dbus returned an error. [08:35] (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.NetworkNotFound) The requested network does not exist for this device. [08:35] how do i change this? [08:35] guys I want to partition my HD but I dont know which to pick since they are identic types.. the target one has mount point /media/new volume but in the partionaer they are called /media/sdb1 etc... how do I know which is which? [08:36] Buyydee: use tcptraceroute on the port you want [08:36] b_ecca: do you see the applet on the bar? (that's just a warning you got there) [08:36] Buyydee, well you have to tell people what vpn software you are using [08:36] questions: how do diff words instead of lines? [08:36] oh nope [08:36] i dont see it @ nickrud [08:36] to* [08:37] someone eradicate Pwhdavey [08:37] ompaul: vpnc [08:37] nickrud i just accidentally removed the network monitor on the panel [08:37] b_ecca: ok, next try right clicking the panel, add to panel , and then add the notification area [08:37] Pwhdavey_: no one can. register your nick and do it yourself next time [08:37] i think theres a way to get it back but i dunno [08:37] Daisuke_Ido: If you're there, that was my connection cutting out again. [08:37] It could happen again anytime. [08:38] i see it thanks a lot nickrud [08:38] b_ecca: there's no remove from panel on the nm-applet, it's handled differently. If it's running, it shows up in the notification area (if it exists) [08:38] hi [08:38] thanks for the tip [08:39] ok i installed http://www.fs-driver.org [08:39] Buyydee, don't know it at all, if it is a config issue as it is cisco stuff perhaps OpenVPN would help [08:39] now i got 2 drives f and h one is the swap [08:39] f is your ubuntu? [08:40] ompaul: My university gives a step-by-step configuration tutorial with pictures :) for ubuntu gutsy, I should be fine there. [08:40] Buyydee, well then they may do more support for it ;-) [08:40] hello [08:40] idono the drives are empty how do i see whats on the ext2 partition [08:41] :ls [08:41] ompaul: Well, tell me what you might need to know, I'll look it up. The vpnc error message is not very informative however. [08:41] how can I set up my box to allow VNC logins right after booting up? [08:42] Newbuntu2, You mean to share the current running desktop? or to spwan a vnc session in the background? [08:42] Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly? They show up but they're too small [08:42] Newbuntu2, you can set up vnc as a service to allow it to spawn as needed. [08:42] Hi all, Having trouble with Mounting volume of external hard drive after upgrade, anyone help? [08:42] unfortunately, it's now almost 4 in the morning, and i have an appointment at 11 :\ [08:42] is there a command to reconfigure gnome-volume control? it controls the front speakers not the master and ther'es no real master only a pcm [08:42] Buyydee, - I only use OpenVPN it overcomes a myriad of problems [08:42] so i must take my leave. [08:43] i'll be back tomorrow :D [08:43] I'm using the box headless... but for the moment I need a monitor & keyboard hooked up so that I login after boot, and only then can I use VNC [08:43] Dr_willis: how do I do that? [08:44] ompaul: Can I connect to a cisco-system with openvpn? [08:44] anyone know how to mount a NTFS external drive??? [08:44] Hi, I've moved my root from a partition to another, thet problem is that update-grub uses the old partition in menu.lst [08:44] Newbuntu2, You could just ssh in, and run 'vncserver' that would be the easiest way [08:44] How can I change it? [08:45] Buyydee, no, but there are three clients on ubuntu for what you want to do: vpnc network-manager-vpnc kvpnc you may find them interesting and / or useful [08:45] ompaul: I'm using vpnc with network-manager-vpnc [08:45] Newbuntu2, headless = No monitor and no keyboard/mouse. You can install ssh, and remotely controll the box easially enough. Then you can set up vnc however you like. I tend to use the 'vnc4server' package [08:46] Dr_willis: how do I set ssh to accept connection after booting? [08:46] Newbuntu2, it should accept as far as ive seen.. i never had to do anything special after installing the ssh service [08:46] Newbuntu2: as soon as it's started it does [08:46] You will need to install the ssh service of course. [08:47] I can not get my audio to work in xawtv nor mythtv [08:47] and once I ssh in, I run vnc4server? or is that a separate service? [08:47] vncserver is the name of the service. Theres variants on it. I INSTALL vnc4server to get 'vncserver' [08:47] !vnc [08:47] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [08:48] install vnc4server, make a users .vnc/xstartup file to launch the window manager you want, run vncserver, connect. [08:48] you may want to use a real light window manager with vnc, I always use 'jwm' [08:51] what's the difference between tightvnc and vnc4server? [08:52] Newbuntu2, little things. I just tend to use vnc4server [08:52] Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly? They show up but they're too small [08:53] Can someone help me to get the audio working on xawtv or mythtv [08:53] I know this is stupid question [08:53] but how do you install a network card added after you installed [08:53] ifconfig doesn't show anything about new nic [08:53] so I am assuming it didn't install [08:54] njour à tous ! [08:54] phizzy, this is a normal wired nic? [08:55] yes [08:55] generic I think though [08:55] but normal 100mb pci nic [08:56] how can i get the newest nvidia drivers that were released this week? [08:56] Dr_willis: nod [08:57] phizzy, you may need to load the right module for it. but it should show up in ifconfig [08:57] just shows my main nic [08:57] should I plug in my cable modem and see if i get connection maybe? [08:57] brb [08:57] morn [08:58] imoet [08:58] Can anyone help me to get the audio to work on xawtv or mythtv? [08:58] Dr_willis: I got it to connect, but I get a nasty window manager. How do I start the default window manager?? [08:59] is there some solution to a "remote CD/DVD burner" ? say Id want to have a burner on a linuxboxen in my kitchen via USB-cable or whatnot and use that in some nifty way over the network [08:59] (weird idea of the day) [08:59] Newbuntu2, i said earlier to exit the .vnc/xstartup to run what you want. :) i perfer jwm [08:59] Newbuntu2, the default is twm i belive [09:00] edit the .vnc/xstartup in the users home dir.. be sure to kill vncserver with 'vncserver -kill :1' after editing it. and restart vncserver, Or else you will spawn a 2nd vncsession [09:00] imoet [09:00] back [09:00] yeah no luck [09:00] if it helps === co_g is now known as imoet [09:01] I know fedora linux seen the nic right away Dr_willis [09:01] Dr_willis: what is gnome started as? gnome? or gdk? (This is over 100 ethernet, and for rare use, so I don't want to bother with a lightweight windowmanager yet) [09:01] Newbuntu2, gnome-session , i belive. and ive found Gnome to be rather sluggish over the network this way. [09:02] Newbuntu2, ive had some quirks with gnome and kde both over vnc. [09:02] thats why i use jwm :) [09:02] Dr_willis: anything? [09:03] phizzy, you may need to load the right module. You could boot up a live cd. see if that sees it.. if so jot down what modules its loading. [09:03] Dr_willis: ah, perfect! works great! Thanks!!!! [09:04] what version of gnome does 6.06 use [09:04] meh just going to do clean install of ubuntu(installed it today anyways(and hopefully it seems both nics)) [09:05] phizzy, heh. thats a little overkill.. [09:05] using live cd isn't an option [09:05] out of blank cds [09:05] phizzy, if you boot the installer cd. use lsmod, and see what it sees. [09:05] and downloaded text mode 1 [09:05] the alt- cd has a console. you can do lsmod in. :) [09:05] make livecd partition? [09:06] kk [09:06] but what do I take from that just write down what it saids for that nic if it sees it? [09:07] I am assuming lsmod only shows installed hardware? [09:08] Can someone help me to get the audio to work in xawtv or mythtv? I can get get random noise but I can not hear a TV channel. [09:09] well work @11 and 4am now [09:09] getting sleep night [09:11] Hi all. I'm in Ubuntu on a pendrive now but i can't log in to the graphical part of Ubuntu, it says that .ICEauthority is not accesible. I tried changing the permissions on it but it didn't help [09:11] how do i fix that? === co_g is now known as imoet === ubuntu is now known as Arelis [09:12] Hi all. I'm in Ubuntu on a pendrive now but i can't log in to the graphical part of Ubuntu, it says that .ICEauthority is not accesible. I tried changing the permissions on it but it didn't help [09:12] how do i fix that? [09:12] ok hi [09:13] can anyone in here help me install my USB gamepad....im running gusty 7.10....and the pad shows up in joystick cal. [09:13] Arelis: don't repeat your question like that [09:13] but [09:13] Jayzer: sorry, had to change names [09:14] ok ive been having a problems with looding x after boot splash sreen goes away i loose the signal to my monitor [09:14] booster_, what game ya tryign to use it with? [09:14] can you go to your home directory, and do ls -al and paste the line that has .ICEauthority? [09:14] or just tell me the user and group set for the file [09:14] Dr_willis, im tring to use it with SNES EMU [09:14] Jayzer: Sure. it's --rw------ <-- Strange, the permissions haven't changed [09:15] that's not the whole line [09:15] hmm [09:15] you mean you tried to change permissions but it didn't work? [09:15] Dr_willis, do you use gamepads?? [09:16] how did you go about chmod'ing the file? [09:16] Jayzer: I tried again. I see, every time i log into gnome, it makes it only user-read-writeable. Whatever permissions i set on it, gnome ruins it. [09:16] Jayzer: "chmod 777 .ICEauthority" [09:16] ok [09:17] I tried around a little but my vpn still isn't able to connect. Here's a summary of the problems and what I did so far: I'm using vpnc with network-manager-vpnc to connect to a cisco-vpn. Upon connect, I get an error, that no connection to the server could be established. I successfully pinged the server. I tcptracerouted the server on port 80 (www). It might be a problem with my router, a Siemens Se551. [09:17] odd [09:17] that's why I'm here :) [09:18] Jayzer: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -al .ICEauthority [09:18] -rw------- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 161 2008-03-01 09:01 .ICEauthority [09:18] i have isntalled the new drivers "nvidia-glx-new" and changed xorg.conf from driver setting nv to nvidia but is still doesnt make it [09:18] Is 'speak' a discontinued Ubuntu command? (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-accessibility/2006-September/001129.html) [09:18] RiPPeR666: have you tried the restricted drivers manageR? [09:19] RiPPeR666: try going to system, administartion, restricted drivers manager and enabling it there [09:19] or is that what you were referring to? [09:19] i cant load x [09:19] Jayzer: can you help me further? [09:19] yeah, i'm seeing what i can do...i'm not as experienced as others here, i'm sure [09:20] Can anyone help me get the audio to work on xawtv or mythtv. I can output random noise on /dev/dsp but I can not get the sound from a TV channel. [09:20] can anyone in here tell me the correct way to install a USB gamepad ??? [09:20] just installed alt disk because after boot splash it lost signal [09:20] can you chmod the file and then ls -al so we i can see the permissions? [09:20] java: xcb_xlib.c:82: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. [09:20] any help ? [09:20] ignore the "we" in that sentence [09:20] is there a fix for java / [09:20] ? [09:20] so now i got umbutu installed but cant get into GUI "x"\ [09:21] RiPPeR666, what is up [09:21] RiPPeR666: upon login, does ubuntu ask you something about drivers? [09:21] mateusz: have you googled it? [09:21] i didn't look very hard, but i found this: [09:21] http://daveshuck.instantspot.com/blog/2008/01/29/cxliblock-failed-error-on-Java-applications [09:21] nope [09:21] mateusz: yes, http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6532373 [09:21] not sure if it's applicable [09:21] xconfigure? [09:21] or what its called in linux again :B [09:22] RiPPeR666: can you download new packages? [09:22] yea [09:22] via apt-get [09:22] mateusz: in short, set LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true [09:22] RiPPeR666: try and download envy and let this install and configure your nvidia-drivers [09:22] Jayzer: sure [09:22] RiPPeR666: it will do it all on its own - fixed a similar problem for me [09:22] Jayzer:ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -al .ICEauthority [09:22] -rwxrwxrwx 1 ubuntu ubuntu 161 2008-03-01 09:01 .ICEauthority [09:22] ok [09:22] 777 is a little overkill [09:22] but [09:23] hmmm [09:23] try going into X now? [09:23] ok how do i install evey in terminal?? [09:23] guys i am trying to format an ipod the command return this output: mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) [09:23] mkfs.vfat: Will not try to make filesystem on full-disk device '/dev/sdb' (use -I if wanted) [09:24] RiPPeR666: sudo apt-get -install envy [09:24] Jayzer: Already did. Changes the permissions to user rw [09:24] pl [09:24] er.. [09:24] ok [09:24] What is the difference between sudo su and su -i ? [09:25] is there anyway or any guide to let ubuntu 7.10 use less resource?especially mem [09:26] RiPPeR666: Then use sudo envy -t to get into the shell interface and install the nvidia-driver [09:26] any program where i can chat and use webcam === co_g is now known as capek [09:26] is there anyway or any guide to let ubuntu 7.10 use less resource?especially mem [09:26] ok [09:26] PLZ,anyone [09:27] ill see what i can do buyydee [09:27] RiPPeR666: let it do everything on its own, also configuration [09:27] icesword: havent' seen any [09:27] thanx [09:27] could be [09:27] guys please help me format ipod. the mkfs.vfat command is not working. [09:27] icesword, try a lighter window manager like fluxbox, firefox uses alot of mem - try epiphany or even dillo, turn off eyecandy [09:27] i think [09:27] Hello everyone! I have ubuntu_studio and a little problem with it. I have chosen 1600x1200 resolution, but everytime I reload, it sets to 1280x1024 and I have to change it back manualy every time. Can you suggest a solution, maybe a sctipt that will change it automatically? Thanks! [09:27] ePax: sudo -i is equivalent to sudo su -, sudo -s is equivalent to sudo su. You should use the sudo-only versions and not the sudo su versions. [09:28] Arelis: so it just knocks you out of X and gives you that error message? [09:28] Is 'speak' a discontinued Ubuntu command? (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-accessibility/2006-September/001129.html) [09:28] icesword: you can play with swappines on overcommit flags in /proc/ or was it /sys/ cant remember [09:28] any program where i can chat and use webcam [09:28] ePax: But, those are, for the most part, not really useful, because sudo itself takes care of 99% of the cases. [09:28] Flannel: When i need to login as root what should i use? Not sudo su? [09:28] ePax: Why do you need to login as root? [09:29] ere4si, yeah,the problem is if i don't pass gnome,can i stop some service,i got so many background service running in default [09:29] Flannel: Not that i need to but i do need to login as root some times. What command shall i use? [09:29] Jayzer: Deleting .ICEauthority fixed it! [09:30] icesword, there is an app named sysv-rc that will let you do that - but be careful what you disable [09:30] ePax: Well, under normal circumstances you wont. But `sudo -i` will work fine. [09:30] haha, awesome [09:30] i was almost going to consider telling you that [09:30] bullgard4: No, I don't believe so. That person was compiling it from source. [09:30] Jayzer: now i just need to add that to a startup script so it deletes it every time it boots [09:30] but i thought you might have had a reason for keeping that file around [09:31] Jayzer: no. [09:31] Flannel: Ok... In cases i needed to login as root i used sudo su,... But ill try to remember to use su -i :D Thnx [09:31] Jayzer: will .bashrc be run when i login using the display manager? [09:31] ePax: not su -i, sudo -i [09:31] oki [09:32] Flannel: Thank you very much for you information. [09:32] Arelis: don't believe so [09:32] Jayzer, Arelis, you don't need to delete Xauthority all the time. It shouldn't be causing issues under normal operating conditions. Do you run graphical commands using sudo? [09:32] it will only run when you open bash [09:32] Hi all! [09:33] Flannel: I run my system from a pendrive. This is the first time i do that, and i just installed it on that. It works using casper-rw and is just like a persistent livecd. [09:33] Flannel: so yes, i DO need that [09:33] anyone tried webCDwriter ? [09:33] Jayzer: so that means when the system boots? (every time it boots, it logs into the shell) [09:34] Arelis: You shouldn't need to delete it each time, no. Since it shouldn't be causing problems with permissions (because under nomral circumstances, it works fine). It usually causes problems after invoking graphical programs using sudo (instead of gksu or kdesu) [09:35] Arelis: that is, unless the pendrive is doing something odd that I'm not aware of (should be identical to a regular system) [09:35] Flannel: I've checked the page on liveusb installing, and i've seen comments about people experiencing the same problem. It is even a well-known bug (the .ICEauthority bug) [09:35] Arelis: Alright, bugs are bugs [09:35] Flannel: :) i should post the fix though [09:36] where can i post it? [09:36] Arelis: the wiki that mentions the bug would be a good place [09:36] Flannel: must i create an account for that? [09:37] Arelis: If you don't already have one, yeah [09:37] 有说中文的吗？ [09:37] 有 [09:37] O [09:37] 原来还有呀｀ [09:37] so yes, i DO need that [09:37] anyone tried webCDwriter ? [09:37] 说的是啥？ [09:37] I have ubuntu_studio and a little problem with it. I have chosen 1600x1200 resolution, but everytime I reload, it sets to 1280x1024 and I have to change it back manualy every time.

[09:57] Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly? They show up but they're too small [09:57] tokyoahead: you have already begun the installation? [09:57] * syc_ brb [09:57] tokyoahead, you from japan,hd0 means your first disk [09:58] bazhang: I have 4 HDs and installed the 7.1 form the livedisk w/o boot manager because I was afraid it would damage my XP boot (happened before) [09:58] just curious on compiz wasnt there a raised window feature when you rotate the cube? [09:58] bazhang: so now the ysstem wont boot for linux [09:58] tokyoahead, hd0,0 is your first primary partition on first disk [09:58] icesword: so on SDA1? [09:59] maybe or hda1 [09:59] icesword: dont have that, only have SDA, SDB etc [09:59] should i be noticing a quality loss converting mp3 128kbit to ogg 256kbit? [09:59] tokyoahead, ok what is up [09:59] because ic ant tell the difference [09:59] but the question is: how cnaI get thesystem to boot [10:00] it wont boot into linux if I set the linux HD to be the primary in Bios [10:00] tokyoahead, wait,where is grub [10:00] tokyoahead, or whatever the loader [10:00] hello! i have installed tuxguitar, and while running it have the following error : anthony@anthony-desktop:/usr/bin$ tuxguitar [10:00] /usr/bin/tuxguitar: 21: /usr/local/opt/java/jre/bin/java: not found [10:00] Can you suggest a solution? thanks! [10:01] tokyoahead: there is an option on the install cd, which allows you to select directly what youd like to do, you can boot from the cd, cancle the installation and simply install the grub boot loader to the mbr ( master boot record ) [10:01] tokyoahead, if you like ,add my msn yang8639ok@hotmail.com [10:01] PS I have hardy 8.04 alpha 5 [10:01] icesword: dont run msn [10:01] Anthony_Schneide: Hardy help in #ubuntu+1 [10:01] Anthony_Schneide: you should join #ubuntu+1 then [10:02] binaries-APP: if I install linux on the HD that is the boot one in bios, should it not boot w/o grub? [10:02] you think this error can be cause of Alpha 5 distro? [10:02] not on topic here Anthony_Schneide [10:03] ok, thanks! I will ask the same there! [10:03] tokyoahead, you need to give us more details [10:05] Can anyone help me to get the audio to work on xawtv or mythtv? I can get random noise on /dev/dsp but not sound from a TV channel. [10:05] icesword: ok Ihave 4 HDs, 2 with data, one empty one with XP on it. I installed 7.10 on the empty one after havinf set it to the primary one in the bios. I did not install the boot loader because I thought I do not need it. I also had several times that the boot loader crashed my windows completely, so I wanted to boot from linux by swithing the primary in bios instead of using the bootloader; But still if I set the linux HD as primary boot disdk in [10:05] tokyoahead: the master boot record will only recognise windows installations, ubntu is unix therefor its boot option will not be shown in the mbr; aside from that the boot sheme has no idea that there even is another os on your system [10:06] tokyoahead: for this reason it is nesseccary to install an alternative boot loader to the mbr [10:06] tokyoahead, so it seems that grub (loader) is not available on any of your disk,right [10:06] binaries I get it. [10:07] icesword: yeah. can I install it on a different HD than the SDa1 where XP is? I would not want to risk that system [10:07] tokyoahead, if you like,you can use windows' ntldr boot linux,is that you want [10:08] icesword: welll it sounds better than grub since I had to reinstall XP in the past 2 times after installing grub :-) [10:08] icesword: can I install the NTLDR w/o reinstalling XP? how do I install that? [10:09] tokyoahead, you know there is a file called "grub4dos",and your windows have a boot.ini [10:09] icesword: where is that grub4dos? [10:09] tokyoahead, you just add e.g.c:\grldr=ubuntu [10:10] tokyoahead, www.sourceforge.net,search grub4dos [10:11] bazhang: I tried that, didn't work [10:11] (the USB webcam) [10:11] Newbuntu2: you compiled that with build-essential? [10:11] I believe so [10:12] how do i make ubuntu do things at bootup? [10:12] icesword: thanks I will try this one [10:12] yes, I have build-essential installed. the compilation etc all worked [10:12] tokyoahead, then you need to creat a menu.lst by your own [10:12] it's just when I plug it in, it sees it as an ehic device and leaves it at that. [10:13] hi! [10:13] Arelis: >system >preferances > preferd applications [10:13] arelis add them to your session startup [10:13] uvc didn't jump in and grab it [10:13] bazhang: no, i mean the system bootup [10:13] arelis like what [10:13] icesword: I will try to get teh details from the grub4dos hoepage [10:13] i am having problems with NVIDIA on my new Ubuntu 7.1 install [10:14] help help help! [10:14] apurva calm down [10:14] tokyoahead, ok [10:14] bazhang: I want to have some things happen at bootup, i want it to do my fix when it boots, and i want to copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf.radeon to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:14] hi bazhang [10:14] apurva: could you give us more info? for instance, what is wrong? [10:14] i installed nvidia drivers using Envy [10:15] wait [10:15] !envy | apurva [10:15] apurva: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [10:15] how do I check that I have the spca5xx drivers installed?? [10:15] should i uninstall the dirver then? [10:16] apurva envy uh oh. [10:16] u r scaring me.... did i do something wrong using envy? [10:17] Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly? They show up but they're too small [10:17] apurva ayup [10:17] what should i do now? [10:17] bazhang: I want to have some things happen at bootup, i want it to do my fix when it boots, and i want to copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf.radeon to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. So how do i do that? [10:18] apurva you should install via the restricted drivers manager--how recent is this install? best to back up important data just to be safe [10:18] Can anyone help me to get the audio to work on xawtv or mythtv? I can get random noise from /dev/dsp but not sound from a TV channel. [10:18] arelis you want what things to happen at startup please be precise [10:18] ok [10:18] where is the other gus [10:18] guys [10:18] hi [10:19] then i should uninstall th driver? [10:19] anyone know how I check if I have the spca5xx driver installed/running? [10:19] Guys, I have a problem with firefox, it will down close automatically every 2-3 mins? what could the problem [10:19] how can i install maya on unbuntu [10:20] bazhang: Alright. I want it to delete /home/ubuntu/.ICEauthority and /home/ubuntu/.ICEauthority-c at bootup, and i want it to copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf.radeon (it's a customized version of the xorg.conf) to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The reason for that all is that i'm running it on a pendrive and deleting .ICEauthority fixes a problem with logging in (so i can't get in gnome unless that happens), and i want to copy that config because it fixes a lot o [10:21] i uninstalled the driver using sudo envy --uninstall-all [10:22] how do i proceed now? [10:23] Bad_boy might a plugin you've got installed. do you have any, or is it a fresh install of firefox. and what version of firefox are you using? [10:23] the restricted drivers box shows NVIDIA not enabled (check box empty) and "in use" with a grreen light [10:24] hey bazhang... u there? [10:24] Bad_boy, yeah,that is it,try to disable any suspicious plugin [10:24] apurva you have the restricted driver manager? [10:24] yes [10:24] Arelis: that sounds quite complex, well beyond anything I could comment on [10:24] the restricted drivers box shows NVIDIA not enabled (check box empty) and "in use" with a grreen light [10:25] Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly? They show up but they're too small [10:25] Sinnerman: I have just re-installed it now, looks like no problem at the moment the only plugin from flash fro 64 bits i installed last week [10:25] Bad_boy are you using their beta release? [10:27] Sinnerman: how do i knowt it's better, I just used package manager to installed. OOps it just closed down again [10:27] Sinnerman: what the hell is happening [10:27] Bad_boy if you used the package manager, then it's what's shipped with ubuntu, unless you've enabled backports or added other repositories. [10:28] Bad_boy try opening up a terminal, and launching firefox from there, that is, type firefox and press enter in a terminal. when it quits, it'll probably give you some helpful error message. [10:28] ciao [10:29] Sinnerman: I am a newbie, so I do not what I added in repositories [10:29] Bad_boy if you haven't messed with it, then it's good :). [10:29] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg apurva try this in the terminal and choose nvidia as the driver and not nv [10:30] can anyone help me get my webcam going? === duniamasak is now known as GodWing [10:30] hi [10:30] Sinnerman: firefox from terminal no problem , load up, let see if it closes in the next few minustes [10:30] it's a creative live!; it uses the spca5xx drivers [10:30] any cad users [10:30] Sinnerman: it closes [10:31] however, when I plug it in, it is just added as a ehci device, but nothing adds it as a video device [10:31] Bad_boy yes, but when you run it from a terminal, any abnormal termination should give you an error message in the terminal. [10:32] Bad_boy did it exit telling you about any problem? [10:32] sorry men!but how function for download the file? [10:33] Sinnerman: i did close the terminal afterwards, so did read. Now i have opended and type firefox, i wiat to see the errors [10:33] this is a programme that is possible take the file? [10:33] Bad_boy ok. don't close the terminal :) you need to see what the errors are. [10:34] heya people [10:34] hi! [10:34] how are you? [10:34] good thanks [10:35] this is the first time for me to try using IRC to get aome info [10:35] giby could you be more precise please [10:35] Sinnerman: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [10:35] in which place you write? [10:35] Bad_boy nothing else? [10:35] BlackOpal, aome info? [10:35] had this problem 2 weeks ago, I had to-reinstalll [10:35] Bad_boy is there something you do with firefox that crashes it, or a web site that specifically makes that happen? [10:35] sorry *some [10:35] giby you have a support question? this is not a chatty type channel [10:35] ..ok bad_boy..my question is,with this programm is possible download the file? [10:36] Bad_boy does it only happen with firefox or have you noticed similar behaviour with other applications? [10:36] giby what file? [10:36] giby what file [10:36] where do source files get downloaded to? [10:36] does anyone here have experience making LOTRO work with wine [10:36] won't it create issue if dovecot and postfix are both running in a mailserver? [10:36] Newbuntu2 how are you downloading them? [10:36] no no.only water;.) [10:36] Sinnerman: nothing special, I am on internet all the time for work, use mostly firefox [10:36] via synaptic [10:37] BlackOpal, ah,you are playing with wine,why not #wine [10:37] giby: no prob with other soft [10:37] how do ya run konsole as admin? [10:37] is possible but probably this evinign and not in the morning [10:37] or terminal [10:37] giby: Yes, i could download files yesteday pdf [10:37] Newbuntu2 the packages you download usually go into: /var/cache/apt/archives, but im not sure where the .deb files extract the source files. /usr/src maybe? [10:37] Giddykong, no,it is not recommended,try sudo instead [10:38] k thanks [10:38] and how is possible?with wich comand? [10:38] not used to ubuntu :P [10:38] Bad_boy sure, but anything specifically that crashes it, or is it completely random? [10:38] !easy [10:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about easy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:38] Sinnerman: last i got segmentation, firefox stop loading up completely. I did mentteest for 16 hours, no errors [10:38] giby do you have an actual question? [10:38] icesword, whats the difference between the two [10:38] Bad_boy no problems with other applications i take it? [10:39] BlackOpal, you mean sudo , [10:39] Sinnerman: this started an hour ago, closes down a few a minutes [10:39] !sudo > BlackOpal [10:39] Sinnerman: no prob with any other software [10:39] anybody has tried installing Oracle RAC in ubuntu here? [10:39] Bad_boy i'm out of ideas. maybe one of the other guys will be able to tell you more. [10:40] who big is ubuntu's repository? i want to download a big portion of it for an non-internet machine [10:40] I just wanna know whether Ubuntu is compatible for installing Oracle or not? [10:40] Sinnerman: maybe i need a complete removal of firefox [10:40] according to info, Oracle is certificated to Redhat, Suse and Asianux only [10:40] http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html GodWing [10:40] icesword, yes i know of sudo use it reguarly, but how does that help me with running Lotro with wine [10:40] Sinnerman: WHAT'S THE COMmand for that [10:40] thanks bazhang [10:41] bazhang, where are other guys,btw ,i am net installing 7.10 now,though not sure if it will boot on my machine:( [10:41] np [10:41] hmm has anyone else had trouble with installing skype on ubuntu 7.10? [10:41] Bad_boy well, in synaptic, located the firefox package, and mark it for complete uninstallation. [10:41] icesword: not sure; it is still early am for most of them ;] what issues are you having? [10:41] BlackOpal, yeah,wine is not the end solution for windows programs,sometimes we use virtual machine [10:42] bazhang, no,i haven't ,i just talk to you [10:42] icesword, ah ok so like virtual box? you reccommend any [10:42] vmware-server and vbox both will do it BlackOpal [10:42] BlackOpal, yeah,virtualbox is free,also qemu [10:42] icesword, thanks, im goning to have a play === shell is now known as goldenfox [10:43] bazhang... it's just XE edition... what I want to know is RAC (grid Computing) ORacle? [10:43] hello everyone [10:43] Sinnerman: Cheers for that, I did not have any prob with 32 bits on this Quad core, but i have $GB ram so, i decided to move 54 bits gutsy [10:43] Bad_boy and if you're feeling intrepid and really want a clean slate, and lose your bookmarks, go into your home directory and delete the firefox folder inside the .mozilla folder. i wouldn't recommend that. really, before you do that, you might want to create another username, log in as that username, and see if it still causes problems. [10:43] Can anyone help me to get audio to work on xawtv or mythtv? I can get random noise on /dev/dsp but no sound from any TV channels. [10:43] i have a question regarding X-Chat. How can I put xchat in the notification area like pidgin? [10:43] GodWing: there may be someone here that knows--you can also take a look at ubuntuforums [10:43] 잉.. [10:44] goldenfox, theres a xchat extra tool that does that. [10:44] thanks bazhang [10:44] !find xchat [10:44] Found: xchat-gnome, xchat-gnome-common, xchat, xchat-common, xchat-guile (and 2 others) [10:44] :) I appreciate it so much [10:44] Dr_willis: thanks a lot :) [10:44] goldenfox, xchat-systemtray or somthing i think. [10:44] if /dev/sda2 is my / partition, the line containing "root" in the menu.lst of grub should be "(hd0,1)"? [10:44] 어허.... [10:44] goldenfox, i dont know if it works or not. :) but i think thats the tool [10:44] thank you very much Dr_willis [10:44] i will try it [10:44] goldenfox: I just right click the panel and add the applet [10:45] i am new to linux. is there some program i can install through package manager to format harddrives or anything? [10:45] cool [10:45] how do I install spca5xx? [10:45] oops [10:45] xchat-systray - xchat systray notification icon [10:45] Hello there. I was wondering how I could set my locales to en_US.iso-8859-1. Any ideas? [10:45] wrong paste buffer. :) [10:45] Sinnerman: all my bookmark get synchronised, with foxmark on-line automatically to share on my computers, so i can my bookmarks back :) [10:45] Bad_boy i don't think the memory is the determining factor on whether to use a 32- or 64-bit OS. The processor should be. It does not affect how much memory is used or not as far as i know, but probably affects the efficiency with which your system runs. [10:45] Dr_willis: thanks again [10:45] is there anyone who might want to help me 1 on 1 with bind/dns on this server for some paypal? [10:46] Bad_boy well, try making another user first (clean profile kind of thing) and see. if that solves your problem, then it's a per-user setting in firefox that you've set. [10:46] Sinnerman: this is a new computer, and did a memtest fro 14 hours, no erros at all [10:46] anyway. i gotta step out for a bit. [10:46] back later. [10:46] Sinnerman: cheers bud [10:46] Bad_boy well, not faulty hardware then. :) software will crash occasionally even on linux. [10:46] well good luck anyway. [10:46] hey, would you know if the grub on feisty (0.97) is compatible with mac os x? [10:47] the debian wiki says the version > 0.97-10 is [10:47] krayplus best to do it in channel--ask your specific question and if anyone knows they will answer ;] [10:47] but how do i know the minor version of grub installed [10:47] shres, haha,mac has its own loader [10:47] Can anyone help me to get audio to work on xawtv or mythtv? I can get random noise from /dev/dsp but not sound from a TV channel. [10:47] icesword: i am dual booting [10:48] Sinnerman: c u around thanks anyway [10:48] icesword: i have it working with lilo right now [10:48] hrm i dont where to begin with configuring bind [10:48] and i want to shift to grub [10:48] shres, grub>version [10:48] <[TIE]Sentinel> im trying to install ubuntu, but it seems to crash (stall) after the part where it tells me that it can't find my graphics drivers and gives me generic ones instead, any ideas anyone? (quite possible that the crash is unrelated to graphics drivers, although it did also crash at the same spot when I tried to 'test' with the correct drivers) [10:48] icesword: doesnt give me minor version. only 0.97 [10:48] what's the best client for php mail() function? [10:49] Why do you want to shift to grub shres? lilo works fine [10:50] rhineheart_m: best try #php [10:50] err [10:50] Error : Desktop effects cannot be enabled? Any help would help. :) [10:50] SpentRocket: well, i just completely fscked lilo because i forgot to update after building my version of the kernel :-) [10:50] jpatrick: thanks.. [10:50] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ is nice :) [10:50] hehe. just found it [10:51] SpentRocket: lilo update is brain dead, it thinks my hard disk is raid right now. [10:51] I mounted my windows partition via sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows I would like this to be in my /etc/fstab but I looked in there and it is asking for more info then I understand, could some one point me to a good website to help exsplane this or give me a pointer? [10:51] ;] [10:51] david: might want to talk about it in #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [10:51] !fstab | BillyJoe [10:51] BillyJoe: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [10:52] ere4si thank you [10:52] k [10:52] I'm having trouble recording via sound recorder [10:52] wow this is a rock solid site. thank you very much === [TIE]Sentinel is now known as dave^^ [10:52] Yes shres, if you forget to run lilo after kernel changes it renders you non-bootable, all you need to do to get in is boot from some other media, cd for example, or another linux partition that DOES still boot, mount your broken one, chroot to it and then run lilo, all will be fixed again :-) [10:53] ... would you guys recomend installing ubuntu 7.04 over 7.10? [10:53] nay [10:53] no matter what input I select, I can't record anything [10:53] Giddykong: yeah [10:53] >.< ok [10:53] SpentRocket: true, a few steps i would rather avoid :-) [10:53] or wait for the next version [10:54] i cant get many apps to run [10:54] apps that i want :P [10:54] speaking of next version - hardy alpha 5 broke my system >.< [10:54] skype is the main 1 [10:54] well thanks guys gonna go download 7.04 now and isntall it [10:54] in 7.10 my keyboard doesnt work correctly, and cant hibernate [10:54] shres: I've only just joined this thread, what problems are you having with grub? [10:55] Help! Tried multiple things to fix this but have no idea whats wrong. "desktop effects cannot be enabled" - I installed 915 Resolution. [10:57] Can _anyone_ help me to get audio to work on xawtv of mythtv? I can get random noise from /dev/dsp but not sound from any TV channel. [10:58] Is it a fairly old computer you're attempting this on KyleSloderbeck? [10:58] how to know if courier-Imap is running? [10:58] Acer Aspire 5570Z [10:59] Speed, available memory KyleSloderbeck? [10:59] 1.66 duo core. 100gigs free spaces. 1gig ram. === Dorwin6_ is now known as Dorwin6 [11:01] Golly okay KyleSloderbeck, you should be okay ... I'll think and get back to you [11:01] This is my first time on IRC. Is it normal to ask the same question for hours and get _absolutely_ no response from anyone? [11:01] patrickchapman, when asking very specific questions like that - often NOone on here knows. [11:02] Another thing is that it didn't recognize the wide screen and was at 1024 x 768 to start with. But thank you SpentRocket. [11:02] patrickchapman, there is a Ubuntu-mythtv channel also [11:02] oh, ok. Thank you Dr_willis [11:02] patrickchapman, i dident even think /dev/dsp was used any more as an audio device., [11:03] ill try again on some other day. Is there a better address to ask questions about audio problems? [11:04] patrickchapman, audio is only failing for those programs? [11:04] Im having trouble installing ubuntu, can anyone help? [11:04] Hi. I would like to launch the following command with a launcher, what exactly do I have to enter in the fields?: export MATLAB_JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre && matlab & [11:04] correct [11:05] The audio works when I select an example audio file. [11:05] patrickchapman, the mythtv guys might be able to help you. It could be an issue with the tv tuner card also. Picture works but no sound? [11:05] I have a picture in both xawtv and mythtv but no sound. [11:07] I guess I'll stick with XP then :( [11:07] :o [11:08] It sounds like it's missed your video card setup KyleSloderbeck, I asked you if you were running an old computer meanwhile what you've got there is quite new ... I'm new to Ubuntu but old at Linux, have a look at the "Device" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, does what you see there look reasonable? [11:08] Buyydee: for my own, I would have past those line in a file name run_matlab.sh for example, giving it the x right for user (chmod u+x file), and then link this file for the launcher [11:08] dave what would be the problem? (prob can't help but won't hurt if i try? lol) [11:08] Leafman: the install process seems to crash [11:08] or hang [11:08] =/ [11:08] hi [11:08] Buyydee: maybe adding a line "#!/bin/bash" as a first line of the file could help too [11:09] early on it tells me that it can't find the drivers for my graphics card [11:09] list! [11:09] i'll look real quick [11:09] thannoy: what would the text for the sh file look like? i'm not into scripting... i suppose first line as you just said and second line just as my command with out the & at the end? [11:09] yeah compatibility issues, think i got those too lol [11:09] then I either choose drivers and click 'test' or I tell it to continue with generic drivers - either way it goes back to the text screen and just hangs [11:09] the last thing I see is something like "loading startup scripts DONE" [11:09] or maybe it was running startup scripts DONE [11:10] Buyydee: that it. (and no '"' for my line) [11:10] thannoy: ok, i'll try that [11:11] well don't think i can help you there, have you tried searching *the name of your computer* instal ubuntu or something? [11:11] Spentrocket: I can't seem to find that file... [11:11] yeah, can't see anything [11:11] thanks for trying anywy [11:12] /etc/X11 (That's X one one ) / xorg.conf not there? [11:12] what computer are you trying to install it on btw? [11:13] hp [11:13] my guess [11:13] SpentRocket: try locate xorg.conf to find it [11:14] Thanks thannoy, I know where it is, I'm trying to help somebody else find it .. it should be nowhere else :-) [11:14] SpentRocket: and yes, mine is in /etc/X11 [11:14] SpentRocket: sorry, was doinf=g two things at the same time [11:14] SpentRocket : Can't seem to find it.. in the terminal correct? [11:15] SpentRocket: man xorg.conf tell over 10 "default" places where X trys to find it [11:15] Q: i downloaded the ubuntu 7.10 ISO, but hate having to download tons of packages via the internet. will it be fine if i download some of the bigger [~4gb] debian ISOs which have lots of packages and use those under ubuntu? [11:16] Yes KyleSloderbeck, from your tty terminal ... if you do ls /etc/X11 ? [11:16] SpentRocket : It says is a directory. [11:16] so true [11:17] lol [11:17] OomElvis: http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/08/get-ubuntu-repositories-on-dvd.html , http://www.howtoforge.com/dvd_images_of_ubuntu_repositories [11:18] OomElvis: ubuntu != debian [11:18] OomElvis - no. you cannot use packages off of the debian dvd for ubuntu. you can buy ubuntu dvd's instead. see http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/purchase [11:18] so no, you cannot use the normal debian repos with ubuntu [11:18] why cant i download the repositories? [11:18] is it possible to use font smoothing with rdesktop? [11:18] too much BW? [11:21] OomElvis - why bother? you'll never need _all_ of those packages. the benefit of downloading packages off the net is you only get what you need. the cd has most of the packages you will require. [11:21] nevermind [11:21] cool [11:21] thanks for the help [11:21] ciao [11:22] guys, I am loads of problems with firefox, it keeps crashing after a minutes. I have done a complete removal of firefoc re-install again, still the same thing : I am getting this from the terminal : firefox [11:22] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [11:22] (npviewer.bin:7289): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_style_detach: assertion `style->attach_count > 0' failed [11:22] I have problem with Skype... beta and stabil...

Is there a way to save xchat to usb stick so i don't have to keep downloading it for live cd? [11:23] grazie :) [11:23] guys I changed my screen and how after reboot I have all wierd lines on my screen, hoe can I switch w/o seein what I do? [11:24] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57916/ that's what came up. [11:24] Bad_boy: closing firefox, opening a terminal and running mv .mozilla .mozilla-1 (this will move your firefox preferences to .mozilla-1, and if they are causing the problem, then it will solve it hopefully) to undo, do mv .mozilla-1 .mozilla [11:24] my mic does not work [11:25] Bad_boy: actually, that probably won't help -- it is the flash player that is crashing [11:25] You could just copy x-chat to your stick Leafman, and run it from there [11:25] lol k i'll try that :) [11:26] kalatian: done the .mv [11:26] what is an app i can use to burn an iso cd image?

[11:26] kalatian: how do you it the lash crashing it [11:26] Bad_boy: if you have no other ideas, mv'ing it is worth a try I suppose, but as I said, probably won't help [11:27] nah ubuntu 7.10 [11:27] is there some tool that will guide me through setting up my laptop's mic? no matter what channel I chose, I can't record anything [11:27] !burners | Giddykong [11:27] Giddykong: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[11:35] knock knock [11:35] Bad_boy: ah, ok, easy to fix that problem then [11:35] kalatian, roger. i turned on all channels, turned everything up, then tested with every 'record from input' option available [11:35] kalatian, i have to do reinstall again,and it is netinstall [11:36] lol [11:36] EnvoyRising: what program are you using? [11:36] icesword, what happened? [11:36] icesword: why don't you download the CD or something? [11:36] kalatian, the default sound recorder [11:36] I really think Ubuntu did a good job here, a lot more people are going to like linux now [11:36] kalatian, i'm open to using other software if you have suggestions [11:36] per l italiano? [11:36] what command writes the conole reply to a file? [11:37] !it | arturo [11:37] arturo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [11:37] EnvoyRising: I'd highly recommend audacity [11:37] grazie mille [11:37] kwaj, put '> filename' after the command will do it. [11:37] ere4si, i just do a netinstall [11:37] kwaj - command > command_output.txt [11:37] k [11:37] kalatian, i was afraid you'd say that. seems a bit overkill. just need to record some korean phrases for this class. i'll get it anyways, maybe it'll help, lol [11:38] kalatian, coz i install ubuntu to a vm [11:38] EnvoyRising: i only say that because I've never used the default sound recorder, and audacity seems to work ok for me :D [11:38] kalatian, fair enough [11:38] lol [11:39] icesword: you can't use the normal cd because its a VM? why not? [11:39] Soooo the noob is back. [11:39] No luck :*( [11:39] kalatian, coz my mem is low,i am afraid it won't boot [11:39] ah [11:40] icesword: you could try the alternate install cd [11:40] kalatian, not sure if alternate will boot [11:40] one step ahead of me :D [11:40] I tried to uninstall 915resolution but still got the same error. Could it be that I installed several different graphic things from the synaptic package manager [11:41] kalatian, i have 256m ram on host [11:41] i had a computer with only xp on it, then installed ubuntu and now i get the grub 22 error.. i think the boot files are on the hd0,0 disk witch is ntfs and i can get access to, only grub flies found is on another disk and setup on this disk doesnt help.. [11:41] kalatian, i'm a step closer. it actually records, but I have a lot of static. will turn down a few channels to see if that helps [11:41] hey on ubuntu 7.04 is compiz on it from fresh install? [11:41] Trondern, google "grub load error 22" [11:41] kalatian, meanwhile, is there a noise cancellation feature in audacity? [11:42] kalatian, nevermind, found it :-) [11:42] EnvoyRising: that's good :D I think there is a noise cancelation, but I don't know how to use it. Your best bet is to mute a bunch of channels [11:42] I'm runny gutsy and having problems with wireless on my laptop. It detects the security on my AP's as WEP instead of WPA for some reason and won't let me connect. Any ideas? [11:42] i did, but cAnt see the problem with boot files on a ntfs disk covered.. [11:42] kalatian, vain I know, but I wish the widgets were prettier, lol [11:42] EnvoyRising: just out of curiousity, where is the noise canceling feature? [11:42] kalatian, will 7.10 alternate cd boot under 100m ram? [11:43] haha, yeah, audacity isn't the prettiest program in the world ;) [11:43] kalatian, effect > noise removeal [11:43] icesword: I've booted in on 96 [11:43] KyleSloderbeck: All the clues will be in xorg.conf in the "Device" section, it might be that your hardware hasn't been detected properly, but you need to look and tell us what's in there, and what you have in your computer ... [11:43] Is there a way in Ubuntu to look for packages not needed by the system anymore. i realy neet to clean up ツ [11:43] kalatian, okay,:)i will stop this netinstall,hhehe [11:43] ArmedKing: yep, sudo apt-get autoremove [11:43] kalatian, i'l try and find an alternative once i finish my homework :P [11:43] lol k [11:44] kalatian, Kudo's for you man ツ Tnx [11:45] hi, i'm tring to install ubuntu 7.10 on a laptop (Packard Bell easy-note e3264) when i try to "start or install ubuntu" it fail :-( giving me a long error-log on the screen . in it i can see : [11:45] kalatian, you run 7.10 in 96 ram,how is it working [11:45] Did you check http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57918/ spentrocket? [11:45] Hey kalatian, Audacity is superb software, especially when you think of how much you paid for it :-) [11:46] icesword: it isn't pretty, but I think that's because the processor is only 300mhz -- the ram shouldn't be a problem [11:46] SpentRocket: no no, I know that, just saying the controls don't match the GTK theme [11:46] not complaining :D [11:46] epifanio: what it says.. [11:46] hdc : error code 0X70 sense_key:0x03 asc: 0x15 ascq: 0x00 [11:46] SpentRocket: I got what you mean now sorry it took so long. This is the correct one. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57919/ [11:46] and [11:47] sqashhfs error ...

[11:48] epifanio: try run that check install media, or similiar sounding selections at when you boot from cd/dvd [11:48] hm one last question, how do you read text files in command line environment? [11:48] Leafman, more foobar.txt [11:48] Leafman, or less whatever.txt [11:48] Leafman ... vi [11:49] Leafman, or cat, vi, nano, mc, or so on.. [11:49] k [11:49] Leafman, if its compressed you can use zmore whatever [11:49] and besides, audacity would loose functionality if the controls were pure gtk [11:49] este vreo un roman pe aici [11:49] ? [11:50] * cyphase thinks it's going to be strange when Ubuntu versions get into the quadruple digits, e.g. 10.04, 10.10 [11:50] Having moved from VaxVMS to Unix about 10 years ago I hated vi, but when you get used to it you'll get to accept it :-) [11:50] i was thinking of saving something using gedit in .txt format lol [11:51] I'm just trying to figure out why when I record from the line in, static is in the sound, but when it plays through my speakers from line in, it sounds perfect [11:51] kalatian, i want to do a netinstall,coz i only the parts which is useful to me,like openoffice,i don't like it,so after i installed ubuntu,shall i use "sudo apt-get remove openoffice " to uninstall it totally? === ktogias__ is now known as ktogias [11:52] icesword: you can do that, you can also do your netinstall it you want -- you might even be able to convince the netinstall to use an alt. install CD [11:52] cad [11:52] to pull the packages from [11:52] well time to try this out [11:53] kalatian, yeah,that is great,how to ?convince the netinstall to use an alt install cd [11:54] Section "Device" [11:54] Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" [11:54] Driver "i810" [11:54] BusID "PCI:0:2:0" [11:54] EndSection [11:54] Section "Device" [11:54] Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" [11:54] Driver "i810" [11:54] BusID "PCI:0:2:0" [11:54] EndSection [11:54] Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller" Driver "i810" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection [11:54] haha [11:54] oh wow sorry :( lol [11:54] I want to show /dev/console in an xterm? I can not figure this out? nor do I see any thing on the ubuntuforums [11:54] KyleSloderbeck, are you crazy [11:55] KyleSloderbeck: just learnes that middle button pastes stuff ? [11:55] i think i hit the wrong shortcut ;) haha [11:55] icesword: not sure if it is possible, but I know that if you put an alt. install cd in after installing ubuntu, you can use the apt-cdrom command to get the packages off of it [11:55] :-/. anybody know why I cannot remove ubuntu-desktop? [11:55] Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly? They show up but they're too small [11:55] KyleSloderbeck: you're lucky the floodbot is MIA ;) [11:56] KyleSloderbeck: X dosen't work at all? [11:56] guys I tried to install ATI drivers according to the instruction (enabled the restricted drivers) but now I get an empty screen... where do I disable them? /etc/X11.... ? [11:56] tokyoahead: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:56] tokyoahead: try editing /etc/X11xorg.conf [11:56] kalatian, ok,that is it,i installed a cli only system,then put alternate one in cdrom,then i can do it,what is command exactly [11:56] lol yes i am [11:57] Not sure what you mean simplexio. [11:57] anybody here knows ISP4you? [11:57] icesword: I think you can do apt-cdrom add, put the cd in, then when you try to install a package found on the CD, it will grab it from there instead of the internet [11:57] simplexio: I am there... what do I put in instead? I have driver fglrx... [11:58] tokyoahead: you can put "ati" (w/o the quotes) or "vesa" (again, w/o the quotes) [11:58] tokyoahead: vesa shouls work [11:58] so instead of "fglrx" with quotes I put vesa w/o quotes? [11:59] hi all-having a problem with wireless... I was using it fine, then I gave the laptop to my gf for a minute, and she gave it back and wireless wasn't working... when i click the network monitor, no wireless networks show up (even though in the past there were 20 or more... any idea what happened? [11:59] i'm tring the option : check CD for defects, now it executing : Checking inetgrity, thise may take some time .......... (just to give you some ideas about, i also tried to install a debian stable netinstall but it fail to install the kernel module) [12:00] tokyoahead - think you need quotes in that file - replace "fglrx" with "vesa" [12:00] hello, who know a alternative editor for bluefish [12:00] achtzehn: did you try ifdown, ifdown cycle ? [12:01] achtzehn - did your gf turn the wireless off ie with the switch that laptops sometimes have? [12:02] danand this laptop doesnt have a switch [12:02] tokyoahead: danand: sorry, that was stupid of me, you need quotes around the driver name (I meant, just replace fglrx with ati, and leave the quotes ;) [12:02] memento: maybe quanta+ [12:02] kalatian: thanks :-) [12:03] Having problems with cleaning a Ubuntu Gutsy, the apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop does not remove properly. I am trying to have a base system with BIND, shorewall and Webmin gatway box. The rest of the apps I dont need. [12:03] tokyoahead, your ubuntu is ok now?

[12:09] i have two monitors but they are both the same [12:09] LukeL, was just doin a random guess based on the time difference [12:09] and the option is greyed out [12:09] LukeL, what?your @ is so long ,it is not easy to guess,:) [12:09] when I choose 'shut down' on my ubuntu, it doesn't shot down my pc, but it just unloads the ubuntu and stays turned on. how do I make it to turn off completely? [12:10] crow, how old is your PC? [12:10] guys, i done checking integrity, : check finished: errors in 412 files! press any key to reboot your system :-( [12:10] 2y [12:10] should support soft shutdown, try shutdown now -h [12:10] Is there a way to request a list of availiable IPs from a DHCP server? [12:11] crow, if that doesn't power it off you may be out of luck [12:11] davit - sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop? if you have tried that what errors do you get [12:11] Or request an IP from a DHCP server within a certain user-defined range [12:11] I don't think you can pick an IP from DHCP being a client [12:11] OBTW crow, that's from a command line and don't forget to put sudo in front [12:11] mbamford, sure [12:11] LukeL: bad news for me then :( [12:11] neeto [12:12] mbrandt, thanks [12:12] mbrandt: [12:12] neeto you can bind an IP address to a MAC address in the dhcp server options [12:12] If you run the DHCP server then yeah you can probably configure it to a specific IP or reserve by MAC [12:12] danand I did not get error as I used webmin from remote. it displayed files have been removed. I not checking the box. [12:12] another thing: what is good c++ compiler that I can run on ubuntu? [12:13] which* [12:13] crow gcc [12:13] * mbrandt is not a program roller man [12:13] I got some intel c++ but it doesn't compile some codes [12:13] mbrandt, LukeL : I am merely a client... a pawn, a slave of the master college network... the virtual network fortress that I am trapped inside. No outside access... I am alone in this cold dark underworld of slow downloads and bittorrent traffic shaping... [12:13] opps Danand. I mean .. I will check the box directly soon. [12:13] neeto, LOL, sorry man [12:14] davit - can you not ssh into the box? [12:14] crow, install build-essential, do a synaptic search for it. [12:15] rudolfmdlt, what is 'build-essential'? something to update my c++ or? [12:15] crow, sudo apt-get install build-essential [12:15] its the basic files needed for C devevopment [12:15] To retain my livelyhood I have investigated many ways of getting past the restrictions set upon me by my sadistic gateway server... however as it has been a perilous journey, my troubles do not seem to end so easily... [12:15] !info build-essential [12:15] build-essential (source: build-essential): informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB [12:15] essential packages needed to build thibngs from source. :) [12:16] NO! Not at all. The machine will be the end of me! DAMN YOU SANDVINE!! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!! [12:16] neeto: if you are being restricted at university, contact the admins of the network. We're not hot on helping you bypass it here. [12:16] hi! i'm trying to resize my winxp ntfs so that i can increase the space of my ubuntu ext3 ... but it seems the drive orders limits this process. i tried in gparted (via livecd) or even partition magic (via winxp). still i can/do not know how to solve this. do i have to create these new partitions from scratch? any help will be appreciated. thx [12:16] PriceChild: You take the fun out of everything man, grow a sense of humor. [12:16] crow, yeah, I'm a network engineer, i'm the guy that locks yuo down [12:16] rather neeto [12:17] nu2buntu, ive seen where it depends on the drive layout and what partitions are extended and what are logical - can cause issues. [12:17] I'm still having problems getting desktop effects to work. I can't find anything. Error Message " Desktop effects could not be enabled " [12:17] Danand, yes but now at the box looking at logs but dont know what I am looking for. Nothing appears wrong, except Destop is still loaded! [12:17] nu2buntu, it seems to work easier if all the partitions are primaries. [12:17] crow, it is a packadge that contains all the files you need to be able to compile and build a C++ application [12:17] KyleSloderbeck, what is your chipset for your videocard? [12:17] ok thanks [12:17] can I install a hardy package in gutsy? [12:18] davit - did you shutdown X before you removed the desktop [12:18] KyleSloderbeck: i810 driver in X? then those effects wont work [12:18] crow, it is not an IDE though. if want an easy to use IDE to program C or C++ in, try CodeBlocks [12:18] i810 Intl [12:18] Yes that is it [12:18] LukeL, [12:18] Morning all [12:18] mbrandt: I hope to one day achieve your status as the gatekeeper to the world outside... the world of unlimited bandwidth, piracy and illegal warez. I dream of a time when I can frollic in the feilds of ripped Xvid DVD Screeners and cracked versions of anything... one day... [12:19] KyleSloderbeck , won't work [12:19] Opps, No. [12:19] Is there a way to get around that? [12:19] davit - can you reboot the machine? [12:19] I had it yesterday where it was working with the same graphics. But I reinstalled and have no idea how it happened. [12:19] Dr_willis: i'm not sure what are they..primaries or logicals... but i cant increase the size of my ext3 ... any way to solve this ? [12:19] LukeL, i guess you are from Canada [12:19] quick question. running ubuntu 7.10 installed with generic kernels which kernels should I use if I have a dual opteron system? or should I reinstall with amd64? [12:20] icesword yeah I am, but my hostname ends in .com so it's sometimes confused [12:20] KyleSloderbeck: you sure that driver didnt change ? [12:20] cjsstables, unless have a real reason (4gb ram, special programs, reasons to use x64) stick with the 32bit kernels (generic) [12:20] nu2buntu, see what gparted says tehy are., You may have to resize one at a time, and do it in several stages. You Might have resize one shrinking it. and putting the space in the next one by enlarging it. [12:20] yes i have 4 gb ram [12:21] cjsstables, >4gb [12:21] LukeL, how did you set that complex hostname and also that long [12:21] I go back to remote, and start again. First reboot, then shutdown X (how is this done - startx stop?) [12:21] nu2buntu, not sure if gparted can convert extended/logicals into primaries - That would be nice if it could. [12:21] Simplexio : I'm not sure, it may have.. I did install different chipsets on the synaptic package manager. [12:21] will there be any any performce enhancement [12:21] LukeL, i thought you use a proxy server [12:21] Dr_willis: if i create another (new) ext3 partition... can i use that partition to install applications for ubuntu ? [12:21] Hello there ! Can anyone help me please? How can I change the standard input on my Ubuntu 7.10 from DOLLAR to EURO? [12:21] Wasn't sure what I was downloading.. Just experimenting a little bit. [12:21] davit - /etc/init.d/gdm stop should stop X [12:21] cjsstables, be aware that there is a lot more work involved in getting an x64 system working ... yes there would be an improvement in performance [12:22] FREEDOM WILL BE MINE! I AM A SLAVE NO LONGER! HEAR ME NOW RESNET! YOU CANNOT CONTROL ME! YOU CANNOT OWN ME! I AM HUMAN! I HAVE A RIGHT TO PIRATE AND PLUNDER EVERY TORRENT TRACKER ON THE INTERWEBZ!! [12:22] nu2buntu, normally the package manager puts stuff in the proper subdirs under /, you dont have a single dir that apps go in. You could move some other stuff like /home to a new partition if you wanted I guess. [12:22] !shout ... [12:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about shout ... - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:22] !shout [12:22] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [12:22] hischild is all the same software available? [12:22] |caps | neeto [12:22] hey does anyone in here know how to add launchers to the avant window bar ?? [12:22] !ot > neeto [12:22] or will I have to compile it myself? [12:22] Hello there ! Can anyone help me please? How can I change the standard input on my Ubuntu 7.10 from DOLLAR to EURO? [12:22] !switchToDecafe | neeto [12:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about switchtodecafe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:22] Dr_willis: once i resize them one by one .. i will have one huge unlocated space which still... i cant move it to my primary / ext3 [12:23] HAHA! [12:23] cjsstables, all the same software is available, yet you will have to compile some yourself as it isn't available for x64 [12:23] You use the bot to do your bidding [12:23] but your plans have been foiled. [12:23] nu2buntu, perhaps. perhaps you will be able to move it to one of them. resizing / can result in the uuid changing also. That may cause issues. [12:23] neeto, no :-) it did :-) [12:23] ok cool. what if I just installed the -server kernels instead [12:23] I win again Dr. Willis... a formidable opponent [12:23] nonetheless [12:24] thks ...its just reboothin now [12:24] cjsstables, what are you trying to get running? what goal should it serve? [12:24] Hello there ! Can anyone help me please? How can I change the standard input on my Ubuntu 7.10 from DOLLAR to EURO? [12:24] help please where can i get rt73 driver for my gutsy [12:24] looking for a high end work station [12:24] cjsstables, ok ... what are you going to use it for? [12:24] video editing [12:24] Blekkaard - look in System -> preferences -> keyboard [12:24] linux rocks! [12:25] who can tell me,what is that choice in alternate cd ,oem is for what [12:25] X stop I think. no process running on X [12:25] cjsstables, have you made your choice on video software yet? [12:25] larson9999 - GNU/linux!! [12:25] danand It's not the keyboard: I'm using Librepos and it uses Dollars in stead of Euro's (cause I am in Belgium) [12:25] who can tell me,what is that choice in alternate cd ,oem is for what [12:25] Dr_willis: my only solution is ... reformat the whole hdd..and create new partions accordingly i guess...too bad i make a sloppy mistake giving winxp 75% space of which i dont really need right now... i have plans to use winxp on virtualbox instead... how many Gbs would it take ? [12:25] icesword, that lets a company like dell or whoever. make a 'restore/fast install' type cd. [12:25] icesword: for installing without a user so oem (see dell) can sell preinstalled machines [12:25] no0tic: just investigating. we are looking to record performace horses and their gate (how they run) and then play it back for analysis [12:25] nu2buntu, i normally give my virtual machines about 8gb :) [12:26] danand, ah, yes... the GNU nazis. i prefer to do without. GNU rocks, too, though. [12:26] cjsstables, i know i'm asking a lot of questions ... but it's the only way to be sure that it runs smooth [12:26] cjsstables: not bad idea to google about rt-kernel for ubuntu [12:26] anyone know if the laptop harddisk problem has been fixed yet? (the one where the harddisk spins up & down too much, causing it to die earlier) [12:26] Dr_willis: see... i only got 4 gbs left on my ext3... and 16gbs unused on ntfs :( [12:26] larson9999, please play nice [12:26] simplexio, rt-kernel is real time kernel right? [12:26] I'm guessing alot of rewinding with the video software and alot of zooming [12:27] hischild: yeh [12:27] nu2buntu, sounds like you need to go buy another HD. [12:27] Dr_willis: thx for your advise doc [12:27] elkbuntu, what's that? linux for elk? [12:27] nu2buntu, next time make the partitions all primaries if you can rember. [12:27] or low-latency, thogh i dont have no idea how good are they or are they stull usefull. i use custom kernel [12:27] Dr_willis: i got another extra 80gb just for storing files [12:27] and we will be storing video clips to so we can compare afte making shoeing and equipment changes [12:27] now the apt-get remove does not find ubuntu-desktop, but is still there as I just shut it down [12:27] larson9999 - GNU nazis??? what? if GNU didn't exist you would _not_ have the linux kernel. the linux kernel is compiled using GNU compilers [12:28] ...I have ubuntu on my toshiba and a dead hd [12:28] !gnu | larson9999 [12:28] larson9999: G(NU's) N(ot) U(nix). A project that aimed to develop a complete operating system of Free Software, which Ubuntu is based on. See http://gnu.org [12:28] nu2buntu, 80? heh heh.. :) thats all? You dont want to know the storage i got on my machines. [12:28] guys how can fine-tune screen-effects? i can set it only to three levels... [12:28] Dr_willis: i will work on it right away...thx for reminding :) [12:28] I had to replace it last week [12:28] larson9999, yes, special inputs for their hoofs. are you here to ask or help, or to be annoying [12:28] danand, calm please [12:28] !ccsm | tokyoahead [12:28] tokyoahead: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [12:28] !ccsm | tokyoahead [12:28] simplexio, rt-kernel ... i know they have advantages ... but can you explain them quick or shall i just look it up? [12:28] i have 2.13 GHz CPU, but in /proc/cpuinfo, "cpu MHz" says 1603.000, why? [12:28] ok [12:28] elkbuntu - grrrr... :) - just bugs me a bit! [12:28] danand, i know, no need to feed though [12:29] Dr_willis: yea... i usually burn them to dvds to save space. i'm sure you got more ! [12:29] Dr_willis: thanks! [12:29] hischild: rt real time better responsiveness latencies etc (see music production or pseudo real time systems) [12:29] nu2buntu, been doing that all night to free up some space also. [12:29] elkbuntu - i just got dragged into that didn't I .... baahhh [12:29] mooboo1: maybe frequencie scaling is enabled [12:29] Dr_willis: what's the best burning software on ubuntu ? [12:29] cjsstables, yeah ... like simplexio suggested .... look up rt-kernel ... [12:29] nu2buntu, i use k3b [12:29] hi all, does anyone know where i can go to request that the ubuntu repos use the latest stable version of evolution? [12:29] erUSUL, is that good or bad? [12:30] ok thanks guys [12:30] elkbuntu, i thought maybe elkbuntu was another flavor of ubuntu. there are tons. [12:30] cjsstables, and unless your video software supports 64bit, stay with 32bit [12:30] hischild: i did some testing with jack audio system, w/o rt kernel latency was 50->100ms with rt-kernel is was usually under 10ms, but i dont do audio so [12:30] Dr_willis: and also for creating dvd movies? i usually use convertxtodvd ... which is so helpful [12:30] Ibycus, it will get updated with the next release most likely. thats how ubuntu works. [12:30] simplexio, aah ... that is kind of a huge difference [12:30] anyone know if the laptop harddisk problem has been fixed yet? (the one where the harddisk spins up & down too much, causing it to die earlier) [12:30] mooboo1: i have it enabled too and it gets to full speed when needed and lower speed when iddle you save power [12:30] Dr_willis: yes k3b is on my system already :) [12:30] nu2buntu, i rarely convert to dvd movies. Ive used that devded program a few times. [12:30] erUSUL, oh awesome! :D [12:31] cjsstables: i recommend that you upgrade kernel to attleast .23 or .24 for me change from .22 to .23 was noticeable on desktop use [12:31] simplexio: new cfs scheduler ;) [12:31] Dr_willis: well its a bug fix version of evolution, not a new branch. ubuntu has 2.12.1, latest is 2.12.3. I was under the impression that ubuntu released bug fixes on the same version of a program? [12:31] erUSUL: yeh. [12:31] danand, yeah, i just think those who insist on GNU/linux are a bit heavy handed. why not GNU/ubuntu et al? [12:31] .23 is muuch nicer to use on desktop [12:31] Guys, how i can list .* files [12:31] Dr_willis: i never know how virtualbox works... will all softwares installed work if i open them through ubuntu? [12:31] Ibycus, depends on the bug. [12:32] Linux Ubuntu [12:32] ok. I installed the meta package for the multimedia. hope that will be a good start [12:32] .24 isnt nicer? [12:32] Bad_boy: ls -a [12:32] It's not another SO [12:32] erUSUL: cheers bud [12:32] and am sure to at least upgrade to .24 [12:32] (in my opinion) [12:32] mooboo1: i didnt notice any difference between .23 and .24 [12:32] ls-a [12:32] Dr_willis: I only say this because I encountered a nasty bug in evolution that causes it to crash instantly on opening a particular type of email message [12:32] simplexio, oh [12:32] nu2buntu, virtual box and vmware emulate a whole machine so most windows apps will work ok. [12:32] thanks guys [12:32] now running .24.2 [12:32] Dr_willis: apparently it's fixed in 2.12.3 [12:33] does anyone experience their desktop get non-responsive or frozen sometimes? [12:33] Ibycus, file a bug report then i guess. and note its fixed. it may be in backports or some other repos allready. or in the works. [12:33] mooboo1: but .24 should be little better in scheluding on other stuff [12:33] !info evolution [12:33] evolution (source: evolution): groupware suite with mail client and organizer. In component main, is optional. Version 2.12.1-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 2461 kB, installed size 7868 kB [12:33] If I just add hardy to my apt sources, and then install a package, is it likely to create problems? [12:33] oh [12:33] Dr_willis: do i submit a bug report on launchpad? [12:33] is it possible that an application can use 100% of CPU? [12:33] I am using the nvidia restricted drivers through gutsy but desktop effects won't start any ideas? [12:33] currently running kernel 2.6.22-14 #1 smp [12:33] Ibycus, might want to search there first - see if theres allready a thread on it. [12:34] Dr_willis: I went to launchpad and couldn't actually find a link that says "submit bug" - but ill have a search first anyway [12:34] is it possible that an application can cause the system to become unresponsive? [12:34] moobol seems to be a bit of an issue for many. especially with gutsy. for me it the combinatino of nvidia+gutsy+power management not playing nice. i disabled the power management services and haven't had any locksups or temporary freezes since. [12:34] oh [12:34] mooboo1: badly coded GUI one, yes [12:35] simplexio, shouldn't it be impossible? [12:35] Dr_willis: i will try virtualbox as soon as i get space :p thx ... [12:35] mooboo1: i have no eproblems, no compiz, systems load over 5 and desktop runs fine ( X2 3800+, 2G RAM, 6600GT nvidia) [12:35] oh [12:36] scanning documents in ubuntu is pretty complicated ... any recommendation on a good OCR software... [12:36] ? [12:36] mooboo1, funny think is with arch linux on this same laptop i don't have those issues. [12:36] i have core2duo, 4gb ram, compiz... it have happen that everything except the mouse been frozen [12:36] larson9999, oh [12:36] mooboo1: kernel? [12:36] My title bars are HUGE. [12:36] simplexio, right now .24 [12:36] Why is that? [12:36] So for some reason, the back/forward buttons on my mouse, are mapped by default to right/middle click. I can map the keys using btnx, but the right/middle click functions remain. Every time I go back, I also open a context menu on the page... how can I disable the initial functions of the mouse buttons? [12:37] AquaFox, maybe System->preferences->appearance [12:37] mooboo1, and do what? [12:37] I am using the nvidia restricted drivers through gutsy but desktop effects won't start any ideas? [12:37] neeto, i have same problem with my mouse :( [12:37] mooboo1: my best quess would be compiz, iff dmesg dosnt't output any error from hardware [12:37] simplexio, oh [12:37] mooboo1, it's obvious you never tried going to 'appearance' [12:37] mooboo1: no fix? [12:38] AquaFox, i did [12:38] Okay then, mooboo1 what to do when there? [12:38] AquaFox, i guess maybe you changed something, if not, then i have no idea, try change to another theme, then back again [12:38] mooboo1, ubuntu started this theme. [12:38] The live CD booted with this theme. [12:38] neeto, none that i know [12:38] AquaFox, oh strange [12:38] mooboo1: what top tell your about system loads weh nsystem freezes [12:39] AquaFox, report it on bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ and attach a screeenshot [12:39] hi there can anyone help me with ubuntu and the libs? [12:39] in my experience, usually to fix those mouse buttons, all that's needed is to set the proper configur in xorg.conf. so far i haven't had a mouse that i couldn't google and find a page with the correct xorg.conf lines. [12:39] simplexio, no idea, its frozen, so i cant use top :p [12:39] i'm new to linux and i've to code something in C [12:39] larson9999, ya but i dont wanna google, in windows "it just works" [12:39] I am using the nvidia restricted drivers through gutsy but desktop effects won't start any ideas?

[13:09] erUSUL, once a month we have a youth meeting where we have a digital camera hooked up to a laptop by firewire.

I have no icons installed how do I do that [13:10] ArmedKing: add this to your ~/.bashrc: alias ls='ls --color=auto' [13:10] I have a problem with some disappearing files and folders on a ext3 formatted drive. I tried rebooting - running 7.10 all latest patchs [13:10] ArmedKing: next time you login it will be read, but you can do "alias ls='ls --color=auto'" now to save logging out/in [13:11] hi... [13:12] hischild: http://lives.sourceforge.net/ [13:12] disappearing files ? [13:12] ubuntu does that ? [13:12] Is it possible to have someone get in my computer and fix my problem?

I only know its the only partition on /dev/sdc1... [13:14] tokyoahead: grub itself can tell you if you run it [13:14] erUSUL, woah ... that looks nice o.O [13:14] tokyoahead: but Ubuntu adds disks as required, no need for you to do anything [13:14] adaptr: so I run grub form the command line? [13:14] yes [13:15] l3on: ci sei ancora? [13:15] nerdsquad3210: It was one drive only - all the other drives are working correctly [13:15] quit [13:15] setup up a raid [13:15] KyleSloderbeck, have you tried running compiz.real --replace? [13:16] Nope [13:16] I'll try that [13:16] what FS are you using ? [13:16] sharkp: yep [13:16] ext2 or 3 [13:16] KyleSloderbeck, if that doesn't work, you can run gtk-window-decorator --replace to get things back to normal [13:16] adaptr: I ran it, how do I ask it to tell me what devices It found? [13:17] l3on: (preferisci l'inglese o l'italiano?) [13:17] use rasiserfs its the linux killer FS :P [13:17] I need help w/ 2 questions: First, on startup I must hit Alt-F1 to boot, and it tells me "kinit: No Resume Disk Image".

[13:18] hi'' [13:18] adaptr: that just repeats the current line... [13:18] but they said there was a version for warrock on ubuntu? [13:18] im need put subtittles in mplayer and totem under video image [13:19] adaptr: ah I missed a space before the ( [13:19] jk_: really? So, I don't know... [13:19] tokyoahead: yeah, sorry - i always forget that [13:19] ks3: That made it basically so i can't move anything that is opened. No x's in the top right or anything. [13:19] on another note - is there a way to stop Gparted scanning for a floppy drive? [13:19] do I need to unistall my intel c++ compiler, before installing gcc? [13:19] hak5fan, that should happen... [13:19] jk_: What turns up if you google: ubuntu, warrock? [13:20] KyleSloderbeck, ok, you can run metacity --replace to get those back. did it give any useful errors? [13:20] l3on: so?could you help me? [13:20] some forums come up nad some say click here to download [13:20] adaptr: so I can see which aone is dev/sdc1? [13:20] Where can one find the definitions applicable to the terms used in /proc/meminfo? (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/53182/) [13:20] tokyoahead: no, unfortunately grub names them 0, 1, 2... [13:20] adaptr: ok, so I have to guess and try? [13:20] tokyoahead: but you can detect which ones are bootable cq have grub data on them [13:20] should i try to nstall warrock with the terminal? [13:21] tokyoahead: I presume in all this that your new disk has an actual OS on it that you wish to boot ? [13:21] give it a go, worst it'll do is tell you it couldn't find the package ^_^ [13:21] tokyoahead, check /boot/grub/device.map. it shows which linux devices map to which grub drives [13:21] ks3: good one [13:21] i friend of mine told me that if you dont belive in hacker i should try linux ... [13:21] adaptr: yes I unplugged it during linux setup [13:21] * adaptr never messes with grub anymore, it's hardly ever necessary [13:21] ks3: thanks I will try that [13:21] i friend of mine told me that if you dont belive in hackers you should try linux ... [13:21] ks3: It said a certain thing was not installed. Would you like me to try that again and see what wasn't installed? [13:22] ks3: there is only the first HD in there [13:22] how cna i make my dektop to a giant cube? [13:22] KyleSloderbeck, sure [13:22] ks3: when I installed grub the other hds were not installed, maye thats why [13:22] jk_: crush it in a car compactor, I think [13:22] is anyone any good with bluetooth headset connections? and patient enough to explain something to a newb? [13:22] tokyoahead, ok. just run grub from the command line and it should update the file [13:22] hibernate and suspend just kick me to black screen w/ cursor, unable to resume using laptop, any suggestions to fix this? === SociallyClumsy is now known as MindOfChaos [13:23] i want to make the screen look like a giant cube that turns [13:23] nerdsquad3210, how is that a Ubuntu question - methinks you are offtopic http://www.ubuntu.com and check out the downloads if you want to try it] [13:23] ks3: It has 2 fatal errors.. [13:23] jk_, you need to enable desktop effects for that [13:23] ks3: nah it does not... [13:23] anyone ever used wine doors? [13:23] As The Cube Turns, seems like the cheesy pun title of a sure hit web show [13:23] 22222 [13:23] ks3: fatal : GLX EXT texture from pixmap is mixxing. Fatal No manageable screens found on display [13:24] frost0: whats your problem, i use it occasionally [13:24] joff, no problem....just curious if it is worth the install? [13:24] question: I just read on phoronix that nexuiz 2.4 has been released. Is there a way for me to follow a package and see when a new release will be packaged for ubuntu? [13:24] i just got a virus on linux =O [13:24] J #ZECHAN [13:25] jk_: no you didn't [13:25] jk_, doubt so [13:25] frost0 if you need win apps that you would have to use windows for then yes === ere4sli is now known as ere4si [13:25] KyleSloderbeck, not sure on that one. do you know if you're using the intel or the i810 X driver? [13:25] the first sign your OS has gone main stream, virus constructors now target you ^_^ [13:25] ks3: yes i am using that [13:25] joff, how big is the download? [13:25] frost0 not too big if i remember [13:26] frost0 look here www.winehq.com [13:26] ks3: Also, window manager warning " " found in configuration database is not a valid value for keybinding "toggle_shaded" [13:26] ok I figured out how to fix the problem... the drive was not mounted correctly, maybe a bug - so I umount, and then mount again and it came up just fine [13:26] why cant i watch youtube videos the screen starts going black?

[13:36] what is the best way to automatically backup files to another drive... not a raid, and also get it to automatically backup on boot and as soon as a file is added or changed [13:36] KyleSloderbeck, and choose the vid driver at the appropriate window [13:37] !backup | Warfy [13:37] Warfy: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [13:37] ere4si : I did that in the terminal and it asks for my password and i hit enter (have no password) and it just brings the kyle@kyle-laptop up again. [13:37] frost0 just a sugestion but if you want to cover all bases you could install the windows os with virualbox and run what you need through that, as its a full version it cannot be contested [13:38] ere4si : nevermind it brought it up. [13:38] KyleSloderbeck, your user should have a password - the login password [13:38] joff, hold on...what is the command for free space? [13:38] <_Oz_> I have a window that won't close. How can I find the process and kill it in the terminal? [13:38] joff, again* via terminal. [13:38] ok i can get my machine to talk to the headset, unfortuanatly i cannot get it to run as an audio device [13:38] <_Oz_> I mainly need the command to "list all processes" and then I think I type "kill (ID)" [13:38] !fglrx [13:38] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:38] frost0: df -h [13:39] brobostigon, thx [13:39] joff, i have 8.6 gb free. [13:39] _Oz_, top in the terminal is the command - then hit k then type the pid [13:39] joff, is that enough? [13:39] <_Oz_> ere4si: thanks [13:39] should be enough if you just use it for basic apps [13:40] ere4si : I did that and chose the driver Intel which is the one I wanted now i'm at the 2nd screen and at the bottom it says ok. I can't hit enter though. [13:40] _Oz_, there is a panel app called force quit that I use for that - it's easier [13:40] joff, no 3d support....correct? [13:40] erUSUL, checked out some lives demo's ... that's seriously amazing .. that's _exactly_ what i was lookin for [13:40] KyleSloderbeck, hit tab then enter [13:41] ere4si : lol, i'm such a noob.

[13:42] hello my keyboard and touchpad stopped working with ubuntu :| [13:43] they don't even work with the live cd [13:43] frost0 whatever free games you can find that run in windows run in wine [13:43] frost0, there a good free games that run with native linux [13:43] frost0 thats the whole point of it :) [13:43] at boot i can choose between my installations with arrows etc. but after it i have nothing that works [13:43] larson9999, i've bet i've played them all.. [13:43] ere4si : I am at the resolution now. I'm on a widescreen but not sure which one to choose [13:44] frost0, Have you tried the open source of SimCity classic?

[13:45] *that [13:45] hello [13:45] the live cd did the same thing [13:45] cyrus, huh...maybe different game.....what are you talking about :) [13:45] it never did something like that before [13:45] ere4si : ok, i'm finished doing that. It has also created a backup it says. Do I need to restart or has it already done its thing? [13:45] frost0, it is all good =). I am going to eat breakfast. Later everyone. [13:45] bullgard4, in the source for the kernel and the kernel newbies mailing list archive - it is all good stuff [13:46] KyleSloderbeck, ctrl+alt+bksp to restart x and login [13:46] cyrusjunior, bye. [13:46] ere4si : Ok thank you. [13:46] k [13:46] hi, i keep disconnecting from my wireless network.. and the only way to get it back is by rebooting my computer, can anyone help me? [13:46] <_Oz_> question: is there a good disk management tool that lets me easily see how much data is stored on all my hard drives (and can then show you directories in order of descending size so I can find where the "big stuff" is? [13:46] <_Oz_> ) [13:47] pah. now it works, thoght X died for somereason [13:47] xidarian: you could write a script to do that...

[13:48] bullgard4, you need to attack google with a definitions /proc/meminfo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs can help some, be aware there is some speculation that tells you that some of what you read is not what it appears to be documented at [13:48] s/at/as [13:48] frost0: yes, use wine,the both use wine [13:48] <_Oz_> anyone here use mediamaster? [13:49] brobostigon, but, isn't there a cvs release? of cedega which is better for games? [13:49] KyleSloderbeck, is it better now? [13:49] frost0: no idea [13:49] Hi, What Does This Mean? libglib2.0-dev: Depends: libglib2.0-0 (=2.14.1-1ubuntu1) but 2.15.6-0ubuntu2 is to be installed [13:50] ere4si : It is running on the new driver thank you.

[13:50] hm, what is wrong with my jailed user? I am trying to start irssi. I have copied all the irssi files that are needed to the jail, I get this error: http://www.pastebin.ca/924557 [13:50] frost0, for me it's political. i decided not to play games that don't support linux. i make an exception for old games like dos games and c64 stuff. but i barely have time to play one game through a year :) [13:51] jrib: I installed a .deb for my new iPod. How do I fix it then? [13:51] KyleSloderbeck, was it the i810 driver - that is 2d [13:51] simplexio: no idea, no experience wih mplayer, sorry [13:51] RootyRootRootW00: what did you install exactly [13:51] hello my keyboard and touchpad stopped working with ubuntu :| can someone help me?

[13:53] jrib: I haven't (to my knowlegde) touched my sources list, am working on other pastebin [13:54] ere4si : yes, it is 945G [13:54] xidarian_: I'd go with python, it has a csv module. But any scripting language you are comfortable with would work [13:54] is there a known problem with wireless network on 7.10? i keep disconnecting after a few hours, and i cant reconnect unless i reboot my computer.

[14:28] RootyRootRootW00, it is so core to the os that it would be faster to backup all your data and do a fresh install [14:28] That's not true, I've downgraded through Synaptic before.

[14:31] sarixe: not bad, just odd. x86-64 usually gets useful at 4GB since that is an amount a normal 32bit install usually can't use. for a desktop 64bit is a hassle since theris no java plugin or flash plugin [14:31] RootyRootRootW00, your call both give the same end result [14:31] sarixe: ubuntu itself works but some prorpietary stuff doesn't [14:31] wols_ : so it's probably better to stay in 32-bit then?

[16:49] anyone [16:49] DirtyMonkey: man chown ;) [16:49] Lartza_: like SCANDIR and serveral other functions right? [16:49] exerdigit-> which firefox version did you install? do you have a /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and/or /usr/lib/firefox*/plugins ?

The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[16:53] Newbuntu2-> then most likely it has a Makefile, that should have the path to where your headers are.. [16:53] any suggestions on slideshows?

[16:54] exerdigit-> those directories are own by root, so you have to use sudo cp /path/to/where/libjavaplugin.so /usr/lib/firefox*/plugins [16:54] man you guys got problems :P [16:54] erUSUL: I already have the latest version [16:54] mrunagi: I'm sure there is plenty of stuff you could use, I just don't know of any off the top of my head.

[16:57] erUSUL: among 3 or 4 other different attempts. I only managed to confuse myself more... [16:57] Hey guys, I'm running gutsy on an HP laptop. I'm using ndiswrapper to get wireless with wpasupplicant, and it does work. The only problem I have, is that every time I login, I have to open the network manager and clear out and type my passkey back in to get it to reconnect [16:58] Newbuntu2: they mention that you need "ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build " [16:58] Any ideas? I'm almost to the point that I'm going to write a short shell script to run the iwconfig commands manually. [16:58] erUSUL: do I type that in like that? [16:58] rhsanborn: try sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx then sudo modprobe bcm43xx [16:58] if that works, then you were in the same situation as me [16:58] rhsanborn-> you can make it permanent, modify /etc/network/interfaces to put your keys and such [16:58] I guess I'll post my question on ubuntuforums ... thanks though. [16:58] oh different problem [16:58] sorry :P [16:59] Newbuntu2: better follow the guide from start to end [16:59] rhsanborn-> man interfaces for options you can put in there [16:59] ffm, oh, I got it... capital C. Thanks! This is awesome!!!! [16:59] amenado, I was hoping the gui interface would make it permanent. If I add the lines to the interface file, will I have to change that if I move my laptop to another wireless network? [16:59] erUSUL: those are instructions for 5.10 though; I'm using 7.10 [17:00] spawN busted by #Sacralis @ ESL -> http://ESL2009.uk.to/ [17:00] hendrixski: the magic of FOSS, and *nix in general! [17:00] rhsanborn-> off course it will change, different network have different keys [17:00] When I try access my a Samba share on another computer I get this error: http://i26.tinypic.com/2e5plhf.jpg [17:00] pushpop- who's spawn? [17:00] senselab, I think that it has found the wireless card correctly, it certainly knows how to use it. It's just isn't convenient. [17:00] PriceChild: having a CLI only interface for this music player is probably a good thing, cause it forced me to relearn some basic BASH "while" loops. [17:01] hi [17:01] rhsanborn-> are they working now using the gui? maybe its just a matter of copying your interfaces file [17:01] amenado-- ok, i managed to copy that libflashplayer.so into the plugin directories. [17:01] i re-loaded 7.04 gusty and I have no sound [17:01] I think it has something to do with a conflict with my tuner cards [17:01] I have pcHDTV HD-5500 & Dvico FusionHDTV5 Gold [17:01] everything worked before [17:01] exerdigit-> uhuh, and? [17:01] I need help enabling web / apt access with guarddog. [17:01] ok, 1 more question, using php5-gmp for GMP support do I install it with the php5 package or instead of? [17:01] Ubuntu normally doesn't require a password if starting up in single user mode - how can I turn this on? [17:01] amenado, It does indeed work using the gui, I just have to manually reconnect it every time I reboot my laptop. [17:01] Something is up with my screen in Ubuntu so it starts the cli terminals in really bad resolution: http://omploader.org/vZHFw Anyone know why? [17:02] my wireless connection is always switching off with ralink driver (rt61). any help? [17:02] why "quota" shows nothing? [17:02] RoyK_: why? [17:02] rhsanborn-> you have setup via gui now right? take a look at your /etc/network/interfaces file, are the keys specified there now? then must make a copy [17:02] amenado-- and nothing... it still says i have an old version of flash, or have javascript disabled when i try to watch a youtube video.. am i supposed to be using the 64 or 32 bit version of firefox here? [17:02] It says operation not permitted when I try tho remove my /var/chroots/users/username? [17:02] how to see if quota is enabled? [17:02] Oi [17:02] Newbuntu2: yeah they are a little bit out of date becouse the drivers are now included (just checked) with ubuntu [17:02] Newbuntu2: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/gspcav1/gspca.ko [17:03] hi micro-02 [17:03] Newbuntu2: no need to compile them from source [17:03] exerdigit-> look in your about:config to make sure settings are correct [17:03] are the repository mirrors rate limited to 40Kbps for all clients? I can't seem to find a server which I get more than 40K [17:03] ai [17:03] erUSUL: so how do I start them/make them work? [17:03] galera eu preciso coloca o msn aki na maquina [17:03] amenado, it is indeed set there. [17:03] como que eu gassp [17:03] fasso [17:03] ? [17:03] PriceChild: now a question, the files, when downloaded, now have "filenames" like "C:\Foo\Bar\baz.wma" . (see http://pastebin.ca/924713). Is there a regexp I can use to strip all but what's after the \ ? [17:03] i re-loaded 7.04 gusty and I have no sound [17:03] I think it has something to do with a conflict with my tuner cards [17:03] I have pcHDTV HD-5500 & Dvico FusionHDTV5 Gold [17:03] everything worked before [17:03] gnychis: not likely--could be your isp [17:03] exerdigit-> i dont know what cpu you have, if your kernel is 32 bit, then use 32bit [17:03] gnychis: No, they should have no limit... [17:03] amenado, Perhaps I will reboot and see if that file is getting changed at some point [17:03] QWEWE [17:03] !br | micro-02 [17:03] micro-02: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [17:04] micro-02: portuguese? [17:04] rhsanborn-> why not copy first before rebooting? [17:04] Anyone know guarddog? I need help enabling http and apt access. :( [17:04] storm-ze1: seems you would want firestarter for gnome ;] [17:04] rhsanborn-> that way its as easy as cp over to nonworking one [17:04] amenado-- i downloaded the 64bit of ubuntu since i have the core2 duo... so it should be 64 bit that i installed. [17:04] Newbuntu2: start loading them if not loaded already 'sudo modprobe gspca' [17:05] bazhang: Firestarter kept disappearing... And I was having trouble getting samba to work with it. [17:05] amenado, eck, was hoping for an elegant, non-interactive solution :P [17:05] amenado-- aside from this, i was trying to follow some instructions using nswrapper or something, and i messed up my installer... i cant upgrade anything using the package manger thing [17:05] exerdigit-> you installed it, so you will know what you installed, try it, am not sure if the 64bit firefox is working fully yet though [17:05] Newbuntu2: then install cheese or something like that to test the webcam (i do not have a webcam so...) [17:05] can i carry my laptop around while suspended or should i hibernate? [17:06] nettow_, did you check under system, preferences, sound to see what device it is using? [17:06] When I try access a Samba share on another computer I get the error "The folder contents could not be displayed". [17:06] thinkpaduser: I recommend suspend...but it's up to you. It depends on battery and personal preferences (also time to use again is a factor). [17:06] rhsanborn-> a few click should not be overly burdensome noh? :P [17:06] win: try "quota" in terminal [17:07] thinkpaduser, moving it around while suspended should be just fine, it uses very little power and doesn't do any roaming or anything. I prefer to hibernate for security purposes (dump my memory) but that is a little banal. [17:07] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu and on starting my computer, I get an error msg "NTLDR is missing", I was able to boot using the boot from HD from the Ubuntu CD [17:07] amenado-- i installed 32bit firefox on the side, and installed flash from there, and it all worked great! but once i restarted firefox, it doesnt work at all. [17:07] jcg42, you might can try 'read only = no' in the server's Share section or check the directory mask? [17:07] where are the xscreensavers directory? [17:07] in ubuntu [17:07] erUSUL: it still just shows it as a new ehci_hcd device and doesn't start up any video dirver though... [17:07] thinkpaduser-> but be aware some of these suspend mode or hibernate does not fully get you back to a full operation when awakened, so many here complains about missing this or that [17:08] fco: I just had to find that, just a second. [17:08] exerdigit-> are you sure you are running the 32bit version? [17:08] can I fix my problem installing grub? [17:08] ffm, it is quite magical... Now I'm gonna see about getting all the codecs and video stuff into firefox and see if it plays videos too :-p This is exciting :-) [17:08] Newbuntu2: do you get a /dev/video0 or something like that device?? [17:08] thirdy, yes I think so [17:08] amenado, It's certainly easier than reentering my key and reseting my connection every time, but something along the lines of the Mac/Winblows, automatic solution would be even nicer. If that's the case, I'll just through a boot script in to handle it, but was hoping for an intelligent app that could sense where I was and connect to a predefined set of AP [17:08] thirdy problem with whom? [17:09] You are probably looking for this: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/ [17:09] erUSUL: I already have /dev/video0 & 1 (I have a dual tuner PVR card). but I don't get a video2 or anything... [17:09] amenado, i get the error msg "NTLDR is missing" on system start [17:09] thinkpaduser, amenado, indeed, my laptop for example will not recover from hibernate atm. [17:09] hendrixski: you probably want to "sudo aptitude install flashplayer" (aptitude is a better form of apt-get, and "sudo" runs the command as the super user) [17:09] rhsanborn-> judicious use of interfaces options may suffice, man interfaces for options [17:09] amenado-- in my internet menu. i have FireFox Web Browser, and FireFox32 Web Browser... firefox32 worked with flash once i installed it through there, but now neither of them do anything with flash at all. [17:09] [Q] Bit confused, need to make apt-get upgrade work automated, so if there are any questions it automaticaly says yes [17:10] thirdy-> umm we are not windows support..try #windows [17:10] Newbuntu2: :| dunno then... i can not help you further; sorry [17:10] Fortunately, they've done some fantastic work with making linux kernels boot faster, so standby/hibernate are not quite as necessary as in years past. [17:10] is anyone knowledgeble with nvidia problems with x [17:10] amenado, thanks for your help [17:10] amenado, yeah but I'm using ubuntu [17:11] exerdigit-> i dont know what to tell you, other than launch it via command line, to make sure you are using the correct version [17:11] amenado, thanks for the advice. my Thinkpad has a BIOS password when resuming from suspend or hibernation. i use that for security [17:11] rhsanborn-> you're welcome, good luck [17:11] hello [17:11] thirdy but the NTLDR error is not an ubuntu feature/error [17:11] Hey all, this is what happens when I run glxgears: [17:11] http://dansfah.hopto.org/3D_Issue.png [17:11] amenado, and i haven't had any issues with resuming. it seems exactly where i put it, save dropping the wireless network [17:12] amenado, thirdy, depends on which version of ubuntu you installed, some are not quite as kind to vista partitions. Vista is even more nasty then older versions of windows with the bootloader. Installing the wrong version of ubunutu alongside vista will cause that error [17:12] thinkpaduser-> yeah, somehow it seems the hibernate, suspend is not ready yet..but work is in progress [17:12] I have a folder, but it won't let me open it.

AHHHH [17:42] Jack_Sparrow: setting up FAT client lab today. fun =) [17:42] So I'm trying to boot up Ubuntu for the first time on a Mac Pro. I got to the initial menu, and selected the first option to install or boot Ubuntu. After that, I got to the loading screen with the orange bar. After a short while, the bar duplicated itself several times on the screen. After that probably about 5 screens followed with strange colors and patterns. The last one was white with some pink/red coloring. At this point th [17:42] e CD stopped spinning, so I just held down the power button to turn off. [17:42] What could be the problem? The graphics card in my Mac Pro is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I am using the 32 bit version of Ubuntu. Would the 64 bit make any difference? [17:43] gnome compiz-fusion manager package name? [17:43] subsume, Good luck.. Im leaving for a bit.. [17:43] Jack_Sparrow: righto. see ya [17:43] attempting to build dependencies on PHP5 and get this error: E: Package libsnmp10-dev has no installation candidate [17:43] amenado, found out my problem. It has to do with wpa_supplicant. When the system is booting, and bringing up my network card, it tries to establish connectivity, and issues an ifup command, but at that point, it's unable to start wpa, and that is why I have to mess with the network manager, because I have to force it to reset the network, and restart the connection with wpa. [17:43] beautifulsnow-> umm try the xorg.conf options for ZAxisMapping ? [17:44] <[chr0n0s]> what version of kernel hardy uses [17:44] Is there a "do not let /var/log eat one million gigabytes of disk space" option anywhere?

[17:44] amenado: the left/right/middle/scroll works fine, I want the Volume up/down, Previous/Next, Pause buttons to work, and they have before ^_^; [17:45] can we use ubuntu in schools for free?

[17:46] but can you use it to design cyborg dolphins with lasers to take over the world? [17:46] rhsanborn-> cool you got it figured out..so you have to modify if-pre-up.d scripts?

[17:48] whats the best media player for ubuntu anyone know [17:48] amenado, it's a workaround, but, importantly it's a WORK around :P [17:48] rhsanborn-> thats one thing I dislike about udev, its covers everything, and this was not like this in older linux. so we re-learn new things again [17:48] If I take excess fonts in ~/.fonts and zip them leaving the zip file in the same directory, will reconfiguring the font cache hic-up when looking at the zip file? or will it read the fonts contained in it? [17:48] that you can listne to mp3 files [17:48] efren: there's like 20 of them. The best one is the one you like most. [17:48] rhsanborn-> include sysfs and apci events [17:48] efren20: try xmms... its like a winamp clone === _Linux is now known as CaNeS [17:48] For some reason , nautilus is not opening up ... What alternate file browsers are there? [17:49] never a dull moment with linux constantly re-learning!!! [17:49] Can anyone explain me how to make ALSA work? ... I have a 7.1 soundcard with SPDIF out (coax + optical) ... but I can't seem to output anything but stereo on my front speakers (analogue) [17:49] iratik, thunar is one === solis is now known as hemelskonijn [17:49] iratik:were do i find it please link me [17:49] <[chr0n0s]> lastelement0, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [17:49] how to i download the repositories into my local hard drive so that i can distribute it to my friends through LAN..?? [17:49] iratik, gnome commander [17:49] efren20: to find software for your installation, go to the menu and click Add/Remove [17:49] iratik: thunar like he said. pcmanfm is incredibly fast, also. [17:49] I've read a lot on Alsa ... and I understand some of the more advanced features like sound routing and stuff, but nowhere anything about getting the damn stuff to work [17:49] <[chr0n0s]> vignesh, repos are huge i think [17:49] amenado, not familiar with that specifically. I haven't gotten into boot orders and such much. [17:50] subsume-> what do you mean update /etc/passwd? [17:50] iratik: of course, real men use bash [17:50] There is some mechanism appending the /etc/passwd file in the client machines in my computer lab to reflect new users added to the server. HOW TO find out what mechanism that might be? [17:50] yeah.. but still i have a fast interenet connection @ home, my frenz dont have it... so i need to download them.. [17:50] w00t ... ubuntu runs nice :D ... no need to mod a lot before it runs on my laptop :D [17:50] <[chr0n0s]> asc, bash is default, real men use zsh [17:50] asc: bash is awesome, i'm used to it... but these mp3 files on this mp3 player are all... not very bash friendly [17:50] iratik: Install mplayer - you can run it from the command like [17:50] vignesh, there is a program in synaptic that will allow you to create a repository on a cd, but I've forgotten the name. You'll have problems downloading all the things in the repos. it's thousands of packages. [17:51] chr0n0s: Real men use punch cards [17:51] is this version any better? http://ultimateedition.info/ [17:51] rhsanborn-> newer linux uses udev with sysfs and events as opposed to older devfs and other things like inittab, sysfive init.d [17:51] Scunizi, cant i download them to an external hard disk?? [17:51] no wait, they toggle the switches by hand [17:51] <[chr0n0s]> asc, then real men are extinct according to you theory, which is wrong, hence proved :S [17:51] anyone familiar with getting ALSA to work? [17:51] vignesh, sure you can.. but you want ALL of the packages? [17:51] <[chr0n0s]> vignesh, use apt-on-cd [17:51] <[chr0n0s]> or aptoncd [17:51] candyban_: I thought they took Alsa out of ubuntu. [17:52] Scunizi, no not all.. but how to i find specific repos alone.?? [17:52] <[chr0n0s]> i don't really remember the name [17:52] [chr0n0s], thanks [17:52] K_Nine, huh???? [17:52] subsume-> you want the users (acessing the client host) to access the server ? central authentication? [17:52] irakti:wha twas the name again? [17:52] amenado: I want to centralize the users and was in the process of installing LDAP but now I am discovering the users are being propagated already, somehow. [17:52] i have a problem with grub - when i try to load windows, i get error 13 invalid or unsupported executable format [17:52] K_Nine, then what do they use? OSS? (doubt they would get far) [17:52] anybody can help? [17:53] vignesh, I think what asking is how to find the repos and download what you want directly right? if so you can do that via the command line using apt [17:53] amenado, grub still doesn't start [17:53] real simple xorg question: how can I tell which driver is actually loaded? Xorg.0.log correctly identifies the chipset as Radeon Xpress 1200, but how can I verify that it is actually using the new xorg-video-radeonhd driver? === DuClare is now known as foobarabara [17:53] candyban_: I read there was a problem with alsa. Try Google sound ubuntu. === foobarabara is now known as DuClare [17:53] Gmo: read the Xorg log [17:53] * iratik is reading about zsh and likes what he sees [17:53] I did, that's where I found the chipset [17:53] Gmo: the one that it blabbers about is the one that it loaded [17:53] subsume-> the clients were added to the server side and not on the host clients? but somehow clients can directly log onto client host? [17:54] actually... a guide like this for bash would be great.! [17:54] Gmo: it does not tell you what chipset you have without also loading the driver [17:54] but a search on the grep -i radeon doesn't ever say radeonhd [17:54] hey guys -- I'm having trouble using the rhythmbox last.fm plugin - it says "handshake failed" and isn't submitting my scrobbled tracks to the server. any ideas? [17:54] Scunizi, nope.. im not askin abt downloadin and installin them in mine.. im asking about downloading and givin it to my frenz thru lan.. coz my frenz dont have direct internet access.. [17:54] i have a problem with grub - when i try to load windows, i get error 13 invalid or unsupported executable format [17:54] what should i do? [17:54] thirdy-> what do you get now when you boot? do you get the grub menu? [17:54] I am running feisty and I am quite a noob. Anyway after I choose my linux option from my bootloader, I get a really screwed up screen which almost looks like the monitor loses sync. Then after a min, I assume X or GDM loads and everything is fine. I went into my grub and made sure my vga=normal and thats OK. I believe it's the login screen that gets scrambled and since I auto login, It's OK after it logs in. Any idea how I fix that? [17:54] but it did say the chipset before I added the radeonhd driver [17:54] Anyone here using Textmaker on Gusty able to explain how to get the msttcorefonts to work correctly? They show up but they're too small, it seems the padding/spacing is missing [17:54] Gmo: it mentions the exact driver name - I am willing to bet that you don't know what that is actually called [17:54] i mean... a guide like this "http://zsh.dotsrc.org/Intro/intro_toc.html" but for bash, so i can see what bash is really capable of [17:54] anyone know a good mp3 m3edia player to download to ubuntu gnome? [17:54] vignesh, I understand.. apt will still download without installing them on your machine. You'll then be able to copy the .deb files to the external hd [17:54] amenado, still the same [17:54] adaptr, that is likely. the package is radeonhd, but what driver does that load? [17:55] thirdy-> how did you install grub what commands? [17:55] amenado: computer lab. 30 computers. want people to be able to login to whichever. i suspect the server is updating client machines with new users [17:55] i don't know how [17:55] /usr/share/xserver-xorg/pci/radeonhd.ids [17:55] amenado, root(hd0,2) then setup(hd0) [17:55] Scunizi, oh is that so?? can u plz explain step by step.. coz am a very much newbie.. [17:55] efren20- what kind of music player are you looking for? there are lots [17:55] efren20: Try Rhythmbox. [17:55] amenado, is GfxBoot ok? [17:55] Gmo: this is where you read the Xorg log :) [17:55] flats: you could try removing the "splash" option from the line. You'll get text instead of the shiny loading bar, but it's helped for me with similar problems. [17:55] so I am no further ahead because a grep for radeon does not disclose that string either [17:55] rythmbox dosent sopport mp3 [17:55] thirdy-> i dont konw about GfxBoot..never used it [17:56] efren20: it does, you have to have the right plugins installed [17:56] *from the line in /boot/grub/*lst [17:56] subsume-> maybe you have NIS running? [17:56] efren20: Have you added the mp3 codecs? [17:56] i need one that ould play downloaded songs from a special website and there mp3 files [17:56] vignesh, I'm not great with apt at the command line.. open a terminal and type man apt.. there's more info there. you can also try info apt [17:56] nop [17:56] anyone know where php.ini is? [17:56] [chr0n0s], hey.. apt-cd-on doesnt work.. [17:56] amenado: how would I tell? [17:56] thirdy-> how did you get to issue those commands? from a liveCD ? [17:56] Scunizi, thanks a lot :) [17:56] * Gmo is going to diff the xorg logs with and without that driver installed ... [17:56] vignesh, np.. [17:57] K_Nine: if you click on an mp3, doesn't ubuntu offer to download the codecs for you now? [17:57] efren20: Go to this site https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats [17:57] amenado, I think thirdy used the liveCD to boot the install on his HD [17:57] subsume-> what do you have in /etc/nsswitch.conf ? can you paste in pastebin? [17:57] asc: which line would that be? I'd like to try that [17:57] hello all. im getting the following error message when trying to update using both apt-get and synaptic : Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/ie.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages (2) [17:57] amenado, 1st I tried here but did not work, then I tried at liveCD, still no grub [17:57] amenado: on clients? [17:58] hi all, please which paquage should i use to install an irc server ? [17:58] flats: the 'kernel'. Should end with 'ro quiet splash' by default; just delete 'splash' [17:58] K_Nine, I couldn't find anything indicating Ubuntu has remove alsa ... which would seem strange to me as it's the default sound architecture in 2.6 kernels [17:58] thirdy are you still in the liveCd? look at your device.map same partition where you have ubuntu installed, but directory /boot/grub/ [17:58] so what do i have to download [17:58] would just download itunes do it? [17:58] How do I find out what alsa version I have? [17:58] asc: Unfortunately, i wouldn't even know what that file was or how to get to it? [17:58] efren20: go to terminal and paste this sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:58] subsume-> yes, and server too if possible, just one client, assuming they have all same configs [17:59] rhsanborn, amenado, right now I did sudo apt-get remove grub, then install it again [17:59] flats: /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:59] i am a very much newbie to linux.. i am interested in maths.. i want to develop the existing calculator in ubuntu to perform more complex tasks... where do i get the source code of it.?? [17:59] vignesh, check out man apt-get for info.. man apt doesn't have anything. [17:59] WhatOh Grub [17:59] Oh Grub... OK [17:59] thirdy-> from a liveCD you issued that?

[18:01] rhsanborn, yeah [18:01] what's a good video editor in ubuntu? [18:01] thirdy, did you want to keep WinXp on the system? [18:01] flats: Dunno. I've never included such a line. [18:01] gravemind:can you show me how to download itunes [18:01] vignesh, I think it's gcalctool http://calctool.sourceforge.net/ [18:01] efren20: there's no itunes for ubuntu, but you can use rhythmbox [18:01] loser: all of us [18:01] vignesh man bc, its the binary calculator or bash calculator? man bc [18:01] efren20: people like amarok as well [18:01] hehe np asc [18:01] Scunizi, ya ok ill see.. [18:01] amenado, first I loaded the ubuntu liveCD then I selected boot from HD [18:02] unenough: It doesn't come with the system, but you might want to look into cinerella [18:02] vignesh, you should be able to get the source from thee. [18:02] *there [18:02] hello all. im getting the following error message when trying to update using both apt-get and synaptic : Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/ie.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages (2). any ideas?? [18:02] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m6b60546c [18:02] hm, that's spelled wrong [18:02] thirdy ahh okay, so it booted really from hd with just an assistance from livecd..i got you [18:02] rhsanborn, yeah [18:02] So I'm trying to boot up Ubuntu for the first time on a Mac Pro. I got to the initial menu, and selected the first option to install or boot Ubuntu. After that, I got to the loading screen with the orange bar. After a short while, the bar duplicated itself several times on the screen. After that probably about 5 screens followed with strange colors and patterns. The last one was white with some pink/red coloring. At this point th [18:02] e CD stopped spinning, so I just held down the power button to turn off. [18:02] patrick__: the only thing I can think of is try to fix any broken packages in synaptic [18:02] *cinelerra [18:02] What could be the problem? The graphics card in my Mac Pro is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I am using the 32 bit version of Ubuntu. Would the 64 bit make any difference? [18:02] does ubuntu automatically recognize and reconfigure new pci cards/ [18:02] How do I find out what alsa driver version I have? [18:03] @gravmmind: how would i do that? [18:03] 2 questions, first, is it possible to make a particular flash drive mount to a specific mount point every time it's plugged in, and second, is it possible to install wine apps to an external drive? [18:03] amenado: keep in mind i unknowingly set up ldap on the server and some clients [18:03] thirdy now you look at /boot/grub/device.map whats the contents? make sure it matches what you did for root and setup [18:03] patrick__: it's in one of the menus, but I don't know if it will work [18:03] amenado: i gave you the nsswitch of a client i haven't toucehd [18:03] touched [18:03] gravemind:then how will i sync my ipod [18:03] hi for me sound recorder is not working, saw on the forum this is a common issue; is there a fix known? this is with 7.10 [18:04] !ipod [18:04] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [18:04] amenado, (hd0) /dev/hda [18:04] (hd1) /dev/hdb [18:04] efren20: visit that link [18:04] thsanks] [18:04] patrick__: it's in the "edit" menu of synaptic [18:04] subsume-> my clue is netgroup is nis, so somehow NIS support is on your network [18:04] Is there a suitable alternative to the Napster subscription service (uk)? [18:05] amenado: how might it work? [18:05] Hi everybody! Could someone explain to me, why the fisrt sector of the first patition on the disk is 63 and not the 2nd (1st after the MBR)? [18:05] amenado, brb, I'll check if remove/installing grub will work [18:05] I'm having trouble using the rhythmbox last.fm plugin - it says "handshake failed" and isn't submitting my scrobbled tracks to the server. any ideas? [18:05] gravemind:wich ne better banshee or amerok [18:05] thirdy no, dont remove anything yet [18:06] efren20: amarok, or so I've heard [18:06] mine is an old system amd athlon 700, nvidia riva tnt64, 768MB RAM, 8GB HDD, can I run compiz fusion? [18:06] subsume-> NIS? its a centralized authorization system, i cant describe in few sentences. you may have to google for a tutorial on nis [18:06] ef [18:06] does ubuntu automatically update the kernel for new pci cards? [18:06] efren20: I think Banshee is Gnome and Amarok is KDE. [18:07] amenado, root(hd0,2) then setup(hd0) match this with device.map [18:07] efren20: but you can use either, it's your choice [18:07] ok how would i download that? [18:07] ok, so i have a new burner, yet it refuses to burn a cd. keeps telling me "there was an error writing the disk. please try a lower speed" im trying to burn the xubuntu iso and im allready trying to burn it at 1x. wtfs the problem?can i burn it from command line? [18:07] how do i download banshee [18:07] efren20: They are both in synaptic if you want to use the GUI. [18:08] so i search banshee [18:08] that would probably be a good idea...

[18:28] narothepharoh: that sounds like a problem with your dvd player then -- because if you choose the "dvd" setting, it pretty much ensures it will work [18:28] runemaster: have you tried using the manual?

The last one was white with some pink/red coloring. At this point th [18:28] e CD stopped spinning, so I just held down the power button to turn off. [18:29] What could be the problem? The graphics card in my Mac Pro is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I am using the 32 bit version of Ubuntu. Would the 64 bit make any difference? [18:29] so its vino_server and not vino-server?

[19:19] erawfish_, how do i forbid mounting this unique device? [19:20] !fstab | holicowww [19:20] holicowww: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:20] differentreality: so you're looking to see the groups ability to access a particular folder? Yes, groups have privledges as well. [19:20] bbl people [19:20] thanks [19:20] joh6nn: how would i go aboout fixing this boot problem??? [19:20] Starnestommy: now the error message is 'Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)' [19:20] seems the whole underlying graphicsdriver is wrong on this installation (apart from x obviously) [19:21] What should I use to get .7z files decompressed? [19:21] RiPPeR666: well, we can test it with the liveCD. when the liveCD gets to first menu, if you hit i think F6, it will let you change the kernel options [19:21] erawfish_, ok thanks il try it.. [19:21] i'm just trying to figure out what option you'll need to pass it [19:21] Flannel, actually i'm looking to see all the privileges that a specific group has... For no specific reason... [19:21] anyone have a link to the hardy heron wallpaper? [19:21] phuzion: try fileroller? [19:22] also try google [19:22] woot^^the cd worked...at least for the virtual machine anyways... [19:22] (or even search for 7z in synapic or whatnot) [19:22] erawfish_, where u put package name do i put wine or? the package for the menu? (btw do you know which one it is?) [19:23] Im trying to install ubuntu (AM2 motherboard) and im getting: Kernel Panic: not syncing: IO-APIC+timer doesnt work....Should I give up ? :P [19:23] joh6nn: ok i have tried this before it give you the boot paramiters most people say take out quick splash and a vga-768 i think right [19:23] right [19:23] having some issues with symlinks is this the appropriate channel or can you help me with a better one? Error: Operation not supported [19:23] but i don't think the vga=768 will work for you [19:23] i think you need a different one [19:23] i'm just trying to figure out which one you need [19:23] phuzion - apt-cache pkgnames | grep p7z shows a list of packages that look promising. use apt-cache show pkgname to get more info about packages [19:23] joh6nn: try without any vga [19:24] yea [19:24] nickrud: heh. that's an idea. can't make it any worse, huh? [19:24] seems it's a very common error :B [19:24] munk_: wine then [19:24] RiPPeR666: what nickrud said [19:24] (no usplash) [19:24] munk_: next time you uninstal: purge [19:24] johnC: I use only quiet on that line myself [19:24] Copter: try to disable in apic the bios, i had the same problem [19:25] ok ill try that but the usplash doesnt seem to be the problem [19:25] erawfish_, alright im assuming that deletes the conf files too...right? [19:25] RiPPeR666 - sorry to intrude, but what problem are you having exactly? [19:25] ~~~~ Question: is it okay to reinstall ubuntu over itself without formatting, if I have just done a fresh install? [19:25] * nickrud has a love/hate relationship with tab completion [19:25] RiPPeR666: the only thing you need to use is root=/dev.... all else: remoev it [19:25] differentreality: As far as I know that's just handled by normal permissions. The audio group is the group for the audio devices, etc. [19:25] hello does anyone know a good program that makes usage of a webcam? [19:25] s0u][ight: To test? Ekiga [19:25] beautifulsnow: It will format most likely upon reinstallation unless you tell it not to...you will loose information. Unless you upgrade and it recognizes the installation of Ubuntu. [19:25] RiPPeR666: getting rid of usplash is more so you can see what's going on [19:25] ok will that get me to load x still [19:26] Flannel, whit a capital letter? [19:26] do symlinks have restrictions in 7.10? I get an error when trying to untar some symlinks or trying to symlink with a .so name? [19:26] erawfish_, im sorry to bug u again but i did that and it reinstalled a package "wine" but the entries in the menu are still missing...any ideeas? [19:26] How do I install like irssi to my chroot? the fastest way [19:26] couldnt i just hit ctrl+alt+F1??? [19:26] munk_: which links are missing? [19:26] Flannel, supposing i want to create a new group and give to the group any privilege i want ? how would I do that ? [19:27] RiPPeR666: yes [19:27] s0u][ight: I don't actually know what the binary is. It's in your menus though, Internet > Ekiga (or maybe Cmmunications?) [19:27] hmm.. can't I uninstall usplash without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop? [19:27] differentreality: What do you mean any privledge you want? [19:27] RiPPeR666: is the hardware a notebook? [19:27] david: no. But ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage [19:27] Flannel, fount it [19:27] no PC [19:27] datarimlens, there shouldnt be any restictions on that... [19:27] differentreality: you cannot [19:27] xq: I know, I plan to tell it not to format. What Im asking is if its okay to tell it to install unformated [19:27] when i go to install kubuntu, it tells me it is scanning the disks, but it is stuck at 46% any ideas? [19:27] Flannel: so it doesn't matter? [19:27] differentreality - look at the addgroup command - man addgroup [19:27] erawfish_, well i installed guitar pro and photoshop cs2 and they are not there but normally it puts there any other program... [19:28] RiPPeR666: yes to both, but the ctrl+alt+f1 is less reliable [19:28] david: right. Although, it'll be reinstalled when you upgrade versions, so you'll need to remove usplash again after upgrading to Hardy [19:28] Flannel: plus it gets readded again when I reboot and readd? usplash? [19:28] erawfish_, that i install of course....but because i deleted them manually previously they never appear again.. [19:28] munk_: that's a wine function. recreate the links then. man menu [19:28] Cannot create symlink to `libML.so.3.18.32': Operation not supported [19:28] Flannel: ok [19:28] Flannel, to be able to excecute one command but not the other, to be able to access one folder but not the other... etc etc etc [19:28] datarimlens: do you run tar under sudo? [19:28] beautifulsnow: It may create problems unless it is an upgrade. If you want a fresh install, I recommend formatting the Linux/Ubuntu partition. [19:28] david: remove 'splash' from the kernel command line [19:28] it is under sudo [19:28] datarimlens: and what is the filesystem you untar to? [19:29] good question :) === [gquit]bombadil is now known as bombadil[gquit] [19:29] hgfs [19:29] sladen: I don't want to disable it, but reinstall it [19:29] datarimlens: "mount" [19:29] datarimlens: that has no symlinks [19:29] differentreality: You should read up on unix permissions. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [19:29] itś mounted allright [19:29] or rather - remove [19:29] xq: thing is im only doing it to get the mouse to work (its random, when I intall ubuntu sometimes the mouse works, sometimes it doesn't) [19:29] erawfish_: even if i hit ctrl+alt+F1 when it trys to load x after the splash screen still goes blank; i can still log into terminal though as soon i i hit f1 it asks me to login and i can access everything in terminal [19:29] erawfish_, but if i do that then when i take wine off they are still there and they are linked to nothing...i mean it doesnt do it by itself...:( [19:30] beautifulsnow: laptop? [19:30] RiPPeR666: what videocard and what driver do you use for it? [19:30] Can somebody help me with making a live bootable version of linux for a SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB on Windows? [19:30] david: sudo apt-get --reinstall install usplash but I'm not sure what help that will be [19:30] munk_: wine does. and no reinstalling wine won't bring them back [19:30] hey guys, i'm getting this error when i boot: "There was an error starting The GNOME Settings Daemon" [19:30] does anybody from Canada? [19:30] this happened after a recent update [19:30] sladen: I suppose it's some weirdness with vga/vesa module I have [19:30] lupo: do you have an ubuntu question? [19:30] Havvy: you need to rawrite an image onto the USB stick. "dragging" a file on does not place the magic boot options at the front [19:30] everything looks really off now [19:30] prasanna, have you tried a reboot? [19:31] erawfish_, so what should i do? [19:31] yes, several times [19:31] erawfish_:2 bfg 7800 gts sli via "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" [19:31] munk_: reinstall the apps [19:31] david: okay, so we're getting to the real root of the problem...

Can you help me in a private message? [19:31] erawfish_, but i did and they still dont appear.. [19:32] what should i do? [19:32] prasanna: something about not finding /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon ?

[20:08] jk__: sudo apt-get install gparted [20:09] mjw-: it freezes bootup at "configuring X". i booted w/o the "quiet" option.

[20:19] ex3 [20:20] Erickj92: is it full? [20:20] Erickj92, how many primaries do you havE? [20:20] anyone had any positive experience installing ubuntu on a core duo mac? [20:20] it is one 160 GB hard drive [20:20] and the only hard drive [20:20] danand, i mention this because i've done it with an openbsd box, but, not with linux, linux seems to always instist and needed an IP address, never had that problem with the openbsd software.

[20:36] danand, how do I do that? [20:36] mjw-: i was thinking the same thing. in my xorg.conf it says busid pci is 4:0:0. but this is saying 5:0:0 i think its finding my other card in here and woundering why there r 2 [20:36] it's not in SPM [20:36] I get this error when I try starting irssi in my chroot, I have /etc/passwd and /etc/groups in my chroot to, here is the error code: http://pastebin.ca/924903 [20:36] hi chaps [20:36] !capture [20:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about capture - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:36] RiPPeR666 you have two video cards?

[20:42] W00T! i have starwars on my hdd now!! [20:42] OK [20:42] mjw-, now i know. its Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy [20:42] * danand is jealous of bluefoxx!

Printing success from my ubuntu PC seems intermittent at best. It seems jobs are getting to the cubs server (I can see them on the completed page of the cups webserver) but I don't see them on the 'print jobs' page of the print que inside osx. Is is correct to think that the communication problem lies within the cups server on the mac or is it possib [20:42] le my gutsy box is sending trash requests to the print server? And by trash I mean information being misinterpreted. I've somehow installed two very different print que monitors on my system neither of which I can remove without completely removing gnome-desktop. [20:43] mjw-, is there anyway to upgrade to the latest? [20:43] !upgrade > infoclog [20:44] * bluefoxx starts on getting LotR onto his computer..and prepairs for the long and painful slow speed of shaw high speed light [20:44] danand thanks a million [20:44] Is there any way to get a USB flash memory device back when it's been formatted in ext2 ?

[20:45] wait i'm sorry, not gnome-desktop "ubuntu-desktop". what exactly is the difference? [20:45] any of you noticed Dbus core dump with XEN kernels on Hardy ? [20:45] idefix - have you got cups back up and running? [20:45] yes it works perfectly now [20:45] Hello all, its been a few days since i've installed 7.10. problem is, i just don't seem to be getting any updates even with the universal repos on- for eg. i want the latest firefox 3 updates. [20:45] not showing up though [20:45] idefix - cool :D [20:45] :D [20:45] heartsblood: ubuntu has pretty ubuntu themes and such :) [20:46] 802 songs, 7 days 15 hours 12 minutes 11.7 gigs. 90% electronica music. [20:46] bluefoxx - but by god was it worth it :] [20:46] simplyseth: that's it? Why would 'ubuntu-desktop' be related to cups in any way? [20:46] Is there a way to export the permissions/security data for a directory tree? I want to see what has changed over time in terms of the modes, owners, and groups for a whole directroy tree. I'd also like to be able to store it. [20:46] I get this error when I try starting irssi in my chroot, I have /etc/passwd and /etc/groups in my chroot to, here is the error code: http://pastebin.ca/924903 [20:46] simplyseth: the two seem completely unrelated [20:46] danand: indeed [20:46] heartsblood: so it can be an all emcompassing user friendly experience :) [20:46] off down the pub - night all :) [20:46] what kind of special burn settings do i need to set to make ubuntu cd bootable? [20:46] I guess, essentially, I'd like to version the modes, owners, and groups of files and directories [20:47] kruqnut: if you burn the ISO with any appropriate program, it's bootable automatically [20:47] danand: now to back it up to my SATA drive, and soon enough to DVD [20:47] bluefoxx: It seems like many programs wants to access /dev/video0 path to get picture from the webcam. How can I map my webcam to that path? [20:47] bluefoxx: Or, what path does my webcam have? [20:48] ok so i can just brun image in nero? [20:48] I'd like to use rsync to update a file that is owned by root..ie /etc/init.d/asterisk. How do I do this when Ubuntu doesn't allow direct root login (which I would like to keep)? [20:48] kruqnut yeah, using the burn from image option [20:48] Quick question about "the x server does not support the XRand R extension runtime resolution changes to the display size are not aviaiable" [20:48] Blinkiz: that; i am not sure. it did it automatically for me...try opening /dev/video0 in vlc...it should be /dev/video0 unless you have some other tuner/video in device connected[like a tv card] ask on the forums too [20:48] danand there was another error I had " Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'fonts'.

[21:28] I wouldnt recommend it- I wouldnt do it- id just create a new user account [21:28] Itaku: system->software sources [21:28] GSF1200S: i wouldn't think that would work anyway [21:28] AstorZZZ, I use ext3 [21:28] GSF1200S: i have successfull loged in gui [21:28] Itaku: internet? [21:28] Itaku: i always remove the cd from that list. i hate it asking for it every time. [21:28] some would argue against using it [21:28] GSF1200S: i'm still trying to remember the password [21:28] right there is installable from cd/dvd checkbox [21:29] hello [21:29] Joeb454: arguments against? [21:29] GSF1200S: but now in the edges of the screen there are some white dots and desktop visual effects not working [21:29] Joeb454: know how to change it with sudo? [21:29] AstorZZZ, There is no default partition size .. most use ext3 because of journaling.. whatever that is [21:29] i forget [21:29] ar1s_:thats cool- we havent installed your drivers yet... [21:29] AstorZZZ: ext3 will make your system heathier. it can auto repair itself. the perfomance difference of a non-journaling system is marginal. [21:30] well, if i freed 20gb space from one of my ntfs harddrives [21:30] GSF1200S: aha...:D can you guide me through drivers installation? btw...i have enable the driver in restricted devices [21:30] journaling keeps track of what you are doing. basically if a file or a task doesn't complete fully, it will back itself out so its not half-done. [21:30] how do i partition 20gb harddrive for ubuntu? [21:30] !ext3 | AstorZZZ [21:30] 2gb ram = 2gb swap disk [21:30] AstorZZZ: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [21:30] ar1s_: when did you enable the driver? [21:30] AstorZZZ, other than that i don't know :P [21:30] what else? [21:31] GSF1200S: no wrong i havent enable the driver. [21:31] Joeb454: do you know how to change a user's passwd with sudo? [21:31] usr=9gb home=9gb swap=2gb? [21:31] Joeb454: that is, a different user [21:31] ar1s_: cool, try enabling via the restricted manager [21:31] GSF1200S: ok... [21:31] ar1s_: it will prompt you to reboot [21:32] recommendations on partitioning a 20gb harddrive for ubuntu? [21:32] tanath, try running passwd --help [21:32] I've never done it through a terminal [21:32] ar1s_: why did you uncheck the restricted driver in the first place- was it giving you probs? [21:32] I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and my wifi doesn't work. Ubuntu doesn't recognize my internal wifi card Dell Wireless 1395. Any ideas?

[21:34] whether it's dell or not [21:34] how do I enable s-video to display to the tv? [21:34] tanath: sorry thats all I can do at this point... [21:34] Joeb454, How cqn I find out if it knows?

I have to hitctrl+shift+alt+numlock to turn it off whenever i boot up [21:38] AstorZZZ, you say you have 2GB ram? if so you probably won't need a swap partition [21:38] AstorZZZ, If you only have 20 gig for ubuntu.. use 2 gig swap 8 gig / root and 10 gig /home [21:38] sorry i saw the answer u gave me tanath [21:38] ar1s_: you need video drivers to play UT2K4 :) [21:38] nvm [21:38] GSF1200S: normal install i have the linux edition [21:38] what can i do if i want to remove a package but the remove scripts have somehow been lost?

I got the UID and GID of the new one.... is there a way to make that home folder work.... cuz I can't delete the existing home folder and it won't let me log in because the new account might have the same name but different UID [21:55] beautifulsnow, to see if it is rebooting and not updating that breaks your mouse [21:55] use 7.10 kalamansi [21:56] Kalamansi, 1.70 gutsy gibbon [21:56] beautifulsnow, when you say media button, do you mean the middle button on the mouse?

I figured they all use the same kernels and packages (right?), and I installed the base system only, so I thought I'd come here for help [21:56] Hello! Can you help me with a little problem. I can simply take any window and drag it ot other workspace with my mouse, but only if spesial effects in desktop are ON. Can you suggest, is there a way to drag a window with effects OFF? And also, can I somehow change workspaces just by moving my mouse to the left or right border of the current workspace? Thanks in advance! [21:56] Kalamansi, 7.10 gutsy gibbon sorry :P [21:56] Kalamansi: 6.06 or 7.04 [21:57] beautifulsnow, There are many differences...

(I had MUCH trouble installing Pidgin in Ubuntu; U.Studio comes with it so thats why Im using it) [21:58] Xore, glad to hear you got it going [21:58] beautifulsnow, gutsy comes with pidgin. [21:58] beautifulsnow, oh miles beyond me, I just have a mouse with 3 buttons. But as an idea, have a look in xorg.conf, and also make sure that the module for your mouse has been loaded (you need to know a bit about the kernel). Beyond that it would be a guess [21:58] what is the difference betwen ubuntu desktop/server, xubuntu, kubuntu and edubuntu? im really confused...thanks [21:58] use the site Kalamansi [21:58] Squawk: I have no idea what should be loaded to make it work ;__; but thats my fault I guess [21:58] visit ubuntu [21:59] beautifulsnow, if you must have the latest pidgin, go to getdeb and get it ready to go for gutsy or feisty [21:59] how do I set the default runlevel of ubuntu? I want it to boot up in init 4, rather than 5 [21:59] well kalamansi, just use ubuntu [21:59] Jack_Sparrow: I dont care if it's the latest, I just want to be able to use it ;p [21:59] beautifulsnow, can you tell me what your mouse is? [21:59] server version is for text based console [21:59] Kalamansi: The difference is simply the default packages installed. [21:59] Jack_Sparrow: I also tried installing from getdeb on regular ubuntu, and I was unable to install it (pidgin) [21:59] Kalamansi: once installed, you can switch between them at will [21:59] Squawk: It's a Logitech MediaPlay [22:00] kalamansi, i used kubuntu first, kde based [22:00] Kalamansi: ubuntu desktop: uses gnome desktop manager. ubuntu server: comes with server packages and no GUI desktop. xubuntu: uses the xfce4 desktop manager. kubuntu: uses the KDE desktop manager [22:00] kalamansi, but gnome based is easier [22:00] Hi, While using nessus my system just restarted the x-window and gave the error "natilus can't be used due to unexpected error...

[22:02] Hi, I've just changed the motherboard (to one with nforce 570) on my ubuntu box, but the network card isn't detected on my old installation. It works fine when booting with livecd, tho.

[22:02] Lifeisfunny: yes, and ext3 as well I believe [22:02] Lifeisfunny: It's a good thing :-) [22:02] I see [22:02] are there any tools/scripts which can handle rsdf or ccf files?
