mactaylorexfat is the new filesystem00:00
JustJadenwhat other commands can I use?00:00
ServeckHello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.00:01
Servecki cant install it00:01
kindofabuzzJustJaden: there are thousands and thousands00:01
Peloxavierpwns, !wifi is a trigger for the channel bot to give you instruciton the bot seems to be down , be patient00:01
bobdoleHi all. I have a problem with a new Ubuntu 7.10 install - I go through a full installation and reboot, only to find that it does not boot. There is an ALERT! message once it stops hanging on the loading bar.00:01
Serveckwill not pop up, is that due to me running 64 bit?00:01

Serveckshould i just scrap this install and simply re-do it with the 32 bit version?00:08
Serveckthis is being a pain, because i dont have a clue how to use linux00:08
bazhangServeck: well that depends on you; do you have over 4GB of ram and/or hate youtube?00:08
Servecki got 2gb of ram, and i like youtube..00:08
ScuniziServeck, yes.. use the 32 bit version... much better for you in the long run.. the learning curve is high enough when converting.00:09
bazhangServeck: then the 32 bit is the best bet; flash install on 64 bit can be a bit tiring00:09
Servecki might as well scrap this install (having no experience)00:09
Jack_Sparrowagreed00:09
Serveckaight.. looks like i need to swap hard drives now00:09
Serveckill brbr (going to laptop)00:09
dudesmnati-driver-installer-8.3-x86.x86_64.run: command not found00:09
ScuniziServeck, when redoing it create a separate /home partition00:09
Scunizitoo late00:09
bazhangheh00:09
xavierpwns"Open System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager and you will see that under the Firmware drop down arrow it says Firmware for Broadcom 43xx chipset family and under Status it says Not in Use."  when i click on the rest. driver manager it says "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers." and nothing else00:10
levanderI'm trying to figure out what problems Serveck had with 64 bit Ubuntu.  What were the problems?  I'm thinking about upgrading myself.00:10
Scuniziflaxh00:10
dudesmnummmm00:10
bazhanglevander: he was totally new to ubuntu00:10
dudesmnyep00:10
dudesmnstill cant install my drivers00:10
dudesmn:\00:10
levanderHe was saying something about flash.  But, I thought there was some firefox plugin wrapper that 32 bit flash works in?  Is there still some problem with flash?00:11
levanderbazhang: So, what makes it more difficult to install 64 bit for newbies?00:11
bazhangxavierpwns: open a terminal and type ifconfig does it show only lo and eth0 or a third listing as well00:11
bazhanglevander: flash for one00:11
unoplevander, unfamiliarity in a new environment00:11
levanderbazhang: I thought that firefox plugin wrapper on 64 bit was supposed to work fine with flash?00:12
xavierpwnsit only has eth0 and lo00:12
dudesmnmy drivers wont install00:12
bazhangxavierpwns: did you install the driver?00:12
Jack_Sparrowlevander, 32 bit is still recommended for new users,  dual booting 32 and64 is another good option.00:13
xavierpwnsim not sure how :/00:13
levanderJack_Sparrow: Any idea why 32 bit is still recommended for new users?00:13
dudesmn=/00:13
doseryderhi guys.  I need help with setting wireless internet in gutsy gibbon00:13
bazhangdoseryder: what card00:13
unoplevander, it still requires you use a terminal to run a few commands and thats where they get stuck at, no point and click can be confuzzling :)00:13
carlzenoxwhy wont this work "print $con "NICK ".$3."\n";"00:13
levanderunop: Which commands?00:13
Jack_Sparrowlevander, flash and driver issues are the basics..00:14
carlzenoxit says no nickname given00:14
doseryderbazhang:Thank you for your prompt response and attention to my problem00:14
bazhanglevander: any commands ;]00:14
carlzenoxhello o.o00:14
mat__is this the place to get 8.04 help?00:14
levanderbazhang: Like, there's no "Software Sources" dialog in 64 bits, so you have to use apt-get on the command line?00:14
dudesmni need help installing my ati drivers00:14
bazhang#ubuntu+1 please mat__00:14
Jack_Sparrowmat__, no00:15
mat__thanks00:15
doseryderbazhang: its a TP-LINK wireless g usb00:15
levanderJack_Sparrow: Well, I hope my wireless Linksys card works under 64 bits.  It works fine with ndiswrapper under 32 bits.00:15
bazhanglevander: this is getting a bit offtopic..00:15
Jack_Sparrowagreed00:15
ubuntu__hi, im using my friends computer, im on a livecd trying to copy his media over to ane xternal cause his internal hd is messed up. i cant copy more than like 100 files without it freezing up00:15

ubuntu__why is it locking up/freezing00:15
bazhangdoseryder: what does lspci in the terminal say about that card (just the one line)00:15
unop_carlzenox, what language is that?00:15
CJDBunnYhi00:15
doseryderbazhang: in the past i have heard about the ndiswrapper thingy but never looked into it cuz i never had the need to00:15
MakotoTheKnightI have a problem with my Java -- I tried to install 1.6.0_05 today, but that turned out to be a mistake.00:16
CJDBunnYdoes ubuntu come with a DVB viewer?00:16

MakotoTheKnightDoes anyone have any tips on how I can get Java back to where it's supposed to be?00:16
carlzenoxunop_:perl00:16
CJDBunnYlike kubuntu has kaffiene which works with DVB00:16
Scuniziubuntu__, are you using the command line or gui to do the copy00:16
Jack_Sparrowlevander, we have told you specifically areas that are a problem.. we have told you you are drifting into offtopic..00:16
ubuntu__Scunizi, gui.00:16
bazhanglevander: actually folks here do know but this is not the 32/64 bit chat channel ;]00:16
unop_carlzenox, you trying to write a script?00:16
Scuniziubuntu__, and is the external a usb drive?00:16

levanderbazhang: Jack_Sparrow: You guys need to read the channel topic.00:17
nicodariousOK, so now THIS is odd...  I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 onto my system without a hitch.  I had the command prompt when booted and from there, since my vid card drivers weren't installed.  I installed linux-source.2.6.22 without a problem...  I went to install ANYTHING ELSE and I now get a core dump with apt-get!!!!  WTF?!?!?00:17

JustJadenhow do I get the system to recognize my wireless card?00:19
ubuntu__ty a lot Scunizi00:19
Jack_Sparrownicodarious, only if you have added non-supported repos00:19
Scuniziubuntu__, np00:19
SlartJustJaden: depends very much on what card it is00:19
bazhangdoseryder: best way to do it is in the system itself; any way to get online and troubleshoot from a seperate computer?00:19
Loungei use both gcc 4 & gcc if i wann compile things like jedi academy00:19
Serveckok back00:19
JustJadenhow can I find out?00:19
ubuntu__oh, Scunizi, i copied a buncha stuff over. will that automatically overwrite it (whiuch is fine)00:19
Loungegcc 3 is better for the q3 comiling i think00:19
Loungecompiling*00:19
Scuniziubuntu__, yes..00:19
Serveckok, so im downloading unbuntu 32 bit this time, im assuming its exactly the same00:20
SlartJustJaden: you might get better answers if you include info such as chipset on your card, model, brand.. output from lspci etc00:20
Serveckafter all that time spent into configuring ubuntu, i find out i installed the wrong version....00:20
dudesmni need help installing my graphics drivers00:20
SlartJustJaden: lspci will give you a long number identifying your card... google for that number and ubuntu and you might find something00:20
Serveckshould i install 7.10 or 8.04? (new to linux)00:20
ScuniziServeck, yep.. this time make yourself a separate /home partition when installing.. it will help you when you bugger you system up bad enough that you want to reinstall fresh. your data and programs will remain00:20
nicodariousJack_Sparrow, I haven't added anything though.  no repos added, fresh install.  has happened twice now (two different reinstalls).  It only happens after apt-get install-ing linux-source-2.6.22.  after that, apt-get dumps core00:21

Serveckwow.. this is one fast torrent... it will only take 20 minutes to download00:26
amenadofr500-> once more, just compiling a source does not change the init script00:26
KalElhow can i move the close button on the top panel? somehow it has moved towards the left and is not moving past the volume control00:26
fr500amenado: i understand, but i still have that issue00:27
nicodariousJack_Sparrow, how so?  I didn't even download and install the updates yet.  like I said it's a fresh install with nothing on it.  how could there be damage already by just installing source files for the kernel?00:27
LoungeKalEl: right click and unlock it00:27
ubuntu__im trying to backujp my friends drive, i did it via cli, anyone know what this error means? "cp: reading `/media/disk-1/ryan/Media/12 Stones/12 Stones/01 Crash.mp3': Input/output error"00:27
amenadofr500-> now if you installed something that also affects the init script, thats different00:27
Jack_Sparrownicodarious, something is up...  is that hardy you have there or some other distro?00:27
fr500amenado: just did apt-get source mpd, configure make and did a checkinstall to generate a deb, maybe that's my fault?00:27
amenadofr500-> compiling not equal to installing00:27
KalElLounge, aha thanks00:28
LoungeKalEl: np00:28
amenadofr500 checkinstall ?  thats not an  ubuntu step is it?00:28
Slartubuntu__: that's a very generic error.. could be almost anything00:28
andreturettaexit00:28
fr500instead of make install, checkinstall generates a backup deb and then installs00:29
xenthroxavierpwns, im sending you broadcom drivers that work00:29
nicodariousJack_Sparrow, official 7.10 Gutsy distro straight from Ubuntu website.00:29
xavierpwnsxenthro: thanks so much00:29
bazhangnicodarious: what are you installing source files for the kernel?00:30
SpookyETIs it possible to upgrade to linux mint from gutsy?00:30
bazhangSpookyET: nay00:30
amenadofr500 okay, so your did install, and whatever you created from source (ie the deb) was installed overwriting the old one00:30
LjLSpookyET: i don't think so, but you should ask the Mint people00:30
SlartSpookyET: you'll have to ask the Linux Mint people.. probably not00:30
bazhangSpookyET: severe downgrade00:30
fr500amenado: all i want to do is the normal mpd available to have flaac support, so i gotta pass aflag00:30
xenthroxavierpwns, check your XDCC00:30
SpookyETbazhang: it's based on gusty, what are you talking about00:30
stroyanUbuntu__: EIO may be an actual read error from the disk drive.  Did anything interesting happen to the system before all the errors started?  If not, then I would expect it is the hard drive failing. You may see messages about that in /var/log/messages.00:30
nicodariousbazhang, all i did was initiate "apt-get install linux-source-2.6.22"  it installed, then i went to libc6 and it gave me a core dump00:30
Slart!gusty00:30
amenadofr500 you can always check the contents of the init script to see how it works00:30
xavierpwnsxenthro: :[ what's that?00:30
ubotuIt is spelt !guTSy :)00:30
LoungeSpookyET: its better to backup your personal files to t bz2 file and then doing a clean install to mint00:30

webtoenks_: but have a look on the madwifi.org website for your card. There might be some useful information there which I can't tell you about. Research will reap its own rewards!!00:57
nks__ok, I was thinking it may have been the WEP that was actually causing part of the problem and maybe I should disable WEP. What do you think ?00:58
amenadoJustJaden-> go to that directory and  see if there is the *.swp file00:58
webtoegetting more beer00:58
nks__What do you think - webtoe00:58
Traveler4scunizi: There's "Wired Connection" grayed out with "roaming mode enabled" under it and "modem connection" also grayed out00:58
nickrudnks__ that would isolate the error. Works, wep. Not works, network ;)00:58
amenadoScientus-> yep the fuser -km /dev/sdaX will forcibly kill process access that device00:58
JustJadenamenado> how do I do that?00:58
xavierpwnsxenthro: going to restart and hopefully it'll be working :] wish me luck00:58

reya276how can I remount my WD USB 500GB hard drive00:59
ScuniziTraveler4, ok... now were getting somewhere.. see if you can put a checkmark next to "Wired connection" and then click the "Properties" button and make sure roaming is turned off and dhcp is enabled00:59
amenadoScientus-> make a lil cheat sheet for things like this..for future reference00:59
webtoenks_: yes that might help. You see, the driver often needs to implement the encryption system as well. So disabling wep migfht help00:59
Scientusi allways look up man pages on command that are useful00:59
reya276for some reason the drive is not being recognized event after I unplug it and plug it back in00:59
Traveler4scunizi: Well, I've done that before, but didn't work.02:00
nickrudnks__ I'm not a wireless networking expert by any means. But that's what I did to set mine up. Worked with an unsecure network to make sure I had the basics right, then moved on to passwords02:00
webtoenks_: i used to use the acx100 driver for a card and it didn't support some versions of encryption because they hadn't implemented it yet02:00
david_can anyone help me with getting aMSN to work please ?..dont wanna  butt in02:00

david_I installed aMSN, but when I try to log in, I get a message telling me I need to install a 'TLS module'.then I have to choose my system architecture, so I choose 'linux-x86, but it won't work02:05
nickrudrhineheart_m admin users have sudo privileges, you would add a user to admin to let them sudo02:05
ScuniziTraveler4, ok.. I'm going to turn this over to amenado because he knows the "other" right things to ask. amenado, Traveler4 can get to his router with his new install but not the net. He's 1st time on ubuntu and running between rooms to do things on the ubu box. can you help him?02:05
doseryderamenado: hi, earlier you mentioned fuser -km /dev/sdaX kills whatever process that's hoggin that device.  Is there a way to find out what that process (pid?) is before killing it?02:05
webtoedavid_: is this from the ubuntu repositories?02:06
marionQuick question. If I update 7.10 to 8.4 using the update tool, will it delete the contents of my /home?02:06
webtoeaMsn i mean02:06

Scuniziamenado, other machines on the router work fine and a direct connection to the cable modem also doesn't work .. right Traveler4?02:06
RoootyHi how do I install Non-English fonts pls?02:06
amenadoTraveler0-> paste in pastebin your ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf  and sudo iptables -n -vL  this will assist me02:06

david_webtoe...........not sure I understand the question, sorry02:06
Traveler4scunizi, amenado: That's right.02:06
marionwebtoe: Should I go through the trouble to move /home to a different partition?02:06
Scuniziamenado, he can't paste to the pastebin no connection even with live cd..02:07
amenadodoseryder-> using lsof perhaps02:07
Traveler4scunizi: I'm not really sure what a pastebin is, though.02:07
webtoedavid_ are you installing amsn from the ubuntu package manager?02:07
webtoeor have you downloaded it from their website? keep in mind its been a02:07
webtoefew years since i've used aMSN02:07
nickrudrhineheart_m you would either make the directory writeable by all, or use sudo when you write to the dir. Depends on the dir02:07
rhineheart_mnickrud, I will be using winscp to transfer files.. but it gives me permission error everytime I will create files somewhere in /var/www subdir..02:07
ScuniziTraveler4, good luck.. this one is beyond my understanding..  pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org02:07
webtoemarion: not if you're upgrading.02:07
amenadoTraveler4-> well you just have to be patient in copying it down to the pastebin, it helps a lot.. also describe your network setup please02:07
david_webtoe...I believe so........02:07
webtoeshouldn't make a difference, just keep in mind you're using beta software02:08
CapaHI am confused about refresh rate settings. I know this monitor is 1280x800@60 --- but I dont know if that is the horizontal or the vertical refresh rate. Also, I dont know how to determine the "other" (i.e. if its horizontal, what is vertical and vice versa)02:08
ScuniziTraveler4, maybe save the info amenado asks for on a usb key then take it to the other machine and paste it to bastebin02:08
jaffarkelshacget http://..... get is not coming out as a command anyone know why02:08
* Scunizi is away: Honey Do List calls02:08
marionwebtoe: Thank you for your time! Much appreciated.02:08
nickrudrhineheart_m ah. then you need to make   /var/www writeable by non group or user:    sudo chmod -R  o+w  /var/www02:08
rhineheart_mnickrud, so I guess.. the better alternative for this one. is to allow the user to only write in the specified folder.. not to anywhere...02:08
david_I'm open to suggestions as to another chat client that will allow me to chat with others on msn02:08
webtoedavid_: i may be wrong but I think aMSN uses mozilla's (or02:08
webtoenetscape's) SSL package, so you may need that. Hang on a second and02:08
webtoeI'll look02:08
nickrudrhineheart_m yes, doing it specifically to one dir under www would be good02:09
webtoemarion: no problem02:09

rhineheart_mnickrud, sudo chmod -R  o+w  /var/www/**** <<< will give writable permission to non-group or user.. how about giving that permission to single user only? how to do it?02:11
david_webtoe...I'll use the easiest method....02:11
webtoedavdi_: that will install amsn, plus any dependencies02:11
nickrudrhineheart_m you could make him the owner of that single directory. The only drawback if you do that is that apache can't write to the dir (like allowing uploads from the web page) unless it's owned by www-data. If apache isn't going to write there, it's all god02:11

Jack_SparrowCapaH, I dont have much time, wife is putting out dinner right now.02:14
nickrudrhineheart_m that happened when you unpacked the drupal tarball. drupal does require write to /files , you need to chown that to www-data . Some admin screen should tell you it's not right right now02:14

rhineheart_mnickrud, I am just confirming it.. so if the username is billgates... is this the right one? sudo chown billgates:billgates /var/www/somewhere ?02:17
Jack_SparrowCapaH, remove lines 84 and 85...   the 1280 res has too high a rate based on those v/h numbers.. make it guess.. good luck02:17

Aragornamenado: the only reason i need windoze is itunes :]02:31
geirhasymptom: I'm not saying they will, I'm just saying they were available a week or so before the previous release, so it's probable that the same holds for hardy02:31
bazhangdavid_: get a more recent version that is not supported now02:31
webtoedavid_ you can upgrade from one release to another, but it would take a lot of time02:31
Lupe5david_: 5 is very old.02:31
david_webtoe,,,,I thought so...so it doesnt do an auto upgrade?02:31
webtoedaveid_: if I were you I'd either download a newer version or buy a magazine which has it on the front cover02:31
Lupe5david_: no sorry, it doesn't02:31
david_I can let it run overnight02:32
rhineheart_mIs there any web interface now working better with ubuntu?02:32
webtoedavid_ You can upgrade, but its not automatic. You have to tell it to upgrade to the next release. and 5.04 is v old02:32
bazhangrhineheart_m: try ebox instead of webmin02:32
david_think I'll do that then...I got time02:32
rhineheart_mbazhang, I tried that one and I didn't like it. I like webmin even than ebox02:32
webtoedavid_: so you'd have to upgrade quite a few times to get to the latest version. It would be like jumping from Windows 3.1 throught every version using an upgrade to Vista02:32

Lupe5xavierpwns: Alas, no. I have the Intel® 3945 802.11a/g Mini-card02:40
mackidLupe5: scrobbling is showing what tracks you've played on last.fm, which is a website that lets you share your musical tastes with your friends02:40
Aragornnephth: well, yes02:41
IndyGunFreakAragorn: have youc onsidered putting XP and Itunes in Vmware, and just booting up vmware when you want to scrobble, or whatever02:41
Aragornyou can scrobble with linux02:41
mackidLupe5: so iPod scrobbling is syncing what tunes you have played on an iPod with your computer, which then syncs to the last.fm website.02:41

webtoexavierpwns: No that's not true. I'm being cynical. I'm just expressing the problem with all wireless cards02:53
LjLFFVV: it is02:53
Shadow420FFVV> yes it is02:53
FFVVwhat is it called?02:53
themimePici: thanks02:53

xavierpwnswebtoe: ya :/ god this is ridiculous. you think i should wait until 8.04 and pray for broadcom support?02:53
webtoegoogle is your friend02:53
Shadow420FFVV | !find tlc02:54
themimePici: worked perfectly, thanks again02:54
PiciFFVV: search for tcl, its in there.  Plus eggdrop is in the repos as well.02:54
FFVV!find tcl02:54
ubotuFound: sh:02:54
Shadow420FFVV | !find tcl02:54
FFVVok02:54
webtoexavierpwns: the problem is that broadcom take a unique approach to wireless02:54
dudesmnhow do i check the partition for erros02:54
Traveler4amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61545/02:54
webtoexavierpwns: almost all the functionality of the card is kept in the firmware of the device and very little in hardware or software02:54
stroyanShadow420:  If you are booted to ubuntu, then 'sudo grub-install /dev/sdb'  Or whatever device is your second drive.02:54
Shadow420FFVV if required make the universe repo acive02:55
xavierpwnswebtoe: i know there is a way to get it running, but i can't find a correct walkthrough for 7.10 :[02:55
webtoexavierpwns: it just so happens that hardy heron will have the latest kernel with the latest mac802 whatever layer in it which will make wireless easier02:55
FFVVi can't find it, theres so much stuff, does anyone know the exact name? its 3 am and im sooo tired lol02:55
amenadoTraveler4-> this is an wired ethernet interface right not a wireless?02:55
webtoexavierpwns: you could look at ndiswrapper. It works for lots of chipsets and just requires the windows driver02:55
bazhangFFVV: best to sleep we will be here when you get up02:55
PiciFFVV: use the search tool, search for tcl.  Or just install eggdrop out of the repositories.02:56
dudesmnhow do i check the ubuntu partition for erros02:56
Traveler4amenado: That is correct.02:56
IndyGunFreakFFVV: do you have build-essential installed?02:56
xavierpwnswebtoe: i have the windows driver. could you walk me through ndiswrapper?02:56
Boohbahwebtoe: since when has there been a new development in wireless drivers?02:56
webtoexavierpwns: I can try but keep in mind its been a little while since I've used it02:56
xavierpwnswebtoe: i'll take anything right now :] just try02:56
amenadoTraveler4-> you are on livecd or an installed ubuntu?02:56
geirhaFFVV: « aptitude search '^tcl.*-dev$' »  You probably need one of those02:56
bazhangBoohbah: since the latest release (beta)02:57
webtoeboohbah: well, its more to do with the introduction of the Mac stack and the wirless drivers being ported over to use it instead of the IPW stack from intel02:57
Traveler4amenado: installed, but it wouldn't work on the livecd either.02:57
amazen720has anybody installed gtag on ubuntu?02:57
webtoexavierpwns: let me get another beer then lets have a look if you're brave enough...02:57
xavierpwnswebtoe: haha ok :] i think i am02:57
bazhangamazen720: what is gtag and what do you want to do02:57
Boohbahso, intel mac users only?02:58
amenadoTraveler4-> since it is installed, paste the contents of   /etc/network/interfaces ie cat /etc/network/intefaces  and lshw -c network02:58
dudesmnhow do i check the ubuntu partition for errors02:58
Pici!fsck | dudesmn02:58
ubotududesmn: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot02:58
webtoexavierpwns: have you got ndiswrapper installed?02:58
amazen720how do you install gtag, on ubuntu?02:58
xavierpwnswebtoe: i'm not sure. how can i check for sure?02:59
bazhangamazen720: please answer my question first02:59
webtoeboohbah: no nothing to do with macintoshes. Its to do with the MAC address layer i believe. Or more importantly how wireless devices use the MAC layer to interact with the physical medium02:59
amazen720bazhang:didnt see your question02:59
webtoexavierpwns: the easiet way is apt-get install ndiswrapper02:59
bazhangamazen720: scroll up02:59
martin_hello02:59
Traveler4amenado: So I type cat /etc/network/interfaces; lshw -c network02:59
webtoeit will tell you whether its already installed02:59

ubotuIf an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »03:00
amenadoTraveler its lshw -C network   note the capital letter C03:01
CookieMonsterhow do i chec the ubuntu partition for errors03:01
webtoeboohbag: yes. You'll just have to trust me that there's lots of shenanigans that has to take place for wireless to work and different cards do different things. Some implement thigns in hardware, others in firmware and others palm it all off to software to implement03:01
fuhrealBoohbah: ya.. like that i can display in a term on my desktop03:01
Boohbah!fsck | CookieMonster03:01
ubotuCookieMonster: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot03:01

amazen720bazhang: add*03:01
stroyanfuhreal:  If you want to watch kernel calls by particular processes have a look at the strace command.03:01
bazhangamazen720: is it in the repos? if so sudo apt-get install packagename03:01
CookieMonsterok now what if i cant boot into ubuntu03:02

REDLiNEhey is the tcl lib in apt?03:06
Blacklife08mozilla 2.1203:06
PiciREDLiNE: yes......03:06
xavierpwnswebtoe: lol :] should i have tried ndiswrapper-common?03:06
webtoexavierpwns: yes03:06
shadeofgreycan someone savwe me a whole lot of trouble and classify on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard it is to take a leopard based daual boot with vista via bootcamp and then add ubuntu linux 8.10?03:06
REDLiNEPici i did the search cmd it comes up with like 50lines.....03:06
pluxprettyricky: nope, but you got the konqurer browser, that uses KHTML, that is the stuff webkit is based on03:06
webtoexavierpwns: i'm just looking to see what else you need. Think you also need ndiswrapper-utils and module03:07
REDLiNEwhat would the name be?03:07
xavierpwnswebtoe: ok well i have ndiswrapper-common03:07
prettyrickyyeah I was just trying to see if I can get Safari03:07
webtoexavierpwns: ok03:07
PiciREDLiNE: tcl perhaps03:07
Boohbahshadeofgrey: 1103:07
StarnestommyREDLiNE: try tcl8.4 and tcl8.4-dev03:07
amazen720has anyone ever installed 'gtag' on Ubuntu 7.10?03:08
Piciamazen720: What is gtag?03:08
webtoexavierpwns: ok also install ndiswrapper-utils03:08
pluxprettyricky: http://mondaybynoon.com/2007/04/23/installing-and-running-webkit-in-linux-using-qt/ you can do that, it's webkit that renders the pages in safari03:08
shadeofgreyBooh - what if i killed vista entirely?03:08
Traveler4amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61546/03:08
HoboBenprettyricky - you can run Safari in wine, but the interface is slow and not pretty. I'd only do it for testing PHP scripts that treat safari's useragent specially03:08
prettyrickythanks for the info!03:08
xavierpwnswebtoe: it ways ndiswrapper-common replaces ndiswrapper-utils03:08
prettyrickyyeah I tried that didn't like it03:08
prettyrickythank you though03:09
xavierpwnssays*03:09
masterEder~/wc03:09
REDLiNEStarnestommy done that now were would it have been installed the lib file right?03:09
amazen720Pici: suppose to allow you to tag files, like mp3 files with (artist)(Genre)03:09
stroyanamazen720:  the 'tagtool' package from the universe repository looks like a solid equivalent to gtag.03:09
jaffarkelshacany good ubuntu games03:09
shadeofgreyBoohbah, could you point me in the direction of instructions?03:09
webtoexavierpwns: ok then that's fine. I just looked at the ndiswrapper-utils and it says it depends on ndiswrappe-common. install it anyway nad we'll see what happens next03:09
andashshadeofgrey: my guess is that he's joking, because of the "8.10"... it's 8.0403:09
StarnestommyREDLiNE: maybe /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so03:10
Piciamazen720: I dont see it in the repositories, but other tagging programs exists, like easytag03:10
shadeofgreyandash, well that still doesnt get me any closer to the end goal03:10
amazen720stroyan: thanks I'll check it out03:10
amenadoTraveler4-> i will assume here that an Intel gigabit card is supported on ubuntu, but am not 100% sure...but ifyou do an "sudo  ifup eth0"  you are not getting an ip address though right?03:10
webtoexavierpwns: you'll also need the windows driver for your card. Notably, you need the .inf file03:10
andashshadeofgrey: no of course not. i have no experience with bootcamp, so i can't help you. sorry03:10
xavierpwnswebtoe: i've got ndiswrapper-common already installed. there's no way to install the -utils03:11

wilJeffreyf, I use virtualbox and love it :) but I have a .vmdk file and I can not convert it or use it in anything other than vmware player03:17
xavierpwnswebtoe: if it's on my desktop what would i put?03:17
Traveler4amenado: No, it's a desktop PC, and that last command just came back as "Is a directory"03:17

Llewxamhi guys. i have a problem with my internal mic on a hp dv6000. it's not recording sound.03:17
bazhangtalntid: that is the 3945 you mean?03:17
amenadoTraveler yes its a directory, i'd like to know what it listed03:17
wilandash, thanks, but i dont need anything advanced, i use virtualbox and love it, I just have one .vmdk file that I need to open03:17
whisperkilleryeah...im still trying to figure out my wirless card....i found what looks like it but it is labled as an intel network controller....problem is im trying to find the chipset for it and i cant crossreference it because the intel card isnt listed03:17
amenadoTraveler4-> just stay as root03:17
webtoexavierpwns: sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/xavierpwns/Desktop/broadcom-folder/something.inf03:17
talntidLet me confirm03:17
webtoexavierpwns: where xavierpwns is your username on your linux machine03:18
MoogaI've been having nothing but problems trying to get my videocard to work right in linux03:18
webtoexavierpwns: and broadcom-folder is the folder where the driver is ketp03:18
talntidNope. 1395.03:18
Traveler4amenado: It didn't tell me anything other then "is a directory" it didn't list anything.03:18
amenadowhisperkiller-> look around /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless03:18
Moogacan anyone help? I have an ATI x1600 pro03:18
Scunizi cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf returns "Is a directory" amenado03:18
xavierpwnswebtoe: driver is already installed03:19
amenadoTraveler4-> yes i expected that as being a directory and expect lo should be listed there as minimum03:19
webtoexavierpwns: ok, can you do sudo ndiswrapper -l03:19
amenadoScunizi-> ditto03:19
whisperkilleramenado: can you elaborate a bit on that please?03:19
webtoexavierpwns: does it list your card and an 'ok'?03:19
bazhangtalntid: the dell 1395? what does lspci say about that card in the terminal (just one line)03:19
andashwil: well try downloading the .tar then, its probably just ./configure, make, sudo make install03:20
amenadowhisperkiller-> visit that directory first03:20
Scuniziamenado, I've got you and Traveler4 listed for highlighting.. I'm interested in the solution..03:20
Traveler4amenado: I'm not sure what you want me to paste, though. The only thing it returned was "is a directory"03:20
xavierpwnswebtoe: it says my driver is installed but my windows as an invalid driver o.0 wtf?03:20
amenadowhisperkiller-> and you should see your wireless chip listed there03:20
webtoexavierpwns: it should say "driver installed" and on the next line "ddevice present"03:20
whisperkilleramenado i dont understand how to get there03:21
khaotikcould anyone help me out with some quaestions about my wireless??03:21
whisperkillerdo i enter the command as written on cd?03:21
webtoexavierpwns: hmmm, that's odd. Must think that your windows driver isthe wrong one. Or that its missing some important files03:21
amenadoTraveler4-> am expecting as minimum an lo  -- lo is loopback interface and it should exist on that directory, since it doesnt, something is amiss03:21
bazhangkhaotik: ask, and if someone knows they will answer03:21
webtoexavierpwns: did the .inf file come with any other files? and if so, are they in the same folder as the .inf?03:22
amenadowhisperkiller-> change directory == cd03:22
automadsI have got a "kernel panic" now, I .. Accidently shut down while Synaptic still was operating. Anything I can do?03:22

xavierpwnswebtoe: hold on let me try something03:22
Traveler4amenado: Yeah... so what would the next step be?03:22
Scuniziamenado, I know I have a loop back and I only got "Is a directory" when initiating that command.03:22
bazhangtalntid: the dell 1395 is the broadcom card03:22
amenadowhisperkiller-> yes, and should see a list of chips names..03:22
whisperkillerpici i need the chipset for the wireless card03:22

Piciposeidon: ctrl-alt-backspace will restart xwindows, you'd have to invoke the sysrq keys to reboot the entire machine.03:24
khaotikwell i had my wireless chip working when i installed ubuntu from a copy i downloaded off of the site. my wireless worked perfect after reading every forum out there. i had to do a full reinstall of ubuntu but this time i used the disk they sent me in the mail and now the same way i got my wireless to work no longer works. if that makes any sense?03:24

webtoexavierpwns: when you do the ndiswrapper -i you need to make sure that you point to the .inf file for your driver and that the driver is in the original folder that it came from03:25
khaotikis there a reason for this?03:25
amenadowhisperkiller-> match it with lshw -C network  names should be related to what is listed03:25
mw-homethanks03:25
webtoea .inf is just a text file which points to other files and if the .inf can't find these other files it will have a problem03:25
Traveler4amenado: ah, that's different. Let me try that.03:25
xavierpwnswebtoe: it is and i did. i had to double check03:25

webtoexavierpwns: Don't worry, you're not the only one, and this isn't the only card. Wireless is a pain in the backside due to the way different manufacturers make cards. Sometimes, differnet windows drivers will work and others wont'03:27

wilJeffreyf, didnt know it supported vmdk, il do it right now and let you know... tbh, I didnt even try opening it, I just thought vmdk was propietry and nothing else could use it03:30

bazhangPelo: that will never happen ;]03:30
amenadoTraveler4-> its there as expected..am still perplexed why it can not obtain an ip address.. you have a good cat5 cable?  can you swiitch your cables between those other working pc connectd to same router?03:31
Jeffreyfwil: it doesn't convert it......the link tells you how to convert it.......make sure you keep a safe copy of your original file just in case03:31
khaotikwebtoe: could you tell me if i am doing something wrong trying to install my broadcom driver?03:31
Pelobazhang, it's just that the questions here are getting harder and harder, and I'm not that 1337 to begin with03:31
amenadoTraveler4-> i suspect its the cable not connected to the router, or not plugged in tight, loose connection perhaps?03:31
bazhangPelo: just wait for wubi support ;]03:32
robby_kanei was just in #K3B03:32
whisperkillerbazhang: who makes that chipset?03:32

webtoekhaotik: I might be able to but I don't have a broadcom chip so I can only offer adivce, not tell you what to do03:32
Scuniziamenado, good thought.. "Make sure it's plugged in".. or maybe there's a power outage :)03:32
Traveler4amenado: The cat5 cable has worked fine in the past, and earlier today when Windows was installed. I dunno, I guess I'll keep messing with it.03:32

Traveler4amenado: There is also a light on the back of the motherboard where I plug the cable in that lights up when there's a connection... and it's lit.03:33

Web_Warlordso basically, the documentation hasn't been of use i have the drivers downloaded and need to install them, not sure HOW to install them though04:31
Klesoh04:31
PeddyTHEO|WxC, the cursor and a bakground just shows up. and it stays like that.04:31
webtoefyrstorm: so do you want to try fixing your problem with X? i don't know why your net isn't working while in single user mode.04:31
PeddyTHEO|WxC but I can log in through gnome04:31
webtoefyrstorm: are you not able to ping anything?04:32
fyrstormwebtoe, no and when I do iwconfig I have no connection, it04:32
orbisviciskles, elsewhere. if its a disaster, shout my name04:32
Kamus_H_Zwischuhh04:32
THEO|WxCPeddy: I just google'd the error, and it seems I might be right: that isn't a big deal, and probably isn't the reason you are having trouble. That error is just a warning about fonts, but the system automatically fixes it.04:32
THEO|WxCif you are having a problem, it is probably something else.04:33
Kamus_H_Zwischwhere can i find a tcl script for eggdrop that answer to comands(like !cmd)?04:33
Klesokay what exactly is the "package name"04:33
FlynsarmyI have a problem with my volume settings where about 80% on the slider = 0% volume04:33
fyrstormwebtoe, as far as X, I deleted a bunch of stuff and I am trying to rebuild it but I need to get connected04:33
THEO|WxCPeddy: you are trying to start X from the command line?04:33
Klesthis comes in a folder called "tyrquake-0.58"04:33
Klesbut that's not the package name04:33
Klesthis is so confusing X_X04:33
Flynsarmyand 90% on the slider = 50% volume. 100=10004:33
=== ethan961 is now known as TheEasterBunny
THEO|WxCif so, there are usually a few commands and stuff you need to use.04:33
webtoefyrstorm: just as a quick aside, it might be quicker to plug in an ethernet cable and do it that way04:34
PeddyTHEO|WxC, yes, and the error always stays like that. I am starting it from the command line, I want to run a separate x server.04:34
damo22Flynsarmy:  check PCM and Master volumes04:34
usserFlynsarmy: and PCM is maxed out too?04:34
THEO|WxCI can't remember any off the top of my head, since I never start X from the command line (always Gnome, the GDM)04:34
usserFlynsarmy: when you double click on your mixer04:34
fyrstormwebtoe, I'll give it a try. If that works you want to help fix X? ;)04:34
Klesorbisvicis: Where would I find the "package name" exactly?04:34
webtoefyrstorm: i can give it a go. Also, you may want to do sudo /etc/init.d/networking start04:35
damo22Kles: just a rough guess usually pops up the right package04:35
THEO|WxCPeddy: ah... a 2nd X server? in that case that isn't your problem for sure, and there are definately special options and commands you have to give on the command line for that to work.04:35
Kleswell, nothing has04:35
kennyHELP AGAIN: Firefox is loading REALLY slow :( what can be the problem?04:35
THEO|WxCI can't help you much there, since it's been many many years since i've had to run multiple X servers,04:35
webtoefyrstorm: depends on the problem you're having with X. If you tell me now I can have a little look while you get your net sorted04:35
Klesthe folder name doesn't work04:35
Kamus_H_Zwischwhere can i find a tcl script for eggdrop that answer to comands(like !cmd)?04:35
Klesdropping the version number won't work04:35
Klesbeing very simple with it won't work04:36
THEO|WxCbut I do remember it can be messy for beginners because there are some config files and commands you have to do special for it.04:36
Flynsarmyusser: PCM is at 100. Master is at 90. To get sound working i had to do this: sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-generic04:36
usserkenny: in terminal type killall -9 firefox, this will kill all instances of firefox after that try to launch it again04:36
Klesaaaaargh04:36
damo22killall -9 firefox-bin04:36
THEO|WxCbecause X servers use ports, files, and all sorts of stuff that has to be set up separately for a 2nd server.04:36
orbisvicisKles, what are you compiling? so steps: a) if it is the repositories (synaptic), search for it. Install build dep 2) if not go to the website where you got the package, search for any dependencies there. Install them. 3) read the INSTALL README files. 4) ./configure will tell you what else you need 5) when configure works make04:37
KlesI'm trying to compile this: http://disenchant.net/files/engine/tyrquake-0.58.tar.gz04:37
fyrstormwebtoe, I broke it trying to get fglrx installed from .deb   I am trying to get OpenGL working for games.04:37
KlesI went in to the readme of that04:37
kennyusser, process not killed!04:37
Klesand it simply said "just typing make at the console should work"04:37
Klesand it hasn't.04:37
* Web_Warlord kills himself04:37
PeddyTHEO|WxC, I know, startx /usr/bin/gnome-wm -- :2 does not work, either (it starts gnome and gets stuck)04:37
usserFlynsarmy: hm I wouldn't know sorry, might be useful for people to know what sound chipset you use, I just solved that problem by installing an external sound card04:37
damo22kenny: killall -9 firefox-bin04:38
webtoefyrstorm: what sort of ati card do you have?04:38
usserkenny: what damo22 says04:38
mattiashi, how do i perform an update of delux bittorrent client ?, the program tells me that there is an update but no update is performed when i say yes to make the update, it seems it is thinking for a while and than quits and the deluxe bittorrent program never starts ...04:38

THEO|WxCPeddy: sorry I can't help more, but I'm sure that font thing isn't the problem.04:39

webtoefyrstorm: in grub, highlight your ubuntu line (usually the top one, the default) press 'e' for edit, then press 'e' to edit the second line on the next page. then scroll to the end of that really long line04:41
PeddyTHEO|WxC, I won't bother you if you don't want me to, but it gives this error in the terminal: Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server04:41

usserkenny: well try opera04:41
Kleswell I'll be quite honest04:41
damo22fyrstorm: ctrl-alt-f204:41
Web_Warlordso is there a terminal command or something to load drivers that i have downloaded?04:41
usserkenny: opera.com the installation is pretty straightforward04:41
KlesI'm only on Linux because my XP key has run out of damn validations04:41
kennyusser, can I download it through aptitude?04:41
Klesbecause this computer is so unstable that I've had to reinstall it repeatedly04:41
usserkenny: yes after you add opera.com repo04:42
Klesand Ubuntu has been nothing but a nonstop headache for me04:42
usserkenny: one sec04:42
jribKles: call microsoft then, they will give you the code you need04:42
mattiasWeb_Warlord:  what are you trying to do ?04:42
webtoefyrstorm: then type single at the end of the line04:42
Kleswell, I bought a new one04:42
fyrstormdamo22, tried that too04:42
Klesbut I'm waiting for my new motherboard to arrive so I can build my new computer04:42

ScuniziKles, that's too bad.. linux is about as stable as you'll get.. Tigerdirect is pretty good. I'v built  several machines from them04:43
Klesyeah, that's the weird thing04:43
Klesthey've always been very reliable with me04:43
Web_Warlordmattias i am trying to install drivers so i can have wireless internet and i can't figure out how to install them :(04:43
Klesbut lately? just horrendous04:43
orbisvicisScunizi, i avoid tigerdirect like the plague04:43
Klesas for linux being stable? ehhhh04:43

KlesI've had to restart Pidgin and Firefox repeatedly because they just stop redrawing the screen04:43
=== TheEasterBunny is now known as TheEasterBunnay
ScuniziKles, you gotta get use to it.. once there it just works.. sounds like a vid card issue.04:44
Klesand as I've said before, listening to anything is impossible04:44
usserkenny: ok do sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure/add the following line at the bottom deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner04:44
usser 04:44
cdecarlo_Stroganoff: hey thanks a million! it's so much better now04:44
fyrstormwebtoe, ok it's trying to boot.04:44
usserkenny: after added it do sudo apt-get update04:44
Klesbecause if I have a program open more than a minute, the sound just starts cracking like a camp fire04:44
jribKles: do you have an ubuntu support question?04:44
usserkenny: and apt-get install opera04:44
Transiencei'm trying to install ubuntu on my intel iMac, but the graphical instaler won't work. What do i do?04:44
Kleswell, I did04:44
kennyusser,  thanks04:44
FlannelTransience: Try the alternate CD04:44
KlesI'm installing new packages to see if something works04:44
webtoefyrstorm: it should dump you at a command console04:45
Transiencealternate cd?04:45
ScuniziKles, what are you trying to get working04:45
fyrstormwebtoe, blackscreen and hdd has stopped spinning  with no console.  Let's try again04:45
Klestrying to build some things04:45
KlesI'm just waiting for the stuff to install04:45
cdecarlo_Transience: ya man, the alternate is awesome04:45
Klesalthough in the mean time, might as well ask another question04:45
Kleswhat is the best general sound driver04:45
jribKles: try to keep your responses on a single line04:45
Klesor, at least, how can I get ALSA to not crackle04:46
usserKles: chipsets with ac'97 and successors work the best04:46
usserKles: bah sorry, wrong question, well ALSA is the way to go04:46
ScuniziKles, the default work just fine.. in the next upgrade .. hardy.. they will  change it from alsa to pulseaudio04:46
fyrstormwebtoe, I want to edit the "kernel" line or "initrd"?04:46
webtoefyrstorm: the kernel line04:46
KlesScunizi: No, I can't listen to anything that isn't a sound effect04:46
webtoefyrstorm: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-8-386  or somethign similar04:47
Klesmusic or any consistent sound is so distorted that I have to mute it04:47
Kleseven with my headphones next to me on the desk, I can't stand it04:47
cdecarlo_Kles: ya, you could install pulseaudio, I had the same crackling problem on my Dell 510004:47
Kleshmmm04:47
orbisvicisi need to purge a certain package without removing dependencies, how do i do this ?04:47
cdecarlo_Kles: there is a great how to04:47
ScuniziKles, sounds like you have all kinds of issues with this machine.04:47
usserhehe04:47
KlesScunizi: There's a reason I just busted in to another channel and typed "EVERYTHING IS BROKEN"04:47
ScuniziKles, like cdecarlo said . you can install pulseaudio04:48
jriborbisvicis: dependencies won't get removed.  Do you mean reverse dependencies?  Anyway, why do you want to?  Be more specific04:48
fyrstormwebtoe, now when I open it up the 'single' that I added last time is not there.04:48
dave11!pulseaudio04:48
ubotuPulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions04:48
webtoefyrstorm: yeah its not saved, you have to add it every time to the kernel line04:48
webtoefyrstorm: it should tell the computer to boot into single user mode04:49
orbisvicisjrib, yes, without removing dependent packages. I accidently overwrite some libraries from a svn version, now i need to purge the both and find which files are left behind screwing things up04:49
carlzenoxanyone know a good program like 'kismet' but simpler to use =/04:49
jriborbisvicis: what package is this?04:50
orbisviciscarlzenox, good people dont need kismet04:50
orbisvicisjrib, libjack, jackd04:50
Stroganofforbisvicis: just look an the contents of the packages at http://packages.ubuntu.com04:50
jriborbisvicis: why not reinstall and then remove the extra stuff?04:50
anaoumwhat would be the bash equivalent of this z shellwhile (sleep 100 &!) do; done04:51

fyrstormSo webtoe was trying to help me work through my disaster. Anyone else want to try it?04:56
CookieMonsteridunno04:56
Scunizicameo357, well then it would depend on how your Firefox is setup. look  in FF options  for the download location04:56

jribCookieMonster: stop pressing enter...04:58
CookieMonster=\04:58
orbisvicisjrib, heh oh yeah sudo init 1 wont work04:58
jriborbisvicis: we need to find out what he did exactly I think.  Still with us JonathanEllis?04:58
fyrstormI need help getting logged in to console. I broke X and the system is locking up during boot. I can however get into "recovery console" from grub but I need networking to fix my disaster.04:58
cdecarlo_CookieMonster: is this a laptop04:59
CookieMonsterso basically, my linux partiton messed up due to not shutting it off right04:59
CookieMonsterthen somehow grub messed up04:59
CookieMonsterthis is a desktop04:59
orbisvicisjrib, adding the word Single to the kernel options in grub would though : \04:59
CookieMonsterand so now grub wont even load so i cannot access the linux partition05:00
jriborbisvicis: if you read through the dpkg man page, you will learn of some force options that may allow you to do what you asked earlier, but you're playing with fire.  I believe reinstall would (should) work better though.  In the future you should install things you compile to /usr/local/05:00
sergio_does someone knows if the new gnome release is going to support multiple desktops backgrounds?05:00
cameo351My windows don't minimize, they just go away. Any one know why?05:00
jriborbisvicis: ubuntu has a "recovery mode" option in the grub menu that gives you a root shell, that's probably the easiest way05:00
Scunizifyrstorm, if x is broke why do you need networking to fix it? from the recovery console go to /etc/X11/ look at xorg.conf.. in the beginning  of the file there is a line to rebuild xorg which drives x05:00
cdecarlo_fyrstorm: you can switch to another console by using ctrl+alt+F#, ie. ctrl+alt+F1, ctrl+alt+F7 is X05:01
jribcameo351: do you have the "window list" applet added to your panel?05:01
cameo351no05:01
jribcameo351: try adding it05:01
orbisvicisjrib, right05:01

cdecarlo_CookieMonster: there's got to be05:01
JonathanEllisjrib: The problem started after I shared /home/jonathan so I could copy all my documents, videos etc to my laptop. When I tried to start copying files I got a message that I didnt have permission. I didnt understand why since I login as the same username and password to both machines. However, as a workaround, I added permissions for rwx for ugo, using the file manager. This meant I was able to copy all the files I needed. However, next time I boote05:01

CookieMonsterok05:01
CookieMonsterso05:01
CookieMonsterhow would i do it05:01
fyrstormScunizi, because i deleted some files and need to use apt to get them back05:02
jribJonathanEllis: your message was truncated at "next time I boote"05:02
Scunizifyrstorm, what got deleted?05:02
DipingoCookieMonster, keep your elbow off the enter key05:02

JonathanEllisI am aware that various people have said various things to me but unfortunately I missed them all as I was writing my answer to jrib05:02
CookieMonster:( i need that data back05:03
JonathanEllisjrib: However, next time I booted up the desktop I got an error message that the permissions were incorrect on /home/jonathan and that I should change them using chmod. Unfortunately I didnt write down this error message so I am trying to remember. I think it said to change the permission to 411, and I think thats what I did (chmod 411 /home/jonathan). Now I cant do anything: I cant start any applications at all - not even terminal or file manager b05:03
Shadow420Because I want to keep WinXP bootloader in my MBR05:03
jribJonathanEllis: are you on a different computer?05:03
cdecarlo_CookieMonster: I'm not a partition guru or anything but I would imagine that if you want to get at the linux partition you need to figure out which device it's at and then mount it; ie /dev/had105:03
cdecarlo_*/dev/hda105:03
JonathanEllisYes. I am typing all this on my laptop but the problem is on my desktop05:03
CookieMonsteri believe its 305:04
CookieMonsternot too sure though05:04
cdecarlo_and it's ext3 ?05:04
jribJonathanEllis: k, hit ctrl-alt-f1 on the desktop, does that let you login to a tty?05:04
CookieMonsterthis drive has 3 partitions. 1 being windows, the other is the factory recovery and the third being ubuntu05:04
Scunizifyrstorm, you should have networking in recover console.. there are web browsers that run there and there's also wget that will dowload files.. there's also aptitude which is  like synaptic but for the console to download apps and whatnot05:04
JonathanEllisjrib: OK, done that and now I have a black screen. How long should it take before something happens?05:05
fyrstormScunizi, I have tried wired and wireless without success.05:05
CookieMonsterwas that really necessary05:05
CookieMonsterhow do i figure that out05:06
jribJonathanEllis: so no place to login then?05:06
JonathanEllisjrib: Just realised, when I say its a black screen, I mean the monitor is saying there is no signal05:06

JonathanEllisjrib: Should I reboot? Trouble is, last time my machine was switched off without shutting down properly (the power company helpfully cut the power to my house) it caused loads of file corruptions on the hard disk, so I am reluctant to force a reboot by holding down the power button05:08

fyrstormScunizi, No what I am saying is that when I log into recovery console I tried wireless and wired without success. I have both normally. Do you know if in recovery console from grub, networking is activated by default?05:09
JonathanEllisjrib: Sorry - didnt see your post as I was still typing. Got the desktop back and I am rebooting now05:09
Scunizifyrstorm, should be05:09
Dr_willisShadow420,  You can have grub on the mbr of the 2nd hd. that would be 'sdb' not sdb1. windows mbr can be on sda,  I have a setup like this. I use the bios menu to pick what hd to boot first.05:09

lotharI selct file then open directory and it only gives me the option within Home directory05:15
lotharI want to go above that to the Hard drives I have installed05:16
Scunizilothar, so you have more than one HD and the second is named TV. Is that right?  if so was it in the machine when you installed ubuntu?05:16
sixfortyhow do I use md5 to check d/l'd files?05:16
lotharI have 3 and yes it is correct05:16
lotharAnd yes, I did an install yesterday05:16

Shadow420Dr_Willis this information is confusing me is there a direct tutorial on how to Dual-boot XP/Ubuntu using XP Bootloader?05:18
fyrstormScunizi, or wired for that matter05:19
Dr_willisShadow420,  all i really did on that box was unplug the windows drive when i isntalled linux, that let the installer put the mbr on the linux hd. i then plugged the xp disk back in. and used the bios to ick what Hd to boot.05:19
Scunizilothar.. ok.. could be that vlc doesnt recognize the "name" of the drive.. the  other way is to point vlc to /media/<your_drive_choice> .. drives are labeled by sda, sdb, sdc05:19
Scunizifyrstorm, try ifdown then right  after ifup and see if that  brings up the nic carad05:20
Scunizi*card05:20
lotharScun - And that did it05:20
Scunizilothar, cool..05:20
lotharTy for the help05:20
lotharbut...05:20
Shadow420Dr_Willis well Windows Disk is my Master Drive and the linux which will house ubuntu is my Slave Drive05:20
lotharIs there an easier way?05:20
lotharCould I put a shortcut on the desktop that I could see when I clicked that?05:21
fyrstormScunizi, ok I have to log back in I was just about to re-install ubuntu05:21
Scunizilothar, you could use rythmbox or amorak to manage your  music.. vlc isn't really made to do  that. although it's a great player05:21
Bisclaverethow do i perform something similar to defrag on ext3?05:21
lotharok05:21
FlannelBisclaveret: you don't, ext3 doesn't suffer from fragmentation05:22
lotharQuestion 2, I ha having trouble getting Java jre to run05:22
fyrstormScunizi, when doing ifdown wlan0 it says it is not configured05:22
Scunizifyrstorm, if you reinstall you might consider creating a separate /home partition.. just in case you have to reinstall again your programs will  be safe.05:22
Shadow420Bisclaveret you don't need to defrag ext305:22
lotharIs this the proper place to get help?05:22
BisclaveretFlannel: i don't believe that.05:22
Dr_willisShadow420,  yes. so? You have 2 hard drives..  I unpluggeed  my windows hd. and installed linxu to the 2nd hd.   it dident matter if it was slave or master.05:22
Bisclaveretafter deleting several large gobs of data and replacing them with other files, disk performance has taken a sharp downturn over the past few days.05:22
Scunizilothar, yep05:23
n2diyBisclaveret: its true, but if you insist, run fdisk.05:23
Dr_willisShadow420,  i just unplugged the power conector to the one hd.05:23
jootBisclaveret, It is true05:23
Bisclavereti'm looking for a way to free disk clusters for one05:23
orbisvicisBisclaveret, you can copy the image to another hardrive, wipe the orginal, then copy file by file back to the original drive05:23
lotharScun- What do I need to do to find the problem?05:23
lotharor the right questions in the first place?05:23
Bisclaveretorbisvicis: i don't have any other disks free for that05:23
FlannelBisclaveret: It doesn't because it takes care of it on the fly, doing stuff intelligently05:23
Scunizifyrstorm, sorry.. my networking skills in linux are pretty limited.. wireless I dont know much about05:23
cookismonsterok im back05:23
Bisclaveretand thats the old ibm xt way of defragging ;)05:23
fyrstormScunizi, I have already done the separate /home. I tend to break things often. Any idea on why it says it's not configured. By the way, ifup wlan0 says its ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan005:23
fyrstormScunizi, ok I'll try it with eth005:24
cameo357is there a channel for extreme newbies?05:24
BisclaveretFlannel: and i'm taking a large performance hit from that ;)05:24
lotharLolz I want tha channel too05:24
Shadow420Bisclaveret it's the truth linux uses the ext3 FS in a way that fragmentation can't happen05:24
cookismonsteri ran sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 unbuntuPart and it gave me mount: mount point unbuntuPart does not exist05:24

cdecarlo_cookismonster: were you able to mount the partition?05:24

elpargolothar: what u get when u run "java" ?05:46
cookiemonsterso whats the command i should use05:46
orbisvicislorenzo_, there *might be a better method, but here is mine: go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and find the libuuid. Make a directory to compile it. dget the dsc. (this will require ubuntu packaging tools). Then run dpkg-source -x on the *.dsc file. then go to /debian/control and edit the rules file to pass gcc the -m32 option. Then dch -i to increment the version. Then run debuild -uc -us, and voila a deb. That WIll conflict with the 64 bit05:46
Dr_willislothar,   do trouble shooting, not trying random installs/removeables/things05:46
orbisvicis deb05:46

ethan961haha, RS05:47
nikrudlothar so, the problem is you didn't get the plugin. Run the command I gave you above05:47
orestesasl05:48
orbisvicislorenzo_, or you can get ubuntu's source, and instead of building a .deb, instead of editing the rules file edit the makefile and add to the GCCFLAGS -m32. configure with --prefix=/opt/libuuid_32but. then install. this wont conflict but you wont get a .deb either05:48

bikeboyScunizi, will look into the program though, thanks06:10
n2diyBisclaveret: fsck runs everyday, why do you need to run it now?06:10
cdecarlo_oh my farts stink06:11
Bisclaveretn2diy: because obviosuly rebooting the computer, etc isn't making fsck do it's job, re http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61556/06:11

ridge-meisteranyone here know of an XMAME port that will run on the PS2?  I have roms, but am having trouble getting XMAME (on Ubuntu) to recognize my Axis Pad game controller, so I thought that if XMAME were running on the PS2 it would recognize the PS2 controller AND be more fun to play on the tv. :)06:12
Bisclaveretorbisvicis: theres no option like windows nt's chkdsk where it runs on boot before mounting the FS?06:12
tgelterelpargo: I log in from gdm. The desktop is displayed + the two gnome-panels, then about 5-10 seconds pass while the applets load, and until they load, I'm unable to do anything06:13
ScuniziBisclaveret, it's not needed06:13
orbisvicisBisclaveret, well thats what fsck on boot does06:13
elpargoBisclaveret: depends on ur filesystem, most of those checks are not needed or done automatically.06:13
BisclaveretScunizi: obviously it is.06:13
Bisclaveretit runs on boot, but i've gotten those errors06:13
RossCsnerfu: I'm putting it aside for now. I'll try doing some more searching tomorrow. Thank you for your time!06:13
dabbillWhen useing k9copy to copy a DVD and compress it. It runs through the compressing part, then just stops, never asks for a blank disk or any thing. I set the program to auto burn, and set my Output device my DVD rom. Any thing i am missing?06:13
Bisclaveretunless those errors cropped up in the past 24hrs06:13
elpargotgelter: yea that's a lot, have you try deleting them to be sure it's the applets?06:13
cookiemonsterwhat am i to do now06:14
cookiemonsterhow do i recover the data from the partition06:14
Scunizidabbill, i used it for the first time yesturday but I had it make an iso then I used k3b to burn and it worked like a champ06:14
tgelterelpargo: it happens on my laptop, on my desktop, and on my wife's laptop...I thought it was normal...06:14
elpargocookiemonster: I told you to run sudo fdisk -l and show that.06:14
cookiemonsteri did06:14
orbisvicisdabbill, you can try from terminal k9copy, though thatll waste more time06:14
cookiemonsteri posted the pastebin06:14
elpargotgelter: the lag is normal it's loading a lot of things, but the times for you seem too much.06:15
n2diyBisclaveret: It appears fsck is trying to fix your corrupted files, and your telling it not to.06:15
Bisclaveretwhenever i watch the bootup on the recovery mode FSCK takes all of 2-3 seconds then it moves to the next line so it's obviously not doing anything06:15

qcjnhi, i've uninstall proftpd, but there's still the /var/log/proftpd/....i can remove this ?06:16

Bisclaveretwhich puts it in readonly06:16
n2diyBisclaveret: GL06:16
elpargotgelter: not in the way it's handle, whichs apps by the way?06:16
elpargotgelter: normally python applets are very slow at loading, because of the interface06:17
tgelterelpargo: gnome-system-monitor, frequency scaling, and the normal "notifications"06:17
elpargotgelter: oh yes the system monitor is laggy, I don't use it anymore because of that.06:17
dabbillScunizi, orbisvicis thanks, i guess i will make an ISO then just burn it i guess.06:18

StevenXI have a question about the partition part of installing Ubuntu. When I am choosing how big the new partition will be, am I choosing how big the partition for linux will be, or how big the partition for windows will be?07:31
StevenXFor example, if I have 200 gig hdd, and I tell the program that the new partition should be 150 gigs, then is that 150 for windows and 50 for ubuntu, or the other way around?07:32
SvenstaroStevenX, the one for ubuntu you choose07:32
bullgard4[Services] Why did Ubuntu 7.10 set acpid and reset apmd on my modern laptop computer MD97600?07:32

StevenXSvenstaro, thanks so much. I want to make Ubuntu 10 gigs07:32
terminhellif i remove that, will i still be able to boot into X normally?07:32
SvenstaroStevenX, you can easily make it out by the partition types: windows is NTFS, ubuntu is EXT307:32

Svenstarozcat[1], i actually wanted to try wubi, what can be said about speed07:34

Svenstaro__bullgard4, what exactly is your trouble again?08:07

Svenstaro__DeadLy_sp_, okay, go ahead :)08:09
DistroJockeyterminhell: unless you also try removing quiet and bootsplash *shrugs*08:09

d0lphin_n0elim sorry the question but im try to install and compile one webcam module and it gives to me this error >>>linux/config.h: No such file or directory <<< someone knows how can i fix it?!08:36
magnetronShadow420: i think i read about it in the dual boot HOWTO on TLDP08:36
terminhelldistrojockey: it works now :) thx08:36
magnetrond0lphin_n0el: did you rememeber to type ./configure ?08:36
Dr_willisd0lphin_n0el,  i think you need the kernel header files.  and of course the build-essential package08:36
Shadow420ok then I need a link on it08:36
DistroJockeyterminhell: sweet, np :)08:37
hyperairsudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`08:37

Shadow420because I want to keep WinXP bootloader as my primary bootloader08:37
kelvin911i have a question, now I have 250GB HD partition into C:\(NTFS)  D:\(NTFS)   (EXT3 ubuntu)  (EXT3 swap).  C, D, ext3 are primary.  I still have empty space, can I partition it to other ext3 and install another linux there?08:37
goobguess that wasn't the right fn key lol08:37
d0lphin_n0elok ok thanks lets e try08:38
DistroJockeyShadow420: Google boot linux from xp bootloader  (may get some info from that)08:38
ppcguyhey all08:38
kelvin911will the other linux overwrtie the bootloader so that i cant get into ubuntu ??08:38
hyperaird0lphin_n0el: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`08:38
ppcguyanyone here have any experiance with Open Swan?08:38
hyperaird0lphin_n0el: then you try compiling again08:38
Dr_williskelvin911,  you will need to remove one primary and make a extended partitionm that can hold the logicals. if you want more then 4 partitions08:38
terminhellubotu ya that was the irc one i used to use, but there is one that uses the yahoo and msn protocols too08:38
Dr_williskelvin911,  4 primary partitions max.  thats the limit.08:38

hyperairxD08:39
kelvin911can i change that D: from primary to extended?08:39
Dr_williskelvin911,  since one primary is swap you can do it with a live cd. and put the swap and other space on logicals inside a extended.08:39
hyperairD: awesome emoticon imo08:39
hyperair=D08:39
kelvin911without frying my ext3 partition?08:39
Dr_williskelvin911,  changing from 'primary to extended' is not easially done.08:39
hobbitboySven: if your still here, i just booted into the fluxbuntu, what options should i choose to use the previous partitions i just made with ubuntu?08:39
Svenstaro__hobbitboy, you only need to format the ext3 partiton on tell ubuntu its your / mountpoint08:40

d0lphin_n0elmagnetron just to do the command he says to i do and the just type make and make install08:50
ethan961kelvin911, the latter two are feontends to apt-get08:50
goobkelvin911 - synaptic is just a GUI front end for apt08:51
kelvin911i found that add/remove is better for me08:51
magnetrond0lphin_n0el: what command does he tell you to do?08:51
kelvin911because there is a description on what the software does08:51

ce_montokm,yhyhtyj uy,08:54
DistroJockeySvenstaro__: hehe :)08:54
goobkelvin911 - dependencies are files that a program needs in order to run properly - when you use an installer it will link these dependencies for you, but different installers (apt-get vs. aptitude for example) will do it differently  - from what i read aptitude is better with this as well as being a lot smoother on the user08:54
DistroJockeySvenstaro__: was a fun year08:54
hyperairif i'm not mistaken apt-get is used by synaptic08:54
hyperairand aptitude doesn't play well with apt-get08:54

Svenstaro__StevenX try sound instead of audio09:01

goobaxmking - if it's not listed in the dropdown - thenyou don't have the driver on your system yet - you are using the open source driver already09:05
hyperairkevin911: unless you run multiple virtual machines (which you can't with that little RAM) you don't need such a humongous swap09:05
kelvin911should i put /home to other partition other than in the parition with ubuntu installed?09:05

goobzero_ - i don't think it'lll be a driver issue - i think you just need to configure the kernel to 'see' the card reader as a removable drive - you would need the port address, which should be the numbers in lspci, but i don't know what config file that you would have to put it in09:36

ani1!defrag | kelvin91109:39
ubotukelvin911: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed.09:39

DistroJockeytodd_: just trying to say that , is different to .09:40
goobzero_ lol neither do i, but i believe that the card reader is just a bus that the system needs to be config'd to recognize09:40
qinjuehan1kelvin911: Not if you are me. I used 200GB already on 300GB. If you really want to defrag, use pyfragtools somewhere in the forums. Ext3 is not perfect, you see. Normally there is no fragmentation, unless you *torrent* or massively fill up your hard disk09:41
kelvin911i download a lot so i am worrying about fragmentation09:41
qinjuehan1kelvin911:torrenting creates fragmentation even in Ext309:41
kelvin911i guess i will BT download to my d:(NTFS)09:41
goobzero_ so in theory, if this is correct, you would just need to add that port address to whatever .conf file maps your ports09:41

kelvin911can u dual boot more than 1 linux?09:49
hobbitboyyes09:50
DistroJockeyArelis: probably removing the hidden . folders in your home folder09:50
Chris|Arelis the closest thing i can think of that is making a new user account, you'd have a fresh desktop but your old settings would still be in your old home dir ex /home/Arelis/ you could copy your files from /home/Arelis/ to your new home... but that is thinking outside of the box09:50
ArelisDistroJockey: that would mean destroying ALL settings09:50
kelvin911will installing other linux make it impossible to boot into ubuntu?09:50
ani1DistroJockey:  Arelis the . folders are what contains pidgin information and preferences etc.09:50
Chris|kelvin911 no09:50
ArelisChris|: good idea.09:50
DistroJockeyArelis: depends which . folders you remove09:50
ArelisDistroJockey: yes but when you delete .gnome/.gnome2/.gconf, for example, you lose ALL gnome settings.09:51

ani1dwm09: sudo apt-get remove <insert packagename here>09:53
Chris|kelvin911 if you install xp, ubuntu, and then linux mint you would have access to all three, even slackware would show you the other os's to boot, but you'd have to configure it to do so i'd beleive09:53

I have a 82547EI Intel network card (e1000 driver). Other computers on the same network does not have this problem and the computer did not have this problem before when it had Windows installed on it. I have goo10:10

todd_sanzanric:you mean that by a command?10:12

Chris|hobbitboy htop is just like top but a bit better and with a h infront of it! :)10:12
kelvin911pc to pc is free10:12
albert__kelvin911: :D10:13
todd_sanzanric:perheps sed would help;!sed10:13
kelvin911but for PC to PC i found that skype is the best10:13
jaffarkelshactalntid, if you cant find a similar one install that one with wine10:13
geirhasanzanric: « sed -i '/foo/d' file1 file2 »  will remove all lines containing the word foo in file1 and file210:13
Chris|kelvin911 there's a few apps for that in linux and skype works in linux10:13
kelvin911but oovoo can support up to 6 people webcam together10:13
albert__kelvin911: yes, but I have a 64bit AMD10:13
albert__kelvin911: it doesn't work10:13
kelvin911Chris|:  yes i use skype10:13
ompaultalntid, apt-cache search network | grep map --- gives a couple of answers --- seems to me you want lanmap10:14
vigneshhow do i upload the openpgp key which i have generated to the keyserver??10:14
sanzanrictodd_: alright, thanks10:14
itai-michaelsoncompwiz18, i see , without the end bits i can open it here as well.10:14
compwiz18itai-michaelson: yep, usually if you get the 404 you're doing good -- timing out is bad =P10:14
itai-michaelsoncompwiz18, however is this post:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=738958 the repo link is with the end bit but apt-get gives me a 404. i will try to chop the end in my sources.list and see10:15
cjsstablesCan a dual boot ubuntu client.. ie XP/Ubuntu have their desktop server up by an ubuntu server.  for instance if the client is XP and user xxx signs in and saves a file to the dsktop, then later signs in on an Ubuntu client will that same file be available on the ubuntu client desktop?10:15
albert__kelvin911: oovoo is not avaible for linux, and the windows edition is shareware too10:16
albert__kelvin911: i could try it with wine10:16
ooo|oooHey People!10:16
ooo|oooIm trying to connect to a wlan access point I bought yesterday.10:17
ooo|oooAny ideas how to do that?10:17
compwiz18itai-michaelson: ah, that's because apt needs the end bits, but when using a browser, you have to chop off the " ./" at the end10:17
geirhacjsstables: not sure how good idea that would be if it was possible, but you can make a shortcut on the ubuntu-desktop, taking you to the files on the windows-desktop10:17
HardyOne!wifi | ooo|ooo10:17
ubotuooo|ooo: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs10:17
ooo|oooI can see the name of the wlan device under networks, but then what do i do?10:17
ooo|oooHardyOne: I know there is a lot of documentation on the net. But is it really that complicated to connect to wlan via ubuntu?10:18
cjsstablesgeirha.Ok.  Can you point me to an instruction set for that10:18
kelvin911windows edition isnt shareware10:18
kelvin911its free10:18
itai-michaelsoncompwiz18, i just learned that....but i still get a 404 with apt. strange10:18
kelvin911u dont need to pay anthing10:18
compwiz18itai-michaelson: that is strange10:18
albert__kelvin911: I will take a second look at it10:18
HardyOneooo|ooo, no it isnt but you do need to go to the link and follow instructions10:18
albert__kelvin911: anyway, thanks10:18
albert__kelvin911: bye10:18
compwiz18itai-michaelson: let me give it a try and see what I get10:18
kelvin911try to install it in windows, it is free10:18
itai-michaelsoncompwiz18, thanks10:19
kelvin911but still the quality in skype is better10:19
itai-michaelsoncompwiz18, i was apt-getting lxde10:19
ooo|oooHardyOne: Common, thats laughable. I have been into computers for many years and *I* dont understand that page. So if you have to be on that level to connect to a wlan - good night.10:19
differentrealityhi... I messed up with grub and tried to fix it using root (hd0,1) and setup(hd0) but now when I boot i get command promt saying grub... how do I boot from my installed linux distro ??10:19
geirhacjsstables: just browse to you windows-home, then drag the Desktop-folder to your ubuntu-desktop using the MIDDLE mouse button. Then it will give you the choice to create a link10:19
Chris|kelvin911 earlier when i said you can use skype in linux, and you said you used skype did you mean you used it in both windows and linux?10:19
Chris|clarifying :)10:19
Abhinandhskype is the best of all uptil now i terms of quality 4 me10:19
kelvin911the only thing oovoo has is it support webcam with a group of 6 people at the same time and PC to phone free (restricted in US and Canada phone only)10:20
hobbitboyi ps aux and check memory, and it seems like theres like 50 meg just being used by nothing10:20
cjsstablesok cool..10:20
kelvin911u need fast internet for oovoo otherise the quality is bad10:20
HardyOneooo|ooo, dont know what to tell you. if you are willing to give up that quick then perhaps you are better off staying with windows10:20
kelvin911yes Skype is the best10:20
compwiz18itai-michaelson: I'm having no problems with it10:20
kelvin911i stop using msn now mainly skype10:20
ooo|oooHardyOne: Staying with windows? I dont have windows.10:21
compwiz18itai-michaelson: if you want to put your /etc/apt/sources.list file on the pastebin I'll take a look at it10:21
kelvin911and skype detect my webcam in ubuntu without installing any driver10:21
itai-michaelsoncompwiz18, thanks - i will try to apt-get update again and see if that helps10:21
cjsstablesgeirha can you point me to a great set of documentation for setting up ubuntu samba/ldap server that includes connecting clients?10:21
kelvin911and pidgin doesnt have webcam support , right ??10:21
Chris|kelvin911 i think it does, not sure10:22
itai-michaelsonoooboo what card do you got?10:22
kelvin911unikon: check my PM10:23
itai-michaelsoncompwiz18, it works now , after apt-get update ....is that strange or what....10:23
compwiz18itai-michaelson: good :)10:23
compwiz18yeah10:23
kelvin911i cant find any webcam option in pidgin or gaim10:23
compwiz18sometimes that happens10:23
geirhacjsstables: I'm afraid I don't have much knowledge on samba and ldap, so I'll have to say: go fish (google)10:24
compwiz18kelvin911: pidgin/gaim don't do webcams10:24
cjsstablesok...10:24
hobbitboywhat programs usually take up the most memory?10:24
Chris|kelvin911 i use amsn for webcam use in msn10:24
itai-michaelsoncompwiz18, thanks for your help anyway....10:24
Chris|hobbitboy firefox10:24
kelvin911maybe i will try amsn later10:24
kelvin911does it pick up the webcam without any trouble?10:25
compwiz18itai-michaelson: no problem10:25
kelvin911i am using logitech quickcam messenger10:25
Chris|kelvin911 it did for me :)10:25
Abhinandhi too use same webcam10:25
Chris|kelvin911 how me too, it picked it up no problem10:25
ompaulkelvin911, try it on a live cd and then come back with specific issues in most cases you will be okay - or better still do a dual boot- or better still kill off windows and make the jump10:25
Abhinandhit works out of the box10:25
hobbitboywell, i guess i should have said "processes".  im not running anything but fluxbox and about 100 meg is being used.  seems like X is taking up ~17, and the next highest one is something called "rox" thats taking up 7.  where is the rest coming from?10:26
clarezoecan anyone tell me where to find the services and applications that are started when computer starts?10:26
Abhinandhclarezoe: services or applications?10:27
Chris|hobbitboy if you install gnome-system-monitor it would tell you specificly in gui in processes tab10:27
kelvin911ompaul: i cant completely kill windows, i play games there10:27
kelvin911like doom3 and etc10:27
hobbitboyChris| im running fluxbox10:27
Chris|hobbitboy doesnt mean you cant install gnome apps in fluxbox though10:28
clarezoeAbhinandh, I mean like mysql, apache are services, compiz, screenlets are application,10:28
hobbitboyi have 4 mb free, what makes you think ill be able to run something else =P10:28

hobbitboytop/ps aux don't show anything that takes more that ~20 meg10:29
waelhello. i have a Toshiba laptop and i wanted to remove Ubuntu from it so i deleted ubuntu partition but now i cant log into Windows because there's a GRUB problem! how can i solve this problem ??10:29
kelvin911will running thru wine be slower than running the game in winxp?10:29
clarezoeAbhinandh, there're so many services and applications that I don't what them to start when computer starts, I wander how to remove them10:29
ompaul!cedega | kelvin91110:29

kelvin911wine or cedega?10:29
compwiz18you can use top to see application ram usage10:29
geirhakelvin911: Odd that you mentioned doom3, doom3 has a native linux client. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Doom310:30
waelitai-michaelson: can i solve this problem with out a windows cd ??10:30
kelvin911i installed doom3 linux10:30
hobbitboycompwiz18: i did but it still only accounted for ~50-60 meg, the other 40 seemed to just disappear10:30
kelvin911but ask for CDkey and i got invalid cdkey10:30
itai-michaelsonwael yes you can do it from a live Ubuntu CD10:30
kelvin911the key works in XP but not in linux10:30
compwiz18hobbitboy: are you taking into acount the cache used by the system10:31
kelvin911how to get around that?  i dont play doom3 online10:31
itai-michaelsonwael,  its not that easy though - let me find the link for you10:31
compwiz18hobbitboy: what does free -m give you10:31
kelvin911so it will be nice if i can run doom3 that is installed already in my C:\10:31
hobbitboyone sec, i did a restart on Chris| 's request10:32

kelvin911there is no case10:32
kelvin911all in caps10:32
zuhaibThis is the errors i see just before my system hanged up10:32
Pie-rateevolution crashes on startup for me, i'd like to delete its config files. Where are they located in my home dir?10:32
DistroJockeykelvin911: and you can't enter a instead of A ?10:32
waelitai-michaelson: ok thx10:33
kelvin911DistroJockey: yes u can only enter Cap letter10:33
itai-michaelsonwael i believe you can download some DOS utilities which you can put on a CD or floppy that will fix your MBR, don't know any personally10:33
DistroJockeykelvin911: k, sorry.10:33
kelvin911how to get around the CDkey issue/10:33
Sinnermanzuhaib: looks like there are problems with your sdb drive... if that's what you're booting from, that might explain it.10:33
stefgzuhaib: Could be a bad harddrive ...10:33
zuhaibIts not what i am booting from10:34
zuhaibUbuntu-server sits on a ATA drive10:34
magnetronkelvin911: we will not help you with pirating software.10:34
stefgzuhaib: Dying harddisks often scramble the whole bus, so even if you are not booting from it, it might prevent the other drives from working correctly10:34
Sinnermanzuhaib: i don't think that's terribly good either: hda: lost interrupt.10:35
Sinnermanzuhaib, stefg he seems to be having problems with sdb and hda both.10:35
zuhaib=|10:35
kelvin911ok10:35
Sinnermanat any rate, i don't think "hda: lost interrupt" is normal.10:36
zuhaibSo what am i looking at, sda and sdb are on a SATA Controller card while the hda is on the onboard ATA on the mobo10:37
utnubudnai!wind | utnubudnai10:37
Chris|hobbitboy i'm going to bed but if you're still having problems and want to use less ram, i'd advise you installing alternative low ram using programs such as instead of firefox, links2 works great with option -g eg: links2 -g www.google.com10:37
stefgzuhaib: i'd look at dmesg for errors, then boot a Desktop-CD, install smartmontools and check if the harddisks are healthy10:37
hobbitboyChris| its completely idle running fluxbox from startup10:37

hobbitboywell, "106"10:38
Sinnermanstefg: i've heard smart isnt infallible, but well, it's better than nothing.10:38
kelvin911how to use wine?10:39
kelvin911i installed wine now10:39
hobbitboygoogle10:39
spoonie_auHi all10:39
kelvin911do i go browse C:\?10:39
compwiz18kelvin911: wine NAME_OF_EXE10:39
stefgSinnerman: smart usually tells you that your drive is dying much too late :-\ but in this case it might give a clue if the drive, the controller or some software are related to the problem10:39
kelvin911and double click any exe file i wanna run?10:39
itai.10:39
compwiz18kelvin911: I think that works too, IIRC10:39
Chris|hobbitboy before i go i can advise one other thing, build your own system, using ubuntu server, install xorg gdm fluxbox etc.. you'll use approximently 50% less ram that way, but doing that might not seem easy if you dont like tinkering with stuff.. i'd only do that if you really want to use less ram though10:39
zuhaibI will check both drives, any way i can do this remote?10:39

kraft__i locked myself out of root10:41
kelvin911do i get the dll hell by running wine?10:41
ompaulkelvin911, what if you go with the flow it is not a replacement it is an alternative and you have to do what I suggest you can copy your saved stuff after the install I guess10:41
compwiz18hobbitboy: what about the +/- buffers line?10:41
kraft__by breaking sudo10:41
[[thufir]]The highest resolution I can select is 800x600, but normally it's higher.  what happened? hardware failure?10:41

compwiz18hobbitboy: for instance, my system is using 986 mb of ram, but it is really using 400MB for disk cache to speed stuff up10:42

zuhaibstefg: troubles really did not start till i installed azureus.. Dont know if it relates but just an FYI10:42
kelvin911what does the wine menu in Application pull down menu does?10:42
stefgzuhaib: any means of booting the system to rescue mode and running openssh server on it, so you have ssh access?10:42
kyle__hi everyone, I've got a quick question about dd_rescue.....anyone free to help?10:42
compwiz18hobbitboy: according to that you're using 75MB of RAM for system, and you have 30 free for more stuff10:42
zuhaibThe system boots fine, i an ssh'ed in righ tnow10:42
ompaulkraft__, ehh there are some things you should never do - that is one of them ;-) guess you need a live cd and mount the disk and add it back10:43
stefgzuhaib: so just sudo apt-get install smartmontools10:43
kraft__ompaul: that link seems to be for using sudo10:43
hobbitboycompwiz18: yikes, how can i tone that down?10:43
hobbitboywiat, 30 more free?10:43

kelvin911can i just run it in wine/10:44
compwiz18hobbitboy: what are you running on there?10:44

compwiz18kraft__: press alt+f2, then type gksudo gedit /etc/hosts to get it in a text editor10:45

hobbitboycompwiz18 basic fluxbuntu install10:47
kyle__ok, simple, using dd_rescue, it rescues to an image file, but the disk to be recovered is larger than the destination partition.....what to do?10:48
stefgzuhaib: it can as well be some acpi or irq issue. what hardware is that?10:48
compwiz18hobbitboy: if you really really want to use less ram, do a server install, then install fluxbox on that10:48
compwiz18hobbitboy: that'll be about as little as you can get10:48

rejeepHi! I wanted to try a library which required ncurses and since I only have a temporary installation I pulled in a bunch of packages that had the name "ncurses" in it (from adept_manager). And then it started to clean out my whole system, program after program. I don't care since it was a test installation. But I wanted to give a headsup!10:49

zuhaibstefg: the SATA controller is an Promise SATA Controller, and the ATA is the onboard mobo which i really need to check (could be VIA as that is the chipset used)10:50
compwiz18hobbitboy: I can get it to use about 30 IIRC with a command line boot10:50
stefgzuhaib: what CPU / chipset?10:50
Abhinandhkevin911:press ctrl+h and all hidden directories will be visible10:50
compwiz18kyle__: you can use just plain dd (I don't know the difference between dd_rescue and dd) and give it a start position and ending position10:50
[[thufir]]stefg: ok, thanks.  I'm working on figuring out why my resolution dropped, here's the xorg I'm going through:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61583/10:50

compwiz18kyle__: but you won't be able to read any of the data off said partition unless you take the whole thing10:51
kyle__compwiz18: but the position...I'm assuming that's a physical position on the hard drive - I don't know where the bad sectors are10:51

Prometheusmaek: i can try, but i have a radeon 9800 which worked fine under feisty10:59
compwiz18kyle__: nope, but there probably is one...10:59
maekEnvy installed my ATI drivers no problem (the quality of ATI drivers are another matter)10:59

zuhaibstefg: yeah, i dont know if its really the HD or something to do with azureus.  I know it sounds nuts, but the system was rock solid up till i gave azureus cli a try.  I am thinking it might have to do something with the way azureus was doing the hash checking as i moved my torrents over *or* disk cache10:59
kyle__Anyone else got any experience using dd_rescue??11:00
maekhttp://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html11:00
zuhaibstefg: I am moving from rtorrent to azureus because rtorrent does not allow me to stream files from my box to my PC without a major performance hit11:00
itairainx79: probably compizconfig-settings-manager11:00
itaiinstall that11:00
stefgzuhaib: i don't think azureus can directly affect hardware. it might just reveal a problem which was ther before. IIRC the Via KT266 had some bugs, you might want to google for that11:00
rainx79yes I just did itai thanks a bunch though11:01
maekPrometheus, make sure you are on generic drivers before you install your drivers11:01
zuhaibyeah, i always thought the "A" version fixed most of them.. But i will look in to it more11:01
itairainx79: no problem.....11:01
stefgzuhaib: so you are looking at a kernel or hardware related problem11:02
Prometheusthanks maek. i'll try that11:02
zuhaibstefg: ok so that is my focus, and yeah i will try the system with the Kernel options you mentioned11:02
[[thufir]]stefg: that was very weird and scary, but those directions worked :)     what happened?  very odd.11:02

kelvin911i am installing Maple10 thru wine i think i am stuck11:06
kjalilmaek: when I try to use my touchpad and all the windows are minimized, and I'm on the desktop. If I scroll vertically on the touchpad, the virtual screens switch, from one to the other11:07
kjalilmaek: there must be a setting to turn off somewhere11:07
kjalilmaek: i don't want to turn off vertical scrolling in firefox, though.11:07
maekI think you have to disable a plugin in Compiz kjalil11:08
kjalilmaek: ah, i think you are right. where is the compiz config thingy?11:08
kelvin911what if i am stuck during installing in windows app in wine?11:08
rainx79How Do I add more desktops on ubuntu right now I only have two11:08
maekkjalil, hang on I will find out the name of the plugin11:08
stefgzuhaib: and BTW, i'd check if the hd controller card sits tightly in its slot. maybe it's just a loose contact, or corrosion on one of the pins11:09
maekkjalil, open Compiz configuration manager (or something like that)11:09

kelvin911the software is Maple 1011:22
ompaulkelvin911, #winehq for support with wine issues11:22
kelvin911i think it uses JAVA maybe that s why11:22
IndyGunFreakkelvin911: no, thats not why, force quit would still kill it11:22
Pelokelvin911, what was the app ?11:22
talntidwrksend me a copy of it, i'll get it working :)11:22
pajamiankelvin911: that's fine, you just have to install java in the wine instance, then.  But if you can figure it out it's sometimes better to run the program in the native Linux java.11:23
rainx79So, Maybe someone can answer this question. Do any of you have an idea on how I would go about getting my videos from Veoh.com11:23
kelvin911Maple 1011:23
IndyGunFreakrainx79: they work fine for me.... do you have flash installed?11:23
Dr_willisrainx79,  a lot of the veoh videos are flash based. and can be downloaded with varioys firefox extebnsions11:23
kelvin911it's about 150 MB11:23
Pelorainx79, what format does veohcom usualy put out ?11:23
IdleOnerainx79 download them?11:23
kelvin911how to send to u?11:23
Dr_willisveoh also their own custome player (windows only) not sure what format those are in. It can download the videos also.(some of them at least)11:24
rainx79well some videos won't play the full length video and to be able to do that you need to download it with the veoh player which is for windows only11:24
novato_brdoes anyone know how to remove super glue from glass?11:24
pajamianrainx79: look into wine, then.11:24
IdleOnenovato_br hot water11:24

rainx79I guess that will have to do then11:25
Dr_willisrainx79, yep. those are like ads for getting you to use the full pplayer. wine has issues with the veoh player i hear.11:25
pajamiannovato_br: nail polish remover.11:25
Pelonovato_br, razor blade or acetone11:25

rainx79thanks anyways for the information11:25
Pelokelvin911, if noone is helping you in winehq atm,  be patient, , come back later, or restate your issue periodicaly11:26
kelvin911dont know how to restart X11:26
pajamiankelvin911: cool, btw, if it really is a java program you may be able to run it with the Linux version JVM which would be better than running under wine.11:26
novato_bris it possible to running compiz with Nvidia TNT2 video card ?11:26

|ismael|i have an account from voipbuster,i would like call to my country with some program12:15
krautLjL: are you there?12:15
kelvin911whats the different if u compile it or install in thru add/remove?12:15
bartmonBut usually the recipe goes like this: "./configure", "make", "sudo make install"12:16
kelvin911and why people need to compile linux kernel?12:16
al_qaidacitizens under negating technologies for life and people's safety!12:16

Slart|ismael|: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52905112:16
IdleOnekelvin911 most people never need to compile they're own kernel12:17
bartmonkelvin911: Well with the add/remove method you can uninstall and upgrade it easily. If you install a program manually you have to update, compile and uninstall manually because the system doesn't know of the installed program.12:17
|ismael|ok thank you and sorry for my english12:17
dumb4midihow can i connect a midi keyboard through my soundcard? i dont get it working12:17
kelvin911then why compile it yourself?12:18
kelvin911for fun?12:18
bartmonkelvin911: The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux distribution, including Ubuntu. Some peole like to tweak it a bit and to make it runnable they have to recompile it after tweaking.12:18
snamadumb4midi you just connect it with gameport midi adapter12:18
dumb4midii have12:18
IdleOnekelvin911 you can compile yourself if you need/want the most up to date software but that is not always a good idea so it is best to stick with the pre-packaged apps in the repositories12:18
snamaif you have a joystickport12:18
dumb4midibut i doesnt work12:18

erUSUL!yay | Lupe514:50
Jack_SparrowCJS3141, A quick read shows that they are using a version of wine 8 versions ahead of what you are using..14:50
ubotuLupe5: Glad you made it! :-)14:50
barslowwhat a pain14:50
LjLbarslow: not the mainstream kind, but if you do stupid things, yes you can get spied upon14:50
LjL!hardy | barslow, not surprising14:50
ubotubarslow, not surprising: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu14:50
kelvin911jrib: what does this do: ln -s /opt/maple9/bin/xmaple /usr/local/bin/xmaple ?14:50
nox-HandLupe5: Congratulations! barslow >> #ubuntu+1 for help, but do not EXPECT it, as it's NOT SUPPORTED :)14:50

barslowi already removed and re-installed Gutsy14:50
barslowit was a real pain14:50
terminhellech14:51
CJS3141jack_sparrow: it says in the script it is for 0.9.48... am I missing something?14:51
nox-HandNow you know what Beta means barslow14:51
Jack_SparrowCJS3141, If you ask in winehq, they will probably tell you to install the latest version of wine before you try to install ie614:51
nox-Hand:)14:51
Lupe5no, no. I dont need help, im here to help. I've had a lot of experince with 7.10, so i can help here too.14:51
barslowbut now I have mouse issues in gutsy14:51
robotjoxI'm having a real hard time using dual screens with ubuntu. The secondary screen is much too bright14:51
barslowi don't know why but my mouse is super jumpy14:51
Jack_SparrowCJS3141, look at the first link you gave me.14:51
Toznoshioeternal_fizzer: do it the old-fashioned way14:51
jribkelvin911: just lets you run xmaple by typing 'xmaple' and pressing enter in a terminal.  It assumes you installed maple to /opt/maple9 of course14:51
Lupe5but thanks for that channel! I might go there for help.14:51
terminhellbarslow: make sure your acceleration settings are correct14:52
robotjoxwhen I click nvidia-settings the screen turns the right brightness for a second and then goes back too being much too bright14:52
CJS3141jack_sparrow: OK, I have 0.9.48 installed because that's the current one in Synaptic. Should I upgrade manually to the newer one?14:52
eternal_fizzerToznoshio: like find the directory and delete it? I think that may be why I was in trouble in first place after trying the old-fashioned way with java last week :(14:52
kelvin911jrib: my /opt/maple is empty14:52
barslowterminhell: what are the optimal accelaration settings?14:52
kelvin911jrib: should i delete it?14:52
terminhellbarslow: ones that dont make your mouse jumpy...just lower them14:53
jribkelvin911: because you installed it to your HOME remember?  Sure you can delete it since you did not use it14:53
Jack_SparrowCJS3141, I personally wont use or recommend wine...  someone else should be able to help you...  the best help is in winehq.. even if it is a bit slow14:53
kelvin911jrib: what about opt directory?14:53
eternal_fizzerToznoshio: is it only one folder for sure?14:53
barslowterminhell: I've tried tons of different settings, nothing seems to work correctly14:53
Lupe5robotjox: Can you change the brightness on your monitor.....14:53
jribkelvin911: you can leave it, you might want to use it for some other thing you install later14:53
kelvin911jrib: what is /opt/?14:54

kelvin911jrib: why didnt i install maple in /usr/local/bin/ ??14:55
eternal_fizzerubotu - thx but no browser, so can't go there14:55
jribCJS3141: I would use vim and do ":set list".  I don't know of a better way14:55
terminhellauroch: have you tried from terminal "sudo apt-get install irssi" ?14:56
jribkelvin911: because you chose to install it to your HOME, there's nothing wrong with that14:56
robotjoxLupe5: yeah, but that's not the problem - I can change the brightness alright, but this is some sort of nvidia-related problem I think - it's more a case of the alpha channel being set all wrong and whenever I reboot the problem comes again14:56
Lupe5eternal_fizzer: use firefox14:56
kelvin911jrib: why install in somewhere else then make link to /usr/local/bin?14:56
eternal_fizzerLupe5: I'd love too - that's what I'm trying to fix!14:56
jribkelvin911: because you don't need to be root to install to your HOME14:56
Lupe5robotjox: I dont know anything about Nivada14:56
gilster32terminhell: should roaming be turned off?14:57
Aurochterminhell: That and a few other things but I don't think apt-get is working. "Couldn't find package.. etc."14:57
eternal_fizzerToznoshio: is there someother gadget I can use to transmit that info to you? since I don't have a browser, I'm stuck14:58
Lupe5eternal_fizzer: go to the applcation menu, choose add/remove programs, in the search box type "Konqueror" and install it. That's the KDE web browser, but it will work.14:58
terminhellAuroch: make sure the other repositories are enabled and reload.14:58

FancyLIndyGunFreak: thanks. I'm brand new to linux as a whole and would like to know the main difference between the different editions (kubuntu, xubuntu, and ubuntu). gobuntu said it in plain english on their front page, and I can assume what edubuntu is.16:35
nonewmsgshacked``: dvb?16:35
azexiangenii: this is the video, not the audio, is that what you meant still?16:35
IndyGunFreakFancyL: main difference, in all of them, is the GUI they use.16:36
zackyramonehi guys, i got a problem: i have an mp3 which i use as a flash disk, but after having ubuntu reinstalled nautilus says that it is read-only.16:36
astro76azexian: you can't compare bitrates of different codecs, the dvd uses mpeg2, your avi is probably xvid/divx16:36
d_rwinhi16:36
reaktaezackyramone: chmod?16:36
FancyLIndyGunFreak: is one version lighter than another? I'm looking to install on an old laptop.16:36
astro76azexian: so as typical with video encoding, you'll have to experiment16:36
nonewmsgsFancyL: xubuntu, kubuntu and ubuntu use different guis gobuntu only uses fully free (no mp3s or dvd) stuff edubuntu comes with educational software16:37
IndyGunFreakFancyL: they'lll al do pretty much the same thing, its how they look while doin it, Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE, and Xubuntu uses Xfce.16:37
zackyramonereaktae: how do i use that?16:37
IndyGunFreakFancyL: whast the sysstem specs on it?16:37
azexianastro76: so I can't just leave it on the original bitrate, it has to be changed?16:37
nonewmsgsFancyL: if you dont know what windows manager you can install al of them with apt-get install (normal installation method) once you install any16:37
FancyLIndyGunFreak: not sure, but it's running win9816:37
naelzackyramone, try right clicking the disk and go to properties and edit the permissions16:37
reaktaezackyramone: as in user priviledges.. are you familiar with sudo commands?16:37
IndyGunFreakFancyL: well, a good place to start, is to know how much ram it is.16:37
FancyLIndyGunFreak: I think 12816:37
zackyramonereaktae: no not really...16:38
IndyGunFreakFancyL: ok, w/ 128mb, you'll probably want to use Xubuntu.16:38
astro76azexian: 5000 sounds like a reasonable bitrate for a dvd... but you can make it higher if it will still fit on the dvd16:38
nonewmsgsFancyL: i would look towards damn small linux16:38
IndyGunFreakFancyL: you might even consider a straight debian install...16:38
FancyLIndyGunFreak: will xubuntu run smoothly? or is D.S.L. more up my alley?16:38
azexianastro76: I'm a little low on space at the moments, it's only an avi, shouldn't 2500 be suitable, considering it was 900 originaly?16:38
IndyGunFreaknonewmsgs: ?... DSL?  128m,b will definitely run numerous "larger" distros.16:38
IndyGunFreakFancyL: i think Xubuntu will run fine.16:39
astro76azexian: as I said, it's apples and oranges16:39
IndyGunFreakFancyL: its system requirements only call for 64mb if I recall.16:39
astro76azexian: that's the encoded bitrate16:39
FancyLIndyGunFreak: straight debian sounds a lot more complicated than a live cd16:39
reaktaezackyramone: just try the right click then. go to properties and then permisions.... what sys are you on?16:39
azexianastro76: hmm... ok, I guess you're right, I will have to experiment, thanks =)16:39
naelFancyL, I got DSL working on 32mb16:39
davmonsterI like openbox16:39
zackyramonereaktae: that wont work....im on ubuntu 7.1016:40
IndyGunFreakFancyL: no, not at all.. i mean its a text based installer.. but w/ only 128mb of Ram, you may have to use a text based installer anyways, even w/ ubuntu16:40
W8TAHwhats the channel for compiz/beryl on ubuntu?16:40

IndyGunFreakd_rwin: you could do that..16:40
reaktaezackyramone: did you try as a superuser?16:40
zackyramonereaktae: no16:40
IndyGunFreakd_rwin: then you simply log out, click sessons, choose xfce, and log back in16:41
d_rwinIndygunFreak: yes,but i dont see mich change16:41
FancyLIndyGunFreak: I'll try xubuntu. Thanks for your quick help.16:41
reaktaezackyramone: press alt+f2 and type in gksudo nautilus /media/16:41
IndyGunFreakd_rwin: you're probably still running mostly gnome programs16:41
reaktaezackyramone: there you should have a folder corresponding to the drive and try the right-click again...16:41

nonewmsgsi think zambezi means ext3 reserves space and drives use 1000mb gbs16:47
Zambezijpatrick: Yes. 500 GB is too little, 1000 GB too expensive. ;-) 750 GB is my choice. Like 320 GB is 296 GB.16:47
ZambeziOr 294 GB.16:48

nonewmsgszackyramone: in the cli type mount and give the output for disk16:50
nonewmsgspsynophile: it will upgrade automatically16:50

Torturedjester7, i dont notice a difference, aside from having to have all the kde libs installed to run the apps, so some hd space17:50
amenadogeekphreak-> i stepped out for a while,  you have the /home mounted? the /Documents  you were referring to is not under /home,  if / was formatted during your install, then /Documents will not exist anymore17:51
unopStroganoff, you need to do it offline, not while the kernel is loaded, because the kernel needs the directories you are deleting, think about it17:51

xtknightNith, keep in mind this command may delete the insides of complete directories that match asdf as well.  so as is with every script i'd backup the files beforehand.  execute this in the root dir where you want to begin recursion.  "find * | grep asdf | xargs -l1 rm"18:10

ubotuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo18:10

Zn3t060iositd: so in live cd as root: i use the chroot command18:26
luxhello? is anyone helping me? :D18:27
unopZn3t060, yes, but you need to ensure all your filesystems are mounted properly before using the chroot command18:27
amenadolux hard disk memory, minimum for install is 2.5 gig18:27

unopZn3t060, the shadow and passwd files you see in the liveCD are not the ones that belong to your system -- you need to chroot first before you see them18:29
iositdZn3t060, what was the last command you typed?18:29
Zn3t060so im in the live cd right18:29
Zn3t060iositd: the last one is su18:30
Zn3t060iositd: to get my self into the root18:30
amenadofunkster1-> try logging out and restarting firefox?18:30
funkster1amenado: did thta already, but will try again18:30
iositdZn3t060, you don't have to become root. CHROOT means you enter a new env, the one that you just mounted. For example in my case i'd type "chroot /media/sda5 /bin/bash" to get into my real env instead of the live cd.18:30
unopiositd, you need to be root to chroot18:31
iositdunop, ubuntu way --> use sudo18:31
franciscohtt18:31
unopiositd, and sudo gives you root ..18:31
luxnonix4, i wrote  gksudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf it opened some kind a window...what now?18:32
iositdunop, he used su to go root, instead of sudo to use root18:32
unopiositd, it doesnt make a real difference18:32
Zn3t060iositd: ok so ill do that , so my mount point is .. /mount/disk...so will i do ..chroot18:32
techqbertok so I have restarted X like 12 times in the last 24 hours.  how do I stop X from restarting when I hit any of the combination of keys, (shift+backspace) (alt+shift+backspace)?18:32
iositdunop, reason i'm telling that now, is because he'll have to remove the root passwd so in the future he can just use recovery mode ... and18:32
iositd* - and18:33
unopZn3t060, it depends on how many partitions you have on the hdd? you have to have atleast /etc/ mounted right18:33

Jack_Sparrowtechqbert, not enough info... when did the problem start, have you installed/compiled much from source or outside repos etc18:33
Zn3t060unop: which is my installed os18:33
unopZn3t060, how many partitions did you setup when installing ubuntu?18:33
IjessIhello. Can I choose where to install the bootloader during the install using the live-cd iso?18:33
IjessIor do I need to use the alternate iso?18:34
unopZn3t060, if you only had that one partition .. you can just do. chroot /media/disk18:34
amenadoljessl yes you can use liveCd18:34
Jack_SparrowIjessI, it lets you choose18:34
techqbertJack_Sparrow: 8.04 beta installed by repos.  The update broke my gnome-settings-manager so I installed fluxbox.  Everything works swell except I close X like every 2 hours18:34

techqbertJack_Sparrow: do you want me to comment on #ubuntu-devel?18:35
Jack_Sparrowlux, the amount of space you have on your hard drive for ubuntu is marginal at est..18:35
nonix4lux: well the next step is somehow figuring out which of them maps to ulimit -v ...18:35
IjessIJack_Sparrow, so it want destroy my mbr or the grub I already have?18:35
unopZn3t060, if that command worked ok, you should just do -- passwd <user>18:35
unopZn3t060, replacing <user> with the user whose password you need to change18:35
Jack_Sparrowtechqbert, just pointing you to the correct room for hardy...18:36

unopZn3t060, you should also do this - passwd -l root18:36

Daisuke_IdoJBuckley, you can use wine, however it's best to find native software to reduce the dependency on windows.18:36
amenadojhonijim-> mount the partition read+write18:36
unopZn3t060, that disables root, so that in future sessions you dont have a problem stepping into recovery mode18:37

luxso lets start at the beginning.......18:50
JustJadenI am attempting to delete a swap file, but it tells me I don't have the proper permissions. How do I fix this?18:50
Jowizelrikriando, 945GM and 3d in wine is a hit and miss when running compiz. Probably has something to do with its shared memory. And you should run in 24bit colours instead of 16bit.18:50
Daisuke_Idocompiz + opengl games != happiness18:50
amenadoJustJaden-> are you currently using such swap file?18:51
Jack_SparrowJustJaden, are you turning swapoff   first?18:51
zelrikriandoJowi: how to set those colors?18:51
luxwho could tell me how to fix my ubuntu .......?18:51
Daisuke_Idoi definitely recommend turning OFF desktop effects before playing gl games in wine or otherwise18:51
lux:unop could u help?18:52
ffmIf I answer a "incomplete" bug with more info in LP, can I move it back to "new"?18:52
JustJadenI was trying to blacklist my wireless card driver, and for some odd reason, i have like 3 copies of the same edit file. Not sure how I managed that, but I'd like to get rid of copies.18:52
Jowizelrikriando, Max Payne works for me but not Half Life for example. Turning off Compiz solves it for me. You set "DefaultDepth 24" in xorg.conf but maybe there18:52
Jowi's an easier way.18:52
Zn3t060anyway i have tried the suggested and it didnt work as it said i didnt have permissions when i went to try the chroot command18:52
unoplux, nonix4 seemed to have guided you through most this, he probably knows exactly what to do next .. ask him18:52
unopZn3t060, you need to be root when you chroot -- use the command -- sudo chroot /media/disk18:53
luxunop how to do that red text?18:53
Jack_Sparrownonix4, See how much free space he has on that drive and how big of a swap he has on there.18:53
zelrikriandoJowi: my DefaultDepth is already at 2418:53
unoplux, what red text?18:53
Zn3t060unop: i was root18:53
TuM4hi to all18:53
Zn3t060i changed to root using the su command18:53
JustJadenI was trying to blacklist my wireless card driver, and for some odd reason, i have like 3 copies of the same edit file. Not sure how I managed that, but I'd like to get rid of copies.18:54
unopZn3t060, was your partition really mounted under /media/disk ???18:54
Zn3t060yes, i doubled checked18:54
bendelehttp://irc.dslextreme.com/18:54
Jowizelrikriando, then there's not really a solution to be had for you (yet). Wine is constantly improving though and so is Compiz.18:54
amenadoZn3t060-> are you ready to try my way?18:54
luxif anyone writing like example " lux, text..." then i see it red? right?18:54
Zn3t060amenado: sure am18:54
amenadoZn3t060-> okay again boot from liveCD18:54
zelrikriandoJowi: you want to look at my xorg.conf ...in case you see something wrong?18:54

Jowizelrikriando, if you're running compiz it's ok.18:55

zelrikriandoeh how to change the resolution19:06

mynymlis there a way to get the alt key to work in gnome-terminal?19:06
unopazuki, i usually use 512k from CDs ..19:06
ompaullux, please keep it family friendly, it is not a replacement for other things just an alternative19:06
bod_hey guys, whats the command to find out the temperature of the machine?19:06
ompaul!resolution | zelrikriando19:06
mmm4m5mQUESTION: what ctrl+z means when I click inside terminal? Previous process become "stopped". How can I kill it?19:06
ubotuzelrikriando: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto19:06
marx2kDoes anyone know how to forward an X session via SSH?19:06
nonix4lux: does console login work (ctrl-alt-f2)?19:06
bosanacJowi: please tell me what to do now?19:06
bosanacJowi: how to delete that?19:06
bosanaca19:06
Jowibosanac, so run ps -A and look for any apps that you don't recognise19:06
hischildmarx2k: you have to enable it in the ssh settings and then connect using ssh -X <host>19:07
marx2kmmm4m5m, ctrl-z sends the current command to the background. You can get back to it by typing 'fg'19:07
nonix4lux: (use alt-f7 once there to get back to x)19:07
unopmarx2k, ssh -X user@othermachine19:07
Jack_Sparrowzelrikriando, remove lines 108 and 109 and add the res you know your monitor can support on line 11819:07
zichohow can i mount an iso so that my computer recognizes it as a DVD?19:07
ompaul!lmsensors | bod_19:07
ubotubod_: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto19:07
mynymlmmm4m5m: ctrl-C kills it19:07
marx2khischild: does that forward the current running X session (with all open apps on it) or does it open up a new session?19:07
sjovanSerway: trailfocus <--- have you even looked at the compiz mannager?19:07
sjovanSerway: the picture of that setting says it all19:07
Jowizicho, for CD isos you can use "sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop name.iso /mountpoint/here"19:07
bod_ompaul,  cheers m8 ;~)19:08
hischildmarx2k: it allows you to use GUI apps on command line. It does not forward currently open apps.19:08
zichoJowi, okay. I will try!19:08
hischildmarx2k: for that i suggest you take a look at vnc via ssh tunnels.19:08
marx2khischild: Ah. What I wanted was to control my upstairs box's X session from my downstairs laptop19:08
azuki:: -> I could use /media/cdrom0 ?19:08
Serwaysjovan, wow i have never looked there, and i have used compiz since 2005-619:08
marx2kvnc via ssh tunnels. Got it. Will google. Thanks :)19:08
unopmarx2k, you could also look into using XDMCP .. it might allow you to connect to existing sessions19:08
patrick__hey i just downloaded this game "assaultcube" to my desktop.... here is the link... http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=actiongame&filename=AssaultCube_v0.93.tar.bz2&use_mirror=switch .............what do i do after its on my desktop in order to install?19:08
azukiit gives me 0+0 recs in / out 0 bytes copied19:08
marx2kunop? Thanks!19:09
azukiat a splashing 0.0 kb/s!19:09
sjovanSerway: okay....19:09
Jowimarx2k, x11vnc can export the current session19:09
Jowi!info x11vnc19:09
mmm4m5mmarx2k: perfect, fg fix it. 10x (many times I do this mistake and then only restart help :)). I also think it is "send to background", but why process status is "stopped"? I can't use it, I can't terminate it.19:09
unopazuki, well, was /media/cdrom mounted, is there a CD in the tray?19:09
azukiunop: yes19:09
zichoJowi, that doesnt make it work as a physical DVD. How can i do that?19:10
YosemiteSamhow do i find the firewall in ubuntu ?19:10
unopazuki, do you get anything when you  ls /media/cdrom ?19:10
ompaul!firewall | YosemiteSam19:10
ubotuYosemiteSam: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).19:10
Serwaysjovan, it seems whatever i change the settings to, it still stays a tad transparent, (im talking about the toolbar)19:10
azukiunop: yes..19:10
azukiunop: the usual files19:10
bod_ompaul, acpi -V is the one i was looking for, it cme back as 49.0 degrees,. erm,. is that ood or bad??19:11
Jowizicho, what's the difference between a mounted DVD and a mounted .iso file?19:11
bod_ood=good19:11
unopazuki, actually, your /media/cdrom might not be the mount point for /dev/cdrom .. find out what device was mounted under /media/cdrom using. mount19:11
mmm4m5mmarx2k: instead "gedit&", I run "gedit". So, I have 10 open/changed files. How can I send it to background and use both: terminal window and gedit?19:11
zichoJowi, but where should i mount it to make my computer think its a DVD disc?19:11
hischildbod_: considering i run at 65 +- 3, you're good19:11
azukiunop: found the problem... it worked well..19:11
azukiunop: thank man!!!19:11
unopazuki, what was the problem?19:11
ompaulbod_, the words hardware dependent please look at your bios for guides ;-)19:11
bod_hischild, ok cheers ;~) ompaul,. ty19:12
JustJadenhow do I quit and not save out of an edit file?19:12
azukiunop: I had a different dos-boot CD in there (tweaking purposes) so when I DD'd it.. it was super fast!!.. :)19:12
azukiwas only one floppy worth of data19:12
hischildbod_: yw19:12
Jowizicho, there are no rules. mount it wherever you want and tell the application you use to use the mount point you created instead of the default one in /media19:12
unopazuki, ok cool19:12
bod_;~)19:12
patrick__i have just downloaded assaultcube to my desktop...how do i install the game itself? extract it or what?19:12
zichoJowi, okay19:12
hischildpatrick__: depends on the format. If you can extract, then do so. It will probably contain a readme file. Read that first.19:13
azukiunop: woops..19:13
azuki... it's not19:13
unopmmm4m5m, type gedit and press CTRL+Z (at the terminal) to suspend gedit and return to the shell, press 'bg' and gedit is resumed (in the background)19:14
JustJadenwhat is the command to quit an edit file?19:14
azukiunop: it's creating a very small iso file on the desktop..19:14
=== coldboot|home is now known as coldboot
azukiunop: but it's definatly not the CD19:15
Jowizicho, as an example: I mount an CD/ISO for a win game in ~/winecdrom and set up winecfg to use that dir as a cdrom. now wine will see it and use it as a cdrom. How you set this up depends on the app you use. If it seems impossible you can always burn the image to disc and use it the normal way.19:15
patrick__hischild i've just extracted, the read me file says "linux users: make sure you have libSDL 1.2, libSDL_image and libSDl_mixer installed" im running gutsty so how do i check that?19:15
azukiunop: I am pretty sure that /cdrom0 is the mount point19:15
unopazuki, make sure you are using the right device in if --19:15
unopazuki, what is the device that /cdrom0 has mounted?19:15
zelrikriandook I made some progres19:16
azukiunop: cd-rw drive19:16
zelrikriandothe window doesnt crash anymore...but is kinda empty19:16
azukiand it has a CD inside19:16
hischildpatrick__: search for those using aptitude ... (use lowercase when searching) ===> aptitude search <packagename>19:16
azukithere is also a link (/media/cdrom)19:16
mmm4m5munop: perfect, thank a lot. I study it at school long time back. How could I read more about these? "man bg" does not help. Maybe it is bash related? Have to read more about bash?19:16
hischildpatrick__: if they are installed, the first letter will be an i.19:16
unopazuki, no, i mean device under /dev .. /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrom0,  -- find out with mount19:16
unopmmm4m5m, bg is a bash keyword -- you need 'help bg' not 'man bg'19:17
azukiscd019:17
mmm4m5munop: thank you very much, all the best19:17

sulemahello loves19:49
destructarArmada651: can't load that page for some reason... so anyway, i guess the answer to your question is no19:49

OasysI have a noob question, what programing language would I have to learn to edit the ubuntu code?19:54
AdysOasys: c/c++, mostly19:54
dxdtOasys: well, lots.  It is more than just one language, I would say look into Python + GTK and Mono + GTK19:54
simplexioOasys: define ubuntu code ?19:54
Klesokay19:54
Kleswell, is there any way I could update the synaptic package manager to include certain things?19:55
Oasyssimplexio: the operating system19:55
mad_max02he wants to hack ubuntu code and find Morfius19:55
mad_max02hes the new NEO19:55
brianI am neo19:55
kplaxmasterOasys: Ubuntu is just a compilation of C/C++/C# code. Ubuntu then adds mostly shell programming like python to add extra features and more accessible.19:55
mad_max02lol19:55
dxdtOasys: still unclear lol.  Your desktop apps can be written in Python, Mono, etc.  While the kernel is written in C.  Deskbar is written in mono for example.  So is F-Spot  ( I think)19:56
Oasyskplaxmaster: Thanks.19:56
simplexioOasys: there is no ubuntu operating system, there is ubuntu the linux distro19:56
Seveaskplaxmaster, that's quite a bit of nonsense there19:56
LjLuhm, which  *is* an operating system19:56
kplaxmasterSeveas: how so??19:56
simplexiothat is intresting question LjL19:56
luxnonix4 okei i try ctrl,alt,f2 again and then f7 ?19:57
brianOS is a kernel and programs19:57
Seveaskplaxmaster, because there's not a single thing true about that statement19:57
brianUbuntu is the desktop programs19:57
briankernel is linux19:57
LjLsimplexio: the definition off operating system has been argued long and large, but at least in an informal setting, it's definitely fine to call ubuntu an OS19:57
Seveasdxdt, mono is a vm, not a language, deskbar is written in C#19:57
DRebellionkernel=linux, os=gnu19:57
schultzaAlso my nxclient keeps timing out.19:57
schultzaEspecially, when I leave the window.19:57
kplaxmasterSeveas: Ubuntu doesn't make its own programs besides shell programming and maybe Ubufox which again, is a simple plugin lol. they don't create 99% of the applications, they just configure them to work well19:57
simplexioLjL: no19:57
brianIs it not a good idea to just jump into learning c?19:58
Seveaskplaxmaster, again nonsense :)19:58
OasysI mean what language would I need to learn to add on the Ubuntu for personal use?19:58
dxdtSeveas: I suppose, that is a better way of putting it, but it is slightly different C# as it isn't truly C# yet so I tend to label it by the VM's name, though I see your point19:58
DRebellionbrian, that's what i did. its great.19:58

Arky44I am having trouble connecting to a wireless network on my ubuntu-enabled laptop, but am able to connect through a local ethernet port. Any ideas?20:24

evilzmurfHow to install Wine? I dont really understand what all these thing means. Like "21:12
evilzmurfUbuntu Linux Wine for Ubuntu, Debian, and Debian-based distributions Debian Linux21:12
evilzmurfDebian and Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu, utilize a special tool for managing packages known as APT. APT is able to automagically install all of the needed dependencies for a software package, as well as keep the package up to date, by scanning what are known as APT repositories. Debian-based distributions have their own repositories of software, many of which include Wine, however we keep our own repository of the latest available packages21:12
evilzmurf here for download.21:12
evilzmurfThere used to be graphical instructions here, however we have found that the terminal commands are actually simpler to describe and quicker for the user to input. Because the commands below use sudo, you may have to enter your user password after hitting enter.21:12
heydabopSimplexio, I havn't saved a log since I resized the NTFS partition, but the results are very similer.21:12
FloodBot3evilzmurf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.21:12
evilzmurfAdding the WineHQ APT Repository:21:12
simplexioheydabop: i hope so .. bad sectors21:12
evilzmurfFirst, open a terminal window. Then add the repository's key to your system's list of trusted APT keys by copy and pasting the following:21:12
Flannelsilent: Check out AptOnCD21:12
Slartevilzmurf: don't spam the channel21:12
Slartevilzmurf: !pastebin or give us the url21:12
heydabopSimplexio, yea, I noticed. When I ran SeaTools it repaired 5. Now it doesn't say there are any errors.21:12

javatexananyone got bluray reading and writing working under ubuntu....I am trying to find a compatability list...but no luck23:19
unocrashJustJaden: Ubuntu 7.1023:19
JohnesI have already installed23:19

DragonLotusJack_Sparrow: ahh =) fglrxinfo isn't installed.  I downloaded the ati proprietary driver.23:19
djjdhmm does not work23:20
JustJadenunocrash: great, I'll download it now. Does it matter if I get the 64bit AMD version or not. I do have an AMD64, but does it really make a difference?23:20
javatexani saw where nero linux will do it, but they didnt show a compat list either...23:20
Tatsterroot is actually on a volume group - I have an option for /dev/vg1/lvroot which represents a logical volume for root partition if you like23:20
unocrashJustJaden: Idk23:20
Swiss73I have tried usiong repair on my xp disk to do fixboot, bootxfg, and fixmbr23:20
DragonLotusJack_Sparrow: I ran the driver and built the .deb packages and restarted.  I'm not sure if I had to do dpkg -i on each package myself or what...23:20
soundrayJustJaden: Hardy is beta at the moment, so you might have some glitches, which are harder to deal with when you're inexperienced23:20
TatsterI'm guessing this should be the one to choose ?23:20
unocrashI went with x86, even though my system is 64-bit conpatible23:20
JustJadensoundray: ha! understatement. I love this experience though. So glad to be done with Windows.23:20
soundrayJustJaden: amd64 is faster for numbercrunching/video encoding23:21
unocrashdjjd: you have to hold it23:21
Swiss73When trying to boot off of the xp hard drive i get ntldr missing23:21

Positronichow much fast, soundray?23:21
Positronic*faster23:21
Positroniclike, is it noticeably faster?23:21
soundrayJustJaden: amd64 also allows you to use more RAM23:21
Jack_SparrowDragonLotus, sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx xserver-xgl    is where I would start. but some of those ati are a pain.. the 9800 is no exception23:21
eth01Positronic: that can depend on which particular model/version you're running.23:21

unocrashdjjd: to turn on the rain effect, hit shift+F9.23:21
Positronicprocessor or distro?23:21
eth01proc.23:21
soundrayPositronic: it's noticeably faster with some 3D image processing software I use.23:21

unocrashdjjd: idk23:22
hexonJack_Sparrow: how do I do that?23:22
unocrashyou have to set it.23:22
Positronicisn't there a way to address more RAM than the 32-bit version of ubuntu allows in the 32-bit version?23:23
soundrayJustJaden: if you have or plan to upgrade to 4GB+, go with amd64.23:23
unocrashdjjd: you have to set the key23:23
Jack_Sparrowhexon, it should take care of things by itself,  are you trying to preserve thingsa on your old system?23:23

NithSwiss73: did you make the second drive your primary drive?23:27
erUSULSwiss73: maybe you should first change the master slave status of the disk or mark the correct disk for booting on bios23:27

ubotumDemocritus: Ever wanted to make your USB-stick /dev/usbstick? Go to http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html to learn more about this feature.23:52
soyeurjust do a google search, ijustam23:52
Carbonfluxijustam, there are some plugins that make that a lot easier in gimp23:52
Azure_Tideis that all necessary before I partition to install 7.10 ubuntu?23:52
eduardostefg, im in live cd now, any suggestions_23:52
soundraysemi-newb: for unop's advice to work, you'd also have to recreate /boot/grub/menu.lst (reinstalling won't do that for you)23:52
CarbonfluxI used gimp to do this one: http://www.carbonflux.org/GrayMan_bow2.gif23:52
Carbonfluxfrom a avi file23:53
DragonLotussoundray: thanks will do23:53
ijustamoh really?23:53
BoohbahAzure_Tide: why not 8.04?23:53
ijustami have an mpeg i want to convert to a gif23:53
stefgeduardo: first mount your installed system23:53
unopsoundray, doesn't the grub postinst script set that up?23:53
mDemocritusstefg: you think that would work? the stupid multitracker doesn't show in /dev, but other usb disks work fine23:53
Carbonfluxijustam, just need to install all the right plugins, take a look at gimp.org also23:53
soundraysemi-newb: also, the /boot/initrd-...gz is fairly specific to your system23:53
Azure_Tideboohbah > i've never used linux before, and this is my laptop I use for everything.  8.04 doesn't have a stable ver til april 24th right?23:54
DragonLotussoundray: restarting23:54
Carbonfluxijustam, also in the ubuntu repo's if you search for "gimp" using symantac there is a video/animation package you can install23:54
soundrayunop: I don't think so... but I may be wrong.23:54
eduardostefg, where do i mount my hd to?23:54
stefgmDemocritus: so it's no USB stick, but some player? might just be not compatible23:54
ijustamCarbonflux: yeah i have that one23:54
Aval0nso when apt-get dist-upgrade is finished your at gutsy?23:54
Carbonfluxah ok23:54
=== ilsanto is now known as IlSanto
Aval0nyou're23:54
IlSantohi all23:54
mDemocritusstefg: but it's supposedly mass storage class23:54
Sinnermannautilus has stopped making thumbnails for my pictures, why is that?23:54
mDemocritusstefg: and works on windows...23:54
soundrayunop: no -- it only runs update-grub, which needs at least a basic one in place23:55
SubOnehow do i restore my sound after wine killed it23:55
eduardostefg, where do i mount my hd to_23:55
stefgeduardo: you should see in it 'Computer' and clicking on it will mount it some where in /media ... the interesting part is where it gets mounted. What ubuntu version do you use ?23:55
unopsoundray, /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub.postinst calls update-grub which generates menu.lst (see the manpage)23:55
ShaiHey all, I'm trying to blacklist a module but, it continues to load. I've added entries to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and I've created a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-smsc_ircc2 but it continues to load. Any suggestions?23:55
mDemocritusstefg: i haven't taken a look at the udev logs though... thanks for the idea23:55
jurgensuche was zum poppen23:55
Carbonfluxijustam, it can be a pain, I decided to generate all my animations in avi files even tho I am using a linux tool chain because of the conversion tools, when I was looking around at options for building a tool chain I did see a few command line tools that should do what you want, but I don't recall the details now.23:55
stefgmDemocritus: 'works on windows' means nothing23:56
ijustamit might be easier just to use imagemagick to convert my jpg frames to gif then use gifsicle..23:56
eduardostefg. 7.1023:56
SeanInSeattleHas anyone else noticed that dependencies are an issue with installing a given program in Ubuntu / Linux?23:56
ShaiSeanInSeattle Haven't seen that so far.23:56
mDemocritusstefg: lol i'm aware... but it should, since there's a standard for USB Mass Storage devices....23:56
CarbonfluxSeanInSeattle, thats a good thing23:56
SeanInSeattleCarbonflux:  Why is that a good thing?23:57
=== silverdawn_ is now known as Silverdawn
stefgmDemocritus: so you're gonna say that it's a standards compliant device23:57
Carbonfluxbecause its better then downloading a app and having it just crash23:57
eduardostefg, im using ubuntu 7.1023:57
artfullylostSo Hardy Heron releases at the tail end of April, correct?23:57
mDemocritusstefg: nah... but it says it is....23:57
ShaiSo, anyone know hwo to get a module to stop loading at boot?23:57
SeanInSeattleI mean, I resolved the issue with dependencies, but it was a 6 step process... argh.23:58
mDemocritusstefg: any other ideas.... you think changing the drive caching might help?23:58
CarbonfluxLinux is fairly transparent about dependencies I like that.23:58
stefgeduardo: so open 'Computer' you should see your installed ubuntu partition. click on it and see if a window pops up showing the content23:58
ijustamugh, the imagemagick that comes in the repos is kinda lacking23:58
PifferWhats a good URL where I get get some Ubuntu shirts/glasses/stickers etc? (Not Jinx/thinkgeek)23:58
nottnottcould someone help me with PHP/running SH23:58
IlSantoraga ma... ho ubuntu 7.10 quindi con compiz, lo ho abilitato installato il compizsettingmanager.. tutt'ok attivo il cubo e funziona... ma non riesco a vedere il cubo ma solo le facce dei quattro desktop premendo freccia ctr+alt+dx con ctr+alt+down mi fa vedere un desktop affianco all'altro e non il cubo..... qualche idea ?23:58
eduardostefg, yes i can see the content now, but i dont know what to fix23:58
stefgmDemocritus: is taht ntfs formatted ?23:58
steve__morgen23:58
BoohbahShai: add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist23:58
mDemocritusstefg: nope... FAT3223:58
eduardostefg, i had troubles with gtk lib, but i reinstalled it, and it didnt work either23:58
soundraySeanInSeattle: that's not normally the case. If you 'sudo apt-get install app', it'll normally pull in the required dependencies in one step.23:58
CarbonfluxSeanInSeattle, thats linux tho, its not a 1:1 map with "user friendly" OS's regardless of the press, its the price you pay for control23:58
valrosAny insight into this problem please, im running the live CD on a dell laptop, no sound. Is this a known problem or would this continue.23:59
Carbonfluxya what soundray said23:59
DragonLotusHey soundray, I rebooted and I still recieved the error about it not being able to find my video card and me having to pick it manually.23:59
Odd-rationaleHow do I get a new IP address from a dhcp server? Thanks!23:59
ShaiBoohbah, I did, it still loads. Also blacklisted anything that was dependent on it.23:59
