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] !exfat [00:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about exfat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:01] JustJaden: there are a ton; some reading might be in order before you ask here [00:01] crimsun: How do I regenerate the initramfs? [00:01] mactaylor, what is exfat ? === carlzenox is now known as lol [00:02] Ok, it's done now. Is there another step involved?

Anyway, I can't get java commands to run or compile java files. Any help in this area would be appreciated. [00:05] dudesmn: why do you want to do that? [00:05] i need ot install something [00:05] dudesmn, you don't you use sudo before commands [00:05] dudesmn: no need for that just sudo apt-get install packagename [00:05] then how would i install the graphics driver [00:05] the ubuntu article does not apply to mee [00:06] dudesmn: you use the restricted drivers manager for that [00:06] restricted drivers manager wont load [00:06] aghhhh i need help getting ubuntu to recognize the broadcom network card i have [00:06] dudesmn, when you run the installer command for that driver , you type sudo command (whatever else), you'll get asked for the password [00:06] ok [00:06] xavierpwns: you read that link about wifi? [00:07] !broadcom | xavierpwns [00:07] xavierpwns: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [00:07] doesnt work [00:07] https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat83-inst.html [00:07] xavierpwns: please read that link first [00:08] should i just scrap this install and simply re-do it with the 32 bit version? [00:08] this is being a pain, because i dont have a clue how to use linux [00:08] Serveck: well that depends on you; do you have over 4GB of ram and/or hate youtube? [00:08] i got 2gb of ram, and i like youtube.. [00:09] Serveck, yes.. use the 32 bit version... much better for you in the long run.. the learning curve is high enough when converting. [00:09] Serveck: then the 32 bit is the best bet; flash install on 64 bit can be a bit tiring [00:09] i might as well scrap this install (having no experience) [00:09] agreed [00:09] aight.. looks like i need to swap hard drives now [00:09] ill brbr (going to laptop) [00:09] ati-driver-installer-8.3-x86.x86_64.run: command not found [00:09] Serveck, when redoing it create a separate /home partition [00:09] too late [00:09] heh [00:10] "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 else [00:10] I'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] flaxh [00:10] ummmm [00:10] levander: he was totally new to ubuntu [00:10] yep [00:10] still cant install my drivers [00:10] :\ [00:11] He 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] bazhang: So, what makes it more difficult to install 64 bit for newbies? [00:11] xavierpwns: open a terminal and type ifconfig does it show only lo and eth0 or a third listing as well [00:11] levander: flash for one [00:11] levander, unfamiliarity in a new environment [00:12] bazhang: I thought that firefox plugin wrapper on 64 bit was supposed to work fine with flash? [00:12] it only has eth0 and lo [00:12] my drivers wont install [00:12] xavierpwns: did you install the driver? [00:13] levander, 32 bit is still recommended for new users, dual booting 32 and64 is another good option. [00:13] im not sure how :/ [00:13] Jack_Sparrow: Any idea why 32 bit is still recommended for new users? [00:13] =/ [00:13] hi guys. I need help with setting wireless internet in gutsy gibbon [00:13] doseryder: what card [00:13] levander, 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] why wont this work "print $con "NICK ".$3."\n";" [00:13] unop: Which commands? [00:14] levander, flash and driver issues are the basics.. [00:14] it says no nickname given [00:14] bazhang:Thank you for your prompt response and attention to my problem [00:14] levander: any commands ;] [00:14] hello o.o [00:14] is this the place to get 8.04 help? [00:14] bazhang: Like, there's no "Software Sources" dialog in 64 bits, so you have to use apt-get on the command line? [00:14] i need help installing my ati drivers [00:14] #ubuntu+1 please mat__ [00:15] mat__, no [00:15] thanks [00:15] bazhang: its a TP-LINK wireless g usb [00:15] Jack_Sparrow: Well, I hope my wireless Linksys card works under 64 bits. It works fine with ndiswrapper under 32 bits. [00:15] levander: this is getting a bit offtopic.. [00:15] agreed [00:15] 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 up [00:15] or giving me the error "I/O error" and not copying the file [00:15] In other words, you guys don't know. We're completely talking about Ubuntu. [00:15] why is it locking up/freezing [00:15] doseryder: what does lspci in the terminal say about that card (just the one line) [00:15] carlzenox, what language is that? [00:15] hi [00:15] bazhang: in the past i have heard about the ndiswrapper thingy but never looked into it cuz i never had the need to [00:16] I 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] does ubuntu come with a DVB viewer? [00:16] bazhang: can you walk me through installing my drivers for my network card? (broadcom) [00:16] Does anyone have any tips on how I can get Java back to where it's supposed to be? [00:16] unop_:perl [00:16] like kubuntu has kaffiene which works with DVB [00:16] ubuntu__, are you using the command line or gui to do the copy [00:16] levander, we have told you specifically areas that are a problem.. we have told you you are drifting into offtopic.. [00:16] Scunizi, gui. [00:16] levander: actually folks here do know but this is not the 32/64 bit chat channel ;] [00:16] carlzenox, you trying to write a script? [00:16] ubuntu__, and is the external a usb drive? [00:16] yes sir [00:17] Scunizi, yeah, a fat32-partitioned usb external [00:17] carlzenox, use the !pastebin and show us what you have first. [00:17] bazhang: Jack_Sparrow: You guys need to read the channel topic. [00:17] OK, 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] xavierpwns: install ndisgtk and it should be self explanatory from there [00:17] !pastebin [00:17] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:17] levander: haha [00:17] yuri: script?

[00:18] !ot | bazhang levander [00:18] bazhang, I'm in windows right now but can you gimme some directions as to how to setup my wireless internet? I have access to the gutsy gibbon live-cd [00:18] bazhang levander: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[00:19] ok thanks ;) [00:19] how do I get the system to recognize my wireless card? [00:19] ty a lot Scunizi [00:19] nicodarious, only if you have added non-supported repos [00:19] ubuntu__, np [00:19] JustJaden: depends very much on what card it is [00:19] doseryder: best way to do it is in the system itself; any way to get online and troubleshoot from a seperate computer? [00:19] i use both gcc 4 & gcc if i wann compile things like jedi academy [00:19] ok back [00:19] how can I find out? [00:19] oh, Scunizi, i copied a buncha stuff over. will that automatically overwrite it (whiuch is fine) [00:19] gcc 3 is better for the q3 comiling i think [00:19] compiling* [00:19] ubuntu__, yes.. [00:20] ok, so im downloading unbuntu 32 bit this time, im assuming its exactly the same [00:20] JustJaden: you might get better answers if you include info such as chipset on your card, model, brand.. output from lspci etc [00:20] after all that time spent into configuring ubuntu, i find out i installed the wrong version.... [00:20] i need help installing my graphics drivers [00:20] JustJaden: lspci will give you a long number identifying your card... google for that number and ubuntu and you might find something [00:20] should i install 7.10 or 8.04? (new to linux) [00:20] Serveck, 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 remain [00:21] Jack_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 core [00:21] Serveck, 7.10 [00:21] ok [00:21] whats the command to see what ive installed using apt-get? [00:21] bazhang, I'm on my desktop now, I do have another laptop that i can use but its kinda slow. How can i install my TP-LINK wireless g usb? [00:21] im downloading via torrent now [00:21] i'd wait for the final buiold but that's just i & i mon [00:21] i need help with google earth, my x restarts after i load google earth, someone can help me?!

[00:21] crimsun: I attempted to regenerate the initramfs for my Ubuntu install (I chroot'd into it). However it still hangs at bootup. [00:21] you will have to walk me through how to set up /home when i get to that point [00:21] JustJaden: sorry.. lspci doesn't give you a number..

[00:22] yes [00:22] those do not apply to me [00:22] i need help with google earth, my x restarts after i load google earth, someone can help me?!

After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [00:23] yes amenado [00:23] restricted drivers does not work [00:23] is it not the same? [00:23] lol@root ircing [00:23] no [00:23] bazhang: okay, in that case.

[00:25] google earth that is [00:25] Jack_Sparrow, is there a way to clean out the repos list and re download them? [00:25] shade_: check your software sources.. and remove the cd from them [00:25] shade_: disable the cd as a software source [00:25] nicodarious, not sure what is up with that.. it isnt a common issue..

I have regenerated the initramfs and still it refuses to boot with the same message. [00:25] Hi all, I have just installed Gutsy on a new Compaq Presario F750 laptop. I have a few issues. First, it seems unable to see any wireless interfaces. Second, the screen resolution will not properly set to 1280x800 -- the laptop lcd screen native resolution. Can anyone help me with this? [00:26] fr500-> recompiling does not change init [00:26] !res | CapaH [00:26] CapaH: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [00:26] nicodarious, YOu can restore the repo list, but it sounds like the damage is already done. [00:26] amenado: did it for mpd and now mpd won't start on boot [00:26] wow.. this is one fast torrent... it will only take 20 minutes to download [00:26] fr500-> once more, just compiling a source does not change the init script [00:26] how can i move the close button on the top panel? somehow it has moved towards the left and is not moving past the volume control [00:27] amenado: i understand, but i still have that issue [00:27] Jack_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] KalEl: right click and unlock it [00:27] 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] fr500-> now if you installed something that also affects the init script, thats different [00:27] nicodarious, something is up... is that hardy you have there or some other distro? [00:27] amenado: just did apt-get source mpd, configure make and did a checkinstall to generate a deb, maybe that's my fault? [00:27] fr500-> compiling not equal to installing [00:28] Lounge, aha thanks [00:28] KalEl: np [00:28] fr500 checkinstall ? thats not an ubuntu step is it? [00:28] ubuntu__: that's a very generic error.. could be almost anything [00:28] exit [00:29] instead of make install, checkinstall generates a backup deb and then installs [00:29] xavierpwns, im sending you broadcom drivers that work [00:29] Jack_Sparrow, official 7.10 Gutsy distro straight from Ubuntu website. [00:29] xenthro: thanks so much [00:30] nicodarious: what are you installing source files for the kernel? [00:30] Is it possible to upgrade to linux mint from gutsy? [00:30] SpookyET: nay [00:30] fr500 okay, so your did install, and whatever you created from source (ie the deb) was installed overwriting the old one [00:30] SpookyET: i don't think so, but you should ask the Mint people [00:30] SpookyET: you'll have to ask the Linux Mint people.. probably not [00:30] SpookyET: severe downgrade [00:30] amenado: all i want to do is the normal mpd available to have flaac support, so i gotta pass aflag [00:30] xavierpwns, check your XDCC [00:30] bazhang: it's based on gusty, what are you talking about [00:30] Ubuntu__: 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] bazhang, 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 dump [00:30] !gusty [00:30] fr500 you can always check the contents of the init script to see how it works [00:30] xenthro: :[ what's that? [00:30] It is spelt !guTSy :) [00:30] SpookyET: its better to backup your personal files to t bz2 file and then doing a clean install to mint [00:31] nicodarious, fresh install and as soon as you try to apt-get kernel source you have the problem? [00:31] nicodarious: why would you do that what are you trying to accomplish [00:31] xavierpwns, are you using xchat? if yes, you should see a download dialogue [00:31] "Put display to sleep" does not seem to be working in power management [00:31] bazhang, i tried other files through apt-get .... nothing.... core dump. [00:31] SpookyET: you can ask in #linuxmint [00:31] stroyan, it could be the drive failing, i dont know. windows BSODd immediately on bootup. you think its his drive dying? [00:31] i'm using pidgin or whatever [00:31] SpookyET: but then again - you could always add the mint repos and try doing a dist-upgrade [00:31] gaim [00:31] fr500 can you see how the checkinstall installed stuff for you? what it added? [00:31] how can you make a backup of your system that can also be used as a vmware or qemu image?? [00:32] Jack_Sparrow, I installed linux-source-2.6.22 fine. but after, everything else gives core dump. [00:32] ubuntu__: It happens.

It's always the first thing I install onto a fresh system. [00:32] xavierpwns, 1 sec [00:32] bazhang, that and libc6 libc6-dev [00:32] Scientus-> i dont think that is possible.. [00:32] have to step away for a moment nicodarious be right back [00:32] xenthro: ok [00:33] Does anyone know how I can change the logs for Apche2 so they dont roll over every 2 days, but roll over every 2 weeks instead? I have a low-volume server [00:33] Scientus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 [00:33] thx [00:33] ok guys, just downloaded the alternative cd.. have 2 hard drives, but have yet to get the text installer to allow them both to be merged under a single lvm vg [00:33] hello, i be a newbie...just installed ubuntu from a disk a friend gave me...hoary hedgehog...cute name...but can't see other partitions on laptop disk, but could see other partition on desktop..also is there a way to upgrade to latest ubuntu without losing any data...i said i was a newbie so u can stop laughing any time u want...:-) lol [00:34] I'm able to use my home wifi, but at public wifi (Panera, specifically) I don't see their start page in any of the browsers that I have - can anyone help? [00:34] nicodarious, just so I understand.. you are installing the source? [00:34] darkblue_B-> i dont know if you have apache2 entries on your logrotate.conf ..please check [00:34] amenado: checking [00:34] ralphw: its morelikey that they prefer iE explorer instead of firefox [00:35] darkblue_B-> actually its in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 [00:35] Jack_Sparrow, cirrect [00:35] user__: perhaps you should try a newer version.. !gutsy is the latest and greatest [00:35] how can they tell I'm firefox? [00:35] !who ralphw [00:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about who ralphw - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:35] I just upgraded to gutsy from feisty and now nothing works or shows but mu background and the power putton [00:35] !who | ralphw [00:35] ralphw: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:35] does anyone know how long wine takes to install? [00:35] lol failz [00:35] Hmm.. When I am configuring/choosing the monitor for this laptop, I choose brand 'Compaq' and there are tons of choices, 1024, 140, 150, 151fs, etc etc ---- how do I know which one to choose? All I know it is a 15.4" Widescreen LCD ? [00:36] slart> how do i get newest..."gutsy"..can it be downloaded... [00:36] amenado why wouldnt it be possible [00:36] anybody have a method for quickly posting a 4mb file? [00:36] Web_Warlord: depends on your hardware [00:36] Web_Warlord: count to 20 or 30 [00:36] Web_Warlord: Shouldn't take long - downloading probably takes longer [00:36] amenado: no, nothing about apache2 in /etc/logrotate.conf [00:36] i could imagine it at least for qemu, would the driver change kill it, i have no experience with changing hardwar in linux [00:36] but apparently gnome works. Nevermind [00:36] can [00:36] Scientus because am not running ubuntu on a virtual machine.. [00:36] user__, yes it is on the website :) [00:36] xenthro: still working? :/ [00:36] hi guys! can someone explain me the ubuntu package naming scheme? [00:36] darkblue_B-> actually its in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 [00:37] user__: open a browser, go to http://www.ubuntu.com .. you can figure it out from there [00:37] xavierpwns, trying to figure out a way to send it to you [00:37] Is bazhang or scunizi around? [00:37] Jack_Sparrow, I install the source fine.. but after anything else gives me core dumps. this is odd, since I have always installed source files first. [00:37] what is ubuntu based on? gnome? [00:37] Serveck: Debian [00:37] oh, ok [00:37] amenado: ooohhhhh ok, I am lookng at the file.. confusing [00:37] Is it normal for gnome to use 600+mb ram? [00:38] Serveck: it uses gnome per default [00:38] gnome is the display manager default in ubuntu though [00:38] bazhang was here earlier [00:38] nicodarious, 32 or 64? [00:38] slart_> I have ibm thinkpad and pentium desktop with a cd\writer I can burn files with...system backups, mp3s etc...it's got plenty of disk space for a download... [00:38] Serveck: kUbuntu uses KDE and Xubuntu uses XFCE [00:38] slart___thanks [00:38] Jack_Sparrow, 32. 64 doesn't support what I need it to do yet. [00:38] is there a way of making ubuntu use both disks in a single lvm vg? [00:38] in the alternate installer [00:38] Bluesdrive, did you ever use a program called automatix? [00:38] amenado: it says weekly.. but I think its rolling over every two days right now === GDonato is now known as GDonato|away [00:39] nicodarious, sorry, I dont have any answers for you.. [00:39] daemoen: I think so, yes.. haven't used it myself though so no guarantee [00:39] Jack_Sparrow, i'm about to say f*ckit and go back with debian unstable... although Ubuntu has always been good to me on my laptop. [00:39] xenthro: flashdrive then mail it to me ;] [00:39] Jack_Sparrow, thanks anyway for your time and efforts. [00:39] darkblue_B-> i dont remember the exact parameters of that file, perhaps you can man logrotate [00:39] np [00:39] xavierpwns, flashdrive? === lipsinOffline is now known as lipsin [00:39] what are some basic ways i can test if this internal hd is failing? im on a livecd right now [00:39] Traveler0, I'm back [00:40] amenado: yes, I am looking.. I dd not know this was the place to change the settings.. you are helping thanks [00:40] xenthro: it was a joke. can you email it to me? [00:40] Ah, hey. [00:40] ubuntu_-> make a high pitch noise is one, losing data is another..watch your /var/log/messages [00:40] Traveler0, well? dinner good? [00:40] ubuntu__: check the s.m.a.r.t info [00:40] xavierpwns, sure, email? [00:40] Scunizi, I'm Traveler5 from earlier. I'm still having some trouble getting online. [00:40] !fsck | ubuntu__ [00:40] ubuntu__: 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 reboot [00:40] hey people! why is my Xubuntu booting uptil "*Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK]" and then stops? [00:40] Lol, yes, it was excellent. [00:40] ubuntu__: If you have the smartmontools package on that live cd you could poke around the drive with smartctl. [00:40] Jack_Sparrow, I can't find anything online about it either except that Ubuntu has a libc bug. [00:41] Jack_Sparrow, but that's not the problem, I have found. === glenn_ is now known as glenn [00:41] scunizi, I disabled ipv6, but still am getting nothing. I can, however, access the router setup from that computer. [00:41] anyone know if the booting time in hardy has been improved? [00:41] Traveler0, so just to refresh my memory.. you can get on with the live cd but not with the installed version? right? [00:41] Lounge: ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:41] HoboBen: how long does the downloda take? [00:41] OK, so I finally after spending all day trying to figure it out got my wireless to work on the notebook i just installed on. the only problem is that everytime i restart i have to type "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid myNet key myKey mode managed" and then "dhclient". is there a way i can make that permanent so the wireless is up automatically, instead of having to type those everytime? [00:41] Slart: ...K... [00:41] Jack_Sparrow, I think I'm going to reinstall one more time and update the system before installing source. maybe then that would work. again, thanks for your help. [00:41] i mean i've been sitting for like 30 minutes [00:41] set theme default.theme [00:41] when i run adept installer i get an error saying another process is using the packaging system database [00:41] Traveler0, and are there other machines on the network that can access ok ? [00:41] scunizi: No, I was able to get online with Windows, not the live CD or the installed version of Ubuntu. [00:41] with little progress [00:42] xenthro: xavierxcore@yahoo.com [00:42] good luck [00:42] Question what by default is the kernel version in Ubuntu Dapper? [00:42] Traveler0, are you connected to dsl or cable [00:42] scunizi: I'm on another machine on the same network right now. [00:42] cable [00:42] Web_Warlord - depends where you get it from. If you get it from the maintainers (latest version) it's very slow. If you get it from wherever Ubuntu defaults to, it should only take a few seconds to a minute or so, depending on your connection speed. [00:43] Does anyone know what I should select for "Monitor Name" if I have a Compaq Presario 15.4" Laptop LCD screen? [00:43] Traveler0, ok.. since you can get to the router but not the internet that means the issue is somewhere with the router.. maybe.. [00:43] What is Ubuntu Dappers, kernel Version? [00:43] Traveler0-> paste in pastebin your ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf and sudo iptables -n -vL [00:43] where does apt-get install openssl install it to? [00:43] ubuntu__: sudo smartctl --health /dev/sda is disk drive for " how are you feeling?" [00:43] ty HoboBen [00:43] Is anyone in here in Ubuntu Dapper? [00:43] CapaH: I thought ubuntu autodetected your monitor settings using that.. DDE thing? [00:43] ty a lot stroyan [00:44] thegotogeek no, but you can find the kernel version on packages.ubuntu.com [00:44] amenado: I'm sorry... what? I just switched to Ubuntu today, so I'm a bit new to using the commands and such. [00:44] Slart: On mine all it gets is "Plug n Play" [00:44] Traveler0, look up in the right corner of the screen .. near the clock.. to you see what looks like your typical network icon? [00:44] hmm, stroyan this livecd doesnt have smartctl, and its not in the standard repositories [00:44] My home wifi connection is working, but when I go to public wifi spots (Panera specifically) I can't see their registration page with any of my istalled browsers - is there a work-around? [00:44] whats command to move a folder in bash? [00:44] My laptop is an acer aspire 3680, I had a look at enabling sound, I can hear it faintly [00:44] scunizi: should I try plugging straight into the modem and see if that gets me online? [00:45] FFVV: mv [00:45] Traveler0, yes.. that might work [00:45] scunizi: Yeah, I know. I see two computers, both with black screens. [00:45] can u give an example, what would i type? [00:45] xenthro: you there? [00:45] ralphw: more likely their reg page is set or biased towards iexplorer [00:45] CapaH: yes.. I don't think it can fetch the monitor name.. but the settings for refresh rates and such [00:45] scunizi: hang on a second, lemme try that. [00:45] Traveler0, right mouse click on one [00:45] ubuntu__ it's in smartmontools [00:45] amenado: ok, I changed a couple of lnes.. restart apache? [00:45] FFVV: mv folder folderold or mv folder /to/a/different/directory [00:45] Traveler0-> type those command i ask in a terminal, this will tell us your settings and advise you accordingly [00:45] What are some good games for linux? [00:45] found the package actually [00:45] xavierpwns, its on its way 1 sec [00:45] ubuntu__: The smartmontools package is in the main repository. I don't know how well downloading that will go on a live cd. [00:45] !tag lounge [00:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about tag lounge - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:45] darkblue_B-> always, restart if you change configs [00:46] !games [00:46] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [00:46] poseidon, open arena, tremulous, [00:46] poseidon: Tremulous is nice.. Enemy Territory... [00:46] FFVV: mv -r /folder1 /blah/folder2 i think. type man mv for more info [00:46] lounge: no workaround? [00:46] poseidon: enigma, torcs [00:46] poseidon: there are also some civ clones.. and Lincity if you like those kind of games [00:46] scunizi, amenado, hang on, I'm going to try plugging that machine straight into the modem. I'l probably get disconnected from here. [00:46] Slart: It doesn't seem to be getting that --- fortunately I have dual boot so let me jump into Vista on it and see if I can get that information === mactaylor is now known as ericdelko [00:46] tpw_rules: their is no -r flag only with cp and its -R [00:46] stroyan, it installed. however with the command you gave me (changed the path of course) it says [00:46] please specify drive type with the -d option [00:47] Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having with my wireless connection.......I have a very strong signal but not connecting ! (I'm a newby to ubuntu and really trying to learn it -hehehe-) [00:47] use smartctl -h to get a usage sumary [00:47] amenado: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart... off we go.. thx :-) [00:47] poseidon, it all depends on what kind of games you like to play right now im playing doom3 [00:47] nks_: what wireless card have you got? [00:47] xenthro: thanks. what do i do with the extraced folder? [00:47] ugh I hate Vista :) [00:47] hay [00:47] ubuntu: The path might be different. And SMART might be disabled in the BIOS. (or it may not be supported by some drives) [00:47] i piped a binary into cat [00:48] how do I get my terminal back? [00:48] how do I get out of insert mode in Terminal? [00:48] webtoe- atheros ar5418 [00:48] daedra ctl-c [00:48] daedra: ctrl+c [00:48] nickrud: no [00:48] daedra: control+c [00:48] this did not work [00:48] Hi how do I install Non-English fonts pls? [00:48] daedra: close terminal and open a new one if its gibberish [00:48] daedra then you'll have to close it [00:48] daedra: it might take a few tries [00:48] JustJaden: there is no "insert mode" in the terminal. Do you mean vim? hit escape [00:48] ani1: I am in frame buffer [00:48] daedra or type reset , blindly if you have command line [00:48] xavierpwns, just use the included .inf or .sys folder, forgot which it is. open ndisgtk and point it to one of those files [00:48] how do i rename a folder? [00:48] FFVV: mv [00:48] FFVV: with the mv command === crd1b is now known as crdlb [00:48] ha! thank you. How do you make a new entry in the Blacklist? [00:49] daedra: type reset in the terminal [00:49] webtoe- I have a Atheros AR5418. [00:49] !blacklist | JustJaden [00:49] JustJaden: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [00:49] ah cool its worked :) [00:49] ralphw:you caould try useing opera for logging on the page or if you're usingplugins like addblock+ or noscript in firefox, try setting them to allow the reg page [00:49] * Kamus_H_Zwisch está away: jantando [00:49] OK, so I finally after spending all day trying to figure it out got my wireless to work on the notebook i just installed on. the only problem is that everytime i restart i have to type "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid myNet key myKey mode managed" and then "dhclient". is there a way i can make that permanent so the wireless is up automatically, instead of having to type those everytime? [00:50] nks_: hang on a sec, just looking up that wireless card. how do you know you have good signal? The icon at the top right? [00:50] how do i install airsnort. [00:50] Agh, I'm back. [00:50] No luck. [00:50] scunizi: you still here? [00:50] jtravnick, I like to play multiplayer games (usually with some stratagey in them). [00:50] ok, thank you - webtoe [00:50] Traveler0, yep [00:50] Ok I know it is 60hz [00:50] jaffarkelshac: sudo apt-get install snort [00:50] Thanks for the suggestions, I'm already downloading one of them [00:50] yes, the icon [00:50] xenthro: i did this and it says that there's no hardware present. o.0 [00:51] screen saver taking up too much of cpu - can i somehow deprioriize it? [00:51] how can I get in recovery (safe) mode? [00:51] ani1, thats airsnort? [00:51] scunizi: Traveler4 now... Anyway, I had no luck. You want me to right click the network icon... i have networking enabled... [00:51] Traveler0, ok.. look at the two icons I mentioned before. right mouse click on one of them .. one should say "enable networking" with a checkmark next to it. [00:51] nks_: do you have details of your wireless connection? Is it hidden or not? Encrypted? is it your own personal wireless system? [00:51] ok, can someone walk me through how to set up that /home [00:51] KalEl: well... there is always "renice" [00:51] KalEl, have you tried renicing it? [00:51] KalEl select no screensaver, or use one that needs fewer resources [00:51] yes -webtoe [00:51] mount -f is returning device is busy! [00:51] GrooveStix: Pick it at the GRUB menu. To get to the grub menu, if its hidden, hit escape right after the post screen [00:52] how can i umount if force is not working [00:52] scunizi: I already have that checked. [00:52] KalEl: but renice won't keep it from using your cpu.. unless something else is running [00:52] jaffarkelshac: sudo apt-get install airsnort no difference just [00:52] my own personal home network.. [00:52] thanks Flannel [00:52] ok thanks... not sure how to renice screensaver though, but i think i'll try to find a low cpu screen saver :) [00:52] Traveler0, ok.. do the other one and choose properties [00:52] poseidon, just pull up synaptic theres all kinds of games in there [00:52] Traveler0, now in the box what is named under "Name" [00:52] My own personal network - webtoe [00:53] xavierpwns, I just found the page with the instructions that I used to get it working. scroll down to wireless and follow those steps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575750 [00:53] KalEl: use the system monitor to search for a process called xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver [00:53] ani1, airsnort was not there, i download the source file but apparently i need gtk+2.2 [00:53] k [00:53] Scientus what error are you getting when you try sudo umount /dev/ ? [00:53] has anyone seen umount -f not work?? [00:53] FFVV dpkg -L openssl [00:53] scunizi: Other one? There's only one icon there [00:53] !info airsnort | jaffarkelshac [00:53] Traveler0, I thought you said that there were two before.. np.. just asec [00:53] info is not working [00:53] can you make multiple lines of code in terminal? [00:53] :( [00:53] Flannel, is there a way to get the GUI in safe mode running? [00:54] just installed aMSN, but it won't connect for me,........says I need 'tls module...help [00:54] umount2: Device or resource is busy umount:/media/disk-1: device is busy and then the same thing again [00:54] nks_: its possible that you;re card just isn;'t well supported yet [00:54] jaffarkelshac: its there ... sudo aptitude show airsnort [00:54] JustJaden-> what are you trying to achieve? [00:54] Traveler0, go to System/Admin/network .. enter your password [00:54] is it an ecrypted network? [00:54] JustJaden end lines with \ , until you've done them all [00:54] JustJaden: man bash has a lot of info about the terminal.. I think you can use backslash for several lines.. but I'm not really sure [00:54] jaffarkelshac: have you enabled the extra repositories? [00:54] GrooveStix: no. Recovery console is singer user mode. no GUI. What did you originally think you needed the recovery console for? [00:54] Traveler0, what's listed under the connections tab [00:54] anil i think so, i am on hardy though if it makes any difference [00:54] It asked me for the WEP - I type it in and it takes forever without connecting - after a while it asks me for the WEP password again! -webtoe [00:54] hmm.... I'll try that [00:54] that was to sudo umount -f [00:54] #winehq [00:55] Scientus well, error message from that the. [00:55] ewithout the umount2: error when i dont use the -f option [00:55] any help on getting aMSN working? [00:55] Traveler0, ping.. you there? [00:55] nks_: doing just a brief google search tells me that your card's drivers are still in the experimental stage [00:55] Scientus-> try fuser -km /dev/sdaX to kill whatever process hogging that device..? [00:56] Flannel: it's a complicated problem to explain and I am using Xubuntu, but I remember this one time when I was messing with the display preferences, Xubuntu restarted in this low-res safemode looking mode... [00:56] scunizi: Just a heads up.. my nick changed to Traveler4 and this aplet isn't letting me change it. [00:56] Scientus ah, missed it. You have a terminal open to the partition, somewhere in it's file tree or another app has a file open there. lsof | grep /path to see [00:56] nks_: this means that they'll connect to an base station but its abit flakey from there [00:56] yep lol :) thx [00:56] scunizi: Tell you wht is listed under connections? Sorry, I'm having to run between rooms. [00:56] anyone know how to solve your 3d gl crashing your cxserver after about five minutes of use [00:56] same one i way trtying to umount with lol [00:56] nks_: some people have had good results with the driver that's in development at the moment, but its not released yet [00:56] even though i closed everything else [00:57] nks_: you can either wait, use the development version or use ndiswrapper [00:57] Traveler4, sorry. what are you trying to change.. ah.. system/admin/network enter password and tell me what's in the box that pops up [00:57] when I try the blacklist thing, It gives me 2 options. One says that another program is editing the same file, and the other says an edit session for this file crashed. [00:57] the fuser command killed the same window :) [00:57] nks_: 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!! [00:58] 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] JustJaden-> go to that directory and see if there is the *.swp file [00:58] getting more beer [00:58] What do you think - webtoe [00:58] scunizi: There's "Wired Connection" grayed out with "roaming mode enabled" under it and "modem connection" also grayed out [00:58] nks__ that would isolate the error. Works, wep. Not works, network ;) [00:58] Scientus-> yep the fuser -km /dev/sdaX will forcibly kill process access that device [00:58] amenado> how do I do that? [00:58] xenthro: going to restart and hopefully it'll be working :] wish me luck [00:58] JustJaden-> change directory == cd [00:59] unlikethats good to remember [00:59] So is there a way for me to get connected ?-nickrud [00:59] hello - is there supposed to be a option in the gnome menu - "System > Preferences > fonts" -- because i dont have it? :( [00:59] how can I remount my WD USB 500GB hard drive [00:59] Traveler4, 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 enabled [00:59] Scientus-> make a lil cheat sheet for things like this..for future reference [00:59] nks_: yes that might help. You see, the driver often needs to implement the encryption system as well. So disabling wep migfht help [00:59] i allways look up man pages on command that are useful [00:59] for some reason the drive is not being recognized event after I unplug it and plug it back in [02:00] scunizi: Well, I've done that before, but didn't work. [02:00] nks__ 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 passwords [02:00] nks_: 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 yet [02:00] can anyone help me with getting aMSN to work please ?..dont wanna butt in [02:00] scunizi: I havn't done it since I disabled ipv6 though... hold on...

[02:01] david_ no apology necessary, this channel can be intimidating, how fast it moves. Be sure to use people's nicks when you address them, they're much more likely to be able to keep up with you :) [02:02] I dont understand........'dont ask a question..ask a question in one line' ?? [02:02] how can I re-enable my external USB hard drive? [02:02] scunizi: no dice [02:02] david_: as in, don't have a question last for loads of sentences [02:02] reya276-> plug it in? [02:02] Traveler4, ok.. open a terminal (applications/accessories/terminal) and type.. ifconfig down.. then do a.. ifconfig up.. [02:02] david_ don't ask if you're butting in, just ask your question as completely as you can on one line [02:02] ahh,ok [02:02] i speak english [02:02] ¬¬ [02:02] david_: I'm using emacs on a terminal and its line wrapping at 80 characterss [02:03] david_: so think of me when you're typing! [02:03] I did that, I made a mistake and went to the volue tab and added a mount point "/media/My Book" but now even un I uplug it and plug it back in it does not show [02:03] lol webtoe get a better client ;p [02:04] xenthro: :[[[[ no luck [02:04] WHAT!!! EMACS IS THE ONE AND ONLY CLIENT!!!!!111!! [02:04] !amsn | david_ this might get you right [02:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about amsn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:04] dang [02:04] scunizi: For both of those it returned "error fetching interface information: device not found" [02:04] I guess I have root group.. how to add admin user to root group? [02:04] david_: what's your problem with aMsn [02:05] 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 work [02:05] rhineheart_m admin users have sudo privileges, you would add a user to admin to let them sudo [02:05] Traveler4, 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] amenado: 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? [02:06] david_: is this from the ubuntu repositories? [02:06] Quick question. If I update 7.10 to 8.4 using the update tool, will it delete the contents of my /home? [02:06] aMsn i mean [02:06] marion: no [02:06] amenado, other machines on the router work fine and a direct connection to the cable modem also doesn't work .. right Traveler4? [02:06] Hi how do I install Non-English fonts pls? [02:06] Traveler0-> paste in pastebin your ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf and sudo iptables -n -vL this will assist me [02:06] nickrud, yeah I know that..but how to allow a user with sudo power to write files in a certain directory? [02:06] how do I set up VNC server with xubuntu? [02:06] webtoe...........not sure I understand the question, sorry [02:06] scunizi, amenado: That's right. [02:06] webtoe: Should I go through the trouble to move /home to a different partition? [02:07] amenado, he can't paste to the pastebin no connection even with live cd.. [02:07] doseryder-> using lsof perhaps [02:07] scunizi: I'm not really sure what a pastebin is, though. [02:07] david_ are you installing amsn from the ubuntu package manager? [02:07] or have you downloaded it from their website? keep in mind its been a [02:07] few years since i've used aMSN [02:07] rhineheart_m you would either make the directory writeable by all, or use sudo when you write to the dir. Depends on the dir [02:07] nickrud, 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] Traveler4, good luck.. this one is beyond my understanding.. pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [02:07] marion: not if you're upgrading. [02:07] Traveler4-> well you just have to be patient in copying it down to the pastebin, it helps a lot.. also describe your network setup please [02:07] webtoe...I believe so........ [02:08] shouldn't make a difference, just keep in mind you're using beta software [02:08] I 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] Traveler4, maybe save the info amenado asks for on a usb key then take it to the other machine and paste it to bastebin [02:08] get http://..... get is not coming out as a command anyone know why [02:08] * Scunizi is away: Honey Do List calls [02:08] webtoe: Thank you for your time! Much appreciated. [02:08] rhineheart_m ah. then you need to make /var/www writeable by non group or user: sudo chmod -R o+w /var/www [02:08] nickrud, 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] I'm open to suggestions as to another chat client that will allow me to chat with others on msn [02:08] david_: i may be wrong but I think aMSN uses mozilla's (or [02:08] netscape's) SSL package, so you may need that. Hang on a second and [02:08] I'll look [02:09] rhineheart_m yes, doing it specifically to one dir under www would be good [02:09] marion: no problem [02:09] CapaH, v/h rates are not the same as 1280x800@60 value.. === ubuntu is now known as mirak [02:09] scunizi: Thanks a lot, I guess I'll turn over to amenado now. [02:09] Jack_Sparrow: I am trying to set up Ubuntu to display at 1280x800 on this laptop, with a 1280x800 display -- but I cannot seem to get it to [02:09] david_ I understand that pidgin can use msn [02:09] nickrud, I want to give that privilege to a SINGLE USER.. how to do it? [02:09] xavierpwns, sorry mate, can't help then. there are far more knowledgeable people here than i [02:09] I am trying to manually set the veritical/horizontal refresh rates but I dont know how to find them [02:09] Ok when I plug it back in, I get this error "Unable to mount volume 'My Book' [02:09] mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR(usually /) [02:10] nickrud.......I tried that and got completly confused [02:10] Traveler4-> if you can somehow put it on a usb drive and copy it over to your working system then paste it in pastebin for easier reading [02:10] I'm new to linux terminology [02:10] david_: do you not want to use the aMSN from the ubuntu [02:10] repositories? Try 'sudo apt-get indtall amsn [02:10] CapaH, on laptops.. it is hard.. often it is best to leave them out and let the system try and figure it out. What video drivers did you insrall [02:10] sorry, sudo apt-get install amsn [02:10] can anyone help me set up my wireless card? i just followed the "wireless card setup" section of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575750 and still no luck :[ please just someone talk me through it and not give me an obscure website saying how [02:11] nickrud, 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] webtoe...I'll use the easiest method.... [02:11] davdi_: that will install amsn, plus any dependencies [02:11] rhineheart_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 god [02:11] Hi how do I install Non-English fonts pls? (Gnome) [02:11] amenado: I'll do that, just give me a second to find my drive. What do you need me to save? [02:11] david_ that's the easiest method [02:11] xavierpwns: What Version Of Ubuntu do you have? [02:11] lupe: 7.10 [02:11] Jack_Sparrow: It is using the nvidia restricted driver that it installed with [02:11] Traveler0-> your ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf and sudo iptables -n -vL this will assist me [02:11] join #rhythmbox [02:11] rhineheart_m sudo chown usr:usr /path/to/dir [02:11] david_ I used to use amsn all the time. Its a nice programme last [02:11] time i looked [02:11] hm. [02:11] amenado: Got it. Tell me what to do. [02:11] xavierpwns: Are you on a laptop? [02:11] Hi how do I install Non-English character fonts pls? [02:11] lupe5: yes [02:11] CapaH, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [02:12] Anyone else having a problem with rhythmbox scrobbling for last.fm? [02:12] xavierpwns: Is yor computer a Dell? [02:12] webtoe.is that a command line...typed in command.......?.......if so, I need my hand holding [02:12] lupe5: unfortunately [02:12] Traveler4-> those are the commands you type in a terminal [02:12] xavierpwns: Did Ubuntu come installed on the laptop? [02:12] Rooty: i believe you need to install the right language [02:12] pack. What language do you want to use? [02:12] lupe5: no [02:13] nickrud, it is under drupal directory... so I guess there should never be problems with it.. what do you think? all folders there are set to root group anyway... [02:13] xavierpwns: What Model is it? [02:13] k 1 sec Jack_Sparrow -- btw, cool program I didn't know about that one [02:13] saves copy pasting it into a pastebin url [02:13] david_ yes it is. Or you can use synaptic if that's more [02:13] comfortable. Have you used synaptic before? [02:13] :) [02:13] david_, aMSN works on kde3 is there a kde4? if ur using it=problem (I may be saying a complete stupidity but just saying in case it turns out to be true..) [02:13] lupe5: inspiron 1520 [02:13] Traveler4-> so it would be like ifconfig >> config.txt ; iwconfig >> config.txt ; route -n >> config.txt ; cat /etc/resolv.conf >> config.txt ; sudo iptables -vL >> config.txt [02:13] webtoe, I've no idea what you're talking about.....like I said, I'm a linux newbie [02:14] CapaH, I dont have much time, wife is putting out dinner right now. [02:14] rhineheart_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 now [02:14] Xavierpwns: Hmm.... I super good with XPS problems. let me look over the system. [02:14] I am rushing :) [02:14] had to reboot it [02:14] david_: ok. don't worry about it. We all were at some point! go to System -> Administration -> synaptic package manager [02:14] david_-> i know you are a newbie, can you read some books on ubuntu? a tutorial would be nice too [02:14] I'm having issues streaming avi, MP3, MKV and other media files from a wired Vista PC to an 8.04 Ubuntu setup that's 4 days old. I can't access the Vista PC via the network but i can mount it maually using the "Connect to server" option [02:15] lupe5: ok thanks the ubuntu just wont recognize that i have a wireless card :[ [02:15] !training | david_ [02:15] david_: A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [02:15] david_: the programme should start up after asking for your password, you can then search for amsn. Select the tick box next to the package [02:15] thankyou [02:15] http://paste.stgraber.org/2126 [02:15] nickrud, the site is already up. I just want the user to upload files/folders to a sites/all sub directory.. any idea? [02:15] Jack_Sparrow: Get that? [02:15] davdi_ if in doubt, look in synaptic for that stuff then ask here if you're still having problems [02:15] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.stgraber.org/2126 [02:15] amenado: do I type that in the terminal all at once like that or one at a time. [02:16] rhineheart_m as I said earlier :) sudo chown usr:usr /path/to/dir [02:16] CapaH, I can only take a quick look [02:16] xavierpwns: Was the Laptop purchsed in 2007/06/05/04/03, or this year? [02:16] 08 like a week ago [02:16] ok [02:16] Did you use the Live CD? [02:16] lupe5: yep [02:17] For some reason Jack_Sparrow when I try to set it to 1280x800 resolution it only allows 51hz --- not 60 [02:17] nickrud, 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] CapaH, remove lines 84 and 85... the 1280 res has too high a rate based on those v/h numbers.. make it guess.. good luck [02:17] ok doing Jack_Sparrow [02:17] rhineheart_m heresy! but yes [02:17] L33tMasta: #ubuntu+1 for that please [02:17] ok [02:17] how do I delete a swap file [02:17] ok [02:18] hmm that might have done the trick [02:18] nickrud, :) [02:18] Xavierpwns: I have three Insprions. was it the good, better, or best? [02:18] yep it did [02:18] I tried > /etc/modprobe.d/.blacklist.swp but it says Permission is denied [02:18] now I have 1280x800 resolution -- thanks Jack_Sparrow --- only prob is 51hz instead of 60 [02:18] webtoe........aMSN isn't there.......... [02:18] lupe5: i believe good. the cheapest one [02:19] Traveler4-> all at once as the terminating ; is included, if not type it one by one [02:19] ok [02:19] david_: hang on a second [02:19] CapaH, eating dinner.. you are on your own [02:19] david_: open up a terminal and type apt-cache search amsn [02:19] david_: you need to enable the Universe repository [02:20] ummm,ok [02:20] Is there a rhythmbox channel or is just the GNOME channel? [02:20] Jack_Sparrow: It is 1280x800 now so I am happy for the time :) Thank you very much for your help === java is now known as Cr4k [02:20] Er, it's probably on another server.

[02:31] webtoe,,,,I thought so...so it doesnt do an auto upgrade? [02:31] daveid_: if I were you I'd either download a newer version or buy a magazine which has it on the front cover [02:31] david_: no sorry, it doesn't [02:32] I can let it run overnight [02:32] Is there any web interface now working better with ubuntu? [02:32] david_ You can upgrade, but its not automatic. You have to tell it to upgrade to the next release. and 5.04 is v old [02:32] rhineheart_m: try ebox instead of webmin [02:32] think I'll do that then...I got time [02:32] bazhang, I tried that one and I didn't like it. I like webmin even than ebox [02:32] david_: 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 Vista [02:33] i downloaded screenlets from getdeb and its installed but how do i activate the clock on desktop?

Also, when I did the cat /etc/resolv.conf command, it came back that no such thing existed. [02:34] david_: considering you have a v old version its best. But look in your local newsagent. At my local Tesco, there are a couple of magazine offering the latest ubuntu [02:34] I'm using xchat at the moment, but i'm used to using mIRC [02:34] does anybody know if itunes will be available in an upcoming release of ubuntu? [02:34] ah preempted! [02:34] Aragorn: nay [02:34] bastid_raZor: thanks [02:34] Aragorn, mac will never make itunes for ubuntu [02:34] ok, will do.and thanks so much for your patience and help [02:34] Aragorn, try wine (program that runs windows apps in linux) [02:35] I am trying to make windows bootloader to boot ubuntu [02:35] david_ no worries, its what we're here for [02:35] deniz_ : wine wont do it [02:35] iTunes doesn't really work in wine [02:35] exactly mackid [02:35] Traveler yes, and its okay if you dont have /etc/resolv.conf [02:35] Aragorn, well r u 100% sure cuz some versions dont do it while others do [02:35] agh please someone help me set-up my wireless card [02:35] Aragorn, rhythmbox is decent, and Banshee is better but a PITA to compile and get working as of now [02:35] gotta go to bed now.clocks ahve just gone forward, and it's now 2.35 am here [02:35] mackid, amarok is an alternative to itunes [02:35] deniz__: does not period. [02:35] how do i install conky in Hardy Heron? [02:35] Aragon: itunes isn't the ideal thing to run under windows. It was hard enough for Apple to do for windows. What do you want to do and we could suggest a linux programme to do it for you [02:35] amenado: what about the syntax box? It doesn't matter? [02:35] mackid: i use rhythmbox a bit. but there are reasons why i need itunes [02:35] #ubuntu+1 please Cristatus [02:36] Cristatus; apt-get install conky [02:36] thiebaude: amaroK also uses KDE libs, which makes it retardingly bloated [02:36] david_ tell me aboutit [02:36] hehe, where are you? [02:36] Londo [02:36] thiebaude: on a gnome system, at least. [02:36] amenado: pasted [02:36] Aragorn, bazhang, y do u need itunes? cant u use a replacement? [02:36] n [02:36] aha, Warwick [02:36] Aragorn, do you buy stuff from iTunes, is that why you need it? [02:36] mackid: yeah but who uses gnome? [02:36] almost at the GMT line [02:36] will I be able to update the HH beta up to HH final without uninstalling the beta? [02:36] Does anyone know of a good 2D MMORPG, like ultima 6 or The Mana World [02:36] ok, i never noticed that when i run it on 7.10 gnome [02:36] until (well, if) linux gets itunes, i have to keep switching to windoze every now and then :( [02:36] well I want to have windows bootloader to start first and have it boot GRUB [02:36] Traveler4-> what is the link? paste it here in the channel so i can visit it [02:36] davmonster: #ubuntu+1 please [02:37] goodnight all [02:37] Boohbah: uhh this is ubuntu channel, so probably more than half the people here... I personally think GNOME is far superior to KDE [02:37] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61544/ [02:37] ah, sorry [02:37] night! [02:37] bastid_raZor, is that it? just apt-get install conky? [02:37] wireless card help anyone? [02:37] agree, mackid [02:37] mackid: KDE is prittier, [02:37] Cristatus; sudo in front of it and that should be it. [02:37] #ubuntu+1 [02:37] oops [02:37] thanks bastid_raZor [02:37] xavierpwns: What did you get? [02:37] bastid_raZor, do you know a decent IRC client for HH? [02:38] xavierpwns: did you install the drivers? [02:38] if you don't know how to install apps in command line, you might not want to use Hardy Heron, Cristatus [02:38] Lupe5: ?.. prettier?..lol, the only thing uglier than KDE is Rosie O Donnell [02:38] lupe5: the insprion chat is closed for the night :/ [02:38] is installing phpmyadmin a good idea? [02:38] i think kde has too many options or menus [02:38] As it is a beta currently [02:38] fgdfg [02:38] Cristatus: this is not the channel for Hardy [02:38] mackid: yes and its too much trouble for me to back up all my music i bought from itunes store, get it all on disc, and then get it all on rhythmbox and THEN download lastfm for ubuntu, etc. [02:38] bazhang: yes [02:38] sorry bazhang [02:38] just wondering [02:38] nef please dont [02:38] xavierpwns: Do you not get 24/7 chat support? [02:38] Cristatus: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [02:38] Aragorn, a last.fm plugin comes pre-installed with rhythmbox [02:38] Aragorn, wine 0.9.57 got a silver rating for itunes but i dont no which os http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1347 [02:38] lupe5: i was in tech support [02:38] Cristatus; i'd have to agree with bazhang .. #Ubuntu+1 will be better suited [02:39] Please don't do what? I saw something about the name being owned but wanted to see if my nick was changed or something. [02:39] mackid: also, i do something called iPod scrobbling. thats the main reason right there. i can only use itunes to do that [02:39] xavierpwns: Hmmm............ [02:39] Is installing phpmyadmin a good idea? [02:39] Aragorn, it sounds like you should use iTunes. [02:39] mackid: i do :) [02:39] Aragorn, well then, it sounds like the issue is settled. [02:39] lupe5: you said you have the same wireless card as me right? [02:40] Aragorn, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1347 <-----------Wine works with itunes [02:40] but its trouble to have to switch to windows for that, mackid. lol [02:40] Aragorn: iPod scrobbling? [02:40] i wont explain scrobbling lupe5 [02:40] Aragorn: well, then don't use iTunes. your choice. [02:40] what he heck is scrobbling? [02:40] sorry mate [02:40] scrobbling is for lastfm [02:40] Hey how can I get Windows bootloader to boot grub? [02:40] Aragorn: I've heard of people using iTunes with Wine with a good deal of success... [02:40] IndyGunFreak: syncing with last.fm [02:40] getting offtopic [02:40] never heard of that [02:40] Aragon: i personally have a mac as well as a linux box for these things! [02:40] Traveler4: i don't knwo about good deal of success... [02:40] can you scrobble your iPod tracks from amarok? [02:40] xavierpwns: Alas, no. I have the Intel® 3945 802.11a/g Mini-card [02:40] Lupe5: scrobbling is showing what tracks you've played on last.fm, which is a website that lets you share your musical tastes with your friends [02:41] nephth: well, yes [02:41] Aragorn: have youc onsidered putting XP and Itunes in Vmware, and just booting up vmware when you want to scrobble, or whatever [02:41] you can scrobble with linux [02:41] Lupe5: 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] lupe5: darn :[ i wish i would've known this was a broadcom or i never would've bught it [02:41] !ot | scrobble [02:41] mackid: yes [02:41] scrobble: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:41] Traveler4-> where is the link? [02:41] IndyGunFreak: I suppose its a bit of a hassle compared to just plugging in your iPod [02:41] Sorry for the newbie question, but how do you change this black background I have (using Pidgin)? [02:41] ya [02:41] ola [02:41] amenado: I posted it a while ago... here it is again http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61544/ [02:41] CrimsoniteX: use an IRC client..lol [02:42] if you dont know what scrobbling is, you cant help me ;) [02:42] !es | Valternaz [02:42] Valternaz: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [02:42] lol what is a good one for linux? [02:42] Hi - I'm looking for a way to make Panels completely disappear when autohide is enabled. I've set /apps/panel/global/panel_minimized_size to zero in gconf-editor and did killall gnome-panel, but to no effect... can anyone give me a hand? [02:42] !irc | CrimsoniteX [02:42] CrimsoniteX: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [02:42] Aragorn: I do that without iTunes. [02:43] Aragorn: I didn't know that's what it ment. [02:43] CrimsoniteX: you'll find most use either Xchat or irssi.. but Irssi probably isn't fo a newb [02:43] Lupe5: You CAN scrobble without iTunes [02:43] anyone here familiar with getting a broadcom wireless card to work in 7.10? [02:43] xavierpwns: should be pretty easy [02:43] Lupe5: I'm not sure you can iPod scrobble without iTunes [02:43] yeah i use xchat [02:43] !broadcom | xavierpwns [02:43] xavierpwns: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [02:43] Aragorn, i scrobble with rhythmbox in 7.10.. just get a mac and use iTunes on that, then you avoid using windows. or install VMWare. either way. [02:44] amenado: did you get it that time? [02:44] iPod scrobbling is snychronizing your iPod with [probably only] iTunes and then it all scrobbles [02:44] Traveler4-> okay, you are not getting an ip address [02:44] I burnt an iso image of ubuntu and i tried the "try ubuntu" option, but it brings me to a command prompt [02:44] Anyone know why it does that? [02:44] Hmm whats better, Xchat or LostIRC? [02:44] CrimsoniteX: xchat [02:44] CrimsoniteX: never personally used lostirc, so i'll just suggest xchat [02:44] mackid: you cant use itunes without windows [02:44] CrimsoniteX: i don't know what LostIRC is, but xchat is good [02:44] Alright thatnks, I'll be back :-) [02:44] you cannot use itunes ON linux [02:44] I burnt an iso image of ubuntu and i tried the "try ubuntu" option, but it brings me to a command prompt [02:44] amenado: Alright, and how do I fix that? [02:44] Aragorn please take that to offtopic thanks [02:44] Traveler4-> can you clarify, your pc is connected to where? and how is your existing pc you use to chat connected to the router that gets you to chat? [02:44] indygunfreak: i tried this earlier but got stuck at the "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." part. i dont have that option [02:44] Can someone help me? [02:44] Aragorn, join #ubuntu-offtopic [02:45] im talking about, you cant use lastfm on ubuntu either lol [02:45] Traveler4-> basically describe your network connectivity, devices you used, etc.. [02:45] xavierpwns: i see, i really don't have a lot of experience w/wireless, i just knew the trigger for the broadcom faq [02:45] patrickva: Do you see any errors at all? What sort of machine are you running? what version of Ubuntu?: [02:45] Aragorn, that's not true, i use it in rhythmbox [02:45] The latest version [02:45] but, about rhythmbox and amarok, i have a question [02:45] 8.04 [02:45] amenado: both the PC I am on now and the one I am trying to fix are wired in to the same router which is wired to the modem. [02:45] It shows a few errors [02:45] patrickva: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:45] but gives me a command prompt [02:45] patrickva: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [02:45] #ubuntu+1 please patrickva [02:46] indygunfreak: agh ok thanks anyways [02:46] mackid: you scrobble in rhythmbox, correct? [02:46] yes, Aragorn [02:46] ok [02:46] Aragorn: as well as amarok, exaile, sonata... and probably many others. [02:46] patrickva: if you don't want to use the development version of ubuntu, download the 07 version [02:46] mackid: have you ever tried iPod scrobbling in Rhythmbox? [02:46] How can I check if my ubuntu is 64bit or no? [02:46] Traveler4-> okay, on the ubuntu open a terminal and type this sudo -i then enter your password [02:46] Oh ,my god,I'm a Chinese ,My english is very bad [02:46] Aragorn: please take that to offtopic thanks [02:47] Pici: i know you can scrobble without itunes, but as for ipod scrobbling, probably different [02:47] Vadi: uname -a should list somethign about 64bit [02:47] !cn | wei [02:47] wei: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:47] Aragorn, I don't sync my iPod with my linux box, I have a Mac and I use that.. I have an iPhone and I seriously doubt that work on linux to its full capacity (syncing address book, calendar, videos, etc) [02:47] mackid: ok, thanks [02:47] Traveler4-> then ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 btw you are going to be root, to know you are root -- the prompt is # instead of $ [02:47] Thank you! [02:47] Vaid: it'll say something like x86_64 [02:48] so you probably cant ipod scrobble on ubuntu because it needs itunes. oh well, thanks anyway guys [02:48] minha thola [02:48] bando de fdp [02:48] this is a fairly random question, but how long do capacitors in a power supply stay charged? [02:48] !br | Valternaz [02:48] Valternaz: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:48] I need to change out the 80mm fan\ [02:48] mortal1: depends on the capacitors [02:48] mortal1-> in theory -- forever [02:48] god someone help me with this wireless card. i'm about to throw my laptop out the window === Stargazer is now known as Rezagrats [02:48] mortal1: can be up to weeks. if you're thinking of opening a power supply, don't. [02:48] Xchat works great, thanks guys. [02:48] * amenado readies outside xavierpwns window to catch a falling laptop [02:49] amenado, I'm asuming you want this in the pastebin as well to look at? [02:49] how do you change the system font for wine? [02:49] xavierpwns: what sort of wirless? did you say broadcom? it may be easier to just throw it out the window === FreeSpirit is now known as _FreeSpirit_ [02:49] Does anyone know if the wireless card (RTL8186) is compitable with Ubuntu without any additional drivers? [02:49] Hi - I'm looking for a way to make Panels completely disappear when autohide is enabled. I've set /apps/panel/global/panel_minimized_size to 0 (tried 1 aswell) in gconf-editor and did killall gnome-panel, but to no effect... can anyone give me a hand? It seems never to go any smaller than say 5 pixels wide. [02:49] Traveler4-> maybe you can tell me if you get an ip address. if you type ifconfig ? [02:49] Dont throw your laptop/ What I did is uninstalled ubuntu and reinstalled it and my wireless card worked. [02:49] ...well the thing is, it's a perfectly good working power supply, only the fan is going out, so ... [02:49] is it really that hard to set it up? [02:49] xavierpwns: where is this window? [02:49] besides xchat, what IRC clients are available for use on ubuntu? [02:49] nvclock -T reports my card being at 76C while under heavy load and normally about 67C, its a nvidia 7300gs model how would I go about underclocking it or something to fix this problem? [02:49] but yeah I've generally heard, don't open them [02:49] !irc > aragorn (aragorn, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:49] gladium et felicitas? [02:49] Aragorn: irssi, bitchx, kvirc, konversation.. [02:49] blah569: current stable version probably doesn't work great. Hardy Heron will probably support it better when it comes out [02:49] it's the window to HELL >:D [02:50] ok [02:50] * amenado readies outside xavierpwns window to catch a falling laptop as he was advise to throw it out... :) [02:50] Hey there everyone. [02:50] LjL and IndyGunFreak: thanks [02:50] LjL: !irc has no irc clients in it... [02:50] LjL: er.. I lied. [02:50] Aragorn: irssi [02:50] Pici: liar [02:50] gladium et felicitas? [02:50] Kamus_H_Zwisch: kick and ban? [02:50] Kamus_H_Zwisch: no latin please [02:51] masterEder: is irssi better than xchat? [02:51] Is anyone using the beta of 8.04? [02:51] sorry [02:51] Crimsonite: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [02:51] :D [02:51] !hardy > Crimsonite (Crimsonite, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:51] xavierpwns: to be fair, just throw it out. It was dell. Try and hit someone. It'll be funny! [02:51] is just a jke [02:51] i'll stop === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [02:51] #ubuntu+1 please Crimsonite [02:51] "Better" is an opinion! [02:51] yes, please. [02:51] Aragorn: They're different. [02:51] can i pre-order Ubuntu Hardy? [02:51] everyone: ok since a broadcom is being stubborn. anyone know an external wireless card that works flawlessly? [02:51] xavierpwns: (These comments in no way reflect the beliefs of Ubuntu or canaconical Ltd. [02:51] oh, when does hardy release? [02:51] meoblast001: ubuntu is free, and you can download a beta of hardy before it comes out [02:51] www.irssi.org ... i like it :) [02:51] april 24th [02:51] Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [02:52] how do i see what wireless card i have? [02:52] if i run binary "somebinary", who would i go about viewing the exit code for said binary? [02:52] xavierpwns: aaaaaahahahahahahahah [02:52] haha [02:52] back [02:52] again [02:52] whisperkiller: in terminal type lspci [02:52] .;p [02:52] xavierpwns: oh wait you were being serious [02:52] mackid: but the CD's that you can order for them to send you for free but you have to wait 3 weeks... can i pre-order [02:52] whisperkiller: is it usb or internal or what? [02:52] dudesmn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:52] whisperkiller-> external? you turn it upside down and read the label [02:52] huge major problem [02:52] !enter | dudesmn [02:52] dudesmn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:52] its a notebook internal [02:52] ubuntu wont boot [02:52] themime: if it doesnt tell you anything, do echo $? after it quits [02:52] lspci -vv |grep net [02:52] * Aragorn looks at list of available IRC clients for Ubuntu [02:52] whisperkiller: then lspci in a terminal will show it [02:52] oh, CDs.... i haven't used those in quite a while... [02:52] whisperkiller: [02:52] how od i check the partition for erros [02:52] webtoe: i take it there's not one of those either? [02:53] how can I make GRUB install to the MBR of my second drive so it can b loaded by Windows BootLoader?? [02:53] Tcl cannot be found on this system. < anyone know if thats in apt-get? [02:53] xavierpwns: No that's not true. I'm being cynical. I'm just expressing the problem with all wireless cards [02:53] FFVV: it is [02:53] FFVV> yes it is [02:53] what is it called? [02:53] Pici: thanks [02:53] xavierpwns: Manufacturers are always changing the actual chips in all their cards [02:53] FFVV: what are you compiling? [02:53] http://www.ircreviews.org/clients/platforms-unix.html [02:53] and usb ones are not ver well supported [02:53] its an eggdrop im doing [02:53] webtoe: ya :/ god this is ridiculous. you think i should wait until 8.04 and pray for broadcom support? [02:53] google is your friend [02:54] FFVV | !find tlc [02:54] Pici: worked perfectly, thanks again [02:54] FFVV: search for tcl, its in there. Plus eggdrop is in the repos as well. [02:54] !find tcl [02:54] Found: sh: [02:54] FFVV | !find tcl [02:54] ok [02:54] xavierpwns: the problem is that broadcom take a unique approach to wireless [02:54] how do i check the partition for erros [02:54] amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61545/ [02:54] xavierpwns: almost all the functionality of the card is kept in the firmware of the device and very little in hardware or software [02:54] Shadow420: If you are booted to ubuntu, then 'sudo grub-install /dev/sdb' Or whatever device is your second drive. [02:55] FFVV if required make the universe repo acive [02:55] webtoe: i know there is a way to get it running, but i can't find a correct walkthrough for 7.10 :[ [02:55] xavierpwns: it just so happens that hardy heron will have the latest kernel with the latest mac802 whatever layer in it which will make wireless easier [02:55] i can't find it, theres so much stuff, does anyone know the exact name? its 3 am and im sooo tired lol [02:55] Traveler4-> this is an wired ethernet interface right not a wireless? [02:55] xavierpwns: you could look at ndiswrapper. It works for lots of chipsets and just requires the windows driver [02:55] FFVV: best to sleep we will be here when you get up [02:56] FFVV: use the search tool, search for tcl. Or just install eggdrop out of the repositories. [02:56] how do i check the ubuntu partition for erros [02:56] amenado: That is correct. [02:56] FFVV: do you have build-essential installed? [02:56] webtoe: i have the windows driver. could you walk me through ndiswrapper? [02:56] webtoe: since when has there been a new development in wireless drivers? [02:56] xavierpwns: I can try but keep in mind its been a little while since I've used it [02:56] webtoe: i'll take anything right now :] just try [02:56] Traveler4-> you are on livecd or an installed ubuntu? [02:56] FFVV: « aptitude search '^tcl.*-dev$' » You probably need one of those [02:57] Boohbah: since the latest release (beta) [02:57] boohbah: 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 intel [02:57] amenado: installed, but it wouldn't work on the livecd either. [02:57] has anybody installed gtag on ubuntu? [02:57] xavierpwns: let me get another beer then lets have a look if you're brave enough... [02:57] webtoe: haha ok :] i think i am [02:57] amazen720: what is gtag and what do you want to do [02:58] so, intel mac users only? [02:58] Traveler4-> since it is installed, paste the contents of /etc/network/interfaces ie cat /etc/network/intefaces and lshw -c network [02:58] how do i check the ubuntu partition for errors [02:58] !fsck | dudesmn [02:58] dudesmn: 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 reboot [02:58] xavierpwns: have you got ndiswrapper installed? [02:58] how do you install gtag, on ubuntu? [02:59] webtoe: i'm not sure. how can i check for sure? [02:59] amazen720: please answer my question first [02:59] boohbah: 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 medium [02:59] bazhang:didnt see your question [02:59] xavierpwns: the easiet way is apt-get install ndiswrapper [02:59] amazen720: scroll up [02:59] hello [02:59] amenado: So I type cat /etc/network/interfaces; lshw -c network [02:59] it will tell you whether its already installed [03:00] Traveler4-> hang on, the lshw is not correct [03:00] oh teh media access control..

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 implement [03:01] Boohbah: ya.. like that i can display in a term on my desktop [03:01] !fsck | CookieMonster [03:01] CookieMonster: 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 reboot [03:01] bazhang: at tags to mp3 files, so that when I add to rhythbox or itunes the picture shows up [03:01] bazhang: add* [03:01] fuhreal: If you want to watch kernel calls by particular processes have a look at the strace command. [03:01] amazen720: is it in the repos? if so sudo apt-get install packagename [03:02] ok now what if i cant boot into ubuntu [03:02] xavierpwns: sorry, you need sudo in front. sudo apt-get install [03:02] Anybody up for a mind bender?

[03:06] amenado: I know that [03:06] thanks Pici and amenado [03:06] hey is the tcl lib in apt? [03:06] mozilla 2.12 [03:06] REDLiNE: yes...... [03:06] webtoe: lol :] should i have tried ndiswrapper-common? [03:06] xavierpwns: yes [03:06] can 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] Pici i did the search cmd it comes up with like 50lines..... [03:06] prettyricky: nope, but you got the konqurer browser, that uses KHTML, that is the stuff webkit is based on [03:07] xavierpwns: i'm just looking to see what else you need. Think you also need ndiswrapper-utils and module [03:07] what would the name be? [03:07] webtoe: ok well i have ndiswrapper-common [03:07] yeah I was just trying to see if I can get Safari [03:07] xavierpwns: ok [03:07] REDLiNE: tcl perhaps [03:07] shadeofgrey: 11 [03:07] REDLiNE: try tcl8.4 and tcl8.4-dev [03:08] has anyone ever installed 'gtag' on Ubuntu 7.10? [03:08] amazen720: What is gtag? [03:08] xavierpwns: ok also install ndiswrapper-utils [03:08] prettyricky: 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 safari [03:08] Booh - what if i killed vista entirely? [03:08] amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61546/ [03:08] prettyricky - 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 specially [03:08] thanks for the info! [03:08] webtoe: it ways ndiswrapper-common replaces ndiswrapper-utils [03:08] yeah I tried that didn't like it [03:09] thank you though [03:09] says* [03:09] ~/wc [03:09] Starnestommy done that now were would it have been installed the lib file right? [03:09] Pici: suppose to allow you to tag files, like mp3 files with (artist)(Genre) [03:09] amazen720: the 'tagtool' package from the universe repository looks like a solid equivalent to gtag. [03:09] any good ubuntu games [03:09] Boohbah, could you point me in the direction of instructions? [03:09] xavierpwns: 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 next [03:09] shadeofgrey: my guess is that he's joking, because of the "8.10"... it's 8.04 [03:10] REDLiNE: maybe /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so [03:10] amazen720: I dont see it in the repositories, but other tagging programs exists, like easytag [03:10] andash, well that still doesnt get me any closer to the end goal [03:10] stroyan: thanks I'll check it out [03:10] Traveler4-> 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] xavierpwns: you'll also need the windows driver for your card. Notably, you need the .inf file [03:10] shadeofgrey: no of course not. i have no experience with bootcamp, so i can't help you. sorry [03:11] webtoe: i've got ndiswrapper-common already installed. there's no way to install the -utils [03:11] capgadget dgtlchlk `twenty luna fossile Abobo F3d0rA rodserling jianfei Nith shadeofgrey Fersure astro76 Hajiki __mikem jaffarkelshac ijustam bmk789 dv2000_ Sinister amazen720 aoeuid snoopy FFVV themime unop whisperkiller xerophyte aoshi Chris| MattRyan meoblast001 mqueiros_ artfullylost FloodBot Juuso oshiii-_^ xb3rt insiderboy masterloki GB-man gluer binarydigit mboldisc whitty YeaSt b0x prettyricky DFlame Mr_Bad_News sk8ball_ eliad Luckr [03:11] jmesquita Luke__ octavius siofwolves chook1 AirBender taranto SkywaIker phizzalot Kickboy Krstfrs__ erstazi sys192 Seb78 Ttech Ax-Ax kristjans chdst hon ajksdflkj c0yote Joeb454 elpargo smmahmoo cowbud novacrust ^root^ tc111 visik7 dtad TrevorP TheArthur OmIkRoNiXz Boohbah FunnyLookinHat bitterbug Sopor [03:11] thanks [03:11] #ubuntu kb1cvh Shadow420 Cristatus Linuxgaspesi41 bloodboy Nyx- croppa cesurasean Titanium2204 DBO sabhain HoboBen Meatgrinder BigAdmin ubuntucool123 skmidry delcoyote jm azure Rezagrats Ashfire908 cyclonut SlicerDicer cosmo__ recon emma dv2000 ibou nandemonai wers Cygoku blu2 doofus123 mirak Rprp rhineheart_m Thirsteh xavierpwns harlan_ akafurious sn00zer wt8008 DoYouKnow iv01 phantom__ Traveler4 anteaya Borin__ mttr fvwmnet pt999 ChrisGib [03:11] #ubuntu akaineko Roconda PurpleBlu ProN00b Python1320 izibi TMN theaber vijay xtr-II rp3 eggauah Pabo solid_liquid voici PiRANiA komputes ArmedKing speps the_alamo Devourer caffeineguy- dashua remino_ playya kumarphilly UB` xal _coredump_ AxeZ kalpik rafailowski JMiller Raph Marcelo garamis j_ack rpedro__ hpnadig Ze_Colmeia kaudio nixeagle Pici dan_ kri NDPTAL85 riotkittie milardovich TheAsp PhilKC blan SeanTater palomer GWild gardar Tortured [03:11] <`twenty> n Zambezi Dave2 fduplex eracc azuki elmargol pocukrani mad_max02 SWAT stevewhite vorian Spec packetscan mmeiser-ubuntu andash Nakkel Corty Mez ronnie starscalling humblerodent Xteven sunbird Asfaloth mwti ceil420 Filbert SoftCore cpTanis voidmage mneptok bauer_ ace2001ac Kr0ntab tsai_ cpk1 fronter Azer [03:11] #ubuntu ZeZu Forza4Life MidnighToker webtoe tankmech Bluesdrive alqua kmk67 yylex inimesekene Kamus_H_Zwisch hook0 Aragorn grubby CapaH jono hjertnes ani1 crdlb davmonster con-man Serveck eiki Condoulo macd_ Yancho marx2k allquixotic Varox_NB acetaminophen Lleumas lipsin patlkli gordon soneil tempeldirne MEtaLpREs__ neverblue Pooky Juhaz rhavenn CFNRL AlexHoover Christoz [gquit]bombadil jimcooncat kyzen b0ha crackhead_25 Pthag Pichu0102 Ant [03:11] #ubuntu alvarezp marko-_-__ joakim` UbuntuWalter sharperguy zn3t os2mac mactimes xpoint luckylin aRyn Cato9021 Adys CelticSoul delskorch elrob crackerjackz [PUPPETS]Gonzo ed_ _max_ foka_ magic_ninja jeegr linxeh_ Gary chaky LollinopiL siriusnova mikearr encryptz jrib elkbuntu Odd-rationale master_o1_master Mhz wobblywu ke- Johnny_5 osama Pinky misnix ArmoredSaint MattJ Paraselene_ unzzi zelrikriando svu jussio1 skarface nikki8965 lagann_ madma [03:11] <`twenty> #ubuntu cappiz sparkleytone tino MindScape sdh IRSeekBot Flannel fr0nk_ kenade c9s rolf_ rryan Colonel_Panic dopez angusb RaNdY nixternal sjoerd shoot^ Dave123 shinygerbil kraut william_ QMario cptmorgan overdub maronnax cyzie r- praet keith80403 dvandyk Homee_dc2 Wanderer dngr andylockran ph8_ gumpish LiraNuna seanw xiO__ marlun acalbaza amerinese maff t0h redbox myrtion ZoiX Uatec schweeb Rhihannisu ubotu lightrush AndrewB wswanson mindfr [03:11] holy hell [03:11] what in the hell [03:11] wow [03:11] wtf [03:11] ???

[03:19] xavierpwns: does it list your card and an 'ok'? [03:19] talntid: the dell 1395? what does lspci say about that card in the terminal (just one line) [03:20] wil: well try downloading the .tar then, its probably just ./configure, make, sudo make install [03:20] whisperkiller-> visit that directory first [03:20] amenado, I've got you and Traveler4 listed for highlighting.. I'm interested in the solution.. [03:20] amenado: I'm not sure what you want me to paste, though. The only thing it returned was "is a directory" [03:20] webtoe: it says my driver is installed but my windows as an invalid driver o.0 wtf? [03:20] whisperkiller-> and you should see your wireless chip listed there [03:20] xavierpwns: it should say "driver installed" and on the next line "ddevice present" [03:21] amenado i dont understand how to get there [03:21] could anyone help me out with some quaestions about my wireless?? [03:21] do i enter the command as written on cd? [03:21] xavierpwns: hmmm, that's odd. Must think that your windows driver isthe wrong one. Or that its missing some important files [03:21] Traveler4-> am expecting as minimum an lo -- lo is loopback interface and it should exist on that directory, since it doesnt, something is amiss [03:21] khaotik: ask, and if someone knows they will answer [03:22] xavierpwns: did the .inf file come with any other files? and if so, are they in the same folder as the .inf? [03:22] whisperkiller-> change directory == cd [03:22] I have got a "kernel panic" now, I .. Accidently shut down while Synaptic still was operating. Anything I can do?

[03:22] webtoe: hold on let me try something [03:22] amenado: Yeah... so what would the next step be? [03:22] amenado, I know I have a loop back and I only got "Is a directory" when initiating that command. [03:22] talntid: the dell 1395 is the broadcom card [03:22] whisperkiller-> yes, and should see a list of chips names.. [03:22] pici i need the chipset for the wireless card [03:23] I have a question regarding VNC: I installed 8.04 on a PC, and I can vnc into the machine to "share" the desktop with the logged on user; but I want to be able to VNC into an entirely new session...so two people can use the computer at the same time.

[03:24] well 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?

[03:25] whisperkiller-> match it with lshw -C network names should be related to what is listed [03:25] thanks [03:25] a .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 problem [03:25] amenado: ah, that's different. Let me try that.

[03:25] xavierpwns: well maybe it just hates you then... [03:26] xavierpwns: let me have a think [03:26] webtoe: that's what im thinking :[ this is horrible [03:26] Wil, are you still here?

[03:29] whisperkiller: yes [03:29] whisperkiller: indeed === reconnect is now known as recon [03:29] thanks guys [03:30] i appreciate it [03:30] whisperkiller: the best there is [03:30] xavierpwns: That's a shame. Unfortunately wifi makers left us up a certain creek without a paddle and broadcom can be a bit of a pain due to how they make their cards [03:30] Jeffreyf, 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 it [03:30] Xavierpwns: sorry i couldn't be more help but please try again with the next release and we'll try again! [03:30] the open source community is nothing if not persistent.... [03:30] webtoe: exactly :/ i'll try with Dell tomorrow when they are open and see what they can do. thanks for trying. :] you've been the most help i've had all day [03:30] Pelo: that will never happen ;] [03:31] Traveler4-> 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] wil: 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 case [03:31] webtoe: could you tell me if i am doing something wrong trying to install my broadcom driver? [03:31] bazhang, it's just that the questions here are getting harder and harder, and I'm not that 1337 to begin with [03:31] Traveler4-> i suspect its the cable not connected to the router, or not plugged in tight, loose connection perhaps? [03:32] Pelo: just wait for wubi support ;] [03:32] i was just in #K3B [03:32] bazhang: who makes that chipset? [03:32] khaotik: throw it out the window [03:32] and everyone is away and i cant burn a dvd-rw [03:32] khaotik: I might be able to but I don't have a broadcom chip so I can only offer adivce, not tell you what to do [03:32] amenado, good thought.. "Make sure it's plugged in".. or maybe there's a power outage :) [03:32] amenado: 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] whisperkiller: intel and it is the best supported in linux/ubuntu bar none [03:32] i got my drive to burn a cd-rw [03:32] bazhang, does the word "NEVER !!" mean anything to you ? [03:32] does aircrack-ng support it? [03:32] Pelo: ;] [03:32] but im going to reinstall ubunto so that i can install winxp 2 [03:33] enyone know how to get k3b to burn a dvd-rw [03:33] Jeffreyf, thanks so much! I can't believe I didn't try this earlier.... doesnt need converting or anything! virtualbox supports vmdk files out of the box! I just set the hard drive file to it and it works straight away! brilliant, thanks [03:33] amenado: 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] amenado, maybe manually setting ip & dns [03:33] Traveler4-> try switching the cables, one from a working unit [03:33] robby_kane: do windows first then ubuntu will be easiest [03:33] thats what i am about to do xavier. see whats bothering me is i had it working seamless due to this thread i read. after i did a reboot it does not work [03:33] Nothing has changed since this morning. [03:33] im a net-sec student and im trying to put together a security suite together [03:33] Traveler4-> try switching the cables, one from a working unit..just for kicks.. [03:33] robby_kane: shouldn't be any problem if you have dvd writer that supports dvd-rw [03:33] ya but i want to burn stuff to a dvd-rw [03:33] i am doing the exact same thing i did when i got the light to turn blue [03:33] robby_kane, you just select the drive to burn to after you hit the burn button [03:33] has nothing to do with installing windows [03:34] i did [03:34] it dowent want to burn to the dvd [03:34] the dvd is empty [03:34] robby_kane, there should be a menu entry in tools to format the rw media [03:34] amenado: That's a rather difficult thign with the way this network is set up... but I'll see what I can do. [03:34] Traveler4-> possibly the port on that router has gone bad or just faulty for now? reset the router too..offcourse youd get disconnected here temporarily [03:34] cant its blank [03:34] rofl [03:34] it wont let me [03:34] amenado: I'll be back in a little bit, I suppose.

[03:36] * Scunizi is back (gone 01:27:48) [03:36] Jeffreyf, doesnt work after all... it boots up, but then I get ... PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel. [03:36] robby_kane, whatare you tring to burn to the media ? [03:36] i think i have tried every thread there is on the subject. i have tried every single way that i have read about and still nothing [03:36] Scunizi-> been on installs that extends way past midnight because of loose wiring..

[03:37] usser cool [03:37] i did [03:37] it wont burn [03:37] robby_kane, and yes it does matter , wheter you are trying to burn music, data , or iso [03:37] Scunizi-> what is worst is when patch panels are not labeled and you have to trace it yourself under the spaghettis of wiring [03:37] data right now [03:37] is there no help for this problem? maybe i should be googling threads on how to reinstall vista [03:37] but iv also tryed an iso [03:38] amendo: Amen bruuuther!!! [03:38] robby_kane, re you sure you don'T have the tryout thingy enabled, ? check the various options as you go [03:38] when i go to burn it just ejects the disk [03:38] Haloo test [03:38] amenado, I've only seen those.. never worked on them.. spaghetti is right [03:38] keith: success [03:38] amendo: you should see my office... [03:38] robby_kane, did you think that the meida might be damaged ? [03:38] it reads as blank [03:38] khaotik, what is your issue again ? [03:38] iv never burned enything [03:38] someone could make tons of money, with non tearing labels and labels all these cables in the wiring closet...hmm an idea. [03:39] robby_kane, get a regular dvd to burn to [03:39] robby_kane: try another disk [03:39] im out of disks [03:39] patch panels should always be labeled [03:39] :( === ryan_ is now known as fara [03:39] amendo: look on slashdot. They;ve had huge conversations on just that sort of thing before [03:39] hey robby what is your problem ? [03:39] in theory.. :) [03:39] i might have the same problem as you [03:39] when i go to burn k3b says there is an error [03:39] robby_kane: no way to buy more? [03:39] i had my broadcom chip working fine. i found a thread that worked. then i had to do a full reinstall of ubuntu and now the same way does not work [03:39] and ejects the disk [03:39] oh..

Depends if the version has changed. When it does its called a regression. let me have a look at that look and maybe i can help. Otherwise maybe keep googling? [03:43] Shit, well, sorry guys.

[03:58] SO if my Grpahics card will display up to 1900 x 1200 that does not mean that it will be available because of my LCD? [03:59] wers: you have to download the plugin pack from their website and compile it yourself [03:59] Will I at least see all the resolutions or not in the display properties? [03:59] Or only see what is supported? [03:59] F3d0rA: you can display the maximum resolution that both your monitor and graphics card can support === tpw_rules_ is now known as tpw_rules [04:00] hm, so if my monitor does not support 1900 x 12000 I will not see that option in the graphics card display properites? [04:01] Reason I ask is I thought it was available and did a firmware update and thought that might have changed its display proerty settings I could be wrong [04:01] F3d0rA: No there would be no point. That and it could be potentially dangerous to display it (in the old days ofCRT anyway) [04:02] hey all, quick question (Hopefully).. why does firefox not accept the no-download java on partypoker? [04:02] F3d0rA: updated what firmware? its possible that a driver update has decided that a particular card can't actually support a certain mode [04:02] dont recommended to play poker on internet [04:03] doni't gamble at all! i hear its addictive.... :P [04:03] anyone mind helping me with my internal mic issue on a hp dv6000 laptop with the alsa 1.0~14 driver? the internal mic used to work and it seems that after the update i can't get it working.

[04:06] rebooting [04:06] what do u need sudo for? [04:06] deniz_ your card needs to be put in monitor mode using airmon-ng. It may not support this.

[04:23] fyrstorm: hang on a sec. Just reading up about your card. Think it coudl be more to do with driver support than anything [04:24] can you type the command dmesg for me. and look for something talking about your wireless card? [04:24] webtoe, if I started in recovery console do I need to start the networking daemon? === ethan961_ is now known as ethan961 [04:24] okay um [04:25] Web_Warlord: dmesg | grep Wireless might help with that [04:25] !pod [04:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about pod - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:25] I'm trying to get Quake source ports to build by using "make" [04:25] but every single time, it gives me a load of errors [04:25] Flynsarmy i have the drivers downloaded i'm just not sure what to do now [04:25] cause [04:25] and I've tried about 8 different ports that all screw up [04:25] there are these files [04:25] so I'm thinking it's an OS problem [04:25] and i don't know what to do with them [04:25] Web_Warlord: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:25] is there a way i can load my windows NeverWinterNights onto ubuntu [04:25] Just a quick ThankYou to the ones who told me how to block websites and keywords in my WRT54G :-) it works! No more p2p networks at this IP :-) [04:25] the terminal is spitting out a load of errors [04:26] webtoe, basically I totally screwed xorg and need to get networking going to try and recover it [04:26] Is hardy being released 4/1? [04:26] fyrstorm: no there is no networking daemon per se. Just a load of scritps that usually get run. [04:26] blbrown, 4/24 or something like that [04:26] fystorm: then you ned to get your machine to start you up in a console mode [04:27] fyrstorm: while in recovery mode, use the command nano /etc/inittab [04:27] is there a way to load games onto ubuntu? [04:27] khaotik: neverwinternights 1 should have no problem running in wine [04:27] webtoe, I am in console [04:27] i have never used wine [04:27] does anyone know how to get stuff to build?

[04:27] !hardy [04:27] 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 #ubuntu [04:27] because no matter what I try to build using "make", I always get a long string of errors [04:28] do i insert the disk into my drive and let it run, or do i open wine to install [04:28] ? [04:28] also when i click on a mp3 file it changes from a music not to a sheet of paper and wont do anything [04:28] khaotik: well its easy just head on to winehq.com grab the latest .deb install it [04:28] khaotik: Wine just works with Windows stuff [04:28] also um [04:28] anyone know of decent sound drivers? [04:28] the default stuff (ALSA) seems to just crackle like a campfire [04:28] hardy is lts cool [04:28] Kles, running configure should catch missing packages. running make and getting errors usually means the wrong dev packages are installed [04:28] and it's driving me nuts [04:28] khaotik: and then when you pop in cd just right click autorun there should be open with... type in wine [04:29] orbisvicis: How do I do that? [04:29] much appreciated. will give it a try [04:29] Graphics Question: I'm wanting to animate a bunch of 2d graphics into a high-res (HDTV) canvas. Source format is SVG, output format is sequence of frames in PNG. Any animation program suggestions? Tried Synfig (no go, since it doesn't import SVG), Blender (doable, but way too complicated for my needs), and GIMp Animation Package (poor documentation, can't figure out how to use it). Is there anything else? [04:29] can someone please help me? I get this error when trying to start X: http://pastebin.ca/962946 :) [04:29] Kles, for starters sudo apt-get build-dep XX, then google [04:29] is the "XX" something I have to fill in [04:29] or do I add that on there [04:30] fill in [04:30] anybody know how to set up my laptop to act as an access point? [04:30] Peddy: are you unable to start X at all? [04:30] erm [04:30] where do I find what to fill in to "XX" [04:30] fyrstorm: did your wireless work fine before you broke X? [04:30] it looks like that isn't a big problem (that error message), since it says "fixing" [04:30] Kles, synaptic. Say vlc, you want to compile. first you need the dependencies [04:31] webtoe, yes, but with NM [04:31] kles, so apt-get build-dep vlc [04:31] so erm [04:31] then is svn you might need random other libraries, so apt-cache search XX [04:31] is "XX" the folder that it's in? [04:31] XX = package name [04:31] so basically, the documentation hasn't been of use i have the drivers downloaded and need to install them, not sure HOW to install them though [04:31] oh [04:31] THEO|WxC, the cursor and a bakground just shows up. and it stays like that. [04:31] fyrstorm: 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] THEO|WxC but I can log in through gnome [04:32] fyrstorm: are you not able to ping anything? [04:32] webtoe, no and when I do iwconfig I have no connection, it [04:32] kles, elsewhere. if its a disaster, shout my name [04:32] uhh [04:32] Peddy: 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. [04:33] if you are having a problem, it is probably something else. [04:33] where can i find a tcl script for eggdrop that answer to comands(like !cmd)? [04:33] okay what exactly is the "package name" [04:33] I have a problem with my volume settings where about 80% on the slider = 0% volume [04:33] webtoe, as far as X, I deleted a bunch of stuff and I am trying to rebuild it but I need to get connected [04:33] Peddy: you are trying to start X from the command line? [04:33] this comes in a folder called "tyrquake-0.58" [04:33] but that's not the package name [04:33] this is so confusing X_X [04:33] and 90% on the slider = 50% volume. 100=100 === ethan961 is now known as TheEasterBunny [04:33] if so, there are usually a few commands and stuff you need to use. [04:34] fyrstorm: just as a quick aside, it might be quicker to plug in an ethernet cable and do it that way [04:34] THEO|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] Flynsarmy: check PCM and Master volumes [04:34] Flynsarmy: and PCM is maxed out too? [04:34] I 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] Flynsarmy: when you double click on your mixer [04:34] webtoe, I'll give it a try. If that works you want to help fix X? ;) [04:34] orbisvicis: Where would I find the "package name" exactly? [04:35] fyrstorm: i can give it a go. Also, you may want to do sudo /etc/init.d/networking start [04:35] Kles: just a rough guess usually pops up the right package [04:35] Peddy: 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] well, nothing has [04:35] HELP AGAIN: Firefox is loading REALLY slow :( what can be the problem? [04:35] I can't help you much there, since it's been many many years since i've had to run multiple X servers, [04:35] fyrstorm: 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 sorted [04:35] the folder name doesn't work [04:35] where can i find a tcl script for eggdrop that answer to comands(like !cmd)? [04:35] dropping the version number won't work [04:36] being very simple with it won't work [04:36] but 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] usser: PCM is at 100. Master is at 90. To get sound working i had to do this: sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-generic [04:36] kenny: in terminal type killall -9 firefox, this will kill all instances of firefox after that try to launch it again [04:36] aaaaargh [04:36] killall -9 firefox-bin [04:36] because X servers use ports, files, and all sorts of stuff that has to be set up separately for a 2nd server. [04:37] Kles, 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 make [04:37] I'm trying to compile this: http://disenchant.net/files/engine/tyrquake-0.58.tar.gz [04:37] webtoe, I broke it trying to get fglrx installed from .deb I am trying to get OpenGL working for games. [04:37] I went in to the readme of that [04:37] usser, process not killed! [04:37] and it simply said "just typing make at the console should work" [04:37] and it hasn't. [04:37] * Web_Warlord kills himself [04:37] THEO|WxC, I know, startx /usr/bin/gnome-wm -- :2 does not work, either (it starts gnome and gets stuck) [04:37] Flynsarmy: 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 card [04:38] kenny: killall -9 firefox-bin [04:38] fyrstorm: what sort of ati card do you have? [04:38] kenny: what damo22 says [04:38] hi, 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] kenny: sudo rm -rf / [04:38] patrickva: wtf man [04:38] damo22, anyway not killed? no ther reasons? [04:38] fyrstorm: some of them have flakey fglrx drivers. My bosses laptop won't use any decent resolutions because of it [04:38] Oh sorry [04:39] Wrong channel [04:39] haha [04:39] yo peoples what's ubuntus metapackage for compilers: g++ bison yacc ld etc ? [04:39] :D [04:39] wth you would type that in any channel [04:39] Because it rulez [04:39] orbisvicis: I think you looking for build-essential [04:39] patrickva: dont write that in here [04:39] webtoe, and the wired ethernet didn't work. I think it's because I am in recovery console from grub. The card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 and it is flaky but has worked in the past. [04:39] Peddy: sorry I can't help more, but I'm sure that font thing isn't the problem. [04:39] Kles, do you have build-essential package ? [04:39] orbisvicis: build-essential [04:39] fyrstprm: ohhhhh [04:40] thanks Flannel usser [04:40] anyone have a fav 2d animation program?

[04:41] Kles, only for a while.. espicially when coming from windows. [04:41] fyrstorm: 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 line [04:41] THEO|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 server [04:41] Xlib: No protocol specified [04:41] kenny: well try opera [04:41] well I'll be quite honest [04:41] fyrstorm: ctrl-alt-f2 [04:41] so is there a terminal command or something to load drivers that i have downloaded? [04:41] kenny: opera.com the installation is pretty straightforward [04:41] I'm only on Linux because my XP key has run out of damn validations [04:41] usser, can I download it through aptitude? [04:41] because this computer is so unstable that I've had to reinstall it repeatedly [04:42] kenny: yes after you add opera.com repo [04:42] and Ubuntu has been nothing but a nonstop headache for me [04:42] kenny: one sec [04:42] Kles: call microsoft then, they will give you the code you need [04:42] Web_Warlord: what are you trying to do ? [04:42] fyrstorm: then type single at the end of the line [04:42] well, I bought a new one [04:42] damo22, tried that too [04:42] but I'm waiting for my new motherboard to arrive so I can build my new computer [04:42] fyrstorm: then press 'b' to boot from that line [04:42] hopefully TigerDirect doesn't ship me more busted parts [04:42] let's see, broken motherboard, opened up and stuffed 8600, case with a massive dent in it [04:42] fyrstorm: does your keyboard have F-lock? [04:42] init 5 is pure cl right? or is it 3? [04:42] yeah, great damn service [04:42] X_X [04:43] fyrstorm: sorry, press enter to confirm your edit. Then press 'b' to boot from that line [04:43] Kles: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:43] Kles, that's too bad.. linux is about as stable as you'll get.. Tigerdirect is pretty good. I'v built several machines from them [04:43] yeah, that's the weird thing [04:43] they've always been very reliable with me [04:43] mattias i am trying to install drivers so i can have wireless internet and i can't figure out how to install them :( [04:43] but lately? just horrendous [04:43] Scunizi, i avoid tigerdirect like the plague [04:43] as for linux being stable? ehhhh [04:43] from my experience [04:43] I've had to restart Pidgin and Firefox repeatedly because they just stop redrawing the screen === TheEasterBunny is now known as TheEasterBunnay [04:44] Kles, you gotta get use to it.. once there it just works.. sounds like a vid card issue. [04:44] and as I've said before, listening to anything is impossible [04:44] kenny: 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 partner [04:44] [04:44] Stroganoff: hey thanks a million! it's so much better now [04:44] webtoe, ok it's trying to boot. [04:44] kenny: after added it do sudo apt-get update [04:44] because if I have a program open more than a minute, the sound just starts cracking like a camp fire [04:44] Kles: do you have an ubuntu support question? [04:44] kenny: and apt-get install opera [04:44] i'm trying to install ubuntu on my intel iMac, but the graphical instaler won't work. What do i do? [04:44] well, I did [04:44] usser, thanks [04:44] Transience: Try the alternate CD [04:44] I'm installing new packages to see if something works [04:45] fyrstorm: it should dump you at a command console [04:45] alternate cd? [04:45] Kles, what are you trying to get working [04:45] webtoe, blackscreen and hdd has stopped spinning with no console. Let's try again [04:45] trying to build some things [04:45] I'm just waiting for the stuff to install [04:45] Transience: ya man, the alternate is awesome [04:45] although in the mean time, might as well ask another question [04:45] what is the best general sound driver [04:45] Kles: try to keep your responses on a single line [04:46] or, at least, how can I get ALSA to not crackle [04:46] Kles: chipsets with ac'97 and successors work the best [04:46] Kles: bah sorry, wrong question, well ALSA is the way to go [04:46] Kles, the default work just fine.. in the next upgrade .. hardy.. they will change it from alsa to pulseaudio [04:46] webtoe, I want to edit the "kernel" line or "initrd"? [04:46] fyrstorm: the kernel line [04:46] Scunizi: No, I can't listen to anything that isn't a sound effect [04:47] fyrstorm: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-8-386 or somethign similar [04:47] music or any consistent sound is so distorted that I have to mute it [04:47] even with my headphones next to me on the desk, I can't stand it [04:47] Kles: ya, you could install pulseaudio, I had the same crackling problem on my Dell 5100 [04:47] hmmm [04:47] i need to purge a certain package without removing dependencies, how do i do this ? [04:47] Kles: there is a great how to [04:47] Kles, sounds like you have all kinds of issues with this machine. [04:47] hehe [04:47] Scunizi: There's a reason I just busted in to another channel and typed "EVERYTHING IS BROKEN" [04:48] Kles, like cdecarlo said . you can install pulseaudio [04:48] orbisvicis: dependencies won't get removed. Do you mean reverse dependencies? Anyway, why do you want to? Be more specific [04:48] webtoe, now when I open it up the 'single' that I added last time is not there. [04:48] !pulseaudio [04:48] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [04:48] fyrstorm: yeah its not saved, you have to add it every time to the kernel line [04:49] fyrstorm: it should tell the computer to boot into single user mode [04:49] jrib, 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 up [04:49] anyone know a good program like 'kismet' but simpler to use =/ [04:50] orbisvicis: what package is this? [04:50] carlzenox, good people dont need kismet [04:50] jrib, libjack, jackd [04:50] orbisvicis: just look an the contents of the packages at http://packages.ubuntu.com [04:50] orbisvicis: why not reinstall and then remove the extra stuff? [04:51] what would be the bash equivalent of this z shellwhile (sleep 100 &!) do; done [04:51] fyrstorm: i'm really sorry but I might ahve to go in a minute. Its nearly five in the morning here and still haven;t slept yet [04:51] while (sleep 100 &!) do; done [04:51] Stroganoff, unfortuantely the packages share the same names and locations [04:51] Help please. I've messed up the file permissions on /home/jonathan and now I cant start any applications to put it right - not even terminal. [04:51] anaoum: try #bash [04:51] thanks [04:51] flannel? [04:51] webtoe, ok that didn't work, but, I did ctrl-alt f2 and it is stalled at " kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot..." and nothing is happening. [04:52] JonathanEllis: how did you mess them up? What exactly did you type? [04:52] jrib, i jave tried to reinstall - which should overwrite the files - but no luck [04:52] orbisvicis: sudo apt-get reinstall [04:52] k [04:52] webtoe, ouch. get some sleep. I am sure someone else can help out [04:52] * Web_Warlord rekills himself cause he is starving from lack of wireless [04:53] webtoe, If all else fails I will do a fresh install. [04:53] flannel is the best helper ever! [04:53] JonathanEllis, sudo init 0 and sudo chown -r user:group ~/ [04:53] wait i think init 0 [04:53] orbisvicis: why? [04:53] better no init 1 [04:53] fyrstorm: ok dokey. SOrry, usually these things can be fixed but its not easy if you don't know how [04:53] night all [04:54] jrib, why what ? [04:54] webtoe, night thanks for trying. [04:54] orbisvicis: why are you suggesting that to JonathanEllis? [04:54] how do you recover data from a linux partition [04:54] hey all, can someone help me to figure out why Umbuntu running on VMware server has no interent access? [04:54] jrib, quick and simple to go to single user mode and recover ownership [04:54] When you download a package to install where should it go? [04:54] sy001 [04:55] orbisvicis: if he can sudo, then why would he need to go to single user mode? [04:55] CookieMonster: can you boot a live cd? [04:55] yes [04:55] but the live cd canot see the partition [04:55] cameo357, what did you download..from synaptic.. add/remove// or website [04:55] or reaad it [04:55] jrib, he cant access bash [04:55] website [04:55] orbisvicis: so how will he run those commands [04:55] jrib, init 1 [04:55] CookieMonster: could you mount the partition> [04:55] ? [04:56] ummm [04:56] So webtoe was trying to help me work through my disaster. Anyone else want to try it? [04:56] idunno [04:56] cameo357, well then it would depend on how your Firefox is setup. look in FF options for the download location [04:56] i can see the partition in windows [04:56] but [04:56] only as RAW data [04:56] it cannot access the files either [04:56] when I run grub-install /dev/sdb1 I get could not find device for /boot Not found or not a block device [04:56] and grub wont install either [04:56] ok ty [04:56] !enter | CookieMonster [04:56] CookieMonster: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:56] CookieMonster: do you know where the parttion is /dev/hdaX? [04:56] cameo357, what did you download.. [04:56] nope [04:57] * Dipingo loves channel bots [04:57] CookieMonster: so you're dual booting? win/ubuntu? [04:57] when I run grub-install /dev/sdb1 I get could not find device for /boot Not found or not a block device any ideas? [04:57] yep [04:57] i had windows read the partition [04:57] but [04:57] CookieMonster: and Ubuntu went on second? [04:57] its not reading anymore [04:57] yea [04:58] CookieMonster: stop pressing enter... [04:58] =\ [04:58] jrib, heh oh yeah sudo init 1 wont work [04:58] orbisvicis: we need to find out what he did exactly I think. Still with us JonathanEllis? [04:58] I 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. [04:59] CookieMonster: is this a laptop [04:59] so basically, my linux partiton messed up due to not shutting it off right [04:59] then somehow grub messed up [04:59] this is a desktop [04:59] jrib, adding the word Single to the kernel options in grub would though : \ [05:00] and so now grub wont even load so i cannot access the linux partition [05:00] orbisvicis: 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] does someone knows if the new gnome release is going to support multiple desktops backgrounds? [05:00] My windows don't minimize, they just go away. Any one know why? [05:00] orbisvicis: ubuntu has a "recovery mode" option in the grub menu that gives you a root shell, that's probably the easiest way [05:00] fyrstorm, 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 x [05:01] fyrstorm: you can switch to another console by using ctrl+alt+F#, ie. ctrl+alt+F1, ctrl+alt+F7 is X [05:01] cameo351: do you have the "window list" applet added to your panel? [05:01] no [05:01] cameo351: try adding it [05:01] jrib, right [05:01] so is there a way to revoer the partition [05:01] cdecarlo, I know and have tried that but it isn't completing the boot process. [05:01] ok [05:01] CookieMonster: there's got to be [05:01] jrib: 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 boote [05:01] how do I install grub to my linux drive so I can dual-boot using WinXP Bootloader [05:01] ok [05:01] so [05:01] how would i do it [05:02] Scunizi, because i deleted some files and need to use apt to get them back [05:02] JonathanEllis: your message was truncated at "next time I boote" [05:02] fyrstorm, what got deleted? [05:02] CookieMonster, keep your elbow off the enter key [05:02] Schrödinger's LOLcat is in UR quantum box... maybe. [05:02] I am aware that various people have said various things to me but unfortunately I missed them all as I was writing my answer to jrib [05:03] :( i need that data back [05:03] jrib: 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 b [05:03] Because I want to keep WinXP bootloader in my MBR [05:03] JonathanEllis: are you on a different computer? [05:03] 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/had1 [05:03] */dev/hda1 [05:03] Yes. I am typing all this on my laptop but the problem is on my desktop [05:04] i believe its 3 [05:04] not too sure though [05:04] and it's ext3 ? [05:04] JonathanEllis: k, hit ctrl-alt-f1 on the desktop, does that let you login to a tty? [05:04] this drive has 3 partitions. 1 being windows, the other is the factory recovery and the third being ubuntu [05:04] fyrstorm, 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 whatnot [05:05] jrib: OK, done that and now I have a black screen. How long should it take before something happens? [05:05] Scunizi, I have tried wired and wireless without success. [05:05] was that really necessary [05:06] how do i figure that out [05:06] JonathanEllis: so no place to login then? [05:06] jrib: Just realised, when I say its a black screen, I mean the monitor is saying there is no signal [05:06] fyrstorm, how 'bout using the live cd? [05:06] when I run grub-install /dev/sdb1 I get could not find device for /boot Not found or not a block device How Do I fix This? [05:06] Scunizi, sure and do what with it? [05:06] Shadow420, you sure you want it on sdb1 and not sdb? [05:07] fyrstorm, for internet access.. get what you need there and save it on usb or hd. === xgermx is now known as xgermx1234567891 [05:07] Dr_Willis my device for my Linux is /dev/sdb1 [05:07] fyrstorm, or is what you're saying is that you never had internet access? [05:07] CookieMonster: have you ever mounted anything before [05:08] Dr_Willis I don't want grub to boot first I want XP bootloader to start first [05:08] through ubuntu? [05:08] JonathanEllis: erm ok, hit ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to the desktop. Then restart and select "recovery mode" from the grub menu [05:08] Hi all! Anybody gotten their Linux+ certification? [05:08] ya [05:08] jrib: 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 button === xgermx1234567891 is now known as xgermx [05:08] i know how to get through my partitions. like i said, there are 3 partitions on the drive so the ubuntu partition is most likely 3 [05:08] !who | CookieMonster [05:08] CookieMonster: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:08] Dr_Willis I I am running linux on a second hard drive [05:09] Scunizi, 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] jrib: Sorry - didnt see your post as I was still typing. Got the desktop back and I am rebooting now [05:09] fyrstorm, should be [05:09] Shadow420, 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] wow [05:09] what a total [05:09] incredible [05:10] Dr_Willis ok I will try that [05:10] jjt001: do you have an ubuntu support question? [05:10] Can linux write to NTFS partitions yet? [05:10] Does anybody have any insight into a problem I'm having with resolution? It's stuck at 640x480 and I can't change it. I just posted details here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4614520#post4614520 [05:10] Shadow420, grub is very flexiable.. but has a lot of little details to watchout for. :) [05:10] Shadow420, http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html - that may help [05:10] click170, its been able to for ages. [05:10] fiXXXerMet: yes [05:10] And if so, how reliably? [05:10] oops wrong nick. :) [05:10] jrib: OK, now I have booted into recovery mode and the terminal is ready. What next, please? [05:10] Any special packages or does it work oob now? [05:10] !ntfs-3g [05:10] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [05:10] Thanks [05:10] Dr_Willis: thought so heh, confusing. [05:11] fiXXXerMet, ntfs-3g works very well. [05:11] click170, it scrolled up as i was typing. :) [05:11] Could anybody tell me if the programs that i install on ubuntu using live cd will appear on the aplications? [05:11] JonathanEllis: tell us the output of 'ls -ld /home/USERNAME' where USERNAME is your username [05:11] CookieMonster: ok, make a mount point, call something like ubuntuPart, eg. mkdir ubuntuPart [05:11] jrib: yes [05:11] jjt001: then please ask the channel [05:11] jrib: will ubuntu 8.04 come packaged with gnome 2.22? [05:11] cdecarlo_: how would i do that. im currently on windows [05:11] Smolf, if you install packages while booting the live cd they 'should' appear in the menus. if they have a menu item [05:12] jjt001: questions about ubuntu 8.04 are addressed in #ubuntu+1 (but yes) [05:12] some advice plz: any really good irc programs for ubuntu? [05:12] CookieMonster: then mount the partition there; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 unbuntuPart [05:12] jrib: thanks [05:12] besides pidgin? [05:12] Djmack: xchat [05:12] cdecarlo_: i cannot boot into ubuntu or grub [05:12] jrib: Output is drw-r--r-- 73 jonathan jonathan 4096 Mar 30 03:27 /home/jonathan [05:12] heh [05:12] Djmack, I like xchat-gnome [05:12] CookieMonster: with the live cd [05:12] Djmack: You use pidgin for irc? I found it kind of cumbersome. I like Xchat for IRC on Ubuntu. [05:13] cdecarlo_: ok ill be back. ill boot the live cd [05:13] cya [05:13] Godo morning. I am having a problem. New Ubuntu user here. [05:13] JonathanEllis: do 'chmod 755 /home/jonathan' and 'reboot'. If you get that error you mentioned last time again, then write it down [05:13] I installed VLC, the media player, and cant get a directory to open === ryan_ is now known as Sgt [05:14] lothar, what directory [05:14] jrib: Can we please talk in a private message so the screen doesnt keep scrolling with everyone elses posts [05:14] JonathanEllis: sure, join me in #ubuntu-classroom [05:14] Hmm. I want TV to open [05:14] that is the name of one of my HDs [05:14] thanks for the advice with xchat [05:15] lothar, you have a directory called TV? [05:15] just downloaded it [05:15] What anti virus program is best for ubuntu? I used avast for ms os , but can't get it to work in ubuntu. [05:15] jrib: Thanks. Switching to #ubuntu-classroom. [05:15] Yes a HD named TV [05:15] I selct file then open directory and it only gives me the option within Home directory [05:16] I want to go above that to the Hard drives I have installed [05:16] lothar, 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] how do I use md5 to check d/l'd files? [05:16] I have 3 and yes it is correct [05:16] And yes, I did an install yesterday [05:16] I havent changed the hardware at all [05:16] lothar can you see the drive when you click on places and computer? [05:17] sixforty: md5sum /path/to/file [05:17] Ahh, not sure what you mean by that. I have it on my desk top now [05:17] Mounted, I believe is the correct term [05:17] lothar, ok.. so you have a link on the desktop .. can you open it and see the files. [05:17] yes [05:18] lothar is there one particular file you want to play in vlc? [05:18] No, if that was the case I could just drag them in [05:18] thx, 'll try it when d/l is done [05:18] I want to play an entire CD, whioch I have in a folder [05:18] sixforty: *nods* [05:18] Scunizi, in recovery mode and I have no wireless. [05:18] Dr_Willis this information is confusing me is there a direct tutorial on how to Dual-boot XP/Ubuntu using XP Bootloader? [05:19] Scunizi, or wired for that matter [05:19] Shadow420, 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] lothar.. ok.. could be that vlc doesnt recognize the "name" of the drive.. the other way is to point vlc to /media/ .. drives are labeled by sda, sdb, sdc [05:20] fyrstorm, try ifdown then right after ifup and see if that brings up the nic carad [05:20] *card [05:20] Scun - And that did it [05:20] lothar, cool.. [05:20] Ty for the help [05:20] but... [05:20] Dr_Willis well Windows Disk is my Master Drive and the linux which will house ubuntu is my Slave Drive [05:20] Is there an easier way? [05:21] Could I put a shortcut on the desktop that I could see when I clicked that? [05:21] Scunizi, ok I have to log back in I was just about to re-install ubuntu [05:21] lothar, you could use rythmbox or amorak to manage your music.. vlc isn't really made to do that. although it's a great player [05:21] how do i perform something similar to defrag on ext3? [05:21] ok [05:22] Bisclaveret: you don't, ext3 doesn't suffer from fragmentation [05:22] Question 2, I ha having trouble getting Java jre to run [05:22] Scunizi, when doing ifdown wlan0 it says it is not configured [05:22] fyrstorm, 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] Bisclaveret you don't need to defrag ext3 [05:22] Is this the proper place to get help? [05:22] Flannel: i don't believe that. [05:22] Shadow420, 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] after deleting several large gobs of data and replacing them with other files, disk performance has taken a sharp downturn over the past few days. [05:23] lothar, yep [05:23] Bisclaveret: its true, but if you insist, run fdisk. [05:23] Shadow420, i just unplugged the power conector to the one hd. [05:23] Bisclaveret, It is true [05:23] i'm looking for a way to free disk clusters for one [05:23] Bisclaveret, you can copy the image to another hardrive, wipe the orginal, then copy file by file back to the original drive [05:23] Scun- What do I need to do to find the problem? [05:23] or the right questions in the first place? [05:23] orbisvicis: i don't have any other disks free for that [05:23] Bisclaveret: It doesn't because it takes care of it on the fly, doing stuff intelligently [05:23] fyrstorm, sorry.. my networking skills in linux are pretty limited.. wireless I dont know much about [05:23] ok im back [05:23] and thats the old ibm xt way of defragging ;) [05:23] Scunizi, 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=wlan0 [05:24] Scunizi, ok I'll try it with eth0 [05:24] is there a channel for extreme newbies? [05:24] Flannel: and i'm taking a large performance hit from that ;) [05:24] Lolz I want tha channel too [05:24] Bisclaveret it's the truth linux uses the ext3 FS in a way that fragmentation can't happen [05:24] i ran sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 unbuntuPart and it gave me mount: mount point unbuntuPart does not exist [05:24] cameo357: yes, your in it! [05:24] today doing stuff in apt-get has been painful because it's taking over 15 seconds to start the install process, etc [05:24] Scunizi, same thing === cookismonster is now known as cookiemonster [05:24] cookismonster: were you able to mount the partition? [05:24] no =[ [05:24] Bisclaveret: I believe to defrag you have to convert back to ext2, defrag, then convert back to ext3. [05:24] lothar, I'm not really sure what the problem is yet.. try to describe it.. [05:25] cookiemonster: were you able to mount the partition? [05:25] hey dudes [05:25] fyrstorm, sorry.. .I'm stuck at this point [05:25] I am trying to get (dont laugh)~ the game runescape to run. www.runescape.com [05:25] mount: mount point unbuntuPart does not exist [05:25] cookiemonster: what error did you get === ina is now known as ce_cRi_temandt [05:25] does anyone know where i can find an install guide for the intel iMac? [05:25] Extreme Newbies should start at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training - and grab the free pdf ubuntu book. :) and read it of course.... [05:25] Scunizi, thanks for trying. [05:25] cameo357, try ubuntu forums new users it can be a bit more gentle than here [05:25] I got it to run under opera, but it was so laggy and slow it wasnt worth playing [05:25] I have a brand spankin new IBM thinkpad T61, how od I get powermanagment to work well on it? [05:25] fyrstorm, no problem.. [05:25] cookiemonster: did you create the directory? [05:25] Flannel: but basically, i've removed and purged over 75% of my free-HD-space-on-install and replaced it several times [05:25] my nvidia card lacks control (brightness, contrast etc) when using xv. I wanted totem to use opengl. I choose glimagesync in gstreamer-properties and the test is fine [05:25] Anyone else know how to get networking going in recovery mode from grub [05:25] but totem still cannot adjust brightness [05:26] is there a workaround for this? [05:26] cdecarlo_: no [05:26] also I have a screwed up apt database [05:26] I been reading that and the apt manual [05:26] and I cant get rid of some software [05:26] what should I do about that? any docs? [05:26] lothar, looks like a flash site is that righht? [05:26] cookiemonster: you've got to make the directory [05:26] so i'm looking for a way of freeing disk clusters, etc to arrange the data on the disk in the most efficient way possible. [05:26] It is a java game [05:26] which directory [05:26] I'm running hardy heron [05:26] I have flash working properly [05:26] Bisclaveret: ext3 keeps stuff close together, even if not contiguous. Fragmentation (yes it exists, obviously) isn't really a problem 98% of the time. [05:26] cookiemonster: mkdir ubuntuPart [05:26] !java | lothar [05:26] lothar: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [05:26] since i'm running a seagate medalist 3221 which is only 5400 rpm and 3gb [05:26] how can i change the port for outgoing mails in Evolution? [05:26] Bisclaveret: is this a name brand machine like a Dell, you could have hidden partitions on it? [05:26] I did that. No help at all [05:26] n2diy: no [05:26] how do I extract a gz (non tar) archive from the command line? [05:27] rkvirani, hardy is still being tested - duscissuon in #ubuntu+1 [05:27] Bisclaveret: Like I said, if you really want to defrag you'll have to convert to ext2, defrag, then convert back to ext3 [05:27] Adys, gunzip command. [05:27] Adys: unzip [05:27] cdecarlo_:ok nothing happened [05:27] Adys, also check out the 'unp' command. [05:27] I installed sun java and icedtea [05:27] Dr_willis: yea but ... cleaning up atp [05:27] any ideas? [05:27] gzip = gz UNZIP = .zip [05:27] lothar.. sorry.. maybe someone else can help with it.. just ask how to get java working for a website.. you might need to mention the site again [05:27] aight [05:27] Adys: tar -z is the flag you want for gz [05:27] !info unp [05:27] does anyone know where i can find an install guide for the intel core2duo iMac? [05:28] Can having both icedtea and sun java be causing problems? [05:28] cookiemonster: did you make the directory? [05:28] Transience: Its identical to a non-mac. Just pop in the CD and run the installer [05:28] thanks :) [05:28] lothar, maybe [05:28] how do i know if i made the directory? nothing happened after i did the command [05:28] how do i install Mumble? [05:28] cookiemonster: get a listing of the directory ... ls [05:28] cookiemonster: cd to it. [05:28] is there a channel java or something that might offer more help? [05:29] cookiemonster: do you see it? [05:29] umm im going to [05:29] n2diy: the machine is old and slow enough that running gnome-system-monitor takes up between 17-40%CPU randomly :p [05:29] hey sup [05:29] lothar, you could try in #linux [05:29] yes it made ti [05:29] OK[] [05:29] if you install the 8.04 beta, how much of a process is it upgrading to the final releae [05:29] hi people [05:29] would that just be a case of updating the packages, or would u reinstall the base system [05:30] mnk0: Not. Just regular updates like the ones you get normally [05:30] cookiemonster: now try sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 ubuntuPart [05:30] I'm having a non-trivial grub reinstall issue, this is the error I'm getting http://pastebin.org/26120 any suggestions? [05:30] 3rd and completely unrelated question. How well would ubuntu run on an on an old 800mhz lap top? [05:30] Flannel: then how would one do that without risking data loss? [05:30] Bisclaveret: ok, that shouldn't affect the hard drive space, maybe the drive is going south on you? [05:30] Flannel: like could u just doa dist-upgrade ? [05:30] lothar, i would use xubuntu on that low end a machine [05:30] lothar, more ram would also help. :) [05:30] n2diy: possibly, but i'm up the creek if thats the case [05:30] lothar: try Xubuntu, I'm on a P3 800, it's great [05:30] cdecarlo_: mount: mount point ubuntuPart does not exist [05:30] lothar: will it work yes, will it be optimal no. [05:31] mnk0: yeah. or update-manager, or synaptic, or whatnot. Once you're on a release, you're on that release. Upgrading to final is just updating your packages to that days [05:31] ahh [05:31] Bisclaveret: Sorry, GL. [05:31] hmm [05:31] and should I nuke win2k and go with it? [05:31] okay [05:31] thinking about installin for my home system then [05:31] I'm still getting errors with building [05:31] anyone got it rolling? [05:31] mnk0: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support/questions/etc [05:31] cookiemonster: what is the name of the directory you created? [05:31] cdecarlo_: let me pm you [05:32] cdecarlo_: ubuntuPart [05:32] Flannel: k thx [05:32] How well with the next version work? As a noob should I think about upgrading when it comes out? [05:32] lothar: I won't recommend killing it and going ubuntu if it's your first time running *nix [05:32] http://pastebin.com/m76d019ce [05:32] elpar - TY I will keep that in mind [05:32] ubuntu@ubuntu:~/ubuntuPart$ [05:32] What exactly do I get there? [05:32] What package? [05:33] lothar, the versions get better and better.. nice thing is you don't have to reinstall.. just upgrade [05:33] Do you extract a web downloaded package before using apt, or synaptic? [05:33] cookiemonster: can you cd into the directory? [05:33] lothar: on the other hand if that's your second computer go for it. u wont regret it [05:33] cdecarlo_: yes [05:33] cameo357: No. And you don't download it either. apt/synaptic does it for you. [05:33] ok, cd into ubuntuPart [05:33] ugh what's the "get packages" command again? [05:33] How? [05:34] i did already [05:34] cookiemonster: then type pwd [05:34] apt-get kles ? [05:34] cameo357: Fire up synaptic, select a package for installation, hit apply. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [05:34] So if I go with Hardy I will not be stuck with 'less stuff' in terms of functionalioty? [05:34] cdecarlo_: i get this /home/ubuntu/ubuntuPart [05:34] lothar, no [05:34] cookiemonster: ok, cd up a directory cd .. [05:35] might stuff (like java and flash) work better? [05:35] lothar: not at all, new versions are mostly updated packages. ubuntu has been usable since it's first release over 2 years ago. [05:35] what problems u have with that? [05:35] lothar, usually integration gets better [05:35] cdecarlo_: ok i did [05:35] cookiemonster: and then sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart [05:36] cdecarlo_: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart [05:36] mount: mount point /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart does not exist [05:36] both java and flash work really good for me. [05:36] java tastes good in the morning [05:36] lothar: have a look at http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/ for some of the new features [05:36] hmmm... [05:36] well flash sucks but that's the problem with the company that makes it :) [05:36] flahs, not so much [05:37] ijustam: yes but that's because flash9 linux sucks. [05:37] i dont like flash [05:37] but i could never learn it [05:37] so im biased [05:37] plus i cant draw to save my life [05:37] anyone here use Mumble? [05:37] and back went it was 7 it sucked really bad. [05:37] hey, I have a question about getting flash to work on Firefox [05:37] cookiemonster, mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart [05:37] I'm having a little trouble installing programs on Ubuntu, can anyone help?

[05:38] cookiemonster: what you pasted says "unbuntu" [05:38] Hi, is there a good program that will allow me to run linux applications in windows? I'm looking to run Kolourpaint in windows for my sisters. [05:38] and I installed FF 3 beta 4 to ~/firefox [05:38] i can download it if u want [05:38] hi, i need to download 32 bit libuuid to install on 64bit gutsy, how do i do that? thanks a lot [05:38] is there a way to make konqueror my default file manager while keeping nautilus in gnome? [05:38] so how do I get flashplugin-nonfree to work in FF 3 b4? [05:39] cookiemonster: argh! [05:39] =[ [05:39] carlzenox, please [05:39] hello. can anyone pass to me the EGGDROP TCL SCRIPT of ubotu? [05:39] echelon_: alright pm me also =/ [05:39] I'm trying to install stumbleupon for firefox, and it shows up in add/remove programs. The documentation site says to just click it and it will add... but it won't. [05:39] ok now i get thisubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart [05:39] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3, [05:39] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [05:39] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [05:39] dmesg | tail or so [05:39] cookiemonster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:39] Positronic: u have to install flash into that copy of firefox. either use their package or create symlinks. [05:39] cookiemonster, cut/paste the mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/unbuntuPart to a shell. [05:39] Positronic, that you might ask in ubuntu+1 [05:39] Kamus_H_Zwisch: ubotu isn't an eggdrop. But his source is available on launchpad [05:39] where can i find the files to install java for athlon64processor? [05:39] okay [05:39] lorenzo_, what is the exact issue. libuuid on 64bit doesnt have a .deb, or you need it 32-bit ? [05:39] cookiemonster, that error imples that hda3 is not the right device [05:39] Positronic this is in gutsy, right? [05:39] yeah [05:40] ok then what should i do [05:40] Positronic ok, stay here, +1 is for hardy. [05:40] cookiemonster, 'sudo fdisk -l' shows all partitions/disks on the system.. find out what one you really mean. [05:40] orbisvicis: i need it 32 bit. i am trying to do this: http://www.pando.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=4989 [05:40] Question: i have a drivers disk for my motherboard and onboard sound. how do i use it for ubuntu? [05:40] Flannel: i searched at launchpad project and didn't find. all i find is it db of answers [05:40] :( [05:40] elpargo: So download flashplugin and extract it to ~/firefox ? [05:40] ok which one am i supposed to use [05:41] Positronic in the plugins subdirectory of ~/firefox , create the dir if it doesn't exist [05:41] Positronic: in a nut shell, although you have to be sure where to put it. [05:41] okay, let me try [05:41] Kamus_H_Zwisch: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [05:41] Djmackzero: usually not. if ubuntu doesn't support your mainboard out of the box, then you can have a look at the drivers [05:41] Flannel: yes, i searched here :( [05:41] well [05:41] how bout sound drivers? [05:42] the same [05:42] how do i know which one to use? [05:42] Djmackzero: u have a disk with linux drivers? are they tarballs? [05:42] do what? [05:42] Kamus_H_Zwisch: Oh. https://code.launchpad.net/~dennis/ubuntu-bots/main specifically. The "download URL" has an example under it on how to check out the code [05:43] guys, how come when i send an email even if i have the domain registered, it fall into the junk mail! someone know the reason? [05:43] Flannel: ok, thanks :D [05:43] cookiemonster: can you paste the output to the pastebin [05:43] umm if i knew what the pastebin was i would [05:43] Vanpriest: tons of reasons, please be more specific [05:43] !paste | cookiemonster [05:43] cookiemonster: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:43] http://pastebin.org [05:43] ! pastebin | cookiemonster [05:44] ! n2diy is looser ;) [05:44] grrr. this lack of a .exe rile is driving me mad [05:44] I got a .bin file, what do I do with it? [05:44] nikrud: nope, distracted! ;) [05:44] lothar: chmd +x, run it [05:44] lothar: on the other hand, ones u get used to the package manager u will miss it. [05:44] cookiemonster: go to http://pastebin.org, paste the output and then copy the url and paste it in here [05:44] lothar, depends on what it is. :) [05:45] I've been doing a bit of searching, but I can't find anything that successfully plays mp4 files on Feisty. Everything I've tried (VLC, MPlayer, etc) yield nothing. Does anybody have any suggestions? [05:45] lothar depends on what it is, probably find the right app in synaptic and use that instead [05:45] jre 6 [05:45] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61551/ [05:45] lothar: always look first on the packagemanager. [05:45] lothar: there is a deb package for that. [05:45] !java | lothar [05:45] lothar: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [05:45] I tried that, and installed java, but it isnot working [05:45] lothar sudo apt-get get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [05:45] lothar, define 'not working' [05:45] willis - I know you were here the first time someone reccommended that, and it didnt ork then [05:45] !doesntwork | lothar [05:45] lothar: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [05:45] cookiemonster: you want /dev/hda4 [05:46] ok [05:46] 'not working'=does nothing [05:46] lothar: what u get when u run "java" ? [05:46] so whats the command i should use [05:46] lorenzo_, 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 bit [05:46] lothar, do trouble shooting, not trying random installs/removeables/things [05:46] deb [05:46] A blank white screen [05:46] ?? [05:46] lothar, you open up a terminal and use 'java' and it crashes the system? [05:46] cookiemonster: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda4 ubuntuPart [05:46] random re-installs seemed to work great with M$ products... [05:46] lothar: on the shell?? [05:46] Oisters on the shell? [05:46] lothar: because they suck. [05:47] thanks orbisvicis! i will try that [05:47] I am about as fresh off the turnip truck as they come [05:47] lothar: lets backtrac a little, why u need java for? [05:47] to run a game. www.runescape.com [05:47] sal [05:47] sal? [05:47] haha, RS [05:47] lothar so, the problem is you didn't get the plugin. Run the command I gave you above [05:48] asl [05:48] lorenzo_, 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 either [05:48] new pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61552/ [05:48] lothar: ok then you need to install java web plugin, u can do that from inside firefox or with the command nikrud gave you, then you MUST restart firefox. [05:48] what was the command again? [05:48] lothar sudo apt-get get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [05:48] hey there - simple question with sbackup: i usually do my backups on an external usb drive(because it appears senseless to me to backup onto the same physical drive) - what happens if i select daily backups but the external drive is plugged in only every say 2nd day? [05:49] E: Invalid operation get [05:49] E: Invalid operation get [05:49] E: Invalid operation get [05:49] orkun it will get written to the main disk at the mount point [05:49] Isa what came up [05:49] lothar sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sorry, typo [05:49] !flood [05:49] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[05:52] i cannot boot into it and i cannot access the files on the partition [05:52] i need help reinstalling grub [05:52] lothar I'm gonna put up a couple links that will help you get a grip on how software is organized in ubuntu, it'll give you some framework to start putting things into [05:53] !components | lothar (especially the components one) [05:53] lothar (especially the components one): The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

Check your other disk, it might be 32bit. But I'd strongly recommend going 32bit [06:01] RossC: one sec im looking something up [06:01] P4's are i686, are they? :\ [06:01] Ya I tried 64 and dont like it [06:02] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61558/ [06:02] *aren't [06:02] !who | lothar [06:02] lothar: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:02] lothar: you can wrap some 32bit packages to work on 64b but it's not trivial. [06:02] * nikrud thinks that's one way, but not for beginners ;) [06:02] so,thinking about upgrading from windows to ubuntu, is it worth waiting for 8.04 or should I go with gutsy and upgrade [06:03] elpar - Ok 64 bit windows was hellish\, and I had even less fun with 64 bit ubuntu [06:03] I will go with 32 bit [06:03] Brack10 install now :) [06:03] have you guys checkoued the pastebin? [06:03] I've heard the upgrade path can be rocky, is that just idiot speak? [06:03] Brack10: dive in and get your feet wet. [06:03] I installed yesterday [06:03] Brack10: the sooner you see the light the better, linux in general is not like windows, new versions are normally small things, bug fixes and new stuff. [06:03] what is lothar 's problem ? ndiswrapper for flash is simple ? [06:03] cookiemonster: I've never been through this before and I think my expertise is becoming exhausted, I'm sorry man but you're gonna have to find someone else to help [06:04] cookiemonster: are u using a live cd? [06:04] Brack10 if you follow the upgrade instructions, it's not difficult. Most people have problems when they use envy or automatix (if you don't know what they are, you're lucky) [06:04] RossC: I might recommend reading this link on restricted formats, i think it might work for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [06:04] Positronic: model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz and Linux myubuntu 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 23:01:54 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [06:04] Do I need to download it agian and burn another CD? Or are the 32 and 64 bit versions on the same CD? [06:04] Brack10: Why worry about upgrading, I'm still using Dapper 6.06? [06:04] hm [06:04] lothar different cds [06:04] didn't realize [06:04] Got it [06:04] lothar: 2 disks [06:04] elpargo: yes [06:04] though the only reason to run 64bit is >4Gb [06:04] I will grab another one, TY for the help Nic [06:05] lothar releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 , get the desktop [06:05] can some one direct me to some really good Python tutorials? ive been reading the ones on the site.. and im starting to get a little lost. [06:05] lothar you are welcome [06:05] When 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? [06:05] cookiemonster: and u lost grub because you reinstalled windows? [06:05] Nik - SHold I just get the beta of Heron? [06:05] no i lost grub because it got corrupted [06:05] i improperly shutted it down [06:05] Djmackzero: are you an experience programmer? also #python is the best way for this. [06:05] lothar no. no. no. It breaks something nearly every day [06:05] snerfu: I had found that during my searches. It was already up-to-date when I tried it, though, so no change from it. === macd_ is now known as macd [06:06] Djmackzero: a great way to learn python is by taking the python challenge [06:06] cookiemonster: how? [06:06] Nic - Gotcha [06:06] i studied java a little [06:06] google it [06:06] but ill be sure to hit up #python [06:06] cdecarlo, python challenge ? [06:06] Nic - should I even think about downgrading? [06:06] I'm on a really fast custom gaming laptop with an ati radeon card, but the video is really slow. I've tried installing the proprietary drivers but that was only slower. Can anyone assist me? [06:06] hey [06:06] lothar it's lovely if you know how to fix the stuff, and will be wonderful when done [06:06] i improperly shut it down while i was in grub and next time i booted grub would not boot and gave me error [06:06] orbisvicis: oh ya, it's great [06:06] n2diy: i was just thinking it might have tons of new stuff that's worth waiting for [06:06] cdecarlo, what is it ? [06:07] hmm.. i could have sworn that I turned off my 'away' messages... [06:07] lothar downgrading? Nah, stick with 7.10 [06:07] Brack10: yes but why wait :) [06:07] orbisvicis: its an online riddle game for python programmers [06:07] Djmackzero: ok then I'll recommend docs.python.org/tut/ then www.diveintopython.org/ [06:07] im getting errors joining #python "* #python :You need to be identified to join that channel" [06:07] Brack10: Dunno, most new stuff is behind the scene kernel stuff. [06:07] cdecarlo, ah [06:07] Brack10 everything you learn in gutsy will transfer over fine [06:07] i like [06:07] i take it I no longer have talk privilages? [06:07] Nic: I have 3 versions I can DL, Do I choose the 64biit AMB version or the standard version to get the 32 bit version I want? [06:07] Djmackzero: the second link is a little advanced if u don't know how to program. [06:08] lothar: std = 32 [06:08] Nic -I havent a clue waht Sun Ultra is so that one is out [06:08] is booting from a livecd the only way to run fsck? [06:08] lothar ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [06:08] the thing is [06:08] orbisvicis: it's addictive, I got to level 22 before i got to busy with life to spend hours banging my head against the screen [06:08] Any way to modify keyboard shortcuts in gnome - other than the Sys > Prefs > Keyboard shortcuts dialog? [06:08] RossC: does the video even try to play? do you just get like a black window? or do you just see the sound like no video is even trying to come up? [06:08] OK can someone speed up the download now? [06:08] can't find anything in gconf so far [06:08] Bisclaveret: no, try susdo fsck from a terminal. [06:08] cookiemonster: sudo fdisk -l what that shows? [06:09] cdecarlo link please :) [06:09] (hehe) I was joking [06:09] n2diy: it screams at me not to run it on a mounted filesystem [06:09] bikeboy, you got a special keyboard with extra keys.. ? try keytouch in synaptic [06:09] docs.python.org/tut/ is honestly getting boring to a point of no interest... im looking for something with, not more interactive, but better interactive content [06:09] snerfu: I get nothing in VLC. It pops up for a split second, then closes. The only results I've gotten are from XMMS after some tinkering, but only sound from it (no video). [06:09] http://www.pythonchallenge.com/ [06:09] unless i use -n [06:09] lothar welcome to ubuntu. I'm off for a bit, enjoy and I'll see you around [06:09] thaks [06:09] thanks [06:09] Bisclaveret: yes, you need to umount it. [06:10] Scunizi, actually trying to set a combination of 'Super_L' key and another key [06:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61559/ [06:10] anyone install wubi on vista? [06:10] Djmackzero: interactive? like q&a ? [06:10] n2diy: then i won't be able to run fsck [06:10] Scunizi, doesn't let you combine like you can with shift etc [06:10] elpargo: http://www.pythonchallenge.com/ [06:10] lothar before I go, did you get those links for reading I gave you? they're not long, and really worth reading. Just in case, I'm sending them to you again in a pm [06:10] i need to check /dev/sda1 which is root :p [06:10] bikeboy, never tried it myself.. [06:10] !components > lothar [06:10] * elpargo looks around .... ues this is ubuntu channel, why people are talking about the lastest failure in OSs? [06:10] !synaptic > lothar [06:10] anyone know why there's such a lag after login (gnome) while the applets load? [06:10] Scunizi, will look into the program though, thanks [06:10] Bisclaveret: fsck runs everyday, why do you need to run it now? [06:11] oh my farts stink [06:11] n2diy: because obviosuly rebooting the computer, etc isn't making fsck do it's job, re http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61556/ [06:11] tgelter: noneed more ram? [06:11] need* [06:11] tgelter: maybe you got a lot of them, applets are slow in loading. [06:11] i want fsck to check the entirety of my hd [06:11] kindofabuzz: I have 4 GB...I don't think I need more =) [06:11] not whatever little it does on boot [06:11] ok, less applests? [06:11] elpargo: there are only too... [06:11] *two [06:11] tgelter: define "a lot of time" [06:12] Bisclaveret, youll need a boot cd; you cant fsck mounted volumes. and if you have lvm ... youll need lvm support [06:12] Bisclaveret: ok, let me have a look, in the mean time triy "sudo updatedb" [06:12] anyone 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] orbisvicis: theres no option like windows nt's chkdsk where it runs on boot before mounting the FS? [06:13] elpargo: 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 anything [06:13] Bisclaveret, it's not needed [06:13] Bisclaveret, well thats what fsck on boot does [06:13] Bisclaveret: depends on ur filesystem, most of those checks are not needed or done automatically. [06:13] Scunizi: obviously it is. [06:13] it runs on boot, but i've gotten those errors [06:13] snerfu: I'm putting it aside for now. I'll try doing some more searching tomorrow. Thank you for your time! [06:13] When 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] unless those errors cropped up in the past 24hrs [06:13] tgelter: yea that's a lot, have you try deleting them to be sure it's the applets? [06:14] what am i to do now [06:14] how do i recover the data from the partition [06:14] dabbill, 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 champ [06:14] elpargo: it happens on my laptop, on my desktop, and on my wife's laptop...I thought it was normal... [06:14] cookiemonster: I told you to run sudo fdisk -l and show that. [06:14] i did [06:14] dabbill, you can try from terminal k9copy, though thatll waste more time [06:14] i posted the pastebin [06:15] tgelter: the lag is normal it's loading a lot of things, but the times for you seem too much. [06:15] Bisclaveret: It appears fsck is trying to fix your corrupted files, and your telling it not to. [06:15] whenever 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 anything [06:15] elpargo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61559/ [06:15] cookiemonster: I must have miss that, please give it to me again === Sinn3rman is now known as Sinnerman [06:15] n2diy: because i used -n to avoid screwing up the mounted filesystem [06:15] elpargo: interesting. is there no way to have them start preloading while gdm is loaded waiting for input? [06:16] to determine if i actually needed to run fsck [06:16] hi, i've uninstall proftpd, but there's still the /var/log/proftpd/....i can remove this ? [06:16] what i did was the equivalent of running chkdsk c: without the /f flag [06:16] which puts it in readonly [06:16] Bisclaveret: GL [06:16] tgelter: not in the way it's handle, whichs apps by the way? [06:17] tgelter: normally python applets are very slow at loading, because of the interface [06:17] elpargo: gnome-system-monitor, frequency scaling, and the normal "notifications" [06:17] tgelter: oh yes the system monitor is laggy, I don't use it anymore because of that. [06:18] Scunizi, orbisvicis thanks, i guess i will make an ISO then just burn it i guess. [06:18] elpargo: I see. any other recommendations for replacements/ [06:18] cookiemonster: then your root line should be root (hd0,2) [06:18] qcjn: It's just a log, removing it would be fine IMO [06:18] elpargo: how am i supposed to use that [06:18] thanks [06:18] np [06:19] tgelter: depends on your geekiness lvl, I don't really use any at the moment, but http://conky.sourceforge.net/ it's really neat. [06:19] cookiemonster: keep reading the link I gave you. [06:20] elpargo: yeah, I've used conky before, I just always forget to install it...plus I like the desktop real estate it takes up. I was hoping for some other gnome-panel applet [06:21] elpargo: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `hd0,2' [06:22] tgelter: well there is always gkrellm , but that's isn't gnome's specific. [06:22] Hey everyone [06:22] elpargo: true true. thanks for the recommends & help [06:22] cookiemonster: this may sound hard but, please use your common sense, it's a syntax error, you are very close to it. [06:23] My CD/DVD reader writer in my Dell XPS 1210 doesn't read or write CD's, only DVD's how do I go about fixing this? [06:23] elpargo: how am i supposed to use the syntax. I am a linux newbie [06:23] root (hd0,2) there is a space. [06:23] cookiemonster: learning. that's the only way u will get out of newbie land [06:23] Is the ATI accelerated driver that is provided in the restricted driver manager equivalent to fglrx? [06:23] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ root (hd0,2) [06:23] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `hd0,2' [06:24] cookiemonster: INSIDE the grub console. [06:24] cookiemonster, thats NOT a bash command. thats a 'grub' command. [06:24] grub has its own shell interface. [06:24] ok [06:25] fyrstorm: the restricted drivers ati driver is the official driver from ati. [06:25] elpargo: nothing happens now [06:26] elpargo, ok thank you, Do you know how to get OpenGL working right on it? [06:26] cookiemonster: that in linux means success, go on with the tutorial now. [06:26] elpargo: Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [06:26] fyrstorm: why you need it? a game? beryl? [06:27] elpargo, Tremulous, I don't care about beryl or compiz. [06:27] fyrstorm: ohh that's a nit game, the restricted drivers should do all u need for it to work. [06:28] Where are Volume controls at for fluxbox. Im new to fluxbox. [06:28] zero88: it doesn't has any. [06:28] I encyted a usb drive with crypsetup and LUKS. But how do I mount the device? [06:28] elpargo how do you raise or lower the volum,e? [06:28] zero, gnome-volume-manager [06:28] cookiemonster: ummm weird I think you got the same issue I'm having. [06:28] thank you [06:28] welpargo: what is your issue? [06:28] zero88: either alsamixer or a little applet you need to install that I forgot the name. [06:29] elpargo, I did a fresh install yesterday, I used the restricted driver and the game didn't work right. All of the in-game text was garbled. I then tried to do a manual install of fglrx and totally broke everything. I am currently in the process of re-installing ubuntu [06:30] cookiemonster: I'm getting an error while trying to reinstall grub, I'm getting the right partition but it's giving me partition not found. [06:30] so [06:30] there is a solution right [06:31] elpargo: did you run grub with sudo? [06:31] zero88: here is a link from back when I used gentoo, it very nice tips on fluxbox in general and a way to set alsamixer for sound http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/fluxbox-config.xml [06:32] DistroJockey: yup [06:32] hello everyone.

[06:32] zero88, fluxbox-wiki.org [06:33] mobin, keytouch [06:33] yay [06:33] DistroJockey: I have done this a zillion times, but now I'm having an issue with my disk. [06:33] elpargo: Sorry, getting confused here, you are helping cookiemonster?

No games are able to get internet access through it, but all non-wine software can. [06:53] wundaboy: you installed libdvdcss2 .. ? [06:53] yeah [06:53] cdecarlo, and i can't even see it other than on the list in the terminal [06:53] zcat[1], the majority of dvds play [06:53] i have only had this error on like 2 other movies (mr. woodcock, Rendition, and im not sure of the other) [06:53] possibly copy-protected .. they tend to do weird stuff that makes most players break. vlc can usualy handle them [06:53] nope [06:53] vlc crashes [06:54] elpargo: cookiemonster has /dev/hd??'s should they not be /dev/sd??'s ? [06:54] If I drop an NTFS hard drive with windows on it into my Ubuntu box and mount it, can I scan it with something like ClamAV to check it for viruses and clean it? [06:54] DistroJockey: hd for anything grub related sd for anything path related. [06:54] onefunk_: you can try sudo ps aux | grep , the numbers in the second column are the PIDs, find the PID of your hung application and try sudo kill -1 PID, if that doesn't work then replace -1 with -9 [06:54] elpargo: but my fdisk -l lists sd's [06:55] no one? [06:55] elpargo: is this a laptop? [06:55] RandoCal: yesandno.. the viruses will have set up all kinds of autorun registry entries and stuff which will break horribly when you remove the virus it's trying to run [06:55] DistroJockey: yes but grub handles everything as hd## internally. [06:56] elpargo: yeah, but his pastebin is fdisk -l right? [06:56] grub is for more then just Linux. thats why it does its disk naming scheme differently. :) [06:56] ok brb guys [06:56] correct Dr_willis, it's closer to BSD in it's naming. [06:56] zcat - thanks [06:56] ive also noticed that on some of my machines my ide disks are /dev/hd#$$ and onother machines ide disks are /dev/sd## - NOt sure why they differe [06:56] elpargo, bingo! :) [06:56] jolly-o people [06:57] DistroJockey: ATA drives are usually hd, SATA and SCSI drives are usually sd [06:57] Dr_willis: it's the connection ..... what zcat[1] said.

[06:57] DistroJockey: if you view /boot/grub/device.map, it'll tell you if you've got mixed drives [06:57] zcat[1]: depends on the kernel though [06:57] DistroJockey: yeah, some of my ATA drives are sd's [06:57] just trying to help cookiemonster [06:57] zcat[1]: nods [06:57] that's why I said usually :) [06:58] it's messy :) then a,b,c converting to 1,2,3 and grub counts from 0 while os from 1, it's a mess :p :p [06:58] zcat[1]: I've noticed that on laptops the drives are sd [06:58] whats the command to start X from command [06:58] I think it depends on the mobo chipset a bit too [06:58] cdecarlo_: yes because almost all modern drives ares sata connected even if they are not SCSI [06:58] zcat[1]: I'm running an IDE atm, and it's sd's [06:58] fyrstorm: startx [06:58] thans [06:59] ***thanks [06:59] DistroJockey: laptop? then it's the sata, same here. [07:00] elpargo: nope, got a tower. I switch between sata and ide etc. Usually have sd on all install's [07:01] got a question [07:01] anyone know of any terminal based messengers? [07:01] DistroJockey: question still valid do you connect the drives with sata? [07:01] DistroJockey: Ubuntu, since... edgy, I believe, has mapped IDEs to sd (so you only have sdXs) [07:01] why are people spelling fire with a 'y' I keep on reading and typing fry, like fryer tuck [07:01] terminhell: hehe which protocol? [07:02] mainly for msn [07:02] elpargo: Flannel: 2.6 kernels switched to IDE using scsi/sata identifcation [07:02] terminhell: the python one is really nice, it's bungle with the python api for msn. let me get u the link. === adante_ is now known as adante [07:02] elpargo: I use both ide and sata [07:02] Flannel: DistroJockey, that's interesting :) [07:03] i remember finding one in the repo's a while ago, but ive reinstalled since then... [07:03] elpargo: not at the same time though [07:03] i need the backport repos [07:03] DistroJockey: That's not necessarily correct. Dapper uses hda still (with 2.6.15). It was an Ubuntu decision. Let me see if I can find the wiki page [07:03] hmm.. just checked.. everything here is sd's even thouigh more than half of them are ATA [07:03] Flannel: yes, I could be slightly wrong there [07:03] terminhell: I believe it's this one http://auriga.wearlab.de/~alb/msnlib/ [07:03] secondly...i cant seem to get a tty session going. when i ctrl+alt+f1 i just get a blinking curser [07:04] Flannel: but there was a driver change at some point that changed ide from hd to sd [07:04] terminhell: can I ask why you want a text-base IM? [07:04] zcat[1]: yep :) [07:04] cdecarlo_ it's l33t :) [07:04] im retro like that :p [07:05] AND [07:05] :) [07:05] I wanted it to make a bot. [07:05] how much ram of 4GB can 32-bit ubuntu address? [07:05] it saves on batter life not running a gui [07:05] 3.2 gb i think [07:05] terminhell: roadwarrior? [07:05] how is 64-bit coming along? [07:05] something like that [07:05] are all the restricted plugins working, and what about running 32-bit games in wine? [07:06] voidmage: Without bigram, like 3.2, with it, all of it (and then some) [07:06] 64bit is not too bad.. running 64bit hardy atm... [07:06] 64 bit is good [07:06] i'm still in 32bit because i haven't gotten my next round of upgrades [07:06] (getting a wolfdale and 4GB of ram) [07:06] but would 64bit run 32-bit games in wine? [07:06] hello.. have a question, if some one has a moment [07:06] yes [07:06] voidmage: about wine not as trivial as having windows. [07:07] voidmage: about as well as 32bit ever does .. [07:07] would it be as easy as after installing 64bit, leaving my home partition, and still running my launcher scripts that i used in 32bit? [07:07] those being something like "cd ~/.wine/path/to/game; wine game.exe" [07:07] hi, i'm using a compaq presario f500, i think the restricted driver for the graphic card cause the crash on my computer [07:08] is there a driver from synapptic that i can use in place of the restricted driver one? [07:08] voidmage: I don't think wine cares .. programs inside wine don't depend on any libraries outside of it, so no conflict [07:09] would 64bit wine run the any dll overrides i might have put into it? [07:09] anyone know if the linux drivers from ATI (specifically for an x800) are any good? [07:09] hp: you could try changing the Device line in xorg.conf to nv instead of nvidia [07:10] hp: Device section, driver line rather [07:10] distrojockey: can i uninstall the driver if it crashes? last time i tried to do that in in restricted driver, i lost tGUI [07:11] ok have a problem with my firewall config [07:11] hp: no need to try uninstalling [07:11] i normally use lokkit to enable ports to ssh httpd and ftp [07:11] but now it gives me an error [07:11] Wine 0.9.46: Is there any way to configure Wine's link to your internet connection? No games are able to get internet access through it, but all non-wine software can. [07:11] iptables chain already exists [07:11] hp: just make a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver line [07:12] i cannot enable ports 22, 23 and 80 via lokkit and they are disabled now [07:12] how can i open these ports again? [07:12] AdemoS: #winehq is probably a better place to ask (yes, there is) [07:12] Flannel, ah, sometimes they send me back here though, for other software [07:12] hp: you only have a TTY console atm? [07:12] any ideas anybody? [07:12] AdemoS: right. Ibelieve that is just a setup thing though, but I'm not really sure. [07:13] has anyone else had trouble getting icon themes to work? when i select a downloaded/imported icons theme, i just get the default gnome icons.. [07:13] darkscript: did you do something in lokkit to disable them? [07:13] distrojokey: i have no clue what that is? i'm new [07:13] Flannel, okay, thanks a lot for the tip [07:13] i tried to enable one that was previously not enabled [07:13] then the rest just disabled and did a complete lockdown [07:13] hp: you have no GUI? [07:13] darkscript: You don't need to "enable" ports. You juts need to have something listen to them. [07:13] ? [07:13] i made a fresh install [07:14] they are being blocked by a firewall...are they not [07:14] i've to httpd vsftpd and sshd running [07:14] darkscript: Not unless you've added something. [07:14] hp: but you have a $ prompt? [07:14] nothing goes through [07:14] yeah [07:14] if a daemon doesnt count as something listening i am not sure what is [07:15] hp: k, first do a: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [07:15] darkscript: By default, all you need to do to get apache or ssh listening is just install it (and then it starts). [07:15] distrojockey, i did that, i'm going to restart now [07:15] brg [07:15] brb [07:15] yeah...they are on i assure you of that [07:15] hp: you changed the file? [07:15] darkscript: what does `sudo iptables -L` give you? [07:16] snap [07:16] darkscript: lokkit, I believe, is just a GUI to iptables. Is there any reason you're not using firestarter, by the way? [07:16] i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and am using it rite now any helpfull pointers to set it up good? [07:16] because this is on a server [07:16] any idea why i cant initiate a TTY session? Im in X right now, but when i ctrl+alt+f1-f6 i just get a blinking cursor [07:16] i prefer no gui [07:17] and i dont like firestarter [07:17] lokkit has always worked [07:17] lnxnwbe: insta;; ubuntu-restricted-extras .. and go look up medibuntu as well [07:17] darkscript: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:17] darkscript: lokkit is a GUI, isn't it? [07:17] no it is not flannel, its an ncurses based app [07:17] terminhell: sounds like the vga= issue [07:17] darkscript: Ah, alright. Well, the iptables command will let us see what damage its done [07:17] ok i'll paste it to you in one second. [07:18] zcat: i installed the restricted drivers for my xfx 8700 oc what is medibuntu? [07:18] terminhell: if you remove vga=??? from the kernel boot line, you should have them back [07:18] I prefer to trust that the only thing ever listening on a port will be something I installed myself.. this isn't 'doze [07:18] hmm [07:18] terminhell: check /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:19] terminhell: you will need to reboot after removing it [07:19] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61567 [07:20] lnxnwbe: ubuntu-restricted-extras is a metapackage that will install codecs, windows fonts, flash player, java, and a few other goodies.. medibuntu is a repo where you can get libdvdcss2 (for playing dvd's) and more media / games packages that aren't included in th main repos [07:20] afk a sec [07:21] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61567 === Fersure is now known as HAI === HAI is now known as Fersure [07:21] OHAI? [07:21] Hi, could someone please join ##ddalton since this channel is to busy for me? I am blind so it isn't really possible for me to follow. I have two questions anyway. 1. How can I restore gdm to its default settings? and 2. How can I install a hardy package to my feisty box? [07:21] hm [07:21] thx [07:21] i can has cheezeburger now? [07:22] zcat(1): can i get that through ad remove? [07:22] ddalton: hey! You still working on that :( [07:22] distrojockey: it seems to work with "nv", i'll monitor to see if the system will crash [07:22] lnxnwbe: ubuntu-restricted-extras you probably need to run synaptic .. medibuntu you need to find the webpage and follow their instructions.. they're pretty straightforward tho [07:22] hp: cool [07:22] !medibuntu [07:22] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:23] distrojockey: thanks alot === Fersure is now known as Shinigami [07:23] hp: np, you're welcome [07:23] flannel you still there? [07:23] me? no... I stuffed up a sound playing thing for the log in; I already reinstalled. [07:23] Sayy, is there an Ubuntu live DVD? [07:24] dose any one know how to create a min root file system ??? [07:24] its for a diskless node [07:24] The ubuntu DVD is just live + alt + server on one disk afaik .. there's an ubuntu ultimate dvd, not official tho [07:24] with a ram drive [07:24] distrojocker i see this: ## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the [07:24] ## alternatives [07:24] ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 [07:24] # defoptions=vga=773 [07:24] terminhell: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:24] darkscript: Actually, try this: `sudo iptables -F` this will just remove everything, and we can verify that it works sans rules. [07:24] would anyone here be able to help me with a debian problem? everyone in debian is asleep :P [07:24] darkscript: and you can start over with your lokkit stuff. [07:25] Flannel: btw; iptables -F won't change the default DENY rule... [07:25] terminhell: If you have vga=??? on the kernel you are booting, try it without [07:25] Lokian: The ubuntu DVD is a live system, but its indentical to the CD, as far as the live system is concerned [07:25] im not exactly sure how or where that is at lol [07:25] i did iptables -F then lokkit reports (iptables)chain allready exists [07:26] wpa options are not appearing in the gnome network manager, wpa supplicant is installed, and so are the wireless drivers (rt73) [07:27] terminhell: at a terminal, type: less /boot/grub/menu.list [07:27] darkscript: alright, well, I'm not familiar with lokkit, so I'm unsure whats going on there. You'll have to find someone who is, or at least who's more familiar with it than I am. [07:27] well what should i do [07:27] would using firestarter help [07:27] i've tried this guide http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html but it doesn't seem to have worked. using debian testing [07:27] i can always do xforwarding if i need to tweak later on [07:27] darkscript: sudo apt-get remove --purge lokkit .. then reboot.. === Shinigami is now known as Fersure [07:28] zcat(1): i am at the website but i can't figure it out [07:29] and what am i looking for again? vga=??? === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK === HinHin is now known as HinHin|nap [07:30] lnxnwbe: click repositoryhowto .. then scroll down a bit, copy the line of text that starts with 'sudo wget...", open a terminal, paste it in. Repeat for the GPG-key line [07:30] Anyone around who can help me setup .asoundrc for playback on multiple soundcards? I'v tried to edit it as a bunch of Howto's say but XMMS gives me "Please check that: Your soundcard is configured properly You have the correct output plugin selected No other program is blocking the soundcard." [07:30] terminhell: yup, try to use my name as I may not see (being in other windows and all :)) [07:30] lnxnwbe: just make sure you pick the line for your distro.. [07:30] terminhell: vga= remove it :) [07:31] thanks flannel removing lokkit helped [07:31] lokkit is more for rh based distros i guess [07:31] zcat(1):tks [07:31] I 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? [07:32] For 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] StevenX, the one for ubuntu you choose [07:32] [Services] Why did Ubuntu 7.10 set acpid and reset apmd on my modern laptop computer MD97600? [07:32] lnxnwbe: after that, you should have a whole lote more stuff available in synaptic (and probably a few extra programs in add/remove) -- libdvdcss2 is probably the one most people are after [07:32] Svenstaro, thanks so much. I want to make Ubuntu 10 gigs [07:32] if i remove that, will i still be able to boot into X normally? [07:32] StevenX, you can easily make it out by the partition types: windows is NTFS, ubuntu is EXT3 [07:33] stevenx, are you using the ubuntu installer or gparted? [07:33] terminhell: yes (please put my name in your question if you are asking me) [07:33] morning DistroJockey [07:33] Svenstaro, ubuntu installer. [07:34] distrojockey sorry i dont use irc often =/ [07:34] can't wait for hardy... wubi makes dual-boot so much easier [07:34] StevenX, if you want real complex partitions and full control, you should use the gparted live cd [07:34] zcat[1], i actually wanted to try wubi, what can be said about speed [07:34] ? [07:35] Svenstaro, it wont' let me chose less than 50% of the hdd for the ubuntu partition. [07:35] :-( [07:35] Svenstaro: seems OK.. I din't play with it much === Scientus_ is now known as Scientus [07:36] stevenx, I get your problem, you are doing the guided installation, listen, close the ubuntu installer and open gparted seperately and do all your operations, then back in the ubuntu installer, just choose the new partition you created [07:37] Svenstaro, thank you. [07:37] Svenstaro: heyya :) [07:37] stevenx, are you currently on the livecd? [07:37] Svenstaro, which kind of file system would you recommend i use for the ubnut partition? [07:37] Svenstaro, yes, I am using the livecd [07:37] ext3 [07:37] then you already got gparted preinstalled, you found it? [07:38] zcat(1):add repositores copy to the apt line under 3rd party rite? [07:38] does anybody here have trouble with wireless and manual configuration of the network? [07:39] eh wait wrong channel sorry [07:39] Svenstaro, I started up an applicationc called partition manager. [07:39] it's a gnome app, so I'm guessing it's gparted [07:39] StevenX, yeah its that one [07:39] stevenx, its ingenious, you can resize, extend, and do all that fancy stuff, you can even move. Youll like it :P [07:40] anyone here using Ardour or Jack Control [07:40] Svenstaro, very intuitive. i like [07:40] hyperair: i get it all the time. i'm waiting for someone to be able to answer to my problem [07:40] will i have to stop using the livecd to use it? [07:41] my file searching has stopped working... gutsy x64... what do i do? [07:41] anyone knows how to regenerate the /boot/grub/stage1 file? [07:41] stevenx, nope, youre good on the livecd [07:41] so [07:41] elpargo, doesnt grub-install do that? [07:42] Svenstaro: don't answer a question with a question :) [07:42] elpargo, I implied my help :P [07:42] hai blh knln nggak!!! [07:43] i am not getting sound with any game [07:43] ok , i guess i am at a total loss here, how do i add the medibuntu to the system list of apt? reposatories? [07:43] Svenstaro: I believe that file is created before you run grub-install [07:43] shubbar: have you tried installing openal related packages? [07:44] elpargo reinstall grub [07:44] no [07:44] !medibuntu | lnxnwbe [07:44] lnxnwbe: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:44] i ll try that [07:44] nikrud: that is what I'm trying to accomplish. [07:44] i just installed the alternate install, which stupidly installs the desktop (which i can't run well, hence the alt install). So I'm now sitting at a prompt with X running (well, "running"). at this point, what step would i need to take to cleanly kill X, uninstall gnome(or kde?) and install a lightweight gui (black/flux box i think?) [07:44] I have a problem with vista, it doesnt automatically log into network drive that is shared by samba. If i map \\1.2.3.4\test as a network drive, it prompts me for user and password. When i go to that place via run command, i get there without any user/pswd prompts [07:45] elpargo sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub will put them back [07:45] shubbar: sudo apt-get install openal0a [07:45] nikrud: I'm running from the livecd right now. [07:45] if it's already installed then i'm not sure what else the problem could be [07:45] hello [07:46] ok obotu, i don't know what an apt thingy is , unless its adding to synaptic package manager some how [07:46] hobbitboy, you would first kill gdm as in sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then you would remove (using aptitude) the complete gnome desktop environment and ubuntu-desktop, and install what ever new environment youll like [07:46] in order to help me i need a geek translator [07:46] when I delete a file in a USB stick, it is not deleted, how do i physically remove a file? [07:46] elpargo ah. trying to put it back on the root partition then? [07:46] I need help changing my system time. I can get into the change time/date dialog and try and change the time, but when I press "close" it doesn't actually do anything - or at least, the panel clock doesn't update [07:46] kelvin911, empty the bin [07:46] thanks a lot! what lighweight guis would you recommend. i have 128MB ram [07:46] nikrud: I'm stuck trying to get grub back up, and all the traditional ways have fail. [07:46] and its a laptop [07:47] lnxnwbe: Synaptic is a GUI front end to apt [07:47] elpargo hm. /boot/grub/* is all missing? (just want to be sure) === kingrayray is now known as rayb0t === rayb0t is now known as kingrayray [07:47] hobbitboy, if you have a lot time on your hands and wanna make the system do exactly what you want, go with e17 (enlightenment beta) if you want it to just work, look nice, and be fast, you would use fluxbox [07:48] hobbitboy, see "fluxbuntu" might save you some hassle [07:48] OK, totaly frustrated now don't know a gui from a apt thingy, [07:48] Ok I have tried just about everything and I can not get sound in ubuntu. If anyone can help me I would really appretiate it. [07:48] nikrud: no, it's there but I believe it's corrupted check this http://pastebin.org/26120 [07:48] cool, will do. how can i find out which command i need to use exactly to uninstall gnome? i know desktop is ubundu-desktop but im not sure about gnome. [07:48] lnxnwbe: I missed what you are trying to do [07:48] lnxnwbe, a GUI means graphical user interface, its the stuff you can click on, its when you dont have to use the console to start something [07:49] hobbitboy, hang on a sec [07:49] svenstaro: ok i get that, go on.... [07:49] Svenstaro, when I choose the ext3 partition in the ubuntu installer, it says that I have not root file system defined. How can I fix this? [07:49] lnxnwbe, a frontend is usually a GUI for an application which helps you do stuff [07:50] Hello everyone. I want to build deb packages from the gcc source package ( which is obtained using "apt-get source gcc-4.2" ). But I only want to build i386, with C/C++ only. How should I do this ? [07:50] hobbitboy, try sudo apt-get remove gnome-* [07:50] thanks [07:50] waistless, "E: Couldn't find package openal0a" [07:50] see i thoought you had to add the reposatory line to synaptek package manager as third party [07:50] stevenx, you NEED one partition mounted as / [07:50] StevenX: your ext3 mount point needs to be / (I think that's where you are at [07:50] hehe [07:50] This is what I have tried so far...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449....no luck [07:50] nikrud: I'm really confused by that 17 [07:51] * DistroJockey bows to Svenstaro [07:51] DistroJockey, what did I do? :( [07:51] shubbar: sorry, it's sudo apt-get install libopenal0a [07:51] elpargo: me too :( [07:51] my file searching has stopped working... gutsy x64... what do i do? [07:51] svenstaro: ok i understand that makes sense.. [07:51] Svenstaro: you be doing good. It's all good :) [07:51] I am using 7.10 if that helps [07:52] Svenstaro & DistroJockey, thanks. [07:52] anyone?... [07:52] dishayu, you mean like updatedb doesnt work? or the frontend? [07:52] StevenX: np, yw [07:52] Svenstaro, do I need to set a swamp partition? I have 3 gigs of RAM, so is it necessary? [07:52] stevenx, I would recommend against a swamp partition, tho a SWAP partition comes in handy [07:52] svenstaro: i am using 7.10 distro ok, i want to add the gpg thingy to my keyringy thingy and thats all geek to me [07:52] Svenstaro : erm.. the search button in the home folder... :| [07:52] StevenX: yes, 3.5GB max should be plentyy [07:53] Would anyone in here be able to help a rookie with a sound problem? [07:53] lol Svenstaro [07:53] waistless, "libopenal0a is already the newest version." [07:53] so no swap partition, got it. [07:53] elpargo I'd do this: mount /dev/ /mnt && mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev && mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc && cp /proc/mounts /mnt/etc/mtab && sudo chroot /bin/bash && sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub && sudo update-grub && sudo grub-install /dev/ [07:53] yes, have a swap [07:53] svenstaro: i am at the web site and it is spelled out in seriously almost another language [07:53] shubbar: so it's already installed. I'm not sure what the problem might be then [07:53] yes, have a swap [07:53] StevenX, if you do really heavy stuff you need a swap partition, or linux instantly crashes when you run outta ram === Thanatos is now known as cE_uChuL [07:54] elpargo I tend to stick with using the package management stuff [07:54] could it be from my usb speakers? [07:54] Svenstaro, guess it doesn't hurt to do it. How big would you recommend? [07:54] also, my keyboard seems really slow, like it doesn't register every 1-3 keys i press unless i press it really slowly. i know its not the keyboard because on xp its fine (im dual booting now). any ideas? is it just it being slow because of gnome running + 128MB ram? [07:54] stevenx, 4GB should be plenty [07:54] svenstaro: do you follow what i am trying to do? [07:54] "detlef@MD97600:~$ hostid; 007f0101." What does the number 007f0101 mean? (I did read man hostid.) [07:54] Svenstaro, for the swap alone? [07:54] StevenX: and if you wan't to go into hibernate, you need the size of your RAM [07:54] what file system shoudl the swap be? [07:54] would anyone in here be willing to point me in the direction of an IRC channel to get help with sound in ubuntu? [07:54] hobbitboy, yes its because of that, you need at least 386mb of ram to run ubuntu [07:55] StevenX: linux swap [07:55] stevenx, yes, tho you might be able to cut it to 2gb [07:55] svenstaro: to run ubuntu-desktop you mean? === cE_uChuL is now known as cE_uChul [07:55] say does anyone here want to run banshee 1.0 Alpha 2?

[07:55] bullgard4 intersting, I get the same number [07:55] Does anyone know how to prevent Ubuntu (or whatever is causing the problem) from maximizing my brightness setting 30 seconds after I set it something lower with Lenovo X60's Fn keys? [07:55] i don't have a gutsy tester for the banshee-team's ppa yet =\ [07:55] svenstaro : is this an unsolves issue.. it's in ubuntu forums as well http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588143 === cE_uChul is now known as cE_uChuL [07:56] svenstaro: wait do i type this in terminal???? [07:56] nikrud: So I gather that it is Ubuntu-Gutsy related. [07:56] lnxnwbe, well, what do you want to do? [07:56] svenstaro: well, if i uninstall the GUI and install the lightweight one, will it be an issue anymore? [07:56] distrojockey nadda man [07:56] terminhell: :( [07:56] adding source lists to repositories [07:57] hobbitboy, you should probably start with fluxbuntu, its lighter all around, [07:57] distrojockey if i remove any values after the vga= or just change a value when i try to tty i just get what looks like an old nintendo cartridge crash lol [07:57] terminhell: so you had a vga= line and you removed it from the kernel you are booting? [07:57] hi, does anyone know how to play encrypted DVD's? I have libdvdcss2 installed, but that isn't helping [07:57] elpargo could be. This would take that out of the equations [07:57] svenstaro: is that a separate distro or a gui? [07:57] Can anyone help me with sound in ubuntu? [07:57] anyone know some tips on controlling display brightness in gutsy? [07:57] * hobbitboy just googles [07:57] distrojockey should i just omit the line via another #? [07:57] terminhell: you removed the whole "vga=???" part? [07:57] bullgard4 not sure. I had never run that command before, not sure exactly what it's trying to tell us [07:57] hobbitboy, you can use fluxbox without uninstalling gnome [07:58] distrojockey no i didnt....>,< [07:58] Dam778: what system are you running on? [07:58] hobbitboy, its just a ubuntu deriverate [07:58] 7.10 [07:58] terminhell: try that, just delete vga=???

I'm suprised I only got that typo wrong ;) [07:59] svenstaro:SWEET i got it just copied and pasted into a terminal windo [07:59] Dam778: yes [07:59] can anyone please help me with the speed of other computer? It is driving me nuts by taking minutes just to browse through directories or move the mouse. it does running normally every now and then but it only lasts for a few seconds [07:59] hi, does anyone know how to play encrypted DVD's? I have libdvdcss2 installed, but that isn't working [07:59] nikrud: I appreciate your comment. So I better be careful yet and not saucy.

[07:59] PII 400 mhz with 380 of ram === [r00723r0] is now known as r00723r0 [08:00] bullgard4 heh. you germans are never saucy :) [08:00] hobbitboy, because uninstalling those kills all the ram eating gnome services [08:00] soundcard is a cirrus logic 46something [08:00] thanks [08:00] hellhound: in a terminal, type: top (is your CPU really busy?) [08:00] Dam778: know what soundcard or motherboard? [08:00] lnxnwbe np [08:00] u 2 distro jocky for offering to help [08:00] Dam778: i [08:00] nikrud: At least some in the German IRC channels are...

I have libdvdcss2 installed, but that isn't helping [08:01] you guys have a nice morning i am outa here for now peace: [08:01] svenstaro: no i mean, if i uninstall those, would it be the trouble of downloading, burning, and installing fluxbuntu? ive already got ubuntu on on the computer. [08:02] nikrud: grub-install has never work well for me, but I ran it from the grub console within the chroot and I got the exact same error. [08:02] Svenstaro & DistroJockey, I am installing now. Thank you for all the help. [08:02] ok [08:02] Once I start running from the hdd, I will try and get the sound to work. That is the one thing I can't ever get working. [08:02] StevenX: Cool, good luck and np, yw [08:02] grub-install gives me "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." [08:02] bullgard4, you using a medion laptop? [08:02] I found the soundcard its Cirrus Logic CS 4610/11 [08:03] Svenstaro__: Yes I do. [08:03] elpargo grub-install is a bash script, don't think it runs from grub console [08:03] elpargo: I've never had much fixing grub :( [08:03] Svenstaro__, I was just telling DistroJockey and you that I'm installing now and thanks for the help. [08:03] bullgard4 sucks :( Once had a medion, it doesnt like linux so much [08:03] Dam778: run 'lspci' in terminal and it will tell you what card you have [08:03] nikrud: no no I ran the usual root/setup/quit [08:03] oh nevermind i see [08:03] elpargo hem. do you have a separate /boot partition? [08:03] Dam778: nevermind i see [08:03] stevenx, ah great :) Well welcome in Ubuntu, enjoy your stay [08:03] nikrud: how can i tell? i do not have my hd light working... I have 3 physical SATA hardrives combined with RAID 5 (this is a samba computer used for nothing else but file server) [08:04] DistroJockey: same here, I never really paid more atention to the output as it has always worked. [08:04] hi, does anyone know how to play encrypted DVD's? I have libdvdcss2 installed, but that isn't helping [08:04] nikrud: no just a separate /home [08:04] Svenstaro__: I agree. But grml and Ubuntu were the only distributions that were able to run on this computer when I bought it about 2 years ago. [08:04] nikrud: /boot has the files it should from within the chroot [08:04] Hi all. Ubuntu noob here. just installed it and while downloading package information, I am seeing failed files [08:04] hellhound ah, not sure then. I was thinking you might have gotten into swap a lot [08:04] Is this notrmal? [08:04] DistroJockey: no top seems to be fine but the load average is 1.36, 1.16, 1.20 [08:04] Any one know any other OpenOffice games other than starwars and tictactoe? [08:04] If it helps my motherboard has on board audio as well. [08:05] elpargo I've never run into that error with a /boot on the root myself, kinda at a loss too then [08:05] bullgard4, I'm afraid I can't really help you with medion, the chipsets they use are too randomly chosen [08:05] please need an example for make a simple daemon that launch a zenity --info each 10 minutes, anyone can help to me please, thanks friends and morning [08:05] elpargo possibly run fsck on the partition? [08:05] lothar: probably a sync error, try redownloading. [08:05] I just don't know how to find out which motherboard I have with a terminal command. [08:05] hellhound: sounds normal, sorry, no ideas atm. Your system still slow? [08:05] unop_ good day :) [08:05] People,, If you have OpenOffice type =GAME("StarWars") in to any cell in OO SpreadSheet [08:05] DeadLy_sp_, why not just put that line into a cron job? [08:05] hi, does anyone know how to play encrypted DVD's? I have libdvdcss2 installed, but that isn't helping [08:06] elpargo that's kinda grabbing at straws though [08:06] Svenstaro where? :s [08:06] Dam778: try this link - the third post down says how to revert to an older sound driver for that card - are you using an older Thinkpad by any chance? [08:06] Dam778" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11381 [08:06] nikrud: I'm as lost as you are, this has been trivial for me for several years now....

[08:06] Dam778: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11381 [08:06] Svenstaro__: I do not think that this MD97600 computer uses exotic chipsets. It's almost all Intel. But some detail deviates from the main stream apparently. [08:06] elpargo lilo anyone ;) [08:06] distrojockey nadda....i deleted the whole vga=xxx this time [08:06] no to the think pad [08:07] Svenstaro yes, but how chech it each second? [08:07] DistroJockey: yes it have been running slow since i installed. there is no compiz or anything really running and my ps aux is available at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61564 [08:07] nikrud: nah, grub is much more cool :) [08:07] bullgard4, what exactly is your trouble again? [08:07] JDSBlueDevl, you need to install libcss2 or something like that. i think medibuntu is the place to find it [08:07] I am using a dell dimension XPS400 [08:07] !medibuntu [08:07] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [08:07] DeadLy_sp_ excuse me? [08:07] terminhell: so you get just a flashing underscore in the top left in all virtual consoles still?

[08:08] I said that already [08:08] DeadLy_sp_, if you need a real simple one that goes off every few minutes, put a custom cron job into /etc/cron.d [08:08] i know make personal script on ~/bin/ but... daemons not [08:08] JDSBlueDevl, how is it not working? [08:08] <|lilox|_> hi, i want to run a program and this showme that i dont have a shared libraries libpthread.so.0 [08:08] terminhell: removing the vga= bit was the only thing I have seen. Out of ideas, sorry [08:08] nic - I am back after a full install. What would you recommend as my first step? [08:08] err anyone have any idea why when I try and do a modprobe capability I get invalid argument [08:08] because its stopping me starting bind :( [08:09] Svenstaro ahhhh ok, i go to search info about "cron /etc/cron.d [08:09] it keeps asking if libdvdcss2 is installed, when it clearly is [08:09] Svenstaro__: no i mean, if i uninstall gnome/ubuntu-desktop, would it be the trouble worth it to download, burn, and install fluxbuntu? ive already got ubuntu on on the computer, why go through all that trouble if i can just uninstall that stuff, will it still be slow? [08:09] DeadLy_sp_, okay, go ahead :) [08:09] terminhell: unless you also try removing quiet and bootsplash *shrugs* [08:09] do you think it's b/c the region isn't set on the drive? [08:09] distrojockey there is another line here: "xenkopt=console=tty0" [08:09] np Dam778 [08:09] terminhell: ooo [08:10] hobbitboy, well I assume fluxbuntu is already optimized, tho you can try [08:10] So, I'm trying to install the hardy beta in a vmware server instance to be ready for the release when it comes out. I've built 2 RAID1 sets and a LVM on top, with root and home partitions on top, no swap, with 2GB of ram allocated just to get a rough idea. [08:10] terminhell: xen hey?

[08:34] goob: Here's a start: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/135039 [08:34] Dr_Willis ok I have been follow the link you gave me and I am confused a little [08:34] but cant do it in windows [08:34] Shadow420, what link for what? :) [08:34] goob: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642151&highlight=toshiba+screen+brightness this link may help you may have to edit it for your system but its a start [08:34] seem like in ubuntu i can use up my internet bandwidth to the limit [08:34] can that be fix in XP? [08:34] I wanted to boot linux using WinXP Bootloader [08:35] winxp hates linux [08:35] are you sure you are even able to do that? [08:35] Shadow420, i dont recall that question at all.. its doable. I hear. but never done it. [08:35] !grub [08:35] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:36] yes, hyperair and Shadow420, it's both possible and works well. it needs some tinkering to get it going though [08:36] Shadow420: This may help: http://jaeger.morpheus.net/linux/ntldr.php [08:36] why don't you just use grub as the main bootloader? [08:36] DistroJockey: tells me level: 7 <> commands: up, down <> commands level ( is 0-7) [08:36] then ubuntu can boot, and you can choose windows from the list [08:36] much better imo [08:36] i find it easier to keep the linux grub on the linux hd. and just use the BIOS menus to pick what HD to boot. [08:36] im 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] Shadow420: i think i read about it in the dual boot HOWTO on TLDP [08:36] distrojockey: it works now :) thx [08:36] d0lphin_n0el: did you rememeber to type ./configure ? [08:36] d0lphin_n0el, i think you need the kernel header files. and of course the build-essential package [08:36] ok then I need a link on it [08:37] terminhell: sweet, np :) [08:37] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [08:37] d0lphin_n0el: run the command i said above [08:37] Dr_willis i tyr this :X and [08:37] now i just gotta remember the name of the chat app i used to have that ran from terminal... [08:37] hyperair what command?! [08:37] !irssi [08:37] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. [08:37] hmm - just sent it to sleep lol [08:37] because I want to keep WinXP bootloader as my primary bootloader [08:37] i 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] guess that wasn't the right fn key lol [08:38] ok ok thanks lets e try [08:38] Shadow420: Google boot linux from xp bootloader (may get some info from that) [08:38] hey all [08:38] will the other linux overwrtie the bootloader so that i cant get into ubuntu ?? [08:38] d0lphin_n0el: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [08:38] anyone here have any experiance with Open Swan? [08:38] d0lphin_n0el: then you try compiling again [08:38] kelvin911, you will need to remove one primary and make a extended partitionm that can hold the logicals. if you want more then 4 partitions [08:38] ubotu ya that was the irc one i used to use, but there is one that uses the yahoo and msn protocols too [08:38] kelvin911, 4 primary partitions max. thats the limit. [08:39] ubotu = bot [08:39] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [08:39] !ubotu [08:39] :( [08:39] xD [08:39] can i change that D: from primary to extended? [08:39] kelvin911, 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] D: awesome emoticon imo [08:39] =D [08:39] without frying my ext3 partition? [08:39] kelvin911, changing from 'primary to extended' is not easially done. [08:39] Sven: 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? [08:40] hobbitboy, you only need to format the ext3 partiton on tell ubuntu its your / mountpoint [08:40] can i ask for help in this chatroom? [08:40] JDSBlueDevl, any progress? [08:40] magnetron no configure is one module :x Dr_willis> i allready install the build-essential hyperair i remove and try again the download and nathing [08:40] same mistake [08:40] !ask | msingh [08:40] msingh: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [08:40] can i use any partition manager in ubuntu to do that for me? [08:40] >>>linux/config.h: No such file or directory <<< [08:41] kelvin911, i always use a live cd and gparted to do my repartining needs [08:41] msingh: sorry :( [08:41] i use apt-get clean and apt-ge autoclean and nathing [08:41] reinstall :X [08:41] DistroJockey, no prob :) [08:41] X_x [08:41] the reason i have d: as primary was that i was going to install vista and try out there [08:41] could anyone help me to install themes? i searched for theme install guide but that didnt help me =) [08:41] d0lphin_n0el: "configure is one module"? i don't understand that. "./configure" is a command you usually need to run to be able to compile [08:41] kelvin911, if anything can help, the gpatred live cd can [08:41] but i didnt find any workable download version of it [08:41] lux, themes for what exactly.. and a theme is normally made of differnt parts. [08:42] lux: did you download any gnome themes? [08:42] then i go ahead and installed ubuntu [08:42] magnetron yes but not in the spcaxx5-source [08:42] w8 [08:42] http://www.xfce-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&xcontentmode=15x100x420 [08:42] this site [08:42] i dl themes from there [08:42] does anyone feel like installing banshee 1.0 alpha 2 on gutsy? =D [08:42] lux, gnome-art - install GNOME themes from art.gnome.org - I use this tool todownload the theme parts. then I just drag/drop them into the first tab of the gnoem theme manager tool and it installs them. [08:42] i need someone to help me test the banshee-team ppa [08:42] unless i tryto extract the ... [08:42] i looked for theme install guides but didnt help me [08:43] xfce is another story..... :) no idea on it [08:43] lux, do you use xfce/xubuntu? [08:43] d0lphin_n0el: are you SURE? it seems to look for it. look for the INSTALL file, it should give you instructions [08:43] will gparted corrupt my file table? [08:43] kelvin911, no [08:43] what if there is power outage during the re partitioning [08:43] kelvin911, it pays to have backups [08:43] xfce? what this means.... if u mean what version i use then 7.10 if not then i dont know what u mean [08:43] lux, xfce is a different desktop then gnome. [08:44] hmm [08:44] how can i backup my ubuntu partition? [08:44] kelvin911, the worst that can happen is the drive is wiped [08:44] how do i know which i got? [08:44] fce or gnome [08:44] lux, do you have a brown theme? [08:44] lux, what did you install? [08:44] i dont want to reinstall and setup the theme and everything if there is a failure [08:44] im kind a new to ubuntu =) started yesterday [08:44] hmm [08:44] took me a week to setup the way i want now [08:44] ubuntu - gnome , xubuntu = xfce, kubuntu -= kde [08:45] yes i have brown theme atm [08:45] is there something similar to norton ghost in ubuntu? [08:45] open your home dir and look in the help/about item :) see what it says [08:45] maybe ubuntu ghost :) ? [08:45] lux: try going to System - Preferences - Appearance then drag and drop your theme file in that window [08:45] kelvin911, mondo/mindi, and other tools also. [08:45] w8 i got 1 question... [08:46] kelvin911, thers a g4l tool also i recall [08:46] Svenstaro__, /etc/crontab :) [08:46] fire away, lux [08:46] can i check my partition now? [08:46] how to activate "theme" aplication .... [08:46] how can i run gpart in [08:46] here [08:46] DeadLy_sp_, yes that one works too, but I prefer an individual file per cronjob [08:46] kelvin911, install/run gparted [08:47] is gpart command base? [08:47] or gui? [08:47] gui [08:47] Svenstaro__, i dont understand per cronjob :/ [08:47] If one is a TOTAL beginner to Linux/Ubuntu - checkout the Ubuntu training Book - Free/pdf format --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [08:47] system,preferences,theme (i got to have "theme" in preferences window right?) i dont have any of [08:47] kelvin911, install/run it and find out. :) [08:47] kelvin911, its a gui to the parted command line tools [08:47] DeadLy_sp_ in /etc/cron.d theres one single file for each cron job === steven__ is now known as StevenX [08:48] nathing :x [08:48] how do i set a fn key to run a script? [08:48] lux, go to system->preferences->appearance [08:48] magnetron> yesim a shure im make the tuturials right ... [08:48] im there [08:48] everyone says to i do this but looks it nathing works [08:48] >>>linux/config.h: No such file or directory <<< [08:48] has anybody ever gotten sound working with virtual keyboard ver1.9 or ZynAddSubFX synth? i can see in Zyn the chan moves as though its producing sound but i can hear nothing... it states that the OSS outwave device is /dev/dsp but i don't know if this is correct. any thoughts? [08:48] lux, there are no themes there? [08:49] yes there are [08:49] sudo get-apt gpart ?? [08:49] d0lphin_n0el: what does the INSTALL file tell you? [08:49] but those old ones [08:49] i want to use my downloaded themes [08:49] guys, i can't get my sound to work [08:49] kelvin911, - 'apt-cache search PATTERN' to find package names.. its gparted [08:49] can anyone help out? [08:49] gparted? [08:49] anybody know how to configure fn keys? [08:49] lux, drag any gnome (gnome-look) themes into there [08:49] i choosed Install- then i choosed package folder but got some kind error [08:49] lux, drag and drop. dont use the install button. [08:50] kelvin911: sudo apt-get install gpart [08:50] lux, choose the compressed tar.gz file [08:50] what is different between sudo get-apt, add/remove in menu, synaptic in system menu ??? [08:50] okei [08:50] kelvin911, not much. [08:50] or gparted [08:50] w8 ill try [08:50] kelvin911, whats 'shown' to the user mainly. [08:50] magnetron just to do the command he says to i do and the just type make and make install [08:50] kelvin911, the latter two are feontends to apt-get [08:51] kelvin911 - synaptic is just a GUI front end for apt [08:51] i found that add/remove is better for me [08:51] d0lphin_n0el: what command does he tell you to do? [08:51] because there is a description on what the software does [08:51] kelvin911 - if you want to keep better track of dependencies, i suggest reading up on aptitude [08:51] Svenstaro__, done, i've created /etc/cron.d/bot with 1 * * * * deadly firefox google.es and now? [08:52] DeadLy_sp_, make it executable [08:52] whats dependencies? [08:52] sound [08:52] kelvin911, yes, read up on aptitude, it handles dependabcies best [08:52] whats that? [08:52] magnetron make and make install [08:52] kelvin911, packages that other packages need to run [08:52] Svenstaro__, done [08:52] god i hope i didn't erase my main disk [08:52] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [08:52] * hobbitboy hates partitioning [08:52] to have the sourceskernel files [08:52] like the dll in system32 in windows? [08:53] DeadLy_sp_ now wait a bit :) [08:53] ce g toh [08:53] and it missing me config.h [08:53] Svenstaro__, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks ! [08:53] lets e try here something :X [08:53] kelvin911, they have the same purpose, but different system of managing them [08:53] DeadLy_sp_ np === sayap_ikarus is now known as ce_montok [08:53] !helpersnack [08:53] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [08:53] aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken. lol [08:53] lol [08:54] hyyyyyy [08:54] so which one handles dependancies better? [08:54] aptitude [08:54] DistroJockey, like there was any application ever that wasnt y2k complaiant [08:54] i prefer apt-get all the same [08:54] sudo get-apt install, or add/remove, or synaptic? [08:54] bad memories with aptitude [08:54] m,yhyhtyj uy, [08:54] Svenstaro__: hehe :) [08:54] kelvin911 - 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 user [08:54] Svenstaro__: was a fun year [08:54] if i'm not mistaken apt-get is used by synaptic [08:54] and aptitude doesn't play well with apt-get [08:54] so if you use synaptic make sure you stick with apt-get all the way [08:54] Svenstaro__: next is the Y10K bug [08:54] hyperair - correct [08:55] aptitude is a seperated software? [08:55] no [08:55] hm Svenstaro__ not work, i can't see a new tab on my firefox [08:55] i chose compressed tar.gz file,drag and drop .......i did it but it dont let ...nothing happens [08:55] in some ways it is, but others it isn't, kelvin911 [08:55] yes kelvin911 [08:55] DistroJockey, no, when all unix times reset to 0, Ill have to search for when that is, buts its some 20 years ahead [08:55] kelvin911 - yes and it should come with your distro [08:55] but it uses a similar packaging backend [08:55] which is the APT [08:55] can anyone help me get my sound working? [08:56] so they all manage the same packages [08:56] kelvin911, I have used apt-get and add remove together and had no probs so far [08:56] just some do it differently from others [08:56] DeadLy_sp_ can you upload the file you made to some paste service? [08:56] i use apt-get install and autoremove [08:56] !alsa | StevenX [08:56] StevenX: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [08:56] Svenstaro__: The Y10K bug is for the use of 9999 in accounting systems [08:56] is there any website other than tinypic can upload picture? [08:56] !paste | DeadLy_sp_ [08:56] DeadLy_sp_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:56] !alsa [08:56] i hate heavy flash website [08:56] imageshack.us [08:56] hate flash [08:57] Svenstaro__, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6214/ [08:57] anybody know how to configure fn keys? [08:58] hi, i followed this guide for recompliling my kernel https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [08:58] Svenstaro__: Miss read you, will have to look into that, as I will still be alive then I hope (not like the 10k one :)) [08:58] DeadLy_sp_, first of, add this to the very beginning, it needs to be the first line: #!/bin/sh [08:58] http://img180.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3mp0.png [08:58] ethan961, how know which 1 is (gnome-look) :/ [08:58] so what should i do with it? [08:58] lux, http://gnome-look.org [08:58] DeadLy_sp_, then make all paths absolute, as in, provide the path to firefox bin, find it by typing "whereis firefox" [08:58] k [08:58] is 4GB swap good enough? [08:58] anyone know how to get broadcom wireless drivers [08:59] kevin911 how much is your RAM? [08:59] kelvin911, that is waaaay too large [08:59] can i resize parition of c and d without loss data? [08:59] axmking - have you tried their website? [08:59] too large? [08:59] ethan961 not too large... if you have an oversized RAM [08:59] Svenstaro__, yes, and if i need find a script on ~/bin i need add /home/deadly/bin true? [08:59] kelvin911, way too large [08:59] kelvin911, yes, as long as you dont power off the comp [08:59] you need that much space to store all your RAM contents for hibernating [08:59] what do u mean? [08:59] DeadLy_sp_ exactly [09:00] I am trying to get support for my 8Gb of installed memory without going to i386_64bit OS. I also use the nvidia and vmware restricted modules. The versions when i follow the guide dont match. Is this any issue? IE (linux-source-2.6.22-9 compared to linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14) [09:00] axmking - if you can dl the XP drivers you can use ndiswrapper-1.9 [09:00] how can i find out what my soundcard is? [09:00] is it bad? [09:00] kevin911 when you hibernate, all your RAM contents are stored in your swap [09:00] ya i tried the website but when they say click on the drop down for firmware [09:00] i dont see that drop down [09:00] StevenX type "sudo lshw -C audio" [09:00] the swap too large is it badd? [09:00] !broadcom | axmking [09:00] axmking: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [09:00] thanks [09:00] kevin911 your swap should be approx 1.5 x RAM [09:00] kelvin911, it is a waste of space [09:00] i got lots [09:01] dont worry, i have another 3 external, 120GB, 500Gb, and 500GB [09:01] Svenstaro__, I get nothing when i type that in. [09:01] kevin911: not bad, but you lock up your disk space into your swap and can't use it to store files [09:01] StevenX try sound instead of audio [09:01] hyperair can u explain more? [09:01] hyperair, if you have more than 2 gigs of ram you don't need a swap === ronnie is now known as honeypot [09:01] ethan961: you can't hibernate without swap [09:01] Svenstaro__, that worked, thanks. [09:01] lock my space into swap? [09:02] kelvin911 - how big is your internal drive? [09:02] 250 GB [09:02] kevin911: swap is a partition, as is your root [09:02] 250 GB Western Digital SATA [09:02] if you have a humongous swap you can't reclaim it for disk space easily, not without resizing partitions [09:02] kelvin911 - you don't want to cramp things up for virtual memory on the boot drive [09:02] hello. can I upgrade to hardy without connecting to the internet? I have the alternate cd. [09:02] Can someone tell me what I need to make a RTL8186 wireless card work with Ubuntu? [09:02] ddd [09:02] kevin911: but since you've got humongous disk space, a swap of 4GB seems insignificant ;_; [09:03] ok sorry but i still have a problem. they keep asking for this firmware drop down in restricted devices but there isnt one [09:03] bloops, i would wait till its actually released. [09:03] Can anyone help me with Flash player in Opera? [09:03] bloops: pop the disk in, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade [09:03] gABUNGB DONG [09:03] I can't watch youtube videos with the Opera browser :( [09:03] goob what do u mean? [09:03] drivers* [09:03] my ubuntu is installed in the 3rd one ext3 [09:03] Dr_willis: ok thank you. [09:03] tung: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [09:03] kelvin911 - lol yeah i wouldn't worry about 4GB then, unless you are running a missile trajectory program lolol [09:03] bloops: not that I did though :) [09:03] tung: you should ask the Opera team for support on your Opera browser [09:03] Svenstaro__, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6215/ [09:03] HALLO ,CAN I JOIN WITH YOU ALL [09:03] i have 1 GB RAM of memory [09:04] DeadLy_sp_, you still didnt give firefox an absolute path [09:04] hyperair: E: Coulnd't find package flashplayer-nonfree [09:04] !hi | gie [09:04] gie: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:04] kevin911: i've got 1.2GB RAM, and my swap is... 1.50GB [09:04] kelvin911, a 2 gig swap is good [09:04] on the large side [09:04] tung: enable your restricted repositories [09:04] and i may decide to upgrade to 2GB later and i hear someone said i need at least 2 times RAM for swap so i choose 4GB swap [09:04] Svenstaro__, /usr/bin/firefox works [09:04] hyperair: or is it flashplugin-nonfree ? [09:04] anyone know how to make the firmware dropdown in restricted drivers magically appear? [09:05] flashplugin-nonfree [09:05] kelvin911 - you should be fine with how you have it set up - but you could easily save a couple gigs of space by resizing you swap partition - if it's worth you time lol [09:05] tung:flashplugin-nonfree [09:05] how do i mute / unmute in alsa? M doesn't seem to do anything [09:05] DeadLy_sp_ Im only now seeing that youre cron script would only start every first minute of an hour, I think what you want to accomplish is this: 60/* * * * * [09:05] tung: my bad [09:05] Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make a RTL8186 wireless card work with Ubuntu? [09:05] kelvin911, when you have that much ram you only need a swap the size if the ram [09:05] hyperair: ok [09:05] axmking - 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 already [09:05] kevin911: unless you run multiple virtual machines (which you can't with that little RAM) you don't need such a humongous swap [09:05] should i put /home to other partition other than in the parition with ubuntu installed? [09:06] kevin911: yes that is advisable [09:06] hyperair: i got this in the end "The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [09:06] " [09:06] DistroJockey: I executed the cdromupgrade.sh file in the cd. it does not ask to upgrade automatic.

After i uptdated 7.04 to 7.10 can't log in - screens constatly changes =(. Canq somebody help me, with a link? [09:35] when i got windows xp i used Winamps cause that was loud :D now using this music player what ubuntu got at first ...its so silent [09:35] DistroJockey:well,I don't quite understand [09:35] I never thought ubuntu would need 4GB. What does it do with all that space?? [09:35] hey, since I upgraded my server from ubuntu 7.04 to ubuntu 7.10, it crashes after being up for almost exactly 7 days :/ keeps getting kernel panic, when I had 7.04, the uptime topped around 150 days, any ideas why I keep getting that error? [09:36] todd_: you had a comma in the address you posted [09:36] lux: change your master volume. upper right corner of the screen [09:36] ooo|ooo: its got to have space to run programs and install the base system along with anything else you want to install. dont forget about swap space... [09:36] magnetron te modle dont work :x === liEta_cuTe is now known as shie^^ [09:36] i did that first thing when i got ubuntu :D still too silent [09:36] ooo|ooo: Look, My Vista laptop came with 20GB filled. 4GB is something to be happy about. [09:36] ani1: yeah, but 4GB still seems insanely much to me. [09:36] zero_ - 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 in === shie^^ is now known as shie [09:37] magnetron: what u think about quodlibet ? [09:37] ooo|ooo: its not like mydsl.. ubuntu comes with quite a bit its not stripped bare boned [09:37] DistroJockey:you mean i should try news.usenet.com?yes ,I tried,did not work! [09:37] ooo|ooo when you install a server ubuntu and build up the size makes a lot more sense [09:37] qinjuehan1: not for me. im a programmer myself and i know that even huge huge huge applications can be implemented in way less then 1MB. MB not GB! [09:37] i bought a new dell laptop.... [09:37] anyone has had this, fdisk -l shows the correct partition table but gparted shows it as one block. [09:37] ooo|ooo: Ubuntu has a lot of packaged software. Windows does not come with Photoshop, Ubuntu comes with Gimp. [09:37] lux: what do you think about fail2ban? [09:37] my ubuntu alreeady used up about 9 GB [09:37] and i ordered it with no O/S [09:37] best decision ever ;) [09:37] 4GB seem nothing === shie is now known as liEta_cuTe [09:38] ooo|ooo: Don't forget bitmaps for the UI :D [09:38] qinjuehan1: yupp. but since the CD itself only needs 700mb i thought 2GB should be enough. [09:38] anyone ever wonder... how the old console games could be made with so little data? [09:38] ooo|ooo: programs also need space to run you cant just fill it to the brim it will be very slow [09:38] like, 64k. [09:38] fail2ban ? :S [09:38] do i need to defrag my ubuntu partition? [09:38] ooo|ooo: It is a compressed read-only Filesystem [09:38] talntid i have [09:38] qinjuehan1: bitmaps dont have to be big. look at websites. they got their gui in a few kb normally. [09:38] kelvin911: Not unless you use more than 85% of your space [09:38] ooo|ooo - yeah but the CD is compressed and contains lots of uninstalled packages [09:38] amazing how they can fit 32mbs in a amazing game isnt it? [09:39] ooo|ooo: Jpeg!=PNG [09:39] todd_: you said .com,nl right, I just thought that you should .com.nl instead [09:39] goob,qinjuehan1: ok. didnt know about the compresion of the cd. [09:39] so if have 150 GB for ubuntu i should not have to worry about defrag? [09:39] even if i do lots of download and delete files? [09:39] !defrag | kelvin911 [09:39] kelvin911: 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] kelvin911 no defragging in linux [09:39] todd_: .lt (sorry) [09:39] anyone, can ubuntu be instaled on fujitsu siemes containing vista on it? [09:39] goob, alright, i have NO idea how to do that, but thanks for your help, at least now i know what direction to go with it [09:40] Hi, when I attempt to connect to a Cisco VPN in Gutsy, I'm getting the error described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-597288.html [09:40] todd_: just trying to say that , is different to . [09:40] zero_ lol neither do i, but i believe that the card reader is just a bus that the system needs to be config'd to recognize [09:41] kelvin911: 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 disk [09:41] i download a lot so i am worrying about fragmentation [09:41] kelvin911:torrenting creates fragmentation even in Ext3 [09:41] i guess i will BT download to my d:(NTFS) [09:41] zero_ so in theory, if this is correct, you would just need to add that port address to whatever .conf file maps your ports [09:41] what about straight http rapidshare download? [09:42] DistroJockey:but news.usenet.com.lt does not work either!would you please to advice some other newsgroups servers? [09:42] i usually download all stuffs to my external hard drive [09:42] Does anyone know where I can find information about making my Ubuntu have the Mac Os menubar? [09:42] kelvin911: It would be WORSE in NTFS...don't [09:42] because i hear that BT will damage HD [09:42] kelvin911 you generally dont need to worry about defragging, i dont [09:42] i dont care about that d:NTFS [09:42] tung: avant/awn [09:42] its for data only [09:43] kelvin911:It won't really *damage* the hardware, just slow down by fragmentation normally [09:43] ani1: whats that? [09:43] todd_: ahh, sorry. Maybe this page will help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet [09:44] tung: mac like dock station google it :) [09:44] =) [09:44] what if i download my stuffs to a temp external hd, after its 100% done, i move the files to my other external HD, is this a good idea? [09:44] ani1: okay thanks =D [09:44] kelvin911:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=169551 [09:45] kelvin911:And that will work, but maybe will waste a bit of time? === ncux-0guH04ka is now known as WhiteUser [09:45] thats what i am doing now [09:45] what is the channel name for evolution developers irc?? im sorry if this is the wrong place for this question.. [09:45] anyone using xen on ubuntu here? [09:45] todd_: you ISP may also have a usenet mirror [09:45] I'm sod to say that wikipedia seems not to be visited! <: [09:46] todd_: your^ [09:46] i download 1GB movie to one external HD, then move it to my other external HD so i keep fragmentation as low as possible [09:46] heres a fragmentation whitepaper https://ols2006.108.redhat.com/2007/Reprints/sato-Reprint.pdf [09:46] DistroJockey:not allowed to be visited [09:46] todd_: :( [09:47] but the external HD i used as downloading HD has lots of fragment [09:47] todd_: what country you in? [09:47] How do i sort of "reset" my Ubuntu? By that I mean restoring all settings to the defaults. ALL settings except for my bookmarks, pidgin accounts, things like that. But without re-installing. What kinds of directories do i have to move or delete to achieve that? I want to reset GNOME settings, default display manager, default preferred applications, default wallpaper, pretty much anything except personal settings like Evolution contacts and fir [09:47] can i defrag NTFS hard drive in ubuntu? [09:47] Sorry, I'm a bit offtopic here [09:47] DistroJockey:China!yes,China! [09:48] !offtopic | DistroJockey [09:48] DistroJockey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:48] Arelis: ;P [09:48] DistroJockey: bet you already knew that. Sorry, then. [09:49] Arelis: hehe [09:49] DistroJockey: Do you have an answer to my question, by the way? [09:49] can u dual boot more than 1 linux? [09:50] yes [09:50] Arelis: probably removing the hidden . folders in your home folder [09:50] 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 box [09:50] DistroJockey: that would mean destroying ALL settings [09:50] will installing other linux make it impossible to boot into ubuntu? [09:50] DistroJockey: Arelis the . folders are what contains pidgin information and preferences etc. [09:50] kelvin911 no [09:50] Chris|: good idea. [09:50] Arelis: depends which . folders you remove [09:51] DistroJockey: yes but when you delete .gnome/.gnome2/.gconf, for example, you lose ALL gnome settings. [09:51] so if i install lets say slackware, do i able to see the bootscreen at startup? [09:51] Arelis: maybe create a new user and copy over what you need (then delete if you wish) [09:51] DistroJockey: like installed themes === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [09:52] can i, after that, restore the name of the second account to the first one, again? [09:52] kelvin911: it would need to be on a different partition but you would see grub first you edit menu.lst to show ubuntu and whatever else you want the choose the OS you want to boot [09:52] how do i remove a program that comes with the ubuntu 7.10 install? [09:52] kelvin911 grub should give you a choice of the versions you want to boot [09:53] Arelis: I think so, but the UID will be different [09:53] dwm09: sudo apt-get remove [09:53] 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 beleive [09:53] believe* [09:53] Arelis: not tried, so use caution :) [09:53] theres no real need for ubuntu and linux mint. since theres not much diff in the 2. [09:54] mint has a pretty background, and smells good. [09:54] i was just giving a example Dr_willis [09:54] the CD has a scratch-n-sniff area. [09:54] !offtopic | Dr_willis [09:54] Dr_willis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:54] now i have XP in C:\, nothing in D:\ ubuntu in 3rd partition, swap in 4th partition http://img180.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3mp0.png [09:54] Chris|, :) now Ubuntu and geexbox. yes. [09:54] yep [09:54] i have 37GB free, can i install linuxMint? [09:54] no [09:54] you need 37.64gb free [09:54] heh [09:54] epic fail [09:54] lol [09:54] sorry :( [09:55] don't disrupt the channel [09:55] kelvin911, theres no need to mess with Mint at all. if you want to test out other disrtos. I suggest trying them inside vmware, or virtualbox. that will be MUCH easier. [09:55] kelvin911: how much ram do you have? [09:55] do i pick the 4th partition as swap for linuxMint? [09:55] kelvin911 if you wanted to waste more space with linux mint, then go ahead lol [09:55] fluxbuntu is sexy [09:55] i got lots of space dont worry [09:55] kelvin911, since mint is based on ubuntu you would be able to install the theme and standard applications for mint, [09:55] kelvin911: many linux's 1 swap (the same for all) [09:55] i got another 1000GB [09:55] when I start computer (ubuntu) having a usb flash disk tagged, ubuntu do not always see it. How can I make ubuntu ee my usb disc without putting usb out and in again [09:56] kelvin911, you have a swap fetish. :) if you have enough ram. swap wont even be getting used at all... [09:56] well, just in case [09:56] kelvin911, you may want to take the extra space and keep it as a 'backup' filesystem. [09:56] Dr_willis: kelvin911, except if you use hibernate right? [09:56] i remember when i was using photoshop in XP my swapfile blows up to like 2GB [09:57] DistroJockey, all bets are off there.. includeing the bet - if hibernate even works... [09:57] kelvin911 this is true, i have 2gb of ram, and barely use 50mbs out of the 5gb of swap space ubuntu gives you [09:57] Dr_willis: :) [09:57] I got 3gb ram. and never touch swap that i ever notice. [09:57] Why would you set your swap to 5gb if you only have 2gb of ram :\ [09:57] i normally put 512mb swap partition on every hard drive i have. [09:57] ani1 thats the default for my system? [09:57] this box has 3mb ram. and 512 or so of swap thats it. [09:58] Depending on the size of your monitor, you may never touch swap on 1GB of ram [09:58] 3mb?? [09:58] hah [09:58] 3mb wow that sucks [09:58] hello, could someone plz tell how to set my Ubuntu clock to summertime? [09:58] lmao [09:58] :) [09:58] GiB [09:58] :) [09:58] should i backup my system? [09:58] to external? [09:58] kelvin911: do you like losing data? ;) [09:58] does it have to be ext3? [09:58] kelvin911, can you afford to lose it? [09:58] Dr_willis, has the perfect amount for 32bit :) [09:58] kelvin911 no [09:58] i am just too lazy to backup [09:58] kelvin911 that would be a good use for your spare 37gig, place a partimage backup in there. [09:58] redundant array of external usb hard drives. :) [09:59] i guess i will start doing that now [09:59] ext3 is a good option though kelvin911 [09:59] has anyone any experience in establishing voice call to an msn partner? [09:59] how to put patimage backup? [09:59] i cant make hardy to show the correct time.. it just shows 2 hours less whatever i set [10:00] krychek, set the proper timezone? [10:00] <_kevin_> is there any software in the repos that would allow me to record television to an open format like ogg theora? [10:00] how can i see free memory? [10:00] albert, u mean webcam with msn in ubuntu? [10:00] hobbitboy, the free command. [10:00] kelvin911 get the partimage live disk and boot from that [10:00] _kevin_ there is Mythtv [10:00] <_kevin_> i know about mythtv but i don't want to use mpeg and i don't need anything that complex [10:00] <[M]Mikkel> Hello .. i need help .. I has Try and ./configure sBNC v1.1 .. It say i can not ./configure .. This Error are : checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables [10:00] hobbitboy: free [10:00] hobbitboy: type free -m into terminal [10:00] Mythtv? [10:00] willis: date command says my timezone is CET, which is correct [10:00] kelvin911: I mean only with a mic [10:00] [M]Mikkel, you did install the build-essential package? [10:01] is it backup software or TV channel? [10:01] _kevin you could use kaffeine [10:01] <[M]Mikkel> Dr_willis: No [10:01] hobbitboy to see free memory in terminal type: gnome-system-monitor [10:01] [M]Mikkel, there ya go. :) [10:01] mem: free: 4 = 4 meg free?! [10:01] [M]Mikkel, you have no c compiler installed then. heh.. (and yes this is a faq) :) [10:01] who am i talking to? [10:01] 4% hobbitboy? [10:01] krychek: you might want to try the #ubuntu+1 for Hardy related info [10:01] <[M]Mikkel> Dr_willis: Thx for helping [10:01] <[M]Mikkel> its working [10:01] <_kevin_> ok, thanks [10:02] total 106, used 102, free 4 [10:02] also setting the "home" on the world map should change the time.. shouldnt it? [10:02] i have 128MB, im assuming its 4MB [10:02] kelvin911: do you ask it from me? [10:02] [M]Mikkel, some source/programs may need other packages also [10:02] <[M]Mikkel> i has found error :D [10:02] <[M]Mikkel> seeya :) [10:02] hobbitboy probably then [10:02] albert_ how do u sedn those message? [10:02] in a yellow box [10:02] how do i reduce memory usage in fluxbox? [10:02] what command(s) would i use to add a line of code to the end of a bunch of files [10:03] kelvin911: I don't know === len_ is now known as Len [10:03] what do they say? [10:03] hobbitboy, fluxbox is about as minimal a window manager as you can get.. unless you want to try jwm. or wmx [10:03] the message u just send is in the box [10:03] oepnbox ftw [10:03] hobbit boy run top and see whats using resourses [10:03] :D I don't know [10:03] heh, just answered my next question koshari [10:03] I use Konversation under gutsy [10:03] sanzanric:redirection would help [10:03] this program is new for me [10:03] Dr_willis you have to remember though that its flux*buntu heh still eats up memory [10:04] albert, http://img525.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4mq3.png [10:04] how u do that? [10:04] Chris|, one could say that all loaded programs eat up memory. :) [10:04] a moment [10:04] lol Dr_willis [10:04] Good morning.

[10:12] itai-michaelson: that url you gave me was funny, I chopped some stuff off then end though: try this http://people.linux.org.tw/~pcman/ubuntu/ [10:12] kelvin911: THANKS [10:12] todd_: yes [10:12] albert__: for 500 minutes, but i guess u can sign up new account after the 500 minuts [10:12] hobbitboy htop is just like top but a bit better and with a h infront of it! :) [10:12] pc to pc is free [10:13] kelvin911: :D [10:13] sanzanric:perheps sed would help；!sed [10:13] but for PC to PC i found that skype is the best [10:13] talntid, if you cant find a similar one install that one with wine [10:13] sanzanric: « sed -i '/foo/d' file1 file2 » will remove all lines containing the word foo in file1 and file2 [10:13] kelvin911 there's a few apps for that in linux and skype works in linux [10:13] but oovoo can support up to 6 people webcam together [10:13] kelvin911: yes, but I have a 64bit AMD [10:13] kelvin911: it doesn't work [10:13] Chris|: yes i use skype [10:14] talntid, apt-cache search network | grep map --- gives a couple of answers --- seems to me you want lanmap [10:14] how do i upload the openpgp key which i have generated to the keyserver?? [10:14] todd_: alright, thanks [10:14] compwiz18, i see , without the end bits i can open it here as well. [10:14] itai-michaelson: yep, usually if you get the 404 you're doing good -- timing out is bad =P [10:15] compwiz18, 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 see [10:15] Can 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? [10:16] kelvin911: oovoo is not avaible for linux, and the windows edition is shareware too [10:16] kelvin911: i could try it with wine [10:16] Hey People! [10:17] Im trying to connect to a wlan access point I bought yesterday. [10:17] Any ideas how to do that? [10:17] itai-michaelson: ah, that's because apt needs the end bits, but when using a browser, you have to chop off the " ./" at the end [10:17] cjsstables: 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-desktop [10:17] !wifi | ooo|ooo [10:17] ooo|ooo: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:17] I can see the name of the wlan device under networks, but then what do i do? [10:18] HardyOne: 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] geirha.Ok. Can you point me to an instruction set for that [10:18] windows edition isnt shareware [10:18] its free [10:18] compwiz18, i just learned that....but i still get a 404 with apt. strange [10:18] u dont need to pay anthing [10:18] itai-michaelson: that is strange [10:18] kelvin911: I will take a second look at it [10:18] ooo|ooo, no it isnt but you do need to go to the link and follow instructions [10:18] kelvin911: anyway, thanks [10:18] kelvin911: bye [10:18] itai-michaelson: let me give it a try and see what I get [10:18] try to install it in windows, it is free [10:19] compwiz18, thanks [10:19] but still the quality in skype is better [10:19] compwiz18, i was apt-getting lxde [10:19] HardyOne: 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] hi... 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] cjsstables: 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 link [10:19] 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] clarifying :) [10:19] skype is the best of all uptil now i terms of quality 4 me [10:20] the 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] i ps aux and check memory, and it seems like theres like 50 meg just being used by nothing [10:20] ok cool.. [10:20] u need fast internet for oovoo otherise the quality is bad [10:20] ooo|ooo, dont know what to tell you. if you are willing to give up that quick then perhaps you are better off staying with windows [10:20] yes Skype is the best [10:20] itai-michaelson: I'm having no problems with it [10:20] i stop using msn now mainly skype [10:21] HardyOne: Staying with windows? I dont have windows. [10:21] itai-michaelson: if you want to put your /etc/apt/sources.list file on the pastebin I'll take a look at it [10:21] and skype detect my webcam in ubuntu without installing any driver [10:21] compwiz18, thanks - i will try to apt-get update again and see if that helps [10:21] geirha can you point me to a great set of documentation for setting up ubuntu samba/ldap server that includes connecting clients? [10:21] and pidgin doesnt have webcam support , right ?? [10:22] kelvin911 i think it does, not sure [10:22] oooboo what card do you got? [10:23] unikon: check my PM [10:23] compwiz18, it works now , after apt-get update ....is that strange or what.... [10:23] itai-michaelson: good :) [10:23] yeah [10:23] i cant find any webcam option in pidgin or gaim [10:23] sometimes that happens [10:24] cjsstables: I'm afraid I don't have much knowledge on samba and ldap, so I'll have to say: go fish (google) [10:24] kelvin911: pidgin/gaim don't do webcams [10:24] ok... [10:24] what programs usually take up the most memory? [10:24] kelvin911 i use amsn for webcam use in msn [10:24] compwiz18, thanks for your help anyway.... [10:24] hobbitboy firefox [10:24] maybe i will try amsn later [10:25] does it pick up the webcam without any trouble? [10:25] itai-michaelson: no problem [10:25] i am using logitech quickcam messenger [10:25] kelvin911 it did for me :) [10:25] i too use same webcam [10:25] kelvin911 how me too, it picked it up no problem [10:25] kelvin911, 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 jump [10:25] it works out of the box [10:26] well, 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] can anyone tell me where to find the services and applications that are started when computer starts? [10:27] clarezoe: services or applications? [10:27] hobbitboy if you install gnome-system-monitor it would tell you specificly in gui in processes tab [10:27] ompaul: i cant completely kill windows, i play games there [10:27] like doom3 and etc [10:27] Chris| im running fluxbox [10:28] hobbitboy doesnt mean you cant install gnome apps in fluxbox though [10:28] Abhinandh, I mean like mysql, apache are services, compiz, screenlets are application, [10:28] i have 4 mb free, what makes you think ill be able to run something else =P [10:28] utnubudnai:!sed [10:28] lol hobbitboy [10:28] Chris| there has to be a commandline that does it [10:28] utnubudnai:|sed [10:29] !wine | kelvin911 [10:29] kelvin911: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[10:29] will running thru wine be slower than running the game in winxp? [10:29] Abhinandh, there're so many services and applications that I don't what them to start when computer starts, I wander how to remove them [10:29] !cedega | kelvin911 [10:29] kelvin911: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux.

[10:30] i installed doom3 linux [10:30] compwiz18: i did but it still only accounted for ~50-60 meg, the other 40 seemed to just disappear [10:30] but ask for CDkey and i got invalid cdkey [10:30] wael yes you can do it from a live Ubuntu CD [10:30] the key works in XP but not in linux [10:31] hobbitboy: are you taking into acount the cache used by the system [10:31] how to get around that? i dont play doom3 online [10:31] wael, its not that easy though - let me find the link for you [10:31] hobbitboy: what does free -m give you [10:31] so it will be nice if i can run doom3 that is installed already in my C:\ [10:32] one sec, i did a restart on Chris| 's request [10:32] kelvin911: not had any experience with this, but try different case for the letters [10:32] wael -http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 [10:32] Hey i need some help in trying to understand this syslog [10:32] http://pastebin.com/d64baf08b [10:32] there is no case [10:32] all in caps [10:32] This is the errors i see just before my system hanged up [10:32] evolution crashes on startup for me, i'd like to delete its config files. Where are they located in my home dir? [10:32] kelvin911: and you can't enter a instead of A ?

[10:33] how to get around the CDkey issue/ [10:33] zuhaib: looks like there are problems with your sdb drive... if that's what you're booting from, that might explain it. [10:33] zuhaib: Could be a bad harddrive ... [10:34] Its not what i am booting from [10:34] Ubuntu-server sits on a ATA drive [10:34] kelvin911: we will not help you with pirating software. [10:34] zuhaib: Dying harddisks often scramble the whole bus, so even if you are not booting from it, it might prevent the other drives from working correctly [10:35] zuhaib: i don't think that's terribly good either: hda: lost interrupt. [10:35] zuhaib, stefg he seems to be having problems with sdb and hda both. [10:35] =| [10:35] ok [10:36] at any rate, i don't think "hda: lost interrupt" is normal. [10:37] So what am i looking at, sda and sdb are on a SATA Controller card while the hda is on the onboard ATA on the mobo [10:37] !wind | utnubudnai [10:37] 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.com [10:37] zuhaib: i'd look at dmesg for errors, then boot a Desktop-CD, install smartmontools and check if the harddisks are healthy [10:37] Chris| its completely idle running fluxbox from startup [10:37] !wine | utnubudnai [10:37] and has 4 meg free out of 128 [10:38] well, "106" [10:38] stefg: i've heard smart isnt infallible, but well, it's better than nothing. [10:39] how to use wine? [10:39] i installed wine now [10:39] google [10:39] Hi all [10:39] do i go browse C:\? [10:39] kelvin911: wine NAME_OF_EXE [10:39] Sinnerman: 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 problem [10:39] and double click any exe file i wanna run? [10:39] . [10:39] kelvin911: I think that works too, IIRC [10:39] 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 though [10:39] I will check both drives, any way i can do this remote? [10:39] stefg: the box is headless [10:39] kelvin911, you don't you install it within wine [10:40] !wine | kelvin911 (read this please) [10:40] kelvin911 (read this please): WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[10:40] what if doom3 is already installed in C:\? [10:40] yes, just did, was waiting for it to boot up, one sec [10:40] ah, ok [10:40] i dont wanna reisntall again, i want to be able to continue the gamesafe there [10:40] total: 106, used: 104: free: 2 [10:41] zuhaib: so how did you install then? [10:41] hi [10:41] i locked myself out of root [10:41] do i get the dll hell by running wine? [10:41] kelvin911, 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 guess [10:41] hobbitboy: what about the +/- buffers line? [10:41] by breaking sudo [10:41] <[[thufir]]> The highest resolution I can select is 800x600, but normally it's higher. what happened? hardware failure? [10:41] any gui app that i can call to edit /etc/hosts that will ask for auth? [10:41] stefg: had a monitor hooked up for the install of ubuntu server, system was stable so I pulled the monitor off [10:41] kraft__: what do you mean "breaking sudo"?

Dont know if it relates but just an FYI [10:42] what does the wine menu in Application pull down menu does? [10:42] zuhaib: any means of booting the system to rescue mode and running openssh server on it, so you have ssh access? [10:42] hi everyone, I've got a quick question about dd_rescue.....anyone free to help? [10:42] hobbitboy: according to that you're using 75MB of RAM for system, and you have 30 free for more stuff [10:42] The system boots fine, i an ssh'ed in righ tnow [10:43] kraft__, 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 back [10:43] zuhaib: so just sudo apt-get install smartmontools [10:43] ompaul: that link seems to be for using sudo [10:43] compwiz18: yikes, how can i tone that down? [10:43] wiat, 30 more free? [10:43] wait* [10:43] the 75 used/30 free was the buffer/cache [10:43] ompaul: yeah, just rying to avoid moving a bunch of crao arond [10:44] <[[thufir]]> stefg: you don't think it's hardware? [10:44] so there is no gui app that will ask for auth? [10:44] what is the software i run without the need to install? [10:44] can i just run it in wine/ [10:44] hobbitboy: what are you running on there? [10:44] kelvin911, did you read that web page? [10:44] i.e how would you edit /etc/hosts from the desktop? [10:44] basic fluxbuntu install [10:44] without using cmdline [10:45] kraft__: press alt+f2, then type gksudo gedit /etc/hosts to get it in a text editor [10:45] kraft you cant edit it without super user privliges [10:45] ok, I'll take that as a no! :-) is there any better irc channel to get advice on ddrescue? [10:45] [[thufir]]: no, ususally it's that the display isn't detected properly, so X goes to a safe fallback setting [10:45] compwiz18, please - that is sudo nano on F2 .... [10:45] http://img525.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot5rp7.png do i go like wine BitComet ? [10:46] itai: running gksudo ends with this: [10:46] brute force GNOME_SUDO_PASS ended...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:47] kraft__, oi stop using enter as a punctuation [10:47] hello :D [10:47] so...can anyone answer a quick question about dd_rescue? [10:47] ompaul: ok [10:47] wonlt do it again [10:47] zuhaib: check the manpages how to look at the internal smrt-logs of the drives [10:47] compwiz18 basic fluxbuntu install [10:48] 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] zuhaib: it can as well be some acpi or irq issue. what hardware is that? [10:48] hobbitboy: if you really really want to use less ram, do a server install, then install fluxbox on that [10:48] hobbitboy: that'll be about as little as you can get [10:49] I don't need to recover all the data [10:49] ¿is it possible to view the content of a minimized windows when using compiz-fusion effects like ring switcher?

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] how to browse hidden directory? [10:49] also, it it possible to private message on here so we don't clutter up the board? sorry, I'm new to irc [10:49] ls -hidden? [10:50] compwiz18: thats what i was thinking about doing. i have ubuntu-server on a tower for an actual server and its doing well. guess ill go through with that. thanks a lot [10:50] stefg: 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] hobbitboy: I can get it to use about 30 IIRC with a command line boot [10:50] zuhaib: what CPU / chipset? [10:50] kevin911:press ctrl+h and all hidden directories will be visible [10:50] kyle__: 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 position [10:50] <[[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/ [10:51] stefg: AMD XP 1800+, VIA KT266A [10:51] kyle__: but you won't be able to read any of the data off said partition unless you take the whole thing [10:51] compwiz18: but the position...I'm assuming that's a physical position on the hard drive - I don't know where the bad sectors are [10:51] Can someone help me with a samba share issue?

[10:56] well when i treid vesa, i got "low graphics mode" [10:56] stefg: http://pastebin.com/d4cf36d0d for sda and sdb (sdb has no reported log) [10:56] Hi, do you know how to connect Windows Mobile based phone with ubuntu? [10:56] compwiz18: I'm assuming that was a joke...... [10:56] <[[thufir]]> how much kb should be used by the video card? I have 500MB of RAM [10:56] kyle__: no, seriously, putting it in the freezer actually helps sometimes [10:56] i want to be able to run BitComet in ubuntu [10:56] piksi: apt-cache search myth [10:56] <[[thufir]]> I'm reconfiguring x server to try and get back resolution [10:56] rainx79: oh sorry to configure it you need to install another package, but i forgot what it called..sorry [10:56] stefg: I get E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/wine.budgetdedicated.com_apt_dists_gutsy_main_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory) [10:56] stefg: and the log on hda http://pastebin.com/d488256d9 [10:56] compwiz18: not that I don't trust you.....but I'll have to google that one first [10:57] itai thanks for the help anyways [10:57] compwiz18: else it could be a realllllly mean joke [10:57] can someone help with a samba issue? [10:57] kyle__: I don't blame you, I would too if some random person on the internet told me to put my drive in the freezer [10:57] kyle__: http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html [10:57] compwiz18: I'm assuming it should be in a sealed plastic bag first though [10:57] rainx79: its something like compiz fusion something manager [10:57] is wine running as root? [10:57] maek: i tried configuring with dpkg-reconfigure, and drivers ati, fglrx and vesa as well as manually editing xorg.conf [10:57] kindofabuzz: im running fluxbox [10:57] stefg: that was from sudo apt-get build-dep wine [10:57] but you trust everything else on the internet? it's written down so it must be true!! =_ [10:57] kyle__: yeah [10:57] Prometheus, Have you tried installing the drivers via Envy ?? [10:58] nope [10:58] what is the size of an ubuntu miror ? [10:58] whats that? [10:58] !envy [10:58] envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [10:58] stefg: solved it [10:58] zuhaib: doesn't look too bad... nothing serious in my opinion [10:58] hobbitboy: sudo etc/init.d/flux stop? [10:58] compwiz18: thanks. Also, you know a good gui utility for analysing a hard disk (ntfs) [10:59] compwiz18: I'm thinking maybe there's just some simple way to repair something on it to make it mountable [10:59] maek: i can try, but i have a radeon 9800 which worked fine under feisty [10:59] kyle__: nope, but there probably is one... [10:59] Envy installed my ATI drivers no problem (the quality of ATI drivers are another matter) [10:59] hobbitboy: i think flux uses xdm, so /etc/init.d/xdm stop [10:59] ... only 98 new packages needed :) [10:59] kyle__: sorry, I'm not much help here [10:59] ah ok thanks [10:59] compwiz18: no worries! better than no help at all [10:59] stefg: 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 cache [11:00] Anyone else got any experience using dd_rescue?? [11:00] http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [11:00] stefg: 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 hit [11:00] rainx79: probably compizconfig-settings-manager [11:00] install that [11:00] zuhaib: 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 that [11:01] yes I just did itai thanks a bunch though [11:01] Prometheus, make sure you are on generic drivers before you install your drivers [11:01] yeah, i always thought the "A" version fixed most of them.. But i will look in to it more [11:01] rainx79: no problem..... [11:02] zuhaib: so you are looking at a kernel or hardware related problem [11:02] thanks maek. i'll try that [11:02] stefg: ok so that is my focus, and yeah i will try the system with the Kernel options you mentioned [11:02] <[[thufir]]> stefg: that was very weird and scary, but those directions worked :) what happened? very odd. [11:05] [[thufir]]: sometimes the video hardware detection needs another kick in the a** , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is an acronym for that :-) [11:05] hi, how do I stop screen switching when using my laptop's touchpad's scrolling feature? [11:05] <[[thufir]]> ok [11:05] this only happens on the desktop [11:06] kjalil, Switching ?? how do you mean ?? [11:06] i am installing Maple10 thru wine i think i am stuck [11:07] maek: 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 other [11:07] maek: there must be a setting to turn off somewhere [11:07] maek: i don't want to turn off vertical scrolling in firefox, though. [11:08] I think you have to disable a plugin in Compiz kjalil [11:08] maek: ah, i think you are right. where is the compiz config thingy? [11:08] what if i am stuck during installing in windows app in wine? [11:08] How Do I add more desktops on ubuntu right now I only have two [11:08] kjalil, hang on I will find out the name of the plugin [11:09] zuhaib: 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 pins [11:09] kjalil, open Compiz configuration manager (or something like that) [11:09] please look http://img412.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot6ik8.png === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [11:10] ok which flash video player is better adobe or the other one?

[11:10] stefg: i am pretty sure its in pretty well, but i will make sure to check during the downtime [11:10] maek: do I have to install compiz config manager first? it's not included by default it seems [11:10] kjalil, disable the "viewport" switcher [11:10] maek: or gnome-compiz-manager? [11:10] !caps | lux [11:10] rainx79: they both have thier upsides and downsides. [11:10] lux: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

[11:17] what? [11:17] poey, so how can i download some? from where i means [11:17] how to get the force quit applet [11:17] since you're talking about bluetooth... [11:17] i'm having trouble getting mine to work in 7.10 x64 [11:17] popey* [11:17] lux, a bluetooth dongle is hardware. You can't download that [11:17] kelvin911: right click your panel on the top.. add to panel, add the force quit applet.. then use it to force close whatever that is [11:17] its already in my pc? [11:17] lux, we don't know what's in your pc. [11:18] kelvin911, alt+f2 to open a lancher window, type xkill in the bar, that will get you a X cursor for your mouse, click the windows you don't want to kill it , repeat as needed [11:18] Pelo: nice tip, I didn't know that one myself. [11:18] sry....my mistake i didnt read your text ... [11:19] Pelo: how do we get out of xkill [11:19] Pelo: i didn't knwo that either, good one, I just always used the force quit applet [11:19] pajamian, I don'T remember whre I got it , just type man xkill for more details [11:19] cant kill with xkill [11:19] anaoum, once you killed someting , you will be out of it [11:19] maek: thanks [11:19] Pelo: what if i dont want to kill something [11:19] i mean...is there any software? which let send things from pc to phone ? [11:19] Pelo: nevermind, right click does it [11:20] kelvin911, gksu xkill then [11:20] i dont have hardware for that, is there software which let send things from pc to phone [11:20] anaoum, if you don't want to kill anything you shouldn't be carrying a loaded gun [11:20] lol [11:21] !ot [11:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[11:21] !omg [11:21] Pelo: i wanted to kill something, but then it killed it self [11:21] Pelo: i must still shoot someone !?!? [11:21] force quit thingy doesnt work [11:21] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [11:21] kelvin911: are you sure?.. i've never had that not work. [11:21] Pelo: it seems to work by aborting the connection to the xserver. A more effective method is to send a sigterm with kill or sigkill if that doesn't work (kill -9) [11:21] i am installing a software thru wine [11:21] and it stucks [11:22] kelvin911: thats irrelevant [11:22] the software is Maple 10 [11:22] kelvin911, #winehq for support with wine issues [11:22] i think it uses JAVA maybe that s why [11:22] kelvin911: no, thats not why, force quit would still kill it [11:22] kelvin911, what was the app ? [11:22] send me a copy of it, i'll get it working :) [11:23] kelvin911: 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] So, Maybe someone can answer this question. Do any of you have an idea on how I would go about getting my videos from Veoh.com [11:23] Maple 10 [11:23] rainx79: they work fine for me.... do you have flash installed? [11:23] rainx79, a lot of the veoh videos are flash based. and can be downloaded with varioys firefox extebnsions [11:23] it's about 150 MB [11:23] rainx79, what format does veohcom usualy put out ? [11:23] rainx79 download them? [11:23] how to send to u? [11:24] veoh 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] well 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 only [11:24] does anyone know how to remove super glue from glass? [11:24] rainx79: look into wine, then. [11:24] novato_br hot water [11:24] <[SAFC]stevec> novato_br: scratch it off? [11:25] I guess that will have to do then [11:25] rainx79, yep. those are like ads for getting you to use the full pplayer. wine has issues with the veoh player i hear. [11:25] novato_br: nail polish remover. [11:25] novato_br, razor blade or acetone [11:25] wineserver -k work :) [11:25] rainx79, those are ones you proberly cant download anyway. :( [11:25] thx, i will try that [11:25] someone help me in #winehq [11:25] I'll figure something out [11:25] kelvin911: if the install froze up, why don't you just restart X? [11:25] thanks anyways for the information [11:26] kelvin911, if noone is helping you in winehq atm, be patient, , come back later, or restate your issue periodicaly [11:26] dont know how to restart X [11:26] kelvin911: 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] is it possible to running compiz with Nvidia TNT2 video card ? [11:26] kelvin911, ctrl alt backspace [11:26] kelvin911: you'll lose any unsaved, but control alt backspace, and sign back in [11:26] rainx79: veoh.com works fine for me (Hardy beta) [11:26] i dont wanna restart i am sending a file thru FTP to my gf [11:26] then quit griping [11:26] DistroJockey, the flash videos at veoh.com is only part of their library. :( [11:27] kelvin911, sudo killall -9 wineserver [11:27] Dr_willis: link me?

[11:27] Dr_willis: I clicked one and it works :) *shrugs* [11:28] kelvin911: yep, pretty much. [11:28] kelvin911: kill -9 will kill anything. [11:29] sudo kill -9 pajamian-libido [11:29] http://www.veoh.com/veohTV/whatIsVeohTv.html [11:29] LoL [11:29] and i remember i freeze the server with this in C "while(1) fork();" [11:29] do I add a screen resolution in xorg.conf? [11:29] Pelo: no such processs :-P [11:29] i bring down the university server with this [11:29] holaaaaa [11:29] DistroJockey, thats not as good as quality. they have 2 ways of watching the videos.. the old flash way.. and the veohtv way. PLUS theres shows that can only be watched in veohtv [11:29] anli: you shouldn't really need to.. at least i never have had to. [11:29] anli, edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, the resolutions are listed about the middle of the file [11:30] IndyGunFreak: but i run ubuntu in a virtual box [11:30] Pelo: empty [11:30] ls [11:30] oops, haha [11:30] not really sure what difference that makes, but ok [11:30] hi to all [11:30] anli, X one one , not X L L [11:30] Pelo, my usb cable is proken :P is there way to do that without hardware? with software?

[12:10] can someone help me? [12:11] <|ismael|> hi somebody know ekiga? [12:11] bobzero: try hitting "ctrl+alt+backspace". WARNING! it will reboot the graphical parts of Ubuntu [12:11] !ask | |ismael| [12:11] |ismael|: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:12] <|ismael|> ok sorry.i would like use voipbuster in ekiga but i dont know [12:12] kelvin911: It isn't, sorry. I remember I found it on Google. You gave to compile it yourself though. [12:12] I have recently downloaded ClamTH Virus Scanner.... When i tyr and update my signatures ( i assume this will update the virus scanner) It says that i must be root to update. How do I become root? [12:13] It's very straightforward. [12:13] how do u compile software? [12:13] is it hard? [12:13] no [12:13] |ismael|: isn't voipbuster an application in itself? [12:13] kelvin911: no, it's just one command for simple programs [12:13] or is it like compiling little gcc file? [12:13] kelvin911: gcc -o name-of-executable name-of-source-code [12:13] make aaa.gcc -o whatever.out ? [12:13] <|ismael|> in the page of voipbuster i cant download voipbuster for linux [12:14] feel [12:14] all [12:14] great [12:14] sports [12:14] al_qaida: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:14] hallo i have some problems while shuting down my system, i cant see the menu where i can chose "shutdown", "reboot" etc.... Since I installed xcomprg for awn i cant see the shutdown menu [12:14] |ismael|: or you want to use your voipbuster account from Ekiga? [12:14] how do u compile a program that is gui base? [12:14] like compiling mplayer ?? [12:15] who maintains the floodbots? [12:15] kraut I believe it is LjL [12:15] kelvin911: Such complex programs usually come with a Makefile and then you can just run "make". [12:15] IdleOne: thanks [12:15] <|ismael|> i have an account from voipbuster,i would like call to my country with some program [12:15] LjL: are you there? [12:15] whats the different if u compile it or install in thru add/remove? [12:16] But usually the recipe goes like this: "./configure", "make", "sudo make install" [12:16] and why people need to compile linux kernel? [12:16] citizens under negating technologies for life and people's safety! [12:16] is it already installed in ubuntu? [12:16] |ismael|: look here... I haven't used voipbuster myself but it seems other people are [12:16] |ismael|: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=529051 [12:17] kelvin911 most people never need to compile they're own kernel [12:17] kelvin911: 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 english [12:17] how can i connect a midi keyboard through my soundcard? i dont get it working [12:18] then why compile it yourself? [12:18] for fun? [12:18] kelvin911: 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] dumb4midi you just connect it with gameport midi adapter [12:18] i have [12:18] kelvin911 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 repositories [12:18] if you have a joystickport [12:18] but i doesnt work [12:18] kelvin911: Yes, for fun! That's what open source allows people to do! [12:19] have you used qjackctl? [12:19] i want to play with with zynaddsubfx [12:19] yeah [12:19] install qjackctl [12:19] slightly different queston then. I can write to a partition: [12:19] sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda3 bs=1 count=1 [12:19] dd: writing `/dev/sda3': No space left on device [12:19] ok i try [12:19] then fire it up and tell me when youre ready [12:19] fanch [12:19] however: /dev/sda3 2432 38913 293041665 fd Linux raid autodetect [12:20] any ideas? [12:20] snama: iam ready [12:20] click connect [12:20] then go to midi tab [12:21] and then [12:21] kraft__: is /dev/sda3 mounted by any chance? [12:21] you should fire up zynaddsubfx before you start qjackctl [12:21] bartmon: no [12:21] well if you can find your soundcards midi input you click it and then you click on zynadd to the left and press connect [12:22] hello who know all destop installer source list ? [12:22] your soundcards midi port should be to the right [12:22] LjL ? [12:22] Hello I am having trouble with java. What is the paste bin address again? [12:23] kraft__: Is the RAID array up? Then you should probably write to some device called /dev/md3... [12:23] i am hooked into this ubuntu linux just like i was hooked into win95 back in 95 [12:23] greatz helpfull server [12:23] I have recently downloaded ClamTH Virus Scanner.... When i tyr and update my signatures ( i assume this will update the virus scanner) It says that i must be root to update. How do I become root? [12:23] lothar: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [12:23] bartmon: are you sure? [12:23] Here is the paste bin of my problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61594/ [12:23] legend2440 why would you need it? [12:24] smoogz: In the console use sudo [12:24] ohh [12:24] thnc u [12:24] i mean smoogs [12:24] ledgend - I saw it as soon as I posted, theank though [12:24] smoogz why would you need the virus scanner? [12:24] hi all, i bought a new sony cr laptop with ati radeon (x2300), and X refuses to start even in vesa..i get some errors relating to soe ucvcvideo...any pointers on how to proceed [12:24] dum4midi: how is it going? [12:24] i am trying to install gutsy [12:25] snama: doesnt work [12:25] kraft__: Well do you have any of these devices? [12:25] kraft__: /dev/md* [12:25] i thought it would be good to have [12:25] well its not neccesary on linux yet [12:25] not yet or maybe never [12:25] oh ok cool [12:25] bartmon: yep, but the disk in question isn't part of an active array [12:25] halamahala! [12:25] the first linux virus will wipe out so many people [12:26] md0 is currenty clean + degraded [12:26] smoogz: sudo means super user do, but the user that executes it must be in the user group admin [12:26] dumb4midi did you try several setups? i mean connecting zynaddsubfx with different ones [12:26] do i need to make some settings in zynaddsubfx? [12:26] i am [12:26] i got it [12:26] you shouldnt need to [12:26] Allah akbar! [12:26] i used it that way on debian etch [12:26] kraft__: Oh, then you probably typed the correct device before. [12:26] worked perfectly [12:26] dont use any patch or app with root [12:26] Hi [12:26] I don't if I have briken something :$ but if I do 'ls | grep foo' [12:26] I get a 'bash:  grep: command not found' [12:26] does anyone has an idea why ? [12:26] i just didnt know it would see me as the root with sudo before the command [12:26] Ethan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:26] i installed ubuntu studio [12:26] but it makes sense thnx for the help [12:26] virus scanning is still a good idea so you dont infect any windows friends you forward mail to [12:27] i connect the both but then nothing happends [12:27] hi there [12:27] Allah akbar! [12:27] can someone kick that idiot? [12:27] hmm [12:27] do i need some settings to make on the keyboard? [12:27] um?

[12:28] eth01: they are still sleeping there [12:28] lothar and he remember the GOOD [12:28] can we get back on topic too, please. [12:28] eternal_fizzer: What kind of error do you get? I'm getting similyar issues as well. [12:28] lothar u havent any ? [12:28] dumb4midi: sometimes you won't get instant answers. it's call patience. [12:28] snama: should the connection line be green or red [12:29] pu - In English? possibly sentences? [12:29] I know how to copy a data cd and I can mount it [12:29] it just says broken software index in update manager [12:29] hmm on my setup its grey [12:29] but the command "dd" does not work here [12:29] or should I look elsewhere?

[14:49] oh [14:49] Garren: Ubuntu has it's own 'firewall' now, and that should shield you against virusses. There are, however, hardly ANY virusses that can hit Ubuntu, as far as I know, NONE [14:49] so noone can help with my mouse problems?

[14:51] Now you know what Beta means barslow [14:51] CJS3141, If you ask in winehq, they will probably tell you to install the latest version of wine before you try to install ie6 [14:51] :) [14:51] no, 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] but now I have mouse issues in gutsy [14:51] I'm having a real hard time using dual screens with ubuntu. The secondary screen is much too bright [14:51] i don't know why but my mouse is super jumpy [14:51] CJS3141, look at the first link you gave me. [14:51] eternal_fizzer: do it the old-fashioned way [14:51] kelvin911: just lets you run xmaple by typing 'xmaple' and pressing enter in a terminal. It assumes you installed maple to /opt/maple9 of course [14:51] but thanks for that channel! I might go there for help. [14:52] barslow: make sure your acceleration settings are correct [14:52] when I click nvidia-settings the screen turns the right brightness for a second and then goes back too being much too bright [14:52] jack_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] Toznoshio: 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] jrib: my /opt/maple is empty [14:52] terminhell: what are the optimal accelaration settings? [14:52] jrib: should i delete it? [14:53] barslow: ones that dont make your mouse jumpy...just lower them [14:53] kelvin911: because you installed it to your HOME remember? Sure you can delete it since you did not use it [14:53] CJS3141, 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 slow [14:53] jrib: what about opt directory? [14:53] Toznoshio: is it only one folder for sure? [14:53] terminhell: I've tried tons of different settings, nothing seems to work correctly [14:53] robotjox: Can you change the brightness on your monitor..... [14:53] kelvin911: you can leave it, you might want to use it for some other thing you install later [14:54] jrib: what is /opt/? [14:54] jack_sparrow: OK fair enough! Thanks for all the help. [14:54] i was wandering if people are experiencing issues with network manager? My wireless gets disconnected randomly... [14:54] eternal_fizzer: pastebin the output of "locate firefox" [14:54] Would someone be able to help me install irssi please? None of the usual methods are working for me. [14:54] barslow perhaps its the mouse itself. is it optical? make sure its on a non reflective surface. if its the old kind, you may need to clean the ball and rollers [14:54] gilster32: Do you have a dell? [14:54] jrib: sudo rmdir maple9 ? [14:54] Toznoshio: it was pages of stuff - what is pastebin? [14:55] lupe5:nope toshiba.atheros wifi card [14:55] gilster32: do you have "roaming" enalbed? [14:55] paste | eternal_fizzer [14:55] !paste | eternal_fizzer [14:55] eternal_fizzer: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [14:55] gilster32: Never had experince with it....

[14:55] jrib: why didnt i install maple in /usr/local/bin/ ?? [14:55] ubotu - thx but no browser, so can't go there [14:55] CJS3141: I would use vim and do ":set list". I don't know of a better way [14:56] auroch: have you tried from terminal "sudo apt-get install irssi" ? [14:56] kelvin911: because you chose to install it to your HOME, there's nothing wrong with that [14:56] Lupe5: 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 again [14:56] eternal_fizzer: use firefox [14:56] jrib: why install in somewhere else then make link to /usr/local/bin? [14:56] Lupe5: I'd love too - that's what I'm trying to fix! [14:56] kelvin911: because you don't need to be root to install to your HOME [14:56] robotjox: I dont know anything about Nivada [14:57] terminhell: should roaming be turned off? [14:57] terminhell: That and a few other things but I don't think apt-get is working. "Couldn't find package.. etc." [14:58] Toznoshio: is there someother gadget I can use to transmit that info to you? since I don't have a browser, I'm stuck [14:58] eternal_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] Auroch: make sure the other repositories are enabled and reload. [14:58] <_boto> hi all [14:58] someone here have any experience with setting up a nvidia card using dual screens?

[15:56] skailar, what hardware are you running? [15:56] but is there somekind command which auto dl java runtime and install`s it? [15:56] Lunar_Lamp, mkisofs [15:56] amenado: I just want to not bother with samba auth - can samba be pointed at PAM and forget about its internal db? [15:56] Lunar Lamp, they have some excellent iso utilities in the add/remove programs section [15:56] !ot > alteregoa [15:56] mgi-> i have not done it myself, [15:57] give the link that has a list of project in FOSS [15:57] or fire up a iso utility in wine [15:57] Lunar_Lamp: it tells you how to do that also using mkisofs [15:57] gh0st903, there is no need to use wine [15:57] Lunar_Lamp: Places, "CD/DVD Creator" - drop the folder in there, hit "write to disk" [15:58] Lunar_Lamp: read middle of first entry [15:58] CarlFK, I don't want to write to disk, I want to make an iso. [15:58] how can i get AMSN(windows live skin) working? rightknow im using original ubuntu AMSN skin and i cant see text...its too small [15:58] Jack_Sparrow, ok, so did that command send a file there, or do I have to find a file and copy and paste it there? I have never used pastebin before. [15:58] Lunar_Lamp: ah. sorry. right. [15:58] Lunar_Lamp, are you ignoring me? I said, mkisofs. [15:58] jack_sparrow: intel celeron...

[16:29] I cannot log in with out using GNOME failsafe settings, any suggestions? Please? [16:31] amenado-> You probably did not see my response, whether I could boot into linux. I can up unitl I log in that is where I have issues with GTK+. When I went from Ubuntu to Fedora and then back to Ubuntu I formatted everything but the /home. With a Live CD I can see the contents of /home and manipulate some (all except icons marked with an 'x' top right of icon. I cannot get into /Documents (icon for Desktop also has an 'x' top right of the [16:32] there are over 1000 people in this channel, someone must know! all I need is, 'yes that's correct', or 'no, not quite, this is how it works' when I convert a movie to vob with devede, the default is to change the bitrate to 5000, should I change that to the files original bitrate, or will the quality be different if I do this? [16:33] my dad's computer is ubuntu 7.10 and he uses it only for solitare and the internet. recently the solitare program began to take up the entire screen (no titlebar or taskbar, but literally the entire screen) how can i fix this [16:33] azexian: thats a fairly specific question, maybe people here don't know [16:33] how can I create a html page from ls [16:33] guys, are any video capture cards supported in ubuntu [16:33] any idea, thanks [16:33] Where can I get help on setting up my new touch-screen NEC? [16:33] is a question about different editions of ubuntu on topic? [16:33] pkundu: ls >file.txt and open it with OO and save as a htm [16:34] Also txt2html [16:34] FancyL: probably not, but whats your question [16:34] IndyGunFreak: is there a better place to ask? #devede is non-existent, anywhere else I might try? with over 1000 people, there's someone who knows [16:34] hacked``: use in general hoppauge are recomended [16:34] nonewmsgs, great idea thanks [16:34] azexian: well, if someone knew, they'd respond [16:34] nonewmsgs, but i dont want a dvb card [16:34] pkundu: anytime [16:35] does anyone know a channel for touch-screens / drivers etc...? please [16:35] azexian: If you resample 900 to 5000 it will be at 5000 but just sound like 900 still [16:35] IndyGunFreak: 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] hacked``: dvb? [16:35] genii: this is the video, not the audio, is that what you meant still? [16:36] FancyL: main difference, in all of them, is the GUI they use. [16:36] hi 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] azexian: you can't compare bitrates of different codecs, the dvd uses mpeg2, your avi is probably xvid/divx [16:36] hi [16:36] zackyramone: chmod? [16:36] IndyGunFreak: is one version lighter than another? I'm looking to install on an old laptop. [16:36] azexian: so as typical with video encoding, you'll have to experiment [16:37] FancyL: xubuntu, kubuntu and ubuntu use different guis gobuntu only uses fully free (no mp3s or dvd) stuff edubuntu comes with educational software [16:37] FancyL: 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] reaktae: how do i use that? [16:37] FancyL: whast the sysstem specs on it? [16:37] astro76: so I can't just leave it on the original bitrate, it has to be changed? [16:37] FancyL: if you dont know what windows manager you can install al of them with apt-get install (normal installation method) once you install any [16:37] IndyGunFreak: not sure, but it's running win98 [16:37] zackyramone, try right clicking the disk and go to properties and edit the permissions [16:37] zackyramone: as in user priviledges.. are you familiar with sudo commands? [16:37] FancyL: well, a good place to start, is to know how much ram it is. [16:37] IndyGunFreak: I think 128 [16:38] reaktae: no not really... [16:38] FancyL: ok, w/ 128mb, you'll probably want to use Xubuntu. [16:38] azexian: 5000 sounds like a reasonable bitrate for a dvd... but you can make it higher if it will still fit on the dvd [16:38] FancyL: i would look towards damn small linux [16:38] FancyL: you might even consider a straight debian install... [16:38] IndyGunFreak: will xubuntu run smoothly? or is D.S.L. more up my alley? [16:38] astro76: 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] nonewmsgs: ?... DSL? 128m,b will definitely run numerous "larger" distros. [16:39] FancyL: i think Xubuntu will run fine. [16:39] azexian: as I said, it's apples and oranges [16:39] FancyL: its system requirements only call for 64mb if I recall. [16:39] azexian: that's the encoded bitrate [16:39] IndyGunFreak: straight debian sounds a lot more complicated than a live cd [16:39] zackyramone: just try the right click then. go to properties and then permisions.... what sys are you on? [16:39] astro76: hmm... ok, I guess you're right, I will have to experiment, thanks =) [16:39] FancyL, I got DSL working on 32mb [16:39] I like openbox [16:40] reaktae: that wont work....im on ubuntu 7.10 [16:40] FancyL: 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/ ubuntu [16:40] whats the channel for compiz/beryl on ubuntu? [16:40] IndyGunFreak: i'll take your word for it. i personally prefer my systems to be responsive and seem fast [16:40] IndyGunFreak: what if i install xubuntu-desktop from gnome session [16:40] nonewmsgs: lol, gocart painted like a race-car, is still a gokart [16:40] d_rwin: you could do that.. [16:40] zackyramone: did you try as a superuser? [16:40] reaktae: no [16:41] d_rwin: then you simply log out, click sessons, choose xfce, and log back in [16:41] IndygunFreak: yes,but i dont see mich change [16:41] IndyGunFreak: I'll try xubuntu. Thanks for your quick help. [16:41] zackyramone: press alt+f2 and type in gksudo nautilus /media/ [16:41] d_rwin: you're probably still running mostly gnome programs [16:41] zackyramone: there you should have a folder corresponding to the drive and try the right-click again...

Thanks a lot [16:47] i think zambezi means ext3 reserves space and drives use 1000mb gbs [16:47] jpatrick: Yes. 500 GB is too little, 1000 GB too expensive. ;-) 750 GB is my choice. Like 320 GB is 296 GB. [16:48] Or 294 GB. [16:48] zackyramone: weird.. it worked for me... try asking again... I might learn along...

[18:25] hi there. how can I manually set the configurations I cand set using GNOME's Network Administration Tools? my Ubuntu just freezes when I try to do it through the GUI... [18:25] iositd: you say change root into new environment ??? how do you mean, i am in live cd and the install os is mounted [18:26] how much memory do i need for linux ubuntu ? [18:26] Zn3t060, please type more carefully. I didn't say change root, i said chroot. That's what the command is. "chroot /your/os/ /bin/bash" [18:26] Zn3t060, here's a good guide that'll help you chroot into your system from a liveCD http://gentoo-wiki.com/Chroot_from_a_livecd [18:26] iositd: so in live cd as root: i use the chroot command [18:27] hello? is anyone helping me? :D [18:27] Zn3t060, yes, but you need to ensure all your filesystems are mounted properly before using the chroot command [18:27] lux hard disk memory, minimum for install is 2.5 gig [18:27] lux: lol :) yeah... ok, let's edit /etc/security/limits.conf [18:27] unop: in the df -kh it comes up as the hard disk being mounted and also it allows me to save the changes to the shadow and passwrd fiel [18:28] unop, chroot always worked fine for me when needing to change only one users pass... which is what i'm going to tell him to do ... then he'll have to reboot into normal user mode and then he can drop the root passwd with sudo. [18:28] lux: you know how to edit them config files? [18:28] hard disk memory is 2.8 gig, other memory is 512 mb [18:28] OK, still a no go after emptying caches, deactivating temporarily 'CookieSafe', 'Adblock+', restarting FF2, resetting forum/CP settings to defaults etc. I can't post/answer a thread, can't acces attachements, although I'm clearly logged in. and I'm a member since May 2007.

This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user account may not have sufficient privil [18:28] no ...i got ubuntu like 1 day ago [18:28] Zn3t060, now use the passwd yourusername to change the password of the normal user you use. [18:28] im totally new for this kind of stuff [18:28] Zn3t060, that way you can use sudo on the normal user again and won't have trouble on that. [18:29] but i will only be changing that into the live cd enviroment [18:29] dam*...hard to see what u writing cause i dont see half of my desktop [18:29] Anyone using Sitecom WL-112 WLAN-card? [18:29] lux: gksudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf [18:29] Zn3t060, no, because you chroot'd into the new env, you can now change the user of your real installation. [18:29] im lost [18:29] w8 ill try [18:29] Zn3t060, 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 them [18:29] Zn3t060, what was the last command you typed? [18:29] so im in the live cd right [18:30] iositd: the last one is su [18:30] iositd: to get my self into the root [18:30] funkster1-> try logging out and restarting firefox? [18:30] amenado: did thta already, but will try again [18:30] Zn3t060, 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. [18:31] iositd, you need to be root to chroot [18:31] unop, ubuntu way --> use sudo [18:31] htt [18:31] iositd, and sudo gives you root .. [18:32] nonix4, i wrote gksudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf it opened some kind a window...what now? [18:32] unop, he used su to go root, instead of sudo to use root [18:32] iositd, it doesnt make a real difference [18:32] iositd: ok so ill do that , so my mount point is .. /mount/disk...so will i do ..chroot [18:32] ok 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] unop, 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 ... and [18:33] * - and [18:33] Zn3t060, it depends on how many partitions you have on the hdd? you have to have atleast /etc/ mounted right [18:33] what are the maintenance linux commands for me to deploy for linux?

[18:33] techqbert, not enough info... when did the problem start, have you installed/compiled much from source or outside repos etc [18:33] unop: which is my installed os [18:33] Zn3t060, how many partitions did you setup when installing ubuntu? [18:33] hello. Can I choose where to install the bootloader during the install using the live-cd iso? [18:34] or do I need to use the alternate iso? [18:34] Zn3t060, if you only had that one partition .. you can just do. chroot /media/disk [18:34] ljessl yes you can use liveCd [18:34] IjessI, it lets you choose [18:34] Jack_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 hours [18:34] !hardy > techqbert [18:34] can anyone help me????.... how to fix my ubuntu?? [18:35] unop: the only parition mounted in live cd is , /media/disk..............so would i do chroot /media/disk.... then ??? [18:35] Jack_Sparrow: do you want me to comment on #ubuntu-devel? [18:35] lux, the amount of space you have on your hard drive for ubuntu is marginal at est.. [18:35] lux: well the next step is somehow figuring out which of them maps to ulimit -v ... [18:35] Jack_Sparrow, so it want destroy my mbr or the grub I already have? [18:35] Zn3t060, if that command worked ok, you should just do -- passwd [18:35] Zn3t060, replacing with the user whose password you need to change [18:36] techqbert, just pointing you to the correct room for hardy... [18:36] is there any way to install a .msi file on ubuntu? [18:36] how do i get a drive to not be readonly i am the owner and i have create deleat permision but if i go to create a folder on it it comes up with an error that says the disk is read only [18:36] Meld question: I'm trying to pipe a svn/git-diff into Meld, but that doesn't seem to work - how can I compare to revisions from a SVN or Git repo? [18:36] right im going to try and do that [18:36] Zn3t060, you should also do this - passwd -l root === iositd is now known as hischild [18:36] JBuckley, you can use wine, however it's best to find native software to reduce the dependency on windows. [18:36] jhonijim-> mount the partition read+write [18:37] Zn3t060, that disables root, so that in future sessions you dont have a problem stepping into recovery mode [18:37] somekind limits.conf(/etc/secuirity)-gedit window is now open what i should do next? =) [18:37] unop: so i will still have to go into recovery mode [18:37] did someone changed the distributor logo sucessfully under gusty? === FFEMTcJ_ is now known as FFEMTcJ [18:37] it's an app from logmein.com - I use it to remote onto various computers, any alternative suggestions..? [18:37] pirata, it is intentionally tucked away... [18:37] Zn3t060, no, this time, the live CD should be enough, you can reboot into normal mode once you finished here [18:38] so can i get all the commands so i can go and try...... [18:38] JBuckley: vnc [18:38] how can I mount an encrypted file system? [18:38] JBuckley-> .msi is microsoft stuff not executable within linux [18:38] chroot /media/disk .... passwd ... [18:38] anything else [18:38] amenado, shouldn't lie to him [18:38] Zn3t060, also - passwd -l root [18:38] lux: write "whoami" in a terminal... or just your user name etc into that limits file like: "lux hard rss 384000" (and yes, the number is a random guess on my part:) [18:39] Daisuke_Ido-> what? you can try to execute an .msi file? were you successful? please explain [18:39] JBuckley: also there is a Remote Desktop client in linux, so you can connect to windows machines [18:39] amenado, you have to use the ms installer to do it [18:39] Ok - I'll check that out. Thanks for the help! [18:39] Daisuke_Ido, it isnt executeable form linux, only wine or some other tool [18:39] eh what s the command line to start the chess game? [18:40] Daisuke_Ido-> you wanted what? ms installer on linux? you tried? please explain [18:40] zelrikriando, try3dchess [18:40] zelrikriando, glchess maybe [18:40] wine msiexec install netfx.msi [18:40] as an example [18:40] /usr/games/glchess [18:41] hello i need help [18:41] unop: thank [18:41] ok the 3D mode of my chess isnt working [18:41] just now i upgraded my gutsy to hardy [18:41] but the sound is not working [18:41] Daisuke_Ido, correct, but that is NOT running it under linux [18:41] #ubuntu+1 please spsneo [18:41] OS = linux [18:41] compatibility layer or no, the OS is still linux. [18:41] In OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet, how can I take a cell with delimited text (ie; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and break it out into separate rows... not text to columns... text to rows...? [18:42] this convo = ot [18:42] Jack_Sparrow: http://princ3.wordpress.com/2006/10/04/disable-shift-backspace-logout-in-xgl-and-enable-altgr/ If you are interested yourself. [18:42] this is a semantic debate, and one that will never be resolved, so let's agree to disagree [18:42] talking about games, any good one for ubuntu [18:42] omg... [18:42] i wrote whoami but nothing happens [18:42] hello guys, i installed the vu meter for xmms but it doesn't work, if i turn it on it turns off itself, what can i do to make it work? [18:42] Daisuke_Ido-> yes we'll disagree [18:42] I'm having trouble with evolution. I've set it up for my email, yet it won't receive nor send messages. I can only hit the STOP button, but that does nothing. [18:42] lux - identity crisis?

[18:43] lux: and a second line like "lux hard as 450000" [18:43] amenado, gotta say i'm playing devil's advocate on this one, i want to limit windows app usage as much as humanly possible, and rely on native solutions :) [18:43] SpudDogg, why not? [18:43] lol, wtf. [18:43] Jack_Sparrow: don't do what? Ask a question? [18:43] so no, not a fan of wine :D [18:43] can everybody see my messages? [18:43] nonix [18:43] Hatschi_: no [18:43] Hatschi_: yes [18:43] SpudDogg, post a link with no explanation especially one hat long [18:43] thx xD [18:43] Jack_Sparrow: ok, sorry [18:43] hello guys, i installed the vu meter for xmms but it doesn't work, if i turn it on it turns off itself, what can i do to make it work? [18:44] i cant get it work [18:44] nobody is active in ubuntu+1 [18:44] the only thing being paid for is presumably the media... [18:44] u said write "whoami" to terminal [18:44] spsneo: then be patient; that is the channel for it [18:44] i wrote and nothing happened [18:44] spsneo, Running beta software does have a down side.. [18:44] you have to press enter lux [18:45] It seems like I have some problems with the configuration of my graphic card....anyone knows how to test/fix it? [18:45] ok [18:45] hi [18:45] i just installed ubuntu 8.04 beta, and it seems that compiz crashez [18:45] any ideeas? [18:45] !hardy [18:45] 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 #ubuntu [18:45] lux hard as 450000 that number really can be random ? [18:45] lux: umm, "whoami" command in your terminal should just tell your user name, the one you used to kog on :) [18:45] alecs, #ubuntu+1 please [18:45] #ubuntu+1 alecs [18:45] nonix4, you didnt tell him to press :) [18:45] zelrik - what' the problem - what card do you have? [18:45] command "whoami" dont do anything .....lol :S :D [18:46] lux: that's address space limit, ie no program should use over 450 megabytes [18:46] lux type whoami then hit enter [18:46] lux, this does the same -- echo $USER [18:46] i did it [18:46] "whoami" and enter [18:46] now what [18:46] !enter > lux [18:46] kb1cvh: I have an Intel 945 GM, the 3D mode of glchess is having display issues, and I cant manage to make other 3D games (on wine) work properly [18:47] lux, what did it give you? [18:47] anyone who knows the vu meter for xmms?? [18:47] my name :D [18:47] SpudDogg, is it legally wrong? no. is it ethically wrong? youbetcha. ShipIt is the preferred method of shipping CDs, and that is free. [18:47] zelricriando - are you using compiz ? [18:47] kb1cvh: yeah [18:47] lux, ok, that's what you have to put in the limits file like nonix said .. that name exactly [18:48] ok [18:48] Daisuke_Ido: I'm just surprised that the powers-at-be can't do anything about stuff like that. I know it's not illegal, but still. [18:48] Zn3t060-> resolved yet? [18:48] i have tryed everything u said but nothing happens [18:49] zelrikriando: 3d on wine with that card may not be an option [18:49] lux, address the person you are talking to so they know :) [18:49] kb1cvh: desactivating compiz fixes the chess game [18:49] unop, ok ok :D sorry [18:50] lux, so who were you talking to then? :) [18:50] bazhang: it is with several games [18:50] so lets start at the beginning....... [18:50] I 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] zelrikriando, 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] compiz + opengl games != happiness [18:51] JustJaden-> are you currently using such swap file? [18:51] JustJaden, are you turning swapoff first? [18:51] Jowi: how to set those colors? [18:51] who could tell me how to fix my ubuntu .......? [18:51] i definitely recommend turning OFF desktop effects before playing gl games in wine or otherwise [18:52] :unop could u help? [18:52] If I answer a "incomplete" bug with more info in LP, can I move it back to "new"? [18:52] I 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] zelrikriando, 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 there [18:52] 's an easier way. [18:52] anyway i have tried the suggested and it didnt work as it said i didnt have permissions when i went to try the chroot command [18:52] lux, nonix4 seemed to have guided you through most this, he probably knows exactly what to do next .. ask him [18:53] Zn3t060, you need to be root when you chroot -- use the command -- sudo chroot /media/disk [18:53] unop how to do that red text? [18:53] nonix4, See how much free space he has on that drive and how big of a swap he has on there. [18:53] Jowi: my DefaultDepth is already at 24 [18:53] lux, what red text? [18:53] unop: i was root [18:53] hi to all [18:53] i changed to root using the su command [18:54] I 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] Zn3t060, was your partition really mounted under /media/disk ??? [18:54] yes, i doubled checked [18:54] http://irc.dslextreme.com/ [18:54] zelrikriando, then there's not really a solution to be had for you (yet). Wine is constantly improving though and so is Compiz. [18:54] Zn3t060-> are you ready to try my way? [18:54] if anyone writing like example " lux, text..." then i see it red? right? [18:54] amenado: sure am [18:54] Zn3t060-> okay again boot from liveCD [18:54] Jowi: you want to look at my xorg.conf ...in case you see something wrong? [18:55] amenado: yes sill there [18:55] zelrikriando, if you're running compiz it's ok. [18:55] I am trying to follow this walkthrough to get my wireless card recognized, but I hit a brick every step of the way. Is there a better way to get that done? [18:55] Zn3t060-> in a terminal fdisk -l and tell me which partition in the hard disk is the / ? [18:56] does anyone know how to transcode the reg file for photoshop i expoted it from windows but i keep getting the following Untranslatable input in step `ISO-10646-UCS-2..ANSI_X3.4-1968'" any ideas? [18:56] Jowi: I noticed I have just one mode for the screen res...is that an issue? [18:56] nonix, could u help me with my problem? lets start at the beginning [18:57] lux, all you have to do is say the persons name :) [18:57] zelrikriando, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [18:57] ok now i know :D [18:57] zelrikriando, are you running wine fullscreen or windowed? [18:57] nonix4 answer me :/ [18:57] lux: you have only that one user account on the 'puter? I mean I don't want to lock you out if you type something wrong by accident :) [18:57] Zn3t060-> found it yet ? [18:57] SisyphusINC, what program are you trying to read the file with? [18:57] nonix4 yes only 1 [18:57] !sources [18:57] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [18:57] amenado: just did it, it says i got 3 disks. sda1 sda2 and also 5 [18:58] Jowi Full Screen [18:58] is there a iso-making program in linux? [18:58] amendo: when you say slash how do you mena, the sda5 has a /solaris [18:58] azuki, dd command will do it.. [18:58] azuki, yes, it's called dd [18:58] azuki: i'm pretty sure there's a couple [18:58] zelrikriando, and do the games display or do you get a black screen? [18:58] Zn3t060-> okay on a terminal can you try sudo -s and you should get a root shell [18:58] thanks!!!! [18:58] is there some software similar with shrink ? [18:58] http://paste.stgraber.org/2159 [18:58] ok [18:59] novato_br, k9copy [18:59] ok [18:59] Jowi: black screen+window killed right away [18:59] Jack_Sparrow, i'm trying to make copies But I can't [18:59] Zn3t060-> okay then type mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [18:59] ok [18:59] novato_br: is shrink a dvd ripping tool? [18:59] yes [18:59] Zn3t060-> ls -la /mnt and I expect to see /etc/ [18:59] Isnt there an ncurses based newsgroup binary downloader like KLibido but for the shell? [19:00] yeah, IndyGunFreak [19:00] zelrikriando, then it's probably best to add at least "1024x768" "800x600" and "640x480" to xorg.conf [19:00] novato_br: acidrip is good.. [19:00] shrink is a dvd ripping tool [19:00] your talking about mounting it but its already mounted [19:00] okay, IndyGunFreak [19:00] I'll try it [19:00] nonix4 so will u help me or not :/ [19:00] Hello some people has gived me one site THIS one to download it: http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mocks/mocks-0.0.2.tar.gz; tar xvfz mocks-0.0.2.tar.gz; rm -rf mocks-0.0.2.tar.gz; cd mocks-0.0.2;rm -rf mocks.conf; wget http://andromeda.covers.de/221/mocks.conf; touch mocks.log; chmod 0 mocks.log; ./mocks start [19:00] and i'm infected [19:00] !nntp [19:00] they connect irc from MY PC [19:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about nntp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:00] how to delete it? [19:00] Zn3t060-> how did it got mounted? and where? [19:01] lux: well, trying to figure what the exact problem was... I think it may have been something else than running out of memory [19:01] Jowi: how is the synthax like in the xorg.conf? [19:01] zelrikriando, Modes "1440x900" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" [19:01] Hello some people has gived me one site THIS one to download it: http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mocks/mocks-0.0.2.tar.gz; tar xvfz mocks-0.0.2.tar.gz; rm -rf mocks-0.0.2.tar.gz; cd mocks-0.0.2;rm -rf mocks.conf; wget http://andromeda.covers.de/221/mocks.conf; touch mocks.log; chmod 0 mocks.log; ./mocks start and i'm infected how to delete that cuz they connect irc from my box [19:01] !repeat | bosanac [19:01] bosanac: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[19:01] bosanac, please do not repeat.... and dont install things from people you dont trust [19:01] zelrikriando, ctrl-alt-backspace should be enough [19:02] lux: well it needs some configuration to work right with some programs, that is for sure...

[19:06] eh how to change the resolution [19:06] I have a simple question to ask, when im using compiz, what controlls the opacities of the inactive windows? (im not using emerald) [19:06] is there a way to get the alt key to work in gnome-terminal? [19:06] azuki, i usually use 512k from CDs ..

To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [19:06] Does anyone know how to forward an X session via SSH?

[19:06] a [19:06] bosanac, so run ps -A and look for any apps that you don't recognise [19:07] marx2k: you have to enable it in the ssh settings and then connect using ssh -X [19:07] mmm4m5m, ctrl-z sends the current command to the background. You can get back to it by typing 'fg' [19:07] lux: (use alt-f7 once there to get back to x) [19:07] marx2k, ssh -X user@othermachine [19:07] zelrikriando, remove lines 108 and 109 and add the res you know your monitor can support on line 118 [19:07] how can i mount an iso so that my computer recognizes it as a DVD? [19:07] !lmsensors | bod_ [19:07] bod_: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [19:07] mmm4m5m: ctrl-C kills it [19:07] hischild: does that forward the current running X session (with all open apps on it) or does it open up a new session? [19:07] Serway: trailfocus <--- have you even looked at the compiz mannager? [19:07] Serway: the picture of that setting says it all [19:07] zicho, for CD isos you can use "sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop name.iso /mountpoint/here" [19:08] ompaul, cheers m8 ;~) [19:08] marx2k: it allows you to use GUI apps on command line. It does not forward currently open apps. [19:08] Jowi, okay. I will try! [19:08] marx2k: for that i suggest you take a look at vnc via ssh tunnels. [19:08] hischild: Ah. What I wanted was to control my upstairs box's X session from my downstairs laptop [19:08] :: -> I could use /media/cdrom0 ? [19:08] sjovan, wow i have never looked there, and i have used compiz since 2005-6 [19:08] vnc via ssh tunnels. Got it. Will google. Thanks :) [19:08] marx2k, you could also look into using XDMCP .. it might allow you to connect to existing sessions [19:08] 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?

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] azuki, well, was /media/cdrom mounted, is there a CD in the tray? [19:09] unop: yes [19:10] Jowi, that doesnt make it work as a physical DVD. How can i do that? [19:10] how do i find the firewall in ubuntu ? [19:10] azuki, do you get anything when you ls /media/cdrom ? [19:10] !firewall | YosemiteSam [19:10] YosemiteSam: 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] sjovan, it seems whatever i change the settings to, it still stays a tad transparent, (im talking about the toolbar) [19:10] unop: yes.. [19:10] unop: the usual files [19:11] 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] zicho, what's the difference between a mounted DVD and a mounted .iso file? [19:11] ood=good [19:11] azuki, actually, your /media/cdrom might not be the mount point for /dev/cdrom .. find out what device was mounted under /media/cdrom using. mount [19:11] marx2k: 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] Jowi, but where should i mount it to make my computer think its a DVD disc? [19:11] bod_: considering i run at 65 +- 3, you're good [19:11] unop: found the problem... it worked well.. [19:11] unop: thank man!!! [19:11] azuki, what was the problem? [19:11] bod_, the words hardware dependent please look at your bios for guides ;-) [19:12] hischild, ok cheers ;~) ompaul,. ty [19:12] how do I quit and not save out of an edit file? [19:12] unop: I had a different dos-boot CD in there (tweaking purposes) so when I DD'd it.. it was super fast!!.. :) [19:12] was only one floppy worth of data [19:12] bod_: yw [19:12] zicho, 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 /media [19:12] azuki, ok cool [19:12] ;~) [19:12] i have just downloaded assaultcube to my desktop...how do i install the game itself? extract it or what? [19:12] Jowi, okay [19:13] patrick__: depends on the format. If you can extract, then do so. It will probably contain a readme file. Read that first. [19:13] unop: woops.. [19:13] ... it's not [19:14] mmm4m5m, 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] what is the command to quit an edit file? [19:14] unop: it's creating a very small iso file on the desktop.. === coldboot|home is now known as coldboot [19:15] unop: but it's definatly not the CD [19:15] zicho, 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] 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] unop: I am pretty sure that /cdrom0 is the mount point [19:15] azuki, make sure you are using the right device in if -- [19:15] azuki, what is the device that /cdrom0 has mounted? [19:16] ok I made some progres [19:16] unop: cd-rw drive [19:16] the window doesnt crash anymore...but is kinda empty [19:16] and it has a CD inside [19:16] patrick__: search for those using aptitude ... (use lowercase when searching) ===> aptitude search [19:16] there is also a link (/media/cdrom) [19:16] unop: 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] patrick__: if they are installed, the first letter will be an i. [19:16] azuki, no, i mean device under /dev .. /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrom0, -- find out with mount [19:17] mmm4m5m, bg is a bash keyword -- you need 'help bg' not 'man bg' [19:17] scd0 [19:17] unop: thank you very much, all the best [19:17] hey room [19:17] i got like 3 restart when i hit CTRL+ALT+F2 [19:17] unop: scd0 [19:17] hischild okay i have them installed, then it says "linux: cd to the main AssaultCube directory and execute Assaultcube.sh" what does this mean? [19:17] unop: should I use that? [19:18] azuki, then you need this -- dd if=/dev/scd0 of= .... :) [19:18] is there default support for 4 gigs of ram in 7.10 [19:18] anyone here havbe an NVIDIA 8400 GS? [19:18] patrick__: open up a terminal, then type ==> cd <=== and then type ==> ./Assaultcube.sh <=== [19:18] unop: seems to work now.. [19:18] unop: thank! [19:18] How do I tell grep or some other text program to only show me character x to character y? [19:19] kaminix, you want to match characters in the alphabet x-y ... or positions x-y ? [19:19] hischild, sorry for being a noob, how do i know the directory? [19:20] patrick__, pwd? [19:20] archangelpetro: no [19:20] dir [19:20] unop: Position x-y [19:20] patrick__: the directory you extracted it to. [19:20] ah [19:20] ls -s [19:20] hischild i just extracted to my desktop is all [19:20] kaminix, you need to use cut for that [19:20] patrick__: then it's probably in ~/Desktop/ [19:21] kaminix, command | cut -c $X-$Y [19:21] you can see that name on the Desktop [19:21] k [19:21] unop: Thanks :) [19:21] lux: weird... it didn't display "login:" ? Did you try alt-f7 after that? [19:22] Can someone tell me where FireFox is installed by default on Ubuntu?

[19:54] okay [19:55] well, is there any way I could update the synaptic package manager to include certain things? [19:55] simplexio: the operating system [19:55] he wants to hack ubuntu code and find Morfius [19:55] hes the new NEO [19:55] I am neo [19:55] Oasys: 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] lol [19:56] Oasys: 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] kplaxmaster: Thanks. [19:56] Oasys: there is no ubuntu operating system, there is ubuntu the linux distro [19:56] kplaxmaster, that's quite a bit of nonsense there [19:56] uhm, which *is* an operating system [19:56] Seveas: how so?? [19:56] that is intresting question LjL [19:57] nonix4 okei i try ctrl,alt,f2 again and then f7 ? [19:57] OS is a kernel and programs [19:57] kplaxmaster, because there's not a single thing true about that statement [19:57] Ubuntu is the desktop programs [19:57] kernel is linux [19:57] simplexio: 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 OS [19:57] dxdt, mono is a vm, not a language, deskbar is written in C# [19:57] kernel=linux, os=gnu [19:57] Also my nxclient keeps timing out. [19:57] Especially, when I leave the window. [19:57] Seveas: 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 well [19:57] LjL: no [19:58] Is it not a good idea to just jump into learning c? [19:58] kplaxmaster, again nonsense :) [19:58] I mean what language would I need to learn to add on the Ubuntu for personal use? [19:58] Seveas: 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 point [19:58] brian, that's what i did. its great. [19:58] Hi, I would like to know if there is setting for gnome-panel which prevents the resizing of the applications tasklets [19:58] DRebellion, os=ubuntu is more appropriate, ubuntu has much more software than gnu [19:58] ok, let's jusst asy thi sis [19:58] brian, if i take the linux kernel modify it so its different from the vanilla kernel, put some program ontop of it and release the product named "ubuntu" .. is ubuntu the operating system or is it just a name? :) [19:58] !offtopic [19:58] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:58] how to remote control a computer with gui support? [19:58] Seveas: is it nonsense?? where did network manager come from lol [19:58] Tootbatot, vnc? [19:58] hi all [19:58] for eg. if the title of web page changes, then the entire apps shift. [19:58] dxdt, C# isn't the only language suitable for mono ;) [19:58] brian, with any programming language, you will have to sit down and learn it. [19:59] DRebellion what?

[20:00] Tootbatot, enable remote desktop (system -> prefs -> remote desktop) and use a vnc client to connect [20:00] toptyg-> you have to pass it on to the script [20:00] brian, its a function of your IRC chat program [20:00] Hello everyone :) Does anyone know how to make Conky load ten seconds after I log in?

[20:01] What's the difference between bzip and gzip? as in, when should i use one or the other [20:01] !vnc | Tootbatot [20:01] Tootbatot: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [20:01] wiki.ubuntu.com isn't loading for me, Is it just me?

I tried to update my driver via Envy, but i got an error, so I uninstalled the nvidia_glx drivers that I was using and tried again and go the same error. I reinstalled my old drivers and restarted and got a lot of errors about xserver and it booted in low graphics mode with restricted drivers disabled. I can't get them to reinable so i can use desktop effects anymore!! help please [20:01] brian, Virtual functions gave me a headache [20:02] schultza, Wow I am 17 and know neither [20:02] Tootbatot, depends if you want the full desktop and the ability to connect to an existing login [20:02] hexon, you used envy. You start from scratch [20:02] i have a problem with the dependencies [20:02] why cant ubuntu handle multiple audio channels? i have to shut down mp3 player to hear sounds in other programs [20:02] hey guys i am trying to watch NCAA MARCH MADNESS ON DEMAND but it is not working can anybody help please? [20:02] brian, start with C. Learn the standard (ANSI) version first. [20:02] Seveas: I noticed. How can I fix it? [20:02] hexon, by starting from scratch. We do not support envy [20:02] Oasys: not just you [20:02] why cant ubuntu handle multiple audio channels? i have to shut down mp3 player to hear sounds in other programs [20:02] DRebellion i want all options [20:02] brian, then expand your knowlege. The reason for C is that everything on linux is mostly created with C. [20:02] Can anyone tell me how to make Conky load 10 seconds after I start my computer? [20:02] schultza, There is another version than standard ansi? [20:03] hey guys i am trying to watch NCAA MARCH MADNESS ON DEMAND but it is not working can anybody help please? [20:03] Seveas: what do you mean start from scratch?

[20:03] having a weird screen resolution issue. I'll explain if someone has time to help me [20:03] learning c++ is much easier, imho [20:04] nonix4 u said something about ctrl +alt+f2 and then f7 ?? f7 didnt work [20:04] there is something wrong with the flash player online or something else [20:04] Seveas: I did reconfigure X, and I'm currently in a good resolution, but if i enable desktop effects again and restart, it gives me an error message [20:04] you know how in ctrl-alt-delete in windows... so is there a keyboard shortcut to system monitor in linux? [20:04] Tootbatot, you have two main options: 1) vnc: slower, full desktop, ability to connect to existing session. 2) ssh -X (x-forwarding) faster, must have xserver running on client computer, more tricky to forward entire desktop, better suited for forwarding individual applications.

[20:05] DRebellion: well the question is i am trying to watch NCAA MARCH MADNESS online and the streamer or something is not working and its not playing [20:06] I have tried in the past. I have never gotten an answer. Here goes. I just installed ubuntu on an old desktop and I have it hooked up to an HD monitor. Only VGA video on the desktop, so I know res will suck, but the screen is push all over to one side (i cannot see part of the applications menu) and the is a flashing bar on the right side [20:06] unop, is K&R the same as the ANSI standard?

[20:07] brian__, there is an ANSI version to the K&R book, i dont think it is advanced but yea, you might like to have an accompaniment to it -- C for dummies is a good one [20:07] It was over discussing kernel development.

[20:07] amenado: do you know how to write script and put some parametrs for it? :) [20:07] Serveck, you could try the beta version [20:07] schultza, what book?

It is a generic Mad Catz wireless controller. I tested it on a Windows machine, and it works. So all I should have to do is put it's device ID into the xpad.c file.

[20:24] I 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] nj786: I would think it needs either windows media player or realplayer - medibuntu is a repository for codecs that have legal issues in some countries - it is not an os or anything [20:24] Seveas: ....right....and I need them to work together....right now rTorrent can't seed or download to my NTFS partition [20:24] ubuntu-de [20:24] how to go to an other channel?

[20:52] JustJaden: did you put the name of your card driver into the blacklist file? [20:53] but I couldn't exit the edit terminal, so I just closed the application. Apparently it made a duplicate of the file. [20:53] I just loaded 7.10 on my pc - 1023 RAM - 80G hd P4 - with Vista - and everything loaded 100% - even the wireless MS keybord and mopuse - did not expect the wireless stuff also to load 1st time - what a pleasnt experience [20:53] i did complete removal of wine but i can still see it listed under applications...why? [20:53] dang my cdrom is sho [20:53] t [20:53] would it be possible to boot from cdrom, then install from usb hdd?

[21:04] ubotu: alrighty [21:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about alrighty - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:05] w3rd_: any sparc install should work. 6.06 is a LTS so if it is a production machine I would use that [21:05] ubotu: webcam [21:05] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [21:05] ubotu: kernel modules [21:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel modules - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:05] * w3rd_ clearzen: ty, do you also know if 6.06 supports raid config on installation?

[21:07] lwizardl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation/NativeVirtualMachine [21:08] evilzmurf: why not ask the crossover people.. you'll probably get much better answers from them [21:08] evilzmurf: WoW works fine in wine. So if you can't get it to work, try wine instead. [21:08] evilzmurf: use wine. That should have it working for you. [21:08] clearzen: can you link? [21:08] !wine [21:09] evilzmurf: sudo aptitude install wine [21:09] evilzmurf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [21:09] clearzen: okei thanks, I'm pertty new to linux you see, my windows just crached [21:09] lwizardl: yes, google finds, but i recommend virtualbox rather than vwmare [21:09] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [21:09] I've run chkdsk /f /r, I've used a diagnotic and repair tool made by my HDD manufactuor. I've also resized my NTFS partition using ntfsresize, but Ubuntu can't seem to read the partition table or something. [21:10] I have a sony minidv camcorder which lists itself as DCR-30 in lsusb. Is there any way to transfer videos from it to my computer without using a firewire cable? I have tried using cinerella, but it didn't work. Loading the v4l2-common module didn't add any /dev/video* or log something in the kernel log either. [21:10] heydabop: what fdisk / qparted says about that hd ? [21:10] heydabop: you need first create new partition to free space there, but i think you have done it allready [21:11] simplexio, here's what happens when I try to do something on the partition manger. http://rossrs.us/gparted_details.htm [21:11] is there a way to bring whole packages, including dependencies for use on an offline computer? [21:11] Simplexio, wait, that's an old log. [21:12] How to install Wine? I dont really understand what all these thing means. Like " [21:12] Ubuntu Linux Wine for Ubuntu, Debian, and Debian-based distributions Debian Linux [21:12] Debian 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 packages [21:12] here for download. [21:12] There 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] Simplexio, I havn't saved a log since I resized the NTFS partition, but the results are very similer. [21:12] evilzmurf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:12] Adding the WineHQ APT Repository: [21:12] heydabop: i hope so .. bad sectors [21:12] First, 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] silent: Check out AptOnCD [21:12] evilzmurf: don't spam the channel [21:12] evilzmurf: !pastebin or give us the url [21:12] Simplexio, yea, I noticed. When I ran SeaTools it repaired 5. Now it doesn't say there are any errors. [21:12] Sorry for that === usrsrc is now known as bashconsole [21:12] I have a load of repository indexes that are not downloading, is that average ? http://paste.stirk.org/19078 [21:12] evilzmurf: if you don't know what apt is and you're using a debian-based operating system, do some reading. [21:12] Simplexio, and when I used ntfsresize, I had to use -b. [21:12] Server Irc.quakenet.org -J #SSBB.IL/ [21:13] hi and thanks for ubuntu! was the first start of gnome xchat! the grphics driver doesn't work for radeon x1950 pro ati....but neither does the driver by ati itself...thanks an have a nice evening/day ;) [21:13] evilzmurf: You can either install wine from the Ubuntu repositories, or the wine, third party, repositories. [21:13] Rezagrats: well.. depends.. have you upgraded from an earlier version? [21:13] hey anybody know about how to use camcorders with linux here? [21:13] Flannel, ok i'll try [21:13] Simplexio, should I just get a new hard drive? I was thinking about buying a bigger one anyway. === bashconsole is now known as bashc [21:14] Earlier version of what, ubuntu ? im still on 7.10 [21:14] hi [21:14] I need some help, how can I install a webcam that the driver is an exe file? [21:14] heydabop: bad sector are allways first sign of soon happening harware failure [21:14] i installed logitech web cam [21:14] newbie_: exe files are usually windows software.. you'll have to look for a linux driver for the webcam [21:14] harmental: soon as now or in few years, like everything in computer world [21:14] Simplexio, alright. Guess it's time for a full backup. [21:14] Can anybody recommend me a sound card that works really well with Ubuntu?

Then mount the usb and start the install process [21:15] Simplexio, ok, I'll do that. So Ubuntu probably won't be able to make an ext3 partition due to the bad sectors? [21:15] did anyone try 8.04 beta? === bashc is now known as usrsrc [21:16] miha: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy questions [21:16] I forgot to tell, the cdrom drive is bad, lots of read errors, will boot but that's it [21:16] I use 7.04 and actualized all repositories work oK!

If not get a working cd drive [21:17] Rageon: Did you install Ubuntu or Kubuntu? Do you start programs from a menu on the top or the bottom of the screen? [21:17] miha: the unofficial builds of XChat for windows are free, but the XChat developers think that compiling for windows is hard [21:18] Is a driver for linux webcam see yaho messenger for linux [21:18] any better method than rerepro ?? [21:18] clearzen, I figured so much, but how should I point the installer to the usb hdd [21:18] eax: yes, commandline, but example anjuta and eclipse both know howto use it, without wouy needing to allways write [21:18] Sorry, it may just be me that is stupid but, how do Wine work?

Works fine in windows [21:24] robotjox: Hardy support is in #ubuntu+1, thanks [21:24] miha: Yes, you can use a program called btnx ("BuTtoN eXtension") to configure your extra buttons. [21:24] sorry - didn't know :) [21:24] robotjox: I noticed that too. Check your nvidia settings to make sure the gamma is set right [21:24] ConstyXIV: you should probably see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/Blackberry and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup - when/if the wiki works [21:24] dragonphyre: you did? gamma is at 1 though [21:25] thnx [21:25] If I edit a file, how do I quit and save? [21:25] in the terminal I mean [21:25] miha: No problem. It's a great program, it'll hopefully be included in Ubuntu by default in the future. [21:25] robotjox: Mine was set super-high. I set it back down to where it was supposed to be, and now both screens are the same. [21:25] Can anybody recommend me a sound card that works really well with Ubuntu? [21:26] JustJaden: What program are you using to edit the file? [21:26] dragonphyre: ok, well my settings are all at default, meaning 0,0,1 [21:26] RyanPrior: Terminal [21:26] robotjox: Sorry that my fix won't help you then. :( === miha is now known as MikeS_Bel [21:27] I just added, something to the blacklist, and I want to exit and save [21:27] dragonphyre: np - thanks for trying :) [21:27] JustJaden: There's another program within the terminal, though. What did you type to start editing the file? (examples: "vi myfile.txt", "nano myfile.conf", etc) [21:27] JustJaden, "terminal" is just a place where you execute text-mode programs. [21:27] JustJaden: what editor are you using? [21:27] RyanPrior:the creative audigy line works reasonably well.. (That Creative is the slime of the earth is another thing but the cards have pretty good support in linux at least) [21:27] or it could mean you are dieing. [21:28] Sorry for asking alot, but should i uinstall CrossOver games to? [21:28] evilzmurf: I would [21:28] evilzmurf: If you don't want it, nuke it. [21:28] clearzen: Okei [21:28] whats the keyboard shortcut to switch between workspaces? [21:29] RyanPrior: Willdo [21:29] evilzmurf: I also suggest Wine-Doors, a package manager for Wine. [21:29] control alt left or right arrow key? [21:29] Rageon: ctrl + alt and a arrow key [21:29] Rageon: in compiz at least [21:29] doesnt work :s [21:29] RyanPrior: Okeys [21:29] Hi, have an old laptop: no network, broken cdrom (will boot though), no usb boot support, want to boot from cdrom and install from usb hdd, how would I do so? [21:29] Slart: I didn't know Creative had a bad rep. I was thinking of buying speakers from them. [21:29] hi [21:30] alot of options in compiz settings and keyboard shortcuts have dissappeared [21:30] Rageon: got more than one desktop? [21:30] like switch to workspace ones.. [21:30] gnome keyring doesn't remember my password for my ftp server...even after I check the remember forever box. How do I fix this? [21:30] Ctrl+Alt+ [21:30] that is for switching between workspaces [21:30] yea i do [21:30] RyanPrior: it's because they are threating to sue a community modder of their firmware [21:30] anyone has experience already with updating from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS? [21:30] zaggy-nl: You'll need to get an external CD drive if the built-in one doesn't work. [21:30] is there anyway to shut off notification of people quitting and entering the channel in xchat? It's making it hard to follow conversations. [21:30] do a ctrl -alt backspace and reload it [21:30] how 'bout 'dem tigers! [21:30] RyanPrior, I can boot from it, installing fails due to lots of read errors [21:30] Meatgrinder: Use Konversation. [21:30] Meatgrinder: yes it should be in the the options someplace if I rememebr correctly [21:31] hehe, i do in linux [21:31] ok i'll ck it again [21:31] so that's why I thought about booting from cd, then installing from usb hdd [21:31] zaggy-nl: Yeah, probably would be good to replace the drive or borrow an external one from a mate. [21:31] it won't boot from anything usb [21:31] zaggy-nl: Ah, I see. [21:31] Meatgrinder: umm you do in Linux then why aren't you using it with Ubuntu since Ubuntu is Linux :) [21:31] Meatgrinder: put your app in conferance mode if it can and you won't see the ins and outs [21:31] still doesnt work :s [21:31] im on my windoze machine right now. :) [21:31] zaggy-nl: And you can't netboot because there's no networking, eh? Sounds like a pretty useless machine. Time to donate to charity and see if they would have any use for its pieces. :-) [21:32] Meatgrinder: that shouldn't matter [21:32] kindofabuzz, ok ill ck for conference mode [21:32] Meatgrinder: ah so your not really using xcaht then unless you paid for it [21:32] the keyboard shortcuts from metacity work in compiz mode also [21:32] RyanPrior, I shall NOT give up on this poor ol' laptop >:( [21:32] I've got plenty of pcmcia wifi cards [21:32] zaggy-nl: In that case, it sounds like you'd need to spend money on it in order to get it into any usable state. [21:32] Meatgrinder: then I do not know then [21:32] zaggy-nl: cannibalize it!! [21:32] texas got pwned =) [21:32] the boot from cdrom, install from usb hdd idea should be doable [21:32] kindofabuzz, i dunno, i just downloaded now on my windoze machine and ran it. [21:32] try a new edit method sudo nano [21:32] zaggy-nl: If you can figure out how to netboot using a wifi card, go ahead -- I don't know if it's possible though. [21:33] tough to find a tutorial for said specific case [21:33] zaggy-nl: yeah, it should work. Why do you want to if you don't have network access with it though? [21:33] excuse me, anyone know if exist an installer for linux to the game bioshock? [21:33] clearzen, I was hopen to put wifi drivers on it using usb stick, then get wifi to work [21:33] zaggy-nl: sneakernet works fine, yeah. [21:34] will i notice a difference with 64bit??????// [21:34] DeadLy_sp_: doesn't look good from a Wine perspective.

[21:34] i am new in ubuntu. [21:34] JustJaden: is it in a terminal or is it graphical. If it is graphical then it is most likely gedit [21:34] mactaylor: 32bit has less problems [21:35] RyanPrior, i dont like wine :/ [21:35] I think I used the sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [21:35] mactaylor: 64bit is worth after you have more that 4G RAM [21:35] JustJaden: do you remember what command you used to start editing the file? [21:35] JustJaden: ok, it's vim [21:35] JustJaden: do this :wq [21:35] Ok i'll try that [21:35] JustJaden: if :wq doesn't work, try hitting escape and doing it again. [21:35] but no speed increase? [21:35] blacklist what ? [21:36] DeadLy_sp_: I don't see a Bioshock game for native Linux. [21:36] What in the world does "mand" mean in mtab? [21:36] I see this: //129.64.131.37/downloads on /media/downloads type cifs (rw,mand) for one of my samba shares when I type mount, and I have no idea what that means. [21:36] i have checked the blacklist file , but what do i use if i am not using iwl39445 for my wifi card ? [21:36] kindofabuzz, Found it, that is if anyone cares...just right click on tab channel in xchat to turn off join/leave messages. [21:36] could someone tell me how can I connect to internet using the command prompt? which commands do I need? [21:36] Now it says E212: Can't open file for writing. [21:36] DeadLy_sp_: yes, there is, it's called wine ./Bioshock/setup.exe ;) [21:36] how do i turn ubuntu into a sexy robot woman? is there a tutorial on the wiki?

I reccomend getting a graphical browser [21:37] depends on what you are going to do with her [21:37] lynx is the best browser in the universe [21:37] apart from this picture issue [21:37] how come my pidgin version is 2.2.1 but the latest available on pidgin.im is 2.4.0, but synaptic doesn't see anything newer?

[21:42] acalbaza_: check sata from /dev/sd?? or /dev/disk/*, ide /dev/sda? or hd?? [21:42] eerpini_: you need to install the driver manually them [21:42] How do I get widgets on Ubuntu?

[22:59] JustJaden, yes except the (last part) [23:00] JustJaden, use shift-ctrl-v to paste into a terminal [23:01] Hi, I wonder if someone could help me try and recover my machine that won't boot [23:01] Jack_Sparrow: so did you want the website that it gives me? http://pastebin.com/f5e2b6bec [23:01] LjL, Installed: 2.7-9ubuntu2 [23:02] yes [23:02] masmota: trying removing ati related drivers and reinstalling the proprietary version. good idea thanks [23:02] shawnr34: ok you're messed up. libc6 is, basically, the most important library on your system, and you have the Hardy version instead of the proper Gutsy version. [23:02] I get some init errors and the machine won't boot. Errors are here: http://pastebin.ca/963906 [23:02] shawnr34: in other words, you have a system that is half Gutsy and half Hardy.

[23:03] JustJaden, For starters.. you are in the wrong room.. Hardy is #Ubuntu+1 [23:03] LjL, how can I fix this [23:03] shawnr34: i'm sorry, but i have no easy solution (you could try completely upgrading to Hardy, but given the state of your system, that might not be successful, and Hardy may still be unstable anyway)... you should remember to not mix weird repositories, EVER, next time :| [23:03] dragonlotus: just to get the files back the way they should be, then u can swap [23:03] like reinstall theother [23:04] shawnr34: or we could try to bring you back to the right version of libc6, but even that might fail and possibly break more stuff, depending on how much other Hardy stuff you have installed. [23:04] maybe it was diff in my case [23:04] msg nickserv identify sasa [23:04] paper_app: change it now. [23:04] hey everyone [23:04] LjL, do you think I would come back up from a reboot right now? [23:04] I tried following this thread from the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=322709 but I can't do the mount from within the livecd as it says unknown filesystem 'linux_raid_member' [23:04] ware do the names for ubuntu releases come from? [23:04] if i partition 40 gigs to linux, should that be enough for programming, anime, and roms? also could I re add it back to windows if I ever have to for some reason? [23:04] shawnr34: probably yes, couldn't swear on it [23:04] jason, looney toons [23:04] .......oh! wow....sorry everyone. Thanks for all your help though. [23:04] jason, they all use alliteration [23:05] I want to login to a server using sftp:// on nautilus, but I want to become root after I login. I can login with sftp://user@host, but I need to become root only after logging in. How can I do this? [23:05] charles: really?!? [23:05] JustJaden, For what is is worth, your sources look fine [23:05] LjL, cause I can reinstall but hal stopped or something my thumb drive isn't mounting and i need it to back some things up [23:05] Tatester: what the heck happened? [23:05] Lunks, you can't do that [23:05] shawnr34: can always use a live cd i suppose [23:05] Jack_Sparrow: thanks. [23:05] I'm not sure to be honest!!!! [23:05] np [23:05] Tatster: what was the last thing you did? [23:06] charles__: I can't change user after connected? [23:06] Tatster: does recovery mode work? [23:06] I can do it on ssh easily. [23:06] Lunks, sftp doesn't have a concept of switching users [23:06] could i ask a question about 6 LTS here? [23:06] How long does it take to shrink a vol. and install 7.10? [23:06] unocrash, sure [23:07] So..which Ubuntu are all of you using? [23:07] charles__: I want a simple drag'n drop utility which can do this. Can you point me in some direction? =P [23:07] One minute system was fine, then webmin started responding weirdly....then I ventured into my loft where the box and I couldn't login locally, rebooted (yes I know it was probably the wrong thing to do) and now it won't boot [23:07] JustJaden: Feisty as Gutsy doesn't work on my lappie :( [23:07] Lunks, why can't you just log in as root to begin with? [23:07] Azure_Tide, how much is on the volume you are shrinking and how big of a volume is it.. too many factors for a simple answer [23:07] hello boot... how can i to change my pass??

[23:08] JustJaden: DO you have a good comouter [23:08] Tatster: ick... that's bad.... server? [23:08] home server [23:08] Tatster: i mean, does it have a gui? [23:08] Azure_Tide, plan on it taking awhile.. [23:08] it has xfce4 on it [23:09] Done!! tnks so much!!! [23:09] Azure_Tide, defrag your ntfs.. twice before starting [23:09] Tatster: ah... xubuntu? or ubuntu server + xfce? [23:09] JustJaden: Try either Ubuntu or xubuntu. [23:09] hi all. for somewhat reason my shortcut ctrl+alt+del for logout doesnt work anymore. any ideas?.. [23:09] charles: ati x1270 [23:10] Jack_Sparrow, I have a TL-56 dual core cpu, 2 gb ram, and ati x1200, would 7.10 ubuntu be the best version for me based on those specs?

[23:10] Jack_Sparrow, no this one would restart x11 (or something) [23:10] charles_ : I dont know what command I have to use... My card is an ati x1270 [23:10] I like the layout of Hardy, but....I don't know any better. [23:10] JustJaden: xubuntu, then ubuntu/kubuntu [23:10] ubuntu + xfce4 - I think!! I have experimented with loads of variations! [23:10] Tatster: well, it doesn't really matter either way... does recovery mode in the bootloader work?

[23:12] Jack_Sparrow, yes its 32bit, and defrag twice? I defraged with AIM up last night, and defragged again about 1-2 weeks ago, should I still do 2 defrags w/ everything closed now, or just one? [23:12] lol i don't think that worked unocrash [23:12] Jack_Sparrow the point is, it worked all the time, but now not anymore.. i cannot remember if i changed something.. the shortcut is still there in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts [23:12] JustJaden: !_____ makes ubuntu talk. i thought he knew what xfce was, but it doesn't work.

[23:13] ubotu [23:14] sorry [23:14] tommykn0cker, Did you do anything with compiz or effects.. it messed up my shortcuts [23:14] Well im getting the wireless network set up on ubuntu on a new laptop [23:14] Thanks Sparrow, I'll do that again then and if I have any more problems then I'll come on back [23:14] good luck [23:14] JustJaden: xfce is a lightweight window manager, it does the same function as gnome or kde === dazedx is now known as cdn_guy [23:14] thanks [23:15] Jack_Sparrow, nope, i didnt install anything like that... [23:15] JustJaden: If you have a old or slow computer, go with xubuntu, if you have an average or above average pc or mac, use that. If you want to use KDE, go with kubuntu. If you like to edit media, install UbuntuStudio. [23:15] Every time I update stuff, the /etc/ld.so.cache file gets corrupt and stops my laptop from booting. Can you help please? [23:16] I know it's somewhat idle chatter, but I cannot resist. I'm a ubuntu newbie, but I am absolutely shocked how smoothly this install has gone! [23:16] Justjaden: I would just go with ubuntu [23:16] sound card, sd card, printer, video, unbelievable [23:16] reads NTFS drives no problem...

[23:17] I've reached a screen asking which device do I wish to use as root filesystem [23:17] DragonLotus, /join #Compiz [23:17] Can someone lend some insight into this problem im having, I cant connect to my routers control panel, its not asking me for admission Firefox and IE are just waiting and waiting for a signal. [23:17] djjd: i'll check [23:17] thanks to all that helped make this happen, I am *really* impressed. [23:17] which version of Ubuntu? I have hardy right now, but I have no Idea what I'm doing. Just starting my CS major, and wanted the Baptismal by fire treatment. So I deleted Windows completely and downloaded Ubuntu. I'm totally starting from scratch and am just wondering what the best option is. phew...what a mouthful. Any advise would be spectacular [23:18] Jack_Sparrow: I'm not using compiz... though... [23:18] Tatster: you have an ide or sata hard dise? [23:18] disk* [23:18] kadakas: prety important; ld is the dinamic linker if it fails all *.so fails too (all dlls in windows lingo) [23:18] I had/hope I still have! volume groups setup [23:18] djjd: It's [23:18] ide [23:18] Tatster: crud you're using LVM? [23:18] DragonLotus, They are good at setting up all video cards.. what did fglrxinfo show [23:18] what is super? [23:18] fraid 'so [23:18] What is the command for use XGL? [23:18] djjd, windows key [23:18] djjd: windows key [23:19] hello, cna some one help me completely remove grub and ubuntu (on hard drive #1) are restore hard drive 2s ability (windows xp) to boot on its own [23:19] :) [23:19] thx [23:19] anyone got bluray reading and writing working under ubuntu....I am trying to find a compatability list...but no luck [23:19] JustJaden: Ubuntu 7.10 [23:19] I have already installed [23:19] Tatster: i have no experience with that... but try /dev/hda1 for the root filesystem [23:19] Jack_Sparrow: ahh =) fglrxinfo isn't installed. I downloaded the ati proprietary driver. [23:20] hmm does not work [23:20] unocrash: 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] i saw where nero linux will do it, but they didnt show a compat list either... [23:20] root is actually on a volume group - I have an option for /dev/vg1/lvroot which represents a logical volume for root partition if you like [23:20] JustJaden: Idk [23:20] I have tried usiong repair on my xp disk to do fixboot, bootxfg, and fixmbr [23:20] Jack_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] JustJaden: Hardy is beta at the moment, so you might have some glitches, which are harder to deal with when you're inexperienced [23:20] I'm guessing this should be the one to choose ? [23:20] I went with x86, even though my system is 64-bit conpatible [23:20] soundray: ha! understatement. I love this experience though. So glad to be done with Windows. [23:21] JustJaden: amd64 is faster for numbercrunching/video encoding [23:21] djjd: you have to hold it [23:21] When trying to boot off of the xp hard drive i get ntldr missing [23:21] Tatster: uh... probably? i'm not sure, sorry [23:21] how much fast, soundray? [23:21] *faster [23:21] like, is it noticeably faster? [23:21] JustJaden: amd64 also allows you to use more RAM [23:21] DragonLotus, 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 exception [23:21] Positronic: that can depend on which particular model/version you're running. [23:21] quit [23:21] I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu (because i screwed it up) over the previous installation, but it keeps telling me that"File systems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other file systems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting." [23:21] djjd: to turn on the rain effect, hit shift+F9. [23:21] processor or distro? [23:21] proc. [23:21] Positronic: it's noticeably faster with some 3D image processing software I use. [23:22] cool thanks [23:22] now what about the fire? [23:22] Positronic: for desktop responsiveness, it makes no difference [23:22] ummmmm [23:22] hexon, that is correct / needs to be reformatted [23:22] djjd: idk [23:22] Jack_Sparrow: how do I do that? [23:22] you have to set it. [23:23] isn't there a way to address more RAM than the 32-bit version of ubuntu allows in the 32-bit version? [23:23] JustJaden: if you have or plan to upgrade to 4GB+, go with amd64. [23:23] djjd: you have to set the key [23:23] hexon, it should take care of things by itself, are you trying to preserve thingsa on your old system? [23:23] Well thank you for all your help everyone. I'm going to love this crowd. I'll catch you on the flipside when I get 7.10 loaded. [23:24] Hello, I have Ubuntu + grub on a hard drive (samsung, for name sake to keep track) and xp on another one (maxtor), and id like to remove ubuntu and grub so that i can boot off of maxtor and use samsung as more storage for XP, but i tried an online guide and now when i try to boot off of mactor i get "NTLDR is missing [Next line] Press any key to restart" [23:24] Positronic: there would be, but Linus Torvalds has personally argued against it, so I don't think it'll make its way into the mainline kernel [23:24] hi i m under a router and i m using java-vnc i can't get my vnc from the net only intranet ... any idea? [23:24] ah [23:24] Jack_Sparrow, no, I want to completely start fresh, but it won't let me place the '/' mount location over the preexisting dev/sda6 [23:24] Swiss73: that's no good... google for that error message... your windows drive is messed up [23:25] Is anyone aware of a way to have the GDM login aquire an IP over a secure wireless network automatically? [23:25] the negitave thing is cool! [23:25] hexon, it should as long as you put a check mark next to it to allow formatting [23:25] mDemocritus: i did, and nothing worked, i have a windows XP upgrade hom edition and it wont let me jsut ovewrite everything [23:25] Debian style I guess you could say. [23:25] !vnc [23:25] shukty: you need to find out which ports vnc uses, and forward those from the router to the machine. For security, look up vnc tunnelling through ssh. [23:25] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [23:25] Jack_Sparrow: oooohhh, now i see [23:25] thanks [23:26] ok [23:26] np [23:26] Swiss73: ntldr is missing is a fairly common error for windows... we can't really help here, try google and the ##windows channel [23:26] my ubuntu doesnt wake up after suspend.. any ideas? just black screen; only reset helps [23:26] Swiss73: boot a instalation windows cd into recovery mode and use fixmbr to install the win boot loader. [23:26] ./ex3d: symbol lookup error: ./ex3d: undefined symbol: _install_allegro_version_check [23:26] any one can help ?? [23:26] Swiss73: it means you're missing the boot sector [23:26] every time I load xchat I get an error about "balloon messages" not being able to display and to install libnotify. however libnotify1 from the repo's IS installed.. the error doesn't prevent xchat from loading or working though. What is this and how do I fix it? [23:26] Swiss73: do what erUSUL says [23:27] erUSUL: i did that as some one told me to get rid of grub and NOW i have ntldr missing [23:27] tommykn0cker: look at the video-related settings in /etc/default/acpi-support -- it often takes some experimentation to find a combination that works [23:27] Swiss73: did you make the second drive your primary drive? [23:27] Swiss73: maybe you should first change the master slave status of the disk or mark the correct disk for booting on bios [23:28] erUSUL: im using the small cable, not the master slave ones, what do i do? [23:29] soundray, alright ill try it out, thx [23:29] My pigden keeps exiting is there a way to uninstall it and reinstall it to get the default settings ? [23:30] Swiss73: the disk where windows is installed should be the first one on the boot sequence on bios if you are using sata i guess [23:30] erUSUL, so my maxtor, ill boot from that one sec [23:30] !kopete [23:30] ntdlr missing could also mean you have a floppy in the drive [23:30] Instant Messenger Client Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) is supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !Pidgin [23:30] I'm going to have to scratch my head some more another day. I'm probably going to remove 1 of my drives (mirrored) then have another crack at resolving my non-booting, otherwise re-install [23:31] i have no floppy drive [23:31] salve [23:31] You mbr is corrupted you will need to boot off a windows cd and repair [23:31] seriously [23:31] Okay I booted of my maxtor and i get NTLDR is missing press any key to restart [23:32] Is the new PolicyKit thing only for gnome or is it also for kde? [23:32] i already did that like twice djjd [23:32] does any one kno how to install shorched3d????? [23:32] what is the command for dist upgrade? [23:32] silencedbear: if you quit pidgin, do a 'mv ~/.purple ~/pidgin-config-backup' and start it again, it should generate a fresh configuration for you [23:33] Swiss73: try using "fixmbr" again. btw we are a little be offtopic now [23:33] boot into recovery mode and get to a command prompt then you can copy the old hive from the repair folder [23:33] Aval0n: 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'?

I started trying to get direct rendering to work... and now I'm having trouble even getting things to display properly. [23:45] Swiss73: undoing grub is installing the windows bootloader which is a bit oftopic ;) [23:45] Swiss73: you said you wanted to blow away that ubuntu drive to use it as storage right? [23:45] Swiss73: no guarantees, but I think you're on the right way [23:45] silencedbear: /topic [23:45] can sum one tell me how to reinstall ubuntu cuz my ubuntu is all messed up [23:45] guys how do i play games while i install xp [23:45] !ot [23:45] bozza: get a console [23:45] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:45] i installed xp on one HD and ubuntu opn the other, simply restart if you want one or the other [23:45] stefg, ure a champion! :D [23:45] bozza, thats a question to ask in ##windows [23:45] Hey, I got some problems installing a program. There is a linux script on the download page, but i don't know what to do, after i downloaded that... This is the link: http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php Can someone help me plz? [23:46] how do i reinstall ubuntu? [23:46] Swiss73: so once you've got windows working again, format the ubuntu drive and you'll be set [23:46] notte a tutti :D [23:46] Hi. When I run a program, how can I see which other programs and/or libraries it calls? Like a subprocess tree? [23:46] XXarmory555XX: boot off the install cd, and install it.... [23:46] mDEmocritus: how do i do that, format the ubuntu drive? [23:46] is there a simple way to restore the contents of a deleted /boot directory? can I just reinstall the kernel from synaptic? [23:46] neophyte notte [23:46] ok ty [23:46] claudia_: pstree [23:46] is there a key to make a window you are in transparent? === Positronic is now known as soyeur [23:47] djjd: hold alt and use the mouse wheel if you have one [23:47] rEvo, just open a terminal, cd to the directory where you downloaded it, and then type ./the_script_name [23:47] whats a text editor i can use? [23:47] Swiss73: for the last time, this is the ubuntu channel... windows questions should be directed towards ##windows or google [23:47] ok [23:47] Rageon: gedit [23:47] http://pastebin.com/d79eb050e elpargo [23:47] semi-newb: no, you'd have to restore it from a backup [23:47] ta [23:47] thanks charles [23:47] thanks [23:47] np [23:47] Swiss73: try Disk Management [23:47] my personal favorite is windowskey+n [23:47] okay [23:48] unop: i need to reinstall xp .. how badly i dont want to ,, while i am bored i want to play pinball .. how do i get the console up [23:48] rEvo, you'll need to make the script executable first -- chmod +c ./scriptname [23:48] hey all I just removed the proprietary drivers for my radeon card. I don't know what to do at this point. I started trying to get direct rendering to work... and now I'm having trouble even getting things to display properly. [23:48] ty unop [23:48] « /msg ubotu etiquette » [23:48] lol [23:48] !lol [23:48] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [23:48] slypheed: tnx [23:48] rEvo, err sorry -- chmod +x ./scriptname [23:49] see you all, bye bye [23:49] anyone know how to get the console and find pinball while installing xp ? [23:49] soundray: the point is, i accidentally deleted my backup. is there no way to get it back? i'm running the system now and i don't want this to be the last time my computer works. [23:49] bozza, we don't support windows XP in here, you should know that [23:50] well . some one might know .. oh well .. ill have to do something else while installing it [23:50] DragonLotus: in your /etc/X11 directory, you should have various xorg.conf backups. Have a look and copy one back to xorg.conf that has 'Driver "ati'' in it instead of 'Driver "fglrx"' [23:50] my sound still isnt working, wine killed it :( [23:50] freenode has a good ##windows channel, there is not reason to ask windows questions here. [23:50] here goes again.... i'm having issues with a supposedly usb mass storage class device not persisting in /dev... the dmesg logs show detection and assignment to /dev/sdb 1 and 2, but when i try to mount it, cat it, or fdisk it, /dev/sdb doesn't exist... it assumes write through for drive caching, i have a feeling that has something to do with it... i've tried this with ubuntustudio and knoppix on x86, as well as xubuntu dapper on ppc [23:50] semi-newb, you could install the linux-image and grub packages, it ought to work [23:51] unop: thanks. I'll try that [23:51] semi-newb: I'm sorry, you got yourself into a bad situation. Boot a live CD, do a backup and reinstall your Ubuntu. [23:51] is there a method of making gif animations short of gimp? [23:51] i have 72 frames and doing that by hand will suck [23:51] mDemocritus: i'd look at udev and dbus/hal [23:51] semi-newb, actually, reinstall them - sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image grub [23:51] heyas -> my friend said after I finish defagging (twice, reccomended from here) that I shuold go do an error check [23:52] there are websites that allow you to make .gif images [23:52] before i partition [23:52] !udev rules | mDemocritus [23:52] mDemocritus: 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] just do a google search, ijustam [23:52] ijustam, there are some plugins that make that a lot easier in gimp [23:52] is that all necessary before I partition to install 7.10 ubuntu? [23:52] stefg, im in live cd now, any suggestions_ [23:52] semi-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] I used gimp to do this one: http://www.carbonflux.org/GrayMan_bow2.gif [23:53] from a avi file [23:53] soundray: thanks will do [23:53] oh really? [23:53] Azure_Tide: why not 8.04? [23:53] i have an mpeg i want to convert to a gif [23:53] eduardo: first mount your installed system [23:53] soundray, doesn't the grub postinst script set that up? [23:53] stefg: you think that would work? the stupid multitracker doesn't show in /dev, but other usb disks work fine [23:53] ijustam, just need to install all the right plugins, take a look at gimp.org also [23:53] semi-newb: also, the /boot/initrd-...gz is fairly specific to your system [23:54] boohbah > 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] soundray: restarting [23:54] ijustam, also in the ubuntu repo's if you search for "gimp" using symantac there is a video/animation package you can install [23:54] unop: I don't think so... but I may be wrong. [23:54] stefg, where do i mount my hd to? [23:54] mDemocritus: so it's no USB stick, but some player? might just be not compatible [23:54] Carbonflux: yeah i have that one [23:54] so when apt-get dist-upgrade is finished your at gutsy? [23:54] ah ok === ilsanto is now known as IlSanto [23:54] you're [23:54] hi all [23:54] stefg: but it's supposedly mass storage class [23:54] nautilus has stopped making thumbnails for my pictures, why is that? [23:54] stefg: and works on windows... [23:55] unop: no -- it only runs update-grub, which needs at least a basic one in place [23:55] how do i restore my sound after wine killed it [23:55] stefg, where do i mount my hd to_ [23:55] eduardo: 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] soundray, /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub.postinst calls update-grub which generates menu.lst (see the manpage) [23:55] Hey 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] stefg: i haven't taken a look at the udev logs though... thanks for the idea [23:55] suche was zum poppen [23:55] ijustam, 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. [23:56] mDemocritus: 'works on windows' means nothing [23:56] it might be easier just to use imagemagick to convert my jpg frames to gif then use gifsicle.. [23:56] stefg. 7.10 [23:56] Has anyone else noticed that dependencies are an issue with installing a given program in Ubuntu / Linux? [23:56] SeanInSeattle Haven't seen that so far. [23:56] stefg: lol i'm aware... but it should, since there's a standard for USB Mass Storage devices.... [23:56] SeanInSeattle, thats a good thing [23:57] Carbonflux: Why is that a good thing? === silverdawn_ is now known as Silverdawn [23:57] mDemocritus: so you're gonna say that it's a standards compliant device [23:57] because its better then downloading a app and having it just crash [23:57] stefg, im using ubuntu 7.10 [23:57] So Hardy Heron releases at the tail end of April, correct? [23:57] stefg: nah... but it says it is.... [23:57] So, anyone know hwo to get a module to stop loading at boot? [23:58] I mean, I resolved the issue with dependencies, but it was a 6 step process... argh. [23:58] stefg: any other ideas.... you think changing the drive caching might help? [23:58] Linux is fairly transparent about dependencies I like that. [23:58] eduardo: so open 'Computer' you should see your installed ubuntu partition. click on it and see if a window pops up showing the content [23:58] ugh, the imagemagick that comes in the repos is kinda lacking [23:58] Whats a good URL where I get get some Ubuntu shirts/glasses/stickers etc? (Not Jinx/thinkgeek) [23:58] could someone help me with PHP/running SH [23:58] raga 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] stefg, yes i can see the content now, but i dont know what to fix [23:58] mDemocritus: is taht ntfs formatted ? [23:58] morgen [23:58] Shai: add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [23:58] stefg: nope... FAT32 [23:58] stefg, i had troubles with gtk lib, but i reinstalled it, and it didnt work either [23:58] SeanInSeattle: 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] SeanInSeattle, thats linux tho, its not a 1:1 map with "user friendly" OS's regardless of the press, its the price you pay for control [23:59] Any 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] ya what soundray said [23:59] Hey 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] How do I get a new IP address from a dhcp server? Thanks! [23:59] Boohbah, I did, it still loads. Also blacklisted anything that was dependent on it. [23:59] eduardo: open a terminal, run 'sudo fdisk -l' and paste the result to !pastebin [23:59] !paste | eduardo [23:59] eduardo: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:59] stefg ok [23:59] could someone help with PHP running a SH file? [23:59] nottnott: Sure [23:59] nottnott, ask in #php [23:59] thanks
