[00:00] im having trouble following this guide to install a usplash screen, can anyone help me out? [00:00] !fluxbox [00:00] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [00:01] anybody use sopcast here? [00:01] I'm having problems with gstreamer and compiz and I've forgotten how to get the video output to work properly when xgl is active :-( [00:01] juice: Gotta go. Got a 'con to prepare for. Good luck. Let me know how I can help later. [00:02] so I'm using a dvorak keyboard and it seems like when the ctrl key is down the console is acting as a qwerty keyboard [00:02] im following a guide to install a usplash screen and its telling me to "open terminal and digit" what does this mean? [00:02] this seems very odd. [00:03] Hi. I hope someone can help me with networking. I have two machines both running Gutsy at home. They are connected to an EchoLife HG520s ADSL router. I have enabled Shared folders on my desktop machine. I can get my laptop to see the network shares when I navigate by IP address but the problem is I cant find how to get the router to allocate the desktop pc a static IP address. If I could get this to happen then it would be easy - I could just list [00:03] jmsaunde_: the control key seems to have assumed a 'group switch' function. You can reassign this function to another key, then it should all work as expected. [00:03] is it possible for ubuntu crash because of graphic card? [00:04] hp: of course, if it's faulty [00:04] I have a general open source question. I want to release a piece of code(PHP Framework) under a license that makes them keep my copyright notices, does not allow them to release the code as there own, allows them to use my code in licensed project(open or closed source). i want a license with no copyleft(i believe that is what it is called). [00:05] soundray: i keep getting crashing while watching something, either it's DVD or flash. Is there a way to fix it? [00:05] ryanzec: this is a ubuntu support channel - your question is offtopic here. Try #ubuntu-offtopic or perhaps #ubuntu-devel [00:06] clear [00:06] hp: maybe it's overheating. Are all the fans running? [00:07] soundray, i'm not sure!! [00:07] whats a nice and stable program similar to amarok for palyiing music, likely something with a dynamic playlist [00:07] ryanzec: try #gpl [00:07] How do I shut down X? [00:07] soundray, how do you check? [00:07] ryanzec: #gpl is empty, i was thinking of #gnu I think [00:07] hp, install lm-sensors, config it, then you can install some gui to see temps in X [00:08] john_doe: ctrl+alt+backspace? [00:08] john_doe: or just logout [00:08] Marbug: I have just started using QuodLibet. It is pretty good and allows you to index your music however you want. Dont know if that helps [00:08] hp: you look at the fans [00:08] xlv, how aboug gkrellm? [00:08] hp, that works [00:08] pestilence: I need to kill it so that it doesn't respawn [00:08] john_doe: To shut down X, press , , [00:08] hm k JonathanEllis I'll check it out thx [00:09] hp, i prefer ksensors even in gnome, it has the look of motherboard monitor in windows [00:09] soundray: but it only does it in the console, not in X things or in the ttys [00:09] so like I'm really confused as to what's goin' on here [00:09] sorry for the slow response bt [00:09] w [00:10] XLV, thanks [00:11] jmsaunde_: sorry, I don't think I can be much help there [00:11] soundray: thanks for trying at least [00:11] is there a site that keeps a log of this channel? [00:11] soundray: I'm kind of hitting a brick wall here with no luck finding tzdata in dapper, I have universe and multiuniverse in my sources.list? [00:11] Is there a way to put all three of my menus into one? [00:12] I have a quick question. How can I run commands simultaneously on the bash command line. In parallel, not one after the other? [00:12] cpurn: dapper is different [00:12] poseidon: right click the menu and edit menus [00:12] soundray: does that mean I have to install it manually without package? [00:12] whoa. [00:13] so apparently it's qwerty on ctrl-key-down when you have qwerty as a keyboard type installed [00:13] (when it's dvorak by default) [00:13] cpurn: no [00:13] JonathanEllis, it seems my first view is that it isn't something quite advanced? :p [00:13] that's freaking drugs [00:13] ARRRRGH! Assistance! [00:13] ... [00:13] cpurn: I think the timezone data is part of libc6 in dapper [00:13] soundray: I'm trying to stick with the packages as much as I can... would you be able to share some lights on how I can get tzdata? google hasn't been helpful. [00:13] soundray: I see [00:14] Marbug: Sorry I dont understand. Quodlibet is too advanced for you or not advanced enough? [00:14] agent_: your not gonna get help that way. Please explain your problem. === gligorhoria is now known as hardy_w8ing [00:14] soundray: thanks, I'll check it out... that's a good hint [00:14] kindofabuzz, I don't see the option to join the menus under that [00:14] cpurn: to confirm, you could look at the libc6 changelog and see if it contains timezone data related entries [00:15] poseidon: drag and drop [00:15] soundray: yup... I'll try kick the libc6 upgrade on my test box.. :) [00:15] sf [00:15] I have 2 video cards installed. Both are geforce 2 class. One is pci and one is agp. When one is using 'nvidia' and the other is using 'nv' they work perfectly, but when both are using 'nvidia' the top and bottom bars load, then disappear, and the desktop stops responding. Compiz is NOT running. [00:15] fs [00:15] fs [00:15] linewire [00:15] i got no idea where to go from here [00:15] tono: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] Marbug, maybe you like mpd with sonata or something. [00:15] well JonathanEllis I don't see a lot of options I have etc like in amarok :) [00:16] I'll check it casper__ [00:16] anybody here have a dlink DIR-625? [00:16] Hey...n00b question...my firewire drive won't show up on Kubuntu Feisty...any ideas? [00:16] Ulrich === username is now known as Ulrich [00:16] !kubuntu | siso [00:16] siso: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [00:16] hello all [00:16] #nexus [00:16] !info c++ [00:16] Can anyone help me with sound? [00:16] siso: It doesn't auto mount? Or you don't see the device? [00:16] AnthraxDream: what's your problem? [00:16] Marbug: I have only just started using it, but I can sort my music as many ways as I can think. Admittedly that probably isnt many ways:P [00:17] My sound doesn't work on ubuntu, but it works perfect on vista [00:17] how to make gnochm understand charsets ? [00:17] !sound | AnthraxDream [00:17] AnthraxDream: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:17] Don't see the device; I know how to mount it if i can see it, I used to do it in Dapper, but I just upgraded to Feisty (just today) now it doesn't work [00:17] I've tried everything [00:17] what is the name of the next ubuntu release? [00:17] Hardy Heron [00:17] thanks [00:18] hardy herin :D [00:18] sup people [00:18] siso: Do you know if you have the firewire card/device recognized? [00:18] As in, driver loads, etc. [00:18] JonathanEllis, yeah indeed :p [00:18] ls1024: you can type lspci to see if it's in there [00:18] It's on a Mac, so it's not a card...but no, I suppose I'm not sure [00:18] why might my FAT partitions from Linux need formatted via Windows to be readable (which defeats the purpose)? [00:18] hardly w8ing for hardy :D [00:18] : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [00:18] anybody here have a dlink router? [00:18] siso: As brent113 said, try lspci in the terminal. [00:19] silvertip257: maybe you forgot to set the partition type [00:19] Does anyone know how to setup networking so two machines on the same subnet can see each other (for file sharing) without explicitly using the IP address but instead using the machine name as a network address - rather like windows peer-to-peer networks do? Thanks [00:19] silvertip257 linux doesn't use fat it uses ext or jurnal indexing [00:19] siso: lspci |grep -i firewire [00:19] soundray: I've set various FAT fs types (most recent = c) [00:20] silvertip257 so they are not spported by windows (ntfs fat) [00:20] hardy_w8ing: it's so I can copy files between various OSes [00:20] silvertip257: what command did you use to create the filesystem? [00:20] ls1024: 0002:20:0e.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth 2 FireWire (rev 81) [00:20] That is what I get with "lspci" [00:20] silvertip257 sorry my bad! [00:20] So yeah, it's there I guess [00:20] siso: What make and model is your external drive? [00:21] soundray: I used fdisk to create partitions, but to format I used mkfs.vfat -v -F 32 -n storage /dev/sda2 [00:21] any ideas on how to diagnose mah problem? [00:21] FireLite FWFL250 [00:21] Any issue with sharing a driver on 2 peices of hardware? [00:23] ls1024 Think maybe it's a driver issue? [00:23] siso: When you plug in your external HD, does dmesg say anything? [00:23] silvertip257: looks okay to me. I'm surprised Windows won't accept the filesystem. How big is it? [00:23] siso: It might be something with the driver for the external HD/enclosure chipset. [00:23] agent_: these are video cards? they use the exact same driver? [00:23] It looks like it recognizes your FireWire controller hardware. [00:24] yeah [00:24] soundray: it's only a 1 GB partition [00:24] geforce 2 gts agp and a geforce 2 mx 400 pci [00:24] agent_: thought one used the legacy [00:24] ls1024: Would it have recognized it no problem under Dapper and not Feisty? [00:24] is there a different name for the legacy driver? [00:24] that may be it... [00:24] aye === linuxnoob is now known as billyf [00:25] silvertip257: if all else fails, maybe format it as ext3 and use ext2fsd in Windows to read/write it. [00:25] strange thing: sometimes my workspaces just shift o.O .. the most left is moved to the right and all others shifted left .. anybody had this before? [00:25] siso: I'm not sure. [00:25] agent_: so that would be two different drivers not a single one [00:25] soundray: heheh ... all these work arounds :) [00:25] siso: Usually they don't take out support for hardware [00:25] how do you search for processes again? [00:25] is it grep? [00:25] my thoughts exactly ls1024 [00:25] aeleon: ps ax will show all processes. [00:26] how do i tell it, in xorg i assume, to use the legacy? [00:26] silvertip257: you must admit this one's particularly cool, since it works around all those FAT weaknesses in one stroke ;) [00:26] * cpurn is away: (Auto-Away after 10 mins) [BX-MsgLog On] [00:26] is that an option maybe? [00:26] soundray: haha yes it does! [00:26] Wait: it just mounted when I unplugged and replugged it in....I've done that before, but now it worked...OH! Maybe because I created a mount point for it in /media? [00:26] hello [00:26] I need a job [00:27] atlantis, get a cpm computer :-) [00:27] siso: Possibly, but usually the mount points are created automatically, and on the desktop. [00:27] atlantis: what are you good at? Tell me in #ubuntu-offtopic please [00:27] Unless you have a different setup. [00:27] isn't there one that lets me search the processes? [00:27] on channel in french languistique [00:27] aeleon: Try ps ax|grep [00:27] relax [00:27] thanks. [00:27] Zero-00 | fr [00:27] oops [00:27] Zero-00 | !fr [00:28] .. oh f it. [00:28] Yeah, that's what I thought too, but to get to it in the file system, I've always still had to go through /media/sda4 [00:28] yes [00:28] !fr | Zero-00 [00:28] Zero-00: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [00:28] !away > cpurn (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [00:28] thank you, Pici. === Owner__ is now known as Owner [00:28] siso: There should be a corresponding device in /dev for it.

[00:30] merci [00:32] two questions: can I do mplayer run rmvb movies on my gutsy amd64? My 8.1 amd64 install crash (X restart) when selecting my keyboard device. Is this a know bug? [00:33] I heard xmms is a nice music player [00:33] but what do I need to install, xmm or xmms2 ? [00:33] "xmms" [00:33] sudo apt-get install xmms [00:33] Marbug: go with audacious, it's an actively developed fork [00:33] thought xmms had stopped development [00:34] it doesn't appear to be in the 8.04 repos any-hwo. [00:34] *how [00:34] so exactly what software is crashing for me? is it gnome itself you think? [00:34] how do i run lm-sensors? [00:34] trying to identify what my search terms should be....... [00:34] is it in terminal? [00:34] soundray, does it support last.fm ? [00:34] soundray: I can't find them in the changelog, but you seem to be right on the ball... all system that has 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5 installed seem to have the right timezone data DST for 2008 [00:34] How do i strink my current hard drive with Ubuntu? [00:35] Does anyone know how to setup networking so two machines (both running Gutsy) on the same subnet can see each other (for file sharing) without explicitly using the IP address but instead using the machine name as a network address - rather like windows peer-to-peer networks do? Thanks [00:35] When I open "Run application" (alt + f2) and I type something, i.e Amarok, it will try auto complete and i'll always get 'Amarokok' I tried searching launchpad but I don't know what terms to use for good results. [00:36] Daleus: this is gutsy 7.10? [00:36] How do i shrink my current hard drive with Ubuntu? And its currently running write now. [00:36] its 8.04 beta [00:36] well, It was alpha but its totally upgraded with all new packages. [00:36] #ubuntu+1 please Daleus [00:36] Marbug: I haven't tried, but I suppose so [00:36] thanks. [00:37] How do i shrink my current hard drive with Ubuntu? And its currently running write now.... [00:37] cpurn: nothing in /usr/share/doc/libc6/changelog.gz ?

[00:43] Ok then heres the question. I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 last night. I use to have 7.04 but was buggy. Heard this version was a lot better and it is. But the problem is that i have no sound. [00:43] I'd like to set up a fake serial port to test on my laptop some code that will be running on a different board, that has a serial port, is there a way to do that? [00:44] Where can I change the keybind to move a window (alt-click)? [00:44] Rather silly question, but whats the easiest way to control powering on and off my bluetooth and wifi on my laptop? The hardware switch kills both of them. [00:44] Adys, let me guess.. its messing up wth wine and some games? [00:44] Yeah precisely [00:44] Adys, ive heard others ask.. but not sure how its done. I was thinking with fullscreen mode on the games it was not a problem. the #wine guis may have better info [00:45] #wine people in the channel wine i mean. :)0 [00:45] any one want to take a stab on some advice on that [00:45] !sound | k0rn [00:45] k0rn: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

If you have time? [00:45] Adys, ive never noticed how to disable it. I was thinking it was built into the X server. but i may be wrong there. [00:46] ok cool thank you i will try that [00:46] ah bot [00:46] well thanks ls1024 [00:46] Dr_willis: pretty sure its part of compiz [00:46] cafuego: ping [00:46] siso: Basically, when you update, the packages database gets locked.

[00:55] gaucho: vmware supports 64bit guests (not free as in speech, but as in beer) [00:56] gaucho: qemu should work, assuming you have the kvm kernel module loaded. [00:56] It's a little more involved than VirtualBox if you want to get it all working. [00:57] hey. someone i dont know how my 6 has been mapped to cntrl-M on pidgin so whenever I type "6" it does new nstat message window. this is very annoying how do I fix this [00:57] Is there any way to change the GNOME panel width? === reconnect is now known as recon [00:57] Lainy: right-click --> properties ? [00:58] Odd-rationale: thanks [00:58] hey can i safely delete local/obsolete packages (in synaptic package manager)? [00:58] Johnson_ put the cursor over new message windoe menu item, you'll see it's 6 (probably) press ctl-m while the pointers over the menu item [00:58] I got rid of a repo (kde4) [00:58] hvgotcodes: As long as you dont need them. [00:58] ok well my sound card is working but i get no sound [00:58] yeah im doing a bit of housekeeping [00:59] hey, i have an ati hd3870xt, and the drivers on atis site only go upto the hd2900, but i tried them anyway, and it totaly messed everything up, i just get a black screen on boot now, does anyone know if the 3870 is supported? [00:59] it still says control + M [00:59] alguém sabe colocar prpogramas no PATH? [00:59] This was weird... I booted up to the live cd, and ended up at a login screen.... [00:59] my sound card is NVidia [HDA NVidia], [01:00] did I just not wait long enough? [01:00] Johnson_ hm, try pressing control m anyway. gtk lets you change accelerators (key presses) and that's the method. The few times I've seen reports like yours, that's been the issue [01:00] cool! qemu is working good! [01:00] how come when i removed the kde4 repo it says the poppler library is orphaned. If I elect to remove it it affects gimp... [01:00] Is there any way to remove middle-click paste for a single mouse device? I like it on my actual mouse, but it's very very annoying on my tablet. [01:01] nickrud, alright i'll try that i just changed it to 9, but its not responsive to 9, i will mess around with it. thanks [01:01] it says linux-image 2.6.20-16 needs to be removed...is that safe? [01:01] hvgotcodes: What kernel does uname -a say you're running? [01:02] Johnson_ check gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels , that's the key that controls that ability. See if it's checked. [01:02] Ok, makefiles are documented here http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/index.html [01:02] hvgotcodes: hmm. Maybe you could remove it then reinstall ubuntu-desktop ? [01:02] 2.6.22-14 [01:02] hvgotcodes: Should be safe. [01:02] can i delete poppler? [01:03] is there a good ubuntu oriented article for backing up a system from harddrive a to empty drive b. Using dd maybe? [01:03] hvgotcodes: Depends if you need anything that depends on it. [01:03] ls1024: my only concern is it wants to remove the gimp [01:03] im surprised its showing as orphaned [01:03] hvgotcodes not if you use the gnome pdf viewer [01:04] Also, is there any way to make gnome-terminal play a wav/mp3/etc on terminal bell? [01:04] Does anybody know why a monitor would blink (black screen) after Xorg starts up? But if I turn off and back on the monitor, it fixes the problem? [01:04] do i need cupsys? [01:04] ls1024: do you have compiz installed? [01:04] Marupa: Indeed. [01:04] nickrud, its checked [01:04] ls1024: then that's normal. [01:04] Normal as in known bug? === Bizzeh is now known as Bizzeh|23today [01:05] Johnson_ ok, that means you can change those. What i suggested is what you need to set. [01:05] ls1024: Normal as in it's switching from metacity to compiz. [01:05] hvgotcodes if you print, yes [01:05] Ey. I'm thinking of buying a second monitor, problem now a days is that most LCD's are way cheaper for widescreen. Will it be bad to have dual monitor with 1600x1200 + 1680x1050 ? Will it be odd? Should I try to get 4:3 instead? [01:05] nickrud: no printing [01:05] yeah i tried that im guess maybe there are some overriding pref files i've changed somewhere [01:05] yet [01:05] i can always reinstall right? [01:05] But it happens incessantly, until I "reboot" the monitor. [01:05] hvgotcodes then you can get rid of that and hplip (hp printing) . And yes you can [01:05] ls1024: like, it won't stop happening until you turn your monitor off then back on? [01:05] sweet [01:06] Marupa: Yes. [01:06] is it possable to get gnome to do sli? [01:06] ok thanx for the help guys.... [01:06] ls1024: Hmmm. That sounds like a possible resolution problem. Is it CRT or LCD? [01:06] hvgotcodes you might want to install sysv-rc-conf , its a way to turn off system services like cupsys that you don't use without uninstalling [01:06] Marupa: LCD, running at native res. [01:06] ls1024: Not sure then. Nvidia or ATI? [01:06] Marupa: Intel 3100. [01:07] ls1024: Not sure about intel cards. I know nVidia and ATI work fine though. Never had a problem with them. Could be a funky driver. [01:07] Johnson_ if all else fails, you should be able to remove the accels , probably found under ~/.purple [01:07] Marupa: That's what I was thinking too. [01:07] Hopefully hardy comes with some updated drivers. :) [01:07] ls1024: How old is the graphics card? [01:07] Marupa: Around mid-last year. [01:07] nickrud, i just checked it, and found it [01:08] it says 6 for some reason i dont know why but i can change it now [01:08] good === LiraNuna is now known as RickAstley [01:08] I got a big problem [01:08] I can't resize my hardrive? [01:09] I restarted and boot up live cd and gpart it [01:09] anyone know if i can get my iMon Ultra Bay working in ubuntu 7.10 x86? [01:09] * milia bbb [01:09] ubuntu_: What other partitions do you have on the physical disk? === RickAstley is now known as LiraNuna [01:09] Anything with NTFS or other non-native partitions [01:09] ? [01:10] Can anyone help me? on resizing a hard drive? [01:10] ?? omg over 1000 people?? is that possible ?? [01:10] YES!!!!!!! [01:10] :O [01:10] ubuntu_: Are you sure the partitions are not mounted? [01:10] ubuntu_: See above. [01:11] so Freenode have quite a lot of linux channels I see [01:11] Dr_willis: found it [01:11] Well, if no one knows if there's a way to get gnome-terminal to play a wav on terminal bell, does anyone know of a telnet-game client with a decent GUI, native to linux? [01:11] Odd-rationale, ubuntu_: Assuming it's a raw live CD session, no physical disks are mounted on startup. [01:11] ls1024: Huh? My disks mount automatically in livecd. [01:12] Dr_willis: it's in CompizConfig Settings Manager -> Uncategorized -> Move Window for future reference [01:12] Marupa: All partitions? [01:12] ls1024: Correct. just making sure he didnt mount any. [01:12] ls1024: Well, no. Just the primaries. [01:12] Ah, okay. Bit of confusion there, sorry. [01:13] hello! My father is having problems with firefox, so I wanted to update it through synaptic. However, whenever I try to use synaptic, apt-get, or the automatic updater, It says "Package frostwire needs to be reinstalled, but no file have been found", and it doesn't let me do anything [01:13] Odd-rationale I unmounted and when i resize it it just say error checkdisk [01:13] Adys, what if one is not using compiz :) [01:13] Well sucks to be him then [01:13] :P [01:13] metacity supports changing that setting too [01:13] ls1024 does it take long to resizing [01:13] hello guys [01:13] in System > Preferences > Windows [01:13] Adys, compiz + wine games can = lots of problems. [01:13] ls1024 it shows its still pending [01:13] Dr_willis: aye hehe, figured :) I just code wow addons though so doesnt matter to me [01:14] Adys, so you are the guy that Blizzard can blame for those. :) [01:14] ls1024 thanks [01:14] :P [01:14] it work [01:14] ^_^ [01:14] um, so... dpkg is dumping core, and won't allow me to do anyting with apt, etc. it's crapping itself trying to configure libc6 [01:15] ryan-c: like, it tries to retrieve, and gets a partial file, then when it tries to set it up, it fails? [01:15] no [01:15] it.. [01:15] so anyone think its weird that my sound card shows up but i get no sound when i view say youtube [01:15] ryan-c, use the pastebin to show us what you see [01:15] um, shit. attempt to access beyond end of device on my root fs. [01:15] k0rn: which java/flash plugins did you install? [01:16] well.... I backed it up recently at least :/ [01:16] ryan-c: Oooh...hmm. No clue on that one, sorry. [01:16] The one that it asked me to i forget . Im on AMD Turion 64x2 [01:16] Marupa: I'm pretty sure it means I'm hosed. [01:16] 10 gb would be good for xp [01:16] can x11 or xorg run sli? [01:16] k0rn: x64 Ubuntu, or x86? [01:16] Would 10 gb would be good for xp? [01:16] Wamphyri: Yes [01:16] ryan-c, sound like you might have more than an issue with dpkg -- could be a problem with the filesystem even [01:16] [41401.045490] attempt to access beyond end of device [01:16] [41401.045494] dm-6: rw=0, want=23420213240, limit=31456248 [01:17] I forget [01:17] Marupa using what drivers?? (8600GT) btw [01:17] !paste [01:17] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:17] unop__: It's not an issue with dpkg, my filesystem is hosed. [01:17] i remmber picking the amd package because X86 for 7.04 didnt work on this box [01:18] ryan-c, yep, does definitely sound like it -- might be best to backup, recreate the disk structure and restore [01:18] Is there a function generator for ubuntu?For generating Sine square and sawtooth waveforms? [01:18] HAHA [01:18] I want to install amarok 2, but it seems it needs kde4 can someone help me out a little bit before I do something ant hat my whole system goes crazy? xD [01:18] unop__: I'm snapshotting my root fs and attempting to repair. [01:18] Marbug, amarok 2 is part of KDE4, which isn't entirely stable but should work. [01:18] galactus: try sox [01:18] horray lvm [01:19] huh [01:19] unop__: I have encrypted root.... this will be fun :/ [01:19] how do I get my TV tuner working? [01:19] er. [01:19] SkinnYPupp, i know you could generate graphs around functions using xgraph and a shell, not sure about a GUI tho [01:19] SkinnYPupp: try sox [01:19] i rember their being an option for actuall flash player and for i think it was like kdeflash or something to handle the swf files [01:19] but I'm using gnome Madd_Matt how should I do thatre? [01:19] preferably without setting up subnets and creating IIS servers [01:19] what app, drivers, ect do i need to run sli? [01:20] keldar: my bt878 tuner worked out-of-the-box with tvtime/xawtv [01:20] ryan-c, i wouldn't be surprised if its the encrypted filesystem thats the problem [01:20] Marbug, oh, well then installing amarok2 should drag in just enough of KDE for it to work. [01:20] Marbug, that may actually work better [01:20] unop__: This is why I back it up on a regular basis. [01:20] xawtv does nothing, I click on it and it doesn't even show a window or nothing [01:20] he [01:20] hi [01:21] my computer crashed while I was on vacation, something probably got corrupted. [01:21] is anyone here using dapper? [01:21] can i upgrade from dapper to gutsy whithout going through the 2 between [01:22] Madd_Matt, but it isn't in synpatic, it's a tar.bz2 I downloaded and it seems I need to install with cmake etc, I don't get it all [01:22] I have this weird syndrome where when I close my laptop, then reopen it, my mouse pointer disappears. [01:22] jaffarkelshac, i should imagine so (and would do that) .. but the ops will probably tell you differently [01:22] Marbug, I think there's packages. Building amarok from source might be a pain. [01:23] You can.... move the mouse about, and click with it. But there is no indication on the screen as to where it is. [01:23] :) [01:23] jaffarkelshac: just wait four weeks and do LTS to LTS; otherwise no [01:23] anyone have any suggestions what i need to install to get sli working? [01:24] artfullylost, it might be an issue with hardware accellerated cursor issues [01:24] Well, I mean, you can upgrade from Gutsy to HH without losing your files or configurations, right? === b0x is now known as b0xxy [01:24] QUIT [01:24] oops [01:24] I'll try to find one Madd_Matt [01:24] * ryan-c waits for the new backup to finish [01:24] Madd_Matt, So restricted drivers will help with that? [01:24] yep artfullylost [01:24] artfullylost: yes see #ubuntu+1 please [01:25] the thing is flash works it plays the videos just no sound [01:25] intersesting,it is [01:25] hahah [01:26] Good, cause I just installed the restricted drivers before I asked. [01:26] * artfullylost looks sheepish. [01:26] and i get no sound with any thing else so its not flash [01:26] i just think its weird that my sound card is their but no sound [01:26] Hello All, Do anyone know how to get a network card working -I have Ubuntu 7.10 on a Macbook.. [01:26] broadcom wireless nks_? [01:27] k0rn : Tell me it's not a sigmatel sound card.... [01:27] artfullylost, No [01:27] I did try to use madwifi -but was unsuccessful.. [01:27] nks_, macbook should be common enough that googling for "ubuntu macbook wifi" should work [01:27] Good. Mine is, and it's not linux capable at the moment. Some sort of fault in the alsa. [01:28] card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog] [01:28] Subdevices: 0/1 [01:28] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [01:28] Rebooting time. [01:28] a [01:28] Hey. If I want to dual boot ubuntu, and I have 2 drives, can I install ubuntu on my second hdd (not my windows one). Will that work? [01:28] thanks bazhang - Can it be found in synaptic? [01:28] shiv, yes. [01:28] Madd_Matt: Thanks. [01:28] thats from aplay -l well not all of it i just didnt want to flood the screen [01:28] shiv, ive done it that way befor. on this machine i can hit F11 and get a fast menu to pick what HD to boot. [01:29] how do i completely remove ndiswrapper? [01:29] * IamSOG wonder what is ubuntu is good for? good for general usage ? [01:29] Dr_willis: So I wont have grub, no boot loader? [01:29] my internet connection dies after a little while. and it does not seem to matter if its under heavey, low or no usage. Any ideas? It never does this in BeOS, Windows or other OS-es [01:29] shiv, i had grub on the linxu drive, not the windows drive. [01:29] shiv, technically you still need grub, but you'll only have one option (ubuntu) [01:29] shiv, when i booted the linux hd. it went to the grub menu. [01:29] nks_: what does lspci say about that? broadcom card? [01:30] shiv, when i booted the windows hd. there was no grub. I did have to use the alternative installer for this I recall. [01:30] how do i completely remove ndiswrapper? [01:30] Does Ubuntu have any special ability ? [01:30] ok heres a good question [01:30] I'd personally still use grub to choose what OS to load, simply because its more flexibile [01:30] IDisnotScience, sudo aptitude purge ndiswrapper [01:30] anyone know of a linux distro that actually works [01:30] thanx bazhang - Was typing fast and didn't think -hehehehe ! [01:30] unop_: will that remove any ndiswrapper modules? [01:30] IamSOG, it has a very active community and a very nice selection of precompiled packages. [01:31] IamSOG: this is not really a chat channel; try #ubuntu-offtopic [01:31] k0rn, windows? but thats not really linux :) [01:31] IamSOG, ubuntu is popular primarily because its focused on desktop usage and easy enough to do so. [01:31] Oh [01:31] unop_, not even close [01:31] IDisnotScience, sure [01:31] Dr_willis: Is there any way to have a list of which OS I can boot [01:31] i was gonna say mac OS X like a linux environment but i cant afford a mac [01:31] thanks... am gonna go #ubuntu-offtopic then [01:31] unop_: will that remove any ndiswrapper kernel modules (sorry, should have been more specific)? [01:31] k0rn: ubuntu works fine [01:31] shiv, grub can let you select windows. [01:31] IDisnotScience, yes [01:32] unop_: thanks [01:32] k0rn, OSX is like a really locked down version of gnome with no sources available. [01:32] Madd_Matt: Even if its on a diff. hdd? [01:32] shiv, yep. [01:32] k0rn, and the mac is nothing like linux [01:32] bazhang, really thats why when i did the install and then it was udateing it crashed and locked up my box? And had to update manualy because nothing worked after that [01:32] unop_, both have bash =) [01:33] Madd_Matt: Oh ok then. Thanks [01:33] unop_, you have your unix environment underneath we will say instead of linux [01:33] shiv, you tell grub what disk and partition to chainload windows from. [01:33] k0rn: if you need help, that is fine; but no need to trash ubuntu [01:33] unop_, and afaik OSX is posix compliant too [01:33] im just saying [01:33] shiv, thats what grub is for. You put grub on the windows disk and get a menu, or you put it on the linux hd and get a mnenu when you boot that hd specificiallyt. [01:33] Madd_Matt: Yea. Thats what I figured you'd have to do [01:33] judgen, so do all the *bds, and minix and believe it or not win32 .. but they are all not linux [01:33] bsds* [01:33] unop_, microsoft has not full compliance to posix anymore [01:34] Dr_willis: How do I put grub on windows partition? [01:34] im kinda annoyed because 7.04 was cool but mad buggy and 7.10 is a lot better no dobut about it. The sound think is really bugging me is all [01:34] judgen, i was commenting on the availability of bash not the posix compliance [01:34] unop_, ok [01:35] Hey all I've been happy and am familiar enough with my linux that I want to remove the XP and give the other partition to linux how do I do this? [01:35] Dr_willis: Doesn't it put grub on windows partition by default [01:35] njenkins, got a live cd or a installed system? [01:35] and i just realized i have two Ubuntu Books in my closet from when i used 7.04 to try and fix some stuff wow duh [01:35] Installed I have to choose from Linux or XP everytime I boot [01:35] njenkins, just format the windoze partition as ext3 and build a mount point in fstab [01:35] shiv, thats why i said i had to use the alternative isntaller cd.. OR you unplug the windows hd, for the install. [01:35] :( [01:35] shiv, if you want it on the windows hard drive, the installer does that by default [01:35] njenkins, is the windows install before or after the linux partition? [01:36] before [01:36] shiv, thats not what you were asking to do however. :) or i missread the question. and am totally confiused [01:36] I've booted to it with no problems and used it [01:36] njenkins, which is bigger: the windows or linux? [01:36] Now the linux [01:36] I made it the bigger partition when I installed [01:36] Dr_willis: Ok then. If I want to install on my second hard drive ( not windows one) and I install it, grub will be on windows hdd and when I boot the computer, ill have a choice of ubuntu or windows? [01:36] but I don't even want the xp on it any more [01:37] Okay. You can resize the partition bigger, but I'm not sure if you can move backwards well. gparted might do it. I'll look into it [01:37] shiv, yes. thats how it normally works. [01:37] njenkins, you can just format an windows partition to ext and merge it with your current filesystem or mount it if you rather like that. [01:37] how does one find the file name of an inode? [01:37] Dr_willis: Okay. Thats what I meant from the beginning :) [01:37] Thanks [01:37] ryan-c-> use fstat? [01:37] maybe this isnt the best place to ask but i figured i would start here, using the version of ScummVM thats in the ubuntu repositories freezes my computer every time i exit the application, completely freezes, cant move mouse, cant uses keyboard commands, nothing have to just hit reset button. any ideas? [01:37] Ok that means Thunar right? [01:37] judgen, already told him that, but looks like he's incapable of reading the instructions [01:37] how do i take a filename as an argument with bash? [01:38] amenado: I don't have it installed and can't currently install anything [01:38] ryan-c-> rather just stat [01:38] njenkins, I'd suggest getting the gparted liveCD, and using it to expand your linux partition over windows. [01:38] amenado: is that a command or a syscall? [01:38] MEtaLpREs__, if the one in repo dont work, just download it from scummvm.org and if that dont work i bet its something else that is wrong. [01:39] ryan-c man stat [01:39] Madd_Matt, why? seems to just complicate things and will mean having to deal with GRUB [01:39] MEtaLpREs__, when it hangs. tried pressing ctrl+alt+backspace? [01:39] hi [01:39] amenado: I know the inode number, but not the file's name. [01:39] Grub is really not that unbearable [01:39] you'd just have to change the partition number I suppose in the config. [01:39] yea ive tried that, it doesnt work, it completely freezes the whole system [01:39] i cant do anything [01:40] MEtaLpREs__: scummvm is a game? [01:40] MEtaLpREs__, get the latest package from scummvm.org [01:40] njenkins, didn't say it was, but could bring down his system, whereas the simple route is just to reformat the part. and mount it [01:40] its kind of an emulator [01:40] bazhang, its an lucasarts script engine api cline. [01:40] MEtaLpREs__: why not something like dosbox? tons more games for that [01:41] the latest debian packae on their site doesnt work cause it has unresolvable dependencies [01:41] bazhang, dosbox does not stand a chance. plus scummvm games are AWSOME [01:41] lolcasarts === alan_m_ is now known as Alan_M [01:41] MEtaLpREs__, no its not an emulator. its a clone/interpreter [01:42] MEtaLpREs__, hardy or gutsy? [01:42] well whatever, it allows you to run the old point and click adventures games from compressed files [01:42] gutsy [01:42] MEtaLpREs__, should work.. just make sure you havelibmad installed. [01:42] www.abandonia.com has it all ;] [01:43] amenado: debugfs will apparently do the trick. [01:43] bazhang, no they dont. Curse of Monkey island and Broken sword isnt legal to post. [01:43] i have it installed and working, i can play games and its fine, its just when i click exit it drops me to my desktop and the whole machines freezes [01:43] ryan-c cool that you found a good tool [01:44] MEtaLpREs__, could be the xserver.. instead of clicking exit. try do a kill from system monitor or a terminal. [01:44] MEtaLpREs__, see if that works of results in same error === Thoth is now known as chowder [01:44] judgen: hmm... yea that may work, would be a pain to have to kill the app manually everytime but i guess it would atleast solve the problem for now [01:45] Is anyone here familiar with FTDI's D2xx drivers for linux? === ce_chinnese_ is now known as fiton [01:45] MEtaLpREs__, and alsmo make sure you settings file(s) for scummvm isnt write protected. [01:45] MEtaLpREs__, or owned by root and not the user [01:45] Just wondering, what is the correct download for Ubuntu Server? [01:46] !server [01:46] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [01:46] yacc, depends on how experienced you are. the alt-cd if you are new to ubuntu. the net-boot if you definitly know what you are doing.

I'm having a problem getting the wireless network card to work and I'm somewhat unsure if the Broadcom BCM4306 is workable ! I was told to use Broadcom - but unsure on the chipset ! [02:20] amenado, I have an ad-hoc wifi network between ubuntu and iPhone. iPhone is connected to that and also to internet through EDGE. let me upload the script I use to set up the connection, and hopefully you can understand it better than I could explain it [02:20] c-ron: should it be a running process in the system manager though [02:20] trying again... Rhythmbox is supposed to support Musicbrainz, but it seems it doesn't - must it be enabled at compile? [02:20] !broadcom | nks_ [02:20] nks_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [02:20] blahblahx, still, that's all I can really tell you to do, other than "not worry about" despite the breathing down your neck [02:21] Oh, I'm using Ubuntu 7.10... [02:21] islan: :) alright thanks for your time [02:21] amenado http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61188/ [02:21] nks_: follow the instructions on that link, it has 7.10 instructions [02:21] OK HOW CAN ENTER IN ISLIFE IRC? WHERE PUT PASS KEY? [02:21] WojciechG: No idea, I've never done much with NTFS. I think you can get disk check utilities for NTFS (well, "for windows") on the internets.

I'm wondering if it might have installed to like /usr/local/bin/ or something [02:26] do i need to uninstall beryl [02:26] ie; more than one [02:26] zedfloyd: "newest" being 7.10 (gutsy), or 8.04 beta (hardy)? [02:27] kenan: huh really [02:27] gutsy [02:27] zedfloyd: honestly you should, but i'm not familiar with setting or what you'll lose. try #compiz-fusion for help [02:27] how do i check if there are any backups? [02:27] ok thanks! [02:27] Nis2k, ls /etc/X11/xorg* [02:27] beryl is out of date, get compiz-fusion [02:27] islan, im sorry i have only been using ubuntu for about 4 months, and im learning as fast as i can [02:27] Nis2k, it's okay, we're here to help [02:28] so i type in terminal /etc/x11/xorg* [02:28] you type in: ls /etc/X11/xorg* === genii_ is now known as genii [02:28] icanhasadmin: http://pastebin.ca/959044 [02:28] that should give you a list of all the files in there that start with xorg [02:28] piti it worked, but conky script doesnt [02:28] Nis2k, if there is more than one, then one is a backup [02:28] then, after typing what what should i do [02:29] (though I don't think this should work, since I don't think Pidgin messes with that file) === qmario_ is now known as QMario [02:29] Does anyone have any other ideas why firefox is crashing when I click on some games at addictinggames.com? [02:29] Nis2k, you'll need to replace the file xorg.conf with the backup file [02:29] can we have a private chat? [02:29] icanhasadmin: bah, I cut that too short, it then says PHP 5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 (cli) (built: Jan 10 2008 09:38:37) [02:29] Coops: line 20 strikes me as interesting [02:29] kenan : bad plugin install [02:29] kenan: no idea about your rpob, but addictinggames.comis working fine for me [02:30] kenan, I think the flash is a bit unstable. It ooften crashes for me on YouTube, too [02:30] I believe I've got this issue: Bug #192585 When I boot my system freezes up and complains that it can't mount the root partition because it is busy or in use. My question is how can I boot from a livecd, then change into the HD environment to apply updates? [02:30] islan, how do i replace the file? [02:30] Coops: plus, i could be WAY off the bar, but i thought somehow php compiles into the kernel, or into apache which is compiled in the kernel, either way would require a restart. [02:30] Nis2k, I PMed you [02:30] looks like compiz-fusion is already installed... still not working? [02:30] has there been a solution for the laptop suspend/hybernate problem yet ? [02:30] schnootop: which problem? [02:30] icanhasadmin: Hmm... I'll give it a try. [02:30] zedfloyd, make sure the command center thingy is installed? [02:30] schnootop: you've got to be specific, as it works, in general [02:30] i didnt get any message [02:30] what is that islan [02:31] Nis2k, then send me one [02:31] zedfloyd, can't remember it right now XD [02:31] just did [02:31] you got it? [02:31] Coops: otherwise, You may want to add: /usr/local/lib/php to your php.ini include_path [02:31] zedfloyd, hang on a sec [02:31] Nis2k, no, afraid I didn't [02:31] k thanks [02:31] Hi there, This is Anurag [02:31] dang.. whats going on [02:31] ill try ./msg [02:31] I need help in reinstalling Ubuntu [02:31] zedfloyd : did you install the separate package that enables you to set your preferences too? [02:32] or may be a clean install [02:32] islan, you got it? [02:32] no im a newbie [02:32] Nis2k, XD no [02:32] ugh [02:32] well [02:32] icanhasadmin: strange, it worked. [02:32] Nis2k, anyway, to do this, you need to type in: mv /etc/X11/[name of xorg.conf backup] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:32] Nis2k, you have to be registered with NickServ to send pm's [02:32] is there any blogging software in ubuntu main? [02:32] tritium, well my machine didnt suspend or hibernate 100% when i did it which caused me to do a hard reset to get it back up and running [02:32] Nis2k, the name of the backup could be xorg.conf2 or xorg.conf_backup [02:32] icanhasadmin: don't usually need to restart with updates, but I guess some ya do. cheers [02:33] can anyone help me [02:33] anyone know a good toolbar for ubuntu that looks like the osx dock? [02:33] i think there were problems when ubuntu changed to 'SLUB' in 7.10 and to do with fglrx. Just wondering if there was any fixes [02:33] have there been any problems with updates that have been released recently? [02:33] is there any way for me to apt-get updates into my machine from a livecd boot? [02:33] ok islan i hope it works [02:33] when I log in through gdm, it just sits there.. nothing comes up. nothing happens. It doesn't hang.. it just sits there. [02:34] ill be back ina few minutes [02:34] ohh, and last this do you think dpkg_reconfigure will solve the problem? [02:34] xanderp: boot to the live cd and chroot to your machine once you have the drives mounted. [02:34] zedfloyd, compizconfig-settings-manager, do you have that? [02:34] then apt-get update [02:34] apt-get upgrade [02:35] tritium, heard of this problem at all ? [02:35] or can i log in to my normal system from the live cd? [02:35] Nis2k, you can pro'lly mount your hard drive [02:35] patryk996 when I chroom to the directory that I mounted it's like it doesn't have any information (like there's nothing in /dev for instance) is there a command I need to issue to get it to refresh the environment once I've chrooted? [02:35] xanderp: eg assuming sda1 as old /:sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/;sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev;sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys;sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc;sudo chroot /mnt;apt-get whatever here [02:35] yeah, but i will have to use my computer from the live cd forever [02:36] has anyone installed avant window navigator and how did you install it? [02:36] schnootop: I'm aware that some laptops have various issues with suspend/hibernate. Do you know any more about the cause? [02:36] Nis2k, you can mount your hard drive to the live cd for that session only [02:36] xanderp: genii has it [02:36] Ahh I wasn't mounting all those other things... will try that. [02:36] i know, but i want to use my computer normally again [02:36] Nis2k: you can chroot in, fix whatever needs fixing and restore a functioning system [02:36] im using live cd atm [02:37] Nis2k, such a command would probably be something like: sudo mount /dev/hda /media [02:37] NEEED HELP WITH CONKY !!! NEWB NEEDS HELP WITH CONKY !!! :D | script doesnt work when i paste in /home/user/.conkryc [02:37] trying that... [02:37] !caps | atcla_ubuntu [02:37] atcla_ubuntu: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!

[02:38] tritium, no and i couldnt find out about my specific laptop. Although supposably in hardy heron there is alot of fixes for it, just curious if there is any for gibben ? [02:38] atcla_ubuntu: use irssi [02:38] when i boot my computer, when it should get to the log in screen i get a black screen instead with my mouse pointer on waiting mode [02:38] warriorforgod, thanks, ummm im trying to edit http://suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=24876 [02:39] schnootop: it's very dependent on make/model. Suspend/hibernate has worked reliably on some models for several years/releases. [02:39] atcla_ubuntu: What are the permissions on the .conky rc file? [02:39] zedfloyd, if it geforce try this http://howtoforge.com/compiz-fusion-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-nvidia-geforce-fx-5200 [02:39] got that penba? [02:39] Nis2k: mmm, might be a problem with gdm [02:39] warriorforgod, im a literally newb [02:39] Nis2k: yep [02:39] penba, do you have a clue how to fix it? [02:39] schnootop: take a look for your make/model on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam [02:39] i dunno S&^% about UNIX [02:39] hello [02:39] atcla_ubuntu: Ok. So did you just copy and paste that file into .conkyrc? [02:39] has anyone installed avant window navigator and how did you install it? [02:39] yea [02:39] Nis2k: is this a fresh installation of ubuntu? [02:39] can anyone help me try and fix my hardware problems? [02:39] penba, what do you mean by fresh? [02:40] can anyone help me debug this: I'm on a Core 2 Quad system (x64) and after doing an update a couple days ago, gnome doesn't come up. I can log into GDM fine, then it just sits there. I can CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and switch to different Terminals (CTRL-ALT-F1,F2,etc) and back again, but after logging in, my window manager (gnome) doesn't come up. [02:40] warriorforgod, top 1st line didnt copy , so i just erased, cuz it doesnt matter anyways [02:40] atcla_ubuntu: Did you paste it into /home/user/.conkyrc? [02:40] yes [02:40] Nis2k: did you encounter the problem with after finalizing the ubuntu installation, or did it appear after some usage? [02:40] penba, after some usage [02:40] i did vi /home/user/.conkryc [02:40] atcla_ubuntu: Ok. What is the name you use to login to your machine? [02:41] atc [02:41] Nis2k: I would try reinstalling gdm and potentially xorg. [02:41] zedfloyd, also in the add/remove software dialogue check you have the compizconfig-settings-manager installed [02:41] ok. type this in a terminal window. mv /home/user/.conkyrc /home/atc/.conkyrc [02:41] penba, i was trying to install piding lastest version, then i tried to open a .jpeg file and i couldnt open it so i decided to reboot my comp and then i got the problem [02:41] atcla_ubuntu: then run conky again [02:41] penba, how do i do that? [02:41] Nis2k: just give me a sec [02:41] penba, ok [02:41] atcla_ubuntu: first you may want to run ps -ef | grep conky and kill the current conky if any is running. [02:41] anyone else run into the bug where your root fails to mount because the system says the partition is 'busy' and it just stuffs you into busybox? [02:42] thanks [02:42] ill be here more ofter im keen to help people [02:42] can anyone help me fix my hardware problems? My wireless and sound don't work [02:43] what is this system monitor: http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/zoom.php?shots/exoduz_fluxbox.jpg [02:43] Can someone give me a hand setting up a script that will automatically backup my firefox bookmarks to my usb stick on boot?

[02:43] can anyone help me debug this: I'm on a Core 2 Quad system (x64) and after doing an update a couple days ago, gnome doesn't come up. I can log into GDM fine, then it just sits there. I can CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and switch to different Terminals (CTRL-ALT-F1,F2,etc) and back again, but after logging in, my window manager (gnome) doesn't come up. I checked /tmp/gtksomethingorother and saw an error log that said something about GTK+ hav [02:43] mv /home/user/.conkryc /home/atc/.conkryc [02:43] mv: cannot stat `/home/user/.conkryc': No such file or directory [02:43] do I need evms installed to use lvm2 partitions? [02:43] penba, no i didnt [02:44] atcla_ubuntu: ok. try this vi /home/atc/.conkyrc and then paste whats on the forum into the file. [02:44] i did [02:44] stuff is there [02:44] penba, i did, tar, then cd, then ./configure, then make, after make i got an error and i couldnt fix it [02:44] i checked [02:45] hate being newb [02:45] Nis2k: apparently it has to do with the permissions set for /usr [02:45] warriorforgod: don't suggest vi to new users, too hard, suggest nano [02:45] Nis2k: check it the permissions are 700 or 755 [02:45] kindofabuzz: or ne [02:45] penba, do you think its fixable [02:45] Nis2k: definitelty [02:45] kindofabuzz, how do u select all and delete all in VI [02:45] * mneptok thinks the ne UI is the best for shell newbs [02:45] using xubuntu 7.10 cant get my digital camera to read [02:45] see [02:45] kindofabuzz: I thought the point was to kill and eat new users. [02:45] penba, where do i modify permissions [02:45] kindofabuzz, he didnt suggest i already have pasted files thru vi [02:45] Hi, I am looking for a gook key logging program for Ubuntu, are there any suggestions? [02:46] atcla_ubuntu: i have no idea, still haven't figred out vi, use nano [02:46] Nis2k: use chmod [02:46] penbla, well fixable without formatting my hd [02:46] Nis2k: man chmod for instructions, its pretty easy to use [02:46] Havrek: "apt-cache search keylog" returns one hit: lkl [02:46] okay thanks [02:46] warriorforgod, should i try same thing with nano [02:46] atcla_ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ne [02:46] Nis2k: Yes, it might just be the permissions problem, otherwise there are solutions [02:46] penba, I've found the man page for chmod is a bit...lacking [02:46] Havrek: use apt-cache search. It's your friend. [02:46] atcla_ubuntu: yes [02:46] or just gksudo gedit [02:46] Joeb454: yeah, but it will do for what Nis2k needs to to [02:46] neptok whats ne ? [02:47] Joeb454: do* [02:47] xanderp: Top 3 causes in my experience of dump to busybox: initram does not have driver for boot device ... upgrade cancelled or box rebooted before initramfs could remake initrd ... install of GRUB to a subpartition instead of main device, causing corruption of partition type anf filesystem descriptors [02:47] thanks just what I needed :D [02:47] penba, can i try chmod from live cd?

I finally took the time to --help and see it's word wrap :) [02:47] Nis2k: after mounting the HD, yes [02:47] peace guys. good luck [02:47] atcla_ubuntu: yes [02:47] penba, so i mount my hd first [02:47] Nis2k: in that case direct chmod to the mounted /usr, not the livecd /usr [02:47] Nis2k: yep [02:47] I have a problem... [02:47] atcla_ubuntu: a *very* easy to use command line editor [02:48] atcla_ubuntu: it's like vi for humans [02:48] penba, whats my hd location [02:48] I just installed Gutsy in the last 10 minutes, and it's not seeing any updates available [02:48] dev? [02:48] has anyone installed avant window navigator and how did you install it? [02:48] mneptok: you mean for people who want a very simple, feature free editor? [02:48] I'm clearly connected to the internet [02:48] Nis2k: /dev/hdaX probasbly. X is the partition number [02:48] prettyricky: I have [02:48] ok [02:48] docgnome: yes, and easy, interactive menus [02:48] prettyricky: I think the avant people have repository [02:48] wholly crap... uninstalling evms seems to have fixed my boot issue. it was crapping up the boot for some reason, even though I don't use it. [02:48] neptok i try nano see what happens, thanx i prefer unhuman stuff :D [02:49] mneptok, vi was never thought for humans ... only for freaky geeks [02:49] can you help with that? Also is that better then using Kiba-Dock [02:49] atcla_ubuntu: clearly that's a lie, or you'd be in #netbsd [02:49] penba, should i do mount -t? [02:49] neptok lol [02:49] anyone use sli? [02:49] * mneptok jumos up and down on ogra_cmpc [02:49] my first unix was gentoo [02:49] :DDD [02:49] *jumps [02:49] Nis2k: More likely a devicename like sdaX than hdaX if using 7.04 or later [02:49] i couldnt handle it [02:49] atcla_ubuntu: my condolences [02:49] thatGuy_, I've had problems due to wrong config of the DNS server settings. I was able to browse most websites, but wasn't able to see any updates. This was on OSX tho. [02:49] Nis2k: mount /dev/hdaX /media/hda should work [02:50] warriorforgod, ok so :D same thing [02:50] or just /media [02:50] thanks genii et all for getting me into my chroot'ed environment... I wouldn't have been able to remove evms without it. [02:50] penba, Failed to access '/dev/hda1/': No such file or directory [02:50] * ogra_cmpc hugs mneptok [02:50] anyone knows how to create a backup of your distro so you can rollback your software in case any updates don't work as expected? [02:50] ogra_cmpc, I think vi is a brilliantly thought out editor, get the most out of editing with it [02:50] Nis2k: try sdaX [02:50] mixed: i use part image [02:50] !clone | mixed [02:50] mixed: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [02:50] partimage [02:50] " my first unix was gentoo" <-- i could change 3 letters in that statement and make it dirty. [02:50] silly wabbit, everyone knows gxe is the best text editor [02:50] penba, didnt work [02:50] unop_, i use it all day (missed to put on :) ) [02:50] I don't understand the program installation structure of ubuntu. How do you view a list of all programs installed, like in windows start menu? [02:51] xanderp: Yer welcome :) [02:51] icanhasadmin: don't try it, please [02:51] mixed: if you get systemrescuecd, partimage is on it [02:51] penba, i can get access to my main terminal if i do ctrl alt f1 from the black screen i get [02:51] what is the output of ls -a /home/atc/ [02:51] using xubuntu 7.10 cant get my digital camera to read [02:51] tritium: yessir :P [02:51] badcarbine: you use synaptic [02:51] actually i just restored my /home form an image [02:51] Nis2k: ok, in that case it is even easier [02:51] penba, what should i do then [02:51] so there's really know reason to have a tv anymore, is there? [02:51] kl4m: why do you have to install something extra just to view programs [02:51] icanhasadmin, im waiting.... [02:51] Nis2k: write these commands down and execute them form the console: [02:51] guess I'll try it tho [02:51] make me look dirty [02:52] Nis2k: sudo apt-get --purge remove gdm [02:52] Nis2k: sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop [02:52] !synaptic [02:52] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [02:52] kindofabuzz, let me try it then [02:52] And then make sure gdm is the default desktop manager in /etc/X11/default-display-manager [02:52] sorry, I got disconnected [02:52] thatGuy_, i had to uncomment the "deb-src" lines in /etc/apt/sources.list [02:52] you could have just reinstalled gdm [02:52] !synaptic > badcarbine [02:52] penba, thats it? [02:52] be back in a few [02:52] any idea why I can't see any updates available? [02:53] Nis2k: yep [02:53] penba, how do i use ubuntu-desktop ??? [02:53] mixed: make sure you read up on systemrescuecd, can be tricky for a new user, you gotta know how to mount your partitions and stuff [02:53] penba, well dont log out ill be back in a couple of minutes either it works or not ok? [02:53] it's a livecd [02:53] Nis2k: sure [02:53] kindofabuzz, do you know how i would mount my SATA partitions? :) [02:53] penba, thanks in advance [02:53] brb [02:53] Nis2k: no worries [02:53] /dev/sda? [02:54] atcla_ubuntu: ubuntu-desktop is not usable. its sort of a configuration package [02:54] ohhhhh [02:54] i installed [02:54] :D [02:54] atcla_ubuntu: ubuntu-desktop has gnome and a bunch of apps. kubuntu-desktop has KDE and their related apps, etc [02:54] It's a meta package. [02:54] guys anything easy i could install to my ubuntu that would look nice [02:54] I have a problem. I just installed Gutsy, but it's not seeing any package updates avaiable [02:54] docgnome: thats the name for it :) [02:54] i dont even how to change my desktop or where to get some wallpaperis [02:54] if you use systemrescuecd, what you have to do is make a dir, ex. mkdir /mnt/mydrive, then you mount /dev/ /mnt/mydrive [02:55] atcla_ubuntu: how do you mean... look nice [02:55] anything that would make my ubuntu look not the same :D [02:55] thatGuy_, i had the same probs as you and i had to uncomment the "deb-src" lines in /etc/apt/sources.list [02:55] atcla_ubuntu: a fully tweaked fvwm :) but it might take you a few years :P [02:55] I spoke too soon, I can boot, but my partitions are marked read only, so there's still something wrong. [02:55] change desktop add some :DDD [02:55] whats fvwm ? [02:55] atcla_ubuntu, 24" rims and spoilers ? [02:55] if you only have one cd drive and need to use it, you gotta put that whole cd into ram, at boot do docache [02:56] atcla_ubuntu: nvm [02:56] ogra_cmpc, black on black :D [02:56] atcla_ubuntu: like...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUSn-jBA3CE that? [02:56] Grand_Poobah, I will try that right now! [02:56] i'm fine with mine looking just like everyone elses [02:56] thatGuy_, after you do that, do a sudo apt-get update and that should do the trick [02:56] atcla_ubuntu--------------> add compiz [02:56] jimiridge: mine even looks ubpar [02:56] subpar* [02:56] what is the command to move a directory? === evalles is now known as effie_jayx [02:57] mv [02:57] where do I start to figure out why my file systems are booting read only? [02:57] atcla_ubuntu: better video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvnQE1EAEZY [02:57] jimiridge: was this to me? [02:57] how do i cancel installation or download ??? [02:57] Synaptic is greeat, but it's not what I'm looking for. I want to see a list of programs, and be able to run the programs from there just by double clicking. does linux work like that? I mean the applications menu lists programs, but hardly all of the ones I have installed [02:57] mv /home/jimi/pix /mnt/movehere/ [02:57] im installing desktop-ubuntu how do i cancel ?? [02:57] my youtube with some compiz vids: http://www.youtube.com/user/420timetoburn =) [02:57] xanderp are you even able to boot? [02:57] jimiridge : thanks [02:58] prettyricky, what does it do ? compiz ? [02:58] linux=choice... wanna move a file? mv=move [02:58] How would I execute the file bookmarks.html [02:58] cuz i have conky but i cant config [02:58] dunno why [02:58] yes, it boots now that i uninstalled evms, but the root file system (ext3 on a single drive) is booting read only, so the system is pretty fubar [02:58] atcla_ubuntu: probably a problem with .conkyrc [02:58] alot of great things. go to youtube and check it out there. Its pretty sick! [02:58] penba, what problem ? [02:59] i paste text from website [02:59] atcla_ubuntu: dunno, I havent read yours. post it in pastebin.com or something [02:59] thats all [02:59] i've always wanted to make a huge list of command aliases to make my commandline more unique [02:59] xanderp-> it shouldnt even boot, as you require to write logs to /var/ and /tmp [02:59] What are the default switches for tar? -xyzf or something? [02:59] penba, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/conky-a-light-weight-system-monitor-for-ubuntu-linux-systems.html [02:59] xanderp, let's have a look at your /etc/fstab -- can you use the pastebin and paste it in? [02:59] those are failing... the gdm is failing, if i cancel the gdm failure screen I can log into cli prompt [03:00] Grand_Poobah, that basically worked! [03:00] hehe my copy-paste is now read-type, because I can't get onto that machine properly... lemme look [03:00] atcla_ubuntu: is that better than whatever the system monitor in xubuntu is? because that eats up 20-25% of my cpu power, more when scrolling [03:00] icanhasadmin, there are no default switches -- but if you are looking to extract contents of an archive -- tar zxvf archive.tgz [03:00] jimiridge: Why aliases ;) You can use prefix shell scripts to create "kind of namespaces" ;) [03:00] uno [03:00] unop__: i'm sorry, thank you :) [03:00] xanderp-> thats the default to mount it read only if entries in fstab cant be mounted normally [03:00] Bisclaveret, its gud [03:01] firefox crashes when I try to open it because of a combination of a bug and a page it's trying to load from the last session. Is there a way to kill the last session so it tries to load my homepage when it starts up? [03:01] when u kill sometimes it laggs but i like it [03:01] I am booting the ubuntu live cd. I want to dd one drive to another (dd if =hda of =hdb); how can I determine which drive is which parted? [03:01] atcla_ubuntu: it works fine for me [03:01] badcarbine: Applications, shortcuts and system have pretty much every application, except for the lesser known ones or console commands for which you have to know the appropriate commands [03:01] i've been using ps -e or top because this computer is severely underpowered and underpar, even with xubuntu [03:01] dude penba how do u access your conkryc [03:01] ok gonna venture into vmware or it's alternatives. btw, what are it's alternatives? [03:01] atcla_ubuntu: made sure its located at $HOME/.conky ? [03:01] arya [03:01] qemu? [03:01] aaa [03:01] kindofabuzz: qemu, VirtualBox [03:01] penba, how do i do that [03:01] atcla_ubuntu: sorry: $HOME/.conkyrc [03:01] kindofabuzz: sorry, I just joined. what are you trying to do? [03:01] though i'm kinda mad i couldnt get usb stuff to work with qemu [03:02] which is better? [03:02] firefox bogs this system down so much [03:02] bbrown-> mount them both, make sure the destination is as much as the source with dd command [03:02] bbrown, fdisk -l lists partitions [03:02] just move the file to your Home folder and name it .conkyrc [03:02] woah [03:02] kindofabuzz: question of "taste" I guess. [03:02] hey, here's my problem: I'm on a rez network on campus, with crappy DNS servers that go down all the time. Right now I'm using OpenDNS servers, but it's hardly a good solution because they're slow. I set up bind9 to create a local DNS cache for this precise situation, but it apparently didn't work as I found myself without an Internet connection. My question is, how do I set up bind9 correctly, to act as my primary DNS server that my compute [03:02] lotta people in here [03:02] penba, i dont think its [03:02] i'm using Hardy and it has too many problems, is there an easy way to downgrade back to Gusty? [03:02] what do i do [03:02] brunner, nothing yet, about to try qemu for the first time [03:02] Is there a way to kill the last session in firefox so it tries to load my homepage when it starts up? [03:02] badcarbine: system utilities and many programs store their executable in /bin, /sbin or /usr/bin. You can start from there and type "man command" to know more about a command ex.: man man [03:02] kindofabuzz: cool. good luck. [03:02] penba, what file from where ? [03:02] unop__, when I do fdisk; there aren't any partitions. They aren't in the /etc/fstab? [03:02] opendns isnt slow [03:02] kindofabuzz: I'm currently installing Gutsy onto a 500MB virtual disc in Vbox. Wonder if the base system will fit in :) [03:02] how do you remove a program that you've compiled and make installed? [03:02] bbrown, fdisk -l [03:03] make uninstall? [03:03] ok.. where in tar do you put the folder you'd like to extract something into? [03:03] make --help [03:03] unop__: it came up with nothing [03:03] jimiridge: that works? [03:03] jimiridge: it's not that slow, but obviously a local cache will be faster [03:03] i nano'd the fstab and I think you've got it... when I was in there fixing my UUID= I think the copy-paste screwed me up, the 'off the right side of the screen' stuff is gone, and it only pasted in the $ indicator of "more" text to scroll to. Will reboot to live cd to edit the fstab [03:03] atcla_ubuntu: copy the config file form the website you gave me, and copy it to a file called .conkyrc and put it in your home folderr [03:03] Bisclaveret: if you still have the source, make uninstall or make remove [03:03] ok who can help me? [03:03] bbrown, perhaps you need sudo, sudo fdisk -l [03:03] Kl4m: what if you don't? [03:03] oh [03:03] cant dnsmasq cache dns requests [03:03] yacc, i don't think it will, even server takes like a gig i think [03:03] jimiridge: and my ISP's DNS server, when it's up, would be in between In terms of speed [03:03] kindofabuzz: basesystem. [03:03] atcla_ubuntu: it is a pretty nice conky config. might use it myself [03:03] penba, so i need to create a text file ??? cuz all i see there is text [03:03] Im going back to the login screen after i login ..again and again [03:03] Im going back to the login screen after i login ..again and again [03:04] Bisclaveret: what is the program [03:04] jimiridge: I have no idea. someone in this channel suggested bind9 to me a couple of days ago [03:04] kyhiklgg [03:04] gotta reboot [03:04] Kl4m: i have several, but one is dosbox [03:04] that might be overkill [03:04] icanhasadmin, tar zxvf archive.tgz -C /path/to/dir [03:04] kindofabuzz: the stuff that debootstrap puts on the system. I'm just checking it out, and I need to extract telnetd and/or sshd for my personal experiments anyway. [03:04] penba, u mean this http://conky.sourceforge.net/amarok-ke49 ??? [03:04] kkj [03:04] atcla_ubuntu: yes, a text file [03:04] anyway read up on both a bit more to figure out what you need/want [03:04] using xubuntu 7.10 cant get my digital camera to read [03:04] ??? [03:04] Im going back to the login screen after i login ..again and again [03:04] i removed the sources becuase i need to save space. i had to remove openoffice, gimp, etc to add more space to my disk :p [03:04] kindofabuzz: as I said, considering my experiments, I'm almost sure that my ISP will love the fact that I use netboot ;) [03:05] i'm still looking for other nonessential things to remove [03:05] no, this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/conky-a-light-weight-system-monitor-for-ubuntu-linux-systems.html [03:05] anyone know why a drive mounted to /media/video would show only 50m available when the drive itself has atleast 8g? [03:05] penba, wait... im lost... there is no text file there is only text [03:05] tusk1113: hmm. [03:05] unop__: thank you again, sry [03:05] tusk1113: what app is showing that. [03:05] penba, what i did was : vi /home/atc/.conkryc and paste all that text into it [03:05] hi how are u? [03:05] Im going back to the login screen after i login ..again and again [03:06] HELP! [03:06] nick234: have some freakin patience, for crying out loud [03:06] tusk1113: DVB-S the "official guestimate" is 2GB per 1 hour, so 50m might suggest that the filesystem has a 2GB limit? *wonder* [03:06] why do u like gnome vs kubuntu ? why do u like Linux over freebsd and what is the fasted way to optimize ubuntu ? [03:06] I JUst Want HELP [03:06] atcla_ubuntu: yeah, that should work [03:06] yacc: gnome file explorer (or whatever) is reading it's properties as having 50, the partition tool (and my own memory of partitioning it) is where the 8 gig come from [03:06] tim__: optimize? [03:07] good night everyone, if I already installed an ubuntu LAMP server but forget select Mail server, what would be the apt-get instruction to install it from the CD? [03:07] nick234: well, i'ms ure you do, but repeating yuour question every 3sec isn't gonna make it happen faster [03:07] tusk1113: 50 minutes you mean? [03:07] make sure to copy only from "# UBUNTU CONKY" to "${execi 120 fortune -s | fold -w50}" [03:07] tim_, make a faster start up [03:07] yacc 50 megs [03:07] penba, but it doesnt [03:07] yacc, i mean make a faster startup ? [03:07] jimiridge: I found an article on ubuntugeek on dnsmasq that looks like what I need, thanks [03:07] tusk1113: 50MB free versus 5GB capacity? [03:07] tim__: I spend the optimal amount of time customizing ubuntu: zero minutes, by not worrying about optimzing its performance, and I'm quite content. [03:07] penba, u said check if file is in home dir, how do i do that [03:07] Anybody know where the instructions are to reinstall grub from the LiveCD? [03:07] atcla_ubuntu: thats ok, it is [03:08] yacc something like that, brand new install, nothing on the dirve [03:08] tim__: ubuntu should have a relative fast startup anyway, by default it does not start anything not needed. [03:08] atcla_ubuntu: your home dir is /home/"USER" [03:08] !grub > levander (see pm from ubotu) [03:08] penba, then how come it doesnt work [03:08] question **** What is the difference in terms performance and CPU load between VESA and RadeonHD ??? [03:08] atcla_ubuntu: dunno. what error do you get? [03:08] none [03:08] when i have a download share on my windows box, should not mount -t smbfs ///download /mnt/download -o username=,password= work?? [03:08] i run conky [03:08] tusk1113: run df in a terminal. [03:08] and it runs default [03:08] * yacc is not exactly the GUI type. [03:08] script doesnt apply [03:08] atcla_ubuntu: mmmm, weird. sorry, cant help you [03:08] do u know? [03:08] do i need to do something else to [03:09] tim__: often, the diminishing returns are not worth the effort required to optimize performance. Nor is the time you'd put into it. [03:09] yacc hmm the drive in question isn't even showing up [03:09] penba, how did u do [03:09] u used vi ? [03:09] or nano [03:09] tusk1113: then mount it? [03:09] yacc ok obviously user error [03:09] tusk1113: there are a number of issues here. [03:09] Piffer, try it this way, mount -t smbfs -o username=,password= ///download /mnt/download [03:09] Or let's call them "potential" issues. [03:09] penba, ok if i want to erase all text that is in conkryc how do i do that with nano ? [03:10] Most of them kind of "user mistakes", some potentially technically "bugs" or "misfeatures". [03:10] unop, tried that too... saying that there's no such share name.. odd [03:10] atcla_ubuntu, make a new file, overwrite conkyrc [03:10] atcla_ubuntu: it would be easier to just erase the file. do rm .conkyrc [03:10] penba, ok [03:10] yacc. . .it's saying that it's not in fstab, but i'm looking at it right now [03:11] Piffer, check the sharename via smgclient or smbget -- or copy the uri via nautilus [03:11] if it's mounted, than it should me visible in df/mount. [03:11] you probably need to mount it via the GUI. [03:11] good idea, thanks [03:11] The GUI makes dbus calls to hald to make it mount the media. [03:12] i think the 0 0 at the end of the fstab lines on a couple of partitions ended up being $ instead of 0 0 I changed them back and am rebooting now' [03:12] Hi there [03:12] New to linux [03:12] Not sure if there even exists a commandline tool to do that, well, I managed to do it once for curiosity by using python-dbus ;) [03:12] penab [03:12] penba [03:12] I have 256 mb ram [03:12] !who | yacc [03:12] yacc: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:13] sytem runs a bit too slow [03:13] Extravert = cool guy from hawaii [03:13] Nis2k: yes? [03:13] !enter | danny_ there's 1200 people here, you don't need to hit enter every 4 words [03:13] yacc so what do i need to be doing? [03:13] danny_ there's 1200 people here, you don't need to hit enter every 4 words: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:13] Nis2k: did it work? [03:13] penba, didnt work [03:13] oh sorry [03:13] will it be possible to set up qemu on my server through ssh, there is no moniter attached to it [03:13] penba, i tried some other things as well [03:13] Ah, a bot that tries to teach me how to IRC. Worse I guess the bot has been ircing slightly shorter than me *eg* [03:13] but i do have fluxbox on it [03:13] tusk1113: what to you want to do? [03:14] whats fluxbox ? [03:14] a gui [03:14] yacc i want the drive to automount to the mountpoint [03:14] kindofabuzz: hint: Worstcase you can just run a VNC X11 server. [03:14] yacc: is that all i need? [03:14] penba, i tried mv /etc/x11/xorg.conf2 /etc/x11/xorg.conf but it didnt work [03:14] Nis2k: sucks. Well, in that case try the permissions thing from the console. Do ls -l / to see if /usr has 755 permissions. if not, change them to 755 with chmod -R [03:15] kindofabuzz: well, VNC allows you run graphical programs easily on the server. [03:15] well, fixing fstab didn't help, i'm still read only. [03:15] penba, ? :) [03:15] penba, do you have a clue why the problem started [03:15] kindofabuzz: For legacy reasons I need an xchat running on my server all the time, so it runs against VNC. [03:15] yacc, yeah i think that's all i need, i don't really need a gui at all on server, just trying to learn VNC or whatever [03:15] atcla_ubuntu: what? sorry, didnt catch your message [03:16] penba, i erased conkryc whats next [03:16] ;D [03:16] when I log in, and do a 'mount' command it shows '/dev/hdc1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)' [03:16] Nis2k: maybe the installation of pidgin fucked up with the permissions of /usr [03:16] Nis2k: but I cant be sure [03:16] penba: language? [03:16] penba, i hope so [03:16] icanhasadmin: sorry [03:16] kindofabuzz, you don't even need VNC, you can forward X through SSH to have the remote apps display locally [03:16] messep up* [03:16] unop_: ok, using? [03:16] penba, i have to restart every time i have to try a new thing [03:16] penba, i hate that [03:17] brb [03:17] Nis2k: i know man, im sorry [03:17] $uptime [03:17] 19:10:57 up 46 days, 22:02, 2 users, load average: 0.67, 0.53, 0.47 [03:17] Nis2k: you could try using irssi form the console [03:17] Nis2k: that way you dont have to restart [03:17] kindofabuzz, like this -- ssh -X otherhost 'firefox' [03:17] penba, how do i change permission chmod -r 755 or what [03:17] penba, try to use what? [03:17] atcla_ubuntu, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxbox [03:17] Nis2k: yeah, should be chmod -R 755 /usr [03:17] hi, my menu bar keep disappearing, someone could help me with that [03:17] Nis2k: irssi, it is a console-based IRC client [03:18] tim_, i already did but thanx man :DD [03:18] !danger | Nis2k, penba [03:18] Nis2k, penba: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [03:18] unop: oh ok, well i wanted to actually have the system show up on my screen, wanna mess around with it [03:18] well actually is the title bar [03:18] like vmware or qemu? [03:18] penba, so how do i create new .conkryc ? [03:18] atcla_ubuntu: nano .conkyrc [03:18] im still waiting for next step :D [03:18] yacc ok found the issue, just a quick question, now that my fstab is correct, it will automount? [03:18] kindofabuzz, if you run that command, firefox shows up locally, not on the server [03:19] penba, now just paste that script ? [03:19] penba, so i guess i need to reboot huh? [03:19] and save with :wq ??? [03:19] unop, i wanna have my server gui in a screen on the local desktop, i guess i wasn't clear [03:19] Nis2k: yeah, for that you need to reinstall [03:19] hi [03:19] atcla_ubuntu: yes [03:19] does anyone know where I can download the drivers for the Canon iP1600 printer? [03:19] penba, for what? [03:20] penba, i need to format my hd? [03:20] hey aLL [03:20] **question*** if I already installed an ubuntu LAMP server but I forget to select the Mail server, what would be the apt-get instruction to install it from the CD? [03:20] zoris, use your camera as a massive storage device, that way you dont need any drivers [03:20] Zoris, is not it suported by Cups ? [03:20] ohhh no!! no more penba [03:20] what is Cups, and how would I use my camera? [03:20] mikev: tasksel .... uh, shoot. I dont know. taskel something [03:20] ah smbmount \\\\\\ /mnt/stuff -o username= worked fine. [03:21] Aguien que hables epañol? [03:21] try to mount your camera this way [03:21] ?

[03:21] kindofabuzz, well, firefox (a gui) appears on the localdesktop -- but i think you want to use XDMCP to connect to the remote desktop [03:21] agustin yo [03:21] jojojo [03:21] could '/dev/hdc1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)' indicate i need to fsck.ext3 the file system? would that lock it RO? [03:21] mikev: You can also just set it up package specific: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html [03:21] is there a flag to show status with 'dd' [03:21] Piffer, my eyes hurt -- you can do // instead of \\\\ [03:21] thnx flannel, lemme check that [03:21] quit [03:21] zoris try sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1/ /media/usb0/ [03:22] my camera won't work though [03:22] unop_ yeah i want a remote desktop, how can i enable xdmcp on the server without physically in front of it? [03:22] xanderp: It mounts it read-only if there are errors [03:22] zoris, you tried what i said? [03:22] or wait, don't i just do that from this local login? [03:22] mount: mount point /media/usb0/ does not exist [03:22] zoris, mhh wait a sec [03:23] Flannel: so fsck.ext3 is a good idea then? [03:23] zoris are you using ubuntu 7.10? [03:23] kindofabuzz, i think you'll need to configure the remote GDM to accept remote connections -- you have to do that first -- ssh -X otherhost 'gdmsetup' [03:23] no, I'm using Hardy Beta, but the printer didn't work in 7.10 either so I thought no need to go to beta channel [03:23] tim_, hi [03:23] xanderp: sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot, assuming you can touch /forcefsck [03:24] Zoris: Hardy support is in #ubuntu+1, thanks [03:24] kindofabuzz, then, on the localhost, run gdmflexiserver (logon screen) and connect to the remote host [03:24] tim_, i created .conkryc - CONKY , now i need to move to home i guess [03:24] how do i do that [03:24] zoris sorry man i work on ubuntu 7.10 [03:24] BRB [03:24] okay then [03:24] Flannel: if not, I can touch it in livecd... will try that. thanks [03:24] xanderp: You can fsck it with a liveCD [03:24] whoever suggested amarok for me as a media player yesterday, thanks! it's awesome, and now that my smb share is mounted locally i can play all my mp3 files too. [03:25] unop_: how do i run local and server? is that where qwmu comes in? [03:25] qemu [03:25] why everybody is leaving ???:( [03:25] People come and go all day.... [03:25] kindofabuzz, i dunno where qemu comes in from? why qemu? [03:25] i am having a problem with my titlebars not showing up [03:25] it's the rapture... [03:25] that's why i like chatzilla's conferance mode, i don't see all the enters and leaves [03:25] Exfil: metacity --replace [03:26] hmmm why am I still here... :( [03:26] what will that do? [03:26] unop_ i dunno, that's what someone suggested instead of vmware [03:26] Exfil: make them appear [03:26] how [03:26] Good evening I was wondering if anyone can help a sort of newb [03:26] im not a newbie, i want to know what its doing [03:26] kindofabuzz, no, you dont need qemu, [03:26] QDogg: what's your question? [03:26] Exfil: replacing your current (crashed prolly) window manager with the default gnome one [03:27] I think alacarte crashed on me and I have no programs under my "applications" tab [03:27] hey unop_ you mentioned gdmsetup, i have fluxbox on the server [03:27] I keep receiving the error "dependency is not satisfiable: libc6" however i have the most recent version of libc6 installed, does anyone know why i might be getting this error? [03:27] icanhasadmin, im trying to config "conky", i removed .conkryc, now i did: nano .conkryc , pasted script in it and saved. do i need to move .conkryc somewhere to a right dir cuz my "conky" is still default [03:28] kindofabuzz, what display manager does the server run? [03:28] fluxbox [03:28] kindofabuzz, no, thats a window manager [03:28] has anyone installed avant window navigator and how did you install it? [03:28] QDogg: have you tried restarting Alacarte? [03:28] unop_ok what's a display manager then? [03:28] the login manager [03:28] kindofabuzz, the display manager is usually the GUI logon screen, like the GDM on a desktop [03:29] xanderp=not so bright... i touched /forcefsck from the livecd, not /mnt/forcefsck... guh... now I have to do it again! :) [03:29] seamus7 I reinstalled it [03:29] unop_ oh i dunno, i've never seen the wm or dm on it, i just did a apt-get install fluxbox [03:30] it was headless [03:30] Have a question regarding Serial Ports and USB-to-Serial cable. [03:30] im trying to config "conky", i removed .conkryc, now i did: nano .conkryc , pasted script in it and saved. do i need to move .conkryc somewhere to a right dir cuz my "conky" is still default ?! :( [03:30] atcla_ubuntu: what in the world are you talking about? [03:30] about CONKY config [03:30] Sp3nc3: they generally don't work. that's all i know about them :P [03:30] the wierd thing is that the / file system mounts perfectly in the livecd, not RO. [03:30] prettyricky: enable backports in gutsy (I assume you're on gutsy) and then do this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator awn-manager [03:30] atcla_ubuntu, .conkyrc should be in ~/.conkyrc [03:30] atclua_ubuntu: have you killed and restarted conky? [03:31] Joeb454, how do i check ? [03:31] ptr771, how do i do that [03:31] how do I enable backports? [03:31] i think i did [03:31] cat ~/.conkyrc from a terminal [03:31] metacity --replace [03:31] Exfil: do you know what caused your window manager to shutdown/crash in the first place? [03:31] kindofabuzz, http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ [03:31] Exfil: and you're suppose to type that in terminal.. not irc... [03:31] Joeb454, cat: /home/atc/.: Is a directory [03:31] cat: conkryc: No such file or directory [03:32] Joeb454, sorry [03:32] prettyricky: It's under System/ Administration/ Software Sources ... make sure it's checked [03:32] icanhasadmin: I got the cable connected to /dev/ttyUSB0 right off the bat.. But I was having trouble configuring the baud rates and stuff. [03:32] space between . conk [03:32] ok [03:32] i fixed [03:32] im having probs with xubuntu not booting into x after "boot"...it seems to run on screen 7 but then closes imediately after it tries to run...i can manually run startxfce but i cannot type gdm..it says that its already running... [03:32] atcla_ubuntu: ps -ef | grep conky --> find its pid and then kill [03:32] Sp3nc3: oh then you're 85% of the way there :) [03:32] unop_: so does fluxbox even have a dm? [03:32] Joeb454, ok it showed me my script [03:32] whats next ? [03:32] icanhasadmin: now i need help on that other 15% [03:32] ptr771, killall conky or kill $(pidof conky) [03:32] where did you save your .conkyrc [03:32] Where can I find what is Ubuntu doing when I plug my AC adapter? [03:33] Joeb454, i dunno [03:33] anyone know exactly how to configure the baud rates and stuff for a serial port? [03:33] icanhasadmin [03:33] ;) [03:33] atcla_ubuntu, I dunno, you wanted to see your script [03:33] Lunks cat /var/log/messages, and also dmesg [03:33] kindofabuzz, it can, usually people who use fluxbox dont use a DM, so it depends [03:33] Joeb454, i did nano .conkryc [03:33] Sp3nc3: with setserial [03:33] ok lets try restart [03:33] QDogg: did you try deleting (or renaming) Alacarte's configuration file before reinstalling it? Sometimes that will fix whatever misconfiguration that might have crept in [03:33] Exfil: yes? [03:34] icanhasadmin: Im getting an error when i try metacity --replace, the error says unable to open X display [03:34] there is no such thing as backports in there>,.... === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [03:34] unop_: i think i will throw ubuntu-desktip on it just to make this easier [03:34] Exfil: oh that's bad. [03:34] what needs to be fixed [03:34] ptr771, how do i find its pid ? [03:34] kindofabuzz, errm, overkill, it's not necessary [03:34] i uninstalled compiz [03:34] anything to do with that [03:34] kindofabuzz, just read the howto, it's got everything you need to know [03:34] ok [03:34] kk [03:34] atcla_ubuntu: see what unop_ said to me, killall conky [03:34] kindofabuzz, http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ [03:35] unop_: got it [03:35] prettyricky: it's listed under the Updates Tab as 'Unsupported Updates (gutsy-backports)' [03:35] ：/mode abcnight  + i [03:35] Exfil: yes that's absolutely the problem. join #compiz-fusion and we'll work on it with people who know what they are doing :P [03:35] atc@atc-ubundu:~$ killall conky [03:35] forcefsck didn't work... what about doing fsck.ext3 /dev/hdc1 from the livecd? [03:35] conky: no process killed [03:35] ok it was checked [03:36] prettyricky: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator awn-manager [03:36] im giving up [03:36] atcla_ubuntu: can you start conky ? [03:36] yea [03:37] prettyricky: AWN themes here: http://www.queervisions.com/arch/2007/10/awn_avantwindow.html [03:37] I would be so screwed if I only had one pc. how the heck do people troubleshoot machines that can't boot if they can't get online to ask questions/research/google? sad sad sad... [03:37] it says broken packages when I sudo [03:37] ptr771, but script doesnt load [03:38] Test - anyone able to see my message? [03:38] ptr771, nvm, enough for today [03:38] i dont wanna get pissed [03:38] CodyT07, yes [03:38] atcla_ubuntu: maybe some issues with your script? [03:38] ptr771, i dont think so [03:39] Thank you, atcla [03:39] with me applying script yea [03:39] fsck.ext3 shows my / as 'clean' but it's booting RO. What's next? [03:39] prettyricky: oh sorry .. I use the development version which isn't broken ... let me get you the info [03:39] thanks! [03:39] ptr771, ty for your help [03:39] enough for today [03:39] unop_: : see the thing is, it says to setup X, but i don't even have a monitor on the server [03:39] atcla_ubuntu: np [03:41] kindofabuzz, you've installed fluxbox, so you have X [03:42] holy join/part batman! [03:42] actually i don't even know if i got fluxbox setup right since i can't see it [03:42] Question: When i start up my computer instead of getting my normal log in screen i get a black screen with my mouse pointer on waiting mode, any one knows how to fix this? [03:42] unop_and kindofabuzz , fluxbox runs on top of x [03:42] is start_fluxbox in your path? [03:42] ? [03:42] i just did a apt-get install fluxbox on the server [03:43] yeah i know [03:43] root partition in fstab had option of default instead of defaults, rebooting to see if that fixed anything [03:43] i'm just ying to fiure out how to set up x through ssh [03:43] How can I make Vim my default text editor? [03:43] kindofabuzz, well, thats what you are doing now, testing fluxbox out, but you need to have this setup before you can do that [03:43] Question: When i start up my computer instead of getting my normal log in screen i get a black screen with my mouse pointer on waiting mode, any one knows how to fix this? [03:43] * Sp3nc3 depress about not knowing what to do with the USB-to-Serial cable [03:43] oh doublecheck /etc/ssh/sshd_cononfig [03:44] Devourer, export EDITOR=$(which vim) [03:44] can anyone help me? [03:44] Devourer: if you mean globally, with the update-alternatives command [03:44] Hello All, The Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5418 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless PCI on a MacBook 2.16ghz. running Ubuntu 7.10, Are there any tutorials on getting it(The wireless network card) to work ? I'll really appreciate the info.. [03:45] nks_: i believe that card is supported by the madwifi drivers [03:45] unop_, can I be the terminal based vim that I use? [03:45] huzzah! it was the default instead of defaults in fstab that had me read only! i'm back in business! [03:45] thanks everyone [03:45] prettyricky: I suggest following this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981 [03:45] xdg - Wikipedia: "The X Desktop Group, the former name of freedesktop.org" It has left a lot of traces in Gnome. -- What has the 'X Desktop Group' been concerned with mainly? [03:46] xanderp: You can change mount option on fly like: sudo mount -o option-to-change-here,remount /mountpoint eg: sudo mount -o rw,remount / [03:46] ok thanks for all your help will try it! [03:46] Devourer: you want to set it globally, or just for your user? [03:46] tritium, just for my user I guess. [03:46] now back to my original issue of getting my nvidia to dual-display... [03:46] tritium, it said this, Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal. :( [03:47] co_scorpion === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [03:47] tritium, how do I fix that? [03:47] Devourer: OK. Then use unop_'s method, but you'll want to include that in your .bashrc [03:47] \ server irc.dal.net [03:47] genii: nice one to know... making note of that. [03:47] tritium, oh. What do I put in .bashrc? [03:47] Devourer: the export command unop_ gave you [03:47] anyone have a a$$ kicking vimrc that can share? [03:48] icanhasadmin-I'd tried madwifi with ndiswrapper and was unsuccessful ! Would you happen to have an instructional address? [03:48] nks_: you mean a way to download it? [03:48] tritium, where is .bashrc? [03:48] yes [03:48] Sp3nc3, http://tinyurl.com/35oufz [03:49] Devourer, ~/.bashrc [03:49] Devourer: in your home directory [03:49] When a new ubuntu version gets released, does it take the same amount of time to download and install as it did downloading the first time? [03:49] CodyT07, yes [03:49] CodyT07, probably not [03:49] unop_, so I just put the line export EDITOR=$(vim) somewhere in .bashrc? Like, maybe the bottom? [03:50] CodyT07, it of course depends on how fast your connection is [03:50] nks_: 1 second, i'm actually using them [03:50] Devourer, hey, get the command right [03:50] 1.2 Mbs takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to download ubuntu completely [03:50] Devourer, export EDITOR=$(which vim) [03:50] Devourer: anywhere is fine. Then be sure to "source ~/.bashrc" [03:50] ok, thank you..I'll wait.. [03:50] CodyT07 sounds about right, aint so much is it? [03:50] unop_, oh, it needs the which? What does which do? [03:50] tritium, what does source do? [03:51] Devourer: $(which vim) expands to /usr/bin/vim, so you can use that instead [03:51] which vim finds the path to vim [03:51] Svenstaro you kind of lost me [03:51] Ohhhh, yeah. :) [03:51] seamus7------->thats weird no go., I still get broken packages [03:51] nks_: ok my firefox decided to crash, 1 more sec :P [03:51] ok [03:51] Devourer: essentially "reloads" your .bashrc for your current bash session [03:51] CodyT07, the mirror servers will be pretty busy on release day, you will want to use a torrent to get hardy as fast as possible [03:52] tritium, I see. [03:52] I mean will it take an hour and 30 minutes to download even if the servers are getting hit hard, or will it just download the changed files only? [03:52] Devourer: if it were me, I'd use update-alternatives instead [03:52] if the servers arent* [03:52] ok trying vncserver, i connect so the server with xvncviewer but all i get is a flashing cursor with some info on top [03:53] tritium, what does that do? [03:53] prettyricky: hmmm .. make sure any previous attempts at installing awn are uninstalled first .. you must be using a composite window manager like Compiz Fusions ... read further into the forum and see if others are having the same problem ... ??? [03:53] tritium, but other users on his system might be emacs-lovers :) [03:53] unop_: I'd be willing to bet he's the only user on his system [03:53] tritium, it's true. [03:53] Devourer: changes the default for several targets listed in /etc/alternatives/ [03:54] CodyT07 you will have to download the same amount of data as you did when downloading any other ubuntu release [03:54] tritium, thats not the point tho, why change something globablly when it can easily and _safely_ be done within the user's environment [03:54] tritium, how do I do it? [03:54] I didnt uninstall cause I had already tried installing.... Is there a way to remove everything I just did? There is nothing there stating how to uninstall first [03:54] unop_: it's up to his preference. I'm pointing out both options [03:54] the eternal question -- weither to dist-upgrade or fresh install [03:55] I C, thank you svens [03:55] unop_: and both options are safe [03:55] I want to link a directory from /spare into my home directory, whats the best way to do so? [03:55] <|lilox|> hi, I have problems when I try to install shake software I read https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/7185 and I have followed the steps, and i have a message of error [03:55] CodyT07 I really do recommend using a torrent on release day, it will be fast :) [03:55] can someone help me get dvd playback on ubuntu gutsy, any help is appreciated, thanks [03:55] I can't wait until my ubuntu cd arrives [03:55] hey all [03:55] hey xenis69 [03:55] can some one help me with a dhcp server question [03:56] CodyT07 are you traffic limited? [03:56] my internet is set for unlimited [03:56] xenis69, sure what is it? [03:56] <|lilox|> when I put csh shake in the command line >>>>>>>> lilox@ANI:~/shake/bin$ csh shake [03:56] <|lilox|> /home/lilox/shake/bin/shkx.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:56] tritium, update-alternatives requires sudo, and anything that requires sudo requires you excercise caution, so how can that be safe? i mean, he could mess up on the command and have something else going [03:56] No subnet declaration for eth0 (192.168.1.50). [03:56] but i want the dhcp to run on eth1 [03:56] found something to remove it thanks [03:56] xenis69, 255.255.255.0 will work for you as a subnet === Charitwo is now known as kirby [03:56] anyone [03:56] unop_: using sudo is not inherently unsafe. [03:57] phuzion, whats your issue? [03:57] tritium, right exactly but that doesn't make it safe tho [03:57] my bad. whats the best way to link a directory into another directory so that FTP can read it and copy files? [03:57] tritium, or rather, it doesnt make what you use with sudo safe [03:57] nks_: I'm really sorry, this is the best i can find: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo [03:57] i have the dhcpd.conf file setup and it works if i use eth0 ips [03:57] unop_: setting the default editor with update-alternatives is not unsafe === ZehRique is now known as ZehRique_OFF [03:57] phuzion, use a symlink [03:58] tritium, I'd like it to be where I double click on something and it opens up the files in Vim. :D [03:58] phuzion, for ftp you should probably use mount --bind [03:58] but then when i change them to the eth1 ips it stops working [03:58] no problem and thank you for the link... [03:58] xenis69, you need to tell it to listen on eth1 too :) === ZehRique_OFF is now known as ZehRique [03:58] nks_: let me know if you run into any hassles [03:58] <|lilox|> somebody help me [03:58] okie so how do i tell it to use eth1? [03:58] Devourer: if you wish, "sudo update-alternatives --config editor" [03:59] when i try to go under administrator mode in KDE Control Module it tells me "Changes in this section requires root access. Click the "Administrator Mode" button to allow Modifications" [03:59] and i cant click it [03:59] ok thank you [03:59] Devourer: or, just use unop_'s approach. Your call. [03:59] |lilox|: just ask, if anyone knows the answer, they will === ZehRique is now known as ZehRique_OFF [03:59] gralco, log in to X as root and do wahtever you need to do === ZehRique_OFF is now known as ZehRique [04:00] <|lilox|> yeap, already ask [04:00] Devourer: as far as double-clicking is concerned, that's a gnome setting, which either approach doesn't address. [04:00] xenis69 put this into your dhcpd.conf "INTERFACES="eth1"" without the wrapper quotes [04:00] MasterShrek, in the log in screen? [04:00] |lilox| reask, this is a busy channel [04:00] gralco, sure [04:00] Devourer, see the first comment to this blog - http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-change-the-default-text-editor-on-ubuntu-with-nautilus [04:00] tritium, awwww.... how do I change that?

(would that mess up GRUB?) [04:08] anyone know which ebuild has lspci in it? [04:08] woah, wrong channel sorry lol [04:08] Rolcol, it wouldnt, [04:08] Devourer, vim.desktop isn't a valid desktop file, you need to make one [04:08] so why else wouldn't lspci pick up a card [04:08] Rolcol, you will want to regrow the partition after you deleted windows' one [04:08] MasterShrek: wrong distro also ;) [04:08] Rolcol: well i'd suggest you remove them from menu.lst after... [04:08] unop_, what's a desktop file?! [04:09] tritium, yea, wrong channel :) [04:09] Alright. Thanks! [04:09] Rolcol, to regrow the partition, use a live cd like gparted iso, because it needs to be done offline, without ubuntu running [04:09] Devourer, it's a file that contains info for a launcher, the command to execute, the icon, help hints, etc [04:10] <|lilox|> thanks friend [04:10] unop_, oh... Awesome. Where are they located? [04:10] |lilox|: np [04:10] Svenstaro, doesn't ubuntu's live CD include gparted? [04:10] Rolcol, oh yes of course it does, it can do that too :) [04:11] Devourer, you can find out -- use one and follow the syntax to create one for your need - local *.desktop [04:11] Devourer, err, locate *.desktop [04:11] Rolcol, be aware that moving and resizing big partitions can take several hours, if your comp crashes in the middle of that your partitions will become corrupted [04:11] <|lilox|> nith, You have solved my problem, thanks [04:11] |lilox|: not a prob [04:11] Rolcol: regarding your /part message, how does one wonder (think, ponder) into a black hole? [04:12] My wireless adapter isn't beind detected or given power by Kubuntu - Can anyone help? [04:12] lol that dhcp proggy [04:12] tritium, it's an inside joke on another IRC server. [04:12] is for gui [04:12] sure is [04:12] And thanks for everything, Svenstaro. [04:13] xenis69, you need command line? then do sudo dpkg-recondigure dhcp3-server [04:13] Is there any module or package I can use to make it work? >.< [04:13] Rolcol np [04:13] need cli [04:13] Devourer, an important note, your command in the .desktop file should be -- x-terminal-emulator -e "vim %s" [04:13] awsome [04:13] iphone [04:13] unop_, alright. [04:13] any? [04:14] command not found [04:14] Hello, I want to remove the permission for sudo from regular users. What do I have to do? Is there a possibility that it may cause some problems? [04:14] Muhammad_Saad: shouldn't cause problems, in fact i'd encourage it. [04:14] Muhammad_Saad, you need to edit the /etc/sudoers file and revoke their permissions [04:14] xenis69, I suck i spelled it wrong, sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server [04:15] My wireless adapter isn't beind detected or given power by Kubuntu - Can anyone help? :o? [04:15] ？ [04:15] XD your my hero [04:15] xenis69 sure am :) [04:15] 什么呢 [04:15] auteuor: yeah.. totally [04:15] what? [04:16] !jp | auteuor [04:16] auteuor: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [04:16] unop_: you sure that was japanese and not chinese? [04:16] 怎么出来鸟语了 ？ [04:16] unop_: actually i'm almost positive that's chinese. [04:16] looks like japanese to me [04:17] auteuor, what language is that dude? [04:17] unop_: by almost positive i mean like 99.9 percent. [04:17] !cn | auteuor [04:17] auteuor: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk === _max is now known as max [04:17] thk [04:17] hoho [04:18] unop_: i only say because i know a bit of japanese and i didn't recongnize any of that ;) [04:18] my eyes hurt reading that [04:18] icanhasadmin: unop_: I have seen that some applications and applets work through sudo. I felt that because when I set a password for root, some applications and applets started to ask me to provide a password and did not work with root password, instead they worked with the regular user account password. [04:18] Question: when i turn on my computer instead of getting my log-in screen i get a black screen like if the log screen is waiting to be loaded but it never loads, anyone knows how to fix this? [04:18] is dhcp and dhcp3 the same ?? [04:18] Nis2k, what video driver [04:19] card/etc [04:19] Nis2k, that *may* be desired, have you had installed ubuntu for long? it may be checking your filesstem [04:19] jimiridge, nvidia-glx [04:19] as in a service [04:19] xenis69, no, the dhcp package refers to an older version, of course use YOUR package version in dpkg-reconfigure [04:19] open up a console CTRL+ALT+F2 [04:19] Muhammad_Saad, if you've already enabled root - then you can use su and the root password [04:19] if lspci gives me 2:0a.0 for a vidcard should my xorg device entry be "PCi:2:0a:0"? [04:20] cheers folks [04:20] will ahh so i should apt get remove dhcp then? [04:20] xenis69, not at all, tho I recommend the newer version of dhcp [04:20] Nis2k, feel free to /query me [04:20] !s dhcp [04:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about s dhcp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:20] whats the package command for ubotu again? [04:20] jimiridge, i just went to ubuntu-es and the man in charge told me to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, did that and now, i still have the same problem but now i cant do ctrl-alt-f1 [04:20] Svenstaro: info [04:21] !info dhcp [04:21] Is Synaptic supposed to ask for an Ubuntu CD every time I install a package? [04:21] aslong as you have a console its allgood [04:21] Bitmess, in the repository options, disable CD [04:21] Bitmess: exactly what Svenstaro just said [04:21] tritium, it doesnt want to talk to me [04:21] jimiridge, i dont have a console, i just have a black screen with my mouse pointer in waiting mode [04:22] ubotu: test [04:22] Failed. [04:22] Svenstaro, :) sounds like I should remove the CD from the repositories. Thanks [04:22] well i cant help you help yourself if you cant get a console up [04:22] xenis69, I recommend you install dhcp3-server instead of dhcp-server, it will give you less trouble [04:22] Svenstaro: it's nothing personal [04:22] tritium, he may not like me [04:22] jimiridge, i can get the console by starting up in recovery mode [04:22] !helpersnack [04:22] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [04:23] ps aux comes up with the dhcp3 sevice [04:23] Okay maybe he does [04:23] ok then do that [04:23] jimiridge, do what? [04:23] recovery mode [04:23] and then type what? [04:24] checkout the /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:24] what should i see? [04:24] so now on reboot will i have to reconfiger to eth1 again? [04:24] cat /var/log/Xorg.log |grep EE [04:24] or grep WW [04:24] xenis69, the changes will be permanent [04:24] *over exited [04:24] you can see a cursor though right? [04:24] jimiridge: that's my favorite command for troubleshooting ;) [04:25] yeah i see i but only in waiting mode [04:25] the guy in ubuntu-es made my problem worse [04:25] chears for the help ... im such a linux nood .... all in good time tho [04:25] weird thats never really happened to me [04:26] i reconfigured xorg, and now im not able to get the console from the black screen by pressing ctrl+alt+f1 [04:26] i've had blank screen and just plain hell getting nvidia to work [04:26] hehee [04:26] ctrl alt f7 [04:26] i have a black screen [04:27] i thought you said you couls see a mouse pointer? [04:27] yes i can [04:27] but in a black screen [04:27] does the mouse freeze? [04:27] no [04:27] i can move it [04:27] so is pci:2:0a:0 a valid busid? [04:27] dose any one here want to buy a cisco 24 port 10/100 managable switch? [04:27] Anyone know why after I installed php 5.2.5 it still shows up as 5.2.3 in phpinfo() ? [04:28] i need gigabit [04:28] xenis69: omg I've been wanting one of those for years! [04:28] Coops, restrart apache [04:28] plus, the ubuntu-es guy banned me [04:28] Svenstaro: already did [04:28] well checkout the Xorg.log [04:29] ok i made a xorg backup anyway === crd1b is now known as crdlb === anja is now known as samborambo [04:29] xenis69, please know that advertising for stuff you want to sell should rather be done outside this channel [04:29] ok i need to reboot my comp, i booted from the live cd [04:29] ill be back in a couple of mins [04:29] jimiridge, dont go please [04:29] heh [04:29] Coops, check the modules symlink, the old php may still be linked [04:30] x can be a $#@% sometimes [04:30] my appoligys [04:30] Svenstaro: Where can I find it? [04:30] BRB [04:30] You mean the .so? [04:30] coops, yes [04:30] Svenstaro: Where should it be linked to now? [04:31] coops, php5.load should read "LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so" [04:31] coops, of course, at that position the updated libphp5.so should be, if it is not the package maintainer might have screwed up [04:32] Svenstaro: Yea, that's where it points [04:32] Coops, did you install CGI version or module one? [04:32] I see that /usr/local/bin/php is 5.2.5 but /usr/bin/php is 5.2.3 [04:32] Svenstaro: I believe the module one [04:33] what is the command to view hardware ? eg pci slots [04:33] lspci [04:33] xenis69 lshw [04:33] thats the one [04:33] so is pci:2:0a:0 a valid busid? that's what lspci is giving me for a video card [04:33] Brother printer worked fine but is not working anymore. i have tried both system as well as CUPS through Firefox. nothing happens. === shin is now known as ffds [04:33] chears [04:34] Coops, read up on the update-alternatives command [04:35] printer help anyone. my printer is not printing [04:35] HELP!

Would I have to create ns.haryoh.com or use my FQDN ns? [04:36] ghostnob: you need to read the manual properly, it's too easy to make mistakes otherwise.

It seems that when i go onto myspace and look at profiles that have certain themes i cannot click on Send Message, Add Friend, Instant Message, Picutes.

Please help [04:42] bookmark: system / preferences / keyboard shortcuts [04:42] Is there a php 5.2.5 deb for gutsy? [04:42] I've mistakenly overwritten a partition table with the wrong information. Is there an easy way to fix this or do I have to know the start/end cylinders, etc? The disk had two NTFS partitions, if that's important. [04:42] the documentaiton says ns.example.com.... my domain is haryoh.com; would I have to use my nameservers where it says @ IN NS ns.example.com? this is my first trial in setting up a public server, whatever mistake I make now, will help me when I want to set it up in future... HELP please... [04:42] Coops: apt-cache search for it [04:43] jimiridge? [04:43] donkey7186: chances are it's just a difference between the way firefox and IE render web pages [04:43] ye [04:43] tritium: I'm not seeing one for 5.2.5 [04:43] didnt woek [04:43] didnt work [04:43] no console? [04:43] it said no such file or directory [04:43] Crysm: grub-install should re-write the partition table, but that in turn may screw up your windows bootloader etc... [04:43] nightytweek i dont think so because i use firefox on windows as well and it works [04:43] ?well ya screwed something up then [04:43] i didnt [04:44] ghostnob, replace all instances of example.com with haryoh.com [04:44] nighty tweek do you think that there is a plugin or something that is not activated on firefox? [04:44] ok.. thanks... [04:44] well how, i havent been messing with anything i shoulnt mess with [04:44] ghostnob: your ns is ns54.domaincontrol.com [04:44] donkey7186: Hmm... can you give me an example of one? [04:44] yes hold please and ill get you a link [04:44] jimiridge please help, is there anything else i can do? [04:44] yes... so i should use that? [04:44] JohnRobert: I don't mind the bootloader being messed up, as that's what I was trying to fix in the first place, but will that preserve file structure? I don't have any backups of one of the partitions. [04:44] ghostnob: unless the ns administrator delegate it to your server, you can't do anything [04:45] so how do you do all that nifty 3d shit? [04:45] http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=P5GD1-FM2-BULK <-- does this board only support DDR-400 [04:45] myspace.com/donkey7186 [04:45] can anyone tell [04:45] hey jimiridge i think my priovate chat isnt working [04:45] bookmark compiz? install the right driver (if there's one for your vid card) and enable it [04:45] Crysm: the data will still be there, grub-install only puts grub into the boot sector. I'm fairly sure grub-install also writes the partition table.. [04:45] is compviz already installed? [04:46] or do i need to install that [04:46] like I say, I'm only suggesting that's what you look into, don't just grub-install as it might make things worse [04:46] dual booting? [04:46] which means i will have to let my domain name provider know(godaddy)... should I just use DYNAMIC DNS then? [04:46] How do i add shortcut to TERMINAL in xfce menu ??!!! [04:46] hey jimiridge my private chat isnt working [04:46] bookmark it's installed by default. What vid card do you have? lspci | grep -i vga will tell you exactly [04:46] nickrud: thanks [04:46] ok [04:46] donkey7186: I've requested to add you as a friend so I can see your profile [04:46] kk hold please [04:46] jimiridge, anything else i can do? [04:46] nickrud: i have a geforce6200 [04:47] are you logged in with a bash shell? [04:47] nighty tweek i accepted [04:47] pff i dunno what a bash shell is [04:47] nickrud: what if i just want to run straight debian, can i still use compviz with another window manager? [04:47] or is ubuntu a window manager? [04:47] How do i add shortcut to TERMINAL in xfce menu ??!!! [04:47] bookmark: compiz is a window manager [04:47] ah [04:47] Nis2k james@Acer-4315:~/openmoko/openmoko$ <-- bash shell [04:47] bookmark theoretically (I don't have nvidia) all you have to do is system->admin->restricted manager , and log out and back and go to system-:>prefs->appearance effects tab [04:47] bookmark: gnome is a desktop. metacity is the default WM, compiz the fancy one. [04:48] it said something like root@eduardo.desktop [04:48] bookmark haven't run debian in years, not familiar with what's in sid (and probably not in stable) [04:48] yes that is a shell and prolly bash [04:48] donkey7186: I see what the problem is. There's a bug in the Flash plugin for Firefox which causes flash applets to appear over top of everything else, even if they are supposed to display underneath things [04:48] which brings me to another question [04:49] nighty tweek so is there something that i can do to fix it? [04:49] how the heck do you exit X? [04:49] i tried the other day [04:49] Nis2k, /join #nixtutor [04:49] MightyTweek: yeah, that's an annowing bug [04:49] donkey7186: You can use Adblock to disable individual flash objects to work around the problem [04:49] i cant think with all these lines going by [04:49] nighty tweek how do i do that? [04:49] jimiridge, no such channel [04:49] like exit xwindows to a console [04:49] donkey7186: one sec [04:49] Ok I am new to ubuntu. I dont know what version I need to download.. does the desktop include the server stuff... [04:50] bookmark ctl-alt-f2 , login, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to get X back. clt-alt-f7 if needed to see the gui login [04:50] ok [04:50] bookmark: ctrl alt f1? [04:50] bookmark: you can hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill X, which then restarts because GDM is running. Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6] gets you to a console. `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop` will kill gdm. [04:50] yeah, what he said lol [04:50] Niveous you can certainly install whatever server stuff you want on the desktop [04:50] ok now back to the nvidia question [04:50] from a console you need not push CTRL ALT F7... ALT F7 works ;) [04:51] if i'm running the live cd and it asks for a restart can i do that? [04:51] bookmark no [04:51] to GET to a console CTRL ALT + F1-F6 is needed... to get back to GUI just ALT + F7 [04:51] heheh [04:51] damn so ill have to wait for my new harddrive to test the nvidia drivers [04:51] no big whoop [04:51] mighty tweek: should i go into sunaptic and add the program mozilla-firefox-adblock??? [04:53] Ok So I download the desktop verson... anyone know what is one of the faster servers are. [04:53] are there any drivers for the dell dimension internal card reader? [04:53] donkey7186: adblockplus.org [04:53] mighty tweek: should i go into sunaptic and add the program mozilla-firefox-adblock??? [04:53] Niveous I use the torrent myself, generally quick enough. [04:54] donkey7186: I've looked again at that page, and I'm not sure Adblock will fix the problem after all. The thing is, if you hide the flash applet you won't be able to see the links to click on them [04:54] kindofbuzz: should i go into synaptic and add the program mozilla-firefox-adblock? [04:54] Is there a utility I can use to edit my partition table without changing any other sectors? I've got a bad table and I'm trying to regain access to the first partition on the drive without losing file data. [04:55] hey guys, i just installed GKrellM, but i cant seem to find it now. i checked on the wiki it says to go to Applications > System Tools > GKrellM, but i dont have a System Tools menu in my Applications Menu [04:55] donkey7186: No. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 [04:56] I'm about to break the Approvals Database... [04:56] hey all [04:57] If anyone has any urgent business on the approvals database, do it now... I'm going to upload some massive changes, and things might not be working tomorrow during the day. [04:57] anyone had a problem with ubuntu not installing form the cd/dvd [04:57] hmm ok Nickrud ... what is this one ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent .... [04:57] or should i get ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [04:57] genni: how do i get all the webpages to stop blocking? [04:58] Niveous alternate doesn't have the livecd , desktop does. alternate will install on more machines, and gives more control over the install. [04:58] Niveous alternate also uses a text install screen, it's not as simplified as the install from the desktop cd. [04:59] ok so I want alternate... dont want livecd.... [04:59] it for a server I am doing up [04:59] Niveous I always use the alternate myself ;) [04:59] donkey7186: once you've installed adblock, you'll see a tab on each Flash applet on a webpage you visit that says "Block", click on that. [04:59] for someone [04:59] donkey7186: but like I say, on those Myspace pages, when you block the applet, you won't be able to see the links to click on them [05:00] Niveous there's a server disk as well, doesn't have the gui stuff and more server stuff installed by default. [05:00] you're probably best to wait until the bug is fixed [05:00] will I need the gui stuff... is it that hard to install it later [05:00] mighty tweek so all the items that are block i need to unblock? [05:01] donkey7186: by default it should only be blocking ads [05:01] you shouldn't need to unblock anything [05:01] Hi, I've searched quite a bit online for a solution to this problem but found nothing. I have an NTFS external usb hard drive. When I plug it in, nautilus pops up a window and it seems like it is mounted, but I don't see the files on it. [05:01] oh crap [05:01] maybe I should post this in ubuntu+1 [05:01] adblock is great, I have like 9 rules and almost never see an add [05:02] is there something like another web site program i can download where it doesnt block them? cause i have no idea what to do with this adblock to make it from blocking everything. cause i need to be able to click the links! [05:02] donkey7186: what is it blocking that you need to click on? [05:02] donkey7186 edit the blocking rules [05:02] like the add as friend. message, instant message [05:02] how do i edit blocking rules? [05:03] nickrud .. so is it hard to install the gui stuff after i install server edtion [05:03] donkey7186 tools->addblock , right click and select delete, then apply [05:03] Niveous yes, very simple to add the gui. As easy as adding the server stuff to a guified version [05:04] nickrud there are no rules to delete [05:04] hehe [05:04] ok thanks nickrud maybe back later [05:04] are you ready [05:04] Niveous as in installing the ubuntu-desktop package will install the desktop with openoffice and a bunch of other stuff [05:04] donkey7186 very strange that it's blocking anything then [05:04] is there a way you can try and look at it? [05:05] donkey7186: adblock isn't blocking the links. If you've told it to block the flash applet, you just can't see the links. See, what's happening is the theme makes the links invisible and puts them over the text in the flash applet, to make it look like you're clicking on the flash applet [05:05] donkey7186 what exactly is getting bocked? [05:05] ah, myspace crap [05:06] mighty tweek so how can i get it to be able to click the links? or do i have to download a new program [05:06] How do I go about changing a volume descriptor of a fat32 external disk, it is mounted as "disk" and I would like to change it to something else? [05:06] mighty tweek cause im just using my myspace as an example. i have friends with the myflash page theme and i cant message them [05:06] donkey7186: you will probably have to wait until the bug in Flash is fixed [05:06] man I hate thinking.... [05:07] mzuverink right click the incon on the desktop, select properties, and the volumes tab. Click the triangle next to settings, and give it a name. Do not use a path, only a single name, like fat32 [05:07] donkey7186: or install a userscript to block custom myspace themes, like this one: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/997 [05:07] I dunno how adblock works but couldnt you give myspace permission to play flash aps? [05:07] mzuverink erm, the place you give it a name is the mountpoint [05:07] nickrud, thanks, Ill give it a try [05:08] Allyn: the problem is that there's a bug in Flash that makes Flash applets appear over top of everything when they aren't supposed to, which is breaking this particular MySpace theme [05:08] mighty tweek how do i install that userscript [05:08] hi all, is the libiconv still in the Ubuntu's repos? [05:09] !find libconv [05:09] Found: sh: [05:09] Well that bites I guess if you need to use MySpace [05:09] donkey7186: first install Greasemonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 [05:09] !find libiconv | nicle [05:09] nicle: Found: sh: [05:10] mighty tweek ok that is installed [05:10] now what === nickrud is now known as nikrud === ubuntu is now known as wargasim [05:10] Hi. How can I monitor my CPU temp in ubuntu? Thanks ;) [05:10] donkey7186: then click on the "Install Script" link at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/997 [05:10] Hello, all! [05:11] mighty tweek now it should be fine? [05:11] : libconvert-asn1-perl - Perl module for encoding and decoding ASN.1 data structures [05:11] libconvert-ber-perl - Perl implementation of Basic Encoding Rules (BER) [05:11] libconvert-binhex-perl - Perl5 module for extracting data from macintosh BinHex files [05:11] libconvert-tnef-perl - Perl module to read TNEF files [05:11] libconvert-units-perl - Perl module for performing unit conversions [05:11] libconvert-uulib-perl - Perl interface to the uulib library (a.k.a. uudeview/uuenview) [05:11] nicle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:11] donkey7186: it should be, just testing it myself here [05:11] kk [05:12] should i remove adblock? [05:12] so what does it MEAN when you get lspci reporting bus of 2:0x.0 where x= a b or c depending on pci slot? [05:12] : I think these is not the libiconv of C library [05:12] I have installed ubuntu as a dual boot, winxp, then ubuntu, However, when i ran the initial setup, after i took the livecd out and the isntallation was complete, It booted straight into windows firsts [05:12] can someone tell me if 60degrees celsius is too hot for my CPU temperature? [05:12] please ;) [05:12] previously i had something like 2:9.0 for the same slot with a different card [05:12] donkey7186: you can, but only if you like seeing ads on web pages :) [05:13] i usually dont get ads lol [05:13] Then I ran Acronis in windows to set the Ubuntu drive active so that it can boot, Now, I get this error loading system. [05:14] Hello? [05:14] donkey7186: looks like I spoke too soon. You'll still need to use Adblock to disable the flash applets [05:14] Newb here....looking for some serious help :) [05:14] 02:0c.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1) [05:14] what do i use to play swf files locally? [05:14] Then i rechecked my bios and made sure that it's booting from the right partition and set it as boot 1 and i still can not boot into ubuntu or windows now. Can anyone help. [05:14] shouldn't it be like 02:9.0 or something? [05:14] well i still cant click the add message [05:15] mighty i still cant click the links [05:15] how can i reset my grub, loader [05:16] donkey7186: sorry man, that's about all I can suggest... [05:17] mighty tweek thank you for trying though. how can i get rid of what i downloaded [05:17] Hello [05:17] donkey7186: you can remove the add-ons from the Tools>Add-Ons menu [05:19] I have a GMA965 video card. Can someone help me find the driver for it?????? I cannot use any 3d effects :( .............. [05:20] what do i use to play swf files locally? [05:20] is there a way to make thunderbird have the google type reply system? like forum style reply posts? [05:21] No helping going on right now huh.... [05:21] ogre: you should be able to open them up in Firefox [05:21] MightyTweek: there is no standalone player? [05:22] ogre iirc mplayer worked [05:22] ogre: I believe mplayer and xine will both play them as well [05:23] if not, ffmpeg can convert flv to mpeg [05:23] mplayer plays everything. I think it would play a record if I could hook it up to a computer [05:23] hehe [05:23] nife: lol [05:24] :-) [05:25] hey Ike, what's happening when you try to enable desktop effects? [05:26] anyone know when hardy is out? [05:26] JohnRobert: I think end of April is the scheduled release date [05:27] bah, ages :p [05:27] !repositories [05:27] 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 [05:28] JohnRobert: schedule is here if you're curious: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule [05:28] why would anyone use ubuntu over debian? [05:28] what's better about debian? [05:28] cesurasean, because of the clean desktop packageS :) [05:28] cesurasean: it's got much better support for restricted formats and stuff, it's got much newer packages [05:28] cesurasean, no nice installer [05:28] don't feed the trolls [05:28] can someone please tell me if 60 degrees is to hot for my Cpu temp? [05:28] can i play m4a on ubuntu???? [05:28] 60 should be fine [05:28] Peddy, its okay [05:28] it uses more user-friendly stuff by default, like networkmanager etc [05:29] Svenstaro: cheers mate ;) [05:29] 60 degrees is fine [05:29] don't get me wrong, I think debian is better in a lot of ways [05:29] cesurasean, well actually the system is about the same, but ubuntu has marketing [05:29] especially in terms of being a server [05:29] it's rock solid. [05:29] ROCK solid [05:29] how much do you think is *too* hot? [05:29] Yup Debian for server all the way [05:29] ubuntu has a server version though, yes? [05:29] yeah, but it's a bit 'meh' [05:29] Peddy, starting at 75° its getting too hot [05:29] f [05:29] cesurasean, yes afaik [05:29] Peddy: when your computer turns itself off [05:30] so what does it MEAN when you get lspci reporting bus of 2:0x.0 where x= a b or c depending on pci slot? is that ok or what? I am trying to use the reported numbers for BUSID in my xorg.conf and it isn't working... [05:30] gw ga ngerti........ [05:30] MightyTweak: so I can't explode it when I overclock it? [05:30] MightyTweak: let me rephrase, will the temperature be able to melt it or something [05:30] yes, you can burn up your cpu when you overclock. [05:30] Peddy: probably not. But if it does, please don't sue me [05:30] Peddy, usually not, if you turn up the voltages too high, it will break [05:30] yeah I don't want to sue you [05:30] Peddy: overclocking is generally a bad idea [05:30] in new zealand you can't sue [05:31] cesurasean, debianistas are still doing a great job! Hope the rest of Ubuntu developers take it the same way [05:31] icanhasadmin: why do you think that? [05:31] ubuntu is based on debian. :P [05:31] peddy: there will typically be a setting in the bios to make a warning beep or something if it gets too hot, and then turn off if it gets way too hot [05:31] Peddy: there's a reason processors have ratings [05:32] icanhasadmin: that's why I have water cooling ;) [05:32] Question: How do i search for a file using grep if i know the name? [05:32] overclocking will just make your system unstable [05:32] can i play m4a on ubuntu???? [05:32] man grep comes to mind.. [05:32] I've overclocked my Q6600 from 2.4ghz to 3.4ghz and it runs pretty stable :) [05:32] On air! [05:32] Svenstaro: I've overclocked a 1.86 to 3.4 [05:32] 3.2* [05:32] stable [05:33] norty: you might want to try the locate command [05:33] Peddy is there a 1.86 quodcore? [05:33] ran prime96 for 13 hours [05:33] I'm not sure [05:33] I'm getting an error when installing NDISwrapper: http://rafb.net/p/EXiBea32.html [05:33] 95* === shin is now known as fd === fd is now known as fdg [05:35] Svenstaro: so I went out to buy a 2.4GHz, and it wouldn't even overclock. i got a bad batch or something ^^ [05:35] Peddy :P [05:35] scala: Try setting the variable KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC to 1 before running make [05:36] scala: I just got that from here, don't really know what it means http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/an-error-about-fix-it-to-use-extracflags-625753/ [05:36] Question: My compiz got messed up somehow and so i reinstalled, but now it doesn't work at all, how do i refresh everything so it works again? [05:36] anyone ever encountered a motherboard that turns on, but won't post? [05:36] Svenstaro yep [05:36] cesurasean, yes [05:37] oops wrong window [05:37] what's the problem with the motherboard? any idea? [05:37] cesurasean, does it beep [05:37] no [05:37] where is the best place for me to ask very simple n00b questions about an ubuntu install? [05:37] is there a way to find the screen model? [05:37] cesurasean does it say anything at all? [05:37] and the on board ethernet lights up and turns off real quick [05:37] d_bo: right here [05:37] no [05:37] cesurasean, how many memory modules are on it? [05:37] none, I took them out [05:37] it's just the mobo by itself [05:38] with the processor in [05:38] hi all [05:38] cesurasean a mobo doesnt post without memory [05:38] the processor still gets hot [05:38] pen: try System>Preferences>Hardware Information [05:38] cesurasean: well i dont think it will post w/o memory [05:38] it should beep without memory though [05:38] cesurasean, it might not [05:38] it doesn't work with memory either [05:38] I think the mobo is fried, but Im trying to find the problem. [05:39] I don't understand how it stills runs without posting [05:39] heyyy [05:39] cesurasean you might wanna see if all critical connectors are connected [05:39] they are [05:39] Hey guys [05:39] cesurasean: try taking it out of the case, put if on something like a phone book to isolate it and just try to boot with the minimum required to boot, see what happens, if its still good u should get a boot [05:39] MightyTweek: well, there is no hardware Information [05:39] I would like to split a 6gb file into two archives [05:39] actually pen, never mind, it probably won't tell you [05:39] Could someone help me? [05:39] ok, what happened was my friend's computer died. I think lightning got it. So I went to test his PSU inside my unit, and I think it fried my mobo. [05:40] Master_Chief, you want to use 7zip for that, you should google it and read up on it, its easy [05:40] MightyTweek: ok [05:40] possibly static discharge from his PSU? [05:40] cesurasean: bad move, id think... [05:40] i installled 7zip through synaptic but i cant find it in the applications [05:40] yup [05:40] cesurasean: but my suggestion is above.. good luck [05:40] Master_Chief, you have to use the CLI to do that [05:40] new mobo is coming tomorrow via fedex [05:40] I've tried it outside the case, nothing happens [05:41] oh okay [05:41] =) [05:41] Do you think my CPU is fried too? [05:41] cesurasean, it might be [05:41] hi all is there anyone here that is a debian king/queen? [05:41] doh [05:42] im kinda scared to try the CPU inside the new mobo [05:42] UBuntu--Newbie I kinda have experience in debian :) been sysadmin on debian for 4 years if thats okay [05:42] cesurasean, the cpu will not do harm to the new mobo [05:42] hi folks, where can I find some understandable documentation about Snort and Base ? [05:42] the cpu won't have static discharge? or any other components? [05:42] * AutoMatriX is not a native english speaker [05:42] AutoMatriX, try howto forge, theres a cool howto on those [05:42] cesurasean, usually not [05:42] AutoMatriX, where are you from? [05:43] so the mobo took all of the discharge itself? and won't spread to RAM, anything else? I checked the HD and it seems to fire up just fine on another computer. [05:43] Svenstaro, Belgium, so Dutch or french is more readable to me [05:43] Svenstaro, what do u know about setting up an inhouse imap server? [05:43] AutoMatriX, sorry, cant help with that. [05:43] Svenstaro, got it installed, bu tI'd like to shut it up on ome 'alerts' .... [05:44] anyone know whats new in openoffice 2.4? [05:44] UBuntu--Newbie with virtual users? [05:44] I wish there was a way to test the CPU... [05:44] test cpu how?... [05:44] i think so [05:45] Help i just installed IE on ubuntu and want to get rid of it. How do i do that [05:45] UBuntu--Newbie which program do you want to use? [05:45] WHY would you want to get rid of IE? :D [05:45] donkey7186, why would you install IE on ubuntu? :( [05:45] donkey7186, IE ? [05:45] lol [05:45] I love IE. [05:45] brb [05:45] <--- windows user [05:46] oh.. you can use ie4linux but thats only designed for web developers... [05:46] cesurasean, never mind, nobody's perfect [05:46] lol [05:46] well i am having trouble looking at web pages on Firefox. i cannot click on certain links on myspace. and people tried to help me saying its a flass problem. so i tried that but i would like to get rid of IE [05:46] flash.. then install it >.>? [05:46] hopefully my new mobo works with every other part of my old computer. [05:46] no there is something wrong with flash at the moment on myspace [05:46] friedtofu: it's the bug where flash objects appear on top of the text on web pages [05:47] ah ah well [05:48] hey guys, is there an archiver for ubuntu that has a GUI, like winrar? [05:48] Master_Chief file-roller [05:48] So can someone help me get rid of IE [05:49] so what does it MEAN when you get lspci reporting bus of 2:0x.0 where x= a b or c depending on pci slot? is that ok or what? I am trying to use the reported numbers for BUSID in my xorg.conf and it isn't working... so is that a valid busid or some kinda generic spaceholder? [05:49] donkey7186 a drastic method (one I suggest strongly) is rm -r ~/.wine ;) [05:49] ? [05:49] master_chief: right-click on applications, select "edit menu", click on accessories on the left-hand side and put a check next to "archive manager" [05:49] rm ? [05:49] donkey7186: what instructions did you follow to install IE? [05:50] let me see if i can get em [05:50] donkey7186 rm -r removes a directory and all of it's contents; ~/.wine is where ie got installed [05:50] agent_ you want "sudo lshw -businfo" [05:50] pastie: send me a link! [05:50] so can i just remove the IE folder? [05:51] heh I love bidding on ebay and not paying for items [05:51] whats up guys? [05:51] pci@0000:02:0c.0 [05:51] jx: saving the world [05:51] i keep having problems with my npviewer.bin taking up massive amounts of my CPU/ram on my system, and i have to go in and kill the process...it seems to happen almost every time i refresh a page...any ideas? =/ [05:51] same kinda numbah [05:51] cesurasean, youre a scammer [05:51] :) [05:51] these are the instructions i followed [05:51] http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu [05:52] , you should be ashamed/ [05:52] what could be the reason for flash not loading on firefox from time to time? I then have to restart the browser to fix it [05:52] donkey7186 probably not (the ie folder under ~/.wine) and have wine run properly; removing ~/.wine completely would allow you to reconfigure wine (like a fresh xp install) [05:52] so if i remove wine then it should be fine? [05:53] if i remove wine will anything get messed up? [05:53] haha hey check this out... read what this lady says about our OS...http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html [05:53] donkey7186 remove the ~/.wine folder ? no. [05:53] flash sucks up all my resources. playing a simple youtube video and the cpu works at 70-90%. is there a way to lower this? [05:53] no one thinks my RAM or CPU got fried when the mobo died? [05:53] how do i do it [05:53] agent_ PCI:2:0:0 is your bus id [05:53] errr guys, I am using 7zip at the moment, splitting a 7GB file, its going so slow [05:54] and i see its only using 25% of each of my cores [05:54] donkey7186: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Uninstall [05:54] Master_Chief, it can take hours :) 7GB is pretty huge [05:54] okay so this is fun, I am in chat, but FF and Opera will not load [05:54] no one thinks my RAM or CPU got fried when the mobo died? [05:54] anybody got any suggestions? [05:54] donkey7186 apps->accessories->terminal, type in there: rm -r ~/.wine . You will also want to right click the application menu, and remove any launchers that were added [05:54] They start like they are going to load, I see it in the task bar, but then they just stop [05:55] Svenstaro, what do you think? [05:55] cesurasean well, test it :) [05:55] I don't want it to fuck up my new mobo [05:55] Svenstaro so do u know of any sites i can go to to see how to setup the mail server? I am using ubuntu 7.10, the pc wont let me install the server version :( [05:56] Ubuntu--Newbie, try Howtoforge.com [05:56] guys, any ideas: 7z is going so slow, and its only using 25% of each of my cores [05:56] I have tried rebooting with no success [05:56] Master_Chief, are you using p7zip? [05:56] i hope there is something in there, i have been searching for 2 weeks now for something [05:56] yes, sven, i am [05:56] i have even tried the "Perfect Server" from flurdy [05:56] =) [05:57] Master_Chief, on CLI run "7za b" [05:57] and see how many threads it uses [05:57] # CPU hardware threads: 4 [05:58] p7zip Version 4.51 (locale=en_AU.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,4 CPUs) [05:58] weird, eh? [05:58] Master_Chief, goodie, then use the cli version, not a gui wrapper one [05:58] oh well, its 88% [05:58] Svenstaro: but wouldn't 2:0:0 be my busid for all 3 slots then? [05:58] sven, i am using CLI at the moment [05:58] agent_ dunno :) try it [05:58] Master_Chief, oh, uhm [05:58] i figured i was comfortable with it =) [05:58] hi [05:58] Master_Chief, can you paste the command u use? [05:59] did, no video [05:59] 7z a -t7z -v400m /media/sda5/DOWNLOADS/GAMES/acreed.7z /media/sda5/DOWNLOADS/GAMES/Assassins.Creed-RELOADED/rld-acrd/rld-acrd.iso -mx0 [05:59] agent_ run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg, it will detect it [05:59] guys...anyone using Hardy? I upgraded a rather vanilla Gutsy install tonight and now none of my sound cards (SBLive) are being recognized... [05:59] i used this site to help me [05:59] http://www.howtoadvice.com/7zipHelper/ [05:59] anyone know if i can get my iMon Ultra Bay working in ubuntu 7.10 x86? [06:00] can u plz tell me the useful commands for vi editor??? [06:00] sven, it finished anyway [06:00] dont worry =) [06:00] Master_Chief, you didnt compress it, you used mx0 [06:00] yeah [06:00] i just needed to split it [06:00] didnt need compression at all [06:01] would that slow it down? [06:01] Svenstaro: did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg change my xorg.conf or what? [06:01] Master_Chief ah right okay, you got a ftp running so I can fetch assassins? :P [06:01] agent_ yes [06:01] is there a particular channel that focuses on Ubuntu beta releases? [06:01] agent_ but it made a backup I think [06:01] jbwiv_, #ubuntu+1 [06:01] #ubuntu+1 [06:02] nothing changed.... [06:02] hi , how I can increase my devshm size ??? [06:02] agent_ my bad, its sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:02] I know in Fedora I could do it in the fstab , but I can't find it in ubuntu [06:03] why dont u reply me ? [06:03] oh yeah, thanks for the help sven mate [06:03] appreciate it [06:03] my upstream is 200 kbps, so youll be fetching it for a while =) [06:04] Master_Chief, uhm thats okay :P [06:04] that autodetected my agp card that is indeed working fine, but not my secondary card that's on the 2:0c:0 [06:04] Master_Chief but its okay, ill fetch it myself [06:04] can i tell dpkg-reconfigure to ignore the one card? [06:04] agent_ no, it is laid out only to detect a single card [06:05] Hello all ! Do anyone have a link to a tutorial on installing Atheros AR5418 wireless pci on a macbook 2.16ghz. running Ubuntu 7.10 ? [06:05] madwifi? [06:05] ok I got it [06:05] nevermind [06:05] exit [06:05] why would you run ubuntu on a macbook? LOL [06:05] MacOSX is already freebsd :P [06:06] nks_ i believe it should work if you go to Restricted Drivers... and it should automatically detect taht you need the driver... otherwise i think you should go and install madwifi (for atheros based wireless cards) [06:06] The /var/lib partition on my mythtv box became full and got corrupted. It's XFS filesystem and I can't mount it. Seems like I get hardware errors when I try to mount it (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6125/). Is there anything else I should try before trying xfs_repair? [06:06] I'd went to madwifi and used ndiswrapper with it and constantly getting the thummbs down... [06:08] I haven't used the restricted drivers - I'll give that a try ! [06:08] eh?... ndiswrapper? you should really only need to install the madwifi... [06:09] make then install... [06:09] maybe i should just remove the other card, reboot, run dpgk-reconfigure, save the xorg.conf file, shutdown, readd card, and manually add the stuff from the other card? [06:09] huh. theres another card?.. [06:09] yeah. 2 video cards [06:10] i doubt that video cards would matter or xorg.conf would for that cause in getting your wifi detected [06:10] but one says it's pci bus is 2:0c:0 or 2:0b:0 or 2:0a:0 depending on pci slot [06:10] that's the other guy [06:10] lol [06:10] oh [06:10] haha [06:10] modprobe -a ndiswrapper [06:10] add wifi driver to ndiswrapper [06:10] i hate wireless setup heh [06:11] it works all well with madwifi [06:11] i wanted to get the wireless LED to blink... [06:11] but it kept blinking every 3 seconds... so i just turned it off [06:11] k those lights are just annoying [06:13] Can anyone help me, i'm using Gutsy and when i go into my Pictures folder (which is full of jpegs) and search for jpg, nothin happens, whenever i search for anything nothing shows, even when i know the file is there... any ideas? [06:15] k-rich - do you have "tracker" enabled? [06:16] yes [06:16] it works fin with other users [06:16] fine [06:16] oh [06:16] how can I connect printer that required windows user name and password for printing? [06:16] i dont ever use the search feature... :/ so meh [06:17] i can search fine from Places>Search for files [06:17] K-Rich, where are the pictures. [06:17] In what folder? [06:18] /home/yourusername/Pictures ? [06:18] ~/Pictures [06:18] Do you own the files? [06:18] i think it's something to do with tracker from what i read online [06:18] What are you using to search? [06:18] yes [06:18] No [06:18] What are you using to search? [06:18] nautilus [06:18] hold [06:18] ok [06:19] k-rich: do a sudo slocate -u [06:19] hmm. [06:20] sjovan, nautilus uses Berkley DB for searches? [06:20] sjovan: running, seems to be taking a while [06:20] mhmj [06:20] you are updating the locate database [06:20] okay [06:21] sjovan, "sudo updatedb" works too. [06:21] in the future just do locate | grep *.jpeg for instance [06:21] how to stop windows from snapping to the edge of the desktop? [06:21] there's a nice little app called Catfish that is a GUI frontend to Find, Locate, and Tracker. [06:22] K-Rich, thats another way to search ... i'm not sure about the way nautilus searches... [06:22] catfish eh. [06:22] or allow the title bar to go beyond the desktop [06:22] it is very annoying [06:22] * tcpdumpgod blinks [06:22] Just use the included Tracker search tool. [06:22] hi [06:22] high-freq, [06:22] is there some general FAQ or "official" ubuntu page about webcams and getting them setup for taking pictures? [06:22] titlebar isn't permitted to go above the top of the screen [06:22] hi chris___ [06:22] fudus3: do you use compiz? [06:22] wastes space [06:23] no [06:23] well, Applications>Accessoris>Tracker Search Tool wasn't working either [06:23] (before i go ahead and try all these (various) ways of getting webcams to work) [06:23] K-Rich: locate is prob the fastest way to search any way... [06:23] cool program cellofellow ! Thanks for turning me onto it! [06:23] Anybody remember how to set the necessary password so Windows users can access your Samba shares? [06:23] K-Rich, install the package "catfish"... it'd be good for you [06:23] levander: smbpasswd? [06:23] can someone explain ndiswrapper to me? [06:23] what is the name of cellofellow's program? i just got here [06:24] so there is no way to fix this so i can search with Nautilus ? [06:24] catfish, a search-tool frontend. [06:24] cellofellow: yeah, but i forget the syntax, it was on some obscure wiki.ubuntu.com page... i hate how sloppy that web site is, now i can't find it [06:24] illabled: ndiswrapper is a prog that you can use to get windows drivers to work in linux. man ndiswrapper has all the info you need [06:24] I'm having instalation issues: When XP reboots after doing the wubi.exe on the Ubuntu 8.04 i386 CD, I choose normal install and it brings me to a busybox screen [06:24] and does nothing [06:24] thx [06:24] cellofellow, do you know of a grep front end like that? [06:25] oh [06:25] wrong channel [06:25] tcpdumpgod: that'd be useful. Nope, sorry. [06:25] Dang :) [06:25] Thanks anyway [06:28] tcpdumpgod: http://software.twotoasts.de/ is the website for the development of catfish. Hehe, I remember helping this guy come up with the name. He might be able to implement a grep thing. [06:28] Cool, i'll drop him a line :) [06:31] What is the bash command to make my system make a beep noise (to test my audio)? [06:31] alecwh, thats beep but it only tests the pc beeper, not speaker [06:32] alecwh: how about just try running some pr0n or something... [06:32] My applications all tell me that the audio device is busy. >_> [06:32] Are there any free software applications that can do TTS? [06:33] TTS? [06:33] cellofellow, what is Catfish written in? [06:34] tcpdumpgod: packages.ubuntu.com suggests python [06:34] Ah, thanks. [06:34] hm... dont know which backend i should use for catfish.. [06:35] i always liked beagle-search [06:35] yacc, I guess PyGTK? [06:35] beagle-search likes to reindex too much. [06:35] tcpdumpgod: yeah, python with the GTK bindings. [06:35] Word... hey... whats the difference inbetween locate and slocate? [06:36] hm.. how about slocate? [06:36] friedtofu, use "find" or "slocate" [06:36] findutils ? [06:36] slocate is quicker but has to be indexed if you add something to the machine. [06:37] can someone help me with some issues with sound on a toshiba satellite m55 s135 [06:37] yes friedtofu [06:37] k. went with that [06:37] doubt that i'll ever use it.. but its just there.. heh [06:37] donkey7186, what issues? [06:37] Yeah, i use locate a lot. [06:38] ok well my sounds isnt working when my laptop lid is open but when i close the lid the sound works [06:38] and find also, it'll be nice to have a front end to play with. [06:38] hi, Can any1 tell me how can I share my internet connections..with remote desktop? [06:38] donkey7186, what is your model number again? [06:38] m55 s135 [06:39] tcpdumpgod: sorry catfish is written in PyGTK. [06:39] okay its a Toshiba Satellite M55-S135 [06:39] tcpdumpgod: and I forgot it supports Beagle in addition to the other engines I mentioned. [06:39] Cool cellofellow... im trying to get into programming... i guess I found my 1st project. [06:39] :) [06:40] yeah, im looking @ catfish.py at the supported search engines section. [06:40] Yes its toshiba satellite m55 s135 [06:40] It supports 'find', 'locate', 'slocate', 'tracker-search', 'beagle-query' [06:40] Anyone here done the Photoshop CS3 in Wine thing yet?

[08:02] ArmedKing, im not sure of a proram to check fragmentation, but it shouldnt matter if theres no OS [08:03] Q: please elaborate on this .. this hdb is nicely usable and visible through windows xp, its fat32 partition ---> http://pastebin.com/m231742d8 [08:03] Cpu(s): 19.9%us, 4.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 74.1%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 2.0%si, 0.0%st [08:03] i go to network list [08:03] bod_, Oke thanks m8 ;-) i'll take ya word on it :D [08:03] ;~) [08:03] woo_, it looks ok to me :\ whats the load average like [08:03] and in networks i try to add it [08:03] ArmedKing: yeah if there is no os and u just want to be re sure, if no data there too, then reformat it to ext3 [08:03] load average: 1.18, 0.70, 0.86 [08:03] It's definately a RAM issue. [08:03] when i go to edit it and put in chat.peercommons.net === max is now known as max` [08:03] anyone wants to tell me why hdb has issues? [08:04] newserver/6667 [08:04] it stay at newserver/6667 will not chat to chat.peercommons.net [08:04] Linux_Fresher, because ur ubuntu does not know of the label hdb is the fat32 a 80gig or 40 gig ? [08:04] woo_, its a wee bit on the high side for an idle computer, but not terribly so. you should not feel it to be sluggish. do you have a lot of disk activity? some sort of high speed file transfer or something? [08:04] how do i pastebin? [08:05] !paste [08:05] 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) [08:05] test [08:05] test [08:05] UBUNTUJAY123: hit enter after putting it in [08:05] test succeeded [08:05] no not much disk activity, it just feels really slow to swtich between programs [08:05] i did [08:05] aww =/ i feel ignored !! [08:06] Linux_Fresher, is ur fat32 disk 40gig or 80gig? [08:06] and firefox is really slow to draw pages once you scroll down or up [08:06] hm, are you sure you dont have deskop effects enabled with a long animation cycle or something - thats what ive had happen to me before [08:06] bod_: its 40 gig fat32 .. it doesnt have ubuntu on it .. its just a movie storage disk [08:06] hey guys i just installed truecrypt via the .deb from the website, but there was no entry added in my applications menu... is there anyway to forcefully add it to the menu? [08:06] bod_: the thing is its accessible without any issues in xp [08:06] woo_), i know this could be irrelevant, but what desktop manager are you running? [08:06] i've use *buntu on a 800 mhz laptop with 384 gigs of ram. it was a bit sluggish, but not terribly slow [08:07] Linux_Fresher, ok, u called it /dev/hdb in fact u want to call it /dev/hda5 [08:07] devilsadvocate: xubuntu would work faster [08:07] woo_), i know this could be irrelevant, but what desktop manager are you running? [08:07] bod_: yeah !! my bad soz [08:08] im using that AWN desktop manager [08:08] bod_: hdb is dvd drive, soz [08:08] oh [08:08] damo22, i know. didnt really like the xubuntu xfce though. eventually moved to vector linux and then ubuntu with fluxbox [08:08] what is the default folder for things i install ? [08:08] bod_: the Q remains though .. why the label is messed up ? i am on live cd so i havent touched fstab yet [08:08] but it still felt slow before i installed that. [08:09] haven't considered using xfce4 or fluxbox? [08:09] Linux_Fresher, in terminal type id look at mounting it im not certain about the mount command but i think it will be something like mount /media/disk /dev/hda5 === Memphis_desktop is now known as Memphis{away} [08:09] ohh yeah and I have that compiz thing installed [08:09] would that be it? [08:09] if i'm on a dualboot macbookpro,(osx/ win xp) through BootCamp, would installing ubuntu on it(tri-boot) rid of BootCamp's control? [08:09] woo_, not unless u have custom effects enabled [08:09] woo_, disable compiz temporarily, see if the improvement is very significant [08:10] woo_ no that should be fine [08:10] Gopher99, yes, unless u skip the grub installer [08:10] bod_: i can even mount it, but it wont show the data inside , keeps saying permission denied [08:10] Linux_Fresher, ok have u got it mounted now? [08:10] Linux_Fresher, you need to mount with the allow-other option [08:11] I haven't used linux for years, but when i did install ubuntu, mine was sluggish on a system identical to yours. And there was an excellent article to rip most of the shit out of it to make it faster [08:11] bod_: if i skipped the grub installer, do you know if the BootCamp app would add the ubuntu distro into the options? (I know this probably isnt your area of expertise) [08:11] Linux_Fresher, listen to devilsadvocate ;~) === sayap_ikarus is now known as vivi_sma [08:12] Gopher99, i doubt it,.,. but u could add it by hand,. or just allow ubuntu to install grub and let it use that [08:12] Linux_Fresher, you are on the live cd or have you installed? [08:12] cd devil [08:12] devilsadvocate: i am on live cd atm, came here to use gparted === AutoMatriX_ is now known as AutoMatriX [08:13] Linux_Fresher, could you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [08:13] aq g mudeng [08:13] devilsadvocate, his output is here -- http://pastebin.com/m231742d8 [08:14] ok, you are supposed to have a 40 gig fat32 partition? [08:14] anyone recommend a good sysex program for ubuntu (dumps system exclusive midi data from external devices)? [08:15] Linux_Fresher, it looks to me that the partition you are looking for is hda1 :| [08:16] hey guys i just installed truecrypt via the .deb from the website, but there was no entry added in my applications menu... is there anyway to forcefully add it to the menu? [08:17] Wiseguy, right click on the word applications,. then edit menus [08:17] devilsadvocate: umm .. u r not getting the point .. even as root, hda5 gets permission denied error [08:17] anyone know of a website to discuss opensource in general and concepts/ideas, and just share views, etc.. [08:17] Linux_Fresher, its not hda5 i got it wrong its hda1 [08:17] alo [08:17] alo [08:18] Linux_Fresher, ok. but keep in mind that hda5 seems to be a rather small partition [08:18] bod_: hmm its cool .. i will figure it out =) will be back here if i get stuck [08:18] if you have it mounted now, then please pastebin the output of "mount" === sayap_ikarus is now known as vivi_sma [08:19] im off,. cya guys [08:19] Linux_Fresher, if you have installed ubuntu, in all probability it would have automounted it in one of the folders in /media [08:19] Tarkus: programming channels, specific programming language forums (ie sun java forums), pixel2life forums [08:20] cya bod_! [08:20] alo [08:20] hey melly [08:20] how's things? [08:20] ;~) === sayap_ikarus is now known as vivi_sma [08:20] *is now idle* [08:24] hai..............

[08:50] pranith: sorry thats all i can suggest at this stage [08:50] you could go debian based - which would be damnsmalllinux [08:50] damo22, thank you [08:50] maybe theres a ubuntu core iso that you can do that too... [08:51] ghost, ubuntu fits on an usb key [08:51] which package [08:51] because the DVD iso dag sure don't [08:51] :) [08:51] ghost, not a package, google is your friend as long as your key is bigger than 512mb [08:51] ghost: the standard x86 desktop one === Daloran is now known as TehFBI === TehFBI is now known as Daloran [08:53] ghost: i think you'll need syslinux or something to make the key boot the iso [08:53] man i don't feel like dealing with this crap all night [08:53] :( [08:53] kay ill look for usb sized distros [08:54] ghost: This is a good guide: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [08:54] ghost: the easiest solution is buy a blank cd and burn the iso... it works for bios that dont have usb boot option [08:54] ghost: accept it says burn the iso :( [08:54] damo22, if i had a computer that i could burn the iso with i wouldn't need a usb drive method ") [08:55] im just firggin astonished that ALL my disks are not working [08:55] for stupid reasons [08:55] bah ill just get this 6.10 working, i don't need x. === nothing__ is now known as Undreamed [08:56] I just hate how the livedvd's don't have the text based install method anymore [08:56] that was a odd move i think. [08:57] hi guys, i have dual-boot machine (ubuntu+xp). I want to completely get rid of xp; i have one ext3 on which i run linux, one ntfs for windows, and one ntfs with my data, so it has to be left intact? So how do i do it? I thought of backing up my ubuntu installation with remastersys, completely remove ext3 and one ntfs on which is xp (the partition is flagged as boot on gparted) and on that unallocated space install my ubuntu ('use the largest continuous spac [09:01] anyone know how to do to old fashoned text based installer from a 6.10 kubuntu dvd? [09:02] anyone? [09:02] archman: cant you just wipe the partition with xp (ntfs) and make it ext3 [09:02] I am is there any linux client that can talk to gtalk with voice ? [09:03] ghost: expert at the boot: prompt? [09:03] damo22: and then merge two ext3's ? [09:03] expert? thank you [09:03] archman: then you can mount it as /downloads or something [09:03] ghost: np [09:04] er maybe if i launch it at a lower rez [09:04] problem is my particular monitor has a non standard monitor ratio [09:04] damo22: yeah, but it's a bit complicated, i have grub loader; i don't want to mess with it... [09:04] throws off a lot of installers [09:04] ghost: *nods* [09:04] latest ubuntu handles it, but i don't remember all the paramaters to make it work [09:05] however a working system with no X can be updated' [09:05] archman: its pretty simple... wipe the xp partition and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove xp from there [09:05] ghost: indeed :) [09:05] hrm [09:05] this kde boot disk, when its done, just comes to a terminal prompt [09:06] archman: then all you need to do is edit /etc/fstab and add the new mountpoint for the new ext3 partition [09:06] archman: do you use archlinux? haha - anyways. what damo22 said - you can wipe it easily with gparted [09:06] ok, thanks; but i somehow find it easier to wipe it all of... [09:07] but that's the n00b mind [09:07] :-D [09:07] yeah :/ sadly unless you merge it, you'll just have space of whatever you allotted the ntfs partition... [09:08] hey all, I just turn off desktop effect temporally but now if I try and turn them back on it just says "Can not enable Visual effects" or somthing like that. [09:08] friedtofu: yeah, i need it merged... [09:08] I have read of gizmo as being a sip/im client ,but it don't have any Ubuntu package nor does it post the source on there page. Read that Pidgin will do gtalk soon and Kopete does it with a patch . Is there a client that does it all ready ? [09:08] archman: sudo fdisk -l to pastebin and i can take a quick look [09:09] I have checked to make sure the video card drivers are still enabled but they are. Does anyone know what could be causing this. [09:09] damo22: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61205/ [09:09] madmanwoo: try restarting X ... CTRL-ALT-BKSPC [09:09] hm. anyone know when ff 3.0 is coming out? [09:09] ok [09:09] hey guys, for some reason my cameras memory card wont show up when i plug my camera into the usb port... when i check dmesg it says that a new USB device was detected and everything, but it doesnt seem to assign the memory card to a device so i can browse the pics... anyone know whats up? [09:10] Wiseguy: can you find the memory card in Nautilus? [09:11] archman: how wierd, partition 4 and 5 are the wrong way around in the list [09:11] help me plze [09:11] damo22: you mean sda4 sda5? [09:11] seamus7, ahh it did actually.. [09:11] thanks [09:12] archman: yeah [09:12] no.. i get a text saying ... Partition table entries are not in disk order when i do that command [09:12] sda5 uses 3368-3441 and sda4 uses 3442-... [09:12] Wiseguy: if you want it to show up on your desktop you probably just to enable that in gconf-editor or Removable Drives & Media ... something like that [09:13] damo22: it will definitely be the most secure to do my version...the only thing i worry about is that flag for ntfs: boot. What's with that? [09:14] archman: i am assuming sda1 contains the xp system that you want to wipe [09:14] What does Platform-Independent Source [09:14] <_rootborn> I remove my grub and delete /boot/grub/files, how to put it back ? [09:15] damo22: yeah, sda1 is xp, sda2 ubuntu, sda4 HAS to be left, and sda5 swap... [09:15] damo22: so i thought of removing sda1, sda2... [09:15] damo22: but that flag gets on my way... [09:15] archman: yeah why not remove sda1 and sda2 and make a new sda1 [09:16] oh YEAH this desktop cube thing is faaaaaancy [09:16] damo22: i will remove sda1 and sda2 and in ubuntu installer i will tell to install on largest free space [09:16] damo22: so he will create what he needs, i just need sda4 to be intact! [09:17] damo22: and to be able to mount on new ubuntu, ofcourse... [09:17] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4iyksLeo7w&feature=bz301 [09:17] archman: you can even remove sda3 and sda5 and make a new sda3 [09:17] <_rootborn> I remove my grub and delete /boot/grub/files, i use ubuntu, how can I reinstall my grub back ? [09:18] What does Platform-Independent Source mean? that mean it will run on 32 bit as well as 64 bit maybe ? [09:18] tarel: the complete opposite [09:18] Mac what could it mean? [09:18] damo22: yeah, remove everything except sda4; but btw: what is sda3? [09:19] tarelerulz: only for a specific arch [09:19] damo22: LBA?? part of something? [09:19] archman: you made an extended partition called sda3 with just enough room for sda5 to fit inside it [09:19] archman its pointless [09:19] ok... so can i have a 3d space where i can arbitrarily place windows as 3d objects (firefox and terminals and things) [09:19] ? [09:20] tarelerulz: preety much what ever it is specified for [09:20] kinda like a mindmap is what im thinking [09:20] damo22: should i definitely wipe it all of? [09:20] archman: yeah wipe sda1 sda2 sda3 and sda5 [09:20] archman: I would backup sda4 if you can :) [09:21] damo22: then the installer will do the rest... [09:21] mac^ The reason I ask is I read that all the time and I really don't understand what it mean or could mean as fare as if I could install that program or library [09:21] DistroJockey: it's 30gigs, i will try...tnx [09:21] archman: your partition table looks a little messy [09:21] DistroJockey: thats for sure [09:22] DistroJockey: if i erase sda1, which is boot flaged, will there be problems later? [09:22] what up [09:22] !info lumaqq [09:22] archman: In the long run it would be better to wipe the lot and start fresh :) [09:22] ubuntu: sup [09:22] archman: shouldn't be [09:22] archman: boot flag is only for xp dont worry about it [09:22] tarelerulz: url for the program?

[09:24] mac^ here is the program download page http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=146406 [09:24] DistroJockey: what is this boot flag used for? [09:24] archman: just means that that's the partition that gets booted by the MBR [09:24] archman:hhmmm. [09:24] ups [09:24] Greetz. May I ask what icon set people in here prefer? http://powerzone.dk/Screenshot11.png vs. http://powerzone.dk/Screenshot22.png [09:24] archman: I think ;) [09:25] ok hang on [09:26] DistroJockey: im gonna erase everything except sda4; there really shouldn't be any problems; the partition can't disappear just like that...no? hehe [09:26] archman: good plan ... make sure you dont have stuff saved in /home because you'll lose that data [09:26] archman: not sure what the affect of those boundary issues have [09:27] tarelerulz: that's fine you can use it [09:27] damo22: remastersys made it all backed up on one dvd...i recommend that tool to everyone! === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris [09:27] archman: but you have the fdisk data in the pastebin, so even if something happens to it, it can be rebuilt [09:27] mac^ for 64 bit Ubuntu maybe ?

Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:45] also, is there a good pdf reader for the console_ [11:45] ? [11:45] erUSUL: thank u... can i ask u something? i have a problem with my Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) installation...

[11:45] i means cant get connection to my internet connection [11:46] draicone; you can't do that the way you're trying.. you'll need the liveCD to unmount your partition [11:46] I couldn't work out how to use parted, gparted was used a different version of various libs, qtparted failed (i'm using gnome/ubuntu) and I don't have a live cd of gparted [11:46] Ah, a netboot.iso that does not start the installer, instead it starts dropbear :) [11:46] erUSUL: i installed Ubuntu on an old PC... Dell Dimension XPS Generation 4... which is a 2002-3 release... [11:46] bastid_raZor: If I burn the desktop 7.04 iso (7.04 installed, passed on the cd) will that resize my partitions? [11:46] erUSUL: i did the install in safe graphics mode... [11:46] !ask | Mzalendo [11:47] Mzalendo: 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. :-) [11:47] draicone, do you have a live cd of ubuntu? gparted is on there [11:47] erUSUL: then later, after changing the software sources and updating, the display came up messed up... i'm seeing gibberish... [11:47] hasrolhafiz: details please; what type of connection? [11:47] draicone; you can resize it from that liveCD yes. [11:47] jtravnick: I've got the ISO, I can burn it to media. [11:47] Mzalendo: your best bet is to boot in recovery mode (no X) and try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [11:48] bastid_raZor: Will the live cd mount my filesystems? [11:48] (can I unmount them if it does?) [11:48] erUSUL: it seems to be that the update added stuff that is newer than what the graphics card can support... Invidia GeForce... i dont remember the model number [11:48] draicone; you can unmount if so.. [11:48] erUSUL: what will that do? fix everything? [11:48] Great, thanks bastid_raZor, jtravnick.

[11:55] oh, ok [11:55] i was thinking of trying out the new hardy heron beta... can i install it in vmware without running into any problems (i tried to install debian but it never worked) [11:55] Mzalendo: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' will fix the xorg configuration ; yes [11:55] jtravnick: metro detroit [11:55] algyz, okay i will give that a try... there is a chance i have that installed already.

[11:56] simplyubuntu: USB or serial? Using wvdial? [11:56] algyz, yep, it says that it is already the newest version [11:57] i checked out some screenshots and it looked pretty good, i've only been using KDE so far so i thought it might be a good idea to check out gnome aswell [11:57] Distrojockey, its a pci modem... using wvdial... [11:57] i'm running ubuntu 7.10. but i want kernel information.. wanted to know if i run 32bit or 64bit version. what is that command [11:57] * shay pokes kate_mins [11:57] bastid_raZor 'uname -a' [11:57] it says modem initialized, but tells me i have an invalid ph number no matter whati put in there....!

[11:58] Baba-B00ie, on the terminal, uname -m [11:58] eep late :( [11:58] ty [11:58] negge; i'm partial to the split toolbars of which i removed the bottom one and installed AWN.. i like the dock .. for me KDE seems too much like a windows feel.

[11:59] erUSUL: well, i have three options with GRUB... generic, recovery and memtest... so i guess i am going to try and run it via recovery [11:59] Baba-B00ie: then you are on 32bit [11:59] Baba-B00ie; then you're not on 64 bit with i686 [11:59] erUSUL: since u r obviously an expert, maybe u can assist me, step by step, via Pidgin IM? [11:59] bastid_raZor no i'm still using 3.5.4, i installed KDE4 a couple of days ago but it was such a big chance I decided to remove it right away [12:00] ok thanks.. i couldn't remember if i installed 32 or 64 last time around [12:00] Distrojockey any ideas? [12:00] erUSUL: if u dont mind, i could add u... or u can add me, then we can have a more realtime guided session?

Just use sudo before your command. [12:04] i do [12:05] but it wont work :P [12:05] Hi, I'm new to ubuntu, formerly I used SuSE and Gentoo... all from a commandline prompt only... I just installed last night, and need help getting gcc set up.. .can anyone point me to a web page/FAQ?

(on a pabx exchange) [12:06] OwNsYa: try: sudo su enter password, then run the commands [12:06] erUSUL: then there was a warning message, and the result is... [12:06] Somehow I've got the feeling that the debian installer is not meant to be running via network :( [12:06] OwNsYa: ah. [12:07] simplyubuntu: just stick the number infront of the number? [12:07] xserver-org postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file: backup in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.20080327150513 [12:07] what next? [12:07] DistroJockey: it's better to use 'sudo -i' instead of 'sudo su' as it resets the environment. (sudo -i is like su - and sudo -s is like regular su) [12:07] Mzalendo: know reboot to noermal mode and see if you have good graphics [12:07] jrib: ahh, cool. Cheers :) [12:08] erUSUL: will the command exit work? or what command should i enter to do that? am not really sure [12:08] Distrojockey, but the exchange requires you to wait after dialling the prefix.... ill try it anyway though..

I can't find any solution with google, or lookoing on ubuntuforums.org [12:08] OwNsYa: sudo is not preserved past bash IO redirection operators. you can do this though: sudo python rtorstat.py /opt/bittorrent/sessiondata/ | sudo tee /var/www/index.html or use sudo -i to get an interative root shell and just run the command normally.. and I think theres another way to run multiple sudo commands on one line, but I forget the sudo argument. [12:09] OwNsYa, python blah | sudo tee -a index.html or sudo sh -c "python blah > index.html" [12:09] simplyubuntu: there should be a way to make it wait (looking at man wvdial) [12:10] DistroJockey; simplyubuntu adding a comma to the dialing sequence should add a two second delay === Baba-B00ie is now known as MBR [12:10] simplyubuntu: i think commas add pauses between prefix and number the more commas the more pauses [12:10] bastid_raZor: nice, cheers :) [12:10] already thought of that === MBR is now known as Baba-Booie [12:11] tred with one comma... not more though.. will do [12:11] erUSUL: i typed exit, now i have a worse display... it's pretty bad [12:11] hi, whats the best way to find my cpu temperature?

Not some redirector, dyndns or what ever [12:43] Mzalendo_: not sure [12:43] can someone remove the "Mzalendo" nickname for me? i am being reminded to pick a new one [12:43] Jemt - Nope, that's the ip to my router.

How well does it handle saving large files (multiple GB) as it used to stall? [12:49] hi channel! [12:50] Hi tparcina! [12:50] Say [12:50] how can I find out what codecs can I use in ffmpeg? [12:50] i bought a Linksys WRT54GL router to use on my computer.. but how do i install it on ubuntu? it's clearly stated that i should run the cd before i connect the cables [12:50] While I'm here, why the hell has my cursor just gone ker-flooey? [12:50] Buffer issues? [12:50] DistroJockey: gedit didnt work... i got error message cannot open display [12:50] tparcina - "ffmpeg -formats" iirc [12:50] ffmpeg is a standalone program? Odd, I could have sworn it was a codec only [12:50] Pralou plug it all up and just open Firefox to 192.168.1.1 [12:51] Mzalendo_: use nano or pico or vim :) [12:51] Mzalendo: try gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:51] Mzalendo_, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:51] if that doesn't work [12:51] k [12:51] anaoum: i don't know if LiveCD is working, because I have installed it from alternate CD [12:51] Yep, what Jack_Sparrow said :P [12:51] *nods* [12:51] The CD that comes with the router also works fine in wine.. [12:51] Is there a way to install a Livecd onto a HD? [12:51] Like, as an alternate kernel in the GRUB? [12:51] chazco: thank you! :) [12:52] tparcina - Np :) [12:52] ok i'll try, thanks choward [12:52] nano works [12:52] Pralou if this is the first Linksys router you have set up, I would make sure you have wine installed and just run the CD. [12:52] how do i save the file? what command? [12:52] can i put a * sign in adresses in my /etc/hosts? [12:52] ok [12:52] IE: *.moppa.se [12:52] RioMerc, Please explain or rephrase what you are trying to do.. .. and Coudy alternatecd is not a livecd it is a text only installer [12:53] Hi... is anyone using the latest Truecrypt on Gusty? How well does it handle saving large files (multiple GB) as it used to stall? [12:53] chazco: what does DAVSDT in front of codec means? [12:53] Moppa, errm no [12:53] Moppa, what are you trying to do? [12:53] I guess D - decode, E -encode, A - audio, V-video, but what other D and S and T stands for? [12:53] !register [12:53] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [12:54] Jack_Sparrow: Not trying to do, just a theory. I'm wondering if one could theoretically take the kernel of a Livecd and put it onto a HD, then make it bootable as an alternate OS in the GRUB menu [12:54] Jack_Sparrow: am very new to this, so bear with me... i managed to edit the file, how do i save it? and exit the program? [12:54] SIGH [12:54] ظ [12:54] Mzalendo_, ctrk o or w cant remember [12:54] Mzalendo_: If you're using nano, Ctrl+O, Ctrl+X (O = Save, X = Exit) [12:54] Mzalendo_: there should be a list of ctrl command at the bottom [12:55] thanks rio [12:55] choward: hmm.. i cant open the setup.exe with wine [12:55] DistroJockey: it's pretty hard to understand that ^ means ctrl [12:55] can any one tell me why my ubuntu installation is haning at the scanning mirror screen (its not a network problem) [12:55] Pralou, you might want #winehq [12:55] Mzalendo_: true, that's why I said it :) [12:55] thanks [12:55] tparcina, if you are playing with ff google up winff they have a deb package.. [12:55] Pralou did you right click the setup.exe and select "Open with Wine" [12:56] yes [12:56] :O! [12:56] hey..can anyone tell me where to find the source code for iwlist? [12:56] Wine has a shell extension? [12:56] no error msgs, but nada happens [12:56] Jack_Sparrow: ok, I'll search for it. Thank you. [12:56] unop_ - My D-Link router only shows me it's loginpage when i enter my server adress locally, but outside the router portforwards the connection correctly to my webserver. Read here: http://whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/706914.html that i could fix this by editing my /etc/hosts and entering my domainname (www.moppa.se), but i have subdomains there and i want all of them to be redirected locally. But i guess i have to add them [12:56] separately. [12:57] RioMerc, you could look at the alternate ways we can install Ubuntu or look at this for hints..Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh [12:57] pbne04, download the wireless-tools source package [12:57] thank u all so much [12:57] it works [12:57] Pralou: strange. Works for me when using the cd to reset misbehaving routers. hehe. Just open a browser to 192.168.1.1(defalut for linksys routers) and you should have a setup page. [12:57] even my ntfs drive can be seen [12:57] wow! you people are great! [12:57] :) [12:58] Mzalendo_: :) [12:58] whenever i get stuck i will be coming here [12:58] Mzalendo_: excellent [12:58] Jack_Sparrow, thanks [12:58] np rio.. [12:58] I think I prefer gajim to pidgin [12:58] :P [12:58] unop_: its installed but im unable to find the actual source file once its installed === chds1 is now known as ds1 [12:58] choward: ok, i'll try it out [12:58] ty === ds1 is now known as chds1 [12:58] Jack_Sparrow: from what repository can I download winff? [12:58] I can only find the source files for iwconfig [12:58] Probably a foolish question, but what's the difference between GAIM and Pidgin? [12:58] hello. i found out my system cant keep up with the graphics card. its as loud as when i play hardware-demanding game [12:59] what now ? [12:59] As far as I know, Pidgin is basically Gaim with a name change [12:59] Moppa, it's quite simple to do really -- if you have a list of subdomains -- for i in s1 s2 s3; do echo ip.add.re.ss $i.mydomain.local > /etc/hosts; done [12:59] tparcina, It is not in the repos. but it is a deb that you can double click to install.. [12:59] boris_ Er. What? [12:59] Mzalendo_: so you went to vesa from nv, it's not ideal but if it works ... :) [12:59] what's a good desktop recording program? [12:59] Jack_Sparrow: ok, thank you for info [12:59] Moppa, the right way to do that is to have bind (dns server) register and manage subdomains [12:59] Mzalendo_: NVidia card? === Ufretin|away is now known as Ufretin [12:59] pteague; recordmydesktop === chds1 is now known as chdst [12:59] Can anyone help with a wireless issue using the broadcom chipset where the card is locked to 1mb? [13:00] RioMerc: ive got a new sound card (ATI HD2600PRO) and my system is so loud, but i didnt play a game or something, so i dont know why [13:00] unop_ - say i only wan't www.moppa.se to work at first, what will the command be? [13:00] I didn't know ATI Made Sound Cards [13:00] pteague; uh..hang on i'll get you the package name.. [13:00] DistroJockey: i didnt change that... the Synaptic Update did it [13:00] RioMerc: ive got 3D on, but my older graphics card, Radeon9550 didnt cause the system to be so loud [13:00] bastid_raZor> cool, thanks [13:00] Mzalendo_: ahh [13:00] RioMerc: graphics card [13:00] Moppa, actually serious mistake with the last command -- it should be >> instead of > [13:00] boris_: Define loud [13:00] bastid_raZor> it's recordmydesktop :) [13:00] You mean, in volume? [13:00] Mzalendo_: but you just edited xorg.conf right? [13:00] RioMerc: what ? [13:00] pteague; cool, i thought there was a - in there somewhere [13:00] DistroJockey: i had problems with my Rhythmbox playing MP3 files also... saying they could not be understood due to the GStreamer codec being missing [13:01] RioMerc: the system itself is loud [13:01] or something like that [13:01] Moppa, echo "ip.add.re.ss www.moppa.se" >> /etc/hosts [13:01] boris_: You mean, Audio? [13:01] unop_ - it says 192.168.1.9 www.moppa.se in my /etc/hosts [13:01] RioMerc: no [13:01] DistroJockey: yes, i just did... i set it back to "vesa" [13:01] what's this recordmydesktop I hear of? [13:01] but still doesn't work [13:01] My sound has been working perfectly fine, but when I booted my computer this morning, it no longer works: when trying to play a sound file, any sound player program I use will either hang or simply act like the sound file can't be played. Any ideas? I could sure use some help. [13:01] works fine [13:01] Mzalendo_: *nods* [13:01] boris_: Then what is loud? [13:01] I'm confused :P [13:01] RioMerc: the computer itself [13:01] Moppa, so whats the problem then? [13:01] unop_ - it doesn't work. [13:01] boris_; how is this a ubuntu problem? you have a noisy fan? [13:01] boris_: OH!! I'm guessing the new card just has a bitchin' fan in it [13:01] alguem do brasil ai? [13:01] anybody have any ideas as to why gnome suddenly won't let me select anything on the desktop? [13:01] RioMerc: it usually happens when i play a game that requires lots of sys resources, but this time i didnt [13:02] boris_: Overclocking? [13:02] alquem que fale portugues? [13:02] no [13:02] Hmm [13:02] RioMerc; recordmydesktop does just what its name implies.. works very well.. video and sound [13:02] Mzalendo_: hopefully you will be able to get it back to nv or nvidia one day as vesa is limited [13:02] boris_ I'm just guessing that the new card has a more powerful fan, so when you actually play a game, it might go even faster === spiderz is now known as iclifton [13:02] bastid_raZor: How do I go about obtaining this program? [13:03] I'm guessing it's not in the repository? [13:03] boris_ those cards are loud... [13:03] how do i get the GStreamer plugins for Rhythmbox? [13:03] tparcina, http://www.winff.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=34&Itemid=60 [13:03] unop_ - and i have restarted my network [13:03] RioMerc: i belive its not the graphics card fan's problem. i heard that sound before, when i didnt have this card [13:03] DistroJockey: i can use "nvidia" as the driver? [13:03] !pt | nabarro72 [13:03] nabarro72: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [13:03] RioMerc; apt-get install recordmydesktop [13:03] Mzalendo_: using restricted drivers [13:03] boris_: Perhaps the graphics card is demanding more voltage from your PSU, thusly making it's fan spin faster? [13:03] Moppa, sorry, i got disconnected, can you repeat your last posts since i asked you what was wrong [13:03] RioMerc: hm [13:03] ? [13:03] RioMerc: could be [13:03] DistroJockey: in the software sources? [13:04] !nvidia | Mzalendo [13:04] Mzalendo: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:04] boris_; could be the power supply fan or processor fan. [13:04] unop_ - it still doesn't work. and i have restarted my network [13:04] RioMerc: will everything, besides sound, be ok ? [13:04] boris_ open your case and try to figure out which fan is making the noise... if it is your CPU fan then the setting that controls fan speed in your Bios has been reset. [13:04] Already said it :P [13:04] boris_: Probably, but I would consider getting a more powerful PSU. What's the wattage on your current one>? [13:04] Mzalendo_: should be [13:04] RioMerc: no idea. how do i check? [13:04] Moppa, what happens when you type this command -- host www.moppa.se [13:05] boris_: It should be written on the side of the PSU itself [13:05] Mzalendo_: search for nvidia in Synaptic [13:05] ok... thanks [13:05] boris_, there are online sites that will let you calculate what wattage ps you need to have.. [13:05] It's usually in small lettering [13:05] Mzalendo_: no problem [13:05] Mine is at 450W! [13:05] Rated... [13:05] Pretty weak. [13:05] ...not really [13:06] RioMerc: input : 230V, output : 7.5 V [13:06] 450 is fine for most systems [13:06] Think I'll crash. Later all. [13:06] :P [13:06] Please join ##hardware for Hardware discussion and support, thank you/ [13:06] RioMerc: is that what you've been looking for ? [13:06] DistroJockey: and what about the sound card? how do i upgrade the driver? i have a Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS [13:06] boris_: No, It should be a number like 450 or 500 followed by a W [13:06] I run systems with nv8800GTS and 300W PSU [13:06] unop_ - www.moppa.se is an alias for hackback.servebeer.com. and then my externat ip-adress. I'm guessing i shall enter hackback.servebeer.com as host? [13:06] boris_, what cpu, soundcard number of drives etc? [13:06] miiiiiii [13:06] Jack_Sparrow: 3.0 GHz intel pentium 4 [13:07] Jack_Sparrow: 02:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS [13:07] unop_ - nope, still routerlogin [13:07] rule of thumb small fan=loud big fan=quiet. if your new card has a smaller fan then it is going to be louder... [13:07] Jack_Sparrow: just 1 hard drive, 80 GB, 2 GB of ram [13:07] Moppa, what does "host www.moppa.se" say? === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [13:07] boris, I think there is a different issue with that fan noise, but I cant remember the fix.. perhaps a driver or power monitor app.. and for a 3.0.. that is not enough of a ps, you are putting your components at risk [13:08] Moppa: Having problems accessing your site from within your network using the domain name ? [13:08] Jack_Sparrow: 1 core, not 2 [13:08] unop_ - www.moppa.se is an alias for hackback.servebeer.com. hackback.servebeer.com has adress 213.64.134.153 [13:08] Jemt - yepp, [13:08] Jack_Sparrow: ive got fglrx [13:08] unop__ - www.moppa.se is an alias for hackback.servebeer.com. hackback.servebeer.com has adress 213.64.134.153 [13:08] can anyone tell me is there aby software package to change my MAC address besides macchanger????

[13:10] RioMerc; it gives you the option of where to save. [13:10] Jack_Sparrow: i dont have windoze now, but i changed the sound card recently [13:11] :O! [13:11] WHO'S CHANGING THEIR MAC?

[13:11] how i open files windows sharing pc [13:11] choward: do you any package [13:11] Wtf, Lambrini is deopped? [13:11] Moppa: And remember to add a hash (#) in front of the line if you use your computer on another network - otherwise your domain won't be accessible. What /etc/hosts do, is pointing a domain to a specific IP address - and obviously your locale IP won't be accessible from another network [13:11] choward: do you know any package [13:11] Jack_Sparrow hey Captain how is the ocean...i have a problem on uninstalling source based apps [13:11] thanks everyone [13:11] i will be back [13:11] Xman: What is wrong with macchanger?

Ubuntu works my computer unlike windows that just lays on the couch [13:12] choward: i ned to chang it [13:12] one way I could think of doing it is sharing a folder between the Xbox and your PC. then you just put the video you want to stream in that folder and use VLC on the xbox to stream it [13:12] Use that variable and you may be able to get the entire 2nd screen too [13:12] unop__ - 192.168.1.9 moppa.se mail.moppa.se wargame.moppa.se phpmyadmin.moppa.se [13:12] negge - any idea how one would go about doing that?

[13:12] Rando do you have linux installed on your xbox? [13:13] bastiz_raZor yes there is but i can't run this script [13:13] Christoz, Sorry, I doubt I will be here long enough to help with that. [13:13] choward, some ISPs require that your use a specific MAC address, maybe his does [13:13] pteague: How do you stop recording? [13:13] negge - I didn't know that linux could be installed on an xbox.... i have no mods or hacks or anything on the xbox. It is 100% untouched [13:13] jake2point0 use a diff screensaver or none at all.. screensavers are good for only one thing... crashing. [13:13] Jack_Sparrow np captain [13:13] jake2point0: Did you try clicking the mouse? The screensaver might be configured so it is only interupted on key presses or mouse click [13:13] hey people. What is the best method to create a backup image of an ubuntu partition? [13:13] in windows when we click on view workgroup computer then all pc having same workgroup will be showed how i open same workgrp pc frm ubuntu linux gutsy [13:13] it's from any video site and 8.2 [13:13] RioMerc> ctrl+c [13:14] Thanks :P [13:14] Christoz; if you can't run the uninstall script ... uh.. then how did you install it.. you have to have the same permission to install as uninstall [13:14] Jemt - 192.168.1.9 moppa.se mail.moppa.se wargame.moppa.se phpmyadmin.moppa.se int /etc/hosts and then restarting network didn't work. [13:14] terminal, in nautilus -- browse to smb://workgroup [13:14] ya i clicked my mouse but it didnt go away. mouse still moves freely though [13:14] Jemt - shall i restart apache and all other? [13:14] Rando if it's unmodded I don't think it's possible [13:14] Moppa: You don't have to restart the network - just the applications like your browser [13:14] Moppa: Nope [13:14] if you mod your xbox there's a special version of Ubuntu that installs on Xboxes [13:14] you think its the screensaver? [13:14] Moppa: Do a "killall firefox-bin" and then start firefox again [13:14] That's too bad [13:15] does any one know an opensource instant messenger that works with msn video and voice? [13:15] jake2point0 yup. [13:15] bastiz_razor hmm...can you remind me how to pastebin via console...i'll paste the console errors and the directory [13:15] negge: What's in these days? Hardware or Software hacking on the old 'box? [13:15] i already had a problem with acpi [13:15] unop: how to reach on nautilus [13:15] RioMerc; it also puts an icon in the toolbar you can click and it will stop recording [13:15] Jemt - no process terminated. wan't running [13:15] brap: You might be able to use amsn - don't know how much functionality they have implemented yet [13:15] terminal, nautilus is the file browser [13:15] Christoz: var | pastebinit [13:15] RioMerc I'm not that familiar with Xboxes but last time I checked the only mods available for the old Xbox are hardware mods [13:15] Kay [13:15] Jemt - still no luck [13:15] RioMerc but atleast you don't have to solder anything anymore [13:15] That's odd. Please pastebin all the content of your /etc/hosts file [13:16] negge: I remember that one of the MechWarrior games and I think a 007 game had a memory exploit that was used [13:16] !offtopic [13:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:16] Jemt, thanks :-) [13:16] brap: My pleasure :) [13:16] RioMerc could be, never heard of it though [13:16] I'm not very much into gaming [13:16] unop: i hav to install it or it is already installed [13:16] Heh [13:17] Xman .. no but most routers have an option to allow you to spoof a MAC address. I would start there.. you really shouldn't need to change your MAC of a network card for any normal activity. [13:17] choward: Why does he even need to change his MAC? [13:17] terminal, this is nautilus, http://www.marcelgagne.com/images/cwl2004/nautilus_smb.jpg [13:17] hmm... ok, so what key combo creates a sigterm? [13:17] Jemt - http://pastebin.com/d357be87e [13:17] Hello, does it possible to use scp to copy folder with sub-folders ? [13:17] ok i have a prob... im trying to get flash working... i have tried installing any and all codecs gstreamer and adobe flash... and all i get is a few secs of video and no sound... it's with any video site and i have 8.2 pls help [13:18] Odd [13:18] mat__: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [13:18] Moppa: What happens if you ping "moppa.se" now ? [13:18] RioMerc Who knows... :) I can't think of a good reason to ever change the MAC of a network card. Unless you are spoofing or hacking. [13:18] 'Zacktly [13:18] kate_mins, scp -r ... [13:18] Moppa: What IP does 'ping' show ? [13:18] bastid_raZor> what program would you suggest for editing the video created by recordmydesktop? :) [13:18] pteague, try VirtualDub, if there's a linux Version [13:19] bastiz_razor [13:19] bastiz_razor http://www.pastebin.ca/959432 [13:19] pteague; that i don't know. i've never edited it before [13:19] pteague you could use avimux [13:19] Jemt - from my machine? [13:19] Nvm what I said, VirtualDub is 'doze only [13:19] choward, RioMerc some ISPs require you use a specific MAC address on connections, it's to do with access control and switching [13:19] Oh [13:19] choward> does that use a GUI? [13:19] Jemt - shows my external ip [13:19] Christoz; you have to spell uninstall correctly. [13:19] RioMerc> does that edit ogg files? [13:19] pici i have the latest verson of ubuntu [13:20] Moppa: Yes, from your workstation [13:20] mat__: What version? 7.10? 8.04? [13:20] pteague: Probably, but It's 'doze only [13:20] Christoz; and that is wrong too.. try sudo ./uninstall [13:20] Moppa: You modified the /etc/hosts file on your WORKSTATION, right? Not the server [13:20] RioMerc oops [13:20] Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and [13:20] encoding tasks.

[13:20] Jemt - hahahaha, no, my server :P [13:20] unop: how i open nautilus [13:20] Jemt - will change (in shame :P) [13:20] You're lucky Lambrini isn't here, choward [13:20] Whoops. :-0 [13:20] !version | mat__ [13:20] Moppa: LOL, okay. The modification should be done on your workstation :) [13:20] mat__: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [13:20] Furthermore, It doesn't support ogg [13:20] 8.04 [13:20] guys i decided to erase entire hd and install my backed up ubuntu from scratch; i want two ext3 partitions; so i have to go manual mode in installer and create one ext3 with / mount point and another ext3; logical or extended? [13:21] Moppa: That's okay - guess I wasn't so clear about that :) [13:21] RioMerc> if it's built correctly it could run under wine... i run ies4linux, WoW, etc under wine just fine [13:21] Jemt - Yes, i can see tha now :P [13:21] |: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.

[13:23] This Ubuntu community realy helps its users [13:23] hehe - avidemux requires lame & toolame ... why would you label something lame? [13:23] Moppa: Welcome. Only thing is, you have to uncomment the line in /etc/hosts if you move your computer to another network - as I explained earlier :) [13:23] Moppa: Funny thing is; I'm using Debian :p [13:23] Moppa: Just like Ubuntu too :) [13:23] Lame is Another MP3 Encoder [13:23] Christoz; i don't know either :\ [13:23] Guys how do i create two partitions using gutsy installer? Which has to be extended/logical? Will automated formatting ask me for the number of partitions? [13:23] Jemt - I understand :). Well, i have fallen for ubuntu now and thrown out xp from my laptop :) === Administrator is now known as zack1 [13:24] choward> yeah i know... just a funny name [13:24] bastid_raZor i'll do some googling [13:24] Moppa: Good for you!

Thank God I'm no longer using Windows :) [13:25] bah - avidemux - "Attempt to open ..../out.ogg failed!"

[13:29] choward> hehe, it's just that i'm only getting 3.2 of 4g ram & the other day i discovered i was using swap space... firefox was over 600 mb ram, konqueror was about 400 mb, thunderbird was around 300mb i think & it dropped drastically from there [13:29] It was a joke. A good one too [13:29] but it is funnier when the letters are big and scarry.. [13:30] archman you don't need to ask to ask... just ask. heheh. [13:30] :P [13:30] Wait, it's better if... [13:30] Why would a modprobe command do nothing? I typed in "sudo modprobe -r airo" but nothing happens [13:30] can i ask to ask? :) [13:31] if you get nothing it probably worked zack1 ..

[13:34] hi people, I would like to translate boot menu on livecd to slovenian language - in hardy it is only partial translated. How to do that? [13:34] question in the open... if you have a laptop which has a PS/2 touchpad and a PS/2 trackstick with mouse buttons on the same bus... how do you get ubuntu to see both when it usually sees only the touchpad? [13:34] Damnit, Ubuntu needs a HardwareDB [13:34] maybe, but is there any way I could stop it from coming? Sometimes when I actually need to get some real infomation, its stupid to have to search for it from a mass of those messages [13:34] dijenerate: I think there's ##hardware for that [13:34] !hcl | RioMerc [13:34] RioMerc: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [13:34] dijenerate i would guess you have to have it added in your xorg.conf [13:34] Lol [13:34] Thanks, Pici [13:34] RioMerc: sure thing [13:34] Bookmarked [13:34] zack1, Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions .. then /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file. [13:34] archman run the Ubuntu Live/Install CD and when it gets to the disk partitionar select manual. Then create three partions, two for Ubuntu and one for swap [13:35] guys quick question does xubuntu have same repos as ubuntu? [13:35] Jack_Sparrow, Is that keybound? :P [13:35] Jahromeo - they all do [13:35] zackl: both? even tho' dmesg only reports one at boot time? [13:35] choward: i know that; what i dont know is the mount point [13:35] I take it archman you want two partitions for Ubuntu or are you dual-booting with windows? [13:36] choward: i want clean ubuntu machine [13:36] archman one of the mount points has to be \ [13:36] x k n' edu [13:36] Jahromeo: Most of them are the same, but xubuntu is just pretty much more stripped, so it has the same "repos", but much less [13:36] choward: maybe / ? you mean? [13:36] thanks [13:36] Well gents [13:36] I'm AFK [13:36] can someone try if "ssh spydon.is-a-geek.net" works? [13:36] also is mythtv supported in ubuntu repos? [13:36] yeah [13:36] or what would a good tv solution be for an old pc i want to make into a tv machine [13:37] there's actually a mythbuntu [13:37] I'd make the other partition /home... yes / been working on Windows server 2003 all week. [13:37] how old? [13:37] plan to pvr? [13:37] choward: so one is / and the other is...? [13:37] its an old 550 mhz box - its just gonna run an old flyvideo card, no recording [13:37] just pure and simple a tv [13:37] choward: maybe /media ? [13:37] I get muh slashes mixed up when RDCing into a Windows server from my Ubuntu desktop. [13:38] cool [13:38] spydon: works [13:38] i just need to check if my old lifeview card is supported in mythtv - is that the recommended program to use? [13:38] thx skarface [13:38] !tv | Jahromeo check here [13:38] Jahromeo check here: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [13:38] havnt run a linux tv box b4 [13:38] archman no do not use /media Ubuntu uses this mount point for removable devices. [13:38] dunno mythtv well enough, but it should do [13:38] What do you want the other mount point for archman? [13:38] zackl: cat /dev/psaux only reports something when the trackpad is touched, not the trackstick or mouse buttons [13:39] archman: / would be your root mount point, where /home stores the user files [13:39] thanks guys [13:39] i would suggest 10GB for / and rest for /home [13:39] choward: i want two partitions, ext3... [13:39] archman: i'd recommend a root ( / ) and a /home [13:39] lol@anox === dooley is now known as doolz [13:39] dijenerate: if you are looking for a (combined) mouse device you should have a look at /dev/input/mice [13:40] dijenerate: event generated by *all* connected mice should end up there [13:40] DuperMan: so i create one /, one /home, and one for swap? that's it? [13:40] yeah [13:40] sp: did that too only reports for trackpad [13:40] make /swap = size of your RAM [13:40] DuperMan: why lol ? [13:40] archman make /swap 1.5-2x RAM [13:40] DuperMan: will /home be automatically mounted the first time i enter ubuntu? [13:40] choward: even better [13:40] i've been writing the same forever anon [13:41] sp: problem is they are both on the same bus, so I don't know how to get them both seen [13:41] choward: it has to be 0.5 RAM... [13:41] and you beat me to it [13:41] stupid umpc kb:P [13:41] me fucky fucky Fatima Zahra (prophet Muhammad's daughter) [13:41] swap has to be atleast the size of the ram [13:41] me so horny [13:41] me fucky fucky Fatima Zahra (prophet Muhammad's daughter) [13:41] choward: 0.5 % [13:41] dijenerate: that sounds weird... /dev/input/mice should report back for all mice, as its name suggests [13:41] yes. /home will serve as home "folder" [13:41] archman if you have 2GB RAM you want your /swap partition to be 2-4GB [13:42] sp: I know... hence my seeking expert help [13:42] also nicer to have old disc for swap [13:42] sp: This is on the Flipstart E1001S btw, http://www.flipstartpc.com [13:42] this is dull, why not just google "ubuntu installation" :D [13:42] . /swap is not like the windows swap file. it is its own partition and linux uses it well... [13:42] choward: i have 1.2 gigs now, and swap is 500; it no problem; i always though swap is half the ram...goood...:-( [13:43] dijenerate: how are both devices connected to the system? [13:43] Swap should be larger than the ram you have if you ever plan on hibernating your system. [13:43] archman, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [13:43] anyone ever tried setting swap to sdhc/dok? [13:44] swap must not be larger than your RAM [13:44] anox: Excuse me? Why not? [13:44] its a good to have features in case you upgrade [13:44] turdega: so i see....sorry [13:44] *feature [13:44] sp: on the same internal PS/2 port (like a barcode reader and mouse sharing the same PS/2 port) [13:44] anox: wtf?????now???? [13:44] if i want to make vfat partition mounted as READ ONLY what do i put for mount options? [13:44] hmmm,,, swap can be bigger [13:44] swap has to be at least the size of your RAM if you want to hibernate [13:45] archman, no problem, this will tell you about how to size and create your swap partition to your needs. personally I go with RAM * 2 [13:45] jack_sparrow Ok I did what you except how do I provide a link to the uploaded file? do you mean the one I downloaded and that was supposively uploaded? [13:45] dijenerate: ok, that sounds weird, but I just noticed that I am not receiving events from my touchpad via /dev/input/mice either [13:45] * DuperMan is ir-seasick [13:45] anox: I just said that, you said it needed to be *smaller* [13:45] Pici: i did not say that [13:45] dijenerate: what does "dmesg | grep -i mouse" say? does it give you a hint at one /class/input/inputN device? [13:45] zack1__, PLease read what you wrote and re-phrase it? [13:45] anox: swap must not be larger than your RAM [13:45] i think im going to make one ntfs, and one ext3 and swap.... [13:45] set it to twice the ram [13:46] " swap must not be larger than your RAM" [13:46] sp: windows has a driver that creates a virtual controller device for the trackstick so it can differentiate [13:46] no case not to with current discs [13:46] can i exclude files with remastersys backup tool? [13:46] "not larger" does not mean smaller.. [13:46] if i want to make vfat partition mounted as READ ONLY what do i put for mount options? [13:46] sp: I'll tell u in a bit.. re-installing studio 8.04 beta now [13:46] anox tell that to my girlfriend. [13:47] hehe [13:47] anox: it means 'smaller or equal' [13:47] is there a tool for measuring pixels on the desktop? [13:47] ok i meant equal [13:47] Jack, sorry I wasn't paying attention. I did what you said to do about my sound except I have not posted on #alsa yet because you said I needed to post a link to the uploaded file. Which uploaded file are you referring to? [13:47] dijenerate: also, there might be multiple /dev/input/mouseN devices [13:47] a ruler [13:47] :P [13:47] guys can i exclude the whole folders with remastersys?? [13:47] dijenerate: you can have a look at that whilst installing actually [13:47] <--has never used remastersys [13:47] not really ubuntu related but what the hey- any one here experienced ruby users? [13:47] what can i use for tv if i dont need pvr, myth and mythbuntu both seem to be for faster machines than i have in mind [13:47] sorry napi [13:47] what is a basic tv client [13:47] DuperMan> thanks - kruler was what i was looking for :) [13:48] napi: Try #ruby [13:48] zack1__, when you run that script.. it returns a link to the pastebin. that is what you give to the people in #Alsa [13:48] wish i was:) [13:48] wish i was:) [13:48] Pici trying it... loads of people, no one says anything... ever :o [13:48] jack, where do i find this link?

[14:25] vidalia [14:25] thanks for the nudge towards xchat [14:25] quanquan, don't just burn the one file to the cd, we get some people that do that, an iso is an image of a disc [14:25] It's up and running, and I think it'll do the job [14:25] archman make / 15GB and /swap 2GB and /home the rest. just type /home in the mount point field in the Ubuntu partitioner step of the install.

If so, go to System>Administration>Software sources in Gnome and pick new mirrors [14:36] Pici: if I had a gui, id have been done ages ago [14:37] its a machine I cant get to [14:37] and doesnt have x installed [14:37] moving on to ontopic then: when I'm trying to upgrade to gutsy I'm getting this error 'Failed to fetch http://repository.debuntu.org/dists/feisty/Release Unable to find expected entry universe/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)' [14:37] El1, are you using a proxy? [14:37] basically, ive ssh access and thats it [14:37] not using a proxy [14:38] renski, the ubuntu sources.list generator you mentioned is now offline :( [14:38] E11 you should not use a feisty repository if you are upgradng to gutsy [14:38] El1: Remove/comment that repo from your sources.list or use Software Sources to remove it. === albyyx is now known as [agatha] [14:38] El1: what is that repo for? that is not one of the usual ubuntu ones [14:38] <[agatha]> hmm no El1 that didn't work :P [14:38] alright, so how do go about setting up my repos list then? [14:38] ok will try that pici [14:38] renski, want mine? [14:38] hey people. I keep getting into trouble with my extranal usb harddrive with ntfs filesystem. It works nicely under Ubuntu, but when I try to use it in Windows, I get access denied errors. As administrator I have to reset all the rights on the external harddrive before I can use it. Any ideas to why this is? [14:39] So I have been fooling around with the 8.04 beta and the wubi installation method and I think it is brilliant. However, at the beginning of the process you are asked to specify a size for the installation and I have a few questions about that. [14:39] agatha I don't know what else you could try except uninstalling emerald, I'm a real noob myself you see :P [14:39] E|1 check your /etc/apt/sources.list file and change any fiesty to gutsy or comment them out. save and apt-get update/upgrade [14:39] #ubuntu+1 for that please TheFool [14:39] is yours drake? [14:39] quick question, If I have a newer version of a program (in a .deb) then the one I have installed, can I just start the deb or should I uninstall first? [14:39] ok [14:39] <[agatha]> El1, no worries at least you tried :) [14:39] TheFool: what about it? [14:39] renski ? [14:39] ok thanks chow [14:39] np ag :-) [14:40] source list, is it setup for dapper drake [14:40] One does the file created "grow" or does it start out full size, and two is it possible to change that file size at a later date? [14:40] skyhook, the package, if properly done, removes the old package [14:40] bazhang,are you chinese? [14:40] Svenstaro: okay thanks [14:40] renski, afraid not, a google might help [14:40] bazhang,bazhang,bazhang,beep,beep~~~~~~~~~~~~ [14:40] TheFool: this is hardy please go to the other channel [14:40] TheFool I would choose around 8-10GB for an install. Ubuntu can see NTFS flie systems and can "share" the Windows C: drive. [14:40] quanquan: this is not a chat channel thanks [14:41] Ive tried google, all I can see if people saying they should use synaptic instead [14:41] and about how the sources.list file works, but no where to get a list of mirrors [14:41] bazhang: I have, however I was asked in this channel to elaborate further. It would have been rude of me to do otherwise [14:41] TheFool: not so; this is explicitly not the channel for that [14:42] then,which channel i should join in?

[14:43] it's ok now [14:43] !upgrade | El1 [14:43] El1: you then need to apt-get update [14:43] El1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [14:44] right, sorry [14:44] TheFool: This question seems to more of a wubi question than a hardy question. So I will be willing to answer that to the best of my knowledge. :) 1. It starts out full size. and 2. you can not grow it, unless you move it to its own deicated partiton.

[16:40] perlmonkey2, place to ask is #ubuntu+1 [16:40] keith, right here [16:40] thanks [16:40] DRebellion: thanks [16:40] my CPU (or GFX) fan is loud, althrough nothing hardware-demanding is running. im also getting poor performance in tremulous - 15 FPS at worst, i think im getting alot of hardware interrupts. top :Cpu(s): 5.4%us, 1.5%sy, 0.5%ni, 79.8%id, 4.5%wa, 8.3%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [16:41] i've tried to install yahoo messenger and i get nowhere [16:41] crazy_elf, Are you trying to move something to an externel disk? [16:41] hello there, which program is the best for a modem dial-up with a user interface ? [16:41] boris_, specs? [16:41] neopsyche: please don't query me without asking. i cannot answer you anyway, i am not registered [16:41] yay good news it accepted the drivers i got and the card now says in use so now how do i go about connecting my card to my router o.o [16:41] ok [16:42] madwifi specific? [16:42] keith, yahoo messenger? that's windows software? [16:42] rausb0,see above [16:42] captainm, no just like dragging an icon from say one side of the desktop to the other. It copies instead of moving. yet... it never used to do it, it used to just move it. Pushing shift every time to make it just move is a little annoying when trying to clean up the desktop [16:42] there is a Linux version [16:42] verb3k: 3.0 GHZ intel pentium 4, 2 gb of RAM, ATI HD2600PRO, fglrx, my xorg listy my old graphics card which i removed as well. my sound card sometimes doesnt work after reboot [16:42] lists* [16:42] is there a command here to get rid of all the joins and quits? [16:43] boris_, strange that you get 15 FPS with this machine... [16:43] keith, what client you using? [16:43] verb3k: yesterday i got 90 [16:43] verb3k: did u see my top ? [16:43] neopsyche: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/AdHoc <-- old docs, not valid anymore [16:43] which program is the best for a modem dial-up with a user interface ? [16:44] verb3k: a guy said im getting alot of hw interruptions [16:44] verb3k: i could even play Crysis with my machine [16:44] verb3k: like i said, my CPU wont shut up [16:44] thanks [16:45] crazy_elf, no idea, all the references on the web have no answer... let me look into it [16:45] boris_, I see.... Some tremulous maps are not optimized, so even if you can play crysis at maxed settings you will get poor FPS. For example, the A.C.T.S map works fine because it's well optimized for the game [16:45] neopsyche: you must use wlanconfig [16:45] verb3k: its not tremulous' problem [16:45] Kalamarencu, thanks. I would appreciate that. [16:46] verb3k: its my machine's problem. the map was archnid and ive played it a hundred times before [16:46] verb3k: i installed fglrx and put HD2600Pro in yesterday [16:46] verb3k: though yesterday tremulous was running at 90 FPS [16:46] boris_, are you sure it has nothing to do with network issues? [16:47] i need a gui program to connect to the internet using a dial-up modem [16:47] any suggestions ? [16:47] verb3k: why would my CPU be loud then ? [16:47] crazy_elf, what if you press f5 after clicking on the desktop? Do the icons disappear? [16:47] i'm using LostIRC [16:47] crazy_elf, never mind, you said you can hold down shift === z0man is now known as z0man-b [16:47] space/1x1.gif [16:47] space/12x1.gif test space/12x1.gif [16:47] space/1x1.gif [16:47] qqqqqq === z0man-b is now known as z0man === trevortwining is now known as tt_away [16:47] boris_, hmm mysterious question :) [16:47] neopsyche: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/AdHocInterface [16:47] Q: My SSH connection freezes after partial complete output of common functions like: "ls, cat, top, ps" Any idead how I can start to investigate? [16:47] keith, never heard of that one, sorry [16:48] verb3k: its driving me nuts [16:48] can you suggest a client for me? [16:48] rumh, "partial complete output"??????? [16:48] keith, i use xchat [16:48] where do i get that? [16:48] DRebellion: Yeah I saw that after I hit enter.. must be partial output, sorry [16:48] keith, It's in the repos [16:48] rumh: try lowering the mtu size on the client size. if that helps, some router on the way to the ssh server drops all icmp packets (which is totally braindead) [16:49] *client side [16:49] keith, system -> administration -> synaptic package manager. install the package "xchat". [16:49] i'm real new here [16:49] what are repos? [16:49] this is my first day [16:49] wlanconfig: ioctl: Operation not permitted [16:49] rausb0 thanks, I'll try [16:49] i finally got the network working [16:49] neopsyche, perhaps prefix with sudo? [16:49] boris_, probably you have to clean your fan? or replace it? does it work without noise in windows or other distros? [16:49] keith, Applications > Add/ Remove and search for xchat [16:49] hey guys, anyone know why the Esperanto language pack isn't working? [16:49] did anyone who is running hardy beta just upgrade their liferea package? [16:50] verb3k: ill try cleaning it. it worked yesterday [16:50] !repos > keith [16:50] aanderse, #ubuntu+1 is of more help for you [16:50] thanks [16:50] verb3k: the card worked in windows, but i had to remove it when using linux because of lack of drivers [16:50] DRebellion,thanks [16:51] boris_, I see [16:51] there are 2 here......xchat irc and xchat gnome irc chat [16:51] captainm, correct. would it be in the nautilus settings? [16:51] Does anyone know if there is anything in linux similiar to battlechess? Where the pieces fight? [16:51] verb3k: ive returned to linux when i hoped there'll be drivers that really support my card [16:51] ATI always sucked [16:51] crazy_elf, I've been looking around the preferences but can't find anything [16:51] verb3k: i found out they dont, so i was forced to put my old one, radeon 9550 in, till yesterday when i realized the driver finally works [16:52] captainm, could I possibly resolve it by reinstalling gnome? [16:52] captainm: thanks [16:52] verb3k: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=941 [16:52] boris_, nice, you should enjoy all those fancy compiz tricks now :) [16:52] crazy_elf, that'll probably work. It's a drastic solution though! [16:52] verb3k: my name on there is Boris Kuster, u can see my xorg and lspci and fglrx there [16:52] verb3k: i cant because of this stupid issue [16:52] when i play online movies in totem the film is chopy some times how can i fix it [16:53] Hi folks. I logged in to my desktop and the ~/Desktop folder is a link to a filesystem that was not on-line. The desktop icons started to reflect ~ instead of ~/Desktop contents, even after I fixed and the file system is available. What file should I erase (or change) to make Gnome desktop behave as I expect it to and to reflect ~/Desktop instead of ~? [16:53] UbuntuJay: What type of connection are you running? [16:53] verb3k: i just found out compiz doesnt seem to be getting CPU issues, althrough im having trouble spinning cube and playing a movie [16:54] i have 1500 download and a 380 up cable internet [16:54] boris_, don't think you're alone, even Nvidia has many issues but at least better than ATI [16:54] verb3k: aw fck, the movie keeps getting black [16:54] Oh, Well, all I can is use a different player like MPlayer or VLC [16:54] UBUNTUJAY123, probably the source's connection? [16:55] captainm, true... but I have my theme and most stuff like that backed up, so it shouldn't take too long to get it back up. I'll just switch to kde or xfce and clean it up. maybe then it'll act better. I did install kdm would that mess with things? [16:55] MPlayer is totme [16:55] lmao [16:56] UBUNTUJAY123, no totem isn't mplayer [16:56] so how i get MPlayer as default [16:56] crazy_elf, are you on 7.10 with Gnome 2.20.1? If you boot into xfce, do you have the same problem? [16:56] uninstall totme [16:57] holaaaaaaaaaaa [16:57] crazy_elf: not normally. What was your original problem? [16:57] holaaaaaaaaaaa [16:57] wyrhg [16:57] Hey everyone bit of a noob question im running a 64bit version of ubuntu gutsy and when i try install mplayer it says i have missing dependencies for example "mplayer: Depends: libartsc0 (>= 1.5.0-1) but it is not installable" plz pm me if you can help it would be much appreciated [16:57] is there a way I can set Deluge to encrypt my torrent traffic? [16:57] soundray, when he tries to drag an icon, it copies it instead of dragging it. He can prevent this by pressing the shift key [16:57] kalamarencu, yes that is what i'm on. But it happened shortly after I installed ubuntu studio packages to my normal ubuntu install. [16:58] weird... [16:58] tushyd: did you look in preferences and enable there? [16:58] captainm, just the icon dragging accross the desktop causes it to copy not move === danux_ is now known as [Danux] [16:58] crazy_elf, try that in xfce see if you get the same issue [16:58] crazy_elf, I can't imagine installing kde could be the problem but you could always try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" [16:58] seamus7, no where would i do that? [16:59] i need to run update-initramfs [16:59] i get [16:59] root@ubuntu:/# update-initramfs -u -k all [16:59] update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-486 [16:59] rm: cannot remove `/tmp/mkinitramfs_l19720/scripts': Function not implemented [16:59] rm: cannot remove `/tmp/mkinitramfs_l19720/sbin': Function not implemented [16:59] rm: cannot remove `/tmp/mkinitramfs_l19720/conf': Function not implemented [16:59] sheep34: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:59] UBUNTUJAY123: you use the Preferred Applications caplet to set mplayer as your default multimedia and use gconf-editor for more advanced editing of your multimedia settings. No warranties that you'll not break your desktop settings if you don't know what you are doing though. [16:59] crazy_elf, I know [16:59] hi everyone [16:59] tushyd: ummmm .... the preferences icon ... or right click the deluge icon and choose ... preferences [16:59] Thanks Kalamarencu. crazy_elf, I would try to see if this happens with another user [16:59] seamus7, oh, it's already enabled, but I got a DMCA letter from my ISP??? [16:59] how does that work? [17:00] crazy_elf: if it doesn't, the problem is in your $HOME -- no use to reinstall anything. [17:00] tushyd:DMCA? [17:00] what is the difference between ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 [17:00] kalamarencu, doesn't do that in xfce. [17:00] ? [17:00] !hardy [17:00] 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 [17:00] LIST *C* [17:00] can anyone help? [17:00] !hardy @ iraz [17:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about hardy @ iraz - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:00] soundray, hum... so would the dpkg reconfigure possibly fix it? [17:00] tushyd: What's a DMCA letter? [17:00] iraz: !hardy [17:00] seamus7, like a letter from my ISP saying that NBC Universal sent a warning to them [17:01] crazy_elf: not if the problem is in your user configuration [17:01] DRebellion,ok .. now that i have set up adhoc using the guide.. [17:01] what next? [17:01] neopsyche, i don't know [17:01] ok mon cu [17:01] DRebellion, ok [17:01] Muses: it looks like you need to run 'sudo apt-get update' and try again [17:01] soundray, hum... ok so if it is say my user configuration what would you recommend? creating a new name moving stuff over? (not near the pc atm) [17:01] can anyone help? [17:02] Hey everyone bit of a noob question im running a 64bit version of ubuntu gutsy and when i try install mplayer it says i have missing dependencies for example "mplayer: Depends: libartsc0 (>= 1.5.0-1) but it is not installable" plz pm me if you can help it would be much appreciated [17:02] tushyd: oh. Other than the encryption I suppose you can go through a proxy ... notice the proxy tab in preferences in Deluge ... I've never done that but you might start by looking in the deluge forums [17:02] i have a problem running this command http://pastebin.com/m3e53d194 [17:02] What speed should I use to burn a DVD ISO of Gutsy? [17:02] seamus7, ok thanks [17:02] Tailsfan: 4x is a good speed. [17:03] OK [17:03] which would work faster on a P3 where I would only use 2 applications: Xubuntu or Kubuntu? [17:03] crazy_elf: you can reset your gnome configuration by logging into failsafe mode (or KDE) and deleting ~/.gnome, ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gconf [17:03] what should i type for keys .. for wep keys? [17:03] to set a wep key [17:03] Because the last time I burned a DVD of Gutsy, The MD5s we're messed up [17:03] sinbox, probably Xubuntu, but how much memory do you have [17:03] tushyd: and use a blocklist ... that's in the plugin section of deluge [17:03] sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "private77" mode Ad-Hoc Keys: [17:03] ??? [17:03] seamus7, ahh, thanks [17:03] Hi folks. I logged in to Gnome (Gutsy) while the ~/Desktop folder (really a symlink to another filesystem) was not available. The desktop icons started to reflect the contents of ~ instead of ~/Desktop. The behavior continued even after I fixed the symlink and logged off. What file should I erase (or change) to make Gnome desktop behave as I expect it to and to reflect ~/Desktop instead of ~? BTW, is this the right channel for this? [17:04] soundray, I will try that. Thanks a million. :D [17:04] crazy_elf: note, you'll lose all your personalized settings [17:04] rbanffy: have you tried looking in gconf-editor? [17:04] there is 512 in there for now and that I think is a minimum for audacity live recordings tushyd but I could add more, [17:05] agile: say what what? === [_Snarf_] is now known as TehSnarf [17:05] soundray, yeah but that won't take very long to redo. 5 minutes at max to re set my stuff up. no biggie [17:05] SuperLag, was misdirected tab completion earlier, sorry. :) [17:05] im running a 64bit version of ubuntu gutsy and when i try install mplayer it says i have missing dependencies for example "mplayer: Depends: libartsc0 (>= 1.5.0-1) but it is not installable" plz pm me if you can help it would be much appreciated [17:06] agile: just found it. No worries. [17:06] aanderse: Yes. Couldn't find the setting for this. Any hints? [17:06] rbanffy: i can't say for sure, but i really thought i saw that in there once... looking [17:06] aanderse: BTW, could you search for "~/Desktop" in the values? [17:06] rbanffy-> why is the Desktop in another filesystem? whats the purpose of doing such? [17:07] I want to download network-manager-gnome and gnome-nettool fro mthe gutsy repositories on a non ubuntu machine. How do I find the URLs? [17:07] lol guys i accedently uninstalled netowk manager how do i re-install without a network connectoion? [17:07] hi [17:07] how can i start runlevel 3 without starting the x server? [17:07] Muses: why isn't it installable? is it not available, or it has some other problem? [17:07] amenado: more than one version of Ubuntu installed, but I wanted my desktop to be the same. Worked very well for the past like 3 years [17:08] rbanffy: hmmm no ~/Desktop isn't in there... [17:08] SuperSayjin, packages.ubuntu.com [17:08] rbanffy-> after you fixed the symlink or rather mounted the filesystem at boot..works okay now? try to reboot and test [17:08] aanderse i pmed you the result of what i get when i "sudo apt-get install mplayer" [17:08] it happens with other stuff i try install like the ugly set codecs [17:08] I'm having trouble with converting videos to ipod format... I keep getting an error "Unknown codec 'libfaac'", which from as far as I can tell is installed... For the full log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61228/ [17:09] same errors. [17:09] Muses: i never received a pm, are you authed? [17:09] mm not sure [17:09] Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have [17:09] requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable [17:09] distribution that some required packages have not yet been created [17:09] or been moved out of Incoming. [17:09] Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that [17:09] the package is simply not installable and a bug report against [17:09] Muses: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:09] So, my compiz refuses to decorate my windows for me. I've tried gtk, kwin, and metacity. My windows still are not decorated. In ccsm, Window Decorator is selected. What gives here? [17:09] why is postgresql-8.3 install using server_encoding LATIN1? (I am hoping there is some system wide setting I can set before I install it) [17:09] can u install it from the cd? [17:09] Muses: what version of ubuntu are you using? gutsy 64bit? or hardy 64bit? other? [17:09] Lunar_Lamp-> same url as used in sources.list, find which url you used.. [17:10] gutsy 64 [17:10] CarlFK: because that's what it uses [17:10] CarlFK: why what encoding do you want? [17:10] kitche: utf8 [17:10] when I use the past_bin what syntax do I use for it? [17:10] aanderse: bkor on #nautilus pointed to the .config/user-dirs.dirs file. Editing it and killing nautilus worked [17:10] CarlFK: look up the postgres documentation and they tell you how to do it [17:11] amenado: Nautilus (or something deeper) decided to save the new setting in the .config/user-dirs.dirs [17:11] aanderse-==> gutsy 64 [17:11] rbanffy: ah, awesome glad to hear you got it working :) [17:11] kitche: kinda. i have to remove part of the current install, and when I tried that I think I removed too much. I would hope I could define it as part of the install [17:11] Muses: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libartsc0 [17:12] Laptop still doesnt see other wireless card. [17:12] Muses: that is an option (install it manually from the web) [17:12] but [17:12] instead [17:12] yeah [17:12] k [17:13] Aanderse = will try that [17:13] Muses: have you looked for a 64 bit version of mplayer in various repositories? [17:13] aanderse: Thanks [17:13] amenado: Thanks [17:13] i would type something like "sudo apt-get -f install" [17:13] rausb0, i seem to have it configured now but the laptop doesnt see the connection? [17:13] rbanffy-> you're welcome [17:13] Muses: maybe you have some weird stuff going with your apt, that would clean it out (re sudo apt-get -f install [17:13] * renski pokes bruno_ [17:13] .join #ubuntu-server [17:13] bah [17:14] neopsyche: do you actually know what ad-hoc mode is? [17:14] I have an graphic issue in 3d games; atleast quake3, yesterday everything worked fine I run fglrx, Xgl now I get this: http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shot0000nq6.jpg ... and no clue what caused it, i know the only last applications i installed was win32codecs and totem-xine [17:14] why is murrine theme so slow on my ubuntu? [17:14] rausb0,computer to computer? [17:14] and my boot time got delayed too, by like 30 seconds or so, realy strange [17:14] neopsyche: yes, wireless connection without need for an AP [17:15] rausb0,could you help me with this.? [17:15] neopsyche: both cards must support ad-hoc mode and must be set manually to the same essid and channel [17:15] rausb0,it seems desktop can see the laptop.. [17:15] rausb0,but not other way around [17:15] rausb0,ok.. how do i set it? [17:15] hello [17:15] rausb0,oh .. same [17:15] Aanderse => that didnt work... still gives back the same error... broken packages. [17:16] best dvd authoring software? I want to be able to a) convert files to dv with the frontend, and at least create the file-system if not burn. [17:16] rbanffy-> after looking at that file, i dont think your issue is resolved til the other filesystem is mounted [17:16] Muses: which didn't work; installing from website, or sudo apt-get -f install ? [17:16] why canonical discontinue support for UltraSPARC procesors? http://www.techit.pl/Aktualnosci/View.aspx?983.ubuntu+bez+sun+ultrasparc [17:16] i need to prepare ubuntu certification lpi [17:16] which version of ubuntu i have to pratice ? [17:16] website. [17:17] liek [17:17] amenado: The file system is mounted on boot. A glitch prevented it from being mounted last time. Sometimes I wonder if the uuid mechanism is really a step forward. [17:17] Muses: try the "sudo apt-get -f install" command in a terminal [17:17] aanderse - the package installed but when i tried apt-getting mplayer again it gave the same result. [17:17] the deb file you linked me installed without a problem. [17:17] oh [17:17] What would be the best image to mirror a drive onto another server? its a 400GB drive so DD is out of the question, any other method that uses open source? [17:18] bigjohnto, why is dd out of the question? [17:18] biggahed, why is DD out of the question ? [17:18] try using dd to image a 400gb drive, its darn slow [17:18] bigjohnto: dd | bzip2 ? [17:18] which version of ubuntu i have to pratice ? [17:18] rbanffy-> i agree, i do not like the use of uuid in the fstab, makes mine faults, somehow it does not find the swap with the correct uuid, so i dont get a swap [17:18] biggahed, dd is just as fast as it can be, it does raw reading/writing [17:18] bigjohnto, why would you rule out dd? [17:18] Muses: definitely just try a "sudo apt-get -f install" and then a "sudo apt-get autoremove" [17:18] for lpi [17:19] again because its slow, i was wondering if there was some sort of way to dump just the data and partition info so that it could be a lot quicker then doing byte by byte copy [17:19] rausb0, it seems they are connected now.. i have two bars on gnome [17:19] neopsyche: i don't care about bars.. i don't use gui tools for wireless [17:19] amenado: BTW, I was running without a swap. Thanks. That too courtesy of uuid changes [17:19] bigjohnto, you just need to set dd options for whatever size you need, you will not get anything faster than dd, since it does raw I/O [17:19] k [17:20] bigjohnto, Lamego already said dd is as fast as it gets -- all imaging progras do the same thing [17:20] bigjohnto: partimage, it doesn't copy free space [17:20] amenado: What was so wrong with /dev/sda4 anyway? [17:20] bigjohnto: check out SystemRescueCD which includes it [17:20] astro76 thanks i will check that out [17:20] rbanffy-> ahh i thought i was the only one..i dont know whose bright idea was it to use uuid..its a step back in my opinion [17:21] I can remember /dev/sda4 much better than 6f31e46e-4b50-4726-aee7-1da77af63a10 [17:21] aanderse -> didnt work :-( [17:21] rbanffy: badblocks -sv /dev/sda4 [17:21] master_alvaro: ?! [17:21] im in trouble with swap partitions...i changed the position of my swap partition. it was on sda1, now its sda5. i also changed it in /etc/fstab but on boot kinit says http://phpfi.com/305669 and then it doesnt continue to boot [17:22] Muses: hmmm... i'm not sure what the problem is, you should probably post in ubuntuforums.org i guess :\ sorry [17:22] rbanffy-> i dont know what is wrong with /dev/sda4 on yours [17:22] rbanffy: fyi you can still use /dev entries in fstab [17:22] hello [17:22] sry, my mistake, another canal ;p [17:22] rbanffy: ^^ [17:22] i need to prepare ubuntu certification lpi what version of ubuntu i have to train ? [17:22] how do i check my lan settings agian? [17:23] mm its all good aanderse thanks for your time i think its has something to do with running a 64bit system... coz my 32bit system didnt have a problem. [17:23] rausb0,i was just letting you know incase you knew what was going on. [17:23] astro76: Still, I have to undo whatever the installed did every time it does it.

[18:17] iraz, iirc, there are two exams for both [18:17] This has been a pet peeve of mine when I got started with Ubuntu, if you wanted to do something crazy (something that's a no-no but is possible technically) like auto-login as root or stop tune2fs from checking the filesystem at startup, nobody would help you ... go figure [18:18] rexy_: http://pastebin.ca/959796 [18:18] soundray: i know that dude, i just want them to install them manually [18:18] Toznoshio, i could tell him how, but it's not his real problem [18:18] hey, greetings, i need some help with my sound, these are all the output of the configuration files, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61229/ [18:18] rexy_: well its a portable drive so I want to set the permissions so I can use it as such and take it to any linux px and it _just_work_ [18:18] rexy_: do you know how? [18:18] stinger05: do not assume that it is okay to address just anyone as 'dude' [18:19] unop: is there any tutorial to prepare the exam ? [18:19] LinuxMercedes, what kind of hard disk do you have? [18:19] rexy_: it's a disk image [18:19] soundray: well i meant it in a nice way :D [18:19] iraz, i'm not sure of free ones -- but have a look on !google [18:19] rexy_: andlinux lets you load a linux kernel in windows via colinux, so everythings in a disk image or two [18:20] Anyone know how to get gnome to launch irssi in eterm... I'm using the same command i did in kde [18:20] Eterm --borderless --shade 70 --scrollbar=false --buttonbar=false --geometry=140x50+550+0 irssi [18:20] ah [18:20] but it doesn't work [18:20] fuhreal, eterm -e irssi [18:20] Toznoshio: Ubuntu is fairly prescriptive in some ways. Not helping people stepping out of line saves support work in the long run. There's always Linux from Scratch for those more experimental purposes :) [18:20] stinger05: I know, I'm just saying. [18:20] unop: do u have that certification ? [18:20] Sup everyone [18:20] unop: thanks thats what i was missing [18:20] iraz, i don't no, but maybe someday i hope to have it [18:20] so am i.. :) [18:21] anyway, is there some list for the kde libraires for ubuntu gutsy ? [18:21] Next question .. is there not a hotkey functoin like ALT+Right click in Gnome to resize windows? [18:21] LinuxMercedes, well it's mounted as ext3, so i think it cant be an ext2, but it's still weird it takes so long to check [18:21] hello [18:21] rexy_: there were, I think, directions to disable tune2fs checking or something online, but I can't remember [18:22] hey, greetings, i need some help with my sound, i have a laptop Asus F3 series, these are all the outputs of the configuration files, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61229/ [18:22] LinuxMercedes, man tune2fs [18:22] !fstab [18:22] 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 [18:22] with -c 0 you can turn it off permanently [18:22] do u suggest any book to prepare that exam ? [18:22] rexy_: ok, I'll do that, unless you've got a different idea for me, as I don't want to break stuff =] [18:23] LinuxMercedes, It will destroy the disk at some point [18:23] LinuxMercedes, so it's probably not a good idea [18:23] rexy_: what will? [18:23] LinuxMercedes, using tunefs to disable checking the filesystem altogether [18:23] do u suggest any book to prepare that exam ? unop [18:23] rexy_: ok, any other solutions? [18:23] LinuxMercedes: -c 0 will only disable routine checking. Uncleanly umounted filesystems will always be checked. [18:24] What are the differences between the -generic and -server kernels? [18:24] LinuxMercedes, well i have no experience with loading linux the way you do, it probably runs virtualized and using a virtual disk on an image on a filesystem on a real disk, i imagine that doesnt help [18:24] iraz, oreilly's LPI in a nutshell, and the coriolis LPI exam cram -- but those are only for the exam, you need to have quite some experience beforehand, and that's best done by reading other books, manpages, documentation, working with linux, etc [18:25] rexy_: ok [18:25] soundray, i didnt know that [18:25] neopsyche-> what kind of chip does your wifi nic have again? === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [18:25] amenado, atheros [18:25] ok thx a lot unop [18:26] Is it possible to defrag an ntfs partition from ubuntu? [18:26] heh [18:26] neopsyche-> you already have both ends connected and associated? you can ping either way? [18:26] amenado, let me check [18:27] g [18:27] pete: i dont know if there is a fsck.ntfs in the repos ive never seen any such tool [18:27] guys i don't get it why suddenly my remastersys wont work like before. What may be a problem? [18:27] pete: you can backup, delete and restore, which will defrag the filesystem. Any operating system installed on that partition won't take kindly to that, though. [18:28] pike__: and fsck doesn't defragment anyway [18:28] can i reinstall application? [18:28] http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsdefrag [18:28] archman: 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename' [18:29] thanks woop [18:29] soundray: is your /var/lib/gdm on root permissions; its unreadable to me... [18:29] and i think remastersys wont work properly [18:30] anyone else having problems with the linux flash player not working on myspace? [18:30] archman-> what does it mean wont work properly? what errors are you getting? indications? [18:30] pete: never checked of it works [18:30] amenado, it doesnt seem to be pinging.. but it seems to think it is connected (both sides) [18:31] amenado: once i burn live dvd and try to run it it says /var/lib/gdm does not exist [18:31] strawman: I always have problems with flash on linux... mostly on youtube and myspace [18:31] any workaround yet [18:31] neopsyche-> what indications do you use to tell you it is connected? [18:31] amenado: correct GDM conf and restart GDM [18:31] I am running hardy now, and I have allot less problems [18:32] Is that available for ppc? [18:32] archman-> you know you dont have to burn a cd or dvd to run like the liveCD iso or alternatecd iso [18:32] !ppc | strawman [18:32] strawman: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [18:32] it shows up on windows wireless connections [18:32] amenado,see above [18:33] amenado: but if live runs properly it indicates that everything is okay. no? [18:33] neopsyche-> you have one side windows? and the other is ubuntu? [18:33] Yeah, I love my ibook g4 [18:33] amenado: i dont get it...it work a week ago... [18:33] archman-> so your live runs okay? how did you test that? [18:33] About ntfsdefrag [18:33] ntfsdefrag does not yet exist. [18:33] ah well whoop [18:34] pete: that sucks [18:34] amenado: no; it stops after the logo has been 'filled up'. [18:34] amenado: it says: Server Authorization directory is set to /var/lib/gdm but this doesnt exist. [18:34] archman-> i dont follow you, if live runs properly? how did you test this? [18:34] read [18:35] above [18:35] /msg iSLiFECORP invite w42ppv4wyy8e9ufs [18:35] hi [18:35] amendado, yes [18:36] archman-> that doesnt indicate to me..you are boot up on your created livecd and just getting that error? [18:36] Hello. I need to generate new SSL certificates for my mail server. (dovecot and postfix) -- is there a script to do this easily? [18:36] amenado: yes; before it goes to desktop; that 'blue screen' appears... [18:36] neopsyche-> what tools are you using on the ubuntu side to indicate your wifi card is associated? [18:37] if I've got my sound working on the sound tests, any idea why ti won't work in any software? [18:37] amenado: my /var/lib/gdm has root permissions; maybe changing permisions? [18:37] amenado, network manager [18:37] archman-> that dir /var/lib/gdm is owned by root [18:37] amenado: i can't open it as user [18:37] amenado: oh, yes [18:38] amenado: i dont get it, im pissed off... [18:38] mrpockets, openssl can do that for you [18:38] archman-> and odd, i cant recall what T stood for under everybody permission [18:38] Where can I find some custom usplashes? [18:38] wireless network connection says 100% signal [18:38] archman-> try to open it as root ? [18:38] hm. now i'm able to play sound in the sound test and a CD off 'sound juicer'. [18:38] amenado, nm-applet 0.6.5 [18:38] sound won't work with ffox and amorak [18:39] amenado: what? to create iso as root? [18:39] mrpoundsign, openssl can do that for you [18:39] amenado: i sudo remastersys backup; but nothing... [18:39] neopsyche-> okay do this, paste in pastebin the contents of your windows ipconfig and netstat -ran on ubuntu ifconfig; iwconfig and netstat -ran [18:39] rexy_: Yes, I know how to use openssl, was hoping there was something easier. heh. thanks. [18:39] after installing dhcpd my user crontab in /var/spool/cron/crontabs was owned by dhcpd... why?? [18:39] mrpockets, it's a one line command? [18:39] archman-> no, i meant sudo to ls the /var/lib/gdm [18:40] mrpoundsign, then i'm not sure what you are asking for [18:40] hi [18:40] help me [18:40] !ask |karim [18:40] karim: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Aborting! [18:41] irc.islifecorp.com.br [18:42] rexy_: like which key file dovecot and postfix use. It seems to be using some automatically generated key and it's not specified in the dovecot config. Also, there is a smtp.keyin /etc/ssl/provate, but no crt or pem file associated with it in the same directory. So the actual command to generate a useful key and where to put them is what I am looking for. [18:42] archman-> i dont know what are you trying to run, all you asked earlier is if /var/lib/gdm is not browseable by user, and I said yes correct because its owned by root [18:42] nice add [18:42] amenado: correct; but im trying to find whats the reason i cant burn the iso like before...

[18:43] archman-> so you just want to know if you can burn the iso? is it really an iso? you used some kind of mkisofs to create it? [18:43] HardyHeron : ubuntu.com ?

I do "sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop" and it stops, but devices keep working. I think it's because network-manager is controlling them somehow, but I don't know how to make network manager disable them [18:45] archman-> i dont follow, how did vmware get into the picture? [18:46] Lunar_Lamp, right click on the networkmanager applet and toggle the network off [18:46] how can i download a series of file from http://url/file1.htm to http://url/file1000.htm with wget??? PLEASE HELP [18:46] do you know a mouse macro that runs on linux ? [18:47] rexy_, ah ok, how do I control it via the cli way normally then? I prefer that way tbh :-/ [18:47] amenado: after filled up ubuntu logo comes blue screen: Server Authorization directory (daemon/ServAuthDir) is seth to /var/lib/gdm but this does not exist. Please correct GDM configuration and restart GDM. [18:47] amenado: nevermind the vmware [18:47] archman-> you can test if it is really an iso by mounting said subject file [18:47] Hey guys [18:48] amenado: I TESTED IT!!! [18:48] What man do I supposed to look in for Ubuntu cron format specification? [18:48] Lunar_Lamp, you can configure them manually through /etc/network/interfaces [18:48] archman-> watch your caps..dont get pissy on me as you are not answering my questions directly [18:48] rexy_, yes, bt that seems to be ignoerd whilst network-manager is installed. [18:48] Lunar_Lamp, and/or /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf or wpa_cli for wireless [18:48] amenado: i tested it [18:49] archman-> testing it does not indicate its a good valid iso [18:49] EugZol_: Its the same as the regular crontab spec, but its in man 5 crontab [18:49] Pici: ok, thanks [18:49] looking for suggestions for an antivirus for linux that will also scan for windows virii, anyone use one and if so which and how do you like it? [18:49] Lunar_Lamp, seems odd, if i manually configure the networks there networkmanager doesnt touch them, you could always disable the applet and NetworkManager [18:49] Lapinux: clamav [18:49] amenado: sorry, so ho do i do it? i mounted it. [18:49] virus on linux [18:50] i have never had a virus on linux [18:50] archman then you can ls -la /mountpoint and see the if the files are okay [18:50] clamav only reports.. it does not disinfect [18:50] UBUNTUJAY123: that wasnt the question [18:50] how do I manually compile a package? and does it need to be in the tar.gz format or should I extract it? [18:50] clamav can run in remove mode [18:50] Pici: you personally use it and like it? [18:50] Lapinux: No, I dont use it, sorry. [18:50] BluesDrive-> has to be extracted [18:50] oh... [18:50] etract it then ./configure, then make and then sudo make install [18:51] its great, test it with some gnutella exe's ;) [18:51] i started useing ubuntu when the 5.04 came out [18:51] ClamAV scans for Windows viruses so you don't spread them around. [18:51] and still use it on 8.04 [18:51] Bluesdrive, cd to to the extracted directory first [18:51] You generally don't want to remove... you want to disinfect if possible [18:51] havent had a virus ever [18:51] im not to worried about linux itself but my raid array host many, many windows files to about 4 other pc's [18:51] then ./configure... [18:51] amenado, http://www.pastebin.org/25714 [18:51] does anyone know a good gui to set up apache?

[19:25] dan_whatever, if I am using firefox and have many tabs open i see the cpu running high on windows as well... how many instances are you sunning that flacsh has to play [19:25] I uninstalled compiz, was having config problems, I think i cleaned it up, so, what files are needed for fresh compiz install? [19:25] _moro_bana_: what's AppArmor? [19:25] thanks PICI [19:26] i have modem adsl dsl206u [19:26] <_moro_bana_> UBUNTUJAY123: ?

[19:28] smiley__, okey, but, using a live-cd to reinstall grub wil lwork? [19:28] dan_whatever, what kind of processor [19:28] are upgrades available even for major numbers? it looks like you can't upgrade from say 6.06 to 7.10 by changing the sources [19:28] gnome odder [19:28] rexy yes its installed [19:28] anyone experienced that? even with a single tab open? [19:28] _moro_bana_ what did that do [19:28] inminic : yes the live cd trick should work [19:28] mitchell, if you type compiz in a konsole what happens [19:28] giving this error when tryin to run something that uses it [19:28] i just played a clip on youtube and got 40%, even after the clip finished loading [19:28] nosaj: so you can install fonts simply using the drag&drop method [19:28] it's insane [19:28] smiley__, then i just use the normall grub-installation trick? [19:29] with flashblock it's ok, even when the clip is loaded [19:29] Is there a way to use the command 'cut' to cut of the last character of a word with unknown length? Like 'echo ape | cut -c 1-(N-1) where N is the number of charters. The desired result would be that it prints out 'ap'. [19:29] dan_whatever, iwhat kind of processor [19:29] inminic : let me find a website for you [19:29] hazard, if lilo is loading your kernel and you can boot in to your system that system should run without problems... unles you are sharing system partitions like /usr etc/ etc...

[19:32] like google.com just specified by Ubuntu [19:32] inminic: hmm.. not sure about that? [19:32] is there anyone around familure with iptables or another method of bandwidth throttling? [19:32] sls: It's an Acer, and the touchpad is a synaptics. [19:32] nks_, madwifi sounds like the right driver, did you try googling if the card you have is supported though? [19:32] bpollack1 : throttling isnt easy. [19:32] smiley__, probably not :) [19:33] what is this? [19:33] amenado: no, by terminal [19:33] kts support channel for ubuntu [19:33] smiley: no kidding :) I've been using linux for 12 years now and have no idea [19:33] well, it's an intel with 1gig of RAM [19:33] hazard, synptics touchpads have a config too that you can use in linux... look for synaptics in synaptic and see if you have it installed..

[19:33] inminic: yes, there is a default start page for the ubuntu-specified browser [19:33] mitchell, nah [19:34] its the destop manager or something interferirin [19:34] hazard alt-f2 gksudo synaptic [19:34] mitchell, type ctrl-C in the window and then metacity --replace [19:34] it will bring your old setup back [19:34] bpollack1: you can do bandwidth throttling with tc. [19:34] ok [19:34] got it [19:34] ye but then with no compiz [19:34] _moro_bana_ go to system administator then synaptic then once in there go to edit and down to fix broken packages [19:34] bpollack1: check out lartc. It's kind of a black art, though. [19:34] inminic: as far as I remember, I've seen such page in dapper, feisty and edgy, I haven't used gutsy yet [19:34] mitchell, yea [19:34] i want compiz [19:34] hazard, the generic touchpad drivers have worked for me in the past but perhaps something happened to you install.. if you install the synaptics driver fropm the repos i shoud work.. [19:34] Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz [19:34] cool thanks ryan-c [19:34] _moro_bana_ that should fix it [19:34] mitchell or compiz --replace & , then gtk-window-decorator --replace & [19:35] can that help with that flash issue? [19:35] ill try this one [19:35] rexy, yes I was able to get a whole slew of information pertaining to the card, but was unsuccessful at getting it to work, due to incomplete tutorials ! If you happen to know of a pretty accurate tutorial I would definitely be extremely happy ! -hehehe- [19:35] bpollack1: what do you want to do? [19:35] hazard open a terminal and type sudo apt-cache search synaptics... [19:35] dan_whatever, flash movies on my PIII-1Ghz pretty much max out the cpu [19:35] Odder, thanks!

[19:36] i could surf smoothly with firefox on xp [19:36] dan_whatever, heu it's not working now, or just using a lot of cpu? [19:36] i have a screen that supports 1920x1200, it's a nvidia 8600GT ... why does ubuntu, with nvidia-settings, only give me 1400x1050 ? [19:36] it's working fine! just taking a whole lot of CPU [19:36] you need to change the screen [19:36] wuxia : your settings are incorrect, or your display is giving the wrong information. [19:37] wuxia: maybe just edit xorg.conf manually. [19:37] in the screens and graphics [19:37] wuxia: most likely the LCD [19:37] wuia [19:37] wuxia because it X does not understand what you screen is... [19:37] dan_whatever, 40--50% on a dual core X2 [19:37] wuxia [19:37] <_moro_bana_> UBUNTUJAY123: but what im i fixing? pidgin- have to mark it for install-that goes nowhere [19:37] Does anyone know if it's possible, and if so, how, to mount a floppy from the initramfs terminal? [19:37] but the funny things is, when i load a while the flashblock plugin is on, there is no problem [19:37] wuxia in the screens and graphics [19:37] wuxia: you need to change the screen there [19:37] like, if i click the movie in firefox, so it starts playing but it doesn't take CPU like it does without flashblock [19:38] dan_whatever, it's the flash that uses the cpu [19:38] that will allow for different res [19:38] bpollack1: That's pretty easy to do with tc. Use a tbf queue to throttle [19:38] I had that problem yesterday [19:38] yeah - but how come it's working perfectly with flashblock? [19:38] dan_whatever, i have no idea [19:38] I need help figuring out how to make ubuntu recognize my webcam, ubuntu is wonderful everything so far has worked far better than windows, last thing i need now is my webcam =/ vnc 2 angelookdown.com if you can help me out, thx [19:38] odder i put the font in the folder but when i open firefox it doesnt show up in the settings [19:39] got a ? guys how come wine and other stuff dont come default in 8.04 beta?

[19:41] !hardy | whoop [19:41] hey if anyone knows their way up and down in wine could you head to #winehq and help some guys out [19:41] it really is the flash [19:41] whoop: 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 [19:41] 28 days!!! [19:41] :D [19:41] 28 days to hope they fix my problem ;) [19:41] nosaj: sorry, I haven't been looking in here for a moment. You should probably restart your Firefox to see changes [19:42] so my problem is definitely: flash eating my cpu - anyone have any suggestions? i have the latest flash installed [19:42] oeps [19:42] whats a good ubuntu/linux prgram to use for an ipod? i am sick of having to deal with laggy windows/itunes [19:42] songbir [19:42] crap, my ip had changed, no one could have vnc to me anyway, lol [19:42] Acoustyk: Songbird [19:42] Kevin_b_er sorry what was your problem? [19:43] really? [19:43] yeah [19:43] it's a hardy problem [19:43] Acoustyk amarok and gtkpod are popular for older ipods, you'd need more recent software than is in 7.10 for classics and 3g nanos [19:43] it works well [19:43] hence I'm not talking about it here ;) [19:43] !ipod | Acoustyk [19:43] Acoustyk: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [19:43] i used songbird before and didnt like it [19:43] Acoustyk, it is better for Ubuntu [19:43] Kevin_b_er don't tempt me to #ubuntu+1 :D [19:43] the windows version isn't so good [19:43] !hardy | Kevin_b_er [19:43] Kevin_b_er: 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 [19:43] I have used both [19:43] angelookdown: try modprobe gspca [19:44] yes odder [19:44] ahh i got it thanks odder :) [19:44] angelookdown: If that doesn't work, buy a new webcam :| [19:44] I think I'm just about ready to give up on this. Nothing I can find online or in here seems to give any indication of how to troubleshoot it. [19:44] rexy_ it's fancy, for the time being though I'm going back to metacity [19:44] nosaj: you're welcome ;) [19:44] * nikrud looks at Kevin_b_er 's last, and wonders why ubotu ;) [19:44] :( [19:44] saminthemiddle, it's what i use too [19:44] k thanks guys [19:44] rexy_ it's flashy but annoying :-P [19:44] is there a command to check if i got conflicting packages installed? [19:44] angelookdown: I had one that used that chipset, couldn't get it working at all. [19:44] saminthemiddle, exactly [19:45] saminthemiddle, only good when you are giving presentations.. [19:45] any other ideas rexy? [19:45] i can't launch my ".desktop" applications... none of them.. i get an error which says "The filename "vlc.desktop" indicates that this file is of type "desktop document". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "desktop configuration file". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. [19:45] Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "desktop configuration file", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file. " [19:45] styrman hm, if apt-get -f install completes successfuly, you don't have conflicting _pacakges_ [19:45] angelookdown: I only see like one mention of that usb id online [19:45] i did the modprobe gspca, and i did install gspca-source or something earlier, no error messages from modprobe, so i'm assuming it might have done something [19:45] Eh, APT says there is a lot of packages that where installed automaticly, and that there is no more use for them. Should I trust APT on this case? [19:45] rexy_ not to mention that it eats my battery. I do wish that a couple of its features were in metacity, such as window expos and dragging stuff between v-desktops [19:45] dan_whatever, no, and i'm not exactly clear on what the two procedures are you are following, however high cpu usage from flash doesnt strike me as odd [19:45] angelookdown: take a look at dmesg to see if it found the device [19:45] salah yes, autoremove is safe [19:46] rexy: oh, and the expose clone [19:46] !paste | dishay1 [19:46] saminthemiddle, have a look at powertop [19:46] dishay1: 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) [19:46] i can understand that, but i know it worked properly under XP, so that's why i am annoyed by it [19:46] /admin [19:46] if you havent already of course :) [19:46] nikrud, are you sure? [19:46] salah yes. I use it often. [19:46] [ 1045.425668] Linux video capture interface: v2.00 [19:46] [ 1045.433787] usbcore: registered new interface driver gspca [19:46] [ 1045.433838] /build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-2.6.22/debian/build/build-generic/media/gspcav1/gspca_core.c: gspca driver 01.00.12 registered [19:46] dan_whatever, it works properly now too i think? [19:46] nikrud it completed succesfully, thing is I installed totem-xine and i think it brought with it alot of dependancy packages, 3d driver libs, is there a way to see dependancies of a package? [19:47] styrman yes. apt-cache depends totem-xine [19:47] i like using banshee as an audio player. is it's ipod support okay? [19:47] okay.. so this is the error i get when i try to launch any of my ".desktop" files [19:47] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61240/ [19:47] i have a 30 gig 5th gen [19:47] ryan-c: in device manager it seems to be at /dev/1-6 [19:47] rexy, well, it does work, slows my computer - unlike under XP [19:48] nikrud yeah i've got a conflict there, it installed 3d packages for me that messed up somewhere, for a game of mine i played [19:48] dishay1 I've seen that once, I did an alt-f2 killall nautilus , and that fixed it for me (nautilus will autorestart) [19:48] angelookdown i think there should be a node under /dev/video [19:48] Which a ubuntu distro with a graphic interface for a pc with 48 Mb RAM ? === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- [19:48] nikrud thats my only idea what it could been.. is there somehow i can reinstall now totem-gstreamer and remove all totem-xine installed? [19:48] xubuntu [19:48] styrman totem-xine doesn't depend on 3d stuff, but it does depend on some sound stuff [19:48] !wine64 [19:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about wine64 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:48] dan_whatever, i dont know why the discrepancy exists, i know flash is a cpu hog on both systems but that's it [19:48] Alright. Thanks anyway. I'll try Ubuntu again in a year or two. [19:49] ryan-c: no /dev/video of any kind :( [19:49] nikrud : didn't work [19:49] amedx, the alternate installation for sure [19:49] styrman install totem-gstreamer, that will remove-totem-xine. then run apt-cache autoremove to get rid of the rest [19:49] nikrud hm... its the only thing i can think of, yesterday my game worked fine, since yesterday i only messed with two things, w32codecs and totem-xine.. i've uninstalled the codecs already and.. want to get rid of all packages xine got me [19:49] amedx, though 48Meg is really tight even for just X and xfce [19:49] nikrud ok thanks [19:49] angelookdown: I hasn't registered with v4l, then :| [19:49] rexy_: what release? [19:49] alright, thanks rexy - appreciate it! :) [19:49] <_moro_bana_> UBUNTUJAY123: i ll try moving to a new install,thanks [19:50] My swap is not being used in ubuntu, and I am having a terrible time getting return from suspend to work.... I've already googled it to no avail, but i did find something that was similar to my problem but i have problems getting it to work : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-321807.html [19:50] amedx, how do you mean what release? [19:50] Hi [19:50] nikrud no such command as autoremove? =) [19:50] dishay1 hm, well doing that Works for Me™ , but I'm not sure what the underlying problem is [19:50] amedx: xfce won't work with only 48MB ram [19:50] then it's console only [19:50] amedx: icewm MAYBE. [19:50] Can someone recommend me a bittorent client (if possible similar to ares, and available in gutsy's repositories) for a noob user? [19:50] ryan-c: tks [19:50] hi, will hardy be able to read and write udf 2.5 (or even 2.6) formatted discs? [19:50] amedx: or rat poison [19:50] hexon: how much ram you have and how large is swap ? [19:50] but only crazy people use rat poison [19:51] styrman doh. apt-get autoremove . I do type that by rote myself often ;) [19:51] amedx, either way it's gonna be hard to run anything else but X and a wm in there [19:51] ryan-c: i'm crazy [19:51] amedx: blackbox also is an option. [19:51] pike__: I have 2 gigs of ram and my swap is about 3 gigs [19:51] rat poison ftw [19:51] amedx: then try rat poison [19:51] I don't think anything uses less memory :P [19:51] the part I hate most about re-installing an OS is getting the mouse sensitivity right :-P [19:52] ryan-c: rat poison or use console? mmm i don't know [19:52] good luck getting a web browser to run on that though. [19:52] hey guys if i wanted the ubuntu bot for the chanel ubuntu-ro could i find it anywhere? [19:52] nikrud it removed 0, thing is i also tried reinstalling the graphic driver to fix my game problem, when i reinstalled Xgl it removed 10 packages [19:52] amedx: I said icewm or blackbox will probably work. [19:52] ryan-c: i try [19:52] amedx: but for example, firefox will just kill your system [19:52] pike__: I was able to see that 0 out of 2996112 was being used of my swap by typing "free" in the terminal [19:53] styrman that is very strange, xserver-xgl removing packages. what did it remove? [19:53] ryan-c: firefox? why? [19:53] nikrud i dont know :) is there a log? =) [19:53] amedx: Firefox uses a lot of memory [19:53] nikrud i've rebooted since [19:53] styrman yes, /var/log/dpkg.log [19:53] hi, just a short question [19:53] gligorhoria: Seveas looks after the bot -- he would know [19:54] ryan-c: ok :) tks 4 all [19:54] what is the name of the programm to change screen resolution and setings in hardy? [19:54] k3ks, #ubuntu+1 please [19:54] gligorhoria I've been told that you can talk to the ubotu people in #ubuntu-irc [19:54] k [19:55] nikrud that log is such a mess, i can't see what packages it removed can i paste it for you and you look? =) [19:55] _moro_bana_ all thtas wrong is u have broken packs u need to fix them [19:55] Can anyone help me to get my swap to work? I used "sudo swapon -v /dev/sda5" in terminal but it told me "swapon: /dev/sda5: Device or resource busy" [19:55] styrman at the end of the file is that relevant stuff. Just do a search in there for xserver-xgl, you'll see the rest after it [19:55] hexon, are you sure it's not already on? [19:55] Linux: strength through unity, unity through open source! [19:56] styrman mainly, I'm only around for a couple more minutes ;) [19:56] nikrud http://paste.stgraber.org/ [19:56] nikrud ah [19:56] rexy_: 0 of 2996112 is being used so i don't think so. I can't get my laptop to return from sleep [19:56] Is there anyone with a Dell laptop and Bluetooth that got it working with Ubuntu? [19:57] Hello everyone, I have tried to run ubuntu from a CD and it actually worked :) Anyways, is it me or that the screen, when running ubuntu, turns to black from above? [19:57] rexy_ anyway, I'm going to log out now, need to reboot my X server [19:57] hexon, if you type free, and it gives a number after swap that means it's on [19:57] is cedega 6.0 better than wine [19:57] hexon: that's more likely to be an ACPI problem than one with your swap [19:57] also, how are you getting these numbers if your l;aptop is sleeping? [19:57] so I triggered installing kde4, and now mpg{123,321} stopped working [19:57] nikrud 2008-03-27 20:39:09 remove libdirectfb-extra 0.9.25.1-6ubuntu3 0.9.25.1-6ubuntu3 stuff like that it removed [19:57] ati laptop? [19:57] is there anyway I can fix it? [19:58] and I have speedtouch connection(for internet) and when i tried to connect to the internet, it didn't allow me [19:58] I'm trying to find out what chipset an installed sata controller uses... How can I do that? [19:58] it gave me some error like "This document cannot open" [19:58] or something [19:58] what's the best way to free up some memory since I only have 4megs of 512 remainninig [19:58] hexon, well there are many problems with suspend/hibernate, i'm confused how you are trying to online a swap space on a machine that is sleeping? [19:58] maarek_, close some programs [19:58] no, wait 256 [19:58] Yazan-> what is speedtouch? what do you touch to get the speed? [19:59] Vlet, lspci ? [19:59] amenado, speedtouch is the internet provider [19:59] ok, up to 40megs [19:59] maarek_: You could try looking into a lighter weight window manager like xfce [19:59] hexon: have a look at the settings you can make through /etc/default/acpi-support . Also draw on other people's experience with your laptop model -- look it up on tuxmobil.org [19:59] rexy_: my machine is not sleeping. It will go into suspend, however i get a black screen upon resume and no matter which buttons i push it will not resume. I googled it and the swap was one possible solution [19:59] rexy_: I'll check it out, thanks. [19:59] Yazan-> please describe the typ of connectivity with you ISP? [19:59] xfce instead of gnome? [19:59] maarek_: just apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [20:00] hexon, well you need a swapspace i think to be able to suspend in the first place [20:00] rexy_: yay! thanks :) [20:00] guys, is it me or that the screen, when running ubuntu from a CD, turns to black in the above? [20:00] but normally that's configured by default, and given that you get 0 out of yadda used, that means it's on [20:00] is x lighter? [20:00] rexy_: oh ok. suspend will occationally work. it used to all the time, but now it won't resume [20:00] maarek_: will get you xfce, runns even fine on 600MHz Duron & 128MN ram [20:00] MB [20:00] Question: I cant log in, i see my log in screen but when i try to log, it reloads the kde so it wont let me get into my system, any clue on how to fix this? [20:00] benpicco: thanks [20:00] maarek_: x stands for xfce [20:01] hexon: the swap has to be the right size, as well (same as RAM plus 10% safety margin) [20:01] and that's xubuntu? [20:01] just to recap [20:01] soundray: I did ram size X 1.5 [20:01] no its ubuntu [20:01] but i loaded kde [20:01] maarek_, yeah that's xubuntu [20:01] kk [20:01] afk [20:01] maarek_: xubuntu is ubuntu using xfce [20:01] maarek_, you can try out xfce by installing the package xubuntu-desktop [20:01] i loaded kde because gde wont work [20:02] maarek_: just like kubuntu is ubuntu using kde and so on [20:02] I'll run it fromo the term [20:02] eduardo-> can you try ctrl+alt+F1 and log on? [20:02] maarek_, then when you login, you can choose between gnome and xfce [20:02] and install from there [20:02] yeah i can log on in the console [20:02] apt-get install xubuntu [20:02] but not in the log in screen [20:02] Hello, is it just me or that the screen, when running ubuntu from a CD, turns to black in the top?? Do i have to install ubuntu fully to get the full screen? [20:02] !who [20:02] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:02] maarek_: you can also install it from your running gnome session, doesn't make a difference [20:02] soundray: I've already messed with some stuff in etc/default/acpi-support following some tutorials. I changed SAVE_VBE_STATE=false and POST_VIDEO=false but it still wont work [20:02] amenado, any clue on how to fix this? [20:02] where are the console keymaps in ubuntu? on most systems it's under something like /usr/share/keymaps/qwerty.map.gz but I can't find anything like that [20:03] Yazan: what grafics driver are you using [20:03] hi [20:03] i,m from mexico [20:03] i need help [20:03] eduardo-> try the dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh heck i dont remember the exact command..

[20:04] Yazan: look into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:04] !xserver [20:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:04] is 11 % hardware interruptions too much ?

[20:04] Yazan: there is a sectoion "device", ther you find the used driver [20:04] Hey I'm trying to connect to my router through a WEP encryption through the network manager but I can't get it to work [20:04] kill the pid? killall ssh [20:05] eduardo-> it did not? were you able to get the correct video driver loaded? [20:05] soundray: ACPI_SLEEP_MODE=mem maybe that's why it doesnt save as much power... when it used to work [20:05] stop ssh server? === brando is now known as Vince2542 [20:05] !keymap [20:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about keymap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:05] 5200 [20:05] amenado, yes, i was able to get the correct driver [20:05] eduardo-> then check your xorg.conf file to tweak [20:06] hey eduardo hows it going [20:06] $ su root [20:06] Password: [20:06] su: Authentication failure [20:06] Sorry.

[20:29] the disk is wrtable straight from the case [20:29] CJS3141: what's the problem you are ultimately trying to solve? [20:30] Is it correct that it is not necessary to defrag ext3 partitions?

[20:59] CJS3141: your choice, but the used market is such that you can get very capable graphics cards very cheaply [20:59] it was an invite and my mistake i click on the deny button [21:00] i suspect you have to contact him otherwise [21:00] how would I totally reset gnome? [21:01] someone? anyone? why does the word grub keep repeating on my first boot? [21:01] Stifmaister [21:01] Can anyone help me setup evolution mail to work with my gmail account? I'm a noob ;) [21:01] hexon, it was the page showed me hsfmodem_7.60.00.18oem_i386.deb which provided me problems with my audio and disabled it and couldn't detect my modem at all [21:01] crazy_elf: what do you mean saying 'reset gnome' ? [21:01] I deleted the .gnome folder, .gnome2, and .gconf folders but my problem with gnome is still is there. [21:02] Can I edit (7.10) /etc/network/interfaces manually ? [21:02] Is there an UbuntuAPI? [21:02] OK going to ask again will someone please help me trouble shoot why my sound just died and is no longer working. [21:02] odder, when I drag an icon on the desktop it makes a copy instead of moving it. [21:02] why wont ubuntu relize ive deleted something on an Ntfs volume and update its free space ? [21:02] soroush: that program would have to interact closely with the pseudomodem hardware though, and you'd need the specifications of that hardware to write it. That's the reason why those drivers are hard to get for Linux.

[21:02] xai: yes, why not? [21:03] Can anyone help me with my xorg.conf. I have installed Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon on a desktop that has two Samsung SyncMaster 940bw connected to two separate nVidia G80 GeForce 8600 GT (PCI:1:0:0 and PCI:4:0:0) I am trying to set up so both monitors work.

[21:03] soroush: I always say get a proper modem. Not what people want to hear most of the time... [21:03] hexon , i used what ubuntu help told and it wasn't useful and I used kppp too and it told modem was busy . I made the timeout more too and tried /dev/modem all the time but it did not woek at all. I did how many restarts looked to be useful [21:03] recoy^: no problem at all ;) [21:03] odder: my ssh session was dropped and it wont respond now. [21:03] by mistake i denied an invite in pidgin,can i find somewher the mail? [21:04] someone? anyone? why does the word grub keep repeating on my first boot? [21:04] marcos_: well, did you try Google? [21:04] why wont ubuntu relize ive deleted something on an Ntfs volume and update its free space ? [21:04] odder,what do you mean?

It was working fine. My java got an issue and when it got resolved i restarted and my sound no longer starts. [21:30] what does lsof /dev/snd/* say [21:30] ah, nevermind, my phone ran out of batter, my point was I don't get the terminal as I should, I get large letters (I guess thats because the resolution is *very much* lower than 640*480) [21:31] so please, what should I do [21:31] why does it take soo looong to login in to freenode [21:31] does anyone know how to stop charging? I want to limit my charge to 80% (better for li-ion batteries as long as you don't need the off-grid performance) [21:31] so, actually the terminal resolution is very small [21:31] can I make it bigger? [21:31] how do i change the view of terminal [21:32] I mean the terminal as in without gui [21:32] pure terminal [21:32] i dont like the white background [21:32] white_eagle: pass a frame-buffer in grub before you boot [21:32] i want to change it, like command prompt sort of [21:32] saminthemiddle: how do I do that? [21:32] jaffarkelshac: try menu --> preferences, or sort of that in your terminal window [21:32] jaffarkelshac, edit profiles, make a new one with a colour scheme you like [21:32] rexy_ can you help me with this sound issue. I fixed my java issue restarted my computer and now the sound died. [21:33] saminthemiddle: I don't think the charging process can be interrupted software-side. You can probably find a power socket that you can control via USB, though [21:33] i installed ubuntustudio, and it hosed my video/compiz settings, im afraid to touch anything now because it might overwrite my config files with default values or something, any suggestions what i should do? [21:33] white_eagle, I can't remember exactly off the top of my head, but you have to put the argument in /boot/grub/grub.conf google it.

[21:52] white_eagle: oh, ok, thanks [21:53] rexy_are you planning on sticking ubuntu on eeepc? [21:53] bpollack1, i dont do remote admin from my laptop though, i just drag it around alot [21:53] that seems a bit insecure though. a user having the ability to do things as root with his own password?

[21:55] ok saminthemiddle__ very helpful, thanks [21:55] OddChild: it's a tiny X testing app [21:55] rexy_ you get used to it, specialy if you use compiz-fusion [21:55] soundray, will try now [21:55] how do i adjust the amount of mounts a drive gets before it is fsckd ?

[21:56] ext3 that is [21:56] ok couse i had the luck to chat him last year [21:56] so hope he keeps joining [21:56] Yggdrasil: then as suggested.

I dont need xp anymore... [21:58] soundray, yes it is. i just checked that. thanks for the help (i really do appreciate it, stayed up late last night working on it) [21:58] themime: add "PermitRootLogin no" to /etc/ssh/sshd_config or change the PermitRootLogin setting [21:58] I wanna know how can we set up links in a html doc directing to straight download..like we have ftp://... for ftp downloads. Is it possible for apt? [21:58] I use Deluge for torrents. If I press restart Ubuntu, is Deluge (and other apps) closed or killed. The reason I ask is that Deluge only maintains the share ratio of files if it's closed in a nice manner [21:59] how do i create the following dir using a single command : /dir1/sub2/sub3? [21:59] themime: by leaving the root password locked (or locking it with 'sudo passwd -l' if you've set it) [21:59] noobee: mkdir -p [21:59] soundray: what does locking the password do?

I have an XP system that had a moderate meltdown.. I've played with a knoppix liveCD years ago, and was wondering if I could use an Ubuntu LiveCD to get some information off of the syetem so I can reinstall the OS?

I'm trying to setup IPv6 in my home network consisting of a ubuntu machine and a debian machine (server with IPv6 tunnel). The machines can see each other, the debian can see the IPv6 internet, but the ubuntu machine cannot see the IPv6 outside world. Anyone knows what I'm missing? My config: http://paste.debian.net/51984 [22:25] that is the only thing I get when I try to open this. and as I said, other people are not having any troubles, but they are all running windows and microsoft stuff [22:25] sudo apt-get install ubutnu-desktop -> says could'nt find package ubunut-desktop ! [22:25] bk1979, sure, you can use a liveCD to do that [22:25] megamind, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:25] Seveas, LogLevel debug doesn't even yield any clues. people in #apache are at a loss too . . . . never seen anything like this with 15 years of apache experience . . . . really weird [22:25] megamind, typo in your command [22:25] would sshd deny access to WLAN logins for repeated unsuccessful login attempts? [22:26] sorry i made spelling mistake here but i m running the proper command sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:26] megamind: my fault, I typed to fast [22:26] Great... but would I need to customize the liveCD so I'll be able to either use the DVD writer and/or to dump files onto an external HDD? [22:26] maybe you should run sudo apt-get update first [22:26] tripps, well, I've never put the RewriteRules in the main config, always in a virtualhost with appropriate AllowOverrides [22:26] tripps, try placing the rewrite rules inside the virtual host configuration, not inside apache.conf [22:27] Seveas, unop i'm not running a vhost but i suppose I can set one up [22:27] unop thanks [22:27] tripps, there is always one virtual host tho [22:27] if I want to install ubuntu 7.10 in a disk with 30gbs unpartitioned space and 180gb of partitions with data, how do I do that? [22:28] tripps, should be the one in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled === ubuntu is now known as joho [22:28] The first message I get is one that says "Opening" ... the file I want and "you have chosen to open "filename.xls" which is a: Excel spreadsheet..... so I click ok, because my other option is cancel, then I get "Download error" and "filename.xls could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." [22:28] it still says the same E: could'nt find package ubuntu-desktop :( === joho is now known as joho22 [22:28] I mean, do I have to take any special cautions to make sure I do not delete the data on the other partitions? [22:28] cogumel0, during the partitioning you set create the 30gbs partition allocated to / and 180gb to /home [22:29] unop, aha i see . . . . not familiar with all this symlink config layout . . . never seen it before now [22:29] http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pauldotcom-security-weekly -- Security related talk - hopefully starting in a few... [22:29] tripps, welcome to apache 2.x :) [22:29] cogumel0, just dont explicitely delete any of ther partitions [22:29] Question: does anyone know how to fix this error? symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl [22:30] megamind: are your repositories set right? [22:30] it still says the same E: could'nt find package ubuntu-desktop , can some one please help me installing the visual interface [22:30] i just installed it [22:30] megamind, run sudo apt-get update and try again [22:30] not sure abt repositories they are all default [22:30] Question: does anyone know how to fix this error? symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl [22:30] ok let me try [22:30] anyone wanna help me out with a partition issue? [22:31] megamind, get the live CD and install that [22:31] joho22, state issue please, chances are someone will help you [22:31] would help this: sudo apt-get update [22:31] Kalel, can you help me? [22:31] I have a partition with all my files i want to keep from xp, ie game iso's etc [22:32] Question: does anyone know how to fix this error? symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl [22:32] and i want to blank my other partition [22:32] can anyone tell me any site where i can get ubuntu themes?????? [22:32] eduardo, sorry i do not know how to fix that error [22:32] then install ubuntu [22:32] indian_munnda, gnome-art-,org [22:32] when i do apt-get update it states that can not connect to updates sites so i have to configure the network firs [22:32] kalel, this error is not letting me login to ubuntu [22:32] That may have been poorly worded. Will the LiveCD have the ability to allow me to use the computers dvd writer (or an external hard drive) to copy these large files? [22:33] eduardo, where did you get that library from ? [22:33] marsje-> i dont know ipv6 yet, but it seems your ubuntu does not have a gateway? i dont know that flag UGDAe [22:33] and that's my problem [22:33] unop, bless you sir! sheesh . . . . :) [22:33] "no root file system is defined please correct this from the partion menu" [22:33] lamego, i think i got it when i was installing pidgin lastest version [22:33] tripps, working? [22:33] bk1979-> yes [22:33] unop, not yet but at least getting rewrite log errors which is a good thing ;) [22:34] anyone able to sort that? [22:34] and i want to blank my other partition and install ubuntu on the larger partition but i get the message "no root file system is defined please correct this from the partion menu", what am i missing? [22:34] hi there [22:34] lamego, any clue on how to fix it? [22:34] amenado: I think "::/0 fe80::240:f4ff:fe4b:c9b5 UGDAe" means that all stuff goes to the link local address of my debian machine, which I guess is good. Not sure about those flags either... [22:34] joho22, when you install ubuntu from the cd, you can ask ubuntu to format and use that partition automatically [22:35] Amenado - will I need to customize the liveCD with drivers specific to the dvd-writer or external HDD? [22:35] joho22-> just start the installer, and once you are at the point to partition, select appropiately and format [22:35] Jenology, save it to your desktop first [22:35] eduardo: That symbol, g_once_init_enter_impl, should be provided by /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 [22:35] tripps, sorry, got disconnected, is it working alright now? [22:35] anyone know a file server like this http://www.redkawa.com/fileserver/ but for linux? so I can access my files over a web browser? [22:35] i can't [22:35] unop, yes thanks! [22:35] tripps, nice :) [22:35] how is that accomplished amendo? [22:35] i don't have that option [22:35] Jenology, then the problem is with with the web site not your box [22:35] Jenology, right click on it [22:35] eduardo, yes, reinstall libgdk from the offical repositories [22:35] bk1979-> i dont think you need to, put a dvd in it and see if it can read it. [22:35] but other people can access this NO PROBLEM [22:36] Jenology, work with me [22:36] lamego, im running fluxbox atm, how can i do that from here [22:36] Jenology, work with me -- right click on it and look at your options [22:36] rinaldi_, you can use apache and mod_dav to that effect [22:36] Thanks for the help! I'll be back if I hit any more snags [22:36] lamego, that error wont let me login to ubuntu [22:37] right click gives me the options to bookmark link, copy link location, options for the frame, properties and switch page direction [22:37] does anyone know how to delete the hidden files ntfs3g create inside folders? [22:37] there is no option to save it [22:37] copying it gives me nothing [22:37] marsje-> plus you have AdvRouterAddr off; I dont know if that prevents you having a gateway..but anyhow you still need a gateway for your traffic to use so it can get to the internet [22:37] Jenology, what are you using? [22:37] eduardo, sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgtk2.0-0 [22:37] eduardo: You could log in to the text console using ctrl-alt-f1 and then "sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0" [22:37] how do i reformat and install on one partition and make sure that the install does not mess with the other partition that still has important files on it? I am at the "prepare partitions" menu. [22:38] raga [22:38] Has anyone seen abnormal cpu useage in the Hardy beta? [22:38] ok ill try lamego thx [22:38] os? ubuntu, browser, firefox, and writer, open office [22:38] !hardy | vaughn [22:38] vaughn: 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 [22:38] ho un problema con kubuntu 8.04 [22:38] !it | stexe [22:38] stexe: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [22:38] does anyone know how to delete the hidden files ntfs3g create inside folders? [22:38] ok grazie [22:38] joho22-> you save your important data before you do an install..dont do it like you are doing now...so exit and save the data first [22:38] files that are unremovables [22:38] really [22:39] i am trying to mount to a shared directory on a windows server and having no luck. I keep getting "No such File or directory" [22:39] amenado i did do that, i have 2 partitions [22:39] Anyone know how to convert the timestamp from a dmesg output? I have this: [3697200.427516] Dazed and confused, but trying to continue [22:39] this is the command i use "sudo mount -t ntfs //server/share -o username=user,password=pass /mnt/server [22:39] how do I get a real timestamp? [22:39] Yes on hardy beta gnome-sytem-monitor [22:39] Jenology, well funny cos I can go to links and download them with lots of web browsers - so I got to figure you done something nasty to it or the admin will give you the file cos you are not on windows [22:39] joho22-> so you already saved the important data, now you can partition [22:40] lamego, i still get the same error [22:40] eduardo, reinstall glib, since that symbol should come from glib [22:40] Wanderer: Add that many seconds to the date from the first line of /var/log/dmesg. [22:40] lasgo same command? [22:40] Wanderer, I believe it's the time elapsed since the system booted [22:40] i've done nothing to it, i don't know how to do anything to it [22:40] lamego, same command? [22:40] amenado you may be misintepreting, i used to run windows, and i made a partition. the partition has my files saved, i want to format the other partition. and install ubuntu without touching the other. [22:41] eduardo, but for libglib2.0-0 [22:41] Jenology, you need to be able to right click on a file and "save file as" [22:41] how do i use uniq in a file am reading? [22:41] amenado so there are 2 partitions [22:41] i know i need to, but the point is, i cannot, the option is not there [22:41] noobee, cat file | uniq [22:41] lamego, ok lemme try [22:41] joho22-> it would help if you use a label, for example my windows is on /dev/sda1 my other is /dev/sda5 that way i can follow you, not just the word "other" [22:41] thanks Lamego [22:42] ok, got an easy way to convert the date in the first line of dmesg to seconds so I can convert? [22:42] eduardo, and the next time be carefull, you should not overwite system libraries files [22:42] where do i change a users home dir? [22:42] what up [22:42] noobee, you might want to put Lamego 's thing through sort too, uniq has a little problem with unsorted data === ubuntu is now known as bookmark [22:42] what up [22:42] Jenology, well then I suggest you install a different web browser and use that -- cos what I am suggesting is available on FF [22:42] lamego, i still the the error [22:42] Acomaco-> why the need to change it? [22:43] wow, i'm so glad you are not understanding me [22:43] i dont want to reboot till i get firefox running [22:43] i do use firefox, please do not treat me as an idiot [22:43] eduardo, I am out of suggestions [22:43] I changed it before, but forgot where, and now its insecure [22:43] amenado partition sda1 = ntfs = want to partiton. sda5 = ntfs = important files dont wnat to format. [22:43] i came here for help, not criticism [22:43] unop_ ok [22:43] Acomaco-> look at the /etc/passwd [22:43] so... does anyone here ever use an encrypted file system? how does it effect video file computations and playback? [22:43] lamego, what about removing libgtk2.0-0? [22:43] unop_: how do i set up mod_dev +apache? [22:43] amenado: not sure about that setting AdvRouterAddr. it seemed like something I don't need... [22:43] it's okay if you are not able to figure this out, just don't treat me as an idiot [22:43] Jenology, keep calm, no one treated you as an idiota, you just received an advice [22:43] Does anyone use the ipod touch? [22:44] we don't guess what you know or you do not know [22:44] marsje-> im not that familiar with ipv6 settings...so try it.. === ubuntu is now known as RocketBoy_ [22:44] lamego, what about removing libgtk2.0-0? [22:44] eduardo, removing would not be wise, reinstalling was expected to fix it [22:45] lamego, then i have to reinstall ubuntu? [22:45] eduardo, btw, have you inserted any strange source on your repositories list ? [22:45] Jenology, well your suggestion that a browser does not act with a menu item of "save link as" when you right click on the link you want to use indicates that the browser is broken, yet you say you did nothing to it, so therefore I suggest you use a different browser - that is the full extent of the help that I can offer [22:45] rinaldi_, http://www.google.co.uk/search?aq=f&num=100&complete=1&hl=en&q=apache+mod_dav+howto&btnG=Search&meta= [22:45] joho22-> okay, so when you are about to select the spaces to install ubuntu, select sda1 .. ubuntu would be nicely installed if you have / /home and swap partitions [22:45] like another distro/release source ? [22:45] Acomaco: You could user sudo usermod -d /home/newdir username [22:45] lamego, not manually [22:45] lamego, not that i know. [22:45] In GNOME, when I close an application by hitting the 'X' on the top right window, is that the same thing as kill ? How is kill different from pkill and killall ? What does '-9' do? Thanks for any help. [22:46] apt-get is not longer useing tab completion any way to fix this? [22:46] what browser should I use? [22:46] eduardo, checko your sources.list you may be reinstalling a library from an incorrect repository, that you may have used to install pidgin [22:46] i'm only famliar with ff [22:46] lamego, how do i check that [22:46] I have two unformated S-ATA drives which I want to use in a software RAID1 and have them automatically mounted after booting [22:46] Jenology, you can choose from many, a similar one is "epiphany-browser" [22:46] eduardo, gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst [22:46] does anybody know where to start reading? [22:47] apt-get is not longer useing tab completion any way to fix this? [22:47] how do i install ffmpeg ? [22:47] finn-> id start with google ubuntu+raid+sata [22:47] shinynew, try this -- source /etc/bash*completion [22:47] shinynew, and then see if tab completion works [22:47] that gave me a lot on installing ubuntu to a raid, but that's not what I'm trying to do [22:48] lamego, can check it, same error line.. [22:48] Lainy: no, same, same, -9 sends KILL instead of TERM [22:48] finn-> well filter out some more, [22:48] unop__: works, very nice [22:48] unop__: thanks [22:48] Hi guys, I need to send this laptop in because of a failing hdd, I'd like to save my linux configuration as is, what are the important directories to copy? [22:48] how do i install ffmpeg ? any suggestions please [22:48] shinynew, now, you might want to put that line into your ~/.bashrc file so that this is preserved for future logins [22:49] void^: How do I close an app in the same manner clicking on 'X' does then (if killing a functional process is not good practice)? [22:49] edwinn-> i gave you the command earlier or was it yesterday, you didnt take note? [22:49] lamego, can check it, same error line.. [22:49] !packages > megamind (check out that link from the bot) [22:49] lamego, cant check it, same error line.. [22:49] !clone | edwinn [22:49] edwinn: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [22:49] eduardo, I have no other suggestions, sorry [22:49] cant* [22:49] my power went out, lost the session [22:49] Lainy, xkill [22:49] hi! I wonder if there is a huge difference in running ubuntu 7.10 (gnome) with 4GB DDR2 instead of 2GB? I think gnome is kind of slow most of the time, e.g. when navigating around in directories etc. is kde faster? or should I play around with fluxbox again? [22:49] unop__: Thanks. [22:49] Lainy: regular kill with sigterm should be fine [22:49] thx amenado and ubotu [22:49] void^: Okay, thanks. [22:50] Wanderer: date +%s will format as seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. If you put the dmesg date in file D you could use date -f D +%s [22:50] Hi all. [22:50] mEck0; use a shell .. MUCH faster than an GUI [22:50] I' ve a problem. [22:50] mEck0, gnome/nautilis is not expected to need more than 2GB on a regular usage [22:50] good day to you all :) [22:50] hey guys, a quick question, in login window prefs. i can choose for the default session "run Xclient script" what is that really? [22:50] mEck0, that are lighter file managers that you can use [22:50] chalcedony: same to you [22:50] Gekone: we all have problems, try asking as specifically as you can :) [22:50] atlef: ty [22:50] bastid_raZor, Lamego: okay [22:51] has anyone else here had any issues with Nautilus crashing in the last day or so?

[22:54] how do i pitch songs (mp3) in Ubuntu? [22:54] ntorido, tar czvf backup.tgz /path/to/dir [22:54] anyone know how to tell xchat to open certain channels on connect? [22:55] cyclonut: try in #xchat too ? [22:55] cybojanek, just set them on the server setup dialog [22:55] there is a field for it [22:55] chalcedony: ya know, thatd be a lot wiser. thanks, and nevermind my question :) [22:55] nobody? [22:55] cyclonut, edit the network list, select the network you'd like to do this on, click edit, in "channels to join" .. enter the channels as a comma seperated list [22:55] Lamego: you had the right idea i think [22:56] unop: on apache2.conf: [22:56] # Include all the user configurations: [22:56] Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [22:56] cyclonut; in Network list highlight the network you want to autoconnect to.. then edit.. you'll have the option to check connect at startup [22:56] Gekone, right, as i said -- for backward compat. when you are migrating over to apache 2.x [22:56] has anyone else had this 'windows stuck in the top left when they open' problem? [22:57] unop: exatly, but where i should config, noe? [22:57] d'oh, I manage to make myself feel stupid almost every time I ask a question in here :) [22:57] ---------------------- [22:57] thanks folks [22:57] Gekone, it depends on what you are doing really -- in most cases, you just want to edit the default virtual host, in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/* [22:58] i most edit virtual host! :)) [22:58] Gekone, changes there affect just that virtual host, if you want to make global changes, you can edit apache.conf [22:58] *must [22:58] Gekone, most? [22:58] ^^ [22:59] so I'm running xubuntu and I accidently disabled the "graphical" login option in services, I have subsequently re-enabled it but now it's still not logging directly into the desktop environment AND my wifi can't access the net now even though it claims to be connected to the network [22:59] any help would sure well rock [22:59] Gekone, well, consider it the default site -- thats how apache works in the 2.0 and 2.2 [22:59] unop thk :P [23:01] does anyone know what file system can not be accessed through windows at this time? [23:01] To fix the few vulns that were posted on Security Focus earlier, do I just do Apt-get install to get the latest on or is there an upgrade function? [23:02] Piffer, depends if changes have made their way into the package tree -- and you dont do that, you do sudo sh -c "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" [23:03] bookmark; you have a filesystem in mind? [23:03] bookmark: windows can access ext2 using http://www.fs-driver.org/ . It can access fat32 and ntfs as well of course. [23:04] what is difference between apt-get update and apt-get upgrade ? [23:04] doh, there were 1300 users in the channel [23:04] right, what CAN'T it access [23:04] ? [23:04] that is still a good file system [23:04] is there a way to change users in feisty WITHOUT rebooting? [23:04] megamind, update retrieves the latest list of packages from the repository, upgrade upgrades packages by comparing installed ones against that list [23:04] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Office_2007_on_Linux_with_Wine_install_guide [23:04] chalcedony; you can switch users. [23:04] I found and tried the thing where you put "free the fish" in the run window, and it was kinda cool... for about 5 minutes. Now, though, I can't get rid of the stupid fish, and it's been nearly 2 days. Could anyone tell me how to stop it? [23:04] unop nice explanation [23:05] chalcedony: ctrl + alt + backspace? [23:05] chalcedony; you'll still get a new X session though === nonewmsgs is now known as nonewmsg [23:05] thanks unop [23:05] i'll try it ty :) [23:06] hey guys, how do you clear logs in ubuntu? [23:06] what up [23:06] Anyone know how to remove compiz fusion? its slowing my laptop to a crawl [23:06] sarah____, i'd like to ask first why you'd want to do something like that? [23:06] to make it more secure, i think [23:07] I do not know how to explain it... I can move the mouse, the keyboard is functionning, I was able to play with thunderbird, but I cannot switch windows, or click on the taskbar or toolbar [23:07] as if the os is frozen [23:07] fuhreal, clearing logs does not turn the system safer, on the contrary [23:07] ops, it was for sarah____ [23:07] fuhreal, system->preferences->appearance [23:07] fuhreal; disable it.. system>preferences>appearances>visual tab [23:07] but it is not. Must be something to do with the x or window manager or gnome... [23:07] sarah____, errm, you've been misinformed -- infact logs are important to security, if you need to find out why something has happened you consult the logs [23:07] i'm trying to fix it opening the windows under the top bar, in [23:07] the top left. Any ideas? [23:09] some window I can work with. Specially when I hit "Alt -F1", then I momentarally can play with the menu and change window, but when I do, I loose control again [23:09] very weird. [23:09] Any suggestions? [23:09] chalcedony, I have had that bug too, the only way I got around it was moving the task bar around, playing with the auto hide until it "went away" heh, I know thats not a fix of course [23:10] anyone have suggestions for configuring ppp auto-dialup if eth0 goes down? trying to make a router using a soekris and ubuntu 8.04beta and this is my last step [23:10] hey are there any experts for setting the system time [23:10] is your clock running slow ilovegreen ? [23:10] Carbonflux: 'autohide" ? [23:10] Carbonflux: how did you do that? [23:11] chalcedony, right click on the taskbar and select properties [23:11] Carbonflux: ok.. i've got it running updates [23:11] Carbonflux: I can't find the right time zone for the clock applet [23:11] I do have a clock bug on 7.10 but I have given up on fixing it because everytime I bring it up people tell me to change my bat as if I was a noob heh [23:12] ilovegreen, system->administration->time and date right ? [23:12] Carbonflux: ohhhh [23:12] right [23:12] hahaha [23:12] hello. i hava apache installed in my pc, i can see the site using the ip address, but i installed yesterday something related to samba....now no person can see the site with the ip address....samba has something to do with that??? thanks!!! [23:12] :) [23:13] Is there a My Network Places on ubuntu? === nonewmsg is now known as nonewmsgs [23:13] jessica_, no, samba is not expected to touch anything related with apache [23:13] Carbonflux: nah i've been there and the closest location I select gives me the wrong time [23:13] jessica_, have you checked that apache is running ? [23:14] I want to use mod_userdir in a way it looks for the "public_html" in /home/local/2T/*/pubic_html, not /home/*/public_html [23:14] chalcedony, you can also move the windows around by holding down alt and dragging with the mouse [23:14] ilovegreen, try setting the time manually once [23:14] bk__, I Don't believe mod_userdir supports such configuration, since it is based on the user's home dir [23:14] ilovegreen, it just has to be in the same zone is all [23:15] where I set my clock inb 7.10 it resets the network manager [23:15] ilovegreen, where are you ? [23:15] its the only real bug I have with 7.1 [23:15] central standard [23:15] Lamego: it are home directoiries there.. i just umplemented AD authentication [23:15] ilovegreen, which central .... [23:15] so I check monterrey [23:16] ilovegreen, it might not have ntp servers, that could be the problem [23:16] ompaul: central standard [23:17] Does anyone know what I can do to get my sound to detect its driver? I have tried all the stuff in !sound to the best of my ability.

Does anyone know how to achieve this? [23:18] Carbonflux: thanks that got it [23:18] ubuntu freezes for 4 or 5 secs on my laptop, it apperas to be random,gutsy 7.1, ideas? [23:18] ilovegreen, the best ntp server to use is _always_ pool.ntp.org because of the way NTP works your machine finds the nearest functional public NTP server [23:18] stroyan: When I go there it shows network "Windows Network" but it doesn't show me the computers using it [23:18] it happens sometimes === dv2000_ is now known as mlerner [23:18] bk__, Userdir public_html /home/local/2T/ http://www.example.com/ [23:19] unop: thanks [23:19] ilovegreen, depending on how technical you want to be you could take a look at this: http://www.pool.ntp.org/ [23:19] !apache [23:19] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

I think I might have accidentally upgraded to the new beta hardon [23:21] I love green too btw, its my fav color heh [23:21] magoon.. go to System--> About Ubuntu [23:22] hexon: Try "Places->Connect to server" and fill in credentials.

The version I have works really strangely with logmein, which is the main reason I need a java plugin to begin with [23:40] Halp! [23:41] danny, k thanks didnt see your replay u put a w where a v should have been good thing i decided to scroll back lol [23:41] I'd like to avoid running a 32-bit version of firefox if possible [23:41] niuq: if you have the nvidia drivers and compiz running that is a fairly well known issue [23:41] a few months ago i set an option on my external USB disk to make it not power down (it's a Seagate FreeAgent) to workaround a problem, though i've heard it reduces the drive's lifetime so i now want to revert that change [23:41] anyone have any idea how i set what i did? [23:41] Any prelovers here? [23:41] which irc for intel macs? [23:41] bascule: i dont have nvidia drivers [23:42] odd [23:42] terinjokes: Here [23:42] niuq: by titlebar do you mean the top of wndows or the main panel? [23:43] so I have 4 partitions, one is / another is /home. after re-installing ubuntu, I have problems running local apps in /home/patryk/... the scripts can't find files that are there. I don't think this is a $PATH issue because the files/scripts/programs are in the same directory. Is there some sort of cache that I need to update that has a listing of all the files? Does anyone have any ideas? [23:43] bascule: the top of windows [23:43] it is compiz related then, almost certainly [23:43] mind you I only formatted /, not /home [23:43] flannel: got a user in ##mac wanting to single-install ubuntu... how should i tell him to setup a bootloader? [23:43] niuq: try alt+f2 metacity --replace [23:44] sorry..

It still died, though, with signal 11 [23:44] warriorforgod, POD by chance? [23:44] unop, thanks. Now I'm up-to-date here. [23:45] anyone know if its possible to see if i have bluetooth on this older laptop ?

I thought it used deb [23:46] hey anyone know of a decent command line dc++ client [23:46] bascule: i have an ati card [23:46] Anybody have any idea why I can't open flock by clicking on the application but have to open it by clicking on a link from a other application?? [23:46] bung: there is a website that gives you drivers compatibility [23:46] !bluetooth [23:46] bascule: yeah it was driving me crazy with no sound [23:46] jtravnick: there is a program called alien for that, it converts rpm to deb [23:46] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [23:46] jtravnick: you would have to convert it with alien [23:47] niuq: lol, sorry I am so used to that being nvidia related ... :) [23:47] was wondering if anyone knows how to turn off auto update on dns [23:47] perhaps the solution is similar [23:47] bascule: brb i'll restart X [23:47] k [23:48] how do I install a gnome theme?

[23:49] patryk996: Having "." in the PATH can be a security risk, especially if root ever wanders into user writable directories. You could add it to ~/.bashrc .

I then uninstalled WINE and removed all wine files (I think) and reinstalled Wine. Now I cant reinstall Visio and I still see Visio in the list under wine -> programs (although it doesnt run of course). Any suggestions to be able to reinstall Visio?

[23:50] Ok i own a Computer which came with default Windows XP sp2 and i was wondering if i switched over to ubuntu could if for some reason one day i could switch back to the default operating system it came with. [23:51] stroyan: So maybe I'm missing something. How is it possible for me to have installed Ubuntu, installed an app in my /home partition, then RE-install the SAME VERSION of Ubuntu back into / after formatting, still mount /home partition as /home, and now all of a sudden local scripts can't see files in the same directory? [23:51] Guest: yes you can if the drive it's on is already partitioned [23:51] Guest716: yes, but if the thing came with on board recovery you will need to burn the discs first [23:51] ther eis a util somewhere in win [23:51] Is there a quick and easy way to upgrade to OpenOffice 2.4 via Apt-Get etc? Tried in #OpenOffice.Org, but nobody's responding there [23:51] is* [23:51] Board recovery? [23:51] Pedantic-Steve: when you uninstall things through wine you have to manually delete the icons by right clicking on Applications, then edit menues [23:51] if not then there are some apps you can use to partition the winXP drive safely - though i forget the names of the apps [23:51] Guest716: on a partition on the drive [23:52] Would that be default if i bought it with the windows? [23:52] bascule: thanks! [23:52] hexon: thanks. do you have any guesses why I can no longer install Visio when I could install it this morning [23:52] OF something i would of had to do myself?
