[00:29] mib_uxwl3xgk, what version are you using 7.10 ? [00:29] Skapare: does it give you a suggestion for fixing it?

[00:30] Skapare: so say yes, or run 'apt-get --reinstall install deskbar-applet' [00:30] Jack_Sparrow; should i need to do anything to upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04? or must i go to 7.10 first? [00:30] is there any other way to install a wireless network card with ubuntu 7.10?? [00:30] bastid_raZor, 710 is a must [00:30] Jack_Sparrow; when 8.04 comes out of course.. i have a 2nd box i haven't upgraded yet. [00:30] Jack_Sparrow; well then.. that bites but i see why it is necessary. [00:31] mib_uxwl3xgk, are you on that box at the moment? [00:31] soundray: OK ... I have now downloaded the latest 7.10 ISO, so I may just reinstall the whole thing with that, anyway [00:31] bastid_raZor, they are working hard to be able to go lts to lts 6.06 to 8.04 [00:31] ompaul: yes, so that i could fix it while getting support. [00:31] compiz closes flash windows asoon as i click full screen on youtube is there an easy way to not apply animations to flash videos? or another way to fix this? only happens on compiz not in kwin [00:31] efren20: it's only for windows, and it also requires a tablet PC (ie with touch screen) there is a copy of it for linux, but i can't remember what it is called. [00:31] Jack_Sparrow; awesome, might that be a possibility by the time 8.04 is to be released? [00:31] where do you edit the network settings for eth0 etc. and /sbin/route? [00:32] mib_uxwl3xgk, then I am at a loss - it should *just work* [00:32] bastid_raZor, not from 704 to 804 no [00:32] good: /etc/network/interfaces [00:32] Skapare: okay... next time you have a power failure during upgrade, you'll know what to do :) [00:32] soundray: yeah :) [00:32] ompaul: heh, that is why I am here. I am a pretty tech savvy person but this one is baffling me... [00:32] Fryguy--: thnx. is there a man page for the syntax? [00:32] good: yes [00:32] Jack_Sparrow; okay.. i'll get back to you on the alternate upgrade.. seems i'll be upgrading my 7.04 box sooner than expected [00:32] soundray: that or don't do upgrades during bad weather [00:32] bastid_raZor, Hope that helps..

I've remade my xorg.conf, so probably there are some default values missing. I plugged an extra mouse on my notebook, and it shows up on dmseg, but does not move the cursor. [00:33] I looked for a cdrom group in the user/group list but found none [00:33] Jack_Sparrow; it does. lets me know what i need to do to get my 2nd box to an LTS version. [00:33] is it under another name other then cdrom0?? [00:33] whats the name of the man page for the /etc networking file? [00:33] Can I trust in deb http://repository.akirad.net akirad-gutsy main repository? I want to install cinelerra...

[00:34] ? [00:34] * Skapare goes afk again [00:34] mib_uxwl3xgk, reboot the box and check again [00:34] ali1234, as I said, it's being detected by dmesg, so it *should* work, but for some reason it's not. :P [00:34] Jack_Sparrow; okay, thanks for the info [00:34] scd0 by the looks of it [00:34] np [00:34] mib_uxwl3xgk, perhaps some strange etheral issue but I doubt it - looks like something network is a bit whacky [00:35] I know about ! best, but can anyone suggest a virtual machine software to test Hardy A6 which comes out in 2 days [00:35] RequinB4: virtualbox [00:35] mib_uxwl3xgk, and at that I am calling it a night [00:35] No1CaNTeL: who's the group owner of /dev/scd0 (find out with ls -l /dev/scd0 )? [00:35] ompaul: wait a second... I notice something amiss. they are ALL commented out... [00:35] lunks: is it USB then? [00:35] Fryguy--: Can do, thx [00:35] ali1234, yes, it is [00:35] ali1234, Are you on a notebook and using USB mice? [00:35] ompaul: they each have a line in front of them with "commented out because failed to verify" in front of them... [00:36] the results said \: /dev/cdrom -> scd0 [00:36] ali1234, if you are, could you please share your xorg.conf at pastebin? [00:36] !pastebin ali1234 [00:36] lunks: i had a very old laptop that forced you to choose between ps/2 or touchpad. both were detected but only one would cause events. [00:36] oops [00:36] No1CaNTeL: notice the subtle difference in the new command [00:36] No1CaNTeL: who's the group owner of /dev/scd0 (find out with ls -l /dev/scd0 )? [00:36] so scd0 is the group right? [00:36] No1CaNTeL: no [00:36] ali1234, probably it's a faulty xorg.conf [00:36] mib_uxwl3xgk, that means you installed not connected to the internet - sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list << remove the # >> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade << and then have a nice day [00:37] No1CaNTeL: just tell me what 'ls -l /dev/scd0' gives you [00:37] cheers [00:37] ompaul: note, I was NOT wired into my network when I installed Ubuntu on this machine [00:37] can anyone help me out with ndiswrapper?? im getting an error about a line 181 during the driver install [00:37] owner is root [00:37] mib_uxwl3xgk, and there I leave it with you [00:37] lunks: actually you know i havn't tried using two mice since making a dual-head set up with nvidia-settings so mine might not be default [00:37] No1CaNTeL: and what does it say after root? [00:37] ompaul: sounds fair to me. Thanks for your time!

Could anyone tell me how? [00:39] I can't seem to find the installer [00:39] No1CaNTeL: see, the group cdrom has read and write access to the device. So all you need to do is 'sudo adduser no1 cdrom' [00:39] raiderxx: use pidgin [00:40] ali1234, I'm using a synaptics drive for the touchpad, I'll try switching to auto [00:40] pigin [00:40] That was my next step, except again, I can't get the installer to work [00:40] pidgin [00:40] lunks: that will probably make all the special touchpad stuff stop working [00:40] no need for aol [00:40] No1CaNTeL: from the next login, you will be able to view DVDs without resorting to trickery [00:40] ya, I got the line before, just about to do it, I was just curious about that when you said to add them to the group as I tried but not from console [00:40] It just comes up my terminal for a split second then turns off [00:40] * Pelo mutters and grumbles about a fat32 partition showing on his desktop as a volume [00:40] ali1234, I re-checked and it's not it at all.

[00:41] raiderxx, Do you see a new icon in your upper task bar.. green [00:41] Can anyone tell me, is there a bug in 7.10 that means I have to restart hal before my external USB drive is mounted? [00:41] I do not [00:42] Pelo, That is easy enough to remove.. but it will remove all from the desktop [00:42] I do however have to restart from other upgrades. [00:42] Could that be the problem? [00:42] Pelo, dont mount it in media if you dont want it on the desktop but you do want others on there [00:42] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58443/ [00:42] says I already am a member, guess that is when I swapped to root and used the menus to add no1 to the list :P [00:43] guess something worked ok lol [00:43] This is what comes up [00:43] Failed to fetch http://uu.enarel.eu/dists/feisty/all/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) [00:43] raiderxx, Give it a shot.. then come back.. there may be other issues... [00:43] ok [00:43] hey there [00:43] raid [00:43] fart32 [00:44] simple question, but i can't figure it out: where can i place scripts to run when the xsession starts? === Charitwo is now known as Chari2 [00:44] /etc/gdm/PostLogin doesn't execute anything [00:44] rrplay: Nope [00:45] /etc/X11/Xsession.d also... [00:45] any hints? [00:45] Jack_Sparrow, it's not mounted in media, it's just there because it seems to be regarded as a volume for some odd reason , it's actualy mounted as /home/jean/Partage [00:45] Noya: there's a GUI method. system->preferences->session [00:45] !session | Noya [00:45] Noya: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [00:46] Jack_Sparrow, it also appears in "My Computer" just like the cd-roms [00:46] Can some one help me fix sound. [00:47] !sound | Darkmystere start here [00:47] Darkmystere start here: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[00:47] Jack_Sparrow, So far so good. [00:47] yourm01: Where did you put the net8185.inf file when you downloaded/extracted it? [00:47] Pelo, To Remove Icons from Desktop Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visable [00:48] shouldn't hal just detect the hard drive and mount it? [00:48] Dr3w, I never needed to mess with fstab to mount usb drives, don't know why you have to , usb drives usualy get mounted automaticaly to the desktop [00:48] genii: i have tried desktop and documents [00:48] raiderxx, great [00:48] Jack_Sparrow, please remember who you are talking to [00:48] Pelo: yeah, thats what I would have thought happened. [00:48] Jack_Sparrow, [00:48] Gah! [00:48] how do i install a zip package? [00:48] Failed to fetch http://uu.enarel.eu/dists/feisty/all/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) [00:48] Pelo, Silly me... [00:49] Dr3w, is this a usb flash drive or some odd usb storage device [00:49] Spoke too soon [00:49] Pelo: Western Digital 320Gb My Book ES [00:49] Pelo: New installation of 7.10, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'd too. [00:50] soundray: ali1234: okay, thx, I'll try to get that for all users [00:50] Dr3w, is a mybook es a special device or just a run of the mill usb external hdd ? [00:50] how do i install a zip package is called crayon drawing program.? [00:50] Pelo: The drive mounts on the live CD, but once I umount it, the only way to get it to mount again automaticly is to restart hal. Its a standard USB device. [00:51] another question: where to place scripts that should be run on xstartup (not sessions), like setting my graphics-card to powersave mode (needs an xserver) [00:51] efren20,extract it to the desktp and read the instrucitons inside [00:51] yourm01: Please get this file and download it to your desktop. ftp://66.104.77.130/cn/wlan/Driver_1097_2KXP_0201.rar then sudo apt-get install unrar then cd ~/Desktop then unrar Driver_1097_2KXP_0201.rar [00:51] Dr3w, is this all on the live cd ? that might be the issue [00:52] yourm01: the net8185.inf file will be in a subdirectory there [00:52] Pelo: no, installed to the hard disk. [00:52] Dr3w: if you start places->computer, there should be an icon for it, even when it's not mounted. you'll only see it on the desktop when it is mounted. [00:52] Dr3w, powering when the usb drive is not mounted does it still appear in the "my computer" windows ? [00:52] no [00:53] Dr3w, open a terminal and type blkid see if you see it [00:53] are the ubuntu servers having issues tonight? [00:54] * Pelo is barely paying attention to the channel, he's not uptodate on the goings on of the servers [00:54] when I boot/reboot with the device not attached I get nothing. when I plug in I get nothing. when I restart hal the drive mounts. Its there now /dev/sdb1: LABEL="My Book" UUID="2AAF-B4C7" TYPE="vfat" but I restarted hal to get it there. [00:54] Does anyone know of a helpful way to find the right terminal commands I need to perform random tasks other than constantly googling? [00:55] Is there any possible way to limit the outgoing bandwidth at least on apache2??? [00:55] genii: archive is saying "archive type not supported" [00:55] Dr3w, unmount it, and do blkid again [00:56] mouseboyx, the ppl in #networking or in #apache might know [00:56] i'm getting 6kb/s for the alternate cd [00:56] yourm01: Don't use the window on the download box to open the file, it will not know how to open it. Install the unrar application first and then use that [00:56] Jack_Sparrow, I got this: Failed to fetch http://uu.enarel.eu/dists/feisty/all/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) [00:56] ah, can't at the moment. Saving to it :-/ I can try tomorrow though. I was presuming it was a known bug to be honest! I can make do with restarting HAL until 8.04. If the problem is still there then, I will look into it further. [00:56] mannex, there are several list of linux command on the net that migth be helpfull [00:57] raiderxx, where did you come up with that source [00:57] Dr3w, it's very odd, first time ever I hae heard of it [00:57] I went to update manager, [00:57] word. [00:57] Update to ubuntu 7.1 or somehting like that [00:57] raiderxx, that does not look like a standard feisty repo [00:57] Hello all, can Ubuntu server run in graphic mode? [00:57] And I pushed upgrade [00:57] Dr3w: the my book is a nas server right? maybe it has multiple USB modes... [00:58] if so how , mine is starting to console [00:58] BPositive: if you install a graphical environment on it, yes [00:58] It went on "fetching" stuff for a couple minutes [00:58] raiderxx, can you post your sources.list to a pastebin for me. [00:58] BPositive, as in gnome or just a consol ? [00:58] No, standard USB/eSATA/FW drive. Plugged in via USB. It even works on my PS3 with no issues! [00:58] genii: i downloaded the rar to my desktop but now when i try to open it archive opens and then says unsupported type [00:58] the only thing it asked me to choose to install is the "server" packages (DNS, Samba...) [00:58] Jack_Sparrow, how would I do that? === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [00:59] BPositive, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will get you the full desktop with apps on top of the server [00:59] for the sense that will make [00:59] raiderxx, try this for me apt-get install pastebinit [00:59] sudo of course [00:59] sweet thanks [00:59] Would I paste that into the terminal? [00:59] holy smokes.. getting the .torrent file even lagged [00:59] Is it possible, to ssh and install ubuntu? I am at the machine but I do not have a display for it [00:59] raiderxx, try this for me sudo apt-get install pastebinit yes shift paste into a term [00:59] LjL, I know , but what can you do , I don'T remember the package name to just install gnome [01:00] Jack_Sparrow, It came up with this: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [01:00] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

[01:00] raiderxx, shut down synaptic or whatever other package manager you have open [01:01] Pelo, just saying if you're going to run a desktop, it makes little sense IMHO to use the server edition... but anyway, if one really wants to, ubuntu-desktop will work. "gnome-desktop-environment" may also do it i suppose [01:01] yourm01: Please enter Terminal, then: cd ~/Desktop;sudo apt-get install unrar;unrar x Driver_1097_2KXP_0201.rar; cd Driver_1097_2KXP_0201/WINXP then after this try the ndiswrapper command === cain_23 is now known as cain [01:01] do you defragement the hard disk like in windows?

Any ideas? [01:02] theunixgeek: you're joking, right?

[01:03] raiderxx, no [01:03] theunixgeek, take the opportunity to create a seperate /home if you had not one before [01:03] I will try that thanks, but another question from when I tried to install the desktop downloads:, whether it was a new download or diff server, I downloaded three diff isos, two from same server since thought first was corrupt, though the md5sum and the "verify disk" at cd root both said they're valid, then third was from diff server and they all said file not found "*microcode5.fw" is there a reason and/or fix?

[01:06] Jack_Sparrow, Got this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58446/ [01:07] oh ok [01:07] <[1]flaccid> mmm silly question, but what fstype do i put in fstab to mount a linux partition that is ext2 or ext3? [01:07] BPositive: That file is part of the Broadcom 43xx driver. [01:07] currently if i want to send my screen's output to the tv through s-video, i have to restart X; is there a way to avoid that? [01:08] raiderxx, repos 10,11 and 12 are going to come back and bite you.. I suggest you stick to official repos until you get more comfortable with ubuntu and linux [01:08] mynyml: what video card?

[01:08] nope [01:09] why does flash consume so much cpu [01:09] Can i get help getting virtualbox to work? [01:10] raiderxx, It means that it looks like you used envy or automatix to try and install something which added unofficial sources of software that can cause you future problems [01:10] ok [01:10] nite all [01:10] So I should uninstall and find an official version? [01:10] mynyml: not sure then, sorry. === FrancoGG- is now known as FrancoGG [01:10] If so, how do I uninstall this? === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:11] raiderxx, I do not have a feisty install around to check those sources... If you installed this os and you didnt run a script to try and get video or flash or something going then I could be wrong. [01:12] Jack_Sparrow, I used Envy to try to get nvidia drivers. [01:12] I'm trying to get virtualbox to work, it says i need the modules package, which is already installed, and to run '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv start' as root'. I do so, and it complaines that it can't find module vboxdrv. [01:12] Didnt really know any better.. === |john| is now known as Colonel_Panic [01:13] raiderxx, Ok.. really bad idea... [01:13] So I've heard.. [01:13] !envy | raiderxx, just for future reference, hope you can get this sorted out [01:13] raiderxx, just for future reference, hope you can get this sorted out: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [01:13] So how do I uninstall this OS, and Ill just start from scratch? [01:13] genii: i got the same error [01:13] So install a fresh copy of feisty or gutsy and we will walk you through getting it setup correctly [01:13] RequinB4, IIRC you need to add yourself to a VirtualBox group or something. I'll find you a link - did you do that step? [01:14] hey guys, is there a kind of "paint" app for Ubuntu? [01:14] Shouldnt I uninstall this first? [01:14] How would I go about doing that?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.

[02:54] wtf [02:54] g2: sounds like this ::: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen [02:54] frank23: You could shrink it to 50% and then add a second one, sure. Assuming you have enough primary partitions left [02:55] ok hold up let me check it out [02:55] g2: check that link, it's helped many people with your problem [02:55] Flannel: I don't have anymore primary partition left [02:55] scott__: interesting but wrong channel [02:56] frank23: You already have four? [02:56] What is a "Pages" like user expereince in Ubuntu? Any suggestions? [02:56] yeah... [02:56] Flannel: can I resize partitions? [02:57] frank23: Yes [02:57] Heygabe: as in the Mac 'Pages' app? [02:57] damm my irc client crashes in windows [02:57] so [02:57] !gparted | frank23: you may need the live CD, depending on what you're doing [02:57] frank23: you may need the live CD, depending on what you're doing: 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/ [02:57] what client ? [02:58] Flannel: I could shrink hda1 (/) then grow hda2 (swap) then create another logical partition in hda2 [02:58] say i wanted compiz to start with this command > compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --loose-binding < where would i put that? [02:58] hello [02:58] I have 2 issues one is the autorithy of .Xautorithy and the other the not found drivr can one help me? [02:58] frank23: you already have an extended partition? [02:58] Flannel: hda2 is extended [02:59] I had a similar problem with my nvidia drivers... [02:59] frank23: then you can shrink hda1, and create another primary partition in that space (since you only have one) [02:59] flowOver: you could probably create an menu item and put your command in there, to access it from the menu [02:59] what are the best linux multiplayer games? [02:59] NthJustin I made it work yesterday and somehow it not saved [02:59] Installing the official nvidia one helped.. but then it ended up having a conflict with the built-in restricted ubuntu driver.. so I just moved the ubuntu module out of the way.. [02:59] is there anything like netstumbler for ubuntu....a gui version of kismet [03:00] compiz starts on boot. i want to replace the command that it's starting with, with the one up top [03:00] Sounds like that conflict maybe.. read thru your xorg.0.log to see what module is acutally loading.. the path I mean.. [03:00] NthJustin can you help me? Ive tried it [03:01] I can hardly remember what I did... did you install the nvidia official version? I just ran it from safe-boot mode in the shell. [03:01] anybody know how to get spell check to actually work in Ooo [03:01] safe boot? [03:02] Flannel: no I have 4 primary partitions already (hda1 hda2(which contains hda5) hda3 hda4) [03:02] anything like netstumbler in linux? [03:02] yeah... uh.. recovery mode. in grub, it asks what you want to boot.. or should. [03:02] I have a question about the home folder. [03:02] flaccid: Do you get red squgglies when you have a mispell? [03:02] hello...Is there such thing as admin (superuser) in maiil services like squirrelmail? [03:02] frank23: ah, so you do. Alright, then, you can shrink hda1 and add to hda2, but that is slightly more complicated, should be doable though. [03:03] after doing this wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin_1.400_all.deb how can i install it ? [03:03] Flannel: ok. the UUIDs will change right? [03:03] Odd-rationale, nope. doesn't look like any dict is selected [03:03] !webmin | orudie [03:03] orudie: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [03:03] frank23: No, they shouldnt. [03:03] flaccid: Do you have one installed for your language? [03:03] If I download an application, should I keep in in my home folder and run it from there? [03:03] Flannel: oh ok [03:03] yeah i just did that via the wizard, but no dict is selected still [03:04] scott__: Yes. you can [03:04] But "should" I for security reasons, instead of tying to place it with default applications in the file system? [03:05] scott__: a conventional place for custom-installed stuff is /usr/local [03:05] scott__: Are you talking about a .deb package? [03:05] orudie: I am using webmin too.. what's your concern? [03:06] dpkg -i ./package.deb [03:06] rhineheart_m: just trying to install it, i'm very new to linux [03:06] Ummm... No. Let's say I download a game, if I were running windows I would place it in "C:\Program Files\etc... IS there an equivalent for the LFS? [03:06] now x hangs in black screen [03:06] lovely [03:07] should i follow whatever ubotu said and not use webmin and use ebox instead ? [03:07] OR do I just keep it in my home directory? [03:07] frederick: look thru your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:07] orudie: okay.. have you changed anything? BUT WARNING: Please be careful with your webmin.. that mught mess you system. just be careful with your config files.. [03:07] why do you need webmin for anyway? [03:07] what card is it anyway? does the nvidia driver claim to support it? [03:07] hi, anyone know where do I check the network log, I cant click "Connection information" and when I shutdown I see a warning message.. [03:07] should I re-install the whole linux because of xconfig? [03:07] scott__: if it's not a .deb file, it's a matter of choice where to place it. the conventional place is /usr/local. some people also do it in /opt [03:08] scott__: It is easiest to keep it in your home directory [03:08] orudie: are you accessing it in the local location? [03:08] rhineheart_m: i havent changed anything yet, i didnt even innstall webmin yet, ubotu just told me not to use it cause its buggy and not supported by ubuntu [03:08] no, you can just move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to some backup file and it'll try and recreate it as some basic version, if I recall right.. [03:08] this crap is buget I will re-install all [03:08] so gay [03:08] bblater [03:08] Okay, thanks guys. I wasn't too sure. I'm just trying to keep everything tidy on my machine. :) [03:08] if fail [03:08] Frederick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:08] thanks [03:08] good luck [03:08] Big thanks. [03:09] rhineheart_m: yeah, i did wget url.filename.deb and it successfully downloaded it [03:09] is there a way to force apt to install [03:09] orudie: yeah. I agree with that.. It is not really recommended for newbies.. but in my case.. its really helpful. In fact. m one of its fans. [03:09] scott__: hold on, i'll give you a link if you want to get an idea of how the filesystem works compared to windows [03:09] OKay. [03:09] Thanks. [03:09] rhineheart_m: so would you suggest ebox instead ? [03:09] flaccid: is it safe to install ebox packages on ubuntu 7.10 ? i tryed that guide on 6.06 and it badly damaged my system [03:10] whats ebox ? [03:10] orudie: I won't go for ebox.. [03:10] orudie: honestly..don't like it.. [03:10] !ebox falccid [03:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about ebox falccid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:10] !ebox [03:10] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See the plans for Hardy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EboxSpec [03:10] _!webmin flaccid [03:10] scott__: standard filesystem in linux:: http://linuxcommand.org/lts0040.php [03:10] Awesome. Thanks. [03:11] tnx DG19075 [03:12] well ebox looks like its for hardy. so im not sure how you can regard it safe [03:12] still there are gui tools available in the desktop environments for sysadmin [03:12] yw [03:12] !find ebox [03:12] Found: ebox, ebox-all, ebox-ca, ebox-firewall, ebox-network (and 7 others) [03:12] !info ebox [03:12] ebox (source: ebox): eBox - Base framework.

[03:13] m1r, its already in gutsy, so go for it.... [03:13] mike-e, try looking at /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages and also dmesg [03:13] flaccid , i tryed their cd install so this 1220kb seems strange for me [03:14] why strange? [03:14] flaccid: for whole thing to fit in 1220kb [03:14] thats nearly a megabyte, seems fine to me [03:14] well it is over a megabyte [03:15] flaccid: can u please check : http://ebox-platform.com/ [03:15] what am i checking [03:15] it loads [03:15] _ebox [03:16] it is live cd/install cd , so 1220kb seems rather small for that whole thing [03:16] ok, this might not be possible... but let's say theres a flash video, is there a way for me to download it and then rip the video and audio separately? if not, is there a way to record a certain area of your screen? [03:16] no, livecd is another option. [03:16] which is http://ebox-platform.com/downloads/ebox-live.iso [03:17] ok, tnx flaccid , i give it a try again :) [03:17] just enable universe and install the package, pretty basic [03:17] anybody who have tried hardy? [03:18] rhineheart_m: try #ubuntu+1 [03:18] Anyone know where can I check the network log, I cant click "Connection information" and when I shutdown I see a warning message.. [03:18] what program do people use to play their music like xmms, but not xmms or totem? [03:18] jeffz: amarok [03:19] VLC is good [03:19] VLC = the best [03:19] !players [03:19] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [03:19] ok thanks, I've been using xmms for the last 10 years but thought I'd try something else [03:20] mikev try looking at /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages and also dmesg [03:20] amarok is god :) [03:21] flaccid, except it doesnt sync with my ipod as well as banshee [03:21] i wanna get an ipod working with rsync :/ [03:21] how can I check of ethernet devices using console? or ubuntu server without gui?? [03:22] rnartos: ifconfig? [03:22] ifconfig -a [03:22] rnartos, ifconfig [03:22] "Busybox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5Ubuntu7) Built-in Shell (Ash) Enter Help for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs)" What do I type to install Ubuntu? [03:23] JehstOneShell: that message means that the CD failed to boot correctly [03:23] Ah. [03:23] Lol. [03:23] Figures. [03:23] It worked fine on this PC :S [03:24] JehstOneShell, i've got a bug like that. there are several in !bugs. i am just about to reinstall because there is no way around it. is it saying the mountpoint doesn't exist? [03:24] thanks [03:24] flaccid, I'm just trying to install with a CD I burnt. [03:24] JehstOneShell, whats the error messages before the shell [03:24] can anyone confirms that apache 2.2.4/updated version for ubuntu 7.10 got bug?? [03:24] JehstOneShell, i know that. livecds boot just like any linux.. [03:24] I don't know, I'm a nub. [03:24] the ssl and mime_magic got errors [03:25] JehstOneShell, have a look at the errors before it drops to the busybox shell [03:25] flaccid, thnx but none of them contains anything, the last one you suggest only contains data from startup :( [03:25] JehstOneShell, at start or install hit F6 remove splash and quiet from the command line.. give that a try [03:25] There aren't any errors before hand. [03:25] any other suggestion [03:25] JehstOneShell, thats probably because quiet/splash is on [03:25] hey there, has anybody installed ubuntu onto vmware? is it difficult? and what should i watch out for? thanks [03:26] Too much to take in, peace. [03:26] Strawberryjam: yea just make sure to choose Other 2.6 kernel [03:26] well if its the same reason i have. i have spent hours trying to work it out and there is no fix in launchpad, so its pretty dodgy that it occurs on the livecd too. ubuntu has a lot of bugs. [03:26] Strawberryjam: otherwise it wont install [03:26] check thanks! [03:27] major ubuntu bugs are not good and their are lots [03:27] i'm using my wifes notebook but miss my ubuntu studio too much. [03:28] hey guys, what's the good alternative flash on ubuntu, like the create flash files, make animation etc [03:28] flaccid, There will always be marginal hardware that people try to run under linux.. just a fact.. [03:28] Strawberryjam: you'll have no probs installing just dont choose Ubuntu and choose the Other 2.6 instead [03:28] flaccid: it's likely specific to your hardware configuration. For most users, it's not so buggy. [03:28] thanks tumbl3r! [03:29] np [03:29] wait, you dont need to install ubuntu on vmware [03:29] you just go to vmware apps [03:29] and download 7.10 for vmware [03:30] hey quick question: if i want to go back to ubuntu but still use some things in the ms office suite, is there a viable solution for me? such as running xp on a vm but hopefully less drastic or more... usable? [03:30] and click the icon on your desktop and it boots up [03:30] ah nice [03:30] !enter | darkcrab [03:30] darkcrab: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:30] i installed it and works great [03:30] k [03:30] you CAN install it [03:30] but why? [03:30] :) [03:30] Jack_Sparrow, this is hardware independent bug [03:30] darkcrab: please, I just told you about !enter [03:30] i can choose what i want/don't want installed and make changes to partitions [03:30] oh sorry [03:31] No worries, darkcrab. [03:31] ah, now I see exactly your point tritium. === csink is now known as rockhoppr [03:31] flaccid, No such thing. If you have a question please ask.. If you just want to troll then please /join #Ubuntu-offtopic [03:31] darkcrab: =) [03:32] well yes there is such thing. should i find you the bugs? or just let this stupid conversation rest in peace? [03:32] flaccid: I don't think it is hardware independent in your case. [03:32] avarner: what's in the ms office suite that you need? [03:32] flaccid, drop it.. [03:32] linux is just a kernel, then there is the ubuntu userland. i know how it works. ok i will drop it. [03:33] Jangari: i have a hard-on for oneNote [03:33] Question: I've loaded ubunto succesfully on many computers. durring my latest attempt on a new computer to install ubuntu 7.1 64bit, i boot from cd, i see the splash screen, i select install, i then lose video, after about 2 minutes my system begins beeping in error repeatedly until i restart. my system = AMD Phenom 64bit quad processor, 4gb ram, nvidia 8800gt 512mb video. i have tried boot param acpi=off, this did move me alon [03:33] have a good day, im off to install gentoo or pc-bsd to get some stability [03:33] Jangari: one example of openoffice limitations: you can't save a picture from an openoffice writer document [03:33] jangari: and as much as i hate to admit it i really like the new layout they have in 2k7 plus i just had to buy the suite for class and i feel like i should get my money out of it [03:33] chanel === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [03:34] retro71, at start or install hit F6 and remove splash and quiet from the command line.. be a little patient.. the 8800 seem to take awhile [03:34] I think his name says it all [03:35] Thank you jack. much appriciated. === Charitwo is now known as c === c is now known as Charitwo [03:35] retro71, that is what I would try first [03:35] i'll give it a shot and get back to you. thanks again. [03:35] k [03:37] ok can i install ubuntu onto an external drive to use in VMware? lol My wife is already bitching me about her comp. I have an external USB drive, will that work? [03:37] sure [03:37] what's her argument, Strawberryjam? [03:38] Strawberryjam: Cant you send her to the store for more beer? [03:38] tritium, avarner, fair enough. I'm not entirely happy with open office either and have to run dual boot to get everything i need [03:38] ohhh.... cold [03:38] Strawberryjam: my vote is with Jangari more beer [03:38] Strawberryjam: did you install a unix operating system on your wife's computer? Tumbl3r, that wasn't me [03:39] Jangari: I only use office suites to open docs people send me anyway. I use LaTeX for most of my needs ;) [03:39] the same argument when i d/l a picture, hahahaha you makng it slow, i dunno why i even bought her the damn thing, seems such a waste...its being used for yahoo, yahoo IM, itunes,,,and thats it [03:39] sorry more beer like Y-Town said :P [03:39] how do i re-install my graphics card? [03:40] Strawberryjam: get her a mylo :) [03:40] My wifes has been asking me for almost a week to fix her computer... but she broke it :o) [03:40] * mneptok just got one for the GF [03:40] I cant click "Connection information" (its grayed) and when I shutdown I see a warning message...

[03:41] Strawberryjam: PM? [03:42] cant write cd on ths thing....drive busted [03:42] ok mneptok [03:42] What's the default root password? [03:42] Jangari: do you think i should just grab a virtualmachine and run xp on it to use my office stuff? i'd hate to do it but there aren't any *nix apps i know out there like it [03:42] !root [03:42] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:42] JonZenor, there isnt one [03:42] uhm, I can't su to root [03:42] JonZenor: you have to hack it [03:42] JonZenor, use sudo or gksudo [03:43] !noroot [03:43] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [03:43] JonZenor: read the URL from ubotu above [03:43] I just installed it === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [03:43] JonZenor, use sudo command or gksudo gui-app [03:43] any one know of a good channel for network info specifically switching [03:43] Strawberryjam: I had seen a older laptop on craigslist today for 125.00 wuth ububtu already loaded :o) [03:43] oh that reminds me what was that game that was like a hack simulation or something? [03:44] usser, lol uplink? [03:44] i am in indonesia now. [03:45] avarner: if you like, but dual boot would be best, if a little overkill [03:45] anyone know why my desktop effacts cant be enabled? [03:45] I cant click "Connection information" (its grayed) and when I shutdown I see a warning message... [03:45] deviank: was it that... hm [03:45] NeT_DeMoN_, what video card? [03:45] NeT_DeMoN_: desktop effects wont work if video card isnt correct [03:45] problem with apps like wine and vm, is newer MS programs need sh|t like ".NET" framework, or MS installer, to run anything, [03:45] So I've got problems... [03:45] the video card works [03:46] NeT_DeMoN_, Yes, but you may be running in vesa mode. [03:46] graphics card 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [03:46] for some reason I get no audio from flash [03:46] sudo still asks for a password [03:46] Jack_Sparrow: what does that mean? [03:46] like, no audio from youtube [03:46] i have an entire windows partition for windows live writer, an audio editing program, and that's all. It's still twice the size of my entire ubuntu file system [03:46] but I get audio out of all of my other audio players [03:46] JonZenor, sudo will always ask for your user password.. [03:46] media players [03:46] jangari: yeah its sick isn't it [03:47] hmm still cant play my mp3 collection [03:47] it should, but I can't get in [03:47] NeT_DeMoN_, vesa is a failsafe basic mode.. 1024 max res.. are you running higher than 1024? [03:47] JonZenor: Can you login? [03:47] plz 2 b halping [03:47] as my own user yeah [03:47] Jack_Sparrow: i dont know, how do i tell [03:47] first time I logged in [03:47] hey guys I have no cron.daily or cron.weekly in /etc ? Is that normal? [03:48] JonZenor: So, open a terminal, and `sudo echo "test"`, it should ask you for a pssword, enter the same password you logged in with. does it work? [03:48] NeT_DeMoN_, system..pref..screen res... [03:48] !res [03:48] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

No. A problem? Not that either. You should just be able to make one. [03:48] maybe I'll switch to another distro [03:49] sorry about the caps [03:49] hello all , I am looking for help on networking does anyone have a good channel recommendation? it is not an ubuntu question (except that I am using Ubuntu) [03:49] NeT_DeMoN_, No what [03:49] password worked for sudo, not for su though [03:49] bloo`: oh so /etc/cron.daily doesn't exist on stock ubuntu install? ok cool [03:49] nixbob73: mayeb ##networking [03:49] JonZenor, dont use su [03:49] why? [03:49] Jack_Sparrow: its not higher then 1024 [03:49] thanks Starnestommy [03:49] JonZenor, not needed [03:49] 1280x1024 [03:49] JonZenor: Because su only asks for your root password. Ubuntu doesn't use the root account. [03:49] sorry about my noob-ness but can I turn off the IRC messages when people sign on and off? I [03:49] techqbert, I think it does. Not sure. I'm on debian. But, you should still be able to set cron jobs (look into crontab) [03:49] sorry i lied mp3 playback is working [03:50] I've googled but found nothing. [03:50] rockhoppr: which client do you use? [03:50] ah, okay [03:50] Starnestommy: bitchx right now but sometimes xchat. [03:50] last question (for awhile) how do I install python?

[04:02] raiderxx: could also be a USB disk with scsi emulation [04:03] i forget off hand, but if you do a search online, you can find them, you have to actually install programs on windows that can read ext3. [04:03] it works with my encrypted wireless at home but not with my encrypted wielress at work with static ip [04:03] draco_, well Im trying to install ubuntu, but don't want to erase anyhting from my first drive, I want to install it on my second.

[05:25] Ok I am a bit confused now, I did read about assigning multiple address's to a single nic, but that is not what I am going for, and I don't think the config file is setup for that [05:25] can i send mail througha imap server? [05:25] berlylabs: frustrating. I don't have a 32bit install, makes it hard to look up what you need. Try this: sudo apt-get remove j2re1.4 , then run the update-alternatives again [05:26] crap... my wife caught me. Sorry risngsun I have to go to bed. I am curious how this turns out though.

But I would be willing to give it a shot! [05:27] berlylabs: there might also be a j2re1.4-plugin , dpkg -l 'j2re1.4*' will tell you. remove it if you do. sudo update-alternatives --config java [05:27] iRRRVi - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58456/ [05:27] that does look goofey [05:28] nickrud: so i did the first command, now how do i remove the plugin [05:28] berlylabs: same command, just use the plugin package name instead [05:28] getting file system error [05:28] fsck died with exit status 3 [05:29] * h4shbang is back (gone 01:27:14) [05:29] hi everyone, I just got a weird error can someone look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58454/ [05:29] nickrud then what command after hta'ts gone, what was the update alternatives one again.. sorry [05:29] risngsun: that didnt give me as much info as i hoped >_< [05:29] !pastebin [05:29] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[05:32] berlylabs: and you removed the 1.4 plugin? Very odd. Restart firefox. [05:32] I'm running out of disc space! My boot-partition is ext3, about 5gb, and it is now full.

[05:46] n2diy: right click the stick, on the volume tab, you can select a mount point. Use only one directory name, not a path. That is, if you want it as USB1 , say USB1 not /media/USB1 [05:46] i removed it [05:46] nickrud: i removed it [05:46] berlylabs: so, have you tested it?

[05:48] n2diy: on the dialog window, there's a volume tab at the right end. Look there for a triangle next to mount point (or similar, don't have a usb stick at hand to give you the exact location) [05:49] what the hell is GOK and how do i make it go away forever [05:49] omg omg it works [05:49] berlylabs: 03 is the latest version available from ubuntu.

[05:54] nickrud: gjc [05:54] WorkingOnWise: about 5 minutes ago, after 30 minutes of remote troubleshooting, I learned that sudo apt-get remove gjcwebplugin is the solution :) [05:54] I installed a program in Synaptic (i.e. GmailNotify). It installed some 8 or 9 dependencies (lib*perl* stuff). But when I removed GmailNotify, it didn't remove the depencies!! aagh. What do i do? [05:55] nickrud: it gives error like permission denied, do i need use root [05:55] che: yes sudo [05:55] WorkingOnWise: that is gcjwebplugin, a typo above [05:55] nickrud: can't get it to work. I ran gksudo nautilus, moved up to the /media directory, right clicked, and rename was available, but the new name is refused. Even a simple name like "one". [05:55] n2diy: that's not how it's done. A sec [05:56] nickrud: I used a command in a terminal before to switch between several java plugins, but cant for the life of me find it again.... [05:56] when i start synaptic an error box pops up saying E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg -configure -a' to correct the problem.

[05:57] n2diy: ah. I haven't used dapper in a while, don't remember the routine there [05:57] I've been having severe issues with CPU frequency scaling after resume. I have an EeePC running Ubuntu Gutsy [05:58] WorkingOnWise: I think it's a bug in the alternatives handling [05:58] WorkingOnWise: or, I don't know the rationale for it [05:58] anyone know?

I have an EeePC running Ubuntu Gutsy [06:00] nickrud: I did, and remove and rename appear, but they are both ghosted out. [06:00] haymaker-> what about your windows? which partition is it on? did you put the correct entry in menu.lst? [06:00] how are those eeepc's? [06:00] n2diy: now, do you have a tab labeled volume? [06:00] Maimster-> congrats..enjoy the spinning box [06:00] darkcrab, works well for me [06:01] nickrud: No, no tabs at all, just the ghosted out items. [06:01] amenado: Yeah their are like dozens of cool features though. [06:01] amenado I am not entirely sure, when i set up my grub file for linux, i had to point it to 0,0, so I assumed that sata disk 2 would be 1,0 and windows would be on 2,0 because it is the primary master on the ata controller [06:01] did it come pre-installed with gutsy terror? [06:01] just curious [06:01] n2diy: dang. Then, I'm not sure how to do that in dapper, sorry. [06:01] ...... [06:01] xen-ubuntu-server installed in my system but it is not working? i followed the document then also? [06:01] amenado, maybe i should try 1,0 and 3,0 and see if those work? [06:02] darkcrab, no, I had to install gutsy [06:02] anyone know why i keep getting that error? [06:02] haymaker-> i have read that yeah, with sata they kind of messes you up, on which gets detected first [06:02] darkcrab, it came istalled with a custom Xandros install by Asus [06:02] WOW BIG fucking bug in Ubuntu. Cant even delete and reformat this damn Microsd card. Wtf why wont gparted let me [06:02] haymaker so you may be in for some tweaking.. [06:02] nickrud: Sorry, I'm confusing us. I do have a list of options, I selected properties, but there was no options there for renaming it. [06:03] amenado i'll be back, i'm gonna try those and maybe futz with my bios [06:03] n2diy: across the top of the properties dialog, I was looking for a tab called volume. , along with permission, notes, etc. [06:03] Hi people. I have a question which was unanswered 10 minutes ago. Am reposting it: I installed a program in Synaptic. It installed some 8 or 9 dependencies (lib*perl* stuff). But when I removed the program , Synaptic didn't remove the depencies!! aagh. What do i do? [06:04] bluebanana: if those packages have no further reverse dependencies, sudo apt-get autoremove will get rid of them. [06:04] bluebanana, I remember having the same problem when I installed kde [06:04] nickrud: thanks. [06:04] so nobody knows why im getting the synaptic error? === diana_ is now known as CO_ROMANCE [06:04] I ended up uninstlling a vital KDE package [06:04] how come synaptic won't automaticaally remove un-used dependencies? I don't get it [06:05] what is the dapper equivalent of '/home/srw/' [06:05] which of course removed all packages depending on it [06:05] dallas: um, maybe repeating the question every few minutes so the people that missed the original question will see it? [06:05] nickrud: My taps are Basic, Emblems, Permissions, and Notes. What is frustrating, is before I select properties, I can see rename, ghosted out!? [06:05] jarrettgreen: /home/srw , if that's a user dir [06:05] anyone here running xp in virtualbox in ubuntu? i cant figure out how much space i need for XP + Visual Studio + Adobe CS3 Master Suite [06:06] when i start synaptic an error box pops up saying E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg -configure -a' to correct the problem. I tried typing that in the terminal but it just said something along the lines on here is the help command for dpkg. any ideas how to fix it? [06:06] n2diy: ok, the volume thing I was looking for came in after dapper. You can write a udev rule to name the devices, but that's beyond this channel :) [06:06] how do i remove a wireless network from automatically trying to connect. i think I want to delete the profile. thanks for any help [06:06] dallas: type sudo dpkg --configure -a in the terminal [06:06] nickrud: ok, can you recommend a channel? [06:06] Terror did you install Kubuntu? [06:06] n2diy: #linux might help, or know a better one. #udev would be really nice if it exists :) [06:07] oh nvm [06:07] does anyone know if there is a good "Windows Mobile Device Center" replacement, or if it runs well in wine, or if i can even connect a windows mobile phone to linux. ive hear its possible, but i cant get it to work. [06:07] delete the key from keyring ogre. [06:08] nickrud: #udev has six users! :) [06:08] hahaha [06:08] n2diy: maybe you'll get lucky, and one of them 'the' expert, and he's around and feeling generous [06:08] hi, I liek to connect to my home wireless network from work, ie punching a hole in the firewall or portforwarding ... amybody know ? [06:09] darkcrab: im not using kubuntu. there still a keyring? [06:09] nickrud: I'm fishing there now. [06:09] ubuntu has a keyring manager. [06:09] tomvolek_: you would port forward, yes. Port 22 for ssh, but the actual forwarding would depend on your router, you'll have to find the instructions for it somewhere [06:09] not sure how to do it if your not using a key. [06:10] good evening icesword [06:10] nickrud, hehe,good afternoon [06:10] :) [06:10] how do i remove a wireless network from automatically trying to connect. i think I want to delete the profile. thanks for any help [06:10] nickrud, i like to use the client server terminal to control my home pc from work .. is that doable ? [06:11] ogre-> from the /etc/network/interfaces file, remove auto wlan0 assuming your nic is wlan0 [06:11] nickrud, i guess you are in the first time zone? [06:11] tomvolek_: yes, but I don't use the terminal server myself. Not sure what ports you'd forward [06:11] icesword: Los Angeles time zone [06:11] ok, i can figure that out, thanks nickrud, I will look into it .. [06:11] that would stop it from auto connecting period amendo [06:11] nickrud, ohhh,i see [06:11] ogre-> and off course remove the essid define there too [06:11] thats not what he wants [06:12] hi. i have a rather annoying problem. i stuck a new hard disk in my laptop, reinstalled ubuntu, and installed ATI's drivers, however, fglrxinfo stubbornly keeps telling me my openGL provider is MESA, rather than ATI which had been the case on the previous install... anyone? [06:12] nickrud: nobody seems to be concious or alert in #udev, I'll try #bash and/or #perl. [06:12] darkcrab you're a mind reader? hehe [06:12] I read what he said. [06:12] amenado: im just looking to remove my home wireless access point. im playing with aircrack-ng on my network and it keeps on reconnecting [06:12] He just wants to delete the profile [06:13] darkcrab so removing the essid definitions not going to do it? [06:13] just gonna ask if the latest virtual box can run autocad and photoshop with acceptable speed and thus it now support direct3d thanks [06:13] darkcrab btw, auto wlan0 meant only dont activate at boot time [06:13] ogre: there's not a simple way to remove a profile from the gnome network manager, unfortuately. You need to identify which profile it is using gconf-editor /system/networking/wireless/networks , then gconftool --recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/ [06:14] im quite having a hard time choosing a virtual machine for my box [06:14] :) [06:14] iancp: ive heard ubuntu is good ;P [06:14] nickrud: thanks alot :) [06:14] why in my windows i can have 1440x900 60hz and i can`t in ubuntu?! :x it gives me only 50hz :x [06:15] nvidia and drivers install :x [06:15] right amenado, I just meant that he wants the wlan0 to auto at boot time, but the essid definitions is fine. [06:15] can somebody please lead me to the Fedora 8 server and/or channel? [06:15] dolphin_noel: try running nvidia-settings, I hear that has a setting for that [06:15] hi everyone, I just got a weird error can someone look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58454/ [06:16] nickrud, i see los angeles time is 22:14,4th,march,right [06:16] nickrud yes i try and i make one save xorg.conf and replace reboot but don`t work :x [06:16] icesword: yup . About 65 degrees, too :) [06:16] hi [06:16] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=638011 [06:16] dolphin_noel: I don't have an nvidia, so that was just something I remember reading [06:16] nickrud and the most strage is when i use nvidia-settings it gives to me 68hz :x but after reobot xorg.conf nathing :X [06:17] strange :x [06:17] darkcrab: beat you to the punch :) [06:17] nickrud, hehe,you need to go to sleep [06:18] icesword: nah, this beats television, don't have to be at work till 9am. And it takes me 10 minutes to drive [06:18] heh [06:18] ogre : im using ubuntu 7.10 right now, but i want to install autocad for my work [06:19] iancp, try wine then,www.winehq.org [06:19] i heard that virtualbox doesn't use directx or any video acceleration, (that is if im right) [06:19] iancp, check theri database [06:19] their [06:19] i dont want to use wine, [06:19] :) [06:20] iancp: +10 :) [06:20] rum? [06:20] hi. i have a rather annoying problem. i stuck a new hard disk in my laptop, reinstalled ubuntu, and installed ATI's drivers, however, fglrxinfo stubbornly keeps telling me my openGL provider is MESA, rather than ATI which had been the case on the previous install... anyone? [06:20] im planning on using more windows software [06:20] Sinnerman: did you use the ubuntu restricted driver, or the one from ati's site? [06:20] Im using compiz-fusion and everything s good for now. but i cant visualize the virtual cube from the outside I only see it from the inside. I ask my friend google but it doesn't give me accurate answer. does anyone know how to fix it ? [06:20] wine doesn't support more software than i would like it hehehe [06:21] Nereos: #compiz-fusion has the best compiz help (if someones awake) [06:21] nickrud i have to use ATI's own, because the one that ships with ubuntu does not offer 3D acceleration for my graphics card with is a Xpress 1100 also labelled as Xpress 200M. [06:21] im comparing virtualbox and vmware [06:21] http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php [06:21] iancp, it is say not easy to use wine [06:21] which to you guys is better for cad work? [06:21] Sinnerman: I use the Xpress 200, get acceleration from restricted driver in 7.10 . Just don't get suspend [06:21] nickrud: yeah nice thank you :) [06:21] nickrud in my previous install, i used the same sequence of events, install ubuntu, run the downloaded installer from ATI, and that worked fine. this time, fglrxinfo keeps telling me I'm using MESA instead of ATI. [06:22] iancp, vmware,what product you use?vmware workstation or vmware server [06:22] Sinnerman: don't know what to say. When I installed that driver, I used http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [06:22] nickrud it just won't give me 3D acceleration. and i read somewhere that it did not support my chipset. is that an updated restricted driver? [06:22] Sinnerman: 8.37.6 supports the express 200 [06:22] xen-ubuntu-server installed in my system but it is not working? i followed the document then also? [06:22] actually im not using anything right now [06:23] Sinnerman: 200m , I read back. Not sure [06:23] just looking around forums comparing vmare, virtualbox, qemu, kvm, etc === OSUKid7` is now known as OSUKid7 [06:23] iancp, that depends?how many ram you have [06:23] in looking it seems virtualbox and vmware player is better in most instance [06:24] 1 gb only [06:24] iancp: vmware-server works nicely, I've heard good things about virtualbox and plan on trying it. There's a technique for converting vmware images to virtualbox. [06:24] iancp, you know,virtualbox is free,yeah it is good,you can use virtualbox [06:24] some says its slower than vbox? [06:24] iancp: you definitely want more mem. [06:24] nickrud hmm... [06:25] hey guys [06:25] nickrud well, the only other option i've got left would seem for me to go the .deb way. which i'd not bothered with previously because running the installer seemed to work just fine. [06:25] nickrud: yeah youre right :) [06:25] iancp, no,listen to me,i even use vmware to run ubuntu 7.10 in 100m ram [06:25] Sinnerman: more involved, but it integrates better into the system and has easy removal. I detest having stray, unmanaged files in my root [06:25] nickrud i do too, but im not averse to one or two exceptions. [06:25] icesword: really? and it runs smooth? [06:26] Sinnerman: /usr/local, I have a couple compiled things there. But in /lib/modules? eecchh [06:26] hello guys, i'm having a strange behavior in my gnome destktop, now all icons located at Desktop when i double click it opens with gedit, how do i make default behavior of whatever.desktop file back? [06:26] iancp, not really,it only can run,but couldn't called multitask system right then [06:26] i get into these forums and most of them are kind of outdated [06:26] is there any GUI app to do a search & replace in files? [06:26] Can i jump in and ask a question [06:26] iancp, but you have 1g ram,it is enough,i recommend you try virtualbox,though it will use more ram than vmware [06:27] Laughed, shoot [06:27] Laughed: absolutely. No asking, other than the actual question is ever needed [06:27] i saw on one site that can optimize vmware: Open Virtual Machine Tools [06:27] I am a complete newb to linux so I want to say inadvance thanks to any patience you can extend me [06:27] is that any good? [06:27] lol, thanks ice, nick [06:28] you're welcome [06:28] iancp, what you want [06:28] one thing im having second thought about virtualbox is that it seems it doesn't support directx [06:28] Its my first install of ubuntu and it keeps freezing at the select and install software phase [06:28] and direct3d [06:28] DARKGuy, search and replace? as in text? [06:28] iancp, it does?sorry, i am not sure [06:28] Laughed: did you run the disk check on the startup screen? [06:28] yes i did and the md5sum check as well, both okay [06:28] iancp, you know vmware workstation is payware [06:28] oh ok, thanks icesword [06:29] iancp, D3D doesn't but I've been able to play Total Annihilation and Diablo II through it. No D3D though (I dunno if TA is D3D though... maybe it's a reaaaally old version) [06:29] icesword: yup [06:29] AnRkey_, yes, a text inside a bunch of files [06:29] is it different speed-wise to vmware player? [06:29] which i know is free [06:29] Laughed: ctl-alt-f4 (or f8, I never can remember) has a log of what's happening during the install, might give you a clue [06:29] DARKGuy, if you want to automate it you can read up on "sed" [06:29] and vmware server also: is free! [06:30] DARKGuy, if you want to do it one file at a time then use gedit [06:30] iancp, vmware player is only a player,you can only use it to open that virtual system [06:30] Laughed: although I'm not an install expert, I only install once a blue moon [06:30] how bout vmware-server? [06:30] okay i hit CTRLALTF4 [06:30] sorry bout caps [06:30] but the screen is clipped [06:30] DARKGuy, Ctrl + H in gedit [06:30] brb [06:30] AnRkey_, yeah I have been suggested about sed, but I don't want anything commandline, I need something GUI - unless you know how do I access files in Sed through gnome's connect-to-server feature? and thanks for the gedit suggestion but I'm looking for a more automated way, there are hundreds of html files I need to do the replace in. [06:30] Laughed: should be wrap around [06:31] iancp, yeh,it is free also,vmware-server,try it if you are curious what to use [06:31] i'm sorry if asking it here, people in the virtualbox channel doesn't respond hehehe [06:31] DARKGuy: there's also a command "replace" for simple search and replace [06:31] nickrud: found it thanks to the folks in #perl and #linux, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive [06:31] iancp, no,you are welcome,just feel free to ask [06:32] iancp: you might want to ask for more info on #ubuntu-offtopic, I think I see a couple people that use vm's regularly there [06:32] okay, sorry had to get out the remote and push the image up so i could read the text [06:32] oh ok [06:32] iancp, personally, the performance I've gotten in VBox compared to VMWare Player/Server is about a speed increase of 150%, not mentioning the lighter load on the OS (IMHO) [06:32] DARKGuy, I am looking now [06:32] this seems simple now. [06:32] AnRkey_, thanks in advance :) [06:33] prince_jammys, yeah, but does that work with gnome's connect-to-server feature? [06:33] DARKGuy, you mean virtualbox is fast than vmware? [06:33] xen-ubuntu-server installed in my system but it is not working? i followed the document then also? [06:33] faster [06:33] its asking: The default action is to keep your current version.... (thats clipped to the right and doesnt wrap around) [06:33] DARKGuy: i don't know what that feature is [06:33] DARKGuy, I think regexxer might do what you want to do [06:33] but my options are y/i/n/o/d/z [06:33] Im thinking no [06:33] DARKGuy, sudo apt-get install regexxer [06:34] nickrud i think maybe my problem lies in blacklisting the modules. im not entirely sure why wasn't the case previously. but it probably is now. [06:34] Laughed: wow, that's really odd that you're getting that question. The answer would be no [06:34] DARKGuy: actually im leaning towards vbox since its open soure === Erick is now known as Erickj92 [06:34] its just giving me carriage retuns [06:34] icesword, in my experience yes, I use Windows in VBox as secondary OS with seamless windows and I only have 512Mb RAM, and everything is pretty smooth (I had to switch from Ext3 to XFS though, so the load on HD was less and my OS could get responsive - not VBox dependant though, it happened to me in almost any app :p) [06:34] not responding [06:35] i have gnome right now but for some reason when i install KDE my wireless wont work. My wireless network will show up in Kwifi but it wont ever assign me an ip and i think that is my prob but im not sure, any ideas? [06:35] I wouldn't expect it to. That's a question only asked during upgrades, and ubuntu has supressed those as much as possible. I'm stumped. [06:35] why. let me go play around with this. [06:35] AnRkey_, is that GUI? [06:35] im gonna have to start over. thanks though. that log really put things in perspectivve [06:35] DARKGuy, it is [06:35] xen-ubuntu-server installed in my system but it is not working? i followed the document then also? [06:35] duuudes [06:36] DARKGuy, the CLI tool, sed, is awesome and powerful [06:36] DARKGuy, yes,i want to say virtualbox is good,at all,it is free,but you know,you cannot run virtualbox in 256m ram,coz it does a not good enough mem management [06:36] Hello everyone. Does anyone know a program that logs the traffic passing through a network interface? Text based is fine. I remember using NetLimiter on Windows which did the job. [06:36] DARKGuy, expand your horizons, try something new :D [06:37] well, Im registering as I am sure ill need to come back. thanks again you guys, ice, nick [06:37] AnRkey_, what good? [06:37] Laughed: you're welcome for the teensy bit I did ;) [06:37] How can I use "git" from behind a firewall proxy ? [06:37] icesword, what good ? < ? [06:37] AnRkey_, yeah, I've gotten a lot of sed suggestions in the past :D but I don't know how to access the files where they are in console, I've never been able to unless it's been through nautilus, since it's like ftp://user@address:21/ [06:38] AnRkey_, you just told DARKGuy to try some thing good,i am just curious what you said "good" [06:38] icesword, well yeah, it's horrid to use in 256RAM but so is VMWare, or any other kind of virtualization program! they're RAM eaters [06:39] has anyone run any windows cad program through vbox smoothly? [06:39] What can I use for creating a floppy image from a zip file? [06:39] icesword, DARKGuy, expand your horizons, try something new :D [06:39] like autocad, max? [06:40] anyone know? [06:40] DARKGuy, believe it or not,i have 256m ram in total,but you know i use vmware to run ubuntu 7.10 in 100m ram,heeh [06:40] AnRkey: I want to expand my horizons and try something new :) [06:40] icesword, I suggested that he try a tool called sed [06:40] Skarpz, try vista :D [06:40] I'm running Gutsy and trying to get Amarok to output audio to my USB headset. Is there a way to do this? [06:40] icesword, o_O with X and all?? [06:41] AnRkey_, i see,it is a powerful tool,but he need to learn it,before it acts powerfully [06:41] what do you guys think about EDUP brand wireless LAN PCI adapter? [06:41] iancp: very few programs run through vbox smoothly [06:41] icesword, true o,o [06:41] DARKGuy, yes,ubuntu 7.10,gnome,but it cannot be called multi-task system right then [06:41] magnetron: how'bout vmware? [06:42] icesword, hehe I figured XD... but pretty cool to know though :D [06:42] AnRkey: I might try Vista but I'll have it dual booted when I get a new PC [06:42] DigitalNinja: does your usb soundcard work with ALSA's snd-usb-audio? [06:42] iancp: could be smoother [06:42] oh ok [06:42] DigitalNinja: it's a soundcard like any other [06:43] bluebanana: what chip is on it? card brands mean nothing under linux [06:43] magnetron, you said vmware is smoother,what you are refering to,workstation or server [06:43] erawfish_: i see. let me check. [06:43] I tried to install the pptpconfig package but it wont install because I am missing two other libraries which wont install because they are not the right data structure fro my AMD64 [06:43] erawfish_: I got the USB headset working with Gnome applications. However, Amarok is using the OSS driver. If I try to switch it to ALSA it says there's no driver. [06:43] suggestions? [06:43] icesword: i did not say that vmware is smoother. [06:44] magnetron, then what you said? [06:44] Flyerfye: pastebin the full error and apt-cache policy of involved packages [06:44] lol [06:44] DigitalNinja: ALSA has OSS emulation too === icesword is now known as mademelaugh [06:44] icesword: i said vmware could be smoother than vbox [06:44] magnetron: and on what do you base this? do you have vmware's source? [06:44] erawfish_: I'm not able to change the device. [06:45] DigitalNinja: did I say you should? [06:45] magnetron, yes,that is the point,on what case? [06:45] erawfish_: It gives me /dev/dsp or /dev/sound/dsp [06:45] DigitalNinja: yes, standard OSS device [06:45] mademelaugh, http://sed.sourceforge.net/grabbag/tutorials/sed1line.txt [06:45] AnRkey_, k [06:45] erawfish_: I don't know [06:46] AnRkey_, what ?sed?is it hard,i even cannot use vim? [06:46] bluebanana: your question is pretty much OT and unanswerable to boot [06:46] erawfish_: i'm trying to buy one online [06:46] erawfish_: Well, that device doesn't play on my USB headphones [06:46] DigitalNinja: do you have the OSS emulation loaded like I told you? [06:47] erawfish_: Do you have a package name for that? [06:47] mademelaugh, I consider myself and medium to advanced user and i even hate vim (it's fine, nothing wrong with it, don't bash my head in) [06:47] DigitalNinja: there is none. part of the kernel [06:47] hi [06:47] erawfish_: That what is it you want me to do?

[11:50] devron6: same thing. too many solutions, too complicated. easy for me, hard for him... which one is easiest for him via live cd ?

[11:56] friend: me [11:57] anything could happen via Wine? [11:57] for instance? [11:57] bazhang: ended up going for the Dell+Ubuntu, in case you remember ;) [11:57] virus need priveliges,right [11:57] who put this on a DELL LATITUDE [11:57] No..but would fuck up ur wine partition [11:57] bentob0x, only reson i use one is to check any files i am sent that i might send on to windows users [11:57] bentob0x, the worst that can happen on ubuntu is a thief comes in and throws a bucket of water on your box ... [11:57] or a rootkit [11:58] hischild: actually there is a lot of things that can happen [11:58] ygorabreu_br_spa: no f words here ;) [11:58] hehe,backdoors [11:58] There is so much software involved with linux and a lot of holes [11:58] [Tm_T]: hmm sry :S [11:58] LOL I KNOW [11:58] devron6, i meant in terms of viruses [11:59] Linux may be very stable and better preformance on a well built system but if you are not more careful you can make windows look like a bullet proof vest [11:59] Revolution, Faith [12:00] Stephmw: nice call! [12:00] ygorabreu_br_spa: language please [12:00] !antivirus [12:00] antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients.

It is an NTFS volume [12:05] was only copying with 6 mb/s :( [12:05] (the file was written under win32 originally) [12:05] tmoney_: open synaptic package manager, do a search for firefox, install firefox, then do another search for flash, and you should see a plugin for firefox install that and you can now watch you tube videos [12:06] bazhang: what am I looking for? (there's nothing there gdm-related that I can see) [12:06] hello guys, i corrupted my grub loader with qgrubeditor, i want to install grub all over again, i'm in live cd now [12:06] I just go to a site that uses flash and FF prompts me to install it [12:06] hey guys...is there a program like flash mx ot make 2-3 flash animations on ubuntu?

[12:21] anybody able to give me a hint why depmod fails on a clean ubuntu-server install with latest updates? [12:22] bazhang: I see that, and it works fine: for my user it logs it in automatically. What I want is to have that functionality, but still have a password request. [12:22] krept`: what adapter--what chipset do you have; built in or usb dongle [12:22] bazhang: I just don't want to have to enter my username everytime I login ;) [12:22] why would gnutella seem to take forever to connect? [12:22] Is there a reason all these packages are empty? http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-357/pool/ [12:22] it's a pci linksys card [12:23] i have the driver cd not sure if it will work on linux though [12:23] i try to install iscsi-target on this ubuntu-server, has anybody ever been able to do that? it is not able via modules-assistant and trying to install latest iscsi-target via svn fails due to depmod segfault [12:23] krept`, look into ndiswrapper [12:23] Stephmw: so auto login but still prompt for password when?

All my ubuntu boxes are having this problem ... im using ubuntu 7.10 [12:24] bazhang: I've got the fingerprint scanner working... hence the idea [12:24] Stephmw: that seems contradictory ;] [12:24] oh I see ;] [12:25] bazhang: not quite... I want the user to be autoselected, but some security to still apply [12:25] bazhang: having GDM remember the last user would work just as well [12:25] Stephmw, Do you have the scanner actually checking the print or just scanning an image with xsane [12:25] Jack_Sparrow: I have the ThinkFinger pam module running [12:25] Jack_Sparrow: so the actual print [12:25] cdealer: one moment let me take a look [12:26] bazhang, the driver disk only has exe files [12:26] Stephmw, great.. was there any tutorial for it.. and which scanner are you using [12:26] it's not working [12:26] Stephmw: then you should go to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ this site and add that--I think you are ahead of the curve if I read your intentions correctly ;] [12:26] !doesntwork [12:26] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.

This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [12:27] Stephmw, thanks... [12:27] archman: you are booted into the system correct [12:27] i can put a live cd in [12:27] devron6: it's like it stops on grub> [12:28] the device shows up in lspci [12:28] archman: what version of windows are you running [12:28] archman: can you also give me the output of your /etc/grub.conf [12:28] krept`: could you tell me the exact name in lspci?

[12:32] Hi, i've got a minor question, when i install ubuntu on a system using the alternate disk, at a certain moment it displays "Select and install applications", but i can't really select anything, it just installs the whole bunch [12:32] would be gret if i was able to choose [12:32] krept`: it may be that it is identifying your network wireless card as an ethernet card--the eth0avah entry it would seem [12:32] archman: one moment [12:32] devron6: gutsy [12:32] devron6, its happen with all my ubuntu boxes .... only with cups... [12:32] archman: what version of windows are you running [12:32] I sow the txt file [12:32] devron6: xp sp2 [12:33] i see [12:33] netsrot: you have the language support installed for swedish language?

[12:33] cdealer: are you running desktop or server [12:34] bob__, Perhaps the server or minimal install cds would work better for you [12:34] i built the computer myself [12:34] netsrot: what do you use for a package manager? [12:34] and i have the driver cd for the card [12:34] bazhang: synaptic [12:34] I saw them all [12:34] devron6: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58481/ [12:34] netsrot: could you please go into synaptic and search for swedish [12:34] Jack_Sparrow: where can i find those? i only know how to get the live and alternate disks [12:34] but it's windows only [12:34] i can open up the pdf manual [12:34] !minimal [12:34] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [12:35] bazhang: I'm working on it. [12:35] devron6, desktop install ... [12:35] thanks ubot5 [12:35] bazhang: nope [12:35] krept`: well you can try to use ndiswrapper but it would be better to use the native linux (if there any) drivers [12:35] Ein_, please refine your question. [12:35] cdealer: okay one moment ill get back to you let me help archman real fast because i was helping him first it will only be another moment [12:36] devron6, nice work on his grub by the way [12:36] netsrot: then you need to install it--for system wide, open office or whatever you need [12:36] jack: as i told him before he reboots he will have to come back into irc and i will tell him how to boot back into windows [12:36] I mean I saw all partitions in txt file but what should I do next? [12:36] krept`: if you checked the pdf that would be great [12:36] devron6, Yep, saw that, easy to fix from there [12:37] I mean I saw all partitions in txt file but what should I do next? [12:37] bazhang: I want all programs to keep talking english while supporting swedish characters to be typed. [12:37] jack: sorry i am confused then were you being sarcastic when you said nice work with his grub [12:37] devron6: ? [12:37] Ein_, What are you trying to do.. with the partitions. you said you could not see them.. so are you just trying to mount htem [12:37] archman: now for the final step do this [12:38] bazhang: should I install language-pack-sv and language-pack-sv-base? [12:38] yeah i got it open, any specific information you need? [12:38] devron6, No, I was serious.. not sarcastic.. just saying good work..

[12:39] devron6: didn't try; should i? [12:40] yes lets see if you can atleast get into windows then we will work on fixing your grub to get into linux [12:40] jack: thanks man thought you were being sarcastic at first [12:40] my mistake [12:40] devron6, Sarcasm is wasted in text.. :) [12:41] devron6: after when i broke grub i installed some boot loader from hiren's boot cd; will that be a problem? [12:41] devron6: though it disappeared now... [12:41] devron6, I am seldom here at this hour of the am... nice to see others helping [12:41] archman: after I told you what to do to fix grub you installed something of hirens? [12:41] off* [12:41] devron6: now it automatically enters grub === wasta is now known as firman [12:42] okay good [12:42] when you see the count down 2.... 1.... [12:42] devron6: NO, before all that [12:42] press esc [12:42] netsrot: well then you need to go into system preferences keyboard and add swedish as a layout to your kb [12:42] archman: then it should not be a problem [12:42] when you see grub press esc [12:42] and try selecting windows tell me what happends [12:42] devron6: ok, seeya, thanks !

[13:24] i am happy with ubuntu on my laptop and would like to replace my f8 pc with an ubuntu one - does anyone see any problem with me installing ubuntu keeping the /home partition untouched which is ext3 filesystem and then mounting it in ubuntu - there shouldnt be any difference in the filesystems should there but could there be a difference in where ubuntu expects to find conf files [13:24] how do I fix uncontiguous files on a partition?

[13:26] nickthorley, I would expect some issues trying that.. [13:27] bloupotlood: iirc vmware needs to load kernel modules... would you prefer it ran as root? [13:27] oh kk [13:27] im trying Virtualbox [13:27] looks pretty nifty [13:27] jack_sparrow: do you think i would be best letting it create a home partition on the / partition initially and then copy over my required files, maildata, xchat settings etc individually? [13:28] bloupotlood: vmware versions of ubuntu are not the same as straight ubuntu--best to get the real thing for virtual pc ;] [13:28] lol, k [13:28] nickthorley, I would create the default on / then try to point home to your old partition, if that does not work well, point it back and copy over [13:29] well it seems to be working fine on virtualbox, ta guys :) === eth01` is now known as eth01 [13:30] nickthorley, Assume you know this but http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [13:30] any1 know about getting printer sharing to work....the computer with the printer is running windows ( unfortunitley) [13:31] DonkeyKong101: you can set that up using System->Administration->Printing. Windows printers via SAMBA are supported. [13:32] is VMware able to run a normal .iso of ubuntu? [13:32] instead of a VMware version? [13:32] yes bloupotlood [13:32] oh sweet [13:32] jack_sparrow: thanks - did know most of it but some of the commands on ubuntu are new - slightly different on ubuntu. Not that I am questioning you but what would be different from a home in f8 and a home in ubuntu - dont all the pieces of software use standard files and locations [13:33] my network is pretty well setup i think...i can access all files on my windows computer...i added the printer (found it on the network) the problem i have is it only send about 100kb of the file...then nothing...it almost prints..teases me...then just doesnt [13:33] nope, using VMware, normal ubuntu ISO, asking for a username password, wiiiierd [13:33] nickthorley, I would like to think they used all standard locations.. but .. I hate to assume.. [13:35] can anyone tell me how i can format a new laptop with vista to install 7.10? [13:35] nickthorley, Perfect example might be .mozilla/plugins [13:35] this is wierd indeed [13:35] Llewxam, Are you trying to dual boot or just wipe vista off [13:36] wipe it off [13:36] running VMware, normal ubuntu ISO, username password on log on. lol, anyone got an idea? [13:36] bloupotlood, Are you sure you are seeing the ubuntu login screen and not a request from vmware? [13:36] Hmm... I cant connect to domains === lmr_ is now known as lmr[brb] [13:36] Jack yes man, its the login screen [13:36] i can play netgames [13:37] but cant use firefox [13:37] bloupotlood, than as suggested earlier try asking in WIndows [13:37] kk [13:37] just #windows? [13:37] i cant connect to domain addresses, but i can play netgames [13:37] bloupotlood, or vmware or vbox... [13:38] jack_sparrow: yes see your point - prob easier to let it create one and then move in anything i need in after [13:38] Hi Pitel [13:38] bloupotlood: could it be keyboard settings - like wrong country which is messing with the characters and hence you inputting the wrong password? [13:38] k ta im asking there now [13:39] nickthorley, best to have the installer create one as default even if you dont use it, than need it and not have it [13:39] hello thre [13:40] jack_Sparrow: yes think i will do that and then mount the old home and move everything into 1 folder and then set ubuntu to use the new partition with folder as home and then I can copy bits I need over for each prob [13:40] hypn0: other comps can connect to web [13:40] hi [13:40] nickthorley, I just see too many things that might cause you issues like permissions etc. and it would be nice to have a working gui to try and straighten it out [13:41] jack_sparrow: does my last suggestion sound like a plan? [13:42] how secure is a SSH tunnel? [13:42] nickthorley, I would let ubuntu make /home on root... try to use the page I gave you to set your old home as the new home and see if it works.. [13:42] devron6: nothing; should i reinstall? will i then be able to boot into xp? [13:42] ConstyXIV: As secure as anything else you do in SSH. [13:43] nickthorley, you can always create folder on root, wipe old /home and create new home from ubuntu default /homer on root and copyu stuff back [13:43] jack_sparrow: will do - plan to do it this weekend so will let you know - if I do that and an individual prog gives me probs I can always save out the bits I need (such as bookmarks in firefox) and then delete the directory and let it recreate it [13:43] correct [13:44] hey ive just installed ubuntu but im getting the error about missing a font path when starting x (i installed server edition) how can i fix this? [13:44] * Bosan brb hunting cewe dulu ahkkk [13:44] jack_sparrow: thanks - cant believe I am doing it really - been a total redhat/fedora fan for about 10 years and now going ubuntu [13:44] huh... now when i try running livecd i get an endless stream of i/o errors 0.o [13:44] i tried to setup my printer again.....i can see it on my windows network...it just wont print anything....only a couple kbs get sent thru, then nothing? [13:45] Llewxam, the I/O errors and the squashfs errors? [13:45] yep [13:45] if i have /home on separate partition is it better to reinstall ubuntu to 8.04 or rather rely on upgrading from network ? [13:46] those definitely would be it alanhaggai [13:46] Llewxam, I too have the same problem with my other PC when trying to boot with the Live CD. Still have not found a solution to it. [13:46] nickthorley, we are here to help you over the rough spots [13:46] worked last night. i really wanna wipe vista off. >.< [13:47] jack: archman will be on shortly asking how to add xp to his grub menu can you help him out i have to go in a few moments === purity is now known as purity^ [13:47] back cwe lari samua....lolz [13:47] jack_sparrow: do you know any websites that have equivalent commands for people switching - like in fedora you do this and in ubuntu you do this etc [13:47] nickthorley, not really [13:48] i need to setup my squid but am not sure i can do it myself so any can offer help [13:48] devron6, sure will keep an eye out [13:48] jack_sparrow: maybe that is my calling to note everything I struggle with and then write a conversion guide [13:48] jack: thx [13:48] hello, i am having issues witht he nvidia driver, [13:48] hi all. My pc is SOMETIMES failing to boot up into Ubuntu. When it does I turn it off and then back on again and then it almost always boots properly. I turned off splash so I could see when it hangs. The point where it hangs is when it says "Reading files needed to boot". If I restart and then hit enter at grub menu....it will reboot without a hitch. Any ideas? [13:48] nickthorley, Documentation always helps [13:48] when X starts the panel goes into power saving mode [13:48] hi all [13:49] does anybody knows how to set up routes for vpn? [13:50] hello there [13:50] jack_sparrow: one prob I did have last night was flash - i got the do you want to install plugins thing in firefox and I said yes install flash and it did and then said would nee dto restart browser which I did but then it came back and still said I needed to install the same plugin - any ideas [13:51] Dante123, I would suspect problems on that drive.. [13:51] how do i install the fonts needed for xorg? [13:51] nickthorley : , install flash-nonfree with synaptic - worked very well for me [13:51] nickthorley, Install manually, their auto installer has had issues [13:52] jack_sparrow: when you say manually you mean from the adobe site [13:52] nickthorley: : you can install flash with synaptic [13:52] Jack_Sparrow hmmm....any suggestions for determining hd errors or fixing them [13:52] see ergo above [13:52] Dante123, fsck [13:52] brb, need to make nice with the wife [13:52] type that from terminal [13:53] right? [13:53] jack_sparrow: nice - is this a private nice or did you meal rice haha [13:54] should I boot up a live cd then run fsck without having the drive mounted? [13:54] dante123: which partition is it that you have a problem with? [13:54] did you read my original boot problem....might give some background [13:55] nickthorley...the drive in question has windows and ubuntu on it (fairly new drive) [13:55] hmmm. k then how do i wipe off vista now? [13:56] I get a "Reading files needed to boot". If I restart and then hit enter at grub menu....it will reboot without a hitch. Any ideas? [13:56] dante123: not had enough experience with ubuntu to comment on what it could be but I would fsck all filesystems and yes for root you will have to boot from the rescue cd [13:56] I've read that running fsck on mounted partition can cause all kinds of problems [13:57] Dante123, thus boot from a rescue disc and then fsck? [13:57] yes it can do so best off rescue cd then all should be unmounted [13:57] Does anyone knows a good WYSISYG html editor? [13:57] WYSIWYG I mean :) [13:57] Anubis_be : - usi YUI's RTE [13:58] !kompzer | Anubis_be [13:58] Factoid kompzer not found [13:58] !nvu | Anubis_be [13:58] Anubis_be: kompozer is WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project.

[14:05] what i want is to erase vista completely and leave ubuntu [14:05] thought about partition editor and using the format option on the vista partition [14:06] Jack_Sparrow, you there?

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [14:07] Llewxam, if you don't need to keep any partitions on the machine, you can just tell the installer to use the whole of the drive, which will erase Vista and create a new partition just for ubuntu [14:07] dgjones, k i'm gonna try that now. [14:08] Llewxam, it might be an idea to set up a seperate partition for /home though rather than just letting the installer use the whole drive automatically [14:08] can anyone provide a tutorial that deals with recognizing SD cards? googling didnt help much [14:08] How do I display info (home folder location etc.) regarding a user using CLI?

[14:20] cjae, If the gdm theme you added does not have options menu, it is not a simple task to add one in [14:20] erUSUL: yes [14:21] raiderxx: aouch!! with a 8xxx series card you will need the drivers from nvidia.com or use envy (both options dangerous if you do not know what you a are doing) if you want 3d acceleration [14:21] Jack_Sparrow, ok do you have time for one more question ... related? [14:21] sure [14:21] erUSUL, AKA Im screwed? [14:22] Hi. Which is a good video compression software in Ubuntu? [14:22] raiderxx: until next version of ubuntu (in April) or you use the (dangerous) options... [14:22] alanhaggai: avidemux? mencoder? ffmpeg? [14:23] erUSUL, thank you. I will install them. [14:23] raiderxx, No, 8800 works, but needs the nvidia special drivers.. we spent a lot of time yesterday when you didnt say or admit you had used envy. [14:23] Jack_Sparrow, I also changed my background/wallpaper and from when I hit enter to when I get my desktop I still get that godawful brown before it loads my desktop, how may I get rid of this? [14:24] cjae, try to change it under system admin ... login window ... [14:24] Jack_Sparrow, I thought I said I did.. But I formatted the HDD and reinstalled ubuntu. [14:25] raiderxx, I just got back to my desk, so tell me what brought up the suggestion of envy on your pc? [14:26] Jack_Sparrow, well, the first time I installed ubuntu, envy just sort of popped up and I was like, hey! This is how I get my drivers! [14:26] raiderxx, FYI, I fully agree with erUSUL [14:26] Jack_Sparrow, envy was already there [14:27] raiderxx, Envy was part of your ubuntu install..? [14:27] Jack_Sparrow, yes [14:27] Jack_Sparrow, ok I clicked under tab of local under login window and selected black already but it still makes the ugly brown, what else can I change? [14:27] raiderxx, Where did you download the cd? [14:28] Jack_Sparrow, I don't remember offhand, it might be in my history on Vista. [14:28] devron6: still there???? [14:28] raiderxx: What version of Ubuntu did you download? [14:28] archman, He had to leave, but I told him I would help you with adding windows to your grub..ok? [14:28] Pici, how can I tell? [14:28] anyone can talk with me in private about how to install nvidia drivers normally.. i have many questions and i cant tell everything in here [14:29] Jack_Sparrow: all went well, i reinstalled gutsy, grub works flawless, everything is ok [14:29] archman, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:30] archman, Great, he asked me to look after you when you got back [14:30] peace: System>Admin>Restrictred drivers [14:30] peace best to do it in channel for the edification of all ;] [14:30] Jack_Sparrow: thank you both guys, everything's back again, say hi to devron [14:31] raiderxx: lsb_release -a on the command line [14:31] How do I make controls in Ubuntu 7.10 to appear on the left side of the window, like in Mac OS X? [14:31] archman, Glad to hear it.. will let him know.. thanks [14:31] Jack_Sparrow: btw, whats the difference between gksudo and sudo ? [14:31] Pici, I have 7.04 [14:31] raiderxx - installation of the driver from nvidia.com is not _that_ difficult - think you will need the kernel headers for your current kernel though - you may wanna do an sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`. if i remember rightly the install from nvidia uses an install script that must be run as root while X is not running. Sure the README will explain it a lot better than i have though. luck :) [14:31] dBarton, I like cairo-dock for the osx look... [14:31] nvidia restricted drivers are old and with them fatal x error happens many many times... all i want is to install 169drivers from nvidia.com and its a mess with this thing.. [14:31] !gksudo | archman [14:31] archman: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [14:32] archman, gksudo is for gui apps.. it is dangerour to use sudo for gui apps.. see the link that follows [14:32] !gksudo [14:32] Jack_Sparrow: I don't want OS X look, I just want the controls on the left... I'm kinda a Mac user and it's hard to adjust. =) [14:32] raiderxx: If Envy came with your installation you'll have to find out where you got it from because we definitely don't support it. [14:32] Ok. [14:32] uh oh envy [14:32] peace: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' install build-essential too. Then stop X 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' and run the installer from a VT (terminal) [14:32] archman: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [14:32] Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks; another one: is it reliable to edit grub loader pic with qgrubeditor ? [14:33] Pici, then where do you suggest downloading a "clean" version of ubuntu? [14:33] Jack_Sparrow, did you catch that [14:33] Hi, i bought a new Gigabyte P35C-DS3R , it works wonderful but I cant get sound from it :/ [14:33] cjae, I am in the middle of a couple other questions, dont have time to help with your color selections.. [14:33] raiderxx - www.ubuntu.com [14:33] so it's better to always use gksudo? [14:34] archman: gksudo is for graphical apps [14:34] archman, I always use gksudo gedit myself or sudo nano etc [14:34] i did it yesterday..and its a big mess now in my pc erusul [14:34] archman: only for graphical apps [14:34] danand, hmm.. Thought I tried that.. lol. Ok. [14:34] Thank you everyone for your help. [14:34] Jack_Sparrow, got thought maybe was bug, thanks [14:34] ok guys, thanks [14:34] archman: sudo for command line apps is fine [14:35] peace: well nobody says is trivial... did you let the installer configure your xorg.conf? [14:35] great support, guys, you're the BEST ! [14:35] we try [14:35] peace: the last time i did that the instaler left the xorg.conf on my home instead of overwritting /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:35] :-) [14:36] i let it do everything it wanted to do... but after i instaled 169... the linux was not found neither graphical drivers, nor monitor drivers..and after i did it manually..it was resolution 800*600 and no 3d support( no game launches ) [14:36] ;-) [14:36] wow I'm impressed... [14:36] I got all of the compiz effects working with an integrated radeon 200m [14:37] smoothly too... pretty neat. [14:37] now i disabled restricted drivers..and now i want to uninstall all drivers with add/remove..and then to install it freshly? ( i doubt it will be ok.) [14:37] peace: boot into recovery mode and try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [14:37] Aranel, YOu may need to recompile your alsa drivers for that.. please use version 15 not 16 and you may need to remove and reinstall libasound2 [14:37] folks, i forgot to ask is it safe to use qgrubeditor? i want to change picture on loader?

[14:40] *coughs [14:40] *clears throat [14:40] KOMPOZER RULES :) [14:41] Jack_Sparrow: but fwcutter is used for extracting firmware, i want to switch drivers... [14:42] archman, I got that..

[15:00] on a clean ubuntu gutsy install my dual core cpu shows up as a single core under /proc/cpuinfo, while i'm running the SMP kernel .... i have to boot by adding the kernel line acpi=off, is this affecting this? [15:01] amenado, if you're not going to answer my question don't waste my time ok? do you have any insight into gratuitous arp ? [15:01] bod_: I haven't had the need to use any of them. [15:01] Aranel, move on to sudo depmod -a and libsound2 [15:01] Pici, ok trial and error for me ,.,. cheers m8 [15:02] !coc | hwilde_ [15:02] hwilde_: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [15:02] hello everyone [15:02] hwilde: it seems that you're a little bit upset? any problem? [15:02] Jack_sparrow, Ok but why i have this problem? I can't use splash? Last time i installed same version of ubuntu i used it [15:02] Hi, is it possible to print over the internet? If I have a printer on a windows machine that has a static ip may I print with my ubuntu machine to it? Of course I would have to set the windows machine to print share but what do I with my ubuntu machine? [15:02] bazhang, the coc says if you don't know how to answer a question don't suggest random tangents [15:03] hwilde_ - arp resolves ip addresses to mac addresses. ie in order for a machine to communicate with another it will ask "who has 192.168.0.1" and the machine with that address will send back its mac or hardware address ie 192.168.0.1 is at 00:10:e1:dc .... etc. if two machines have the same ip address that will cause problems with arp as both machines will answer with their mac addresses [15:03] gandalf84, No idea... I was just telling you something I know had a good chance of working [15:03] hc [15:03] hwilde_: no need to take it out on amenado [15:03] danand, on boot what initiates arp? does the nic send it or does the network request it? how can it be disabled [15:03] Ok thanx [15:03] on a clean ubuntu gutsy install my dual core cpu shows up as a single core under /proc/cpuinfo, while i'm running the SMP kernel .... i have to boot by adding the kernel line acpi=off, is this affecting this? [15:04] If I visit a pl file on my server it wants to download it, how can I run it instead of downloading? [15:04] bazhang, he is not answering my question but rather suggesting tangents and questioning the validity of me asking the question. get off my case... [15:04] hwilde_, Please adjust your attitude [15:04] hwilde_-> look we all get busy on our lives..if you want quick answer would you like to pay for support? [15:04] hwilde_ - you cannot disable arp - its a required components of TCP/IP networking i believe. [15:04] hello [15:04] hwilde_, the way you want may not be the best way. Perhaps he's trying to give you an alternative that would do the same yet be easier === _an4bi0s_ is now known as an4bi0s [15:04] Hi, is it possible to print over the internet? If I have a printer on a windows machine that has a static ip may I print with my ubuntu machine to it? Of course I would have to set the windows machine to print share but what do I with my ubuntu machine? [15:05] hello i have a problem, when my laptop is docked the nvidia driver insists on using the laptop's panel, even when closed, I would really like to use my panel, [15:05] amenado, I do pay for support from canonical but nobody seems to have any info on gratuitous arp [15:05] hwilde_-> i asked you specifically, that having two identical ip addresses on subnet is a problem [15:05] i am sure there is a way to force it to use the DVI then the local panel [15:05] Pici, whats the difference between a WYSIWYG editor and Development environments ? [15:05] hwilde_-> if you do pay for cannonical support, go bother them then [15:06] heh [15:06] if you have two machines, and they each have eth0 and eth0:1, eth0 IP is unique and eth0:1 is 10.10.10.1, why does the 10.10.10.1 affect the unique IPs on eth0 [15:06] hwilde: I tell you.. this might not be the right place for you.. If you have questions.. just ask.. and don't demand anything right away... REMEMBER THIS: You are not paying anybody here to answer your concerns... [15:06] bod_: wysiwyg = What You See Is What You Get, i.e.: a very graphical editor [15:06] Jack_Sparrow: sudo apt-get install libasound2 --reinstall is it true ?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [15:06] yes [15:06] Pici, graphical, ok ty,.,.cheers ;~) [15:07] hwilde_: how about taking a deep breath [15:07] hwilde_: Perhaps you should direct your question to ##networking before asking in here? :) [15:07] Jack_Sparrow: ok , i reinstalled it. [15:07] and i did depmod thing before it. [15:07] hwilde_: Specifically the networking part of the question, not the Ubuntu portion [15:07] I am ssh'ing to the unique IPs on the eth0 interface, and it sometimes goes to the other machine. from my understanding the eth0:1 should not affect the arp on the eth0 [15:07] Aranel, apt-get will do it, but I usuallu tell people to use synaptic to completely remove it first [15:08] so what this tells me is that Ubuntu is sending out gratuitous arp packets that are confusing the router in the network [15:08] Jack_Sparrow: i tried it but it says it'll remove 1500mb~ (mostly games etc) [15:08] hwilde_ - are you ssh'ing using eth0:1 ? [15:08] so If I can disable the gratuitous arp for the eth0:1 interface then it will work [15:08] Aranel, Remember it mutes everything so go unmute and test [15:08] hwilde_ - are you ssh'ing using eth0:1 ? [15:08] danand, no I am ssh'ing into the unique IP on eth0 primary interface, and sometimes it goes to the other machine [15:08] hwilde: more users are complaining of your conduct here.. So.. if you feel like its a fault.. then say an apology to the public.. OKay? Don't just ignore what they are actually trying to say here... [15:08] Aranel, dont do that [15:08] Jack_Sparrow: how can I unmute it ? [15:09] i didnt. :) i tried reinstall instead. [15:09] Aranel, See if you have sound first [15:09] if disabling fsck make my system boot faster? [15:09] hwilde_ - sorry - are you issuing the ssh using the eth0:1 interface ie connecting to the unique ip on eth0 from the eth0:1 interface? [15:10] Aranel, double click your speaker icon and go through settings [15:10] where am I? [15:10] Jack_Sparrow: ok, i opened Kmix [15:10] BrightEyes`, it only fsck's when there is a problem or every 23 days by default. if it runs every time. there are likel other problems [15:10] danand, I am issuing ssh from the network to the eth0 interface. the eth0 interface on the two machines have unique IPs on the network. the eth0:1 interface is not on the network just local. but when ssh'ing to the eth0 interface unique IP on the network, sometimes it goes to the other machine.. which it shouldn't because it has a unique IP itself. so I think the eth0:1 interfaces are confusing the arp table somehow. === herve_ is now known as Chlodoveccius [15:11] Aranel, Sure, now you tell me you are one of those kde people.. :) [15:11] JuliaJCastaway, you've joined a support channel for Ubuntu Linux [15:11] Jack_Sparrow: ummm.. yes :) [15:11] Jack_Sparrow: how can i make my linux boot faster? === Lukas is now known as luke222 [15:11] BrightEyes`, /etc/init.d [15:12] BrightEyes`, Is it hanging up on fsck every boot? [15:12] Jack_Sparrow: it says smth but no its not checking [15:12] Jack_Sparrow: I did the depmod and apt-get reinstall , and .. ? [15:13] BrightEyes`, I am leaving soon for a Dr appt. someone may have suggestions for you [15:13] how to install packages from cdrom ? (i'd like to add cdrom packages to apt-get sources list) [15:13] hwilde_ - ok, that is a bit strange. the best thing i could suggest is to use a packet sniffing tool like wireshark. that will enable you to see what machines are issuing arp requests and the responses they get. Hopefully that will allow you to diagnose your problem. [15:13] Aranel, You should be there or close... to having sound fixed.. [15:13] how can i open file sh in windows? [15:14] i have a sound issue .... i am using ultimate edition 1.7 ubuntu.. and my laptop speakers do not mute when i plug in my head phones...any ideas? [15:14] Jack_Sparrow: I still cant get sound. [15:14] tockitj-> in the synaptic package manager you can select the setttings -> repositories to add the cdrom [15:14] Robson309, bash filename.sh assuming bash script [15:14] Jack_Sparrow: Do I need a reboot ? [15:14] hai [15:14] yes [15:14] after sucesfully instaled newest drivers! i wrote another line sudo /etx/init.d/gdm start!!! and then it said that it was unable to select my graphic card corectly [15:14] shane_: ultimate edition is not supported here [15:14] ok, i'm rebooting :) [15:14] and then im now on low resolution... and i dont know what to do now.. [15:14] Aranel, sorry, thought you did that already.. lost you for a minute [15:14] ok [15:14] jack_sparrow... [15:15] u are pirates?? [15:15] Hi, everybody === Rhotes is now known as MooN^LigHt [15:15] Rhotes: Nice question.. [15:15] How can I make Tor change the exit node to another one?

[15:16] danand, I did that and the network sends an arp request and the ubuntu machine replies. I would like to have it only reply to arp on the primary eth0 unique IP, and not have it reply that eth0:1 10.10.10.1 even exists. this way the local port would be invisible to the network and I could leave them standard IP. If I change the IPs on one device eth0:1 to 10.10.10.2 it fixes it, but if I do this on all the devices nobody will know what the IP is to con [15:16] nect locally.. [15:16] eric_ramirez, yes [15:16] anyone??? :) [15:16] MooN^LigHt, this is not the place for that kind of help [15:16] any1 know where i might find help for ultimate edition? [15:16] uppss [15:16] soorry [15:16] Hi, i just installed Ubuntu from a Live-CD. Now it refuses to boot === russel is now known as moveax === moveax is now known as moveax2 [15:17] !irc | shane_ [15:17] rhineheart_m, have you ever heard of a record for the maximum ubuntu install ? like if you apt-get install everything [15:17] shane_: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [15:17] VM did it complete the install? [15:17] hwilde_ - just a quick thought - although the interfaces eth0 and eth0:1 have different IP's they will share the same mac address because they are physically the same device. that may be part of your problem. [15:17] thnx.. srry i'm a newb to ubuntu [15:17] amenado, The installation progress window closed. an i rebooted. [15:18] hwilde_ - other than that i'm out of ideas. sorry [15:18] VM, Do you get a prompt or a black screen [15:18] VM-> closed or maybe kind of just went blank because maybe your monitor have one of those energy saving and just blanks out? did you actually say its okay for your machine to reboot? [15:19] My laptop is running Debian Sarge and I don't know how to install Abobe s Flash Player, Can you help me Jack_Sparrow? [15:19] danand, yeah that is definitely it. the network asks for the mac, and I guess ubuntu replies with both interfaces... but I can't figure out why if you ssh to machine1 eth0 you sometimes get to machine2 eth0 when they are on unique IPs... so I thought maybe I could make it not reply to arp on eth0:1 [15:19] eric_ramirez, Nope. see the debian channel [15:19] #debian can help with that eric_ramirez [15:19] In freenode? [15:20] yes [15:20] yes eric_ramirez [15:20] eric_ramirez, /join #debian [15:20] eric_ramirez: but beware ;] [15:20] hwilde_: I think your problem is not your machine.. but your router..(forwarding your request) [15:20] VM i suspect the install did not complete, so you may have to re-install..on next boot you can type ctrl+alt+F1 to see the boot up progress if it did install properly [15:20] How can I make Tor switch to another exit node?

[15:40] alumno10, and then? add the line /media/cdrom0 ? [15:40] amenado, I agree but those 10.10.10.1 IPs are not on any subnet they are just local (atleast that is the intention). The subnet is 10.66.3.X [15:40] karan, have you checked alsamixer? checked ur not muted anywhere,. if all else fails i believe there is a room for alsa probs [15:40] Flow: to do what? identify your video card? lspci [15:40] i'm try to install a package and it asks for "gutsy gibbon" cd .... can synaptic download packages from the web? [15:40] hischild, not sure, im onna go ask in ot [15:41] ok i got a resolution problem and the wireless thing. i got an nvidia card and i need to know how to install drivers for the integrated wireless. [15:41] Bazhang: Ok I got a list waht am I lookin for it's not jsut labled Video card xD [15:41] i couldn't find any of the repositories either. can they be access directly? [15:41] ttotally: sure, go into synaptic and disable the cd as a software source [15:41] bazhang, okay, thnx [15:41] differentreality, nope, you have to put something like: [15:41] baazhang: Ok, found it it's a VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01) [15:41] Flow: likely something with ati nvidia or intel [15:42] hi, is it possible to copy a file numerous times? so that there are multiple copies of the same file? [15:42] hwilde_-> this is an advance ip address manipulation that you may have to use iproute2 tools such as ip I gave you, to take advantage of configuring those advance features [15:42] Morning everyone [15:42] differentreality: deb cdrom:[Edubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 Binary-1 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted [15:42] hiù [15:42] hwilde_-> and not ifconfig..ifconfig is limited.. [15:42] hello* [15:42] amenado, yeah and btw I have this working at multiple other locations, so I agree it is something in the router. but I think if I can disable gratuitous arp on eth0:1 then it would be transparent to the network [15:42] how's eveyone doing [15:42] alumno10, hmmm i see :) is this the exact line i need to use? (supposing i have 7.10 version) ? [15:42] nicely devron6 [15:43] I've a very hold notebook of friend of mine, and I must install it xubuntu [15:43] hischild, there is a #ubuntu-classroom [15:43] yes it is [15:43] the notebook has 64 mb of ram [15:43] Bazhang: it's a VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01) [15:43] bod_, that's the one i was thinking off ... [15:43] bod_, it is still in the muted state eventhough after changed into unmuted state [15:43] and 3.5 gb of hd [15:43] freepeguin does it have a cdrom drive [15:43] do you think that, with an alternate cd of xubuntu, i can run and install it? [15:43] freepenguin: xubuntu may not run too well on that [15:43] once i press ESCAPE key,and lauch alsamixer in terminal [15:44] hwilde_-> yeah, i have to make note of your efforts for my reference [15:44] karan, sorry im not good with sound, perhaps address ur non un-muting prob to the channel [15:44] alumno10, thank you very much :)) [15:44] hi, is it possible to copy a file numerous times? so that there are multiple copies of the same file? [15:44] Bazhang you there? [15:44] i agre with bazhang [15:44] differentreality, u re welcome, your cpu is 32bits right? [15:44] agree* [15:44] devron6: for once we agree ;] [15:44] hischild, might be worth rememberin that name, then tunnelling any major (noob) questions there [15:44] kestir: just use cp multiple times... [15:44] this issue pertering for almost a day [15:44] kestir-> as long as you have the storage resource to keep them [15:44] bod_, yup ... [15:45] bazhang, must i renounce to install gnu/linux on this notebook? [15:45] Flow: aye, just checking something hang on a sec [15:45] bazhang I am sure we will agree on a bunch of things, expect me typing to much LOL [15:45] bod_, btw, you dont happen to know anything about dual core cpu's recognized as single cores right? [15:45] differentreality, if it is 64bit you need to change the line [15:45] LjL: so if i want to make 100 copies of a file i need to 'cp file' 100 times? [15:45] alumno10, that would be correct.. but does it matter? because i need this info for a project i want to impement [15:45] (now it has windows 98) [15:45] *implement [15:45] bazhang: jsut making sure Thank youfor tryign to help too. [15:45] amenado: I do...but is there a way to set a specific number of copies to make? [15:45] kestir: you can certainly script it [15:45] ebox just made me lose the internet connection i had to remove it :( [15:45] freepenguin: no not so severe, perhaps fluxbuntu would suit that machine better though [15:46] kestir: for i in {1...10}; do cp $i; done [15:46] kestir-> its your script that determines how many times you like to repeat it, or how many times you type copy command [15:46] differentreality, sources.list cdrom lines are different in 32 or 64bit since cdroms have different labels [15:46] hischild, i believe i heard something about ubuntu not handling 2 processors, it cant do it, but i think there are progs that fix it,.,. not really sure tbh,.,.but i no theres probs [15:46] kestir-> and hopefully you put it in different directories..not on same directory [15:46] alumno10, oh.. i see.. do you know how i need to change the lines maybe ? [15:47] kestir: can i ask why you want to do that though? it seems like a strange thing to do... perhaps it's a problem that can better be solved another way? [15:47] bod_, ubuntu used to be able to recognize my cpu's without trouble ... it doesn't even see it now ... [15:47] bod_, the advantage is that it's extremely silent ... yet i'm missing that second cpu now :( [15:47] LjL: I want to fill a directory with data, wipe it, fill it, wipe it etc [15:47] bod_, oh wiat ... sorry misspelled [15:47] kestir, do you want to do that as a benchmark of something? [15:47] bod_, 2 cores, not cpu's [15:48] hischild what kernel ? [15:48] LjL: exactly [15:48] rambo3, Linux hc 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [15:48] bonjour , j'ai un problème avec X-chat , il me faut le réseau épiknet et il n'y est pas [15:49] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg try that in a terminal Flow [15:49] differentreality, i actually dont know but google knows, I think since is trivial info [15:49] hischild, should be twice as slow aswell haha,.,. im not to familiar with the prob cause im a peasent and can only afford an 18000 amd processor but the other major hardware prob is 32 bit ubuntu can only handle a max of 2 gig of ram i believe,.,. 64 can have more [15:49] hischild what is your cpu?

I have a problem with running tightvnc under xinetd. If I issue a command as "vncserver :2 " it works ok but if I stop that and try to run it with xinetd the service starts and listens on port 5901 but vncviewer :1 says "CConn: connected to host localhost port 5901; main: End of stream" and exits... any idea why? [16:16] thechef we can only say ubuntu here ;] [16:16] bazhang: Emachines t3302 [16:17] thechef-> i dont know debian but its the iptables/netfilter module is required to make a linux a router [16:17] thechef: they're essentially identical for your purposes [16:17] there is a package that offers extended options for the 'permissions' tab in file properties, anyone know what it is? i've been trying to look for it, but no joy. [16:17] hi ppl [16:17] hi axz [16:17] OS works great once booted. This error only occurs when first booting up (usually in the morning) and it hangs on "Reading files needed for boot" or sumthin like that. Almost always a second reboot fixes it. I've had suggestions from bad power supply to hd to reinstall gnome-setting daemon. [16:17] -Looks at telephone- "Oh, how easy you were." Sudo get Telephone -Cannotaccess rang too far away. D: [16:18] My ubuntu is auto logging off after browsing the inet.. any idea whats going on guys? [16:18] anybody has an idea how to add users in courier-imap without adding them into the system users? [16:18] i installed it yesterday fresh install [16:18] Personally, I think it muyst be some bootup bug that happens from a cold start. [16:18] Hello, somebody knows SFML ? [16:18] dante123: check your ide/sata cable? if not reinstall ubuntu [16:19] Dante123, how to fix that buddy? [16:19] bazhang: Okay. Can you also give a reason? Is there a setup included? I know iptables, but I hate to configure it on such a low level, because I could easily forget something. [16:19] axz-> all sites? or one particular site? maybe you can explain a lil bit more? [16:19] I have a bug on lauching a program using OpenGL [16:19] Sinnerman: its called ubuntu tweak [16:19] where can i find the large xchat icon used for awn? [16:19] well, what the package does for the nautilus is on the permissions tab, it gives you a series of checkboxes instead of dropdown menus, and makes it easier to use. [16:19] not sure axz, got my own unsolvable problems right now tto [16:19] legend2440 ah?! oh let me have a look. thanks. [16:19] amenado, well dunno i installed it yesterday, just back frrom work and going on the inet it auto logs off [16:20] amenado: how to add usrs in courier-imap without adding them into the system users? [16:20] thechef just kidding ;] debian is fine as well and there is a setup for ubuntu-server [16:20] thechef-> if you are familiar with iptables, thats adequate ..you know how to create rules and load it..dont forget the ip_forward settings though [16:20] devron6 how might that be the problem? I mean if it was....woudln't the error happen everytime you try to access hd [16:20] legend2440 uh oh. i think i downloaded that, it wasn't in the repos. hah. [16:20] no wonder i couldnt find it. [16:21] is there an awn channel? [16:21] Once upon the hang and subsequent reboot.....I got the error about gnome settings daemon....someone suggested reinstalling that....but I don't know if the two problems are related. [16:21] dante123: not exactly if it is slightly loose the hard drive simply turning could just move it just enough to cause a small problem and when you reboot it it has a clean connection again, it all depends [16:21] rhineheart_m-> is that a font? courier to me was the modem..sorry i have not used courier-imap yet [16:21] bod_: creatively, #awn [16:21] If anyone can help me, I would be delighted :) >> When I boot up Ubuntu my sound works sometimes, maybe 2 out of 5 times, how can I fix this..? [16:21] bod_: #awn seems to exist [16:21] LjL, cheers ;~) [16:21] dante123: it is def worth a try to reinstall gnome settings but it doubt that is it [16:21] Pici, ^^ [16:21] okay, I will try disconnedting and reconnectin it [16:21] axz all the time? only browsed a web site and it auto logs you off? [16:21] because reading boot files is on an entire diff init level [16:21] Flow: unless you get a new mobo then no on the PCI-e [16:21] axz: Probably X crashed and restarted. [16:21] well i was looking a flash video [16:21] amenado: nope.. m talking about courier-imap [16:22] yes Odd-rationale i think so [16:22] does reinstalling gnome-settings involved lots of risk...? And what is the command for that? [16:22] rhineheart_m-> sorry am not familiar with that one yet. [16:22] amenado: np thanks anyway [16:22] bazhang: So then basicly convert back to the millions of drones and do away with linux and grap abnother cracked version of Windows XP untill Iget a betetr computer? [16:22] dante123: I would not know the exact risk in that case maybe someone else could tell you better then I can when it comes to that app [16:22] amenado, i was watching flash video and after i done watching it i switched to xchat and it auto logsoff === fophillips_ is now known as fophillips [16:23] bazhang: Thanks for the help. I assure you I'll be back if I decied to stay with linux at a future time. Apreciate it alot. [16:23] axz is it frequently doing that or only one time? try again to see if its a pattern [16:23] axz: Maybe it is a problem with your video driver. Do you have a properly setup xorg.conf? (I'm just brainstorming here...) [16:23] Flow- what is the problem you are having? [16:24] Odd-rationale, i did not touch xorg.conf [16:24] legend2440 thanks very much. that did it. by the way, because they are only tweaks - where would i want to look, for example, to enable that 'advanced' permission sheet manually? [16:24] does anyone know the command to reinstall gnome settings daemon [16:24] dante123: I am sure someone here knows exactly how to help you sometimes it just takes a little while :) [16:24] how to handle multiple domains in one shared wan IP? [16:25] does the fact that a warm reboot (or fairly warm as in turn off and turn right back on) fixes the problem give any clue as to the cause? [16:25] okay dante123: so if it freezes and you do a simple reboot it does not fix the problem but if you turn the computer off and turn it back on it fixes it? [16:25] how do I change the "security device" password for epiphany? I forgot it. [16:26] What is usually found in $HOME/.dmrc ? [16:26] this may concern older releases of Ubuntu [16:26] hey guys, im trying to edit the xchat icon that appears in awn, so i did locate xchat | grep png and came up with 3 results, i made backups of the three then replaced the originals with my edited icon, but its really small, ive even made the icon be 1024 x 768 and it doesnt change size, how can i enlarge the new icon? or where is the xchat icon that awn uses? [16:27] bod_: just right click on xchat > properties > click the image and replace with another image [16:28] bonjour [16:28] e-ane: bonjour [16:28] hello [16:28] i installed the ubuntu 7.10 command line only system [16:28] and it didn't include the splash screen, which i kinda like [16:28] z3wb: server edition...

[16:29] this isn't the server edition [16:29] devron6 when i turn it on...pc goes to grub...let it load itself...the pc hangs at "Reading files needed to boot" or a similar message. Then I turn the pc off....turn back on.....click on the first entry for ubuntu in grub and it works everytime. [16:29] komputes, tried, the image is still half the size of the others [16:29] Flow no worries ;] [16:29] dante123: that really sounds like a hardware issue - maybe ram [16:29] z3wb: you need to get all the packages needed for the usplash [16:29] that is very wierd [16:30] bod_: have you tried scaling it with GIMP? [16:30] so i just apt-get install usplash and that's it? [16:30] but only error on booting up. If it was ram wouldnt' i get freezed otehr times?

[19:21] a1fa: There is none. [19:21] why not? [19:22] a1fa: Because Ubuntu does not have a rolling release like Debian does. [19:22] Check your visual effects settings. If all is off, then you don't have it on, if the bullet is set on any other settings, then you are using Compiz. This can greatly reduce OpenGL/Video playback performance.

And still slow then? It could be lot's of things that are beyond my knowledge. But it is the same computer you used to run it on in Windows? Perhaps the drivers for your card are not as good as you expect them to be. If you have nVidia or Ati or Intel cards, driver support generally is quite good these days. [19:34] <^David> and ideas? [19:34] kjnox, ubuntu is best [19:34] hello, after having a fresh install of ubuntu [19:35] i should install firewall by hand ? [19:35] kjnox: Well, no surprise it would look so for a person who is used to Windows. However, if you are persistent, you will understand that you were wrong quite soon. [19:35] iratiku - if you want a gui for firewall config try firestarter (v simple but good enough for most), either that or browse to www.fwbuilder.org, www.shorewall.net for something a bit more complex [19:35] Parsec300 - Sorry, I think you have the wrong person here. Ubuntu is fast as anything, I've just got a fraggy external :-) [19:35] danand: thanks [19:36] i hope so, cuz i think win vista is the worth OS ever made [19:36] kjnox: no offense to slackware users, but for a novice, it would be more difficult then Ubuntu [19:36] HoboBen: Indeed, I mixed it up. [19:36] kjnox - you'll probably find slackware alot less user friendly than ubuntu [19:36] iratiku - np [19:36] Parsec300 no worries. Thanks anyway ;-) [19:36] hello. I dist-upgraded to hardy and now I get "Cannot find your gnome environment. Contact your system administrator" upon login with nomachine/nxclient [19:36] hey, after fresh install of ubuntu - should i install some firewall software on it ? === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [19:37] <^David> yeah i would say so Ergo^ [19:37] `/quit [19:37] rrva: you have troubles my friend! [19:37] kjnox: I own two Apple computers running OSX Leopard and even I am very enthusiastic about Ubuntu Linux! [19:37] just out of curiousity - why isnt there any firewall installed ? [19:37] kjnox: imho, Fedora, SUSE or Mandriva could be alternatives to Ubuntu [19:37] Who was it looking for a fat32/vfat defrag method from linux? A dirty way is to resize slightly the fat32 partition from gparted, when it shuffles the data on there it's the equivelent. [19:38] Ergo^: there is no antivirus as well ;) [19:38] genii: it was HoboBen looking for it. [19:38] nah i already saw ubuntu time ago and ive liked it rly much [19:38] kjnox - there are other distro's out there though that you may prefer - most have a live cd, so you can run that first to see how you find it. try Suse, Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, etc [19:38] but i dunno how to work with it [19:38] Parsec300: Thanks [19:38] genii - wow, top tip! Thanks! [19:38] macrobad: but virues is not an issue i think :-) [19:38] HoboBen: np [19:39] is it so secure by default that there is no need to install fw ? [19:39] <^David> guys after i defragged my windows install ubuntu can't find my video drivers when i boot from cd....... help please [19:39] danad im running under simplyMEPIS rite now [19:39] <^David> i've tried entering them manualy but it just freezes when i reboot it [19:39] COuld someone help with my problem: I can't use my scroller on my bluetooth mouse? [19:39] Does firestarter have an interface for the shell? [19:39] Hello! Anyone install XBMC? I'm having so video playback problems. [19:39] kjnox - if your willing to invest a bit of time in learning the rewards are worth it. It's like anything new... once you've used it a bit it no longer seems so hard to use [19:40] I hate having a desktop environment on a firewall.... all those resources!... there are no web interface solutions for iptables/netfilter [19:40] Ergo^: are hackers an issue for you? ^^ Fw protects opened ports on your machine. Default installation of Ubuntu either has none, or just a couple. [19:40] iratiku: i like vurmuur for iptables management [19:40] should I enable the hdparm service on my laptop? [19:41] iratiku: has a ncurses-like interface [19:41] kjnox - Mepis is good too - but in my opinion not quite as good as ubuntu :) [19:41] ok im going to learn how to install apps [19:41] lol never tought ill tell this frase [19:41] Ergo^: go to System->Administration->Network Tools, choose Netstat folder and view Active Network Services [19:41] iratiku: http://www.vuurmuur.org/trac [19:41] kjnox, for most apps, it is quite simple. [19:41] i really hope the improve the batter options on the next release [19:42] Default installation of Windows has a lot of open ports, e.g. NetBeui [19:42] with the Kpackage or stuff like tht? [19:42] kjnox - if your using mepis that is based on debian and uses apt for its packaging system. apt is probably the best package manager out there. it makes stuff _Very_ easy to install [19:42] how do you install a .run file? [19:43] l815: file file.run [19:43] I just put a new video card in my machine, geforce 7200 gs, my machine wont boot. [19:43] l815: does it say ELF binary? [19:43] hello everyone! I'm having problems with video playback in xbmc, there is always a green tint. Any ideas on how to remedy this? [19:43] rrva, not done downloading, but it's World of Padman [19:43] but how do i install an app without tht? [19:43] rrva, how would i uninstall it then? [19:43] kjnox: You can use the add/remove software option in the menu and use the 'apt-get' command in a terminal window. [19:44] kk ty [19:44] Also a .deb package would work. [19:44] l815: file will guess what it is, and if it's a ELF binary, just chmod a+x and type ./filename [19:44] How do you install a .package file? [19:44] you know how hardy has the encrypt option in nautilus is there a way to get that on gutsy? [19:44] im so going from here [19:44] l815: could also be a shell script. "file" will tell you [19:44] but so [19:44] Parsec300 - think kjnox is running mepis at the mo - we're gonna have to convert to ubuntu [19:44] SO going from here [19:45] rrva, okay thanks. it just said worldofmapdman.run when i downloaded it. so I assume it's just a .run lol [19:45] ok guys ill install win XP + ubunti [19:45] hello, i0ve a problem with an lcd monitor [19:45] macrobad: i have quite some ports listed :/ [19:45] I just put a new video card in my machine, geforce 7200 gs, my machine wont boot. [19:45] danand: I agree. [19:45] l815: proberly just a bash or bin file, run it from a terminal [19:45] it flicker but i don't understand why [19:46] scragar, okay ty [19:46] <^David> if i manualy put in the drivers in safe mode what should i name it as? === nevermore_ is now known as nevermore [19:46] (sorry for my bad english) [19:46] Ergo^: If they are listed against 127.*.*.* then only you can see them, [19:46] l815: may be necessary to "chmod +x worldofmapdman.run" it first to make it executable [19:46] kjnox - :) cool - make sure you read the guides on installing first [19:46] !install | kjnox [19:46] i've tried the settings from asus but nothing to do [19:46] Ergo^: How many is left? [19:46] kjnox: Good for you. Give it a good chance, you will like it! And if you run into trouble, you've already found a wealth of Linux knowledge right here. [19:46] will sun java in ubuntu hardy be updated to 6u5? it's currently at 6u4 [19:47] ya Xchat <3 [19:47] it's an asus vw193s with the latest nvidia driver [19:47] macrobad: im not sure i understand the question ? [19:48] everytime i launch a program from the panel my screen glitches ;( [19:48] rohan_: installing java yourself isn't that hard, if that solves your problem. I saw a tutorial to convert any sun java installation to a .deb somewhere [19:48] Hi, I'm looking to purchase a laptop (incidentally, my first one) and am looking for something that will work well with ubuntu / kubuntu. I would appreciate any advice on how best to choose one. [19:48] how do i use my webcam with gaim? [19:49] I'd obviously not like to pay for a copy of Windows Vista while doing so either. [19:49] what's the command to display the last n lines of a file? [19:49] arakthor: tail I think [19:49] scragar, it's a POSIX shell script [19:49] arakthor: tail -[n] file [19:49] Where is ubotu? [19:49] ah yeh, thank you Captain_Haddock [19:49] Captain_Haddock, u can download vista by bittorrent and use the paradox crack [19:49] kjnox: um I don't want vista [19:49] but vista sux too much [19:50] dun use it [19:50] I don't want to pay for it either [19:50] i just went back to my vista on dual boot to see how the dust collects, and it seems more sluggish than before haha [19:50] and I want a laptop that will run well under kubuntu [19:50] Ergo^: Look at IP Source field. If you see 127.0.0.1 or ::1, it means that the ports in these lines are not visible to anyone but you. All the 127.*.*.* addresses are normally seen by their owner, and are not advertised to network. [19:50] ya ppl vista sux too hard [19:50] what are some signs that ubuntu isn't running well on laptop ? (meaning something isn't working right) [19:51] Can someone tell me how I can add compiz to the startup? [19:51] l815: I am primarily looking to avoid driver issues [19:51] Captain_Haddock, so am I, but it's kind of hard to tell if the drivers I have are working *properly as opposed to just working [19:52] Ergo^: So, how many open ports are there, if we don't count those with the mentioned IP Sources? [19:52] but the windows vista point is also important to me as I don't want to support M$ [19:52] Captain_Haddock: Dell makes computers that come pre-installed with Ubuntu, last I checked. I, personally, do not like Dell, but I'm not going to say don't get it just because of my opinions. [19:52] the only things that seem to be of trouble are the battery/power options, brightness control, and hibernation [19:52] There's more than likely others who offer Ubuntu pre-installed, too. [19:52] ya MS ftl, became biggest software corp. by selling shit [19:53] rrva, it's a POSIX shell script, how do I execute it exactly? [19:53] !language | kjnox [19:53] Devan: I actually called Dell and they don't offer it on their laptops here except on one of their precision models which is ~USD3k [19:53] CTCP linker2u VERSION [19:53] ok sry [19:53] Captain_Haddock - check out http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ and http://tuxmobil.org/ [19:53] danand: cheers! [19:54] any XBMC on linux users? [19:54] Captain_Haddock: you can order dell laptops with windows xp instead of vista, that's a bit cheaper (50 € less in europe) [19:54] kjnox: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:54] Hey there! I've got an rsync question about filters - anyone up to help me? [19:54] zimon: thanks [19:55] ive already told sry, sry again anyway [19:55] Captain_Haddock - also check out Ubuntu's home page - pretty sure they give a list of certified hardware that ubuntu runs on inc the Toshiba Satellite U300 - which imo is a v nice maching [19:55] Acer also looks promising in that they don't pander to Microsoft [19:55] haha i wish i new i'd go to ubuntu before i bought my laptop T_T [19:55] macrobad: i have 23 ports that are ip source 0.0.0.0 - those listen to everything yes ? [19:56] is HDPARM a good server to run on a laptop? [19:56] Captain_Haddock - see http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/ [19:56] danand: Thanks. No HD-DVD drive I hope :) [19:56] no one can help me? [19:57] Captain_Haddock - :) [19:57] i guess some are samba 139 , 80, 3 or 4 are probably amule - but the rest ? i dont know ;] [19:57] danand: that is very helpful - thanks. Most of the sites I've been checking out are dated. This looks promising. [19:57] ???? this is Unicode [19:58] Captain_Haddock - np :) [19:58] fabio i dont think so ;-) === pedro_ is now known as taime1 [19:58] Ergo^: Wow! How come? I have less then 10 [19:59] macrobad: good question [19:59] im a linux noob but its a bit fishy [19:59] okay... i have tried everything to change the theme behind gdm... what am i doing wrong??? [19:59] anyone know why my screen glitches when i run a program from the panel? [19:59] Ergo^: out of which I can tell you the reason for being open for most of them. [19:59] i'm a latin-1-lover [20:00] i doubt that would be amule, i have postgresql , apache , mysql stuff like that - the rest i dont know what they are [20:00] oh man i need some coffee :D [20:00] gdmsetup [20:00] danand: any idea what the norm is nowadays in terms of battery life? 4 hours? [20:01] 3-4 hours Captain_Haddock [20:01] that's a pity [20:01] unfortuneatly i only get around 1 1/2 - 2 or so hours on ubuntu T-T [20:01] Captain_Haddock - I have no idea - my poor old dell c400 now has a battery life of about 15mins - [20:01] :( [20:01] the cpu sleeping all the time [20:02] does anyone know how to change the gtk theme that GDM uses??? [20:02] I'm told that "mobile" processors lend longer life [20:02] gdmsetup [20:02] get on a p4 (main cause in global warming) and u will c [20:02] taime1: ssystem-> admin-login [20:02] is there a thunderbird support channel somewhere? mine keeps crashing [20:02] gdmsetup does not do this [20:02] macrobad: netstat --listening would show me only open ports on my pc ? [20:02] guys, i'm looking for a program that i can use to size pipes etc. Basically a spreadsheet that is in diagram form rather than in sheet form. [20:02] But I'm not sure if these core2duos are power friendly or not [20:02] gdmsetup [20:03] Ergo^: let me figure out the right command [20:03] if u got some theme of course [20:03] ailean: size pipes? [20:03] yes they are [20:03] fabio: that's for me? [20:03] far more than amd [20:03] right [20:03] Captain_Haddock, to size anything really [20:03] so anyone know about the hdparm service? [20:04] i'm talking urbi et orbi [20:04] does anyone have a real answer in regards to changing the gtk theme that gdm uses? [20:04] taime1, does it look like win 98? [20:04] ailean: I'm not sure I understand your question. [20:04] i use it to set dmaon my ide disk [20:04] you want to measure something on the screen? [20:04] taime1, Easy enough to change a gdm theme.. [20:05] l815: no, it uses the human theme which is ugly [20:05] Jack is here to save the day [20:05] Hi Guys, just got back [20:05] l815, go to System > Preferences > Appearance [20:05] Jack_Sparrow: i have edited gdm.conf, and still cannot get it to stop using that ugly orange color [20:05] *taime1 lol [20:05] taime1, there are gdm themes and gtk themes and emerald themes [20:05] Jack_Sparrow: i clearly posted "gtk theme" [20:06] Captain_Haddock, well I know the maths that i need but I want to model for example a heating circuit. I want to be able to draw out the diagram, with mathematical relationships between points on it. Then if things change, I can alter it easily. [20:06] taime1, gtk themes here http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100 [20:06] !themes | taime1 [20:06] taime1: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [20:06] taime1, First adjust the attitude.. you said gtk theme that gdm uses which is not correct. [20:06] ailean: ah, maybe dia will help? [20:07] dia is a diagram editor yeah? [20:07] !info gdm-themes [20:07] gdm-themes (source: gdm-themes): Themes for the GNOME Display Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1 (gutsy), package size 3465 kB, installed size 3980 kB [20:07] gdm DOES use a gtk theme, Jack_Sparrow .. such as when you click on a user name, and the background color when you log in.. also when you click on any of the service buttons [20:07] its the human theme [20:07] and all i want to do is change that [20:07] Is Kopete's MSN-code newer than Pidgin's? [20:07] Captain_Haddock, does it do any maths? [20:07] ubotu, thanks for those theme links :D [20:08] Ergo^: I don't know why it doesn't work for me, but 'lsof -i' should show you all open connections. Note, however, that it will show you unix sockets too, and you would need to do sth like 'lsof -i | grep -v unix' [20:08] ailean: never used it. But it's a bit like Visio [20:08] Captain_Haddock, thanks i'll check it out [20:08] so anyone know if i should turn on the HDPARM service on a laptop? [20:08] ailean: Dia is roughly inspired by the commercial Windows program 'Visio', though more geared towards informal diagrams for casual use. It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the [20:08] shape. [20:08] http://live.gnome.org/Dia [20:09] how can I restore sound without loosing desktop? [20:09] in gdmsetup you can choose what gtkrc file touse [20:09] l815: what do you mean turn on? [20:09] Hi [20:09] doesn't it just tell you stuff about your hard drives? [20:09] guy's, i've inserted a second network card in my pc. how do i know that my os recognises it? [20:09] Captain_Haddock, the service is unchecked in the service manager, should I check it? [20:09] I don't think so [20:10] What is Adobe Premiere Pro equivalent in linux ???? [20:10] Hi people!) [20:10] Unless you want to manually modify settings for your drives I guess [20:10] it's called hard disk tuning, which sounds good, but not sure about on a laptop [20:10] macrobad: http://paste2.org/p/15155 - this is the output [20:10] do you know what hdparm is for ? [20:10] Who knows russian channel for ubuntu? [20:10] ru! [20:10] fabio, no that's why i asked :p [20:10] !ru [20:10] yes i use it [20:10] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:10] I've used it to enable DMA for my DVD drives sometimes [20:10] 10how can I restore alsa settings without loosing the desktop in 7.10 [20:11] doh! [20:11] taime1, Personally, I used drag and drop of a tar gdm theme onto the gdm login window manager for the main login theme/screen [20:11] l815 - look at man hdparm [20:11] server saturno.irc-hispachat.org [20:11] l815 - hdparm is command line utility too. [20:11] without hdparm my hdd would run slower === zancik is now known as }I{aI-I4er [20:11] ailean: you can also use LaTeX [20:11] What is Adobe Premiere Pro equivalent in linux ???? [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: heh... still didnt get what i said.. im not trying to sound rude... my question is not about the gdm theme.. but the gtk theme behind it. [20:11] l815, depending on you r hardware it can be very useful [20:11] !repeat | mad_max02 [20:11] mad_max02: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [20:12] Ergo^: as you can see, amule has opened a lot of connections, pidgin as well... But that is not all! =) Try running 'sudo lsof -i' and then you will be presented *all* opened connections. [20:12] can i just enable it and leave it on to do it's thing? or does it require some configuration? [20:12] i'm currently reading on it so maybe i i'll answer my own question [20:13] does [20:13] vlt, wow thanks for that. Really helped me. [20:13] guys, anyone? how do i know my ubuntu recognises my second network card? or how do i install it? [20:13] macrobad: http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshottd4.png - so what are those ports lower ? [20:13] NOT [20:13] mad_max02: Have a look at k ... NOT [20:14] mad_max02: I can imagine a lot of people here don't know what adobe premier pro is, including me [20:14] just insterted new network card in, and then? how do i tell ubuntu to update drivers or some like that? [20:14] i'm new to ubuntu..i have qustion [20:14] gnu: usually it should be detected automatically. [20:14] !ask [20:14] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:15] my laptop runs vista, so i installed ubuntu to an external harddrive [20:15] okay i think i'll enable it and see how it goes [20:15] If I have a core duo 2 do I shoot for the intel kernel or the amd one? [20:15] but if i try to boot wihtout the external drive plugged in === flokuehn_ is now known as flokuehn [20:15] i get Grub Error 21 [20:15] !enter | sp1227 [20:15] i know what the error means [20:15] sp1227: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:15] but how can i fix it [20:15] Captain_Haddock: wow, that is nice, but where can i check the list of hardware that i have to see if it's detected.?:) [20:16] sp1227: did you install grub on the internal disk or the external one? [20:16] gnu - look at the output of lspci and lshw to tell what hardware is detected by ubuntu. for your net card also run ifconfig to see what interfaces you have available [20:16] gnu, System> Preferences > Hardware Information [20:16] on the internal drive by accident [20:16] gnu: I'm not a gnome user, so I'm not sure where exactly. But on the command line, you could try something like ifconfig ti list the cards. [20:16] Ergo^: my output is here http://paste2.org/p/15156 [20:16] There is probably a GUI option though that does this.. [20:16] gnu - either as l815 said, or hal-device-manager [20:16] sp1227: GRUB in your internal hd's mbr wants to load the menu from your ubuntu partition. [20:16] ah, listen to l815 [20:17] :) [20:17] (same thing, two ways to get there) [20:17] :) [20:17] macrobad: but the question is is everything ok with my system based on that screenshot ? ;D [20:17] i realize that, but how can i correct that? is it possible to move grub to the external drive? [20:17] sp1227, One possibility might be to add a small linux boot sctor to your internal drive that will allow you to access windows when the external drive is not detected.. [20:18] thank you guys, already founded hardware-information, and also gonna try the commands right away [20:18] anyone have the link to the improvements that are coming with Hardy? [20:18] how to find the modeline to put inside xorg.conf? [20:18] there is a shell command? [20:18] sp1227: Yes, restore the win mbr, instal grub to the external hd and tell bios to boot from external first (if plugged in) [20:18] so create an partition on the internal drive and install grub there? [20:18] anyone got tips for using itunes within either vmware or something else with an iphone? [20:18] * Neoteric goes to http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ and installs debian [20:18] Seerl, if you want an alternative that's just as good or better, try Songbird === jonathan_ is now known as raiderxx [20:19] halo: maybe xvidtune [20:19] I got "Unexpected clusters per mft record (-127)"when performing "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1". Any1 know how to handle that? [20:19] sp1227: either way should work [20:19] thanks [20:19] sp1227: I'd try the method vlt suggested [20:19] how can i restore the mbr? [20:19] how do I get to my file browser? [20:19] does it work with an iphone though l815? i.e. synch music etc [20:19] Seerl, not sure about that, but i know it's the one of the top itune alternatives [20:19] sp1227: Take it from your last backup and use `dd` or use your win cd [20:20] it is jailbroken, unlocked and totally un-appled :) [20:20] Seerl, visit http://www.songbirdnest.com/ and see if ou find anything on that [20:20] will do [20:21] i always wonder why mac doesnt get as much beef as windows [20:21] sp1227: There should be a restore console when booting fron win cd. The tool you have to run is `fixmbr` [20:21] they are more proprietary than windows is T-T [20:21] Ergo^: The screenshot doesn't show all the connections, since you need to prepend sudo to get all of them, but from what I see your 27 connections are made by amule, pidgin, firefox, wine and steam, and there are *no* suspicious ones (if you are indeed running all this programs) [20:21] i think i'll try the new partition method first, i haven't set up a restore point in an loooong time and i ddin't get a win cd with this laptop [20:21] mac deserves way more beef than windows [20:21] !offtopic [20:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[20:22] i figure though that maybe i can run a windows install in vmware and then use it .... time to try i guess [20:23] Seerl, yah you can do that, and if you have trouble with vmware, try virtual box [20:23] will do thanks [20:23] yep good luck [20:23] danand: do you know if Toshiba allow you to ditch windows? [20:24] * Captain_Haddock is very annoyed that every manufacturer has to add, underline and link the word "Genuine" before Windows Vista :S [20:24] Captain_Haddock - I think if you ask for them to refund the cost of a windows license, by law they have to [20:24] time to make some coffee :D [20:24] How can I modify the boot screen? I mean where are the config files for the normal booting screen? I just want to remove the BAR from it. === Naota is now known as Cosmo-san [20:24] HoboBen: I saw that report on /. and believe that it depends on the laptop manufacturer's t&c [20:24] IIRC [20:24] Captain_Haddock - not sure - be suprised if it was easy to do :) [20:24] heh [20:25] * Captain_Haddock is literally astonished at how sycophantic all these huge companies are [20:25] Hi all. I got "Unexpected clusters per mft record (-127)"when performing "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1". Any1 know how to handle that? [20:25] Captain_Haddock - why not go for the dell? I've always found dell rather good [20:25] Captain_Haddock - it might be as difficult as going to court, but if you want to faff around with all that, I think it's in Microsoft's t&c which pwns manufacturer's t&c [20:25] HoboBen: I see - thanks. I'll keep that in mind. [20:25] Eicca: you mean the splash screen with the brown progress bar? [20:26] Captain_Haddock - perhaps giving them a phone call might be all you need to do (could be worth a try). [20:26] moin [20:26] danand: I actually want to - but they essentially told me that it's not possible except on their precision models. [20:26] which cost about 3k here [20:27] geirha: yea exactly :P [20:27] Captain_Haddock: This channel is only for Ubuntu support. If you are talking hardware, you can do so in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware, thanks :) [20:27] Eicca: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, remove quiet and splash from the line that starts with "# defoptions=", then run: sudo update-grub [20:27] I dont want to remove the logo [20:27] just the bar [20:27] someone can help me? : http://pastebin.com/m341149bd [20:27] macrobad: there are no suspicious ones [20:27] Eicca: ah, that's more complicated, don't know how to do that :/ [20:27] ok [20:28] Pici: I'm looking for a laptop that is compatible with Ubuntu and which does not require me to pay for windows. If that's still off-topic, I'll take it elsewhere. [20:28] btw. just testes latest ubuntu with latest wine and team fortress 2 AWESOME [20:28] Captain_Haddock: It kind of is, sorry. [20:28] i tried wine in a new glass last night..was great :) [20:28] Captain_Haddock, Dell will offer you 2 Laptops (I just bought a I1420n) and a Desktop with Ubuntu pre-installed and no Windows Tax [20:28] Pici: that's fine. Thanks. [20:29] MurielGodoi - take a look at http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/viewtopic.php?p=2595&sid=c298826acf8a60d238b4b51f7aef582d [20:29] geirha: what is that quiet? [20:29] drc: you're in the US? [20:29] Eicca: it's called usplash btw. Searching for it on google might give you some guide on how to do it [20:29] what does it stand for [20:29] yes [20:29] yea [20:29] k, cheers [20:29] Good luck anyway Captain_Haddock. [20:29] Ergo^: so, then it is perfectly OK, since these ports would be opened by the same programs even if you had a firewall configured. [20:29] HoboBen: thanks matea [20:29] can someone please help me connect my Bluetooth headset to my laptop (Thinkpad T60)? [20:29] and thanks everybody for your help :) [20:29] Captain_Haddock, i've had a look at dia. it's kinda what i mean, but i want to be able to relate boxes to each other [20:30] Eicca: when you remove the splash screen, it will print alot of text instead, and if you remove quiet as well, it will be even more descriptive [20:30] geirha: okay [20:30] Ergo^: However, for us, paranoics, there is never too much security, and you can install firestarter or configure iptables, if you feel like doing it! ;) [20:30] ailean: No idea mate - never used it. I guess you want to add information along the connectors? [20:30] its okay as far it is perfect [20:31] Captain_Haddock, yeah, but you obviously don't have any ideas. thanks anyway :) [20:31] anyone? [20:31] * Captain_Haddock was actually looking for that very feature in VYM a few days ago [20:31] geirha: how can I modify the login screen? The one I currently use is fuckin ugly [20:31] !language | Eicca [20:31] Eicca: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:32] well sorry [20:32] Hi. I'm in the middle of upgrading a box from feisty to gutsy using the commandline do-release-upgrade tool. One of the dpkg configures failed, so it stopped. I fixed that, and now all of the packages are updated and set up, but how do I get it to run any needed transitioning scripts that occur after the dist-upgrade? [20:32] can someone please help me connect my Bluetooth headset to my laptop (Thinkpad T60)?

The one I currently use is ugly [20:34] hmm [20:34] Monkee_Of_Evil: try #freenode [20:34] i put my emacs to sleep [20:34] Monkee_Of_Evil: staff don't interfere with channels unless they're on the access list, and #freenode is better for freenode help [20:34] how d oI wake it up [20:34] Eicca: System -> Administration -> login screen [20:34] Pici, sorry, I clicked wrong channel button [20:34] zetheroo try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [20:34] whoa [20:34] Is there a graphical fstab configurator?

[20:36] yes but how do i add a theme [20:36] greasy_leftwing: glxinfo | less [20:36] ta [20:36] zetheroo ok, so what is the problem you are having [20:36] you have to install the murrine engine though right?

It's installed by default in Hardy Heron. :-) [20:37] is there any way that alt+ctrl+del produce system monitor in the same way as task manager in windows [20:37] hischild: yes, like vpn? [20:37] would i install emerald theme manager [20:38] xarquid, yes. [20:38] anyone else experience a screen glitch when launching a program from panel? [20:38] okay [20:38] hischild: yep. would you like a good how to? :) [20:38] RyanPrior: doesnt seem to have an entry in here for it [20:38] xarquid, that'd be great ;-) [20:38] any other methods spring to mind?

[20:39] guys, can i install IPCop on an existing Linux mashine as a package, or do i have to install it from theyr LiveCD? cuz i cant find any info on installing it on an existiong system. [20:39] fbc one would never know til they log on [20:39] hischild: O'Reilly - http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2001/02/23/wep.html .... RevSys Guide (Good As Well) - http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html [20:40] xarquid, thanks .. i'll look into those [20:40] !ipcop [20:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about ipcop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:40] k0rnz, go to Add/Remove and type Flash [20:40] gnu, IPCop is meant to be a stand-alone distribution. [20:40] see if it's checked (installed) [20:40] Nope.. nowt in there either [20:40] ok [20:40] Hello. Is there a kqemu repo for Dapper available somewhere? [20:41] lots of data but nothing pertaining to the gfx memory capacity [20:41] amenado: I want to control my ubuntu with vnc without having to leave my computer at home logged in. [20:41] amenado: vnc server does not appear to run until I login [20:41] anyone? [20:41] k0rnz, if it is and still doesn't work, type in "Ubuntu restricted extras" and install it [20:42] Devan: thank you, i alreay quite see it. just my teacher told me to: "install IPCop on an Linux mashine" and i search for IPCop and find only the LiveCD method explanation [20:42] fbc: Do you want to connect to your real X server or to a virtual one? [20:42] 1815 thanks [20:42] amenado: I basiclaly wan to know how to make it run as a system service instead of just with my account. [20:42] k0rnz, yw [20:42] can someone please help me connect my Bluetooth headset to my laptop (Thinkpad T60)? [20:42] xarquid, just two questions .... does it still connect on the default ssh port when forwarding a different port? and can i forward an entire range this way as well? [20:42] fbc umm, vnc server is awaiting for you to connect, but it is running once you start it [20:42] vlt: Sorry I don't understand the question, I like VNC [20:43] how can i change the power option on ubuntu with a vaio vgn-fz240e? [20:43] hischild: I have never seen SSH handle all ports (I.E. SSH act like VPN though)... [20:43] Is there a graphical fstab configurator? [20:43] xarquid, more like, say i want to forward the ports 2500-2800 ... could i do that the same way? [20:43] fbc you can have xinetd provide hooks to run vnc [20:43] RyanPrior, Not that I am aware of, just gksudo gedit [20:43] vncserver* [20:43] fbc: For conecing to a "real" X server you can use x11vnc. For creating a virtual X server running vncserver is ok. [20:43] gnu, there's a LiveCD for IPCop? I thought it was install only. Anyways, why would your teacher have you install IPCop? That's a dedicated firewall distribution. [20:43] Hello I've installed Amarok on Ubuntu (using Gnome) and I can't see the small blue guy icon at the artist list. How can I solve this? [20:44] amenado: When I reboot my computer I cannot login through vnc unless I physically go to may computer and login first, then vnc appears to work. [20:44] hischild: So tunneling through SSH can't really handle ALL traffic...I think there is some software that uses SSH encryption (like blowfish) that uses the libraries to achieve the same thing...but VPN software is what does what you are referring to, I guess (forwarding ALL traffic...). That's why it is slower and most prefer SSH tunneling, because it just forwards one specific port or specified port ranges instead of -all- traffic. [20:44] vlt: I will try that thanks.. [20:44] fbc-> via xinetd try to use that [20:44] hischild: Now that is definitely something more suitable for ssh. Single ports or port ranges are good for ssh :) [20:44] brb [20:45] Does anyone know the "config" file for login screen? Like where I could remove elements from the login screen. [20:45] hischild: VPN is better for ALL traffic...but it's slow...SSH tunneling is made for port forwarding and encrypted tunnels between locations. [20:45] list [20:45] xarquid: Why is VPN slow? [20:45] okay so i have emerald theme manager [20:46] vlt: Depends on network and connection and what you are doing. It was a general statement. [20:46] now how to i import the theme [20:46] hi all [20:46] Eicca, not sure it's what you need, but go to System > Preferences > Login Window [20:46] xarquid, it doesnt have to forward all traffic ... for the love of god, please not (there's some srs downloading being done on his end) ... but i can, instead of just a single port, specify a range? [20:46] vlt: It is SLOWER than SSH tunneling on single ports. (VPN compared to SSH tunneling...). [20:46] hi [20:46] is there a table of contents plugins in abiword ? [20:46] ah is there a fix for the font rendering problems with Open Office? [20:46] vlt: Unless you use VPN for just specified ports, then it is essentially the same thing. Most people use VPN and use it to forward all ports and all traffic through it which essentially a waste of bandwidth for both parties... [20:47] so, whats up with ubuntu network device passwords. i have to be root just to use wireshark [20:47] xarquid: really? Thought it depends on the encryption used? [20:47] !customization [20:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about customization - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:47] vlt: It can depend on encryption. It depends on a lot of factors ;p [20:47] Is there a channel for theming or customization [20:47] Cann0n: it's to keep unpriviliged users from messing up the system [20:47] xarquid: Ok, got it. [20:47] hischild: yes, you can specify a port range [20:48] !channels [20:48] Photocopy, customization of what? [20:48] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [20:48] guys, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for a diagram spreadsheet - i.e. where i can draw out a diagram and relate the contents of each both to a mathematical formula and link them together in some way [20:48] bod_ like theming... [20:48] hischild: I.E. 6000 > 6010 or as you said that would work as well. So yes. [20:48] xarquid, then that's exactly what i need ... tnx :-) I'll probably come around with more questions, but for now ... thanks! [20:48] Photocopy, themeing gnome? [20:48] ailean, like Visio type style? [20:48] bod_; My desktop... yes [20:48] hischild: Sorry for delving into VPN, I got off topic with another question ;p Have a good one. [20:48] With what application can I open microsoft project files? [20:49] Starnestommy, thats lame. if there a way to kill that? [20:49] phoenixz, Open Office [20:49] xarquid, no problem. vpn is a bit to slow for what i'm trying to achieve here (forward game traffic without creating a huge delay) [20:49] phoenixz, wait not sure about project [20:49] T-T [20:49] l815, yeah, i think so [20:49] hischild: Then SSH tunneling/forwarding is perfect :-) [20:49] Photocopy, dunno, for compiz effects go to #compiz-fusion apart from that, i'm not sure [20:49] ailean, open office draw you can do visio type things [20:49] Cann0n: there are some ways, but it's strongly recommended that you just keep the current setup. [20:50] iter, ^^ [20:50] bod_: Nah, i am fine with compiz... Can you help me out then? [20:50] l815, thanks [20:50] shred is running for 8 hours now, and i bet it will take more than 2 more days ;) [20:50] ailean, yw [20:50] Photocopy, only if you pm me. Its notn really a tech support prob [20:50] Starnestommy, yeah but im not a beginner with linux. i've been using slackware for 6 years [20:50] just im new to ubuntu [20:50] xarquid, yeah =) trying it out now [20:50] which noobified me. :( [20:51] haha [20:51] Cann0n, you ran into trouble? [20:51] bod_, don't say it ... not yet [20:51] hischild, say what? [20:51] no, just wondering why ubuntu is so protective [20:51] ailean, you might have to install the open office from the website as opposed to the one that comes with ubuntu [20:51] Cann0n, so it can't be broken by accident :-) [20:51] bod_, the channelname :p [20:51] l815> Okay, I'll give it a try.. thanks! [20:52] hischild, #ubuntu-classroom [20:52] bod_, you had 2 do it didnt you ... [20:52] l815, i use windows at work so i'm gonna have to do that anyway [20:52] hahaha ;~) [20:52] phoenixz, np, if it doesn't work, type in "project" or "documents" in add/remove and search for something that will open that type of file [20:52] is there any firefox 3 beta package for gutsy amd64? [20:52] yeah i know, but i have to config all my network tools just so eth1 shows up in the device lists... wasnt sure if there was a super easy feature to shut that off or not... [20:53] ailean, alright, the ubuntu version of open office doesn't include draw [20:53] its too user-friendly for me i guess. lol [20:53] l815, cheers [20:53] Cann0n, its "Linux for human beings" instead of "linux for programmers" [20:54] has anyone here got a login to britanica? [20:54] ailean, actually i'm sorry. If you go to Open Office Word Processor, and go to New > Drawing it works [20:54] l815, yeah i found it :D [20:54] ailean, :) sorry about that mis-information :P [20:54] has anyone here got a login to britanica? [20:55] l815, no bother :D [20:55] !repeat | Sunderland2006 [20:55] Sunderland2006: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Also see !patience [20:55] ailean, okay enjoy yourself :) [20:55] how do i import themes and make them work [20:55] hi...apport-qt is not working here....does anyone know why? [20:55] so am I to understand that ubuntu can only do ext3 for the root partition and that the installer itself will fail if you try xfs for /?

[20:56] Cann0n, perhaps you should suggest it to the developement team [20:57] i've two WD 200 GB drives in a RAID 0 config, Fedora has recognized my set up since F6 but Ubuntu shows 2 separate drives [20:57] once they fix the battery options, and hibernation issues then i'll be overly excited :) [20:57] bod_, i guess i should. [20:57] Cann0n, ;~) [20:57] Cann0n, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [20:58] how can i check for all connections currently open, including those connected via ssh and the connections they made?

[21:09] gilligan_, then i'm probably confused as to what you're trying to do [21:09] l815, ;~) [21:09] hischild, i [21:09] hmm im pretty sure you can [21:09] hischild, nevermind.. :) [21:09] Hello! I was just wondering if gtkpod supports the new iPods yet or not :) [21:09] gilligan_, ok =) [21:09] gralco, makes sense , sorry i can't help on that [21:10] so, if there a way to turn off these annoying passwords? [21:10] hischild, its probably indeed the bios changing the brightness level and the kernel has no way of setting it .. BECAUSE the 'video' acpi module is disabled.. it hangs the system [21:10] Anyone know how to invoke a vnc at system startup? [21:10] How can I see a log of the startup programs? [21:10] i dont know how to import the themes i downloaded from beryl project to my ubuntu themes though [21:11] Docfxit, System > Preferences > Sessions [21:11] gralco, you have to get Emerald theme manager [21:12] which i have [21:12] aqui so tem gente boa ? [21:12] gralco, did you import them into it? [21:12] vc ja deu o cuzinho ? [21:12] Docfxit: dmesg [21:12] l815 » That shows me the startup programs. I'd like to see the log when they were run. I'm having a problem with one not running correctly. [21:12] gralco, then try Alt+f2 and type compiz --replace [21:12] when i downloaded it from beryl it was installed on to my desktop as and archive [21:12] macrobad » Tx. [21:13] Docfxit, ah okay [21:13] woot, it's installing \o/ [21:13] hello everybody [21:13] I am installing ubuntu to virtual box, when creating a vm there are OS Type choice - different linux versions , but no Ubuntu. What do I choose? [21:13] np [21:13] BuSefer: linux 2.6 [21:13] thank you [21:13] Docfxit: dmesg actually cat's /var/log/messages [21:13] how much RAM do I give it? [21:13] pussy [21:13] pussy [21:13] porra de grilo [21:13] puzzy [21:14] puffy [21:14] meu cu ta doendo demais [21:14] UAHsuhaushau [21:14] porra [21:14] macrobad » That's great. [21:14] seus fdp [21:14] eu programo [21:14] manjo em delphi seus fdp [21:14] -_- [21:14] Starnestommy: how much RAM do I give it? [21:14] sua bichinha desgraçada [21:14] so that gave me a new theme but its not the one i downloaded [21:14] BuSefer: 128 or 256 MB should work [21:14] vou fazer o downloaded da sua mãe [21:14] gralco, just click the one you want to use under emerald theme manager [21:14] ok, thanks [21:14] gralco, it should change to the one you click on now [21:14] there is any benefic from imstalling apache with (configure make, make install) versus apt-get install apache ??? [21:15] i cant import it though because its an archive [21:16] gralco, extract the archive to wherever you'd like then drag the extracted folder to the emerald theme manager [21:16] W00tw000t, unless there's a reason to do it from source, you're better off using the package [21:17] gralco, check the folder to see if there are more archives, because many themes come with more than one version of the theme [21:17] ks3 ok thanks [21:17] ahh i just had to rename it with .emerald at the end [21:17] amule looks awesome in ubuntu :) [21:17] =) [21:17] gralco, lol i guess that works too :P [21:18] amule had issues with me [21:18] first time im running amule. [21:18] i use emule on my xp side [21:18] just started using windows again. [21:18] is there any way i can change ntfs partition to ext ? [21:18] unlikely [21:18] Hm, any experienced vim users here? How do I do s/$/
/ for the next 100 lines? [21:19] Ergo^, repatition [21:19] apo: s/$/
/g [21:19] Starnestommy: 100 lines, not all lines [21:19] Starnestommy: Also, you mean %s/$/
/ [21:19] Cann0n: sorry i forgot to add that i want to preserve the data :P [21:19] I have a startup program called sharex11vnc. I don't see it in the startup log. What could I have done wrong. If I run it from a terminal session it runs fine. [21:19] Ergo^: No [21:20] Ergo^: I'm pretty sure there isn't. [21:20] <`David> greasy_leftwing [21:20] Ergo^, back it up. [21:20] Ergo^: Your best bet is probably to just move files over. [21:20] which is better, transmission or deluge? [21:20] heh, so i have a problem then [21:20] hello! i have a problem... i'm stupid :-) [21:20] l815: rtorrent [21:20] <`David> i figured out the problem with repartitioning windows xp [21:20] apo, i'm a newb at command line [21:21] l815: Depends on what you want, deluge was more features, tranmission is smaller and simpler [21:21] so, whats up with amule? shit keeps crashing on me for no reason... [21:21] grrrr... im going back to slack. later folk [21:21] apo, 5:s/blahblahblah [21:21] I need some help configuring my wireless network, using a wep key should I put the 0x too ? (I mean should type 0xfe396ae04f or fe396ae04f) [21:21] l815: It's not really command line. You just don't handle it with a mouse :) [21:21] <`David> you need to defrag and completely shutdown windows before you can partition [21:21] ks3: Thanks [21:21] i do like transmissions simplistic outlook [21:22] apo, whoops, meant 100:s........ [21:22] apo, i'm willing to give it a try if it's really simple to learn how to use it [21:22] Doxfxit: So, is it started after system reboot, although it doesn't appear in logs? [21:22] I have problem with video files or video player. whenever i try stop a video playing in totem movie player my pc gets stuck and i have to restart it. This thing hold for any format be it flv,mpeg,avi. [21:22] jamil_11020429: Even ogg's ? [21:22] im trying to install grub on a small partition on an internal drive [21:23] macrobad » It does run but not correctly. And doesn't appear in the log. [21:23] hmm i haven't checked [21:23] <_DaVe__> estoy [21:23] jamil_11020429: There should be a ogg video is the examples folder [21:23] does what type of formatting do i use? ext3, or linux-swap? [21:23] i havent checked [21:23] is there a way to stop the screen glitch when i launch a program from the panel? [21:23] l815: I think it's easy, but then again, I'm a sucker for ncurses stuff. [21:23] sp1227: ext3 [21:23] sp1227: GRUB uses any linux filesystem [21:23] just a min [21:24] l815: Lemme search for a link. [21:24] whether i get stuck or not [21:24] apo, great thanks [21:24] apo: how do install grub that partition? [21:24] macrobad » I know it runs because it is supposed to display what port it's running on. The window comes up with no port in it. [21:24] jamil_11020429: So if you leave the room that means you got stuck :) [21:24] using the terminal, do i just [21:24] "grub" [21:24] !grub | sp1227 [21:24] sp1227: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:25] sp1227: Uh, I dunno. I usually let hte ubuntu installer handle everything [21:25] l815: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ is the rtorrent homepage, there's a guide at http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide [21:25] I was following these guides (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskOnUbuntu and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskOnUbuntuFeisty) in the first one it sent me to the second page if I am using gusty would I want to follow the second page too or is it specific fesity issues? [21:25] ima li neko ziv? [21:25] Docfxit: ps -ef | grep 'name of program' should tell you for sure it really runs. What is more it would tell you what command line options it was given, so that you could compare them with manual start up [21:25] apo, thanks again.. i'll give it a try [21:25] l815: And I'm pretty sure that the folks in #rtorrent will be glad to help you if you get stuck :) [21:25] apo: the reason im asking is because i installed ubunutu on an external drive, but accidentaly installed grub on the internal drive. so whenever i try to boot without the external drive, i keep getting error 21 [21:26] apo, do you know a quick way to install it using terminal? [21:26] l815: sudo apt-get install rtorrent [21:26] i would have never figured it out with out you telling me to press alt+F2 and typing in compiz [21:26] thanks [21:26] apo, haha should have tried that first -_- [21:26] l815: *g* [21:27] <`David> guys any tips on getting ubuntu to connect to aol (dial-up) [21:27] l815: If you want a newer version, you can get it from their svn or their unstable release, but unless you wanna be bleeding edge, I don't recommend compiling it yourself :) [21:27] apo, i do like being bleeding edge, but since i'm new at it i'll stay with stable [21:27] if i cant change ntfs->ext3 , maybe i could do ntfs->fat32->ext3 ? [21:28] Ergo^: no, formatting is a destructive process [21:28] apo, i learned my lesson with the hardy unstable release haha [21:28] l815: I can guide you throgh it if you want. [21:28] through* [21:28] David: broadband or dialup? [21:28] how to 'convert' bmp file to jpg file, and tell 'convert' dont compress it too much? [21:28] !dialup | `David [21:28] `David: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [21:28] l815: The unstable releases are working just fine for me. [21:28] bluecake: You can select the compression. [21:28] apo, ill learn how to do the basics first, and once i get comfortable i'll upgrade [21:29] Flannel: im not talking about formatting, i want to switch filesystems - im sure fat32->ntfs works ive done it few times, it should be reversable too [21:29] l815: Alright. [21:29] apo, thanks again [21:29] Ergo^: "Changing filesystems" is formatting [21:29] l815: You're welcome :) [21:29] Ergo^: Or at least, as far as data destruction is concerned [21:29] Ergo^: fat32 -> ntfs is a special case. It doesn't work for ntfs -> ext3 [21:30] apo: never recommend unstable [21:30] Tm_T: I didn't. [21:30] yes it happens for oggs as well === windvogel is now known as windvogel_ [21:30] jamil_1102042Are you using totem-gstreamer, or totem-xine ? === windvogel_ is now known as windvogel_one [21:31] apo, ? [21:31] <`David> guys ill ubuntu automaticly pick up the drivers on my plug n play modem? [21:31] apo, what's the command to open the torrent ? i see the switches but doesn't show the actual command [21:31] is there an easy way to resize ext3 partitions ? [21:31] apo, did you see what i typed? [21:31] totem-gstreamer [21:31] l815: [21:31] how to 'convert' bmp file to jpg file, and do 'convert -some option' so it does not compress too much? [21:31] i read the webpag for convert, but did not see an option for that [21:31] jamil_11020421: Have you tried totem-xine? [21:31] Ergo^: Any partition manager can. You'll probably need to boot to a liveCD, since you can't resize while in use. And you can only move the foot of the filesystem as well [21:31] nope [21:31] bluecake: Oh, sorry. I read "doesn't convert compress it too much" [21:32] apo, backspace is the url then? [21:32] is there some way to check how long ubuntu has been installed on my system? [21:32] bluecake: convert -help helps. I don't know the command right now, sorry. [21:32] i lost connection [21:32] well in some way i have tried [21:32] "you can only move the foot of the filesystem as well" what does that mean ? [21:32] l815: no, hit backspace, then enter the path/url [21:32] but in totem xine half of screen is blue [21:32] apo, oh it's literal o_o [21:32] l815: When you hit backspace, load_start will appear at the bottom. === windvogel_one is now known as windvogel [21:32] apo, okay [21:32] jamil_11020421: Does the same happen with a different movie player like mplayer or vlc? [21:32] macrobad » Tx. Now I see it's looking for a file in the wrong directory. What is in the startup is ~/.vnc/passwd Where it is getting the file from is /home/docfxit/.vnc/passwd Where it should get the file from is /root/.vnc/passwd How can I change it to go to the correct directory? [21:33] l815: There's also a page with a lot of neat stuff you can do in your options file, http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentCommonTasks [21:33] Hey, is it possible that ctrl-alt-F7 could cause your session to get *really really* slow and laggy? [21:33] Ergo^: You can only move the tail end of the filesystem (making it bigger or not), you can't move the front part. If you have hda1 which is ext3, and you get rid of hda2, you can expand hda1 into the space. If you get rid of hda1, you can't directly expand hda2 into that space (you're moving "forward" on the drive) [21:33] i haven't tried VLC but with mplayer different output mode are to be used with different file [21:33] I somehow hit ctrl alt f1 or something and got out of X.....and when I switched back it was ridiculously slow till I logged out and then back in [21:33] apo, how do you set the download directory? === kazol__ is now known as kazol [21:34] does any1 know here, why that ubuntu only finds one core instead of 2? cpuinfo shows this... http://pastebin.com/f258bfea6 [21:34] apo, sorry i'm asking too much :/ [21:34] how do you make it so that the windows stick out when i use the cube effect with compiz fusion [21:34] !freenx [21:34] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology.

[21:36] Flannel: yeah i think oyu are right, im not sure if partition magic did not have the functionality to move both ways but it was very slow [21:37] Hey there folks, I'm missing the splash image for Ubuntu 7.10 [21:37] Docfxit: It depends on from whom your program is started and the permissions of the file with passwords.

[21:48] kenro, gnome seems jittery sometimes and i can't change enough things around. Compiz is nice and has some fun features, yet it can't be customized how i want it. Thus i want to change a few things around :-) [21:48] but i thought u needed 64 to go above 4gb [21:48] im just at 4gb [21:48] i was reading some posts which i can't find now, which explained the problem [21:48] 32bit installations have a memory limit while 64bit ones dont [21:49] nope [21:49] Flannel: E: couldn't find package gcc 3.4 [21:49] cube, i think 32 bit is limited to 3.something gb of ram [21:49] thats because of the memory allocation and some other stuff [21:49] hischild: have you tried ccsm? [21:49] Odd-rationale: i typed in the terminal code and it said it cannot access 'plugins.sh' [21:49] well i will just wait for 8.04 then to go 64 [21:49] Flannel: E: couldn't find package gcc-3.4 is what I meant.

[22:34] macrobad: slavik: my laptop ships with a recovery partition NOT a cd.. i saved the recovery partition when i upgraded to gutsy. i believe there is an image file of the factory settings in it [22:34] gralco: OK. Delete all the files you created/extracted except for the plugins.tar.gz (the one from the forum) And we'll start this over.

[22:36] gralco: possible ~/.compiz [22:37] punkshui: You should start the tool you have used to save the recovery partition and feed it with the image. [22:37] shawn_selig29: it's not the same as I get [22:37] Lifeisfunny: Indeed, life is funny! ^^ [22:37] shawn_selig29: what happens if you type java -version [22:37] macrobad: the computer comes with this partition with an image in it.. i didnt create it [22:37] if no one can help can someone point in the right direction? [22:38] punkshui, I'm looking at a page on support.microsoft.com explaining how to remove Linux [22:38] swatTX perhaps you should ask your question again [22:38] Lifeisfunny: does it require a windows cd? [22:38] swatTX: sounds like there's a bug keeping the system from booting properly [22:40] Starnestommy: any idea how to get past it. I'm pretty sure it has something to to with my ATI drivers. I just tried to go with the restricted-drivers and when i tried to remove them i locked up and booted into initramfs [22:40] today i installed a ubuntu with debootstrap. everything is working fine, allthough the gnome-power-manager doesnt seem to have as many options as i had before. what package do i need to install for this? [22:40] punkshui: Actually, it is a good question. I couldn't figure out how to use recovery partitions. Perhaps, you may need to change the boot sequence in BIOS, or by any means try booting from the recovery partition. === vedo is now known as mali [22:41] macrobad: id like to boot from the recovery partition how do i do that? [22:41] punkshui, it does say: "verify that you have a bootable disk or bootable CD-ROM for the Linux operating system," and "Insert either a bootable floppy disk or the bootable Windows XP CD-ROM, and then press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart your computer." === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [22:42] Odd-rationale: lets start over [22:42] gralco: Great!

Like ~/Desktop or ~/.compiz [22:43] shawn_selig29: it isn't going to be fully released until next month [22:43] shawn_selig29: there is a freeze but it is not release yet [22:43] ok [22:43] i can easily update via soft. update..and keep all my setting and stuff? [22:44] punkshui: I couldn't find any easy ways, and, thus, formatted my recovery partition. It must be possible to use fdisk to change the active disk, or alter settings of grub. [22:44] hmm [22:45] Odd-rationale: so i need to extract plugins.tar.gz to the desktop [22:45] gralco: Well, yes.

[22:48] !test [22:48] Failed. [22:48] Odd-rationale: extracting* [22:48] test [22:48] gnarlyc, make sure it says gksu /usr/sbin/synaptic [22:49] gralco: Open nautilus and find the plugins.tar.gz file. Right click that file [22:49] wats a good p2p program like frostwire/ limewire? [22:49] Jack_Sparrow: no.

[23:07] gralco: You will have to rerun the script so do ./plugins.sh in the terminal again (hint: use the up arrow) [23:07] `David, Then it is probably not a hardware modem and I cant help with that [23:08] <`David> but Jack_Sparrow it shows up on the hardware list on ubuntu [23:08] Sindacious: It doesn't really matter as long as it works! =) [23:08] Odd-rationale: then 2 and just keep doing htat?

[23:10] macrobad: So just deal with dataport access (plugin ethernet cord, looks like a telephone cord) til Heron's wlan subsystem gets sorted, huh?

I think I messed you up a couple times. :) [23:12] that will do it for me [23:12] thanks PriceChild [23:12] DaftPunk: how long you been on irc mang? [23:12] how can i format unpartitiond space with hfs+ in ubuntu? i can only use hfs with gparted and it only lets me go to 2gb... i want hfs+ to install mac as dual boot [23:12] kenro: I am back. Uh, so you call ethernet a 'dataport'. Yeah, it is. [23:12] lisciss, No way then, you could try to paste the text on the X system into gvim, copy it from there to a special clipboard (like a), save the vim session, load in on the console, edit a new file and paste the copied text. But I'm not sure if this will really work. [23:12] i dont think you can format to hfs+, you might wanna do that with disk utility in the os x install [23:12] nbkr: yes - is it problem or not???

[23:13] kenro: and what about iwconfig eth1? [23:13] gralco: Pretty cool, eh? [23:13] c0rr, i was going to, but i have other partitions and it said all partitions will be lost even though i "locked" them from being changed during the osx install... so im scared ill lose ubuntu [23:13] macrobad: ethernet's the protocol. Dataports are what you plug into. [23:13] nbkr, thats what I usually do ,, but with nano. I was wandering if there was a quicker way [23:13] Odd-rationale: yeah [23:13] no shit. [23:14] neztiti, "kept back" means that the system can't update these packages without updating/changing other packages. It is not a real problem, just not nice. [23:14] well, back up your stuff, install os x (while leaving free space) then install ubuntu [23:14] Anyone got a minute to help out with some sound problems? [23:15] nbkr: w8 to do u think ??? [23:15] neztiti, You can force the system to update those packages by entring e.x. "sudo apt-get install mythtv". It will show you what other packages will be changed. [23:15] <`David> where can i get Gnome Modem Monitor and Network Monitor [23:15] kenro: I know that ethernet is one of many L2 protocols, I am just not used to referring to it as dataport access, and have always used wired connection instead. [23:15] dr_spork: ffmpeg [23:15] If I have a private key but lost the public ssh key, can I generate a compatible public key for it? [23:15] neztiti, I have the same problem with some clamav packages from time to time. By now forcing the system to do the upgrade wasn't any problem yet, but I never installed mythtv. [23:15] c0rr, i dont wanna spend days setting this up, why waste my time when i potentially hav the option to just install osx after partitioning hfs+, instead of doing ubuntu again which will take like days [23:15] or vice-versa? [23:16] benanzo, No, thats impossible. [23:16] dr_spork: ffmpeg -i input.avi -b 200K (or whatever you want) output.avi [23:16] gralco: Well. See you later. gtg! [23:16] later [23:16] dr_spork: ffmpeg will use defaults for whatever parameters you don't specify [23:17] I have a ssh account on a shared server -- I want to know if someone there grabs the .ssh/authorized_keys file if they'd be able to generate a compatible id_rsa for for it? [23:17] macrobad: iwconfig by itself shows eth0/eth1 with no wireless extensions. Wireless extensions are, instead, attached to something called wlan_rename. [23:17] nbkr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58545/ [23:17] benanzo, Well, ok if would be a gpg key than you could generate the public key from the private one (as the private one normaly contains a copy of the public as far as I remember), but you won't be able to generate the private key out of the public. That would be a huge security leak. [23:17] I tried using the restricted ATI drivers, didn't like them and went to remove them. During removal my system locked up and now boots to the '(initramfs)' login prompt. Can anyone help me restore my original drivers? [23:17] dr_spork: ffmpeg will reencode it, but i guess you can't call it quick [23:18] neztiti, Try "sudo apt-get install mythtv mythtv-frontend mythtv-backend mythtv-common mythtv-database mythtv-transcode-utils wine-doors" [23:19] neztiti - you can get the system to upgrade the packeges that are "kept back" by doing apt-get install for each of the packages in the list. usually packages are kept back because they now require or depend on extra packages to work. i always see what the system is going to do by running apt-get with the -s flag first ie apt-get -s package_name [23:19] kenro: Err... It seems that I am not the right guy to help you, but anyway, let me connect my wifi card and see what goes where. [23:19] hi guys [23:19] i just relaosed when i try to put my laptop to sleep it doesnt wake up..and i need ot hold power button to restart [23:19] i got a inspiorn 6400 [23:19] Salut Ça Va [23:19] is there anyhting i gotta install for it to work? [23:19] neztiti - *apt-get -s install package_name [23:19] shawn: just dont put it to sleep then [23:20] nbkr: i trided but the same [23:20] ok [23:20] you are mi love you [23:20] neztiti, Any more mentioned packages? [23:20] when I ssh to a remote computer -- am I sending my id_rsa to the remote computer for processing? or am I getting the authorized_keys *from* the remote computer? I wonder if it's possible to people on the remote machine to dump my id_rsa out of memory [23:20] use hibernate, its a bit slower but it should at least work [23:21] ok i checged it tohibernat einstead of sleep when lid is closed [23:21] thxs [23:21] benanzo, You are not sending your private key. The server sends you a "challenge" encrypted with your id_rsa.pub. Your PC encrypts it and sends it back. That proves that you are the owner of the private key to the save "authorized_key" [23:22] Oh ok [23:22] Thanks [23:22] um [23:22] I'll just throw this out there, I just installed Ubuntu, and everything works but the sound. The drivers say they're there, xmms says it's playing, but there's no sound. [23:23] i have a microsoft usb wireless mouse taht has worked on every distro of linux i've tried so far.... but it doesn't work on kubuntu! lsusb shows it, and it's def not the port since it lights up (the receiver). also i can't find gpm? it says something refers to it but it has no candidates (apt-get install gpm) [23:23] steven_, Did you made sure that all sound controls are up - nothing muted ... ? [23:23] steven_: check to see that the actual volume is up? (Not in xmms, but in like the sound preferences) sometimes it defaults to mute [23:23] can I remove evolution from my system ?? when I try to remove it with synaptics it requests to remove some other files that I dont know if they are important [23:23] shawn_selig29, If that has ati video look into slub and video problems with hibernate [23:23] nbkr/dxdt: Yes, I have. That's the first thing I checked. [23:23] is it possible to setup a file manager like gksudo nautilus in xfce? [23:24] nettow0822_, Try thunar [23:24] mad_max02: yeah, it will probably scare you with something like remove ubuntu-desktop, but that is just a meta package. You should be OK unless you should only lose functions that evolution provide to you. [23:24] what would be the sudo command before thunar? [23:25] steven - in a terminal type "asoundconf list" without the quotes and see what you get === driftwood2 is now known as cat1234 [23:25] dan: Name.. etc.. Intel [23:27] nbkr: i have to do apt-get dist-upgrade [23:27] I have a driver problem. The wireless driver I need doesn't work on the current kernel. Not sure where to go to try and fix it, or get a new one written. Any ideas? thanks [23:27] i have a microsoft usb wireless mouse taht has worked on every distro of linux i've tried so far.... but it doesn't work on kubuntu! lsusb shows it, and it's def not the port since it lights up (the receiver). also i can't find gpm? it says something refers to it but it has no candidates (apt-get install gpm) [23:28] steven_ - ok, type alsamixer in the terminal - check through all the settings - make sure all looks ok. if you have external amplifier enabled then disable that. also check that the name of the card and chip at the top of the screen matches the soundcard you hace [23:28] Is there a desklett available for monitoring network connections? [23:28] danand: i have 2 do apt-get dist-upgrade [23:29] #ubuntu-br [23:29] neztiti - ok [23:29] danand: Everything looks good -- but theres only four settings. Where would external amplifier be? [23:29] can someone provide a url for console commands and descriptions for beginners? [23:30] orudie: linuxcommand.org [23:30] what's harder on your CPU: FLAC or MP3? [23:30] danand: do u use mythtv??? [23:31] steven_ - only four settings? see if you can use the arrow keys (right arrow key) to see more settings. does the card and chip that alsamixer report match your soundcard? [23:31] neztiti - no sorry [23:32] danand: Haha, yeah I thought that was weird.. but it matches, and the only four are Master, PCM, Caller ID and Off-hook [23:32] what is the graphical text editor in xfce? [23:33] mousepad? [23:33] kenro: Hola! I am back! It is dangerous to play with your network connection... Anyway, my guess you are experiencing problems with the driver for you wireless card. [23:33] steven - ok, is this an on board sound card? [23:34] i have a microsoft usb wireless mouse taht has worked on every distro of linux i've tried so far.... but it doesn't work on kubuntu! lsusb shows it, and it's def not the port since it lights up (the receiver). also i can't find gpm? it says something refers to it but it has no candidates (apt-get install gpm) [23:34] danand: yep, laptop [23:35] steven_ - ok, type cat /proc/asound/cards and cat /proc/asound/modules and see what you get [23:35] hi, im having a strange keyboard problem. on the login screen, my keyboard types fine...but after i login, i have to press *really hard* in order for my keyboard to work... (it's a standard dell keyboard, no special drivers needed) [23:35] weird i tried updating open office and just erased the stuff [23:35] really frustrated user here getting ready to reinstall yet again because i can't get around this initramfs prompt [23:35] macrobad: I need a new NID. til they give up their full spec sheets, * Broadcom. === rawhide_ is now known as rawhide [23:35] HDA-Intel and snd_hda_intel [23:36] kenro: Oh, I feel your pain! I have a Broadcom card too, and it is not cool at all. [23:36] dxdt, hope ur right. I removed everything that has something to do with evolution [23:36] hey where can i see what is being startet when the system boots? i think that's a lot too much [23:36] Sakkath - your apt-get problem sounds like you need to enable a repository - check you have the universe repository enabled [23:36] kenro: What would 'lspci | grep Network' tell you? [23:36] swatTX: I know the pain of trying to use ATI with linux. Have you changed your video driver back to "ati" from "fglrx" in xorg.conf? [23:37] danand: thanks for response. it IS only the install cd though. taht might be why. that's just a help, but not even a lil' bit required. i'd much rather know why this mouse isn't working. the device is set to /dev/input/mice in xorg.conf, the default; i see no reason this shouldn't work as it has on many other distros [23:37] mad_max02: I'm pretty sure I've removed it in the past on a different release of Ubuntu so I'm pretty sure it is OK. [23:37] edchen ? a presure sensitive keyboard lol u probably have enabled slow keys try disabling it [23:37] very sure. Would be surprised if it broke something lol [23:37] kumool: ah...ha, thanks [23:37] Light-: i can't access any prompt other than the initramfs. currently booting into the live CD though [23:38] macrobad: Perhaps the worst part is, beyond the rabid, slavering proprietarianism, is this lappy was designed for WinVista...

[23:39] swatTX: may be relevant: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642462 [23:39] not ATI related though [23:39] hello all i try build debian package , i build it before correctly but i was try something and delete everything when i start build it again i get this error http://rafb.net/p/GvFwE581.html can anyone help me fix thix ? [23:39] kenro: I am choosing a new laptop now, and guess what... I wouldn't buy one if it has proprietary drivers only. Fullstop. [23:40] <[FT]Alex> Kumool, you can install linux on pretty much any pc [23:40] <[FT]Alex> vista shouldn't affect it [23:40] can window vista see it or is it blind yet again? [23:40] [FT]Alex: vista doesn't matter, but the fact that it was designed for it means that it might be hard ... [23:40] the partition i mean [23:41] Light-: I don't know how to get to any of my system files [23:41] macrobad: I wasn't aware Broadcom were being shits this goround. And my synaptics cursor pad is so deteriorated the cmds get jumbled. [23:41] Kumool: Vista won't affect, but it might have some specific hardware. [23:41] swatTX: does the LiveCD mount your hard drives? [23:41] Sakkath - check you have the modules psmouse usbcore and uhci_hcd in your kernel modules list. check by typing lsmod in a terminal and searching through or grep them ie lsmod | grep psmouse etc [23:41] <[FT]Alex> that's true, hischild :) I dunno specifics about vista [23:41] danand: Where should I go after cat /proc/asound/modules? [23:41] macrobad: lspci | grep Network 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) [23:42] kenro: ATI + Broadcom = lots of troubles. Imho.. [23:42] Light-: not sure how to tell for sure [23:42] swatTX: i'd go Places>Home, then on the left theres a list of mounted drives [23:43] danand: they are all loaded. [23:43] kenro: I have 06:05.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02), and I haven't renewed it for a long time already. Try installing fresh drivers. [23:43] steven_ - what output did that give you? [23:43] swatTX: eg mine are called sda1, raid0 and raid5, File System and CD ROM 1 [23:44] danand: snd_hda_intel and HDA Intel at 0x9830000.. irq 22 [23:44] Light-: i don't see my hd listed there. only ubuntu (default user on live cd) Desktop, File System, and Trash [23:44] whats in File System? [23:44] thats my linux drive on my PC [23:45] <[FT]Alex> what are you trying to do, swatTX? [23:45] Light-: 20 folders and 2 files. (bin boot cdrom) [23:45] steven_ - type cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio and see if you hear any noise - press ctrl+c to stop that if you do [23:45] ah so its just the LiveCD's filesystem [23:46] do you know the name of your linux drive in /dev? [23:46] nope [23:46] kenro: I don't remember if I had to do anything manually, but perhaps, you would have to. [23:46] because you can try mounting it manually [23:46] macrobad: Last time I had thismuch net driver problems, there were 7 variants to the pcmcia card, 4 being usable under Linux, 2-3 requiring an ugly convoluted hack (ndis et al), and 1 being Windows-only. Guess which one I ended up with? [23:46] kenro: Win? [23:46] [FT]Alex: save my system without having to reinstall [23:47] Sakkath - type sudo cat /dev/input/mice and press return. move your mouse about and see if you get anything turn up on the screen [23:47] Light-: i think it was /dev/hda1 but i don't see it [23:47] macrobad: First one, yes. Second was ndis. [23:47] kenro: I have wlapsta.o fed to ndis-wrapper here. [23:47] danand: will do, thanks [23:47] kenro: It works. Not perfectly, but in most cases. [23:47] what would be a decent file compression app that retarded windows would be able to uncompress? [23:47] swatTX: i'm not entirely linux literate, so if its not showing up there then I have no idea what to do next. Sorry [23:47] <[FT]Alex> 7z? [23:48] Any tool/program to wrap a text file in 80-col format ? [23:48] macrobad: I don't think ndis works for devbranch b43 drivers. [23:48] danand: nothing :( [23:48] <[FT]Alex> swatTX - you should be able to mount your partitions from the livecd. go to places > computer I think [23:49] i'm asking about the ubuntu app :) unzip would be able to unzip a zip file [23:49] kenro: How old is your laptop? [23:49] How do I change an environment variable in the console? Do I use the export command? [23:49] <[FT]Alex> swatTX - failing that you can do it from the partition manager in system > administration [23:49] anyone now how to limit a account for sftp? i just want the user to access my 2 samba drives mnt/fem & mnt/usb [23:49] [FT]Alex: when i do that I see my CD drive and filesystem [23:49] macrobad: Less than a year. Why? [23:49] <||COSTA||> hi... i've got an ACER TRAVELMATE 6291... and I'm having serious problems with the sound.... Could anyone help me? [23:50] <[FT]Alex> swatTX - oh, well try it from system > administration > partition manager. right click on the partition and click "mount this" or whatever [23:50] is there a disk check utility in linux/ubuntu like those in windows? [23:50] danand: I didn't get any sound from that. [23:50] Would anyone in here use Compiz Fusion, and could help me figure out how to get it working, I'm getting the error "Composite Extension not available" when trying to enable visual effects [23:50] my power went out and my pc didn't shutdown properly [23:50] [FT]Alex: partition manager shows my whole HD as unallocated [23:50] iancp: ubuntu checks the disk every 30 times it reboots [23:51] Jack_Sparrow; might you know a good compress app for ubuntu? preferably an format that windows will be able to uncompress [23:51] !p7zip [23:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about p7zip - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:51] bastid_raZor: rar will work fine, you need rar and unrar [23:51] Mambo [23:51] vipi [23:51] okay.. thanks [23:51] kenro: It might have been that drivers for your card are not written/adopted yet, but I doubt no one has managed to do it in such a long term. [23:51] !info P7zip [23:51] how bout when it shutdowns unexpectedly and i'm doing some work [23:51] steven_ - have you had sound working before or is this a fresh install? [23:51] p7zip (source: p7zip): 7zr file archiver with high compression ratio. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.51~dfsg.1-1 (gutsy), package size 304 kB, installed size 900 kB [23:51] <[FT]Alex> swatTX - uh oh :S did you delete your partition table or something? not my area of expertise, I'm afraid [23:51] i like something that i'm executing [23:51] danand: It's a completely fresh install. [23:52] nice..the package name works even better [23:52] thanks soldat [23:52] [FT]Alex: i didn't delete it knowingly... i was just installing ATI drivers [23:52] <||COSTA||> could someone help to configure my laptop sound card... to ubuntu!? [23:52] iancp: you can check your x11 logs and may be a cause of the problem, you could check in /var/log/xorg.log.0 [23:53] Sakkath - also check you have the module ehci_hcd loaded ie lsmod | grep ehci [23:53] kenro: I have BCM4318, one of the nastiest cards, and it works. I have made it work on Gentoo even... So, I suggest you trying to install drivers manually, if automated configuration doesn't work. [23:53] <[FT]Alex> swatTX do you remember what you did before your hard drive disappeared? [23:53] danand: i do [23:54] does anyone here have any expierence gparted? [23:54] soldat: i'm not comfortable with logs, i'm not that good with code [23:54] ||COSTA||, Sounds like you need to recompile alsa please use version 15 not 16.... Good help in #Alsa room as well [23:54] is there something like friendly gui? [23:54] hello [23:54] <[FT]Alex> Izzi I've used it a bit, but I'm not an expert [23:54] and hdparm is it a diskcheck? just wondering [23:54] [FT]Alex: I was uninstalling the restricted drivers and trying to get the defaults back. during removal of the restricted drivers my system locked up and i've never been able to log back in [23:54] macrobad: to be sure, there's a driver in 2.6.22 (maybe 24), but they can't legally distr the firmware. Users hafta hack that, but the Team provides a headstart with fwcutter. Problem is b43 doesn't use microcode. [23:54] !fsck [23:54] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [23:54] alguien habla spanish [23:54] steven_ - if you type aplay -l does your card show up in the list? [23:55] <||COSTA||> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks man! [23:55] np [23:55] thnks ubotu [23:55] danand: what i don't get... appears right in lsusb. the receiver obv. gets power, is lit up. mouse/receiver definitley work [23:55] <[FT]Alex> swatTX what happens when you try to boot from the hard drive? [23:55] * Pelo needs to get geekier friends do he can introduce them to Ubuntu, the gym does isn't the right place [23:55] danand: It just says HDA Generic, doesn't list the Realtek. [23:56] Any tool/program to wrap a text file in 80-col format ? [23:56] [FT]Alex: it boots straight to a shell initramfs prompt [23:56] steven_ - and what is the output of asoundconf -l again? [23:56] phoenix24, can't you do this in OOo ? [23:57] how do i change what kernal i use ? [23:57] phoenix24: you could do it with bash [23:57] <[FT]Alex> swatTX oh, so linux is still there? did you try startx? [23:57] steven_ - sorry asoundconf list [23:57] cjones, I guess you would install the new kernel image, make a couple of edit to grub and then boot the new kernel [23:57] Sakkath - does you mouse work using the live cd? [23:57] bruenig: please explain how [23:57] [FT]Alex: I don't think that's an option. the commands are limited at the initramfs prompt [23:57] danand: Name of available, then Intel. [23:57] phoenix24: it would be complex though, basically using read and parameter expansion [23:57] pelo i just want to switch from generic to low latancey [23:58] hey all [23:58] substring expansion [23:58] steven_ - you just have an onboard intel card correct? [23:58] Pelo: I need it for batch processing! [23:58] danand: this is the livecd. i'm trying to install it [23:58] kenro: If I correctly understand you, noone has managed to tame your card so far? [23:58] cjones, in synaptic , search for kernel images see what is availabe, check the low latency one to install , grub should be updated automaticaly, restart and pick the low latency one from grub [23:58] danand: It's an HDA Realtek onboard card. [23:59] phoenix24: so if a line had 85 characters, the first 80 would go on one line, then the next 5 on the other line and then a new line would start after that right? [23:59] macrobad: Far as I know, no. [23:59] pelo thanks [23:59] phoenix24, I might have had a different notion of what 80-col meant [23:59] pelo so if i know winch one i wanted i could also apt-get it ? [23:59] bruenig: yes! [23:59] hey whats the story on running 32 bit windows in a vm on a 64 bit *buntu install [23:59] cjones, yep
