When you remove packages with amarok, it also remove packages it depended on that are no longer needed by any packages [00:01] mc-george, middle button doesn't work? [00:01] angusb: err, s/amarok/aptitude/ [00:01] microwaver just gui === Polishpaul is now known as Polishpaul_ [00:01] Any ideas as to why I am getting 1 minute delay between selecting system > quit and the quit dialogue appearing? [00:01] hi where can I find information on running multiple apache instances on ubuntu [00:01] icesword: I want it to scroll more than 3 lines at once [00:01] i was using CLI to copy over some files to a usb flash drive, after finishing that, and exiting that terminal, gnome is still saying the device is busy, sudo umount also reports device is busy, any way to tell what is still accessing the device?

[00:04] kust3mz: header files are installed by packages suffixed by -dev, so if you need the header files for a libfoo, install libfoo-dev [00:04] didn't find an option [00:04] sYn_0n3, thanks, but did that one already :-) thanks for the help tho, going to get a nap before work. [00:04] talk to you later people [00:04] icesword ^^ [00:04] geirha: thanks, I typed sudo aptitude isntall mysql-server and now I am faced with a Postfix Configuration with a Blue, Grey screen. Not sure what I do [00:04] hello [00:05] what is best? kde or gnome? [00:05] hey guys, i need help recovering my nick.. how can i get a hold of a nickserv admin? [00:05] angusb: that's one of mysql's dependancies. Just choose a local configuration or something... don't remember what options it gives you [00:05] all it says is [00:05] polishpaul, nickserv recover [00:05] and I don't even know how to move on from there [00:05] combat: eh not the case here but I've taken up that practice on other machines [00:05] polishpaul: either go to #freenode or do /stats p or do /who freenode/staff/* to find one [00:05] sfears: not working [00:05] does anyone wants to help me by looking how defaults python init file looks on your ubuntu? =D [00:05] angusb: then hit the TAB key till it's selected, then hit enter [00:06] SMOKE!!!! [00:06] polishpaul, /msg nickserv release [00:06] sYn_0n3: what [00:06] release/recover/identify [00:06] geirha, thanks noob mistake. Asks me for the type of configuration, should I pick local only? [00:06] techqbert, you can even try to start "update-manager -c -d" to update to hardy [00:06] is there a way to force an unmount? [00:06] xnox: sure, I'll pastebin mine. What's the path? (I don't think I've modified it) [00:06] sfears: none of that worked.. [00:06] sYn_0n3: FIRE ALARM [00:06] mabey your using the wrong password? [00:06] Will sudo apt-get install build-essential get libc header files? [00:06] angusb: yes, that's a good choice if you don't know what postfix is ;) [00:07] what would be a command to see what nic you are (like whoami)? [00:07] hey guys if somebody has ever used nonXgl script please contact me!HELP!THANKS === marcelo is now known as drakode [00:07] mindheavy, sudo umount /mounted/folder === azuki is now known as aZZZuki_ [00:07] kust3mz: yes [00:07] combat: never used c flag before just d when I went to update from feisty go gutsy before everybody slashdotted the repos [00:07] /who freenode/staff/* === KwisatzHaderac1 is now known as Kwisatz [00:07] mc-george, i still think your should config your mouse [00:07] geirha: Ok thanks [00:07] Does anyone know how to get totem to output video to x11? Like in gmplayer, it would be gmplayer -vo x11 (or set it in the preferences dialog. [00:07] sfears: its giving me a device busy error, but i cannot find anything i have open accessing the drive === Kwisatz is now known as KwisatzH [00:07] techqbert, if it works without c flag, good, i thought that's necessery to force a distribution-upgrade [00:07] icesword: I haven't found any options to adjust scroll lines number [00:08] hmm [00:08] how can I get spell check to handle contractions? [00:08] Megaqwerty, gstreamer-properties [00:08] !scroll [00:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about scroll - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:08] Jordan_U: Thanks a ton!

[00:08] combat: don't think so =0 but I'm not too familiar with debian/ubuntu [00:08] !mouse [00:08] Jordan_U: wait...what if I use xine? [00:08] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [00:08] mindheavy, you could always log out to force the unmount. [00:08] I haven't done dual monitors since early Dapper days. How easy is it now with xRANDr? and is the desktop stretched across both monitors? or is it like xinerama use to be with two screens each having a the same "non-stretched" wallpaper? [00:08] Megaqwerty, You're screwed :) [00:09] Jordan_U: haha. Fair enough. [00:09] angusb: when you have run mysql -uroot and ran those two queries, then in amarok's settings, you leave host and port to their default values, and database, username and password are all 'amarok' [00:09] sfears: you know of a way to list what might be keeping this drive busy? all i did was copy a few files to it from a terminal, then closed that terminal and tried unmounting it from the desktop icon [00:09] I'm considering buying a macbook pro to put ubuntu on it. Anyone have hardware issues with the 4th gen macbook pros? [00:10] no i don't mindheavy, but i'd like to [00:10] thanks anyhow, i'll log out i suppose [00:10] and i'd imagine there is someway to force the unmount.. but i'm not sure what that is either [00:10] mindheavy, might be slocate if you use the locate command I think it automatically does a cron update [00:10] Nilbus, consider doing a search for it in the forum and looking at this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport www.ubuntuforums.org [00:10] angusb: I need to leave so hopefully someone else can help you if you have any other questions. Good luck! [00:10] hold on mindheavy [00:10] let me look something up [00:10] sure [00:10] Nilbus: aren't you paying alot for the laptop if you want to put ubuntu on it? [00:11] geirha thanks a lot man. see you around maybe [00:11] Isn't there any way to get Ubuntu to not mark contractions are mispselled? [00:11] frank23, what good laptop would you suggest that has good linux hardware support? [00:11] umount -f [00:11] Cyclops, you mean in openoffice ?

[00:12] !xrandr > scunizi [00:12] Pelo: Open Office, the built in spell checking in gedit and here in X-Chat [00:12] Nilbus: dell sells a few ubuntu laptops and there is system76 too. [00:12] !system76 | Nilbus [00:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about system76 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:12] did that work mindheavy? [00:12] Scunizi: So any way to change this? [00:12] sfears: that command is returning "umount: /media/64MB: device is busy: [00:12] how install only gnome environment? [00:12] hello, I'm getting a kernel panic when booting, could be a driver issue, I just installed rtl8180 resontly, but it's a fresh install, so it could be anythin [00:13] sfears: even with the force [00:13] is "Envy" any good/useful? [00:13] Pelo :) [00:13] Cyclops, check the language support , see if what english you have enabled, see if you can't change it to some other english, contractions might be part of another dictionnary [00:13] does anybody know how to update packages? [00:13] alright.. hold [00:13] !envy | TaRDy [00:13] TaRDy: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories.

[00:14] hello, I'm getting a kernel panic when booting, could be a driver issue, I just installed rtl8180 recently, but it's a fresh install, so it could be anything... [00:14] thanks you, rsk.

[00:15] frank23, the laptops that dell sells - they're known to work well hardware-wise with linux, I would hope? [00:15] * Dr_Willis installs apt-file [00:15] Pelo: it's already installed, now I'm just booting up, surely it makes no difference once it's installed? it is the alternative anyway, I'm using fluxbuntu [00:15] get getlibs and it can install libs automatically [00:15] how often do upgrades propogade in repositories? Is there really point checking more than once a day? [00:15] how do I use nx session shadowing with freenx? I'm trying to connect to the server and resume my session [00:15] Dr_Willis, there is a specail FF search for ubotu packages also [00:15] Al-Khouli: run.. sudo apt-get --reinstall install zlib1g [00:15] how install only gnome environment? [00:15] xnox: even once a day is a bit excessive [00:15] geirha: Im trying to load ubuntu with a nvidia video card and i am stuck on the 3ed bar any ideal why? [00:15] xnox: probably once a week would be good [00:16] xnox, just leave it on auto , you'll get them when they come [00:16] xnox, I do mine weekly [00:16] I'm playing with compiz and i'm wondering, what is the difference (under general options -> desktop size) between virtual desktops and the horizontal/vertical sizing? The reason i ask is because if i use both some of the compiz features 'lock up' the desktop [00:16] Nilbus: I think so. but there are only a few models [00:16] drakode: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop [00:16] tofind package or file in package :http://packages.ubuntu.com [00:16] Dr_Willis: think the bot is still not back to full capabilities yet [00:16] Odd-rationale: thx [00:16] polishpaul, a better place to ask would be #compiz-fusion [00:16] frank23, I looked at them earlier [00:16] Pelo: ty [00:16] frank23, the system73 seems to have suspend problems, which is the reason I'm looking for a new laptop [00:16] geirha: and when i load it with the onboard it loads up fine [00:17] heguru, couldn't find package === c is now known as Charitwo [00:17] Nilbus: Alot of computers have suspend problems AFAIK [00:17] !info zlib1g [00:17] zlib1g (source: zlib): compression library - runtime. In component main, is required. Version 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 71 kB, installed size 160 kB [00:17] kust3mz, DId you see anything in the docs about stopping gdm ? as in hit clt-alt-f2, login. run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed [00:17] Al-Khouli: make sure you're typing the name right, its the number "1" in zlib1g [00:18] Nilbus: From what I've heard, system76's support is excellent. I don't know about suspend though [00:18] frank23, I know. I had one that was working though - a toshiba. Do you know of others with working suspend? [00:18] Nilbus: no I don't know. [00:18] mindheavy, try fuser -v /directory/mounted [00:18] frank23, I think suspend depends mostly on the video card/drivers [00:18] i have a fresh install of ubuntu and updated the important security updates and i want to burn it on aptoncd: question is if i update the recommended updates gutsy, can i just burn it again on cd so all apts are there? [00:18] Nilbus: From what i read, system76's laptops are pretty much garunteed suspend/hibernate. Have you gone to support? [00:19] Nilbus: I have LG with working suspend and hibernate [00:19] Odd-rationale, oh, I was just going off of some review someone wrote [00:19] Odd-rationale, perhaps out of date [00:19] oboy03, yes... /var/cache/apt/archives has all the debs that are dl'd [00:19] oboy03, aptoncd has an overall size limit from what I rmemeber [00:19] xobius: thanks, it works perfectly [00:20] jack_sparrow: so apt on cd is simply copying these repos? [00:20] sfears: ah! right after i copied those files, emerald went down, and from that same terminal, i ran 'emerald &' 'fuser' reported emerald when i ran it, maybe if i kill that PID (and possibly emerald again) it'll let me umount [00:20] !pm | kust3mz [00:20] kust3mz: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [00:20] hey guys I was being helped settin g up amarok with mysql and I installed mysql and ran "create database amarok" and " grant all on amarok.* to amarok@'localhost' identified by amarok". I was then told to leave my hostname as localhost, the port on default, and the database|username|password all set to amarok. It's not working and I am getting a mysql error rported in Amarok [00:20] try it out [00:20] i think that command tells you what process is using the specified directory [00:20] not sure what I should fix [00:20] oboy03, no, aptpn cd does more, it creates the list of packages etc as if a full repo.. [00:20] sfears: yes, that worked hah, wonder why that command was keeping the drive busy, i thought 'emerald &' would run 'emerald' and exit [00:20] Jack_Sparrow: I am trying to install my drivers right now and its says im in run level 1 and may cause prolbems how do i change to run level 3 [00:21] ok === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [00:21] so i can burn now what i've downloaded onto a cd and burn the one's i will download after burning the cd? [00:21] i wouldn't expect emerald to use that directory at all.. but who knows [00:21] kust3mz, I dont know where you are at with that.. all I can suggest is you rad the docs where you got the drivers you want to use [00:22] wow, system76 is for sure a whole lot cheaper [00:22] on the same cd that is [00:22] (than a macbook) [00:22] mindheavy: you can use lsof to find out which files are open by which process [00:22] i'll have to remember that command, seems like it would come in handy [00:22] oboy03, Yes, then manually copy them to that same folder as needed.. see clone or automate below [00:22] Nilbus, but but macs are chick magnets .... [00:22] !clone | oboy03 [00:22] oboy03: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [00:22] Jack_Sparrow: When i install all my drivers and stuff and get ready to boot ubuntu it hangs at 3 bars on the splash bar [00:22] heguru: yeah thats a good point, although i didnt know what process it was until i ran 'fuser' [00:22] My wife hates macs :) [00:22] ok thanks [00:22] heguru, thanx alot, that was fast !! [00:22] kust3mz, my advice has not changed.. [00:23] aboo0ood: welcome :) [00:23] Dr_Willis, wives don'T count as chicks unless they're someone else's [00:23] heguru, i am the one who had the libz.so problem btw [00:23] lol [00:23] how can i search a specific file format for a specific string of text? [00:23] What should I do if I have a usernamed and password reported as incorredct when trying to configure amarok [00:23] Is there a way to change my resolution through the command line? I tried through the GUI, and it says the resolution changes, but it stays the same. [00:23] Does anyone know where I can download the Portuguese version of Ubuntu from? [00:23] for mySQL [00:23] sfears: grep perhaps [00:23] Pelo, i got a 'Trophy wife' - But it was for "last place' [00:23] :) [00:23] idknow [00:23] yeah.. but how do i tell it to search *.conf [00:23] sfears, I think you can do it with the search app, check the more options fields [00:23] how i can run mugen linux in ubuntu [00:23] alright [00:23] Dr_Willis, lol [00:24] sfears: grep pattern *.conf [00:24] jchagas, You should be able to switch the language to pt.. see #ubuntu-pt [00:24] how i can run mugen linux in ubuntu??????????

[00:25] Marius, is it a *.deb file? [00:25] Marius, check in the rpos first [00:25] hey guys I was being helped setting up amarok with mysql and I installed mysql and ran "create database amarok" and " grant all on amarok.* to amarok@'localhost' identified by amarok". I was then told to leave my hostname as localhost, the port on default, and the database|username|password all set to amarok. It's not working and I am getting a MySQL error reported in Amarok about username and password being incorrect [00:25] heguru, syntax?

[00:26] mugen is probably not in the repos [00:26] Marius, that's the source, see here for how to install http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ [00:26] Marius, then you need to look for a readme inside or docs on their site. Most likely you will need to build it from source [00:26] Pelo thats the GDM [00:26] Pelo ....besides using the GDM [00:26] jchagas: i believe so - if you mean to say that the installer was in polish === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:27] chafe, that's the only way I know how [00:27] Jack_Sparrow i want to try different oness.

[00:37] eXistenZ: apache2.conf [00:37] sfears: It might not be the best way -- but the way i do it from command line is 'find /etc|grep conf$|xargs grep textExpectedInFile' [00:37] Pici, although I create public_html folder, it doesn't work [00:37] will try andguent [00:38] eXistenZ: Did you enable and set UserDir? [00:38] Pici, is it disabled by default? [00:38] eXistenZ: By default everything is served out of /var/www [00:39] eXistenZ: If you want to set up per-user serving you need to do it yourself [00:39] Pici, is this new in 7.10? [00:39] eXistenZ: I don't think so [00:39] i am trying to set up an apache 2 server [00:39] and localhost works [00:39] but when i go to my ip address [00:39] Pici, in previous versions it wasn't this way [00:39] it doesn´t work [00:40] what do i need to do? [00:40] can someone help me with amarok and mysql? [00:40] eXistenZ: I don't remember how the previous versions were. :? [00:40] hi [00:41] how do i connect to another network? [00:41] Pici, where do I set UserDir? [00:41] belkinhelp2, irc network? /server whatevername.of.server [00:41] hey i need help with my wireless it says the drivers there but its not seeing networks how do i make it work [00:41] Jordan_U: I figured out the answer to my previous question (about changing xine to work with x11/xshm) it turns out that totem uses ~/.gnome2/Totem/xine_config. I just needed to change video.driver:auto to video.driver:xshm. Thanks again for the lead on gstreamer-properties, I never thought about gstreamer and xine having their own properties. [00:41] eXistenZ: read: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/public_html.html :) [00:41] salut [00:41] Pici, thanks a million! [00:41] eXistenZ: Explains it better than I can since I'm just reading it out of there anyway :p [00:43] Could someone tell me how I would log in as root, trying to get ndiswrapper installed and its telling me I don't have proper permissions. Thanks :) [00:43] ppl did you know bill gate admits linux is the best os ever [00:43] !root | Sindacious [00:43] Sindacious: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:43] sindiacious sudo ndiswrapper -i windows driver [00:44] check this out every body http://www.bbspot.com/News/2001/06/gates.html linux is the shit [00:44] how do i set up a server accessable from the internet on a ubuntu machine that already has os installed [00:45] i tried to install apache [00:45] and then i can get localhost [00:45] griz what are u trying to do ssh telnet ftp [00:45] but my ip address doesn´t return anything [00:45] hey people, how can I submit my hardware configuration of my laptop to ubuntu dev team (?!?!!) so I (and other users) could get better drivers support ? [00:45] Pici, How can it be that the base module is not included ? I get this error message :/ "Invalid command 'UserDir', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration httpd not running, trying to start" [00:45] and my ip address:80 doesn´t do anything either [00:45] grizlo42, Have you setup port forewarding? [00:45] is there a 2.6.24 testing kernel available for ubuntu? [00:45] i want an http server [00:46] how do i do that? [00:46] sYn_0n3: What is that o_o? [00:46] jordan_U: how? [00:46] sindacious: to use ndiswrapper you need windows driver files === hugglehug is now known as Neskaya [00:47] sYn_0n3: Yeah, I've gathered that, I'm actually stuck on that point :/ [00:47] Is there a way to compare the contents of one folder to another folder? [00:47] monkeyBox: "Alpha 6 includes the 2.6.24-11.17" [00:48] sindacious ndiswrapper -i .inf file [00:48] jayess [00:48] eXistenZ: Looks like you'll need to symlink the modules from /etc/apache2/mods-available/ into /etc/apache2/mods-available/ for the modules you want. I think a2enmod userdir will do it automagically for you though. [00:48] then you ndiswrapper -m [00:48] all as sudo [00:48] xTheGoat121x: diff works with folders as well [00:48] does anyone know, how can I submit my hardware configuration of my laptop to ubuntu dev team (?!?!!) so I (and other users) could get better drivers support ? [00:48] xTheGoat121x: diff folder1 folder2 [00:48] heguru, awesome, thanks! [00:48] xTheGoat121x: type diff in synaptic or add/remove [00:49] anyone know how to make it see your card as eth1 when i check it says device unsigned [00:49] do i have to have a static ip? [00:49] heguru, can that be used with a device as well... I'm trying to compare an MP3 player to my music folder [00:49] even if i am always connected? [00:49] my monitor is a 1400x1050 but if i set that resolution, the desktop does not fit into the screen (floats a little) the current res of 1280x1024 does 'fit' how can i run my native resolution (1400x1050) yet still have the desktop properly sized? [00:49] I need to install nxdesktop and nxviewer. How? [00:49] what is the command to list running network services...? [00:49] hi everybody!!111 [00:50] syn_0n3: lhsw -C network [00:50] sYn_0n3: how exactly do I go about getting the windows driver? [00:50] greetings ripper666 [00:50] hello there [00:50] i have a problem with my ubuntu [00:50] I need to install nxdesktop and nxviewer. Would somebody please tell me what package or repository I can find it in? [00:51] sindacious download it [00:51] does anybody know if there will be support for twinview on dual graphics cards? [00:51] could you please help me? [00:51] does rsync move files that start with a "." by default? [00:51] Sindacious: the driver is usually on a CD that came with your wireless interface [00:51] How can i add a new superuser by shell? [00:51] mkmiken_21, state the problem to the channel, be clear and concise. :) [00:51] ader10: download them from www.nomachine.com, they have .deb packages [00:51] Sindacious: or on the company who made the device's website. [00:51] Anyone know how to enable a network card>? [00:51] my screen turns off every 10 minutes [00:51] sudo etho up [00:51] hey what do you guys think the best bitturrent client out there is for ubuntu [00:51] sudo eth0 up [00:51] EdinNY: yes, rsync should grab basically everything, i recommend using 'rsync -va /source /destination' [00:51] rather [00:52] Pici, I just got it, did you have it by default? [00:52] Does rsync copy files that begin with a "." by default? [00:52] and i can't change it [00:52] Megaqwerty: it's a wireless card in my laptop :/ [00:52] grizlo42, http://portforward.com/routers.htm [00:52] ripper666, depends on your needs. - I use ktorrent. === ConstyXIV_ is now known as ConstyXIV [00:52] Sindacious: what brand and model is it? [00:52] mkmiken_21, Laptop, desktop, what video card, which driver are you using etc? [00:52] Sindacious: (The laptop) [00:52] Anyone know how to enable a network card? [00:52] Dr_Willis, my need are music [00:53] Is it possible to forward the default OpenSSH port on a server to a different port? [00:53] loser: that depends, is it a built-in ethernet port? [00:53] desktop ati radeon [00:53] Megaqwerty: dv5000 [00:53] i don't know much [00:53] megaqwerty: yes [00:53] loser: sudo eth0 up [00:53] sp0ro: explain what you mean by forward -- do you want it on another port internally, or externally on the internet? [00:53] I have used a2enmod userdir but it doesn't appear to configured correctly -- I can't access the directories on the server via hostname/~mrgenixus as I should [00:53] Sindacious: HP? [00:54] EDinNY: did you catch my rsync mention? [00:54] under ubuntu, do I need to move the mods-available/mod.conf file to ../conf.d [00:54] !off topic [00:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about off topic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:54] andguent: externally on the internet [00:54] mkmiken_21: did you check your power options? [00:54] andguent: missed it [00:54] megaqwerty: its saying command not found [00:54] heguru: I can't find it there [00:54] !chat [00:54] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !Kopete [00:54] loser: sorry [00:54] !offtopic [00:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:54] loser: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [00:54] got it...thanks [00:54] yes from power management do you mean? [00:54] Megaqwerty: Yes [00:54] heguru: would you mind helping me find the nxdesktop and nxviewer packages [00:55] ripper666, I mean what you NEED a torrent client to do.. not what files you want to grab. What you want to download. dosent really matter. :) [00:55] sp0ro: the answer is then dependant on your router, but you should have the option to forward [00:55] anguent: I am doing a side-project in my CCNA class and I would like to have ssh access to the servers I set up to configure them. The problem is on remote access to the public address, only port 3389 is allowed. [00:55] megaqwert: whats it mean if it tells me no file / dir? [00:55] Sindacious: I'll try and figure out what card is in it. If I can't there's a command that will tell me. [00:55] Woo Hoo Alien arena2008 has been released. :) [00:55] mkmiken_21: yes, i was able to stop the monitor from going to sleep there [00:55] Megaqwerty: Thanks :) [00:55] loser: can you pastebin the output of just running: ifconfig ? [00:55] andguent: I won't be allowed to change anything on the router for security purposes, I will only be allowed to forward SSH to port 3389 [00:55] EdinNY: the real answer is to test it yourself with junk files, make two directories in temp, use 'touch' to make empty files, and then rsync them around between one tmp subdirectory and another [00:55] ader10: download the nxclient package http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=57 [00:56] i have put the never option but still .... [00:56] megaqwerty: what you mean post in here what its saying? [00:56] mkmiken_21: it sounds like the screensaver is on, check that [00:56] loser: no, pastebin [00:56] !pase | loser [00:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about pase - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:56] !pastebin | loser [00:56] loser: 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) [00:56] !paste | loser [00:56] sp0ro: two ways to do that, depending on if you can control the router.... one is to play with the 'port' directive in /etc/ssh/sshd_config -- you can have multiple 'Port' lines [00:56] andguent: This has to be done server side, unfortunately. If I had access to the router that has remote access permissions setup, it would be easy. :) [00:57] hi [00:57] megaqwerty: well i would but im on a seperate comp.. [00:57] hi, Please Help, Heres the Thing. I installed XP (FOR SHAME, i know) but now whats happened, is i cant access my whole ubuntu partition.. and i really want to a lot. how can i do this please?? [00:57] andguent: Ok, thanks I'll look at that. :) [00:57] what's the best way to temporarily deactivate compiz? [00:57] its a 170 gig partition [00:57] and i want to boot it [00:57] Megaqwerty, would you know how to use eth1 as a gateway and eth0 connects to the internet? [00:57] i don't think i have put in the option 2 hours [00:57] but i dont get a multiboot option at all [00:57] please help? [00:57] dube: you will have to reinstall grub. google it [00:57] hey someone... to install a gtk2 theme i must unpack it?? or i can load the .tar.gz file? [00:57] ok polishpaul thank you i will do that [00:57] Hammer89, metacity --replace is one way [00:58] Megaqwerty: Ah, it's a AirForce 51g.. I'm just not sure how to install the driver [00:58] megaqwertyu: but i can just get the values you need to see [00:58] Dr_Willis: wouldn't that just restart it? [00:58] ltcabral, i open up the gnome theme manager tool and drag/drop the archive to it [00:58] TaRDy: I believe you could set that up through Firestarter (sudo aptitude install firestarter) That's the only way I've configured bridges. [00:58] Dr_Willis: er.. wait... that would be compiz --replace [00:58] Hammer89, it replaces compiz with metacity. thus disabling compiz. [00:58] thank you Megaqwerty [00:58] dube: windows does not care about other OS's so XP overwrote GRUB.. [00:58] Sindacious: I'll look it up, thanks [00:58] megaqwerty: its not even seeing my eth1 what does that mean ? [00:58] Hammer89, :) [00:58] loser: is it seeing eth0? [00:58] sp0ro: i use port 22 and port XXXXX all the time, two lines, one right after the other, it should read them all when you restart sshd (and it shouldn't kill your connection if you leave the original port 22 active) [00:58] Megaqwerty: ok, thanks :) [00:58] dube: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [00:58] how can i remote desktop using the internet? is there like gotomypc.com feature in ubuntu, which is opend source by the way? [00:59] megaqwerty: yes but the device im trying to configure is my wireless at eth1 [00:59] Dr_Willis: alright... and then compiz --replace to restart it? (or ctrl-alt-backspace)? [00:59] Dr_Willis: ya but inside the tar.gz theres a bunch of folders with some .png and others... can u drag the .tar.gz? [00:59] oboy03: use ssh [00:59] mkmiken_21: you should be able to disable the screensaver [00:59] ssh? [00:59] !ssh [00:59] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [00:59] loser: oh, do you see ath0 in there? [00:59] ltcabral, as i said.. Ive just take the archive file and drag/drop it onto the theme manager tool.. its installed dozens of theme parts for me that way [00:59] it is already disabled [00:59] oboy03: or vnc [01:00] !vnc [01:00] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [01:00] i have unchecked the box [01:00] ltcabral, ive never had to unpack the archives. [01:00] Sindacious: can you pastebin the output of lspci for me please? [01:00] I was just using VNC to manipulate my ubuntu desktop from my iPod :D === humano is now known as g3qwsf [01:00] megaqwerty: no just eth0 and lo,, see the thing is i followed an ndistutorial and he said the value should be wlan0 but i knew that wasnt right cause its an onboard install and reads as eth1 [01:00] Dr_Willis: well i cant make the theme works properly... its not changing the font, and some other things [01:00] ltcabral, Drag and drop.. but note, not all themes work as you expect, especially when you have effects running [01:01] loser: well, just out of curiosity, is wlan0 listed? [01:01] Megaqwerty: http://pastebin.com/f3292519e [01:01] jordan_:i tried that, i have a netgear WGR614, and i got this as an error message - ¨Server IP address must be a LAN IP address. ¨ [01:01] megaqwerty: no haha [01:01] ltcabral, could be its using fonts you dont have installed. [01:01] megatqwerty: when i do the iwconfig i see it though [01:01] my monitor is a 1400x1050 but if i set that resolution, the desktop does not fit into the screen (floats a little) the current res of 1280x1024 does 'fit' how can i run my native resolution (1400x1050) yet still have the desktop properly sized? [01:01] Jack_Sparrow: oh... so if i disable all effects i can make them all work properly? :P === g3qwsf is now known as humano [01:02] ltcabral, Many of the themes I have found do not match the pictures they show or are only partital themes. [01:02] hey I am trying to run the ubuntu 7.10 install disc on my laptop and all that comes up after I select run ubuntu is BusyBox comes up [01:02] bod_ hey [01:02] andguent: Alright, sounds exactly what I am looking for. Thanks a lot :) [01:02] loser: then it's probably detected and active. (My wireless is detected as eth1 and I have an intel built in wireless so I didn't need to use ndiswrapper which might be the difference) [01:02] sp0ro:glad to help === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:03] Sindacious: found what I was looking for. Now I can get you install info. Give me a minute. [01:03] whiteygford, at start or install press F6 and remove quiet and splash ans see if you can tell where it is hanging up.. [01:03] Megaqwerty: Thanks :)! [01:03] megatqwerty: under iwconfig its telling my acess point is invalid [01:03] Jack_Sparrow: ok, I'll let you know when its done [01:03] I installed phpmyadmin via apt-get and it wasn't installed in my www directory as expected. What do I need to do to begin configuring phpmyadmin? [01:04] Jack_Sparrow: ya i know, but im sure its missing something, cuz the menus should change and they arent... i already checked the source to make sure, and who made the theme made 2 color options for the menu [01:04] how can i stop the messges of people entering and leaving, from appearing in this chat? [01:04] andguent: Wow, this IS exactly what I was looking for. Can't thank you enough. Many, many, MANY thanks! [01:04] polishpaul: you need to set up an ignore but it depends on the software you are using. [01:04] polishpaul: using pidgin? [01:05] Odd-rationale: yes [01:05] scall: by www directory, i assume you mean /var/www? what happens when you do a 'updatedb;locate phpmyadmin' (don't paste it all here, but it might point you in the right direction) [01:05] polishpaul, What irc client are you using [01:05] i am trying to convert a mp3 file to a mp4 file, hwo can i do this? [01:05] Jack_Sparrow: pidgin [01:05] Sindacious: this is a really stupid question, but are you sure that it isn't working by default? (Like, have you checked the network-manager-gnome applet thing in the upper right hand corner for signals?) Then I'll feel good referring you to this guide. Otherwise it's just a waste ;) [01:05] polishpaul: Go to Tools -> plugins [01:05] matt___: there are many programs to do it. [01:05] sp0ro: i use it all the time, if you want to go really fancy you can use xinetd and configure sshd to launch through that on yet another port for redundancy if sshd crashes (very rare) [01:05] matt___: perhaps search on the forums. [01:05] why does ubuntu butcher the apache program? D: [01:06] polishpaul: Then enable the Join/Part Hiding plugin === ned- is now known as ned [01:06] Megaqwerty: Well it has "Enable Wireless" on, but I'm not sure if that means anything really :/ [01:06] polishpaul, That is not one of the more popular ones. check into xchat, knoversation or irissi [01:06] Sindacious: left-click it [01:06] Jack_Sparrow: ok, it says "Clocksource tsc unstable" never heard that one before... [01:06] Megaqwerty: And? [01:06] whiteygford, neither have I [01:07] Megaqwerty, firestarter allowed me to "setup" this however it keeps having eth1 as not ready to start it [01:07] Jack_Sparrow: To google! [01:07] matt___: mencoder could probably do it, but I'm not really familiar with its syntax [01:07] andguent: I found where all the files are. They are in //usr/share/phpmyadmin but I cannot execute those pages from a browser because they are not in the //var/www/ directory. Can I just move them? [01:07] Sindacious: does it have a field for "Wireless" in the box? [01:07] test [01:07] megatqwerty: ok i just went through and udid some things someone in the forum had trouble simmilar im gonna see if it works [01:07] Sindacious: then your wireless is working. [01:07] Megaqwerty: Yes [01:07] scall: a soft link is recommended.... let me see if i can get the syntax right.... [01:07] loser: alright [01:08] whiteygford, one sec [01:08] TaRDy: you need to have eth1 active before it will work. [01:08] Jack_Sparrow: I think I got something [01:08] TaRDy: sudo ifconfig eth1 up [01:08] ok.. [01:08] Megaqwerty: :O [01:08] Megaqwerty: Oh, thanks for pointing that out :D! You know how I can dispose of all this ndiswrapper stuff I have installed :S? [01:09] scall: try this: sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin -- then do an 'ls -lah /var/www' [01:09] whiteygford, noapic acpi=off are the two command I use most often to modify the command line... I need to go get ready for dinner [01:09] i can´t get port forwarding to work [01:09] Sindacious: yeah, give me a minute, I have a phone call. [01:09] i have a dynamic ip [01:09] is that a problem? [01:09] Megaqwerty: Thanks [01:10] Hola buenas noches saludos a todos [01:10] grizlo42, No not the problem [01:10] !es [01:10] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [01:10] grizlo: dynamic IPs should not affect port forwarding at all.... as long as the computer connecting to you knows your IP address currently [01:10] anyone fammiliar with use of the restricted hardware manager for bcm43xx? [01:10] Jack_Sparrow: installation of KDE seems to be completed .. how do i launch it ? [01:10] loser, I have always used fwcutter for the bcm43xx [01:10] loser: Well, with the manager, yes. Just put a check in the box. [01:11] !bcm43xx [01:11] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [01:11] Hello Everyone, I have a problem. Can someone help me? [01:11] hey...I'm seeing a strange message in /var/log/syslog...'Unable to connect to cluster infrastructure after x seconds' [01:11] has anyone seen that? [01:11] Sindacious: yeah, it's basically just two things if I remember correctly that you need to remove [01:11] jack_sparrow: could you walk me through oim having trouble and ive been having trouble here haha [01:11] GamingX: there are 1236 people in this room, just state your problem! :D [01:11] andguent: That seemed to work. Thank you. What does -lah do? [01:11] !ask [01:11] 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. :-) [01:11] loser, I need a shower and dinner... [01:12] jack_sparrowL then what is? [01:12] jack_sparrow: ok thank you anyway [01:12] jack_sparrow: then what is? [01:12] scall: try man ls --- it should tell you longFormat, All, HumanSizes... [01:12] Jack_Sparrow: BoN ApPeTiTe !! [01:12] goodnight all, play nice will try to check back in later [01:12] Sindacious: first, do sudo aptitude purge ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper modules-1.9 ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [01:12] see ya [01:12] Thank you. [01:12] BigNixN00B, You should just be able to reboot and have Kubuntu come up [01:13] scall: Glad to help [01:13] i just installed a fresh comp of ubuntu but apt-get update isnt working it only shows about 1k packages shouldnt there be about 23k? [01:13] ok. I had Windows XP, Ubuntu 7 and Fedora 8. I wanted to a complete format of the harddisk so I started off by deleting both the Ubuntu and Fedora partitions from the DiskManagement facility in XP. Now when I boot up I get "Error 22" and am not able to log into Windows. [01:13] andguet: It looks like we just linked the files to that directory instead of moving them, is that right? What is the benefit in doing that? [01:13] anyone know of any good point of sale apps for ubuntu [01:13] copy* [01:13] Can someone tell me were to go to download themes for KED 3.5? [01:14] kust3mz: kde-look.org [01:14] reformat and install again? [01:14] scall: the installer will expect the files to be in the same place if you ever have to remove it later... a link makes the fewest changes possible and still have it work [01:14] acee1235: I'm checking something for you. [01:14] Megaqwerty: thanks [01:14] Megaqwerty: ok thank you [01:14] scall: I'm surprised it didn't put a soft link there for you by default, it did for me last time I installed phpmyadmin [01:14] kust3mz: np [01:15] hi i need gtk2 to use this program called nomad and im having the worst trouble compiling it, is there a deb for gtk2? [01:15] Does anyone have an easy to follow IPTables guide? I just want to learn how to add and remove open ports [01:15] So, now how do I bypass the Grub loader? [01:15] GamingX, any chance you still have your XP cd? [01:16] Megaqwerty: http://pastebin.com/m80391b0 [01:16] Megaqwerty: are these themes free? [01:16] acee1235: apt-get update caches the package lists, so on the second time it's run (sometime soon after the first update) it doesn't download as much. [01:16] kust3mz: free as in money? [01:16] Megaqwerty: Yes [01:16] hey, nobody knows a music player I can skin so it looks like mac os x's player? [01:16] kust3mz: yep [01:16] Yeah, I do. [01:16] i just installed ubuntu , and used the resticted drivers manager to install the nvidia driver, how to i get to the nvidia driver settings? my res now is 800x600 ... [01:16] Right now I am using the Ubuntu live cd. [01:16] Sindacious: taking a look [01:17] Sindacious: my mistake [01:17] GamingX, I had to do this recently. You can boot to the XP cd and run a Repair. That will get you into the recovery console. You can try running FIXBOOT C: or FIXMBR to rewrite your master boot record [01:17] that should let you get back into windows. Worked for me [01:17] Sindacious: first, do sudo aptitude purge ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [01:17] Gatton: What exactly does it do? [01:17] Megaqwerty: that heped a bit and for some reason every repository was disabled [01:18] -.- [01:18] acee1235: probably not every one. [01:18] Gatton, GamingX: BIG CAREFUL WITH THAT ONE... seriously I lost my partition because I was careless, that was reporting my windows drive was E: (when it's always C:)... just make sure it's C instead of E :/ [01:18] GamingX, it rewrites your MBR which is where grub is located. you can google fixmbr and fixboot. that should get you more info [01:18] acee1235: but everything but the main one I would understand. [01:18] i just had done the apt-get nvidia-settings , but i didn't see anywhere to open the config , is there a command to enable the nvidia settings ? [01:18] Megaqwerty, eth1 is up, however the device isn't always connected to it [01:18] im annoyed, i can´t get my port forwarding to work, anyone know what to do for thw WGR614v6 netgear router? [01:18] acee1235: the restricted, multiverse, universe, etc. are optional, and you must enable them yourself. [01:18] DARKGuy, good point. Recovery console should show where your windows installation is for example C:\WINDOWS before it allows you to get into the recovery console [01:19] Megaqwerty: even the main one was disabled [01:19] Gatton, yeah it does, I was careless :p [01:19] And I get into recovery console? [01:19] acee1235: quite odd indeed [01:19] acee1235: well, at least you can fix it :) [01:19] GamingX, boot your XP cd and choose the R or Repair option. That will get you into recovery console... [01:19] it will ask you for your admin password [01:19] Megaqwerty: http://pastebin.com/mc675825 [01:19] Megaqwerty: hope thats the extent of the quirks on this install [01:19] whats the difference between nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-settings ? , whenever i install one it removed the other one [01:19] Ok. Thanks. [01:19] acee1235: I would certainly hope so as well [01:20] I'll try this out. [01:20] then it puts you into a prompt. from there you can try running fixboot c: or fixmbr. again it's not a bad idea to google those to get more info before you try it [01:20] also /fdisk -r [01:20] anyone know what to do with a clocksource tsc unstable error? [01:20] Guys, where can I find help with a Huawei GSM modem? [01:20] hey, nobody knows a music player I can skin so it looks like mac os x's player? [01:20] What is the meta package I need for compiling ? [01:20] anyone already used landscape?? [01:21] !build-essential > Booh- (Booh-, see the private message from Ubotu) === c is now known as Charitwo [01:21] DARKGuy, i've seen skins for Songbird that looks like itunes. [01:21] I just hope it doesn't delete any data. [01:21] DARKGuy, maybe xmms ? [01:21] sp0ro: did you find an IPtables guide? I'm trying to track down an easy to read one now, I recommend shorewall if you want to do any heavy firewalling via command line [01:21] Booh-, I use Audacious which is the improved version, do you know of any skin for it that looks like os x? o_o [01:21] Gatton, really? I didn't know songbird was skinnable [01:22] DARKGuy, yea I think they call them 'feathers' [01:22] though I consider it too bloated for just playing music XD [01:22] Gatton, lol, I missed that :p [01:22] question? on my toshiba laptop l35. when i try booting with the battery inserted it wont boot, if i remove the battery everything is fine.. [01:22] DARKGuy, agreed. I really hope it gets better. They are only at 0.4 though I guess :-) [01:22] Sindacious: hmm, it doesn't look like you even installed it. (At least from the ubuntu repository) but just to check, please pastebin the output of dpkg -l | grep -i ndiswrapper (note that the character after the '-' is an L and the thing after it is a pipe (above the enter key on most keyboards)) [01:22] LjL: that was the package I was looking for... I didn't remember the name... thanks [01:22] Gatton, I hope for the same XD but I want FF3 more :p [01:22] Tgif: ubuntu doesn't play nice with toshiba, but ill see what I can do [01:22] when i try to connect to my ip, i get a port timeout [01:22] DARKGuy, Firefox 3? [01:23] anyone know what i need to do? [01:23] Gatton, yeah :D === benzs_s is now known as benzss [01:23] DARKGuy, I think the last beta was released Monday (or they hope it's the last beta). So I guess it's pretty close to release now [01:23] http://whatsmyip.org/ports/ [01:23] for port 80 [01:23] says timeout [01:23] does LANDSCAPE that useful for ubuntu server? [01:23] Gatton, hey that's sweet, thanks for the new! I'll wait for the RC tho ^^; [01:24] grizlo42: are you connecting from inside your own network, and trying to access your external IP? or are you trying this from another location? [01:24] andguent: problem is the said servers I was talking about don't actually have access to anything other than the port I specified earlier, so I can't even use aptitude or any other application to download anything from the internet :P [01:24] hi [01:24] andguent: just trying to figure out exactly what I am going to possibly have to configure tomorrow when I have physical access to the servers [01:25] FF3 is looking great. I'll wait to download it once all my extensions are updated to work with it once it's released. I can't live without some of them (like forecast fox) [01:25] Each time I reboot, I have to "modeprobe ndiswrapper", how to make it load itself when I boot ? [01:25] inside network accessing own external [01:25] sp0ro: bah, thats what pen drives are for :) average looking iptables guide: http://oceanpark.com/notes/firewall_example.html [01:25] does envy not work for install video card drivers with 7.10 ? [01:25] andguent: LOL if you only knew how hard it was to get to the usb ports :D [01:25] andguent: own network accessing external [01:25] andguent: would be easier to take a BFH to the damn things than try to plug in a pen drive :P [01:26] sp0ro, BFH? Big Flipping Hammer? lol [01:26] Gatton: Yup :) [01:26] sp0ro, or something similar? heh === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [01:26] ;) [01:26] hey guys I've got a problem [01:26] Megaqwerty: how do i install my themes to KDE? [01:26] This is a family channel! ;-) [01:27] what was that nVidia card company.. similar to BFH [01:27] 3 letter word company.. starts with B [01:27] kust3mz: interesting question. Not a KDE user myself, but I'll look into it. [01:27] BFG? [01:27] I just installed 7.10 on my laptop and the wired internet is not working, although it says it is you can't use it at all. [01:27] grizlo42: when trying to go from inside your own network, to the outside facing connection of your router, that gets really weird, its unfortunately a poor test -- what you need is to test connecting to your external IP from somewhere else, grc.com has a shieldsUp scanner that will tell you what you have open [01:27] So I have reinstalled 7.04 so I can talk [01:27] Megaqwerty: allrighty thanks.... [01:27] you cannot use wifi with 7.10? [01:27] evening gere [01:27] Each time I reboot, I have to "modeprobe ndiswrapper", how to make it load itself when I boot ? [01:27] here... [01:28] how do i change the color of my mouse pointer? [01:28] kust3mz: turns out kde-look.org has a page dedicated to it! http://www.kde-look.org/help/index.php?type=40 have fun :-) [01:28] have anyone tried ubuntu-landscape? is it similar to webmin? [01:28] andguent: Thanks for that website btw, I'm checking it out now [01:28] I just installed 7.10 on my laptop and the wired internet is not working, although it says it is you can't use it at all. help please :) [01:29] jacob, System->Preferences-Appearance. Then click Customize button then click Pointer tab [01:29] sp0ro: i'm about ready to write yet another shorewall tutorial just because i cant find any good ones, but that doesn't help you much for that server..... [01:29] kust3mz: btw, if kdm theme manager isn't installed, you can install it by doing: sudo aptitude install kdmtheme [01:29] hallo! since yesterday i can't install out of my repositories. "apt" crashes with this output: "Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gstm/gstm_1.2-4_i386.deb Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)" [01:29] what is a good firewall for linux? [01:29] thx [01:29] !firewall | SisyphusINC [01:29] SisyphusINC: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [01:30] sisyphusinc: or shorewall if you are a command line user [01:30] Question: every now and then for seemingly no reason my screen flickers. It happens rarely but just enough to annoy me [01:30] Megaqwerty: ok will do [01:30] kust3mz: and just in case this also isn't installed, you can install ubuntu's package of themes by doing: sudo aptitude install kde-kdm-themes [01:30] andguent: hehe, if you ever do, make sure to post it on the ubuntu forums. I'm a frequent reader around there. I have my own home setup and wouldn't mind messing around with new things :) [01:30] can someone help me please? [01:30] i think ill use the non command line route [01:30] kust3mz: the latter just being since you're looking for new ones ;) [01:31] drascus321: mine does the same, i just updated to latest ati proprietary drivers and was fiddling with acpi hibernate settings...... no clue though [01:31] andguent: 80 [01:31] HTTP [01:31] Stealth There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that a port (or even any computer) exists at this IP address! [01:31] sp0ro: if i post it, it will probably go to the ubuntu wiki [01:31] kholerabbi i've read something about the broadcom chips and ubuntu but probably the guys here will be able to tell you more, i'm just a mess for this... i can try to find you the link i've been given for it, but i don't know how good may that be [01:31] that should show there is a port [01:31] Sindacious: are you still around? [01:31] hence, i better shut it [01:31] yeah I have a Zareason which is supposedly desiged for ubuntu so I don't know why === Itaku is now known as Itaku-Sleep [01:32] andguent: Sounds good [01:32] grizlo42: i assume you were expecting the port to be open? what is your network config? basic home router, and an ubuntu server in the internal lan?

[01:35] grizlo42: ok, that should be fine, i assume while on the internal lan, other computers can see the apache pages? -- also keep in mind that it can be a security breach if you don't have apache configured correctly [01:36] Fresh Ubuntu 7.10 install on my Toshiba Satellite laptop ...

[01:38] : sorry - how can i paste it - i don't want to paste in this communication chat [01:38] !pastebin | ingo__ [01:38] ingo__: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

Anyone here know what is the password? [01:51] kholerabbi: k [01:52] Sindacious: this might be a bit messy. I'll see how they installed it and see if I can safely remove it all. [01:52] maccam94: sorry I haven't been that clear [01:52] grizlo42: hmm, then something is going on within your internal lan, are you sure 192.168.1.5 is your apache box? run ifconfig to confirm [01:52] Orynet: there is no root password [01:52] andguent: no printer... an lcd ;) the lcd is actually working at a friends computer, so it should be fine. but my parport does seem to make problems: ioctl(/dev/lp0, PPCLAIM) failed: 22 Invalid argument [01:52] kholerabbi: so how are you pasting stuff right now?

[01:52] Orynet: you'll put in the root once you load the system and stop running from the CD [01:52] just installed Ubuntu on my laptop because it was one of the distros recommended for the acx wireless that I have.

[01:59] I have my whole pc backed up on one devourer ;) [01:59] grizlo42: telnet working? a web browser running internally, and pointed to that IP should be an accurate test too [01:59] kholerabbi: if there is an index.htm in the folder, it will be displayed instead of the folder itself. so make a file named "index.htm" and put it into the directory [01:59] Is there anything else we can help you with Devourer?

[02:01] asdf [02:01] no [02:01] kholerabbi: no i dont think so. if apache displays a folder, it doesnt have anything elso to display. thats all.

[02:02] does anyone know a command to reverse lookup an ip address on a small network and resolve a computer name? [02:03] riot__: ping -a i believe [02:03] Alan_M, no, it's mounting it. So when I unmount how do I know it's name? [02:03] damaltor: haha nah, I'm having a problem with 7.10 not working with my wired internet connection (it just says it's connected but I can't us it) :( [02:03] andguentL it works from outside i think too, like i typed my ip address and i showed the page [02:03] Megaqwerty: lol sorry netadmins IRC on another server is glitching and he's flooding for an unknown reason, and were trying to contain it [02:03] Alan_M, Devourer: i think you mean "mount automatically", not "format automatically", no? [02:03] andguent: it works from outside i think too, like i typed my ip address and i showed the page [02:03] wait.. it may be different with linux [02:03] riot__: #networking [02:03] Sindacious: ah, no problem [02:03] damaltor, correct. [02:03] : back. the sources.list is not the problem and i disabled tor-module with "sudo rcconf" - but apt still tries to connect 127.0.0.1 as the case may be localhost. [02:03] kholerabbi: type "route" and pastebin it, please [02:03] damaltor, im starting to think he's meaning that as well the more he talks :) [02:03] riot__: resolveip? [02:04] riot__: nslookup [02:04] damaltor, I was thinking that in my head. [02:04] because format every time...would be a HUGE issue damaltor [02:04] thanks gusy [02:04] ooh... YES. [02:04] guys [02:04] hello, can anybody tell me what the following means if i want to use the parallel port? ioctl(/dev/lp0, PPCLAIM) failed: 22 Invalid argument [02:04] grizlo42: just turn that port forwarding off whenever possible, enjoy your apache tinkering :) [02:04] Megaqwerty: Anyway, the uncompressed is on my hd [02:04] FloodBot1, is silly. [02:04] ingo__: huh. No idea then. Sorry. [02:05] FloodBot1, is a very helpful bot. [02:05] damaltor: won't help, I'm not using 7.10 at the mo' [02:05] Alan_M, so how do I keep it from mounting automatically? [02:05] Sindacious: cool.

Now that you're there, run sudo make uninstall [02:06] folks any news concerning netbeans being broken on AMD64? [02:06] hey, i'm using this webcam program and it's asking me to input the serial port of the webcam. lsusb gives me : "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000". what is ther serial port? [02:06] Alan_M, well, when I unmount it how am I supposed to find the name under /dev? [02:06] damaltor: well heres the story: I put in the 7.10 livecd, it says it connecting at the icon in the tray, then it is connected, but still not working in firefox or anything else - [02:06] it should be something like /dev/sdb1 or something similar. [02:06] Devourer: use "df -h" when it's mounted to learn its /dev entry [02:07] but, df -h will tell you for certain what it is. [02:07] mneptok, neato. [02:07] damaltor: works fine in feisty [02:07] Devourer, type that in terminal. [02:07] kholerabbi: nice. =) sometimes it helps, if you kill that nasty tray icon (didnt work for me either) and then type "dhclient eth0" on console. [02:07] Megaqwerty: NOTE: Not all installed files are removed, as different distributions install ndiswrapper files at different places. [02:07] how do i find my source tree? [02:07] so ... my problem is that i can't install out of my gutsy- repositories, because apt tries to connect localhost -->Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release.gpg Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) [02:07] anyone a idea??? [02:07] damaltor: really and that works? [02:08] I just learned the df -h trick today mneptok, gimme a few days and that ones gonna be implanted in my head :) [02:08] Sindacious: yes, it does indeed say that. It then states that you just have to run it multiple times so it works (not sure why it works like that though) === CR_cwek_Toket_Gd is now known as coJKT_Maniac_SU2 === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [02:08] kholerabbi: well, it worked for me, and the tray icon didnt. so it is worth a try while you cannot brake anything in a live distro =) [02:08] damaltor, it spit this out at me. :( mkdosfs: Will not try to make filesystem on full-disk device '/dev/sdf' (use -I if wanted) [02:08] Megaqwerty: How would I know if it's off :P ?

If it is, just open it as root "sudo nano /etc/modules" and delete it from the file. Just reboot, then you're all set! [02:19] ingo__: are you trying via package manager in the GUI or via terminal (apt-get)? [02:19] Sindacious: it's a file, not a folder [02:20] Sindacious: I have to reboot my router, brb in like 5 mins. [02:20] Does anyone know or a easy way to limit incoming/outgoing tcp/upd traffic via IPTABLES ? [02:20] i can shutdown my laptop because the shutdown icon was gone how do i restore it? [02:20] polishpaul: both - of course, the same problem ... what is the module festival? [02:20] i cant* [02:21] oboy03: try the "System" menu [02:21] then? [02:21] oboy03: i dunno. maybe that big "QUIT" icon? [02:22] the quit is there but no shutdown option [02:22] Sindacious: sorry about that. Back [02:22] it was there a while ago then poof [02:22] gone [02:22] oboy03: you might try clicking it, just to see what it does. [02:22] no shutdown option [02:22] Sindacious: so, did you check the file? [02:23] oboy03: yes, there is. [02:23] Megaqwerty: ok, and I checked the file, it's nothing about ndiswrapper [02:23] hey, i'm using this webcam program and it's asking me to input the serial port of the webcam. lsusb gives me : "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000". what is ther serial port? [02:23] Sindacious: excellent. Then you're clena [02:23] *clean [02:23] oboy03: the shutdown option is in the quit panel as always [02:23] Does anyone know the command I would run to open port 3389 on IPTables allowing any IP address to connect through it? Most of the guides I have read haven't really specified anything close to what I need to do. [02:23] no its not [02:24] :( [02:24] Megaqwerty: Okay, thanks a lot for your help ^^, one more question though, is there a place were you can look at Wireless networks in the area? [02:24] Alan_M, i know that and i am aware of the great service the people here are doing to us...but im just hopeless cuz ive been trying to get this working for a while now and im just getting frustrated.... [02:24] ingo__: what happens when you apt-get update ? [02:24] Sindacious: that would be left clicking the Network-Manager-Applet and looking at the list [02:24] very stupid question, but i just CANNOT rememer the commands for installing a downloaded zip file? [02:24] i wasn wondering if anyone could refresh me [02:24] sp0ro: did you ever *close* 3389? [02:25] unzip? [02:25] there are files inside it [02:25] just folders... [02:25] configure make make install? [02:25] ./configure ? [02:25] Karsyth: "installing" a zip file? or extracting it? [02:25] anybody ever worked with lcd4linux? PLEASE... [02:25] installing [02:25] I found a kill command in Ubuntu. >< [02:25] Megaqwerty: Is that only possible if there are wireless networks in the area? I can't see a list selections :/ [02:25] sindacious: have you heard of wicd [02:26] sp0ro: iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT [02:26] mneptok: No, but when I added port 3389 to the list of SSH ports to use on a server, it won't allow me to connect even when the router is configured to allow it. So I figured it was something set in IPTables no allowing permission to connect from an outside host to the server via SSH through port 3389 [02:26] Karsyth: what is this zip file? [02:26] PRess Controll+ alt + shipt + something else = restart [02:26] >< [02:26] Where does gnome store themes? [02:26] i keep trying to CD to the directory where it is and ./configuring it, but it says no directory found [02:26] its the ETpatch [02:26] the same problem - it tries to connect to localhost. i installed some stuff && yet try to disable some modules, which may link apt to 127.0.0.1 [02:26] sYn_0n3: Yeah, but last time I put it on it didn't work [02:26] Anyone can help me with limiting outgoind/incoming traffic on iptables ? [02:26] Sindacious: yes, it would show networks in the area. For example, in the beginning, you saw the network "test" [02:26] sp0ro: iptables has no restrictions by default [02:26] sindacious are you using encrytion? [02:26] i used set compiz-fusion to use ctrl + left/right to move to different desktops then i realised that this conflicted with the function of control when navigating around text, where are the settings to change this back? [02:26] sp0ro: check your /etc/ssh/sshd_config [02:26] Megaqwerty: Okay, thanks then :) [02:26] sYn_0n3: I wouldn't know :/ [02:26] my machine is having trouble pulling an ip from my router... it did this before and I don't remember how i solved it... its using the 'tulip' driver... anyone have any idea? [02:27] hey, what package do I install in Gutsy AMD64 to get the latest version of Sun's Java? I don't care about the plugin, I need to run programs seperately from Firefox. [02:27] is there a possibility to restart the modules without rebooting? [02:27] sp0ro: and restart the sshd daemon after any changes to the configs [02:27] Sindacious: np [02:27] mneptok, enemy territory 2.60b patch [02:27] andguent: Thanks, I'll try that. mneptok: I added 3389 underneath "Port 22" in sshd_config, so I'm not sure what would be causing it. :/ [02:27] sp0ro: the daemon can listen only on one port. pick one. [02:27] HorizonXP: search for jre or jdk in your favorite package manager [02:27] sindacious.. so your just trying to scan? [02:28] ingo__, rmmod modulename & modprobe modulename ? [02:28] lsusb or lspci where is your wireless card [02:28] mneptok: I would respectfully dissagree, sshd can handle multiple port directives in its sshd_config [02:28] ingo__: which modules? Try checking your proxy settings, also, 'cat /etc/hosts' and check for anything funny (see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/6719) [02:28] sYn_0n3: Me ? [02:28] : no i just want to restart the boot modules [02:28] sindacious: yes [02:28] ingo__: also cat /etc/resolf.conf [02:29] andguent: but it's non-trivial, and trhe first thing to eliminate to fix connectivity issues. [02:29] Sindacious: you could also try iwlist wlan0 scan [02:29] mneptok, andguent: LOL, I feel so stupid. All it was, was I forgot to restart SSH. Big operator error there. ;) [02:29] ingo__: do you have anon-proxy installed? [02:30] some forums point to that as the problem [02:30] sp0ro: netstat -ntlp is your friend :) [02:30] Megaqwerty: In terminal? [02:30] Sindacious: yeah [02:30] sp0ro: you should usually put multi-port directives on individual lines [02:30] sYn_0n3: 06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) <--That? [02:30] mneptok: I did :) [02:30] friend of mine needs to know how he can figure out what type of ram he has from in ubuntu... anyone know? [02:30] Megaqwerty: wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning. :/ [02:30] hey, i'm using this webcam program and it's asking me to input the serial port of the webcam. lsusb gives me : "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000". what is ther serial port? [02:31] : yes, but not cognizant - what does anon-proxy make - is it in use with tor? [02:31] Sindacious: ah, well sorry I can't help further at this point as I must depart. I'd recommend trying to get kismet as well, "the king of wireless scanners" sudo apt-get install kismet. It's launched by sudo kismet -i wlan0. Good luck! [02:32] how do i install .zip files? whenever i try to ./configure it says there is no such file or directory, and ive triple checked and im not typing anything wrong [02:32] Karsyth-> you dont install zip files directly [02:32] Megaqwerty: :) Thanks [02:33] amenado, how should i do it then? [02:33] sindacious: what are u using as a network manager [02:33] Karsyth first understand you must unzip [02:33] is it possible to run a process in a background , and then come back to it and see its output ? [02:33] trying to run a game server - srcds - but its not the only thing that i'm trying to host [02:33] andguent: Thanks a lot for all the help tonight, I'm off to go make some dinner. Take it easy [02:33] sYn_0n3: The default? I'm fairly new to linux [02:34] ingo__: not familiar with anon-proxy, try removing that and see how it goes [02:34] : my system/prefs/network-proxy says, that i am directly connected with internet [02:34] sindacious: so you are using gnome network manager [02:34] ok good, try removing the package (check for other proxy packages) [02:34] sindacious: i uninstalled it and used wicd [02:34] ok - i will try it - brb === lipsinOffline is now known as lipsin [02:35] what package do I need to install in order to get the ffmpeg headers? I don't see a dev package, can someone help me?

After reconfigure the Xserver, I type startx but seems the old session (showing black screen ctrl-alt-f7) still exist. How do I kill the old session of x? [03:04] baalsgate: stop, no one will help you that way. [03:04] NAM, ask #windows [03:04] thanks [03:04] <|2-bits|> baalsgate: Could you be a bit more specific?

[03:06] orudie: ctrl-a k also ctrl-a ? gets you cheat sheet [03:06] robilive: while booting, the grub menu should show you a selection of OS's to boot into. I believe if you hit E for edit, you can add parameters. (single or something like /bin/bash) which will let you in the box without authentication [03:06] tonywong.. ctrl+alt+backspace [03:06] baalsgate: do you have a question? [03:06] ingo__: awesome! yw [03:06] hi somebody can help me please [03:06] guys when i do the aplay -l command, it doesnt show my soundcard..... I can tell u that sound used to work, but for some reason it isnt working anymore [03:06] I notice in Firefox that many websites I visit dont look as good as they do in Internet Explorer...What can be done to make websites look better? [03:06] I have this problem E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [03:07] polishpaul, can you also do something like init 1 at a terminal to get to single user mode? [03:07] jrib, finding it hard to find the documentation to get the equivilant of chkconfig to start NTP [03:07] heogen, your update manager or synaptic is open [03:07] heogen: what were you trying to do? [03:07] heogen, you can not have two programs using the software package system at once [03:07] robilive: can you wait here for a minute while i test it out so i can give you exact instructions? [03:07] quick question: any idea when 7.10 will be getting gnome 2.22? [03:07] Gatton: that's a good idea... [03:07] ok [03:07] trying... [03:07] <[Neurotic]> Heya, I have a USB headset pluged in, how can I work out what /dev point it hooks up to? [03:07] ok polishpaul ... then I have to edit the line in GRUB with a /bon/bash at the end? [03:07] [Neurotic], well it should be detected by alsa. is it? [03:07] jrib when a trying to install a program [03:08] heogen: tell me the exact command [03:08] polishpaul, if is possible, tank you so much :D [03:08] robilive: yeah, something like that.. let me double check for you. [03:08] What is the default login password for root of Ubuntu LiveCD 7.10? [03:08] [Neurotic], lsusb? [03:08] [Neurotic], at least as far as i know. usb/pci shouldnt matter. it should appear to alsa [03:08] tnak you polishpaul :D [03:08] jrib show dont let me do it [03:08] you would then just use 'passwd' to change root's pass.. one moment plz [03:08] Oh, it logs in by itself.... [03:08] !root [03:08] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:08] dpkg [03:08] jrib dpkg [03:08] heogen: you can't have two open at the same time [03:08] baalsgate: you installed the ntp package? [03:08] heogen: just told you [03:08] holy deep ubotu [03:08] !noroot [03:08] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [03:08] kestir no [03:08] <[Neurotic]> xtknight, it is, but I have some code that is recording on /dev/dsp and I need to change it so it records through the right /dev point [03:08] jrib, just want to set NTP service to start at startup , yes NTP is installed [03:08] <[Neurotic]> it does show up on Alsa, yes [03:08] heogen: yes of course "dpkg" doesn't do anything. It will throw errors. [03:08] polishpaul, Please dont suggest that [03:09] I notice in Firefox that many websites I visit dont look as good as they do in Internet Explorer...What can be done to make websites look better? [03:09] [Neurotic], hmm maybe theres a /dev/dsp1 or something. ls /dev/dsp* [03:09] jrib yeah [03:09] yw? - what does it mean? ^^ [03:09] is there any tool that i can use to adjust the size and orientation of my display with a gui ? [03:09] baalsgate: iirc, all you need to do is install the ntp package. It will set itself up. Have you found that not to be the case? [03:09] [Neurotic], or perhaps you can set /dev/dsp to the proper device, elsewhere? [03:09] heogen: what are you trying to install? [03:09] Login already, but it is not 1024x768 resolution....800x600? or 640x480 I think.... [03:09] jrib and the system say me lock it [03:09] Jack_Sparrow: suggest single user? why not? he does not have a root password [03:09] Xcerca, if your using nvidia drivers nvidia-settings [03:09] help, how do i get back ctrl functionality so it moves the cursor one word when used with left/right arrow [03:09] yw = you're welcome [03:09] <[Neurotic]> xtknight, there is a /dev/dsp1 maybe that is it, I tried that, didn't seem to work. Hmnn.. good point about moving the devide, I will give that a shot [03:09] ingo__: yw = you're welcome [03:10] jrib jsut update [03:10] the new program [03:10] jrib [03:10] heogen: you want 'sudo apt-get update' [03:10] [Neurotic], well i mean like in sound properties it says use this device for recording, use that, etc.. it might be saying "/dev/dsp is this device" [03:10] Gatton: i just relized.. init 1 may not work if he's not root? [03:10] ah, i see. :-) [03:10] <|2-bits|> Y-Town: I don't think there is much you can do. Most of that has to do with bad web page design that causes rendering errors on standards-compliant browsers... [03:10] <[Neurotic]> xtknight, I'm trying to get skype-rec to work on my setup (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeRecordingHowto) [03:10] heogen: and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' afterwards [03:10] !apt > heogen (read the private message from ubotu) [03:10] polishpaul, Better to see what he want to do...that he needs root [03:11] [Neurotic], does skype have options for selecting the device [03:11] |2-bits|: daqrn... [03:11] sfears yea i have that set up, but the panels stick way off the edge of the screen [03:11] <|2-bits|> Y-Town: However!

[03:11] Please visit [03:11] heogen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:12] Jack_Sparrow: ok, i just saw that someone didn't have their root pass so i suggested single usering and setting root. I don't see any harm in that. [03:12] <[Neurotic]> xtknight, yes it does.. I'm going to try setting them all to default.. so in theory it goes through /edv/dsp and see if that works [03:12] <[Neurotic]> xtknight, thanks [03:12] sounds like your resolution is bigger than your screen size or your using dual monitors you have one screen dragged ontop of the other Xcerca [03:12] robilive: i found a tutorial that may help - http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub [03:12] <|2-bits|> Y-town: That is a script that installs several versions of IE on linux [03:12] polishpaul, We do not suggest people set root password.

[03:13] Anyone here good with mounting USB disks? I have an SD card in a USB reader that I'd like to mount... it's on an ubuntu-server system, so hotplug is not running (?) or maybe just isn't picking it up.

[03:16] Jack_Sparrow: no idea [03:16] baddog144, did you download firefox source files?

[03:34] bruenig, i get a dollar sign prompt [03:34] Gatton: echo "$SHELL" [03:34] Gatton: that's login shell [03:35] bruenig, i get the same shell as before [03:35] hehe [03:35] that is not a login shell, that is the dash shell [03:35] Gatton: but the shell you are actually using is dash, not bash [03:35] hence, that method is fail [03:35] tonyyarusso: I think that might be the solution :o) [03:35] bruenig, you learn something everyday :-) thanks [03:35] * usser well yea I mean you should know what shell you are running [03:35] period [03:36] Starnestommy: I dont have control of when I loose it :O( [03:36] but still [03:36] bruenig, so is dash supposed to be a compatible replacement for bash? [03:36] basically here is how I see it, if you haven't explicitly called another shell, you are using the login shell, which you can find out using echo $SHELL. If you have explicitly called another shell, then you know because you called it after all. [03:37] Gatton: they aren't compatible completely [03:37] so how do I disable Xgl? [03:38] I'm tired of compiz crashing on me, I want to switch back to pekwm [03:38] bruenig: when I do dash (learning my daily thing here) env reports _=/bin/dash, is that repeatable with other shells? I don't have another installed to test with at the moment [03:38] but I can't quite figure out what's starting xgl, and pekwm seems unable to grab the root window with it running [03:38] nickrud: when I do env, I get _=/usr/bin/env so... [03:39] does anyone know where to learn c++ (for really really beginner) [03:39] karuna_bd1: a book of course === ce_sexi is now known as ady [03:40] bruenig: any good recommendations? books are really expensive in malaysia [03:40] bruenig: I see that when I'm in my login shell, I guess I'll install a couple others to test. Hope I don't get lost in them :) [03:40] karuna_bd1: I don't know, you can probably piece it together from online stuff if you wanted to [03:40] jrib: thanx bro, this worked out perfect [03:40] * usser zsh FTW [03:40] nickrud: oh I see that when I am in my login shell too [03:41] zsh is a neat toy [03:41] scripting in it is silly however [03:41] nickrud: hey, i fixed my database by just simply reinstalling phpmyadmin [03:42] orudie: heh. Nice [03:42] :) [03:42] I'm barely bash literate after all these years, I don't need to try another [03:42] =-O [03:42] Anyone who can tell me what widgets people use to get full size'd icons on the bottom instead of the regular styled gnome look? [03:43] S82, I use cairo-dock [03:43] S82: you a mac style dock? [03:43] yep [03:43] sec ill show you what i mean [03:43] S82: awn or kiba-dock if you have compiz [03:43] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=70284&file1=70284-1.gif&file2=70284-2.jpg&file3=&name=Dark+Ice+Emerald [03:43] I have compiz and cairo [03:44] I guess thats cairo dock? [03:44] is having a program residing in ramdisk run any faster? or it only meant loading it is faster? [03:44] S82: that's kiba-dock [03:44] S82: that is avant-window-navigator [03:44] S82, there are several themes... I use the cairo doc with osx theme [03:45] crdlb: is it? looks like kiba to me [03:45] usser: yes :) [03:45] hi all. Nice dock etc. S82 Anyone have an idea how to get texlive working [03:46] crdlb, okay avant also known as awn yeh? [03:46] go on....crdlb...... [03:46] can u get linux for mobile phone [03:46] roantreb: you just install it and it works :/ [03:46] S82: yup [03:46] anyone notice KDE seems to be faster than gnome for large amounts of windows/movement? just in general stuff redraws and feels faster, i dont know what it is [03:46] TrustNoOne-> there are claims thats it has been done [03:47] TrustNoOne: that would be cool [03:47] cant find kiba nor awn under synaptic though, do i need to cvs it? [03:47] xtknight, I actually feel gtk apps are faster than Qt apps [03:47] ......mmm..... From the distro site or is it meant to be from a repository [03:47] at least Qt < 4.0 [03:48] chuy_max, really. interesting. i have the opposite experience [03:48] While in working on a file in Vim, how would i save and quit? I cant seem to be able to do it [03:48] zero88: :wq :x ZZ [03:48] pick one they all work [03:48] you have to press escape then type that [03:48] :wq [03:48] yes be in command mode for sure [03:48] bruenig, it's so easy.. how could we have not known that [03:48] lol [03:48] obviously in insert mode, it will just insert [03:48] bruenig, ive tried that, and hit enter ,but nothing work [03:49] what's a good way to tell what's got my root window locked? [03:49] even when I kill metacity, I can't start my other window manager [03:49] zero88: what does it say at the bottom? [03:49] bruenig, insert [03:49] zero88: you are in insert mode, see xtknight's message about how to get to command mode: esc [03:49] zero88, press escape, type :wq the npress enter [03:50] crdlb, or usser does it need to come from cvs or some other rep than the official? [03:50] get in command mode, :wq (write+quit); enter (acknowledge command) [03:50] xtknight, bruenig there it is. thanks alot :) [03:50] * bruenig uses :x most often [03:50] zero88, i like nano better personally. nano's save is ctrl+W (write) i think and then ctrl+X exit if you find vim confusing. [03:50] err ctrl+O [03:50] writeOut [03:51] depends on what you are doing with it, try programming in nano, not fun [03:51] S82: it will be in the repos for hardy (the next release of ubuntu), but for gutsy you'll have to use some sort of 3rd party repository [03:51] i just like gedit mostly, nice highlighting, etc [03:51] <`LePGeL[BoY]> i miss this place [03:51] crdlb, got any suggestions to any i can use perhaps? i dont wanna abandon gutsy for hardy :O [03:51] * nickrud is itching to get his hands on a hardy rc [03:51] xtknight, ya vim is a little confusing i will try nano [03:52] just depends on what you're used to i guess [03:52] just run "vimtutor" you will figure it out [03:52] block highlights can be very useful [03:52] once it does click in about 2 weeks, you will be good to go [03:52] scott, why don't u logout and choose another wm [03:52] <`LePGeL[BoY]> is hardy already out? [03:52] !hardy [03:52] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [03:52] S82: yea awn is not included you have to use third party repo [03:52] hai cew [03:52] chuy_max: I did, I've officially chosen no wm [03:52] chuy_max: I log in, I have no window manager [03:53] !hardy [03:53] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [03:53] but still, pekwm cannot grab the root window -- yet metacity has no problems. I'm not quite sure what the deal is [03:53] is having a program residing in ramdisk run any faster? or it only meant loading it is faster? [03:53] usser, ah well guessi ll just get the tarball [03:53] Scolo, how are you logging in, gdm? [03:54] amenado: load faster, but it's kinda pointless, linux has pretty good caching [03:54] Hi - I'm using brasero to burn my first DVD. Do I need to include the VIDEO_TS directory on the DVD? Is that the top level of the path? [03:54] scott, [03:54] chuy_max: [03:54] yeah I'm using gdm [03:55] nickrud i thought so too, i thought someone here mentioned about having a program in ramfs makes it faster, which i doubted..anyhow... [03:55] S82: there's a deb for it hang on [03:55] kubuntu 7.10 is kde3 right? [03:55] xtknight: it's still 3.5 [03:55] ahh [03:55] scott, that's weird, let me see, I'm logging in pekwm, brb [03:56] Starnestommy, is kde4 usable even? [03:56] usser there is? some private repository or public one? [03:56] out of alpha stage/etc [03:56] xtknight: I've never tried it [03:57] S82: here take a look here ignore all the stuff about ati drivers and just follow install tips for awn http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=581620 [03:57] scott, I just logged out, select options-> session-> pekwm, I'm running it right now [03:57] chuy_max: I should mention I'm trying to use pekwm with gnome, I had it working previously and have used a setup like that for eons. But I'm trying to switch back from compiz-fusion to pekwm [03:57] S82: I assume you have compiz installed and working? [03:57] :o [03:57] usser, aye ofcourse :) thanks alot :) [03:58] S82: no problem [03:58] chuy_max: I've always used pekwm with gnome, but with gutsy I thought I'd try compiz-fusion for a while...and I'm tired of Xgl freezing, so I'm moving back [03:58] except I'm not having much bloody luck [03:58] i wanted to install an irc server and services, which si the best combination [03:58] hi [03:58] bah fuck it, I'll just keep using compiz-fusion [03:59] !language [03:59] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:00] why didn't he just uninstall xgl [04:01] Hello [04:01] I'm with a problem with my internet connection [04:02] It seems that it's okay, but the lookup takes a lot of time [04:02] anyone played alien arena? === albyyx is now known as GaMe|OvEr [04:02] karuna_bd1: yea [04:02] karuna_bd1: its quake2 basically [04:03] usser: is it good? never played quake [04:04] karuna_bd1: yea its pretty fast paced and fun, openarena is better though as its based on quake3 engine [04:05] usser: ok cooll, im gonna install it [04:05] Is there a way to play MIDI in XINE (possibly through TiMidity, which works great)? === amidanie1 is now known as amidaniel [04:09] hello people, my question is this, how do i revert my system back to before it was updated? running ubuntu 8.04 [04:09] ninja: reinstall [04:10] !downgrade | ninja [04:10] ninja: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [04:10] seriously thats my only hope huh? [04:10] ninja: kill and reinstall [04:10] i dont want to downgrade to an older ubuntu, i just want the updates off [04:11] ninja: then ask in #ubuntu+1. This is support for stable versions only [04:11] the updates killed my sound, so i figure that would fix it [04:11] ninja umm dont run updates ? [04:11] um no shit but i already did [04:11] ninja, come to #ubuntu+1, nobody here cares [04:12] is it possible to remove permissions entirely? its getting very tedious having to run commands as root and whatnot [04:12] like i give a fuck if anyone cares lol, someone might [04:12] im the ONLY one who is going to be using this PC [04:12] Karsyth: what are you doing that requires sudo so much? [04:12] ninja: Hardy is alpha software. #ubuntu+1 is the place for Hardy support, thanks. [04:12] ninja, nobody caring means nobody is going to help you here; come to #ubuntu+1, stop the swearing, and I'll help you out [04:12] jrib: i have to set permissions in my ET folder for each and every folder, and sometimes the permissions i change dont save. then i have to do it all over agin [04:13] does anyone here have or had any experience with srcds ? i have a rather simple question [04:13] jrib: unless its extremely important, i would just rather not have permissions and have myself as the "root" or admin [04:13] i dont have clue one on how to switch channels [04:13] then say that :p [04:13] what program, xchat? [04:13] /join #ubuntu+1 will usually do it [04:13] Karsyth: explain your ET issue. Running as root is dumb [04:13] fuck ubuntu [04:14] is there maybe a forum for noobs like me, i hit everything google spat out and ive got about 200 bucks worth of books that dont help at all [04:14] jrib: in order for ET to save my cfg files i need the permissions to write and read [04:14] jrib: that way it will save my profiles instead of having to make a new one each and every time i load [04:14] ninja: Why are you running Hardy? [04:14] Karsyth: so explain what you are doing exactly. What permissions are you setting? [04:15] ninja, hardy isn't ready for general use yet; pretty much every place you would have downloaded it should have had warnings to that effect. Things break on any given day, wireless, sound, x, etc [04:15] it DID work with my hardware, but not now, lost windows cant afford to buy windows again so i thought this linux thing would be cool, but its so broken [04:15] jrib: i have to set permissions for my User (Karsyth) to write and read files, that way when i launch ET and make a profile i can SAVE it too. otherwise it doesnt save the profile [04:15] jrib: i have to set the permissions for my ET folder and subfolders to be exact [04:15] and ubuntu 7.** wouldnt even install [04:15] Karsyth: type the exact commands you use [04:15] ninja: Right, but why not use the stable version? Ubuntu 7.10. Hardy isn't fit for human consumption yet [04:16] jrib: im just right clicking the folder [04:16] ninja, gutsy was the version to try. Hardy breaks things that _were_ _working_, as thingsare developped [04:16] ninja: What wouldn't work with the install of 7.10? [04:16] ninja, however, join #ubuntu+1, or reinstall from 7.10 [04:17] like i said i dont know how to get to a dif channel, and i am runnin this ubuntu as the other ones didnt work, but im just looking for maybe a website that google hasnt sugested for a nob like me, === _max is now known as max [04:18] ninja type /j #ubuntu+1 thanks [04:18] ninja: The most recent hardy updates broke (for pretty much everyone) : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=722886 [04:18] your welcome, i guess bazhang [04:18] does anyone have an acount for the ubuntu wiki? I have a tip on sound troubleshooting that's not listed, worked for me and another person when nothing else worked, so I think it should be listed [04:19] * scragar cannot seem to find a register page for it.... [04:19] scragar: You can create an account. Ah, let me grab it for you [04:19] see scrager knows my pain, what did you do to fix it scragar? [04:19] did the new update break something?

[04:23] how can I restart alsa on ubuntu 7.10? It's gone funny but I don't want to restart my system [04:23] I'm having some trouble with getting my geforce 8800gt to work on ubuntu [04:23] Hello [04:23] fuck the version im using, forget about hardy, what ever ubuntu im using wont the same thing work? [04:24] !guidelines > ninja (read the private message from ubotu) [04:24] as far as undoing updates [04:24] ninja: No. Because the issues thats wrong with hardy right now breaks everythign. [04:24] ninja oy with the language [04:24] ninja: you are using an alpha version. Ask for help in #ubuntu+1, not here. [04:24] put me on ignore if ya dont like it [04:24] ninja: We'd really like to see you install 7.10. We can help you installing that if you'd like. [04:24] I can't get a gui up, a driver issue I assume? [04:24] i compiled a kernel , the aufs compiled for this not loaded perfectly with kernel why? [04:24] ninja: I don't want to ban you. I want you to get help. Please follow the rules [04:24] ninja, oh my........not good [04:25] ninja please stop with the language [04:25] i repeat, 7.04 (all 4 burns) dont install, md5 checksum checks out [04:25] but lets pretend that im using 7.04 [04:26] :( just my luck, instant I register help.ubuntu stops responding... [04:26] ninja: What doesn't work about it? [04:27] the install lol, im just sitting here now reading and hoping that someone with the same problem comes along, just ignore me, im done repeating myself [04:27] ninja: You broke your entire system with the update (on hardy) plain and simple. Everyone who updated did. There's not a whole lot we can do for you. [04:27] thats fine, ignore me now, maybe ill see some help come along [04:27] After putting in a geforce 8800, I can't get the xserver to start, any ideas?

[04:29] gregbrady: That the base install (or at least the DVD) doesn't include random more technical utilities. [04:29] ninja....www.microsoft.com. Go nuts [04:30] lol [04:30] Peng, such as?

I've noticed that while this machine (Acer 4520 w/Ubuntu 7.1) works fine with regular sounds (I can play MP3's just fine and AlsaMixer runs), the regular "system beep" (such as when you hit backspace on an empty command line) doesn't sound (nor does the "beep" program work).

[04:40] Peng, did you check it out? [04:40] oh, well the harware is different so it sees a diff machine best bet is to reinstall [04:41] condor: but I don't want to lose my data....Isn't there a way to fix that? [04:41] hey guys ubuntu isnt detecing my soundcard [04:41] usurpergoat: you probably can find it by type in your terminal ... df -h [04:41] I tried alot of "solutions" but it doesnt seem to work [04:41] yea dont reformat [04:41] the sound worked fine, but then i think i updated, and things hit the fan and spread all over the living room [04:42] im having the same issue quakky [04:42] condor: So, just run the liveCD, hit install, but don't reformat?

I can't log in through the gui and I did dpkg --configure -a and now errors were encountered when processing: policykig, hal, gnome-mount, ubuntu-desktop, gnome-session, and more what should i do? [04:45] bazhang, ty [04:45] how do i take all rights away from a user except read [04:45] M__: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support, thanks [04:45] M__, -> #ubuntu+1 [04:45] IcemanV9: /dev/sda2 37G 100% in use, mounted on / [04:46] M__: #ubuntu+1 for that please ;] [04:46] yea your new machine has diff components so it needs new drivers [04:46] haha [04:46] any help with getting my nokia n72 working? [04:46] IcemanV9: it doesn't give me any more detail [04:46] obexftp / wammu failed [04:46] ok, it looks like in the forums others have gotten the 8800 working with latest drivers [04:46] I don't know why my xserver won't start though [04:46] and if possible, reading form only home dir and a specific directory on the system [04:46] usurpergoat: in / directory ... wow. did you try to install or update when it happened? [04:47] jiggy yeah the drivers are fine with that card; it is really nice apparently ;] [04:47] jiggy likley you need to install them and reconfigure xorg before that will happen [04:47] inssight, chmod -wx+r foobar [04:48] ninja: when u run 'alsamixer' do u get function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [04:48] Peng, I hope you found what you were looking for! If not, just ask here, a great bunch of people can help you out. [04:48] IcemanV9: no, the only thing i was doing was listening to MP3 with Xmms and using Rdesktop. then i got a pop up that said 100% full [04:48] ninja: ? [04:48] should I tackle that from the command line, or unplug the card? [04:48] not sure, ill try it and paste the results [04:48] jiggy can you boot up in vesa? [04:48] vesa? [04:48] techno_freak, so that takes away write, execute, and adds read? [04:48] the low res mode jiggy? [04:49] inssight, yes [04:49] is that an option from grub? [04:49] is it possible to update gnome to 2.2? [04:49] would i create a group for the user where the group is only allowed in a certain directory? [04:49] inssight, use o-wx+r for others [04:49] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [04:49] usurpergoat: okay. /tmp might be filled up. [04:50] ninja: ya im getting the same crap... [04:50] time to go distrohoping again, maybe one will work, eventualy lol [04:50] inssight, you can create a group, make the file owned by the group and make something like g-wx+r o-rwx [04:50] usurpergoat: in the terminal, type sudo aptitude autoclean [04:51] hiya all I'm having problems with my v4l compatible webcam a program trying to grab from it is showing this error in the terminal VDIOCGCHAN: Invalid argument [04:51] ninja: use a stable ubuntu release... [04:51] ninja: I think im giving up on ubuntu....thank god i duel boot..cuz i can go back to XP anytime [04:51] if anyone can think of possible reasoning behind it [04:51] i thought hopefully someone would help you so id know how to fix my issue quakky, oh well, tried alot of forums, came up with nothing [04:51] hey can oneone tell me where to look to find out what would be blocking my SWAT from being viewable in the browser ? [04:51] what about making a whole directory for the group, is this step even necessary? can i just add a list of allowed dirs for the users prexisting group? ? [04:51] heh and the wrong #channel [04:51] i wish i could, but i cant afford to [04:51] usurpergoat: hopefully it will clean up/remove old stuff [04:51] IcemanV9: lol, freed 0b of disk space [04:51] jrib: u saying 7.10 is not "stable"? [04:51] techno_freak: yeah, but if the user owns the file, can't he/she change the permissions? [04:52] quakky_: ninja is not using 7.10 [04:52] how do I boot in low res mode? [04:52] quakky_: he's not using 7.10 ;] [04:52] usurpergoat: how about this one ... sudo aptitude clean [04:52] but we have the same issue, so the same fix will work [04:52] not so ninja [04:52] jrib: well i guess that makes 7.10 unstable too..cuz im getting the same error even though sound worked find yesterday lol [04:52] prince_jammys, there should be some one able to change permissions, that's why i did not tell anything about user permissions, let him decide [04:53] plus, if you change all files in the user's dir to read-only, the user might not even be able to log in [04:53] Why opens the MCVIEW(1) manpage, if I instruct 'man view' in a Gnome terminal? [04:53] techno_freak, what about making a whole directory for the group, is this step even necessary? can i just add a list of allowed dirs for the users prexisting group? ? [04:53] quakky_: "no sound" is caused by many different things [04:54] IcemanV9: there was no output referencing drive space.. when i type df -h i still got 100% full [04:54] inssight, i do not know the problem you are trying to solve [04:54] Can someone answer - what are some of the things that will prevent compiz "cube" from working ? [04:54] inssight: could you specify a bit more please? which directory etc [04:55] anyone here ever done a netboot with ubuntu? [04:55] jrib: well for me, my ubuntu doesnt detect my soundcard..when i do that command to see the audio devices installed i get this.."aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found..." [04:55] condor how are you attempting this? [04:56] !sound > quakky_ (read the private message from ubotu) [04:56] running a tftp server and then trying to get the laptop to see the server [04:56] ok, well i have a directory on my computer i would like for my friend to be able to browse freely whenever he pleases, via ssh however i only want him to be able to access that directory, and his home dir [04:56] quakky_: I don't know much about sound, but I can point you to the standard sound troubleshooting page [04:56] usurpergoat: in the terminal, sudo du -sh /tmp [04:56] hi hi [04:56] how do I boot in vesa? [04:56] and not be able to modify any files or execute anything unless it's in his home dir [04:57] anyone know a good pdf reader where I can highlight my text in cool yellow and make notes within the reader? [04:57] inssight, and this other directory outside his home directory? [04:57] yes, correct === cwe_1225 is now known as Fe_25 [04:57] jrib: I have done everything but compile my own audio driver [04:57] jrib: if that's what i gotta do then im reinstalling ubuntu [04:57] IcemanV9: 728k [04:58] i compiled a kernel , the aufs compiled for this not loaded perfectly with kernel why? [04:58] but when the laptop looks for the tftp it soesnt find the server [04:58] reinstall quakky_ ? [04:58] hey quakky, did you download any software or just the updates? [04:58] what's wrong quakky_ ? [04:58] I suddenly cannot see video in any video program (totem, mplayer, vlc, cinelerra, etc.) I can hear the audio, but cannot see the video, it doesn't matter on the video type, avi, mpeg, dv, etc. Any ideas what could be wrong? [04:58] usurpergoat: use sudo du -sh each directory until you find one is so large, then go there and find the largest file [04:58] you dont have the codecs? [04:59] sounds like you need the w32codecs Meshezabeel [04:59] condor, I do have the codecs [04:59] olskolirc: long story short..sound worked yesterday ..i did something..soundcard doesnt get detected today..followed all steps and searched the forums [04:59] the videos were always working until just recently [04:59] What's the exact command to reconfigure x, I changed gfx cards and x won't start? [04:59] IcemanV9: ok, thanks... youve put me on the right path [04:59] dido for me on that olsklirc [05:00] [matt@zeus iso]$ md5sum ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [05:00] d2334dbba7313e9abc8c7c072d2af09c ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [05:00] is this correct? [05:00] I'm having a problem with vsftp. I can download but not upload. Any ideas? [05:00] did you try alsoconf quakky_ ? you have to download it then just run alsaconf in the terminal [05:00] olskolirc, I do have the w32codecs [05:00] etc/x11/x11.conf or soemthing [05:00] xorg.conf [05:00] usurpergoat: alright. good luck in finding it. [05:01] !md5sums > smatt (read the private message from ubotu) [05:01] Meshezabeel when all else fails, I dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then reapply my nvidia restricted driver [05:01] olskolirc: no I actually havnt..ill try to figure out how to download it and run it [05:01] condor, my xorg.conf file has not been changed [05:01] shoot i just tried alsoconf, said command not found [05:01] IcemanV9: any ones i might wanna check first? [05:01] that happened to me before Meshezabeel [05:01] no that was for PurpZeY [05:01] olskolirc, okay, thanks will give that a try [05:01] condor: but there is a command sudo dpkg recongfigure xserver xorg or something like that...b/c I need to use a different driver. [05:01] sorry didnt spcify [05:01] con-man, ah, sorry :) [05:02] condor, lol [05:02] quakky down load it like this: sudo apt-get install alsaconf [05:02] sorry guys but i have to run.. i'll post on the forums later [05:02] seriously, can someone verify the md5's for me? I can't find them on the ubuntu.com website [05:02] oh you mean to totally reconfigure the card [05:02] !dpkg [05:02] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [05:02] smatt: I just linked you to them. Check your private messages [05:02] i even searched "md5 sum" and it yielded no results [05:02] smatt: they are in the same place where you downloaded th eiso [05:03] How long takes Tracker to index all files (e-mail, /home and /usr/src)? Mine keeps working for hours. It seems to be broken. [05:03] anyone know a good pdf reader where I can highlight my text in cool yellow and make notes within the reader? [05:03] jrib: I didn't get a msg [05:03] !md5sums | smatt [05:03] smatt: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [05:03] ubotu: thanks [05:03] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:03] olskolirc: the only program that I know of that lets you make notes on a pdf is flpsed, and it doesn't let you highlight. [05:03] Linux henno 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [05:03] but only one core is shown [05:03] bullgard4: it always runs, I believe [05:03] any ideas? [05:03] Can someone please tell me the command for reconfiguring x. I just bought a new video card and I can't start x....I know it's sudo dpkg reconfigure, I think it's xserver xorg? Anyone? [05:04] jrib: : thanks :) [05:04] olskolirc: sudo apt-get install alsaconf doesnt work [05:04] cool pajamian that's a start [05:04] q6600 processor [05:04] PurpZeY: xserver-xorg [05:04] !xconfig > purpzey (read the private message from ubotu) [05:04] smatt: from the internet, i got d2334dbba7313e9abc8c7c072d2af09c [05:04] it doesn't quakky_ ? let me try [05:04] didnt work for me either quakky [05:04] wow they took out alsaconf [05:05] How do I know which driver to use for my new card? [05:05] olskolirc: also, it actually works on .ps files, but it has an internal importer and exporter (which doesn't always work, I've had to manually convert with pdftops at times). [05:05] IcemanV9: /var 31G i think i found it.. lol [05:05] tritium: No, this would be evil. Only the trackerd is a process that does not stop. But it usually sleeps. [05:05] bullgard4: I'm not sure. I don't use it. [05:05] How do I know if it's nv or nvidia? [05:05] ok so check this. i burned that iso using k3b with the verify data option checked. i pop it in the desktop to install (with a freshly dban'd hard drive) and i can't get the thing to run. it throws I/O and read errors out [05:05] nv is nvidia [05:06] tritium: Thank you for commenting. [05:06] I was reading about ps files today. I don't know if I'll ever have any use for them pajamian ? what's it like? [05:06] I've tried with the generic ide options [05:06] PurpZeY: that depends on if you want the open-source or proprietary drivers. [05:06] usurpergoat: mine is only 184M /var [05:06] bullgard4: sure [05:06] still same thing [05:06] tritium: Whichever works.... [05:06] PurpZeY: try nv first, then. [05:06] so can i burn this same iso to my flash drive instead, to rule out it's my cdrom? [05:07] olskolirc: i cant see any point in spending over 3 hours trying to solve my sound issue..i could have reinstalled and updated ubuntu 3 times ... [05:07] PurpZeY: i.e, they should both work, but if you don't specifically need nvidia, stick with nv [05:07] PurpZeY: you need nvidia if you want 3d acceleration though [05:07] olskolirc: the thing about PDF is it's designed to not be modifiable, it's a sort of "electronic paper" format... [05:08] quakky_ why don't you try the update button on the update manager. that usually fixes things [05:08] olskolirc: so you will be hard pressed to find any program that can edit them. flpsed does about as good of a job as I've seen, and it can only add text, it can't remove anything. [05:08] can anyone help me out?? q6600, SMP kernel, but only one core showing up [05:08] olskolirc thats what screwed quakky and i up is the updateing thing [05:08] usurpergoat: something was filling up by either playing the app or updating went wrong. keep looking in /var especially /var/tmp and /var/cache. depends on what du -sh tells ya [05:08] Hey there, its there a way to know the last time i log-on? [05:08] or even go into software sources and find out what broke [05:09] i see the article on lifehacker, but it specifies ubuntu-live. [05:09] IcemanV9: something in /var/backup its at 31G also [05:09] crdlb: I have a larger issue though. X failed to start, I believe b/c I specified the card in the wrong location...It's in PCI Express...What would that location be called xserver-xorg ? [05:09] hey, can an op PM me, my friend is banned and doesn't know why [05:09] ohhh ok ninja [05:09] i figure the same could be done with the desktop? [05:09] olskolirc: im pretty sure i have the most updated version of linux,...and like Ninja said I had sound yesterday..updated today (cuz i was having graphics issues) and i couldnt hear anything [05:09] blind: join #ubuntu-ops [05:09] k, thanks [05:09] then apt-get deselect-upgrade [05:09] ? [05:09] yeah, and i think this holds true for quakky also, but it dosent even recognise that there is a sound card [05:10] there was no better release then fiesty fawn if you ask me [05:10] usurpergoat: okay. you're getting there. did u use backup app? or script? [05:10] sorry quakky, dont mean to speak for ya, but we are having the exact same issue, i knew i wasnt alone lol [05:10] olskolirc: and if you print from linux then you use ps files. [05:10] ohhh ok pajamian [05:10] well apt-get deselect-upgrade doesnt work either [05:10] ninja yours was an update to hardy; different from quakky_'s issue [05:10] oh wow [05:11] could anyone tell me how to access and manipulate my webcam so I don't get a chan error? [05:11] i think im gonna go boot up windows xp...*sigh* [05:12] xp.... [05:12] how is hardy? [05:12] -4--] [05:12] IcemanV9 [05:12] IcemanV9: apparently so.. lol there are backup files from 1 year ago.. [05:12] quakky_, you are using sudo right? [05:12] ya [05:13] Can someone help me reconfigure x properly to start with my new video card. I am getting "Failed to initialize device" and Screens found, but none have usuable configuration [05:13] im putting sudo apt-get deselect-upgrade ..thats how u do it right? [05:13] can anyone help me learn how to install programs [05:13] danny: You can install programs 3 different ways. [05:13] danny: 4 really. [05:13] jiggy: could you hit ctrol alt f1 when you get the black screen and try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:14] !repositories > danny read the message from ubotu [05:14] usurpergoat: ok. you need to decide to remove it or not. or move it to another place such as external drive (if you have one). [05:14] danny: sudo apt-get install packagename after you have the repos enabled and refreshed/reloaded [05:14] anyone have a q6600 and can help a dude out? [05:15] i'm thinking synaptic would be a better way for someone that knows NOTHING about installing [05:15] the only reason i probably going back to xp (for the 2nd time) is because xp doesnt require u to spend 2 days trying to get ur graphics card and sound card to work .... it's all about the drivers.. [05:15] ive never had probs with grfx or sound cards [05:15] IcemanV9: nah, i just want to delete them im in the directory now as root... whats the command to delete? [05:15] well i probably do cuz the hardware i got is pretty new [05:16] what kind of equipment you using condor, or do you have a phd in programming [05:16] lol [05:16] ive been hacking for 25 yrs... [05:16] hi, can someone help me with compiz ? I have an onboard Intel graphics controller and I'm wondering if it will work at all [05:17] ah ok [05:17] its not rocket science [05:17] petercoh8: It can work depending on the card and how much ram you have...it's sort of slow. [05:17] petercoh8: i have an intel mobile graphics card and it works with compiz [05:17] no its more complex than that [05:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot condor this might help; if not I have one other link for you [05:17] bazhang, ill check that out [05:17] like when installing from tar and the dependancies need dependencies [05:17] I've got 1GB Ram [05:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet this is it condor [05:18] and it's an 82865G Intel Controller [05:18] how do you enable dvd playback in ubuntu? [05:18] Can anyone help me get x started with dpkg-reconfigure...I just installed a new gfx card and I can't get any GUI at all...I think I gave dpkg the right settings so I don't know why it's failing [05:18] !dvd > SisyphusINC (read the private message from ubotu) [05:18] usurpergoat: to play safe .. rm -i *. (it'll ask you before remove) [05:18] petercoh8: the experts in #compiz-fusion can sort that in no time ;] [05:18] ok cool the first one i read not the second thanks bazhang [05:18] hey thanks [05:18] whats this private message from ubotu? [05:19] It's secret. [05:19] condor sorry to keep you waiting [05:19] it's when u do things like !sound [05:19] no its cool [05:19] !sound [05:19] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:20] IcemanV9: rm: cannot remove directory `2007-03-12_00.00.02.236818.supergoat-laptop.inc': Is a directory [05:20] why is the a diagonal break across my video playback? [05:20] ah ninja? the sound issue for hardy #ubuntu+1 is a bit different, okay? there are actual people in there right now troubleshooting it if you really want to get that fixed [05:20] ninja: wrong channel for Hardy. You've been told before! [05:21] usurpergoat: that's okay ... i will tell you how to remove that dir after you finished empty out /var/backup [05:21] what tritium? im not talking/typing [05:21] heh [05:21] This is the last time I will repeat, so I am sorry...But, is there anyone who can please help me with a dpkg-reconfigure in order to get my new gfx card working...I am stuck in CLI and I don't know how to fix it. [05:22] PurpZeY: you stuck with out X? [05:22] PurpZeY: state the question [05:23] PurpZeY dpkg-reconfigure tritium: I just installed a new graphics card. X will not start. I tried walking through reconfigure to no avail and I don't really know exactly what settings in reconfigure I need to make it work again [05:23] Is 'kill -9 15904' the proper syntax to stop Tracker from indexing? [05:23] IcemanV9: i got it now. :D rm -r *.inc [05:23] FliesLikeABrick: dpkg-reconfiger xerver-xorg [05:23] PurpZeY: did you select nv, as I told you? [05:23] I'm getting a vdiocgchan: invalid argument line after any v4l dov4l queries to my webcam... any ideas as to how to alleviate this? [05:23] oops [05:23] tritium: I tried both nv and nvidia [05:23] I think people should check this link out. http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=pbrcxtwqob if that doesn't simplify linux nothing will. imo [05:23] PurpZeY: then what? [05:23] usurpergoat: ok. you got it. :P [05:23] my irc just went ballistic on me [05:24] ok PurpZeY I have it [05:24] IcemanV9:now i just have to turn off that backup.. thanks a million, i had no idea on how to figure out where all my disk space was going. [05:24] tritium: Then I followed the the reconfigure and I got "Failed to initialize..." "Screens found but no configuration." I can tell you what other erros you need to know but I can't paste it b/c I have no way of doing so. [05:24] usurpergoat: got lots of space back now? [05:24] PurpZeY: understood [05:24] PurpZeY do: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then reapply your nvidia driver in restricted drivers [05:24] PurpZeY: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:24] IcemanV9: but i knew i wasn't crazy when my HD kept getting fuller and fuller... [05:24] oops [05:25] olskolirc: I am in feisty... [05:25] it should still work PurpZeY but I don't know about reapplying the restriced nvidia driver part. I don't remember [05:26] IcemanV9: 239M in /var now [05:26] usurpergoat: i have seen it quite often at work; sometimes i get paged when the disk is 100% full [05:26] olskolirc: That should not be an issue for me b/c I am in fiesty. I don't have restricted drivers manager...I know the issue you speak of. [05:26] usurpergoat: now that looks right. [05:27] IcemanV9: thanks again, time for bed. cya [05:27] I loved fiesty but I'm spoiled on Gutsy now. ever think about upgrading PurpZeY ? [05:27] alright guys im outta here..thanks for the help.. but 1 last question..should i post on the forums to try to get a solution? [05:27] usurpergoat: terrific. have a good night. [05:27] PurpZeY: indeed would be worth an upgrade [05:27] olskolirc: I'd consider it, but I like my setup and I don't like risking things. That being said atm my priority is to get *something* working [05:27] quakky_: for alsa? [05:28] yes quakky_ post [05:28] bazhang: ya [05:28] olskolirc: ok [05:28] quakky_: some really brilliant folks in #alsa [05:28] bazhang: Like I said, it would be something I'd consider....if feisty was working...atm I have CLI... [05:28] oh im sorry PurpZeY i forgot, what was broke again? [05:29] PurpZeY: get the alternate cd that will do the trick; www.ubuntu.com [05:29] bazhang: oh good idea..ill join that channel see if they can do something [05:29] olskolirc: I just put a new gfx card into my machine...now I got no x. They are both nvidia cards this one is just much better. [05:29] bazhang: While I appreciate the advice I would hope that the fix for the problem isn't, upgrade, that will fix it for sure. [05:29] quakky_: a bit quiet at times, but they will get it sorted when they are awake ;] [05:30] i cant figure out how to search a folder for all files it contains. can anyone help? [05:30] oh yes, PurpZeY : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg you'll be fine [05:30] olskolirc: I did that [05:30] olskolirc: Perhaps I am missing a step in that process....which is sort of what I've been asking [05:30] ewwww bad [05:30] PurpZeY: what card is it? [05:30] finally [05:30] I don't know PurpZeY [05:31] download nvidia (new) [05:31] prince_jammys: GEForce 8800 GT === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [05:32] prince_jammys: That change the situation at all? [05:32] I have an issue nobody can solve. I have a projector for my monitor on an 80 inch hdtv wall hang. I want it to spread out more. Do I adjust the params in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? I'm scared [05:33] to make it wider to fit [05:33] PurpZeY: no idea, i'm looking in google :) [05:33] I have untunt and kubuntu installed on several machines, but I am having issues with my dell server [05:33] bazhang: lol seems #alsa is kinda dead [05:33] I can install every distro / OS on it except for ubuntu/kubuntu get a squashfs error [05:33] part of the way through the install [05:33] prince_jammys: Good idea. If I don't get a fix soon, I'll kick it around tomorrow I guess....But maybe you'll turn up something...Shoulda do it myself. [05:34] anyone seen this before? [05:34] quakky_: hehe well I warned you; but when they are awake they can fix most things in short order [05:34] PurpZeY: you don't have envy installed right? [05:34] prince_jammys: No. [05:34] PurpZeY: ok good. [05:34] I tried the aic7xxx.aic7xxx=no_probe switch [05:34] phew [05:34] bazhang: alright..well it wont hurt to post the problem on the ubuntu forums, and thats what im planning on doing. thanks [05:35] quakky_: okay; sorry I stink at fixing sound problems [05:36] hi [05:36] wouldn't envy be a good thing prince_jammys ? [05:36] !envy [05:36] envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [05:36] ohhh i see [05:37] PurpZeY: is this what you get?: [05:37] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device! [05:37] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration [05:37] hello [05:37] prince_jammys: YES! [05:37] i am having an apache crisis [05:37] i deleted a folder in var/www/ [05:37] and then added a new folder [05:37] PurpZeY: you know how to browse the web from CLI? [05:37] No. [05:38] and when i go to local host, the new folder doesn´t appear [05:38] btw guys when is the next big upgrade happening to ubuntu? i heard it was like less than a month [05:38] PurpZeY: use www-browser or install "elinks" for nicer display [05:38] PurpZeY: check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665018 [05:38] PriceChild, w3m? [05:38] and the folder i reset contents of came up with an error, saying index.php can´t be found [05:38] and i know it is in there [05:38] Out of curiosity....Just to complicate the issue...I did more than update my gfx card. I actually rebuilt my machine completely and supplanted the harddrives....Might I be better off just installing over my current install? [05:38] anyone know what to do? [05:38] i reset cache [05:38] everything [05:38] prince_jammys, w3m? [05:39] chuy_max: that too [05:39] PurpZeY: that can be fixed as well most likely; just need to setup grub again [05:39] Is the wifi setup via CLI under Ubuntu and gOS same? [05:39] PurpZeY: check out that thread. you can do : www-browser http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665018 [05:40] TonyWong: the ifconfig iwconfig sudo dhclient eth0 etc like that? [05:40] prince_jammys, bazhang: grub is working fine. But it is literally a brand new computer....Maybe a fresh install would be better [05:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 TonyWong this is the ubuntu cli way ;] [05:41] pls anyone? [05:41] thx [05:41] i really need this by tomorrow [05:41] PurpZeY: never reinstall when you can spend hours in here ;] [05:42] grizlo42, create an index.html in /var/www [05:42] PurpZeY: if you want ... but you should be able to fix this problem without reinstalling. if looking online from CLI is annoying, boot from live CD [05:42] Is 'kill -9 15904' the proper syntax to stop Tracker from indexing? [05:42] grizlo42: have you tried #apache ? [05:42] and type localhost grizlo42 in firefox [05:42] bazhang: No, I'm serious....I am asking a real question....I built literally scrapped my entire machine except for my hard-drives....Now also Ubuntu isn't recognizing my network card....Is a new install a better way to go? [05:43] grizlo42, does it work? [05:43] prince_jammys: Ubuntu is not recognizing my network card either. [05:43] PurpZeY: I am serious too (except for the length of time); that should be fixable; one problem at a time though [05:43] oh hell PurpZeY at that point scrap it all lol [05:44] yeah [05:44] the index.html thing works [05:44] I was fooling around with kde4 the other day and messed my system up really bad [05:44] olskolirc, thanks, I ran dpkg-reconfigure, and removed the nvidia proprietary drivers. Video playback now works fine, however, when I re-enable the nvidia drivers, I just get a black screen on videos again. [05:44] grizlo42, ok, rename it for index.php, what happens? [05:44] I had to uninstall kde and reinstall kde and kubuntu to get it back [05:44] let me try [05:44] thank god my files systems were still there and all my hard work [05:45] Different question: If I install without formatting, will Ubuntu still have my files present? [05:45] is there a v4l2 wrapper or something to make your device compatible to v4l programs [05:45] PurpZeY: if it is a rather fresh install then just reinstalling would be a good choice, but if you have tons of data you want to save then you might want to try fixing it; just something to consider [05:45] bazhang: I was under the impression that if I reinstalled without reformatting I wouldn't lose data. [05:45] it still works [05:45] PurpZeY: seperate /home partition? [05:45] if rename it [05:46] bazhang: That the only way....Otherwise if I install over I'm out of it? [05:46] grizlo42, ok, so problem solved, isn't it? [05:46] how can i change the permission of /usr/share/azureus so that i can write to it, so that azureus can do updates without running as root? [05:47] any more ideas olskolirc? [05:47] PurpZeY: if you explicitly created a seperate home partition then a reinstall will leave your data alone; if not then no [05:47] TrustNoOne, use chmod [05:47] bazhang: I did not. [05:47] sound issue right Meshezabeel1 ? [05:47] let me check [05:47] i don´t think so [05:47] cause if i delete index.html [05:47] then it shows the folders [05:47] or video Meshezabeel1 [05:47] chuy_max, yeah i got that far but i dont know the entire command to use [05:47] and it doesn´t show all of the ones it should [05:47] olskolirc, video, yes [05:48] TrustNoOne, are you aware of permissions?, rwx? [05:48] hmmm [05:48] can you pull the card? [05:48] and reinstall it [05:48] chuy_max, would it be "sudo chmod +w /usr/share/azureus" [05:48] nope [05:48] Is there a command to revmove an synaptic package manager files? [05:48] problem still there [05:48] oops, Meshezabeel1 pull the card and reinstall it [05:49] TrustNoOne, give full permissions with sudo chmod 777 /usrblabla [05:49] bazhang: I have one crucial partition that is NTFS that I would NEED to save. Otherwise, I'd be OK. [05:49] olskolirc, it is my playback of avi, mpeg, dv, wmv videos that don't work when nvidia proprietary drivers are enabled, it used to work fine but suddenly stopped working last week [05:49] j_: something you installed with synpatic you wish to remove with the cli? is that the thrust of your question? [05:49] ohhh ok Meshezabeel1 [05:49] chuy_max, i dont want full permission, just write so it can do updates, so would i use that command i previously mentioned? [05:49] what is the terminal command to remove all php, mysql, and apache stuff from my comp [05:49] so i can re install [05:49] PurpZeY: you said you just updated everything ... do you have another hard drive lying around? [05:49] TrustNoOne, yes, you can also do that [05:49] bazhang yep [05:49] let me think a second Meshezabeel1 [05:50] prince_jammys: No. But I imagine I could buy one. [05:50] j_: sudo apt-get remove packagename [05:50] anyone? [05:50] bazhang for example i accidently install this game call abuse [05:50] yeah [05:50] bazhang thanks [05:50] Meshezabeel1: cat > /dev/video0 [05:50] but do you know which packages i need to remove? [05:50] prince_jammys: Everything except my harddrives...The idea was to save my hard-drives and just supplant them over to the new machine. [05:50] smack it around a bit lol [05:50] olskolirc: not very helpful [05:50] PurpZeY: you could also try to copy your files to the ntfs partition and then copy back after reinstall ... [05:51] see if he gets scribble bazhang [05:51] grizlo42, what is the problem, I thought you couldn't open php scripts [05:51] PurpZeY: or burn to cd, if they fit [05:51] I'd kill to get my mythtv going [05:51] chuy_max, and so changing permission to write for /usr/share/azureus will only affect azureus folder, not the folders containing it right? so usr and share will not be +w? [05:51] im using a pvr card and im running it through vlc [05:51] olskolirc: mythbuntu? [05:52] say what bazhang ? /me mouth hanging open [05:52] olskolirc, I think I just wiped out my /dev/video0 with the > in the line you gave me [05:52] TrustNoOne, yes, if you want to include files and dirs under that directory, you want to add -R [05:52] prince_jammys: I am not so terribly concerned about the files on my ubuntu drive....It's my other drive I want to try to save really. [05:52] olskolirc: they have a channel for mythbuntu you know [05:52] PurpZeY: the NTFS? that won't be affected [05:52] TrustNoOne, chmod -R +w /blabla [05:53] my issue bazhang is that my config is full screen and my close doesn't close. I have to restart X to get back [05:53] what happened Meshezabeel1 ? [05:53] prince_jammys: So, maybe I get a new install...if of course I can get my computer to recognize my SATA disc drive. If it did that, then I'd be reinstalling already. [05:53] chuy_max, ok that will only affect the folders azureus and the folders within it right? not the folders usr or share? [05:53] TrustNoOne: right, the permissions will affect only the file you say (unless you do -R for recursive when changing permissions for a directory). but the parent dirs will never be affected [05:53] TrustNoOne, right === guest is now known as kavik [05:53] olskolirc, cat > /dev/video0 just hangs, when I try it without the > it says 'no such device', but when I ls, I see a /dev/video0 there [05:53] hello [05:54] TrustNoOne: still seems weird that you would need to do that with azureus, though [05:54] olskolirc: the channel is #ubuntu-mythtv if you are interested [05:54] oh its fine then Meshezabeel1 did you see scribble? [05:54] how do i burn image to cd? [05:54] thanks bazhang I'll write that down [05:55] prince_jammys, because it is the newest version which was a zip file that i just extracted to that location, it had no install script, it just has a run script [05:55] kavik: right click open with cd/dvd creator [05:55] olskolirc, scribble? [05:55] errr, its been a long time since I did that Meshezabeel1 did you hear static? [05:55] kavik, you can easily do it with k3b/gnomebaker [05:55] TrustNoOne: have you tried running it with sudo instead of changing permissions? [05:56] i'm on vista right now [05:56] prince_jammys, i do not want to run any program with sudo unless i have to [05:56] kavik: go to places->cd burner and drag the image file into the window. then select "burn as image" [05:56] isorecorder2 then should work kavik [05:56] I don't have anything to burn the image with [05:56] TrustNoOne: I think the suggestion is you might have to in this scenario. [05:56] kavik, download nero [05:56] olskolirc, hear static from what? From the command you gave me? I didn't hear any static. When playing video I see a black screen, but can hear the audio fine. === KnifeHat_ is now known as KnifeHat [05:57] ner, or isorecorder2 [05:57] why? doesn't gnome already come with a cd burner? [05:57] rianti [05:57] ok Meshezabeel1 im crap out of clues, sorry [05:57] wow prince_jammys knows #bash and vista--I'm impressed ;] [05:57] kavik, nero is the most popular windows burning app [05:57] bazhang: ? [05:57] olskolirc, okay, no problem, thanks for your willingness to help :) [05:57] bazhang: oh ... he's on vista? [05:58] prince_jammys: sorry; just saw you in bash channel earlier [05:58] bazhang: yeah, i'm always on that [05:58] Right now I am just trying to get any operating system up and running. Apparently none of them like it when you replace the entire infrastructure of the machine and don't tell them [05:58] hehe impressive [05:59] I had a plan. [05:59] It just didn't work === u^A is now known as u^A_ [05:59] PurpZeY: fixable in several ways that we have outlined here [05:59] my problem is that when i open localhost, it shows the file directories, which is ok, but they do not reflect the files/folders in /var/www/ [05:59] ! i880 [05:59] it has the contents from about an hour ago [05:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about i880 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:00] what does > in 'cat > something' do? [06:00] Does PIDGEN music messaging plugin works? ? ? Its not working for me for some reasons [06:00] bazhang: Realistically it seems like the Ubuntu fix is to reinstall, and I am OK with that...I don't think anything else is going to work...I see my boot screens...Ubuntu is looking for all sorts of hardware and failing to find it. That'd be the best fix. [06:00] bugay [06:00] j_: Ask in #pidgin [06:00] decay: redirects the output to a file called "something" [06:00] prince thanks [06:00] grizlo42, does it show /var/www/apache-default contents? [06:00] PurpZeY, for windows, you could always try sysprep maybe [06:00] bazhang which bit do i want? [06:01] bazhang, 32 or 64? [06:01] PurpZeY: that is more the windows way; really this can be worked on but not all of them at one go [06:01] bazhang, or should i get the command line cd burner? [06:01] Meshezabeel1: I am currently running in safemode to recognize my new hardware... [06:01] bazhang: I mean this in a non-degrading way. But so far, none of them can be worked on. [06:01] no, it shows the directory above that [06:01] kavik what cpu do you have? core2 duo or amd 64bit? [06:01] hi, after a recent update, df -h shows 226G 225G 0 (Size Used Avail) so my / is acting as full. Deleting files reduces "Used" but Avail remains at zero. Any idea why? [06:02] bazhang, i'm not sure, how do i check? system info? [06:02] decay: try : ls >myfiles and then open the new file "myfiles" [06:02] how can you view the permissions on a folder [06:02] kavik: from vista? [06:02] TrustNoOne: ls -ld folder [06:02] bazhang, yeah [06:02] How can I upgrade some packages using the alternate ISO? I'm thinking I have to mount it and get synaptic to recognise it, but I can't work out how [06:02] grizlo42, weird, my apache reflects changes when refreshing, I don't have to clean cache [06:03] kavik: do you know what make and model of your computer? there should be some sticker on it like intel inside or amd or somesuch [06:03] bazhang, it says processor: intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU 440 @ 1.86GHz 1.87GHz [06:03] kavik 32 bit then [06:03] bazhang, k thanks. [06:03] draicone: you mean update packages on your system but first booting from an alternate CD? [06:03] prince_jammys: im following an exmaple in a shell scripting book that arrived today. (im 100% new to this). heres' the first example: http://slexy.org/view/s2049SEq6Q [06:04] tgcondor: no, like, instead of downloading the update packages, get them from the (mounted?) ISO [06:04] How to know the last time i lo-gon? [06:04] any help with the drive-full syndrom? [06:04] bazhang, lmao if i scroll down it says 32 bit operating system.. my bad... [06:04] draicone: just start up from the alternate cd and choose upgrade existing system or something along those lines [06:04] I see the file gets created, and all the text after 'nurses' gets written to the file. but when i execute it, it says file too budy [06:04] busy* [06:04] kavik haha [06:04] bazhang: Okay, great, thanks [06:04] draicone no worries ;] [06:05] how can i encrypt the data??? is there any preinstalled software???? [06:05] draicone: you can also use dpkg -i with the path to your CD/ISO === cva__ is now known as cva [06:05] tgcondor: Okay, I'll try that too, thanks [06:05] Does anyone remember an older linux version that had multiple logins available on multiple Fxx keys? Is there a way to have more than one session open in ubuntu? [06:06] I want to say it was redhat or mandrake. [06:06] decay: there's something wrong there [06:06] SkinnYPuppY: what are you trying to accomplish? [06:06] salut sauvin you are a stalker ;p [06:06] On another note, what is the best IRC application? or.. which do you prefer? i'm using Leafchat, but i don't like it, it's too limited. [06:06] how can i encrypt the data??? is there any preinstalled software???? [06:06] ok, easier question. What keyword can I use in google or ubuntu forums to find info about my problem? [06:06] hi, after a recent update, df -h shows 226G 225G 0 (Size Used Avail) so my / is acting as full. Deleting files reduces "Used" but Avail remains at zero. Any idea why? [06:06] prince_jammys: do you know what? [06:06] xchat is popluar kavik [06:06] By the way, are there any lightweight web browsers available that suit Ubuntu? [06:07] i tried several searches but nothing relevant came up [06:07] draicone firefox? [06:07] how can i encrypt the data??? is there any preinstalled software???? [06:07] kavik: Way too bloated. I'm thinking k-meleon-like footprint. [06:07] tgcondor: you might try an apt clean to get rid of the apt archives [06:07] The ability to have two or more user logins with active sessions and ability to quickly switch b/t sessions [06:07] draicone how lightweight? [06:07] draicone ahh... [06:07] neo_: you can try truecrpyt [06:07] mbrandt: Well, not exactly text based, but like a reasonably fast web browser [06:08] Hey room [06:08] I need a spare one for internet banking and stuff (XSS/CSRF) [06:08] bazhang ::: can i encrypt the whole folder [06:08] decay: did you paste that code or is that part of the book? [06:08] Is Epiphany reasonably lightweight? [06:08] draicone kazhezhase or something like that (forgot the spelling, sorry) [06:08] How can I participate into Skypecasts? [06:08] via my Ubuntu's skype [06:08] neo_, gpg [06:08] bazhang, I'll have a look for it, thanks [06:08] bazhang: done that. I can delete big files, but it only reduces the "used" part of 'df' output, doesn't increase "available", and I still can't create files [06:09] Is it easy to have dual OS? [06:09] kavik: yes [06:09] tgcondor: how big hard drive and how much remaining space [06:09] kavik: yes [06:09] kavik si [06:09] neo_, you could also create an encrypted file system, that might be what you want [06:09] I like running VMWare server so I have an XP machine running on my linux desktop [06:10] skinnypuppy, tgcondor, bazhang, ha ha, ok. thanks. [06:10] neo_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto [06:10] bazhang: good question. something is fishy [06:10] http://kazehakase.sourceforge.jp/ draicone [06:10] How can I participate into Skypecasts? [06:11] chuy_max::::: will gpg encrypt a whole folder/..????? [06:11] decay: by the way, you can also get: sudo apt-get install rutebook (rutebook has a tutorial for the shell also) and you can view it in a web browser by pasting this in the address bar:: /usr/share/doc/rutebook/html/index.html [06:11] neo_: you mean folder or partition [06:11] hmm [06:11] bazhang: Cool, thanks! [06:11] bazhang: size 226G, used 225G, even though I deleted many gigs before rebooting [06:11] bazhang ::: a folder [06:11] decay: another package you can get is abs-guide (bash shell scripting guide, also viewable in a web browser) === macd_ is now known as macd [06:12] neo_: then yes no problemo [06:12] bazhang ::: i need to transfer the data... [06:12] good morning === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:12] neo_: so transfer it ;] [06:12] decay: as far as the code in the site, it's messed up in several ways. would be nice if they had comments of what it's supposed to be doing [06:12] bazhang ::: how to use it??? [06:13] nix_chix0r, if you'll do a /whois on me, you'll see I join a bunch of channels. It's done by macro :D [06:13] prince_jammys: thanks for the links. im installing. and they do have comments. ill post the entire thing hold on [06:13] bazhang ::: is there any gui program for this/??? [06:13] whenever I boot, my computer loads my nic using the acx module...how do I tell it to instead use the ndiswrapper module? [06:13] sauvin, oui je sais [06:13] :P [06:13] quakky you still around? the #alsa folks just woke up ;] [06:13] it's still weird [06:13] decay: those two ebooks can be installed through apt (synaptic, apt-get, etc.) [06:13] dimitris82 kalimera mipws ksereis na mpw se skypecast mesw Ubuntu?

[06:17] SuperQ, it requires copying some files to some place but I don't remember lol [06:17] nix_chix0r: I just nod with you sorry guys.. this was been rude [06:17] neo_: did you even take a peek at those links? ;] if so you are a speed reader [06:17] He does this in front of an Apple laptop!? [06:17] l815: hrm, gksudo should inherit [06:17] How do i install 'INSTALL' files http://code.google.com/p/musictracker/ [06:17] l815: let me run a test [06:17] SuperQ, alright [06:18] I have ubuntu 5.10 server edition and i cannot update or install any program because is out of date... Can i upgrade to new version stable that i can install programs only and not change the kernel ? i have tried to upgrade to edgy but it changed my kernel and then i have on reboot kernel panic! Can anyone help me ? === sales is now known as sourcode[u] [06:18] can not update azureus even if chmod 777 because the new downloaded file does not take parent folder permissions, and so is unable to install. i am forced to run azureus as sudo when update is available :( [06:18] SuperQ, only themes that I install do this, default gnome themes work fine [06:18] dimitris82: do you care about programs or only data? [06:19] I'm trying to backup several gigs of data from an ext3 partition to a large FAT32 volume. I can't just copy the files because FAT32 won't preserve the permissions, and I can't just tar everything because FAT32 won't allow files larger than 2/4GB . Can someone help me with this? [06:19] bazhang: i just saved the pages for future refrence... [06:19] l815: Ohh, that makes sense [06:19] tgcondor: i have installed squid proxy, SambaShare (and i have many data there) [06:19] l815: did you install themes by hand (command line?) [06:19] TrustNoOne: why even bother with azureus? it is really a memory hog, and unstable as well--there are several other options such as deluge ktorrent, transmission; even utorrent under wine is better imo [06:19] dimitris82: so you care about config files, basically [06:19] tgcondor: also i have backup my server with N.ghost ( i know this seems stupid , but worked for me) [06:19] tgcondor: yes i can say so [06:20] dimitris82: I had a similar problem, it took a long time to make it stable, but it can be done [06:20] SuperQ, no i dragged and dropped in the appearance menu [06:20] tgcondor: is there any how to ? can you tell me i dont have a problem to do it [06:20] l815: ok, so give me a min to figure out where gnome keeps these things [06:20] dimitris82: what i did was put all the useful files in one place, e.g., /home [06:20] nix_chix0r, why did you show me a link to a video explaining to tiny children how to install Wubi? [06:20] SuperQ, alright thanks [06:20] dimitris82: but i forgot the databases, so don't forget that! [06:20] sauvin, cause it's funny [06:20] l815: I havn't played with non-default themse in a long time :) [06:20] Heh. [06:21] dimitris82: then i deleted all the program using rm /bin /sbin .. etc [06:21] dimitris82: then I used the alternate CD to install a new system [06:21] l815: where did you get the themes from? [06:21] SuperQ, :P.. i'll brb though need to restart [06:21] tgcondor: on the same root right ? [06:21] SuperQ, gnome-look.org [06:21] l815: restart why? [06:21] SuperQ, just installed some pre-released updates [06:21] bazhang, i do not have memory issues or unstable issues with azureus, i use it because its easy to configure port forwarding for it, and to disable DHT and decentralized tracking for my private sites, and it is one of the clients approved by my private tracker, i can not use anything not in the "approved list" and frankly transmission is not up-to-par with azureus, so i choose azureus over transmission which is one of their other [06:21] options for linux [06:22] dimitris82: yes. i had additional requirement: i wanted to keep my raid volumes as is, and eventually it worked without loss of data except for databases because i did rm -r /var [06:22] ahh [06:22] bazhang: so it seems that I have a process that keeps filling up my drive. any idea how to find it? [06:23] tgcondor: it sounds to me a good option , but could just upgrade with aptitude only , without kernel ? [06:23] bazhang: humm .. i should 'man find' [06:23] TrustNoOne: okay well one mans pleasure is another mans poison; transmission second to azureus--I just had some very bad experiences with that app and transmission has been superb--sorry not to help you out there [06:23] tgcondor: if i dont upgrade my kernel everything is fine [06:23] How do i compile package??? [06:23] dimitris82: you could, my problem was a broken kernel [06:24] tgcondor: open a terminal and type top [06:24] !compile | j_ [06:24] j_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [06:24] dimitris82: i think aptitude keeps current kernel and ads new ones, you can then select which to boot from [06:24] bazhang, well of course, if you have a bad experience with something you deem it "crap", i mean i did that with xbox 360... so its understandable... but if it works for some, i guess thats good for them right? :) [06:24] tgcondor: ahh i see.. [06:24] hey guys, I just posted my problem ..if u think got the solution please reply to this ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4506013#post4506013 [06:24] tgcondor: yes i tried to old kernels but the problem is still goes on [06:24] dimitris82: and even edit menu.lst to make the old kernel your default, after the upgrade [06:24] I HATE XBOX :@ *insert super angry flip off microsoft smiley face here* [06:24] k sorry... !offtopic... i know [06:24] dimitris82: what's the problem? [06:24] TrustNoOne: no doubt; and sorry to badmouth your favorite--no offense meant--I'm just sorry I cant help you out here [06:25] tgcondor: i know i tried that also .. i changed the key it uses on the menu list to my path of /dev/cciss/c0p0c1 [06:25] dimitris82: try to do update-initramfs -c -k oldkernelversion [06:25] tgcondor: right i think it was this [06:25] i dont remember [06:25] bazhang, yeah thats ok [06:26] TrustNoOne: okay cool [06:26] tgcondor: but how to do that that i cannot go to login [06:26] tgcondor: server is stacked with kernel panic [06:26] I got to head out for a bit; be back later ;] [06:26] tgcondor: my problem was something like the devices couldnt loaded.. [06:27] dimitris82: boot from alternate CD, select "rescue", select root partition, chroot to root, mount /proc and /boot (if needed), then do the update-initramfs [06:27] tgcondor: and the stupid was my cd-rom has burned out and i cannot boot from a CD [06:27] tgcondor: with ghost i boot from usb lol [06:28] dimitris82: can you boot altenrate CD from usb?

[06:30] upgrade* [06:32] SuperQ, all the ones i downloaded do the same, but here is one of them http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta2?content=43054 [06:32] tgcondor: you say just cp from CD to usb ? thats all ? or i need to do something else? [06:33] dimitris82: should be all [06:33] l815: ok, gimme a sec to look [06:33] SuperQ, alright [06:33] dimitris82: but i'm not 100% [06:33] tgcondor: ok i give a third try then [06:34] dimitris82: gl :O) [06:34] i compiled a kernel , the aufs compiled for this not loaded perfectly with kernel why?

[06:38] hi all [06:39] l815: yes, you need to follow the install instructions that came with the file [06:39] l815: see http://ben.nerp.net/theme-test.png [06:39] any tablet pc user out there [06:39] SuperQ, oh didn't know there was more to it [06:40] l815: yea, there are a couple of things that need to get installed for full theme modifications [06:40] SuperQ, do you know where the gnome themes are installed then? so i can copy them over [06:40] l815: not sure, you should have the original downloaded files [06:41] l815: open those up and the files should have instructions [06:41] SuperQ, okay thanks [06:41] l815: If you stick to Metacity themes that don't contain "gtk 2.x" code, you won't have to worry about them as much [06:41] hi everyone [06:42] SuperQ, aren't metacity themes just window borders? === santri is now known as co^^ckp [06:42] l815: Hrm.. maybe you're right [06:42] l815: I thought they could do a bit more [06:42] hi Joseph [06:42] l815: the gnome theme thing allows a lot of customizations [06:43] ./configure [06:43] make [06:43] sudo make install [06:43] how do i use 4 desktops instead of just 2 in ubuntu? [06:43] like a cube [06:43] im stuck on make files [06:43] SuperQ, yeah it's crazy [06:43] :-D [06:44] what's the command to copy a folder to another? [06:44] Why opens the MCVIEW(1) manpage if I instruct 'man view' in a Gnome terminal? [06:45] hi [06:45] help meeee [06:46] l815: Do you mean cp? [06:46] what do you need help with [06:46] bullgard4, i guess that's it thanks :) [06:46] hi joseph [06:46] l815: I guess cp -r /directory1 /directory2 [06:46] i've various problems [06:46] first [06:46] redarrow yeah that's it [06:47] no problem l815 [06:47] mi natural langage is spanish, but to this hour, don't have nobody in the spanish room, then, please, i need a little of patience [06:48] SuperQ, putting the themes in /usr/share/themes worked :D [06:48] can some one help me walk through build process after downloadig a tar [06:48] vikku_: what program? [06:49] willfrand: Que quieres? [06:49] <[dcr]> How can I add AWN to the startup? [06:49] vikku_: tar -zxvf tarfile.tar , then ./configure then make , then mak install [06:49] second, i need install some programs, but the ubuntu, tell me (?) that i need configurate the roxen4, and no have help [06:49] *make [06:50] suppose binutils-older-versio and after doing ar xvzf do i need to get in some dir ? [06:50] [dcr]: http://wiki.awn-project.org/FAQ#How_can_I_make_AWN_run_when_my_desktop_starts_up.3F [06:50] by example, now i am installing the googleearth, and the synaptic tell me configurate the roxen4, how is this? [06:50] <[dcr]> ty Killeroid=] [06:50] Killeroid, vikku_ : -z to tar only for .tar.gz, otherwise just -xvf if it's just .tar [06:51] tgcondor: noted and thnx [06:51] vikku_: yes, you need to change to the directory that was just created by the tar process. So you mean you are trying to build binutils from source because you want an older version, do I understand correctly? [06:52] willfrand: Please use the program 'Synaptic' to install the two packages 'roxen4' and 'roxen4doc'. [06:52] aja, and next? [06:52] vikku_: like pajamian said, 'cd binutils-older-versio' [06:52] yes u r right pajamian [06:53] then, cancel this installation, and after install roxen4, and then, install at new? [06:53] ok lemme try tha [06:53] vikku_: ok, just out of curiosity, why do you want an older version? [06:53] tryiing to do a LFS [06:53] willfrand: You said that you want to install the program 'roxen4'. Then you will have it installed. That is all. [06:53] thanks bullgard, i go to probe [06:53] to test [06:54] vikku_: Linux From Scratch? [06:54] thats y i need some older versions [06:54] yes [06:54] willfrand: Much fuerte! [06:54] willfrand: Mucha fuerte! [06:54] vikku_: that's a bit much to take on when you don't know how to build a program from source yet. [06:54] what bullgard$, can do you spanish? [06:54] yes thats y my questn was to help me on buildg software [06:54] Hey start up with xvnc , just have a grey screen ? Which comman should i put in startup ? [06:54] willfrand: Un poco. [06:55] :) [06:55] Dream big you c [06:55] vikku_: ok, well before you attempt to build binutils you need to have all the libraries and development packages installed that are needed to build it. building stuff from source requires extra dependancies that you don't need when you just install it from a package.

[07:01] Hi, I'm looking for a little help identifying a bug (i believe) with my intel 3945abg card... occasionally, after running the laptop for some time, then cold booting at any later time, the wireless doesn't get assigned an interface (i believe). I'm able to see that the ipw3945 driver detects the card, but network manager doesn't load it, any suggestions to identify the problem? [07:01] willfrand: ok, it was mainly a suggestion on where you can get help in your native language. If you'd rather have help here and can communicate in english, that's fine by me. [07:01] hey bullgard4, it's cool... and do you know the latinamerica? === santri is now known as co^^ckp_kehabisa [07:02] I need to fix my monitor resolution - If i 'detect' my monitor in (system -> screens & graphics) it finds it as a Generic Plug n Play 640x480. I am normally running at 1280x1024 but the native resolution for the monitor is 1400x1050. How can i properly 'identify' my monitor? Should i set the resolution via xorg.conf?

[07:04] musikgoat: any problem that sounds like, "after running for a long time then cold booting something doesn't work" is almost certainly a problem with your hardware. [07:04] and, where do you learn spanish? [07:04] I think I just activated some weird accessibility mode, all of my windows are reverse colors, help [07:04] pajamian: I could agree if the card wasn't being detected, and/or windows on another partition didn't work with it [07:05] pajamian: but thanks for the suggestion [07:05] vikku_: you can install them all in one shot with this command: sudo apt-get build-dep binutils [07:05] willfrand: Estoy un radioafficionado. Era necessario hablar con operadores del America Central in Espanol. [07:05] ummmmmmmmmmm in order to upgrade the package xserver-xorg-video-intel (from hardy, cause it includes overlay support finally), synaptic wants me to remove, amongst other things, ubuntu-desktop, xorg, and xserver-xorg ... is that as stupid an idea as it sounds?

[07:08] pengo: ubuntu-desktop isn't a problem, the others may be depending on if thier functionality is replaced by other packages that are installed.

Or do you mean some other messenger program? Or do you mean the messaging service of the Freenode network? [07:11] can anyone help me installing ubuntu on my external hard drive?

[07:13] Uh, guys, you know its possible to put Grub onto a CD or floppy then boot off of that... [07:13] willfrand: I do not know what hotmail is. Is it a mail service? [07:13] bullgard4, yes, a free email service provided by microsoft [07:13] phuzion, yes there is a very convinient thing called the "super grub disk", just google it, it's very easy [07:13] phuzion: Thank you for informing. I did not know. [07:14] bullgard4, no problem [07:14] oh :O [07:14] stefano_, I was replying to what you and Alan_M said about Mat-Toufoutu being out of luck [07:14] yes bullgard is a mail service, what is your client service? and your nick in this client service? [07:14] phuzion, I said that, then looked further... [07:14] oops :/ [07:15] phuzion, i don't think grub has a clue about filesystems and block devices, so i don't think it's able to boot off of usb, but i may be wrong. [07:15] Ahh, ok [07:15] pajamian : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59449/ pls see for the error iam getting [07:15] is anyone of you running Epiphany with webkit? [07:15] !anyone [07:15] 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? === guest_ is now known as kavik [07:16] I was running ubuntu, and i couldn't get wireless... any help? [07:16] stefano_: I am running Epiphany. May be with webkit. How can I check that? [07:17] bullgard4, there should be a note about that in the "about" dialog, it should either say "using webkit" or gecko [07:17] phuzion: why put grub on CD? [07:17] because hard drives crash tgcondor [07:18] stefano_: It says: "Using Gecko 1.8." [07:18] tgcondor, because the person who wanted an alternative cannot resize his windows partition, and wants to run ubuntu from an external drive, but can't boot directly from USB [07:18] by the way, I figured out the problem with my system going into negative mode [07:18] bullgard4, thought so, i was looking for a way to get it up and running, but i guess i have to wait a month. thanks [07:18] so, is anyone here using rsync to any extend? [07:18] phuzion: ic, the alternative CD allows you too boot from HDD [07:19] Why? [07:19] phuzion: I think with a mod you can make it boot from external [07:19] tgcondor, the person's BIOS does not support direct boot from USB. [07:19] I was suggesting a different way to do so [07:19] the error i get installing binutils are : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59450/ [07:20] phuzion: right, so the person would be booting from CD which then passes control to USB [07:20] Right [07:20] the concept of bios is outdated and i hope that we linux'ers can get our hands on efi soon :\ [07:21] without buying a mac that is :-) [07:21] You want to get our hands onto the Equestrian Federation of Ireland [07:21] ? [07:21] xvnc , just have a grey screen ? Which command should i put in startup to start a gnome desktop ? [07:21] its an old OLD concept...but...it still works..so..i don't see it changing unless someone seriously seriously finds a better idea. [07:22] !efi [07:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about efi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:22] phuzion: i'm guessing the process would be as follows (automated through a script): boot into a minimal live CD that can access USB, then use linux loader to load the kernel from the USB etc [07:22] heh, figures [07:22] Alan_M, I know what EFI is, I was making a joke [07:22] Alan_M, there is a better way to do it, and from my understanding it is pretty well documented. (efi) the big difference is that efi knows about devices and partitions whereas bios doesnt have a clue, all it's doing is running whatever is in the MBR [07:22] phuzion......maybe I didn't ;) [07:23] tgcondor, yeah [07:23] Alan_M, righto [07:23] thanks stefano :) [07:24] im only A+ certified..i really don't keep up with the futuristic technolgies out there :( [07:24] Alan_M, i didnt mean to insult your knowledge [07:24] you didn't, I promise :) === aurehman_ is now known as aurehman [07:24] :> [07:25] I was just like "uh...what the heck are they talking about" [07:25] 'till someone explained that is. [07:25] Alan_M: feel good. i'm still lost [07:25] Alan_M: but then, i don't have A+ [07:26] * Alan_M can't set up a Class in here or ill get fussed at by the op's [07:26] :) [07:26] im A+ certified...and..im using linux as my main dist. [07:26] heh [07:26] go figure! [07:26] it just seems that linux is approaching the mainstream so much, meaning that the 1 year lag that we were used to gets smaller and smaller, i think EFI should be one of the next steps. but i know it runs on macs, which use efi, but you need some proprietary blobs to get it up and running. [07:26] !enter | Alan_M [07:26] Alan_M: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:27] * Alan_M sees punctuation besides enter all over the place on my comments. [07:27] on the other hand, we can't just get rid of all legacy (best example is 95% of desktop users still running 32bit even though it's fair to call that legacy, from a hardware pespective) [07:28] !enter | tgcondor [07:28] tgcondor: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:28] i was wondering...is there something similar to the "make available offline" feature of windows? i want to acess certain websites of information offline when my other computer is hogging my bandwidth [07:29] bluefoxx, depends on your browser [07:29] stefano_: is there a command i can use? [07:30] bluefoxx, i think firefox should do it, but i can't say for sure as i'm using the beta versions of ff3 [07:30] bluefoxx, just safe the page [07:30] stefano_: how is it? the beta? [07:30] I have a bunch of .BUP, .IFO, and .VOB files and I was wondering how I properly burn this to a DVD [07:31] !askthebot | Alan_M [07:31] Alan_M: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotwo Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [07:31] bluefoxx, it uber dramatically ROCKS! but i wouldnt recommend it yet since it crashes every once in a while which can be annoying. but omg it's so much better than 2 (which i gave up using) [07:31] Alan_M: :OP [07:32] I know how to use the bot and I know all the rules of this room..thanks though ;) [07:32] anybody have experience formatting an SD card for a Motorola I880? [07:32] stefano_: lol, i think ill give it a go, whats the command?[i can handle a crash now and then, so long as im not downloading] [07:32] Does anyone know how to go frame by frame in totem? [07:33] bluefoxx, i don't know if it is available in gutsy, i use hard (which i wouldnt recommend to you at all, but i submit bug reports and all that) [07:33] nap time. l8rz all. [07:33] bluefoxx, just wait until 8.04 comes, it will be brilliant [07:33] Bye! :) [07:33] stefano_ may i ask what you're talking about? [07:34] souper, i was talking about firefox 3 [07:34] oh [07:34] yea its great [07:34] i've been using rc3 for a couple weeks and haven't had a crash yet [07:35] stefano_: will do that, until then, ill settel for printing to pdf lols [07:35] souper, i have a lot of crashes espeially on youtube, but it's not tooo bad [07:36] hehe [07:36] #ubuntu+1 for hardy discussions, please [07:36] it's in the gutsy repos: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 [07:37] i have a usb "control module" i'm trying to use... this is what my /var/log/message looks like when i plug it in [07:37] http://pastebin.com/m67441b89 [07:37] anyone know what i have to do to make a new file in /dev/input/? [07:37] the biggest change in FF3 is that pages are now rendered with usage of Cairo, which is absolutely awsome because it gives you nice looks (just like any app), good - hardware accellerated - anti aliasing and so on. i just love it, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to go back to epiphany when it has webkit [07:37] jaek_eee, i don't think you would want to do that [07:38] jaek_eee, doesn't seem to be a good idea. can you explain your problem further? [07:38] * Alan_M erases the ot I had planned. [07:38] stefano_, the program i'm using requires a device file something like /dev/input/event0 [07:39] stefano_, but this "control module" doesnt seem to be a known device [07:39] jaek_eee, what program is it? [07:39] http://unfix.org/projects/empcd/ [07:39] * stefano_ opens channel #private142 for arguing about technology [07:39] Good idea :) [07:40] jaek_eee, what kind of device do you want to use to control empcd? [07:40] it is a usb control module from the early 2000s, it has a play/pause/stop/volume/next/prev buttons [07:41] brb, gonna go check out the ubuntu beginner team forum and see what I can help with..bodhi_zazen keeps griping because im on the team and im not really helping cut down the unanswered posts. [07:41] stefano_, but google doesnt yield much help... the model number is pmd-c001 [07:42] jaek_eee, i think the program expects the device to be found and ready to use, if you just make a file this file won't point to any device. try and see if you can find out if your control thingy was recognised and what the device file for it is, if you know that, either tinker with the program configuration or create a simlink to the device, but if your device hasnt been recognised, it is much more complicated [07:44] stefano_, yes.... i need to get the right udev "rule" it seems so it knows about this uhci device [07:44] <^A^kira> how do i turn on wireless on laptop troguh console? [07:44] is there an easy way to change the ubuntu apt repositories [07:45] system->administration->software sources might be helpful bmz [07:46] the one it set when I installed is slow, when it works at all [07:46] jaek_eee, oh wow, i'm not into udev but i do know that it's incredibly complex. and ubuntu goes a very special route with udev rules, i dont think i can help you ad hoc, you might want to post your problem at the ubuntu forums. be sure to include lots of information. i hope that helps you [07:46] <^A^kira> how do i turn on wireless on laptop troguh console? [07:47] ^A^kira, why would you want to do that? [07:48] <^A^kira> becouse i need internet on my laptop and i don't have any network managers installed... had fluxbuntu now installed kde without NM [07:48] sup [07:49] 'sup CVD-PR [07:49] is it just me or is http://au.archive.ubuntu.com really slow? [07:50] ^A^kira: http://www.stoltenow.com/archives/2006/12/ubuntu_configur.html ? [07:50] bmz, could very well be, try to find a mirror nerby, i have one just down the street (not literally...) and it's much faster [07:51] ok, i've been having this issue lately... [07:51] stefano, same here :) [07:52] im getting lightning speed [07:52] stefano_, any way to know the last time i logon? [07:52] i installed ubuntu into a single root partition and a swap partition and the swap was working fine and hibernating was working as well [07:52] stefano_: I am now using the main site. I just thought that if ubuntu selected that mirror for me and I am in Australia and it is not working reliably it might give people the wrong impression about ubuntu. [07:53] Ubuntu is based in South africa I believe? [07:53] I know mark is from there..just not sure about where canonical actually is. [07:53] bmz that may be true, but for the most part the official mirrors are fairly fast, if you want to have uber speed - if you care, which most of those who would be frightened as you point out wouldt not - select a mirror nearby [07:53] oh my god [07:53] last week i resized and moved my root partition so i could have a separate home partition, this changed all the dev references for my partitions which caused some problems with grub but i managed to fix that [07:54] <^A^kira> Jaapjan-Work> TNX!!! :) [07:54] well the other day i noticed the computer wasn't hibernating [07:54] i suddenly have a very loud noise in my right ear i need to do something about it [07:54] how can i fake install a program so apt-get dosent try and install a conflicting dependancy? - i installed qmail by hand, now courier-imap wants to drag in postfix :| [07:54] Please try not to use enter as punctuation. [07:54] CVD-PR, hang on [07:54] k [07:55] CVD-PR, open up a command and type "uptime" [07:55] au.archive.ubuntu.com is an official mirror and with me being in Australia it is the closest. [07:55] CVD-PR, thats not exactly what you want i realise [07:55] ok it's kinda a long winded story but i'll smash it together [07:55] stefano_, nop [07:56] souper: there is a file that mentions which partition to use for suspend, whose name escape me === ^A^kira is now known as Ne0 === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:57] would it be in /etc === Ne0 is now known as ^A^kira [07:57] ? [07:57] I have gutsy on my thinkpad t61, i just installed the latest kernel. Used same .config as in /boot (that came with the system). Now that i'm running the latest kernel, I no longer have sound support (only PC speaker). Any tips? [07:57] up_the_irons, just boot the old kernel until it gets fixed, you don't need the new kernel of anything particular do you? [07:58] stefano_: i recompiled so i can get keyspan usb-to-serial support (which is not included w/ ubuntu). I guess I could try a recompile with the older kernel [07:59] stefano_: better qemu/kvm support would be nice though, thought it might work better with newer kernel [07:59] up_the_irons, oh i see, than it seems that you didnt include all the required modules for your sound chip. [07:59] well boys n girls..fellow ubuntu enthusiasts and new users..im out! Remember, the forums are your friend if you don't get an answer here, check the forums ;) [08:00] bye Alan_M [08:00] stefano_: doesn't the config file included in /boot have the same config as the kernel that was running? (my older one) [08:00] stefano_: this new kernel has LOTS of modules compiled it, almost everything enabled (took forever to compile) [08:00] up_the_irons, you have to include those modules when you're compiling the kernel, /boot doesnt have anything to do with that. [08:00] stefano_: i mean, not compiled into the kernel, but the modules are compiled [08:01] up_the_irons, did you do all the configuration before compiling the kernel by hand? [08:01] stefano_: well, the /boot/config-`uname -r` does include a file that i can use as .config in my kernel source tree [08:01] how can i stop apt-get from install unwanted dependencies? [08:02] stefano_: the only thing i did by hand was enable Keyspan support, every else was left as it was in .config [08:02] ? [08:03] stefano_: all the other kernel modules seem to work [08:03] Does anyone know of a program that can dump frames from video? I can't find any that work. I've already tried "dumpmpeg". [08:03] up_the_irons, did you check your blacklists? [08:03] bluej774, do you mean dump as in extract or as in remove? [08:04] stefano_: I mean extract. [08:04] Extract to a png or jpeg or bitmap format. === co_cr_teman is now known as uswa [08:04] stefano_: blacklists? [08:04] bluej774, i think there is a program very similar to virtualdub for linux. but obviosly this wouldnt be so great if you want to exctract a lot and maybe script it [08:05] stefano_: I just want to extract maybe 10 to 20 contiguous frames. [08:05] up_the_irons, there is a blacklist for kernel modules that won't be loaded, i think it's /etc/blacklist or something like that, maybe your sound modules are listed there [08:06] bluej774, allthough very gui-focused, maybe pitivi will do the job [08:06] stefano_: but if that was the case, wouldn't sound not work on the old kernel also? [08:07] stefano_: I'll give it a try. [08:07] bluej774, transcode will do it, see http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor_howto_animenu.html for syntax to get yourself started :) [08:07] up_the_irons, i don't know if it's integrated in any way with what kernel you boot. [08:07] stefano_: ok [08:08] up_the_irons, can't you get just a driver (like a kernel module) for this usb to serial converter that you would just enable with modprobe? would be way easier than building a custom kernel [08:08] pppZero: Thanks. [08:09] why is it that when i set my swap in the fstab by the UUID blkid gives me swapon -a gives me an error about no such file or directory [08:10] stefano_: probably, but it's not available on keyspan's site, they say 'recompile the kernel' [08:10] souper, you could have a problem with the swap partiton [08:10] well when i set it by /dev/sda6 it works fine [08:10] stefano_: they have kernel modules pre-built for other distros, but complain on their site that the debian/ubuntu distros didn't want to include their modules [08:10] up_the_irons, thats too bad :( but you are not sure if you included all the right kernel bits and pieces for your sound are you? [08:11] the problem is the hibernate script suspends to the disk by uuid [08:11] stefano_: if you're interested: http://www.keyspan.com/downloads-files/developer/linux/ [08:11] hibernate is a pain :( [08:11] stefano_: i think i figured it out [08:11] stefano_: ubuntu includes it's own driver: [08:11] /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel [08:11] /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko [08:12] and i'm not nearly experienced enough to understand shell scripts as complex as that [08:12] stefano_: and it disables it in the regular kernel. I guess I just need to go ahead and enable it. But i'm worried if there's anything special ubuntu did, i'll lose that [08:12] up_the_irons, oh is this a binary only driver? [08:13] up_the_irons, try to type "sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" into a console and see if your sound suddenly works [08:13] could be [08:13] stefano_: i don't think so, i see the option to enable it in 'make menuconfig' [08:13] stefano_: but ubuntu doesn't enable it, i guess in favor of it's own version [08:13] up_the_irons, that's good, enable it and hope for the best [08:14] up_the_irons, this kernel building business can really be a pain [08:14] stefano_: yeah i'm going to try [08:14] stefano_: for sure ;) [08:14] up_the_irons: here's a shot in the dark but do you have a sound server like oss installed? [08:15] up_the_irons, when i did it the first time, nothing would work. but it turned out that just waiting solved my issue (i needed some high-res tick stuff) [08:15] up_the_irons: you can use oldconfig when you recompile the kernel so you dont risk losing anything that was selected by ubuntu if thats what you are worried about [08:15] thats a good tip [08:15] snd 54660 11 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device [08:16] i use the same sound driver [08:16] <[dcr]> Is there anyway to increase graphics hardware accelleration in Ubuntu? [08:16] that's what lsmod gives me [08:16] [dcr], what graphics card do you have? [08:16] and xconfig is pretty friendly for people new to kernel compiling [08:16] and my sound has worked from the beginning === cpk1__ is now known as cpk1 [08:16] pppZero: How can I use those commands, but specify a start and end point on what to dump? [08:16] <[dcr]> stefano_: its just a intel gms 970 chipset =[ [08:17] guys [08:17] <[dcr]> but if theres a way to increase hardware acceleration i want to. [08:17] how can i install drivers for nvidia 5500 video card [08:17] [dcr], does the 3d stuff work in general? (eg can you enable desktop effects) [08:17] how to edit the classpath? [08:17] cpk1: but this kernel was downloaded straight from kernel.org, it doesn't have a ubuntu specific 'oldconfig' [08:17] <[dcr]> yes stefano_ i can [08:17] bluej774, i honestly cant remember, its been a while since i played with videos :| [08:18] techt0nix, open up the restricted drivers manager (or whatever it's called in the english i18n) [08:18] techt0nix: Or use/install Envy. [08:18] pppZero: I just don't want to wait for it to dump the whole movie and use all of my hard drive to do it. [08:18] stefano, i have did both and the video card still will not boot with ubuntu [08:18] bluej774, haha i dont blame you :) [08:19] souper: i'm pretty sure the problem is my new kernel doesn't have Intel HD Audio module built [08:19] [dcr], then there is not much you can do about it. i have the same graphics chip in my notebook and 3d accelleration is a little sluggish, thats just the way it is, i turned off desktop effects. (since then games are much faster) [08:19] How do I mount an ISO in Ubuntu so that my computer will read it as if it were a disk? [08:19] d4rkmonkey: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [08:19] d4rkmonkey: gmountiso [08:19] d4rkmonkey, theres a program called something like gmount-iso (i'm not sure what the name is exactly) - but it will do the job without any command line hacking [08:20] Thanks everyone [08:20] youre welcome [08:20] mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/point [08:20] <[dcr]> stefano_: ah because i have it on normal and i always have AWN turned off when i play urban terror but i only get about 15~45fps unstable in game =( [08:20] np [08:20] up_the_irons: yeah i think its "make oldconfig" and it will tell the new kernel to use your old config and then you can go through and make more changes after importing your old config, its important to note though that the ubuntu kernel usually has support for most everything [08:21] [dcr], thats normal. but here's a tip, set the resolution down as much as you can (without going nuts), that should increase framerate dramatically. but Urban Terror is a pretty demanding game [08:21] oh yea that reminds me: how do i make my bash alias' permanent? [08:21] hi guys [08:21] <[dcr]> stefano_: you got any other recommendations on games for linux? [08:21] hi YazzY [08:21] i've some issues with hardy update from today [08:22] knetwalk... [08:22] i get lots of issues witrh free() [08:22] *** glibc detected *** sudo: free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7d84b70 *** [08:22] [dcr] Get/check Cedega? [08:22] any ideas what that is ? [08:22] cpk1: where does the new kernel get the 'oldconfig' from though? [08:22] <[dcr]> Jaapjan-Work: games that require windows i just use virtualbox lol.. [08:22] [dcr], sure. i like warsow, openarena and brutalchess, oh and also foobillard. [08:22] cpk1: isn't it just /boot/config-`uname -r` [08:23] fsck, i cant even sudo [08:23] or su - [08:23] YazzY: you tried booting recovery mode? [08:24] [dcr], i just spent two weeks playing Peggle by popcap games, it costs about 20€ and runs well under linux (emulated with wine) - it's a lot of fun if you enjoy puzzle games, check it out at the popcap website [08:24] Frogzoo: no, how would that help ? [08:24] can someone please help me? [08:24] [dcr], i tried to run Enemy Terretory, but it just doesnt run on intel graphics [08:24] YazzY: it's your first step - to see if you can boot single user [08:24] nuknght, sure, just tell us your problem [08:25] Frogzoo: why would i see if i can boot single user mode? [08:25] it doesnt make any sense [08:25] i've been trying my damndest to get civilization 4 running in cedega but it always freezes after clicking the play now button on the main menu [08:25] any of you try to stream movie or other media to the xbox 360 ? [08:25] dell inspiron 7500, stuck at saving vesa state when trying to install any linux on new hdd [08:25] cpk1: stefano_ : ok, sound now works, I loaded the newly built snd-hda-intel.ko [08:25] tarelerulz, i thin some guys have got it running with VLC [08:25] up_the_irons, thats great! [08:26] stefano_: however, my thinkpad volume up/down buttons don't work. i'm thinking maybe i should stick with the old kernel... [08:26] stefano_: cuz this could turn into one little thing after another... [08:26] up_the_irons, you can have both, if you have to use your converter, boot the custom kernel, otherwise boot the old one === max is now known as max` [08:26] try building a gentoo install [08:26] don't ;) [08:27] to install gentoo, you need a soldering iron and a very steady hand [08:27] :> [08:27] hah [08:27] stefano_: I've tried ubuntu, ubuntu studio, xubuntu and freespire and they all get stuck at the same spot... [08:27] left it on for 8 hours today just to be sure [08:27] Alright, I can mount the ISOs fine, is there any way to make my computer think they're DVDs, because its looking at them like data CDs [08:27] stefano_: yeah, but that's kinda a pain [08:27] freepire comes up with multiple errors as well [08:27] what spot is that nuknght [08:28] i spent a week trying to install gentoo and finally gave up because i couldn't get the kernel modules just right [08:28] Hi, How can I open/play an online "flash player" streaming video , in my own video player like mplayer or vlc player , so that I can watch it full screen etc. ?? I know that on some streaming content I can copy link and then paste that into my media player , but there is no "copy link" option in a flash streaming video content (for example this video: http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/videopod/default.aspx ). Thanks [08:28] stefano_: i might just have to go that route for now.. [08:28] Saving vesa state [08:28] up_the_irons, how often do you have to use the serial converter? [08:28] pppZero: I figured it out, but the program still has to start at the beginning of the file, so that sucks. [08:28] bluej774, worked out how i did it last time, install avidemux, set A and B points, set it to COPY, and hit save, it'll just save the litle bit of video you want. then use transcode to convert the video into jpeg files. [08:28] stefano_: not very often [08:28] lol [08:28] It just skips frames until it hits the ones you want. [08:29] d4rkmonkey dvd's essentially are data cds [08:29] up_the_irons, good, then booting your custom kernel every once in a while shouldnt be too bad [08:29] stefano_: yeah [08:29] try pointing your player to where its mounted [08:29] nuknght, i don't think i fully understand it. what exactly do you mean by saving vesa state? is it somewhat like the standby mode? [08:29] stefano_: regarding the keyspan drivers though, i do 'sudo modprobe keyspan', all i well, but i don't know which /dev/* to use. Is there a way i can find that out programatically? [08:30] no, its during the install after it mounts ?? (something) .... [08:30] hd' [08:30] up_the_irons, run dmesg after you plugged it in, it will show you the information i think [08:31] stefano_: oh ok [08:31] nuknght, i see, do you have any special hardware? (like a raid controller or something like that) [08:31] stefano_: let me try [08:31] when i put freespire on my drive with xp and ran the live cd it loaded after the whole vesa state thing. i popped my new hdd in and darn thing freezes up === santri is now known as ary__ [08:31] bluej774: avidemux also allows you to save the frame as jpg or bmp under File>Save [08:31] souper, tried that, doesn't work. [08:31] d4rkmonkey: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32203 [08:32] Its ati, came with the comp. tried to run in safe graphics mode and same thing happened [08:32] I'm having a bit of a weird issue with flash player [08:32] will your player play dvd movies that you physically put in a drive? [08:32] stefano_: ah, great, that worked: /dev/ttyUSB0 [08:32] stefano_: thanks for your help [08:32] whenever I try to view a live webcam link on Stickam, I can get audio, but no video [08:32] souper, yup. I'll try what Jaapjan-Work sent [08:32] has this happened to anyone else? [08:32] up_the_irons, youre welcome [08:33] nuknght, that problem seems a bit heavy for an irc discussion, have you tried posting on the ubuntu forums? try to provide lots of information oh your hardware and what you did exactly [08:34] i'll take that as a no [08:34] I just signed up but don't have enough permissions to post a bulletin in the forum yet......makes me want to go buy windows all over again [08:34] ATG, what is Stickam? [08:36] hi, how do I enable middle click paste? [08:36] it's like myspace but with webcams [08:36] ATG, maybe installing a codec package can help, but this package is illegal in a lot of countries, try to find out more about it on google, we here are not exactly supposed to talk about this kind of thing [08:37] i've been researching this for 4 days now and still nothing [08:37] EruditeHermit, it should already be enabled [08:37] any other channels you could lead me to would be helpful [08:37] nuknght: Have you tried booting with acpi=off noapic yet? [08:38] nuknght, you should be allowed to post a new thread in the ubuntu forums, just select the right sub-forum and click "new thread" (or whatever it's called) [08:38] I will try that [08:38] <[dcr]> stefano_: well i dont know if i would run the enemy territory game cause it does look pretty graphics intense, but urban territory is kinda demanding but isnt bad either, runs pretty good other from that unstableness in the fps, but i am pretty okay with it :) I love free mmo's, especially fps =3 [08:39] jaapjan_work: no, i tried live vga=771 noapic nolapic [08:39] Hello! I'm trying to run Ubuntu 7.10 on a computer with Pentium D. It shows a black screen with a "loading mouse" for long time.. What to do? [08:39] nuknght: Do the live cd's work? [08:40] yeah, I ran the test on em. they are good [08:40] OsamaK, do you know what graphics card you have? [08:40] Hum... [08:40] nuknght: I mean, can you boot with them? Or are you stuck even trying to run a live cd? [08:40] stefano_, At the moment I'm using Windows, Do you know how to know? [08:41] stuck trying to run live cd. as my post said earlier, freespire worked on my hdd with xp on it but i need it on my new hdd. to avoid buying windows [08:41] OsamaK, no, i don't sorry, but when you boot up the cd it should offer you to boot in "safe graphics" mode, try that [08:42] stefano_, I have tried "noapic" [08:42] stefano_, Is this what are you meaning? [08:42] OsamaK, no [08:42] OsamaK, wait a second i will look it up [08:43] stefano_, Is "Intel(R) 946GZ Express Chipset Family" a screen card name? [08:43] Windows shows that [08:43] OsamaK, oh good, your card is well supported in ubuntu [08:43] yea that shouldn't be the problem [08:43] jaapjan-Work: stuck trying to run live cd. as my post said earlier, freespire worked on my hdd with xp on it but i need it on my new hdd. to avoid buying windows [08:44] OsamaK, it is called "start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode" try that [08:45] I'm going to make some coffee chaps, I'll be right back [08:45] stefano_, Look at me. When I insert the CD it shows a list of works, then I seletct F6 then type "noapic irqpoll" [08:45] stefano_, Before going [08:45] k [08:46] nuknght: I see a number of solutions but all of them already have linux installed. You have not yet, right? [08:46] OsamaK, that's good, but instead of selecting the first item on the menu ("start or install ubuntu"), select the second one === paradon_ is now known as paradon [08:46] stefano_, Then it's booting.. And before shows the disktop it shows a black screen with loing moise [08:46] OsamaK, try the safe graphics mode, if it doesent work, you can always come back here, hope that helps [08:47] stefano_, Thanks a lot, have a nice day [08:47] see you all [08:47] nice leave message [08:47] :> [08:48] yea i'm not entirely sure where the emphasis is supposed to be in that sentence [08:49] no, no liux installed [08:49] linux* [08:50] Are you using Windows, the closed OS!? [08:50] windows :( linux :D [08:51] my coffee machine seems to be overclocked [08:51] by the way, my TV runs linux on it, just found out [08:51] make sure you have enough cooling [08:51] hehe [08:53] i'm starting to think that ATIs promise to open source their drivers was BS :( [08:53] nuknght: You never tried acpi=off ? Only noapic and nolapic? I found a page describing your problem. [08:53] could you link me to that page? [08:54] nuknght: Sure. Some people report success with 'noacpi acpi=off apm=on' as kernel options because that/those dells do not have good acpi support. Anyway, link coming up... [08:54] nuknght: Read through this: http://www.linuxreality.com/forums/index.php?topic=2189.msg16652 [08:54] edit the classpath?, where is it? [08:54] testing noapic do i type that in after the prelisted cli ? [08:55] nuknght: When you're in the live cd menu you press F6 to add boot options and add those three. [08:55] k be right back [08:55] i'm sick of ads :( [08:56] <[dcr]> lol stefano_ i thought you said "aids" [08:56] i'm watching a video on software piracy and youtube displays "meet sexy arabs online" i am SICK of it :( [08:56] [dcr], oh my word! :O [08:57] hello [08:57] hi tunsell [08:58] odo, rieccomi sul fisso [08:58] ho nuovamente schermata arancione sul portatile [08:58] is anyone here using "pixel" (the image manipulation program) [08:58] no [08:59] how do i config postfix to send all of my mail to one address?

[09:03] i love swizerland [09:03] lago maggiore, the finest spot on earth [09:03] what shall i write in my terminal to know which ubuntu version i'm running? [09:04] Extend, nothing: just click "system" -> "about ubuntu" [09:04] from terminal [09:04] i'm sshing a server [09:04] i got the progress bar but i don't know exactly what its doing...i will wait and see [09:05] nuknght: Then you indeed got further? Good. [09:05] lol [09:05] Extend, this is a bit dirty, but you could type "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" if it says gutsy, you've got 7.10 [09:05] hi guys..... im having sound probs i dont have /dev/dsp where do i start i have instaled alsa-base [09:05] i hope, seriously 4 days of this ...first my dvd rom wouldn't work but i got that fixed [09:05] looooooool [09:06] stefano_ : you r using the easiest ways [09:06] thanks u for urhelp [09:06] but [09:06] Extend, hehe :> not exactly but it should work for you i guess [09:06] i don't need this too ;) [09:06] hey. I'm trying to set up my laptop running gutsy to connect to my new wireless network (old one worked fine), which uses DHCP (old used just MAC filtering). I'm not able to get an IP address (not receiving any DHCPOFFERs). I think it might be to do with an error that I get, ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH] - Operation not supported. It's a laptop from c. 2003, so it may not support WPA. Where can I find out what the problem is? [09:07] yeah but i know there is a command line for it but i forgot it [09:07] Extend, "uname -a" shows you the kernel version [09:07] wholy crap, its loading!!!!!!! thanks tons jaapjan-work! [09:07] i used other linux distros when u type uname -a it give u the os name version ..etc [09:07] and the krnel i know [09:07] ..etc [09:07] nuknght: You're welcome. Best of luck! [09:07] thanks [09:08] i have always had sound probs with linux in general [09:08] Extend, think of the distribution more as a bunch of programs than a package, how should it know what version it is :> [09:08] my sound card isnt even in lspci [09:08] Extend: lsb_release -a [09:09] you r realy a prince [09:09] thanks PriceChild :) [09:09] nice! [09:09] is that what you wanted? i just showed up [09:09] stefano_, There? [09:09] sure OsamaK [09:09] Nippon overwhelming..... [09:10] haha might help if i had the audio controler enabled in the BIOS :P [09:10] yea that would help [09:10] TUplink, hehe :> [09:10] haha [09:10] i enabled the codec thinking it was the controler [09:10] :P [09:10] stefano_, It takes long time, then it shows a brown backgrond and a normal mouse. Without any icons and anything else === smartnet2 is now known as bunny_37 [09:11] wow... i like how the screen brightens itself fully when it would normally dim after i adjust the brightness manually [09:11] OsamaK, if you havent got much RAM, the ubuntu live cd might not work. if you want to install ubuntu anyway, you can use the "alternate cd", thats fairly easy, but you have to prepare your hard drive [09:12] OsamaK, do you know how much RAM you have? [09:12] stefano_, I'm using Ubuntu in my laptop, it's working very well. This Computer is higher RAM than my laptop (1GB) [09:12] 50000 [09:13] Hi peeps, whats the safest way to install the latest kernel with the latest nvidia drivers? [09:13] <\tsunade> risa [09:13] how long will EEEPC power on with out DC [09:13] Osamak, you could try installing via the OEM text-based install [09:13] What's that? [09:14] Asus EEEpc [09:14] OsamaK, well sorry, i don't know why it doesnt work then. but i would recommend that you download the "alternate cd" and use it to install ubuntu on that machine, that would work most certainly [09:14] Johnuah, about two hours [09:14] stefano_, link? [09:14] it's on the live cd one of the other boot options [09:14] still no DSP tho [09:14] tks stefano [09:14] Is there a tornet file of it? stefano_ [09:15] OsamaK, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download there is a little checkbox below the green "start download" button, check this box to get the alternate cd [09:15] OsamaK, yes there is, but i don't know where, you can just use a mirror near you that should be fairly fast [09:16] well, sorry for that [09:17] OsamaK, did you get the link? [09:17] anyways ALSA is sound drivers right? [09:17] yes [09:17] Alsa is sound yes [09:17] TUplink, no, alsa is the advanced linux sound architecture [09:17] I'm going [09:17] bye OsamaK [09:17] see you later [09:17] ok.... well how do i know what driver i need [09:18] BTW, stefano_. Is there a Tornet file? [09:18] could anyone give me a guide link of mail server installation based ubuntu server 710 with not only web browser but also pop3 & smtp [09:18] the kernel should detect your sound card if its supported [09:18] its an old mobo so im sure it should have drivers [09:18] OsamaK, i don't know, you can search for it with google, there should be one, it should be named ubuntu-7.10-alternate something like that [09:18] stefano_, Thanks a lot. let me see you again [09:19] sure [09:19] hi room [09:19] TUplink, try to find out what kind of sound chip you have on your mainboard, then put the name of it plus the word ubuntu into google, that should give you a good idea on how to install it [09:20] hi ugenk_ === nandemonai_ is now known as nandemonai [09:20] Need Guidiance: Mail Server, with web\pop3\smtp, ubuntu server 710 ??? [09:20] you might not need a driver so why try to install it [09:20] i cant install firefox 3 [09:20] can someone help me [09:20] i want to install beta 4 of it [09:21] viktorius I don't know if thats in the repository so you have to download it from Mozilla probably [09:21] Viktorious, you should wait for the next version of ubuntu (next month), currently it's not very stable [09:21] no it's in the repositories [09:21] I don't know [09:21] it just came out couple days ago [09:21] it is in the repo [09:21] dsnt matter i still wanna use it now its hell fast [09:21] Viktorious, open up synaptic and search for firefox and see if you can find the right packages there [09:22] i tryed it ddnt work [09:22] it wont update my version 2now [09:22] Need Guidiance: mail merver package, with web\pop3\smtp, ubuntu server 710 [09:22] Viktorious, you should wait for ubuntu 8.04 [09:22] sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 [09:22] hey guys, I need some help with a Ubuntu 7.10 and Vista dual boot issue. I had an NTFS partition (X) that I was using in both, as of the last few days the partition is no longer accesible in vista, but works fine in Ubuntu. Vista always runs a chkdsk on it at startup and can see the files, but once booted cannot access the partition giving the error message: 'this drive or folder is corrupted and cannot be accessed'- Any ideas? [09:22] when does ubuntu 8.04 come out and what will change [09:23] it comes out in april [09:23] saqimtiaz i have the same exact problem [09:23] will 8.04 have latest nvidia drivers? [09:23] Viktorious, it will come out in april (04) 2008 (8), and it will rock :> [09:23] yes [09:23] almost [09:23] what will be so differnet about 8.04 [09:23] souper: have you made any progress with figuring out what's going on? [09:23] ? [09:24] maneh didieu jir? [09:24] Viktorious, it will have all the latest version of all the upstream software, better hardware support, basically everything will be even better. and it will include firefox 3 by default === \tsunade is now known as ita [09:24] well i've found people saying that when gparted resized the ntfs partition it corrupted it because of the way vista stores data [09:24] but i resized in vista first and i still have the problem [09:25] souper, that sounds reasonable [09:25] souper it might be messed up [09:25] resizing a partition is always dangerous [09:25] stefano_: is that hardy heron [09:25] especially with vista [09:25] ipe64, yes [09:25] ok kool but i wanna use firefox 3 now lol the beta 4 i used it on windows and luve it [09:25] souper, stefano_ thing is that my partition was working in both Vista and Ubuntu and stopped without fiddling with the partitions [09:25] saqimtiaz, vista could have messed it up [09:25] i've also read something about vista not liking being loaded by grub and that if you install the bootloader from the windows recovery environment it may work [09:26] vista tends to mess things up [09:26] anyone know a good socks5 server implementation for ubuntu? [09:26] (i know about ssh tunnels, but that's not what i want to do) [09:26] crshman, isnt socks5 pretty insecure? === Adys is now known as Adys|unavail [09:27] well i'm not using it for security so i don't care [09:28] hi, how dow i find out what is using a certain module? want to unload it but it says it is in use. it is not in use by another module [09:28] lsmod [09:29] I've got another bizzare question. I was messing around with Virtualbox and on restarting X got a HAL failure. When I rebooted, the laptops LCD would not switch on though the external monitor works. Now I know that sounds like a hardware problem but the timing is very suspicious. Any ideas? [09:29] saqimtiaz, try to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it may help [09:29] try the function key and f5 [09:30] saqimtiaz, do you have intel graphics? [09:30] souper: the fn key won't help..... [09:30] stefano_: nvidia [09:30] mh [09:30] thing is the lcd won't turn on even for a second, not even to display the bios [09:30] sounds tricky [09:30] oh that does sound like a hardware problem indeed [09:30] so.... not sure how it could be Ubuntu related.. but figured I would ask because of the timing [09:31] er not f5 [09:31] stefano_: one more question if I may [09:31] souper: f4 [09:31] strike that not f5... i just put myself to sleep [09:31] saqimtiaz, ask as many questions as you want [09:31] yea that's what i meant [09:31] anyone some help with firefox 3 lol [09:31] Viktorious, how does the problem show exactly? [09:31] does that mean firefox 3 release for windows will be out in april === Scientus_ is now known as Scientus [09:31] it installs something but i check firefox and still version 2 [09:32] Viktorious, check your shortcut [09:32] Viktorious, no, ubuntu is going to integrade the beta version of firefox, because it is a long term release [09:32] I'm trying to boot a live cd now, since I've royally broken my Ubuntu install. But right when it should start X the screen goes blank. Im guessing because it tries to use the internal lcd (which does not work) instead of the external monitor. Any ideas on how to get around that? [09:32] Viktorious: System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager [09:32] Settings - Repositories - Updates Tab [09:32] Enable “Unsuportted Updates (gutsy-backports)“, close, and press RELOAD [09:32] Viktorious you have to change the default webbrowser [09:32] how to find out what my video card driver is call? [09:32] the one that im running right now [09:32] to what [09:32] saqimtiaz, even if the external monitor is not plugged in? [09:32] run firefox-3.0 from the command line and watch [09:33] Viktorious, no you don't have to change your default browser [09:33] hi can someone tell me, where gdm/gnome looks for its language settings? [09:33] yes Viktorious do what souper suggested [09:33] Viktorious: that will give you firefox 3 beta 3 in synaptics [09:33] then what do i do [09:33] stefano_: remember that the external monitor is the only one that works so it has to be plugged in [09:33] Viktorious, check if you shortcut is pointing to the firefox beta and not firefox [09:33] i already installed that [09:33] how [09:33] the firefox 3 doesn't install over the top of firefox 2 [09:33] doesn't install over but it could be pointing to firefox [09:34] hi.. how to check the video size in ffmpeg? [09:34] how to find out what my video card driver is call? (the one im running right now) [09:34] type firefox-3.0 in the command line to run it [09:34] i havt the firefox tar.bz2 on my desktop how do i nistall it [09:34] tekknokrat, when you log in, there are two buttons, one is called session and the other one should be language or something like that, there you can select the language you want that session to be in, it also asks you if you want to make that language default. if your language doesnt apear in that list, you need to install the corresponding packages [09:34] you didn't do it via apt-get? [09:34] Viktorious, don't use the tar.gz it tends to mess things up [09:35] thats how it told me to do it coz i did the package one and said updates done and nuting [09:35] Viktorious, if you installed it from synaptic, it should be in your menu (as a seperate entry) - it doesnt upgrade your firefox 2 but installed ff3 aditionally [09:35] anyone else have any ideas on how to use a Live cd, when the internal LCD on a laptop is busted and the external monitor works? [09:35] stefano_: the problem ist that i tried that and other things too, but the language doesn't switch to german and keeps in english [09:35] Viktorious if you type firefox-3.0 in the command line does it open? [09:35] saqimtiaz, i think you should contact your notebook manufacturers support hotline tbh [09:36] stefano_: the laptop is going back for service but I want to data recovery first [09:36] tekknokrat, do you have the german language packs installed? [09:36] stefano_: hence the wish to boot off a live cd [09:36] stefano_: my goal is to have gnome applications in german language, again [09:36] <[dcr]> g'bye stefano_ [09:36] gecko:6841): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "aurora", [09:36] saqimtiaz, most laptop support comapnies will allow you to take the hard drive out [09:37] thats what happen asnd the gran paradiso opens [09:37] stefano_: yes [09:37] can someone tell me how to find out what my video card driver is call? (the one im running right now) [09:37] stefano_: interesting. I might have to try that. thanks! [09:37] stefano_: gnome, kde language packs and language-support [09:37] tekknokrat, you are using ubuntu 7.10 right? [09:38] <^A^kira> i used fluxbuntu, now removed fluxbox and installed kdm and kde, when i turn on my pc i see only blue kde background.... [09:38] <^A^kira> how to fix it? [09:38] stefano_: sry missed that, yes gutsy/amd64 [09:38] ^A^kira, that doest soind wrong [09:38] tekknokrat, wait a second, i look something up [09:38] techt0nix, in a terminal type lspci and it will be listed [09:38] noticias diario sur [09:39] stefano_: ok [09:39] brb, rebooting [09:39] tekknokrat, see if this article helps you: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Spracheinstellungen [09:40] tekknokrat, especially the language-pack-gnome-de part [09:40] ere4si, i take it its Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE right? [09:40] can anyone help me mount my externel usb-disk via fstab in gutsy - entry "/dev/sdg1 /media/usb_disk ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,user=myuser 0 0" doesn't work [09:40] <^A^kira> stefano_> what could be wrong? [09:41] techt0nix, maybe not - 1 min [09:41] ^A^kira, you said you installed kde, and now you have a kde background - that sounds pretty normal to me, don't you think? [09:41] mount: only root can mount /dev/sdg1 on /media/usb_disk [09:41] techt0nix, it will have vga in the line [09:41] ingo type sudo before the command [09:41] <^A^kira> yeah... but i have no kicker, no menu and nothing else except of kde bckground === lipsin is now known as lipsinOffline [09:42] ere4si, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [09:42] but its an entry in my fstab [09:42] ^A^kira, oh! :O i see, try installing the package kubuntu-desktop [09:42] ^A^kira, fluxbuntu is based on ubuntu but is not an *buntu [09:42] ere4si, can i PM you? [09:42] ^A^kira, maybe some bits are missing, this package should install _everything_ that kde needs [09:42] techt0nix, yep that's it [09:42] stefano_: I tried everything done in this article i also switched to gnome to see if it is a kde problem because i use kde mainly [09:43] <^A^kira> stefano_> can't... it'll take too much time and... i did installed kde kore... [09:43] ingo, and you see that error message when exactly? [09:43] <^A^kira> untill i installed kdm it did work fine [09:43] techt0nix, in the channel others may benefit [09:43] ere4si, just one more question im trying to add the driver to blacklist so do i put Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device [09:43] tekknokrat, did you tell kde to use german as your primary language? (at the " Land/Region & Sprache" panel) [09:44] techt0nix, why blacklist? [09:44] ^A^kira, thats not enough appearantly [09:44] hi ... I installed compiz-fusion from GIT, but then I don't run Opera : opera: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. [09:44] please help me [09:44] stefano_: of course, that was first thing i have done, i also installed qt-language-selector [09:44] the error message by double-click on "usb_disk"-icon is "Unable to mount the selected volume. mount: only root can mount /dev/sdg1 on /media/usb_disk" [09:44] ^A^kira: try a new user it sometimes works for me [09:44] techt0nix, that will be the i810 driver I think - that's what you will need to blacklist [09:45] have you restarted since adding the fstab entry? [09:45] i will mount the usb-disk via fstab [09:45] ere4si, i think my linux is trying to load up 2 video cards and i can only boot with my onboard video card (i'm thinking this may help me get my nvidia 5500 to boot ubuntu) [09:45] tekknokrat, that sounds very strange. i don't think it is too easy to fix. maybe you want to post a new thread in the ubuntuusers.de forums, thats generally a good idea if you have a compliated problem [09:45] techt0nix, you will need to disable the onboard video from the bios [09:45] How do I format a brand new SATA HD? [09:46] ere4si, yes but many others told me to also blacklist it [09:46] d0tk0m, use the program "gparted" [09:46] ubuntu won't recognize my PCI wireless adapter even though it's installed (properly). I know the card works and I've already installed ndiswrapper and the needed drivers for the card. ndisswrapper -l reports a proper driver and that the device is present but iwconfig and network manager don't show any type of wlan device. [09:46] k, k3wl [09:46] stefano_: Hm, I have found an open thread there with similar problem, and the supporters gave up [09:46] tekknokrat, wow that's very strange [09:47] stefano_: so my initial question is what env variable does gnome uses to check the language? [09:47] ere4si, when i go to screens and graphics it shows 2 diff drivers my nvidia and my onboard on 2 diff monitors [09:47] Sorry, that was supposed to have a question, anyone know the fix? [09:47] techt0nix, did they mention the driver name - from what I know it is the i810 driver [09:47] tekknokrat, i think it's called LANG and the appropreate value should be de_DE@euro [09:47] can anyone help me mount my externel usb-disk via fstab in gutsy - entry "/dev/sdg1 /media/usb_disk ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,user=myuser 0 0" doesn't work [09:48] tekknokrat, open up a terminal and type locale [09:48] I just installed hardy alpha 6. worked fine. I updated and it killed my system... [09:48] techt0nix, have you done sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:48] tekknokrat, and see if the results match the ones on the wiki page [09:48] ere4si, yes but i can only do that on my onboard video card [09:48] stefano_: my locale only looks LANG=de_DE [09:48] can't log in on text console or anything... also rescue boot won't starta root shell. [09:48] I think it is a libc thing [09:48] i don't know why you would have to add that fstab entry [09:48] tekknokrat, that looks fine [09:48] techt0nix, one min [09:48] my usb-disk mounts fine without it [09:48] ere4si, when i try to boot with my nvidia card it just hangs and i have to do a cold shutdown [09:48] that's very strange [09:49] tekknokrat, there is a section in the wiki page called "Systemweite Änderung", did you try to do all that stuff? [09:49] ere4si, i have google.com my problem and tryed everything but this blacklist, so i figured why not try it.. [09:50] stefano_: hm, yes i think this is the old way of doing locale thing result is de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro... up-to-date [09:51] tekknokrat, 8859 is not exactly up to date [09:51] techt0nix, I can only suggest that it is the driver you need to blacklist - am reading stuff on it [09:51] <^A^kira> how to add kicker to autorun at kde? [09:51] could someone try this webpage for me: http://www.pokertube.com it just doesnt work on all my ubuntu computers [09:51] can anyone help me mount my externel usb-disk via fstab in gutsy, please ?? [09:51] <^A^kira> *where to add kick that it'll be autorun at kde? [09:52] stefano_: i just tried with only de_DE (without euro) and it generates 8859-1 [09:53] ls -a ~/.kde i forgot the actual name of the file but i'm pretty sure it's in there [09:53] i haven't used kde in a while [09:53] stefano_: do you have ubuntu running and if can you look if locales shows LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 for yours? [09:53] sure [09:53] is it any good dvd progs for Linux? [09:54] tekknokrat, LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 [09:54] zod_: i use VLC from the medibuntu repository [09:55] some of my dvd (eks the simpsons sessong 7) dont work there [09:55] : i made the subdir "/media/usb_disk" as user root - my fstab-entry is "/dev/sdg1 /media/usb_disk ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,user=ingo 0 0" [09:55] tekknokrat, i',m sorry i don't have any more ideas :\ [09:55] zod_: do you use the medibuntu version? [09:55] tekknokrat: what are you trying to do? [09:55] ere4si, when adding i810 to blacklist do i just put it on the last line? [09:55] stefano_: ok i'll try to get de_DE.UTF-8 [09:56] yes, something about that i dont have the license to watch the dvd [09:56] tekknokrat, hope it works :O [09:56] any one know if ogle works good? [09:56] techt0nix, yep [09:56] CaBa|: my gnomeapps are all in english but kde is german all langpacks installed [09:56] when adding something to black list to i just put it on the last line as (I.E blacklist i810) [09:56] : i don't know if sdg1 is the right device - how can i see it??? [09:57] tekknokrat: and you want everything in german? [09:57] ere4si, when adding something to black list to i just put it on the last line as (I.E blacklist i810) [09:57] CaBa|: goal is to have german for packages like gdm,gimp, tomboy again [09:57] tekknokrat: what ubuntu version? [09:57] evil evil [09:58] CaBa|: gutsy/amd64 [09:58] tekknokrat: did you try to set the locales in /etc/environment? LANG and LC_ALL? [09:58] CaBa|: yes [09:58] tekknokrat: did you reboot? [09:59] ingo ls /media and see what's listed there [09:59] CaBa|: they look the same like /default/locale [09:59] tekknokrat: well did you reboot? [09:59] CaBa|: not today, but yesterday i also tried with several reboots [09:59] no [09:59] tekknokrat, uh, are you using KDE4? [10:00] ubuntu [10:00] CaBa|: I tried also language-env [10:00] this shows my device-folders - but i don't know if /dev/sdg1 is the right device ... [10:00] language-env [10:00] nothing [10:01] stefano_: no its still kde 3.5 [10:01] tekknokrat: when you open a terminal in gnome, does locale display DE or EN? [10:01] tekknokrat, okay, because your forum post said kdm-4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2.2 [10:01] Hey guys - When starting I am getting this error: Refusing to initialize GTK+. [10:01] /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... [10:01] touch: cannot touch `/tmp/session-is-gnome': Permission denied [10:01] mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied [10:02] stefano_: hm, which thread? [10:02] Anyone know how I can repair this? [10:02] stefano_: i tried kdm4 when it was released in january [10:02] ChevronX: is your harddisk full? [10:03] no [10:03] tekknokrat, maybe your packages got mixed up. [10:03] ChevronX: did you mess anything with your /tmp folder? :P [10:03] Yes :-( [10:03] quakky_: you ever find any #alsa folks awake? [10:03] I deleted everything inside there [10:04] thinking it was safe too.. I was wrong [10:04] ChevronX: well in that case... did you try to reboot? [10:04] Im experiencing extremely slow performance on a Dell PE1800 with e1000 - 3mbit on a 1000mbit network. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? [10:04] stefano_: na i am using kdm-4:3.5.8 which means version 3.5.8 [10:04] Yes; I have restarted several times. [10:05] ChevronX: what does 'ls -ld /tmp/' say? [10:05] drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2008-03-13 23:01 /tmp/ [10:05] ChevronX: you even changed the permissions!! [10:06] stefano_: but you're right i will remove kde/gnome completely and try to reinstall stepbystep [10:06] Arh didn't know that. I had copied a command in [10:06] * ChevronX slaps myself [10:06] tekknokrat, you could try to just install the package kubuntu-desktop without removing something beforehand [10:07] drwxrwxrwt 14 root root 4096 2008-03-13 04:47 /tmp [10:07] Is there anything I can do to repair this? [10:07] ChevronX: yes, stand by... i dont know how to restore the tmp-bit at the moment [10:07] make it writable [10:07] stefano_: never done this :) do you think it will add something missing in my installation? [10:07] +t i think [10:07] prince_jammys: yes, tmp is 777, but you need the t-bit as well [10:07] tekknokrat, yes possibly [10:07] chown +t /tmp/? [10:08] chmod [10:08] let me check [10:08] +t? [10:08] ChevronX: yes [10:08] ChevronX: chmod 777 /tmp; chmod +t /tmp [10:08] ChevronX: that will do the job [10:08] there you go [10:08] Awesome [10:08] It worked [10:08] drwxrwxrwt 10 root root 4096 2008-03-13 23:01 /tmp/ [10:08] done [10:09] ChevronX: looks good again ;) [10:09] You guy's are awesome [10:09] Im going to attempt to restart again. [10:09] stefano_: ok, i'll try that first [10:09] lampo [10:09] Anything else I need to do before I do do you think? or I should be ok? [10:09] moihalooooooo [10:09] stefano_: thank you for your help! [10:10] ChevronX: just reboot [10:10] tekknokrat, youre welcome [10:10] Thanks alot :-) [10:10] fac yuo [10:10] stefano_: ok, see you later :) [10:10] Heya all [10:10] When you apt-get java where does it put the jre ?

[10:12] waltterilepisto: you dont have anything better to do? [10:12] ok [10:12] In particular, it's a dual boot, and yaboot got over-written [10:12] I'd like to know how to restore it the easiest way possible [10:13] I'm using 7.04 on a Mac but mine is Intel [10:13] stefano_: ah do you mean this thread, http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/157503 [10:13] Obviously, I don't want to overwrite the Ubuntu install that's there already [10:13] Is an install CD the best solution? [10:13] stefano_: perhaps it is related with this problem, but i had it also running for a while with the affected line commented out... [10:15] czesc [10:15] #ubuntu-cz right guys?

[10:15] rahuene: České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. [10:15] Hi [10:17] hi === alfirin is now known as DruadanBot [10:17] bye [10:18] techt0nix, shouldn't be if it was disabled in the bios and you dpkg'd the xserver - asuming that was the correct driver [10:18] Found! [10:18] ere4si, right im asuming its the wrong driver [10:18] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/25515 [10:19] The suggestion to hold Alt during startup to choose the boot disk worked like a charmù [10:19] techt0nix, if you dpkg the xserver it will tell you the driver it is using - so blacklist that one if you don't want it used [10:20] X server driver just says Intel [10:21] bye [10:21] so just blacklist intel? [10:21] techt0nix, then the line blacklist intel goes in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [10:21] ere4si, ok i will try that [10:21] k [10:22] hi all, i'm new but will try not to be noobish [10:23] ask away Ezicc ;] [10:24] Can I upgrade to PulseAudio if I install 7.10, or do I have to wait for the next version of Ubuntu? [10:24] I've dual booted a mac mini + ubuntu 7.1, installed fedora and got a wiki running so my internal network can view it and everything is good :) [10:24] but... [10:25] i'm struggling to get our main network shared drive to mount [10:26] Shoopuf: you mean pull some hardy into gutsy? like that? [10:26] it's a windows network, with small business server, the network share is on the server, I've googled mounting network shares but can't find anything relevant to my situation [10:27] bazhang: Yah, my Internet is quite slow so downloading 8.04 would take a while, hoping to upgrade from 7.10 to ALPHA if possible. :P [10:27] Shoopuf: you want to meet me in #ubuntu+1 ? ;] === Itaku-Sleep is now known as Itaku [10:30] Ezicc: You're trying to mount a Windows share? [10:30] yes [10:31] Ezicc: Okay. I just came in, so I might have missed some stuff.... have you tried mount.cifs? [10:31] Good morning all, - im looking for some really helpfull information about installing ubuntu - with either braille or Speech support- i was told that ubuntu is rather ahead of others about this, and i would love to learn about about this (so i could start on learning howto help others - [10:33] ichat, although I've not used it, there is this page about text to speech that may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TextToSpeech [10:33] hey guys, getting a 403 Forbidden from archive.ubuntu.com when trying to do an upgrade (heron) [10:34] any info? [10:34] i get error because my program does write or read from /tmp dir.? [10:34] how can i fix this? [10:34] when is the new ubuntu verson released? [10:34] zod_, Its due towards the end of April [10:34] next month zod_ discussion in #ubuntu+1 [10:35] should i use chmod 777 /tmp???? [10:35] ichat: I am not sure that the installer is accessible right now - but I may be behind the times. [10:35] micadeyeye: /tmp should have 1777 [10:35] is it stable the new verson, or wait some days before install? [10:35] but i don't wanna screw things up [10:35] hey fellas, i got my laptop setup with ubuntu, when i plug in my headphones, the sound does not come through - any thoughts? [10:35] ks3 so i should use chmod 1777 /tmp??? [10:36] ks3: so i should use chmod 1777 /tmp??? [10:36] Joelio, Could be that the repo is down at the minute, I'd suggest asking in #ubuntu+1 with you querying about the Alpha version of Hardy [10:36] micadeyeye: that is correct [10:36] how to get all hardware devices drivers in ubuntu installed? [10:37] dgjones: - ty for the link, - ill start reading it, - - i have lots of people that are blind (or near to it), and who want to explore linux too, yet its rather hard - to support it as im (sadly to say) not a real guru (yet), [10:37] micadeyeye: If it doesn't have that mode already, yes. If you do 'ls -dl /tmp', it should show as drwxrwxrwt [10:37] thnaks, that reminds me, each time i hibernate my IBM R52 laptop AND RELOAD, I lose sound [10:37] zod_: 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon was realeased 2007, month 10. 8.04 Hardy Heron will be released 2008, month 04 [10:37] dgjones: I've just changed my sources to gb.archive.. (it was archive..). Working now.. presume they'll fix upstream [10:37] ah i see [10:38] ichat, you're welcome, there are some other text to speech app's I've heard mention of, but I can't rememeber what they were called, somebody else may know the answer though [10:38] why? [10:41] i need to connect to it via internet, i have 50 xp stations connected to a 2003 server using roaming profiles (desktop,my documents,registery,etc are stored on the server), the internet gateway is the centos server, so i have a local network with local ip's and the internet network with the internet ip, [10:41] the problem is that i need a laptop using a internet conection to connect to the local area network via internet, i need all windows networking features available, somehow, that laptop must endup connected to the lan with a lan ip [10:41] micadeyeye: the sound drivers probably can't handle the suspend. It's usually fixed by telling acpi to unload the module before suspending, and reload it after the system is back [10:42] micadeyeye: you do this by editing /etc/default/acpi-support, and add the sound driver module to the MODULES="" variable [10:44] ProbeDot, a windows server question here? [10:44] ProbeDot: sounds like you should read up on VPN [10:46] ks3: can i use chmod 1777 /tmp/*?? cause i want all files to have xrw [10:46] what program do i use/ get to detect and fix bugs in ubuntu? [10:46] geirha i need to connect a laptop in austria to a local area network in france [10:46] so that the laptop access al network resources of the lan in france, i want the laptop to act as a workstation in the lan, both laptop and lan have internet access, lan has one public ip, laptop same [10:47] ouch, maybe I shouldn't have done an upgrade... glibc is dead :'( - apt's now broken [10:47] Joelio: in Hardy? [10:47] can i use chmod 1777 /tmp/*?? cause i want all files to have xrw [10:47] yea [10:47] ProbeDot: that's what VPN does. [10:47] #ubuntu+1 for the workaround Joelio [10:47] any ideas what I can do.. only the running processes are working.. [10:48] can i use chmod 1777 /tmp/*?? cause i want all files to have xrw [10:48] geirha i don't want to move the entire existing lan to vpn, that will take weeks [10:48] micadeyeye: you shouldn't do that. The files in /tmp/ should be owned and only readable/writable by their creators [10:48] !repeat | micadeyeye [10:48] micadeyeye: 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 [10:48] live cd, chroot, rerun apt-get update and hope that they've fixed it? [10:48] thanks [10:49] ProbeDot: ok, but I don't know of any other way to do it [10:49] do you have to somehow redirect audio output to the headphone jacks? [10:49] geirha ic. [10:49] Joelio: this is the wrong channel for Hardy discussion [10:49] bazhang: what is the correct one, ta [10:49] !patience [10:49] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [10:50] ouch.. i found the headphone switch... [10:50] Joelio: you can scroll up a few lines?

[10:51] Joelio: /join #ubunutu+1 ;) [10:51] ProbeDot_, afaik VPN allows you to connect to your local network via internet and gain a local ip using it, thus granting you local access to your network [10:52] can you download the html document and read them off line [10:53] Damie: including all the links, or only that one page [10:53] all links [10:53] is it any mediacenter in Linux (ubuntu 7.10) simular to the microsoft mediacenter? === ProbeDot is now known as ProbeDot_ [10:55] geirha i never used vpn before. need guidance [10:56] hi, my english is bad, any person speak spanish [10:56] !es [10:56] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.

See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [11:12] Hi, I'm trying to compile Qosmic but I get the following error: [11:12] Project ERROR: qosmic requires Qt >=4.3 [11:12] error while running qmake [11:12] baudelaire: may as well back up now and reinstall [11:12] But as far as I know I do have Qt4.3 installed as well as the dev stuff [11:12] wow, why is that? isn't that too harsh? [11:13] baudelaire: automatix is ubuntu killer #1 [11:13] damn [11:13] can you explain further? this is a temporary install anyway luckily... [11:13] baudelaire: there's an explanation in the link above [11:13] oh i see [11:14] bazhang: you have some link with comparation between centos/red and ubuntu ? I ask this because my boss like to use oracle "Unbrekable" Linux (based on red hat) and we don't have support to updates on this SO... and I like to use ubuntu server... but I need to say: "look here... the ubuntu server is a good option because.... " [11:14] baudelaire: bad implementation of a good idea [11:14] hang on spaww let me check [11:15] WorksForMe? Interesting philosophy --- I like it [11:16] http://www.layeredtech.com/dedicated-servers/linux-server.php spaww this might have something [11:16] hey guys, bazhang hey,.,.anyway whenever i try to download the svg image from -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Firefox-logo.svg -- it tries to save as image.svg.png why? [11:17] spaww: well when it comes down to it both redhat and ubuntu will be using the same tools for what you want (iptables for firewall and bind for dns...) === KenSentMe_ is now known as KenSentMe [11:17] prince: i cant look into var/lib/php5 could it be in there, it says i dont have permission [11:18] bazhang: tkz [11:18] This still begs the question, is it possible or recommended to install java to work with firefox in gutsy64? [11:18] hey all, does anyone know what directories firefox writes to? [11:18] other than firefox and .mozilla [11:19] cpk1: yes, i know... for me ubuntu is a very good option... buuut... boss is the boss kkkk... and need a paper with "ubuntu is secure... like red hat" [11:19] sureshot: i don't know about php extensions, but you can look in the directory using sudo [11:20] spaww hope that was what you needed [11:20] brb - switching pc - to laptop, - getting ready to testdrive ubuntu with accesibilitie options :) [11:20] join /##php [11:20] isos_, /j ##php [11:21] lol [11:21] !lol | Mojo [11:21] Mojo: 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. [11:22] prince_ how do i look there with sudo? [11:22] sureshot: sudo ls /var/lib/php5 [11:23] spaww: centos is a debranded RedHat, so you should have a problem there. Why not just use debian etch? it has better integration with Bastille, and papers are available to discuss the hardening of the system, like CIS Debian Benchmark [11:23] prince oki ty what does ls mean? [11:23] shouldn't* [11:23] sureshot: list [11:24] sureshot: "display a file" or "display the contents of directory" [11:24] prince:i see, but php.ini have access to it i right and i just add path === Ergo^ is now known as EightLeggedCamel [11:25] prince: is there command for that to display? [11:25] sureshot: display what? [11:26] sureshot: there has to be a guide out there somewhere, so you don't have to be fishing around in your system trying to find files [11:27] prince: yep ur right ls didnt help i still cant look [11:29] hi, i have a new machine where i have installed Ubuntu 7.10 server for AMD 64, but it still only sees 3.2 gigs of ram, how can i check if i am really running in 64 bit mode? [11:29] sureshot: if you describe exactly what you are trying to do, maybe i can help you find a guide on the internet === EightLeggedCamel is now known as Ergo^ [11:30] Zampaktu: try uname [11:30] Zampaktu: lsb_release -a [11:30] hi, how can i map a network drive om my ubuntu ? [11:30] u name -r only shows: 2.6.22-14-server [11:30] prince: im trying to add a path in php.ini (that i can open) path to extension_dir(modules) ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside. [11:31] khalid: you mean to just access a network share from nautilus or mount it to use it in applications? [11:31] Zampaktu: uname -a will show your arch [11:31] Zampaktu: what about lsb_release -a [11:31] FrancoGG: no lsb modules available, then it says i am running gutsy, no 32/46 bit [11:31] thanks [11:31] i'll try that [11:31] sureshot: and you tried adding the path to the php.ini file? [11:32] sureshot: is that the file you are looking for? [11:32] OK, uname -a shows i am running X86_64, but why does it still not see my 4 gigs of ram? [11:32] prince_ i cant find the extension_dir = "c:\PHP\ext" that look like that in windows [11:33] Zampaktu: Does your BIOS see all 4gb? [11:33] i mean mount it to use it in applaications [11:33] Pici: my bios see all the ram [11:33] so if i only could find the directory where php/ext is [11:33] sureshot: you looked in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini ? === Ergo^ is now known as EightLeggedCamel [11:34] Zampaktu: Where are you looking in Ubuntu where you only see 3.2gb? [11:34] Zampaktu: A guess, is your video card sharing some of the ram? [11:34] Zampaktu: How did you determine that it's only see.... dang. [11:34] my keyboard appears to still be in a french layout after i setup xserver-xorg for a us keyboard...any ideas how to fix this? [11:34] khalid: you need to install the smbfs package [11:34] prince_ yes that php.ini file it is im trying to change [11:34] * atoponce has 4GB installed with onel 3.8 visible [11:34] Pici: cat /proc/meminfo [11:35] s/onel/only/ [11:35] khalid: and you can use that to mount samba shares off a windows computer [11:35] thanks for the answer [11:35] atoponce, you refering to system memory? [11:35] ArthurArchnix: i have taken a look at th /proc/meminfo file [11:35] prince_under path and directries there is a line [11:35] Dr_willis, total physical ram [11:36] Hi, I'm having some trouble with compiling rtorrent. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4771670.html?sid=e5c6e6e233f52b0b11f2168e54cb7e82 describes the error, but i can't seem to solve the problem [11:36] atoponce, thats common on many machines with exactly 4 gb of ram - on a 32bit OS. [11:36] the line that says Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside [11:36] /proc/meminfo shows 3.97 actually. hmmm [11:36] yeah. i'm not too worried [11:37] htop shows the 3.88 GB btw [11:37] sureshot: [11:37] ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside. [11:37] ; extension_dir = "./" [11:37] is it any point to get an antivirus prog for Ubuntu, if yes which one? [11:38] yes exactly [11:38] anyone know anything about keyboard layouts? [11:38] atoponce: do you have on-board video that uses shared memory? [11:38] insanerp, sure [11:38] pajamian, yes [11:38] atoponce: that's where the rest of the memory is going, then [11:38] in windows it look like that extension_dir = "c:\PHP\ext" easy to find [11:38] pajamian, naturally [11:38] hey everyone... [11:38] other devices can also subtract from that 4 gb total. since its a 4gb of total addressable space issue. [11:38] but in Ubuntu? [11:38] i installed ubuntu server and my keyboard's in french [11:38] Not just video cards. [11:39] I'm trying to install Parallels Workstation, but it's rejecting me [11:39] when i set it up as US [11:39] insanerp, do you have X installed [11:39] yes [11:39] it needs "libc6" to be set up [11:39] insanerp, what are you using to set your keyboard to US? [11:39] xserver-xorg [11:39] Which antivirus is good for ubuntu? [11:39] insanerp, what's the command your are running? [11:40] !antivirus | zod_ [11:40] zod_: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [11:40] zod_, why do you think you need one. :) [11:40] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:40] clamav is you must zod_ [11:40] err if [11:40] insanerp, setxkbmap us [11:40] that'll set the X keyboard layout. to set the console keyboard layout: [11:40] dpkg-reconfigure console-data [11:40] thank you [11:41] i'll give them a try [11:41] (yes, i think it's lame that it has to be done twice. we need a system-config-keyboard) [11:41] any one know about webcam in pidgin messenger? [11:41] insanerp: mais oui, you can accseezz the keyboard setups through your menuez. >preferences >keyboardz [11:41] never mind that antivirus then, i have been in the Windows world too long, good that i finally got Linux HELL YEA LINUX [11:41] insanerp, np [11:41] anyone install parallels? [11:41] or any other virtualization program? [11:41] ArthurArchnix, that just sets it for your session, and not system-wide [11:41] ArthurArchnix: i tried that, it didn't seem to change anything [11:42] imaginativeone: I use virtualbox [11:42] atoponce: loadkeys might work? [11:42] OddRationale: how do you like it? [11:42] how many people, wow [11:42] imaginativeone: Really good. Highly reccomended [11:42] n2diy, never had much luck with that actually [11:43] imaginativeone: also vmware-server [11:43] atoponce: me neither. :/ [11:44] OddRationale: Thanks for the tip [11:44] imaginativeone: np [11:44] * atoponce misses his irssi. this xchat tab completion is driving me batty [11:45] ArthurArchnix: do you have any idea as to why my machine inly sees 3.2 gigs of ram instead of 4 [11:46] OddRationale: how do I run it, once installed? [11:46] I would like to have it in my Applications list [11:46] imaginativeone: System Tools [11:46] lancerocke you around? [11:46] sureshot: look in usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ [11:46] Zampaktu, on a 32bit system - there can be hardware and other limitations. I read up on it once. theres a lot of little things the can be making some of the ram not addressable. [11:47] sureshot: /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ [11:47] imaginativeone: You'll have to add yourself to the vbox user group and log back in for that change to take effect. [11:47] prince : oki will check [11:48] Dr_willis: thanks, i have found the answer in a forum: hanks. I see this when booting the computer in the first screen: [11:48] Memory consumed by system resources: 898 MB System RAM [11:48] So I think there it is the answer. Also saw this in the DELL faqs: [11:48] BIOS must reserve some address space below 4GB for PCI devices such as RAID controllers, SCSI controllers, NICs, etc. RAID controllers in particular may request and be given 256MB each. This is address space that would normally be occupied by RAM, but instead is used by PCI devices. [11:48] RAM addresses start at 0 and grow up. PCI device addresses start at 4GB and grow down. As long as there is no overlap, the OS will see all available RAM and make use of it. If there is overlap, the PCI devices win, and that RAM is not made available to the OS. [11:48] Zampaktu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:48] This is working as designed per PCI, BIOS, and system chipset specifications. [11:48] Zampaktu, Bingo - You figured it out. :) [11:49] Zampaktu: thanks for sharing ;] [11:49] Likei said hardware limitations :) [11:49] at what point in pasting does FloodBot1 get cranky? [11:49] has there been any updates since 7.10? [11:49] next one is 8.04.. due late next month [11:49] ubuntu, yes. security and bug fixes [11:49] how can i convert a .svg to .png ? i tried a util online but it didnt work,.,.any ideas guys?

[11:51] prince there is just some files that ends with so like this mysql.so in windows there are many .dll files but i dont know what similar files in ubuntu is? [11:51] bod_: imagemagick supposedly works svg to png also [11:51] atoponce, gimp screws the .svg when opening it, in gimp it looks nothing like what it looked like in inkscape [11:51] ubuntu, i don't know. what was the issue? [11:51] ubuntu the new driver covers that card [11:51] nyar88, is there a gui for imagemagick? [11:51] I'm helping a friend put audio files on is Motorola i880 cell phone.

[11:53] Pici, what do you mean? [11:53] bod_: inkscape can export svg to png [11:53] bod_: raster = not vector, I think Inkscape can export as png if you want, unless you're planning on doing some sort of batch thing, which imagemagick would be better for [11:53] prince:im trying to run a webshop and to have that going some extensions must be loaded but where:( [11:54] bod_: the above command (convert mypic.svg mypic.png) also works, but you don't get a transparent background [11:54] Pici, prince_jammys i wanna make pretty pictures thats all,.,. how do i export something,. and how do i keep the transparent background? [11:55] bod_: I dont have it in front of me, but I believe the option is somewhere in the File menu [11:55] bod_: Simpler to convert, not worry about background, open in Gimp and colour to alpha [11:55] bod_: look in inkscape, there's "export bitmap" or something like that. as far as the command, i don't know [11:55] ArthurArchnix, ahh,. the sound of things flying over my head,.,.lol,.,. whats colour to alpha? === EightLeggedCamel is now known as Ergo^ [11:57] ok, need a bit of help getting fstab not to make my sys freak out on restart, any one able to help?

[12:03] n2diy, i did,. thought i was a chef then turned out i was a housewife [12:03] ubuntu ah okay; then should be allright--sometimes with newer cards/drivers you might get dropped into a shell instead of the gui, at which point you want to reconfigure the xserver [12:03] bod_, if you (re)install windows you can boot windows .. ? [12:03] Ezicc: i have linksys at the moment (wrt54gs), but it's not working correctly and really i'd like to get something more powerful. any particular model? [12:03] bod_: same thing no?

I use hyperwrt+thibor15c [12:04] n2diy, no,.lol,. i thought i had enough know-how to be confident with 1 box, sold the other then screwed things up [12:04] Gothfunc: you want something with multiple ethernet ports and wireless and a usb port for using as a torrent box--then the asus is the one [12:04] sureshot: you can install the mysql extension through apt, and it should be configured automatically [12:04] any one know where to get an good list of non-official Linux Games? please tell :) [12:05] non-official? theres official games? [12:05] bod_, not if you tell windows not to do anything to the file system and then give it an alternate dir to install to (for example, c:/win2)_ [12:05] well not all the tux games, like fps or something [12:05] !info php5-mysql | sureshot [12:05] prince: yeah sure but it probably is about 44 more extensions in there [12:05] bazhang thank you for your time am closing out good day [12:05] ubuntu: you might want to write this down just in case; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [12:05] sureshot: php5-mysql (source: php5): MySQL module for php5.

I have four boxes here, when things go bad, and only one is working, I start to get worried. [12:06] ubuntu come on back if you have any issues ;] [12:06] Laruft: is that alternate firmware? [12:06] bazhang tks [12:06] gothfunc yes [12:06] ;] [12:06] Laruft: looking now :) [12:06] bod_, hmm .... but ... what are you working on now? .. [12:06] n2diy, lol,. i have 1 box, three months experience and a big hammer,.,. things rarely go wrong,. but when they do it gets messy [12:06] is it normal that Ubuntu sometimes hang up, and u cant do nothing at all? [12:06] will hardy ship with gnome 2.22? [12:07] bazhang: usb for torrent box? how does that work? [12:07] #ubuntu+1 for that white_eagle [12:07] white_eagle: Yes, of course [12:07] prince: sorry im new to ubuntu the !info php5-mysl where do i look for that [12:07] zod_, ive rarely seen that happen. - you can alwyas try 'ssh'ing into the box and see what crashed. Video drivers are often the main problem. [12:07] Odd-rationale: and will it be available as an update to gutsy? [12:07] bazhang: could you check an fstab entry for me? [12:07] Gothfunc: you turn off your computer and plugin a drive to it and it keeps running--pretty nifty for getting nightly builds of various distros [12:07] hischild, oh i fixed it,.,. went to my sisters, stole her computer, added my gard drives,.,. somehow (following a million online windows tuto's) fixed something and got windows to boot,. allowing me to back it up, then get the super disk,.,. [12:08] help, I just was in the middle of updating hardy and I got some weird malloc errors... [12:08] white_eagle, no === lipsinOffline is now known as lipsin [12:08] oki tnx, Dr_willis [12:08] what about gnome 2.20 [12:08] bod_: roger that, I've worn out a couple of big hammers since 1999. But it has been worth it. [12:08] white_eagle, maybe under the backports [12:08] white_eagle: Hardy will. Don't know about gnome 2.22 [12:08] and now I can't log in any more, has anyone else encountered this? [12:08] sureshot: you can install using "synaptic" in your system->admin menu, or type " sudo apt-get install php5-mysql " and then restart apache [12:08] !ot | white_eagle [12:08] white_eagle: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:08] bod_, lol ... i thought you were still havin the trouble ... but yeah .. sometimes a sis is oh so usefull ;-) [12:08] white_eagle, gnome 2.20 is currently running in gutsy [12:08] bazhang: it runs torrent software on the router? [12:08] oh, I forgot [12:08] :) [12:08] thought of 2.18 [12:08] Gothfunc: aye [12:08] thanks [12:08] is it any new gnome out?, i got the gnome that follows the ubuntu 7.10 [12:08] I had my Linksys NSLU2 working as a torrent downloader. :) [12:09] bazhang: sounds pretty cool :) [12:09] zod_: it is out, but it isn't available as an update [12:09] n2diy, definately,.,. hischild, yer, but i had to beg her to let me borow her machine,.,.

[12:22] Hello Guys. well im trying to see my limewire folder at winxp..my nautilus freeze .. and if i force an closing..my desktop got out of icons..and i cant do anything on my gutsy..does any1 know what is that? [12:22] Gutsy keeps shutting down my P4 3.20 GHz laptop [12:22] kaxi: hotswap? [12:22] which log should I look in? [12:22] n2diy is that it? thanks. i'll give it a shot [12:22] I'm worried for the latest nvidia drivers i have installed tho when I update the kernel. [12:23] carrera, Perhaps dmesg [12:23] whats the safest move? [12:23] n2diy, that depends,.,. dos has changed with every distro,.,. win xp dos is different to win 98 dos,. and orig dos,. and disk repair mode has limited dos,. DOS was written by a college student bulied into giving it to microsoft,. who is owned by billy who went to school with the creator of apple who is allergic to fruits which grow on trees,.

[12:24] :P [12:24] d0tk0m, nvidia drivers are just modules, install them though synaptic, reboot, and they should be loaded, the actual kernel shouldnt matter as long as its relatively new [12:24] Jack_Sparrow, it's 3:54 pm here [12:25] I can successfully mount my networkshare using the following: [12:25] sudo mount.cifs //demysserver/documents /J -o credentials=~/.smbpass [12:25] however, the fstab entry causes ubuntu to freak out when I restart, once i manage to get ubuntu to start the network share hasn't been re-mounted.

[12:28] ubuntuuu: gnome is the regular ;] [12:28] Jack_Sparrow, Gutsy shut down on configuring Apache [12:28] ubuntuuu, regular [12:28] Jack_Sparrow, right, but then it speeds up my fans [12:28] Ok, thank you =) [12:28] hugsies [12:28] n2diy, stop ruining my story,. it sounds better my way,.,. anyway yes if there was a util like that in ubuntu it may be usefull [12:28] oops ubuntuuu disregard my last comment [12:28] Jack_Sparrow, so I don't see the need for shut down [12:28] carrera: when was the last time you cleaned out your computer?

[12:30] carrera, I am going to be lurking for a bit and having coffee with the wife... back in a bit ok [12:30] pajamian, did i tell u that this does not happen with Win XP, Fedora 6 or 8 [12:30] Ezicc: is there a space in that path? [12:30] Jack_Sparrow, can i pm u? [12:31] Ezicc: never mind [12:31] Jack_Sparrow, have fun and say GM to the wife [12:31] yes, but I wont answer for a bit [12:31] carrera: nope, and so it would seem that's not the problem, but just the same it's easy enough to clean it out and check, just pop the case open and visually observe the fans. [12:32] bod_: yes, someday you'll have to finish the story! :) But we've been put on notice, for now.

[12:57] hi whats a music program like itunes that i can use on ubuntu to add and orgranise all my music for me like itunes [12:57] why is that [12:57] kalatian, word thanks, was forgetting the syntax [12:57] couldn't find it on google [12:57] hi. I need some help with my wireless card/antana [12:58] lord_nikon, look in #ubuntu+1 to see.. :) just dont do it for a week is my advice [12:58] on Xubuntu [12:58] hi. I need some help with my wireless card/antana on Xubuntu [12:58] nikitis: no problem -- just wasn't sure if that's what you wanted :) [12:58] lord_nikon, a bug that makes the system err.. not bootable. is currently going on. [12:58] oh damn [12:58] kalatian, yea it is, but what's the rule with that again? can you delete the file to break the bind? [12:58] or just reboot [12:58] Odd-rationale: now i highly suspect it is due to pidgin [12:58] Viktorious: if you dont want to do complicated thing rhythmbox might be sufficient. if you like more features, use amarok [12:58] lord_nikon: I suspect the 403 is the package(s) that are causing trouble [12:58] kalatian: it is [12:58] yao_ziyua1: You use pidgin on kde?

The best that Linux has is Amarok, Exaile or Rythmbox. [13:00] u just click add music and organises it awesome [13:00] AQ_LIVE: Could it already be installed? [13:00] XMMS :) [13:00] amarok > all [13:00] how come that when I want to install programs some of them are grayed out? I can't install firefox for instance [13:01] Viktorious: amarok offers the most features. if u look for something small that looks like winamp 1.x and has even less features take xmms [13:01] AQ_LIVE: Could it already be installed? [13:01] it's not installed [13:01] the new winamp is nice [13:01] Viktorious: dont expect something like that from xmms :)) [13:02] Viktorious: If you decide to go with Exaile don't use the version in the repos. The deb available from the website is more feature rich and stable. [13:02] AQ_LIVE: what happens when you open a terminal, and enter "firefox"? [13:02] Viktorious: At least, that's been my experience. [13:02] hey plase anyone, I asked about Compiz troubleshoot.

[13:06] Odd-rationale: I thought noboxy talks in xubuntu [13:06] Hey, anyone know how I can play .rm files? [13:06] techt0nix, you installed the bnvidia drivers with the restricted-manager tool? [13:06] thanks dns53, i just burned the alternate iso with ubuntu on my laptop. I hope it created a bootable CD [13:06] ArthurArchnix: :( [13:06] Cyntrox: i had some issues with that but solved it [13:07] dns53, a burn window poped up as soon as i inserted the blank CD [13:07] Dr_willis, yes i have tryed so many things its crazy im about to give up on ubuntu [13:07] orkun: how did you solve them? [13:07] first try out the official real player. maybe it might be downloadable [13:07] i couldnt solve [13:07] but at last i sticked to mplayer [13:07] with all the codecs installed [13:07] techt0nix, gettting my nvidia cards going under linux takes me all of.. 50 sec.. :) thats counting the download time. [13:07] there are some values there [13:07] techt0nix, whats your EXACT nvidia card? [13:07] how do I upgrade my Gutsy to gnome 2.222 [13:07] ? :D [13:07] Dr_willis, Nvidia 5500 [13:08] it can play real media and if you work around with the video output options and enable zoom you can even use proper fullscreen for streams like http://ocw.mit.edu [13:08] Dr_willis, or u can call it Nvidia GeForce 5 series [13:08] techt0nix, You may want to check the forums to see if any others have had issues that that card. I got a 5500 in one of my older machines. (i think) i just isntalled the nvidia-glx driver package for it. and away it goes. [13:08] plse someone help me fix this resolution issue [13:08] How come xmms won't save the ID3 information for music? [13:08] bcos i hate this 800*600 [13:08] is there a way to create a user that has access to only *one* directory? [13:08] I'm helping a friend put audio files on is Motorola i880 cell phone. I can read and write to the card with no problems, once the Dapper sees that card. The problem is, it takes hours for Dapper to find the card in my reader. It is a standard Sandisk SD 256m card, Ideas? [13:09] N2diy -- How do i fix the problem if it's only the icons tha are missing [13:09] (to be accessed through ssh) [13:09] Dr_willis i have check the forums over tryed everthing on there [13:09] whats the command to watch starwars in the terminal? [13:09] techt0nix, weirdness.. whats the exact problem with it? black screen? no screen? crashing? [13:09] How can I tell ubuntu NOT to load a specific module...? [13:09] !blacklist | shujin2 [13:09] shujin2: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [13:09] does anyone know if i can minimize to awn liek a viedo and it will play in the bar [13:10] Viktorious, doubtfull. [13:10] thank you [13:10] n2diy -- How do i fix the problem if it's only the icons tha are missing [13:10] AQ_LIVE: I don't know! I just live with the fact that some programs have to be run from the command line. :/ [13:10] techt0nix you want the video using ascii art? try the aalib plugin for vlc [13:10] Hello everybody [13:10] AQ_LIVE, you have tried logging out and back in? [13:10] is awn included in hardy heron btw [13:10] Dr_willis, when i boot with the Nvidia when grub counts down it just says "Out of Range" [13:10] i read about that some months ago [13:10] i've a problem with Totem to read a DVD [13:10] ok thanks [13:11] when i'm trying to read a DVD, Totem return me an error about "ressources" === ccooke_ is now known as ccooke [13:11] so what do you write when you want to use firefox? [13:11] techt0nix, aha. That sounds like your monitor settings are not correct.. Not the video card. The card may be trying to use a res higher then what the monitopr can handle. [13:11] hiii [13:11] AQ_LIVE, err.. 'firefox' :) [13:11] quick question: does ubuntu support (as in, is officially supported) root partition on LVM? [13:11] Dr_willis and how do i fix that? [13:11] lol that's it :D nice [13:11] !fixres | techt0nix [13:11] techt0nix: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [13:11] bye every one [13:11] techt0nix, of course.. some of the other fix's you may have tried.. may have goofed other stuff up. [13:12] techt0nix, you have a lcd or crt monitor? [13:12] nixar i dont think so. as most tutorials i saw suggested a separate /boot partition [13:12] AQ_LIVE: firefox [13:12] Dr-willis, i cant boot it in recover mode either it brings a long list of text down and last line is work_notifysig+0x13/0x25 [13:12] who weet how I can these examine? here only gives cubes to see linkje http://media.rtl.nl/web/components/films/rtlvideo/film/playlists2/woensdag_flodder_in_amerika_p01.avi.mimedia_wm_800k_v9_av_film.asx [13:12] amenado: grub doesn't support LVM so that's understandable, but I'm talking about root (/) [13:12] Dr_willis, 19" LCD [13:12] not boot [13:12] techt0nix, if you can get to a login: , and login, you can try fixing things from the terminal. in various ways. - [13:12] I have now downloaded RealPlayer10GOLD.bin for linux... What am I supposed to do with it? Sorry, I'm new to Ubuntu... [13:13] i believe if it is it's on the "server" install, is there a way to run the server install wihtout booting from alt cd? [13:13] Dr_willis im in Ubuntu right now just in on my onboard video card [13:13] i have my root and /home on a lvm, you need a seperate /boot but after that it does not matter [13:13] thx dn [13:13] thx dns53 [13:13] Cyntrox: thats the thing i could not even do [13:14] Cyntrox: now open a terminal [13:14] techt0nix, so you are powering off and installing the nvidia card, and booting up to test it out every so often? [13:14] orkun: Okay [13:14] dns53: how did you do the install, ubiquity does not seem to speak LVM [13:14] expect it to be in the same folder then write ./Realbluh to just execute it [13:14] the important thing is the dot slash before [13:14] Dr_willis, yes when i try a new thing i power off then go change my BIOS [13:14] orkun: Okay, thanks [13:15] use the alternate install cd, you can also use it to set up software raid and possibly an encrypted partition [13:15] anybody got any experience of Madwifi/Ndiswrapper? Got some serious problems here with a DWL 650 + [13:15] techt0nix, Icky. Your constant changing may be really confusing the xorg.conf file also. [13:15] if it is not executable you want to use chmod +x Realbluh before [13:15] I'm trying to use cplay, a command line MP3 player and it can't find any players to play MP3 or FLAC files, does anyone know any? [13:15] Cyntrox why real player though? it's evil [13:15] sinbox: to play .rm files... [13:15] Dr_willis, i even tryed to blacklist my onboard video card and nvidia would still not load up [13:15] smokeyd: Dolfie! [13:15] How do I modify my current partitions in Windows XP to get ready to dual-boot Ubuntu? [13:15] because it is easyer to play all real media files with a working real player than with mplayer [13:15] Xine is better than GStream engine ? [13:16] Cyntrox, fair answer :) is there no alternative on Linux like there is on windows? [13:16] yes, mplayer - and vlc for audio [13:16] sinbox: Not that I've seen... [13:16] techt0nix, it may be loading.. but just usign the wrong monitor config. You can always edit the xorg.conf to use the 'nv' driver instead of the 'nvidia' drivers to get a desktop. but the nvidia drivers are needed for full use of the card. [13:16] orkun: It tells me ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:16] I'm helping a friend put audio files on is Motorola i880 cell phone. I can read and write to the card with no problems, once the Dapper sees that card. The problem is, it takes hours for Dapper to find the card in my reader. It is a standard Sandisk SD 256m card, Ideas? [13:16] vlc wasn't doing very well with rm files the last time I checked about a year ago, but that was the windows version [13:17] Will Ubuntu 7.10 update to gnome 2.20? [13:17] try sudo apt-get install helix-player before [13:17] !find libstdc [13:17] Dr_willis, "nv" driver will not get past "out of range" also [13:17] Found: libstdc++5, libstdc++5-3.3-dev, libstdc++6, libstdc++6-4.1-dbg, libstdc++6-4.1-dev (and 16 others) [13:17] it should hopefully install all the necessary libraries [13:17] yop [13:17] techt0nix, that makes it sound even MORE like its a monitor config issue. not a video card issue. [13:17] MinusS [13:17] MinusSeven, my 7.10 has gnome 2.20 [13:18] how did you update? [13:18] N0fx: qsl? [13:18] orkun: Still doesn't work [13:18] Just the update program? [13:18] if not you will have to install all of them manually using sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 etc [13:18] I didn't MinusSeven it was just there [13:18] Dr_willis, may be i kinda thought maybe the video card is making the monitor use a res that is to high [13:18] do you know how to handle apt? [13:18] or probably the auto update did it after the initial install [13:18] ok [13:18] for installing stuff? [13:18] brb [13:19] techt0nix, in theory the video cards now a days query the monitor, to see what modes they can handle. ive not seen a mode out of range, on a lcd monitor in years.. [13:19] orkun: Only the simple apt-get install foobar [13:19] yes - you can and will have to install all the missing libraries manually using apt [13:19] how do I see what version is running? [13:19] or switch to mplayer [13:19] orkun: It says it can't find libstdc... [13:19] techt0nix, you could always edit the xorg.conf and tell it exactly what mode to use. Or use the various X config tools to select a nice safe mode. and ifit works. backup the xorg.conf file, then start tweaking it. [13:19] MinusSeven, System > about gnome [13:20] ok [13:20] Dr_willis, well thats my only guess it only does "out of range" when trying to boot with nvidia [13:20] how about "apt-cache search libstdc" [13:20] u should get a huge list of libs :> [13:20] techt0nix, is this a dvi conected lcd or vga connected? [13:20] orkun, Found: libstdc++5, libstdc++5-3.3-dev, libstdc++6, libstdc++6-4.1-dbg, libstdc++6-4.1-dev (and 16 others) [13:20] dr_willis, vga [13:20] I bet it wants libstdc++5 [13:21] then do "sudo apt-get install libstdc++5, libstdc++5-3.3-dev" [13:21] techt0nix, bummer that you dont have a dvi cable/connection. dvi seems to make the mode reporting much smarter. [13:21] the second one could be bloating and unnecessary(as i am also new to linux) but cannot be a harm [13:21] orkun, no need for the , and no need for the -dev pckage either. [13:22] right ^^ copy paste sry [13:22] orkun: Thanks, trying now... [13:22] well its bed time for me.. Night all.... [13:22] so just do sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 [13:22] Dr_willis, come to think of it it has one i can use [13:22] my resolution still at 800*600 [13:22] well he left [13:22] someone help me plse [13:22] orkun: Yeah, it's taking one hell of a lot of time though.. [13:23] but you could have to go on and on installing libraries because real screwed up :> [13:23] Mhm... What worries me is that it's still on 0%. [13:24] once booted in rescue mode from an install cd, how can i run commands like pvs and lvs? they don't appear to be in the filesystem. [13:24] I have Ubuntu v7.10 Gusty. I want to work on my website. The website is based on PHP and MySQL. So I want to know about the software which I need to test the site without having to upload it again and again after edits. [13:24] what hell is going on with hardy, update manager just fuck up my hole system [13:24] should not be :> [13:24] lunaphyte_: open a terminal, and run them from there.

[13:41] johnuah: try ies4linux [13:41] Jack_Sparrow, u said, "not with the live cd", does that mean the alternate cd should detect my motherboard RAID? [13:41] fn1, how can I get it ?? [13:42] do it has a homepage [13:42] Buzu, make note of this for the moment http://paste.stgraber.org/1505 [13:42] johnuah: do a search on Google for ies4linux [13:42] tks [13:43] carrera, Personally, I quit using those motherboard raids..

[13:45] jack mobo raid isn't that good anyway... the spannes are defined in the (bios) and all the rest is done by the cpu... so no gain there.. - using the inbuild software=raid linux provides is far more advanced, - [13:45] n2diy: no sudo, no su, no whoami, so i don't even know who i am.

[13:46] if the installer disc can create lvm volumes, then i should certainly be able to do it if i boot from the cd, right? the tools must be on the disc somewhere... [13:47] Jack_Sparrow, a gigabyte? [13:47] hello everyone [13:47] ichat, I am aware of that, which is why even though my board supports it. I dont use it [13:48] Jack_Sparrow i type the command [13:48] carrera, If it does not auto detect.. it does not autodetect [13:48] is there a mozilla channel?

Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults [13:50] Buzu, You would do that from recovery mode === mick_home__ is now known as mick_home [13:51] Buzu, At this point I would restart... we may still need to make that edit to your xorg.... but try it first [13:51] how to change d brightness n contrass of videos [13:51] ok ill try thnx =) [13:52] terminal : http://wiki.videolan.org/Change_the_brightness_or_contrast_of_a_video [13:52] hello, anyone here from Latvia ?

[14:06] FF2 is fine. any ideas? [14:07] anyone able to help me sort out the line i need in /etc/fstab to get two windows network shares to automount? I can get them to manually mount using cifs, so I'm half way there!! :D [14:07] Tu13es, that is why they call it beta software... takes time reading and troubleshooting [14:07] nDuff: .. ah.. so SANE offers an API of their own.. didn't know that.. then we just need SANE support for all those scanners out there.. thanks [14:08] Ezicc, PAstebin your fstab for starters [14:08] full thing or just the line i'm querying? [14:08] full [14:08] viden, couldnt find package [14:08] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, I was just wondering if it's a known issue [14:09] Jack_Sparrow: ok, will do [14:09] Ezicc: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ [14:09] Ezicc, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit [14:10] Jack_Sparrow, shouldn't you add -b "pastebinaddress" behind that?

(would save me some typing) [14:10] Viden: it's not a samba share [14:10] Jack_Sparrow: i've got pastebin [14:10] hischild, it will not use our pastebin and the author said she cant get it to use ours. but I am looking at the code this week [14:10] Jack_Sparrow: just not on the system atm :P [14:11] windows network share that is not samba ??? [14:11] Ezicc, No rush.. try rading the link from Viden [14:11] Jack_Sparrow, yeah ... but what pastebin does it throw it to? [14:11] and .. she?

I use cifs to manually mount the share "documents" [14:16] Viden: looking at the link you gave me, i'm not seeing anything i've got wrong... yet it isn't working :( [14:16] brb [14:16] If you have a Core 2 duo processor should you run i686 or a 64bit version ? [14:16] S82, if you have a specific need for 64bit (4gb ram+ or specific apps) go for the 32bit version [14:16] Hey. Can someone give me a hand? I'm trying to grab the INF file for a broadcom chipset, either through wine or online then I can have my damn B/G cap. [14:16] ezicc: the fstab line should be something like //server/share /mnt/mountpoint smbfs username=user,password=password 0 0 [14:17] may i know how well is cordless devices supported in Linu? =) [14:17] not sure how to use a passwordfile to acomplish the login [14:17] Jenson-, my wireless keyboard/2 mouses work fine =) [14:17] *Linux [14:17] mine is fro Logitech [14:17] Jenson-, logitech mx1000 laser mouse over here [14:17] so it should work like plug-and-play?

[14:18] ooh...mine is codrless deskop EX90 [14:18] *cordless [14:18] hi hischild [14:18] thanks [14:18] =) [14:18] now i have confident to use [14:18] Viden: the username password file just stops it being visable to anyone who doesn't have root access [14:18] Jenson-, you're welcome. if you're in doubt, you can always run the live cd first and see that they are detected. [14:19] i c...i'm now running on windows well, so i'mthinking of using it in Ubuntu later [14:19] gotcha ... sorry i am not much help with cifs since we dont use it here for anything, all my shares are directly samba and I mount about 20 of them in fstab [14:19] the funny thing is my friend don even know Ubuntu :S [14:19] hischild, I had a mx logitec, never got it to work [14:19] Hey. How can I grab a INF file from Windows to run through NDISWRAPPER, then I can actually have b/g. [14:19] Viden: can you explain samba? is it an acronim for something obvious? [14:19] !samba [14:19] i think they only know Red hat and Fedora >.<" [14:19] 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. [14:19] Jack_Sparrow, that's odd ... mine works flawlessly out of the box [14:20] its the default file access method from anything to the MS world [14:20] hischild, It was a diff model #.. [14:20] lunch is calling .. bbl [14:20] Jack_Sparrow, what model did you have? [14:20] why samba rather than, ldap (ms talks ldap quite well).

[14:21] brb [14:22] hi, I heard about this programm that allow one to share mouse/keyboard/clipboard with other pcs (windows, linux etc). I can't remember its name anymore. Anyone? [14:22] btw, anyone know whether Ubuntu 7.10 can support x86 notebook?i even have the problem viewing the desktop after successfully loaded the LiveCD === Scientus_ is now known as Scientus [14:22] magicwin? [14:22] Jenson-, chances are its a graphics problem if you can't see the desktop [14:23] Jenson-, dual or single boot box [14:23] Jack_Sparrow: Is it this? /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??? [14:23] graphic card...but i'mrunning ok with 7.04 feisty fawn [14:23] me have the same prob and certian S3 / via / sis vga [14:23] Jack, what you mean? [14:23] Buzu, that is the /path/file yes [14:23] check the drivers.. you may have been running vesa with 7.04 and now its running nv, ati etc.. [14:24] ooh..it could be [14:24] Buzu, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:24] so do you mean if i use back vesa it should work? [14:24] yoru best bet is to edit xorg.conf to run vesa, then try and figure out a better driver from there [14:24] jenson - YES [14:24] yup [14:24] logophobia: synergy http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ [14:24] but in the st place, is Gutsy for 32 bit or 64 bit? [14:24] Jenson-, a couple things.. [14:25] Jack, are you referring to MagicWin? [14:25] i'm not sure whether that is the correct name [14:25] Jenson-, If the install went fine but then boot went to black.... see if ctrl-alt F2 gets you to a cli login.. [14:25] but i know from single CPU you can split to two machine, but if the main one is shutdown the other one will auto shutdown too [14:25] Is there anyway to reinstall ubuntu without formatting the home-directory? [14:26] Jack, i c [14:26] Jenson-: gutsy is available for both 32 and 64 bit [14:26] Jenson-: i had to start in safe graphics mode off the CD on my thinkpad, but after installing, it all worked fine [14:26] Whats a good program for improving typing speed in linux? [14:26] zicho, - there is if you partition your disk - with /home on a second partition [14:27] ichat: how do i do that? [14:27] nraic: I think there is one with tux... tux typing or something.. if you like the gaming variant of training [14:27] zicho, Livecd install formats the entire /root but you can run live and copy /home to a usb before installing [14:27] !info klavaro | nraic [14:27] nraic: klavaro (source: klavaro): A very flexible touch typing tutor.

[14:27] hello [14:28] Thanks guy, :D [14:28] anyone can help me to start a tftp server for a pxe boot [14:28] guys* [14:28] ? [14:28] Jack_Sparrow: Yes i know but i dont want to move the home-directory., [14:28] zocho - what jack says + than manually parttion your harddisk to include a seperate /home partition for the next time youl need it [14:29] chlorone-> there are many tutorials on how to do this, get one going and we will assist you once you get really stuck..rather hand holding at the get go [14:29] So there is no way to just reinstall without touching the home-directory? [14:29] zicho, Understood, but you do want to reinstall, you cant reinstall live without formatting/ "Root" and if /home is on root then you must move it if you want to dave it [14:29] save [14:29] amenado, i tryed many time and i google it too ;) [14:30] Jack_Sparrow: So i can just move my home-folder to root? [14:30] chrolorone tried many times? and at which portion were you having problems with? [14:30] zicho, No.. [14:30] zicho: reverse that. [14:30] Move home away from root [14:31] isnt there some way to create a new partition and move home there, before reinsalling? [14:31] amenado, when i try to launch tftp it doesn't do anything each file i edit contains what forums said [14:32] zicho: man fdisk [14:32] try filezilla? [14:32] zicho, starting over, you have a regular install without a second partition containing /home .. you need to reinstall. but you dont want to lose /home. the livecd is going to format the entire partition. Since /home is on that partition it will be lost if you do not move it .. to a usb or another partition [14:32] chlorone do you expect anything to happen after you start a tftp server? [14:32] amenado, i think a port may be open no? [14:33] zicho-> go ahead create a new partition, mount it and copy the /home contents to it, then start install upon verification files are okay at destination [14:33] zicho, it does not matter where you move it. If you make another partition and move home there . that will work and is a good idea [14:33] zicho: you can resize your current partition, make a new partition for /home, copy your home directories there, and then reinstall, specifying what to mount where [14:34] Jack_Sparrow: the system works great now Big thnx =) [14:34] chlorone to serve a service, a ip address + port combination is indeed required [14:34] Buzu, Glad I could help, some of those ati are unfriendly [14:35] Buzu, install ccsm to work with effects [14:35] !ccsm [14:35] does anyone know how to add radio stations in rhythmbox [14:35] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'.

I guess you'll have to stop sharing the drive before you can unmount it.. sounds unpractical.. [17:24] No1CaNTel, can you unmount then mount again? [17:24] balle_: ok.. as long as it works =) [17:24] nvm [17:24] how do I go about doing that? [17:24] slart: could this be because ubuntu is not running on my -c or something? i know the partitions are numbered but anyway [17:25] or maybe how to find out which program is still accessing the drivE?

[17:37] damjan: I see. [17:37] slart: yes well, was thinking in that direction, could you possibly help me on how to correct my servers? [17:38] Devo: sh/dash is mostly just used for scripts and such [17:38] Slart: What is Bash used for?

[18:13] Jafet: yes.. if you hibernate to disk, the data in the swap partition must be the same [18:13] damjan, I see. Thanks. [18:13] Yacci: you'd have to install a kernel source package [18:13] ok, thx and where do i get it? [18:13] Yacci: or, a headers package [18:13] Yacci, using your favorite package manager. [18:14] Yacci: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic [18:14] Yacci: but, you should already have that installed, as it's a dependency of ubuntu-desktop [18:15] Anyone have any ideas? [18:15] hmm... [18:15] Can someone help me.. i installed compiz-fusion from the trevino repositories and for sume reason it is running like 4 times, here is the results of 'ps aux|grep compiz' http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59509/ [18:15] Hi imhaving trouble in gusty what happens is everything logs in and i can use anything firefox, terminal whatever but then after 5 minuites everything freezes and locks up i posted my specs http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=721638 [18:15] Yacci: "apt-cache policy linux-headers-generic" will tell you its stsatus [18:15] hi for all and kiss for the nice ladies here [18:15] its status* === giany911 is now known as gabrielb [18:16] whenever I put a cd in the computer i get an error message "Cannot eject volume" "You are not privileged to eject this volume" [18:16] jack_sparrow http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59511/ [18:17] on feisty btw [18:17] Pressing okay, the message goes away and the cd works [18:17] Anyone have any ideas of sleep on? I have no idea what could be wrong. I think it might be nvidia or the ath_pci(madwifi) modules [18:17] one sec [18:19] Can someone help me.. i installed compiz-fusion on feisty from the trevino repositories and for some reason it is running like 4 times, here is the results of 'ps aux|grep compiz' http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59509/ [18:19] hello is the amsn package updated? [18:19] What's the command to find out which process is using a file? [18:19] I can tunnel x over SSH from my home system, but how can I do so and have it forward the windows that are currently open on that system? [18:20] Hi im having trouble in gusty what happens is everything logs in and i can use anything firefox, terminal whatever but then after 5 minuites everything freezes and locks up i posted my specs http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=721638 === doom_ is now known as DOOM_NX [18:20] Tu13es: you can't.. there is an utility called xmove that should do something like that.. but .. well.. you can try for yourself =) [18:20] hrm.. [18:21] Heya - I know UNIX doesn't save the creation date of a file - just when it was last modified. Anyone know if Linux handles that differently? [18:21] so I'll need to use VNC if I want to do that? [18:21] or can someone tell me which files fun on gnome startup so i can fix it myself? [18:21] Tu13es: yea.. something like that [18:21] Slart: gotcha. VNC is slow and ugly :( [18:21] s/fun/run [18:22] K-Rich - I just got here. Having trouble starting gnome? [18:22] Anyone? [18:22] Tu13es: yes.. I agree.. but take a look at xmove.. perhaps you can beat some sense into it.. [18:22] X is slow and ugly! [18:22] Slart: will do, thanks :) [18:22] Jafet: not fair.. it's trying its best... =) [18:22] Striking7: no, for some reason compiz runs like four times, here is what i've been asking [18:22] Can someone help me.. i installed compiz-fusion on feisty from the trevino repositories and for some reason it is running like 4 times, here is the results of 'ps aux|grep compiz' http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59509/ [18:23] balle_, I was not trying to leave you hangin.. still here.. I have a valid Dapper Source List http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59514/ [18:23] Checking it out, K-Rich [18:23] thank you Striking7 [18:23] balle_: did you figure it out? [18:24] jack_Sparrow: so i should just use that one to override my current or what? [18:24] slart: mayhaps... still working on getting the right directories to get updates from.. [18:24] I have 7.10 on a Dell PowerEdge 1600 with a video adapter that shows up as "ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL" in lspci. I'm using X.org 7.2.0 with xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.6.3-2ubuntu6. xvinfo shows "maximum XvImage size: 720 x 204" but I want a full screen overlay at 1024x768. how do I achieve this? [18:24] Hello people! [18:24] balle_, Hold on.. trying to make sure we get this right for you since you fell off the back end of the support line [18:24] K-Rich, is this causing problems, like eating up a lot of memory or you have to wait for each startup of compiz? [18:25] hi [18:25] I have a cd with an autorun exe. I want to run it in ubuntu. Wine is installed. What do I do next? [18:25] I am confused about i386/amd64 versions. The webpage says that i386 should be used "for newer apples", which to me indicates "Core Processors". AMD64 says "use this if you have a 64-bit processor".. .which the Core2 is... So, what do i really want for a Core2Quad? [18:26] Striking7: The standard timestamps are only atime, ctime and mtime, I believe. [18:26] jack_sparrow i'm staying put but i have already open the root for the update thingy places with the bad URLs, so if those are the right ones, a simple copy-paste would do it? please correct me [18:26] j2^: try the 64bit live cd first.. if that works.. go with it [18:26] Jafet: so would ctime be creation time? [18:26] Al-Hur rightclick and run with wine [18:26] j2^: while you could use either, most people use the 32bit [18:26] Striking7: no alot of memory, like a 400k for the compiz and 15mb for compiz-real... i've been trying to figure out how come it crashes when i try to logout and i noticed this [18:26] j2^, unless you have a specific need for the 64bit ... like more then 4gb of ram, or specific apps ... go for the 32bit [18:26] tritium: Will do! [18:27] j2^: there is no significant peformance gain with 64 bit, and application support on 64bit is not quite as good as on 32 bit [18:27] balle_, yes those are the correct repos for the next release up from where you are... There is a degree of uncertainty here. Please do not endanger any data you cant replace.. [18:27] unimatrix9: ouch, that gave me an error :( [18:27] tritium, i slightly disagree on that one ... it does run faster over here when running 64bity [18:27] Jack_sparrow so a backup is in order? [18:27] K-Rich - That doesn't look very suspicious to me... but have you tried killing one or two of the processes and see if things stay stable? [18:27] how do I change the FSCK thing to only run every 50 instead of every 30 times I boot? [18:27] dfcghndfcghndc [18:27] K-Rich - do you have an ATI card? [18:27] hischild: I said not significant, not zero [18:28] Al-Hur , cd into the directory of the cdrom and then run with wine...from commandline [18:28] tritium, about 20% increase is pretty much imo [18:28] tritium: then again, there is 8GB in this box.... [18:28] Jack_sparrow: well the data i'm trying to change is already corrupted.. [18:28] balle_, Backups are always in order with distro upgrade.. in my opinion Use that dapper source list.. then sudo apt-get update [18:28] Anyone want to help me figure out why I can't suspend or hibernate? [18:28] will do.. [18:28] Striking7, it's kind of funny. Unix uses ctime as "change time", while Windows uses it as "creation time". [18:28] balle_, please find me and let me know how you do.. or dont.. [18:28] Jafet: I just googled that. Yeah, bummer. [18:29] Jafet: trying to do some forensics on a hacked box, wondering where a suspicious perl script came from. [18:29] I have problem with the wireless card in my toshiba laptop A210-183.... the card as it seems is RTL8187B [18:29] hischild: I assume you're guessing on that 20%. Most don't notice any significant improvements. [18:29] balle_, Offering the best info I have on something that old [18:29] I use ubuntu 7.10 [18:29] Striking7: i have Nvidia card (well, not card, it's a laptp, the dell e1505n which is the first ubuntu laptop from dell) and i can close all the compizones just not the compiz-real one [18:30] Jack_sparrow duely noted, and greatly appreciated [18:30] K-Rich, have you looked in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [18:30] anyone have any ideas about my problem its really bugging me [18:30] siakattackj have you tried ndiswrapper? [18:30] any time [18:30] Striking7: nope, what should i look for [18:30] melch yes [18:31] I also tried the kernel 24 [18:31] K-Rich, start by looking for lines that have "!!" toward the beginning [18:31] Those are "oh crud we have a problem" lines [18:31] After that, look for "EE" lines (error) [18:31] or "WW" lines (warning) [18:31] tritium, i'm talking about start up time in general ... when it drops from 60 to around 45 seconds .... [18:32] hey anyone know how to run windows games on ubuntu??? [18:32] jack_sparrow it is done getting all the packets, what now? updating in synaptics [18:32] !wine | damn3d [18:32] damn3d: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [18:32] Yes you can. Play Doom. [18:32] how can i install tcl/tk 8.5? [18:32] melch i also tried the kernel 2.6.24 [18:32] on a Asus Eee PC, I didn't shutdown properly (bats ran out). Now when I boot up I get the "running in low-gfx mode, cannot detect your video hardware" [18:32] ya i know about that but not all the games can be played with that [18:33] !cadega [18:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about cadega - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:33] balle_, apt-get upgrade [18:33] hischild: that's likely not a kernel issue [18:33] Striking7: nothing has !! in front, alot have II a few have == and ** as well [18:33] damn3d: unfortunately until people start writing games with opengl instead of direct3d, wine won't be able to play all games. [18:33] !cedega | damn3d [18:33] damn3d: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega [18:33] Executing "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic" gives me "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?". What doeas it mean? [18:33] siakattack are you running 64 bit or 32 bit [18:33] damn3d: depends on the game, but you might try to google Cadega [18:33] K-Rich: Anything with WW, EE, or NI? [18:34] melch 64 [18:34] ok then there s no way for me to play counter strike on linux??? warcraft works though [18:34] damn3d - at winehq.org there's a list of compatible games. [18:34] /dev/sda9 33641448 31932636 0 100% /home [18:34] You're trying to play _Windows_ games that _don't work_ in standard Win32 emulators, somehow. Don't see how that works. [18:34] !appdb [18:34] What the heck? [18:34] damn3d: I've successfully played CounterStrike:Source on Linux. [18:34] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [18:34] jack_sparrow: it is asking me if i am root [18:34] Yacci, it means you have synaptic open [18:34] It's acting like its run out of disk space even though I have 200mb left [18:35] oh, thx^^ [18:35] balle_, sudo apt-get upgrade sorry I get lazy [18:35] * ADHDYoshi was going to increase the partition later, but it seems like there's a black whole in his disk [18:35] is there a 64 bit xp driver for your card [18:35] What's going on and how do I fix it? [18:35] i think this is the problem because in forums other people with 32 bit and ndiswrapper had no problem [18:35] ADHDYoshi: Most likey "root" has 200MB left, normal users cannot use that space. [18:35] ahh [18:35] ADHDYoshi: (root reserved space) [18:35] It wasn't like that earlier [18:35] but k [18:35] Jack_sparrow and i get wiser \0/ [18:35] Uh [18:35] it shows the same thing in sudo [18:35] "is there a 64 bit xp driver for your card" that's a question?? [18:35] balle_, fyi, if a command asks for root use sudo.. if it is a gui / graphic program use gksudo [18:36] My system crashed recently [18:36] if there is no 64 bit xp driver for your card you are out of luck unless you want to use the 32 bit version of ubuntu [18:36] Heh, I trashed a Windows recovery partition by misspelling sdb as sda in dd. [18:36] K-Rich - what kind of crash is it? Like, the machine freezes up? Blank screen? Any details help [18:36] The same thing actually is going on with my other laptop... :/ [18:36] Jafet: Noooooouuuuuuuuuuu [18:36] DF says there's more space left but it's 100% [18:36] dd can be merciless. [18:36] jack_sparrow it apperas to be updating npw [18:36] Any clue on how to fix this? [18:36] I think learning unix will be an enriching experience for me. [18:37] Striking7: 3 font paths have EE and there is an EE where for second display device (which isn't plugged in) [18:37] balle_, wishing you luck [18:37] Jafet: enriching, but not always rosey... [18:37] i'm pretty new to the linux environment.... how do i go about knowing it better??? [18:37] jack_sparrow gr8 thx for the help mate 1 up from me! [18:37] hello everyone, how do i conver vmlinux image to vmlinuz image [18:37] Can anyone help me figure out why it says "Failed to initiate Hal" when I login. It wasn't doing this yesterday and now my dvds aren't working. "Unable to open 'dvd://'" I figure they must be related. [18:37] hello [18:37] damn3d: use it [18:37] when I copy files over the network from a windows machine is there a way I can keep the original time+date stamp? [18:37] err 3 fon't paths have WW [18:37] yogi_: gzip [18:38] K-Rich - that all sounds pretty benign. Could you tell me more about the crash? Does GDM come up before it crashes? Does the computer restart? Any detail helps [18:38] how can i through keys change in the multiple dekstops? [18:38] damn3d - www.ubuntuforums.org did wonders for me. [18:38] hello. I have some problems to install my ubuntu, could anyone help me? [18:38] tritium, thx [18:38] balle_, alt+ctrl+ left/right [18:38] balle_: ctrl-alt-arrow left or arrow right by default [18:38] !ask | seika [18:38] seika: 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. :-) [18:38] the default games have disappeared. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Heron. How can I recover them? [18:38] !hardy | Rudin_ [18:38] damn3d - that was my starting point. [18:38] Rudin_, /join #ubuntu+1 [18:38] Hmmm [18:38] Rudin_: 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 [18:38] Rudin_: what did you do to make them disapper? [18:38] I see what's going on [18:39] * ADHDYoshi will increase his partition size now he guesses :/ [18:39] tritium: nothing at all [18:39] k [18:39] Striking, well, it freezes with just the wallpaper showing, if i try to logout ... when i try to shut down or restart, the wallpaper shows for like a minute before it shows the shutdown bar almost to the end [18:39] Rudin_: there has to be a cause for the effect [18:39] tritium: When I do what you wrote I get to know that linux-headers-generic is already installed.But there's no "build"-Directory in the 2.6.24-11-Directory... [18:39] Thx [18:39] Yacci: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [18:39] 8.04 [18:39] Trixsey: simply, after having installed Beta 6, they disappeared [18:40] Yacci: this channel is for 7.10 or earlier. You know that... [18:40] melch i don't have a problem to use a 32 bit driver if it works [18:40] yeah [18:40] hello [18:40] #ubuntu+1 for hardy questions, Yacci [18:40] Rudin_: Please join #ubuntu+1 for hardy/8.04 issues [18:40] but i thought it weren't anything versionspecific [18:40] well, Im completly new to linux, and I tried to install Ubuntu, but my live-cd freezes when loading. I tried the alternate cd also, same problem: it freezes on a nice blue screen [18:40] Yacci: you too [18:40] Yacci: it is. [18:40] i am installing ubuntu and i have a problem [18:40] aha [18:40] thx [18:40] SliMM - what's up? [18:41] the partition manager is stuck at 46%, scanning disks.. [18:41] seika: how far do you get in both livecd and alternate? [18:41] u can't use a 32bit driver on 64bit siaka [18:41] seika : whats the pc ? [18:41] ok picy [18:42] Housefly7k: I can boot on them, but when I select the "run or install", the loading bar appears, and freezes after a few seconds [18:42] what should i do? :-( [18:42] I'm trying to run gsynaptics on gutsy to control my touchpad better, but I'm getting an error message when I try to run it [18:42] seika, did you check the cdrom for errors? [18:42] Im also trying to install ubuntu and im gettin a problemo when I start it the orange "loding bar" goes side to side and I click install ubuntu but then it spazz's out and the screen messes up and orange dots are everywhere and there anre like 3 half bars now and it freezes [18:42] and I have tried to install in safe graphics mode as well no luck :/ [18:42] JoCo: Try the Alternate CD. [18:43] whats the alternate cd? [18:43] GSynaptics couldn't initialize. [18:43] You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics [18:43] seika, does the pc hace enough ram memory? [18:43] JoCo: a text-mode installer [18:43] unimatrix9: the cd is working (i'm running the live one on another pc ... md5 correct) [18:43] JoCo, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails repeat and add noapic acpi=off before the -- [18:43] I just want to know where I stick it :) [18:43] !alternate | JoCo [18:43] JoCo: 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 [18:43] SliMM - what kind of disks do you have in the computer? Do you know if they're SATA, IDE, SATA2? Do you have any kind of RAID setup? [18:43] melch ooooo.... i hope the problem to be solved soon [18:43] tritium: ahh ok can i still partition it from text? [18:43] seika: and in the alternate cd at which screen does it freeze? [18:43] JoCo: yes, but try what Jack_Sparrow suggests first. [18:44] no raid, and do idea of my hdd [18:44] hi [18:44] I have the loading bars in red, then it goes to a blue screen, and freezes [18:44] melch although thanks a lot for helping me [18:44] there is no text on the screen ... just plain blue [18:44] wait an update - after about 5 mins of sitting here "frozen" the screen is a tan color and I can see a mouse [18:44] I get an error every time I load any program in Ubuntu [18:44] Striking7: i remember it had some errors about a year ago [18:44] so am I good to go [18:44] nvm [18:44] siaka you'll need to wait for ndiswrapper to support vista drivers [18:44] Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": libatk-bridge.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [18:45] SliMM - the hard drive had some errors? Like bad sectors? [18:45] * Striking7 hopes not [18:45] every single time [18:45] its working for some reason [18:45] so it takes time for the program to load [18:45] Striking7: yes [18:45] What do I do? [18:45] sluimers, How are you tring to install programs [18:45] gsynaptics is giving me this error: GSynaptics couldn't initialize. [18:45] You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics [18:45] melch ok.. i hope it won't take too long because i need the wireless [18:45] seika , whats the type pc and brand? [18:45] ??, I start the program [18:45] not install [18:46] sluimers, apt-get aptitude synaptic ? [18:46] SliMM - if it has bad sectors you may need to dance around them, which would be a really strange guessing game [18:46] Striking7: any ideas? [18:46] SliMM - you may be better off getting a new hard drive :-\ [18:46] K-Rich, I'm sorry, I didn't see you type anything [18:46] sluimers, ok.. [18:46] unimatrix9: it's a Pentium Dual Core E2180 on a Abit Fatal1ty FPIN9 SLI mainboard [18:46] K-Rich - I'll scroll up and try to find it. [18:46] Wether it's nautilus, firefox, mplayer [18:46] ok [18:46] Striking7: i'll stick to this one for now, can i install ubuntu on it? [18:46] Okay, aptitude doesn't [18:47] synaptic does [18:47] vbxvb [18:47] Striking7: GParted is also scanning devices [18:47] sluimers, running nautilus from cli.. do you see the error? [18:47] anything that requires a window I guess [18:47] maybe it's my ipod? [18:47] the error is always: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": libatk-bridge.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [18:48] SliMM - could be. Try unplugging it and trying again [18:48] SliMM - the more things we can eliminate as possible problems, the better, right? [18:48] K-Rich - sounds like it could be an issue with GDM, not X [18:48] Gmmmm.... [18:48] I also get an error when logging in, something about at-spi [18:48] Hmmmm.... [18:48] should i eject the ubuntu disk? [18:48] not being able to find it [18:49] I've tried reinstalling libatspi but to no avail [18:50] sluimers, I dont know, but have you modified your sources, done much as root user run gui programs with sudo [18:50] seika , there are several way's you could go about trouble shooting it, but it depends on what you want, and how bad you want it, and how much you know about the inside of your pc.. [18:50] Jack_Sparrow , hmmmmmm [18:50] Striking7: still not working; i mean it's not "stuck", it's obviously scanning, but i see no results; how long should i wait? [18:50] Jack_Sparrow , maybe, I can't remember anymore what I did [18:50] SliMM - you want to leave the ubuntu disk in there. [18:50] Can i use gparted when using a Ubuntu Live CD? [18:51] Jack_Sparrow , it was a week ago before I notices it slows things down [18:51] SliMM - try restarting the installation process. [18:51] UndertakerX2, yes [18:51] notices = noticed [18:51] unimatrix9: I never used linux, so I don't know anything about it. But I really want to get rid of windows XP too XD [18:51] sluimers, the more you can tell us the more we can help you [18:51] Can i use gparted to actually resize an NFTS drive off a Live CD?* [18:51] hello friends [18:51] Striking7: GParted is not working right now [18:51] hiii a new I new ubuntu user [18:51] Jack_Sparrow , I'll check out the other error [18:51] unimatrix9: So if there is anything I can try to have ubuntu working ... i'm ready to try [18:52] sluimers, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit [18:52] K-Rich - check out /var/log/gdm/* [18:52] Striking7: i.e. it's stuck [18:52] Striking7: i don;t see any error in the gdm log files [18:52] SliMM - I mean, restart the puter. [18:52] (heh funny i was just doing that :) ) [18:52] hi, when i first installed ubuntu i could see my windows partitions in the desktop, but i dont know why i cant now, i turned off the computer yesterday and started it today and theres no windows partitions mounted. what can i do? === recon_etc is now known as recon [18:52] seika , did you try noapic , at boot with ubuntu? [18:52] Striking7: puter? [18:52] Jack_Sparrow , okay [18:52] sluimers, Provide the pastebin link [18:52] Jack_Sparrow, Can i use gparted to actually resize an NFTS drive off a Live CD? [18:53] http://paste.stgraber.org/1509 [18:53] i just installed ubuntu, after my gentoo, but i don't see the really cool ubuntu OS loading progress bar thing, just a black screen when i boot...any thoughts? [18:53] ghettokernel: see if it's in places/computer [18:53] unimatrix9: i tried noapic irqpoll noirqdebug and nolapic (just following advise from someone) [18:53] ghettokernel: it may not have an icon on the desktop [18:53] how can i see what version of ubuntu i'm running? [18:53] UndertakerX2, defrag.. twice.. and I prefer the stand alone version of gparted for that level of work [18:53] !gparted [18:53] seika , i see [18:53] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [18:53] balle_, lsb_release -a [18:54] seika , whats the video card thats on the system? [18:54] Hello the chan [18:54] unimatrix9: they also made me boot on SystemRescueCD 1.0.0 to see if it could boot on it [18:54] Lectus: im using xfce [18:54] I've setup a wifi connection from my Ubuntu Gutsy laptop to my D-link Wifi access point. From the AP, I see the laptop mac adress connected but I can't ping anything from the laptop, I suggest a conflit with the eth0 card. I guess packets want to go out with the unpluged eth0 card, is there a way to investigatee ? [18:54] SliMM - sorry, computer. Slang :-) [18:54] the card is an XFX GeForce 8500 GT [18:54] Jack_Sparrow , and? [18:55] Jack_Sparrow it says 5.10..... [18:55] sluimers, that command should have returned a link to a pastebin.. which is what I wanted to see [18:55] where the nice ladies [18:55] Jack_sparrow though my cd says 6.06... [18:55] ghettokernel: maybe you should ask at #xubuntu. [18:55] Striking7: i must say i couldn't get into the bios and i started the live cd with the help of wubi [18:55] Jack_Sparrow, http://paste.stgraber.org/150 [18:55] Jack_upgrade have i de-graded it? [18:55] Jack_Sparrow, must i burn and boot to the live cd? [18:55] Jack_Sparrow, you mean that one? [18:55] beurself, define nice [18:56] UndertakerX2, yes sluimers yes [18:56] hi [18:56] i just installed ubuntu, but i don't see the really cool ubuntu OS loading progress bar thing, just a black screen when i boot...(it was there during the liveCD boot, but not now after install)....any thoughts? [18:56] can we ask about emulators around here? or should i go some place else? [18:56] hey there, has anyone tried compiling epiphany 2.20? [18:56] jack_sparow, thanks [18:56] Striking7: i see no errors there :/ [18:56] SliMM - I have no experience with wubi, but I know what it is. [18:56] how do i update a program to the latest version? [18:56] lol [18:56] sluimers, please dont feed the trollls [18:56] Striking7: i don't know what it is, but it worked [18:56] @Bo: Did you install it in Synaptic or Add/Remove programs? [18:56] Jack_Sparrow, okay [18:56] K-Rich - try this: log out of X, then hit "ctrl+alt+f2", log in to the terminal, and use top or ps or the like to investigate what X is doing [18:56] firefeather: yup [18:57] seika , i am looking around to see if i can find simular problems with your kind of hardware [18:57] Alright, I'm having trouble ugprading "guidance-backends" for mythtv, getting error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59517/ [18:57] sluimers, What distro or release are you using.. not ubuntu.. [18:57] OMG i have 5.10!? [18:57] DAMN [18:57] Bo^Dick: you can search the program in synaptic and it will offer an option to update if available [18:57] SliMM - haha. So are you able to boot from the live CD? [18:57] thanks a lot unimatrix9 [18:57] Jack_Sparrow, you mean gutsy? [18:57] Striking7: okay wish me luck [18:57] k [18:57] Lectus: really [18:57] @Bo: Update manager notifies you of updates but if you've downloaded a .deb file you trust, you can upgrade it by installing that .deb file. [18:58] saladdin19: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen [18:58] sluimers, that file was not from gutsy... [18:58] Jack_Sparrow, what do you mean not ubuntu, I use gutsy gibbon [18:58] firefeather: ok, the .deb method is the most attractive for me [18:58] firefeather: thanks [18:58] Jack_Sparrow, ??? how come? [18:58] seika , what version of ubuntu did you try? [18:58] sluimers, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit is that what you did? [18:58] i just installed ubuntu, but i don't see the really cool ubuntu OS loading progress bar thing, just a black screen when i boot...(it was there during the liveCD boot, but not now after install)....any thoughts? please [18:59] yes [18:59] @Bo: No problem. What specifically are you wanting to upgrade? I might be able to give you a specific tip about it. [18:59] unimatrix9: the 7.10, both live and alternate cds [18:59] K-Rich: best of :-) [18:59] Jack_Sparrow, yes [18:59] anyone have any idea how susspend to ram works [18:59] Jack_Sparrow, http://paste.stgraber.org/150 is the link you gave.. or did you miss a couple of numbers at the end [18:59] Jack_Sparrow, and I got http://paste.stgraber.org/1509 [18:59] K-Rich - you may want to play with the "lsof" command. It lists files that are open and which processes are opening them. [19:00] Oops. [19:00] too late :- [19:00] \ [19:00] Striking7: i guess so [19:00] one sec [19:00] seika : please give 8.04 a try, if that fails too, then give knoppix a testdrive [19:00] Jack_Sparrow, ah, sorry, I missed a 9 [19:00] ok unimatrix9 , i'll try the 8.04. But what is knoppix? [19:00] whenever I put a cd in the computer i get an error message "Cannot eject volume" "You are not privileged to eject this volume" [19:01] seika : i read here positive results with your motherboard [19:01] Pressing okay, the message goes away and the cd works [19:01] http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3441556&CatId=2014 [19:01] saladdin19: many people have problems with the splash screen.. some have nvidia cards.. some use 64-bit ubuntu.. === reconnect is now known as recon [19:01] Slart, i am running the 64bit, with ati radeon 200m [19:01] SliMM - ok, reboot your computer from the live CD, and make sure the iPod is unplugged. [19:01] hi, I have a question about networking [19:01] sluimers, Mixing edgy feisty and unsupported repos and you say you are running gutsy ? something isnt right [19:02] Slart, is it no possible to have the splash run with 64? [19:02] unimatrix9: that mainboard on your link isn't the one i use [19:02] saladdin19: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen [19:02] SliMM - if your hard disk has bad sectors you may not be able to install, but you can always try I guess. [19:02] seika : knoppix is an debian livecd linux variant, its just to see if that works [19:02] http://www.knoppix.org/ [19:02] Jack_Sparrow, I upgraded from edgy to feisty to gutsy [19:02] sometimes I see an ifconfig that produces "eth0.bak" - what is this connection ? [19:02] saladdin19: well.. let's blame it on the 64-bit os then.. =).. I haven't been able to use the splash screen since I upgraded to gutsy.. I don't miss it that much [19:02] sluimers, lsb-release -a shows what [19:02] hey my webcam works in cheese although camorama does not detect it nor does camera monitor... both those apps are checking /dev/video0 .. how do I find out what my cam is using so I can correct this [19:03] what is "eth0.bak" [19:03] for grub, in menu.lst, what is the difference between the string quiet on the kernel line and the string quiet on the line by itself? [19:03] lsb_release -a [19:03] where is the hosts file? [19:03] seika : other wise , i would not have a clue , google around on your motherboard issue and see if you can find some more insights... [19:03] good luck [19:03] Jack_Sparrow, I don't have lsb-release [19:03] Slart, lol, yea i guess ur right, i wasn't able to get it to work in 64bit gentoo either, but the link will hopefully fix the reall sllloooowwww boot [19:03] recon: /etc/hosts [19:03] what is "eth0.bak" [19:03] Odd-rationale: k, thanks. [19:03] Slart, thanks for the link bro [19:03] typo.. sorry [19:03] tritium: i couldn't get any help with my problem on ubuntu+1. Do you know other ways or chats where i can get the solution? [19:04] asymptote: A backup of eth0 [19:04] oh yeah thanks for the rdesktop tips Jack_Sparrow you're a gent.. :) [19:04] saladdin19: not my link.. thank prince_jammys =) [19:04] Yacci, +1 is your best bet with alpha software [19:04] unimatrix9: i already googled around. There is even a member on the ubuntu forum with this mainboard in his signature XD [19:04] Jack_Sparrow, at least, it doesn't work [19:04] Bigg400, glad to help [19:04] Odd-rationale, what prompts ubuntu to make this file? [19:04] :D [19:04] Odd-rationale, is it something that I do ? [19:04] asymptote: Usually upgrages.. [19:04] sluimers, lsb_release -a does not work [19:04] asymptote: Likely it's an entry in your /etc/network/interfaces file that didn't get commented out properly [19:04] Jack_Sparrow No LSB modules are available. [19:04] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [19:04] Description: Ubuntu 7.10 [19:04] Release: 7.10 [19:04] Codename: gutsy [19:04] sluimers: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:05] lunaphyte_: I think grub just puts all those lines together in the end anyway.. but I'm not sure.. there might be some deeper meaning to it [19:05] FloodBotl, okay [19:05] Odd-rationale, sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't. Would this behaviour worry you ? [19:05] sluimers, ok.. better... [19:05] genii, sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't. Would this behaviour worry you ? [19:05] asymptote: nope. [19:05] asymptote: No [19:05] does anyone have an opinion regarding the superior video streaming service (like ustream.tv)? [19:05] Odd-rationale, thank you both [19:05] genii, thank you both [19:05] I am getting "Bus error" when trying to use dpkg-reconfigure [19:06] sluimers, I still dont have an answer for you... and I need lunch maybe then I will have an idea [19:06] No other output and nothing that I've noticed in the logs [19:06] Has anyone here compiled UrbanTerror 4.1 and gotten it to install? [19:06] how can remove jackd 0.103 without removing all sound apps ? [19:06] Jack_Sparrow , okay, I'll be waiting [19:07] Has anyone here compiled UrbanTerror 4.1 and gotten it to install? [19:07] * N3bunel saluta [19:07] Jack_Sparrow , I remember doing something with at-spi, I think it's somehow related to this error.. I'll go check the at-spi error [19:07] asymptote: we read it the first time.. don't repeat more often that about 5 minutes or so.. [19:07] Jack_Sparrow , rebooting for the error, brb [19:08] Slart, can you please stop being mean to me [19:08] asymptote: I'll try.. can't promise anything though =) [19:08] Slart, I'm trying to get help so I can successfully use Ubuntu - surely you encourage users of this operating system [19:08] Jack_Sparrow: there i can not get a help for my problem. Maybe in a year the situation has changed and i can use my atheros-card. Maybe i would try to install an older or a newer version of the kernel. Thank you for your help. [19:08] asymptote, then don't try and ask us for support on things we don't support =) [19:08] How to add something to the classpath? [19:08] asymptote: repeating your question every 60 secs doesn't help you.. people will just get annoyed and go out of their way not to help you.. [19:09] Wow I never realized how long Wine takes to compile. [19:09] Slart, there is no way you can speak for others [19:09] Slart, please don't make assumptions about others unless you can see into the minds and thoughts of each and every user [19:09] revenge, about 20 years for a good wine :) [19:10] asymptote: sigh... go ahead.. ignore me [19:10] Seveas, people are constantly coming and going - don't tell me who can and cannot support something [19:10] I had to install about 9 Billion Different Packages just to get all the features I wanted [19:10] can I run ubuntu just off cd [19:10] Now it is like, Compiling: Estimated Time: FOREVER [19:10] * revenge laughs === hjertnes_ is now known as hjertnes [19:10] asymptote, dude, you really don't want people to help you I guess :) [19:10] Jack_Sparrow, the error when I login -> Assistive technology support has been requested for this session, but the accessibility registry was not found. Please ensure that the AT-SPI package is installed. Your session has been started without assistive technology support. [19:10] yes Reaper.

[19:11] hey guys are there any modified ubuntu distros which have all the necessary packages like vlc,etc [19:11] How does Ubuntu compile so slow on such a Top End Machine. [19:11] asymptote: What you're saying is true, but it's general etiquette to wait longer than that. You couldn't have known that, but what you were doing is generally considered rude. [19:12] asymptote has left the building... [19:12] asymptote: at least if you don't get any help here :) [19:12] Well never mind then. [19:12] revenge, wine is a large app [19:12] I'm helping a friend put audio files on is Motorola i880 cell phone. I can read and write to the card with no problems, once Dapper sees that card. The problem is, it takes hours for Dapper to find the card in my reader. It is a standard Sandisk SD 256m card, Ideas? [19:12] Lol I know Seveas, but sometimes I am just like. WTF [19:12] * revenge Throws computer on the ground and sledges it. [19:12] anyone is connected actually with a encrypted WPA2 wifi ? I'm trying that since 4 days without any result :-/ [19:12] revenge, have you ever tried compiling openoffice.org? [19:12] seika : i was away for a few minutes , you are still around? [19:12] shishirm1: there is something called ultimate ubuntu.. I have only heard of it though.. can't recommend it or anything.. I think you can build your own image with all your packages if you want.. search for aptoncd [19:13] LMJ, ubuntu 7.10? [19:13] yes Seveas [19:13] 64b [19:13] Have you ever tried compiling Samba [19:13] yes unimatrix9 [19:13] BWUAH HA HA HA [19:13] revenge, often :) [19:13] LMJ, broadcom card? [19:13] Damn.

[19:14] LMJ: my thing says: Infrastructure Mode, Freq 2.437 MHz, Rate 62 Mb/s, Strength 96%, Encrypted (WPA WPA2) [19:14] That revelation is: Sabayon is roadkill compared to Ubuntu [19:14] !info sabayon [19:14] @revenge how so? [19:14] revenge: lol [19:14] sabayon (source: sabayon): system administration tool to manage GNOME desktop settings. In component main, is optional. Version 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 151 kB, installed size 2784 kB [19:14] no, I used to make it works on no protected Wifi connection [19:14] seika, the other thing you could try, if you are an computer expert, is to disconnect all of the hardware from the motherboard and try an bare minimum setup, if you know what i mean [19:14] atheros card irrc [19:15] Silly ubotu, that's not what he meant.... [19:15] Striking7, ubotu knows ;) [19:15] Well the Sheer instability of Sabayon is staggering. The incompatibility with Hardware is astounding, Portage needs to just be buried and the overall scheme of Sabayon. I would give a -5 [19:15] seika : and just use motherboard, cdrom drive and see if it boots video card too afcause [19:15] hello claspath? [19:15] salu quelqun peut m'aider a me rendre sur le forum du C++ [19:16] seika : dont do it if you dont know hardware that good [19:16] !fr | Zina [19:16] Zina: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

[19:16] lol alright striking. [19:16] nox-Hand, it's the driver from nvidia.com [19:16] I tried Kubuntu, KDE really isn't that big of a show stopper. [19:17] I had a KDE+Compiz+Emerald+AWM... still wasn't thrilled. [19:17] Seveas: Indeed, but does that driver classify as XGL, or is it something different it uses? [19:17] anyone know how to fix open office fonts? they all look blurry/faded [19:17] Plus Gentoo seems to really hate WINE [19:17] nox-Hand, XGL isn't a driver [19:17] and I mean !!!HATE!!! [19:17] revenge: compiz+awn works better with gnome [19:17] Who here runs secondlife on linux, and actually has it working === nerxgas_ is now known as nerxgas [19:17] revenge, this is a support channel, for offtopic chatter, please join #ubuntu-offtopic [19:18] ? [19:18] Righty O, But I can help. ^_^ [19:18] l815: all the fonts? or just some?.. you can play with the antialias settings in .. system, preferences, appearance I think [19:18] @l815: Is it only in open office that it looks that way? [19:18] seika : you also treid pci=noacpi ? [19:18] xb3rt: there is a .deb package: http://getdeb.net/app/Second+Life [19:18] revenge, that's great :) [19:18] @l815: Cause if it's not then I would have said what Slart said ;) [19:18] Odd-rationale: how well does it work [19:19] unimatrix9: no, not this one. on another board they are sugesting me to disable the acpi in my BIOS [19:19] firefeather, Slart, only Open Office, and when I try and modify the font settings, it doesn't change in OO [19:19] xb3rt: Don't know. Never tried it. But should work fine. You might to remove your current one that is not working. [19:19] l815: all the fonts? try deja vu [19:19] that one is pretty decent here [19:19] if .xsession-errors show xgl not loaded but xorg.0.log shows xgl loading fine.. where am i going wrong? [19:20] Slart, for system fonts? [19:20] seika , yes if you know how to work with bios, first give the pci=noacpi a try [19:20] l815: no.. just in open office [19:20] unimatrix9: i'm in the bios ... but can't find this ACPI [19:20] Striking7: ok, so here are the boot-time errors: "[ %d.%ld] Buffer I/O error on device fd 0, logical block 0" [19:21] i have my /home directory on a separate partition.. how do i use the live cd to reinstall & use my existing /home folder [19:21] %d and %ld being some ugly numbers [19:21] fd 0... isn't that a floppy drive? [19:21] * Striking7 doesn't actually know [19:21] yes [19:21] it is [19:21] i do believe fd0 is floppy [19:21] fd0 was a floppy on the amiga.. =) [19:22] Striking7, yes [19:22] it may be, but i have no floppy [19:22] Ah. Thanks [19:22] Hrm. [19:22] in the floppy drive [19:22] cool, huh? [19:22] seika : you can look at that later , first test with the noapci [19:22] I need some help with sound. I have a Gateway desktop that is running U7.10, the sound card was recognized during install, it now sounds like any noise is coming through a broken speaker, lots of noise. [19:22] SliMM - Ok. Well for whatever reason it's acting up. Unless you use it, try powering down the computer and just disconnecting the floppy for now. [19:22] * N3bunel brb [19:22] Nobody really uses those anymore anyways, right? :-) [19:23] Slart: just rebooted, Holy **** what a difference, thanks man [19:23] i would install a 5" floppy drive if i could [19:23] anyone know if getting a windows moblie phone to share an internet connection is possible [19:23] unimatrix9: so i just try to start with the pci=noacpi option? [19:23] ha.. 5" [19:23] Ohkay.. I have now learned that "Use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" on a 2.2TB Array is... time consuming *lol* I think i will rethink that. [19:23] do they even make those anymore [19:23] but can't i just check if that really is the floppy drive? [19:23] saladdin19: huh? ah.. the splash thingy.. [19:23] yes [19:23] saladdin19: what did you do? [19:23] When you boot from the installation CD, it gives you a boot menu with 6 options: "Start or install Ubuntu", "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode", "Install with driver update CD", ... [19:23] Highlight the fist option, "Start or install Ubuntu" and then press F6. A text must appear in the screen that says "Boot Options: casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --" [19:23] karllenz_: yes tis possible [19:24] because i've never opened my computer [19:24] i have my /home directory on a separate partition.. how do i use the live cd to reinstall & use my existing /home folder [19:24] Slart, yea, but my boot time was in the minutes, now its down to seconds [19:24] saladdin19: any resource you can point me in the direction in? [19:24] and i'd rather not [19:24] unimatrix9: so i just put this option after the two -- ? [19:24] join /#latex [19:24] bieb: for windows mobile or splash thingy [19:24] splash thing [19:25] unimatrix9: can i do it two with the alternate cd? (my live cd is in another pc XD) [19:25] sfears, the live cd's gparted will see that partition - just select it and then mount it as /home [19:25] steven_: /join #latex [19:25] bieb: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen [19:25] anyone want to help me with sleep [19:25] alright.. i just don't want to overwrite it ere4si [19:25] and suspend [19:25] bieb: worked miracles [19:25] now if i could only figure it out for my gentoo [19:25] does it turn the splash screen off? [19:25] SliMM - if you can get into your bios you could try disabling it from there. [19:26] on the contrary, it turns it on [19:26] seika : here is an website so you can get some info on it all https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [19:26] sfears, it won't - unless you force it to be formatted [19:26] ok [19:26] hmm [19:26] Striking7: well, could i install some new bios or smth like that? [19:26] karllenz_: do you have the latest version of windows mobile? [19:26] seika : bookmark it so you can read it when needed [19:26] bieb: you need it off or on? or rather, are u experiencing slow boot? [19:27] thanks! [19:27] Hey guys anyone have some experience with wine? I've already got it up and running but my keyboard isn't working [19:27] SliMM - I would not recommend installing a new BIOS - if something goes wrong your motherboard is a paperweight. [19:27] I enabled gutsy-backports in software sources now it wants to update a lot of packages. Should I do this? will it break something? [19:27] not slow boot.. just wondered what I missed, I came in in the middle of your convo :D [19:27] SliMM - much more dangerous than opening your computer up [19:27] Striking7: i can't get into my BIOS for some reason :)) [19:27] woo! [19:27] SliMM - what does it do? [19:27] seika : hope you get it working, its a hard nut to crack [19:28] :P [19:28] Nearly got a heart attack running gparted but it works fine now ^^ [19:28] Hey guys anyone have some experience with wine? I've already got it up and running but my keyboard isn't working [19:28] karllenz_: http://samiux.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/bluetooth-networking-with-windows-mobile-5-under-ubuntu-704/ though this is for version 5, still should work [19:28] some error and then a DHCP thingie that does not work and waits for escape [19:28] seika , i have to go now, good luck [19:28] Does xgl have to be enabled to run compiz? [19:28] thanks for your help unimatrix9 [19:29] np [19:29] rm: no [19:29] aiglx? [19:29] hello, i'm havin sound issues with hardy [19:29] rm: nopr [19:29] amon__: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [19:29] nope* [19:29] why's my keypad not working? the numlock key's on, but when i click '9' for example, the mouse moves up-right!! [19:30] thanks [19:30] @GeorgeA: Looks like you've got mouse keys on [19:30] firefeather, how do i turn that off? [19:30] saladdin19: thank you , you have been very helpful [19:30] GeorgeA: You can turn it off in accessibility options [19:30] karllenz_: pass it forward my friend, hopefully you can get it to work [19:30] sure [19:30] will do [19:30] firefeather, it's not enabled (accessibility options) [19:31] Is it bad to install gutsy-backports [19:31] GeorgeA: Dang...I'm not on my linux box right now. What does the error box say? [19:31] firefeather, mmm i enabled it, and disabled mouse keys, and it worked.. thanks a lot :) [19:31] GeorgeA: Oh, good. No problem! :) [19:31] how can I enable the window burning when I close a window? [19:32] I can't figure out how the annotate plugin settings work [19:32] firefeather, it's quite weird, it's grayed out... but it's like enabled by default.. btw, it usually changes randomly alone.. I donno why [19:32] nandasunu: You can do it under the Compiz Settings Manager under "Animations" [19:32] firefeather, usually it works normally, then i stop using pc, and come back, and my numpad messes up! [19:32] GeorgeA: You might check to see if it has a shortcut key associated. That's odd [19:33] Has anyone set up NIS on Ubuntu before? I'm trying to transfer the configuration from a Fedora 4 box and don't really know how it works. [19:33] firefeather: I\ve tried adding the burn effect there and it doesn't do anything [19:33] firefeather, in the keyboard shortcuts? [19:33] is there a specific way to get it working? [19:33] nandasunu: Which list did you add it to? [19:33] GeorgeA: I don't think so, I think it's there in accessibility. [19:33] nandasunu, you have to hold down a button/key for it [19:33] close [19:34] I just installing Win Home Server and I was trying to add a 500GB hd that was full of tv shows and mp3 but what happend was it made it into "not quite sure..like one big drive" and all the files on the 500GB drive were gone. So I shut it down (swar off MS for ever) loaded my ubuntu disk and here I am. Is there anything I can do to get the files back.I know the hd was not reformated because it only took 2s for this to all happen [19:34] GeorgeA: But go ahead and try keyboard shortcuts menu because I think I saw some extra accessibility options there [19:34] firefeather, I am checking. [19:34] firefeather, nothing about shortcuts in accessibility. [19:35] nandasunu: Could it be that you have it in the list of random animations rather than associating a window with it? (Sorry if I'm not being helpful) [19:35] nandasunu: look in ccsm, animations, goto the minimize tab and make sure "burn" is at the top [19:35] nandasunu: it must be at the top of the list in there [19:35] GeorgeA: Try the Keyboard Shortcuts menu then (or was that what you were just checking)? [19:35] guys anyone knows of any rar password crack tools? I'm slowly starting to #&#$#%....!!! [19:35] firefeather, yeah that's what i was checking.. couldn't find anything there either... [19:36] artenius, its at the top, but nothing [19:36] do I need to set some window settings? [19:36] what does it say for window type? [19:36] the other effects have a bunch of stuff under "window match" [19:36] when i try to enable compiz i get xgl is not present.. in my xorg logs i see xgl module being successfully loaded.. here is my xorg log and .xsession-error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59520/ === zippytech_ is now known as zippytech [19:36] I am a new Ubuntu user and I am having problems ejecting a CD. I have pressed the eject button on the drive, I have right-clicked the cd-rom desktop item and chosen "eject", I have run the "eject" command, all to no avail. any help? [19:36] (I remember this being a lot easier with beryl) [19:36] testic, are you running the live cd? [19:36] GeorgeA: I'm not sure then. If I were in your situation, unless nobody else knows here, the forums might yield some info. [19:36] reboot then eject [19:37] testic: try sudo eject [19:37] that too [19:37] nandasunu: I meant window match yes, it should have the same entries as the others [19:37] firefeather, you put me on the right track, am currently googling the accessibility issue :) [19:37] hischild, no, this is a normal bootup. the CD that is in is one I was using in Windows about 10 minutes ago [19:37] testic: Only do sudo eject if you're not on the live CD [19:37] ok, I'll try copying the settings [19:37] GeorgeA: Thanks. I'm glad I can help [19:37] should gparted output the errors to stdout / stderr? [19:37] ScorpKing, sudo eject does nothing [19:37] testic: is there something that is keeping the Cd mounted? ie, file explorer [19:37] testic: any error messages? [19:38] bieb, I have no idea. the first thing I wanted to do after bootup was to eject the cd [19:38] might need to > to.txt ? [19:38] ScorpKing, no error messages at all [19:38] any rar password recovery tools for linux? [19:38] firefeather, at first i found a solution that said i need to use gconf-editor and check some keyboard issues and numlock stuff there, but i think that worked by chance :) because it didn't always work. This fixed it, now I just need to find the source. :) [19:38] test [19:38] artenius: Its working now :), I just copied the window match stuff from the other effects [19:38] thanks [19:38] testic: are there any windows currently open on your system? [19:38] archman: for dos, under dosemu [19:38] nandasunu: good :) you're welcome. I had problems with that too at first [19:38] wpk: what's the program name? [19:39] whats the name of the small amarok player ? minirock/ [19:39] ? [19:39] bieb, I have a few windows open, would you like me to list them? [19:39] testic: weird.. it might be faster to just reboot and take out the cd then, but that won't show you why it's not ejecting. [19:39] archman: use google [19:39] GeorgeA: Just a thought; do you plug in or unplug any hardware (especially a USB keyboard) in between times it happens? [19:39] the old dialogue used to be much simpler [19:39] i did [19:39] yeah [19:39] * SliMM is going to eat smth and will be right back [19:39] SliMM: who is smth [19:39] firefeather, nope, it's mostly a server, and I haven't touched it in like 2 weeks :) [19:39] nandasunu: if you have any other problems in compiz, try asking in #compiz-fusion | lots of people there to help [19:39] ScorpKing, this is true, however I am currently downloading a big Ubuntu update and I was hoping to get some stuff done while I wait :) [19:39] wpk: dos emulation??? [19:39] bieb: smth ~= something [19:39] cool for the compiz! [19:40] testic: run dmesg | tail and see if there's any errors in there [19:40] SliMM: ok :) [19:40] GeorgeA: That's odd. Let me know if you find anything then. [19:40] artenius, I will, thanks [19:40] firefeather, sure thing! [19:40] bieb, windows currently open: firefox, Ubuntu upgrade window, a terminal, and this chat window (gaim) [19:40] hello [19:40] in the terminal type pwd [19:40] wpk: how do i break rar password with that? [19:41] testic: type mount and see where it's mounted [19:41] ScorpKing, dmesg shows a few errors that may have something to do with it, would you like me to paste them? [19:41] testic: the run sudo umount /media/mountpoint and that should give you more feedback. [19:42] testic: sure - pastebin [19:42] -the* [19:42] * N3bunel back [19:43] ScorpKing: http://pastebin.com/d407d05c2 [19:43] wpk: !? [19:43] how do i create an encrypted partition? [19:43] I do not believe the CD is actually mounted; "mount | grep cd" returns nothing [19:43] firefeather, am starting to think maybe 'ctrl' key being pressed a lot, because i usually vnc to this pc, and i use google desktop, so i use ctrl a lot, it could be if i hold ctrl a lot it starts it. [19:43] testic: do you only have one hard drive? [19:43] archman: use dos program for password cracking under dosemu [19:44] ScorpKing, there are 2 hard drives, though I am not sure if the second is mounted [19:44] firefeather, or something related to that! [19:44] GeorgeA: That might do it, esp. if you push control and decide against it, thus pushing "Ctrl" a lot without anything else before or after. [19:44] testic: just mount [19:44] firefeather, yeah most likely.. at least now i know how to deactivate it :) [19:44] testic: if you pipe it to grep you might miss it [19:45] ScorpKing, well I tried just mount, and it doesnt show anything that looks like a cd drive [19:45] GeorgeA: Sounds good. Let me know if you have any more questions about it. [19:45] who makes the .deb packages of the gnome-panel package? [19:45] firefeather, Thank you for your cooperation :) [19:45] testic: those errors from your pastebin is cdrom errors afaik [19:46] GeorgeA: No problem :) [19:46] wxPython: aptitude show and see who is the maintainer [19:46] ScorpKing i'm on Windows ATM [19:46] heh, ok [19:46] hi, I need libqt2 and some related dev packets, but I can't find them in the ubuntu repos - can I use the debian repos, too? [19:47] ScorpKing: Here is the output from mount, if its of any use: http://pastebin.com/dc45004b [19:47] ScorpKing i am not able to boot to Linux ATM so please help me out here [19:47] !debian | benpicco [19:47] benpicco: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [19:47] benpicco, not a good idea... what are you trying to install in the first place [19:47] I have another issue, I have Ubuntu on my laptop, and the wireless keeps on messing up, so it connects to my router (wifi), then after a certain period, it disconnects and the only way to reconnect is to reboot! (happened to me in uni as well) at first it was bad drivers but then I updated it, and got better, but now it's back to being weird.. anyone know why? (I have an HP 9690) [19:48] ScorpKing please do aptitude show gnome-panel and please tell me the output [19:48] testic: yeah it's not mounted and must be hdb then. i'm not sure if eject has a force option. seems like you will have to wait until you reboot [19:48] wxPython: ok one sec [19:48] Jack_Sparrow: I need the qt2 libraries an the header files to get an old programm compiled and running [19:48] wxPython: Maintainer: Ubuntu Desktop Team [19:48] ScorpKing, well OK then, I have about 20 minutes to wait for this upgrade, I will get the CD out then, thanks anyway [19:49] testic: np [19:49] ScorpKing thanks [19:49] wxPython: yw [19:49] benpicco, chasing dependencies on progrmas you compile yourself is a never ending battle.. Hope you have a backup if you try debian repos [19:50] any lady can speak english pls [19:50] * ScorpKing remebers the days before he had internet when he had to chased dependencies.. not nice [19:51] any experience with using the debian repos so far?

The system hasnt been touched since... [19:52] Jack_Sparrow: what happened? [19:53] chazco: yes. google for it [19:53] benpicco, mismatched versions and just broke things in general.. it is strongly not advised.

[19:54] if I get 6.06LTS Desktop will that allow me to install the server only or will I have to download another ISO?

[20:20] okay well.. any suggestions on how to get the supported drivers ? === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAL85 === NDPMB is now known as NDPMacBook [20:20] I did not find in the documentation how to do it, nor in google [20:21] sluimers, With the odd problems you seem to have would you consider resetting gnome back to defaults? [20:22] xphisher, Usually you just need to enable restricted drivers from the menu.. You get into problems when you use things like envy.. although they are working hard to improve it.. it still breaks many systems [20:22] Jack_Sparrow, A) how do I do that? B) without losing all those precious files I have? [20:22] LMJ: Still there? === r00t_ is now known as DaemonLee [20:22] Striking7: i have ~700 items in /dev [20:22] files and programs [20:23] sluimers, not losing your files or installed program.. just launchers and things on your menuus etc [20:23] Striking7: maybe that is the problem [20:23] okay... errr... what's the best way to do it and how can I get everything back to normal the quickest way? [20:23] sluimers, See if this is something you might want to try http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [20:24] Jack_Sparrow, thanks [20:24] sluimers, read that and we can talk [20:26] Jack_Sparrow, okay so I remove those and log back in... [20:26] laura: move the king to the final position ? [20:27] sluimers, yes [20:27] Is there a way I can use color themes (like emerald) to set all of my applications to have a dark background and lighter text? [20:27] kind of a white on black color feel? [20:27] Jack_Sparrow, allright, here I go [20:27] erUSUL, yes, switch it with rook [20:27] hello, [20:27] has someone ever connected to a cisco router usiing minicom?? [20:28] Do I have to play with gtk or something to get that effect? === Maher is now known as MaherSenatu [20:29] could anyone here help me up with partitioning? [20:29] SliMM, Ask away [20:29] What is the best soundfont to use with TiMidity? [20:30] SliMM: don't ask to ask, just ask ;-) [20:30] I have a question about adding a program to the Applications menu [20:30] Jack_Sparrow: "sudo gparted /dev/sda" works but i cannot edit the partitions [20:30] How can I add a program to the Applications Menu and ensure it runs with root permissions ? [20:31] Jack_Sparrow, I need to log back in, or just remove them? [20:31] please i removed the quiet splash by pressing f6 at the boot and i then removed it and added noapic acpi=off and in both i failed [20:31] asymtptote: preface the commandline entry with gksudo [20:31] how can i run that live cd [20:31] thanks renfrew, i'll try [20:31] asymptote: in the properties i guess just have it run gksu appname [20:31] SliMM, dont you have gui desktop etc.. I would suggest gparted livecd for work at that level.. [20:31] Jack_Sparrow, CTRL + ALT + F7 is not bringing me back to my GUI [20:31] !gparted [20:31] pike_, renfrew is it gksu or gksudo ? [20:31] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [20:31] err.. yeah.. gksu.. not sudo.. dman pneumonia makin me foggy [20:32] sluimers, restart [20:32] ahmedh724: put it into your cd drive and change the bios setting to run the cd first, before your HDD [20:32] Jack_Sparrow, okay.. here I go [20:32] please i removed the quiet splash by pressing f6 at the boot and i then removed it and added noapic acpi=off and in both i failed how can i run that live cd [20:32] i did that of course [20:32] laura: you can not do castling while being in check [20:32] What is the best soundfont to use with TiMidity? [20:33] pike_, renfrew thank you - however it didn't solve my problem :( [20:33] Jack_Sparrow: how can i make the installation process skip the "starting partition editor" part and go directly to complete formatting? [20:33] yes DaemonLee [20:33] does anyone here play a game called Teewars ? [20:33] erUSUL, I got an checkmate :| [20:33] but when I`m not in check how do I do castling? [20:33] the problem is that when i press enter on the start or install ubuntu item i get busybox initramfs screen even when i teried what jack sparrow told me [20:33] Jack_Sparrow: i have more than 700 files in my /dev folder, and the installer gets stuck [20:33] asymptote: it should prompt you for your password with gksu prefaced.. did you at least see the password request? [20:33] SliMM, starting parted should give you the option for formatting.. [20:34] laura: so; what is the problem exactly? [20:34] Jack_Sparrow: so, just parted? [20:34] renfrew, it does prompt me for a password but it turns out my problem doesn't seem to be root permissions [20:34] I'm trying to use my DVB-T stick with Kaffeine, the stick is installed and I've managed to scan for my local digital channels, but when I try to play one kaffeine crashes. I get this error starting Kaffeine: "can't bind info socket!!!" [20:34] hey jack sparrow i need help [20:34] SliMM, Perhaps you should provide more detail on what you are trying to do .. are you trying to edit a mounted partition. are you running livecd etc? [20:34] renfrew, I'm trying to add a game called Teewars to my Applications menu, but when I launch it from the menu the colours are distorted [20:34] I don`t know how to do castling in Gl/chess and I did not find any instructions [20:35] hey, apparently my copy/paste in gnome apps is broken. anyone else have that happen before? [20:35] renfrew, when I launch it from the command line it doesn't have this problem [20:35] Jack_Sparrow: oh, so the partition should be unmounted, right [20:35] (i'm talking "CLIPBOARD", not "PRIMARY") [20:35] ahh... .. what happens if you launch it using ALt-F2 or from a terminal? [20:35] PRI is fine [20:35] renfrew, can you think what could be different launching a program from the command line and not from the applications menu ? [20:35] ahmedh724, Did you do the self test for errors and were there any? you may need to go to the alternate cd.. [20:35] SliMM, yes [20:35] laura: afaics you move the king two squares toward the rook and it is done [20:35] Jack_Sparrow: i'm trying to install ubuntu, but the installer gets stuck at loading the partition editor [20:36] what is the lternate cd and how to use it and why does the live cd can't run on my pc [20:36] ohh, I`ll try just in a moment [20:36] ahmedh724: alt cd is an installer cd without live cd. it uses text-based installer [20:36] laura: only if the castling is "allowed" e.g you have not moved the king nor the rook you are not in check etc... [20:36] LMJ: Did you get my query? [20:36] SliMM, livecd sometimes takes quite awhile to figure out your partitions... You can run partition editor from the livecd desktop menus and avboid the installer too [20:37] renfrew, I found something on the teewars forum - I'll go from there [20:37] yes, you asked me if I was still here a couple of minutes ago [20:37] asymptote: I take it that Teewars down't have its own .desktop files so that it gets autoadded to the menu by apt [20:37] erUSUL, yes It is working 10q! :) [20:37] Jack_Sparrow: partition editor gets stuck too [20:37] Some_Person: nut why can't i run my live cd on pc [20:37] renfrew, I don't see a .desktop file for teewars [20:37] ahmedh724: i cant answer that without more details [20:38] SliMM, download gparted livecd would be my suggestion [20:38] renfrew, if you're interested, this is precisely what is happening: http://www.teewars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=621 [20:38] I think its should be in /usr/share/menu [20:38] LMJ, and I just queried you. Anyways, my problem is that it's not listed as a eth device, but recongized in lspci. [20:38] erUSUL, are u there? [20:38] JCDG: yes; now i am ;) [20:38] renfrew, I've always wondered about how some programs install buy don't add a menu entry. Is this because these "desktop files" you speak of are not included ? [20:38] I'm reading that link now asymptote [20:39] jejeje, hey i need some help with this [20:39] i'm trying to connect to a cisco router using minicom [20:39] asymptote: System --> Preferences --> Main Menu [20:39] but i need to now which one of the tty or anyone of th them is my usb to serial converter [20:39] Some_Person, thank you - I know about this, but it rarely works or is properly configured as opposed to a program that auto-installs to the menu [20:39] yeah.. some packages don't have the necessary menu files, it should get run as part of the install.. that menu update hook [20:40] Some_Person, if anything, perhaps I could learn how to properly add files to the menu [20:40] Jack_Sparrow: it doesn't freeze or something, but i think there are too many devices; i can't really boot from a cd unless wubi is for all bootable CDs; even if i format and partition my hdd with gparted, i still need to get past the "starting partition manager" screen in the installer, which doesn't work that well -- i would be glad if i could just skip that screen and pass /dev/sda directly to the installer [20:40] asymptote: well, it only doesn't appear in menu if a .desktop file isn't included. it should go to /usr/share/applications [20:40] asymptote: usually "Main Menu" works for me for adding new entries [20:40] SliMM, Sorry.. you never mentioned wubi... I personally hate that program and would never recommend or support it [20:41] Some_Person: my pc is of 1.7 gigs intl celeron processor 256 sdram 128 geforce mx 4000 and 160 gigs hd older ata and aopen dvd writer and when i press on the install or run ubuntu item in the boot screen of the live cd it gives me some loading not splash screen then i get busybox....initramfs..and something like command prompt i tried what jack sparrow told me by deleting quiet splash and i failed then i removed it and added noapic acpi=off and also [20:41] i got nothing but it stops at initramfs [20:41] i've just updated from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using do-release-update, and now i get a kernel panic when i boot: http://i25.tinypic.com/25sym8g.jpg . this computer is using lvm on top of raid1 md devices. what might the problem be? [20:41] ahmedh724: what error do you get? if no error, what is the last thing you see? [20:41] Some_Person, if you're interested - the picture denoted in this topic: http://www.teewars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=621 is happening when I launch from the menu and not from the console [20:41] Jack_Sparrow: i don't know what that is, but it helped me boot from the live cd, since my bios is somehow broken [20:42] Some_Person: i can't remeber but it contains data 0x00 ......... [20:42] SliMM, Starting from the beginning, what cd do you have [20:42] I've went through a lot of trouble to set up my own account exactly the way I want. Is there an easy way to make every new account exactly like it? [20:42] asymptote: try making a shell script to cd to the dir and then run it, and make a menu item to run that [20:43] Jack_Sparrow: 7.10 live & install cd, up and running [20:43] if i bot from the live cd and start a recovery shell, how can i mount a filesystem that is on an lvm logical volume? [20:43] Some_Person: or i can't understand what is the error [20:43] Some_Person, I don't know how to shell script :( [20:43] ahmedh724: that tells me very little, except that it is unlikely that the live cd will work [20:43] I need to backup a number of files to DVD. I'd like to be able to point a utility to the files and have it span disks as needed. Is there a utility that ill do that? [20:43] Some_Person, that's one of my long-term goals [20:43] Got a SAGEM 800 usb modem here, the instructions on the wiki apply to Edgy and Feisty, do they apply to Hardy? [20:43] asymptote: i learned in about 10 minutes, just google [20:43] SliMM, How did you boot it? [20:43] Aight. I got a problem, I put in my wireless card in my ExpressCard slot (Belkin N1 ExpressCard), and it's recongized as a Atheros chipset, but won't be in my iwconfig list or even listed as a eth device. [20:44] I need some pointers on debugging an audio problem in Ubuntu Gutsy -- it acts just as if the speakers were not plugged in. aplay -l and some /dev stats are up here: http://pastebin.com/d55e03307 [20:44] Some_Person, I'll be sure to google it :0 There are so many things that I am meaning to google [20:44] kees_: There are lots of ".gnome2", ".xchat2", ... files to copy. They contain account settings. [20:44] Hi. Everybody. I have a laptop, Dell Inspiron 1501. I have turned off screensaver and "to turn off monitor" in power managment settings, but it has no effect. After about 10 minutes my monitor is turned off. This can be fixed by adding some code to xorg.conf. I think, it's a bug. [20:44] Some_Person: ok any other suggestions [20:44] I've checked the alsamixer settings, and nothing input-related is muted, or set very low [20:44] Some_Person, believe it or not, it's tough to find time and sometimes a simple google turns into an abyss :) [20:44] Jack_Sparrow: installed wubi on windows and used that boot-time menu, or however you like to call it [20:44] thanks some person.. that what i was just about to suggest.. either that or export the install directory into $PATH so that its system wide [20:44] largos, /join #Alsa they are good with sound issues [20:44] Some_Person, but thank you, I'll follow your directions and see how it works [20:44] ahmedh724: use the alternate cd [20:44] brb [20:44] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [20:44] People, I'm a new Linux user and need some help with this. [20:44] ahmedh724: i don't know what else to say [20:44] np [20:45] hey, what's gatos? [20:45] Jadd76: I haven't seen your previous post, do you have any problems with getting your sagem f@st 800 modem to work? [20:45] Some_Person:ok thanks [20:45] SliMM, Exactly my point... I hate wasting my time on things like that [20:45] i just got a wierd scrollkeeper error trying to install dia and scribus [20:46] asymptote: you're welcome [20:46] kees_: ask, then [20:46] Jack_Sparrow: sorry? [20:46] anyone else seen something like this before? /var/lib/scrollkeeper/C/scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml:1002: parser error : [20:46] odder: that was my first post, I haven't tried yet, I just wanted to verify https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/ueagle-atm applies to Gutsy too [20:47] SliMM, np.. I would be happy to help you actuall install it.. just no wubi or vm anything [20:47] Hi all, i need help with amsn , i v got little, little, little menu , http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8227/amsnbugbp2.png [20:47] on ubuntu 7.10 [20:47] Jack_Sparrow: "sorry?" as in "i didn't understaind what you have said", but what is wubi anyway? [20:48] SliMM, read up where you got it.. it is not a real installation [20:48] SliMM, it vreates a simulated partition /installation insde a folder [20:48] file [20:48] Jadd76: I remember installing f@st 800 on my dapper box using ueagle-atm, so it should work on gutsy, too [20:49] well, i have booted my cd, if i choose "install", won't i be able to format the whole hdd and install ubuntu? [20:49] good evening @ all, can somebody give me a link or a howto with samba commands for adding and edit usergroups ??? <-samba newbie ;) [20:49] SliMM, only if it is booted and not simulated under windows [20:50] Jack_Sparrow: i'm not under windows [20:50] prone: not a lin k as such but have you tried using swat.. its a web interfae for managing samba [20:50] Jadd76: there's a program written by some Polish ubuntu users, dunno if it will help you, google for 'Ubuneo' or 'Ubudsl' [20:50] odder: on the wiki it has one section for edgy and feisty, and one section for dapper. Which set of instructions should I follow for Gutsy? [20:50] and it looks as real as it can get [20:50] SliMM, Power up with the cd in the drive and tell me the first menu you see [20:50] Jadd76: I'd say these for feisty should be best for gutsy [20:51] Jadd76: but I haven't been doing that for ages, so I can't help you, sorry :( [20:51] more specifically, if i boot from the live cd and start a recovery shell, how can i mount a filesystem that is on an lvm logical volume that is on an md device? [20:51] Hello I need help about the pidgin software [20:52] babu: ask, then [20:52] odder: that was my guess as well, I wanted confirmation. I'll edit the page to highlight the need. Thanks anyway [20:52] hey, I can't find a solution to this anywhere... [20:52] ok odder, I would like install the GaduGadu emoticon on Pidgin, and I dont find them on the web [20:53] compiz keeps failing with no error, and I don't really know how to go about debugging this [20:53] Jack_Sparrow: before installing wubi on windows: nothing, it boots from the hard disk, i can't change that since my bios is somehow broken; after installing wubi on windows and *rebooting*, i get a simple bootloader-like menu where i can choose "windows xp pro" or "ubuntu-linux" [20:53] SliMM, Sorry.. cant help you [20:53] doing $ compiz just gives me 'aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity' [20:53] !paste [20:53] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [20:53] !pastebin [20:53] babu: if you're Polish, then there is a Polish ubuntu channel, see #ubuntu-pl [20:54] Jack_Sparrow: ok, what's my problem? [20:54] odder, I am not polish [20:54] sykopomp: just paste the error [20:54] that was it [20:54] Jack_Sparrow, still there? [20:54] there's nothing useful in it [20:54] but I will go see [20:54] babu: I'll ask them [20:54] sluimers, yes [20:54] this canal thks odder [20:54] it just aborts and falls back to metacity [20:54] I'd use pastebin, but it's barely even a line long :P [20:54] Hi all, i need help with amsn , i v got little, little, little menu , http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8227/amsnbugbp2.png [20:54] on ubuntu 7.10 [20:54] Jack_Sparrow, I'm experiencing crashes and missing tops of windows [20:54] i <3 ubuntu :D [20:54] sluimers, How far did you get [20:54] i am getting no sound from smplayer can you help me [20:55] sluimers, metacity --replace or compiz -- replace [20:55] Jack_Sparrow, I tried the terminal to see if the error is gone, but gnome crashed instead [20:55] I'm trying to use my DVB-T stick with Kaffeine, the stick is installed and I've managed to scan for my local digital channels, but when I try to play one kaffeine crashes. I get this error starting Kaffeine: "can't bind info socket!!!" [20:55] any ideas on how I can figure out what's wrong? I had it working until a reboot, and then I had to go into failsafe gnome to even get on an account :( [20:55] Jack_Sparrow, yay! it's back! [20:56] Jack_Sparrow: how many "files" (or whatever the names represent) has an average linux user in /dev? [20:56] SliMM, There are many ways to actually install ubuntu... [20:56] my xorg seems fine ("xgl" is there), I have xserver-xgl installed, I tried completely removing compiz and reinstalling === DragoneBlu_ is now known as DragoneBlu [20:56] nothing [20:56] same thing [20:56] :( [20:56] sluimers, Baby steps [20:56] SliMM: mine has 690 [20:57] Jack_Sparrow, and yay! the errors are gone too! [20:57] what is that installer icon anyway? [20:57] sluimers, I am still unsure of the extent of your original problem, but that represents a degree of progress [20:57] Jack_Sparrow, even Audacity works again! [20:57] sluimers, Sometimes I get lucky [20:58] Jack_Sparrow, thanks! Perhaps this was the solution. [20:58] ideas? Or can someone at least tell me how to reset the user settings to default so I can use the account normally? [20:58] babu: see http://tinyurl.com/yvse49 [20:58] is there a good Howto for gutsy/vmware/win2k? [20:58] sluimers, great.. cya later pinky and the brain is on [20:58] babu: that's the URL I've been given on #ubuntu-pl [20:59] pinky & the brain? that shows never on anymore... [20:59] Jack_Sparrow, okay... I'm off to conquer the world then! [20:59] pinky yes it is [20:59] :) [20:59] Jack_Sparrow, have fun! [20:59] can someone help me with this?

[21:52] holyguyver - thats because your asking apt to install a package that makes paste binning easy - just pastebin the /etc/apt/sources.list file manually [21:52] of nvidia-glx-new? [21:52] long live nix [21:52] killown, you don't [21:52] conformer, : Nvidia-xconfig [21:52] conformer, : It worked [21:52] it installed [21:52] nice [21:52] Danand how many times do I have to tell you I am not installing anything, I am not trying to instyall anything [21:53] what is the command to unrar files to a specific directory?

[21:53] killown, in one month you can do a dist-upgrade and have 2.22 and it'll be MUCH easier than trying to build it yourself :-) [21:53] conformer, : Yes, needs a reboot according to restricted drivers [21:53] holyguyver, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and manually paste your sources list to the pastebin.. that line I gave would install a program.. if it had worked [21:53] ok thats normal [21:53] Gatton, ty [21:53] will have to see when ubuntu boots up, but I'm hopeful [21:53] conformer, <3, thanks for all your help [21:53] no problem [21:54] let me know if it doesn't work for some reason [21:54] will know in a few mins [21:54] k coo [21:54] l [21:54] getting through grub takes a long time for some reason [21:55] holyguyver - the command Jack_Sparrow gave you was to install a package called pastebinit. Jack was trying to use that package to see your /etc/apt/sources.list file. That is the reason that command Jack gave you gave you the same error. All you needed to do was to manually paste bin the contents of that file as I said before [21:55] conformer, : Should I reinstall nvidia-xconfig?

[22:29] espham: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbFlashDrives [22:29] cge: correct [22:29] lol [22:29] audacity works for me, except for the fact when i try to play songs, nothing happens, like i see it playing, but i hear nothing... any ideas? [22:29] can anyone help me with removing EVERYTHING associated with wine?

[22:30] Lamego: you can move files though... why not have copy as well? [22:30] cge: well, i can't install the mol-source package, its only for powerpc [22:30] Some_Person: oh, right [22:30] Luke, you can rename, which is equivalent to move, there is no server side copy operation on FTP [22:30] I'll be back in a sec [22:31] °~° amenado °~° i know the info in the ip routing table is wrong but i dont know how to change it [22:31] Some_Person: And you're not using the CVS version?

[22:31] Some_Person: But the version you downloaded, and are trying to build? [22:32] acfrazier: check out System> Administration> Screens and Graphics [22:32] cge: just the ethernet driver (you have to build them separately) [22:32] ks3: is that to me ? [22:32] acfrazier: this is if your on ubuntu === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [22:32] Some_Person: Yes, but is that part from cvs or a release?

I installed ubuntu two days ago and is pretty new to this:P [22:33] Some_Person: Ah, then you should probably try the cvs version. [22:33] secondary screen is greyed out, I have 2 monitors hooked up [22:33] it always worked with OpenSUSE.

[22:33] just 1 downside to linux: OMG too many updates [22:33] cge: uhmm, just looked into the mol-source pacgake, it includes the driver as a source, wonder if i could compile that [22:33] migrated to ubuntu by friend reccomendation [22:33] Some_Person: There are bugs in their tracker talking about how the released version doesn't work well with *2.4* [22:33] ks3: so #>aptitude search libungif ? [22:33] Some_Person: You could probably do that. [22:34] gbz: yep, that should come back with all packages containing libungif [22:34] hello everybody! did anyone here ever work with lcd4linux? everything works, i just want a few hints... thanks [22:34] Hey all, quick question: did anyone else in North America have troubles with daylight savings time on Ubuntu? [22:34] can anyone help me remove wine? ive done apt-get remove, synaptic, AND add/remove and i still have files and about 8GB of space taken up [22:34] ks3: perfecto !! [22:34] hello, is there a command I can use or file I can view that will tell me if I'm using gutsy or hardy? cause I'm not sure anymore.... [22:34] !version | delfick [22:34] delfick: maybe lsb_release -a [22:34] delfick: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [22:34] karoshi, have you checked the hidden .wine on your home dir ? [22:34] and why the hell does a torrentclient have to be over 100 megs? [22:35] cge: it was able to build sheep.o, but what do i do with that? [22:35] I'm having problems just getting into the liveCD for ubuntu. I'm on a windows XP machine with AMD Turion 64x2 processor. I've tried both versions of the 7.10 (Gutsy) liveCD, and neither one is working properly. :x [22:35] Karsyth: You want to remove it *completely*? [22:35] awsome, thankyou, am still running gutsy [22:35] cge: there were errors, but they concerned some other things in that source package, not sheep_net [22:35] Some_Person: Well, you could probably sudo insmod sheep.o [22:35] cge: yes, i want to have a clean install of wine and to do that i want to remove it COMPLETELY first [22:35] azuki, actually there are plenty choices for a bt client, most of them are <1MB [22:35] Some_Person: I'm not sure if that will actually work, though. [22:36] cge: insmod: error inserting 'sheep.o': -1 Invalid module format [22:36] Karsyth: If you want to remove all of the things you installed using it, remove all of the .wine* hidden directories. [22:36] lamego: I checked in the package-base... I finally ended up with transmission to be the best one, still over 40 megs I believe.. [22:36] Some_Person: Ah, then it didn't build. [22:36] Just a note, the liveCD works fine on another laptop. I get to the menu just fine on the troublesome laptop, and it gets to where it starts loading the processes. However, within a process or two after giving an "OK" on the gnome display driver, it gives a black screen and locks up. [22:36] hi - if synaptic tells me i have libc6 2.5 , should it be prompting me to upgrade soon? Ive read there are problems with the upgrade. [22:36] cge: wait, i was able to insbuild sheep.ko [22:36] cge: insmod i mean [22:36] Some_Person: ah, sorry. I should have told you that. [22:37] Lamego: as I recall, azarues is even 160 megs or something... and it's a slow java app with that [22:37] azuki, you are wrong, torrent uses <1 MB [22:37] cge: is it installed now? [22:37] This is getting frustrating. All I need is dual monitors, and Linux is complete. [22:37] Lamego: I mean the client... check your package [22:38] stupid secondary monitor won't show up [22:38] Lamego: look at azereus [22:38] Some_Person: If insmod didn't give errors, the module should be loaded, yes. [22:38] greyed out [22:38] so everything is working now right s-h-a-k-a? [22:38] ok, now i'll try it [22:38] Some_Person: Whether it will actually work or not is still questionable. [22:38] azuki, I mean the client also, it's size is < 700 KBs [22:38] yeah [22:38] just fixing this [22:38] xchat [22:38] cge: ive already removed the hidden folders and its still in my applications menu, and its still using about 8GB. problem is i cant find it [22:38] Some_Person: And do note that you'll need to insmod it every time you restart. [22:38] wpm [22:38] Karsyth: oh [22:38] can't get it to automatically join a password channel [22:38] hi , how can i disable the ip6v ? [22:38] Lamego: dubble checking here :) [22:38] !ipv6 | Diablo22 [22:38] Diablo22: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [22:38] Karsyth: Around what size is your entire home directory? [22:39] thanks [22:39] huh, well i don't really know much about that [22:39] cge: i get Cannot open /dev/sheep_net (Permission denied) [22:39] 555.8 mb [22:39] i need to get going though. i have some stuff i need to finish [22:40] Some_Person: There could be worse - try sudo chmod 777 /dev/sheep_net [22:40] Some_Person: Of course, that's rather insecure, but it will do for testing. [22:40] Anyone? [22:40] !anyone [22:40] Lamego: it's installing many many side-programs...right now I have to give you point, but I must say I noticed the size of programs beeing a bit above normal.. I would expect a torrent client to be under 5 mb's for sure [22:40] 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? [22:40] Karsyth: So the 8GB isn't in your home directory? [22:41] cge: 555.8mb [22:41] i'll talk to you guys later [22:41] ah sorry [22:41] my window didnt scroll [22:41] azuki, the client itself uses 600KB, and it does not depend on "side programs" it depends on libraries, which are share across several applications [22:41] cge: nope, i have a 20GB HD and i only have 1.4GB free [22:41] cge: it works! [22:41] cge: the only app i had installed aside from steam is enemy territory, and that takes under 1gb [22:42] I am getting an error starting Gutsy. I see it says Starting up after GRUB, then I get "Error: Cannot allocate resource region 7(also errors for 8 and 9) of bridge....", then flips to a blank black screen and hangs. Any ideas? [22:42] well? [22:42] Some_Person: Excellent! I was very worried that I'd lead you through a bunch of things without me really knowing that much about basilisk2, and then have it not work... [22:42] Lamego: I understand that.... maybe it's the content of those libs I don't understand, but you would agree with me that the first time you install a torrent-client on a clean linux install, you will have too install 100+ megs? [22:42] I need help with dual monitors.. but the forum tutorial don't work. My friend told me to try the IRC. [22:42] cge: now, how can i avoid having to insmod every boot, and how do i make it a little more secure (you said chmod 777 was insecure) [22:43] i have problem with dovecot on ubuntu [22:43] azuki, well, it depends on the client, as far as I remember, transmission depends mostly on gtk, which means, you shoudn't need much more than the base system, unless you installed kubuntu or xubuntu [22:43] Some_Person: Well, you can create a group for users who are allowed to use sheep-net, and then change the group of the file and chmod 770 it. [22:44] can anyone help me with dovecot under ubuntu ? [22:44] I need some assistance with the liveCD. I can't get it to boot properly. I can get to the Ubuntu menu, but it is after I select a boot option that I get issues. This is for both the 64-bit and i386 liveCDs. What happens is this: I select "Install or Run Ubuntu," then it goes through the list of processes it is loading. After it gets to the end of the list, which is shortly after the "Gnome Display Driver," I get a black screen and the comp [22:44] uter laptops. Does anyone have an advice on how I should proceed from here? I've tested the liveCDs on another laptop and they function correctly. [22:44] cge: ok, and what about having to insmod every boot? [22:44] hello all [22:44] buenas [22:44] hi [22:44] welcome [22:44] how do you get to a root terminal ? [22:44] sudo su [22:44] TrueNme, sudo -s [22:44] please need your help people [22:44] don't have much time [22:45] escuela_, english, or #ubuntu-es [22:45] TrueNme: sudo -i... but why do you need a root terminal?

[22:46] Phaqui, make sure you are set to boot from CD [22:46] Karsyth: Have you tried du -h --max-depth=2 to look for folders that might be suspiciously large? [22:46] boot from cd? [22:46] Lamego: you're anwer isn't really satifying me... I understand that with transmission it's in reasonably constraints.. that's why I'm running that now... [22:46] Phaqui: in bios [22:46] TrueNme: there is a "route" command for doing that [22:46] °~° Slart °~° im using a dhcp connectin and the info such as destination gateway and what have you is all wrong and i cant get online [22:47] cge: do i need to move sheep.ko somewhere? I don't want it in a series of folders on my desktop [22:47] Some_Person: As for insmoding it automatically, there are elegant ways to do so, but I don't remember them very well and probably couldn't explain them. [22:47] okay, well, I'll give it a try [22:47] Lamego: I do see the upsides to it against windows ... no doubt about it... [22:47] °~° Slart °~° ok [22:47] does anyone knows why the power managment does not turn off the monitor after the idle time? (ubuntu 7.10) [22:47] sirjoebob: I've never heard anything bad about using sudo su... it just seems like sudo -s and sudo -i are more to the point.. [22:47] Slart... ok. it is just how i have been doing it for some time and wondered if i was doing something wrong. i will probably still stick with it... lol [22:48] Some_Person: You could put it in /lib/modules/[your kernel version]/ [22:48] °~° Slart °~° what are the commands for chaning that info ? [22:48] I've been trying to install drivers for my DLink DWA 542 wireless internet card. A site I found told me to try MadWifi, but I cannot seem to [22:48] does anybody have an idea to my problem? [22:48] 'make' after running the scripts, any idea? [22:48] TrueNme: use sudo for root-stuff... then we won't have to help you reinstall later.. when you've done something bad in that root shell.. (RM / home/myuselessstuff is awfully easy to type.. DONT TYPE THIS!!) [22:49] Some_Person: Then run depmod [22:49] cge: ok [22:49] Sona: sudo apt-get install build-essential is a good start [22:49] sirjoebob: hehe.. you do that =) [22:49] °~° Slart °~° im not in sudo anymore [22:49] TrueNme: well.. the route command has many parameters.. man route will give you more info [22:49] Lamego: which programs are added to the package list?... by what "rule" ? [22:49] hi I am trying to configure Proftpd on Ubuntu Linux in SSH. I have been researching all evening on getting the filing permissions right but its getting a bit complex. [22:49] Basically I need to set the correct permissions in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf [22:49] Slart... to each his own, right? [22:49] and what I want is to block all access to all folders except a folder called /var/www with all the contents withing www being unblocked ? [22:49] TrueNme: security reasons? [22:49] Has anyone looked at Nexenta? It's GNU with Ubuntu and Solaris [22:50] °~° Slart °~° thank you [22:50] azuki, sorry, couldn't understand your question, which package list ? [22:50] what port do I have to forward, to allow the remote desktop from outside? [22:50] thank you pike [22:50] °~° Slart °~° no i cant get online and the info is wrong i need to chsange it [22:50] sirjoebob: indeed.. until we find something bad with sudo su, I guess =) [22:50] cge: where does it go exactly? there are no .ko files in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic but there are some in some subdirs [22:50] sirjoebob, Slart: sudo su uses more memory, I believe. [22:51] Can someone tell me how to create rar files with the .r01, .r02, .r03 extension? [22:51] TrueNme: no, I meant.. why aren't you in the sudoer's list?

Every time I try to burn a CD, it tells me that the system is too slow...but the CD itself seems to be fine. What's going on? [22:52] Zasch: sounds like the system is too slow, not the CD [22:52] lots of things crash these days, and it frustrates me... [22:52] Some_Person: If you run depmod -v, you can grep the output to see if it finds the module. [22:52] oh i closed the terminal and reopend it so i was at the $ prmt insted of the # prmpt [22:53] kestir: That is to say, the data on the CD does not appear to be compromised or otherwise negatively impacted.

Basically I need to set the correct permissions in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.. and what I want is to block all access to all folders except a folder called /var/www with all the contents withing www being unblocked ? [22:56] cge: does it need any other files? there are others in the folder i compiled it in [22:56] Some_Person: Ok, run sudo depmod, and then try sudo rmmod sheep and sudo modprobe sheep [22:56] Out of curiosity, any one have issues with Nautilus lately? Mainly with icons disappearing/changing and being unable to open folders and the like only remedied by restarting nautilus? [22:56] :) [22:56] amenado: ok im in the menu .lst it was in this dir /media/disk/boot/grub, could you help me edit it safely [22:56] Some_Person: I don't think it does. [22:57] cge: no output from those commands [22:57] kestir - hmmm ... [22:57] phenom: nautilus has always been a kludge.. but I can't say I have had more problem now than before.. [22:57] bbl I g2g eat [22:57] Cew27-> easy, from the entry -- remove the splash [22:57] Cew27-> then save it again.. [22:57] danand: yeah, im stumped too! [22:57] kestir - :) [22:57] Slart, Thanks, yea it just recently started happening. [22:57] I need help with dual monitors. The forum tutorials don't work for me, and I've tried everything else. The option for secondary monitor is greyed out. Pic here: http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotscreenandgrapvs4.png [22:58] Hi guys [22:58] ok hold on let me put it in a paste bin and can u edit it so that only the normal ubuntu kernel is there and not the recovery and memory test ect and can you take out the splash [22:58] !pastebin [22:58] 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) [22:58] cge_: is that good? [22:58] I'got a problem [22:58] Some_Person: Hmm... try lsmod and see if sheep is loaded. [22:59] how can i search the contents of all files in a directory? [22:59] Some_Person: I think it is good, yes. [22:59] cge_: its the first thing on the list [22:59] i have another question: if building a prog (configure, make, make install) as root inside a chroot - make install installs it in the chroot yes ? [22:59] Some_Person: Ah, very good. [22:59] CorruptTerrorist: grep might work [22:59] I need help with dual monitors. The forum tutorials don't work for me, and I've tried everything else. The option for secondary monitor is greyed out. Pic here: http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotscreenandgrapvs4.png [22:59] Some_Person: So now you can load it from anywhere with modprobe sheep [23:00] I need an helping hand [23:00] cge_: can i make it automatically load? [23:00] Some_Person: and it may or may not load automatically. [23:00] CorruptTerrorist: as a matter of fact.. that's is just what grep does =) [23:00] amenado: what do i remove ? do i take out ro quiet splash or just quite splash [23:00] alegria: ask your question.. don't ask to ask [23:00] Some_Person: I can never remember what new-fangled thing is used for automatic dev-module loading now. [23:00] cge_: theres /etc/modules [23:00] cge_: libnufangle [23:00] Some_Person: Err, or you could use that... [23:00] Cew27-> quiet splash [23:00] Well since this is obviously no help, I'm just going to exit [23:01] acfrazier: err, have you tried asking on the forums? [23:01] amenado: ok cheers and how do i make it pick windows after 5 seconds ? [23:01] cge_: excellent, thank you very much for getting this to work [23:01] acfrazier: It's been my experience that asking difficult questions here usually doesn't result in answers. [23:01] k [23:01] Cew27-> why windows? you wanted ubuntu dont you not? [23:01] Some_Person: You're quite welcome. [23:01] Slart, how do i use it? [23:02] amenado: yes but i just built this pc for gaming and when i come home from school i flick it on get changed than game i use ubuntu to program [23:02] amenado: i took out the recovery kernel and mem test kernal [23:02] CorruptTerrorist: grep is very complex, but grep "[text you want to search for]" [files you want to search] works. [23:03] cge_, an entire directory [23:03] Cew27, the recovery kernel is nothing more then the normal kernel without the quiet and splash option and with the single option added .... [23:03] Cew27-> if you can figure that much, i am sure you can figure out which os it should select after 5 secs [23:03] CorruptTerrorist: Then use grep -R "[search string]" [directory] [23:03] CorruptTerrorist: open a terminal.. if you want to search all files in a certain folder for terrorist you would type grep "terrorist" * [23:03] amenado: no i just deleted txt before :P [23:03] CorruptTerrorist: It's very much like most other commands; -R is for recursive, and so on. [23:04] hischild: yes but it made the grub look untidy [23:04] Does anybody know a lightweight IMAP client that doesn't write anything to the hard disk? (to use for on-the-fly testing and administration) [23:04] CorruptTerrorist: there are switches to enable recursive file search.. case sensitivity... regular expressions etc etc [23:04] CorruptTerrorist: There are a few things to note, however, such as the fact that '.' in the search string stands for one of any character, and so on. [23:04] Cew27, yeah ... but that means that you can just edit the boot line by removing those 2 options and adding the sinel [23:04] *single [23:04] throughout bootup, an error message quickly appears - eth1: error fetching device information: device not found. i am using eth1 now, it is my wireless, and it works fine. any ideas? [23:04] ok so does anyone here know how i can edit my menu.lst to make it boot windows after 10 seconds ?? [23:05] Cew27-> okay, then let me give you a link about grub and the options you can have... http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [23:05] alvarezp: mutt? [23:05] hischild: i dont follow ? [23:05] cge_, thanks. Will try. [23:05] where is firefox installed? === spyware---- is now known as spyware-- === cge_ is now known as cge [23:05] Cew27-> basically, i'd like you to do some legwork..you'll learn more that way [23:06] amenado: okey dokes im reading into it now ;) [23:06] jack-desktop: "whereis firefox" in a terminal [23:06] I am trying to configure Proftpd on Ubuntu Linux in SSH. I have been researching all evening on getting the filing permissions right but its getting a bit complex. Basically I need to set the correct permissions in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.. and what I want is to block all access to all folders except a folder called /var/www with all the contents withing www being unblocked ? [23:06] Slart, I want to know where the files are located [23:07] jack-desktop, Slart: Firefox is actually in /usr/lib/firefox or /usr/lib/mozilla, if I recall correctly. [23:07] jack-desktop: firefox is probably installed in many locations.. bookmarks and settings in ~/.mozilla/firefox , binaries in /usr/local/firefox or something similar [23:07] jack-desktop: and that command I gave you didn't work? [23:07] pardusman-> can you paste in pastebin your proftpd.conf ? [23:07] kestir - rar a -v15000k -vn archive files ?? [23:07] Slart: That will give the launch script for firefox, which probably isn't what he's looking for. [23:08] pardusman: i was going to point you to help.ubuntu.com but the proftpd page is extreamly sparse [23:08] Slart, no, i was looing for /usr/lib/mozilla/, thanks cge [23:08] cge: that's odd.. on my computer it lists about 5 or 6 folders [23:08] jack-desktop: It is /usr/lib/mozilla? [23:08] yes [23:08] jack-desktop: Strange; I thought it was changed to /usr/lib/firefox years ago. Oh well... [23:09] ok guys [23:09] cge, jack-desktop: this is what "whereis firefox" outputs on my computer.. "firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib64/firefox /usr/share/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz" [23:09] Lycade: what problem do you have?

[23:24] yes it says make it say default saved but on mine windows says saveddeafault [23:24] slart; THANKS! [23:24] Karsyth: yes.. ~ = your home folder.. so /home/yourname/.wine [23:24] Cew27-> did you try it? if you have not , you would not learn the effects [23:24] Slart: i already deleted .wine [23:24] Karsyth: did you change anything in the wine install? [23:24] Karsyth: or you used the defaults? [23:25] Slart: im not sure, i probably messed it up [23:25] revilodraw: you're welcome [23:25] Slart: as far as folder locations go no i didnt [23:25] revilodraw-> hp laser printers works best [23:25] Hi again: how can i scroll further up the shell ? [23:25] amenado: i didnt want to screw anything up because its 11.25 at night, i have school in the morning and and i just did 3 hours revision for examsn [23:26] Karsyth: try the disk usage analyzer.. in Applications, accessories [23:26] i am compiling a prog and scrolling up only shows some of the output to the shell [23:26] Slart: should i just scan filesystem? home? [23:26] are there any parameter that I can use (in the livecd menu) to start xubuntu with less memory? like don't load any backgroundimage, screensaver or update-manager or something? [23:26] Karsyth: yea.. you can start with home.. see what you find [23:26] trying to find th origin of an error message but it is too far back [23:27] can i log the shell output to a file maybe ? [23:27] anyone know why iptables will forward packets to a different interface on a different subnet, but not the same subnet??? I can't connect my xbox360 to my upnp server on a different subnet (it pings *.*.*.255)... or is there a way to route packets from one IP to another?

[23:27] is the machine's hostname set anywhere apart from /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts? [23:28] next time wait 5 seconds [23:28] Karsyth: depends more on how many files you've got.. 20 GB isn't that much === Itaku is now known as Itaku^Shower [23:28] Hey everyone!

[23:29] I have 128MB memory (or little less since the graphic card is stealing 16Mb or so)... are there anything I can do to make Xubuntu livecd start? [23:29] Karsyth: try this then.. first "sudo updatedb".. then "locate steam" [23:29] Karsyth: the first command updates an index of files on your hard drives.. the second searches that index [23:29] How do I uninstall a program that I can't find in the "Add/Remove.." area. I want to install a package but there is another package interfering with it. [23:29] Karsyth: the first command might take a minute or so to run [23:29] Daniel3: run synaptic [23:29] amenado: ok so can you tel me how to do it [23:30] Slart: yep it found it, funny thing is its int he same location that i deleted... [23:30] damaltor-> i believed thats put there by ip_conntrak [23:30] Slart, tell him to search case insensitive, if i'm correct, it's Steam and not steam [23:30] how do i run synaptic again? [23:30] nvm [23:30] Cew27-> cp menu.lst menu.lst.original [23:30] hischild: ah.. didn't know that.. thanks === ZarroBoogs is now known as Pici [23:30] amenado: so i could try to reset it with that command? [23:30] Slart, you're welcome =) [23:30] damaltor nope, ip_conntrack is a bit counter, I dont think one can reset it [23:31] Karsyth: use locate -i to do a case insensitive search.. finds both Steam and steam [23:31] Daniel3: type "sudo synaptic" in the shell [23:31] anyone know the blender IRC chat channel [23:31] i found it [23:31] amenado: damn... brb, reboot... after 3 weeks =) [23:31] Excuse me guys... I just moved my HD to a new mobbo, it's an Asus m2n-mx, and now I'm getting a kernel panic: timer not connected to ioapic. I've tried booting with noapic as everyone suggest, but then my keyboard gets disabled... I'm trying to boot from the live cd, and it happens aswell! any thoughts? [23:31] amenado: oh yeh i know how to do that i want to know how to get windows to boot as default :P [23:32] Cew27 are you using grub? [23:32] hello, im trying to install phpmyadmin, but i have this message: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmcrypt4_2.5.7-5_i386.deb: files list file for package `libglib1.2' is missing final newline" ... how can solve this ? [23:32] Karsyth: use nautilus to delete the .wine folder.. there is a checkbox somewhere you can check to view hidden files [23:33] seb962, try safe mode graphics mode [23:33] Slart: ok what the hell, it says disk usage 15GB, but its only showing 5.4GB used in the filesystem [23:33] Slart: something is seriously wrong [23:33] seb962, I do not guarantee but it might work [23:33] I've got a dual-boot setup with grub which defaults to booting windows. Is there a way I can change it to boot ubuntu once-off then go back to defaulting to windows? [23:33] Karsyth: many small files take up more space... windows has *a lot* of small files [23:33] seb962: yes [23:33] Kalamarencu I tried that already, thanks though. [23:34] I have a really old laptop with about 256ram, can someone recommend a distro and version of linux I could install on it? [23:34] Slart: is there a command to delete everything with steam in it? [23:35] kestir, this is the ubuntu channel .... hence my suggestion: get ubuntu [23:35] Karsyth: use nautilus [23:35] my etho card config settings are wrong such as the gateway dns and my ip address how can i change them ? [23:35] hischild: ok...which version? [23:35] kestir: xubuntu of course [23:35] Cew27: You need to find the menu.lst file. It should be in the /grub folder. gediting that file will let you set your desired partition as default. [23:35] hischild: I'm pretty sure the latest version is too heavy. [23:35] kestir, imo that'd be 7.10 .... or use xubuntu as Slart suggests [23:35] <3 xfce [23:35] kestir, hmm .. might be .. though all my vm's run fine on 128 meg ... [23:35] hischild: do you think ubuntu 7.10 can run on 256 of ram? [23:36] hello, im trying to install phpmyadmin, but i have this message: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmcrypt4_2.5.7-5_i386.deb: files list file for package `libglib1.2' is missing final newline" ... how can solve this ? [23:36] I use xubuntu on my mini-itx server with 256 MB memory.. works nicely [23:36] Slart: that's the striped down one, with xfce? [23:36] kestir: try running with icewm instead of Gnome/kde [23:36] seb962: yes i can do that i have edited the timer and the kernels displayed but i dont know how to get windows to boot as default after a set amount of time [23:36] kestir, if Slart thinks it's to heavy ... he's probably right ... but you can always get xubuntu [23:36] slart, but if I have a yet even older computer, with 112 MB memory? [23:36] kestir: yes; xubuntu is pretty light [23:36] kestir: well.. it isn't stripped down.. but it uses xfce instead of gnome.. gnome is a big big boy [23:37] Cew27 Okies, you have to look for the "default 0" line, and swap that 0 for the OS number you want there :) I have an excellent Grub guide but it's in spanish lol [23:37] Slart: ok this isnt working, ive deleted everything with steam, i want to just COMPLETELY remove wine and everything associated with it, and steam and all my programs ive downloaded in wine [23:37] !blender [23:37] blender is a free application for 3D modelling, animation, rendering, etc. You can install it from Ubuntu's repositories, and tutorials are at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro [23:37] gbz: Slart KlrSpz thanks! [23:37] anyone know anything about sleep [23:37] !gnomedo [23:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomedo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:37] x9x: well.. depends on what you want to use it for.. but there are other distros especially made for low power systems Damn small Linux is one such.. but it's ot here.. === protonchris_ is now known as protonchris [23:37] ok hold on [23:38] ok [23:38] seb962: ok so what am i looking for [23:38] Karsyth: ok.. I'm going to tell you this once more.. last time.. use nautilus ... delete the .wine folder in your home folder... that's it.. that's all you have to do.. [23:39] Cew27 For the "Default 0 " line [23:39] Slart: ive already done that [23:39] Slart: wine is still in my applications list [23:39] Karsyth: then steam should be gone.. if you used the default's when you installed wine [23:39] im trying to install phpmyadmin, but i have this message: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmcrypt4_2.5.7-5_i386.deb: files list file for package `libglib1.2' is missing final newline" ... how can solve this ? [23:39] Karsyth: use aptitude or synaptic [23:39] when I do a netstat -a | grep irc, I have an entry that says "ircd ---> LISTEN"... is this the default in ubuntu? cause I surely don't want an ircd running. maybe I'm confused [23:39] KlrSpz: im going to go eat dinner and come back and try that [23:40] Karsyth: but just deleting the ~/.wine folder also won't get rid of the steam shortcuts, those are stored elsewhere [23:40] Karsyth: wine itself doesn't use much space.. the .wine folder does.. but run this in a terminal.. "sudo apt-get remove --purge wine" [23:40] ok === Itaku^Shower is now known as Itaku [23:40] later do updatedb and then locate steam [23:40] Hello i have problem with clipboard and virtualbox, have someone this trouble? [23:40] loa: works fine here... sorry [23:40] Slart: it only freed 108mb [23:40] Excuse me guys... I just moved my HD to a new mobbo, it's an Asus m2n-mx, and now I'm getting a kernel panic: timer not connected to ioapic. I've tried booting with noapic as everyone suggest, but then my keyboard gets disabled... I'm trying to boot from the live cd, and it happens aswell! any thoughts? [23:41] KlrSpz: any idea on where the other steam folders / files are? [23:41] hi [23:41] !pastebin [23:41] 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) [23:41] btw to answer my own question: #>make > make.txt will save the output to a file so you can read it back however long it gets [23:41] What is the command to list all the user accounts on an ubuntu system? [23:41] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59545/ [23:41] Karsyth: use the disk usage analyzer then.. see what is using all that space [23:41] seb962: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59545/ [23:41] Where can I download pdftops and pstopdf from source? Previous versions preferred. [23:41] cew Let's take alook [23:42] Cew27 That's all??? [23:42] Karsyth: well steam would only know about the drive stored under your wine folder.. but wine knows more and would store the shortcuts elsewhere (the shortcuts are made by wine)... steam should have only actually been stored in your wine folder [23:42] gintu: it might be "users" but look it up first [23:43] im trying to install phpmyadmin, but i have this message: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmcrypt4_2.5.7-5_i386.deb: files list file for package `libglib1.2' is missing final newline" ... how can solve this ? [23:43] gbz: users only outputs who is currently logged in, I want all the user accounts on the system even if they're not logged in [23:43] blender IRC anyone? [23:43] seb962-> without hd, you should be able to boot from liveCD [23:43] how can I get a good copy of Ubuntu everytime I download and make a cd it says 38 errors when I check the files [23:43] irc.irchhighway.net [23:43] sebyes i removed the rest to tidy it up [23:43] mauro_rioiv: sounds like the package you're trying to install is broken in some way [23:43] can anyone help me figure out why I cannot wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi0 wlandmode sta? [23:44] Slart: http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3768/screenshotqu6.png [23:44] Cew27 I would need the whole thing, if possible. [23:44] Slart: thats my problem === jeff__ is now known as Gopher [23:44] How do I print a list off all groups? of all users? Thanks! [23:44] Patti: try using a torrent.. I think most torrent clients check md5 sums and such [23:44] Patti-> i have no issues downloading, can you try another mirror? [23:44] seb962: well all the rest is commentary [23:44] hello, does anyone know how I might set/check the java plugin path in firefox to make sure its using sun-java? [23:44] Cew27 Then you only have 1 partition? [23:44] no [23:45] Karsyth: and if you press the little black triangle to expand the / file listing in the left.. what do you get? [23:45] seb962: no the think i posted was windows and ubuntu [23:45] Slart: so, i download again ? [23:45] Cew27-> you have not pasted the top part.. [23:45] Hi. How do I get tomcat to start after reboot? sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start works from the terminal and I have S71tomcat symlins in /etc/rc2.d ->/etc/rc5.d? [23:45] mauro_rioiv: yes.. and perhaps clean the cache first.. "sudo apt-get clean" [23:45] steve176-> that seem reasonable [23:45] Should i install it even if there is errors on the cd [23:45] cool i try that .tks [23:45] Cew27 Amenado is correct, Cew, you're missing some pasting there :) In order to use the Default command to specify which partition to boot first you have to know what partition number you're talking about. [23:45] Why do I have an entry in netstat that says "ircd --> LISTEN" when I NEVER installed an IRCd? [23:45] Patti: I wouldn't.. [23:45] Pattid do not install errorred iso [23:46] amenado: Do you know at what point /etc/profile gets sourced? it could be JAVA_HOME / CATALINA_HOME aren't available early enough [23:46] Need a little help here. i need [23:46] artenius: probably because something is listening on a port than an ircd uses, although it isn't an ircd [23:46] gintu: did you try "who" ? [23:46] my install freezes [23:46] artenius: perhaps you're a leet warez dude and you don't even know it.. =/... try running rkhunter [23:46] !info rkhunter [23:46] rkhunter (source: rkhunter): rootkit, backdoor, sniffer and exploit scanner.

Why would something be listening by default? [23:47] Slart: http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/5980/screenshot1pi5.png [23:47] Cew https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto?highlight=%28grub%29 can give you a further understanding of how Grub works. [23:47] artenius: it might be something else listening on a port that usually used for ircd.. could be ICQ, msn.. or whatever [23:47] artenius-> compare result to lsof -i [23:47] I have 312 MB of ram, and my server install for 7.10 keeps freezing at random points [23:47] currently it's frozen at Retreiving dash... [23:47] gbz: Who also only shows who is logged on (i want not logged on as well). Can I invoke "Users and Groups" at the command line? I'm attempting to list all users accounts. === PhilKC_ is now known as PhilKC [23:48] hey, im dual booting gutsy and xp and every time i go to xp it overrides grub and sets itself to boot. how can i fix this? [23:48] Karsyth: doesn't look that bad.. you might be able to get rid of some of the stuff in /var but apart from that it looks like a normal ubuntu system [23:49] Slart: makes sense except I'm not running any of that. Only Xchat and firefox [23:49] I need pointers on creating /dev/ttyUSB* for a serial-to-usb device - I know it involves mknod but I seem to lose the device after reboot :/ [23:49] Juan what do you mean everytime you go to xp it overrides grub? can you clarify? [23:49] gintu: not sure then if they don't do it [23:49] artenius: what port is it? [23:49] uncorq-> cd /dev ; Makedev [23:49] Slart: i clean the cache, and download again ... and i have the same error ... [23:50] amenado, i meant xp sets itself to boot instead of grub [23:50] What is the command to list all groups? And what about to list all users? "groups" only lists the groups I am in. Thanks! [23:50] mauro_rioiv: then the package on the server might be broken.. it happens [23:50] amenado: ah! thx [23:50] Odd-rationale: cat /etc/group :) [23:50] just moved my HD to a new mobbo, it's an Asus m2n-mx, and now I'm getting a kernel panic: timer not connected to ioapic. I've tried booting with noapic as everyone suggest, but then my keyboard gets disabled... I'm trying to boot from the live cd, and it happens aswell! any thoughts? [23:50] Juan-> grub provides you a menu, xp is one of the entry..so what is the issue once you select xp? [23:50] Slart: the thing is when i first installed ubuntu, i got wine then i got steam and i installed CS:S, HL:1, a mod for HL:1 and DoW Dark crusade which took up about 10GB total [23:50] Slart: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:31337 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [23:51] pike_: Thanks! and how about for users? [23:51] Slart: i uninstalled wine and i installed it again, now i have 1gb of space and no steam anywhere i can find [23:51] Slart: and 6667 [23:51] amenado, it boots into xp, then when i restart or whatever no more grub menu, it goes straight to xp [23:51] artenius: port 31337... suspicious indeed.. [23:51] Odd-rationale: you can cat /etc/passwd. not sure if there is a command for it === jordan_ is now known as Jordan_U [23:51] gintu: i guess all users would be listed in /etc/passwd wouldn't they [23:51] Installation issue - "0.568000 PCI Bios Bug #81[49435000] found" on the alternate, as the normal cd, with the liveCD on it fails to load ubuntu. What should I do? [23:51] gbz: yeah, how would i display that? [23:51] pike_: Thanks again. [23:52] Slart: really suspicious, how could I get rooted in 2 days of installing, especially with a router and firewall [23:52] cat /etc/passwd [23:52] Karsyth: hmm.. that's odd... all that should have gone with the .wine folder.. but your home folder isn't taking up more than what.. 900 MB now.. so no steam there [23:52] Slart: now you see my problem? [23:52] Juan paste in pastebin your menu.lst [23:52] Slart: i just CANT figure this out [23:52] Now what was that command to sort things alphabetically? [23:52] gbz: that's what i tried but it's a mess :( I just want the users [23:52] artenius: I have no idea.. is it anything else that might run an ircd server.. do you even have ircd installed? [23:52] Slart: so, can modi de sources.list ... but what change i have to do ? [23:52] Odd-rationale-> man sort [23:53] Nvm found it [23:53] amenado: yeah, thanks [23:53] Slart: no, I just installed ubuntu yesterday, I've not installed any servers [23:53] maybe try #>cat /etc/passwd |grep 500* [23:53] Slart, Karsyth, if you remove wine/steam, it does not remove all the gcf's ... you can try and do " find / | grep *.gcf " or something along those lines. ... === spyware---- is now known as spyware-- [23:53] How can I convert Ubuntu daily live .iso image to LiveUSB under Fedora? [23:54] does makefile.am file is generated by human or computer? [23:54] sahak it is not necessary, fedora can read a standard .iso [23:54] gbz: that doesn't display anything. i think for this advanced functionality i'll have to go back to windows :( [23:54] is makefile.am file generated by human or computer? [23:54] hi, I have Ubuntu server installed in vmware, can I install X with this server install?

I used echo $(nvclock -i | grep temp) it gives me "GPU temperature: 39C". how can i get just the number and not the text?

[23:55] Pelo, then computer generate makefile?

[23:55] Karsyth: sudo locate filename [23:55] could i use a windows xp laptop as a wifi print server from my desktop? [23:55] my printer doesn't work with linux [23:55] musashi: the 3 value is for the third column [23:55] yeonhoo, that is what I beleive [23:55] Slart: cool. tks [23:56] hello. I have a very odd error where after a few days my system stops being able to respond to any command, just saying Input/output error [23:56] pike_, thanks. do i add that to my line or use instead? [23:56] Karsyth, I think it was something like sudo -i or sudo -s... :S I don't see it in my logs above anymore. =/ [23:56] artenius: can't you make netstat list what process is listening at a certain port? [23:56] GIn, hold on let me see if I can find the package name for just gnome [23:56] oh great, and then I couldn't scroll down [23:56] >.> [23:56] how do you make a Live USB under Ubuntu? [23:56] gintu: can you use the gui instead? [23:56] musashi: so like $(nvclock -i | grep temp| awk "{print $ 3}") maybe [23:56] Slart: yeah I was too stupid to remember to use sudo, so it wasn't naming the process [23:56] !install > sahak check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [23:56] Slart: it's portsentry on those ports [23:57] Slart: old habit, I install it on all my boxes [23:57] anyone know what would cause 'Input/output error' on every command? can't see the logs.
