[00:07] or i if i open ati control centre it tells me that i dont have graphic driver installed [00:07] unop, i will check [00:07] cola, acc for linux?

Anyone know any fixes. I do no have the computer hooked up to a printer [00:07] reya276, none im using firefox beta 5 and openoffice its ok and gimp i havent used too much but i guess its ok [00:08] So what does everyone use to listen to music in Ubuntu? whats the best? [00:08] unop: Wellll, after spilling half a glass of pepsi all over my desk, then putting it on the floor so I didn't spill while I cleaned it up, then kicking it as I walked out, then cleaning THAT up... :D I'm back. What is the build-essential package? How do I get that? [00:08] kunzy amarok [00:08] kunzy, Amarok? [00:08] unop: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com and security.* both time out [00:08] is there a application out there where I could record my desktop? and upload it to sites like youtube, personal sites? [00:08] brian_: sudo apt-get install build-essential or look in system > administration > synaptic package manager [00:08] * binarical-app thinks brian learned a lesson [00:08] kunzy: audacious.. cuz i don't like bastard KDE libs.. :) [00:08] ricanelite, let me see im interested in that :D [00:08] I just acquired an old Gateway2000 P5-60 w/Win95 and want to put ubuntu on it. (or xubuntu). The AMI bios doesn't allow for booting to the CD rom.. how do I get around this? [00:09] unop: it's weird because apache is definitely accessible by the outside world... this is a brand new install too [00:09] Starnestommy: Ah, of course... Thanks [00:09] ok, looks like amarok is the popular. But i will look into audacious [00:09] brian_: it contains necessary programs, libraries, and tools for building new programs from sourcd [00:09] *source [00:09] ricanelite: i t hink the program is called exactly that, recordmydesktop [00:09] tortoise---, what does apache have to do with apt?

[00:10] Scunizi, could you connect it to the internet and download the install directly to it? [00:10] yeah [00:10] linkinxp: i imagine, you probably just end up putting it on youtube, etc [00:10] tortoise---, errm, can you ping those mirrors? [00:10] ricanelite: put their name at the beginning of the message [00:10] ricanelite: you just say my name, thats all. [00:10] IndyGunFreak, i mean in realtime [00:10] unop_: they time out, all of them that i see [00:11] IndyGunFeak thanks [00:11] linkinxp: oh, now that i don't know. [00:11] w00t [00:11] IndyGunFreak, ill check thanks [00:11] emma: I just stuck an old nic card into it.. but how would I download directly to it for install? I'm missing something. [00:11] tortoise---, are you using the standard mirrors? [00:11] Starnestommy: Out of curiousity, why does my laptop have that? I haven't installed anything on it in the past coupla months since I installed Ubuntu, and I've certainly never installed that package manually [00:11] ricanelite: lol, didn't work..lol, you probably used a space or something.. use tab to autocomplete names [00:11] Gopher99: hello [00:11] Stamesstommy: okay [00:11] !test [00:11] Failed. [00:11] tortoise---, actually, let's have a look at your sources.list -- can you use a !pastebin and show it to us?

[00:12] Starnestommy: Never installed it, yet the program I'm usin works great :S same program as I'm trying on the other computer [00:12] IndyGunFreak: no, i was testing something else [00:12] lndyGunFreak:um [00:12] oh ok. [00:12] Scunizi, I thought if you could download the whole cd to the hard drive, then you could use that. [00:12] i give up [00:12] lol [00:12] IndyGunFreak, no broadcast :P [00:12] ricanelite: oh i see the prob, your'e using L as the first letter.. should be an I..(i) [00:12] IndyGunFreak, ahhh there we go! [00:12] :) [00:13] IndyGunFreak, nice [00:13] ricanelite, does your client not have tab-completion? [00:13] unop_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62374/ ... it had a space at the top as well [00:13] ricanelite: anyways, recordmydesktop is in the repos, should be pretty easy to install, but i have no experience in its use [00:13] Please, help: I was trying to recover the Windows mbr through Ubuntu with ms-sys --mbr /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda, and now my windows partition is unbootable... [00:13] ricanelite, i just installed its pretty easy but it doesnt broadcast [00:13] emma, no that won't work.. there would be no way to boot to the installer.. [00:14] tortoise---, you've got 'gutsy' spelt wrong :) [00:14] linkinxp: i think he said before he wanted to put it on youtube [00:14] Scunizi - could you put it on many many floppies? [00:14] IndyGunFreak, ho my bad :( [00:14] unop_: in the sources.list, really... [00:14] unop_: spelt isn't a word.. it's "spelled".. :) [00:14] unop_: that's FUNNY... that's what it came installed with [00:14] haha, zing [00:15] I have a peculiar problem. If I connect my 1080p to my laptop while I'm in gnome, not only do I get a low resolution on my laptop, I also get a low resolution on the 1080p. If I connect it before GDM, I get full resolution on my laptop and 1080p. I'm using xrandr. [00:15] emma.. your right.. many.. 640 of them [00:15] duli: not so bad, it could be worse, k so what you did was enter some mumbel jumbel insto the boot loader, now try doing the same thing you did using hd0 instead [00:15] it might be normal but i notice some windows are really big and my screen resolution is fine [00:15] and also icons as well [00:15] unop_: still, why would the repository not resolve?

Tks for now [00:16] unop_: no matter, it works now anyways. thanks! that's weird!

I want to dual boot Ubuntu and XP but I don't know if my wifi will work. Will the [00:17] GIGABYTE GN-WP01GS work in Linux? [00:17] sry for the 2 lines [00:17] elmer, ndiswrapper :) [00:17] it should be with restricted devices in Ubuntu Gusty [00:17] I have 7.10, and when I go to open one of my files(KDXServer.lexe) from terminal, after I've made it executable, it says "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Whats wrong? :( I tried installing the build-essential package as was suggested, didn't help [00:17] elmer: a lot depends on the chipset of your wireless device, but most of them will work w/ ndiswrapper. [00:17] emma, I'm reading this link .. sounds interesting. http://tinyurl.com/3exghs [00:17] !hardware | elmargol look here and see if you're wireless device is known to cause problems [00:17] elmargol look here and see if you're wireless device is known to cause problems: 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 [00:17] Another challenge: I don't really want to move my PC all around to get to an ethernet cable. Is there a way to do it without having an internet connection? [00:18] Scunizi, funnily enough - "spelled" isn't a word in the oxford dictionary [00:18] the only thing that is great about Gusty 7.10 is the restricted devices which helps and make life easy when installing wifi and graphics card [00:18] elmer: its a lot tougher. [00:18] unop_: :) [00:18] elmer: look at this :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189143 [00:18] binarical-app, ok [00:18] elmer, on the wiki [00:19] but where is the soucre for ubuntu's /bin/login :| [00:19] ALPSINC, what on the wiki? [00:19] binarical-app, that link has no info in it. Sorry. [00:19] elmer, the way to do ndiswrapper without internet [00:19] O [00:19] thanks [00:19] unop_: deskbar's dictionary has it.. might be the differance between British english and American English. [00:19] it was on there, and google also helps :) [00:20] Scunizi, i don't really care about american english to be honest :) [00:20] anyone here using multiple displays know how to spread the task bars across each display so only applications on that display show up in the task bar? [00:20] god, thanks folks [00:20] ALPSINC, the actual source code or the package that contains that file? [00:20] sort of like what Ultramon can do in Windows [00:20] elmer: this might help.. http://roshan18.wordpress.com/2007/05/30/ubuntu-without-internet-connection-or-full-package-cddvds/ [00:20] unop_, the actual source [00:20] elmer: there are different methods to get hardware to function in ubuntu, for wifi we have ndiswrapper . it uses the windows drivers and wraps them nicly to run in ubuntu. there is also mad wifi. mad wifi make almost any wifi card run [00:20] IndyGunFreak, so what packages do I add to Ubuntu? [00:21] ALPSINC, apt-get source login [00:21] i'm gonna pimp out mah login make it like the good ol mainframe z/os style [00:21] elmer: nevermind, i just realized thats telling you to go to another linux box. [00:21] binarical-app, so should I use mad wifi or ndis? [00:21] unop_, ok, and where can i find the source after i do that? [00:21] I used Xubuntu for a bit, but only with ethernet because I couldn't get wifi to work [00:21] IndyGunFreak, OK, thanks [00:21] ALPSINC, it should download it into the current directory [00:21] When I go to open one of my files(KDXServer.lexe) from terminal, after I've made it executable, it says "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

The bios miss the cutoff date (1999) and I have tried booting it with options acpi=force acpi=off acpi=old boot but nothing seems to keep it from freezing at "Starting common Unix Printing Cupsd". Anyone know any fixes. I do no have the computer hooked up to a printer [00:22] elmer: madwifi must be built, there are very comprehensive how toos on mad wifi. ndiswrapper can be obtained thru apt therefore might be easyer for you to try out [00:22] yes [00:22] definitely [00:22] brian_, try this -- sudo aptitude install build-essential libstdc++5 [00:22] Ok, got another problem. My computer went to sleep and didnt wake up. When i rebooted it, it loaded a default GRUB menu i guess. Because i no longer have XP as a boot option and the modifications i made to the ubuntu boot are gone. Can anyone please copy and paste their menu.lst for GRUB that uses XP? And can anyone tell me why it does that? thanks [00:23] unop_: Ok, one sec. [00:23] I have a bunch of tech experience, but I am like a duck in a blender when it comes to WiFi on Linux [00:23] binarical-app, so can I somehow get ndis in windows and add it to a 7.10 cd?

[00:25] elmer, if you are starting out stick with the 32-bit version to save yourself from a few headaches but if you want to utilize the full potential of your hardware, go with the 64-bit version [00:25] !grub [00:25] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[00:28] brian_, they, alike addicts, have to help themselves first. [00:28] I have 2 partitions already [00:28] brian_, it's hard to say, i can only assume that apt didnt maintain the proper list of packages or failed to install build-essential properly [00:28] 1 just for windows [00:28] 1 for data [00:28] when I try to run Envy, I get the message "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: debhelper" What does this mean?

[00:29] is a compaq presario 1675 too old for xubuntu? [00:29] I don't remember [00:29] mariobro: it means that you shouldn't run Envy [00:29] are the special effects working too [00:29] mariobro: run sudo apt-get install debhelper [00:29] Hello [00:30] unop_: Ah, yeh, thats probably it... Took me two trys to install it, first one froze up. The second time probably just messed up too. Is there some easy command that installs everything from the CD that was SUPPOSED to be installed? Not that it matters now, but, just incase :) [00:30] does anybody know how to make a setting not mandatory anymore in gconf-editor? [00:30] Helllo [00:30] dux [00:30] get a new cd, if you wait for a week or so hardy will be out and you can try that. be sure to update your system right after the installation...... that may figure the problem for you right away [00:30] what package is agetty in? [00:30] Is ubuntu made to be so slow and bloated? [00:30] I remember when I installed Xubuntu on an old 700 MHz, it had to be connected via ethernet [00:30] does hardy support hotplug usb devices suach as tablets and external hard drives [00:30] $ sudo apt-get install debhelper [00:30] Reading package lists... Done [00:30] Building dependency tree [00:30] Reading state information... Done [00:30] Package debhelper is not available, but is referred to by another package. [00:30] mariobro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:30] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [00:30] do I truly have to move my PC to install Ubuntu and get my wifi working? [00:30] seespotrun: you may be bloating it with a gui ;D [00:31] brian_, errm, yes, it might take much longer than the CD install but - sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(dpkg -l | cut -c 3-30) [00:31] elmer: can you lan boot? [00:31] why is ubuntu so slow [00:31] how do i fix it? [00:31] binarical-app, I don't entirely understand what you mean [00:31] But see, the typical user lacks the ability to change GUI's. it's not really worht it to them, I can't for the life of me understand why Gnome is so process itnensive [00:31] seespotrun: bloated, maybe you have an ancient pc, because ubuntu is extremely fast [00:31] When Ubuntu 8.04 is released will it contain wubi in it or do I go to wubi's website and will wubi inclue Ubuntu? I wish to have both wubi, and Ubuntu stable (not beta) when 8.04 is released.

[00:36] Mindloop: Well, what is your hardware like? [00:36] and in slackware, i was able to run compiz, all of the effects, all of that. without speed loss [00:36] because i think ubuntu's simply too unstable to be of any use as a replacement [00:36] Slackware is great [00:36] !ot [00:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[00:39] amarok is a hog though =/ [00:40] mindloop: I spent days of my time trying to configure ubuntu to work... and all I get is a buggy, slow piece that hardly functions as an operating system [00:40] elmer i want you to download the mad wifi package from the mad wifi site, in the mean time ill find you a simple how to install okay?

[00:43] anyone? [00:43] Survivorman, I know that much. I am a regular on a few more obscure IRC channels. [00:43] bulio, not to offend you, but google can answer questions like that much faster and better than us (because we would have to go to goole to answer your question anyway) [00:43] elmer.. just guessing but it might be something like.. sudo /etc/init.d/jackd restart [00:43] a [00:43] Jester009: change your bios setting to boot from cdrom, turn off your hd , save , reboot [00:44] Scunizi, tbh, I don't know what you are talking about [00:44] binarical-app: thanks ill try that [00:44] elmer, sorry wrong nick..

It still has the OS installed. I am using ubuntu-7.10-desktop i-386 [00:52] hey... whats an easy program to combine a video w/ audio with other audio video sources? [00:53] Siph0n: kino is pretty easy [00:53] elmer: okay give it a shot, dont worry i dont think you can brek much, at worst it wont install. but have fun and be saf, if you have a question ask the man like: man man or man help or man wifi. find specific instances of what you need to know read read read [00:53] don't use wubi,afraid of data loss,os failure,try virtual machine ,then [00:53] binarical-app, I am going to try it, but first I have to install Ubuntu [00:54] in 18 days we can talk about hardy in here, not before then though, or if you wish to discuss it now, #ubuntu+1 guys, just a general blurt out, for nobody specific. [00:54] * binarical-app shakes his head and prays a silent prayer [00:54] binarical-app, but I think I have to have a connection to even install it. Or at least I had to in Xubunty Text Installer. [00:55] another 108M of updates, I only updated last night!! [00:55] zcat[1], what app ? [00:55] zcat[1], udates for what? [00:55] Jester009: okay so you need to resore grub as i see, try turning your hds back on, and change their priority like: cd then hd okay? [00:55] *updates [00:55] Pelo: hardy ... [00:56] i am trying to watch mlb.tv on firefox but since I am running Linux, firefox is telling their server that im not running windows. I can get a menu on Wine version of Firefox that allows me to view a stream that is doesn't require Silverlight, in LINUX i cannot get that screen [00:56] running it on three machines here, it's pretty good so far but by gum there are a lot of updates every day [00:56] zcat[1], you have to expect that, beta get updates to fix every single bug they can resolve before it is officialy out [00:56] binarical-app: that it how it is set right now. [00:56] I know this is an ubuntu channel, but what do you guys think of fedora? [00:56] how can i switch tty with command line [00:56] ShiFTKey, balls [00:56] zcat[1], you havent been keeping up with the updates then or has it just been a few days since you installed it? [00:56] ShiFTKey, we don't think about it [00:56] ctrl-alt Fx [00:56] where f = 1 - 6 [00:56] ShiFTKey, they're package management system is about as mature as a child [00:56] elmer: your going to be in trouble without a cable connection. but go ahead and give the system an install, dhcp can configure at a later time [00:56] I mean x [00:56] no, 108M of updates since last night! [00:56] and whith command line [00:57] yes, I hate their package management [00:57] apt is so much better [00:57] is there a comfortable way to switch between propietary flash player and another plugin (gnash, swfdec)? [00:57] Anyone know how to watch mlb.tv on Linux? [00:57] zcat[1], i didnt have that many since last night, like 108 [00:57] seyacat man switchto [00:57] Jester009, I googled your problem and read about 6 posts with a few people with the same issue. In the end, they used the alternate cd. [00:57] ty [00:57] zcat[1], I heard you correctly , but like I said , betas get lots of updates to finish fixing the bugs before release [00:57] zcat[1], i had like maybe 4 :) [00:57] *6 forums [00:57] binarical-app, I don't actually use DHCP in windows. I have OpenDNS and a static IP set up. Would it be hard to tell ubuntu to do the same? [00:57] whenever i wake my box up from sleeping/suspending, it won't except my password. i can hit switch user, and log in fine, and my applications are still up, but whenever it's waking up it won't take my password. is this known at all..... [00:58] nz repos sometimes get a bit behind.. might be two days of updates backed up [00:58] Jester009: so you cant boot anything ? how about windows. [00:58] *accept [00:58] survivorman: would the alternate cd be the server version?

[00:58] ok, is there a way to generate an email certificate? [00:59] SurvivorMan: yes that is right. [00:59] * Pelo laughs at the notion of jpw27_ 's computer being startled by an unexpected password [00:59] anyone use MLB.tv? [00:59] elmer which part you dont understand? using a static ip address? [00:59] Jester009, the alternate is an installation only cd, no live cd. [00:59] Siph0n: it converts them on the fly, you might need to install ffmpeg tho (it should be a dependancy) [00:59] has any body use ubuntu studio [00:59] thanks man [00:59] wobbiebobbie, yes [00:59] Survivorman: is the download available on the same page as the live cd iso? [00:59] amenado, the English doesn't make sense. Sorry. Is there just like a box I put in my DNS and IP? [00:59] elmer: using static ip is a bit expensive. other wise i think its great [00:59] Jester009, yes. Under the download link, there should be a checkbox for the alternate cd. [01:00] Pelo: i do find it a little humorous/odd, but it doesn't make it any less annoying :) [01:00] elmer: yes, during the install choose 'manual' network setup instead of automatic [01:00] binarical-app, expensive? I mean static internal IP, not external [01:00] If I open snap manger and down load it will it integrate with ubuntu [01:00] SurvivorMan,binarical-app: thanks for both your help ill try the alternate cd *crosses fingers* [01:00] zcat[1], thanks [01:00] it WILL work [01:00] Jester009, good luck :) [01:00] jpw27_, suspend/hibernate is touchy in linux at the best of times but I'm guessing this particular issue is probably covered in the forum , do a search www.ubuntuforums.org [01:01] MLB.tv anyone?> [01:01] elmer: or you can just change it after the install, network manager on the taskbar, change it from dhcp to static [01:01] ubuntu studio wont mess up any thing [01:01] thanks Pelo, i'm off to the forums then [01:01] hibernate/suspend hardly works on ANY computer, ive heard nothing but nightmare stories jpw27_ :/ [01:01] i have a script that i want to run from F2 without the path. any ideas?

[01:39] this was my setup before i started using linux :p http://cshadowrun.googlepages.com/mycomputer.PNG [01:39] * LjL is not sure what #ubuntu-cn has to do with this [01:39] <_Silhouette_> should I back them up first? [01:39] I'm using feisty/kubuntu. When using Konqueror as a file manager, I find that every time I click on a folder, it opens a new window, even when konqueror's is set to not do so. Is this an ubuntu/kubuntu feature for all file managers, set at some other settings dialog? [01:39] check out the bottom left screens, that's what i'm aiming at. [01:39] CShadowRun: Then try Xchat which i beleieve can be modded via scripts. [01:39] CShadowRun: geez, that looks ridiculous. D: [01:40] * Pelo thinks LjL should stay out of it , it seems very complicated [01:40] eXcentra why? :p [01:40] CShadowRun: haha, too busy for me :p [01:40] _Silhouette_: that is the boot partition , so you may need your rescue cd to make the system boot again. [01:40] eXcentra haha, busy screens for busy people :p [01:40] <_Silhouette_> binarical-app: OK, but will it delete anything? [01:40] haha [01:40] <_Silhouette_> Do I need to make backups first? [01:41] _Silhouette_, i am wasting my time,binarical-app will walk you through it [01:41] but yea, what would i be aiming at to acheive something like that in linux? [01:41] i would run mIRC in wine but alot of the scripting functions don't work :( [01:41] _Silhouette_: wrighting to hd0.0 will over write the master boot record. [01:41] <_Silhouette_> I don't speak Chinese. [01:41] <_Silhouette_> I don't want to go to a chinese channel. [01:42] you could speank english ,they could answer you in english,no probem then? [01:42] _Silhouette_: instead if you did correct work, you should have a boot loader to boot linux as well. but i cant check your math for you [01:42] Hello [01:42] I'm trying to install ubuntu onto my hard drive via livecd [01:42] ok, i have a good copy of ubuntu 7.10 iso. I used to use nero 6 to burn boot cd's from .iso's. Now that i am using nero 8 i cant find a similar option. I have googled but came up short. So what do you recomend that i use to burn a boot cd? I am usuing vista at the moment. (man i miss linux:'-() [01:42] but when I try to create a partition [01:43] it tells me that I can't [01:43] Remagen, try to keep it to one line, it's easier [01:43] hi, how come when I type su and then enter my password it tells me that password authentication failed? [01:43] _Silhouette_: it comes down to you needing to configure your system. it should work and vista will still be ther because its not on hd0,0 . [01:43] _Silhouette_, i am trying to help,if you don't like,and have some idea of chinese channel,goodbye [01:43] Remagen, you have windows installed arlready ? you need to resize the windows partiton first to make room [01:43] anybody using ltsp on hardy 8.04? [01:43] Remagen, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [01:43] Enix: Use ISO Recorder google for it, it works with vista but make sure to get the right version [01:43] Is there anything that will convert a fat32 to an EXTx filesystem? [01:43] _Silhouette_: however if your work is fulty then you may need your rescue disks to fix the master boot record [01:43] <_Silhouette_> binarical-app: I don't know what that all means, sorry. I don't know what a boot loader is [01:44] fbc, not without loosing the data [01:44] _Silhouette_: grub is a boot loader [01:44] i was working on a locadev problem and then went through a DebugLocDev wiki page to change the root passwd in the chroot and now my client won't boot- permission dened... [01:44] jtld: ok thanks [01:44] Pelo, damn... [01:44] fbc ? [01:44] nvm [01:44] <_Silhouette_> oh [01:44] <_Silhouette_> yes I'm using grub [01:44] * Pelo is getting old and confused [01:44] FBC: Just boot with a Live CD mount the drives and copy your FAT32 data over to the Ext partition. [01:44] <_Silhouette_> I'm following the instructions on the tinyurl url in !install [01:44] * binarical-app waves to pelo === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [01:45] Pelo, I got a 500gb fat32 drive that I would like to convert [01:45] lol [01:45] _Silhouette_: how else can i help you [01:45] * Pelo feels treatened by binarical-app shaking his hands at him [01:45] Pelo: [01:45] So guys, how can I make a partition to install ubuntu? I run the install manager from a livecd, and it tells me that "no root file system is defined" [01:45] * binarical-app turns away in fera [01:45] Pelo, I got nothing bigger to backup the data to... [01:45] how can i find where openssl is installed on my box? [01:45] *fear [01:45] fbc, back up the data , and make an ext3 partition , then copy the data back [01:46] I get a kernel panic but without any real errors before it, and the only thing during boot that looks suspicious is a call to name_to_dev_t() which is passed a dev uuid that i certainly dont recognize and its not for my hd. Also, nothing ends up in kern.log, which made me believe the hd could be failing, but in live cd i have no problem using it and fsck turns out ok (although i fixed a lot of multiply claimed blocks) [01:46] Pelo: FYI to fix the frostwire 64 issue: sudo update-alternatives --config java and select option 5 [01:46] its installed, i just dont know where/how to find it [01:46] <_Silhouette_> binarical-app: so you say that the worst that can happen is I have to maybe get the CD to boot the system, but no data should be lost on C:\ or on F:\ where it will be installed, and that if I follow the instructions in the tinyurl blog post, I should have no problems and it will let me choose exactly where I want it installed, correct? [01:46] charles|64, congrats [01:46] aight i am back once again, i am still having problems with connecting ubuntu thru wireless using an acer aspire 5040 with an atheros 2413 wireless integrated card on a laptop [01:46] fbc, got any free space on that hdd ? [01:47] Pelo: thank you [01:47] <_Silhouette_> it won't format the HD during install or anything, right? [01:47] _Silhouette_: it depends on alot of things, but yes that is the gist of it. make sure you back your data up.... is one last bit of advice [01:47] <_Silhouette_> okay maybe I should do a backup first. [01:47] <_Silhouette_> on both drives or just the external HD? [01:47] fbc, still there ? [01:47] Pelo, yeah like 100 gb.. are you recommending I resize copy resize,etc, until the whole thing is converted? [01:47] _Silhouette_, #ubuntu-cn,they are hdinstall expert [01:47] hi I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good usb webcam that they use with ubuntu [01:48] _Silhouette_: you will need to make a partition on which linux will be installed, you may cut into the c drive [01:48] fbc, pretty much , , no other way I can see to go about it [01:48] aight i am back once again, i am still having problems with connecting ubuntu thru wireless using an acer aspire 5040 with an atheros 2413 wireless integrated card on a laptop [01:48] hello. I use 7.10, and sound has broken. The tester provided by Ubuntu works with OSS, cat /dev/urandom>/dev/dsp is OK. But there is no other program, which can make sound. Picture of my settings: http://ratkymarcell.extra.hu/hang.png , pls help, if you can [01:48] _Silhouette_: oh then no if its gonna stay on the external then i dont think so [01:48] ohp: Logitech Quickcam [01:48] _Silhouette_: just dont mess up you internal hd [01:49] fbc, actualy, check the optons, you can you cna probably have a bunch of contiguous ext3 partion and then merge them [01:49] Pelo, hmm.. or maybe just wait until there is a defrag system for fat32... [01:49] <_Silhouette_> binarical-app: yes it's just for external HD, not internal [01:49] fbc, it would be worth the trouble to move everything to ext3 [01:49] okay then that should work, did you make the ext hd bootable before you started? [01:49] I'm running 8.04 and have a rt61 wifi card - using the ndiswrapper method locks up my system - is this a known problem? [01:49] * icesword thinks noone notice there is a dir chinese in grub4dos,which may probrably means some chinese guy wrote it,lol [01:50] fbc: Diskeeper Defrag was made for FAT32 originally.

[01:58] Well, i can't really find anything usefull on name_to_dev_t() on google, and it seems somewhat logical that the wrong uuid being sent as an argument to that function cant be helping the situation, so any ideas on why the wrong uuid could be sent to that function might at least point in the right direction [01:58] I can not execute an application in wine from a CD-R.

If i could get a log to read when im booting from livecd i can atleast look at what happened and hopefully find some clue. WOuld the fact that no log is written to disk imply that the failure happens before disks are ready to be written to (mounted)? And are there any ways the swap space could be broken in a way that it would result in a kernel panic? As [02:03] i didnt know any were running? [02:03] no, thanks LjL.

[02:14] Astralian: eric be right back 5min [02:14] grego22: after booting dvd-rw it says ok [02:14] !aptfix | eric [02:14] eric: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [02:14] Astralian: : id recommend a minimum swap size of 1536MB [02:14] Astralian: look for this option on live boot, and search for errors in dvd [02:14] eric: sorry open [02:14] psmith: I ca't install [02:14] psmith: can't [02:14] eric: use the mouse to close un need applications [02:14] i understand nothing about what you just said [02:14] eric, try running in terminal: sudo apt-get clean [02:15] psmith: JFS has even better journalling capabilities [02:15] Does anyone know what port to forward if I want to use vncviewer?

[02:16] brian_:http://www.realvnc.com/support/faq.html [02:16] psmith: where can i get it? [02:16] slackware? [02:17] aight still have not resolved the issue about the wireless in ubuntu [02:17] What could be the reason that there are nothing logged during boot until i get the kernel panic? Would the fact that no log is written to disk imply that the failure happens before disks are ready to be written to (mounted)? And are there any ways the swap space could be broken in a way that it would result in a kernel panic? As the uuid sent to name_to_dev_t() i just realized actually is the uuid for my swap partition [02:17] hmmm, so I guess ext3 it is :) [02:17] I don't really need super speed, just need it to work [02:17] psmith: I tried Mandriva 2008 and it installs and runs successfully! [02:17] brian_: first you have to finde out what the server name is. maby you are running tightvnc? any way ---> ps aux | grep vnc or something should figure out of that. then you do ---> netstat -anp|grep name-of-ap, and then you can se the port. you could also reconfigure the pory (that's prob. the easyes way) [02:17] * binarical-app thinks Datalanche is ready for hardy [02:17] binarical-app: Ah, thanks, that confirms it. 5900.

[03:04] DOOM_NX: there is a command line utility called unrar that should work, though i've never used it [03:04] is there a way to make nautilus do list view on the desktop? [03:04] unrar e [03:04] the package is called unrar [03:04] anyone? "/sbin/init not a directory" sounds like a failure someone must have encountered. And since i've fsck-d the partition and fixed everything it cant be a broken partition? [03:04] might need to install unrar first, i don't think it's installed by default. at least on gutsy [03:04] hey guys... i got someone connected to my router, i dont mind that hes on, but is there a way i can message him just to let him know that i know hes on my network [03:04] Shiva88: it's not [03:05] ToddEDM: tell your router to disconnect him, restart it, or find out where he is and contact him in person [03:06] GENERAL ADVISRE PLEASE DO your reaserch (I.E. readind man pages, browsing forums ( ubuntuforums.org or (linuixquestions.org)) or simply googling on the command) also i higlly recommen thyat all new yusers of linux an its *nix next of kin sign up for a free account on linuxquestions.org ( where i may be found undrer athe alias Linux-Hawk)!! [03:06] (was that for my noob question?) [03:06] si je suis sous xubuntu, comment upgrader a 8.04 beta ? sur ubuntu on fesait "gksudo update-manager -c" ou quelque chose du genre... ? [03:06] hello [03:06] !fr | inazad [03:06] inazad: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [03:07] Why my ubunt doesn't load after I reboot? [03:07] Starnestommy: i dont mind that hes on, i just want to let him know [03:07] I need o press control alt + delete then it loads [03:07] sry [03:07] does anyone here use slab? [03:08] !anyone [03:08] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:08] help, i'm lost... what's the option to extract to a different directory? x? [03:08] gpm: bah [03:08] cyclonut: what version of ubuntu [03:09] DOOM_NX: if you install unrar you can just open the archive in file-roller (AKA "Archive Manager" [03:09] DOOM_NX: i don't have a rar file to try this with, but methinks that unrar e file.rar /home/DOOM_NX/Desktop is what you're looking for? [03:09] ) [03:09] bazhang: hardy, basically, I am looking for a menu that'll track my most frequently used apps [03:09] DOOM_NX: or if your using tar -C [03:10] Shiva88, thanks let me see [03:10] gpm i need console [03:10] and spine thanks i'll try that too [03:10] how to know if my pc is 32 or 64 bits? [03:10] DOOM_NX: man unrar, i think you want the "x" option [03:11] n-iCe: if you dont know, 32 [03:11] GrueTamer why [03:11] n-iCe: your processor or your OS? [03:11] Starnestommy I don't when I download a iso image there are for 32 or 64 bits [03:11] how do I know which one must I download [03:11] Shiva88: i think you need to use x, e is only for the current dir [03:11] n-iCe: what kind of processor do you have? [03:11] DOOM_NX: argh, gpm's right... it's "unrar x file.rar /home/DOOM_NX/Desktop [03:11] because 32 is majority, and iirc 32 works in a 64 bit system, might even be better [03:12] n-iCe: btw, if you don't know, the 32 bit version works fine on most 32-bit and 64-bit intel and amd computers [03:12] yes it works [03:12] thank u very very very very very much [03:12] DOOM_NX: oh e worked? [03:13] for a different dir? [03:13] no x filename dir [03:13] ok mine is intel [03:13] oh ok [03:13] cool [03:13] okay i just have a quick question about the panel [03:13] so it is 32 bits? [03:13] n-iCe: some newer intel ones are 64-bit, but I don't know which ones [03:13] is there a way to permanently disable the firewall in ubuntu? [03:13] n-iCe: how old is your machine [03:13] 2 years maybe [03:13] n-iCe: what OS are you in right now? xp? [03:14] go 32. [03:14] its constantly causing prblems with various things, but as soonas i reboot or log out it starts back up [03:14] yeah, a 2 yr old intel machine is probably 32 [03:14] MEtaLpREs: There's no need. There is no functioning firewall rules by default. [03:14] Shiva88 right now, vista but I don't wanna know about this computer I wanna know about the ubuntu pc [03:14] go 32. [03:14] ok so when i use the live cd for 7.10 i have sound but i just did a fresh install and now i dont have any sound what could be wrong? [03:14] well there must be some rules cause lots of stuff gets blocked by default, like torrents and my xbox media center [03:14] randomoutburst: check alsamixer [03:15] MEtaLpREs: are you behind a router? [03:15] how do I update my ubuntu to the lastest version? [03:15] Can anyone help me? I've enabled the 3d graphics, but my viedocard is not good enough and now my system is lagging badly. How can I make it smooth again? [03:15] what do you mean by that? [03:15] the new oss is nice [03:15] i am, but as soon as i turn off the firewall in ubuntu everything works fine, so its not the router [03:15] open up a terminal [03:15] alsamixer [03:15] Rule of thumb X86 family means the mechine is based uopon a process earlier than the P4s with hyper threadein support and X86_64 means the disk can be used to install a kernel which support i the full capabilities of both AMD 64 bit and the familiar Ia64 bit families of processors from intel or amd including the newer Itainium chips ( mainly soly for servers and high end engineering workstations. [03:15] and see if things are muted [03:15] !update [03:15] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:15] to unmute, type m [03:15] I've already gone back to no desktop graphics [03:16] mariobro: envy is not supported here [03:16] I mistakenly clicked remove from panel on the top panel where things like pidgin get docked, and now i dont know how to get it back [03:16] I'm not using envy [03:16] no everything is turned up [03:16] not now [03:16] does ubuntu use xorg or xfree86? [03:16] n-iCe: "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade" [03:16] mariobro: but you did [03:16] b4l74z4r: xorg [03:16] i did earlier, but then read another website on how they did it for ati [03:17] Mehal: right click on panel, select "add to panel", go to the botoom of the list, select "notification area", then click add [03:17] mariobro: the damage is done [03:17] :( [03:17] any other ideas? [03:17] okay, thanks so much [03:17] hmm how can i fix it? [03:17] randomoutburst: is alsa running [03:17] i would assume it is... [03:17] i could reload the system, but i'm not sure how [03:17] i was looking in the wrong section, i was looking in the desktop and windows section [03:18] yeah it is if i just opened it up in the terminal right? [03:18] is there a way to delete the information in a partition, then install into it? [03:18] so can the firewall actually be permanently disabled or removed all together? cause the answer "you dont need to" is kinda lame, whether i need to or not that doesnt really answer my question [03:18] mariobro: fdisk? [03:19] ? [03:19] is it possible to turn on system-wide vsync in xorg? [03:19] Smorg: what are you trying to do? [03:19] mariobro: make an identical new parttion [03:19] mariobro: envy is unsupported; you used it and thus are on your own [03:19] smorg, what do you mean [03:19] MEtaLpREs if you run sudo iptables -F clears any firewall rules that might be set up; sudo iptables -L lists any that are effective === lysdexia is now known as emma [03:20] how do i put vsync on? i can clearly see its off when my screensaver starts [03:20] How do I start sshd on the kubuntu livecd? I can't find how ubutnu's init works. [03:20] just need it to install grub on my gentoo box [03:20] I installed microsoft flight simulator 2004 using wine and the installation was good, now when I try to run it, it doesn't run what should I do? [03:21] MEtaLpREs: Due you have your machines behind a internet safe router/firewall? If so is the firewall on the aftermentioned infrastructure device correctly configured and enabled? [03:21] Smorg you would need to install openssh-server to get a server, and it runs automatically when it is installed [03:21] nickrud: aah the live cd doesn't come with it? hrm. [03:21] nickrud: iptables is showing no policies setup, and in firestarter it also shows no policies setup, but the firewall still starts up on boot and my xbox is blocked and as soon as i turn off the firewall my xbox becomes visable... [03:22] i'll just have to chroot first. thx :) [03:22] Smorg the live cd is set up as a desktop, any real server stuff needs to be added [03:22] is 'rm filename' reversible? [03:22] anyone know why sound will work with 7.10 live cd but not on a fresh install of 7.10 [03:22] Folks, I have a question. I have an Intel Quad Core processor (Q6600). Does it make sense to install Ubuntu 64 bit or would 32 bit do just fine ? what's the big advantage of 64 over 32 ? [03:22] DOOM_NX: no [03:23] MEtaLpREs sudo apt-get remove --purge firestarter should remove the firewall config scripts, along with firestarter [03:23] good, i should watch it [03:23] randomoutburst: probably different settings in xorg or something [03:23] DOOM_NX: yeah, it doesn't go to a trash bin or anything like that [03:23] MEtaLpREs iiirc , /etc/firstarter has the script that gets run [03:23] humm i tried fedora 8 and that didnt work either, the live cd anyway [03:23] Shiva88, it never goes [03:24] lol... [03:24] Pir8: how much ram? if you have more than 4gb then may be worth it [03:24] Pir8 the most important advantage is accessing more than about 3gb of memory [03:24] 2GB [03:24] unless i 'move to trash' [03:24] DOOM_NX: is it a file or a folder? [03:24] how do i put vsync on? i can clearly see its off when my screensaver starts [03:24] rm -rv is for folders? [03:24] Всем привет! [03:24] no -rv [03:24] wait [03:25] DOOM_NX rm -r will remove directories and their contents, recursively [03:25] !ru | Nertos [03:25] yes [03:25] Nertos: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [03:25] erm, #ubuntu-ru ? [03:25] I presently use this machine as my workstation, and I don't even do anything that significantly uses the horsepower. [03:25] i've used that before [03:25] rm -r /usr [03:25] DOOM_NX lol, don't do that :) [03:25] sudo [03:25] lol [03:25] i have another small question... [03:25] it was an experimental virtual machine, don't panic [03:25] yeah, don't even print that in case someone else thinks it looks like a good idea [03:25] now i know :P [03:26] Pir8 I'd suggest sticking with 32bit, you get access to some stuff (flash, java browser plugin, some 3d party stuff) without going thru gyrations [03:26] Pir8: and he means it when he says gyrations, i still don't have java working in ffx [03:26] DOOM_NX ah, experimental. Experiment away, that's what they're for ;) [03:26] i have to isntall the 32-bit version if i want it [03:27] flash was simple though [03:27] cool [03:27] nickrud, virtual machines rock... u can do anything u like [03:27] thanks guys :) [03:27] i just installed linux earlier today so i'm still pretty new. For the virtual dektops, i used ot be able to just drag the window over to the other workspace but now i have to right click and click on move to workspace right. i was wondering if theres any way to get it back to the way it was before [03:27] Pir8: I find my self in a suimilar situation with my AMD Athlon X2 Duel core Hp Pavillion a6230n , But i hate not have the full 64bit memory addressimg tha a 64bir kernel affords you!\ === idetify is now known as Alisdair [03:28] how would I ask a local ip what its mac address is? [03:28] Mehal you switched over to compiz? I find that I can't move stuff around the workspace switcher in compiz, but I can in metacity. I use expose plugin in compiz for seeing all desktops and moving stuff between them [03:29] psmith: yea thats why i went with 64-bit here, 8gb of system memory [03:29] psmith, I hear you. [03:30] cpk1: google arp command line [03:30] im having a problem with game performance under ubuntu [03:31] is it the driver or dual core problem [03:31] hello [03:31] Pir8: . dotech : IMHO with in the next couple of years wie will se a full discontinuaion of research and developement dollars besing spent on the 32bit processors by Amd, Intel , Ctrix and others. [03:31] how can I se if my two processors are working? [03:31] I have a turion 64 X2 [03:31] bring up the hardware monitor [03:32] or sytem monitor [03:32] this is so strange, i read on various boards that people have issues with playing video in their browsers cause vsync is off so theres horizontal tearing in them, and absolutely no one seem to know anything about resolving this [03:32] thats what i ment [03:32] psmith: yep, no need within the next 30 years for more than 64-bit [03:32] lol [03:33] psmith: at that point it will be a different architecture most likely, quantum, etc === cE_pInK is now known as cRista_manja [03:33] i have a strange problem with urban terror i can get 90 fps and then in some areas like 11 [03:33] N3WFI3, ok its listed, but how can I make sure its being used? [03:33] look at the percentages [03:33] for both cpus [03:33] anyone know how to create a boot floppy that will allow booting to a cdrom? motherboard doesn't have "boot to cdrom" feature.. "Smart Boot Manager" doesn't work. [03:33] the usage [03:33] fevel cat /etc/cpuinfo [03:33] www.plasa.irc.net [03:34] Help! I need help getting me partitions back to normal ! [03:34] nickrud, it didnt find the directory [03:34] fevel doh. cat /proc/cpuinfo [03:34] fevel: Which install disk did you use the x86 or the X86_64 disc, because if you didn't use the 64bit instalation disk you won't have the rpoper kernel thus restricting you to one core on each microchip!! [03:35] alow [03:35] www.irc.plasa.net [03:35] psmith, I used 64 bit version [03:35] Can anyone one here help me restore my partitions back to windows? [03:35] really? I have the 32 bit and can use both cores psmith [03:35] 32bit and 64bit are both smp [03:36] it it irrelevant to architecture [03:36] whats our topic for psmith baz? [03:36] Alisdair: you want to uninstall ubuntu and use windows only? [03:36] ok [03:36] fevel: Tghwen you should have no issue using all the avliable processors and in turn all of there intrensic cores. [03:36] okay, i see that in my appearance prefs, in visual effects, i cant select anything other than none. when i click on normal or extra, i get the error message "Desktop effects could not be enabled" [03:36] system monitor shows activity on both processors [03:36] yeah [03:37] Mehal what video chip do you have, lspci | grep -i vga will tell you exactly [03:37] it doesnt seem to be any issues, I just wnted to know howto make sure [03:37] alan_m: discussing which iso to use is ontopic thanks [03:37] would it be possable to install ubuntu remotly, i have a cpu that i would like to use however the video does not output [03:37] Hello, I can't get my compiz to reproduce 4 desktops in the cube configuration I set it up upto 4 desktops but is not working. [03:37] yes [03:37] baz, i wasnt referring to that, i was seeing what you were talking about so i could possibly jump in, thanks to you as well :D [03:37] someone goto know how to fix gfx slowdowns :( [03:38] juannicolas: you need to go into ccsm and set general virt horiz desktops to 4 [03:38] juannicolas install compizconfig-settings-manager (advanced desktop settings in prefs when installed) and enable desktop cube. [03:38] I deleted the partitions, but can't get them to merge back to a single partition [03:38] alan_m: okay sorry about that my bad [03:38] Mehal: You might have an improperly recognized Graphics Processing Unit GPU aka video card. [03:38] oh, is the virtual not in the Number of Desktops? [03:38] Alisdair: if you deleted them then you need to recreate one large one.. if you didn't delete them then you'll see the same number of partitions [03:39] nice [03:39] juannicolas: right, that is the advanced desktop settings manager not the ubuntu desktops on the panel [03:39] thx a lot [03:40] nickrud 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [03:40] i had ubuntu installed but deleted the 2 partitions it created, and i cant set the unallocated partitions to join back together as one disk space [03:40] Alisdair: is your final goal to use only windows? [03:40] yes [03:40] i have a drive image i need to load through norton ghost [03:40] Mehal hm, I'm got good with intel chips, so I'll have to refer you to #compiz-fusion, they can set you up [03:40] Alisdair: they have a channel you know? [03:40] Hey guys, how would one check his version of Ubuntu? [03:41] get him out of this channel please! [03:41] Sanctusorium: lsb_release -a [03:41] Alisdair: delete all the partitions.. until the drive has no partitions.. then ghost back the image you want. [03:41] I know this if off-topic, but are bit torrents safe? [03:42] zero88: of linux isos yes [03:42] .. . Okie... Apparently I still have Feisty. How could I update to Gutsy? Do I ahve to reinstall?

In general are they safe? [03:43] nickrud: nah, just type fast ;) [03:43] zero88 that you have paid for? [03:43] zero88: Thats like asking if "files" are safe. :-) Totally depends what is in the torrent (or the file). If its pirated, then the risk goes up significantly... [03:43] bazhang no. [03:43] zero88: if you're worried about virus's don't.. [03:43] !piracy | zero88 unsafe and illegal [03:43] zero88 unsafe and illegal: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [03:43] then this is not the channel for that zero88 [03:43] zero88 but a pdf? I would say that's ok [03:44] ok thanks. I know they are bad for windows...but wasnt sure about ubuntu. [03:44] I mean what could you download for linux other then a script? [03:44] i had a 30 gig partition with windows, then i deleted that, loaded ubuntu which split the 30 into two partitions of 28 and 2 [03:44] zero88 like Xark says, it's what's in the torrent that matters. If it's legal, and from a trusted source ... [03:44] zero88: Linux does not have a virus problem.

[04:03] bazhang ipconfig command not found [04:03] ubuntu_newbie, that wireless card should work without a problem in 6.10 [04:03] lnxnwbe: i don't know of any way to defrag your windows partition from within linux [04:03] ubuntu_newbie: iFconfig not iPconfig [04:03] ubuntu_newbie: iFconfig--ifconfig not ipconfig [04:04] lnxnwbe: it may be possible, but i've never heard of a method [04:04] hello all [04:04] oh [04:04] ifconfig shows two [04:04] ok ty [04:04] eth1 and lo [04:04] lo and eth0 probably [04:05] Is anyone Using MLB.tv this year? === amidanie1 is now known as amidaniel [04:05] ubuntu_newbie: have you considered upgrading to a more recent version--that one may not be supported much longer [04:05] shiva88: it wouldn't have an excuse to not get the system files in windows [04:06] ubuntu_newbie, paste the output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org [04:06] bazhang i ordered the dvds a while ago, thought to try it today === clerate is now known as celerate [04:06] I have an ndiswrapper question: I installed my PCI wifi card using ndiswrapper; will upgrading to Hardy Heron break my setup? [04:06] to install fluxbox shouldn't i just have to "sudo apt-get install fluxbox"? [04:06] RoAkSoAx that could be a problem, am on a different laptop, ubuntu is not connected to internet [04:06] someone should make a small gui in the process monitor to set affinity like in windows xp [04:06] Zelta: yup [04:06] !ot | Zelta [04:06] some programs have problems running 2 cores [04:06] svensko: yes [04:06] shiva88: is there a list somewhere of dell printers suported? [04:07] thanks [04:07] preemptive !ot Zelta very nice ;] [04:07] !print [04:07] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [04:07] i googled but can't find [04:07] bazhang if you could tell me how can i search for the wireless networks in my area, am sorry i am kinda used to the windows system [04:07] thanks bazhang [04:07] ubuntu_newbie, oh well... uhmmm the thing is that ipw2200 works in 6.10, i have used it before without a problem... [04:07] Zelta: is that broadcom? [04:07] ubuntu_newbie, next to the clock area, is there any icon like a window or a monitor? [04:07] no [04:08] I like this version of Ubuntu, Kudos to those responsible for it [04:08] but if I install it again in Hardy it should work right? [04:08] idleone:ty looking [04:08] RoAkSoAx yes, it says Network Connection: lo [04:08] lnxnwbe: np [04:08] !netsplit [04:08] RoAkSoAx yes, it says Network Connection: lo [04:08] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === kucerar_ is now known as kucerar [04:08] "enjoy the show"? hehe [04:08] lol [04:09] ubuntu_newbie, uhm wierd, should recognize eth1 as wireless inerface... [04:09] Shiva88: when they return it is sometimes fun. back in the old days channels would get taken over because of a split :) [04:09] ok for some reason ubuntu is fucking around all of a sudden it repetitively dims windows that i am using and then just lags out and then speeds up again then randomly slows down again and i had to disable even the middle graphics and now it is working [04:09] :S [04:09] ubuntu_newbie: try issuing "iwconfig" [04:09] why does 8.04 not do it yet 7.10 does [04:09] !language | f0rmat [04:09] f0rmat: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:10] !ohmy | f0rmat [04:10] really? i guess i missed out on that. i've seen many netsplits, just never considered them to be much of a "show" :) [04:10] RoAkSoAx iwconfig is showing "4" lo (no wirless) eth0 (no wireless) eth1 (unassociated ESSIF:"Atif" and some other things) and sit0 (no wireless) [04:10] erm bazhang :S [04:10] f0rmat: no swearing in here thanks === amidanie1 is now known as amidaniel [04:11] oh [04:11] i neeed to set cpu affinity! [04:11] how [04:11] ! [04:11] ubuntu_newbie, ok, so eth1 is the wireless card you should be using, so try connecting with Network manager, which is next to the clock on your right top corner [04:11] sorry [04:11] :( [04:11] i didn't realize i had it's just ubuntu is doing weird and wonderful things with my servers [04:11] f0rmat: think of this like the Disney channel. if they wont say it. then you dont say it [04:12] ok [04:12] f0rmat: aren't wonderful things good? :) [04:12] erm well yes [04:12] but isn't ubuntu wonderful [04:12] RoAkSoAx that little monitor? [04:12] f0rmat: also hardy discussion is in #ubuntu+1 [04:12] nope i am using 7.10 [04:12] i click on it and it shows me Connection Properties of lo [04:12] f0rmat: recent update perhaps ? [04:13] yep [04:13] tried updating [04:13] ubuntu_newbie, yes, click on it and if there are wireless networks, it will show them right? [04:14] RoAkSoAx it is not, it opens a window "Connection Properties: lo" [04:15] ubuntu_newbie: are there any wifi hotspots there? [04:15] ubuntu_newbie, ok les try to do something else, go to a terminal an do: nm-applet [04:15] how do i make C++ .exe's for windows? [04:15] from ubuntu [04:15] bazhang yeah plenty! am sure, coz my windows laptop is showing them [04:15] haker: you must be kidding [04:16] bazhang: T_T i dindt ask for a remark i asked for help :) [04:16] RoAkSoAx wait, if i go to Network Settings, it is showing me three Connections. 1. Wireless Connection (not configured) 2. Wired connection (Adrress: DHCP) 3. Modem (not configured) [04:16] heh [04:16] haker: you want to use mono? [04:16] do I have to make some changes there first? [04:16] g++ -o rawr.cpp RAWR.exe dont work :( [04:16] bazhang: mono ? [04:16] idleone: i have an all in one , photo 944 printer-scanner i can't find if its supported . Do you know anything about this? [04:17] because it is fresh installed copy of ubuntu and I haven't touched anything yet [04:17] ubuntu_newbie, that wont work... you have to use network manager, but i dont remember if it comes by default with 6.10 [04:17] hi all! how will I add fonts to firefox? [04:17] haker: You have it backward [04:17] lnxnwbe: you didn't mention the brand of the printer [04:17] O.o [04:17] haker: g++ -o RAWR.exe rawr.cpp is what you want I assume [04:17] scunizi: sorry its a dell photo 944 [04:17] lnxnwbe: my linux printer experience is limited, but have you just tried it? i plugged in my HP all-in-one this morning and it work automagically in gutsy [04:18] are there any programs that can optimize memory etc? [04:18] RoAkSoAx nm-applet command not found [04:18] ubuntu_newbie, ok so do this: sudo apt-get install network-manager [04:18] hi all:what's the biggest problem when installing ubuntu in laptop? [04:18] ubuntu_newbie, ok so do this: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome === boyam_ is now known as boyam [04:18] it detects it i think but when i goto print someting it gives status bar and all but no print [04:18] karex broadcom [04:19] http://pastebin.com/mf3f7819 [04:19] f0rmat: What do you mean by optimize memory? You mean to optimize a single program or an entire os? [04:19] bazhang: broadcom? what is it? [04:19] RoAkSoAx D: could not find package network-manager-gnome [04:19] shall I insert CD first? [04:19] ubuntu_newbie, ok so do this: sudo apt-get install network-manager then [04:19] karex wireless [04:20] haker: What g++ Shell.exe -o swell.cpp means is, my source is in the file Shell.exe compile it into an executable named swell.cpp [04:20] bazhang: only that? [04:20] I am noticing two versions of Azureus in the Ubuntu repo's, one claims to be "native code" I am assuming that means someone complied it from source on Ubuntu and that the package in the repo's is a Deb package ? [04:20] ubuntu_newbie, have you changed yout sources archive and removed the cd entry? [04:20] RoAkSoAx same error [04:20] * sCOTTo farts [04:20] karex you asked for biggest not all; what are your issues we can then address them [04:20] RoAkSoAx no, nothing [04:20] I was having same problem as f0rmat,,, i just fresh installed on a new hard drive and slaved the old for the files, but thats not a fix [04:20] ubuntu_newbie, ok, so firsst we have to change your sources of apt [04:21] RoAkSoAx alright, how? [04:21] bazhang: i've bought Compaq. I want to install ubuntu on it [04:21] lnxnwbe: that printer won't work.. it offloads a lot of the processing to the windows environment which makes it cheaper and much less compatible with linux [04:21] ubuntu_newbie, can you connect your laptop to a wired netowrk or something? [04:21] amidaniel, the entire os [04:21] scunizi :ok ty [04:21] RoAkSoAx yes! but that would not connect to internet [04:22] lnxnwbe: i think Scunizi's right... there are a few threads in the forums about that same printer, doesn't sound like anyone is having much luck with it [04:22] karex: what stage are you in? Have you attempted to install it yet? [04:22] RoAkSoAx only this laptop is connected to internet, which is through mobile broadband connection, i need to get to my local area network for some file transfers and play around! [04:23] ubuntu_newbie, try puytting the cd on your laptop and try install what i've told you [04:24] f0rmat: That's not really possible to do unless you recompile all the programs on your system to be more memory efficient [04:24] RoAkSoAx I tried that as well, CD is inserted [04:24] RoAkSoAx can I install from the CD, human interface rather than command line? [04:24] thundr3: not yet [04:24] well the system is absorbing resources when i have the graphics up to medium [04:24] RoAkSoAx, is Network Manager same as System > Administration > Networking ? [04:25] because I can see it there [04:25] ubuntu_newbie, ok, put your cd on and search for a network-manager package, but i believe it is not there. And it is not the same to your second question [04:25] hi, I can't mount my hdb hard disk, it was previously hdb, but since an update I only have sd??, I tried to mount sdb1 but tells me that it is not a block device (I'm using hardy heron, I tried #ubuntu+1 but no one could help me) [04:26] Please help me- both the Ubuntu 7.10 and the 8.04 LiveCDs wont work. They find no errors on the CD check, and I have installed both recently, but now when I try to install, X just keeps restarting. [04:26] AMD 3500+, 1gb ram, Radeon X1600, etc. should not have any issues [04:26] NiceStrei: have you tried the alternate disk? [04:26] should i use "nvidia-settings -load-config-only" or "nvidia-settings -l" in my sessions startup programs to make the configuration stick? [04:27] NiceStrei: using the same cd to burn the iso? [04:27] Shiva88: no I have not. I'll give it a try, but i figure if the discs didn't work, the OS wouldn't either [04:27] karex: have you downloaded the live cd yet? [04:27] ad this problem with a new install on a friend's computer, had to go into system>administration>synaptics package manager and fix alot of things there, but i dont know if thats what you need or not [04:27] I just installed bittornado and I'm trying to have it open a file but can't find where it is located, can someone tell me or tell me how to find out? [04:27] IdleOne: no, i was, but i just tried a brand new CDR (burned at 4x) and it does the same thing [04:27] bazhang:i've had the live cd [04:28] RoAkSoAx no file found [04:28] What's up all [04:28] NiceStrei: download the Alertanate install iso and try that [04:28] NiceStrei: if you're just trying to install, and aren't worried about the livecd environment, then try the alternate [04:28] arrow: any reason to use that and not transmission or better? [04:28] RoAkSoAx i guess the package is not in the CD [04:28] ubuntu_newbie, i will recommend you to try to connect your laptop to a wired network and install the package i've told you [04:28] alright, thanks IdleOne and Shiva88 . I'll give those a shot. [04:28] How do i Mount a .bin? [04:28] bazhang, the site i use only allows a small amount of clients [04:28] So....what happens when this version is out of Beta....will it upgrade to full automatically...or do we have to start over? [04:28] karex: does the livecd see your wireless card and give you okay graphics etc? [04:28] RoAkSoAx ok i will try that [04:29] RoAkSoAx please stay with me! [04:29] binarylust: you will be givin the option to upgrade [04:29] which command can i use to trace an ip? [04:29] Sweet, thank you IdleOne [04:29] bazhang:i'm sorry, i've just plan it. But i'm affraid to try [04:30] While I'm at it.. does anyone know how to make the iTunes (on wine or parallels) network shared library work? It seems like the ports aren't open, but even if i get a firewall and open the ports (double checked, they are open), my library will show up on my other computer, but not load. [04:30] linkinxp: trace an ip? what do you mean? [04:30] How do I find out where programs are located after I install them? [04:30] bazhang:is it dangerous? [04:30] How do i Mount a .bin? [04:30] Anyone know of any good asterisk frontends for GTK+? [04:30] ubuntu_newbie, ok i'll try xD [04:30] IdleOne, yea i have an IP i want to know info ( should i just use whois) lmao [04:30] karex okay; well nothing to fear as it is a livecd; boot into it (set bios to look for cd drive first) look around, then see what you like or not; then simply restart pull out the cd and you are back in windows files untouched [04:31] linkinxp: yeah or /dns ip [04:31] RoAkSoAx I connected the network cable and tried the command again, same error [04:31] IdleOne, thanks [04:31] tl;dr: iTunes shared library doesn't work. Why? [04:31] After inserting one particular DVD into my Thinkpad R52 running Gutsy nothing happens. No messages in dmesg, nothing in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog. However if I insert a CD or any other DVD, it works as expected. The DVD is a -R, but both +R and -R discs work normally. Could not find help with Google. Suggestions? [04:32] IdleOne, what about resolve Mac addresses? === nixternal_ is now known as nixternal [04:32] linkinxp-> man arp [04:32] ubuntu_newbie, do a cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste the output on a file and pass your file to your laptop and then show it to me on paste.ubuntu-nl.org [04:32] join #osi [04:32] pastebinit is nice for that [04:32] bazhang:so if it's OK in live-mode, i can install it? [04:33] ubuntu_newbie, but first of all, you connect through a router?? === TheFrugalGeek is now known as MattRyan [04:33] !info opera [04:33] Package opera does not exist in gutsy [04:33] amenado, got it thankius! [04:33] karex you have ethernet connection for that? [04:33] RoAkSoAx alright, i will do that [04:33] bazhang:no [04:33] bazhang:how to backup the original OS? [04:33] question. when i sign my emails with gpg the signature always appends to the top. How do i make it go to the bottom? Im using thunderbird [04:34] RoAkSoAx, yes it is a router! [04:34] hey guys. I have an ubuntu installation question [04:34] ubuntu_newbie, after you connected it through cable, does it have an ipaddress, try with ifconfig and check [04:34] karex one step at a time; you want to do some commands while in the live cd to see how well it fits that laptop--any way to chat here while you run the livecd on that computer? [04:34] 7.10 using live CD. I select the option to start/install and it loads, then sends me to a command prompt. [04:34] No gui.. just a prompt. [04:35] i386 desktop [04:35] Any idea why this happens? [04:35] I am noticing two versions of Azureus in the Ubuntu repo's, one claims to be "native code" I am assuming that means someone complied it from source on Ubuntu and that the package in the repo's is a Deb package ? [04:35] MattRyan: verify the CD? did you burn it at more than 4x? [04:35] other package* [04:35] bazhang:no,i'm not at home [04:35] RoAkSoAx on lo inetaddr:127.0.0.1 [04:35] ubuntu_newbie, under eth0? [04:35] burned it at 40x [04:35] that might be the reason [04:35] or other besides 127.0.0.1 [04:36] karex: well to make sure this is a good fit best to do it that way; when you get home will you have that option? [04:36] verify the burn? [04:36] I didn't, will do so now. [04:36] no ip address under eth0 but theres a mask:255.0.0.0 under lo [04:36] 40x could be the problem [04:36] question. when i sign my emails with gpg the signature always appends to the top. How do i make it go to the bottom? Im using thunderbird [04:36] Is 8.04 beta worth switching to yet? [04:36] yea [04:36] MattRyan: burn it s l o w.. the slowest you can.. [04:36] MattRyan: You can choose verify from the boot menu. [04:36] Hi [04:36] if it works then yes [04:36] ubuntu_newbie, try doing sudo ifup eth0 [04:36] best wait MattRyan [04:36] MattRyan: not yet [04:37] charles you should ask in #thunderbird [04:37] RoAkSoAx Interface eth0 already configured [04:37] 8.04 just whitescreens me, i have to ctrl+F1 and metacity --replace [04:37] ubuntu_newbie, sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 [04:37] Any wifi wizzes in here?

[04:39] RoAkSoAx done! No DHCPOFFERS received. [04:39] No working leases in persistent databse - sleeping. [04:39] charles|64: check out on the thunderbird page maybe you need a diff irc server [04:39] i'm not hearing any sound. i wonder if the sound daemon crashed [04:39] Snake: do you have any security on you AP?

Could not find help with Google. Suggestions? [04:41] any one?

[04:42] thanks guys. i really wanna learn linux [04:42] ubuntu_newbie, ok try doing a sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 [04:42] Scooma: There is no reference of the hardware even detecting the disc. dmesg reports nothing. [04:42] karex-> you dont need to backup the OS, there is the livecd you can use as base [04:42] Scooma: The disc spins for a bit, then stops. [04:42] doing [04:42] karex: did you get my last message? could you give me an answer to that please [04:43] owh: yeah that's the firmware spinning it. is there an app that can query the cdrom device directly? i don't know of one personally [04:43] #perl [04:43] RoAkSoAx: I am fairly new too, and a co-worker just had the same prob, had to go into system>administration>synaptics package manager and fix alot of things there, but i dont know if thats what you need or not [04:43] meanwhile, one more question, i have connected my ipod, i cant see it no where [04:43] Scooma: k3b doesn't detect it.

[04:44] !clone | karex [04:44] karex: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [04:44] owh: ie. just this disc? === |Cain_| is now known as Cain_ [04:45] Snake: have you set a static on it? and make sure you're connecting to the right AP [04:45] Scooma: in Manual Config it has Wireless connection listed, when I uncheck "Enable Roming Mode" it wants a password type [04:45] !hardy [04:45] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [04:45] Scooma: It's just this disc, but it plays fine in a DVD player.

[04:46] JohnMM: please /msg ubotu for fun if you wish [04:46] Scooma: No. It's got a home-movie on it, burnt on OS X. [04:46] k sorry bazhang [04:47] ubuntu_newbie, ok well that is weird, can you configure your network manually, on System>Administration>Netowrk for your wired netowkr? [04:47] RoAkSoAx oops, thats the only usb drive i have right now! i was thinking to paste everything to show you what was happening.. i dont think i can paste you the logs now :( [04:47] Any touch pad experts, i cant figure out which portion of the xorg.conf my mouse is using, it sometimes works fine others not at all, the the twofingerscroll option will not work period [04:47] owh: dumb question but did you finalize it? [04:47] Scooma: It was sent to me, dunno. [04:47] Snake: do you have another machine that connects fine? [04:47] Scooma: Even if it wasn't finalised, the OS would see it and give up on it no? [04:48] owh: run a burner software and see if it can finalize the disc [04:48] Scooma: the PC im on now, the PS3, and it works under windows dandy [04:48] Scooma: Well, k3b doesn't even see it. [04:48] RoAkSoAx yes it have the properties option on my wired connection [04:48] could you assist me with what to put there! [04:48] owh: really depends; I have dvd's burned in linux that other linux boxes choke on same OS burned and all [04:48] Snake: when you look at it via network manager list, do you see a lock icon next to it? [04:49] ubuntu_newbie, ok, which is the IP of the machine you are in now? [04:49] Configuration was set to DHCP but I can choose a static ip as well [04:49] owh: you've got me [04:49] bazhang: Fabulous. Hmm, now I need to figure out how to get this movie off this disc. [04:49] Scooma: That's where I was at when I came here, thanks for trying. [04:49] Scooma: no, it has a check mark and a wifi symbol [04:49] ubuntu_newbie, choose static, and which brand is your router? [04:49] In Remote Desktop Preferences, if I have it so that "Allow other users to view your desktop" is checked, but "Allow other users to control your desktop" isn't checked, will it be so that they can just watch what I do, or so they can access things on this computer, but I'd still have control too? [04:49] owh: i'm sure there's a solution - don't give up. see if you can google for someone else with the same keywords as your problem [04:50] RoAkSoAx this is not connected to the router! it is connected directly to internet through wireless mobile connection, but i can get the ip address of the router from the other machine [04:50] RoAkSoAx it's netgear [04:50] brian_: It means that they can see your desktop, but not move your mouse. [04:50] owh: So they'd just be watching everything, they couldn't DO anything? [04:50] Scooma: The thing that has me stumped is that the OS doesn't even get told there is a disc there. [04:50] brian_: Yup. [04:50] hello, i'm running ubuntu 7.10 server and i'm having some trouble with IET, iscsi enterprise target, have i come to right place? [04:50] Scooma: I got it, the DNS Servers wernt set up [04:50] ubuntu_newbie, the thing is you have to connect that laptop to your router and configure the IP address, netmask and gateway for that of the routers manages [04:51] owh: Ok, thanks, just checkin [04:51] netrat: Head over to #ubuntu-server [04:51] owh: thanks [04:51] netrat could be; if the folks know your problem or #ubuntu-server [04:51] owh: heres what i'm thinking: that the driver that's loaded doesn't adhere to one of the standards (red/orange book) that the disc was burnt to. but of course the dvd player does. [04:51] RoAkSoAx my ubuntu is connected to the router through wire, but *this* one is not [04:51] Scooma: thanks though :) [04:51] Snake: no worries, you fixed it yourself :) [04:51] bazhang: The author of iscsi lives in #u-s :) [04:52] <[SuB]SparkyFlary> lol [04:52] ubuntu_newbie, ok, but you have to use the subnet that yout router is managing... just configure the values for wired network under static mode... and enable the wired connection [04:52] fgfdgfd [04:52] I got ubuntu installed on my laptop and it gets to the splash screen and loads most of the way then it freezes. Is this a common problem? [04:52] ffffffffffffffffff === eric is now known as talntidf === talntidf is now known as talntid [04:52] bachdung87: english please [04:52] Scooma: But that stage of detection happens after the OS is told, that means I should see it in dmesg even before the driver tries to play with it. [04:53] i can't [04:53] RoAkSoAx alright, i will get the values of the router from other machine! please stay with me [04:53] bye [04:53] what language bachdung87 [04:53] sometimes I seem to lost my keyboard [04:53] Does anyone know how to configure what gnome-open does when it encounters a certain file extension?

[04:54] I can't type into some certain program [04:55] like firefox [04:55] Scooma: There is no point. I've been running tail -f /var/log/* and *nothing* happens when I insert the disc. [04:55] oh bazhang i am talking about usenet [04:56] owh: and you don't have any problems with any other dvds... it must be the disc [04:56] Scooma: Yeah.

[05:00] hi, how can i remove the default ubuntu icon from gnome panel ? please? [05:00] I know this is a noobish question to ask, but what command do you use to delete something while in the terminal? [05:00] bob42: You can "disown" it. [05:00] RoAkSoAx as i told, the copy of ubuntu was fresh as virgin the moment i started talking to you... nothing was altered! [05:00] Noah0504: have you done much to try to work around or just hoping mlb.com will switch back? [05:00] is ubuntu painless for 64 bit architecture? is there anything i should know before purchasing a 64 bit chip and trying to install ubuntu? [05:00] hmm [05:00] ubuntu_newbie, if can't bring up eth0, is problem of network confguration on laptop [05:00] ubuntu_newbie, dont you have a newer release? [05:00] bob42: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.shell/2006-03/msg00106.html [05:01] hmm [05:01] owh: thanks sounds good I'm looking into it thx [05:01] bruenig: you ok?

And I looked into installing Moonlight, but I don't feel like working with it either. Still seems like it's under pretty heavy development. [05:01] bruenig: That's pretty powerful software then :) [05:02] dookdook: everything via/in the package manager works too [05:02] scooma, so that just means a little slow-down when running 32 bit programs under emulation? [05:02] ubuntu_newbie, np :), but try using a newer ubuntu release and i dont think you will have any problems [05:02] how can i make backup of documents ? [05:02] bruenig: IIRC irssi has a really good FAQ on it's site [05:02] psmith: Well im gonna still mess with it. I have a class I need to have a linux OS running to tinker with at home. Not really big deal just something I kinda wanted :D [05:02] dookdook: nothing you'd notice [05:02] !backup | suxxor [05:02] suxxor: There are many ways to back your system up.

[05:03] When i cat /dev/input/mouse0 2 or 3 i get nothing, but /proc/bus/inputs/devices shows mouse3 as m aplps touch pad, and it is infact working under X, however the twofingerscroll option i set in the xorg.conf is not [05:03] scooma, thanks [05:03] dookdook: but if you have some fave apps, make sure they're available as 64bit [05:03] So, does anyone know if connecting to iTunes 7 DAAP is still a no go?

Then boot from a LiveCD and play with that, then start installing linux next to windows, then get rid of windows altogether.

[05:12] I can't see how the OS causes your HD to click, mabye its accessing a part of the hard drive thats may be bad? [05:12] suzume-- do a backup.. clicking is never good. [05:12] waldo: How did you delete them? [05:12] suzume: that clicking is ubuntu fixing all the .... windows caused [05:12] owh: means windows has different file system and linux other; then how it installs and [05:12] owh I was trying to rebuild them and now they seem to be missing [05:12] eh calrification question , How can I fix my resolution [05:12] at least modprobe gives me missing file errors [05:12] waldo: aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic <-- or whatever you kernel name is [05:12] netrat thanks [05:13] netrat let me try that [05:13] waldo: how do you know you deleted all your kernel modules? [05:13] is it normal then??? [05:13] is it normal then??? [05:13] suzume: no it is not. do a backup [05:13] which irc client you are using [05:13] ?

If you want to run Windows and Ubuntu side-by-side as a dual-boot, then you can resize the partitions. If you want to format your drive and just install Ubuntu, then the installer will take care of the filesystem. [05:14] waldo: check the /lib/modules directory to see if they're really gone [05:14] simplynam: As I said, backup your data first. [05:14] someone say my nick [05:14] netrat okay well reinstalling the image 1st... [05:14] simplynam: most use either Xchat ( gui ) or irssi ( text ) [05:14] i restarted in recovery mode is there anything i can do to analyze the problem or boot the OS?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:15] FastZ all modules period... lsmod won't show you because they're loaded in memory.

[05:19] suzume: nope fresh install [05:19] suzume that was waldo [05:19] howbeit: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:19] Jester009: If you press Alt-F1 before it freezes you can see what it's doing. [05:19] that would be me [05:19] and I'm now checking to make sure they're back [05:19] howbeit: then you can use that program to modify your compiz settings and enable or disable certain things that compiz can do, like the desktop cube [05:19] waldo: do you have any ubuntu discs? [05:20] Jester009: I had to remove quiet and splash from the kernel line in the bootloader, and put in vga=771 to get mine to work [05:20] I'm doing this all via ssh [05:20] on someone else's machine [05:20] waldo: oh :) [05:20] i just reinstalled the kernel so now checking if I can modprobe the modules [05:20] So I use compiz with ubuntu, and I like the EXPO plugin a lot.

How can I make a keyboard shortcut for a "right-click" ?

[05:22] I need to buy about 500 ft of CAT 6 cable and the connectors, can someone point me to a good, cheap source? [05:22] Well I suppose it's easier to chastise a guy for a couple spare chat lines than to help him with his questino. With all of the questions you get in here, who am I to blame? [05:22] Jester009: at the grub menu press "e" [05:22] waldo: i already done that [05:22] suzume check out smartmontools [05:22] can anyone help me concerning admin rights in ubuntu? [05:22] suzume-- clicking sounds means badness... expect hardrive failure soon. Also run a S.M.A.R.T. check... (google) [05:22] netrat: i did that too. the results are just fine [05:22] seaphor: thanks ill try that [05:23] suzume could be that linux is on noisy part of disk, but I woudln't trust it [05:23] dumlaox just ask your question. plently of people to help :-) [05:23] hello [05:23] iTripped hi [05:23] I'm trying to get myself some admin rights on ubuntu. However, everytime I check the setings t do so and reboot the laptop, it fails to recognize it [05:23] waldo: i just don't know. even freebsd makes some clicking sounds when the hard drive is being accessed [05:24] well some noise is normal. CLICKING is bad. [05:24] hey netrat, you one of the regulars in here? [05:24] I need the rights to install some drivers but so far, no go [05:24] !paste [05:24] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:24] Seaphor: do i have to create a new command line? [05:24] dumlaox-> use sudo [05:24] iTripped no not really. i'm an avid ubuntu user though [05:24] waldo: what kind of noise are you referring too? [05:24] waldo: maybe the sound that im hearing isn't qualified as a "clicking" sound? [05:25] suzume a disk reading type noise is normal.. but a click-click-click is the sound of the drive failing [05:25] oh ok. then I'm probably here to ask you a question :) [05:25] well that's a good start [05:25] a failing disk sounds like a thumping [05:25] so I have an ipod.... [05:25] it's much louder than normal usage [05:25] Jester009: no, arrow down to the "kernel" line and remove quiet and splash from the end [05:25] sorry, I'm a linux n00b here. What's sudo? [05:25] it's more "metallic"... the normal drive usage is usually smoother... [05:25] waldo: oh i see. then its not a click but a noise :) [05:25] is there a utility on ubuntu that can extract files from an ipod? [05:25] !sudo [05:25] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:25] dumlaox -- sudo is basically saying that whatever comes after it is run as the root/powerful user [05:25] How can I add a button to one of my panels that, for instance, would have the same effect as pressing Control + V? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:26] Hi! I can't get my sound card to work in Gutsy, and I've tried the debugging sound fix and every other fix I could find. My soundcard isn't recognized but it shows up in lspci. Any other suggestions? [05:26] btw-- anyone familiar with the ipw2200 wireless driver and why it is suddenly sucking for me? [05:26] cpasley: what isyour soundcard [05:26] waldo: im not familiar with that. i use bcm43xx drivers :) [05:26] her'es the dmesg error I get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62386/ [05:26] Intel [05:26] waldo: how about trying to use a wrapper? [05:27] I'm so glad I run ubuntu at home. we got hit with a windows virus at work and I think I am going to have to wipe my machine there [05:27] cpasley: intel what [05:27] suzume - it was working a week ago.. it suddenly stopped after a recent sw update..b ut not my machine so I don't know what was updated [05:27] of course, I had my ipod synced up with the work computer to get calendar info [05:27] Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [05:27] which means I could lose all of the music I have on it so far [05:27] cpasley: hmm just a sec [05:27] iTripped maybe this will help i dunno http://www.linux.com/feature/58187 [05:27] hi [05:28] oh wow [05:28] ok so i was able to get into compizconfig settings manager [05:28] waldo: i don't know whats the problem with that. try aptitude upgrade? maybe that will fix it? [05:28] i enabled the desktop cube, but for some reaosn i'm only getting on plane [05:28] so I was wondering if anyone knew of a senuti-like tool for linux that would... oh thanks netrat, I'll look into that now [05:28] upgrade what? [05:28] how do i add more sides to the cube? [05:28] Hey guys is there a simple clock/calander program in the repos? [05:29] Jester009: try this website http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ [05:29] hmm [05:29] unless I missed something, that link is about installing linux on my ipod [05:29] waldo: did you see this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26623 [05:29] ok, one problem down, another to go [05:29] can someone please tell me why my cube effect only has two sides? [05:29] iTripped: you want to install linux on your ipod? [05:29] No one knows how to assign a keyboard combination to a custom panel button in ubuntu? [05:29] no netrat [05:30] so I have an Acer Aspire 5570z and I'm trying to get the wireless card to work [05:30] howbeit: under general options, select the Desktop Size tab and change horizontal virtual size to however many sides you want [05:30] I got a driver online & compiled it [05:30] I merely want to be able to sync to it so I can pull files off of it in ubuntu [05:30] thank you fatsz [05:30] fastz [05:30] ;-err [05:30] netrat reading [05:30] after a make install command, how do I actually install the thing? [05:30] howbeit: fatsz works [05:30] psmith: its on the list for mandrake and redhat. I delete quiet and splash from the kernel and now its hanging at Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd. ._. [05:30] iTripped: i'm sorry my mistake. haha try this http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-use-an-ipod-with-ubuntu [05:30] dumlaox: it should be installed, but it won't show up in the package managers [05:31] howbeit: you might wanna join the #compiz-fusion channel too and ask compiz-related questions there [05:31] so how do I know that I have the wireless card working? [05:31] tks [05:31] dumlaox-> you can connect..htats how [05:31] I'll see how far I get with that [05:31] netrat - this is a new error from a week or so ago... i dunno if this thread will help... it's configured right I think.. [05:31] dumlaox: iwconfig [05:32] cpasley: how is it not working [05:32] dumlaox-> your access to the internet is possible if its working. [05:32] I dont plan on using a printer with this laptop is there any way i can disable cupsd? [05:32] well that's interesting [05:32] Hello, do somebody know how to change the screen resolution in 8.04? [05:32] after typing iwconfig, it tells me I don't have wireless on lo and eth0 [05:32] There's a red circle over the volume icon and when I click it it says I don't have the right GStreamer plugins or my soundcard's not configured. When I do aplay -l it says no soundcard. [05:33] Jester009-> disable via /etc/init.d/cupsys stop [05:33] edugonch: #ubuntu+1 is for 8.04 support [05:33] in the terminal, I'm trying to cp stuff from one directory to another that are a couple of "generations" apart from their common directory. Is there a way I can copy them without having to start the address from /home? [05:33] iTripped: amarok works great with ipods [05:33] thanks [05:33] amenado: where do i type that? [05:33] I'm sure it does - it just doesn't seem to find mine [05:33] Jester009 you don't want cups starting on bootup right? [05:33] (I have an ipod touch) [05:33] netrat: yes [05:33] ok, hope this works. THanks for all the help, everyone [05:34] Jester009 go into /etc/rc2.d and do ls *cup* and tell me what you come back with [05:34] hi [05:34] Jester009-> have you ever done a tutorial on how to use linux? i believe its the right time now if you have not [05:34] hey, if I use apt-get from the terminal, will that mess up the add/remove applications thing? [05:34] does the command 'make distclean' ruin a system [05:34] amenado: no i have not i would be glad to [05:34] amenado you are giving wrong instructions anyways, you need the tutorial [05:34] iTripped: no, they use the sane backends [05:34] netrat wrong? come again? [05:34] cpasley: well I thought that most of those ich7 worked, hmm [05:35] Im brand new to Ubuntu, I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 [05:35] yeah, it's weird [05:35] I can't even get alsa mixer to come up [05:35] I cant connect to the internet with wired or wireless, can I get some help please? [05:35] amenado he doesn't want cups starting on bootup, you merely showed him how to stop the service [05:35] hello [05:35] in installed from source fglrx and used the command 'make distclean' reboot and all my network--gone, lan/wlan [05:35] cpasley: in lsmod is snd-hda-intel or something like that loaded? [05:36] next stupid question: what is the format of the sudo command? [05:36] iTripped: sudo command [05:36] !sudo [05:36] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:36] it shows up in the list [05:36] oh so just sudo apt-get blah blah? [05:36] iTripped: yah [05:36] iTripped exactly [05:36] netrat you expect him to know how to configure those? and yes i suggested turning it off via init.d [05:36] is there anyone who can help me? [05:36] guys question, is there anyone tried o connect ubuntu 7.10 desktop to windows 2003 domain controller, im newbie [05:36] cool, tks [05:36] netrat: do i need to get into recovery to enter that directory? [05:37] I'm pretty sure there used to be plugin in compiz/beryl that would do kind of like Mac OS does and show all unminimized windows on the screen so you can choose a window to switch to. You could activate it by moving your mouse to a specified corner. Does anybody know what that's called or if it still exists? [05:37] is there anyone can help me? [05:38] what is a good program to make diagrams? [05:38] i installed ati fglrx from source reboot system and my lan/wlan are no where to be found [05:38] malnilion: i remember that beryl plugin, but i dont remember the name of it and I havent seen it in compiz-fusion [05:38] philip_ you want to auth against a win 2k3 active directory server? [05:38] forsaken-> try dia [05:38] forsaken, the only one I've really tried is dia [05:38] UbuntuWantaB, I don't know much, have you tried the network troubleshooting page? https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/index.html [05:38] hi, anyone know of a way to start programs with lirc? I have lirc working just fine right now, and I want to press the power button while on regular desktop and have MythTV start [05:38] is this even possible or no? [05:39] FastZ, yeah, I can't remember what it was called and now I can't find it... [05:39] crf:let me look at it [05:39] malnilion: have you asked over at #compiz-fusion? [05:39] FastZ, that's my next stop :) [05:39] netrat: i think my pms are getting blocked [05:39] crf: yes i have looked at that [05:40] malnilion: someone over there might know where it's at or if it's even still available. I haven't seen it in any of the versions of compiz-fusion though [05:40] !register | Jester009 [05:40] Jester009: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[05:41] so im outa luck here on getting help on connecting to the internet huh [05:41] cpasley: its snd_hda_intel sry [05:42] netrat: where do i open a terminal? i can't boot. [05:42] ah okay [05:42] cpasley: oh and run modprobe with sudo [05:42] ok, did that [05:43] after the modprobe see if you have sound [05:43] Jester009 i didn't know you couldn't boot. all i read was something about you wanting to disable cups [05:43] UbuntuWantaB. No. [05:43] netrat: it freezes when it gets to "Starting Common Unix Printing: cupsd" [05:43] I can try to help you, even though I don't know much [05:43] travisat: nope, nothing [05:44] cpasley: ah well, I don't know whats wrong those were supposed to be working for a while with no problems, what is your mobo/laptor/or what [05:45] Jester009 i highly doubt cups is causing the system to freeze. you should run a memory test. any problems with this laptop in the past? [05:45] UbuntuWantaB, I would suggest posting in the forums. In the forums, make a post about what the output of the troubleshooting steps were. [05:45] FastZ, the answer to my query was the Scale plugin, btw ;) [05:45] What do you mean mobo/laptor? My laptop model? [05:45] cpasley: if a laptop yah [05:45] malnilion: ah, is that in compiz-fusion? [05:45] malnilion: or was that just a beryl plugin? [05:45] it's a Gateway Tablet Convertible, I don't remember the model number at the moment... [05:46] FastZ, yep, and apparently it's been around since the start [05:46] Guys, the art manager refuses to start, can anyone help please? [05:46] malnilion: interesting. thanks for letting me know what you found out about that. [05:46] cpasley: ok well the next step to figure this out is to google with your model number to see if other people are having and reported teh same issue, I looked and didn't see anything recent about 82801g intel sound [05:47] i have a problem with 3d drivers for intel x3100 [05:47] I didn't either. I did see something about a sound card needing to be at IRQ 5, mine says 21...but I don't know how to change it [05:47] cpasley: I don't know anything about that [05:47] ok, thanks for the help! [05:48] cpasley: well good luck [05:48] crf: sounds good [05:48] which program does one use to sync Evolution and a Nokia Cellular phone over IR ? [05:48] ugh, that link didn't seem to help [05:49] I did get my mount point defined and gtkpod installed [05:49] but I'm one of the lucky ones where it doesn't seem to be recognized at all [05:49] maybe it is because mine is a touch and not a classic? [05:49] My LAN and WLAN devices disappeared [05:50] cchild try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:50] hi all...if i want to determine my connection speed, what would be the command for that? [05:51] egc what kind of connection speed? ethernet? [05:51] ok, this will have to be a task for another day. I'm not brave enough to push this farther without first backing up my data [05:51] netrat, thanks for the help, I'm out for now [05:52] egc sudo ethtool eth0 [05:54] netrat, no luck [05:54] the device are missing [05:55] now that i've got dual boot ubuntu and xp, is there a way to run xp on one of the sides of compiz fusion cube? [05:55] NooBBoon are you on Okinawa? i lived there for awhile, i worked on Kadena airbase [05:56] howbeit: not the way you want to [05:56] travisat: do you have a link to the way you're thinking of? [05:56] netrat: yes am in okinawa [05:57] howbeit: you can run xp in a virtual maching like vmware, qemu, kvm or something like that, but then having a dual boot doesn't matter [05:57] hi [05:57] howbeit: if you get the vm set up right it will run fast enough for apps but no real graphic acceleration in it [05:58] Hello good night everybody, does anyone knows the java package name? thank you so much. [05:58] !java [05:58] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [05:58] well i like the dual boot to have the option of booting into xp only [05:58] apt-get install sun-java6-jre , would do the trick? [05:58] but the vmware solution sounds great for just running basic windows things quickly while switchig back and forth with linux [05:58] cchild: try sudo lshw -C network [05:59] howbeit: well sure you can keep that but I don't think you can run a seperate partition safely in a vm [05:59] My eth0 has stopped working reliably of late. Sometimes nothing, sometimes packet loss of 70+%, rarely fine. WiFi and wired works fine from other machines (WinXP and Gutsy). There seems to be lots of pages about this problem, but can't get it sorted. [05:59] howbeit: well that isn't worded correctly I don't think you can run an already installed windows safely in a vm [05:59] I am getting this error message whenever i try to open something KLanucher couldnt reached via DCOP [05:59] ahhh [06:00] howbeit: I really wish you could run 2 oses at the same time with full hardware resources and do what you say have one on one side of the cube and be able to for example play a game in windows and still have a full linux enviroment for the rest of the computer usage [06:00] !sources [06:00] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

Now I dont have any buttons to close and minimize my windows [06:04] can anyone help? [06:04] travisat, how do i get that? [06:04] which one is better? [06:04] joanki: you need both and you can get them with apt [06:04] joanki: or synaptic [06:04] sudo apt-get install sensors-applet [06:04] sudo.... lmsensors? [06:04] what is the winamp of linux?

[06:05] thanks kindofabuzz [06:05] thanks [06:05] joanki: then run sudo sensors-detect [06:05] so I think I figured out this irssi thing, if someone would please use my name in a /me [06:05] joanki: then modprobe the stuff that needs to get in or restart the computer if you aren't comfortable doing that [06:05] Starnestommy: well I would like to open it in something like a notepad [06:06] deope: run 'gksudo gedit' in a terminal then edit it from there [06:06] joanki: then right click on the panel click add to panel find the sensors applet and set it up [06:06] * amenado bruenig hello [06:06] deope: or 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' [06:06] * nickrud sees bruenig [06:06] * bruenig was wrong in his confidence [06:06] Starnestommy: awesome [06:07] NooBBoon have you tried passing the pci=nomsi to the kernel on boot? [06:07] thank you travisat i guess i'll just reboot now [06:07] NooBBoon it's a bug in the 2.6.22 kernel according to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/141343 [06:07] netrat: no, i have only messed about with things once booted up [06:07] netrat: oh! let me check that bug then [06:07] netrat, it was just knetworkmanager not seeing the device am not connect using traditional ifup method [06:08] NooBBoon passing pci=nomsi to the kernel should fix the problem [06:08] can anyone help me getting the internet to work on this old compaq? [06:08] hola [06:08] alguien que hable castellano? [06:09] ermans: ve a #ubuntu-es [06:09] sep no? [06:09] '< [06:09] netrat: thank you! i will try that and see [06:09] ok thx [06:09] por nada [06:09] ouellettesr-> can you acquire an ip address? what is your network layout? [06:09] I meant to say am now connected using ifup method [06:09] NooBBoon: okay hope it does [06:10] Starnestommy: could you check my sources.list for me? [06:10] deope: pastebin it [06:10] Starnestommy: sure [06:10] amenado, i cant ping the router, I have an old compaq 5190 with onboard lan, and I have a pci nic as well neither of them work, i have notices something i have never seen before and that is an etho:avah [06:11] Starnestommy: http://www.jashdjahsjd.pastebin.com/m2dbc58aa [06:11] ouellettesr-> can you describe your network layout? which device is providing ip addresses? dhcp server? [06:11] deope: is that working or not? [06:11] Starnestommy: yes I wanna know if everything is correct [06:12] deope: looks like it [06:12] how do I update all? [06:12] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , is that correct Starnestommy ? [06:12] deope: I think so [06:13] amendo, the router is running a dhcp server, and the pc is set to dhcp, i have tried static as well but that doesnt work [06:13] travisat, which one do i want to add to panel again? [06:13] joanki: hardware sensors [06:13] Starnestommy: how do I install java from the command line? [06:13] wow cool [06:13] three different temperatures [06:13] daft question of the moment... how do I mount a ntfs device such that it mounts automatically on boot? [06:13] I've done this in the past for another HDD mount. I know I could just cut/paste the previous ntfs entry in fstab from my last , but that is not what I want to know. I want to know what gnome utility I should use to do it... [06:13] this is even BETTER than the one i had [06:13] deope: I don't know how to do it in edgy [06:13] ouellettesr-> are your cat5 cables good? can you ping localhost? 127.0.0.1? [06:13] Starnestommy: ok thanks for your time [06:14] joanki: if one isn't showing right you can right click and in preferences you can remove it, I get one wrong temp [06:14] what do you mean you got one wrong temp? [06:14] deope your sources.list looks fine to me [06:14] joanki: it was -12 [06:14] hah [06:14] how do i get it only to show one temperature? [06:14] what besides wine do you folk's recommend for windows emulation? [06:14] ouellettesr: thank you! [06:14] three is cool, but they keep changing - distracting [06:14] joanki: as I said right click hit preference [06:15] ohhhh i see [06:15] deope if you want java6, uncomment lines 26 & 27 (take out the #'s) and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [06:15] Shrugz: Vista? [06:15] joanki: if you need more help ask [06:15] drtgdrt [06:15] amenado, yes cables are known to be good, and i can ping localhost [06:15] what is a nice organization program? kinda like windows calendar, only i dont want it to suck. :) [06:15] can i just show the temperature of the cpu travisat ? i am in preferences and i don't see the options to choose that [06:16] anything vista xp anything else i may be able to use on ubuntu besides wine for useing exicutable files nurzi [06:16] Erickj92: I just use goog calendar :) [06:16] Erickj92 never used windows calendar but evolution has a usable calendar [06:16] joanki: click on the sensors tab, expand the triangle and unclick what you don't want [06:16] ouellettesr-> does your nic have an ip address assigned? what is the ip address assigned? [06:16] awww there it is [06:16] the thing i should care bout is cpu, right? [06:16] Erickj92: another option is sunbird [06:16] not core1 and core 2 [06:16] i see thanks nickrud, and SuperQ, i never thought of that. i use g-mail everyday on windows [06:16] Shrugz, if your looking for emulation, wine is your best bet [06:16] thank you to travisat [06:16] joanki: your choice they mean different things [06:17] k [06:17] joanki: normally though you can go by the cpu temp for an average temp [06:17] yeah ouellettesr i been useing wine but its been on the fritz for me that's why im asking if theres anything else besides that i can use [06:17] thanks SO much! [06:17] amendo, etho doesnt have an address, but etho:avah has 169.254.7.9 and i have no idea what avah is [06:18] Shrugz: run windows in a virtual machine [06:18] ouellettesr-> avahi is the new auto config thing... can you assign a static ip address to your nic? [06:18] vm hummm? [06:18] Erickj92: http://johnnyjacob.wordpress.com/2006/04/30/google-calendar-in-evolution/ [06:18] Shrugz, i havent heard of anything better than wine, but you could always run a virtual machine, although it may be overkill [06:18] ok [06:19] wine = will increase negativity exponentially [06:19] well ive gotten crossover pro to work on here before but it never wants to work [06:19] netrat: I'm afraid pci=nomsi did NOT work. I think i will try the drivers from the realtek site? [06:19] virtualbox HOGS my system [06:19] amendo, i can to eth0, but it wont let me configure eth0:avah [06:19] hello everybody good night, does anyone knows how to install java?? thank you. [06:19] if your computer supports kvm, if you want to do normal windows stuff like office/photoshop it works good with kvm [06:19] to slow to install a program or even run one [06:19] deope if you want java6, uncomment lines 26 & 27 (take out the #'s) and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [06:19] !java [06:19] 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) [06:20] deope, ^^ [06:20] nickrud: thank you! [06:20] unop: :p [06:20] !automount [06:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:20] what does travisat wine or crossover? [06:20] ouellettesr-> only configure your eth0 -- no need for that avahi to be configured [06:20] !mount [06:20] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [06:20] im confused [06:20] I've got a very long fsck operation dealing with some file system inconsistencies. I want it to fix everything automatically, but the -a switch isn't making it do that. Help please? [06:20] the room is going to fast so im trying to follow [06:20] !diskmounter [06:20] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [06:20] amendo, i did try to configure it already, but ill try again [06:20] Shrugz: use crossover is wine that has been tweaked for certain apps === jason is now known as slackd00d [06:20] oh ok [06:21] !DiskMounter [06:21] which codec package should i download: gstream extra plugins? or gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin? (for mp3) [06:21] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [06:21] Shrugz: I prefer wine over crossover but crossover you pay for and I believe you get support [06:21] !mp3 [06:21] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:22] amendo, i set it to static, and still nothing [06:22] what's the "winamp" of linux? [06:22] is it kaffeine? [06:22] you will half to excuse me travisat im fairly new to linux/ubuntu/debian i was used to windows i makeing the transition with out haveing a duel boot and haveing a huge culture shock to it so im paceing my self [06:22] redwhitewaldo install ubuntu-restricted-extras , it gets you mp3 support plus some other useful stuff [06:22] howbeit: there is no "winamp" of linux, it might be xmms, but there are so many audio players it is personal choice [06:22] ouellettesr-> nick is amenado.. what is the ip address you assigned? and what is still nothing meant? [06:23] lol sorry [06:23] Shrugz: no problem, I am always happy to see new people trying linux [06:23] redwhitewaldo, for i in good bad ugly; do sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-$i; done [06:23] Shrugz nothing like diving right in. Like language immersion, you'll learn fast :) [06:23] nickrud: oh, i see. what's the diff between ubuntu-restricted-extras and gstream extra plugins or gstreamer ffmpeg video ? [06:24] amenado, still nothing means still no internet.. I assigned an ip of 192.1.68.1.107, 255.255.255.0, 192.1.68.1.1 [06:24] Anyone got the synaptics driver working with an Alps... it works but it X keeps finding it on its own and not using what i have assigned in the config file [06:24] well a good friend of mine introduced me to ubuntu bugged me for 6 months before i finaly got on it. he said he helped impliment the java into ubuntu he go's by the name of chris he has been a big help to me makeing the transition travisat [06:24] ubuntu-restricted-extras is a meta packaget that installs a bunch of different packages, some are not "free" but it also has regular packages in it [06:24] redwhitewaldo the extras is a meta package. If you type apt-cache depends ubuntu-restricted-extras , you'll see what packages it is defined as depending on. When you install extras, the depended upon packages will be installed. [06:25] ouellettesr-> assigning an ip address does not give you access to internet..what is your route table looked liked? paste it please.. route -n [06:25] so extras gets many packages. it will get many other stuff all at once, correct? [06:25] redwhitewaldo yes. [06:25] will it "clog" up my computer?, nickrud? [06:25] amenado, assigning an ip has always worked to get internet before [06:25] lol [06:25] lol yeah nickrud ive learned alot im used to running box's so i had a semi understanding of linux such as running a web hosting service and what not so i got the gist of it almost plus i love all the php tools that i can get with this makes it alot easyer for me to make mmorpg games [06:25] netrat: the new driver SEEMS to have worked. I followed these steps: http://my.opera.com/knuthy/blog/2007/09/10/network-problemhttp://my.opera.com/knuthy/blog/2007/09/10/network-problem [06:26] redwhitewaldo: I have never clogged up linux, just my home directory [06:26] redwhitewaldo no, if you do the apt-get it will tell you how much will be downloaded [06:26] ouellettesr-> without a good route, you will not be able to get access to the internet [06:26] nickrud: says there is no package: sun-java6-jre [06:26] nickrud: it won't make my ram work harder? [06:26] NooBBoon: good to hear! [06:26] redwhitewaldo and on the clogging issue, I have 12gb root partition and never get close [06:26] redwhitewaldo: nah [06:26] hye guys, when i use the firefox, fonts are usually looks ugly? why it's like this ? [06:26] redwhitewaldo no [06:27] redwhitewaldo just because you've put stuff on the drive, doesn't mean its always in ram [06:27] what file sharing programs are there for linux? [06:27] ex. limewire [06:27] deope put your sources.list back up on pastebin [06:27] howbeit: lots [06:27] ok. i'm just coming from a windows mindset, where the more "programs" a windows user installs, the slower it seems the computer gets everytime one logs on. [06:27] nickrud: ok [06:27] nickrud: how was to open it? gesk gedit ? [06:27] or how? [06:27] quick and easy question: Im doing "sudo chmod u+rw /home/shared/*", then when i look for permissions of a file in /home/shared folder, i find that user group has only access permission and not write permissions, whats wrong here? [06:28] deope gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [06:28] how can i add more programs to the applications add/remove list? [06:28] rgiht [06:28] yaser: andd -R to the chown [06:28] howbeit those are predefined; you can see all possible packages in system->admin->synaptic package manager [06:28] yaser: so sudo chmod -R u+rw etc [06:28] when i use the firefox, fonts are usually look like ugly , why it's like this? [06:28] travisat, i tried that and nothing [06:28] thanks nickrud [06:29] netrat: one final question. the page i was followng says to edit MODULES /etc/rc.conf, but i don't have that file? [06:29] yaser: so sudo chmod -R 766 etc [06:29] i know ubuntu allows multi loggin so far i know (telnet -not secure, and openssh-secure) what other protocols are available [06:29] nickrud: http://www.asjdjasjd.pastebin.com/m45fa310d [06:29] and travisat i got crossover but did not pay for it so i dont get support a friend gave me a copy he paid for [06:29] NooBBoon send me the page you are reading [06:29] travisat, what is the meanig of 766? [06:29] netrat: http://my.opera.com/knuthy/blog/2007/09/10/network-problem [06:29] deope if you want java6, uncomment lines 26 & 27 (take out the #'s) and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin <--- don't forget to change the lines 26 & 27, and save the file ;) [06:30] netrat: everythng worked perfectly, just need to set the drvers to work on boot now i think [06:30] yaser: full priveladges to owner, read write to group, read write to all [06:30] damn...all i have to say is, i am a-mazed by linux. can't believe i'm just discovering it now [06:30] can anyone possibly help me with setting up a ftp file server in ubuntu ? i have vsftpd installed.. and set my directory for sharing .. but how do i login /make new users? [06:31] nickrud: oh is from there, ok let's see [06:31] NooBBoon that /etc/rc.conf file shouldn't matter, restart and see if it still works [06:31] that better? [06:31] NooBBoon just as long as you've install the new modules [06:31] whats the best way to remove the MBR from a system with no OS? [06:31] nickrud: do you know how to grab my trash can to the desktop? [06:31] travisat, it worked thanks!!!, how can i find more info on those numbers like 766 [06:32] netrat: it won't try to load the old driver as well? [06:32] !permissions | yacc [06:32] yacc: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [06:32] yaser: yah you can google for chmod and privaledges [06:32] deope gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop , there's a checkbox on the right [06:32] Y-Town dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 [06:32] nickrud: you're good [06:32] howbeit, yes, ot [06:32] Y-Town remove the first 512 bytes ? [06:32] i've just installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. it's telling me about msttcorefronts. Do I want to use defoma fonts? Are defoma (DEbian FOnt MAnager) fonts good? [06:32] deope did the exact same two things yesterday, deja vu all over again ;) [06:32] yaser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod [06:32] NooBBoon no it shouldn't, as long as you did everything else [06:32] howbeit, yes, it's very nice, especially if you have a system that happens to work out-of-the-box. [06:33] Hello, can someone tell me how to change the boot order of my computer? [06:33] travisat, thanks very much [06:33] netrat: alrght then, i will reboot and try! [06:33] thank you [06:33] Fr|0z3n, you need to do it in bios [06:33] Fr|0z3n, it should be in your BIOS setup [06:33] redwhitewaldo yes, its like a font registry, lets the fonts become available to a bunch of apps [06:33] Fr|0z3n edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [06:33] can anyone possibly help me with setting up a ftp file server in ubuntu ? i have vsftpd installed.. and set my directory for sharing .. but how do i login /make new users? [06:33] nickrud: hehe wasn't me, but was this computer yeah but they changed the distro [06:33] in evolution, how do i update my on the web calendar from google? [06:33] nickrud: says an error on gconf-editor [06:33] and how do I change my bios setup? [06:33] deope must be a typo [06:34] Y-Town /dev/sda <-- will be the hard drive in question, it could be /dev/hda too, be sure you have the right device [06:34] Fr|0z3n, some motherboards allow you to select the bootdrive on startup if you press F11 for example. [06:34] gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop [06:34] is correct? [06:34] nickrud: ok. thanks. i'll find out how to install defoma later [06:34] lemme try [06:34] thanks [06:34] netrat: yea... It has a lilo on it now that I need gone [06:34] nickrud: what's wrong with regular ubuntu fonts? things look nice now? [06:34] . [06:34] gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop <-- just ran this and cut and pasted [06:35] nickrud: i did, bash: gconf-editor: orden no encontrada [06:35] nickrud: what happens if i don't install x-ttcidfont-conf package? does that mean "no msttcorefonts"? [06:35] deope are you using ubuntu, or kubuntu ? kubuntu, I don't know [06:35] nickrud: xubuntu, sorry [06:36] are not the same commands? [06:36] netrat: alright! seems to work even after a reboot! thanks so much for the help! [06:37] NooBBoon: glad i could help [06:37] redwhitewaldo that package does some configs on ttf fonts to make them available to older apps, gnome and firefox will see msttcorefonts (like arial) just fine [06:37] NooBBoon there is a LUG on okinawa [06:37] amenado, http://pastebin.org/28015 [06:38] deope no, gconf is for setting up the gnome desktop, I'm not sure how to do it in xubuntu [06:38] NooBBoon http://okinawalug.com/ [06:38] netrat: hey thanks! that is good info! i will check it out! [06:39] can grub boot from a usb stick as a usb flash device (not emulated) if I kickstart it from a floppy or from the same usb stick that supports fdd boot? (i want to put grub on a small fdd partition at the front of the stick, and the balance of my image on the back half of the stick) [06:39] ouellettesr-> this wont work because you assigned 192.1.68.1.107 to your nic, different subnet from what you pasted [06:41] amenado, nope i changed the subnet, it is 192.168.0.107 [06:41] ouellettesr-> try to assign a 192.168.0.x instead [06:42] amenado, i changed my routers ip to 192.168.0.110 [06:42] DCC SEND HOEUNTOEHUTNOEHUTOENHUEONTUHOETUHOENTUHOENTUHOEUTNHOEUTNOEHUTNOEHUATENUHOEWMBKWQJKMQVJWPCPG<>LRPC<>LPHETIHKWQJMKVJWQIHTNUOHP>C [06:42] ay [06:42] gay [06:42] ouellettesr-> am confused now, what exactly is the ip address assigned now to your eth0 ? [06:43] 192.168.0.107 [06:43] sorry [06:43] ouellettesr-> try to ping 192.168.0.107 and then 192.168.0.110 [06:44] if you cant, your cable is bad or nic card has gone bad.. [06:44] amenado, i can ping 192.168.0.107, but not .110 [06:44] is there a shortcut to opening up a terminal window? [06:45] ouellettesr-> no blinking led indicators? then most likely a bad cable, try it with a working one..swapp them if possible [06:45] howbeit, its disabled by default, you hav to set it [06:46] howbeit, alt+f2 will give you a run prompt, if that's useful [06:46] I am trying to manually partition and I don't know what mount point to put for a fat32 partition. I have the ubuntu ext3 at / and then swap. Where does do I mount extra partitions? [06:46] amenado, yeah the cable works, i pulled it from a working computer, it must be the nics [06:46] they are old [06:46] crossover? [06:46] ouellettesr, is it a crossover cable? [06:46] does anyone know where I would go for troubleshooting questions? [06:47] right here [06:47] ((: [06:47] howbeit, system>preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts and set a shortcut [06:47] ouellettesr-> well you know how to test for a bad cable...if this was the onboard, use the pci, see if that works [06:47] debian-de [06:47] oups [06:47] My kid pushed a bunch of buttons on my keyboard and now compiz wont work, and the computer freezes up when I try to log out. also seems to be real slow [06:47] The computer seemed to go into some kind of sleep mode [06:48] cwillu, yes it is a crossover cable but my router changes to the type of cable [06:48] hmm [06:48] ouellettesr, k, it sounded like you were going nic to nic [06:48] nop [06:49] Ishbibenob: can you try this in console: sudo reboot now [06:49] amenado, yeah there is a pci, and onboard, i have tried both of them [06:49] Ishbibenob, does the capslock light still turn on and off? [06:49] ouellettesr-> you can also test with mii-tool [06:49] Ishbibenob: it will reboot, that will probably fix it [06:49] My computer doesnt have a caps lock light, just the button [06:49] is it a black screen? [06:50] amenado, it says no MII interfaces found [06:50] ouellettesr, sudo it [06:50] I have done several reboots and still doesnt fix the prob [06:50] oh I see [06:50] It has always worked in the past, so whatever he did, messed something up [06:51] I guess that is obvious [06:51] right [06:51] hmmm [06:51] Ishbibenob, you're gonna have to give us more information, what's on the screen right now, etc; I'm not gonna start trying to read your mind :p [06:51] amenado, cwillu, eth0 100 Mbit, half duplex, no link [06:51] anyway, I have tried to go into the desktop effects and enable, but it wont do it [06:51] Ishbibenob sounds strange... [06:51] What do I put for a mount point for a fat32 partition? [06:51] Compiz config messed up.... [06:51] I have checked the forums and found people who have trouble running gnome, but mine has always worked like a dream [06:52] burepe whatever you want to mount it... maybe /mnt/fat32 [06:52] Checked the config and it all looks good, not sure what I am looking for [06:52] Ishbibenob, describe the problem more [06:52] amenado, cwillu, if i unplug the cable from the pci and run that command again it says no-link [06:52] netrat, /media/fat32 you mean; /mnt isn't really the place for those, despite the name [06:53] hello guys:) can someone help me to confiqure my bluetooth hardware(onboard)? [06:53] netrat will it make the directory? is there a standard one? [06:53] maybe the pci card is causing conflicts with the onboard [06:53] ouellettesr-> pci? i thought you were working with the on-board nic? [06:53] amenado, i have both, and have been trying both with everything [06:53] burepe no there is no standard directory, you'll have to create it first. use /media/fat32 as cwillu suggested [06:53] thanks [06:54] When he pushed the buttons, it seemed to try to go into sleep mode, when it did that it restored without any compiz effects and my screenlet layer was at the forefront as if the effect had been turned off. I tried restarting which led to the freeze which i worked around by typing sudo poweroff, after several of those The computer seems to be lagging and freezing at will [06:54] burepe welcome [06:54] ouellettesr-> are you saying using same ip address on both? [06:54] I have never used sleep mode, so I am not sure if that is what happened or not [06:54] amenado, yes, there is only one ip to set and that is eth0, there is no eth1 [06:55] ouellettesr-> what? having both the onboard and the pci card? [06:55] I went in and reinstalled the compiz package which did nothing [06:55] hey people. I am getting an error when I run configure for an app I am building. it says that ./config.sub is not found. how so'? [06:55] how to specify the minimum size of a X-window? [06:56] amenado, if i type ifconfig, there is only eth0 and eth0:avah [06:56] I was wondering if anyone could help me set up my system for dual screen. I have a intel gma 945gm [06:56] Ishbibenob, what does it do after a reboot? [06:56] ouellettesr-> then do you know if thats the onboard or the pci? [06:56] program specified minimum size: <- wanna change this value.. [06:57] loads like it normally should, everything looks the same acts the same until you try to move around and do things [06:57] If I'm on Ubuntu, and using VNC to control another Ubuntu computer, can I save a file I find on the other computer to mine? [06:57] Ishbibenob, if you turn off all desktop effects in system | preferences | appearance? [06:57] brian you can scp it over [06:57] brian that isn't a function of VNC [06:57] When he pushed the button it required me to sign back in almost like I had signed out, but the boxes were solid black and had a funny look to them [06:57] amenado: :D Whats scp? And how might I do that? [06:57] !scp [06:57] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [06:58] brian, what os on the two machines? [06:58] brian-> secure copy [06:58] amenado, its the pci, when i have it pluggen into pci, i type, mii-tool, and it says: eth0 100 Mbit, half duplex, no link..... But if i unplug the pci and type mii-tool it says: no link [06:58] netrat: Ah, dang. Just started using it today, don't really know much about it :P Thought I'd ask [06:58] amenado: Ah, ok :) How do I do that? [06:58] brian that's okay... [06:58] cwillu: Ubuntu. 7.04 on one, 7.10 on the other [06:59] brian may i introduce you to man pages? man scp [06:59] brian Usage: scp filename user@host:filename [06:59] hello I am looking for a little help [06:59] yeah when I that it says "cannot enable desktop effects" it tries and even changes the look of the windows to my theme then gives me the error message [06:59] brian, install openssh-server on at least one machine, and then you can from the other machine enter sftp://first-machines-name.local/ to browse and move files around [06:59] hello guys:) can someone help me to confiqure my bluetooth hardware(onboard)? [06:59] brian, assuming there's no firewall between them [06:59] Dusti1 ask away [06:59] Ishbibenob, are you enabling or disabling them? [06:59] it shouldn't say anything about 'cannot enable' if you do what I said [06:59] my laptop has no cd i am running puppy linux now have a 1 gig usb stick how can i install ubuntu from it [06:59] ? [07:00] it is currently disabled, trying to enable them [07:00] anyone know how to get Intel 82801H HD audio controller to work under gutsy?

[07:01] Dusti1-> you can copy the liveCD into a directory and then modify the menu.lst of your puppy to point to that liveCD .. [07:01] nothing other than the freezing when I push the log out icon on both the cairo dock and taskbar [07:02] Ishbibenob, cairo? [07:02] and the slow processing [07:02] where is the menu.lst [07:02] anyone know how to get Intel 82801H HD audio controller to work under gutsy? [07:02] Dusti1-> you need to copy the vmlinuz and initrd image from the livecd to that directory [07:02] so to my usb stick [07:02] Cairo Dock (kinda like Avant window nav) mac type menu [07:02] Dusti1-> does puppy linux uses grub or lilo to boot? if grub maybe its grub.conf if not menu.lst [07:02] Ishbibenob, can you remove it for now?

[07:06] всем привет [07:07] Ishbibenob, log out, from the login screen, look for a 'sessions' button, and select gnome-failsafe (you're using normal ubuntu, not xubuntu or anything right)? [07:07] you modify the menu.lst ..add an entry for your new boot from the hd, pointing to that directory you uncompressed the iso [07:07] I have a mac downstairs, would I need to install this program on it?

[07:07] log in [07:07] I see [07:07] roxahris well, put the cd in start your pc and if you like do an install [07:08] ok [07:08] hi there! i've tried a LOT to get my laptop to connect to a wpa encrypted network, nothing works! i'm now trying wicd... any tips? [07:08] тут по-русски будут говорить? [07:08] cwillu, how do you log out from command line? [07:09] Ishbibenob, ugly way to do it is to just hit ctrl+alt+backspace (which will kill the display server, and any open programs with no further prompts) [07:09] !ru Antoni1 [07:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about ru antoni1 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:09] ok [07:10] none here has Intel 82801H HD sound card?

[07:14] no [07:14] good :p [07:14] just tried pushing the log out button [07:14] mouse stopped moving? [07:14] hi,am not able to get complete text in kannada [07:14] sorry... exited by mistake... do i have to configure wpa_supplicant before using wpa? [07:15] mouse works good [07:15] vbhide, define 'configure' [07:15] anyone able to send me their "Times" font? [07:15] vbhide, should be point and click (it'll ask for a password, etc) [07:15] go to the wpasupplicant.conf file and change some stuff [07:15] i have a laptop with windows installed curerntly, i don't want to damage that install. i have free partions on the drives(2).. is the install cd able to install to a separate partition while acheiving full dual boot without third party software? can the dual boot be easily removed? [07:15] vbhide, you shouldn't need to edit anything, unless your card doesn't work by default, or you need it to work without a logged in session [07:15] blocks show up in between [07:16] ishbibenob, what locks up when you hit logout? [07:16] what's the diff between xubuntu-restricted-codecs and ubuntu-restricted-codecs? [07:16] hi,am not able to get complete text in kannada,blocks show up in between.... [07:16] i tried everything that a newbie could... i'm trying wicd now [07:16] everything, cant choose the applications/places/system menus or click any desktop item, unless I push escape [07:16] then it frees it up [07:17] hi arvind, have you instaled kannada in the language support? [07:17] thats sounds like some crazy compiz modifier key issue [07:17] ishbibenob, we're talking about something other than the prompt that pops up when you hit the logout button? [07:17] the prompt does not show up when I hit the log out button [07:18] There may be other things that could freeze it, but that is the one that I noticed, I wait for the prompt and nothing [07:18] ishbibenob, create a new user (System | administration | users, make it a desktop user, simple password, etc) [07:18] ok [07:18] ishbibenob, and then logout (ctrl+alt+backspace or whatever), and log in under that user === amidaniel|away is now known as amidaniel [07:19] folks, how do i remove everything that ubuntu-restricted-codecs installed? [07:20] redwhitewaldo, with considerable pain and suffering :p [07:20] redwhitewaldo why would you wanna do that? [07:20] sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras redwhitewaldo [07:20] vbhide, how do i do that...sorry didnt see ur reply [07:20] he wants to install the xubuntu ones [07:21] xubuntu-restricted-extras [07:21] Survivorman: that doesn't remove the 20 megs of packages. only the 29 kb of the meta package. [07:21] Survivorman, that won't get rid of dependencies [07:21] vbhide, i got it [07:21] i know ubuntu allows multi loggin so far i know (telnet -not secure, and openssh-secure) what other protocols are available [07:21] Stroganoff: because i want to install the xubuntu-restricted-codecs instead. [07:21] cwillu, is there any real difference in the metapackages? [07:21] redwhitewaldo, use aptitude, it should offer to uninstall the dependencies as well [07:21] Survivorman, just look at what they install in synaptic (open dependencies on each one) [07:22] okay cwillu, thanks. [07:22] redwhitewaldo: purge the packages listed here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:22] sudo apt-get purge PACKAGE [07:22] Stroganoff: but that's just about 14 packages. my install put in 39 packages [07:22] jaffarkelshac, you could say that someone accessing a webserver on your machine is 'logging on' .. so technically, if your computer is networked and other computers access it, users can log in in all sorts of ways [07:22] redwhitewaldo: sudo apt-get autoremove [07:22] hello good night, question, how do I change the file attributes to executable [07:23] n-iCe: chmod +x file [07:23] thanks [07:23] (from terminal) [07:23] redwhitewaldo, the only difference is the gstreamer plugins, which are probably useful to have around anyway [07:23] n-iCe have you been able to find your password? [07:23] cwillu, that worked, at least I am able click log out and it gives the prompt [07:24] Stroganoff I re-installed [07:24] ishbibenob, okay [07:24] n-iCe that was not necessary [07:24] worked :p [07:24] only problem I guess would be that all my user setting and everything are on the other, what would be the best thing to do? [07:24] next time mind case sensitivity ;) [07:24] how Do I get the autopackage support? [07:24] cwillu: gstreamer plugins are in the U-restricetd-extras or in the xubunu-restircetd-extras? [07:24] :| [07:24] Starnestommy oh I did [07:24] Stroganoff: your advice doesn't work [07:24] redwhitewaldo, u [07:25] plz i have an oral for tomorrow and im very sleepy i need a text to mp3 (or any other audio extention) program to read it to me wile i have my eyes closed [07:25] and what's the gstreamer plugins good for? if they're good, how come Xubuntu doesn't have them? [07:25] redwhitewaldo: have you any problems with ubuntu-restricted-extras? [07:25] because they're a memory hog? [07:25] Stroganoff: no. i just thought that since i'm on xubuntu, i should get the xubuntu-restricted-extras package [07:25] redwhitewaldo, things aren't loaded into memory unless they're being used generally [07:26] how Do I get the autopackage support? I need it, trying to run the executable I get that,telling me for the autopackage [07:26] isnt there any ubuntu text to sound software?? [07:26] cwillu: so the gsteramer-plugins file(s) would only be loaded when i have a media player progam running? [07:26] J-Unit: espeak [07:26] redwhitewaldo, maybe it depends on the intended programs using them, since xubuntu and ubuntu use different apps as defaults [07:26] redwhitewaldo, yes [07:26] Stroganoff, in repositories? [07:26] yep [07:26] cwillu, should I swap all my info then delete the other user, what do you think? [07:26] ishbibenob, thinking [07:26] ok [07:27] thanks [07:27] ok. well, what do i do now? I did a "remove" of ubuntu-restricted-extras package, yet all the other packages it installed are still on my computer. [07:27] brb rebootingh [07:27] ? [07:27] rebooting [07:27] ishbibenob, the tricky thing being that your username shows up in various places in the profile, so just copying either profile to the other will probably break other things in weird and wonderful ways [07:27] cwillu: oh, btw, i'm on 8.04. 8-) [07:27] hmm, I see [07:27] Stroganoff, synaptic says i have it installed alredy!!!!! were is it? [07:27] hy [07:27] redwhitewaldo, I know, I was checking the 8.04 repo's when I told you that [07:28] cwillu: 8-) [07:28] * cwillu knows all :p [07:28] J-Unit: terminal: espeak --help [07:28] cwillu: how'd u know? [07:28] Stroganoff, its a terminal program?? [07:28] I have my ways [07:28] the fact that you were in #ubuntu+1 was the more obvious way though :p [07:28] ha ha [07:28] irc.whatnet.org [07:29] J-Unit yes [07:29] redwhitewaldo, it's only a handful of packages, you could just deselect them by hand. Could be that you have something installed that pulled them in already though [07:29] Compiz freezes randomly. I'm using Kubuntu Hardy and the latest NVidia driver on a GeForce 6150SE. [07:29] cwillu: thanks. [07:29] g'night [07:30] ishbibenob, well, the obvious approach I can think of (although a bit tedious), is to make a copy of everything in your home directory (including .* files which are hidden by default, hit ctrl+h in nautilus to show them) [07:30] ishbibenob, and then delete all the .* folders one by one until you find the one that unbreaks it [07:30] are KDE and Gnome "shells" ? [07:30] Stroganoff, omg plz i have no idea how to use this...all i wanna do is convert a .doc to .mp3 or any other sound extension if mp3 is not possible, i dont care wat voice etc plz just give me a command im a very last minute person its 2 30 am i have to wake up at 6 am and i need to practice for an oral tomorrow [07:31] Sheff: No. [07:31] could you make a backup of user x, move it to y, delete x and then remake x and move settings back to x? [07:31] J-Unit: don't cry, just try espeak --help [07:31] it may be not THAT complicated [07:31] th0ger: "desktop environment" ? [07:32] make a copy of home folder to a boot drive or somethin, or to the other user? [07:32] how do I set my wireless connection as default and auto connect on reboot? [07:32] ishbibenob, even just to another folder in the same user [07:32] Sheff: Yes :) [07:32] ok [07:32] Stroganoff, i did that but i dont rely understand the output.. [07:32] i ve installed proftpd , how to test if it works? [07:32] ishbibenob, it's the .foo files that you need to back up (just be careful as you delete stuff) [07:32] th0ger: what is "Window Manager" then? [07:32] ok [07:32] Sheff: KDE=K Desktop Environment. [07:32] Sheff, in the accepted definition of a 'shell', kde and gnome do not fit that description .. but since they allow the user to interact with the system they can be thought of as shells .. but the proper term for them would be Desktop Environments (as they encompass a lot of 'shells') [07:33] cwillu, but won't not knowing what caused the problem in the first place put the new user at risk if importing potentially tainted settings that could disrupt the new user [07:33] Stroganoff, -f and then all the text? [07:33] i'm installing it right now... [07:33] Survivorman, we're not importing anything [07:33] ah, just backing up data? [07:33] Survivorman, you make a backup of everything, and then delete the fiels (to let them default) one by one [07:33] Sheff, desktop environments use window managers to manage windows, position them, draw extension, open, close and maximize them, etc [07:34] the following is my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62388/ [07:34] ok cwillu, I understand. settings default. [07:34] how do I extract 7zip archives? :D [07:34] Stroganoff, im so stupid, i like copy pasted my hw into it :( [07:34] J-Unit im sure you can input files too [07:34] Sheff: KDE and gnome are also window mangers. But what makes then desktop environments, is that they support all kinds of interactive shit between applications. (or something like that) [07:34] wers, there is a 7zip package [07:34] /msg nickserv link greenstar madman99 [07:34] J-Unit, at first, copy all that text out of word into a plain text file [07:34] th0ger, language [07:34] unop_: sorry [07:34] what is the window manager for KDE and Gnome? I am trying to compare with windows [07:34] Stroganoff, save it as .rtf u mean? [07:35] no [07:35] .TXT [07:35] unop_, E: Couldn't find package 7zip [07:35] if you dont know how, just copy everything into gedit [07:35] and save [07:35] I mean a window manager is a program? [07:35] Inside the home folder go through every file right? is there a specific folder or file type I should be watching for? [07:35] then: espeak -f textfile.txt -w outputfile.wav [07:35] werdz, apt-cache search 7z [07:36] J-Unit, do you understand? [07:36] wers, sorry, p7zip [07:36] Stroganoff, i chose text and not text encoded [07:36] put textfile.txt into you home and run the command [07:36] no not like that :) - - what is the equivalent of explorer.exe in Ubuntu? [07:36] Stroganoff, both are .txt thats y im sayin === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:36] Sheff, i believe gnome uses metacity as it's window manager, it is a program yes [07:36] hi,all when I running ' apt-get update ' I got ' Hash Sum Mismatch' ? how to fixed it? [07:36] how come the rt61pci driver keeps crashing my entire ubuntu 8.04 desktop sessions? it's a linkysy wmp54g 4.1 [07:36] Sheff: Thats a weird question... [07:36] hello [07:37] J-Unit as long as its not RTF [07:37] !Hardy | Armadillio [07:37] Armadillio: 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 [07:37] now run J-Unit: espeak -f textfile.txt -w outputfile.wav [07:37] how do I use p7zip to extract? :D [07:37] man [07:37] ask man [07:37] wers, man p7zip :d [07:37] hey stroganof [07:37] long time no see [07:37] erm [07:37] wers, you can also use xarchiver to extract 7zip files, i think [07:37] :( hehe [07:37] I want windows and shell be very simple like windows classic theme. without ANY effects and beauty, how do I? [07:38] how do I set my wireless connection as default and auto connect on reboot? [07:38] J-Unit its really simple, have you got it? [07:38] wers sudo apt-get install unp ... unp unpakcs all kinds of shit trough CLI, so you don't have to worry about remembering shit [07:38] Stroganoff, do i have to cd to location of .txt b4 doing that? [07:38] yes [07:38] or do it like this: [07:38] omnz0r, language [07:38] espeak -f /home/junit/blablabla/textfile.txt -w outputfile.wav [07:38] cwillu this is ishbibenob, do I look for any specific file type? [07:39] n-iCe: edit /etc/network/interfaces..... add a line "auto eth1" or whatever [07:39] omnz0r, so i just run unp ? [07:39] what happened to all the programs I installed with the Synaptics manager? [07:39] nic_, just deal with the folders that start with a '.' for now [07:39] i don't see them in my applications list [07:39] wers: cd into the dir where you want your files to be ... the unp [07:39] Stroganoff, well i did cd ~/Desktop/ b4 typing wat u gave me slightly edited with assignment name.txt [07:39] the=then* [07:39] Stroganoff, .wav got created but its not making noise [07:39] nic_, back them all up first to another folder though [07:40] there's probably other ways to do it, but that's one [07:40] J-Unit are you sure your .txt is just plain text? [07:40] J-Unit: open it with gedit or any EDITOR [07:40] damo23 uhm [07:40] where are all the programs i installed with the Synaptics Package Manager placed? I don't see them under applications [07:40] J-Unit: i just tested the command, it worked at the start. [07:40] Stroganoff, i used openoffice to make it .txt (Text) [07:40] damo23 take a look: http://asdasdasd.pastebin.com/m6ef7fecc is it correct? [07:41] cwillu, another dumb question, where can I make a backup of the home folder without it being inside the home folder? [07:41] Stroganoff, i have a plan, ill do gedit then put assignment in there and save it [07:41] J-Unit that was my plan [07:41] Stroganoff, lol [07:41] Stroganoff, that actually made me laf alot [07:42] Stroganoff, anyway im gona do it now [07:42] nic_, you can do something like this. (cd /path/to/anotherfolder; tar czf homefolder.tgz ~) [07:42] J-Unit, you might want to adjust the reading speed with a third parameter: espeak -f textfile.txt -w outputfile.wav -s 170 [07:42] 170 is default [07:42] choose something from 80 to 370 [07:42] nic_, in nautilus, just open the home folder, select everything, hit copy, make a new folder, move into it, and hit paste [07:42] n-iCe: i think the "auto wlan0" needs to be at the top of that wlan0 block [07:42] good night, J-Unit [07:42] thanks [07:42] Stroganoff, ur leaving? [07:43] tarrus: in synaptic, select settings/pref and check "show packages prop..." then select your package and you will see what and where have been installed in the "installed files" tab [07:43] no [07:43] stroganof [07:43] Stroganoff, i still have to memorize 3.5 pages if u ment goodnight to me to leave [07:43] remember me? i think i once asked you if your name was related to the quake strogg [07:43] :P [07:43] J-Unit well you could have started earlier ;) [07:43] nic_: you might use a folder like /mnt/backup or /media/backup. But you should really use another disk/partition if the backup should be useful. [07:44] dmkae faintly ;) === epitron is now known as krebs [07:44] cool [07:44] so you remember [07:44] Hi, why i can remove/add a new document in partition ntfs what is wrong ? http://pastebin.com/m172ce7fc , and how i need add the line for work!

[07:52] Stroganoff, omg this guy sounds worse than microsoft sam 0_0 [07:52] kelvin911, what makes you think we will support windows here, this is #ubuntu .. your question is also off-topic (see the topic) [07:52] there are other voices [07:52] adrian_2002ca, #adrian_2002ca [07:52] but i have no time to look into that right now [07:52] how to config anonymous login for ftp server?

[07:52] Stroganoff, how do i look into it? [07:52] i installed mutella, but it appears to be command line only [07:52] J-Unit: man espeak [07:52] clarkGamble: that's a channel? really?

[07:54] anyway i dont wanna install anything, i find that when i click browse windows are looking for *.theme file so i i wonder if i can import custom theme [07:55] clarkGamble: this is exciting, i am gonna get a computer help channel set up in my area [07:55] ok [07:55] is mandriva mandrake? [07:55] Hola! :) [07:55] I think so [07:56] mandrake changed its name because of copyright issues to mandriv [07:56] *a [07:56] clarkGamble: is there a possibility of running scripts for my channel or does freenode take care of that>?

[07:56] que hay de nuevo? :) [07:56] Sheff: Of course [07:56] e-rod aquí es en inglés ve a #ubuntu-es para español [07:57] ooh! ooh! :D [07:57] k, thanks [07:57] allright! :D [07:57] I am gonna try my english :) [07:57] Is there anyway to make it so that the file system in ubuntu recognizes special characters (ò, è, `, à, etc.) in the filenames? [07:57] adrian_2002ca, #freenode,aks there [07:57] cwillu, looks like a no go, unless I did something wrong [07:58] #ubuntu-es is boring... [07:58] I went through the whole home folder deleting them all and still doesnt work correctly [07:58] maestrotech: it already does it [07:58] maestrotech: doesn't it do that already? [07:58] everybody is sleeping in spain... [07:58] thanks man [07:58] maestrotech, sure, check out the utf8 option specific to your filesystem in the mount manpage [07:58] ishbibenob, sorry, I should have mentioned, did you relog after each attempt? [07:58] no, i am copying my files over from one disk to the other, and it is converting all "ò, è, `, à, etc." to "?" [07:59] e-rod: this is not a chat channel; join #ubuntu-offtopic for that thanks [07:59] (unlike most things in gnome, those changes wouldn't take effect until the responsible problem restarted) [07:59] no, so I need to log in and out after every attempt [07:59] maestrotech: it' scoming from windows? [07:59] what is the topic? :) [07:59] maestrotech, what filesystem? [07:59] maestrotech: or another old linux [07:59] e-rod: this is the ubuntu support channel thanks [07:59] e-rod, this is techsupport [07:59] e-rod, read the topic :) [08:00] sorry I am lost :-ÃL [08:00] bluefrog: you are right. [08:00] bluefrog: cwillu: I am a dummy [08:00] :( [08:00] helo [08:00] thank you for listening to me whine about nothing. lol [08:01] maestrotech: sudo nano /etc/fstab [08:01] maestrotech: add iocharset=utf8 to the ext3 options [08:01] or set the charset you are using on windows === bluefrog is now known as blue-frog [08:02] i think windows uses utf8 or utf16, can't remember which [08:02] Stroganoff: Thanks man, i think i'm all set. I was looking at an older copy. As soon as someone said, "It does support it". I tried recopying it...and it worked with the extended charset. [08:02] i should have checked. [08:02] Hi. Anybody of you having experiences of the saturday update for HHbeta breaking the usage of ndiswrapper? It worked with the pure beta version. [08:02] unop__: no it uses ISO locales [08:02] i think [08:02] i made a poor assumption. thank you again guys. [08:02] at least the non-english versions of windows [08:03] imexil: that is in #ubuntu+1 thanks [08:03] anyway iocharset=utf8 might be worth a try [08:03] ok i'll go there than. sorry for spamming then. ;) [08:04] cwillu, do you think this problem would be in direct relation to a file change i have made. For instance I was downloading something last night and it gave me trouble, you think if I locate whatever I have done in the last 24 hours I can eliminate the problem? [08:04] Stroganoff, errm, i dont think so - i've seen characters render fine in filenames that aren't in my local chararset [08:05] hi all... I'm getting a very odd bug with windows in ubuntu 7.10 [08:05] yep unop__, its utf16 [08:05] at least internally [08:05] on restart I don't have borders on windows... title bar is gone... terminal is all white with no text [08:05] probably [08:05] nic_, may not be the fastest way though [08:05] where do I get a autopackage support? [08:05] Stroganoff, yea, i remember reading about that somewhere [08:05] joecurlee: with compiz on? [08:05] nic_, did you relog after each change? [08:06] ok, so far still doing it [08:06] not finished [08:06] k cu [08:06] bazhang [08:06] no [08:06] nic_, you can do like half of them at a time [08:06] bazhang: i removed compiz still got problem [08:06] joecurlee: do you have you tried logging on from another account to see if that error is still there? [08:06] nic_, if one set fixes it, then restore half of them, etc [08:06] ok [08:06] got it [08:06] where do I get a autopackage support? [08:07] n-iCe: autopackage? [08:07] that's why the files ask for [08:07] this is definitely related to compiz though... the only way to make it work again is if I go to appearance > visual effects and choose "normal" (changing from none) and then choose "use previous settings" which sets it back to "none" [08:07] n-iCe: what distro do you use? [08:07] xubuntu [08:07] it is as though ubuntu is trying to use an old compiz settings file [08:07] n-iCe: http://geocities.com/slackd00d/ [08:07] Sinnerman: no I haven't tried that [08:07] i have all the packages there [08:08] n-iCe: what files are asking for autopackage? [08:08] quit GoodNight! :) [08:08] joecurlee: what graphics card do you have? [08:08] nvidia 7 series [08:08] i believe 7600 [08:08] thats what i have [08:09] Starnestommy well [08:09] with compiz i have a bit of tearing... i don't care about compiz though. This is just a media box [08:09] joecurlee: im not entirely sure, but i noticed someone posting something about a fix for nvidia cards in #compiz-fusion about loss of window decorations, it might be worth asking in there. [08:09] trying to open the executable appears this message: [08:09] how would i apply this patch? http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/2/26 [08:09] Sinnerman: ok thanks i'll try it [08:09] the autopackage support code could not be installed [08:10] n-iCe: what executable? [08:10] it can be manually downloaded and installed by running the installation script locatd in the downloaded archive [08:10] joecurlee: i'll grep my logs, see if i can find it again. im no expert, but that might be your solution. [08:10] Starnestommy amsn [08:10] i also have 7600 gt [08:10] is a xmessage that's whay it says above [08:10] Armadillio: for gutsy? [08:10] #sdad [08:10] for hardy. but i think it can be applied on hardy. [08:10] it should be the same principle [08:10] Armadillio: then this is not the channel for that [08:11] n-iCe: did you install amsn through apt-get install amsn, the package manager, add/remove, or something else? [08:11] ok, it's for edgy then. [08:11] Starnestommy from the site, because using apt-get doesn't install the lastest version [08:11] Sinnerman: thanks [08:12] n-iCe: this is why I always go through the package manager. I'm not sure how to get the site's version of amsn working [08:13] cwillu, if I have this backed up in a folder on the desktop will it still read it as being in the home folder or should that work? [08:13] Starnestommy: http://www.autopackage.org/docs/howto-install/ [08:14] n-iCe: why install from somewhere outside the repos? what new function does this version have? [08:14] what's the directory path for the desktop? [08:14] bazhang a lot [08:14] tarrus: /home//Desktop [08:14] Starnestommy: thanks [08:15] n-iCe: such as? [08:15] nic_, no it won't [08:15] whats a good program for coding php? [08:15] such as webcam support, nudges, voice chat, display, etc [08:15] tsukasa notepad [08:15] wont work, or wont see it as being in the home folder [08:15] nic_, "~/Desktop/Backup/.gconf" won't get used as the gconf directory, it has to be in home [08:16] dammed frustrating. 7.10 will not give me the right resolution on my laptop screen and 8.04 screws up on usb microphones shared with vmware. [08:16] n-iCe: and these will work in ubuntu? or only in amsn itself [08:16] ok [08:16] hi, i have problem with bluetooth [08:16] bazhang both? [08:16] n-iCe, with syntax highlighting and stuff [08:16] n-iCe: you know this how? [08:16] the thing is why can't I open the executable [08:16] bazhang I used it before [08:16] n-iCe: with ubuntu? [08:17] yes [08:17] any idea how I can make 7.10 give me full screen resolution? [08:17] w3c rolls in its grave :p [08:17] n-iCe: then you need no help? [08:17] some time ago i had that python bluetooth autodetection [08:17] bah, wrong room [08:17] (kde), but i killed it [08:17] and now i can't find that program [08:17] anybody can give me exact filename? [08:17] sb 1640x1050 and not 1280x7something? [08:18] that was nice feature to start automaticly kbluetoothd [08:18] tiltedwindmills: what do you have installed currently? [08:18] 7.10 [08:18] bazhang I need how to run the exectubale because isn't working anymore... [08:18] n-iCe: what isnt working anymore? [08:18] nevermind [08:18] im gonna do it from the command line [08:19] must have usb audio fed to virtual machine so I backed off to where that works [08:19] can anyone please tell me of any experiences upgrading from gutsy to hardy? [08:19] why is installing apps for linux so difficult? I can't seem to install the java JRE i got from the java website [08:19] Suggestion: re-resign the login dialogs so that this will not happen to (me) anymore: while people are watchingm you log in, you make a mistake, yoo re-login and you accidentally type your password to the visible username field...!

[08:29] how can I find out what drivers it installed [08:29] mEck0: access control list tools [08:29] blue-frog: okay, thx, *googling* [08:29] thanks Survivorman [08:29] mEck0: http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/ACL/linux-acl.html [08:30] mEck0, you can do them without ACLs .. using groups and ownership .. [08:30] tiltedwindmills: check the restricted drivers manager; is that in use/enabled? [08:30] blue-frog: thx a lot! [08:30] np LukeL_ [08:30] hey guys, what does this command do?: "find ./ -name *.db | awk rm" [08:30] blue-frog: but it's not possible without acl just with chmod right? as I understood it [08:30] maestrotech, probably deletes a bunch of files [08:31] maestrotech, that's a shoddy command, removes all *.db files (recursively) from the current directory [08:31] mEck0: not what you want to do [08:31] yes, it is in use and installed ati accelerated graphics driver and wifi driver [08:31] mEck0, not just chmod, you need groups, so you need chgrp [08:31] cwillu , unop__: that's what I thought it did....but the files seem to still be there. [08:31] blue-frog: ok [08:31] unop__: I see [08:32] tiltedwindmills: and you want to up the resolution? what is the precise nature of your problem [08:32] unop__: but the first time i ran it...i heard the hard drive rumble. [08:32] unop__: I'm scared. [08:32] lol [08:32] maestrotech, you probably need this. find ./ -name *.db -exec rm '{}' \; [08:33] maestrotech, i dont think "awk rm" does what it appears to be doing there, i'm not very used to awk but i guess that's invalid awk syntax [08:33] does anyone know where I can find the plugin shown here (the terminal window one): http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3159/2394773080_c74ba27f87_b.jpg [08:33] maestrotech, but find still will look for all those files (which is why you hear your drive spin) [08:33] Peddy: for gutsy? [08:34] cwillu, Since I am waiting for my virtual box file to still backup let me ask you a question, once I find the file that is causing the problem will deleting it be the solution or moving it? [08:34] bazhang: correct [08:34] bazhang: is it even possible? [08:34] Peddy: mozilla. lightning calendar [08:35] bazhang: current resolution is 1280x1024, native is 1680x1040. distorted screen is hard to read [08:35] blue-frog: the terminal window one? [08:35] what's xubuntu? linux-x86 linux_x86_64 , linux-powerpc, linux-sparc or what? [08:35] Peddy: oh no [08:35] blue-frog: ok, thanks anyway [08:36] tiltedwindmills: could you pastebin your xorg.conf please? [08:36] Peddy: that's avant window navigator feature [08:36] k [08:36] Peddy, looks like that windows just has it's "window decorations" removed .. I dont use gnome so i cant say where this is .. but have a look in tht' window's menu (right click title bar) or in the terminal's options [08:36] n-iCe, refers to computer architecture. [08:36] anyone there can tell me what program i need or what to do to get 2 computers in network work togetehr [08:36] i found my mistake...i wanted to use "xargs" not "awk" [08:36] n-iCe, what computer do you have [08:37] maestrotech, ouch, careful, spelling mistakes on linux can be costly [08:37] http://www.xubuntu.org/ n-iCe [08:37] Simarson: you need a crossed ethernet cable or a straight cable and a hub [08:37] unop__: isn't it pointing out from the dock, though? I'm pretty sure its connected to it [08:38] oh [08:38] unop__: indeed. [08:38] blue-frog: oh yes, I know its AWN. Sorry :P [08:38] Peddy: shows the window when hovering the mouse on the icon [08:38] Survivorman intel inside pentium 4 [08:38] unop__: my new command doesn't work either because of spaces in the directory name. [08:38] argh. [08:38] emachines [08:38] x86 [08:38] maestrotech, yep, thats another thing, you have to handle spaces well, or that can be disastrous too [08:39] n-iCe, x86 [08:39] unop__: I think i'm going to hurt myself tonight. ;) [08:39] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62390/ [08:39] maestrotech, find ./ -iname "*.db" -print0 | xargs -0 rm [08:39] thanks! [08:39] n-iCe, you're welcome [08:40] unop__, yaaaa,that is a very cool and long command,man [08:40] simarson: what were you thinking about when you said "work together" [08:40] maestrotech, or much better. find ./ -iname "*.db" -exec rm '{}' \; [08:40] <_maw> any suggest a notebook wireless NIC with good linux compatibility? [08:40] unop__: what you initially stated. ;) [08:40] bazhang, I did post that to Brainstorm. Thx for you, voted and commented also other things, and became a brainstormer! Hooray for this community! [08:40] hi everyone [08:41] tiltedwindmills: it reports your card as : Generic Video Card is that correct? and you are using glx? === user1 is now known as Greek [08:41] i need to know how can i change the resolution of the screen from the terminal [08:41] bad hardware detect [08:41] gatestone: glad to be of assistance ;] [08:42] the card is a ATi Mobility Radeon X1600 256 MB GDDR3 [08:42] or so sez the docs [08:42] krey: xrandr --screen 0 --size 1024x768 --rate 60 [08:43] tiltedwindmills: how about trying sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and entering the correct info? use defaults or leave blank when you dont know [08:43] unop__: goodnight unop__, thanks for your help. [08:43] Btw, here is another brainstorming idea ;-) People who don't have much tech competence could just hang around here and praise and support others! Just being nice and some more niceness could make this channel even a better place! [08:43] trying that [08:43] thanks damo23 i will try [08:44] gatestone: that would create a flood most likely making here unreadable--nice sentiment though [08:45] blue-frog: I have a cable from both comp to a router. both are on the internet. but what now? do i need a program for the share files thing? [08:46] Hey People! [08:46] I have alsways been using this to start my root-terminal: gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator. Since a few days, it hangs for about 5 minutes, until the terminal is started. Any ideas? [08:47] hi guys [08:47] hi [08:47] has anyone ever used /etc/hushlogins instead of ~/.hushlogin ? === jason is now known as slackd00d [08:48] seems not :s [08:50] Why ubuntu dont link to the dialy beta instead of the old beta? the mayority download the old beta i then they have to download alot of updates....... [08:50] cvd-pr: beta? gutsy is final [08:50] anyone there can tell me how to share files with 2 comps wired together with a router? [08:51] Simarson: depends on the OS on these computers [08:51] thas was just a quiestion [08:51] and on how often you want to share files [08:51] cvd-pr: gutsy is not in beta [08:51] ubuntu offcause :) [08:51] Simarson: is it for permanent shares or just once?

[08:59] fx|RabBit: install checkinstall, then instead of doing sudo make install you do sudo make checkinstall and it will make a deb [09:00] that easy?? [09:00] yup [09:00] niceee!! [09:00] fx|RabBit, yes [09:00] thx alot m8;) [09:01] hischild: will that work for python packages?? [09:01] why don't they all do that ?? whenever I go to a webpage with software available to download they never provide a deb package === nomark is now known as IE6MustDie === clarkGamble is now known as icesword [09:01] tiltedwindmills, it's a wrapper for installing source packages. If your python packages is from source, then you can install it with checkinstall. [09:01] kindofabuzz: one more quetsion: that linux-uvc-source installs a few other packags in the process is that being considered by checkinstall? [09:02] fx|RabBit: well you have to have all the dependancies to make that source, the checkinstall will include it all [09:02] how come xchat connets almost instally on windows but takes 1-2 min on ubuntu.

[09:04] Im sorry to say that I've forgotten the name of the person that helped with my video problem but your suggestion worked. many thanks [09:04] yeah i love checkinstall, saves time so you don't have to remake from source after you do it once, just save that deb somewhere and you have it forever [09:04] tiltedwindmills: success?

[11:28] My problem started just yesterday. [11:28] francesco_: oh, some intel hda soundcards exhibit that kind of behaviour. i suggest you search ubuntu forums. [11:28] im having a hard time playing .avi files with Mplayer Movie Player [11:29] hello [11:29] how can I update my video card [11:29] francesco_: started just yesterday means it worked before then? [11:29] I downloaded the latest codecs but it stats to play and then it cuts off [11:29] nucco: Yes. [11:29] how can I update my video card's driver? [11:29] can it just be the avi file is corrupted? [11:29] Frodoli1, what type of card do you have? [11:29] francesco_: make sure you don't have an important slider turned all the way down in the mixer. i assume you're using gnome? [11:30] I followed the procedure https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting but it didn't work. It seems that Ubuntu recognizes the soundcard, but it doesn't work. [11:30] Yes, nucco. [11:30] nucco: What do you mean by slider? [11:31] francesco_: in a terminal type "lspci" without the quotes, it you should be able to tell your soundcard by reading the output. pls post its name here [11:31] Ok. [11:31] francesco_: sliders are those things you move up or down to raise or lower the volume :) [11:32] nucco: They are ok. [11:32] anyone had the problem with gnome-terminal with the "n" key opening a new terminal ? [11:32] francesco_: find out what soundcard you have then. [11:33] zmatt: it means 'shift' and 'ctrl' are probably stuck down [11:33] nucco: It's a sound blaster live. It uses emu10k1 as driver. [11:33] nucco: checked that...they're not... [11:33] weird one... [11:33] zmatt: maybe some accessibility feature is enabled causing the confusion? [11:34] francesco_: looks like you gotta check ubuntu forums [11:34] nucco: I did. I did. [11:34] francesco_: poor tweety. lemme see what that troubleshooting page says [11:35] I've also typed aplay -l and to see if Ubuntu recognizes the soundcard, and it does. [11:36] francesco_: a shot in the dark, but do "sudo modprobe emu10k1" in a terminal... i assume emu10k1 is the driver name. [11:36] nucco: It is. [11:37] francesco_: for those intel cards I was telling you about, sometimes the sound fails to work after resuming from hibernate... [11:37] nucco: What do you mean? [11:38] francesco_: i mean you should attempt a reboot :) [11:38] I did. [11:38] nucco: Reboot or reinstall? [11:39] Hello everyone [11:39] hi, I want to add a keyboard shortcut to change keyboard mapping. What do I do ? I am using xubuntu [11:39] nucco: Is it possible that a virus damaged emu10k1? [11:39] francesco_: just try a livecd, if it works, then you know its just a misconfiguration somewhere. no need to reinstall just yet. i'm sure you'll find help from someone in here [11:39] * N3bunel saluta [11:39] I have a problem with my sound card on my laptop. lspci gives me one, put aplay -l says "No sound card found" [11:40] francesco_, I doubt it [11:40] francesco_: possible, but very improbable :) [11:40] lspci line : 00:07.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[11:40] technically yes, but logically no, hehe [11:40] MindSpark: you have to look into xmodmap [11:40] GlenQuagmire, thanks [11:40] nucco: MindSpark: Thank you for now. I´ll try so. [11:41] np [11:41] Can someone help me :( ? [11:41] blue112, maybe you need to configure aplay ? [11:41] Why does Ubuntu provide so many different versions of DEB program packages of the Berkeley database, for example lbdb3 = 'Berkeley v3 Database Libraries', libdb4.2, libdb4.3 etc?

As it is right now i'm beeing prompted for which desktop manager i want when i install KDM. [11:45] MindScape, do you know how can I fix my sound problem ? [11:45] people, where can I get cedega? [11:45] sami, get kubuntu [11:45] Draenom, www.justfuckinggoogleit.com [11:46] MindSpark i found the official site but they ask for money there [11:46] that really sux [11:46] MindSpark, you obviesly don't understand my question. [11:46] Draenom, wine-hq.org [11:47] Draenom: cedega is a pay for application [11:47] but it's not that much [11:47] sami, yes obviously, would you maybe try to rephrase ? [11:47] Draenom, cedega is for money when you want support to compile it [11:47] and if i don`t? [11:48] Draenom, then you go through the entire process yourself. I am not sure if that's still the policy though [11:48] I have an preseeded install for an unattended install. I need kdm to work with AD interaction and need KDM to be installed w/o any questions. [11:49] MindSpark will i be able to play CS through wine? [11:49] Draenom, I don't know. Never tried that, but you can give it a shot I guess [11:49] sami, you only have to install KDE once, what would be the problem to go through the installation steps ? [11:50] KDM not KDE [11:50] lskdfjsdf [11:50] hey, i have a python script that performs some ifconfig operations which you need to be a super user. These scripts happen at boot in ~/.xinitrc which is linked to ~/.xsession [11:50] Draenom, yes, that's works [11:50] I don't want KDE [11:50] ah - i am in ;-) [11:50] I have a problem where the script fails because it isn't a super user [11:50] blue112 is it hard to configure it all? [11:51] When i have GDM and try to install KDM i get a question shellwise which DM i want to use. I want to skip that question telling it to only choose KDM automaticlly [11:51] sami, oh, sorry, my bad. Concentration problems this morning. [11:51] Draenom, no, just go appdb.wine-hq.org, search counter strike [11:52] and there should be a nice howto :) [11:52] nucco: I'm back. It is a misconfiguration problem. The audio with the live cd worked. [11:52] ... [11:52] MindSpark, no, problems [11:52] * nucco scratches head [11:52] gotta go... [11:52] sami, did you have a look at /etc/xorg ? [11:53] francesco_: do you recall doing anything that could have caused it? [11:53] blue112 ok thanks bbut its winehq not wine-hq === RT is now known as Randomtime [11:53] sami, that would be /etc/X11 on some machines [11:53] nucco: I've downloaded files using aMule. :D [11:53] Using dual screens both with seperate x sessions, is it possible to send programs between screens, and how? [11:53] MindSpark, That still not the same thing :). [11:53] francesco_: ROTFLOL [11:53] It's an apt question.. [11:54] Can i for example pipe a answer to apt. [11:54] .seen me [11:54] chimp: sounds a bit tricky since theyre separate x sessions [11:54] francesco_: not sure which way to lead you. are you by chance inside #alsa ? [11:54] * nucco guesses that a channel called #alsa exists :) [11:54] is it possible to use my linksys AP as my wireless router? [11:55] Can someone help me to make work my sound ? [11:55] damo23: The only reason i have seperate x sessions is that i dont like that it stretches the screen on the twin view thing [11:55] nucco: No. But it seems that alsamixer works. I can regulate the sliders, and Ubuntu recognizes the soundcard. It just doesn't work. [11:55] join #alsa [11:55] Sorry. [11:55] how do I create a shortcut of a ntfs partition folder on gnome desktop? [11:55] is it possible to have both screens able to work on one session, and allow one screen to then go onto another workspace? [11:55] sami, what do you mean exactly? [11:55] hello... just want to know, there is a way to run a graphic program in spesific user logged ini. Example: I connect to my client with ssh, and i Run mozilla firefox http://www.detik.com like that... any clue?? thanx? [11:55] is there a way to make rhythmbox to play more random? I start it with shuffle but its seems like it plays the same songs over and over again would think with over 600 songs it would take a little longer before it plays the same ones again [11:55] chimp: i successfully did that using xfce [11:55] chimp: it's possible, multiple screens requires hacking your xorg.conf, it's fiddly [11:56] i just install miro and i dont see it on my application>internet section [11:56] francesco_: yeah, i've seen that kind of behaviour before, but in my case, it was because alsa didn't properly support the card. which isn't the issue in this case. [11:56] damo23: what is an x session? [11:56] how can I make it a icon shortcut so i wont have to type in every time in the terminal or Alt+F2 [11:56] unop_, When i'm apt-getting kdm i get an ncurses gui that wants me to choose GDM or KDM. I don't want that gui i just want it to automaticlly choose kdm over gdm. no questions asked === solid_liq is now known as solid_li` [11:57] JPSman: its the graphical interface you use instead of typing at a terminal [11:57] nucco: What does it mean?

I don't know what a subdevice is, but could that be the problem?

Because the default answer would be GDM and i want it to change to kdm [12:00] nucco: To go back to Windows XP is very sad. :D [12:01] what is the installation script called that is run after apt-get downloads packages ? [12:01] Fragzoo: heh would you know my username and password by chance? [12:01] sami, if you have the GDM already (or KDE for that matter) and you install another DM (whether directly or through another package) .. it is quite logical to be asked whether you want the new DM to take over so as to avoid some nasty surprises (this isn't an example of where things can go very wrong, but there are instances where you must tell the installer just what to do) [12:01] francesco_: i feel confident that it would work in 8.04 though. i'm certain i read somewhere that the problem was fixed in a newer version of alsa, but i never bother to hand-compile my software :) [12:02] JPSman: admin pw admin [12:02] s/KDE/KDM/ [12:02] damo23: nope not letting me in [12:02] unop_, I guess i will just have to prompt the user for an answer and tell them what to choose [12:02] sami, setting the debconf priority to high ensures that you are only asked questions that are critical (and need some input from you) === manado_ is now known as NavHieLa [12:02] nucco: It's strange that it stopped working suddenly. [12:02] JPSman: username: admin pw: password [12:03] damo23: nope. I even tried WRT54G as the username [12:04] JPSman: google it [12:04] does anyone know how to setup wireshark [12:04] JPSman: default password [12:04] francesco_: did you try the section on loading a working configuration? [12:04] sami, if you dont want the user to be prompted (i.e. you know exactly what you are doing) you can always modify the package's postinst script to reflect those changes and create a modified package [12:05] the default JPSman is admin admin [12:05] unop, Yes i'm about to do that. But do you know which file that it altered when the question it popped. [12:05] nucco: What section? If Ubuntu recognizes the soundcard it's useless to reinstall the driver, right? [12:05] hello [12:05] someone use ipv6? [12:05] jaffarkelshac: sudo apt-get install wireshark - done is done [12:06] i diden think thay used v6 yet [12:06] JPSman: reset the router to defaults by pressing the reset button, then the default user/pw admin admin should work [12:06] i know how to install, i mean how to confiugure under interface i put eth0 but does not work [12:06] francesco_: yes (with some reservations). [12:06] francesco_: Loading a working sound configuration [12:06] francesco_: at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [12:06] nucco: I've tried "Getting the ALSA drivers from a *fresh* kernel". [12:07] sami, depends on the preinst and postinst scripts .. they should exist in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ [12:07] francesco_: What problem are you having? [12:07] francesco_: that's quite a leap :) if it doesn't work on and off randomly, then you don [12:07] Stormx2: I can't hear any sound. [12:07] unop, What i can do is that i add a pipe to apt-get install kdm < whatever and let it choose by default and add a script to change run level after isntalle. [12:07] francesco_: sorry (pushed enter by accident.) you don't need to do that. [12:07] install* [12:07] francesco_: Could you do a uname -r ? [12:07] tell me what you get. [12:08] Stormx2: What is an uname -r? [12:08] francesco_: run that in a terminal [12:08] It's a command. open up a terminal. === bob__ is now known as CheckLot [12:08] write that in, hit enter. [12:08] 2.6.22-14-generic [12:09] Okay. Nevermind [12:09] sami, errm, i'm not sure that will work because what happens in an instance like this echo answer | apt-get install kdebase kde4foo kde4bar kde4baz kdm . which package does 'answer' pertain to? :) === _NiC_ is now known as _NiC [12:09] I had my suspcisions it might be a-386 kernel screwing things up. [12:09] Is that the version of my Ubuntu? [12:09] It's your kernel version [12:09] francesco_: i gotta go. hope Stormx2 is able to help you more than i did. cheers. [12:09] which is the most basic part of ubuntu on which everything is built. [12:10] nucco: Stormx2: The "problem" is that I can hear the audio from le live cd. [12:10] But not from your install? Hmm. [12:10] unop, i could have it to preinstall kde-base and all the deps first and add kdm at the last point [12:10] Stormx2: Yes. [12:10] Stormx2: It started suddenly. === luigi_ is now known as Luigix [12:10] sami, i'm sure apt-get is not built that way [12:11] francesco_, did it start while you had ubuntu loaded up, or did you reboot and it stopped working? [12:11] unop, I tired it on a test VM and it seemd to work. [12:11] I think it was loaded up. I left the PC downloading stuff from the internet. === Toznoshio_ is now known as Toznoshio [12:12] When I tried to open a mpg file using Totem it stopped working. [12:13] Okay [12:13] How can I now what is my processor in a terminal ? [12:13] It could be something locking your sound card. [12:13] blue112: cat /proc/cpuinfo [12:13] Typing aplay -l i see a lot of "subdevices", but I don't know what a subdevice is. Could that be the problem? [12:14] francesco_: if you reboot then fire up totem is it ok? [12:14] Stormx2? [12:14] Hey, For this dual screen thing I want atm, Im trying to have it so that both screens operate on the same session, but are free to move onto another workspace without causing the other window to move, im using nvidia-settings does anyone know how to achieve this? [12:14] Even rebooting the system, the problem remains. [12:14] Hm. [12:14] Stormx2, thanks [12:15] francesco_: if you open up a terminal, then use aplay to try and play a file, it should give you an error message. [12:15] Could you do that, and give me the error message? [12:15] Stormx2: How do I play an audio file using aplay? [12:17] Stormx2: It seems to work. No error message. It seems silly. It seems I left the audio mute, but I didn't. [12:17] It says that it's playing? [12:17] Stormx2: Yes. [12:17] Hmm. [12:17] chimp: if you google about, you're bound to find examples [12:17] be right back hopefully [12:18] francesco_, launch gnome-volume-control, either from terminal or Alt + F2 [12:18] What is the best web design application available for ubuntu [12:18] !best | laith [12:18] laith: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [12:18] !html > laith (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [12:18] laith: nano, emacs, vim, gedit, kedit, etc. [12:18] Laith: You might want to look at bluefish. [12:18] Stormx2: Ok. [12:19] Frogzoo: I'm trying to google for it, problem is most of the setups are either a seperate x-session, or the screen is expanded [12:19] francesco_: Then go to edit > preferences. Select anything that you think might have to do with audio output, including PCM [12:19] Make sure they're unmuted. [12:19] chimp you want twinhead or xinerama? [12:19] francesco_, have you ruled out a hardware problem, yeah? Your speakers are powered up, and all the cables are properly in? [12:19] sami, have a look at pre-seeding .. http://users.telenet.be/mydotcom/howto/linux/automatic.htm [12:20] Stormx2: Of course. I told you that from the Live CD it works. [12:20] francesco_, okay, good point [12:20] unop, My preseed works just fine :) [12:20] Well do as I said there, make sure stuff isn't muted.

[12:33] ikonia, sure it's not Ctrl + Alt + F1 etc? [12:33] threefcata: alt+3 or whatever number window you want, or ctrl-n or ctrl-p to move left or right windows.. also alt-left alt-right [12:34] Or is it different for the alternate installer? [12:34] jk_: has your ISP given you a static IP, is the static IP issued via dhcp [12:34] ActionParsnip: i am using the very same alternate CD image burned 4X [12:34] Stormx2: %100 [12:34] ikonia: Why is it different?

[12:35] hello, every morning when I turn my computer on, I see some *intense* disk activity after logging into the system for what it seems to be 5 mins or so. I think it's the search facility indexing (trackerd?), how can I turn this off? [12:35] threefcata: I actually dont know, I dont use split-windows on irssi. [12:35] now it says type helo for a list of built in commands and with this sign ~ # [12:35] Pici: ok thx [12:36] wildman: what makes you think it's the disk [12:36] wildman: the searching function sorry [12:36] ikonia, hi,there [12:36] Yahuuu: ok, so open in any editor /var/log/messages and see what it's doing [12:36] ikonia, :) I'm just guessing...

[12:36] ikonia: no keyboad input yer [12:36] icesword: hello [12:36] hey john [12:36] hello jhon [12:36] wildman: need more info than random guesses [12:36] john: 'lo [12:36] ikonia, I cannot think of any other thing accessing the disk in such an intense way [12:36] hey guys was wondering if anyone can help me with my pda [12:36] its a little old an HP Jornada 540 [12:36] what help do you need [12:36] ikonia: how to open it, i am a window user new to linux [12:36] wildman: Is there a magnifying glass in your notification area? [12:36] wildman: log files being rotated, raid volumes etc ? [12:37] ikonia, I'm actually clueless, I'd appreciate if you can guide me on what I can do to get "more info" [12:37] Yahuuu: just do less /var/log/messages [12:37] ikonia, single disk, big partition, no RAID [12:37] wildman: does the disk being used affect any of the performance [12:37] in irssi when i /window show 2 in the current window it says 'you can't show sticky window (use blahblah)'why? [12:37] ikonia, if this system takes so long to rotate a log (does log rotate happen every day?), I'd rather switch OS :) [12:37] <|Porsche> anyone familiar with cairo-dock? [12:37] ikonia, yes it does [12:37] i basically bought it to read ebooks (was cheap), when I plug in the cables nothing comes up in ubuntu. If I do lsusb I can see: Hewlett-Packard Jornada 548 / iPAQ HW6515 Pocket PC [12:37] Stormx2, no, there's not [12:37] any thoughts? [12:38] ikonia: it says ( -sh: /var/log/messages: not found [12:38] waht do i have to do in menu.lst to chage the default booting os? [12:38] john, let me google a lil [12:38] thanks [12:38] Yahuuu: ahhh your in the miniroot, let me try to remember whent he setup log is === Toznoshio_ is now known as Toznoshio [12:38] ikonia, FYI: Core2Duo E6750 CPU, Intel DP35DP mobo, 4GB DDR2800 RAM, 500GB SATA2 disk [12:38] i tried but couldn't find much [12:38] fx|RabBit: default 0 should be default $n where n is your OS boot option number [12:38] ikonia, I don't consider my machine 'slow' at all, I mean, hardware-wise at least [12:38] wildman: /etc/logrotate.conf [12:39] john, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30936 [12:39] is it possible that I could have a different wallpaper for each work station? [12:39] wildman: no, it certainly isn't, and I was only using log rotation as an easy example [12:39] ricanelite: for each work station? sure [12:39] please remember ikonia [12:39] wildman: Run "tracker-preferences". There's an option under there to disable indexing [12:39] it has a 1gb compact flash card, and if I can get this to be read that would be enough I guess [12:39] Frogzoo, how? [12:39] wildman, does your core 2 has ht? [12:39] Frogzoo, it rotates weekly, so that's not the culprit [12:39] but it doesn't show up in fdisk -l [12:39] besides i am tring to install ubuntu on seperate HDD, and its slave drive, is this the problem ? [12:39] Yahuuu: while I'm having a quick google, hav eyou tried the graphical installer ? [12:39] thanks ActionParsnip will try it out [12:39] Stormx2, thx, I'll check right now... [12:39] ikonia: ok but what i dont understand then, atm something is booting per defaultwich should be 1 not 0 [12:39] john, try googling for ubuntu ipaq [12:39] Yahuuu: shouldn't make a difference what disk [12:40] john, seeems to give some decent results [12:40] fx|RabBit: how many OS's do you have on the box ? [12:40] action, thanks will look into it [12:40] ikonia: i triend graphical installer, no luck there as well :) [12:40] ikonia: 2 [12:40] windos and linux [12:40] fx|RabBit: ubuntu and windows yes ? [12:40] Stormx2, I see "Activar vigilancia" too (hum... Activate 'Surveillance'), should I also disable that one? [12:40] Yahuuu: What problem did you have? [12:40] i am waiting for u ikonia: thanks dear [12:40] yes [12:40] Yahuuu: just looking [12:40] ok [12:40] wildman: I suppose so [12:40] Stormx2, thx [12:41] ikonia: yes [12:41] fx|RabBit: ok, so in your /boot/menu.lst you will see boot options, eg: ubuntu 7.10, Windows XP etc [12:41] Stormx2, I'll know the next time I turn my computer on, aka tomorrow :) [12:41] ikonia: yepp [12:41] Stormx2: as ikonia said i am facing miniroot problem, i am not able to install ubuntu from live cd as well as alternate cD [12:41] wildman, righto ^_^ [12:41] <|Porsche> how can i add the ubunut menu to cairo-dock? [12:41] Frogzoo, is it called wallpapoz? [12:41] ikonia: win starts from hd0 and linux from hd2 [12:41] fx|RabBit: ok, the firt one in the list is "0", count down until the one you want to be default, eg: 0 ubuntu, 1 ubuntu recovery mode 2 windows XP [12:42] fx|RabBit: it doesn't matter what disks they are on [12:42] ikonia: ah! i see [12:42] Yahuuu, do you receive an error in the desktop CD? [12:42] freesbie, http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/specifications.htm?iid=prod_core2duo+tab_spec [12:42] ikonia: kk i gotcha now, thx m8:= [12:42] fx|RabBit: cool [12:42] ricanelite: system -> prefs -> appearance -> wallpaper [12:42] freesbie, it doesn't speak about HT, I guess dual core (and core duo) superceeded HT === A[D]minS^AwaY is now known as A[D]minS [12:42] Stormx2: no error but dont get me to X desktop [12:43] Yahuuu: So what's the problem? [12:43] anyway, Stormx2 made me disable my principal suspect already (thanks!) I'll know tomorrow [12:43] Stormx2, ikonia: thanks! [12:43] yeah i know that. What I meant is for example I have 4 different work stations. When I go into cube mode and rotate to another Workstation can I have another Wallpaper there [12:43] <|Porsche> how can i add the ubunut menu to cairo-dock? [12:44] is wallpapoz still maintained? [12:44] Stormx2: besides showing me a X desktop ubuntu show me a black screen when trying to install from live cd, and it took hours andnothing happen [12:44] hello [12:44] hey, sorry to ask again, i sort of have what i want using xinerama, but the extra screen it gives, doesnt show any of the panels which is what i want, any idea how to do this? [12:44] bazhang thats debatable, I think not [12:44] cheers ikonia [12:44] chimp: you've got it set in 1 desktop mode [12:44] Yahuuu: if none of the CDs have defects, I suggest you do some google searching for your hardware's linux compatibility. [12:45] ikonia: err what does that mean? [12:45] chimp xinearama lets you use 2 monitors, each monitor is an X server, you can either have one desktop sharing 2 xservers, two desktops, one in each X server [12:46] Yahuuu, other things to do: Make sure your partition table is fine on your disks (cfdisk usually helps with this), make sure you haven't got some weird custom mobo settings, make sure your CPU isn't clocking something it shouldn't be, etc etc. [12:46] Yahuuu: Have you tried something like Xubuntu, see if that works [12:46] Yeah, but with having two desktops (which ive tried) i saw no way for each desktop to interact with each other [12:46] chimp: TwinView is what I use for nvidia [12:46] with 1 desktop, i can drag over to the other screen, but then it lacks all the desktop capabilities [12:46] Stormx2: 1 week ago, i was using ubuntu on the same machine and it was perfectly running, after updating some updates on the internet , when i restart my pc, ubuntu stop to load, and i am a new user i cant make it boot, so i format the HDD and want to install a fresh ubuntu, now i cant install it :( [12:47] With twinview it stretches the desktop across both screens, and since one screen is a lower res, it looks horrible [12:47] You formatted the disk? [12:47] To what? [12:47] ikonia: With two desktops is there any way to allow them to interact? [12:47] With what? [12:47] cya later ppl, have a nice one! [12:48] Hello. How to add another repo to get the package courier-authlib-mysql ? [12:48] chimp: yeah that makes sense... I have two identical monitors. No you've got 2 X session with Xin so there's no scope to have them interact properly [12:48] FAT32 === jamesgc_ is now known as jamesgc [12:48] Yahuuu: fat32?

[12:48] no wonder [12:48] bazhang, dude [12:49] What did you use to format it? Some boot disklette? [12:49] Stormx2: i dont know how to boot it :( and that was my mistake [12:49] Is there any way to set up twinview so that it doesnt stretch the panels, but instead has a full panel on both screen? [12:49] icesword: yes? [12:49] bazhang: FAT32 itself won't screw up the ubuntu installer. I suspect the actual formatter screwed up his partition table. [12:49] Stormx2: i dont know a single work abt ubuntu, i am a window user i was scared and format it : [12:49] Stormx2: agreed [12:49] So what did you use? [12:49] bazhang, sort of curious why you not join #ubuntu-tw [12:50] How did you format it? Under windows? Using another CD? A diskette? What? [12:50] Yahuuu: what did you use to format it [12:50] i use the disk with windowsXP as a slave disk and format it under windows fat32 [12:50] i am trying to get ntfs to mount on start up, what file type should i write in the fstab. should it be ntfs or fuseblk [12:50] bazhang: windows formater [12:50] jk_: ntfs [12:51] chimp: oh my panels only take up one screen each (no stretching). I had to go a long way around though: setup twinview. move your panels to the side of the screen (vertically). Restart X by logging out and in again. Move your panels to the bottom and they should only take up one screen each [12:51] hi everybody [12:51] Hi, anyone aware of any decent drug and/or patient management systems? [12:51] bazhang, I usually do a "write" under CFDisk to fix partition table woes, unless you have a better idea to help Yahuuu? [12:51] hmm ill try that oli [12:51] k [12:51] looking for a deb package: network-manager-gnome -> is there a way to dl it from the web? via ftp or http, can't use aptitude at the moment.... [12:51] Stormx2: the question is can he understand that--good idea, but not sure if he can follow [12:52] Stormx2 and bazhang: it seems i have problem in my HDD boot sector?? [12:52] Ziroday: you should be able to get anything up with a custom kernel, running xen and your favorite os :D [12:52] Yahuuu: sounds like Stormx2 has it solved [12:52] Yahuuu, well, partition table, it's pretty closely linked. [12:52] elementz: packages.ubuntu.com [12:52] bazhang, okay, do you have access to the machine right now? [12:52] Another quick question, sometimes when i restart x using ctrl-alt-backspace, after i log back in, it just stops straight away on a blank screen, i can restartx again, but it will still freeze each time i login until i reboot, any ideas? [12:53] so, whicn software to use to format it again as u guys suggests? [12:53] dru: I am talking about specific ready made software to be used in a hospital [12:53] Yahuuu, listen, it doesn't need formatting before an ubuntu install. The ubuntu installer partitions and formats anyway. [12:53] Stormx2: to Yahuuu's machine? not atm ;] [12:53] It certainly doesn't need to be formatted to FAT [12:53] bazhang, bah! [12:53] Yahuuu, okay, do you have access to the machine right now? [12:54] Stormx2 : :( please figure it out what to do now [12:54] jussio1: thx [12:54] yes infrot of me [12:54] Zeroday: do you have an exsample please?

I am trying to setup devilspie to automatically locate a couple of windows for me but I can't work out how to get the current demensions and postion so I can put in the config [14:09] conartist: lspci lists details regarding your hardware, then grep picks out any line of the output with "Audio" in it. [14:09] hmmm bazhang that might work i guess... [14:09] ooohhh...cool [14:09] bazhang, actually... what about /etc/resolv.conf for example ? [14:10] so...what should i do next? [14:10] i would be copying this.. right bazhang ? [14:10] differentreality: what have you tried so far?

[14:14] differentreality: I know what will work with my system; but your system is another matter as you have done very different things most likely--thus my suggestions [14:14] i told you, my alsa mixer runs correctly.. [14:14] bazhang, well.. that's not it... it's just obvious that installing the packages withouth using the internet wont give me the configuration i need ... so i see no reason to do it at the moment [14:14] and all the mixers are up [14:14] my audio driver i ve installed it [14:14] PaRaSiTe2: I'd recommend 32 bit for compatibility reasons [14:15] bazhang. can you help? Do you know the two lines of code to mount my windows partition, from my live cd? [14:15] from the realtek site [14:15] and did rebooting [14:15] but i still get this problem [14:15] plurt i am actually after the particular location and size of a window on my desktop so i can configure devilspie [14:15] bazhang, i think i most likely need sth like zipping my whole partition with the filesystem rather than just the /home :p [14:15] i posted on ubuntu forums [14:15] adrock358: what are you trying to do and what have you done so far [14:15] nobody gave me nothing [14:15] conartist: well its NOT instant.

Well, I need to mount my windows partition from the ubuntu live cd.

[14:21] bazhang. basically, there is one file on windows that i need to get my windows working again. so, if i mount it, i'm golden. and the reason why i am on live cd, is that my internet, in ubuntu, only works from the live cd.

It should prompt you for a [Y/n] check box if you want to remove deps or now. [15:17] And if you added the --purge it removes configs which it's looks like.

[16:16] !swap | Adrian_Strays [16:16] Adrian_Strays: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster.

I copied the original partition (which was extended) over to a new primary partition, deleted the original, and expanded the primary. That first partition I deleted is still showing up in the computer, but not on teh partition editor. Also, is it a problem that swap comes before the actual linux partition [16:38] damn this is crazy I'm on my iPhone right now [16:38] Adrian_Strays: The placement of swap partition should not matter [16:38] my feisty server went offline on sunday at 7 am and i did not find out about it until 9 am this morning.

[16:39] Frozenball: no, i need 24-7 monitoring [16:39] bazhang, emulator would be the one which works for all the computers not architecture specific... [16:40] arvind_khadri: link to this emulator pack please [16:40] dbrewer_rjr, You could always put it into cron or create simple while-loop [16:40] bazhang, i had ordered for the cd's [16:40] Adrian_Strays: I suspect in this case the current partition table is not being loaded. [16:40] does anyone know where i can get a burn application that will allow me to burn video files like .avi and .mpg to cd [16:41] genii, how do we change that....? [16:41] bazhang, shall i upgrade the distro??

Then in Terminal: sudo fdisk then only: w [16:41] bazhang, and yeah i find the x86_64 version unstable than the i386 ones [16:41] how i configure pidgin for yahoo messanger [16:42] No I forget: how to echo to stderr? [16:42] dbrewer_rjr, I wouldn't consider few lines of code as a "reinventing the wheel" [16:42] http://pastebin.com/m1ed8b8f2 [16:42] genii, so I entered sudo fdisk w [16:43] That's the error I get when I do "sudo make" when trying to install ndiswrapper.

[16:43] arvind_khadri: not sure why you use the 64 bit; it is a lot of work and unless you have a huge amount of ram not really worth it--I have a 64 bit machine and the 32bit ubuntu runs great and is very easy to configure, both this release (gutsy) and the next (hardy) [16:43] i'm trying to uninstall compiz using synaptic package manager and i want to know if it's safe to remove completely all those packages that comes out after i search for compiz.

[16:55] Adrian_Strays: If the partition has a lock on it in gparted then you cannot currently resize it. [16:55] command to extract [16:55] genii, okay [16:55] genii, so what do we do now? [16:56] genii, a partition "disk" shows up on the desktop now, which I don't recall it doing before [16:57] Adrian_Strays: Does command: mount | grep sda2 show now sda2 as being mounted someplace? === FFEMTcJ_ is now known as FFEMTcJ [16:58] Yes [16:58] Genii, yes on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev) [16:59] gooody:as long as you dont remove you vid card drivers any compiz files should be ok [16:59] azuki: compiz, compizconfig-settings-manager, compiz-core, compiz-fusion-plugins-extra, compiz-fusion-plugins-main, compiz-plugins, libcompizconfig0, libcompizconfig-backend-gconf, libdecoration0 and python-compizconfig. i just want to remove it because my pc is not capable of desktop effects.

[17:03] genii, the only alterations need to take place under "end default options" right? Or are there other places that need to be changed? [17:04] moos3: channel #git might be better [17:05] rwycuff: i don't have graphics card installed on it. [17:05] how can i suspend my system from the command prompt? suspending with X running crashes the system probably due to the proprietary nvidia drivers, so i want to try from the CLI [17:05] gooody:well that would qualify why it wont work [17:05] Adrian_Strays: There are normally 2 entries, one for regular kernel and one for "Safe", change both [17:06] Recovery rather [17:06] Hello, all morning, does anyknow knows how to change the ident on irssi??

[17:07] Adrian_Strays: Wait a moment [17:07] genii, okay [17:08] rwycuff: are those packages safe to remove? [17:08] Adrian_Strays: Since you moved the partition there may also be other inaccuracies which will prevent booting [17:08] goody:if yuo are not using eye candy or compiz then yes any thing with compiz is ok [17:08] genii, alright, whats next? [17:08] gooody: check also with #compiz [17:08] TomC, are u still there, did it work [17:08] i've installed ubuntu 7.10 [17:08] in my pc [17:08] does anyone know why my firefox icon doesn't change with the rest of the icons (when I change the icon set)?

[17:09] stays on a black screen [17:09] thanks to you guys. [17:09] oh, ok [17:09] Adrian_Strays: 2 things mainly: in kernel lines of menu.lst, if root= that needs to be changed. Also in the old /etc/fstab the mount lines need to be changed to reflect new location of the / [17:09] gaes_, did it boot onto the live cd? [17:09] yeah [17:09] pierres_, perhaps there is no replacement icon for firefox included in the new set [17:10] so you installed it from the live cd and after rebooting only a black screen appears? [17:10] Survivorman: there is, though :( [17:10] i hav installed ubuntu 7.10 on my pc, but when i iniciate without the cd, stays in a black screeb [17:10] yeah [17:10] fevel, yeah [17:10] gooody: #compiz is specially for compiz related questions, I wouldn't see the harm in marking compiz-core for removal, but I never did :)... I don't expect any problems with it tho... but to make sure check in #compiz :) [17:10] something messed up with my locales badly, is there away to revert back somehow? tried with sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales but that didnt do much.. [17:10] gaes_, first things first ...are you sure you installed it correctly? does grub appear? [17:10] yeah [17:11] i hav selected entire hard disk [17:11] ola [17:11] Hello, all morning, does anyknow knows how to change the ident on irssi??

[17:11] fevel, yes [17:11] thanks Survivorman, i appreciate it [17:11] Adrian_Strays: So to find UUID of sda2, to use: blkid /dev/sda2 and use the UUID given between quotes there to replace old UUID in the menu.lst file [17:11] genii, the only entry I saw that looked like it needed to be changed was under the grub root device, and I just fixed that. None of the other lines seem to involve the hd0,3 change [17:12] hi [17:12] pierres_, backup the default.xpm (I think) and cp the new one to that folder. that would work. [17:12] and when you choose the right kernel it gives you a black screen? Or only after the boot process? [17:12] alright, i'll try that out [17:12] can anybody here help me with creating a partition? [17:12] Sargaroth, what do you need? [17:12] can i install office2003 with ubuntu ?

I have two Dell 22" monitors (1680x1050). I have one display working using the radeonhd driver. What can I do to get the second display going? Currently I have a cloned display on the second monitor. [17:46] the switch works for the blue tooth adapter and not the wireless how do i change this [17:46] jrib yea, well i set it in xorg, it works fine for login, as soon as i login i get switched to qwerty :( [17:46] Hi Im looking for a way to autostart irexec at startup may someone tell me a good way to do this?

Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [17:47] cvd-pr: more detailed info can be found in system>administration>screens and grafics [17:47] already did that, but it's not working [17:47] jrib but thats not an ideal solution, can't type a command every time i boot :( [17:47] genii, thats what I did, and then I searched the menu.lst for hd0,2 which didn't find anything. [17:48] darko did you adjust the size of your horizontal/vertical desktop? [17:48] azuki, yesh its all right, but my question is my i can choose from 60-80 refresh rate? [17:48] what is beter i higher or lower rate? [17:49] Higher. [17:49] cvd-pr: It depends what you prefer to look at. [17:49] no i didn't adjust it, how?, thanks ubotu i'll check it out [17:49] cvd-pr: that is video-card related, better video cards can display higher resolutions in higher HZ's [17:49] hey does anybody know how i make my jack-out work on my labtop with gutsy? [17:49] genii, ? [17:49] Good evening - could someone tell me what exactly I'd need to install to run Java programmes? I've found references to 'OpenJDK', IcedTea and the Sun Java JRE... Which would be the best thing to install (I'm not even sure if they'd all do the same thing to begin with. [17:50] cvd-pr: if you have the proper video card drivers and set to the right monitor, the possible HZ's should be displayed in the dropdown menu [17:50] hi... How much time "on an average" the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda will need to run on a 80GB HDD?

[17:50] genii, yes [17:51] Adrian_Strays: OK, do you see again on the desktop: Disk ? [17:51] genii, No [17:51] hey [17:51] genii, [17:51] Or wait [17:51] Draggin: icedtea should do the trick [17:51] is anyone else having issues getting their computer to hibernate? [17:51] Genii, well originally when it booted I did not, but I mounted it manually [17:51] how does one undo a symlink from the command line? [17:52] fbc: rm the symlink [17:52] has anyone found a permanent fix for hibernate? [17:52] azuki - are they all just different implementations of the same thing? Because I almost feel 'safer' using a Sun thing, since they made it to begin with [17:52] hi... How much time "on an average" the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda will need to run on a 80GB HDD? [17:52] Adrian_Strays: OK. Where is it mounted? (what directory) [17:52] has anyone found a permanent fix for hibernate? [17:52] draggin: you would have to check the documentation for specifics on that... I use icedtea to load .jar.. and it works fine [17:52] stephan_ hibernate is working fine [17:52] CShadowRun: that's what I meant :) Well, colemak is available by default on hardy. You can use some kludge until then (having the command run every time you login). Or you could just wait for hardy. Or you could take a look at the hardy packages and see how they enable colemak there. I don't know the details of what's going on [17:53] stephan_ it depends on your hardware.. [17:53] azuki, thanks. I'll give it a shot then :) [17:53] genii, same one I believe, how can I double check? [17:53] jrib i said it was custom [17:53] custom custom custom custom custom custom custom [17:53] Stroganoff, it tells me it's not a file, but a directory.. rmdir tells me it's not empty, and I'm afraid of deleting the contents for fear of deleting the actual files in the linked directory... [17:53] it hibernates fine in XP, when hibernating in ubuntu it sgoes blank then sends me to a login screen [17:53] lol [17:53] Adrian_Strays: To check,from Terminal: mount | grep sda2 [17:53] colemak-US doesn't work on english keyboards, it has to be modified significantly. [17:53] Anyone here knows if the wine ubtunturepos is down? [17:53] CShadowRun: k, then see how hardy enables colemak and modify that [17:54] stephan_: i mean it depends on the DRIVERS of the hardware [17:54] lol [17:54] i see that Gnome 2.22 is out. Currently right now I'm running Gusty 7.10 the only way I will be able to upgrade to the new version of Gnome is when Hardy is released? [17:54] Genii, same as last time [17:54] oh ok, im running the drivers provided by restricted drivers [17:54] hello [17:54] I'm having trouble with my broadcom 43 wireless driver in Hardy Heron [17:54] stephan_: have you googled ubuntu + hibernate + your graphics card?

But when I run configure, I get "configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub". How should I fix that? I am in Ubuntu Edgy [17:58] Adrian_Strays: Yes [17:58] Adrian_Strays: (assuming you've saved the changes) [17:58] !backup [17:58] 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 [18:00] when port forwarding, does any request and packet relayed by the router from the internet to the local machine LOOK like it's coming from the router only ? in other words, can I just open my iptables to my router's internal ip and thus be able to get all forwarded packets? [18:01] genii, it worked! Thank you so much! [18:01] Is there any backup solution that will recover a system from a failed dist upgrade? IE something that takes an image snapshot of the machine that can be fully restored if the upgrade goes south? [18:02] Viden, to my knowlede, Acronis does this pretty well [18:02] Viden: but it`s not free :S [18:02] Adrian_Strays: You're welcome [18:02] Lake: we actually own acronis server, but i am thinking it does not work with Linux. I will check it out. Thank you for making me remember we had it [18:03] Viden: I tried it with an old 6.06 installation of mine and worked just fine [18:04] kk thanks [18:04] Viden: if Acronis Disk Image doesn't work, you can probably try Disk Director and just back up the entire hard drive/partition [18:04] hey guys, I used gparted to resize my swap partition from 1GB to 4GB, but "swapon -s" still reports it's 1GB (so does gnome-system-monitor). what should I do?

[18:06] hi. when i do lsusb i can see that my web cam is detected.how can i make it work in skype? skype doesnt recognise it [18:06] Viden: if you're referring to Ghost as in Norton Ghost, I would think not unless they know make something apart win32 programs [18:06] rsc___: man mkswap [18:06] kk [18:06] thanks again [18:06] Viden: have you looked on sourceforge, maybe you get find something there [18:07] I'm trying to give a user permission via FTP to add/edit/delete files in my web site directory but getting a lot of 550: Permission denied errors.

Can anyone help? [18:17] Steph33560: always check "/topic" when you enter a channel, it gives you an introduction to what's going on, and sometimes the rules [18:18] TomC: gnome is installed by default, what's the problem ? [18:18] Does anybody can tell me if my bluetooth device may be compatible => " Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)" [18:18] !bluetooth [18:18] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [18:18] oui le problème c'est que le disque dur c'est un ntfs [18:18] !fr | timruff [18:18] Steph33560: most will be supported now, but you can check websites like "linux compatible" for specific devices and specific kernel suport [18:18] timruff: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [18:18] Survivorman, I alreadey read this [18:19] Survivorman, no device listed [18:19] I seem to only have command line access ikonia... [18:19] TomC: did you install the server version ? [18:19] yes... [18:19] TomC: why ? use the desktop version if you want gnome [18:19] TomC: the desktop makes an excellent server OS and provides much better support for home hardware [18:20] TomC: it also provides gnome fully intergrated and ready to go [18:20] Steph33560: maybe you should find what chipset your dongle uses [18:20] ok...bad decision...I ultimately want to serve from this machine so that's why I did the server option [18:20] TomC: desktop edition is your best call [18:21] Is there anyway to reduce the CPU utilization of flash content on my Ubuntu? [18:21] from here, should I do a fresh install with the desktop edition til I know more about what I'm doing? [18:21] Lake, howto ? [18:21] polm: not really [18:21] TomC: I agree with ikonia, making a server out oa desktop version is barely two apt-get commands away [18:21] TomC: I'd advice that even if you know what your doing [18:21] ikonia, my device name is "heady" .... nobody knwo this :p [18:21] hi ubuntuers [18:21] Flash drags on my system. Why is 1x 2 Ghz CPU enough for everything I do but flash? [18:21] TomC: it is a great server os and provides full desktop intergration, which is what you want [18:21] Steph33560: I am not sure for bluetooth devices but google your device name and the word chipset [18:21] polm: speak to the guys who write the website [18:22] when i nmap my machine y can see this port open 6001/tcp open X11:1 ; this represent a security proiblem?? [18:22] how do I take a screen shoot on xubuntu?? [18:22] Great...glad to get such decisive advice...I'll download the desktop version and re-install... [18:22] how i close open ports? 21,22,23,80 [18:22] ikonia: I notice it mostly with embedded flash video (like youtube). [18:22] cvd-pr: disable the application listening, or firewall it [18:22] Many thanks ikonia and Lake... [18:22] polm: what version of the flash plugin are you using ? [18:22] TomC: welcome === hwilde_ is now known as hwilde [18:22] thats the problem, how? [18:22] cvd-pr: port 80 = web server, disable apasche [18:23] apache [18:23] ikonia: 9.0 r115 [18:23] cvd-pr: port 21 is ftp [18:23] polm: how did you install it ? [18:23] Lake, google does not find somehting interesting ... :( [18:23] cvd-pr: port 22 is ssh [18:23] cvd-pr: dunno about port 23 [18:23] Lake, still searching but nothing comes [18:23] I got white screen after suspend, is there a way to solve this? [18:23] 23 = telnet [18:23] I still can login by typing pass and press enter [18:23] but it's disturbing to not have a login screen instead of a plain white screen [18:23] Steph33560: okay wait I'll try and make Google talk [18:23] ikonia: can't remember. Either from adobe's site or via apt-get. [18:24] jimcooncat, tell how to close all ports [18:24] arghh! telnet's open! [18:24] anybody know how to catch the ssh password prompt and automatically enter the password from a bash script? [18:24] !firewall | cvd-pr [18:24] cvd-pr: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [18:24] polm: I guess it's just a bit hungry on cpu then [18:24] hwilde: look at ssh-agent [18:24] if this is a file (/var/log/messages): -rw-r----- 1 root adm 18535 2008-04-07 17:16 messages ... that i want to let the user 'chasetoys' write to ....... whats the best way to go about it? [18:24] Hi all. In Gutsy, how can I save a new screen resolution so it becomes the default resolution whenever any user logs in? Tia. [18:24] arooni: chmod it [18:24] will the new ubuntu support the airport cards in the mac pro? [18:25] ikonia: sux cuz it's the only thing pushing me to upgrade my hardware. I thought this ol' AMD 1.7 would be enough for a little while longer. Guess not. [18:25] i know the current version does not support them [18:25] ikonia, to owned by the user? [18:25] cvd-pr: probably sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop [18:25] Idle0ne: didn't see anything in the 2.6.24 update [18:25] cvd-pr: repeat for apache2, telnetd, etc. [18:25] arooni: no - chmod it, not chown it [18:25] camn i close the ports with UFW firewall? [18:25] cvd-pr: you sure can [18:25] :( [18:25] ikonia, to ? [18:25] ikonia, right, ssh keys, but i need to setup like 150 of them and I don't want to type the password over and over [18:25] arooni: group writeable, world writeable ? your call [18:26] Lake, PM ;) [18:26] hwilde: ssh-agent will work from the command line, you can script inputing to it, 1 script deployed 150 times = easy [18:26] Steph33560: i am pretty sure CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) is the chipset itself [18:26] Howdy. I'm using Gutsy at the moment. Just wondering if anyone else experiences Rythmbox lockups when they use multimedia keys. Because it's rather annoying me and I would like to know if there is a way to fix this. [18:26] cvd-pr: you can firewall them off, but you could turn off or configure your servers correctly [18:26] ufw deny 23? [18:26] Lake, I'm pretty sure too, and for information it works on Win32 with bluesoleil generic software [18:26] how can i install software on ubuntu??? [18:27] Steph33560: windows drives have no relevance [18:27] zubair: use synaptic pakcage manager [18:27] ZeroWing: use Amarok instead : [18:27] zubair: package manager [18:27] CLI?? [18:27] zubair: Applications -> Add/Remove [18:27] zubair: apt [18:27] Steph33560: I also found this apparently outdated lists that mentions CST as a manufacturer http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/features.html [18:27] somebody could help me with citrix? [18:27] zubair: apt-get [18:27] Jorg1: cirtix is windows isn't it ? [18:27] Steph33560: list was linked from an ubuntu forum discussion [18:27] Azuki: Hahaha. I'm not a fan of Amarok. I've used it before, and I just don't like it. [18:27] thanks [18:27] Jorg1: as in metaframe [18:27] nah, aptitude [18:27] yes, it is [18:27] Jorg1: so how does that relate to ubuntu ? [18:28] how can i reboot my server ('reboot' seems to shut down but not cause it to automatically come back up) [18:28] Steph33560: and by CST, I really meant CSR [18:28] but, i used wine , trying to open it [18:28] Lake, I saw this list but didn't understood it [18:28] ZeroWing: really.. I was charmed by the .XM and .MOD implementation :) [18:28] arooni: reboot should make it reboot [18:28] Jorg1: join #wine-hq [18:28] hello folks. how come *ubuntu doesn't have an /etc/init.d/iptables startup script for initializing iptables rules? [18:28] arooni, I use "sudo shutdown -r now" [18:28] Jorg1-> you can have a linux client for Citrix..download that version [18:28] it seems debian has this, but not ubuntu.. [18:28] astan: because you have to write your own, everyone has there own way [18:28] ok, tnxs [18:28] astan: debian is not ubuntu [18:28] Steph33560: well, its quite simple actually, every branded product actually has a less-known manufacturer make it's chipsets [18:28] Azuki: I don't know... I'm rather fond of Rhythmbox because it integrates with GTK. Makes it look all perdy. [18:29] Lake, ok ! [18:29] Steph33560: so, in the list, you have, an ACER usb dongle (BT500 (BU2-1)) who has its chipset made by CSR [18:29] when i minimize my window it disappears. [18:29] wat to restore it??

[18:31] help me with this [18:31] those silly names [18:31] Amadeux: Have you tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? It will guide you through reconfiguring xorg.conf. [18:31] ikonia: everyone has their own way? but don't the majority just want netfilter rules restored from a file at boot-up? wouldn't it make sense to have a /etc/init.d/iptables or /etc/init.d/netfilter for the most common need, and those who need something special could just roll their own? [18:31] zubair: help you with what [18:31] Unless you use hardy.

[18:33] ikonia, I guess I don't get it; if my keys aren't setup, how does ssh-agent scp the new key append to authorized keys without asking me for the password?

[18:34] boomish: visit http://www.compiz-fusion.org compiz is not an ubuntu product [18:34] thank you [18:34] ikonia: and i questioned its sanity :) okay, didn't know discussions like that were off-topic. thanks. [18:34] astan: no problem [18:34] Steph33560: lemme seach just a little longer before you externalize your anger at the incompatible hell through your usb dongle [18:34] ikonia:how can i see the windows together [18:34] Got any Winbind geniuses 'round here? === voiici is now known as wonderworld [18:35] zubair: click them on th task bar [18:35] pici: not rally no just /join ubuntustudio?

[18:35] anybody know how to catch the ssh password prompt and automatically enter the password from a bash script? [18:35] DSpair:waht kind of issue do you have with winbind [18:35] hwilde> use ssh keys to do that.

I have winbind set up in nsswitch.conf and the kerberos works or otherwise I wouldn't have joined the domain in the first place. [18:37] Gilou, I need to scp the key and then append it to authorized_keys about 150 times, so I have to type the password 300 times. I'm about 15/300 of the way there [18:37] hwilde: ever thought of nfs/samba/fuse mounting the home dirs' and just copying the keys in with one command ? [18:37] ikonia, they are remote machiens bounced through two ssh's [18:38] hello [18:38] how do i export my bookmarks from firefox 2 ? [18:38] We say hello here?

[18:39] yeah [18:39] how [18:39] Steph33560: depending on your will to buy another dongle, last thing you can do is post on the Ubuntu forum with the uttermost complete description of your problem and await an answer [18:39] !bluetooth [18:39] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [18:39] rwycuff: Can you clarify your question? Winbind is part of the samba suite, so I would say yes. [18:40] For some reason, I cannot get Ubuntu 8.04 to use seamless integration within VirtualBox. Has anyone else had this problem? [18:40] I am using firefox as a browser and it just froze. What command will kill it? I just tried killall firefox and it didn't work. [18:40] how do i register my name in irc so no one else can use it [18:40] Steph33560: otherwise, search said forum for previous user reports on what works and doesnt work and buy your dongle in consequence of those reports [18:40] Hello everyone [18:40] I have a problem with a sound card VT82C686 rev 20 on Xubuntu 7.10 [18:40] patrick_: stay online!

[18:45] Steph33560: indeed so :D if you do get one, get a brand that is not a very used word like "heady" since google only found phrases where people were praising the company and were using the word heady [18:45] i use it on an acer travelmate 4500 and the led does not work (but its not damaged i test it under windows) :-) [18:45] Azuki: The host is Gutsy Gibbon, the guess is Hardy Heron beta.

[18:47] blue112: well,when you installed, did the installation ever tell you things like "can't find sound card drivers'' ? [18:47] rwycuff: Why move to Courier? Cyrus would be a better choice in my opinion, as that will give you ACL support from the start. [18:47] Lake, on Xubuntu that's don't make problem, but my sound card doesn't want to play sounds :( [18:48] Lake, no, the alternate installer isn't very user-frendly [18:48] not my choice higher ups want it that way [18:48] rwycuff: K, I understand.

[18:49] blue112: ah xubuntu :D what's the laptop ? what's the laptops's motherboard ? what audio chipset is on said motherboard ? it could be that the xubuntu simply doesn't have the drivers for that chipset and therefore does'nt support it [18:49] Bad idea [18:49] DSpair:its All Setup and running just cant seem to get configs right to connect to AD [18:50] rwycuff: Are you using a DN for the authentication principal, or are you using something like "someuser@mydomain.com [18:50] "?

[19:26] Hi I am a newbie to Ubuntu, I have 710 desktop installed, is it possible to change to server and keep the GUI, if so how? [19:26] I have a java question. If you have a tomcat installation (from the ubuntu dpkg's), and you need to add in things like mail.jar, where shuld they go? Assume I know nothing of java, becasue that's true. [19:26] Survivorman: there you go [19:26] Gilou: why isnit it a good idea ? [19:26] quikone8 simply install whatever servers you want to run [19:26] ok , thx man , when i want to make a new document , i try to name it , but the keyboard doesn't respond . on the other hand , when i open a program like openoffice the keyboard works again [19:26] Gilou: why is that? [19:27] because NTFS is a proprietary format, and you have no guarantee linux can read/write to it properly [19:27] I use NTFS read/write in gutsy on a daily basis with both internal and external media [19:27] Any Idea where can I find the source code of a game named moonlander? [19:27] yaselmane, how are you trying to make your document? [19:27] moonlander was awesome! :P [19:27] bruenig: i just found out how to change the default gnome mixer: System -> Preferences -> Sound, under the Default Mixer Tracks it'll use the one thats highlighted ;D [19:27] yaselmane, ie which program? command line? [19:27] actually, you could run ubuntu on a free FS, and just use a fat32 partition to share files [19:27] no [19:27] any program [19:28] (or NTFS..) [19:28] Gilou: yeah, the fat32 partition you just mentioned was the common ground i was talking baout [19:28] about* [19:28] the easy way , the right click [19:28] HacksawSA-> if you do not know java why are you even adding a mail.jar on a webapp server? what are your intentions ? [19:28] ah well, then go NTFS if you need a large partition or big files [19:28] Gilou and consolidatedbord : so an extra NTFS partition to share lovely files should be enough ? [19:28] ntfs/fat32 make good shared data partitions, but that's it [19:28] yaselmane, so you right click, go to create document and nothing happens? [19:28] I deleted my panels by mistake. How can I get back the default ones? [19:29] !resetpanels | Ayabara [19:29] Ayabara: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:29] the document is created but i can't use the keyboard to name it [19:29] Lake> yeah [19:29] i can't type anything [19:29] mv eclipse -T /ect/ Where the hell did that move it? [19:29] Amenado: I'm trying to install a package (extremePlanner), which seems to want it. [19:29] actually, FAT32 has a file size limit of 4 GB, and a max volume size of 8 TiB so.. [19:30] the cd drive on my laptop does not work, how can install ubuntu from a usb stick [19:30] Lake: My dualboot setup consists of / (ext3) /home (ext3) and /xp (ntfs, windows C:) and I just use the /xp as the "shared common ground" [19:30] yaselmane, ok. are you using gnome? does it even highlight the generic name on the screen? [19:30] Hi I can watch any video using vlc, mplayer or totem. I've instaled ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs. What Im doing wrong? [19:30] HacksawSA-> does it not have a readme or install file to tell you the dependencies on other jar files? [19:30] I can't [19:30] nickrud: thanks. any reason why that command shouldn't work in hardy? [19:30] the generic name is shown [19:30] consolidatedbord: ok I think it sounds right, I will be doing something like that then [19:31] i'm asking , why i can't type [19:31] consolidatedbord and Gilou: thanks for advice [19:31] !codecs [19:31] Ayabara should, but possibly the panel isn't running at all. try alt-f2 gnome-panel [19:31] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [19:31] I'm going by the stack traces in /var/log/daemon [19:31] the cd drive on my laptop does not work, how can install ubuntu from a usb stick [19:31] now i'm using xchat and the keyboard works great [19:31] HacksawSA-> typically a webapp should be self-contained and you dont need to put a jar in the public access area, lest its like your logger or some kind of parser all the tomcat webapp uses [19:31] Ayabara and for the future: #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release, /j #ubuntu+1 ;) [19:32] nickrud: alt+f2 doesn't bring up anything after the panels left me [19:32] Ayabara got a terminal ? gnome-panel & (and doh, about the run dialog ;) [19:32] nickrud: I'll heed thy advice :-) [19:32] referring to custom kernel build command :make menuconfig . is the menu pre-configured to my system ? and should i need to add patches, perspectively unless there are massive errors down the line, is my kernel correct , where can i see its output or log ? [19:32] can i install ubuntu from a USB drive [19:32] Yeah, I wish I understood why it was suddenly asking for it. It sucks because it's causing the tomcat server to not start. It's possible it's related to the fact that I tuned the SecurityManager off, but I couldn't say why. [19:32] darko: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [19:32] how do you delete in console now? [19:33] I have generation 5.5 of Ipod Video with 80gb, but the GTKPod version in Ubuntu doesn't support it. Can someone explain the best way to install the latest version so I can try that? [19:33] Ayabara don't close the terminal with the close button (will kill the gnome-panels) use exit on the command line when you want to close it [19:33] yaselmane, I'm looking it up, but that's a new one to me. so the keyboard is fine otherwise? And you're using ubuntu, not kubuntu? And it's gutsy? [19:33] i'm using ubuntu 7.10 [19:33] HacksawSA-> well, resolve your Security Manager issue first perhaps? [19:33] It is, I turned it off, the app needs to write to the disk, I'm cool with that. [19:33] binarical-app-> an existing config file for the current kernel can be found at /boot/config* [19:34] nhz-kz-kz, vfpfafrfp [19:34] krim I'd suggest jus waiting a couple weeks for hardy, it will support it. But you could get the source for libgpod and gtkpod from gtkpod.org , run sudo apt-get build-deb gtkpod , and compile it [19:34] thanks amenado [19:34] nickrud: I don't have any command called gnome-panel actually... maybe I should move to #ubuntu+1 now? [19:34] Okay, thanks for the effort, I have to run. [19:34] yaselmane, can you right click and rename a folder in your home directory? [19:34] anybody install mpi ? [19:34] HacksawSA-> maybe paste in pastebin the errors or whatever it is called in java..the exceptions? [19:34] yaselmane, or can you do it from the terminal? [19:35] сиськи [19:35] Ayabara hm.

[19:35] how can i do it from the terminal [19:36] lordleemo: install ubuntu FROM a USB drive [19:36] yaselmane, have you installed any language support for additional languages recently? I'm just reading some bugs reports similar to your situation, and that was one cause.

[21:33] Boohbah: Thank you for explaining. [21:33] <|Dede|> apt-get install lshw, beastmasta? [21:33] Mathman: Driver "i810", 3d enough for you? [21:33] jonaskoelker what gfx card do you have? [21:33] |Dede|: do sudo su and login as root then run lshw [21:33] how can i check that? just a sec [21:33] noodlesgc: intel [21:33] <|Dede|> I did [21:33] beast not possible with audacity or kino. Thanks [21:33] <|Dede|> I did, beastmasta [21:33] jonaskoelker: 700 fps isn't much. I get around 10000 with my cheapo video card. [21:33] Rayyan, cat /etc/network/interfaces [21:33] Do someone know a soft to use a cue sheet to split audio files ? [21:33] |Dede|: still nothing? that's real odd [21:33] jonaskoelker, to use a car analogy, your 810 is about as 3d as a robin reliant is a racing car [21:33] glxinfo | grep direct ---> yes [21:33] jonaskoelker: I'd say 3d isn't set up. [21:33] jonaskoelker i can help [21:33] |Dede|: ask someone on debian channel how to install it I guess [21:33] <|Dede|> bash: lshw: command not found [21:33] I need a good (easy) page layout program -- I need to make tri-fold pamphlets. Any suggestions? [21:34] Mathman, in that case i'm fucked, cause i have a cheap card too, and get like 3000 fps [21:34] lcuk, 945GM is good enough to run Urban Terror :) [21:34] jonaskoelker go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root [21:34] switchcat, scribus [21:34] <|Dede|> I will, beastmasta, thank you [21:34] jowi i wasnt talking about the 845 though was it [21:34] noodlesgc: in vi as we speak [21:34] 945* [21:34] Exteris: well, there's cheap and then there's cheap these days I suppose [21:34] ibou: you try lives or songbird? can grab a copy from getdeb.net I think [21:34] Tell me please a free shell account [21:34] Mathman, this is a GeForce 8400GS [21:34] it shouldn't be slow [21:34] Jimbo, tell me please free credit card number [21:35] jonaskoelker add this to your "Device" section: Option "DRI" "true" [21:35] ibou: supposedly lives is pretty good for editing but its horribly complicated for most lol [21:35] Exteris: pci express? [21:35] Jowi: i still dnt know how to check it [21:35] Rayyan, I just told you. scroll up. [21:35] yeah whats cat [21:35] Mathman, pci-e 256mb ram [21:36] Exteris: yeah, that seems odd then. [21:36] Rayyan, "cat" is equal to "type" in Windows [21:36] jonaskoelker now a reboot, or a ctrl+alt+backspace should be all you need [21:36] Exteris: yeah which nvidia drivers you using? [21:36] oh [21:36] Exteris: unless you had other things going at the same time you did the test. compiz springs to mind [21:36] Rayyan, "cat /etc/network/interfaces" in a terminal will print that file on the screen for you [21:36] beastmasta: lives is for video files. I just want to split a lossless audio file [21:36] noodlesgc: what does that do exactly? [21:36] jimbo: http://www.bylur.net/free/ [21:36] Mathman, i have compiz running, loadavg of 0.38 [21:36] ok now i get it [21:36] Bah they always ask and run [21:37] Exteris: well yeah, I'd expect worse fps with compiz going at the same time [21:37] ibou: there about a million little apps for doing that in repository I have no clue where to start is it ogg files? [21:37] azuki adds DRI when you load the intel driver, DRI is direct rendering something [21:37] noodlesgc: did the M-C-^H; the framerate of glxgears dropped a slight bit, [21:37] Mathman, 15838 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3167.514 FPS without compiz [21:37] noodlesgc: I also have performance issues ongames, but this you say is only for intel cards? [21:37] c [21:37] auto eth0 [21:37] iface eth0 inet dhcp [21:38] Hi, is there some nice gui way of connecting through a cellular gprs connection or will I have to rfcomm and pppd by hand? [21:38] noodlesgc: also, if I move the glxgears window in compiz-fusion, the gears at the old position don't get overdrawn by the window that's now taking up that space [21:38] Rayyan, do you have more than one network card listed there? [21:38] azuki, it could work for you too, you should give it a shot [21:38] there is a usb0 and eth0 [21:38] Rayyan, what is USB0? wifi? [21:38] How do I rebuild the initramfs with a custom DSDT? [21:38] jonaskoelker what brand intel card do you have? 965? [21:39] no same modem [21:39] (asking lshw) [21:39] it has ethernet and usb [21:39] but i dont have the usb connected [21:39] Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated ... [21:39] Exteris: glxinfo spits out some alright looking stuff? [21:39] <|Dede|> How do I send messages to another user logged in? Using bash [21:40] |Dede|: man write === jaggy2 is now known as jagggy [21:40] Mathman, glx is running alright but I have an old driver OpenGL version string: 2.1.1 NVIDIA 100.14.19 [21:40] jonaskoelker was your gfx card blacklisted? [21:40] Mathman, how much do you think that matters? [21:40] noodlesgc: blacklisted? [21:41] I'm looking for help running usbview in gutsy. When I start it, it says "can not open the file /proc"bus/usb/devices". I tried modprobe usbdevfs but it doesn't seem to load anything [21:41] jonaskoelker, that's a long due bug. nothing to worry about. 3d works much better when compiz is not enabled on these cards. [21:41] jonaskoelker did you have to do anything special to get compiz working? [21:41] Exteris: probably not much. on my end it's saying 1.4 (2.1.2 NVIDIA 169.12) [21:41] Mathman, do you have such an expensive card then? [21:41] how can anyone even chat in here with so many users? [21:41] noodlesgc: I don't think so... [21:41] Exteris: nope. 6200 or something like that. [21:41] Pomicio, just put the name of who you want to talk to in front [21:41] Jowi: what's a long due bug? [21:41] Mathman, then my card should totally pwn yours [21:41] yeah, you would think [21:42] Exteris: but then I don't run ubuntu either... [21:42] jonaskoelker, when moving glxgears window. the gears sort of stick in place while the rest of the window frame moves freely. [21:42] noodlesgc: but I may be inaccurate in assigning significance to what I did, and remember badly... [21:42] Mathman, how do you run glxgears then? [21:42] Jowi: ah [21:42] Exteris: type glxgears. how else? [21:42] Mathman, no i mean what are you on then? debian? [21:42] <_boto> is there a console based admin tool for users and groups? [21:43] so jowi u have any idea what i should do? [21:43] nah, fedora at the moment. depends on my mood. [21:43] _boto, users-admin [21:43] jonaskoelker so the games are still slow? [21:43] <_boto> ah, thanks [21:43] jonaskoelker, for some reason, when running compiz, the intel cards is having issues that is not shown when compiz is disabled. not sure if it's the drivers or compiz. I disabled compiz myself. less buggy. [21:43] _boto, sorry, that's graphical too [21:44] jonaskoelker, I get much better performance without compiz. 3d games stop lagging. [21:44] those are all pretty well documents compiz "features" [21:44] Exteris: you see stuff about 16X pci express in your X logs? [21:44] Jowi: jonaskoelker: that will be fixed by "DRI2" which is quite far along now [21:45] Mathman, yes [21:45] beats me then [21:45] DRI2 may be far along, but the support of it by nvdia/ati is in question :P [21:45] I do have this, and i don't know that: (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation unknown chipset (0x0422) rev 161, Mem @ 0xfd000000/24, 0xd0000000/28, 0xfa000000/25, I/O @ 0xc800/7, BIOS @ 0xfe9e0000/17 [21:45] crdlb, yep, but in the meantime I stick to normal composite manager for shadow effects :) [21:45] noodlesgc: the games are still slow [21:45] is dri2 only in hardy? [21:46] I'm getting hal error on login anyone else have same before? I can't choose quit then shutdown from menu either [21:46] is there an addon for firefox that will change download units from KB/s to mbps? [21:46] noodlesgc: it's not in hardy [21:46] mouseboyx: think that's an option under about:config [21:46] Exteris: yeah, maybe try and get some newer drivers [21:46] where is it? [21:46] thanks [21:46] it might make intrepid I guess [21:46] Hey, everytime I boot Windows then boot Ubuntu afterwards, I get forced into fsck, does anyone know what might be happening? [21:46] Mathman, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=548877 ? it's the same card [21:46] crdlb, jonaskoelker, for some reason it was less buggy in Beryl... but then again, Beryl was more crash prone instead. [21:46] beastmasta i had that, its hard to fix [21:46] mouseboyx: seriously don't need plugins for lot of things, most stuff already builtin just have to look through it [21:47] irc://irc.DarkSin.net/legend [21:47] Exteris: I hate to recommend installing the junk you get straight from nvidia, but perhaps in this case that's in order [21:47] noodlesgc: what did you do to fix it? [21:48] prelude-manager fails to reconfigure because it cant find the mysql server, but the server is running and other apps are using it. [21:48] www.virtual-host.de [21:48] !update [21:48] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [21:48] i can't find it in the about:config [21:48] beastmasta i forgot, give me a minute [21:48] what program should I use to partition my disk? [21:48] kleenex: cfdisk? [21:48] Mathman, it's not like i need the performance, but it would be nice :P [21:48] In windows if you've got a big collection of music you want every user to be able to access you often put it on a second harddrive like d:\music\ but in Ubuntu I'm not sure where to put data like that? It doesn't feel right to put it in a home directory since I want it to be a shared location. Where should things like that be located in the linux file structure? [21:48] kleenex: maybe gparted or qtparted if you like your mouse :) [21:49] marlun, i use /media/data [21:49] is gparted a freeware? [21:49] beastmasta ok, can you get a terminal? [21:49] <_boto> excuse my stupid question, but in which package is users-admin? apt cache search does not find it. it is also not contained in console-tools [21:49] kleenex: it's in the apt repositories... [21:49] _boto, users-admin is installed already, and i was wrong, it is a graphical tool [21:49] noodlesgc: anything thats needed I got just give me some info ;) [21:49] kleenex, it's a live cd. [21:50] is it possible to run ubuntu on a remote computer? [21:50] kleenex: and it's in main, so it's Free Software [21:50] ahh so it is inside the ubuntu cd image I downloaded? [21:50] Acomaco: yeah like vnc over ssh you mean? or freenx? [21:50] beastmasta ok, in your /etc/rc.* folders there should be a link to dbus === lelemom-Away is now known as lelemom [21:50] * lelemom voltou: [Inativo por mais de 30 minutos] [duração: 32mins 41secs, page: on] [21:50] kleenex: its part of the default OS yes .. [21:50] i have a on board sound card anyone know how to make sound come threw it [21:50] thanks [21:51] beastmasta something like K20dbus [21:51] another question, when i double click the install icon in ubuntu desktop it just freezes forever [21:51] larry__, see if you can find it with your mixer. [21:51] any idea on how to solve that? [21:51] noodlesgc: which rc? [21:51] ok thanks [21:51] beastmasta all [21:51] kleenex: run it from a shell and see whats happening [21:51] anyone got a clue what else I can do to make my games not slow down? [21:51] anybdy has any idea how to locate the settings of the update manager? [21:51] well Mathman i'll try installing the official drivers then, cya soon [21:51] can someone help me with a dist-upgrade [21:52] Rayyan: try dpkg -L update-manager [21:52] is it THEORETICALLY possible to make games run equally fast in linux as in windows?.. [21:52] if im upgrading from edgy to feisty can i just replace edgy with feisty in the source list? [21:52] sorry marx2k but what do u mean with a shell? [21:52] thx [21:52] or better.. practically :) [21:52] azuki: yeah [21:52] is there an addon for firefox that will change download units from KB/s to mbps? [21:52] noodlesgc; I see S12dbus also S12hal too [21:52] azuki: its very possible [21:52] has anyone ever done a dist-upgrade from edgy to feisty? [21:52] beastmasta in which rc folder? [21:52] I don't even get close :( [21:52] noodlesgc: all them [21:53] kleenex: open up a terminal (Alt+F2, type gnome-terminal (I think)) and then type ~/Desktop/install (or whatever the program name is) [21:53] binarical-app: any sites with tweaking tips? [21:53] jonas, it doesnt show me my ip settings for the update manager [21:53] i got a weird problem [21:53] beastmasta this is getting stranger by the moment. try changing them to 20's [21:53] azuki: with custom kernel compilation and xen you may get super results, otherwise try wine for a simple fix [21:53] which is the update manager is set to use the previous itnernet settings [21:53] Laterz [21:53] can i just skip the edgy > feisty upgrade and go straight to gutsy? [21:54] hey guys, any one know of any software to record my screen with, thats not recordmydesktop as the quality is useless [21:54] no [21:54] Rayyan: well, it might show what the config file is [21:54] Mr_Bad_News: no [21:54] test [21:54] do i just replace edgy with feisty in the repost list? [21:54] binarical-app: wine ? [21:54] smithey93_ instanbul [21:54] !screencasst | smithey93_ [21:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about screencasst - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:54] Odd-rationale [21:54] !screencast | smithey93_ [21:54] smithey93_: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [21:54] can i sudo apt-get install em? [21:54] <_boto> could it be that users-admin needs X? i have a server without X. is there another console tool for user administration? [21:54] noodlesgc: should I try sysvconfig for editing these services? seems would be easier [21:54] !upgrade | Mr_Bad_News [21:54] Mr_Bad_News: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [21:54] Mr_Bad_News: do a dist-upgrade [21:54] smithey93_: istanbul you can, but IMO rmd is better then istanbul [21:55] azuki: wine is not emulation its serious translation of windows application to run under linux [21:55] beastmasta i suppose you could [21:55] thats what im trying to marx2k [21:55] ok ill try the shell thing [21:55] popey: how do i go about installing/using IMO? [21:55] i did dist-upgrade [21:55] smithey93_: IMO = In My Opinion [21:55] binarical-app: I was talking about running games with good FPS.. [21:55] but the wiki guide doesnt have anything on going from edgy to feisty [21:55] smithey93_: rmd = recordmydesktop [21:55] can I play mp3 files in ubuntu? [21:55] just hoary > dapper > edgy [21:55] kleenex: yes [21:55] hi [21:55] and run itunes? [21:55] popey: whoops, im not up to date with ebrebriations, what do u reccomend? and how do i install it? [21:55] kleenex: maybe [21:56] noodlesgc: ok at runlevel 2 it has k20 for dbus but rest are s12 [21:56] smithey93_: i use recordmydesktop [21:56] hi [21:56] why, while openoffice is installed by default, the paquet "openoffice.org" is not selected? [21:56] smithey93_: xvidcap is also good [21:56] !itunes [21:56] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [21:56] Jowi: not even with wine? [21:56] noodlesgc: hal has k16 at runleel 2 and rest are s12 as well [21:56] azuki:http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [21:56] popey: as i have a 19" widescreen screen the video is a bit messed up like 4:3 and not 16:9 [21:56] jonaskoelker, no idea. [21:56] ok [21:56] beastmasta ok, make all into 12's [21:56] smithey93_: what are you using to play it back? [21:56] noodlesgc: all into 12s for hal? [21:56] smithey93_, are you using mplayer? [21:57] Mathman, it doesn't really make much of a difference [21:57] beastmasta hal and dbus [21:57] noodlesgc: k12 or s12? [21:57] who is using windows? :P [21:57] hahahaha [21:57] binarical-app: ???? I have wine.. I am talking about a .glx [21:57] noodlesgc: what is this affecting anyway what is the norm for your system? [21:57] popey: mplayer, vlc, totem mobie player, and ive had it tested in wmp (on virus os) [21:57] binarical-app: I use wine only for windows-based stuff [21:57] 3 days ago, i was using windows on all 5 of my machines, now it's 4, tommorow it'll be 3, then 2...then 1... [21:57] smithey93_, in ~/.mplayer/config add the following line: monitoraspect = 16:9 [21:58] then the last one might just stay windows, more news on that later lol [21:58] How do i remove the system restart required message, because i know i don't need to restart [21:58] beastmasta these change what order system processes start, hal needs dbus, so they must start at the same time [21:58] Exteris: you restart ;) [21:58] (scnr) [21:58] jovi: its the same in like vlc to? [21:58] Exteris: pull up your task manager app and kill the updater program [21:58] beastmasta is hal starts before dbus, you get an error, thats what is happening to you [21:58] Exteris: can reboot when ever you feel like it [21:58] azuki: graphical acceleration ? like i said your best shot would be to compile your own kernel and run an emulator, you will get almost the same out put as a hard install without emulation [21:59] anyone know how to set a keepalive for a VPN connection? [21:59] noodlesgc: ah okay I read some where how xfce issues stuff to hal from dbus so that makes sense [21:59] noodlesgc: so k or s and 12 or 20 which is it? [21:59] when i run ubuntu (with the cd) it runs awfully slow [21:59] hi there, does somebody knows why i'm getting this error, error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3, i've already installed all the libXm libraries [21:59] is that normal? [21:59] how do I change the default home dir location for adduser? [21:59] when you watch a video in youtube, is it displayed with the opengl technology? [21:59] beastmasta all numbers to 12, and whatever they have (k or s) leave [22:00] kleenex: that is to be expected its running from the cd drive and not the hard drive [22:00] b4l74z4r no, flash [22:00] noodlesgc: might my issues be due to GPU overheating? [22:00] smithey93_, I can't find the option in vlc. [22:00] jovi: the thing is, it does it in all media players, is there not a option in the recordmydesktop config [22:00] jonaskoelker i dont know. [22:00] jonaskoelker: install the overclocking app for your graphics card and run *clock -T to see thermal temperature for graphics card [22:00] Ubunti 7.10, can i install it as a file on my windows system, or does it require its own partition? [22:01] when i play youtube videos in full screen especially, i experience severe horizontal tearing, does anyone else have the same? [22:01] just want to ask before i start burning cd's [22:01] Ante- not with fiesty, hardy can though [22:01] jonaskoelker: depending on the thermal paste and if the gfx card fan base is touching the cards processor or not you could be having heat issues, also try to keep the cards fan away from heat radiators and pipes [22:02] beastmasta: what's the overclocking app for intel's "Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express"? [22:02] hardy is the next version? [22:02] !hardy [22:02] 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 [22:02] smithey93_, in VLC: settings -> prefs -> Video (not a submenu but Video itself) you have "source aspect ratio" and "monitor pixel aspect ratio" but I haven't tried those options myself since i use only mplayer (non-gui) [22:02] jovi: my personal preference for watching things in movie player/totem [22:02] Ante-: mount the iso image with daemon tools and run wubi if you don't want to repartition windows, you can get a gparted livecd to repartition windows after a scan disk and defrag it works perfectly fine except when you reinstall windows you have to backup grub [22:02] How do I rebuild the initramfs with a custom DSDT? [22:03] where do I find the partition programs inside ubuntu? [22:03] ive got apache serving up subversion repositories. im using htpasswd to create users, and and basic http authentication. the problem is, the users i create can write to any repository, because authorization is given to users that have authenticated. does anyone know how to restrict users, or groups, to a single repository? [22:03] !gparted | kleenex [22:03] kleenex: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [22:03] Ante-: don't know if that would work mounting iso though best to just download wubi and run it [22:03] hrm k [22:03] or i just use vmware... bleugh :) [22:04] kleenex: if you want a command line app try fdisk and dd [22:04] anyone know the terminal cammand for sun java install [22:04] anyone know how to set a keepalive on a vpn connection in network-manager? [22:04] where do I type that? [22:04] how can I set a different standard video player? [22:04] smithey93_, in totem you go to View -> Aspect Ratio [22:04] how do i open a console [22:04] Ante-: vmware can't do direct rendering and other accelleration it also has to run 2 operating systems so thereby can't sustain higher performance speeds. even though wubi translates ntfs its still faster [22:05] kleenex: alt+f2, xterm [22:05] larry__ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [22:05] ok thanks [22:05] can some one help me how do you register with a server so you can chat there?

I can boot into, as an example, hiren's boot cd and it'll detect the hdd and I can fix it. It's 1st sector was messed up... How do i mount/work with hdd that does not show up on fdisk -l??? [22:32] dixon2 no i cant see it [22:32] graft: sry didn't knew that .. i always click into the directory view and autocomplete every directory step there (us -> enter, bi -> enter, nauti -> enter) for example [22:32] does someone happen to have a guide for using ad-hoc with wpa encryption? So far my search has only turned up wep encrypted ad-hoc networks. [22:32] amsn doesnt start at all ...but on console I get the message : Error in startup script: [22:33] mindmedic: well, i type faster than the autocomplete, so i'd like to be able to just type out directory trees, but the stupid thing thinks it's better than me [22:33] do you have medibuntu 3rd party repository enabled in your synaptic? it should have all the codecs you need [22:33] anybody???

[22:35] graft: if i had your problem i would try to find something with gconf-editor [22:35] maybe there is a nautilus setting for that [22:35] last time i booted i got a kernel panic (this time worked fine) == is there a place where this is logged? [22:35] go to medibuntu.org for instructions on how to get codecs for dvds [22:37] When i boot from the LiveCD, it goes to black screen, then it says like (numbers) Debian (numbers_ 1995-2007 CopyRight... After that it just reboots (loop) [22:38] And i am almost certain i burned it correctly... Also it was a brand-new CD [22:38] are you using the ubuntu livecd or the debian livecd? [22:39] when i play youtube videos in full screen especially, i experience severe horizontal tearing, does anyone else have the same? [22:39] is it me, or does ubuntu make my laptop fans spin up way more than normal.... [22:40] more than any other OS or Distro... [22:40] anyone on where the kernel panic message is logged?

I don't think it will improve things a lot though [22:41] But if i do too much, or very little, it spins up to 100% and is bothersome in class [22:41] Is there a way to modify fan speeds?

[22:44] dixon2 where i find the codec in medibu ? [22:45] but the very fact that id be running off a cs may eliminate the sound point [22:45] since the cd is loud [22:45] Vetsin: I don't really know.. but trying a live cd is cheap... both in terms of money and time [22:46] im afraid of sounding like a noob, i dled 7.10 which left me a number of folders and files in winrar im confused as to what i should do next [22:46] i know i have to make an iso or burn to a disk [22:46] Vetsin: I just meant to try hardy and see if the fans stop messing around... not for every day use.. as you said.. the cd drive makes quite a lot of noise too [22:46] i wonder if its my cpu or gpu fan.... === thenephilim is now known as tnm [22:47] I'm getting ready to switch from Windows to Ubuntu - when I do, it would be handy to copy my old Windows install onto the new hard disc I have, and dual boot it.

[22:50] there? [22:50] elf, it doesn't? [22:50] odd... [22:50] amsn doesnt start after i tried to install jabber [22:50] is there someting wrong with the disk? [22:50] i'm pretty sure the first sector is messed up [22:51] mildner: Install Jabber? [22:51] even if its unmountable it should show up as a device [22:51] mildner: You mean install a client? [22:51] other disk had the same problem, i had to boot up in hiren's cd and fixed it from there [22:51] a IM client? gaim or kopete actually rule [22:51] hi i want help [22:51] Can't say i know much about forensics elflap, but i'm sure linux can be very good at it [22:51] i'm pretty sure i can do the same... but i'm trying to find out if there is a way to do it from linux environment [22:52] !ask | xrhstaraspatra [22:52] xrhstaraspatra: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:52] yes [22:52] !ask | xrhstaraspatra [22:52] MattJ: yes [22:52] !ask i want help about compiz [22:52] i'm hoping someone can help me out, i've been banging my head against a bootloader problem all day. had a server die over the weekend, 7.04 box using lilo because I was dumb and I made my root partition on a LVM volume. long story short, i managed foul up lilo and now i can't get the server to boot. any ideas on how to regenerate the bootloader? [22:53] xrhstaraspatra: !ask is just a bot trigger :P [22:53] i want hlep about compiz [22:53] explain your problem, on one line [22:53] as the bot said [22:53] t__, grub? [22:53] oh wait you said lilo [22:53] yeah :( [22:53] t__, usually, at least with grub, if you press a key you can edit the boot loader conf [22:53] and in that conf, you can specify the boot partitons [22:53] kmmwths: follow instructions on how to add repositories on medibuntu webpage. then open synaptic and search on a52 and libdvdcss [22:53] manually [22:54] hi... i just reinstalled gutsy gibon after hardy beta gave me a hard time... now i was a bit careless and went with the guided installation and it didn't prompt me that it was going to format both my partitions.... which means that all of my data(even the one i backed up on my ntfs partition) is pretty much gone... [22:54] assuming lilo still loads? [22:54] guestion is... is there any way to recover it? [22:54] MeTaL, not all of it [22:54] lilo spits out a bunch of garbage right now [22:54] as much as i can [22:54] i have problem with 3d games/3d applications when i have the compiz effects activated!, the screen of the game/app blink fast and some times is white i guess it refreshes too much.when i deactivate compiz everything is ok. i have ati radeon hd2400 [22:54] MeTal: if you have extra hdd... before you do anything else back up an image of the hdd with dd [22:54] don't have many important things... but just a few small files... [22:54] MeTaL: depends on how much money you're willing to spend on it.. there are companies that does these kinds of things... but it's very expensive [22:55] don't have an extra hdd [22:55] elflap, i don't think an image will help with data recovery of a formated drive [22:55] right now i have a clean installation anyway [22:55] There are tools that will recover deleted and formated files [22:55] xrhstaraspatra: well...ati + compiz has equaled bad performance/display issues on every single computer ive tried it on, including my own [22:55] nuit!! [22:55] Assuming it wasn't a low level format [22:55] hi, i am trying to upgrade from 7.10 with the update manager , but it doesnt find any updates , what could be the problem? [22:55] MeTaL: you could try testdisk.. it can find old partitions and such... but you'll have to read a lot of documentation and preferably talk to someone who knows how to use it first [22:55] it will recover SOME, of the data, not all of it [22:55] easy fix: disable compiz. perhaps someone with more knowledge can provide more info [22:55] i have problem with 3d games/3d applications when i have the compiz effects activated!, the screen of the game/app blink fast and some times is white i guess it refreshes too much.when i deactivate compiz everything is ok. i have ati radeon hd2400 . [22:55] xrhstaraspatra: well...ati + compiz has equaled bad performance/display issues on every single computer ive tried it on, including my own [22:56] easy fix: disable compiz. perhaps someone with more knowledge can provide more info [22:56] i'm talking about maybe an application that can recover files? if such a thing exists?

Version 6.6-1 (gutsy), package size 668 kB, installed size 2624 kB [22:56] I installed ubuntu, had some troubles, tried to fix them, and then when booted again, gnome wouldn't start. Deleted both linux partitions, and re-installed it, and gnome still doesn't start. [22:56] Vetsin: right, there are tools to recover files, but to be sure to recover everything possible... i'd say it's better to make an image with dd [22:56] I found a way and activated a switch in compiz that draws the screen only at vertical freq [22:56] i tried converting everything over to a single raid volume w/o lvm and installing grub (on a second set of disks) and hit a brick wall there, so now i'm back to the original disks, trying to get lilo to work [22:56] thanks, i'll try it [22:56] MeTaL: but read some documentation first.. if you do something wrong you might destroy your only chance of recovering your files [22:56] and that had fixed the problem the made changes and now the same [22:57] i had fixed this once. [22:57] ok... [22:57] any idea how to force start gnome? [22:57] relating to Slart:... to MeTaL: if you make an image you have many chances to try different things to recover [22:58] Hello, I am having trouble getting a printer to work , does anyone have any ideas where to start to get it to work , or see if it CAN work ?

[22:58] MeTaL: I think elflap's idea makes a lot of sense.. with an image you could try stuff without fear of losing it all [22:59] no ideas?

[23:21] hi guys [23:21] so I'm trying to get a dual monitor setup going [23:21] with a laptop lcd and a widescreen [23:21] Genesis 1 [23:21] The Beginning [23:21] 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [23:21] 2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. [23:21] 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. [23:21] randall: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:21] 6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. [23:22] has anyone done this before? [23:22] aolaus: i did about 6 months ago, ill see what i can remember [23:22] well...it wasnt widescreen, but eh [23:22] 24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. [23:23] the widescreen is the problem [23:23] it is not fully supported by my intel 945gm driver [23:23] what's gutsy? [23:23] so does ubuntu still take packages from debian sid? or is it becoming an independently obtained and independently maintained effort? [23:24] n-iCe: ubuntu 7.10 [23:24] n-iCe: you mean ubuntu 7.10? [23:24] gutsy is as gutsy does [23:24] oh [23:24] is it good? [23:24] better then 6.10 ? [23:24] depends on who you ask :P [23:24] you decide [23:24] ask yourself... install it and see [23:24] chalcedony :***** [23:24] hey how do attach an external drive using the terminal [23:24] you remember what "DMPS" is, gruetamer? [23:24] i see [23:24] aolaus: not really [23:25] I thought 6.04 was the best but will see how 8.04 is when it comes out [23:25] 6.04? :) [23:25] hey how do attach an external drive using the terminal [23:25] I have 70-yes-bitmaps.conf enabled for fontconfig but still can't see any Misc fonts, Fixed aka 7x14 aka Screen? [23:25] what's "best"? [23:25] pingu_: what is it listed as in fdisk -l [23:26] GrueTamer: what is fdisk -l [23:26] terminal command [23:26] man fdisk [23:26] jim, what does this give you? cat /etc/debian_version [23:26] its a lowercase L, in case you had trouble with that [23:27] GrueTamer: ya tried that nothing happened hold on trying again [23:27] unop_: oh, I'm not running ubuntu at all [23:27] GrueTamer: yea nothing [23:27] do i need 'sudo' [23:27] maybe [23:27] Dell D820 Laptop with Ubuntu X64 on it. When a user is logged in and leaves the machine for 20 mins or more it goes to a white screen and you cannot do anything to log in. I have to Ctrl Alt BackSpace to kill X. Once it restarts all is well again. What is causing this? [23:28] jim, well, on gutsy that gives me cat /etc/debian_version gives me lenny/sid [23:28] Could possibly xscreensaver.. [23:28] have you looked at the settings for it redeye? [23:28] How can I remove/disable that to test? [23:28] aha, so ubuntu does not maintain /etc/debian_version? [23:28] No... ... [23:28] What should I look for? [23:28] goto system, preferences, screensaver [23:29] GrueTamer: it doesn't show up [23:29] make sure its not on an opengl screensaver perhaps [23:29] then uncheck the box that says "activate screensavr" [23:29] Done. [23:29] I'll let you know. [23:29] How it goes, thanks. [23:29] jim, gutsy is ubuntu [23:29] thats true too. If its an opengl screen saver it might mess things up, depending on the drivers you have set up. [23:29] GrueTamer: this is what it gives me Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes [23:29] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders [23:29] Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [23:29] Disk identifier: 0x52288b36 [23:29] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [23:29] pingu_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I am not using an opengl one at th emoment. [23:30] ... [23:30] Cool, if that iwas whats causing the problem you should try switching screen savers, there are a few neat ones there. [23:30] Hum [23:30] rgr. [23:30] Well, give that a shot anyways, its a good idea to rule things out. [23:31] I will, thanks again Coniferous. [23:31] does anyone know how to get accent marks and stuff in linux? [23:31] how can I see my usbs devices names? [23:31] you should't paste in here thats what paste bin is for [23:31] i just needed to know what the hard drive is listed as, find it by matching the hard drive size to a /dev/sd* drive [23:31] like in windows you press alt+0224 etc... [23:31] bgesk or how? [23:31] n-iCe, it depends on what you mean by 'name' there [23:31] the usb device name [23:31] n-iCe, lsusb -v perhaps [23:32] how do u make it so that you automatically log in when you start Ubuntu?

[23:37] jim, the inference that ubuntu is not independent from debian just because a /etc/debian_version exists is probably faulty .. a lot of work is shared between the ubuntu MOTUs and the core debian developers (though not all) and ubuntu continue to contribute to the debian project in some ways and is somewhat true vice-versa [23:37] i have a very serious question so i need everyones attention who knows: I have a small network of ubuntus, and when we play gnometris, id like it so we all see each others high scores, how do i do this? [23:37] i was wondering if anyone could help me. my computer wouldn't start back up from hibernate and now firefox won't load. it just crashes every time i try to run it [23:37] Frogger626, they mean obtain in the english sense [23:38] Nope, you having an issue with it brian? or are you just cirious about compatibility? [23:38] Frogger626: you can obtain a permission.. don't know if you can obtain other stuff.. but I'd say it means "get" [23:38] :) [23:38] unop_: yes, I understand that... the other possibility is they just don't maintain that file [23:38] ciao [23:38] Frogger626: obtain ie download or order the ubuntu cd [23:38] AlphaOmega: write them on a whiteboard where everyone can see? =) [23:38] :( [23:38] ocacatetuttiquanti [23:38] i mean, when i save my score, i want to see everyone elses [23:39] I have it [23:39] \i know i ahve to share a folder [23:39] jim, they probably do, it's an indication that the average package level on ubuntu is about equal to that on lenny/sid [23:39] I'm on it RIGHT NOW [23:39] not sure whats the right way to do it [23:39] andate a fare in culo [23:39] siete dei pezzi di merda [23:39] bbl dinner time here everyone [23:39] i'm probably in for it asking here, but does anyone here use the ATI fglrx drivers and come up with a way to rotate an X screen? [23:39] AlphaOmega: I don't know how gnometris does it's high scores.. but you might be able to share a drive with the gnometris files on.. and you all run it from the same folder.. but I'm just guessing here [23:39] when did we switch to Italiano?

[23:42] cheeseSlice: try running it from a terminal and see what kind of error-messages you get [23:42] !intel [23:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:42] hum [23:43] bah [23:43] one sec [23:43] run this command and tell me what driver your using... [23:43] i've only be using ubuntu for a few days and was hoping someone could help, ran it from terminal. it loads, asks if i would like to restore the session then closes again [23:43] Like how, cheeseSlice? [23:43] cheeseSlice: no errors at all? [23:43] none [23:43] cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [23:43] sorry [23:43] you;'re right [23:44] about? [23:44] it is coming up with an error message about ebuyer plugin [23:44] Nvidia [23:44] cheeseSlice: it crashes even if you start a new session? [23:44] yes [23:44] hum [23:45] so where did you get this ebuyer thing [23:45] cheeseSlice: I'd find some way of uninstalling that ebuyer plugin.. manually deleting it or something. [23:45] I dunno then, you may have to try usng a different driver then nvidia. [23:45] from the firefox extensions website [23:45] ok.. [23:45] Thats sort of out of my area of expertise. [23:45] Is there an easy way to revert back to the normal driver... as in the open source one .. ? [23:46] is there a way to start it in safe mode? [23:46] Redeye2: I suppose you can always delete your xorg.conf and start a new one [23:46] How do you start a new one? [23:46] Yeah, you should just have to change the driver line under "section device" to what the open source driver is.. i forget the open source one for nvidia though [23:46] Will it create itself If I delete it ? [23:47] Redeye2: or use that "dpkg-reconfigre xserver-xorg" ..<--- I don't know if that's the correct command.. but it's similar [23:47] you can alyways try "vesa" but its pretty crappy [23:47] I found a list of drivers on linuxprinting.org, http://www.openprinting.org/driver_list.cgi, but I don't know how to locate a driver for my old Brother MFC 4800 [23:47] Coniferous: it's "nv" I think [23:47] ok.. I'll give it a shot. [23:47] someone can help me finding a program to manage PDF forms and save it? i found just something called "Cabaret stage" but cannot install him (i'm a noob) [23:47] Yeah, actully [23:47] that sounds very familiar. [23:47] I'll change to NV.. [23:47] Give them both a go. [23:47] make sure you use lowercase. [23:47] ok. [23:48] illovae: pdf forms .. there aren't many programs for linux that handle anything but plain pdf's [23:48] cheeseSlice, in the terminal, try firefox -safe-mode [23:48] illovae: I've never heard of this "Cabaret Stage" [23:48] :o [23:48] s/illovae/i1 =° [23:48] * illovae hides [23:49] illovae: Cabaret Stage is windows-only software it seems..
