[00:00] mc-george: make a back up before you run it [00:00] anyone else willing to try to help with "Falling back to standard locale" ? [00:00] xb3rt: it must have left behind that setting. Check where it's made with 'cd /etc ; grep -r http_proxy *' [00:00] soundray: it says, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 203 2008-02-27 21:32 /etc/modules [00:00] dpkg-reconfigure has a nasty habit of loosing all of your resolutions [00:00] thanks pelo [00:00] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] [00:00] JaxJagsfan: so this file exists and has 203 bytes. Do a 'cat /etc/modules' to see what's in there now [00:00] Integration: Yup. 20GB for install sounds about right, then there is the backups or whatever that Vista makes. [00:01] Nith, the problem is that he can'T use is current xorg. loosing his rez is trivial [00:01] Nith-> then its a good idea to save a copy of your xorg.conf before issuing such command [00:01] how do i get my soundcard to work? [00:01] JaxJagsfan: I don't need to know, so don't paste or pastebin please [00:01] oh my god lol [00:01] soundray: a screenful of stuff showed up with a lot of Permission denied statements [00:01] !sound > paulsherman check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [00:01] any experts in chroot environments about? maybe they can help with this locales thing [00:01] ok thanks [00:01] * Pelo goes to make some food, bbl [00:02] how hard is it to configure a nvidia dual monitor card to work with ubuntu? [00:02] xb3rt: slight modification: 'cd /etc ; grep -r http_proxy * 2>/dev/null' [00:02] i need you lsmod [00:02] h0ax: pretty easy /msg ubotu dualhead [00:02] iRRVi: lsmod pastebin please [00:02] * Nith hates graphics issues [00:02] ArthurArchnix, do you think it's worth it to keep vista? or should i just put xp in half of the drive and half for ubuntu [00:02] soundray: sorry my chatzilla screwed up [00:02] esdfcvafwzSFVCAWSZFV !!!!!!!!!!1 [00:03] mrpockets: I know what you mean [00:03] thank you [00:03] JaxJagsfan: forget about this file for the moment. When you run 'lsmod | grep emu10k1', does it give you any output? [00:03] soundray: should that of shown its location [00:03] soundray, hang on [00:03] xb3rt: yes [00:03] Can someone help me out, I can't seem to boot into Ubuntu at all on my dual HD/Dual boot. It was working fine yesterday, earlier I booted back to Ubuntu and now about half way through the "bar" on start up my monitor loses signal and I get nothing. [00:03] soundray: is this locales thing going to screw up my normal apps usage [00:03] thanks pike_ [00:03] Integration: Why does it matter what I think? Do you need Vista? Do you like it? [00:03] l33: http://rafb.net/p/dLn26w59.html [00:04] iRRVi: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-219336.html [00:04] starshine: I don't think so. I've had this problem with perl scripts for a while, but it never affected functionality in any way I could notice [00:04] l33: i'll check it out [00:04] iRRVi: check your bio [00:04] iRRVi: check your bios [00:04] soundray: yes it gave me a long answer. Too long to paste here [00:04] PurpZeY: after you restart and you loose the signal, does CTRL+ALT+F1 still work? [00:04] ArthurArchnix, well I was saving it because I don't have an install disk for it and it came preloaded. I was thinking to keep it also for whatever new technology comes out for Vista only. [00:04] soundray: it's just, I'm gonna have somewhat less talented linuxers hanging out in that chroot env, and I don't want them freaking out at me :/ [00:05] JaxJagsfan: does it look more like data or more like error messages? [00:05] Nith: I don't think so. I tried it. I'll try it again in a sec.....Well, this is curious. I can boot into the old kernel...but I upgraded the new one a few weeks ago. [00:05] soundray: lemmie check again [00:05] Integration: Sounds good. You should use the make recovery disk option that they have. [00:05] Hey, I want to use xrandr to set up a dual head configuration [00:05] but xrandr only shows one output [00:06] which I think is wrong, since I can clone the desktop [00:06] l33: been there done that [00:06] PurpZeY: sorry, thats beyond me -.- [00:06] soundray: I don't really see any errors there [00:06] :-( [00:06] starshine: have you entered the error message 'as is' into google? [00:06] iRRVi: sorry [00:06] Nith: Well, I am trying the new kernel w/ ctl + alt + f1...see if that gets me anywhere. . . [00:06] JaxJagsfan: okay, that means that the driver for your soundcard is loaded. No need to manipulate /etc/modules [00:06] soundray: yes. I got hits on a few forums. several answers were offered. some worked for their users (breezy mostly) but none worked for me. [00:07] ArthurArchnix, I'm going to look for a way to stop the backups that vista makes from eating my whole hd [00:07] soundray: sounds are still not working though [00:07] could anybody help me please? in cups i see this:"Unable to open USB port device file: No such file or directory" what can i do? [00:07] starshine: It really helps.. how to find and delete files with "nagio" automatically? [00:07] hello [00:07] starshine: *nagios [00:08] Nith: Ok....Wow, for no particular reason at all it seems to be working now....Maybe my gfx card is going....I tried it a ton of times too, now suddenly it works....too bizarre. [00:08] JaxJagsfan: do you have a loudspeaker symbol in the top panel? [00:08] i can't figure out why autologing in with kdm is not working for me. in installed a base ubuntu system with kdm and it doesn't auto login even after i edited /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and uncommenting AutoLoginEnable=true AutoLoginUser=ubuntu [00:08] soundray: yes I do [00:08] PurpZeY: the magic of tech support [00:08] firefox beta 4 is out,hohoho [00:08] * PurpZeY giggles. [00:08] how to get under vmware a already exiting image running? I cannot startup my nic [00:08] JaxJagsfan: double-click that to open the mixer control panel [00:08] Nith: It's the ever present "tink" in your car that never happens when you get to the mechanic. . . [00:09] exactly [00:09] starshine: is there anything wrong in /etc/environment ? [00:09] soundray: It's open. Now what? [00:09] soundray: did you get my querey [00:09] but so much the better [00:09] hope the bug stays down [00:09] kris_ph: do the search I offered, add -type f into the line so it only finds *files* [00:09] soundray: other than that I'm chroot'ing into the area? [00:10] JaxJagsfan: see if Master and PCM are unmuted and turned up [00:10] xb3rt: no, sorry, must have missed it [00:10] HEY GUYS im new 2 linux an im trying 2 compile my wifi drive as it tells me in the read me file it instructs me of a command which is $ make , so i past it into terminal and it say bash $: command not found, any ideas [00:10] soundray: the current one has a PATH line at the top and the rest is a comment block [00:10] starshine: forgot, sorry. [00:10] soundray: You mean turned up all the way? [00:11] soundray: but I'm not sure that it can properly honour it when I 'log in' this way :/ [00:11] AR1FA4_Uk, whick make [00:11] JaxJagsfan: why not, unless you wake someone up if it suddenly works... [00:11] soundray: i just sent another one [00:11] AR1FA4_Uk: make is available in the repos. Try going system --> Administration --> Synaptic then look for "make" there [00:11] soundray: though there is a previous copy backed up from legend2440 giving me localeconf to try [00:11] soundray: I have both all the way up and unmuted. [00:12] AR1FA4_Uk: then install it if its not installed, if it is then you've a diff problem :) [00:12] xb3rt: 'gksudo gedit /etc/environment' and remove the http_proxy line [00:12] anyone here, who cann tell me how to get my nic running? [00:12] AR1FA4_UK: do not include $ just type make [00:12] ok ill try that [00:12] starshine: mine has LANG="en_GB.UTF-8", so if that's missing in yours, it could be part of the problem [00:13] I got this error: /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail: line 875: /usr/sbin/sendmail-msp: No such file or deirectory.. what does it mean? [00:13] JaxJagsfan: now have a look at System-Preferences-Sound and try some of the test buttons [00:13] soundray: after doing that I got a similar error [00:13] lsmobrian: good catch [00:13] xb3rt: you need to activate the change. Easiest thing is to reboot [00:14] soundray: ok [00:14] help: having a package manage problem, need more space, where can I get some (via delete) [00:14] \o/ [00:14] soundray: I got it. wanna hear what fixed it? [00:14] threeseas, a good place to look is in /boot, if u have more than one kernel, you can go into synaptic and delete old/unused kernels [00:15] starshine: please [00:15] hi [00:15] I have a old vmware-instance, and my nic will not come up. How can I get the nic running? [00:15] threeseas: /var/cache/apt/archives/ usually has plenty you can empty out too [00:15] soundray: someone had previously suggested I run locale-gen. it wasn't sufficient to run that with no commandline. I've told it to generate two obvious named locales and now there's no more complaints. [00:16] ok thank u terminal is doing summthing now [00:16] soundray: in my case en_US and en_US.UTF-8 and of course other people's mileage - or kilometreage - will vary [00:16] starshine: wow, sometimes you just have to intervene at a low level... [00:17] soundray: I clicked on sound capture: ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture and it gave me this error message, Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' [00:17] starshine: knottage ;) [00:17] soundray: I think that is the problem there. [00:17] soundray: yeah so basically, I needed *several* of the offered answers. together. [00:17] sorry my computer crashed [00:17] i have another command which says # make install, should i ignor the # [00:17] or at least it was totally unresponsive so that I couldn't do anything [00:17] yep [00:18] ok [00:18] JaxJagsfan: what about the playback options? [00:18] soundray: hang on lemmie try them [00:19] hi all. can anybody help me to fix one problem? I have some runnable .sh in my home directory. I have created /usr/bin/myprogram where is have types the path to this .sh file and made it +x. all is ok, when I type program name it runs. but it keeps the console. I can not close console before to close this program. if I will close the terminal, the program is closed also. as a result I can not run this with alt+f2, and I can not make desktop shortcut [00:19] thx 4 your help, lsmobrian [00:19] hey alll.... I am running a ubuntu server install, 6.06.* and have ssh installed on it. I access it from windows, using putty, and everything works fine, however when I run "apt-get update" it throws an error of "Incorrect MAC received on Packet" during the section of updates from "Get:7 http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/main packages" amy ideas? [00:19] Hey, what can I do to make xrandr acknowledge my second screen?? [00:20] soundray: and the tircky ouchy thing is, even setting it to C, it wasn't gonna be happy while I had no locales generated at all. results of debootstrap based install, I think. [00:20] soundray: it pops up a testing window that has a meter that goes back and forth and it says to click Ok to finish but still no sounds [00:20] starshine: makes sense [00:20] andguent: that directory is already empty. [00:20] arrick: can that server access the internet ok? Is it correct to assume you are running headless (no monitor)? [00:21] JaxJagsfan: is your SB Live card selected in the menus at the bottom? [00:21] Is my issue a big problem? How can I setup my nic under ubuntu lts? [00:21] Question for audio. I have audio, but the volume control is glitchy. when you click on it once it shows Bass, not the master volume. Is theis typical and if not any idea on how to fix it? [00:21] threeseas: another option to try is 'cd /' then 'du -sh *' [00:21] pisecx: call your program with 'programname &' [00:21] it can access the internet, yes, and also it is indeed running headless (at the moment, kvm is at the house andguent) im at school [00:21] soundray: let me try [00:22] pisecx: if that's not enough, 'nohup programname &' [00:22] arrick: weird MAC address messages sometimes means an IP address conflict, not sure if this is your problem though [00:22] guys,rise up,upgrade your firefox to beta 4,damn good it is! [00:22] I disagree. [00:22] why [00:23] soundray: Yes it is. It shows SBLive! Value [CT4831] (Alsa mixer) [00:23] threeseas: that command will tell you what directories are taking up how much, cd into the biggest one and repeat the du [00:23] soundray: thanks a lot! [00:23] Because I prefer Opera :P [00:23] Arrick: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#faq-incorrect-mac [00:23] soundray: it works now [00:23] Achoth, hmm,one 's meat is another's poison [00:23] I should be able to upgrade pidgin to the newest version with sudo apt-get upgrade pidgin, right?: [00:24] iceworld: I'm using Firefox 3 Beta 4. :) [00:24] ok [00:24] icesword: One mans disgust is another mans fetish. [00:24] Icesworld: Not on this Linux PC though but on my WindowsXP machine, yes. [00:25] ok i need some serious help [00:25] i edited my xorg.conf, and it runs fine, but now the resolution and display program doesnt work [00:25] doesnt launch even [00:25] Hi! I want to setup Dual Head support on my laptop with an Intel chip [00:25] mrpockets: that is a safe command to run when upgrading pidgin [00:25] soundray: Let me try changing speakers and see if it's the current speakers not working right. [00:25] the only guide I found for that does not work as the assumption is for xrandr to find the second screen [00:26] it will get the newest version available from the repositories (possibly not the NEWest....) [00:26] elTigre: join the club, been on this for hours [00:26] soundray: its ok now with running in console and then close console, but it still not working with alt+f2, is it possible to resolve it? [00:26] I had it working once [00:26] JaxJagsfan: okay. I'm logging off soon. Sorry I haven't been much of a help. [00:26] with an x config [00:26] elTigrea: me too for a moment... but it looked all efed up [00:26] pisecx, dont use the 'close button' on the termional window. spawn stuff to the background with & and use the exit command in the terminal. [00:27] anyone knows why my cpu has 95% activity? http://img530.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotsm4.png => what are mount.fs and gam_server and why does Thunar need so much resources? [00:27] Dr_willis: hm.. ok [00:27] pisecx: add the & at the end of the calling command inside your script [00:27] pisecx, :) but i just heard the last bit of your problem. I just got here.. but thats a common 'thing' that people dont realize :) the close button tells all spawmned things to close also. === CarNagE` is now known as Carnage\ [00:28] soundray: [00:28] #! /bin/sh [00:28] /home/z/idea-7590/bin/idea.sh > null [00:28] pisecx: so make it [00:28] /home/z/idea-7590/bin/idea.sh > null & [00:28] /home/z/idea-7590/bin/idea.sh > null & [00:28] im trying to change my resolution but nothing is happening [00:28] oh, ok =) [00:28] Gotta love bash job controll. [00:28] & is our friend. [00:29] if thats a one line script = you could make it an alias. also. [00:29] pisecx: btw, to conform to standards, you should put this in /usr/local/bin rather than /usr/bin [00:29] alt+f2 still don't work ) [00:29] says in 20 seconds its going to revert back if i dont keep settings.. so i say keep but nothing happens [00:29] are you already at the maximum resolution brandonc503 [00:29] do dual head displays need to be the same resolution? [00:29] soundray: ok, I will [00:29] Wavesonics, no they do not. [00:29] no [00:29] i need quad displays [00:29] per machine [00:29] then ill be good on desktop space [00:29] Wavesonics, I hook up tv and high res lcd;s all the time. :) or 2 different res lcd's [00:29] Dr_willis: is there any problem with doing dual head with compiz? [00:30] yes [00:30] Wavesonics, ive done it with my nvidia cards just fine. [00:30] um [00:30] ATI? [00:30] its a pita though [00:30] especially with different resolutions [00:30] You dont want my oponoion of ATI cards. [00:30] i dunno about ati [00:30] cept that they suck [00:30] i had it working using xrandr for a moment, but it looked all efed up [00:30] trust me... i know. [00:30] I wouldent even want to use compiz with ati. [00:30] I dont really use comiz with nvidia either. :) [00:30] it's an old Radeon 9800 Pro, about 5 years old now [00:31] well Compiz with 1 head is running jsut fine so far [00:31] Wavesonics, i got one of those. :) proberly one of the better cards for ati these days.. which is sad. :) [00:31] its in the closet.. but its a backup card.. just in case. heh. [00:31] xb3rt: all right?

[00:33] larry, depends on what you are 'downloading' [00:33] Dr_willis: is there a problem with having the frame buffer over 2048x2048? Mine needs to be 3084x1200 [00:33] soundray: it worked, but now my synaptic says theirs a broken package on my system [00:33] everything i'm downloading [00:33] Wavesonics: I know. What really freaked me out was how in Mac OS X it Just Works -- no config at all [00:33] Wavesonics, Framebuffer for the console? getting the console dual headed.. is a much different task then getting X on a dual head.. I normally disable the framebuffer. [00:34] no no [00:34] the VIrtual Directive [00:34] xb3rt: what package is that? [00:34] Virtual [00:34] brandonc503: my wife had that problem yesterday.... my fix was to edit xorg.conf, but there should be a better way, can you try Ctrl-Alt-Numpad+ or Ctrl-Alt-Numpad- (minus) [00:34] ty [00:34] I have ubuntu / vista dual boot.

(Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubotu Guidelines» [00:36] * Pelo wants the !vista message to read , Vista is the best incentive to learn linux [00:36] adrock358: do you know the card? [00:36] Wavesonics, twinview is an extension to the xinerama support of X. ati has a similer thing. [00:36] Dr_willis: Do you know what it is called? I'll bet it is part of the restricted driver which was giving me problems, so now Im using the open source one [00:37] robobob: For specifying bandwidth limits to an app, use trickle. For re-prioritizing use renice [00:37] ubot3, no, Vista is the best incentive to learn Linux, says Pelo [00:37] hahahahaha ohh goood.... i jsut some how disabled my primary display... awesome. [00:37] soundray, are you mocking me ? [00:37] I was using sbackup and didn't realize that it created temporary files. (I should have known.) I ran out of HD space and had to reboot. When I reboot, I didn't gain any HD space. Where are the temp files for sbackup located? [00:38] Pelo: yes.

[00:45] hi i am using ubuntu 7.10 i`m trying to install gantt project but the original version it is on .rpm however i converted to .deb but when i intalled the program does not run [00:45] How do I ensure I have support for Dual Core on Gusty? [00:45] sfears, ill look into it [00:46] Pelo: a symbolic link is a file that's just a "the file's not actually here, go to " [00:46] brandonc503, are you using restricted video drivers and are they enabled in system/administration/restricted drivers [00:46] wow, wierd [00:46] Chousuke, I mean I don't know what kore is used for , not sure what an 896 meg one means, my system doesn't crash , [00:46] brandonc503: my wife had that problem yesterday.... my fix was to edit xorg.conf, but there should be a better way, can you try Ctrl-Alt-Numpad+ or Ctrl-Alt-Numpad- (minus) [00:46] the symlink says 11 bytes, the actual file says 768M [00:46] sfears yes and yes [00:47] brandonc503, nvidia? [00:47] someone know about grantt project [00:47] Pelo: I think it just means memory. [00:47] How do I get a file to run on startup? [00:47] sfears yeap [00:47] its binary -.- [00:47] radar: system startup, or gnome login? [00:47] Pelo: it shouldn't take space as it's un /proc [00:47] i think so [00:47] brandonc503, alt+f2 nvidia-settings [00:47] /proc is a special place full of unreal files :) [00:47] /proc/kcore is like an "alias" for the memory in your computer. Its [00:47] size is the same as the amount of RAM you have, and if you read it as [00:47] a file, the kernel does memory reads. [00:48] andguent: since the system doesn't have gnome, I'd say system startup. [00:48] sorry, that came out more lines than I thought it would [00:48] Chousuke, might be related to a nautilus crash I had earlier when I xkille conky [00:48] thats according to http://www.unixguide.net/linux/faq/04.16.shtml [00:48] Pelo: nah [00:48] andguent: there's no screen/keyboard/mouse for this computer, so I want some kind of notification that it's finished booting.

I'm building a new computer and it seems strange to have the OS designed to run on the i386. [00:48] Pelo: despite looking big :90 [00:48] :)* [00:49] Chousuke, I won't worry about it then, I rarely worry with ubuntu [00:49] radar: try /etc/rc.local [00:49] anyway, time for me to sleep.

[00:51] is there a way to make the icons appearing in the menus in the gnome-panel smaller? [00:51] kirby, just a feeling [00:51] so the cntr alt + - changes resolution but none of those fit screen .. making them too big to fit on screen.. and the alt f2 thing says cannot find file [00:52] pelo, floodbots and join throttling exist for a reason, they got it covered [00:52] radar: oh dear, mine just usually go be-doop or something :) [00:52] brandonc503, your saying nvidia-settings isn't found?

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. [00:56] beener, firestarter is just a gui frontend, what it does won'T be removed if you remvoe the app, [00:56] <~~~ sits on the couch all day [00:56] beener: you need to "flush" the iptables rules [00:56] hold on ill show you what i ran [00:56] is ubot3 stalking me?

[01:08] NETWizz, the generic kernel is installed by default [01:08] apt-cache search 2.6.22-14-386-generica [01:08] nixnoobie, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit give us a link [01:08] apt-cache search 2.6.22-14-386-generic [01:08] The kernel I have is apparently not generic [01:08] AlphaGod:my monitor is maxxed@ 1920x1200 thats actually better than hd 1080p [01:08] beener, I dont have time..

[01:18] andguent: no man entry for /etc/iftab or iftab [01:18] just install the processor first then install the generic kernel [01:18] thanks [01:18] Waffles385: I think it's because I like more than one window and felt restricted by tilda [01:18] no problem, NETWizz [01:18] how can i make sure OpenGL and my NVIDIA driver is enabled? i will need the commands since im on enlightenment and not gnome irhgt now [01:18] beener, but now you know what you are doing so it will take less time, also , you can put your /home folder on a seperate partiton and use it there, ( select manaual partitionning) , that will save all your data and app settings [01:19] Alright, I just got done installing it and saw you guys talking about it... just curious [01:19] Is there a way to specify which desktop I would like a program to appear in when I execute it from the terminal? [01:19] nith what is that? [01:19] boohoo: yup, so on your other box "scp .vimrc username@ipOfOtherMachine:~/" and it'll be done [01:19] alphagod: or echo "eth0 mac 00:00:00:00:00:00 arp 1" > /etc/iftab (update your appropriate mac and interface of course) [01:19] zth, check in your xorg.conf file, gl should be listed in the module section, and nvidia or nv as a device [01:19] Kumool: tilda's a package that lets you pull down a console much like in games( e.g. quake). [01:19] andguent: do you think that's the best way to do it or is that really just a brute force approach? [01:20] okay, now I'm confused... I can do an 'apt-build info avr-libc', but when I do an 'apt-build install avr-libc' it complains "Missing source package name for source_by_source(). [01:20] " [01:20] zth, run glx-gears and look atht fps count, anything <1000 means that your card isnt working [01:20] alphagod: i have a man /etc/iftab, but i'm on gutsy for my server, not sure if dapper doesn't have it or what -- not sure if you would consider it brute force, but I have never needed another way [01:20] Nith so i just press ESC and itl come up on half the screen?? [01:20] Pelo: thats what ive done from the begging set the /boot on its own partition also [01:20] Kumool: its usually bound to the tilda key but effectively [01:20] Nith but wouldnt that be bad i mean what if i wanted to close it? [01:20] andguent: this is a new install of 7.10 server so I should be able to follow what you're doing [01:20] * Nith shrugs [01:20] I also get - Unable to find source information for avr-libc at /usr/bin/apt-build line 482 [01:21] I don't use it, I don't really remember [01:21] beener, not sure waht the purpose of that would but but you seen to understand the technique [01:21] k [01:21] * Pelo 's typing is realy going to hell , it's getting late [01:21] zth, nevermind, i used glx-gears as a test when I was on PCLOS [01:21] In ubuntu/linux can i make a file that when opened, opens the terminal and runs the commands (like a .bat in windows)? [01:21] andguent: if I populate iftab appropriately and reboot that will work then? [01:21] * Nith hands Pelo some coffee [01:22] * Nith has become a recent abuser of the sacred brown liquid [01:22] bilenium, yes you can, its called a shell script, google it for more info [01:22] is there any app to test video preformance.. im not sure what you test that by .. maybe frame rate?? [01:22] billenium: the equivalent of batch programming in Linux is shell scripting [01:22] * Pelo runs away screaming from Nith , are you trying to give me insomnia ??? [01:22] .sh? [01:22] I'm getting libdvdread: Invalid IFO for title 1 (VTS_01_0.IFO). if I try to play a DVD. [01:22] billenium: exactly [01:22] bilenium, yes [01:22] alphagod: blah, ok, so i was shelled onto a gutsy workstation and lost track of which box i was on, gutsy desktop has man iftab, i agree that gutsy server does not -- i can't imagine there would be any harm in it [01:22] thanks cornfused [01:22] haha [01:23] elp [01:23] and nixnoobie [01:23] brandonc503, maybe run one of your screensaver, if its choppy your card isnt working [01:23] andguent: ok....so it's a lot like fstab...if it's there then the system will read it and use it? [01:23] hmm, this seems to be all messed up, I hate to change a couple lines, filetype plugin or something === sCOTTo_ is now known as sCOTTo [01:23] even though Ubuntu's vim is newer than the one on the Fedora box [01:24] how can i rotate a screen, in a 3 screen setup [01:24] i wana know what AAS setting will work best.. what vid card in which comp.. i got 4 comps im working with and wana make them as equal as possible [01:25] alphagod: i've never seen iftab not work, but i havin't added it much when it wasn't there, i would say try it, worst that happens is you waited a few minutes for a useless reboot right? :) [01:25] Apple_Cat: are you using compiz? [01:25] Pelo: if i work backwards it should be fine wheni unistall it right? [01:25] beener, work backwards ? [01:25] andguent: fair enough....I'll try anything once ;) [01:26] hi people can anyone teach me how to enable 2 display for ubuntu? i mean having 1 big display by connecting 2 monitor? [01:26] Pelo: install it and do everything exactly the same then undo it when i get a conection, [01:27] Orynet: what video card? [01:27] beener, when you get the connection I would jsut stop there, [01:27] ati [01:27] ninoobie [01:27] i am not sure about the model [01:27] i tried this, [01:27] Pelo: i realy dont want to have firestarter on my computer it cause nothing but trouble [01:28] but when im at command line, i dont know some commands to back to graphic mode [01:28] Does Sonata support gnome's multimedia keys? [01:28] cornfused: yes using compiz, nvidia card with restricted drivers [01:28] catalus3d, then I'm out of ideas, to get back into graphic mode type in init 5 [01:28] I can [01:28] or startx [01:28] hello [01:29] I can't seen minized applications in my taskbar, anyone seen this problem before? [01:29] beener, then just don'T start it , like we said before, firestarter is just a frontend, it doesn't actualy do anyting on it's own, when yuo turn it on it just sits there and monitors , untill you tell it to do something then all it does is sends modifications to iptables [01:29] cornfusted: ATI graphic card. [01:29] however, id probably just restart the machine [01:29] cornfused: ATI graphic card. [01:29] xgl not present [01:29] Pelo so if i dont start it everything should be fine [01:29] beener, in other words, firestarter is just a graphical interface for someting else [01:29] Orynet: try System -> administration -> Screens and Graphics [01:29] i typed compiz [01:29] beener, yes [01:30] Nautilus is using almost all my cpus (both of them). How do I find out what its doing? [01:30] I'm trying to install a EUB-362 (atheros chipset). I've seen recommendations to use ndiswrapper, but some say atheros is supported by madwifi. Does anyone know which way I should go/differences between the two? [01:30] thats wired? [01:30] well all, I am out of here, been fun, later [01:30] nvidia driver is enable [01:30] the restricted driver [01:30] xandr seems to be the way, how can i access it under gnome ? [01:30] mixed: if you can't see minimized applications in your taskbar you're screwed! switch back to windows or use SuSE! [01:30] Pelo: if i set my eth0 to its orignial setting and not a static ip then my eth1 cant connect [01:30] beener, you can try and use firestarter to remove any settings you may have added that should get it going again [01:30] andguent: heh....the file is created....apparently I can use ifrename to call iftab and rename the interfaces.....either this will work or the server will be off the network [01:31] andguent: wish me luck [01:31] when i tries visual effects doesnt enable [01:31] cataldus, sorry man, I got no ideas for you, thats why I stick with my wimpy but compatable intel graphics card [01:31] Apple_Cat: are you talking about rotating the screens through different monitors [01:31] beener, I donT' know about that bit , but that is not iptabls related as far as I know, that is part of the network manager , menu > system > admin > network [01:31] yes changing one screen out of three from landscape to portrait [01:31] but thats odd never did that before [01:32] andguent: oh well...apparently ifrename isn't installed in 7.1 server either [01:32] after using firestarter is when i started useing a static ip [01:32] cornfused: my secondary display option is disabled... even tough i have the setting's of panel made. === root____1 is now known as warriorforgod [01:32] beener, did you setup a static ip for your computer in your router ? [01:33] Pelo: no its always been dhcp [01:33] Orynet: you can do it the manual way, but it takes a lot of knowledge about your monitors and you have to manually edit the xorg.conf file === dijital1_away is now known as dijital1 [01:33] When I installed ubuntu it installed grub to /dev/hdb1 however I have to have /dev/hdb1 set to boot first so grub will run. How can I change this? [01:33] warriorforgod: you can use fdisk [01:33] beener, then it shodl also be dhcp in the network manager, not sure what is going on , not realy my field of expertise, i can set a static ip up but I don'T knwo how to trouble shoot one [01:33] 2 quick questions- how do you add a service to startup (beagle) and where do you edit screens? [01:34] beener, maybe the ppl in #netowrking might know [01:34] cornfused: ok thanks. I think i shouldn't try any further then. [01:34] warriorforgod: after you've booted into ubuntu, sudo grub-install /dev/hda [01:34] .. there al busy [01:34] one said to comeback tommarow [01:34] sacamano: add beagle to your session programs [01:34] so ill check back ther tomarrow [01:34] * Pelo hopes beener doesn't think he's tring to get rid of him with all these recommendations [01:34] plz someone can help me? [01:34] nickrud: that only works if warriorforgod wants to change the MBR [01:34] is it possible to make the terminal window black (bg) and green (fg) [01:34] oh wait.. hdb1 won't work anyway [01:34] nevermind [01:34] Pelo: youve been the most help all the other just got tired and left [01:34] like the matrix kinda thing :D [01:34] cataldus3d, you need to ask a question [01:34] boohoo: yes [01:35] juank_prada, thanks. how about edit scerens? [01:35] i only want one [01:35] desktop [01:35] boohoo: right-click on a terminal and click "Edit Current Profile" [01:35] beener, I'm goint to bed in 15 minutes, donT' take it personnaly :-) [01:35] What can I use to record my desktop? [01:35] alphagod: any luck? I dropped connection for a sec there... [01:35] lee, sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop [01:36] boohoo: there is already a pre-defined greeon on black :) [01:36] nickrud: Ok, my system crashed and I am booted into a gentoo livecd right now. How can I change it so that it will boot from /dev/hdb1. Both /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hda1 have the bootable flag toggled in fdisk [01:36] lee: istanbul, [01:36] Uh oh :< [01:36] SuperQ: hmmm, I don't see it [01:36] sacamano: what do you want to edit? [01:36] andguent: nope....apparently ifrename isn't in 7.1 server so I can't call iftab to use it [01:36] is anyone here using the official ubuntu server VM images for a web production server [01:36] boohoo: what do you see? [01:36] nickrud, instanbul ? is that new ? [01:36] bah [01:36] SuperQ: got it [01:36] Which one do I use, Istanbul or recordmydesktop? [01:36] boohoo: woot [01:36] No Pelo. [01:36] pelo: thanks for all the help you, you have help me narrow it down some more [01:36] Pelo: take care [01:37] lee, which ever you prefer , your choice, won't cost you anything [01:37] warriorforgod: hm, you probably want to write the MBR to either hda or hdb , not the partition hdb1. What exactly do you want to see when you boot? [01:37] I have bad records with Istanbul [01:37] SuperQ: is this a Ubuntu addition? [01:37] this Edit Configuration? [01:37] lee: then try the other ;) [01:37] hi [01:37] I want to be able to boot from /dev/hdb instead of /dev/hda [01:37] boohoo: no, normal Gnome feature [01:37] nickrud, where does it go in KDE? [01:37] SuperQ: okies [01:37] can anyone see me talking? [01:37] alphagod: my apologies for the wild goose chase, i guess the next fix is to just get out the labeller and slap 0-3 on the back of the case :) [01:37] warriorforgod, mabey it your boot/grub/menu.lst file [01:37] !GRUB | warriorforgod [01:37] warriorforgod: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

If I set /dev/hda to boot first It boots grub off of /dev/hda [01:38] how do i install it ? [01:38] okies [01:39] nickrud, thanks...

[01:50] sfears: i dont have gui, running server 7.10 ed [01:51] I have gutsy and a Radeon TV 200 QW [Radeon 7500] card when I try using it I get a black screen after the ubuntu loading screen [01:51] ohhh.. umm [01:51] andguent: this was one of those cases where I had never had to do this before so I wasn't sure where to start; once I had someone injecting ideas I've never used it got me on the right path [01:51] network.conf file? [01:51] mabey [01:51] exegesis: You have four meaningful ones. [01:51] maybe* [01:51] computer: can you boot in recovery mode? === farruinn_ is now known as farruinn [01:51] <[dcr]> Whats a good FTP client to use with Linux? [01:51] if I edit my xorg.conf file like the forums say it boots but it only boots in terminal mode or whatever [01:51] orudie: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59310/ is the one I've used, just set the addresses to match your network [01:51] orudie: and install resolvconf , it will read the dns defined in there [01:52] can anyone help me? [01:52] computer: did it ever work? [01:52] <[dcr]> !FTP [01:52] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [01:52] not the ATI card === sCOTTo_ is now known as sCOTTo [01:52] computer: I mean the graphics === icesword is now known as vsftpd [01:53] only with the on board [01:53] when I try editing the xorg.conf file I get terminal but no graphics [01:53] can anyone explain why processes ran by init even with root privs so not seem to have the came rights as root exec from shell [01:53] so I can't open anything [01:53] computer, Make sure you set v/h rates for your monitor not just a base sync rate in that xorg [01:53] nickrud: sudo apt-get install resolvconf ? [01:53] orudie: yes. [01:53] wolvenar: daemons run from init.d are often run as lower privileged users for security reasons, if apache is running as root, and someone cracks your apache, they have root privilages [01:54] so, for apache, it runs as the user www-data intentionally [01:54] can I post my xorg file here... [01:54] hello friends [01:54] because I'm new to configuring it [01:54] hell [01:54] Flannel: then what are the four meaningful ones and what do they mean? [01:54] !paste | computer [01:54] computer: 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) [01:54] can any1 help me figure out how to add a patch to ALSA ? http://www.xwax.co.uk/scratchamp.html [01:54] orudie: after you set that up, the auto will cause the interface to come up when you boot. you can control it manually with sudo ifup eth0 sudo ifdown eth0 (or whatever ethX you actually have) [01:54] nickrud: installed, whats next ? [01:54] orudie: do you know your gateway address? [01:55] computer, NOT in here.. one sec [01:55] exegesis: Well, sda4 is an extended partition, which means it houses sda5 (And any other higher ones you create). Why do you think you should only have three? [01:55] nickrud: yeah [01:55] understandable, however I have a script that I need to have root privs, on a non networked machine, it's works great from bash, but not init or cron [01:55] computer, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit in a term [01:55] orudie, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [01:55] Flannel: well I was just cruising the forums and some people who dual boot have Windows partition, Ubuntu partition, and a backup partition or something [01:55] exegesis: you have a NTFS, an ext3, another NTFS, then your swap partition. [01:55] orudie: copy that text to /etc/network/interfaces , and set your gateway. What exactly is your gateway? [01:55] whats that do Jack? [01:55] Flannel: what do those mean? NTFS, ext3, swap? [01:55] exegesis: they probably have a swap partition as well. don't worry, yours looks normal. [01:56] nickrud: isnt the gateway the ip address of my router ? [01:56] computer: it puts it into a pastebin [01:56] orudie: yes [01:56] nickrud: like 192.168.0.1 [01:56] Nith, what if i wanted to open a console based app? [01:56] exegesis: NTFS is the filesystem for windwos, ext3 is the filesystem (well the default) for Ubuntu, and swap is swapspace for linux [01:56] nickrud: ok [01:56] computer, it pastes your xorg into a pastebin and gives you a link to give people that are helping you [01:56] Flannel: ok, that makes me feel a little better. I can't boot into Vista. Is there a good how-to online for common problems or something? [01:56] wolvenar: visudo -- add a line like this: www-data ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/eject ---- change www-data to your low privilaged username, change /usr/bin/eject to your script path [01:56] test [01:56] nice [01:57] alright [01:57] http://paste.stgraber.org/1435 [01:57] nickrud: should i nano interfaces ? [01:57] thank you andquent I will try that [01:57] I can't play .ogg files on my computer, any idea why? [01:57] exegesis: That'd be a GRUB issue. Do you have a windows entry in your menu.lst? (/boot/grub/menu.lst) pastebin it. I'm actually not sure how to dualboot into Vista with GRUB. Someone else here may be able to help you though. [01:57] Jack_Sparrow, pastebinit, thats really cool !! [01:58] Thats how I have it edited.... but it just takes me to terminal basically [01:58] nickrud: or should i make that executable first ? [01:58] computer: are you sure that's the correct BusID for your card? [01:58] orudie: yes. The only change you should need to make to that stanza I gave is to change the gateway to 192.168.0.1 , every thing else should be fine, unless you have a particular address you want the machine to be, other than xx.xx.xx.202 [01:58] Can any one help? I am trying to change my date format configuration and don't know where it is. I need to change from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy (or vice versa) [01:58] lee___: need the proper codecs [01:58] yeah [01:58] I'd like to build a single module instead of building the whole kernel. How to do it? [01:58] juank_prada: Which are? [01:58] 01:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] [01:58] orudie: it's a configuration file, it doesn't need to be executable [01:58] lee___, just get a player like audacious or xmms look for em [01:58] nickrud: it has no .extention [01:58] * netopalis has major USB issues. If you can help, please send a PM [01:58] lunks.. mabey use the "./configure --with" option? [01:59] orudie: that's by design. Do not change the name of the file at all [01:59] lee___, just getting the codecs 1 by 1 is such a pain [01:59] lee___: mostly gstreamer [01:59] Any suggestions on how to move from a 64bit kernel to a 32bit one? [01:59] computer did you install the correct driver? [01:59] anybody know why xubuntu 7.10 wouldn't be able to join my wlan even though it appears to properly detect my Prism2.5 wifi adapter? [01:59] Umm... well I can't find the driver [01:59] Flannel: here's what my /boot/grub/menu.lst says: [01:59] wgwinn: reinstall the os [01:59] sfears, sorry but it's not clear for me. :D I use make-kpkg to build the kernel. I want to specifically build only b43, my wireless driver. I accidentally checked it off on my .config [02:00] computer: I wouldn't suggest attempting to use a card with no driver [02:00] Flannel: I assume that means I have a Windows entry [02:00] Well I don't know where to get the driver [02:00] USB devices are not working in Ubuntu, nor are they working in Windows Vista. I'm running Wubi, so this may be an explanation of the link. Any suggestions? [02:00] computer: google the model [02:00] I have to use this card because I have to dual boot to windows and this card is the only one that works in windows and this is my parents computer [02:00] lunks, you could download the driver source files, compile them, & add the module to your /etc/modules file [02:01] I have googled it and people give the one program for linux that installs drivers for ATI and NVIDIA but thats for the newer cards and this is too old for it :( [02:01] computer, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org 59313 from my ati 7500 [02:01] ? [02:01] sfears, do you know if there are other ways of enabling modules? /etc/modules didn't work very good last time, but it could be bad luck. If you know another way to ensure module loading, please tell me. :D [02:01] Anyone? [02:01] it's blank [02:01] nith you here [02:01] sfears, ah, and I have the sources, but dunno how to install it [02:02] computer: I believe the link he meant was http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59313 [02:02] lunks.. sudo modprobe modulename [02:02] nickrud: hey, i hope resolvconf is not gonna conflict with my already installed and configured ddclient [02:03] LOL! [02:03] apt-get moo [02:03] wtf? [02:03] im in dier need of help getting srcds to show on the main server list. i have set my router up to work with it. its just now i think theres something in linux holding me back [02:03] sfears, hmm i knew about it, but what if I want to make it load every start? [02:03] sfears, and also, how to install a module that comes with the kernel? [02:03] zosky, Yes very cool [02:03] !srcds [02:03] haha.. moo [02:03] Factoid srcds not found [02:03] i have moo'd toady [02:03] lunks.. add the module name to /etc/modules [02:04] zosky, Sorry, I was booting another computer and uploading the xorg from that 7500 ati [02:04] sfears, ok, then =) [02:04] thats xorg doesn't have a ATI it's intel stuff [02:04] I installed Audacious and XMMS, but I can't see my .ogg files in it, why not? :< [02:04] sfears, thank you very much! [02:04] lunks.. modprobe is the program that inteligently loads modules [02:04] orudie: resolvconf sets up /etc/resolv.conf for you, so you can use names in firefox instead of ip addresses, has nothing to do with ddclient telling the world your ip address [02:04] lee___: you need th codecs [02:04] is there something i have to do within linux to get my real ip to show up? [02:04] juank_prada: I have them .. [02:04] nickrud: Ok. I followed that link you gave me. I issued the sudo /sbin/grub, then root (hd1,0), setup(hd1) and then quit. So now when I reboot it should boot of of hdb which is hd1 in grub correct? [02:04] juank_prada, audacious comes with em [02:04] computer, Wrong box... [02:04] lunks.. so that would be the way to load any module that isn't compiled directally into the kernel [02:04] Jack_Sparrow, wow man you is busy [02:05] If I could find a driver download for it, it would be nice [02:05] lee___, can u see the playlist is what u mean? [02:05] Kumool: It's a video I'm trying to watch [02:05] Kumool: hehe didnt saw the audacious part... [02:05] !who | computer [02:05] computer: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:05] sfears, I'm only missing the install part, I'm afraid [02:05] i tried to install Extreme Tux Racer but it says dependency not satisfiable: libc6, but it is installed? [02:05] how come? === Itakuu is now known as Itaku [02:05] sfears, where should compiled modules go in order to modprobe find them [02:05] lee___, try vlc it can see any type of format [02:05] lee___: oh well you should have said that first... use Totem or VLC [02:05] Can anyone help me with my weird USB issues? [02:05] warriorforgod: did you do the sudo grub-install /dev/hdb ? That should have been as far as you needed to go [02:06] anyone... I just need the 01:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] [02:06] driver === Smorg is now known as Ormaaj [02:06] computer, Yes.. sorry.. I cant remember which box has the 7500.. [02:06] i THINK that's what the depmod -a command is for.. someone else back me up on that one [02:06] is there a good screen recorder for linux [02:06] is someone in here anygood with srcds set up? and router bypass [02:06] nickrud: the sudo grub-install errored out, so I went on to the manual way. === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude|laptop [02:06] !network [02:06] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:06] itaku istanbul [02:06] juank_prada, i think he's already tried totem but it doesnt see em [02:06] computer, it looks like you edited that xorg of yours manually.. [02:06] yeah I did [02:06] download drivers/make/make install/depmod -a module name/sudo modprobe modulename [02:06] nickrud: ok, can i show you what i got so far in /network/interfaces [02:06] orudie: good, I was going to ask for that [02:07] lee___, is it a .ogg? what is it? [02:07] mabey the make install registers the module with modprobe [02:07] maybe* [02:07] warriorforgod: then you should be good, if you set up the work space properly [02:07] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59316/ [02:07] computer: revert back to an old xorg.cong file to get the standard video card working and try one of the graphical methods. Obviously the manual method isn't working for you [02:07] Kumool: It's a .ogg, and even VLC crashed tryign to play it [02:07] nickrud: ok. Here goes. If I am not back in 5 minutes, it didn't work, but thx for the help either way. [02:07] computer, lspci | grep -i vga should show you the right pci port for setting up the video card in your xorg === Ormaaj is now known as Smorg [02:08] lee___: by any chance... do you have compiz enabled? [02:08] how do i use istanbul? [02:08] juank_prada: Not to my knowledge, how can I check? [02:08] orudie: I missed removing the # from in front of iface , otherwise it looks good [02:08] lee___: do you ahve the cool effects ubuntu comes with? [02:08] mrpockets: proof that linux programmers usually are dorks :) [02:08] No. [02:08] i thought all programmers were dorks [02:09] lol [02:09] <~~~ not a dork [02:09] orudie: after you make that change, you should be able to bring it up with sudo ifup eth0 [02:09] juank_prada: how do i use istanbul? [02:09] FloodBot3 [02:09] What is that? [02:09] sfears: doesn't matter what else you do in life, even get into space: if you program, you're a dork [02:09] lee___, did u install from synaptic u usually need som libraries...? [02:09] nickrud: ifup: interface eth0 already configured [02:09] Kumool: Install what? [02:09] <[gquit]bombadil> whats a good graphical ftp client? [02:10] agreed nickrud [02:10] orudie: sudo ifdown eth0 ; sudo ifup eth0 [02:10] * netopalis could really use some help with his lack of working USB devices...Anyone know how to get them working? [02:10] netopalis, be a little more specific [02:10] computer, I am trying one other computer to see if it has the 7500 [02:10] your usb fan is not working? [02:10] nickrud: did that, nothing happend, i guess restarted and changes applied ? [02:10] little desktop airconditioner? [02:10] lol, nothing works on my USB ports [02:11] exegesis: yeah, that's a windows entry. Do you have another one like that? Or is that the only one? [02:11] webcams, mp3 players, usb memory sticks.. [02:11] And it doesn't work on Windows either [02:11] orudie: you shouldn't see anything, but you should be able to ping google.com [02:11] netopalis: does it work anywhere at all ever? when was the last time it worked? can you get any usb device with a light to light up when plugged in? [02:11] lee___: can you play any other video format? [02:11] It worked a few days ago, and the lights come on [02:11] sounds like a hardware malfunction [02:11] haha.. i should put that on a shirt [02:11] [gquit]bombadil: Places > Connect to Server will work. [02:11] juank_prada: No idea. [02:11] nickrud: pinging, didnt know i couldnt ping before [02:11] netopalis: have you checked bios settings to verify there is no silly "disable usb" setting? [02:11] But wouldn't a hardware malfunction just hit one of the 3 instead of all 3? [02:11] Yes [02:11] My BIOS has very bare-bones settings [02:11] orudie: should get something back right away. [02:12] lee___, well if vlc crashes it means that u need som libraries but i dont think so because ogg is the default playin format mayb it has something to do with ur graph card or something [02:12] lee___: try this-> pres Alt+f3 and write : gstreamer-properties [02:12] mabey the usb bus? if it doesn't work in windows or linux it's not a software problem [02:12] lee___: sorry alt+f2 [02:12] Flannel: yes, nearly identical except sda3 and root (hd0,2) [02:12] how can i get my real ip to show? i have done everything you can do with my router to get it to show and it wont work. what do i do? [02:12] <[gquit]bombadil> Flannel: thanks [02:12] Well, I thought it might be software since I'm running Wubi [02:12] nickrud: thanx for your help, i have another thing if you dont mind [02:12] There is a link there.. [02:12] orudie: you all set then? [02:12] exegesis: the other one was root (hd0,0) right? [02:12] yeah [02:12] and sda1 [02:12] If it is a hardware issue, where can I start to fix it? [02:12] can anyone tell me the channel for hardy questions? [02:12] netopalis: are you on a laptop [02:13] nickrud: i got something else though :) if you dont mind [02:13] tech0007: ubuntu+1 [02:13] exegesis: right. Thats your primary. The stuff after # is comemnts, so the sda1/3 actually doesn't matter. [02:13] nickrud: thanx for your help bro [02:13] netopolis:what does the output of these two commands give you: 'lsusb' and 'lspci|grep -i usb' [02:13] exegesis: What happens when you try and boot that entry? [02:13] orudie: sure, I just want positive profe that it worked ;) [02:13] if i download a screen saver how do i set it? [02:13] nickrud: thanks! [02:13] no one is going to help me ic [02:13] Ubuntu server should come installed with PostgreSQL, not MySQL. MySQL is lame. :/ [02:13] lee___: then go to the Video Tab and see the default Autput... click on Test to check your output is actually working [02:14] orudie: so, what's the question. I hope it's as easy [02:14] hi. i just did a fresh install of gutsy, and for some reason the boot is much longer than before, and doesnt display the ubuntu-loading image, its just blank. any ideas? [02:14] Flannel: I can't remember right now, it's been a little while since I've done it. Vista tries to fix itself, though, and never actually fixes anything (suprise suprise) [02:14] bigdad1e: what do you mean by your real IP [02:14] bigdad1e: what's your "real ip" the one of your computer or router? [02:14] adorablepuppy: then it wouldn't be lamp [02:14] instead of a network ip [02:14] * sCOTTo needs an experienced SMB persons help :( [02:14] to get rid of 192.168 [02:14] Flannel: I know that you probably can't do much if anything with that information, but is there somewhere online I can go after I try to boot into Vista and know what it actually says? [02:14] and get 24.144 [02:14] bigdad1e: whatismyip.com [02:14] exegesis: best place is google, actually. [02:15] itaku: run istanbul and youll get an icon on your taskbar richt clicl on it will give you options... play with it [02:15] exegesis: get an error code/message/whatever, and google that sucker. [02:15] Seems to work, juank_prada [02:15] My output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59319/ [02:15] And yes, I am on a laptop [02:15] k [02:15] err [02:15] this isn't specific to this room, but maybe someone can help... what are the security risks of leaving keys loaded in gpg-agent and ssh-agent? i'm using keychain to persist them across login sessions, and i'm curious what risks i might be in danger of [02:15] i know whatsmyip.org. thats not what im asking. it still shows up after i config dmz on my router [02:15] those taskbar things dont show [02:15] netopalis: changing hardware on a laptop is risky [02:15] nickrud: ok here it goes, trying to run a srcds, i pretty much have it set up, just when i run the exec. server command, the terminal stays active and if i close the terminal window, the server stops [02:15] I know, lol, I've been through a few [02:15] nickrud: would like to set that on auto start and run in the background [02:15] * juank_prada directs itaku to http://dev.gentoo.org/~zaheerm/screencasts/istanbul-screencasting-itself-annotated.ogg [02:16] netopalis: if you plug something into a usb port, does lsusb ever change? anything plugged in as you ran that? [02:16] But you think that the USB ports are shot themselves? [02:16] nickrud: and i'm also working remotely [02:16] Nothing was plugged in [02:16] Let me grab my memory stick [02:16] Flannel: haha, thanks, will do. And if all else fails I will come back here. THanks for you help. [02:16] itaku sorry is left click [02:16] orudie: do & , the & will put it in the background. Then you can type exit , and the terminal will close and the program keep on running [02:16] Can anyone help me analyze a problem...I am only able to boot into Ubuntu intermittently. When I can't, my monitor gets no signal and Ctrl + Alt + f1 does nothing. If I can boot into Ubuntu, it will run for a period of time and then when I try to run an application that requires any computing at all it returns to no monitor signal and ctrl + alt + f1 doesn't work. [02:16] nickrud: Who cares about LAMP. . . It's just a stupid acronym. Make a new one. LAPP. Linux, Apache, PostgreSQL, and Python [02:16] nickrud: I think it will terminate that process if you close the terminal [02:16] bigdad1e: are you trying to set your IP? [02:16] i need help to get latest security vulnerabilities .... [02:16] nickrud: do you mind if i pm you for this ? [02:17] nickrud: since that process is a job for the shell you were in [02:17] orudie: to set it to autostart, add the command (without sudo) to /etc/rc.local , that will run and start the program on boot [02:17] PurpZeY: sound like a hardware failure [02:17] lee___: please check if you can play any other video format [02:17] when i download a screensaver how do i set it as my screen saver? [02:17] e.g. from CVE website [02:17] yep that does help :) [02:17] bigdad1e: the ip address 24.144.x.x has nothing to do with your computer, only your router, you need to find out if you can query your router somehow [02:17] farruinn: strangely enough, if you type exit it keeps up. I'd been doing disown , but found out it's not necessary. Try with gedit [02:17] Itaku: System -> preferences -> screensaver [02:17] sCOTTo: That's what I'm afraid of...any ideas as to what might be failing? Last time it happened, I was playing a video and when it cut out both sound and video cut, that mean it isn't the video card/ [02:18] is there any way i can get register myself to get latest updates? [02:18] ahora si puedo hablar mas comodo [02:18] lee___: if you can then its a codec issue which means you removed the gstreamer ones from your machine [02:18] PurpZeY: sound like CPU or MB maybe [02:18] Please help. I plug in my cellphone with a micro sd card and it doesnt come up. Im assuming i need some kind of drivers, or is there a way to access it somehow? [02:18] No change when plugging in devices [02:18] Also: I just noticed, but the light goes off shortly after it's plugged in [02:18] adorablepuppy: it was a lame joke [02:18] i'm... Xd this is not ubuntu-es [02:18] cornfused: i know but i downloaded a screen saver off of apt-get but its not showing up [02:18] netopalis: then it is definately a hardware thing [02:18] PurpZeY: open ur case and check if there are any heat sync parts off the MB or anything - make sure everything is in tact [02:18] sCOTTo: But the problem doesn't seem to occur in windows (on a separate a HD) [02:18] Would a PCI USB card work, you think?

[02:25] anyone familiar with how bootchart starts up [02:25] because it isnt logging my boots [02:25] bosanac: try joingin #winehq for help [02:25] andguent: ah, thanks [02:25] bosanac - probably steam's fault, just go to options in CStrike [02:26] orudie: yes. You should get back a command line. If you type jobs , that process will be shown. That means it's running in the background, while your typing in the shell is in the forground. [02:26] when i download a screensaver how do i set it as my screen saver? [02:26] how do i go about joining the XUBUNTU irc?

[02:26] RESmonkey: /join #xubuntu [02:26] Itaku, system/prefs/screensaver [02:26] thank you :) [02:26] sfears i downloaded one and its not showing up [02:26] hi, i cant get my normal resolution, it's not an option. whats the command to reconfigure xorg [02:26] brandonc503: can you access the server other ways than dreamweaver [02:27] settings and such [02:27] hi how do i change to different workstations using the keyboard? [02:27] cornfused right but i want to use dreamweaver [02:27] juank_prada: Nope [02:27] brandonc503: you will probably need to configure apache in a way that accepts request from your dreamweaver pc [02:27] Pirate_Hunter: consoles? I think CTRL ALT + F1 to F7 [02:27] priate: as in workspaces? try Ctrl-Alt-Right [02:27] brandonc503: well let's start with just a normal connection [02:27] brandonc503: do you know the IP of the other comp? [02:27] nickrud: i just did ./srcds_run -console -game tf +ip localhost -port 27015 +maxplayers 32 +map cp_badlands & . and it didnt get me back in terminal === co is now known as she [02:28] sacamano - to reconfigure X, (i'm assuming you know what you are doing, if not please ask) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:28] When umount says a device is busy, is there any way to find out what is using the device? [02:28] beautifulsnow: nope thats something else thats for cli/shell [02:28] cornfused yea i have my house ip forwarded thru router to computer... [02:28] nickrud: nevermind, i typed jobs and it took me back to terminal [02:28] thax a lot man [02:28] orudie: yw [02:28] RequinB4, I pseudo-know what I'm doing. I did this once a couple months ago when my resolution got screwed up [02:28] so when you enter my ip you get to my server [02:28] but i wana use dreamweaver to edit from other computer [02:28] nickrud: so if i want to stop this now, how would i stop this job ? [02:28] i can use ftp but dont know username and pass..... [02:29] lee___: maybe its a stupid question but.. are you sure you are saving your videos as .OGG? [02:29] orudie: one way is fg , and enter [02:29] Yeah juank_prada [02:29] the setting up apache to accept stuff from dreamweaver seems right [02:29] brandonc503: what ftp server are you using? [02:29] ahora si lo vistes? [02:29] brandonc503: and alternatively, you can use samba [02:29] brandonc503: Please try to explain your problem all in one line :P It becomes difficult to follow what you say if you break it up [02:29] sacamano: well, then might want to type here what you are trying to do and get confirmation :P [02:30] when i download a screensaver how do i set it as my screen saver??????? [02:30] lee___: then im afraid i cant help you :S... sorry. but it seems like recording is not doing it right [02:30] RequinB4, my laptop won't allow me to use 1200x800.

[02:31] lol ubot that channel is more than dead [02:31] priate: as in workspaces? try Ctrl-Alt-Right [02:31] Pirate_Hunter: are you using compiz [02:31] shut it i kno its a bot [02:31] brandonc503: is not a matter of just having lamp... you need to configure it to accepts request from your other computer [02:31] Good evening all, I have bootchart installed to log my boots, *BUT* i have no charts in /var/log/bootchart/* anyone know how to fix it, for some reason bootchart isnt loading or logging [02:31] sacamano - It is entirely possible that X COULD be the problem, i assume you're tried system - prefs - screen resolution? and ensure that that res is applicable for your comp [02:31] Pirate_Hunter: as in diferent computers or as in different virtual desktops? [02:31] juank_prada, brandonc503, LAMP is configured to accept connections by default [02:31] cornfused: nope [02:32] RequinB4, Correct. Resolution wasn't available, but it's the native resolution both on ubuntu and windows [02:32] nickrud: how would i go back into that process ? of my command that i executed? cause it has output [02:32] beautifulsnow: hmm i probably should've been more specific i mean those four default workstation in ubuntu, sorry for that [02:32] sacamano - then yes, boot recovery mode and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:32] and RequinB4, do you advise using Fglrx or the ATI specific driver on Screens and Graphic Settings [02:33] Flannel: brandonc503, then whats needed is to configure the routing or set dreamweaver to look for the static ip from the lamp server or domain if any [02:33] sacamano - whichever works best - not my area of expertise [02:33] :p [02:33] haha [02:33] ok [02:33] thanks [02:33] Oh ok Pirate_Hunter :D Well, CTRL + ALT + RIGHT and CTRL + ALT + LEFT shoudl let you switch, also.... you can add the workspace applet to your gnome panel so you can just click the worksapce you want to go to [02:33] cornfused: yeah read the reply i sent to beautifulsnow - the default workstations that come with ubuntu i.e. on the lower right had-side corner [02:33] juank_prada: Can you play this? http://fractal.cluenet.org/~lee/out.ogg [02:34] If those keys dont work, go to sytem>preferences>keyboard shortcuts and see what the current shortcut to switch desktops is [02:34] lee___: let me see [02:34] beautifulsnow: thanx you do not know how helpful that was work can progress a little bit faster now :D [02:34] juank_prada: Dreamweaver talks to servers in the form of FTP. So you need to setup an FTP server. Different ends of the webserver. LAMP does nothing but serve content, Dreamweaver wants to upload to the server, usually done via FTP (although, if DW supports SCP, I'd definately go with that, you should look into it. It's much easier to configure as well) [02:34] orudie: now you're getting into stuff I never paid attention enough to learn, didn't want to capture output from a backgrounded process. [02:35] juank_prada but there are several access types FTP local/network webDAV and rds... what one should i use... i only know FTP [02:35] Pirate_Hunter: *IF* you're using Compiz (visual effects) you'll probably have to run ccsm from command line (console, terminal, whatever you wanna call it :D) and go to General Preferences, then to the last tab, and set the shortcuts there [02:35] nickrud: thats very important for me man [02:35] Flannel: well ive never used dreamweaver so i assumed it worked with http instead [02:35] junk_prada but if i use ftp i dont know what user name and pass to use cause its my computer... not some web site account i made [02:35] beautifulsnow: isnt there a way I can use the number to move straight to the workstation i need? [02:35] orudie: then, ask some more. Actually, asking on #bash would probably get you quicker, smarter advice on that issue [02:36] after doing a chmod +x on a file, why is it when i hit enter while selecting the file, it opens up a text editor? [02:36] Pirate_Hunter: mmm.. *ponders* if you use just a number, it will make it diffuclt to type that number will it not ? :D But say, you could use.... SUPER(windows key) + 1, 2 , 3, 4, hows that sound? [02:36] beautifulsnow: dot use compiz graphics is really crap and I have no need to buy a better one if it allows me to work and watch movies but not use compiz [02:36] i think adding a session that runs rdesktop is one of the most useful things I've done [02:36] brandonc503: sorry i cant help you with dreamweaver [02:37] Pirate_Hunter: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts [02:37] what kind of program could i use to make a dvd copy? [02:37] lee___: yes i can play that :S [02:37] cornfused: thanx [02:37] juank_prada: Well, I can't. :S [02:37] Alright, then Pirate_Hunter, System>Prefrences>Keyboard shortcuts is what you are looking for, you can click the keyboard short cut you want to change, and then press what you want to use... have fun ;) [02:38] lee___: thats soo weird... i mean.. how can you play some other ogg files but not that one o_O [02:38] juank_prada: Good question, although, the only ones I have been able to play are in Firefox [02:38] beautifulsnow: np thanx very much progress is being made even now [02:38] brandonc503: you keep saying you don't know what username and pass to use, is that you don't know what's currently set up? [02:39] lee___: you have mplayer or something else installed as a plugin for your firefox? [02:39] anybody have any success with a usb wireless card? [02:39] jacoblyles: what card do you need help with [02:40] cornfused: Linksys WUSB11 v4.0 === Cosmosan is now known as Cosmo-san [02:40] cornfused: Been working on this for more hours than is good for my sanity [02:40] Why wouldnt apt-get be able to find usb-rndis???

How do I enable glx on my Intel gm965 video card? [02:41] beautifulsnow, nm i got it.thanks [02:41] jacoblyles: be patient at least your not compiling anything so just think f yourself as being lucky [02:41] Nith i may have it set up but i dont know what it would be [02:42] hi, there is any 50plus room to chat? [02:42] lee___: so you cant any ogg file with in your desktop.. only from firefox? [02:42] lmao yeah you could be stuck compiling c++ code like me.lol === Empath is now known as Empathy [02:42] nick take a look at my rc.local plz, is this what its supposed to be ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59322/ [02:42] LadyPerfecta: huh dont get the joke??? [02:42] Nith if i went to a web host i get username and pass but since is my computer im not sure what to use [02:42] ahh [02:42] brandonc503: do you know what ftp server you have installed? [02:42] I'm willing to buy a new wireless card, preferably USB, if it is known to work easily with ubuntu. 6 hours is worth more to me than $50 [02:42] juank_prada: Yes, and I can't play that one. [02:43] unless its part of apache then none [02:43] is there a way to tell wc to look into subdirectories? [02:43] nickrud: take a look at my rc.local plz, is this what its supposed to be ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59322/ [02:43] jacoblyles: do you know what the chipset is? [02:43] most of the forum threads I've followed on WUSB11 end up with someone giving up in frustration [02:43] mc__: feed it multiple files (with a recursive ls [02:44] is there a html editor like frontpage that allows different views while working cause ive got bluefish and screem and I couldnt find that options which is so useful? [02:44] jacoblyles: let me see the result of 'lsusb'. paste it into a pastebin [02:44] brandonc503: ahh, then I'd advise installing proftp [02:44] !paste | jacoblyles [02:44] jacoblyles: 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) [02:45] Does anybody know how I can setup a wacom tablet? [02:45] orudie: you don't need the period at the end, and there's no way to see the output. You need to redirect the output to some file, like with >& (I think), other people here know much more about redirecting output to files for reading [02:45] I need a Ubuntu based Mail Server? Is there any advice for me? [02:45] cat /filename > /home/username/Desktop [02:45] Flannel: Im not sure how to do it. because I need to filter the files for the .py exstenstion. But if I do "ls -R *py" it does not look into the subdirectories either [02:45] I currently have the latest version of Ubuntu 64-bit installed on an intel laptop dualbooting with vista. Is there a reasonable way to convert it to either run 32-bit kernel OR dualboot the same installation with a 32bit kernel from the grub menu so that i can use it in vmware? vmware on this chip does not support 64bit guest OSes, unfortunately [02:45] wgwinn: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 384, column 84 [02:46] cornfused: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59323/ [02:46] CITguy: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy section 1.6.3 [02:46] Johnuah: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html === Empathy is now known as Empath [02:46] Flannel: Thank You a lot [02:47] weird bot failure there [02:47] jacoblyles: let me do a little research to brush up on some things [02:47] HELP! how do i make my laptop touchpad spin the cube without the help of any keyboard keys...? [02:47] Nith you mean ProFTPd? its all i found in google === Empath is now known as Yoomoo [02:47] brandonc503: yeah, its a ubuntu package [02:47] is there a html editor like frontpage that allows different views while working cause ive got bluefish and screem and I couldnt find that options which is so useful? [02:47] brandonc503: on your lamp, type sudo aptitude install proftpd [02:47] Pirate_Hunter: nvu? [02:48] * juank_prada directs Pirate_Hunter to http://www.aptana.com/ [02:48] munk_, you dont [02:48] smurnjiff: is that the only app? it seems to be outdated and not worked on any more if im not mistaken, i hope i am... [02:48] brandonc503: I advise stand alone [02:48] Pirate_Hunter: check Aptana [02:49] juank_prada: will give it a look [02:49] Like juank_prada said, aptana is useful [02:49] Nith thanks was about to ask you that [02:49] :) [02:49] Jack_Sparrow, well isnt linux the one who does whatever you want it to? is there a way? thats what i am asking and if yes what is it.. [02:49] brandonc503: by default, you log in with your lamp's username and password [02:49] Nith k its done so do i configure anything restart? [02:50] munk_, You could set the cube to rotate by touching the touchpad, but you would not have any control of the mouse for anything else, everytime you use the pad you would just spion the cube [02:50] jacoblyles, you might need your drivers http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1166859929435&packedargs=sku%3DWUSB11&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper&lid=2943529435B01&displaypage=download [02:50] brandonc503: nope, it should work now. If you like security, I advise changing the port to something other than 21 [02:50] finish picking the options & download [02:50] brandonc503: if you choose to do that, edit /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf and look for the port line but that'll be after [02:51] Jack_Sparrow, how about doing that only with the aid of one of my mouse buttons that are beside the touchpad? [02:51] munk_, yes, linuz can be configured to do about anything.. even something bordering on unsmart [02:51] unsmart.. no such thing [02:51] :) [02:51] brandonc503: on your windows box, open up your "my documents" folder then type username@ip into the address bar [02:51] brandonc503: where ip is the ip of your lamp box and username is a user on it. It'll ask you for the password and you'll be online [02:51] munk_, maybe you should /join #Compiz and see some of the options people are using [02:51] sfears: I'll check it out. I do have ndiswrapper installed and I have the windows drivers [02:51] anyone here use vmware? [02:52] alright.. then nevermind [02:52] when I try to open a remote vmdk it throws an error [02:52] Jack_Sparrow, haha yes so ive heard... i tried asking but no one is responding: [02:52] uid98 [02:52] sfears: still no wireless option under network connection [02:52] brandonc503: last step would be to symlink /var/www to your home directory for easy access [02:52] I've used ubuntu in vmware [02:52] dsmith> what error? please pastebin it [02:52] Fannel: are you there [02:52] also I've used it in virtualbox [02:52] juank_prada: it looks good but i guess its extensively big as a app goes but i havent checked that yet [02:52] i have a vmdk on my nas and cannot open it [02:52] Nith, brandonc503, don't symlink it. You already have the userdir module available. [02:52] have you loaded the ndiswrapper module.. "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" [02:52] can someone help me. i have 6 instances of apache2 running [02:52] can you open up other ones? [02:52] I need a mail server package. whick has included the web , mail parts [02:52] Flannel: expand plz [02:52] brandonc503: make a folder in your homedir named public_html and put stuff there (make it readable by www-data) [02:52] Yoomoo: only on local [02:52] mlLK, kill them? [02:53] YooI am trying via network [02:53] mlLK: thats normal [02:53] and easy to be installed? [02:53] Alfarin: well ya [02:53] Flannel: that is? [02:53] mlLK: yes [02:53] and it works fine locally? [02:53] sfears: what's supposed to happen when I type that? It pauses for a second and brings me back to the prompt [02:53] Yoomoo: yes [02:53] Flannel: is that default with apache? [02:53] mlLK: Apache keeps a bunch of servrs running [02:53] Nith: is what? [02:53] that activated the drivers loaded in ndiswrapper [02:53] Flannel> you sure? I thought its php that's suppose to have multiple instances running due to fast-cgi [02:53] check your network connections [02:53] have you checked to see if your vmwammrme server is configured correctly? [02:53] Flannel: userdir module [02:54] genii: ya, thats the word on the street [02:54] jacoblyles: have you tried ndiswrapper [02:54] i'm running configure of extreme tux racer, but it says no gl library could be found, what should i do? [02:54] we're working on that right now cornfused [02:54] Check that a line for uid 98 appears in /etc/passwd. [02:54] it runs fine [02:54] Nith: it is. Check /etc/apache2/mods-enabled and you'll see userdir.conf and userdir.load [02:54] Flannel why make that folder why not use the ones i have in /var/www? [02:54] so does gusty default to ip6? [02:54] so it's only the ubuntu vmdk which is mmessed up? [02:54] I need a intergrated Mail Server, which has included Web part and Mail Part.. [02:54] juank_prada: i just noticed something in the video clip isnt that for windows? im using ubuntu not going to be helpful [02:55] brandonc503: Because you can put stuff in that folder as your own user, without having to deal with permission issues inside of www-data [02:55] Yoomoo: no any vmdk that I move over to my NAs refuses to start and gives me "Check that a line for uid 98 appears in /etc/passwd." [02:55] brandonc503: er, /var/www not www-data [02:55] I tried edting /etc/passwd, but nothing is working for me [02:55] brandonc503: Flannel's right about the possible permissions errors, you'll have to "sudo a2enmod userdir" to get it to work [02:55] sfears: still no wireless option under network connections [02:55] sfears: should I reboot? [02:56] anybody here knows a good app for a calculator? [02:56] sfears: don't know if this helps [02:56] brandonc503: You put things in public_html dir in your home.

[04:10] nickrud: ah, true ;) [04:10] so then this doesn't make sense on ubuntu /debian : # Default-Start: 3 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6 ? [04:11] nickrud: here is what happens http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59333/ [04:11] ks no, default start would be 2 3 4 5 [04:11] bluefoxx: festival in synaptic [04:11] salut ca va?

[04:11] orudie: and bind9 freezes there? [04:11] nickrud: yup [04:12] orudie: sudo killall bind9 [04:12] nickrud: still there, not changed [04:12] nickrud: ok thanks, just wonder if the guy just copied sysv script without knowing specifics of debian/ubuntu [04:12] ks you can set up the runlevels like that if you like, but you'd have to maintain them by hand [04:13] nickrud: sudo killall bind9 [04:13] bind9: no process killed [04:13] orudie: ps -A | grep bind , killall [04:13] nickrud: as opposed to update-rc.d ? [04:13] ks that's manually ;) [04:14] nick: ps -A | grep bind [04:14] nickrud: ps -A | grep bind returned no output [04:14] nickrud: then what isn't manual ? :) [04:14] good evening everyone, can anyone tell me how to uninstall xubuntu ?? [04:14] ks: having the runlevels set by apt-get when you install and uninstall [04:15] or more precisely, dpkg ;) [04:15] nickrud: this is startup script for the app [04:16] ks I'm speaking in generalities, your specific script obviously doesn't use the debian policy So, manual [04:16] hello [04:16] Hey folks, trying to update my ~/.bashrc file after adding some alias' but "source ~/.bashrc" isn't working, and insight? [04:16] mutilate and kill everybody! [04:16] :D [04:16] nickrud: maybe i should set the /etc/netowrk/interfaces back to default ? [04:16] nickrud: ok thanks :) [04:17] Talleyrand: pastebin it, and explain how exactly you determined it is not working [04:17] Has anyone had any luck upgrading the Nvidia drivers from the nvidia website ? [04:17] does anyone have suggestions for good wireless network GUIs? I don't like iwconfig, and I want something that shows networks and has the most features (if possible also logging signal strength). Any recommendations? [04:17] orudie: sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/bind9.prerm , and on the first blank line put exit 0 . This will bypass the stopping of bind9 , and should allow the sudo apt-get remove --purge to continue [04:18] orudie: if you're not sure about the blank line, insert a line at line 2 and put the exit 0 there [04:18] how do I install a deb package?? dpkg -i http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.400_all.deb [04:18] does not work [04:18] Newbuntu2: err, the default perhaps? [04:19] fbc: sudo dpkg -i [04:19] nickrud, it still does not work [04:19] fbc and seeing what you're using, webmin is not got [04:19] !webmin | fbc [04:19] fbc: 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. [04:19] ok thanks [04:20] ebox [04:20] newbuntu: Yeah I've got a similar gui problem on a kubuntu box.

Check that /etc/init.d/bind9 is gone [04:30] nickrud: yup gone [04:30] orudie: now, shutdown should proceed normally [04:30] bluefoxx you install the male and female voice in synaptic for example festvox-italp16k is female italian voice [04:31] nick: yes shut down was nice and quick, what about MySQL is that gonna work ?

Did you define a specific network ip for mysql in it's config [04:33] Also, How do i get OpenGL Games to work? usualy when i start them they like flicker in and out not even in there desinated window [04:33] has anyone figured out Mach64 driver yet [04:33] nickrud: no, just installed didnt change anything everything on default [04:34] why do I have to reinstall my nvidia driver every time i reboot? The config file doesn't change, but it doesn't recognize the nvidia option til i reinstall it after a boot. [04:34] orudie: I didn't think you did anything. And setting up your external connection shouldn't affect mysql at all. I mean, I used that exact setup with mysql just fine. Thinking, sorta [04:34] does amarok not handle wma files?

You have a wireless option becuase your system sees your wireless card, but you cant see any wireless networks.. [05:02] schemacs: it does. [05:03] Johnuah: It's all in the documentation that comes pre-installed. [05:03] is there something special i need to do in order to share a mounted usb hdd using samba? Unlike my other shares, this one seems to force me to enter a password when you connect to it [05:03] tony, but do that mail server have the function of web browser? [05:03] Newbuntu2, do you know what kind of card you have? [05:03] Johnuah: What do you mean? A mail server and a web browser are two different applications... [05:03] ok, now the output of dpkg -l '*mysql*' | grep ^ii === cSlacker_ is now known as cSlacker [05:04] zero88: its an EUB362. I'm using ndiswrapper [05:04] Tony: I knew that , but I just want to combine them. alike exchange [05:04] Newbuntu2, oh ok. So have you gotten it to work at all yet? [05:04] Does anyone know of a way to make my PCI wifi card broadcast itself as a wireless AP? [05:04] Johnuah: Well, courier might work for you. Otherwise you can always add on the webmail service of your choice - roundcube is pretty for that. [05:04] nickrud: i get no output upon dpkg -l '*mysql*' | grep ^ii [05:04] zero88: just installed it [05:05] ok, good. Now, ls -l /etc/mysql [05:05] Tony: and tech detail link??

[05:08] nickrud: ok /me crossing fingures [05:09] Johnuah: Of course. [05:09] Newbuntu2, well to tell you the truth I dont think i could help you any more. Im stuck pretty much at the same location as you. Ndiswrapper says the same thing for me, but i could never connect. Myc ard lets me see wireless networks but cant connect. My advice for you is to go to Ndiswrapper website. and somewhere i think in the Q/A's or somewhere, it will tell you specifics for your card. For my card it told me i can only see net [05:09] works, but canot connect [05:09] nickrud: FAIL [05:09] I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network. The network tray item finds the access point, and shows a strong signal. I use a 128-bit WEP key on my network, and I enter it into the box that comes up. There is no connection, and a while later, the box pops up again. I am 100% positive that the password is correct, because I can turn on 'show key' to verify it. What could be the problem? [05:10] Newbuntu2: erm, try sudo dhclient wlan0 ... just my 2c [05:10] I should note that everything works fine in Windows. [05:10] What is the function of each of the 8 databases which Tracker sets up in ~/.cache/tracker/ ?

[05:11] roundcube lokks very well, but does it support pop3 receiving [05:11] orudie: I'm at a loss then. to me, there's no rational reason you would have a non-working mysql. The last option is to mysqldump your database , remove the databases, and reload it. [05:11] Newbuntu2 / zero88: my advice would be to run away from ndiz if at all possible .. try to use he free drivers with fwcutter if possible.. buy a different card if you have to. ndis is not a very good solution imho [05:11] How do i customize the animation of a window closing? is their somewhere i can get different themes for this [05:11] nickrud: so maybe we should configure the /etc/network/interfaces to default ? [05:11] ndiswrapper -i [05:11] hola [05:11] orudie: you can try that. I don't see what effect it could have, but you're welcome to try [05:12] just my 5c though.. ymmv :) [05:12] iwconfig wlan0 essid [05:12] dhclient wlan0 [05:12] nickrud: so how would the default interfaces look like ? [05:13] snarkster, is that for me? [05:13] formolQC: Insert -> Fields -> Page Number/Page Count [05:13] orudie. you can back up the /etc/network/interfaces file , then all it needs to have .... you didn't remove auto lo iface lo iet loopback , did you?

Rouncude is likely not supporting the POP3 [05:16] nickrud: could you just pastebin it to me what the whole thing should be plz ? [05:16] Johnuah: Hmm, you might be right about that. /me looks [05:16] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59347/ [05:16] .. [05:17] Newbuntu2, let me see [05:17] Johnuah: looks like it's IMAP only, yes. [05:18] I still cant seem to get the drivers to work for me.... im using ATI Drivers with AIGLX and i cant seem to get any games to run MMPORG Games like Regnum Online (linux Native) Lastchaos (Wine Emulated) they just flicker in and out on desktop or over the window instead of the window its supposed to be in and leaving it unplayable... [05:18] Newbuntu2, not sure, did you not do that part? [05:18] so, is there any solution which can support both IMAP and POP3? and easy to be deposit [05:18] nickrud: done, thax for being so patient with me [05:18] orudie: all good now? [05:18] Johnuah: courier should do both - never tried it personally, but it's very common. [05:19] nickrud: well how can i just attempt to start the server without having to reinstall it , or should i reinstall it ? [05:19] zero88: no, I'm not sure what it means/what I'm supposed to type. I don't have a command called load_fw_ar5523 [05:19] orudie: sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a should finish the install, and start it up [05:19] Tony: on my opnion, Courier will not work well untill some other server have been added in, do that? [05:20] nickrud, you have any idea about helping meh? [05:20] How can I contact the repo administrators? I am getting an error while I am trying to mirror ubuntu's packages that is preventing me from getting updates. [05:20] Johnuah: say what? courier is modular, so you add the pieces you need (pop3 support and webmail I think are some of the modules) [05:20] nickrud: orudie@ubuntu:/etc/network$ sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a [05:20] dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure [05:20] Newbuntu2, im not sure. not sure what a bootloader is [05:21] RyanRyan52: first, what mirror, second, what error? [05:21] orudie: dpkg-reconfigure [05:21] Black_Magic: I don't use the new ati drivers because they aren't packaged up with ubuntu. I stick with ubuntu packages so I can have a similar system to most users here [05:21] orudie: doh. sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:21] <[dcr]> I never realised how fast linux was until i turned everything down(graphics and such) and now its like 10x faster than being 100x faster than windows already lol [05:21] tonyyarusso: wrong sha1, I tried with open source labs, archive.ubuntu.org, and mirrors.kernel.org [05:21] RyanRyan52: on a particular package / section? [05:22] RyanRyan52: there is an ubuntu-mirrors mailing list, iirc [05:22] nickrud, well i have no idea how to go back....so im stuck with these..i just wantd to test them out to see how they compared to the other drivers if i can fix the OpenGL problem with the flickering and stuff they work really well do the other drivers have AIGLX? if so im switching back that was the main reason i switched to these because they let me have direct rendering and compiz somtimes acts nicer [05:22] Ok, Tony, could you help me to figur out how many modular should I install first . To make the IMAP and POP3 workable [05:22] tonyyarusso: http://pastebin.ca/939316 [05:22] its on those 2 packages [05:23] nickrud: still FAIL, but i think we should do something for the changes of interfaces to take affect [05:23] nickrud, sorry about the long typing flood i just feel like typing to day and its lagging a little because i havent turned the window with the game down and its kinda stuck im opening gnome-system monitor so i can fix it wel...if you fidn anyone that can help me please check [05:23] thanks [05:23] hey guys, i had this 'glowing' effect around my windows, but after changin the them, i seemed to have lost it [05:23] is there away to get it back [05:23] RyanRyan52: probably better to contact the package maintainer in that case.

[05:26] Johnuah: I'm guessing you want courier-base courier-doc courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-maildrop courier-mta courier-mta-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-ssl courier-webadmin sqwebmail (the -doc package will give you better info) [05:26] Black_Magic: it matches the running kernel, using that makes sure you get the right packages for the kernel you are using [05:26] Black_Magic: if you run uname -r in a terminal, you'll see what it fills out the name with [05:26] nickrud: did that, all went ok MySQL is working, however now my forum from my website is gone [05:27] nickrud, Oh ok why reinstall new kernal and moduels? would that maybe fix my sometimes internet problem? since it reinstalls moduels? and kernal?

Usually by booting to an image. [05:49] xb3rt: Oh. No, I have no idea. [05:50] Flannel,...i was lost at MoBo...

[06:24] Hi, how do i uninstall a video card driver? (one i installed from the nvidia website) [06:25] murlidhar_: That's probably the best place to go.

It works really well: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [06:27] Flannel: the crappy thing is i bought it from a direct download [06:28] xb3rt: I have no idea what that means. Wine is still the best method though. You might be able to get additional wine support (to resolve whatever direct download issues you have) in #winehq [06:28] I've got an ATI card and fglrx installed, but i keep getting errors to the effect that there's no direct rendering device. What does that mean? [06:29] Flannel: it just means that i dont actually have the game, I paid to download the install file, but that should still work in wine [06:29] xb3rt: that's correct. [06:31] Flannel: i just changed my user login name, and now my sudo password doesnt work.....how do i go about fixing that [06:32] /etc/passwd ? [06:32] xb3rt: type 'groups' are you in the admin group? [06:33] xb3rt: and how did you change your login? [06:33] Flannel, got it. it is in the repos but the version is 0.10 .

Just regular file transfers? [06:46] but i would like to install GUI based ftpserver [06:47] any one can guide me step by step how to install [06:47] Lap_Top: A GUI based ftp server?

It takes away all need for any configuration, and is also secure, not transferring in plaintext [06:48] That is, SCP as an alternative to FTP. not "SCP over FTP" [06:49] Flannel: can we talk private [06:49] ubuntu wont install anything for me because it say (for everything that I try to install) that it is not compatable with my hardware. But I just have a run of the mill x86 rig. What could be wrong? Im not able to get updates either [06:49] i m newbie for ubuntu [06:49] Lap_Top: Thats fine, you can talk here.

[06:50] can u please guide me step by step and help me download and install and configure it [06:51] Lap_Top: do you actually need FTP? or do you just need some way of transferring files betwen two computers? [06:51] murlidhar- thx for the response, but I have restarted a couple of times, and its still the same problem [06:51] Flannel : actualy i want other ppl to access my ftp server by sitting any where on the world [06:51] was your cd labelled 386 [06:51] Lap_Top: Ah, so you want to set up anonymous FTP? [06:51] or 686 === Eztlixochitl is now known as xipietotec [06:52] no i want to creat user name as well [06:52] i hav not install any ftpserver on my ubuntu yet [06:52] and a passwrd protection too?

[06:54] ty [06:54] what is it [06:54] murlidhar- I dont know anything about the alternate cd [06:54] j/j gobolinux [06:54] !alternate | arquebus [06:54] arquebus: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [06:54] garh. [06:54] what is the difference between 386 and 686? [06:55] 686 is higher [06:55] hmm,we all call then x86 [06:55] flannel: there is one more problem i m facing when i used windows xp my internet browsing was faster and download speed was too fast and when i switched on ubuntu the speed is down what the reason [06:55] them [06:55] and 300 more [06:55] hi all, is there a command to remove a drive from a running ubuntu system? [06:55] I just forgot what Usenet client program Ubuntu recommends to use. [06:55] it's completely unmounted laready [06:55] already* [06:55] murlidhar- I dont think there is any reason for me to use a special install cd, my computer is pretty normal [06:56] crshman, so what mean remove [06:56] it's in a sata array [06:56] i mean physically remove the drive [06:56] and tell the kernel it's gone [06:56] <[dcr]> ER, if its unmounted, just take it out I believe crshman [06:56] <[dcr]> Should be good. [06:56] hmm,after you umounted it [06:57] Im using the pidgin messenger client right now and I want to switch to msn messenger, but I dont see any thing in the menus to do that. Anyone know? [06:57] ok well the system didn't crash.....but one thing i do notice.... [06:57] crshman, you mean to tell the machine to power the bus down for a hot swap? [06:57] well i'm not going to be swapping it....i'm just removing it [06:57] but i suppose [06:58] arquebus, you dont really switch... you run both at once [06:58] <[dcr]> arquebus: I use "emesene" for My MSN messaging needs. Its got alot of nice features and almost a grand port of Windows Live Messenger to Linux :3 [06:58] aufs is not supporting the livecd of kernel 22 [06:58] ok thx Waffles, but I dont even see anything for me to choose msn messenger with, where do I select that? [06:58] arquebus, Ive heard emesene is alot nicer than pidgin but I don't use MSN at all... but to add an account go up to Accounts, Manage [06:58] when the system queries all the disks or does a search for them (say the partition/disk list in webmin) it takes MUCH longer than it did when the drive was in there [06:58] I use amsn [06:58] which leads me to believe it's hanging up on the missing drive [06:59] crshman, hdparm has some related options, sdparm (not installed by default) may be useful [06:59] ok, so i have a ogg video file and a song i made and i want to stitch them together, what program should i use for this purpose? [06:59] it's got a windows port too, I just punted the official client entirely [06:59] <[dcr]> I tried aMSN but i find it no where near as good as emesene in my opinion >.> [06:59] arquebus, then click Add and there is a drop down box with MSN in it [06:59] <[dcr]> But hey, thats just me xD [06:59] ah ok thanks cwillu [06:59] crshman, if something was still using the block device, it could break something [06:59] I'll have to try emesene then [06:59] (i.e., the /dev/sd*, as opposed to the mount point) [06:59] <[dcr]> You should :3 Also check out its plugins, theres so many and their all really good :3 [06:59] ah [06:59] how do i find out if something is? [06:59] dcr- Im unable to install anything on ubuntu right now because it says everything I try to install is uncomptable with my hardware (if you can help with that problem also Id appreciate it) [06:59] programs should do everything they need to do out of the box, I hate having to hunt down plugins. [06:59] lsof might show something; what are you doing exactly? [07:00] thx Waffles [07:00] might just wreak havoc on the kernel module's perception of reality as well :p [07:00] haha [07:00] i have a raid 5 of 6 drives [07:00] an single sata os drive [07:00] <[dcr]> Javid: thats the thing, it has everything already, than it has its own menu for plugins, you just tick which ones you want to use. :) [07:00] and this drive that i'm pulling out [07:00] i want to yank it without dropping the system [07:00] what raid chipset? [07:00] aufs is not supporting the livecd of kernel 22 [07:00] SW raid [07:01] oh ok [07:01] built in controller? [07:01] i have no sound [07:01] 4 ports on the builtin, and 4 on a pci card [07:01] do the controllers support hotswap? [07:02] as far as i understand yes [07:02] [dcr], emesene is not in apt :[ [07:02] anyone?... [07:02] they usually need to be notified that your planning on it if they're not a full raid card [07:02] ah [07:02] <[dcr]> Javid: its not, but google it and you'll get the software source links to add so it will be :) === meridian is now known as captine [07:02] crshman, kinda like how you probably wouldn't try to unplug your agp card while the system is running [07:03] true true [07:03] it's hung now you said? [07:03] ok so i suppose the question is....who do i tell and how =) [07:04] hey guys, anybody know anything about iptables? [07:04] thew00, I know a little [07:04] what are you looking for? [07:04] it seems like i blocked all internet stuff [07:04] and i wanted to know how to clear the ip table [07:04] as in let every connection flow through [07:04] try sudo iptables -f [07:05] what does sudo mean? [07:05] hold on, i have to get on my desktop rlly quick [07:05] sudo = root [07:05] yeah [07:05] ok [07:05] lets you run commands as root from other users [07:05] crshman, this is out of date (no mention of sata), but includes 'this may just fry your hardware' style warnings: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Software-RAID-HOWTO-4.html :p [07:05] is sudo japanesse [07:05] and what is the command -f for? [07:05] yeah i saw that =D [07:05] Flush [07:05] it deletes all the rules [07:05] format [07:05] i think flush didnt work [07:05] you can do iptables -L to get all your rules [07:05] Hello everyone ... i need some Codec player for MP2 ... anyone know how i can get that ?! [07:06] but hold on [07:06] okay [07:06] i have to boot up my desktop [07:06] for inet [07:06] uh, for iptables [07:06] crshman, lvm? [07:06] aufs is not supporting the livecd of kernel 22 , before compressing , i checked the aufs ,it is there & getting load with kernel , but if i boot with live cd there is no aufs [07:06] i'm just removing a single drive....so it was just formatted with ext3 [07:06] and life2atreus, i think sudo relates to the command su [07:06] crshman, but it was part of a raid? [07:07] negative [07:07] x_, Synaptic is your friend ;D [07:07] x_ open Synaptic and type mp2, or mp2 codec [07:07] Or install Mplayer ..:) [07:08] Thurinal ya but what's the full terminal command ?! [07:08] x_, not sure if it handles it, but i'm a big fan of VLC [07:08] x_, you could do apt-cache search mp2 [07:08] see what that brings up [07:08] x_ sudo apt-cache search mp3 [07:08] Waffles385 VLC can't play that .. i tried [07:09] or .. you could always use Synaptic in X =) [07:09] crshman, may just be that the kernel module is confused now; it's possible to reload it, but tricky if you're using it (for other drives) [07:09] Hi all [07:09] yeah [07:09] well [07:09] everytime i try to ping my router, it says Operation not Permitted [07:09] How do I enable compix on XFCE? [07:09] i popped in the drive again [07:09] x_, it looks like theres an MPEG Audio Layer 2 encoding library.... libtwolame0... i dont know if it will do what youre looking for but you might try it [07:09] and all is back to normal [07:09] lol [07:10] but i'm going to try that little trick they have on that page =P [07:10] thew00, can you run iptables -L? [07:10] that falls under 'things I wouldn't do' :) [07:10] hahaha [07:10] well it's not a critical drive... [07:10] it has a SMART reported error [07:10] waffles, it seems like it cleared [07:10] (hence the removal) [07:10] Can anyone tell me how to enable compiz/desktop effects on XFCE? [07:10] Waffles385 i think so , that sould be audio codec player ... lets try that .... what's the command line ?! [07:11] thew00, a basic question but are you connected? physically and DCHP or however youre obtaining the IP? [07:11] x_, try aptitude show libtwolame0 [07:11] that'll show you info about it [07:11] if you want to install [07:11] yes, i am connected, dhcp [07:11] sudo aptitude install libtwolame0 [07:12] partyppl [07:12] Ust want to say have an real good day in the Linux World all, never give up [07:12] I dont even see where to change the fonts on XFCE [07:12] what files does firestarter manipulate besides the iptables? [07:12] thew00, I don't really have too much experience, but if you think it's a problem with iptables try sudo iptables -L to see what rules you have [07:12] if you want use pastebin and we can look at it maybe someone could help [07:12] Can anyone tell me how to enable compiz/desktop effects on XFCE? [07:12] Waffles385 it says the codec is not installed [07:13] before we try anything else, could you tell me what files firestarter manipulates if you know that? [07:13] i had it installed and deinstalled it yesterday [07:13] but the setting seem to still be there [07:13] I've got no idea, don't know what firestarter is [07:14] so, the "dell AIO 922" still doesn't work on ubuntu? [07:14] firestarter is as far as i know a gui for the iptables, but i think it might have manipulated some other files [07:14] often mistaken as a firewall [07:14] aufs is not supporting the livecd of kernel 22 , before compressing , i checked the aufs ,it is there & getting load with kernel , but if i boot with live cd there is no aufs [07:14] thew00, sorry man, I dont know enough [07:14] its cool, thx for your help tho :) [07:14] I know some iptables, but not firestarter [07:15] x_, did you run the sudo aptitude install libtwolame0? [07:15] have you read the great great tutorial on iptables thew00? [07:15] Good luck thew00 [07:15] thew00: firestarter is a front end to iptables [07:15] tmadsen, i was looking to find some help on IRC before i read through that [07:15] Waffles385 yeah .. but still can't play the audio :-( [07:15] it seems a little bit too long for me at 3 in the morning [07:16] Flannel Please Guide Me Is This GUI Based [07:16] sudo apt-get install vsftpd [07:16] ok, it's nice though ... and if you look at the examples in the back you'll get the hang of it I'm sure [07:16] well, ok [07:16] morning peeps [07:16] Lap_Top, why install me?

[07:37] !sudo | Begasus [07:37] Begasus: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [07:37] that I know [07:38] Begasus: Have you enabled root account? [07:38] Begasus: best never log in as root [07:38] default install so nothing fancy yet [07:38] can anyone help me? [07:38] maybe installing oidentd may solve this problem [07:38] loged in as user [07:38] Begasus: I recommend you to take a look at security risks before doing so, but su won't work until you enable root account. [07:38] Begasus: You can use sudo to run administrative tasks and tasks with administrative rights. [07:38] and Begasus logging into root on IRC is madness, frankly [07:38] I k cain's option woked [07:39] 'sudo cd' doesn't work [07:39] yeah [07:39] Begasus: dont need sudo for cd [07:39] Begasus: Just do cd [07:39] I'm almost always loged in IRC [07:39] ^ [07:39] Begasus [07:39] use sudo su [07:39] no rights to go into the mountpoint [07:40] derbenjamin: bad idea [07:40] you have to use "sudo su" not the "su" to become root [07:40] bazhang: why? [07:40] anyway what is he trying to do? [07:41] can anyone help me with my package-system-problem? [07:41] derbenjamin: bad idea to do it; especially bad to recommend that others do it as you have no idea what he is trying to do [07:41] waini: it says to attempt a reinstall before removing it [07:41] <- says sorry and shuts up [07:41] bazhang, going through the page tmadsen showed me earlier [07:41] how do i set the default aspect ratio for VLC Media Player to 16:10? [07:42] and need to be root for that [07:42] Begasus: you should sudo and not sudo su [07:42] bazhang: I guess once he's been advised that it can be dangerous, there is no reason for keeping information secret... This is free/open source, right? [07:42] mactimes not about secret; about giving poor advice [07:42] been using linux longer then today so I know that using su isn't a good idea if not needed [07:43] bazhang: Ok, check this out [07:43] i do not want to reinstall [07:43] i want to removeit [07:43] merlink [07:43] waini reinstall the package not ubuntu [07:44] Begasus: Ok, enabling root account or doing sudo su IS one of the most risky (I mean DEADLY RISKY) things you can do, unless you know VERY VERY well what you're doing. [07:44] trying to set user rights to a mounted volume [07:45] Begasus: Once that has been said, at your own risk, what you asked is: 1st enable root account: sudo passwd root [07:45] Begasus: Go ahead and su. Enjoy it moderately :) [07:46] I apreciate your comments mactimes ... and one can't be told enough to use it with good sense ;) [07:46] Begasus: I would also recommend you DISABLING root account once you're done, like this: sudo passwd root -l [07:47] exit after sudo su also works [07:47] Can someone help me with Youtube videos [07:47] has anybody here installed Eve Online using Wine? nobody seems to be home in #winehq [07:47] I cant do full screen the lil full screen window [07:47] comes up small..

The board has onboard analog (headphone jacks) and digital (coax) on the back. The analog jacks output sound no problem but I can't seem to get the coax to output anything - what can I try to troubleshoot? [07:48] Begasus: I'm sry but was afk. Instead of switching to su account, can't you just put sudo in front of the chown command? [07:48] or did you already try that? [07:48] tincantipper: did you check the wine appdb? [07:49] fds [07:49] that works for chown tmadsen ... not for changing directory [07:49] bazhang: yes. it's runnable, but I get an error when I try to install it saying that I have to be an admin to install it [07:49] Black_Magic: in firefox or downloaded? I use Miro for that [07:49] seems that one needs to set the rights inside the mounted point [07:49] tincantipper: then put sudo in front of the command [07:50] aha, you've tried it outside the dir with sudo? [07:50] it shouldn't be so hard though ... [07:50] bazhang, Firefox if i like click another window while Youtube Fullscreen is there and it goes away..

[08:09] jscinoz that card may be standard but obviously it did not come with a linux distribution === icesword is now known as vsftpd [08:10] jscinoz otherwise the wireless card would be working at N speeds although that is currently impossible [08:10] any ideas for my package-problem?

[08:15] yep, hardy [08:16] taks may as well run ##windows as insecure as that is ;] [08:16] taks,you could just add gksu/sudo in front of any command you want to run [08:16] #ubuntu+1 bmz [08:17] Hi all. Is there a window for me to vew my processes? "killall xfwm4" so im thinking it might be another version i have installed so i want a list of my processes [08:17] taks, why do you want to run your entire session as root? [08:17] Well right now I am in class VII , I have worked with windows, now i m switching to Linux, and whenever I want to install anything new it ask for root password, [08:17] does anyone here play UrbanTerror [08:17] lancerocke: in terminal type top [08:18] taks not root but sudo [08:18] hey where can i see a list of new features that will be in hardy hering?

If you ran your session as root it'd be like windows where you are administrator by default (and thus why viruses propgate so easily and do so much damage) [08:21] Can anyone help me? [08:21] taks, yes, you still need sudo before each command, but it shouldnt ask for password again if its only a short time after the last sudo use [08:21] taks, the same applies for gksu [08:22] hmm everyone in ubuntu+1 seems asleep [08:22] @jscinoz, thank bro, got a good help from you. thanks for your patients [08:22] how to translate in that traslation project [08:22] glick it will pick up later [08:22] speaking sleep [08:22] I've set up printing via lpr and recently I'm getting extra summary pages printed after each job listing user,host,class,job.

How do I find out what window manager is running and shut it off? [08:50] ati 8100... so far it worked on the default driver, so i downloaded the updated driver from ati... [08:50] sfter restarting, gnome said it cant start the driver [08:50] bazhang: so i can run openbox [08:50] and that it will use the low graphics mode [08:50] so it was ok, but 256 colors [08:51] lancerocke: aye; I see the tutorial let me check something [08:51] after a few more attempts, it accepted the graphics card [08:51] but the screen is garbled [08:51] so id like to reset it back [08:51] or at least start it in low graphics mode [08:51] bazhang: ok [08:52] so my question is just how to start gnome in low graphcs mode [08:52] or x...

[08:54] k brb [08:54] ameznaric: Why did gnome say it can't start the driver? Switch to antoher terminal, like Ctrl+Alt+F1 and do: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure the correct driver is listed. [08:54] loa: any thoughts on that? [08:55] bazhang: danny@danny-desktop:~$ killall xfdesktop [08:55] danny@danny-desktop:~$ [08:55] ameznaric: If it is, you can try replacing it with the old driver name [08:55] bazhang: danny@danny-desktop:~$ killall xfdesktop [08:55] danny@danny-desktop:~$ openbox [08:55] Openbox-Message: A window manager is already running on screen 0 [08:55] danny@danny-desktop:~$ [08:55] lancerocke: then openbox & exit [08:55] <_[Shadow_Angel]_> Âñåì ïðèâåä [08:56] ameznaric: But first, find what driver is list, let's say it's called ATI, switch to yet another terminal Ctrl+Alt+F2 and type: sudo modprobe ATI or whatever the name of the driver is. Do this only if you haven't restarted your computer since installing the new driver [08:56] lancerocke: I have to head out for a bit; certainly the other fine folks here can help you (when they wake up ;] ) I will try to help later if you need === Verichip__ is now known as Verichip [08:57] bazhang: ok [08:57] hi there [08:57] lancerocke: I saw this link for you info: http://www.osnews.com/story/18248/Openbox_Window_Manager_Grows_up [08:57] Relaed: Haven't seen that before, Did the problem occur within windows also? It it occurred in both OSes it may still be hardware, even if the outs are separate something tells the PC to switch the active port and that part may be broken, it does seem unlikely that it just happened out of no where though.

[09:02] alanbshepard70, Relaed, I don't know if its the answer, I'm not on ubuntu at the minute, I've just seen that suggested as an answer in similar cases of sound coming out of both headphone and speakers [09:02] alanbshepard70, yeah, I will never buy Korean stuff again if it were a hardware problem, lol [09:03] quakky: from the terminal $ sudo [09:03] Hello people i'm running linux ubuntu 7.10 and i want to config my video and have some program like " movie maker " for Linux ubuntu 7.10 ? can somebody help me PLEASE ?

[09:04] Relaed: I had the same problem on my HP notebook. I have an intel card and the secret was adding an option for my card in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [09:04] Relaed: Take the make and model of your sound card, and use that to search the forums to see what kind of option you need to add to that file.

I wouldnt ask unless i had spent some time trying to figure it out myself === mahkmud is now known as xoRock [09:10] sCOTTo: I would advise that you report an error message that you encountered when you tired to restore your system yourself. [09:10] tried [09:10] sCOTTo: your filesharing worked before?! [09:11] I've never really got samba filesharing to do anything much useful at all on my ubuntu installs [09:11] osfameron: to a degree yes - i could browse other machines on my network before... [09:11] lancerocke: you can run "ps -e " and the "kill -9 " [09:11] osfameron: define 'useful' [09:11] bullgard4: i dont know HOW to restore the system [09:13] ArthurArchnix, Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [09:13] yea I had a lot of trouble with samba also... [09:13] ArthurArchnix, that's my audio device. [09:13] * sCOTTo liked this article.... http://potchery.blogspot.com/ [09:14] The big problem with samba on Ubuntu is that it doesn't share your ~ by default and that you have to manually smbpasswd -a your account [09:14] sCOTTo: If it is that bad then I advise that you save your /home directory's contents and set up Ubuntu anew. [09:14] hmm... well, I've got an ICH7, so this may not work for you. The good news is if it doesn't work it simply doesn't work. It's easy to revert changes. [09:14] bullgard4: I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW I GOT about RESETTING THE NETWORK CONFIG TO THE ORIGINAL STATE - IS there a program that can help me / GUI :) ??

[09:17] bullgard4: yes network manager is on my system [09:17] i dont know if i used it [09:17] lancerocke: I mean first you run "ps -e" to find the PID(the left most number) of the program you want to kill [09:17] ArthurArchnix: Nothing - danny@danny-desktop:~/Desktop/openbox-3.4.6.1$ ps | grep xfwm [09:17] danny@danny-desktop:~/Desktop/openbox-3.4.6.1$ [09:18] are you sure its running then? Why not just move on to step two [09:18] lancerocke: the "kill -9 " to kill the program [09:18] lancerocke: you want to kill a program right? [09:19] mmmiiikkkeee: yes [09:19] mmmiiikkkeee: whatever window manager is running - http://pastebin.com/m7251dd42 [09:19] lancerocke: If you followed the directions you pasted, it would have killed your WM then replaced it with openbox. Have you checked to see if openbox is already running? [09:19] sCOTTo: You could try to de-install network manager and then re-install Network Manager. If after reinstalling Network Manager you network access is still broken, then you will see error messages in either a Gnome terminal or in dmesg. Please report these error messages here. [09:19] your [09:19] ArthurArchnix: I i dont know how to do that [09:20] lancerocke: compiz is your window manager [09:20] bullgard4: how do i uninstall networ manager [09:20] ?

[09:20] ArthurArchnix: so i cant run compiz with openbox? [09:20] compiz is a window manager. openbox is a window manager. [09:20] sCOTTo: Look it up in Synaptic. [09:21] can I use gtkrc to use different iconsets for certain application? e.g. evolution use tango and thunar use mac iconset. will include work? [09:21] ArthurArchnix, it didn't work. [09:21] Relaed: Bummer. You remember that bug report lnk you pasted [09:21] bullgard4: do i do a REINSTALL or uninstall and then reinstall ? [09:21] ArthurArchnix, yes [09:22] Relaed: If you scroll down you'll see what options other people have tried. Try those as well. Even though they didn't work for them, they might work for you. This is where knowing what command restarts alsa is useful, since without that command restarts are required after each change to alsa-base [09:22] any ideas? [09:22] ArthurArchnix: ok i did killall compiz ; openbox & exit and now - http://pastebin.com/m48206aa0 [09:23] ArthurArchnix, thanks for helping me, and it's time for dinner now. Have a nice day.

You desktop must look messed up. [09:24] ArthurArchnix, I'll keep on looking for the solution. [09:24] ArthurArchnix: my desktop looks normal [09:24] sCOTTo: i.) Look up 'network-manager' in Synaptic. ii.) Highlight it. iii.) Click on it. iv.) Choose: "Fully remove" After you fully removed it: v.) Install network-manager. [09:24] thanks [09:24] i fixed my sound prob!!!! [09:24] Is there a border around your irc client? [09:25] ArthurArchnix: might emerald be my window manager? [09:25] lancerocke: Dunno, anyway know the instructions say "Now you must log out and log back in. When you go to log out, make sure you check the box that says "Save session for future login" or something like that. When you log back in, XFCE will use Openbox." [09:25] now* [09:26] lancerocke: if you kill 'X' it shoudl kill what ever window manager you are running also..: "kill -9 26150", but i think killing gdm should also work; do you want to kill just the window manager or all of 'X' [09:26] mmmiiikkkeee: This is what he's doing http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:XFCE/Openbox [09:26] can I use gtkrc to use different iconsets for certain application? e.g. evolution use tango and thunar use mac iconset. will include work?

[09:53] to save a file in vi press "Esc :wq" [09:53] can anyone tell me howto update from an earliert version to the new one [09:53] i have gotten a new video card its a nvidia geforce 5500 and i can not boot ubuntu up with it, im on ubuntu right now but im on a onboard video card anyone got any ideas? [09:53] do i only have to change the sources.list [09:53] quakky: my 3rd hour i think in total .. btw check out compfiz .. it really looks good .. ofcourse do it after your gfx card starts working [09:53] to the newest version? [09:53] pcormac: what does vi do? i write Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf in the file but when i close it its not saved [09:54] techt0nix: doing as you say .. will let u know as soon as it finishes [09:54] bullgard4: i tried them through network from the menu... *feeling like i might have done it wrong...* [09:54] anyone know how to stop my audio crackling i have via 8235 audio [09:54] sureshot you need to press Esc and then :wq [09:54] PLACES---> [09:54] Linux_Freasher should be about a 700mb file [09:54] Hi [09:54] sCOTTo: What menu? [09:54] sureshot :wq tells vi the write to the file and quit [09:54] Wat nick does Jono use on IRC these days? [09:55] Any one know how to resume an torrent download in ubuntu native torrent program? [09:55] i have tryed almost everything i know to get my video card to work can somene please help me? [09:55] zod_, just reopen the torrent and pick the same location should work [09:55] bullgard4: in the top gnome menu it has Applications --- Places---- System................... I used PLACES [09:55] zod_, it'll verify the existing data, and then continue [09:55] techt0nix: ok, but do i really need KDE ? i mean gnome is similar right ? btw i am trying to install this theme --> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GNUtoon%2BUbuntoon?content=70206 [09:55] i keep escape pressen in or then type that? [09:56] pressed [09:56] eh im quite new to ubuntu Linux world what is the name of the program? [09:56] sureshot do you see -INSERT- or -REPLACE- at the bottom left of the terminal? [09:56] hi, anyone experienced with suspend? having troubles setting it up on my notebook ... [09:56] Linux_freher kde is more of a make it yourself theme [09:56] Linux_fresher* [09:57] pcormack: no only see the end of the text in the file [09:57] techt0nix: oh .. then its not for me yet .. i cant yet make anything for me unless i learn some basic things in linux like installing a pre-given program .. editing/making/customizing would come after 1 week depending on how good i understand the OS [09:58] Linux_Fresher: gonna give my pc a restart see what happens.. [09:58] can anyone help me set up apache in ubuntu? i have php5 working fine, but when i try and access "http://myip/apache2-default/" i get the forbidden page [09:58] quakky: good luck [09:58] hello! my hard drive is getting smaller every second by *mb .... logging something and I cant find where and what .... any help?? [09:58] techt0nix: did u see the weblink i pasted ? [09:58] bullgard4: ? [09:59] sCOTTo: Ah, yes I see. (But I did not understand your topology fully.) Did you install Samba on your laptop? [10:00] bullgard4: no... was i meant to - i thought it would have been standard.... i played with it a bit... and couldnt get it working.... so i killed it - then talked to you and then i uninstalled what you told me to [10:00] sCOTTo: You have got 3 computers in a LAN. One is 'faithtop'. One is 'kristop'. What is the name of the third? [10:00] techt0nix: here it goes ---> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GNUtoon%2BUbuntoon?content=70206 at the bottom, i downloaded the second file .. not the gnu one, the ubuntoon one i got [10:00] walla: and what about http://myip/ [10:00] ? [10:00] Linux_Fresher: from the readme file it says you can just copy the Ubuntoon dir to the ~/.icons directory [10:00] bullgard4: the other is 'SERVER' [10:00] and it is a server 2003 install [10:00] walla: or respectively http://localhost [10:00] unbelieve: Logs can't be generated that quick, plus a default ubuntu install has something called logrotate that prevents logs from growing beyond a certain size. It's more likely something is being copied onto your system. [10:00] ? [10:00] any one know to setup dual wan router using ubuntu? [10:01] mmmiiikkkeee: ya but it also says OR i can go to system-->appearance and click install .. i want to do it that way .. right now i cant seem to find the icon folder it talks about [10:01] sCOTTo: sCOTTo All three are in one LAN. Is this correct? [10:01] yes [10:01] nerim.fr [10:01] all in workgroup called FAITHCOM [10:01] bullgard4: all in workgroup called FAITHCOM [10:01] can someone please help me with my video card [10:02] ubuntu tells me it has the driver [10:02] sCOTTo: 'SERVER' uses an Windows operating system? [10:02] but i still cant boot ubuntu up with it [10:02] bullgard4: ys it uses windows server 2003 [10:02] is it any mediacenter for Ubuntu 7.10? [10:02] Linux_Fresher: the icon foldre is hidden; all folder starting with a '.' are hidden. i think "control h" will show you the hidden folders [10:02] quakky: did it work ? [10:03] Linux_Fresher: nope... [10:03] Linux_Fresher: I tried a command which redid and redetected everything [10:03] Linux_Fresher: however that didnt seem to work.. [10:03] mmmiiikkkeee: yes, but please .. rather than moving stuff without understanding, i am trying to figure out the basic gui methods in linux .. so i really want to try it the second way [10:04] Linux_Fresher: i cant believe it only took me an hour to mess up linux [10:04] sureshot then just type :wq! [10:04] quakky: well, it will surely be solved in here when some pro turns up here .. right now its a bit too early .. from my time, i will say 2 hrs from now [10:04] quakky: did it get messed up after u installed the restricted driver ? [10:04] Guys how to add new wigets to my desktop like net stats or hd usage [10:05] Linux_Fresher: well I downloaded the drivers from Nvidia's website [10:05] quakky: btw dont give up .. i had given up on linux 3 times before because i could not drop the 'windows mentality' .. this time i am giving it a go as if it was my first OS of life [10:05] Linux_Fresher: but it was working before [10:05] ArthurArchnix: probably the iptables.. but I did check all logs thay seems to be fine.. How can grep out files by size? then I`ll see wich files are growing.. the speed is unbelieveble.... 300mb left of... [10:05] sCOTTo: I understand that your Ubuntu laptop computer 'faithtop' does not have the Samba server and client packages installed. You will need to install them. [10:05] quakky: hmm .. there must be something that you have told the system or downloaded before and after .. it cant auto mess up [10:06] hi, once again could someone advice me on setting up suspend2ram / suspend2disk? [10:06] Linux_Fresher: sorry, I don't use gnome; but from what i read i thin you need to unzip the file(and not untar it) then specify the the .tar file for the gui program? [10:06] quakky: u downloaded directly through nvidia site or used some ubuntu update button and ubuntu got it from nvidia site ? [10:06] bullgard4: how do i do that quick? [10:06] mmmiiikkkeee: okies, now thats a good info , so basically unzip and untar are different things in linux ? i thought it was just decompressing .. [10:07] Linux_Fresher:this is wat i did..installed ubuntu, installed updates, downloaded nvidia stuff from repo, enabled restricted drivers, downloaded and installed the drivers from nvidia's website... [10:07] i guess i installed 2 sets of drivers? [10:07] quakky: and it got messed up after the reboot right ? [10:07] slt a tous [10:07] well it got messed up whne i tried the 'gdm' start command [10:08] bullgard4: can you list any EXTRA packages i would or would NOT install from samba - there are a lot there in synaptics [10:08] so when ppls use ubuntu ure dual boot or ust use Linux as main os? [10:08] bullgard4: is there a good gui i would use for control ? [10:08] Linux_Fresher: they are seperate things; tar take a group of folders and files and puts them all together as one file(but does NOT compress them); the .bz2 mean the the 'tar-ed' file was then compressed [10:08] it worked now ty pcormack [10:09] i keep getting issues from alot of my programs saying something is already listening on the port they need tor....azureus, ktorrent etc whats going on here. any ideas? [10:09] Hi people. I did a "dd if=/dev/hda of=disk.img" from my hard disk. This disk contains one primary partition and one logical parititon. I can repartition this file with fdisk. But is there also a way to mkfs.etx3 one of the parititions in the image file? [10:09] quakky: hmm .. never heard about gdm command , but mine was messed up after the restricted driver reboot .. then was fixed using some command that was told to me here .. but i think u r not too far off from the solution [10:09] mmmiiikkkeee: ooooh .. ok .. [10:09] Linux_Fresher: i think i should just uninstall everything (gotta figure out how) and try reinstalling stuff [10:09] bullgard4: ok now i go to install it... its already there - my apologise [10:09] Linux_Fresher: I was thinking you might need to just unzip, but not untar the file; the README file says to use the tar file [10:10] Linux_Fresher: its just a guess, I am not sure [10:10] is it any major problems to use Linux as main os? [10:10] quakky: naw, i would hold on .. lets face it , we know nothing of linux yet .. not even the dir command [ which is ls in linux ] .. we cant yet poke around in here like we did in windows without atleast some basic knowledge [10:10] sCOTTo: According to my experiences you will need the packages samba, samba-common, samba-dbg, samba-doc, samba-doc-pdf. [10:11] anybody knows howto grep files out by size? [10:11] Linux_Fresher: hehe ya i guess...alright then ..im off to sleep ...6 am and gotta work in 4 hours .. [10:11] no one knows how to see what clogging my ports? [10:11] mmmiiikkkeee: ok when i double click on the tar.bz3 archive, it opens up like winzip .. so how to extract the content as a tar file and not as a full folder with subfolders in it ? [10:11] quakky: dont worry at all and have a nice sleep .. usually all issues get solved in here for sure [10:11] sCOTTo: I do not understand your question: "is there a good gui i would use for control ?" Please say it in other words. === ogra_cmpc_ is now known as ogra_cmpc [10:12] hey guys, i klnow you can change the GDM login screen theme throuh the gui manager but can you do it through terminal,. if so how? [10:12] bullgard4: disregard GUI question..... can you tell me the settings i need to get this thing working ? [10:12] sCOTTo: This is tricky. [10:12] hello! my hard drive is getting smaller every second by *mb .... logging something and I cant find where and what .... any help?? [10:12] mmmiiikkkeee: right clicking on the folder in the archive doesnt have untar option, only extract option [10:13] unbelieve I'd reboot, unplug from the net, then use disk usage analyer to locate big files and folders. [10:13] hello, im new here but in short is there any way to undo all the updates ive gotten? [10:13] sCOTTo: Do you understand German? [10:13] bullgard4: not enough to get me by no... [10:14] unbelieve: Chances are though that you accidentally copied and pasted something in the background. do ps ax and see what's running [10:14] I have an issue with upgrading my server to Gutsy, I use the "do-release-upgrade" and everything is fine until it will restart the nfs-kernel-server... then it just stalls and nothing happens??? [10:14] ps aux [10:14] i keep getting issues from alot of my programs saying something is already listening on the port they need tor....azureus, ktorrent etc whats going on here. any ideas? if you have none where might i ask ive asked #kubuntu and #tor [10:14] hoola [10:14] Q how to untar a file ? without extracting it ? eg. ubuntoon-2Feb2008.tar.bz2 .. i dont want to extract the containts .. only want to untar it .. eventually it has to look something like Ubuntoon-2Feb2008.tar [ i think ] [10:14] i have a easy ? what does Hotplug mean in ubuntu lol [10:14] hay algien [10:14] Linux_Fresher: I don't know how to do that in a gui; I don't use gnome, so you might want to ask some one else "how to unzip, but not untar" a file in gnome [10:15] mmmiiikkkeee: umm .. wait .. u mean "how to untar but not unzip" right ? [10:15] Linux_Fresher, bunzip2 filename [10:15] ArthurArchnix; thanks dude! will try [10:16] doff: would this work ? i pull the folder out of the archive manager --> so this is decompressing [unzipping] .. may be i can re-pack it to .tar somehow ? [10:16] Linux_Fresher, why not extract then tar? [10:16] bod_: DID IT !! :) [10:17] Linux_Fresher, this should unpack to .tar file [10:17] bod_: but why i have a feeling that i took the longer way around ? [10:17] sCOTTo: /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-ByExample/index.html is the best introduction to your problem. I do not know an English shortcut for that. [10:17] Linux_Fresher: no; I think you want to just unzip it.... its common in linux to see a group of files the were "tared" then "ziped(compressed)". if you just unzip the file you get the "file.tar" part back... [10:18] Linux_Fresher: most gui programs will do both for you to make it easyer on you; they will fisrt unzip then untar the fle [10:18] mmmiiikkkeee: i think i am understanding it now , but can i send u the archive file please so that u can have a look at it ? its very small [10:18] how do you see who is blocking/listing on what port [10:18] is there a reasonably easy way to undo all the updates ive gotten or am i stuck with them? [10:18] mmmiiikkkeee: and trust me please, its not a virus or worm or anything .. i think [10:18] Linux_Fresher, i dont understand,.,. so you have solved the prob? an easy solution would be to right click --> extract here (removing the .tar.bz2) --> then right-click --> archive --> .tar finished [10:18] or just reformat and be done with it? [10:18] mmmiiikkkeee: or i can give u a weblink for it [10:19] or do i need to do a fresh install [10:19] Linux_Fresher: i think you could do what bod_ said... [10:19] bod_: yes, i did it that way .. now i have ubuntoon.tar , ubuntoon folder and Ubuntuoon-2Feb228.tar.bz2 on desktop [10:20] bullgard4: thanks [10:20] Linux_Fresher: now can you install the .tar file in the gui? [10:20] bod_: now next problem ... now when i try to install it through "appearance" the .tar file doesnt show up .. only the Ubuntoon folder and the tar.bz2 show up [10:20] Linux_Fresher, thats fine, the longer filename is just the name of the tarball whereas the tar you made only has the name of the Parent file,. you could rename the new .tar file if you really wanted to [10:21] Linux_Fresher, is this a GTK theme? [10:21] mmmiiikkkeee: i tried to forcefully give it the .tar file by clicking "all files" and choosing it .. now it says invalid format [10:21] Linux_Fresher, why didnt you want it in .tar.bz2 format? [10:21] bod_: i think so .. not very sure .. here is the link to it --> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GNUtoon%2BUbuntoon?content=70206 [10:22] bod_: umm .. i dont know .. if i show the .tar.bz2 format to theme installer, it just says installation failed [10:22] does anyone know how to undo updates? is it possible? is there an easy way? should i just re-install? [10:22] bod_: the directions says to install the "tar" file... [10:22] hey people. Is there a way to boot the ubuntu live cd into a text-only version? No gdm/gnome/Xorg/etc? [10:22] ya .. website says GTK 2.x .. is that what u ment ? [10:23] beltran: reinstall [10:23] lol linux is difficult :( [10:23] beltran: Depends what updates [10:23] can i share files from my xp to ubuntu in some way? [10:23] i want to wipe them all [10:23] Linux yer, its a theme,.,. if it says install failed, did it say why? [10:23] beltran: reinstall [10:23] sureshot: you should be able to read and write ntfs [10:24] ok thanks [10:24] sureshot: yes. ou can access your windows XP parttions directly from ubuntu [10:24] no other message .. just a window which says installation failed [10:24] Linux_Fresher, you moved the tarball to /usr/themes ?? [10:24] benpicco: i have fat32 on this computer i think? [10:24] bod_: nope, its on my desktop [10:24] it can read fat aswell [10:24] ;|) [10:25] sureshot: should be possible too (why would you like to install xp on a fat32 partitio?) [10:25] Linux_Fresher, lemme give it a try on my system then il walk yu through it [10:25] is this the only linux help id like a second opinion [10:25] bod_: thanks .. its some cartoon theme, should go really well with wobbly windows .. so i really want it :) [10:25] penpicco: im not sure if it its fat 32 where can i see that? [10:26] Linux_Fresher, it says it will be default for Edubuntu soon ,.,. ;-) [10:26] bod_: umm.. ok.. i dont have edubuntu i think [10:26] bullgard4: I GOT IT WOOO HOOOO!! [10:27] sCOTTo: Congratulations! [10:27] sCOTT grtz [10:27] Linux_Fresher, hhhmm,. im getting error,.,. il be a few mins [10:27] bullgard4: i used GSAMBAD awesome as well as the thing in the docs you gave me... i changed the security from USER to SHARE [10:27] thanks Linux_Fresher [10:28] Linux_Fresher: did you get that theme to install yet? [10:28] bod_: sure m8 take your time, i will hang back [10:28] ok [10:28] * sCOTTo better go [10:28] legend2440: naw bro, bod_ is giving it a try at his end [10:28] ;-) [10:28] catchayh all! [10:28] THANKYOU ALL SOOO MUCH!! [10:29] benpicco: when i look in workgroup the ubunto doesnt show up..how do i find and transfer files between xp and ubuntu? [10:29] ;) [10:29] sCOTTo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:29] o-kay... [10:29] sureshot: aah,you are taking about network shares? [10:30] yes..im controlling ubuntu with vnc and want to transfer files to the computer that has ubuntu [10:30] Linux_Fresher: go to your home directory and hit ctrl+h [10:30] sureshot: if so, samba is what you are searching for [10:30] HOW CAN I easily change the default 25 port for Postfix to 80, for example...? [10:30] PS: Newbie Linux [10:30] oki whay is that? [10:30] what does folder /home/user/.cache/tracker anybody? [10:31] Linux_Fresher, works like a charm,.,.,. ok, remove everything to do with gnutoon/ubuntoon from your comp then download the ubuntoon tarball to your desktop and tell me when your at that stage ;-) [10:31] Linux_Fresher: do you see folder called .icons? [10:31] legend2440: yup .. i see many folders starting with . now, someone said they are hidden [10:31] legend2440: yes .. its there [10:31] sureshot: its an open implemantation of windows smb file share service, you you can share files with windows pcs and the other way round [10:31] sureshot: there should be a howto in the wiki [10:31] !samba [10:31] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [10:31] Linux_Fresher: is ubutoon folder inside ? [10:31] legend2440: basically i can move files there but i want to learn the gui things first before i start moving stuff without understanding what i am doing [10:32] legend2440, my way is easier trust me [10:32] legend2440: yes there is ubuntoon folder there [10:32] benpicco. oki ty will look into that [10:32] Linux_Fresher: delete it [10:32] legend2440: 0.o [10:32] oh, lol,.,. [10:33] legend2440: it didnt ask for confirmation .. it just got .. well .. deleted [10:33] what`s for folder /home/user/.cache/tracker anybody? [10:33] Linux_Fresher: then open sysrem >preferences>appearance [10:33] legend2440: ok now retry to install through theme manager ? [10:33] legend2440: ok appearance running [10:33] Linux_Fresher: now point it at the tar.bz2 file [10:34] hello [10:34] unbelieve: It stores information for searching your files [10:34] legend2440: IT WORKED !! "The theme Ubuntoon has been installed" :) [10:34] Linux_Fresher, he means, press the install button ,.,.then point to the tar.bz [10:34] oh [10:34] to late [10:34] weeee !! sweeeet !! thanks bod_ thanks legend2440 .. :) :) [10:35] Linux_Fresher, HAVE FUN,.,. [10:35] Linux_Fresher: the reason it was failing was because you already had ubutoon in .icons folder [10:35] legend2440: can u explain what was going wrong ? [10:35] legend2440, ah,.,. cool,.,. [10:35] legend2440: but in windows it would ask me something like "there is already a folder called xyz .. overwrite / cancel " etc .. no such thing in linux ? [10:35] 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' outputs a line 'N: Name="Sleep Button (CM)"' I take 'CM' as 'Control Method'. My computer does not have a 'Sleep Button'. Can you explain why the kernel still recognizes a 'Sleep button control method' device? [10:35] * bod_ gotta do coursework now ;-( .......... [10:35] ks3: it`s nearly 10gb big? O_o can i delete something from it? [10:36] irc.indymedia.org [10:36] unbelieve: you can delete everything from it if you want, but you'll probably also want to disable tracker from running or else it will get recreated [10:37] ks3: how to desable? [10:37] Linux_Fresher: no i guess theme manager does'nt [10:37] each time i plug in an USB-HDD Lacie 500gb, the HDD spins up and does not appear on Gnome-desktop. fdisk -l tells me that the HDD is there. when i unplug and plug it back again, its recognizzed and the icon appears on the Gnome-desktop: my question: HOW CAN I LET SYSTEM LOAD HDD WITHOUT UNPLUG/PLUG, IS THERE A COMMAND-LINE PROCEDURE? [10:37] unbelieve: System / Preferences / Sessions - uncheck the Tracker item [10:37] ks3: ok thanks! [10:38] legend2440: ah .. but i bet linux could use more of information messages .. i couldnt have figured out why it was not working without your help :) [10:38] huiii: is dmesg telling you that something went wrong? [10:38] benpicco: i'll check [10:38] Linux_Fresher: how do those icons look? [10:38] legend2440: cute and cartoonish [10:38] Linux_Fresher: lol have fun [10:39] legend2440: atm finding some good cartoon wall paper to go well with it :D .. the icons match the wobbly windows .. [10:39] ok last question, i have not found anything on the forums or other linux help places so is there an irc channel for noobs like me to find help? [10:39] !register | BeCkY [10:39] BeCkY: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[10:40] legend2440: so now ok to delete these experimental files on desktop ? Ubuntoon-2Feb2008.tar.bz2, Ubuntoon folder and the Ubuntoon.tar that i made ? [10:40] huiii: any errors? [10:41] Linux_Fresher, yes [10:41] benpicco: no, it looks just fine, [10:41] benpicco: it sees the HDD correctly [10:41] legend2440: and 2nd Q, one more error i think, the Appearance Preferences window wont close .. clicked the lower close button, upper right close X, and upper left menu --> close .. the window wont close [10:41] Linux_Fresher: yes [10:42] Linux_Fresher: it won't close? [10:42] huiii: and canyou mount it manually? [10:42] legend2440: ah figured it out !! the old failed installation window was still there in background .. [10:42] Linux_Fresher: did you try "alt-f4"; and that sounds weird why woudl it not close [10:43] is there any way to check what specific driver a device is using? i'm having problems getting a ralink RT73 card using the linux compat drivers to connect to a WPA/WPA2 access point. Its detecting it, so i figure the card works [10:43] hi anyone know how i can reset my laptop battery? [10:43] recommend me some good linux for dummies and dunce book !! [10:43] Linux_Fresher: ok and yes you can delete the ones on desktop if u want [10:43] How soon is Ubuntu upgrading to Gnome 2.20? [10:43] titon, how do you mean "reset" [10:43] or is there an application that can reset my laptop battery [10:44] Smegzor; 7.10 Gutsy is using Gnome 2.20 [10:44] benpicco: manual mount works fine, but than its not seen as external HDD. i get some permission issues. is there a command-line that lets the system recheck the USB-port and do the same automatic procedure as when we plug in a ext HDD ?? [10:45] Sorry I meant Gnome 2.22 [10:45] well the battery is getting very bad....only got like 30 miin of time out of it.... and while using it on battery ubuntu warns and goes down to 0 % but i can still use it for like 20 min.... i just need the battery to know when its really empty and realy full [10:45] huiii, check /etc/fstab ;) [10:45] titon: what do you mean by reset? [10:45] ok [10:45] ahhh [10:45] Smegzor, never. when hardy comes out, it'll have 2.22, but older versions aren't updated. [10:45] titon: is it a old battery? [10:45] i tried running it till it dies and then recharge but doesnt work [10:46] will it appear in backports? [10:46] bod_: apparently in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom where it says GraphicalTheme=. The theme directory names are in /usr/share/gdm/themes [10:46] design capacity: 4000 mAh [10:46] last full capacity: 368 mAh [10:46] its well 2-3 years old [10:46] did it :) [10:46] titon: how'd you find that? [10:46] titon: i'm sorry but its a result of memory effect. you can't do anything about it [10:46] ActionParsnip: fstab just lists internal HDDs [10:46] ./proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info [10:46] titon: thanks! I was wondering how to find that stuff out [10:46] no biggy hehe [10:47] hallo @all [10:47] lo bolder [10:47] i just thought there was a way to teach the battery when its empty and when its full.... [10:47] its just english here? [10:47] cuz its not empty when the battery thinks it is....there for i thought maybe it says its full when it isnt [10:47] titon: umm for me is says command not found, but I see the info thing right there? any suggestion? [10:48] or dual lang=de [10:48] bolder: english. there's a seperate german chan [10:48] titon: sometimes there's a battery drain option in the bios [10:48] |de [10:48] !de [10:48] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [10:48] ok thx [10:48] !de | bolder [10:48] bolder: please see above [10:48] oops ;p [10:48] thx [10:48] i looked i dont have it in my bios [10:48] when is the hardy beta release?

I've had to replace my battery twice in the past year and a half...

Its detecting it, so i figure the card works, but i can't get it connected even with what i am sure is the right password [10:52] so much for linux standing a chance at competing with windows, or mac for that matter, i guess i know the answer tomy problemas, go back to windows, it works, and updates dont usualy wreck the comp, oh well, good luck you opensource warriors [10:53] hi [10:53] hello, how can aregular user create a file that can only be rm'd by root? [10:53] heyjoe`: chmod 600 file and chown root file should work [10:54] heyjoe`: create that file as root [10:54] i have been downloading a torrent, and reached around 47%, now i just got the same file as a direct link, is it possible to use wget -c to resume that partially downloaded torrent file? [10:54] keiserr: yes, but are torrent files normaly not just around a few kb? [10:55] benpicco: i meant i use torrent to download a file. and now want to resume that file but using another source [10:56] keiserr:so you want to use another torrent for the same file?

[10:56] What do you do with processes that can't be killed, not even with "kill -9"? [10:57] legend2440: yup .. sorry was on other side of the cube :) [10:57] bod_: wb [10:57] patogen: u could do killall [10:57] huiii: It doesn't work [10:57] heyjoe`: it's not possible, unless the user is an admin user, in which case: sudo chown root filename, and sudo chmod 600 filename [10:57] Linux_Fresher, wb? [10:58] patogen: u could also do $sudo kill SIGTERM [10:58] bod_: welcome back :) [10:58] Can you change the selected theme from terminal ? [10:58] Linux_Fresher, ty ;~) [10:58] how do i do a filesystem wide search for a file? === Black_Rook is now known as Black [10:58] huiii: ERROR: garbage process ID "SIGTERM". [10:59] heyjoe`: What's the goal? As long as you have rwx permissions to the directory containing the file, you'll be able to delete it. [10:59] heyjoe`: sudo find / -name filename [10:59] heyjoe`, terminal --> locate nautilus [10:59] heyjoe`, find / -name "" [10:59] i tried find filename but that only looks in the current working directory [10:59] patogen: sorry, here correct command: kill -SIGKILL [10:59] heyjoe`: find /starting/path -name filename [10:59] heyjoe`, locate command is good [10:59] heyjoe`, yeah you need to use / after the find command so it serches from / and below [11:00] heyjoe`: locate is fine also, but it doesn't directly search the drive. it searches a stored index [11:00] patogen: and? [11:00] huiii: Still does not kill it [11:00] can you change selected GDM login screen from terminal? [11:00] hello, I want to see a java applet in a web page but I can not see it. I have Ubuntu 64, can I see java applets in Ubuntu 64? [11:00] patogen: do u know the process id?

[11:00] patogen: what do u want to kill? [11:00] !java " Rudin_ [11:01] Factoid java " rudin_ not found [11:01] huiii, you could use killall processName [11:01] Rudin_, u need to install sun java. It worked for me [11:01] !jave | Rubin [11:01] Factoid jave not found [11:01] prince_jammys, no sorry [11:01] bod_: apparently in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom where it says GraphicalTheme=. The theme directory names are in /usr/share/gdm/themes [11:01] !java [11:01] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [11:01] huiii: Multiple instances of "eject" and I know the process id ... I cannot use "eject" to eject my cd-rom now [11:01] bod_: it seems not to work on his [11:01] thanks all for your help, that is all for today ;) [11:01] bye [11:01] bod_: just a guess, but it seems to be stored in that variable in the configuration file [11:01] Rudin_, just go to synaptics and search for java and install sun java [11:01] patogen, press the button on your drive [11:01] bod_: the login theme, right? [11:01] Rudin_, I have 64bit too and it worked for me [11:02] ActionParsnip: That does not solve the problem, I like being able to use eject. [11:02] patogen: uups, thats something else, i think u should rather reload that instance than kill it, [11:02] huiii: Hmm how do you do that? [11:02] mad_max02: did you install java from Applications --> Add/Remove? [11:03] prince_jammys, yer, know where you can select which login theme with the System--> Admin-> Login Window gui,.,. i need to change the theme with a script, so gui isnt n option [11:03] Hmm sorry lunch ... will check back later [11:03] patogen: i dont know exactly, modprobe? i dont know this, perhaps u have to re-formulate the question and post it here again.... [11:03] patogen, try killing all the eject processes then run another [11:03] patogen, its not something ive used so I'm guessing [11:03] !usb [11:03] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [11:04] !mount [11:04] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [11:04] bod_: then that configuration file is *probably* it. you would have to replace GraphicalTheme=This with the directory name of you login theme (which is in /usr/share/gdm/themes). again, just a guess, but it seems right [11:04] !DiskMounter [11:04] 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 [11:04] why is mono so seldomly updated? 1.2.6 is out there for 3 month now :/ [11:05] prince_jammys, cool, cheers,.,. im guessing its something similiar but what about changing GTK theme? [11:05] Rubin, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall icedtea-java7-plugin [11:05] bod_: i'll look around :) [11:06] benpicco: seldomly updated? you want a new version every week? [11:06] ok, I'll try Act [11:06] ok, I'll try ActionParsnip [11:06] Rubin, http://www.futuredesktop.com/java-plugin-64-bits-ubuntu.html [11:06] Rubin, got it from there [11:06] prince_jammys, ty,,. where are you looking? on your system or asking other people on irc? [11:07] Rubin, dont run sudo gedit like it says though, use kdesu gedit [11:07] Does anyone know a decent program to automatically manage IMAP emails? (filter spam, move emails into subfolders, forward others to another email) [11:07] bod_: the gtk theme appears to be somewhere stored in .gconf folder in you home dir [11:07] bod_: i'm looking in my comp [11:07] ActionParsnip, is that a kubuntu variation on gksudo? [11:07] bod_: the gtk theme has to be in the user's dir [11:07] benpicco: or you meant why the repository version of mono isn't keeping up with all the mono releases? [11:08] Slart: no,but i want a new version in ubuntu -it still uses 1.2.4 [11:08] bod_: maybe there's a default somewhere in /etc [11:08] Slart: yes, i mean, mior releaes of firefox, etc are updatet,too [11:08] benpicco: the whole idea is to decide on one version and use that until the next version of ubuntu comes out.. unless there is something seriously wrong with the version in there.. [11:09] prince_jammys, there seems to be alot of %gconf.xml files in .gconf [11:09] benpicco: makes for a more stable operating system... you know what is in there.. today, tomorrow and next week.. [11:09] hello [11:09] bod_: search for the string of your current theme [11:09] how should i create the swap? As a logical partition or primary? [11:10] prince_what like locate slickness ? [11:10] benpicco: there are other distro's that update continously.. debian does that.. I'm not familiar with the others [11:10] bod_, that too :) [11:10] ?? [11:10] bod_: grep -ri themename . (dot on the end, recursive case insensitive grep) [11:10] bod_, really annoys me when people bandy sudo around. [11:11] Slart: but i wonderwhy some apps ar updated (firefox,kde, etc) and some not [11:11] bod_: you [11:11] * bod_ is sooo confused [11:12] bod_: you're not looking for the theme as filename, but as a string inside of a conf file [11:12] ActionParsnip, i dont fully understand why sudo isnt as good as gksudo for gui apps but owell [11:12] bod_, was just continuing on from the sudo/kdesu etc [11:12] benpicco: someone made a decision to update those.. security reasons might be one thing.. or enough people just scream about it, I guess =) [11:12] bod_: the bot has an article on that [11:13] bod_, its not that its "not as good" its just that it can damage permissions and ownerships very badly and eventually it can make the system not boot [11:13] !gksudo | bod_ [11:13] bod_: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [11:13] prince_jammys, ok, im a bit confused,. my theme is called 'SlicknesS' could you complete the command for me plz ;~) (sorry bout the noobishness) [11:13] hwolff: take a look at procmail.. I've never used it.. but it's been around for a long time [11:13] hwolff: not sure if it handles imap mail on a remote host though [11:13] bod_, to make it easier you can actually use gksudo for everything. job sorted [11:14] well, thanks. I'll try [11:14] prince_jammys, ActionParsnip, ty for the gk info [11:14] bod_: grep -ri slickness ~ (will search for the text "slickness" case-insensitively in every file in your homedir) [11:14] bod_: that'll give you a clue as to what file keeps your theme info [11:16] bod_: seems to be this file:: .gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml -- open it and see [11:16] hi..I have a problem [11:16] ActionParsnip, you could do that easily by creating an alias,. so sudo is an alias for gksudo then whenever sudo is typed gksudo will be incurred === Blou_Aap is now known as help [11:16] i installed ffmpeg from ..... svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg [11:17] prince_jammys, that command filled my terminal with what looks like html code [11:17] but it is not converting mov files...can anyone help me in converting mov files through ffmpeg [11:17] bod_: it's all the matches :) it means you have many files with "slickness" [11:17] bod_: open the file i mentioned, i think that's it [11:17] any one here who can help me with stuff in ubuntu? please wisp, tell [11:18] !anyone | zod_ [11:18] zod_: 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? [11:18] prince_jammys, ok in the file there is parameters set for the GTK theme and the icon set,.,. if i change one, will it change the theme do you reckon? lets try [11:19] zod_: just ask your question in the channel [11:19] is it poseble to use Linux as main os and do what ever u want, + all the stuff the windows does? [11:19] yes [11:19] apart fromtip top gaming [11:19] zod_: well.. you won't be playing halo and crysis in linux.. [11:19] where do I get themes for my slideshow presentations made by oo.o impress? :) [11:19] bod_: you'll have to do some kind of "reset" of gnome, so that the conf file is reread - backup the file first, too. and remeber case sensitivity when it comes to themes [11:20] help me in converting mov files from ffmpeg...as i m unable to convert mov files...anyone suggest me codecs for mov files [11:20] zod_: and running Microsoft Word might be a problem.. but there are alternatives [11:20] ah so i can play windows games in Linux, like oblivion, wow and css and cs 1.6? [11:20] with wine yes zod_ [11:20] well,oblivion maybe not [11:20] zod_: older games might be playable using wine.. oblivion does work.. but it's slow.. really slow [11:20] but the rest should be possble (don#t know about css) [11:21] zod_: wow and cs 1.6 works, afaik [11:21] prince_jammys, il do it in a wee bit then,.,. cant be asked atm,.,. cheers though,.,. [11:21] zod_: you can look in wine's appdb (application database) to see which windows programs run well under wine. [11:21] should maybe explain "wine" there benpicco [11:21] ok, i have a really n00by problem. I accidently changed my wireless connection settings, and now i cannot connect [11:21] zod_: there is also a comercial version,called cedega, makes more games work [11:21] aurehman: use ffmpeg version provided in ubuntu or in the extra medibuntu repository, otherwise we cannot help you [11:21] prince_jammys, ever heard of 'gdmsetup' ?? [11:21] i got wine in tip tip top install, all i have to do is dubble tap an .exe file and it start the install or run auto in Wine [11:21] benpicco: incorrect. [11:21] zod_: you can have a look at http://appdb.winehq.org .. they have gathered info on all games that work in wine [11:21] bod_: isn't that the gui app? [11:21] cool [11:22] magnetron: well,yes,it´s not relatet to the wine project, but they used to use the souced before wine switched to gpl [11:22] can i use rar files on ubuntu? [11:22] dunno,.,. its in the text file you told me about for gdm theme changing [11:22] so as an normal pc user i can still use Linux, and never go back to Win? [11:22] it mentions it [11:22] sureshot: yes.. there is an unrar package [11:22] !rar [11:22] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [11:22] magnetron: plz help me... as i already installed ffmpeg from aptitude..it was converting but audio was not present in converted file [11:22] zod_: yes sir [11:22] zod_: i haven't booted windows in about a year [11:22] zod_: depends on your definition of a "normal PC user" [11:22] aurehman: didn't you say you compiled the SVN version? [11:22] how do I upgrade edgy to the latest? [11:22] magnetron: so I installed from svn [11:23] hi all, I use ubuntu server and want to add an additional partition, but if I use cfdisk I have to restart the machine to see the new generated UUID after the reboot, is there a way without a reboot? [11:23] zod_: I dual boot once a week or so.. to play crysis.. or oblivion [11:23] !upgrade | Skaag [11:23] Skaag: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [11:23] that is ust super great, i will never go back to the Windows world, like the Linux World [11:23] magnetron: yes i did it now... but before it was from aptitude [11:23] thanks Slart [11:23] bod_, if you are mofifying in gedit etc, that is a gui app. sudo is used for commands like apt-get, cp, mv etc [11:24] aurehman: uninstall the svn version and use the version from aptitude. [11:24] Timsen: can't you use gparted? or parted? I don't think a reboot is needed for that [11:24] so how can i get new programs in Linux (i run the Ubuntu 7.10) [11:24] magnetron: but it is not converting audio... my movies don't have audio after conversion [11:24] zod_: using aptidude [11:24] zod_: use synaptic, apt-get or the "Add/Remove" thingy in the applications menu [11:24] Hi everyone ! [11:24] zod_, you can use aptitude or if you find out the name you can use sudo apt-get install [11:24] aurehman: after you have installed the svn version, i can help you with that. [11:24] hi Se1 [11:24] ah great [11:25] !hi | Se1 [11:25] Se1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:25] I have no X server running on this installation [11:25] zod_, eg. sudo apt-get install firefox [11:25] aurehman: you need to listen if i will be able to help you! [11:25] bod_: yep, do gksudo gdmsetup. it's the gui app that you access from the menu [11:25] This morning, my external HD is not automaticaly mounted. What can I do ? [11:25] Slart: i will try parted now on a virtual box first :) thanks for that tip [11:26] Timsen: you're welcome [11:26] !uuid | Timsen [11:26] Timsen: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [11:26] ) [11:27] prince_jammys, i think i found the part of the text file to edit, does this look like the thing to you? -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59366/ [11:28] bod_: yes. you probably can just change GraphicalTheme=NameofDirectoryofTheme (the dirs are in /usr/share/gdm/themes/) [11:29] bod_: tell you what, i'll try it right now just for kicks [11:29] aurehman: after you uninstall the svn version, you'll have no install the medibuntu repositories [11:31] why does medibuntu exist. You can install exactly the same stuff on a standard Ubuntu install. [11:31] magnetron: after i uninstall the svn version.. how can i install the medibuntu repositories.. guide me [11:31] is there any way to undelete file ?? [11:31] !medibuntu > aurehman [11:31] I just deleted 4gb file by mistake [11:31] prince_jammys, yer, heres what im doing (incase your interested) i downloaded a theme from gnome-look cause i dont like orange,.heh,.,. and they listed three or four commands then a trip through the gui app to get the damn thing, then it doesnt feel right because the log in screen is just horrible,. so i thought, if i make a script which uses all there commands plus, enables the theme and changes the background picture of GDM it woul [11:31] d be so much easier and better,.,. so im writing my scripts but wasnt sure of how to do it,.,. so thanks alot,. oh and did it work? [11:32] mad_max02: did you delete in gnome, the graphical interface? in that case, it's in the trashbin [11:32] hey can someone explain to me how to install something that's on subversion (trying to install bleeding edge version of dia) === eth01` is now known as eth01 [11:32] i have a psp wit 1GB memory stick m,ounted, the stick is basically empty but ubuntu says i only have 260 MB free space. Anyone have ideas? [11:32] simon: thee should be a onfigure cript [11:32] magnetron, what file system are you using? [11:32] +onfigure [11:33] benpicco... how can i download the folder? [11:33] julz, check the device from the terminal, I bet theres a .Trash-USERNAME directory withs tuff in it. [11:33] i can browse the folder online, but i can't get it [11:33] julz: i there a hidden .trash folder? [11:33] julz, when using gnomes filemanager, and removeable media be sure to DELETE, not move to trash. [11:33] ActionParsnip: i use ext3, but don't you want to ask that to mad_max02 [11:33] simon: do a svn checkout svn://url-to-whatever bleding_edgge-folder [11:34] thanks [11:34] mad_max02, look for this folder home/mad_max02/.Trash [11:34] benpicco Dr_Willis : i have a .trash-1000 folder, but that is empty, i havent seen a suername one [11:34] I'm positively surprised at how good the between-major-versions upgrade process is in ubuntu ;-) [11:34] magnetron, sorry. im tired [11:34] julz: what does df -h tellyou? [11:34] how do i get permission to extract the zip-file in a directory? [11:34] mad_max02, what file system do you use? [11:34] julz, 1000 is the first users USER ID. odd that its giveing a #. [11:34] Linux_Fresher: are you there? [11:34] sureshot: extract it in your home dir [11:35] julz, delete the dir, look for other stuff on the device I guess. [11:35] How can I install any and all codecs in one easy command? [11:35] oki..but i want it to be under var/www ? [11:35] mad_max02, ext3 recovery http://ubuntumagnet.com/2007/09/recovering-deleted-files-ext3-filesystem [11:36] mad_max02, could just restore from backup. much easier [11:36] Could XEN be any slower on a ubuntu system. [11:36] How can I install any and all codecs in one easy command? [11:36] magnetron: do i have to move the files, cant i extract them to whre i want? [11:36] !w32codecs | lee [11:36] lee: The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages [11:37] Dr_Willis: Fail. I meant all codes. Any available on Linus. [11:37] does anybody have experience with new ati driver? 8.3 [11:37] lee___, there no such thing as ALL codecs.. [11:37] lee___, depends what you need to decode [11:37] sureshot: normal users can only create and change stuff in their home directory and the other folders the admin have given the write acces too [11:37] lee___, theres always new ones comming out.. and some just cant work on linux. [11:37] lee___, there are literally millions of codecs [11:37] magnetron: I am waiting...how can i install the medibuntu repositories.. guide me [11:37] kalkan: I have quiet good experience with it -work fine [11:38] lee___, plus not all programs/players can handle all the codecs. it depends on how they are compiled. [11:38] How can I install all codecs needed to play a .ogg on my computer [11:38] aurehman: read the private message ubotu gave you [11:38] bod_: just tried it. it worked [11:38] Slart: I found the solution, I can create a new partition and partprobe will check without a reboot and informs the kernel about the changes [11:38] lee___, the win32 ones are ok [11:38] lee___, a .ogg can be any of several different codecs. [11:38] Benpicco: df -h says it has 679 megs used up, with 270 free and 948mb total, but the psp says i have around 530 megs free [11:38] benpicco i found it slower than 7.2 [11:38] Dr_Willis: I've installed assloads of them, and I still cant play .oggs that I record [11:38] the w32codec pack will get you to play 90% of all the video files ive ever found. [11:38] And yet, others can [11:38] magnetron: is it possible to get the same adminrights as root? [11:39] prince_jammys, gdm and gtk? [11:39] Guys I actually think i got my video drivers working, however i cant turn on visual effects.. [11:39] sureshot: yes, using the sudo command [11:39] !sudo | sureshot [11:39] sureshot: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [11:39] lee___, thats interesting. [11:39] julz: have you heked every folder on the drive? konqueror has a nice mode to show how much spacce what takes [11:39] is there any way to check what specific driver a device is using? i'm having problems getting a ralink RT73 card using the linux compat drivers to connect to a WPA/WPA2 access point. Its detecting it, so i figure the card works, but i can't get it connected even with what i am sure is the right password [11:39] lee___, Amarok uses xine so you need plugins for xine. try installing libxine1-plugins and libxine1-ffmpeg and it should then be able to play everything [11:39] bod_: just gdm. i changed the value of "GraphicalTheme=" and "GraphicalThemes=" (for some reason i have two) and restarted gdm [11:39] Dr_Willis: I recorded it, no player would play it, put it on-line, I can't play it but others can. [11:40] faileas: is it wpa or wpa2? [11:40] lee___, thats.. really interesting. what did you record it with? [11:40] magnetron. so if i want to have the files under the server katalogue how do i do? [11:40] from where can i download irc client for ubuntu 7.04 ? and which is the best? [11:40] bod_: i had it on something else and i changed to "Human" [11:40] benpicco: yeah i have, i think it must be ubuntu though, cos the psp is telling me there's lots of space [11:40] firefow zoom is slow, i dont know why, maybe i sould change a CPU? [11:40] Dr_Willis: I've used both Istanbul and recordmydesktop [11:40] magnetron: my router is fine with either. both don't work [11:40] sureshot: did you read the link about sudo? [11:40] or the ati driver? [11:40] lee___, got a link to one of the ogg's ? [11:41] prince_jammys, wow, cheers dude,.,. thanks alot,.,.so in my script i will make a backup of Human then change the picture in the originall Human then set as Human,.,. how do i edit a text file with a script? [11:41] magnetron: its a RT73 based adaptor [11:41] magnetron: yes i saw that but not sure how it works though [11:41] Dr_Willis: http://fractal.cluenet.org/~lee/out.ogg [11:41] sureshot: it's well explained there. [11:42] lee___, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/multimedia/libogg.html (install with sudo apt-get install libogg) [11:42] bod_: you know the background gdm image is stored in the theme folder itself. look around in /usr/share/gdm/themes [11:42] anyone here who is using a laptop with a synaptics touchpad and hacked it via syndaemon? === RameEz is now known as Ramiz [11:42] !anyone | unicum [11:42] magnetron:oki ty i will look more then [11:42] unicum: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[11:42] ActionParsnip: E: Couldn't find package libogg [11:43] prince_jammys, im not really sure what you mean? === eth01` is now known as eth01 [11:43] Ramiz: use applications > add/remove . look in the internet category [11:43] Ramiz: xchat, konversation and irssi are very got imo - yust use apt-get [11:43] bod_: you want to change the background image for gdm, right? [11:43] yes [11:43] okay.. i just hacked my touchpad using "shm config > on" and session-option "syndaemon -t -d" now the pad is automatically off while typing. this is cool, though i'd like this option to handle "strg" and "alt" and stuff as different keys for use in shortcuts... [11:43] lee___: apt-cache search ogg | grep -i codec [11:43] lee___, Hmm . It plays here. :) goofy. [11:43] == speex [11:43] benpicco: yeah it's ubuntu alright, ps says the disc is clean, 978 megs free. can you reccoment something else to transfer stuff to it, cos i can't pput on more than 270 megs with gnome [11:44] prince_jammys, but i dont know what theme there gonna be using ?

[11:46] Dr_Willis, surely instead of outputting to the screen it can output to a file [11:46] Dr_Willis, check recordmydesktop [11:46] bod_: i'll be back, coffee break [11:46] prince_jammys, you download a gtk theme, you run my script -> that enables the gtk theme and sets a gdm login picture of my choice as default,.,. so it changes there theme and login screen [11:46] lee___: apt-get install libtheora0 [11:46] ActionParsnip: I used recordmydesktop, it records but not plays [11:46] !info recordmydesktop [11:46] recordmydesktop: Captures audio-video data of a linux desktop session.

[12:02] endo602, tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall glftpd [12:02] bod_: i'm back. yeah, what you want to do is doable, but the gdm background change is a bit tricky. you'd have to temporarily move their current background file and replace it with yours. then you would need an undo script, should they want the pic to be the way it was [12:02] Dr_Willis: I installed it because I was trying to fix my visual effects not working [12:02] i need to install a driver (which needs compiling) on a ubuntu system with neither net or a cd rom drive. would it work to compile it on another system with the same kernel, and use checkinstall to make it a package?

[12:03] bod_: another way would be to copy their existing gdm theme, replacing the background and save it as a new gdm theme. then change the theme to yours [12:03] endo602, what errors do you get with it? [12:03] FN'ActionParsnip no such pkg [12:03] the errors I am getting is I cant login via pftp localhost [12:04] prince_jammys, omg,.lol,.,. listen carefully,.,. changing the picture is the easy part,.,.

[12:07] prince_jammys, whats with the slashes? [12:07] Dr_Willis: gotta figure out how..thanks [12:07] quakky, i forget the command to do that from the terminal. 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xfreeSOMTHING' [12:07] i never can rember the command [12:07] prince_jammys, ah I see, my mistake for stepping in without checking the conversation from beginning! :) [12:07] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ??

[12:39] Dr_Willis: i am on failsafe gnome..i can only logon using that..and my desktop effects are disabled [12:39] elbermungsterses: sounds like the server timed out have you tried again? [12:39] i have tried at least 5 times, bazhang. [12:39] crackhead: i had the similar issue the installation of obex directly from the one given in the gui synaptic din work maybe the packacge is screwed.so googled n found it in some site [12:40] package [12:40] i can ask about whatever i want about Linux here? [12:40] rules? [12:40] quakky, you could try making a new user, see if you can login to gnome with them normally. if they can. then its some setting the first user has setup thats causing the issues [12:40] scorpian: that doesn't make sense. the packages are md5 checksummed. they are all the same. [12:41] when i want to update my system through update manager i get error W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263 [12:41] scorpian: do you have any other suggestions for fixes or possible solutions?

[12:42] quakky, well some how you got totally off the track with the xgl stuff. What is your exact video card anyway? [12:42] What does 'HID' mean in http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mochel/patches/acpi/driver-model/0086-acpi-button-Add-fixed-feature-button-HIDs.txt? [12:42] prashant you have added a third party repository, to verify that you trust them all packages need to be signed. it is your opinion if you trust them or not [12:42] Dr_Willis: 8600gt [12:43] quakky, all i normally do is run the restricted-driver tool and let it install/modify the stuff. [12:43] xjohnthomaskx: well it worked for me thrice..on diff laptops...i dunno ...itz jus a protocol...i tot they were diff y else it wud work [12:43] elbermungsterses: anything odd in your sources list? seems that might be causing your problems [12:43] on my pc [12:43] quakky, right now you may have the effects enabled, on user #1. and you need to disable them. [12:43] is it allowed to ask about hacking here? [12:43] dns53, what i hav to do [12:43] zod_, hacking is such a over-blown term. [12:43] zod_: nay [12:45] Dr_Willis: I go to system>Preferences>appearance , and wen i go there the effects are disabled..I cant even enable them anyways ...tahts what i was trying to fix in the first place...and im the only user that ive set up [12:45] zod_: I prefer a steel pickaxe with long handles, it's a fine mix of price and durability, and you can use a lot of force when you're hacking. [12:45] quakky, try making a 2nd user. see if it works for them. [12:46] no, bazhang, even the security respitory is failing. i think there is a problem with bzip2. [12:46] Dr_Willis: ok [12:46] quakky, i dont use the effects at all. so i cant help much there. [12:46] elbermungsterses: would you mind pastebining your sources list? [12:46] prashant: it is saying they have not signed the packages so it opens up the possibility that someone could potentially mess with the package as it is being downloaded. it is a warning that you are ignoring the normal security that exists. you cannot fix it as it is the source you are getting it from has not done the signing [12:46] okay, bazhang. [12:47] Dr_Willis: well as of this point, i dont want to use em..i just wanna be able to log on without me having to select fail safe mode...im going to try to make a 2nd user..brb [12:47] qui parle francais [12:48] dns53, thanxxxxxx [12:48] quakky, make a user as a TEST to see if it works for the new user.. if it works for a new user. then its your original USERS settings that are the issue.. if it fails for both, you have some other system configuration iussue [12:48] Qui parle francais ?

[12:49] Pici: how ? [12:49] audiosensecd_: sudo apt-get install eggdrop [12:50] elbermungsterses: you know how to do that? the easiest way is to install pastebinit then cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit and then it gives a url you can paste here [12:50] Pici: thx [12:50] bazhang, i think it is my ISP's problem. you see, i am currently living in china and signed up for a crappy internet service that censors and displays ads all the time. the servers go down often too. [12:50] but, i'll pastebin anyways. [12:50] Pici: must be root or not? [12:51] audiosensecd_, sudo -> is doin things as root. :) [12:51] audiosensecd_: Well sudo will give you access to install that, but you'd need to be in the admin group [12:51] anyone here using ubuntu on a macbook (native not vm)? i'm interested in the battery durability... is ubuntu power management doing a good job? [12:51] audiosensecd_, if you are not the admin., you may need to install the bot from source, for just your user. [12:52] unicum, I'm on an iBook :) [12:52] CoSinecure will do too, how is it compared to the battery-run time of os x?? [12:53] k [12:53] Dr_Willis: alright i created another user, and logging into ubuntu doesnt work for that user either [12:53] anybody know much about http?

[12:55] LOGAN: April [12:55] any one got some good games for linux they want to send to me? or got the apt-get command for them? [12:55] Dr_Willis: failsafe works, as u can see...if it hadnt id be back on windows xp erasing the ubuntu partition... [12:55] Dr_Willis: :) [12:55] it has eductional stuff on it and I would like to run a vmware image that allows the user to tinker with linux [12:55] elbermungsterses you could remove the edgy-security, the rest looks ok [12:56] preferably a lamp server with php, perl and all goodies [12:56] quakky, i dont even know whats different from failsafe gnome and normal gnome... [12:56] no one got the apt-get command for any good linux games? [12:56] elbermungsterses: you might try commenting out lines 33 and 34 and see if that helps--there are a ton of backports and proposed that might be difficult to reach from China--not sure if that would be afffecting your download or not [12:56] has anyone done this? [12:56] zod_, apt-get install same-gnome :D [12:56] its simple, but for some reason I love it [12:56] zod_, theres 1000' of games.. depends on what you like.. go get 'rocksndiamonds' it will keep you busy for weeks.

[13:04] !tutorial [13:04] Factoid tutorial not found [13:04] is there any equivalent to MS Groove that also runs in Ubuntu? It must also run in Windows, and sync at least calendar, files, and make chat available [13:04] quakky, Hmm.. I dont even have a gnome-failsafe session... [13:05] Dr_Willis: didnt u say u were using ubuntu 8 alpha 6? [13:05] Dr_Willis: could be the reason [13:05] when is the new ubuntu realised? [13:05] quakky, yep - might be.. but i got a laptop with the older.. i dont recall it there. [13:05] Xamusk: no, none I've ever heard of. [13:05] quakky, I did recall that when i installed openbox, it setup a 'openbox-gnome' session :) [13:06] quakky, the more i use gnome.. the more i like kde to be honest with ya. [13:06] the kde is harder then gnome? [13:06] zod_: They're just different. [13:06] zod_, nope. [13:06] zod just dive in [13:06] thats the joy of linux. you could have 100 window managers intgalled if you wanted. [13:06] ah i like the gnome best, think kde ist that great, yet [13:06] and i got about 10 installed right now. [13:07] Dr_Willis: I have no freaking clue as to what gnome and kde are..or wat the difference is..or anything about them...when i read gnome i think of the WoW gnomes lol [13:07] zod_, how can you make such a statement? have you even used kde much? [13:07] kde is amazing, gnome is amazing. just preferance [13:07] gnome can be very frustrating :) [13:07] well i did try kde once, but that was in year 2001 [13:07] i agree but so can kde [13:07] but normally its all my fault [13:08] I used KDE for years, but now prefer Gnome [13:08] quakky, gnome and kde are the 2 main desktops.. if you want to try out the kde desktop do a 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' then logiut and select kde from the session menu on the LOGIN screen. [13:08] kde looks like win, gnome is more likeble for me [13:08] quakky, you could 'sudo apt-get install openbox' also - and have a openbox, and openbox-gnome desktop also. [13:08] ha, dont say it looks like win [13:08] everything looks like everything else, like win. :) ya got icons and windows.. and a button for programs.. big deal. :) [13:09] Dr_Willis: btw speaking of installing drivers...u ever heard of G15 keyboards working properly with ubuntu? [13:09] it looks nothing like vista [13:09] or xp [13:09] quakky, i got my g15 working with lcd clock, and function keys. :) wait for the next release of ubuntu/kubuntu - they got the proper packages allready made up. [13:09] well kde is good so is Gnome, but i prefer gnome over kde, that is ust me [13:10] kde has better default applications [13:10] er irc.icq.net [13:10] ah [13:10] rwe [13:10] rgrtut [13:11] pop [13:11] op [13:11] okp [13:11] Speaking of gnome.. I set up a video where it defaults to gmplayer in gnome. ( .ogm i think) but when i open the video. it fails because gmplayer is getting the filename/path as 'file://path/to/file/but%2spaces%2get%converted/video.ogm' [13:11] u can play dvd in VLC player? [13:11] ive got NO idea how to even make it tellit a proper path/name. :) [13:11] anyone know how to fix the firestarter gui.....it crashes randombly [13:12] randomly* [13:12] i then end up just drag/dropping the file into the then running gmplayer program/window. :( [13:12] at least once or twice a day [13:12] and i have to have it running....it wont forward port properly if its not [13:14] I need an Thunderbird extension, which creates an toolbar button, that moves an Email to [13:14] an specific folder. Any advice? [13:14] prince_jammys: can you write me again the line of "sed" ?

[13:17] Dr_Willis: have a good night [13:17] :) [13:18] Dr_Willis: s/woman/women/ [13:18] quakky, or that message may not help. :) i just read it.. it basicially says 'i dontknow why it broke' heh. but there may be other forum posts on it. [13:18] quakky, aha! uninstall that package you intalled earlier. the xgl one [13:19] Dr_Willis: but dont i ..hmm ya ill try that [13:19] how to create a blue window in terminal ? [13:19] as far as i know you do not need xgl with the nvidia cardsd at all. [13:19] there's another command which is equivalent to the command dialog [13:19] well got to go all, tnx for an interesting day all [13:19] nullcode, xterm -bg darkblue -fg hotpink [13:19] no [13:19] i didn't mean that [13:20] nullcode, :) [13:20] it's a command just ilke dialog [13:20] dont like hotpink? heh [13:20] I though the command was dialog. [13:20] Dr_Willis: ya i think so too..but that damn installer was complaining about something.....let me try uninstalling [13:20] yes [13:20] but there's an equivalent to dialog [13:20] what is it ? [13:20] xdialog ? [13:20] no [13:20] I recall seeing some alternatives to dialog over the years. [13:20] the word dialog isn't in the command :( [13:21] i just discovered it but i can't find in my history [13:21] nullcode zenity? [13:21] hi, can anyone help me get my bluetooth working?? i can see my motorola phone, but i can't get it to connect. i've tried all the directions on the bluetoothsetup page and other help pages i've found..

[13:24] Dr_Willis: k i uninstalled..lets see if it works :D [13:24] Dr_Willis: brb [13:24] D3f0: updates you mean? [13:24] obrigado [13:24] xjhonthomasx:try googlin for it online .deb pckg for the latest what laptop [13:24] ? [13:25] jrib, packages in general [13:25] god dang it worked haha [13:25] xjhonthomasx:installed bluez na [13:25] quakky, There ya go.. logical thinking worked. :) [13:26] Dr_Willis: install, uninstall...seems simple now [13:26] Dr_Willis :D [13:26] quakky, xgl does somthing special i think. I never used it. so i dont know what. but its normally needed for ati cards. [13:26] jrib, something like "hey, take this packages list and install it", but in a unattended way, sice it must be done over 20 machines [13:27] jrib, sshing each one is tedious [13:27] D3f0, without ssh? there are commands that can do ssh commands on a batch of machines. [13:27] Dr_Willis: im drooling though for some eye catching desktop environment..u know to justify my work on ubuntu so far lol [13:27] but without ssh.. well. that makes it harder. [13:27] quakky, eyecandy causes ocular cavaties. [13:28] Dr_Willis, well, ssh is OK, but manual ssh is not [13:28] Dr_Willis: haha [13:28] D3f0: the issue I see is if a package requires you to answer questions during install [13:29] quakky, it seems the xgl package goofs up a link for the nvidia drivers. If you reinstalled the nvidia drivers that should of also fixed the problem. [13:29] well, but there are --yes options [13:29] Dr_Willis all these youtube videos of spinning cubes and transparent stuff...mmmmmm...one day i shall have that [13:30] quakky, the cube is one of the most useless things ive ever seen. :) [13:30] quakky, try to enable the effects now? [13:30] that card should be able to do them. but it may be some quirk with the nvidia drivers and that card. [13:31] Dr_Willis: well..if the wife walks in when ur doing 'special' work, that cube can save u a few hours of argument lol... jk [13:31] D3f0: I suppose if the machines are identical and you verify it does not cause problems on one that would work [13:32] Dr_Willis: im still not able to enable the visuals [13:32] quakky, thats why i now get all my wallpaper from the National Geographic web site or the nasa picture of the day site === mick_home__ is now known as mick_home [13:33] jrib, machines are very similar, they need gcc, manpages, and other various dev tools [13:33] Dr_Willis: i wanna point out that in my restricted drivers window, I c 2 components...1 called Lucent/agere linmodem controller driver (not in use) and the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards) in use [13:33] they fetch packages through an apt-proxy [13:34] Dr_Willis: shouldnt there be only 1? [13:34] Hi, can someone here help me getting identd server to work on Gutsy? I still get ~ in some networks, tried pidentd, and oidentd, the latter doesn`t even start (Error spawning core). [13:35] D3f0: so then the other detail is if you do write a script that SSHs into one of the machines how do you make it so that you do not need to enter your password (otherwise you'll need to enter your password twenty times) [13:36] quakky, like it says.. One is for your modem. :) [13:36] jrib, I could do some python code, and would use RSA keys instead of passwords, but I have this feeling that there's something out there for this purely administrative task [13:36] quakky, amazing helpfull eh? if ya dont use the modem dont worry about it. [13:37] Dr_Willis: well..i forgot to mention..this wasnt there before the thing hit the fan [13:37] quakky, its possible thjeres some DRI/GLX issue with the driver/card versions. The next release of ubuntu is due out in a month. with updated drivers. That may fix some things. [13:37] quakky, also if you havent done a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' yet. it may update some packages that fixes the issue. [13:38] hey guys.. i need help.. my scroll wheel doesn't work when it comes to switching workspaces.. any thoughts?? [13:38] well night all [13:39] D3f0: yeah, there probably is.

[13:41] D3f0: here's a blog post talking about it (I haven't read through it): http://blog.hjksolutions.com/articles/2007/07/27/unattended-package-installation-with-debian-and-ubuntu [13:43] MindSpark: startx -- :1 & [13:43] MindSpark: or use gdmflexiserver [13:44] jrib, thanks [13:44] jrib, startx -- :1 works fine, but does it work without -- ? [13:45] hey guys does any one know how to configure screen so it doesn't give you the visual bell in the terminal? [13:45] it is really annoying [13:45] MindSpark: I never tried [13:45] use terminal preferences [13:46] vbabiy-laptop: vbell off [13:46] jrib, gdmflexiserver just started the screen saver [13:46] jrib: where would i enter this [13:46] vbabiy-laptop: ~/.screencr [13:46] jrib: thanks [13:46] vbabiy-laptop: ~/.screencr if you want it to work [13:46] vbabiy-laptop: ~/.screenrc if you want it to work [13:46] * jrib fails [13:46] jrib: lol [13:47] * genii hands jrib a large coffee [13:47] can someone tell me how to set a user account to autologin using ubuntu server, i.e. no X [13:47] Why can't I boot the live cd? [13:47] jrib: also you know how to fix it so when you close it vi it refresh the terminal window so it doesn't have vi text above [13:47] I installed feisty from live cd on this same computer and I remember I had some problems then too. [13:48] MindSpark: gdmflexiserver -l next time, otherwise it will lock your current screen. But now that you did that, you should still be able to hit ctrl-alt-f9 and get to a new login window (you need to read manpages when someone just gives you a command :)) [13:48] And is there any bootfloppy? That might work. [13:48] k [13:49] Why can't I boot the live cd? [13:49] Lartza_: well, you're probably doing something wrong [13:50] jrib: any Idea about that? [13:50] Lartza_, what error messages/problems do you have [13:50] vbabiy-laptop: no, I don't know how to do that [13:50] dgjones: by not boot, i was assuming he didnj't even get a menu. [13:50] jrib: thanks for you help [13:50] IndyGunFreak: I put the cd in. It searches floppy... Not Found. Then it searches cd pretty long... Not Found. Then it boots the IDE-0 [13:50] Same thing with both drives. [13:51] Lartza_: sounds like your burning th edisk wrong [13:51] Lartza_: can you set your BIOS to search the CD drive first? [13:51] I think it worked earlier when I used the more slow burninddrive [13:51] Lartza_, sounds like either the bios isn't set to boot from cd, or as IndyGunFreak suggests its a bad burn [13:51] D3f0: so seems like puppet is the kind of thing you want right? [13:51] jrib, yeap [13:51] Lartza_: well, burn speed can effect the burn... [13:52] IndyGunFreak: Yes I can and the Feisty CD booted earlier(Year ago) and these cd's are free from ShipIt [13:52] and my burind drive is 16x, but that doesn't matter in this situation [13:52] Lartza_: just because they were free and shipped to you, doesn't mean they were burned properly. I've had issues w/ shipit cds, and burned my own and they worked fine [13:53] But it worked earlier. It mgiht been same problem earlier. (CD not first) [13:53] I reboot and try that. If I don't come back soon then it's solved [13:53] Lartza_: well, then change your CD to be first. [13:53] duh [13:53] Thanks [13:54] Hello [13:54] can anyone help with autologin question?

[14:12] legend2440: i m converting files to flv [14:12] apt-cache stats [14:12] jrib, i expect that is because of the difference between a meta package and a normal package [14:13] Hello..

[14:29] Jaapjan2: at your own risk :) if you need something that isn't provided, that may be the way to go about doing it, you're correct :) === soroush is now known as soroush83 [14:29] amazing, this channel is not flooded with thousands of people asking for help [14:29] hello everybody, i need help with my partitions... may someone help me? [14:30] the amazing part is there are thousands of people here, most of whom don't talk... [14:30] Hi [14:30] kalatian: What is at my own risk? Envy isn't provided by default, the restricted driver manager is .. and Envy installs the same driver if all is right. [14:30] QUESTION: If things go wrong in a server install or when installing from the alternate CD... What is the command to restart the configuration dialogue(s)? [14:30] when I click let's say firefox....the page is not displayed properly...and where it says application/ firefox/email that does not show at all and if so...half page...etc.. [14:30] Jaapjan2: if you want the driver that comes with Ubuntu, you should use the restricted manager and not envy [14:30] if you want a newer one, you are left to your own devices === threefcata is now known as wobushibendan [14:31] kalatian: The driver is for Nasra. I use Envy. But I think for someone who has installed linux the first time, like Nasra, the manager is easier then dealing with repositories. [14:31] doing my transition from windows....(having this problem already.) help will be appreciated.. [14:31] Nasra: I'd try the nvidia driver first and see if that controls your display better. [14:32] I can't see the text on the conole with CTRL-ALT-f1... I can see a blinking cursor and I can enter commands blindly. Anybody know why this might happen? [14:32] ok... [14:32] So I'm confused: why not just use the restricted manager to install the driver? [14:32] kalatian: That is what I am arguing on doing. You brought envy up. [14:32] the man for parted doesnt help with this small issue, my command is: SUDO PARTED /dev/sdg MKPART PRIMARY EXT3 ... then I get asked what my START and END points are ... but I just want to tell him ALL, MAXIMUM SIZE .. how can I do that? [14:33] Jaapjan2: sorry, I think there was just a misunderstanding -- I agree completely, [14:33] restricted manager is the way to go [14:33] kalatian: Great :D Solved. [14:33] (sorry for the confusion) === wobushibendan is now known as everywhere [14:34] kalatian: 't is alright. Now to see if it benefits Nasra.

Try to summarize what you just explained on one line and ask again in a few minutes [14:57] Jafet, I am assuming NTFS. [14:57] hi [14:57] when i execute the commend [14:57] any clue ? [14:57] !enter | meridian, andre80 [14:57] meridian, andre80: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:57] ok [14:58] andre80: what is the path to the directory? [14:58] BB88, you probably need separate NTFS drivers. Never tried, but look into linux-ntfs etc. [14:58] andre80: The filesystem you are trying to write on is read only perhaps? [14:58] my question is: i cannot write to a folder which i have group permission on it, i cant even do a touch on it. I m using gutsy [14:58] jrib: i already postet in in the forum 4 months ago, but no answer, it seemsnot much people using this feature [14:58] Jafet, If it is not that, any other ideas? [14:58] what is the best supported video card on ubuntu (preferably some of the newer ones)? [14:58] schamane: problem is i connect remotely over ssh (putty) then tunnel through to the vnc that i setup using an xinetd service called Xvnc so that i can log into the gdm. however connection is over broadband and it seems to be slow even when i set graphics options on the client to lower color depth. at some point i get kicked off and can't get back on for at least 4+ hours. i can't log in to ssh terminal etc... i don't have to reboot se [14:58] just starts to work again i assume it's because some service or cron job is resetting things. [14:59] legend2440: unfortunately the problem is still same... [14:59] it tells me: "ifup: interface wlan0 already configured" [14:59] BB88, your partition could be unrecognized or borked. Check if gparted knows what it is... [14:59] darn. i missed a comment in my scrollback. [14:59] legend2440: mov are not converting... all in vain [14:59] I have an old packard bell ir sensor that connects to a serial port and accepts commands from a remote and would allow me to move the mouse and simulate keystrokes. Does anyone know of a way to use the above with ubuntu? Is there anything available that does that sort of thing? [14:59] why might volume groups disappear when upgrading from 6.1 to 7.0.4 using do-release-upgrade? [14:59] aurehman_: error message? [14:59] kthakore: It depends on who you ask. I'd say Nvidia if you want halfway decent 3d performance too. [14:59] jditto: ssh doesnt work after you get kicked? [14:59] schamane: correct [15:00] JaapJan: i can write to it when i have the user permission on it. for example i can write a folder belongs to andre:andre , but not to a nobody:andre which i belong to andre:andre [15:00] hm, sounds like an network problem [15:00] Schamane_: checked bugs.ubuntu.com as well? [15:00] Jafet, I am new to Ubuntu, I have no idea what you mean! :D [15:00] Jaapjan2, how about the nvidia 8600 XFX gt? [15:00] Should work fine. [15:00] jrib: yeah [15:00] not yet but i have more imfo [15:00] With the driver from Envy or the restricted driver. [15:00] Jaapjan2, no stupid ati crap?

But I have had trouble with it since .. well .. a long time. [15:01] jditto: can you try an /etc/init.d/network restart after getting kicked? or cant you go to the computer [15:01] Jafet, Yes, GParted confirms it as NTFS and has an exclamation mark on it? [15:01] Anyone using Orca? I have it hang while trying to display the magnifying window (compiz disabled). [15:01] Jaapjan2, are there any benchmarks for different nvidia cards on ubuntu? [15:01] BB88, probably doesn't have Vista support yet then. [15:01] Does Vista use a new NTFS? [15:02] kthakore: Generally you can use the windows benchmarks and simply subtract x% in performance. The relative performance should be the same since they're unified drivers, mostly. [15:02] Jafet, Not entirely sure. Anyway to access the files and drag them over or anything? [15:02] schamane: no i can't get to computer it's at my clients office. i set this up so that i could manage remotely. but the only time i can get to server is during normal business hours and sometimes that can be difficult.

See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [15:03] jditto: i would do an cronjob wich run all 10 minutes in restarting connection [15:03] an after you get kicked [15:03] Jaapjan2, x% ? [15:03] wait ten minutes [15:03] legend2440: you there... did u see the error message... the format is unknow for ffmpeg [15:03] kthakore: Yes, x percent. Unknown amount. [15:03] BB88, dunno. Check if any NTFS drivers support Vista NTFS. [15:03] if it works again you have your fault [15:03] but no solution :( [15:03] aurehman_: here is aprogram that is supposed to convert mov to flv. i have never tried it so i don't know http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=652843 [15:03] PriceChild, what the Darfur?

[15:05] schamane: thank-you [15:05] later. [15:05] kthakore: No no! Don't quote me but I'd say 10-20% [15:05] Jaapjan2, oh thats fine [15:05] Jafet, ah well that worked.

[15:14] how do i mount a filesystem that's on a volume group if something happened to the volume group and it's "not there" anymore? [15:15] hello. I have a pc with ubuntu and a mac jaguar trying to connect through a wired network, but no success so far. Can anybody help me? [15:15] nasamo: Have you activated windows sharing on your mac? [15:16] Jaapjan2, yes [15:16] nasamo: And networking from the menu doesn't show anything, I presume, on Ubuntu? [15:16] how can I execute some thing right after I connect to some machine via ssh? [15:16] Jaapjan2, it seems to be a password problem, but I'm not sure [15:16] nasamo: Directly connect the two machines or trough an Access Point? [15:17] Is there a timezone for US/Central? tzselect won't let me set it, and America/Monterrey (which I had been using) is no longer correct after daylight savings flipped. [15:18] zoli2k, how do I connect trough an access point? [15:18] Jaapjan2, methinks the answer is if you modify the machine you are connecting to like adding some starting program to sessions or adding a link to startup of windows [15:18] drwxrwsrwx - what does the s stand for? [15:18] ItchyHobo: Pardon? I do not have any problem? [15:18] Jaapjan2, I can see my mac trough FTP [15:19] Jaapjan2, ah sorry it was kane 77 [15:19] I ran "apt-get remove mediawiki mediawiki-math" but still see files in /var/lib/mediawiki1.7 on Ubuntu server 6.06. How do I actually remove the packages? [15:19] irvken: setgid (see man chmod) [15:19] kane77, methinks the answer is if you modify the machine you are connecting to like adding some starting program to sessions or adding a link to startup of windows [15:19] kane77, so whenever you login the program executes [15:20] ItchyHobo, yes, but how do I do that? [15:20] can someone help with my keyboard? i have to hold a key down for 3secs for it to register [15:20] legend2440: do u know some codecs which are supported in ffmpeg... and which can help mov to flv conversion [15:20] init6: you probably need to purge [15:20] kthakore: thx for the suggestion. It looks like it uses the same port for line in and the mic. Other than that it looks great.. [15:20] aurehman_: no sorry i don't never tried that [15:20] jrib, Thanks. I tried "apt-get remove --purge mediawiki mediawiki-math" and that did not delete the files either. [15:21] kane77, see after you connect to the machine and have admin rights on it you can do pretty much anything you wan to do with it.. like adding programs that run automatically when u login [15:21] ItchyHobo, well yeah, but where do I put the script? [15:21] init6: try "autoremove". You need to get rid of the dependencies as well. This is easier to do with aptitude in my opinion === Scientus_ is now known as Scientus [15:22] kane77: Add it to .bash_login [15:22] Jaapjan2, thanx [15:22] i need help [15:22] kane77, in the sessions settings i guess system>preferences>sessions, [15:22] jrib: Why can't I play any .ogg that I record, but I can play others, and others can play mine?

[15:23] Jack_Sparrow:wohaaa thx alot jack hope dat more peeps u can help [15:24] ok thx [15:24] ItchyHobo: No, the sessions is for gnome only as far as I know.

[15:25] Jaapjan2, ahan, thanks, so i guess ,bash_login is doesn't care whether u r running kde or gnome [15:25] ItchyHobo: It cares about running bash :D [15:25] init6: yeah no autoremove then. Do 'dpkg -S /path/to/file/that/you/want/to/get/rid/of' [15:26] lee___: try passing -vo x11 to mplayer [15:26] jrib, It reports "mediawiki1.7: /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/includes/SpecialVersion.php". [15:26] Hey Jack_Sparrow, remember me? ;) [15:26] jrib: mplayer -vo x11 out.ogg? [15:26] Or just mplayer -vo x11? [15:26] init6: you need to remove that package [15:27] i have another question how can i delete files through terminal [15:27] lee___: the former [15:27] rm?

Something I've been looking for solution for a long, long time. [15:27] jrib, ++ Thank you. I was trying to remove the same packages that I installed "mediawiki mediawik-math". I didn't realize I had to remove a different package. [15:27] jrib: Wtf it worked :< [15:28] suxxor, rm -r file name === mojo_ is now known as mojo [15:28] init6: yeah, what happens is mediawiki will install the other packages as dependencies. But apt-get does not keep track of this. So when you remove mediawiki, it won't worry about the dependencies [15:28] lee___, family friendly on the abreviations plz [15:28] what`s comand to rename files? [15:28] lee___: what video card? [15:28] my USB flash drive is mounting as read-only.... how do i get it to be read/write again? it _used_ to work fine... ?!?

[15:29] Hi, i'm on Ubuntu 7.04 and have trouble installing pam_abl [15:29] * lee___ hugs jrib [15:29] init6: if you use aptitude to install packages and then use aptitude to remove them, it will remember these things and handle it for you === gregorah1mac6445 is now known as gregorah1 [15:29] Oberon: What is your trouble? [15:29] Over a year ago I bought a laser mouse, Logitech MX400. From day one I've noticed that in games, such as ET, the mouse is erratic while moved fast. For example, while moving the mouse sharply left, it moves left a bit and then go wildly and erratically to other side. Anyone had this problem or somehow know how to solve it? Thank you. [15:29] is there a sound daemon in ubunt ? [15:29] Oberon, what is pam_abl also what method are u using [15:29] jrib, okay. I will make a note to look into that tool. [15:29] jrib: How can I check my video card? [15:29] iDN: what surface is it on? [15:29] Oberon, and is there a link? [15:30] !aptitude > init6 (read the private message from ubotu) [15:30] well there its not there in the repository so am trying to compile from source buw having trouble with it [15:30] lee___: lspci | grep -i vga [15:30] A brown wooden one, colourAgga.

[15:31] Jaapjan2, let me check [15:31] Wait, is it possible that the fact it's shiny (a bit) interrupts the mouse, colourAgga? [15:31] hello, I'm using 7.10 with all updates, i have problems with suspend and hibernate since i installed the ati 8.443 fglrx, are there any known issues? [15:32] I remember reading something about it somewhere, colourAgga. [15:32] No I haven't, how silly of me [15:32] thanks Jaapjan2 [15:32] iDN, try a mousepad. [15:32] Oberon: You're welcome. [15:32] Oberon, also what errors do u get when u do make install [15:32] !dvd [15:32] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [15:32] iDN, its possible that shiny surfaces can *confuse* optical mouse's [15:33] jrib? [15:33] lee___: unfortunately, I'm not sure what to do with intel cards. You could just make x11 the default if you don't care. The usual default is 'xv' [15:33] kthakore, you mind PM? its a long list of errors [15:33] lee___: I took a large piece of white paper and moved the mouse in the same why I do in ET, and the result was the same. [15:33] <[agatha]> hi, i'm having a bit of a trouble to install ubuntu in my lappy, when the partition tool starts all freezes... yet the dvd has no errors on it so i dunno what may be happening [15:33] "mice" [15:33] Oberon please use pastebin [15:33] bod_: Confuse? What do you mean? [15:33] !paste | Oberon [15:33] Oberon: 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) [15:33] jrib, I asked that a long while back. :P How would I do that, and would it work for all players? [15:33] lee___: possible bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/38939 [15:33] okay [15:33] Malone bug 38939 in xorg-server "MPlayer receives BadAlloc when playing very large movies using Xv" [Medium,Confirmed] [15:34] How can I make x11 default jrib? [15:34] dare_fee1: 8.443? [15:34] Oberon: And try compiling when you have build-essential installed first. [15:34] zoomboot8: ah, one moment, i'll check again [15:34] Yes it gives the same errors even after installing build-essential [15:34] iDN, optical mouse's work with a red light detecting changes on the surface their on, if it was placed on a shiny surface with alot of light the mouse would see the shadows and reflections from different places causing erratic behaviour [15:35] :o [15:35] kthakore, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59383/ [15:35] dare_fee1: This is a known issue with the ati drivers, no solution yet. Some info here on it http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-598382.html [15:35] lee___: for mplayer, you just add "vo=x11" without quotes. to ~/.mplayer/config (create this file if it does not exist). From the bug report, you can try '-vo gl' instead of x11 and compare to see which one works better [15:35] bod_: It's a laser mouse. Isn't it supposed to be a lot more accurate? :O [15:35] zoomboot8: no i'll mixed up the versions, correct is 8.471 [15:35] iDN, its still light ;~) [15:36] lee___: 'gstreamer-properties' may help if you have issues with other players [15:36] i compiled a kernel , the aufs compiled for this not loading perfectly with kernel why? [15:36] i compiled a kernel , the aufs compiled for this not loaded perfectly with kernel why? [15:36] Oberon: Pam development libraries needed, perhaps? [15:36] Can I exclude packages from my ubuntu installation in LiveCD? (Like that openoffice won't be installed) [15:36] Oh, I see, bod_. So what you're suggesting is that I should buy a mousepad? [15:36] jrib, it's crashed vlc, totem, mplayer without -vo x11, and other stuff [15:36] Can anyone tell me why this happens? : sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh: command not found [15:36] genii: I had the problem that a previous version had a bug with SLUB [15:36] dare_fee1: what genii said [15:36] Jaapjan2, let me have a look [15:36] jrib: IE, I can't play it in firefox, but other people can [15:36] iDN, yer, or use a matt coloured book,.something very *non-shiny* [15:37] Can I exclude packages from my ubuntu installation in LiveCD? (Example: openoffice or flightgear won't be installed) [15:37] iDN: I have a G5 laser mouse, it doesn't work on a black matt ice-matt either. [15:37] Can I make a little experiment first? Something like taking some sort of a different, dark, non-shiny surface and test the mouse on it? [15:37] dare_fee1: another good place to check up on the ati drivers is here: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8204&page=2 [15:37] Jaapjan2, so libpam0g-dev ? or another one [15:37] lee___: if changing the gstreamer-properties preferences to use "no xv" does not resolve it, one solution would be to use the mplayer plugin in firefox and ensure that uses x11 as well [15:37] Jaapjan2: So what did you do? [15:37] Lartza_, You will need the alternate cd for that [15:38] How do I change that jrib? [15:38] iDN, its your mouse,. experiment, move speakers around change ur table have fun ;~) [15:38] iDN: Trashed the ice-matt and used it straight on the desk surface. Works great and no edged to run off. [15:38] Jack_Sparro: You can't do nothing with the LiveCD! [15:38] lee___: which part exactly (I made more than one suggestion) [15:38] Nevermind, wish me luck jrib :< [15:38] Jaapjan2: LOL, that's what I'm doing now and it [15:38] Lartza_, i know theres loadsa stuff on their ;~) (double negatives are not your forte) [15:38] it's causing the problem. :) [15:38] Jack_Sparrow: It's not your fault. Is alternate cd bigger than the live. [15:39] Anyway, thank you all, I'll just buy a decent mousepad. :) [15:39] Lartza_, get the minimal and add as needed. [15:39] or a decent mouse [15:39] !minimal | Lartza_ [15:39] Lartza_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:39] Hello Everyone. Yet another question, and thank you ahead of time for all the ones you've helped with before. [15:39] Oberon: Done a ./configure first? [15:39] I've just installed clamav, but I'm being told that I need root permissions to update dats. Any easy way to do that? [15:39] !sudo | Crusader_Tech [15:39] Crusader_Tech: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. === [NNUser] is now known as ike_x [15:40] jrib, I changed gstreamer-properties to no xv, It still doesn't play in firefox and crashed mplayer without the -vo x11 [15:40] i compiled a kernel , the aufs compiled for this not loaded perfectly with kernel why? [15:40] Jaapjan2, there is no such file so didn't try it === benzs_s is now known as benzss [15:40] so i can somehow set clamav up to run with !sudo automatically when I click the icon to start the program? [15:40] Ah, alright. Here, I'll try it on my own system. A moment. [15:40] zoomboot8: i read the thread, the last post explaines my situation: waited for the driver that should fix the hibernate/suspend - problem.. and its still not working [15:41] how do i mount a filesystem that's on a volume group if something happened to the volume group and it's "not there" anymore? [15:41] zoomboot8: went thru severeal howtos, (thinkwiki etc) to get it working, but no success [15:41] jrib? [15:42] maybe 400 is a bad luck number at logitech, V400 was a horrid piece of junk too. [15:42] Crusader_Tech, the command from terminal would be sudo clamav you could change the loauncher by right-click--properties, launcher tab, and adding sudo to the front of the command [15:42] lee___: use mplayer-plugin then [15:42] jrib: Hows? [15:42] Crusader_Tech, you can make a launcher, but you would still need to enter a password [15:42] And how do I change it so mplayer uses x11 automagically? [15:42] lee___: for mplayer, you just add "vo=x11" without quotes to ~/.mplayer/config (create this file if it does not exist). From the bug report, you can try '-vo gl' instead of x11 and compare to see which one works better [15:43] how can allow permission to lampp in directory /opt/lampp/htdocs to copy,delete,rename,save files [15:43] suxxor, sudo chmod +w [15:43] i think [15:44] jrib: How do I make firefox use it? [15:44] Crusader_Tech, I take it you are scanning programs before passing them to WIndows users? [15:44] lee___: uninstall your current plugin (totem-mozilla by default) and install mozilla-mplayer [15:44] dare_fee1: the version of ubuntu 8.04 (which will be released in april) might have the open source "radeonhd" driver. No 3d support if you use it, but the hibernate/suspend might work better [15:45] sudo chmod +w /opt/lampp/htdocs? [15:45] i think not certain [15:45] can anyone help me make a ssh tunnel to my server so i can play tce-elite from school? [15:45] should add write permissions [15:45] Jack, I'm looking to be able to run clam by just clicking an icon. I dont mind being prompted for a password [15:45] aurehman_: does that mov file play? [15:46] why might lvm volume groups disappear when upgrading from 6.1 to 7.0.4 using do-release-upgrade?

[15:55] lost4ever, You can try.. do you have one hard drive or more [15:56] eMusic is the best for DRM-free mp3's in my opinion [15:56] is it normal that to make my keyboard and touchpad working i have to use the noacpi boot parameter and sometims not [15:56] more [15:56] cnDiehard, which program are you using to view your pdfs? [15:56] bod_: I used to p2p all the time. Yea the lawsuits ran me off. 3 kids, wife, and a mortgage. I can't afford a lawsuit. But I also dont blame the artist for wanting to get paid for what they do. [15:56] I have more [15:56] lost4ever, that is where it gets tricky [15:57] that's right [15:57] mitesh, so you can't boot? [15:57] lost4ever, adding external drives gets even trickier [15:57] Jupp, I'm using evince [15:57] mitesh, you can't boot ubuntu or what? [15:57] bod_: My only complaint with iTunes was the DRM. That and It was holding up my giving Linux a fair shake. [15:57] Crusader_Tech, im the kinda person who thinks they make so much money there not loosing too much,. so im all groovy with it,. and noones been busted in this country afaik,.,. but at least youve got your priorities straight ;~) [15:57] It only print the first page for a 5-page pdf file [15:58] network printer [15:58] i compiled a kernel , the aufs compiled for this not loaded perfectly with kernel why?

[15:59] Crusader_Tech, thats the point, im not willing to pay for it ;~) [16:00] Crusader_Tech, You are drifting off the topic of support.. :) we have offtopic for that [16:00] joz [16:00] Jack_Sparrow: sorry. they got me going in a conversation. :-) [16:00] ;~) [16:01] Crusader_Tech, I had to point a finger at someone.. I have poked bod enough he should be black and blue by now [16:01] I got this message (cp: cannot create regular file `/root/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt': No such file or directory [16:01] ) [16:02] * bod_ ensures he means poke in a non-literal way ;~) [16:02] lost4ever, let me look at where it got /root [16:02] * bod_ reminds Jack_Sparrow that the lawsuit is on the way ...;~) [16:02] Jack_Sparrow: haha, no problem. You've been extremely helpful to me in dipping my toes into the world of Linux, and i'm sure i'll have more questions to send your way. Least I can do is respect you. [16:03] bod_, Hope your widow spends the money wisely [16:03] Crusader_Tech, we try to keep it friendly and ontopic [16:03] before Desktop :S [16:03] thats why Jack_Sparrow threatens me,.,.haha,.,. ;~) [16:03] Jack_Sparrow: You're doing great. Thanks again and keep up the good work. We all appreciate it. [16:04] thanks [16:04] so I take it DVDs do not actually work in ubuntu.

(realplayer -- one of the only decent apps to come out of windows) i wish it was workable through wine [16:07] artenius: well, the only codec for playing dvds is libdvdcss2 [16:07] i think [16:07] or css3 ? [16:08] Jack_Sparrow ? [16:08] it's worked ;) [16:08] I have installed BIND9 and it "should" now serve as a caching server, but when I tray to start it - it fails , why ?

[16:15] sfears, don't, cause Windowz seems to do ok [16:15] how can I mount an ISO image to a virtual drive in ubuntu? [16:15] that's because your laptop was built around windows [16:15] carrera: is there some program in particular that crashes Ubuntu? [16:15] sfears, NOOO [16:16] sfears, Fedora 6 and 8 have no problems either [16:16] mount, not burn [16:16] lee___: keep yourself subscribed to that bug, that way you can monitor the monitor the progress [16:16] Hello which one is my SUPER key, I downloaded COmpiz Config for Ubuntu and I cannot find the SUPER key that seems to be binded for Actions [16:16] Kalamarencu: the win key [16:16] what crashes? === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAL85 [16:16] Kalamarencu: ususally the windows key [16:16] carrera, Is it a clean install or have you added non-supported reops and software or run scripts like automatix or envy.. both bad ideas. [16:16] Kalamarencu: its the win key on the keyboard [16:16] Kalamarencu: super is the windoes logo key [16:16] Hi. [16:16] white_eagle, thanks... I tried it ... did not work maybe I have to restart [16:16] zoomboot8, at first i wasn't sure, but the last 2 times have been during compiling MySQL - after issuing make [16:16] thank you all [16:17] why when i add the gnome voice control applet to my panel it gives me an error (using v 0.3 of gvc) [16:17] I feel so end user... [16:17] :( [16:17] Kalamarencu: ok, join #compiz-fusion for more help on compiz [16:17] Jack_Sparrow, it's a clean install [16:17] thanks [16:17] Does anyone know of any firewall programs for Linux that will enable me to control which applications have internet access, sort of like ZoneAlarm? [16:17] will do white_eagle [16:17] Jack_Sparrow, i don't even know automatix or envy [16:17] Jack_Sparrow: what's the negative thing with using envy? doesen't it just fetch and install packages for you? :) [16:17] kimmey2k3: it installs file on your system [16:17] kimmey2k3: which location isnt quite known [16:17] zoomboot8, at first i wasn't sure, but the last 2 times have been during compiling MySQL - after issuing make [16:18] carrera: wouldn't the obvious solution be to use the binaries instead of compiling them yourself? [16:18] kimmey2k3: and that is a security risk [16:18] zoomboot8, No, that's not what i want [16:18] how can I mount an ISO image to a virtual drive in ubuntu? [16:18] I need this! [16:18] zoomboot8, and what if there's another reason [16:18] white_eagle: with the mount command? [16:18] white_eagle: sounds weird.. it should be possible to find out where the files ends up? [16:18] kimmey2k3, They have been working to improve it.. but still not ready for end users [16:18] zoomboot8, thanks for your help anyway [16:18] Jack_Sparrow: I see :) [16:18] yeah iRRVi mount but what after mount? [16:19] * sfears is interested in the answer to white_eagle's question [16:19] kimmey2k3, One thing Envy does is that it installs things in a non-standard way, so when the kernel gets upgraded as happens on numerous times throughout the lifecycle, you can't boot back into X and have to reinstall your graphics drivers [16:19] kimmey2k3: I think there was a page about that [16:19] white_eagle: lemme check real quick i forget [16:19] white_eagle: im interested to look if you are able to provide me the url :) [16:19] kimmey2k3: yeah [16:19] kimmey2k3: I'll look for it [16:20] white_eagle: great! :) thanks [16:20] when will nautilus be fixed to work reliably with SSH connections?

[16:21] thats a beast [16:21] Im looking to create an ODBC connection to a .mdb file [16:21] Where should i start? is there a GUI to help me do this? [16:21] white_eagle: there is a GUI in synatpic call "gmountiso" [16:21] zoomboot8: oh, thanks! [16:22] oh that firefox, it froze [16:22] Every time I boot Ubuntu, or every time it awakes from a blank screen, the brightness is set to the maximum. Where can I dim the LCD brightness in a permanent way? [16:22] sfears, zoomboot8, have a look at this before you hand out obvious solutions: Sudden Ubuntu 7.10 Shutdown without notice https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/200269 [16:22] Malone bug 200269 in ubuntu "Sudden Ubuntu 7.10 Shutdown without notice" [Undecided,New] [16:23] is there a difference if i have IA64 arch and use amd64 distro of ubuntu ? [16:23] 1.1 kilowatt power plant?? WTF?? [16:24] when i try to add gnome-voice-control applet to the panel i get an error saying do i want to delete the applet from the config...using v 0.3 of gvc, and 7.10 of ubuntu [16:24] Does anyone know of any firewall programs for Linux that will enable me to control which applications have internet access, sort of like ZoneAlarm? [16:24] carrera: the thing is, that report gives no information about the circumstances. I am using the same ubuntu, and the same browser, with no problems whatsoever [16:24] Nutzebahn, Firestarter === LukeL is now known as LukeL_ [16:24] carrera.. is your computer overheating? [16:25] make uses 100% resources causing it to run really hot [16:25] Hey all, im using a ubuntu install as a server with vnc to operate. It has no monitor connected. I need to increase my resolution, how do I do this when the only option is 640x480 and there is no physical monitor to configure in xorg [16:25] zoomboot8, ubuntu did shut down on me when i was using only Firefox too [16:25] sfears, no, not at all [16:25] unexpected complete shutdowns are sometimes caused by thermal protection [16:26] Jack_Sparrow: Firestarter doesn't allow me to set which programs are allowed to access the internet. Help? [16:26] sfears, it has never suddenly shut down under XP or Fedora [16:26] carrera: were you viewing a page with flash? flash tends to make the computer run very hot [16:26] i cant get gnome-voice-control to the panel...any ideas? [16:26] they use power management differently [16:26] Anyone using Orca? I have it hang while trying to display the magnifying window (compiz disabled). [16:26] CarreraYou could take out your cpu.. clean off the the heatsink paste. apply new paste replace cpu... its worked for me before [16:26] * sfears is not using Orca [16:26] hurm....i see [16:26] zoomboot8, sfears, my spins faster when the CPU temp goes up [16:26] assuming you want to play around with your hardware === LukeL_ is now known as LukeL [16:27] carrera: ubuntu saves electricity. While fedora just turns on your fan, ubuntu is programmed to immediately cut the power, thus saving you precious energy. [16:27] overheating was just an idea [16:27] thanks RobF_ [16:27] it used to happen on my old laptop all the time [16:28] sfears, sudden shutdowns? [16:28] zoomboot8, but my fans seen to run at the same speed as XP [16:28] yeah.. it was overheating [16:29] I have a hardware question. I'm looking at building a new pc for 8.04. I'm looking at the AMD Phenom 9500 setup. I'm wondering if Ubuntu 64 will take advantage of the proc? Also should I go nVidia or ATI? I know that nVidia is closed source drivers and ATI is open, any recomendations? [16:29] if i lifted it off the table allowing for extra cooling i didn't have a problem at all [16:29] mouseclone: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 384, column 84 [16:29] zoomboot8, my fans speed up when i'm loading a page on XP and they were going faster when i was compiling [16:29] sounds like overheat to me [16:29] I have installed KDevelop in Ubuntu 7.10 and in the Kdevelop-multilanguage the konsole is not there, how to get it [16:30] Hi [16:30] mouseclone, Ask in #Ubuntu+1 but avoid ati.. they are not really open source yet inspite of their clains [16:30] carrera: yeah, but XP lacks the cool feature of turning off without warning, doesn't it? See, we put extra work into Ubuntu to give you extra surprises like that, and it's environmentally friendly! [16:30] claims === theysza is now known as feysalus [16:30] Does anyone know of any firewall programs for Linux that will enable me to control which applications have internet access, sort of like ZoneAlarm? [16:30] can i install alsa in any order? i am at 1.0.14, can i install 1.0.15rc directly or do i need 1.0.15, 1.0.15rc1, 15rc2 etc.? [16:30] mouseclone: ati has released the specs of their new cards but nvidia's drivers are still better for the time being [16:30] sfears, i always have an old CD under the back feet of my laptop [16:30] ubuntufreak, You may have better luck in #Kubuntu [16:31] zoomboot8, :) [16:31] zoomboot8, are u one of the devs? [16:31] can I upgrade from ubuntu 6 --> gutsy ? [16:31] Carrera, processor overheating is normally caused by either. Dirty heat sink (clean out dust) loose heatsink(replase heatsink past and make sure heatsink is attached properly) or overclocking (overclock less) [16:32] Nutzebahn, Are you familiar with how iptables work under linux and why in most cases a "Firewall" aka iptable manager is not needed [16:32] RobF_, i'm not overclocking [16:32] carrera: They call me a dev on the page, and send me extra cds... But in reality I only filed 2 or 3 bug reports... [16:32] !upgrade | feysalus [16:32] feysalus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [16:32] thx for the info [16:32] well if you'd like to 100% troubleshoot the possibility.. i know it's kinda dirty.. get a fan, (make sure it's not laying flat on the carpet) set your laptop on top of it & try to reproduce the problem [16:32] I will check with ubuntu+1 [16:32] feysalus: i think it's recommended you upgrade through all of the versions one at a time [16:32] zoomboot8, don't tell me u work for Bell Canada? [16:32] feysalus: you can only upgrade from one version to the next. the only exception is that 6.06 -> 8.04 will be a direct upgrade [16:33] cool [16:33] carrera: HAH! What makes you think that, my ip address? It's my ISP. [16:33] how do i remove alsa? [16:33] Jack_Sparrow:trying there too [16:33] I have problems if more than one program wants to use sound, is there a way to fix this? I know there is a way to see what all is using /dev/dsp, does anyone know how to do that? [16:33] thanks for the ifo [16:33] sfears, thanks sfears. That sounds like an idea [16:33] feysalus, Since this will be the first lts to lts upgrade... we are hopeful it works well [16:33] zoomboot8, yea, cause i worked for Telus for 5 years [16:34] ok later [16:34] Jack_Sparrow: No. So how do I prevent a certain application from accessing the internet with the firewall? [16:34] Nutzebahn, What program are you trying to block.. and please dont say xxx under wine [16:34] carrera: you in Iran? [16:35] zoomboot8, i am right now, but i'll be going back to Vancouver on the 24th [16:36] Jack_Sparrow: I am not trying to block one now, but, I will at some point, how would I? Not wine programs. [16:36] carrera: dammit, I want to go to Vancouver! I think I'll be stuck in Ontario forever. [16:36] zoomboot8, carrera: please stay on topic [16:36] lol === leonel_ is now known as leonel [16:37] sfears, how about putting my vacuum cleaners pipe next to the main exhust ? [16:37] Nutzebahn, Not sure but I would think it can be done under groups and permissions... It just doesnt come up as an issue in here. [16:37] sorry tritium [16:38] Jack_Sparrow: Where is groups and permissions? [16:38] i don't think that would work as good carrera.. that pulling heat after it's exhausted.. you need to use your entire lappy as a heat sink [16:38] carrera: no worries [16:39] does ubuntu 6.06 still receive updates? [16:39] Nutzebahn, Let me link a tutorial in Ubuntu that may help.. [16:39] !training [16:39] A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [16:39] (are the packages in the repos up to date) [16:39] tritium, you're a nice guy. Are u a moderator? [16:39] if you could create a suction over the entire bottom of your case it would work.. but then you'd have to create some kind of baffel to funnel the air [16:39] !eol [16:39] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/LifeCycle [16:39] Thank you. === dennda_ is now known as dennda [16:39] carrera: thanks. Yes, I am. You're a nice guy too.

[16:39] haha [16:40] Jack_Sparrow: sorry, I wasn't following, but not of hand, no. [16:40] s/of/off [16:40] Jack_Sparrow: he could block based on the port the app uses [16:41] tritium, My only though was priv. of the users able to access it [16:41] zoomboot8: :) [16:41] v3ctor, Understood.. but that was not his question.. [16:41] i'm starting to like this room [16:41] Jack_Sparrow: I'll read some scroll back, and think about it. [16:41] Hi, thinking about changing my mum's computer to run linux, not windows so it can be faster and have a nice clean install. I haven't really used linux before. She does all the normal stuff, + will want to access shared files on other windows machines on the network and print on their printers. I've been told Ubuntu is a good first distro. Is this true, also should I go for straight ubuntu, or a derivative? [16:41] there's a lot here to like carrera [16:41] i just hope ubuntu didn't keep killing my laptop! :( [16:42] just a question: how do u guys keep up with the fast pace? [16:42] carrera: killing your laptop? how? [16:42] DeTeReR: I have done the same thing for my mom, with Ubuntu, so I'd totally recommend it [16:42] so let's say i have a completely legit iso image of a dvd mounted with gmountiso.. what movie player can i use to watch it with audio? [16:42] carrera, this is nothing.. wait until it gets busy [16:42] haha [16:42] Zoom: straight version, not X or K? [16:42] nevermind.. i just didn't have the volume turned up in totem [16:42] tritium, exactly the same as this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/200269 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/200269 [16:42] Malone bug 200269 in ubuntu "Sudden Ubuntu 7.10 Shutdown without notice" [Undecided,New] [16:42] :) [16:42] DeTeReR: learn to use ubuntu yourself before installing it on your mom's computer. [16:43] ubuntu Dapper did kill my DVD drive when i tried to burn an ISO.... luckily dell mailed me a new drive.... [16:43] so it is a capable killer [16:43] if I installed proftpd do I need to add root to a group to be able to login? http://pastebin.ca/939828 [16:43] is there an irc channel for nicotine+ ? [16:43] carrera: have you looked at any logs? [16:44] I will dual boot it with windows so I can still game on it easily, but I don't want to have to install multiple OSs just to try them out [16:44] DeTeReR: yeah, the straight version [16:44] zoomboot8: it can't kill a DVD drive. [16:44] tritium: it did [16:44] carrera, Do you have acpi=off in your grub boot command [16:44] The DVD drive probably killed itself [16:44] zoomboot8: rather, the DVD drive hardware failed on its own accord [16:44] not yet tritium, i was going to do that after my workout [16:44] Jack_Sparrow, good point, lemme check... [16:45] tritium: maybe a normal dvd drive, but a burner? You are sure that apha software can't burn it out? [16:45] carrera: that bug report has little detail. If you can find logs that detail anything that might be going on when that occurs, that would help. [16:45] zoomboot8: yes, I'm sure. [16:45] okay i figured out what was wrong with the gvc - but i cant figure out how to fix it: it says "Error...shared library thingy...libshpinxad.so.0"...but its right there at /usr/local/lib/libsphinxad.so.0 [16:46] (no such file or directory, you know the drill) [16:46] tritium: well, I burn my isos now in XP, since I'm paranoid and my warranty is over... that's really all I use XP for now... [16:47] Zoom, its a shame. kb3 is great. [16:47] how do i know if i'm using the latest nvidia binary driver? [16:47] prince_jammys, u here? can uremind me of that command again plz,.,.the one to substitute lines in a text file [16:47] chelz: fire up nvidia-config [16:47] wow, this channel just keeps growing... [16:47] zoomboot8: there's no mechanism by which a DVD burner could be damaged or killed by burning [16:48] kdub: wait untill the day before releas'es :) [16:48] kdub: unga bunga will rule all [16:48] zoomboot8, its not like the software could 'overheat' the drive or something... this is down to the chips in the hardware [16:48] tritium: except if you literally burn it.... :-) [16:48] kdub: true ;) [16:49] I am in the KDevelop interface designer and I don't know how to bring up the code window for the button I added to the form, how do I? [16:49] okay i figured out what was wrong with the gvc - but i cant figure out how to fix it: it says "Error...shared library thingy...libshpinxad.so.0"...but its right there at /usr/local/lib/libsphinxad.so.0 (the error says no such file or directory) [16:50] tritium, DRebellion: all I know is that I was happily burning ISOs in Windows, then I installed Ubuntu, and the second ISO I burnt froze halfway through the burn, and when I reset the computer the DVD drive was completely broken. [16:50] when did traceroute change it default to udp rather than icmp? [16:50] bod_, I'll it up for you [16:50] zoomboot8: like I said earlier, the hardware must have failed on its own, and would have done so on Windows too, had you been using it at the time [16:50] incorrect: long as i can remember in the gnu version [16:50] Nutzebahn: you are using KDE? [16:50] RobF_, what? [16:51] incorrect: its a pain first time you use it :) [16:51] is there a fix for the blurry fonts in open office? [16:51] pike_, i remember a time when it was icmp [16:52] i didn't even know it had changed === xb3rtx is now known as xb3rt [16:52] #sekas [16:52] RobF_, I'll it up????

[17:02] zoomboot8: backport repository [17:02] is the amd64 release as stable as the regular 32bit? [17:02] stable [17:02] hi [17:02] thanks solar_george for wifi-radar - does this replaces NetworkManger? [17:02] Jack_Sparrow, I greped for acpi in /boot/grub to no avail [17:03] i figured out why I could login to my ftp server. ROOT is not allowed to ftp for security reasons [17:03] WilcoJR: it's not as good, but it performs a similar function [17:03] (using linux mint btw--sry for the "deception"): http://paste.stgraber.org/1488 [17:03] ok - thanks guys [17:03] Jack_Sparrow, should I add acpi=off to menu.lst or something? [17:03] Hi all. I have a problem with display power management. It takes about 10 minutes to turn off my monitor. My laptop is Dell Inspiron 1501. Ubuntu 7.10 (gnome), from live cd. I'm sure that it's not a screensaver, because I have changed default screensaver to another but still see just a blank screen. Have a look at screen saver settings: http://smages.com/a3/fa/a3fa71589fb471eac9a63b50a9a6dfae.png.htm. I have also turned on all in power saving section (both for [17:03] battery mode and for AC mode): http://smages.com/a6/5a/a65ad1a9555d050c099a632f14ccdf77.png.htm, http://smages.com/32/ec/32ec5fa1521195a29b5e170faedabc27.png.htm. Sorry for russian in screen-shots. How can I solve this problem, maybe with console? It get me nurves, when I watch movies... Thanks. [17:03] carrera, Please check your logs, but adding noapci acpi=off would be my first suggestion if shooting into the dark [17:03] Ronin-Sage: heretic ;) [17:03] carrera, no, add it to the boot line in the grub menu,.,. [17:03] to /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:03] oh [17:03] yes [17:03] would you guys recommend installing OOO 2.31 of wait for the backports? [17:03] can I install 32bit apps on a 64bit linux? [17:04] grr3: yes [17:04] ChaosR: everything seems to be running fine. It installed firefox3 along side of firefox 2, so i can choose.... I haven't noticed anything else unstable [17:04] 64bit support has it's fair share of issues tho [17:04] broadcom4328 rev03 on x64 ubuntu box is not working [17:04] is there any reason at all to install 32bit linux on a computer with an amd64 processor? [17:04] zoomboot8: I mean more like using upgrades from backports, is it like debian testing or something? [17:04] grr3, yes... [17:05] zoomboot8, firefox3? when did that come out? [17:05] bod_, try #sed 's/yes/no/' < "I said yes" [17:05] linnoob, all broadcom wireless crap does not work propely. mine BCM4311GM (dell d630) using the natvie bcm driver - did not work. [17:05] grr3: there is very little performance gain if you switch to 64bit, and there are the aforementioned issues. It might be better to stick with 32bit. [17:05] carrera: it's in beta, but it's in the gutsy-backports repo [17:05] grr3, There are fewer issues to deal with for a new user and the speed difference will be negligible [17:05] Jack_Sparrow, I greped for acpi in /boot/grub to no avail [17:05] Jack_Sparrow, should I add acpi=off to menu.lst or something? [17:05] using the ndiswrapper and it works perfectly! [17:05] grr3: as a rule most people still choose 32 bit unless they need ALOT of memory for individual processes [17:05] zoomboot8: not what I mean :P [17:05] i have a problem... After upgrading now the max. resolution available is 640x480, without special effects and without a windowmanager. Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 nv geforcego 7300. Can someone help me please? [17:06] thanks zoomboot8 and what's backports? [17:06] carrera, yes both of those commands I gave is where I would start.. I also remove splash and quiet on installs I do here [17:06] ChaosR: there aren't actaully many packages in gutsy-backports, not like debian testing. The full list is here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/allpackages [17:06] RobF_, needs to be -- sed 's/yes/no/' <<< "I said yes" -- three <<< cheers m8,. i appreciate it [17:06] ok, thanks! I'll stick with 32bit. [17:06] Yacci, use the Restricted Driver Manager and installl the Nvidia driver [17:06] carrera, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:06] Jack_Sparrow, which 2 cmds? [17:06] !backports [17:06] zoomboot8: it says it has 45 updates available, my main question is, should I install them or not [17:06] carrera, Please check your logs, but adding noapci acpi=off would be my first suggestion if shooting into the dark [17:07] carrera: gutsy-backports has a few newer programs to try out from the next version of ubuntu [17:07] Jack_Sparrow, im gonna !repeat you soon ;~) [17:07] too bad OOO 2.31 is not on the backports [17:07] ChaosR: all I know is, I did, and nothing has gone wrong [17:07] bod`Tell me about it.. [17:07] i want to make all the files and folders in a directory user and group readable and writable. but I also need them to be excutable by all if they are directories. chmod -R 775 doesn't cut it because it makes the files executable too. is a second pass with "find -type d" necessary? or can i do this with cmod somehow? [17:07] s,cmod,chmod [17:07] is there any way i can shove more resolution out of my svideo cable.. 1024x768 looks like crap on my tv [17:07] i think i tried it but it did not work... Or where can i find that Restricted Driver Manager? [17:08] Jack_Sparrow, have you got that phrase in your copy and paste hand? hehe [17:08] (is there an irc command to stop the "left the room" and such notifications?) [17:08] Jack_Sparrow, i like using Vi! ;) [17:08] Hi people [17:08] !hi [17:08] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[17:10] tritium, how come Nvidia 169.12 is not part of ubuntu restrticted drivers or not in the backports? [17:11] its a config file in /etc/laptop_mode you also need to enable it in /etc/defaults [17:11] i had to use Envy to grab 169.12 [17:11] they fix like gazillions of problems [17:11] !envy | WilcoJR [17:11] pike_, hmmm [17:11] WilcoJR: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories.

[17:11] WilcoJR: after a stable release, only security and major bug fixes are released. It'll be in hardy. [17:12] EdwardXp: first try sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~ [17:12] do i need to delete and reinstall ubuntu? [17:12] tritium, this i understand yet nvidia 169 works pretty good. so if you guys say to refrain from using envy - how do you do it without ? [17:12] Yacci: no, why? [17:12] WilcoJR, NOt sure how you changed that when you removed the drivers... but you said you reinstalled them... Did you post your xorg to the pastebin? [17:13] hi .. my system crashed and i can't start it ... can someone tell me the command to copy and paste in shell [17:13] WilcoJR: easy. I just use the packages in the repos. [17:13] alt + f2 type metacity --replace [17:13] pike_> wjhats' [17:13] tritium, but no package for 169 [17:13] ForsakenSoul: just highlight it and middle click to paste [17:13] pike_ that going to do? [17:13] only the standard 100 [17:13] !nvidia [17:13] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:13] Yacci: go to a terminal and type "metacity" [17:13] jourdan i meen files [17:13] mean* [17:13] WilcoJR: I don't need the absolute latest [17:13] ForsakenSoul, cp file1 file2 [17:13] zoomboot8: What will that do? [17:13] oh, "cp current_file new_file [17:13] well i had too. laptop dual screens - 100 was not good :( [17:13] actually a whole directory [17:14] Yacci: or maybe "metacity --replace" [17:14] you'll want the -r flag [17:14] ForsakenSoul, cp -r directory/ destination/ [17:14] Yacci, metacity --replace or compiz -replace [17:14] Yacci, metacity --replace or compiz --replace [17:14] so is there any simple way to re-install the intel binary drivers for 950 gma chipset? [17:14] Like DRebellion said [17:14] it will start the window manager [17:14] Yacci: it give you a window manager, which you lack [17:14] Yacci, It will reinstall your window decorator [17:14] EdwardXp: that changes ownership to everything in your home dir to you so if you ls -l ~ <-- the ~ means /home/$USER then you wont see root owning anything. ive not used cedega myself so i cant be sure but everything it sets up should be in your home id think and no need for root [17:14] which does the decortations and closing [17:14] okay, i will try it. Thx [17:14] to i have to be in the parent directory [17:14] or could i cp something like [17:15] WilcoJR: I really don't even need restricted drivers at all. [17:15] cp -r /home/user/ /media/sd5/backup [17:15] can i restart the xserver without logging off? [17:15] last night i forget my userpass and had to re-install to get the comp working, what can i do incase that happens again [17:15] ForsakenSoul, that will work [17:15] what irc client should i use with ubuntu? [17:15] no [17:15] ok thanks [17:15] alright [17:15] nerxgas: whatever one you want [17:15] cp -a is better, perseveres permissions [17:15] nerxgas: i find pidgin to work nicely [17:15] i'm used to using mirc, [17:15] ok here is something i did not find a soltuion for - how do you use your laptop screen and an external without cloning. i want to SWITCH between laptop and External which have different resolutions [17:15] is there a simple way to do so? [17:15] in windows you can use the Fn+F8 [17:16] xb3rt, You cant recover your password, but you can go into recovery mode and erase the old one and create a new one.. [17:16] nerxgas: xchat is similar to mirc's interface [17:16] pike_, whats' user/user twice? $USER:$USER ~ [17:16] WilcoJR: i use xrandr for that, as TwinView is deprecated [17:16] $edward:edward or $root:$edward ??? some sort of vice versa thing.. [17:16] pici, thanks, i'll install xchat [17:16] Jack_Sparrow: how do i do that [17:16] WilcoJR: hopefully, the new xrandr gui in hardy will make that trivial [17:16] Jack_Sparrow:any tips on my gdm crash? [17:17] tritium, i tried nvidia twinview - and using thier control panel app (nvidia-settings) i manage to switch between internal external [17:17] i.e i disabled the laptop display. but its quite weird procedure [17:17] hello, last time i installed ubuntu i was able to browse my western digital elements external usb hdd, now it doesnt show up. what should i do? [17:17] Ronin-Sage, gdm crash.. HAve you installed a new gdm theme.. or you can flush all gnome settings back to factory fresh.. [17:17] i haven't installed a new theme--i'm using linux mint default one [17:18] it's just that whenever i even think of doing 3D on the machine, it crashes to login [17:18] Ronin-Sage, We dont support mint in here.. [17:18] hey, what does linux mint have that's different than standard ubuntu [17:18] they are both gnome, right? [17:18] i realize, but the problem began i noobishly removed xserver-xorg-video-intel package [17:18] Hey. Can someone help me real fast? [17:18] which is from ubuntu repo [17:19] WilcoJR: xrandr is the preferred way now [17:19] jester7, We dont support all the variations.. mint, ultimate studio etc,... just ours [17:19] !ask | DaemonLee [17:19] DaemonLee: 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. :-) [17:19] xrandr hmm.. ok i'll read about it. [17:19] EdwardXp: if youi ls -l youll see like ------- 1 username group the group for you is same as your user so $USER works [17:19] Jack_Sparrow: i realize....i was just wondering what the difference was [17:19] EdwardXp: $USER is a shell variable that holds your user name [17:19] mint is advertised as a from-windows distro, basically [17:19] anyway [17:20] any know about this message from dmesg? NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 [17:20] how do i get back the System>Advanced Dekstop Preferences [17:20] with the cube and everything [17:20] Jack_Sparrow:so i'm assuming there's nothing to get from being here? [17:20] !ccsm | xb3rt [17:20] jester7, It is frustrating for us to sepnd 20 minutes fighing a problem , getting odd results and then finding out they are not running our distro , but came here because they could not get support from Mint or whoever made it for them [17:20] xb3rt: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [17:20] hola [17:20] Hey all, does anyone know what this error is in reference to? I don't even know what the nbdXX device is..... [17:20] http://pastebin.ca/939888 [17:20] :0 [17:21] is there anyone here who knows how to get an external hdd drive (ntfs/fat) to work in ubuntu? (doesnt show up at all but hdd shows activity that its plugged in) [17:21] I just ran that command [17:21] i'm trying to install ubuntu on this crappy hp, no more than 512MB RAM and 1GHz processor, and this message keeps popping up: Buffer I/O error on device Fd0, logical block 0 - is it not finding my hard drive? [17:21] i think everything is owned by me now, [17:21] Ronin-Sage, There are enough differences that you should try Mint first or install Ubuntu [17:21] ghfreak51: it's not finding your floppy drive [17:21] so [17:21] now i am on ubuntu [17:21] ghfreak51: I had to disable my floppy in BIOS to get ubuntu to install, then enable it to get ubuntu to boot [17:21] i see...then this was a waste of time---i DID mention that i was using mint before i pasted that info btw [17:22] Yacci, did that command fix you up [17:22] well that sucks [17:22] Jack_Sparrow: hah, i'm not saying "what's the difference, just help him" i was just inquiring to what the actual differences are...out of curiosity. seems to me it's ubuntu with a green theme. [17:22] thanks [17:22] Jack_Sparrow: i understand your point [17:22] My chatZilla-Window goes about the whole screen... [17:22] ghfreak51: yea, it's pretty odd. [17:22] Hi all [17:22] ghfreak51, Usually, it will hit that error twice then go through.. [17:23] it's hit like 20 times.. it just keeps listing the error with a larger number in front of it [17:23] please tell me how to disable the firewall on feisty? [17:23] Yacci: did you type the terminal command? [17:23] Jack_Sparrow: How can i access the console now? [17:23] pike_, im still having problems installing " you must have administrator privileges to install this product" im trying to install The First Decade of Command and Conquer on transgamming software [17:23] Jack_Sparrow: my install did it for 30 mins before I gave up and disabled the floppy [17:23] Do you need sudo/root to install Wow with Wine? Helping a friend right now. Not sure. [17:23] ghfreak51, At start or install press F6 and remove quiet and splash from the command line and try again. If that does not work do the same thing and after removing those add noapic acpi=off before the -- [17:23] alt + f2 [17:24] Yacci: press Alt-F2 [17:24] ok [17:24] will open a run dialogue [17:24] Can anyone help me, real fast with CPUFREQD? [17:24] nothing happens [17:24] Yacci: then type "metacity --replace" === assasuka1se is now known as ciacane [17:24] hmmm [17:24] please explain === animadversior is now known as IRCLemur [17:24] Zambezi: /join #winehq [17:24] solar_george, may I private message you, instead? [17:25] zoomboot8, thanks... for keeping an eye on that [17:25] somebody please tell me how to disable the firewall on feisty? [17:25] Can Someone help me out on this issue::::::: im still having problems installing " you must have administrator privileges to install this product" im trying to install The First Decade of Command and Conquer on transgamming software [17:25] drhous1, What is the problem.. we use iptables.. [17:25] if you ask the entire #ubuntu you're more likely to get help [17:25] How do you get an external usb hdd to work in Ubuntu? Its an WD Elements and it shows activity that its plugged in. Just seems like drivers are missing =/ (it has worked in a different ubuntu installation) [17:25] !sudo [17:25] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [17:25] !gksudo | EdwardXp [17:25] EdwardXp: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [17:25] Jack_Sparrow: when I press Strg + Alt + F1, how do i go back? [17:26] drhous1: there are no default firewall rules setup [17:26] Jack_Sparrow: The firewall isnt disabled in torrents [17:26] Kk. For some odd reason, my CPU is locked at 800mhz, but it's a 2.0ghz Processor. I'm trying to figure out how to customize CPUFREQD to get it back at 2.0ghz, but back to 800ghz when on battery power. [17:26] thjanks [17:26] Jack_Sparrow: so i dont get to utilise full bandwidth [17:26] brb [17:26] Yacci: ctrl+alt+f7 [17:26] Yacci: strg-alt-f7 ? [17:27] what do i have to write before firestarter so that it start when i start the pc ? gk somthing i think [17:27] Are there any other Ubuntu help-irc-channels? [17:27] ok [17:27] drhous1: your problem is not likely due to any firewalling. Perhaps it's your ISP. [17:27] hmmm [17:27] axillaa: several [17:27] I would use laptop_mode but you need to know command line in order to use it [17:27] I know a -little- command line. [17:27] tritium: Mind sharing some? [17:27] tritium: some of my friends told me that this problem does not occur with gutsy [17:27] any know about this message from dmesg? NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 [17:27] tritium: But i face it [17:28] axillaa: they're all topical. Just do a channel listing, and you'll see them. [17:28] So, solar_george, what can I do to get this to work? [17:28] first install the cpufreq applet (it may just need to be added to your panel) [17:28] does anyone have any recommendations for Wireless-N cards for linux? [17:28] tritium: in place of NAT - OK i see NAT - Firewalled on azureus [17:28] drhous1: you can install firestarter, it's a front end for the built in firewall [17:28] hey can someone help me out with an rsync command? this is the command i'm using and only the things in the main folder get synced and all the folders even folders within folders but no files in any sub directories get synced... rsync -e ssh -varuzP /home/store/Documents/ store@192.168.0.202:/home/store/ [17:28] zzz [17:28] whats the apt-get for xfce [17:28] Windowmanager-Error: unable to open X Display [17:28] apt-get [17:28] drhous1: unless it's blocking the traffic, it's probably a router or your ISP slowing down torrents [17:29] solar_george, Done. Now what? [17:29] How do you get an external usb hdd to work in Ubuntu? Its an WD Elements and it shows activity that its plugged in. Just seems like drivers are missing =/ (it has worked in a different ubuntu installation) [17:29] axillaa: is it NTFS formatted? [17:29] How do I compile a module separately? [17:29] drhous1 have you forwarded the ports for azureus on your router? [17:29] yes [17:29] axillaa: and did it work on a newer version of ubuntu? [17:29] when you hover your mouse over it does it say scaling enabled [17:29] sinbox: how do i do that? [17:29] I have a kernel module on a separate folder and I'd like to compile it. [17:29] axillaa: like, are you trying on Feisty or earlier and not working? [17:29] Over what? [17:29] >.> [17:30] no, it worked on this version, the exact same installation but yesterday =) [17:30] not sure how do it. make isn't suffice. :P [17:30] dont know what feisty is [17:30] the applet [17:30] axillaa: oh umm freaky. what version? [17:30] drhous1, go to http://wwwportforward.com find your router model and then on that page the instructions for azureus [17:30] There is nothing new in my applications...or system area. [17:30] newest? =/ [17:30] sinbox: thanks a lot [17:30] Jack_Sparrow: When I input metacity --replace i get the error Windowmanager-Error: unable to open X Display [17:30] right click on the panel and add a new applet [17:30] axillaa: ok so Gutsy... umm weird.... if you type "mount" in the command line, it doesnt show up, right? [17:31] drhous1: www.portforward.com [17:31] what can i do now? [17:31] MilitantPotato: Thanks [17:31] drhous1: np [17:31] store: You use -varuzP. -a implies -rlptgoD, so you can shorten your line to -vauzP. Now your issue is that it isn't doing subfolders? Give a path example. [17:31] solar_george, Okay. I see it. It says 2ghz now. [17:31] Sorry I had to jump to WIndows for a sec [17:31] sorry about the typo drhous1 :) [17:31] ah sin beat me :) [17:32] sinbox: no problem [17:32] aha [17:32] how did you know that it was limited before [17:32] sysinfo [17:32] Yacci, hit ctrl+alt+f1 through f6 to get to terminals ctrl+alt+f7 will bring you back to gui [17:32] store: I know that rsync will not sync .* files in the current/base directory, but that doesn't seem to be what you're complaining about. [17:32] why does s-video from a dvd player into tv look fine but svideo from computer to tv looks like crap?? [17:32] I found it out now [17:32] Hello, i want to install g++ 4.1 using apt-get. it is asking me for ubuntu cd, why so? is there any alternative way to install it? [17:33] axillaa: do you know your user id and group id numbers? if not, look in system -> admin -> users & groups and see what they are. [17:33] :"( [17:33] but when i enter metacity --replace i get an error Windowmanager-Error: unable to open X Display [17:33] does that also say 2ghz now [17:33] its' not workingl.. [17:33] Yeah. [17:33] n__, because you have the cd repo enabled. go to system -> administration -> software sources and disable it. [17:33] cannonball, all of my files under the top Documents folder get synced and all sub directories and all other directories no matter how deep they go but no files under the top folder get synced only the ones in the Documents folder... [17:34] How do I compile a module separately? [17:34] I have a kernel module on a separate folder and I'd like to compile it. [17:34] not sure how do it. make isn't suffice. :P [17:34] * sinbox just realised he has no idea what his root login and password are [17:34] what module ? [17:34] Yacci, You may have hosed up more than the decorator, you can reset all gnome settings... and I mean all... [17:34] o.O [17:34] solar_george, is there anyway that I can alter how it does certain things or not? [17:34] hover your mouse over the applet what govenor does it say you are using [17:34] use module-asisstant [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: any chance his xorg.conf is messed? [17:35] Yacci, You can /join #Compiz [17:35] Jack_Sparrow: good. And how to do that? [17:35] n__, DRebellion beat me to it... edit your /etc/apt/sources.list. I just had that problem on a headless server... tried to add squid through the webin interface and got 1000 lines if html asking me to insert a CD, lol... [17:35] MilitantPotato, It would not hurt to look.. [17:35] solar_george, all it says is; [17:35] CPU 0 - Ondemand [17:35] 2ghz (100%) [17:35] thank you [17:35] store: What are you calling the "top folder"? If I understand you correctly, Documents *IS* the top folder according to the way you've constructed your command. [17:35] Lunks: module-asisstant [17:36] Yacci: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [17:36] ok thats the ondemand governor - it will reduce the speed of your cpu when you don't need it - thats why it said that the cpu was only 800mhz before [17:36] Yacci, As a last resort here is the reset info.. will get you xorg info next [17:36] Yacci: in ctrl+alt+f1 [17:36] store: You also are syncing /home/store/Documents/. So if you had (for example) a file named store.txt, it would rsync /home/store/Documents/store.txt to store@remotemachine:/home/store/store.txt . [17:36] Yacci, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [17:36] Yacci: try VESA/MESA video drivers at first [17:36] How do I mount? [17:36] macogw: im there, id = loginname? [17:36] solar_george, So, can I command it to do it in certain ways or not? [17:37] Yacci: do what Jack_Sparrow said first :) [17:37] axillaa: no the number...go to properties on your username [17:37] ok [17:37] I'm not sure what the recomended way is [17:37] Yacci, Please return to us the link that program returns to you [17:37] Hello [17:37] axillaa: and then you need the UID number...it might be in "advanced" (not sure how it looks exactly i'm on hardy) [17:37] try looking of help.ubuntu.com [17:37] macogw: 1000? [17:37] cannonball, it will do that but if I have a folder /home/store/Documents/pictures/aa.jpg the pictures folder would go to /home/store/pictures but the picture will not [17:37] axillaa: ok [17:37] store: if you want it to be put in store@remotemachine:/home/store/Documents/store.txt, you'll want to change your rsync command by one character. Remove the trailing slash from the /home/store/Documents/ path. with the trailing slash, it says to put the contents of that directory on the remote machine. Without the trailing slash, it says to copy the directory name too. [17:38] In t.10 is there any select all command(ctrl+e) ? [17:38] axillaa: and then if you hit manage groups and click your user and look at the GID? [17:38] axillaa... isn't that "armpit"? I seem to remember that from a song by the band Phish [17:39] store: The -a should take care of that, I agree, because it implies recursive. I have no reason why it wouldn't be copying the files correctly unless the destination machine is full or at quota (but you'd see permission denied errors if that was the case). [17:39] axillaa: to mount it, you type "ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o uid=1000 gid=*whatever it says* [17:39] cannonball, do you think it is not taking my options past the -e ssh? [17:40] axillaa: then your user owns the drive so you have read/write access [17:40] store: I would have to say yes. Put them before the -e and see if it performs differently. [17:40] store: It shouldn't make any difference though. [17:40] should I instead make it rsync -vae ssh /home/store/Documents/ store@192.168.0.202:/home/store/? [17:41] store: separate the -e from the rest [17:41] store: Are you sure you even need to specify -e ssh? Modern versions of rsync do it by default. [17:42] "ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o uid=1000 gid=1000" ? [17:42] oh really? didn't know i'll try without [17:42] MilitantPotato, I need to take a call.. can you keep an eye out for Yacci for me.? [17:42] Sadistt0, that would not be it as I patched the module. [17:42] cannonball, looks like that did it === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode[u] [17:43] ntfs-3g: You must specify exactly one device and exactly one mount point. [17:43] =( [17:43] http://pastebin.com/f693ef718 [17:43] Sadistt0, I do not want to run ndiswrapper. :> [17:44] I do a sudo apt-get avant-window-navigator awn-manager and it says it cant find avant-window-navigator [17:44] axillaa: that is one device and one mount point...hmm "sudo mkdir /media/disk" maybe? [17:44] hola [17:44] when will kde4 be out? [17:44] nerxgas, 4.0.what? I thougt kde 4 was out in Jan [17:44] axillaa: hmm um is /dev/sdb1 your external drive? [17:45] Jack_Sparrow: yea [17:45] oh, its here? cool! [17:45] Yacci: two shakes [17:45] macogw: Im sorry, I dont know =/ [17:45] Yacci, What release distro are you using? [17:46] any of you remember that deb-takeover script that turned every machine to a debian box? is there something like that for Ubuntu? :-) [17:46] hmm.. I installed 8.04 yesterday [17:46] axillaa: if you do "ls /dev | grep sd" does it say sdb1 anywhere? [17:46] !hardy | Yacci [17:46] Yacci: 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 [17:46] macogw: no [17:46] Yacci, Yea... that is one ugly xorg.. YOu need to see if someone in #Ubuntu+1 can sort that out [17:46] aha^^ [17:46] ok [17:47] yacc, I did that too yesterday. On my neighbours laptop. Just have a hard time with the Broadcom Wifi. I get it to run, but not on my own network with static IP. [17:47] thx [17:47] np [17:47] axillaa: is it plugged in? [17:47] nerxgas, http://www.osnews.com/story/19451 and of course http://www.kde.org/ [17:47] Jack_Sparrow: ugly is an understatement :) [17:47] How do I compile a module for my kernel? [17:47] MilitantPotato, :) [17:47] I don't want to go compiling my kernel all over again [17:47] I need to return a call.. bbl [17:47] macogw: ptysd, sda, sda1, sda2, sda5, ttysd [17:47] macogw: yes, its plugged in and its blinking as if it has contact with the computer [17:47] Lunks: What module? [17:47] Yacci: give this command a shot, can't do any more harm [17:48] genii, I patched bcm43xx [17:48] genii, it's on ~/bcm43xx [17:48] MilitantPotato utters famous last words... [17:48] Yacci:do sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [17:48] anyone know, how to hide mounted partition from desktop? [17:48] then : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [17:48] sergevn, remove (or move the mount) from /media/ [17:48] Lunks: So you downloaded the source code for the bcm43xx driver, applied a patch so far? [17:48] Yacci: you'll have a backup under xorg.conf.bak incase you need it. [17:49] axillaa: if you type "mount" does it say the sda1, sda2, or sda5 is in use as / ? [17:49] genii, yeah, just need to compile it [17:49] ok [17:49] genii, thing is, I don't know how to. make doesn't work. === USERNAME is now known as Stiggie [17:49] Lunks: Make sure you have build-essential installed [17:49] Lunks: You may also need kernel headers installed [17:49] genii, it's actually from a linux-source package, but I moved to ~ so it could be easier editing [17:49] Yacci: you'll probably need to go about fixing your resolution afterward, but hopefully you'll be able to get into your desktop [17:49] Lunks: have you tried ./configure ? [17:49] genii, I have them all. [17:50] you'll need to go to #ubuntu+1 for help with that [17:50] fak3r, there's no script [17:50] I know all this genii, and I have done it so far by recompiling the whole kernel [17:50] macogw: http://pastebin.com/m502ebcac [17:50] But I'd like to just compile a single module, not the whole stuff [17:50] I hope that too [17:50] Lunks: moving it from inside another build tree makes it problemmatic [17:51] genii, what should I do, then? [17:51] genii, get it back to kernel tree, then? [17:51] Lunks: Put it back in the source tree in /usr/src or where your tree is, then make only that module, or even all modules [17:51] axillaa: ok....freaky. the only drive your computer sees is the one it's running from. as far as its concerned, nothing is plugged in [17:51] macogw: Did that help? =/ [17:51] (from the top dir) [17:52] =( [17:52] genii, how to compile only bcm43xx module? [17:52] axillaa: try a different usb drive? [17:52] axillaa: i mean usb port [17:53] macogw: Ok, I can try again. [17:53] MilitantPotato: I executed "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak" but nothing changed [17:53] Yacci: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [17:53] Yacci: that made a backup of your current xorg.conf [17:53] ok [17:53] Yacci: that just made a backup copy. it doesnt tell you any info [17:53] achso [17:53] axillaa, you could look into the "NTFS Configuration Tool" does all the mounting in a GUI but I haven't tried with an external NTFS though [17:54] sinbox: its not showing in /dev [17:54] genii, is there someway? that's what is missing. [17:54] sinbox: bigger problems than ntfs are at work [17:54] What do i use to install a new bootsplash theme? [17:54] Yacci: then either restart, or run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (I think this restarts Xserver) [17:54] Yacci: Or press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. [17:55] Yacci: That kills the X-Server too. [17:55] Lunks: I'm not sure you can specify one module to compile only. Usually it's more like: sudo make modules [17:55] yacc: that just restarts it [17:55] Yacc does that work from the login screen? I havn't tried. [17:55] genii, it's really a pain in the ass. :> [17:55] macogw: No, it kills it and gdm starts a fresh one. [17:56] macogw: It worked in my side usbports now =) [17:56] yacc: which is the same as restarting...if you need to have it actually killed, you have to stop gdm totally [17:56] MilitantPotato: yes.

[18:52] speedhunt3r: please give more information [18:53] ^u^ thanks! [18:53] Moduliz0r: well it is quite a big drive, if it's already partitioned, then it's ok to cancel, just don't want to cancel it in the middle of a partition, but that step is earlier I think... [18:53] <^u^> k [18:53] !elaborate | speedhunt3r [18:53] speedhunt3r: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you.

[18:54] Moduliz0r: GNU/Linux tends to be very fast at formating drives, you might want to use gparted manualy, (e.g system --> admin --> gparted) to partition, and then run it, if that doesn't work you could go even further with either a gparted live cd, which tends to work, or try fdisk, and mkfs.ext3 (or whatever you are formating it as) [18:54] Le-Chuck_ITA: and.. [18:55] I just installed an ati rage 128 pro ultra tf into a machine already installed with 7.10 but can't get the native ati driver to work. Could you help me with this please?

[19:04] bod_: it says "mv: cannot stat `/home/rebecca/.Skype': No such file or directory" [19:04] I'll keep that in mind, thx [19:04] <[tla]> bod_: I found a web page that suggests the i810 driver should work. Do I just give F6 on the install page "vga=i810" to use it? [19:04] cl3tUs, removes your root folder and everything downwards eg EVERYTHING [19:04] bod_: do not even jokingly post that here [19:04] ooooo [19:04] bod_, I'd hate to learn that the hard way.

[19:06] guys, I have this problem with tracker: I search files, it finds it but it does not show the list, only the number of matches [19:06] bod_: yes, posing it in a channel where people are used to run commands they see is bad. many people in here will run a command just to see what it does [19:06] this is in tracker GUIs [19:06] !tab [19:06] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[19:08] pike_, did you not read her saying she knows nothing of comps ;~),. i think that will confuse,.,. wortha try though [19:08] manatatas, locate filename [19:08] bod_: it doesn't matter, never post it here or in any other #*buntu* channel [19:08] Manatatas, what are you searching for? I am a noob, but I know you can navigate to a folder and do a "ls" or a "locate " [19:09] why doesn't the orange bar show on my screen as ubuntu 7.10 is loading?? [19:09] I'm also noob, lol.. how do you search for files, like in windews? [19:09] Strange, I reinstalled Wine, but now the Wine menu in Applications is not showing. Any ideas? [19:09] stdin, i disagree someone asked me how to do something, the answer closely resembled a millacious command,.,. i warned them of the malicious command,.,. i will post that command when i see nescasery [19:10] Jack_Sparrow, why doesn't the orange bar show on my screen as ubuntu 7.10 is loading?? [19:10] So, I have an intruder. There's a process running called 'crond' and I can't seem to find the binary for it using locate, find, or whereis... any suggestions? [19:10] bod_ locate uses comand line right? [19:10] bod_: this is not my opinion, this is channel policy [19:10] manatatas, yes [19:10] is there any gui way? [19:10] how would I scan a network to see what samba shares I can mount? [19:10] stdin, ok, well il bare that in mind thanks [19:11] any ideas?

[19:13] manatatas, under your places menu at the top of the screen [19:13] carrera, you want the second post -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=454392&page=3 [19:13] manatatas, not sure [19:13] e ai marotão!

I've found a program, xournal, that allows me to write on top of a pdf like I was writing on paper with a pen or sending it through a type writer, but I can't find anything to let me do stickynote style annotations like I can in Windows or you can in Mac OS X [19:15] hi, can someone help me with my BIND setup running 7.10 server?

[19:21] !root | tomvolek_ [19:21] where can i readup on it... can I schedule backups with it [19:21] tomvolek_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:21] should i download the ati drivers by the restricted drivers or manualy? [19:21] is there a way to search a specific file format for an instance of a phrase inside it? example (ls(not sure what goes there instead of ls) *.conf | grep top_panel_screen > /home/sfears/Desktop/outputtextfile) [19:22] mad_max02: well, it's a 'must try' application if you are architect [19:22] someone hacked my comp i want to find out who did and and i want them in jail [19:22] how do i find out who did it? [19:22] hi [19:22] Itaku, first explain what happened. [19:22] sureshot, yer sudo chmod 777 but that is completely insecure, ask the channel what permissions you should use, tell them what you will be using he files for,.,. probably you want 755 [19:22] Itaku...is this a business or personal?

[19:23] this is prolly waaaay off topic but does anyone know of a deluge setup tutorial similar to the azureus wiki? [19:23] ltcabral: without looking on the URL I can say you'd just need to install Mac4Lin [19:23] all my photos are gone [19:24] haha thx [19:24] Hi all, I have a small network of Linux boxes, whats a good backup package wich can do incremental backups ? [19:24] i want them in fedral prison [19:24] nobody_, mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdXX [19:24] Itaku: probably ain't gonna happen [19:24] itaku, hmm u still have memories :) so move on hmm is like water [19:24] renfrew, just ask a question here or in #deluge [19:24] but my comp was hacked [19:24] against the law [19:24] nobody_ you need to have partition editor installed... sudo apt-get install gparted... then use it on the unmounted volume to repartition and formet it [19:24] i want them in jail [19:24] Well, life's hard [19:24] when i try to start my comp i get Error 15 [19:24] bod : why does it work when i m dir and copy files but i dont get permission to look in dir when i copy a complete dir [19:24] ltcabral: there is a whole bunch of ways to change your GNOME appearance into something more macish [19:25] Itaku: did they log in as root or another user? [19:25] anyone have a URL for setting up routing (not nat, just routing) [19:25] Itaku: we cant help you with legal issues. [19:25] i think root cuz they deleted everything [19:25] Itaku: Examine the auth.log or archived ones in /var/log for ssh logins from foreign addresses, then look up the ip/block abd report to abuse@whoeverowns it along with the log adjusted for GMT [19:25] Itaku, people's computers are hacked every single day. Each person wants justice. [19:25] renfrew, thanksS [19:25] Itaku, then you have no way of finding out (unless your router keeps logs) [19:25] it should be 'easy' but .. it;s all setup, and it aint routing. [19:25] didn't know there was a deluge lol... been off IRC for ages.. thx DRebellion [19:25] on ubuntu, if I start up a game (say urt or scummvm) and put it in fullscreen it doesn't actually become fullscreen, it just slaps on a black border. what is causing this and how do I fix it ? [19:25] Best advice is to always save an external backup. [19:25] uh [19:25] Hi all, I have a small network of Linux boxes, whats a good backup package wich can do incremental backups ? [19:25] odder: well its not exactly "machish" what i want... ive seen this icon bar style in some other screenshots [19:25] they deleted /var/log [19:26] Hi all [19:26] Itaku: How were they able to do that? And how can I prevent that happening to my computer? (shudders) [19:26] i dont know [19:26] its just gone [19:26] Itaku: Had you enabled the root user? were you using simple passwords? if you had ssh enabled and all of that theres really nothing thats Ubuntu's fault there. [19:26] on ubuntu, if I start up a game (say urt or scummvm) and put it in fullscreen it doesn't actually become fullscreen, it just slaps on a black border. what is causing this and how do I fix it ? [19:26] Itaku: Then your recorse there is contact your ISP and ask for records of the times in question [19:26] im new to ubuntu and just installed server from CD - but cant seem to SU keeps saying login incorrect. [19:26] *recourse [19:26] Use better passwords, and don't use untrusted software [19:26] ubuntu is not secure? [19:26] Can anyone recommend a way to remove all X window apps on a machine, or most? This is for gnome [19:26] MtJB, ubuntu is perfectly secure. he used bad passwords and enabled root (bad idea) [19:27] MtJB: Any system is as secure as it's passwords [19:27] i use trusted software like mirc pidgin and shit but he hacked through sshd [19:27] MtJB, from wat I've seen, Ubuntu is secure, it's waht the user allows and doesn't allow. [19:27] Itaku, how do you know it was sshd? [19:27] sorry for my language but im just pissed [19:27] !language | Itaku [19:27] Itaku: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:27] DRebellion, really bad idea o.0 [19:27] cuz there was no other way [19:27] ^Itaku: ur system will be always hacked hmmm till one day u realise that there is far more advanced system around u hmm and there is nothing to lose :) [19:27] So Itaku's case can only happen if the hacker/cracker has the root passwd? [19:27] !root | Soal_Reap [19:27] Soal_Reap: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

If it were done by someone who really knew what they were doing, they wouldn't have wiped your system; they would have used it.

[19:28] yes [19:28] Itaku, how do you know it's a he? Is this someone you know that did this to you to get you mad? [19:28] he used to be my friend [19:28] Starnestommy: ok, I think i'm safe then... :-D [19:28] now hes hacking me to hell [19:28] Itaku: We explain in many places that we don't support that. [19:28] thanks for the help.. RL calls ;) [19:28] do i have to change permission when i copy dir with files inside to /var/www ? [19:28] !noroot | Itaku [19:28] Itaku: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [19:29] So it sounds like an old friend stabbed you in the back with info that you may have shared with him and now you want top level punishment. [19:29] o0.0 [19:29] I have a problem and wonder if anyone can help...I am trying to run ubuntu on my mac using parallels desktop. When it tries to install, the screen rez flickers back and forth between settings and then tells me, after a few times, that it can't resolve the problem.....any suggestions? [19:29] That isn't supported here...that I know of... [19:29] !offtopic [19:29] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:29] hey, I think my main problem is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d22d3c3cc (that is, ttf-opensymbol cant' finish configurating), what could be the solve? [19:29] That sounds like a civil court thing. [19:29] cl3tUs: correct [19:29] So can anyone ssh into my computer? [19:29] hell i want him executed but i know that isnt going to happen [19:29] Itaku: run firestarter [19:29] Odd-rationale: as long as you didnt install sshd no [19:29] Odd-rationale, only if you enable sshd [19:29] whatabout REVOLUTION lol [19:29] Pici: do i have to change permission when i cp - r a directory? [19:30] root: freedom lol [19:30] DRebellion: How would I know? [19:30] Odd-rationale: they would need the password of a user with ssh access [19:30] sureshot: use cp -ar [19:30] is it safe to install my at graphic card driver by the restricted drivers manager? [19:30] what is the key [19:30] god damnit this sucks [19:30] sureshot: To preserve permissions while copying use -p [19:30] Odd-rationale, if you haven't installed it, don't worry [19:30] Starnestommy: Ah, so password is the key. ok. I use diceware :) [19:30] is running lol [19:30] ltcabral: yes that just means its not open source [19:30] sureshot: Or -a for archive as jsz suggests [19:30] Odd-rationale, simply only allow ssh-acces via public-key-auth and forbidd password auth [19:31] thanx for help , hmm yo , and c u all in lol [19:31] ive looked at the page and tried sudo still asks for password and then gives a sendmail 'failed to open /etc/postfix/main.cf' [19:31] genii: right. it saves permission too. [19:31] DASPRiD: ok Thanks guys. [19:31] jsz and genii :oki will try ty [19:31] anyone? [19:32] sureshot: use -p key =) [19:32] I need some help from anyone willing to help me with an odd issue. [19:32] !anyone | cl3tUs [19:32] cl3tUs: 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? [19:32] ryg9I: hi! where R U from? ;) [19:32] !u | jsz [19:32] jsz: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [19:33] ubot3, I did...about 3 times and nobody assisted.

When it tries to install, the screen rez flickers back and forth between settings and then tells me, after a few times, that it can't resolve the problem.....any suggestions? [19:33] That was awesome. [19:35] a hoy hoy [19:35] hmmm....am i not asking my question in the right way, or... [19:36] <^u^> fzywzy, it's about the mac in a linux channel... [19:36] can anyone tell me what my problem is with the GAIM IM? im running on 6.06 [19:36] well, i understand, but im trying to run ubuntu on it [19:36] i thought that was relevant [19:37] balle: the ubuntu gaim packages suck ever since... compile the newest version from www.pidgin.im [19:37] <^u^> fzywzy, is the hardware even supported? [19:37] balle, or upgrade to a recent ubuntu version, which has pidgin already :) [19:37] unsure...don't know how to tell (new to linux) [19:37] what key is "lower enter"? [19:37] is that the keypad Enter key? [19:37] <^u^> fzywzy, did the live cd run ok? [19:38] Seveas: as i said... the gaim/pidgin packages in ubuntu are barely usable [19:38] CaBa, bollocks. [19:38] caba thx ;) [19:38] in ubuntu 6.06 perhaps, but that's old stuff :) [19:38] the ubuntu 7.10 packages are perfectly fine [19:38] CaBa: whats wrong with pidgin ? [19:38] acually, i didn't try that....the install cd gives me the option to boot from disk, should i try that first? will it make a difference? [19:39] lordleemo: nothing is wrong with pidgin. but with the ubuntu packages ;) [19:39] what core should i choose in pidgin, i'm running ubuntu 6.06 [19:39] hrm.. everytime i try the sudo cmd i keep getting 'sendmail: faital: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: no such file or dir' tried to reconfigure postfix but get same error everytime [19:39] CaBa: must be your problem mate mine here is perfectly fine [19:39] <^u^> !hardware | fzywzy [19:39] fzywzy: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [19:40] Seveas: if you are using the feisty / gutsy pidgin you dont know what you are missing ;) [19:40] Soal_Reap, if main.cf is missing and postfix is installed: apt-get install --reinstall --force-confmiss postfix [19:40] thanks ubot, i'll try that [19:40] hi everyone [19:40] i have a problem with dsp [19:40] ok ill try that [19:40] CaBa, running gutsy and hardy, I don't see a difference between them [19:40] CaBa: gutsy pidgin is tops pal [19:40] I removed kde and some libraries accidently, how do I get those libraries back? [19:40] hmm, any reccomendations an an all purpous IM client for ubuntu? [19:41] balle, pidgin [19:41] reikalusikka: sudo apt-get kde* ? [19:41] balle: Pidgin? [19:41] balle, or kopete if you use kde [19:41] reikalusikka: sorry, sudo apt-get install kde* [19:41] balle: pidgin is perfectly fine... if you are confused, pidgin is the new name of gaim [19:41] yea i know, pidgin but what dl should i do? [19:41] is it a ecurity risk if as a user I can see /etc/passwd on a server? [19:41] * security [19:41] zedster: But I don't want to install kde [19:41] @caba yea, but what DL should i take [19:41] yesterday i was playing at enemy territory and everything worked..sound too..then while using tuxguitar i started to have problems with audio, installed alsa-oss and rebooted...now after a few reboots enemy territory keeps telling me that can't map /dev/dsp...what can i do [19:41] Emilian, no, it's even a requirement that that file is world readable [19:41] balle: if you dont know what kind of computer you have you should probably not use it ;) [19:42] balle: pidgin is in repositories, no downloading needed [19:42] reikalusikka: what are you trying to do, I misunderstood then [19:42] genii: not in the dapper reps ^^ [19:42] @caba i do but no ubuntu DL is listet [19:42] balle, sudo apt-get install pidgin [19:42] balle, then go for debian [19:42] CaBa: Ah, this is true [19:42] :P [19:42] says --force-confmiss is not understood [19:42] THX! [19:42] Hello, what program would i use to check the SMART status of my hard drive? i think its dying but i want to make sure. [19:43] balle: as i said... 'compile' the newest version - to do so you will probably need the source ;) [19:43] zedster: Some applications don't work now after I removed kde, they worked fine before installing kde [19:43] Seveas: afaik there is no deb package on the pidgin site [19:43] some web applications [19:43] Polygon89: smartools [19:43] reikalusikka: ok sudo apt-get build-dep name of package [19:44] balle: A deb of pidgin for 6.06 seems to be found here http://drsjlazar.blogspot.com/2007/05/pidgin-for-dapper.html [19:44] reikalusikka: you most have dumped some libs you needed [19:44] /bin/sh: cannot create .tmp_versions/bcm43xx.mod: Directory nonexistent [19:44] hello how can i fix that? === jsz is now known as maxc [19:44] Hello, what program would i use to check the SMART status of my hard drive? i think its dying but i want to make sure.

[19:45] Seveas, i'm compiling my kernel :| [19:45] if you know the name of the programs not working ie build-dep firefox [19:45] it is a make file [19:45] when i hit DELETE, the folder gets totally erased .. how to stop this behaviour and make the folder to go to trash ? [19:45] Going to be building an SMTp server running Postfix, Ubuntu Server or Xubuntu? === md5 is now known as md5x [19:46] bieb: if you want server only then ubuntu server [19:46] genii: well each time some of the providers change the protocoll you need a fix... i dont think some ancient deb from 2005 will make him so lucky ;) [19:46] This might be offtopic, but if someone with your root/admin passwd can ssh into your system and have absolute control, is it any easier for them if you are using windows? or about the same. Just curious... [19:47] zedster: ok I have a problem,0 upgraded, 75 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [19:47] for pidgin 2.4 latest deb package http://www.getdeb.net/app/Pidgin [19:47] its the same [19:47] rsk does ubuntu server have X? or is that the difference between the 2? [19:47] E: Package libsnmp10-dev has no installation candidate [19:47] E: Failed to process build dependencies [19:47] thx for help, on another note, would it be wise fo rme to update to 7.10 NOW or should i wait a bit? [19:47] Odd-rationale: harder, unless the windows machine is running vnc, ssh, ot something sililar === CaBa is now known as CaBa| [19:47] other words: is it very tedious?

[19:48] Q: how to make a folder go to TRASH after hitting DELETE key ? right now i deleted 2 folders using delete key .. they are not there in trash can .. Q2: also, is there undelete util in ubuntu ? ] [19:48] jsz: you may want to change your password. Also, remove the space before the / [19:48] tried the apt-get install --reinstall --force-confmiss postfix - says --force-confmiss not understood, tried -force-confmiss postfix says -force must have an =. [19:48] how do i mount my firewire external drive, its NTFS [19:48] Odd-rationale: viruses can also hijack windows accounts [19:48] zedster: Might have, what should I do? [19:48] reikalusikka: hit yes and install the 75 files [19:48] rsk: you really recommend him upgrading to gutsy 4 weeks before the next stable release? [19:49] zedster: I can't that's the problem [19:49] rsk: does ubuntu server have X? or is that the difference between the 2? [19:49] Jack_Sparrow: u there captain ? [19:49] reikalusikka: explain, what happens? [19:49] I'll be damned! :( [19:49] zedster: that what I pasted [19:49] CaBa|: upgrading usually dosen't break. unless he has modem i wouldnt disagree with upgrading [19:49] my external firewire NTFS volume shows that it is there, when i choose mount, i get a message that says "Cannot mount volume" [19:49] Starnestommy: ok. That is good to know. It doesn't make me like linux less, it simply reminds me that no one is immortal... :) [19:49] I wrote what you said and "php5" [19:49] bieb: ubuntu server has LAMP and x [19:49] then it said I need 75 packages and gives an error [19:49] ok === jsz is now known as maxs [19:50] rsk: is there an advantage to having X available on the server? [19:50] bieb: if you prefer GUI configuration over console configuration then yes [19:51] Q: how to make a folder go to TRASH after hitting DELETE key ? right now i deleted 2 folders using delete key .. they are not there in trash can .. Q2: also, is there undelete util in ubuntu ? [19:52] Linux_Freshe1: Are those files hidden files? e.g. .file [19:52] #ubuntu-fr [19:52] Odd-rationale: nope .. not hidden .. basically movies i have seen .. i accidentally deleted one that i had not seen .. [19:53] Linux_Freshe1: well, afaik there's no possibility to restore such files on the ext3 filesystem, so you've got the answer on your 2nd question [19:53] odder: is there a way to pop up a confirmation message when i hit the delete key ? [19:53] odder: or answer to above Q1 ? [19:54] Linux_Freshe1: As for your other question, there is no restore feature in ubuntu *yet*. From what I read, hardy may have this feature. As a side note, kubuntu already has the restore feature. [19:54] odder: well ... if you umount the fs immediately you do have a chance ;) [19:54] CaBa|: yes, that's the only possibility ;> [19:54] Linux_Freshe1: I keep asking Google on Q1 [19:55] odder: umm .. will give it a go .. brb [19:55] I try copy directory with permissions but i get answear cp: omitting directory [19:55] <^d4rk^> hii [19:55] sureshot, cp -r [19:55] <^d4rk^> :D [19:56] forget it... gona reinstall without sendmail.... duno how to fix that crap [19:56] Seveas: but i have to have permissins do i do cp -pr or? [19:56] sureshot, cp -a :) [19:57] Seveas: is that with permissions u mean? [19:57] odder: nothing much there on google .. people have other problem there that their trash has folders in it but keeps showing it as empty on tooltip [19:57] Hi, my HDA intel soundcard doesn't work even after following this tut: HdaIntelSoundHowto can someon help me? [19:57] does anybody else only get about 80kB/s from the main ubuntu archive? i used to blitz it... [19:57] Linux_Freshe1: what app were you using when you deleted the file? [19:57] sureshot, yup -- read manpage for details [19:57] hola? [19:57] Seveas: it says retain -a retain archival attributes [19:58] isnt that just the structure? [19:58] sureshot, that's not on ubuntu then [19:58] upgrading from gutsy to hardy alpha6: get the following error: Error authenticating some packages, does anyone know what might be wrong? [19:58] -a, --archive [19:58] same as -dpR [19:58] drc: Nautilus 2.20.0 [19:58] upgrading from gutsy to hardy alpha6: get the following error: Error authenticating some packages, does anyone know what might be wrong?

[19:59] i'm fighting with a nforce sata controller, gutsy tells me the drive times out (used to work on other sata controllers). any way to disable ahci? [19:59] odder: Sorry. I meant file sent to ~/.Trash i.e. the traxh bin. [19:59] *trash [19:59] гружусь в recovery mode, норм..все загрузилось.. гружусь в обычном - Kernel alive и глохнет :(( [20:00] !ru | vladimir_ [20:00] im having problems logging into the ubuntu wiki w/ my lauchpad account info. it keeps telling me incorrect password (even after I've changed it) [20:00] vladimir_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:00] Seveas:good worked:) [20:00] Oh..I'm sorry [20:00] Hello, is there anyone who managed to install his ATI RADEON X600 Drivers for Ubuntu 7.10 ? [20:00] .. [sudo] password for user: , user is not in the sudoers file. <--- i only have 1 user and hes not in it... [20:00] Odd-rationale: any possibility of changing the nautulus behaviour ? that when i hit delete, files shouldnt disappear totally, they should go to trash can ? [20:01] Linux_Freshe1: I just tried using the delete key in Nautilus 2.20.0 and my delete(s) went to the trashcan by default. I don't I've made any changes to Nautilus 2.20.0's config, so I wonder why yours didn't [20:01] For some reason when I play music, windows start to freeze from time to time. banshee, rhythmbox, mpd, it does not matter. Is alsa clogging the cpu? [20:01] microwaver: Probably, but have you tried Envy? [20:01] Linux_Freshe1: By default they should go to the trashbin. Double ckeck in Edit -> Prefences. [20:01] Achoth, how do you mean? [20:01] Linux_Freshe1: well, I'm not using Ubuntu atm, maybe try using gconf-editor? [20:01] SpookyET: Is _Windows_ freezing? O.o [20:01] Hi. Is it just me, or is the default kernel only compiled for uni kernel? [20:02] Odd-rationale: i havent ever gone in any prefes .. but will double check if u say [20:02] hpw do i gain access to my hda5? [20:02] uni cpu core [20:02] :) [20:02] microwaver: It's a program, http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [20:02] Linux_Freshe1: How was the volume mounted? [20:02] Achoth: yeah. The music is playing [20:02] hey, does upgrading to hardy improve battery life on notebooks? [20:02] odder: Becuase currently, when you put files into the trash bin, there is no way to restore them to their original locations. Which can be quite a disater if those files was your music collection... [20:02] empirically speaking, that is [20:02] Achoth, Let me try that. Thanks for the info. [20:03] !info java [20:03] Achoth, can I just get it with the apt-get install? [20:03] Package java does not exist in gutsy [20:03] !java [20:03] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [20:03] SpookyET: Oh! I thought you meant like Windows XP :P [20:03] drc: erm .. not sure .. its 80 gb sata hard drive where i have given 1 gb to swap file and 4 gbs to ubuntu .. the 4 gbs is formatted to ext3, the 1 gb is swap, and rest is ntfs windows partition [20:03] Odd-rationale: well, if you use drag&drop, that's possible [20:03] microwaver: No you can not [20:03] Achoth, Ok. [20:03] Linux_Freshe1: Is it files from your / partition or external hdd ? [20:04] Achoth: the players i mentioned don't run on windows xp [20:04] Odd-rationale: there is one option under nautulus behaviour which says "include a delete command that bypasses trash" .. its not checked . [20:04] odder: Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted them from rhythmbox :( [20:04] Odd-rationale: the movie which accidentally got deleted was from NTFS windows partition [20:04] what is the recomended way to install the nvidia binary drivers? [20:05] Achoth, let's hopet his works, cuz a 650* 480 screen isn't very handy :-) [20:05] bash: /home/balle/Desktop/pidgin-2.4.0.tar.bz2: Permission denied why ohh why!? [20:05] SpookyET: Unless you use Cygwin :o but it was just a missunderstanding, sorry [20:05] why do I get a Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... on a fresh install [20:05] Linux_Freshe1: Not sure but I'll bet that's it [20:05] do i have to download the linux headers? [20:05] Balle, directory permission? try to chmod them? [20:05] Linux_Freshe1: OK. Then the story is completely differnet. If you press delete fram a external fat or ntfs partitoin they are GONE! [20:05] Linux_Freshe1: according to Launchpad, there's an option in gconf, try https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/118988/comments/1 [20:05] balle, sudo chmod 777 pidgin-2.4.0.tar.bz2 [20:05] why do I get a Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... on a fresh install? [20:05] carrera: It's not required [20:05] I have one question,: what is the different between hda and sda? [20:05] !repeat | carrera (please don't repeat) [20:05] Flannel, but i don't have the Orange Bar when I boot [20:06] Odd-rationale: okies, its then not a bug, but surely a warning message should pop up saying that the file will be gone and wont be moved to trash [20:06] carrera (please don't repeat): Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [20:06] carrera: it's Flare183 [20:06] Odd-rationale: where can i put such suggestion ? [20:06] MrPower: hda is the first IDE drive, sda is the first SATA drive [20:06] ok thx [20:06] carrera: 2 different things [20:06] chmod: cannot access `pidgin-2.4.9.tar.bz2': No such file or director [20:06] thanks Flare183 [20:06] carrera: no problem [20:07] Linux_Freshe1: maybe http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [20:07] drc: tx [20:07] Flare183, but when I installed ubuntu 7.10 from the same CD on a friends laptop, the Orange Bar shows on boot [20:07] that's weird [20:07] balle, put /home/balle/Desktop/pidgin..... [20:07] balle: you must not _run_ that file [20:07] carrera: it's supposed to [20:08] balle: you should unpack it [20:08] carrera: does it do that on yours? [20:08] Hi, my HDA intel soundcard doesn't work even after following this tut: HdaIntelSoundHowto can someon help me? [20:08] Flannel, then why doesn't it show on mine? [20:08] i have unpacked it [20:08] aha! [20:08] yeureka! i think i got i down now [20:08] Flare183, No, it doesn't show on mine [20:08] carrera: because it is not enabled on the grub menu [20:08] Linux_Freshe1: Files on your local filesystem are stored in your ~/.Trash directory. If you have an external ext3 hdd, then pressing the delete key moves them to that drive's own .Trash folder. ntfs of course is not an officially supprted linux filesytem. I don't know about the other filesystems. [20:08] hi guys i need a way to get an ip when i have a MAC in ubuntu i tried packetit but i get no answer pls anyone? [20:08] carrera: or it could be that your graphics card can't handle it [20:09] Flare183, hmmm... [20:09] hey guys, can i load emerald themes with compiz [20:09] arang2, so, a computer on your network has a mac address you know but you want its ip address? [20:09] DRebellion: yes [20:09] Flare183, that could be it, as I installed from the same CD on both laptops [20:09] arang2, and your own ip is?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:10] arang2, yes but i need it to give you the syntax [20:10] odder: theres no emerald theme icon...

[20:12] DRebellion: alright ill do so [20:12] ltcabral: well, installing emerald sounds a proper thing to do ;> [20:12] Linux_Freshe1: The same rules apply in the windows world as well, delete file on a network mounted drive and it won't show up in your trashcan...at least the way the admins at work have it set up :) [20:12] Odd-rationale: its kubuntu i guess [20:12] caba: sure it does but i dont know fuck of what i'm supposed to do with it now, tried sudo the stuff, no permisson, chod(maybe) and it says it doesnt exist [20:12] Flare183, right, i have # defoptions=quiet splash [20:12] safar, technically: yes. in reality, it depends if your bios supports booting from sd card [20:12] balle: query [20:12] !language | balle [20:12] ahh sry! [20:12] balle: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:12] yeah its support [20:12] sure will [20:12] but how i can do it install ubuntu in to SD [20:13] carrera: if you have splash in the that line then it should come up [20:13] Raidu: then on the bottom, go to mounted drives and media. (if I remember correctly) [20:13] hmm... [20:13] * balle beats self with un-idiot stick [20:13] carrera: if it doesn't then, it is your Graphics card [20:13] Flare183, it never has [20:13] i have copied dir with files index.php to var/www/newdir/ but when i try index.php it says i dont have permissions to access on this server, how come?

Very few of those provide any linux drivers or support booting like a usb flash drive would [20:14] safar: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.

[20:15] sureshot, chmod 755 index.php [20:15] hi. i had strange emask problems and read that my sata disk could be dying. i bought a new one and replaced the old, copied all data and had two weeks without problems. now i get the same error messages. even my bios/bootloader behaves unusual sometimes (no vga signal, slow reaction); so it can't be a hard drive or software problem. i searched some more and found people insisting that this could be caused by sata cable/power supply/chipset/damaged [20:15] sata controler problems. how do i find out? [20:15] safar, Is that sd card reader built in or usb external? [20:16] Guys what do you think any ideas http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=721638&highlight=freeze [20:16] caba: well... turns out i do not need help then, self help and persistance(spl) ftw [20:16] built in [20:16] Flare183 : sude chmode or?

I suppose the procedure would be the same as putting it on a sd card. In the partiton step, format the sd card as ext2 and mount it as root. and on the install grub step, make sure to specify to instal grub on the sd card not the internal hdd. [20:22] OpenOffice spell check is terrible....apparantly any plural word is spelt wrong...is there a better dictionary out there?

(which were there by default, or placed by debootstrap; didn't do it myself) [20:39] i then put ndis in my modules for boot [20:39] isaacj87, how much RAM do u have? [20:39] then i blacklist my old drviers [20:39] am i missing naything [20:39] ? [20:39] newbie question... [20:39] any1? [20:39] what is a udf volume [20:39] i've a working grub installation on /dev/sda. if i run grub-install /dev/sdb within the ubuntu system, it finishes without problems, but grub on that partition tells me that no partition can be found. what's wrong? [20:39] carrera, only 1.25gb [20:39] !ask | nasra [20:39] nasra: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:40] MaximusBrood-> you are running lvm or somekind of raid? am surprised it even booted [20:40] Jack_Sparrow: i can import the theme... but it wont load when i select it in the themes list [20:40] just installed the ubuntu...(did not work for me motherboard cooked)....now what will be a good spectrum of a good system to run fast on ubuntu? [20:40] thanks [20:40] when hardy comes ubuntu 7.10 can auto upgrade to it or needs full re-installation ? [20:40] i have a question, i just got my new ubuntu laptop (i'm not new to ubuntu) and i find that the sources.list arent exactly what i want them to be, since dell i suppose changed them? could i copy my sources.list from my desktop to my laptop, apt-get update and then all will be fine? [20:40] What would make the file browser not display partition names and give an error "Feature only available with HAL" [20:40] Thanks Jack_Sparrow, i'll give it a go now. Thanks alot. [20:41] jvm what is your exact command for that? [20:41] ltcabral, No idea.. ask for info where you got the theme. many I have found are incomplete from the picture you see of them [20:41] have to start from scratch... [20:41] GrantMynott, k [20:41] carrera, what OS are you trying to install? [20:41] isaacj87, i was trying to install Win XP [20:42] HAL is running btw [20:42] Jack_Sparrow: hi captain [20:42] Jack_Sparrow, well i tried with 3 diff themes and none worked... ill try some others and find out thx [20:42] amenado: To be honest, I don't know exactly as I don't have physical access to the server. I do know that my non-scsi drive -- which is just /dev/hda in Debian -- suddently changed to /dev/sda in Ubunutu (probably because it's sata), that might be related. How can I find out more about the system's disk configuration? [20:42] :) [20:42] Chris|-> yes you have full control of your source.list make a copy before modifying though, put your own and upgrade [20:42] carrera, try using virtualbox...it's much easier to install XP with VB [20:42] ok amenado so i shouldnt have a problem? [20:42] amenado, grub-install /dev/sdb [20:43] nobody answers... [20:43] how do i mount a filesystem that's on a volume group if something happened to the volume group and it's "not there" anymore? [20:43] isaacj87, thanks. btw, I searched for vmware in Add/Remove Apps to no avail!!! [20:43] MaximusBrood-> newer linux uses /devsdX emulating all scsi [20:43] buonasera [20:43] amenado: Of course, I meant Ubuntu* there ;) [20:43] inglesi ? [20:43] Q: Hmm - when I click on some video links in Firefox, totem starts up and plays the media - showing the file name in the title bar. I can't find that file on the hard drive. Anyone know where this is cached? [20:43] Oo [20:43] Chris|-> i dont think you would [20:43] ok [20:43] thanks [20:44] MaximusBrood-> yes, ubuntu uses that newer style [20:44] amenado: Yeah, somebody told me that too yesterday. You think it is related? [20:44] desertc: try /tmp for instance [20:44] carrera, make sure you show "All Available Applications" [20:44] odder: I looked in /tmp - no dice. You can see this effect here: http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/walle/hd/ [20:44] jvm try grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sdb1 assuming its sdb1 [20:45] desertc, Let us know if you figure that out... [20:45] hello [20:45] I have a simple script that I made that changes the MAC address of my laptops wifi card [20:45] I want this to take effect instantly when the computer boots instead of running it manually [20:45] how would I manage this? I have tried putting it in sessions [20:45] carrera, in Add/Remove Apps...where it says "Show:" choose "All available applications" [20:45] isaacj87, that was exactly the problem, but I only found vmware player [20:45] MaximusBrood-> i didnt get what is related, but you can remove rc.local if those entry does not pertain to your system [20:45] Jack_Sparrow: I asked in the gnome support - no response [20:45] carrera, hmmm weird [20:45] amenado, i need it directly on /dev/sdb for the bios to recognize it, or not? [20:45] carrera, are you on Gutsy? [20:45] jvm i gave you the exact command [20:45] isaacj87, also check this out: VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [20:46] desertc, Providers are trying very hard to not let you save those files [20:46] does any1 know where is the files that the automatix2 download? which dir? [20:46] yes, isaacj87, i'm on 7.10 [20:46] carrera, ahhhhh are you running 64bit? [20:46] ygorabreu_br_spa, bad idea [20:46] no isaacj87 [20:46] how can i restart apache in terminal ? [20:46] !automatix [20:46] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [20:46] Jack_Sparrow: of course - they would DRM my eyeballs if they could [20:46] orudie, i think you send it SIGHUP if i remember correctly [20:47] amenado: With related I meant the disk-layout oriented commands in rc.local and the newer style with disks (hda -> sda) causing the problem. [20:47] hi people! - im jsut wondering does the character "." at the begining if a folder name mean that it is hidden? [20:47] skillz, yes [20:47] so how do i allow a script to run at start up? [20:47] !startup | osia [20:47] osia: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [20:47] dose anyone no what a udf volume is [20:47] carrera, hmmm that's really weird then. maybe vmware server got taken out of the gutsy repos? in any case, definitely give virtualbox a try...it's open source anyways :) [20:47] [Jack_Sparrow]: yes..im aware... but do you know where are the files that automatix download? no idea right? hehe [20:47] amenado, thank you, i'll try later when rebooting. [20:47] carrera, see i'm still on feisty and it was in there [20:47] DRebellion, thanks for the reply - how do you allow ubuntu to show hidden files and folders? [20:47] ive tried that [20:47] the program doesnt run [20:47] mac address hasnt changed [20:47] ive made the owner of the file root as well [20:47] so it should [20:48] osia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:48] ygorabreu_br_spa, Nope... only suggetion I can offer is restore from backup and dont do that [20:48] skillz, in nautilus? ctrl+h . in shell, ls -a [20:48] !enter | osia [20:48] osia: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:48] OpenArena and Nexus will only play in windowed mode. Even when set to full screeen, they play inside letterbox. I read somewhere that xgl causes these sorts of problems. Is that true, and how can i fix it? [20:48] will do, thanks isaacj87 [20:48] um, im on Ubuntu Gutsy.. jsut in the normal directories [20:48] in the GUI [20:48] im afraid thats how i type [20:48] thats how i type [20:48] not changing [20:48] osia: dunno, maybe try /etc/init.d/apache restart [20:48] skillz, ctrl+h to toggle hidden files shown/hidden [20:49] [Jack_Sparrow]: right..thx mate. [20:49] Okay Jack_Sparrow that didn't work, i'm guessing that its the wrong (hd0, *) bit. Could you give me the command so i can open i and write to it again please. I'll write it down this time. I'm such an idiot.. [20:49] osia, Uderstood, but stop.. it is rude to continue [20:49] isaacj87, check this comment for the VMware Player: VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [20:49] oh ok, kool, thanks. [20:49] one more thing [20:49] amenado: I removed the lines; still the same problem. Is there any way I can make the logs more verbose so I can see a little better as in to what is causing the problems? [20:49] how do i see how much disk space i have left.. ie in windows you can right click and view properties for My computer [20:49] how is this done in ubuntu? [20:49] GrantMynott, from gui gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst will allow you to save it [20:50] I have even tried to add the program to a run level but it doesnt run so any ideas? [20:50] skillz: Use 'df -h' [20:50] df -h [20:50] in terminal [20:50] MaximusBrood-> maybe you can see the syslog.conf and look around to make it more verbose [20:50] ok thanks guys! [20:50] amenado: Alright, thanks:) [20:50] Okay thanks alot Jack_Sparrow i'll try again. [20:50] skillz, or gnome-system-monitor [20:51] install kdiskfree [20:51] its just a front end to df command [20:51] GrantMynott, Make menu items for all the options... and edit only once [20:51] how can i restart apache in terminal ? [20:51] Good idea [20:51] apache2 that is [20:52] hi [20:52] what if i want to see how much space a folder take up [20:52] orudie: I don't use apache but it's probably something like /etc/init.d/apache --restart [20:52] Ciao a Tutti [20:52] ciao [20:52] hi there [20:52] do you guys know of any tag editor that writes the album cover to the file? [20:52] I'm running 32-bit Ubuntu and just recently upgraded to 4GB of memory. System Monitor is only reporting 3.2GB of memory (no surprise there). If I just upgrade my kernel to the AMD64 version, will that be enough to have all of my memory be recognized? [20:53] applications/system/disk usage analyzer skillz [20:53] Or will I need to "upgrade" my entire OS to the 64-bit version? [20:53] does ubuntu have have ACPI capability?

[20:55] do i just search for disk then? === fophillips is now known as eophillips [20:55] bthornton: probably it is safer to use the 32 bit kernel from hardy that supports (afaik) more memory through PAE [20:55] looking to get my games to run full screen in ubuntu, as opposed to windowed mode they seem stuck in now. OpenArena, Nexus, and Zsnes all seem to have this problem. If this a common problem, and how can i fix it? [20:55] ltcabral, Cairo-dock [20:55] search for "disk usage analyzer" skillz.

There must be some magic going on inside Totem to access the media. [21:01] What would make the file browser not display partition names and give an error "Feature only available with HAL" when trying to mount then via the GUI? HAL is running. [21:01] thankyou [21:01] then don't couch your explanation in ignorant gui terms like the menu editor has it unchecked, the menu editor doesn't have anything unchecked, the .desktop file is what is at hand [21:01] MilitantPotato, Question.. do you have multiple users setup. and are you on the admin account [21:02] admin account, single user [21:02] bruenig, why are we arguing over how to help someone? senseless :/ [21:02] MilitantPotato, Just a thought [21:02] dose any one no what a udf volume is [21:02] histo, what software can i use to replace itunes?

[22:13] jupp, ok thank you for trying [22:13] ltcabral: try customize [22:14] ltcabral; you have to change those manually.. i use awn and they do not update when changing themes or icons [22:14] techt0nix, just out of curiosity, how do you know that the card works fine? [22:15] jupp, it runs on windows fine [22:15] ltcabral; also try to restart awn after a theme has been installed. that may fix the icons [22:15] bastid_raZor: ooh.. and where do i change them manually? [22:15] techt0nix, I hate that answer ;) [22:15] Jupp, lol but dont that answer it? [22:16] ltcabral; to manually change icons on awn bar right the icon and properties.. it should have an option to change the icon.. i currently can not access awn so i'm pulling this from memory [22:16] techt0nix, yes! I would try other live cds (e.g. opensuse, fedora, etc) and see what happens [22:16] what bootloader does ubuntu use, grub ? [22:16] xcerca: yes GRUB === rm-rf_school is now known as darrick [22:16] AFAIK [22:17] yes.. grub [22:17] Xcerca: yes [22:17] jupp i thought about opensuse a few ppl has said that it works with nvidia cards great [22:17] does anyone know how to increase scrolling number of lines, I read a solution in ubuntu forums, but it doesn't work [22:17] How do I turn the system beep Down.... It is encredibly lowd [22:17] bastid_raZor: that list looks very similar to what I get on my working system ... [22:17] jupp, is Opensuse like ubuntu? or is it diff somehow [22:17] techt0nix, I would try it and maybe you can attribute the problem to Ubuntu [22:17] it is vert differnet [22:18] bastid_raZor: does /etc/gdm/Xsession have a setuid/setgid bit? (mine does not) [22:18] Xcerca: in what ways? [22:18] mc-george: in gnome-terminal? [22:18] BillyJoe: system beep annoyingly hard to configure.. I haven't been able to change what sound card it uses.. even less any other parameters.. such as volume etc [22:18] Xcerca, was u talking to me? [22:18] techt0nix, it has major differences but I think there are more similarities than differences ;) [22:19] hi all [22:19] i can set settings in system -> preferences -> advanced desktop effect settings [22:19] tritium: in firefox [22:19] but none of them work [22:19] jupp, well i am still new to linux does it use sudo commands? [22:19] thanks [22:19] any ideas? [22:19] mc-george: you can turn off the system-beep in preferences-sound preferences-system beep [22:19] tritium: system wide [22:19] jupp, also can i get KDE with it? [22:19] techt0nix: yes [22:19] !hi | steve_j [22:19] what's the best way on a server install to create an additional user with the same powers as my main user? [22:19] i would say mainly that it is corporate sponsored, make of that what you will, the program YaST is supposed to control all of you hardware and packages, but i didn't like it [22:19] azuki: i didnt ask that :P [22:19] i am trying to access one of my partitions named hda5, and i do not have the permission to do anything with it because i am not the owner of the partition, so how do i make it my own? [22:19] hi corny [22:19] BillyJoe: modprobe -r pcspkr maybe if that works just blacklist it course thatll kill it entirely [22:19] hi, I can't seem to boot in kubuntu (KDE) because I set the powermanager to shut down when the lid is closed. It always thinks the lid is closed, even if it's open- any suggestions? [22:19] techt0nix, yes it has sudo and yes you can get it with kde [22:19] Where are program files installed by default? I just used synaptic to install xmms and now I can't even find it when promted for a media player to use when i download a playlist? only rythmbox shows up. [22:19] it's not in .xmms [22:19] no ubotu answer? [22:19] artenius: /usr/bin [22:20] !ubotu [22:20] artenius: think "use you're bin" [22:20] derrik: to enable those setting you have to install the compiz package first, then it will be available [22:20] corny - adduser or useradd? [22:20] kestir: thanks bud [22:20] I was looking everywhere but there [22:20] jupp, ok thank you for all your help im gonna try Opensuse [22:20] techt0nix, but it your user is not on the sudoers list by default, when you install it, it will create a proper "root" account [22:20] s/you're/your [22:20] kestir: ? that translates to [22:20] "use you are bin" [22:20] mc-george: oh?... to soften I don't know :) [22:20] How do I change my my wifi interface? from eth1 to wifi0 ? [22:20] pike_ you rock that got rid of the sound... what is "blacklist" and how do I do it. [22:21] ok im going to reinstall from the cd and do my wirless the right way i found a good article on how to do it only prob is its not for gutsy will it still work > [22:21] steve_j: no clue. I don't use server edition [22:21] so are there any power management tools for laptops? my brightness doesn't change, my battery drains, it's not very fun T-T [22:21] loser, what it is for ? [22:21] BillyJoe: gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist just add the pcspkr to that list so ubuntu knows to not let it load at boot [22:21] techt0nix, in other words if you need to run something as root you would type #su, and it will prompt you for the root password [22:22] techt0nix, and then everything after will be done as root [22:22] pelo: 6.10 edgy [22:22] jupp. kinda like useing sudo -s -H ? [22:22] i am trying to access one of my partitions named hda5, and i do not have the permission to do anything with it because i am not the owner of the partition, so how do i make it my own? and i'm running 6.06 [22:22] BillyJoe: like blacklist pcspkr [22:22] techt0nix: sudo -i, rather than sudo -s -H [22:22] loser, stuff for previous release should still work on the later ones, I thought you meant it was for another distro like opensuse or redhat, proceed with confidence [22:22] tritium, my bad lol [22:22] techt0nix, yes but you'll put in the root password, not yours [22:22] hda5? I thought you could have no more than 4 partitions on one drive [22:22] Anyone that can help a newbie? [22:23] jupp, ok that dont sound to bad [22:23] balle, what kind of partition type is it (linux or windows?) [22:23] outstanding... [22:23] thank you [22:23] scr0tum: ask your question. someone will answer [22:23] corny, you can only have 4 primary partitons, you can have as many as you want logical ones [22:23] l815: it might be driver specific.. it works on my laptop (acer travelmate 6291) [22:23] Pelo: i [22:23] techt0nix, not at all, almost all linux distros work that way. Ubuntu is the exception (along with OSX) [22:23] Pelo: ic* [22:23] zenmae it is a ntfs, and previously windows [22:23] pelo: thanks yeah some how i got it to not see my wireless card at all just f***** with it so oi went and got another tutorial for ndiswrapper its for a different wirless card but all im going to do is change the commands and drivers to fit my card =P [22:24] geirha; i do not see it in mine either. [22:24] loser, best of luck, I've never had to deal with wifi so I can't realy help [22:24] Slart, but what are some options for solutions? I mean I need the increased battery time at college [22:24] What is the file that I can edit to change my wifi interface from eth1 to wifi0 ? [22:25] pelo: its cool if i need help i got to laptops running next to eachother ill be here the whole time i just needed to know if the version mattered [22:25] balle, have a look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [22:25] core_, not sure , in gui these things can usualy be done using the network manager in the admin menu [22:25] l815: I have no idea really.. I didn't have to do anything to my laptop.. it all worked out of the box.. you can try testing different acpi settings.. google for ubuntu +laptop model... look for errors in dmesg and syslog.. it's all a bit touch and go [22:26] !ntfs > zenmae read this [22:26] balle, you will have to use the ntfs 3g driver mentioned there [22:26] Slart, will do thanks [22:26] !ntfs [22:26] Quacuno italiano? [22:26] Pelo: ubotu is not responding [22:26] !ubotu [22:26] !it | giuseppe [22:26] will magicISO work on ubuntu? [22:26] bastid_raZor: oh hang on, it seg faults on line 57 of your paste. That's a bad sign. No way to see which process seg faulted though :/ [22:26] thanks pelo [22:26] I think the bot is malfunctioning [22:26] core_: go to /lib/network/interface try that [22:26] corny, the both is dead again , hold on [22:26] l815: and of course.. ask the people in here if anyone has the same laptop that you have =) [22:26] geirha; when you look at w in terminal do you have something similiar to tty7 /usr/bin/gnome-session [22:26] giuseppe, #ubuntu-it [22:26] hey does anyone know how to install gnome(ubuntu) over kubuntu [22:27] corny, I can'T do anyting about the bot , sorry [22:27] Slart, oh good idea :D [22:27] LoneWolf_Tigerpa: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop might do the trick [22:27] zenmae: what is the universe repository? [22:27] Pelo: who can? [22:27] anyone use a Vaio Fz240e laptop? [22:27] bastid_raZor: yes [22:27] i tried that [22:27] corny, some of the higher ops [22:27] zenmae: and thx!

Ubuntu 7.10 wont update properly [22:27] * Pelo wonders if anyone noticed his pun [22:27] grazie [22:27] loser thank you, bit this did not work. [22:27] geirha; previously it seg faulted right after emerald tried to load. since composite isn't loading compiz will not either.. [22:27] hey folks - I'm sitting in the live disk now installing, and i selected to re-size the HD and create the partition at 64gb of space. However the Please Wait screen is saying 'Resizing Partition' but it's been stuck at 0% for about an hour [22:28] however the systems hasn't hung up [22:28] can someone tell me if magicISO works on ubuntu? [22:28] is there something else i must install? [22:28] hi, any vmware users here? [22:28] techt0nix: I don't think you would need magicISO [22:28] LoneWolf_Tigerpa, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install the gnome and gnome programs , and if you want I can gert you a link to remove kubuntu and the related progs [22:28] geirha; i had a friend helping me previously (he ran out of ideas) and he was confused by /usr/bin/gnome-session .. he was thinking xsession-manager should be running instead [22:28] core_: does it have the value set for lo? [22:28] corny: i use magicISO to burn image cds [22:28] l815: here's one thread.. it's short.. but brings some hope =) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606829 [22:28] techt0nix: ubuntu has that ability built in [22:29] macogw, how to i get there? [22:29] * Pelo has to go , later folks [22:29] Slart, lol i happened to stumble on the same site [22:29] techt0nix: just right click the iso and it'll be obvious [22:29] macogw, ok ty [22:29] balle see my private message [22:29] techt0nix: if you double-click a .iso file it opens a prompt to write it to a CD with the default CD writer [22:29] techt0nix: i think it says "open with cd/dvd burner" [22:29] zenmae: i am writing to you in there [22:31] if i have eth0 and eth1, and eth0 connects to the internet and i want my ps3 to connect to the internet through eth1, does anybody know what I should be modifying in ubuntu? [22:31] loser, how do i check? [22:31] would it matter if im doing this all on a externaal drive or not? ubuntu didnt wanna install to it in the first place\ [22:31] I installed dual boot ubuntu on top of vista. All my mp3 files are in vista. How would I be able to play them from that partition? when I try to find the folder in xmms, it's only looking in / [22:31] hey folks - I'm sitting in the live disk now installing, and i selected to re-size the HD and create the partition at 64gb of space. However the Please Wait screen is saying 'Resizing Partition' but it's been stuck at 0% for about an hour. I want to know if it will be safe to stop and i haven't lost my Windows partition, and I can try the alternative installer [22:31] geirha; since i have gnome loading now and am able to login .. possibly editing xorg.conf to add those modules and composite .. might that be an idea or do i need to figure out GTK errors/warnings to solve it all? [22:31] also whats the command to boot without the loading bar? [22:32] core_: lemme find the exact extension [22:32] artenius: look in /media/[drivename] after mounting it [22:32] artenius, Places->Computer, you'll see your windows drive there... [22:32] mounting is like, mount /hda2? [22:32] artenius, double click it and it will mount it [22:33] I think I did that, it showed up on my desktop as HP: [22:33] cool [22:33] thanks [22:33] digitalspaghetti: is there an apply buttonon top? [22:33] Hey, If I want to transfer all my user data from one computer to another what folders should I transfer/ will it work to just transfer the files? [22:33] core_: /etc/networe/interfaces thats the network interfaces file [22:33] NW2190: /home/youusername/ [22:33] bastid_raZor: hard to say... depends on what segfaults really. And it's hard to figure out what or why. It's a problem that's more suited to ask at the forums or at launchpad I think [22:33] legend2440, no [22:33] hi, how do i set the monitor standby time in xubuntu? [22:33] привет всем) [22:33] kvas: #ubuntu-ru [22:34] ok [22:34] !ntfs [22:34] geirha; okay, thanks for your attempts to help. [22:34] macogw: ya I know that one, but which other ones? I'm basically trying to clone my computer entirely. [22:34] NW2190: well thats all your user files [22:34] ok this is off topic but why is my download speed so slow never was slow until i got ubuntu [22:34] I'm on Step 4 at the moment in the background, and the Please Wait modal is over it [22:34] ok but what about /usr/bin and sbin and all of those? [22:35] techt0nix: download speed depends on the server from which you download as well, but make sure you have ipv6 disabled [22:35] how do i get universe repository? [22:35] techt0nix: gksu gedit /etc/hosts [22:35] techt0nix: and put a # at the start of all ipv6 lines [22:35] balle: system -> admin -> software sources [22:35] balle: /etc/apt/sources.list should have it, it may be commented out [22:35] balle: check all the boxes [22:35] I guess a more appropriate question is which directories can I replace without interfering with the OS? [22:35] guess no one knows how to set the ubuntu monitor standby time' [22:36] core_: that work ? [22:36] NW2190: /home :) [22:36] Anyone here who got Compiz and video drivers working on ubuntu (ati radeon x600) [22:36] foxray: System > Prefences > power management [22:36] macogw, i have lines like fe00::0 ip6-localnet just make it #fe00::0 ip6-localnet ? [22:36] artenius: i'm in xubuntu, no such thing [22:36] NW2190: anything outside /home is OS system files [22:36] techt0nix: yep [22:36] techt0nix: then save it [22:36] macogw, ty [22:37] loser, i don't see any reference to eth1 in there. [22:37] macogw: Thank you for that one : techt0nix: and put a # at the start of all ipv6 lines [22:37] foxray: oh, sorry. you said ubuntu [22:37] macagw - i dont have the software sources available to me, oh btw i'm running 6.06 [22:37] core_: sorry then i got nothing buddy haha im working on my wireless as well [22:37] balle: oh..i thought that was in the menu, but ok open synaptic and look in the preferences [22:37] loser, lol thank you [22:37] macogw: but can't I replace some of the others without losing the functionality of the OS? [22:37] core_: what are you using to do yours? [22:38] ipwraw [22:38] NW2190: are you doing a reinstall and you want to keep data? because reinstall will replace all the rest anyway... [22:38] Can anyone help me get fusion running on my intel 845g? I ran "compiz --replace" in the terminal, and I get a seg fault after something about "starting gtk-window-decorator fusion" [22:38] ipwraw>>>????

[22:38] any opinions on a nice graphical system monitor in ubuntu? for the desktop [22:38] macagow: what is synaptic? [22:38] artenius: conky will show it on the desktop [22:39] balle: system -> administration -> synaptic package manager [22:39] anyone have a vaio fz240e that knows a program for power management (battery)? [22:39] balle: your package manager [22:39] balle: in synaptic go to settings -> repositories [22:39] okay um.. i have compiz stuff all installed... how do i activate it in kubuntu? [22:39] macogw: I like conky but I was hoping there might be a nicer looking one, to compliment compiz [22:39] geirha; on line 57 the seg fault is when it tries to load awn .. and awn requires compiz to be running.. that could be the reason [22:39] artenius: gkrellm's not so nice looking. do you like widgets? [22:40] macogw: I don't honestly know what widgets are yet [22:40] macogw: I have three hard drives so I'm just going to save all the data onto one of them, remove it, then install a new OS. I just want my comp to be the same when everythings done/ [22:40] hi, is it possible to change default ubuntu charset to UTF-8 without BOM? how?

[22:40] artenius: what version of ubuntu are you using? [22:40] artenius: the latest? [22:41] macogw: 7.10 [22:41] bastid_raZor: the log messages aren't necessarily sequential, but what's awn?

[22:41] Anyone here who got Compiz and video drivers working on ubuntu (ati radeon x600) [22:41] artenius: and you can launch them and tell them to autolaunch on start [22:41] geirha; avant window navigator.. a dock app [22:41] macogw: thanks [22:41] artenius: it requires that you have compiz going though [22:41] macogw, I don't have ipv6 disabled but I don't think I have a network problem, should I turn it off anyhow? [22:41] artenius: oh wait you said you had it [22:42] microwaver: do you have your video driver working and just need it to connect with compiz? [22:42] bastid_raZor: well, disabling it and see if that improves things might be worth a try :) [22:42] Jupp: if its not buggin you, dont worry about it. but it made me lose wireless signal all the time [22:42] macogw: yeah, should I use that link or just install via synaptic? [22:42] macogw: yes I'm using compiz [22:42] artenius: that one's more up to date / fixed [22:42] I have a logitech usb headset, asoundconf list shows the headset, but I\ve no idea how to set the headset up to actually use it ... I've never done it in linux before, can somebody help me out, or point me to a good how-to ? [22:42] macogw: ok thanks [22:42] macogw, really? it messed your wireless? how did you figure out it was ipv6? [22:43] Jupp: i know ipv6 can cause issues in general, so i took it as a hunch [22:43] cripps: sound under preferences menu [22:43] hmm, i find nothing if i search for universe repositorie [22:43] Jupp: ipv6 doesnt use DHCP [22:43] when do they plan to actually start using IPv6 [22:43] Jupp: so when a network is setup for DHCP it can get confused [22:43] atlef, any help for a command line user? [22:43] corny: itll probably be years before its all sorted out...the web is huge [22:43] macogw, thanks, did not now that.

Only using the external monitor though [22:50] sfears: mmmm... how is it i do that? [22:50] after i install the nvidia driver how do i go to nvidia settings to change the resolution ? [22:50] ls /dos [22:50] Ha, getting mad, can't seem to install a proper ATI Radeon X600 Driver [22:50] Xcerca: 'gksudo nvidia-settings' [22:51] Xcerca: apt-get nvidia-settings [22:51] how is it i check my /dos folder [22:51] hi, everybody [22:51] o alright , thanks [22:51] balle, in a terminal type "ls /dos" [22:51] brb [22:51] does anybody knows where alacarte gets the list of applications to load into menu? [22:51] sfears: No such file exists [22:51] bastid_raZor: my desktop computer with only one monitor also has those same messages [22:51] Are any ops active right now? ubotu is broken [22:52] DASPRiD: u prefer gnome over kde ? [22:52] BigNixN00B, yes [22:52] i like it simple [22:52] geirha; well that is a good thing i guess.. now to get compiz back up and running. [22:52] the problem is: I have installed application under wine, than deleted it. but I still can see this application in applications-others. when I try to delete this, using alacarte, it crashes [22:52] DASPRiD: lol i am told by some other guy that KDE is more stable, mature and is nearer to windows .. i am trying to convert to linux from windows and gnome isnt going too well for me [22:53] and all is ok, when I delete ~/.config/.menu directory or somethink like this [22:53] DASPRiD: so i think i have to give kde a go [22:53] i need some options is Opensuse anygood? [22:53] geirha; okay, i can edit my xorg.conf to enable all the things needed. thanks [22:53] techt0nix: this is an ubuntu support channel, not opensuse [22:53] opensuse is too comercial for me [22:53] BigNixN00B: did you just say nearer to windows.... I got Linux to get away from windows.... [22:54] whats gksudo ? [22:54] Xcerca: it's sudo but it asks for the password graphically [22:54] o [22:54] corny: yeah me going away from windows or planning to [22:55] BigNixN00B, indeed it's for the windows guys === mmellinger66_ is now known as m3lling [22:55] BigNixN00B how long have you been useing the linux ? [22:55] but when i changed from win to lin (long time ago), i used gnome from the first moment [22:55] Xcerca, as if 'the linux' exists :p [22:56] there is some mathematical software open source ( something like Derive 6 for windows ) ? [22:56] Xcerca: 3 hours in total i guess [22:56] lol , i was reading the manual for my TV , and it uses linux also 8-) [22:56] al-_-Gir: sage, octave [22:57] al-_-Gir: octave is a matlab clone, sage can do symbolic calculations as well [22:57] Xcerca: you'd be suprised at how many things actually do use Linux. Ex. The touch screens at fast food resteraunts [22:57] can anyone help me get ubuntu to boot with my nvidia 5500 video card [22:57] Does Ubuntu have a partitioning tool? [22:57] hey everyone [22:57] yes [22:57] Xcerca: could be less than that .. basically a fresher [22:57] Devourer: gparted [22:57] i am new to ubuntu [22:57] Xcerca, your washing machine :) [22:57] installing right now [22:57] Mastkilla920: hello [22:57] i need something that can do dirve , integrate , draw functions ( roots , sin , cos and all this ) [22:57] is it better than windows xp? [22:58] Chousuke, don't I need to have a Live CD to use that? [22:58] BigNixN00B well don't give up , it's so much better when you learn a few things, in windows i used to spend forever trying to change somthing, just to find out that it couldn't be changed...=-O [22:58] Devourer: well, not really. [22:58] Mastkilla920: people here might be biased [22:58] does anybody knows where alacarte gets the list of applications to load into menu? [22:58] !best | Mastkilla920 [22:58] my toilet also uses linux [22:58] Devourer: you can't modify a disk that's in use [22:58] hehehe [22:58] Xcerca: well, started to burn my fingers a bit .. lost some data [22:58] i will give it a try [22:58] Chousuke, can partition magic modify a disk in use? [22:58] Devourer: no === kirby is now known as Charitwo [22:59] will it run good on a pentium 4 2.4ghz with 256 ram [22:59] ?¿ [22:59] Mastkilla920: don't worry :) [22:59] Devourer: gparted is a package you can get and Partition magic actually takes the disk out of use before it does anything [22:59] Mastkilla920: only 256MiB RAM ?! [22:59] ya [22:59] mastkilla linux runs good on anything...64mb for the win [22:59] its my old comp [22:59] Cool [22:59] corny, alright, cool. [22:59] al-_-Gir: try or wx-maxima [23:00] Mastkilla920: 256 is a lot... [23:00] let me install and then ask here for help [23:00] {{ £åügHîñg Øüt £öüÐ }} [23:00] Mastkilla920: you will likely want xubuntu on that comp [23:00] wats that? [23:00] Mastkilla920: i think all u need to do is give around 512 mb of swap drive space on HD to fill up for ram needs .. but thats just my reading before i installed Ubuntu [23:00] Devourer: On the fly resizing is possible, but it depends on the filesystem. [23:00] al-_-Gir: there aren't that many symbolic math applications in the open source world.. I think Matematica is available for linux.. but it will cost you [23:00] i think windows is also a stretch off unix. then mabey you could also say that windows is linux based :P [23:00] Devourer: AFAIK you can't do it with ext3 [23:00] !ubotu why have you failed us all [23:00] Mastkilla920: you don't need to install it to try it out. Just boot up the cd and you can test it out without modifying anything on your computer [23:00] Chousuke, oh, that is probably what I want to do. [23:01] Mastkilla920: a less ram intensive version of ubuntu 256mb is fine for regular ubuntu (gnome though) just a little too heavy for my taste [23:01] Xcerca: windows isn't related to unix [23:01] Chousuke: correct sir [23:01] i dunno , those guys copied everthing they saw... [23:01] Xcerca: still [23:01] dos [23:01] is there anyway to do sudo commands before trying to load X? [23:01] Xcerca: and calling windows linux based is just ridiculous, sorry. :) [23:02] hi [23:02] wmMaxima is good one : ) [23:02] techt0nix: sudo works on a clean command line [23:02] hwo to access to this file ~/.gconf ? [23:02] hmm .. these guys can surely use some warning messages [23:02] techt0nix: boot in recovery mode and start x manually with 'startx' [23:02] Xcerca: anyway, getting a bit offtopic. [23:02] can i play call of duty on ubuntu? [23:02] Mastkilla920: Wine might support it [23:02] yea... anyway [23:02] Mastkilla920: I don't think there is a native client.. might work in wine.. see appdb.winehq.org [23:02] Mastkilla920: check www.winehq.org and the appdb [23:02] slart, so when grub counts down i hit ESC then what do i do? [23:02] oqps: in nautilus view show hidden files [23:03] When I press ctrl+alt+F1 I get a black screen with a marker flashing, but I can't anything. What can be the problem? [23:03] !ubotu [23:03] slart, hit "C" ? [23:03] k let me start installing [23:03] will be back later [23:03] thanks [23:03] Chousuke, why can't ext3 do on the fly resizing? :( [23:03] does anyone have an idea why my cursor would only change in text boxes, not system-wide [23:03] techt0nix: huh?.. what's the goal here? why do you want to stop grub? [23:03] how to access via bash command to this file ~/.gconf [23:03] i have no idea what you guys are talking about [23:04] Mastkilla920: call of duty is rated platinum on wine's appdb, which means it runs very well [23:04] Devourer: I don't know. filesystems are complex entities, and on the fly resizing is nowhere as simple as it sounds, on *any* fs... Even those that support it [23:04] oqps, define "access" [23:04] oqps: I think .gconf is a folder.. not a file [23:04] Devourer: it may sound like a trivial feature, but in reality it's anything but :) [23:04] ok thx Sla [23:04] slart, because if i let it countdown and load with my nvidia video card it will just say "Out Of Range" so im thinking maybe if i could get into sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i can get my video card working [23:04] oqps: browse to the directory from the terminal [23:05] what that it that it mean ~/. ? [23:05] Chousuke, what do you mean? [23:05] techt0nix: did your graphics ever work? [23:05] Devourer: I mean it takes a lot of work to make a filesystem support on-the-fly resizing. [23:05] techt0nix: ahh.. hmm.. there is a way to do that.. have you tried the recovery boot thingy? [23:05] Devourer: if the design even allows it [23:05] Chousuke, I thought ext3 was all powerful... :| [23:05] corny, it works fine in windows [23:05] Devourer: there's no such thing as all-powerful :P [23:06] ext3 is great [23:06] Is there any gnome-panel application to show a host status (online/offline) ? [23:06] i like reiserfs myself [23:06] techt0nix: I mean did it ever work on Ubuntu [23:06] ntfs is good for handling large files 6gig and up [23:06] Devourer: there are a lot of issues with resizing a live filesystem [23:06] slart, recovery boot sticks on line work_notifysig+0x13/0x25 and i cant do nothing but cold shutdown [23:06] corny, no i have never got it to work on ubuntu [23:06] too bad I can't format within linux to NTFS [23:07] Chousuke, if you resize NTFS can it modify the ext3 filesystem partition? [23:07] is there a trick to getting /playing to work in xchat-xsys while using xmms? [23:07] azuki: you can't? are you sure? [23:07] can someone help me here. I seem to have some problems with my fglrxinfo [23:07] Okay... Trying to compile something, and it says that I don't have X... [23:07] Devourer: not on the fly, but if you have the partitions unmounted they can be resized. [23:07] microwaver:state your issue [23:07] techt0nix: even the onboard graphics card didn't work [23:07] Definitely do, cause I'm looking right at it! [23:07] Can someone suggest why this cron isnt working? 30 4 * * 5 root mysqldump -u root -pqwaszxcV --databases flavtrak 07 | gzip > ~/backups/flavtrak_backup_`date +%Y%m%d`.sql.gz [23:07] corny, im on ubuntu right now with my onboard graphics [23:08] Slart: it's blanked out, it's possible to go to fat16 fat32 ext2 ext3 and a few others, but not ntfs.. [23:08] sYn_0n3, still got video driver issues. [23:08] Chousuke, can Ubuntu resize a NTFS file system if it is unmounted? [23:08] artenius: that's like asking if you can give yourself a wedgie while reciting the phonebook.. it will just annoy everyone else.. and in the end hurt you.. please spare us.. [23:08] Devourer: yes, as far as I know [23:08] microwaver: did you use the restricted ati driver [23:08] sYn_0n3, seems to be I can't get them installed, if i do fglrxinfo I get something like this : Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [23:08] azuki: hmm.. guess I've never tried myself.. just thought it was possible.. [23:08] sYn_0n3, Yes he is enabled [23:08] what's the firefox add-on to make it appear to java as different browsers? internet explorer or safari, say? [23:08] Hi. Can someone help me? I have some problems to install ubuntu. [23:08] Slart: I wasn't planning on using it in here. [23:09] techt0nix: so it gives you that error and then boots using the onboard card [23:09] Slart: I know better than to do that in any help channel. [23:09] microwaver: go to the amd site and download the linux driver [23:09] thats how i got my old ati card working [23:09] how do i check which package contains the file multirow.sty? [23:09] can anyone tell me the linux command to change permissions on a devise? [23:09] artenius: that's what they all say =).. (oh.. and to answer your question.. I have no idea.. never tried it) [23:09] corny, no i disable my onboard when trying to boot my nvidia video card [23:09] hey guys does somebody tried nonXgl script??? [23:09] sYn_0n3 and do ./ ? [23:09] slart: I'd like to know if anyone gets that working tho [23:09] sYn_0n3, tried that severl times already [23:09] microwaver:exactly [23:09] corny, i have to do a cold shutdown then go back into bios [23:09] microwaver: what was the output [23:10] techt0nix: I wouldn't suggest disabling your onboard, just use the other driver instead, you always want a fallback [23:10] sYn_0n3, of the fglxrinfo ? [23:10] azuki: hmm.. using gparted I can format to ntfs.. do you have ntfs-3g installed? [23:10] !ntfs-4g [23:10] !ntfs-3g [23:10] microwaver: have you tried installing the .bin file from the ati site? [23:10] sYn_0n3, Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [23:10] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [23:10] Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual! [23:10] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [23:10] Slart: ubotu is broked [23:10] sYn_0n3, let's see. [23:10] private message it and it will work [23:10] corny, my computer monitor will not even turn on unless i disable onboard videocard and enable nvidia one or vis versa [23:10] corny: hmm... I see.. thanks.. [23:11] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[23:36] angusb: yes [23:36] ltcabral: you could try rightclicking it, --> properties and then background it.. would that be enough? [23:36] techt0nix, i never installed the nvidia-driver, cant help at this point, maybe you should really boot the rescue mode and type all the commands there [23:36] angusb, : yes [23:36] sadaa, look at gtkpod , but amarok and rythmbox are suppose to let you do it to through the music libraries [23:36] sYn_0n3 Uninstalled them.

[23:44] DRwillis: and if you want themes..you have to buy them [23:45] kust3mz: did you look in the bios to turn of the onboard videocard? [23:45] microsoft for the win [23:45] Scunizi, you have cd and dvd , dvd usualy include the live , and the txt mode, plus the complete main and universe repos , kubuntu , ubuntu, xubuntu each come on a different dvd [23:45] How do apt-get and aptitude know "which" amarok to get [23:45] What does Ubuntu studio has extra? [23:45] sYn_0n3, they did it on purpose that way. and apple did a very smiler thing. [23:45] like couldn't Amarok be anything, many variations [23:45] angusb: it goes to the same repository [23:45] doubting which one i should install, normal ubuntu or studio? [23:45] artenius, then amarok isn't for you [23:45] Jezz, check the ubuntu studio web site? [23:45] alright, thanks DrWillis [23:45] sYn_0n3 what doyou mean [23:45] Pelo, is the link I gave for everything on the DVD? or is there another location?

[23:46] ok [23:46] Scunizi, can I get te link again please [23:46] microwaver: try aticonfig [23:47] i believe the command is atconfig --configure [23:47] Pelo, should have read your post better.. so ubuntu live & alternate w/ univ & multi repos but no kbuntu, x etc.. on that same DVD right? http://www.fulldls.com/torrent-linuxapp-408830.html [23:47] sYn_0n3 huge output [23:47] Tryed that dident work [23:47] ltcabral, fluxbox is another environnement, like gnome or kde or xcfe , fluxbox is rather minimal , and supposedly very light on resources, I'm not very familiar with it [23:47] I changed the bios but still did not work [23:47] anyone in here use enlightenment e17 [23:47] is the mirror slow or is it me? [23:47] 01h:42m left [23:48] Scunizi, yes , mind you , since you have main and universe, you can install kubuntu-desktop and/or xubuntu-destktop on top of ubuntu after the initial install [23:48] Can someone tell me how to get to run level 3 im in run level one [23:48] When installing Amarok, it asks me what type of database setup I want. I want to use mysql but I don't have it configured afaik [23:48] Scunizi, but y ou just can'T select which initial install you will do [23:48] so what do I enter for localhost, port nubmer etc? [23:48] om [23:48] kust3mz: ctrl f3 or f4 or f5 [23:48] angusb: localhost==127.0.0.1 [23:48] Pelo.. gotcha. thanks.. I"m trying to find something for a friend to load up.. the DVD might be the best option for him. [23:48] angusb, do you have a mysql server installed, otherwise you should use sqlite [23:49] combat: I do not, at least under ubuntu [23:49] angusb, you can keep the settings they have there for you, localhost + port # [23:49] I have one on another computer [23:49] vertically my desktop icons are spaced good, but horizontally they are too far apart, how can i change this? [23:49] Scunizi, the link you gave is for a torrent of ubuntu-7 10-dvd-i386 iso , which is the dvd for regular 32 bit ubuntu [23:49] Ive just installed Ubuntu on a spare disk I had on this machine, I have no inet due to having a broadcom chipset (linksys) when i try to enable the restricted drivers (broadcom & nvidia), It simply says the driver is not installed, it wont let me enable it, any ideas? [23:49] TaRDy what about username and pass though? [23:49] Pelo, thanks [23:49] I feel that I would need to ahve this set up before I can use mysql [23:49] azuk: I did that but for some reason neither one will work? [23:49] I wasn't sure if ubuntu came preloaded with it [23:50] angusb: there should be a link to a guide on how to set up mysql for amarok if I'm not mistaken [23:50] angusb, i had to add my user for mysql [23:50] and a password for it [23:50] * Pelo wonders if everyone else in here has wetdreams about preloaded ubuntu === Origin is now known as Intacto [23:50] geirha, yeah you are right but the link doesn't work [23:50] do I have to alt click or something? [23:51] angusb: mysql is not installed by default. You need to install the package mysql-server to install it. [23:51] sYn_0n3, atconfig --configure : parsing command-line failed. [23:51] question: is there a way to remap keys so that the "forward" and "back" keys can control compiz? [23:51] Ive just installed Ubuntu (dual booting) on a spare disk I had on this machine, I have no inet due to having a broadcom chipset (linksys) when i try to enable the restricted drivers (broadcom & nvidia), It simply says the driver is not installed, it wont let me enable it, any ideas? [23:51] angusb: a left click should be enough. Do you have a web browser open? it will probably be opened in a tab there [23:51] angusb, before I couldnt figure out how to add a user so I cheated and went in through the service account and added it by the mysql administrator gui [23:52] Pelo: dell. all i really need to say on the subject. after years of swearing i would never support dell, i bought an inspiron 1420n, and i love it. [23:52] bitwiseshiftleft: what fwd-back keys? [23:52] microwaver: dmesg [23:52] Daisuke_Ido, ;-) [23:52] xobius: nm, I finally found it [23:52] aright let me try real quick [23:52] geirha, clicking the link when I tried to set it up the other day did not work for me [23:52] ConstyXIV: my keyboard has media keys, including "forward/back" keys designed to control the web browser [23:53] hey guys - any good networking ppl in here that can help me out - im having troubles and dont REALLY know what I am doing... [23:53] artenius, I found a xchat plugin for Amarok [23:53] vertically my desktop icons are spaced good, but horizontally they are too far apart, how can i change this? [23:53] ConstyXIV: it would be cool to control the web browser with them, too... that doesn't work either... but controlling the window manager would be better [23:53] sCOTTo, start by stating your problem we'll see from there [23:53] artenius, where you found it? [23:53] sYn_0n3, yes, what should I be doing with that? [23:53] I closed down my browser left clicked on the link and still nothing happpened [23:53] so if I do need to install mysql-server [23:53] TrustNoOne: i don't know if you can - i've been trying to get them to line up on the right by default and nada [23:53] angusb, ctrl+click [23:53] microwaver: look for errors regarding graphics or ati or kernel [23:54] nfusco: I had similar linksys setup...assume you mean wireless? Can't remember how I fixed it, check out dmesg for clues [23:54] okay ill try that [23:54] sYn_0n3, Ok. [23:54] Pelo: sorry - ok i have a new ubuntu install - it is on my dell laptop, I have it on the same network as two other computers - one with winxp theother is a server 2003 install [23:54] I cant enable the restricted drivers, do I need to have internet to do this? [23:54] when compiz activated and playing videos they are flickering, how do i avoid that? [23:54] xobius: http://orange.mikama.org/cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/xchat-xsys/README.gz [23:54] Can someone please tell me how to change to run level 3 on ubuntu? [23:54] sCOTTo, and the problem is ? [23:54] bitwiseshiftleft: if you have compizconfig installed, you might be able to just bind the keys [23:54] Pelo: I cant get the others to see this computer vica=versa... i got SOME time last night but then it cut off again!! [23:54] Pelo: its all about filesharing [23:54] ConstyXIV: tried that, no dice [23:54] xobius: although so far it's not helping me. As it's not doing what it says it should.
