[00:01] jaggy: i <3 the cli t oo [00:02] jaggy: okay so you just want it to run you scripts [00:02] hauk, depnds on how compiz dependent your theme is [00:02] binarical-app, yes, exactly [00:02] Pelo: I've ran it there. We'll see how it goes :) [00:02] jaggy: ummm so what kind of scripts do you want running [00:02] hauk, I don't know anyway to avoid it , just do it , and if/when you reinstall compiz your compiz settings should still be availalbe [00:02] php mainly [00:03] Pelo: Ah don't worry about it. It was more of a query than anything else. [00:03] jaggy: so youd basicly like to configure php to run one of your nicely written scripts? [00:03] does anybody ever get black windows in ubuntu?

[00:08] jaggy:http://www.computer-books.us/php.php [00:08] binarical-app, ty [00:08] Moppa, can you select a kernel from the grub menu ? maybe you need to have grub point to your newly created kernel image in order to boot from it [00:08] hi [00:09] Pelo: how do you mean? === ajmorris|AFK is now known as ajmorris [00:09] np jaggy [00:09] Pelo: nevermind... the first time I've opened it frozen but now works [00:10] is there a 64bit irc channel? [00:10] Pelo: thanx for your help := [00:10] :) [00:10] Moppa, mount your hdd from the live cd , , check in /boot/grub/menu.lst , find the entry for booting ubuntu, ( first one without comment # ) , then see whre that entry points, check to make sure that it does find the correct kernel on your hdd, do you get me ? [00:10] Gun_Smoke: this channel is for 32-bit and 64-bit [00:10] WildChil17, congrats, [00:10] i have a question, can somebody tell me how to copy a file with the terminal to a folder that can only be accesed with root-status ? i tested "sudo cp...." but it doesnt work [00:10] I think Ubuntu should drop Pidgin and use galaxium instead. :\ [00:10] LjL, wat did u say b4 (i finished my fone call) [00:11] Killer|, sudo cp source desitination [00:11] deniz__, not sure i remember === slackd001 is now known as slackd00d [00:11] Killer|, make sure you hvae the correct spelling , and remember that linux is case sensitive [00:11] LjL, it was on the topic of converting pdf to jpegs [00:11] LjL, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=743618 [00:12] Killer|, you also need to provide the full /path/nameoffile in the destinamtion portion [00:12] so I've been an Ubuntu user for almost 1.5 years now [00:12] deniz__: ah yes, install the "netpbm" package, and « pdftoppm filename.pdf | ppmtojpeg filename.jpeg » [00:12] Umm... I need help with my sound... I can't get it to work. [00:12] HorizonXP, time to change your nick then [00:12] dose any kno a free pc-landline phone software or sumthing? [00:12] how do i set ubuntu so that other users (my daughter and wife) can mount the windows partition (/dev/sda1 or /media/sda1) automatically? [00:12] lol [00:12] Pelo: XP is my initials :P [00:12] deniz__: and if you want to do that for all .pdf files in a directory, « for file in *.pdf ; do pdftoppm $file | ppmtojpeg >$(basename $file .pdf).jpeg » [00:12] I was wondering if people had any advice for getting my gf to switch to Ubuntu on her laptop [00:13] deniz__: (actually, i forgot a > before filename.jpeg in the first one) [00:13] xp: thats something that just has to be decided [00:13] HorizonXP: why do you care what OS she uses? [00:13] HorizonXP, did you get her to try it on your comp ? [00:13] Pelo: http://pastebin.com/m55f9614b what you asked for in menu.lst [00:13] she wants me to format it and reinstall WinXP on it when exams are done. Hardy Heron's out at the same time, so I thought it might be a good idea [00:13] xp: avoid hardy [00:13] Moppa, does this file exist on your hdd ? /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic [00:14] xp: especially for a noob like your girlfriend, she will hate you [00:14] Pelo: I have got her to try it, she likes it, says it looks cool, but is worried about things breaking (she sees me in the cmd line a lot, so yeah...) [00:14] is there a way to copy a Mac Install DVD in Linux? [00:14] Moppa, and this one /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic [00:14] binarical-app: what's wrong with Hardy? I'm using it now. and I'm waiting until it's released [00:14] how can i install pointers? [00:14] Pelo: Yes, it does [00:15] Pelo: k3b has facilities to make disk images [00:15] XP: well i gave it a run a run a while back. it was real nice at first then alot of bugs started popping up [00:15] HorizonXP, if she has room on her hdd, get her to dual boot or even you can try the webui thingy , from inside windows, that might get her use to it , [00:15] LjL, for first command: "« pdftoppm filename.pdf | ppmtojpeg a > filename.jpeg »"? [00:15] hatta, wrong person [00:15] Xp: besides if you wanna talk about hardy yourin the wrong room [00:15] Pelo: those are two very good ideas [00:15] hi losers [00:15] oh [00:15] deniz__: without the "a"... just ">" :) [00:15] Pelo: I think Wubi might be better, she might get 'scared' by the dual-booting [00:16] deniz__: and without the «quotes» for that matter [00:16] alguien del pais vasco [00:16] binarical-app: I'm not talking about hardy per se, just getting someone to switch to ubuntu. I think this room is perfect for that. [00:16] binarical-app: And Hardy's is coming along nicely [00:16] Moppa, then I suspect that you compiled the kernel wrong, or missed some step in there , and that is over my head, either clean install and try again or wait for someone who know s the fix , I think the first opiton is quicker , [00:17] ok [00:17] why would anyone want to build a kernel? [00:17] Moppa, just put your /home folder on a seperate partiton and you won'T loose any settings and data [00:17] already backing up data... [00:17] ok [00:17] ph_softnet, cause they think they have an improvement upon someone elses kernel? [00:17] Pelo: can that be arranged now from here_ [00:17] HorizonXP, you can also check out here laptop model in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport and in the forum to see if there are any isses, [00:17] ? [00:17] Pelo: so they can patch it [00:17] anyone know of a way to copy a Mac OSX install DVD from linux [00:17] from the terminal, how do I add a new user? (forgot log in) [00:17] evil_tech: try k3b, it can make disk images [00:17] ph_softnet, different users may wish to remove unneeded (or unwanted) kernel modules [00:18] bod_, so you must be talking about kernel developers [00:18] DariusTheoNoir, why remove them/ [00:18] ? [00:18] not necessarily [00:18] Pelo: you're full of awesome ideas. but I think hers is an Asus, which may be 'custom', so.... no idea which it'd be [00:18] ive tried brasero (im ingnome) k3b isnt going to make my sytem throw a fit is it? [00:18] well...from what I have heard, some users may wish to optimize their platforms for certain tasks [00:18] I dunno, it works well for me [00:18] kernels which are too bloated might be a cause for concern [00:19] Moppa, yes you can do that from the live cd, actualy its the only way you can do it , jsut resize your current ubuntu partiton to make as much room as you cna, then use the unallocated space to create a new ext3 partiton, the mount both partiton and copy the /home folder over , you cna the reinstall ubuntu on your original / partiton , [00:19] you can also just use cdrdao on the command line [00:19] ok, thx [00:19] Pelo, resizing partitions still require several defragmentation stages for the ntfs? [00:19] evil_tech: http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/ [00:19] that should get you started [00:20] optimize by rebuilding the kernel?they must really have a thorough knowledge of compiler scheduling and low level details ...cool.. [00:20] HorizonXP, I'm not all tah keen on the webui install myself, it's kind of a virtual/image of ubuntu, she realy won'T be able to upgrade from it and instlling ubuntu after ward probably wn'T let her migrate her settings [00:20] I dual-boot XPHomeSp2 and ubuntu [00:20] two ways [00:20] Pelo: yeah.. something to look into though :D [00:20] either clean install xp and resize...then follow Pelo's steps above [00:20] evil_tech: dd if=/dev/dvd of=~/mac.iso [00:20] DariusTheoNoir, I would defrag ntfs a few times before resizing it yes, it just makes the process quicker, less stuff to move aroun d [00:20] #compiz-fusion [00:20] or (risky) defrag existing xp install, resize and then follow Pelo's steps above [00:20] ok guys [00:20] i think i finally got ubuntu installed [00:20] LjL, is this: "for file in *.pdf ; do pdftoppm $file | ppmtojpeg >$(basename $file .pdf).jpeg" a command? [00:21] DariusTheoNoir: I do the same on my machine, but I'm debating whether dual-booting would be "scary" to my girlfriend or not [00:21] DariusTheoNoir, we are not taking about a dual boot instal we are talkinga bout reintalling ubuntu [00:21] deniz__: unless i've messed up something [00:21] Pelo, my mistake [00:21] yes that's a command [00:21] going to try using DD [00:21] evil_tech: dd if=/dev/dvd of=~/mac.iso [00:21] LjL, well ill test now, it just installed [00:22] deniz__: ah but yes, i've messed up something, because pdftoppm does output to stdout, but rather creates one ppm file for each page in the pdf [00:22] * Pelo is frighten of dd, some commands weren'T meant for human beings [00:22] greetings... how do i enable compiz with a custom graphics driver installed (not from repos) [00:22] Pelo: :D [00:22] if you don't like dd, you can use cat too [00:22] cat /dev/dvd > dvd.iso [00:22] Dual booting isn't scary...grub gives you options before you boot...so if its scary, just highlight whatever's under "other operating systems" (i.e. XP etc) and go [00:22] ehazlett, should be the same, just try menu > sytdem > prefs > apearance > last tab , [00:23] might be scary to set it up though [00:23] Pelo: when i do, it wants to install the driver from the repositories... [00:23] ehazlett, which driver ? [00:23] dose any one kno good free games? lol im looking for preety good ones === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [00:23] Pelo: ati [00:23] Pelo: i can't use the repositories because i have a latitude xt -- it needs a later driver to work... [00:23] Can anyone help me? [00:23] armory555, check in add/remove , frozen buttle is pretty addictive, and penguin planet racer gives me nasea [00:24] pelo ok ty! [00:24] ehazlett, you probably need xgl , I'm not sure which pakcage for ati tho try asking in #compiz they will know [00:24] how can i type Unicode characters like in windows when you use numlock and the alt key? [00:24] Pelo: when i first installed the driver, the effects worked. when i updated, it went back to no effects [00:24] From what I read in the forums, ATI doesn't play well with compiz [00:24] mazaf, I don't know anyone who figured it out yet [00:24] huzaa! I get to pester pelo again! [00:25] * Pelo runs away from katella [00:25] SerenadedAbyss: just post your question [00:25] http://pastebin.ca/970292 [00:25] katella, what's down this thim e? [00:25] deniz__: updated version: « for PDFfile in *.pdf; do pdftoppm $PDFfile out_$PDFfile ; for PPMfile in out_$PDFfile* do; ppmtojpeg $PPMfile >$(basename $PPMfile .ppm).jpeg; done; done » [00:25] please, gdm don't start'up [00:25] :-( [00:25] deniz__: or, use imagemagick anyway... but i really don't know the syntax for that [00:26] slipttees: you may need to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:26] slipttees, stuck in promtp mode ? sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, pick all the default options unless yo absolutely know better [00:26] Pelo: I'm trying to get my internal sound chip on my Athlon to run sound still. I know the codec/driver I need, but when I get to the "cd alsa-driver" it says no such file or directory [00:26] hum, ok ok i try [00:26] LjL, :'(....nothing is working [00:27] of course I did it without the thingy [00:27] #games [00:27] deniz__: "nothing is working" doesn't help, error messages help. [00:27] Does anyone know how to get sound working on a Toshiba Satellite A205? [00:27] katella, check in synaptic , do a search for alsa and see what packages come up , see if there is one that is appended with someting that looks like your driver name [00:27] !sound | SerenadedAbyss [00:27] SerenadedAbyss: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:28] LjL, i herd remote desktop is a thing like windows xp that allows others to control my comp [00:28] LjL, could u help me thru that? [00:28] Pelo: Synaptic? [00:28] how to add medibuntu repositories in 8.04? [00:28] * Pelo hopes noone ever finds out he's useless with hardware related issues [00:28] Pelo, who is? [00:28] deniz__: i doubt it, i've never used it, and you don't really want to let random people access your computer like that anyway. [00:28] er..thanks [00:28] katella, menu > system > admin > synaptic pakcage manager , if you are using gnome, adept if you are using kde [00:29] SerenadedAbyss, it's the best way to start with sound trouble shooting [00:29] the system just locked on me =( [00:29] CareBerry, what were you doing ? [00:30] LjL, can we start from the begining and can u put commands without quotes etc in its own message? [00:30] sigh, can't you strip the quotes?

[00:31] is there anyway to update from the terminal? [00:31] armory555, chck in your bios settings [00:31] i think the gui updater is locking me up [00:31] TIP: If you have the current everyman's platform (i.e. toshiba, dell, etc) then chances are someone has run into the problem before. I find the ubuntu forums EXTREMELY helpful. Almost all of my issues have been resolved within 10 minutes of searching through documentation [00:31] pelo ok ty [00:31] SerenadedAbyss: http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/11/26/fix-no-sound-for-ubuntu-in-toshiba-satellite-a205-s4707/ [00:31] armory555: look at the file /etc/console-tools/config [00:31] legend2440, I tried that and I get stuck. [00:32] Pelo: i think the BIOS setting is overridden by linux when it boots [00:32] SerenadedAbyss: yea it looks pretty complicated [00:32] pelo: snd-ac97-codec is the module for my sound chip, but nothing I try to do seems to properly load it so far [00:32] LjL, didn'T happen to me, adn I don'T think I had to specify numlock on anywhere in ubuntu, but it's been a while [00:33] katella, do you see it in lsmod ? [00:33] Pelo:Yay! more looking! [00:33] Would XFS not be good on older hardware for any reason? P2 400 MHz 384MB ram [00:33] Hi i finally got ubuntu installed but i think the updater is locking up my machine, is it possible to update from the terminal? [00:34] try : sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. [00:34] pelo: so. yet another new noob question. what's an ismod? [00:34] katella, type lsmod in a terminal [00:34] hy [00:34] pelo: I'll drive you insane soon after I take that short trip [00:35] LiSt MODules [00:35] CareBerry-> yes its possible from a terminal, however you can only have one synaptic running or the apt-get install running [00:35] katella, newer n00bs then you have tried and failed [00:35] hello... new here [00:35] Pelo: Was that ismod or Lsmod? [00:36] katella, lsmod as in LS , remember that linux is case sensitive [00:36] unop, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [00:36] hello knobcottage , ask and we will try to answer [00:36] binarical-app: hmm it said permissioned denied then asked if i was root, sudo doesn't give me root permissions? [00:36] pelo: I don't see it there [00:36] here goes newbie stuff [00:36] Pelo, I wonder if you can give me a hand helping a blind person setup wireless - i'm kinda stuck [00:36] lsmod is short for "list modules" -- correct? [00:36] I am new to ubuntu and decided to mess around with teh graphics and broke it [00:37] DariusTheoNoir: yes [00:37] knobcottage...you'll have to be more specific [00:37] pelo: trying to load the stuff for my soundcard and seeing if it shows in lsmod [00:37] katella, ok you'll need to load it using modprobe, but's I'm not all that familiar with it , I think it's sudo modprobe namehere, man modprobe for more info [00:37] unop-> where are you stucked? [00:37] many ways to mess around with graphics [00:37] I have an FL91 AND BASICALLY TRIED TO ENABLE THE SECOND MON ITOR [00:37] fglrx is one of them [00:38] oops caps [00:38] unop, forgive the pun but that would be the blind leading the blind, I don'T know much about wifi , in fact almost nothing [00:38] !wifi > unop this is the best I can do for you , check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [00:38] I made a script boot up when ubuntu boots with the update-rc.d command [00:38] amenado, it's not me, i'm helping another person out [00:38] !dualhead | knobcottage [00:38] knobcottage: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [00:38] how do I remove it now ? :P [00:39] messed it all up and it would not start with graphic gui unless I plugged in the second monitor [00:39] unop-> okay, but at what point are you guys stucked at? [00:39] yes now its none head [00:39] check your network-admin and configure settings there (if they show up) [00:39] pelo: sudo modprobe snd-ac97-codec to be exact. only I did that earlier and it still didn't make things work [00:39] Teoz, look for it in menu > system > prefs < session, or try in /home/username/.config/autostart or , look for it in the rc levels in /etc [00:40] unop, still explain where you're/they're stuck, that's your best bet imho [00:40] Hy is there a wy to mount zip files? i have some havily compressable files about 21000 in a 68 Mb zip file. extracted size is around 500 MB [00:40] Pelo: However, it is showing up in lsmod now [00:40] how can i mute my fucking beeper? [00:40] I am noticing a pattern---users tend to mess around with graphics and display and end up getting barred from their system UI [00:40] katella, try the sound now [00:40] hey, is there a guide to building a computer that will be 100% OSS compatible with Ubuntu? [00:40] !language | ahyuwhiye [00:40] ahyuwhiye: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:40] yeah I can get there but I believe I have a intel 935 card but it wont accept it I can only get a generic vesa monitor [00:40] ahyuwhiye, prefs > sounds [00:40] ahyuwhiye: one way is to blacklist the "pcspkr" module [00:40] Pelo, ok then I'll plunge into the rc levels [00:40] how? [00:40] Pelo: Going into sound preferences and clicking test, I get an error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing." [00:40] TIP: don't play with display and graphics unless you have a way to "back out" of all changes via terminal [00:40] HorizonXP, just build one with only intel chipsets [00:40] !blacklist | ahyuwhiye [00:40] ahyuwhiye: 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 » [00:41] Teoz, start witht the higher levels first [00:41] Pelo: That's what I thought... so Intel motherboard, Intel integrated, and I should be good? [00:41] good tip darius but to late [00:41] wow you can type fast [00:41] thank you [00:42] managed to get back to a generic 1280 x 800 panel but how do I get back to what I had? [00:42] how do i login as root? it didn't ask me to setup a root password when i installed. [00:42] HorizonXP, I have an asus p4p800 and I had absolutely no problems with any hardware related issues [00:42] CareBerry, use sudo [00:42] ahyuwhiye: the beep you hear is a result of a compiz setting that states "beep on ping" [00:42] Pelo so if I remove it from all my 7 rc files (I have rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d, rc3.d, etc), it should be a-okay? [00:42] shouldn't have to log in as root [00:42] When I insert a DVD video, the icon shows up on the desktop, but there's no way to actually PLAY it. The only option when double- or right-clicking it is "Open" which just opens it in Nautilus. I have to manually start vlc (because it doesn't create a menu item for it) and load the disc manually. Anyone know why? Happens with all DVDs. [00:42] Teoz, from init.d to I tink but I am not sure, the stuff in the rc level are just symlinks [00:42] gksudo if you want to work through GUI application (i.e. nautilius, gedit, etc) [00:43] !who [00:43] 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 :) [00:43] katella, what sound card is this ? [00:43] so gksudo? I need gui but how from there? [00:43] !dvd > Creationist check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [00:43] creationist check you volume management for gnome [00:44] Creationist: sounds like you need something akin to "open with" [00:44] Pelo: That has nothing to do with my question. [00:44] under setting somewhere sorry i have xfce [00:44] DariusTheoNoir: Right... but it's not there. [00:44] settings in nautilus [00:44] Pelo: Built in Realtek 850 7.1channel AC'97 audio codec [00:44] pelo: on a 939Dual-SATA2 mboard [00:44] Pelo, weirdly enough, rc0.d and so on are empty :S [00:44] creationist what about system preferred apps? [00:44] katella, did it work at any point before ? [00:44] knobcottage: That only asks about mail and internet browser. [00:45] Creationist: you don't have the option through rightclick>"open with" ? [00:45] Pelo, but I saw the command update-rc.d write stuff to these files [00:45] interesting [00:45] DariusTheoNoir: No. [00:45] no go to multimedia tab [00:45] ah...yes, that's another way [00:45] DariusTheoNoir: "Open" and "Browse Folder" ... both have the same effect. [00:45] no its not there [00:45] knobcottage: Not there. [00:45] Pelo: Very VERY wierdly, my sound works when I play World of Warcraft in Wine. However, no other time, even when ubuntu is loaded straight from the disk, has sound worked [00:45] in preferred applications under gnome only have 2 things, internet and mail i think [00:45] ..it is on mine? [00:45] DariusTheoNoir: when i do a sudo apt-get update it says 'E : Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (13 permission denied).. E: Uable to lock the admin directory /var/lib/dpkg, are you root?'.... so im not sure whats going on [00:45] Creationist: system>preferences>removeable drives>multimedia point it to program like vlc [00:45] Teoz, it's a bit over my head at this point, I just gave you a few places wehre I would look for a solution, you can try the manpage for the command it might tell you where stuff is stored and how to remove [00:46] creationaist the option you need is volume manager [00:46] i dont know he command off head [00:46] Hy is there a wy to mount zip files? i have some havily compressable files about 21000 in a 68 Mb zip file. extracted size is around 500 MB... any idea on how to do that? [00:46] Pelo, can I just edit the scrip that boots up and just clear all commands in it so that when ubunt starts up, it executes nothing (since I just emptied the file) [00:46] CareBerry...did you put in your system password? [00:46] Pelo, ok thx :) [00:46] katella, have a look in here for the soundcard or the mobo model https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [00:46] system>preferred apps>then click the multimedia tab [00:46] DariusTheoNoir: it asked me for my password previously yes and i typed in the password i login with [00:46] Teoz, sure [00:47] Pelo, kcool thanks! [00:47] Creationist: system>preferences>removeable drives>multimedia point it to program like vlc [00:47] Whenever I try to print through Ubuntu from Mac OS X (haven't tested Windows XP), it keeps pausing the job. I enabled everything necessary. What could be wrong? [00:47] interesting [00:47] katella, you did check the user permission right ? [00:47] legend2440: Found it... yep. Thanks. Not sure why it wasn't enabled by default. [00:47] Pelo: Yes [00:48] still nay help with the laptop monitor thing [00:48] pelo: Looks like they may be another driver for me to load. trying that [00:48] katella, here is what is goig on , wine redirects to the hardware in ubuntu , so if sounds works form there it should work elsewhere [00:48] knobcottage: whats the problem? [00:48] DariusTheoNoir: anything i should try next? [00:48] CareBerry, that's not an issue I have stumbled on [00:49] so I am a bit stumped without additional information [00:49] spiderfire basically I messed it up and now managed only to get a generic 1280x800 panel [00:49] ubuntu can't find any monitor or panel by itself [00:49] Well... I would like to know if you can "sudo" anything [00:50] Pelo: Makes sense in theory. Tried that new one, didn't work any better [00:50] Pelo: Found the sound card there [00:50] katella, try doing a forum search for the error msg you get , www.ubuntuforums.org [00:50] Okay, so I now can autoplay DVDs, but VCD's don't work and even DVDs still offer no useful options in the right-click menu. [00:50] DariusTheoNoir: well i reset the root password and running it like that [00:50] CareBerry: as a test try clicking on synaptic and put in your password [00:50] good morning [00:51] see if it works (although you just said that synaptic is locking up your machine...nevermind) [00:51] AlexHoover: did the printing problems start today? There was a CUPS update today. [00:51] DariusTheoNoir: yea odd [00:51] CareBerry...if you are comfortable doing that [00:52] Pelo: Now i have reallocated my diskspace. how do i get my /home/ to the new partition [00:52] let me try on my system [00:52] Moppa: You need to modify your /etc/fstab and then move the /home/ to the new partition. Kind of complicated :) [00:52] ok.. now I am going to do the same and use a bogus pass [00:53] Moppa,try opening nautilus with root priviledges taht will be the simplest , youcan then drag drop from tehre gksu nautilus , [00:53] careberry: could try giving you terminal sudo -s and entering your pwd , then try doing what ever you wanted to do. Ive been having a similar prob myself where its consistently asking me for my root privileges [00:53] BarryToeman, no [00:53] ...any help for my monitor? [00:53] Moppa-> you have to copy from old location to new location [00:53] Pelo: ok. but first format the new partition as ext3 right_ [00:53] how would i do search for *.so file in a directory(say /etc/php5)? [00:53] Moppa, you'll need to use manual partitionning when you do the install so you can point to your /home on the new partiton [00:53] Moppa, yes [00:53] Pelo: Doing that will break his system... he needs to tell the system WHERE the new /home/ is going to be located and then mount it there. [00:54] Moppa: Oh, I didn't realize he was talking about during an install. My mistake. [00:54] Creationist, he's reinstalling we are saving his /home so he doesn'T loose anytihng [00:54] exactly >) [00:55] ...and my monitor??? [00:55] hi [00:55] sorry knobcottage... [00:55] Moppa, you'll still need to reinstall any extra apps you installed before and do any hardware config you needed to do [00:55] * Creationist shuts up and goes in the corner to hold his breath forever. [00:55] cheers! [00:55] ryanakca ls /etc/php5/*so [00:55] AlexHoover: my HP printer does the same thing sometimes, but I haven't debugged it yet...so I'm effectively useless. [00:55] knobcottage, did you try the dualhead info I gave you ? [00:55] ryanzec, find?? find /etc/php5 -iname "*.so" [00:55] repost a short synopsis of your issue and I will research it [00:55] !dualhead | knobcottage [00:55] knobcottage: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [00:55] * nikrud gives Creationist a cookie [00:55] nikrud: mistab... [00:55] BarryToeman, hmm. It's an HP PSC 2350. [00:55] * Creationist eats it. :) [00:55] It does it 100% of the time. [00:55] No because I do not think that was the problem [00:55] nikrud, may i say good afternoon,or evening,heheh [00:55] ryanakca sure was, ryanzec [00:56] Pelo: Okay. [00:56] icesword afternoon ;) [00:56] * Pelo waves hello to nikrud [00:56] * nikrud waves back. checks his watch [00:56] I am trying to get my laptop screen going properly like it did before I mucked it up [00:56] my graphics are really choppy, i guess installing nvidia driver would be next? [00:57] knobcottage, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , probably [00:57] OKay, since there's no solution to the context menu issue, how about this one: Every time I burn an audio CD either with Serpentine or K3b, it only plays in certain CD players. Any way to make it more compatible? It isn't the drive or media, because burning in Windows works fine. [00:58] Creationist, does serpentine burn directly to the cd or make a iso you burn afterward ? [00:58] heya folks [00:58] is it a good time to go 64-bit yet? [00:58] last time i checked there were a *lot* of incompatibilities [00:58] flash was the biggest complaint i heard, but i heard lots of others as well [00:58] Pelo: What command would I use to remove ~/.asoundrc*.? [00:59] srbaker, wait for hardy to be released [00:59] Pelo: well, i'm installing hardy beta. is flash 64-bit yet? [00:59] aha but reconfigure to what? when I dig in teh graphics thing and tell ubuntu to find my tft it says there is not one? [00:59] or does hardy just deal with it better? [00:59] katella, sudo rm ~/.asoundrc [00:59] katella, sudo rm -rf ~/.asoundrc [00:59] CareBerry, I suppose you can enable proprietary drivers in software sources under system >administration - I had a netgear card that didn't work without enabling restricted (or something of the sort) [00:59] srbaker, I donT' think there is a flash 64 bit yet [00:59] pelo: apparently that helped someone with the same error [00:59] suck [00:59] knobcottage where would you be telling it to look for the tft? I don't remember a section that talks about monitors, except the resolutions [00:59] oh well [00:59] thanks [01:00] Quick question. I've got ubuntu live cd, and I want to know how to install ndiswarpper.deb from the cd once I get onto ubun. [01:00] pelo: but apparently not me [01:00] Pelo: Directly to disc. [01:00] but that may be bad advice for some...and sometimes these changes require your install disk [01:00] katella, reboot, the settings are still loaded [01:00] nikrud I go to graphics and somewhere there I tell it to find and it says it cant [01:00] pelo: brb! [01:01] knobcottage, I was looking at some documentation on dual-head with ubuntu/linux/etc....looks risky to me [01:01] Creationist, check in the settings in serpentine , look for the option to finalize the cd or something , make sure it is enable if it exist [01:01] knobcottage ah, driver? It's looking for your video chip type, not the screen type. Like nvidia, fglrx (for ati) that kind of thing I expect [01:01] Pelo: It is. [01:01] Creationist, burn at low speed then like 1x or 4x , that might also be an isse with older players [01:01] I 'll forget dual head, just need the tft recognised [01:02] Pelo: I think I've tried that, but I'll try it again. [01:02] Has anyone else had trouble getting 8.04 (beta) recognize their keyboard? I have 3 keyboards which I have tried in different combinations & ports but the only thing I've ever been able to do with them is (sometimes) ctrl+alt+del to reboot from the install menu (I can't select install, arrow keys & enter do nothing). [01:02] Creationist, those are my only guess, you might wnat to look the problem up in the forum if that doesn't work [01:02] system >admin>screens and graphics>pusha button and get to detect...thenit says I have no tft or monitor [01:02] knobcottage I think what we have here is a failure to communicate. You're talking about the primary monitor, right? Like a laptop, maybe? [01:02] DaCapn_, ask in #ubuntu+1 [01:02] Communism is fail. [01:02] Pelo thanks [01:02] Pelo: Thanks. [01:03] how can i shrink my active ubuntu partition? [01:03] AVBot, communism didn'T fail, it just got highjacked by totalitarism [01:03] Communism is fail. [01:03] is there a way to bind the sideways scroll buttons on a mouse? [01:03] nixnoob, you can'T , you need to boot the live cd to do it [01:03] nikru you are right. I tried to (windows talk) extend the dt onto a seecond monitor and then the screen blacked out [01:03] Pelo, thanks.

You should return to there and move forward [01:04] katella, hmmm [01:04] AVBot: Please disable your scripts. [01:04] ok, it's been years since i've done this... so i've forgotten how and google is not being very nice... how do i start a second X-session on F8 again? i remember it has something to do with ':01' appended or somesuch... [01:04] katella, I give up , sorry [01:04] !guidelines > AVBot (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [01:04] what i'm trying to do is get a full X over ssh on F8 [01:04] katella, are you using a restricted driver or something ? [01:05] Pelo: Might be time for me to get a cheap sound card [01:05] Hi [01:05] im leaving now, and private messages dont work for me on this thing [01:05] thanks for the help [01:05] Pelo: I downloaded the damned driver FOR linux and it didn't work [01:05] any ideas on when the gpu offload will be available in linux? [01:05] Knobcottage, put that line on a sticky and be sure you have it ready before you go playing around with fglrx and dual-head stuff ;) [01:05] katella, no I mean for your video card or someting ? [01:05] so doing all that sudo stuf will get all working as it did on teh original install and not go wrong? [01:05] Pelo: um. sec [01:06] hello.. what makes heron better to gutsy? Is it also a good version for server? [01:06] well...knobcottage, test it and see. [01:06] knobcottage yup. After that you can repeat the fglrx setup if you like, but doing the -pcritical will return you to default [01:06] Pelo: I'll bite. how do i check? 8) [01:06] Any way to make ubuntu a bit snappier/faster without having to upgrade hardware? [01:06] pelo: yes, yes I am [01:06] rhineheart_m, canonical releases new versions of *ubuntu every 6 months, with newer versions of programs and general fixes and stuff, [01:06] wow...and do I have to reboot or just re login? [01:07] katella, are you using kde ? [01:07] gutsy is better...because its not beta ;) [01:07] how long LTS will be supported/ [01:07] knobcottage gotta go, but will be back in not long. And a quick re login will do it [01:07] I have a separate machine for experimental installs [01:07] pelo: using gutsy and gnome and a restricted nvidia graphics driver [01:07] rhineheart_m 3 years on the desktop, 5 on the server [01:08] katella, nvm , I give up for real, go for the 10$ sound card [01:08] maybe you talk to me later or I go to bed with a broken laptop:P [01:08] knobcottage I'll stick around for a login :) [01:08] Pelo: okie day! afk to see if I have an extra sound card somewhere [01:08] pelo: like in a box in my basement or something [01:08] cheers I f I not come back I'm broken:-D [01:08] knobcottage as long as it's only a few minutes, otherwise look for me in about an hour or so [01:09] katella, best of luck , I went and gave all my extra hardware to a local computer refurbisher thing, [01:09] * Pelo actualy wonders why those guys donT' install linux on their boxes [01:09] poll: anyone here successfully using compiz on an integrated chipset? [01:09] I was a long time KDE user and have gone to Gnome running Ubuntu Gutsy (from Kubuntu). I loved Amarok. Which GTK-based music players should I investigate?

[01:11] rootpt, ask in #xchat [01:12] or is linus not up to the hi def stuff yet [01:12] linux [01:12] Pelo, no one aswner [01:12] jordo2323_, I recommend you take a look in add/remove , there are quite a few audo players in there, bmp , xmms , etc try them all , no extra charge [01:12] Pelo: That worked ok.

[01:19] but don't do beta [01:19] legend2440, yes. i did that [01:20] (sorry -- my opinion) [01:20] so that should start videos in full screen for you [01:20] Poenike: Are you using the 64bit version install cd? [01:20] unless you are feeling adventurous [01:20] hey [01:20] Darius:640MB video card... it creates worm holes =P [01:20] rootpt: you have to restart xchat for settings to take effect [01:20] Hauk: yes It says X64 on the file I downloaded [01:20] as well as amd [01:20] hatta: i still cant get the full screen working [01:20] well...wormholes are nice...but make sure they are wormholes to paradise, and not kernel panic [01:20] hm [01:20] Moppa, ok no you can re-install, btw your / won't realy need to be more the 10 gig you can leave the rest to /home , you reinstall, when you get to the partitonning part, use manual partitionning, you won't need to do anyomre partitionhinng but in the next step you will have to tell the installer what partition to use for / for /swap and for /home [01:21] yo === Joeb454 is now known as ajmorr1s [01:21] hatta: do u have mplayer installed there? [01:21] hot hardware often gets people installing the hottest things...which aren't always stable [01:21] yes [01:21] legend2440, yes i did [01:21] but nothing.. [01:21] Poenike: Okay, I've no idea =/ Try the Ubuntu forums. Do some searching for "black screen during installation" or something like that. The Ubuntu forusm is full of solutions. [01:21] hatta: can you play your movie in full screen? === ajmorr1s is now known as Joeb454 [01:21] has anyone installed php 5.3 on ubuntu 7.10? [01:21] oh... [01:21] black screen---I know this one! [01:21] ok ill try =/, I want to get the hell out of vista if you know what I mean lol [01:21] hauk, compiz is now standard in gutsy , but hardy uses gnome 2.24 which has some compoziting in it , that is what I was interested in , === Joeb454 is now known as bodhi_zazen_ [01:22] press Alt and F1 simultaneously....I had that problem when I installed gutsy [01:22] theheron rules [01:22] Pelo: okay. so before reinstalling now i resize the / partition to 10 gb. Or shall i do that afterwards? [01:22] rootpt: as a matter of fact you may have make change with xchat shut down because settings sometimes revert back for some reason [01:22] Poenike, we know wht you mean , vista is hell [01:22] Pelo: ah ok. I'm in Gutsy atm. I'm looking forward to Hardy though :) [01:22] kelvin911: yes I can [01:22] hatta: which format? [01:22] hatta: avi? === bodhi_zazen_ is now known as Joeb454 [01:22] yes, xvid avi [01:22] and anything else I want [01:22] hatta: did u install w32codec/ [01:22] for some reason, my screen would go blank after grub and it took 5 minutes to boot up [01:22] try pressing 'f' [01:22] yes [01:23] hatta: how come i cant play some avi movie? [01:23] only VLC plays them all [01:23] Can anyone else help? Its a black screen that doesnt move right after I press "install or try ubuntu" [01:23] Moppa, you can do it now , it's just a suggestion, anything from 5-10 gig is fine for / , and you donT' actualy need to resize you can just delete , since you don'T be using anyting on it and your /home is now safe on the new partiton [01:23] when I boot from cd [01:23] but the problem is VLC cant play rm, rmvb [01:23] Poenike, what video card ? [01:23] how to make VLC play realplayer? [01:23] rootpt: there is asetting called gui_throttlemeter also so that may be the one to change [01:23] I haven't tried that [01:23] Poenike ... hit f6 and then change quiet splash to nosplash [01:24] right.... [01:24] ill try that redeye [01:24] Pelo: but will that not be a waste of space then? isn\t it better to use as much as posible for /home/? [01:24] f6...I used f1...whatever works [01:24] and its a 8800gts640mb [01:24] brb going to try that. [01:24] Any way to make ubuntu a bit snappier/faster without having to upgrade hardware? [01:24] Moppa, yes it is , you can then move and resize your /home === jsoftw_ is now known as jsoftw [01:25] js whats your system specks [01:25] which driver u use in preference in mplayer? [01:25] jsoftw, hack the kernel? (joking) [01:25] 2.8 mhz, 1.5G ram [01:25] Pelo: okay, after install or before >), don't want to screw things up now >P [01:25] ghz even [01:25] Moppa, 4 gig for / is pretty much a minimum, that is assuming you donT' install much or any extra apps from the default , [01:25] Moppa, before, [01:25] jsoftw: thats a reasonable system [01:25] Pelo: Ah found out why it was running at 100%. Wineserver. [01:25] hauk, ouch [01:25] Yeah I find ubuntu does not multitask very well [01:25] Moppa, lets review if you don'T mind [01:26] Pelo: Yeah, killed it and it instantly dropped to 15% [01:26] jsoftw, what exactly do you try to multitask? [01:26] any ideas on how to start a full X session over ssh on another tty? (startx -- :1, for example, but over ssh) [01:26] Just normal desktop stuff [01:26] hauk, what were you running on wine ? [01:26] rootpt: here is a page that explains the settings http://xchat-win32.berlios.de/setvars.html [01:26] legend2440, nothing man [01:26] ok [01:26] hatta: http://img370.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdh4.png Am I picking the right one?? [01:26] Why do PDF's print so poorly? Can that be changed? [01:26] Pelo: I was messing with it earlier and I had IE running in it(I'm only messing with wine atm), and I don't think it exited. [01:26] jsoftw, my recommendations on that would be fit for another forum. [01:27] bhsx, you can see the remote terminal from where you are sitting, and dont want to reach for its keyboard or what? [01:27] ubuntu doesn't seem to cause much difficulty for me with multitasking... [01:27] Pelo: okay, when the copy is finished i'll move and resize my /home partition and make a 10 gb partition for /. During install manually tell the installationprogram which partition is wich *but dont format /home* >) [01:28] Meh [01:28] Moppa, before installing , you will pre - partition you hdd, about 4-10 gig for / in ext3, 2xram ( max 2gig ) for swap and the rest for /home in ext3, once that is done , you can star the installer, nce you get to the where to intall bit , select manual partitionning , whre you will be able to tell the installer where each of your paertitons are [01:28] but then again...you might give me more specifics. Enter "top" into the terminal and see what might be hogging resources [01:28] Moppa, exactly [01:28] Dr_willis: my daughter is using the desktop [01:28] i want to use it for bittorrent and some other stuff while she's using it [01:28] Pelo: Thanks >) [01:28] i'm on my laptop with wireless and a smaller disk [01:28] kelvin911: you should try xv [01:28] Why do PDF's print so poorly? Can their quality be increased? [01:28] and dont want to use BT on the laptop [01:28] Moppa, you'll find the install will be much quicker since there will be less hdd to format , and from now on when you screw things up badly you can reinstall without fear of loosing your data and settings [01:29] Moppa, best of luck [01:29] that enables somes scaling, that could be your problem [01:29] bhsx, you can ssh -X remotemachine and run an app - it will appear locally. [01:29] Stepal, I have noticed this as well... [01:29] Dr_willis: gee thanks..... [01:29] bhsx, or install vncserver, and have a remote desktop in a window on your current desktopp easially enough. [01:29] let me repeat... [01:29] But I've been too lazy to find the source of the problem [01:29] Pelo: Thank you very much, appreciated [01:29] any ideas on how to start a full X session over ssh on another tty? (startx -- :1, for example, but over ssh) [01:29] hatta: what about the check box like double buffering, direct rendering , etc?? [01:29] DariusTheoNoir: do you know a solution? [01:29] * Pelo will laugh at nikro when he comes back , timed out , how lame [01:29] hatta: do i just leave it alone? [01:29] i KNOW how to forward X [01:29] Moppa, best of luck [01:29] bhsx, that SOUNDS like you want a 2nd desktop to appear on HEr machine.. that will interfear with her using it... [01:30] I wish I did...but I keep getting caught up in whatever document I load to test it [01:30] bhsx, so what you are stating is not making sence to me. [01:30] i'm asking how to forward a FULL xsession to a second TTY on my laptop [01:30] i.e. I start reading [01:30] bhsx, a full x session - use xdmcp. [01:30] that should be ok [01:30] I need to find some boring pdf files to test ... or I am never getting anything done [01:30] I don't think you need to change anything there [01:30] yes, now how do i send that to -- :1? [01:30] try different readers I suppose [01:30] DariusTheoNoir, look for lorem ipsum nothing readable in tehre [01:31] hatta: thanks !!! [01:31] perhaps it is a font issue? [01:31] hatta: now i can full screen [01:31] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu Studio 8.04 beta on my comp, but it keeps freezing after displaying "Checking file systems" and going through the file systems. Is there a way to skip the checks? [01:31] kelvin911: glad I could help [01:31] NW2190, for hardy stuff ask in #ubuntu+1 [01:31] k [01:31] !Hardy | NW2190 [01:31] NW2190: 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 [01:32] DariusTheoNoir: Yea, i guess getting a better PDF reader is what to do, i think when it prints, it treats the PDFs as pictures and just reduces their resolution [01:32] bhsx, as a quick way to do somthing similer to that. Ive spawned a minimal X session on the local box, then in a single terminal, ssh -X remote, then run the window manager. [01:32] hatta: but still some avi cant play [01:32] hatta: but they can be played by VLC but not mplayer [01:33] Dr_willis: not as smooth as I'd like, but that'll work... i'm looking for a more elegant solution [01:33] I think the default pdf reader is evince [01:33] but try the bug fix that uses bitmapped fonts [01:33] DariusTheoNoir, it is but you can intall adobe acroread from the backport repos I think [01:33] I googled it and found loads of documentation on poor pdf quality in feisty [01:34] hatta: for example mkv file only played by VLC only [01:34] oh...that's probably the solution then--what Pelo is recommending [01:34] bhsx, enable XDMCP on the desktop. the KDM/GDM login screen have a 'start remote session' feature [01:34] hatta: not mplayer [01:34] DariusTheoNoir: i wonder if its just a fiesty issue [01:34] DariusTheoNoir, are you on a laptop or with a lcd monitor ? === l1nuxfan3545 is now known as cbk584 [01:34] bhsx, but enabling tha will require you to restart X on her machine. [01:34] Pelo, yes [01:34] Dr_willis: yeah i'm very familiar with xdmcp from using LTSP for years [01:34] and that's right...that could be another issue altogether [01:34] DariusTheoNoir, to in the font manager in appearance and enable subpixel hinting , that shoudl help a bit [01:34] I don't have any mkv files [01:35] thanks pelo [01:35] bhsx, i keep my torrent client going inside a vncsedksop on my remote machine. that way it stays running [01:35] hey, will virtual box run on x64 ubuntu? [01:35] does linux only live because it can reap the rewards of the commercial windows? [01:35] wow....that just made my whole system look better [01:35] Joeb454, ask in #vbox [01:35] DariusTheoNoir: it seems that evice has 52 listed bugs [01:35] yeah, i probably should setup to use vnc that way [01:35] thanks Pelo [01:36] DariusTheoNoir, you just had to ask the right question [01:36] that's how i used to set my LTSP servers for windows access [01:36] yeah...try reading through their documentation/bugfixes [01:36] I don't know... [01:36] roffe__, i would think windows is reaping the rewards of the work of linux. But thats for offtopic chat. [01:36] Just a random question: which usually runs faster, if there is a difference at all? A .deb package or something compiled from source? [01:36] * Pelo hates having to read 2 hrs of quesitons and issues to figure out what the actual problem is [01:36] I've just downloaded a swf file. I've already got flashplugin-nonfree installed. Can I play the swf file on my desktop with that package somehow? [01:36] for now I am not going to mess with my beloved reader, being that I read about 99% of the time I am on this thing [01:36] ZeroWing, i doubt if there would be a diff. [01:37] DariusTheoNoir, did it help in evince as well ? [01:37] No difference? Meh, oh well. That's all I wanted to know. [01:37] Thanks. [01:37] levander, i just drag/drop/load them into the briowser [01:37] *reading [01:37] so when is ubuntu 8.04 due? [01:37] does anyone know if logitech harmony remotes can be supported in ubuntu? [01:37] dr_willis: Well it just crossed me and I wanted to discuss it.. I like linux a lot, but it felt so obvious somehow.. where's off-topic then? [01:37] actually... isn't there an LTSP package for ubuntu? [01:37] DariusTheoNoir, I think you can also read pdf in OOo but I 'm not sure [01:37] that'll probably setup everything i want automatically [01:37] Dr_willis: it's working thanks. [01:37] !ot | roffe__ [01:37] roffe__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:37] bhsx: if you want to get into the nitty gritty, you could set up the server normally then create a user that isnot admin, that way you can have x running on a user that isnt shown to the server ports. [01:37] yeah... [01:38] its an improvement [01:38] c3rb3rus5, check models in the forum [01:38] levander, it is? great... err.. what was the problem? i forget.. [01:38] !ot [01:38] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[01:38] Pelo: thanks [01:38] Dr_willis: I just didn't know a quick way to open the file. [01:38] Im back again... who was asking about the GIMP and PDFS [01:38] as long as some signal gets through the noise [01:38] thaks! [01:38] knobcottage, probabaly DariusTheoNoir [01:39] join [01:39] bhsx: having x run on a server, or machine whos ports are directly forwarded causes security risks, and blats the machine [01:39] !test [01:39] levander, ive seen some disrtos include some stand alone flash player. but ive no idea where it came from. (mandriva had one I think) [01:39] Failed. [01:39] Actually, it was someone else...

[01:39] freenode join eglug [01:40] no...someone else :) [01:40] knobcottage, i asked that [01:40] DariusTheoNoir, I don't think I grasp how bad your pdf could possibly look , I mean if you can read your screen pdf should be decent enough unless they're all scans and not actual text [01:40] bhsx: the way i see it is you would like to have a torrent running in the back ground of a spare machine that your family can use [01:40] deniz do you know the answer...I do [01:40] well...I am reading axiom documentation right now [01:40] and it's fine [01:40] but at one point it was horrible [01:40] binarical-app: yes, that's a goal, but i want it for more than that [01:40] knobcottage, well it says select all and i click import but it only loads first page [01:40] I can't remember when, and to be honest, I am too busy reading about domain constructors for axiom === cbk584 is now known as cbk352 [01:41] no llok at the top of the screen in gimp it impoorts all but in layers [01:41] basically, any network-intensive apps i'd like running on wired, not wireless [01:41] !ubotu [01:41] 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 [01:41] you have to change layers to see the other pages [01:41] [sorry about this by the way] [01:41] ...at least in mine... [01:41] but I believe the quality was enhanced somewhat just by enabling the "for LCD" in fonts [01:41] hey guys i bought the nintendo ds and looking for a card, where i can copy games into it, so that i dont need to buy games [01:41] JPRuskin, we do not forgive , we make notes [01:42] binarical-app: my real hang-up right now is getting the X to forward to my second tty (:1) [01:42] knobcottage, i look at top of screen were? and do wat exactly? [01:42] Hi, I got a problem with my Nvidia graphics card [01:42] rather than starting X in :1, switching to it, and running gnome-session [01:42] Pelo: hurk [01:42] Joeb454: i assume virtualbox works on x64 since they have it available for download here https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewFilteredProducts-SingleVariationTypeFilter;pgid=01RgaHqkAdxSR0EUQncsoQ3D0000mL5466QZ;sid=5u_bTuDLhHLbTac-ngqTSw9sYtJAJC2Osw0Uj_3VGL20Wg== [01:42] I am running the 8.04 pre-release, however I have had this problem when I was in 7.10 [01:42] I want to install Hardy Beta on a Macbook pro [01:42] in teh title bar of the image you see you should see layer 1 0f 10 if you took in ten pages [01:42] oh ok thanks legend2440 [01:42] (CoreDuo2) [01:42] but i dont know/cant find an elegant solution to that [01:43] my Nvidia graphics driver fails to enable. It will enable and require a restart [01:43] should I install the i386 version, or something else? [01:43] but then Ubuntu starts in low graphics mode [01:43] I have a hard drive with all my music on it, I want to put it in an encolsure so I can transfer it to my laptop via USB, its formatted reiserFS, will that filestsem work through a USB adapter? or am I screwed? [01:43] I can test my resolution perfectly, by selecting my monitor (Pavilion M40 laptop display) [01:43] but starting up after that forces me into 800x600 [01:43] xif, i386 will work for you [01:43] and there's no Screens and Monitors option [01:43] how do you port scan an ip on linux? [01:43] !enter | chicobo329 [01:43] chicobo329: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:43] Pelo: yeah, but maybe I would get better results with one of the 64 bit ones? [01:44] xxxx443354: look for nmap in the repositories [01:44] my bad [01:44] I'm having trouble with audacity. Audacity has always worked but today, audacity seems to be running jack and trying to connect that way. I can't get sound in or out! How do I make audacity not use jack, but just alsa? [01:44] chicobo329, you can add extra resolutions you need by editing the xorg.conf file [01:44] ...then go to the layers menu and pick which one you want [01:44] lemme fiddle with that and see what happens [01:45] I am noticing a pattern---users tend to mess around with graphics and display and end up getting barred from their system UI [01:45] Audacity says this many times with jack: Expression 'AlsaOpen( hostApi, parameters, streamDir, &pcm )' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 1066 [01:45] but then again...the temptation is just too great. [01:45] layer>stack>select previous or got top etc [01:45] Everything is very slow in audacity, I can't get sound to record. [01:45] xif, amd64 lacks driver support for some nvidia and ati cards, and also has no flash and other tidbits like that , we generaly tell ppl to run i386 unless they have actual need for 64bit computing [01:45] anyone knows if I should try installing the AMD64 distro on a CoreDuo2 MacbookPro? [01:45] Pelo: OK, cool :) [01:45] xif: yes that is the only way to do it [01:45] fscking flash [01:46] I freaking hate it, but its necessary. [01:46] xif, I'm told there are work around slike intalling 32 bit Firefox on the 64 bit os but that's a bit over my head [01:46] see what i mean Deniz_ [01:47] Pelo: yeah, but they're too much hassle [01:47] ...working for you deniz? [01:47] * Pelo generaly keeps his head down, do a lot of stuff goes over his head [01:47] and eventually, you don't get the best Flash player. [01:48] hey all [01:48] if I get Beta now, will I be able to upgrade to Hardy Stable later? [01:48] yes [01:48] i just installed my first ubuntu [01:48] Survivorman: cool [01:48] knobcottage, i c 13 layers but wen i save it its still 1 image [01:48] merlin__: yay!

[01:50] thanks [01:50] binarical-app: really? I talked to someone who installed Hardy beta on the same MBP (Santa Rosa) and reported no issues. [01:50] yes [01:50] NativeAngels: sudo apt-get install tcl8.4 [01:50] knobcottage, u there? [01:51] yes still here [01:51] knobcottage, so how do i save them as 13 diff .jpgs? [01:52] hangon I'll just try [01:52] I checked my xorg.conf file and it has the monitor and resolutions I tried to define and tested properly when given the option to check my monitor type when in low graphics mode at bootup. Is there anything else I should do to the xorg.conf? [01:52] does anyone kno whow to make a partition created in linux accessible in windows? [01:52] * Pelo hasn't spend this much time in the channel for a long time [01:52] knobcottage, k [01:52] knobcottage, i use feisty btw [01:52] specifically, fat32 partitions created in linux [01:52] chicobo329, no , just save and restart X [01:53] I'm gutsy myself [01:53] anybody know of a way to disable jack in audacity? [01:53] mrgenixus, it should be accessible straight off [01:53] I can't get audacity to just use normal alsa [01:53] you need to save each layer separately [01:53] nice to have you here anyway, Pelo [01:53] it saves the layer you are looking at [01:53] Eleaf, I think there is an #audacity you might try askign in ther e [01:53] mrgenixus, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/33848-linuxfs-windows.html [01:53] JPRuskin, wut % [01:54] ?

[01:54] hey, I'm running an IBM ThinkPad laptop and when I first installed 7.10, the vol up/down/mute buttons worked fine but then spontaneously, they stopped working, any ideas? [01:54] Pelo, yeah, I created that channel, nobody available. [01:54] wut%? [01:54] Eleaf, check in the audacity settings probably [01:54] i'm sick of changing screen resolution and end up locking myself out [01:54] why do you want them as jpgs? [01:54] Pelo, yes I have, nothing. [01:54] JPRuskin, nvm , I just was confused about waht you were telling me, I figured it out [01:54] flyback: try gdmflexiserver [01:55] Eleaf, audacity website forum then maybe ? [01:55] thx [01:55] flyback: or something like startx -- :2.0 [01:55] gah [01:55] need to edit a video now. and nothing can record on my ubuntu machine.. [01:55] pretty messed up.

[01:56] nm I have another idea [01:56] Eleaf: you can select which sound device you would like to use under preferances - advanced settings [01:56] binarical-app, none of them work [01:56] How is Deluge as an torrent client ? Can you organize your torrent with some kind of name ? [01:56] Mba7eth, try rewording your quesiton [01:56] hey TheCellist42 [01:57] binarical-app, audacity just throws an error about pa.

I'm not sure of the name of it for apt-get remove. [01:57] I'm trying to edit xorg.conf, but it's set as read only with root as owner... do I have to... Ugh. How do I edit it? Sorry for being new.

I just can't get sound input working [02:15] dimas_, read the docs for the code first? uncompress it, cd to dir, ./configure, make, sudo make install [02:15] dimas_, plus you will need any needed depenedencies isntalled first. [02:16] Does anybody here know of any good python channels? [02:16] Eleaf: where are you getting that information [02:16] #python ?

[02:17] sixpence: sudo cat /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [02:17] dimas_, if you mean you ahve the source code archive on the desktopm then it can be found in the /home/USERNAME/Desktop directory. You may want to read a few commandline/bash tutorials befor attempting tocompile stuff from source. [02:18] dimas_, you WILL need to use the shell quite a bit. [02:18] Eleaf: this way you will have to be an audacity hacker to know where your going wrong [02:18] icanhasadmin, sixpence, you shouldn't need to sudo that. [02:18] heelo [02:18] dr_willis thanks [02:18] !hi [02:18] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:18] Is there a web page to search the Hardy repository to see which version of a package will be installed? [02:19] who are you? [02:19] binarical-app, I am an audacity hacker ;p [02:19] icanhasadmin: Nah, that just sais Ubuntu 7.01 [02:19] Eleaf: wise is as wise does [02:19] haha [02:19] hmm [02:19] paulr, was i talking to you about lcd brightness [02:19] coriander, you might want to check packages.ubuntu.com [02:19] i can't setup music for ubutu [02:20] How do I figure out what flavor of Ubunt i have? ( gutsy, feisty etc.) [02:20] I have a "server" downstairs. If I install SSH on it and set it up, can I then install (putty???) upstairs and control the server from upstairs? [02:20] coriander: packages.ubuntu.com [02:20] vanthanh85t, you cant play mp3? [02:20] matt__: yes [02:20] yes [02:20] Here's a bunch of others with the same problem... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer/+bug/131711 [02:20] which player are you using [02:20] matt__: Yes. On windows you'll (probably) use Putty, if your upstairs box is *nix, you'll just use ssh. [02:20] troxor: so, will the commands be the same? IE, after "sshing in", can i run sudo apt-get update [02:21] Flannel: well...nix upstairs too buddy [02:21] yes [02:21] matt__: yes, ssh will give a terminal just like a local terminal [02:21] matt__: logging in via SSH is identical to logging in at the machine. [02:21] sixpence: you´re on gutsy [02:21] Survivorman, thanks (also, love your show :) ) [02:21] chat yahoo on ubutu? [02:21] Flannel, thanks to you too [02:21] Flannel: troxor awesome, this is what i was hoping for. Also, if i setup ssh right, i could us a portable version of putty (usb) to hookup to my server from anywhere, given my ip. correct? [02:21] vanthanh85t, have you tried pidgin or kopete [02:22] hrmm wonder if k3b supports layer break [02:22] what tells apt what arch you are running? Like say I am running x86_64 and I want to install i386 packages (I know not recommended, besides the point) somehow it knows to grab my arch how do I override that? [02:22] matt__: yup [02:22] hola [02:22] can you help me [02:22] matt__: or pspssh on a psp, on a nokia phone like maddox, anywhere :) [02:22] troxor: awesome. So I am going to do this for certain. However, how difficult would you say doing this would be? [02:22] matt__: default is "right" for that, as far as the server is concerned, you just have to make sure your router is forwarding properly (and get a dyndns, its easier than remembering an IP) [02:23] vanthanh85t, in a terminal, sudo aptitude install pidgin kopete [02:23] Flannel: dyndns..heard of it...i believe. [02:23] will install both [02:23] matt__: On a scale of 1 to 10: 1.5, 1 being opening a web browser. [02:23] matt__: not very difficult at all, depending on your network, just install openssh-server (or somesuch) and you'll be on your way [02:23] Flannel: troxor so uh...forwarding my ports? TO THE SERVER, correct? [02:24] forwarding the servers ports not yours, you will only use one port , 22 [02:24] hello, I have a few .c files I wish to print. is there some nice program out there that will let me print them all into the same file ? [02:24] matt__: yes. Its best to set up a static IP for your server (that is, static on your LAN), and yes, forward to that box. [02:24] binarical-app: that towards me? [02:24] yes [02:24] Flannel: 192.168.1.250...already doing so [02:24] dr_willis you there? [02:24] delfick, same file? there are code 'printing' utilities out that can make the code look nicer/format it. [02:25] dimas_, im here and out and back, and so forth all day [02:25] windows frame are missing - ubuntu 8.04 ... any ideas? [02:25] delfick: you can cat them all together to a new file, then use a2ps on that [02:25] binarical-app: so the "server" is 192.168.1.250....shall i forward port 22 on my router to that? [02:25] oren: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support, thanks [02:25] matt__: yes [02:25] Flannel, thanks [02:25] dr_willis i had decompress how i configure and make before i sudo? [02:26] Flannel: is ssh pretty secure, given i use a decent password? [02:26] matt__: once you get ssh set up, run screen on your server for maximum enjoyment :) [02:26] Flannel: or do i need to really get into that? [02:26] dimas_, cd to the dir, and run the commands. [02:26] no, you will have to set up an account with dynamicdns.com then you will set up your router via its network address to forward the needed port to the dyndns domain [02:26] Dr_willis, k then, such as ?? .... troxor, will that show header information as well for each ,c file [02:26] ok [02:26] dimas_, bash/shell basics. I imagine you will need to install the 'build-essential' package also first. [02:26] got you [02:26] port 22 is the port needed to log onto your .250 [02:26] delfick: just do something like `cat *.h *.c > printme && a2ps printme` === MysT is now known as [GuS] [02:27] binarical-app: right now i am only working on lan..not internets [02:27] when you install open ssh and client , these ports will be configured for you [02:27] troxor: what is screen? [02:27] dr_willis is the piece of software to connect to shoutcast to stream music [02:27] binarical-app, thank you for attempts at helping ;) [02:27] delfick, a quick 'apt-cache search print | grep code' shows trueprint - pretty printing of source code [02:27] okay so install open ssh and itc lient if you dont already hav it as part of the server installation [02:27] matt__: You needn't worry about being sniffed or anything, no. Connect on the thumbdrive once from a known good location (to exchange keys, to prevent MiTM). But yeah, if they guess your password, they login. That's the only issue. Also, either set a non-default port, or look into DenyHosts, since you'll get hammered otherwise (just brute force attacks). [02:27] matt__: $DIETY's gift to the world ;) http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2007/09/27/a-guide-to-gnu-screen/ [02:28] binarical-app: no monitor or keyboard, so i'll have to do it later or something... [02:28] Eleaf: sorry it didnt work so well . peace out [02:28] dimas_, you will want 'build-essential' installed for aabout any code compiling. [02:28] binarical-app, I'm going to try updating to hardy heron, and see if I get any different results, later. [02:28] dr_willis i dont get it [02:28] Flannel: so use a nonstandard port, one besides 22. use a good password...got it. [02:28] matt__: youll need to set it up with a head at first, [02:28] troxor, that works but I need to know file names as well in that file, Dr_willis, will look at that, thnx :) [02:28] binarical-app: head? [02:29] monitor keyboard [02:29] matt__: Or DenyHosts (which blacklist IPs after N bad attacks within a given time frame) [02:29] binarical-app: correct [02:29] monitor keyboard are a have? [02:29] Flannel: ok..that sounds good, deny hosts, i'll remember that. [02:29] i think im confusing you [02:29] Flannel: binarical-app so does someone have a good tutorial i can use while i try this? [02:30] matt__: If you go to a non-standard port, it shouldn't become an issue though. But, I suppose it could [02:30] anyone attempted to upgrade gnome to 2.22 in gutsy? [02:30] What is a the best search tool for you local computer ? to find files and such [02:30] binarical-app: Flannel should it take less than 30 minutes overall? [02:30] there are good wikis on the subject by searching the relevant topics [02:30] Anyone know of a good dvd ripper and movie editor [02:30] troxor: google...google desktop i like [02:30] setting up the server yes [02:30] matt__: SSH? yes. It'll take... 5 minutes, maybe. 95% of that is downloading the package based on your connection speed. [02:30] google : ubuntu server how to [02:30] xb3rt: k9copy is good for dvd ripping, don't know about the gnome equivalent [02:30] google ssh ubuntu server how to [02:31] Flannel: perhaps i'll try [02:31] right now... [02:31] xb3rt k9copy is good one and ogmrip is good one too. [02:31] howtoforge has a good server tutorial [02:31] matt__: There's no need for a howto. Install the server package (openssh-server), and connect! [02:31] howtoforge is a load of rubbish. [02:31] worked for me [02:31] flannel is right [02:31] tarelerulz: tracker, beagle, slocate [02:31] troxor: tarelerulz: are those in the repo? [02:32] troxor: try using aptitude instead of apt-get [02:32] Ogmrip is not in the repository ,but just google its homepage and you good to to. k9copy is in the repo [02:32] binarical-app: creature of habit :) [02:33] so anyone know of a dual layer dvd program that supports layer breaks? [02:33] troxor hi 5 [02:33] BURN APT BURN [02:33] ? [02:33] Amd -> i386 [02:33] BriuNg It [02:34] xb3rt: DVD::rip is other one ,but I have not had good luck with it. It might work better for you [02:34] dr_willis sudo what? [02:34] flinttown420: any recent one, k3b perhaps [02:34] sudo -s always works [02:34] none i found support layer break [02:35] just tried k3b, basero [02:35] will not give option for manual layer break [02:36] ohh noes dpkg --force-all -i *.deb [02:36] WHAT WHAT [02:36] Hey guys I have an issue, I upgraded to hardy heron and everything was pretty smooth and everthing worked however now.. what is happening is I will double click on an app, or try to start the update manager it pops up in the bottom as its loading then it just dies, I can't open any app. [02:36] how do you delete a dir that has files in it?

[02:39] nikrud thanks [02:39] matt___: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [02:39] kindofabuzz: you could take packages for hardy, try to install them and see what happens. don't blame me if anything breaks though :) [02:39] I downloaded this program called "hardinfo" from the repositories, and it often crashes when I try to use it, saying "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". Anything I can do or is it useless? [02:39] troxor: yeah i thought about that [02:39] Flannel: random port? [02:40] kindofabuzz: alternatively, you could build the entire thing from source to /usr/local or somesuch- depends on how bad you want it ;) [02:40] hello there, i was wondering who to upgrade to hardy haron without affecting my current system, settings..etc [02:40] troxor, kindofabuzz, if you want to backport, use prevu (see !prevu), but I wouldn't backport soemthing so major. [02:40] matt___: What? Well, pick something that isn't going to be used by something. [02:40] yeah, i wish someone had a .deb for it [02:40] kindofabuzz you should look into jhbuild if you want to compile gnome, it automates it pretty well [02:40] lol [02:40] Flannel: binarical-app so something random and made up work? [02:40] Flannel: cool, that's a new one [02:40] nikrud: what about that garnome or whatever it is [02:41] does anyone have the patience to help an ubernoob with some simple bash commands? [02:41] matt___: Yes, You just don't want to usesomething thats commonly used for somethign else. [02:41] kindofabuzz jhbuild has perty much replaced it (last I looked) [02:41] amirman84, ask a question [02:41] Flannel: gotcha [02:41] matt___: after you make the changes to the config, `sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart` will restart it [02:42] Flannel: ok...just trying to figure out the password deal... [02:42] matt__, i'd use something like 10022 .. the chances of a port used this high are low and it's easy to remember [02:42] Flannel: where/how do i change it? [02:42] ok, i've looked for the answer in the obvious places already but i think what i'm looking for is so simple that no one thought to include it on any bash command lists that i've found. i'm wondering how to i navigate from folder to folder from the terminal? [02:42] Flannel: is it just the password for a/the/any user on the machine? [02:43] the one you put in at set up [02:43] hello everyone...does anyone anything about Limewire peer to peer for ubuntu?

[02:44] amirman84 linuxcommands.org is a good primer [02:44] !java first [02:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about java first - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:44] magicsword, i perfer 'frostwire' to limewire. [02:44] magicsword, I have tryed limewire for Ubuntu and it works just like the windows version [02:44] magicsword: I'd recommend Frostwire above Limewire [02:44] Anyone know the irc server/channel for PS3-Linux? [02:44] Flannel: so i'll use username and password ehh....so i should change the userpassword to something good ehh... [02:44] thanks [02:44] amirman84: use `cd ..` instead [02:44] JohnMM, its saying to follow the !java factoid first and install java. :) [02:44] matt no one can hack you right now [02:44] ah [02:44] amirman84, 'alias cd..='cd ..' [02:44] thanks troxor and nikrud [02:44] Flannel: binarical-app why is that? [02:45] ***matt can hack himself [02:45] that alias does wonders for dos users.. :) [02:45] matt___: Why is what? [02:45] and dr_willis [02:45] you are behind a firewall that is your router [02:45] how do i kill XServer and GDM to install NVidia drivers from a .run file? [02:45] Flannel: he said noone can hack me right now... [02:45] amirman84, that corrects the lazy 'we dont need no space' teachings of dos. :) [02:45] thanks for the info Dr [02:45] binarical-app: so that will someone protect me? Flannel is this correct? [02:45] matt___: Until you port forward, people trying to connect to your IP get blocked at the router, they don't actually touch your server [02:46] tj13823 clt-alt-f2, login, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop , do your nvidia stuff, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start , clt-atl-f7 to get to gui if needed [02:46] tj13823, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [02:46] flannel is right [02:46] Flannel: got you. so unless i want to forward it so i can use it at school or something perhaps..i'm safe...cool. [02:46] lettme go try it upstairs.... [02:46] since hardy haron is about to be released, can i upgrade to hardy haron without changing my current settings and programs? [02:46] tj13823, from tty1 [02:46] If I get a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error when I try using a program, is there anything I can do to troubleshoot or is it hopeless? [02:46] How would you search the text on a web page So you say find to rather then the word tool ? [02:46] ? [02:46] but dont worry about hacking, no one can get to you since your ip is changingvery often [02:46] tarelerulz hit / and firefox opens a search window [02:46] hamalawy: Yes, but its not "about" to be released. End of April. But yeah, upgrading is normal, just like always [02:46] ok i installed Beagle but see no option to use it, is it just cl? [02:46] linuxcommands.org is a parked domain btw [02:46] tj13823, tty1 = Ctrl+Alt+F1 [02:47] binarical-app: that's a rather poor way to look at it. [02:47] !cli | amirman84 [02:47] amirman84: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[02:47] amirman84 sorry, linuxcommand.org [02:47] is there a command that i can type to make it automatically upgrade to hardy? sorry but i'm an absolute noob :) [02:48] matt___: 'man ssh' gives you all the gorey details, but yeah. ssh -p [port] user@host [02:48] ssh usr@ipaddress [02:48] Flannel: binarical-app nevermind...already figured it out... [02:48] hamalawy: #ubuntu+1 for hardy questions. And if you're that new, you probably shouldn't be using Hardy until it's actually released. [02:48] yeppy, another satified costomer [02:49] 7me jumps up and down [02:49] been trying to figure this out for hours.. i have a python script to do some sql querying once an hour.. a few hours ago i started getting error messages as output by cron, to my email [02:49] a problem with the sql statement [02:49] * binarical-app jumps up and down [02:49] Flannel: this is awesome....one question...if i want to edit the /etc/ssh/sshconfig or whatever, and then restart the ssh from upstairs using init.d, can i do this? can i restart the ssh remotely? [02:49] thanks binarical ;) [02:49] so i changed the sql in the python script... only now.. i keep getting the same error message from cron [02:49] every hour.. despite that i've updated the SQL [02:49] how does one use Beagle? i don't see it? [02:49] any idaes where i can look to debug this? [02:49] I understand how to use Firefox's text search ,but I was wondering if there was a way to have firefox or maybe other program to Find The word to rather then the To in tool and every other word that has to in it ? [02:49] well youll have to set it to wake on lan [02:49] matt__: yep [02:49] i'm trying to get someone to SCP something from my computer. My router is set as my DHCP server, but do I still have to configure my modem to forward port 22? [02:50] tushyd: yes, otherwise you'll never get to your computer. (unless they're on the same subnet) [02:50] tarelerulz: ctrl-f [02:50] Flannel: cool..and if i want to forward a port to the ip, i can. just use a nonstandard port and a good password, and then i can ssh from anywhere? [02:50] matt__: yes [02:50] matt__: and SCP too [02:50] Flannel: this is the coolest thing since ftp [02:50] Flannel: but not sure what scp is... [02:50] matt__: SCP is FTP over SSH, basically. [02:50] HOLA [02:50] scp is cp over SSH [02:51] Flannel: oh...cool. couldn't i use cp? [02:51] Flannel: Well I tried having both my modem (dhcp off) and my router (dhcp on) forward port 22 to my machine's ip address but my sister still gets a timeout on her end [02:51] it has nothing to do with FTP :p [02:51] matt__: So now you have a way to connect, and grab files (Filezilla does SCP) [02:51] tarelerulz: to ALGUIEN EN ESPAÑOL [02:51] !es | EL [02:51] EL: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

[03:29] Stepa1: why not sudo apt-get remove --purge evince ? [03:29] icanhasadmin: okay, good think i didnt press apply [03:29] no, the ubuntu-desktop is a shell with dependencies on everything that ships with a 'stock' ubuntu install. it is there in case you remove too much and want it all back in one easy way. [03:29] does anyone know how to unistall AWN I need to reinstall [03:29] hey guys, is there any way for apt-get remove a packages that are broken a.k.a can't install them?

I just like to know what im doing and most of the time when i get advise here i dont [03:31] icanhasadmin: i understood you though ;-) [03:32] troxor: I needed the package "bash-completion" that did it =) [03:32] cpk1: d'oh, that was easy :) [03:32] what are linux headers and how do i find out what version i have [03:32] crap, i'm running ubuntu in vmware so i can't enable compiz or beryl or anything because the virtual graphics drivers suck [03:32] so i guess i can't use AWN [03:32] pingu: `uname -a` [03:33] is there anyway to force apt-get to remove packages? despite if the packages are broken?

[03:33] pingu: they're development files for the kernel [03:33] ok === gunfire is now known as guardoftheguards === slypheed__ is now known as slypheed_ [03:34] Stepa1: it's because ubuntu-desktop has evince as a dependency [03:34] HinHin: could you paste the output to pastebin? [03:34] troxor, sure [03:34] Stepa1: honestly i think that's a bug [03:34] Stepa1: actually, i believe it's a mis-feature :P [03:34] troxor: thanks and can i rely on you for im doing some stuff with ndiswrapper because the drivers for my card in linux suck and its kinda uncharted territory for me [03:34] hey.. it says 512m is an invalid number for setting up a swapfile [03:34] Starnestommy, icanhasadmin: am i sacrifising anything by removing it? [03:35] did i make it? [03:35] icanhasadmin: I think it is intended to give you a quick and easy way to get back to the 'stock' set of ubuntu apps [03:35] Stepa1: evince is a pdf viewer [03:35] troxor, it says 512m is invalid number [03:35] Serveck: capital M ;) case sensitive [03:35] whats the terminal command to build dependancies? [03:35] ooh ok [03:35] lol [03:35] frozenskunk: i'm sorry, "suggesting" the user uninstalls gnome is a mis-feature in any situation :P [03:35] hmm seems to be working [03:35] kronoman: i know that, thanks [03:35] wbreslin951: depmod -a?

[03:51] slashjamiec, most celerons would run almost as well as any other comparable intel chip in non-graphical cli [03:51] pygmymath: i have other systems if i want to burn my lap or run "demanding" apps [03:51] my wireless card works.. but it cannot connect to my network, and i dont have the HEX key [03:51] slashjamiec: yup, they are. [03:51] just the passphrase [03:52] Serveck: that could be a problem lol [03:52] does anyone know how i could remap ctrl-alt-bksp to bring up the quit menu instead of killing the session? [03:52] guardoftheguards: yeah, I had that for a while too when I set up, seems like the vga was display 0, and the 350 was display 1 (or something to that effect), you can get it to do both at once as a dual display also. [03:52] orlok: fair play :) my eee is just pidgin, ff, mocp irssi and some open office heh [03:52] well, every other laptop worked fine with the passphrase [03:52] Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu 7.10 won't run on my pc for? [03:52] pygmymath: i am actually wanting to get my X working "nicely" [03:52] slashjamiec: no, but you can tell us what the problem with it is [03:52] wittyphotons: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts [03:52] srbaker: your best bet is to check out what's available then ;) [03:52] wittyphotons: I think you have to edit xorg.conf, disable C-A-Bkspc, then do what pygmymath said [03:52] NICE [03:52] they have the m1330 [03:52] troxor: only the inspiron 530 [03:52] troxor: i wanted an XPS :( [03:52] when i try and boot, it shows the startup boot screen, and nothing after that shows. [03:52] okay, i'll try those things. [03:53] morning people [03:53] ive tried "acpi=off" in the boot options [03:53] orlok: whats wrong with it? I'm running basic ubuntu with the eee scripts & modules and ive got the cube going at a good 50-60 [03:53] are any other reputable vendors doing it? i'm leaning towards system76 currently [03:53] guardoftheguards: another strange thing is you can't play video back over a vnc connection, (at least without messing with some display settings) you can do everything else, just not playback... [03:53] thanks all. duh [03:53] pygmymath: my "fast" computer overclocks by more then the eeepc's total overclocked speed... 3Ghz oc'd to 4Ghz [03:53] hey I want to setup an ssh-pppd tunnel to another machine, does anyone have a howto or any info on how to do this the ubuntu/debian way? [03:53] srbaker: both dell and system76 are good [03:53] orlok: nice heh [03:54] *scratches head* [03:54] pygmymath: dunno, compiz stuff isnt working the same as on my ubuntu desktop [03:54] ok [03:54] pygmymath: dont get the same menu options or effects [03:54] orlok: Using intel driver? [03:54] yup [03:54] hi, how do you run a .bin file? [03:54] I like the eepc. They're good. Except i got the $500AU version, which means the ram is soldered into the ram slot and isn't upgradeable. [03:54] orlok: stupid question but installed custom settings manager [03:54] i have GL working, or did until i installed Xgl [03:54] speedhunt3r: you usually burn it... [03:54] slashjamiec: try vga=791 or vga=771 [03:54] slashjamiec: burn. mines running 2 gig and its beauty [03:54] Thanks, I'll write that down. [03:54] orlok: OH GOD UNINSTALL IT NOW. i'm serious, kill it with fire. xgl is satan [03:55] troxor: the inspiron 530 can be tricked out pretty nicely, but not quite what i want, unfortunately [03:55] slashjamiec: i got the $500AU version, mine isnt soldered in [03:55] speedhunt3r: chmod +x file.bin && ./file.bin [03:55] xgl is DEATH [03:55] i may just buy an XPS and just ditch windows [03:55] orlok: oh [03:55] !caps | icanhasadmin [03:55] icanhasadmin: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [03:55] pygmymath: amen brother [03:55] frozenskunk: It's quite odd. [03:55] Adantan_Alex: i disagree [03:55] orlok: you dont need xgl at all on the eee. only reason to use xgl is ati [03:55] srbaker: there are a few machines that come with redhat enterprise, iirc [03:55] It seems like X is just completely ignoring the conf file [03:55] um just had prob installin when a windows partition is on sda1 and i installed ubuntu on sda5....now i rebooted and nothing happend like grub didn't work [03:55] pygmymath: ahh, ok, cheers [03:55] anyone know how to get grub to work [03:56] icanhasadmin: used it for too long with my ati carxd. today my 9600 is working with beta drivers and i love it heh [03:56] guardoftheguards: Would it work with the checkbox cleared? [03:56] slashjamiec: i got mine in the "second" batch though [03:56] srbaker: and if RH will run on them, ubuntu will :) [03:56] frozenskunk: Outputs to the vga monitor [03:56] slashjamiec: then all the major retailers were stockingthem === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [03:56] pygmymath: fglrx+AIGLX runs so amazing i cry sometimes when i use my comp [03:56] frozenskunk: But the very fact that this VGA monitor is working baffles me. [03:56] guardoftheguards: ok then you need to change your display to force it over the the 350 [03:56] high-freq: describe "not work" please [03:56] Best and easiest DVD Rip program? [03:57] define rip [03:57] dvd9 to dvd5? or dvd to xvid? [03:57] ripear" [03:57] guardoftheguards I think your system has two displays and is using the vga by default, you need to force it over to the 350 I think [03:57] icanhasadmin: i cant get this card to go under 70 fps. ands thats cos it's vsynced :/ [03:57] make an avi file of a dvd [03:57] troxor: ah, true. [03:57] dvd::rip [03:57] dseomn, how would i disable c-a-bksp in xorg.conf? [03:57] okey [03:57] ok, my wireless card works, i put in my WEP key, yet it will not connect [03:57] hmm [03:57] troxor: i think i might just get system76 so i can not install myself :P [03:57] it doesn't boot [03:57] pretty good, may have to play with settings [03:57] wants to do a network boot or somethin [03:58] can anybody help me fix a display problem [03:58] wittyphotons: from the manpage: Option "DontZap" "On" [03:58] pygmymath: wait you can't get it to go UNDER 70fps? You're not complaining about that are you? Lol [03:59] icanhasadmin: not at all :D [03:59] dseomn, ohhh, THIS is where i add that. that makes so much more sense! [03:59] icanhasadmin, after install i rebooted and nothing would come up not grub nor windows [03:59] high-freq: sounds like you hosed your mbr [03:59] icanhasadmin: and running steamgames in wine full screen on the cube is sweet :P compared to a terminal error from wine when i had my ati :P [03:59] any fix? [03:59] can anybody help me fix my display error [03:59] high-freq: windows cd, mbr fix [03:59] need help with screen resizing inside of virtualbox, [03:59] on a fresh install [03:59] srbaker, you could always go with a dellbuntu. i have nothing against system76, but i do believe it's a good idea to show major pc makers that there is demand for linux [03:59] dospod: please don't ask to ask a question, just ask it [04:00] Daisuke_Ido: yes, but they don't have the model i want. [04:00] after that do i go into the livecd and fix grub? [04:00] Daisuke_Ido: they only provide the inspiron 530 with ubuntu, and i want XPS [04:00] fair enough [04:00] I need help I installed ubuntu , live cd loaded fine , but when I boot off the hd it hangs always never displays anything , except when I run ubuntu recovery mode then I can actually get it to display to my screen [04:00] not a laptop? [04:00] frozenskunk: http://www.pastebin.com/m5c3ff2d3 [04:01] frozenskunk: http://www.pastebin.com/m5c3ff2d3 [04:01] guardoftheguards: checking it, give me a minute [04:01] frozenskunk: http://pastebin.com/m5c3ff2d3 [04:01] Its never done this to me before on the laptop and I have tested previous versions of ubuntu on this laptop [04:01] there it is [04:01] that's the right link [04:01] I've got this old 933mhz celeron in the shed with 92mb ram, what can i do with it? Ubuntu!? [04:01] dospod: does it get to grub? [04:01] icanhasadmin, ok did that mbr fix using the windows cd...and nada..same thing won't boot...i might have to reformat the whole drive and just put nix on it [04:01] yes it does [04:01] Okay, so why is it that mp3 files and flv files freeze Firefox / VLC Media Player / Rythmbox? I installed the proper codecs using Automatix2, and it worked for a bit, but now opening flash videos and .mp3 files cause me to have to Force Quit the application [04:01] hmmmm [04:01] but when it goes into ubuntu it crashes [04:01] slashjamiec: that should run ubuntu ok, but you might be better off with puppy or dsl, or something [04:01] but if I press esc and select ubuntu recovery mode it works fine [04:02] dospod: dd you make any hardware changes? [04:02] did* [04:02] dospod: pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please [04:02] any other suggestion on a hosed mbr? [04:02] how to fix [04:02] but dsl sucks, there's no "apt-get" which blows. :P [04:02] I don't have access to the internet on the lappy [04:02] lol.... [04:02] dsl has apt-get [04:02] I need to get the screen first so I can then ethernet it up and then install the bc43xx fcutter [04:03] nomadz: I'm pretty sure it doesn't include the synaptics manager. :S [04:03] how do i get my HEX key? i have my passphrase.. and my dad is sleeping (the one with the hex key) [04:03] pygmymath: custom settings manager? or compiz settings manager? [04:03] yeap it does [04:03] Serveck: WEP? WPA PSK? WPA2 PSK? [04:03] I'll boot into it later [04:03] dsl 4.xx [04:03] slashjamiec: where did you get your eee? [04:04] dillidoo kiss my boo [04:04] WEP [04:04] lol j/k [04:04] orlok: Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [04:04] will a regular hex key translator work? [04:04] Russian Roulette in Linux ;) [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm *.* || echo "You live" [04:04] well.. its worth a shot [04:04] orlok: At that damn Good Guys. [04:04] ok the thing is if your using WEP there are 2 types of WEB one is ASCII and the other one is HEX [04:04] slashjamiec: ahh, so part of the second shipment? [04:04] hmm [04:04] WEP* [04:04] what is the ubuntu off topic irc channel? [04:05] i am sure my ram was socketed.... [04:05] im installing ubuntu now.... [04:05] ryanzec: #ubuntu-offtopic ? [04:05] for once I think I should have stuck with vista insted of ubuntu [04:05] parkinm: hey i did that and i won. oh yeah and PLEASE don't encourage newbies to hose their system like that [04:05] orlok: Yeah, wasn't the first shipment... You have 2gb expandable slots, but my version came with 512mb soldered. [04:05] which is crazy since I always prefer ubuntu over vista [04:05] slashjamiec: JB hifi here [04:05] dospod did u dual boot? [04:05] no [04:05] : [04:05] used to === Phase is now known as Phase- [04:05] but I wanted just ubuntu this time [04:05] dospod: you should of dual boot [04:06] can someone tell me why i have to log out log back in a session in order to get my screen size to work, i am using virtualbox driver in vista [04:06] orlok: Yeah, i used to live in Brisbane. I should have got it at JB. But I'm up in rockhampton these days :P [04:06] Its weird the last version of ubuntu loaded [04:06] fine [04:06] worked out of box [04:06] same hardware [04:06] icanhasadmin, anyone who plays russian roulette you should already be aware of what might pursue! :P [04:06] nomadz: this is a ubuntu channel [04:06] dospod: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:06] !room [04:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about room - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:06] * -you [04:06] ....

See also !Kopete [04:06] but this one just is kinda screwed up [04:06] dospod, what the prob is? [04:06] the question is about ubuntu 7.10 [04:07] It hangs when loading ubuntu [04:07] ubuntu recovery works [04:07] 6.06 was the best version ever. [04:07] but when it tries to load ubuntu it dosen't even display anything [04:07] hey guys [04:07] just black [04:07] i heard that your supposed to put s: before your passphrase for WEP [04:07] hmm [04:07] .... lol [04:07] wrong xorg file ;( [04:07] Serveck: that's if you edit wpa_supplicant.conf directly [04:08] oh [04:08] slashjamiec: compizconfig-settings-manager [04:08] so it SHOULD work with my passphrase, but it does not [04:08] No-one should be using WEP unless the _really_ need it, like if they want to use a nintendo DS or something that doesnt support WPA [04:08] have u tried to fix it using diff terminal...console mode ;) [04:08] it might be WPA [04:08] in recovery mode I can start x [04:08] im not sure, my dad was the one to configure the network [04:08] orlok: Mines at home, I'm at the office. [04:08] k [04:08] and I even dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:08] so I'm still working out my video problems. I have the newest ati drivers installed, everything displays ok. but compiz still has wierd bugs.. if I disable compiz then I have response time problems (everything seems slow to click on or to type) but it's not like that with compiz turned on [04:08] pygmymath: even, compizconfig-settings-manager [04:08] Serveck: using the wrong connection method isn't likely to work, regardless of having the right key ;) [04:09] dospod, try comparing those two files..maybe xorg is messed [04:09] brb [04:09] night all [04:09] I don't have the old file anymore : \ [04:09] Serveck, having problems connecting to wireless network?

[04:09] yea, i got my wireless card to work, wont connect [04:09] however, I didn't want to use compiz all the time because some programs I want to work right now (particularly gncash) have rendering problems [04:09] what is sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wish8.4 /usr/bin/wish [04:09] I'm going IDLE for a bit, cyas! [04:09] and I hate xorg configuring idk why [04:09] dospod: are you using a router? Adantan_Alex [04:09] Thanks for your help everyone! [04:09] bye [04:10] any time [04:10] cheers. [04:10] SpArTaKo: it makes wish and link to wish8.4 [04:10] my wireless card dosen't work out of box [04:10] ok [04:10] !hardware: dospod [04:10] oops [04:10] hi [04:10] !hardware | dospod [04:10] excused I would want to know if the router beyond to having the hole for ethernet it has also the normal hole thanks… excused my ugly English but I am Italian [04:10] dospod: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:10] SpArTaKo: so that running wish will actually run the command wish8.4 [04:10] so if anyone has any experience with this gnucash rendering problem under compiz, I'm looking for a workaround at least.. and any suggestions for alternates to compiz or metacity [04:10] I apt-get installed kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, and didnt like kubuntu so switched back. Now my login screen is stuck at kubuntu and i have many kde apps... help!

[04:14] happyface_: be careful with autoremove, it could want to remove stuff you don't want it to [04:14] i want to remove all kde stuff [04:14] dseomn: thanks for the heads up. any way to restrict it? [04:14] happyface_: autoremove should do that, but check to make sure it doesn't remove other stuff too [04:14] what problem are you having? [04:15] thanks dseomn [04:15] pygmymath: there's no clean fix as far as I know [04:15] happyface_: no prob [04:15] frozenskunk: No problem. Thanks for this. [04:15] dseomn: shame.. i've used it a few times with no problems on this box [04:15] dseomn: pygmymath: also, when I ctr+alt+(F1-F4), I get a blank screen instead of a console [04:15] pygmymath: yeah, it all depends on how you installed the software in the first place [04:15] ah right got you [04:16] guardoftheguards: no problem, no one seems to be able to help with mine, I might as well help some one while I'm here waiting... [04:16] dseomn: if its not been apt-got then it might uninstall it style of thing? [04:16] can some one guide me on installing AWN! [04:16] pygmymath: yeah, it's more complex than that, but that's the basic idea [04:16] dseomn: everything always is heh [04:16] when i go to change my network settings, there is no option for WPA key [04:17] happyface_: that's usually a problem with getty or init, I'd need more details to be able to help [04:17] Serveck: are you using network-manager-gnome? [04:18] hi [04:18] happyface_: have you customized anything in the init system or installed a different getty program? [04:18] no, where is that? [04:18] I'm running 8.04 beta with all the latest updates [04:18] dseomn: I don't think so [04:18] does 8.4 at least work [04:18] I got a message failed to initialize HAL [04:18] I wouldn't mind downloading the iso and burning it to just to get my laptop up and running [04:18] the network won't start or anything now [04:18] everything was working except sound [04:19] damnit [04:19] my installation keeps messing up at.... 100 percent [04:19] now sound works and everything else doesn't :) [04:19] Hmm, move window is alt-f7, right? [04:19] dseomn: ubuntu says I need a system restart brb [04:19] then my computer sais could not boot operating system then i restart then it works [04:20] ubuntu should tell me to get a beer [04:20] XD [04:20] ok....I see the sun java website...but is there a linke to ubuntu java???

It worked back in the days of Gutsy Gibbon, now not so much. [04:23] thanks [04:23] I still have kde as my login screen, and ubuntu still says I need a restart, and I still have all my kde apps [04:23] how do i get the HEX key for my wireless router? [04:23] howdy [04:23] anyone alive here? [04:23] yea [04:24] oh wow [04:24] guardoftheguards: http://pastebin.com/m52b5f1c7 is how I have mine set up, you can see how I do the dual display with the screen0 and 1 at the bottom. [04:24] cool [04:24] hi guys, is there an ubuntu sparc channel? [04:24] Serveck: did you set a normal passphrase to your router, in regular english? [04:24] (or whatever language) [04:24] I didn't know ubuntu supported sparc [04:24] yes, its a passphrase [04:24] travisat: unofficial port [04:24] ah [04:24] its 10 characters [04:24] you should be able to type that in [04:24] i dont think it an unofficial port at all [04:24] i did, will not connect [04:24] travisat: let me clarify, official for now. Unofficial next release. [04:24] is anyone else's rhythmbox unable to play after resuming from suspend? [04:24] ill brb guys [04:25] happyface_: "apt-get remove libqt3-mt" should get rid of everything that uses QT (the layer under KDE) [04:25] in fact, im pretty sure sun and ubuntu partnered to bring out ubuntu sparc... iirc [04:25] anyone upgrade to 8.04 [04:25] Hi, I ran the memtest86 on a laptop, I got a couple of errors which I took a picture of, And midway the computer just froze and gave a black screen [04:25] Shihan: dropped for next release [04:25] Any help interpreting the errors? [04:25] guardoftheguards: looking through that, a lot of those comments are someone elses, so I have done some cut-pasting from somewhere to get that working [04:25] bummer.. never really gotten ubuntu sparc to work yet... [04:25] is this the right place to ask about networking stuff (involving wifi and evdo)? [04:25] dseomn: the kubuntu login says it cant find the graphical login, and gives me a less-graphical login window [04:25] I knew debian was supported on sparc, so its not that great a leap [04:25] Shihan: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-March/000400.html [04:25] Hey all, I know this is the Ubuntu room, but everyone is away at the WInehq room...

[04:26] With Wine Not showing all of my game* [04:26] Housefly7k: bad ram ;) [04:26] happyface_: "apt-get install gdm kdm-" will get you using the gnome login screen === co_BIASA is now known as co_iseng [04:26] yeah, thats kewl... i've been using 7.04 and 6.06 anyways [04:26] heh, the moment I ask about my java browser woes, they go away :) [04:27] frozenskunk: from here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_hardware_pvr-350_TV-out#head-9603941b9f3a3f4667cc4dd1a9eb74d376d3f39f [04:27] troxor: the laptop is my friends and although it has vista :curse: I thought i would run the memtest from the live cd [04:27] I have a Acer Aspire 5050 5430 and can't install Linux locks at the start [04:27] troxor: it keeps randomly restarting and dying so i figured it may be a RAM issue [04:27] wasnt that important anyways, just wanted to try get some recent hw from sun running sparc just to annoy the sun sales guy [04:28] my computer shuts down when I leave it idle for a long time [04:28] why??! [04:28] does anyone know how i can sorta...bridge a wifi connection to evdo? [04:29] palomer: it's either your power settings or your batter [04:29] *battery [04:29] palomer: also how long is "a long time" ? [04:29] like so data on a wireless network that isn't connected to the outside world can be sent through a laptop with an evdo card in it? [04:29] is it a laptop? [04:29] 21 days until the release? [04:30] kveldulf... ? [04:30] Piffer: ? [04:30] guardoftheguards: It's possible, I know that I have read the part of that about setting up the 350 output and configuring it for X, but I remember having problems when I enabled the 350 in myth settings, and I don't have it enabled now. The comments in my xorg.conf are from somewhere else I think, so I must have had to look elasewhere... [04:30] donkey ? [04:31] last thing you said... made no sense... [04:31] guardoftheguards: Sorry I'm being so vague, it's been almost a year since I got mine going... [04:31] i have a wireless router that i can connect to with the laptop [04:31] ok [04:31] but the router is just...on it's own, it doesn't have an internet connection [04:31] ok [04:31] but i do have an evdo card in my laptop [04:32] Before i nag the whole lot of you, just wanna say Hello, how yall doing? [04:32] kveldulf> if "evdo" has something like IP, you probably can, yes [04:32] and i want to direct traffic that is being sent to my laptop through the wireless router over evdo to a server out on the internets [04:32] Starnestommy, how do I change my power setting (im on a desktop) [04:32] ah, you would have to configure your laptop to act as a gateway, and then point the default gateway on the router to point to your laptop. Then anyone on the wifi can get online... [04:32] ahhh [04:32] Piffer, I don't know how long but every time I leave I come back and its off [04:32] that makes sense [04:32] easier said than done... as I'm not a guru by a long shot :-0 [04:33] yeah, but that is the best explanation i've had so far tonight [04:33] palomer: system > preferences > power management? [04:33] dseomn: that command fixed it, thanks! (it also doesnt need me to restart anymore)... can you help me fix my broken multisession bash terminals? :) [04:33] good.. [04:33] also kveldulf, you from Norway? [04:33] you could also directly bridge it for real, but something using masquerading or source nat will probably be easier to setup [04:33] kveldulf: Evdo has lot's of issues, dropping connections all the time is one of them... [04:33] what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude exactly? [04:33] Piffer: nope, just liked the guy in the story [04:33] happyface_: no prob, but I'm going to bed soon, so I'll only help if it's quick [04:33] how good is "evdo" [04:34] we have 3G+ here [04:34] hi im curious if xubuntu install cd has wicd on it? or does it install it already during installation? [04:34] how does it relate [04:34] you know, i'm not sure if it's evdo or 3g [04:34] manguy: aptitude has an interactive interface when you run it with no arguments [04:34] its a verizon 5750 pcmcia card [04:34] ok, well they worked semi-ok before... the resolution was a bit off, but now it shows a black screen dseomn [04:34] Starnestommy: ahh ok, thanks [04:34] but it seems pretty fast [04:34] Gilou depends on your area, I have it and don't like it much, but a LOT of that is the stupid piece of &*&^% Linksys router I that I have... [04:34] I have a brand new a6460t HP pavilion PC. And it has a built in wireless card. But when i installed Ubuntu 7.04 it will recognize it, but when i select my network, it says 'connected to wireless at (0%)' and i can asure you that the router is less then 5 feet away.

[04:36] chipbuddy: newest ipod? then need to compile libgpod 0.6.0 or wait for next release in three weeks [04:36] chipbuddy: I use it on a different mp3 player [04:37] dseomn: possibly, I haven't used this PC in awhile [04:37] bazhang, i've been able to use it just fine (putting songs on and off), i just want to know if there's a way to see the total amount of time currently on the ipod [04:37] i can manually add up all the numbers, but it's kind of a pain [04:37] happyface_: can you post the output of "grep vga= /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep defoptions=" please (it should only be 1 line) [04:37] chipbuddy: not sure about rhythmbox; amarok does that just fine though [04:37] ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 [04:38] dseomn: ## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5 [04:38] bazhang, ok thanks, i'll try that [04:38] happyface_: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst as root, and get rid of "vga=791 " from that line [04:38] is the bot still dead? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:38] happyface_: then run "sudo update-grub" and reboot if there are no errors [04:38] ! [04:39] bastid_raZor: the !info seems to be not working atm [04:39] Hey there i just got my new computer today, it has a HD 2600XT Radeon gphx card, which of the Ati driver release's should i be using for it? [04:39] happyface_: that will decrease your resolution by a lot, but it should work at least [04:39] bazhang; okay.. i was wanting to pick its brain on samba [04:39] * text-mode resolution [04:39] !samba [04:39] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[04:41] Well im dual booting right now so i cannot enter that command right now. But i looked at it in my device manager and it says USB wireless but its built in, i dont understand. And does it help that the WIRE connection does not work either? [04:41] happyface_: oops, sorry [04:41] happyface_: ignore what I said, you're right [04:42] :O [04:42] dseomn no, your instructions were correct [04:42] bastid_raZor: you can use the gnome connect to server mechanism, selecting the ssh option [04:42] RAV: kind of hard to troubleshoot without direct access; in that case it would be lsusb [04:42] I am trying to backup files to a network directory... but I dont know how to reference network directories from bash... (using ubuntu) [04:42] can anyone help? [04:42] dseomn: I tried it anyway, and it just added the vga=791 back into menu.lst [04:43] nikrud: see the part "e.g." [04:43] troxor; where might that be? is that a GUI type setup? [04:43] bazbang: Is there any reason why the WIRED connection does not work? and when i click the icon in the coner next to the clock the WIRED connection is greyed out [04:43] happyface_ dseomn hahah misplaced your for example I see [04:43] bastid_raZor: yep, it's in the places menu, if you want a completely CLI way to do it, sshfs is good [04:43] happyface_: go to the line under that, and add "vga=771 " right before "quiet" [04:43] I need some help with getting flash to work in Firefox 3 beta [04:44] troxor; ahh.. i'm blind 'connect to server' .. either way is fine.. i just need to learn how to do it [04:44] nikrud: yeah, the whole "#" vs. "##" thing is confusing when you can't read [04:44] RAV: what is the ethernet controller? need direct access to check it out again; best try lspci for that then ifconfig to see if it brings up eth0 and finally sudo dhclient eth0 to get a connection [04:45] im thinking of just installing the restricted drivers the easy way, but what do the latest ati drivers offer compared to the default one which is installed with the restricted driver manager? [04:45] aiight im going to see if i can install IRC client on my iphone to communicate with you while i go to my ubunut [04:45] use your iphone to iirc while iubuhuntin [04:45] lol [04:46] dseomn: I wrote vga=771 at the line before quiet, did a update-grub, and it just reset the menul.lst file and I get a blank screen still [04:47] happyface_: did you reboot? [04:47] no sir [04:47] brb then. [04:47] Zelta ln -s /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin ~/.mozilla/plugins should work [04:47] Well, Firefox is installed to ~/firefox [04:47] Firefox 3 is, at least [04:48] Firefox 2 is installed to ~/.mozilla/firefox [04:48] who her is good with web developement? [04:48] Zelta firefox3 should be using ~/.mozilla/* for config, does firefox3 use your firefox2 bookmarks? [04:48] No [04:48] i got a project to better the ubuntu movement, and user experience. [04:48] hi all [04:49] Dave2, hi [04:49] nikrud: The thing is, in Firefox 3, it says there is no flash. In Firefox 2, I can see flash videos (Youtube for example), but when it starts to load, Firefox crashes [04:49] troxor; awesome.. the GUI is extremely simple. thanks [04:49] Zelta then ls ~/firefox , see if there's a plugin dir. If not, create it. then ln -s /etc/alternatives/firefox-plugin ~/firefox/plugins/ [04:49] troxor; GUI method i should say. [04:49] Zelta: are you running 64-bit ubuntu? [04:49] No. [04:49] i will buy a new thinkpad laptop but i dont know what model between a T61 or T60 what is better? [04:49] <_gunfire> frozenskunk: It's fine. [04:50] Zelta that is create the dir ~/firefox/plugins if needed [04:50] dseomn: no dice :( I just noticed that I don't get an ubuntu splash screen either when booting [04:50] okay [04:50] who wants to maybe discuss a co-op in a "complete driver database" "net search site " to ease the use of ubuntu? [04:50] There is already that dir === _gunfire is now known as guardoftheguards [04:50] code_kill: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a good place to ask, not here. [04:50] happyface_: ok, you should probably just undo the changes I had you make, run update-grub, and keep trying [04:50] Is it possible to remove the subdirs in the menu in KDE? Instead of Internet>Webbrowsers>Firefox, its just Internet>Firefox, like in Gnome. [04:51] happyface_: I need to sleep now, sorry [04:51] thanks anyway, :D [04:51] nikrud: My Firefox 2 dir looks considerably different than my Firefox 3 one [04:51] sorry, but wouldn't that fall under here, or more or less just tech support? [04:51] sorry bout that [04:52] nikrud: I think the problem may lie in that I used automatix2 for acquiring flash codecs originally (I realize it is not supported and not recommended) [04:52] Zelta the ~/.mozilla/firefox dir is config, you would need to look at /usr/lib/firefox would be more likely to resemble your ~/firefox [04:52] Hey guys whats up? [04:52] it would fall under discussions to the server team maybe, code_kill, but...yeah......whatever it falls under...this isnt the place. [04:52] simpletron: whichever has the intel wireless is the best choice [04:52] hey wikstrom [04:52] hey Wikstrom [04:52] Zelta that install is pretty safe [04:53] so whats the topic so far? [04:53] bastid_raZor: np [04:53] Wikstrom: read /topic [04:53] Well, .mp3 files crash Rythmbox music player, also, nikrud [04:53] code_kill: Maybe I'm just not understanding what you're saying. Like I said, you should bring it up in -offtopic [04:53] So I think it is not entirely Firefox's fault [04:53] Zelta heh. automatix does do things [04:53] Zelta have you tried linking that plugin into ~/firefox/plugins yet? [04:54] I just did [04:54] I will have to exit as I am using chatzilla. brb [04:56] so just by show of what every you feel like who is using beryl? === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [04:57] nikrud: I did it, but Firefox 3 still tells me I need the download a plugin [04:57] Did xChat just release a new version? [04:57] compiz-fusion is it now not beryl Wikstrom [04:57] Is there anything similar to boot camp (on os x) that runs on linux and will compile a list of drivers for my hardware to work with XP for a dual boot? [04:58] oh ya lol sorry [04:58] Zelta ls -l /etc/alternatives/firefox-plugin , is that red? [04:58] slip of the tounge [04:58] alabamahit: no [04:58] wine [04:58] No such file or directory [04:58] wine is a windows emularior [04:58] Emulator [04:58] iNoob: in a vm? or just a straight dual boot [04:58] Oh, I just insatlled it and it looks different than the first time i did, lol [04:58] Wikstrom: Wine Is Not an Emulator [04:58] :p [04:58] bazhang: straight dual boot [04:59] Zelta: is wine not an emulation layer for windows? :P [04:59] iNoob: not that I am aware of [04:59] iNoob: Technically, it lets it run natively [04:59] I think [04:59] Zelta hah! man, some installs seem to have that, some don't. Is ls /etc/alternatives/libjava_oji.so -l red? [04:59] Zelta: that's like saying zsnes isnt an emulator because once a game loads, it is running natively [04:59] iNoob: No, wine is not an emulator. Its an ABI compatability layer. [05:00] api [05:00] Flannel: OK :P I was just causing trouble [05:00] wine is a fake. [05:00] It's weird there is no User list on the right side anymore. Its on the bottom next to where you trype [05:00] What would be the best windows compatibility API to use to run photoshop? The problem I had with Wine was the fact that i couldnt make text for some reason [05:00] anywho.....I came here to ask a question about my display [05:00] nikrud: also, no such file or directory [05:01] alabamahit, just ask it :) [05:01] Zelta sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree , then check both again [05:01] Quick test to see if this client works [05:01] hey all, how can I turn on LBA support for my old machine (using a 250gb WD) [05:01] What do you suggest for running windows apps like Photoshop (CS or CS3 works) [05:01] nikrud: flashplugin-nonfree is already installed [05:02] It returns "flashplugin-nonfree is already the latest version" [05:02] iNoob: WINE does not support CS3 [05:02] Hello? [05:02] Is anybody here? [05:02] ya im here [05:02] FarmerBobGoesMoo: yes [05:02] Zelta: WINE doesnt seem to support CS either :-/ [05:02] Zelta ls -l /etc/alternatives/libjava* , is anything there?

I installed Xubuntu 8.04 on a separate partition and wireless card works there. This is now what I want to do: I want to upgrade from Ubuntu 7.10 to ubuntu 8.04 without using any CD discs. Would it be possible to somehow download all the required files for Ubuntu 8.04 while logged on to Xubuntu 8.04? [05:03] iNoob: CRT or LCD? [05:03] lcd [05:03] Zelta dang, I got a wrong test, do ls /etc/alternatives/*flash* [05:03] lol iNoob sounds the same as me LMAO [05:03] that...was strange [05:04] Mine is LCD also i think, lol [05:04] Yes, nikrud, that is there [05:04] #ubuntu+1 for that happy-sufferer thanks [05:04] Zelta ok, what did it return?

How can I fix this?

I am very confussed, sorry... [05:14] <[HeMp]> should i remove the restricted driver Atheros and use only madwifi ? [05:14] bazgang: I'm in ubuntu now, my wired connection is still not working. [05:14] help! [05:15] <[HeMp]> someone ? [05:15] <[HeMp]> help! [05:15] alabamahit: no worries here is the easiest method-- sudo apt-get install pastebinit then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit which will give you a url to paste here thanks [05:15] I have been asked to remaster a Ubuntu cd to include ClamAV >_> Is this easy? [05:15] Kartel_ could you try asking the question again, but with a little more detail? The first one wasn't very clear [05:15] ok friend trying to install battlefield [05:15] [hemp], can you try putting all that on ONE line and tell us again whats going on? [05:15] not working [05:15] ok [05:15] any ideas suggestions [05:15] <[HeMp]> ok [05:15] <[HeMp]> i edited kismet.conf [05:15] nikrud: Thanks a lot!:-D [05:15] i tried installing ubuntu on my system [05:15] bazhang: what does pastebinit do? exactly. Im diong that now but I want to learn linux :) what exactly does that do? [05:15] i have 2 300 gb hard drives [05:16] 5 partitions in all [05:16] he went through like you should do in sim city 4, put all disks on computer, and run [05:16] all ntfs [05:16] rav: try ifconfig in the terminal and see if that gives you eth0 and lo; if so then try sudo dhclient eth0 to connect [05:16] but not working [05:16] Kartel_ one line, please [05:16] k [05:16] where do I get w32codecs? [05:16] <[HeMp]> i do : sudo kismet -> and Server options: none [05:16] <[HeMp]> Client options: none [05:16] <[HeMp]> Starting server... [05:16] <[HeMp]> Suid priv-dropping disabled.

[05:16] high [05:16] palomer [05:16] whats the default dir for firmware b43? [05:16] my problem is when i try to install ubuntu onto my system it give me errors like this hd:error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x03 asc: 0x02 ascq:0x00 [05:16] alabamahit: that pastes whatever you pipe ( | ) to it and gives you a url to paste here--very handy indeed [05:16] have you tried sudo apt-cache search w32codecs [05:17] _ /lib/firmware? [05:17] Kartel_ basically you need to make a partition free for ubuntu to use, empty out one (at least 15gb) and go to the installer again [05:17] palomer have you tried sudo apt-cache search w32codecs [05:17] also, does anyone know if doing a hard shutdown in XP will stop me from mounting the NTFS partitions that Windows XP uses? [05:17] FAJALOU: no need for sudo there [05:17] i do have a free partition [05:17] Zelta: yes [05:17] ok, ill be back in a bit folks....something else needs my undivided attention. [05:17] Kartel_ is it a hardware raid thing? If so, I have to bow out, I've never used raid [05:17] Okay, just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong [05:17] i bazhang i just throw it in front of most, just in case [05:17] Zelta: You must shutdown properly. or else you a force mount [05:18] Problem is, XP takes around 10 minutes to shutdown >< [05:18] palomer: from www.medibuntu.org the install instructions are on the site [05:18] bazhang: so it uploads a file or just make taht file acessable for other peopel to view? [05:18] But I have a bigger hard drive problem [05:18] zelta do you dual boot or is it a one time deal? [05:18] Ubuntu will not recognize an external hard drive [05:18] FAJALOU: Dual boot [05:18] alabamahit: both if you paste the url here [05:18] The external hard drive works fine in XP, but isn't even shown in ubuntu [05:18] has anybody using ubuntu 8.04 had any success getting flash videos to work on firefox? [05:18] ok, well then you would have to force mount, which isn't the best zelta [05:19] well itgave these 2 other errors ( buffer I/O code error device, logical block 320985) and this one Squashfs error: unable to read page, block 2709d262 [05:19] amirman84: #ubuntu+1 for that please [05:19] when's ubuntu 8.04 coming out? [05:19] amirman84 hardy questions answered in #ubuntu+1 till release [05:19] friedtofu: three weeks [05:19] friedtofu: april 24 [05:19] bazgang: it says dhcpdiscover on eth0 255.255.255.255 on port 67 interval 4. then it says nobworking leases sleeping [05:19] thanks [05:19] FAJALOU: well, I can just boot into XP and shut down correctly, right? [05:19] bazhang Odd-rationale - thanks [05:20] nikrud what do these errors mean? [05:20] Zelta see you in a half hour ;) [05:20] yah that should work zelta, it worked for my 2000 partition after i accidently did a hard shutdown [05:20] bye nikrud [05:20] okay FAJALOU [05:20] http://paste.stgraber.org/2278 [05:20] Ok there is no one speaking in the other channels so can someone please help me with wine-doors, and cedega here? [05:20] Also, FAJALOU, do you know how I can get ubuntu to recognize an external hard drive I have plugged into via USB? [05:20] Kartel_ not sure without more context; failing drive? Poor connections? [05:20] at startup? [05:21] or just plug in? [05:21] bazhang: So basickally its just uploads a file to paste.stgraber.org [05:21] Just, any time [05:21] ? [05:21] But, yeah, at startup [05:21] rav I nearly missed your post--my nick is bazhang not bazbang ;] is this a router connected to a dsl modem or just direct to the dsl modem; also is this gutsy ubuntu? [05:21] i've never tried it, [05:21] Well, it's plugged in now, and ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize it [05:21] hmmm [05:21] It's not just not mounted, it just isn't shown [05:21] really??? is it just files? [05:21] let me try to play with my hardware [05:21] Yeah [05:21] I think it is NTFS partitioned [05:21] alabamahit: aye [05:21] formatted, rather [05:21] I still thing it should be bazang , has some pizzaz [05:21] Sorry closeed the wrong window [05:21] hmmm, b/c i can see my partition of ntfs fine on the partition zelta [05:21] one mroe question should i format the drive in fat 32 or ntfs to install ubuntu? [05:22] haha nickrud oops nikrud [05:22] try googling usb disk on startup [05:22] or something like that. [05:22] okay [05:22] Can someone help me set up Cedega? I went to wine-hq and the cedega channels and no one is talking. [05:22] and that should bring you to ubuntu forums [05:22] or at least some instruction [05:22] when in doubt google it [05:22] !google | FAJALOU [05:22] FAJALOU: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [05:22] is there a way i can copy the install cd to a flash drive and boot from that? my optical drive is broken [05:22] ~install | pepsi there's some instructions here I think [05:23] that's nice [05:23] !install | pepsi [05:23] pepsi: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [05:23] google-fu? [05:23] pepsi: if your computer bios allows it yes [05:23] <[HeMp]> TEW 443 PI need help setting kismet [05:23] FAJALOU: But how would I mount it while it is plugged in, not at startup? Just so I know it works [05:23] FAJALOU knowing what search terms to search for [05:23] here we go again [05:23] bazhang: sorry, I'm on my phone. I'm in 7.04. and I'm on a router that connects to a cable modem. I had ubuntu on old of and it worked fine. [05:23] FAJALOU: best not to refer people to google; if you dont know others may thanks [05:23] i need help with wpa_supplicant [05:23] bazhang: did you get the link? I was looking to that site looks good....Looks like you can edit the files for someone. [05:24] FAJALOU but offering good search terms as a teaching tool is encouraged ;) [05:24] <[HeMp]> Sefram: i need help setting kismet !! [05:24] I need help with Cedega. But I seem to have shelled out money on something that does nothing whatsoever. [05:24] alabamahit: did not see it; could you paste it here please? [05:24] i have a buddy who i was going to setup ubuntu for. he got a new machine that runs vista. it runs really slow as it only shipped with 512 megs [05:24] Steven1 the cedega site has support forums for paying customers iirc [05:24] bazhang: http://paste.stgraber.org/2278 [05:25] HeMp: sorry I dint tried kismet yet [05:25] alabamahit: thanks looking now [05:25] anyway, problem is, he only uses dialup. i checked the ubuntu hardware compatibility and it only listed 1 modem [05:25] hi every 1 [05:25] Oh ok. Cause the irc channels are dead for it. [05:25] Thanks nikrud [05:25] does ubuntu support other amd proccesors other than amd 64 ? [05:25] can anything bad happen if I force mount? [05:25] i would think so [05:25] I mean, probably there are bad things that COULD happen, but could anything happen realistically? [05:25] bazhang: Do you have to say the persons name with a : to highliht that post or just say there name in what you type. xChat is wht I'm using. [05:25] i know softmodems uses proprietary stuff, but i thought things must have settled by now [05:25] Also nikrud. Is Wine-doors the same as Cedega or is it a different program altogether? [05:25] i mean, how much can softmodems really be changing at this point? [05:26] HeMp: why not use airodump-ng? [05:26] mcquaid he should get a hardware modem with a uart chip, and hook it up to a serial port. Only really easy way to do do dialup in linux. [05:26] anyway i saw there are those commercial drivers. is that the only option? [05:26] Steven1 different I think, but don't take me as a wine expert. I think wine is a cheat [05:26] Steven1, Different program ( though forked from wine a long time ago Cediga is not wine ) [05:26] plus, Cedega costs money D: [05:26] nikrud, i saw that listed, i doubt he'll buy a modem for linux. new users don't understand that they can't use their existing hardware [05:26] any 1 here fun f@h on ubuntu cause i need help running it [05:27] ubotu: wpa_supplicant pid [05:27] anyway, doesn't ndiswrapper use the binary drivers to make wireless nics work? couldn't the same thing be applied to modems? [05:27] That wasn't the question though Jordan_U. I was asking if Cadega and Wine-doors are the same prog. Not wine. [05:27] meaning windows binary drivers [05:27] mcquaid some software modems do work, you can go to linmodems.org for the latest info [05:27] bahang: I'm on 7.04 and I have a router with cable modem. my old pc worked with my Internet. [05:27] linmodems sells their drivers [05:27] Stephen1: No, they are not the same [05:27] Ok thanks [05:28] bazhang* [05:28] Steven1, I know, and I was saying that they are not, but because wine-doors uses wine they are very similar and share some code [05:28] Steven1: Wine-Doors is to be used in conjunction with WINE [05:28] ubotu: where can i find wpa_supplicant start script? [05:28] alabamahit: you can usually just type three or four letters then hit tab to complete their name like I do alab for your name and you can see the highlight--you say the res is really low on that monitor--how did you install the drivers and perhaps you might want to try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg the horizsync and vertrefresh seem a bit on the low side [05:28] mcquaid I think you're thinking of a different group. conexant sells their drivers, but you can get a free one that works up to 14.4 I think [05:28] Steven1: It is basically a package management system for Windows Apps insatlled in WINE [05:28] okay... where is this? Go to the Run dialog in Gnome [05:29] sjovan: Alt+F2 [05:29] ubotu:wpa_supplicant [05:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about wpa_supplicant - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:29] Steven1: thanks [05:29] Sefram: in the /etc directory [05:29] rav: any reason not to try out gutsy livecd and see if that catches your ethernet? also could you pastebin your sources.list [05:29] Your welcome [05:29] alright:) [05:30] awsome! anda a Fish: Go to the Run dialog in Gnome and type "free the fish.” Click the Run button [05:30] ah well. it's shame, lots of us are on highspeed but there is probably a good chunk of people on dialup that can't use linux [05:30] what is a good game to play here ? [05:30] IcemanV9 : yes i know but i need to manage the pid files for wpa_supplicant from inside my shell script. Do you have any ideas how to do that? [05:30] im seriously bored of tron [05:30] mcquaid I lived on dialup for a long time, but I did buy a hardware modem ;) [05:31] tocmo0nlord: do you play alien arena 08 [05:31] lol [05:31] wtf is my IRC window resizing on its own? [05:31] tocmo0nlord: that is offtopic here--check the ubuntuforums gaming section thanks [05:31] nikrud, maybe i'm mistaken i'll check linmodems again, but i don't see anywhere what modems are supported and what drivers are avail. there is a list but the link is dead [05:31] nikrud, yes good old hardware isa modems [05:31] Where can I get a list of obotu commands to be used with the preceding "!"? [05:31] yeah [05:31] i think it supports power pc [05:31] Sefram: pgrep wpa ? [05:31] !help [05:31] 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 [05:32] Zelta: you can /msg ubotu in a private message or go to his home ;] [05:32] whoa [05:32] but if you need some weird hardware like mipsel or mips, try debian [05:32] Thanks [05:32] a game for linux thats 160mb!!! [05:32] thats crazy [05:32] bazhang: Um...I installed it orgianally with the install of ubuntu a window opened on first boot letting me enable it....Then oiut fo now where it started doing that weird stuff. Its like the refresh rate is wrong...the screen is wiggling (jumping) === TheDarkBGM is now known as SuperSayjin [05:32] only 160mb [05:32] Wow that was simple enough. I can't believe I didn't get it sooner. It was just 'gksudo cedega' lol [05:32] offtopic alteregoa [05:33] i used judo or taek [05:33] === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [05:34] alteregoa: please read /topic thanks [05:34] IcemanV9: i need the pid of the process for a specific interface, pidof or pgrep only gives me pids of all running processes... [05:34] Well thanks guys. I'm gonna logout now so I can conserve resources. [05:34] whats the maximum speed supported for pppod and evdo ? [05:34] anyone know of a free fat32 recovery tool? [05:35] z987k recovery of what? [05:35] i put 1000000 but it says its not supported on the logs [05:35] a file that was deleted [05:35] Sefram: ah. well. check /var/run directory [05:35] IcemanV9: When i start something from within a shell script: is there a way to get the pid of this child process? [05:35] z987k sec PM [05:35] z987k, tried trash bin? [05:35] Sefram; ps aux|grep something [05:35] yeah... it's a flash drive [05:36] oh hell lol [05:36] well [05:36] sec [05:36] should work the same though right? [05:36] IcemanV9: there is ./wpa_supplicant/eth1 but no pid files [05:36] haahaha. sudo apt-get moo [05:37] Sefram: dhclient.eth1.pid [05:37] well i cant say that [05:38] IcemanV9: yes but that is not wpa_supplicant ? [05:38] Hi, how can I flush the dns? [05:38] most recovery tools that i know will recovery from FAT FAT32 NTFS and EXT2 [05:38] Riekal: it hasn't been written to since and hasn't been unplugged yet [05:38] bazhang: I did that command...it would appear that it didn't do anything [05:38] alabamahit: with a restart? [05:38] oh [05:38] brb [05:38] sorry [05:38] Riekal: got a name of a program I can look at? [05:39] sjovan; how do you stop the fish from coming back? [05:40] bastid_raZor: i haven't figured that part out yet :P i'm going to ps aux | grep <--- to finde out. btw, that's a easter egg from gnome :) [05:40] sjovan; i tried finding it that way.. no joy :\ [05:41] is there a release date in April for 8.04?

[05:51] oh what resolution [05:51] bazhang: I dont know what resolution...i have always used 1024 [05:52] IcemanV9: `ps -aux | grep "wpa_supplicant start arguments"` or sth like that would do the job, but ps -aux is not available at my target platform... [05:52] bazhang: Do you think an older version of ubunut would be better? im useing 7.10 === TheDarkBGM is now known as SuperSayjin [05:53] `ok [05:53] ok* [05:54] Adantan_Alex: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for idle chit-chat thanks [05:54] how can I stop from getting updates of all the languages? [05:54] alabamahit: extremely doubtful that would do it [05:55] what? no im working on ubuntu [05:55] bazhang: Fresh start? maybe? [05:55] bazhang: Maybe i messed somethign up on install? [05:55] i got problems too [05:55] when my install is complete [05:55] whenever i send my screen output to the tv (through s-video) for a second time, the tv image becomes black and white - anyone has an idea how that can be fixed? [05:56] it stops [05:56] alabamahit: try the livecd and see if that catches it; cant imagine what you could have done as long as you did not use envy or automatix which both can breakage [05:57] Adantan_Alex: please describe your issue with some precision and if someone knows they will help [05:57] bazhang: what is envy or automatiz? [05:57] alabamahit: system-breakers [05:57] Hello, I am having immense trouble getting the MIME type video/divx added to firefox. Firefox is set up to use mplayer on my machine.

I have been trying to find a way using smb to set specific user permissions on specific folders does anyone know how to do that? [05:59] * nikrud hides from bazhang's pointy stick [05:59] ok so when my installation of ubuntu gets to 100 percent [05:59] it doesnt do anything soz for the enter [06:00] Adantan_Alex you'd better clear some space before you do that [06:00] what? i got 20 gigabytes [06:00] Adantan_Alex ah, misunderstood [06:00] Adantan_Alex read that as you're 20gb getting full from use [06:00] then when i restart it sais filed to boot Oprating System [06:00] How can I get I get firefox to use mplayer to handle embeds of type video/divx [06:01] drewby install mozilla-mplayer , and remove totem-mozilla [06:01] how ever i did fix that.... twice i also checked discs and no problems [06:01] IcemanV9: thx anyways... [06:01] Adantan_Alex: try entering the grub menu [06:01] anyone any good with smb? [06:01] Adantan_Alex it got to the point opening the cd drive and saying to remove the disk and reboot? [06:01] nikrud: I'm using mozilla-mplayer. [06:02] drewby did you remove totem-mozilla? [06:02] the second time.... [06:02] yes [06:02] gnome-appearance-properties on mine just freezes, any config files or debug mode where it can dump to log files? [06:02] first time i tried the alternate CD [06:02] drewby Works for Me™, every time [06:02] the second time i tried the live CD [06:02] anyone here know about ppp over ssh? [06:02] how ever i did fix that.... twice i also checked discs and no no problems [06:02] n3urogod now that is one strange question [06:03] ComputerPassion-> have you tried to read up a lil bit on samba or tutorials on samba? [06:03] nikki8965, why do you say that [06:03] oops [06:03] nikrud, why do you say that? [06:03] whos helping me? lol [06:03] n3urogod since you already have a net connection in order to use ssh? [06:03] hi, I have a dual monitor problem [06:03] s/in order to/since you/ [06:03] nikrud, Im talking about ppp-ssh tunneling [06:03] it's fine. I forgot I was in here [06:03] my second monitor is supposed to run at 1440 x 900 [06:03] nikrud: Mplayer will play divx files when they're presented with a mime type of mp4, but firefox doesn't even have an entry in about:plugins for video/divx [06:04] but only runs at 1152 x 864 [06:04] omg i need help.... [06:04] can someone help me? [06:04] amenado yes but i can't seem to find anything where you can say like user a and user b can have access to folder apple [06:04] how do you whipser i can't remember [06:04] n3urogod-> you proly want something like a secure tunnelling? [06:05] drewby: you need to enable, within firefox, the ability to change how it handles mimetypes [06:05] I'm sure this is dead obvious, but I'm drawing a blank: how do I delete all files matching a particular wildcard mask from the all subdirectories of a particular directory? In MSDOS it's DEL /S *.FOO but what is it in bash? [06:05] ComputerPassion-> but that is not samba, folder access is a security feature of a filesystem [06:05] taime1: thank you, could you perhaps give me just a bit more direction on how to do that? [06:05] i need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is good [06:05] amenado, yeah, I have followed the tutorial on this page http://www.jfranken.de/homepages/johannes/vortraege/ssh2_inhalt.en.html....but I am getting "modem hangup" "connection terminated" when I try and connect it [06:05] bazhang ever had one of those days when nearly every time you swing, you miss? [06:05] i need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when th [06:05] i need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when th [06:05] i need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is goodi need help i tried installing ubuntu but when th [06:05] well smb allows you to share i thought it would let you set access like that too? === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [06:06] nikrud: aye most days ;] [06:06] drewby: yeah, you need to type in about:config in the adress bar.. but i forget what the otpion is... and there are LOTS of them.. lemme see if i can find it [06:06] ComputerPassion-> better read up on that samba again, [06:06] well if smb doesn't do that when i go to permissions it doesn't let me change anything [06:07] is there any software similar or same vnc for ubuntu [06:07] strange [06:07] yeah [06:07] i think i know whats going on... its a windows drive... only root can change permissions [06:07] on them [06:08] and i could just set up user groups for each share type? [06:08] tifine: what's wrong with vnc? [06:08] ... Never mind, worked it out: find DIRECTORY -name MASK -delete [06:08] kindofabuzz, how to get it on ubuntu [06:08] <--- using vnc (ubuntu runs on my server) [06:09] tifine: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402 [06:09] drewby: you still there? [06:09] taime1: yessir [06:09] *or ma'am [06:09] What does the command -y before apt-get install does? [06:10] it means default answer is yes ygor_abreu [06:10] to any question that is a yes or no question [06:10] vinagre [06:10] vinagre is something like vnc [06:10] alan_m:so..doesnt matter write that down or not right? [06:10] going to try kde4 back soon ;] [06:11] drewby: okay, its either "plugin override internal types" or "plugin expose full path" its about 2/3 the way down the list and you need to double click it to toggle it to "true" [06:11] what is kde4? [06:11] ygor_abreu: hang on, you said -y BEFORE apt-get install? [06:11] alan_m:thats right.. [06:12] alan_m:like: apt-get install -y virtualbox [06:12] anyone know "Terminal Server Client" is? i mean, is that the name of that package? or is it something else? [06:12] apt-get --help [06:12] ygor_abreu, that would be -y AFTER apt-get install [06:12] taime1: thanks [06:12] ok, that means when it asks you are you sure you wish to install it it will answer the question with yes, and go on installing it without asking you. [06:12] taime1: i think that's tightvnc [06:12] any other questions ygor_abreu [06:13] alan_m: ahh ok..got it..well nothing else mate..thx! [06:13] alan.... hey m8 [06:13] kindofabuzz: its not. in fact, i just gave up on tightvnc.. its so slow compared to the others such as x11vnc and the terminal server client.. thats why i was wondering what terminal server client was.. its smokin fast [06:13] ygor_abreu: you can find options for commands by putting --help after them [06:13] what is kde4? [06:14] alabamahit: are you serious? if you are.. then google it [06:14] i need help i tried installing ubuntu but when the installation gets to 100 percent it stops i checked the disc and it is good [06:14] taime1: it may just be the graphical part of vncclient [06:14] how can i enable a remote control? [06:14] kindofabuzz:thanks! [06:14] taime1: i just started linux lastnight... [06:14] kindofabuzz: vncclient is its own package? like bittorrent is the name of a bittorrent client? [06:14] alabamahit: kde is another window manager [06:15] taime1: yes [06:15] alabamahit: sorry guy. its a desktop environment like gnome (the one ubuntu uses by default) [06:15] kindofabuzz: cool beans man, thanks [06:15] oh well i will just stick with windows.... [06:15] oh is there another channel to talk in...i know this is ment to be a help channel. [06:15] taime1: xvnc4viewer [06:16] maybe [06:16] Adantan_Alex: have you rebooted? [06:16] hello all....need steps to install java...can anyone direct me ? [06:16] i tried this with alternate CD and live CD [06:16] kindofabuzz: haha, this is what i get for trying to satisfy my curiosity [06:16] checked the discs as well and no problems [06:16] magicsword: install jre [06:17] Adantan_Alex, you might get some more help if you actually provide some info [06:17] thats the thing i dont know what to put [06:17] ok...I am nubbie can you give more info [06:17] kindofabuzz: alls i know, is i cannot BELIEVE how slow tight is compared to all others.. i always liked it before... but it gets a big thumbs down as client and server [06:18] oh there was more [06:18] when i restarted it said failed to boot Operating System but i fixed that [06:18] Adantan_Alex, what does "stop" mean....is it errroring or just doing nothing...is it totally crashed (num lock wont work or turn off) or it just doesn't *seem* to be progressing [06:18] just stayed at 100 % [06:18] anybody have anybody have any problems ffmpeg regarding the conversion of .flv to .mpg? [06:18] Adantan_Alex, and how long did you leave it for? [06:18] magicsword: yes, System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager. then search for jre, then the rest is kinda self explanatory [06:19] probbly 30 minutes on 100 percent [06:19] taime1: so its kinda just like ubuntu? [06:19] Adantan_Alex, can you swap to a second console and see if it is actually doing something? [06:19] alabamahit: join #hinkle [06:19] what? [06:20] ill talk to you in there [06:20] alabamahit: ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu uses kde, but you can put gnome or kde on anything [06:20] google it [06:23] netslpit or something, i see no one talking [06:23] well no one can help me ^^ [06:25] hay guys how do I set the root password through the command line im on ubuntu server 7.10 and im trying to use apt-get but i cant because im not root and I havent set a pass for it yet [06:26] !root | Jorda1 [06:26] Jorda1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:26] hi [06:26] how do i rename my iPod?

[06:42] and Steve Ballmer [06:42] no !ot ?!! [06:42] wtf!? Operating System [06:42] !coc | taime1 [06:42] taime1: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [06:42] .... [06:42] Oh... [06:42] !ot [06:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:42] cjzjm100: shouldn't be [06:42] cjzjm100, wait for the stable release of Hardy [06:42] people in this channel only speak through ubotu [06:42] its pathetic [06:42] taime1 last warning [06:42] though I must say that going from 7.04 to 7.10 killed my wireless drivers [06:42] at least you spoke directly to me this time [06:42] because we run into a lot like you, so the canned responses are useful :) [06:42] taime1: if you dont like it then leave [06:43] taime1: not really, it saves a lot of time dealing with the same old faq's [06:43] yeah, thats true [06:43] taime1 mainly because I have little time for this, and you need to read that I think [06:43] 7.10 was an experimental release of Ubuntu [06:43] im not the one asking questions [06:43] yeah, true [06:43] but thanks for wasting your time on me [06:44] Well, I just hope hardy hardens up soon.. major breakage yesterday!! [06:44] taime1 I'm not wasting my time on you, I'm attempting to maintain a little civility in the channel. You can assist, or find somewhere else to call someone an ass [06:44] that bad eh? [06:44] lottai was calling it like it is.. and you are wasting your time.. like right now [06:44] Yeah, half of OOo and all the restricted drivers in the latest kernel upgrade [06:44] typo** [06:45] ouch [06:45] any word as to improvements to wireless? [06:45] yeah in Hardy CyberCod [06:45] Oh yeah.. and my wireless hasn't worked since I upgraded :) but I blame broadcom, they always sucked anyhow [06:45] CyberCod-> what chip does your wifi have? [06:45] CyberCod, just from personal experience, wireless dies on suspend/resume [06:46] just use Ethernet in the mean time [06:46] five different ones, actually [06:46] atheros, broadcom mostly [06:46] what does the command scollkeeper-up do? [06:46] I have a rt2400 card and a USB one (can't recall what chipset) so I am not short of options anyhow [06:46] incredibly painful when trying to get online quickly at school to grab a file from home [06:46] and why is it using 90% of my processor? [06:46] cat's are going nuts.. must be a storm on the way [06:47] skyhook did you try --help ? [06:47] I've often wondered the same, its obviously a house-keeping task [06:47] CyberCod-> choose atheros, i had no luck yet with broacom [06:47] skyhook: open a terminal and type top [06:47] theres no command button on normal keyboards [06:47] skyhook: did you check if your running anything? [06:47] skyhook: it will quit in 4-5 minutes. [06:47] I got broadcom working ok via ndiswrapper, but I prefer not to go that route if possible [06:47] yes,i will wait for the stable one!I just want to know can i update directly,not doing the re-installation! I heard that it will lead some problem. [06:48] I hate ndis.. I used to have the card working with bcm43xx-fwcutter but no luck this time [06:48] CyberCod-> it maybe the only choice you got with broadcom chips.. [06:48] Hey i have a PCI-E HD 2600 XT Radeon, how do i get the visual effects to work? i used envy to install the ati driver, but everytime i click on "normal visual effects" it says the composite extension is not enabled, but i just enabled it in xorg.conf, how do i do this? [06:48] skyhookhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/scrollkeeper [06:48] driving me nuts [06:48] andb: thanks [06:48] you can upgrade yes cjzjm100 .... but no one can guarantee that there will be no problems [06:48] skyhook: its indexing the documents for the fast indexing. [06:48] cjzjm100: IMHO it is better to start with a fresh install, so keep it in mind if your upgrade process leaves your machine buggy... a fresh install might not have the same issues [06:48] anyhow, I need to go burn an openSUSE and get familiar with it.. TTFN BBL [06:48] is there such a thing as peer guardian ip blocker in windows for ubuntu? [06:49] skyhook: can be disabled if you dont want it [06:49] zcat[1] try booting if off your hd, no need to burn [06:49] Viktor that card SUCKS on Ubuntu I had it in my PC 2 weeks ago and the problems I have been getting is just ridiculous [06:49] i was going to update from 7.10 to the beta [06:49] Need Help on Totem. Totem is not playing Live mms streams. I'm using Hardy. Strangely in 7.10 totem is working correctly. Am I missing something? [06:49] hahaa! The time has come to permanently erase my xp!!! [06:49] but a fresh install is better then ?? [06:50] andb: I was more just curious, it wasnt actually affecting my computers performance or anything [06:50] MagoonD: yes. [06:50] maek i know im pulling my hair out as we speak [06:50] andb what is it called [06:50] Ray_ try #ubuntu+1 for hardy questions, they're handling it till release [06:50] maek did you manage to get the visual effects working? [06:50] MagoonD: peerguardian :) was originally linux. though be careful to make update scripts. [06:50] cause i sure as hell cant :S [06:50] nikrud : thanks [06:50] andb: thanks for the answer [06:50] Viktor, just take out the card and sell it and get a NVIDIA card (what I did) [06:50] :) andb sorry should have googled it first [06:50] MagoonD: it has to dload and restart every night... [06:51] andb oh i see how come [06:51] no problem.. [06:51] NVIDIA cards are a hell of a lot better in Linux than ATI cards [06:51] not an option unfortunatly, im a student, and cant afford my food this week, so doing that would mean i have no computer to work with for my studys [06:51] there must be a way around this [06:51] peerguradan is a bit easier on windows, but if you put it on a servre and just leav it, it is great. [06:51] I also do torrents with azureus on the server, but only command line interface.

[07:09] are you getting weird lines on YouTube video ?? [07:09] pretty easy fix, but unfortunately it's hardly ever mentioned [07:09] Daisuke_Ido doesn't that only control gstreamer, not vlc ? [07:09] yeah only gstreamer [07:10] nikrud, yes, but if we're talking about anything other than vlc... [07:10] oh well, now i see the lag, damn my AGP card ran better then this lmao [07:10] MPlayer uses gstreamer ?? [07:10] Daisuke_Ido yup. I dislike totem dvd playback (no menus) so I always go to vlc or mplayer [07:10] maek no, ffmpeg iirc [07:11] nikro, oh, i would definitely stick with vlc for dvd playback :) [07:11] yeah try mplayer Viktor [07:11] hey all, newbie here, i've looked at tutorials and all, been all over the net, i guess my brain isn't so fast after a;;. can someone please walk me through now to install a package i download? thanks in advance. [07:11] maek not even ffmpeg, it does it all itself [07:11] onefunk what kind of package is it? [07:11] onefunk, what package? [07:11] onefunk-> did you use synaptic? [07:12] onefunk, either SYSTEM > ADMINISTRATION > SYNAPTIC PACKAGE MANAGER ... or for simple programs APPLICATIONS > ADD REMOVE [07:12] onefunk, what file is it [07:13] yay another Internodian [07:13] onefunk: you didn't look very hard if you can't find a site to tell you how to install a linux package [07:14] do the unbuntu have softwares for electronics and embedded which included by Debian [07:14] if its a .deb package = very easy ... if its a tar.gz or a .run file = very difficult [07:14] cjzjm100 most likely, ubuntu syncs with debian unstable for each release [07:15] how do i switch back to the ubuntu restricted nvidia module once ive compiled one from nvidia? [07:16] Adantan_Alex: it wasn't a driver problem after all... just needed to config the audio output... eh ty anyway [07:16] Hi, how can I flush the dns? [07:17] jiggle the handle [07:17] hey all, it's a bunch of stuff and i keep getting error msgs, at the moment i just want to install yahoo messenger. i know, i know, but right now i don't have much latitude and have to do it. [07:17] =) [07:17] =P [07:17] is there even a yahoo for linux? i recommend pidgin onefunk [07:17] kindofabuzz, hah, honestly i am this slow. i looked, i tried and i keep getting error msgs. [07:18] from? [07:18] onefunk: please specify your error messages when installing [07:19] what are you trying to install? [07:19] bazhang, hello,there, [07:19] kindofabuzz, well first i tried synaptic, that i'm cluesless at. then i tried the command line and that's where i got the msgs. [07:19] icesword: hello [07:20] bazhang, gimme a couple secs, brb [07:20] onefunk: what are you installing? what's hard about synaptic? you just tell it what to install and hi apply [07:20] Silly question, why does the update manager ask for a password to check for updates, whereas it automatically checks for updates itself without asking for one? [07:20] onefunk: any reason not to install something compatible with yahoo messenger instead of their buggy client? [07:20] don't install that yahoo for unix, looks very old [07:21] Adys: simple system security [07:21] onefunk: for the 3rd time, what are you installing? [07:21] bazhang: id understand that if it wasnt doing it automatically itself :) [07:21] ikonia: the file association issue with Adobe AIR on Gutsy has been fixed. Adobe has provided a solution which works on the Adobe AIR for Linux forum. [07:21] kindofabuzz: calm down please [07:21] hehehe [07:21] Adys because when its checking for updates it doesn't touch the system files [07:21] i'm calm, you calm down [07:22] ikonia: apparently they use Hardy at Adobe for testing purposes and they didn't encounter such an issue. [07:22] Adys: aye but to access it you need to enter a password [07:22] kindofabuzz, with all due respect, i repeat, i am installing yahoo messenger. [07:22] Touch the system files = password please [07:22] onefunk: do not install yahoo messenger, it's very old version wise compared to the windows newest version [07:23] erm well, for what i saw you need a password to upgrade (normal), to update (ok..), and not to see the updates (normal aswell), however it doesnt ask for one when its automatically updating the lists [07:23] * Adys shrugs [07:23] kindofabuzz, cool, so i'll try in pidgin then? [07:23] onefunk: try pidgin, go to getdeb.net and search for pidgin, there are 3 files you get, and they all auto install [07:23] onefunk, you are downloading a Windows executable ... you need WINE in order to see if it can run on Linux [07:23] Adys: you can configure its behaviour there as well [07:24] mmh okay [07:24] is pidgin not in the repos? [07:24] maek: well there is a yahoo messenger unix client, but like i said, looks like it was forgotten 3 versions ago [07:24] bazhang: afaik 2.4 is not in the repo, an old one is [07:24] bazhang yeah it is but getdeb has the newst version [07:24] Adys: and newer is always better right? ;] [07:24] maek, no no i downloaded a package and it got as far as allowing me to install and then... full stop. i'll give pidgin a try. thanks [07:24] yeah [07:24] lol [07:25] muh =P [07:25] 2.4 is indeed better imo :) [07:25] just look at Vista! [07:25] onefunk: http://www.getdeb.net/ [07:25] Vista? I installed windows 3.1 Im fine with that [07:25] Hey, i have a question : if I install an Ubuntu this weekend, should I choose Gutsy and upgrade when Hardy is out, or should I install Hardy beta ? [07:25] haha oops getting offtopic here [07:26] abompard: the stable version gutsy [07:26] abompard: new to linux? get gutsy [07:26] abompard: your choice, hardy still crashes once in a while overall its pretty stable. [07:26] abompard, wait till Hardy Heron is out [07:26] kindofabuzz, yup, thanks, got it installed, will give it a shot. cheers [07:26] if you're new to linux you probably should install gutsy yea :) [07:26] np [07:26] I cant wait (someones comes from across the country...) [07:26] not worth installing Gusty ATM imo [07:26] bazhang, thanks [07:27] onefunk: if you have any questions kindofabuzz will be waiting ;] [07:27] lol [07:27] ;] [07:27] anyone have firsthand experience with nvidia 8800GT OC drivers?

I think I removed myself from "adm" group and other important groups by usermod -G. How can I correct this? [08:12] eax: becasue of the "," you should use "." or change the language settings [08:12] Needing help with copying entire contents of a disc to hard drive... the cp equivalent of copy *.* /s in winblows [08:12] ifirefeball: Thanks Trying it now :) [08:12] I'm planning on reinstalling Windows...

[08:14] he can't udo eax [08:14] sudo [08:14] kindofabuzz: Why not? [08:14] hello there [08:14] eax: yes i know, but I think you have to be part of the adm and admin groups to do that [08:14] because he can't that's his problem [08:14] alabamahit: just create regular files that look like what you want to be your templates and place them there [08:15] hello [08:15] danuel_ Kan you go into the Users And Groups menu? [08:15] i want to install ubuntu on seperate HDD, when i restart my pc and ubuntu want me to install , when press install i cant get LIVE CD contents? why is that?

[08:16] could not authenticate [08:16] bazhang: That's the keyword I was lookin' for. Thanks :) [08:16] eax: that depends on what you have in B4... [08:16] matyy: why would you want to do that [08:17] bazhang: I am playing EVE Online using wine, works great, but I cannot chat with my chinese Friends. [08:17] SanitariuM, i'm assuming that's because you have spaces in your filenames there -- you can use something like this -- find "/media/My Disc" -print0 | xargs -0 cp -t "/media/disk/Music" (do test this out first as i havent) [08:17] yahuuu: your message is a bit difficult to understand--you installed on an external hd or copied the files there? and grub does not come up? what exact errors are you getting--please be precise [08:17] hi... how do you install apache2 or any server for that matter on gutsy (8.04). I tried apt-cache search and got nothing [08:18] When I try operations in gui that asks for pw (e.g. update) and put in my pw it says "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window' '--non-interactive' '--parent-window-id' '33554435' '--update-at-startup' as user root. [08:18] The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator." [08:18] Ifireball: What do you mean? [08:19] matyy: the likelihood of using scim (linux) in wine (ms) on top of linux have to be exceedingly small--why not run something else in wine that supports chinese language [08:19] geekaholic, wait for the stable version [08:19] _reuben: I'll try the recovery mode [08:19] bazhang: i having 2 HDD in pc, in 1 windowsXo and want ubuntu in other, simple is that when i restart my pc and put ubuntu cd in dvd rom, i cant install ubuntu [08:19] SanitariuM, this might actually be better - find "/media/My Disk" -depth -print | cpio -pamVd "/media/disk/Music" [08:19] geekaholic: "aptitude search apache" should give you a whole pile of stuff [08:19] you shouldn't be running a webserver on beta software [08:19] yahuuu: set it in the bios to look for cd first [08:19] it read the CD [08:19] eax: if the "B4" cell contain zero (or nothing) that that formula will give you 0 [08:19] bazhang: yeah, that's what I am looking for right now. [08:20] how do you change the font used for the application menu? [08:20] but when i press install ubuntu, it shows black (DOS) like screen and cant start the ubutu [08:20] yahuuu: saying I cant do it is very unclear--what exact errors are you getting? [08:20] ifireball: Ooh thanks :) It contains the value 526,3 [08:20] hello,i want to know about this,if i rename some *.key file to txt,then edit it,then delete it,and after some one use recover app to recover it,then it will be a damaged file,right [08:20] it says root is not specity and something like that , i am not fimiliar with linux [08:21] ifireball: sorry, I'm back now. [08:21] anyone here knows a dvd mounting program? i have a dvd image and i'd like to mount it [08:21] ifireball: yes, I've set it up. and smbclient -L localhost times out [08:21] cristi1990, Ubuntu should do that out of the box [08:21] * snuck dances [08:21] cristi1990, funnily enough "mount" does that by default [08:21] yahuuu: sounds like a problem with the media, too fast burn speed, or corrupt iso; you can check the md5 sum, try burning again at lower speed, and/or try different quality (better) media [08:22] its the origiona CD's from canonial [08:22] n3urogod: loool ok [08:22] ifireball: I've changed my hostname. it gives this error when I change 'localhost' to my host name: Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused) [08:22] hangon no it doesn't [08:22] Peddy: sounds like a firewall thing, like the port is somehow blocked, make sure "sudo iptables-save" doesn't return anything please [08:22] yahuuu: could you pastebin the exact error message you get; then you can get help here [08:22] Ifireball: It contains the value 526,3 [08:23] bazhang: HDD is formated in windowsXP and its totally empty [08:23] !paste | yahuuu [08:23] yahuuu: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[08:23] icesword, errm, recover which file tho -- the .key or the .txt? [08:23] . [08:23] eax: again the "," makes it be a string in OOo's eyese, so it 0 in numeric terms [08:23] ifireball: it does return something.

[08:24] hi all. is it possible to use remote control with mplayer? [08:24] happy-sufferer: nay; there are many ways you can /msg ubotu install for more info and links [08:24] Peddy: ok. that looks fine (everything is set to accept) [08:24] _ruben: thanks recovery worked ... I did "usermod -G adm,admin daniel" and now thing are ok...now i have to add myself to all the default Groups ... do you know what they're or a link to them? [08:24] eax: in B4 as well?

[08:25] unop, i hope you understand what i mean [08:25] <_maw> anyone know how to convert dcf files to mp3? [08:25] <_ruben> danuel: glad it worked, but wouldnt know of a list of default groups [08:25] happy-sufferer: but it will mean a complete wipe of the old system, cd or no [08:25] Peddy: what do you mean you've changed your hostname? [08:25] Ifireball: Yeah :) It didn't, but I found the error. It was a human error 100% ;) thanks a lot for your help :) It's awesome there are people like you out there :) [08:25] hello everybody [08:25] bazhang: i don't mind. 8-) [08:26] _ruben: ok thanks. [08:26] anyone using tomcat with ubuntu? I just installed it but pointing to localhost:8180 gives me nothing [08:26] Anybody please?. is it possible to use my remote control with mplayer? or with any remote? [08:26] ifireball: so its not peddy@localhost or w/e but peddy@moonshine (name of pc) [08:26] ifireball: could this problem be with my router? [08:26] n3urogod: wtf i don't have the mount option if i right click it idk [08:26] xukun: your computer has IR? then perhaps but not sure about mplayer [08:27] hi! is it normal i can view the files in windows that i already deleted using ubuntu os? [08:27] icesword, if you want to securely delete a file, use something like shred to overwrite the file with some random data -- to answer your original question, if someone recovers a file, it's probably recovered to it's last state .. if you edit a file and save it to disk, there is no guarantee that it will take up it's original location on disk === macsim_ is now known as macsim`work [08:27] cristi1990, do you know what a command prompt is? [08:27] Peddy: where did you change it? did you bother rebooting afterwards? as long as we're using "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 in our commands, the router has nothing to do with it [08:27] n3urogod: oh i mount it with terminal xD [08:28] unop, you know,if you deleted some file,and don't rewrite that location of the file,then recover is possible,i want some cannot recover the file,how thax [08:28] ifireball: do you think I should enter my machine's name in the WINS server settings on my router? and I changed it a very long time ago (so yes, it has rebooted) [08:28] ifireball: well, my machines IP address [08:28] icesword: he told you use shred [08:28] what's the Ubuntu equivalent of Step 3, 4, and 5 on http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html?

See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [08:48] I tried envy, but it failed for me [08:48] l0tU5: do not recommend that here [08:48] sorry vegpuff it should be Edit Bookmarks [08:49] Peddy: ok. looks better. now check in "smbclient -L localhost" work for you [08:49] I have tried nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy, and nvidia-glx-new, but it ALWAYS throws me into low-res mode and doesn't work [08:49] l0tU5, well, how well can you ping a host on the internet? ping google.com [08:49] Whats wrong with it? [08:49] How can I stop X? [08:49] ifireball: Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused) [08:49] Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) [08:49] mikedoty, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop [08:49] When I try killing the process ID it reports X to be using, it just takes me back to log in to gnome [08:50] where ? is either gdm or kdm, depending on what you have mikedoty [08:50] Hello [08:50] Ok, thanks unop_. I'll give that a shot and see if it will install the driver [08:50] ifireball: I tried restarting samba, it gives me this: start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 8436: No such process [08:50] Ok, gnome it is. [08:50] bazhang: what is xserver sir? i'm a newbie and i only want to enhance the looks of my desktop using docks. [08:50] in my .ssh/know_hosts file I don't see the IP of the server , is it possible to change somehow the file#s format ? [08:50] happy-sufferer: do you plan on using xubuntu in the future? if not then delete it; if so then update (the install size wont be that big) [08:50] Peddy, doesn't look like the samba services are staying alive [08:51] Peddy: hmm... it might have not been running after all... re-try smbclient [08:51] <|DuReX|> I got a new tv card, Hauppauge HVR-1300, seems like its getting seen perfectly in ubuntu dmesg output :http://pastebin.com/m61491e91 but I'm getting errors and can't use it :( [08:51] Does anyone know to have a sort of dynamic line for the swap in the fstab? my drive letter gets changed every single boot... [08:51] gooody: no graphics card means no shiny gui desktop just a dos-like command line--is that true for you? [08:51] ifireball: ok, it gives me shares now. [08:51] bazhang: no, i don't plan on using xubuntu [08:51] Peddy: weird that the pgrep command we've run before found processes [08:52] Gruelius...drive letter gets changed....what do you mean by this? [08:52] Gruelius, drive letter? :)) [08:52] ifireball: a list of shares. also, in places>network there is a weird file called smb-workgroup-MyFiles [08:52] unop_/dev/hdx3 [08:52] Gruelius, what kind of drive is this? a removable one [08:52] bazhang: but what other stuff should i not install. I can tell that I don't want to install XUBUNTU, because the package name is obvious, but what about others that I am not aware of? [08:52] ? [08:52] its a physicall drive [08:52] attatched to a PCI ide controller [08:52] and there are two controllers [08:52] they like to swap [08:52] ifireball: when I try to open it, it says The filename "smb-workgroup-MyFiles" indicates that this file is of type "x-directory/smb-share". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "desktop configuration file" etc. [08:52] so one day it will be /dev/hdi3 [08:52] today /dev/hde3 [08:53] Well I tried to build it and it had some kernel building error. I thought there was something called "maketools" I could install [08:53] is there irc channel for mythbuntu? [08:53] I do have gcc installed, but maybe not something else it wants [08:53] happy-sufferer: not much to worry about at this point--if you have internet (wired/wireless) then just leave it be until you know more about ubuntu [08:53] Eh, last time I tried this I screwed everything up anyway and had to reinstall ubuntu [08:53] Argh. [08:53] xukun: #ubuntu-mythtv [08:54] bazhang: i prefer not to have Xubuntu stuff on my Ubuntu comp. 8-) [08:54] bazhang, thanks [08:54] Peddy: weird. was the last time you've started gnome before or after you've changed the hostname? [08:54] Gruelius, i guess you can use a udev-rule to have some consistency .. [08:54] But all of the apt-cache drivers don't seem to work. I'll try one again [08:54] bazhang: sori sir. what i meant is that i don't have an agp or pci graphics card install on it. i only have an onboard graphics chipset on it. [08:54] and then maybe I can provide more than "It just doesn't work." [08:54] !udev rules | Gruelius [08:54] Gruelius: Ever wanted to make your USB-stick /dev/usbstick? Go to http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html to learn more about this feature. [08:54] happy-sufferer: but until you know more than you risk removing vital things--best to learn the safe way to do that with a bit of background reading [08:54] ifireball: no, I renamed it about half a year ago. [08:55] gooody: how much system ram you got [08:55] ifireball: what should be in /etc/resolv.conf? [08:55] bazhang: ok. but isn't there a way for the computer to be smart and automatically detect all Xubuntu apps and ask if I want them removed? [08:55] bazhang: 512mb [08:55] Peddy: and you've been running with a broken /etc/hosts since then? I'm surprised you could even start X... [08:55] happy-sufferer: if you find it then post it to ubuntuforums ;] === Iowahc_ is now known as Iowahc [08:56] Peddy: you shouldn't mess with it because you're using DHCP [08:56] ifireball: have you read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=592071 [08:56] hi newbie here using ubuntu.. one question... when i instal it there was like a kind of 'search option' it was yellow color i remember [08:56] gooody: awn (avant-window-navigator) should be okay on that perhaps a bit sluggish (more ram is always good) [08:56] is not there anymore.. where can i find it? [08:56] bazhang: are you implying that people who play around with different "flavors" of ubuntu (e.g. kubuntu and xubuntu) risk having their harddrive stored with unused files? === Memphis{desktop} is now known as MemphisAU === MemphisAU is now known as Memphis [08:56] what is the best dock for ubuntu ?? [08:57] gnome-panel? [08:57] ohhh god, i just made ubuntu completly dark by pressing some ctrl combo? [08:57] nah like OSX dock [08:57] has anyone done this before [08:57] bazhang: can i install awn using the synaptic package manager? === Memphis is now known as Memphis{au} [08:57] happy-sufferer: not at all; just that I am not going to walk you through it in this very busy channel right now--you are free to ask others but it is not a one click process and requires a bit of reading/understanding of the linux filesystem etc. [08:57] yes gooody [08:58] bazhang: i see. [08:58] it's not as simple as sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop, is it? [08:58] Peddy: It doesn't matter, the configuration discussed there is of a server running its own DNS, its unrelated to your setup [08:58] how do i mount a dvd imagae that is on a windows partition? [08:58] Does the restricted drivers really work? The firmware for broadcom didnt work for me! I cant use wireless... [08:58] happy-sufferer: no that is a metapackage [08:58] any sugestion [08:58] ifireball: oh, ok [08:58] gmount cristi1990 [08:59] asumming you have the windows drive mounted [08:59] irelinquish: bash: gmount: command not found [08:59] Peddy: anyway Samba works for you now doesn't it? [08:59] maek: thanks a lot. i will try it. [08:59] please, how can I see the IP of a SSH server in the know_hosts file [09:00] is awn in the gutsy repos? [09:00] ifireball: nope === arooni_ is now known as arooni-mobile [09:00] irelinquish: and yes i have the windows partition mounted [09:00] akatsuki, you have to install sudo apt install b43-fwcutter. after you disable the restricted driver [09:00] Peddy: but you've told me you see shares when you do "smbclient -L localhost" [09:00] sudo apt-get install gmount [09:00] bazhang: what about the last paragraph on http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome? [09:01] how do i get sound to play in firefox and in xmms at the same time? [09:01] bazhang: that is http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome . (no question mark at the end of URL) [09:01] please, how can I see the IP of a SSH server in the know_hosts file: http://pastebin.com/m1d44b984 [09:01] ifireball: only my own ones, and I still can't access them from places>network. [09:01] irelinquish: E: Couldn't find package gmount [09:01] yeah hold on let me find it [09:01] bazhang, AWN isn't in the Gutsy repo's, although there's a how to at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-avant-window-navigator-awn-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html [09:01] there is kiso [09:01] for kde i know that [09:01] !wine [09:01] 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. [09:02] bravo happy-sufferer! that is it except for the very last bit about install ubuntu-desktop as you already have it [09:02] i guess just use that [09:02] Peddy: what exatly are you trying to do, have your machine read shares from other machines or the other way around?\ [09:02] ah thanks dgjones; it is for hardy [09:02] !AppDB iMEDIAN [09:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about appdb imedian - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:02] bazhang: that page is for 7.10, but does that apply to, um, y'know, eh, 8.04? 8-) [09:02] Hi does anyone know what repos I need to get the latest viewcvs version for ubuntu? [09:02] irenlinquish so you mean that i install sudo apt install b43-fwcutte .. then i disable the broadcom driver [09:02] happy-sufferer: sure must do [09:02] irelinquish: just use what? wine? have it already and idk how would that help me [09:02] and then i eneble it again? [09:02] bazhang, yes, i'd read that it was included in hardy [09:03] bazhang: how come you just didn't tell me about that one-line command? 8-) [09:03] ifireball: I got places>network>windows network>workgroup and it says: sorry, couldn't display the contents of windows network:workgroup. [09:03] akatsuki, do it the opposite way [09:03] but yes ill like you a blog post about it [09:03] ifireball: I'm trying to access my own shares [09:03] ok first i disabled it.. then install and then enable? ok [09:03] happy-sufferer: that is a very long paste and beyond the limits of this channel thanks [09:03] i see. [09:03] so i need to install this as root? [09:04] in ubuntu you use also su root ? [09:04] does anyone know what repos I need to get the latest viewcvs version for ubuntu? [09:04] wow [09:04] su: authentication failure why [09:04] Peddy: whais the name of the workgroup you've setup in /etc/smb.conf ? [09:04] y try su root then i type my pasword [09:05] 'workgroup' [09:05] there is no password for root by default [09:05] oh? [09:05] so you need to sudo passwd [09:05] akatsuki, you have to use sudo [09:05] irelinquish: so? what do i do about the mount ? [09:05] first [09:05] lol [09:05] cristi, use kiso [09:05] sudo apt-get install kiso [09:05] ifireball: 'workgroup' [09:05] just try sudo screen [09:05] how do i go root in ubuntu lol [09:05] sudo root? [09:05] akatsuki: use sudo not su [09:05] i have gnome interface [09:05] then you can work as root [09:05] no just type sudo [09:06] Peddy: also since we've changed /ets/hosts and the "localhost" mapping this may be a goot point to restart, many thing may work differently after that, and I need to go for a while... [09:06] its ok you can still use it cristi [09:06] or type sudo passwd and enter a password then you can su [09:06] irelinquish: ok i'll try [09:06] all right thx [09:06] im root now [09:06] ifireball: whoa, I can access both computers now. I think this problem is intermittent, I could access both of them before, then couldn't, now I can. [09:06] does anyone know what repos I need to get the latest viewcvs version for ubuntu? [09:06] akatsuki, http://www.ubuntu1501.com/ [09:06] just read the first post about wireless [09:06] irelinquish when i try to install b43-fwcutte it appears: command not found [09:06] :S [09:06] irelinquish: and will the command be? [09:07] sudo apt-get install kiso [09:07] irelinquish: not that.. after i install it i mean [09:07] there is a gui? [09:07] irelinquish: my bad ~_~ [09:07] oh emerge is not use in ubuntu? [09:07] the sudo thing sucks if you need to work as root [09:07] no emerge in ubuntu? [09:07] Peddy: reboot, see if it gets better, otherwise this may be some kind of a network problem (is it wireless?) ? [09:08] ifireball: I will restart, and get back to you. Thank you incredibly for all the stuff that you've done. [09:08] dude, this is not gentoo [09:08] does anyone know what repos I need to get the latest viewcvs version for ubuntu?

[09:30] Lamego, i see no uninstall file [09:30] zero_, depends on how it was installed [09:30] is this more than likely overheating? [09:30] peter77: if it overheats it turns off [09:30] Lamego, i used a deb file [09:30] gooody: that would be in appearances settings; you need to have the 3d drivers for your card installed as well === lia is now known as cinta [09:31] peter77: does your laptop have nvidia graphics?

Don't even need a progress bar... [09:32] Lamego, thank you [09:32] Amaranth, I've installed a temp screenlet, I've been using my laptop a lot more than normal and the crashes happened after a few hours on [09:32] bazhang: how will i install those 3D drivers? [09:32] peter77: do you use compiz? [09:32] Aramanth, atm my laptop is 23c but it was approaching 60c last night and yes I use compiz [09:32] akatsuki, check your pm? [09:32] haha..sorry.. well, I don't know how to connect to a IRCchat I really wanted to connect to! it's not in my list of possible ircchats...

[09:32] what u mean [09:32] peter77: I guess you could disable compiz, see if it helps === Varka_ is now known as Varka [09:33] Aramanth, I've never had any trouble before whilst using compiz or beryl though [09:33] akatsuki: private message = pm [09:33] !usplash | lopin [09:33] lopin: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [09:33] oh lol [09:33] k thx [09:33] peter77: dunno, all I know is compiz stuff :) [09:33] Man, why does linux suck so bad at video card drivers? [09:33] mikedoty, if you need help, I'd drop that attitude [09:34] Amaranth, :-) [09:34] Then you have this envy app that won't even fit all of its contents when you're stuck in sad low res mode and won't let you scroll down. YOu have to guess with the space bar :( [09:34] Definitely been looking at that page, and it's confusing me a bit... [09:34] bazhang: i have integrated VIA ProSavage8 Graphics. i'm running ubuntu 7.10 gutsy. [09:34] Amaranth, it gets hot when running Second Life and other 3d games in windows but never enough to crash the OS [09:34] mikedoty, b/c you didn't develop your own driver?

[09:35] mikedoty: the infrastructure is being fixed and at least intel will rock by the end of the year, then we just need the ati/radeon driver to get there too and nvidia to write a better driver [09:35] icesword: pm? [09:35] gooody: you can't use compiz [09:36] ifireball, you there? [09:36] ok. thank you for your help sirs. [09:36] compiz is probably the reason he switched to linux : o [09:36] When I run Envy it tells me either my card (Geforce 7100) isn't supported, or hardwarecheck failed. [09:36] lol a lot of people are amazed about compiz [09:36] If it's hardwarecheck failure, can I do something to fix that? [09:36] it's not the compiz. [09:37] i dont found compiz very functional to be honest [09:37] akatsuki, did you see my pm? [09:37] yes i answer u [09:37] it is amazing！i am amazed!

[09:38] im typing there [09:38] thats weird [09:38] akatsuki: you need to register to pm back [09:39] In 7.10, is there a way to get rid of the log on screen, and just have it automatically log me in to the only account? Similiar to WinXP, if theres only one, not password protected account, when you boot up, it automatically signs into that account? [09:39] ahh, true [09:39] where?

[09:43] The audio works fine here in GG, and the microphone more or less worked too on Windows before [09:43] Lamego: Thanks, I'll try that, one sec [09:43] let me know whatever u need please [09:43] ari_stres1, you need to add it to the admin group [09:43] windowshasyou: why arn't you using the GUI? [09:44] i tried but i have not found it. i tried to visit epson site but it don't have drivers for linux. [09:44] ari_stres1, try it out [09:44] Lamego: so by default the second user cannot do system administration at all, even from gui? [09:44] ari_stres1, unless you add it to the admin group, no [09:44] windowshasyou, You should NOT use aptitude to upgrade to a new release [09:44] what wireless card you have?

[09:50] all i did was search you wireless card + ubuntu [09:50] If I'm setting up a server in Ubuntu, do I need to set up anything other then the server software itself? Does Ubuntu have a firewall I need to open ports in, or something else like that? [09:50] and people had success with that [09:50] fx|RabBit: like this /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24.4-custom-26032008 root=UUID=47bdd2b1-5804-4432-859a-4590582dbee7 [09:50] <__doc__> ari_stres1: I need a modline for a monitor that doesn't send an edid, I know the model of that monitor is well supported by X, I just don't know where to get the modeline from.

[09:53] bazhang: i have already printed using ubuntu gutsy but i want the GUI for the printer settings, maintenance and ink level monitoring. [09:53] fx|RabBit, update-grub [09:53] simplexio: so to speak yeah:) [09:54] Lamego: ah yeah thx [09:54] gooody: aha; not sure if they support that--epson is not to be confused with hp in their linux support of printers [09:54] Whenever I plug in my ipod, my computer recognizes it as a different device file in deb... sometimes it's /dev/sdh2 sometimes it's /dev/sdg2 and so on... therefore, I can't really put it in fstab, because fstab (as far as I know) requires that the mount point for the device being mounted in /media always be the same. Is there another way to detect which device is the ipod and mount it at... [09:54] .../media/ipod every time it's connected? [09:54] neeto: newest ipod? [09:54] bazhang: 5.5g [09:54] bazhang: ohh i see. [09:55] What program do I need to determine what my motherboard model is? [09:55] ...and sound card, actually? [09:55] Lamego: simplexio: ok, grub-update just recons the partition that i am working with, how do i do that so it alo searches the other partitions? [09:55] Creationist, if the souncard is pci, lspci [09:55] neeto: you might want to wait a couple of weeks for next release when 0.6.0 libgpod is included by default for that--otherwise need to compile if for gutsy (gtkpod etc) [09:55] fx|RabBit: that commervial version of vbox (which is free for non-commervial use) supports "usb passthrought". i have used it to conenct my tomtom one to windows, in virtualized windows tha navigator works like it would be native [09:56] I am getting this error: " trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig', which is also in package nvidia-xconfig" [09:56] What do I do to fix that? [09:56] fx|RabBit, I hade the idea it would do it by default [09:56] fx|RabBit: dont know, i haven't used update-grub. [09:56] Lamego: How about my motherboard? I have onboard ethernet that I need to get working. [09:56] neeto: maybe blkid and an entry in /etc/mtab ? [09:57] neeto, removable devices are best managed by the gnome-volume-manager -- and entries in fstab are usually only processed on startup -- anyway. you can look into a udev-rule to force your device to be something like /dev/ipod [09:57] simplexio: yeh i am aware of that, but i also need direct ccess to sound and video, skype, ya know...:) [09:57] !udev rules | neeto [09:57] neeto: Ever wanted to make your USB-stick /dev/usbstick? Go to http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html to learn more about this feature. [09:57] bazhang: I have gtkpod installed, I'm not worried about file transfers so much as it always being mounted in /media/ipod rather than some computer-assigned temp entry in /media like /media/disk-1 or something [09:57] Creationist, lshw [09:57] Lamego: naw unfortunately it doesn't, only finds the part that i am working on [09:57] neeto you have it working then? ah cheers [09:57] unop_: Thanks [09:57] fx|RabBit: /dev/disk/by-uuid tell you uuids [09:58] bazhang: gtkpod works fine, I just want my ipod to always be mounted in the same place. [09:58] DistroJockey: thanks [09:58] Lamego: No, that doesn't show the model number I need to locate my motherboard at the manufacturer's website. [09:58] anyone familiar with printing problems in OpenOffice.org word processor? the print preview is not the same with the printed document. [09:58] neeto: np.

[10:00] i'm sorry, Ubuntu dropped dead :) [10:01] DistroJockey: or any device for that matter [10:01] neeto: blkid /dev/whatever [10:01] neeto, gnome should usually always mount your ipod in /media/ .. unless the directory already exists (from a previous improper unmount) [10:01] hi [10:01] how do i use suspend to RAM? [10:01] neeto: while sudo'd [10:01] My motherboard is an older Intel desktop board and I need to figure out what the model number is.... how would I do this?

[10:02] how can i remove junk files? specially hidden files left after uninstalling rogram.

[10:04] icesword, yes, to start, the best idea, is to not provide dangerous commands !!!! [10:04] DistroJockey: yessir. how would I add this blkid to mtab? using blkid UUID="" TYPE="vfat"? [10:04] i didn't use sudo and -f ,hehehe [10:04] gooody, don't follow iceword's advice there [10:04] neeto: that part I am not familiar with, sorry [10:05] neeto, you are not expected to manually edit mtab [10:05] simplexio: i still got the same error with the uuid, can i really be that two kernel images brake ath the same time?? [10:05] mtab is dynamicaly managed by the system mounter [10:06] Lamego: I am not expected, or I shouldn't? I am no stranger to editing config files... [10:06] Lamego: neeto: ohh, fair enough. Sorry to have mislead. :( [10:06] neeto, you shouldn't, mtab is not a config file [10:06] i mean, it's a runtime config file, not persistent [10:06] Lamego: alright cool DistroJockey: no worries.

[11:15] tobberoth, eventually are looking for the libsdl1.2-dev package ? [11:15] tobberoth, well, what does dpkg -l | grep -i libsdl say? [11:15] is there a comic strip viewer for Ubuntu? perhaps similar to the comic strip widget thing in KDE 4 [11:16] Lamego: No, well, I am going to download -dev since that's what I wanted, but libsdl1.2debian should include the SDL library right? not just doc files for SDL. [11:17] tobberoth, it's a metapackage, the libsdl is one of the libsdl1.2-* [11:18] hello [11:18] no answers on swap space usage???****cries***** [11:18] i have a vrand new bluetooth adaptor, what can i use it for and how? [11:18] Hi ! I have a short question: which version of Evolution runs under Ubuntu? I'm currently running Fedora (in the process of going over to Ubuntu). [11:18] tyler_d, scrool up, you got answers [11:18] Lamego: Are you sure? Because I installed libsdl1.2debian-all, and all I got was libsdl-image1.2 (which is probably just SDL_image) and libsdl1.2debian-alsa (which is probably just soundrutines) [11:18] brand* [11:19] Lamego: sorry, let me be more specific. how do I determine what running program is using what percentage or portion of swap space? [11:19] Lamego: I re-itterated after the answers [11:20] tobberoth, yes I am sure, the -alsa- package provides libsdl, alsa enabled [11:20] tyler_d: use SYstem Monitor. [11:20] Lamego: Ah, that explains it :D Thanks a lot [11:20] tyler_d: I think both PS and top have options to show how much swap space a program is using. [11:20] joep: sys monitor only indicates what percentage is used... not what proc is using what percentage [11:20] Lamego: Oh one more thing.. Am I to assume i need the -dev package to develop SDL applications, or would that be used to edit SDL itself? [11:20] tyler_d, check ps RSS versus VSS [11:21] Lamego: that sounds interesting... I will do and get back to you.. ty [11:21] tobberoth, -dev is required to develop SDL apps, there is no such thing as "SDL edit" :) [11:21] That's correct but at least you get an indication. Wher do you want to use it for? [11:21] hello anyone plays urban error here and get error? [11:21] Lamego: Allright, good :) Thank you [11:21] I need help.

[11:29] bazhang: how to make a script so i can disable the screensaver then run the game then when the game ends, enable screensaver again? [11:29] lo [11:29] bazhang: no question, just testing...but thx ;-) [11:29] i installed ubuntu from the liveCD on my usb stick (/dev/sdb1), asking the installer to not install the boot loader; then i chrooted to the freshly installed system and "apt-get install grub; mkdir /boot/grub; update-grub;". I always had troubles understanding grub, what should i modify in menu.lst and grub-install command should i run to be able to boot on my usb stick from any computer who can boot on usb?

[11:32] well in that case you need to install the Device::USB perl module.

Sorry [11:39] DistroJockey, it's ok man [11:39] genie: so you're running 32 bit ubuntu? That's good, then yes, and if you want to use the Totem movie player you will also need the gstreamer0.10-pitfdll package [11:39] realplayer works fine on gutsy and the next release [11:40] genie: but as ubotu you suggested those links, I assume it knows of a way to play them [11:40] the ubuntu way^ [11:40] pajamian, just I install 8.4 32 bit, how I install these pakages?

[11:57] Salut le peuple [11:58] hi [11:58] mitchell: go into advanced desktop settings manager and check the plugin move windows [11:58] Hey there, ive bought a new computer today, first thing i done was install Ubuntu 7.10, is it possible to install WinXP even if ive installed Ubuntu first? [11:58] Help: I am new ubuntu user. I am looking for a backup solution (maybe rdiff-backup). I understand about: scheduled backup jobs, regular backup scripts, etc. I have some difficults to achieve my final goals: 1) to take snapshot before "update/install XYZ"; 2) to see changes after update/install; 3) to filter only changed config files; 4) easy to display diff for each file (GUI interface is better). My questions are about points 3) [11:58] bazhang ok ill check [11:59] * Nero` lol [11:59] !swftogif [11:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about swftogif - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:59] Tester: sure; though the other way around is easier--you will need to fix grub /msg ubotu grub for info and links on that [11:59] !ubotu grub [11:59] 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 [11:59] anyone know a quick way to convert a swf to a gif? [12:00] Or, anything else I can use as a wallpaper? [12:00] try gimp [12:00] save as different format [12:01] lopin: check out xwinwrap and google convert a swf to a gif [12:01] I don't think you can open swf with gimp [12:01] lol [12:01] I thought xwinwrap was to make screensavers into wallpapers? [12:01] ah ok, so id have to resize the current Ubuntu partition, then put the windows CD in, and windows should install into the empty partition? [12:01] xwinwrap will work indeed lopin though the linux version ;] [12:01] about backup: how to catch all config files? Do I have most of them in 'etc' and 'home' directory? (as new linux user, it is almost black box for me, but anyway I want to backup because this will give me freedom to learn, tests and change) [12:01] lopin: yep and movies, maybe other things [12:01] Well, then... [12:02] That'll work! [12:04] about backup: if I have 2 snapshots and log with changed config files. How can I show list of these files and with "double click" to run kdiff (or similar utility)? Maybe to create folder with sym links to changed files and then some plugin for nautilus to run easily kdiff? [12:05] Help: anyway who could advice me about backup solution is very welcome. [12:05] bazhang I cannot find that option [12:05] are there any know issues where screenlets cause ubuntu to freeze? [12:05] peter77, remove them, and check [12:05] brb [12:06] Lamego, have done, the freezes are random and I have gone hours with them on and nothing [12:06] Lamego, three out of four freezes I were running VLC watching a tv stream [12:06] !backup | mmm4m51 [12:06] mmm4m51: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [12:07] Lamego, but I have run VLC for a long time without problem until I installed screenlets [12:07] Hey there im still having trouble finding a walkthrough for installing windows xp after ive initially installed ubuntu, is there any that anyone here know's of? im using the same HD, so i will have to partition [12:08] Tester: do you want it before or after your ubuntu os [12:08] hi all [12:08] ive actually already installed Ubuntu [12:08] hey all [12:09] i'd just like to install windows now, but not sure how to go about this, i tried ubotu grub, but i cant really make sense of it :S [12:09] Tester: you can "live" move the partition and its data... [12:09] peter77, so yes, it is most likely an issue from screenlets [12:09] If you install windows, it'll overwrite grub [12:09] Simple way to get grub back would be grub for dos.... [12:09] erUSUL: 10x, I will take a look. I did read a lot about backup before choose rdiff-backup. The problem is, I want to make it similar to version control system. To be easy to see what is changed. To be easy to revert, etc. [12:09] Tester: its easier if you install windows first and leave some hdd space unpartitioned. Grub will be your bootloader and chainload windows if selected [12:09] ah ok, would i have to move the Ubuntu partition forward? then leave some space at the beginning of the HD for the windows install? [12:09] Unfortunately, that's not the order that was used... [12:09] So, we can live with this... [12:10] ^.^ [12:10] The windows boot loader, can be used to start grub. [12:10] I've done it for a long time... [12:10] erUSUL: since I am new in linux, I spend a lot of time to understand what is wrong. If I have easy option to review changes and revert, this will be perfect. [12:10] You just have to add a grub for dos entry in either boot.ini or bcdedit if you have Vista [12:10] ok, does the windows boot loader(sorry not sure what that is) run when i boot the machine? [12:10] mbr [12:10] Lamego, oh well looks like they'll be going :-) [12:11] Tester, it's okay... Would you like me to walk you through the process? [12:11] if possible that would be great, sorry for this, i jsut dont want to mess it up :S [12:11] Question: anyone who have "backup solution" similar to "version control system"? [12:11] It's okay... It's really easy once we have a place for windows to go. [12:11] * binarical-app thinks lopin is cool [12:11] ok cool [12:12] hi iam new user 2 IRC chat [12:12] hi all [12:12] hi geek [12:12] Yeah, but I still can't get my moving Hal Panel wallpaper working... *sigh* [12:12] First, we're going to have to get you some space for windows at the front of the drive, because windows is stupid like that. [12:12] IRC is difficult to understand for users from windows env [12:12] I never used to this [12:12] yup i follow [12:12] but iam trying [12:13] I still have way2 go [12:13] Okay, so by using a live disk, and a windows install disk, you should be fine [12:13] it would be great if I know any ubuntu official s here [12:13] cool, so i boot again with ubuntu live cd, then move the ubuntu partition forward? [12:13] You want to start up the live disk, and move your partitions around while running a linux distribution that you don't have to move. [12:13] Yes, then go directly into windows. [12:13] ah cool [12:14] If not, you won't have a bootloader, so you need to install windows right quick, or you'll have nothing to start. [12:14] and i make sure that the partition in front of the ubuntu partition is not formatted(no file system) [12:14] Yes. The windows partition must be at the front of the drive. [12:14] ah ok cool [12:14] ok great [12:14] I have problem with [12:14] network manager [12:15] wireless? [12:15] Now, when you start moving partitions, it'll move grub, meaning that your computer won't know what the hell to do when it starts, so you need to go from linux live disk straight to windows install [12:15] how can i make something run every boot. I want a program to start, how shall I do it? I need to be able to do this via terminal. [12:15] it doesn't show me when me signs when my network is down it says active in network tools [12:15] !sbackup [12:15] sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network).

[12:17] so once ive installed windows, i take it will boot from windows automatically there on in, so how do i have the option to choose whcih OS to boot from? [12:17] I've never had any problems with moving partitions, but make sure you have a copy of your important data just in case. [12:18] it says network already configured [12:18] I'll help you with that when you get back. XP, or Vista? [12:18] ok cool [12:18] im using XP [12:18] Tester: ummm...you generally have to install windows, then linux. not linux, then windows. windows takes over [12:18] matt___: edit ~/.xsession and launch firefox from there [12:18] actually iam in xp [12:18] have tried gos as well, same problem :( what would the best ubuntu be for eeepc, if dhcp is disabled in the network? [12:18] doesn't really matter about the order [12:18] so I can't run that command now [12:18] Yes, but unfortunately, we've already done it the other way around, and it's really not that hard to do it this way... [12:18] matt___: create it if neccesary never tried but it should work (tm) [12:18] if you install xp second then, boot the livecd and restore grub [12:18] but will it able to tell me status [12:19] dahui: id use xubuntu as its get a lower memeory footprint [12:19] sorry for this loppin, but once i install XP again, ill be away for sometime because i only have SP1 on disk, and it doesnt support WPA so i wont be able to go online again tomorrow, may i please get the last steps from you now so that i can print them out, if possible? [12:19] dahui: don't you like the xandros ? [12:19] If that's the case, we can repair grub, or use grub for dos in windows...

[12:20] dahui: eeeXubuntu has everything you need :) [12:20] binarical-app: totally know that...but i'm just experimenting on it [12:21] but my atheros doesn't work in manual config :( [12:21] dahui, I've gotten mine to work with the patched madwifi drivers. [12:21] binarical-app: so ehh....how should i add something to a session via ssh? [12:21] I tried the install from 7.10 live CD [12:21] The ar5007eg is software controlled, so the driver really doesn't do much... [12:21] matt_: cli is already there, you will have a hard time if you try and work around configuration with the cli for x [12:21] lopin: where can I get a patch and how can I patch them please [12:21] But, madwifi with the patch allows it to work regardless... [12:22] Linkage in just one sec...

[12:23] lopin, where are u,here is pm 7 [12:23] matt__: you can do it the way you would install a porgram normaly from your system, assuming you use ubuntu on both [12:23] East coast of the us [12:23] hey [12:24] hischild, Yes, it can [12:24] matt_:sudo atp-get install awsomo4000 [12:24] hello [12:24] I was asking something [12:24] yayaaa [12:24] geek_inn, What's going on?

[12:24] but ubuntu doesn't [12:25] lopin, for 5007? no [12:25] no idea [12:25] Network manager is still a little buggy... [12:25] matt_: hey drwillis [12:25] Damn, everything's still buggy... [12:25] ^.^ [12:25] hehehe [12:25] Dr_willis: how can i make something start everytime my pc boots...needs to be done via termianl [12:25] That's one of the downsides to opensource... But, we get them fixed real quick, we do... [12:26] matt__, depends on the stuff.. /etc/rc.local is a good place for most things. [12:26] matt_: you basicly have to rtfm :P for each of the apps you want to run [12:26] lopin: reinstalling eeexubuntu 7.10 as gOS was installed atm [12:26] hischild: re: grub and DOS, this was Google's first answer: http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html [12:26] matt_: you should start with man program [12:26] dahui, Hmm?

[12:27] matt__, what IS this program you are wanting to run? [12:27] matt_: so you want firefox to run on boot? [12:27] lopin: no, just new to using a server and wanting to make a script run on boot via terminal? [12:27] binarical-app: no [12:27] matt___, use /etc/rc.local then.. there ya go. [12:27] Look Network manager problems,on desktop it doesn't change status when there is partial or no network connection as xp detects.but in ubuntu netowork tools says I have active connection why is this,why doesn't nm taskbar applet changes it state automatically or notify on no connection etc.also how can I know the current status of network.ifup and ifdown are for changing interface status but how can I know real status of network,I have wired ethernet co [12:28] DistroJockey, thanks for the link, yet a simple yes would've sufficed. It's for a future project [12:28] Dr_willis: Dr_willis binarical-app http://sourceforge.net/projects/x360mediaserve/ [12:28] ty: do a comman line update... «sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade» [12:28] hi [12:28] geek_inn we cant help you with your xp box [12:28] i want a command to know what shells are on my system?

[12:28] matt___, if its somthing you mornally run with 'sudo whatever' to launchit - you can just put 'whatever &' in rc.local [12:29] Dr_willis: he wants to launch firefox rc.local will no work without a teaw or two [12:29] I can just reboot in ubuntu if you want..............i have dual boot [12:29] erUSUL, I dont think he wants firefox.. :) [12:29] Dr_willis: teawk* [12:29] Dr_willis: what does the & do? [12:29] DistroJockey, no need to say sorry. I've booked the link so i'll be able to use it for future use =) [12:29] but it will take 10 minutes [12:29] erUSUL: i get an error - "sudo: unable to resolve host tyron-laptop" [12:29] erUSUL: i don't want to run no firefox [12:29] geek_inn, there really is no partial connection... If linux is connected, it's connected [12:29] matt___, time to learn some shell basics.. & is for job controll. keeps the shell from getting taken over. [12:29] geek_inn, Microsoft almost made up that bull... [12:29] ty, you have to boot into recovery mode and add tyron-laptop to /etc/hosts [12:30] Dr_willis: 13:16 < matt___> erUSUL: so i want it to start, IE firefox everytime it boots. would i use /etc/rc.local? [12:30] hischild: *nods* the map command I have found is need at times [12:30] ? [12:30] erUSUL, he just told me it was binarical-app http://sourceforge.net/projects/x360mediaserve/ [12:30] hischild:what would have caused this? is it from installing samba? [12:30] Dr_willis: so you mean like, everytime i start transmission via terminal, and i can no longer use that terminal for anything untill transmission exits, if i stick & after transmission, i can use the terminal still? [12:30] geek_inn, there shouldn't be any problems that I'm seeing... [12:30] Dr_willis: then he "lied" to me ;) [12:30] ty, i have no idea what could have caused it. Look in your /etc/hosts and see if tyron-laptop is in there. [12:30] ok,what about network disconnection will it show,also the network manager applet on taskbar iam talkin about it doesn't change it state automatically [12:30] Dr_willis: can i pm u please? need ur help [12:30] yahuuu, I'm going to need some more information.

[12:31] rootnoverify (hd0,0) [12:31] makeactive [12:32] chainloader +1 [12:32] ahhhh,lopin,thx [12:32] matt_:yes [12:32] matt___: if its some kind of server either use rc.local or make an init script for it based on /etc/init.d/skeleton and add that script to boot secuence with ie «sudo update-rc.d add scriptname defaults» [12:32] binarical-app: which on? [12:32] DistroJockey, ah that :-) it'll be about 2 weeks before i have to do anything with it, so i'm good for now.

[12:40] ActionParsnip, He's in the live disck [12:40] *disk [12:40] NEWB QUESTION: Hello oh omnipotent collective! I'm a Mac user. In the October '07 edition of Macworld, I read an article by Brian Jepson titled, "Linux (Ubuntu) on the Mac". Just today, I bought Parallels, and downloaded Ubuntu 7.10 desktop edition. There appears to be a graphics bug of some sort. While installing Ubuntu from the ISO, the windowed screen jumps around irregularly, and ultimately freezes. I have taken great pains [12:40] dahui: eeepc aint that slow dude [12:40] i dont know abt linux, last time i installed the same ubuntu on the same machine and it was very easy just few clicks and done [12:41] Âîò è ïðèï¸ðñÿ ÿ â ýòó æîïó [12:41] what the hell [12:41] yahuuu, that's what we're trying to figure out... [12:41] fuck, he put a curse on us [12:41] Hi Girls and Boys [12:41] that was the implied scenario, yahuu [12:41] i m sorry guys if i bother u [12:41] lopin, he's got busybox running when i read his description .. [12:41] ActionParsnip: the it is my broadband ;) ;) ;) the bottleneck ;) [12:42] yahuuu, is the disk damaged? [12:42] jabroni5: do macs have bios settings? you could default them. You might also want to try the alternaive cd as well [12:42] no its working fine with windows [12:42] nope, ran the disk check on the ISO [12:42] Ac [12:42] ActionParsnip: no bios on macs [12:42] is 7.04 (as cited in article) less buggy on Parallels than 7.10 possibly? [12:42] hischild, this is usually cannot mount the livecd ,i think [12:42] jabroni5, virtualization is still in it's infancy. There are bound to be some problems... [12:42] It's that you're running it in a vm... [12:43] guys just tell me, cant i install ubuntu again ? :( [12:43] i saw two bios' in parallels folder, i can check them for you dahui.... [12:43] hischild: All fixed i used the GUI in sys admin added the host and run update ok now - thanks for the help [12:43] ty: can you tell us what you see when you :sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [12:43] dahui: ok, have you tried adding extra boot options to diable acpi / dma etc. Have you googled for any walkthroughs with help [12:43] You should be but we don't know why it's stopping... [12:43] ty, good [12:43] binarical-app: its a command to type [12:43] We can't get enough information yahuuu [12:43] so running Ubuntu in a VM is still ill-advised? [12:43] it was kind of just a pet project for me [12:43] icesword, hmm could be .. but the desc sounds like a busybox with the huge black screen and help for more. [12:43] binarical-app: All fixed i used the GUI in sys admin added the host and run update ok now - thanks for the help [12:43] i'm not a sys admin [12:44] lopin: so how to figure out then ? u guys are experts ..... [12:44] jabroni5, ill advised? why would it be ill advised? [12:44] jabroni5: you should try Q kju [12:44] jabroni5, vmware and virtualbox can handle it fine. if you want. [12:44] jabroni5:its free and works wonders [12:44] dahui: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/04/27/how-to-install-ubuntu-feisty-fawn-in-os-x-using-parallels-a-complete-walkthrough/#install [12:44] jabroni5: does only ubuntu fail in parallels or even another OS, I am a macuser too [12:44] Dr_willis: oh, just if it's still a buggy proposition -- i'll keep trying regardless :p [12:44] yahuuu, tell us how do you install,from a cd,vm or not,a livecd or alternate cd [12:44] yahuuu I can't figure out where the thing is stopping from your description. You're starting the live disk, and selecting "Start or Install", correct? [12:44] jabroni5, also, virtualbox runs just fine with it [12:44] binarical-app: i'll check out Q kju; ty [12:45] ActionParsnip: thx very usfefull for me ;) [12:45] i am installing it from conacial CD 7.10 ubuntu [12:45] jabroni5: np [12:45] Yes, you would almost have to... [12:45] yahuuu: the installed firewall might spaz a bit cos it'll seee you getting scanned [12:45] yahuuu, Now, you're selecting the first option in the list, right? [12:45] yes i select all the options but..... [12:45] dahui: ive zero experience with mac but i found that with google. you should try it [12:46] yahuuu, Woah! Wait! [12:46] dahui: I have not tried any other OS's yet in Parallels, sry -- just started this project today [12:46] ok ok sorry [12:46] Why are you deselecting options? [12:46] We're only at the first menu.. There shouldn't be any options.. [12:46] no i just tried to tell u that i tried million of times and ubujntu dont install [12:46] Other, then "Start or Install Ubuntu" [12:46] hey i'm having trouble connecting to a softphone via twinkle. i'm using identical settings to my profile in gizmo (on os X partition), so i know the account works. [12:46] lopin: i m sorry , u go ahead [12:46] yahuuu, So, we're loosing it somewhere in the installer then? [12:47] i'm running twinkle on 7.10x64 [12:47] sounds like it lopin [12:47] yes when kernal is loaded the black screen appers and thats all [12:47] * icesword thinks some computer doesn't work with livecd [12:47] let yahuuu answer... [12:47] ...i mean, that has been my experience [12:47] yahuuu: I you are not using the alternate cd, it probably will not work me thinks [12:47] if you^ [12:47] Okay... [12:47] This is good... [12:47] How much ram do you have? [12:47] 512 [12:48] <-- 6gb mac pro, 512 designated [12:48] Okay, so ram isn't the problem... [12:48] There's an option to check disk for errors, right? [12:48] Try that... [12:48] <-- has tried that already, no errors -- waiting for yahuuu [12:48] u want to say that might be cd is damage? [12:48] yahuuu, Maybe... [12:49] Disks get fudged up easy... [12:49] jabroni5: i tried that in other machine and it works there [12:49] jabroni5, where are you at? [12:49] yahuuu, See, I had a knoppix cd that worked in every comp but mine... [12:49] yahuuu, it was cause mine gave up easy on scratches... [12:50] ok i will try it, but the CD is scrachless [12:50] yahuuu: what speed did youburn at? [12:50] ActionParsnip: I am just a mac user, but trying to install on eeepc asus ;) [12:50] i get CD's from canocial directly [12:50] Can someone find me a way to get a .swf to something I can use as a wallpaper? [12:50] yahuuu: awesome :D [12:50] can someone point me to a howto for pairing my N800 to my laptop (Ubuntu Gutsy) so I can sync, probably with rsync, stuff between them? I get "Couldn't display "obex://[00:19:4f:DB:BA:F5]/". Errror: Host down [12:50] ActionParsnip :) [12:50] yahuuu, that's good! [12:50] yahuuu: download the correct kernel type for your system, burn it as slowly as possible, set your bios to boot it, then reboot [12:51] so u see, thats why i am worried [12:51] That's not the problem... [12:51] WorkingOnWise: is the bluetooth on your phone turned on? [12:52] ActionParsnip: yup. it's an Internet Tablet running Debain Linux.... [12:52] yahuuu: i think your system is buging up at the boot loader, you could try to see if this is the case by truning your hard drive off in bios [12:52] Hmm.. is Freespire based on Ubuntu now? [12:52] hi, how can I sort processes on the quanitity or percentage of memory they use in a top command ? [12:52] WorkingOnWise: what if you remove the pairing then repair [12:52] man top [12:52] binarical-app: turn HDD off? [12:52] that'll give you the modifiers for it.. There should be one for sort... [12:53] bertvdp, you also may want to check out htop - its top on steriods. :) [12:53] yahuuu: what you see is a black screes with a coursor [12:53] Top on steroids? That actually kinda sounds cool... [12:53] *screen [12:53] Dr_willis: I don't understand...

Better version of top... [12:54] bertvdp, sudo apt-get install htop, run htop [12:54] binarical-app: but sounds like we're freezing up at same stage....maybe [12:54] htop rocks [12:54] yahuuu, it does that sometimes...

[12:56] lopin: my install ceases to respond after choosing to install Ubuntu from the first menu...i wait a few moments and the Ubuntu progress bar appears....then the screen goes to black w/ prompt, and that's as far as it gets [12:57] lopin: could disabling acpi and the like imrove the situation some? [12:57] dahlia, I remember downloading Kubuntu at 4MB/s [12:57] is ubuntu on it already? [12:57] yaaaa.damn slow [12:57] It might, but I'm inclined to recommend an alternate install disk. [12:57] lopin: try downloading at 56K :) [12:57] lopin: compiz is already the newest version. compizconfig-settings-manager is already the newest version. [12:57] Somethings going on with the DM [12:57] try multi thread download tools [12:57] not yet, 2 days ago, i installed latest updates for ubuntu and after that it never starts [12:57] Frodolix: what happens when you try and enable it from your appearence settings ? [12:57] has it run before? if so, and you can find the os in the boot loader or grub then , switch to you rescue mode,then enter this: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [12:57] Frodolix, Okay, [12:58] yahuuu: what did you update?

[12:59] yahuuu: your updates are what is locking it up [12:59] yahuuu: what does the following command return when typed in a terminal: uname -a [12:59] it can cut a file to pieces,then download at the same time,like a 5m file,cut it to 5 peices,if download directly,takes one min,i.e.,if you use that,it will save 4/5 time,use 1min only,hehehehe [12:59] WorkingOnWise: maybe its a permissions thing. I dont use bluetooth so I'm not much help, sorry [12:59] zmatt: oh..sorry it says "The composite extension not available" [12:59] DistroJockey: ia m not on ubuntu, using windowsXP [12:59] nana,it is 20s [13:00] Frodolix: have you checked that you're running supported hardware ?

You could switch from bluez to whatever the other one is [13:01] binarical-app: do i need to download boot loader? [13:01] If that doesn't work, you'll need to use an Alternate Install CD. It just uses and Command Line Interface to do the same thing, so it shouldn't run into these problems [13:01] icesword, i havent needed that in ages. :) of course those can hammer the servers a bit [13:01] i thik you can. im not sure thos since i dont use xp [13:01] Dr_willis, yaaa,why not, [13:01] icesword, anything i download, i normally have done in a few seconds to a min anyway. :P [13:02] i will be back [13:02] thanks alot guys [13:02] ohhhhhhh [13:02] good luck man [13:02] lopin: do you perchance have a link to a command line Ubuntu install tutorial?

You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [13:03] icesword, i find people rarely use them under windows any more - due to the VAST # that had so much spyware/crapware/adware in them ages ago. [13:03] np jabroni5 :) [13:03] lopin: I am szill on iso install from CD of eeexubuntu ... can I meanwhile verify somehow wich atheros I do have and if it is a Atheros 5007EG, terminal or any gui? [13:04] <-- ahh, bots -- ty mr bot [13:04] cannot find anything like hwardwaremanager [13:04] jabroni5, There's no difference, besides the ability to use a mouse... [13:04] Dr_willis, no,it is clean,we use it here all.and it is fast:p [13:04] dahui, terminal -> lspci [13:04] dahui: eeexubuntu has the drivers for native wifi [13:04] Find atheros in that list [13:04] dahui: its made for that system [13:05] zmatt: I dont think I my drivers installed properly [13:05] Dr_willis, you don't know it,it even doesn't have a official english version [13:05] alright, back to tweaking, my new build download is finished --- TYVM binarical-app and lopin for your efforts! cheers [13:05] icesword, useless to me then. :) I did use getright ages and ages and ages ago. Back when 5k/s was fast! [13:06] Dr_willis, and i download iso from your site,it is 400k/s,it is so fast [13:06] icesword, i get 400k/s without the tools. :) [13:06] lol [13:06] no,i am far from the server [13:06] ActionParsnip: I know, but thats why I am here for, the wifi works only if in my router dhcp is enabled, if I try manual config, it doesn'r work, while in xandros manual is no prob, so it cannot be missspell anything nor the hardware. lopin told me to patch it http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-5007eg-with-madwifi-on-i386-platform.html and now while waiting I wanted to know, if I can verify to have the right hardware ;) thx again [13:06] it is different [13:07] i have seen some torrents on my box go so fast - i dident think my connection COULD go that fast. [13:07] Anyone know what I can use to convert a SWF to a GIF or AVI? [13:07] icesword, a lot of ftp/http/servers see those kind of tools and throttle down multi-connections. [13:07] Dr_willis, if you use windows,somehow,you could try it,some guy use it even gain 1.5m /s [13:08] mencoder i think can do swf to avi, [13:08] Dr_willis, i use it to download from foreigners' site,it is damn fast,and if i don't use it,i only gain 15k/s average [13:08] http://lopin.no-ip.org/hal_9000.swf [13:09] Trying to turn that into a wallpaper... [13:09] Dr_willis, you have no idea what is multi thread download,because you don;t have that kind of tools,lol [13:10] icesword, i used them all the time ages on dialup.. and im glad i dont have to worry about them now. [13:11] icesword, ive seen tools that scan/google/search for identical files and grab them automaticially in parts from different servers also. [13:11] Dr_willis, when i said this to foreigner,they all pass it,or scared,they are just afraid of malware,spyware, [13:11] coz we has a bad name here [13:11] ciao [13:11] Dr_willis, That does avi to swf... [13:11] icesword, as they should be on windows machines. [13:11] icesword, there are actually multithread tools for ubuntu, any downloader supporting metalinks [13:11] EVERYTHING does avi to swf... [13:11] Does anything do swf to avi? [13:11] lopin, ok if you say so. :) [13:11] same for torrent [13:11] i recall some web sites that could do flash to avi [13:12] it is different [13:12] torrents are theultimate multithread downloader. [13:12] but this topic is noe been beaten to death. [13:12] yaa,but this is download everything,it support p2p,http,ftp,whatver [13:12] hey there how do i get fglrx driver to work, i only get this OpenGL version string: 1.2 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1) [13:12] what am i doing wrong? [13:12] you have knew === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [13:13] icesword, if its for windows only.. technicially its off topic anyway :) [13:13] sorry,my bad english,i even forgot grammar [13:13] Dr_willis, i advice you try it,to see how it works,and write one for ubuntu,:) [13:13] on the bottomcase of my eeePC is noted "Atheros AR5BXB63" and in the link for the patch comments stands "Q: My card is Atheros AR5006X, but I think it should work with this tutorial as well. - A: No this tutorial is for 5007EG only." so now I htink I am stuck again ... but lets wait till the basic eeexubuntu is installed ;) [13:14] !fglrx | xen_ [13:14] xen_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:14] no [13:15] has anyone here got a blu-ray to play under ubuntu?

[13:15] Mine's labelled as a 5006, but it's actually a 5007 [13:15] Dr_willis, no,just see how it works === cE_pInK is now known as ipank_anak_tungg [13:15] wtf, i get this with fglrxinfo: OpenGL version string: 1.2 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1), but then when i do this: fglrxinfo -display :0 [13:15] i get OpenGL version string: 2.1.7412 Release ????

IDE drive is formatted NTFS and is holding a few important files I need to migrate to my Ubuntu instalation on the scsi drive. [13:48] yes i tried each and every option there a million times :( [13:49] Dr_willis, after installing windows only i have this problem [13:49] can we get ubotu into some kind of loop? === Fri13- is now known as Fri13 [13:49] hello, i'd like you to tell me one thing [13:49] Is there any way to mount the hard drive from the liveCD? sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/hdd gives mount: special device /dev/hda1 does not exist [13:49] e_r_c_e: tells you "one thing" === Alexander is now known as alex_83 [13:49] binarical-app: what to change in the bios setting?

Sorry, my hardware skills are...a little old school. [13:50] Dr_willis, after installing windows when I tried to install another partition the manual partitioning is showing nothing [13:50] CoasterMaster: get a list of existing partition devices with 'sudo fdisk -l' [13:50] alex_83, there also might be some ladies in here, (i hope so) [13:50] yahuuu: in bios can you see all your hds?

[13:53] can someone help me with this: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4650305&postcount=1 [13:53] CoasterMaster: it isn't necessarily -- it depends on your IDE controller whether Ubuntu reports a drive as /dev/sd? or /dev/hd? [13:53] soundray, gotcha...well either way I can recover all my stuff so I thank you [13:53] e_r_c_e: ahh, maybe vnc is the way to go (not my area atm) [13:53] binarical-app: chose now or forevr under which menu?

[13:54] yes i did it once and it was so easy just a few clicks and done [13:54] !vnc [13:54] 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 [13:54] but damn, this is for 2 users on one comp, i need to diff comps and same-a-like connection as in XPs [13:54] soundray: Booted in Ubuntu on the scsi drive. As far as I know, nothing else is mounted. [13:55] yahuuu: its now even easyer with 7.10 [13:55] i have 7.10 CD [13:55] soundray: I'm something of a linux novice...so forgive my seeming idiocy.

[13:56] my conection internet out [13:56] o-o [13:56] e_r_c_e, I think it would be sudo apt-get install vncserver [13:57] NoTownKasper: all forgiven. Sorry to sound kurt, I'm just in several conversations [13:57] ndlovu, i saw vnc4server???? [13:57] NoTownKasper: do a 'sudo fdisk -l' to see all mountable partitions [13:57] xen_: what's not working? Your xorg.conf looks ok to me [13:57] e_r_c_e, but maybe sudo apt-get install vnc does the whole lot [13:57] binarical-app: can u pm me for a second? [13:57] soundray: No worries. I used to do tech support too. :P [13:57] e_r_c_e, no idea I'm afraid.

[13:59] Excelent. That's all I needed.

When my students drop a file into it, I want the ownership to change to me (for the file) Can this be done? [14:02] DistroJockey yeah i cant really see why its showing up as mesa, because the device driver clearly says fglrx :S [14:02] rhineheart_m: netstat -tanp will list all the current listening and established connections. [14:03] TheMafia: then you should do a MagicSysRq reboot (Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen R E I S U B) and boot in recovery mode (second entry in the grub menu) [14:03] xen_: what does your uname -a say? [14:03] DistroJockey the xorg.0.log is posted at the end of the post, but i cant make head or tale of it [14:03] hi all, I recenty replaced my motherboard/proc, which has an onboard GPU, so I changed the driver, now X will start, but I can't get past login, when I log in I just get back to the loginscreen (run Kubuntu btw), I cheked Xorg.0.log and it gives: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found, I checked my xorg.conf and there is nothing nvidia anywhere [14:03] how do I type the equal sign with the slash in the middle?

[14:05] wers: The best way is to go to your keyboard preferences, and add a "compose" key for something like that right-win button that you never use. Then, compose + "/" + "=" . [14:05] Professor_K, u'll nerer know until u try ;) [14:05] thanks, CardinalFang :) [14:06] Any provide solution for query [14:06] prathibha? What was the query? [14:06] leh gbng g?

[14:11] Pici, debian. [14:11] Professor_K: I find Ubuntu works well as a guest in VMware [14:11] prathibha: Then you need to ask in #debian not #ubuntu [14:11] do you know, why my title bar of all folders and applications is gone? [14:11] soundray: but Ubuntu will be smart and support those chips :) [14:11] Professor_K: if you've an older model, the wireless is likely supported. there seems to be a six-month lag [14:11] Pici, Ubuntu is also there in my m/c [14:11] DistroJockey: nope [14:11] soundray: ohh? [14:12] prathibha: But thats not what you're using currently.

[14:14] been meanign to get around to it though [14:14] haha [14:14] Professor_K: more or less. i believe the first-generation macbooks have supported wireless now. i'm sure the forums contain more information regarding the status of hardware support [14:14] binarical-app: madwifi is for Atheros chips, not Broadcom, right? [14:14] this seems hopeless :/ [14:14] do you know, why my title bar of all folders and applications is gone? i just installed gnome under kubuntu and now i don't have title bars in gnome [14:15] damn [14:15] atheros [14:15] my vnc sux 4 ever [14:15] Pici, The partition editor in ubuntu is also showing the same error [14:15] damn [14:15] sheepz: it looks like a case of a brain-dead webmaster not properly supporting decent browsers and operating systems.

[14:25] i installed it from the .deb file on opera's site [14:25] synaptic shows on searh that the tools are installed [14:25] IndyGunFreak: it's been a while, I don't know, maybe it was the .deb from opera's web site. [14:25] reinstall says do it manually [14:26] dahui: /join #ubuntu-de please [14:26] dahui: manually means to add the respos in synaptic [14:26] soundray I am there [14:27] IndyGunFreak: at any rate, I'm upgrading it and will try again. I usually use FF but keep most other browsers installed for testing websites with.

[14:39] ubotu: ok...I was under the assumption that grub was not finding the disk [14:39] lol [14:39] i didn't reallize he'd completely wiped it out [14:39] pajamian: i actually just went to the beta so flash would owkr [14:39] *work [14:40] IndyGunFreak: ahhh, ok, I didn't realize that it doesn't work in 9.27 [14:40] kinda weird, but it doesn' [14:40] does anyone have (k)ubuntu's version of firefox working with foxytunes ?

[14:42] tactikalnuke: thanks for th link [14:43] I tryed to install MPlayer, but the add/remove program wont let it install, yet in a review the guy says that he installed Mplayer on Ubuntu 6, any idea whats goin on? [14:43] exactly what i need [14:43] helpmefixgrub: not a problem..if you have questions or need help with it, just ask [14:43] RichiH, what error do you get when you select mplayer to be installed ? [14:43] ops, i meant rico [14:43] helpmefixgrub: i'll help you through it if you need...it's pretty self-explanatory though [14:43] where to read logs if I can't receive mails from yahoo.com? [14:44] logs of what? [14:44] rico ubuntu 6 is actually 6.06 dapper drake. the last lts version. You should be able to install mplayer.. try synaptic [14:44] receive mails how ? SMTP ?

[14:45] izinucs, many files there [14:45] rico: you said you were using ubuntu 6 [14:45] the guy that was writing the review was using 6.66 [14:45] helpmefixgrub: np --glad to help [14:45] ok [14:45] so install mplayer from the repositories. [14:45] in the package manager? [14:45] yes [14:45] rico, I guess that message includes the package creating the conflict, you will need to remove it first [14:45] rhineheart_m: /var/log/mail.log is a good bet :-) [14:45] sipior, I can send mails to yahoo but from yahoo it can't receive. I am fetching mails through squirrel [14:46] rhineheart_m, you looking for logs on a specific program? or system?

[14:49] kveldulf: java -version ? [14:49] i can't remember the command, and cant think of the right words to find it with google [14:49] lol is that it... [14:49] Hey all; i'm looking at KVM - does it need a special kernel like other virtualisation methods? [14:49] erUSUL: don't think that works for java. [14:49] kveldulf, java -version ? [14:49] i was thinking of something like echo somethign [14:50] IndyGunFreak, it does [14:50] no, java -version should do it. [14:50] yup that's it [14:50] thanks [14:50] Lamego: no, java -ver doesn't [14:50] i feel extra dumb now [14:50] ah [14:50] IndyGunFreak: works here [14:50] didn't for em [14:50] *me [14:50] it still wont install the packages, Ive edited the sources :( [14:50] no one mentioned -ver [14:50] Hi all ... can anyone explain why sound stops when I switch to a console VT, and how I can get that to stop? [14:51] i get.. :unrecognized Option: -ver Could not create the Java virtual machine [14:51] IndyGunFreak: java version "1.7.0" \ IcedTea Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b21) \ IcedTea 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.7.0-b21, mixed mode) [14:51] IndyGunFreak, erUSUL suggested -version, not -ver [14:51] gah [14:51] Lamego: oh i thought he said ver [14:51] i hate this server, they need a new admin guy [14:51] can't use java.util.Scanner [14:51] my bad erUSUL i didn't see what you wrote properly [14:51] IndyGunFreak: ;) [14:53] where to read postfix errors and courier errors or logs? [14:54] rhineheart_m: /var/log/mail.log [14:54] damnit i could do this in 20 minutes if i had the altest version [14:54] rhineheart_m: also mail.err and mail.warn [14:54] rico: what do you get when you put this into the console: [14:54] anywho, thanks guys [14:54] /join #montevideolibre [14:54] /server irc.blessed.net [14:54] sipior, but I cannot see there any error why it cannot accept mails.. [14:54] where to look for it? [14:55] rhineheart_m: i would need a great deal more information before i could form a hypothesis. [14:55] andresCanavesi: no pongas espacio antes del / ;) [14:55] rico: msg me with the output [14:55] rhineheart_m: are you able to fetch mail from other places? [14:56] hi! where does update manager get the info about what has changed in a package? [14:56] WHO was looking for the java sdk version? [14:56] ulo, debian/changelog [14:56] whois [14:56] which is contained on the package [14:56] tactikalnuke, that question was answered [14:56] ulo: from the repository. [14:57] sipior, other places [14:57] sipior, what do you mean? [14:57] Lamego: could you elaborate on that please? how would I get it from CLI, for example? [14:57] IndyGunFreak: type javac --help [14:57] pajamian, not really, it's grabbed from the package itself, not from the repository [14:57] Lamego: ahh, right, I misunderstood the question [14:57] it should provide a list of packages that referance it and list the jsdk ver [14:57] rhineheart_m: well, you said you're having trouble fetching mail from yahoo, if i understood you correctly. do i understand you correctly? [14:57] ok [14:57] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62112/ [14:58] Lamego: sorry...working with too many channels [14:58] sipior, yeah. that's correct [14:58] rhineheart_m: so, can you fetch email from any other sources? or do you just have the one account? [14:59] ulo, first you need to exctract the debian control contents, .deb = ar (man ar) [14:59] then you need to untar the debian/control [14:59] interesting problem: Can't empty user trash in nautilus because of permissions, yet the trash does not show in command line or root nautilus. Hardy bug perhaps? [14:59] well, here some libraries which abstract all this [14:59] Old_Soldier: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [15:00] how would I take and combine it with the MV command to create symlinks in a differant folder based on multiple input from the find command??? [15:00] hmm, just got tonnes of updates, might fix it [15:00] ...is it expected that sound stops when switching to vt1? [15:00] where sound == music [15:01] Lamego: thank you, I'll do some digging around. doesn't make much sense to me now, but there's only one way to learn === arvo is now known as Tazhi [15:01] tactikalnuke: piping the find output to xargs should allow you to do what you want [15:01] thx [15:01] ulo,CLI: ar t file.deb [15:01] well if there was anyone ever in ubuntu-1 :) [15:01] sipior: not familiar with xargs...but I'll research it [15:01] thx [15:01] I don't know where the debs are :) [15:01] I'll find it [15:01] it'll be fun [15:01] thanks for the pointers [15:02] tactikalnuke: it's a useful little utility; i think you'll find it well worth your time to master. [15:02] sipior: thx; any recommendations for sites with good info on it? (or just google)? [15:02] tactikalnuke: well, the man page is pretty good :-) [15:02] tactikalnuke did u get the paste link? [15:03] lo; what's the command to see which version (fiesty, etc) i'm running? [15:03] and, also, have they yet figured out how to safely update the whole system w/o installing gnome* [15:04] or do i have to create a new kernel each time [15:04] ice_cream: for the version: lsb_release -a [15:04] !version [15:04] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [15:04] thx [15:04] Newbie question: why does the following command return "bash: block_dump: Permission denied": sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump [currently the file has a 0 in it] [15:04] i knew it was some cryptic command [15:05] ice_cream: your other two questions don't make sense [15:05] CJS3141: echo 1 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/vm/block_dump instead [15:05] soundray, ok, well, in the past i was having difficulty upgrading my system without gnome [15:05] CJS3141: because it runs "echo 1" as root but the redirect is done as the local user. [15:06] ice_cream: if you're using Ubuntu Desktop, you have to have ubuntu-desktop installed to upgrade safely, and that includes gnome [15:06] exactly [15:06] i dont [15:06] as it's very space-consuming [15:06] ice_cream: however, if you have Ubuntu Server, you can update just as safely [15:06] ice_cream: what do you have? [15:06] server [15:06] hi, anyone know how to allow new processes to spawn almost equal priority compared to a heavy running existing process? [15:06] i just want to avoid downloading ubuntu-desktop [15:06] How do I upgrade a package from a .deb file download (in this case libc6) [15:07] st1650: You probably don't want to be upgrading libc6. [15:07] pajamian: OK I understand now. genii:Thanks for the command, that makes sense, but isn't there an easier way of putting quotes around the whole thing or something so that sudo runs the redirect as root too? [15:07] st1650: that's a recipe for disaster [15:07] Pici: Yes ... I need to [15:07] example: multiple running mysql client connection... and somehow, it took a lot of time to allow new mysql connection to be connected [15:07] Is there anyway I can upgrade it differently ? [15:07] without breaking my system? [15:07] what email app can i use in ubuntu for hotmail yahoo. gmail [15:07] thunderbird? [15:07] st1650: probably by upgrading to hardy. Wait until it's release, though [15:08] jaffakelshac - evolution? [15:08] CJS3141: you can do this instead: sudo su -c 'place command here' [15:08] jaffarkelshac - use imap for gmail, if you know how to use it :) [15:08] soundray, what did you have in mind? [15:08] jaffarkelshac: for gmail you can use any mail client as it supports pop3 and imap ... [15:08] !upgrade | ice_cream [15:08] ice_cream: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:09] hey all. I'm having a strange issue with df and available space on a partition. [15:09] i really want something for hotmail to be honest [15:09] u007-1: that probably has little to do with process priority. tracing the client as it connects may point you in the right direction of the problem. [15:09] df reports the partition as being 90G of which 85G is used but only 500M free. any ideas? [15:09] sipior - what did you meant by tracing the client? [15:10] seamus_ie: it's because of reserved blocks. Have a look at 'man tune2fs' [15:10] u007-1: run strace and figure out what system calls are in progress when the delay occurs. [15:10] pajamian: That makes sense. Thanks for the tip! One other question though--if I say "sudo gedit block_dump" (I'm in its directory) why does the file show nothing in it in gedit, yet if I "more" it, it shows 0? [15:11] !gksu | CJS3141 [15:11] u007-1: you might also look at a proper system instrumentation tool, like systemtap. unfortunately, systemtap isn't terribly good at the moment. still... [15:11] CJS3141: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [15:11] soundray, thanks again! [15:11] CJS3141: I don't know for sure, but I would not recommend using gedit on /proc files. [15:11] * sipior pines for DTrace [15:11] it seems to be working fine with just that one update-manager-core tool =) === shauns_ is now known as shauns [15:12] pajamian: you still there? [15:12] pajamian: OK, so is ubotu's response correct? I would have to use gksu instead? [15:12] folks how can I have java in a amd64 machine? thapackages seem broken [15:12] soundray: thanks. makes sense in a way. is it safe to set the % of space used for reserved blocks on my home partition to 0? [15:12] sipior - okay, i will try that :) [15:12] CJS3141: in fact I wouldn't use any "text editor" on a /proc file, just use echo to write to it and cat to read it. [15:13] sheepz: yep [15:13] sipior - or maybe its just mysql... [15:13] hi for all!! somebody knows if I install in ubuntu 8.04 beta, when come out the release, is necesary to update or will be automaticly [15:13] you got it working with opera? [15:13] seamus_ie: no, you want to keep some space reserved, although 5% is clearly too much on a 90GB partition [15:13] Tactikalnuke: Do you mind if I PM u so we can talk about the Mplayer issue? [15:13] smack: should update automatically [15:13] soundray: really, why so on my home part? / has it's own partition [15:13] sipior.... many thanks!!!!! [15:14] woah, is this realistic? (fiesty->gutsy) 267M. [15:14] Frederick: get automatix [15:15] ? [15:15] sheepz: nope, but IndyGunFreak is using the beta version of opera (9.5) and I'm running the stable one (9.27). I would recommend you try the beta version. [15:15] !automatix | Frederick, sriramoman [15:15] Frederick, sriramoman: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [15:15] for java' [15:15] i got it today and it worked, fine [15:15] after all only one software [15:16] seamus_ie: I'm not sure what the risk is, but reserved blocks are clearly a safety measure, so I wouldn't do away with them completely [15:16] pajamian: OK, I agree better to do it at the command line. But just so I can understand better what's going on, how come even using "gksudo gedit block_dump" still doesn't show the contents in the file? It just comes up blank. (Thanks for your patience--I'm just trying to learn this stuff). [15:16] @soundray: Sry do you remember my problem (break up, no mount possibility)? Do you help me again? [15:16] I built it once and worked now it is broken cause Ive updated the packageso I purged all the java packages andneed to build again [15:16] mattan: fainlty [15:16] thou it doesnt works [15:16] *faintly [15:16] pajamian:ah, i messed up, it was indy then [15:17] how do i install google earth on ubuntu?

[15:17] kewl it worked [15:17] CJS3141: I don't know, I never tried to use gedit on a /proc file. The nature of /proc files makes it so that it could be problematic.

Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [15:19] Frederick, Once you've installed automatix and used it, you'll normally have to do a full reinstall to correct the problems that automatix can cause [15:19] pagamian: I don't understand--you're maybe saying the proc file might not be a simple text file? I just don't understand why "more block_dump" would show something while using gedit to look at it wouldn't [15:19] Radit: get it through medibuntu. You'll cause unnecessary difficulties for yourself if you install it by hand [15:19] hello lamego [15:19] Radit: you will be better off with the medibuntu version because it will automatically keep it up to date, and it will automatically install all required dependancies, etc. [15:19] man, d u know ubuntun right [15:19] ??? [15:20] Hussni, just write your question, tks [15:20] hi again [15:20] CJS3141: /proc files aren't regular files, they are an interface to the kernel. Don't use gedit to access /proc entries.

[15:25] @soundraysry thats right but not any /media/ ( hda 3 or 4) [15:25] !hardy | Templer [15:25] Templer: 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 [15:26] LjL, thx alot.. but can you explain what this command does: "sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list" [15:26] genii: the Wikipedia article is good [15:26] the beta version? [15:26] CJS3141: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html [15:26] mattan: so what happens when you enter 'sudo mount /dev/hda3 /mnt' ? [15:26] Templer, ask on #ubuntu+1, for hardy [15:26] cheers [15:27] Radit: that command installs the medibuntu repository. [15:27] soundray: I think my prob was the typo of !hfs and not !fhs ;) [15:27] genii: ah, I hadn't spotted that [15:27] how open large compressed file? i made a backup by g4l ghost 4 linux. it uses partimage. i think it was bzip2 2.4gb. Ark gives error while opening those files. any ways to copy a file from the archive? [15:27] so how whats planned for HH? [15:27] pajamian: Thanks! genii: Thanks much for the link--I'll go read up before I ask any more questions. :-D [15:28] Radit, it downloads the information that describes how the Medibuntu repository is accessed, and puts them into the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list, which APT will access [15:28] hi, i am trying to come up with some statistics from when i collect data using the "ping" command, is there a script that i could use, that would discard all information given in the ouput but leaving the RTT value, and then working out the MEDIAN value of those times? as currently ping only shows, min/max/avg/ and Mean deviation as the output [15:28] rico: read the topic in #ubuntu+1 [15:28] Troofy, partimage produces a largefile, I am not sure you can mount (I guess you wan that, to acces to the backed up files) [15:28] new problem arises when I evoke netbeans Cannot find java. Please use the --jdkhome switch. [15:29] @soundray: It says: mount: /media/hda4 is not a block device [15:29] is there any ftp site where i can find all the official ubuntu packages?i am not meaning apt-mirror [15:29] sriramoman, packages.ubuntu.com [15:29] mattan: you didn't enter the command that I suggested [15:29] LjL & Panjamian, thanks alot :-D [15:29] sriramoman: enter the link from sources.list in your browser and look around [15:29] Lamego i already have acces to file. its in a a folder i have but icant open it. [15:29] skillz: pick the programming language of your choice to write one. I would probably hack something together in perl in 15 minutes. [15:29] mattan: what happens when you enter 'sudo mount /dev/hda3 /mnt' ? [15:30] Troofy, I am not sure about the partimages file format, but probably you will need to restore them into a real partiion or file, to access it's files [15:30] man partimage [15:30] Frederick: you may simply have to tell the system to use the sun jdk. try "update-alternatives --list java" and see what's there [15:30] Lamego its bzip2 [15:30] pajamian: is there not somethign easier to write it in awk or something like that? i have collected all the data and saved them to files, now i just want to do something quick [15:30] @soundray: I tipped in"sudo mount /media/hda4 /mnt" [15:30] sipior: already done [15:30] skillz: perhaps use cut? and then grep? [15:31] Frederick-> does netbeans depends on a $JAVA_HOME env var? [15:31] mattan: why did you type that, and not what I asked you to type? [15:31] hischild: what does grep do? [15:31] amenado: maybe wgere should I place it? [15:31] skillz: man grep [15:31] skillz: depends on what language you know. Like I said, I would do it in perl because (1) that's what I know, and (2) I could probably hack together a single command line that would parse and read the listed files and dump the output. [15:31] http://rafb.net/p/ktkaZF71.html [15:31] What is a good wireless PCMCIA card that 'just works' without using ndiswrapper? [15:31] Frederick: and if you use the --jdkhome switch? [15:31] Troofy, it doesn't matter if it's compressed or not, if you uncompress it, it still uses the partimage format [15:32] Frederick-> its an environment variable, you export it to your shell [15:32] skillz: has the ability to use expressions to cut the output in smaller pieces so you're just left with the numbers. [15:32] Lamego hm [15:32] pajamian: i would be very greatfull if you could help me with this line of perl :) [15:32] Lamego so what should i do [15:32] Blinny: My D-Link dwl-g630 works great, Atheros chipset [15:32] skillz: pm me, then. [15:33] hi people.. [15:33] Troofy, you restore it, using partimage [15:33] export $JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java failed [15:33] who use DTC ? [15:33] btw, when do they plan to put the trash on the desktop so u can delete the files in the trash easily? I heard that u have to use terminal to empty it, or has this been fixed? [15:33] pajmain: done :) [15:33] i have notice that mouse acceleration control has problems, when I try to tune it, it drops to left and my mouse stay too slow. No matter how I try to move the slide bar to right it come back to left. I have to xset m 2 to make my pointer usable. Any ideas? [15:33] genii: Does that need madwifii anything special? Or can I just use the networkmanager in Gutsy? [15:33] What's a good text editor to use? I've been using jedit for years, but thought there might be something else that I've not tried before. [15:33] Blinny: you can just use the network manager in gutsy. [15:33] Frederick: leave out the "$" [15:33] skillz: you need to register with nickserv in order to pm, sorry. [15:34] Frederick-> remove the $ if on the left hand side of = [15:34] frostburn, gedit [15:34] hischild/genii: Yous is the rockstars. Cheers. [15:34] skillz: join #pajamian_skillz [15:34] Blinny: No madwifi or anything. Works out of the box with default network manager [15:34] rico: the trash is in the bottom panel on the right. You can empty it easily with a right click and choosing the Empty... option [15:34] Grassy ass. [15:34] join #pajamian_skillz [15:34] @soundray I have read itwrong but this device does not exist or is busy(sudo mount/dev/hda4 /mnt) [15:34] Lamego no other way?

Any ideas about how I can make it successfully connect the first time? [15:36] Frederick-> its the bin directory for JAVA_HOME not the executable java itself [15:36] Frederick: i think that java home is the top level directory of java install not the full path to the java binary [15:37] Lamego, it doesn't compare every line at the same time, it's easy to miss something [15:37] Lamego ok [15:37] Frederick: oh well what amenado says ;) [15:37] Lamego thx [15:37] Sry There was one in my terminal [15:37] !java [15:37] 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) [15:39] mattan: run 'sudo fdisk -l' and put the output on the pastebin please [15:39] * FooTaGe ( NoNameScript 4.2 :: by greeny & mute :: www.nnscript.com :: www.regroup-esports.com ) === ikrakid is now known as co_mansa [15:40] seems to be okay now [15:40] howdo I set this ariable globaly?

[15:59] _julian__: i do not see anything on the udevmonitor output... [15:59] hischild, Lamego: that gave me a lot of info but i still dont know where my usb is plugged in, could you suggest something... what am I suposed to look for?

[15:59] <_julian__> erUSUL: just read that too, changed it, let's see.... [16:00] pirate_Hunter: unplug, count to 5, plug back in, type dmesg. It'll show something with sda, sdb, or something along those lines. [16:00] sipior: yeah, whats 2-up by the way? [16:00] @soundray:no not a mac, but hda is there under root [16:00] sirblue: 2 pages per physical page [16:01] sipior: yeah, what did i say? just want to save paper...

[16:02] sirblue: hmm...not sure how openoffice goes about printing. it's possible that it simply isn't supported with your printer driver. you might try getting openoffice to output postscript files, which you could then format and print with psnup [16:03] well, now we'll know whether setting up printing in ubuntu is easier than pulling teeth === shauns_ is now known as shauns [16:04] @soundray xxxxxxx is not a sudoers file...

[16:36] mlo: two reason java and flash plugins for browsers [16:36] mattan, did you have a problem w/ sudo or not; if you didnt, no need to change anything [16:36] mlo: if you need to use the Java web plugin, and you are in love with Flash (which works, but sometimes crashes), then go with 32, otherwise, 64 :) [16:36] yahuuu, have you tried using the alternate disk ? [16:36] <_elemental> hmm, I need to have libmysqlclient.so.14 for an app for work, ubunutu repos only have .15, anyone know how I can get .14 installed?

[16:56] jrib: for some reason is still only making symlinks of each individual word of the acutal pdf...suggestions? [16:57] pharoh: Sometimes only a small fraction of the program.

[17:03] hischild: what did you specify as the base-path for the mirror? [17:03] sipior: i don't think that using a symlink to a hidden file works though [17:04] sipior: but ty...that did exactly what I needed it to do [17:04] sipior: the external drive it's creating the repo at [17:04] hischild: then i think you should be fine [17:05] hischild: did it not work? === JaxxMaxx__ is now known as JaxxMaxx_ [17:05] sipior: thanks, a good comfort :-) it's working so far (about 20 from 40gb done so far) but i'm worried that it might decide to go awol on me and so something weird [17:06] good day, I have ubuntu 6.06 2.6.15-51-server installed on two machines, but cannot get IPVS to work because it says it's not built into the kernel, anyone have an idea how to compile IPVS support into the kernel?

[18:02] Anyone knows if ubuntu 7.10 supports Visiontek x1650 pro PCIe card? or if there is a bug with it? [18:02] I am having a problem with flash [18:02] mirnazim: forgive me for asking, but it is a dvd-capable drive? [18:02] mirnazim: you need to install the DVD codecs [18:02] sipior: lol [18:03] any website I go, when I am streaming video, it goes gray [18:03] the site screen [18:03] hischild: i think that all ircd are pretty much easy [18:03] IndyGunFreak: i don't mean that to be insulting. i've seen it before. [18:03] wonko69, there is app called devilspie that does that [18:03] bharadwaj: my file is a .cue [18:03] sipior: it struck me as comical. [18:03] what do I do [18:03] Troofy: The server kernel is also different from the generic kernel in that optimised for multiuser performance and not for speed of running programs. So you will have overall slower running of X etc. Also many modules for things like ati cards, nvidia etc etc are not being compiled for -server version [18:03] kane77, thanks I will look into it [18:03] hischild: if you dont plan to eun it with hundreds users, and then network probably is first to give problems [18:03] harushimo: thats probably not a flash site them, its some other codec, does Youtube work? [18:03] ibou: is that you want to mount it? [18:03] sipior: my dvd drive is capable of reading and writing DVDs. [18:04] and yes I have all the codecs [18:04] I have XP on this hard disk, and I have another 200gb drive to install.. I want Linux on it, and XP to remain as is.. [18:04] IndyGunFreak: let me check [18:04] mirnazim: of course, apologies. have you tried different type of DVDs in it? [18:04] bharadwaj: yes [18:04] mirnazim: then you should be able to play DVDs [18:04] !dvd | harushimo [18:04] harushimo: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [18:04] the site loads up but it show the videos [18:04] mirnazim: i assume mounting data discs doesn't work either? [18:04] doesn't [18:05] yes I was able to play DVDs 12-20 days back. Just did not watch a dvd for some time due to work presure [18:05] harushimo: and you're sure flash is installed? [18:05] genii how about i use desktop install. for all. [18:05] ibou: try cdemu I am using it and really a very nice to try out to mount any image file... [18:05] simplexio: it doesn't have to be easy as i'm fairly good at figuring things out. Network will be a 54MBit wlan network ran from school. I'm attempting to set up a personal network for us linux users who use wlan and would like IRC for communication [18:05] yeah, its installed [18:05] i can`t run this vmware it shows me this error attemting to start the machine "Unable to change virtual machine power state: The process exited with an error: [18:05] End of error message." [18:05] sipior: yes i tried mounting from command line [18:05] mirnazim: then the obvious question--what did you change? [18:05] harushimo: what browser/version and what version of ubuntu? [18:05] IndyGunFreak: its installed and the version is 2.0.12 [18:05] hischild: why you dont use some existing network [18:05] bharadwaj: ok thanks [18:06] spiror: nothing related to DVD playing. Just installed reglar updates from ubuntu [18:06] IndyGunFreak: ubuntu 7.10 [18:06] hischild: thanks but the file is there. I try by renaming it [18:06] mirnazim: you might try cleaning the lens--might be having trouble with DVDs (the requirements for CDs are, i understand, not quite as demanding) [18:06] genii heres the complete info btw [18:06] ircd, webhosting, email server, giveing lan internet to local ppl in colony. (packet shapers, band limiters), personal use , gaming. windows gamings too. ( i rarely switch to windows though, for gaming. (no 3d support in vbox or wmware)). i currently have p4 1.8g 1g ram. and a ups that supports one pc only. [18:06] harushimo: i don't know.. doesn'tm make any sense, cuz it works fine for me [18:06] i'm on xubuntu. i'm trying to install skype, but it says 'Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt4-core". How do i get that libqt4-core file? [18:06] hischild: usually keeping servers behind wlan is bad idea [18:06] sipior: in fact I am still able to play VCDs [18:06] Anyone knows what does ERR8 when I start the installation of UBUNTU 7.10 means? [18:06] harushimo: and 99.9% of other people [18:06] simplexio: because we don't get access to the internet access there :( [18:06] hischild: ahh.. [18:07] hischild: i think pretty muhc any ircd that you can configure is good [18:07] anyone get an error in Kmymoney2 on Gutsy when adding a new account that says "unable to add account:Unknown account id 'A000204'? but the account shows up in the list. Is this just a phantom error that means nothing? [18:07] simplexio: considering the server will be about 1m from the router i think that end will be fine. alright [18:07] mirnazim: do you have libdvdcss installed? [18:07] mirnazim: if you have already excluded the drive, and you have already excluded the operating system, what do you think the problem might be? [18:07] hischild: well traffic to "pollutes" whole router "air" bandwith [18:08] IndyGunFreak: Might be cheaper to get some hardware from newegg - I guess that doesn't mean much though if you don't already have a computer to burn the iso onto... [18:08] IndyGunFreak: its working now [18:08] hischild: but ircd shouldnt create that much traffic [18:08] harushimo: its a miracle [18:08] 299 for an internet box isn't bad [18:08] IndyGunFreak: tell me about it [18:08] lol [18:08] sipior: as of now i have no idea. but i tested the same DVD on gutsy system which had not installed any updates [18:08] simplexio: i was hoping it wouldn't create much :-) === Ademan is now known as MagusOfTheFuture [18:08] spirior: and it worked flawlessly [18:09] mirnazim: but not the identical hardware? [18:09] thanks everyone [18:09] people, where do i get libqt4-core? [18:09] redwhitewaldo: probably the repositories.. what are you trying to install that needs it? [18:10] lol [18:10] I want my ubuntu sytem to display on my tv. Anyone know of a video card that will definately work? [18:10] spirior: so any idea where to look for problem [18:10] with a shell regex, I am doing "cat | grep [0-9].[0-9]" [18:10] how do I make it grab the numbers at the begging of the line [18:10] tonage, i've used nvidia 6000 series.. [18:10] like "grep ^[0-9]" ? [18:11] Does Visiontek ATI X1650 PRo work on ubuntu 7.10 ? [18:11] hmm.. can't burn dvd.. might be copy protect set your dvd... try to run the dvd now in the good system.. before doing more. === MagusOfTheFuture is now known as mung [18:11] Bunjo: it'll work === mung is now known as MungOfTheFuture [18:11] Bunjo: it'll *work*.. now installing the ATI drivers for it, might be a pain, but it will work w/ the generic vga/vesa driver, you just may not get desktop effects, etc. [18:11] i'm still not convinced that the drive isn't the problem. if you have an extra optical drive (or know how to boot from a usb stick), you might try booting the machine with the gutsy live cd, and see if it can mount DVDs in that state. [18:12] yes, that would be a clean install with diff dvd codec [18:12] mirnazim: sorry, see my immediately previous comment [18:12] brb, gonna try to start wireless on gutsy... :) [18:12] *hardy [18:12] IndyGunFreak : but I am trying to install ubuntu 7.10 and it is giving me err8 any idea what is that? the only change to my system is the ATI card, but I had a running ubuntu 7.10 berore [18:13] Bunjo: what's the error? [18:13] eh, I had a cd-rw.. that died, it wrote a disk, and then would not open it [18:13] xFlipx: when the first screen appears I hit enter (or any other key) to get the live mode running, but I get "err8" [18:14] If I go to System > Adminstration > Software Sources, in the "third-party category" tab I have some sources listed. These sources are not listed in my /etc/apt/sources.list file; I'm wondering what is the relationship between the two? [18:14] then, it opened some disks, but not others [18:14] Bunjo: interesting - do you get to the point where you can format the drive? [18:14] i have this really odd problem with s2disk when hibernating [18:14] xFlipx I only get to the first menu where I choose to install run live mode etc. [18:14] Troofy: If you're interested in setting up servers I'd recommend visiting #ubuntu-server specifically [18:14] it goes to a black screen with "s2disk: snapshotting system" and does nothing [18:15] Bunjo: so you can't even boot into the live cd? [18:15] it goes to a black screen with "s2disk: snapshotting system" and does nothing [18:15] xFlipx : exactly [18:15] how long do you wait Serveck.. enuff time? [18:15] aaa [18:15] erk [18:15] Bunjo: and this same system previously had ubuntu installed? [18:15] xFlipx: but the funny thing is, that kubuntu 7.4 runs (I want to change it to ubuntu 7.10) [18:16] hmm - - sounds like a gnome problem [18:16] Hello. I have setup an Ubuntu server using RAID 1 on the main OS disk. Everything seems to be running fine, but now I want to test if I would be able to boot from one of the disks if the other disk failed and I haven't been able to do that. Is there something else I have to do, besides install grub on the MBR of the second disk? [18:16] is there a "better" way of taking screenshots in ubuntu then print screen? [18:16] arnath: that's how you take screenshots in any OS [18:17] how do I make the Vim editor remember settings?, such as when I input ":syntax on" i want it to remember it for the next time I start it. [18:17] xFlipx: yes, but the problem is that i can't take a screenshot of an open menu :s [18:17] xFlipx: I had ubuntu installed (and upgraded to 7.10) but I got this new graphic card, since then it was not working, so I successfully installed kubuntu 7.4 but I want to go back to ubuntu 7.10 and I can't :) [18:17] Troofy: i have x2 3800+ 3g ram and too not enough hard drives. my 100Mbit lan is pretty much all time full, machine has 2 users, i run pretty big development database and working with it and systems works fine. but that is pretty much bacause i have lots of ram and several hard disk where to share io loads [18:17] xFlipx: the tool in control of the screenshot process just doesn't respond if a menu is open [18:17] genii ok === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [18:17] I have XP on this hard disk, and I have another 200gb drive to install.. I want Linux on it, and XP to remain as is.. got a URL for info how to do this? [18:17] elventear: you mean you can't boot from the second disk, or you can't boot from either? [18:17] Bunjo: easy [18:17] Bunjo: install kubuntu [18:17] my system has been acting mad buggy lately, expecially the desktop. Have of the time the icons dont even work, now when I booted up my background, and icons dont even show up [18:17] Bunjo: then do apt-get ubuntu-desktop [18:17] !dualboot | MrSteve [18:17] MrSteve: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [18:17] hello, i am trying to run my games in a seperate x server. not just linux native games but wine games mostly, i am using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51486. the problem is when i type xauth then list in terminal i get 1 line of output and then instead of the blinker going back to xauth> it stays | and i cant type exit either ?? anyone knwo what the problem is ? [18:17] sera [18:18] arnath: gotcha - not sure on that one [18:18] arnath: gnome-screenshot has a few more options that you can specify. Check out gnome-screenshot -i and the manpage. [18:18] thks Flannel [18:18] Troofy: so i dont know how much power p4 has, but what i would recoomend if you plan really run several services on it. have lots of ram atleast 2 cores, and share data to several hard drives [18:18] Pici: ah ok thanks [18:18] sipior: I can't boot from the second disk. I remove the first disk. Start and boot and I am not able to boot. Initally I assumed Grub was missing from the the second disk. But by using a Grub boot disk I booted the Kernel and it froze at some point [18:18] MrSteve: It's really easy. Install Ubuntu on the free space, and install GRUB to the MBR. If you don't want to overwrite the windows MBR, install GRUB onto the MBR of the second disk, andchange your boot order in the BIOS (GRUB boots windows fine) [18:18] Pici has you covered :) === Nero` is now known as Kronoxys` [18:18] Bunjo: that make sense? [18:19] sipior: With the first disk installed, everything boots fine and RAID seems to be working fine [18:19] xFlipx: yes it does, but I am unable to configure my wireless under kubuntu [18:19] Troofy: like home in one, var in one, / in one and 2-4 swap with same priority [18:19] elventear: probably you forgot to change the name of the root partition grub uses [18:19] ohhh [18:19] Hi. After installing Ubuntu Studio and using it for some time I have a need to go back to the -Generic Kernel. If I chose the generic kernel option in grub, it gives me a flashing cursor in the upper left... though the hard drive looks like its continuing to boot. I'm pretty sure its related to my restricted drivers for my nvidia card... but I don't know how to fix this. any ideas? [18:19] Pici: ah got it now, i set it to take a screenshot in a few seconds, then opened the window :> [18:19] Bunjo: there are no wired controllers? [18:19] Bunjo: may have to go wired while you do the desktop upgrade [18:20] simplexio x2 38000? whats that [18:20] simplexio ircd website, my personal web, a channel web. 1000 users on ircd. an email server fo rmy domain. 5 pcs having internet service by lan routed from the server [18:20] sipior: Root? When I remove a disk in grub the second disk becomes hd0 [18:20] simplexio 2 cores of ram? what you mean. 2 g ? [18:20] xFlipx: OK I guess I would have to move my furniture to get to the dsl router then [18:20] Why aren't the "third-party software" sources in the Software Sources program not listed in /etc/apt/sources.list? [18:21] Bunjo: sorry - I can't think of any alternative - it's possible that the desktop upgrade will fail [18:21] Troofy: .,.. 3G ram, 2 cores [18:21] xFlipx: Thank you for the help, I shall get back here once I am finished with the upgrade [18:21] elventear: yes, but grub identifies the root partition to the kernel using blkuid. it may not be getting the same id for your second drive. have a look at the kernel arguments grub passes [18:21] Bunjo: The system that I have with a x1650 is a 965 chipset so I can't even install /nix on it [18:21] simplexio you mean dual core? how much gigz ? [18:21] Troofy: seems tha i typoed.. i hace x2 3800+ amd [18:21] my system has been acting mad buggy lately, expecially the desktop. Have of the time the icons dont even work, now when I booted up my background, and icons dont even show up [18:22] xFlipx: Lucky me then [18:22] sipior: The only argument for the kernel is root, you meant that? The arguments is an LVM partition /dev/mapper-system/root [18:22] Bunjo: good luck :) [18:22] OK I'm out === [1]dahlia is now known as dahlia [18:22] simplexio you mea you have 3.8g dual core? [18:22] endo, what operating system version? [18:23] Troofy: amd x2 3800+ is amd dual core processor [18:23] Whitor: gutsy [18:23] elventear: what is the exact root= argument that grub passes to the kernel? [18:23] heya, can anyone help me i have searched the web and i m going crazy, i have ubuntu server on a ibm blade center hooked up to the DS3400 storage via optic fiber.. how do i mount a drive from that storage im going crazy here [18:23] what do i do when i get a box as output when using the terminal instead of xxx@xxx:~$ ??

I saw that.. are you using gnome ? [18:24] Flannel --- I do not see TWO disk install, all show one disk with TWO operating systems on one disk drive [18:24] Any using 8.04 beta? [18:24] Whitor: yes, with kubuntu installed but I dont think that should make a difference [18:24] simplexio ic [18:24] !hardy | CVD-PR [18:24] CVD-PR: 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 [18:25] anyone? [18:25] endo, it doesn't make a difference that Kubuntu is installed. [18:25] logist: I suggest asking in #ubuntu-server as well, they should be more familiar with that type of server hardware [18:26] hi all! im running ubuntu7.10, how do i install mysql server 4.1? [18:26] Flannel - suppose I take this Drive out, and install Ubuntu to the new drive... then re-insert the old XP drive and put the New Linux drive as 2nd Master?? [18:26] killuats, google that sentence [18:26] Pici: trying that, seems no one is home there... [18:26] elventear: hmm...the problem you describe sounds very much like a boot loader that can't find a kernel/root partition. you've verified that the drives are in fact perfectly mirrored? [18:26] hi, I want to add ubuntu next to my windows installation, can I just download and install it ? [18:27] should I check the box next to the "alternate CD" ? [18:27] sipior: As fair as I can, yes, they are perfectly mirrored [18:27] Whitor: there's no mysql 4.1 on the repository. [18:27] level09 - can you burn a cd with an ISO? [18:27] Troofy: and you can allways give better priority your desktop programs [18:27] simplexio you mea you have 3.8g dual core? [18:27] elventear: then i'm afraid i'm out of ideas, for the moment :-) [18:27] Whitor: I've been having so many problems lately, the system is really unstable. My resolution has been acting up as well. [18:28] hey guys what are the most common gpg servers to send my keys to? [18:28] simplexio ok. how much increasing ram helps in speed? [18:28] MrSteve: thanks, so its probably better to install it from a CD [18:28] elventear: could the device mapper not know about your second disk, by any chance? [18:28] Troofy: far as i remember. my processor is amd x2 3800+, and increasing ram in desktop use helps alot [18:28] level09 Live CD can boot... if you have a cd-rom that is set to boot in your bios.. [18:28] simplexio k. [18:29] sipior: I doubt it. Everything is RAID1 in this drive and they are the same [18:29] MrSteve: thanks :) got it [18:29] level09 ------ get the ISO download, and Make the CD [18:29] endo, backup your stuff and start anew. [18:29] is there any open source ISO burning apps ? [18:29] Troofy: offcourse depends how you use it. but i have 3G RAM 87M is free 435M is in caches, 500M of swap is used on 2G is cached [18:29] level09 if you cannot burn a bootable CD from the ISO, then get disks mailed to you [18:29] endo... or pick away at your issues one by one [18:29] simplexio can a hardare failure occure if any one attacks pc by internet. e.g ddos? [18:29] * level09 is downloading the ISO [18:30] level09: yes [18:30] simplexio ic [18:30] simplexio nice [18:30] level09 Be aware of everything before you try to use the CD [18:30] MrSteve: THanks , I guess I can burn it :) [18:30] level09: on linux, they're all based on cdrecord though. [18:30] hello , got a problem, i want to install xubuntu on my old pc, i put in the cd, and it loads, but at the moment it needs to mount my cdrom /dev/cdrom/cdrom0 it says "unable to mount" any suggestions? [18:30] Is thunderbird preinstalled in ubuntu by default? [18:30] Troofy: i havent got my computer to crash over 100Mbit lan, but i dont know all tricks [18:30] Whitor: well, where should I start with the desktop issue, my icons are gone and my background doesn't even show up. it's progressivly gotten worse to this [18:30] which is not a bad thing :) [18:30] Chousuke: thanks [18:30] level09 I am trying to figure how I want to install a DUAL boot [18:30] elventear: i'm afraid i don't understand the details of how that mapping is made at boot. [18:30] simplexio thanks. so you too prefer a one pc doing all? [18:31] MrSteve: I [18:31] level09 -- good planning.. considerations.. [18:31] oops [18:31] Ok, a bit of a strange question, and more Windows than Ubuntu, but why would booting into Ubuntu 8.04 (latest beta) on my primary NTFS via Wubi, and running "sudo ifconfig eth1 mtu 1400" cause Windows to forget or corrupt the drivers of my wireless adapter (eth1) on the next boot? [18:31] I'm downloading a 64 bit ubuntu [18:31] Troofy: just install ubuntu-desktop, compile .24.4 kernel by hand, and you are ready [18:31] level09: both Gnome and KDE come with CD authoring tools [18:31] dont, theres alot of incompatibility issues with 64 bit [18:31] i learned that the hard way [18:31] level09 -- gnome will get it done for you.. [18:32] simplexio why compile kernel. [18:32] thanks, then I'll cancel my 64 bit download [18:32] Is thunderbird preinstalled in ubuntu by default? [18:32] identityx:because thats what windows does best is corrupt drivers [18:32] level09 ---- thing is, you should have Windows CD and rescue disk at hand.. and know about how tha repair and re-install might work [18:32] heya, can anyone help me i have searched the web and i m going crazy, i have ubuntu server on a ibm blade center hooked up to the DS3400 storage via optic fiber.. how do i mount a drive from that storage im going crazy here. using ubuntu server 7.10 x64 [18:33] Could anyone help me play .mpg files on Totem in Xubuntu? Thanks [18:33] Troofy: i wouldnt prefer one pc, but if you make it right it works. and .24 beacause it gives better desktop experince with my work loads, so it should give much better experience for you [18:33] Any less vague ideas? [18:33] MrSteve: is it possible that my windows will be corrupt ? [18:33] level09 well.. You may change the MBR, and need to.. fix the MBR [18:33] Question again: why would booting into Ubuntu 8.04 (latest beta) on my primary NTFS via Wubi, and running "sudo ifconfig eth1 mtu 1400" cause Windows to forget or corrupt the drivers of my wireless adapter (eth1) on the next boot? [18:33] Troofy: for me changing .22 to (.23 and .24) was big improvement [18:33] how can i get the typing-break sub-program in "keyboard settings" to work in xubuntu? [18:33] simplexio really. speed wise? [18:34] elventear: is your motherboard bios configured to boot from both drives? [18:34] anyone? cd xubuntu boots, but when the steps says "mounting cdrom drive" it s unable to mount... [18:34] Troofy: latency on desktop [18:34] simplexio i think you are on the latest kernel? [18:34] level09 How-to-Forge... info from this room [18:34] simplexio ok. ubuntu dont give the latest i gues? currely [18:34] Could anyone help me play .mpg files on Totem in Xubuntu? Thanks [18:34] Troofy: ye. now latest stable .24.4 [18:34] Troofy: not with apt-get [18:35] i'm reading some articles about dual boot ubuntu [18:35] Troofy: 8.04 has .23 i think [18:35] dual boot ubuntu is not that hard [18:35] simplexio: .24 [18:35] hello, I have followed the instructions Creative Labs OV51x at http://www.rastageeks.org/ov51x-jpeg/index.php/Main_Page but I only get: this output when running video: http://pastebin.ca/971327 [18:35] simplexio k. i hope. i wont get mussed up with too much load. even if i buoght a 2g dualcore === identityx is now known as IDX[Away] [18:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [18:36] looks like its an easy thing to do : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype according to this [18:36] Troofy: i dont think so. but best solution is use p4 as server and get dualcore for desktop [18:36] yo [18:36] simplexio i cant affoard that much. [18:37] I cannot get past the v4l: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory or what else is in the pastebin [18:37] Troofy: but second best is get dualcore to handle both roles, third is get some more ram to that p4 and try, worst is just that [18:37] simple question, if i had a previous install of ubuntu on my hardrive and would like to overwrite this with a new install of ubuntu.

[18:48] Whitor: that will actually work? [18:48] Cyborg: hey, could you paste the output of the command "groups"? [18:48] i think not [18:48] because i can't login as root [18:48] and it was last night [18:49] Cyborg: no, just with your normal account [18:49] ok i will try [18:49] i'm guessing he hosed his group list by messing w/ sudo, su, etc. [18:49] hello [18:49] santo -> santo ftpuser [18:49] test -> test [18:49] Cyborg: i'm thinking you may no longer be in the admin group... [18:49] * IndyGunFreak agrees [18:49] how can i be again ? [18:50] your normal account is santo? [18:50] downloading a torrent that has 1079 parts of 2 mb means that each 2 mb i download, if the download is interrupted those remain, right? [18:50] yes [18:50] is admin [18:50] * sipior reflects on the perils of sudo... [18:50] me = santo :) [18:50] santo is the admin user [18:50] Cyborg: groups tell which groups you are in [18:50] sipior: lol, i'm guessig he did it while bonking around w/ sudo su [18:50] with all rights [18:50] this is a bit tricky... [18:51] but the main user was santo, and santo is still in santo group [18:51] Cyborg: login as santo and run groups [18:51] Pici: already done... [18:51] simplexio ok.. thanks! great help. [18:51] simplexio :) [18:51] is it ok to use debian repository on ubuntu? [18:51] sipior: what can i do man to be again admin ? [18:51] that's reason why i allways define root password first :) [18:51] with all rights [18:51] ? [18:51] * IndyGunFreak is installing Hardy, be back in a minute [18:52] Cyborg: you'll need to get added back to the admin group, else you won't be able to run sudo. do you have an ubuntu live CD to boot from? [18:52] !noroot [18:52] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [18:52] how do i make pidgin still give me alerts even wen i run powerpoint stuff and/or have a full screen app like a game running [18:52] if i **** users rights or sudoers file, i can allwasy login as root [18:52] sure [18:52] Pici will be here 24/7 to help with your root problems =) [18:52] Pici: that is completely unhelpful at the moment [18:52] i do [18:52] new to ubuntu i have a new system running ubuntu and i want to be able to move files to /from and print my older xp system. i have a router conected to the internet and both systems can use the internet [18:52] killuats, no.. it's not [18:52] what can i do with boot cd man ? [18:53] kane77: thanks. [18:53] lol, reinstall? [18:53] offcourse is good idea to not aloow root logins from ssh [18:53] Cyborg: you'll need to boot off this disc, and modify /etc/groups [18:53] simplexio: That's what the recovery console is for [18:53] how ? [18:54] yuppo [18:54] what should i modify? [18:54] just out of curiosity what is an example of root problems? [18:54] i can't tear myself away from this conversation [18:54] for ubuntu isos (and future ones), do we need 650 mb discs or 700mb? [18:54] phs5556, there is a good samba tutorial on the ubuntu website [18:54] sipior: [18:54] can anybody help me with VIA sound? [18:54] kane77: well, i have a sewer line, constantly gets infested w/ roots and has to be snaked out [18:54] i need to set a cronjob to call cron.php everyday. What's the other tool besides wget that i can use ? [18:54] Cyborg: it is a bit awkward for me to describe remotely. you'll have to modify the file /etc/groups on your machine's hard disk, and add your account name to the "admin" group [18:54] thanks cahan [18:55] why it's happens ? [18:55] MrSteve: You shouldn't take the other drive out. Just install Ubuntu on the second drive, and then deal with the MBR however you want. Keep XP in the system while installing, and GRUB will pick it up and add it to the boot menu automagically. Linux doesn't care where it's installed (primary/master/whatever) [18:55] IndyGunFreak, ehm? [18:55] why it's happens ? [18:55] Cyborg: does it matter? you got removed from the admin group, and sudo checks that you are a member of that group before allowing you to use it (according to the default ubuntu sudoers file) [18:55] how do i change or disable bios password ? ive got phoenix awardbios and i want to disable the integrated sound carsd [18:55] kane77: you asked about a root problem, i gave you one.. :) [18:55] card* [18:55] wget and ?? [18:55] why i can't login anymore as root ? [18:56] Cyborg: Because santo is no longer in the admin group, what sipior just said. [18:56] when does ahrdy final gets released? [18:56] and how ? [18:56] how is it possible ? [18:56] *coughs* Alsa-mixer and the standard sound wotsit won't display anything for headphones, and sod all happens when I unplug headphones, except the speaker going off [18:56] philsf, end of april [18:56] nobody modify santo because santo is the admin [18:56] me = santo [18:56] guys, what can i use instead of wget to call cron.php ? [18:56] i don't remove by myself [18:56] babo: php cron.php [18:57] Cyborg: now, boot from the cd, mount the root partition of your hard drive, and then edit the file /etc/group so that the line reads admin:x:116:santo [18:57] babo, curl [18:57] Cyborg: 116 is just an example number, on your machine it may be different. umount the root partition, reboot, and you should be good to go [18:57] holaz [18:57] gnte [18:58] kane77, thank you ! [18:58] 10x sipior [18:58] anybody? [18:58] english??? [18:58] but whow to evite this problem ? [18:58] hwo ? [18:58] how* [18:58] ? [18:58] problem [18:58] where can i find the samba tutorial?

[19:00] Cyborg: sorry, i can't explain it any better than that. [19:00] Cyborg: boot, and edit /etc/group [19:00] Is anyone else noticing that firefox crashes a lot on the Hardy beta? [19:00] sipior: is nothing to explain just tell me how it happens shits like this [19:00] simplexio: thanks you, i had forgotten about that [19:00] language Cyborg [19:00] tlsarles: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [19:00] Cyborg, simplexio, you don't need to edit anything to get into single user mode, just select the "recovery console" options at GRUB [19:01] Aight [19:01] :) [19:01] Cyborg: http://www.systura.com/linux/singlegrub.php [19:01] Hi all I'm getting really slow boot time ubuntu is hanging on : Binding to YP server... for a good 5 minutes before hanging.

[19:03] IOFJ: install ubuntu-desktop [19:03] thanks sipior do you know if I can disable this ? [19:03] newTruth_UK: it eventually times out, but you can rename the file /etc/rc2.d/S18nis to /etc/rc2.d/K18nis and that should sort it for you [19:03] bazhang i got nvidia 6800 Gt 256ram and a 19" viewsonic e92f+ screen [19:03] if a file is in /etc/cron.daily, what time each day do the scripts in there run? [19:03] IzMbit: and how did you install the drivers [19:03] Whitor: I've narroed the problem down to Nautilus, should I just reinstall it, see if that fixes things [19:03] sipior : Super thanks I'm trying it straight away [19:03] i made the updates and install the drivers that found in restricted drivers manager [19:04] IzMbit: are you using the nv or the nvidia drivers now [19:04] not sure :S as i told i am a new user :( . how can i see? === recon_etc is now known as recon [19:05] [19:03:05] IOFJ: install ubuntu-desktop <-- is that another os or just like a desktop addon? [19:05] quit [19:05] QuickGold: depends on what is in /etc/crontab. look for "run-daily" [19:05] IOFJ: that is a metapackage that will pull in all the stuff you need to have a desktop system [19:05] IOFJ: Its a metapackage containing all the stuff that comes on the regular ubuntu install. [19:05] Heya guys, Any clue about how to get Flash working in 7.10 amd64 [19:06] QuickGold: sorry "run-parts /etc/cron.daily" [19:06] it will still be ubuntu server right, it will just have a desktop too?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:09] Armedking: i used to run amd64 on this computer, and just going to youtube then clicking to show a video worked fine for me. other than that, you'll have to google around. i forget what the name of the package to install to get 32-bit flash player working on 64-bit browser [19:10] the paste thing is pretty smart, nice...

[19:18] hi [19:18] mitchell: I believe there is a trial version of 30 days in the repos [19:18] nachete: hi [19:18] I have an intel 965 video card [19:18] bazhang; but i dont wanna the trial:/ [19:19] this is retarted. I Upgraded my gfx card from a geforce3 to a ATI RAGE LT PRO. And look! hardware accelerated grafix!!!! but only in 800x600.... And thats realy neat on a 1680x1050 screen :'( [19:19] can anyone give me a brief explanation of what ndiswrapper is and how it should work [19:19] alecwh: you can use desktop effects; I have a lesser intel card and works just not so fast [19:19] olopez: are kvm and qemu stable? [19:19] !ndiswrapper | pingu [19:19] pingu: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:19] pingu: my understanding of it is that you can use a windows driver in linux [19:19] I have an Usb wireless network card, WUSB54GP, and I want to make it work on my Ubuntu 7.10, any ideas? [19:19] mitchell: vmware server also is free (you don't pay it) but not free as freedom ;) [19:19] IndyGunFreak: thanks [19:19] np [19:19] bazhang: Ubuntu simply won't let me. My card is blacklisted, so when I enable desktop effects, it stops me "Desktop effects could not be enabled." [19:19] hey are there any good picture organizers for linux ? sorta like iPhoto but .. not mac [19:20] IzMbit: just finish that and restart then pastebin the new xorg.conf and we can help you write a new one [19:20] nachete: that is a ralink chipset (i believe) and it should "just work" [19:20] mitchell: yes is stable / usable [19:20] oopez: i dont want to run a whole OS for just a programm [19:20] Anyone got any tips on how to install a Nvidia card 8400GS 256mg? Ubuntu thinks its a generic driver [19:20] olopez; can you give me a link for it? [19:20] Hello people [19:20] IndyGunFreak: do you know the web site for a walk through i was on one last night but can't remember the address [19:20] nachete: is it a usb dongle or the type with the wire and a little blue box? [19:21] CapnMizrbl: hello [19:21] pingu: not really, sorry [19:21] mitchell: is you want run just a program you can use wine it probably can help you [19:21] hey spud [19:21] mitchell: what program maybe there is a linux equivalent [19:21] just a secod, SpudDogg [19:22] IndyGunFreak: nvm i found it in my history, thought about it right after i sent my last [19:22] olopez: wine is f*** buggy [19:22] spud, do you use java/icedtea on ubuntu 7.1064? [19:22] done. should i restart now to see if works? [19:22] it is a dongle part, SpudDogg [19:22] alecwh: okay, but I got it working; who you going to believe--some applet or me? ;] [19:22] IzMbit: aye [19:22] CapnMizrbl: currently, no. i did have java running on this computer when i did have a 64-bit OS on it [19:22] I am Spanish, and didn't know that word yet :') [19:22] yes mitchell is really buggy ... but you can run a lot of windows programs with out use a whole O.S [19:22] oki. see u in 2mins :) [19:23] nachete: does your computer recognize your USB ports as USB2.0? [19:23] mitchell: you can add more dlls o register it to get more compatibility [19:23] Anyone at all? How can i get ubuntu 7.10 to use recognize my Geforce 256mb 8400GS and use the correct driver for it? [19:23] nachete: dongle is a usb external device you plug in the side of the computer [19:23] bazhang: ha alright. I know you can skip the checks (so I can get it enabled), but I've tried it, and when I attempt to play videos on Totem, it doesn't work. It just closes the program. =P [19:23] is itpossible to change the keybindings in gnome-terminal? [19:23] alecwh: that is a seperate issue; one at a time ;] [19:24] I think so, SpudDogg, I am going to check it to be sure... back in a minute === denny is now known as five_five === five_five is now known as denny [19:25] is it just me, or can only one program use my sound card at a time? [19:25] I havnt been able to get icedtea plugin to function. [19:25] mitchell i think wine is the only "program" that can run windows executables on unix platforms , without VM [19:25] nachete: either way, just run 'apt-cache search ralink' then install the driver for the card you have. 'sudo apt-get install [19:25] is it just me, or can only one program use my sound card at a time? [19:25] help, when i type "apt-get" after the normal help it says "This APT has Super Cow Powers" [19:25] KalEl: Thats normal. [19:25] which is kinda strange [19:26] Serveck: you mean for example if you're listening to an MP [19:26] yea [19:26] KalEl: Its a programming 'joke' [19:26] lol [19:26] no virus? [19:26] super cow? [19:26] KalEl: no virus. [19:26] apt-get [19:26] and then firefox locks up if i play a sound file while MP is running [19:26] Serveck: you mean for example if you're listening to an MP3 via totem or rhtymbox, you cannot hear a system sound? [19:26] ok thanks :) [19:26] Serveck: it depends , if driver can or not play to sound fonts at same time [19:26] KalEl: try apt-get moo [19:26] KalEl, lol.. [19:26] its a realtek97 i believe [19:26] yes... i tried to install the program 'moo' before... a friend said it's good [19:26] Pici: lol [19:27] KalEl: no, not the package. just: apt-get moo [19:27] Yesss!! :D everything works oki!:D:D [19:27] hmmm i am tyring to mount what i think is a dvd image only the mount command is telling me i have to specify the images filesystem [19:27] thx you guys ;) [19:27] IzMbit: you good now? [19:27] KalEl, if you try aptitude moo it doesn't give you the cow :) [19:27] yeap :D very good:) [19:27] KalEl: try aptitude this one has no super cow power... [19:27] Pici, will it say "super cow powers" always from now on? [19:27] how can i automatically do 3 "sudo" commands whenever i startup my computer? [19:27] olopez: is there an updated sound driver? [19:27] KalEl: It has always said that. [19:27] Serveck: i don't know about realteck 95 but son driver can play to sound at sametime you can find infomation in the kernel module documentation [19:27] oh ok :) [19:27] izmbit remember that command and stay away from envy [19:27] link? [19:27] redwhitewaldo: what 3 sudo commands would those be? [19:28] stay away from envy :o [19:28] envy rocks =) [19:28] gotta love them Easter Eggs [19:28] it doesnt say super cow poers [19:28] it says have you moo'd today [19:28] kindofabuzz: lol, yeah, it will make your computer as useless as a rock [19:28] people who use envy have heads full of rocks more like [19:28] IndyGunFreak: i used envy [19:28] it worked [19:28] i have the screenlets package from getdeb but how do i stick a the time4linux clock on desktop like vista's clock? [19:28] yowsh2: for now... [19:28] just wait [19:28] IndyGunFreak: and it didnt paperweight my system [19:29] you should put, "to be continud" === yowsh2 is now known as Yowshi [19:29] Yowshi: give it time [19:29] help, java no worky [19:29] bazhang: It's the lure of an easy, fast answer which makes people use such things as envy or automatix [19:29] hi, I was curious if there is a way to make my login screen the same resolution as my desktop. my desktop is 1680x1050 but for some reason my login screen is 800x600 [19:29] "aptitude moo" - "There are no Easter Eggs in this program." :( [19:29] genii: you are not wrong sir ;] [19:29] IndyGunFreak: i dont have anvy any more. cant get it after the install. but it was the best way for installing nvidia drivers at the time [19:29] IndyGunFreak: the 3 sudo commands that i want to have autotically startup are : 1)modprobe visor (for my pda); 2 and 3) sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and sudo depmod -a (for ndiswrapper, wireless pci card) [19:29] IndyGunFreak: the restricted manager didnt work [19:29] Yowshi: well, thats where you're wrong, it wasn't the best way [19:29] "aptitude -v moo" - "There *really* are no Easter Eggs in this program." [19:29] IndyGunFreak: was the best way for me [19:30] now i have gnome but i dont khow how other enviroments looks and what are the deferents, i change envyroment the xorg.conf is the same ? or it change? [19:30] KalEl, and aptitude help says that This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers. [19:30] Yowshi: well, no it wasn't, it was just the way you figured out, it most certainly wasn't the best way, even if it worked [19:30] redwhitewaldo: try to write it in /etc/rc.local [19:30] hi, i have a problem. i've updated ubuntu from feisty to gutsy, but now gutsy doesn't detect my wireless device. It can only connect with the ethernet cable but just doesn't see the wireless! I have an acer 5672, the wireless card should be Intel... can anyone help me? [19:30] anyone: does 64bit mess with java function [19:30] izmbit should be the same; kubuntu works fine with that card (or the near equivalent) and kde4 rocks ;] [19:30] Aragon: when you say "try" do you mean it might not work? [19:30] CapnMizrbl, it wouldn't hurt if you were more specific.. what java? jre? jdk? plugin? what system etc... [19:30] IndyGunFreak: it worked. automatically whats so bad about envy anyway [19:30] no it work... ;) [19:31] Yowshi: use google, you'll see. [19:31] IndyGunFreak: it isnt like automatix is it where it can frag your stuff [19:31] IndyGunFreak: What defines "best" if functionality was obtained? I've used it prior too, it got the drivers downloaded and installed and the same system runs 3d rendering daily [19:31] Question again: why would booting into Ubuntu 8.04 (latest beta) on my primary NTFS via Wubi, and running "sudo ifconfig eth1 mtu 1400" cause Windows to forget or corrupt the drivers of my wireless adapter (eth1) on the next boot? === IDX[Away] is now known as IDX [19:31] Yowshi: automatix and envy have a LOT of similarities in the problems they cause [19:31] KleRoi: what does lspci say abou t that card please [19:31] Serveck: i think realteck 97 is well suported with alsa but i really don't know the state of this driver , look for a documentation of this driver [19:31] is there any way to have /dev/dsp link to /dev/dsp1 instead? === IDX is now known as identitx [19:31] hi, I was curious if there is a way to make my login screen the same resolution as my desktop. my desktop is 1680x1050 but for some reason my login screen is 800x600 [19:31] you have to try this, "aptitude -v moo", then try with -vv, -vvv, -vvvv etc [19:31] :D [19:31] Aragon it _WILL_ work? If so,w what do i type in the local file? [19:31] IndyGunFreak: neither automatix nor envy have ever caused me problems [19:31] Aragon should it have "sudo"? [19:31] bazhang: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [19:31] ok dokay [19:31] Yowshi: lol, you are one lucky fella.. [19:32] IndyGunFreak: and i used envy almost weekyl cause i had to reset xorg due to flash problems [19:32] lol [19:32] *but it worked great [19:32] it did [19:32] that was flash that was breaking [19:32] KleRoi: that card is the best supported in linux/ubuntu; I have the same card and it is a treat--what does ifconfig show; just eth0 and lo? [19:32] it still does but i know how to kill it now [19:32] uh huh [19:33] Yowshi: mmkay [19:33] what command is the screenshot button executing? I'm trying to get it to work under fluxbox. [19:33] yes bazhang, eth0 and lo [19:33] does anyone else have/know how to use thunderbird [19:33] just those two [19:33] IndyGunFreak: in the opast my atempts to reset my screen buggered my driver settings. so i had to reset it. now i killall npviewer [19:33] Any help please? Question again: why would booting into Ubuntu 8.04 (latest beta) on my primary NTFS via Wubi, and running "sudo ifconfig eth1 mtu 1400" cause Windows to forget or corrupt the drivers of my wireless adapter (eth1) on the next boot? [19:33] Pingu> Yes [19:33] redwhitewaldo: type: "sudo nano /etc/rc.local" then just enter your commands without sudo [19:33] identitx: #ubuntu+1 please [19:33] Curiouser: how can i find out what my incoming server is? [19:34] Just built a new server running 7.10 Has two 500G hardrives. set Up both as NFS share, but can only write to the first share from another system any ideas? [19:34] does dpkg solve dependencies automaticly ? [19:34] ok Yowshi whatever you say, but every other INTELLIGENT person who has examined envy and automatix, says you're full of it, so i'll take their side on the matter, along w/ personal experience [19:34] KleRoi: check the restricted driver manager for that card [19:34] Aragon, by the way, i think i was unclear. I don't need these commands to run when i BOOT the computer. ONLY when I log into a session. Does this make any difference to your advice? [19:34] bazhang: Thanks, apologies. [19:34] IndyGunFreak: well my personal experience says envy works. i dont know the code inside of it i have never looked [19:34] Yowshi: but getting offtopic ;] [19:34] !worksforme [19:34] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [19:35] bazhang: if I try to open it it says that i need linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-386 [19:35] KleRoi: then install them [19:35] redwhitewaldo: ahh ok i don't now that... which commands are these? [19:36] ok a rephrase perhaps: is there and app that will let me take a screenshot from CLI ? [19:36] yes [19:36] hischild: import [19:36] Pingu> Incoming and outgoing servers now listed separately... shoot, I can't find it. Right click on account or Local Folders and Properties [19:36] redwhitewaldo is there any particular reason you wouldn't want those modules loaded into the kernel at boot? It's not like they take a lot of memory or anything [19:36] kane77:you ther [19:36] redwhitewaldo: /etc/modules ? [19:36] olopez: thank you. [19:36] how do I find the default shell for a user? [19:36] hischild: yes, mine is called Olympus, you may have one called Cannon.. [19:36] :) [19:36] ok bazhang, just installing them :) [19:36] hischild: it comes with imagemagick i think [19:36] redwhitewaldo: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-do-i-load-the-sound-card-module-during-boot-478688/ could be helpful [19:36] IndyGunFreak: thank you. Is it capable of screenshotting on hotkey? [19:37] KleRoi: you will be glad you have that card ;] [19:37] olopez: correct. [19:37] Must leave, sorry [19:37] hischild: apparently you didn't dtect my sarcasm, those are models of cameras [19:37] bazhang: hehe i hope so, i've tried a couple of things but i was starting to fear that my card wasn't good with gutsy :\ [19:37] Curiouser: well thats kinda hard seeing as im trying to set up a new account ( i just installed it like 20 minutes ago) and i have no idea what an incoming server is === identitx is now known as identityx [19:37] redwhitewaldo and simplexio is right, simply listing ndiswrapper and visor in /etc/modules is the simple, best way to do that, not rc.local [19:37] IndyGunFreak: i'm sorry, i suck at detecting sarcasm... === identityx is now known as identity_x [19:38] hischild: its ok.. [19:38] Aragon, the 3 commands are: 1)modprobe visor (for my pda); 2 and 3) sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and sudo depmod -a (for ndiswrapper, wireless pci card) [19:38] KleRoi: that card is the star of all cards--in gutsy hardy and beyond (other distros as well) [19:38] :O === identity_x is now known as identitx [19:38] can someone help me a sec? I downloaded the net-tools package cause I needed to check route.c - it includes a file named version.h but I cannot seem to find this file..anyone know where I can find it? [19:38] redwhitewaldo: y dont run it on boot?? it shouldn't do any difference [19:38] anyone: icedtea java plug in no worky, 7.10-64 firefox ver 2.0.0.13 [19:38] pingu: the incoming (pop) and outgoing (smtp) server names are assigned by your ISP [19:39] AMD [19:39] do you know a channel for speakin' french? [19:39] ok bazhang i'm on the restricted drivers manager, it lists 3 components, ati gfx drivr, intel pro wireless driver and lucent agere linmodem controller driver. the only one in use is the intel pro wireless [19:39] legend2440: where can i find them? [19:39] !fr [19:39] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [19:39] pingu: who is your isp? [19:40] legend2440: resnet [19:40] IndyGunFreak: it would seem i found what i was looking for in import from imagemagick [19:40] hischild: oh ok.. good. [19:40] KleRoi: its been awhile; does ifconfig show the card now? cant remember if you need a reboot or not [19:40] pingu: either call them for help or go to their website [19:40] mmm no it doesnt show bazhang [19:41] Aragon is there really NO difference in running some SUDO commands on Boot or on login to session? [19:41] IndyGunFreak: i am having a hard time finding an overwhelming response on google that would indicate bad crap about envy. i do see a fair number of pages touting this as a good and useful tool though [19:41] KleRoi: guess you need to reboot; be sure that the laptop kill switch for internet is switched to wireless on--I had some embarassing time when I left it off and could not get wireless working ;] [19:41] no... i have my graphic card with modprobe in /etc/rc.local and it works fine [19:41] Yowshi: ok.., well, i'm not gonna show you the forest for the trees. [19:42] legend2440: is that the only way [19:42] pbne04: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic/include/linux/version.h [19:42] Yowshi the reason we don't encourage envy here is all the people that come here cuz it broke on upgrade [19:42] okay thanks bazhang! thanks a lot, i'll try to reboot and see if it works. if it does i'll come here to thank again :) see you [19:42] Yowshi: googling for porn isn't gonna come up w/ pics for envy.. :) [19:42] legend2440: i mean all im using it for is to set up thunderbird it can't be that hard to get can it? [19:42] nikrud: well duh i would expect the drivers to break and need to be reinstaklled on upgrade anyway [19:42] hi, I was curious if there is a way to make my login screen the same resolution as my desktop. my desktop is 1680x1050 but for some reason my login screen is 800x600 [19:42] Aragon heh. simply list the video card driver in /etc/modules , that's what it exists for [19:42] Yowshi: stay in here for a few weeks and see how many complaints there are about envy breaking things and then get back to us [19:43] pingu: well if you don't know the mail server names i guess it is [19:43] Yowshi so, you're not a beginner then. What's good for the skilled is not good for people still low on the learning curve. Don't suggest envy willy nilly [19:44] Some whistling is made by my computer. When I mute "Master" it stops. [19:44] nikrud: ahh i don't yea but i have to run rmmod nvidia modprobe nvidia... does this work too? [19:44] nikrud: i wasnt actually i was just rebutting the comment that envy just breaks systems. [19:44] When I raise "Master"'s volume it screams. [19:44] amikrop: Do you have a microphone? [19:44] Any help? [19:44] geekwar: No [19:44] Yowshi you haven't. [19:44] geekwar: Actually, I have a laptop [19:44] and the microphone is builtin [19:44] nikrud: +5 [19:44] Aragon why would you need to rmmod it? [19:45] amikrop: see if there is a spot for you to mute the built-in mic [19:45] Hi... How could I check if a memory card is compatible on linux? I have two laptops, and I need to know if I can use 1gb from one to another... [19:45] Unxuxu: flash key? [19:45] nikrud: otherwise it doesn't work.. its a notebook... ;) i had much trouble to run ubunut on it... :D [19:45] geekwar: spot? [19:45] nikrud: i have never used envy and then not been able to boot or do something. it just hasnt happened and i have had to use it alot in the past when i didnt know what i was doing with my graphics. i've borked my system over more on my own then i think envy ever could [19:45] nikrud: it is a samsung x65 [19:45] Aragon you must be using some weird, not ubuntu provided driver ;) [19:46] Hi to all [19:46] amikrop: haha, yea that was the technical definition! ;) Check if there is a physical switch, or at least a mute option in your sound control [19:46] hi [19:46] legend2440: true [19:46] bazhang: no... RAM memory.. sorry my english is so poor [19:46] Yowshi I have a text replace to remind me of something: Works for Me™ ;) [19:46] i have a problem with my laptop [19:46] hi everybody i build a linksys wmp54g wireless card in my computer, ubuntu now wants me to download some kind of firmware??? what the hell should i do? [19:46] nikrud: it is the nvidia driver... the ubuntu driver doesn't work properly... [19:46] geekwar: I record sound with the "Capture" option. [19:47] Unxuxu: check the computer specs for both; if it is ddr2 for both then good to go, etc [19:47] blueberry: firmware doesnt necessarily mean firmware [19:47] geekwar: And muting it does not help. [19:47] the bright button doesn't work any more [19:47] nikrud cute tm. wats the alt combo for that [19:47] Yowshi here we make a real effort to give advice that fits within the designed distro :) [19:47] what can i so to fix it ? [19:47] do [19:47] blueberry: google it, see if it runs natively or if it works with ndiswrapper === pingu is now known as arce [19:47] well [19:47] i read [19:47] that is hould rund out of the box [19:47] but it doesnt somehow [19:47] Yowshi I found it in apps->accessories->char map ,don't know the unicode off hand [19:47] bazhang: yeah... but I dont have specs for one of then... [19:47] blueberry: well there you go [19:47] blueberry: download the firmware [19:47] !enter | blueberry [19:47] blueberry: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:47] amikrop: ah, was an idea, sorry. I've experienced it with some systems. The only thing I can imagine is somehow you are getting a crossover between input/output but I don't know where you'd fix that [19:48] blueberry: kernel module enabled [19:48] ? [19:48] what? [19:48] bazhang: Couldnt check with linux cmd line? [19:48] Unxuxu: you are going to open both computers right? look at the model and make and check the manufacturers website for specs [19:48] bazhang: you think the actual device needs new firmware? [19:49] jack_spratt: what? how enable? [19:49] jack_spratt: I am guessing he means drivers and not firmware [19:49] no [19:49] it sais [19:49] bazhang: hmmmm ok... [19:49] download firmaware [19:49] :/ [19:49] bazhang: me too, thats why i said firmware is often not really firmware [19:49] blueberry, don't hit the enter key after one word, type it all on in one go, people can follow it easier, and time is not important getting the message across is -- please don't use enter after two or three words [19:49] blueberry: it wont need firmware most likely, ive never used a wireless linksys that did [19:50] okay sorry, so what sould i do .. if i type iwconfig it finds a wlan interface at eth2 [19:50] blueberry: as bazhang says probably just download what it wants, give it the benefit of the doubt, see if it works, when it doesnt we can proceed [19:50] bazhang: hi, it's me again. the problem isn't fixed yet, i can't seem to see any wireless device altho there has been 2 changes: in the network manager now there is the "wireless" option while before it wasn't there. also sometimes the wireless "thingy" outside the laptop to turn it on and off has made a couple of flashes while before it was always off. if I do ifconfig i just see eth0 and lo [19:50] blueberry: open wifi or encrypted hot spot? [19:51] yeah well it wants a link to the download!!!!11 [19:51] open wifi [19:51] geekwar: ok [19:51] KleRoi: great news; now try iwconfig and see what that shows [19:51] salut tout le monde ^^ [19:51] it shows lo, eth0 and eth1 [19:51] blueberry: try sudo dhclient eth2 [19:52] greets. i inserted an audio disc and it wont eject. havent done much with it. "hda drive not ready" stdouts. hardware/software eject doesnt work and the device isnt even mounted anymore. [19:52] What does one do if they do not have /dev/video* (none at all), does anyone know what to softlink it as? [19:52] KleRoi: you have a hotspot (wifi) to test it on? [19:52] i downloaded wifi-radar and it said it cant find the device .. [19:52] Hi, does anyone know how I can read the Label the DVD (like within a bash script?) [19:52] bazhang: yes i do have a wireless net in my house. also in lo and eth0 it says no wireless extension, while in eth1 it says unassociated and a bunch of other stuff [19:52] blueberry: so you googled this device and it should work natively, and you definitely have the right revision etc. so this device should work as a fact correct? [19:52] blueberry: did you even read what I just said? try that in the terminal [19:53] KleRoi: can you pastebin (http://pastebin.ca) your sudo lshw -C network [19:53] yes i looked on ubuntuusers.de they have a hardware databse and it sais it works since Brezzy version [19:53] Guillaume2: i have has that happen and only way i could get the cd/dvd out was to reboot [19:53] KleRoi: is the hot spot open wep wpa/wpa2 or what [19:53] Hello, anybody who has experience with getting the network to work in Parallels 3.0? [19:54] bazhang: it should be wpa. erstazi: ok i'm doing that [19:54] can sum1 help me share a connection using the terminal and not firestarter plz? [19:54] Dada_: are you a property developer who like bf2? [19:54] Huh [19:54] blueberry: we are giving advice and you are ignoring it; feel free to solve this problem on your own thanks [19:54] what?

[19:55] KleRoi: well, eth1 is claiming your wifi [19:55] Whats the command to fetch a Volume name from my dvd drive? [19:56] !wireless | blueberry read that in detail it works [19:56] blueberry read that in detail it works: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:56] mmm what does that mean erstazi? is that bad? :) [19:56] blueberry: I said sudo dhclient eth2 from the terminal and you gave no response but talked about some wifi-radar instead--give the precise errors you get please [19:56] whats the command for 'locate'ing a file and excluding a certain dir in the search? I used -e but it didnt work [19:56] NM: volname lol [19:56] bazhang: ok sorry il will do that now [19:56] oure allowed be emo sometimes:) [19:56] KleRoi: well, that means your wifi is accessible through eth1, thats the interface... so you could do: sudo ifconfig eth1 up; sudo iwlist scan [19:56] feck [19:56] wrong channel [19:56] sorry <.< [19:56] OOOHH WAIT A SEC [19:57] KleRoi: ?

[19:58] KleRoi: yeah, it easts battery, so when you are remote and what not and want to save the battery, try turning it off [19:58] altho without that step you made me bazhang i still wasnt able to see anything. [19:58] s/easts/eats/ [19:58] easts works for me ;] [19:58] bazhang: receive_packet failed on eth2: Network is down [19:58] DHCPDISCOVER on eth2 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 [19:58] KleRoi: if you want to rescan the available AP's, always use: sudo iwlist scan [19:58] I like the substitute string [19:58] Kind of stupid that Parallels, a popular product, still does not make networking work out of the box for the most popular Linux distro as of version 3. [19:58] okay then, thanks a lot both of you guys erstazi and bazhang! thank god there are people like you helping us :) [19:58] erstazi: i was so convinced it was west and not east!

[20:00] the webcam is setup properly, no bad messages in dmesg about it or even im /var/log/messages...

[20:02] erstazi: they should be [20:02] jack_spratt: they are the next generation of helpers ;] [20:02] jack_spratt: also most of the documentation has command line [20:02] hischild: exactly, magic, they dont understand what theyre doing [20:02] i know there are advantages [20:02] jack_spratt: they're newbs.

[20:03] jack_spratt: i'm sorry if i'm harsh here, but the fact is and stays that most newbs are not interested in the way how their problem is fixed as long as it gets fixed. If the easiest way to do it, is by giving them a series of commands, then that's what they get.

[20:17] boxybrown, are you using it in a production env? Id wait for hardy to go stable, or just use gutsy [20:17] macd, I mean the new release of OOo [20:17] I need help with comiz. when i type "lspci | grep VGA" in terminal, I get "00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware Inc [VMware SVGA II] PCI Display Adapter" [20:17] its java?

I'd use it as long as it wasn't all crazy religious. Maybe edubuntu has these things as well [20:21] boxybrown, you just need to change your window decorator, something in concole like "emerald --replace &" [20:21] boxybrown: when that happens just do metacity --replace or --emerald --replace depending on what you have [20:21] all i did was install, enable driver, and enable desktop effects [20:21] im not sure my desktop machine is 45 minutes away [20:21] offload, you don'T need to use it , you can just get ideas from the package list and install those from online deb files or from source [20:21] offload and there is a firefox plugin for netnanny stuff as well [20:21] offload: if CE or Edu have it, then you can get it with normal ubuntu [20:21] i was just wondering if anyone knew off hand if it would be fixed if i did an apt-get update [20:22] boxybrown: try this: after starting compiz do alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" see if that works [20:22] ok thanks ill try that when i get a chance [20:22] boxybrown, apt-get update, just updates the list of available updates, upgrade/dist-upgrade does the actual upgrade, and I think your error is just due to a badly saved session [20:22] macd ya i know [20:22] i was too lazy to type it all [20:23] ok thanks for all your advice guys [20:23] Hello. I have a problem, with RAID and LVM for the /. I have a RAID my main OS system. If I boot with a degraded RAID (remove one drive, for testing) I see that the LVM on the RAID drive is not recognized.

[20:26] how do i enable extra repos? [20:26] Pelo, I dont even notice a difference other than the default menu bar being gone [20:26] elventear: hmmm ... a look at the syslog should give you a clue.

[20:27] chatzilla! (as seperate process of course) =) [20:27] CareBerry, forget that , close synaptic , goto menu > system > adim> softare sources , check everybox on the 1st and 3rd tab [20:27] xFlipx, I don' Tlike the ui, I prefer the one in xchat [20:27] ahh [20:28] But I want to know if I can have LVM on root. If there is a way to solve this [20:28] The only problem I have with xchat-gnome is that the user list is a pain. [20:28] xFlipx, I find that most ppl do [20:28] elventear: having /boot not lvm'd sounds quite reasonable.

You'll use Freenx to connect to an SSH server. [21:20] xFlipx: Ok, then it's not what I'm looking for.

[21:45] pirate_Hunter: so one has to wonder, why did you delete the partition, if you didn't want to lose the data on it.

[22:44] amenado, i can't remember what it was -- but you could use something like this http://bayimg.com/ or http://www.abload.de/ [22:44] or don't I need to know that [22:44] unop__-> thanks.. prodigel can you try that link? [22:44] cookie, gtkpod should just be able to access the ipod via the mountpoint .. so mount your ipod somewhere, like /media/ipod .. and then point gtkpod to that location [22:45] how do I mount it [22:45] if IDK what to mount from dev [22:45] can i put together more PDF files with the ubuntu's "Document Viewer" ? ? ? [22:45] i mean ctrl-alt-+ or - for switching resolutions. does that work in 7.10? [22:45] prettyricky, do you have their urls in your sources.list [22:45] if not, should i be able to reach a virtual console with ctrl-alt-f1? [22:46] http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=finallyj9h.png [22:46] ChaosTheory: try modprobe snd_hda_intel ? [22:46] is there a way that I can force eject the cd tray, I was running an app in wine off of cd, and now I cannot eject the cd, I get an error telling me that the device is busy. [22:46] amenado: paste it here, just forgot to mention your nick === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [22:46] unop_: How do I mount it? better said...what do I mount? where i smy ipod touch? /dev/? [22:46] can i put together more PDF files with the ubuntu's "Document Viewer" ? ? ? [22:47] does ubuntu have a mascot? [22:47] new here how do i install the drivers for a usb touch screen? [22:47] BarryToeman: Revelation looks good to me. I lose interoperability with Windows, but.... I think I'm willing to forego that for now. [22:47] simplexio, I'm following the guide. [22:47] ChaosTheory: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/no-sound-with-nvidia-mcp67-hda-629627/ [22:47] ChaosTheory: oss seems to work too [22:47] prodigel, okay all you do on that laptop then is sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and [22:47] BarryToeman: On the page though, it says that passwords are in plaintext when in memory. Makes perfect sense to me, but.... is there any programs that could avoid that at all? [22:47] cookie, ok, your ipod is probably something like /dev/sdb .. to find out what it actually is .. examine the output of the dmesg command just after plugging it in [22:47] phs5556, try looking up your monitor's model in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org or in here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [22:47] amenado: did that echo [22:48] unop_:thanks. [22:48] is there a way that I can force eject the cd tray, I was running an app in wine off of cd, and now I cannot eject the cd, I get an error telling me that the device is busy. [22:48] yes I added both of them [22:48] prodigel-> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ra0 -j MASQUERADE [22:48] HorizonXP: i'm not sure. maybe you can encrypt your swap partition. [22:48] ChaosTheory: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/wirelessandsound-not-working-on-an-acer-aspire-5520-630868/ , seems to imply that hda-intel its right driver and it is in 7.10 kernel [22:48] prodigel-> sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ra0 -j MASQUERADE [22:48] simplexio, thanks. [22:48] BarryToeman: LOL, I guess, but that still leaves RAM [22:49] unop_: wtf? ehci_hcd [22:49] HorizonXP: Revelation can import/export other formats, but you're right about Windows interopt. [22:49] can i put together more PDF files with the ubuntu's "Document Viewer" ? ? ? [22:49] gkffjcs, first try to close/kill all apps that might use the cd drive. then try "sudo eject" [22:49] amenado: wow! [22:49] amenado: it woked :) [22:49] prettyricky, check this .............. http://pastebin.ca/971656 [22:49] cookie, you can also use this command.. sudo fdisk -l [22:49] prodigel-> am glad it did for you [22:50] ChaosTheory: and im pretty sure that when you get modules loaded, that master channel will be surround or center, so remeber but all sound lvls to middle so you should hear something [22:50] well. it says that new high speed usb device [22:50] amenado: thanks alot. Probably I forgot that one when changing interfaces names [22:50] hey [22:50] http://pastebin.ca/971657 [22:50] prettyricky, consider putting those into a terminal [22:50] HorizonXP: you can make a FAT partition that both OS can read (dual boot) and use Keepass and save the password file on that partition. [22:50] is in ehci_hcd [22:50] wtf ? [22:50] amenado: I promise I'll learn someday iptables [22:50] simplexio, okay, thanks. [22:50] ok thanks will do----->> [22:50] ChaosTheory: my brother had that problem with his laptop which used same driver [22:50] pdftk jejejeje [22:50] simplexio, oh, I see. [22:50] prodigel-> thank unop_ too for giving us the pastebin link to paste your drawing [22:50] ChaosTheory: not same chip thought [22:51] unop_: thank you for giving me that wonderful pictuer upload link :) [22:51] hello all [22:51] sorry kind of new to this do I paste one by one in the terminal? [22:51] hi [22:51] prettyricky, yes [22:51] i cant mount my MemoryStick (Sony), dmesg says: tifm_ms: Unknown symbol tifm_has_ms_pif [22:52] is it a problem with the tifm driver ? [22:52] ok [22:52] LollinopiL: together? [22:52] how can i resolve it [22:52] hey [22:52] http://pastebin.ca/971657 [22:52] please help me [22:52] unop_: how do I mount it? what type of filesystem do I use [22:52] ? [22:52] I'm about about to install ubuntu on a machine that already has winxp, is there anything dangerous if I do so ? [22:52] slipttees, can you summerise your problem for us first ? [22:52] cookiemonster078, is it a winpod or a macpod? [22:52] slipttees: replace that "@" with a "#" then put each line into the terminal one-by-one and run it [22:52] level09: yup, your xp system could be gone :) [22:53] Pelo: read past [22:53] prettyricky, then a menu entry AWN is in the applications/accessories directory [22:53] level09: that depends on whether or not you have partitioned windows xp correctly [22:53] u must be kidding :D [22:53] ZoiX that program will put together more PDF files [22:53] whys that ? [22:53] LollinopiL: how? [22:53] Starnestommy: i use "sudo gedit " [22:53] AVANT blah blah [22:53] level09: if you have unpartitioned space to put ubuntu on it's not too complicated [22:53] loca|host, try something like mount -t vfat /dev/hda /mnt/usbdrive ... [22:53] slipttees, gksu gedit [22:53] level09: but if you have to resize the ntfs partition it can get tricky [22:53] anybody?... [22:53] Snares12: I can unpartition some space [22:53] slipttees: then just replace the '@' with a '#' and save [22:53] do I sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list and enter the urls in there>.>> [22:53] level09: not being carefull enough? [22:54] prettyricky, click there and set things up [22:54] anewbieph-> dont ask to ask, state your specific problem with ubuntu? [22:54] yes [22:54] winxp has a tool to delelet partitions [22:54] ZoiX u have to install it sudo apt-get install pdftk. [22:54] level09: ubuntu is made to do this, however, there are always risks. the best thing to do is make backups of all important files before installing ubuntu [22:54] *delete [22:54] LollinopiL: yes, I have got. I didn't know xD [22:54] that writes that previous line into the sources.list file [22:54] ZoiX then pdftk file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf cat output file.pdf. [22:54] <Shift> [22:54] np ;) [22:54] how can I set up a static IP? [22:54] LollinopiL: aaah... this program is like a joiner, no? [22:54] cirkit, nothing about that, dmesg says there were a problem, and no device name was given to it [22:55] okay thanks guys [22:55] Xorothal, in meny > system > admin > netwrok [22:55] menu [22:55] the 'deb .... >' | [22:55] Xorothal: static ips need to be bought from your isp :) [22:55] Snares12: so I have to have some unpartitioned space in order to install ubuntu ? [22:55] Xorothal: System->Admininstration->Network [22:55] kk [22:55] i don't know ... but u can put together more PDF file, that's enough for me :D [22:55] thanks amenado. sorry. my problem is that I recently updated my ubuntu (dapper) and my firefox stopped responding from any input (after pressing enter on the keyboard). [22:55] LollinopiL: you can use nautilus scripts too [22:55] ss2: no just on my local network [22:55] level09: no, you use ubuntu's partitioner to resize the current partition [22:56] Jowi: The problem was of course udev, that added a static stanza in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. I had a tulip card in the box before, which was permanently marked as eth1. [22:56] has anyone used NXserver here before? [22:56] k, then lookup your interfaces file [22:56] gah [22:56] I mean, in the address bar. [22:56] LollinopiL: one right click on PDFs and... ready :P [22:56] Xorothal: double click wired connection and next top configuration select static IP address, then put in the appropriate settings [22:56] anewbieph-> you tried to log-off and maybe perhaps restart X? or you can reboot. [22:56] Snares12: is there any windows interface to install ubuntu? I'm planning to use a boot disk [22:56] what's my gateway address? [22:57] level09: next version :) [22:57] Xorothal, type ifconfig in the terminal [22:57] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1D:60:80:41:A6 [22:57] inet addr:172.168.0.2 Bcast:172.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [22:57] UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [22:57] RX packets:4584 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 [22:57] TX packets:9274 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1 [22:57] Xorothal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:57] collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 [22:57] level09: in 8.04 you can install ubuntu into a single file which can be run from windows etc [22:57] Xorothal, don't paste in this channel [22:57] Xorothal: nopaste! [22:57] sorry! *cowers* [22:58] amenado, i found an actual pastebin that allows you to attach pictures :) http://www.litetext.com/ [22:58] ur gateway is usually either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 [22:58] depends [22:58] will it effect that I had already added urls to the source.list? [22:58] I've done that before. I've turned off my machine after the upgrade. Then I restarted it after many hours. And when I tried connecting to the internet, I discovered this. [22:58] so the gateway is the addr of the router? [22:58] unop__-> thank you, i will bookmark that for future reference [22:58] DjViper: thnx where can I get that ? [22:58] Xorothal: yes [22:58] cause when i did the update it said Err http://download.tuxfamily.org feisty/avant-window-navigator Packages [22:58] 404 Not Found [22:59] aha [22:59] I'm guessing the gateway for you Xorothal is 172.168.0.1 [22:59] but I'm not sure [22:59] level09: it's still in beta.. but you can download it from various sites, just google ubuntu 8.04 [22:59] Xorothal, try this for multi-line posts.............. http://pastebin.ca/ [22:59] i have a scsi drive is there any way to find what program is scanning the drive because my has been running wide open for days [22:59] ok thanks everyone, I know how to use a pastebin but I'm tired and I forgot, sorry [22:59] hey what is the default ubuntu pdf app? [23:00] mine stopped working [23:00] zippytech: disable all desktop search apps, like beagle and google desktop [23:00] errr [23:00] hvgotcodes: evince [23:00] prettyricky, you can comment out those other ones with a # at the left margin of their line [23:00] i think because i deleted the poppler [23:00] i even formated and reloaded and still does it [23:00] soundray: how do i reinstall all evince deps? [23:00] it's also mythbunutu [23:00] goo, lshw is a great tool. thanks goes out to the devs. have a nice evening - i will retire for the night. [23:00] prettyricky, infact it would be best to do that [23:00] anewbieph-> you're saying you can not enter anything on the firefox url spaces like http://www.yahoo.com ? [23:00] right. [23:01] hvgotcodes: get a list with 'apt-cache depends evince', then you can apt-get install them [23:01] I can type it, it displays... but nothing happens when I press enter. [23:01] ok ty [23:01] anewbieph-> so you can not type any other url? [23:01] soundray thanx [23:02] prettyricky, good luck, I'm going for dinner. [23:02] anewbieph, try clicking the little arrow on the rightof the url bar, no the drop down one , the one next to that [23:02] hvgotcodes: to do it all in one line: apt-cache depends evince | grep Depends: | cut -d ':' -f 2 | xargs apt-get --reinstall install [23:03] hvgotcodes, evince is the reader in gnome [23:03] amenado-> I can type anything on it. however, when I press enter, it just ignores it. Pelo-> you mean the "go" button? [23:03] soundray: excellent [23:03] hey guys, anyway to get smooth scrolling (global) with a touchpad? [23:03] erle64 [23:03] anewbieph, yes [23:03] yeah im in gnome [23:03] thanks for your help! [23:03] gotta run guys thanx for the help [23:03] okay, please wait... [23:03] hvgotcodes: except that I forgot sudo (before the apt-get) [23:03] guess he'll work it out [23:03] BarryToeman: Revelation doesn't have a good password generator like KeepassX [23:04] Pelo-> nope... it also ignored it. [23:04] Hmm, has anyone set up net-snmp with ubuntu with even a modicum of success? [23:04] anewbieph, are you using the default firefox that comes with ubuntu or did you install the beta of the latest ? [23:04] HorizonXP: I'd say it's good enough. Not like anyone will crack a password with 32 random characters anyway. Even if it's missing special characters. [23:04] i have the Linux drivers for a touchscreen how do i install them [23:05] frostburn, you are not being ignored, we just don't know , consider checking in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [23:05] phs5556, what kind of files ? [23:05] krim: it only generates passwords 8 characters long [23:05] Pelo-> it was suppose to be just an update. 1.5.0.12eol. [23:05] HorizonXP: Nope, go to preferences and you can change it. [23:05] krim: and some websites have stupid arcane rules for what your password should be like [23:05] anewbieph, what version of ubuntu are you using ? [23:06] krim: ah you're right [23:06] krim: but no symbols :( [23:06] Pelo-> dapper LTS 6.06, I guess [23:06] HorizonXP: Yeah, that's why it doesn't matter that Revelation doesn't use special characters [23:06] did you just install? [23:06] the file is named touchkit.setup.sh on a cd [23:06] #ubuntu-ve [23:07] anewbieph, I'M guessing this is a new problem ? cause dapper has been around for a while and the current ff on gutsy is 2.2 , in anycase I have no idea what the problem could be, I'm quite surprised [23:07] krim: What do you mean? Aren't passwords with symbols better? [23:07] Hey, have a question about my GPU (8800 GT): In my efforts to get GLX working, the only driver I have found to work is the proprietery driver off of nvidia's website. However, every time I restsart my computer the driver won't work untill I reinstall it. Seeing as how I switch hardrives and reboot often, this is a... major inconvinence. Any ideas? [23:08] Pelo-> I believe so. I was reluctant to have my system updated after a while, but when I did, this happened. [23:08] phs5556, ok copy the file over to your desktop , open a terminal , cd Desktop, sudo chmod +x filename.sh , sudo ./filename.sh [23:08] anewbieph, try updating again maybe you need an extra package to fix it [23:08] hello all [23:08] hi all [23:08] hi sergemd [23:09] i have an question: it is possible to use gutsy repositories for ubuntu feisty ? [23:09] HorizonXP, well, not necessarily, but they can help against brute force crackers -- they are likely to exhaust all combinations of numbers and letters before going on to use special characters, so it'll probably take them longer to crack a password with specials [23:09] Pelo-> okay, I'll do it. thanks. [23:09] anewbieph, but seriously , this kind of stuff shoudln't be happening, maybe reboot the comp that might reset some keybaord thing or soemthing [23:09] supreme hello [23:09] :D [23:09] sergemd: it's possible, but you'll probably mess it up [23:09] Pelo-> I know,. been using ubuntu for more than a year now. no problem like this ever. [23:09] sergemd: why not upgrade? [23:10] has anyone used NXserver here before? [23:10] soundray, i like feisy, but probaly i will stay with feisty repositories [23:10] unop__: hmm..... well, I'm guessing if this is a login to my credit card website, I shouldn't be too worried about that right? I mean, limits of how quickly you can connect, and my bank should 'freeze' my account after so many attempts, correct? [23:10] I just installed openssh, I am looking at the config file sshd_config. Can you limit was system users are allowed to login? [23:10] I just ran sudo rm -r /usr/local/src. Can I recover it? What was in that folder? [23:10] Pelo-> as an added info. my Konqueror does not seem to display this same problem. [23:10] anewbieph, if you decide to upgrade , I would suggest you do it now and get the beta of hardy, it's pretty stable as it is and will upgrade from dapper [23:11] db-keen: undelete on ext3 filesystems is extremely difficult. Ubuntu stores nothing in /usr/local/src, so there wasn't anything important there unless you placed it there yourself [23:11] anewbieph, it,s probabaly specific to firefox then, either some package got borked or it's just being stupid, try rebooting , it might help [23:11] Pelo-> I don't have hardy at the moment. However, I have Gutsy. Can ti do ti from there? [23:11] i tried to start ubuntu from the cd and it just stops at a line saying loading boot scripts, anyone know why this would happen? [23:11] HorizonXP, well, yes, in those circumstances no cracker would try brute force guessing a password and would likely exploit another weaker link in the chain -- and the strength of passwords in that instance isnt the weakest link [23:12] Pelo-> Okay, I will. thanks. [23:12] Pelo, thanks for the help though. For future reference, the /etc/defaults/snmp line to SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 0.0.0.0' [23:12] anewbieph, you can'T upgrade from dapper to gutsy , but you can clean install , just copy your /home folder to a seperate partiton [23:12] Is there a command I can type into the terminal that would allow me to identify a keyboard key's name? [23:12] Could anyone tell me how to make VLC the Default player in Feisty? [23:12] unop__: what would be? I'm guessing that if that weak link were exploited, there's not much I could do? [23:12] frostburn, you I'll try and remember that [23:12] i am wanting to make it apper as though i live in the US i live in england but a website is only avalable to people in the US is there any software that can do that [23:13] hola sala [23:13] eax system>preferences>multimedia tab [23:13] sala?

[23:13] eax, select one file of each file type, right click, properties, open with tab , add vlc to the selection and make it default, repeat for each file type [23:13] Pelo-> yes... that I gathered previously. But I was asking maybe you know how. Thanks. I will reboot now. bye. [23:13] jessica: hm, some php code that checks IP and looks it up in a ip-to-country db?

[23:26] michael__: Actually, do the other players go through the motions of playing the file (the time scrolls, etc.) but you just get no sound? You could try running those programs from the terminal and watch for any feedback when you play the file. [23:26] what is mythbuntu? [23:26] soundry: Like the server is busy or something [23:26] creationist: thats exactly what hppens [23:26] michael__, I don't know what you are talking about [23:26] !mythbuntu | unocrash [23:26] unocrash: Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [23:27] creationist: so your saying open the MP3 itself in the terminal?? or just the player [23:27] michael__: Then definitely give it a shot from a terminal first... then try reinstalling the xine libraries. [23:27] JPSman: try again in a while then, or select a different mirror [23:27] ahhh [23:27] michael__: Open just the player (like typing 'mplayer' in the terminal), then load the file with the player.

[23:34] boxybrown: ask in #ubuntu+1 [23:34] ok [23:34] could someone explain to me the differences between server edition, alternative, and minimal editions? [23:34] <_maw> soundray: they're a new type of drm file used on cell phones. want to convert to mp3 [23:34] i know what minimal ubuntu is [23:34] <_maw> soundray: was thinking of ways to work around it [23:34] but are they all the same? [23:35] alternative is only another setup cd [23:35] it installs the same system [23:35] it has no live desktop on it [23:35] it installs the ubuntu-desktop? [23:35] Mighty_Penguin alternative is the same, but it doesn't use the liveCD to install it has a different installation [23:35] but a text based installer only [23:35] anyone know were i can get the totem mp3 plugins??? [23:35] alternative is the same as minimal, only not net install? [23:36] Mighty_Penguin, the minimal cd has no packages on cd [23:36] Mighty_Penguin-> nope [23:36] it downloads everything from the internet during the installation [23:37] there is no difference in the resulting installation [23:37] OK, so the alternative install just isnt live.. it still installs the desktop? correct? [23:37] hi, I tried to write a script that monitors mem usage, though it is not working as I though, any of you can give me a hint? http://wklej.org/txt/e21c00bb3b [23:37] ok [23:37] normal: live desktop with eye candy installer [23:37] alternative: text based installer [23:37] yeah but the minimal isnt always the best unless your sure you arent going to need any of the packages like i got my wifi working with just packages on my cd other words id have no internet [23:37] minimal: only installer, packages come from the internet [23:37] i dont want the livecd installer or a desktop, ok [23:38] jessica I've just checked my list and you need a distorting proxy in America, might work then [23:38] so whats the difference between server and minimal edition? [23:38] seems to me that they install just about the same packages [23:38] Mighty_Penguin, server edition is a type of installation, not a type of installation cd [23:38] minimal may install a full desktop [23:39] server is built to better handle a server pc, ie more kernal time\memory to daemons, no eye candy/frills [23:39] well thats like asking the difference between a chevy and a ford mighty_duck [23:39] .. so. the server edition doesnt install a command line system? sorry but you just got me confused [23:39] erle64-: there are server installation cds, though [23:40] soundray, that are only alternative-like cds [23:40] the difference ist the packages, which are on cd [23:40] #wine [23:40] What's the Hardy channel? [23:40] so you do not need to download them [23:40] init_6, there is a chan called #ubuntu-testing [23:40] !minimal | Mighty_Penguin [23:40] Mighty_Penguin: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:40] !server | Mighty_Penguin [23:40] Mighty_Penguin: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [23:40] erle64 thanks [23:41] init_6: you're looking for #ubuntu+1 [23:41] hey [23:41] erle64-: you confused me by saying that the server edition was a type of installation [23:41] hello all [23:41] thanks for the help [23:41] Mighty_Penguin, the difference is: "what packages are on the cd?" [23:42] packages which are not on cd, you must install from the net [23:42] were can i find a kernel-smp ? using 8.04 not in repo's ? [23:42] well i dont really care for whats on the cd, i wanted to know what the differences was when after you install the server edition and minimal edition [23:42] aryr100, the generic kernel is SMP [23:42] they seem pretty much the same [23:42] Anyone know how to install Latex "packages" individually instead of having to do a whole bunch? [23:42] aryr100, it is in gutsy SMP as well [23:42] aryr100: hardy questions in #ubuntu+1 please... All kernels since feisty have been SMP by default [23:43] why no dual process support ? [23:43] Mighty_Penguin, the minimal edition is no flavor of installed system [23:43] its only a smaller cd [23:43] Can you manually modify the system uptime ? [23:43] hi all i updated my 7.10 to the current version and my screen resolution is dead i cant get more than 800x600 any help [23:43] it installs nothing special [23:43] erle64-: .. i know what it is [23:43] comp. crash [23:43] eh [23:43] aryr100: there is dual-processor support by default [23:43] i want to know what the differences are in the system's itself [23:44] Mighty_Penguin, the differences between server and desktop? [23:44] minimal installs a normal desktop [23:44] kk will look again [23:44] like once i have installed minimal and server, whats the differences between them on the hard disk... is what i'm asking [23:44] nothing different [23:44] must have ran wrong cmd [23:44] minimal installs a cli system.. [23:44] no [23:44] Mighty_Penguin-> what exactly is your concern? if we can turn around and ask you instead? [23:45] the only difference of minimal to the normal cd is that there are no packages on the cd [23:45] hey anyone know the difference between the kubuntu restricted extras and the ubuntu restricted extras? [23:45] the installation will download it from the internet while installing [23:45] Is there a Mac OSX Emulator for Linux? [23:45] or ubuntu to be specific. [23:45] unocrash: im sure you could probably find one [23:45] kk [23:46] Mighty_Penguin, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:46] When I start Ubuntu, it mounts my windows share on the desktop, but when I access it, it says "couldn't display all the contents" [23:46] amenado: i just want to know the difference between the Ubuntu server edition (not cd, its 400something mbs and has the packages on the cd, and installs a cli system) the minimal system is 9mbs and is a net install, it also installs a cli system, i want to know what the difference is between the two... once they are installed on a hard disk, any differences in packages installed etc.. [23:46] michael_: Well..... 1. One is for kubuntu and the others for Ubuntu [23:46] Mighty_Penguin: the kernels are different [23:46] Mighty_Penguin, i think you did not understand === googlah is now known as googlah|g0ne [23:47] the normal cd and the minimal cd install the same system [23:47] normal meaning the livecd? [23:47] the server cd installs a little different system [23:47] yes [23:47] erm [23:47] read that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:47] dude, i've installed the minimal cd serveral times ending up ina cli system.. [23:47] I recently added a 2nd hd and I shared a folder on the new hd via samba, however the windows computer crashes everytime it tries to access the new share. [23:48] Mighty_Penguin: The server installs a kernel optimised for server applications. Also some applications like apache2 mysql and php. The minimal system basically only makes you a bootable box with some tools, which you then use to install what you need over internet. [23:48] thank you genii ! [23:48] Mighty_Penguin, then its because of the options you choose [23:48] Mighty_Penguin-> are your concern about missing a package? a tool? a service? what is it you need to satisfy your needs? [23:48] genii answered my question as i needed... [23:49] how can I get tinyproxy to allow connections on eth0? [23:49] I just installed the ubuntustudio-look package! [23:49] join #ubuntu_de [23:49] i dont see how that was so hard, sorry for the frustration [23:49] Mighty_Penguin, the minimal CD is useful if you want a system but have no need for a fully fledged desktop too [23:49] i know.. [23:49] Mighty_Penguin, i have to sorry [23:49] i use the minimal cd alot.. [23:49] how i come in the german ubuntu ??
