However the OSS-driver do support this card, cant ALSA use the OSS-code?

I know how to mount partitions from separately mounted drives already. [01:31] Excellent read, c-ron. [01:31] hey guys, what do I download to be able to watch wma streamed videos? [01:31] how do I edit the files.... [01:31] stroganoff: how do I edit the files [01:31] Cleared a couple of things up, helped a lot as well. [01:31] or quicktime videos [01:31] Ubuntu Studio it is! [01:31] 8giggles8 [01:32] michealPW, do you make music? [01:32] nathan42100, i mean for creating your custom DUAL CHOOSE box. then you have to start gnome-session or xfce-session (or is it xubuntu-session) with that dialogue box [01:32] Hi all [01:32] howdy Kubuntu-user [01:32] stroganoff: I still need to know how to edit them...they won't open in gedit even with sudo [01:33] !bash | nathan42100 [01:33] nathan42100: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [01:33] subsume: but these fat clients don't have a local harddrive. if you have harddisks inside your clients i would just use them as plain network clients, all apps installed locally and save lots of network traffic [01:33] !quicktime [01:33] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:33] nathan42100: use "sudo nano file" for a starter [01:33] Google hasn't been very helpful for partition management solutions in Ubuntu -- all I keep finding is stuff about Windows partitions, which is what I'm trying to get the world to get away from. [01:33] I have to edit them in nano is what you are saying stroganoff? [01:33] that crashed me [01:33] yep [01:33] and create new ones [01:34] and understand what your doing (the hard part for a noob) [01:34] so read some wesbites [01:34] LumberCartel, 'sudo fdisk -l' for a list, to make/move/alter them - i normally use gparted. [01:34] tbwnoob_ sure you did nothing wrong except change the defaultdepth? [01:34] Ah, fdisk. Thanks Dr_willis. [01:34] let me have you ati card then [01:34] Hello. I fetched the source of a package (`apt-get source pkgname`), extracted it (`tar -xzf pkgname-version.tar.gz`) and modified a .cpp file. What's the easiest way to get an installable .deb file? [01:34] yup [01:34] what version of ati should i install [01:34] LumberCartel, same name as the command under windows. :) well used to be under windows. [01:35] 8.3 8.4 or 8.2? [01:35] plus tbwnoob: paste your /var/log/Xorg.log into !paste [01:35] okay [01:35] LumberCartel, gparted will show them also - of course. but fdisk -l is a good command to get a list of all the disns on a system [01:35] subsume: bedtime for me... good luck with hardy [01:35] i think i'm gonna go install Debian on my other hard drive just to try it out [01:35] Testing out SIDux right now on some of my machines [01:36] Stroganoff, any idea how long does that gonna take to convert ? [01:36] Dr_willis: I see hda1, hda2, and hda5 only. Seems others are left out of the list? [01:36] what is Deb's default gui? [01:36] even now because i have vesa enabled now [01:36] as my driver [01:36] should i change it back to ati then to my car log? [01:36] LumberCartel, what others? It should list all that are seen by the bios. [01:36] var log? [01:36] tifine_: shoudlnt take more than 10 minutes with average settings === ce_chinnese is now known as fiton [01:36] if it's just 700mb [01:36] greetings every one [01:36] Oh. So the numbers aren't consecutive then. [01:37] Stroganoff, no its 8gb :P [01:37] this may be inappropriate, but is hardy heron a rip on hairy hardon? [01:37] k that will take some time [01:37] LumberCartel, thats how extended and logical and primary partitions are named. 1-4 = primaries, 5+ = logicals/extendds [01:37] tifine_: i hope your output file is not 700mb ;) [01:38] c-ron: LOL never thought about that [01:38] hmm [01:38] hello? [01:38] every time i plug in my ATI video card, i can't get Ubuntu to start up [01:38] !lol | kindofabuzz [01:38] kindofabuzz: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [01:38] okay im going to try different drivers and see if any one is better [01:39] i have a question: the Fridge page say that 8.04 is going to be LTS, while the Kubuntu announce say that it is NOT. what is correct? [01:39] hello all [01:39] ubotu, has no sense of humor [01:39] what? so were supposed to say" hey i laughed at that"?

[01:42] Schmeiz, some people use the ati installer (which is that .run file) - but its not reccomended.. envy is not recomended either. :) but good luck [01:42] Dr_willis: Thanks. I'm familiar with some of this stuff from NetBSD. It seems that Linux does things quite differently.

Whenever I set the settings and hit apply and save file. The changes dont take affect after I restart the X Server [01:42] Dr_willis, thanks again for all your help. I'll be reading for a while then I'll return if I have any more questions. [01:43] LumberCartel, bsd names the drives in a different way also.. GRUB also names them in a different way also. :) [01:43] Yup. [01:43] Stroganoff: i notice in the repos that there is also kaffiene-mozilla, would that work as well?

[01:48] I was scrolled down all the way [01:48] anyone know why msn support would suddenly stop working with pidgin and how i can fix it? [01:48] subsume, i thought you could get another room here, guess not... [01:48] that is what I did Dr Willis [01:48] crackheadjunky: =) [01:48] using the restriced tools [01:48] I do both [01:48] I did update my ubuntu to hardy beta. Its good but when i launch compiz, it wont show borders. I have installed emerald. I have ati's graphic card. [01:48] subsume, ifconfig sees it? [01:48] Hi! [01:48] I did update my ubuntu to hardy beta. Its good but when i launch compiz, it wont show borders. I have installed emerald. I have ati's graphic card. [01:48] urthmover, tried envy? [01:48] subsume, do you see your network in the list? [01:48] Sorry spam :S [01:48] crackheadjunky: the device? yeah? but the device ahs no IP or anything [01:48] crackheadjunky: yeah, its there. [01:48] and it works...but when I reboot nothing sticks...and yes I havve Envy installed [01:48] hey guys i'm using drupal6 when I try to do changes to the navigation like disable or drag and move an item and then save it won't make the change. Any ideas? [01:49] crackheadjunky: i just can't connecto internet [01:49] urthmover, thats what you said. :) or thats now how i read it.. - 'I have manually compiled the nvidia' is not using restricted-manager [01:49] For somereason I can't get a wireless connection anymore. When I click on the network manager the wireless netowkrs don't show up anymore. and when I click on manual configuration wireless networks still doesn't show up as an option. However if I go to the network editor I can see the last reuter I was on, and it's info [01:49] if i'm out of CDs can I just burn the ubuntu live cd image to a DVD and use that? (the target machine does have a DVD drive) [01:49] In hardy Heron. I'm in xp right now [01:49] subsume, ok, have you configured wep or anything? [01:49] complains of ssl support and im assuming its tied to the firefox install but the libs seem to be there [01:49] crackheadjunky: lots of other computers are using web just fine (including me now) [01:49] well I meant that the nvidia precompile kernel program from a CLI was done [01:49] urthmover, check your kernel versions, also check your xorg.conf to see if its some how getting changed. I guess. Its possible by trying envy, or other tools. you may have confused some things. [01:49] crackheadjunky: fresh install of ubuntu didn't get the network right [01:49] subsume, do you have the network encrypted? [01:50] crackheadjunky: no [01:50] possibly I'll look there thanks [01:50] subsume, what version of ubuntu are you running? [01:50] Hey, can anyone get the Fasttrack plugin for GiFT to connect?

[01:51] crackheadjunky: yeah [01:51] subsume, sweet [01:51] peter-: you dont upgrade with ATI and compiz to beta. [01:51] kopete msn works fine just pidgin is messed up [01:51] peter-: open a terminal (alt+f2 -> xterm) and type compiz --replace [01:52] Stroganoff, How i can upgrade to beta? [01:52] peter-: see if there are errors [01:52] oh 8.04 for ati cards just do "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz" [01:52] kopete rocks [01:52] peter-: you HAVE upgraded to beta (HARDY is beta) [01:52] in terminal [01:52] firefox is installed in /usr/lib/firefox and the firefox beta has been placed in /usr/bin/firefox3 [01:52] anyone using firefox 3? [01:52] Stroganoff, I mean compiz and emerald [01:53] kubuntu hardy has kde 3.5, but remix has 4? [01:53] err /usr/lib/firefox3 that is [01:53] peter-: noobs shouldnt go beta. post you logfiles with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org into #ubuntu+1 or just give up on compiz for now ;) [01:53] firefox3 is great but seems its borked my ssl support in pidgin? [01:53] i see, peter- [01:54] what does firefox have to do with pidgen? [01:54] digitalslave, thats weird [01:54] digitalslave, i dont believe that is the problem with pidgin... [01:54] digitalslave: install firefox-2 [01:54] ive read the ssl libs are contained in the firefox folder? [01:54] digitalslave, not for pidgin, i dont think [01:54] ive removed and reinstalled both firefox and pidgin from repos and its still borked [01:55] digital: try the firefox forums, forums.mozillazine.org [01:55] digitalslave: or have you installed firefox3 manually over your old firefox? [01:55] are you on gutsy? [01:55] Every time I try to update or install a package it additionally tries to install "sun-java6-doc (6-03-0ubuntu2)". I think the reason for this is because I tried to install the sun-java6-doc in the past and it failed, now it tries to perform this operation every time, and it always fails. How can I remove this package from the list so it does not try to update at all? [01:55] no firefox3 is kept seperate in /usr/lib/firefox3 - yes gutsy [01:55] Stroganoff, when its gonna do the conversion does it gonna make the 8gb .avi file or 700mb file ? [01:55] how to config ubuntu, so i can use wireless card for internet, and config eth0 to be 10.0.1.100 and use both interfaces the same time? when i plug in wired eth0, wirelss turns off automatically [01:56] digitalslave: still, you should install fx3 with the swiftfox repos for now [01:57] is there a way in the Gnome environment to prevent applications from stealing focus? [01:57] all i know is shortly after running firefox3 msn disconnected and hasnt been able to utilize ssl since [01:57] tifine_ that depends on your settings in that conversion manager and of the bitrate of the mkv. you should use a bitrate between 900 and 1100 kbit/s for your output file [01:57] if its not HD [01:57] digitalslave: does this help any? http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/FAQssl [01:58] i read that it just says to build it yourself [01:58] digitalslave: sudo apt-get purge firefox [01:58] Stroganoff, I just installed the mencoder and use the simple command i.e. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MEncoder [01:58] but ssl should be included in the gutsy repo no? [01:58] and remove ~/.mozilla [01:58] can anyone help me with port forwarding? [01:58] thats right digitalslave, i have no real clue what the source of the problem might be [01:58] What would be the easiest way to migrate an ubuntu server off a VM to a physical machine. [01:58] xp_prg_, on router, which one do you have ? [01:58] Libpurple needs to be compiled with SSL support in order to work with MSN, Novell GroupWise, and some Jabber/XMPP servers which support or require it, such as Google Talk. You will need either GNUTLS and all its dependencies or Mozilla NSS and NSPR. [01:58] doing the purge - didnt do that before just removed [01:59] xp_prg_: read the manual of your router [01:59] Stroganoff, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60818/ [01:59] I am trying to do an ssh tunnel [01:59] can anyone assist me?

[02:01] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:01] purge and removing .mozilla did nothing same error [02:01] !wireless [02:01] if tried LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the lib and that didnt work either just as a test [02:02] digitalslave: did you see that ssl link i posted? did that help any? [02:02] peter-: /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge and [02:02] expo_edge [02:02] Can anyone tell me why my NTFS drive is no longer showing up on ubuntu but it shows up on vista? [02:02] Is there any utility, that can generate call graphs from the source-code ? [02:02] no thats for compiling yourself with ssl support which i shouldnt need to do for gutsy [02:02] AnthraxDream, check your fstab file [02:02] Where can I find that? [02:03] gedit fstab [02:03] digitalslave: open pidgin from command line and giev ssl errors [02:03] is samba really supposed to take this long to communicate? [02:03] AnthraxDream: check the output of: grep ntfs /etc/fstab [02:03] digitalslave: Uninstall any previous versions of Pidgin using apt, Synaptic, or similar. Then install the libnss3-dev package with Synaptic or apt-get install libnss3-dev. Now re-run ./configure, make, make install. Alternatively, use apt-get build-dep gaim (or pidgin on Gusty, although gaim will work) to get all of Pidgin's dependencies, then rebuild Pidgin. [02:03] i sent a job to the tray over 2 minutes ago [02:03] AnthraxDream: and you will see the line, if it's there [02:03] Well it was showing up before. It just stopped like 20 minutes ago [02:03] AnthraxDream, you could do what prince says, or you could just gedit fstab [02:03] taken from http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/FAQssl [02:03] kindofabuzz, it should be in the repo already [02:03] What would be the easiest way to migrate an ubuntu server off a VM to a physical machine. [02:04] crackheadjunky: gedit + config files sucks, even non sudo :p [02:04] Stroganoff, it works... [02:04] it was working and just stopped after running firefox3 [02:04] on the other hand. nvm [02:04] Stroganoff, Did the line end on and or are you pasting new line? [02:04] peter- yes there was more to this line [02:04] you log is not that long [02:05] you are able to ctrl+f gconf [02:05] ok [02:05] AnthraxDream, you could also go to terminal and type in fdisk -l [02:05] Stroganoff, they trapped the error so it just says there is no ssl support [02:05] how do i change the player that runs when i insert a dvd? [02:05] AnthraxDream, and give us the output [02:05] who are they? [02:05] Stroganoff: Alt+F2 > gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:05] i want to use vlc instead of totem, which always plays the director's cut trac [02:05] Stroganoff: Gedit loves you!:) [02:05] pidgin dev? [02:05] 8giggles8 [02:05] even for configuration modifications. [02:05] Stroganoff, Thanks. Im asking again if i have an problem :p [02:05] michealPW, creating root owned .gedit files in ~? [02:05] somebody know if there is q function in Amarok equivalent to Winamps Jump to Track? [02:05] q=a [02:06] i've already tried right-clicking the dvd icon to see whether i could change the app the same way you would change the app for an .mp3 file or something. no option in that properties dialog would do it, though [02:06] can i disable the login for ubuntu at the start? [02:06] Stroganoff: Yea, well, in Gedit's configuration you can disable the creation of the ~ backups, IIRC. [02:06] it's also not in system > preferences > preferred applications [02:06] Stroganoff: Added fileIO weight anyways, right?:) [02:06] how do i sign up for the weekly news letter ? [02:06] lets say I have a little script which mounts my nfs /home drives. where can I put this to instantiate it? [02:06] lts.conf? [02:06] michealPW well you can? thats nice. are you giving me noob commands (alt+f2) plus special knowledge? [02:06] thanx [02:07] Stroganoff: Of course! Kate > Gedit, too. [02:07] subsume, sorry, no good there... [02:07] crackheadjunky: =) [02:07] whatever [02:07] emacs [02:07] Hi, im going to install ubuntu for my server, however how do i have a gui access instead of sshing into the server since i will be installing ubuntu-desktop as well? [02:07] Stroganoff: I'm newbie, but I have a feeling Gedit and Kate build from the same OSS project, heehee:) [02:07] GEIS, just boot the disk, it is a live cd, then install it with the install icon [02:07] Stroganoff, So do i remove that line what you said? [02:07] initiate_edge [02:08] with the gconf editor tool, yes [02:08] and the other line, too [02:08] yes [02:08] hope it works [02:08] i wouldnt think so, peter- [02:08] Stroganoff, Why? [02:09] peter- feeling ;) [02:09] Stroganoff, And what other line? [02:09] Stroganoff, Ok. [02:09] how bad is the performance when I use an encrypted file system? It's is maybe better to create a encrypted patition for the user home? [02:09] i remove that initiate_edge key [02:09] peter-: you are on fglrx, right? [02:09] then? [02:09] YYepe. [02:09] then retry? [02:09] k [02:10] Hi, im going to install ubuntu for my server, however how do i have a gui access instead of sshing into the server since i will be installing ubuntu-desktop as well? (what i mean is how to i connect it with a gui access instead of sshing) [02:10] GEIS bad idea to install the desktop [02:11] if you dont want to surf and watch movies on the server [02:11] there are web interface projects for servers === Kr0ntabz is now known as Kr0ntab [02:11] not much has changed with ubuntu server since 5.1 has it ? [02:11] for basic/ultimate remote access you have to install the "ssh" package, you can access it from windows with "putty" [02:12] GIES [02:12] GEIS [02:12] ? [02:12] Yes it has.. [02:12] Stroganoff, Was there that other line? [02:12] GEIS, read my messages. [02:12] above [02:12] i know [02:12] k [02:12] but i need the use of amule [02:12] use mldonkey, GEIS [02:12] and amule nongui version doesn't work perfectly [02:13] Stroganoff, nongui? [02:13] yep [02:13] when i try to install ndisgtk it says some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server [02:14] where do i change the preference that causes totem to launch when i insert a dvd? [02:14] GEIS: if you really want to install a desktop you should use xubuntu + the "vino" vnc server [02:14] when i suspend ubuntu 7.10 at my laptop, i dont have a network connection anymore after resuming from suspend. wny help ? [02:14] Stroganoff, using a web interface to control mldonkey? [02:14] how can i restart my wifi after resuming (and it doesnt work) [02:15] ifconfig up/down doesnt work [02:15] GEIS, web interface is built into mldonkey [02:15] read some docs about mldonkey... [02:16] only vnc server works with gui access? no inbuild applications that allows me to setup gui control? [02:16] GEIS, you can use X forwarding [02:16] rather complicated and doesnt work with windows [02:16] I've installed commercial drivers for nvidia tnt2.after that i ran my os once more.my ubuntu 7.04 is up to date.problem:hi-res=800x600 [02:16] Stroganoff, X11 forwarding is really simple [02:17] and you can SSH the remote machine using windows too [02:17] anyway GEIS, you may not want to install a desktop but keep it nice and easy with mldonkey [02:17] (via something like putty) [02:17] HinHin, thanks for the heads up [02:17] hmm... if memory serves you need to enable it in the sshconfig file [02:18] how do i install mldonkey if i have no gui in the first place to control the web interface? [02:18] GEIS, you set up mldonkey with the command line [02:18] and config files [02:19] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto [02:19] and read the manpage or a beginner tutorial about mldonkey [02:19] Stroganoff, Can you help me with this compiz? [02:19] Is there a way to restart to a particular entry of the menu.lst from a command line? [02:19] peter-, i have almost no own experience with compiz [02:19] Stroganoff, and GEIS you might want to look into X11 fowarding [02:19] http://thebadness.org/2007/09/x11-forwarding-in-ubuntu/ [02:19] Ok [02:19] Then [02:20] i do recommend a fast connection though... [02:20] HinHin: always promoting the cause? ;) [02:20] Help me [02:20] nope [02:20] the cause? [02:20] nvm ;) [02:21] How do I go about setting up my wireless connection?

[02:50] w30 wait until you run into problems ;) [02:50] daved: it says update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/boinc-client exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) [02:50] Stroganoff: thanks but is there some sort of batch script that will install deps and then convert?

[03:00] i'm ure there's a fix for it [03:00] cedega sounded like a good idea, but i dont wanna pay [03:00] cory: you have to pay for windows [03:00] i dont [03:00] it comes free for me [03:00] cedage cheaper than windows [03:00] you ve payed to it [03:01] ok all, lets move this cedega-vs-windows talk to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:01] cory__: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoverGrub [03:01] anyone tried Mepis? any good?

[03:03] Schmiez just startx [03:04] oh lol [03:04] !azureas [03:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about azureas - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:04] startx gave me a black screen [03:04] :( [03:04] would have been to easy ;) [03:04] !azureus |Nasra [03:04] Nasra: azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo [03:04] help! if i dd'd my hard drive and created an .img (compressed it) could i somehow mount a partition with this image? plz help! [03:05] lol yeah of course, its never that easy :P [03:05] Schmiez: gnome? [03:05] fab4fan: you need to edit /etc/fstab. If you don't know how then check out google and see what advice comes up there. [03:05] nebnav: (as root) mount -o loop /path/to/.img /mnt/point [03:05] kindofabuzz: hmm? what about gnome? [03:05] what WM are you trying to start? [03:05] ubuntu [03:06] i've got an ATI Raedon 9250 PCI card [03:06] so gnome? [03:06] and i can't get ubuntu to show up with it [03:06] yea gnome [03:06] Schmiez: try this dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:06] daved: i know about loop devices, but could i mount the image as the main hard drive and use it. [03:06] try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [03:06] fab4fan: "/dev/hda3 /diri ext3 defaults 1 1"; thats opne of mine [03:06] opne/one [03:06] nebnav: you want to boot off of it? [03:06] can i rename a mountpoint in Gparted ? [03:06] so I've followed the instrucitons on the wiki, to get zfs working through FUSE but it fails, restarting with a error found at pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60821/ [03:07] any thoughts ? [03:07] ythe1300: i tried doing that :/ [03:07] :( [03:07] nothing? [03:07] w30: in your fstab file ? [03:07] it walks me through the whole procedure [03:07] Schmiez: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [03:07] daved: yeah i know it sounds crazy but some sort of netboot or configure grub or something. pxe maybe. [03:07] alright give me one moment [03:08] kjp: pastie the contents of /etc/init.d/zfs-fuse [03:08] hey join #linuxoutlaws :) [03:08] fab4fan: yep! "/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_c vfat user,exec,rw,noauto,iocharset=utf8,umask=0 0 0"; another example [03:08] or listen to the podcast bring linux user community closer together [03:08] :) [03:08] nebnav: it's technically possible, and you want to look towards advanced grub configs.. pxe and netboot arent going to help you [03:08] kindofabuzz: i just get a black screen like always [03:09] yeah your xorg.conf is screwed [03:09] what can i do to fix it? [03:09] fab4fan: the mount point has to exist. like /diri and /mnt/win_c [03:09] did you do what ythe1300 suggested? [03:09] yeah [03:09] hmm [03:10] Schmiez: the command I gave you earlier should have worked :( [03:10] i finish it and i dont know what to do afterwards [03:10] reboot? [03:10] w30: so I create the mountpoint first ? [03:10] yeah i try that and i still have the same problem [03:10] fab4fan: the command mkdir works for that if you don't know. [03:10] fab4fan: yep. [03:10] Schmiez: can you boot with the live CD? [03:10] w30: thanks, I know the command mkdir [03:10] no [03:10] (make sure you have the onboard off) [03:10] hit trl-alt f7 [03:11] ctrl [03:11] daved: replace the ramdisk or something? probably not. [03:11] me? [03:11] w30: about 7 years ago I used Unix on the job, but it's been a w hile [03:11] just to make sure you're not in a vt [03:11] nothin happens when i do that [03:11] yeah Schmiez [03:11] nebnav: the "easiest" (and take that with a grain of salt) way would be to resize partitions to make room for a paritition the same size or bigger than your .img, dd the .img on to it and boot from that [03:11] fab4fan: in fstab be sure and use the complete path with / and everything for clarity. [03:11] w30: what are the parameters "1 1" in the fstab mean ? [03:11] i couldn't get the live cd to work either, so i used the alternate [03:12] kjp2: paste the contents of /etc/init.d/zfs-fuse onto paste.ubuntu-nl.org [03:12] daved: coming. [03:12] Has anyone notice that gnome 2.22 is slow? [03:12] fab4fan: look at man fstab for that stuff [03:12] kindofabuzz: nothing happens when i do that [03:12] hi im having trouble with gnome, http://pastebin.com/f7da51a6e [03:12] w30: got it, forgot about "man" === Shadow_mil is now known as Shadow|naked [03:12] * RabidWeezle looks at his dvd::rip [03:12] Schmiez: is this a fresh install?

[03:16] yowshi, monkey island 2 runs well in vbox ;) [03:16] Hi, would someone be knowing a quick (easier) method of converting ~ 30 images from .GIF to .JPEG ? ( i.e. without having to open each individual image in GIMP and choosing "save as" option individually for each of those images , which is time consuming) [03:16] kjp2, change the line if [ $COUNTER = 10 ]; then to have == instead of = [03:16] one should use scummVM though [03:16] Stroganoff: i just tried to run starcontrol 2 [03:16] darkcrab, it's something to do with glx and compositing, it's ALWAYS alot faster to disable compositing before you run a gl/glx game [03:16] and before that starcraft [03:16] need some bash help with the following script: http://pastebin.com/d6b561960 [03:16] :( [03:16] k thank you Rabidweezle [03:17] Stroganoff: it just runs so freaking slow [03:17] Is there a service I can stop and restart in order to have my user groups refresh without logging out and back in? [03:17] you have any other ideas kindofabuzz, or ythe1300? [03:17] Stroganoff, it runs well in dosbox too. [03:17] lines 13-19 are the issue. if its parmater set to stacked, it does not work properly [03:17] yowshi: use dosbox [03:17] darkcrab: do you have a nvidia propriatory driver? [03:17] starcraft is a windows game starcontrol 2 is a dos [03:17] Schmiez: no man that's kind of messed up [03:17] Schmiez: try rebooting into recovery mode, hit esc so you get the grub [03:17] cabrioleur, i like you lurking factoid bots [03:17] ooops replace line 19 with xrandr --output VGA --$movetoside LVDS [03:17] if you don't already get it [03:17] hi, I have a network with Uubuntu 7.10 and Windows Vista, I want to print from my vista laptop, I can but I have to click in the network and put a username and password to do it. Is there a way to do it automatically without submitting a password? === Shadow_mil is now known as Shadow|wasted [03:17] ok [03:18] no w30, I have a integrated intel chipset with an intel graphics card. [03:18] and yeah i would normally use dosbox for starcon 2 but for starcraft wines gotten a little screwy for starcraft [03:18] wouldnt ya know it, as soon as I ask it works [03:18] daved: same error. [03:18] Stroganoff, I'm a long term dosbox user, as well as dosemu. I need my Betrayal at Krondor from time to time and dosbox is a lifesaver. [03:18] dosbox is amazing [03:18] alright i'm in recovery mode [03:18] didn't mean or wanted to know that, cabri. [03:18] now what? [03:18] Schmiez: now do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:19] cabrioleur: yeah but i want virtualbox to run xo so i have a sure fire way to run any windows game i want [03:19] wine is buggy and breaks from release to release [03:19] Schmiez: i'm not a pro at this, i'm pretty much googlin' for ya lol [03:19] kjp: does "stop" work and "restart" not work? [03:19] yowshi, invest in vmware. [03:19] Can I refresh my group memberships without logging out and back in? [03:19] i like wine it just isnt as reliable as i would like [03:19] daved: stop fails as well. [03:20] cabrioleur: why should i pay twice to run an os?\ [03:20] dosbox is great, but you know, I noticed though that the windows version runs descent better, maybe I need to use their svn :/ [03:20] the newest wine is pretty good compared to other versions [03:20] yowshi, you pay 1 for os, and 1 for virtualization that works. [03:20] #winehq [03:20] wine is getting better by the day it seems, I can't wait for their 1.0 release [03:20] yowshi, if you want a sure-fire way to run any windows game you want, then buy cedega [03:20] darkcrab: the binary driver from Nvidia is causing problems like that and also loosing f7 when switched from one of the other f(n) consoles. I used flglx or whatever it was in beryl to get away from that. [03:20] RabidWeezle: i found that the windows version ran sloooooow. but i was using a p2 450 at the time [03:20] mackid: wine > cedega [03:21] How do you change your ati depth to 16 without crashing your xserver [03:21] mackid, cedega doesn't work for all games.

[03:21] I have an extra internal hdd that I've been trying to add to fstab under a different directory, but it won't mount, I have to mount it with root and it calls it "disk" like it's an external hdd, and each time I boot, it has a different UUID, anyone know why this may be? [03:21] yowshi: or install windows, then, i guess. and yes, you're right cabrioleur [03:21] frameskipping can mean a world of difference in dosbox [03:22] Hey is anyone useing proftpd? [03:22] kindofabuzz: is their anyhing specific i should put in the reconfigure when i'm going through this? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [03:22] I've been trying to install cnet (a network simulator), but every time I try to run make, I get the same error: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size. What should I look for in changing the default int size to match the one on my 64-bit machine? [03:22] Schmiez: you may want to post this one up in the forums and see if a mod can help out [03:22] not that i can think of, maybe try vesa? [03:22] zachwlewis: it's not an error if it's a warning [03:22] zachwlewis: good luck with that [03:22] Schmiez: just the video [03:22] Im having a permissions problem with proftpd, I cant amend/reset any files [03:22] hello every one [03:22] zachwlewis: its probably not 64bit clean [03:22] RabidWeezle, It's strange, but my dosbox on slackware (from linuxpackages) runs times faster that on anything else. Never understood why. Must be the config. [03:23] calc: The way it's set up, it treats all warning as errors and fails to compile. [03:23] new to lenux and this chat [03:23] can some one please teach me more [03:23] zachwlewis: its probably not really a warning for a 64bit machine [03:23] calc: I've not got a 64-bit version of Ubuntu installed. [03:23] wenceslao, you need a book! [03:23] zachwlewis: an int and a pointer are different sizes on 64bit systems [03:23] i have one [03:23] man Gov't Mule rocks =) [03:23] zachwlewis: oh i see [03:23] kindofabuzz: sounds like a good Idea, I know that my 3870 won't boot with the Ati driver. [03:23] but i also want to make more friends cabrioleur [03:23] zachwlewis: you should... consider.. installing amd64 ubuntu if you have a 64bit machine [03:23] cabrioleur, probably was compiled better by the packager [03:23] zachwlewis: so you are running ubuntu i386 then? [03:24] I have an extra internal hdd that I've been trying to add to fstab under a different directory, but it won't mount, I have to mount it with root and it calls it "disk" like it's an external hdd, and each time I boot, it has a different UUID, anyone know why this may be? [03:24] calc: How can I check that? I'm actually not 100%. [03:24] how can i update my fire fox software [03:24] all done and now rebooting [03:24] How do i get someone to remote desktop my computer?????????? [03:24] zachwlewis: $ uname -a [03:24] Schmiez: Crosses fingers [03:24] wenceslao, then ask questions if you don't understand something. Beside, I'm glad you are trying Linux out. [03:24] * Schmiez crosses finger [03:24] s [03:24] zachwlewis: what is your processor? if just a pentium then yeah you have i386 [03:24] zachwlewis: assuming you are running the 32bit verison of Ubuntu then removing the -werror from the compiler options should let it compile [03:24] hello everyone [03:24] i have already downloaded the newest version [03:25] but the comp is still running the old version [03:25] Schmiez: hehe [03:25] Linux cottontail 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux [03:25] kindofabuzz: some pentium 4's can run amd64 version [03:25] can some one help me with that [03:25] CRINGO the only reason it could have a new uuid is if you manually changed it, or the partition definition somehow got changed. [03:25] zachwlewis: you are using the 64bit version [03:25] zachwlewis: that's amd64. hence x86_64 [03:25] i got a bunch of text [03:25] i just got apache to work but i can't view any jpgs on my server, it says forbidden [03:25] wenceslao, is it a .run file or a tar.gz? [03:25] calc: Okay, I see. [03:25] asking me to type in my ser login [03:25] calc: ? [03:25] calc: didn't know that, but why would you wanna do that? [03:25] zachwlewis: so you can't make that code work as is, because its not written properly and won't work on 64bit [03:25] run file [03:25] wenceslao: there are books out there now for you distribution if it's a major one. [03:25] daved: any other ideas ? [03:25] How do i get someone to remote desktop my computer?????????? [03:25] is ubuntu [03:25] ythe1300: ? [03:25] vncviewer [03:26] wenceslao, "chmod +x *.run", "./nameofthefile.run" [03:26] calc: Any way to force it to run in 32-bit mode, or run a 32-bit emulator on my machine? [03:26] calc: there where no 64bit P4's [03:26] zachwlewis: not easily [03:26] donkey: vncviewer [03:26] fk7_se how do i get that [03:26] thx cabrioleur i will try it [03:26] wenceslao: Also play around on Ubuntu.com and their forums and wiki's and howtos [03:26] ythe1300, kindofabuzz: i did it, rebooted, boot normally, and now i've got a text based login [03:26] wenceslao, right click the file, set the attributes that it can be executed, then in a terminal run it like: sudo ./nameoffile.run [03:26] ythe1300: oh i think i am getting confused there were 'Pentium D' that were 64bit [03:26] type it into terminal, are you using ubuntu? [03:26] yes [03:26] Schmiez: [03:26] Schmiez: so making progress? [03:26] i hope this is [03:26] Schmiez: try start X now? [03:26] lol [03:26] ok rabidweezle let me do that [03:26] if you type vncviewer in terminal it will ask to the ip to connect to [03:27] Schmiez: is that the server ubuntu? [03:27] Schmiez: good chance it won't work but.. [03:27] wenceslao, I would uninstall firefox from synaptic first [03:27] ythe1300: actually the Pentium 4 620 was 64bit iirc [03:27] http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8AB [03:27] since you are breaking away from apt-get when you install like that [03:27] I did sudo adduser $USER groupx and I don't want to log out because I'm in the middle of something. Is there any way to refresh my group memberships without logging out? [03:27] ^ evidence of 64bit P4's [03:27] the Pentium D's were 64bit and so were the Pentium 4 6xx series [03:28] donkey: did it work? [03:28] justinmiller87, you could 'ssh in' or start a xterm with a login shell..perhaps.. but that would do it just for that one shell [03:28] Schmiez: status? [03:28] wehjkbfjih [03:28] Does anybody remember an easy book about linux? It was about magic, and using Linux was described as using magic, commands were spells etc? My little brother became a guru (on mac x) thanks to this book. [03:28] justinmiller87, its a bit of a pain :) [03:28] fk7_se i got the box to pop up [03:28] Hmm, ssh into my localhost. Interesting. [03:28] calc: I've got an install of Ubuntu on a vmWare machine on Windows. Do you think it would work there? [03:28] zachwlewis: you could setup vmware or something like that to run a 32bit version of Ubuntu [03:28] it says fatal server error: no screens found XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer)...... [03:28] ect [03:28] calc: hivemind. [03:29] fk7_se how do you get it to connect. when it asks for server do you type the ip? cause my ip isnt working if so [03:29] cabrioleur, best book I ever got was the dummies books [03:29] zachwlewis: yes that might work, the code is buggy though in general so it might have other issues [03:29] zachwlewis, sure it will. [03:29] calc: What code is buggy in general? [03:29] zachwlewis: casting int to pointer is a bad thing to do and shows that the person who wrote the code didn't know what they were doing [03:29] hello, i've been having a bit of a problem with my sound, in that it stopped working completely. =( [03:29] well you also have to turn desktop sharing on, on the computer you are connecting to [03:29] Schmiez: keep messing with the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, change stuff around, try VESA [03:29] cabrioleur, the "secrets" books are really good too [03:29] try VESA? [03:29] Okay, time for a new query. [03:29] * calc got to run, wife is nagging him to go to bed [03:30] RabidWeezle, it was for kids, or with some kind of charm. I used manpages, but I wish I remember the name. [03:30] calc, zachwlewis: what about using 32-bit libraries? I run a 32-bit version of firefox, for example, on my amd64 install of ubuntu (so flash works) [03:30] kindofabuzz: what is VESA [03:30] it is under System-->Preferences-->Remote Desktop [03:30] I have an nVidia 8800GT, and since I've installed it, I can't get any advanced graphics effects working. How can I install new drivers for it? [03:30] I want to access a directory that I don't have permission for (/var/lib/php4 wants root) I pointed my CLI there, but "ls" gives a permission denied, should I just change the directories permissions? or can I sudo and just don't know how? [03:30] you should have the VESA option when re configuring [03:30] where [03:31] calc: I stand corrected 620 does appear to be 64bit enabled [03:31] RabidWeezle: how do you adjust frame skipping in virtualbox?\ [03:31] wait, wehn you rebooted you didn't do recovery again did ya? [03:31] cabrioleur, I started with Redhat 6 for dummies, linux in a nutshell (more complicated by oreilly), and linux secrets 13 years ago [03:31] zachwlewis, you can install the newest ones from the official website. Just download them, uninstall what you have, and run the script. [03:31] kindofabuzz: no [03:31] yowshi, it's all in the man page "man dosbox" [03:31] not dosbox [03:32] i am not running starcraft in dosbox [03:32] oooh [03:32] cabrioleur: What official site? nVidia? How do I uninstall my current drivers? [03:32] cabrioleur: is that the best way? I just checked "use restricted drivers" in some preference or system config program [03:32] I run starcraft in wine [03:32] kindofabuzz: no [03:32] zachwlewis, find them in the synaptic tool. Yes, they have a nice, user friendly installer on nvidia.com. [03:32] what vid card you got Schmiez ? [03:32] I installed some package from nVidia and have "use restricted drivers" checked, but it still doesn't work. [03:32] RabidWeezle: lets see i have issues with how wine handles starcraft like the bnet problems [03:32] screens not refreshing and stuff [03:33] kindofabuzz 9250 [03:33] oh ouch [03:33] hrm [03:33] kindofabuzz: ATI Radeon 9250 [03:33] i have a problem guys [03:33] can you help me? [03:33] I donno if virtual does frame skipping, I've never touched it [03:33] zachwlewis: go to system > preferences > display/graphics and see what driver you're using [03:33] try this, get back to your prompt [03:33] zachwlewis, before you do that, I'm gonna ask you something. [03:33] so i installed windows xp in virtualbox with the hope of being able to run games fluidly [03:33] ok [03:33] recovery mode? [03:33] zachwlewis, do you have a 3d acceleration?

I want to use one with wget, but I can't find the certificates [03:34] mutantman: calm down [03:34] ok [03:34] cabrioleur: No, it will only let me keep the "none" setting in the appearance manager. [03:34] first stop spamming, then I'll tell you [03:34] lol [03:34] im sorry [03:34] mutantman: no one will help you when you spam, better luck next time [03:34] zachwlewis: us synaptic and type in nvidia in the search box and look for the nvidia drivers. After that you need to enable the propriatory drivers in the preferences>non-free drivers or whatever it is. [03:34] i never used this bfore [03:34] This is lame!!! [03:34] well i'm already in recovery mode [03:34] so i'll do it here i gues [03:34] mutantman: have you tried the urban terror forums?? [03:34] guess [03:34] yes [03:34] i looked everywhere [03:34] i cant find anything!!! [03:34] zachwlewis, open a terminal, and type glxgears, and tell me if you can see the wheels. [03:34] guys, i need help from someone that runs World of Warcraft on Wine [03:34] I'll pm you [03:34] is urban terrorist any good? [03:34] cabrioleur: What drivers should I look for to uninstall? [03:34] if i find how to do it, you owe me $20 [03:35] mackid: that might work but he would have to make it compile as 32bit code as well instead of native (64bit) [03:35] me or mutantman? lol [03:35] * calc really has to go now, bbl [03:35] zachwlewis@cottontail:~$ glxgears [03:35] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [03:35] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [03:35] mutant [03:35] @ kindofabuzz lol [03:35] ok [03:35] calc yeah exactly. ok bye [03:35] Hi - Does anyone know the status of pulseaudio and jack? i asked in the ubuntustudio chat but everyone seems to be afk atm. I am trying to figure out from the forums, but a link to a project status page or something would be appreciated, or an answer if someone happens to be up on that [03:35] PLZ HELP [03:35] i need to know how to make an urban terror dedicated server!!! ^1please help meh [03:35] zachwlewis, the problem is that the drivers are rarely a problem. 95% it's your xorg.conf file or compiz itself. [03:35] mutantman: http://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htm [03:35] I want to access a directory that I don't have permission for (/var/lib/php4 wants root) I pointed my CLI there, but "ls" gives a permission denied, should I just change the directories permissions? or can I sudo and just don't know how? [03:35] k brb [03:35] !helpme | mutantman [03:35] mutantman: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [03:35] mutantman: you didn't look very hard [03:35] mutantman: please stop repeating your question. Wait at least 15 minutes between repeats. [03:35] zachwlewis: system menu > administration > screens & graphics > graphics card tab, what is listed under driver [03:36] lol [03:36] alright [03:36] so i'm in the recovery mode now [03:36] UncleChevitz, "sudo ls /var/lib/php4" [03:36] i was at this site!!! [03:36] it doesnt say anything... [03:36] oh, nikrud, you were helping me earlier before I passed out :p, my /home wasn't mounting by itself, so you told me to do fsck in safe mode, i did with -n just to see what would happen and it said there were errors, but it said I was mounted to /, so i did umount / and then ran fsck and it said there weren't any errors [03:36] !enter | mutantman [03:36] mutantman: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:36] vesa [03:36] k thnx duh I guess [03:37] Schmiez: do a sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:37] zachwlewis: click the menu and try to change it to nvidia, is nvidia listed? [03:37] CRINGO so, did you do the check on home and it work aftewards? [03:37] nikrud, my fstab had 1s and 2s on multiple fs's for fsck, so i took them all to 0 for all except / and /home and it boots fine [03:37] mutantman, check your pm [03:37] lol how? [03:37] when pidgin 2.4.0 will be in repos? [03:37] what irc client? [03:37] mackid: Should I use the "Choose driver by model" radio button? [03:37] zachwlewis: under "choose driver by name" [03:37] mutantman: http://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htmhttp://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htmhttp://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htm [03:37] mackid: Or, in the choose driver by name> [03:37] cool, now I remember, the fsck stuff in fstab [03:37] IT DOESNT HELP [03:37] mutantman: Looks like it says *everything* you need on that page. What are you having trouble with? [03:38] One is just called "nvidia". Is this it? [03:38] i cant make a dedicated server [03:38] does anyone runs WoW on Wine, pm me plis i have some questions [03:38] zachwlewis: yes that's the one [03:38] Schmiez: get it open? [03:38] Good Night all [03:38] nikrud, i think i thought that if i did fsck / it would include /home, i was real tired XD [03:38] it wont pull one up [03:38] kindofabuzz: ok i did it [03:38] I hit Okay. [03:38] Nothing really changed. [03:38] zachwlewis: ok, is it still selected under "driver" now? [03:38] Schmiez: if you can't figure it out post in the forums :) [03:38] CRINGO lol, being tired is not good for the old attention thingy [03:38] !doesntwork | mutantman [03:38] mutantman: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [03:38] look for defoptions=vga [03:38] it wont pull up a ded server [03:38] sudo upt-get install .....to install about for uninstall? [03:38] or something like that [03:39] !doesntwork [03:39] zachwlewis: let me rephrase, does "driver" in the screens & graphics admin pane say "nvidia" now? [03:39] any one that knows the command for seeing what port a prog uses? [03:39] kjp2: still around? [03:39] sjovan: google it [03:39] nikrud, but in fstab, the last numbers, they're for the order fsck does right? So there shouldn't be two different filesystems with 1 or 2 correct? [03:39] daved: yes. [03:39] mutantman: Have you tried their IRC channel? They're actually be able to help you. [03:39] mackid: After I clicked okay and closed the thing out, I reopened it and it went back to vesa. [03:39] what is the command for installing a program? [03:39] mutantman, did you try to set up your server.cfg correctly? [03:39] kjp2: try changing /bin/sh to /bin/bash at the top [03:39] yes [03:39] i have a good server.cfg [03:40] sjovan, sounds like a usefull app for sure if you find one [03:40] it wont start the server is the prob [03:40] mackid: Before I close it, it says it right now. [03:40] mackid: yes, that was the plan if no one gave me the awnser [03:40] CRINGO it doesn't matter, I have two with 1 and two with 2 [03:40] nikrud, i think that's what was throwing it off [03:40] mutantman, what's the error. [03:40] wait [03:40] how do i look for it [03:40] ah [03:40] !torrent [03:40] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [03:40] mackid: I just clicked "test" and it closed the window down. :( [03:40] zachwlewis: try system menu > administration > restricted drivers manager [03:40] move the cursor up and down? [03:40] When i go to start server, and dedicate to internet, it wont bring up the ded server windows [03:40] nikrud, is there a 3,4,5, or does that number only go to 2? [03:40] arrow keys? [03:40] When i go to start server, and dedicate to internet, it wont bring up the ded server window* [03:40] daved: woah. that worked. why the hell did that work ? [03:40] that's what i was wondering [03:40] wait just close that [03:40] zachwlewis: is there anything listed in the restricted drivers manager? [03:40] i got a screen with a grey bar up top, absolutely nothing in the middle, then a list of commands at the bottom [03:41] ctrlx [03:41] kjp2: you on hardy beta? [03:41] what's the port or program in question? [03:41] just close it [03:41] mutantman, server windows? there is no server windows... [03:41] mackid: The only one is Atheros HAL. It is enabled and in use. [03:41] sjovan, [03:41] CRINGO 2 as far as I've ever seen. I will say that I'm fuzzy on those, just know enough to know that they don't affect mounting ;) [03:41] daved: no 7.10 [03:41] oh [03:41] closed [03:41] i mean like [03:41] the console [03:41] kjp2: looks like at some point ubuntu started symlinking /bin/sh to /bin/dash instead of /bin/bash [03:41] the server running u know? [03:41] so bash-only crap doesnt work [03:41] took me forever to figure out what that == wouldnt work [03:42] zachwlewis: weird, nvidia should be listed.. i don't really know at this point, try googling for ubuntu nvidia driver [03:42] actually i'm just gonna give you the link i'm reading, i gotta piss, look at the responses towrds the bottom [03:42] zachwlewis: or maybe someone else can help you [03:42] ok [03:42] mutantman, what you have when you execute ioUrTded.i386? [03:42] RabidWeezle: found it :D netstat -anp|grep [03:42] daved: ah. great. [03:42] Schmiez: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/63558 [03:42] nikrud, okay, well... I'm not sure what's going on then, maybe I'll run fsck on /home and I'll do that other hdd too, not sure why it won't mount it with fstab [03:42] it wont execute [03:42] mackid: Okay. Thanks for all your help. :) [03:42] nice [03:42] that was one lucky google :D [03:42] zachwlewis: no problem :) [03:42] mutantman, "sudo chmod +x ioUrTded.i386" [03:42] * RabidWeezle copies that to a notepad for later use [03:42] kk one sec [03:42] CRINGO it's happening to someone else tonight, can't figure it eather [03:42] mutantman: Go to the Urban Terror IRC channel, and ask there. We have no idea how that server works, they'll have a much better chance of helping you. [03:43] sjovan: excellent [03:43] nikrud, what's their name? [03:43] anyone know how to get games to run at decent speeds in a virtualbox os? [03:43] CRINGO steven1 [03:43] yowshi, pac man [03:43] mutantman, Flannel is right, with specific software problems, it's always best to ask the people who make the software [03:43] okay [03:43] ok [03:43] kjp2: that script also has numerous bugs in it btw :P [03:43] cabrioleur: pac man? [03:44] kjp2: but i fixed them all and it still wouldnt run, was driving me mad [03:44] mutantman, I wouldn't goto a windows help channel to ask about problems with EZ Cd creator [03:44] daved: I didn't write it. [03:44] mutantman, it's everywhere on the internet now. Abandonware they say. [03:44] ? === [1]rafaelito is now known as rafaelito [03:44] mutantman, did you try to run it now? [03:44] it said [03:44] chmod: cannot access `iourtded.i386': No such file or directory [03:44] kjp: *nod* just saying :) [03:45] nikrud, maybe with my other hdd, the slave master jumpers aren't set right? I could pull it out and double check but blah if I don't need to. [03:45] mutantman, use capital letters. [03:45] CRINGO not sure [03:45] mutantman: case sensitive [03:45] mutantman, ioUrTded.i386 [03:45] Hello, on a chroot, what is the way to use locales too, wich files do I need? /usr/share/locales only does not work, any idea? thanks [03:45] mutantman, I want you to run this server because I really enjoy this game :-) [03:45] what is the program to uninstall a program? [03:45] thanks... [03:45] one sec [03:45] Where is the default runlevel stored in Ubuntu 7.10? [03:46] o ty =) [03:46] I mean the command [03:46] Nasra: sudo apt-get remove progname (if you installed with apt) === ubuntu is now known as lemcott [03:46] okay nikrud, Steven1, I'll be back once I figure out what's going on and let you know [03:46] zachwlewis, ubuntu dosent really use runlevels like other disrtos do. [03:46] zachwlewis: /etc/event.d/ [something] [03:46] I need help uninstalling ubuntu [03:46] !upstart | zachwlewis [03:46] but this i don't get ---> http://pastebin.com/d68cd9040 <--- the tut talked about port 14534, but what with all the other ports? don't i need to open them on the router? it's for the same prog... [03:46] zachwlewis: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [03:46] hmm [03:46] still wont work [03:47] o wait [03:47] This driver wants me to close X and set the runlevel to VGA. [03:47] prince_jammys.....wannna uninstall the exaile music player.... [03:47] mutantman: Ask the Urban Terror people. We have no idea what its looking for, and as such, why it's failing [03:47] zachwlewis, so basicially it saying 'close X' :) [03:47] Nasra: sudo apt-get remove exaile (most likely) [03:47] Okay. How do I do that? :P [03:47] I used gpartitioner to make my second HDD a FAT32, i was hoping that i could just go into vista and format it [03:47] thanks... [03:47] Flannel, I do have an idea. I've done this before multiple times. [03:47] but now GRUB is giving me error 17 [03:47] zachwlewis, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop - WE do not advise using the nvidia or ati video driver installers... good luck. [03:48] and I cant even get in to fix it! [03:48] So, what nVidia driver should I use to run my 8800GT? [03:48] Is there a special channel to deal with hardy bugs or is it just here? [03:48] lemcott, go to your windows boot cd, and go to command prompt. (fix something option) [03:48] sean_: #ubuntu+1 [03:48] zachwlewis, i use the ones that restricted-manager installed here. [03:48] lemcott: what is on the other partition and are you going to reinstall ubuntu? [03:48] ok i did that command [03:48] Flannel, I just read that. X_X [03:48] thank you [03:48] it didnt say anything , but no errors [03:48] zachwlewis, had no problems with them. But others have i hear. [03:48] lemcott, then type fixmbr or mbrfix. It will correct the problem for you. [03:48] Yeah. Is there a way to just uninstall all my graphics drivers and let ubuntu find new ones? [03:48] cabrioleur, i dont have a windows vista boot cd [03:49] i have a question related to gdb. i am trying to create a breakpoint to a C++ file inside my project but it says : "No source file named pspp.cc" . Any idea about what the problem could be ? [03:49] mutantman: means it was successful [03:49] hey guys im a bit confused, i need to use airdriver is used to install the monitor drivers for my wifi card right? will this effect any of my current drivers [03:49] bazhang, my first hdd is vista, second is ubuntu, and im trying to make it back into vista [03:49] ok what do i do now? [03:49] lemcott: do you plan on reinstalling ubuntu? [03:49] Schmiez: nano your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for your vid driver setion, change it to vesa, try that [03:49] what do i do now? [03:49] no, i need the space as of now, so i need it to be vista recognized/usable [03:50] lemcott, that's a problem. [03:50] D: [03:50] lemcott: sounds like a windows only question then [03:50] windows doesnt recognize it [03:50] i might have got an error, nothing happening [03:50] I like this chat room....you guys are ready to help.....I love it.... [03:50] bazhang, don't leave the customer when he is dissatisfied. He might come back whey you're nice.

[03:51] lemcott: If you have no Vista CD to properly add it back, you could try SBM (smart boot manager), or failing that, you just need to keep GRUB around, on a tiny GRUB partition [03:51] linuxbasics.org [03:51] is great [03:51] idk how to goto urban terror... [03:52] the only reason im on is im using the livecd to boot from, grub wont even let me touch anything [03:52] Hi I am having some issues with VNC, is there anyway for VNC to work with the current X desktop? [03:52] (the channel) [03:52] error17 [03:52] Is there a command to read the IDV3 tag out of an MP3?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [03:53] mutantman, what's the error now? [03:53] cabrioleur: pac man? what do you mean by that [03:53] mutantman: did you even read the link i gave you? tels you everything [03:53] i never got it to work [03:53] mutantman: It's on a different server, this may work (depending on your IRC client): /connect irc.enterthegame.com then /join #urbanterror [03:53] hello , i wanna install enlightment on ubuntu , how can i do that > [03:53] THE LINK DOESNT WORK OK? [03:53] ? [03:53] yowshi, it's an old game. You can find it everywhere in abandonware collections. [03:53] nikrud, forgot i wanted to throw this at you, http://pastebin.com/ddef976d <- look at sdb1, it's been mounting it as disk-2, I manually mounted it to /media/nota [03:53] nikrud, did I need to umount it first? [03:53] hey guys, how do i change servers with xchat? [03:53] im looking to get onto slashnet [03:53] intravenous: /server new.server [03:54] mutantman: it does work, http://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htm [03:54] intravenous, /server server.name.net [03:54] oops [03:54] thanks man [03:54] CRINGO ues [03:54] cabrioleur: heh what about starcraft? i would like to run that at decent speeds reliabvly online and without the problems wine has with bnet. an no i am not paying cedega for ripping off wine [03:54] nikrud, so you can have a device mounted to multiple places? does that screw anything up? [03:55] yowshi, starcraft (broodwars too) run smoothly with unmodified wine. [03:55] no ones there... [03:55] Hi, a question: I have two hard disks, one which is mounted to / and another which is mounted to /home. I get the feeling that, because /home is a directory of /, that my files are being duplicated. I say this because / is very nearly full, even though I don't really have anything in there at all, except for in /home. How do I check that I've mounted everything right and sort it out if it is wrong? [03:55] Okay, I managed to remove a lot of stuff. How do I add back the restricted drivers manager and let it find an appropriate driver for my 8800GT? [03:55] Mnabi1: There's an Enlightenment package in Ubuntu [03:55] now just installed azureus...how do I use it....what is the procedure? [03:55] CRINGO it's not common, no. I don't think I've ever seen it myself, except with --bind. I'm not really up on esoteric mount options [03:55] someone know what command do i have to use to connect on the wireless network? [03:55] Mnabi1: If you want a more recent version, Google is your friend [03:55] cabrioleur: no it doesnt. take a look at the bnet interface. i get windows that dont refrsh properly and stuff [03:55] okay nikrud, thanks [03:56] Estesark: check out baobab :-) [03:56] Nasra: Find a torrent file, and have the program open it. [03:56] still cant get my server to work!!!! [03:56] CRINGO I'm tired, my attention thingo is not functioning well :) [03:56] What's that, andi5 ? [03:56] +in the game itself anf does but outside of a game it doesnt [03:56] Nasra: It will then proceed to connect with other computers and download your files. [03:56] heh, np [03:56] mutantman: learn to google and read the damn link i gave you, it tells you everything about the server [03:56] Oh, the disk usage analyser... so what am I looking for exactly? [03:56] IT DOESNT HELP OMG [03:56] Estesark: Typing mount will show you if everything's mounted properly -- also try df [03:57] THE DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE DEAD [03:57] IT HELPs 0 [03:57] !caps [03:57] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [03:57] mutantman: how does it not help? it tells you step by step what to do [03:57] Okay, I managed to remove a lot of stuff. How do I add back the restricted drivers manager and let it find an appropriate driver for my 8800GT? [03:57] zachlewis: question...where do I put the file to download or where will it go and find it? [03:57] You should be able to use "Open with...". [03:57] Then, choose your program. [03:57] If not, it doesn't matter where you save it. [03:58] zachwlewis: Envy [03:58] Estesark: your data is not duplicated, that is for sure.. mount will tell you whether you have mounted /home correctly though [03:58] You can either double-click and choose a program, or open it. [03:58] kindofabuzz: Pardon? [03:58] mutantman you should direct your questions to the person who was helping you [03:58] is there a gnome cd/dvd burning program similar in functionality to k3b? [03:58] cabrioleur: no it doesnt. take a look at the bnet interface. i get windows that dont refrsh properly and stuff. in the game itself it does but outside of a game it doesnt. unless you have a solution [03:58] w30: that worked ! [03:58] /msg w30 that worked ! [03:58] cabrioleur, thank you thank you thank you! [03:58] zachwlewis: you asked about video drivers, use Envy, intalls everything for you, ati and nvidia [03:58] ill be back on after going into windows! [03:59] kindofabuzz: Where do I find that?

[04:00] Schmiez: any progress? [04:00] see I was aiming to install two linux systems on the smae harddrive, opensuse 10.3 and ubuntu 7.10 [04:00] Help please!! I just applied some updates, rebooted and now my system boots to a busybox cli! [04:00] mssever: I really can't believe that I've used 80% of my primary drive though, considering I download everything to /home [04:01] and boot them all using the vista bootloader.. [04:01] redheat: true but first thing you want to do is backup any data onto CD or DVD [04:01] i'm about to go try MEPIS, i'll be back [04:01] redheat: I'm not 100% sure but I think GRUB will overwrite the Vista bootloader [04:01] fab4fan, the whole harddisk has been formatted, and right now all I have on it are two fresh copies of windows vista and windows xp [04:01] Estesark: If you look at the disk usage analyzer (can't remember its name and I'm not on Ubuntu right now), it'll graphically show you what's eating your space [04:01] yowshi, wine did have issues with compiz. Did you try to turn it off? [04:02] Estesark: ouch ... either use baobab or "du -sm /*" to find out a bit more ... 115 GB is quite a lot :) [04:02] this is what I've been working on getting rid off, see there's this awesome program called Easy BCD, which you can get from this URL [04:02] redheat: they are fresh copies ? just installed ? [04:02] xanderp: Are you sure it's busybox? or do you just mean CLI? [04:02] cabrioleur: this was before i installed compiz [04:02] okay... i just banned my self from my own teamspeak server. how do i unban? [04:02] mssever: That shows that /etc and /home take up the most space, but in total, everything adds up to about 200 GB, not the 300GB+ that df/mount is showing [04:02] it says busybox. [04:02] http://neosmart.net/ [04:02] cabrioleur: it aklso had issues with alt+tabbing [04:03] yep fab4fan [04:03] Estesark: Hmm... have you drilled down into /etc to find the trouble? [04:03] hello [04:03] xanderp: Can you boot normally in recovery mode? [04:03] QUESTION. does anyone have trouble getting to the linksys setup website. 192.168.1.1 ????????? [04:03] mssever: fyi, that is baobab :) [04:03] hello all:) I have a question [04:04] andi5: thanks [04:04] donkey7186: that is your router not the website [04:04] Sum1: me too ;-) [04:04] donkey7186: no [04:04] Estesark: what about /tmp or /var? [04:04] i know but how do i get to it cause that is the default and it isnt working [04:04] donkey7186: are you connecting though it nowL [04:04] mssever: Wow, no, I hadn't... apparently I've got 106 GB of backups. That must be it. [04:04] now, this is how I partitioned my harddrive, first of all I have a 320 GB harddrive, where I have assigned 100 GB for windows vista, another 100 for windows xp and the rest is left as unallocated space, space I turned the remaining space into an extended partition with multiple logical drives, and I have kept 22 GB for ubuntu along with 22 GB for opensuse and 4 GB for swap [04:04] yes im connecting through it [04:04] donkey7186: what error are you getting [04:04] mssever: nope. I hit esc on the grub, turned off spash and quiet, and it shows mounting problems for root. I'm wondering if my uuid changed? [04:04] i have a multiboot system, and I want to upgrade to 704, if I do so from the software updates manager, will it mess up my multiboot or my partition? [04:05] donkey7186, try http;//192.168.1.1 [04:05] just when i type in 192.168.1.1 it bring up a page cannot be found [04:05] the prompt says initramfs [04:05] yowshi, I know. I'm sorry I cannot help you. VMWare is my only suggestion, as you might have it for free. [04:05] xanderp: were these just run-of-the-mill updates? [04:05] donkey7186: this is wired or wirelessly [04:05] donkey7186: can you ping 192.168.1.1? [04:05] now nearing the end of ubuntu's installation, there's that small advanced option which tells you where do you want to install the grub [04:05] donkey7186, sorry http://192.168.1.1 [04:05] wireless [04:05] how can i try to ping it [04:05] yup, mysql, mythtv, some libraries, that stuff... I didn't see anything system related... [04:05] donkey7186: you need an ethernet cable to set it up [04:05] This is confusing, being helped by two people at once (though I appreciate it). I'm pretty sure it's those backups that are taking up all the space, I must have mucked up my configuration. Anyway, thanks, andi5 and mssever. [04:05] by the way fab4fan, http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Ubuntu this is the wiki to how to install [04:05] cause the router is on my main computer which i am in front of [04:06] Estesark: np [04:06] ubuntu and yet let it load from within vista's boot loader [04:06] well im trying to set it up on my regular computer [04:06] donkey7186: ping 192.168.1.1 :) [04:06] fab4fan, are you still with me [04:06] are the pre-released updates in gutsy safe to use or are they beta? [04:06] donkey7138, from the terminal type ping 192.168.1.1 [04:06] where do i type that terminal? [04:06] redheat: yeah [04:06] ?? [04:06] redheat: I'm not familiar with the Vista bootloader [04:06] no, just look at it.. [04:06] is vista a new gnome theme? === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [04:06] 56(84) bytes [04:07] hello [04:07] ?? [04:07] there's nothing to it, since that program called easy bcd will do it for you... [04:07] xanderp: Well, your UUID isn't *supposed* to change... Have you tried recovery mode (If you answered that already, I apologize) === [r00723r0] is now known as r00723r0 [04:07] Sum1: I'm not sure, but you should always make backups of your data [04:07] can i take option e to edit grub line, then change the root= to say / instead of UUID=blahblahblah... [04:07] xanderp: what filesystem? [04:07] back up my entire win side? [04:07] mssever: i tried recovery, it barfs too [04:08] so the whole trick is just point your grub to root partition the one that has a mounting point of / [04:08] andi5: the default ubuntu fs... [04:08] xanderp: you have to specify your partitions grub-style [04:08] xanderp: which is? ... ext3? [04:08] now, it seems that ubuntu doesn't work under a logical drive... [04:08] so what should i do now [04:08] Sum1: why not? But I don't think it will hurt the windows partition [04:08] it need s a primary partition [04:08] Sum1, it should not, and 99.99999% will not make any mess with your windows partition, but again 0.00001%... [04:08] mssever: I didn't change anything, the defaults that ubuntu put in grub are what i was using. [04:08] redheat: it looks like it should work [04:08] xanderp: Or maybe not...I don't remember [04:08] donkey7186: to connect to your router you need an ethernet cable to it [04:09] is there a program to convert a video to MPEG4 format? (or something else that a psp supports [04:09] hey everyone, I just installed ubuntu, and now when i start it up, my monitor(not ubuntu) says 'Out of range'so i think there is a problem with the resolution, is there a fix for this? [04:09] donkey7186: try connecting to the router, it might be broken though to hard-resetting it might help [04:09] any ladies in here?? [04:09] xanderp: I was saying that in answer to your question about changing the root to / [04:09] that what to chat with a newbe to be friend [04:09] wenceslao: offtopic [04:09] that's what I thought, but it doesn't when I try to install ubuntu in one of the logical partitions I've created, but it works like magic when I put it in a primary partitions [04:09] connect to the router how? [04:09] redheat, it will work with lvm's as long as you install it during installation. [04:09] xanderp: /etc/fstab should tell you,... if it is ext3, i could suggest to use labels... set them with 'sudo e2label /dev/sxxn mylabel' and LABEL=mylabel in /etc/fstab [04:09] im already wireless [04:09] Any idea as to why when I run sudo apt-get upgrade I get the message "E: could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock-open (11 resource temporarily unavailable)? [04:10] andi5: i have to GET to /etc/fstab first... :) [04:10] redheat: since you can have several primary's that should not be a problem [04:10] LinuxMercedes: make sure Synaptic is closed [04:10] brandon: I always thought that out of range usually referred to refresh rate, try booting to a command line and editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:10] LinuxMercedes: synaptic is open or another apt-get is running [04:10] donkey7186: to setup your router you iniitially need an ethernet cable to get into the router config [04:10] legend2440: it is [04:10] Ok, so I tried this upgrade from S/M earlier, and I didnt know if this would mess up my partition so I used the force quit app to force quit the upgrade process. Now my S/M says that there are like 814 updates and when I run it it says that all updates cannot be installed and suggests that I run a distrobution update to get the updates that I can. I dont know what I have done [04:10] xanderp: Honestly, though, I'd be surprised if your UUID changed. Why do you think it did? === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [04:10] donkey7138, I'm sorry, did you say you're wireless? [04:10] LinuxMercedes, apt/aptitude/synaptic/etc is open somewhere [04:10] saminthemiddle: im in the command line right now, how do i edit it via command line? [04:11] Sum1, brake your system :-) [04:11] I thought i had that problem once before... when I saw that line in grub it reminded me of it. [04:11] pike_: I don't think it's open: ps only lists bash and ps [04:11] brandon, sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:11] Sum1, give more output on pastebin.. [04:11] brandon, oh, and you might want to apt-get install vim [04:11] bazhang ok on my regular computer which is what i am trying to setup linksys, it is already connected via ethernet cable. how come it doesnt work on that computer when i try to go to http://192.168.1.1 === ce_chinnese is now known as fiton [04:11] ok [04:11] brandon, the default vi is lousy [04:11] xanderp: how far along in the boot process do you get? [04:11] LinuxMercedes: a reboot might help [04:11] LinuxMercedes, you cannot have more than one apt or package manager running at the same time [04:11] legend2440: I'll try that [04:11] trying recovery mode again to see... [04:11] donkey7186: and what does the ping return in terminal? [04:12] brandon, press I to ender edit mode, escape to exit edit mode, and :w to save :q to quit [04:12] anyone like to chat with a newbe to be friend and teach about lenux [04:12] donkey7186, did you check if you don't have a mac filtering or other kind of tool? [04:12] LinuxMercedes, "ps" shows nothing usefull [04:12] Is it updating 610 (my current version) or is it updating me to 704. Sorry guys kinda new to both IRC and Ubuntu. What is pastebin? [04:12] wenceslao: wrong channel for that [04:12] 56(84) bytes that is my ping [04:12] fails when it tries to mount root, but the rest flys by so fast it could have had errors before that [04:12] no i didnt. i have windows running the router. [04:12] xanderp: well, append 'init=/bin/bash' to the kernel line and edit /etc/fstab with vi or your favorite command line editor :) [04:12] YAY [04:12] !pastebin [04:12] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:12] i got it to work!!! [04:12] Ashfire908: shouldnt it if you're only running command line? [04:13] hello [04:13] I'm trying to play songs [04:13] OIC === os2mac_ is now known as os2mac [04:13] sorry [04:13] palomer, hello [04:13] but banshee refuses [04:13] ill check into that [04:13] LinuxMercedes, ... [04:13] ^-^ [04:13] !enter | palomer [04:13] palomer: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:13] my ATI card works now [04:13] Sum1, pastebin is a website where you can paste stuff into [04:13] should I be able to see other PCs on my wireless LAN from Ubuntu ? [04:13] LinuxMercedes, "ps" with no options shows only the current process and ones related with the current terminal [04:13] andi5: will try [04:14] if they are running Windows XP [04:14] palomer, did you play any flash animations etc. before using banshee? [04:14] hey all, how do i fix supre slow intenret through browsers, not slow through other means, atm just slow through browsers [04:14] fab4fan, I can't [04:14] moDumass: did you configure a proxy? [04:14] any more suggestions for my problem [04:14] I think the firefox that is included with the LiveCD should include flashplayer. [04:14] palomer, if yes, or you tried other sources of sound (skype etc.), make sure you have alsa-oss package installed. [04:14] sam: it still is saying out of range, also when I try to install VIM it doesnt work [04:14] so, when I try to run mplayer it gives me: alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1242:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy \n alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave \n alsa-init: playback open error: Device or resource busy [04:14] moDumass: are you behind a router? [04:14] moDumass: did you uninstall TOR? [04:14] LinuxMercedes, "ps -C " shows all processes that are the command . [04:14] brandon, really [04:14] andi5 no not that i know of, i also unistalled TOR and TOR button [04:15] both banshee and mplayer aren't working [04:15] saminthe: if I go to places-networks I can see my LAN but I can't open it and see the other PCs [04:15] mssever i am behind a router [04:15] palomer, yup, that's it. "sudo apt-get install alsa-oss" [04:15] brandon, I'm not sure why apt-get install vim doesn't work [04:15] cabrioleur [04:15] I installed alsa-oss [04:15] still nothing === ubuntu is now known as lemcott [04:16] moDumass: what about w3m or lynx from the command line? are they slow as well? what does echo $http_proxy or echo $HTTP_PROXY show you? [04:16] moDumass: some routers have trouble with ipv6; but since you've apparently been messing with tor, I'm guessing my idea isn't your problem [04:16] I had sound 2 minutes ago! [04:16] palomer, restart your alsa server or restart your computer. Your problems should go away. [04:16] sam, when it says continue, i say 'Y', then for install packages without verificaton i say y, then it says... E: Unable to fetch some archives,... [04:16] was I supposed to direct that at the windows HDD or the one I'm trying to get linux off of? [04:16] is there any program for made dvds with you own menus ? [04:16] okay [04:16] echo $http proxy shows nothing [04:16] devede tarelerulz [04:17] tarelerulz: Tovid can do it [04:17] echo $HTTP_PROXY / proxy shows nothing, no return [04:17] brandon, first thing, it's saminthemiddle or it won't highlight :-/ and second, why is it asking to install w/o verification? [04:17] brandon, have you been messing with your repos? [04:17] uh weird [04:17] i have turned off ipv6 too [04:17] before i could use my scroll wheel on the desktop to move to the other workspace [04:17] now i cant do that === _max is now known as max [04:17] Alright, I have another question now. Having deleted those huge backup files, baobab shows that my total usage is 292.5GB, yet adding up all the folders only shows 43GB. In order to delete the backup files, I had to do it as root - but they didn't go to the recycle bin. df is showing the same figures as before. I'm not convinced those files really deleted, is there a way to check? [04:18] moDumass: are all browsers slow, or just some? [04:18] how do I restart OSS? [04:18] saminthemiddle: no, it looks to me like it cannot connect to the internet, so theres probably a problem with my network card. [04:18] LinuxMercedes, a nice(/nicer) interface to processes is gnome-system-monitor, which you can run from System -> Administration -> System Monitor [04:18] Estesark: how did you delete those files then? [04:18] im just checkin opera, but its slow in all others [04:18] is there a program to convert a video to MPEG4 format? (or something else that a psp supports) [04:18] brandon, but you're talking to me! [04:19] firefox and konqueror are slow, im jsut checkin opera i think it stayed fast for some reason [04:19] andi5: sudo nautilus, and then selected the folders and pressed delete [04:19] Ashfire908: that'd be great, but I'm running Ubuntu server via ssh, so gui is out of the question [04:19] saminthemiddle: im on my laptop, right next to my desktop, for some reason Ubuntu is working fine on here [04:19] Estesark: see if they are in /root/.Trash [04:19] Estesark, "sudo rm -Rfv /root/.Trash" [04:19] ashfire908, search for MC media converter SA edition [04:19] that works best [04:19] brandon, okay so can you ping google? [04:19] Estesark: but very! cautious when running rm with -f as root, please [04:19] moDumass: Hmmm, dunno what's up [04:19] -f is not necessary [04:19] saminthemiddle: no i cannot. [04:20] Ashfire908: but restarting works =] [04:20] ?? [04:20] thanks! [04:20] brandon, then your network is borked [04:20] no i didnt. i have windows running the router. [04:20] Estesark: you could replease -f by -i even :) [04:20] brandon, is this a fresh install? and if it is, did the live CD work? [04:20] replace, even [04:20] i should have known better than to apply damn updates. they alway bork up my machines [04:20] hey. is it possible to find a .deb file for Opera 8.54? [04:20] can anyone tell me why the scroll wheel on my mouse wont change between workstations anymore? [04:20] inminic, it's on the opera website. [04:20] andi5 (and others), thanks. It seems to be deleting properly now. Why did those not show up in the Deleted Items folder when I was running nautilus as root? [04:20] moDumass: have you rebooted? (I don't know that that will work, but I don't have any better ideas) [04:20] lemcott, look in the repos or the internet [04:21] cabrioleur, nope, they don't go lower than 9.10 [04:21] * xanderp booting livecd to see what my fstab looks like [04:21] i have rebooted [04:21] and its fast in opera [04:21] endra_d'backbone [04:21] Estesark: also, please use gksudo when running graphical applications as root [04:21] i have rebooted, internet still fast in opera, but slow in ff and konqueror [04:21] saminthemiddle: i used the text install, just because i like that for preference, yes, it is a fresh install, and I will try the live cd right now... [04:21] should I just go ahead and use the distrobution update and take the 814 updates? [04:21] andi5: I hadn't heard of that, but I'll research it now. [04:21] inminic, http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?opsys=Linux%20Sparc&lng=en&ver=8.54&platform=Linux%20Sparc&local=y [04:21] brandon, okay [04:22] lemcott, i'm looking for a ubuntu program. [04:22] Estesark: because you were looking at the Trash in YOUR desktop, not root's [04:22] oh right [04:22] vlc [04:22] cabrioleur, i tried it. gives 404 error [04:22] moDumass: well, I'm officially stumped [04:22] vlc can convert most files [04:22] but it does it x1 speed [04:22] meaning if you have a 2 hour and 45 minute movie [04:22] So even after sudo nautilus, the "Deleted Items" shortcut goes to user ollie's deleted items folder? [04:23] its gonna take exactly that long [04:23] Estesark: no, to root's trash [04:23] Estesark: Scratch that [04:23] Estesark: I misunderstood you [04:24] Estesark: i don't know :) i don't use nautilus. maybe using sudo vs gksudo has that effect [04:24] inminic, http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian/pool/non-free/o/opera8-binary-i386/ [04:24] prince_jammys: I'm not sure. Anyway, thanks. Also to mssever and others. [04:24] Estesark: that may have been why. [04:24] I don't know if there's a way to do it, but in the panels, is there a way to turn off the tooltips? [04:24] ok, i'm in on a livecd boot, and looking at my fstab. my root partition is on /dev/hdc1. can i just hard code out all that uuid crap and point it to /dev/hdc1? [04:24] Estesark: using nautilus as root puts stuff in root's trash, but the trash button on the panel only points to your user's trash [04:24] I tried using gconf-editor and going into apps/panel/global [04:24] but it didn't seem to turn it off [04:24] (oh, and it's ext3) [04:25] so what do y'all think of 8.04 beta? [04:25] xanderp: yes [04:25] do i do that in /etc/grub/grub.conf or something? [04:25] xanderp: unless you decide to phically change how your drives are connected, you'll be fint [04:25] Estesark, prince_jammys: maybe gksudo -l is needed to point to root's trash? i think that will change $HOME, but i am not sure [04:25] I just put a 8800GT in my computer. Downloaded and installed latest drivers from nVidia, but i am still getting like hte same video performance when i had the 6600GT in . [04:25] mssever: no, in fstab [04:25] xanderp: no, in fstab [04:26] cabrioleur, thank you [04:26] mssever: hehe... talking to your self is the first sign of impending mental collapse!!

I can't spell tonight :) [04:29] Ashfire908: there is a selection to convert to Divx/MPEG4 [04:30] I can teither === chase_ is now known as catullus [04:30] bastards... i had those entries in the fstab hard coded before... the updates must have replaced my fstab entries with UUID's!!! (they were still there, but commented out!) [04:30] I never realized ubuntu was so hard to spell :) [04:30] sounds like another silly sunday [04:30] legend2440, ok. [04:30] xanderp: which version of Ubuntu are you running? [04:30] cabrioleur: My processor isn't running all that hot, and I don't have any way to monitor my fan [04:30] hju [04:30] xanderp: I had that kind of trouble between dapper and edgy [04:30] I'm booted back up again.. everything is working. it's mythbuntu on 7.10 [04:30] o man, i read "my professor isn't all that hot..." [04:30] (64 bit) [04:31] oh well, at least i'm back up again. [04:32] xanderp: now you know to watch fstab closely, lest updates conspire against you [04:32] :) [04:32] I knew it was familiar for some reason... and that UUID stuck out in my mind. I wonder why it wrongly detects my uuids... [04:32] cabrioleur: Disregard that - it keeps spiking up to 100% usage on the system monitor, but I'm not running anything too resource-intensive... [04:32] winie [04:32] mssever: i would say, make /etc read-only completely :) [04:33] michael__, use "top" command to catch the bugger. [04:33] mssever: but otoh, those changes slip in with updates, and you need write access then... [04:33] andi5: xanderp: maybe chattr -i [04:33] this is the same machine that keeps great time with hwclock, but the rtc is fubar. (drifts by like 30 minutes/day) [04:33] righto [04:33] andi5: xanderp: on fstab alone [04:33] I just put a 8800GT in my computer. Downloaded and installed latest drivers from nVidia, but i am still getting like hte same video performance when i had the 6600GT in. Any one know what i can try to get better performace on games in wine? [04:34] dabbill: sure the processor or ram wasnt the bottleneck and not the vid card? [04:34] don't know about chattr -i [04:34] pike_, 4200+ dual core, and 2gig ram. [04:34] what would cause my 2nd core not being seen? [04:34] mssever: on the third hand, this will not work on xfs... but maybe there is another command for that [04:34] xanderp: it marks a file as immutable. read the chattr man page [04:34] all of a sudden that is [04:34] keoni, not seen where? [04:34] keoni: what kernel do you use? [04:35] andi5: Oh, xfs? [04:35] mssever: already there [04:35] i think i recently upgraded or something [04:35] mssever: or rather everything except ext[23] [04:35] i noticed my distributed.net stats dropped tremendously about a week ago [04:35] andi5: I guess I tend to assume ext3 [04:36] and i just checked all my boxes and i just noticed that top is showing dnetc only running on one core [04:36] dabbill: the 8800's have been problematic for some people because of how new they were.. you might grab the latest nvidia drivers see if they make a diff [04:36] chattr looks like just the thing.. i can't think of any reason to have updates screw with fstab... can anyone here? [04:36] keoni, top is made for 1 core. user htop if you want to see more. [04:36] cabrioleur: It looks like "trackerd" is the culprit - how can I disable it? [04:36] pike_, i have the latest nvidia drivers. 169.12 installed [04:36] mssever: i have switched quite a while ago, but i have no reason to regret that [04:36] michael__: killall trackerd [04:37] michael__, "killall trackerd" [04:37] andi5: switched to what? [04:37] mssever: xfs... well, just ignore me [04:37] michael__, and disable it in "sessions" wizard. [04:37] andi5: sorry, I got dropped from the channel momentarily [04:37] uname says 2.6.22-14-386, htop is saying the same thing [04:38] Hello everyone [04:38] thats is running on one core [04:38] andi5: how is xfs different from ext3 [04:38] I have a question [04:38] keoni: need the generic [04:38] keoni, check you logs, and check your bios setup. [04:38] mssever: i think we are quite off-topic already =) [04:38] !ask | Christoz [04:38] ive just installed a teamspeak server on linux and ive got it running properly. only problem is i cannot configure it because i dont know the IP or the Port of my server. anyone that knows how to find it? [04:38] Christoz: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:38] cabrioleur: thanks :) [04:38] keoni, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [04:38] am I the only one who lost sound capabilities in hardy a few days a go? [04:38] can someone help me setup a static IP in Ubuntu 7.10 (Server) but it's running in VMWare Server. I'm not sure how to send it an external static IP. [04:39] hello i was just wondering whether there was an app in ubuntu that can show all the connections my computer is having and show countrys of origin and other stats like that i had a program like that whilst i used windows it was a constant monitor and all you do is click a tray icon to bring up the window... [04:39] tmh__: #ubuntu+1 please [04:39] tmh__: please ask in #ubuntu+1 [04:39] thanks for the help all... off to bed... [04:39] bazhang hello ,is there any possibility,for my filesystem to be damaged [04:39] j #xenu [04:39] f0rmat: etherape? [04:39] mt xserver goes down and says something about internet protocall and bus connection [04:39] f0rmat, wireshark :-) ha ha!! [04:39] :) [04:39] would it have something to do with the gheco gekko the mozilla engine? [04:39] thankyou [04:39] Christoz: please specify; what is the issue you are having [04:40] moDumass: gecko, you mean... well, does not konqueror come with khtml as well? [04:40] bazhang for example when i'm trying to ./configure wormux it cannot find the a sdl lib [04:40] khtml? [04:40] bazhang: to compile stuff you need developer packages, those ending on -dev [04:40] Christoz, no [04:40] moDumass: Konqueror doesn't use Geckol; it uses KHTML [04:40] (12:38:35 AM) Karsyth: ive just installed a teamspeak server on linux and ive got it running properly. only problem is i cannot configure it because i dont know the IP or the Port of my server. anyone that knows how to find it? [04:40] bazhang which is weird cause i can see it with my own eyes but system cannot [04:40] Christoz: what is wormux and where did you install it from (random website, repos etc) [04:41] says model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ [04:41] Karsyth: Try ifconfig [04:41] bazhang at first from repos (debian package) but didn't work [04:41] Karsyth: and look in the config or docs for the port [04:41] keoni, it should say a line like this" i think i recently upgraded or something" [04:41] lol [04:42] people, I see new ubuntu 8.04 has a 2.6.24 kernel, Will be possible to boot the iso inside a paravirtualized domU virtual machine to install ubuntu ?! where is the .config file for de kernel on boot CD ? [04:42] ok, hmm, what does opera use that these other 2 dont? [04:42] keoni, sorry, cpu cores : 2 [04:42] Christoz: to compile stuff you need developer packages, those ending on -dev ... sorry bazhang [04:42] bazhang then 've downloades it as a tar soucre ball from the official website [04:42] Christoz: what is the precise error you are getting? are you compiling this from source and have you compiled from before? [04:42] or what would stop internet from blazing with the other two and not with opera [04:42] mssever & cabrioleur, Thankyou for your help :) [04:42] moDumass: please try out w3m or lynx, or remove me from your irc message recipient list :) [04:42] i think i did about a week ago but im trying to get some suggestions as what to look at to find the culprit [04:42] moDumass: its own renderer... Hard do say for sure since it's proprietary [04:42] f0rmat, no problemo amigo. [04:42] :0 [04:43] sorry man, you were jsut one of the 2 people who seemed to know what was going on [04:43] pike_, know of any thing else that i might be able to try? [04:43] bazhang you can see various info @ [04:43] http://pastebin.ca/search.php?q=Christosz and @ http://pastebin.ca/search.php?q=Christoz [04:43] TCMC2010: Hardy questions belong in #ubuntu+1 [04:43] keoni: the generic kernel supports smp [04:43] thanks! [04:44] TCMC2010: normally .configs are at /boot/config-*... i am not sure about the live cds though [04:44] yeah, that's I know! :-) [04:44] bazhang if you look at the config.log you can see that "rotozoom" is missing but i can tell you its in front of my own eyes [04:44] Christoz: is this your first time compiling? [04:44] I'm trying to setup a Linux server running in VMWare Server. And I want that linux server to have an external IP, (host machine is windows 2003 Server). Can anyone point me to where I can learn how to do this? [04:44] but the server install isn't live! [04:45] bazhang nope [04:45] maybe isolinux under .iso ?! [04:45] Christoz: you may also look at config.log and check out what went wrong exactly (even more precisely is to look at configure as well) [04:45] i just installed a fresh hardy beta amd64 from alternative, and metacity won't stop crashing [04:45] has anyone else had a similar problem? [04:45] anlek: it's in /etc/network/interfaces [04:45] looking at launchpad, i see there are lots of metacity crashes [04:45] koko775: #ubuntu+1 please [04:45] ah [04:45] thanks [04:45] i just installed successfully ubuntu 7.10 (stable) using alternative install version, but my computer only boots in xp! [04:45] andi5 obviously i've looked [04:45] anlek: I believe that man interfaces will give you docs [04:45] mssever, thanks I'll give that a try [04:46] do you know how to boot in ubuntu? [04:46] Christoz: oh, i did not see the config.log, i am sorry [04:46] andi5 it's ok [04:46] Hi. [04:47] Christoz: there is usually a readme file with those that tells you how to compile it; never seen wormux (no idea what it is), but that might be a good place to look--why not just install from repos if it is there [04:47] Could someone show me how to install a GDM theme? [04:47] Christoz: configure:9663: result: ERROR: SDL_gfx library version >= 2.0.13 required [04:47] I have a question: how do tell ACPI to kill ipw3945d and restart it given that ipw3945d isn't in /etc/init.d/ [04:47] Nutzebahn: drag it onto the GDM config window [04:47] andi5 this lib is already installed [04:47] I don't know where to find the GDM config window, how? [04:48] hey everyone i am tryin to tunnel my smb shares over ssh so i can access my music n movies on my laptop while im at a friends i have ubuntu 7.10 gutsy on both my laptop and my desktop and i can connect via ssh but if i go into network my samba shares dont show up how do i tunnel them through ssh? [04:48] andi5 i'm not "crazy" i'm telling you the truth [04:48] Nutzebahn: I think it's gdmsetup; I'm not on Ubuntu ATM [04:49] bazhang it;s not only wormux it;s openarena too and whatever game need the SDL lib [04:49] thanks! [04:49] Christoz: i do not know the configure script... if you want to you could paste that as well :-) [04:49] onemike9886: i don't know how to do it with SMB, only AFP, but for afp i do something like this: ssh -L54854:127.0.0.1:548 -C user@afpserver.com [04:49] Christoz: i would ask other stupid questions then :) [04:50] bazhang oh no hard feelings man i didn't want to insult you if i did sorry [04:50] that was fro andi5 sorry [04:50] heh [04:51] andi5 ok [04:51] onemike9886: then i login with afp to localhost:54854 i think [04:51] Christoz: i always have difficulties guessing the level of knowledge people have here... sometimes they did not try the most obvious things :) [04:51] hi, anyone know if the 64bit 8.04 has the wubi installer? TIA :D [04:51] onemike9886: so it's just a matter of changing port numbers in that command [04:51] mackid: im only slightly familiar with networking so is 127.0.0.1:548 the local ip for the desktop and the port for afp? [04:51] onemike9886: 548 is afp [04:52] Angela_Smith: #ubuntu+1 please [04:52] onemike9886: 54854 is arbitrary i think [04:52] onemike9886: yes, that's right, i just looked it up [04:53] howdy fellow ubuntu users!

[04:54] HardyOne: #ubuntu+1 ;-) [04:54] Jeffmeister: what is your specific issue? [04:54] Angela_Smith: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php#804 [04:54] andi5, thank you I am already there :P [04:54] onemike9886: smb is 445 i believe, so maybe ssh -L54854:127.0.0.1:445 -C user@smbserver.com, then login to smb://127.0.0.1:54854 [04:54] thanks legend2440 [04:54] wow, theres' a few people here [04:54] Angela_Smith: yw [04:54] onemike9886: you don't do anything on the actual smb server [04:54] !www [04:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about www - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:54] onemike9886: only on the client [04:55] to make a long story short, I have an x86 system, Q6600, 8800GT. I made partition in vista, I booted off ubuntu 7.10 live cd. [04:55] can anyone help me with getting mysql to work with php?

[04:55] chose regular install. started getting loading screen loaded up, then got beeps and black screen [04:55] LainIwakura try appname & , the & will put it in the background and release the commandline [04:55] there was some / command you have to run [04:56] i cant boot i just installed ubuntu and it only boots into windows xp... i find out in google that i have to add a line for C:\ubuntu.bin but this files doesn't exist [04:56] LainIwakura: press Control+Z to suspend and afterwards bg to run in the background... or rather start with "application params &" in the beginning [04:56] onemike9886: i have to leave, but if 445 doesn't work, try 139. good luck [04:56] mackid: ok and the user@smbserver.com would be user@myroutersipaddress right [04:56] Christoz: looking [04:56] Jeffmeister, try installing from the Alternate CD [04:56] please message me if you know about php and mysql! [04:56] onemike9886: the router that the server is behind, yeah, but you'll need to forward port 445 on the router to the PC that is the server if you are using NAT [04:57] !anyone | Rufus53__ [04:57] Rufus53__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:57] Anyone know of any good open-source CASs? [04:57] mackid: ok i'll see what i can do thanks alot [04:57] lol ubotu, someone did it right after you said that... [04:57] okay, I get this when trying to get a database working http://123.243.205.213/mysqlup.php [04:57] oh, that's a bot, i understand [04:57] mackid, ubotu is a bot. [04:57] thank you whoever recommened i check the kernel, no idea why it whoulda got switched from generic to 386 [04:57] yeah, i see. [04:57] i found that my phpinfo() is not working with php http://123.243.205.213/index.php [04:57] r00723r0: Maxima [04:57] guys please help im trying for over 8 hours to install ubuntu and now i cant boot [04:58] HardyOne: so.... I tried the alternate cd. as soon as it booted first error was ( PCI: Unable to allocate memory ...) then it started and it went thru the text install process. It started installign and i finally thought I was going to make it. At Software and Installing I got to xsorb something and then please wait at 6% and then got error. since im a noob to linux all together i finished the installation [04:58] mackid, also, my question is my only question. [04:58] how do i get xfwm4 to start by default, instead of metacity? [04:58] astro76, do you know how this compares to SAGE or Axiom? [04:58] r00723r0: yeah i realize that, i'm sorry, i'm a little tired [04:58] how to save that xchat option /set dcc_auto_send 1? [04:58] mackid, don't be sorry :) [04:58] r00723r0: I do not [04:58] andi5 i've looked also at this page http://www.wormux.org/wiki/howto/en/...ource_code.php and no progress has been making [04:58] astro76, have you tried any other CASs? [04:58] Rufus53__: Do you have php5-mysql installed? [04:58] alright, i'm out [04:59] Christoz: hm... i meant the configure script, not its output :) [04:59] hardyone: Then I I tried booting into ubuntu and i got a command line with and it stopped at my ISP mask and asked me to input something and then got password which I don't need since its DHCP. so im preety sure it didnt install any thing. [04:59] so im back to square one [04:59] Flannel: not sure, it's the default ubuntu install on myserver [04:59] I try ./configure for the musictracker-0.4.1 is not working for me error : C compiler ? any ideas? [04:59] the cd was checked for integrity the alternate, with no problem [04:59] i've tried editing the php.ini and such [04:59] Pidgin I try ./configure for the musictracker-0.4.1 is not working for me error : C compiler ? any ideas? [04:59] ExoticDancer23: sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:00] has anyone else had the problem/knows how to fix the problem of iwl3945 not being able to connect after resume from sleep? [05:00] Rufus53__: You don't need to edit php.ini. Follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [05:00] andi5 oops now i'm feeling stupid ...what do yo mean exactly [05:00] Has anyone with a Q6600, 8800GT have had problems installing Ubuntu with beeps/blackscreen?? If so your help would be greatly appreciated [05:00] Christoz: there should be a file named "configure" :-D [05:00] Jeffmeister, you can try the server install cd and when done you sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to get the GUI. more then that I have no idea [05:01] i dont think that will work [05:01] there has to be soemthing else === Ghoster is now known as xoRock [05:01] ExoticDancer23, install build-essential from Synaptic [05:01] Jeffmeister: have you tryed the alternate cd? [05:01] Jeffmeister, HardyOne, better to just use the alternate CD. Jeffmeister, does ctrl-alt-f1 get you to a termina? [05:01] yes [05:01] havnt tried that flannel [05:01] noob to linux [05:01] Jeffmeister: I have 2 8800gt's in SLI and i breifly got them working after the nvidia driver installed, but when you restart it goes to a black screen [05:02] and my laptop broke so I can't be on here and working ony desktop [05:02] sjovan i just installed ubuntu and i cant multi boot... how can i fix it? [05:02] im waiting for it to get back from service [05:02] it only boots into windowsxp [05:02] HardyOne is there a command to do synptic install like sudo install build? [05:02] Jeffmeister: Some graphics cards don't like the LiveCD, but work perfectly fine once installed. You'd get a black screen for the GUI, but the text stuff would work fine (as should the alternate CD) [05:02] jedi did you install grub? [05:02] ExoticDancer23, sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:02] i dont know [05:02] andi5 i can't paste it on pastebin...why? [05:02] jedi-alex: sorry, i don't know anything about multi booting [05:02] i just wanna boot into ubuntu [05:02] and i cant [05:03] Christoz: maybe it is too big :) [05:03] flannel the problem is that my install got stuck at 6% with the alternate cd and I wasn't able to install it [05:03] is there something i can do from windows? [05:03] Jeffmeister: That sounds like a bad burn, did the disc pass the CD check? [05:03] andi5 yes this is correct [05:03] is ubuntu using partman like debian during the installation? [05:03] flannel it did [05:03] Christoz: maybe you see something in it by yourself... just start with searching for "required ..." [05:03] HardyOne it say insert the disc 7.10 [05:03] andi5 ok hold on please [05:03] anyone know how to make an account purge itself on logout? [05:04] ExoticDancer23, you can insert the disc but you will want to check !repos [05:04] jedi get partition magic for xp, make a partition and install it on that [05:04] all you need is like 20gb [05:04] Jeffmeister: Still sounds like a bad burn, uh, you can try the minimal CD, which will download the packages form the internet (and as such, they can't cause problems with data during the install) [05:04] !minimal | Jeffmeister [05:04] Jeffmeister: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:04] !repos | ExoticDancer23 follow this link and enable universe and multiverse [05:04] ExoticDancer23 follow this link and enable universe and multiverse: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [05:04] bad burn even though it passed the test? [05:04] the ubuntu test [05:05] anyone know how to make an account purge itself on logout? [05:05] Jeffmeister: well, freezing during package reading just screams bad burn, even though the disk check says otherwise. Other than bad data, there's no real reason for it to stop consistantly at one package. [05:05] it was after teh os install [05:05] captaingeek: i have no clue, does sabayon offer such a feature? [05:05] im assuming it was isntalling gui [05:05] crap like that [05:05] hello [05:06] Jeffmeister: No, the install itself installs the GUI and such. What happened exactly? [05:06] Jeffmeister it took me about 9 to install it successfuly, and at the last part i show that i was installing a dual booting feature but after reboot it only boots into windowsxp [05:06] andi5 did you notice about the"rotozoom" in the config.log [05:06] Any one useing an 8800 video card? if so what drivers are you useing? I cant seem to get any type of performace out of my 8800GT. [05:06] captaingeek: you want to delete all the home directory and settings at logout? [05:06] !fixgrub | jedi-alex [05:06] jedi-alex: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:06] thanks hardy [05:06] HardyOne thanks a lot man :D [05:06] was preety much what i needed to tellh im hehe [05:07] andi5 look i'm sending you the part of the script for rotozoom this is @ http://pastebin.ca/954901 [05:07] i kind of have a problem i installed something from linksys i enabled the WEP password protection thing [05:07] Flannel: It unpacked and then it started with Installing and Software started installing and then got to xsorb and then said please wait... 6% and stayed there for a while... and then said came out with an error you can try to skip. and all i could do was continue [05:07] how do i remove it [05:08] log into your router [05:08] Jeffmeister: Oh, still during the install. Does it do that consistantly? [05:08] i tried it twice [05:08] and it did it same place [05:08] but i downloaded straight from ubuntu [05:08] and burned it with poweriso [05:08] tdk cd-r [05:09] checked cd with ubuntu and was valid [05:09] Jeffmeister: Do you have another computer to verify the CD with?

[05:10] Jeffmeister: Thats fine, the CD does the verification. We're just looking for different hardware to verify with.

[05:10] Christoz: hm... did you install to /usr/local before? that is the include directory mentioned when compiling the test [05:10] flannel before i do that let me try the gutsy gibbon minimal [05:11] Flannel: if i follow the instructions you gave me from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP, can I just install everything over the top of the existing setup? [05:11] Christoz: i would say either clean /usr/local completely or install sdl completely :) [05:11] Jeffmeister: that link should do it for you in the livecd installer [05:11] when i do setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550a port 0x06A8 irq 4 baud_base 34800 my device works but when i put /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550a port 0x06A8 irq 4 baud_base 34800 in /etc/init.d/setserial, i get an error and the device doesn't work [05:11] Rufus53__: you can skip them, or re-do them, sure. Skip the stuff you've already done, for instance. [05:11] thanks, I'm trying it now [05:11] Hello ubuntu-ers [05:12] hi RioMerc [05:12] andi5 well i tried to show system where to find it with this command : ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/SDL" [05:12] a man by the name of jocob loaded a sinister LKM upon my machine what do i do? [05:12] bazhang [05:12] Question: I have two monitors, a dual-head ATI card and fglrx. How do I go about setting up an extended desktop setup [05:12] andi5: Thanks, I started with 'application filename &'. Now is it common to do a Ctrl+c after that so I can back to typing? What exactly does Ctrl+c do? When the application is closed, it also prints that out in the terminal--can I prevent this? [05:12] andi5 that's abone /usr/local and worked [05:12] im gonna try that with the live cd see if it works ok [05:13] andi5 this worked [05:13] LKM? KiD_ChAoS [05:13] Is there a history log on-line that i can search the irc chat to see if a question i asked earlier got answered? I was afk a while .. [05:13] I've already tried BigDesktop, but phailure is the only thing that meets me. Every time. [05:13] RioMerc : lol,, i have a similar trouble [05:13] bazhang the thing is i get beeps [05:13] andi5 i've made make nad after make install [05:13] !dual-monitor [05:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about dual-monitor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:13] when the screen is off [05:13] i'm trying to run that script that'll grab the appropriate fglrx version depending on your card. the script is failing cause it's saying bad xorg.conf [05:13] !dual [05:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about dual - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:13] and thats why i dont think the problem is that [05:13] Damnit [05:13] !logs > mojo [05:13] !dual-head [05:13] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [05:13] andi5 but when i tried to lunch it the same error occurer again [05:13] HardyOne: Loadable Kerlnel Module [05:13] Jeffmeister: lets worry about one thing at a time okay? [05:13] RioMerc: what res are you running [05:14] At the moment [05:14] 1280x1024 [05:14] LainIwakura: ctrl-c sends an interrupt, causing many applications to cease... if you do not want them to print to the terminal, then start application &>/dev/null & [05:14] Flannel, thanks [05:14] this is on a hardy beta box. this is due to hardy's xorg using a minimal xorg.conf [05:14] But I've had it ad 800x600 a few times due to a fucked up xorg.conf [05:14] andi5: Alright, thanks. [05:14] I'm on ubuntu 7.10, by the way [05:14] HardyOne when i ./configure then i use make but then it say "bi targets specified and no makefile found. stop." [05:14] #ubuntu+1 please mcquaid__ [05:14] Thought I should probably mention that [05:14] Christoz: is there a --with-sdl=... flag to configure? [05:14] !logs > Riomerc [05:14] anyway, can anyone using fglrx give me their xorg.conf from gutsy [05:14] Doesn't work :) [05:15] bazhang, that's why i asked here [05:15] RioMerc: I must have reconfigured mine 20 times now. can't get it out of 800x600 [05:15] is gns3 available on ubuntu? [05:15] ExoticDancer23, sorry I cant help you. [05:15] who here chooses flux over gutsy [05:15] HardyOne http://code.google.com/p/musictracker/ [05:15] Mcquaid, I would, but it's unstable and configured for two monitors. When I say unstable, I mean it will explode your computer every startup [05:15] witht hat driver anyways [05:15] andi5 yes this :$ ./configure --with-sdl-gfx-prefix=/usr/local but didn't work [05:15] cause i actually need a gutsy fglrx xorg.conf, the minimal hardy one is trying up this script, probably cause it's missing a screen section or something [05:15] brb [05:15] TheVillin: I can't even remember how the hell I managed to get it to this resolution [05:15] HardyOne alright thank you very much [05:15] Do you have a dual setup? [05:15] Christoz: do you plan to use /usr or /usr/local now? ... i am ... confused [05:15] andi5 i think i must format my system and reinstalling [05:16] mcquaid__: you should pastebin your xorg.conf ih the other channel [05:16] format? .. o no [05:16] andi5 i've tried both [05:16] hi [05:16] Christoz: simply remove all contents of /usr/local and retry [05:16] is there any GOOD ftp client, with folders monitoring, folders lock while navigating, etc? [05:16] andi5 ok whatever bigman says [05:16] i've already tested gftp, filezilla and fireftp, but they're too basic :( [05:16] bazhang, you don't get it. i don't want help from hardy users, i wanted a 'gutsy' xorg.conf that's shall we say more complete but doesn't matter i'll find it [05:17] RioMerc: did you use the aticonfig tool??? [05:17] Once, but it wasn't too successful [05:17] pulpfiction: folders monitoring? does that mean that the clients keeps polling for directory changes? [05:17] In the end, I just used a default copy and did some really minor modifications [05:17] RioMerc, hmmm same here [05:17] mcquaid__: sorry I do get it; this is for gutsy and that channel is for hardy [05:17] andi5, yes [05:17] yep, that's why i don't want to be there [05:17] Thevillin: What if I send you my xorg.conf? [05:18] and you must not get it, but again it's ok [05:18] RioMerc: sure [05:18] RioMerc: plz [05:18] hmmm i am trying to unmount a drive but it is saying it is busy. how do i find out whats using it [05:18] pulpfiction: i guess asking for the _why_ is not wanted, right? :) [05:18] bazhang, put it this way, if one was asking someone else for a sample gutsy xorg.conf, would they go to ubuntu or ubuntu+1 [05:18] mcquaid__, what r u looking for in xorg.conf? [05:18] buy a dell TheViLliN [05:19] andi5, it's a feature, you may use it or may not.. but sometimes it's quite useful :) [05:19] Kid_ChAoS, Die.

[06:07] Zasch: there are also some good search tools you can install through the package manager like beagle [06:07] Places > Search for files [06:07] Zasch: what do you try to achieve? [06:08] andi5, tritium On my Ubuntu 7.10 computer there is the DEB program package 'bind9-host' installed. [06:08] bullgard4: as I told you there was [06:08] Hi everyone. Is there a way that I can start a program on another user's X server= Say user Joe is logged on an x server and I want to log in as user Joe on an ssh client and start a program on the running X server? [06:08] andi5: I need to scan a large number of documents, and there is a standardised naming pattern ([Year][Department ID][Section ID][Part ID]), and I need to be able to pull up specific documents quickly [06:09] linux n00b here, have a gui question. is there a way to set different background images/wallpapers for each workspace? [06:09] Does anyone know anything about DNS forwarding on a local network using bind9? [06:09] Saraphim: with or without their knowledge? [06:10] Rhihannisu: yes in xubuntu (xfce) and kde (kubuntu) fraid im not sure about gnome [06:10] Zasch: do those files change a lot? i suppose you could either index them, using beagle or trackerd, or use slocate (with anacron) [06:10] bazhang: Currently I can start the program AS their user, so I suppose they won't be able to know either way? [06:11] Saraphim: with their permission? what program are you trying to run and to what end? [06:11] k thanx Pike, tho I am using gnome for now. long-time windows guy trying to defect... [06:11] Rhihannisu: you might search ubuntuforums.org im sure it comes up often [06:11] andi5: The files should never change after they are put on the computer. Another thing that it needs to be able to do is pull up documents that partially match the filename (so, for instance, if I wanted everything from 2007 from Department 1, I could type in 200701 and get everything). One problem is that I've already put several documents on the computer, but they don't show up in search [06:12] bazhang: It's a general case. In this case I want to start transmission on their end, but as I said, it's a general case. What I want is for their program to turn up on their graphical interface even though I've started it from a remote SSH terminal. [06:12] Saraphim: you want to use their computer as a zombie botnet? is that the gist of it? [06:12] Zasch: you could also use file globbing, like 2008-*-*-whatever.txt and alike (google will help) [06:13] hey guys, my tab autocompletion isnt working with sudo - any idea why? [06:13] bazhang: No, not at all.

Synaptic says: "Internet Domain Name Server." Would I have a /var/named directory if I installed the 'bind9' package? [06:13] Saraphim: why not just use rtorrent then? no gui [06:13] tsukasa: you mean it does not auto-complete binaries in root's PATH but not in yours? [06:14] * omolina is away: Not here [06:14] bazhang: Because I want it to reappear on their desktop. :-) [06:14] bullgard4: I told you you'd only have the bind9-host package installed. And no, the bind9 package doesn't include /var/named. Why do you want that directory? [06:14] andi5, it will complete directories but not say apt-get or mkfs. [06:14] andi5: Hmm. I'm trying to use Tracker, and it is finding some (old) files but not others. Why would this be the case? [06:14] bazhang: A more general question then; Is there no way I can launch a program from ssh that will use the target machine's X server as display? [06:15] Zasch: i have no idea... i personally strongly dislike programs disturbing my usual work flow :) [06:15] tritium: In order to learn more about the meaning of Red Hat's 'Zone files'. [06:15] talk about offtopic ;] [06:16] Zasch: please re-ask generically, i.e. do not address me =) [06:16] bullgard4: truly offtopic in an ubuntu channel [06:16] Saraphim: 'w' to see whos logged in and their display. then export DISPLAY=0:0 then gedit & or whatever is that what you mean?

[06:16] Hmm [06:16] andi5, any idea whats wrong? [06:16] tsukasa: when i type sudo apt i have to hit tab twice before it works [06:16] Saraphim: any reason you cannot just ask them to start it? do they know you can ssh into their boxes? [06:17] legend2440, i can button mash tab it wont autocomplete [06:17] tsukasa: i am not sure i understand what kind of autocompletion you mean... could you please elaborate? [06:17] I don't suppose anyone has experience with a Dual Desktop setup? [06:17] RioMerc: i have exp poiting to this url :-) http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead [06:17] tritium: Please tell me please why Ubuntu is not concerned with 'Zone files' and 'PTR' and 'Resource records'. [06:18] bullgard4: please read /topic [06:18] tsukasa: does it work if you type apt without sudo? [06:18] andi5, if im doing sudo cd /et it will complete to etc, but if i do sudo apt-get install firefo nothing happens. Same with commands, if im trying to autocomplete to 'compiz' and its preceded by sudo, sudo comp completes nothing [06:18] legend2440, yes ti does [06:18] bullgard4: please install bind9 first [06:18] bullgard4: you asked about "Red Hat's 'Zone Files'," which is why it was offtopic [06:18] As another question: Is there any way to encrypt things in Ubuntu? [06:18] Zasch: sure [06:18] Zasch: sure, with gpg, for one [06:19] tsukasa: because the auto-completion code detects sudo as executable and not apt-get [06:19] Zasch: a few [06:19] !truecrypt [06:19] Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume [06:19] Zasch: thats whole disk encryption though [06:19] andi5, how do i fix it though [06:19] tsukasa: you could work in a root shell with sudo -i [06:20] All I'd like to do is encrypt things like data on customers, that sort of thing [06:20] andi5, yeah but in gutsy this worked. im running the heron beta right now [06:20] #ubuntu+1 please tsukasa [06:21] tsukasa: i suppose bash-completion is still installed?

[06:24] tsukasa: this is not the channel for it you have been told several times politely [06:24] legend2440, yeah, i have the feeling this is just a switch or a whitelist somewhere though [06:25] bazhang, i can tell you something several times too doesnt make me any more of an authority on the subject [06:25] bazhang, i heard you the first time [06:25] tsukasa take it to the other channel [06:25] tsukasa: it's time for you to take it to #ubuntu+1 [06:26] hello === msuiter__ is now known as demonspork === [1]dahlia is now known as dahlia === adante_ is now known as adante [06:29] !netsplit [06:29] nice [06:29] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

Will reading files on the NTFS partition mess up with my Windows partition? [06:33] LainIwakura: no reading will have no effect [06:33] travisat: Thanks. [06:34] LainIwakura: in almost all cases writing should have no effect either, but since ntfs is proprietary and the methods are reverse engineered there is a small chance on writing you can mess it up [06:34] LainIwakura: writing is considered stable now as well for some time [06:34] LainIwakura: worst case.. you lose windows :) [06:36] How/where does GDM store a user's preferred session? === u^A is now known as u^A_ [06:37] markrian: gksu gdmsetup ya mean?

[07:32] crashhandler: have you checked in utiltites for taht? [07:33] smehmood: you want to update and it asks for the cd?

[07:38] Dr_willis: i tried using the boot cd but it just bumped me back to the live cd mode, is there a key stroke or something to get into rescue mode? [07:38] bazhang: yea i tried that as well, still doesnt compute.. === wayne is now known as Wayne^R2 [07:38] balle: well those are not very informative error messages--could you be more precise please? could be a sound and/or graphics issue as well [07:39] Dr_willis: i'm sorry that was probably a stupid question, do i just use the live cd to run a terminal? [07:40] eric84, thats one way.. but normally theres a rescue/recovery entry in the grub menus when you boot [07:40] Bazhang: well, if i try to play an mp3, even in root, it will play along just fine, but no sound will ever appear to be heard [07:40] eric84, what is your video card? [07:40] Adpad: are you on that computer now? [07:41] yes [07:41] Dr_willis: it's a winfast geforce 2 [07:41] I am :) [07:41] balle: are you sure your sound works? [07:41] Adpad: could you pastebin your xorg.conf? [07:41] kindofabuzz: well, no actually how can i check that? [07:41] did you here anything when you log on? [07:42] bazhang: sure, but it's changed so many times, yet I always get a blackscreen, so I always have to restore to default [07:42] you should hear a startup sound [07:42] gotta start simple first: are your speakers on and plugged in? [07:43] kinofabuzz: i hear nothing of the kind, though i have heard some sounds, when using internet messenger... [07:43] kingofabuzz: i'll check that [07:43] oh ok [07:43] hehe i like that, kingofabuzz [07:43] bazhang: is it alright if I query you? it might make things a little easier to follow ;) [07:44] kindofabuzz: heh, sry bout that [07:44] can anyone point me to a howto/faq (or tell me this is impossible) for mounting a LVM volume/partition in a USB enclosure? I have a HDD pre-partitioned with LVM which I then plonked in a UCB enclosure. How do I access the contents? [07:44] s/UCB/USB/ [07:44] Dr_willis: i don't see anything about rescue/recovery when i boot... there's no grub menu displayed [07:45] eric84, try hiting the escape key? I hate how ubuntu likes to hied the default grub stuff [07:45] Normally theres 2 entries for each kernel. [07:45] k thx [07:46] Adpad: better to do it in channel and share the knowledge ;] if you install pastebinit and then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit it will give you a url to post here [07:46] Dr_Link: gotta be dumbed down for the masses, eh? ;-) [07:46] oops... [07:46] Dr_willis: gotta be dumbed down for the masses, eh? ;-) [07:46] sheesh [07:46] i certainly know about as little as possible =D [07:46] emja: support question? [07:46] bazhang: okay, cool, no problem - but please remember that it's the default and only working config - when I install anything it dies! [07:46] kindofabuzz: no sound on anything sadly... [07:46] bazhang: sorry? [07:47] emja: name calling not really welcome here thanks [07:47] all the recovery mode does is append the 'single' option to the end of hte kernel optiosn it seems [07:47] bazhang: name calling? [07:47] (recovery) single [07:47] I wish they had a 'real' recovery mode. that ran some wizard to fix select issues [07:47] Dr_willis: i got into the recovery mode.. what should i look for next? [07:48] emja: we were all new users once; you know what I am talking about [07:48] eric84, ive totally frogenten your original problem... [07:48] balle: have you checked System>preferences>sound to check if anything plays? [07:48] hehe, sorry.. i was running synaptic after a fresh new install, it locked up, i rebooted, now when i login it just locks up [07:48] Im just about done with ubuntu. For the last 10 hours I have been trying to install. I got a Q6600, 8800GT, 3GB DDR2, x86 (32bit) system. Live CD gives me beeping/black screen on regular/lowgraphics, alternate cd will not install correctly, even the minimal install doesn't work... anyone wanna try to help? [07:49] bazhang: ahh... I can see the honest misunderstanding. No, you're way off mark, but I can see how that happened. [07:49] emja okay then no worries [07:49] bazhang: your concern is appreciated, however [07:49] and the fact that i dont have my laptop is ticking me off even more [07:49] Jeffmeister: best to take a break; Rome was not built in a day [07:49] ya [07:49] i think [07:50] im gonna give it a shot tomarrow [07:50] Jeffmeister: we will be here ;] [07:50] some new machines just have odd-bios oddities. :( [07:50] heh [07:50] hey all, so i have a NAS device with 2 hdds in it. 1 200giger, and 1 500giger, i can see the 200giger, but i cant remember how to mount the 500giger [07:50] any ideas [07:50] try some other live cd's to see if any other disrtos work. [07:50] when will ubuntu 8.04 be released? [07:50] i heard about some hdci setting in the bios that might help [07:50] im not asking google the right questions [07:50] msx98: late next month, I think [07:50] msx98: late april #ubuntu+1 for more thanks [07:51] Dr_willis: did you see my reply? [07:51] bazhang: sorry for the delay, just waiting for processes to free up (i'm busy updating ;) [07:51] Jeffmeister: I think mostly you have a video card that's not well supported in ubuntu yet. If there's a LUG in your area, it might be best to find someone there that can help you get stuff running. [07:51] Adpad: no hurry ;] [07:51] alot of people with 8800GT have installed with no problem [07:51] i have something wierd going on with my mount command mount -a tells me that /dev/hda1 doesnt exist i cd to the directory and it does indeed not exist nor does fdisk -l find an hda1 but for some reason mount -a seems to think there is one. how would i diagnose what the cause of this is [07:52] Jeffmeister: true; and yours can be fixed as well--best to get some shuteye first ;] [07:52] so, anyone know if it is possible to mount a LVM partn in a USB enclosure? [07:52] Jeffmeister: Hmmm, yeah. Problems arise when you try ti install the nvidia drivers. Who knows.. [07:52] eric84, i woudl start with a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [07:52] how do I get a drive to mount if it isn't responding after an unclean shutdown?? [07:53] eric84, it could be it crashed befor it properly installed the video card drivers [07:53] Jeffmeister: you still here [07:53] jeff did you try changing spalsh to nosplash at the boot options? [07:53] Jeffmeister: ran into that card a couple of times tho.. a bit of a hassle but once it's going it's a pretty good card [07:53] Adpad, you mean a ntfs filesystem? or ext2/3? [07:53] Dr_willis: sorry, ntfs [07:53] Dr_willis: k, thanks for your help [07:54] Jeffmeister: I have almost the same system as you, Q6600, 6800GT, 4GB ram, but am running 7.10 64bit [07:54] Jeffmeister: I want to get that card; so will make sure it works for you ;] [07:54] Adpad, try to mount it manually. You will most likely see a message about a 'force option' OR you can reboot to windows and let windows check the disks, and proplery shut down. [07:54] Jeffmeister: change quite splash to nosplash at boot options [07:54] cool [07:55] 8500GT here, no problems.. the 8800gt isn't supported in nvidia-glx-new iirc.. [07:55] The reason is: I've _really_ been battling to get virtualbox working with an EXISTING windows installation [07:55] Jeffmeister: err i meant 8600GT [07:55] it goes crazy, very slow, and mouse clicks uncontrollably [07:55] Adpad is this drive a Seagate Freeagent drive? [07:55] <[[thufir]]> what's the correct way to set $JAVA_HOME? .bashrc? [07:55] ya im here [07:55] Jeffmeister: are you running SLI? [07:55] no [07:55] just single card [07:56] brianlight: not a Seagate Freeagent I don't think [07:56] try the nosplash option [07:56] moo: os: Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium - (6.0.6000) up: 17hrs 57mins 23secs cpu: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 at 2000MHz (18% Load) gfx: ATI Technologies Inc.

[07:56] if you haven't [07:56] i cant boot [07:56] i cant even install it lol [07:56] does anyone know how to get an existing windows installation working nicely in Virtualbox? :/ [07:56] try what i said [07:56] [sorry, I know I have accumulated lots of questions] ;) [07:56] Adpad, good luck with that :) [07:56] Jeffmeister: what happens when you try the live cd? [07:56] when i changed to nosplash [07:56] it just got stuck [07:56] Dr_willis: lol, thanx ;) [07:57] blank screen? [07:57] when i use the live cd i choose normal or safe graphics [07:57] let him sleep! ;] [07:57] and I start loading [07:57] Adpad, i keep my windows installs in a nice safe virtual hard drive file.. [07:57] but it looks choppy [07:57] Jeffmeister: if it's getting stuck, I used safe graphics and it started working [07:57] and then it starts beeping [07:57] Apad I have not used an existing windows installation in Virtualbox but I have installed clean from a CD [07:57] and it goes black screen [07:57] Adpad, if you boot the actual install - it might get confused about being put in a totally new machine. and then get confused again whenya boot it inside virtualbox.. [07:57] safe graphics didnt work either [07:58] alternate cd didnt work either [07:58] neither did minimal cd that downloads for you [07:58] Dr_willis: good idea, but I'm just concerned to move it all across! [07:58] and you choose installs [07:58] Jeffmeister: my problem was just the screen went blank during boot but would come back once at the login screen [07:58] what is all that i need just ubuntu desktop or what? [07:58] Dr_willis: i've managed to get it booted and everything, just with problems [07:58] or do i need like MAIL servers [07:58] and all that crap [07:58] how do i find out, from command line, what files a package installed? [07:58] Jeffmeister - what graphics card are you using? been reading about this the last 3 days [07:58] Jeffmeister: i just skimmed through this forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580020 alot of different solutions [07:58] 8800GT [07:59] there is a lot about these things on teh forums as kindofabuzz suggested [07:59] im gonna [07:59] go back at it [07:59] rofl [07:59] there are some special boot commands too [07:59] try the nosplash first [07:59] like i said [07:59] nosplash [07:59] causes me to do nothing [08:00] oh, ok [08:00] it stays with a cursor at the top [08:00] just blinking [08:00] Jeffmeister: i would try loading the cd again and watch your cd or hd for activity, and try just taking splash off the end [08:00] Dr_willis: i've managed to get it booted and everything, just with problems like: many random mouse clicks, insane slowness [08:00] well a blinking cursor is better than a black screen ! =) [08:00] no i mean [08:00] it didnt even load the loading [08:00] That's quite optimistic. [08:00] Jeffmeister: have you checked the other screens: ALT + F1 - 8 [08:00] brb [08:00] i think you can hit ctrl-alt-f1 and actually see what's going on [08:01] Apad sounds like your not giving your virtual machine any memory [08:01] gonna do some coding [08:01] this is the optimism channel Rammy [08:01] ;) [08:01] try to get this bitch installed [08:01] brianlight: - tried giving it almost up to 2 GB :( [08:01] Is this a Vista windows install? [08:01] XP :/ [08:02] Your best bet is a clean install from CD [08:02] yea.. A clean install has worked nicely [08:02] can you do a clean install on another HDD [08:02] Adpad, i would guess hardware driver confliuct and other issues... [08:02] hello [08:02] I have a problem with pidgin [08:02] always had bad luck with vbox; vmware-server did it fine though [08:02] I can not recieve files [08:03] bazhang: thanks for your patience: finally, Dr_willis: good idea, but I'm just battling to [08:03] oops [08:03] http://paste.stgraber.org/1916 [08:03] Adpad I use virtual box mainly for windows Audio editing apps [08:03] better :) [08:03] I can send but I can not recieve [08:03] did jeffmeister leave? [08:03] Adpad: thanks checking now [08:03] thanks [08:03] bazhang: does VMWARE-SERVER have a seamless mode? [08:03] did anyone suggest to him to make sure the actaull cd doesn't have defects? [08:03] dont think so [08:03] kindofabuzz: he tried the minimal install as well [08:04] and yes he left [08:04] hello [08:04] I'm sure it's an NVIDIA issue again [08:04] I've been battling with the same thing over the last few days [08:04] i think i had the same problems he did [08:04] Adpad: vertrefresh seems insanely high [08:04] yeah [08:04] can somebody help me? why can I not recieve files through yahoo with pidginn [08:04] Hello, someone can help with my 5.1 audio. I can't get to work right. Now only is working like 2.1. I'm a newbie in linux. Thanks. [08:04] I can send but I can not recieve files [08:04] bazhang: Yep - it's the default configuration that I've gone back to in order to get _any_ kde working... if I do nvidia installs, it's corrected... [08:04] but doesn't work :/ [08:05] that's why it's the "vesa" driver [08:05] I"m having problems with networkmanager [08:05] Adpad have you used ENVY [08:05] Adpad: what about doing the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from the nvidia install? [08:05] should I try do the install or the xorg-config and get back to you with an updated pastebin ? [08:05] my docs say that I should be able to right click it and get a VPN configuration option [08:05] brianlight: I tried Envy, yes :/ [08:06] but it only shows "Enable Neworking" and "about" [08:06] Adpad do you have your kernel header files installed? [08:06] ubuntu firefox extremely slow [08:06] brianlight: how do I check that? [08:06] bazhang: so basically uninstall Envy, nvidia-xconfig, then do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [08:06] cookie: if you google it, looks like a known problem [08:06] moDumass: what about removing and reinstalling it? tried that yet? [08:07] bazhang indeed i have [08:07] cookie: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=Z2M&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=pidgin+can+send+but+not+receive+files+yahoo&spell=1 [08:07] removed 2.0.1.2 and installed 3.0 [08:07] s [08:08] Adpad: uninstall the drivers and the envy and then try the dpkg command and choose a really low res [08:08] cool, brb ;D [08:08] ooops that might not work, just google "pidgin can send but not recieve files yahoo [08:09] moDumass: you installed firefox from the repos? [08:09] PCI: Failed to allocate mem error, what is that [08:10] i get that when im trying to install ubuntu [08:10] is it possible to change system language after installing? [08:11] Hi all === kindofabuzz is now known as kindofabuzz_ [08:12] bazhang: I'm using the 'nv' drivers, and I just get a blue screen of rubbish if I do an xinit -- :2 [08:12] (with new drivers) [08:12] erm [08:12] msx98 you could do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [08:12] new settings for xorg [08:12] I don't want to lose this support window [08:12] but that asks you to reconfigure everything [08:13] I'm not sure what package holds the system language right of the back [08:13] 1) how can i find out who is connected to my computer through ssh? 2) how can i disconnect them? [08:13] Hi all. Is it possible to link an existing window xp account to vmware inside ubuntu? or do i need to setup a window xp inside vmware. Does any1 know? [08:13] KalEl, try the 'who' command, and kill the pid of their shell. [08:14] anyone know what i can use to share mice and keyboards across different platforms? [08:14] Ibback, You mean an existing XP install on a 'real' hard drive and run it inside vmware? [08:14] ok thanks! [08:14] Dr_willis: Yes [08:15] KalEl: also look in /var/log/auth.log to see who's logging in [08:15] Ibback, i hear its doable.. and it can cause problems to the xp install. XP will basicially see that its been swaped to a new machine.. and reconfigure/reinstall drivers.. and it may trigger the activation.. THEN if you boot back to the HD.. it will do it all over again.. [08:16] artenius, ok great! thanks! [08:16] all_generic_ide might help adding that to boot parameters Jeffmeister [08:17] msx98 sure you change languages after installing; this is not vista ;] [08:17] bazhang: sorry, screen went crazy again, had to restart [08:17] This just isn't working for me :(( [08:18] Adpad: try the vesa again and ininstall the non-free drivers as well and envy [08:18] uninstall rather [08:18] ok, I've uninstalled Envy [08:19] what's the command for the non-free drivers? nvidia-xconfig ? [08:19] btw, the screen is working again under vesa driver now [08:19] Dr_willis: So, it is safer to just setup again inside vmware .right? BTW, i can fax from window xp itself but not in ubuntu, so can i still fax using xp virtual machine? I read from somewhere that xp virtual machines can only recorgnize devices that ubuntu only can [08:19] okay Adpad that is good, now go into the restricted drivers manager and choose the nvidia drivers [08:20] Ibback, best to reinstall inside vmware.. as for hardware. it depends on the hardware [08:20] bazhang: is there an equiv to the restricted drivers manager for KDE? [08:20] Ibback, there are fax tools for Ubuntu - but ive never used any [08:20] (I'm using KDE community edition) [08:20] adpad goto System----->Admin------->Hardware drivers and install the restricted divers ofr your Ubuntu installation [08:20] Adpad: well I am no longer on gutsy so things have changed; but yes there is [08:21] how to play mplayer movie with sub [08:21] <[[thufir]]> I'm getting: "Media change: please insert the disc labeled" when using apt-get to install a package. I don't have such a disc, is there some setting which can be changed? [08:21] todor right click on movie screen and choose subtitles does not work? [08:21] todor, when i use gmplayer, theres a menu item for 'show subtitles' [08:21] bazhang: I can't find the Hardware drivers :( would it be in the KDE control center? [08:21] thufir just go to software sources and disable cd as a source [08:22] [[thufir]]: you need to remove the CD repo from your repo list [08:22] Dr_willis: Actually i had previously installed vmware and i try to fax out using window fax component but unfortunately it too did not detect my fax modem as like ubuntu. [08:22] thanks [08:22] how come my networkmanager (applet) (when right-clicked) has no VPN options? [08:22] [[thufir]]: if you're comfortable with the terminal, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # before the CD line [08:23] My gdmsetup cant find the theme files after I click add even when the file is right there! [08:23] Adpad: more likely in the system admin section; forgot the kde name for that [08:23] hi folks [08:23] indeed i did install firefox from the repos [08:23] <[[thufir]]> artenius: yes, thanks, I was just looking at that as a solution. seems odd to be requested for a disc, tho. [08:23] Apad use Gome ;) [08:23] what is the difference between updatedb and trackerd? aren't both programs doing pretty much the same? [08:23] im just wandering if my profile is all messed up [08:23] Gnome [08:23] Bye [08:23] moDumass: and you removed the previous settings? [08:24] [[thufir]]: not if you installed from a disc though, right? [08:24] ;) [08:24] SO my problems are probably related to KDE ? [08:24] moDumass: aye, delete it [08:24] No [08:24] i didnt remove prev settings only because i dont know how [08:24] senorpedro: I think updatedb only searches filenames.. trackerd searches content of files.. and mail etc [08:24] Adpad: no way; kde is fine [08:24] so what do i need updatedb for? because it runs every time i start my system [08:25] you just need to install your Nvidia restricted drivers for your brand of ubuntu [08:25] when I play movie with sub the sub is not read no font [08:25] Adpad: dont listen to the gnome users ;] I'm on KDE and it rocks [08:25] where? [08:25] cool :) [08:25] I was just stating my opinion about the gnome thing [08:25] brianlight: as was I ;] [08:26] like i uninstalled ff2.x and selected to install ff3.x, and now i have 3.x with all the same bookmarks and jaz as my 2.x [08:26] hehhe [08:26] brb, screen might crash again... [08:26] <[[thufir]]> artenius: thanks, that looks to have fixed it. but, I would hope that all packages get installed from the "internet" since those will be up to date. the disc might be old, missing, etc. [08:26] moDumass: check the proxy settings in firefox 3 [08:27] yeh im lookin into it as we speak [08:27] [[thufir]]: yes, it won't look for a CD anymore, just internet repos [08:27] direct connection to the internet was selected [08:28] My gdmsetup cant find the theme files after I click add even when the file is right there! [08:28] moDumass: the only thing I can figure is the previous use of TOR; but since you removed it the speed should return to normal [08:28] what else could be slowing down www access through firefox and konqueror but not opera [08:29] yeh and tor would only slow stuff down when tor was on [08:29] spaceaviator: what about drag and drop the tar.gz file? [08:29] bazhang, that works [08:29] but the add button doesn't [08:29] how do i find out, from command line, what files a package installed? [08:29] hello. is there no better player then amarok or banshee? I just want to play internet radio [08:29] cambazz, streamtuner [08:29] schwepps: the dependencies you mean? or something else [08:29] cambaz, exaile [08:30] bazhang, any ideas? [08:30] hmm... let me try both [08:30] cambazz, streamtuner uses xmms [08:30] spaceaviator: um not really sure as I dont use gnome; but the drag and drop does work right? you can change themes successfully, correct? [08:30] if i put a file in my NFS folder, is it actaully still on my computer or the server? [08:31] cambazz> audacious [08:31] Streamtuner uses what ever you tell it too [08:31] if not, how can i "push" it? [08:31] bazhang, yeah but I need to upload a remaster so I need everything to work [08:31] I have just installed ubuntu on my desktop pc, but now i'm not able to boot in windows anymore, i have set the correct menu entry in the /boot/grub/menu.lst, but it just hangs [08:31] bazhang: no, like, if I installed, say tcpdump via apt-get, where is the tcpdump binary? [08:31] you can choose your streaming audio player in Streamtuner [08:32] schwepps: the apt cache archives? [08:32] sorry, am back now [08:32] schwepps: apt-file show tcpdump [08:33] robokop: thanks [08:33] Can someone please talk to me about the Restricted Drivers manager in KDE? [08:33] how do I get to it [08:33] bazhang: so apt-cache? [08:33] Adpad: it's there by default in gutsy; just need to search in the system admin menus for it [08:33] robokop: old problem: I suggest googling for having the grub-menu on a floppy-disk, then repair windows with the cd. Then you can fiddle it out without time-pressure [08:34] ok I'm in System Settings [08:34] quax: no floppy drive in my system [08:35] is it VISTA, or XP? [08:35] quax: XP [08:35] I was just watching gkrellm cpu monitor, and it seems that my computer will only use 1 core at a time. its like if 1 core is at 89%, the other core wont go above 11%. but usually it will just run 1 or the other core at 100%. [08:35] apad I would jsut do a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [08:36] hi [08:36] someone knows how to translate a gtk program in diff languages? (i'm programming a program) [08:36] dabbill, a lot of that depends on the apps running also. I see similer effect, and even under windows it seems i rarely max out both. [08:36] of use the ubuntu restricted drivers manager to install Nvidia drivers [08:36] XP is quite unfriendly and uncooperative with linux as regards boot and the mbr. I am not expert enough to talk you through. I suggest: rpeair the boot with windows cd for windows, and try repairing ubuntu thereafter... [08:37] or^ [08:37] Dr_willis, what version of windows you running? [08:37] (assuming xp is the OS you are working with until now) [08:37] <[[thufir]]> the rjb package fails to install, it seems hung on the JAVA_HOME env variable: http://www.pastebin.ca/955015 . any suggestions with regards to JAVA_HOME? I think I have it set correctly. [08:37] dabbill, Beasta err Vista:) [08:37] quax: fixmbr works, but if i install grub afterwards it leaves me with linux only [08:38] Apad the Ubuntu packages you need installed are linux-restricted-modules nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common [08:38] someone knows how to translate a gtk program in diff languages? (i'm programming a program) [08:39] hello [08:39] bazhang: I don't have the ADVANCED tab in my system settings for some reason, could that be why I can't find the restricted drivers icons? [08:39] i need help [08:39] Dr_willis, thats weird, i always see my vista install maxing out both cores or balancing the load between the cores in vista. [08:39] Adpad: this is gutsy correct? [08:39] Dr_willis, like see them both running at 60%. [08:39] i tried to install 8.04 via Wubi [08:39] but when system restarts [08:40] i see a wallpaper after loading [08:40] #ubuntu+1 please Max_demon2 [08:40] and installation window [08:40] anyone here use vmware? [08:40] bazhang: Linux Mint (but it's based on 7.10 right?) [08:40] ToddEDM: aye [08:40] Heh [08:40] Hardy room is dead [08:41] i want to know if you can take files from the host , and get it to my windows guest [08:41] Adpad: argh..Mint? that is not supported here; no wonder you are having problems [08:41] oh :( sorry, I hadn't realised [08:41] Adpad: Mint charges money for support [08:41] people recommended Mint to me as "the way to go" .. :( [08:41] Adpad: back up and install ubuntu (the original!) and then come back ;] [08:42] www.ubuntu.com Adpad ;] [08:42] ok ;) [08:42] or #linuxmint ;[ [08:43] pretty much no-one there [08:43] bazhang: can you get files from the host and put them onto the guest? [08:43] and you guys have been so helpful [08:43] bazhang: by changing to Ubuntu standard is there anything i'll be missing? [08:43] is it harder to use? [08:43] did I miss somthing Adpad your using mint? [08:43] Dr_willis, there are no settings or any thing in Ubuntu to check for dual core CPU's? [08:43] i need help setting up my monitor... i've tried researching everywhere!! i don't know how to fix this.. i have tried turning on the nvidia controller on my restricted drivers list and it says "...not enabled" i have an nvidia geforce6100 with a hpw2207 monitor with native resolution 1680x1050 ... please im getting frustraded and don't know what to do :( [08:44] ToddEDM: you mean the host and guest os in vmware? I was spacing out there sorry ;] [08:44] hi guys, is there somewhere i can put a command that will be executed on system resume (from ram suspend) ? [08:44] bazhang: , lol yeah the os's [08:44] Adpad: yeah you'll be missing the total lack of support in Mint ;] [08:44] brianlight - yes :/ I thought Mint was based entirely on Ubuntu and therefore 1 and the same [08:44] lol bazhang ;) thanks for all your help [08:44] Adpad: and we never sleep here ;] [08:44] heheh [08:45] okay, I will be back in a couple of hours [08:45] pity, I got grub working and _everything_ ;) [08:45] Adpad: ubuntu is based on debian, and no, you'll probably find it a lot easier than Mint, especially when it comes to support. [08:45] ToddEDM: sure you can do that; you mean shared folders like samba or just drag and drop? [08:45] artenius: thanks [08:45] dabbill, if the kernel fines them it will use them. IF you are using the 386 kernel - i belive it will NOT use them. you need the -generic kernel [08:46] Adpad go gnome dude ;) lulz [08:46] lol [08:46] dabbill, at least thats how the hardy release it working for me. (which i am beta testign right now) [08:46] anyone? looking for a place to drop some commands to be executed on system resume from ram suspend [08:46] yeah try getting ubuntu support in #debian ;] [08:46] bazhang: You seem to be the most knowledgeable person here. Got time to field a question about Hardy? [08:46] bazhang: all i want to do is take some files i download(in linux) and get them onto windows (bec. they are windows only programs) [08:46] its google earth pro [08:46] UbunLin: wrong channel ;] and that would be Dr_willis [08:46] Dr_willis, yea it sees the system as haveing 2 cores. [08:46] bazhang: so it's mint's fault damnit! [08:47] bazhang: Yeah I've been asking for a bit in the other channel. No activity and so far no response on the forum. Quite annoying. [08:47] UbunLin I'm currently on Hardy? [08:47] Dr_willis, just tryin to make sure i am getting max performance out of my computer :) [08:48] dabbill, even when reencodeing videos.. i rarely seem to max out my 2 cpus. [08:48] dabbill, theres always other bottlenecks it seems. [08:48] bazhang: if I get the Desktop install of Ubuntu, will it come with KDE or Gnome? [08:48] both [08:48] Dr_willis, yea, just wish i could get my video card to work correctly now, so that i can game on this PC. [08:48] kewl, so you choose? [08:48] go with gnome ;) [08:48] Default is Gnome though [08:49] Hallo, People! Ubuntu is great! I have a question (maybe a silly one - you tell me) I read about a Microsoft Word vulnerability the other day, which can be used by hackers orviruses. It said it effects "applications which can open, edit Word documents are effected". Does it include Ubuntu + OpenOffice too ??? [08:49] Adpad: the gnome is ubuntu; you seem to like kde so that would be kubuntu; there is also xfce which is xubuntu; you can change once you have installed though so no worries ;] [08:49] Gpalco: windows viruses don't effect linux [08:49] ok excellent [08:50] Gpalco: no [08:50] i need help setting up my monitor... i've tried researching everywhere!! i don't know how to fix this.. i have tried turning on the nvidia controller on my restricted drivers list and it says "...not enabled" i have an nvidia geforce6100 with a hpw2207 monitor with native resolution 1680x1050 ... please im getting frustraded and don't know what to do :( [08:50] downloading the Ubuntu image.. [08:50] artenius, but it is something about Word document type or something. if I got it correctly [08:50] J3KYLL: could you pastebin your xorg.conf please? [08:50] so you'll be able to help me change, right guys? :P [08:51] Adpad: tis what we live for ;] [08:51] Gpalco: only in windows OS's [08:51] :D legends [08:51] I really hopet his sorts out my troubles [08:51] bazhang: im really sorry, how do i do that? [08:51] artenius, GOOD! Thank you [08:51] I've battled for 3 days, didn't realise that it was Mint because I just assumed it was inherrantly Ubuntu! [08:51] anyone? looking for a place to drop some commands to be executed on system resume from ram suspend [08:51] Adpad, i use the Linux Mint stuff for ages with very few problems. :) [08:51] I meen, Good for mt [08:51] Noooooo [08:51] :/ [08:52] J3KYLL: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit and post the url it gives you here [08:52] bazhang: i know what the xorg.conf is but whats pastebin?

[09:50] bazhang, not just ripping, compressing it as well [09:50] jeremyreid, its pboerbly best to actually cd to where the executable is. so you dont need to give a full path also. saves hassles. with spaces in the path [09:50] msingh, k9copy is pretty good . In fact I use it and I know it works [09:50] cd cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/WorldOfWarcraft (or whatever its called) [09:50] oops. one to many cds [09:50] ohhh so i should'nt have spaces [09:50] * msingh apt-gets [09:51] tarelerulz, does it let you compress it as well?

There's transmission installed by default, which might be what you want [09:59] i ran ifconfig [09:59] it shows my ethernet card [09:59] stefg do you have a link for the program you mean? [09:59] helo?? [09:59] and a device called lo [09:59] jeremyreid, you totally ignored the 'cd to the dir' part....

However software is installed differently in Linux/Ubuntu, so no 'download, click setup.exe' [10:01] ah. i cant get hardy. not a good enough pc for it [10:01] what is the next command u said? Anyway i'll need another reboot to do that.. [10:01] J3KYLL: well then will likely need to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg followed by a reboot [10:01] wildschwein: what do you have?

[11:15] Anyone of you have this installation problem?? [11:15] I am installing Hardy, but I'd like to make a backup of my Gutsy before upgrading. How would best make a backup of that partition? [11:15] arquebus: you mean compile sources or something else? [11:15] I read alot of posts but no solution... [11:15] ubotu: It does nothing, gives me a message : overwriting possibly-customized... [11:15] killaz: fd0 is the floppy disk afaik no needed to install [11:16] yes, compile source or binarys [11:16] to ubuntu [11:16] Finnish: yes it does create a new xorg.conf file to test it restart X [11:16] killaz: fd0 is indeed just Floppy drive, not a problem [11:16] erUSUL: it show this error and then stops the installation.. [11:16] so there is a problem.. [11:17] there is commericial software for linux, I dont imagine that would come as source [11:17] !backup [11:17] There are many ways to back your system up.

[11:18] arquebus: you can get deb files or compile both are possible; the deb can be double-clicked and the compile requires you to install build-essential from the repos; the instructions usually come with the source file [11:18] erUSUL, i think that got it... thanks [11:18] hi [11:18] i cant play dvds [11:18] hey, want to hear a laugh? I'm trying to tweak my power consumption and ACPI is currently the main cause for processor wakes! [11:19] arquebus, comercial software is usually provided on the binary form, you just need to unpack and execute it [11:19] got to go; be back later [11:19] how is it possible a bug like this can be left in the installation? === never|mobi is now known as neversfelde|mobi [11:20] erUSUL: And then? [11:20] ok, thx bazhang, I thought that apt-get handled deb files for you, so that you dont have to fool with dependencys. And there is commerical software for linux, I dont think that would come as source or deb files [11:20] anyone here fluent with nfs I need to know how to map the uid on the server to my uid on the client [11:20] arquebus, apt handles repositories, you mau have standalone .deb files, those will not be managed by apt === Ronald|Laptop is now known as Ronald [11:21] roddersg, there's no 'mapping', you must make sure they're the same [11:21] ok, thx Lamego [11:21] how do you make them the same? [11:21] next question, i have realtek high definition sound, why is it so quiet? I cant turn it up loud? [11:21] 2 different systems, 2 different uids, is there a mount option? [11:22] roddersg, no [11:23] can someone help me with alsa? [11:24] I remember reading somewhere there was a static-map but that was for a redhat version [11:24] Finnish: i told yu to restart and test the new X configuration. Crlt + Alt + backspace should do it [11:24] i have realtek sound, and i can hear sounds, but I cant turn it up loud like it should be able... [11:25] erUSUL: Yeah, I did it [11:25] It was no different [11:25] Finnish: and is the new conf the one you want? [11:25] No [11:25] roddersg: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=linux+nfs4+uid+map <-- this is what you're looking for [11:25] I can't see the conf [11:25] Finnish: what is exactly the probelm? resolution? [11:25] Yeah [11:26] hspaans: looking at this http://man.he.net/man5/exports [11:26] And windows are white/sluggish [11:26] I will ask later, thanks guys [11:26] erUSUL: omg thankyou for that recovery thing, saved my life.

[11:28] how can I make a hidden file not a hidden folder ? (I can view it in nautilus when selecting "view hidden files and folders", but there is no reason why it should be hidden) [11:29] Does anybody know how to configure printers behind print server ? [11:29] Finnish: dunno i use gnome? maybe there is no equivalent... you can ask in #kubuntu [11:30] sinbox: What folder/file is this?

[11:32] moonlight: flac is an audio format all audio players should play them [11:33] Adpad: Installing KDE is easy: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. I don't know exactly how you'd remove all of GNOME. [11:33] erUSUL: Totem plays audio as well. [11:33] (the movie player) [11:33] Adpad: removing gnome was a mess, while i tried it! [11:33] Adpad: the later installing kubuntu-desktop meta-package the former really hard and you have to do it yourself by hand [11:33] erUSUL , MenZa: i have here an file with .flac extension , his size is 300Mb [11:33] MenZa: yep [11:33] MenZa, it's a folder with audio files on a secondary drive (formatted ntfs) that came out of my old windows machine [11:33] is it a problem to leave Gnome on and install KDE?

[11:51] !envy | Adpad, algyz [11:51] Adpad, algyz: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [11:51] algyz - Ive tried both of those [11:51] MenZa, I cant find that field, the preferences only show a place to fill in my login name, not a server password [11:51] Adpad: I think if you tried to install drivers manually, then you should continue doing this [11:51] arquebus, there is a server password field on the server setup dialog [11:52] What Lamego said, arquebus [11:52] pici: cant i just uninstall all sound devices and reboot to c if ubuntu finds it [11:52] !ssh [11:52] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [11:52] ok, thx MenZa, I will check for that [11:52] Adpad: are you long time with ubuntu? [11:52] nope, a few days [11:52] but a few days spent on this problem [11:52] it's making me want to quit though! [11:52] :( [11:53] thx Lamego also [11:53] Adpad: the best way I think is to reinstall, then in fresh install just do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [11:53] clover2203: Not really, Linux doesnt really work like that. I suggest just asking some more in here, I'm not too great with troubleshooting sound issues, sorry :/ [11:53] Adpad: I would prefer doing like this [11:53] pici: k.. thanx neways :) [11:53] Adpad: afterwards sudo nvidia-xconfig === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [11:53] Adpad: hope it will work [11:54] algyz - yes, I did a clean install now. All I've done so far is install nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-xconfig [11:54] but still no luck [11:54] Adpad: maybe first you downloaded drivers from nvidia? [11:54] Hi! Is there any multiplayer game runt from telnet or MUD client that is ascii and not text-based? [11:54] I was hoping to look at someone's xorg.conf [11:54] sudo nvidia-settings have you tryed that? [11:54] Adpad: after installing drivers you have to restart system [11:54] yes, that just brings up the little GUI right? [11:54] yes [11:54] i have trouble with mounting some filesystems [11:55] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6033/ is the output of mount -a [11:55] Hi... anyone know of an easy way to make an updated Gusty CD... all the updates that are needed after an install use up my download allowances... Also, anyone know if this will be better in Hardy? [11:55] Adpad: did you restart the computer? [11:55] Adpad: it should open a window to edit settings for your card if it does you have the drivers [11:56] algyz - afraid so.. I've also tried some other stuff like editing the SYNC frequencies manually [11:56] do i have to "mount" external hard drives in order to access them? i got a phone that i wanna transfer some files to... [11:56] !dmraid | bartmon [11:56] chazco: There'll always be updates. [11:56] balle: Yes, you will have to mount an external drive to access it. [11:56] MenZa - True, but there are so many and in the UK most ISPs limit downloads... [11:56] Even with the apt archive backed up it doesnt really help [11:56] Menza: is that just like regular mounting or what? and how can i see which drive to mount? [11:57] Adpad: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf into www.pastebin.ca and show the link [11:57] ok [11:57] balle: Just like regular mounting, yes. What are you trying to mount? [11:57] I have some trouble mounting my harddrives can sb help me [11:57] balle: places/computer and click the drive you want open [11:57] this is one of the latest xorg.conf: http://paste.stgraber.org/1925 [11:58] Adpad: sorry i mised what card do you have?

How can I completly reinstall mysql? I obviously butchered my configuration, the server refuses to start.

I don't want to remove mysql-common, since to many packages debend on it [12:05] can anyone tell me what this command does? env | grep DISPLAY [12:05] Christoz: Checks what display you're using. [12:05] Christoz: More detailed, lists your environment variables, followed by grepping them (e.g. weeding everything else out) than DISPLAY. [12:06] Adpad: if you need more help let me know [12:06] thank you [12:07] Menza DISPLAY=:0.0 what this result means? [12:07] Christoz: It means you're using display 0.0 [12:07] e.g. you have one X server running (I believe) [12:08] Menza what's the difference between 0.0 and 10.0 for example ...also display of desktop?

[13:12] jrib: I'm trying to compile "kgrubeditor" and it complains about not having KDE4... [13:12] CJS3141, well then you need kde4 [13:13] HardyOne: I'm a newbie at this--can I have KDE4 installed alongside gnome? I'm on gutsy. Are there any issues? [13:14] how do you enable optical digital jack in ubuntu?

Like I said, I'm new at this. :-) [13:17] CJS3141, Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE pre-installed [13:18] hardyone: yes, but I thought you had to use either gnome or kde, you couldn't use both. Is that totally wrong? Can I use both on the same system with no problems? [13:19] CJS3141, the main issue for me is that when installing kde along side gnome the menus get mixed and there is no easy way to remove the kde apps or the gnome apps from the system . requires you do it all by hand [13:19] CJS3141, nothing will break if that is what you mean [13:20] apt-get [13:20] hardyone: ummmm... you can't uninstall using synaptic? What do you mean you have to do it by hand? Using apt-get? [13:21] CJS3141, yes you can use synaptic but there is no easy one command that takes care of it all === moonlight is now known as azureus-lover [13:21] aptitude [13:22] hi all i need help configure my modem to forward port 22 to my local ip can any help please? === azureus-lover is now known as mo0nlight [13:23] hardyone: so many of the programs I've come across are for KDE--why does Ubuntu use gnome? What is the advantage? Why wouldn't everyone just use kubuntu? [13:24] CJS3141: hehe fvwm . [13:24] CJS3141, the personal choice of people is available [13:24] CJS3141, it is just personal prefference just so happened that you been comming accross kde apps but there is a gnome equivalent for every one. KDE has a more shinny look to it. more like windows IMHO [13:25] I have closed vnc player but the sound is still running and I can not close it. [13:25] Kde like xp. too slow [13:25] how do you force applcations to close in ubuntu [13:25] zainerkin_: ps -A | grep xxxxxxxxxxxx [13:26] zainerkin, I give them a stern look and they usualy close [13:26] LOL [13:26] kill it [13:26] zainerkin_, xkill as a terminal program can help [13:26] zainerkin_ kill 31 where 31 is the pid number [13:26] zainerkin: System->Administration->System Monitor. It's a rough equivalent to Task Manager under Windows, and should allow you to kill the program. [13:26] Hardyone: the gnome equivalent to the program I'm using is called Ggrubeditor and has been discontinued... I'd rather use a program still being supported. === k4_ is now known as cE_TanTieQ [13:27] my ubuntu 7.04 generates bad dns address for every new session === cE_TanTieQ is now known as k4_ [13:27] CJS3141: vi is good [13:27] what i should do? [13:27] the thing is a was watching a movie with vnc player which I have closed down but the music is still running and I can not eject my cd [13:27] ubuntu, what do you mean? /etc/resolv.conf is wrong? [13:27] the sound is still playing. [13:27] ubuntu-usr, , what do you mean? /etc/resolv.conf is wrong? [13:27] its a dianish porno LOL [13:27] vallhalla81: I presume you mean your router. Check out this page if you have one of those: http://portforward.com/routers.htm [13:27] jimode: yes [13:27] CJS3141, then by all means please go ahead. I am not telling you to not use kde or kde apps, just trying to let you know what to expect :). I prefer gnome but I have used kde on different occasions [13:28] zainerkin_: ps -A find the pid [13:28] nick? [13:28] how do i find the pid [13:28] it is written that these settings are set by network manager and i shouldn`t touch them [13:28] zainerkin_ try eject in terminal [13:28] ps -A | grep vnc [13:28] Open a Terminal, and do "ps -A". It will give you a list of programs and their PIDs. [13:29] its says in terminla that the device is busy [13:29] zainerkin: You could right click-on your top panel, click "add to panel" and then add "force quit" it will easily allow you to kill a window. [13:29] zainerkin_ ps -A will show some info aboute that vnc [13:29] by the sounds of it they are getting busy [13:29] lol [13:29] !ohmy | zainerkin_ [13:29] zainerkin_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [13:29] zainerkin_ lol [13:29] does ubuntu 7.10 support microsoft wireless 2000 keyboard set? (Cause even windows hardly supports it, ha ha.) [13:29] oh dear [13:30] zainerkin_: man kill [13:30] I think we've given him ... six different answers now? [13:30] zainerkin pidof or top will also show process [13:30] Never let it be said that Linux lacks freedom of choice. [13:30] sorry to be asking noob questions here.. [13:30] zainerkin_: I use mplayer it's easy [13:31] jimqode: do you have some idea? [13:31] I used the add programs feature and chose gnome partition editor, but I can't find an icon for it [13:31] the other programs I added all got icons.. [13:31] ubuntu-usr, that dns address is given to your machine by the dhcp server [13:31] ideal, it is called gparted [13:32] TrioTorus: thank you [13:32] or in terminal just type gparted and hit enter [13:32] how do I get the pid of the vnc player [13:32] HardyOne: where do I find it? [13:32] ideal: check System>Administration>partition editor [13:32] ubuntu-usr, for most home users dhcp server is the modem you use to connect to internet. you should configure your modem [13:32] jimqode: correct, it is wrong for linux but good for windows on second machine [13:32] ideal: system -> admin. [13:32] can I list all the process/applications running [13:32] legend2440: : oh yeah, thanks.. found it :) [13:32] ideal, gparted has to be run by root. so it assumes you know what you're doing. open a terminal and type sudo gparted and it should open.. [13:32] zainerkin: ps ax [13:32] zainerkin: System->Administration->System Monitor. [13:32] zainerkin: ps aux in a terminal. [13:33] ubuntu-usr, maybe you are using static dns configurayion on windows machine? [13:33] jimqode: i`d like to set open dns and rest of settings i want to have from router [13:33] jimqode: i will chech that on my router [13:33] ubuntu-usr: did you use dhcp? [13:33] jimqode: yes [13:34] wxvlc was the process which I have stopped now. thanks [13:34] ok so.. I have ubuntu installed on hda.. then hdb isn't partitioned.. what do I do in this gparted to get the hdb up and running? I mean, every time I boot, so I don't have to mount it each time [13:34] Scunizi: ideal "gksudo gparted" sudo is unsafe for graphic apps === sil3nt is now known as S|L3nT [13:34] ideal: edit /etc/fstab [13:34] fvwmnet: yes, i`m currently use rhem but without dnses [13:35] ideal: man fstab [13:35] ubuntu-usr: dhclient [13:35] ideal, check out fvwmnet post.. you need to add a mount line to fstab [13:35] should I just partition the whole hdb as one partition? It's an old 40 gig drive so it's not very big [13:35] fvwmnet: The Gateway acts as DHCP Server is enabled [13:35] ideal, I would.. format with ext3 [13:36] hi! is it possible to install a minimal xserver with about 50MB? [13:36] Scunizi: ok [13:36] !minimal | Hatl [13:36] Hatl: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:36] is there a tool to see the degree of file fragmentation on an ext3 filesystem? [13:36] ubuntu-usr: run dhclient -> he set ip and dns [13:36] Gary_inNYC: fsck prints that when it finshes [13:36] Gary_inNYC, the function of the file system is to prevent that from happening this is not MS [13:37] Scunizi: do I have to leave any free space? cause I thought it said something about that in a guide I found [13:37] ideal, are you just using this drive as a secondary data drive? or are you going to use it for something else? [13:37] !defrag [13:37] 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. [13:38] fsck prints non-contiguous, not fragmentation. also, that percentage happens to be growing for me on my home partition. How would I know if fragmentation is not occurring if there are no tests for it? [13:38] fvwmnet: it doesn`t slove my peoblem. my web browser now can`t work [13:38] Scunizi: I'm just going to use it for like storing mp3s and stuff if I download any torrents [13:39] ideal, format the entire thing.. or whatever the max is allowed by gparted [13:39] like for instance, I have 11% non-contiguous for filesystem, which begs to question, what percentage (if any) is fragmented? [13:39] ping you gateway is ok? [13:39] Gary_inNYC, fragmentation does not have a major performance impact on linux filesystems [13:39] !defrag | Gary_inNYC [13:39] Gary_inNYC: 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. [13:40] kk [13:40] Gary_inNYC: ext not fat. [13:40] Gary_inNYC: fragmentation is only an issue if your partition is mor than 90% full [13:40] this info is concurrent with what i've read so far. I'm assuming I shouldn't worry about it, but I'm keeping an eye on it. [13:40] Gary_inNYC, back it all up and reinstall it if you think you need to deal with it .. but your call [13:40] Scunizi: ok, so I did that, and it's like creating the ext3 filesystem now.. but, if I mount this to the filesystem later.. will it show up as a separate disk or will it like just be a directory? I mean, so one can tell the free space on it etc.. [13:41] fvwmnet: yes [13:41] ping www.google.com ok? [13:41] ubuntu-usr: can get ip address? [13:41] fvwmnet: nothing appears [13:42] ideal, you need to create a file in /media to mount the drive to. Say.. sudo mkdir /media/hdb1 [13:42] fvwmnet: ping: unknown host google.com [13:42] vi /etc/resolv.conf [13:42] add you nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [13:42] I was following the instructions ( http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_Catalyst_8.3_Driver_Manually ) there and removed everything to do with fglrx which I think is the problem and now I've rebooted and fglrxinfo says mesa and getting several errors. [13:43] Scunizi: ok, so will that create "hdb1" in the media folder? [13:43] fvwmnet: but after every restart i loose it. yhat`s my point [13:43] Scunizi: man, I can't wait to be more familiar with this, so I don't have to spend so much time on everything, LOL [13:43] ideal, then you need to add a line to fstab so the drive will mount on boot. blkid will discover the uuid of the drive. type gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and you may be able to copy one of the other drive lines then modify it for the correct uuid [13:43] I'm looking for the correct kernel image for a smp i386 xeon box. does anyone no the correct package? [13:43] These are packages for amd im looking for the intel equvalent. [13:43] -linux-image-2.6.12-9-k7-smp [13:43] -linux-image-k7-smp [13:43] -linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-k7-smp [13:43] mrspinx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:43] -linux-restricted-modules-k7-smp [13:44] mrspinx, Gutsy ? [13:44] ubuntu-usr: you can use static ip [13:44] mrspinx, please don't spam the channel with more than two lines .. gutsy chooses the right kernel for your boxes hardware [13:44] fvwmnet: besides there is written that i shouldn`t touch this file because network manager generates it [13:44] fvwmnet: yes [13:45] mrspinx: the generic kernel image supports smp and i386 fine. [13:45] ideal, yes it will create hdb1.. remember most everything in linux is a "file" or text file.. even the directory of the new drive.. it becomes a file called /media/hdb1 [13:45] you should use the -generic-, the specific arch kernels are obsolete [13:45] Lamego Yes 7.10 [13:45] Scunizi: ok, well I'm not sure I totally understand you there, what's an uuid? :) [13:45] fvwmnet: sorry actually no [13:45] ubuntu-usr: root can do this. [13:46] !supportroot [13:46] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [13:46] ideal, when you open fstab for editing you'll see these long numbers like serial numbers associated with different partitions. That is the uuid. It's a way of identifing a partition or drive [13:46] hi guys. i have an athlon x2 64bit processor. what i would like to ask is this: 32bit os OR 64bit os??? [13:46] fvwmnet: ok then i should edit resolv.cof [13:46] hey all, just wondering has anyone gotten the patched version of the bcm43xx wifi driver to work. i can't get it to compile properly, it's driving me mad [13:46] DimitrisZ, you can install both, it's your choice [13:46] what would be better though??? [13:46] !wireless | seamus_ie (this works if you follow the links) [13:46] fvwmnet: sorry resolve.conf [13:46] seamus_ie (this works if you follow the links): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:46] ompaul wont happen again. I have a two processor computer. Ubuntu thinks its a four processor box [13:47] DimitrisZ: i have the same and initially went for 64bit, now on 32bit and machine is working much better and actually seems faster [13:47] I upgradet to 8.04 but now x doesn't work properly [13:47] mrspinx, it would you got dual core procs I guess [13:47] fvwmnet: nameserver ???.???.???.??? [13:47] !hardy | reikalusikka [13:47] !hardy | reikalusikka [13:47] reikalusikka: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [13:47] ty [13:47] fvwmnet: 192.168.2.1 [13:47] Scunizi: oh yeah, fdisk -l will show that, right? [13:47] fvwmnet: this is my router`s addr [13:47] so should I degrade it back t 7.10? is that even possible? [13:47] This is an older computer both single cores [13:47] reikalusikka, help is available in #ubuntu+1 [13:47] better with 32bit huh? [13:47] ok [13:47] ompaul: yea thanks, i have followed all the steps. the problem i have is with a version of the driver patched for injection [13:48] ideal, maybe.. I've never used it that way. [13:48] reikalusikka, you were not supposed to use hardy at this time, unless you want to beta test it [13:48] ubuntu-usr: sometime add this ok. [13:48] :D [13:48] DimitrisZ: yea i would say so, a lot less headaches! [13:48] Lamego: ok [13:48] but drivers are also available for x64 right? [13:49] DimitrisZ, yes [13:49] reikalusikka, you should be ok.. It's pretty much done. go to /join #ubuntu+1 for additional help.. [13:49] fvwmnet: if i put there opendns addresses it willbe all right (opendns.com) [13:49] I have a problem with sound in my compaq v3000 using Ubuntu 7.10 [13:49] DimitrisZ, i don't have any problems with 64bit [13:49] DimitrisZ: oh yea definatly, the main problems with 64bit is with things like flash, java and random alpha or beta level software [13:50] ideal: put this in /etc/fstab file but substitute your uuid number UUID=232da3f4-7f84-455f-a8bf-56964154ef0e /media/hdb1 ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2 [13:50] fvwmnet: until i will restart computer again [13:50] doesn't gnash solve flash problems in x64?

[13:53] DimitrisZ: yea you can, i never went down that route myself, changing to 32bit fixed some other issues i was having too which is why i changed [13:53] ok one last thing. do the new ati drivers work with ati hd2600 on ubuntu?

[14:15] Templer, have you tried to remove the ubuntu-docs package ? [14:16] !hardy > Funky_ [14:16] nope [14:16] should i [14:16] Templer, do it, and reinstall it after [14:16] yes, something was broken during the install [14:16] cheers will do [14:16] Funky_: booting into linux? using grub? /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:16] Funky_: #ubuntu+1 :) [14:16] just got the message :) [14:16] thanks [14:17] if [ "$?" = "$ROMS" ]; then $PROGRAMA $ROMS [14:17] fi [14:17] :) [14:17] I have this windowspartition with has some filenames with UTF-8 characters (I think: ä) and I don't see them on ubuntus filemanager noin terminal.

[14:20] please someone, why was the resolution on my liveCD ok, but once I installed, everything went haywire? my screen is capable of 1024.. res, but its now 640.. [14:20] thanks that worked [14:20] anyone here using the bc43xx driver patched for injection with the 2.6.22-14-generic SMP kernel?

[14:20] Pici, thanks for ur advice [14:20] skylive: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:20] fvwmnet: i wiil put new file on pastie.org [14:20] skylive, probably you will need to reconfigure your screen and graphics driver [14:21] which is better - debian or ubuntu? [14:21] skylive, from a terminal run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:21] Funky two things wrong.. You need to be in the HArdy room if you are running Hardy.. (Ubuntu+1) and wubi isnt a real install.. as in unsupported and your problem is related to wubi and not the os. [14:21] !better > SatMan [14:21] !better seamus_ie [14:21] !better > seamus_ie [14:21] SatMan, Offtopic [14:21] ok [14:22] fvwmnet: http://pastie.org/169676 [14:22] as for now I am going with ubuntu :) [14:22] Lamego: Thanks, errm, if you are still here later, can I get back to you? my com kinda overheated =.=" [14:22] does Compiz run on KDE or is it meant for Gnome [14:22] Adpad: of course it does ;] [14:22] Adpad, it'll run on both [14:23] :) [14:23] SatMan, You are not limited to running one distro, you can setup an extra partition just for testing other ones out and dual boot them [14:23] fvwmnet: in resolve.conf are now 3 addresses [14:23] skylive, not sure, try :) [14:23] * MM2 figured it out: -o utf8. How that is not default option? [14:23] Jack_Sparrow: Wubi is a real install, and is supported. [14:23] I ran it on KDE and it had funny behavior/errors [14:23] must be doing something wrong? [14:23] SatMan, or even use vmware server to install them "virtually" [14:23] but that was mint Adpad [14:24] cool [14:24] nope man, was on Kubuntu [14:24] ;) [14:24] evand, Wubi is running under windows is a simulated folder setup. it isnt a real install, it isnt safe and I personally think it is worthless [14:24] Adpad: what was the problem? [14:24] how can I optimize (tweak?) my Ubuntu [14:24] alt-tab caused areas of screen to go black, etc [14:24] like I did with Windows [14:24] ubuntu-user: in first line you can you > not >> [14:24] but i will come ask again later, going to reboot to test [14:24] (properly) [14:24] Adpad: that was driver issue not kde [14:25] ahh ok :) [14:25] Hi guys is there anybody here who can help me with a kernel panic due to some already fixed HD bad sectors? [14:25] wubi is a real install, it is just installed over a ntfs partition [14:25] Jack_Sparrow: It's not "simulated". The only difference is that the root filesystem is a loop-mounted file on a NTFS partition rather than being directly mounted partition. You can think it's worthless all you want, but don't tell other users that it's not real and not supported. [14:25] is it possible to do a hardy installation with less than 1gb? [14:26] Lamego, It is a simulated partition inside a window folder, That doe not count as a real install [14:26] !wubi [14:26] wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://wubi-installer.org/ [14:26] That needs to be changed. [14:26] Jack_Sparrow, uh why not ? A "real" installation is not based on the media it is installed, eg, an LVM LV is not a real partition [14:27] does anyone here use truecrypt on ubuntu? how would I go about installing it ? [14:27] Everheart, replace disks -- now if not sooner [14:27] I opened up "edit menus" (right-click on the Applications menu), and somehow in trying to delete one entry, I deleted the whole directory tree--I have no more menus under "applications" anymore. :-( I can't even run the "edit menus" anymore--can anyone please help? [14:27] bassinboywk: they would know in #ubuntu+1 channel. Thats hardy support channel [14:27] bazhang - thanks again for the help [14:27] be back later, ciao all [14:28] but the bad sectors are fixed, why should I replace then? Windows failed too but chkdsk fixed it, why can't it get fixed on ubuntu? [14:28] Lamego, this is a support room... we need to drop the discussion. [14:28] cya [14:28] Maybe someone can help me with this; I have a NTFS disk with a folder on it that used to be a mount point for another drive in windows [14:28] thanks everyone who helped me today :) [14:28] how do i remove that folder? [14:28] with your teeth [14:28] Warning: Unable to remove directory MOViE/ - Operation not supported [14:28] snmpee: not helpful [14:29] fvwmnet: my resolve.conf after reboot: http://pastie.org/169680 [14:29] Jack_Sparrow, sorry, just had to correct your doubtfull opinnion on the answer [14:29] bassinboywk: or read this it will tell you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [14:29] ericus: writing to ntfs partitions os not supported by default as far as i remember [14:29] Lamego, I still feel wubi is worthless junk and I will never support it. [14:30] how to format my pendrive on ntfs file system [14:30] yes, ntfs works well [14:30] sant: format it for linux [14:30] i can write and remove other things on the disk [14:30] seamus_ie: I write to my portable ntfs formatted drive just fine [14:30] how to format [14:30] sant you want to do what exactly [14:30] sant: Use gparted, its in the repositories. [14:30] all i did was plug it in ;-) [14:30] Jack_Sparrow: you don't have to, just keep silent when someone asks about it rather than spreading misinformation. [14:31] ericus: hmm so idea so sorry [14:31] on ATI's site, they have 8.3 and I've seen 8.42, and I can see that 8.42 is a bigger number, this mean ATI hasn't updated their links? [14:31] i want to format my pendrive [14:31] evand, NOt misinformation.. and I asked for this to be dropped, yet you insist on bringing it up again. [14:31] anybody ever tried XP in qemu? [14:31] sant so you said--to do what with it? [14:31] sant: good for you, why you telling us? [14:31] sant, yo manage the partition on it, you will need to use fdisk or cfdisk [14:31] the device installation hangs [14:31] You know how you can name a disk in win, like C:/ (windows) [14:31] !gparted | sant [14:32] i wanna get rid of that [14:32] exit [14:32] I am not sure about ntfs, for the linux formats you have the mkfs.ext3 , etc [14:32] sant: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [14:32] !offtopic | Jack_Sparrow evand [14:32] Jack_Sparrow evand: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:32] while trying gparted format option is faded what to do [14:32] so should I use ati 8.3 or 8.42 [14:32] Jack_Sparrow: it absolutely is misinformation. Wubi is officially supported by the Ubuntu project. If you don't think this is appropriate for this channel, feel free to take this to a PM. [14:32] ericus: being able to label a disk in windows? [14:32] evand, It may be included in Hardy.. THere are lazy people that will op for that soultion.. [14:32] seamus_ie, sorry -- just returned -- ok - -looks good on the driver [14:32] Scunizi, its cold and grey - im ready for spring [14:32] evand okay enough with the ot please [14:32] What best programs for ghosting / backup / make copies off my UBUNTU OS to another hardrive and able to boot.? [14:32] i need to get tower work done [14:32] yes seamus_ie, i want to remove the label [14:32] W8TAH: cool, hope it works for ya [14:33] ericus: in windows? [14:33] evand, We have discussed this in the ops room more than once,. [14:33] in ubuntu [14:33] mysticalone: 8.3 is the latest driver came out March 5 2008 === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [14:33] W8TAH, kd6wqk here. in the 80's for the last couple of days ;) [14:33] Stewie^Rupert, Basic dd command works for many people [14:33] so what is 8.42 [14:33] Jack_Sparrow, is is not about lazyness, there maybe tecnhical concerns to use ntfs as a target installation, do not presume that you clearly understand all the desried scenarios for a Ubuntu install [14:34] ericus: ubuntu doesn't use windows drive labels, i think you need to rephrase you question [14:34] Hey everyone, is there a way for me to revert Ubuntu to like a fresh install without having to make myself an install disk and litterally reinstall the system? [14:34] invertedtwisted, no, [14:34] invertedtwisted: no not fully [14:34] Jack_Sparrow Is there a website for walk thought? [14:34] is there any way I can recover my Applications menu if I accidentally erased it with the menu editor? [14:34] seamus_ie: I Dont Know My TV Tuner Driver How Can I Find Out [14:34] Damn :P [14:35] Thanks anyway, guess I'll just have to re-d/l it [14:35] CJS3141, if they were installed by packages, you can reinstall the packages [14:35] Lamego, People that op for that type of installation need to be advised of the diferences between it and a real installation. [14:35] Jack_Sparrow does that backup and can be use as imaging to another hard drive ? and is it bootable? [14:35] invertedtwisted: good to have a livecd around at any rate [14:35] mysticalone: read this http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux64/radeonprevious-linux64.html [14:35] bazhang, I guess so. [14:36] !backup | Stewie^Rupert [14:36] Stewie^Rupert: There are many ways to back your system up.

[14:36] seamus_ie: not here and language [14:36] ubuntu-user: http://pastie.org/169684 [14:36] Stewie^Rupert, YEs it is bootable, to the point that hardware detection may require tweaking [14:36] !jfgi | seamus_ie [14:36] seamus_ie: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel.

[14:38] Sorry, no the keylock is not on. Login works great in the non-gnome terminals [14:38] Jack_Sparrow what are the steps to tweak the hardware detection? [14:38] Lamego, you should create the #Ubuntu-wubi room and we can send those interested to you [14:38] Jack_Sparrow: then identify a place to continue this discussion, because this needs to be resolved. You cannot continue to spread this misinformation to users. [14:38] #ubuntu-ops or offtopic [14:39] Google and the Ubuntu bug database finds me nothing [14:39] help me [14:39] Jack_Sparrow, I will ask politely that you do not keep presenting your personal oppining and providing it as a tecnhical answer to a user's question [14:39] how to format my pendrive [14:39] sant you need to read that link first [14:39] i have read nothing useful [14:40] sant, mkfs.ntfs-3g [14:40] sant you have read nothing in that link? best to read it first [14:40] Jack_Sparrow are there a website for tweaks for the hardware detection? [14:40] Hi, how can i change the user owning a partition so that i get full permissions ? [14:40] Lamego: best to let it drop. now. [14:40] sant: pendrive as in usb flash drive?

[14:41] Lamego: don't be silly, a journaling fs like ntfs on flash is a nono [14:41] in gnome? not fully sure, i think there's a keyboad layout item in on of the system preference menus [14:42] dropped [14:42] sant: Why do you want to format it?

This all looks like hardware trouble [15:20] james_n, that is a weird issue. not certain how you would debug that [15:20] I just did thanks. If I download a file from the web I see there are different types of linux files, what type do I need for Ubuntu and how do I install it then? [15:20] stefg: Kubuntu had NO trouble, so that makes no sense.

Almost makes my core 2 duo laptop completely unresponsive! [15:28] aspire: Since I use Subversion and not CVS I don't know about the capabilities of gcvs, other than it exists in the repositories [15:28] Vadi, it only uses it as needed, and often it is not.

[15:29] Odd-rationale, my timestamp still shows me in the lead lmao [15:29] Vadi: swap partitions are sometimes used as RAM, but totally unnescesarry, you can delete it with gparted if you want... [15:29] ricanelite: you have to go into the control panel for that [15:29] balle: no, I want to turn it on, not off! [15:29] yeah cheers [15:29] does not look like I will be able to upload to it, genii any suggestions as to how I could go about this would be fantastic [15:29] great [15:29] ok [15:29] do you know if a PS3 controller will work? [15:29] vadi: it doesnt have any function AFAIK [15:30] Jack_Sparrow: might just slow it down and see if that works first [15:30] ricanelite: and then you have to map what each key does it is very intuitive [15:30] ok [15:30] !swap [15:30] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster.

I constantly having to tell Ubuntu to use gThmb instead of EOG every time. And no, not by command line (I realise I can just type gthumb photo.jpg) - I am referring to within the GUI [15:42] Antiv-virus for Ubuntu 7.10 - [i know being linux it isn't really necessary for the most part] but which one is recommended to use? [15:42] erUSUL: Where should I place that command? [15:43] buttterz: No, i'm installing on an already partitioned disk. I wanted to use reiserfs for /boot and / but if i choose anything other than ext3 for the 2 the installer complains that it can't mount them and returns me to the partition setup. [15:43] cdc: You don't need an anti-virus for Linux computers. If you're running mail servers or public shares, you might need one that runs to check those to protect Windows computers. [15:43] jburd: before the exit 0 keyword on /etc/rc.local [15:43] anyone working on an xbmc app for iphone sdk? [15:43] bartmon , i'm not sure you can -- are you in a graphical installation? [15:44] erUSUL: I tried that. I'll do that again. One sec. [15:44] !virus [15:44] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [15:44] jburd - I know you don't but is there one out there because I cannot join my ubuntu computer to my work domain until it has one. [15:44] Gizmo_The_Great: I think something must be wrong with you ubuntu. [15:44] bartmon: this is because the kernel only has ext3 drivers compiled into it. [15:44] Why can't you join them? [15:44] @ cdc [15:44] cdc clamav in the repos; also avast has one for linux [15:44] daning, yes - that is what I thought initially but I thought I'd check here in case I was doing something daft [15:45] seamus_ie: Ah... But not even ext2 support which is a subset of ext3? :) [15:45] jburd, company policy, any computer on domain must have firewall/antivirus regardless of OS. [15:45] how can i share a hd via network ubuntu 7.10 [15:45] bazhang, thanks, will check them out. [15:45] cdc: Tell them that this OS doesn't have viruses? [15:45] cdc, such policy is not applicable to all Unixes === gullstad is now known as Gullstad [15:45] cdc, iptables count as firewall, you run a higher risk if you install an iptable manager aka firewall on top of it [15:46] jburd, the domain admins understand that but they are political and want to keep a standard. [15:46] bartmon: yup, you could compile a kernel with reiserfs support built in or just use ext3 for /boot and / and use reiserfs for /home [15:46] bartmon - ext3 and ext2 are seperate kernel modules - modprobe -l | grep ext [15:46] cdc: Tell them to find and install one for you. That will teach them. [15:46] Jack_Sparrow, is there a manual on how to manipulate your iptables. [15:46] cdc, only due to the users experience level, no slight intended to the applications firestarter or guarddog [15:46] cdc, from term man iptables [15:46] seamus_ie, danand: Thanks for the info. [15:46] Hi all . When i try to run a program I wrote in Anjuta (Im new to using this or Programming on Linux for that matter) I get the Error: Program '/home/biju/Desktop/test1' is not a local file . COuld anyone tell me what I am missing [15:47] Jack_Sparrow, thx [15:47] cdc, you will find clamav works great at scanning windows files [15:47] cdc, but those corp like policies are you sure you are alllowed to run a non standard OS ? [15:47] Filled-Void , thats odd! -- umm first of all what language [15:47] by [15:48] buttterz, C its a very basic program. it compiles fine no errors. but I have no clue on how tog et it to run within Anjuta :x Im on Ubuntu GG 64 bit if that helps. [15:48] hello everybody i have a silly question [15:48] cya Lamego [15:49] cya :) [15:49] Filled-Void you just use ./ [15:49] ;] [15:49] shoot ballin [15:49] Filled-Void, do you have a 32 bit system handy for testing [15:49] Jack_Sparrow, unfortunately no :( [15:49] Filled-Void , do you have a make file?? and i assume its a.out or something -- unless you specified otherwise [15:49] Jack i can compile frmo the terminal using gcc with no problem [15:49] i have ubuntu on a split partition with xp. last time i shut down ubuntu that partition was 100% full, i'm assuming it was because i was watching something on firefox, and firefox usually drains my hard drive, until i close it, when it cleans itself up, but instead of closing it i just shut down [15:49] now i can't get in, and i'm on the live cd. [15:49] buttterz, I have a test1.o file [15:49] Filled-Void , then whats the problem [15:50] Filled-Void thats compiled as a module [15:50] is it possible with the built in gui for remote desktop. to enable someone to connect, but not update locally, or even need be logged in [15:50] is there a way i can jump through the terminal on the live cd, to delete some stuff on the partition? [15:50] Filled-Void , compile it as an executable then run ./programname [15:50] buttterz, ASHouldnt it run when you go to Build > Execute Program ? [15:50] SHouldn't* [15:50] ballin, YOu can delete or move to a different partition /var/cache/apt/archives and try to reboot [15:50] ballin: mount the partition you want to modify [15:51] wow i got some compiz settings setup [15:51] wow it looks awesome [15:51] with the Magic Lamp minimize [15:51] hi, I need some help configuring my new server for raid 5 [15:51] just looks amazing [15:51] ricanelite: that is a little off topic for the server [15:51] ricanelite: nice ;] [15:51] Filled-Void , i mean i suppose i have never used anjuta -- i recommend c to be edited in gedit or vim [15:51] sorry [15:51] i just had to say that [15:51] Q. adding mod_python and a custom PythonHandler to my 7.10 box.. easy for a non-admin like me? error prone? danger stay away? opinions welcome [15:51] so var/cache/apt/archive is free to delete? [15:52] ricanelite: that's ok, but i think #ubuntuforums might be better for that. #ubuntu is more for technical help [15:52] Lamego, yes, I have approved a non standard os but application standards are still in place [15:52] ballin, yes [15:52] ballin, nice to keep if you can stick it on a usb or another partition. [15:52] thank you hardy [15:52] balle, use apt-get clean instead [15:52] is there anyone here that knows how to get java6 to work on ubuntu-sparc platform? [15:52] ballin, youcan sudo apt-get autoclean [15:52] buttterz,Yeah I was using gedit with terminal so far. I wanted to be able to try it out in Anjuta :) . Guess I'll go back to gedit + plugins [15:52] word yeah i think i'll do that [15:52] hardy, how would i go about doing that on the live cd. [15:52] just cd to that filesystem? [15:52] ballin, aptoncd is nice to keep them handy for a later reinstall [15:53] !aptoncd [15:53] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [15:53] erUSUL: It didn't work. [15:54] buttterz and Jack_Sparrow Thanks for help :D [15:54] erUSUL: Where else can I place it? [15:54] Filled-Void, np [15:55] i couldn't delete from the file system, lets see if i can delete through the terminal [15:55] jburd: you can try to edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the command to the specific net interface "stanza" as a post-up command (see man interfaces) that will ensure that the command is run once the iface is up [15:55] ballin: Try "sudo apt-get purge" first [15:56] erUSUL: Alright. [15:56] how would i do that since i'm on a live cd right now [15:56] Someone familiar with the Ubuntu (gutsy gibbon) wifi installation? [15:56] bartmon: how would i do that since i'm on a live cd right now [15:56] What is the command to read the manual on how to add a custom command on pre-login or post-login? [15:57] TWP-SirStaal: what card? [15:57] ballin: You need to delete the files on your haard drive install? [15:57] TWP-SirStaal: if you mean an application to access wifi, wicd is a good one (sudo apt-get install wicd) [15:57] Time for me to run to the Dr for another checkup.. Play nice [15:57] Jack_Sparrow: bye; [15:57] Hi all, I'm trying to raise resolution of Hardy in Virtualbox. (yes I installed the vbox drivers). Somehow I can't get better than 800x600 from gfx card. Anyone else has this prob? [15:57] One second will check it [15:57] yeah, i need to delete something off of my ubuntu partition so i can get back into ubuntu and start firefox which i'm assuming it would clean itself up and give me back 200mbs [15:58] cdc, !hardy [15:58] ops [15:58] Flanger: #ubuntu+1 please [15:58] !hardy [15:58] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [15:58] because that partition is 100% full, thanks to firefox, and i can't log in now, so now i'm on the live cd [15:58] ballin, you can login into the terminal, CTRL-ALT-F1 [15:58] This is my network card: BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [15:59] oops...

Then you can cd to your home directory: "cd /home/ballin/.mozilla" [15:59] ballin: have you tried to boot in recovery mode ?? if all you want is to delete some (unused files) id the fastest route [16:00] ballin: you should remove stuff from there because AFAIK that is where ff stores the cache [16:00] bartmon: in that secuence you forgot the actual mount command ;P [16:00] erUSUL: damn :p [16:01] Q. adding mod_python and a custom PythonHandler to my 7.10 box.. easy for a non-admin like me? error prone? danger stay away? opinions welcome [16:01] eg.. wrestling with the Apache2 controls in Ubuntu..

[16:06] I would add, the upgrade process works just fine *most of the times* [16:06] ricanelite: for me, ubuntu 8.04 alpha 6 was quite stable so the beta should be even more stable. if you are really impatient, i don't think an upgrade to the beta would be that bad. if you can wait a month, i'd advise you to wait [16:06] but i forgot how i installed ubuntu i know i partition my harddrive but forgot how i divided the drive [16:06] im waiting for a month [16:06] cause im not to great with linux [16:06] can someone help me fixing a sound-problem ?

I need to install things from the net repos to a hd install via the live disk [16:29] zedster, just chroot to your hd root [16:29] Odd-rationale, look at the Open Source Software Initiative website http://www.opensource.org/ [16:30] I did that [16:30] zedster: chroot /mount/point/of/hdd [16:30] open a terminal, mount the the disk, and chroot to it [16:30] erUSUL: ahh, you just click on emiFreq and you can choose all of the settings :) [16:30] hwilde: Thanks.

[16:30] The problem is I have a network connection in live but not in my hd boot [16:30] when I change root the hd boot acts like its not online [16:31] After Ctrl+Alt+F1 I can return to my X now only after pressing Ctrl+Alt+F8. In the past it used to be Ctrl+Alt+F7. Pressing now Ctrl+Alt+F7 displays a console with 4 lines of text starting with 'Reloading' and an active prompt. There are only 6 getty processes. What is the reason that the X windows system moved? Is it pm-utils and resuming from Hibernate? [16:32] hwilde: Those appear to feature fakeRAID, or raid using controllers, I just want plain old softraid.. [16:32] tvnz: In other words. I'm looking for propoganda like videos. ;) [16:33] Actually, the error pretty much tells you what to do, but says It's risky.

Can ubuntu span desktops with different resolutions? graphics card is aNVIDIA GeForce 7 Series [16:35] cant i make one computer server and other can connect to it and access internet ?

[16:37] zedster, most likely because of your resolv.conf [16:38] alo [16:38] zedster you can try to see if ifconfig shows the same config [16:38] i am installing hardy on ibook right now [16:38] Odd-rationale, http://youtube.com/watch?v=L1D6rqvkQdA maybe u will like this [16:38] Zeddie, you need to replace your resolv.conf with the one from your live cd, I guess the name servers obtained from the DHCP server [16:38] i am on livecd [16:38] erUSUL: "error: Network is unreachable" after "Starting basic networking" [16:38] ops, i meant zedster [16:38] Thanks, icf7, seems to have worked without lots of borking.

[16:39] but i can see with sudo fdisk -l [16:39] Sylphid: the former [16:39] anyone know why? [16:39] bazhang: ty [16:40] #ubuntu-server is their channel Sylphid ;] [16:40] Sylphid, the only optimizations are done at the kernel -server- package, there are no other customizations that could be specific to the install cd [16:40] anyone on powerpc? [16:40] I just downloaded the Ubuntu 7.10 desktop cd, and I cant get VMWare (server or player) to boot it, is there some trickI dont know about? [16:40] you actually can install any of the server packages on a desktop based install [16:40] Lamego: understood sry i didnt clarify [16:41] can anybody help ? [16:41] Drawing blanks here but kill 8966 [id of a process] is not killing the open application. Am I missing a command [16:41] Lamego: was just trying to determin if the server distro did have the kernel optomizations or not [16:42] pavi: you have a router between the two computers and the dsl modem? and they both are wired? or there more to this scenario?

[16:46] slushpupie: not sure how it runs on those systems; might ask in #debian, also check that it is a good burn or just run from the iso and save the cd cost [16:46] bazhang: I am just running from the iso [16:46] Hi there, I'm trying to print in Evince but I can't seem to add any printers.

(thought is was gksu update-manager -d) [16:47] icf7: rtorrent is the only one I know of [16:47] bazhang: this has nothing to do with debian, same behavior on other os's. md5 is good [16:47] icf7: bt[tab][tab] has plenty of options, check the curses versions. (btdownloadcurses and/or btlaunchmany, for more than one) [16:47] !upgrade | mon^rch [16:47] mon^rch: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [16:48] mon^rch: that's correct. Try putting update-manager -d in quotes [16:48] slushpupie: well vmware server works great with ubuntu as host; thus my suggestion about asking debian--you are free to do as you wish but I think I am not of much help as I dont run debian [16:51] mon^rch: you can also just edit your sources list feisty to gutsy for example then refresh and then dist-upgrade [16:51] Anyone use Screenlets?

[17:34] lastelement0: Just type "sudo aptitude install build-essential" from a command shell. [17:34] creeture:done [17:34] ** creeture: done [17:34] lastelement0: Try your make now. [17:35] lastelement0: the problem could be that you are making a playlist with 74 min of mp4s, but any music cd has to be encoded in a format that makes bigger files [17:35] * Creeture scratches head at propdude2000's comment. Uh, minutes is minutes in this case. [17:35] #ubuntu-hr [17:35] Nitramusa, boot into livecd, mkdir /mnt/root, mount /dev/xxx? /mnt/root, chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash, grub-install /dev/xxx [17:36] * wolfwalker_prime scratches his head too. 80 minutes has always worked regardless of format. [17:36] my wireless connection is locked at 1mb and will not autoadjust to 54 ... anyone have ideas ? [17:36] it makes no sense tho because i can do 74 min of mp3s in gnomebaker and its fine. but i have some files that are mp4 that i want on my cd and brasero is the only one that ive come across that recognizes them [17:36] nextstep, iwconfig eth1 rate 54M [17:36] can anyone tell me if a smb.conf is a smb.conf is an smb.conf, i've got one i've used before but for some reason I dont have write access now, I've set up the user n pass etc [17:36] nextstep: Get closer to the AP. [17:36] hwilde, i dont get it..where is /mnt/root? How do i specify that its /dev/sda3 because i have multiple partitions! [17:36] can i PM u? [17:36] hwilde: yea did that first .. no change [17:36] creeture: im 5ft from it [17:37] sbox: what do you mean by that? you need to use smb.conf to set up your shares [17:37] How do I turn off compiz, which is enabled by default in 7.10 gutsy? [17:37] nextstep, iwconfig eth1 commit [17:37] sbox: The smb.conf files are pretty well standard, but the versions of Samba underneath may be different, as could the group memberships and permissions on the filesystem. [17:37] how do I use F1 in gnome-terminal? if I press it I get the gnome-terminal manual, but I want the application running in the terminal to recieve the F1 [17:37] Creeture: Thanks, it seems to have installed now, though with several warning messages: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60880/ How do I now run this little app? Thanks. [17:37] sbox - your old smb.conf may not be compatible with newer versions of samba... :( [17:37] wolfwalker_prime: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects -> None [17:38] Creeture: good thinking, is it chmod x /cxydf/sdaf to make the share read writeable? [17:38] aoupi, ctrl+f1 or alt+f1, or shift+f1, one of them... [17:38] hwilde: operation not supported [17:38] Thanks [17:38] propdude2000 similar problem here, i typed in ./configure then make it say No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [17:38] any one in here useing an 8800GT? i cant seem to get any performance. I have tried both manual driver in stall from nVidia website and useing envy. They both detect the card and install the driver, but i cant get any type of game performance out of it. [17:38] Error for wireless request "Commit changes" (8B00) : [17:38] SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported. [17:38] Ak47, because there is no targets :-) [17:39] Ak47, did you read readme file? [17:39] sbox: x is executable. For directories, you probably want something like chmod 0775 dir and files 0664 file. [17:39] cabrioleur i went into the file directly [17:39] hello, i have a question. is there any way to make opne program to open certain file types ? i want my VLC Player open video as a default video player. is it possible ? [17:39] cabrioleur folder i meant [17:39] cabrioleur: no combination worked [17:39] LainIwakura: ./cursive should work. [17:40] Creeture: 0775 being read/write? [17:40] sbox - you also need to look in your smb.conf file to check shares have read/write permissions [17:40] sbox: 0775 is read/write/execute by owner, read/write/execute by group, read/execute by world. [17:40] nextstep, sometimes the wifi cards dont take the settings until a commit. try ifconfig eth1 down; ifconfig eth1 up [17:40] Ak47, ?? if you did ./configure and them make, that means your ./configure encountered problems and is not finished. [17:40] akaineko just right click on a file of that type and click properties, there will be a tab where you can choose [17:41] hey i installed ubuntu studio and now when the computer starts it runs in low graphics mode, any ideas whats up? [17:41] cabrioleur: solved it by disabling in "Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts" [17:42] aoupi, thanks for shearing the solution. [17:42] sbox: The chmod +xwr stuff is an additive change, meaning it adds write or execute permissions to the file/directory. The 0775 format is absolute, and sets the permissions to exactly what you specify, no matter what they were before. [17:42] Creeture: i shall give it a whirl [17:43] Hey, I've got a "Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller" and have just switched to the intel driver from the i810 driver so I can use this whole xrandr thing for dual head. I don't particularly need video acceleration but I do need a total resolution wider than 2048px (I want 2560px) so I commented out the modules 'GLcore', 'DRI' and 'glx' and put in "Virtual 2560 1024". However, now when Xorg starts, gnome starts loadin [17:43] g then suddenly my laptop panel turns a greenish black then a blackish black a few times (the external monitor does nothing), then I get put in low graphics mode. Is what I want possible with xrandr or would I be better off doing it the old (xinerama) way? [17:43] akaineko, right click, properties -> open with [17:43] Creeture: so chmod 0775 /xyz/xyz [17:43] Creeture: TYping in ./cursive just returns a blank line and nothing happens. What should I do now? Thanks. [17:43] sbox: Try 0755 first, see if it works. It's more restrictive. [17:43] gnr, install nvidia/ati drivers (whatever you have) [17:44] LainIwakura: How should I know? I have NO idea what cursive is. [17:44] Creeture: but command as above? [17:44] LainIwakura: You wanted to know how to run it. [17:44] sbox: Yep.

[17:46] gnr, open a terminal and type glxinfo (I assume you have nvidia), and one of the top results will be the driver. Make sure you are using nvidia modules, from nvidia corp.

[18:14] both are physically same - but have different sizes in parts etc for better quality [18:15] co0lingFir4, google it [18:15] co0lingFir4: man sprintf [18:15] BobSapp: Actually, that's a good idea - I think my soundcard is a bit weird, let me check [18:15] cabrioleur, the partition is 110.88 GB, 61GB used and I want to free 25GB for xp [18:15] unop__: but how the server B (which i am pointing at client side) will forward the traffic to A hosting cvsnt [18:15] so it simply cannot be :) your microphones have to be broken [18:15] orkun: That's what I thought. So I took it back to the shop and got a different one :p [18:15] Creeture: ^ [18:15] Creeture: fprint not printf [18:15] Hi i have a my computer dual booting vista and ubuntu on 1harddrive i want to remove vista completely how would i go about doing that? [18:16] Impy, use gparted to reformat the vista partition to ext3 :) [18:16] ra21vi, on server B -- issue this command ssh -L :serverA: user@serverA [18:16] orkun: (actually paid the difference for a webcam that came with a mic/headphones because I needed a webcam anyway and they didn't bother to check whether the microphone actually works) [18:16] okay cheers hwilde will look for that now :D [18:16] headphones have 3 connections L+,R+,-ve a MONO microphone has +ve -ve. Although, most sound ports can actually detect the kind of input they are getting these days. [18:16] cabrioleur, thanks, enabled drivers now, but i have no sound (this error occured when i first installed the laptop. and i cant rmember how i fixed it) its the laptop speakers dont work [18:16] I'm not sure if it'd make sense to use p2v [18:16] !gparted | Impy [18:16] Impy: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [18:16] Impy: i never had that experince, but you can delete / format that partition, then check the MBR or reinstall grub into it.. please google, or see others advice [18:16] gnr, run "sudo lspci" and find what card you have. [18:17] Impy, if you're already in ubuntu, just run sudo gparted then pick the ntfs partition, delete it, create an ext3 one there, and it will reformat. bam no more vista [18:17] any one in here useing an 8800GT? i cant seem to get any performance. I have tried both manual driver in stall from nVidia website and useing envy. They both detect the card and install the driver, but i cant get any type of game performance out of it. [18:17] also if i remember correctly, contacts are arranged on a stereo jack, such that if you plug it into a mono port, it would behave the same as a mic [18:17] BobSapp: I know have a mono headphone and microphone ( only one "headphone" , it came with the webcam ) [18:17] wireless works now cabrioleur [18:17] ra21vi, if you are asking how it is forwarded exactly -- ssh opens a listening socket and forwards traffic destined for that socket onto the remote socket [18:17] hi there [18:17] does anyone have problems running ubuntu live on fujitsu seimens laptops (amilo li 1705) everything is fine and then nothing at where the login is supposed to be [18:17] hwilde will that make it so ubuntu has all the drive then? :D [18:17] BobSapp: And the leads are the same so that sort of rules out a mono/stereo issue [18:17] dabbill, my 8600gts is blazing fast. did you try "sudo nvidia-settings" [18:17] so its down to the actual mic? [18:17] gnr, that's good. [18:17] Impy, you will have two partitions but yeah ubuntu will mount that other one [18:18] is there anyway to delete that partition so there's just one? [18:18] cabrioleur, sorry, but I can't find the grub boot options. Could you please tell me where to find em or what command should I use for the noacpi acpi=off option? [18:18] Impy, if you want you could try to delete the ntfs partition, and then just resize your existing ext3 to the whole drive [18:18] BobSapp: I don't know, I'm very confused. It's quite unlikely that both the mics I've bought don't work - sorry, I know I'm not being helpful but I'm totally at a loss myself [18:18] hwilde, seems every thing is setup correctly in there [18:18] Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [18:18] cab [18:18] Dhaun, /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:18] is there an apt-get gnome 2.22 for 7.10 yet [18:18] thank you :] [18:18] unop__: sorry , i am little messed into this [18:18] neutrinomass: you should try them out on something else that records, like a sound system [18:18] hwilde gparted can do all this yeah? i'll play around with it now :) [18:19] dabbill, I dunno but I run dual widescreens with my 8600gts and it's super high fps [18:19] pc soundcards are quite complex these days [18:19] BobSapp: The leads look the same but alsarecord picks up the headphones (when used as a microphone obviously) but doens't pick up the actual mic [18:19] Hello. How can I burn an *.img file to a DVD in terminal? [18:19] [Epiphany] I forgot how to add a preferred link entry in the 5th line (just below the address line). [18:19] Impy, gparted is your friend. just make sure you know which partition is which [18:19] k :) [18:19] Impy, sudo fdisk -l will help [18:19] Dhaun, when you are on the line with the boot option "Ubuntu something...." just start typing. [18:19] hwilde, i am getting like 15fps in games :( [18:19] can anyone tell me why am I getting this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6043/ [18:19] Impy - you should be able just to delete that partition and move/resize your GNU/linux partitions to take up the free space - Back up important data first though [18:19] i can't believe how bad vista is :/ [18:19] it's so slow :o [18:19] i|m looking for a programm which allows me to restore an accidental deleted partition-table [18:19] lol vista [18:19] for ubuntu [18:19] u235, Aha! I found what I needed. VMWare can boot from a physical partition :) [18:19] !windows | Impy [18:19] Impy: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows.

[18:20] lol [18:20] i was foolish to even try vista [18:20] never again =] [18:20] vista is a rip off of mac [18:20] zubwolf: if you remember the exact layout of the partitions, just setting up the partitions WITHOUT formatting would work [18:21] I have hey vista is a great operating systems [18:21] bennij: humans are a rip off monkeys [18:21] does gparted always take a while scanning devices? [18:21] i cant gain access to my cellphone, i have plugged it in as an USB key, but it will not auto detect, how do i maually detect it so i can transfer files to it? [18:21] gnr, you said this one works, right? What's the sound card? [18:21] whats your point bennij D: [18:21] Before windows vista, having 2gb of ram was VERY EXPENSIVE [18:21] now thats standard. [18:21] oops my bad, Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [18:21] BobSapp: i dont remember the whole partition table [18:21] Impy, gparted won't be able to resize the partition you're running on. use the livecd if you wnat to do that [18:21] BobSapp: Thanks for helping. Something dodgy is going on though ... :-/ [18:21] Hi, i have following problem: we i press alt+F2, i see only black screen. i checked with ps - tty1-6 are running. How can cope this? [18:22] yw [18:22] Hello. What am I doing wrong when `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` only lets me setup kbd settings but not video card? [18:22] how do i determine which fingerprint reader i'm using?

[18:22] Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causeing this "Locking assertion failure. Backtrace:" message in ubuntu? [18:23] balle, type in "dmesg" does it recognize the device? disconnect and reconnect and type dmesg again [18:23] hey. is it possible to create a shortcut to open a virtualbox virtualmachine directly? [18:23] hi all, I tried the Ubuntu hardy heron on my old system and i find my system slow.I then installed xubuntu-desktop. How can I remove the gnome-desktop ? [18:23] hi, I'm trying to install a pci wireless card, model is dwl-520m [18:24] sharadg, sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-desktop but I don't think you really want to do that! [18:24] cabrioleur, its quite a common error with that card, but i cant make sense of any of the help on forums etc. iirc i changed 2 lines in asla base and it worked? [18:24] hwilde: and i have reconnected a couple of times [18:24] I used ndiswrapper [18:24] hwilde, can you tell me some reasons ? [18:24] now I think that the correct driver has been installed [18:25] sharadg, it will probably uninstall a lot of other stuff, and if you select xubuntu then gnome is no longer running so you're only saving diskspace [18:25] ra21vi, (incase you didnt already get this) it's quite simple -- ssh -L 2401:serverA:2401 user@serverA -- the manual page has more if you are still unclear [18:25] i cant gain access to my cellphone, i have plugged it in as an USB key, but it will not auto detect, how do i maually detect it so i can transfer files to it? [18:25] can anyone tell me why am I getting this error when I'm trying to resize a partition with gparted? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6043/ [18:25] because ubuntu says so ferox@QU4K3:~$ sudo ndiswrapper -l [18:25] net5513 : driver installed [18:25] device (168C:0020) present [18:25] "" [18:25] danand_: ta dude for your helps [18:25] balle, fdisk -l to list the usb partition -- and "mount" to mount it [18:25] :D [18:25] done [18:26] but in network administration there is no wireless card [18:26] how can i determine the fingerprint reader im using??? [18:26] any idea? [18:26] cyka - np :D [18:26] hwilde, I am using most of the gnome -stuff like terminal etc , so internally does that load gnome [18:26] I mean gnome-terminal [18:26] unop_: sorry, but I read many tutorials, still unclear, like why I need user@serverA, since server A has no such ssh server running.. [18:26] unop_: does my phone run linux? [18:27] b33r - are you using the live cd to do this? [18:27] no [18:27] ra21vi, ok, well, to use an ssh tunnel -- you need an ssh server running on serverA [18:27] unop_: it's not there the smallest size is round 9 gigs, and my phone is only round 2 [18:27] unop_: and if user@serverA is the cvs username, then it is restricting to the single uiser [18:27] balle, i dunno what your phone runs .. [18:27] how do i change the font color in gnome panel? [18:27] [Epiphany] I forgot how to add a preferred link entry in the 5th line (just below the address line). [18:28] unop_: there is no way to use a ssh server as proxy [ i.e. B] inbetween server A and remote client C [18:28] b33r - you need to use the live cd :) - you can't move partitions that are mounted! [18:28] ?? [18:28] I have a xubuntu alternate cd . How can I install it in a running Hardy install ? My bios doesn't boot from it . [18:28] danand_, I unmounted it first [18:28] =/ [18:28] hi all [18:28] the xubuntu is 7.10 [18:28] ra21vi, user@serverA denotes user as a system user -- it has nothing to do with CVS whatsoever, infact you dont need to worry about accounts in CVS [18:28] can i add debian backports http://www.backports.org to ubunut?! [18:28] b33r - hmmm.. k [18:28] sharadg: try nolapic option for boot [18:28] =( [18:28] gnr, but what is you sound card again? and what laptop? [18:29] ra21vi, you can use SSH as a proxy -- but the destination host needs to run a SSH server so you can ssh into it [18:29] HellTiger probably a bad idea [18:29] unop_: i think somethign is unclear, I want secure connection between server B and client C [18:29] can someone help me? i am connected over an ethernet cable how can i share my connection between my computer and another over a modem line. [18:29] noodlesgc: why is that so [18:30] hi all [18:30] unop_: and the connection needed is between server A and client C [18:30] ra21vi, ssh does not do insecure connections === recon_etc is now known as recon [18:30] unop_: i just need to implememt linux ssh server, where A to B would be simple insecure while B to C would be encrypted [18:30] HellTiger because a system critical package could get replaced by one that does not work right with ubuntu [18:30] ok thanks [18:31] I'm trying to set up my Sierra Wireless 881U USB Modem to connect to AT&T Wireless internet using the guide at http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=1077. I tried running the patch, but it can't find the file to patch. [18:31] ra21vi, can you ssh from AtoB and BtoC ? [18:31] ra21vi, you are simple confusing yourself -- take it as it is from me -- run the command and you have what you need -- if you are still unhappy, please read the ssh manpage [18:31] b33r - :( not sure about that one... could try qtparted :) [18:31] has anyone upgraded to pidgin 2.4.0? i compiled it from source then removed the pidgin packed with ubuntu and now pidgin won't launch [18:31] unop_: sorry if my inability to understand the solution is making you crazy,.. :) i am sorry [18:31] danand_, what's that? :o [18:31] dell vostro 1400 - Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio cabrioleur [18:31] !java [18:31] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [18:32] Dopam3 just make uninstall then reinstall from the repository [18:32] Hey all i cant remember who helped me with nvidia stuff earlier but all worked out ok so just wanted to say you guys rock! :) [18:32] ee? [18:32] hwilde: let me explain the scenario.. [18:32] the repository isn't upgraded to 2.4.0 i dont think [18:32] ra21vi, oh I get it. can you ssh from AtoB and from BtoC ? [18:32] Has anyone install gnome 2.22 on 7.10 yet [18:32] the old one crashes on file trasnfers [18:32] b33r - another GUI partition editor... some would say its a little better that gparted. I've always been ok with GParted though... [18:33] Dopam3 do you absolutely have to have the new pidgin? [18:33] ra21vi, you need to understand what an ssh tunnel is and what it does -- it opens a listening socket on the localhost and forwards connections to that socket onto the destination socket -- no users, passwords, other settings are necessary on the localhost, the remote host takes care of that [18:33] !info qtparted | b33r [18:33] b33r: qtparted (source: qtparted): A parted frontend using QT.

[18:34] ok [18:34] hwilde: :( [18:34] sharadg, just try gnome [18:34] Hi, i have a strange problem with mldonkey in ubuntu 7.10. The init script is not running, but mlnet run for home user does work. [18:34] ra21vi, but A needs a ssh server as it is the destination for the tunnel in this case [18:34] ra21vi, but there are plenty of other ways... what do you really want to do (what is the problem) [18:34] hwilde, no such package [18:34] sharadg, why do you want to uninstall it anyways just leave it alone :) [18:35] gnr, try "options snd-hda-intel model=5stack" [18:35] ir1 i thought the network that mldonkey uses got sued [18:35] hwilde: actually there is a cvs server which needs to be open to internet so people/employee abroad can access that without configuring th VPN [18:35] my system is terribly slow. it doesn;t behave like a machine with 256 ram [18:35] is there a reason that with Ubuntu 7.10, libxine1 asks me for a dependency of libxine1 when I try to install libxine1? [18:35] Dhaun, how long do you wait? [18:35] noodlesgc: edonkey ? [18:35] why does brasero not burn audio cds even if my playlist is the proper length? [18:35] yes [18:35] cabrioleur, about 5 minutes [18:35] ra21vi, then you need a router and a firewall [18:35] sharadg: unop_ : and the cvsnt server on windows2000 is only supporting pserver [18:36] i did ./configure, make, and then sudo make install in pidgin, is there a special way i launch it now? [18:36] noodlesgc: well my mldonkey (custom install not packaged version) works fine [18:36] lastelement0 that happened to me once, so I use gnome-baker and k3b [18:36] noodlesgc: do either of them support mp4? [18:36] Dopam3, make install installs it as the running version [18:36] hwilde: and I have exposed a linux system running sshd on internet, just the ssh service to internet [18:36] lastelement0 i dont know [18:36] Dhaun, the only thing that's left is "noapic nolapic pnpbios=off" option. Do not restart as long as hd light is flashing. It might be doing fsck after hard reset. [18:36] of course, I don't have DSL at the house, so I download each package [18:36] Dhaun, you will not see the boot splash. [18:36] anyone know where I can find mupen64 [18:37] hwilde: now I was wondering if people abroad can access the Intranet sites and cvs server using ssh tunneling for secure connections [18:37] Melch, on their website. [18:37] when i launch it it says starting pidgin interface in tray, then after a few seconds nothing happens [18:37] the website is down [18:37] ra21vi, yes. [18:37] ra21vi, which server is the one on the internet, A B or C [18:37] ffs.. compiz stopped working for no reason -.- [18:37] nathan__, any errors?

[18:38] cabrioleur, nope I just restarted X to get rid of pesky AWN and it wouldn't let me enable it [18:38] ra21vi, ok then can B ssh to A [18:38] What could be the reason for my monitor not displaying some colors? Actually, I noticed this when I was using my Gmail account. In Gmail's interface, messages that are already read appear with a slightly blue background, but here they would appear with just a white background.

[18:39] ra21vi, i keep telling you- -- if you A needs an SSH server of its own [18:39] oula... [18:40] ra21vi, then you could on server B, port forward to server A, then outside clients just hit the forwarded port on server B [18:40] s/if you// [18:40] !splash | BrianG [18:40] BrianG: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.

[18:40] erUSUL, didn't know it was for older computers.... which would be fastest for 32 bit x86? [18:40] Flark: generic [18:40] un0p: hwilde : oh, lol, I was just thinking for the solution to enroute the traffic A<--->B<-->C where B and c forms tunnl [18:40] When i did sudo nvidia-settings i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60888/ [18:40] !generic | Flark [18:40] Flark: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [18:40] erUSUL: i know but i am looking for the default path to the Hardy splash screen.. my splash_image key is blank and shows the default gnome one [18:41] nathan__, yes "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz" [18:41] k. well I am still wanting to figure this problem out for future reference. [18:41] ra21vi, like I said that would require a router and a firewall, not ssh port forwarding [18:41] |hardy > BrianG [18:41] !hardy > BrianG [18:41] hwilde: yes, thats implemented [18:41] erUSUL: i know but i am looking for the default path to the ubuntu splash screen.. my splash_image key is blank and shows the default gnome one === jonathan__ is now known as raiderxx [18:41] noodlescgc, sorry, i didnt realise i am ir1 [18:41] ra21vi, so then on the router, just catch incoming traffic on port xxxx and send ti to the cvs port on server A [18:42] it gots sued, ok, but thats not the problem, the init script worked before [18:42] cabrioleur, Xgl isn't present [18:42] hwilde: but since :pserver: on cvs sends cleartext passwords, how can i secure it, though implemented router and firewall fr it [18:42] there's something specific to the kernel about my sound driver that I have not been able to find. [18:42] cabrioleur, nvm I don't need xgl. But it returns /usr/bin/compiz: 378: /usr/local/bin/compiz: not found [18:42] Does anyone know why my scroll wheel isnt working on ubuntu? It works fine on XP, and it's bluetooth if that will help. [18:42] ra21vi, oh that's not good [18:43] hwilde: that port forwarding is not issue, just to secure the connection is the issue [18:43] ra21vi, if clients connect to serverB via SSH and serverB connects to serverA via ssh -- there is no worry about cleartext passwords because all communication is secure [18:43] I would really like to know why it works with generic kernel and not with 386... I need to install something else for the 386 kernel that I haven't seen yet [18:43] nathan__, do you have nvidia? [18:43] so i know that mlnet works because i can start with my home user. However, when I init the init.d script, i get mlnet working for a few seconds, then says bye without any error message [18:43] I am a new ubuntu user, and I just want to say, this is amazing!

It started working quite easily I just got envy and installed the drivers and poof it worked. But I restarted X and it stopped working out of the blue [18:44] ra21vi, if external clients ssh to server B that link will be secure, from there they would have to connect to cvs and the cleartext would only be local on the intranet [18:44] nathan__, check what driver you are using right now with command "fglxinfo" [18:44] maybe. [18:44] ra21vi, you can also use iptables and masquerading on serverB to have ports forwarded on to serverA -- which i suppose you need, it's probably simpler for you to understand and implement [18:44] hwilde: you got it, that is what i want, i doent fear cleartext over Intranet [18:44] nathan__, it really looks like you are not using fglrx [18:45] I'm trying to set up my Sierra Wireless 881U USB Modem to connect to AT&T Wireless internet using the guide at http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=1077.

[18:53] it keeps sayign hdc tray open, and then the i/o error [18:53] hello everyone [18:54] Jaffarkelshac, what graphic card? ATI?

In Gmail's interface, messages that are already read appear with a slightly blue background, but here they would appear with just a white background. [18:54] cabrioleur, this is a laptop.... and probably because of anacron, updatedb starts at the first minute after boot [18:54] not sure [18:54] but i don't think [18:54] didn't seem to work cabrioleur [18:55] gnr, what you get when you do alsamixer?

Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [19:19] that works rym but i cant reply, im not regestered [19:19] mw-smith-noobie, is this a regular installation to the hard drive.. [19:19] guest, well, thats rude -- i really sorry about this.. [19:20] just join #gran rym [19:20] good night all [19:20] standard installation. I've already used gparted to re-partitioe disk (dual boot is the plan.) [19:20] hey guys i just got a acer aspire 4315 running on ubuntu 7.10 and it has really slowed down since i got it a week ago, ie longer times for grub to load ubuntu it also takes ages to get everything started once i log in can i spd this up? n what would cause it to slow down? thanks [19:20] What's the name of the regulatory body that develops html standards? [19:20] W3C [19:20] cabrioleur my laptop can see my pc but my pc cannot see my laptop , so on pc I re-installed samba but noth happened , still have the problem [19:20] !ot | Mark_G [19:20] Mark_G: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:20] thisdyu have you installed alot more programs? [19:20] The installer partitioner doesn't like to work for me either. It crashes. [19:21] It is an HP laptop dv6700z [19:21] amerio: Wireless? [19:21] Thanks Emilian.. [19:21] mw-smith-noobie, so you got it to install to the hard drive, you just need to fiddle with it from cli as in startx ? [19:21] Flarel83 PC wired , laptop wireless [19:21] noodlesgc: not really a few stantard things [19:21] Nope, ca't get it to install. . . . [19:21] looks like gnome 2.22 is not in the backports [19:21] mw-smith-noobie: try the alternative cd [19:21] mw-smith-noobie, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [19:21] amerio: that's the problem [19:22] When I'm booting the live CD, the script hangs (I've deleted quiet and added no splash) at the bluetooth startup. I hit enter and then type startx [19:22] amerio: you must use ip addresses in order for it to work that way [19:22] thisdyu thats odd, is it an extremely long amount of time or just a little longer than usual [19:22] Flarel83 how 2 do that? [19:22] amerio: [19:22] oops [19:22] what is the best command line audio player? [19:22] OK, I can start it with napic and acpi-off. Will that work the inestall issue (hanging at usb-storage)? [19:22] amerio: are you using the File Manager to find the other computer? [19:23] I want to move my ubuntu installation from a partition at the end of my hdd to the one at the beginning--is it safe to do this with something like cp -a? Will it keep my installation intact and useable? or will stuff be broken? [19:23] mw-smith-noobie, the blutooth startup ? or the start or install menu that first comes up [19:23] Flarel83: both file manager and smb://... [19:23] mintsoup, It will break it.. just not badly.. see uuid and fstab info [19:23] noodlesgc: not extreme but enough to disappoint windows2000 even boots up faster then this; and its had to do drive diagnostics on several startups [19:23] amerio: ok on the file manager where is says "smb://" there should be a edit button find it and click it [19:24] how can i share a folder with samba using a command line command? [19:24] Sorry, I haven't been to clear. The first issue is that the startup script (before X starts) hangs at the starting bluetooth devices step. I'll try noapic and acpi=off to fix that. Will that also installer continue through the detecting hardware step once I get x loaded and begin the installation? [19:24] thisdyu, remove splash from boot grub.. [19:24] Is there a release date set for hardy?

[19:25] slaytanic: goto www.ubuntu.com and see for yourself [19:25] slaytanic 31 days, check ubuntu.com for the countdown [19:25] exactly [19:25] is it recommended to update right away when a new vers gets released [19:25] hello everyone, I am having a little problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/6064 can you help [19:25] Great. Thanks. [19:25] i figure this isnt like windows vista [19:25] 'let the masses test it ' [19:25] Flarel83 ok now my pc can see my laptop :D but asking for a password and im typing a wrong one , how to set up a new password ? [19:25] !enter | rym [19:25] rym: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:26] any one know how to fix? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60888 [19:26] Jaffarkelshac, Please supply a basic description of the problem when posting a link. [19:26] rym, i wait a while because the servers get overloaded [19:26] mhm [19:26] rym, If you really want to be safe I'd wait a month or so before upgrading [19:26] amerio, Do you have a user name and account (both the same ) on both machines [19:26] Jack_Sparrow what do you recommend for the hanging installation? I appreciate the help . . . [19:26] ahkey [19:27] cant install ubunt 7.10 on my laptop i get no login screen its just black [19:27] Jack_Sparrow yup I guess so [19:27] and upgrading is without loss of settings? [19:27] mw-smith-noobie, do you get to the start or install screen? [19:27] amerio: umm.... let me think [19:27] (i doubt data gets lost at all when updating) [19:27] will an ISA sound card work in 8.04? [19:27] mw-smith-noobie, did you remove all external drives/peripherals? [19:27] bluefoxx: ask in #ubuntu+1 [19:27] mw-smith-noobie, I have seen installs hang when a mouse was plugged in. [19:27] mw-smith-noobie, also, when ipod's are plugged in. [19:28] bluefoxx, Not sure, but isa anything is on life support [19:28] !english > Haegin [19:28] hello everyone, I am having a little problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/6046 can you help i get black screen where login should be [19:28] rym, Data loss isn't supposed to happen ;) [19:28] haha [19:28] J_S: don't know what you're asking, exactly. I've been starting X manually to get to the live cd. Then I can run the installer, where it hangs at the usb-storage step of the "detecting hardware" screen. Does that make sense? [19:28] allrighty then :p [19:28] Flarel83 I've tried to set a new password in LAPTOP for the user of the PC but I get error something like failed to modify password for entry for user amer [19:28] i remember when i reinstalled windows without actually formatting i had the feeling i did a dirty install [19:29] program files still lying around [19:29] nothing worked, etc. [19:29] mw-smith-noobie, No.. it doesnt .. what cd are you using [19:29] 7.10 live CD. I tried the alternate CD but that didn't work for other reasons that I don't understand (another discussion, perhaps). I tried the 64-bit package and just got the same result with the 32-bit package. All have good md5s. [19:30] Jaffarkelshac, edit the grub config and pass it the nosplash option, it's a known issue [19:30] how can i download the compiz compizconfig-settings-manager [19:30] i have no idea how to do that [19:31] i get this error when trying ubuntu live so where do i edit the config [19:31] pimplife sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [19:31] mw-smith-noobie, USe the 32 bit livecd, it should come up to menu, start or install. that is where you would hit F6 [19:31] noodlesgc: yea but my wireless doesnt work [19:32] pimplife so your ubuntu machine has no internet? [19:32] OK, I do that and remove quiet and change splash to nosplash. That gets me to the first hang--starting bluetooth devices. I hit enter and at the command prompt I type startx to get to the desktop. [19:32] noodlesgc: nope [19:32] &wc === modoc__ is now known as modoc [19:32] pimplife ok go to packages.ubuntu.com and get the file from there [19:32] noodlesgc: thanks [19:33] amerio: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-samba-configuring.html [19:33] Jaffarkelshac> when the cd boots to the install screen you press f6, from there you can edit the long string, you'll find "splash" at the end, change it to "nosplash" [19:33] [Epiphany] I forgot how to add a preferred link entry in the 5th line (just below the address line). [19:33] mw-smith-noobie, what about pulling your bluetooth stuff.. is it supported hardware.. did you check our hardware page etc ?

It goes through the whole deal (partitioning and mount points) then starts installing the OS butgets to "90% detecting hardware) it says "loading usb-storage for USB storage" and just hangs. WTF? Any ideas? [19:38] how i can do to have a screensaver of vista ? with the bubles [19:38] !avahi [19:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about avahi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:39] Question: does anyone have an idea as to why certain web pages will NOT begin to load in linux, but will in windows?

You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [19:39] anthony, I've tried OOo, pretty much a bust, can't even get it to print within the margins of the envelope [19:39] a28 do you have noscript installed on one and not the other? [19:39] i can't even wget a png file from this webserver in linux, but i can in windows [19:39] Mark_G, same plugin setup even [19:39] Geoffrey2, glabels works well and will even do data merges [19:39] pleaze help me ! :( [19:40] a28: Only certain pages though? [19:40] a28 what's the site [19:40] or pages [19:40] hi [19:40] Hey everyone, I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy fresh off of an install yesterday, I'm already having a problem [19:40] i need the screensaver of vista with the bubles how i can to put this [19:40] Jack_Sparrow, you still out there? [19:40] hmm, I was trying to install a debian package of limewire pro, and then the package installer crashed.. now the package installer is just sitting there all greyed out like, what do I do? [19:40] anthony, yes and all part of Ohio State University servers [19:40] My friend and I want to transfer a file, so I set up an ftp server, sudo apt-install ftpd [19:40] anthony, Mark_G http://www.ureg.ohio-state.edu/ourweb/more/Content/Important_dates/SP08_Important_dates.htm there is one that wont work right now [19:41] Once installed I do : sudo adduser ahs3 [19:41] Then, he says he wants to use OpenSSH [19:41] a28: are you quite sure the problem is on _your_ end? [19:41] So, I typed sudo userdel ahs3 [19:41] anthony, Mark_G http://fod.osu.edu/2008/library_path_alternate.png there is the PNG just to make it simpler [19:41] and it says: user ahs3 does not exist [19:41] anybody feel like helping me get my hp laptop to play nice with Gutsy? I'd hate to be forced to use Vista (feelings of inadequacy threaten me). [19:42] a28, yep won't load here either.. just spins [19:42] anthony, no but i dont know how to continue diagnosing [19:42] a28: It doesn't load for me either, not on Ubuntu right now. Not your problem. [19:42] so I type ls /home and hi name is there still.. [19:42] I need help deleting user ahs3 from /home [19:42] a28: call up the admin and tell them it's down... [19:42] anthony: what OS? it will load for me on this exact same machine if i boot in windows [19:42] does anybody here know some program aplication to make automatically files backup ? [19:42] a28: Mac 10.5 [19:42] Titanium2204 you cannot use windows screensavers, especially ones created by microsoft, though there are similar ones [19:42] is there a blog applet that supports uploading of images ? [19:42] anthony: the admin will say "what OS are you using? sorry we dont support that" [19:42] how do i stop gnome display manage [19:43] a28: You never answer that question. [19:43] ... [19:43] anthony: hehehe [19:43] .... [19:43] anthony: im just stumped as to what could possibly be making the difference, when i cant even wget the stupid png [19:43] Hi i need put firestarter on startup i add permission on /etc/sudoers when i type sudo /usr/sbin/firestarter it running with no password but when i put on seasons on starup it not working, thanks [19:43] a28: Most likely you have the DNS information cached in Windows b/c you've visited the site before, and don't have it cached in Ubuntu, and the DNS servers are down/incorrect right now. If you flush the DNS info in XP, it will probably fail there too. [19:44] Can i Find the equivalent ? [19:44] I have following problem: I installed ubuntu following the instructions of the fakeraidhowto. Now I wanted to install some packages ending up with an error message which says "please insert disk... in >>/cdrom/<< [19:44] hi aLL what's the BEST CHAT program on ubuntu for someone who has tons of aim contacts and a few different aim logins?? [19:44] anthony: it has never worked in linux though, and i rebooted into windows and it worked the very first time i encountered this. also it has never hung in windows [19:44] Lizardo: System>Admin>Software sources disable the cdrom [19:45] crackhead100, pidgin. It's already installed [19:45] anthony: i tried using the useragent thing in firefox but to no avail figured that might be it [19:45] oh lol I must be blind -_- [19:45] mmh how do I know current version of my graphic card driver? [19:45] I suppose that the deafening silence should be a hint . . . Anybody feel like offering me a bit of advice? [19:45] What is GRUB vs. GRUB2? I'm on gutsy, so which one am I using as a boot manager? [19:45] Titanium2204 yes it is called bubble3d it is in the xscreensaver-gl package [19:46] Flarel83 I Tried the guide but it didnt work :S [19:46] a28: eh, just call 'em up and say it's broken in everything. If it doesn't load for your Ubuntu or anyone else here, it's clearly a problem on their end regardless of what the problem is. Someone is being paid for this - make them do it. [19:46] how do I update a program from source? [19:46] Why doesn't it work with my CD? [19:46] but i haven't the screen invisible [19:46] amerio: ok I'm sorry but I don't have no idea on way to do then [19:46] CJS3141: I don't think grub2 is released for production yet... anyway, you can check with 'apt-cache policy grub' if you like. [19:46] anthony: hehe well if it doesnt work in macOS then i can always lie and say im using that, if they press me [19:47] a28: sure thing [19:47] I have installed sometihng by compiling it, then doing "make install"; can anyone tell me how to uninstall that? [19:47] Flarel83 what does it mean when it gives you fail to mount windows share? [19:47] thx erUSUL but why doesn't it work with my CD? [19:47] the invisible or transparency screen [19:47] Titanium2204 yes it is slightly different, the bubbles are drawn on a black background [19:47] anthony: Thanks! Any idea when grub2 is supposed to arrive? [19:47] Lizardo: dunno; is the desktop CD ? [19:48] CJS3141: not a clue [19:48] why the hell does netselect-apt find me the fastest Debian mirror?! [19:48] it's to bad :( i will like to see my desktop [19:48] amerio: it means that you can't mount the shared folder that windows is sharing (this most of the time means that Windows isn't letting you share the folder because you are using a linux computer) [if this is the case, that is] [19:48] hwilde: r u there [19:48] anthony: No problem--thanks for the great tip to check my grub version. [19:48] erUSUL: yes its the desktop CD [19:48] ra21vi, more or less [19:48] ive noticed a lot of the font colors in firefox2 are really light and hard to read -- this isnt the case under windows on the same machine ideas on how to fix this? [19:48] it's impossible to do ? :( it's very bad because window 98 can do that [19:48] Flarel83 but both computers are Ubuntus , none of them is windows :S [19:49] Titanium2204 i think it is possible, by having it draw on a screenshot, im googling it right now [19:49] Lizardo: that does not work as deb repositorie afaik [19:49] i got a question about apache2 but im on hardy do i ask that in here or #ubuntu+1? [19:49] erUSUL: I followed the instructions of the fakeraidhowto may this be the problem? [19:49] amerio: then that means that you have the same problem that I do. I haven't found the answer to it eitheer [19:49] hwilde: lol, well I found the solution, just have to $ssh -N -p 22 sshusername@sshserver -L 2401/cvs-server-addr/2401 [19:49] i haven't find to google ^^ if you find a new call me plz ! [19:49] Itaku: either #ubuntu+1 or #apache, depending on the question. [19:49] Lizardo: do not think so [19:49] Itaku: yes [19:50] unop_: you were right in solution [19:50] Flarel83 any other ways for filesharing than samba? [19:50] well i want to make apache go to index.php instead of index.html when i go to http://127.0.0.1 how do i do that? [19:50] amerio: I don't know === Mark_G is now known as Scunizi [19:50] Flarek83 ok thank you buddy [19:50] amerio: sorry I couldn't help more [19:50] Itaku: i think in apache config see fr the DocumentIndex something [19:50] Itaku: that would best fit in #apache (software-specific rather than OS-specific) [19:50] hey there - should one include or exclude /dev in one's backup? there are sources that tell me i should, otherwise many errors - other sources tell me i should not, otherwise many errors. i can understand both - what should i do? [19:50] erUSUL: ok thx... can you help me with an other problem? My terminal doesn't auto-complete when I press TAB... how can I fix this?(sry I'm new to linux) [19:51] noodlesgc can you speak me in private plz [19:51] thanks [19:51] Titanium2204 ok [19:51] ra21vi, so your cvs server DOES have an ssh server [19:51] hwilde: no [19:52] ok i take that back --- a lot of the lighter colored fonts in X are so light they cant be read like light greys and such [19:52] ra21vi: wheres the config file? [19:52] Itaku: first google it, and look into /etc/apache2/sites-available/ [19:53] Itaku: there you can specify that [19:53] help: i made a mistake and did command --> chgrp -hR users /. and now i get su: authentication failure ! [19:53] Lizardo: does not autocomplete anything=? [19:53] erUSUL: When I press tab it just inserts big gap like in windows OS [19:54] hello!

[20:07] Xtahc, Live session .. it all runs in ran and does not touch your hard drive. [20:07] how do i change the number of a files permission? [20:07] ram [20:07] I'm wondering, should I install the package 'mono-apache-server' or 'mono-apache-server2'? [20:07] like 0777 [20:07] Itaku chmod it [20:07] how? [20:07] Itaku: With chmod(1) [20:07] how do I open file with .exe in ubuntu? [20:08] Nasra: sudo apt-get install wine [20:08] Nasra: with wine [20:08] e.g. # chmod 755 mydir [20:08] Nasra: then double click the file [20:08] ok [20:08] thanks alot [20:08] Itaku, It generally isnt needed.. Please explain your problem so we can help avoid creating a problem [20:08] but never 777. 777 is for international aviation, not permissions [20:08] hi, i have some python error telling me some module doesn't exist, although it seems to be installed... pycentral reports the package is installed, and I can see the appropriate .py for the module, so what is my issue? [20:08] Jack_Sparrow: ? [20:08] hi, onone on #grub is on his keyboard i see, can someone help me with manually booting grub??? [20:09] no one* [20:09] Nitramusa: manually? [20:09] Nitramusa: what're you trying to do? [20:09] yes.. like when u type 'c' [20:09] i dont have entries for my OS's [20:09] Itaku, what are you trying to install.. there might be another package that will work better. [20:09] and i need to boot my linux [20:09] for editing menu.lst [20:09] Itaku, People wanting to set root password or wanting to change permissions indicates they are doing something that may not be in their best interest [20:09] Nitramusa: fortunately grub has tab-completion [20:10] yep i know [20:10] a friend explained..but he had to go [20:10] his last words were: ask explication on booting grub manually [20:10] Nitramusa, sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:10] Nitramusa: you need three lines, a 'root' line, a 'kernel' line, and an 'initrd' line... have you figured out how to edit an entry? [20:10] Hey. I'm migrating Firefox and Thunderbird from Windows. Can I just copy the profile folders over and expect everything to just work? [20:11] Nitramusa: maybe it is easier to boot from a livecd and edit the file from there... [20:11] bartmon, probably.. as long as you don't miss something.. they are the same programs [20:11] erUSUL, are u sure i wont have any issues with mounting the HD or something? [20:11] how do I create the icon that switch between languages? [20:11] Nitramusa: how many disks do you have? [20:12] 1 disk [20:12] no [20:12] Nitramusa: you should be able to mount it fine from the live cd if you want to do that [20:12] 2 disks [20:12] Scunizi: I'm guessing so as well. I'm just a bit concerned about the end-of-line terminating character in plain-text config files. [20:12] and 6 partitions [20:12] Whoa... What's going on here... Are there for real only three people in the room? [20:12] Nitramusa: if you are at a boot promt to boot a linux you need to set initrd ()path/to/initrd and kernel ()path/to/kernel root=/dev/whatever and finally cross fingers and run boot [20:12] yeah ok [20:12] Nitramusa: hmm.. well in that case you have to guess which disk and partition you think linux is installed on (not impossible, but might take some guesswork) [20:12] Ha :) Better [20:12] Nitramusa: no no issues mounting ext3 partitions [20:12] i know wich disk [20:12] its on /dev/sda3 [20:13] bartmon, copy them across and give it a whirl.. you won't hurt anything.. [20:13] can i just install themes in ubuntu and they'll just work [20:13] but nvm im just booting the ubuntu LiveCD, it will work without any probs eh? [20:13] Nitramusa: findroot grub command will tell where the files are [20:13] Nitramusa: oh ah... so try root (hd0,2) [20:13] #ubuntu-fr [20:13] i gave up on that..im booting the LiveCD ;) [20:13] Nitramusa: the livecd should work fine, and you ought to be able to update grub in there [20:13] it will work? [20:13] join #ubuntu-fr [20:13] can i just install themes in ubuntu and they'll just work [20:13] ok graft [20:14] okay... [20:14] Titanium2204, /join #ubuntu-fr [20:14] yes ^^ [20:14] Nitramusa: although it's worth learning how to use grub some time when you have a spare hour - it's not that hard and it can save your butt in a crisis [20:14] I also have a question concerning disks and mounting... How does Ubuntu decide what it will mount automatically at boot time? If I boot into Windows, I see three 'hard drives' (one is in fact only a smaller partition on hard drive 2). When I boot into Ubuntu, it only auto-mounts the first two drives as 'volumes'. How do I get it to mount the last one as a volume as well? [20:14] i miss the touche [20:14] partition 0 on hard disc 1 is (hd0,0) or (hd0,1) ? [20:14] pimplife, not all themes will work all the time on every system [20:14] On the terminal how do I run a multi-command on one single line? [20:15] Nitramusa: (hd1,0), if hard disk 1 is the second disk [20:15] ok graft, i will take my time to learn it tomorrow or something, but i need this done asap :) [20:15] Flare183: separate commands with ; ?? [20:15] !fstab | Draggin [20:15] Draggin: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [20:15] Any suggestions as to why the installer keeps hanging at "prepare partitions" after I click Forward? [20:15] Jack_Sparrow: how do i know which ones will [20:15] Thanks stefg :) [20:15] yeah but i mean abour partitions graft , how is first disc and first partition in grub? (hd0,0)? [20:16] what i must do to identify me to server ? [20:16] Nitramusa: the first partition on the first disk is (hd0,0) [20:16] Draggin: these are the basics. Be aware that ubuntu has some automounting features, which don't rely on /etc/fstab. before you touch /etc/fstab, rather check back here [20:16] pimplife, Only way I know of is by trying them or reading the feedback from other users on gnome-look etc.. [20:16] thx graft :) [20:16] Nitramusa: but grub and the kernel don't NECESSARILY order disks the same way, so it might not be the same in both places [20:16] this is a basic question but how do [20:16] Jack_Sparrow: thanx [20:17] ok graft [20:17] Itaku...how do i configure wine ...it looks like in windass ..what is procedure please.... [20:17] I just tried installing freemind which failed due to missing java dependecies, anyone know where I can get these or if theirs an apt-get for the whole works [20:17] what is the ubuntu beta channel again?

[20:18] jordan_: exactly [20:18] xb3rt, what depends is it asking for? [20:19] Scunizi: Thunderbird worked as described.

[20:44] azexian: just the same [20:44] azexian: now i see a text version of the boot up. as in it shows me what is loading [20:44] My alt-tab is messed up. It just shows the frames of the windows with nothing inside them [20:44] how do I create the icon on the taskbar that switches between languages? [20:44] can I have two separate gnome sessions? [20:45] that I can choose from at login? [20:45] lastelement0: that's the idea, now you can see anything that is failing to load, and hanging, 2 mins is quite slow, although I never did ask the speed of your machine =) [20:45] azexian: thats not the issue. my machine loads fine [20:45] Reery: that is odd, when you get to the shell, can you run /etc/init.d/gdm start for me, so we can see what the issue is [20:45] its more that i don't see the ubuntu progress bar [20:45] Reery: that will try and open command [20:46] is there an ubuntu GUI channel? [20:46] lastelement0: oh, my appologies, I mis read that, in that case, you will want to keep that splash line, have you changed your theme? [20:46] anyone know anything about proftp? [20:46] azexian: when i try to start gdm it says "read only system". the .Xauthority is blocked or so [20:46] azexian: yes i have [20:47] Lizardo, I guess logging out and back in again can't hurt ( possibly gnome-terminal is inheriting the default shell from gnome's environment? ) [20:47] Reery: ah, that explains a lot, your harddrive has errors then, so it has mounted read only, we can repair them however, but the wifi card has nothing to do with this, you have damaged your hdd I'm afraid [20:47] Acoustyk, You can ( I don't know how off the top of my head though ) [20:47] !pastebin [20:47] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

Can I change the language for Gnome on a per user basis? [20:48] lastelement0: actually, it might not be splashy anymore [20:48] jordan_U: Any idea where to look?

I want to download pack of the more popular themes, icon packs and backgrounds, instead of going hunting for everything online, I would even appreciate a utility that would rotate the themes every month or so. So I don't get bored. Or maybe just rotate the backgrounds.

[20:50] where can i change the font for ubuntu's default theme -- light colored fonts are near impossible to read [20:50] ??? [20:50] Reery: that doesn't sound great, restart, so it can mouse ro, then you can repair the disk [20:50] Acoustyk, Probably not the cleanest or easiest way to do it but you could model something off of the old XGL separate session tutorials ( which are now thankfully all but obsolete :) [20:50] I've got alien arena 08 installed and it shows under my games menu, but the minute I click the icon to launch it my system reboots.....why is this [20:50] he poiZen, auch hier? [20:50] there really is no problem I just want to be able to choose from two gnome sessions at login [20:50] azexian: i tried also fsck, it found some errors, but still the same issues [20:50] lastelement0: did you run a command to change your theme? [20:50] Jordan_U: i tried those, but still went blank after certain interval [20:50] <_Tux_> tcpdumpgod : installing from synaptic,gonna give it a try. 10x [20:50] azexian: dont really remember to be honest [20:50] Where can I change the font for the default ubuntu X theme?? [20:50] Acoustyk, why can you not? Just run each X server on a different screen. [20:51] a lot of the lighter colors are near impossible to read [20:51] _Tux_, search for "lm-sensors" [20:51] lastelement0: well you can restore the original one if you like...

[20:51] jordan, yah yah i know.... shit is scrolling fairly fast though, so ... shr00g [20:52] _Tux_, you have to run it from the command line. you're going to have to run "sensors-detect" 1st though.

Anyone had similar issues. the keyboard works fine - the mouse just refuses to work [20:52] Itaku, what are you trying to view.. what does the install.php belong to.. ? a CMS program? [20:52] computa_mike: try doing a google on the mouse driver [20:52] Itaku: you need to fix your web server to not treat .php files as plain text [20:52] computa_mike, you need to configure it correctly in xorg.conf. [20:53] Does anyone here have mono running on ubuntu gutsy successfully? [20:53] kbrooks: how do i do that? [20:53] Itaku: google apache mime type php [20:53] Reery: well you might have broken your hdd I'm sorry to say, keep trying with fsck though, you can also get repair disks, but you might have just broken it, I suggest you backup your important data, if you want to keep trying, just so you don't lose anything [20:53] tcpdumpgod : I have had a crack at setting up the mouse using the /dev/mouse3 device - that's what I see it connect as - only no jo [20:53] lastent: try doing that, it should allow you to change back to the original [20:53] Itaku, mishilighted? [20:53] Itaku, you might just need to access it with http://localhost: [20:53] computa_mike, whats the model of your mouse? [20:54] Azer, are you talking to me? [20:54] tcpdumpgod: it's a cheap Tesco technika mouse and keyboard Desk set (you know - the type that uses a USB Wireless dongle thing) [20:54] lastent: nope, proberly not, you are autocompleted though, sorry [20:54] tsh - I am in the same boat -- trying to get the latest mono working... [20:54] computa_mike, i need a model number off the bottom of the mouse to work with. [20:54] azexian: the disk is about 1 month old, but thank you for the tip, this sounds like the best reason for this issue [20:54] <_Tux_> tcpdumpgod : well I cant find it. [20:55] tcpdumpgod : TDSET03 [20:55] _Tux_, you cant find what? [20:55] d_tech123, ahhh really... well, i'm looking for advice, whats the best way to do this? 1) through packages from apt-get repos, 2) the gui installer from their site .... ? MY attempt in debian was via the gui installer on mono's site. [20:55] <_Tux_> tcpdumpgod: how to run the lm-sensors [20:55] _Tux_, i just told you what to do... you have to run "sensors-detect" 1st. [20:55] tsh - The version of mono in the repository is woefully out of date. [20:55] Reery: I'm not just pulling strings, the fact that you can't repair it isn't good, someitmes a hard restart can ruin them, although don't give up, backup, then try some repair disks [20:55] <_Tux_> tcpdumpgod: I typed it in the console,no go [20:56] tsh - download the latest from the mono web site and try to create a "parallel" installation (according to them) [20:56] d_tech123, That could be with very good reason... i'm not a .net/c# developer what so ever. I'm installing it to learn.. [20:56] <_Tux_> ok...found it [20:56] tsh, I would use the packages in the repos [20:56] <_Tux_> sorry [20:56] hold up _Tux_ [20:56] okay [20:56] <_Tux_> tcpdumpgod : found it... its ok [20:56] <_Tux_> tcpdumpgod: thanks alot! [20:56] Jordan_U, Thats what i'm thinking... [20:56] azexian: yeah, i'll do so. i tried to reinstall ubuntu, but came along with another issue... [20:56] no problem _Tux_ [20:56] Jordan_U, Do you have it working? [20:56] tsh, Unless they are an older version than the one you need, in which case try getdeb.org [20:56] Reery: what issue? [20:56] tsh, No [20:57] ok [20:57] tsh, Never tried [20:57] tsh -- if you are just learning, then download monodevelop from the repositories -- thats the gnome ide for mono/C# [20:57] Im not too sure on that one computa_mike... get a less crappy mouse. [20:57] anyone know of a music player that allows you control the playback speed? [20:57] *simple [20:58] capiCrimm, you can change the sample rate w/Audacity. [20:58] tcpdumpgod, yeah, that's why I threw in simple. Using Audacities interface is a bit of overkill. [20:58] capiCrimm: if you press the ] button well on mplayer, that should do it [20:58] tcpdumpgod : I thought I'd ask as I can sse the thing appear when I view the /dev/input are - but it's just not working on the desktop - I think you may be onto something there - I have a logitech one that can try.

I've tried another screen instead of the plug'n'play, but the black screen shows up, too [20:59] d_tech123, i did that on debian and it messed my box up will it just work 'out the box' with the repos on ubuntu? [20:59] Jordan_U - did you mean getdeb.net ?? getdeb.org is a spam site [20:59] try jackin with the settings in xorg.conf [20:59] it may be /dev/imps2 or something [20:59] Lizardo, Depends on what language you are going to be programming in [20:59] Jordan_U: oh sry it's c++ [20:59] d_tech123, Yes, thank you [20:59] capiCrimm, i dont know a lite program that'll slow it down. [20:59] azexian, thanks, exactly what I needed [20:59] tsh - haven't tried it...sorry... [20:59] how do i make apache not treat php files as text files??????????????????????

[22:02] i dont know, because my festy have no sound yet [22:02] Jack_Sparrow, mostly old windows user. thinking they are in the need of a desktop firewall on ubuntu too [22:02] chamunks, fresh install --> backup to a virtual pc or just dump / onto an external hd (thru livecd) and restore every often as u like [22:02] julian_, agreed [22:02] i have been using the fgrlx drivers and i wanted to switch to the ati non-restricted drivers. i edited xorg.conf and changed fgrlx for ati, now the mesa drivers kicked in. how do i actually make the ati drivers the default? [22:03] Jack_Sparrow, i know about that, cause i was thinking the same way and read alot about the firewalls on ubuntu and iptables and read alot of discussions for and against iptable managers [22:03] wormintrude, sounds like a great idea like basically all i need to do is backup my /home/ /var/www/ and mysql DB's the rest i dont mind reconfigging every upgrade [22:03] Whats a good VM app for Ubuntu?

Is there any other ways to get these stickers? LoCo teams? [22:12] Ubuntu has not Frostwire?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [22:18] lane__: massive difference and they have different dependencies [22:18] !gksudo | ALPSINC [22:18] ALPSINC: 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) [22:18] orudie, add the chroot command to /etc/passwd as his shell (google for exact info) [22:18] Hey. Can there be per user language settings? I installed a new localization but now all users are experiencing the new one.

[22:44] ubuntu-user_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (to just set res) If you get locked out Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max res.

[22:45] pulpfiction: it should be created automatically [22:45] astro76, i tried without creating them and it didn't work.. then i proceed to create them and it also didn't work.. but now i'm wondering if it's because the owner is root:root, while the sda5 directory is root:plugdev [22:45] pulpfiction: another way to control mount point is to set a label on the disk, it will use that name [22:45] how many of you thinks, using Ubuntu if way.. better than windows ? [22:45] i do [22:45] astro76, ok, that might work it... how do i set a label?

[23:43] Dannyboi: xchat isn't so bad === b0x is now known as b0xxy [23:44] does anyone know about the etc/gdm/session/default files [23:44] dannyboy: use pidgeon :) [23:44] in gnome [23:44] nomopofomo: well you'll want to setup hosts on those other computers that will be accessing the server [23:44] when I try to install it, it prompts to download 350MB of packages, including apache2 and the ktchen sink [23:44] :| [23:44] so....1820x8000...fix it. [23:44] 1280* [23:44] nomopofomo: the computer running the server should have a fixed ip address [23:44] nith - http://paster.stgraber.org/1959 [23:44] bitlogical: what about them? [23:45] Dannyboi, archaic perhaps but you never see people asking about how to get sound or how to get webcam working in xchat or irssi or Mirc for that matter. offtopic......... [23:45] azuki: yes it takes over 600mb, because its not just installing kde, its installing a ton of custom apps that come with it.... [23:45] rbil: Everything was working fine for me until I edited my hosts file, trying to get NFS to work and now proftpd is acting weird which is why I'm asking this question. So do you have any idea what my old hosts file might have looked like? Maybe you could show me yours? [23:45] hi [23:45] hallo [23:46] nomopofomo: btw, why are you using an ftp server to do this for a local LAN? wouldn't smb or nfs be better? [23:46] root____2: my firefox cannot resolve that site [23:46] ricanelite? [23:46] help me! just a cursor is blinking on my console [23:46] For Ubuntu not to default support my screen resolution is really annoying, it ruins thr whole OS experience, havving crap resolution. [23:46] <_Zombie_> do recent linux distros support/have drivers for mice with more than 8 buttons, which allow you to assign each button sepperately without having to be a rocket scientist? [23:46] desco, thats usually a good sign on a console... [23:46] nith - http://paste.stgraber.org/1959 [23:46] Zombie> A mouse with 8 buttons? :o [23:46] wat res Dannyboi [23:46] Hi, my system clock keeps slowing down. Doesn't matter if I set it to manual or to sync with net servers. Could it just be my CMOS battery? [23:47] michalski: yep but I'd like to login ;) [23:47] rbil: I'm just tinkering ^_^ I don't like giving up on things I've already started. About half way into this little project I realized that UNIX most definitely had other options like NFS. [23:47] b0xxy 1280x800 [23:47] u got widescreen laptop [23:47] ? [23:47] yes [23:47] desco: oh lol ok most people like that...try hitting ctrl+c [23:47] cant help u there mate, got the same problem [23:47] <_Zombie_> jargon the mouse wheel is considered 3 buttons, up/down/click - 2 thumb buttons, left/right button, 3 additional buttons on top - the mx 518 [23:47] LOL [23:47] nomopofomo: I don't run a ftp server here [23:47] jees [23:47] root____2: line 115 is compiz [23:47] :> [23:48] rbil: Mkay. Could you show me what your first and second lines of your hosts file looks like to see if I can restore mine to normal? [23:48] So Ubuntu doesnt support wide screen..and hooooow many new laptops are widescreen...90%? [23:48] hahaha [23:48] michalski: doesn't work this method [23:48] rbil: Which is easier to setup, NFS or SMB? [23:48] it suports 1280x7xx [23:48] and 848 or something? [23:48] yup [23:48] you guys got gnash working ? [23:48] 127.0.0.1 localhost [23:48] 127.0.1.1 Main-Ubuntu [23:48] haha [23:48] i dont want 768nthough [23:48] yeh its gay : [23:48] yeah michalski [23:48] i want 800 [23:48] lol [23:48] b0xxy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:48] nomopofomo: second one is the hostname of my local box [23:48] ricanelite: did it work? [23:48] pyrex-mode is borked for emacs!, anyone have a fix? [23:49] nomopofomo: so yours would be different of course [23:49] i dont know [23:49] desco: were you doing anything before it froze or did the login just not show up [23:49] i have the file i downloaded from adobe on my desktop [23:49] just dont know what to enter on the terminal [23:49] rbil: That's the default hostname that Ubuntu gave you, right? [23:49] to get it going [23:49] nomopofomo: no, I made up that name [23:49] nith - okay so I've remove anything compiz now and xserver-xgl... [23:49] ricanelite: hold on i'll download the file and walk you through it, its been awhile since i've done this [23:49] root____2: nonono [23:50] ok [23:50] rbil: Default host file? [23:50] rbil: *hosts [23:50] i just locked myself out of my home directory, how can remove the chmod [23:50] nomopofomo: to get your hostname do .... echo $HOSTNAME [23:50] michalski: after boot. no prompt for login in consoles [23:50] rbil, or just use the hostname command [23:50] orudie, sudo chmod OPTIONS /home/ [23:50] root____2: just turn it off for now, so "sudo kill 7194" [23:50] rbil: I know what it is. I'm just making sure I've got things back to normal and that you hadn't personally changed it. [23:50] unop_: whatever [23:50] desco: is it just black or is there any text? [23:51] I'm having a few problems with daap between rhythembox and itunes, I've opened the ports 3689 and 5353 to network traffic in firestarter but unless I disable the it itunes is unable to discover my rhythembox library and vice versa [23:51] michalski: black and no text jst the blinking cursor [23:51] nith - right now it plays the login music and goes to a screen which shows the Ubuntu colour ( u know that beige one) [23:52] root____2: yup, so ctrl+alt+f1, then "sudo killall compiz.real" [23:52] desco: try hitting ctrl+alt+f1 [23:52] which distro is faster, debian or ubuntu [23:52] root____2: then "ps -e | grep compiz.real" to make sure it died [23:52] nomopofomo: are the other boxes on your LAN all Linux boxes? [23:52] rbil: Yes. [23:52] anaoum, depends on how you benchmark, and your definition of faster. :) [23:52] rbil: Actually not. [23:52] michalski: I've used linux ;) another way? [23:52] boot time [23:52] root____2: once it's dead, go CTRL+ALT+F7 and see if it loaded the panels [23:52] anaoum, i doubt if you will notice much diff. if you want faster boot.. disable all the services you dont need. [23:53] rbil, it shouldn't be whatever --- because the value of $HOSTNAME can change to 'whatever' :) it's not a good way to find out that info [23:53] nomopofomo: then NFS is probably the one to use over samba for sharing [23:53] desco: im stumped [23:53] Any one able to help with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60888/ ? === Itaku-Away is now known as Itaku [23:53] well, i feel that ubuntu is still a beginer distro - i am ready to move up, and am not sure which distro to go with [23:53] rbil: I have an NFS share set up but can't mount it. :( [23:54] michalski: vga=794 in grub. splash screen shows [23:54] ricanelite: ok, you have the folder open in front of you, and it has 2 files [23:54] unop_: hehe [23:54] does ANY linux distro support widescreen???? [23:54] anaoum, all are the same it their core you just need to dig into ubuntu [23:54] hey guys how do i get permissions to save a text file in the /etc folder with gedit? [23:54] ricanelite: correct? [23:54] anaoum, use what ever you like. Ubuntu is not a 'beginner' disrto in the definition that it 'limits' you - You can do anything with it that you can with other disrtos. [23:54] thisdyu: gksu gedit /etc/path/to/file [23:54] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/language-pack-en_1%3a8.04+20080317_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/shared-mime-info.mo', which is also in package language-pack-gnome-en [23:54] nomopofomo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889 [23:54] Dannyboi, sure, as long as your monitor is supported [23:55] Flannel: but in gui? [23:55] yes [23:55] anaoum, Once you learn the linux fundamentals, they apply to all disrtos. You may want to go try sidux. its nifty. [23:55] you guys seen this error yet?? granted i am running hardy heron beta [23:55] thisdyu: That is in gui. You can run that at a gnome-terminal, or alt-f2 [23:55] lol, i just want a text boot! i dont like the ubuntu splash screen [23:55] rbil: Thanks for the help :) [23:55] WillieDaPimp: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy [23:55] Dannyboi, 1080P here [23:55] Flannel, thanks [23:55] desco: and then nothing... have you tried booting in the emergency mode to see if it boots properly and its just an error with X? [23:55] anaoum: So turn off the splash/quiet in your grub conf [23:56] It's a Laptop [23:56] an Inspiron 6400 [23:56] with an ATI X1300 [23:56] 1280x800 [23:56] its me again ;) on compiling my own kernel there are messages like LD, CC and then the file what does LD and CC mean? can anybody explain? [23:56] Flannel: yeh i know - but thats too ugly [23:56] i like the suse boot process :) [23:56] CC is c compiler [23:56] anaoum: Er... you just said you wanted a text boot. [23:56] LD is the linker [23:56] ricanelite: double click flashplayer-installer, and the click "run in terminal" at the dialog box [23:56] you don't need to know about them generally [23:56] thank you gauze_ [23:57] There IS a codec that will play .m4a files, right? [23:57] ricanelite: then just follow the prompts [23:57] gauze_, i was just interested what these messages mean :) [23:57] WARNING: wlan1 appears to not accept the Madwifi-NG controls. Will attempt to configure it as a standard Madwifi-old interface. If you are using madwifi-ng, be sure to set the source interface to the wifiX control interface, NOT athX [23:57] FATAL: Unable to find private ioctl 'get_mode' [23:57] hrm? [23:57] julian_: if you don't ask you'd never know right? :) [23:57] k [23:57] gauze_ right :) [23:57] for some reason, suspend & hibernate work better in debian than ubuntu [23:58] I want to downgrade to gutsy. When i reinstall gutsy will my /home be messed up? [23:58] gauze_, i googelt it before but didnt came to a a page which explained it maybe i googelt wrong [23:58] hello all [23:58] what would be the undo/reverse for chmod u=rw,go= file [23:58] Dannyboi: read #1 http://www.mylittleubuntuguide.com/2007/10/20/ubuntu-gutsy-on-dell-inspiron-6400/ [23:58] arctic: no [23:58] yuuups [23:58] anaoum, ubuntu and debian have deviated quite significantly, so yes, that's expected -- there are a few things ubuntu does better [23:58] arcticpenguin380: is /home on it's own partition? [23:59] ...wait...reinstall arcticpenguin380? [23:59] what do you mean [23:59] yes on its seperate partition [23:59] Im on hardy right now [23:59] i think the only advantage ubuntu has over debian is its restricted drivers [23:59] when reinstalling, mark the /home partition as the /home partition to use.... [23:59] orudie, you mean you want to revert back to the default permissions again ? [23:59] e107 requires PHP to be installed or compiled with the MySQL extension to work correctly, please see the MySQL manual for more information. [23:59] arcticpenguin380: should be fine as long as you define home to mount from that partition [23:59] how do i fix that [23:59] how do i find out what chipset my wifi card it?
