[00:00] !flash | ut2004player [00:00] just not sure how much I can explain in a 1hr presentation [00:00] LjL: i have but that wont let me use the compiz effects [00:00] ut2004player: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:00] snypzz: Then move the mouse around [00:00] !java | ut2004player [00:00] bradley__, what model of card?

That determines how you go about it. [00:00] as i said...ive been using windows a while..so all i could think of was the applications windows uses as its gnome [00:00] zcat[1]: it depends on your target audience no? [00:00] its calles explorer.exe :P [00:00] johan: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Advanced_Desktop_Effects_.28Compiz_Fusion.29 [00:00] LjL: a mobility radoen X1400 [00:00] called* [00:01] ArthurArchnix: lmao, thats an important step #1 [00:01] ArthurArchnix, ah sorry, i missed the /ATI at the end. [00:01] ok..ill check that out..later guys [00:01] target audience is a bunch of 60+ windows users :) [00:01] hehe [00:01] y'all aware of that im using intel gma 950...no problems with that? [00:01] johan: the basics - http://compiz.org/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide [00:01] zcat[1]: then kis [00:01] zcat[1]: Ah...Mother-in-Law audience then Good Luck :( [00:01] Odd--rationale: I have 4 desktops on my pannel [00:01] zcat[1], so you need doors :) [00:02] well ... anyone got an idea how to get /dev/fb* stuff working in gutsy? [00:02] ive got 2 sites to check..wich one will suit my problems first? [00:02] zcat[1], :) also you gotta watch out for the 'task focuesd' people, then the 'tool focused' people :) some people just want to get the job done.. other want to learn a skill. [00:02] Odd--rationale: should I set it to one [00:02] snypzz: no [00:02] LjL so what do i do? [00:02] zcat[1]: KRISS (Keep it REAL Simple Stupid) [00:02] Can someone help me figure out why (K)Ubuntu doesn't recognize my CD/DVD drive? see output of cdrecord -scanbus http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58993/ . IDE CD/DVD drive. Running the two commands suggested in the pastebin produce similar results. [00:02] Hey DASPRiD any chance of expanding tremstats to do urban terror as well? [00:02] should be possible yes [00:02] bradley__: Type this in a terminal lspci | grep ATI does anything show up? [00:02] * apo_ growls at resize2fs [00:02] Finish! >< [00:02] the logfiles are pretty similar [00:02] zcat[1]: see i know you are not stupid [00:03] zcat[1] its both quake 3 ;) [00:03] ArthurArchnix: one sec [00:03] do anyone known any settings to dnsmasq not erase cache dns when reboot system? [00:03] http://pastebin.org/23014 anyone seen an obvious reason that's breaking? [00:03] readonly it :) [00:03] DASPRiD: you need to rewrite it to be q3stats and put everything else in the config, then we could use it for trem, urt, WoP .. [00:03] wtf..now the computer is doing it again...the "minimize, maximize, shutdown" buttons dissppeared:O [00:03] zcat[1], afaik it's enough to change the frontend's icons (MOD_*) and change the regex in the parser [00:04] bradley__, what that page explains *is* how to install the driver using the Restricted Manager. it also has a section about installing the ati.com driver, but i discourage that. [00:04] jrib: weblink pasted in classroom [00:04] johan: on a terminal/command type emerald --replace & [00:04] ArthurArchnix: yes it says 01:00.9 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radoen Mobility X1400 [00:04] johan: if that doesnt work install emerald via sudo apt-get install emerald and johan did you read the guide I sent you? [00:04] DASPRiD: beyond my abilities. But if you want to do it there's a bunch of urban terror servers that would use it [00:04] zcat[1]: nah, tremstats is too special to simplify it [00:04] is there an applet for word of the day? [00:04] bradley__: Super. That brings us to pre-requisite step four. Why do you need this driver? [00:05] im gonna read it now [00:05] thanks :P brb [00:05] LjL: i know but i need to get the latest one to use Compiz.... well ill just tell u the prob... i just need to run compiz === RoAkSoAx is now known as ^4nDr3s [00:05] ArthurArchnix: to run compiz effects [00:05] wtf...now it dissapperad again..when i typed in here [00:05] i used the "emerald --replace &" [00:05] maybe im just retard... [00:05] bradley__: ok. And the fact that you could get me the lspci output says you have a basic command of the linux terminal. Let's move on as we seem to have met all the pre-requisites. [00:05] johan: to get back to your normal sustem, use metacity --replace & === ^4nDr3s is now known as RoAkSoAx [00:05] johan, and did you close the terminal>? and they vanished? [00:06] johan: do that, then real the guide she sent you ;) [00:06] bradley__, if compiz doesn't work with the standard driver, it means it's not supposed by ubuntu with your card. if you really insist on running it, at your own risk (i don't see why you'd *need* to run it), then try asking in #compiz-fusion [00:06] where is the swap partition in /dev/mapper/ defined? [00:06] yeah [00:06] OK how do I install the development headers for jack? [00:06] johan: read* [00:06] if the shutdown and restart buttons disappeared, what did I do? [00:06] do i got to have the terminal open? [00:06] does anyone know how to broadcast RTMP out? [00:06] johan: you're NOT a retard, you just need to follow the instructions on the guide. If you do nothing, nothing will happen ^_^;; [00:06] johan, do NOT NOT NOT use the close button. use the 'exit' command [00:06] beautifulsnow, sounds logical [00:06] ^_° [00:06] bradley__: Are you using xubuntu, kubuntu, or ubuntu [00:06] ohh..ok...hahah :P whats the exit command? [00:06] johan, close button is killing the processes you started with & [00:07] LjL: i dont "need" to... but that is the entire reason for me even getting Ubuntu [00:07] johan: yes, run "metacity --replace &" in a terminal to return to basic ubuntu [00:07] johan, repeat 3 times fast - "i am sofa king we todd did" the results will tell [00:07] exit is the proper way to close the terminal. :) [00:07] haha Dr_Willis I didnt know that :P Now I dont have to keep the terminal open to keep running my stuff ;) [00:07] ArthurArchnix: ubuntu [00:07] does NOBODY of the 400 users here know about /dev/mapper? :/ [00:07] sry for holding u guys up..and YES i am going to read the site :P [00:07] johan: then ead the guides :) [00:07] DIL_: youre so mean >_> [00:07] beautifulsnow, BASH basics wins again! :) [00:07] DASPRiD, you presume that even 10% of those 400 people are actually watching :p [00:07] johan, quite juvenile yes [00:07] cwillu, i do :> [00:07] if you REALLY want to use the close button, You could use the nohup command. [00:07] i think [00:07] cwillu, so, you dont know about it? ^^ [00:08] b4 i go..hats the exit command? :P [00:08] DASPRiD, I think it's to do with lvm [00:08] bradley__: Ok, so do this in a terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager [00:08] Can someone help me figure out why (K)Ubuntu doesn't recognize my CD/DVD drive? see output of cdrecord -scanbus http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58993/ . IDE CD/DVD drive. Running the two commands suggested in the pastebin produce similar results. [00:08] Dr_Willis: or screen [00:08] cwillu, thats true [00:08] give me a sec though, I'll check [00:08] ArthurArchnix: okay one sec [00:08] bruenig, i have some issues with screen at times. :) [00:08] and with luks [00:08] hmm [00:08] what issues? [00:08] No one seems to be at #vbox so I will ask here :P I try to mount a share with vboxsf and mount tells me it doesnt know vboxsf, any clue what the bunny is happening? :P [00:08] DASPRiD, what do you need to know about it? [00:09] cwillu, well, i did a ubuntu-server install, with crypted lvm [00:09] @ someone...do i use feisty? v 7.1? [00:09] i mean..i use 7.1..is that feisty? [00:09] but i dont know if the swap in /dev/mapper is a crypted one or not [00:09] johan: why would you do that [00:09] johan, 7.10 [00:09] johan: 7.10 is gutsy [00:09] Dr_Willis, both "exit" and the close buttons will kill & processes unless they were started with nohup/screen... [00:09] ArthurArchnix: can we go to a room, so we dont have to see all the trafic #atidriver [00:09] johan, (i.e., ten, not one zero) [00:09] johan, 7.04 = april of 2007, 7.10 = october of 2007 [00:10] http://compiz.org/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide it doesnt say anything about gutsy there [00:10] johan, it's already installed [00:10] bradley__: I'm not that kind of guy/girl. We should stay here in case you have problems I don't know how to solve. Then you don't need to re-explain it. [00:10] johan: compiz is installed in gutsy [00:10] yeah..but why does it get all retarded when i use the sudo compiz command? [00:10] cwillu, dont ignore meh :P [00:11] i can't move forward/backward in either totem or mplayer with a .mov file. is there a fix? [00:11] beautifullsnow: you sure you're using the right syntax? [00:11] johan: youre not supposed to sudo it [00:11] ArthurArchnix: ok... so when i typed that it tells me that there is nothing in E or something [00:11] DASPRiD, one sec [00:11] bradley__: That is a non-standard error message. [00:11] johan: you're not supposed to run it manually, for starters. it should be there in System / Preferences / Desktop Effects, if it's supported by your card. [00:11] ok...but..we got that figured that out..ive got gutsy 7.10 apperantly i got compiz...then what? [00:12] johan: compiz --replace enables compiz. or go to preferences->appearance [00:12] Hi.. [00:12] LjL, ive not seen exit Kill things spawned with & [00:12] ArthurArchnix: E: Couldnt find pacgx-restricted-modules-generic [00:12] i downloaded something called compizconfig settings manager [00:12] johan: are your graphics drivers installed? [00:12] yes johan go to command line and type ccsm & [00:12] johan: you can access that thru preferences->appearance or by typing: ccsm [00:12] cant see anything else called compiz in system preferences [00:12] bradley__: Did you copy and paste the command I gave you or retype it? [00:12] where do i get drivers for intel gma 950 ? [00:12] gibt es jemand auf deutschunterhalten kann ? [00:13] beautifulsnow: hey [00:13] cwillu, how long is a second in your timeframe? :> [00:13] hey ThaRabbit [00:13] johan: it's called "extra desktop effects" or something like that [00:13] johan: thats probably your problem, that chipset is flaky under ubuntu czuz its so new. [00:13] beautifulsnow: it could be that the vboxsf kernell module isn't loaded [00:13] !de | dj_ [00:13] Dr_Willis: we have the same buggy behavior then, ill open a bug report [00:13] dj_: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [00:13] DASPRiD, long enough to finish talking to the other guy in another channel :p [00:13] its a diffrent computer so i retyped [00:13] mmmm ThaRabbit let me check that ^_^ thanks [00:13] DASPRiD, 2 minutes :p [00:13] Odd-rationale: you there [00:13] is there a full internet install for bt? so i dont have to use the Live CD? [00:13] demosh, go for it. :) heh.. Ive been filing bugs on hardy all week.. but none are imporntant. [00:13] beautifulsnow: try modprobe vboxsf, then try the mounting again [00:13] i got it all in swedish..so if anyone speaks that language, it might go faster :P [00:13] ArthurArchnix: its a diffrent computer so i retyped [00:13] cwillu, tempus fugit [00:14] I get this: "configure: error: Could not find jack/jack.h Install jack headers to build oddcast" how do I install the jack development headers for my configure to work?

[00:14] bradley__: Ok, well in a terminal press the up key until you see the command you type, then read it over carefully and look for spelling mistakes between what I typed, and what you typed. [00:14] thanks LjL [00:14] PolishOX: all of them since Gutsy. [00:15] beautifulsnow: no problem, I'm working on the same problem right now! :) [00:15] thanks! [00:15] ty LjL [00:15] i think im cracking up...omg... [00:15] haha :P [00:15] DASPRiD, I _think_ that whatever shows up in /dev/mapper is the product of whatever lvm does. if the encryption is internal (plugin or otherwise) to lvm, then I'd expect that those devices are encrypted [00:15] bradley__, system...admin... software-sources and enable all add'l sources it does have internet access correct? [00:16] cwillu, well, root (/) is defined in /etc/crypttab [00:16] johan: not 965, is it?

[00:23] IndyGunFreak: i've seen it happen so often that yea, it does make me nervous. i hadnt seen that you guys had already pointed them to the #ubuntu-br channel. so in this case i guess i was wrong. [00:23] bradley do the dates and times match? [00:23] IndyGunFreak: do you know the solution? [00:23] ArthurArchnix, I told him to enable the add'l repos [00:23] * drc hands everybody a glass of Brahma and says "Drink Up...Cool Down" :) [00:23] Agora vo sai daqui vo fica no de lá [00:24] Obriga pela ajuda [00:24] mynyml: ok, youve seen it happen so often but bottom line, it dind't happen this time, so who needsd to relax?\ [00:24] priscila: nada [00:24] pen, should you restore a backup rather that copy and paste [00:24] what program is good to develpod website? something Dreamweaver [00:24] RedHeron: how does that let me pass a username parameter to NFS?

If not did you enable them and re-run the command he gave you [00:28] mohamed_: I also. The only issue is the fgrlx accelerated driver , it sucks still. [00:28] Temptant: you mena like flash video? [00:28] bradley I don't know what these commands do though, so maybe ask someone else if you're concered. Or go have a look around the forums yourself. Anyway, some people say this will fix it. Type "sudo -K", then "sudo hwclock -w" without quotes. Then try the sudo apt-get update command. Then try the sudo apt-get install command.

[01:27] IndyGunFreak, the faq explained installing one package and adding one line [01:27] it wasnt that hard [01:27] i did it in 2 minutes [01:28] giorgos, after installing that, add this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: options snd-hda-intel model=acer to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [01:28] bah [01:28] options snd-hda-intel model=acer [01:28] and then reboot [01:28] hey guys, how do I change my updates/installs to unstable like I would in Debian? [01:28] I need to download bleeding egde stuff [01:28] synaptic doesn't open... what to do...? [01:28] and gutsy is not doing it [01:28] I need sshfs 1.9 and it's grabbing 1.7 [01:29] Taso: do you want to upgrade to hardy or just install one package? [01:29] both [01:29] Taso, there's a backports repository you can enable, although it's better to just pick and choose packages from it [01:29] !bacjoirts [01:29] How should I know? [01:29] !backports [01:29] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [01:29] does gedit have some sort of Vi-mode?

[01:29] Taso, don't upgrade to hardy [01:29] is there a way to set the global HTTP_PROXY variable from a script? [01:29] why? [01:29] Taso Hardy is ALPHA [01:29] macogw, don't tell people to upgrade to hardy :p [01:29] cwillu: he asked! [01:30] Taso Hardy is not ready for public release yet, it is in testing mode still [01:30] okay, so.... what if I want just one package from hardy ? [01:30] Hm, does anyone here have experience with pam_mount? It mount the home directory, but the owner is set to root:root... [01:30] cwillu: and if he's used to Sid, he can handle Hardy [01:30] macogw, no, he asked about bleeding edge packages :p [01:30] mounts* [01:30] be back after the reboot [01:30] okay, so.... what if I want just one package from hardy ? [01:30] cwillu: he asked how to change his repos to unstable like with Debian...which would be using Sid [01:30] time will tell cwillu [01:30] Taso: Enable Backports in Software Sources [01:30] . ?/etc/apt/source.list ? [01:30] Taso: go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ and download the deb you want [01:30] Taso, backports (what ubotwo went on about) is what you want, they're packages from hardy that are tweaked to work with gutsy [01:30] synaptic doesn't open... what to do...? [01:30] Haldo..Every time I press record in sound recorder, the window freezes. Any ideas why? [01:30] Hi...

[01:31] you guys are giving me 12 different answers [01:31] have anyone here installed crsds ? [01:31] have you noticed this? [01:31] I still do not have a simple ansewr. [01:31] Taso: What you are looking for is Backports. [01:31] so do all of them [01:31] alright [01:32] Taso: backports has a few select packages compiled for gutsy. not all of hardy's though [01:32] and figure out which is easier for you [01:32] Taso: Backports enable you to install the NEWEST version of software [01:32] Taso: if it's there, you can use that. otherwise, you can download the deb from where i linked [01:32] so how do I switch my /etc/apt/source.list ? [01:32] synaptic doesn't open... what to do...? [01:32] should I just change the word "gutsy" to backport/hardy ? [01:32] Taso: if you do that, youd upgrae to hardy. they said i shouldnt tell you to go to hardy. [01:32] IndyGunFreak, ya, it's a bit intimidating actually (it's got about 8 different approaches, but it did have his laptop lsited) [01:32] geo125 - what does it complain about? [01:32] Taso: no [01:32] What in god's name does this mean : http://pastebin.com/m7822ccaa [01:32] Taso we are giving you different answers however they do the same thing. We are giving the answer "the way we would do it". You pick one [01:32] Taso: i figure if you can handle Sid, you can handle Hardy just fine [01:32] Taso: pastebin your current /etc/apt/sources.list [01:32] Is there a backport for Compiz-Fusion...? [01:33] !sources [01:33] cwillu: yeah, i think i was gonna send him the same FAQ.. i was just doing 4 different things [01:33] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[01:33] Taso: yes [01:33] I will try that [01:33] Taso: Sid is in constant evolution [01:33] Taso: Sid is Debian Unstable's name [01:33] Ugh. [01:33] ah great [01:33] perfect [01:33] I will try that [01:33] macogw, Isnt Hardy about to go stable? [01:33] Taso: no.... [01:33] Taso: Sid has nothing to do with Ubuntu, however [01:33] Darkmystere: it's alpha 6 [01:33] Darkmystere, some time in April. [01:33] Darkmystere: but yeah, 1 month [01:34] nope [01:34] that didn't work [01:34] Hi...

But I right click and it doesn't give me the resize option.. I can only resize the sawp partition:( Help? [01:34] Can I boot from an Un-burned ISO in virtualbox? [01:34] I changed the word gutsy to stable and now it can't find the package [01:34] macogw, Yea isnt that the last alpha...so if i upgrade no0w...do i need to upgrade again to get the stable one or what.. [01:34] any can help me with my broadcom 4311 ??? [01:34] RequinB4: yes [01:34] RequinB4, #virtualbox, but as far as I know you can [01:34] #virtualbox [01:34] bah [01:34] Taso, and who told you that the word "stable" meant anything in the sources.list? [01:34] :p!!!! [01:34] sweet, hopefully its simple to do or i'll come back and ask how [01:34] RequinB4_: that an other aplication use packages but nothing else do it [01:35] geo125 - close all instances of synaptic or add/remove or update manager [01:35] mauro_rioiv, afaik, alot of broadcom cards still have major issues in the gutsy [01:35] alright [01:35] well I have no clue how to do any of this shit [01:35] amazing [01:35] I will just go Google [01:35] !language | Taso [01:35] :x [01:35] Taso: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

Ubuntu's current unstable is Hardy. You can install a package from Hardy without upgrading to it if you don't want to be running unstable (because that can involve lots of hair-pulling if you know what you're doing, and more if you don't). If you want to ride the unstable edge, you can, but it'd be easier to just install the one package. You might be able to get the package from backports. If you can't, you can g [01:35] lol [01:35] ljl wouldn't "stable" and "testing" be debian archive descriptors ?

Or did you just remove the theme by selecting a new one? [02:02] Are their any linux SecondLife users here?

Welcome! [02:03] anteaya: then do it again [02:03] RequinB4: I think he's looking for support, not start a random chat :p [02:03] ubotwo: why are you always shooting me down [02:03] I suppose it strains the imagination to suppose a question was coming up, eh, RequinB4? [02:03] in that case, [02:03] !ask [02:03] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:03] usser: i am hestiant, because i am on dial up and in the middle of about 5 hours of update downloads [02:04] xb3rt: eh, it's nice to see that someone other than me has people acting like total jerks toward him [02:04] regeya Mimi - ok fine, my bad, but either way you get some kind of !, ask the actual question, not the generic one :P [02:04] xb3rt because someone says !something | you and the bot reacts. [02:04] usser: i can try tomorrow though, thanks [02:04] something [02:04] !something [02:04] How should I know?

[02:06] regeya, i'm *so* tempted to do !offtopic | regeya requinb4 [02:06] <[Soul]> thanks to all who have helped me - i finally got everything set [02:07] Why does my sl client make the screen flash black when i click something, and freeze if i try to move [02:07] LjL whatever makes you feel important [02:07] does anyone know of a emerald theme that does not look anything like windows? [02:07] dark [02:07] i have a dual monitor setup and i'm running compiz-fusion, on my second monitor i have to open up termial and type "emerald --replace &" everytime a fresh X session is started...is there some way to automate the process? [02:07] regeya: too many questions in here are FAQ though ... the bot has the answer. End of problem. [02:07] darkcrab: gnome-look.org should have lots? [02:07] yes Mimi? [02:07] yea, I looked there.... [02:07] I can can try looking again I guess. [02:07] Mimi: can I IM you for a minute [02:08] regeya: if they come back and say 'tried that, failed at...' then we help them more [02:08] combatwombat, /etc/rc.local is a script that loads everytime you log on.. mabey add a line into that file [02:08] Yes go ahead xb3rt [02:08] thanks sfears! [02:08] How do i install tk 8.5 [02:09] Mimi: are you getting my messages? [02:09] Mmmmmm GParted is taking *looks at watch* 10 minutes to resize my partition (It's still at 1% kinda haha) ... Should I be concerned? Obviously I won't cancel because it could damage the partition.... [02:09] I have decided there is no way I can describe the history and archetecture of the internet to housewives and grannies in a 1hr presentation. [02:09] i have a problem in adept_manager. there is a package that i tried to install before and now everytime i try to install something i get some errors can anyone tell me please how to clear adept_manager so it doesnt try any time to install those packages. thank you in advance [02:09] xb3rt: Guess not :/ I just sent you a "hello" [02:09] Mimi - no, gparted should take a decent while, so long as you're sure its not hanging [02:09] sfears_ umm did i miss something ? does /etc/rc.local really run each time you logon ? or only at boot time ? [02:10] Has anyone been able to install Gutsy Gibbon onto an Abit IP35 Pro with an nVidia GFX card? o.O [02:10] !anyone [02:10] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:10] how do i set all usb drives to mount as readable / writeable when i plug them in? [02:10] rc.local has something to do with run levels.. i was assuming it was at logon [02:10] Marfi: that happens by default [02:10] sfears_ boot time. [02:10] PriceChild, how do i change it? it doesn't do that on my other computer [02:10] run level 5 which i believe is at the very end of boot [02:10] i cant make gnome-do plugins to work can somebody help me? [02:11] PriceChild, its also ext2, which i formatted on this computer [02:11] sfears_ ubuntu defaults to runlevel 2 [02:11] anyone that can help me please. i am getting mad :S [02:11] snake ask your question xD [02:11] Marfi: sudo chmod -R a+rwx /media/mountedusbdrive [02:11] I'm totally new to Ubuntu and I'm trying to install it but without success... I just get the black screen of death and a hard reboot is the only way to bring my PC back [02:11] hey I want to remove a certain line from a text file - how would I do that with a command? [02:11] is the answer to snake's question dpkg -a clean ish.. something like that [02:11] I know the line's row [02:11] Mimi: i have a problem in adept_manager. there is a package that i tried to install before and now everytime i try to install something i get some errors can anyone tell me please how to clear adept_manager so it doesnt try any time to install those packages. thank you in advance [02:11] snake: giving the error would help people help you [02:12] xb3rt: I think your nick is not registered + identified, you can't IM me if you're not [02:12] Hazard - first, where does this occur in the boot sequence? [02:12] i think adding that line to the rc.local file will fix the problem with compiz [02:12] zcat[1], do i have to do that each time i mount the drive? [02:12] hey sfears, i tried adding "emerald --replace &" in my /etc/rc.local (without the quotes), i restarted my x but to no avail... [02:12] PriceChild: i said the error 2 times. sorry for flooding [02:12] Bunnies, snake, I had that problem once... *digs her memories to find out the solution* [02:12] Mimi: 1 second [02:12] snake: the error, not the problem [02:12] RequinB4: As soon as I hit "Start Install" or the GFX Safe Install... I get "Loading Kernel" then "Kernel Alive" then black screen [02:12] Marfi: or perhaps sudo chmod a+rwsx /media/mountedusbdrive -- that way ann new files will be +rwx as well [02:12] *all [02:12] it was a thought combatwombat [02:13] PriceChild: there is no error. but i want to get rid of those messages that i get every time in adept_manager === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:13] snake generally speaking, open a terminal and type in# sudo dpkg --configure -a || sudo apt-get install -f || echo "still borked" [02:13] Marfi: only once.. it will change permission on the ext2 filesystem on the drive, they'll stay that way until you change them again [02:13] zcat[1], i tried to chmod 777 /media/drive [02:13] snake: knowing those messages would help... [02:13] maybe add that line to a file.. save as .sh & add it to startup programs? combatwombat [02:13] zcat[1], aight, ty! [02:13] snake needs to run dpkg clean [02:13] HaZaRd - so you don't see an ubuntu logo beforehand? [02:13] i just can't remember the command [02:14] How do i install tk 8.5 [02:14] !google install tk 8.5 [02:14] sfears_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:14] RequinB4: I get the menu, but anything I select gets me to the black screen [02:14] sfears_ >>> snake generally speaking, open a terminal and type in# sudo dpkg --configure -a || sudo apt-get install -f || echo "still borked" [02:14] anyone in here use uck or reconstructor ? [02:14] sfears_: sudo apt-get install tk8.5 [02:14] LjL: Does not work [02:14] !doesn't work | ePax [02:14] ePax: 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. [02:14] had a friend try to copy a -very- large number of files onto his 4G usb stick recently.. some things fat32 just wasn't designed for :) [02:14] Agent_bob: sfears_ he hasn't even told you the error.. [02:15] Can some one help me with customizing ubuntu? [02:15] yeah.. he said earlier PriceChild [02:15] PriceChild that should catch it [02:15] zcat[1], didn't work =/ [02:15] hello after uninstalling compiz my minimize maximize buttons are gone what can i do? [02:15] Marfi: Hmmm.. should have [02:15] LjL: E: Couldn't find package tk8.5 [02:15] hello after uninstalling compiz my minimize maximize and cross buttons are gone what can i do? [02:15] zcat[1], i know. im gonna try to format it again w/ gparted [02:15] ericbanna12: metacity --replace & [02:15] HaZard - easiest things first - try pressing control + alt + f2 at the black screen [02:15] ok [02:15] ericbanna12: do you have terminal? [02:15] Mimi: i registerd [02:15] ePax: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please [02:15] ericbanna12, sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 [02:15] PriceChild: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59090/ [02:15] PriceChild i have broken dpkg many many times, and; that's the first good steps toward fixing it. [02:15] RequinB4: Tried that already; as well as the CTRL + ALT + F1 [02:16] no dice with either [02:16] ericbanna12: type above what mimi said in terminal yea [02:16] usse i don't know how to minimize xchat to go to manuu [02:16] snake: in a terminal, sudo apt-get -f install [02:16] HaZaRd - are you trying to install or just boot from the liveCD? Because I would suggest using the text-only alternative CD to install, then work from there [02:16] ericbanna12, right click on the taskbar "bar at the bottom of screen" and click on minimize [02:16] ericbanna12: alt+f2 see if you can type it there [02:16] RequinB4: I'm downloading the Alternate CD right now, but from what I gather on the forum, it might not work [02:17] RequinB4: Yeah I'm trying to boot from the liveCD and then hopefully install [02:17] usser crl + f2 not responind and no minimize option when i right click at bottom === Enermax is now known as Kust3mz [02:17] ericbanna12: alt+f2 [02:17] RequinB4: BTW, is there a formatting utility on the disc? Because the drive I want to install to is currently NTFS [02:17] it's alt+f2 [02:18] HaZaRd: Good ones: Qtparted, Gparted [02:18] ok than yopu got everthing back [02:18] HaZaRd, the install cd can resize an ntfs partition, make new ones, etc, although the root partition currently needs to be ext3 or something similar [02:18] PriceChild: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59091/ [02:18] HaZaRd: what Mimi said, but personally i always think its good to have a GParted liveCD [02:18] alt+f2 opens a run box.. type terminal.. and then "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24" [02:18] special thnaks goes to mimi [02:18] nickrud: hi, all seems to have worked but when I try to view the music on the ipod it seems to think there is no music on the device.... strange. [02:18] how would I delete a specific row from a text file? [02:18] RequinB4: Well... that totally went over my head :D [02:18] daedra: can't you just use a text editor? (such as gedit) [02:19] its a VERY large file [02:19] does anyone know how to get it to minimize stuff to the panel (near the clock) instead of the one at the bottom of the screen? [02:19] but I know the rownumber [02:19] ericbanna12: You might want to go to System>Preferences>Session and add that command I gave you to the start up items, so that you don't have to write that command all the time [02:19] Are Qtparted and Gparted on the CD or do I need to get them separately? [02:19] HaZaRd, sorry, which part :D [02:19] eatatjoes2, i'd have to say that's not a standard option [02:19] snake: is 'qmail' a package form the Ubuntu repositories? [02:20] PriceChild: no [02:20] !info qmail [02:20] Package qmail does not exist in gutsy [02:20] Mimi why did compiz slow down my graphics? [02:20] sfears_, because earlier it was putting pidgin and xchat up there but now its not [02:20] snake: contact whoever built that package, its broken. [02:20] LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59092/ [02:20] RequinB4: I'm just unsure of how/where to format the partition... it's already blank, just NTFS not ext3 [02:20] PriceChild: thanks . i'll try it now [02:20] ohhh.. into the task tray [02:20] Can some one help me with customizing ubuntu? [02:20] any help? [02:20] ericbanna12: Mmmm compiz can be really tough on your computer ;) It can use a looooot of resources [02:20] I reckon its "cat" or "sed" but I don't know enough about them [02:21] Is there a good channel to ask questions about dovecot/postfix auth problems? [02:21] snake sudo dpkg -P --force-all qmail ;sudo apt-get install -f [02:21] you have to click on the X to close the window eatatjoes2.. but it doesn't close the application.. just minimize to the task tray.. not all programs do that [02:21] Agent_bob: the packaging is broken, and its 3rd party. [02:21] daedra: sed -i.bak "#d" filename where # is the line number [02:21] PriceChild i read the pastebin [02:21] What's the smallest version of Ubuntu? I mean, low footprint wise? [02:21] LjL: YOU'RE AWESOME [02:21] Mimi how do i install auto matrix 2? [02:22] Were do i go about downloading a program to fix up ubuntu [02:22] yo [02:22] HaZard - Gparted is a program that will do it for you. If your GUI is not working, then you can either a) install ubuntu and boot recovery mode, b) boot a text only boot option of a common liveCD linux distro, or c) use the GParted liveCD, which you can download [02:22] heygab.. i would download the credit card version of debian.. it's not ubuntu, but it's close [02:22] !automatix | ericbanna12 [02:22] ericbanna12: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [02:22] Is there a good channel to ask questions about dovecot/postfix auth problems? === Jack_71 is now known as boyakk [02:23] does anyone here have a sound card with fiber optic out? [02:23] miniTOSlink fiber optic out? [02:23] Agent_bob: dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove qmail which isn't installed. [02:23] DavidVector: there is a #dovecot channel and a #postfix channel but make sure you have read the documentation first or you won't to much help :-) [02:24] usser then how do i install wine [02:24] snake if that's all it said, you are fixed. [02:24] hey guys, question: does FreeNx generate a log file detailing who/when connections to the server were made? If yes, where is this log? [02:24] RequinB4: So I boot the Gparted liveCD and format the partition as ext3? Then try installing with the alternate 7.10 liveCD? [02:24] ericbanna12: follow the instuctions on winehq.com [02:24] Guys when I run USTREAM.TV flash application, the flash works fine, but it keeps saying in the thing 'Gateway unreachable" any fix? [02:24] ok [02:25] sfears_, i figured it out, its the "notification area" [02:25] Can some one help me with customizing ubuntu? [02:25] HaZarD - that's how i'd do it, but be sure to read/have in front of you good documentation when using GParted, you can REALLY screw up your hard drive if you mess up. [02:25] HaZaRd, or you could use the regular cd, and wipe that partition. basically, you just need the space [02:25] have you tried using a different web broswer Temptant to see if it's a browser issue? [02:25] No [02:25] I will [02:25] thanks [02:25] snake may i sujest that you make sure that you only have "ubutnu" repositories in your sources.list and try to use what's there or build it your self. [02:25] yup.. it's a good first step [02:25] Marfi - he can't boot the regular CD [02:25] RequinB4: I've got a laptop here so I can do that... Marfi: I can't get the GUI at all, so I need something else [02:25] I've got a Pentium D machine running 32-bit Gutsy whose memory I just recently upgraded to 4GB. Will I be able to use that full amount of memory by upgrading just the kernel to the 64-bit version, or will I have to change the whole OS to 64-bit? [02:26] why doesn't the regular cd boot? [02:26] does anyone know how to get all the buttons on the logitech mx700 to work? [02:26] RequinB4, HaZaRd gotcha. < 256? [02:26] Agent_bob: i have only ubuntu repos. this problem occured since the time i tried to install something else. i removed those repos but the problem remained [02:26] sfears_ no, thanks. I will try epiphany [02:26] alright Temptant [02:26] sfears_: not sure at this point, i'm thinking either moniter or driver, both of which are only fixable post install [02:26] sfears_: If I knew, I wouldn't be here :) But from what I've heard, it's an incompatibility with either my southbridge (ICH9R) or my gfx card (8800GT) [02:26] I have today's challenge: I am attempting to network a Linux machine to an my XP laptop (I am using a crossover cable). The laptop is picking up the wireless network, and I am trying to share the connection with the Linux machine, but something is wrong...and I don't know what it is...Help? [02:27] Marfi: If you mean RAM, I've got 4GB :P [02:27] snake yeah. did you check synaptic now and see if it's all solved ? [02:27] bthornton, i think your a bit confused about what 64 bit is [02:27] Can someone please tell me were to go to download a program to fix up ubuntu? [02:27] HaZaRd, in a laptop? damn son [02:27] HaZaRd, have you tried booting with the noapic options? [02:27] Marfi: HAHAHA No man... I'm on my laptop right now trying to install GG on my desktop [02:27] sfears_: Unconfuse me. [02:27] sfears_: No idea how to do that... I'm a total Linux novice [02:28] HaZaRd, ah, ok. GIMME GIMME! =) [02:28] :P [02:28] Can someone please tell me were to go to download a program to fix up ubuntu? [02:28] any FreeNx gurus here? [02:28] HaZaRd - look at the bottom of the origional ubuntu CD screen, should be boot options or more options, something to that nature - press that button and enter 'noapic' at the end [02:28] Kust3mz: what do you 'really' want to do? [02:28] 64 bit compared to 32 bit has to do with how it processes information.. doesn't have anything to do with the size of your harddrive.. i'm not 100% on the whole thing but i know it doesn't make a difference about a 4gb hard drive4 [02:29] HaZaRd - but i doubt i'tll work, considering your gfs probably causes it - 8800GT [02:29] So right now I'm grabbing the Gparted LiveCD and I've got the AltCD and the straight up GG liveCD... where do I go from here?> [02:29] Kust3mz, i think you need to be a little more specific than that [02:29] RequinB4: Yeah that's what I've heard =( [02:29] sfears_: I think he meant memory not disk space [02:29] Kust3mz, err.. its kinda like asking for a metal thing for a car O_o [02:29] alright, i guess i'll just ask away. When trying to boot from a CD to do a reinstall, i get I/O and HDD errors, when booting the live CD image from a separate partition, i get MORE I/O errors, and i have no idea how to fix this. [02:29] sfears_: You're correct that the hard drive size doesn't come into it, but it was my memory/RAM that I upgraded to 4GB. :) [02:30] !pm | Kust3mz [02:30] ha.. my bad [02:30] Currently, Linux is only recognizing 3.2GB of it. [02:30] Kust3mz: try gnome-look.org [02:30] Kust3mz: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [02:30] Agent_bob: i did something else. i added the repository that had qmail. i removed qmail and some other packages that were there and i removed the repository again. now everything is ok. thank you [02:30] have you tried burning a new CD lurp? [02:30] PriceChild: thank you. i solved the problem [02:30] Well im new to ubuntu and really have no ideal what im talking about but, I mean like a program for themes and stuff [02:30] snake welcome. [02:30] Will 32 bit apps install on 64 bit Ubuntu? [02:30] just to let everybody know, i love ubuntu [02:30] fxef: yes sure [02:30] lol spork [02:31] fxef: some of them with some quirks but they will [02:31] i think your looking for compiz-fusion Kust3mz.. doens't always work 100% out of the box.. but it's cool once you get it working [02:31] HaZard - what we're doing now is ENABLING you to get into a position you can fix it. Also, note that if the GParted liveCD won't boot (It didn't for my desktop), plan b is to download DSL or Knoppix and boot from the CD with just a text prompt - they contain a text version of gparted :) [02:31] hmm,i disabled all internet repos,and insert hardy cd iso,now it began automatically upgrade,now at setting software channels ,hope nothing is wrong [02:31] * darkcrab loves compiz-fusion [02:31] Kust3mz, Google can be quite handy http://www.google.ie/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=ubuntu+themes&btnG=Google+Search&meta= [02:31] I am attempting to network a Linux machine to an my XP laptop (I am using a crossover cable). The laptop is picking up the wireless network, and I am trying to share the connection with the Linux machine, but something is wrong...and I don't know what it is...Help? [02:32] Guys when I run USTREAM.TV flash application, the flash works fine, but it keeps saying in the thing 'Gateway unreachable" any fix? [02:32] yeah.. compiz is nice when it works right [02:32] Yes I've tried more than one browser [02:32] What about KDE for ubuntu? [02:32] darkcrab: would, but i can't. my burner isn't operational in ubuntu for some reason. I had accidentally upgraded to Hardy (don't ask how, somehow the repository got added to my sources.list) [02:32] i guess you had the same error with a different web browser Temptant? [02:32] but i think it may have to do with my attempt at installing KDE4 [02:32] I tried Firefox and Epiphany [02:32] Chrisbster may need to tell the linux box what the gateway ip is [02:32] how do i change the defaul tview type for folder globally, i want it to be a list [02:32] Kust3mz, also refer to google and read there.. we are reserved for real technical support here [02:33] Ok sorry all [02:33] yup, that would be it Lurp [02:33] hi [02:33] Has anyone else had any trouble running Nexuiz on Ubuntu when downloading it directly from the Nexuiz site? [02:33] Agent Bob: It says it's connected to the network [02:33] i havn't bee overly impressed with KDE4.. i like compiz for gnome [02:33] !offtopic | sfears_ [02:33] sfears_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:33] hello chris__ [02:33] i got Nexuiz off of te repositories and it was fine [02:33] compiz-fusion is amazing. [02:33] Chrisbster no not just the network. the gateway. i.e. the box that it will have to access to reach the world. [02:33] darkcrab: DAMN kde4. well like i said, i've tried booting from a separate partition, and i get errors from that and from the CD. Any ideas on how to do a reinstall? [02:34] hi [02:34] Lurp, can you access the internet? [02:34] Hey guys: I keep getting "gateway unreachable" when I try to open ustream.tv live broudcast (flash). It all looks fine, except i'm getting this error in the little console they give you [02:34] is anyone else a GNU Screen user? [02:34] anybody here use firestarter? [02:34] I've tried Firefox and Epiphany for browsers [02:34] oh wait, you can burn anything. [02:34] darkcrab: Haha yeah, i'm on my messed up system right now [02:34] Agent Bob: How do I do this? [02:34] yeah [02:34] hey [02:34] chris__, yeah, I initially downloaded 2.3 from their site and had a problem with the FPS dropping and losing sound part of the way through the game. I downloaded the version from the repos and there were no problems. Now, with 2.4, it's not in the repos yet and the direct download does the same thing that 2.3 did. [02:34] hello bashir [02:35] !ask needs to be put in topic ;p [02:35] what a really good and accurate cpu temperature monitor [02:35] Mimi: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:35] Chrisbster assuming ip=192.168.0.1 sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 but i think that gnome has a gui way to get there. [02:35] Do you have a friend with a CD burner? [02:35] RequinB4: Hmm... alrighty thanks I'm gonna go give GParted and the AltCD a shot right now [02:35] i need to make sure this new system i built isnt going to melt on me [02:35] hello when i am trying to run a file with wine it's saying "a channel that is needed for this project was not found in the installation path :..." [02:35] Oh, I havent tried it recently. I had FPS problems too, but im on Intel Integrated graphic and I figured that was my problem. My computer is pretty slow [02:35] bashir: CoreTemp [02:35] mabey a usb drive & USB compatible BIOS [02:35] darkcrab: yeah, should i try burning the alternate CD and see if that works? [02:35] Hey guys: I keep getting "gateway unreachable" when I try to open ustream.tv live broudcast (flash). It all looks fine, except i'm getting this error in the little console they give you [02:35] I've tried Firefox and Epiphany for browsers [02:35] HaZaRd - good luck! I had to figure out a similar problem on my own, i'm happy to try and get that working -.- [02:35] thanks [02:36] well, also what you can do is download a free partitioner that lets you boot from CD [02:36] that might be an issue on the server end Temptant [02:36] and the format your drive. [02:36] chris__, it's some kind of bug that only shows up in the non-repo version.. not sure why [02:36] <[dcr]> GParted = FTW :D [02:36] darkcrab:such as? [02:36] Chrisbster network manager maybe. i really have no idea what it is in gnome. i don't like nor use gnome. i don't normally use any gui. [02:36] I dont know off hand, but you can google it. [02:36] RB2: Oh ok. Im not sure then [02:36] sfears_, maybe, but my friend's got it working finer [02:36] fine* [02:36] RequinB4: Whoa man... GParted is massively confusing... mind lending a hand? :$ [02:36] have you turned off all your firewalls or set up correct port forwarding? [02:37] <[dcr]> Does anyone know if (and if so where) theres a plugin for Compiz that allows you to zoom out on your cube? [02:37] hmm:well i tried using gparted, made a separate partition, loaded the ISO onto that via ubuntu.com instructions, and i still get errors. [02:37] I have a install of Ubuntu Studio and I am installing Kubuntu on ANOTHER partition on the same hard drive. Will the new grub recognize Studio and add it to the grub list? [02:37] sfears_, how? [02:37] coretemp is not in the repos... [02:37] how do i change the defaul tview type for folder globally, i want it to be a list [02:37] Mimi, yes [02:37] Mimi: it should [02:37] Thanks ^_^ [02:37] HaZaRd - To be honest, no :(, but i'd say be conservative and cautius with that thing - google for the manual [02:37] sfears_, do you think this thing needs to be pf'd? [02:37] coretemp website only has windblows [02:37] not sure what the correct settings are Temptant.. first make sure any firewalls are turned off.. i'm not sure what they would be called [02:37] bashir: HAHA oops... CoreTemp is for Windows... I dunno about for Ubuntu [02:38] Lurp, try this, start up your CD, and then click install, but instead of installing, click "check CD for errors" [02:38] I just donno how to turn the firewalls off [02:38] if it says its fine, then you know its probably your drive. [02:38] darkcrab: already tried that, reported no errors [02:38] i don't even know what it is your working with Temptant.. but an unreachable gateway sounds like some kind of TCP/IP issue [02:38] In the router? [02:38] thats ok hazard thanks anyway [02:38] !package lm-sensors | bashir [02:38] Paddy_EIRE: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:38] hmm [02:38] and TCP/IP issue is usually firewall'ish related [02:38] [dcr], do you have the plugin to zoom in your desktop installed? [02:38] error? [02:39] Paddy_EIRE substitute bot today. not as smart. [02:39] is there a GUI diagnostic tool for hardisks? [02:39] but i don't understand how both my drives can get effed up from ubuntu/KDE4 [02:39] well, you could also try Knoppix. I know Knoppix has a lot of tools to help in these cases. [02:39] is tehre any other program that works better than wine? [02:39] that's true [02:39] <[dcr]> Tor33: I dont, I am now curious if thats the plugin I need... [02:39] btw hazard is coretemp really accurate in windows? more than other apps? becasue once i tried in windows and different apps gave me different reads [02:39] hey, I need a good VoIP application to chat with my GF. I'm on Ubuntu Gutsy, she's on WinXP. Any suggestions? [02:39] i doubt there's a better one for free ericbanna12 [02:39] ericbanna12: Better than wine? What application are you trying to run? [02:39] welll, could have created tons of bad sectors and stuff I guess. [02:39] <_Oz___> hello all, I just got done building out a new system... it's a core 2 extreme (qx9650) w/ 780i mobo, 4gb RAM, and dual nVidia GeForce 8800GTXs [02:39] Agent_bob, ah.. I see [02:39] bashir: yeah for me CoreTemp is the most accurate I've encountered using both AMD and Intel chips [02:39] <_Oz___> can I use this with ubuntu? [02:39] [dcr], do you have the compizconfig settings manager? [02:39] Mimi a game [02:39] cpu temp use conky [02:39] bashir, 1 sec I'll get you the wiki [02:40] <[dcr]> Tor33: i do [02:40] Agent Bob: That didn't help...any other ideas? [02:40] HorizonXP: skype? [02:40] it is kinda hard to believe though, but I am pretty sure it has to be ubuntu that did it. [02:40] since your compute rwas fine beforehand. [02:40] What do i type to see my distro info [02:40] [dcr], do you know how to use it? [02:40] do i have to boot up the live cd to edit the partition linux is on? [02:40] thanks hazard, i was using one developed by intel once and it said 71 degrees c when core temp said 42 [02:40] <[dcr]> Tor33: for the most part yes. [02:40] i am glad core temp was rigth [02:40] _Oz___: Your vid card is going to cause trouble come install time, but probably not fatally [02:40] <_Oz___> RequinB4: it's dual cards [02:40] I'm having trouble with my wireless card: lshw -C network lists the card's name as wmaster0. I'm used to having it called eth1... When I try configuring it using NetworkManager I get nowhere (it doesn't even seem to edit anything in iwconfig). When setting it with iwconfig, it doesn't like me using wmaster0, so I try wlan0. But when I try getting an IP through dhcpclient it doesn't get anything. [02:40] Lurp, do you have a copy of Windows? [02:40] bashir, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780 [02:40] _Oz___: why not try the livecd, then you will know [02:40] guys, i have installed freenx (ssh tunnel) and have forwarded port 22 on my router. Do you think there is any danger in leaving it set to port 22? i hear that that is one of the most targeted ports when it comes to attacks. [02:40] darkcrab: yeah, that kinda bites. The problem isn't my HDD's though, it's my optical drives. I can't boot from ANY disks. I tried a mandriva disk, didn't work. [02:40] [dcr], just use it when you're rotating the cube. works for me... [02:40] thanks paddy [02:40] how can i install Compiz Fusion 0.7.2 from ubuntu official repos? [02:40] Housefly7k: that's what we're using now, except skype keeps crashing on me [02:40] <_Oz___> I have an amd 2.2ghz 3500+ asus board machine to run ubuntu on exclusively but I would like to dual boot that qx9650 machine [02:41] darkcrab: Unfortunately no, not a legal one. [02:41] yaser: it will be in hardy [02:41] <_Oz___> Housefly7k: because I don't have the machine yet, I just built it out online [02:41] Ah you cant boot from CD? [02:41] Housefly7k: and calls keep dropping [02:41] bashir: Was it the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool? [02:41] then what that tells me is your Bios is damaged. [02:41] 'Cuz for me they both read the same [02:41] what version of ubuntu shold i use for a vmware version to develop personally django, and not deploy flat out on an intel core 2 duo [02:41] or something is messed up in your bios === chris__ is now known as bowsercake [02:41] 7.10 amd 64? [02:41] crdlb, any way i can install them in gutsy? [02:41] yaser: nothing officially supported [02:41] bashir: are you from topaz inc? [02:41] <_Oz___> ned: 7.10 [02:41] Can you access your Bios Lurp? [02:41] darkcrab: I thought the same thing, reset my bios to the defaults, still had the same problems. [02:41] HorizonXP: sorry, dont do alot of Voip calling myself. [02:42] that's gutsy right? [02:42] hmmm... [02:42] Does anyone have experience installing grub natively? [02:42] xb3rt: uname -a [02:42] I hope your master boot record is not damaged. [02:42] _Oz___, and can a core 2 duo run the amd64 file name? [02:42] lowlevel format! [02:42] crdlb, but those packages are supposed to work in gutsy isnt? [02:42] Can you see if the windows disk will boot? [02:42] hey, I need a good VoIP application to chat with my GF. I'm on Ubuntu Gutsy, she's on WinXP. Any suggestions? Other than Skype? [02:42] <[dcr]> Tor33: You mean the regular and not the "Enhanced Zoom Desktop" right? [02:42] dont install it. [02:42] <_Oz___> ned: I believe so [02:42] GarethMarsh1985 many. what seems to be the problem ? [02:42] darkcrab: It's a possibility, i get grub errors semi-frequently [02:42] just see if it will boot. [02:42] HorizonXP: but there was a program called "Ekiga softphone" I was looking at that should be able to connect you with an msn user [02:42] alright i'll find the disk then be right back. [02:42] [dcr], the enhanced works for me [02:42] I am trying to see if its a linux only problem [02:43] What happened to the ipw3945 driver? Is it no longer going to be supported in Hardy? [02:43] yaser: you've lost me [02:43] if master boot record is damaged... does it mean there is a physical damage on the hard dive itself? [02:43] hey yall...i still can't write to my usb drive unless im root. how do i change it? ive tried to chmod 777 /media/drive [02:43] no oboy [02:43] thanks [02:43] oboy03, no [02:43] I am attempting to network a Linux machine to an my XP laptop (I am using a crossover cable). The laptop is picking up the wireless network, and I am trying to share the connection with the Linux machine, but something is wrong...and I don't know what it is...Help? [02:43] it means that a sector of the drive that has information related to vital system operation has been wiped out. [02:43] <[dcr]> Tor33: it seems to be as zoomed out as far back as it can be though, thats the only issue :( [02:43] Housefly7k: how does it connect you to MSN users? [02:43] Chrisbster, you have to set up a separte subnet [02:44] [dcr], sorry, you want to zoom out not in.... [02:44] coz im having problems like when installing ubuntu, then grub failed to install [02:44] later guys [02:44] hello is this where i come to get help with ubuntu? [02:44] sfears: how? [02:44] All of the icons in OpenOffice have disappeared - does anyone know how to get them back? [02:44] so i have to boot and install again [02:44] sean: yes [02:44] mmmmm...just because grub fails to install doesnt necesarily mean your master boot record is bad. [02:44] sfears: and how do I fix it? [02:44] i'm assuming your connected to the net wirelessly? [02:44] grub can fail to install for many reasons. [02:44] hey my system crashed when it went to hibernate and it said i cud get help on IRC [02:45] could be your system configuration. [02:45] sfears: the lap is wireless [02:45] what linux version are you trying to install oboy? [02:45] 7.10 [02:45] Sean: have you been able to replicate the problem, or did it only happen that one time [02:45] what type of computer do you have oboy? [02:45] sfears: the machine is connected to the lap with a CAT5 [02:45] one time, this is my 3rd day with linux and it just crashed a minute ago [02:45] or CAT6 [02:45] athlon 1.5ghz [02:45] pc [02:46] im trying to set up an external usb hard drive so i can write to it, i have formatted it w/ gparted, but it won't do it for some reason. it works fine on my laptop...any ideas? [02:46] <[dcr]> Tor33: yeah x.x; [02:46] sean, has this been the first time you put it in to hibernate? [02:46] yea [02:46] are you using the live CD to install oboy? [02:46] hardcode IP's into the network cards range 192.168.1.129-140 with subnet masks range 255.255.255.128-140 Chrisbster [02:46] RequinB4: Hey hey hey :) I've got GParted formatting my blank partition =D [02:47] RequinB4: Should I try the liveCD now? [02:47] Anyone got any news about how to WINE office 2007 ? [02:47] HaZaRd, yup. and set it to install on the free space [02:47] sfears: so how do I fix it though? [02:47] restart your network and configure samba & file&print sharing.. should work [02:47] are u guys like whispering me? im new to IRC too... should i be talking in the main window? [02:47] im trying to set up an external usb hard drive so i can write to it, i have formatted it w/ gparted, but it won't do it for some reason. it works fine on my laptop...any ideas? [02:47] you are talking int he main window now sean [02:47] sfears: I have already tried restarting the network [02:47] Wait... should I use the AltCD or the regular liveCD? [02:47] Hey Guys, just installed Wine through the package manager, everything working fine but for some reason sound isnt working anymore [02:47] HaZaRd: And not killing windows in the process? great, that cd wouldn't even boot on my desktop. Booting the liveCD would probably be pointless at this piont, unless you beleive in miracles, so go ahead and try to install with the alt CD :P [02:48] typically the liveCD hazard, the altCD is usually if you h ave problems [02:48] what crazy voodoo do i need to do to be able to drag windows from my laptop display to an attached LCD monitor ? [02:48] sean, talking in the main windows is better. someone else may have your problem also. =) [02:48] sfears: the problem is the Linux machine won't see the XP machine [02:48] sean, some laptops do have issues with hibernation in linux.. it is known although may also not be your problem.. you can try looking at the ubuntu laptop testing team wiki to see what it has to say about your laptop [02:48] all the drivers seem to be installed and everything is set on high volume, but no sounds is working [02:48] ok im on a desktop though [02:48] RequinB4: I've got it all backed up anyway ;) [02:48] thankfully my laptop does hybernate. [02:48] darkcrab: I'm having massive problems :P [02:48] how do i remove the system bell sound every time i press the wrong key or hold the delete button for too long in the applications ? [02:48] whats up Hazard? [02:48] sfears: if I directly connect it to the network hub, it works, but I don't want to run a cable accross the house and upstairs and I don't have a spare network bridge [02:48] pumpitup, system > prefferences > sounds [02:48] sean, lol [02:49] sean, sorry about that.. [02:49] system/administration/network.. in your ethernet card properties hardcode IP 192.168.1.129 with subnet mask 255.255.255.128.. on your windows machine right click properties on your lan connection.. tcp/ip properties hardcode IP address 192.168.1.130 subnet mask 255.255.255.128.. make sure file&print sharing are configured with shared permissions on your folders.. enable samba on your linux box & reboot.. should work Chrisbster [02:49] no problem... same type of fix right? [02:49] darkcrab: liveCD refuses to get past the first menu :) [02:49] lol [02:49] err... not really [02:49] !tab | sean [02:49] sean: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:49] hmm lmsensors didnt detect my cpu sensor [02:49] ok, can you give me your computer specs Hazard? [02:49] sfears: thanxs, I'll go try [02:49] good luck [02:49] it is a new cpu though, the penryn c2d 3.0 ghz [02:50] e8400 is the model [02:50] can anyone help me setup vncserver on my system? [02:50] darkcrab - its his 8800GT vid card, he's alt istalling so we can get drivers [02:50] That's it LOL [02:50] darkcrab: yes i used the live cd [02:50] oh ok [02:50] alright I've got altCD up and looks to be the start of the installer :) [02:50] darkcrad: is it known to have that bug? [02:50] so i take it desktops dont typically crash while hibernating? [02:50] HaZaRd - great, now just answer the questions and read everything put in front of you, and don't choose the wrong partition to install to :P [02:51] is there a linux repsository for drivers? [02:51] How to tell my ubuntu version from the command line? [02:51] or some kind of one stop shop for compatible hardware drivers [02:51] oboy, go ahead and give the alternate installer CD a try and see if that helps. [02:51] if it doesnt, come back. [02:51] RequinB4: HAHA Yup that's the plan :) [02:51] if it gets pooched, I'll just boot from my Ghost Recovery CD anyway :) [02:52] hi, im want to rate limit/monitor an ubuntu box by IP [02:52] FYI, to everyone here. if you use windows to burn a copy of linux, remember that windows is not a great operating system to burn CD's. Make sure before you install your system that your CD is not bad. [02:52] That can cause errors in installation. [02:52] How to tell my ubuntu version from the command line? [02:52] scanning CD-Rom right now... loading additional components... detecting network hardware... configure the network... seems to be working something :) [02:52] darkcrab: actually i finished installing but i guess out of 10 install there are 3 that fail on grub [02:52] i.e 203.2.2.1 -> i want its own mrtg graph and ability to rate limit ... but the issue is i have 5 ips on the one interface [02:52] i've always wondered, after installing from tarball is it ok to remove the source directory (the directory where you extracted to and ran the ./configure and make commands from) [02:53] or does that delete the install files? [02:53] HaZaRd: If i'm right, the alt CD should give you no trouble [02:53] Hmmmm... seems like it can't grab the DHCP settings from my router... [02:53] can anyone help me with installing linux using nothing but a hdd [02:53] ? [02:53] oboy03, I would give the alt-cd a try. [02:53] HaZaRd - fixable, move on if you have to [02:53] im gonna try ksensors [02:53] !dapper [02:53] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [02:53] will 8.04 be more friendly to laptops with wifi, coz its really hard for laymen to install ubuntu [02:53] HaZaRd - that probably needs drivers too [02:53] anyone experienced in Wine issues here? [02:53] so just "Do not configure at this time"? [02:53] anybody know how to get dapper to dist-upgrade to edgy? [02:53] be more specific GarethMarsh1985 i'd like to know the answer to your quesiton [02:53] how can I check the res. in my ttyl ? [02:54] HaZaRd - yes [02:54] it seems to be really insistent on hardy, which isn't useful yet [02:54] !upgrade | cwillu [02:54] cwillu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:54] you mean install from a hard drive instead of a cd? [02:54] actually 7.10 is pretty darn friendly for wifi [02:54] just depends on your computer. [02:54] I do [02:54] HaZaRd - for future referance, that means you'll have to manually transfer the package from this computer to that one [02:54] until you get the wireless on [02:54] there is a guide on the ubuntu site but you need to use a floppy [02:55] thats right requin [02:55] PriceChild, gksu "update-manager -c" just says everything is up to date, and -c -d wants to go to hardy [02:55] darkrab: i acutally had a hard time with this freakin RealTek wifi card..i wound up taking the laptop back in exchange for an Intel 3945 [02:55] how are you connecting the hdd [02:55] I'd like to be able to install using nothing but a hdd and xp [02:55] !wubi | GarethMarsh1985 [02:55] GarethMarsh1985: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://wubi-installer.org/ [02:55] hey sfears: is there a tutorial or something on samba...like hwo to use it, or enable it? [02:55] sata [02:55] Hey, when I press the wrong thing in my terminal it outputs a really loud pc speaker beep. Is there any way to turn the volume on that down, or turn it off entirely? [02:55] yup, depends on the card Frijolie [02:55] I don't just want a solution for ubuntu [02:55] my laptop has bcm94311mcg, i tried 3 ways to make it work and none worked [02:55] hey so do u recommend looking thru the laptop hibernation problems? im on a dell if that makes a dif. [02:55] I plan on running several distros to see which I'm most comfortable with [02:56] darkcrab: yes, I wish hardware vendors were more open source friendly. The Intel 3945 worked "out of the box" [02:56] oboy do this... [02:56] ummm.. not sure where to send you Chrisbster.. hit f1 & search for samba.. there's proally some good info in the help file [02:56] I've seen a lot of problems with the Broadcom wifi cards as well [02:56] system>administration>restricted drivers manager [02:56] RequinB4: Alright now I'm at the choose partition screen... I've ID'd the partition... how do I actually tell it to install there? Mount point is "/media/sdb2", bootable flag is on and mount options are at defaults [02:56] wubi isn't the kind of solution I'm looking for either [02:57] yup, my laptop card pretty much works once I download the firmware. [02:57] HaZaRd - if you're told it which partition to use, it will use that partition - just follow the prompts [02:57] dakcrab: well im not on the laptop right now [02:57] I want to install linux to an ext3 partition [02:57] GarethMarsh1985: then download vmware and get premade vitual machines of the distro you want to try - all from vm site [02:57] GarethMarsh1985: well for starters, you cant resize a partition in use [02:57] Why would I need to resize a partition? [02:57] Why does apt-get dist-upgrade not work in moving my 7.04 system to 7.10? [02:57] RequinB4: It tells me "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." [02:58] does the /tmp directory automatically get cleared at each shutdown? [02:58] I plan on partitioning the drive beforehand [02:58] you know what is great for trying out ubuntu, wubi. [02:58] but only for trying it out. [02:58] HaZaRd - grr, where does this happen? [02:58] GarethMarsh1985: how are you going to do that with only the hard drive? [02:58] anyone wanna help me install a webcam, i installed the drivers but the program still doesn't recognize my webcam [02:58] !upgrade > subsume_ (read the private message from ubotu) [02:58] !upgrade | subsume_ [02:58] subsume_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:58] dont download it for a perminent desktop [02:58] I have 2 hdd's [02:58] one with xp on [02:58] the other is for linux [02:58] RequinB4: As soon as I hit "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk"... it goes to a red screen with that message :S [02:58] pentaboot [02:58] Temptant: I still haven't gotten my built-in webcam in this laptop working either..but haven't really tried [02:59] I'd like to keep both seperate [02:59] HaZaRd - go back and doulbe check your partition options [02:59] should be straight forward gareth. [02:59] RequinB4: Looking for what? [02:59] GarethMarsh1985, if you don't have the hard drive connected directally to the computer it won't detect your hardware properly and will more than likly cause boot problems [02:59] Hello! sometime Ubuntu doesn't show my NSFT partition, Any ideas why? [02:59] HaZaRd - tell me what options you have [02:59] Are ther any users of DYnamips and GNS3 ?? [02:59] *buntu needs to set the volume realllly lower than it does now on a default install. Everytime I log in, if I dont plug in my headset, my whole house is awake and my ears burn :P [02:59] hd is connected via sata, that's pretty direct right? [03:00] OsamaK, where does it usually show "i believe you mean NTFS" partitions [03:00] Mimi - turn the volume down? [03:00] wierd, it sets my volume rather low [03:00] download vmware and get premade vitual machines of the distro you want to try - all from vm site [03:00] This is a stupid question, but I couldn't find it anywhere and I don't have a Gnome machine around. How do you change the gtk/Gnome theme? [03:00] RequinB4: I've got a whole whack of hard drives on screen... one 250GB one (my music storage drive), one 65GB one (ext3--this is where I want to install GG), one 129.9GB one (my Vista drive) and one 500GB drive for storage... only the 65GB drive is "bootable" [03:00] I don't want vm's [03:01] actually I recommend wubi instead of vmware. [03:01] Viaken - system - prefs - appearence [03:01] osamak, ubunto don't show you ntfs partition because is corrupted, for example, by a bad windows shutdown [03:01] PriceChild, for future reference, you have to force update-manager to an older version, and then it'll offer to dist-upgrade to 6.10 [03:01] Hello, I need to record a video of my desktop with compiz, I have an AMD X2, nvidia Gforce 7 series, 1G ram, 512 M in video, I install instanbul, It work very good in my old video card (ATI x1600) but now I can't record with a good quality, Do you know an other software that I can use to record my desktop? thanks ;) [03:01] (i.e., synaptic, downgrade the package) [03:01] !info recordmydesktop | edugonch [03:01] edugonch: recordmydesktop: Captures audio-video data of a linux desktop session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.4-1 (gutsy), package size 41 kB, installed size 124 kB (Only available for None) [03:01] HaZaRd; is the vista drive only 129G because that is all vista will recognize? [03:01] i just got the wifi working on an intel 3954 [03:01] Are ther any users of DYnamips and GNS3 ?? [03:02] is there a way to remove icons from gnome drop down menu [03:02] Rockers: Yes, this thing happened. What should I do? [03:02] Thanks, I'll try [03:02] fevel: right click > edit menu [03:02] are there any bootloaders out there that will boot an iso from an ext3 partition? [03:02] hope i can do the same with broadcom [03:02] Hazard - and it doesn't work when you choose the 65GB drive? [03:02] bastid_raZor: No, I made it that [03:02] RequinB4: DOH I know, but Im talking about a default install. I cant turn the volume down before BOOTING Kubuntu lol [03:02] !info gtkrecordmydesktop | edugonch [03:02] edugonch: Package gtkrecordmydesktop does not exist in gutsy [03:02] PriceChild, there is no option here [03:02] PriceChild, I want to leave only the written entry [03:02] !info gtk-recordmydesktop > edugonch [03:02] RequinB4: well...

[03:04] gparted [03:04] RequinB4: I just formatted it with GParted... it was already blank, I just made it an ext3 FS instead of NTFS [03:04] Rockers: ? [03:04] HaZaRd - no, i mean, how did you form the partition [03:04] yes? [03:05] there is a command that you can pipe into another command to monitor to monitor that. for example $command | du -f to see the free partition space, any idea what it is? [03:05] hey, i been messin around with Ubuntu [03:05] try to check the ntfs filesystem [03:05] What is the place to put gtk themes? [03:05] RequinB4: thanks! [03:05] Viaken - np [03:05] and try to remount [03:05] fevel: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Interface [03:05] just wondered if anyone might be able to help on may laptop, with broadcome wireless. [03:06] i bet you get questions like that alot. [03:06] hello my dell desktop system just crashed when it went into hibernate and it said i could get help on IRC [03:06] drc, youre the man [03:06] ok_Kid - look at the restricted drivers manager [03:06] RequinB4: Umm... well it's been that way since I had XP MCE installed on this machine about... a year and a half ago? I used Acronis to shift the 130/65GB partitions around (they were originally 100 and 95) [03:06] sfears: when I browse samba, nothing is there [03:06] darkcrab, final consensus, windows semi loads, then does nothing [03:06] does anyone know how to get all the buttons on the logitech mx700 to work? [03:06] fevel: danke ..opps...np :) [03:06] Then I installed Vista, killed my XP install, and wiped the drive clean... it's been sitting that way for a few months now [03:06] anyway, i got it to work using fwcutter, and the driver that comes with Ubuntu....yes, i know all about the restricted drivers manager....thanks....theres more [03:07] Chrisbster, make sure your workgroups on both computers are EXACTALLY the same [03:07] hello [03:07] Not in that order, i assume [03:07] snet -hfears: when I browse samba, nothing is there [03:07] but i am wanting to get it working with ndiswrapper also.....and that seems to be a problem. [03:07] RequinB4: Pretty much. Why? [03:07] how i can install dreamweaver? what need use? [03:07] HaZaRd - so you had XP MCE and Vista on the same hard drive but different partitions, then killed XP? [03:08] tried some of the tutorials, but to no availe... got the driver installed, but i am not sure what i have to do with "modprobe", andybody know [03:08] or does anybody know of a very extensive, and easy tutorial....? [03:08] hey guys, im trying to install a printer, but it keeps asking me for my localhost password, whenever i try to put in mine it just prompts me again, im not sure what im doing wrong [03:08] RequinB4: Yeah. I never used XP so I just formatted the whole drive when I upgraded and eventually re-installed Vista, too [03:08] what is the ubuntu equivalent to kcontrol? [03:08] RequinB4: I think I actually have to set the "Mount point" as just "/"... that's apparently the root file system... Correct? [03:09] one of the reasons i want to use ndiswrapper is because the other arrangements seem to be somewhat intermitten....kind of off and on....and i was wondering about my speed.....if there would be any difference using ndiswrapper, than the other. [03:09] HaZaRd - one second [03:09] RequinB4: Do I really need separate partitions for the swap file and bootloader? [03:09] Sure [03:09] Hi all. I'm not sure why but all of the sudden compiz won't work any more... when I run from cmdline it says that "XGL" is not present, but I have not touched my xorg.conf for a long time.. Any ideas? [03:09] swap needs to be on a seperate partition [03:09] i mean is the bcm43xx driver tuned well enough to run it as well as the windows driver, running with ndiswrapper? [03:10] the bootloader is loaded onto the MBR record IIRC [03:10] HaZaRd - yes, for bootloader, no, for swap, since you have 4GB of RAM [03:10] HaZaRd - but it's good to have if you don't need the whole 65GB [03:10] its a good idea to have a seperate /home and /usr partition aswell [03:11] RequinB4: So... I should split the partition? I don't really need the whole 65GB, it's just to tinker around with anyway [03:11] HaZaRd - if you don't need it, i'd do what it suggests, but it is really up to you - you do need the bootloader [03:11] RequinB4: I feel like a total n00b in the world of Linux lol... I can do anything I want in Windows lol [03:11] hi everyone [03:12] HaZaRd - that's contingent upon learnign something new, i promise linux will be 120% more customizable, its legally bound to give you complete freedom [03:12] hello my dell desktop system just crashed when it went into hibernate and it said i could get help on IRC [03:13] my LCD TV can go to 1366X768, but its currently, in Ubuntu, only able to hit 1024X768, how can I allow for more res. ? [03:13] my first guess sean would be some kind of video driver problem [03:13] RequinB4: How big should I make the bootloader partition? Is 1GB enough? [03:13] sean, model of the computer [03:13] ?? [03:13] sean: when you say crashed we need more info, what happened? any messages? what could you see on the screen [03:13] sfears_: i just checked my restricted drivers [03:13] HaZaRd - you may want to look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DrivesAndPartitions - and whatever it suggests is sufficient [03:13] !vpn [03:13] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [03:13] screen resolution is dependant on your video card & drivers wolferine [03:13] Moncky: black screen that said press shut down to manually turn me off [03:13] RequinB4: Thanks... appreciate the help, by the way... I kinda feel like I'm badgering you with questions >_< [03:14] sean.. that's the problem.. restricted drivers have issues with hibernation [03:14] Anyone know in usenet how do you get rid of "text muted" so that i can see the whole quote [03:14] sfears_, yes, but how do I setup more res. ? just add them manually in xorg.conf ? [03:14] it said "no restricted drivers needed with hardware" [03:14] HaZaRd - not at all, i'd have the same questions if i was installing via alt cd for the first time, especially to do with my HDD [03:14] omg that took forever [03:14] what video card it's?? [03:14] that might work.. if your using nvidia drivers run the command "sudo nvidia-settings" & see if there's extra resolution in there [03:14] i have a radeon 9200 se [03:15] ati that is [03:15] are you using the ATI drivers? [03:15] i am having a problem with 7.10 64 using my 8800 gtx anyone want to help [03:15] sean, uncheck the restricted drivers.. hibernate & see what happens.. if it fixes it not have the restricted drivers enabled then there's your problem.. and it will be hard to find a fix being that the restricted drivers are kind of unsupported [03:15] driver says ati - ATI Mach8, Mach32 Mach64 [03:15] install the program "envy" [03:16] HaZaRd - in case you don't finish installing tonight, i'd like to tell you the basic roadmap of how to try and get your GUI working post install [03:16] !envy [03:16] envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » === ^4nDr3s is now known as RoAkSoAx [03:16] yeah sean.. that what i think your problem is.. hibernate & restricted video drivers don't play nice with each other [03:16] I have a process that has spawned several other processes (a build script). If I renice that build script/spawner, will it in turn affect all the spawned processes? [03:16] o is the ati driver restricted? [03:16] yup [03:16] i'm got the same problem [03:16] oo ok === sfears_ is now known as sFEARs [03:17] and envy works [03:17] yea, earlier i was havuing trouble with compiz [03:17] sean, test it though [03:17] but i reinstalled the OS and it works fine now [03:17] ok [03:17] Rockers: envy is horrible advice [03:17] ive been serching for 3 hours on the 8800gtx issue some one help me [03:17] sfears_, well, I used to use nvidia-settings, but this time I didnt have to, updated to Gutsy... so is that possibly still the best solution, adding them into my xorg.conf manually (or even just using nvidia-settings) ? [03:17] my system halts for a couple of seconds randomly [03:17] system/admin/restricted drivers manager.. uncheck, reboot & hibernate.. it will proally work fine.. if it does there's your problem [03:17] compiz works perfect now [03:17] especially when watching videos [03:17] Rockers: give it time. [03:17] does anyone vave the same problem? [03:17] it not than horrible [03:18] Rockers: just because compiz works, doesn't mean its right.. give it time, you will regret it [03:18] horrible it's to install the driver manually... [03:18] compiz will break [03:18] how do i uncheck the restricted driver? [03:18] Rockers: and yes it is, its horrible [03:18] !envy | Rockers [03:18] Rockers: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories.

Reboot and should hit a "low gfx mode" window - hit configure (or something) and use the TEST function (not OK) to boot with VESA drivers. Then use restricted devices manager to figure what drivers you need, download them from package.ubuntu.com, use a flashdrive to transfer to that computer, and install. Reboot, and have [03:19] /msg ubotu binarydriver [03:19] compiz is to linux as condoms are to sex.. looks good until it's broken [03:19] lol [03:19] hahaha very true [03:19] it's decent [03:19] Rockers: that only shows your inexperience [03:19] jejjee [03:19] yeah.. real users don't use gui's [03:20] RequinB4: Alright will do... It's actually installing now :D [03:20] sFEARs: no, i use GUI's for everything [03:20] my LCD TV can go to 1366X768, but its currently, in Ubuntu, only able to hit 1024X768, how can I allow for more res. ? [03:20] Can someone help me setup avant window manager === icesword is now known as pclinuxos [03:20] im really trying to get into linux but when theres no visable help after looking everywhere for 3 hours its frustrating [03:20] does anyone know where i can find the Desktop entry file to edit the Desktop menus in Ubuntu [03:20] i don't know how people still use gui-less systems.. other than for network admin & such [03:20] HaZaRd - if you do the above and it still doesn't work, then the drivers you need must not exist :P [03:21] RequinB4: That's reassuring :P [03:21] RequinB4: I'm not using any exotic hardware, though, so somebody should have 'em. [03:21] busbey: What's your problem? [03:21] thank you [03:21] one sec [03:21] hey how do u bend a corner of a window in with compiz? === pclinuxos is now known as hmm [03:21] HaZaRd - there's bound to be hardware that works better then others [03:21] wolferine, i think we've already figured out the only ways to fix [03:21] sean, enable wobbly windows. [03:21] yea but then [03:21] anyone? [03:21] wat button dop u press [03:21] .. [03:22] grab the middle of the window and pull down :) [03:22] can we pm? [03:22] Whats the easiest way to find a file via command line? [03:22] where can i find the .desktop file to change the entries of the menu's? [03:22] hello..... i need to know how to switch graphics cards from vesa to intel..... everytime i change them, it just goes back to vesa..... Ubuntu originallly had me using intel.... how do i fix this? [03:22] like, fast, too [03:22] busbey: no, ask the question in here, that way if anybody else knows the answer they can help too. [03:22] kjoz: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu [03:22] I have a process that has spawned several other processes (a build script). If I renice that build script/spawner, will it in turn affect all the spawned processes? [03:22] yea but ive sen on u tube u can bend a corner of the window in, without moving the rest of the windiw [03:22] RequinB4: Oh for sure. I don't doubt it, but my hardware should at least *work* :P [03:22] do u need to hold something down? [03:22] alright [03:22] !pm | Everyone [03:22] meoblast001, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ??

[03:22] sFEARs, do tell, please [03:23] HaZaRd - Linux devs don't have the monopolistic luxury of writing drivers before the hardware comes out :P [03:23] add extra resolutions to your xorg.conf file or use nvidia-settings [03:23] drc: Thanks appreciate it [03:23] RequinB4: Good call, then again my hardware has been out for a good five months now :) [03:23] 7.10 64bit alternate install worked so that i get the grub menu but splash doesnt showup [03:23] kjoz: np === [dcr] is now known as `-` [03:23] Is their a command to get a detailed listing of my hardware and specs [03:23] Would anyone know what he "Super" button is?

[03:24] HaZaRd - one last thing, because this is off topic, but 5 monthis isn't that much time. and yes, that's because NVIDIA is soon going to be an almost bad monopoly as microsoft w/ merger to ATI - but offtopic [03:24] sFEARs: do i want kernel framebuffer interface? [03:24] how do i pipe a command to a txt file [03:24] that will list all the hardware connected to your pci bus [03:24] "bending the corner of a window in without moving it" [03:24] my rig is q6600, 8800gtx [03:24] oboy03: it can be several things, but the most common is the broken package needs packages that haven't been installed [03:24] Hey there i justin installed LAMP on my ubuntu gutsy box, but i have also installed webmin, but i cant log in, is there a default username password? [03:24] it will more than likely work meoblast [03:24] so is that a yes or no? [03:24] it will more than likely work meoblast001 [03:24] Alan_M: Thanks :) [03:24] yes sean, we actually answered your question if you were paying attention, but ill repeat. [03:24] yes.. meoblast001 [03:24] so they are like in windows "corrupt downloads?" [03:24] Enable wobbly windows in desktop effects sean :) [03:24] SupaFly: I think you'll have to enable root account for that [03:25] Sindacious, your welcome. [03:25] ah ok [03:25] yes, but when ever i bend a corner in, the whole window moves [03:25] sFEARs, looks like my xorg.conf has addition res., but not the 1366x768 I wanted. Added it manually (nvidia-settings just fumbled alot of errors) [03:25] brb [03:25] RequinB4: nVidia merger with ATI? AMD just bought ATI a little over a year ago and both companies have been floundering ever since... [03:25] usser sorry how do i go about that? [03:25] then, it must not be enabled..because if it was, it wouldnt be moving a whole window. lol [03:25] oboy03: why not tell us exactly what's going on with your install, and go from there [03:25] wolferine.. did it work? [03:26] azmoo could i try to explain it to you so u can word it to other ppl? [03:26] just making a window almost collapse in on itself sean. [03:26] SupaFly: sudo passwd should do, it'll prompt your for your sudo password and a new password for root. after that you shoul restart apache and login to webmin with root credentials [03:26] ok, are the ppl on utube have like rly low friction or something? [03:26] my system keeps halting for seconds when watching videos, Can anyone help me fix thisissue? [03:26] ok i updated important security updates, then it had an error and the rest of the update wont install because of broken package [03:26] HaZaRd - didn't hear it from me, and /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:26] sFEARs: lets see if this works... i mainly went with the defaults [03:26] !webmin [03:26] 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. [03:26] yeah.. that's the best way to go meoblast001 [03:27] sean, i have no clue what you just said, can you explain further? [03:27] HaZaRd - I've got to go now, though - good luck, and don't lose those instructions - need any furthur help just come here [03:27] can't play mpeg files as well the other ones but i have all the gstreamer codecs install does someone knows why? [03:27] !ebox [03:27] oboy03: and the packages in particular are? Best way to show is to run sudo apt-get -f install in a terminal, and put the complete error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [03:27] 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 [03:27] lose the directions.. they're worthless if not commited to memory!! [03:27] ive seen people on youtube bend the corner of their window all the way down to the other side of the app without moving the window, when ever i try to bend a window, the whole window moves with my cursor [03:27] i tried sudo apt-get install -f and still has errors [03:27] usser it just said access denied blocked because of too many attempts, i tried sudo as username and passwd as password [03:27] usser also tried my user name and root password [03:27] thanx sFEARs [03:28] welcome [03:28] Are they using beryl or compiz-fusion sean? [03:28] sean: that's part of the wobbly windows plugin in compiz-fusion [03:28] because theres a bit of a difference between those two packages. [03:28] SupaFly: in terminal type in sudo passwd [03:28] nickrud, ive explained that part. [03:28] SupaFly: did you do that? [03:28] ah yup just done that now [03:28] my windows wobble, but they dont bend [03:28] sorry i meant you ment in webmin [03:28] Alan_M: ah. Did you talk about setting the friction to some ungodly number? [03:28] AzMoo [03:29] busbey: yo, sorry I got disconnected. [03:29] I have a process that has spawned several other processes (a build script). If I renice that build script/spawner, will it in turn affect all the spawned processes? Also, if I set the priority of a process highter, I'm guessing that means it has access to more resources? [03:29] SupaFly: then sudo /etc/init.d/apache? restart [03:29] how do i use paste bin?. [03:29] hey is there a socks proxy in the repositories? [03:29] Hi, I installed windows, and now grub isn't recognized, im in the Ubuntu live CD; how would i go about restoring it? [03:29] what exactly is "friction" i have compiz-fusion enabled and see that nowhere nickrud :/ [03:29] !pastebin [03:29] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:29] thats where im getting lost, your talking about friction. lol [03:29] oic dante-client -server instead of just dante [03:29] SupaFly: and then you should be able to login with username "root" and the password you created for it with sudo passwd [03:29] oboy03: it's a website. You run that command I gave, and copy and paste it there, and when you submit you get a url back. Give me that url [03:30] AzMoo can i please msg you to try and explain my problem, i dont know how to word it [03:30] Does someone knows why i can't play mpeg files even though all the codecs are installed?

[03:36] i'm guessing the easiest way is just to reinstall again.. something didn't take right [03:36] busbey: so the problem is that you get a black screen until the login screen comes up? [03:36] tyger that is your problem; install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:36] -_- [03:36] crap. [03:36] and if were wrong on chinese, i can throw a jp in there..but im sure thats chinese characters.

But continue using the terminal... so sort of like doing Alt+f2 but from the terminal [03:37] nickrud, you got me? [03:37] nickrud: maybe it was caused by my internet [03:37] they should both do the same thing.. the alt cd is faster i think [03:37] Housefly7k: add a & to the end of the command, like gedit & [03:37] nickrud:Thank you [03:37] dezrik umm try from gconf-editor and then select apps and maybe netstatus_applet ?

[03:37] nickrud: thanks [03:37] Housefly7k: put an "&" after the command [03:37] sounds like a grub problem, reboot on live disc and reinstall grub? [03:37] whoops [03:37] jimmygoon_, HaZaRd [03:37] Starnestommy: thank u too [03:37] but people are gettin g around it by disabling splash [03:38] !grub > HaZaRd [03:38] hmm: not really. But most likely he got the grub install set up wrong. [03:38] busby: yes, this is the usual fix:: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen [03:38] !grub | HaZaRd [03:38] busbey, Do you not know how to disable splash [03:38] HaZaRd: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[03:38] ok,messed up mbr [03:38] oboy03: could be. I don't think I've ever seen that one myself [03:38] busbey: it looks like somebody's got it working as well. 2nd to last comment. Is the problem that you don't know how to do it? [03:38] usually 0,0 is your windows partition [03:38] HaZaRd, do the recovery one from the live disc and hopefully it will at least pick up the ubuntu install. after that we can get vista on the list === FFEMTcJ is now known as FFEMTcJ[away] [03:38] how do i reinstall Grub on my hdd if im booting from the live cdrom ? [03:38] I'm looking for a bittorrent client that a) will run cli only (headless machine), b) can be scheduled to have limits for certain times of day and days of week, c) allows adding, removing, pausing, and resuming of torrents without totally restarting the client - any suggestions? [03:39] sFEARs, um, only if it's installed first on the disc, which is not a safe assumption [03:39] python [03:39] is there a way of loggin in straight into a console, so no GDM? from boot [03:39] hmm--> i doubt it if the guy really completed the install [03:39] !grub | sCOTTo [03:39] sCOTTo: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

I guess I need to look into rtorrents options more... [03:39] HaZaRd, let us know how it goes, most likely your solution will come from something in/on/within the live disc [03:39] Is that what recovery mode is for? i never tried that [03:39] kmandla.wordpress.com has more info and a tutorial on that tonyyarusso [03:39] i did but still not working [03:40] bazhang: will bookmark [03:40] busbey, From Terminal, type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst Remove splash as needed or per the link you gave, save the fine.. Done [03:40] brb [03:40] i tryed in recovery sudo nano -w /boot/grub/menu.1st and its a blank file [03:40] ummm... sCOTTo i'm guessing you don't have any menu options? it just boots straight into the error? [03:40] jimmygoon_: I've gotta choose the root file system now... I don't know which one it is... I've got 8 bloody options o.O [03:40] busbey: that's an Lst not Onest [03:40] HaZaRd, it would be w/e the ubuntu install it [03:40] busby menu.lst LST not 1ST [03:41] 8 partitions might be giving the basic partitioner problems.. usually they can only work with 4??? [03:41] sFEARs, yeah it gives me a chance to get a small menu which lets me boot normally, recovery mode <-- which doesnt work or memtest86 [03:41] omg [03:41] they just say "/dev/sda1-4" and "/dev/sdb1, sdc1, sdd2, sdd2" [03:41] HaZaRd, "If you do not know your boot partition, use find /boot/grub/stage1" [03:41] busbey, that is an L not a one.. LST [03:41] tyger how did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras please? [03:41] busbey: doesn't it suck when it's the silly things :) [03:41] sudo rm is remove? [03:41] yea [03:41] ive wasted hours on that crap [03:41] does the recovery mode give the exact same error as the normal boot? [03:41] busbey: see, that's why we don't pm ;) [03:42] busbey: check the link i posted for the additional step [03:42] hold up ill try and come back [03:42] oboy03: rm is remove. sudo is a tool that gives you administrative rights, you need them to work outside of your home directory [03:42] Im trying to install this theme from http://ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/SlicknesS?content=71993 but the directions arnt working right [03:42] jimmygoon_: I'm actually using the altCD not the liveCD :S [03:42] busbey, you can paste into a terminal by adding shift to ctrl-v [03:42] HaZaRd, thats fine [03:42] !sudo | oboy03 [03:42] oboy03: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [03:42] run "find /boot/grub/stage1" from the grub prompt [03:42] sCOTTo--> once in liveCD, go to a terminal, mount the partition where you had boot/grub..btw do you have a separate /boot partition? [03:42] can i copy all apt packages in a CD and use it as an update CD? [03:42] HaZaRd, run "find /boot/grub/stage1" from the grub prompt [03:42] jimmygoon_: So where do I enter that command?

[03:43] Could Gusty -> Hardy Upgrade freeze my screen.. === demonspork is now known as [d-_-b] [03:43] sCOTTo--> well, you can try fdisk -l and mount each partition you see individually to find where that /boot is [03:44] HaZaRd, nooooo [03:44] HaZaRd, its easy enough to drop to cmd line to try recovering grub [03:44] oboy03: you would install the package, system->admin->synaptic and search (ctlr-f) for it. And yes, that's one of it's uses [03:44] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:44] Darkmystere, Yes, especially if it was from Ubuntu Ultimate to Hardy [03:44] HaZaRd, and will take a fraction of the time [03:44] I have no sound after I upgrade to Hardy alpha6 but this has never happened to me before [03:44] n8tuser, i have a 74 GB on here and i just told ubuntu to do it all... [03:44] * sFEARs gave HaZaRd bad advice on the ease of reinstallation.. mah bad [03:44] This is my second time upgarde to hardy [03:44] !hardy [03:44] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [03:44] Jack_Sparrow, lol..

Is it possible to install ubuntu to an ntfs partition? [03:45] sCOTTo--> that makes it even easier...do sudo -i on a terminal; then fdisk -l [03:45] i'm not even sure what rsync is Frijolie [03:45] so [03:45] Jack_Sparrow, Why you figure.. [03:45] I think it's something else [03:45] pen, take it to #ubuntu+1 please [03:45] pen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:47] Jack_Sparrow, lol...W00t finnaly done with all 1506 Downloads....on to installing them all.. [03:47] n8tuser: I have not tried, however I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this? [03:47] sCOTTo, the grub recovery guide tells you how to identify the root device when trying to recover grub [03:47] Darkmystere, I wish you luck.. [03:47] automatix = sucks. [03:47] jimmygoon_, where do i find it ? [03:47] !automatix [03:47] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed.

[03:47] drewb1; poor guy must be brainwashed [03:47] i think its a bug [03:48] sCOTTo--> good so just chroot / and then type grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sda1 [03:48] Jack_Sparrow, Should i stop using things while it installs the upgrades.. [03:48] sCOTTo, check the first link, in the grub console run "find /boot/grub/stage1" it tells you plain as day the root device [03:48] :) Please people.. dont use automatix [03:48] Hi, how do you install themes? [03:48] ok thanks [03:48] I tried it once and hated it [03:48] jimmygoon_: Alright I'm now at the liveCD main menu... where do I go? :S [03:48] d'oh!

But, changing that particular directory to you is a Bad Idea. [04:07] You guys act like ive been using automatix if it comes with the Ubuntu what can i do.

Can't even log in to server on startup. Advice?

[04:19] ok [04:19] oops [04:19] xb3rt did you use sudo [04:19] its not just now. Everytime I get into a ubindtu this place is worthless.

You might want to wait until some new people who haven't been abused show up [04:22] bazhang: I've been using ubuntu for 4 years, its not harsh. I know how defunct the ubuntu project is from any direction you ask. Server? Desktop? Lab? Oh just ask. [04:22] lancerocke: it should of worked putting it in /usr/share/themes and you don't need a sudo to copy to ~/.themes [04:22] travisat: ok [04:23] nickrud: Dude, nobody here is going to answer anything. Nobody here *knows* anything and that's the problem. [04:23] hi can someone compile a driver for me?

[04:23] I have an SSH only system. Anyone recommend a good CD/DVD burner? [04:23] travisat: i know about his directory structure, but its still not working [04:23] that is burning software in text mode. [04:24] travisat: I've been advertising my problem in here for the past 6 hours and nobody even bothers to ask beyond 1 question [04:24] Hey i just installed web min on my lamp gutsy box, and got it up and running, now after trying to start it again, the page wont load :S [04:24] lancerocke: that is really wierd is it not showing up in the appearances/customize [04:24] travisat: But today isn't even the point. its _Every_ day. [04:24] hobbzilla--> i dont think burning dvd or cd is even done in graphics [04:24] subsume_--> you keep coming back for more? [04:24] travisat: its jus not. i know his directory structure and how he packaged it [04:24] travisat: Unless you're blabbing about CD burning, this place isn't for you. Its not for any power users. Its for people trying to run Wine badly. [04:24] i find that the people in here are usually very helpful [04:24] subsume_ what is your problem man [04:24] travisat: i am sure that i am putting the righ tfolder in the right folder [04:25] subsume_: well lets put it this way if I went to a car forum to ask why my car wouldn't start and they asked what is going on and you said I turn the key and it didn't go, you won't get much help [04:25] subsume_, you really don't have to be here. at all [04:25] I got wine, and secondlife............secondlife, doesnt work [04:25] n8tuser: Sadly this pathetic community is my only recourse. Reading unresponded forums only gets me so far. [04:25] subsume_: ease up on the attitude. [04:25] he's just trolling [04:25] n8tuser: well most of the guides are all for nerolinux, k3b,cdw/gcdw etc. for a GUI. [04:25] xb3rt: secondlife already has a linux client you dont need wine [04:25] snarkster: i have it, and can't get it to work very good [04:26] lancerocke: yes ~/.themes and /usr/share/themes are where themes are, the only things I could think of is that you have an extra directory cause the guy packaged it wierd or you don't have aururo installed correctly [04:26] I don't want to use compiz anymore, but I still want to change workspace by using a scrollwheel. Possible in metacity? [04:26] then its your video card/video driver [04:26] If anyone here ever had a #debian problem, you'd know that the quality of people there are orders better than in here. [04:26] hobbzilla--> if you google for wodim or cdrecord [04:26] All you guys are good for are minor hardware quirks. [04:26] snarkster: it worked fine on windows [04:26] travisat: ok thanks [04:26] subsume_ I also try to be specific on my problem [04:26] ok this isnt a windows channel..

[04:30] sudo VirtualBox OSE [04:30] Qt WARNING: VirtualBox: cannot connect to X server [04:31] towlie: I think so [04:31] sudo won't work either [04:31] you HAVE to add your username to the vboxusers group [04:31] pakikid: do not run random stuff with sudo, it is dangerous [04:31] sudo: adduser: command not found [04:32] useradd [04:32] Does anyone know how I create a character matrix in matlab? [04:32] pakikid: go to System->Administration->Users and Groups [04:32] I'd be using the user tool somewhere off the admin menu [04:32] jester7: yeah, that one :) [04:33] travisat's way is easier, but maybe you are more comfortable with gui [04:33] wait adduser is not on your system? [04:33] I deal with technophobes... open a terminal and they freak out... [04:33] jester7 then what [04:33] <[dcr]> Lol [04:34] pakikid: then click the "manage groups" button [04:34] hello all [04:34] pakikid: scroll to the vboxusers group, and click properties, then put a checkmark next to your username [04:35] does anyone here know if hfs+ write support in ubuntu is stable [04:35] cew_emo [04:36] zcat[1]: lol, i missed that, and i know exactly what you mean [04:36] jester7 i am on suse [04:36] Does anyone know how I create a character matrix in matlab? [04:36] norty: this isn't the matlab channel [04:36] os x only runs on apple computers towlie this channel does not support that [04:37] can anyone see my chat? [04:37] travisat, i know but no one is answering in the matlab channel [04:37] I don't want to use compiz anymore, but I still want to change workspace by using a scrollwheel. Possible in metacity? [04:37] ToastGuy: sure [04:37] yes ToastGuy [04:37] lol [04:37] thanks [04:37] towlie: I don't think the support is complete, but I think it will work but it has a chance of messing stuff up, I haven't looked in a while the support might have changed [04:37] pakikid: lmao, well um, i don't know what to to tell you [04:38] pakikid: were you planning on running ubuntu inside the vbox? why would you ask that in an ubuntu chat? [04:38] did u guys play word war vi?

I'm playing with f-spot, but it isn't really what I want (and really slow) [04:38] jester7 yes i was [04:39] Unknown terminal: bterm [04:39] jester7 so how can i add to suse [04:39] why do i have to compile it my self if we are using the same kernel [04:39] subsume_: put the complete output from sudo apt-get -f install on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [04:39] how can I make a ubuntu desktop installation as secure as the server version, at least at what open ports is concerned? [04:39] pakikid: i have no idea. i'm sure that's pretty easy to find in suse documentation [04:39] anyone here have any problems with a dvd-rw, cd-rw drive in an acer with the device id of "TS-L632B"? [04:39] Does anyone know how I create a character matrix in matlab? [04:39] It won't read dvds at all :( [04:40] can i extract .zip files with tar ? [04:40] nickrud: I am using rescue disk. How to get that to the internet? I can't configure my dhcp for some reason when attempting to start. [04:40] just a question: sources.list tells ubuntu where to download or get repos and updates? and to update it you use sudo apt-get update? [04:40] subsume_: do you have a wired connection? [04:40] orudie: i think you can just use unzip [04:40] orudie: you can use unzip to unzip files. [04:40] orudie: [04:40] root@mike-desktop:/var/log# tar --help |grep zip [04:40] -j, --bzip2 filter the archive through bzip2 [04:40] -z, --gzip, --gunzip, --ungzip filter the archive through gzip === lunks is now known as Lunks [04:41] so no, you cant... you can use unzip though. [04:41] pakikid: in suse, go to "Control Center" then "user management" [04:41] jimmygoon: You still here? [04:41] ok [04:41] nickrud: yep [04:41] did it [04:41] subsume_: I'll put up a stanza you can modify for your internet. A sec [04:41] isee my username [04:42] pakikid: then it should be pretty close to teh same, look look at the groups, find vboxusers, and add your username to it [04:42] hello [04:42] I need help with USB. I think autodetect is overriding my device with something else so I can't use it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59106/ [04:42] jester7 i am looking in groups there are no vbox users there [04:43] oboy03: sources.list is where the location of repositories are located for apt-get and the like [04:43] pakikid: well, that's unfortunate. i've never run into that issue [04:43] shoulkd i add vbox users [04:43] you can try....it needs to be all one word [04:43] pakikid: vboxusers [04:43] Hello [04:44] Newbuntu2: what is the problem, it is detecting you are putting in an xbox controller [04:44] subsume_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59107/ . The resolv.conf file has OpenDNS servers, they should work for you. The interface file you'll need to modify the ip's to match your network [04:44] pakikid: but i doubt it will have the correct security rights for running vbox [04:45] can microsoft and linux coexist? one wonders [04:45] travisat: I think so. I'm plugging in my measurement computing device; I don't have an xbox controller. and when I try to use the driver it says device not found... [04:45] jk jk [04:45] darkcrab: yes, in a variety of ways [04:45] * bluefox83 wonders if ubuntu could handle a ps3 controller if there was a bluetooth card in the machine... [04:45] darkcrab: dual boot for one [04:45] darkcrab: doh [04:45] Newbuntu2: ahh well hmm [04:45] * darkcrab is running a dual boot, was just being funny [04:45] customize gnome? program? [04:45] you can totally hack a xbox and put linux on it :D [04:45] heh [04:45] travisat: how can I tell it not to think it's an xbox thingy [04:46] travisat: If that's the problem... [04:46] darkcrab: why dual boot? [04:46] i need windows for some things. [04:46] games [04:46] I am wondering, i downloaded the "ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run", i have HD 2600XT from Sapphire, and im really new to Ubuntu, and i love it so far, but i got some problems with installing the display-drivers for my ATI-card, can anyone please help me? [04:46] i do to..give virtualbox a try [04:46] oh, maybe not for games [04:47] more specifically, install themes [04:47] Newbuntu2: can you rmmod the xbox driver [04:47] this laptop is not powerful enough to do a virtual machine. [04:47] travisat: can I do modprobe -r xpad? [04:47] cannot remember the appname :( [04:47] Newbuntu2: or that [04:47] !webcam [04:47] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [04:48] <[dcr]> Can someone help me understand why my mouse isnt working in the Vista VMWare? [04:48] Newbuntu2: what is the name of your device [04:48] cus vista - crap [04:48] pardon, s/-/= === cwillu_ is now known as cwillu [04:48] wouldnt that be a vista issue dcr [04:48] <[dcr]> If I had xp discs i would have =/ [04:49] ToastGuy: what was your question about openssl , anyway [04:49] travisat: USB 1208FS. when I modprobe -r it dergisters but doesn't work, and when I unplug and plug it back it it autodetects it as a xpad again.. [04:49] <[dcr]> Yeah but I dont understand, it picks up th driver for my synaptics touchpad [04:49] nickrud, Shadow420 said you might be able to help [04:49] <[dcr]> But it isnt working with the touchpad, and the usb wireless mouse i have isnt working either. [04:49] anyone running kismet with iwl3945 wifi drivers? [04:49] ToastGuy: Like I said, I don't know much about it at all. I don't run servers much, so I haven't read up on it more than cursorily [04:50] nickrud, ok... no problem. sorry about the pm. [04:50] a nice little practical joke to play to your ubuntu user.... xrandr -o inverted [04:50] ToastGuy: as I said, no problem :) [04:50] can someone please answear me? [04:51] CyberSamurai, sorry i can't help [04:51] Cymorph, ask your question, if someone nows the answer, he or she will help you!! [04:51] !patience | Cymorph [04:51] Cymorph: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:52] <[dcr]> !google [04:52] google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [04:52] <[dcr]> :D [04:52] hey darkcrab, you haven't by any chance been following my plight? [04:52] Okey, sorry, but as i said, i'm knew and dont know anything at all, so im sorry for my hasty questions [04:52] <[dcr]> use that Cymorph xD [04:52] \\dog [04:52] Thanks alot, i will check it out! [04:52] must have missed it hazard. [04:53] Newbuntu2: hmm I googled a bit and found more places with it not working, but not in your manner [04:53] k well... basically my install was screwed entirely... jimmygoon was trying to get me to the repair console and I only now just got there... any ideas how to proceed? [04:53] Cymorph, i cant help u with ati drivers, they are not that easy to install, not as easy as nvidia anyway, check ubuntu forums for help on ati cards [04:53] travisat: the source is here: ftp://lx10.tx.ncsu.edu/pub/Linux/drivers/USB/ [04:53] TrustNoOne: Ok, i will check it out, thanks! [04:54] Cymorph: a good guide (wish it were better written, but) is http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [04:54] travisat: I did have it working on my laptop at one point, using 7.04 (the machine it's on is 7.10), and I don't remember doing anything fancy, so I do think it's that xpad thingy. Is there a way to kill/maim/hurt it so it will go away? [04:54] not really on repairing an existing installation, just dont forget to run apt-get remove [04:54] I use DownThemAll! plugg-in for FireFox. Is there a good download manager, or similar that is non-GUI i.e SSH only? [04:54] Hey um i accidently locked myself out of webmin lol, do i have to reinstall to get back in? [04:54] i mean apt-get autoremove [04:55] its on my machine btw [04:55] Newbuntu2: yes you can kill/hurt the xpad.c [04:56] travisat: it still came back after modprobe -r ... is there anything else I should be using? [04:56] nickrud: are you making me paste this for history's sake? The thing chokes at ldap-auth-config. don't trust me or something? [04:56] Newbuntu2: you compiled your own kernel right [04:56] Newbuntu2, try rmmod [04:56] hi,im running ubuntu server 7.10 and I deleted my /etc/bind folder (yes, i know i'm an idiot :P) and now i realised i actually needed it and the stuff in it, reinstalling bind has only given me an rndc.key file, anyway i can all the default files back? [04:56] travisat: just a fresh 7.10 & compiled the new drivers, nothing else. [04:57] ubuntu have network tv [04:57] im use gsopcast no cant [04:57] subsume_: no, you mentioned that you couldn't go on the internet with your install, because dhcp wasn't working for some reason. Those are static inet setups, so you can get on line and I can help you troubleshoot [04:57] tyguaike, say what? [04:57] bluefox83: it still comes back when I plug it back in [04:57] one thing I can say is not to compile from source no matter if you have the tools or not unless you really are a seasoned linux veteran. [04:57] gsopcast [04:57] Newbuntu2: ok with the xpad driver loaded put up a paste of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices [04:57] Newbuntu2, what are you trying to do? [04:57] "You just have to go there (Restricted Drivers Manager) and enable the "ATI accelerated graphics driver"." - Now.. where do i find that? "RDM" ? [04:57] you can really screw up your kernel by doing so. [04:57] nickrud: I just don't know all the ins and outs of this network (subnets, IP, etc) [04:58] subsume_: ok, do you use a router? [04:58] <[dcr]> Okay guys I just wanted to note that I got my Mouse working in VMWare if anyone else has a problem as such just message me >.< [04:58] nickrud: I believe so [04:58] nickrud: I suck when it comes to networks. Yeah, I'm sure a router is involved. [04:58] travisat: for some reason I cant get my panel to look like his http://fratrip.deviantart.com/art/Aurora-Leopard-Suite-77225475 Mine: [04:58] subsume_--> and you were using ubuntu for 4 years you said earlier? [04:58] can't use gsopcast ? [04:58] Newbuntu2, are you trying to keep a driver from loading when you plug something in? [04:58] n8tuser: dear god no. I'm not a masochist. [04:58] travisat: Mine: http://gallery.ny-dev.com/showphoto.php?photo=1532 [04:58] n8tuser: that is not helpful [04:59] who help me [04:59] travisat: that is the panel BG that the eheme came with [04:59] drakcrab I have been using linux for awhile and I have no problem compiling programs from source [04:59] Newbuntu2, if that's the case, add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist as "blacklist " [04:59] bluefox83: yes. I have a custom driver I compiled for a USB data acquisition device, and "xpad.c" suddenly found a new calling in life, namely to bug me [04:59] subsume_: if you can boot your windows box, the numbers can be gotten from it's network setup [04:59] Cymorph, go to system > administration > Restricted drivers manager [04:59] darkcrab I have been using linux for awhile and I have no problem compiling programs from source [04:59] travisat: how is his shadow so thick and his panel isnt see through either [04:59] travisat: I don't have that file [04:59] Cymorph, beware those restricted ati drivers dont always work, but u can give that a shot [04:59] yup, no reason to worry about it shadow if you know what your doing. [04:59] nickrud: I don't have a windows box. [04:59] network television ? [05:00] subsume_: neither do I :) [05:00] Newbuntu2: damn forgot udeb just asec [05:00] travisat: but lsusb shows: Bus 002 Device 008: ID 09db:0082 Measurement Computing Corp. [05:00] nickrud: I am speaking via OS X. [05:00] Ok, thanks alot guys, will check it out! [05:00] subsume_: hm. There's bound to be network info in osx , open a terminal and type ifconfig . You should get the info we need [05:00] Newbuntu2: lol thanks the id is what I wanted [05:01] darkcrab I have used it for about less than an a year I have used it under emulation via vmware but I hated it [05:01] Newbuntu2: ok i am confused xpad should not be loading [05:01] nickrud: what am I looking for? Found Broadcast but the rest is in 00:1e:bl:ah format [05:01] subsume_: put it up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [05:01] travisat: I thought so too. I think it has something against me. [05:01] darkcrab but when I got my own computer I went to work on making a actual install of ubuntu [05:02] i has a wikipedia. what i do wif it? [05:02] Newbuntu2: I am looking in xpad.c and in the device id section your id is not listed [05:02] actual install is much nicer [05:02] nickrud: http://pastebin.com/m10634078 [05:02] i wonder how long indexing will take [05:03] I'm trying to get OpenSSL installed... another application I'm installing needs it.. I need help. [05:03] Can someone help me on how to sign the Code of Conduct on Lauchpad.net? I can't figure out what is my key id. Thanks!! [05:03] Newbuntu2, what are you hooking up? [05:03] travisat: blacklisting it worked, but I still get (device) not found [05:03] openssl.org doesn't have any download i can find [05:03] ToastGuy: apt-cache search openssl ? [05:03] darkcrab I wanted to see how my favorite windows apps worked under linux [05:03] What exactly is one supposed to be able to do is recovery console? [05:03] bluefox83: A USB data acquisition device, USB-1208FS. The source is at ftp://lx10.tx.ncsu.edu/pub/Linux/drivers/USB/ [05:03] nickrud: nevermind. I am online. it auto dhcp'd this time [05:04] recovery console is equivalent to single user mode [05:04] n8tuser, I can't access /usr/sbin/grub , tec [05:04] ToastGuy: what are you installing, and why are you not using a package? [05:04] hey guys... im having graphics issues... [05:04] Newbuntu2, a data acquisition device? what heck does that mean? [05:04] subsume_: heh. Ok, pastebin sudo apt-get -f install [05:04] technically we are only suppose to discuss support issues here. I got yelled at earlier about it. [05:04] +the [05:04] jimmygoon--> did you happen to have a different partition for /usr ? [05:04] Newbuntu2: really hmm ok I am lost I think I know why the xbox driver is loading, but that won't help, it looks like xpad.c has a catch all for unknown devices, so my only guess is that your driver you installed is somehow not correctly installed or the wrong one [05:04] darkcrab and I found that I can do video/audio editing and it's great [05:04] n8tuser, no [05:04] bluefox83: plug in wires to it, and a program tells me the voltage across it, etc [05:05] zcat[1], i don't think i have a package option [05:05] Newbuntu2, volt-meter? [05:05] jimmygoon--> your /usr/sbin exist right? [05:05] yes [05:05] hi i'm having some sound troubles in ubuntu studio [05:05] whats up maria [05:05] jimmy but grus is in /sbin not /usr/sbin me thinks [05:05] darkcab: well, i recently reinstalled with stuido. i tried setting my deafult soundcard to my SB! live [05:05] ToastGuy: sudo aptitude install openssl or click the box in synaptic [05:06] darkcrab: but when i load hydrogen or ardour, sometimes it wont capture or playback sound [05:06] travisat: drat. I just unpacked and did make & make install on the files, didn't get any errors. Would you mind taking a quick look at the readme in ftp://lx10.tx.ncsu.edu/pub/Linux/drivers/USB/ ? I didn't really get what the guy was going on about... [05:06] ToastGuy: what's the other program you're installing? [05:06] jimmygoon--> my mistake, it is indeed in /usr/sbin/ [05:06] nickrud: how do I pastebin it from a terminal? mutt it to an email addy? i guess? [05:06] Newbuntu2: I am reading it right now [05:06] my graphics are all screwed up... the resolution cant be changed from 800x600... i have an ati x300 card installed... i tried to download the drivers but it couldnt detect the character decoding... can anyone help? [05:06] bluefox83: sort of... but computer controlled, and a lot more fancy. [05:06] subsume_: ah, server. That's right. [05:06] ah, try loading the gstreamer plugins maria. [05:06] darkcrab: today it mysterisouly started working but when i rebooted it stopped working [05:06] subsume install pastebinit and cat it to there [05:06] zcat[1], It's called CreateTorrent [05:06] Newbuntu2, cool beans, sounds like something the Myth Busters would use :D [05:07] darkcrab: how do i do that? haha osrry [05:07] travisat: thanks! I'm doing option 3, btw. It's the usb part. Although I have no clue what the difference between usbhid and libhid is; I went ahead and installed both [05:07] subsume_: you MIGHT be able to do it with a text browser [05:07] jimmygoon--> /usr/sbin/grub does not exist? [05:07] subsume_: sudo apt-get install elinks [05:07] ok, go into synaptic and look for gstreamer, but you need to know which packages to get. [05:07] What a hassle. [05:07] my graphics are all screwed up... the resolution cant be changed from 800x600... i have an ati x300 card installed... i tried to download the drivers but it couldnt detect the character decoding... can anyone help? [05:07] let me see if I can find that page that tells you. [05:07] Newbuntu2: ahhh well modprobing it looks like you are trying to do it with hiddev [05:07] ToastGuy: you building it from source or precompiled binary? [05:07] darkcrab: thanks [05:07] bluefox83: I'm using it to record RPM, throttle position, brakes, temperatures, etc in a car, actually [05:07] n8tuser, well, or at least I can't execute it via /usr/sbin/grub from the recovery console [05:07] jester7: thanks. subsume_ without accurate error messages, it's pointless [05:07] hah, it's like 100k download...it's actually a great thing to have on there anyway [05:07] travisat: as opposed to...? [05:08] Newbuntu2: did you download the latest libhid? [05:08] I typed the relevant parts of the error messages *verbatim*. [05:08] ToastGuy: if you're building it, you probably want openssl-dev [05:08] Newbuntu2: you might have to get it from the source and compile it [05:08] my graphics are all screwed up... the resolution cant be changed from 800x600... i have an ati x300 card installed... i tried to download the drivers but it couldnt detect the character decoding... can anyone help? [05:08] jimmygoon--> in recovery mode, /usr/sbin/grub exist though right? [05:08] "dependancy problems" -- you can read it here or you can read it in pastebin. what is the difference? [05:08] zcat[1] that was the file he needed [05:08] Newbuntu2, are you a mechanic? [05:08] hi guys, i want to full backup of my ubuntu "tar cvf backup.tar /* , but i want to exclude /media/* how do i do that? [05:08] n8tuser, heh, I don't know. the "me" in this case is someone else I'm trying to help [05:08] subsume_: was it less characters than typing "sudo apt-get install elinks"? :p [05:08] travisat: maybe. :) do I use synaptic? is there a particular package? (I didn't get any compilation errors, at least none I noticed) [05:09] jimmygoon--> oh..a third person..hehe [05:09] jester7: and then spending an hour figuring out how to copy from a file into that. yes. [05:09] jester7: his issue is he can't apt-get [05:09] chetnick: delete /media/* ;) [05:09] nickrud: i can apt-get [05:09] Newbuntu2: did you install all the stuff in option 3 [05:09] meh. I guess I can't apt-get. [05:09] ToastGuy: you might need to give it the full path to libopenssl.so if it's not finding it itself [05:09] subsume_: you can apt-get , but get a dpkg error? [05:09] bluefox83: nope. MD/PhD student. but I race a car for fun... and throw a little geek in and you get an onboard computer recording all sorts of parameters... :) [05:09] cirilo: :) or rm -Rf / [05:09] subsume install pastebinit cat and pipe that and it gives you a url nothing easier [05:09] а по русски гворить [05:09] Newbuntu2: might as well try with the one that comes with ubuntu first [05:10] zcat[1], how is that? [05:10] !ru [05:10] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [05:10] margasan: /j #ubuntu-ru [05:10] my graphics are all screwed up... the resolution cant be changed from 800x600... i have an ati x300 card installed... i tried to download the drivers but it couldnt detect the character decoding... can anyone help? [05:10] rowensiv, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [05:10] Newbuntu2, sweet!!!! [05:10] ok thanks [05:10] n8tuser, should the recovery console have access to grub? [05:10] !ru koks [05:10] How should I know? [05:10] bazhang: nice! about the pastebinit...good to know [05:10] In informatics, there are other other repositories than those which Ubuntu and Debian are using for obtaining program packets. How does one call one call the Ubuntu and Debian repositories more precisely in order to differentiate them from e. g. SQL content repositories and others? [05:10] n8tuser, I mean have access to "apt-get"? [05:10] jimmygoon--> am pretty sure it has [05:10] !ru cock? [05:10] bazhang: nice [05:10] subsume_: yeah, I know the problem in general, but details matter. The post install for thel ldap config is failing. But, I want to be sure nothing else is trying to install, there's more info in the output than just the error itself [05:10] jimmygoon--> if not apt-get, i'd try dpkg [05:10] jester7: some guy made a ruby script to do the same but pastebinit is in the repos so why not? ;] [05:10] chetnick: i'm to new to know.. i can't even get my alpine stmp mail to work [05:11] nickrud: encountered this upon dist-upgrade http://pastebin.com/m6ca4cf69 [05:11] Cain_: what are you looking for? [05:11] nothing? [05:11] ill shutup now [05:11] dont worry [05:11] Cain_: then stop with the bot commands please [05:11] travisat: will do. do you mind explaining what the guy means with libhid vs libusb? I didn't get it... [05:11] ToastGuy: somewhere in config there will be an option or switch for specifying the path to openssl, I guess... /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.so.13 [05:11] Hi everyone, I recently installed ubuntu on an external drive. I have set my bios to boot to usb-hdd, but it always boots to my internal drive. Are there any tips or tutorials you guys could give me so I could solve this problem? [05:12] maria: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/musicvideophotos/C/codecs.html [05:12] oaste,stgraber.org/1343 [05:12] ToastGuy: no idea, you have to fumble through the createtorrent docs and find out ;) [05:12] Keegan: where was grub installed? [05:12] is it set to boot before you hdd [05:12] paste.stgraber.org/1343 [05:12] Newbuntu2: I am not that certain on that, and I need to go have a smoke be back in 5 [05:12] http://paste.stgraber.org/1343 [05:12] subsume_: so, this is more serious than I thought. [05:13] zcat[1], thanks [05:13] bazhang: I unplugged my internal hard drive, so it installed to the mbr on the external [05:13] bazhang: The problem is though it doesn't even go into grub, I get no grub errors or anything. It just goes right to the internal hard drive [05:13] Keegan: aha that would likely be the problem then [05:13] travisat: eek! smoking is bad! :) [05:13] ah, well that wasnt a good idea [05:13] subsume_: the keyboard interrupt at the end, was that you doing control-c? [05:14] I'm not sure. [05:14] i will try again [05:14] Keegan: is the external in your fstab? [05:14] nickrud: didn't happen again [05:14] Keegan-> we established this earlier, you have removed your internal and just attempted to boot from external usb and yet it wont, so I suggested update to your bios, and still same? [05:14] nickrud: I get E: subprocess /usr/bim/dpkg returned error code (1) [05:14] subsume_: 'it' being? [05:15] nickrud: I dunno what the keyboard thing was. [05:15] hey all, how do I determine what directories Synaptic is installing programs to? [05:15] Grifte1: all different directories. [05:15] amenado: Yes I updated my bios and still the same. [05:15] i dont get why there is no mach64 dri driver built [05:15] subsume_: no problem, just wanted to see. Ok, run sudo apt-get -f install [05:15] griftel, right click in synaptic, properties, and it will tell you. [05:15] bazhang: I'm not sure, if its not how could I add it to my fstab? [05:16] !find mach64 [05:16] File mach64 found in sh:, apt-file:, command, not, found [05:16] nickrud: that _was_ the output of apt-get -f install [05:16] per program [05:16] Shadow420: what does that mean [05:16] Keegan-> if your bios would not boot from usb, umm nothing that I know of can make it happen.. [05:16] subsume_: good. What preceeded it (that is, post install, pre install, pre remove, post remove,) and followed: /var/lib/cache/apt/ [05:17] http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html Keegan this link may help [05:17] you could try updating your bios [05:17] nickrud: ??? [05:17] anyone know the best way configure alpine to send mail... using a smtp?? [05:17] subsume_: I need error messages. [05:17] nickrud: What would you like that I haven't given you? [05:18] !mach64 [05:18] How should I know? [05:18] how do i know if hal is running ? [05:18] bazhang we tried earlier, remove his internal hd, and just boot off of his usb, and he cant, he said he updated the bios, and still cant.. so my conclusion is now way he can boot from usb lest his bios allows him to [05:18] !mach [05:18] !find mach64 [05:18] File mach64 found in sh:, apt-file:, command, not, found [05:18] darkcrab: that didn't seem to help me. i noticed that in hydrogen if i changed the audio option to "alsa" that it worked, but i need everythign set up to worjk with JACK so i can use Ardour [05:18] subsume_: dpkg returning error 1 only tells me that dpkg had an error. You mentioned ldap, the pastebin you gave me said it was squid having the problem. What we do depends on what the actual error is. [05:19] nickrud: encountered this upon dist-upgrade http://pastebin.com/m6ca4cf69 [05:19] dpkg returns almost nothing new [05:19] pleaseh old [05:19] Hello... I just upgraded to hardy today, and I must admit the X setup has me baffled. [05:19] maria, go to systems>administration>restricted drivers manager and tell me if you see anything there. [05:19] darkcrab: thanks, I found where the package was located on the file system [05:19] no problem griftel [05:19] displayconfig-gtk doesn't seem to write a Driver line to xorg.conf. Where can I check what it is setting? [05:20] Newbuntu2: ok im back [05:20] darkcrab: "your hardware does not need any restricted drivers" [05:20] steintr: hardy in #ubuntu+1 [05:20] k [05:20] Frogzoo: Thanks. [05:20] what is your sound card called maria? [05:20] SB! Live [05:20] travisat: any ideas on how to trouble shoot this? [05:20] nickrud: dpkg just fails at 'setting up' [05:21] before I get this bterm thing. [05:21] do you know the exact number of the card or is it literally sb! live [05:21] I checked the configure log... I'm trying to understand what I'm looking at... can someone explain why my SSL is not working... http://pastebin.com/m39b41478 [05:21] darkcrab: btw, the problem I was having with my soundcard had nothing to do with the open source drivers. There was a conflict with the motherboard's embedded audio. [05:21] I am guessing the bterm thing is ubuntu's bash. [05:21] Newbuntu2: ok did you download all the stuff from the readme and install it? [05:21] can anyone tell me how to make my machine running gutsy automatically connect to my wpa network? [05:21] ahhhh that makes sense griftel [05:21] darkcrab: i'm not sure, all i know is it is called "SB! Live" or "SB Live!" [05:21] travisat: alnost [05:21] subsume_: you haven't installed http://www.bterm.org/ by chance? [05:21] k give me a sec. maria. [05:21] <[dcr]> Whats a good screen recorder for Ubuntu? (Something like hypercam?) [05:22] subsume_: setting up 'package name' 'post installation script' returned error sucha and such. That's more detail that I need [05:22] nickrud: If I knew how to get this information, I certainly would not hide it from you. [05:22] Newbuntu2: I think you also need to install libhid0 [05:22] Keegan: I would defer to amenado on this as he is way more knowledgeable in ubuntu/linux; your bios may indeed have that limitation [05:22] ok.. been a while sense I've been on iRC. At one point someone told me how to do inline spell checking in chatzilla, but I can't remember. Anyone know how? [05:22] how do I limit the memory size for a user on ubuntu server? [05:23] nickrud: when I attempt to dpkg --configure -a I get 'Setting up ldap-auth-config... then Unknown terminal: bterm and then it dies. [05:23] after much more output. [05:23] In informatics, there are other repositories than those which Ubuntu and Debian are using for obtaining program packets. How does one call the Ubuntu or Debian repositories more precisely in order to differentiate them from e. g. SQL content repositories, implementation repositories and others? [05:23] it says 'dependancy problemes' [05:23] blah blah blah. [05:23] Here you go Maria: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=161817 [05:23] benny_: not sure about chatzilla but xchat has it by default [05:23] darkcrab: thanks [05:23] I have a string that represents an equation such as '(x+2)*4' and I want to generate a plot of that equation for x ranging from 0 to 10, how do I do this? [05:24] bazhang: ah.. maybe that's what I used last time.. oops. [05:24] is there an app that turns a pdf file into a bunch of jpegs or png's for me? [05:24] travisat: synaptic doesn't find libswig.. is that important? [05:24] Emilian: edit /etc/security/limits.conf [05:24] norty: is this excel/open office related or just #math ? [05:24] Newbuntu2: maybe, I don't know [05:25] bazhang, its matlab [05:25] hallo! gibt es einen deutschen ubuntu channel? [05:25] bazhang, #math is an irc channel for math help?!?!/ that would help me for skool like the days b4 tests lol :D === CR_cwek_Toket_Gd is now known as coJKT_cR_TTm_36B === coJKT_cR_TTm_36B is now known as CR_cwek_Toket_Gd [05:26] hey everyone, need some help configuring Adobe Flash for Opera, searched the msg boards to no avail [05:26] hal-device-manager crashes for me ! [05:26] moppen: /j #ubuntu-de [05:26] Newbuntu2: if stuff doesn't work you will have to compile it yourself and install it [05:26] did you use adobe flash from the adobe website mt330 [05:27] I put everything I can find and it all installed nicely. When I compiled the driver it also behaved nicely... [05:27] yeah, i d/l it and it "installs" but still cant go to any flash-powered site [05:27] subsume_: the truth of the matter is, I need more info. [05:27] are you sure you installed it to the correct directory [05:28] mt330404-> i have similar luck so far like yours..none.. [05:28] did you use the tar.gz to install the flashplayer? [05:28] im a little newbie.. idk much about directories or the such [05:28] nickrud: you keep repeating and repeating that but you aren't explaining how I can get you that info [05:29] nickrud: instead of repeating that again, can you please direct me how to get what you would require from my system? [05:29] im just trying to get an idea of what you did. [05:29] thats all [05:29] mt330404, are you talking about repositories, or directories [05:29] nickrud: some installation log somewhere? Where? What path? [05:29] subsume_: pasting the complete error instead of 'blah blah' [05:29] nickrud: I pasted you the complete errors! [05:29] we are talking about directories trustnonone [05:29] Newbuntu2: you there? [05:29] thats the thing, im not getting a physical error [05:30] this was a manual install [05:30] the flash video just shows up as a gray box on the window [05:30] you wont mt [05:30] im not being a dirck here [05:30] if you installed it in the wrong place [05:30] i tried every which possible install [05:30] did you use the tar.gz? [05:30] subsume_: not from the apt-get -f install. The one you gave me earlier is some info, the command I asked for gives me different, complementary info. [05:30] nickrud: for some reason doing 'dpkg --configure -a > dpkg_error.txt' is simply exiting instead of pasting the output into the file [05:30] travisat: yes, still trying to figure this out. still no ideas [05:30] <[dcr]> Bleh, I need some help with VMWare, I cant get it to detect my wireless card(built in), is there something that I missed when setting it up? :( [05:30] NO. THAT IS FROM APT-GET -F INSTALL [05:30] As I said 3 times already! [05:30] caps subsume [05:31] Newbuntu2: well after reading the documentation it should of worked without all these extra stuff with hiddev somehow your device is not being recognized [05:31] subsume_: it says right in it that it's from dist-upgrade. Line 14. [05:31] i guess i'm one of those borderline adopters of ubuntu, i think linux would have more appeal if it didnt complicate such simple installations as Flash and other plugins, etc [05:31] nickrud: NEIN. PLEASE SEE ABOVE. APT-GET -F INSTALL [05:32] Newbuntu2: um are you using the 1208ls? [05:32] !caps | subsume_ [05:32] subsume_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [05:32] travisat: the 1208FS. it works in windows with the manufacturers' software, I just tried it [05:32] mt330404-> i tried many times myself to make that work but zip results... [05:33] im gonna light ubuntu on fire [05:33] :[ [05:33] nickrud: when I attempt to dpkg --configure -a I get 'Setting up ldap-auth-config... then Unknown terminal: bterm and then it dies. after much more output. it says 'dependancy problems blah blah blah. This is not enough [05:33] with a plethora of gas [05:33] nickrud: http:paste.stgraber.org/1344 [05:33] it could be opera and ubuntu [05:33] <[dcr]> !pastebin | subsume_ [05:33] subsume_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:33] later [05:33] [dcr]: gee should have spoke sooner. [05:33] <[dcr]> subsume_: please post your errors and show them exactly so they can help you easier. [05:33] the most important thing with installing flash is making sure you install it in the opera home folder [05:33] [dcr]: i have been for an hour. please read up. [05:34] darkcrab, thanks for your help [05:34] how do i exactly do that [05:34] travisat: could it be that the test program is looking in the wrong place? maybe ubuntu puts the USB devices somewhere else?? (I'm only testing it with the test-usb1208fs program) [05:34] np [05:34] what happened to ubotu? [05:34] i dont mean to sound do new but the forums make it sounds too confusing [05:34] <[dcr]> subsume_: You know what? I haven't been here I've been busy, now calm down and restate the situation. -.- [05:34] nickrud: I just went through all the steps again with apt-get -f install and pasted it again for your viewing pleasure. [05:34] subsume_-> no you have not pasted the exact errors, you are skipping things, i have been watching your post [05:34] subsume_: TERM="xterm" sudo apt-get -f install [05:34] hmm theres two, interesting. nm then [05:34] did you install opera from the web or through synaptic? [05:34] web [05:35] !readup [dcr] [05:35] How should I know? [05:35] is their a way to set my terminal to autocopy highlighted textg [05:35] <[dcr]> Lol? [05:35] well, first thing I would do is check their website, otherwise you might want to look in your directories. [05:35] been to their site, no success [05:35] how do i do directories [05:35] <[dcr]> subsume_: did you post the error and share the pastebin link? [05:35] nickrud: same error except for vterm instead of bterm [05:36] mt330404-> what do you mean do directories? [05:36] [dcr]: only twice now. yes. [05:36] [dcr]: Had to pastebin the same thing because people think I am leaving things out of my problem for some derranged reason [05:36] its most likely [05:36] /usr/lib/opera [05:36] i lack the concept of directories, i mean ive read the forums but i dont understand how it works [05:36] can anyone PM me and explain sending mail thru alpine's SMTP settings? [05:36] i checked that directory but never found an /opera even though i know i have the prog, i use it all the time [05:37] subsume_: sorry, forgot again you were on a server. TERM="linux" apt-get -f install [05:37] <[dcr]> I dont see where you posted the pastebin link subsume_ [05:37] <[dcr]> o.o [05:37] mt, you probably did not install it there when you made the manual install [05:37] mt330404-> same concept as a file cabinet, different drawers, witin drawers are folders..within folders perhaps subfolders and so on [05:37] nickrud: hmm..... seemes to have worked [05:37] which is probably part of your problem. [05:37] where would i look to find a guide on how to install ubuntu using a large usb device instead of a cd or dvd? or a guide for a net install? [05:37] [dcr]: hah, he has, a few times [05:37] [dcr]: dunno what to tell you buddy. I pasted it twice. want it again? http://pastebin.com/m6ca4cf69 [05:37] <[dcr]> Ah okay [05:37] woops [05:37] that's not it. [05:38] subsume_: I grepped thru the logs, the first time you pastebined that you didn't use my nick it got lost in the scroll [05:38] thats why for people new to linux, its best to use synaptic [05:38] travisat: are you still there? [05:38] nickrud: ah. happens [05:38] ok wait, i found the folder [05:38] because it does all the installing for you. [05:38] nickrud: Anyway... strangely that seems to have worked. [05:38] <[dcr]> subsume_: dunno what to tell you buddy, cept no one will want to help someone giving the people trying to help an attitude. [05:38] Newbuntu2: well I am totally at a loss and I don't know if I can do anything more without actually having your device, as with most things with linux either it works or it doesn't and if it doesn't it could but can be very hard to get to work. I think your device might actually be blacklisted in the hid-core stuff but I can't find it [05:38] i do synaptic but i dont understand how it works, i kinda got thrown into this whole linux thing wihtout a lot of explanation [05:38] subsume_: not strangely, I finally got the error ;-) [05:38] [dcr]: !pastebin [05:38] i want to adopt but need a boost [05:38] Godzilla2-> how do you need to install ubuntu into usb ? [05:38] nickrud: restart...? [05:38] Godzilla2-> do you need to install ubuntu into usb ? [05:39] mt with synaptic, you put a check mark next to what you want, when your done checking all the things you want, you click install [05:39] its that easy [05:39] no, i need to install it to a hdd on an ide cable [05:39] subsume_: If you like. You said you were in a dist upgrade, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:39] i searched within synaptic for flash and never could find what i needed [05:39] but i wish to use a usb device instead of a cd or dvd [05:39] nickrud: apparently ubuntu doesn't use dist-upgrade..... [05:39] you cant get flash with synaptic right now unfortunately. [05:39] theres my proh [05:39] i mean you can [05:39] prob [05:39] but its not that stable [05:40] Godzilla2-> ahh good, i have something for you..if you want to try [05:40] i read a while back that it was possible with debian, and ubuntu is based on debian from my knowledge [05:40] I think its called flash-nonfree [05:40] or something [05:40] all i know is that i love ubuntu right now and i just want to be able to watch flash videos [05:40] amenado sure [05:40] please help [05:40] darkcrab: flashplugin-nonfree? [05:40] nickrud: meh. same problem. system still won't log me in [05:40] yea, thats it starnes [05:40] Godzilla2-> okay, do you have a partition that is ext2 and not ext3? [05:40] nickrud: I also notice LDAP doesn't start even though I installed it. [05:40] mt330404: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:40] subsume_: how did you get in the last time? [05:40] who knows, give it a shot mt, maybe it will work for you. [05:40] i can set it up if its not [05:40] travisat: do you think this is an issue: "1. Need to be root or have the program run suid unless one configures with /proc/bus/usb/XXX/XXX file with hotplug." [05:40] nickrud: rescue disk [05:41] do i type flash-nonfree in terminal? [05:41] no no [05:41] mt330404: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:41] in terminal [05:41] go system>administration>synaptic [05:41] subsume_: have you tried the recovery mode boot? [05:41] nickrud: sshd doesn't start either. [05:41] nickrud: .... rescue a broke system, you mean? [05:41] Newbuntu2: when you plug in the device it should be recognized correctly and not as an xpad so if dmesg is not saying it is there it isn't there to use [05:41] Godzilla2-> you'll probably asking why ext2? im asking same to ubuntu builders..but somehow i can only copy liveCD iso into an ext2 to boot and not from ext3 [05:42] subsume_: no, hit escape when you see starting grub, you'll see a recovery mode option [05:42] ext2 is for older systems. [05:42] mt330404: flash plugin is called flashplugin-nonfree [05:42] ext3 is for newer systems [05:42] travisat: but /prog/log/messages shows it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59106/ [05:42] ext3 is just journaling [05:42] Godzilla2-> can you put my nick as prefix to your response or i will miss totally [05:42] i plan to install the latest stable build of ubuntu server [05:42] ext3 should be default for everything pretty much [05:42] !who [05:42] on hardware thats about 10 years old [05:42] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:42] how can I disable my cardbus slot? [05:42] ext3 is a lot faster but more resource intensive [05:43] amenado yes [05:43] ext2 is less resource intensive and not as fast. [05:43] hey, Guys! [05:43] darkcrab i tried the copied liveCD 7.10 from ext3 and it would not boot.. [05:43] Godzilla2: you'll need 256 meg ram, might be an issue [05:43] Newbuntu2: its showing an xpad connecting if you rmmod the xpad you still won't have the correct driver loaded to use your device [05:43] !tab [05:43] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:43] does anybody use Ktorrent here? [05:43] Newbuntu2: when you connect it should load the right driver [05:43] darkcrab ill use ext2 [05:43] use the alternate CD amendo [05:43] lol irssi r0x [05:43] Frogzoo i have 192 :( [05:43] darkcrab: "no package selected" when i search flash-nonfree [05:43] * jester7 agrees about irssi [05:44] in synaptic [05:44] darkcrab i want to use liveCd so next time a new update is available i can just copy to hdd and boot again [05:44] Newbuntu2: ok rmmod the xpad then modprobe usb-1208fs [05:44] mt330404: flash-plugin-nonfree [05:44] unless you have a really old system, I highly recommend you use ext3 [05:44] travisat: so when it says usb1208fs it's just reading what it is, not actually loading it? (I did take care of xpad by blacklisting it) [05:44] Godzilla2: you might be ok, but you'll probably be swapping a lot [05:44] Godzilla2-> okay now, do you have that ext2 ready? have about 6-8 gigs ready [05:44] prince: didnt work either [05:44] nickrud: gives me more output when i'm starting up but when i attempt to login as root for maintenance, same thing. freezes on login [05:44] mt330404: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:44] darkcrab 400 mhz, 192 ram, 8 gig hdd [05:44] Newbuntu2: lsusb only gives the descripters off the device, not what drivers or anything else that is loaded [05:44] and then says 'login didn't work after 60 seconds' [05:44] also, noticeable, neither SLAPD nor SSHD start [05:45] ah yup, you could definitely utilized it god [05:45] subsume_: in rescue they don't [05:45] travisat: is doesn't recognize the module "usb-1208fs" [05:45] Newbuntu2: but try to modprobe usb-1208fs or usb1208fs [05:45] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:45] amenado is the ext2 partition going on the usb device or the hdd [05:45] sry nvm [05:45] mt330404: that's it [05:45] Godzilla2-> hdd [05:45] nickrud: even in normal boot they aren't [05:45] subsume_: is this using ldap as the user database? [05:45] not working for me prince, do i have to exit all progs first? [05:45] allow me to do so [05:45] nickrud: yes but 'files' is selected first so there's no reason it should ignore that [05:46] nickrud: but that isn't the issue because its not even starting [05:46] i have to find a proggy for windows to format to ext2 [05:46] mt330404: exit synaptic. you can't use apt-get and synaptic at the same time. use one or the other [05:46] amenado, I dont understand, when an update comes up all you have to do is click a button and it updates you. [05:46] travisat: neither is there. nor is "pmd". I think the module is called something else, though... I'm looking through the readmes [05:46] thank you for speaking in such clear terms prince! brb lemme try [05:46] why do you want to do it your way? [05:46] Godzilla2 the Ubuntu Live CD has a format program in it [05:46] subsume_: when you said you were using the rescue disk, explain how you were using that [05:46] darkcrab im referring to downloading the entire iso [05:46] prince: got another error msg [05:46] darkcrab and boot it off a hard disk [05:47] mt330404: why dont u just simple download flash player on adobe site? [05:47] nickrud: I was putting the ubuntu disk in and selected 'Rescue a broken system' [05:47] i was updating ubuntu and when it finished it had errors, when i reboot ubuntu wont run anymore. im using live CD how do i fix it? [05:47] Newbuntu2: run "sudo updatedb" that will take a bit then you can do locate 1208 and you should find out its name [05:47] flash-plugin-free is already the latest version [05:47] i don't have X11 and I need to add the cdrom to apt's sources for gusty; there is nothing on the web that will help me, can someone here help me? [05:47] tried it rodrigo [05:47] nickrud: then I guess it chrooted me to / [05:47] im going to go search the wiki, because this isnt how i did it before [05:47] subsume_: ok. I certainly hope it did, I haven't used that mode [05:47] nickrud: when I normal boot, those services are missing. [05:47] ah I see [05:47] nickrud: I think it did. I have 3 kernels available in GRUB and the latest one gives me that [05:48] mt330404: ok, that means it's already installed [05:48] how to i direct the plugin to the right place?> [05:48] subsume_: go back into the rescue disk, and confirm what your root is [05:48] I swear its / [05:48] anyone know a program that will convert wmv to other video formats without a lot of messing around? [05:48] and by / I mean my normal boot device [05:49] anyone know how to add cdrom to apt's sources.list in gusty without using X? [05:49] Godzilla2-> here is what i did, i created two ext2 partitions, 1 gig for the copy of livecd iso, and 5 gig for the install, [05:49] Guys, what can ssh-scan be used for? [05:49] i was updating ubuntu and when it finished it had errors, when i reboot ubuntu wont run anymore. im using live CD how do i fix it? [05:50] ive never heard of doing that except with vmware amenado [05:50] !ssh-scan [05:50] How should I know? [05:50] Because there's a lot of copies of it running on my server, and I'm not sure if I got hacked or something [05:50] mt330404: this is to view flash in a web site, correct? [05:50] phuzion, it finds hosts on the networking running ssh on port 22 i think [05:50] hah, ok, i guess not [05:50] subsume_: of course it's / , but is / the correct partition (and I nearly missed your reply) [05:50] anyone know how to add cdrom to apt's sources.list in gusty without using X? [05:50] prince: yes [05:50] nickrud: yes. its the correct one [05:51] darkcrab, i did not do a dist upgrade, i went from 6.10 to 7.10 nothing in between [05:51] linux689438, mind explaining why I have about 50-80 processes of it running at once and bringing my server's load to around 100 then? [05:51] subsume_: ok. su to a user [05:51] can i update my ubuntu installation usong live DC? [05:51] mt330404: you can autocomplete my nickname by hitting the tab key after the first few characters (prin) [05:51] CD* [05:51] phuzion, maybe each scan is taking a thread? [05:51] mt330404: that way your response gets highlighted on my end [05:51] prince_jammys: didnt know that, also new to the IRC chatrooms.. haha. thanks [05:51] oboy03: no [05:51] Hmm, how do I count the output of grep? I'm gonna see how many of these I have going [05:52] mt330404: much better :) [05:52] what is usong oboy? can you restate that? [05:52] i was updating ubuntu and when it finished it had errors, when i reboot ubuntu wont run anymore. im using live CD how do i fix it? [05:52] oh using [05:52] Newbuntu2: well I am stuck sorry I couldn't help you to get it to work [05:52] prince_jammys: just trying to view flash videos in opera, did all the basic stuff which doesnt seem to work [05:52] nickrud: if the rescue disk even does such a thing, which i am inclined to doubt [05:53] can i still rescue my installed ubuntu? [05:53] anyone know how to add cdrom to apt's sources.list in gusty without using X? [05:53] oboy03: how is it not running anymore [05:53] subsume_: you broke down during a dist-upgrade, right? [05:53] travisat: doesn't find any module... thanks for the help. I'll keep trying@ [05:53] nickrud: actually, i can su to a user [05:53] mt330404: ok, i'm going to look in the web to see if there's any special requirements for opera. does flash work in firefox? [05:53] nickrud: yes. specifically in installing squid (which i don't even need or know what it does in my network) [05:53] if i reboot it stops at the splash screen [05:54] mt330404: if you have firefox installed, see if you can play a flash video in there. [05:54] Anyone know how to force an application to open fullscreen on monitor two of a dual monitor setup? I'm trying to get fceu to open on my TV fullscreen and not my computer monitor. [05:54] subsume_: ok, sudo apt-get remove --purge squid [05:54] seems to load only 5% and that's it [05:54] oboy03: in grub on your kernel selection hit e then e again then go to the end of the line and remove splash hit enter then hit b [05:54] flash doesnt work for firefox [05:54] !flashissues [05:54] The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » [05:55] prince_jammys: flash doesnt work for firefox [05:55] ok [05:55] nickrud: did so. [05:55] mt330404: ok, and flashplugin-nonfree is installed, correct? [05:55] subsume_: do the dist-upgrade again [05:55] prince_jammys:yes [05:55] nickrud: but I didn't think ubuntu used disk-upgrade [05:55] subsume_: it does [05:56] subsume_: it's freaking apt ;) [05:56] nickrud: not what install notes say.... [05:56] linux689438-> yes you can, modify /etc/apt/sources.list [05:56] subsume_: and that is ... [05:57] nickrud: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades scroll to Network upgrade for Ubuntu servers [05:57] prince_jammys: yeah it's installed, i dont understand where the disconnect is [05:58] subsume_: your choice. You can use that, or the dist upgrade . Whatever, complete what you were doing [05:58] nickrud: my gives me 'no new release found' [05:59] subsume_: do you have gutsy listed in /etc/apt/source.list ? [05:59] nickrud: your way gives me 0 packages to install [05:59] *sources.list [05:59] Hi all, is there a way to map a folder as a physical device in linux? say.... /home/crshman/data --> /dev/sdb? [05:59] prince_jammys: what browser do you use that works with flash [05:59] crshman: yes [05:59] crshman for what purpose would that be? [05:59] nickrud: yes [05:59] crshman: mount /dev/sdb /home/crshman/data [06:00] crshman: you would have to make the folder data first [06:00] i run vmware server on the box and i want to map that "physical device" into a vmware virtual machine [06:00] will the /dev/sdb show up as a physical device though or just another folder? [06:00] im running an aes encrypted install of ubuntu. i had to remove the splash parameter in the line that begins with kernel in the grub conf file because with it ubuntu begins to boot but the screen goes black and hangs there. i want to fix it so i can boot with a gui. can anyone help me with this ? [06:00] subsume_: ok, that's cleared up. You don't have an incomplete upgrade. So, that brings us back to server issues. [06:01] subsume_: so, on to ssh. You said that it's not starting, how are you determining that? [06:01] mt330404: firefox. i'm looking around the web to see what could be the problem [06:01] nickrud: on startup i don't see itand i can't ssh in when its up [06:02] mt330404: in the meantime, try the following: sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonpfree [06:02] !paste [06:02] prince_jammys: i appreciate the help [06:02] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:02] can anyone help me out [06:02] mt330404: paste that command into a terminal and let me know if there's any errors [06:02] e: couldn't find package flashplugin-nonpfree [06:02] mt330404: there's a typo, it's flashplugin-nonfree [06:03] subsume_: ok, type sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start (don't have the server installed on this machine, don't remember the exact script name) [06:03] Hey there ive tried to reinstall WebMin on my LAMP gutsy box, ( i locked myself out first time), but im getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59109/ how do i correct this? [06:03] prince_jammys: e: couldn't find package flashplugin-nonpfree [06:03] mt330404: tip: you can also use the tab key to autocomplete package names. i made a typo, there's an extra "p" in the package name. look [06:04] nickrud: from rescue mode i am guessing? [06:04] i still got problem with my ubuntu [06:04] subsume_: sure. [06:04] prince_jammys, not seeing your typo [06:05] mt330404: flashplugin-nonfree (i wrote flashplugin-nonpfree with a "p" before free) [06:05] prince_jammys, oh ok lemme try [06:05] subsume_: you do have the net back up, right? I'm assuming you're in on line in that, as you said way back when [06:05] nickrud: yes... well hard to tell from normal boot mode but frmo rescue, yes [06:05] can I get the "World Clock Applet" from Hardy into Gutsy? [06:06] how can i fix this problem?: i finished updating ubuntu with errors, i tried to check if it were broken package, but not i can't even open terminal or synaptic, when i reboot ubuntu stops until that orange loading bar then nothing happens. [06:06] mt330404: just type flashplugin-(tab key) and it will complete it for you [06:06] has anyone installed ubuntu with an encrypted partition [06:07] nickrud: starts normally [06:07] Does anyone know if it's possible to get higher quality drivers for ubuntu? [06:08] subsume_: this brings us back to login, then. Are you able to log into ssh remotely? [06:08] J-a-k-e: for what? [06:08] nickrud: just attempted. it hasn't refused but its not giving me a promtp [06:09] haha, ment to say sound drivers [06:09] nickrud: attempting to ssh times out [06:09] how can i fix this problem?: i finished updating ubuntu with errors, i tried to check if it were broken package, but not i can't even open terminal or synaptic, when i reboot ubuntu stops until that orange loading bar then nothing happens. [06:09] nickrud: maybe my ip address isn't the same?? [06:09] prince_jammys: still no result although i installed something i evidently didnt have before. does this require a system restart? [06:09] J-a-k-e: don't know.. I don't use sound much. [06:09] I need to upgrade the program "dnsmasq" in dapper... but it is not in the repopsitories. packages from other releases have dependency errors. Please help :) [06:09] Hey there ive tried to reinstall WebMin on my LAMP gutsy box, ( i locked myself out first time), but im getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59109/ how do i correct this? [06:10] is it time for another fresh install? [06:10] subsume_: ifconfig will tell you show your inet addr [06:10] i've got a creative xtreame audio card and music sounds 1/2 as good compared to windows [06:10] mt330404: no, it shouldn't. but you should restart the browsers, if you haven't [06:10] i did [06:10] prince_jammys: i did [06:11] what_if: you have the dnsmasq that's in dapper already installed? [06:11] mt330404: strange [06:11] nickrud: yes, has a *major* unfiex bug though [06:11] mt330404: is this is a new ubuntu install? i mean were you ever able to see flash in ubuntu? [06:11] prince_jammys, no [06:12] nickrud: I can ssh in but it doesn't put me in my home dir [06:12] what_if: are you sure the bug hasn't been fixed? /usr/share/doc/dnsmasq has a changelog. If its not, you'd have to compile it yourself [06:12] how can i fix this problem?: i finished updating ubuntu with errors, i tried to check if it were broken package, but not i can't even open terminal or synaptic, when i reboot ubuntu stops until that orange loading bar then nothing happens. [06:12] prince_jammys, installed ubuntu gutsy about a week ago, no probs til now but never able to see flash [06:12] subsume_: look at /etc/passwd [06:12] im so clueless, except for another fresh install [06:12] nickrud: has not been fixed yet. [06:12] nickrud: what about it? [06:12] subsume_: is it ok? [06:12] nickrud: perfectly [06:13] prince_jammys, running a sony vaio laptop VGN-A150 if that matters [06:13] oboy03: have you ever reached the installed desktop? [06:13] travisat: I got it to work.. [06:13] bazhang: no [06:13] nickrud: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/47438 [06:13] Launchpad bug 47438 in dnsmasq "Dnsmasq crashes when renewing non-existent lease" [Medium,New] [06:13] bazhang: only upto the orange loading screen [06:13] oboy03: what video card and driver, what ram and cpu etc [06:13] travisat: I'm running the test program as sudo and it worked... !! [06:13] Newbuntu2: lol how [06:13] Newbuntu2: hahaha all that work [06:13] someone here ( nickname mt330404 ) has installed flashplugin-nonfree and is still unable to view flash videos in both opera and firefox. any suggestions? [06:13] Newbuntu2: well have fun with it [06:13] fx5500,1gig ddr2 1.5mhz athlon zp [06:14] subsume_: then I'm inclined to think it's some interaction between your ldap config and authentication. And I don't know ldap in the least. [06:14] flashplugin-nonfree is probably broken again... [06:14] travisat: do you know what could be doing that? I don't care running it as root if I have to, though [06:14] zcat[1]: how do you mean? [06:14] bazhang: i think the problem was with the updates, but im not sure [06:14] oboy03: this is the livecd correct? you might try with the acpi=off boot parameter or just try the alternate install cd which is text based--is this ubuntu only or a dual boot? [06:14] Newbuntu2: no idea, I guess it was one of those things with persmissions to /dev/hiddev?? stuff [06:15] nickrud: recommend removing ldap server? [06:15] subsume_: I'd try that myself [06:15] can anyone help me out [06:15] bazhang: ubuntu only [06:15] bazhang: i already install ubuntu [06:15] travisat: ah, probably. thanks for the help, anyway! [06:15] adobe keep changing the package so the md5sum doesn't match, so ubuntu won't install it 'cos it's might be 'corrupted' [06:15] bazhang: and i already updated the important security updates [06:15] oboy03: then either the acpi=off boot param or using the alternate cd to do it [06:15] oboy03: did you try it with splash off, if splash is off you should be able to see where it stops, also splash can make a system not boot [06:16] !flash [06:16] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:16] anyone got the workaround for when flash is broken? [06:16] bazhang: im not sure what that means [06:16] mt330404: this is the 32bit ubuntu or the 64bit ubuntu install? [06:16] guess you cant... [06:16] travistat: i tried it but still it stops at the orange loading screen [06:17] prince_jammys, i386 [06:17] why is flash so terrible on GG?> [06:17] oboy03: what loading screen, you should see a bunch of text then the login screen [06:17] travistat: before that happend i was updating, then it had errors, tried to open terminal, it said it cant find terminal and also synaptic [06:17] or is it my ati card? [06:17] adobe are asshats, why can't they give the linux download version numbers or something and leave the older ones where they are so this doesn't happen.. [06:18] travistat: the one with ubuntu logo [06:18] indeed oboy03 you should try travisat's suggestion as well if you dont want to use the alternate cd [06:18] bazhang: mt330404 it's 32 bit [06:18] bazhang: so what should this do? will it get to the desktop at least? [06:18] nathanial: no, it's a problem on adobe's end [06:18] prince_jammys, ok never knew that but its good to know now [06:18] oboy03: you didn't do what I said, in grub you have to edit the boot options, in grub you have to do this every time, you can change a file later to make it do it this way all the time, but you hit e, e, delete the splash from the line, then enter and b [06:19] prince_jammys: thanks! [06:19] bazhang: is there any hope for this [06:19] i have to use the live cd to edit partitions for the one my linux uses right? [06:19] enter and b at the same time? [06:19] since you cant unmount a partition thats in use [06:19] nathanial: indeed, just need to be patient until someone gets to you [06:19] oboy03: no you hit enter then b [06:19] can someone help me out ? [06:19] ok i'll try again [06:20] also ive been thinking about taking this old emachine and loading ubuntu server on it w/o a monitor is there anyway to manage from another computer on the network? [06:20] sorry to ask about other software, but is anyone using a blog application for blogger.com? Am wondering if there is an offline app that will sync etc? [06:20] * bazhang wonders if subsume_'s opinion of #ubuntu will change after this marathon of help [06:21] * abortd wonders if he will get help with this partition problem today [06:21] captine: firefox has an extension called blogfire that is nice; not sure if that has what you are looking for [06:21] whats the kill command for a program in utliltles [06:21] anyone know a program that will convert wmv to other video formats without a lot of messing around? [06:22] back in a minute [06:22] nickrud: no change with ldap gone. [06:22] nickrud: maybe there is some misconfiguration with pam? doesn't that do the login? [06:22] PLESAE [06:22] mrpockets: killall? [06:22] mrpockets: killall nameofprog [06:23] killing in the name of prog [06:23] IT DOESNT WORK :( [06:23] mrpockets: what prog? [06:23] firefox [06:23] subsume_: yes it does. Also something I'm not familiar with anymore. pam only broke on me once, way back when debian put up a broken package. [06:23] can anyone help me with making my current partition smaller? [06:23] im being rick roll'd :( [06:23] mrpockets: killall firefox-bin [06:23] hi [06:23] fuckall [06:23] thank you [06:23] bipolar? [06:23] hah === SeanChiang is now known as SeanChiang_monke [06:24] Hey there ive tried to reinstall WebMin on my LAMP gutsy box, ( i locked myself out first time), but im getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59109/ how do i correct this? === SeanChiang_monke is now known as SeanChiang [06:24] one guy can't get flash to play and the other guy is desperately trying to kill a flash vid, heh [06:24] no solutions for flash on Opera in gutsy? [06:24] womp womp [06:24] lol [06:24] i have a computer with 4 hdds with lvm, I had another hd with the os installed and i used to mount the volume, but the hard disk with the os died, will i be able to recover the data from the lvm disk? [06:25] it was running feisty i think [06:25] nickrud: http://kerneltrap.org/node/1838 does the bottom comment on this link make any sense? [06:25] abortd: what filesystem [06:25] ext3 my what my ubuntu sits on [06:25] think its ext3 [06:25] mrpockets: language please [06:25] let me check [06:26] abortd: i think you can make that with a parted live cd or something alike [06:26] you can't resize mounted partitions though [06:26] fr500, it cant be unmounted while in use so i use live cd right? [06:26] mt, right click top or bottom bar, at to bar, search for files [06:26] type in opera [06:26] and the ubuntu live cd comes with gparted i think [06:26] abortd: yes, you should backup your data prevoisly [06:27] ah nah not too worried this is a fresh install [06:27] and find where opera is [06:27] hi, i in stall ati driver from ati website and follow instruction in this page " http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide " but at end not working anyone can help me ? [06:27] then open the folder [06:27] thanks though fr500 [06:27] abortd: no it doesn't but you can install it on the livecd, just edit your sources.list uncomment repos and apt-get update; apt-get install gparted [06:27] and make sure flash is installed there. [06:27] if its not, install to that folder [06:27] people : is there any opensource alternative for accounting /inventory Management system for small enterprizes ? [06:27] fr500, well when i installed ubuntu it came with a partition editor [06:28] subsume_: heck, it can't hurt anything. [06:28] and when i tried to install gparted it was the partition editor [06:28] abortd: yes but it's not full featured [06:28] oh [06:28] mt330404: do you have any special personal firefox settings? [06:28] oh well maybe i don't remember [06:28] :P [06:28] i install from the alternate installer most of the time [06:28] has anyone installed ubuntu with an encrypted partition [06:28] as i use lvm [06:28] prince_jammys, i dont even use firefox, i use opera, but i guess all firefox settings are default, i never use it [06:28] hehe im trying to get windows to run again hehe [06:29] i dont think i ever dual booted but once [06:29] mt330404: do you have any personal bookmarks in firefox? [06:29] i have a computer with 4 hdds with lvm, I had another hd with the os installed and i used to mount the volume, but the hard disk with the os died, will i be able to recover the data from the lvm disk? [06:29] prince_jammys, no [06:29] mt330404: last question: do you use mozilla thunderbird? [06:29] auser: you might try gnucash [06:30] prince_jammys, no [06:30] travistat: did that, here's what it showed: run init: /sbin/init no such file... kernel panic not syncing attemted to kill init [06:30] fr500, the hard drive with the data you want isnt dead right? [06:30] abortd: right [06:30] then you will be able to [06:30] hi [06:30] abortd: but i have never mounted LVM volumes not created in that system [06:30] oboy04: your system is borked [06:30] hm [06:30] broked? [06:30] mt330404: ok, since we're stuck, try this: first, close firefox if it's open. then, open a terminal and do: mv .mozilla mozilla-backup [06:30] time to try [06:30] i don't remember names and such [06:31] what system is it? [06:31] abortd: yeah maybe with live cd [06:31] travistat: what could have caused it? [06:31] abortd: ubuntu of course [06:31] ext3? [06:31] yes [06:31] you should be able to with live cd [06:31] mt330404: that command will move your personal firefox settings, so firefox won't see them [06:31] travistat: did ubuntu update cause it? [06:31] prince_jammys, firefox hasnt been open in forever but i will do what you say [06:31] does windows recognize ext3? [06:31] no [06:31] oboy04: I would guess hard drive failure off hand, did you do a normal update or dist-upgrade [06:31] abortd: with some plugin i think it can [06:32] mt330404: the folder will be recreated when you start firefox again [06:32] normal update [06:32] that would be your best bet then i think [06:32] travistat: i was using 7.10 [06:32] abortd: i don't think lvm works in windows [06:32] mt330404: note that there is a DOT before mozilla in the first "mozilla" :: mv .mozilla mozilla-backup [06:32] travistat: could it be that the hard disk is faulty? [06:32] it's an ex3 partition spanned across 4 120gb drives [06:32] subsume_: you here?

I'm using x386 so i can't try it [07:13] hey guys.

[07:23] prince_jammys, but opera remains to be seen.. your help has at least made flash in firefox work [07:23] If anyone likes to new, the solution to be able to mount LVM volume is the command "vgchange -ay".

[07:33] hello, is it possible to download packages and then put those packages on drive where ubuntu installed and then install? Because I dont have internet connection on machine where my ubuntu was installed? [07:33] i don't know what grub is i get the "starting up... loading please wait..." then i get the erroe [07:34] Oliver8: yes it is. but dependencies will be problem i think [07:34] I'm trying to access files on my Windows machine using SAMBA, but I'm getting roadblocked with passwords... it doesn't seem like It will work [07:34] what is the error seth?

[07:35] uzumakinaruto, yes, it could be, and I think I can provide DIAL-UP connection, and I think I can download packages small size, and big packages I would download somehere else? [07:35] well not that i know of [07:35] uzumakinaruto: yeah, but I heard that NTFS write in linux is not very safe, right? Since the data on it is important, so... [07:36] hmm [07:36] I'm trying to do something like $> myapp smb://myfile-to-process.txt [07:36] Oliver8: yes, but it is a rather tedious process. dependencies can go on and on. What package are you looking at really? [07:36] !NTFS [07:36] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [07:36] or more like $> myapp smb://MyServer/myfile-to-process.txt [07:37] uzumakinaruto, I want to install netbeans and eclipse I think [07:37] and java jdk, jre [07:37] huge dependencies with those [07:37] Question: Does Gutsy run as a "live" disk? I need to check hardware on this laptop. [07:37] yes skippy [07:37] it does [07:37] livecd [07:38] !livecd [07:38] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [07:38] bazhang, and which of those are the biggest packages in size? [07:38] Excellent. Vista is horrid. Pretty. But horrid. [07:38] Oliver8: yes, huge deps there.. maybe you can just use the downloads from the sun site. [07:38] uzumakinaruto, yes, and how to install it from Synaptic? [07:38] Oliver8: that is not really the issue [07:38] K. Thank you very much. Now to see if this disk I just burned burned as an ISO or as a data disk. [07:39] bazhang, with 36 Kbps it is [07:39] thats alright for dial up [07:39] daave: NTFS has been through a lot of testing. its pretty reliable now. If you dont use files greater than 4 GB, you can use a fat32 instead [07:39] hmm, I'm running Memtest, and it's showing failing memory, several addresses at 861.9MB, several more at 888.6MB, would those likely be on the same memory stick? [07:39] Oliver8: that is not really what I meant; the dependencies on those packages are fairly large so the chances of successfully installing them the way you propose are next to nil [07:40] uzumakinaruto: I see, thanks. [07:40] uzumakinaruto, for example, I donwload this: http://mirrors.dk.telia.net/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/n/netbeans5.5/netbeans5.5-platform_5.5.1-2_all.deb , and where to put it and what else I have to do to be able to install from synaptic ? [07:40] bazhang, nil ? [07:40] can i restart gnome from the command line? [07:40] bazhang, have you tried 8.04?what is it like [07:40] Oliver8: If all deps are already satisified, you can just double click. [07:40] seth, all I have been able to find out so far seth is taht your getting the black screen of death, basically a kernel panic that means that the system is having an internal error, but it can be recovered from. === Thanatos is now known as cE_blk_ckUla [07:41] #ubuntu+1 for that icesword [07:41] pyrak, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [07:41] without like restarting all my programs [07:41] :( [07:41] pyrak: ah no then [07:41] uzumakinaruto, and after that I can see that package INSTALLED in Synaptic?

[07:44] i didn't follow the directions and thats what i did wrong [07:44] it means that you can fix your system from the live CD [07:44] Oliver8: yes, it is possible. You can find quite a few web resources about that. But note that universe is about 10-12 GB [07:44] thought it was the alt cd that had rescue mode not the live cd [07:44] i jsut guessed my way through it [07:44] darkcrab, my system is okay [07:44] ToastGuy: "rescue" [07:44] darkcrab, I just want to access my windows files from a command line [07:44] it's an anagram [07:45] apparently live CD does too.

[08:45] ifup wlan0 gives me "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0" [08:45] i tried sudo mount -a and still no sign of my cd rom drive [08:46] icesword, i tried sudo mount -a and still no sign of my cd rom drive [08:46] Question: I want to setup my computer so that I can ssh into it from a remote location (typically from my laptop which is running windows xp). How do i do this? (I am running ubuntu 7.10) [08:46] !ssh [08:46] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [08:46] where can i find the thunderbird installation directory? [08:46] onefunk, run mount,see where is it [08:47] mike_, it seems that the only thing I've done is to setup flashplugin-nonfree and it seems to just work [08:47] norty: insteall oe...i cant hit backspace... install p...bah...install openssh-server [08:47] haii [08:47] norty: sorry, but my terminal (which i use for irc) is currently broken so hitting backspace doesn't work right [08:47] abhi_, Thunderbird program file or where it stores your mail etc? [08:48] Gatton: where it stores my Mail [08:48] abhi_, you should have a .mozilla-thunderbird folder in your home folder. it'll have a folder with a crazy name like 2kvy2985.default etc [08:48] hmmmm... ok [08:49] hello [08:50] I just did modprobe rt73..how do I start up the wireless networking now? [08:50] does anyone what package i have to install in order to have the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions (like in centos/redhat) [08:50] macogw, i get an error when trying to install openssh-server, here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59113/ [08:50] mhm mplayer hangs with 'GNOME screensaver disabled' until I wait about a minute or hit control + c, any way to fix this? [08:51] hai abhi [08:51] Can someone help me with this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59113/ [08:51] norty: that's not openssh-server's fault. that's because you interrupted postgresql's installation. [08:51] norty: you have to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to finish it [08:52] norty: interrupting an installation is a bad idea [08:52] macogw, I wasn't trying to install postgresql, i already installed that yesterday [08:52] norty: it looks like you didnt finish the postgres install yesterday [08:52] norty: i mean, the error's complaining about postgresql, not openssh-server [08:53] norty, try following a setupguide for postgres [08:53] norty: though i'm not sure why it's owned by not-you... [08:53] macogw, i understand, but postgresql works and is installed correctly, i deleted a bad version of it right before i installed a new version so that could be the problem but i did the command and it gives me the same errors [08:53] macogw, postgres has it's own user for security [08:53] KR-data, i did, i followed it step by step and finished the installation [08:54] norty: the "bad version" is still there then [08:54] norty: or its configuration is still there [08:54] hi... i can't upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10, any suggest ... ? [08:54] yo2k__: explain [08:54] macogw, i bet the config is still there, how do i find it and remove it? [08:54] norty: you should use the package system to uninstall software, you must not go about and just delete the files [08:55] macogw: audo apt-get dist-upgrade, do nothing [08:55] magnetron, i didnt i did apt-get purge remove.. etc [08:55] Ok so I just managed to do the impossible and stuff up my partitions with gparted. Seems I can nolonger get the "used" of my main ntfs partition, and therefore can't resize it. Ideas?? [08:55] macogw: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [08:55] yo2k__: do you get any errors? in what way does it not work? [08:55] yo2k__: well youd have to change the sources.list first, but dont do that. use the update manager. it has special checks so things dont break [08:55] i use a main server [08:55] yo2k__: gksu "update-manager -c" [08:55] yo2k__: that doesnt matter [08:55] I can't get my wireless to work..is it possible to install a hardy heron kernel to try that? [08:56] macogw: i try that... [08:56] macogw: gksu requires gtk [08:56] yo2k__: if you do a command line dist-upgrade, you have to change the sources.list to the new version's repos, but it doesnt do any checks [08:56] magnetron: so? [08:56] magnetron: ubuntu includes it... [08:56] macogw, regardless of the postgresql error, how do i get openssh-server, i did that command and it didn't install anything [08:56] macogw: he's on a server [08:56] fragged: do you have "stop xscreensaver" checked in mplayer preferences? [08:56] norty: you cant install anything until you fix the postgresql [08:56] magnetron: oh he is? he didnt say that... [08:56] macogw: he did [08:57] magnetron: where? [08:57] i use a main server [08:57] magnetron: uh huh....i think that means the main repo [08:57] legend2440, yes [08:57] magnetron: because i said he'd have to change his sources.list [08:57] yo2k__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [08:57] macogw, ok how do i fix the postgresql error, i think i didn't delete the config files, where might they be located? [08:57] fragged: does unchecking that help? [08:58] norty: not like that [08:58] magnetron, i try that... thank's... [08:58] norty: uninstalling does not mean deleting the files [08:58] norty: deleting files will NOT solve your problem [08:58] norty: thatd be a *bad* idea and maybe break worse [08:58] It does, but it'd be preferable to have the screensaver disabled while playing the movie and then enabled again afterwards. [08:58] macogw, i understand but i have another postgresql installed and its the same version, i dont want to get rid of that... [08:58] norty: to uninstall postgresql and remove all it's configs: "sudo aptitude purge postgresql" [08:58] i use update manager, after open gui dialog and download 2 file and ... do nothing, the gui is close [08:58] Hey can anyone recommend a good way to subscribe to an RSS feed of torrents and have the feed automatically download the files? [08:59] need to reinstall, have /boot, /, /usr, /var,/home and swap. Which do i format and which do i keep. [08:59] like, uTorrent does, ideally.

[09:01] atlef: and at that point no point in reinstalling :P [09:01] magnetron: still not work... [09:01] norty: its still trying to finish setting up postgresql... [09:02] !doesn't work > yo2k__ [09:02] norty: are you sure "sudo dpkg --configure -a" doesnt help? [09:02] macogw: thx [09:02] macogw, yes i did that command [09:02] magnetron: yes, i follow that screen, but after finish in 'preparing...' then close... [09:02] magnetron: no error warning or ... [09:02] macogw, it gives me the same error about trying to install postgresql 8.1 [09:02] norty: i have no idea how to undo what you broke. all i can say is never try to delete files as a makeshift uninstall. [09:02] cens0red:So cool [09:03] macogw, i didn't i always used apt-get or aptitude.. [09:03] macogw, can i use synaptic package manager to manually remove them? [09:03] magnetron: i use in laptop acer aspire 1400 [09:03] norty: what was this "bad version" thing? [09:04] norty: did you delete the postgresql user? [09:04] macogw, i messed up some config files and i couldn't remember how to fix them so i wanted to uninstall and reinstall [09:04] hello [09:04] macogw, yes and then i made a new one [09:04] anyone knows about bluetooth and pand ??? [09:04] norty: and when you tried to uninstall and reinstall you didnt know that uninstalling doesnt delete config files? [09:04] macogw, i guess i knew that but thought reinstalling would overwrite them [09:04] I just did modprobe rt73..how do I start up the wireless networking now? [09:04] norty: ok in the users & groups thing, try making your postgresql user be # 112 instead of whatever it is now [09:05] :] [09:06] macogw, how do i set a user id.. ? [09:06] fellas [09:06] norty: you're on a normal gui system, right? [09:07] norty: not a server with all command line? [09:07] yes [09:07] norty: go to system -> administration -> users & groups [09:08] norty: and bear with me because i think the tool is slightly different on my computer since i'm running the development version of ubuntu [09:08] norty: manage groups [09:08] norty: click on postgresql [09:08] norty: then properties [09:08] norty: and set the group id number to 112 [09:08] norty: it should at least be *close* to those names for the buttons [09:09] im running a realvnc server on my vista laptop, but for some reason i cant connect to it from my ubuntu laptop, with krdc, anybody knows why? [09:09] i have disabled firewalls etc. [09:10] Daniel, try telnet laptop-ip-number 5900 and see if you get any kind of vnc message [09:11] hello [09:11] can any see this? [09:11] how do I install the ati restricted graphics drivers? [09:12] !ati | lesshaste [09:12] lesshaste: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:12] macogw, i tried that but everytime i set it and then go back in to look to see if it stayed it goes b ack to its original id which is 1001 [09:12] hi, everybody [09:12] could please somebody ... give me a hint,,, on why i can't start install of ubuntu for 32 bits procs on an amd turion x64 ? [09:12] prince_jammys, thanks.. at one point ubuntu offered them to me [09:13] prince_jammys, but it doesn't anymore [09:13] hey guys, where are you from? [09:13] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> dfstefan, dl the i386 livecd and install from it [09:13] i did ... [09:13] it doesn't start [09:14] rosebuntu: there's 1130 users here, that might take a while [09:14] i mean ... i get the screen with start or install ubuntu and rest of options [09:14] Does anyone know how i can change the UID of a user? [09:14] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> dfstefan, then what happened? [09:14] but when i hit enter on options .. it starts loading untill a point and then it freeses [09:15] norty: its actually a group ID i think [09:15] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> dfstefan, try the safegraphic mode? [09:15] norty: it doesnt save? [09:15] macogw, no [09:15] same [09:15] norty: weird...but it does ask for your password, right? [09:15] i have ordered the cd ... and then downloaded a version [09:15] same result on both cd's [09:16] macogw, yes, when i click on the postgres user it says UID is 1001 and its grayed out and i can't change it, but when i go to manage groups and click on postgres and i change the group UI it changes but when i close everything and go back it goes back to 1001 not 112 [09:16] norty: but the GID stays 112? [09:17] norty: or do both go to 1001? [09:17] dfstefan: you may need alternate or mini-iso install [09:17] norty: because 1001 usually means *you* [09:17] hum ... where can i get those from ? [09:17] macogw, the GUI that change goes back to 1001 and the UID of postgres stays 1001 the entire time [09:18] norty: try creating a user with id 112 [09:18] maybe [09:19] Hello everyone. Is there a way I can enable remote desktop to let me access a computer remotely, i.e. through VNC, but at logon screen, not being necessary to logged in and enabling remote desktop from that account? [09:19] dfstefan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:19] jimcooncat, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD this is good ? [09:19] norty: is there currently a user with id 112? [09:19] :) thank you [09:19] no [09:19] just edit the group file --- done -- 2 secs [09:20] prince_jammys, ok i created the user and now it says the group 120 doesn't exist anymore.. [09:20] just edit the group file --- done -- 2 secs [09:20] dfstefan: yes, it takes a long time, for the actual installation; but less overall than dl the full install then installing. [09:20] little while after boot my usb suddenly stops working. its annoying to use historical ps2. I've searched solution from forums and lists but havent found any. [09:20] norty: eek [09:20] hey... does anyone know how to use the package mit-scheme-dbg [09:21] i see. thank you [09:21] i will try that [09:21] I have installed it .... but couldn't figure out how to use it [09:21] dfstefan: If possible do it at work or school where you'd have a second computer to look up questions or get back here for help [09:21] use your fav editor and edit /etc/group [09:21] doing that now ... i am at home [09:22] thank you jimcooncat [09:22] hey... does anyone know how to use the package mit-scheme-dbg [09:22] dfstefan: you've already seen there might be something stopping you, so expect a glitch somewhere. yw [09:22] eh [09:22] norty: might as well try the install/uninstall you were doing earlier [09:22] but ,,, i don't understand why the x64 version worked [09:23] insmod, ok that worked now my error is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59116/ [09:23] .. grr [09:23] dfstefan: I can't either. is it hardy, gutsy, or dapper? [09:23] gutsy [09:24] dfstefan: no clue, I installed gutsy 32 on an amd64 just fine [09:24] looks like you should just start it manually [09:25] dfstefan: maybe some wierdness with the display drivers [09:25] i have an asus f3tc laptop [09:25] if thar=t works move it later in the rc file [09:25] with nvidia geforce 7300 video card [09:25] insmod, what? [09:26] norty: it keeps trying to start postgres after it tries to configure it, he suggested starting it so it doesnt try to do it [09:26] dfstefan: that sounds reasonable. the install you'll do is more manual, so you'll see more of the error messages that might give you a clue if it binds up [09:27] the rc.d init failed -- no biggy just start it in init.d then redo a good rc file if it works [09:27] insmod, sorry i dont konw what you mean - im a linux newbie [09:27] macogw, ok how might i do that? [09:27] norty: i dont know what he's talking about now [09:27] dfstefan: did you try the different boot options by hitting the Fn keys from the livecd menu screen? [09:27] i just gaved it another try ... changed the display to max it allowed me when pressed F4 [09:27] norty: i thought he was talking about doing "sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start" but maybe not [09:28] seems it passed the load screen [09:28] hi there is there any 3d games for Ubuntu 7.10 [09:28] the one with horizontal bar [09:28] norty, you got any data worth saving? [09:28] now ... it's a black screen [09:28] rouini [09:28] yes [09:28] ls /etc/init.d [09:28] world of padman.com [09:28] jimcooncat, now i have everything backped up in a txt file [09:29] comment les gars??? [09:29] 1 step forward lol [09:29] can give me the name of any 3d games [09:29] insmod, this is the error it says in the log file : 2008-03-10 04:22:27 CDT FATAL: could not access private key file "server.key": Permission denied [09:29] ya [09:29] insmod, ok i did ls /etc/init.d .. what now? [09:30] norty, you should just reinstall then after purging everything. sudo aptitude purge postgresql && sudo aptitude install postgresql [09:30] rouini: frets on fire [09:30] and if it works just redo a new rc file [09:30] rouini: its like guitar hero [09:30] rouini: wow [09:30] Mais personne ne parle fancais ici??? [09:30] !fr | znlchicay [09:30] znlchicay: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [09:30] jimcooncat, i tried purging but im getting this error and its not letting me purge [09:30] rouini: i use an Xplorer 360 to play it :) [09:30] norty maybe postgres isn't shutting down? [09:31] Ok merci [09:31] rouini: i assume Quake, Doom, and Unreal Tournament are 3D. they're all linux-native [09:31] thank you so much [09:32] rouini: you can play some Windows games in Wine too. I know World of Warcraft is popular among Ubuntu users [09:32] rouini: open arena, also [09:32] jimcooncat, postgres isn't running [09:32] rouini: Tremulus for aliens v. humans [09:32] norty, what's your error please [09:32] macogw, any ideas ? [09:32] norty: what about trying to reinstall it and then remove it? [09:33] jimcooncat, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59116/ [09:33] rouini: http://www.linux.org/apps/all/Entertainment/3D_Games.html [09:33] prince_jammys, its already installed [09:33] norty: yes, but the installation is messed up apparently [09:33] but for some reason i am getting an error when i try to install other stuff [09:33] prince_jammys, if i could just purge and remove everything related to postgres and reinstall that is what i want to do [09:33] prince_jammys: it's a permissions problem because of some config files that were changed. can't purge the config files now though :-/ [09:33] do you know KLDP? [09:34] macogw: what aaout trying to reinstall the package, and then purge it? [09:34] sudo apt-get -f install [09:34] my computer is amd 64 dual core is my computer support such games [09:34] norty: that's a startup error, not one you'd get from trying to uninstall [09:34] prince_jammys: well he's already reinstalled it once... [09:34] ah [09:35] i thought he reinstalled and then messed with the config files [09:35] insmod, i keep getting the same error when i tried that command [09:35] prince_jammys: he said he had a "bad version" (the version where he broke the config) so he uninstalled and reinstalled hoping itd overwrite the broken config [09:35] insmod, it seems to error when its trying to start up, how might i get it from trying to start right away? [09:35] norty: why do you use insmod? [09:36] ? [09:36] insmod is a nickname here [09:36] AMD is the best in games or Intel [09:36] Does anyone know where does apt-get -d (download only) stores the packages? [09:36] sudo apt-get install postgresql [09:37] permissions must be hosed somewhere, reinstall seems only real recourse. but you have to purge your old setup [09:37] HinHin: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [09:37] rouini: this is OT [09:37] erawfish_, ;) thanks [09:37] insmod, ok that installed a new version of postgres.. [09:37] :) [09:37] insmod, now what? should i try to purge everything now? [09:38] rouini: your graphics driver is more important for games than cpu [09:38] I bought a new 5 + 1 sound system but It doesnt give sound under Linux. I tried in Windows and it works.

[10:40] it is said alsa is not latest technology [10:40] macogw: it worked .. now 'free space' option in main install window is 4367 mb, it made a new one /dev/sda2 swap 1003 mb .. used:unknown .. so i choose free space again .. and format it to ext3 ?

Does anyone know how to fix this? [10:41] dmesg shows no errors [10:41] kadakas, if livecd works?and how do you install [10:41] Linux_Fresher: because you dont know how to trust computers due to too much time spent using windows [10:41] livecd works [10:41] kadakas: run memtest [10:41] everything starts working when i restore /etc [10:42] macogw: :) [10:42] macogw: so i go ahead and choose 4367 mb free space and click new partition i guess [10:42] Linux_Fresher: yep [10:42] macogw: first swap one was primary , so this one becomes logical or it can remain as primary too ? [10:44] i have a problem using ice0.4 in ubuntu .... can somebody help ?Here my question : whatever i do when trying to run ices -c /usr/local/etc/ices.conf.dist i get : Could not find a valid playlist file. [10:44] macogw: and mount point drop list was empty .. so i have put "/" there without quotes [10:44] For some reason I cant open links from my IM client or XChat or even from my file browser (FE: open with Firefox). Any ideas? [10:44] macogw: will click OK after u reply to both above :) [10:44] someone know why Dapper default kernels does not boot in virtualbox? [10:45] Linux_Fresher: that drop list never works for me either, you did it right, though. [10:45] Why does Firefox not delete the cache folder in /home whenever I oder it to do so? [10:45] order* [10:45] pajamian: and the first option ? i have selected 1 gb swap partition as primary , so this second 4 gb one becomes logical or it can remain primary too ? [10:45] Linux_Fresher: primary too. yes, that's fine. go ahead [10:45] macogw: cool .. soz i thought u went afk [10:46] Linux_Fresher: I usually put my swap partition at the end. [10:46] Anyone? [10:46] Linux_Fresher: i was helping someone with htm [10:46] Linux_Fresher: with html, i mean [10:46] Tooommi: you can set it to do so every time you quit firefox, including cookies, history passwords, etc [10:46] bazhang: that's what I'm doing, but the cache is not deleted [10:47] macogw: np m8 :) .. clicking Forward key !! [ i have butterflies now !! slowly i am sailing away from the sea of viruses malwares spywares and crappy WinDoz Os!! ] [10:47] Linux_Fresher: you can make it primary or logical, it shouldn't matter. That said, if you might end up with more than 4 partitions total then you need to create an extended partition and have some of them be logical (no more than 3 primary) [10:47] Tooommi: you are quitting firefox and a window does not come up? [10:47] Tooommi - Firefox has its cache folder in the ~/.mozilla dir. the ~/.cache folder is used by another app [10:47] pajamian: he's only gonna have 3 total [10:47] then it doesn't matter [10:47] hi, is it possible to suspend to ram when your root device is on a USB device ? [10:48] pajamian: excellent explaination :) [10:48] danand: okay. I thought it would be the firefox cache since it's in /home/.firefox/cache [10:48] .mozilla/firefox my bad [10:49] hello, i want automatic login and startx, how can i do this? i want to run openbox without an login manager [10:49] bdgraue: you don't have to run startx in a default ubuntu install and it's trivial to set it up with an automatic login. [10:50] macogw: omg .. big list of Migrate Documents and Settings .. its asking me all stuff from my windows installation .. do i need any of these ? [10:50] bazhang: a window does come and the box with 'delete cache' is checked but it does not delete it [10:50] pajamian: its not an default installation [10:50] macogw: i guess not .. going ahead [10:50] pajamian: in an default ubuntu installation i have an gdm as login manager and i will do it without an login manager [10:50] Linux_Fresher: nope [10:51] Linux_Fresher: just skip that [10:51] right, even at the login screen the laptop disables the screen after a while. So the .-files have nothing to do with it. [10:51] macogw: did it !! no hang backs to windowZ !! gonna learn linux as if it was my first OS of life !! === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [10:51] For some reason I cant open links from my IM client or XChat or even from my file browser (FE: open with Firefox). Any ideas? [10:51] Anyone [10:51] so, does anyone know of a script which would do something like jiggle the mouse every minute, to prevent Xubuntu's sleep mode from kicking in? [10:51] Please [10:52] bdgraue: all you have to do in a default install is to go into system menu / administration / security tab and check the box for automatic login and select a user there. [10:52] Linux_Fresher: so now you're at the end? [10:52] hello everyone, I'm a linux newbie using Ubuntu 7.10. Can anyone help with a problem with my monitor resolution? Thank you! [10:52] pajamian: but that uses the gdm [10:52] pajamian: and it starts the gdm, but gdm need to much RAM [10:52] bdgraue: yes, but the user won't see it, it will go straight in and log the user in. [10:52] macogw: was wondering if i can skip the password field in "who are you" screen .. i am the sole user of this pc [10:52] cerneula: what card and what driver; how did you install said driver [10:53] hi [10:53] pajamian: its not about what the user will see ;) [10:53] macogw: later on i dont want that OS keeps asking me for my password for every mouse click [10:53] its about my memory [10:53] i have a problem using ice0.4 in ubuntu, can somebody help ? Here my question about ices again : whatever i do when trying to run ices -c /usr/local/etc/ices.conf.dist i get : Could not find a valid playlist file. [10:53] Linux_Fresher: no, you cant. you need that password to allow administrative actions. thats what keeps it secure [10:53] ok, thank you for answering, hold on a second [10:53] ahhh, ok, well, I'm not sure how else to do it. You may be able to find a lighter weight login manager. [10:53] Linux_Fresher: it wont ask for every mouse click. it's not vista. [10:53] haha [10:53] macogw: :) [10:53] Linux_Fresher: it will only ask to install software and change system configurations [10:53] pajamian: i am searching for a way without login manager [10:54] Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller [10:54] macogw: and i guess password can be changed later on ofcourse ? [10:54] without kdm, gdm, xdm or similar [10:54] Linux_Fresher: yes, of course [10:54] bdgraue: ok, I would imagine you can do it, but I don't know how. I wish you luck. [10:54] how do I look for the driver, though? [10:54] Guh, Any ideas as to why my desktop cube will not spin? [10:54] cerneula: is that an older card? what seems to be the problem? [10:54] Tooommi - Is the cache thats being kept from a recent session ? [10:54] Linux_Fresher: leave it to microsoft to steal ideas from unix and not even steal them *properly* [10:55] Linux_Fresher: of course you can change your password whenever you want, and it doesn't prompt for it for every administrative action, if you've approved one recently it remembers the approval and lets you do more without having to type your password. [10:55] macogw: yup .. around 3k usd which went to M$ should have gone to linux :( "Ready To Install" .. checking out the "advanced..." tab [10:55] lol, needed to enable "cube rotate" [10:55] well, when I log into the system, the system has a 1440x900 which doesn't work properly. [10:56] danand: What do you mean? If the cache is from a recent session? [10:56] cerneula: what are the symptoms? black screen or what [10:56] Linux_Fresher: ignore the advanced tab [10:56] Linux_Fresher: just hit ok [10:56] macogw: linux guys dont steal data right ? i mean if they are pure, i can click popularity contest package usage survey [10:57] back in a minute.. [10:57] Linux_Fresher: sure you can. its just to tell which software to give priority to for bug-fixes [10:57] Linux_Fresher: "hmm we have time to fix X number of bugs...what are the X most popular programs?" [10:57] Symptoms: bad colours, bad screen size [10:57] I change that in Screen and Graphics, selecting 1280x1024, eveythings works great then, but when I log out an back in again the screen switches back to the previous resolution... every time [10:58] Tooommi - check the date the files in your /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/..../cache folder. are they recent or old? [10:58] device for bootloader installation (hd0) not touching that one !! [10:58] its installing !! :) :) [10:59] danand: well, they are rather new. 2 days old is the maximum [10:59] macogw: plz pm me your email id, messenger contact everything !! you are such a great help that if i dont find u in this channel, i can still mail you or something !! [11:00] Linux_Fresher: i'm always here [11:00] Linux_Fresher: if i'm not here, i'm walking between classrooms [11:00] ok [11:01] macogw: Fine !! but in few days i will steal your email id for sure !! :P [11:01] how [11:01] macogw: lol j/k [11:01] NET||abuse: i've got quite similar problem. my usb works after boot but after few moments all usb suddenly stops working. i've read forums and stuff, but not found solution. [11:01] oh noes, support stalkers! [11:02] hehehe [11:02] Tooommi - hmmm... strange one. Have you tried using the edit -> preferences --> privacy tab and checking the settings under private data box. you can also press clear now and see if that helps [11:02] I need to get my wifi network card to work [11:02] ciao a tutti [11:02] macogw: so this installation when it finishes its done or needs a few reboots and some more stuff still needs to be done ? [11:02] !LIST [11:02] Chinaski: please don't [11:02] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [11:02] how can i get started? [11:03] Linux_Fresher: itll be done, just reboot into it. there will be about 200 updates waiting for you though [11:03] Linux_Fresher: you will end up with two reboots [11:03] danand: I've tried that at first, then to delete it when Firefox is closed. Both methods does not work. Well, looks like it can't be helped then [11:03] thats all cool 2 is much better than 20 [11:03] danand: I can still delete them in the filemanager I guess [11:04] plus even live cd launches fully operating os in lesser time than windows xp [11:04] Linux_Fresher: you will need to reboot after the initial install and it will come up with your new ubuntu install, then there will be a bunch of updates and since one of them is a kernel update a reboot will be needed after the updates. [11:04] What can I download to open .rar files? [11:04] sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel cerneula [11:04] macogw: kk .. guide me through that after first reboot [11:05] Linux_Fresher: dont need to [11:05] Linux_Fresher: itll just tell you there are updates. you hit apply updates and ignore it for about an hour [11:05] Tooommi - very odd :( - you could always try moving the firefox folder, so that firefox has to create a new one... see if that helps it out [11:05] macogw: aww !! dont u shoo me away half way now !! :P [11:05] how do i clear my downloaded debs? sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb gives me "sudo: unable to execute /bin/rm: Argument list too long" [11:06] hi [11:06] macogw: its that simple ? man, this linux thing seems too good to be true .. there HAS TO BE some pitfall .. [11:06] For some reason I cant open links from my IM client or XChat or even from my file browser (FE: open with Firefox). Any ideas? [11:06] please [11:06] Or rather, what's the Ubuntu equivalent for Winrar? [11:06] file-roller [11:06] Aprilis: unrar [11:06] danand: I think it's not that much of a problem. Then I delete it manually. Thanks for your replies [11:06] joricj, sudo apt-get clean [11:06] Hi folks, I'd like to have compiz running on my machine, it doesn't work with ubuntu but it dos with Mandriva (live) [11:06] Tooommi - np [11:06] pajamian: Shall I just sudo apt-get unrar? [11:07] another question: are the .deb packages in /var/cache/apt/archives still needed? [11:07] cerneula: you still there? sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel [11:07] icesword: thx [11:07] Linux_Fresher: very new ATI graphics cards and Brother printers...and umm...really obscure things like a keychain that's a digital picture frame... [11:07] I'm looking for a good iax2 client for ubuntu - anyone here tried zoiper? [11:07] ok, thank you, I'll try [11:07] Aprilis: yep, though that's a terminal program, there is probably a nice gui one too, but I don't know because I just use the terminal one. [11:07] Aprilis - sudo apt-get install unrar [11:07] anyone know a macdrive equivalent [11:07] Linux_Fresher: oh and you cant pay for software for it on the shelf at the store. you're forced to download it for free ;) [11:07] AutoMatriX: hey, what graphics card do you have :) [11:07] pajamian: Anything that'll open rar files. Thanks! [11:07] ukkopekka, hey, yeh, that's what happens.. usb works for a while,, then just dies, can't get anything back without rebooting.. have you found a way to get usb back at all without a reboot? What model of machine is this happening on for you? I'm on an nx6110 [11:07] onefunk: what is macdrive [11:07] danand: Oh! Thanks! [11:07] I had it already [11:08] StefanW, an nvidia, but pls tell me how to give me more details ? [11:08] bazhang: it is for accessing and using a mac formatted external harddrive [11:08] AutoMatriX: the lspci command in a terminal should give you more information :) [11:08] bazhang, i think he said it is a backup disk of apple [11:08] StefanW, VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M] (rev a1) [11:08] macogw: yeah someone here explained me yesterday about software repository thingy .. i was freaked out .. everything just at your fingertips .. i wonder why windoz didnt steal that trick xD [11:08] cerneula - have you tried setting screen res etc with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [11:08] Linux_Fresher: because you usually have to pay for windows software [11:09] icesword: it seems i still have a LOOOT of used space that i can't account for, what would be the best strategy to find out the biggest files on my harddisk ? [11:09] Linux_Fresher: and if microsoft did that for the free stuff all the for-pay companies would get angry at them [11:09] yes, but I hhave only made things worse [11:09] Linux_Fresher: linux devs dont have to worry about business relations [11:09] joricj: applications -> accessories -> disk usage analyzer [11:09] joricj, no,you don't need ,usual install will take up 2g,openoffice and gnome is biggest [11:10] macogw: yup .. btw are 6 months adequate to be a good user of linux ? so that i will convert my whole netcafe with 30 comps on ubuntu [11:10] AutoMatriX: back [11:10] StefanW, I do believe there's only 32 M of ram on board [11:10] cerneula: could you please install pastebinit? sudo apt-get install pastebinit [11:10] AutoMatriX: I've checked, the restriced driver manager should offer you a driver which will work with compiz [11:10] sure [11:10] macogw, icesword: thx [11:10] i see my mac formatted external harddrive but can't access it [11:11] Linux_Fresher: yeah thats about how long i used it before i was confident enough to start using unstable software (which i dont really recommend you do) [11:11] ok [11:11] joricj: np [11:11] Hi guys, my partition table has died and I have a device-hosted (extended partition) truecrypt volume. I know its location (sector) but I don't know how to mount it. Any ideas? [11:11] the disk user analyzer looks sweeeeet [11:11] done [11:11] macogw: so still ubuntu is kind of unstable ? [11:11] Linux_Fresher: but i have a book called the Linux Phrasebook to learn commands [11:11] Linux_Fresher: no it's stable [11:11] cerneula: then in the terminal cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit and tell us the url it gives you here [11:11] Linux_Fresher: I've seen people convert in less, it depends on how attached to windows you are and what you do. [11:11] Linux_Fresher: i use the unstable development branch [11:11] Could anyone recommend a wifi scanner / manager app? [11:12] macogw: yup i will get that book too [11:12] Linux_Fresher: im using the alpha version right now to try to find the bugs so they can be fixed in time for next month's release [11:12] http://paste.stgraber.org/1372 [11:12] Linux_Fresher: the Official Ubuntu Book is also probably a good choice for starting with [11:12] cerneula: thanks looking now [11:12] Linux_Fresher: thing is, you can always find people to help with any problems in here.

Thus, the kernel requires explicit additional locking for very few additional situations."? [11:23] bullgard4: uses [11:23] bazhang: Thank you very much. [11:24] bullgard4: Try ##linguistics or #ubuntu-offtopic next time around :) [11:24] any musicians? [11:24] ok, done [11:24] cerneula: now reboot [11:24] NET||abuse: same dec 2004 [11:24] c u in a moment [11:24] okay [11:24] Pici: there's a ##linguistics? [11:24] Pici: Stop it. My question is Ubuntu related. [11:25] ukkopekka, that's arse isn't it.. [11:25] that was pretty fast restart .. i am no more in Live CD , i am in ubuntu proper now !! === diplo- is now known as diplo [11:25] ukkopekka, i dunno,, bit pissed off with hardware support just now.. my laptop doesn't even stay in suspend, it turns itself back on after 10 minutes.. how insane is that?? [11:25] macogw: #linguistics, sorry :) [11:25] Linux_Fresher: see the orange rectangle with the white starburst in the middle of it? its in the top right part of the screen? [11:25] NET||abuse: :) [11:26] wb Linux_Fresher and congrats [11:26] Hello [11:26] macogw: yup .. update manager has started .. it also had another icon about restricted drivers, but that text i could not read .. the update manager text overwrote that window [11:26] pajamian: thanks :) [11:26] ukkopekka, i was trying to just leave some articles open and a OOo write document open while i was going to sleep, so i stuck it into suspend,, turn out lights and lie down, then "whuuuuuuush" fans kick off ten minutes later and keep me awake,, stupid thing turns back on.. [11:27] Linux_Fresher: when the updates are done, you can look at that. it probably has binary drivers to get 3D on your graphics card [11:27] I need help regarding updating from Ubuntu 6 > 7, can anyone please please help? [11:27] Linux_Fresher: you'll want to install whatever restricted drivers it recommends, but you can't do it while running the updates. [11:27] !yay | Linux_Fresher [11:27] Linux_Fresher: Glad you made it! :-) [11:27] shahrukh: 6.what to 7.what? [11:27] bazhang: :) [11:27] ukkopekka, need to figure out this usb junk,, and maybe then look at the suspend issues [11:27] shahrukh: you can go from 6.10 to 7.04, but you cant skip releases [11:27] I have ubuntu 6.06 and ubuntu 7.10 CDs [11:28] But the 7.10 CD is corrupt or something [11:28] or maybe thing will be better if i install a clean install from the next major release yeh? [11:28] shahrukh: you need to update one at a time. 6.06 to 6.10 yo 7.04 to 7.10 [11:28] shahrukh: how much ram what cpu [11:28] everyone in this channel including the bot are so cool lol .. THANK YOU GUYS !! ----<(@ [11:28] Linux_Fresher: you'll probably want to install other stuff too depending on what you want to do. I usually install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package and also add the medibuntu repository and install w32codecs and libdvdcss from there. [11:28] RAM = 1GB [11:28] hello again [11:28] shahrukh: then you can go for the 7.10 CD [11:28] pajamian: yup !! now i want everything !! first to dl this 250 megs of basic updates i guess [11:28] bazhang? [11:28] NET||abuse: http://pastebin.com/m13d591e [11:29] cerneula: how did it go? [11:29] ok, now this is very interesting [11:29] Linux_Fresher: its been out for 5 months...there've been a lot of security patches in that time. thats why we dont get viruses ;) things get patched *fast* and *often* [11:29] Well, I can't install directly from the CD, it gives an I/O buffer error [11:29] it did not work, BUT... this time I changed something [11:29] Can I update directly from there? [11:29] cerneula: okay go ahead [11:29] shahrukh: do you have 6.06 installed? [11:29] Yeah [11:29] ukkopekka, yeh, dunno what to make of it.. [11:29] I downloaded multiverse repo from net, and how to burn , I dont know, I mean what dirctory structure should be, shold pool be on root or what? [11:29] I am currently using that [11:29] shahrukh: the 7.10 cd? sure [11:30] pajamian: later on after all basic stuff is done, i am gonna come back here to haunt u with wine !! all games i play are listed as WORKING in appdb of wine, so !!!!! [11:30] yeah [11:30] Its right infront of [11:30] macogw: yup , i wonder if Big Billy has a good retirement plan !! xD [11:30] So, I just update my packages? [11:30] Linux_Fresher: ahhh, np, I know a thing or two about wine, I will give you some tips to make managing the games, etc a lot easier. [11:30] my sound works! :D next thing i would like to fix is wifi: right now i have to open ndisgtk, remove driver, add driver. wifi then works (for the current boot) but in stdout/stderr it prints: module configuration already contains alias directive [11:30] shahrukh: the update manager should have an option for you to upgrade to 6.10 (Edgy) [11:31] pajamian: :) little offtopic but try warhammer .. it PWNZ .. and wait for starcraft 2 !! [11:31] shahrukh: once that update happens you can update from there to 7.04 (feisty) and from there to gutsy (7.10) [11:31] in there is Screen Resolution dialog box, there is a tick box at the bottom, which reads Options -- Use only as default for this machine or something like that in English, I'm using a Spanish interface [11:31] shahrukh: alternatively, wait a month and the next LTS release will happen [11:31] shahrukh: upgrading from 6.06 to 8.04 (from LTS to LTS) will be a supported upgrade [11:31] Linux_Fresher: LoL, I have a few apps I use with wine, but I try not to get into a new game very often or I won't end up ever getting any work done! LoL [11:32] That is nice [11:32] anyone knows how i can fix that situation ? my last question regards beagled/trackerd which somehow i installed them maybe or they got installed when i upgraded to 7.10 [11:32] pajamian: :P [11:32] what it did this time, I rebooted twice was ticking that, and the computer started with the wrong configuration, but after logging in it automatically changed after a couple of seconds to the right configuration! [11:32] I'll just update the required software for now then [11:32] joricj: whats wrong with them? [11:32] Thanks guys [11:32] cerneula: okay good news [11:32] joricj: other than them being silly? [11:32] Is it possible to install KDE 4.1 through apt? [11:32] but why does it do that?? [11:32] Creationist: sure [11:32] Oliver8 - you may want to take a look at the package apt-mirror for help with that [11:32] macogw: i'd like them gone. i don't use them and when i start up they take up 20% of my cpu for about a full minute [11:32] Later then. Rock on! [11:32] Thanks again. [11:33] how can you oblige anyway the system to get the right configuration first time always [11:33] Creationist: best to go to #kubuntu-kde4 though ;] [11:33] macogw: pajamian bazhang okies i am off till the updates finish .. we still call 256 kbps adsl as NEW MASSIVE BANDWIDTH with Very low rate of disconnection here !! :) [11:33] and not do what it wants to do [11:33] (but i don't know which packages they belong to) [11:33] joricj: beagle was part of 7.04. tracker is meant to replace it. you can definitely uninstall beagle [11:33] is KDE 4.1 out already? lol [11:33] joricj: yep, uninstall them [11:33] bazhang: Ah... thanks. DIdn't know that channel existed :) [11:33] thanks a loads for all your time info and support .. especially macogw .. u r a gem to this channel and community [11:33] afk [11:34] LoL, 256k as "new massive bandwidth"? [11:34] joricj: tracker is the name of tracker's [11:34] cerneula: not sure about your question; do you have the correct resolution that you want now? generally on my box there is a slight delay and I get that as well, so not sure what the issue is [11:34] hmm i get no sound in Unreal Tournament 2004. Any ideas? [11:34] joricj: if you type "sudo aptitude remove " and then start typing "track" and hit tab twice itll list all packages starting with "track" ditto on starting to type "beagle" so you can see what all's there that's related [11:35] i can see my mac formatted drive but can't access it. anyone? [11:35] yes I have the right configuration, but by default it has somethign else, and that I cannot change, weird [11:35] macogw: wow ! [11:35] joricj: i <3 bash's tab-autocomplete [11:35] anyway many thanks indeed for your help and your time, I really appreciate it [11:36] * macogw waits for a zsh user to pop up [11:36] pajamian: yup .. we are 'developing' !! but we are working on it :) .. okies seriously afk now !! :D [11:36] okay, but it says: The following packages will be REMOVED: beagle gnome-user-guide libbeagle0 nautilus nautilus-cd-burner ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-docs yelp [11:36] cerneula: well if you have the right config and it stays that way just thank the lucky stars ;] I'm not sure how to explain how that happens though [11:36] (when i tried to delete beagle) [11:36] joricj: wow O_o [11:36] joricj: try apt-get remove, maybe? [11:36] don't worry I'll keep on investigating, THANK YOU!! [11:36] thats what i did [11:36] cerneula no worries ;] [11:36] joricj: hmm ok then...lets just disable them then [11:36] see you around, you guys are GREAT [11:36] good night! [11:37] can anyone tell me how I can get something like a simple database manager or sql console to talk to a MS SQL server via ODBC? [11:37] joricj: system -> preferences -> sessions...make sure they're not listed in startup [11:37] o_O OMG [11:37] <3 [11:37] joricj: never found your startup folder before? [11:38] There seem to be two odbc layers available in the repos - iodbc and unixodbc. I have both installed. I'm not sure what front-end to use, or how to link up drivers etc. If there is a specific forum for this, please redirect me :) [11:38] i just never thought it would be so integrated i figured i would have to dig in .bash_login files etc :D [11:38] i get no sound in Unreal Tournament 2004. Any ideas? [11:40] anyone here tried new *ubuntgrurhyhrhrrrhhrhhjhrhn [11:40] äöå [11:40] påå [11:40] ååå [11:40] guys how can i download some photoes with my kodak camera ? [11:40] anyone here tried new ubuntu 8.4? [11:40] hi i just upgrade to hardy heron in kubuntu and i have strange problem with ugly windows in some programmes [11:40] http://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firestartercq8.png [11:40] vistakiller: does it work good [11:40] eifzon: #ubuntu+1 please [11:40] hello baaaz ! [11:41] vistakiller: same channel #ubuntu+1 please [11:41] hey is there a way to see the photoes of my camera in ubuntu's OS [11:41] ? [11:41] ok sorry [11:41] please recommend me a simple 3d drawing program for Ubuntu - i just wanna sketch cars and stuff without learning how to use a CAD in 6 months [11:42] LollinopiL: depends on the camera; try to connect it and see if it works first [11:42] ok i do it [11:42] VSpike: usually if you want to just manage an MS SQL server I would recommend connecting to the server with rdesktop. If you want to integrate a program with it via ODBC then it depends on the programming language. [11:42] LollinopiL: gphoto is normally useful for anything that isn't just a mass-storage camera [11:42] back in a minute.. [11:43] pajamian: I don't have rdp access to it [11:43] NET||abuse: my friend doubts that my install is corrupted. I checked the cd, but no mistakes. Actually I could not install ubuntu from my dvd-drive (maybe broken) so I had to use an ancient cd-drive. Also the noapic parameter must be used to boot ubuntu. [11:43] pajamian: it's a hosting co's server, so i can only access by ms sql client or equivalent [11:43] VSpike: then I'm not sure how you'd do it. I imagine you can with ODBC but I don't know exactly how. [11:44] pajamian: I'd ideally just like a console that i can type sql into :) [11:44] how can I see the uuid of a given partition? [11:44] pajamian: similar to the one you get with postgres etc === patti__ is now known as PaTeeLA [11:44] ukkopekka, what's the noapic param do? [11:44] VSpike: yep, I know what you mean, I regularily work with postgresql and mysql. [11:44] muty-bg: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [11:44] maybe I don't get these permission things. I can't have a file that's generally non-read/writable, and then have a group of people with read addess and a group of people with read/write access? [11:44] macogw: thank you :) [11:45] pajamian: I use sql server management studio express locally to work with it. I wonder if that would work on wine? [11:45] VSpike: possibly, have you checked the appdb? [11:46] NET||abuse: not sure, but without it kernel panic appears. This is common problem too, but everywhere is adviced to use noapic and nolapic parameters [11:46] pajamian: not yet, only just thought of that. But not sure right away what I would gain. ODBC should be do-able and opens a wider range of uses [11:47] ukkopekka, meh?? have to read up on them i suppose.. see what the heck they are about.. [11:47] not to worry so. [11:47] VSpike: certainly, I just don't know any solutions for that, but I've never looked. [11:48] GarethAdams: not using standard unix permissions. You need to use ACLs. I googled for linux acl, and got some pages that might help, eg: http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/ACL/linux-acl.html [11:48] Hola me puede echar un cable alguien por favor?? tengo problemas con el wifi de acer aspire 5315 en ubuntu 7.10... [11:48] pajamian: there is tdsodbc in the repos. " ODBC driver for connecting to MS SQL and Sybase SQL server" [11:49] pajamian: just never used odbc before so shall have to grapple with dsn's etc [11:49] fstxx: thanks, gives me more to learn :) [11:49] VSpike: yes, but I don't know if that provides a terminal shell you can work with or if it's strictly an application driver. [11:51] how do i make my computer start emerald auto === Verichip is now known as Verichip_ === Verichip_ is now known as Verichip [11:52] li-plus: in compizconfig-settings-manager (you have that installed, right? if not, go do so) go to effects -> window decoration and put "emerald --replace" in the command box [11:53] Question: How do I setup my computer running Ubuntu 7.10 so that I can ssh in from a remote compter (not on the same network, usually running windows xp) ? - I have openssh-server installed.. [11:53] VSpike: I think you want unixODBC [11:54] hello [11:54] VSpike: it comes with an isql utility, which, if my brief scanning of a few web pages is correct is similar to psql or mysql [11:54] if I have a list [{'key',value},{'key',value}] and I want to iterate only over the values (iterate in a way that the keys don't matter) how to do it? [11:55] FFighter: You may want to try asking in a programming channel, ##programming or one specificaly for whatever language you're using :) [11:55] Pici: lol, I thought it was the python channel, sorry - ubuntu [11:55] Question: How do I setup my computer running Ubuntu 7.10 so that I can ssh in from a remote compter (not on the same network, usually running windows xp) ? - I have openssh-server installed.. [11:56] is possible to add password for "windows" in grub? [11:56] FFighter: hehehe, I could answer for perl, but it would be in PM. [11:56] grub has a lot of features. I think theres some 'enter password to boot' feature. Check the grub homepage. [11:57] norty, use putty for windowsXP [11:57] ok [11:57] yogi_, what do i put in for the host then? [11:58] norty, the ip or the name [11:58] NET||abuse: yesterday my usb stopped working also and I looked at syslog what happened (http://pastebin.com/m3a7bc087). at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_APIC_Architecture is something about IRQ7. I think here is the problem or part of it. [11:58] I'm looking for a CLI email client that is better than Mutt, mostly for Maildir/ support. [11:58] anyone suggest one? [11:59] ukkopekka, cool,, have some reading there.. [12:00] Synaptic writes: "Tracker is an advanced framework for first class objects with associated metadata and tags." What are 'first class objects'? [12:00] NET||abuse: also tried booting with irqpoll parameter but computer behaviour turned unstable [12:00] ukkopekka, sounds rough... well,i've not gone to such lengths myself as yet.. and it doesn't sound like your having much success either :( bummer [12:01] ukkopekka, oh well,, i need some lunch,, back later.. [12:04] StefanW, everything is set back to 'normal' thanks for the help [12:04] AutoMatriX: no problem :) [12:05] I am using ubuntu gutsy and there is no option available for lock screen on the shut down menu [12:05] any idea how to make it enable or get it [12:06] What's the command to see a list of available groups? [12:07] is there any benchmark app that could test system (cpu & memory & disk) and give result that could be used to compare with other machines? basically similar idea to 3dmark but no need to benchmark 3d features [12:07] bullgard4: i think it means files [12:07] ArthurArchnix: you mean you want to see all the user groups on your system? [12:07] hello [12:07] pajamian: Yeah... all possible groups [12:08] ArthurArchnix: cat /etc/group [12:08] does anyone know a single command to delete a certain partition? [12:08] pajamian: Perfect. Thanks [12:08] a command I could put in a script [12:08] macogw: "In C, variables are first class objects. Functions are not." [12:09] goniochromism: you mean actually delete? not just unmount it? [12:09] delete as in 'fdisk deletion' or as in 'zero out the data;' :) [12:09] yea, bascially I want a script that erases the entire disk [12:09] for that I would only need to erase the partition table and the MBR i think [12:10] goniochromism: you can write out the commands for fdisk to do it in a file, then pass that file as input to fidsk. [12:10] don't know how to do it under linux though.. [12:10] ah [12:10] interesting, I'll try that [12:10] goniochromism: you can also use dd to write to the first block of the disk directly [12:11] ah even nicer - that would cover both, Parttable and MBR right? [12:11] what would that command be? [12:11] hey all what kernel do i need for 4GB+ [12:11] ? [12:11] NET||abuse: I found something about spurious interrupts and problems they may cause, http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~ksjh/research/cluster/timesync/sprint.html . I keep investigating these spurious interrupts and IRQ7. [12:12] goniochromism: yes, but I don't know the exact command, you would use if=/dev/zero and need to specify the length to write in some way (and I'm not sure exactly how much data you should write) [12:12] ok i'll fish around, thx [12:12] hello everybody... should i use the LVM when installing ubuntu or shouldnt i? what is the difference? [12:12] PodMan99a: the 32 bit kernel given by ubuntu doesn't support it [12:12] PodMan99a: I think you may have to recompile the kernal manually to enable 4Gb + [12:12] goniochromism: gimmie a sec, I'll fidn it [12:13] goniochromism: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/using-dd-to-zero-the-mbr-query.-606489/ [12:13] gotta wonder why this needs tobe scriptable. :) how oftenya going to do it.

[12:15] StefanW, thanks... suppose im gonna have to kernel build now... lol.... [12:15] PodMan99a: that or use the 64 bit kernell if you have a 64 bit system [12:16] any idea? [12:16] PodMan99a: that one should be able to adress 4Gb + [12:16] It would be nice if they had a pre-built kernel that could access 4gb on 32 bit. [12:17] StefanW, its amd 64 processor with 32bit installed ... other than the 4GB issue is it worth running 64bit for a webserver? [12:18] pajamian: -server kernel? [12:18] aurax: You might be able to give it an alias in /etc/network/interfaces I'm not sure though. Try "man interfaces" [12:19] PodMan99a: some packages are not avialable on 64 bit, but you should be ok [12:19] nguyenphan: what video card and what driver and how did you install please [12:19] PodMan99a: also, I believe the server kernel does support 4 Gb + ? [12:19] HI, I want to ask if it is possible to have different desktop backgrounds and icons on the different workspaces [12:19] guest8: yes but will take a bit of tinkering [12:19] worth a go [12:20] bazhang: Is it easy [12:20] guest8: define easy [12:20] bazhang: Clickable in a menu or something like that. [12:20] guest8: then no [12:20] PodMan99a: the linux-server kernel does support 4 Gb + [12:20] ArthurArchnix: nope.... [12:21] PodMan99a: and since you're on a server, should be just what you need :) [12:21] bazhung: Is it only a config file where I have to set a specific value to "yes"? Then that would be easy too. [12:21] guest8: for the compiz cube? is that what you had in mind?

[12:28] pajamian: Oh, damn. Spaces? -_-" [12:28] pajamian: Uh, I don't think so. [12:28] apo: you think it'll work? [12:29] pajamian: umm .. i clicked it before i clicked updates .. so it asked me for a password .. as I was not sure if i am to install restricted stuff [ i thought it was a warning like windows xp gives about un-signed drivers ] .. so i clicked cancel !! and the icon is gone :( [12:29] apo: I mean the command I told him, not yours [12:29] StefanW: I just lost all my Desktop icons. [12:29] pajamian: Ah, you're right. Mine's broken. [12:29] apo: I was talking about mine, heh [12:29] guest8: O_o [12:29] pajamian: Where's it? I'm blind... [12:30] _fabio|: for x in Music/*/*/*.jpg; do mv $x cover.jpg; done [12:30] Ah... [12:30] I don't think so. [12:30] apo: yep [12:30] Wait a minute. [12:30] excuse me, i have a problem with my wireless, occasionally it will disconnect and refuse to reconnect until i restart. can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to fix it please? [12:30] can compensate for spaces easily, just change $x to "$x" [12:30] pajamian: find /folder/to/your/music/ | egrep "\.jpg$" | xargs rename "s/\/.+/\/cover.jpg/" [12:30] STefanW: everything works perfectly, except: my icons are gone! [12:30] How about that? [12:31] No, wait. [12:31] Linux_Fresher: just goto System / Administration / Restricted Drivers manager, then. [12:31] guest8: I don't know about that buddy, they shouldn't disappear O_o [12:31] pajamian: find /folder/to/your/music/ | egrep "\.jpg$" | xargs rename "s/\/[^\/]+\.jpg$/cover.jpg/"! [12:31] guest8: are u sure u have not accidentally gone to other desktop ? linux i think has more than one desktops [12:31] hi is there a way to take a user off the sudo list? or not allow a user root rights by just typing sudo and command? [12:31] pajamian: wo0t! It works! [12:31] pajamian: thanks for your help :) [12:31] Linux_Fresher: No, I just checked them all. [12:32] VSpike: I forget, what did I tell you? [12:32] legend2440, cant see a menu called startup manager o.O [12:32] pajamian: lol. np. odbc/mssql/isql etc. [12:32] VSpike: ahhhh, cool [12:32] NET||abuse: now I disabled my serial port at bios. I found out that this may cause the problem in samo cases because multiple devices try to use irq7 at same time. now I use usb keyboard and mouse. I just have to wait and see if usb freezes, hopefully not :) [12:32] <_fabio|> pajamian: find /folder/to/your/music/ | egrep "\.jpg$" | xargs rename "s/\/[^\/]+\.jpg$/cover.jpg/" <-- gives me nameofthecoverbeofrecover.jpg in Music/ [12:32] guest8: let me try the same thing here.. one moment [12:33] _fabio|: give me a min to come up with one ... [12:33] Linux_Fresher: to get the restricted driver manager back, look in the administration menu [12:33] <_fabio|> take all the time you need :) [12:33] guest8: what do you mean by your icons are gone? [12:33] guest8: which icons? [12:33] _fabio|: add \/ before cover.jpg :D [12:33] ddwagnz: then you can install it from synaptic or sudo apt-get install startupmanager [12:33] macogw: The icons that normally are on my desktop [12:34] kk === asoi is now known as xoRock [12:34] guest8: did you put shortcuts on your desktop? [12:34] macogw: cool .. it talks about nvidia driver .. i got what they are saying .. i will finish updates first then go for proprietary stuff [12:34] guest8: or "launchers" as we call them...i still call them the windows name [12:34] <_fabio|> _fabio|: add \/ before cover.jpg :D <-- that did the trick! thank you very much! [12:34] how do I LIST the build-deps of a package? [12:34] macogw: NO, files and folders (pdfs, ...) [12:35] _fabio|: You're welcome [12:35] guest: I did the same and guess what... my icons left me too O_o [12:35] unenough: I believe its in: apt-cache showsrc packagename [12:35] guest8: oh it should still be in your Desktop directory right? like still in the folder if you go places -> directory? [12:35] guest8: let me try and fix that [12:35] guest8: there's an option to hide the stuff on the desktop...lemme find it [12:36] is there a way to disallow a user to do sudo ? ie i don't want user to be able to install software [12:36] excuse me, i have a problem with my wireless, occasionally it will disconnect and refuse to reconnect until i restart. can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to fix it please? [12:36] macogw: yes, they're not drawn on the desktop. Oh, and by the way, right click on the desktop doesn'T work any more [12:36] macogw: btw, my line is 256 kbps .. so max download speed should be 25.6 kBps .. i wonder why its showing that i am downloading updates at 33.2 kBps [12:37] pajamian: I can now open it up in OOo or anything I like. Very neat! [12:37] Linux_Fresher: Uh... 10 bit != 1 byte [12:37] NET||abuse: sorry, parallel port was the port I disabled. anyway...I saw at bios what interrupt parallel and serial port was using. parallel used irq7 so I disabled it and serial used irq5 so left it untouched. [12:37] VSpike: very cool [12:37] Linux_Fresher: 8 bit = 1 byte, you're able to download 32kB/s [12:38] Linux_Fresher: because 256kb != 25.6 kB [12:38] Linux_Fresher: 256/8=32 [12:38] Linux_Fresher: you divided by 10. 1 byte is 8 bits. try dividing by 8 [12:38] guest8: hm, trying to find a sollution [12:38] macogw, pajamian: I was faster! Hah! :P [12:38] apo: yes, you win [12:38] \o/ [12:38] macogw: oh .. i thought tcp/ip pkt was 8 bit and start and stop bit so 10 bit !! wasnt knowing that data is only 6 bits lol i always thought it was 8 bit data ;) [12:38] guest8: is nautilus not running? [12:38] * apo does the vector-y dance [12:39] apo: cool, btw, to avoid problems with spaces in that use find ... -print0 and xargs -o [12:39] errr xargs -0 [12:39] Linux_Fresher: its nothing to do with packet size [12:39] pajamian: Yeah, true. [12:39] pajamian: I forgot because I have no spaces in my filenames [12:39] * v3ctor gives apo and odd look [12:39] Linux_Fresher: its just a very simple matter of there being 8 bits in 1 byte [12:39] macogw: true , just easier to calculate if i divide by 10 [ and mess up the final result ] [12:39] v3ctor: I said v3ctor, not vthreector [12:39] are the kde 4 packages in gutsy still updated? [12:39] hello, i need some help please , I would like to know when i use >> System > Preferences > Remote Desktop (vnc). what is the defualt port of the vnc ? [12:39] apo: yeah, I tend to use -print0 and -0 as a matter of course. [12:40] is it possible to use konqueror instead of nautilus? [12:40] Linux_Fresher: http://www.google.com/search?q=256kb+in+kB&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [12:40] articpenguin380: sure but will install a lot of kde stuff [12:40] macogw: :) tx [12:40] macogw: If I have a "File Browser" window open, "ps -A | grep nautilus" tells me nautilus is running, if I don't have a "File Browser" window open, it isn't running. [12:40] guest8: ok thats the problem then [12:41] Linux_Fresher: nope, 8 bits to a byte, there is some tcp/ip packet overhead, but we don't count that because it's difficult to know exactly how much it affects the transfer speed. [12:41] prob wont be an issue with my 2GBS of ram =) [12:41] pajamian: I suppose I could use an alias. [12:41] any one know how to get the splash screen to work on boot up... Im blank pun intended [12:41] guest8: nautilus has to be running for you to have a background image, see the icons, and use right click on the desktop [12:41] fi0 and xa0 or something. [12:41] Hey Paja/ [12:41] pajamian: true [12:41] macogw: The icons don'T reappear if I start a "File Browser" window [12:41] guest8: i missed what happened earlier, but did changing backgrounds involve something that ended in "setbg" [12:41] articpenguin380: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease [12:41] i already use amarok instead of ryhtembox [12:41] guest8: thats because when you start it from a menu it's calling the window-only mode that doesnt start the background too [12:42] macogw: no, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17359 [12:42] guest8: try running "nautilus" with no arguments from a terminal [12:42] guys [12:42] hello Laughed [12:42] IF Zune users use the Zune App, and Ipod users use Itunes, what does linux have as an app [12:42] he just has draw desktop disabled in gconf [12:42] macogw: 2 books u said are Linux Phrases and Ubuntu startup guide right ? as exact text strings to search ? [12:42] Laughed: mv [12:42] Paja: your busy as usually [12:42] macogw: A "File Broswe" with my home folder pops up. Icons on the desktop don't reappear. [12:42] apo: Mv??? [12:42] Laughed: hehehe [12:42] Laughed: mv. [12:43] brb [12:43] Laughed: And mount. [12:43] guest8: im guessing that when you tell compiz it's in charge of the desktop, nautilus stops running on there and compiz wont let nautilus reclaim your desktop. compiz cant do the icons and right-click thing, though. those are specifically nautilus. [12:43] Linux_Fresher: no [12:43] Linux_Fresher: the Official Ubuntu Book [12:43] guest8: gcof-editor -> reenable show_desktop under apps -> nautilus -> preferences [12:43] APo: so if I do a search in synaptic ill find mv [12:43] macogw: kk tx [12:44] Laughed: It's already installed... [12:44] Linux_Fresher: that'll get you started. the reference book for the commandline is the Linux Phrasebook [12:44] guest8: gconf-editor, sorry...and restart X after :) [12:44] Laughed: mv just moves files. [12:44] StefanW: OH, I'll have to log out for that. [12:44] I'll come back in a minute. [12:44] guest8: yep :) [12:45] oh, well what would linux users use to manage their media library [12:45] macogw: incidentally, it could be thing with my mind but firefox loads like 2x speed than ie 7 .. or may be i am just mesmerized by ubuntu [12:45] all in one place (like Zune, and Itunes) [12:45] Laughed: rhythmbox or banshee or exaile or amarok [12:45] nice [12:45] media as in just music or music video and photo? === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [12:45] I would want something to manage all media (pics, music, movies) [12:46] Laughed: Dunno, there's a bunch of software that can talk to iPods. Rhythmbox, I think. [12:46] Laughed: if you need Ipod support also, Rhythmbox is good. [12:46] StefanW: Now it's as before: One background, icons are drawn, right-click works. [12:46] Laughed: gtkpod can dync ipods as well but isnt a media player, and gnomad2 can sync "windows only" players but isnt a media player. the flash-drive style players and Cowons are drag n drop [12:46] Laughed: well those are music players that i named [12:46] Laughed: Or gpixpod, that seems to be able to handle your photos. [12:46] guest8: yeah... apparantly having seperate desktop images means no icons O_o [12:46] Laughed: pics go in f-spot [12:46] Laughed: I dont think there are any suites for linux, you need a seperate app for each media type I think [12:46] Laughed: movies....i just keep those in my Videos directory.. [12:47] Laughed: Just do a search for ipod in synaptic and choose what you want. [12:47] Laughed: MythTV could probably do it [12:47] gpixpod?.. never heard of that. [12:47] StefanW: Ok, I'll have to wait for a future release untils I enable that feature then. [12:47] IndyGunFreak: synaptic search -> ipod :P [12:47] Laughed: MythTV turns your computer into a Tivo [12:47] macogow: WOULD i NEED A SPECIAL GRAPHICS CARD FOR MYTH [12:47] Laughed: gtkpod is the best Ipod manager if you ask me, [12:47] guest8: I think so... I'll google a bit more, perhaps ask on the forums :) [12:47] apo: hm, guess i never bothered lookin for it. [12:47] Laughed: well Tivo & media player [12:47] laughed caps please [12:47] Laughed: no need to shout... not to run it [12:47] IndyGunFreak: I didn't either, got rockbox on my iPod. [12:47] oh, thank you. Sorry about that. I didnt even see it [12:48] Laughed: i run it on my intel chip. but if you wanted to use the tv stuff and get a line-in...yes, you'd need a tv tuner so you can hook up your cable to your computer [12:48] brb .. stupid cat spilled coffee >.< === FFEMTcJ[away] is now known as FFEMTcJ [12:48] maco: but its not dependent on it, is it? [12:48] Laughed: i dont have a tv tuner. i just use myth for dvds and music [12:48] <|Dreams|> is there any way in linux to convert a hd movie to wmvhd? [12:49] hi, i have smb guest access to a windows machine that isn't used too much and i'd like to setup an apt mirror on it. is there anyway i can do that? [12:49] StefanW: Thanks for your efforts. Maybe I'll come back later. [12:49] |Dreams|: I would guess if it is possible, ffmpeg can do it (or mencoder, pick one) [12:49] Laughed: it has a plugin to sync iPods and i think auto-convert the videos to ones that iPods can play [12:49] |Dreams|: what is that? some awful MS wmv DRM? [12:49] k, ill try it. thanks everyone. [12:49] apo: i didn't like the idea of rockbox.... [12:49] IndyGunFreak: I do. [12:49] guest8: :) [12:49] <|Dreams|> its so i canm play hd moveis through my xbox [12:50] [12:50] apo, IndyGunFreak: i went with supporting a company that supports linux instead of letting an unsupportive company (like apple) think it's ok to ignore us [12:50] :) [12:51] macogw: Which would be? [12:51] guest8: there's another option [12:51] macogw: i had a Sansa E260, it worked pretty good, then I got an Ipod. [12:51] i am using xchat-gnome and when i leave an irc session and log back in hours later the scrollback text from the last session shows up on top of the MOTD is that normal? [12:51] apo: Cowon [12:51] macogw: Ah, yes. [12:51] StefanW: yes... [12:51] legend2440: yes. [12:51] kalatian: ok ty [12:51] StefanW: that is ... [12:52] hmm... I used to turn my touchpad off automatically with synclient touchpadoff=1 when a mouse was plugged in... but then I discovered that the synaptics driver does a large number of wakeups, reducing my battery life, so I uninstalled it. Now I'm wondering how I can turn off the touchpad... what driver is controlling it in the absence of synaptic? [12:52] guest8: apparantly, a program called wallpapoz [12:52] hi, i have smb guest access to a windows machine that isn't used too much and i'd like to setup an apt mirror on it. is there anyway i can do that? [12:52] StefanW: installable with "sudo apt-get install wallpapz"? [12:52] as far as i know apt requires a web server, but i've heard of all sorts of enhancements like apt-torrent, etc. so i presume it's not completely impossible to setup an apt mirror with smb guest access to a machine (no rdp, etc.) [12:52] legend2440, i;m not sure about xchat-gnome, but in xchat, there's an option under Settings -> Preferences -> Chatting -> Logging to display or not display the scrollback from previous session [12:52] macogw: what the hell is Cowon?.. never heard of it. === vedo is now known as mali-za-s [12:52] guest8: checking [12:53] IndyGunFreak: Korean company...someone in #ubuntuforums recommended them to me [12:53] IndyGunFreak: Korean company that makes music/video players [12:53] hmm [12:53] IndyGunFreak: i got my mom to order mine from NewEgg.com [12:53] IndyGunFreak: supposedly pretty good from recommendations [12:53] rythmbox does seem like a quick and qualified answer for my mp3 needs... going to go look at myth [12:53] StefanW: "aptitude search wallpapoz" doesn't print anything, so I'll guess not. === max is now known as max` [12:53] IndyGunFreak: http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/iaudio/7/ [12:53] dgjones: ok i'll check that ty [12:54] IndyGunFreak: that's mine [12:54] StefanW: But thanks, maybe IÄll google for it later. [12:54] hi, i have smb guest access to a windows machine that isn't used too much and i'd like to setup an apt mirror on it. is there anyway i can do that? [12:54] macogw: thanks... === kurumin is now known as isaquefd [12:54] Laughed: Rythmbox is ok for Ipods, but i think GTKPod is better, just opinion of course [12:54] guest8: here you go: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Wallpapoz [12:54] Laughed: I use GTKPod [12:55] IndyGunFreak: IndyGunFreak the D2's are supposed to be sweet [12:55] IndyGunFreak: http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/cowon/d2/ [12:55] hmm [12:55] StefanW: Thanks a lot! [12:55] Ill keep that in ming thanks Indy, I was actually just using Ipod as an exmaple to Itunes. I dont have an Ipod. =) === co_kesepian is now known as cew2_imoet [12:56] hi am I allowed to ask for help with a custom kernel here? [12:56] Laughed: oh ok, well if you don't have an ipod, gtkpod is probabloy a bit lacking compared to others. [12:57] Anybody here good at helping configure wireless connections? I am a Linux noob, but I have tried everything in the forums. Still need help... [12:57] wsh1977: sure, what's the problem exactly? [12:57] wsh1977: just ask away and find out [12:57] there is like 20 or more fiels associated to myth, should I install all of them or is there a way to wittle this down [12:58] nm [12:58] Ok, running Ubuntu fine on laptop, just installed LinuxMint on desktop [12:58] ugh [12:58] IndyGunFreak: i got an iaudio because 1) figured the controls would be a bit easier to handle than a touchscreen 2) cheaper 3) the iaudio is barely bigger than a tube of lipstick, so the horribly small pockets in girls jeans accomodate it better than the D2 [12:58] Have a WUSB54G on desktop that appears to connect to AP, but can't get internet [12:59] !ultimate [12:59] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [12:59] wsh1977: we can't help you with linux mint; but see above for their help channel :) [12:59] how about me? [12:59] k, thanks === [d-_-b] is now known as demonspork [13:00] ElTimo: ask and if anyone knows they will answer ;] [13:00] ok [13:00] here goes then [13:00] i can't really figure out why people use Mint over Ubuntu. [13:00] its much slower [13:00] supposedly it is easier to install. the cd never worked for me though [13:00] fancy looks attract the masses [13:00] Doing tracker-search-tool in a Gnome terminal opens a window 'Tracker Search' but in the left-hand pane there are no categories listed. Some days ago they were, though. There is no error message in the Gnome terminal. How to repair that? [13:00] i've used it before, i find it no faster/slower... and its as easy to install as Ubuntu [13:01] IndyGunFreak: it's blue [13:01] use it for a while and you will see it is slower [13:01] i think the bigger sisue, is the codecs being included w/ the default install, no searching for how to play mp3, avi, etc... [13:01] hey there! I'm using a Proprietary ATI driver for my graphics card.. but when I start heavier graphical programs such as games the fps is very low! is there any way to fix that? [13:01] macogw: lol, better than brown [13:01] exit [13:01] EXIT [13:01] I just recompiled the kernel for EM64T, and while I do have the NVidia proprietary drivers installed and configured, I can't for the life of me get sound or wireless. I have a dell latitude D820 laptop with (I believe) the intel pro 3945 wireless [13:01] thor how did you install the driver [13:02] thor: what card do you have? [13:02] ElTimo: i'm guessing you have intelhDA sound [13:02] yes [13:02] not sure how to fix that in 64bit. [13:02] thor: and be sure to disable xgl / compiz before you launch a game ;) [13:02] ElTimo: you need the restricted driver for that wireless card [13:03] I think I compiled it in the process, but I can't find it [13:03] I have an ATI Radeon X1600XT drivers I don't know [13:03] thor: run fglrxinfo in a terminal and use the pastebin to show us the output [13:03] thor: as using Xgl (what many people use to get compiz working on ati cards) disabled 3d rendering in applications [13:03] ubuntu wont install on my hp pavillion dv2500, what gives? [13:04] and fglrx supports aiglx now, so you shouldn't even need compiz anymore [13:04] I dont know If I am quite ready for myth, it seems like a huge commitment [13:04] tuttle2: need more info than that please [13:04] display: :0.0 screen: 0 [13:04] OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. [13:04] OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1600 Series [13:04] OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) [13:04] i never was able to get mythtv to setup right, so i just use VLC to watch live TV [13:04] nice, you just reminded to install VLC. [13:04] same [13:05] o wait [13:05] I can't [13:05] I don't have sound >_< [13:05] thor: if you run glxgears and wait a few secs, what fps do you get there? [13:05] <_fabio|> apo, could you maybe check the private messages i sent you? no hurry, but seems like the command isn't working out like i thought in the first moment :) [13:05] (should print in the terminal) [13:05] IndyGunFreak: ok ... I'll bite.. how do you watch live tv with vlc? [13:05] izinucs: quite easily actually [13:05] ElTimo: you need the binary daemon and firmware for the intel wireless...dunno where to get that if you roll your own kernel [13:06] izinucs: 1, you obviously need a TV tuner [13:06] 2962.256 FPS [13:06] crap [13:06] thanks [13:06] ElTimo: you could also compile the new iwl3945 driver instead, since that's fully free / open source [13:06] o sweet where can I get that? [13:06] 2. then you just file/open/open capture device.. [13:06] actually never mind ill just google it [13:06] ElTimo: it's what's in use in hardy, and it works well [13:06] hmm [13:06] izinucs: do you have a TV tuner? [13:07] how about sound? [13:07] IndyGunFreak: ah ok.. nice.. thanks for the expalination.. no tuner here unfortunatly.. unless an old diamond card counts.. [13:07] ElTimo: it's a b**** [13:07] izinucs: hmm, never heard of that one. [13:07] >_< [13:07] ElTimo: 64bit IntelHDA, not sure how to fix that one. [13:07] bleah? [13:07] 32bit, it would probably be easy [13:07] IndyGunFreak: bout 7+ years old [13:07] thor: that's a fairly respectable rate -- what game are you trying to run? [13:08] World of Warcraft [13:08] izinucs: do you have it working?.. i imagine youc ould get it working w/ TV time or something if you wanted [13:08] ElTimo: intel hda is a "standard" in use all over the place to which none of the hardware actually complies, making it a huge pain for developers and users [13:08] thor: so you enter the wonderful world of wine, yes? [13:08] ElTimo: it's also probably the most common laptop audio chip [13:08] yep or at least trying [13:08] so I've found [13:09] thor: ok, so it looks to me like your card is working fine with 3d, so the problem is probably with wine [13:09] IndyGunFreak: I should give it a shot.. If I remember correctly it's an old pci card.. Diamond use to make lots of video cards and they were swallowed by someone but can't remember who. [13:09] thor: I don't knwo much about wine, so I can't help you much more -- but ask again, someone else probably knows :) [13:09] Hallo [13:09] izinucs: yep, i had a diamond videoo card many many moons ago, 16mb and it was *fast* [13:10] ukkopekka, hey, sorry, was out for a bite to eat,, so you getting places with the irq7 issue? [13:10] Can anyone tell me, why my external HD doesn't work anymore...? [13:10] StefanW wrote that I should disable xgl/compiz fusion before I start the game.. could that be the issue?

I'd suggest you give it a few hours to rest and relax and do all those things hdds do in their spare time (cool off, too) and see if it works then [13:23] ^^ [13:23] Yacci: I knwo that one that I own only works when it isn't hot [13:23] (need to return it on warranty it should work 24/7 if I want it to) [13:24] Jack: the gmae that came pre-installed works in 3d. But there is another chess game that has (i think) 3 tiers of chess, (i assume like the chess set seen in star trek NG) anywho, its this game that Ive installed and cannot find [13:24] another issue is that after 3 games of regular 3d chess, my desktop resets and I have to log back in [13:24] IndyGunFreak: the reason im using 64 bit is because the processor option for core 2 duo in the kernel config is only available as 64 bit [13:24] Am I able to sync my WM6 smartphone's outlook with Evolution? [13:24] ok... to each their own i guess. [13:25] here's the dmesg-log: http://pastebin.com/m47832479 [13:25] Laughed, I have never seen Star Trek NG so I dont know what it is you are looking for in that regard [13:25] hi, i just upgraded to a new kernel and it changed by grub file back to booting root (hd0,0), my root prtition is root (hd0,2), how do i make ubuntu know this in future kernel upgrades?

[13:25] wel,, thanks for trying jack. === linuxchild is now known as srofer [13:26] Idle: I installed 3d chess from synaptic [13:26] Can someone please help. Whenever I try to boot Ubuntu, it goes to the screen that says "Starting Up..." and seems to freeze. [13:26] just hit alt+f2 and type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and look for the new kernel entry, then edit it from (hd0,0) to (hd0,2) [13:26] ElTimo: i did that [13:26] it was hd0,2 before [13:26] Laughed, Which one causes you to log back in? the menu pre-installed or the other.. [13:26] oo [13:26] but when i upgraded to a new kernel it changed it back to hd0,0 [13:27] ah [13:27] thats not my root drive [13:27] I see [13:27] I can't really help you there [13:27] na033681, Are you trying to boot a live cd or a HD install [13:27] :( [13:27] Jack: not sure what you mean... after 3 games I am logged out to a black screen and it brings me to the log in screen [13:27] HD Install [13:27] Yacci: there is a program called smartmontools that checks the health of SMART hard drives [13:27] also this is the synpatic description of the game I am talking about: 3D chess for X11 [13:27] 3 dimensional Chess game for X11R6. There are three boards, stacked [13:27] vertically; 96 pieces of which most are the traditional chess pieces with [13:27] just a couple of additions; 26 possible directions in which to move. The [13:27] AI isn't wonderful, but provides a challenging enough game to all but the [13:27] most highly skilled players. [13:27] Laughed: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:27] Laughed, 3 games on which version of chess [13:28] whats the link for the multi line site [13:28] Yacci: it is in synaptic [13:28] Where can I find documentation on the apt: protocol? [13:28] !paste | legend2440 [13:28] legend2440: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:28] ok [13:28] ty [13:28] legend2440: sorry about that Laughed see above [13:28] Vad1: the man pages [13:29] bazhang: I mean the firefox apt: thing [13:29] Hi, ok I found that unloading the psmouse was the answer. But simply adding this to a udev rules (rmmod psmouse) doesn't work, because I guess these rules aren't run as root? [13:29] Vad1, in termianl type man apt [13:29] Jack: the reset is created while playing the default chess game installed with uuntu [13:29] Jack_Sparrow, the game is 3 boards played at the same time so the game has been expanded by 2 boards with extra moves added and pieces [13:29] Idle: right on [13:29] Jack_Sparrow: Not apt itself, I need the firefox extension. Like when you type "apt:package" in firefox, it installs that package. [13:29] Idle: do you have it. play it [13:30] Laughed, I dont sorry. not on ubuntu right now [13:30] IdleOne, Understood, but my concern was if a poorly written program is causing a reset. we need to flag it with a bug report [13:30] foxray: the kernell update edited your grub.conf file [13:30] Anyone know why udev can't unload a module? This is the line: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ID_CLASS="USB HID v1.10 Mouse", RUN+="rmmod psmouse" [13:30] foxray: check if the grub menu.lst still matches your disk setup [13:30] Jack_Sparrow: HD Drive [13:30] Background: I have a Ubuntu 7.10 CD but can't install it because of some I/O buffer error. So, I installed an older version 6.06 LTS. What I want: is to upgrade to 7.10 version. I asked earlier and was told that I must upgrade from 6.06 -> 6.10 -> 7.4 -> 7.10. So I updated all packages. But the version is still 6.06. And I read online about the gksu "update-manager -c" command. But it doesn't seem to work since everything is already updated. Probl [13:30] Jack_Sparrow, he installed the game but cant find it so he hasnt played it yet .. it is the default chess causing the reset [13:31] foxray: aka if 0,0 still is the bootable drive in /grub/device.map [13:31] Please help [13:31] IdleOne, Noted [13:31] That doesn't work. I have to type sudo rmmod psmouse to turn off the touchpad. [13:31] StefanW: i changed it so it matches now, before i upgraded it was at root(hd0,2), after upgraded kernel it changed to root (hd0,0) , i had to changed it back to the correct drive [13:31] na033681, Did this install ever work, or is this the first boot after the install [13:31] Jack: the resets are not caused by the chess game itself, Ive had other random resets but not nearly as frequent and with out a discernable trigger [13:31] foxray: which fixed it :) ? [13:32] shahrukh: run lsb_release -a [13:32] StefanW: (hd0) /dev/sda <--thats in device map [13:32] let me try [13:32] Jack_Sparrow: First boot after the install. [13:32] sorry to be a pain as i know this isn't ubuntu specific, but for some reason when I type /server blahblahblah i am getting unknown command, im using pigdgin [13:32] StefanW: now everytime i upgrade to a new kernel i'm gonna have to change grub again [13:32] to match hd0,2 [13:33] taylor [13:33] na033681, Is this a dual bot system or single [13:33] annoying no?

[13:36] no loading [13:36] rsk: oh, well, thanks. Laterz. [13:36] foxray: no, grub is installed on 0,0 (MBR) by default [13:36] Jack: that is only a temp fix. He will have to edit his grub in xconf for it to be perm [13:37] StefanW: i know but that didn't work when i did the update, luckily i'm a linux admin for a living and i kno how to fix grub [13:37] Laughed, Understood.. if that gets him in I will walk him through editing it [13:37] how do i use smartctl? [13:37] foxray: an admin, lol.. I expect there isn't anything I can tell you that you do not know already then :) [13:37] hey there, i created my samba server today, everything is working fine but now im getting "Failed to convert user : /usr/bin/pdbedit failed : add_smbfilepwd_entry: entry with name xxx already exists" in webmin [13:37] i need to copy over some packages (specifically, VMware server and its deps) to a ubuntu system with no internet access. I got another net connected system with ubuntu with the same packages already installed... is there any way to get apt to download those files to some location, or retrieve them from somewhere? [13:38] StefanW: live and learn i'm still a young admin out of college [13:38] faileas, They will already be in /var/cache/apt/arechives on that system [13:38] foxray: the problem is known, but having your menu.lst kernell entries listed between the automagic tags should mean it autoupdates on each kernel update [13:39] yea i dunno its weird [13:39] Yacci: type man smartctl in terminal [13:39] it should have updated but it didn't === cbrake_away is now known as cbrake [13:40] and now?

[13:45] yes [13:45] duckly1: gksudo nautilus [13:45] unless you mean start it as root by default? [13:46] ArthurArchnix, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59134/ [13:46] I have two scripts. The other one is the same, except instead of modprobe psmouse it says rmmod psmouse those scripts get called from a udev rule that gets run when a usb mouse is detected. They're supposed to shut down the touchpad. [13:46] ElTimo: thanks :) [13:46] np duckly1 [13:46] duckly1, Use that command with caution [13:46] definitely [13:47] be VERY careful with it [13:47] ElTimo well to start nautilus by default in root how do i do? [13:47] How do you enable remote desktop in xubuntu? [13:47] duckly1, You are heading into trouble.. you should NOT need root access that often [13:48] I've been searching for keyboard shortcuts, however, I am unable to locate a terminal shortcut.

[13:57] hello [13:57] i did [13:57] md5x: for example, remove all the contents and make it read "ALL: ALL: DENY" [13:57] ALL: ip.zebra.lt [13:57] Jack_Sparrow: It just stops on the screen that says "Startin up..." with the cursor under it blinking [13:57] but I put dpkg --configure -a and it says: dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege [13:57] then slap a sudo on the front [13:58] i want to copy files from one mounted partition to an other in nautilus. is it just drag and drop (i want to be saure i dont get symbolic links)? [13:58] md5x: just deny verything and modify hosts.allow to allow what you want [13:58] it's easier to allow what you want than to disable everything you don't [13:58] maro_: sudo dpkg --configure -a [13:58] whoever asked about starting a terminal with a shortkey [13:59] Jack_Sparrow: I tried disconnecting my ext HD to see if that did anything but that didn't help either. [13:59] system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts [13:59] hey guys I just "ssh-keygen -t rsa," so I can give a unix admin at my school my key so I can get ssh access. He gets the pub side right? [13:59] techqbert: he certainly shouldn't need your private one [13:59] what's the best way to connect 2 ubuntu systems? (7.10 and 6.10) [13:59] bughunter2: cool that's what I thought [13:59] scuderia: a crossover cable? :) [13:59] scuderia: securely :P [14:00] scuderia: you might just connect them both to a switch or a router. [14:00] thanks, seems it's working [14:00] at least it's showing up something different [14:00] na033681, Were you trying to install on an external drive, or was the external drive connected when you installed etc? [14:00] Chousuke: yes, crossover. And it can be an unsecure share [14:01] Jack_Sparrow: It was connected when I installed [14:01] Chousuke: cant i just connect them and go places -> Network? [14:01] scuderia: just make sure their they are in the same subnet, and they should be able to communicate [14:01] i tried with smbclient but i wasnt able [14:01] what do you try to connect? [14:02] scuderia: if you want to share files, you need to set up a file server on either machine. [14:02] which is not difficult. [14:02] Chousuke: is better to set manual ips like 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 with the Gateway 192.168.1.1 [14:02] scuderia: do you have a gateway? [14:02] no, just the 2 pcs here [14:02] then you don't need to set a gateway. [14:03] na033681, Im not sure where to start with that, but I would try installing without the external in place to try and make sure the installer can do its job. [14:03] Jack_Sparrow: It worked before with a previous install, but I re-booted a couple time and got the problem I have now so I deleted the partions and started over. [14:03] ah, all right, so is just 192.168.1.x on both with different x? [14:03] yeah, and the same netmask [14:03] use ping to test if the connection works :) [14:03] sure. I tried but wasnt working, is better to disable roaming in gusty? [14:04] it'll probably be 192.168.1.1 -> gateway [14:04] eth01: he just said there's no gateway. [14:04] scuderia: if you want to give the machines names instead of typing ip addresses all the time, edit /etc/hosts [14:04] what type of connection is this, cable/adsl? [14:04] cross cable [14:04] how would one find out the temp of my running system? [14:04] eth01: apparently direct ethernet between two PCs [14:04] tam9: acpi -V [14:05] im downloading 7.10 to install on the other pc so i have both with gusty [14:05] na033681, Ok so it was working.. at one point, which was my first question.. You were able to boot the hd and get in.... answer is still the same try again without the external [14:05] oh, yeah, then probably no gateway - you'll have to set one up with dhcpd/bind [14:05] na... : can you boot up using recovery [14:05] iarwain1: ahh no support for thermal :( i'll figure something man. thanks for your help [14:05] tam9: lmsensors perhaps :) [14:05] eth01: that might be overkill for this network :) [14:05] na: nm.. [14:05] tam9: or perhaps a aptitude search temperature might do it [14:05] :) [14:06] shrug [14:06] tam9: mine shows temp in bios setup [14:06] iarwain1: it's been a long time since i've done anything really nitty gritty, thanks for the help again [14:06] tam9: np's xD [14:06] legend2440: i'd like to see it running with a certain program i am running [14:06] scuderia: can you put the output of ifconfig to pastebin from both machines? [14:06] sure, 2 min. booting other pc [14:06] tam9: oh ok then that won't help [14:08] Hey there! I'm looking for a Wiki or something of that sort which covers EVERYTHING an Ubuntu tech supporter needs to know. Basically, I'm looking for a text on the structure of Ubuntu, that sort of things. If anyone can help, please, I'll be thankful.

Right now I am trying to uninstall it completely but it states only 10 packages will be removed. what gives? [14:11] bazhang, That is a good place to start.. [14:11] Jack_Sparrow: In this case, can you give me all of the web sites you know which cover these areas? [14:11] i'm running 6.10 on a server - do i use apt-get dist-upgrade to get the various updates to that version, or is there a more ubuntu preferred method?

[14:12] Jack_Sparrow: thanks; just off the top of my head--also iDN might want to know about psychocats website [14:12] iDN, No, that would be a huge list and suited more to how I learn. It is easy enough for you to search and flag what works for you [14:13] mwansa: ooffice -writer [14:13] np [14:13] Jack_Sparrow: OK, thank you, and bazhang. [14:13] bazhang, there are lots.. but yes I link to psycho [14:13] form what i've read, for released versions, an update like that generally consists of only security updates - is that right?

[14:25] Jack_Sparrow: Progress. Thanks for your help thus far. I put the commands you gave me back into the script, placed it in an appropriate path (/usr/local/bin/load_psmouse.sh), ensured it was executable, made sure everyone was allowed to execute it with chmod... now, I can call it from the terminal without running sudo. [14:25] where should the X log be in Ubuntu Gutsy? [14:25] ArthurArchnix, glad to help [14:26] ArthurArchnix, Technically off topic, but I was not busy at the moment [14:26] Jack_Sparrow: I don't suppose you'd know why I can't run it anywhere else, but the terminal though? For example, calling it through a keyboard shortcut, or even alt+F2 doesn't work. [14:27] xif: /var/log/ [14:27] Chousuke: done [14:27] scuderia: try pinging now. [14:27] ArthurArchnix, it should. have you tried making a launcher [14:27] Jack_Sparrow: Really? Sorry about that. I felt it was on-topic because I needed the ability to turn off the touchpad without running sudo commands, and I was unwillng to use the synaptic driver because of wakeup/interrupt issues. [14:27] Hey, has someone comlpiled v4l-dvb-experimental with 2.6.24 kernel? [14:27] erUSUL: thanks, found it. [14:28] not pinging. Can it be from having 6.10 and 7.10? [14:28] no.

[14:28] ArthurArchnix, The busier we are the finer we need to draw that line... [14:28] scuderia: does ifconfig look any different though? [14:28] Jack_Sparrow: I understand. [14:29] just add the ined addr and Bcast and Mask [14:29] scuderia: you may also need to do "sudo ifup eth1" (or ifdown and then ifup) [14:29] Hey, has someone compiled v4l-dvb-experimental with 2.6.24 kernel? [14:29] scuderia: okay, so they should be configured properly :/ [14:29] hmm :/ [14:29] ArthurArchnix, And we do appreciate you understanding the difference [14:30] Chousuke, im not sure but sometimes my pc doesnt work with both wireless and wired network [14:30] Jack_Sparrow: I used apt-get to install kubuntu-desktop, therefore the command "sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop" doesn't remove all of the dependies of kubuntu-desktop. What should I do? [14:30] irc.polishtracker.org [14:30] i will shut down wireless and come back a few moments [14:30] scuderia: well it might be routing them wrong.

[14:31] Jack_Sparrow: But now that I do have this script ;) perhaps you could help me figure out why it won't launch. Running this "/usr/local/bin/unload_psmouse.sh" in a terminal turns off touchpad. But when I put that in a launcher on my panel, or type it in Alt+f2, or via keyboard shortcut, it does not.

I'm thinking it's a scripting error. Thanks for getting me this far. Cheers. [14:40] Jack_Sparrow: i've read that - i didn't see anything regarding my question. i've read the individual upgrade pages too, but apt-get dist-upgrade isn't for upgrading between versions, is it?

[14:43] amenado, I mean, i config my card: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.**, and config route and /etc/resolv.conf, i can surf the web [14:43] TraceGreen-> correct, so why your dhcp server is not offering is an ip address, you have to figure that out [14:43] amenado, but windows can [14:43] TraceGreen-> correct, so why your dhcp server is not offering an ip address, you have to figure that out [14:43] amenado, I also install windows XP in my computer [14:44] when i enable the restricted drivers the screen reolution changes nd i cant change it back again till i disable the drivers [14:44] audio thanks by the way [14:44] amenado, Windows XP can get IP address through dhcp.

Version 2.6.22.14.21 (gutsy), package size 24 kB, installed size 52 kB (Only available for None) [17:54] does anyone run Ubuntu on an old Blue and White G3 Mac? i'd like to see their xorg.conf if they do. [17:54] erUSUL, apt-get install linux-source?? [17:54] sfears: yup [17:54] chemical, click on the server and select join channel. below there is an option to retrieve channel list. === [1]dahlia is now known as dahlia [17:55] will try [17:55] Gmorning. [17:55] chemical, there u search embedded linux. [17:55] chemical, simple. [17:55] Anyone? [17:55] murlidhar lol [17:55] HEY!! I can't install latest xchat with synaptic packet manager! ! only the gnome one [17:55] Dorenrab, what is the problem? [17:55] chemical, i do it a lot of times. it is easy to search the keywords. [17:56] murlidhar ok [17:56] Dorenrab, it's easier to install XP first and then Ubuntu. [17:56] When I uninstall my current xchat and try it says it couldent be downloaded [17:56] Parsec300: I'm not registered so I can't use private messages on this network [17:56] chemical, trust me . try it. [17:56] Parsec300: So I'm pretty much out of luck? [17:56] Parsec300: No, I run it on a Dell laptop. [17:57] Dorenrab, no, not really, it's just harder to get everything to boot properly. [17:57] ThRixXx, Use what is in the repos.. much safer than compiling your own [17:57] NDPMacBook, Ok, I just though you were by the look of your nickname [17:57] Indeed. I've been trying to get it to boot to my installation disk without success. [17:57] chemical, #ubuntu-mobile ##embedded #elinux [17:58] thats what i tried, it there and i can mark for instalation but it cant download. [17:58] Dorenrab, you mean boot from the CD? Then it might be a setting in your BIOS boot-sequence. [17:58] chemical, i searched them for u [17:58] Parsec300: I'm pretty sure you can run it on a MacBook, I just don't know why you'd want to though. There are cheaper computers for Linux. [17:58] Dorenrab, at start or install press F6 and remove quiet and splash from the command line then boot [17:58] Then I tried refreshing my repo list, but that doesnt work at all... allthough my internet works ;/ [17:58] murlidhar thank you very much [17:58] i am using an 19 inch widescreen lcd monitor and i have smoothened the fonts in ubuntu but i am not able to smoothen it in firefox . [17:58] hi, i need a terminal command to place my cursor in the lower left corner please [17:59] chemical, mention not :) [17:59] ThRixXx, The very latest resleases will not be in the repos.. but the ones in the repos have been tested and they work [17:59] murlidhar actually i'm looking info for uClinux for porting an arm processor [18:00] chemical, got no idea. sorry :( [18:00] Yes but it doesnt wana download, brb... [18:00] chemical, are u sure those channels won't be able to help you? [18:00] Parsec300: actually, I already set it to boot the disk before the hard drive. [18:00] ThRixXx, what command are you using [18:00] <_Oz___> hello all, I just got done building out a new system... it's a core 2 extreme (qx9650) w/ 780i mobo, 4gb RAM, and dual nVidia GeForce 8800GTXs... can I run ubuntu on this? how will ubuntu handle SLI? [18:01] NDPMacBook, I know. I run it alongside OSX on my MacBookPro. Just for learning linux to install on other ppl's computers. [18:01] murlidhar will see my friend [18:01] Just using synaptic packet manager [18:01] _Oz___, YOu will need to get video drivers from nvidia for the 8800 [18:01] where is the bootsplash image is located in ubuntu === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [18:01] Dorenrab, and it still won't boot? How did you burn it? Did you burn the ISO or did you burn the .iso file as a file on the disk? [18:01] ThRixXx, Are you getting an error or what happens [18:02] hi!, I´m trying to install AndroMDA with ArgoUML, but I can´t. [18:02] Parsec300: Cool. [18:02] where is the bootsplash image is located in ubuntu [18:02] For me OS X is my main OS, but I run Linux on the Dell and am learning a lot about it [18:02] !usplash [18:02] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [18:02] Parsec300: I used a CD burning program and had it burn the ISO (not as a file). [18:03] i am using an 19 inch widescreen lcd monitor and i have smoothened the fonts in ubuntu but i am not able to smoothen it in firefox . [18:03] any ideas [18:03] ? [18:03] Hi. Does anyone know of any CPU termperature or fan speed showing software that will work in Ubuntu? [18:03] Dorenrab, If you dont get to a screen that says start or install you have a bad dl or a bad burn [18:03] Tetracomm, unix has this built it in though i don't remember the commands [18:04] Tetracomm, look for sensors in synaptic [18:04] Tetracomm: i like the gnome panel applets for that [18:04] <_Oz___> Jack_Sparrow: can't I just use that nvidia-settings proprietary driver? [18:04] Tetracomm: lm-sensors [18:04] hey guys [18:05] Tetracomm: Try http://www.lm-sensors.org/ or http://healthd.thehousleys.net/ or http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ [18:05] _Oz___, you can try.. but I see more people fighting that series than any other nvidia [18:05] <_Oz___> oh, great [18:05] Just to clarify, I'm using 7.10 on a Dell Dimension 2400. [18:05] Tetracomm: And take a look at phpsysinfo via source forge [18:05] <_mug> hey [18:05] Dorenrab, Burn the cd at 4x.. dont ask why.. but all my Dells hated anything faster [18:06] <_Oz___> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks. I have my AMD 3500+ 2.2ghz (single core) machine to run ubuntu on exclusively if needed, I guess. it has a 7600. [18:06] irc.cybermirc.org [18:06] my screen is totally scrambled when i did startx after using the fbdev driver for X [18:06] <_mug> does ubuntu work fine on a thinkpad t41? (ati9000, wlan, sound?) [18:06] I was trying to install GTK+2.12, tried to remove the OLD Glib to install a newer version , but by wrong i've removed alot of Glib libraries , now Synpatnic manager and Update manager arent working + alot of softwares have been removed , any idea ? [18:06] Question: I'm trying to install the php4-sybase package using apt but each time it installs it lists it as iB . How can I tell the problem keeping the package broken and is there a way to remedy this state? [18:06] Hm, I'll try that and then I'll get back to you guys (don't have burnable disks handy). [18:07] Its says sumting like connection to server timed out [18:07] anyone know how to clear a list of torrents in deluge? my install of deluge keeps crashing on start up? [18:08] I should probably make a GParted Live disc as well. [18:08] i just installed kde4 and now my wireless wont work, my wireless network shows up in the network settings box but after i select it i still cant get a connection what should i do? [18:08] holas [18:08] ostotogari: my guess would be to delete ~/.deluge [18:08] Thank you for the assistance. [18:08] do you have MAC filtering or a password? [18:08] holas [18:09] holas [18:09] hi [18:09] how do I set up an NFS share manually in ubuntu, without using the utility? [18:09] ostotogari: that will delete all your deluge settings [18:09] zoe, Ask in #Kubuntu-kde4 [18:09] putos [18:09] estan?? === nevermore_ is now known as nevermore [18:09] ok thanks [18:09] hello, where is soundcore.ko module in current 2.6.24-12 hardy kernel? [18:09] geras, para español ve a #ubuntu-es [18:09] °C Its says sumting like connection to server timed out [18:09] arekm: see /topic in #ubuntu+1 [18:10] anyone happen to know where you configure which drives ubuntu/gnome sees as system drives? [18:10] fex. I don't want some drives I mount at every boot to show up in the drive mounter applet or nautilus' side pane [18:10] @ Jadd76: ill try that [18:10] Pici: thanks [18:10] Jack, it cant make connection to the zza.archies thing [18:10] ostotogari: that may be ~/.config/deluge [18:10] but I *do* want some drives to show, up. ie. i don't want to disable drives in the side pane completely or anything. [18:10] samjs, i think you cant do anything === zoe is now known as Z0E [18:11] where can I find a tutorial to install AndroMDA with ArgoUML? [18:11] Nigromante: oh, that's too bad. [18:11] ThRixXx, You enables unofficial and possibly dangeropur sources.. not a good idea [18:11] Compiz Fusion is the coolest thing since creamcheese [18:11] I think it takes them from HAL, samjs [18:11] @Jadd76: Your right, its located in .config/deluge [18:11] hi, does somebody know if there are any problem (and if it works) RAID-1 over ABIT KN9 chipset: NVIDIA NF4 Ultra [18:11] Thank you. [18:12] np [18:12] oh [18:12] i am using an 19 inch widescreen lcd monitor and i have smoothened the fonts in ubuntu but i am not able to smoothen it in firefox . [18:12] anyone? [18:12] so they arnt allways online ? [18:12] i actually forgot the link of the tutorial which was given to me. [18:12] ThRixXx, Hopefully they were not added by automatix or envy scripts [18:13] How would you tell me to get latest XCHAT then because I tried compiling one but that didnt work [18:13] I use envy yes ;? [18:13] Nigromante: hmm. for some reason I thought that drives I setup during installation weren't shown on the desktop like removable volumes. my last install (hardy alpha) I didn't set the disks up till after, and now they're shown everywhere. [18:13] sudo apt-get install irssi [18:13] What is the command to CD to exemple this folder: /home/admin/Skrivebord/Rod [18:13] im using irssi to get on irc right now =] [18:13] Nigromante: I'll see if I can change how the HAL sees these other disks. [18:13] ThRixXx, bad idea using that.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit [18:14] do you have permissions to /home/admin? [18:14] samjs one thing is drive mount applet, and another thing is gnome removable drives preferences [18:14] ThRixXx, If you must have the NEWEST release.. do your homework on compiling [18:14] bowsercake, well i just need the command. Then /home/name/Srivebord/rod [18:14] is there a way to allow 24-bit colors in fbdev driver? i tried 16 and 24 and got a distorted ugly display in X [18:15] 8 works, but it looks awful [18:15] I have! I downloaded the latest source files and have the latest ubuntu... [18:15] do change dir you can do 'cd /home/admin' or else do 'nautilus /home/admin' [18:15] ThRixXx, Please also make a backup just in case you mess things up. [18:16] bowsercake, wasnt it something like: cd ~/home/anton/Skrivebord/Rod ? [18:16] i am using an 19 inch widescreen lcd monitor and i have smoothened the fonts in ubuntu but i am not able to smoothen it in firefox . [18:16] * murlidhar started sleeping [18:16] Fiskjhn, if you are user 'anton' and you type 'cd ~' then you will open directory /home/anton [18:16] Not sure how to make a back up but its fine, running 2 partitions [18:17] bowsercake, ohh yeah :) Thanks :D [18:17] ThRixXx use mv file file.bak [18:17] samjs, one interesting keyword is "auto" mount option in drives listed in /etc/fstab [18:17] or better, cp file file.bak [18:17] ThRixXx, /msg ubuto for build-essential and backup and compile [18:17] bbl [18:17] i believe samjs wants them to mount, but doesnt want them t show up in the 'mount program' [18:17] Do you guys get payed to help me ? [18:17] i plug in my usb head phones but hear no sound out of them ! [18:18] no... [18:18] \We wish [18:18] wth [18:18] Nigromante: I don't think HAL pays much attention to fstab. There is some interesting stuff in /etc/hal but nothing solid yet. [18:18] ThRixXx, no body gets paid. [18:18] eish man! [18:18] well, we might be at work right now getting paid, but we sure arent getting paid to be in the chat haha! [18:18] hai, how i can't to re-install kdeinit ?? i have problem when i want open windows [18:18] Id pay you for support but im still a kid D [18:18] how i can to re-install kdeinit ?? i have problem when i want open windows [18:19] ThRixXx, it an ubuntu community . remember ICE AGE (2002) film. We are like a herd looking out for each other [18:19] samjs, investigate the auto mount option (reboot with/without it and see behaviour) [18:19] Ahhh... [18:20] well im 15 now, and im getting hundreds of people interested in ubuntu [18:20] Nigromante: thanks, but auto mount in fstab is not what i'm looking for. my fstab is tweaked to perfection. :) [18:20] via videos of compiz and lans. [18:20] sounds good. ubuntu is fun and all but dont press it on people and act like its the best shit like some MAC users do. [18:21] haha nah i tell them its a fun platform to play around on and would be usefull to get to know because allot of servers use it [18:22] <_Chad> can anyone answer a question for me? [18:22] I still have lots more to learn tho!! it took me years to learn windows [18:22] Ye sure go ahead chadman [18:22] we have to know the question to answer it [18:22] i find the desktop experience to be better than either windows or mac [18:22] heh [18:22] <_Chad> cool ty [18:22] <_mug> re. could a normal user do damage to the system except his/her own files/homedir when he types rm -R / ? what would be deleted? [18:22] _mug, everything he has write permission on methinks [18:22] jerbear! compiz-fusion makes it ultimate! [18:22] mug: not unless that user has permissions [18:22] _mug: as long as you didn't prefix that with sudo [18:23] <_Chad> ok.. I'm trying to do a dual boot of Ultimate Edition ubuntu and XP Pro - during the install it told me (xp) no volumes available [18:23] everytime i go into the MAC stores i try a 'rm -rf /' just to see if they are on top of their systems [18:23] <_mug> DRebellion: yeah i know.. are there any important files in standard-install? [18:23] ThRixXx: actually, i think compiz is a scurge, but that's just me [18:23] <_Chad> now thinking I did something wrong, I grabbed a copy (legal) of vista thinking it could be a fluke [18:23] <_mug> jerbear: no [18:23] I don't like lm-sensors, and the feont end isn't working. [18:23] <_Chad> but I got the same thing [18:23] _mug: do not use it [18:23] I have a Pentium III CPU. [18:23] Could someone make other suggestions? [18:24] <_mug> ipe: i know what it is, i just wondered IF i would do any damage and i dont want to test it [18:24] Helps me organise my desktops. i use the zoom in quite allot ! allso it keeps me busy when i have nothing to do [18:24] guys how to see connection duration via terminal? [18:24] <_mug> ips maybr ill set up a vm and ubuntu and THEN test ist, but not on my pc [18:24] Tetracomm: I use lm-sensors and monitor with gkrellm. hope you find a solution you like! [18:24] i believe it might clean out the users home directory, but all the other directories would not be deleted because the user lacks permissions for them [18:24] bowsercake: Please dont mention that command in this channel ever. [18:25] <_Chad> did you get all that thrixxx [18:25] <_Chad> ? [18:25] eye candy like compiz is a distraction, the true power is under the hood [18:25] im sure more people have broken their systems from changing xorg.conf than from doing an 'rm' command [18:25] hi guys, i want to run avant window navigator and compiz, but my laptop has an ati r250 chip, can I do this? [18:25] <_mug> bowsercake: hm ok.. i think ill do a little bash-voodoo and write a script that scans the hdd for writeable files/dirs :P [18:25] but with using the rm command you break your system for all time [18:26] ben: sure [18:26] _Chad, probly u have messed up ur grub. [18:26] bowsercake: Breaking your graphics settings is a bit different than deleting all your files without warning. [18:26] with messing with xorg.conf you can solve the problems you've caused [18:26] <_Chad> hm [18:26] so far all my attempts at running AWN and compiz has failed with error messages [18:26] Pici: true [18:26] <_Chad> at one time I had a dual boot - same hdd with both Linux Mint and Ultimate Edition [18:26] ben: please join #compiz-fusion [18:26] running compiz.real it says there are no manageable screens found on display :0.0 [18:26] someone can help me [18:26] ben: have you installed the fglrx drivers? [18:26] ben: have you installed the latest drivers? [18:26] ? [18:27] i read at one place NOT to install fglrx so no i haven't [18:27] <_Chad> but then linux mint stopped working [18:27] you need to [18:27] _Chad, do u have two hard disks? [18:27] ok will do now [18:27] <_Chad> lol 6 [18:27] lol [18:27] ben: no, you read correctly [18:27] do _not_ install fglrx [18:27] <_Chad> my secondary sata II isn't showing [18:27] <_Chad> so I figured it was able to be installed to [18:27] oh ok, will join [18:27] _Chad, so which hard disk has windows xp [18:28] crdlb: why? [18:28] Cual es el canal en español? [18:28] !es | Quicksilva [18:28] <_Chad> none [18:28] sorry that was for Quijote [18:28] <_Chad> I'm trying to dual boot [18:28] !es [18:28] qense: because fglrx supports r300 and up [18:28] oh [18:28] I'm sorry [18:28] <_Chad> so I can play higher end/non linux supported cedega games [18:28] I'm not very experienced with ati, I think I forgot to check that [18:29] _Chad, u mean u do not have any windows os installed right now.? [18:29] <_Chad> exactly [18:29] <_Chad> I don't [18:29] Quijote, looks like the bot is lagging, you need to join #ubuntu-es [18:29] <_Chad> I would like to dual boot but I always get this error saying no suitable volumes available even though I formatted that second sata II drive [18:30] _Chad, it is better to install a windows os and then linux os. i mean it is simpler. [18:30] ben: maybe this guide can help you: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [18:30] _Chad: sata drive? XP you said, right? do you have drivers for your sata controller? [18:30] <_Chad> yup [18:30] murlidhar: what???! are you nuts? [18:30] ATI [18:30] yeah, installed XP after linux is much more difficult [18:30] jerbear, i heard so [18:30] <_Chad> I have ultimate ubuntu installed dual booted with linux mint atm on the primary [18:30] i need to reinstall gutsy - my disk has bad sectors, so i want to keep my existing partition. how do i do this? [18:31] the fat knows about the bad sectors now [18:31] <_Chad> lol murlindhar - I hate windows with a passion since they put vista out. [18:31] red_one: if your disk has bad sectors, do yourself a favor and get a new drive [18:31] <_Chad> I'm only wanting to do this so I can get certain games to play [18:31] jerbear, that's nice, but that's not an answer === asoi is now known as xoRock [18:32] red_one: sure it is... bad sectors means your disk is failing... are you saying you want to save your partition? [18:32] <_Chad> I've tried cedega which I pay for.. for what I'm not sure yet - I've tried wine, win4lin, crossover [18:32] <_Chad> transgaming [18:32] _chad install xp first . and ubuntu cuz while installation ubuntu will automatically find the path to windows and write the grub into mbr [18:32] jerbear, a new disk can wait. i just need to reinstall atm. [18:32] <_Chad> wha [18:32] <_Chad> so go and put windows on first?! [18:32] red_one: then reinstall [18:33] <_Chad> then go and install linux? [18:33] jerbear, and lose my fat? the one that knows about the bad sectors? [18:33] Chad: you should back up your linux file. reinstall windows XP, then reinstall ubuntu, then transfer your saved files.its actually easier === trollboy_ is now known as trollboy [18:33] is your linux a fresh and new install.? [18:33] Thank you. [18:33] _Chad, [18:33] ^ [18:33] It says that I don't have any sensors. I tried gkrellm. [18:34] <_Chad> nah [18:34] or can i get a gutsy installer to do a surface scan first? [18:34] <_Chad> I've been using it for a year [18:34] red_one: knows about your bad sectors? do you realize that marking bad sectors is just a stop gap so that you can possibly save some data... and you're wanting to reinstall.. ha! [18:34] Tetracomm, have you installed lm-sensors. Also, alot of sensors may not pick up [18:34] _Chad, ok then we will go the alternative way. [18:34] <_Chad> ok [18:34] jerbear, thanks for your... help. [18:34] I'm looking for a software for stop motion ( a other one than StopMotion) that can be easily used by students. Any ideas? [18:35] red_one: enjoy what's left of your data [18:35] _Chad, can i PM you. or join #murlidhar [18:36] can i perform a surface scan as part of a gutsy install?

Im trying to see this site: http://motionsrecepten.dk/motion.html but I cant find the plugin :S [18:43] Smellynose: For upgrading between 6.06 and 7.10 you need to go 6.06->6.10->7.04->7.10 [18:43] Ahh [18:43] I just replaced dapper with gutsy [18:43] then updated and upgraded [18:43] So wat do I need to include in headers to make a kernel ? iostream and what ?

[18:47] excalibas: this is correct... if you want to give a specific user access to the drive, you have to create a directory that they can write to [18:47] excalibas whats the command you have done to mount the subject partition? [18:47] hi [18:47] amenado, yes I know the printer works in other applications like OOo but doesn't work with evince because evince is sending the print stream to LP instead of ipp://192.168.0.105 [18:48] Does anyone how to use vobsub subtitles in Ogmrip? It is always greyed out for me. [18:48] Scunizi lets both look to google and lets see what we can come up with [18:48] Hello! Is there a way I can find out detailed information about a window? [18:48] jerbear: ok, but i cant change the permitions of the directories.... [18:48] Like what its class or name or title or whatever is? [18:48] that would be useful to know to properly configure compiz [18:48] excalibas: do you have root access to the system? [18:49] amenado: i duno, just rightclick mount [18:49] is there an irc channel for help for gnu screen, or I could just ask here? [18:49] jerbear: yes, and i can create forders [18:49] jerbear: as root [18:49] white_eagle, just ask [18:49] Hi, one question: the sound in video files .3gp extension doesn't work, how could I fix that? [18:50] excalibas being root, you have more control of how you mount things, if you have not learned mount command yet, its about time to start digging through man pages and/or googling [18:50] excalibas: cd /mount/point/of/drive; sudo mkdir stuff; chown -R foo:foo stuff [18:50] Is there a dist-downgrade option or similar to apt> [18:50] excalibas: where "stuff" is the directory, and "foo" is the username [18:50] jerbear-> lets try to encourage some of these users to kind of pick up the manual and.... [18:51] Smellynose: No. [18:51] noober, I'll look it up for you. There is a setting in the settings menu. [18:51] Hi, one question: the sound in video files .3gp extension doesn't work, how could I fix that? [18:51] amenado: that's fine, but he's trying to get from point A to B. [18:51] any idea???? [18:51] Parsec300: thanks [18:52] jerbear we will be here if he gets completely stucked.. [18:52] Parsec300: i would like to be able to control my pc from my laptop. [18:52] amenado, jerbear: ok, ill try this thanks a lot [18:52] Which computer is running Ubuntu? Or are they both running Ubuntu? [18:53] noober: vnc, telnet, ssh [18:53] The sound in the '3gp extension' is AMR, which is proprietry(sp?) I believe, so you have to build VLC/ffmpeg with support for it# [18:53] brobostigon: >? [18:53] excalibas: i would definitely encourage you to read the documentation on mount so that you're aware of how it works and the different options [18:53] Parsec300: main pc running ubuntu laptop xp [18:54] noober: you can use(vnc,ssh) ro remote comtrol another computer [18:54] hi, how would I limit the amount of memory a user can take up? [18:54] Emilian, ram or hdd? [18:54] and how can I build VLC/ffmpeg with support for it? [18:54] can anyone tell me how to disable SCIM at startup? [18:54] bostigon: yeah i know.. but how do i . what command for start server on ubuntu? [18:55] !motu [18:55] DRebellion, ram [18:55] !vnc | noober [18:55] If your main computer is ubuntu, you would want the server on your laptop, no? [18:55] The bots are current undergoing maintenance. [18:55] Anza: You would have to download the source from SVN and configure it to be built with amr-nb, if you google you should be able to find a tutorial [18:56] noober: look on help.ubuntu.com [18:56] jerbear: i will, but will i have to mout by hand always or is there a way to make the mounting automatic? [18:56] brobostigon: thanks [18:56] !scim [18:56] :( don't understand [18:56] hello there? [18:56] excalibas: this is exactly why you will need to do some reading [18:56] excalibas as you will learn from reading about mount you'd come across fstab file, they compliment each other.. [18:57] Pici, Wouldn't it be wise to put that in the channel topic? [18:57] i got a quick question for whoever can help [18:57] DRebellion: No one reads the topic, and its only temporary. [18:57] i try to save a skin for amsn [18:57] DRebellion: like 20 minutes temporary. [18:57] but my computer keeps saying that i am not the owner [18:57] i dont have permisions to do so [18:57] jerbear, amenado: ok, i will read now thanks again. [18:57] does any body know what to do [18:58] .... [18:58] Howto run a dcr file i mozilla? Im trying to see this site: http://motionsrecepten.dk/motion.html but I cant find the plugin :S [18:58] owner permisions [18:58] anybody know why i am not alow to change them [18:59] excalibas you're welcome, we'll be here if you really get stucked.. [18:59] how do I access an NFS share on the network? [18:59] amenado, find anything? There seems to be lots of people with evince issues.. the printer is hooked directly to a router and is accessible by any machine in the lan. Everything from my ubuntu install works except evince.. Evince will, however, print to my usb printer connected directly to my ubuntu box. both printers are lasar. direct=B&W.. ipp=color both Samsung if that makes a diff. [18:59] how do i gain folder permisions [18:59] please?? [18:59] kepahe: sudo chmod -R 755 [19:00] kepahe: if you don't control the folder in question, then you don't get to change it [19:00] kepahe: Where are you trying to save the file? [19:00] in user/share/amsn [19:00] kepahe, what folder do you need owner permissions for? [19:00] but comes up with a messange saying i am not the owner [19:00] and so, dont have permisions [19:00] kepahe: Are you sure you can't save the theme somewhere in ~/.amsn/ ? [19:01] its a new skin that i donwload for amsn [19:01] no [19:01] doesnt allow me to do so [19:01] kepahe: Then you'd have to use sudo to move the file there. [19:01] sorry, but i do i do that? [19:02] Scunizi-> its evince you want to print using lpd right? === Randomtime is now known as RT|AFK [19:02] kepahe: The amsn documentation actually says to install skins in /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.amsn/skins [19:02] !sparc [19:02] ~sparc [19:03] mick_home: The bots are down currently. [19:03] amenado, evince yes.. lpd no.. i want it to print using ipp which is how the color lasar is setup in cups [19:03] frold: perhaps dcraw [19:03] Is the Wiki down? [19:03] !info dcraw | frold [19:03] Pici: is there a channel for ubuntu/sparc? [19:03] mick_home: Not that I'm aware of, but if it did exist it would be #ubuntu-sparc [19:04] Uhoh bots [19:04] mick_home: I get "forbidden" when I try to access it, at least. [19:04] kepahe, type if the command is 'cp' (copy) then put sudo in front of it, like 'sudo cp'. [19:04] can I simply tar my entire linux part to install on a new hard drive ? [19:04] This will allow you to execute commands with 'root-user' priviledges. [19:04] i am trying to save a new skin in "user/share/amsn [19:05] frold: from apt-cache search dcraw - decode raw digital camera images [19:05] ok, none [19:05] i dont have a folder call amsn in home/user name [19:05] i just bought a 100 dollar textbook that needs adobe digital editions, can i do this? [19:05] there are panamanian's here.. [19:05] kepahe: would be something like ~/.amsn i think [19:05] mick_home: what are you trying to install on? [19:05] kepahe: .amsn is a hidden folder, just cd .amsn [19:05] ok pasec 300 [19:05] kepahe: Did you get my message? [19:05] SVN is a server? [19:06] kepahe: Read http://amsn.sourceforge.net/devwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Installing+Plugins+and+Skins [19:06] v3ctor: brand new blades [19:06] so i need to open the terminal and type sudo cp [19:06] and then ... [19:06] kepahe: No. Just read the link I just pasted. [19:06] haven't tried on blades yet, what issue are you having? [19:06] kepahe, Pici pasted a link for you to read. [19:06] i have [19:07] v3ctor: wanted to know how big the community behind it is [19:07] what is the command to see ur partitions in the hard disk? [19:07] Is there anything in particular I need to be aware of when installing Ubuntu 7.10 next to an already installed Linux system (which I will move out of the way)? I cannot afford to lose any of the data on my system. [19:07] mick_home: Sun Microsystems is behind it ;) [19:07] murlidhar: fdisk -l /dev/hda (or whatever device) [19:07] v3ctor: i'm not happy w/ Solaris [19:08] kepahe: The link I pasted says to installs skins into "/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.amsn/skins" [19:08] Scunizi-> the printer is a network printer? can you try to have evince print to a file? and then that file can be printed with an ipp capable app? [19:08] v3ctor: and the blastwave project isn't where i want it to be [19:08] mick_home: lets take this to #ubuntu-sparc [19:08] yea Pici, install the Re-install the skins in /home/user name/>>and creat a foder .amsn/skins?? [19:08] what the command to list what modules are loaded? [19:08] there is noone there [19:08] what's * [19:08] i am [19:08] sfears: kernel modules? "lsmod" [19:08] sfears: lsmod [19:08] kepahe: Whats your ubuntu user name? [19:08] thanks [19:09] victor [19:09] kepahe: /home/victor/.amsn/skins/ [19:09] kepahe: put the files in there. Press ctrl-h in the gnome file browser to see hidden folders like .amsn [19:09] Is help.ubuntu.com broken? I cannot access https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto [19:09] oks [19:10] any reason why df would only show my root partition, and not all the rest I have mounted? (they're all in fstab) if I give the path to the other mounts explicitly it works, they just don't show up in the list for plain 'df -h' [19:10] (using kubuntu gutsy) [19:10] i need help with wine [19:10] can you configure an already compiled module? or is that part of what the compilation does? [19:10] trying again... Is there anything in particular I need to be aware of when installing Ubuntu 7.10 next to an already installed Linux system (which I will move out of the way)? I cannot afford to lose any of the data on my system. [19:10] Could someone give a tip about using the openvpn server to add a new user to the openvpn? [19:10] amenado, it is a networked printer, that's why it's plugged into a router with an ethernet cable and has its own fixed ip address. I view a pdf created by a third party and print it to pdf to create another file. Even this file will not print. If you have any other suggestions I"m all eyes.. [19:10] mbt: its offline to me also === eee is now known as elihh [19:11] @allen: connect to irc.freenode.net and go to the channel #winehq [19:11] does any body know how to stop skips in Audacity? === Trevi is now known as Trevinho [19:11] if i install a windows app. it says Change preferred owner in ~/.wine/system.reg === elihh is now known as eliprovvisoria [19:11] can I simply tar my entire linux part to install on a new hard drive ? [19:11] xeniter_: allen: this is freenode [19:11] lordleemo: Thanks... hopefully will be up/fixed soon, was going to look at that page lol [19:12] !test [19:12] Failed. === asoi is now known as xoRock [19:12] wx9j: mostly, but you will need to reinstall the boot loader on the new drive manually before it will boot. (that's GRUB in Ubuntu, isn't it?) once you do that, if you are careful, it should work. emphasis should. [19:13] Is it possible to make auto-hiding panels not show at all? it seems 2-3px are still showing. Is there a gconf [19:13] ciao [19:13] back [19:13] kjor: Thanks, I forgot about the grub loader, thanks for the heads up on that [19:14] Scunizi-> what exactly you have done to print a pdf file to said printer? what app or command did you use? [19:14] wx9j: I haven't tried it with Ubuntu, but I don't see anything else being needed if you haven't done pretty heavy customizations to the system. say, a very limited custom built kernel might need to be reconfigured for a new system. [19:14] New linux guy here .. following things done [ and i am IMPRESSED 100% ] .. 1) updated Ubuntu to latest 2) Downloaded 'restricted drivers' 3) Installed compiz .... okies now guide me further .. what more needs to be done ? [19:15] SpookyET, gconf editor? [19:15] can anyone tell me, ca we install VGA graphics drivers in ubuntu??? [19:15] teach me about mediubuntu , i can download anything without legal obligations here , so what to run to get mediubuntu please ? [19:15] how do you restart X from console if you are ssh into box? [19:16] Jack_Sparrow: it's a settings editor [19:16] Linux_Fresher, Makje a backup, so in case you do something (Not bright) you can get back to this point with eze [19:16] kjor: no changes, just moving things from one drive to another dual boot drive and using an second drive for common ntfs [19:16] pushpop: kill it, then start it [19:16] amenado, "tried to print" is the operative phrase.. open pdf with document viewer (evince), File/print pick printer.. print.. cpu goes to 50% and stays there until I kill the lp process in top. [19:16] can anyone tell me, can we install VGA graphics drivers in ubuntu??? [19:16] SpookyET, Yea, I know [19:16] Jack_Sparrow: M8 !! u r there !! yaaay !! am i lucky or God really exist !! xD [19:16] wx9j: then just copy and reinstall GRUB should do the trick. [19:16] My external ntfs hard drive will not mount I get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53068/ [19:16] SpookyET, Yea, I know gconf-editor [19:16] amenado, lp is chosen by evince as a default for some reason instead of ipp.. [19:16] wx9j: just be sure to preserve all permissions and special files. [19:17] Scunizi-> i meant given a general .pdf doc, can you use OO to open and print it? [19:17] bruenig; you can't start x when beeing sshd into box? === [D]ANIEL[a] is now known as gevgelija [19:17] pushpop: why not [19:17] Pici, [19:17] amenado, haven't tried that .. hang on. [19:17] Linux_Fresher, Just got home from walk around the lake.. darn hot today [19:17] mbt: try the cached version http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache:INmXQCBimeQJ:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DisklessUbuntuHowto+diskless+ubuntu&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=de&lr=lang_de|lang_en&ie=UTF-8&client=firefox-a [19:17] Jack_Sparrow: u have GOT TO install compiz m8 !! i dun know how u manage without it !! xD .. after all the world is of showmanship !! and compiz takes it to a whole new level !! [19:17] kjor: copy from where to where ? I have one drive now that has the dual boot sys, so just go to the /boot dir ? [19:17] i try to save the file in a .amsn, but it tells me that already exits altough i cant see the folder anywhere [19:18] kepahe: because it is a hidden directory [19:18] wx9j: you wanted to move your current installation to a new drive, right? [19:18] kepahe: press ctrl-h [19:18] thanks [19:18] Hi all! What's wrong with my Pidgin? I try to connect to ICQ and I get "online" status, but a message "connection reset by peer" appears, and cjntact list doesn't show. [19:18] Linux_Fresher, I have it and every addon, including fish swimming inside my cube and windows that float off the face of it [19:18] Jack_Sparrow: :) that would be a GREAT idea !! especially with a hot babe with me ... but considering that its 1 am here, lil difficult to do that atm ;) [19:18] Jack_Sparrow: gimmi the fish !! i am a sailor !! [19:18] My external ntfs hard drive will not mount I get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53068/ how can i get it to mount? [19:18] kjor: yes taking it off a 160 moving win and linux to a 40 gig, then use the 160 for all data [19:19] anyone know of a good upnp media renderer, apart from vlc? [19:19] mplayer [19:19] lordleemo: Oh, why did I not think of that, lol [19:19] how can I resolve this? [19:19] Errors were encountered while processing: [19:19] gnome-volume-manager [19:19] nautilus-cd-burner [19:19] rhythmbox [19:19] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [19:19] hello, I have a external philips-screen connected to my laptop. is there a way to change the resolution specific for that external one? I guess that would be in xorg.conf, but I don't know where. For now, the external screen cuts the bottom-panel, when I'm using 1280x800 @ "internal" laptop-screen =) [19:20] bruenig; you can't start x when beeing sshd into box? [19:20] how do you restart X from console if you are ssh into box? [19:20] pushpop: why not [19:20] Jack_Sparrow: one lil issue beyond my tiny brain .. in my media folder, some icons are of a movie reel and some icons are of movie reel with a little orange lock over them .. whats that all about ? .. can upload a screeny if u order [19:20] What's wrong with my Pidgin? I try to connect to ICQ and I get "online" status, but a message "connection reset by peer" appears, and contact list doesn't show. [19:20] x doesnt start I can't vnc in [19:20] Linux_Fresher, Promise me you will do a full backup.. Just one line in a terminal.. providing you have the room.. and then you can compile more fun stuff http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5303 [19:20] wx9j: then you should be fine just copying all files from the old drive to the new, reconfigure and re-install GRUB. just keep everything on the old drive until you know the new one works and you can always go back to what you had. [19:20] pushpop: what happens when you try to startx from ssh [19:21] kjor: that was the plan, thanks, [19:21] bruenig server is already active for display 0 [19:21] i have grub installed on two different partitions, how do i point the MBR at my preferred boot? [19:21] wx9j: you're welcome, hope it goes well. [19:21] Is there anything in particular I need to be aware of when installing Ubuntu 7.10 next to an already installed Linux system (which I will move out of the way)? I cannot afford to lose any of the data on my system. [19:21] pushpop: because X is running, you need to kill it first [19:21] kjor: back up :) [19:21] Jack_Sparrow: i cant promise what I cant do .. i cannot do a back up for lack of space or availability of new HD etc etc but i free you from any liability of my own data loss .. that's a seaman's word ... else may i rest with the fish [19:21] kjor: watch carefully what to format :) [19:21] alex-weej: yes, but besides that? surely there is a way to put ubuntu on an existing ext3 partition withotu reformatting it? [19:22] kjor: not really, as long as you're real careful with the partitioner [19:22] Linux_Fresher, Fair enough [19:22] amenado, oo won't open the pdf.. [19:22] kjor: but who's to say there isn't a stray rm -rf / somewhere in the installer? [19:22] jimcooncat: oh, I have formatted the wrong drive once already, don't plan on doing it again :) [19:22] Jack_Sparrow: so what would we be doing now ? mediubuntu and fishes ? [19:22] alex-weej: hopefully the QA department ;) [19:22] Scunizi-> try installing ghostview [19:22] amenado, what's that? [19:22] kjor: I've been there, done that :-) [19:22] * alex-weej same [19:23] Scunizi-> i say its a nice doc viewer of different formats including ps and pdf [19:23] just growing tired of the quirks of Gentoo, and want something that just works :) [19:23] Yeeeeeiss [19:23] Jack_Sparrow: oh and i also have to update synchrony .. erm wait its called something else [19:23] kjor, The live cd cannot be installed without formatting at least the root partition, the alternate will let you do more [19:23] SYNAPTIC !! [19:23] i got it, Many thanks dudes! [19:23] maybe we should take a poll: how many people have hosed their hard drive before?

[19:30] Pici, i can't get a source code of it because it's not open source [19:30] Fruuctis: hold on, let me take a look [19:30] Nibblyn i have the same problem xD, and i just restart x server [19:31] looks like Jack_Sparrow went afk .. or is busy .. anyone else knows the official site for mediubuntu ? google doesnt seem to pop up one [19:31] and i can't find a 64 bit version of crossover [19:31] Nibblyn: aren't they referred to panels in gnome-speak? maybe you need to add one with the menus? [19:31] Nibblyn i haven't figured out, what's wrong [19:31] h4L1m: Then you'd either need to switch architectures, or contact crossover. [19:31] Linux_Fresher: probably because you keep spelling it incorrectly [19:31] ok [19:31] thx a lot [19:31] Linux_Fresher-> try this spelling mediaubuntu [19:31] h4l1m: does wine run on amd64?? [19:31] niuq: it seems that it happens after the last update [19:31] amenado, Linux_Fresher: it's "medibuntu" [19:32] !medibuntu [19:32] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:32] Linux_Fresher, http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/45987/2002766108564705326_rs.jpg ignore the screen tear from the screenshot app. [19:32] !medibuntu [19:32] brobostigon, i'm using wine with no issues on it [19:32] kjor: all menu bars desappeared. no panels at all [19:33] Nibblyn: if you use icon for compiz fusion, you can try changing your window manager [19:33] Linux_Fresher, system admin software sources and enable everything in there. disable the cd as a source [19:33] I've just done sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` and I get Media Change: Please insert the disc labelled [19:33] ‘Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)’ [19:33] in the drive ‘/cdrom/’ and press enter [19:33] what one earth is going on?? [19:33] Nibblyn: and no way to add a new one? I'm running Xfce so can't check easily what it's like in GNOME. [19:33] Jack_Sparrow: caught the cowboy !! xD http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/45987/2002766108564705326_rs.jpg cannot be displayed because it contains erros !! ^^ [19:33] pushpop: http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:Y9sKzGJPmoAJ:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH+vncserver+ssh+ubuntu&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us&client=firefox-a [19:33] how should I format my external hard drive in order for it to work best with ubuntu NTFS fails all the time on me [19:33] amenado, nope .. can view and print to local lasar but not the networked.. even after changing what my default printer is. from locally connected to networked. [19:33] niuq: she has no icons on the destop (no compiz fusion)... she can only create a new folder an from there lauch something [19:33] lesshaste, you have the cdrom in your /etc/apt/sources.list file [19:34] pushpop: I don't know why Ubuntu Wiki gave me a hard time with that doc. [19:34] maxwell33: ext3 [19:34] maxwell33: I'd suggest ext3, or FAT if you need compatibility with Windows. [19:34] how do I open an xslx file? [19:34] buddylee: weird! can I fix it in synaptic? [19:34] can anyone tell me, can we install VGA graphics drivers in ubuntu??? [19:34] can anyone tell me,how can we install VGA graphics drivers in ubuntu??? [19:34] lesshaste, either comment it out in this file, or use 'c' and press enter when you are prompted [19:34] natbet, gutsy's openoffice will open that spreadsheet [19:34] i still don't understand why someone would use linux+fat [19:34] buddylee: thanks === hyrsch_aw is now known as hyrsch [19:35] file sharing with windows without silly ntfs-3g [19:35] hmm .. its medibuntu .. not mediUbuntu or mediAUbuntu [19:35] Nibblyn: is the issue creating new folders?, or the dissapearing of the menu bars? [19:35] creating new directories [19:35] and it wont let me access the repository [19:35] jimcooncat: thanks, I think I was used to Feisty's open office [19:36] Scunizi-> can you use lpr to print to the said cups printer? if its running lpd, can you telnet to it? [19:36] Linux_Fresher, http://aycu15.webshots.com/image/46534/2000287317936092481_rs.jpg [19:36] natbet, there's info on a converter at https://secure-support.novell.com/KanisaPlatform/Publishing/161/3559115_f.SAL_Public.html to enable you to open it in OpenOffice [19:36] natbet: I thought there was a download for Feisty somewhere, but I don't recall now. I moved to gutsy then it wasn't an issue for me. [19:36] Jack_Sparrow: i want it !!!!!!!!! now !! as in right now !! plz plz plz !! [19:37] i am getting this odd error is there a way of fixing it : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59167/ . i have changed the apt cache size to 33554432 because i was getting a mmap full error [19:37] i have a geforce 6200.. should i have to install NVIDIA-GLX or NVIDIA-GLX-NEW? [19:37] I've got myself into a mental meltdown (and so has the pc :( - could anyone tell me how to remove cups & all the related packages & drivers - is there an easy way - without (feisty) wanting to remove everything on my system...? [19:37] hey people, someone can help me to install http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/NuoveXT2-Theme?content=66685 [19:37] Linux_Fresher, Im still on break, so post your error when I get back or read up a bit [19:37] Linux_Fresher, I already linked you the page for the addons that you need to compile yourself [19:38] amenado, I can log into the print server built into the printer using the ip address.. if that's what you mean.. [19:38] Jack_Sparrow: can you tell me,how can I install VGA graphics drivers in ubuntu??? [19:38] Anyone here familiar with ssh-add? I created an ssh key and dragged it to another server and I can ssh from the first server and it asks for the passphrase. I type it in and it connects. But I just want to connect to the second server without the passphrase. When I do ssh-add authorized_keys2 it asks for the passphrase then says it's bad. How is that possible? It's allowing me to ssh with it. [19:38] Xman, Use vesa.. thaey are the generic VGA drivers [19:38] Jack_Sparrow: nope .. i didnt get any link, could u please paste it again ? incidentally, medibuntu site when i click on repository says 403 forbidden, now i am VERY SURE that its not so in my country [19:39] Jack_Sparrow: how to do that? [19:39] Brandon_, check out ssh-agent [19:39] Linux_Fresher, Gimme the link you click [19:39] any 64-bit wolfenstein users out there can help me with installation? [19:39] Brandon_: ssh-add adds keys to ssh-agent, not other machines [19:39] Linux_Fresher, Promise me you will do a full backup.. Just one line in a terminal.. providing you have the room.. and then you can compile more fun stuff http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5303 [19:39] Linux_Fresher, That ring a bell [19:39] Hello people, the GUI of my audio controller doesn't work anymore. only way I can change my volume is through terminal using 'alsamixer' any reason why this has happened? [19:40] niuq: she can cerate new folders (because she can do it from the right mouse click)... so she is able to navigate into the file system (because opening a folder under gnome will open nautilus). The problem is that all! panels disappeared. Do you know a command to fix gnome destop? she is a really newbie... [19:40] Hi, why is it that I get 403 Forbidden errors when I try to visit any of the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ pages or https://help.ubuntu.com/community ? Can anyone help [19:40] Jack_Sparrow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu is the link thats 403 [19:40] amenado, I've gotta run & do an errand.. thanks for the help.. I may have to end up filing a bug against evince.. [19:40] Xman, Use vesa.. they are the generic VGA drivers select vesa mode and 1024 max res sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg use tab to accept all other defaults [19:40] Jack_Sparrow: ding ding !! yup the forum link u had given !! but the moment it involves forum and reading, usually sailors .... well .. sail away !! :D [19:41] jerbear, buddylee so why am I looking at ssh-agent? Do I add keys to it? I just want to be able to go from one server to another without passwords. [19:42] Nibblyn: i've had some trouble with gnome configuration in the past, if you don't have too much configuration set, just delete the folders .gconf and .gconfd. This will delete all customizations, but it should work next time around [19:42] Brandon_, when you created a key, you still have it wrapped with a password [19:42] Brandon_: you could try public key authentication with passphrase-less keys, but it's not really the best thing to do security-wise. [19:42] to go passwordless, you need ssh-agent to take care of that your [19:42] Linux_Fresher, Read this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/29/medibuntu-the-only-3rd-party-repo-i-use/ [19:42] hey guys [19:42] buddylee, yeah. So do I have to remove the password? [19:42] Jack_Sparrow: its safe to run all those terminal / bash commands that the guy says there ? [ btw are terminal and bash synonimous ?] [19:42] is there anyone that watches HD movies on linux ? [19:42] i have a geforce 6200.. should i have to install NVIDIA-GLX or NVIDIA-GLX-NEW? [19:42] Brandon_: the basic idea is that the remote machine has to know who you are (man ssh-copy-id), and then you have to add your key to ssh-agent (which requires a single password entry) [19:42] Linux_Fresher, cli = terminal [19:43] I downloaded movie with 2 different endings in one mkv file and I cant select the other one. [19:43] Linux_Fresher, bash is a shell, terminal is the window that communicates with the shell [19:43] Linux_Fresher, YEs, I have used that page to compile every addon on that page with ubuntu gutsy... [19:43] Hey everyone [19:43] hey everyone!!! [19:44] any1 got an idea how i can get my system sounds back?.... [19:44] I have a computer with 4 SATA hard drives configured in a RAID 0+1 software RAID by the motherboard. (I thought I had real hardware RAID, only to learn it was phony after installing lots of software. This RAID configuration is divided into two partitions---one for Windows XP and one for Ubuntu. But it appears that Ubuntu is not going to be compatible with RAID 0+1 (stripped and mirrored). Is this correct? [19:44] Nibblyn: she could try this sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop, but id suggest a backup for important files [19:44] chai__: it's a fresh install... some progs were added. will tell her to delete that folders. Some way to reconfigure gnme under a text console (niuq: she can switch to a text console (cntr-alt-f1)? [19:44] !sound | DonkeyKong101 [19:44] DonkeyKong101: 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).

[19:45] Jack_Sparrow: okies, running all those commands in terminal now .. will be back if there is some issue .. btw .. this is just the beginning .. after fish start to swim on the cube, we are going on wine to make my WARHAMMER 40000 work through wine .. so start getting ready for that ;) [19:45] jack_Sparrow: its all set up correctly....and i can hear the login music...mp3 and movies work fine....but nothing else does...amsn has no sound..pigin has nothing [19:46] jerbear, how do I add my key to ssh-agent?

[19:46] jerbear, Well see. i have an additional soundcard witch I use. Mys ound works properly but in the GNOME GUI my sound device is muted, I can only adjust my volume through the command 'alsamixer' [19:46] hello xarquid [19:47] For some reason my menu bar at the top isnt loading now. I don't know why. It was fine last night. Any idea why the menu bar at the top isn't loading as well as the bar at the bottom isn't? When i boot. Gnome seems to boot as well as nautilus (sp?). I would like to know how to fix this. Thanks in advance. [19:47] Will Ubuntu work with any hardware RAID card, or are special linux drivers needed for hardware RAID? [19:47] Laney, If you wer changing effects and things linke that you may have changed it. [19:48] Pendeta: it depends on the card [19:48] Pendeta: Check Hardware compatibility list [19:48] Pendeta: all of the raid cards i've dealt with were not dependent on the OS [19:48] Pendeta, True hardware raid should be fine [19:48] Pendeta: the chances are you don't have a hardware raid card [19:48] Pendeta: Check on the hardware compatibility checklist. What card is it? If it is true hardware RAID it should be fine. If it is software based...eh, then you're possibly in for problems. [19:49] Lgndryhr: it seems last update fucked up with gnome [19:49] Pendeta, If it is built into your MB , it is most likely NOT hardware raid [19:49] Jack_Sparrow: i mean u gave me a command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and then u said to press tab and it is showing so many options and now i am asking which one to execute? [19:49] niuq, Please watcvh the language [19:49] Pendeta: what card is it? I've had no problems with things like the Dell Perc series cards and IBM equivalents [19:49] Lgndryhr: hey [19:49] Lgndryhr: panel trouble? [19:49] Xman, what do you see on your screen right now [19:50] Jack_Sparrow: sorry... [19:50] StefanW: Yes [19:50] I have fake raid now.

[19:51] Lgndryhr: ok, open a terminal :) [19:51] I downloaded movie with 2 different endings in one mkv file and I cant select the other one. [19:51] StefanW: you think this would work for reparing that panel trouble? sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [19:51] StefanW: so just do backspace + alt + ctrl [19:51] Devourer: If you have Time Sync turned on (to sync with a time server such a nist.gov) [19:51] Lgndryhr: no [19:51] StefanW: k [19:51] Lgndryhr: open a terminal :) [19:51] StefanW: lol k i have one open [19:52] Jack_Sparrow: i think i am getting somewhere here in understanding .. i ran the download and validate key command .. i dont have to use the terminal to run rest of the commands, i think they are now available in synaptic [19:52] xarquid, how do I do that? [19:52] jerbear, Yeah, but I don't see what I'm supposed to do with them to allow for no passwords. I mean my second server has the authorized_keys2 file that contains the public key for my first server. I'm just following tutorials and it's not working. [19:52] Jack_Sparrow: this is on the terminla now http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59171/ [19:52] Im thinking about loading ubuntu on my sisters pc she saw it on mine and only does facebook, myspace, email, and music.... Would this be a good idea. Her computer has windows xp right now with 78 infected files [19:52] Devourer: Are you using Gnome and is your Gnome Clock Applet running in a corner?

[19:52] xarquid, yes. [19:52] niuq: (gnome panels disappeared): do you raccomend "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-destop" or "delete folders .gconf and .gconfd"? [19:53] StefanW: what do i type in terminal? [19:53] Devourer: Actually, check this out: http://www.watchingthenet.com/enable-auto-time-synchronization-in-ubuntu-and-kubuntu.html - a good graphical guide for you. [19:53] Jack_Sparrow: did you saw that link [19:53] ? === articpenguin3800 is now known as penguin38 [19:53] Lgndryhr: hang on a sec, trying to do it here so you will not break anything ;) [19:53] Devourer: And then you'll be good to go. [19:53] Nibblyn: always be careful about deleting, try renaming them first. [19:54] StefanW: k thanks man [19:54] hey all. when i plug in my logitec cam i don't get a video driver to pop up in my 64bit os. [19:54] xarquid, thanks. [19:54] is there anyone that watches HD movies on linux ? [19:54] I downloaded movie with 2 different endings in one mkv file and I cant select the other one. [19:54] kjor: hum, of course, thanks [19:54] Xman, It should have breought up a gui.. are you on a server or something [19:54] !ntp [19:54] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [19:54] Jack_Sparrow: btw, one Q, i have a HD which has many music videos, now some icons appear as a movie reel, and some appear as the movie reel with a small red orange lock on them .. could u please explain that ? [19:54] Lgndryhr: ok buddy [19:54] StefanW: k [19:54] Nibblyn: np. I usually rename candidate directories if something acts up, that way it's easy to restore. [19:54] Jack_Sparrow: no i am on the ubuntu desktop [19:54] Brandon_: it's never going to be password-free unless you remove the password (which is nuts), you're only going to decrease the amount of times you have to enter it to 1 (using ssh-agent) [19:55] Linux_Fresher, No idea atm... perhaps no codecs for those? [19:55] Devourer: The above link may also help (the first link). If the one I gave you didn't help, but just keep it in mind. Have a great one and always ask back here if you need any help. [19:55] Lgndryhr: go to your home directory [19:55] Jack_Sparrow: i am using gutsy [19:55] StefanW: as in? [19:55] Lgndryhr: "cd ~" in a terminal will work === rd is now known as Castle [19:55] Xman, That command in a terminal should ask for your password and bring up a red and blue screen [19:55] Jack_Sparrow: i thought the same, but currently if i click either, it gives a window to find / download a codec .. which rules out the non-codec availability issue .. uploading a screenshot to imageshack [19:55] jerbear, wait if I wanted to type in a password I'd just type in the normal password for the user? What's the point then? [19:55] hello i am on ubuntu live cd and tried to install xp and it massed up my grub how can i install it again. i found a internet turorial which don't work [19:56] StefanW: k there [19:56] ubuntu 7.10 [19:56] !grub [19:56] 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 [19:56] StefanW, Lgndryhr: just "cd" will go to one's home directory too. [19:56] StefanW: yea i did that [19:56] Lgndryhr: now, "rm -r .gnome" [19:57] k [19:57] StefanW: k [19:57] Jack_Sparrow: i have used sudo just a moment before also to install mplayer that why its not asking for password but no red and blue screen man. [19:57] Lgndryhr: now, "rm -r .gnome2" [19:57] how do I set the default TERM in gnome-terminal? [19:57] Brandon_: you need to do some homework... ssh keys are (usually) guarded by a password. this is not the same as your login password. anytime you unlock your key (logging in to a machine or adding it to ssh-agent), you have to enter the key's password. using ssh-agent keeps the key loaded so that it can be reused without having to retype the password [19:57] StefanW: k [19:57] rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity all on one line works too [19:57] jerbear, actually why when I type ssh-add authorized_keys2 and type in the pass phrase it says it's a bad passphrase? [19:57] or that XD [19:57] Jack_Sparrow it desn't work [19:57] can I safely stop an upgrade (feisty to gutsy) while downloading?

[19:58] Forbidden [19:58] You don't have permission to access /community/GrubHowto on this server. [19:58] just downloading, xarquid [19:58] Brandon_: well, if you were actually doing some reading like i told you to, you would realize that the authorized_keys file is not a key, but a list of public keys that are allowed access to your account [19:59] amorphous: You can cancel it [19:59] amorphous: It will delete the files (they are in a temporary folder/location) [19:59] something is wrong with the community docs bengalkid [19:59] StefanW: k [19:59] xarquid, i take it not while upgrading then :? [19:59] the webpages are giving a 403 error [19:59] Lgndryhr: please restart gnome, or simply reboot your computer [19:59] bengalkid, You need to be specific.. I am usually involved in many conversations... What didnt work [19:59] hello, I need some help determining if Ubuntu has my wireless installed?

[20:00] THey must be working the pages over today getting ready for gutsy,.. try to be patient with them [20:00] StefanW: I shall try brb and let you know....thanks if it works [20:00] k [20:00] Jack_Sparrow website is down [20:00] jerbear, wow. So it's impossible to login from 1 server to another without a password securely? I was told it was and have been messing with this stuff for 4 hours [20:00] amorphous: I honestly do not know, I do not think it will revert. Once the upgrade has started (and not just downloading the files -- and the system is ACTIVELY upgrading/updating system files), I would not assume it is safe to stop it. I do not know, honestly, if there are "backups" or anything in place to revert back from an upgrade when stopped. [20:00] xarquid, i know it's speed related, but is the download generally the time consumer (dual core Pentium) [20:00] amorphous: It depends on the system and what you have installed. (Connection speed, installed packages, etc.). [20:01] Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the link, I actually didn't know the metacity folder held data that could influence the panels :) [20:01] what type of partition is needed for windows xp installation? [20:01] amorphous: I would say you're looking at about an hour after the download (max). [20:01] bengalkid check this link out: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [20:01] NTFS or FAT32 [20:01] Brandon_: yep, impossible to do it securely.... you can always do it insecurely, but i wouldn't recommend it. it's so easy to use ssh-agent, that's it would be silly not to [20:01] xarquid, lol, ok I set it to sync with the ubuntu ntp server but it still hasn't updated. [20:01] StefanW, np [20:02] Devourer: Perhaps try a different server? [20:02] StefanW i have a free space of fat32 but xp says not recognized [20:02] [20:02] xarquid, fair play... thanks - don't suppose you'd know.... gutsy claims to not use cups... you know what it uses instead offhand? [20:02] bengalkid, http://microdotsagamedev.wordpress.com/2007/06/08/repair-your-grub-loader/ [20:02] jerbear, http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/ <-- I keep finding tutorials like this. What are they talking about then? [20:02] xarquid, I tried some others. [20:02] StefanW: it worked thanks [20:02] Brandon_: luckily ubuntu has a pam module that you can use that will add your private key to ssh-agent automatically, provided that your key's password is the same as your login password [20:02] Lgndryhr: :) [20:02] xarquid, what was that one you said? The ntp.nstc.gov or w/e? [20:02] StefanW: any idea why it stopped working randomly [20:03] !ntp [20:03] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [20:03] Devourer: Have a look there on the first link, it lists some [20:03] bengalkid: explain a little more, you mean you made a partition in empty space? [20:03] Lgndryhr: did you play around with compiz? [20:03] Lgndryhr: or perhaps emeral? [20:03] jerbear, what does that mean? [20:03] StefanW: not lately.....at least not the past few days [20:03] xarquid, what first link? [20:03] Can someone help with my wireless adapter? I can't find it in Gutsy. [20:03] Lgndryhr: main reason for things going wrong it seems [20:03] StefanW yeap total of 6 + gb more empty [20:03] Brandon_, I know exactly what you mean about those tutorials :( [20:03] StefanW: havent had time to be on and do anything but type up a paper [20:04] what is that site called where you can find deb packages that has not hit the repositories yet? [20:04] Lgndryhr: other than that, not of fthe top of my head :) [20:04] Devourer: What ubot said what after me ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime ) [20:04] xomp, fresh gutsy install? [20:04] Brandon_: did you happen to read that page? FTA: "This will start the ssh-agent, add your default identity(prompting you for your passphrase)" [20:04] StefanW: k thanks again [20:04] bluefox83, pretty much, just a bunch of updates too [20:04] Brandon_: note the "prompting for password" part [20:04] xarquid - or am i misunderstanding & it's just gnome-cups-manager that's not in gutsy..? [20:04] bengalkid: fat32 partitions should be recognized by the windows XP installer [20:04] amorphous: It was replaced with system-config-printer [20:04] xomp, you may need to install drivers [20:04] morphir, I have a name for them.. but it cant be used in channel.... you can try getdeb.net [20:04] bluefox83, ok, I'm not sure what kind of wireless card this laptop has, is there a way to tell? [20:05] xomp, lspci [20:05] xarquid, is that still cups? (or should i just shut up & rtfm :( [20:05] amorphous: I mean -- gnome-cups-manager was replaced with system-config-printer ------> cups wasn't completely replaced. I still use cups. Just the frontend configuration was. You can still use cups if need be on the backend. [20:05] bengalkid: you can always try to make the partition NTFS in stead of FAT32 :) [20:05] hey any free djing sounds I can use with terminx [20:05] bluefox83, it's a built-in wireless for a compaq evo n610c [20:05] xarquid, that page is forbidden. [20:05] xomp, you're in for a pain, wireless is never fun [20:05] Jack_Sparrow, yeh getdeb was the url, thanks ;) [20:05] np [20:05] amorphous: gnome-cups-manager was just unmaintained so they replaced the package with a newer, better one :) [20:05] StefanW well i deleted the partition and said raw risk still says not recognizable [20:05] Brandon_: basically, if you set it up correctly, then the only time you have to enter your password is at the login screen [20:06] xarquid, I get a 403 error. [20:06] I am out of answers for now, I'll be back when I refill the bucket [20:06] bengalkid: ok, hang on... what are you doing [20:06] jerbear, yeah I followed the article but typeing "ssh-agent sh -c 'ssh-add < /dev/null && bash'" doesn't do anything [20:06] Brandon_: and PAM just passes it on to ssh-agent [20:06] StefanW..! :D ^ :D [20:06] bengalkid: you are trying to install windows XP to a new partition? [20:06] Devourer: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/NTP.html try that doc. [20:06] Hi. Installed Hardy. Want to reinstall Gutsy. Anyway I can do that without downloading and burning a new DVD? [20:06] Jack_Sparrow, where in this output is my wireless you suppose? http://pastebin.com/m44925888 [20:06] help.ubuntu.com doesnt work, (forbidden) [20:06] StefanW so i resized my big hd to make 6 gb free space for xp with gparted and i assigned it as fat32 [20:07] Brandon_: i wouldn't follow those articles word-for-word, there are much easier ways to do it [20:07] HI, ich habe hier ein paar Geile Bilder von mir reingestellt, damit du dir besser vorstellen kannst, wie ich aussehe Ich habe auch eine Cam, die ihr euch hier ansehen könnt.----Meine Webcam------> http://www.babsy18.gulli.to [20:07] is there a deb for alien arena 2008 around? [20:07] help.ubuntu.com is down apparently [20:07] xarquid, i got loads of problems with cups - and advice was to remove cups and drivers - but couldn't find anything to tell me how :( I tried autoremoving all the cups related packages, but the system wanted to remove Everything (openoffice, amarok - the works!) - you know how I can clean the system of cups & drivers without this happening? - even just a keyword to help me google... [20:07] bengalkid: and the windows installer can't recognize the partition? [20:07] ignore heidi20 . ban and kick [20:07] how can i change the extension on multiple files with the 'find' command? [20:07] jerbear, this migth be easier if I knew ubuntu more, but I have read a bunch of man pages and I'm getting no where. Can you just tell me the "easier way" [20:07] StefanW yes in empty partition, yes did not recognize i think it wants me to delete all the partition [20:07] xomp, line 12 [20:08] bengalkid: you should not have to [20:08] gotta love irc spam [20:08] Jack_Sparrow, thanks, so with it showing up there, would that indicate that my wireless adapter should be installed? [20:08] bengalkid: what you can try it let the windows XP installer create a partition in the empty space [20:08] xarquid, hence the upgrade option... but I'm worried I'll just be in the same boat... and I've hacked the hell out of cups from howto's :( [20:08] xomp, Sorry.. I need a break.. be patient, someone will help you [20:08] StefanW how do i check if my drives are mouted or not? [20:09] Brandon_: first make sure you have "libpam-ssh" installed, then make sure your key's password is the same as your login password, then logout and login. i think the libpam-ssh package should set itself up correctly without doing anything else [20:09] ok [20:09] xarquid: yeap [20:09] bengalkid: df -h [20:09] bengalkid: mounted?... how are you trying to install XP? directly from linux? O_o [20:09] jerbear, how do I check if I have libpam-ssh installed? [20:09] Hi, my sound works in Ubuntu Gutsy, but none of my audio jacks do. Would anybody be able to guide me to fix this? [20:10] Brandon_: sudo apt-get install libpam-ssh [20:10] amorphous: I'm not sure about the cups problem [20:10] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [20:10] tmpfs 506M 16M 491M 3% /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/volatile [20:10] tmpfs 506M 16M 491M 3% /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/volatile [20:10] varrun 506M 88K 506M 1% /var/run [20:10] varlock 506M 0 506M 0% /var/lock [20:10] udev 506M 84K 506M 1% /dev [20:10] devshm 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm [20:10] tmpfs 506M 12K 506M 1% /tmp [20:10] Anyone sure how to remove cups without it removing the decencies (i.e. OpenOffice etc.)?

[20:11] FTP* [20:11] Ette^: yes [20:11] brobostigon so what drives are those [20:11] and somehow now its not letting me use my nick as Linux_Fresher .. it replaced the last R with numerical 1 [20:11] weget ftp :) .-. thats the hole linux [20:11] jerbear, you mean I can't remove cups & re-install without removing my whole system??!? [20:11] Ette^: do man ftp [20:11] bengalkid: then remove the partition you made, leave empty space, reboot the system, boot with the windows XP install cd and let it create a partition inside the empty space [20:11] whats ubuntu written in? === hyrsch is now known as hyrsch_aw [20:12] tony_: thanks [20:12] would anyone want to pick up where Jack_Sparrow left off with me and my wireless? :) [20:12] kinabalu, in Borg{} [20:12] kingweasel: C or C++ i suppose .. mostly C i would bet [20:12] Ette^: np [20:12] jerbear: Apt should not consider Open Office dependent on Cups?

[20:13] programming language [20:13] jerbear, if I try to remove all cups related packages, it tries to remove most of the packages on the system :( [20:13] xomp: what does 'sudo iwconfig' say? [20:13] xomp: try dmesg [20:13] xomp: What kind of wireless card is it [20:13] amorphous: if they are dependent on cups, then, yes, it will remove them === seisen_ is now known as seisen [20:13] xomp: in a terminal, please type dmesg [20:13] amorphous: Those packages you listed -- I think they are metapackages. [20:13] !nfs [20:13] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.

As much as I like connecting to random servers. I just got a bash: apt-get: command not found [20:14] from one of them when I tried to install libpam-ssh [20:14] amorphous: Not the actual packages, but I am not sure without seeing the entire list of packages installed... [20:14] xarquid, whats's the diff between a package and a metapackage? [20:14] Brandon_: you don't have apt? you are using ubuntu, right? [20:14] amorphous: Answer me this -- is "ubuntu-desktop" on that list? That would be a meta package and can be safely removed. [20:15] Will Ubuntu 8.04 include OOo 2.4 with the nifty OpenGL effects? [20:15] When is Ubuntu Heron released? [20:15] april 2008 [20:15] hi [20:15] excellent [20:15] jerbear, I manage tons of servers. The main server is ubuntu... one moment. How do I see the OS of a server? [20:15] i think i've done something quite stupid and i need advice [20:15] amorphous: If you're unsure about the others you can always copy and paste the list of packages it's going to remove to a text file and save it *just in case* and then copy and paste to apt-get install CTRL+V ... if it does remove anything? [20:15] xarquid, the list I entered into apt-get autoremove? of the list of dependencies to be removed (no to first - yes (i think) to second) [20:16] tony_, # [20:16] 02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VM (KM) Ethernet Controller (rev 42) [20:16] StefanW, http://pastebin.com/m679a7819 [20:16] xomp: readong, hang on [20:16] i've deleted a load of user accounts i didn't think were needed - most notably dbus... was wondering if there's a way to undo my stupidity [20:16] *reading [20:16] xomp: what? [20:16] ah sorry [20:16] lol [20:16] Brandon_: if you don't have apt, i doubt you're using ubuntu... you do realize that libpam-ssh should be installed on your ssh clients, not the server, right? [20:16] i forgot i asked you something haha [20:17] yeah took me half an hour to select that dmesg bit lol [20:18] jerbear, I'm trying to connect to another server [20:18] xomp: what does 'iwconfig' say? === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [20:18] * lukus waits in line [20:18] ciao [20:18] Smellynose, no connections on lo and eth0 [20:18] Brandon_: that's fine, as long as your ssh client is ubuntu, then you can do what i'm saying [20:18] xomp: is your wireless card USB or integrated into your laptop?

[20:19] jerbear, I honestly think all of the servers are ubuntu. Not sure why apt-get is behaving funny [20:19] Jack_Sparrow: are you still here? [20:19] (i feel like a right doofus) [20:19] 5 [20:19] StefanW, http://pastebin.com/m44925888 [20:19] Brandon_: does "which apt-get" output anything?

[20:20] quick, we need 6 more people in here [20:20] 5 more [20:20] almost there [20:20] demon_spork ? why more people? [20:21] 1337 users [20:21] Rofl [20:21] lmao [20:21] Brandon_: either something is seriously wrong with your machine, or you are not using ubuntu [20:21] xomp: is there a button on your laptop to enable the wireless card? [20:21] StefanW, not that I'm aware of [20:21] xomp: what model is your laptop :)? [20:21] jerbear, one moment let me try this stuff on a 7.10 gutsy server. Like I said there's a lot of servers. I'm gonna tear that one down and redo it I guess then with 7.10 later [20:21] StefanW, it's a compaq evo N610c [20:22] jerbear: what does "lsb_release -a" output? [20:22] xomp: ok, hang on then :) [20:22] hi, im using snd-emu10k1 for my sound card, but i cant change treble or bass preferences? [20:22] suddenly , Firefox lost connection .. am i still readable in here ? [20:22] im connected to a FTP server, am i able to run commands like chmod on the machine im connected to? [20:22] brandon: what does "lsb_release -a" output? [20:22] StefanW, the wireless card is screwed on to the top of the laptop if that makes sense but is not a USB so I figure integrated? lol [20:22] lukus: I've never tried to repair that.... If you had the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files of a working ubuntu (same release) it 'might' be the same as what you had [20:22] sorry, jerbear [20:22] Brandon_: and like i said before... i'm only telling you to install libpam-ssh on your client machines, not servers [20:22] frank_... ok [20:23] frank_ - i'll have a think [20:23] jerbear, okay [20:23] lukus: which users did you remove? [20:23] can anyone link he to a howto apache? [20:23] Whenever I try to mount an NFS share on one ubuntu machine onto another Ubuntu machine, it always fails with a permission denied error, how do I get permission to access this?

I use 64bit [20:24] nvm [20:24] I fail [20:24] I didn't realize that I had to include the path from the actual root / of the remote system [20:24] rather than the root of the nfs mount === mojo_ is now known as mojo [20:24] when i close the lid to my laptop it turns off.. anyone know where i find settings to change that?

Namely, the box in question is going to be a home server / router and I want it to listen on the LAN (br0) not the WAN (eth1). Any advice/direction appreciated. [20:26] mojo: it's in the main httpd.conf file.. or whatever it is called these days.. look for a listen keyword..

[20:27] is there a way to have TOP report what sites are being accessed by an apache thred? [20:27] Slart: I see, it's just I ordered a new laptop with pretty high specs, 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM etc, and I want to fully utilise it, without having huge compatibility issues. Did you have many problems with drivers, or did you could you use the Windows versions with the likes of ndiswrapper? [20:27] sorry. [20:27] sfears did you set the right one? [20:27] * Viking667 recovers. [20:27] okay so which passwords have to be the same [20:27] mojo: ports.conf in /etc/apache2 [20:27] yeah.. i set them both [20:27] Now, what console mail packages are on Ubuntu on a fresh install? [20:27] Slart, okay... so the same place it has directives to listen on ports can be made to tell it which interfaces as well? Right now my httpd.conf shows ports only (80 and 443) [20:27] (as in, not evolution or thunderbird) [20:27] genii: i wonder if the text i type is going to this chat room .. can u read this ?

[20:29] StefanW, lol thanks so much for your help mate :) [20:29] Linux_Fresher gksu gdmsetup [20:29] frank_: I didn't buy with the sole intention of using Ubuntu, but I've been looking to try it out on something more powerful, and thought my new laptop would be a good start, thanks [20:29] <_julian> hi all [20:29] Linux_Fresher: I think there's is a auto-login option somewhere [20:30] Slart: That's not a problem, thanks very much [20:30] hi [20:30] <_julian> is the firmware for intel ipw2200 wlan adapters included in ubuntu 7.10? or do I have to run the setup through cabled connection and grab it then? [20:30] Brandon_: no [20:30] foo25: you're welcome [20:30] _julian: i think it is [20:30] foo25: I'm just saying choosing compatible hardware can avoid LOTS of frustration if you want to run linux [20:30] the ipw3945 is so I would assume yes [20:30] Slart: okies, secondly, do i have to install ALL stuff that comes from medibuntu ? [20:31] <_julian> faileas: cool, thanks [20:31] hi all - I want to make a little (my forst) bash script that does convert.sh -inputfile input_file -outputfile outputfile .... how do I read $input_file / $output_file from the commandline? [20:31] Linux_Fresher: System, administration, Login Window, Security.. there's automatic login [20:31] no Linux Fresher you can just install what you want [20:31] _julian if you cant get a cabled connection you can go to packages.ubuntu.com and get it [20:31] Slart: i am a very fresh user, unable to decide for myself or to understand exactly what the pkgs say [20:31] WorldOfWarcraft gamers here? [20:31] foo25: well, you can look it up at tuxmobile. i tend to stick to thinkpads, since they have a great linux resource [20:31] Linux_Fresher: huh? well. unless someone is holding a gun to your head I'd say no =).. [20:31] <_julian> noodlesgc: so it is not included? [20:31] noodlesgc: I know, unfortunately they didn't offer it with the model I bought [20:32] _julian i dont know [20:32] Linux_Fresher: you wanted to use a package from the mediubuntu repository? [20:32] frank_: I understand, thanks [20:32] foo25: what type is your laptop [20:32] Smellynose: thx, Also how hard is it to keep Ubuntu updated.. when 7.11 or such comes out? Is it a complete re-install, or is it just replacing the kernel etc.. [20:32] faileas: Thanks, I'll check it out [20:32] Slart: yup [20:32] ipe: I just ordered a Vostro 1700, with max specs [20:32] foo25: and once you buy a laptop, it's too late ;-) [20:32] Jgonick: I change my /etc/apt/sources.list to the new version and do: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, but I'm not sure if this is the recommended way to do things [20:32] robdeman: I'm guessing $1, $2 or something like that.. check the bash manual.. "man bash" or google for "bash parameter variable" [20:32] Slart: basically i want everything to work .. trying to convert to linux from windows [20:33] frank_: True =P [20:33] why firestarter is turning off all the time? [20:33] Some wine experts in the room? [20:33] cat $1 | sed -e 's/monkey/badger/g' [20:33] Slart: so downloaded some stuff which i thought 'relevant' from medibuntu .. wanted to know if i need all the stuff that they list there [20:33] Linux_Fresher: *from* linux *to* windows? oh boy.. you're in the wrong channel then =) [20:33] its been doing that for a while md5x [20:33] Slart: I dont want to use $1 but $the_real_parameter_name [20:33] microwaver i might be able to help [20:33] robdeman: I don't think it gets any more real than $1 [20:33] lol [20:33] Slart: O U C H !! the other way round i mean !! :D [20:33] seisen, is it a bug? [20:33] ipe: That's Dell by the way =P [20:34] Slart ah mmm so convert.sh --inputfile = myfile is not readable as $inputfile or something? [20:34] noodlesgc, do you have any expierience with WoW on wine? [20:34] microwaver no [20:34] I have no idea I know i did it me for a while but what ever settings you have set they will still be there [20:34] why firestarter is turning off all the time? [20:34] microwaver your best shot is to ask in #wine [20:34] I'm using windows right now, and I connect to my wireless network named "linksys" (with no password security), but when I try to but up my coputer with ubuntu, it insists that network named "linksys" needs a password [20:34] Linux_Fresher: well.. if you enable a repository I think ubuntu will download and install anything it finds there.. if it's newer than the stuff you already have.. if you only need one file you can get the deb-package and install that without enabling the repository.. but then you'll miss out on any updates and such [20:34] noodlesgc, I don't get it. he detects my drivers etc. but still only get 2.5 fps :-) [20:34] Smellynose: thanks for the info. [20:35] robdeman: I don't think so.. there might be some sneaky way to do it but I've never seen it [20:35] md5 it crashes on my system too [20:35] When I check in windows, it says that there is another network named "linksys" and it has WEP security. [20:35] jerbear, it's still asking me for the passphrase every time. Did I skip a step? [20:35] robdeman: but google for bash parameter name howto bla bla bla something.. see what kind of hits you get [20:35] noodlesgc, i'm a total xchat noob [20:35] noodlesgc, is it just /join #wine ? [20:36] microwaver type /join #wine [20:36] yeah I tried google well I will use $1 $2 :) [20:36] For somereason I'm picking up the other network, and not the one I want to be picking up [20:36] robdeman: I think there's a channel for bash scripting too.. #bash or something.. might ask there too === asoi is now known as xoRock [20:36] Brandon_: you're trying to ssh from one server to another? [20:36] noodlesgc, thank you! [20:36] Slart: ok .. hold on .. big text coming [20:36] jerbear, yes from my main server to another cups server. It's asking for the passphrase [20:36] poseidon: You can set the bssid using iwconfig [20:36] hi guys, I've been trying to figure out how to limit the memory usage (ram) for a linux user? can anyone point me in the right direction? === RT|AFK is now known as Randomtime [20:37] Linux_Fresher: don't copy paste big things ehre.. use pastebin½!!!! [20:37] !Paste | Linux_Fresher [20:37] Linux_Fresher: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [20:37] smellynose, How do I find the bssid? === Randomtime is now known as randomtime === randomtime is now known as Randomtime [20:37] poseidon: iwlist wlan0 scan [20:37] Brandon_: and why do you think libpam-ssh would help you when you don't have an x session running? [20:38] poseidon: If both WAP's have the same ssid and security, then you may be able to get it from your router config [20:38] Emilian: hmm.. sounds interesting.. googling for it didn't give you anything? [20:38] an x-session? What's that? [20:38] Slart: Did you notice much better performance with x64? [20:38] Slart: okies basically one command to get the medibuntu library [ i think ] and second to get the key to validate it .. most probably it updated stuff in 'synaptic' [20:38] hi if i want to convert a .doc to pdf what tool to use? [20:38] doc2pdf? Does that exist? [20:38] !doctopdf [20:38] Factoid doctopdf not found [20:38] nios openoffice [20:38] nios: you could use OOo [20:39] jerbear, you said libpam-ssh would make everything work :X are you not telling me something critical? They have the same passwords. [20:39] Slart: atleast now when i 'search' synaptic with string 'medibuntu' .. lots of stuff pkgs turn up there .. i am very inexperienced in linux to find out which i need [20:39] slart, nope I did not find anything..it all deals with the 4 gig ram limit [20:39] thanks Slart & genii - I found docs on the LISTEN directive at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/bind.html which shows me how to do what I want (I think) [20:39] foo25: my desktop is way fast than my laptop.. yes.. but it has a much faster processor, much more memory etc so it isn't really a fair comparison.. from what I've heard the differences isn't that big.. you'll probably not be able to use all of your memory using the 32 bit version though [20:39] I think I've got compiz enabled, but I'm not sure. How do I check? Also, how do I disable/reenable it if I need it on/off for a while? [20:40] Linux_Fresher: I wouldn't worry about it then.. install the program using synaptic, or apt-get and you'll be fine [20:40] AHemlocksLie System->Preferences->Appearence, then visual effects tab [20:40] Emilian: yes.. I think that's what you're looking for [20:40] nios, just open it in openoffice and select export to pdf [20:40] Slart: Yeah, it was the memory concern which was swaying me mostly, thanks [20:40] can anyone help me in updateing my system bios ? i have a dell inspiron 6400 ( e1505 in the USA ) i have downloaded what was required but when i type: aptitude install $(bootstrap_firmware -a). i get a load of couldnt find any package whose name or description mathed..... and so on [20:40] Slart: oh the question is which all i install ? there is a big list there [20:40] Slart: i can upload a screenshot if u want [20:41] noodlesgc, it's on "Normal" right now, so I'm guessing I don't have compiz configured or something? [20:41] Linux_Fresher: why did you want the mediubuntu repo in the first place? it's not something you read on the milk-carton in the morning =) [20:41] slart, I am looking to limit per user not for the server if that makes sense, so I want to allocate 512 megs for user anne, 1 gig for Joe etc. [20:41] anyone help me ^ ??? [20:41] i think i hate centerim [20:41] Emilian: yes.. I understand.. I'm googling myself here.. I'll let you know if I find anything [20:41] AHemlocksLie normal means it is enabled. [20:41] Slart: dont you mean"medibuntu"?? [20:41] jerbear, oh do I have to add a keyfile? [20:41] slart, thanks [20:41] medibuntu, mediubuntutu.. whatever =) [20:41] AHemlocksLie set it to "none" to turn it off [20:41] but yes.. that's the one [20:42] noodlesgc ah, okay, thanks. [20:42] Slart: it could confuse someone, could mean they dont find the right thing. [20:42] Slart: i have one hard drive which has many music videos on it .. some files have icon of a movie reel, and some have movie reel with a small orange lock on them .. first i thought it had something to do with the codecs .. but when i click on any of those icons, it says i dont have the codec .. so someone in this channel said i need medibuntu .. btw i am VERY FRESH in linux .. my first try at it so i cant decide too much for myself [20:43] Slart: can u explain me why some files have that orange lock icon and some dont have it ? its not related to codec i think [20:43] Linux_Fresher: try installing vlc, it's a media-player that comes with almost everything included.. it plays wmv's, avi's, mpeg's etc etc.. you can install it by running this in a terminal "sudo apt-get install vlc" [20:43] jerbear, nvm it's one of the default one... [20:43] I'm running hardy heron alpha 6, how can i manually set the screen resolution? I need it at 1280 x 800. [20:44] Linux_Fresher: the orange lock is probably a permissions thingy.. means you're not allowed to read those files.. [20:44] !hardy | jamey-uk [20:44] jamey-uk: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [20:44] Slart: but i OWN these hard drives >.< [20:44] noodlesgc: thanks [20:44] brobostigon: indeed.. I will take better care in the future.. and go to bed without dessert =) [20:44] Slart: and these all files work perfectly through windows xp [20:44] Linux_Fresher relax, you can change it easily [20:44] Linux_Fresher: well.. you have to tell your ubuntu-machine that too =) [20:44] jamey-uk - you can try running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:45] Linux_Fresher: it's easy to fix.. [20:45] umm ok, but then why only SOME files have that icon ? [20:45] Hi, could any one give me a pointer to resolving "Mar 10 20:25:00 machinename pptp[15633]: anon log[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:407]: buffering packet 581 (expecting 578, lost or reordered). I'm getting hundreds of these in the logs when I establish a PPTP connection to an ISA Server 2004. [20:45] StefanW: there is another problem now [20:45] they are all in same hd and in same folder [20:45] Linux_Fresher: that's a bit more difficult to answer.. I would have expected it to be all files or none.. not some [20:45] Slart: i can upload a screenshot [20:46] Linux_Fresher: sure, do that [20:46] Lgndryhr: which would be :) ? [20:46] Linux_Fresher: or even better.. pastebin the output of this command "ls -l /path/to/the/drive/in/question" [20:47] Linux_Fresher: or just use cd to go to the folder with the movies.. and then just do a "ls -l" [20:47] StefanW: now my login is different and all of a sudden it lost all my settings for my desktop and such [20:48] Slart: errr !! weak !! those files which had a default read only attrib in windows when they were downloaded have that lock icon !! lol .. i am real stupid and weak in linux !! :D [20:48] StefanW: I know i had to reset everything but now all of it is gone [20:48] Slart: i think thats the most probable explaination for that icon =) [20:48] Lgndryhr: yes, you will have to redo all your settings :) [20:48] StefanW: after i had reset the stuff once [20:48] Linux_Fresher: ah.. problem solved.. you can right click on the files and see the permissions there.. even change them if you want [20:49] ok, who is knowledged in orinoco driver installs for Gutsy? heh seems I need to install them to get my hoakie wireless working :S [20:49] Slart: it wont let me do that .. it says i dont own those files .. root owns them .. [20:49] i recently did a sudo apt-get upgrade on my laptop (it hasn't been upgraded in about 2 months), and now my wireless mouse doesn't work. the touchpad, however, still works. does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? [20:49] StefanW: i know i had to redo the stuff but i already did once we got my stuff working again. I restarted the computer real quick a 2nd time and now all of it is gone. [20:49] Linux_Fresher: this drive.. is it a NTFS drive? or FAT32 ? [20:49] Slart: NTFS [20:49] !ntfs | Linux_Fresher [20:49] Linux_Fresher: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [20:49] Lgndryhr: it discards the settings? [20:50] check those links, Linux_Fresher. Lots of useful info there [20:50] StefanW: it did on 2nd restart [20:50] Slart: no wait .. ubuntu is on NTFS, the music video holder HD is Fat 32 [20:50] Lgndryhr: hm, that's new to me [20:50] i mean ubuntu is on hard drive which has one ntfs partition which i resized to give 5 gbs to ubuntu .. the other hd which has music videos is FAT 32 [20:50] hey there. [20:51] Linux_Fresher: what is the path to this folder? something like /media/disk ? or /media/sda2 or similar [20:51] StefanW: yea [20:51] Anyone know what an x session is? It's not in the man pages. Does is it like a number x? like 1 session? [20:51] !x-session | Brandon [20:51] Factoid x-session not found [20:51] StefanW: I am doing a quick test by doing a few things then going to restart btw i need help with something else if u dont mind [20:51] Slart: /media/hda5/metalvideos2 [20:51] so, I just learned never to ls for things you are looking for to rm from a different directory than you are rming from... (goes back to recompiling...) [20:51] Brandon_ an x session is basically when you into x [20:51] Emilian: here's some info.. http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/02/07/linux-resource-controls/ [20:52] Lgndryhr: try making a new user account [20:52] Lgndryhr: log in with that, see if that account suffers the same problems :) [20:52] Lam - check your xorg.conf file... that may have been clobbered by a newer version if xorg got updated. however, if that is the case your old config should still be lurking around. check in /etc/X11/ for those files [20:52] noodlesgc, "you into x" ? Like open a session? [20:52] StefanW: k i shall hold on [20:52] !x-session | saltera [20:52] Lgndryhr: k [20:52] i got a question about audio .cue files. I have one that was made in EAC and i cant get any of my programs such as brasero or k3b to accept this file. any suggestions [20:52] somehow i cannot kill some emacs processes i stopped... nomatter my priviledges... someone know what might be going on? [20:52] Brandon_ *log into x [20:53] Linux_Fresher: ok.. I'm not sure this is the right way.. but we might as well give it a try.. try running this command in a terminal "sudo chmod -R a+rw /media/hda5/" it will take a while for it to go through all the files on the drive.. [20:53] gilster32 - is this a cue/bin file? [20:53] what do I have to add to my sources list to get the latest PHP release? [20:53] Linux_Fresher: chmod is a command that changes file persmissions.. a+rw means to give all users read and write permissions.. -R means recursive..

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [20:54] noodlesgc, thanks. I kind of figured that's what it meant but it didn't make sense [20:54] danand: i wasn't sure if that was the problem or not, so i did a dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg and set everything back the way it was. it still doesn't work :-/ [20:54] cminion: not even with sudo kill -9 ? [20:54] danand: it is just a .cue file made from ripping a cd to flac files using EAC [20:54] Hi. [20:54] what is the settings manager for compiz fusion called? [20:54] sadaiyappan: ccsm [20:54] I'm trying to coax my Eee PC into running an Ad Hoc network but its having none of it, Network Manager just sits there connecting to 'null' for 30 seconds then falls back, any suggestions? [20:54] Slart: its alright .. i just wanted to know if the lock is related to codec or something else .. tx for the input though .. btw can u explain me how to get THIS on my cube ? --> http://aycu15.webshots.com/image/46534/2000287317936092481_rs.jpg [20:54] olá tem algum brasileiro aqui?

[20:55] gilster32 - not sure that this will help then but take a look at the bchunk package... apt-cache show bchunk for info to see if that will help you out [20:55] !br | Vanderlei [20:55] Vanderlei: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [20:55] Jack_Sparrow: i think its part of that medibuntu .. not sure though [20:56] how do i update blender 2.44 to blender 2.45... i dont know how to compile stuff...... [20:56] Oh and obviously I've installed Ubuntu (Gutsy) on it [20:56] !compile RoCUnreal [20:56] seisen: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:56] danand: i am trying to do exactly that. but there is not bin file [20:56] jerbear, Thanks for you help today. I'm gonna spend 5 more hours on this tomorrow before I'm gonna have to find another way. [20:56] Linux_Fresher: ah.. you've seen the cube.. and now you want it.. =).. use compiz.. install the compiz config settings thingy.. bind a keyboard shortcut for it. and tadaaa!!

[20:57] depending on how many dependicies are involved [20:57] hi [20:57] seisen, im going to give it a try [20:57] seisen: ist usually broken down like this: 1) untar 2) ./configure 3) make 4) make install [20:57] Linux_Fresher: nope.. it's the same cube.. there might be some settings you can change.. but that's it.. so you mean you want the fishes? and the background? [20:57] Slart: i want those fish !! [20:57] install "build-essential" RoCUnreal [20:57] can someone help me install this orinoco driver for my wireless? I'm a bit confused :S [20:57] Slart: yup and the backgrounds !! [20:57] gilster32 - the info says thats sometimes .cue and .raw rather than bin/cue. do you have any .raw files? [20:57] Linux_Fresher: that is the 3d windows pluging [20:57] build essential? [20:58] err not seisen, direct that last comment to RoCUnreal [20:58] installable, guide available on the forums :) [20:58] StefanW: ok .. so how do i get it ? [20:58] anyone successfuly install pdo_mssql on ubuntu?? [20:58] anyone? upgrading to the latest PHP? [20:58] Anyone the least bit familiar with netbooting ubuntu? [20:58] Linux_Fresher: the fishes are not a part of the offical package.. here's a thread about it from the forums.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580613 [20:59] danand: i got flac files and one cue file. has cd layout - - breaks, pauses, indexes, etc. [20:59] RoCUnreal: you need to keep in mind that apt might not like having packages it doesnt know about installed, you will probably want to make your own debian package and then install it with that and tell apt to hold that version [20:59] !info build-essential | RoCUnreal [20:59] rocunreal: build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB [20:59] Slart: okies, lets say i figure out how to run commands to install the 3D pakage, later on though, where do i find it to tweak with it ? [20:59] Linux_Fresher: I think the fishes part might be called atlantis.. part of a screensaver for ubuntu [21:00] this all sounds so complexed, for a windows xp user like my self [21:00] gilster32 - have you tried running that through bchunk ? [21:00] Hello all [21:00] Linux_Fresher: read the entire thread.. visit the url's they mention.. you can ask more questions about compiz in #compiz-fusion ... that's a channel especially for compiz effects [21:00] RoCUnreal it will be installed in Hardy when its releaesed [21:00] Jeeves2: i 've got upgraded form official package [21:00] anyone familiar with changing the boot screen from the default brown ubuntu? (version 7.10) [21:01] seisen, you cant like extract and install it? [21:01] hi [21:01] webik: I'm working on trying to install 5.2.5. I need it for Diferior [21:01] There is a program within 7.10 that let's you do it. You just have to install it.

Does it do it automaticaly or do I have to reinstall? [21:03] RoCUnreal you can also find it here but proceed with caution: http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=1527 [21:03] Jeeves2: in official repo 7.10 are 5.2.3 [21:03] herky: do you mean the splash screen? this one? http://www.ubufied.com/images/ubuntu610_installation/splash_screen.jpg [21:03] Some easy way I can tell if my ubuntu is intel?

[21:06] subsume - uname -a will give you a load of output about the system your running - if you have an i686 (or similar) then that pc is based on intel architecture [21:06] cpk1: http://paste.stgraber.org/1383 32?

[21:06] nice. [21:06] Linux_Fresher: perhaps not everything you installed has an icon to start it with.. skype should show up in "Applications, Internet" though [21:06] subsume - yes ... intel :) [21:06] question: Is there one utility I can use to determine the total free disk space on a device?

[21:30] Jgonick: 1.5 times ram is more reasonable.. or even less if you have lots of memory.. but if you want to use suspend to disk I think you have to have at least as much as you have ram [21:30] is solaris as updated and good as linux? [21:30] tyger: an mpeg video, vlc [21:30] bengalikid - you need to make sure that the free space you made is on a primary rather than a logical partition. WinXP likes its own primary partition. it does not share partitions with other OS's. can you see your disks if you run the gparted tool on the live CD? [21:30] bengalikid, its very different, in 3d its not nearly as good [21:30] Daviey: btw no hardware fault with microphone , works perfectly under windows .. here when i boost volume slider under microphone to MAX, i hear lot of 'noise' but my speech is very low volume [21:30] hi, I was wondering if older versions of ubuntu are available somewhere [21:31] Anyone have info on Atheros AR5007EG wireless card working successfully with WPA-PSK security under 7.10?

I would like to try if my notebook (Samsung X20) can boot from a SD-Card. I only have this 256mb SD-Card. Any ideas how to make it bootable? Can I install ubuntu on it? [21:32] wxPython: it uses modules with the .py extension, not headers [21:32] bengalikid - you can have as many as four primary partitions i believe, and yes that is like four seperate disks on one disk. logical partitions are slightly different though [21:32] is this a problem I caused myself or a known one? [21:32] Jgonick: if you are just running a desktop and have 3gB of ram might not even need a swap [21:32] tyger: to play mpeg vids, all you need is "vlc" thats it. [21:32] Starnestommy so there is no such thing as a python header file? [21:32] * lmg is lost [21:32] jgonick i run compiz with 2gigs and I dont think I even use swap [21:33] z_is_the_new_a: 256Mb is not enough to install a graphical ubuntu.

[21:47] Quick question, anyone know why the iptables wouldn't keep an allowance you try to add? I've tried about a dozen times to add ssh to my iptables, and the ONLY WAY IT WORKS is for me to run firestarter, but I don't want that running, since it's a multi-user box...I want it to just work via iptables...

[21:48] cpk1, nm-applet is program run under the networking icon on the task-bar. Is there some other front-end I should be using (as nm-applet DOES crash!). I have installed wpa-supplicant... but I don't see it being used. At one point, I ran wpa_supplicant, produced the entries for /etc/interface/network, but this did not work. Using network-admin (same as system | admin | network) produces it's own entries in /etc/interface/network, b [21:48] DoothNoto: sorry.. "connect to server" [21:49] Lgndryhr: Or is it "supported". [21:49] BinaryFu: nope nor do i know what that exactly is.....was just starting to read on it [21:49] BinaryFu: iptables are reset on boot. You need to save it with iptables-save when you shut down, then restore it with iptables-restore on boot [21:49] BinaryFu: my older kernel recognizes me wireless usb adapter and such [21:49] BinaryFu-> what do you mean you need allowance for ssh? [21:49] hello [21:49] Lgndryhr: Basically, it allows you to use drivers from windoze in Ubuntu. [21:49] amenado: I'm trying to cut an opening for port 22 for ssh for external connections. [21:50] BinaryFu: kinda odd that 2.6.22 doesnt see it but 2.6.17 does [21:50] Lgndryhr: Too true. [21:50] afk for a bit. [21:50] BinaryFu: will i need to install ndiswrapper [21:50] BinaryFu: or is there another way [21:50] BinaryFu-> okay you try to insert an opening, what was the rule you added? [21:50] BinaryFu: i know my comp can see it plugged in [21:51] BinaryFu: as well as the network configuration but for some reason i can't get any internet [21:51] BinaryFu: it makes me mad lol [21:51] Lgndryhr-> which wifi do you have? which chip is it? [21:51] BinaryFu: brb [21:51] bengalikid - the paritition you created for XP is not a primary partition. If you've tried to install XP to that partition it may well have overwritten stuff in your ubuntu installation. That would explain why your having problems booting after trying to install XP. If possible i would suggest, backing up any data you have on that disk via the live cd and reinstalling. Note - when you reinstall create two primary partitions - one for Windows and one for Ubu [21:52] is thath the code for mount a network share : [21:52] mount -t smbfs //smb://192.168.0.4/World of Warcraft /mnt [21:52] can anyone help me squeeze a few extra FPS out of a game running in Wine?

You also told me before you were using ubuntu.. and after you wasted a lot of my time .. you were not... you were using ultimate. [22:38] Darkmystere, but your updating the distro to Hardy... [22:38] hi [22:38] !hardy | Darkmystere [22:38] Darkmystere: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu === Byan_ is now known as Byan [22:39] Hmpf.

[22:39] what is the iptables file for ubuntu ? I'm trying to find it to open a port for external access [22:39] Lgndryhr - ok. well you should have wireless drivers for that rt2500 in the 2.6.22 kernel... do you not see them? [22:39] does anyone have a favorite guide to the unix directory structure? [22:39] danand: thats what i said earlier but i think u missed it......there is no drivers for it in the 2.6.22 kernel [22:40] Jack_Sparrow, Take a look at my source.lst [22:40] Jack_Sparrow, I REMOVED Ubuntu Ultimate. [22:40] Lgndryhr - /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rt2x00/rt2500pci.ko and /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rt2x00/rt2500usb.ko [22:40] anyone knows how to install Basislisk II???

I just installed 7.10 on a new Dell PC and used the "restricted drivers" applet to install drivers for my ATI X1300 card. However, when I boot I get a blank screen. How do I remove that driver again from the commandline (rescue mode)? [22:42] xobius > sweet thanks this looks great [22:42] sander_m, No need to remove the driver.. it just didnt id something correctly.. one sec.. [22:42] Okay. [22:42] Lgndryhr-> if they are loaded, what do you get when you type iwconfig ? [22:43] Lgndryhr - cool :D [22:43] sander_m, From a terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg for a start [22:43] I am following a guide for installing ubuntu on a vista machine with dual boot. It says in the guide that during installation, ubuntu's partitioner should detect Vista's bootloader but it's not showing up. I'm afraid to proceed because I don't want to lose my Vista partition/bootloader? Is there a fix for this? [22:43] my conky is stuck over windows and has shadowing how do i fix this? [22:43] danand: but it is not in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless [22:43] Jack_Sparrow, I really didnt know it wasnt supported....so your gunna restrict me from all help because of that what i did by default was the thing of sight well my common sense was if it Looks like a duck smells like a duck and tastes like a duck....what is it well i thought Obviously A DUCK... [22:44] Lgndryhr - you might want to change to the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel ... that may have a lot more modules enabled. [22:44] Darkmystere, the problems you are having are CLEARLY not common to a clean install of Ubuntu.. yea.. it smells alright [22:44] Hi, any idea for add a list of streams online (Radio) to Rhythmbox? (i have more 20 streams and its tedius add each one manually) [22:44] danand: there is less in my generic one [22:44] danand: A LOT less [22:45] Jack_Sparrow, Ive had this Ubuntu since i first started asking for help here remeber about 6 months ago..

[22:45] Slart: thanks for the links. i'll take another look tomorrow. bedtime for me [22:45] i will use a try then [22:45] danand: also it is not there either [22:45] Jack_Sparrow, remeber sound problems.. [22:45] ScorpKing: good night [22:45] erUSUL: it said no such partition [22:45] Lgndryhr-> if they are loaded, what do you get when you type iwconfig ? [22:45] Lgndryhr - did you compile that kernel yourself or install using apt? [22:45] danand: i dont remember to be honest [22:45] erUSUL: could I just copy the menu.lst from the hardy partiton, and paste it in the menu.lst of this partition? [22:45] here is a pastebin of my .conkyrc http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59199/ [22:45] sander_m: still have your problem ? [22:46] Lgndryhr - :O [22:46] Jack_Sparrow: I did that and picked the fglrx driver. Still a blank screen at boot [22:46] rhs: yes [22:46] danand: lol is there a way i can uninstall it and reinstall it? [22:46] Jack_Sparrow, how can i redeem my self i really didnt know that distribution wasnt supported...and i didnt think that it comming with automatix and envy matterd because i never used them. [22:46] gravemind: everything would have to be EXACTLY the same [22:46] erUSUL: hardy is on /dev/sda9 [22:46] gravemind: you can copy the estanza from the hardy menu.lst (if any) to the gutsy menu.lst [22:47] erUSUL: ok [22:47] sander_m, for now pick vesa as your card, 1024x768 max res and use tab or enter to accept all other defaults [22:47] sander_m: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver from fglrx to vesa [22:47] sander_m, Just want to get you back into basic gui [22:47] Jack_Sparrow & rhs: Okay [22:47] gravemind: the 144 line is wrong... should be just like the others ^root^ (hd0,6) [22:47] I'm having trouble installing a crontab. I think. I tried settings the command mplayer ~/alarm.ogg at a certain time and it would fail to launch. I tried this multiple times, each time incrementing the minute at which it should run to no avail. However, then I tried adding >> ~/cronoutput and it would work flawlessly. Can anyone explain this behaviour? [22:47] sander_m, sudo nanoi if you want to edit manually [22:47] sudo nano [22:47] Darkmystere-> just get yourself a new copy of liveCD iso and we can install it from a hd. [22:48] Lgndryhr - :) if i was you i would try an install of the standard kernel from ubuntu - sometimes they patch with additional drivers etc. try sudo apt-get -s install linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic and see what output you get [22:48] danand: is there? [22:48] <^root^> erUSUL: :D [22:48] Lgndryhr - sllllooooowwwww typist :) [22:48] danand: ack flood of stuff there sorry lol [22:48] who knows a good firewall for ubuntu 7.10 with network-admin??? [22:48] amenado, ok...ill never use anything from not ubuntu again...now that i know if they come with certain things... [22:48] erUSUL: ah, ok - I Thought that was referring to the partition number -- gutsy is on sda8, and hardy is on sda9, that's why I changed it [22:49] I'll change it to 6 instead [22:49] danand: i got this [22:49] linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic is already the newest version. [22:49] linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic set to manual installed. [22:49] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

[22:50] Jack_Sparrow, if you looked at my sources.lst youll noticed that ive installed AWN to go with compiz some madwifi things Some fiesty backports and restricted backports in multiverse.. [22:50] danand: i am removing it and going to reinstall it [22:50] hi, my new printer icon won't appear each time i try installing a new printer [22:50] Darkmystere-> i didnt even know you were using from some unsupported distro, i know that it seems its been a while that you been asking for assistance, good thing someone recognize the symptoms of unsupported distros to advise you.

It simply doesn't show any availible wireless networks. HOWEVER i can do a 'iwlist scanning' and see everything great... HELP me please [23:01] Jack_Sparrow, i already tried that. [23:01] bowsercake, everything is up yes [23:01] while playing music, i can hear strong buzzing at low tone parts; i have ac 97 sound card (thinkpad t41p). This doesn't happen under windows. what may be the cause of this ? [23:01] * nickrud surfaces, then sinks back [23:01] cminion: does the app work on a higher, non-priveleged port? [23:02] Darkmystere-> i dont know then, how to resolve that if aptfix havent taken care of those dpkg issues [23:02] giorgos: open a terminal and run the command 'alsamixer'. It does the volumes on various devices. See if any are muted, you can press the 'm' key to toggle mute. Also, you can press the up and down arrows to adjust volume and move to different device. Make sure that all devices are not muted and the volume is up. Then try playing music or watching youtube or something. [23:02] KiD_ChAoS, system/administration/network is there anything hardcoded in the properties of your network card? [23:03] Darkmystere-> you may have to rebuild the dpkg database, which i have not done myself yet.. [23:03] amenado.update-manager depends on python-dbus; however: [23:03] Package python-dbus is not configured yet. [23:03] i have a question, if I am connected to the internet, it is fine, but if I go offline, and try to shutdown, the system gets hung up trying to shut down eth0 and eth1. Any ideas? [23:03] Darkmystere-> i have not used aptfix yet, ever.. [23:03] sfears, no im using KDE byt he way, but no it just says roaming there [23:04] sander_m, Please make a copy of your xorg and try this edited one.. http://paste.stgraber.org/1389 [23:04] turn off roaming mode KiD_ChAoS [23:04] darkcrab, how do you know that's what it's getting hung up on [23:04] amenado, my main problem is that its configuring out of order..and things that depend on packages are trying to get installed first [23:04] darkcrab-> someone here at one time suggested modifying an event script, i can not recall which though.. netxx [23:04] hmm i think i found the cause - in mixer PCM was set to max; when i lowered it a bit, buzzing gone away even though i turn up main volume [23:04] !dialup [23:04] the shutdown screen, the orange with black one, goes into the text, and stops at eth0 [23:04] You want to connect via dial-up?

[23:05] Phantom-Ex: on ubuntu/debian nothing [23:05] Darkmystere-> yeah thats bad if it cant determine/manage which one should install first.. [23:05] I am following a guide for installing ubuntu 7.10 on a vista machine with dual boot. It says in the guide that during installation, ubuntu's partitioner should detect Vista's bootloader but it's not showing up. I'm afraid to proceed because I don't want to lose my Vista partition/bootloader? Is there a fix for this? [23:06] you dont have a backup for vista arternius? [23:06] cpk1, it says operation not permitted [23:06] artenius, it will instll grub as the boot loader & should allow you to boot into vista fine [23:06] WhoaItsPhil: do both of those using sudo [23:07] artenius; what sfears said, but to double check which tut are you using? === acikers_ is now known as scuko_gost [23:07] artenius: see if you can set the partitions manually and make sure not to delete the vista one. grub should find te windows partiton [23:07] amenado, trying to get hands on this ISO of Hardy....no luck yet the download is slow i usualy get better peer-peer.. [23:07] ok, I'll just hope grub sorts it out [23:07] thanks [23:07] erUSUL: RoAkSoAx: alright it worked!I'm on hardy [23:07] amenado, 9 hrs :p...

[23:07] Darkmystere-> really? thats one busy place.. [23:07] can anyone help? i need to shutdown x to install nvidia [23:07] cpk1 i did...it won't connect...it's no different than selecting the network from the list on the drop down menu in the interface [23:08] sander_m, Have you enabled the restricted drivers in the menu? [23:08] why do you need to do that A86 [23:08] amenado, im trying to get it anyways before main release you know how that day is..

Same way just with higher Function keys? [23:08] Darkmystere-> okay, good luck..am off for a few.. [23:08] sunbird crash or freeze. can anyone help ? [23:08] A86 - Why? And easiest would be to boot recovery mode if you want to have a shell w/o X. And most likely what you are trying to do you can do in a terminal just restart X and it will applly [23:08] i don't think you need to shutdown to install nvidia drivers.. you just need to reboot after you enable them [23:08] sander_m, I prefer to avoid three finger salute.. log out and in should do it.. remember too sudo dpkg-rec.. you used earlier [23:09] Jack_Sparrow: Yes. System >> Administration >> Restricted drivers says that the ATI driver is enabled but not in use [23:09] installer says i am still running x, and to make sure x is shutdown [23:09] sander_m, go for it [23:09] could it possibly be a router problem? something that is preventing ubuntu from connecting? cause this laptop will connect to it just fine when its booted in windows [23:09] sfears, I thought you had to shut down x to do that for nvidia [23:09] my .conyrc gets stuck over all windows. here is my .conkyrc if anyone knows what to do. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59199/ [23:09] How can I see the problems ran into when ubuntu server starts?

I'm using a sony vaio [23:23] robobob: what do you mean "you can mount /dev/hdd" ?

[23:23] robobob: if you have no problem with other cds then the cd is screwed up [23:24] cpk1, only thing that has changed as far as i know is the router...i reset it, took the security off of it and changed the essid...since then it won't connect on linux anymore...works fine on windows though [23:24] giorgos, sorry, then I have no clue [23:24] ok [23:24] A86, Personally I dual boot with windows as it runs all the games just fine. [23:24] giorgos, as mentioned it has been my problem eevery now and then [23:24] Yesterday my wireless stopped working with Knetworkmanasger and gnome's network manager. 'Iwlist scanning' shows available wireless networks to choose from but the gui's in KDE and gnome do not. How do i remedy this. [23:24] WhoaItsPhil-> you can not associate at all? [23:24] must i install something lusepuster ?like alsa drivers or something? [23:24] NattyTux: mkdir a A b B c C ; ls (and they show up in the right order) [23:24] but its new [23:24] cd that is [23:24] WhoaItsPhil: one thing that you might as well change is to take the spaces out of the essid since its easy and you never know [23:24] prince_jammys : well , I tried ls with sort ,but there is a problem [23:24] nope, it won't connect to it at all now...just skips over it...only one i can get on is this weak signal downstairs on a linksys router [23:24] robobob: then I can't help you [23:25] does anyone know where the menu bar applet/.glade file is? [23:25] giorgos, Sorry, that was my only idea... [23:25] i installed XbindKeys (so i could set ctrl+M to open firefox) and it works only if i open xbindkeys config and save and exit everytime after a restart,a nyone know why? [23:25] WhoaItsPhil-> are there other clients using same AP? can they connect? [23:25] cpk1, i will give that a shot...seems kinda silly if ubuntu can't handle some spaces in an essid?

[23:33] sander_m: yes [23:33] NattyTux: i don't know, and that feature probably exists (there are extra globbing options too). as you said: ls | grep -i xorg is a dirty way of doing it [23:33] Is there a way i can reset KNetworkManager, it no longer shows available wireless networks but iwlist scan still does so i know it still works [23:33] danand: nope and its making me angry [23:34] evolution doesnt support exchange 2007. are there any mail clients which do?

[23:48] Pelo, it's limited to 4gb of *address space* [23:48] rhs: Ah, no problem then. Kernel patches/bugfixes are the one's that show up with automatic updates. IIRC you have to do major kernel upgrades manually. [23:48] sfears, yes i tried when you first asked me. I'll play around with it some more then i'll just have to format i guess....i don;t know [23:48] emet, ic [23:48] tobias, it should, give the liveCD a try and do a memory check [23:49] can anyone recommend a dock program for Ubuntu similar to RocketDock?

You probably won't find anything of that sort here. [23:49] hi is the mplayer xine etc package compiled againt lame libdvdcss etc [23:49] if you take out the hardcoded information your available networks will show up again KiD_ChAoS [23:49] where is the grub?

[23:49] s/atoconfig/aticonfig/g [23:49] i know you need to have those IPs in there.. but if you format & hardcode them again it will just do the same thing [23:50] feed a crip cu [23:50] heya folks, anyone know the proper way to use find to locate dirs the a [ in the name?

[23:51] if you have hard coded stuff in your wireless properties then that's why there's no available networks.. if it's hardcoded then that's the only one it will use.. hence the hardcoding [23:51] Can someone point me to how to get a multifunction Dell 1125 printer working in ubuntu? Most importantly the scanner? xsane doesn't detect it. [23:51] anyone know if it's possible to split vertically with screen? [23:51] hehe [23:52] Yashy, consider checking in this list and in the forum https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport www.ubuntuforums.org [23:52] tobias, you might want to read this === Flummoxed` is now known as Snoman^ [23:52] hybrid-kernel, i dont think it is. the split-screen feature of screen is so Undocumented at times - it MIGHT be possible - but i doubt it. [23:52] !64 | tobias [23:52] tobias: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. [23:52] install winamp ? [23:52] :( [23:52] emet: thanks [23:52] sfears, is there a way i can clear that stuff out?, i tried removing the module with modprobe -r ndisrwapper and then putting it back it but nothing changes [23:52] is there a replacement for less which works with colorized output? [23:52] hybrid-kernel, you man want to check out 'twin' if that is a MUST have feature. [23:53] tobias, there might be a way to switch the repositories around to upgrade all your packages, but it can be risky I'd assume since it probably not a very common thing to do [23:53] sander_m: if your user will use mplayer, put zoom=yes and vo=x11 in .mplayer/config [23:53] not must have, just sort of pointless of splitting horizontally on a wide monitor [23:53] thnx, i'll try it out [23:53] ':( [23:53] emet: hm, and inability to run 32bit packages looks bat [23:53] bad [23:53] tobias, apt updates occur in real time, and it would be kinda screwy to have a hybrid of 64-bit and 32-bit packages on a system, especially since the 32-bit kernel can't run 64-bit apps [23:54] Flare183, why the sad face ? [23:54] ndiswrapper is kind of the driver that allows all that information to be sent to the card.. doesn't have anything to do with the settings.. as far as clearing them out you just need to set everything to automatic [23:54] hybrid-kernel, twin is nifty. but its a little weird in ways. with some fonts on the console - it dont look too good. :( [23:54] Pelo: nothing to really do [23:54] Pelo: and I can get depressed when I don't have nothing to do for along time [23:54] tobias, 64-bit ubuntu got very good, the only problems you may have is Flash (no 64-bit version), but there are workarounds [23:55] sfears, ok will do, i'll be back in a flash because i might have to reboot [23:55] k [23:55] Hi does anybody know a free version of turboprint? but one were i dont have the dammed banner in my picture [23:55] Pelo: yeap [23:55] cool [23:55] Flare183, play around with conky , that cheared me up [23:55] KiD_ChAoS, [23:55] does anyone run ubuntu on an ibm thinkpad? [23:55] tobias, also 64-bit mode eats more memory then 32-bit mode, but the use of 1GB outways that [23:55] derdui_, the normal cups drivers are the free ones. :) i think thas how they do it at least. [23:55] k [23:55] lukus: i do [23:55] i see there's no automatic setting [23:55] lukus, it,s been done, just ask about your issues [23:55] just delete any of the IPs & subnet masks.. make sure you have them written down in case you need to put them back in [23:56] rhs: Each on a separate line I presume? [23:56] hello [23:56] tobias: thinking about buying one with nvidia graphics - but i want to run ubuntu... just wondering if it would work [23:56] !hi | Administ1ador [23:56] Administ1ador: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:56] well Dr_Willis iam working two days to run my printer with original drivers the japanese one, and a ppd-script.... it diesent work, but with turboprint, it does [23:56] sander_m: yes [23:57] rhs: done [23:57] lukus: i have ATI graphics and cannot use accelerated drivers. nvidia might be better [23:57] rhs: I just rebooted after the aticonfig stuff and I still have a gui. So far so good :-) [23:57] hey guys, truecrpt isn't showing up in my package manager and the truecrypt.org site is down, it seems. any reasons why? [23:57] sorry to beat a dead horse, anyone hear of using desktop effects with dual graphics cards and dual monitors? [23:57] derdui_, i think how it works is the cups guys make/sell turboprint drivers.. then after a while (a few months/hear) the drivers seem to get into the free cups system. [23:57] lukus, nvidia does not provide an open source driver, there is a restricted driver for nvidia cards and binairy drivers, ubuntu might not work right out of the box [23:57] when it is used footballer and football player? or are they same thing? [23:58] tardy, Yes but there is an overall limit to the combined size/res of the displays [23:58] it is a canon ip2200 Dr_Willis and i dont know what i should do now [23:58] pelo: not worried about having to play with settings, as long as it's possible... need a card which functions with gl shader... thought nvidia might be best bet [23:58] Administ1ador, this is a support channel for a linux distribution called ubuntu , not a general chat channel [23:59] Jack_Sparrow: hey man. do you know if when I do a "apt-get install mysql-server" if it'll maintain all of the data that is in the databases, users, etc? [23:59] Jeeves2, No idea.. [23:59] Pelo: and a irc from offtopic? o general irc? [23:59] tobias: which ati card are you using ... is it a firegl? [23:59] derdui_, if it works with turboprint, you could buy turboprint. Canon is very annoying with their linux support. [23:59] I'm pretty much done with my homework so I can now help people [23:59] Jack_Sparrow, thank you Jack, I'm assuming dual 1680x1050 will be an issue then [23:59] Vim vs Emacs Screenshot: http://www.freeimagehost.eu/image/a3f9e12823305 [23:59] tardy, yep [23:59] Administ1ador, try #ubuntu-offtopic, but generaly freenode is more about software and such [23:59] lukus: Radeon Mobility X1400
