[00:00] How know the version of the flac and metaflac installed on my system ? [00:00] narain: if you do it with a .gtk-2.0 file in you're /home dir then it will be ok [00:00] dpkg -l packagename [00:00] clearzen, sure thanx for looking into it [00:00] narain, 'hacking' what exactly? You can find the source and recode whatever ya want. No hacking needed. :) [00:00] ibou: aptitude show flac metaflac | grep Version [00:00] Ward1983: goto applications>>accessories>>terminal [00:01] hi, I'm a little new to ubuntu so if you could bear with me, if I am to install Vista SP1 (I have dual boot), will that stop the grub bootloader from working? [00:01] clearzen, done [00:01] ere4si: what does that do? (it's hard to google) [00:01] Dr_willis: yes, i want to modify the source and recompile [00:01] but will that break upgrades etc? [00:01] antz123: Is vista and ubuntu already installed? [00:01] what tools there are on ubuntu for tutoring a high school kid with interactivity? other than giving the child a vnc access to your desktop? [00:01] or will it get overwritten? [00:01] Ward1983: sudo mkdir /media/mount/ && sudo mount -o loop /dev/dvd /media/mount [00:01] yes there are both installed [00:01] thanks [00:02] has any1 gotten Runescape to work on ubuntu? [00:02] Ward1983: that should work [00:02] narain: lets you set diff aspects of the desktop, panels,menus etc and will override any theme settings [00:02] amenado, not sure i've understood what you're after tbh [00:02] clearzen, i have 2 drives lol [00:02] antz123: Most likely not. But Vista SP1 is still new and I haven't seen or heard much of ubuntu users upgrading. [00:02] antz123: I want to do that myself though... has it been released through microsoft update yet? [00:02] clearzen, one didnt work will try the other now [00:02] Im waiting for Ubuntu Service Pack 1 [00:03] lol [00:03] ArtherArchnix: yes it was released today by microsoft [00:03] Ward1983: which drive is it in? it's prob /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 [00:03] anyone here use macmenu-applet? [00:03] LjL some app that me and a highschool kid can use if I tutor him online, some interactive colloboration, lets say you show him steps to solve a quaratic equation [00:03] M4rotku, thats the Java based MMORPG that runs in a browser? [00:03] clearzen, erm... those should be my harddisks... [00:03] * ArthurArchnix considers rebooting to see what kind of damage microsoft can do for him today [00:03] ere4si: ah, i see. i don't suppose it would let me do things i'd expect to have to do by changing the source of gnome-panel itself? [00:04] can anyone help me get macmenu-applet? [00:04] Dr, yes, that's the one [00:04] ward1983 what does mount command output. Put it in pastebin [00:04] clearzen, no medium found [00:04] ArtherArchnix: I won't install it for the moment, I will wait a bit until I'm sure it will be okay, I cannot afford to lose any files [00:04] Ward1983: but you can see it on your mac? [00:04] M4rotku, i rember someone asking a few weeks ago, and it worked for me.. for the 10 min. i played it. [00:04] narain: I know you can change the panel colour using it - what do you want to do? [00:05] clearzen, yes the files are on there for sure, i dont own a mac, its burned by a friend, i dont have access to a mac [00:05] liniuz1 [00:05] Dr, it's saying: Runescape was unable to find a suitable place to store its temporary files. To solve this please either: [00:05] Thanks for the help all I asked about. I appreciate it. Now it's study time [00:05] clearzen, macs royally s*ck imo [00:05] er wrong chan [00:05] Ward1983: well, if it is telling you that I would suspect it is a failed burn [00:06] clearzen, but he can open it lol, on 2 macs even, a modern core2duop and his old ppc [00:06] Ward1983: what kind of file is it? [00:06] Ward1983: .iso or just data? [00:06] Ward1983, he may of used the HFS or HFS+ filesystem on the disk [00:07] clearzen, video, probably dv or avi, it should be jsut data, its meant as a backup [00:07] just a data backup [00:07] Ward1983: one sec [00:07] ere4si, Dr_willis: what i actually want to do is hack the gnome clock to make it show "fuzzy time" like the kde clock can. i don't see any way to do it other than hacking the source code. the only thing i'm concerned about is doing it in a way that's compatible with the apt package system, so that apt doesn't get confused by a changed binary and/or overwrite my changes. [00:07] (hes a VJ, me too, i got some of his content on DVDs to work with) [00:07] clearzen, sure [00:08] Dr_willis, sorry didnt read your sentence untill now [00:08] narain: there are diff clock apps in synaptic [00:08] Dr_willis, any packages i can install that can handle HFS ? [00:08] Ward1983, Now im not sure how to TELL if he did that or not. there are hfs tools you can use. [00:08] Does qemu work if my guest operational system be ubuntu amd64? [00:08] my host is amd64 too [00:08] Ward1983, I avoide macs like the plague. :0 [00:09] and what about if my host is a i386 machine? [00:09] oh come on [00:09] Dr_willis, me too, but some people think macs are better for some reason [00:09] macs are great [00:09] * Ward1983 pukes [00:09] they're ok [00:09] me [00:09] whats wrong with them? [00:09] Ward1983: sudo mkdir /media/mount/ && sudo mount -o loop -t udf /dev/dvd /media/mount <--try that [00:09] * Ward1983 pukes again, twice as much [00:09] clearzen, ok [00:10] i bet youve never used one [00:10] See I don't bash on any OS [00:10] clearzen, no medium found, but it doesnt even look, it tells that in no time [00:10] hi all, i just installed bittorent and it's not showing up in my menu... [00:10] I use them all [00:10] ere4si: i don't think any of them does what i want [00:11] clearzen, how can i list my DVD drives so i know what they are in /dev ? [00:11] the beauty is you can make your own [00:11] mount [00:11] DrIP: alt+f2 alacarte <-- Menu Editor [00:11] or open /etc/fstab [00:11] Mendi is still having sites blocked that she unchecked. Please go over her account and have the proper filters set for her account [00:11] minimec: ahh thank you [00:11] sorry [00:12] Ward1983, it should be /dev/dvd or /dev/cdrom at least the links to those should be, [00:12] I want to remove django..I installed it via apt-get.. is this the way to do it? sudo-apt remove --purge django? [00:12] How can I install ubuntu 7.10 alongside windows [00:12] Dr_willis, i installed HFSplus but no success [00:13] does avidemux convert only avi files or does it convert any other files as well? [00:13] kris_ph: sudo apt-get remove django [00:13] Ward1983: if that doesn't work editing fstab to include udf option and auto after the mountpoint then a restart would be my only suggestion [00:13] !dualboot > poseidon [00:13] narain: I want to remove all of its traces.. like configurations.. [00:13] clearzen, thats too much lol, thats for tomorrow :) [00:14] Ward1983, perhaps you need to read/use it properly just not install it. [00:14] Hi all. What commands to I need to combine in order to make useradd behave like adduser? [00:14] minimec, where do u write that? [00:14] Ward1983: I understand [00:14] !install | poseidon, [00:14] poseidon,: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [00:14] Kumool: sorry? [00:14] clearzen, its 1.14 in the morning and i have a course tomorrow, and didnt sleep tonoght [00:14] minimec, !dualboot? [00:15] * Ward1983 feels like an addict [00:15] time to roll a smoke :) [00:15] u write it in the terminal on the live cd? [00:15] Ward1983: it's because he burned it with software that uses udf I think [00:15] clearzen, in the end its because hes stupid and shouldnt be allowed near a computer :) [00:16] kris_ph: then yes, 'sudo apt-get remove --purge django' should do it [00:16] does avidemux convert only avi files or does it convert any other files as well? [00:16] clearzen, but ill remember it, so i can explain my problem better tomorrow [00:16] thanx [00:16] minimec u write it in the terminal on the live cd? [00:17] Kumool: Well... I am talking to the bot. Example type /msg ubotu usb in your chat window. The 'bot' will send you some hints for USB. If you want to tell me that you type !usb > minimec [00:17] kris_ph: or actually just 'sudo apt-get purge django' [00:17] narain: just been reading - seems like you will have to do some c++ coding to get that [00:17] Kumool: I don't see your question ... [00:18] nvm [00:18] Dr_willis, lol i forgot to mention something funny: i bought my current system second hand, very, very, very cheap from someone who was gonna buy a mac instead with about half the specs of this machine [00:19] so where would one find necessary v4l2 headers for their particular kernel? [00:19] ere4si: i know, i can do that. what i want to know is that when i do recompile my modified version and replace the original gnome-panel with my version, will it confuse apt when for example an update to gnome-panel comes out [00:20] narain: if the update has a new gnome panel - it will replace the old and overwrite you're work [00:20] Ward1983, i find mac users are 'single taskers' they want a machine that runs the ONE program they want.. and thats it. Linux users are 'generalists' who want stuff that can do it all... :) [00:21] i have a class where a lot of the methods are doing a similar thing... namely: os.chdir(...); try:... finally: os.chdir(...)... i really only need the stuff within the try block. what are my options for simplifying this a bit? [00:21] Dr_willis, that'd be why I'm sitting here trying to get ubuntu+xen+macos going on an apple? Generalizations never work out well ;) [00:22] Dr_willis, still its stupid to sell hardware twice as good and get some crap instead [00:22] it would be nice to have a single method that does the os.chdir(), try/except stuff [00:22] Dr_willis, luckily for me though :D [00:23] hi, i installed ubuntu 7.10 server 5sec ago, and when i run lshw it outputs that CPU 1: Disabled :| [00:23] hello,anyone has a look at this,http://pastebin.com/m249ac4ff,thx [00:23] but it shows CPU info..hmmm [00:23] ere4si: and i suppose there no nice way to handle that except to keep re-merging my changes with every update? i don't mind too much; i imagine what i'm trying to do is not a very common use case. [00:24] Ward1983, thers often a 100% markup on 'apple' hardware.. but i wont go on an apple rant. [00:24] ere4si, hello [00:24] test [00:24] Dr_willis, clearzen thanx for the help, much appreciated, goodnight [00:25] Dr_willis, apple just sells hardware way too expensive, anyway goodnight [00:25] narain: you can just add it to panels as an app from you're home folder - I do that with diif stuff I wrote [00:25] hello,anyone has a look at this,http://pastebin.com/m249ac4ff,thx [00:25] hi icesword :) [00:25] i hate my fuckin pc [00:26] icesword, ... u kinda need to separate the link so that one can click on it [00:26] smallfry: Tomorrow is another day ... ;) [00:26] ok [00:26] u kno like http://??? instead ofhttp://??? [00:26] ya totally minimec [00:26] http://pastebin.com/m249ac4ff [00:26] what should I type in kernel to change file permissions? [00:27] what the hell! why does smallfry get to say badwords and i get banned from saying wtf i mean i dont get it... [00:27] I tried chmod ^^'' [00:27] Uh [00:27] ere4si: ah that sounds like the perfect idea. why didn't i think of that?? :) [00:27] For example, sudo chmod 777 /* [00:27] ere4si: thanks! [00:27] narain: np :) [00:27] AlexHoover sudo chmod 777 filename? [00:27] Yeah [00:27] i dont know kumool i havent gotten a paragraph yet saying this is a swear safe chat [00:28] AlexHoover i'm too newbie to do thing right :| [00:28] AlexHoover cheers [00:28] !webam > Burzredion [00:28] okay i just updated mt ati drivers to the best ones [00:28] !webcam > Burzredion [00:28] can someone help me my css still isnt work [00:28] working [00:28] well it seems so but #Ubuntu-ES i got banned from sayin wtf... and it isnt even spanish so i just dont get it... [00:28] icesword: looks like you need to increase the cache by that error [00:28] This may be odd- but I installed Ubuntu 7 on a Dell PC, and I deleted my original SATA partition, and made 2 primaries (1 swap, 1 ext3) and Ubuntu installed fine and whatnot- however, I have to manually select the harddrive as the boot device every time I bootup. Why is this [00:29] hello there [00:29] ere4si, hmm. [00:29] how can I flush dns ? [00:29] now my steam is crashing [00:29] anyone know how can I flush dns ? [00:29] icesword: tells you to click the "other " tab [00:30] ere4si, thx [00:30] k [00:30] is there a way one can add other appz into the xfce-menu? [00:30] AlexHoover, perhaps the bootable flag needs to be set on one partition. [00:31] Dr_willis: D'oh! I completely forgot about that. Thanks! [00:32] how can i check to se if my 3d gl is working [00:32] AlexHoover, i dont recall ever needing todo that.. but it maybe some quirk with the bios [00:32] in codes [00:32] well, I manually edited the partition table so that's most likely why. [00:32] anything to do with a popup window keeps crashing [00:32] hello! can comebody help me [00:33] somebody* [00:33] how do i add startup scripts to gnome? [00:33] so i can have certain things open when i log on [00:34] hello?

I remember way back when it was totally unstable and borked many a machine (mine included), but I noticed ubotu's anti-envy warning has been softened up, and i've heard quite a few success stories lately, has envy become semi-accepted or what? [00:38] jramsey, anything helpful there? [00:38] kyevan_LCD, will check txs [00:38] does anyone have any ideas on how to install a Linksys WPC11 on a command line installation of ubuntu with no internet connection? [00:38] For anyone thats new to Ubuntu check out Ubuntu Ultimate 1.7, amazing Ubuntu distro with pretty much everything you would need pre installed [00:39] preinstalled /everything/? [00:39] Ademan: The envy team (for envyNG, I believe), worked closely with the ubuntu devs to do stuff properly [00:39] emacs, I hope, isn't. I only need one OS per partition, thanks :P [00:39] kyevan_LCD, ruskin: Ultimate Edition is a hack job, please don't recommend it here. [00:39] Ademan: envy is working fine on my 8800 gts (G92) right now [00:39] Flannel: awesome [00:40] Flannel, I wasn't, I was just pokeing fun at him >_> [00:40] And emacs [00:40] (Emacs is great, but still fun to tease) [00:40] * Ademan coughs [00:40] Hack or not it's great for getting people interested in Ubuntu [00:40] kyevan_LCD: It was mostly directed at him. And I share your os within os thinking. [00:41] what was that quote? "emacs is a great operating system but its text editor sucks" [00:41] lol [00:41] the problem is evil hack jobs are, well, evil hack jobs [00:41] anyone having trouble printing to PDF? when I do nothing ends up in my pdf folder [00:41] Besides, the ability to install easily is there with the apt system, anyway. [00:42] you could probably get the same functionality of ultimate by installing ubuntu then running apt-get install * :P [00:42] hi, how can I know the path of GNAT? [00:42] none of those codes worked [00:43] Ademan: emacs is a great operating system. The only thing it lacks is a text editor. Or something.

I need to make sure that the files that are created in the scans directory are either world read/writable (666) or owned by a particular group (employee). What would you do?

Also, I liked that name... >_> [00:44] nvu was dope [00:45] kyevan_LCD: When Daniel Glazman abandoned it and Fabien Cazenave began developing a fork to keep the code alive. [00:46] kyevan_LCD: It actually hasnt. Nvu sort of turned into abandonware, and kompozer was taken up as a community fork (mostly just bugfixes) at first, and then grew from that [00:46] does anyone have any ideas on how to install a Linksys WPC11 on a command line installation of ubuntu with no internet connection?

What's wrong? [01:18] i have windows..can i use ubuntu as a 2nd OS without installing any other programs besides ubuntu? [01:19] ekaj: you could even try it using the liveCD [01:19] Hmm.. ive been testing out various live cd's this week. and ONE of them had a stand-alone flash player from adobe, which was handy. But i cant seem to find it in any other disrtos/flash anyone know was it part of the flash installs or a stand alone app? [01:19] Hey, how can I transfer files from one Ubuntu computer to another if there is no internet connection? I can bring a router and cable with me but there might not be internet :-/ [01:19] aks: ram isnt very plentiful on my comp =p [01:19] kindofabuzz: I need the driver... not the [01:19] hendrixski, if both have gigabit network cards you can plug in any network cable. [01:19] <[agatha]> ekaj, you can you can i do it with 512 ram... you only can use an os at a time :) [01:19] hendrixski, assign static ips to both. and then copy things over your micro-lan :) [01:20] minimec: oh i don't know the actaul driver [01:20] hendrixski, if no gigibit networking. a router and cable would be handier. [01:20] couldnt i get a dual os, where i choose which i want to use? [01:20] Dr_willis, that sounds complicated. Is there a manual you could point me to? [01:20] Is it true Internet Explorer 7 doesn't work with Wine? [01:20] hendrixski: crossover cable [01:20] hendrixski, complex? plug in a cable.. assign static ip.. use whatever tools you want [01:20] CJS3141: check wine's appdb [01:20] complex would be gettting wireless going. :) [01:20] CJS3141: why the hell would you wanna do that?? [01:20] i have just installed kiba dock, how do i make it so it runson startup?? [01:20] <[agatha]> ekaj, if you install ubuntu an want to keep windows, its possible, it will install a boot loader *(grub) and you can choose which one on startup [01:20] Is there a rule on how long you have to wait before re-asking a question? [01:21] CJS3141: http://appdb.winehq.org/ [01:21] kindofabuzz: I know, I'm no MS fan, but some websites require IE to view. [01:21] ok, thanks =] [01:21] Dr_willis, yeah, I'm bringing a router and cable. but I'm trying this at home, and it's not recognizing the router as a valid connection if there's no internets on it :-( [01:21] i don't get why someone would want IE on there linux box. or hell, even there windows box [01:21] tems: just use your own judgement, most people won't care unless it's less than 3 minutes apart or something, i dunno [01:21] <[agatha]> no worries ekaj :) just before installing backup everything important.. in case there's any problem ;) [01:21] tems: Usually about 15-30 minutes is a good bet. You've gotta give it enough time for new peoople to wake up, etc. [01:21] firefox ftw! [01:22] ok :) [01:22] Flannel: ok modified by your example, how can i apply changes now ? [01:22] hendrixski, be sure you got the pc's pluged in the the lan conectors not the wan one. [01:22] Hi, I installed Ubuntu, rebooted, but I don't get the grub menu to choose if I want to boot XP or ubuntu, it only boots XP automatically, I didn't uncheck the "install bootloader" option in the installer.

If you never touched your /etc/X11/xorg.xonf after the install, you will use the 'mouse' driver. The 'evdev' driver is for devices with extra buttons and the xserver sometimes sometimes has some problems with usb devices, if you don't indicate the exact usb adress of the device.

[01:27] has anyone ever noticed things that take sudo don't always ask for your password? [01:27] hendrixski I hate sudo with a passion [01:27] * tems is very confused now :) Lemme try and catch up so sorry if it takes me a min to reply [01:27] kindofabuzz, it 'caches' the password for like a min or 2. so if you do 2 sudo commands in a row. the 2nd one dosent ask [01:28] kindofabuzz: sudo "remembers" your password for 5 minutes [01:28] hey guys, i wanna do a printscreen, need a program that i can apt-get install quickly [01:28] that'll do the job [01:28] kindofabuzz, The timeout for sudo is configurable [01:28] like i can open synaptic and put in password..log out..open again and it doesn't ask for password [01:28] aks_: i know a way to make it sleep at the appropriate time but i have no experience with thte hibernation as i never or ever will use it.

[01:31] ok what is gksudo? [01:31] Ademan, I thought it was shorter, but that page says 15 [01:31] !gksudo [01:31] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:32] = gksudo for gui programs, sudo for terminal [01:32] oh so i should always gksudo gedit instead of sudo gedit?

If you read some of the trends, Linux is actually the number 1 exploited plat for services. More Apache sites get pounded than IIS. [01:38] OK - that opened up a configuration menu. I try to autodetect and it says "No X Server known for your video hardware. There is either no video hardware installed on this machine (e.g serial console only) or the discover program was unable to determine which X Server is appropriate for the video hardware. This could be due to incomplete information in discover's hardware database, or because your video hardware is not supported by the available X servers [01:38] tems: the vesa driver should work [01:38] also - that error message continues to appear every minute or so saying the same thing and obscuring the screen [01:38] Jordan_U trying to stay away from multiple DEs [01:38] :) [01:39] still trying to get the movie player and vlm to play dvd's [01:39] forgive any idiocy on my part. nearly a complete linux virgin.

[01:44] I can't check right now as I'm not in windows where I downloaded it. Unless there's a root command? [01:45] tems, lsb_release -a [01:45] how goes one install a new splashscreen? I already have the splashscreen manager installed [01:45] Flannel: i think i have ddclient installed === Svenstaro_ is now known as Svenstaro [01:45] tems, lsb_release -a [01:45] i'm in the same workgroup as a win comp in my network. I can see the other comp, but when i navigate it none of the shared folders show up, what could be the reason? (the window$ comp has no firewall) [01:45] Flannel: do i have to make changes to ddclient ? [01:46] after a while i get a "waiting time has expired on the server" or smth like that [01:46] ok, maybe i'm in the wrong place, after watching some of the questions,,, I'm a TOTAL n00b. and my problem has a lot of variables [01:46] !smb > leo_rockw [01:46] orudie: I think ddclient runs occasionally, and not automatically. [01:46] orudie: Does it work if you visit your IP? [01:46] SeaPhor, Pick a place to start and ask [01:46] anyone else having problems with the flash player in firefox locking up the browser only recently? [01:47] not for me atm at least [01:47] yes [01:47] I have a major problem, and I'm wondering if anyone can help [01:47] I have 2 80gb hard drives, when I plug in a third 160gb hard drive, I get GRUB error 17. I have an ABIT mobo that has a problem doing anything if the sata hard drives are not plugged into ports 5/6. Can anyone help?

Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [01:48] I am on 7.10 [01:48] Flannel: yes works by typing ip in the browser [01:48] fiveiron, that is a known problem I've heard ff3 will take care of it [01:48] Flannel: i had it set up with zoneedit and ddclient, i t hought those servers are for when your ip changes [01:48] orudie: Then its just DynDNS that needs to update. You could try manually updating (and even then, I believe it takes a little bit of time to propogate anyway) [01:48] Pasha, are you sure the working two are in the first two sata ports ? [01:48] insomninja: i'm running in ff3. [01:48] insomninja: it will for the most part but still a minor problem in ff3 [01:49] i will try rebooting tho... perhaps some stray processing is hosing me up [01:49] why do people help here for no reason? or benefit Jack_Sparrow [01:49] I just DLed the ISO for 7.1 and am trying to get a VMware to install it [01:49] no, the working two are in the last 2 sata ports.

[01:49] Does anyone know if redirected direct rendering has been fixed for integrated intel graphics? [01:49] Menfest, Because we are just awesome like that :) [01:49] SUPER GRUB does not solve this problem either [01:49] I thought I would try inhere for some help [01:49] manlymatt83: its rewarding to help someone, we want to boraden the horizon of ubuntu and linux [01:49] Itaku: Thats a function of the client [01:49] Pasha: kakasha [01:49] hello [01:49] rofl spasba orduie [01:50] Pasha: ya tozhe pasha [01:50] im conencting through SSH, is there a way to see whats on a TTY terminal on the host PC?

[01:55] soulrider, 'twin' offers a similer feature. but its not as popular [01:55] Dr_willis: thats awesome! [01:55] hi [01:55] SeaPhor: when that happens to me i just reinstall the nvidia drivers using Envy [01:55] soulrider__:yes, you can run multiple screen sessions as well. you connect through pid in that case [01:55] Dr_willis: i think im gonna start running gentoo now that i can admin it from class/work :P [01:55] twin looks more user friendly... [01:55] hey, you guys rock! [01:55] soulrider, you can admin ubuntu the same way. :) [01:55] SeaPhor: did you have a correct res at one point, maybe a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" will fix it [01:55] clearzen: is there some docs thate xplain all this? mind you, i have never sued ssh before [01:56] i want program to download file like flash get in windows [01:56] !envy | SeaPhor also read this [01:56] SeaPhor also read this: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories.

So, Edit that file, and change it to true. [02:02] is there a deb for gnome 2.22 yet? [02:02] im thinking my apt=get locations are somehow changed from the default one. or its really just down.

[02:07] carol: Now you need to give us the URL that you get after you submit [02:07] "Failed to start the X Server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?" as well as that error message, another message appeared over the top of that one and continues to repeat every 30 seconds or so .

There's no guarentee that it will, but its a possibility. [02:09] carol, I've found automatix quite handy [02:10] tems: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:10] yay yay, gparted rocks [02:10] and I've installed Ubuntu on countless machines [02:10] carol: as for the list, it all looks in order as far as the ubuntu repos are concerned. [02:10] Flamekebab: Please don't recommend automatix here. [02:10] Flamekebab: it could break your system [02:10] twistedbeatfreek: still there? [02:11] twistedbeatfreek: still there?

[02:11] tems, open the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist as root in your favorite text editor [02:11] !worksforme [02:11] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [02:12] !automatix > Flamekebab [02:12] well thank you for looking. that makes me think i either need to reboot my router and computer or just that from my location the routers inbetween me and the servers are down. [02:12] Flamekebab: We're not asking you to say you dislike it, we're asking that you don't recommend it here. Unless you personally are planning on being here 24 hours a day to support the issues it causes. [02:12] tems: then add "blacklist bcm43xx" to the end of it [02:12] tems: try adding bcm43xx to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:12] Flannel, I didn't recommend it, I just disagreed that it's always bad [02:12] carol: Which servers is it saying it can't connect to? It should give you a URL, I just need a few. [02:12] I'm having trouble with "sound juicer" in gutsy. Only some of the profiles are available in the "output format" list [02:13] I think Flamekebab is just presenting an option, which is good IMHO [02:13] anyway, my problem was that I've removed my xorg file (well, I renamed it so there isn't one, then restarted the X server) and yet a new one hasn't been generated [02:13] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sound-juicer/+bug/95948 hmmm [02:13] is it possible to make it so that themes in gnome have no effect on how webpages are displayed [02:13] if you don't know what you're doing, don't mess with automatix, but it can be handy for installing a few things, which is why I don't hate it [02:14] CTho: which profile are you looking for? [02:14] Flamekebab: as far as I know it will not generate one. It will use the failsafe instead [02:14] i dont see why they would anyway, but they do [02:14] egc: mp3 [02:14] OK - opening that file now Liberty. Complete linux version so can you please suggest an easy built in text editor [02:14] xim: wtf [02:14] how can i search all text files in a directory for a given phrase "eieio" [02:14] clearzen, this is the odd thing, it's not using the fail safe [02:14] CTho: do you have lame installed? [02:14] egc: yes [02:14] more * | grep "eieio" [02:14] I've never seen anything like it [02:14] egc: looks like a bug [02:14] tems: nano [02:14] complete linux VIRGIN [02:14] not version [02:14] tems: nano or use gksudo gedit if you want gui [02:14] Flamekebab, carol, I've found automatix quite handy amounts to promoting it.. Please stop [02:14] it's 2:15am...forgive me :) [02:14] find . -file_contents "eieio" [02:14] Flamekebab: I've never tried renaming xorg so that may be standard behavior [02:15] CTho: do you have the other plugins used by the mp3 gstreamer pipe installed? [02:15] search_files_for "eieio" recursive-search => :true [02:15] well the even odder thing is, it's using settings not listed in the file [02:15] i even copied the /etc/X11/xorg.conf from this working install to a usb and shut down, unplugged this hdd and plugged in the one in question, copied the /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the usb to /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the problem drive, no change [02:15] egc: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/124437 [02:15] tems: Theres a "Text Editor" in your menu (under accessories, I believe) [02:15] daedra: like they screw up the colors of some webpages, setting text color where I have to highlight it to read it [02:15] CTho: i believe there was a id3mux one or something [02:15] Flamekebab: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:15] even ebay [02:15] Flannel - I'm at root :) [02:15] tems: I also added bcm43xx to DISABLED_MODULES in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common [02:15] can K3b convert mp3 to cda before burning a cd? [02:15] ok made an alias in ~/.bash_aliases with the format alias alias=commad, how do i get them to work? reboot? [02:15] tems: you mean a terminal? [02:15] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60114/ [02:15] nods. $ [02:15] theseus_: grep -r eioio startingpath [02:15] I mean, the Xserver is using settings that it's drawing from somewhere, obviously, but I can't figure out where [02:15] alias alias=command [02:16] tems: sudo nano /path/to/file will open the file with the permissions you need (for normal files, ditch the sudo at the front) [02:16] I like what it's running but I may need to switch it to a different nvidia driver to improve performance [02:16] egc: ah, i see [02:16] !alias [02:16] Flannel: this is what have http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60115/ [02:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about alias - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:17] !K3b [02:17] k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto [02:17] carol: alright, its the third party wine repo that is failing. You should, if you plan on using third party wine in the future, use the winehq repo. Here's a new sources.list you can use: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60116/ [02:17] tems: So for you > gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist < will open the file in a gui editor... I think someone may have said this earlier. [02:17] orudie: Looks good. [02:17] Flannel: but i didnt change it [02:17] tems: then add "blacklist bcm43xx" [02:17] Flannel: this is how it was [02:18] orudie: Where was this file located? [02:18] When I'm jumping about saying "USE AUTOMATIX! IT'S PERFECT!" you can give me stick for it without me complaining, but I see no reason why I can't just say "I find it handy on occasion" in passing without at least three of you complaining at me [02:18] Flannel: /etc/default/ddclient [02:18] is there any way of finding which xorg.conf file is currently in use? [02:18] CTho: those plugins are contained within different packages...make sure you get the multiverse versions also to make sure you get the complete collection [02:18] Flamekebab: Fair enough [02:18] it should work [02:18] egc: yeah, thanks. installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse got it working [02:19] seems like a bug that the UI shows impossible things though [02:19] in gentoo, i am able to find installed packages using "equery f ", is there something similar for aptitude or apt-get? [02:19] apt** [02:19] xoqa: apt-cache search [terms] [02:19] CTho: it's slick from here out though ;) [02:19] xoqa: oh, installde packages. What are you trying to find out regarding them? [02:19] Flannel: where an executable is [02:19] OK - I wrote the line to the blacklist file. Really sorry about the delays with the replies and if I miss anyhting people say. I've spent so long in Windows I've become rusted and worn [02:20] xoqa: sudo dpkg -l | grep package [02:20] my browser has a quirk [02:20] orudie: Interesting. And `sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient start` doesn't work? complains about the daemon line? [02:20] every NEW page I visit presents me with an "Object Moved" page [02:20] do you have to enter desktop backgrounds into Desktop Cube one at a time? [02:20] but links therein do not [02:20] clearzen: that's nice, but it doesn't tell me where the file is located [02:20] xoqa: if your trying to find the path to the binary use which [02:20] just NEW pages [02:20] xoqa: dpkg -L [package] gives you a list of files [02:20] xoqa: e.g. which nano [02:20] ani1: that worked [02:21] ani1: ty [02:21] xoqa: np you also can use slocate to find all occurrences of it e.g. slocate nano [02:21] xoqa: locate packagename? [02:21] clearzen, Flannel thanks as well [02:21] clearzen: i'd have to update the slocate database for that to work [02:21] hmm [02:22] it's a fresh install [02:22] xoqa: man updatedb [02:22] anybody happen to have taken apart their xbox 360 hdd and replaced it with a bigger drive? [02:22] hehe [02:22] !offtopic | egc [02:22] egc: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:22] ani1: thanks :) [02:23] i got webmin installed and bind9 installed. im trying to get a domain called "itakupwns.com" working and how do i make it so i can go to itakupwns.com anywhere in the world? [02:23] Cpudan80: but i'll use ubuntu to transfer the files! [02:23] i just installed a fresh ubuntu on a new HD, but now my old 60gig HD is only displaying as 12gig... is there a way to find out possibly whats going on with that? [02:23] hey flannel. what do i type into console to edit the sources list? [02:23] or what to try first [02:23] carol: Do you have a GUI on the machine? [02:23] egc: you could use dd to a direct copy of the drive (bit for bit) [02:23] yes and terminal [02:23] carol: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:23] Itaku: You go to a registrar and buy that domain [02:23] egc: its not supported in this chan you will need to find a tut..linux is really linux the tools you would use you can find anywhere i would ask in a xbox chan [02:24] carol: alt-f2, then gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:24] * egc gets the hint [02:24] OK - I added those lines to the two files mentioned and I am no longer receiving that extremely annoying error over the top of my screen (Thanks for that guys!!) Unfortunately the main problem remains - the xserver not starting. [02:24] and how to get back to my gui? [02:24] Flannel: i want to register it with bind9 installed on my system [02:24] carol: What did you do to get out of it? [02:25] ya what did you do to get backheh [02:25] Cpudan80: that was my thinking too, except that the drives are of different capacities, so i would lose the extra space on the bigger drive === zippytech__ is now known as zippytech [02:25] carol: ctrl-alt-f7 will get you back, if you ctrl-alt-f[1-6] to get out of it. [02:25] i already know that alt f2 goes to a full screen terminal [02:25] egc: I really dont know - sorry [02:25] no prob [02:25] carol: no, alt-f2 just opens up a run window. [02:25] carol, alt-f2 is a shortcut to run an app [02:26] Flannel: i added my new ip to zoneedit, still nothing :( [02:26] carol: ctrl-alt-f2 takes you to a full screen terminal, and to get back, ctrl-alt-f7 [02:26] Should I post the "X server output to diagnose the problem" ? [02:26] anyone here use puredata if so I have a question concerning puredata ubuntu and gem [02:27] !pastebin | tems [02:27] alt f2 actually gives me a run application window [02:27] tems: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[02:34] Jack_Sparrow, okay [02:34] stevendemorez: I have been reading How-to's saying it works....

I can stand systems that work, systems that don't work but systems that work when they clearly shouldn't? There's no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/ how can things be displaying at a crisp 1360x768 and not the failsafe of 800x600?!

[02:42] SATANAS, risky at best... Very few systems actually must have a flash. Many people try it when they think they are out of options or because someone suggested it. Be sure you need it.. 20% end up as door stops [02:42] jayne: sorry about not directing that [02:42] Quick Q that I'm having a bit of trouble finding a simple answer to: Does the LiveCD include source packages for preinstalled software? Specifically, would the final Hardy LiveCD include the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package? [02:43] lancerocke, FF looks good to me. better than my version.. [02:43] stevendemorez: its just in the list when searching for gstreamer [02:43] will compiz run in virtualbox?

[02:48] Scunizi, im using gutsy, and yeah its a manual addition [02:48] foibles: Thanks. [02:48] Scunizi, ive noticed it uses UUID, but i don't really know how to tinker with that [02:49] carol, ctrl+f7 [02:49] foibles, just another way of identifing the drive.. blkid will give you the id's of your drives & partitions. [02:49] that dont work [02:50] carol, are you using gnome-xchat or just xchat? they are both in the repos.. xchat is more full featured [02:50] Scunizi, should i use UUID instead of /dev/hda1? [02:50] whats the difference [02:50] foibles, you might give it a try.. maybe less conflict. [02:50] !uuid [02:50] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [02:50] just xchat [02:51] Do you guys know of any good websites to help with the learning of Linux?

I'm not very good at compiling so I really can't help with that.. [02:56] LibertyShadow: Thanks! [02:57] lancerocke: notice that a package (ia32-libs-gtk) is not in 7.10, it seems to have been incorporated into ia32-libs, so this is a bit outdated [02:57] jrib: what can i do? [02:57] marshall, you might wait until Hardy is released for upgrade. It may have the newer version and should upgrade automatically [02:57] FAJALO1: System \ Preferences\ Sessions [02:57] ani1 yah i have it set there to run on startup but it isn't [02:58] lancerocke: you are sure /etc/pango32/pangorc and /usr/local/bin/firefox32 are exactly as in the wiki? [02:58] FAJALO1: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-33615.html [02:58] jrib: it is in the guide i linked to [02:58] FAJALO1, doesn't firestarter need root access to run? if so it won't run at startup in "sessions" [02:58] just get a router =) [02:58] lancerocke: the guide is the wiki === noodly- is now known as noodly [02:59] Scunizi: Firestarter is just a configuration utility - it doesn't need to run in the background. [02:59] FAJALO1: the answer is a link in the forum pointing to here http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php#trayicon [02:59] jrib: how can i tell if it is exactly how it is in the wiki?

It shows all the drives however it insists on setting one drive as a slave so it won't start the array [02:59] lancerocke: pastebin them if you wish [02:59] tonyyarusso, ah ok.. my bad [02:59] any ideas? [02:59] jrib: can u tell me what to look for [02:59] tonyyarusso if firestarter is not running, theres no firewall runing [03:00] Menfest: iptables is the firewall, and is built into the kernel. [03:00] !firewall | Menfest [03:00] Menfest: 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). [03:00] tonyyarusso and you wont get stats of attacks and blocked ips triying to attack [03:00] tonyyarusso ic [03:00] jrib: http://pastebin.com/m7787271f [03:01] tonyyarusso so even the firestarted is not runing. its no problem? [03:01] Menfest: you can test for yourself after booting and before running firestarter: sudo iptables -L lists all the active iptable rules [03:01] Menfest: stats I'll give you - although there might be some logging level you could set. (/me doesn't really care who's being blocked, as long as they are) [03:01] nickrud ok. [03:01] Menfest: conky could always do that for you ;) [03:01] gack. more desktop clutter [03:01] ani1: ok so if nothing comes back then am i good? [03:01] ani1 conky ?

Got message "no processes killed" [03:04] Scunizi: -_- [03:04] acidburn: if you do that and still don't have the panels, do alt-f2 gnome-panel [03:04] marshall, -_- ? [03:04] Menfest: then you can run firestarter, I guess. There are also various log tools that will mail you summaries [03:04] Has anybody had any success building/running MonoDevelop on Gutsy?

Skype 2.0 detects it and produces an image, but I haven't been able to get ubuntu to run it properly. Easycam won't install a driver for it. Any ideas? [03:05] Menfest: but I agree with tonyyarusso , as long as they're blocked I'm happy [03:05] Scunizi: im crap at compiling too [03:05] marshall, ah. emoticons I'm only partially good at.... === NDPMB is now known as NDPMacBook [03:05] ani1 nickrud tonyyarusso, what tools exactly. and firestarter has a bug. it gets shutdown and has to manually start up. [03:05] Scunizi: mm [03:05] nickrud ic [03:05] acidburn: then open a terminal, type gnome-panel & , then type exit. Should get your panels back [03:06] haha, there's someone named acidburn in here [03:06] LOL [03:06] "Hackers" [03:06] mmm acid [03:06] lancerocke: I get no warnings as you do. Can you close all instances of firefox? Run 'ps -ef | grep firefox' after you do that to verify they are indeed all closed [03:06] be careful!!!1 [03:07] Menfest: I prefer to keep conversations on the main line [03:07] same [03:07] jrib: they are all closed [03:07] jrib: danny@danny-desktop:~$ ps -ef | grep firefox [03:07] danny 6052 5861 0 23:07 pts/0 00:00:00 grep firefox [03:07] danny@danny-desktop:~$ [03:08] Thanks. gnome-panel did the trick. [03:08] Menfest: you might like fwanalog , there's also logcheck which tells you much more than just firewall stuff [03:08] lancerocke: and now when you start firefox32 you still receive warnings immediately? [03:08] nickrud ok [03:08] jrib: yes [03:08] nickrud pm?

[03:11] can you help me [03:11] lancerocke: use one of the engines that is in the ia32-libs package? [03:11] im kinda a noob lol [03:11] Spagbol, you have to ask a question to get any answers.. [03:11] kk [03:11] jrib: i dont think that is a fix [03:12] how do i install the kde interface? [03:12] Anyone know how to add 2 panels? I installed compizconfig and want to try the cube. Only have 2 panels currently. [03:12] Spagbol, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:12] acidburn: ccsm [03:12] lancerocke: alternatively, you can figure out how ia32-libs is created and emulate that for your engine [03:12] Spagbol, then log out and change session to kde [03:12] lancerocke: why are you using 64bit, and not 32bit? [03:13] jrib: you have been of help. thank you. i will be back l8r [03:13] thanx [03:13] of subject here, but how can i make chatzilla automatically identify me with Nickserv? [03:13] off [03:13] jrib, sounds like he didn't want to answer the question.. probably just tinkering. [03:14] Hey guys - I have determined that under windows my display driver is an "Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family" and it appears that is not one of the types on the xserver-xorg configuration [03:14] kindofabuzz: http://blogs.sun.com/edwingo/tags/irc otherwise google it..its in the faq [03:15] i need an xp bootsplash. i found some on kdelooks.org, but it looks like they just show screenshots. anyone know where an actual *.so of it could be? [03:15] ccsm sets up compiz but don't you need to have 4 panels to use the cube? [03:15] Any ideas on how to remedy that? Some guy on the web had some joy typing :sudo apt-get install 915resolution xserver-xorg-video-intel [03:15] hey guys [03:15] but that doesn't work for me. [03:15] acidburn: right click the applet in the corner and go to prefs then click columns twice [03:16] acidburn, I use three.. nice triangle [03:16] heh [03:16] how do i know all drivers are installed and working? [03:16] tems: you installed the packaged, but did you set the resolution accordingly? [03:17] Spagbol, does it work? if so then it's good to go. [03:17] yes [03:17] Spagbol: Hardware Information in System can sometimes give you a clue. [03:17] sort of [03:17] Spagbol: what piece of hardware is acting odd? [03:17] sound and graphics [03:17] I don't follow? I think I set the resolution properly but I may have been wrong. Can I check? [03:17] There's no applet in any of the corners [03:18] Spagbol: what do you know about your sound hardware? [03:18] hey guys can someone help e [03:18] JoCo_: this is the place. [03:18] Spagbol, what kind of video card do you have? [03:18] acidburn: its the multidesktop in the (usually) bottom right [03:18] i think its ac97? [03:18] Spagbol: it should work just fine. Are you having issues recording? [03:18] when i boot into my linux mint partition a terminal fullscreen comes up and say hdb: drive not ready for command right after the liinux mint splash screen [03:18] acidburn: its called workspace switcher [03:19] then it goes idle black [03:19] no sound comes from both speakers and headphones at same time its really annoying [03:19] Spagbol: have you checked alsamixer to make sure mute isnt on [03:19] but my xp partition still works and the ubuntu used to i think I installed a driver or something, restarted then it was no good [03:19] Bottom right has 2 panels but right click does nothing. [03:19] ani1, he gets sound out of speakers and headphones at the same time.. mute wouldn't be on. [03:20] Is there a program for Linux like Nero Vision? If there is, does it support DVD-VR? [03:20] !derivatives | JoCo_ [03:20] Spagbol: speakers and headphones at the same time? [03:20] JoCo_: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [03:20] why are all my videos playing black and white? [03:20] i meant sound comes from both [03:20] not no sound sorry [03:20] eh my mistake i misread [03:20] LinuxMonkey: alright thanks anyway [03:20] Some_Person, what is DVD-VR? [03:20] Spagbol: lemme think... [03:20] I just tried the gparted live CD, it sees my 60gig as a 13gig, i also checked my bios and now my bios is seeing it as a 13gig as well. [03:21] dabbill: 13 gig isn't a barrier, something else is going on therre. [03:21] Scunizi: It is a non-standard format for DVDs [03:21] hi i cant mount my ipod in amarok or get my bookmark links to work in konqueror. [03:21] yeah sounds quite dodgy if bios is reading it as that [03:21] Anyone know how to add 2 panels to the desktop? Have 2 and want 4. [03:21] Broam, i know, thats what i am tryin to figure out, but i dont know what to try to see whats going on [03:22] dabbill: do you have data on that drive, or is it brand new/formatted? [03:22] hi all [03:22] hello all, what is the simplest command to ask what kind of hard drives I have in my computer? [03:22] Scunizi: It would highly convience me if such program would support it, as my TV's DVD burner records to DVD-RAMs in the -VR format. [03:23] jfenwick: "df -h" [03:23] Broam, my old linux install, i got a bigger drive today, installed linux on it, hooked up the 60gig to copy my old files off it, but its only being seen as a 13gig, and i cant get my files off it [03:23] Any ideas on how to remedy that? Some guy on the web had some joy typing :sudo apt-get install 915resolution xserver-xorg-video-intel. didn't work for me though as it said no such package. is there a way to put the driver on a cd maybe and transfer it over? [03:23] anyone? [03:23] dabbill: Did you have multiple partitions? [03:23] pau2: repeat question? [03:23] Some_Person, I was just checking for some links.. I don't know if this will help but.. http://lifehacker.com/software/linux/rip-dvds-in-linux-the-semi+easy-way-330983.php [03:23] Broam: I tried that, but it doesn't tell me what kind of device it is. Like, I want know whether it's a Western Digital, etc [03:23] Hey guys - I have determined that under windows my display driver is an "Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family" and it appears that is not one of the types on the xserver-xorg configuration [03:23] Broam, yes [03:23] jfenwick: System -> Hardware inforrmation [03:23] all my videos are playing black and white === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [03:23] dabbill: would that do it? [03:23] dabbill: did you have one 13GiB partition? [03:24] dabbill: it might be that one of the other partitions just simply isn't mounte [03:24] Broam: cool, thanks [03:24] pau2: what codec/forrmat? [03:24] Broam, it shows the 3 partitions, 2 are 5gig [03:24] Scunizi: I have no need to rip DVDs [03:24] Some_Person, just burn? [03:24] dabbill: whoa, wtf [03:24] Broam, but i never had any 5gig partitions on it [03:24] anybody here use alpine mail client ? [03:24] also im having problems using my ext hard drive [03:24] Scunizi: Correct. [03:24] Broam, yea thats what i am sayin lol [03:24] Spagbol: fire away [03:24] Broam: right now I am playing a DVD [03:24] dabbill: what file system? [03:24] I'm having problem mounting a drive in fstab. It won't start on boot, but mounts great after "sudo mount -a" here is the fstab line in question: mythtvfs#/media/Storage/Media/RecordedTV /mnt/mythtvfs fuse user,auto,host=127.0.0.1 0 0 [03:24] and its b/w [03:24] Scunizi: I would like to burn AVI files to DVDs [03:24] well i just cant use it [03:25] my ssl cert stuff for postfix got all messed up after apt-get dist-upgrade.. is there something I need to re-enable.. something about modules [03:25] Broam, ext3 [03:25] pau2: That is really strange. Have you tried multiple dvds? [03:25] Some_Person, AVI to dvd should be able to be done with k3b [03:25] Broam, and swap [03:25] yeah it wont mount [03:25] Broam: yes [03:26] is there some command to run after dist-upgrade? something about re-enabling modules? [03:26] Scunizi: Is k3b a KDE program? :| I don't like to use KDE programs in GNOME unless absolutely necessary. [03:26] anyone know about mythtvfs? [03:26] Broam, its almost like the firmware on the drive got hosed [03:26] pau2: what video carrd do you have? [03:26] dabbill: entirely possible. Have you tried a live cd? [03:26] Scunizi: Also, does k3b support DVD-VR? [03:27] so my external hdd wont mount and its formatted under ntfs [03:27] hi [03:27] dabbill: what's the drive interface? IDE? [03:27] anybody know how i can check email on alpine very often ? so like continuously ? right now i have to keep a browser window open all the time [03:27] Broam, IDE [03:27] Broam, current system drive is SATA [03:27] Some_Person, it is.. there's also gnome-baker or something similar.. never tried DVD-VR in k3b.. but on reading looks like the VR format just allows editing.. is that the only format dvd that your player supports? [03:27] Broam, IDE as secondary [03:27] Broam: Intel graphics.... it was working well and then all of a sudden it went b/w [03:28] pau2: recent upgrades? how's heat? [03:28] Scunizi: My recorder will only read DVD-RAMs if they are recorded in the -VR format. And I am able to record in -VR mode in Nero Vision on Windows. [03:28] dabbill: How are you connecting the IDE drive? [03:28] Broam: nothing that I know of [03:28] straight to the mobo [03:29] pau2: there was an intel card patch recently. I don't have any intel hardware [03:29] Broam, Almost wondering if i dont have it fully pluged in or some thing stupid [03:29] pau2: but I figured I'd least be able to triage. [03:29] Some_Person, I've been searching www.google.com/linux .. ever tried that link? It can help narrow down things to just linux apps. [03:29] Scunizi: heh, i forgot about google linux [03:29] dabbill: Rule #1. Check the cable. Rule #2. No seriously, it's cheap and fails a lot. CHECK THE CABLE :) [03:29] Broam: but why would it work and then just break like this? [03:29] pau2: driver bug if you updated. Or something spontaneously failed in your hardware. [03:30] Broam, lol i know all to well about that [03:30] configure: error: A working installation of Ogg Vorbis could not be found. obviously that means i need to get Ogg Vorbis, so i checked Synaptic and installed what seemed to be codecs for Ogg Vorbis but what im trying to compile is still saying i dont have it. [03:30] anyone point me in the right direction? [03:30] pau2: I'm sorta struggling to figure out why it would do that. [03:30] Broam, its just hard to get to this case and i am being lazy =p [03:30] Broam, BRB checking the cable lol [03:30] Karsyth: they should just come with. But you might need the development headesr [03:30] Scunizi, this one is fun: http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/ [03:30] Karsyth: what program are you using ./configure on? [03:31] Broam: im trying to install stepmaniacvs [03:31] Broam: and im doing it from source because the other one is ghetto [03:31] Karsyth: You need the libvorbis development headers... [03:31] Broam: alright [03:32] Karsyth: you should be able to find them as something like libvorbis-dev [03:32] Karsyth: does stepmania use SDL? [03:32] Scunizi: hmmm, looks like there is no -VR support in Linux :-( [03:32] Broam: im not sure what SDL is, how would i find out if it does? [03:32] anyone know about quakenet.org? Every channel I've joined there has lots of people, but no activity at all. Do I need a user/pass or something to see the activity in the channel? I'm very new to IRC. [03:32] Karsyth: if there's a version in the package repos, check its dependencies [03:33] have a problem with my vid card mobile intel(r) GMA X3100 on ubuntu gusty can anyone help? === sin|g| is now known as sin|gx1| [03:33] Lots of problems with intel chips today [03:33] Spartan, we will need to know what the problem is first <.< [03:33] MUS4SHIII: there's a lot mroe people herer than the ones who arer talking. They could just be idle [03:33] kubuntu desktop is gunna take up lots of space lol [03:34] I guess so. [03:34] MUS4SHIII: it's kinda off topic, but check their mailing lists to see when they're most active [03:34] anyone know anything about mythtvfs mounting in the fstab? [03:34] MUS4SHIII: this place doesn't rreally ever stop hopping [03:34] cannot change any res or screen, no dual screen or extended desktop or advanced settings like fusion [03:34] Scunizi: looks like i'm forced to either use my scratched up -RWs or go to Windows :-( [03:34] I've noticed [03:34] lots of linux help needed I guess [03:35] not counting the op spam [03:35] Spartan, you will need to probably manually edit the list of resolutions. For multi-monitor, I was only able to get it working by using a propriatery driver from my card's manufacturer [03:35] i am upgradeing to 7.10 from livecd and system ask me if i want change /etc/login.defs , should i accept ? [03:36] Some_Person: I wonder if DVD-VR is one of those standards that's locked down. [03:36] m1r: Give it a shot. [03:36] broam tnx [03:36] Hi all [03:36] m1r: let me look at my file real quick [03:36] Hey guys - I have determined that under windows my display driver is an "Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family" and it appears that is not one of the types on the xserver-xorg configuration [03:36] broam ok [03:36] this is what i have found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3451249 [03:36] Any ideas on how to remedy that?

[03:36] will this still work? [03:37] I just started using GPG. What are some good practices regarding the private key in terms of storage and backup? Should I keep it on my workstation, or on external media? [03:37] we have the same prob terms: [03:37] m1r: if you didn't modify this file, go ahead and let it update [03:37] Without going too much into details here, it's worth a shot [03:37] Scunizi: locked down? [03:37] broam , i never touched it , i set change now [03:37] Krozy: To be honest there's a lot of talk about smart cards these days. too bad the readerrs are pricey [03:37] m1r: usually a good sign [03:38] i cant get my ipod 3rd gen to mount on desktop, amarok to open, or get my bookmark links to open in konqueror [03:38] broam, still 2:40 to wait :) [03:38] can anyone help me with mounting mythtvfs in my fstab? [03:38] tems: this is the website I got to with somekinda info on our problem [03:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3451249 [03:39] Broam, Changed the IDE cable, and still bios seeing it as a 13gig. [03:39] thanks mate!! [03:39] PLEASE HELP?! [03:39] Krozy: the only thing I can ercommend is making a revocation certificate, putting it on some cheap USB thumb drive (floppy disk, etc.) and giving it to a trusted party (safe deposit box, lawyer) [03:39] Spartan, did you try that? [03:39] ncfi1013: you have 3 problems. :) [03:39] ncfi1013: What have you found on Google? [03:39] If you were in the same room, I'd offer you some of this joint, but you'll have to make-do with thanks [03:39] Broam: So if I had the resources, you'd recommend setting up smart cards? Wouldn't I need a reader, or a portable one to decrypt from each machine I use? [03:40] does anyone know how to defrag in ubuntu [03:40] Krozy: Yes. You would need a reader at each machine, with drivers. [03:40] Spagbol, why? [03:40] Spagbol: you don't [03:40] lol [03:40] Spagbol: you generally don't need to unless it's a FAT32 filesystem [03:40] Spagbol: no need for ext [03:40] cuz im using wubi [03:40] Spagbol: you don't. :) [03:40] i don't know what to look for [03:40] and i want to increae the performance a bit [03:40] Krozy: if you get a rreader with a pinpad you can not even type your pin on the host system. [03:40] why [03:40] where does preload normally download and install to? [03:41] NOPE NOT YET 2nd day with ubuntu and 3rd day on IRC [03:41] hey what is the easiest way to web- enable a java program [03:41] Spagbol, the filesystem is considered to be good enough to not have to defrag [03:41] Krozy: but the low-hanging-fruit answer is "make a backup revocation certificate in case your computer is stolen/confiscated" [03:41] is a java applet the best way to go ? [03:41] How can I ping something using a specific interface? [03:41] ncfi1013: Hold on, I'll see if I can find a URL for you. [03:41] Hey has anyone seen a driver for the ATi 3870HDs yet? [03:41] what how srely its the same as anything else [03:41] Spagbol: I've been using a computer since Dapper and it's 1.3% fragmented [03:41] can anyone help me with my fstab? [03:41] the more files are fragmented the longer the access times [03:41] ncfi1013: http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-use-an-ipod-with-ubuntu [03:41] Broam: I will keep those thoughts in mind for future use on the card reader. But will likely pursue the revocation certificate in the short term [03:41] Spagbol: the file system takes pains to not fragment files [03:41] where does ubuntu normally install to? [03:41] See if that helps? [03:41] Spagbol, I personally would think so too, but without a utility to view the fragmentation, I can only go by what others say [03:42] Krozy: the gpg documentation is pretty good. FSFE has a lot of docs on the smartcard [03:42] ok thanks redheron [03:42] how hard is it to rewrite a java program to a java applet ? [03:42] where does preload normally install to? [03:42] so your saying the filesystem stops files from getting fragmented? [03:42] in the first place [03:42] Spagbol: yep.. [03:42] thats very cool [03:42] Yep. [03:42] lol [03:42] yep [03:42] Broam, Changed the IDE cable, and still bios seeing it as a 13gig, any other ideas what i can try? [03:42] lol [03:42] It's all how the filesystem works. [03:43] dabbill: Hmm.. [03:43] ntfs is supposed to do that too.. linux has always done it better though [03:43] Dabbil, what is your issue? [03:43] Fishscene: any help would be greatly appreciated [03:43] How can I test a specific interface for internet connectivity? [03:43] jumpers on hdd [03:43] check jumpers [03:43] Spartan, did you try the links you posted? [03:43] Fishscene: he's got a 60GB disk with 3 partitions showing up as 13GB in BIOS [03:43] Dabbil, what Musashii said [03:43] Spagbol: but have you defraged your windows FS that is hosting wubi? [03:43] hai [03:43] what about getting amarok to open or my bookmarks in konqueror to open [03:43] yep [03:43] Double check those jumpers [03:43] ubuntu rules [03:43] no i don't know what to do. don't understand it [03:43] jumpers never got moved when when i was useing it as my main drive [03:43] ncfi1013: Have to get iPod to recognize first. [03:43] the cable never even got taken off [03:43] maybe its fallen out === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAL85 [03:44] sometimes they get very loose [03:44] what about getting amarok to open or getting my bookmarks in konqueror to open [03:44] i just disabled it in the bios when i installed on my new drive [03:44] is the repo flash-plugin 64-bit? [03:44] ncfi1013: One issue at a time. :-) [03:44] Make sure it's set to Master/Slave/Cable Select (whichever is appropriate) [03:44] cottima: it's wrapped. So no. [03:44] if it is seen that way in bios it must be hardware related [03:44] dabbill: do you have another computer that you can try the drive in? I'm looking for easy solutions before I go "wow this thing is toasted" [03:44] Hey when you use apt-get where does the exicutable usually go? [03:44] Quick question, why would someone choose to install Ubuntu Server 5.10 instead of the most recent release? Is it because of the LTS? [03:44] ncfi1013: If it can't see the iPod, then it can't import... if Ubuntu can see it, then perhaps amarok has a chance. [03:44] Fishscene: 2nd day with ubuntu so im very green with ubuntu [03:45] try a different cable, maybe that one got crimped or something [03:45] no ide ports on my windows computer :( [03:45] spartan7, welcome! [03:45] Spartan, understandable [03:45] im thinking a bios update if its not latest or somethings wrong with hardware eg hdd ram motherboard [03:45] digerati: 6.06 is LTS, not 5.10 [03:45] doubtful processor [03:45] ythe1300: it variesm but it's usually in /usr/bin. "dpkg -L package" will tell you exactly what files installed [03:45] digerati: 6.06 is LTS.. so not even that makes sense [03:45] have you smart tested the drive? [03:45] thnx, 3rd day with IRC to boot LOL [03:45] erm, my bad [03:45] *varies, [03:45] broam wrapped? it will still work on 64-bit though, right? [03:45] dabbill: Hmm. BIOS update might be in order.

[03:48] Hey guys - I have determined that under windows my display driver is an "Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family" and it appears that is not one of the types on the xserver-xorg configuration [03:48] at least when flash crashes now it's pretty easy to kill and restart firefox.. [03:48] hi tiptoe_ice [03:48] zcat[1]: I hear that if you have ffmpeg installed you can view youtube. The gNewSense guys got it working [03:48] tiptoe_ice: Hey [03:48] Any ideas on how to remedy that? Some guy on the web had some joy typing :sudo apt-get install 915resolution xserver-xorg-video-intel. didn't work for me though as it said no such package. is there a way to put the driver on a cd maybe and transfer it over? [03:48] cottima: If it doesn't crash I'd say it works better. right-click exit blows my mind [03:48] Thank you Broam. [03:48] tems: try searching for it (sudo aptitude search) [03:48] anyone have any fstab experience? [03:49] tems your vid card is a mobile intel(r) GMA X3100 ????

My other laptop's display driver won't even let me get to this stage...it's not supported at all [03:55] ahh [03:55] Just trying to get this installed on my gf's laptop [03:55] but it does mount with "sudo mount -a", it just doesn't work on boot up [03:56] ok sorry new to all this and confused the link you sent me didn't load in the loading progress window and the ipod still isn't showing on the desktop and amarok still isn't opening [03:56] MUS4SHIII: it looks like it should be /media/Storage/Media/RecordedTV /mnt/mythtvfs [03:56] wow kubuntu is kool [03:56] !gutsysources | tems (if aptitude can't find intel, you have at least universe and main unselected) [03:56] MUS4SHIII: hmm. maybe it's trying to mount before the server is started? [03:56] tems (if aptitude can't find intel, you have at least universe and main unselected): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). [03:57] MUS4SHIII: you could add something ot /etc/rc.local I think. Ask the channel, I don't know much about startup scripts yet [03:57] I have no access to xserver at all [03:57] ncfi1013: dmesg | grep Apple [03:57] tems: recovery console you can test X by typing "startx" [03:57] ncfi1013: That as one command [03:57] broam: I posted the error messages [03:57] tems: don't do that a lot as you are starting an X session as root [03:57] broam: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60118/ [03:57] tems: I missed, repost? thanks [03:57] /etc/rc.local is that my msconfig? [03:58] MUS4SHIII: ask channel where you would put a command that you want to rrun at startup at the end of your startup tasks [03:58] MUS4SHIII: I'm quite certain it's trying to mount a disk when the server ris not running yet. It's a hack but if it works, more power to it [03:58] anyone know how to run a startup bash command as root without being asked for password? [03:58] sudo?

My nVidia GeForce4 MX 4000 is supposed to be supported but the binaries, nvidia-glx and legacy all dont work. [04:01] Broam: k [04:01] bmclean: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, pick "nv" as your driver. It has no 3d accel but it will work long enough for you to figurer out what's going on [04:02] Ashfire908: what video hardwarer?

[04:20] There are many ways. The easiest way uses GPG keys [04:20] tritium, isnt there somethign in that you cant threat me for no reason? [04:20] and a launchpad account doesn't hurt [04:20] ^ [04:20] thats how [04:20] is there a way to change the screen that comes up to enter the user name and password [04:20] i haev a launch pad account [04:20] then reg a gpg key [04:20] kumarphilly: there were none [04:20] prettyricky: yes...

[04:22] broam , it asks me again the same to replace , but /etc/sysctl.conf [04:22] individual_eleve: it's also going to be a little slow most likely. if you put it on the same cable as your 80GB drive, it can slow down the transfers of that drive [04:22] m1r: did you modify that file?

[05:42] it persists after you log out and back in? [05:42] mariooliveira: did u try write in your system login pass ? [05:42] DocMangler, like, log out entirely, or just close the terminal? [05:43] i want to "uninstall" ubuntu by deleting its partitions and resize the windows partition to the drives full capacity, is this safe to do or do i risk losing data? [05:43] i had to log out entirely, but my problem wasn't the same key as yours [05:43] is there a workaround for the 'flash freezes after 2 seconds' bug? [05:43] or an update from somewhere? [05:43] but you can try that, it fixed mine [05:43] mlr yes [05:43] Back in a bit, so I can check. [05:43] it seems to strike intermeitnently [05:43] also, try using a different [05:43] wait [05:43] before you do that [05:43] close terminal [05:43] to kose maderet [05:43] i seem to recall mine was only in shell mode [05:44] i used regular linux console and it worked fine [05:44] IRC-deltager, it probably depends on where the windows partition and ubuntu partitions are [05:44] but haven't had the problem again with shell either ;) [05:44] im trying to add a new printer and it asks me password for localhost [05:44] im using admin group [05:44] if the windows partition is before the ubuntu ones [05:44] Marupa what terminal are you using? [05:44] Nada. Same thing. [05:44] then i think it will owrk ok [05:44] LetterRip_: windows is on the first partition, then ubuntu / and /swap [05:44] bash. [05:44] hmm [05:45] but is it KDE? [05:45] gnome [05:45] ok, I don't know how that one works [05:45] IRC-deltager, then i *think* you can boot into windows and have it fix the partion table [05:45] try changing the schema [05:45] I can try the kde terminal program. [05:45] yeah the kde one if you have it [05:45] i did that a number of years ago with a redhat install [05:45] ok [05:45] but i'd ask someone else for sure :) [05:46] after you open it, select session, and select new linux console [05:46] it'll open a new tab, try it in there and see if you still have that [05:46] Ow...blind. Konsole doesn't abide by my WM colors. [05:46] but i could just delete the linux partitons and then use disk manager in windows to make them ntfs, wouldn't that be safer? [05:47] IRC-deltager, when you boot do you get the grub or lilo boot loader or the windows one [05:47] Kyro, grub [05:47] i know about fixmbr === shawn__ is now known as shawnharn === VoX is now known as vox [05:49] Hi folks, looking to install sendmail, what's the easiest way to do this? [05:49] I'm guessing sudo aptitude sendmail? [05:49] IRC-deltager, what you said should work, but it depends if windows recognizes the linux partitions [05:49] which I dont think it does [05:49] it may allow you to view them and it may name them but it probably wont let you delete/modify/view them [05:49] i'm looking at menu.lst, and i see: root=UUID=.. what is that? shouldn't that be something like /dev/hda3? [05:49] Standardista: Not something can explain with one sentence for configuring, see guide to configure, synaptic to install. [05:50] ok [05:50] Sure thing RichardL_. [05:50] that UUID is the unique id of each drive [05:50] IRC-deltager, probably easier to use something lke parition magic in windows [05:50] to fix it up [05:50] it changes after you change partitions etc.... [05:50] hello [05:51] but it stays the same otherwise, grub uses that to id your drive [05:51] okay.. wtf is this bullcrap. "sudo: unable to resolve host 0pt1mu5" [05:51] setting HOSTNAME doesn't change anything [05:51] DocMangler: interesting.. i've never seen it before [05:51] there's a few great websites on configuring grub [05:51] are you trying to customize it?? [05:52] it took me about an hour of reading to do it, but i got it displaying a nice pic now [05:52] DocMangler: i just configured my kernel [05:52] hello [05:52] ok, sec ill find a good site i used before [05:52] heh gksudo works at least [05:52] it's got a nice walkthrough for that [05:52] cool [05:52] cool [05:52] scratch that. gksudo fails === OSUKid7 is now known as zachallia [05:53] from indo [05:53] can chatt === zachallia is now known as OSUKid7 [05:53] from [05:53] Is there any way to make gnome-terminal blink and/or send an urgent flag on bell?

[05:57] oh one thing [05:57] thank's xoqa [05:57] bye [05:57] heh. sure thing yd [05:57] it is easy to screw it up [05:57] so on that page, there's a link [05:57] nickrud: err i meant thanks for helping him [05:57] to the Ultimate Boot Disk [05:57] get the .iso [05:57] and burn the image [05:58] if you have a prob, you can start any of your os's via the cd [05:58] i could just boot into my a live cd :) [05:58] if you delete it from the places sidebar, it only leaves the sidebar. It doesn't delete the folder [05:58] aye that works too [05:58] -a [05:58] i actually tested all my grub reboots on a flash drive [05:58] i've messed up my grub plenty of times, but i've never seen uuid [05:58] soldats: no problem, I'm working from memory myself. I use the spacial nautilus myself [05:58] in it* [05:58] hahaha [05:59] yeah, actually i think i didn't see it either the first few times [05:59] that's a good idea [05:59] nickrud: but the thing is, i can't just right-click and delete anything from the menu [05:59] nickrud: i use DWM now so my memory is fading :) [05:59] hello yd [05:59] if i right-click the only thing that happens is that my menu jumps up and away [05:59] it may have been added after, i think... it's optional [05:59] but i will NOT swear to that [05:59] yd: #ubuntu-id is an indonesian channel [05:59] sjovan: there maybe be a .config folder somewhere with a places folder in it to edit it [05:59] sjovan: again, you do it from the file manager. [06:00] nickrud: and how should i do that? Is there a "places" folder with links in it or something? [06:00] where can I find the program screenlets? [06:00] did marupa make it back yet? [06:01] I wanted to install new screenlets [06:01] i need help with ubuntu installation [06:01] sjovan: there's a panel on the left side of the file manager; just above it there's a bar you can choose any of places, tree, emblems, information, maybe more [06:01] does anyone know a way to download a file via http:// from bash? [06:01] JbCrash: what's the problem? [06:02] i might be able to help some jb, im still a noob [06:02] but i did a bunch of installs in the last 2 weeks [06:02] lol. [06:02] DocMangler: that may mean you're the wrong person to help,. :) (just kidding..) [06:02] i using vista now..in C: and...i hv free partition in D and F...ok..now if i boot 5.04 cd..how ubuntu will detect my vista? [06:02] can someone tell me how to play divX files in gusty? [06:02] hey, i loved it so much [06:02] why not install it a dozen times??? [06:02] i dowan lost any files in vista [06:02] nickrud: a, thanx. Haven't seen that panel before. Now i know what you are talking about. Thanx a lot :) [06:03] JbCrash: 5.04?.. [06:03] actually, 1 to my dad's 2 on my boxes, my gf's box, a usb flash [06:03] hahah [06:03] startkeylogger [06:03] DocMangler: gotcha.. [06:03] tacosalad: VLC works nice [06:03] JbCrash: ubuntu should detect your vista system [06:03] yes..ths a cd i hv now.. version 5.04 for AMD64/EM64T [06:03] sjovan: i've got VLC on here, but i get a green screen, just audio [06:03] Does ubuntu detect OSX86? [06:03] and add it to it's bootloader [06:04] xoqa its that any option to detect my free partition? [06:04] or do I have to do it manually? [06:04] JbCrash: the best way to insure you don't lose anythijng is to back everything up.. the chances of losing something is slim, but if you start getting wreckless, you'll have a problem [06:04] startkeylogger [06:04] JbCrash: it should give you an option to make a separate partition [06:04] tacosalad:wierd... what format is this file? I only ahve issues with realmedia files (had to download that player as well). [06:04] ForgottenSin: ? [06:04] SHITS AND GIGGLES [06:04] JbCrash: that version of ubuntu is extremely old, you're going to run into problems installing it... closed repositories, etc... [06:04] quçt [06:04] IndyGunFreak yes..me doing backup now before insert ubuntu cd [06:04] quit [06:04] its avi, but divX codec, plays fine on my vista, but only audio here.. [06:04] tacosalad: Are you shure it's nothing wrong with the file you try to run? [06:04] the 7.10 x86 is running great on my machine jb [06:04] IndyGunFreak any other way to install new version? [06:05] Does anybody know the name of the packages I should install in order to control compiz-fusion desktop effects? [06:05] JbCrash: well thast good... but i would not install 5.04 [06:05] where can I find the program to install new screenlets? [06:05] very few problems, just nvidia [06:05] JbCrash: download a current iso? [06:05] mactimes: compizconfig-settings-manager [06:05] tacosalad: hmmm... that's realy wierd man. Sorry, can't help you out [06:05] mactimes: compizconfig-setings-manager [06:05] soldats: nickrud: Thank you! [06:05] sjovan thanks for trying [06:05] IndyGunFreak i confused in that iso matter..its i can use live cd..and install manually from net? [06:05] anyone know how to install divX on 7.10? [06:06] my laptop running AMD Turion64 [06:06] JbCrash: download the new iso you want, then use burning software [06:06] be sure to select Burn Image [06:06] JbCrash: yes.. if you download a regular ISO, the yes, it will run from the Live CD, and also allow you to install. [06:06] Err how do i put /home on a diffrent Partion? [06:06] it will make the cd bootable [06:06] tacosalad: have you vlc? It plays most everything. Also, try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:06] tacosalad: I think you have to spesefy what mediaplayer you want to run that file with [06:06] JbCrash: just a suggestion to, i would suggest sticking w/ i386 also. [06:06] anyone know if ubuntu detects osx86? [06:06] ok guys..let me try install it [06:06] thanks guys [06:06] bah, the x86 has so few problems [06:06] and it's so fast [06:06] linux rocks [06:06] besides, if you want i386 [06:07] you can do another install, like xubuntu [06:07] * IndyGunFreak predicts bad things for jbcrash [06:07] on another tiny partition [06:07] and have the best of both [06:07] i have VLC player, i've been trying that, I get audio with just green video [06:07] ;) [06:07] that was install #7 [06:07] * nickrud thinks IndyGunFreak is pessimistic [06:07] * IndyGunFreak agrees with nickrud [06:07] tacosalad: is it a drm protected xvid? [06:07] #recife [06:07] does ubunt support OSX86? [06:08] nickrud: what's drm? [06:08] no, just a downloaded divX movie [06:08] lol DocMangler [06:08] well, you did tell him to back up his files [06:08] not your fault if his world collapses [06:08] ;) [06:08] sjovan: digital rights management , a licensing/protections scheme [06:08] DocMangler: true, but he's tryng to install 5.04 you know how many closed repos he's gonna run into? [06:08] nickrud: k [06:08] i thought he was dl'ing a new one [06:08] :( [06:08] nickrud: just a downloaded divX movie, no DRM [06:09] oh i didn't hear him say that, i thought he was trying to install 5.04 still. [06:09] lol i didn't hear him actually say he'd dl one either [06:09] :P [06:09] lol [06:09] hope for the best, assume the worst.... [06:09] selling my copy of windows 3.1 with no software [06:09] only $19.99 [06:09] breezy was a beautiful release. Needed some setup, but was very stable [06:10] DocMangler: Thats a great deal for anyone... :o) [06:10] haha sure [06:10] is ubotu dead again? [06:10] excpet it comes on floppies [06:10] yea, and who has a floppie laying around :) [06:10] exactly lol [06:10] !fonts [06:10] last one i had was dead with hairballs in it [06:11] i shot my last floppy [06:11] hehe [06:11] i have codeine, helix, kaffeine, miro, mplayer, noatun, smplayer, and vlc. do any of these have ipod 3rd gen support like amarok does? [06:11] i ran out of clay pigeons, so throwing floppies was the next best choice. [06:11] * sjovan don't know where his floppy whent :( [06:11] hahahah [06:11] i have 1 more question..the only important software i use in my vista is.. photoshop cs2..i really love linux..if i use ubuntu..its that i can use photoshop cs 2? i hv original copy cost rm3700. [06:11] i have to use wine? [06:11] there is a wine database [06:11] JbCrash: check the wine database [06:11] I have a box of 5¼ 's [06:11] you can check to see what programs run with which version of wine [06:12] JbCrash: i would be more concerned about using a current version of ubuntu [06:12] ok ... on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being painful, 10 being easy), how hard would it be to "upgrade" from FC to Ubuntu? [06:12] if you haven't set it up before, and it's not listed gold or platinum... you'll have a rough go [06:12] JbCrash: you're going to run into a shitload of problems [06:12] IndyGunFreak i will updates my ubuntu [06:12] yeah man, and really [06:12] backup your files [06:12] mr-rich: well, you won't *upgrade* you'll do a clean install.. [06:12] JbCrash: i'm not talking about updating [06:13] JbCrash: you need to download a current iso and reburn [06:13] ok [06:13] my first qparted run failed in mid go of a format [06:13] JbCrash: you'll fail in the updating process,b ecause of closed repositories [06:13] i using 1kpbs broadband..how long its will take to download? [06:13] hhe can still do a networkless install [06:13] less than an hour [06:13] JbCrash: 700mb i do believe, do the math [06:13] IndyGunFreak: so, 1 ... painful ... ? [06:14] JbCrash: I think CrossOver suports PS realy good. Read on their homepage, and if it's suported download a torrent with the prog :) === n0ble is now known as noble- [06:14] also JbCrash [06:14] mr-rich: no,.. back up and do a clean instlal of ubuntu.. Debian kills RPM.. [06:14] if you aren't happy with the layouts it selects for you on guided [06:14] download a torrent of that prog :) [06:14] * [06:14] use the manual, you can go up until it applies changes to your partitions [06:14] if your not happy to that point you can still back out no problem [06:14] brb [06:15] mr-rich: i'd encourage anyone to switch from FC to Ubuntu, but you're not going to *upgrade* per se, you'll be doing a completely new install. [06:15] IndyGunFreak: can I save my /home partition? [06:15] mr-rich: if its already on a separate partition, i don't see why not.. but i've never done that, but some here sing the praises of doing that. [06:16] yea, a separate home is sweet :) [06:16] if my system sees my ipod, why won't it mount and why won't the ipod icon show up on the desk top? [06:16] IndyGunFreak: Linux is all I use ... FC changes to fast to keep up with ... I need a distro with a longer EOL cycle ... Ubuntu? [06:16] Should there be a problem trying to copy a file from a 64bit ubuntu partition to a vista 32bit partition? [06:17] mr-rich: ubuntu updates every 6mo.. [06:17] nm [06:17] mr-rich: you might like mepis a little better. [06:18] should i be in the kubuntu irc to ask these questions? [06:18] i have kubuntu ncfi [06:18] IndyGunFreak: does ubuntu require a clean install with each new version like FC? [06:19] should i be in the kubuntu irc to ask these questions? [06:19] mr-rich: no you can upgrade [06:19] does it possible to recover files from Disk-On-key ? [06:20] to docmangler: i have kubuntu as well [06:21] what is your question ncfi? [06:21] when i go to the bathroom after eating taco's, i take a KDE [06:21] :) [06:21] hahaha [06:21] i don't know how anyone uses it. [06:21] thank goodness for choice. === [RPA]cZw0 is now known as [RPA]cZw0|w0rk [06:21] my kde is so pretty though, i can't bear to go back to windows [06:21] I agree [06:21] i'd have to use WIndows if KDE is all there was. [06:22] and gnu screen looks so nice with my eyecandy frames [06:22] IndyGunFreak:+1 [06:22] Hi, I keep getting Grub Error 17 and I cant log into the LiveCD again [06:22] Peddy: its all a matter of taste, i've tried KDE, and i use it for about 3min before my frustration boils over when Konq crashes for about 3-4th time.. and i go back to gnome [06:22] How can I encrypt a text file with gpg without importing the key of the person I am encrypting the text file for? [06:23] When I try to use sudo I get an error message saying that I'm not in the sudoer's file. But I am the only administrator, having just installed ubuntu server edition. Is there any way to fix this without reinstalling? [06:23] cat myEmail | gpg --encrypt -a -r "Joe Bloggs" [06:23] gah konq sux [06:23] It works, but then I need Joe's gpg key imported :) [06:23] Is there any way I can encrypt the file, without importing the public key for the person in question?

[06:25] timgws: Well, you have to trust him, otherwise....? [06:26] to docmangler:my / is that i have codeine, helix, kaffeine, miro, mplayer, noatun, smplayer, and vlc. do any of these have ipod 3rd gen support like amarok does? === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [06:26] ahh i dont use ipod [06:26] but [06:26] you can get amarok if it's not already there [06:26] i put amarok on mine, runs great [06:27] i have amarok [06:27] i have not used kaffeine,, codeine, helix, miro, noatun, smplayer or vic [06:27] only amarok because that's what i had before [06:28] does anybody else have an ipod?

[06:42] christ [06:43] does anyone know how to automatically start applications such as AWN and FireStarter when Ubuntu is started [06:43] firestarter already starts do you mean put an icon in your sys tray? [06:43] anytime I get a flash video, somehow it's opening in a JW FLV Media Player and I would like to get rid of it. However there's no similar packages installed. Anyone know the package name? [06:43] Capsid: sys prefs sessions add for awn [06:43] Yeah, what about AWN then? [06:43] Capsid: rc.local? [06:44] awesome, thank you [06:44] problem, souper? [06:44] no [06:44] Capsid: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php#trayicon [06:44] k, wasn't sure [06:44] does anyone know how to automatically start applications such as AWN and FireStarter when Ubuntu is started [06:44] firestarted is automatically lunched [06:44] it just modifies iptables [06:44] that's usually either "no one can help figure this out" or "wow, that's a lot of people" [06:45] cool, thanks for the help [06:45] i just got my vista partition working again (had been putting it off because i expecting it to be much more of a hassle than it was worth, plus i didn't have a recovery disc) it was actually tons easier than i thought [06:46] but mostly after my windows abstinence i was surprised at how much slower everything runs on vista than my ubuntu install [06:46] anyone know of this "JW FLV Media Player"? I've never heard of it [06:46] did you search? [06:47] yeah..but it doesn't list the package name [06:47] !g JW FLV Media Player ubuntu [06:47] LiraNuna: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:47] plus all the eye candy with compiz-fuzion looks so much better than aero [06:47] oh dear, this isn't #ubuntu/EFnet [06:47] Frijolie: what browser are you using? [06:47] souper, vista is a joke :) [06:47] Firefox [06:48] theirs a manage button under prefs->content you can change the action of flv's [06:48] i know and honestly the only program that i really need it for is microsoft one note [06:48] does it depend on the filetype? I want MPLayer to play all video [06:48] install the firefox plugin or use vlc or another program etc [06:48] yeah just change it to external program and choose mplayer [06:48] I'm trying to install vmware but dpkg keeps throwing me errors: http://pastebin.com/d770cd1a2 what can I do? [06:48] although the other ms office 2007 apps are pretty nice [06:49] but in firefox there is nothing set to use "JW FLV Media Player" [06:49] Hello [06:50] im looking for an HTPC sw solution on linux/ubuntu like MS media center or XBMC. anything worth investigating [06:51] GregOrian mythtv === elkbuntu_ is now known as elkbuntu [06:51] souper: gotcha. thanks [06:51] hi? all [06:51] GregOrian >>> LinuxMCE too [06:52] np [06:52] I'm a windows user thinking of switching to ubuntu, but I'm somewhat shying away because of a lack of .exe support, or well, at least, to my knowledge. Any good way to install windows-based programs (Not WINE, I've looked at it before on a friend's Ubuntu [06:52] ) [06:52] uh thats pretty much your only choice [06:52] there's an ubuntu derivative distribution called mythbuntu that might be worth checking out [06:52] Drat === ere4sli is now known as ere4si [06:52] will do [06:53] Riomerc: wine/cedega is the best way for that, although TBH I don't use either - I don't have any applications that I couldn't find native equivalents for.

I have a d975xbx motherboard and an nvidia 8800gt. It just goes blank screen forever. If I ctrl alt delete it, it runs through a big long shutdown sequence and ejects the disk. Trying to abandon M$ here and having a hard time with it. [06:55] hy [06:55] Kennster dell by any chance? [06:55] which i better, gdesktop or desklets? [06:55] There aren't any solutions aside from cegega and wine [06:55] no, it's my own creation. Would you like a hardware list? [06:55] ? [06:56] Kennster: can you switch to a diff screen and login? like the system has been installed it just never brings the logon screen or can you not make it that far? [06:57] Doesn't even make it to the hard drive selection interface. Almost like it dies right where a gui *should* pop up... But I'm scared of a text based install. [06:57] which is better, gdesktop or desklets???? [06:57] I'm trying to dual boot on separate hard drives and can't accomplish that with fedora [06:57] Kennster: Are you doing a dual boot or a full install? [06:57] ahh ok [06:57] That's why you want to stay away from teh text install... [06:57] sounds like you might want to try the noacpi option [06:57] hmm [06:57] but that's kinda a shot in the dark [06:58] Kennster-> you have fedora already installed? [06:58] Re-ask: Are there any other ways to run windows apps (Mainly games and the like) aside from Cedega/Wine, or should I give up? [06:58] It does the same thing when I only have one hard drive installed as well. They are SATA. Does that have any bearing on this? [06:58] Riomerc: why do you not like wine is the game your trying to install not on their appdb? [06:58] Riomerc: Try VirtualBox. [06:59] ^ you always could run a virtual machine [06:59] Carenthalas: that won't work for games [06:59] or vmware [06:59] Carenthalas: Emulator? [06:59] yes [06:59] Emulator = Phailure for games [06:59] Kennster-> you have fedora already installed? [06:59] If you want to play Windows games and Cedega/WINE don't work for you the only option is to use Windows [06:59] Fedora installed with just one disk installed, but when I put the other in I have to switch the disk boot order in the BIOS rather than through a bootloader [06:59] Heh. [06:59] Personally I dual boot [07:00] I find myself not playing games so much anymore, which is a good thing [07:00] Heh [07:00] !hi [07:00] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:00] good the bots back [07:00] Kennster-> you have two os already installed? [07:00] Oh well, I think I'll stick with windows as long as I'm sticking with PC games, thanks for the help guys! [07:00] Stick with native windows if you want native PC games. [07:00] If I attempt a repair of the fedora install it tries to initialize both drives in a single striping raid array. Yes, I currently have 2 os's. XP32 and fedora 64 [07:02] Kennster: I have XP on primary HDD, and Mandriva w/ GRUB of secondary HDD. No problem. [07:02] Kennster-> how much space do you have on that single disk with fedora? [07:03] 320 advertised gigs. So whatever that is minus the thrown away powers of 2 [07:03] I'm trying to install vmware but dpkg keeps throwing me errors: http://pastebin.com/d770cd1a2 what can I do? [07:03] Kennster-> what I meant is are there free partitions you can use or you need to resize the existing fedora spaces? [07:04] I want to nuke fedora. [07:04] !who | Kennster [07:04] Kennster: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [07:04] test [07:05] can anyone read this? [07:05] no [07:05] no I can't read [07:05] kthxbye [07:05] -.- [07:05] I knew someone was going to reply that way [07:05] :) [07:05] why ask [07:05] ^ [07:05] anil: thanks for those articles, but they were tutorials for how to get your flash video working...mine is working, i would just like to select a different player [07:05] because I was/is trying to configure Pidgin with IRC [07:05] amenado-> I want fedora deaddified. Gone. Destroyed. [07:06] and it works now [07:06] what's the current codename of Ubuntu? === suzanne_ is now known as flying_caveman [07:06] gutsy gibbon [07:06] that's the current release [07:06] i have some problems [07:06] i have problems with ubuntu as usual, my wireless networking does not work nor my sound or graphics [07:06] when'd it come out? I coulda sworn we were still on Feisty... [07:07] lol [07:07] it came out in october [07:07] oh [07:07] Kennster-> when you install ubuntu and get to the point of partitioning the hard disk, select same spaces occupied by fedora and reformat it, then set the mount points..minimum / swap and /home [07:07] it came out on the exact date of my birthday [07:07] I havn't follwed it very closely, then, hehe. [07:07] hardy heron get's release next month [07:07] it was a nice birthday present [07:07] ooh was it on Oct. 18th? That's my birthday, hehe. [07:07] yep [07:07] it was? [07:08] hahahaha, that's awesome [07:08] amenado->I don't get that far. The installer goes blank screened right after I tell it to "install or run Ubuntu" [07:08] I know [07:08] does any one know of any speach recognition software? [07:08] I mean, I had about 15 bugs when I upgraded. But still. [07:08] Frijolie: do you have flashplugin-nonfree installed? [07:08] * jescis wishes ubuntu came out on his birthday -_- [07:08] Kennster-> liveCd or alternate cd? [07:09] anil: yes, it's weird...videos on YouTube play in the native Adobe Flash Player but on other sites, they open in JW FLV Media Player..this is what I want to prevent. Can I always have them open in the native Adobe Player? [07:09] * Peddy says that the statistical probability that a new Ubuntu release comes out on jescis' birthday is very high, assuming that he lives over 100 [07:09] lol [07:10] lol [07:10] amenado->LiveCd [07:10] Peddy: My bday is 04/22/1977 [07:10] err... was [07:10] haha [07:11] heh [07:11] Kennster-> maybe livecd is not working for you, you can try the alternate, but try this anyways... no apic acpi=off as boot parameters [07:11] well, if I am correct in my theory that the universe will reverse itself at the end of time, then maybe [07:11] Peddy, like in kpax? [07:11] amenado->I'm a bit leery of the alternate install cd because I am totally new to linux and want the security of the gui installer so I know I'm not killing my existing windows drive [07:11] Peddy, Maybe what [07:11] maybe there will be a release in 77 [07:11] alternate installer is just as easy [07:12] amenado->just type "acpi=off" as the boot parameter? [07:12] just you cant watch porn while it installes [07:12] Kennster-> your xp is on another drive..so what are you worrying about since it is not connected? [07:12] flying_caveman: lmfao [07:13] Kennster noapic acpi=off when you get to the boot menu..press e [07:13] They are identical model numbers and size. It would suck to accidentally overwrite my xp [07:13] Kennster-> its should not, again you said your xp is on a different drive yes? [07:14] you can remove the hd hosting the xp [07:14] amenado->Yes [07:14] Kennster: check carefully the device name on control panel before you do any partitioning. [07:14] amenado->but then my danged linux bootloader doesn't work and I have to choose hd's through the bios... I'll just have to be careful. [07:15] Kennster-> i dont know how your setup is, and if you are too scared, then just stick with xp, no need to lose sleep [07:15] #surabaya [07:16] my wireless network connection, randomly but annoyingly, goes to 0% strength and fails to work. Anyone know whats going on? [07:16] Peddy-> there are no guarantees that wireless works 100% nor any radio out there [07:17] amenado: what do you mean by radio? sorry :p [07:17] Kennster if you're using the live cd, what's stopping you from viewing the contents of each drive before you partition? [07:17] Kennster: Suggest you to clone the XP drive first. [07:18] souper I don't get that far is what's stopping me. The installer hangs right after the cd's boot menu [07:18] oh yea [07:18] Peddy radios have tx and rx, just like your wifi nic card [07:18] sorry i keep getting snippets of this discussion and i thought progress has been made where it hasn't [07:18] amenado: but 0%? [07:19] amenado: I'm approximately 15 metres away [07:19] Peddy why not? [07:19] souper It's all good [07:20] Has nobody had their Ubuntu LiveCD 7.10 hang right after the boot menu? [07:20] amenado: I'm sorry I don't understand, are you implying that this is because of distance/strength? [07:20] anyone know how to fix pidgin when it wont trasnfer images right? it only receives images but even then they come out pixelized on the bottom half [07:20] Peddy receivers even get saturated and you may get just noise...radio is magic..nothing is guaranteed [07:21] Kennster: I had experienced it became black screen however it is still running. [07:21] yea i've heard of it and usually the solution was to add the noapic acpi=off boot parameters [07:21] Peddy-> could be anything, strong signal from a neighbor, any interference that can cause it [07:21] amenado: ok, thanks (I was just assuming this was some sort of problem within network-manager itself, but maybe not) [07:22] noapic acpi=off no typo there? Seems odd, but I will certainly try it. [07:23] nope, those are the parameters [07:23] I have a friend who has his resolution and frequancy set to high. And I changed it but it didn't change. o.O what can I do to change it? [07:24] too* [07:25] souper- thanks. I'm off to break my computer! Thanks for the help, and God bless all!

[07:30] souper: I want to do that too ^^ [07:30] idk, though [07:31] darn >< a ghost -_- === jescis_ is now known as jescis [07:31] eh... it's not an option on the shipit page.... [07:32] I'm going to send the good folk there an email [07:32] anyone know why gnome themes would screw up the way webpages are displayed in firefox? [07:32] any one know the answer to my question? [07:33] souper: actually, I won't. Because I thought of it a while back, but now when I think of it, the CD won't arrive any faster, because it will take 4 weeks anyway. [07:33] haha stupid me [07:33] jescis can you post it again? [07:33] Peddy I have a friend who has his resolution and frequancy set too high. And I changed it but it didn't change. o.O what can I do to change it? [07:34] Why is gconfd-2 a process? I. e. why is it not enough that Ubuntu only calls the GNOME configuration program when the user is going to change the configuration of GNOME? [07:34] can you go into recover mode? and then run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' [07:34] jescis* [07:34] Peddy: maybe tomarrow [07:34] Should I keep APM enabled on Kernel Config? [07:35] jescis: just hit escape or whatever at the Grub thing and choose recover (text only) mode, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:35] Peddy: the friend owns a vacuum shop(electrolux) [07:35] jescis: the aforementioned command will allow you to set a new resolution [07:35] what channel is apropriate for general linux questions? sorry this is the only channel i know of right now im new [07:35] beltran: ask away here :) [07:36] Peddy: ok will do. [07:36] ubuntu is great [07:36] beltran: ask here, if its in appropriate we can direct you to the correct place [07:36] ok thanks, i want to install ubuntu 7.10 and the newest mint on the same comp, but do i need 2 swap partitions or will they both see the one [07:37] beltran: 1 is fine [07:37] right on, thanks [07:38] Peddy: I know it won't get here any faster, but I like to have the factory copies to archive or to give away friends or the like. I'll probably download it on release day but I'd still want the pressed copies. [07:38] beltran: also, if you want to ask about mint, you would need to head on over to their channel :) [07:38] !mint > beltran [07:38] Should I keep APM enabled on Kernel Config? [07:38] jescis: although, you may want to back up the xserver (resolution, etc.) settings first: with 'cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf' [07:38] right on, that was my only question, er, well shoot can i have one ubuntu but both kde and gnome? === mike__ is now known as OneMike9886 [07:39] Kennster how'd that go? [07:39] jescis: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf Desktop/ *** [07:39] i know theres kubuntu [07:39] souper->Didn't work. made it to "Running local bootscripts" [07:39] :/ [07:39] beltran: yes you can [07:39] thanks [07:39] beltran: install the kubuntu-desktop package [07:39] ill just install the one then [07:39] Peddy: the settings give him lines on his monitor I mean 75Hz o.O [07:39] souper: why not just request shipping on the day it comes out? [07:39] does anyone here use Hamachi that can maybe gimmie a hand??? [07:40] Ubuntu doesnt have chkdsk from terminal? [07:40] because i won't have to think about it then if i do it now [07:40] just not sure wich desktop is the better for a noob like me [07:40] jescis: yeah, write down the commands I said before or something. [07:40] Hello. What do you guys think about Xfce? I haven't used Linux in a long time and i'm thinking of installing Xubuntu [07:40] Black_Magic: yeah, man fsck IIRC [07:40] oo one last question then ill boogey on out if yall dont mind, why dosent linux need to be defraged, or does it? [07:40] Peddy: thanks I will [07:41] beltran: correct, it doesnt, but its a good idea to run fsck from timeto time - its fdone automatically for you often [07:41] if someone tells you ext3 doesn't fragment, they're lying. but it doesn't fragment even a fraction as much as fat or ntfs [07:41] jussi01: I mean to list disks and partions and such.. [07:41] as jussi said :) [07:42] jescis: check your PM [07:42] !defrag | beltran [07:42] beltran: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [07:42] way to overkill...

[08:12] jussi01: I'm using irssi and I still don't have a new "window" [08:12] jescis: yeah there seems to be an issue with the bot [08:13] !guidelines | jescis [08:13] jescis: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [08:13] ubotu - do you mean like this? « #! /bin/b alias cp='cp -v -i' [08:13] walkeraj: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:13] I have a laptop with a partitioned hard drive. It originally came with Vista, but at my friend's urging I split the drive and installed Ubuntu on it. Vista has been acting up and I want to scrap it completely and just run Linux. [08:14] What I'm wondering is, would deleting Vista affect the performance of Ubuntu at all? [08:14] AndorinKato: IMHO, it shouldnt [08:14] Does it make a difference that I can access my Vista drive and its files while running Ubuntu?> [08:15] That tells me that it might be using something from that drive to run the computer, and if so I don't want to delete that something and accidentally screw everything up. [08:15] AndorinKato: no, just think of it as an extra partion. linux can access windows files no problems [08:15] jussi01: But we're not children. so what's wrong with a little bit of profanity? [08:15] Hm, I see. [08:16] jescis: Id suggest that this isnt really the place to discus this, best to chat about that stuff in #ubuntu-ops :) [08:16] Hi all. I'm trying to use "Sonato" player and I configured the options to tell it where my music is and click Update Library, but for some reason nothing is happening. Anyone have any experience with Sonata? [08:16] jussi01: ok [08:17] hello all, do i need antivirus on ubuntu in your opinion? [08:17] no [08:17] Yes. [08:17] !virus | worldnbottle [08:17] hmm.basically no [08:17] worldnbottle: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [08:17] If you have to ask the question, yes. [08:17] i read about avg [08:17] Soms, what's your rationale for that? [08:17] jussi01: Okay, I have another question. MSN Messenger has a feature that lets me send text messages to my friends' mobile devices. Is there an Ubuntu-compatible IM program that lets me do the same, or a web-browser-based IM service that will let me do that? [08:18] jescis, I'm having a disagreement with another linux channel on a very similar issue. Part of the problem is the inch/mile thing: if they rules relax by an inch, visitors will insist on taking a mile. [08:18] I just rationalized it. === ubotu is now known as Ubot6 [08:18] his asking the question doesn't make the OS inherently less secure, poor rationalization [08:18] thanks for playing though [08:18] You can txt2day.com [08:19] sorry, a tad grumpy tonight [08:19] * AndorinKato checks the site [08:19] in fact i have just moved from xp to ubuntu === gyaresu is now known as gyaresu_away [08:20] rofl.. just logged a 190-line duscussion in ##windows, how to fix up file associations in Vista.. this would have been a 3-second job in just about any other OS.. Holy crap, Vista is messed up! [08:20] Daisuke_Ido: Nothing makes the OS less secure, if more virii was out there for Linux it might be more of an issue. However even with the limited virii exsisting, a user who is not quite savvy enough to realise what is and is not malicious needs to run an AV no matter the OS. [08:20] Probably a dumb question, but this program is Ubuntu-compatible, right? [08:21] hey guys. i'm having some weird wireless troubles using the b43-fwcutter driver. i'm running an amd64 build of ubuntu. anyone familiar with this stuff? [08:21] Hi all. I'm trying to use "Sonato" player and I configured the options to tell it where my music is and click Update Library, but for some reason nothing is happening. Anyone have any experience with Sonata? [08:21] AndorinKato: which program? [08:22] just thought id stop back in and say my install went smoothly and i think it even recognised my atheros card, or the netgear card, anyhow thanks a bunch [08:22] The one I download from txt2day.com [08:22] I'm not sure, I just use it via the site. [08:22] Enough rationale there Daisuke_Ido? [08:22] im familiar with the amd64 build being very difficult to find drivers for. this is why i run the 32bit build [08:22] 1) plural of "virus" isn't "virii", this isn't ancient Rome, but that aside... 2) there's still no reason for an antivirus. [08:22] and i rember earlier someone said "and if your feeling adventurouse, try enlightenment" i take it that it isnt as simple as downloading the package? [08:23] riskbreaker: my advice is to get a better supporte wireless card. broadcoms are frequently a royal pain to get working. (having said that, I got mine working and it's been going great ever since..!) [08:23] nothing's going to be getting through anyway [08:23] i dont top out 2gb ram often so i dont think i really need the 4+gb access [08:23] what command displays the current screen resolution, refreshrate and colordepth? [08:23] for example i can type "iwlist wlan0 scan" and it'll give me a list of the local networks, and then i'll type it again 5 seconds later and it'll say no results available [08:23] when i do manage to connect to a network, such as right now, i'm capped at like 10kb/sec... [08:24] riskbreaker: Oh.. so it's working then. Well done :) [08:24] now i don't understand - it should either work, or it shouldn't work, but right now it's in a limbo-ish kinda-works state. === gyaresu_away is now known as gyaresu [08:24] is there a command that displays the current screen resolution and refreshrate? [08:25] !rename [08:25] Factoid rename not found [08:25] anyone [08:25] unfortunately this wireless card is onboard in my laptop so i can't really just get another [08:25] riskbreaker: well, when I say mine's working, it comes up about one time in three.. I have to rmmod and modprobe the module to get it to load the firmware, and I often have to run dhcpclient manually after it's connected to get an address... [08:25] ... so my original advice stands :) [08:25] well that's quite a pain [08:25] Daisuke_Ido: Then replace virii with virus or malware; and stop being an ass. Second, things can always get through, it is just the fact that they are less prone to, due to the almost low amount of malware created for Linux. [08:25] :| [08:26] should i just switch to a not-64bit build then [08:26] The other card and the USB wireless I have I just plug in and start using the connection, no pain at all.. === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:26] Daisuke_Ido: Question reversed, should a windows user who knows what he is doing be running an AV? [08:26] is there even a significant advantage to running the 64-bit build? [08:26] bulk malware. there are still individual blackhats who know their business and stay 0 day [08:27] ...and the fact that users are running as limited by default... [08:27] Soms, i'm going to say no. [08:27] it tightens up alot of holes yes. but thatś what exploits are for [08:27] flowOver.... that's what she said? [08:27] riskbreaker: what I've heard is that cgg doesn't do a heck of a lot of optimization for it yet, so no huge advantage.. and it makes just about any nonfree stuff like drivers and codecs much harder a lot of the time.. [08:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 riskbreaker you might want to look at this cli how to for wireless [08:28] why does my keyboard use the śingle quote to markup letters with accents? i selected us in install [08:28] but that's an entirely different question [08:28] riskbreaker, HAH [08:28] Daisuke_Ido: Then why should an unexperienced user not use something like Clam on Ubuntu? or any distro for that matter? [08:28] Ummmm.. the virus discussion is probably !ot guys.. [08:28] bazhang: appreciated, but i don't think the problem here is with networkmanager [08:29] Soms: if you are using ubuntu as a mail server for windows boxes then go for it; otherwise not needed [08:29] it's "should a user with a below average knowledge use an AV on a secure os", not "should a user with above average knowledge use an AV on an insecure OS" [08:29] and the answer is no [08:29] bazhang: sometimes an iwlist scan returns results, sometimes it does not. regardless of network manager [08:29] sup [08:29] i have usa international selected as a keyboard layout and the single quote key toggles accented chars [08:29] But wince we're having it.. I wrote a nice little script that sits in the background after you run it and waits for you to sudo or gksudo, then runs itself using sudo ... just a trivial proof of concept.. [08:29] *since [08:29] Does anyone here use Ubuntu due to the lack of virii, spyware, etC? [08:30] riskbreaker: the how to I linked you bypasses network manager; might be worth a look [08:30] zcat[1]: My point, exactly. [08:30] Everything is in-secure without a knowledgable user. [08:30] Soms, you never had a point. [08:30] but okay, i can see that as a reason [08:30] one more question. to switch to 32-bit do i have to reinstall ubuntu? [08:30] I have a friend online MSN with the name Daisuke [08:30] Soms: simply not true and treading into offtopic [08:30] Yeah, you can't downgrade from 64bit [08:31] 64bit is what I used 2 hours ago. [08:31] Soms: The real reason for no spyware/viruses is that installing most programs is just add/remove programs and tick the box. As a rule we don't go downloading stuff from random websites or running anything sent in email. [08:31] riskbreaker: aye [08:31] noooooooooooooooo...... [08:31] Now I use Vista [08:31] question; is there a ubuntu splash-switcher application in gutsy? i googled after it and found its obsolete [08:31] !usplash [08:31] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [08:31] Viruses are just programs. Linux runs programs as well as anything else. It's not magically immune. [08:32] how do i remove the splash completely? [08:32] thanks [08:32] zcat[1]: Right, but you and I; are not exactly everyone else. [08:32] SidStudios, thats a hefty licence to swap into over 2 hours [08:32] should i try ndiswrapper? [08:32] offtopic [08:32] !offtopic [08:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

I went to BEIMUN (Model United Nations Beijing), came back, switched on my comp, and everything was lagging like there was no tomorrow. Sound didn't work anymore, I hated the UI :) [08:33] us international is selected, but the single quote key is behaving as an accent toggle [08:33] nice story [08:33] i don't really understand what ndiswrapper is but a lot of people talk about it in wireless discussions, should i give it a shot before wiping my ubuntu installation? [08:33] riskbreaker, what's your wireless chipset? [08:34] I accidently used all my disk space up and now Ubuntu won't let me login. [08:34] What do I do? [08:34] Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) [08:34] Hibernate in Ubuntu never worked for me either, it was a pain rebuilding ALSA, using NDISWrapper, and finding the correct screen from that "screens and graphics" thing in Ubuntu [08:34] riskbreaker: since you're using 64 bit, ndiswrapper will be one of those non-free driver things that becomes particularly difficult for you I think... [08:34] Riskbreaker [08:34] I have the correct option for you [08:34] Here is a website I used yesterday [08:34] riskbreaker: you can give it a try though [08:34] AND I USE 64BIT [08:34] WAIT [08:34] riskbreaker, did you go through the restricted driver manager?

[08:35] Yuji1: Error: "using" is not a valid command. [08:35] Oh great I'm talking to bots. [08:35] I accidently used all my disk space up and now Ubuntu won't let me login. What do I do, please.

What could I do about that? Is using udev recommended? [08:35] feisty, eh? [08:35] riskbreaker: It works in Gutsy, and I used 64bit and it worked.. [08:36] * Yuji1 is using Gutsy./ [08:36] riskbreaker: I have broadcom but rev02, yours is rev01 but same thing [08:36] for what it's worth, i'm on the hardy alpha (it's surprisingly stable!) but i'll give it a shot [08:36] Oh well, I'm gonna reboot soon and play with alpha6 [08:36] alpha6 is nice [08:36] like.. after I copy it over and burn a cd [08:37] this wireless thing is the only problem i've had with it [08:37] What's the dif between that and Gutsy?

[09:00] allam: ok... phpmyadmin will be domewhere /var/lib/phpmyadmin perhaps? find it, make a link to it from /var/www and it should all be good. I think. [09:00] tiax: does it allow me to use any res/refreshrate i want? === riskbreaker_ is now known as riskbreaker [09:00] bo-dick: I guess it won't allow you to set impossible values, check the manpage for more details [09:00] tiax: ok, thanks [09:01] SidStudios: I'm loving vista.. since it came out we have had so many people coming along to the LUG because they don't want to upgrade to Vista and they know Microsoft is going to stop supporting XP sometime. [09:01] hi i need to register with some channel , how do i do that and later on how do i identify myself ? sorry to put this here [09:01] xrandr --screen 0 --size 1024x768 [09:01] riskbreaker_: and uname -r gives that out as well as the -a/--all one does.

[09:03] I got it with my laptop [09:03] SidStudios: Since you're on vista. you could crack open a book(or do a google search) ._> [09:03] And I got my laptop for free, [09:03] Everyone bitches about vista for no reason [09:03] theyŕe getting as much out of the heap it became and moving onto new things asap [09:03] zcat[1]: how i can uninstall all because i want to reinstall it again [09:03] I just spend a good half hour finding out how to change a file association, after it broke for no reason at all.

[09:10] souper: 7.04 [09:10] SidStudios, youŕe not the only person in the world nor is your computer the only of itś own. vista fails very well on alot of hardware. many oem venders have this problem and forced them to keep selling xp [09:10] souper : then upgrade to 7.10 from alternate cd [09:11] bullgard4: various 32 bit gutsy software grouped into categories [09:11] how do i find out the dependencies of a package?

[09:17] The issue is the end session, gets LAG, all apps works fine, just the end session get's to much time [09:17] now that's just a waste of money [09:17] hehe.. two or three min, yeah.

PXE sure has it uses. Especially in large deployments. No one wants to run around with CDs on 1000s of computers. [09:55] That gets expensive, even if you use interns.

You need to add the user for whom you create the share to this data base (run smbpasswd -a username). You'll be prompted to add the users password. then enable the account (run smbpasswd -e username). Hope that helps.

This catches _everyone_ out first time they set up a samba share - samba maintains its own password data base. Its kind of annoying that your not told about these steps... perhaps there should be a hint in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file :) [12:46] danand, it has worked, i assumed i had to sudo it.

[12:48] stefano_, cos you have more control which needs setting up [12:48] OK, I ask again, I change the time zone in my ubuntu 6.06 server, with tzconfig, but when I restart the server It does not save the changes I did [12:48] isnt there a solution that uses the whatever its name was linux version of bonjour? [12:49] to make it really easy i mean [12:49] stefano_, it does need streamlining but once you get your head round whats happening its simple [12:49] stefano_ - this is a problem i've seen time after time.... it could certainly be easier. Perhaps a message should be output to the user when they install the smb server that they must perform these steps ... or else a big hint in the config file [12:49] help, the shut down and restart options are gone, I can only do it by the console [12:49] i create a new user jabber for jabberd2, but after su jabber, you can just see "$" and i can't use the function of auto patch such as "Tab Tab" which should show all the command but refused! who can i deal with it [12:50] \(^_^)\ /(^_^)/ yeay! [12:50] danand, i think i can see the problem with samba, and why you have to perform these steps. but i'd like to see some kind of bonjour'esque solution for that in the future.

[14:55] it is an internal card [14:55] no on off [14:55] c'e qualcuno che parla italiano? [14:55] !it | cinghia [14:55] cinghia: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [14:56] Jack_Sparrow. It may be a tip that now I can't access the windows disk from ubuntu, like I was able to do before [14:56] AldarHawk-> some internal do have an on/off switch, hard to see it is there..and also have a light indicator status like.. [14:56] hi, can you help me with timezone reconfigure? [14:56] grazie [14:56] cinghia: neanche su #ubuntu-it apprezzano molto uno che entra e comincia a spammare delle "g", per la cronaca [14:56] !grub | pbne04 [14:56] suncydu, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [14:57] hello everyone, i have a nvidia 8400gmt on my laptop, i installed ubuntu 7.10 and when i choose advance graphics, it doesn't show any window decorator [14:57] the light is on for the indicator === mcgiver is now known as t00r [14:57] AldarHawk-> try to restart hald perhaps [14:57] any one has any ideas [14:57] I have restarted thrice now [14:58] I'm having issues with ssh... is there anyone there that can help me? I can ssh into a machine locally, but not form outside. - it appears that i am talking to the machine - it tries the rsa key (which I havent got) then doesn't let me use the password to enter - although it Does let me use the password locally (on the local network).. can anyone help? [14:58] AldarHawk-> restarted hald thrice? [14:58] amorphous you need to install ssh [14:58] ssh-server [14:58] apt-get install ssh-server [14:58] suncydu, system is starting immediately or there is countdown ? [14:58] I have rebooted the system three times [14:58] lclimber, he has already ssh installed, otherwise he would not be able to login [14:59] lclimber, I have ssh & ssh-server, like i say, I can access it fine using ssh on the 'home' network.. it's from another location that it won't let me : [14:59] I was just looking through all the power management/cpu frequency/etc options available. powernowd, cpufreqd, powersaved, apmd, acpid...is there a place somewhere that summarizes the pros and cons of each? :P [14:59] spark_ I have two seconds countdown. But in the beginning I the menu did not load when hitting escape. Then I change it to load default. But I can't change what should be loaded [15:00] amorphous: does your router forward the port to the internal IP? [15:00] you need to ensure that it is being sent to the correct place [15:00] amorphous: check you router config [15:00] suncydu, did you run that program I linked ? [15:00] AldarHawk, yes - its set to forward port 22 to 192.168.1.10 - the same address that i ssh into when local... [15:01] you on a dynamic IP? [15:01] hang on... i'll check it again... [15:01] Jack_Sparrow. I have problem connecting to internet on tha computer that have the problem [15:01] AldarHawk, no... static [15:01] suncydu, it will be better to reinstall your grub using a alternate cd, it's work when I had alike problem [15:01] static external or internal? [15:01] amenado: I am suspecting now that since the machine went off unexpectedly, there is likely a stale lock/pid file for some networking (possibly hald or NetworkManager) preventing startup of his ath0 [15:02] spark_ perhaps that is the solution... I will try [15:02] genii thats what i suspect too, hald related issue === AJC__Z0 is now known as AJC_Z0 [15:02] amorphous - have you checked your firewall is not blocking? [15:02] spark_ do you think there is something to do with that I can't access the win disk from ubuntu [15:03] danand, don't think i have one... :? [15:04] why is an EDID needed to boot into GDM? [15:05] danand, no - no firewall, and nothing in /etc/hosts.allow or deny... :( [15:05] AldarHawk-> do you have a directory /sys/class/net/ath0 ? [15:06] suncydu, I don't know, many things can do that situation but I think when you reinstall grub It will be ok, it is the best way [15:06] amorphous-> verify your firewall settings with sudo iptables -t nat -vL and see if you have any rules or DROP policies [15:07] amorphous - your kernel has a firewall in built - so you definitely have one :). You probably need to open port 22 for ssh access. A gui tool like firestarter will help you to do that easily enough... [15:08] amorphous - note that for security reasons all ports are closed by default [15:08] and according to ssh -vvvv - it is speaking to the machine - it's checking for private key etc... but then just not going to password - although it says its going to check private key & password when accessing the machine... [15:08] danand nope its the opposite, no rulez and ACCEPT is default policy [15:08] danand: that's not true, all ports are open by default, but no services are runnig by default [15:08] no ports are blocked, if he installed the ssh server, without doing any manual firewall changes, it shouln't be blocked [15:08] i want to use vnc to remote into my ubuntu machine. i know it is supported wehn i log in but i want to be able to vnc to it before anyone has logged in. presently i have to log in and then i can vnc to it. i plant o have the machine in a cupboard with no keyboard amd mounse and thus if it gets powered off i will nee to plug thos eback in unless i can figure out a way to remote desktop it... [15:08] ...before any has to log in. IDEAS? === bwlang_ is now known as bwlang [15:09] amenado, danand wouldn't that mean that i wouldn't be able to get in? I Can get in if i'm on the same network (192.168....)... trying iptables now... :) [15:09] wobblywu, you can setup vnc server with a specific x session that is autostrated, don't ask me how :) [15:09] how do one restart udev on gutsy ? [15:09] amorphous-> i gave you the command to easily verify the rules and policy..check em [15:10] wookienz: you can set up GDM to log you in automatically [15:10] hello , I need some help please, I would like to use wget to download certain type of files from website (i want just file .txt) does it possible to use wget for this porpose ? [15:10] amenado: No I do not have a /sys/class/net/ath0 [15:10] wookienz: or run a manual vncserver in screen or something [15:10] kate_mins: yes, read about the -A switch in 'man wget' [15:10] amenado, jrib - ok [15:10] esox: It has a script in /etc/init.d so: sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart [15:10] AldarHawk-> what directories you have then in /sys/class/net/ ? [15:11] troxor: ok thanks ill look into it. [15:11] eth0 and lo [15:11] amenado, i did - there are no rules defined... sorry - a bit slow getting back... [15:11] kate_mins, wget http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter.txt something like that [15:12] AldarHawk, I stepped away for a but, are you still having troubles with ndiswrapper and a wifi controller? [15:12] yes I am vulcar [15:12] I was away for a bit too [15:12] :P [15:12] in /sys/class/net/ [15:12] AldarHawk-> that indicates that during boot, the kernel function to detect hw for your wireless has not detected your wireless device.. also confirm by your lshw -C xxx [15:12] jrib: i already looked at "man wget" but i cant understand... can you give me an example ? [15:12] I am missing the ath0 [15:13] kate_mins, do you have the url of the txt you want [15:13] http://pastebin.com/d2ade81ea <-- lshw -C network [15:13] genii: do you know a bit about writing udev rules ? [15:13] AldarHawk-> i dont know, if you have anything on the bios to activate it..go look around in the bios settings [15:13] I am just trying to REinstall ubuntu and I keep getting thigs, Display server shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. [15:13] esox: A bit, but far from an authority. [15:13] AldarHawk: I was having trouble with it too since a recent reformat of my laptop. Upon boot up I have to run a series of commands to get my wifi to become available at the interface wlan0. I have to first start with the sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, then I have to run through a few other commands to get it up and running on my essid, you may want to try it as well if amenado hasn't already made you try them. [15:14] esox: What are you trying to accomplish? [15:14] I will play with the BIOS and see whats up [15:14] vulcar good suggestions [15:14] genii: I need to assign a fixed /dev/input/event number to a joystick [15:14] Jack_Sparrow: i will try to explain myself better.. i have a website that's have alots of direct download links to txt/doc/pdf files (share for free) and i would like to use wget in order to download just the .txt files ? does it possible ? [15:14] Aldar I can pastebin the commands i use to get the wlan0 interface up if you would like. [15:15] Kate_ yes [15:15] esox - is that a usb joystick? [15:15] * AldarHawk will be back shortly after BIOS play [15:15] danand: yes [15:15] kate_mins, Can you provide me a link to one file as an example to help me help you [15:15] AldarHawk - when you get back : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60160/ [15:16] esox - take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221 [15:16] danand, could you do me a favour (please)? - if you ssh -vvv marshcast@77.101.47.3 you'll see what i mean... it doesn't even ask for a password, but does if i'm local... [15:17] danand, does that make sense to you? [15:18] danand: and also, I have a midi gear that needs a script to have firmware loaded, wich means that now, if I plug it it doesnt start. I would like to have the script runned whe I plug it... its an usb device, but script needs roots privilege [15:18] Jack_Sparrow I got connected with internet on the pc with grub problem... can you tell me what to do again please [15:18] amorphous-> it prompts for password [15:18] Jack_Sparrow: for example http://www.textfiles.com/survival/ (let's assume that inside this website there was other types of documents (pdf,ppt,txt,doc....) and i would like to download just the .txt files without typing each document link ... (to give wget just the main html page.. and he will determine what files to download) [15:18] hi all, is it possible to change the chunk size on a linux software raid without losing the data? [15:19] amorphous - i got to the password prompt too. [15:19] amenado, it does..??!!?!? it doesn't for me :( [15:19] amorphous-> affirmative [15:19] there's a command in which a stupid fish appear on your desktop swimming around, anyone know? [15:19] amorphous-> Permission denied, please try again. [15:19] marshcast@77.101.47.3's password: [15:19] ok - thanks guys.... I'm not getting one from outside - does that mean it's the setup here in my laptop??? [15:19] amorphous - check the versions of ssh you are running on the client and server. some times that can be the root of the problem [15:20] kate_mins, that is a different question... [15:20] Jack_Sparrow: there's a command in which a stupid fish appear on your desktop swimming around, anyone know? [15:20] esox: If you know the vendor codes you could make a symlink like input/myjoystick using the /etc/udev/rules.d/50-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules as a guide [15:20] danand, .... ok - that could well be about right... i'm running feisty & gutsy... i'll check. Thank you :) [15:20] Jack_Sparrow: sorry if i didn't explain myself better... can you help me ? [15:21] amorphous - np ... now whats that password? :P [15:21] danand, is your name anand? === Shadow_mil2 is now known as Shadow_mil [15:21] fail2ban only gives you 3 goes :P [15:21] !ubotu irc [15:21] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [15:21] Is it possible to change the panel to mach-theme without compiz? [15:21] kumarphilly - no Dan :) [15:21] danand, ^^ [15:22] vulcar: I am not having luck because Ubuntu is not finding my card at all [15:22] hey guys...i just got done compiling QT4...the readme is telling me to use: su -c "make install" this is a little different than "sudo make install" could someone explain the "-c" to me? [15:22] it is coming up UNCLAIMED [15:22] ah ha... [15:22] backtracker, it isnt a command it is a compiz plugin/adon that you need to compile.. and my fish are not stupid :) [15:22] Aldarhawk try doing this : ndiswrapper -l [15:22] amorphous - :) come on ... give us a clue ... [15:22] and post the results [15:22] kate_mins-> try the -A.txt option to wget and see if that works [15:22] What logs can I look at to determine why my system keeps restarting it's self? [15:22] vulcar: it runs with no output [15:23] Jack_Sparrow Here is the pastebin of the Grub menu problem. Hope you have time to have a look http://paste.stgraber.org/1717 [15:23] k have you done a ndiswrapper -i ? [15:24] isaacj87-> -c is execute the following command which is make install in your example [15:24] kate_mins, You need to do some homework.. that question is beyond the scope of our support.... with some scripting it can be done, with a one liner.. doubtful [15:24] amenado, so essentially it's the same as "sudo make install" [15:24] vulcar: bcmwl5 driver already installed [15:24] Jack_Sparrow: ok :) thanks anyway... [15:24] genii: ok === ka2u0 is now known as ka2zzzz [15:24] try doing a remove of the driver and reinstalling the driver. [15:24] FFEMTcJ: /var/log/messages usually.

[15:25] isaacj87-> nope, you can su to someone's else account and execute that as that users id [15:25] Jack_Sparrow: want to be my teacher ? [15:25] janerik, you have xp pro on the second partition? [15:25] Jack_Sparrow: :) [15:25] kate_mins, sorry, kinda busy for that [15:25] Jack_Sparrow: its was a joke :) [15:25] Jack_Sparrow. The only thing I know that it worked fine a month ago:-) [15:25] kate_mins-> try the -A.txt option to wget and see if that works <-- you tried yet? [15:25] vulcar: when I do a -r it says No such File in Directory [15:25] Synaptic says: "xdm is prompting for login name and password, authenticating the user, and running a session." Where can I find what xdm considers a 'session'? [15:25] :S [15:26] Jack_Sparrow: i will try now.. [15:26] the thing that REALLY gets me is this was working up until 9:30 when my laptop battery died [15:26] #maximopc [15:26] aldarhawk: just to be sure, the card is working properly right? could there be a possibility that the card may be defective if it is not being found by ndiswrapper? [15:26] I've got postfix installed with tsl, and when I telnet in the handshake messages seem fine, but when I try to use it, it won't accept my password... Why? What logs might contain any relevent errors? [15:27] vulcar: it was working until my laptop battery died as I stated [15:27] janerik, What is the exact problem... please write it all on oneline [15:27] amenado, hmmm...i just tried running "su -c make install" and it gave me an authentication error [15:27] AldarHawk - alright, this is a laptop card - what type of card is it? [15:27] Any ideas why ubuntu on SUN t2000 doesn't save partion table after adding new partition on first HDD ? [15:27] Atheros Communications [15:27] if you read the pastebin you would see that :P [15:28] isaacj87-> you may as well use sudo instead of su, as it requires root to install to certain dirs [15:28] genii: This is from messages.. http://pastebin.be/9880 and this is dmseg where it looks like the restart happened.. http://pastebin.be/9881 [15:28] AldarHawk: try the following command "find / -name bcmwl5.inf" [15:28] Jack_Sparrow The problem is the grub menu loadss, whern it loads I cant choose options. Like if I want to boot on ubuntu or windows. The marker don't move when I hit th arrow keys. I do not know if it has the same problem, but when I try to access the win disk from ubuntu I get this error: hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 [15:29] not there [15:29] you will see quite a few permission denied but there should be some that list where the bcmwl5.inf file is located. [15:29] amenado, thanks for the info :) [15:29] Jack_Sparrow: its working fine :) thanks Jack ... by the way.. can i define 2 types of files ? [15:29] no I have done the sudo hack to be root :P [15:29] there is no bcmwl5 file [15:30] genii: in this file, they uses SYSFS, whats about ATTRS ? [15:30] hmm, and it says that it is currently installed. what version of ndiswrapper utils do you have installed? [15:30] 1.9 [15:30] kate_mins, not sure... I dont use it much [15:31] AldarHawk-> what do you have in /lib/firmware/`uname -r` ? pls paste in pastebin [15:31] janerik, interesting.. so the options are correct, it just wont let you chose any of them [15:31] AldarHawk, you may want to try doing a remove on the ndiswrapper commons and utils and try a reinstall to see if it will clear the file to reload it through ndiswrapper. [15:32] Jack_Sparrow: free the fish [15:32] ;) [15:32] 2.6.22-14-generic [15:32] that is all in the firmware folder [15:32] "sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdc2 /media/macdrive" all I get is "mount: not a directory" Haven't had any luck on google or forums. Anyone run into this? [15:32] backtracker, did you still want the link [15:32] hi guys [15:32] AldarHawk-> am looking for bunch of firmware files... [15:32] where can i find the .login file [15:33] backtracker, Sorry, but I am trying to troubleshoot a sound issue in alsa [15:33] Jack_Sparrow Yes that's correct. First the menu did not show when hitting escape, then I edited it to show menu as default. Now I cant move the marker. And I'm sure it's not the keyboard. All the keys work in f.eks bios. And the grub menu was fine a month ago [15:33] esox: I imagine you could use any attribute that is unique to that device as a condition to making the symlink. [15:33] i wanted to set environment variable [15:33] AldarHawk-> thats an empty dir? [15:33] What's a good program for talking to google talk clients?
