[00:33] !clone | Fred_Sambo [00:33] Fred_Sambo: 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 [00:33] http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/09/16/installing-vista-fonts-in-ubuntu/ [00:33] and now although the fonts show up in my list, they are unusable and render as blank white blocks. any suggestions? [00:33] detedagowa: What is currently installed on the remote system that you are able to access it enough to attempt installing something else on it? [00:33] I believe some of the windows fonts, like Arial, are permitted [00:34] nerdparty gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, look for all lines ending in universe and remove the # at the beginning. (also, add the word multiverse to the lines with universe for access to that repository as well) [00:34] detedagowa: sorry, you need to install a base system on the machine. You need to have atleast a cdrom drive and use the alternate install cdrom [00:35] detedagowa: ubuntu doesn't provide floppy images (I believe debian might still do( [00:35] anyone know of anyway to minimize thunderbird to the tray?

[00:36] hey guys, just wondering is it possible to partition my harddrive for a dual boot of ubuntu/windows? [00:37] nerdparty; did you create your user during the install? [00:37] detedagowa: probably best if you explain the situation completely and we might be able lto give better advice if we're being useless [00:37] nerdparty: are you the only user in your system?? you probably already are [00:37] sarah____ [00:37] no [00:37] Fred_sambo how come? [00:37] just kidding [00:37] bastid_raZor doesnt want to work...ahhaaahhhh!!!!fkggoptjofg [00:37] sarah___; yes, are you using windows or ubuntu now? [00:37] sarah: yes .. I am on a dual boot at the very moment [00:37] sarah___: yes you can. [00:37] sarah___just kidding [00:38] BSG75, bastid_raZor: No, I'm not, I got the computer from my brother, it's my computer now and he wants nothing to do with it, so I want to delete his user and make myself admin. [00:38] sarah__ : yes, just start up with the Ubuntu disc in the drive and it should give you an option to partition for dual boot during installation [00:38] dimas_; which part does not work? i followed that guide and mine works perfectly [00:38] well, like i said earlier the laptop i need to install ubuntu on has no OS at all....no cd rom drive otherwise id just use the cd, so my only other option is a net install but i dont understand how to do a net install [00:38] well bastid_raZor i had gusty, and loved it. But i had to install windows to run software for my math class. Now i am on windows with no ubuntu [00:38] and i feel sad :( [00:38] so i need to get my ubuntu back [00:38] sarah___: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot that should help maybe... [00:38] Hi. [00:38] Someone Help: the xorg process slowly accumulates more and more memory usage over time. it's now 785MB. Any tip on how to troubleshoot? [00:38] thanks [00:38] Did you try running that software in Wine? [00:38] bastid_raZor doesnt connect to to server [00:38] nerdparty; you'll have to use his account to add your user to the admin group.

[00:38] !dual boot [00:38] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:38] Is there a way I can make Compiz NOT minimize all windows when I switch desktops? [00:38] max_: what version ubuntu? it sounds like a memory leak... [00:39] sarah___: yes [00:39] I only have 8gb on this partition... [00:39] So if I make myself admin I can delete his user even though he's the one who installed it? [00:39] sarah__: you need about 5gb for an okay install.. you can do it on less if you pick and chose what you want [00:39] sarah___; 40G is fine.. in the LiveCD simply make partitions for ubuntu .. / and a /swap are all that are really needed a /home is wise to create but not a must [00:39] For some unknown reason, my ubuntu happens to be very slow at booting programs: vi or emqcs take approx 10s to launch from a terminal. Sometimes, a reboot suffices to fix that, but not always. And this problems appears immediately, not after a while of uptime. Known bug? [00:39] nerdparty; yes, [00:39] Wish me luck. [00:40] oh that 5gb included space for you to play with too :) === _Silhouette__ is now known as _Silhouette_ [00:40] bastid_raZor doesnt connect to server [00:40] thanks guys [00:40] Axioplase: no idea. What are your system specs. Are you running them from Gnome termnial? what version of ununtu? [00:40] axioplase: are you running azureus? [00:40] Is there a way I can make Compiz NOT minimize all windows when I switch desktops? [00:40] webtoe: err, gutsy on a 1.6Ghz laptop.. [00:40] dimas_; if you followed that guide to the letter it should work. :\ sorry i have to run [00:40] dinnterTime [00:40] elmer: yes [00:41] webtoe : well it happens with 7.10 , but I'm using 8.04 now [00:41] BSG75, could you tell me how? [00:41] or link a guide [00:41] according to strace, it seems to be polling/reading some ICEauthority related stuff, though I'm nt sure [00:41] elmer: it's one of the damn settings in advanced desktop effects settings [00:41] webtoe - it's definately a mem leak , but how do i troubleshoot / fix those? compile xorg from source? [00:41] BSG75, OK, I'll look there. Before I do do you know which one? [00:41] BSG75: I don't know if it was a joke, but no. It happens from the very boot time. Gnome itself takes several minutes to launch after I log in from gdm. [00:42] Axioplase: vi should be pretty nippy. Emacs is always a bit slower. What amoutn of RAM and what graphics card. Are you starting the console version of the graphical version of the programmes? [00:42] hegemon: [00:42] do you need a crossover cable or a straightthrough cable to connect two computers via ethernet? [00:42] elmer: good luck .. I knwo it's there .. I just dealt with the same annoying thing [00:42] max_: yes :P If you're using gutsy etc then this could be a firefox problem (if in doubt, blame firefox memory leaks) [00:42] and what do you need to do on each computer to share internet? [00:42] is there a way to view reverse dependencies? like, which packages installed on the system require on a given package? [00:42] webtoe: I run FBSD on that same laptop, and vi/emacs run within microseconds. I have an integrated intel graphic card [00:43] i have some issues with a particualr process, 'evolution-data-server' it occasionally load processort to 97-98% and stays there, anyone experience this? [00:43] How do I delete a user and their home directory at the same time? [00:43] max_: [00:43] BSG75, Yeah. It's kind of cryptic in this thing. I have no clue what one it is... [00:43] axioplase: it was a joke and wasn't .. but if you are having that issue from boot .. try hdparm and check things out from there [00:43] daedra crossover between, and set up forwarding on the one directly connected (firestarter can do that for you) [00:43] elmer: LOL I hear ya [00:44] tahlvin: userdel -r username [00:44] tahlvin: sudo deluser --remove-home username [00:44] nickrud: is firestarter a front end for iptables/netfilter [00:44] i win [00:44] webtoe: running vi from console is immediate though (but emacs still isn't) [00:44] gilster32 do you use evolution mail? if not, remove the package evolution data server and the rest of evolution [00:44] daedra yes [00:44] I guess it's related to some X crap, and that those apps wait for an event or something... [00:44] I am trying to figure out how to minimize thunderbird to the bloody tray .. I refuse to believe that they wrote an awesome app like tb and didn't put in minimize to tray option .. hell even nagwares that I don't want does that [00:45] axiplase: emacs never is. It depemnds on what lisp files it decides to compile when it starts. Mine is dog slow which is a pain in the arse [00:45] nickrud: no i actually dont use it at all. i was just wandering why it would be on to begin with. and why it goes into these high power processor mode [00:45] webtoe: 10s for a fresh install of emacs ? you must be joking. [00:45] gilster32 bug [00:45] BSG75, do you know if it's caused by an effect or what? [00:45] max_: its hard to diagnose without compiling with source and tracing. Do yo know what programmes you're using a lot of ? firefox? flash? [00:45] Guys, How do I re-install NetworkManager w.o any internet [00:45] axioplase: what does "top" say? are you running something that's hogging process? [00:45] nickrud: wow - that is so much simpler than ubuntu! [00:46] Its working :D [00:46] last resprt is reinstall [00:46] nickrud: I mean *windows [00:46] Axioplase: it depends on RAM, whether you're doing the GTK version or not [00:46] elmer: looking [00:46] BSG75 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2110 [00:46] thanks BSG75 [00:47] webtoe: a few deskbar applets. not more. Nothing terrble in top [00:47] nickrud: I found that .. but it doesn't have a download link [00:47] How do I install NetworkManager from the cd? [00:47] BSG75: Perhaps take at look at alltray, it can minimize apps which normally won't on their own. It's in the repos [00:47] or am I mistaken? [00:47] Axioplase: bear in mind, the latest 2.22 of emacs is no longer really a text editor. Its a lisp virtual machien basically with a load of the internal functions ported over to elisp [00:47] webtoe: xterm too takes a dozen or two seconds to launch... [00:47] genii: I have installed :) .. that will be my next step .. thank you :) [00:47] nickrud: is there a simplified mounting application in ubuntu? I'm dealing with ntfs [00:47] I really think that it's because of X somehow... [00:48] axiosplase: hmm, possibly a hard drive issue then. check dmesg. If you're using an IDE hard drive check that it is running 133Mhz rather than 33 [00:48] dangit [00:48] I changed a setting or something [00:48] I have no title bars [00:48] McGod, find /media/cdrom | grep network-manager and dpkg -i it [00:48] >.< [00:48] elmer: LOL [00:48] Axioplase: if it is, its because of the hardware driver probably [00:49] elmer: look into your Emerald theme manager [00:49] axiplase: are you starting emaccs as a gtk app or as a cli app? [00:49] BSG75 no, you're right. I tracked down the home page, seems to be obsolete. Sorry http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/installation.html [00:49] hi, somebody who can help me with my usb flash memory? [00:49] what is that add/remove menu thingy called [00:49] nickrud: hey don't be sorry .. you tried to help .. what more can I ask for :) [00:49] if u want to apt-get it? [00:49] BSG75, for the minimizing or title bars? [00:49] @Ssam you are thinking of synaptic [00:49] title bars [00:49] I fixed [00:49] it [00:49] woot [00:49] you da man :) [00:49] i have synaptic [00:49] lol [00:50] thanks === kamus is now known as zettairedo [00:50] daedra no, but doubleclicking the device in the filemanager will mount it [00:50] i want my debian to look as much like ubuntu as possibel [00:50] @Ssam , or you could use 'sudo apt-get programname' [00:50] georgeguitar, usb flash memory or flash drive? [00:50] axioplase: you need to apply a fuzzy regex to my typing as i keep spelling your name wrong... [00:50] So now all I need to do is figure out how to keep the windows open when I switch desktops [00:50] hi! im trying to install ubuntu.. but when i try to do partitionate the hd... it gaves me some error (its not especified...) then i try to do the partitioning using G part and i get the same error... can some1 tell me whats wrong? ask me and ill send you the images via imageshack url (or can i paste em in the channel?) [00:50] i cant even seem to log out as user :/ [00:50] Okay, just made myself admin, now what do I do to delete a user and their home directory again? [00:50] brb [00:50] @Ssam` - That is strange... any messages? [00:51] wtf: Better to just type in here exactly what it says in the error, vague or not [00:51] nope....u click quit it lists logout and shutdown and reboot are unclickable unless ur root [00:51] and debian people are ignoring this issue [00:51] jeewiz [00:51] nickrud: it doesn't mount writeable [00:51] it makes the gpart to crash u.U [00:52] webtoe : something tells me its a graphics thing... im using compiz [00:52] genni: I read your message to wtf and thought you were mad :) [00:52] it says nothing but error [00:52] hello [00:52] and it can't [00:52] one said its a security thing...but i am using Xfce and there isnt a graphical user management [00:52] i need a bit of info [00:52] wtf, how many hdd are you partitioning? How many partitions are you creating at a time? [00:52] can i paste here the url to the snaopshots? [00:52] Does Downloader for X automatically integrate with Firefox? [00:52] wtf: Are you trying to make some partition with a filesystem like ntfs or xfs or similar? [00:52] wtf: yes [00:52] @Ssam` - Ah-hah! I see... Lemme find the name of the program, you should be able to apt-get that and take care of it. [00:53] max_: maybe, what graphics card you using? and what ubunut? [00:53] if i am a hardcore gamer and install ubuntu can i still play my games at full performance? [00:53] 1 hd and 1 partition in the 1st half with 4 logic partitions [00:53] ok, I don't think my xorg is acutally reading from the xorg.conf file [00:53] gah fredorik [00:53] anyone know a workaround? [00:53] rofl [00:53] thanks man owe u one if u do that [00:53] Chronix, some games will work in Cedega, but not all [00:53] http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdevsdagpartedyg6.png [00:53] SSam` - You should 'sudo apt-get install users-admin' [00:54] http://img404.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorox2.png [00:54] BSG75, any luck with the setting? [00:54] daedra then you will need to set up /etc/fstab, something like: UUID= /media/ ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 . device is the /dev/ [00:54] which is why i come here instead of debian usually....i still like ubuntu just waiting for the new release [00:54] does anyone really good with wireless problems [00:54] What's the command to delete a user and their home directory? userdel ... something? [00:54] i updated to feisty and now my wireless doesnt work [00:54] SSam` - That will give you the gui, make sure to run this with sudo, hopefully after that, you can edit your permissions and get this straightened out. [00:54] nerdparty: sudo deluser --remove-home username [00:54] evil! [00:54] Thankyou. [00:54] but I guess I learned something today xD [00:54] there isnt a users-admin [00:54] hi, when typing in the console some of my letters overlap each other. I already changing the font etc but it doesn't help. Any ideas? [00:55] Ssam` - Yea these people are usually very helpful. I've been on Ubuntu for a while, started out on suse... Oh.. umm... lemme check around real quick. [00:55] is there a ubuntu packages? [00:55] *tried changing [00:55] Mr_Bad_News: you are having problems with feisty wireless? what wireless card do you have? [00:55] geZe, I don't know if this is possible, but is overwrite on? [00:55] ill download it and install it manually [00:55] intel centrino web_knows [00:55] webtoe, [00:55] no [00:55] Ssam` - Yea, that's a good idea [00:55] it was working fine until i upgraded [00:55] hmmm, you're the second person who has called me web_knows... [00:55] it also doesn't happen with all letters, only long ones [00:56] webtoe - well , im using ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 on a Geforce 6800, but it also happened on my laptop which is a ATI Radeon, and had mem leaks with that using desktop effects under XGL. remember its only the xorg process that is mem leaked [00:56] yea.....ubuntu people are pretty helpfull and tolerent if u go on other channels for help and ur a newbie theyll just say RTFM even though u have Read the friendly manual [00:56] typo sorry [00:56] will ubuntu affect me playing counter-strike:source? [00:56] O.o it sounds like it's limiting how much you can type per line... [00:56] Depends how you run it Chronix [00:56] mh, no, fore example if i type two m, it is already overlapping [00:56] ooh [00:56] Muahahaha! I am now admin and the only user! [00:56] Mr_Bad_News: do you know the exact chip? It should be reported by sudo lspci -vv [00:56] looks like an m with an n in the middle [00:57] Ssam` - Yea, I've seen that and it kinda angers me. There are people that want to learn, not just get everything on a plate and served to them. The people who know should help out. Everyone has problems at one point or another, even guru's. That is the mentality open source was build on. [00:57] Is there a way I can make Compiz NOT minimize all windows when I switch desktops? [00:57] i hate wpa [00:57] hi. anyone here using aptana? im trying to figure out the best method of install. for some reason its not in the repos.. [00:57] fredorik: try asking your question without first having send malicious commands to IRC users. [00:57] geZe, are you using Konsole or Terminal? [00:57] hi, somebody who can help me with my usb flash memory? [00:57] terminal [00:57] nerdparty; excellent.. now you have the power [00:57] Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection [00:57] webtoe: I have an idea: a bad /etc/host file... I remember having that a while ago... need to restart X to be sure... bbl [00:57] what's your keyboard layout set to? [00:57] Chronix: If you are a hardcore Windows gamer I'd suggest just keeping it around and dual boot. Many games don't work that great under wine or cedega. [00:57] anybody looked at my screenies? something wrong? [00:57] max_: its difficult to say still. Drivers are implemented as modudels for X so they'll show up under its memory footprint. It could be any number of X problems [00:57] lol everyone starts somewhere [00:58] Generic 105-key (Intl) PC, german layout [00:58] Ssam` - Agreed [00:58] elmer: are you switching desktop via keyboard? [00:58] ummm ill google ubuntu's repository [00:58] have you tried changing keyboard layout? [00:58] webtoe, it shows up in my network-admin [00:58] Ssam` - I'll do the same and see what I come up with [00:58] and it says i have 99% connection [00:58] aight thanks [00:58] georgeguitar, what's wrong with your Flash drive? [00:58] but it only recieves one packet at a time [00:58] and doesnt send any out [00:58] mh, no. you think that could help? because it is typing the right letters [00:58] okay, I did a stupid thing... I managed to change the path to the default Text Editor application in gnome... Does anyone have the default path handy? [00:59] BSG75, yes, and even the Cube does it [00:59] max_: as its showing under X it maybe due to xgl? [00:59] in 7.10 [00:59] whereis gedit SunRayCafe === bruenig is now known as bruenig_ [00:59] sorry, I'm trying @_@ [00:59] my screenies are ignored :'( im already frustated installing linux and i didnt even get started [00:59] elmer: so ctr alt left and right? [00:59] nickrud: the problem is it gets mounted in /media because its a usb plugged in NTFS === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [00:59] I guess I shouldn't mislead you, I'm not entirely sure what's going on... [00:59] wtf, can you resend the links? [00:59] Ssam`; an easy way to search to see if a package exists is either in synaptic or on the website :: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [00:59] Isn't it "sudo xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.uk" to change keyboard layout? [00:59] Mr_Bad_News, ah! thanks much!! [00:59] np [00:59] BSG75, actually when I alt+ctrl left or right it just switches to the same desktop with now windows [00:59] http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdevsdagpartedyg6.png [01:00] BSG75, but the switcher works in the corner, it just minimizes all of the window [01:00] http://img404.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorox2.png [01:00] thanks bastid_raZor [01:00] thanks Mifuyne [01:00] np [01:00] wtf: that root is massive [01:00] hi Mifuyne, thank, I was trying to use my usb modem and I wrote this rmmod usb-storage to allow the usb modem works as a modem, but now the automount is not working [01:00] that is a lot of partitions... [01:00] Mr_Bad_News. two secs [01:00] hmm [01:01] k [01:01] i am unable to copy files from a data dvd i tried using a file manager first then tried sudo cp -R /media/cdrom/file /home/cricket/file and i get this message: cp: reading `1000 Homo DJs/[1990] supernaut/01 - supernaut.mp3': Input/output error does anyone know how to fix this? [01:01] bruening you mean /boot? or /? [01:01] i am on Xfce it will work on that right [01:01] elmer: hmm weird .. under General options.. you do have 4 virtual horizontal and 1 vertical virtual and number of desktop 1 right? [01:01] BSG75, yes === kirby is now known as Charitwo [01:01] wtf: / [01:01] wtf: if you are separating off a /home, there is no reason that needs to be bigger than 10 GB [01:02] BSG75, number of desktops 1? [01:02] rly? [01:02] elmer: yeah [01:02] Ssam` - It should, debian isn't too far removed, this package should be fine [01:02] Webspot: I think that was that.. [01:02] elmer: 4 virtual horizontal [01:02] Mr_Bad_News: Not sure. Is this any help http://odzangba.wordpress.com/2007/05/15/intel-corporation-prowireless-2200bg-amilo-pro-v2000-ubuntu/ [01:02] aight [01:02] Mifuyne, and now I can't even see the usb flash memory [01:02] Hello all..Does anyone know when the system is changing to 8.4? [01:02] you wanna give me a pm .. we can go through our settings if you want [01:02] still downloading [01:02] georgeguitar, try: sudo modprobe usb-storage [01:02] bruening... but that shouldnt end in an error, did it? :S [01:02] an old static IP in /etc/hosts for the local machine name.. (I moved to a different network) [01:02] Axiosplase:that work? That's a new interpretation of my name... [01:02] bruening ill put it less, but it gets me the error [01:03] and name resolution by X took ages [01:03] BSG75, when I switched it to 1 desktop it just put all my windows on this desktop [01:03] Mifuyne, ok I'll try it [01:03] anyway [01:03] webtoe: that's a completion error :) [01:03] BSG75, IT WORKS! [01:03] Who is on Hardy? === vix is now known as vix85 [01:03] BSG75, thanks [01:03] how do i edit/view mimetypes in ubuntu? [01:03] !hardy | Unxuxu [01:03] Unxuxu: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [01:03] georgeguitar, if that doesn't work, try: sudo insmod usb-storage [01:03] cricket___: have you been able to get this to work on another machine? are you sure its not just the machine buggered? [01:03] elmer: you are welcome :) [01:04] I now deserve a quiet and relaxed night... [01:04] Mifuyne, ok [01:04] webtoe: cheers [01:04] Recently I've been losing the ability to actually move around the windows on my desktop (dragging from the title bar, alt+grab, and the move menu selection all don't do anything), sometimes on a single window, but more recently on every window and even after rebooting. I'm using GL Desktop, does anyone have any idea what might be causing it? [01:04] axioplase: its just that a couple of people have misspelled my name in the same way. I think pidgin or something is auto correcting my name... [01:04] Hey again. I know I've probably asked this before, but I can't seem to remember... I understand the concept of mounting, but if I have a system that doesn't automount, and I stick a USB key in the computer, how do I know where the device is present in the system in order to mount it? [01:05] Mifuyne, I have this error with the insmod, the first It didn't work [01:05] insmod: can't read 'usb-storage': No such file or directory [01:05] oh yeah i used on both os x and windows [01:05] webtoe: we in irssi. And a chan with more than 1000 people makes completion errors very frequent [01:05] hmm [01:05] @Draggin you could user 'sudo fdisk -l' to get a list of everydisk on the system [01:05] anyway.. [01:05] Does "Download for X" automatically integrate with Firefox? [01:05] Will my system automatically upgrade to 8.04? [01:05] georgeguitar, you've tried disconnecting and reconnecting your flash drive, right? [01:05] Draggin, you could try to guess which it might be in /dev or read dmesg to see the usb driver information [01:05] can anyone help me with Wake-on-LAN? My NIC turns off when I go into standby or when I halt [01:05] Draggin: chekc dmesg. Type it at a command prompt and it will tel you what it detected when the stick was stuck in. You can then mount it [01:05] hi. anyone here using aptana? im trying to figure out the best method of install. for some reason its not in the repos.. [01:06] Mifuyne, yes [01:06] Im having a WINE problem. Installed the package but it will not open. I see it under Application, but again it won't open. Tried remove and package and reinstalling it but that didn't do anything either. Any help please? [01:06] Wow... lots of info... Let me check those out... Thanks :) [01:06] @redips1: it will show in your update manager on the release date, or you can get it early (in beta form of course) [01:06] !wine [01:06] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [01:06] Tu13es: It will do, those are power saving modes [01:06] hey guys. i've got apache using mod_dav_svn, for subversion. apache itself is serving up my pages fine, but when i navigate to my , it gives me a forbidden 403 message. Any ideas? [01:06] georgeguitar, gimme a sec [01:06] Mifuyne, ok [01:06] webtoe: hm? [01:06] Im having a WINE problem. Installed the package but it will not open. I see it under Application, but again it won't open. Tried remove and package and reinstalling it but that didn't do anything either. Any help please? [01:06] hello ppl [01:07] Thanks for the help!

[01:07] @redips1: of course :) [01:07] nerdparty: you mean, apt-get? [01:07] hi all. I have an Ubuntu NIS Server and Ubuntu Clients. How can I change the password in the client machine ? [01:07] i am having a hard time ejecting/unmounting my external drive....ubuntu keeps telling me that the drive can not be ejected, also that it 'still has information to write to the drive' but im not running anything from that drive....can anyone help me with this please? [01:07] ok bye [01:08] Well, I'm out Ssam`: I hope that fixes your login issue. If not, you could look up how to edit users with bash. [01:08] Everyone have a good night! [01:08] rycole: I don't know, I think it's called unrar-free and I just got it through Synaptic. [01:08] nerdparty: oh, never heard of it. i usually use apt-get. [01:08] nerdparty; you can read the doc for it by using man unrar in a terminal [01:08] awww :( [01:08] how to install drivers for my ati radeon xpress 1100? [01:08] broken dependencies [01:08] sry to jump in here but does anyone know a solution to hooking my phone up through usb ? [01:08] aight samurailink3 thanks [01:08] bastid_raZor: How do I do that? [01:09] Tu13es: If a machine is sleeping, it probably won't wake up [01:09] nerdparty; open up a terminal then type man unrar [01:09] how do i change screen resolution with the cli? [01:09] webtoe: it should, though [01:09] webtoe and Hamled... I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what I'm seeing when I type dmesg... What am I looking for in there? [01:09] tick: depends on the phone and how you are trying to connect it to your machien [01:09] georgeguitar, do you know if you've done anything else? [01:10] sung a707 and usb cable:) [01:10] Draggin, try dmesg | grep usb [01:10] err samsung [01:10] Anyone know why when I click on WINE to start it won't open? I installed ventrilo which was working before, but now when I start it up it just says its opening but won't open and the tab closes [01:10] Is GNU Texinfo the same as the command "info" ? [01:10] anyone...? [01:10] Tu13es: Why should it? if your machien is sleeping or hibernating its waiting for user input. Its up to the bioes to tell it to wake up, and typically that is done from shut down, not hibernate of sleep. [01:10] I have this external usb NTFS drive that mounts in /media - how do I make it mount writeable in /mnt ? [01:10] tu13es: that's my understanding anyway [01:11] cbrr - sorry I have no idea, I'm running nVidia [01:11] I'm having a problem, every time I boot my computer it comes up with the ubuntu is running in low graphics mode, if I reinstall the nvidia driver and restart x it's fine.. until I reboot again.. any ideas what I've managed to do wrong? [01:11] Anyone know why when I click on WINE to start it won't open? I installed ventrilo which was working before, but now when I start it up it just says its opening but won't open and the tab closes [01:11] hi. does anyone else's laptop with gutsy get an "inu" message when resuming that freezes the laptop? [01:11] Hello , i have an issue with playing mp4 format. The issue is that it shows the movie but does not play the audio.. can anyone suggest me the required codec [01:11] tick : you need to check dmesg, see if your phone is recognised as a phone device [01:12] hello, all [01:12] i am having a hard time ejecting/unmounting my external drive....ubuntu keeps telling me that the drive can not be ejected, also that it 'still has information to write to the drive' but im not running anything from that drive....can anyone help me with this please? [01:12] binvij : What media player are you using? [01:12] Draggin: ok thanks i'm searching 4 solution in google anyway [01:12] Draggin: you need to look in dmesg for somethign relating to sda [01:12] It says there's no manual entry when I try "man unrar" [01:12] vlc media player [01:12] Mifuyne, humm at the beginning I just followed this tutorial: http://www.nabble.com/3-Mobile-USB-modem-td16208164.html [01:13] webtoe - okay... About that - what exactly does 'sda' mean? I see my hard drives are also detected as sda and not the (apparently) standard hda [01:13] binvij : Try opening it in Totem Player. There should be a option to view the Video's properties. Try looking in there. [01:13] Mifuyne, the section that says: OK - PRETTY MUCH DISREGARD MOST [01:13] nerdparty; did you install unrar or just look at it from synaptic .. try sudo apt-get install unrar [01:13] georgeguitar, I found it [01:13] Draggin: yeah don't worry. The kernel decided to call IDE drives hd something [01:13] hi. does anyone else's laptop with gutsy get an "inu" message when resuming that freezes the laptop? [01:13] i am trying to compile sqlite and i am getting this error: http://dpaste.com/43845/ [01:14] Does anyone know a good tool to create crosswords? [01:14] i missing some build packages or something? [01:14] Draggin: and devices that are vaguely like SCSI devices sd somthing [01:14] webtoe, ah, okay, so its because I have SATA drives then I guess? [01:14] Draggin, sda is drive #1, sdb is drive 2, sdc is drive 3.. sda1 is first partition, sda2 is partition 2 etc. [01:14] georgeguitar, have you tried restarting the X Server? Try to disconnect the usb modem first [01:14] Draggin: because of the way usb flash disks were developed, they are classed under the SCSI naming scheme [01:14] when i double click on mp4 it opens up in totem. in the properties section the audio area is greyed out [01:14] Draggin: sdX devices used to be for SCSI device names. Ubuntu has shifted from hdX to sdX perhaps 2 releases ago now [01:14] i dont believe it is [01:14] webtoe, thanks, let me have a look if I can make sense of dmesg again... [01:14] hmmm [01:14] am i missing a codec.. .everything else plays fine [01:15] the output didnt list it [01:15] Draggin: as I think someone suggested try dmesg | grep sd [01:15] binvij, try it with gxine.. solved some of my issues.. or vlc.. [01:15] binvij : Did you install the Ubuntu Restricted Package? [01:15] georgeguitar, try sudo insmod usb_storage [01:15] that should cull the crap you get when you type dmesg [01:15] webtoe - thanks, I'll try that [01:15] Mifuyne, ok, I'll do it, just wait me, because I'm using the usb modem to be connected to Internet [01:15] not by name anyway [01:15] okay [01:15] but try the usb_storage one first [01:15] webtoe: know of any way on getting details of my running modules? at the least just a list of the running ones? [01:16] yes i did install ubuntu restricted packages .. and the other media formats are working fine [01:16] although you should be doing this after you plugged your flash drive [01:16] hi [01:16] ok [01:16] max_: for x? look in /var/log/Xorg.0.org === JohnM_ is now known as JohnMM [01:17] bastid_raZor: I'm positive that I got it from Synaptic. [01:17] max_: it will say what modules its trying to load [01:17] i need help changing the screen resolutino. going through system prefrences and screen resolution has no effect [01:17] nerdparty; did you try the apt-get command i gave you? [01:18] phs5555; how about system>administration>screens and graphics? [01:18] ok still no metion of my phone [01:18] It says "Unable to lock the administrative directory, is another process using it?" [01:19] nerdparty; close synaptic. [01:19] how do i set /etc/vga/libvga.config to my touch pad mouse? [01:19] i see options, but i dont know how to check which mouse i should set it to [01:19] i installed openobex [01:19] HELLO, I INSTALLED OSS AND SKYPE DOES NOT WORK NOW, THERE WAS A COMMAND FOR FIXING THIS, ANYONE REMEMBER? [01:19] <_linuxftw> Hey, how would I go about installing nvidia drivers on ubuntu? (X won't start) [01:19] bastid_raZor: Okay, i did that and did the apt-get and installed it, now how do I use it? [01:19] Chris|, on my laptop the touchpad is /dev/input/psaux or /dev/psaux [01:19] piqoni, can't you just uninstall OSS? [01:20] i want a command to know my LAN ip and my internet ip [01:20] piqoni, why not use Alsa? [01:20] I think thers a ubuntu skype wiki page. [01:20] that might help Dr_willis [01:20] !skype [01:20] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [01:20] !ip [01:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about ip - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:20] because my headphones do not work with alsa [01:20] nerdparty; in that terminal try man unrar ... that is going to give you a list of syntax's for you to use with the unrar command in a terminal [01:20] Every time I turn my computer on, it goes into low graphics mode and I have to reinstall my nVidia drivers every time. any way out? [01:20] O.o [01:20] are they usb? [01:20] binvij : Did you check if you muted your speakers? other than that, i am still looking for a codec viewer or something :| [01:20] i want a command to know my LAN ip and my internet ip [01:21] binvij : haha [01:21] by the way, even with oss they dont work, I mean they DO WORK, but with low volume, and the speakers of laptop dont mute when I plug the headphonse [01:21] nerdparty; since it is installed if you are in the GUI and double click .rar file it will automatically use unrar. [01:21] tick: sorry, that was my fault. Was following several conversations. What are you trying to do then? Connect via bluetooth? [01:21] for this, ubuntu is horrible [01:21] Are these headphones connected via USB? [01:21] Cle0, 'ifconfig' for the local ip# [01:21] binvij : you could try playing it in different players. Did you try Mplayer? [01:21] i know this [01:21] no just usb cable [01:21] no (please right my name so I can see the highlight [01:21] nerdparty; do you have any .rar files to test CLI or the GUI methods?

[01:22] richard: this video is downloaded from google in mp4 format [01:23] tick: it depends on the phone. My nokia e65 doesn't show up using the usb cable but on bluetooth its fin [01:23] e [01:23] binvij : Google Video?

I have the same problem for you and couldnt connect. I checked out the Ndiswrapper website and it told me thats all that I would be able to do and not connect. So thats why i was asking if you use windows drivers?

[01:55] Frogger62: make a backup of xorg config first: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.bak} [01:55] anyone here has played the fps urban terror? [01:55] anyone know how to set up internet connection sharing i have a computer with 2 cards one is a wireless card which connects to the internet, The other is a ethernet card that connects to my xbox. I want the ethernet forwarded to the internet through my wireless\ [01:55] thin possibly or maybe it wasnt started. [01:55] georgeguitar, honestly, I'm stumped...I can't see why modprobe or insmod isn't working for you =/ [01:55] so ethernet to xbox ; wireless to internet so then ; Ethernet to wireless = both get internet access. [01:56] thin did you say you could see wireless networks? [01:56] BarryToeman: After rebooting (using the LiveCD) will the resticted drivers still work? [01:56] well there's a lot of accurate info about my wirelss adapter in the device manager window, so i assumed it was working [01:56] sorry i also asked this in kubuntu [01:56] how do i tell for sure? [01:56] zero88: i found drivers for the adapter online but the file is a .exe. will that be a problem? [01:56] have anyone noticed that xchat seem to render font differently from the rest of gnome? [01:56] yes i'm on a pc and mac right now wirelessly [01:56] Mifuyne, How can I know that the module is loaded? [01:56] remember when I told you to use lsmod > lsmod.txt [01:56] lsmod lists the loaded mod [01:56] max_, Any suggestions? [01:56] > lsmod.txt tells it to send the output into that file [01:56] thierry set the LANG setting in bash to en_US.UTF-8 or just en might work [01:57] so, I suggest you open that file and search for usb_storage [01:57] lewench just a sec [01:57] Will the restricted drivers still be in use if I reboot using the LiveCD? [01:57] it isn't just missing on its own, it's missing from the usbcore module [01:57] max_, K [01:57] Jester009, Not sure. If I remember correctly you might need to get the files from the .exe .You need two files only. I think it was a .inf and something else.Let me see. [01:57] Frogger62: no. [01:57] ok, I'll see [01:58] and why usb-storage or usb_storage is deemed as missing is kinda strange [01:58] Dang. How do I do it then? I don't have an extra HD I can use here. [01:58] I got this error when i loaded clamtk with sudo [01:58] Warning: No virus definitions found!

[01:58] Frogger62: if you install ubuntu onto the hard drive, then changes will be persistent [01:58] actually what i really want is bsd sed [01:59] Mifuyne, the file doesn't have usb_storage, how can I reinstall the usbcore?

[02:13] he left :o === __Lokii- is now known as Lokii- [02:13] genii, where exactly can i find the file sources.list ? [02:13] Need help with nvidia drivers, see:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4680700 [02:13] hello everybody [02:13] CrackGuy: Only the alternate cd can be used as an offline repository, not the regular livecd. [02:13] I mean :( [02:14] hi [02:14] CrackGuy: edit the sources.list with: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:14] do i need to have xserver-xgl installed? [02:14] somebody can help me [02:14] brainiac8008: did you try reseating the ram? Also put in an ubuntu install disc and try the memtest option to test for bad ram. [02:14] ? [02:14] genii, oh, i think i have the live cd. i downloaded it ubuntu image online and burnt it, is that livecd? [02:15] i have just one or two questions ? [02:15] yea [02:15] CrackGuy: If it boots to a graphical desktop, that is the regular livecd, yes. [02:15] Christophe_, don,t ask to ask [02:15] rectec794613: yeah but i'm confusing. [02:15] Christophe_: that was one...you have one left. [02:15] just kidding [02:15] barrytoeman, i found the answer. check it out: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management#The_mysterious_880_MB_limit_on_x86 [02:15] can someone tell me if ubuntu will work with an external usb modem? [02:15] genii, yes it does. i will try to get system online [02:16] anyone? [02:16] brainiac8008: i've never run into that problem before [02:16] Mifuyne, nothing [02:17] dmesg came up with nothing at all? [02:17] anyone using FreeNas as a file server with Ubuntu? [02:17] im on powerpc and i want to know if a linux application can be installed on any architecture or not : for example in fedora [02:17] barrytoeman, me neither. idk but that must be my problem. do you know how i can change it? the article says make menuconfig but it doesnt work [02:17] okay, georgeguitar, I actually got that from this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52197 [02:17] georgeguitar, the last post suggest you search up linux-image-* and reinstall it [02:17] !tab | brainiac8008 [02:17] brainiac8008: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:17] how to upgrade when it says "could not download release notes" [02:17] Mifuyne, yes it says: usbcore: deregistering interface driver usb-storage [02:18] at the end [02:18] my computer has an old nvidea tnt2 video card, why can' i set the resolution higher than 800x600? i have the legasy driver installed, and before i did it would go larger than that [02:18] georgeguitar, O.o weird... [02:18] Christophe_, usually, but you may need to compile yourself [02:18] Christophe_: most binaries compiled on one architecture won't work on another [02:18] well, like I said, try to reinstall linux-image and you'll probably have to restart [02:18] Mifuyne, may be is because I've created a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d [02:18] is it hard to copile or its just take the package and make "yum" ... ? [02:19] bleh, I probably should've read that page more thoroughly [02:19] brainiac8008: i'm not sure. sorry about that. [02:19] georgeguitar, if you did, remove it [02:19] Christophe_: the package manager should automatically get the rioght binaries for your architecture [02:19] BarryToeman: k. thanks anyway [02:19] Christophe_, this isn,t fedora support [02:19] georgeguitar, I'd be surprised if that doesn't fix it [02:19] i have found drivers for a touch screen for mandrake or redhat would they work for ubuantu? [02:19] *right [02:20] anyone know a good distribution for a linux newb other then ubuntu? [02:20] Mifuyne, ok, I'll do it, just wait me, I'll remove it and restart all over again [02:20] brainiac8008: at least try some other ram or a memtest if you have any before messing around with the kernel. [02:20] alrighty, I'll be here [02:20] phs5555, get the redhat one and use alien to make it a .deb [02:20] yes but if a aplication is not on the package manager ... how to know if the application will work ? [02:20] Christophe_: and why don't you get a distribution that has ppc packages? [02:20] BarryToeman: okay. can i do a memtest via the terminal [02:20] Hello, how to upgrade when it says "could not download release notes" [02:20] sorry new here whats alien?

[02:22] ropoy: what are you upgrading to? [02:22] CrackGuy: If you have another ubuntu box and some removable thing like usb stick, you can d/l only any install files by mounting the media somewhere like /mnt/tmp. Then: echo 'dir::cache::archives "/mnt/tmp"' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf then issue: sudo apt-get install --download-only samba then sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf , unmount the media, put it in machine without internet and copy the files to [02:22] /var/cache/apt/archives where you should be able to install them [02:22] i'm trying to find out if ubuntu can use a usb modem [02:22] brainiac8008: probably, but i've never tried. there is an option for it on an install disc [02:22] 7.04 to 7.10 [02:22] Sorry for long post guys [02:22] i accidentally cancelled the last upgrade attempt [02:22] in order to be more precise, i want to have 3 protocols : soulseek , mule and torrent [02:23] BarryToeman: o right it's on startup of the livecd. brb [02:23] evening folks [02:23] nvidia drivers hate me [02:23] no, they hate linux [02:23] but i don't know if these application packages exists on the powerpc architecture [02:24] jrib, do you know anything that i will have to edit [02:24] ropoy: what program are you using to upgrade? [02:24] I remember reading somewhere that ubuntu has problems with usb modems but i'm assuming the problems are with the newer thumbdrive sized modems. What i need to know is if the usb modem is controller based will ubuntu have a probelm with it or not [02:24] the update manager [02:24] Christophe_, there should be torrent clients for powerpc. not sure about the other 2 since i dont use them [02:24] pleasedontspamme, me in particular [02:24] Hello, im having an issue when playing a song with amarok I get this error: No suitable input plugin.

[02:36] What is a way I can completely format my hard drive, I get a unable to read block 0 with fsck and i can't mkfs.ext3 either [02:37] Mifuyne, yes that was the problem, the rule was unloading the module usb_storage, this was the script: http://blog.ufsoft.org/2007/11/30/zte-mf622-usb-modem-under-linux [02:37] so when "grub" comes up and its the command line.. can I type something to bring up the graphical interface? [02:38] for some reason the scroll wheel and touch pad scroll area dont respond unless i start xev. [02:38] georgeguitar, oh =/ [02:38] Phoenix2, when grub comes up you just select the first option , and hit enter and it will boot ubuntu [02:38] jrib my /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release is blank [02:39] georgeguitar, there's gotta be a better way of surpressing the module without taking it out of the picture entirely... [02:39] Does anyone know when the release party channel will be opened? I remember last time it was a few days before the release... [02:39] formatting partitioning? anyone? [02:39] caveymason: what about it? [02:40] there are no options... its is just a console in which I can type things [02:40] i have un partitioned space is there ayway i can partitoin from in ubuntu after the instalation [02:40] ropoy: hmmm, now we have the issue that I don't remember how it was in feisty. Give me a sec [02:40] Phoenix2: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (I think) [02:40] Has anyone ever hear of an issue where the scroll wheel doesn't work unless xev is started? I have a bluetooth mouse and the touchpad on my laptop, but do not work unless xev is started. [02:40] caveymason: use gparted. [02:40] anyone have a good wireless card suggestion for gutsy? [02:40] jrib okies [02:40] hey guys i want to confirm something. does the 386 kernel support up to 900mb of ram, but none more? [02:40] odd-ratinale do i have to download that? [02:40] Mifuyne, yes, instead of doing all automatically, I found that is just enough to unmount the usb modem and then it starts working as a modem and it creates the ttyUSB that I need [02:41] caveymason: yes. sudo apt-get install gparted [02:41] georgeguitar, probably easier and less problematic that way :) [02:41] caveymason: or use synaptic [02:41] poop im updating [02:41] ill try that [02:41] ropoy: while you wait, does 'locate meta-release' return anything? [02:41] brb [02:42] how do I hide ntfs volumes from nautilus sidebar? [02:42] jrib it returns a blank page [02:42] What command can i do to list my hard drive partitions?

[02:43] ropoy: it would return a list of files if anything [02:43] Mifuyne, yes, I really sorry to have waste your time, I never thought that the script was the problem, but thank you very much for all your help, with you I will never guess what was happening [02:43] georgeguitar, hey no worries :) [02:43] BarryToeman: 386 is default for the livecd right? [02:43] genii: thanks [02:43] georgeguitar, just glad it worked out :D [02:43] brainiac8008: i'm not sure. i don't use the live ever.

I am using Ubuntu 7.10 [02:45] brainiac8008: nay [02:46] georgeguitar, personally, I found Ubuntu gives me a lot less trouble...I even managed to revive a dying laptop with Ubuntu (bad HDD) :) [02:46] brainiac8008, ohh,no idea... [02:46] It should be on the Ubuntu 7.10 CD. [02:46] spl0it: just a pointer, stay away from broadcom. although I have gotten both of my broadcom to work, I've heard not so good results from others...

[02:54] not me [02:54] ropoy: k, what is the output of 'update-manager --help' [02:54] Phoenix2: it may be just /etc/gdm start [02:55] HELP me please! I cant mount my windows partition. It is listed as /dev/hda1 ntfs with 'fdisk -l', but 'mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1' returns an error [02:55] arvind_khadri, i was looking for command free ;) [02:55] Mko: do you have a support question? [02:55] *oh yes, defragging windows is really a must [02:55] im going to try and install kbuntu.. ill be back [02:55] Christina18: what error does it give you? [02:55] yeah [02:55] ropoy: ah, no '-c' needed in 7.04 it seems. Just drop it [02:55] Mko, give us ur querry [02:55] linkinxp, oh :) i dont know command free [02:55] whats the best firewall?

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). [02:56] iptables -P OUTPUT DROP && iptables -P INPUT DROP is the best firewall [02:56] okies, jrib it opened the update manager and it say the system is fully up to date [02:56] hey all what the command to start/stop/restart GDM? [02:56] SeaPhor: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [02:56] Mko, linux/unix OS come with default firewall's known as iptables...use man iptables [02:56] SeaPhor: (or of course stop or start) [02:57] ip [02:57] bazhang, Odd-rationale, see http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm - this made me think i must resize in vista. i guess i trust gparted more than vista's program for partitions anyway lol [02:57] SeaPhor: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start/stop/restart as well [02:57] ropoy: no offer to upgrade? [02:57] as in the amount [02:57] arvind_khadri: My best time was 11 minutes to restore from a backup image and I thought that was way to long. I get the question on time variation though - maybe a different configuration of the drives or a different vendor of CDs, it does make a difference. I had an old HP cdwriter - 8x I think - it would work fine being secondary to a Western Digital drive, but wouldn't write if it was secondary to a Maxtor. Weird. [02:57] ? [02:57] TY :-)) [02:57] Mko: amount? [02:57] of ip tables [02:58] Phoenix2: did you catch those? [02:58] jrib there is no offer upgrade, [02:58] how can i make a folder on my ubuntu available to other ubuntu on the wireless home network? [02:58] linuxmonger, :) my time variations were on the same specs,no changes in hardware :) [02:58] Mko: iptables is a command, not a thing. [02:58] ropoy: how did you get one before? [02:58] brainiac8008: if with vista, you can only decrease the sixe to a certain amount at a time. 25% i *think* [02:58] what programs would you use for linux to do backup and recovery like ghost or acronis would for windows?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [02:59] er, [02:59] caveymason: use sudo [02:59] jrib: there was an upgrade option, i upgraded but an officemate of mine accidentally cancelled it [02:59] Starnestommy: I did [02:59] that's ssh in debug mode [02:59] ssh -vvv [02:59] brainiac8008: no even with gparted [02:59] and now it says could not download release note [02:59] i need a key [02:59] Christina18: are you sure that that's the right partition?

My first burner was a 486 DX2-80 with SCSI and dual speed burners. [03:00] BarryToeman, arvind_khadri, bazhang, Odd-rationale, ty for your help. i have to go. cya guys. [03:00] Ademan you there? [03:00] bye brainiac8008 [03:01] brainiac8008, you are always welcome [03:01] Christina18: I'm not sure what could be causing it other than a bad filesystem [03:01] jrib its the same [03:01] why would you need kaspersky with ubuntu? [03:01] lol [03:01] ok [03:01] dont encourage him [03:01] CrackGuy: still searching, i don't think there's an easy way to go about this [03:01] does ubuntu support the Turbo Memory 'drives' (NAND Flash memory) on high-end mobos? Or some other kinds of linux extensions/programs do this? [03:01] is there a linux version of kaspersky? [03:01] how can i make a folder on my ubuntu available to other ubuntu on the wireless home network? [03:01] !feeding the troll [03:01] The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. [03:02] Ademan hmm, thanks [03:02] linuxmonger, i tried to burn images,they dont work fine,live-cd's of gutsy are cranky,fiesty was smoothly smooth [03:02] ok, i just changed monitors, and ubuntu has not detected it, so its blank screen [03:02] jrib: now it can no longer download the repository index [03:02] CrackGuy: out of curiosity what good is samba if you have no internet connection anyways? [03:02] ropoy: okay, so what is the output you got from the shell? [03:02] lol, i was about to suggest to him the best windows antivirus out there, format c: === ethan961 is now known as TheEasterBunny [03:03] Ademan i need it for my local network to share files and stuff [03:03] and install ubuntu === code_kill is now known as Drex [03:03] hi, when unbutu poweroff, does it write the clock time to bios?

I have plenty of RAM... [03:04] CrackGuy: rather unfortunate... lol... ubuntu without an internet connection is pretty crappy in my opinion, makes things incredibly hard [03:05] Ademan yeah :) [03:05] CrackGuy: if you had internet you would just click on the samba package, hit install, then apply, and you'd be good to go... as it is... ugh lol [03:05] how do i share a folder with another ubuntu? [03:05] hey. I'm trying to install ubuntu 6.10 because it's the most recent cd i have at the moment. I get two errors on boot. One says Mp-bios bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC.

[03:07] Ademan am ready for start, please consider, it's been an hour i started using *linux* [03:08] Hey there, im trying to partition my SATA-2 HD with the ubuntu live cd using gparted, windows xp is currently installed on the HD, however gparted has been sitting at "scanning devices" for the last hour, ive never been able to get gparted to work, why is this? [03:08] kravlin: the huge number of updates would be far larger than just downloading a new cd [03:08] does xchat use its own font rendering system apart from the rest of gnome? [03:08] do i need to mount the HD first to use gparted? [03:09] fail: i would use the actual gparted live cd....give that a try [03:09] jrib: here it is 'http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62586/' [03:09] bazhang: Currently out of cds anyway. from what i'm reading though the problem doesn't go away. [03:09] ah ok, ill try that poker, thanks [03:09] i have ubuntu is there any good mp3 players for ubuntu i can download?? [03:09] soulreaper, they come default [03:09] kravlin: a bios bug? that is in your system? [03:09] ropoy: that can't be the full thing because it does not include what you first told me about "possible causes" [03:09] CrackGuy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/samba you'd go here, download the package from the link 'i386' from the bottom, then download all of the other packages in the same way that are marked with red circles. (and each of those packages will have their own packages with red circles, and you keep going until you reach packages without red circles) it WILL work, but it's absolutely horrid, when ubuntu is connected to the inte [03:09] rnet it has a program that can handle all of this for you automatically [03:10] bazhang: the thing's never been booted... [03:10] bazhang: it's possible it's just incompatable. [03:10] Anybody know if there is an issue with the toolbar and menu icons in OpenOffice.org? All of my toolbars had been set to display "Icon only", and they still are, but all I'm getting is the text labels [03:10] kravlin, dont u have someother cd [03:10] Where do i view nvidia control panel? [03:10] right click on a folder doesn't show 'share folder'. anyone? [03:11] hmm is my question not making sense, or? [03:11] kravlin: just speculation until you try; do you live far in the country and unable to access/buy new cd's? [03:11] hello kind people, can you please point me out to the Mac Leopard version of this lovely chat room? [03:11] Ademan i will wait for an internet connection :) but i appreciate your time and effort [03:11] CrackGuy: then you'd load them all up onto a usb disk, bring it over to your ubuntu machine, take a terminal, navigate to where all of the *.deb (package) files are, and type sudo dpkg -i *.deb [03:11] backgen: that is unsupported and illegal [03:11] CrackGuy: yeah, lol, it's really bad [03:11] CrackGuy: you made the right choice lol [03:11] bazhang: lol [03:11] arvind_khadri: I have another cd for Redhat. I'd prefer not to use it.

Paraphrasing what happens just creates confusion. I have to go now, but here is what you can try: 1) Consider whether you have a strange internet setup that prevents update-manager from fetching meta-release and address this. 2) Try to fetch meta-relaes from [03:18] http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release yourself and save it as /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release [03:18] Alley^Away, not at all,sorry if i made u feel so [03:19] htmljunkie: Go create #linuxbros and you can make your own rules, okay?

[03:26] backgen: you might want to try #apple. [03:26] backgen: we're a community for support of Ubuntu. [03:26] you want me to type is [03:26] can someone help me with xsane? [03:26] LS not is [03:26] type ls and then enter. it lists file in the directory. [03:26] soulreaper: LS. It's a command to show files. Kinda like dir in windows. [03:26] soulreaper, ls ,l for love , s for super [03:27] I have a trouble with Komposer: trying to edit the source of the page makes Komposer Close [03:27] cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 floppy floppy0 SANSA M350 [03:27] can someone help me with scanning images? [03:27] that is what i go [03:27] t [03:27] owen1: only linux machines? what about nfs [03:27] im going to sound like such a noob but alot of ubuntu is starting to intimidate me especially the terminal controls of the OS, is it worth putting time into it and getting over the learning curve or will i be completely lost gor a good long time before i get anything to work [03:27] ok. give me a sec. [03:27] does ubuntu support pcmcia serial port cards ? [03:27] Toadinator just state the question [03:28] Everytime I try it, Komposer fails... [03:28] caminomaster, try saving the source on your machine and editing it there. then ftp back to the site.. or use komposer to upload. [03:28] please someone help me to open port 5432 for a tcp connection to myself :( [03:28] http://cgi.ebay.com/Hi-Speed-Serial-Port-PCMCIA-Cardbus-Card-For-Laptop-PC_W0QQitemZ120242399848QQihZ002QQcategoryZ41995QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem [03:28] timo1teo: put in the time it will be worth it; just a few basic ones you need to know really [03:28] ltcabral, on your router? [03:28] Scunizi, i'm editing a local page [03:28] why cant i upgrade to 7.10 from 7.04? [03:28] Oh sorry... when I scan an image there are weird lines going vertically on the image... is this normal, because it doesn't happen on windows [03:28] ltcabral: just start a program that listens on that port if you're connecting from localhost [03:28] thanks :) [03:28] timo1teo it is worth it [03:28] how can i find out which version i have installed? [03:28] should I show an example? [03:28] ropoy, does tat sound like upgrade??? [03:28] ropoy: you mean 8.04? [03:29] im using sockets to connect to myself... [03:29] caminomaster, you could try nvu (pretty much the same) or netscape suite. (same) all are based in nvu including komposer [03:29] no router [03:29] soulreaper: cd /media/SANSA\ 350 [03:29] he said TO 7.10 FROM 7.04, [03:29] orudie: version of ubuntu? lsb_release -a [03:29] ropoy, if u meant 8.04 its not released so u cant [03:29] kravlin: i know it is!! But i swear all the other chatrooms are very inactive and i trust you guys since you've saved my computer for the brink of destruction so many times before [03:29] you want me to put that in the turminal [03:29] no from 7.04 to 7.10. i have the upgrade buton on update manager but wheni click it [03:29] yes souldreaper [03:29] ok so my computer recently became really really really slow and laggy (hanging for awhile before launching even simple programs) and i don't have a clue what's wrong. I couldn't find anything in my system logs to why. sorry for being so vague on what's wrong but i don't know anything about it really. [03:29] bazhang: what's nfs? [03:29] arvind_khadri, it there.. and yes you can upgrade to it.. :) [03:29] backgen you cannot do that and this is the wrong place to ask [03:29] Toadinator have you googled your scanner+xsane? [03:29] 'dmesg" shows acpi error, how do i fix this [03:29] owen1: network file system [03:29] it says cant doanlod release notes [03:30] Ashfire908 top [03:30] No such file or directory [03:30] arvind_khadri: well it installed. [03:30] ropoy: still 15 days left for 8.04.. might as well wait to get it... [03:30] hey .. i am trying to install some compiz plugins from synaptic [03:30] arvind_khadri: reboot is giving me a new error now though. [03:30] owen1: good for sharing files on a local network tween *nix boxes. [03:30] onesec... [03:30] *one sec [03:30] LadyNikon, and... [03:30] miketosh, no nothing shows as sucking up the reasources. [03:30] Scunizi, its beta and is un-safe for newbie's [03:30] but it tells me if i install compiz-commpcomm-plugins-main that it will uninstall compiz and the other themes [03:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo owen1 [03:30] soulreaper: type cd/SAN and then hit tab and see if it autocompletes the rest of the name. [03:30] bazhang, what will be the main update in 8.04 from 7.10 ? [03:30] kravlin, wats tat??? [03:30] ububegin: im trying to upgrade to 7.10 [03:30] arvind_khadri, yea.. sorta [03:30] bazhang, or some of them [03:31] rebooting [03:31] sgrover: even on wireless? [03:31] orudie: best to head to the hardy channel for discussion of that [03:31] i have a cryptic error message from konqueror. my problem is that konqeror refuses to browse the file system. It wont open ANYTHING. no folders, pages, nothing. here is the error message it gives me when I type "/" into the location bar: [03:31] "this appears to be a configuration error. you have associated Konqueror with inode/directory, but it cannot handle this file type" [03:31] Now, last time I checked, the WHOLE point of konqueror was to browse the file system. How can it not support "inode/directory"? [03:31] Major problem, when I go to the said dialog in the emedding tab of the file associations tab of the configure-konqueror dialog, [03:31] Buhmanator: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:31] Scunizi, its better not to suggest it,as sometimes it may do a serious damage to hardware [03:31] soulreaper: we need to change to the directory for SANSA 350 [03:31] when I click on the "add" button on the services preference order subsection to add " Icon View (konq_iconview)" to the top of the list, there are no items in the list to add! [03:31] it just beeps at me [03:31] ok [03:31] owen1: nfs doesn't care bout wireless - as long as you can reach the remote box by IP it can be used. [03:31] arvind_khadri: now i get PCI: Cannot Allocate resource region 3 of device 0000:00:00.0 [03:31] yes, but I get nothing [03:31] kravlin, Ahh i too keep getting tat :) never bothered [03:31] arvind_khadri: then it goes into the loading screen and stalls out. [03:31] ok, type gedit /media/SANSA\ 350 [03:31] i want port 5432 to be open, but when i check in nmap only other 3 ports are open.. how can i open 5432 (tcp) [03:32] Scuzzinni, I've installed Komposer since nvu is not in my Synaptic listm but never thought thats it has what a kind of bug [03:32] ltcabral: start a program that listens on port 5432 [03:32] hi guys , what do you use for a usb to serial adapters? [03:32] kravlin, u mean the loading screen with the bar doesnt show up right!! [03:32] Toadinator is your scanner listed here? [03:32] sgrover: cool. thanks [03:32] Toadinator: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html [03:32] looking for one that is compatible with ubuntu on a t60 [03:32] yes it is, Lexmark X1100 [03:32] arvind_khadri: the screen shows up right. it just freezes at that point and the bar never actually goes up. [03:33] well i started my server application that i made... it should be working :P [03:33] should I post an example of the weird effect? [03:33] Floodbot: I did not flood, I used my gangsta skills to use inline carriage returns! [03:33] ok another window poped up [03:33] Scunizi, is really stupid the way it hangs by only deletting (exactly trying to delete) a simple letter [03:33] hi guys , what do you use for a usb to serial adapters on ubuntu? [03:33] ok. is it empy? [03:33] ya [03:33] kravlin, jus leave it for some time,sometimes its slow,do u have enough swap?? [03:33] slashzul: serial? for a mouse? [03:33] Hello. How would I have ssh-askpass prompt me before I get to the KDM login screen? [03:33] how do i know what version of ubuntu i have? [03:33] arvind_khadri: I let it guide itself. [03:34] how will you know if you need to install drivers for your graphics card once you install and boot ubuntu [03:34] Toadinator have you tried different resolutions? by the way: http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-lexmark.5.html [03:34] caminomaster, tab is your friend for completing nicks..:) netscape had an editor based on nvu as well.. deleting a letter bombs it? that's weird.. unless your keyboard file is strange somehow.. sorry can't help there. [03:34] hello [03:34] ropoy: lsb_release -a [03:34] soulreaper: copy and paste this into the file. [03:34] audio_folders=MUSIC/,RECORD/ [03:34] timo1teo: usually it'll look really bad or it'll let you know. [03:34] timo1teo, what kind of card do you have.. [03:34] kravlin, i didnt get u,wats the size of ur ram and swap?? [03:34] timo1teo: you will be able to see if the resolution is what your card and monitor support hopefully; otherwise there is a simple command that will let you check or you can use the gui to do so [03:34] soulreaper: then save it. [03:34] how can I set up the title bar [03:34] isn't there anymore [03:34] please [03:34] ropoy: you can also use System->About from the menu in the top [03:35] ati mobility radeon X1400 [03:35] Starnestommy, when i open my application and use nmap in another terminal it shows the port 5432 in the list of opened ports, but the server application stops running and gives me an error message [03:35] !ati | timo1teo [03:35] timo1teo: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:35] bazhang, would u mind helping kravlin out,i need to rush to college [03:35] can help me, about ebox [03:35] thanks alot [03:35] n-iCe, it's a decorator issue in compiz, open the advance effects manager and check the decorator box [03:35] arvind_khadri: cya; study hard ;] [03:35] it wont let me save it [03:35] yes I have... should I report this to the sane mailing-list? [03:35] Who can help me with a rare nvu/Kompozer trouble? [03:35] ltcabral: what was the error? [03:35] arvind_khadri: I've got 512 because i pieced this together just buying the few parts i had to to make it run. [03:35] hi guys , what do you use for a usb to serial adapters on ubuntu?

[03:36] ok. souldreaper, quiit and type sudo gedit /media/SANSA\ 350 [03:36] bazhang, bye ciao,tc [03:36] timo1teo: you might also read some stuff in ubuntuforums.org and see the !training pdf (you can /msg ubotu training for link [03:36] why my ebox in ubuntu can't sharing internet [03:36] does anyone know how to download streaming video? [03:36] arvind_khadri: that's fine. thanks for all the help! [03:36] n-iCe, not quite sure how, check in gconf-editor under apps/metacity , therer is probably a box to check [03:37] bazhang: so you want the rundown? [03:37] Scunizi: Im looking to buy a usb to db9 serial port to use with a cisco switch [03:37] n-iCe, or you might just have to reselect a theme [03:37] erat123: use miro [03:37] want something that is supported [03:37] Starnestommy, server... [03:37] bazhang: thanks! i'll look into it! [03:37] Electric sheep? How to install in Ubuntu for novice user? [03:37] kravlin: sure go ahead [03:37] ltcabral: it might be a server bug [03:37] slashzul, ah.. the cisco uses the db9 i take it.. older? I'm not sure if you'll have to install anything or not.. might just work. [03:38] ok i did sudo and typed in my password [03:38] and another blank window poped up [03:38] Scunizi: my laptop has only a usb port [03:38] bazhang: I finally got ubuntu to install. It gives me an error saying PCI: Cannot Allocate resource region 3 of device 0000:00:00.0 and then goes to the loading screen but freezes there. [03:38] when the new window pops up, paste that info and save [03:38] Starnestommy, but worked perfectly in other place [03:38] can anyone please take a look at this [03:38] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62593/ [03:38] I need a usb to db9 converter. Looked up ubuntu help and noone has recommendations [03:38] so i just put hardy on for the fun of it but i can only log in in gnome fail safe, not normal gnome. Where do i check the debug file? [03:38] okay kravlin hang on a sec while I check [03:38] hey guys [03:38] dts: dmesg [03:39] shivamib: for x related stuff+ [03:39] what do you want me to do next?? [03:39] shivamib: well actually gnome related [03:39] X works fine [03:39] slashzul, here's a link for the adaptor.. but I still think it might just "work" without any intervention http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=123071&CatId=464 [03:39] ropoy, download the alternate intstall cd and upgrade from that [03:39] usually its in /var/log/Xorg.log or something [03:40] Pelo: is there no other way/ [03:40] ropoy, it will be quicker [03:40] soulreaper, we need to make a file. can you switch to the music players folder. [03:40] Hey everyone. I'm running what I think is the latest version, on Ubuntu (gutsy). I can't seem to figure out how to turn on the automatic spell-check (wiggly red line). Any ideas? [03:40] ah okies [03:40] Sorry, I'm using openoffice [03:40] Pelo: ill try [03:40] as in witch one [03:40] the mp3 players or the rythmbox [03:41] Scunizi: doesnt work with Ubuntu 7.10 [03:41] mophead_, in openoffice ? check in the options , or ask in #openoffice.org [03:41] the music players [03:41] I picked one up and it gave me loads of problems on dmesg [03:41] never loaded up. [03:41] we need to make a file that lets rhythmbox recognize the player [03:41] mophead_ there is a button on the toolbar with ABC, a check, and a squiggly line [03:41] you need drivers for it [03:41] kravlin is this 64 bit ubuntu cd? [03:41] Pelo: I've already checked the spelling tools and checked off "check spelling automatically" [03:41] rythembox is a music player on ubuntu [03:41] your mp3 player [03:41] harriseldon: I've unchecked and checked that button a few times, to no avail. [03:41] bazhang: Shouldn't be. [03:42] mophead_, let me check my settings [03:42] kravlin: that is an unequivocal no? or not sure [03:42] ya i can go into my mp3 players folders [03:42] soulreaper: do it in the terminal. [03:42] dts: what happens when you try to log normally [03:42] bazhang: assume it's a no. [03:42] slashzul, check this out .. it might shed some light http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FUbuntu%2BLinux%2Farticles%2F61%2Fscie%2Bnti%2Bst%2BKeyspan%2BUSB%2BSerial%2Badapter%2Bsupport&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fscie.nti.st%2F2008%2F3%2F13%2Fkeyspan-usb-to-serial-adapter-support-in-ubuntu [03:43] im not that talented with the terminal [03:43] too long a link [03:43] try again [03:43] mophead_ it works fine for me, check the dictionaries in Tools-Options Language Settings->Writing Aids [03:43] soulreaper, well click on the icon for you music player. what is the address location? [03:43] mophead_, just click the abc tool in the toolbar ,the one iwth the checkmark and the squiggly line, when it is pressed the auto check is enabled [03:43] ...stroganoff? [03:43] mp3 player [03:44] slashzul, try this one. http://tinyurl.com/46wvf8 [03:44] kravlin what video card, what cpu what motherboard and are you sure about the 64bit cd? if you say assume no, then I could give you advice that might compromise your system--best to be 100% sure on that last point [03:44] its just on the desk top [03:44] why dont i have sound in skype ? [03:45] or the otherone is in my apps [03:45] why don't Debians like to support Debian based distros [03:45] Toadinator? [03:45] Pelo: Yes, that's what I thought it should be too, but it doesn't seem to be working. [03:45] yahya_, because there are changes here... not much but could be significant. [03:45] I'm here. [03:45] yahya_: this is ubuntu support channel; do you have a ubuntu support question? [03:45] harriseldon: "check spelling as you type" is checked [03:45] mophead_, maybe you didn'T make any spelling mistake [03:46] Is there a special Channel for dealing with bugs in the latest Beta release of Ubuntu Hardy Heron? [03:46] but open it into a window, then you can see it's location. [03:46] ubuntu is pretty well supported! [03:46] IamReck: #ubuntu+1 [03:46] IamReck: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [03:46] #ubuntu+1 IamReck [03:46] the cpu is a 2200+ AMD 64 Athalon. I've had the motherboard because it was meant to be on a project that never was started but i don't know what it is. it's made by jetway and is fairly [03:46] IamReck, launchpad for reporting bugs [03:46] the icon on the desktop is a link [03:46] Thanks. [03:46] Pelo: I tried typing "lfkjldksfj ewrjewkl dsfopje" to test it, and it's not underlined [03:46] old because it's a socket 754. [03:46] mophead_, I'm out of ideas [03:47] kravlin, that's old?! I've got a socket 478 [03:47] kravlin I asked four (4) questions; you answered two (2) only [03:47] bazhang: but i started it again and it worked for some reason. it's the 6th or so time that i've been starting it. [03:47] stroganoff? [03:47] thats it. Ill have to rebuild a driver for it. [03:47] you here? [03:47] its ok, done it before. THANKS [03:47] what's that weird vertical line in xchat gnome that i can't seem to get rid of? [03:47] slashzul, I hope it works for you. [03:48] Pelo: Hm. My surname and some jargon words are underlined, but it doesn't recognize gibberish as a spelling error. ...odd. [03:48] it's where you left the window [03:48] ill post if I get it done, there isnt much out there on using ubuntu for a cisco console [03:48] (assuming its the red one) [03:48] stroganoff are you alive? [03:48] no its black and vertical [03:48] mophead_, it might be that it recognises them as possibly being some type of serial number and ignores them [03:49] bazhang: fine. old compared to today's stuff thanks to moore's law. [03:49] Pelo: a-ha! [03:49] Toadinator, try in private please [03:49] mophead_, ??? [03:49] Hello, i'm getting this error with Xchat "Cannot find 'notify-send' to open balloon alerts. Please install libnotify" I checked my packages, and I do have this installed. Can anyone help me out with this? [03:49] kravlin: not sure what that means; what video card and what cd (32 bit or 64 bit) [03:49] Toadinator whats ur problem? [03:49] Pelo: your serial number theory makes sense [03:49] Toadinator yes go to the mailing list [03:49] shivamib: it starts gnome then screen goes black (presumably crashes) and it returns to the login screen [03:49] bazhang: it's not the 64bit cd. [03:49] mophead_, ah [03:49] Toadinator send an example [03:49] lewench, I have the same issue.. not sure what causes it but it doesn't seem to effect anything. [03:50] can you ctrl+alt+f1? [03:50] geez [03:50] ok... one second [03:50] kravlin: you need no further assistance then? [03:50] bazhang: video card is a 128mb 6600 Geforce. [03:50] usually this is a video card thing [03:50] bazhang: not unless it hangs up again. [03:50] gaaa [03:50] Thanks for the help! [03:51] okay soulreaper, I haven't heard back from you. I need to head out. In this thread is a solution. It's roughly thesame as one that worked for me and another model sansa. Try to finish or get someone else here to help. Good luck. [03:51] kravlin, that's a pretty solid card.. have you checked xorg.conf under driver to see if it says nvidia? [03:51] lewench: try using the run dialog to create your own test of notify_send. You can use notify_send "Test Title" "Test Text" [03:51] scunizi: it's not a video card issue. [03:51] Scunizi, yeah I know, just that pop up error is annoying. Was thinking about trying Kopete if its compatible gnome. Just don't know how good it is. [03:51] lewench: if that does not work, it may be path related. [03:51] if I told gnome to rotate my display under System->Preferences->Screen Resolution, what file is that option saved in? I changed it, nothing shows up right, and I need to manually revert the change [03:51] kravlin: almost all of those errors are either with the motherboard or the 64bit cd; you say it is not the 64bit cd so not sure what else to recommend at this point--you may file a bug at launchpad if you feel it is warranted [03:52] yeah I have a problem [03:52] bazhang: probably the motherboard then. the guy i got this cd from says it's not 64 bit. [03:52] You basically need to make a file in the mp3 players root foler named is_a_player or something, add some info to the file. [03:52] ok [03:52] harriseldon how do you get to the run dialogue.? [03:52] i reported back to you [03:52] but you no answer [03:53] Scunizi: I use Alt-F2 [03:53] kravlin: the guy? might want to download the 32bit and see if that is the case and if you run into the same errors--I would trust ubuntuforums over the guy [03:53] after I installed the ubuntu.. I downloaded the adobe nonfree plugin but it didn't work .. Then I installed it manually and now when any flash site launched the browser quits [03:53] launches* [03:53] yahya_ did you install flashplugin-nonfree or something else? [03:53] from APT [03:53] Scunizi: is use winkey+R muhahaha [03:53] soulreaper: if you use their name before your quote it usually highlights it for them. makes things easier. [03:54] bazhang: got it. [03:54] dts: usually this is a video card thing [03:54] Ok, stroganoff I'm gonna send two files. out.png is the xsane one, and favpic.jpg is the windows one. [03:54] o didnt know that [03:54] thanx [03:54] ok do that [03:54] Man, why doesn't ANYONE ever support Linux? Comcast, AT&T... [03:55] Creationist: it's because everyone uses windows [03:55] !true [03:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about true - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:55] :) [03:55] Starnestommy: Well, that was just a silly statement. [03:55] creationist: because that would be intelligent. Kinda like how they plan on capping bandiwth instead of increasing flow by improving cables. [03:55] have you got my question? [03:55] silly, but true [03:56] Creationist, because .net and asp programmers are a dime a dozen?

[03:59] Creationist, do you do that from the original install cd? [03:59] Scunizi: I created it specifically for gaming so it doesn't have all that extra crap (services, drivers, etc) that MIcrosoft puts on every machine. It's much faster this way. [03:59] Scunizi: Yes. Look into a program call nLite. [03:59] Creationist, cool thanks. [04:00] Why can't my desktop effects be loaded?

[04:19] ubuntu, it's not editing the grub menu per se.. it's that windows over writes grub with its boot manager.. so you have to reinstall grub.. not a huge issue.. just a live cd and about a minute once you have the right guide. === andthensome is now known as andthennone [04:19] One more.

[04:40] charles|64: it looks like it is part of an open bug report. I am not sure what anyone in this channel can do. [04:40] charles|64: that is a known issue.

[04:43] harriseldon, thx man [04:43] cchild, I've never used yast.. so I don't have a basis of comparison .. I've just read that once you've used apt every thing else is harder. [04:43] tuxus, i am deciding whether to move to ubuntu form opensuse 10.3 [04:43] Flash-xD: yw === akoe_ceweq is now known as Cow_21 [04:44] hiii [04:44] cchild, you could always install vmware server and load up ubuntu for a whirl [04:44] grub menu http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62595/ when i try to launch XP it just says Starting ... but never loads [04:44] cchild: I'm a distro -hopper.. I've used just about everything under the sun, including Gentoo and FreeBSD. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference. Don't look for "what is best" - you'll never find it [04:44] didn;t opensuse make a deal with the devil? [04:45] dabbill: you need one extra line that says "boot" [04:45] hello, auestion ;) is their any i686-smp kernel for hardy heron?? [04:45] charles|64: did you look at this forum thread yet? [04:45] tuxus, I don't think he's asking about what is best.. just the differences between the two.. and any convincing reasons why he should try it.

I can't find any on the packages.ubuntu.com site [04:46] dabbill: just "boot" [04:46] tuxus, am getting a little irritated because my wifi jus stopped working and am getting acpi an irq errors--i think it is the kernel 2.6.22.17 but i downgraded to the default and still getting the errors [04:46] i always mess this up, i'm on the live cd [04:46] harriseldon: yup no go [04:46] and i'm not sure exactly what the hd numbers stand for [04:46] in setting up grub (sudo grub( [04:46] on my GG laptop, if I don't press a key or click the mouse for a while, the screen brightness is automatically set to maximum.

[04:48] /join #kernel-beginner-help [04:48] :) [04:48] can't, that requires me to go into recovery console and reinstall ntlder [04:49] and for some reason the combination of my hardware causes recovery console to BSOD [04:49] dmsuper: why? [04:49] every time [04:49] /join #ubuntu-kernel [04:49] dmsuper: so you've got win running currently?

[04:50] and i just installed ubuntu [04:50] I have been using suse on this note book since 10.0-10.3 and the wifi has always worked, but am sure the kernel update has something to do with it. but i downgraded but to the default and still can get it working. the suse channel is of no help, that s why i am seriously considering ubuntu [04:50] that would be no [04:50] dmsuper: is your system powerful enuf to do a VMware ?

[05:21] bruno: #ubuntu-ni [05:21] harriseldon, I have authentication on, going to try it without authentication [05:21] elmer, is that printer even shared in windows? [05:21] Hi, I have some problems trying send my laptop image to my external monitor.. using VGA... [05:21] fitoria: guasaimaralayucaconlamarinahuana, yumeikin güevo compadre? [05:21] anyone know how can i fix this? [05:21] fitoria: As not understand! [05:22] Angeltronix: ya no sabueso como es la miercoleta [05:22] dmsuperman well my drives are IDE's so SATA I can't really help you [05:22] after checking my computer has a GeForce 7000 M [05:22] what is NVdriver load bookmark? are you asking me if I installed something? [05:22] all i want to know is [05:22] kindofabuzz, yes. I know that for a fact, because I can print to it in XP [05:22] how can i determine which parition hd1,5 points to, vs hd1,1 and so on [05:23] that don't mean it's shared [05:23] kindofabuzz, you sure? [05:23] elmer, that don't mean it's shared, is the printer connected to the XP box? [05:23] kindofabuzz, yes [05:23] not mine [05:23] dmsuperman: I think you can see that in /etc/fstab [05:23] but a seperate one [05:23] dmsuperman well I can't relly tell you except for look around in forums [05:23] go to you printers in XP and right click it and choose sharing [05:23] does extension 2 require a separate partition for scratch? [05:23] HI, I just install ubuntu on my laptop. but i always use my external monitor to work on my laptop... i use VGA for that... and im not able to send the image using ubuntu.. anyone know how to fix this? [05:24] kindofabuzz, wait... it is connected to a Vista box. Sorry. >.< [05:24] bookmark what are you doing? [05:24] kindofabuzz, do the same thing anyway? [05:24] brb [05:24] checking [05:24] i was wondering if i can put linux all on one partition [05:24] yeah make sure it's networked shared [05:24] but it requires at least two doesn't it? [05:24] dmsuperman the partition numbering is 0+ i.e. 0 is first 1 is second 2 is third... the device.map file in /boot/grub/ determines which drive hd0 is. [05:25] hi [05:25] book yeah [05:25] well if your xp box can print to it and it's connectd to your vista box then yeah it's hshared already [05:25] bookman yeah [05:25] man i already have 8 partitions on my computer [05:25] heheh [05:25] and its a laptop [05:25] make more! [05:25] Agent_bob: /boot/grub/menu.lst? [05:25] eheheh [05:25] dmsuperman no. devices.map [05:25] or device.map [05:26] ah, gotchya [05:26] thaelmer, that's probably the problem, you have it on Vista [05:26] bookmark and it's has to partition 2 more to partitions to make it's swap and extended [05:26] then why is it not working... [05:26] elmer i meant [05:26] yeah, yikes [05:26] logical partitions start at hd?,5 right? [05:26] dmsuperman the (hd?) listings in menu.lst are only referances to the mapping in the map file. [05:26] so many partitions my head is swimming [05:27] i should have put vista programs with vista sys [05:27] you should have not put vista at all =) [05:27] i didn't know that ntfs doesn't really require defragging when i decided to partition so much [05:27] dmsuperman ummm no. logical partitions can start anywhere from 2 up [05:27] odd [05:27] hehe i have two vista installations incase one fails [05:27] hi guys [05:27] and they will [05:27] then is there any reason that find /boot/grub/stage1 returns hd1,5? [05:27] i doubt it will === sascha_ is now known as aquil [05:27] err actually hd?.1+ dmsuperman [05:27] good night [05:27] wanna bet? [05:28] eventually [05:28] hmm i suppose i could just move the program files now and reghost [05:28] dmsuperman because that's where it finds it ? [05:28] there's only 4 partitions on hd1, and the second one is the ubuntu/grub partition [05:28] bookmark so pastebin your fdisk output [05:28] kindofabuzz, back [05:28] bookmark so pastebin your fdisk -l output [05:28] kindofabuzz, it is indeed shared [05:28] im actually in vista as we speak [05:28] kindofabuzz, but it is Vista so that sucks [05:28] can you ping your vista machine elmer? [05:28] lemme see [05:29] well i stripped vista down, i don't use any graphics [05:29] or superfetch [05:29] I don't even know it's IP, kindofabuzz >.< [05:29] bookmark then I can't figure it out because I don't know vista that well [05:29] can somone help me, i had have tried to install games on my computer, with konsole and it actually says that there are installed some games but i dont see them can someone tell me how can i install the simple ones, solitary and poker and those simple ones please?? [05:29] elmer, well you need to ping it just so you can see if ubuntu can even see it first [05:29] hey, anyone here using linux for web development? im trying to choose a toolset. just need a good editor/environment to work in (XHTML/CSS, Python/PHP) [05:29] elmer, when troubleshooting, gotta start with simple things [05:29] yeah, I know that kindofabuzz, I just have to find the IP [05:30] i wish i could just have vista and linux share a scratch partition [05:30] Agent_bob: I've got partitions, in this order: NTFS Primary (empty) - ext3 logical (ubuntu with grub) - swap - NTFS Logical (storage) [05:30] that owuld be ideal [05:30] then i could just have my 4 primary partitions [05:30] Agent_bob: yet it finds it at hd1,5. shouldn't it find it at hd1,2 ? [05:30] tarkus> a friend of mine doing that uses eclipse as an IDE for that [05:30] what's a scratch partition? [05:30] any one please? [05:30] swap? [05:30] hi i just installed 8.10 beta and i'm trying to compile something (fwcutter) but it spits out a few pages of errors. What should I do ? [05:30] oh wait i know how to solve this [05:30] forget it [05:30] gonna take some time though [05:30] andrew__: #ubuntu+1 for hardy (8.04) support, thanks. [05:30] andrew__, install gutsy =) [05:31] i did [05:31] n ew is better [05:31] dmsuperman yes but what i'm saying about partition numbering is that there is no "chisseled in stone" law as to what "number" the first logical will be. most common setup is for the first extended partition to be numbered as hd?4 "grub (hd#,3)" and the first logical partition to be +1 that. [05:31] andrew__ I don;t know hard but stick with gutsy for now === roaksoax_ is now known as RoAkSoAx [05:31] luis__: What's the problem? You can't find them in the menus or what? What did you install? [05:31] Anytone here knoiw how to do cate5 crossover to share internet connection? I have windows xp and Ubuntu, but my windows has wireless and ubuntu has a crossover connectted to my xp box with the wireless. [05:31] new is not always better [05:31] andrew__: Newer is not always better. Suggested that you install a stable version instead of a buggy one. [05:31] new is better if it's really new [05:32] new just means more bugs [05:32] Agent_bob: Then do you see any reason why when i run root (hd1,5) setup (hd1) and boot into grub it says cannot find partition when selecting one of the partitions? [05:32] Hello. [05:32] sutabi ubuntu can be set to use the wireless conncetion [05:32] Agent_bob: menu.lst points to hd1,5 for the partitions in the list [05:32] no, new means cash [05:33] Shadow420: From my Windows XP that has the wireless? [05:33] I don't much care for all the apps that ubuntu desktop installs. Anyway to cut it down during installation, or possible do a server install, and install JUST Xorg and whatever apps I want, instead of a full blown GNOME desktop? gnome-light from Gentoo comes to mind [05:33] i went to konsole and typed sudo aptitude to fiiiiind uninstall programs then i found games uninstall and i did install them it took like two days, now it just finish but there are bi games on the menu is there any simple way and not that long to get just simple card games thta you can help me please flannel? [05:33] dmsuperman i don't even use a partition. there are a thousand ways to setup an hdd. dmsuperman and to answer "do i see a reason" not really, but; one thing to check is if bios is changing the order of the disks. you may have to adjust the hd# accordingly. [05:34] sutabi are u dual-booting XP/Ubuntu? [05:34] sethrd: Grab the alternate CD and you can install a text-only system (or the server CD, but you'll want the generic kernel) [05:34] Agent_bob: Alright, thanks :D [05:34] dmsuperman: Also, if your drive is SATA, it will show as sda, not hda [05:34] Shadow420: no these are 2 complete differ computers [05:35] luis__: Which games did you install? do you remember? You should ask about the games in #kubuntu, I'm unfamiliar with KDE games. [05:35] sethrd: It is SATA, but find /boot/grub/stage1 returnd h1,5 [05:35] sutabi ok where is ubuntu installed on a laptop or dektop [05:35] sethrd: Should I replace that with sd1,5 ? [05:35] HI, I just install ubuntu on my laptop. but i always use my external monitor to work on my laptop... i use VGA for that... and im not able to send the image using ubuntu.. anyone know how to fix this? [05:35] dmsuperman what i'm saying there is that, bios may call one disk hd0 and as soon as the linux kernel loads the drives may swap. as far as the 0x80 0x81 bios calls are concerned. [05:35] it says only games uninstall [05:35] Shadow420: desktop [05:35] so i just choose to inistall but nothing appears on the menu [05:35] <|Slurpee|> i finally got vista to shrink my drive properly. now I have a 25 gig vista, 20 gig free, 10 gig free, and 7 gig free allocations setup on 1 drive. i am trying to setup ubuntu on my 20 gig free space. how can i setup the partition in ubuntu? I am having trouble with manual [05:36] and i just want to install some card games thats it but i just cant [05:36] Flannel: So, I could install via the via CD, then just do apt-get gnome, and have a bare minimum GNOME desktop, or will it still grab all the crap that comes with the ubuntu-desktop package? [05:36] luis__: Like I said, I'm sure there's some Kubuntu games like the ones you're looking for, but I don't know them. You should ask in #kubuntu [05:36] *via the alt CD [05:36] dmsuperman it's always worth a shot to reverse the hd# in menu.lst and see what happens. [05:36] Agent_bob: trying that now :D [05:36] sutabi ok ubuntu should be able to access the ethernet card regardless even on the live cd [05:36] ok and how do i get there sorry but i am new on kubuntu and im learning [05:37] kindofabuzz, I have no clue what the machine's IP is, but I do know that it shows up when I click browse to find the printer [05:37] dmsuperman: I know what I did my last (gentoo) linux install, installer saw my drive as hd1,0 because I was using an external USB cd-rom to install. [05:37] dmsuperman: When I booted, I had to edit the drub line to be hd0,0 [05:37] elmer, ok, is the printer on? [05:37] Shadow420: it can access eth0 fine..... but from my other desktop with the internet connection thats it connects to it doesn't do anything [05:37] sethrd: the gnome package in universe grabs stock gnome (which includes the gnome apps, like epiphany, etc). There are other packages for a bare gnome install, yes. I don't believe there's a pre-fab metapackage, but yes, you can build your own lightweight one. [05:37] now can anyone offer any advanced help on a scanner setup ? [05:37] sethrd: Thanks for the tip, gonna try hd0,5 now [05:37] kindofabuzz, yes it is [05:37] elmer, did you go to admin > printers and go through that? [05:37] sethrd: Since my primary drive is actually the second SATA drive in the list for bios [05:37] kindofabuzz, yes [05:37] Flannel maybe ? when your not busy ? [05:38] hmm dunno, man out of ideas sorry [05:38] dmsuperman: If it is your second drive onthe ribbon, odds are it would be hd1,5 [05:38] sutabi ok so it's your xp install not accessing the internet? [05:38] hello i need help [05:38] dmsuperman: But you are more then welcome to try. Won't hurt anything [05:38] can anyone pllz help? [05:38] Shadow420: no winows has the internety [05:38] Flannel: How would you go about building a stripped down version of GNOME without pulling everything from universe? [05:39] Shadow420: ubuntu doesn't [05:39] sethrd: what? You mean without installing the "gnome" package? [05:39] Chronix the rest room is down the hall on the left. help with what ? [05:39] lol [05:39] Flannel: Yes, I apologize. How would I go about installing a bare minimum GNOME install? [05:40] has anyone try before e17 on ubuntu? how does it works? it is slow? [05:40] luis__: `sudo apt-get install kdegames` should do it. I don't think anyone knows what you mean when you say "only games uninstall" but, they may in #kubuntu (since kubuntu uses adept, instead of synaptic) [05:40] Flannel: I want the bare minimums, as I don't use 3/4th the apps the come with the ubuntu-desktop package. [05:40] Agent_bob: umm when i burned the cs and put it in the drive and rebooted my PC when i got the ubuntu page and selected what to do it would say cannot boot from cd. [05:41] Agent_bob: umm when i burned the cd and put it in the drive and rebooted my PC when i got the ubuntu page and selected what to do it would say cannot boot from cd. [05:41] sutabi ok so pm the full issue to me [05:41] Does Ubuntu normally have the Magic SysRq key enabled in the kernel? [05:41] phuzion: I think so [05:41] yes [05:41] If I had a document open in GEdit, but had not saved it yet, and then lost power, would there be a backup somewhere? (For files that already have been saved once, it's configured to autosave every 5 minutes) [05:41] phuzion: yes. [05:41] Agent_bob: do u no whats wrong? [05:41] Awesome, thanks === never|mobi is now known as neversfelde|mobi [05:42] hey guys, does anyone know how to setup apache2 where you can store your shared files i a specific folder? [05:42] sethrd: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome is that package, which depends on http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome-desktop-environment, which looks to be a standard gnome desktop without too many other things. Epiphany, Ekiga, evolution, and that looks like that's it when it comes to extras. [05:42] phuzion: skinny elephant for great justice [05:42] Chronix umm that is a sad storry. seeing that i'm still using dapper LTS i'm not likely to be any help with that... maybe someone else can. [05:42] hello and hi ...how do I update for next new Ubuntu? [05:42] Chronix it's possible that the cd got screwed up [05:42] houbuntu: like ~/public_html? [05:42] if i'm buying a new video card, who do I wanna go with. Is ATI/AMD's driver support better or worse than Nvidia? [05:42] shivamib, raising elephants is so utterly boring [05:42] Randocal: Intel. [05:43] Shadow420: thank you i will try re downloading and burning it again [05:43] Randocal: Of your two choices though, NVidia. [05:43] Chronix yhou can check the MD5 sum tool [05:43] too [05:43] Flannel: So install with the alt CD, then just do apt-get install gnome? [05:43] tonyyarusso, i want to share files on my home network, but where others can just log onto my 192.168... [05:44] Agent_bob: I love you [05:44] :D [05:44] sethrd: You too :D [05:44] in a totally normal, non-creepy way [05:44] Randocal ubuntu can use the Nvidia and ATI Restricted drivers they are more easier to use [05:44] oh, the love [05:44] I'm running into a bug with my current nvidia card and compiz. Apparently it's still present in Hardy from the bit of reading i've done. Is the ATI/AMD driver support actually bad? or just not quite as good as Nvidia ? [05:44] houbuntu: Sounds like a job for NFS or Samba rather than Apache. [05:44] cool, i will check it out, thx [05:44] now, i've got a 7900gsko, anyone have any recommendations for a driver for dual monitor? [05:44] sethrd: gnome will include some extras, gnome-desktop-environment includes fewer. gnome includes synaptic, rhythmbox, etc. Take a look [05:44] sethrd do the server install and then install x-window-system-core and the gnome base package not "gnome" it's a meta package that will bloat your system. [05:45] is the propietary one the best choice still, or are hte open ones working good for dual monitor now? [05:45] my question went by unnoticeable....how do I update to new version of Ubuntu coming at the end of April I beleave is Ubuntu 8.04, correct? [05:45] Randocal: depends on the card. My (ATI) card is downright awful, but newer stuff is a bit better. [05:45] Flannel: Ok, so then do apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment ? [05:45] !upgrade | Nasra (and for questions about running it before the 24th, see #ubuntu+1) [05:45] Nasra (and for questions about running it before the 24th, see #ubuntu+1): For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:45] sethrd: yep (and xorg) [05:45] dmsuperman so changing the disk order did the trick ? [05:45] Randocal due to the copyrights perfectly making a free version of a high card is hard [05:45] I think it's an X1300 - dunno if that'd fall under "newer" in your books [05:46] I've created a monster [05:46] Flannel: Heh, you would like that doin that would fetch xorg in the process. [05:46] the pages won't print [05:46] so I delete them from buntu print thing [05:46] but they are still on the vista print queue [05:46] tonyyarusso: thanks alot [05:46] and when I del them from there it gives access denied [05:46] that is bad [05:46] ok so I just installed the Nvidia Linux driver for the GeForce 7 Series [05:46] I'm not looking to do anything super fancy with it... the machine it's in is only a single core mobile AMD 2600. I just wanna be able to have some of the compiz elements turned on and have the PC setup for basic browsing/email/IRC/and some Torrenting [05:47] would a GeForce 7000M be considered a 7 series? also my scren is still only able to be 800x600? [05:47] but there are 3 in the house that use this PC, and right now it's exhibiting the compiz/amd/beige login screen error [05:47] hello i want to work with my monitor from my laptop using VGA, but ubuntu does not recognize my monitor,, why is this? [05:47] macogw: sorry [05:47] so i'm thinking to move to an ATI x1300 I can get off a buddy [05:47] Randocal well I never used it because I have an older Nvidia Card [05:48] sethrd: Not necessarily. Just because you've got those apps doesn't mean your Xserver is on this machine [05:48] sethrd x-window-system-core [05:48] I think I might try out the X1300, i think it's new enough that's ATI's restricted driver will work for it. What do I need to do in order to change video cards without hosing my system? [05:48] sethrd that's the meta package you want ^ [05:49] Do i just change to a generic driver, then power down, put in the new card, power back up and then install ATI's? [05:49] hello i want to work with my monitor from my laptop using VGA, but ubuntu does not recognize my monitor,, why is this? [05:49] Randocal yep. [05:49] agatha..? [05:49] Randocal vesa = generic driver.

[07:11] dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/lib/libGL.so.1' with [07:11] different file `/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa', not allowed [07:11] dpkg: error processing xorg-driver-fglrx (--remove): [07:11] NKGP: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:11] subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 [07:11] dmsuperman, to be honest, i'm concerned about the spaces withing the pathname in your profile .. not sure how the linux build of firefox handles spaces [07:12] unop__: I'll try and remove them. What is deskbar, and how do i re-enable it sicne i've killed it? [07:12] dmsuperman, the better way to have done this would have been to mount the profile in your ~/.mozilla/firefox/ directory [07:12] unop__: how do i mount a folder as another folder? [07:12] dmsuperman, run this command. nohup deskbar-applet [07:12] NKGP: reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx first [07:12] dmsuperman, mount --bind /path/to/profile /path/to/new/mountpoint [07:13] that didnt work [07:13] dmsuperman, nohup deskbar-applet & # i forgot the & at the end [07:14] NKGP: can you be more specific? :) [07:14] ok [07:15] After a cold boot every thing seems to be strange on ubnutu [07:15] it didn't appreciate the cold boot eh :) [07:15] It started in safe graphics mode the next time i strarted ubuntu [07:15] yeah [07:16] it didnt [07:16] unop__: alright, i think i've almost got it. Remvoed the space, then accidently mistyped the mount point. how do i unmount what i just mounted? [07:16] I turned desktop effects off.. is there any way to get it back on without resetting all the effects back to the default settings (which is what the 'appearences' dialog will do.. === jords__ is now known as jords [07:17] dmsuperman, umount /path/to/mountpoint [07:17] hey, so.. how is one supposed to install ubuntu on an existing mdraid array? [07:18] np, found it [07:18] I can assemble the arrays myself manually easily enough, but can I trust the installer to not do something bad and kill the array? [07:19] unop__: woot! thanks a ton! :D [07:19] dmsuperman, so it was the spaces then? === NKGP is now known as thejeswi_nk [07:19] I'm trying to run a dapper live cd on a powerpc machine which doesn't have a VGA card, only an rs232 output. Do I need to pass special parameters to yaboot? right now, everytime I try to run the live cd, the machine reboots itself [07:20] not really sure [07:20] i removed the spaces [07:20] and removed them in teh profiles.ini [07:20] darktama, i'm not sure what happens .. see !raid perhaps [07:20] and it still didn't work [07:20] but [07:20] Is wine good for windows games? === Cc2iscooL_ is now known as Cc2iscooL [07:20] when i mounted the folder to ~/.mozilla/firefox/default.profile and then used default.profile in profiles.ini it worked [07:20] thejewwi_nk: in my experience (and that of my friends' as well) not usually [07:21] ok [07:22] does any body know how to fix the error that I posted a while ago? [07:23] in fact, for some reason wine causes my entire screen to go black when it's in focus [07:23] i haven't rebooted since installing though, and it might be conflicting with my newly installed video drivers [07:23] which require a reboot [07:24] thejeswi_nk: my experience wine is generally crap fot games.. some people get lucky, I've only ever got WoW to run in it, nothing else ever seems to work [07:24] Hi, what is ~/.local/share/Trash used for? [07:24] shared trash? [07:25] GVSF file system I think.. Trash that knows where it came from so you can restore it rather than dragging it back to the folder manually [07:26] Hey does anyone know why i wouldn't be having a hell of a time trying to remove and reinstall nvidia-glx??? [07:26] Hello Everyone! [07:26] There are files in this folder. My trash bin is empty. [07:26] I've tried everything and it wont let me uninstall it! [07:27] whats the error " subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2" supposed to mean? [07:27] JanPeter: wouldn't, or would? [07:27] I visited #amule channel but its dead, i want to know that in which folder amule saves its downloaded files? [07:27] ill look up GVSF [07:27] buh bye [07:27] thejeswi_nk: same problem [07:27] If you're not having a hell of a time I don't know why you'd be complaining.. [07:27] zcat[1]: Wouldn't. Haven't been able to get it to be removed, purged, etc [07:27] high [07:28] tell me #ubuntu [07:28] what is the meaning of life? [07:28] i have a problem with the adobe crash plugin [07:28] thejeswi_nk: try apt-get -f install [07:28] the meaning of life is ubuntu [07:28] ok [07:28] JanPeter: I'd guess that at some point in the past you installed the binary drivers or used envy? [07:28] ummm.... I just booted up my Ubuntu machine and accessed the net when a update notification popped up. I clicked it and selected ok to update 5 packages. After the 5 new packages were downloaded my computer started running a Distribution upgrade. Has this happened to anyone else? Hardy isn't out yet right? What's going on? [07:29] usamahashimi, if you know part of one of the filenames you downloaded. you can use this command at a terminal. find ~ -iname "*filename*" [07:29] i haven't tried envy yet, seeing as it wont let me now [07:29] it didnt do any difference Rat409 [07:29] zcat[1]: and i'm not sure what the binary drivers are, but i've done everything by the book basically [07:29] i tried to watch a tamagotchi flash, game but i have only a crash with flash [07:29] :) [07:29] unop__: ok, thanks [07:29] zcat[1]: installed the drivers when i installed ubuntu, havent had any problems until now [07:31] thejesw1: hmm try dpkg --purge nvidia-glx [07:31] JanPeter: well, that's weird. I know I had a hell of a time fixing up the nvidia drivers after my previous 'nvidia website download' install left some mismatching libraries behind.. [07:31] dpkg: error processing nvidia-glx (--purge): [07:31] subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 [07:31] Errors were encountered while processing: [07:31] nvidia-glx [07:31] JanPeter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:32] anyhow gtg but pastebin it and someone might have the answer.. [07:32] allright [07:32] btw me and jesw have the same problem [07:32] sorry try apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx [07:32] JanC, try this. sudo dpkg -r --force-all nvidia-glx [07:33] hello all, I'm using awn in gnome. I want to set it so if i maximize a window, the bottom only goes down to the top of awn. what app do i need or where can i set that? [07:33] unop__: sorry that didnt work either! [07:33] pastebinning something [07:33] http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d5fc98430 [07:33] JanPeter, include the output of both commands [07:33] hi, how can i disconnect ijala using varipoll?

[07:34] more thorough: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62605/ [07:35] hardy heron [07:35] hi to all [07:35] ohh god [07:35] !hardy [07:35] 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 [07:35] lol [07:36] I had it working fine ever since i installed ubuntu, up until today. Perfect hardware acceleration [07:36] JanPeter, it still is _beta_ software .. and you know what that entails, don't you? [07:37] yes i suppose, but wondering why with nothing changing why it would suddenly spew forth all this [07:37] any way to enable flag+shortcut keys? im os used to using them for quick run, search, etc [07:37] Hello. [07:37] JanPeter, sudo? [07:37] JanPeter, what you are seeing is characteristic of beta software .. JanPeter, please ask about this in #ubuntu+1 [07:38] how to synch Palm treo ??? [07:38] allright, im in there [07:38] is there an easy way to replace lost files that have been deleted. "Essentially 'rm -f thefile'" === mfiers is now known as mfiers|afk [07:38] What option do you recommend me to have permanent (not one-time) access to my desktop from somewhere else? using ssh encryption if possible. [07:38] Pupeno: ssh [07:38] i see/cl [07:38] Pupeno, a fuse/ssh filesystem ? [07:39] Pupeno: you can also use vnc if you need a gui [07:39] mikearr_: ssh by itself is not enough. [07:39] !treo [07:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about treo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:39] !palm [07:39] A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB [07:39] also, not sure if it's in the ubuntu repos, but check out x11vnc [07:39] Pupeno if kde konqueror fish:/ip. [07:39] mikearr_: by "accessing my desktop" I mean not only GUI (I know how to do X forwarding with ssh), but also my currently running desktop (not even nomachine style). [07:39] !undelete > blbrown (see private message from ubotu) [07:40] Pupeno: then you want x11vnc [07:40] unop__, Agent_bob: I don't mean my files, I mean my (running) desktop. [07:40] Pupeno: you fire up x11vnc, then use vncviewer to connect to you exiting desktop [07:40] s/you/your/ [07:40] mikearr_: will that use ssh or similar encryption? [07:40] Pupeno i think you'll have to edit gdm and make your session permisc. [07:41] yes, i believe it's configurable [07:41] Pupeno, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [07:41] thanks. [07:42] anyone on a sane issue ? [07:42] lol [07:43] btw unop__: and anyone else interested: I have a solution for the unremovable nvidia-glx [07:43] http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8091 [07:43] Running rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so and rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.1 [07:43] there was some writing error, had to manually remove that file [07:48] so nobody active here can offer the slightest assistance with sane ? and the !scanners page is useless. no trouble-shooting help there. [07:49] maybe they're all passive. :) [07:49] E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room [07:49] how do i fix that? [07:49] Hi, why does Mozilla Firefox randomly crashes when i access a flash object like Youtube? [07:49] What is the easiest way to change the ID3 tags of songs in my library? When changing it in Rhythmbox it doesn't seem to get saved to the file. [07:50] i use amarok [07:50] richard, i don't know. same thing happens here. are you using 32bit or 64bit? [07:50] 32bit [07:50] xtknight : Are you using Firefox 3 Beta also? [07:50] marlun: maybe easytag [07:51] Hi all, is there a way to remap items in the lost+found back to their original folder/file names? [07:51] richard, yeah. are you on gutsy or hardy? [07:51] hardy [07:51] for some reason my stupid XFS file system corrupted and dumped 700Gb of crap into lost+found and it hurts.... [07:51] richard, we had a recent flash update (mine actually) and i want to make sure that's not the culprit [07:51] richard, let's take it to #ubuntu+1 [07:51] Crshman: you can right click on the menu and editnthe menu or run alacarte [07:52] xtknight : ok [07:52] hikejinx: what menu? [07:52] * Agent_bob boots a live CD so the stinking scanner will work...... ! [07:52] I was thinking you meant in the apps menu, I was lost.

[08:17] utorrent is a poor suggestion. focus on native first. [08:17] dede' virgo [08:18] deluge is a good option, as are ktorrent and azureus [08:18] !p2p [08:18] Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information [08:18] yes, i can see you like triggers. it's slow. a personal response won't kill anyone.

[08:21] dmsuperman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:21] ln [08:21] lol [08:21] !fstab [08:21] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:22] gnight for real this time :D [08:22] Hi. I'm using ubuntu 7.10 with gnome. Is it possible to create a 'shortcut' on desktop similiar to thoose on windows that points to a samba share and can be browsable when trying to attach a file to mail from that location [08:22] ? [08:22] icesword: isn't that for partitions? [08:22] dmsuperman, see the --bind option to mount [08:22] i would just symlink it [08:22] icesword: I want to mount just a folder [08:22] aye [08:22] so i've rebooted [08:22] we mounted that folder for firefox [08:22] i want to do that automatically on boot [08:23] Daisuke_ldo: what's that/ [08:23] prodigel, sure, just use nautilus to mount the samba share on the desktop [08:23] unop__: how do I do that? [08:24] dmsuperman, if you want mounts to be permanent across reboots, you need to add entries into the /etc/fstab file [08:24] prodigel, alt+f2 .. type in 'nautilus-connect-server' .. and it should all become clear then [08:24] unop__: do i just put the folder where it says file system? [08:25] for example, this line: [08:25] UUID=F11EA6452986E83B /media/sdb2 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 [08:25] dmsuperman, is the directory you want to mount called "www"? [08:25] would i just do /media/sdb2/whwatever/blah /var/www ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1? [08:25] no, it's DocRoot [08:26] but i could make it www [08:26] you could do sudo ln -s /media/whatever/www /var [08:26] dmsuperman, /media/sdb2/whwatever/blah /var/www none bind 0 0 [08:27] looks like unop__'s suggestion is probably better though [08:27] Thanks :D [08:27] I can't change my laptop screen brightness [08:28] hi all... on ubuntu 7.10 i've found some problems with the preview / print functionality of evince... plain lp works, however... [08:28] i'm just wondering, is there some kind of "graphical lp" which i can launch for users to allow them to set printer options in a graphical manner? [08:29] I am trying to install Gizmo the sipphone/im client . I really don't understand what you do ? Most program it is clear what the tar is and the deb . I don't understand if those are the things it need or What . here is the download page http://gizmo5.com/pc/download/linux/?PHPSESSID=452f103d4219ca41b052609d164a0009 [08:29] hay all I have a issue with ubuntu 7.10 and the brightness applet not working.any ideas? [08:30] tarelerulz, looks like this is the right deb: http://download.gizmo5.com/GizmoDownload/gizmo-project_3.1.0.79_libstdc++6_i386.deb === arief is now known as co_gatel [08:30] Well, I feel dumb . I thought they where lib and not the program itself . thanks pvh_sa|wrk [08:31] they also recommend their version of bonjour http://download.gizmo5.com/GizmoDownload/bonjour_1.0.7-1_i386.deb [08:31] instead of avahi? strange [08:32] tarelerulz, don't worry, it was obscure labelling... they got a deb for libc5 systems, and a deb for libc6 ones. strange... since libc5 is really ancient [08:32] any ideas in the brightness applet not doin crap [08:32] * mark[oz] away [08:32] Most program are just named program_name_version.deb and nothing else .

[08:33] tarelerulz, a .deb file is just another archive, you can have something very useful in something like foo.deb :) [08:33] kadko, k3b [08:34] kadko: have a look at k3b or gnomebaker for burning cd's [08:34] tnx [08:34] when I right click on the tool bar and choose the brightness applet it has a red X over it [08:35] I converted the red hate version of Gizmo and really don't understand how you know if it is working or not. No real mic check build into it. Now that I know what deb version of the program I need I will do that one [08:35] I got a problem in hardy, except for not being able to find nvidia drivers in Hardware Drivers, I also lag a bit, mouse freezing few secs once in a while, etc... Any ideas? Trying my luck in here as #ubuntu+1 is kind of dead :) [08:35] dryeyes, same here [08:35] hey, is skype supposed to be available in the repository?

[08:36] damn I guess I'm back to ubuntuforums.org [08:36] laptop [08:37] and I think so [08:37] dryeyes, what does apm -v tell you? [08:37] the error is: module just doesn't define the alias [08:37] without doing sudo gedit, is there a way to open (in File Browser) a file and run the gedit as su [08:37] not installed [08:38] Well I have another problem, when I install the video drivers what ubuntu say me to install, when i restart my pc, my LCD Screen goes crazy and show a loot of colors but dont show the login screen. [08:38] gksudo? [08:38] do i have to get the sykpe binary from the site? [08:39] Have any of you used Gizmo ? for sip/im ? [08:39] pvh: should I install it (apt-get) [08:39] apmd [08:39] . [08:39] dryeyes, well, there's the problem ;) i tried modprobe apm, and it failed on my side, so i don't think i've got the right hardware...

I need little help please. In shell script I want to save input stream to file. Here my example: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62607/ (it is only 11 lines). I am not sure is it correct, and is it possible anything else to change the initial input stream?

I only see search, recently used and mounted filesystems. Can I browse for it somewhere in the filesystem tree? [08:52] Does anyone know how to configure a sound device with virt-manager / libvirt? [08:53] tarelerulz [08:53] mmm4m5m: I would probably do it more like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62608/ [08:53] what is that [08:55] icesword [08:56] I am doing some backups and have a silly question; where are the list of packages stored that installed. somewhere in the /etc directory? [08:56] smart card is not detecting in my laptop [08:57] hello, i am looking for a solution for remotely accessing my files and streaming them by choice [08:57] does anyone know about a program that can do that?

[08:58] hi [08:58] * doom_ good morning all! :D [08:58] geirha: 10x a lot. my case is litle different, but your example do answer my question. thank you again. [08:58] good morning [08:59] how r u sathya [08:59] great! [08:59] so i could remotely log in using ssh and run vlc for example to stream a movie? === doom_ is now known as DOOM_NX [09:00] Is ekiga to call other user of the network ? I try it before and my acount kept timing out after one day . I thought maybe I missed you had to pay some where in there [09:00] wubi is coming ;] [09:01] tarelerulz, you need to buy something likely [09:01] bazhang, it sucks [09:01] icesword: not so; no more partitioning woes [09:01] woes? [09:02] woes = problems [09:02] it is damn slow? [09:02] where does wubi install ubuntu? [09:02] hi [09:02] not if you use lvpm to transfer to its own space [09:02] how can i make the desktops wrap around (not using compiz)? [09:02] xtknight, search wubi,if you have 512+ ram [09:03] !3d [09:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about 3d - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:03] :( [09:03] inside of a file initially xtknight; though you can put it into its own partition if you wish [09:03] o [09:03] xtknight: you can /msg ubotu wubi for some very good links [09:03] Wubi is right movie for Ubuntu. Anyway you can get Ubuntu to more people is all ways better. I don't know how good Ubuntu install that way is . it looked to be all Ubuntu was in couple of files and not really layed out on the ntfs partition [09:04] bazhang, wubi still uses .virtual.disk? [09:04] icesword: nay it is a real install [09:04] see [09:04] then it is good [09:04] very [09:04] bazhang , It really installs Ubuntu on the Nntfs partion ? [09:05] tarelerulz: into a file; you can move it onto its own partition later if you wish; you can read more at wubi-installer.org [09:06] Is have Uubntu in file better then have the files that make Ubuntu installed on the partitoin ? [09:06] lucky_su, su zhe?hiya [09:06] no [09:06] Any of you Use Gizmo ? [09:06] no what [09:06] tarelerulz: for newer users it is the best way; once they get used to it they can put into its own partition--not difficult at all really [09:07] what is gizmo tarelerulz [09:08] gizmo is like skype [09:08] thanks damo23 [09:08] I think so for the most part [09:08] Been trying to get it working . I read it can call gtalk [09:08] nice [09:08] how to install the ubuntu linux in eee pc [09:08] what is gtalk? [09:09] ? [09:09] geirha: would you like to take a look again. I think using sudo and redirect is wrong: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62610/ [09:09] what is a preferred gvim? vim-full? [09:09] Gtalk is goolge's im/voip calling system [09:09] Devil, from cd i guess [09:09] Devil they have a channel #eeepc and a very good wiki at www.eeeuser.com [09:10] blbrown: depends on your needs I would suppose [09:10] is this the place for ubuntu studio concerns? [09:10] tell me how to use the smart card in my laptop [09:10] They only thing about gizmo is I can't find anyone to call to see how it wall works [09:10] qrwe: /join #ubuntustudio [09:10] qrwe: you can ask though they do have their own channel as well [09:10] but my friend tell me it can not use the wireless [09:10] does anyone know how to put my card in monitor mode (or even if it can be done for my card) how do i find out if i cant be. [09:10] damo23: thanks [09:11] Devil: that is simply not true; it can use all of the features now [09:11] geirha: my question is about this line: gksu echo > "$sudo_save" [09:11] mmm4m5m: yes, that won't work [09:11] Devil: check out their wiki [09:12] mmm4m5m: how about something like this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62611/ [09:12] geirha: I want full input stream redirect (hope other commands will not read from input) [09:12] mmm4m5m: you save it to a temporary file first, then move it to the correct place [09:12] bazhang, i am using smart card but it is not detecting [09:13] bazhang, there is no any info related to this in dmesg [09:13] ganes you need to provide more info; what are you trying to do and what errors have you gotten, etc [09:13] mmm4m5m: you can play nice games with "tee sudo" [09:13] geirha: 10x a lot :)... step by step to linux guru :) [09:13] damo23: what is "tee sudo" :) [09:13] bazhang, i just want to make it to detect(smart card) in my laptop [09:14] mmm4m5m: tee lets you send a pipe to 2 directions [09:14] bazhang, after inserting the card i didnt find any message [09:15] bazhang, how to check whethere it is detected or not [09:15] does anyone know how to put my card in monitor mode (or even if it can be done for my card) how do i find out if i cant be. [09:15] icesword: no [09:15] jaffarkelshac: im guessing iwconfig ... [09:16] mmm4m5m: yes, as damo23 suggests, you can also do: cat | gksu tee "$sudo_save" >/dev/null [09:16] lucky_su, hehe,you use ubuntu or ? [09:16] jaffarkelshac, sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor [09:16] jaffarkelshac, or use kismet [09:16] my card is ath0, but it does not enter monitor mode, i get an error [09:17] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600354 ganes here is a thread at the forums; that is your best bet unless someone here has a similar situation--I just searched for smart card in the ubuntuforums search box and this was one of the hits I got [09:17] damo23: 10x, for this example I think temp file is better for me. I am 2 months old, yesterday I hear what is pipe :). [09:18] geirha: why >/dev/null - I would like to see if any output/errors are there. And temp file is better... because immediately I take full input stream [09:18] what's the bash substitution for the pid of the last command? [09:19] man bash is useless [09:19] hi! can anyone answer a question concerning LVM ? [09:19] bid1, better to just ask the question [09:19] mmm4m5m: tee sends the output to the file-name you specify, and to stdout. So >/dev/null send the output to stdout to a void, and the output is only written to the file (with root privileges) [09:19] cwillu: everyone asleep in the bash channel? [09:20] bazhang, point taken :p [09:20] geirha: oh, ok, right! is it possible to end with many temp files which? maybe I could add "delete temp file" [09:20] bid1, everybody fell asleep in the lvm channel? (bazhang :p) [09:20] haha [09:20] geirha: what ever. this help was more then enough. 10x a lot :) [09:20] hey :) i'm considering making a bootable usb HDD with ubuntu, to be used for image duplication. [09:20] icesword: ubuntu & fedora & debian [09:20] i have a VG with 1.65TB consisting of 3 PV with 750, 500 and 400GB. Can I create a striped LV with 1.65TB ? [09:21] damo23, geirha: will do it without temp file :), it is better :) [09:21] what's the easiest way of instyalling ubuntu on a usb HDD? [09:21] mmm4m5m, you should be careful with something like this .. if [ "sudo_save" != '' ]; then # it doesnt do what you expect it to do :) [09:21] * cwillu was half serious when he pointed bid1 at #lvm :p [09:22] unop_: what it does? :) [09:22] basically i want to ditch Ghost and DOS [09:22] cwillu, didn't see your last message, is there a LVM-channel ? [09:22] i hate having to resort to tacky dos boot disks for anything bootable... [09:22] what is the linux alternative to ghost? [09:22] yep [09:22] there is clonezilla that looks good [09:23] damo23, well, every live cd known to man will work as a ghost alternative :p [09:23] but not yet used, just read up [09:23] ah, i see... great. [09:23] there is a #lvm channel ;] http://sources.redhat.com/lvm2/ [09:23] aftertaf, the installing-ubuntu-on-an-eeepc has a good write up of installing a livecd onto usb [09:23] i need to dupliacate and distribute XP images : corporate no way out-ness :( [09:23] cwillu: thx :) [09:23] cwillu: i mean an app that does it [09:23] damo23, what aspect did you need? [09:24] cwillu: just rsync? [09:24] mmm4m5m, it checks to see if the string "sudo_save" is not empty .. and that will always return true .. you want to check the variable $sudo_save .. better written as if [ -n "$sudo_save" ]; then .. [09:24] mmm4m5m, more on that in 'help test' [09:24] damo23, gnome's partition editor will probably do everything you need, I usually just use live cd's plus rsync, scp or dd+netcat to do images [09:25] okay, the really seem asleep in #lvm [09:25] cwillu: ntfs partitions :( [09:25] cwillu: what is netcat [09:25] !info netcat [09:25] netcat (source: netcat): TCP/IP swiss army knife. In component main, is important. Version 1.10-33 (gutsy), package size 64 kB, installed size 228 kB [09:25] damo23, exactly what it says on the tin :p [09:25] cat, over the network [09:25] cwillu: for DD etc. plus the size of direct duplication is too big for distributing... [09:26] lol [09:26] cwillu: you have a url for the eeepc thing, google fills me with randomness :) [09:26] is there a way to use emerald themes with metacity? (especially since iirc emerald was actually created for backwards compatibility with metacity) [09:26] aftertaf, dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=65536 | gzip | netcat target.host is the command line burned into my brain :p [09:26] HI guys, how can I can i change my screen resolution [09:26] !eeepc [09:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about eeepc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:26] damn you ubotu [09:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [09:27] actually, here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [09:27] hi there, I'm new to ubuntu and having trouble getting the GDM to work. [09:27] After a firefox crash, Ubuntu gets stuck on "System hardware abstraction layer" for about [09:27] 3 mins before switching to console mode. how to switch back in GDM? [09:27] thanks dude [09:27] unop_: 10x a lot [09:27] !ur [09:27] Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [09:27] lmao [09:28] u r !ur'ing why? [09:28] lol [09:28] yeah why? y? [09:29] anyways, I'll take this to offtopic :p aftertaf, ntfs-3g is on the livecd's as well afaik [09:29] bcoz 'tis n0t kewl ta sp3ll lik3 tis. [09:29] i.e., you can rsync that [09:30] rsync -av rocks [09:30] cwillu: thx a lot man, good help :) [09:30] i cant rid my job of XP, but i can damn well introduce some penguin goodness :) [09:31] aftertaf, you're not trying hard enough [09:31] aftertaf, I needed xp for work, and so I converted the company to ubuntu :p [09:31] it was easier that way [09:31] hehe i know, but we have in house develoment requiring borland libraries not maintaned in nuxland. [09:31] you're doing it wrong [09:32] shivamib: :) if the guys had a say in it they'd do it . . . we're alreadu switching to postgres :) [09:32] aftertaf, you could use wine with the libs, no? [09:33] aftertaf: well, godspeed then! [09:33] cwillu: thinking of trying it too :) just for the libs, while compiling C++ for linux? [09:33] woried about perfs with all under wine. [09:33] perfs=performance? [09:33] alcohol is an inhibitor :D [09:34] cwillu: er, yeah sorry :) [09:34] it's not an emulator, it's a reimplementation, performance should be at least close [09:34] * aftertaf is a sedret abbreviator [09:34] with a drunk keyboard :) [09:34] s/d/c [09:36] cwillu: wine? ok worth a try.... using the windiws compiled executables and the librarires...? [09:37] aftertaf, yep [09:37] you'll probably have to do some work to figure out what other libs you need, but once you've got it figured out, you're golden [09:37] ok. nice summer project when the boss is on holiday :) [09:38] i think i have most of they isolated already . . . [09:38] fight the power! [09:38] and the common windoze ones are a lready covered in wine. [09:38] fight the power that be! [09:39] wine after beer, risky [09:39] or was it whiskey [09:39] is there a simple way to get ubuntu to control my old laptop's fan speed? Its an old gateway thats not acpi compliant [09:40] beer before rye, isn't it? [09:41] slow metabolising alcohol before fast metabolizing alcohol will hit you harder [09:41] or something like that, dunno [09:42] well, kinda late for that [09:42] hey all! anyone know what the boot message aperture size too small (32mb) means? [09:42] Aristocles, means, not enough memory is being used to render your graphics .. you should be able to fix this in the BIOS somewhere [09:43] guys how can set my screens resolution, i am a newbie, just got a new 24 inch monitor [09:44] how do i backup my xorg [09:44] how do i backup my xorg [09:44] codename: the file? sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.backup [09:45] pfff [09:45] lucky_su, oic [09:45] unop, i've looked in the bios. no such option. [09:45] hi, My Ubuntu gets stuck on "System hardware abstraction layer" for about [09:45] 3 mins before switching to console mode. Anybody knows why? [09:45] I'm stumped. [09:46] Aristocles, it depends on the bios, but there will be a setting to control the vga aperature size [09:46] how do i backup my xorg [09:46] sorry for asking [09:46] got to head cya later [09:46] codename, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/my-xorg-backup [09:47] codename, sudo cp -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.bkp} [09:48] kk [09:48] how can i install all codecs in 7.10 ?

[09:58] millertime_018: explain your problem again, with card model and symptoms... someone will pick up on it. [09:58] millertime_018, I think you need to install linux-backports-modules, and then follow the rest of the instructions under 'method g' on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller [09:59] NVM!

[10:20] try cranking up your surround [10:20] lspci|grep -i audio [10:20] i have the same laptop running ubuntu [10:20] sound works fine [10:20] no its not an issue of volume [10:20] try plugging in a headphone [10:20] works as well [10:20] what is it then? [10:20] yea im guessing you have the headphone plugged in but the built in speakers DONT work and thats whats bothering me [10:21] they do work [10:21] open your volume controls [10:21] in the right upper corner [10:21] 82801H [10:21] then open ub the surround control [10:21] then it should work [10:21] I JUST TOLD you its not [10:21] i spent some time searching for it as well [10:21] wait the ub surround control [10:21] ? [10:22] yes [10:22] open up volume control [10:22] wheres it at? [10:22] right upper corner [10:22] oh DOUBLE CLICK IT! [10:22] arrrrrg! [10:22] yes [10:22] lol [10:22] then crank up the surround [10:22] bar [10:22] did the trick for me [10:22] hey everyone anyone else getting an issue with synaptic trying to update nexuiz to the latest backported version? seems broken here. [10:23] messed around with it first, but dont think i really changed anything [10:23] no its still not working [10:23] ohw :/ [10:23] like i turned up the speaker volume [10:23] what does "cd" command does in the terminal ? [10:23] Neil3, you don't have the backport repository enabled for everything do you? [10:23] wheres this surround sound volume ur talking about? [10:23] orgthingy, changes the current directory [10:23] its under the tab playback [10:24] cwillu, i just have it ticked in the software sources app [10:24] do preferences [10:24] and click everything [10:24] edit preferences [10:24] select everything there [10:24] then it should show [10:24] preferences? [10:24] Neil3, probably best to untick it [10:24] under the tab playback [10:24] edit -> preferences [10:24] one can easily reset root;s password in recovery mode,right? [10:24] !enter | lars [10:24] lars: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:25] ok [10:25] Neil3, it's good for particular packages, but it's not intended as a general os upgrade really [10:25] How stale is 8.04 LTS? [10:25] cwillu, ok, i just like having the latest apps though :) [10:25] Stable even [10:25] one can easily reset root;s password in recovery mode,right? [10:26] TerrorBite, read the motd in #ubuntu+1 [10:26] !hardy | TerrorBite [10:26] TerrorBite: 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 [10:26] one can easily reset root;s password in recovery mode,right? [10:26] icesword, you don't need to ever do that [10:26] TerrorBite, it's stable for me, but that doesn't mean anything will work for you:p [10:26] cwillu, this is an EeePC so, who knows [10:26] icesword, you should be presented with a root shell in recovery mode, thats more than enough [10:26] icesword, you can reset your password, it's strongly recommended that you don't actually set a root password [10:26] unop_, you answer my question indirectly means answer is yes [10:27] icesword, ok, yes, but dont do that.. :) [10:27] I had to do a clean install but 8.04 seems stable here too [10:27] TerrorBite, well, let me know; I'd imagine the wireless will work better than it does under 7.10, but beyond that, I haven't been brave enough to update any of my eeepc's to 8.04 yet :) [10:27] that means leaving backdoors [10:27] icesword, how so? [10:27] icesword, backdoors? [10:27] icesword, physical access to the machine always means you can root the box; it's not a backdoor so much as a concession to reality [10:28] I ran update-manager -d and I'm about to hit the button [10:28] TerrorBite, -> #ubuntu+1 please :p [10:28] cwillu, if someone know this,he can reset my root very easily [10:28] cwillu, ok [10:28] I had problems with certain kernels with wireless 8.04 did run out of the box... [10:28] icesword, if I can get to your computer, I can do that already [10:29] cwillu, how do you mean [10:29] icesword, everyone knows this, so yes .. but that goes with any system, as long as you have physical access to a machine, you can compromise the superuser account, same with windows, same with unix, same with cisco, etc [10:29] icesword, root not having a password means you can't log into it from a booted computer === Koks is now known as gnafu [10:29] icesword, you can boot up from recovery mode, but that won't let you crack it over the network [10:29] or do i need to wait until its released [10:30] icesword, so, the only way I can take advantage of recovery mode is if I'm physically at your computer [10:30] icesword, now, if the computer is locked up with only the keyboard and monitor exposed, _then_ we can talk about the methods to lock down recovery mode as well (and it can be done easily) [10:30] cwillu, if that is ,then it is different with debian [10:31] icesword, but if I can touch the box itself, I can root it _regardless_ of the software you load on it [10:31] see also: r00t3d [10:31] icesword, I can root a windows laptop, a mac osx server, a bsd, a debian, a slackware, etc [10:31] cwillu, youwantto hack me [10:32] ohhh,you said you can touch......ooops [10:32] icesword, you can't even start to worry about securing the recovery console until you've already taken care of the physical security of the box [10:32] and in the vast majority of cases, the physical security is a better option than trying to lock down the recovery console [10:33] hello, how can I make genome terminal show only the current directory not the whole path ? Thanks [10:33] icesword, understand what I mean? [10:33] cwillu, oic,thank you ,man [10:34] hello, can some ask to my questions ? that applications show in desktop status message about change volume and Brightness ? in ubuntu [10:35] Time_Out, just ask, don't ask to ask [10:35] alexmart, maybe this. $PS1="\W\$" [10:36] cwillu, u cat answer to question? [10:36] unop__ should I just type that in the terminal ? [10:36] can* [10:36] !ask [10:36] 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. :-) [10:36] * shivamib needs food badly! [10:36] alexmart, yes, if it works and you are happy with it, you need to put that on a line of its own in this file. ~/.bashrc [10:37] hey guys, is it possible to aggreate two iscsi box into one LUN ? [10:38] Time_Out, you haven't asked a question yet [10:38] if ive got a folder /home/files which is a smbfs mount to //mywindowserver/files and i now want to access the /home/files from /var/www/site/tempfolder does it need to be a SMB or a NFS share and how can i do it?

[10:42] cwillu, i touch the RaiseVolume key in keyboard .. and in desktop show hint-message about it [10:42] is it possible to find out + download those dependencies so i can pass the program to him? [10:43] cwillu, i want know name this program [10:44] gnome?

[10:45] ow would i have to reverse engineer the package then? [10:45] Time_Out, run xwininfo in a terminal, then hit the volume key, and click on the popup [10:45] Time_Out, that _might_ give you some info [10:46] when is gnome 2.22 in the official repos? [10:46] inminic: ubuntu 8.4 [10:46] thanks [10:46] np [10:46] inminic, it won't be in gutsy at all [10:47] it will be in hardy whcihc is in about two weeks from now [10:47] inminic, hardy goes final in about 2 weeks [10:47] i saw that. will be great [10:47] iwconfig [interface] mode monitor (obviously I replaced [interface] with either wlan0, ath0 or eth1, but NON worked!) [10:47] :( [10:47] * orgthingy slaps himself [10:47] hello, ive got a problem compiling a programm which uses the asm/dma.h. anyone experience with that? (using c on kubuntu 7.10) [10:47] inminic: what are you referring to? i basically saw not much of a difference? XD [10:48] FXMaveric, what program? (you'll almost certainly have better luck on an irc channel for that program [10:48] fx|RabBit, nothing really, pure curiosity ;) [10:48] inminic: kk i c;) [10:48] anyone know why, when ever i execute an install it says "Couldn't Find package *package name*"?? [10:48] cwillu just a program with #include a main() and return 0; in it :D [10:48] Is it possible to find out the dependencies of an already installed program? (to install a 3g wireless card driver on another computer) [10:49] so, what should i do :P ? [10:49] b0x: how do you attempt to install?

[11:01] ok [11:01] Mine isn't working the way it's supposed to. [11:01] any acer orbicam drivers for buntu? [11:01] working links lol? [11:01] In vi keystrokes aren't what they are supposed to be.

[11:02] there should be googux [11:02] b0x: but do so only in the same paragraph, dont uncomment all of it!!! [11:02] Also I can't change the shell for root back over to bash.

[11:03] !offtpic | buried [11:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about offtpic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:03] fx|RabBit [11:03] !offtopic | buried [11:03] buried: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:03] lol [11:03] lol I know [11:03] it wont open with mcedit because its not installed and i can install it cause sudo wont work [11:03] I was about to say that [11:03] oops copy and pasted [11:03] b0x: yes? [11:03] cant* [11:03] I was about to paste to aMSN [11:04] accidently ended up here [11:04] sorry guys [11:04] Ack! [11:04] b0x: can't what? [11:04] open it with mcedit [11:04] cause mcedit aint installed [11:04] b0x, what are you editing? [11:04] b0x, try gedit instead [11:04] b0x: then open it with nano [11:04] or vim :p [11:04] cwillu: hes a newbe man [11:05] fx|RabBit, gotta learn eventually :) [11:05] ok, so iv opend it in nano [11:05] a while back I read about a version of ubuntu linux that you can install on a ntfs partition? [11:05] cwillu: but not vim that crap aint no good for nuttin [11:05] i need to edit after "in source.list" [11:05] any of you hear of Gizmo does voip/im ? For windows, Mac and Linux ? if so have you gotten it to work [11:06] * shivamib senses imminent *moment of truth* [11:06] i tried ubuntu before and I didn't like it, but I'm itching to get out of windows for a while because I waste all my time in games [11:06] b0x: you need to edit after the statement saying that the sources could not be verified and are so being uncommented [11:06] b0x: i guess you had no lan cable attached while install? [11:07] so I thought maybe i'd try out this new ntfs partition ubuntu, but I don't know if it's stable [11:07] i did [11:07] i was internet runing while i installed [11:07] had* [11:07] so who here wants to tell me the score? [11:07] Is it possible to put new software on a palm with ubuntu? [11:07] b0x: you were not online for some reason [11:07] mm [11:07] cause it updated [11:07] b0x: or you picked a server that was offline at that time [11:07] Greetings all! Does anybody have some time to help me sort out my sound problem? Basically, no input or output since my last update (I'm tracking Hardy). Unlike some of the other bug reports, I don't think it's kernel related. The devices seem to exist, and no obvious error message anywhere. Just no sound. [11:07] ariqs: are you referring to wubi, ubuntu installed inside windows? [11:08] perhaps, ziroday. it was a version of ubuntu you could run off a ntfs partition [11:08] AmiGanguli: hardy in #ubuntu+1 please and audio is a sore issue right now :) [11:09] Ziroday: thanks. Will try there. I'll keep that in mind and try not to offend anybody ;-). [11:09] ariqs: yes it is known as wubi, it is only for ubuntu hardy which is in beta stage right now, which means its relatively unstable and you run it at your own risk. I personally have not tried it but I am sure you can find someone in #ubuntu+1 [11:09] I really need some feedback on my terminal emulation issue ;_;. I use vi for school. [11:09] thanks ziroday. I guess i'm not interested then [11:09] im really confused at wat im removing [11:09] stability is important to me ;) [11:10] ariqs: then wait till the end of this month [11:10] When I hit Up Arrow for history it puts ^[[A instead. [11:10] ## Uncommend the following two lines to add software from canoncals [11:10] When I hit any of the arrows while in insert mode it will place a capital A, B, or C [11:10] In vi that is. [11:11] ok i got it [11:11] how do i exit and save with nano? [11:11] umm [11:11] hehe [11:11] read what it says at the bottom i dont know by heart... [11:11] I don't like how, when I partitin a segment off for linux, I can't use that segment in windows anymore. Why the NTFS version of ubuntu was appealing, but stability > everything else [11:11] b0x: after that do sudo apt-get update [11:12] the it oughta work again [11:12] moroo [11:12] b0x: ## Uncommend the following two lines to add software from canoncals not that ones [11:13] b0x: # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: # deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy multiverse [11:13] that ones [11:14] God, why am I being ignored? I'm not asking a newbie question. I know how to use bash and c shell. I know how to write PERL scripts. But the terminal won't read my keyboard correctly ;_; [11:14] maybe people don't know the answer, deus [11:15] Well that's all I wanted to know. If I don't get an answer, I don [11:15] I don't think anyone heard me. [11:15] !patience [11:15] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [11:15] Right. But "I don't know" is a fair answer too =D [11:16] I'm going to get a somewhat biased answer in here, but what is the best desktop flavor of linux? [11:16] ariqs: yes [11:16] deusprogrammer: would you expect 1175 users to say they don't know, that'd make a mess of the channel [11:16] In any case I'm sorry. [11:16] deusprogrammer: you are probably usein the wrong xmodmap [11:16] I'm just frustrated ;_; [11:17] I'm writing a forking assignment for Systems programming in C, and vi keeps messing up. [11:17] deusprogrammer: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us for example changes it to us layout [11:17] last time I ran ubuntu, what drove me away was all the typing of passwords and having to jump through so many hoops just to get java running and such. Is it more friendly these days? [11:17] deusprogrammer, what terminal are you using, is it just within vi or with all terminal applications? [11:17] All terminal applications. [11:17] deusprogrammer: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.de changes to german, an so on... [11:18] ariqs: yes it is [11:18] do i wanna remove the # from backports? [11:18] ariqs, something still need running through hoops and loops tho .. that might never change [11:18] b0x NO! [11:18] kk [11:19] or someone [11:19] done [11:19] now do i reboot? [11:19] I tried it but it's still putting ^[[A when I hit up for history. [11:19] And the letters in VIM when I hit the arrow keys. [11:19] b0x: as i told you before ONLY WHERE IT SAYS Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: [11:19] is it gnome or kde these days? [11:19] I bet it's my keyboard. I have heard Ubuntu and Saitek keyboards don't get alone for some reason ^.^ [11:20] deusprogrammer: you tryed what the xmodmap? [11:20] Yes. I used the xmodmap.us [11:20] deusprogrammer: my keyboard is the same - its a dell [11:20] ariqs, there are many flavours, ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, etc [11:20] And it still didn't work. [11:20] deusprogrammer: if you have that suspicion yust change the kleyboard;) [11:20] deusprogrammer: in that case i have no further clues for you, sry m8 [11:20] what makes the best desktop, unop? [11:20] But I loves my glowing keyboard ;_; [11:20] hello everybody [11:21] !paranoia [11:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about paranoia - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:21] Thanks anyways folks ^^. I appreciate it. [11:21] anyone use the Ubuntu Cutomization Kit? [11:21] rats! [11:21] deusprogrammer: get yourself a logitec g15 that one glows too hehe [11:21] deusprogrammer: np [11:21] www.nopaste.org/p/azikkqfpn [11:21] I was thinking about that actually. The G15 was the one I wanted before. [11:21] deusprogrammer, what does this give you? echo $TERM [11:21] xterm [11:22] deusprogrammer, this? echo $SHELL [11:22] Should be csh, let me check. [11:22] /bin/csh [11:23] At this rate I'm going to sleep through Comp Org 2 tomorrow lol [11:23] deusprogrammer, seems like a csh issue, better ask in #csh [11:23] It was doing it in bash also. [11:23] no preference on best desktop flavor, unop? [11:23] hello, everybody, I am using kubuntu first time [11:23] * ariqs gives niloy a gold star [11:24] After installing kubuntu in my machine from a livecd [11:24] I ma facing some problems [11:24] fx|RabBit can i please pm you? :S i done it but i stil cant install shit [11:24] i reboot see if that works [11:24] did u do : apt-get update yet box? [11:24] i dno if i was ment 2 [11:25] ariqs, best is a relative term, i can't really be objective when recommending distros .. i find that what works for me with the least hassle is my 'best' .. and currently, they are debian and ubuntu depending on what i need [11:25] yes lars_ [11:25] !ohmy | b0x [11:25] b0x: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [11:25] My graphics is in too low resolution and I can't hear any sound [11:25] ? [11:25] .. [11:25] ?? [11:25] b0x> fx|RabBit can i please pm you? :S i done it but i stil cant install s*** [11:25] Did you install the drivers for your video card and sound card yet nilroy? [11:25] and can't also play any movie [11:25] how [11:25] ? [11:26] Are you running on a desktop or a laptop? [11:26] DESKTOP [11:26] niloy: which gfx card? [11:26] deusprogrammer, Do i need to install thoose after installation of kubuntu [11:26] Sometimes it's hard to find the video card driver for a laptop. [11:26] nvidia [11:27] ariqs, what are you looking for in a desktop? [11:27] Sometimes you do. Especially in the case of the nvidia drivers. [11:27] jussi01, on board intel sis [11:27] im still geting "E: Couldn't find package *Package name*" [11:27] !fixres | niloy [11:27] niloy: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [11:27] Eww. lol j/k [11:27] jussi01, I am using laptop [11:27] unop: I'll be browsing the web, writing c++/pyhton programs and playing games mostly [11:27] bye bye [11:28] ariqs: Do you do any game programming? [11:28] not yet [11:28] have u tried doing the the gui way yet, b0x ? system --> administration --> synaptic packet manager [11:28] If you ever do, I am looking for people for a project I'm doing. [11:28] ariqs, ubuntu works well then .. games might still be a problem, depends on whether wine supports them (and how well) [11:29] the programs arnt lited in there [11:29] so i want ubuntu as opposed to kubuntu or xunbuntu, unop? [11:29] ariqs, depends on whether you want a gnome, kde or xfce desktop? [11:29] I was originally writing it for XBox Arcade...but now I really want to mess with OpenGL. [11:30] I wonder if I can still do mode13h in Linux lol [11:30] b0x, you've got no synaptic package manager? [11:30] ariqs, if you want them all (which you can have), install ubuntu and then the kde and xfce packages later on [11:30] i don't know what i want, unop ;) [11:30] no [11:30] iv got it [11:30] does gnome of kde make the better desktop? [11:30] ah ok [11:30] but my programs i want to install arnt listed in it [11:31] b0x, then you cant install them through apt-get either afaik [11:31] how do i install gz files? [11:31] ariqs, again, thats only something you can decide, it differs from person to person .. gnome errs on the side of similicity, kde on the side of flexibility .. there are pros and cons to both [11:31] b0x, unpack them, run a make install [11:32] ok, i guess I'll just try them both. Thankyou unop [11:32] lars_, not all gzip compressed files are source packages :) [11:32] unop_, no but if he's looking to install a program that one probably is :) [11:33] Okay one good thing. I just switched back to bash and one problem is solved. [11:33] lars_, i know many installer packages that are gzip compressed and require you run a script rather than a makefile .. [11:33] <_Zombie_> anyone using ubuntu for gaming with a mouse like the mx518 having 10 keys (mouswheel = 3 keys) [11:34] hey lars_, where re you from? [11:34] GIn, belgium [11:34] Now I have another problem...I am trying to switch my root back over to bash too, but chsh is returning "PAM Authentication Failed" [11:34] k [11:34] i'm trying to enable ssh login via pub keys and must be doing something wrong. i have "AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh2/authorized_keys" in my sshd_config file, but i still can't login with a keypair. any help? [11:34] <_Zombie_> last time i installed ubuntu and tried, i was able to map all 10 keys to a shortcut , but the newly bound keys would not work if i hit several keys same time [11:34] dont do that then [11:35] <_Zombie_> so my question is, is there a new driver out for mice which allows for all 10 keys to work, and yet allow for them to be pushed at the same time ? [11:35] deusprogrammer, what command exactly? [11:36] I am under sudo su, and I tried to run #chsh so I could change it's default shell back to bash. [11:36] It takes the password and then says "PAM Authentication Failed" [11:36] Hi, can anyone give me a hand with xmgrace? Having trouble getting to read dates properly. [11:36] ubuntu.com says 8.04 is coming soon. Should I wait for 8.04 before I download? [11:36] Hi! I installed ubuntu 7.10 a week ago. How does the wireless network applet works? I click on "connect to other network" and fill in ssid and wpa pass; it connects ok. At next boot, I have to do it all again. Is there anythin that i should configure to save ssid/wpa pass for the next boot? [11:37] kwirk, depends on your hardware [11:38] aAdblock pluss extention doesn't work with firefox-3. Any suggestions? [11:38] deusprogrammer, do you get the error on sudo or chsh? [11:38] chsh [11:38] LazyAngel, beta 5,known issue [11:38] deusprogrammer, the syntax for chsh is chsh -s /bin/bash username [11:38] icesword: the one from backport was just updated from beta 3 to beta 4. Not beta 5 [11:38] why is the download 7.10 and the coming soon is 8.04. What about all the versions in between? [11:39] mmm4m5m, no pms please [11:39] mmm4m5m, see !pm [11:39] hah, good to know unop, I almost msged you [11:39] Let me try that. [11:39] !pm [11:39] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [11:39] hi, i just download ubuntu server edition. And installed it. But how do i ci [11:39] icesword: Um, i'm using ubuntu 7.10. My dates are in european format. So i'm using the xmgrace -datehint european and it opens with all the dates in the wrong order, with the x-axis in 1.72E+06... [11:40] unop_: you told everything else in 'help info'. My question was what is 'help info'? is it IRC room? :) [11:40] sir,i don't understand [11:40] hi, i just download ubuntu server edition. And installed it. But how do i config the network to static ip? [11:40] mmm4m5m, its a command .. try it out :) [11:40] :) [11:40] I still get the same error. [11:40] ariqs: the number is year/date ( Oct 2007 / Apr 2008 ) [11:40] help info [11:40] lol [11:40] chsh: PAM authentication failed [11:40] chsh: PAM authentication failed [11:40] chsh: PAM authentication failed [11:40] icesword: we both talking about xmgrace here??? [11:41] Oops [11:41] Sorry. [11:41] Didn't mean to hit it three times. [11:41] * shivamib our base is under attack! [11:41] kwirk, i am sorry ,sir cannot help,i am noob [11:41] icesword: cheers......................... [11:42] deusprogrammer, i dunno why you are being asked for a password there, you shouldnt be .. root should be able to change the user's shell with no prompt of any kind [11:42] deusprogrammer, exit, and get back to root with this. sudo -i # then try again [11:42] deusprogrammer, or even better. sudo chsh -s /bin/bash $USER [11:42] kwirk, sorry,cheers? [11:43] what up kids [11:43] is there any url/wiki introducing about how wireless network works in ubuntu? I need to learn how to "save" some ssid and wpa-pass to connect automatically to the places that I go. [11:43] lol [11:43] unop_: looks like I do not have such command... except if they are two separate commands 'help' and 'info' [11:44] try it in your terminal [11:44] shivamib, what is that [11:44] !terminal [11:44] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [11:46] It still does it ;_; [11:46] I probably should have never changed the root's shell in the first place. [11:47] I was just more accustomed to csh as far as setting up it's .cshrc [11:47] But oh well. Looks like I'll just have to put it into bash manually from now on. [11:48] Unless there is some file where I can set it manually to what it's supposed to be. [11:48] deusprogrammer, /etc/passwd [11:48] careful when editing that tho [11:48] does ubuntu(server) change grub kernel parameters from time to time? [11:49] deusprogrammer: usermod doesnt work on root? [11:49] zcat[1]_: ahh, thanks [11:50] zcat: if I get the beta, will it take much downloading to update it to release, or will I be stuck with beta until I download a whole new version? [11:50] i have a slow connection :) [11:51] ariqs, Wait two weeks for the official release.. [11:51] Holy crap p33 you are a genius =D [11:51] usermod worked =D [11:52] Thank you so much you two =D [11:52] Now if I could just get vi to work right. [11:52] Oh well I can just use gedit. [11:53] deusprogrammer: gedit has super powers [11:54] shivamib: I know it does XD. My teacher just wants us to use vi. [11:54] haha, just took a look at ubtuntu philosophy "Every computer user should be given every opportunity to use software, even if they work under a disability." you're saying retards can use ubuntu too!? :P [11:54] deusprogrammer: ;) [11:54] I think they could =3 [11:55] aparently [11:55] I finally took the leap though. My home is now Windows free. [11:55] ariqs: if you download the beta, you can expect about 30 to 100M of updates per day, or a whole lot of updates (I think almost everything, so probably almost the whole CD worth) if you just wait until release day and update [11:55] The only thing I will miss is being able to play World of Warcraft. [11:56] deusprogrammer: actuallt WoW works rather well in wine [11:56] <_Zombie_> wow works perfectly in linux [11:56] thanks, zcat [11:56] i upgraded to gutsy from feisty, GNOME load is very slow is thee any fix ? [11:56] the only game I ever got working in wine, to be honest!\ [11:57] <_Zombie_> it works better than in windows except the mouse buttons, you can use only the standard buttons efficiently [11:57] <_Zombie_> which is the reason i play wow in windows still [11:57] ariqs: orca screenreader is awesome .. I have a blind friend and the equivalent software for windows (JAWS) costs more than windows .. [11:57] * Pelo beats himself up for trying the beta [11:58] .. and is NOT as good as orca imho.. a lot of windows software can't be used with jaws [11:58] Really? It works in Wine? [11:58] At near full speed? [11:58] deusprogrammer: really really [11:58] Wow...I need to try that. [11:58] tobad it's a god awful game [11:59] lol [11:59] sorry, not more than windows.. ten times the cost of windows [11:59] Compared to the game I'm going to make it is. [11:59] anyone have any recent experience with ubuntu on a HP Compaq nc8430 [11:59] <_Zombie_> deusprogrammer - i had more frames in linux, because i had more ram [11:59] Hello [11:59] I will have to give it a shot. [11:59] last time I installed it it was ok, but not wonderful, wondering if 7.10 and soon 8.04 would be a better experience? [12:00] I want to change some of my network settings but it hasnt asked me for a password yet so what password do I use when Iwant to change administrative settings please? [12:00] I think 8.04 is going to be awesome.. the beta is so cool [12:00] WoW is the worst mmorpg I ever played [12:00] what's so cool about the beta? [12:00] Is there a way to give my main login root privileges without using sudo? [12:00] everything.. [12:00] George Miller isnt that the name of the sergant from heartbeat [12:00] The worst MMORPG I ever played was RFO. [12:01] what is RFO? [12:01] My favorite MMO of all time though is PSO. [12:01] deusprogrammer: yes. but I'm not in the habit of telling people how to make their system less secure [12:01] don't know what either is an acronym for [12:01] RFO was Rising Force Online. It was god awful. [12:01] anybody used ubundu in toshiba l30 laptop. to me, it does not give any sound [12:01] haven't herad of it [12:01] I was just curious. I wasn't planning on actually doing it. [12:01] can anyone help me? [12:01] <_Zombie_> my best experience in an mmorpg was "ultima online" not because it was "the best" mmorpg, but because it was the first i played [12:01] Of course not, it's just that bad. [12:02] <_Zombie_> its like the first sex you have is the best [12:02] I just have fond memories of Phantasy Star Online. [12:02] first sex is often times really friggin bad ;P [12:02] deusprogrammer: the easiest way is to put your user in a certain group.. that will cause sudo to not require a password, so you're still running as a normal user, you just never need to enter a password. [12:02] !o4o | _Zombie_ [12:02] _Zombie_: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) [12:02] my first mmorpg was the realm, and Id idn't care for it. My fav was everquest [12:02] I just hate sony so I refuse to play ;) [12:03] Well I did that for my /var/www/ [12:03] I just changed the group for it to webadmins [12:03] And then added myself to that group. [12:03] Is that a secure way to do it? [12:04] PS3 has no games...unless you count Talladegha Nights. [12:04] i upgraded to gutsy from feisty, GNOME load is very slow is thee any fix ? [12:04] deusprogrammer: that's the proper way, so you can write to /var/www without needing and special permissions [12:05] deusprogrammer: the best policy is to use the least amount of permission that still lets you get the job done.. [12:05] Thank you zcat ^^. [12:06] You guys have helped me very much. [12:06] I hope I can return the favor one day by helping others. [12:06] deusprogrammer, you aren't respecting privilege separation if you require your user to have root's privileges all the time - doing that isn't recommended (as you might as well run windows if you do :) ) [12:06] And users can belong to multiple groups right? [12:07] How can I find out the IP address of the wireless access point I'm connected to? [12:07] deusprogrammer: yes.. never be afraid to add another group for more fine-grained permissions :) [12:07] WOW! This thing can actually read my iPod? [12:07] lol [12:07] deusprogrammer, sure, most desktop users belong to many groups - see 'id' and 'groups' [12:07] hi [12:07] Bacta: Go into a terminal and type "ip addr" [12:08] is it possible to upgrade from Ubuntu dapper drake to Gutsy Gibbon [12:08] The ip of the wireless access point is the gate way ip [12:08] Bacta, examine the output of 'route -n' .. the ip address of the gateway of the 0.0.0.0 route should be the AP's address [12:08] Oops. Was I wrong ;_; [12:08] behold! [12:09] Bacta: ifconfig will tell you your current IP, route will tell you the gateway .. 'whatismyip.com' will tell you the real-world IP address if you're behind NAT [12:09] rizo: yes, but requires a lot of work. you should wait a few weeks for 8.04 to come out, it has a straight uprade path [12:09] sup [12:09] deusprogrammer, how can i increse my laptop screen resolution in ubuntu [12:09] Bacta: an access point is like a ethernet switch, unless it's a router or dhcp/dns server you don't get to see its ip anywhere [12:09] !fixres [12:09] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [12:09] when is 8.04 coming out? [12:09] if i just installed the beta how do i boot from windows? [12:09] rizo: 24th [12:09] please move the hardy discussion to #ubuntu+1 [12:09] what if the access point goes through a router? [12:09] Bacta: broadcast pings reveal it sometimes though. [12:10] cool [12:10] if i just installed the beta how do i boot from windows? [12:10] So much for sleeping tonight XD [12:10] void^: you know of any AP's that aren't also the router and DHCP server? [12:10] ubotu, I have run the command , but it was stucked at a line in ablack screen [12:10] rizo: for further questions, please ask in #ubuntu+1 :) [12:10] then i'll wait and upgrade then, Thanks guys [12:10] zcat[1]: yes. i use one. [12:10] Bacta, if the access point is not a router, it doesnt have an IP address [12:10] well what am I connecting to? [12:10] Bacta, to an access point [12:10] :) [12:11] how can I get at it's settings? [12:11] Bacta, i already told you [12:11] how can i increase my laptop's screen resolution.. [12:11] ? [12:11] void^: OK.. well, that's not the usual config in my experience.. most APs I run into are combo AP+DHCP+ADSL+whetever else [12:11] !fixres > niloy (see private message from ubotu) [12:12] the very lest I've seen was AP + DHCP [12:12] zcat[1]: those can still be configured to run as AP only - useful if you use a linux based server as router and dhcp server [12:12] void^: yeah, true [12:12] hi :) my ubuntu installer wont start :( i click on the desktop link but it just loads and then nothing comes up [12:12] humans or bot [12:13] humans or bots [12:13] i check the md5sum of the the cd but its correct [12:13] every other tool of the livecd works but not the installer [12:13] mino, you need to be root to install [12:14] I'm root [12:14] wtf? live CD you click on the installer, live CD user has no pw so sudo runs it as root without asking for pw [12:15] sorry.. is there some other livecd other than the ones I've been using the last three years? [12:15] :) [12:15] i check it by cmd and by desktop twice as root or sudoer [12:15] but it just loads and stops working [12:16] on the cmd no output i given, it just terminates [12:16] .......HOla............... [12:16] mino you are boot to the cd right? [12:16] mino: got enough ram? [12:16] 2 GB zcat[1] [12:16] ahh.. that should be enough :) [12:16] jtravnick: yes i boot the live cd [12:17] everything is okay, i can start firefox, configure the network and so on [12:17] but the installer just fails :) [12:17] Oops. [12:17] Well wine definately works well. [12:17] It just ran a really obscure shooter title. [12:17] deusprogrammer: what, you got it to run a windows virus? [12:17] i forget is there a way to check the cd when you boot? === anonymous_ is now known as druqks [12:18] But it also wouldn't let me control it for some reason. [12:18] And I had to logout to kill it. [12:18] jtravnick, hmm, don't think ubuntu has that [12:18] zcat[1], is a command like maybe draklive-install? [12:18] strace of the installer gives many "No such file or directory errors" but i think a python error if the installer should give some output to stderr or I'm wrong? [12:18] Unless there is another key combo to kill it. [12:18] un0p, k couldnt remember if it did or not [12:18] I will have to try installing WOW. That would be fun. [12:19] jtravnick, how you could check the CD is make an ISO from the CD's contents and compare the checksum of it against the original ISO [12:19] deusprogrammer: alt-F2, xkill, click the window you want killed .. usually works. [12:19] hi, I acidently deleted content of folders /etc/network and etc/networkmanager how to reinstall, as kubuntu now does not detect wireless card [12:19] ouch! [12:19] <_Zombie_> deusprogrammer - long ago when i was playing around with wow in windows, i got it to work correctly only with cedega - wine had some minor problems. but thats long ago, maybe they are fixed now [12:19] <_Zombie_> wow in linux [12:20] * deusprogrammer rolls a 1 on Linux knowledge === Usoda is now known as animone [12:20] un0p, mine worked was trying to figure out what was up with nimos [12:20] I having a bit of trouble with open office...It starts up EXTREMELY slow hogs up the cpu, Im running gutsy fully updated here is a copy of strace ooffice http://paste.ubuntu.com/6661/ can someone help me out??

[12:20] _Zombie_: I got it running in wine, don't recall needing to do anything unusual.. it was originally installed in windows though, I haven't 'installed' it in wine [12:21] <_Zombie_> i also remember that its better to install it on a linux partition [12:21] <_Zombie_> but that was long ago also [12:21] I have an awesome Ubuntu background for anyone like likes anime. [12:21] iliya_, perhaps this works.. sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager knetworkmanager [12:22] salut [12:22] salut [12:22] Tre bien un haiduke. [12:22] qui peut m'aider avec apache ?

Everything still fails due to unmet dependacies [15:43] i want to set dns and i am really tired to do it. still i cant figured it out how to do it [15:44] DJones, that factoid is useful when apt actually crashes. in this case, it simply seems to be a matter of unmet dependencies [15:44] how to create root disk?? dd if=deliroot.img of=/dev/sdc ??? [15:44] hi, i'm wondering whether many things are going to change with 8.04 before April 24? [15:44] Zarin: tried also « sudo dpkg --configure -a » ?

[15:47] legend2440 - wait... cdrom.bd cdrom.bdr are false [15:48] x0x: well, the proper way to do it would be to set it in the GNOME preferences for network. but, i don't use GNOME, and i've also encountered problems with network-manager and resolvconf, so i've removed both, and i set my DNS directly in /etc/resolv.conf (note that if you're using DHCP, that too will change your DNS servers automatically) [15:48] hi ppl is there any wireless presenter software available for nokia phone in linux base can some one help me advance thanks [15:48] KemrinH: yes they should say false [15:48] x0x: but i can't really say that's the recommended way to set DNS :) [15:48] legend2440 - cdrom.cdr = true cdrom.cdwr =true cdrom.dvd=true etc [15:48] kem ok thats normal [15:49] and [15:49] Zarin: ouch, ouch... pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list, and join #kubuntu-kde4 [15:49] im need mandrek [15:49] LjL, it looks like the dependency error was from me also installing kde4games, which was a dud. The problem is I cannot run apt-get the remove the package until I fix the dependency errors. [15:49] Hey how can i run Microsoft office, etc in Wine? (if i'm on linux) i have to install it on a windows and then go to the mounted disk and open it with wine? [15:50] LjL i didnt mean name server. i mean domain name server. [15:50] Zarin: a package that is half-installed cannot be removed (unless you use very many force options, but you should try to avoid that if possible) [15:50] freeboat, have you tried installing via wine? [15:50] it should install and run [15:50] x0x: i think i don't know the difference between the two [15:50] freeboat, if not, there's cross-over office [15:50] yo [15:51] whats that HinHin [15:51] (but that's a commerical product) [15:51] KemrinH: did you try google ubuntu gutsy dell cdrom for possible answers?

Since linux wants ext type normally that. eg: sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc would make the floppy formatted to ext2 in this case [15:53] kelvin911-> make a floppy? try man dd [15:53] nothing work [15:53] !ask | Bjbbop [15:53] Bjbbop: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[17:18] dexter, you can't.

[17:18] !root [17:19] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:19] haha [17:19] Jupp, not true. sudo su - will get you root.

[17:56] Danish989, i recommend you get gutsy, wait til hardy becomes solid, then upgrade to hardy [17:56] is it okay without swap? [17:56] rullie : but more people suggest I wait and then just install HArdy [17:56] how long does a new distro take to get stable? how many weeks/months? [17:56] Danish989, you can install hardy beta now.. === _Lucretia__ is now known as _Lucretia_ [17:56] later auto update it to make it as release.. [17:57] but I'm going to be new at linux and I don't want to try beta software [17:57] please help i have no idea what is causing this [17:57] Swish, a new distro? probably a year [17:57] OpenGuru: there's nothing about disabling Compiz and falling back to Metacity in the howto. I can't find a way to disable it on CompizConfig Settings Manager either.

[17:58] how large is the Ubuntu installation??? and why is it using up 3.7 gigs of my flash drive?????? [17:58] ah, then allow me to rephrase.. how long before a new version for a distro becomes stable! :) [17:58] makinen, well i have this compiz-fusion system tray installed. that has that option.. i think i compiled it from sources.. [17:58] Swish, probably 2 -3 months [17:58] Hardy has been in beta for some time now, so i guess it should be stable when it releases in 15 days? [17:58] Danish989, you're kidding right? ;) [17:59] lol .. I'm still a noob at linux so I just took a guess [17:59] Danish989, most software go through beta, are you suggesting most software's stable and bugless? :) [17:59] no major release of anything is stable at release time. it's highly unlikely :) [17:59] dont run your nuclear power plant with unbutu [17:59] Swish, stable what ? apps or kernel ? [17:59] Danish989, generaly , once the "official" is released it is stable enough, specialy since we are talking about an LTS [17:59] OpenGuru, anything really [17:59] okie so I guess I should just install Gutsy Gibbons and wait even after hardy heron releases for it to get stable? [18:00] Many new bugs the team/engineers didn't forsee because users think of wildly new uses for the product which uncover bugs [18:00] OpenGuru, stable as in thngs don'T shut down when you try to save your work [18:00] Danish989, it's really up to you, if you're cutting edge, go get beta, if you want stable, gutsy first [18:00] and then after hardy heron has been out for a while, upgrade from gutsy to hardY? [18:00] how large is the Ubuntu installation??? and why is it using up 3.7 gigs of my flash drive?????? [18:00] Danish989, for desktop it should be ok.. [18:00] coach_z, ubuntu comes with a truck load of **** [18:00] Danish989, i have been trying beta since many days.. and its good [18:01] so open guru, you suggest that I install hardy heron beta and when it releases I upgrade to that? [18:01] rullie: how can i clean it all up then? [18:01] well rullie, sounds like good advice. 3 months it is [18:01] Danish989, no need to upgrade.. auto updates will do it for you!

I don't think you can/should. gnome pulls all kinds of things in as its dependencies [18:02] how translate fuck intro russian? [18:02] coach_z, if you want a minimal distro, you shouldn't be even looking at ubuntu [18:02] use google translator @ time [18:02] tim* [18:02] * Swish reprograms ubotu to not repeat itself when poked with multiple !-prods [18:02] Danish989, good one.. [18:02] Swish: It usually doesnt. [18:02] Swish, it usualy doesn'T , there's a timer on it [18:03] Swish: it has that feature. it just doesn't work when different cases are used in letters. [18:03] ah! [18:03] http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download <-- Why does it default to 64 bit? [18:03] the question is why do you not default to 64bit [18:03] HumbertHumbert: doesn't for me... maybe it depends on one's useragent [18:03] rwycuff: quite a few reasons i'd say === steven is now known as Mr_Magic [18:04] how do i specify 'anywhere' in iptables ? [18:04] hi i restart and it works !! [18:04] !iptables | dryrot, don't know off hand, but [18:04] dryrot, don't know off hand, but: 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). [18:04] LjL: I have a Celeron M, so that's strange... plus User-agent doesn't contain that info.

[18:07] openguru, when I upgrade from hardy heron beta to the official release, will I have to re-install all software and re-configure settings to my liking? [18:07] Danish989: i sure do hope not [18:07] hey, if I install one of the latest hardy rc, is there a clean upgrade path to the final version when it's released? [18:07] Danish989: shouldn't have to... but you should ask in #ubuntu+1 [18:07] kibab, idem [18:08] how do I install a .ymp file? [18:08] I hope not too, so i'm just trying to figure out whether it'll be easier for me to make the jump to linux without having to worry about upgrading to the release after just a week of using hardy heron beta [18:08] When I go to select a wireless network in gutsy it doesn't show the little spiral animation to obtain an ip. Instead, it doesn't get an IP at all and jumps straight to the signal meter graphic. I have the same problem no matter which wifi card I try. ideas? [18:08] kibab: Danish989: I think hardy discussion is in #ubuntu+1 and I think all update to final will be handle by update manager [18:08] if x is not started, will kde use up alot of resources? [18:09] komputes: k. thanks! [18:09] grr3: other than disk space, no [18:09] PiousMinion: what does iwscan wlan0 say? [18:09] grr3: you can start kde without X? [18:09] you need X before you start any desktop managers [18:10] kde runs on top of X [18:10] how do I install kde from commandline without it causing my computer to boot into X? [18:10] Aha! I made it :) Who can answer a question about dual monitor setup using an nvidia card and ubuntu [18:10] grr3; sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [18:10] LjL: since that DONT work on LIVE cd, any other suggestions? i need to be able to use konqueror to access the folder since i cant CD into it in console [18:10] MadProcessor: command not found. Did you mean "iwlist wlan0 scan"? That presents me with aps. [18:11] PiousMinion: yes, sorry [18:11] can I move /home to a another partition? [18:11] MadProcessor: connecting manually via commandline works just fine. It's the gnome thingy that refuses to request an ip. [18:12] PiousMinion: Okay, so everything is installed and working the only problem is the Gnome applet basically? [18:12] should i move /home and /var to other partition? [18:12] MadProcessor: yeah [18:12] kelvin911: I think you can, but I'd like instructions for that too, i think you move the home dir and then you make changes to a config file [18:12] kelvin911: like fstab or something [18:12] how to make changes? [18:13] PiousMinion: Hmm, okay, I have never seen that unfortunately.. [18:13] if i have installed a kernel patch (kernel-patch-speakup), and am unable to load the module, what should i do? [18:13] ubuntu: not sure why it wouldn't work on the live cd... must say i haven't used the cd in a long while [18:13] do i need to recompile the kernel? [18:13] kelvin911: yes, how do you make a change from one home dir to another home dir on another partition, seemlesly [18:13] MadProcessor: thanks anyway. :/ [18:13] Anyone able to answer dual monitor question? [18:14] !ask | Nukebie [18:14] Nukebie: 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. :-) [18:14] LjL: 1) i can only access the partition using cli and "sudo" all the time 2) the path has a ä in it that the cli cant "find" [18:14] komputes: i am new to linux idont know what u talk about [18:14] kelvin911: looking it up because i want to know how to do this too [18:14] anyone know why i cant enable the upnp plugin for rhythmbox in hardy? [18:15] gotcha, ok installed latest ubuntu beta and installed nvidia driver, It does not detect my dual monitors, video card is 8800gt, how do i fix that? [18:15] now i have 37 GB called disk in /media, can i rename it there? [18:15] hi, i'm having some problems with xfs on a lvm volume.. it won't mount.. it just hangs. any ideas? [18:15] why is apt-get insisting over and over again that I insert CD ubuntu 7.10 into the drive??? [18:16] grr3: remove the cdrom from your repositories [18:16] grr3; you have the cd listed in your sources.list.. comment out that line in your sources [18:16] how [18:16] ubuntu: but the page has instructions on how to make it accessible to every user... (and for the ä, i don't think it's a CLI problem, more likely a charset problem, i think there's the iocharset= option for that, or perhaps locale=...) [18:17] grr3: synaptic->Manage repositories I think [18:17] grr3: nano /etc/apt/sources.list and remove cdrom repos [18:17] LjL: which everyone expect everyone should know what that is and how do that.. [18:17] grr3; sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list then press i .. then comment out the line with CDROM with an # press esc then type :wq [18:17] grr3: synaptic->Settings->repositories I think [18:18] ubuntu, why are you being so confrontational? i'm trying to help you, withing the limits of my knowledge and of my time. i'm not paid for this. [18:18] #ubuntu-cz [18:18] join #ubuntu-cz [18:18] how can I delete an environment variable?

[18:19] if my video card is overheating wich causes my ubuntu to crash... would it be any helpfull to switch gnome to kde or something else? [18:19] evan_; sounds like you need a fan blowing on your card.. not a different desktop manager [18:20] I keep getting errors trying to install Ubuntu on an IBM 306m which uses an Adaptec aic9406 SAS/SATA card. [18:20] Hi, where does the new xrandr and gnome-display-settings store its settings? [18:20] bastid_raZor, ive got a laptop [18:20] Anyone know anything about ssh agents? [18:20] DSpair, what errors ? [18:20] bastid_raZor, i wish it was that easy! [18:21] I flipped my desktop upside-down which renders the screen black, and now i cant set it back to normal again. [18:21] bradly: i think "export -n variable" to delete [18:21] evan_; if your fan is overheating .. changing desktops is not going to help. you have bigger issues :\ [18:21] simple question: is hardy heron beta advisable to be used by a linux n00b? === samitheb1rber is now known as samitheberber [18:21] bradly, ask specific questions, you are more likely to get an answer [18:21] Pelo: The installer does not see the disks and in the "dmesg" I see "ERROR: Unknown device type 5" [18:21] is there anywhere else i could ask that is more suited for xfs/lvm problems perhaps? [18:21] Danish989, ubuntu's designed for easy entrance [18:21] Danish989, beta is never adviced for n00b's [18:21] Pelo: That when the aic94xx driver loads. [18:21] My ssh agent is dying i think. iHow can I start it back up [18:21] Danish989, yes it is, but bad idea, I'm no noob and I regret the move [18:21] why do you regret the move, pelo? [18:21] evan_; i actually have a fan blowing on the air inlets of my box.. it does help keep it cooler.. then again i don't have a laptop [18:22] what can i use to convert xvid files to an avi file? [18:22] DSpair, live cd ? maybe you should try the alternate install cd , but before you do , try looking up the error msg in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [18:22] Danish989: Likely the same reason I do... Last night I had 188 updates and 500+MB of downloads. [18:22] Pelo: I've tried the live CD, alternate install CD, and the server install CD. [18:23] Anyone any idea why Avidemux is playing AVI-video very choppy? [18:23] Danish989, realy not stable enough yet, FF3 is quirky, wine also ( but that might just be wine) , no vwmare package yet, honestly it's not worth the upgrade at this point, wait for the stable [18:23] bastid_raZor, can i have controll of the fan speed? [18:23] i've got the source code in /usr/src/kernel-patches, but how do i make the kernel modules loadable? [18:23] Danish989: Just wait a month or two. Untill then use gutsy :) [18:23] evan_: a "fancontrol" script is provided in the "lm-sensors" package, you can see how that works [18:23] DSpair, try looking it up in the forum then, I have no idea, it',s over my head [18:23] evan_; LjL thanks.. i knew it was possible.. just didn't know how [18:23] all right, so I'll just install gutsy gibbons and then after heron is out of beta, upgrade to that [18:24] would the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/status from the live cd's casper/filesystem.squashfs be an accurate representation of what's installed by default?

[18:26] hi [18:26] how come i cant remove any files on a RW file system (according to mount, but rm says read-nly?= === julien__ is now known as nyvhax [18:26] can someone help me please ? [18:26] ubuntu, permissions ? [18:26] nyvhax, ask a question about your problem [18:26] ty Pelo [18:26] Ljl i get alot of egreps: /etc/fancontrol: file missings and a warning that some mandatory settings are missing [18:26] sorry for my english, i'm french [18:27] today i download ubuntu 7.10 because windows sucks [18:27] nyvhax, il y a un canal en francais #ubuntu-fr [18:27] merci (: [18:27] evan_, uh, so the file /etc/fancontrol doesn't exist? [18:27] . /dev/hda1 on /media/windows type ntfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000) [18:27] bye [18:27] thanks [18:27] nyvhax, you can ask in here anyway, you don'T have to go [18:27] LjL, no it isnt [18:28] ubuntu: well uhm that to me looks like it should be accessible by all users [18:28] evan_: are you on hardy? [18:28] LjL: and sudo mount says its RW, but i cant delete a file [18:29] Ljl yes [18:29] ubuntu, try it with the command like sudo rm /path/filename [18:29] ubuntu: uhm perhaps it's simply not mounted with the read/write driver (NTFS-3g)? you'd need that for any write support on NTFS at all [18:29] !ntfs-3g [18:29] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [18:29] Pelo: : did, says: rm: cannot remove `khfFXooo.dll': Read-only file system [18:29] Ljl oeps wrong channle [18:30] LjL: im on the live cd.. [18:30] ubuntu, very odd [18:30] evan_: yes, wrong channel :) but it seems they've removed it in hardy (it was a slightly dangerous script, to tell the truth) [18:30] hi, i was just gonna play 'round with compiz. problem is the following i tried to activate "customized desktop effects" but then my linux told me "desktop effects could not be enabled" [18:30] btw: i'm running a macbook [18:30] unicum, might jsut be a question of adding opengl , try asking in #compiz they will know better [18:31] I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 in a RAID 0 setup, it does not let me choose the partition or interact with the partitions on the RAID [18:31] later folks [18:31] ANy ideas? Or do you know if 8.04 will allow me do that? [18:32] Does anyone know how to do a 'ps' command which will show which group a command is running as? [18:32] evan_: well, you can always download the gutsy package (not install it - just download it and unpack it), and look at how the script does the fan controlling [18:32] how to search ubuntus apt-* to find that "driver"? [18:33] LjL, ok but first ill ask for a replacement in the ubuntu+1 channel [18:33] earlier today, my filesystem got corrupt, spontaneously. I was listening to music, then noticed that no new programs were launching, rebooted, and got "target filesystem doesn't have init" anybody knows why that happened? [18:33] How do I start ssh-agent? [18:34] Kalamarencu, did you install the RAID thing before installing? [18:34] Ok trying to connect to my ubuntu from a windows PC wants a username and password. It's not accepting the ones I added. Is it typically so hard to get a samba share up on a network? [18:34] anyone have a list of hosts that offer ubuntu on their dedicated servers off the top of their heads? === andi_ is now known as elTigre [18:34] i had to install something and manually partition when i set up my raid [18:35] Jeruvy: use smbpasswd to add samba users [18:35] nucco: done. NOT working. [18:35] Trying to connect to domain via windows not working. [18:36] Jeruvy: restart samba services [18:36] Jeruvy: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [18:36] ist [18:36] nucco: did that after adding, doesn't work still [18:36] ola [18:36] Is anyone aware of the policies on how long an obsolete package is kept in the repositories after being updated? [18:36] hi [18:36] nucco: I rebooted the whole server too, still not working [18:36] Jeruvy: usually works for me, try connecting from ubuntu to windows [18:37] nucco: cannot find any shares outside of local [18:37] mheath_rmt: Packages are not updated after a version release unless there are security patches or if an update makes it way into backports. [18:37] insane_alien, which RAID thing? It is configured from BIOS and I have Windows running on it [18:37] i honestly can't remember, it was probably because i was doing a software RAID [18:37] Jeruvy: perhaps if you let it be on the network a little while it starts discovering them. I don't know, but samba kinda is a little unpredictable for me [18:38] i haven't touched the RAID in months [18:38] nucco: a 'little'? :) [18:38] i think it as called dmadm or something [18:38] Jeruvy: I suppose you've got a GUI on the server? [18:38] LjL: even your guide that says its RW, makes it RO.... [18:38] Pici: Thats not what I was asking [18:38] mheath_rmt: What were you asking then? [18:38] insane_alien, It has the Nvidia 4 RAID controller. I have two SATA 200GB configured as Stripping RAID 0 [18:38] nucco: yes 7.10 alt build [18:38] !RAID [18:38] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [18:38] Jeruvy: yeah, like a few minutes :) I can't really define "little" [18:39] mheath_rmt: oh. I re-read, sorry, I'm not sure. [18:39] thanks! [18:39] nucco: howto followed from howtoforge.com. Seems to need some improvement. [18:39] anyone know why my filesystem would spontaneously bork itself? [18:40] Jeruvy: direct link if you please :) [18:40] ok, i've installed module-assistant, but the speakup module does not appear when i run m-a [18:40] Kalamarencu: also check out the gentoo-wiki...imo one of the best support channels for linux [18:40] Sounds like a fried HD [18:40] after i edit the partition , do i need to update the fstab manually? [18:40] thanks p33 [18:40] can I resize a partition on a hard disk thats formatted with the NTFS file system and install ubuntu on that? (will ubuntu change the file system for it's partition itself?) [18:41] Danish989: yes, but you will have the choice of filesystem on ubuntu [18:41] what filesystem should I chose? ext2? [18:41] Danish989: ext3 or reiserfs [18:41] Danish989: anything but ext2 :) [18:42] what's wrong with ext2? [18:42] Danish989: remember to create a "swap" partition, size roughly 2x your RAM [18:42] nothing [18:42] nucco: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-gutsy-samba-domaincontroller [18:42] Danish989, although ext2 is a stable file system, it's been replaced with ext3 which has a lot more features [18:42] what's a swap partition? [18:42] Danish989: remember those windows 98 days with "scandisk?" [18:42] yes, I actually do [18:42] nucco, don't you think you're overstating? i mean, i ain't gonna create 6gb of swap here [18:43] hischild: that's why I said roughly. you won't say your system is an Average system would you? [18:43] nucco, actually, i would [18:43] 2x your ram up to 2 gig then equal to your ram above that is what I thought the suggested size was [18:43] Danish989: ext2 and ext3 can be easily converted back and forth to each other. ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2 as well [18:43] Danish989: ext2 would act like that on a power cut, or improper shutdown [18:43] should I google 'swap partiton ubuntu' and read up on that? [18:43] nucco: I don't think any amount of waiting will help, I cannot login to the server [18:43] a question aside.. will the wlan problems with macbooks (sanda rosa) be gone with ubuntu 8.04? i mean.. not even madwifi works correctly right now [18:43] hischild: well, my 1G of ram feels very high-end to me :) [18:44] Jack_Sparrow, sounds about right (though even that is a lot and to much for me) [18:44] can ubuntu installed in logical partition? [18:44] nucco, at school we all have 2gb+ [18:44] or it has to be primary? [18:44] kelvin911, it can [18:44] whats the different between primary and logical? [18:45] Hey folks, sorry to bother but I was trying to install flash plug in and ran into problems like what was outlined in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 Anyone have suggestions? [18:45] personally, If my system has 2G of ram, I will only make 512MB of swap. cos I won't need it. [18:45] yep nucco I barely touch 400 meg of usage on Ubutnu [18:45] kelvin911, logical is like a container. [18:45] nucco, i don't have any swap, even with my 2gb main box at home =) [18:45] Jeruvy: lemme try and see what that howto says. [18:45] hischild: :) [18:46] kelvin911, logicals go in an extended partition as a way around the 4 primary partition limit [18:46] unlike POS Vista which uses all the ram and then grinds the page file [18:46] what is a swap partition? [18:46] I don't even have a swap partition [18:46] nucco, i hardly ever even touch the 300 meg here === sparr__ is now known as sparr [18:46] Danish989, it's like an extention to your normal RAM [18:46] hello [18:47] i have a 12GB swap partition :P [18:47] where can I find the newest kde4 for gutsy? [18:47] an extension? please ellaborate [18:47] Danish989: its for ram, no a partition [18:47] Jeruvy: did you get the samba issue sorted? [18:47] freaky thing is i've had it 90% full [18:47] p33: no, I'm about to nuke the box :) [18:47] Jeruvy: that howto looks kinda freaky [18:47] Danish989, if your real memory is full, the swap is used to extend your normal memory so it doesn't run out of it [18:48] insane_alien, you're sure that it wasn't filled with stuff like cache? [18:48] p33: I thought it was #$%$#% up big time :) but I need user authentication [18:48] i'm damn sure [18:48] I have 1gb ram .. what do you suggest I do? [18:48] Jeruvy: err, the howto looks neat to me. (never done domain controllers) :p [18:48] Danish989: make 1G of swap [18:48] Danish989, what size is your hard disk? [18:48] i was running some RAM intensive programs [18:48] insane_alien, i'm impressed [18:49] anyone knows how to merge two pdf files into one, thanks [18:49] they took about 4 days to go through the data [18:49] I haven't resized the hard disk to install ubuntu on it yet, but the hard disk size is 60 giga [18:49] nucco: I can get another linux to see the samba share, but windows will not. [18:49] Danish989: assuming you are just a typical person like me :) [18:49] thats on top of 8GB of RAM [18:49] nor will linux see the windows shares [18:49] Danish989, then 1gb swap will be more then enough [18:49] I meant 80 giga, sorry [18:49] Jeruvy: you're sure they are in the same workgroup? or that doesn't apply for "domains"? [18:49] to add my windows to the DC, it wants a login, doesn't work, [18:50] after i change the partition [18:50] do i need to update fstab? [18:50] Jeruvy: try adding a user that doesn't have a local login on the ubuntu server via smbpasswd [18:50] Jeruvy: then use that account when windows prompts for login. [18:50] how do I create a swap partition? [18:51] nucco: I did that, I have a 'share user' already setup for this [18:51] nucco: windows requires it, but the user accounts must be local, so with a PDC, I would expect to 'just login' but it doesn't allow it to connect [18:52] Hi all. I have a Windows XP-Ubuntu dual boot system set up. Windows is on a NTFS partition, Ubuntu on a ext3 partition, and I have a third FAT32 partition for sharing files between the two. Files written to the FAT32 partition in Windows show up in Linux, but files written there in Linux do not show up in Windows. Any ideas? [18:52] Salut [18:53] I'm thinking samba is just crapware... [18:53] * nucco rolls eyes [18:53] Jeruvy: I don't think I have anymore to offer on that issue, sorry [18:53] My mice's scroll wheel can go to the left or right...is there software for linux to allow this functionality? [18:53] mdd4696, first off, you can write files on ntfs just fine. Second, did you close linux normally? [18:54] Greetings. I have XFCE running under Ubuntu 7.4. My screensaver preferences list lots of screensavers that aren't installed. How do I install them? I've not been able to find them by name in the Synaptic Package Manager. [18:54] nucco: you're obviously not the only one ;) thanks anyways === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [18:55] Barr1, tried searching for screensaver? [18:55] hischild: I restarted to go back to Windows. I believe everything was normal. (The documentation said that the NTFS driver didn't work perfectly so I decided just to avoid any potential problems... maybe I'll try it now :) ) [18:55] mdd4696, what version are you running? [18:55] hischild: Hmm. That would make sense. [18:55] Jeruvy: if you nuke the machine, what would you do afterwards? [18:55] hischild: 7.10, that's the most recent release right? [18:55] can someone teach me how to update fstab? [18:55] !vmware [18:55] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [18:55] mdd4696, yes that is. [18:55] !find xscreensaver | mdd4696 [18:56] mdd4696: Found: xscreensaver, xscreensaver-data, xscreensaver-gl, xscreensaver-data-extra, xscreensaver-gl-extra [18:56] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62665/--> what does this error mean [18:56] mdd4696, from my experience it is safe to write to ntfs partitions. [18:56] how can I fix it? [18:56] harushimo, page doesn't exist [18:56] Jeruvy: funny, i use samba and have no problems. [18:57] it should I'm looking at right now [18:57] Does anyone know why Evolution is so slow in downloading mail? (In fact performance is generally not good). [18:57] hischild: remove the dashes... it's an OS error about a camera [18:57] Gnea: do you use 'user authentication'? [18:57] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62666/ [18:57] Jeruvy: yes. [18:57] mdd4696, thanks [18:58] i think there's a mistake in the en_CA.utf8 locale data that's shipped with ubuntu (gutsy). the date format is wrong. how do i file a bug report for this? the file /usr/lib/locale/en_CA.utf8 isn't found in any package. [18:58] Gnea: so I followed the 'howto' everything went according to plan, windows cannot login? [18:58] mydoghasworms: perhaps your network connectivity is to blame? [18:58] how do I fix that [18:58] hischild: Should I look at xscreensaver, or was that unrelated? [18:58] mydoghasworms: i've seen evolution scale rather poorly with large amounts of data... the more mail it has, the more file descriptor requests it makes with simple tasks... tried thunderbird? [18:58] mdd4696: I think the screensaver stuff was supposed to be aimed at me. [18:58] nucco: It was working fine under that other (unmentionable) OS. [18:59] Jeruvy: what howto? [18:59] Gnea: I haven't. Perhaps I should. [18:59] mydoghasworms: err, evolution isn't ported to windows, is it? [18:59] Gnea: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-gutsy-samba-domaincontroller [18:59] Barr1, yes that's meant at you ( mdd4696 ) === bluefoxx is now known as bluefoxx|showeri [18:59] mdd4696, not for you ... [18:59] Jeruvy: are you familiar with windows server 2000/2003? [18:59] mydoghasworms: anyways, you got sylpheed and thunderbird to choose from [18:59] nucco: Well, there is a Win binary for it, but I just meant downloading mails on Outlook Express. [18:59] Gnea: yes [19:00] Will give the T-bird a try. [19:00] Gnea: not that I have such a box...atm. [19:00] mydoghasworms: I have 1G of email, and evolution is still works fast to me [19:00] Jeruvy: are you trying to get users to login to a domain or access shares via the workgroup? [19:01] anyone [19:01] !anyone [19:01] 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? [19:01] hello i just install thunar fille manager. but everytime i reboot i start again with gnome... anyone know to fix this? [19:01] nucco: Granted, I don't have the fastest machine; 2.4GHz P4 + 512 MB memory. [19:01] Gnea: the windows network uses file sharing over workgroup. In order to get user authentication (reading the SAMBA HOWTO on samba.org) indicated I need to go through setting up a PDC. I've never built a PDC on linux before [19:01] harushimo: It's a pretty vague error, you should probably provide more details. [19:02] mmd4696: that is exact error I just got [19:02] sorry I can't type today [19:02] mydoghasworms: you can try thunderbird if you like, mine is a core2duo, 1G RAM, I don't know how significant the diff is btw the two [19:02] Jeruvy: but you are familiar with the differences between a workgroup master and active directory [19:02] mdd4696: I just got it 5 mins ago [19:02] harushimo: What are you trying to do? Just cd into the camera or what? [19:02] Gnea: I'm not using AD [19:02] mdd4696: I'm trying to import photos from my camera [19:02] Jeruvy: but you've used it before, correct? [19:03] Gnea: yes [19:03] Gnea: are you saying I have to use AD? [19:03] mdd4696: its not working [19:03] hi gparted didnt update fstab how to do that?? http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotjq0.png [19:03] how can I doanload this audio streaming with a slow internet connection : http://www.tv-radio.com/ondemand/france_inter/MX/MX20080329.ram ? [19:03] harushimo: What do you mean by import? Copy the files off of it, or using a program? [19:03] Jeruvy: the same logic applies - the samba server can either be a Domain Controller (thus inferencing AD) or it can be a Domain Master (the head of a workgroup) [19:03] Thanks, I'm going to try Thunderbird for a while to see if there is a difference. BTW, is there a way to import mails from Evolution to Thunderbird? (I didn't see the option under Thunderbird's import) [19:04] mdd4696: just transfer the photos from the camera to the hard drive [19:04] mdd4696: using my usb cable [19:04] harushimo: Can you ls the files on the camera? [19:04] harushumo: Or are you using the gui? [19:05] mdd4696: I was gonna use the gui if there is a way through the command line [19:05] Gnea: workgroups and domains are distinctly different in windows, but following that HOWTO I'm not sure the distinction is so clear. [19:05] mdd4696: I would love to hear it [19:05] hello if i download the beta 8.04, what is the method to upgrade to the real version when it gets released? do i have to reinstall or is there something else? [19:05] isn't it possible to easily share folders without installing samba? (between two ubuntu boxes) [19:05] With Compiz...what is the standard setting for "Initiate Window Move" ...the button-value...I think I screwd it up... [19:05] Jeruvy: if you want it to be an AD, then setting things up like kerberos and whatnot need to take place - it sounds to me like you just want to be able to go to network places, map a network drive or something, and be presented to input authentication credentials in order to access the files on the share. that's not something that you need a domain controller for. [19:06] Jeruvy: what program are you using to configure samba with? [19:06] Gnea; precisely [19:06] mdd4696: if you can put the steps in the pastebin..I'll check it out [19:06] !nfs | kane77 [19:06] kane77: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [19:06] gnea: I just need a series of user accounts for logging in [19:06] harushumo: If you know what the device location is, you can just go to the location on the command line using the 'cd' command. 'cp' copies files. 'man cp' for documentation... I can't help with the error though, sorry. [19:06] kane77: nfs isn't "easy" install "gnome-user-share" [19:06] kane77: thats what i use to share files etc between a home network on ubunyu [19:06] Jeruvy: just set it to security = user and add your users with smbpasswd :) [19:07] Gnea: I did [19:07] how much more simpler could nfs be [19:07] Jeruvy: then map the usernames to be able to access the shares [19:07] kane77: on both machines, and there will be a public folder visible on either machines if you look in Places > Network [19:07] Gnea: elaborate on 'map' [19:07] Jeruvy: my question exactly === Dr_TM is now known as eth01 [19:07] Jeruvy: well that depends on the program you're using to configure samba with :) [19:07] Gnea: eh? [19:07] Jeruvy: are you editting smb.conf by hand or using a gui? [19:07] Gnea: a text editor [19:08] Jeruvy: oh god... you need swat. [19:08] !swat | Jeruvy [19:08] Jeruvy: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.

[19:08] Jeruvy: once you start using it, you'll see just how much better it is :) [19:09] Gnea: at this stage it wouldn't be very hard to accomplish that hehe :) [19:09] Jeruvy: swat is a web-based configuration method to samba, it makes setting it up much less painless and streamlined. [19:09] Jeruvy: make sure you have samba-doc installed too [19:10] Jeruvy: but i gotta go, lunch is over. good luck [19:10] ok, I still can't explain why my filesystem got borked spontaneously [19:10] how can I open a file with .tar extension (new to Ubuntu).... [19:11] Hello. I'm trying to mount an smb share from a different part of my school's network than usual. The usual command i use is $mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //server/share /mnt/share. Normally it just mounts the share, but now it's echoing SMB connection failed. I have the ip of the server, is there a way to mount it using the IP? [19:11] i think there's a mistake in the en_CA.utf8 locale data that's shipped with ubuntu (gutsy). the date format is wrong. how do i file a bug report for this? the file /usr/lib/locale/en_CA.utf8 isn't found in any package. [19:11] Gnea: cheers, I'll give it a go [19:11] jdwilm: replace //server/share with //x.x.x.x/share where x.x.x.x is IP [19:12] !bugs | mlalkaka [19:12] mlalkaka: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [19:12] hi, Im having problems with a new mp3 player- when plugged in it is detected and a nautilus window opens up, then the nautilus stops responding and after about 20sec it starts responding again but gives an unsafe removal message even though the player is still plugged in [19:12] hello everyone just downloaded a program off the internet...but need to open it and run it ....how do I do that.....( new to Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon....

[19:18] mdd4696: did you find a way to do it [19:18] genii: well, but given the live CD doesn't download anything by default (i think just the language packs, perhaps...), wouldn't it be basically the same thing? [19:18] mdd4696: I couldn't find one [19:18] Decepticon_, if you install the beta and just stay up to date with the normal updates, you'll have the stable version when it's released.

[20:05] Mr_Bad_News: not in that sense. Which program use the information contained within to decide what to do? [20:06] network-admin i think [20:07] okay; bad question.

I have a MS natural keyboard with a shortcut to the calculator but I don't like the gnome's default one. [20:25] How I can access files with nautilus thru cifs? [20:25] racquad, system -> preferences-> keyboard shortcuts? [20:25] "sudo dhclient eth0" even if my wireless is eth1 ? [20:26] Mr_Bad_News, no, run sudo dhclient [20:26] Mr_Bad_News: no, eth1 in that case :) [20:26] hischild: nope. there is no such config for the calculator there [20:26] or yeah, just sudo dhclient [20:26] Hey all, I need urgent helt with kernel panic freezes in Hardy. A few minutes after logging in, Hardy locks up completely (not even ssh access). I've had syslog and kern.log open, nothing weird in there. Disabled hibernation and screensaver after reading about problems. Works fine as long as I don't log into gnome, or just use cli. [20:26] kyncani: thanks :)) [20:27] TwoD: I'd guess it's graphics driver issues [20:27] TwoD, hardy? [20:27] hischild: on that place, I can only set what's the shortkey for the calculator. But I can't change the default calculator program. [20:27] That's what's everyone keeps saying, but how could it even be remotely related to that when it's been working fine before yesterday [20:28] racquad, iirc you can also set your own shortcuts there. Make one to your preferred shortcut? [20:28] racquad: I don't think GNOME has a notion of "default calculator program" [20:28] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62670/ jonaskoelker [20:28] jonaskoelker, the shortcuts do [20:28] orly?? O_o wadda ya know ;) [20:28] 15 days left till 8.04 ? [20:29] hi [20:29] If I had updated gfx drivers (nvidia) then maybe, but I've done nothing of such. All I saw in the updates I got yesterday was some grub stuff and maybe a kernel update, didn't pay attention that much. But to be sure I've tested with both the top two kernel choises in Grub, no difference. === Johnson is now known as obf213 [20:30] Was about to test with third choise when I noticed cli was working as long as I didn't log into gnome. [20:31] jonaskoelker, well, the shortcuts are integrated into gnome as they do run a lot of stuff. If it's really part of gnome i wouldn't know [20:31] Is there a way I could actually test the gfx drivers, if you really think that's the cause? [20:31] any ideas jonaskoelker [20:31] hey all [20:31] or does anyone know whats going on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62670/ [20:31] LjL, may i pm you? [20:31] hischild: yes [20:32] not really [20:32] Mr_Bad_News: what's 2WIRE.. connected to? Is it switched into your ISP's network? [20:32] yes its the name of my router [20:33] or the essid [20:33] i need to get my wireless up i have to go out of town [20:33] Does anyone know what could be done about kernel panics in Hardy? If it is the gfx drivers, how can I fix it safetly? [20:34] Mr_Bad_News: have you had wireless work before in a similar setup? [20:34] yes jonaskoelker it happend after i upgraded [20:34] it worked fine yesterday [20:34] i sthere something that is getting in the way? [20:34] Mr_Bad_News: which program did you use to upgrade?

Don't remove it [20:37] it says its not installed [20:37] but its in the ps -e output [20:37] Aiton: you probably need the -dev libraries [20:37] Aiton: aptitude install libc6-dev [20:37] http://pastebin.com/m3302b95c [20:37] i installed windows in f: and then kubuntu in c: . now i cant see windows in grub menu when i boot. when i boot it dont shows me display for first 1 min.

[20:46] dooglus, use fluxbox?

[20:47] how can you not like it [20:47] its beautiful [20:47] so GNOME can't do it? [20:47] Mr_Bad_News, e17 was nice [20:47] is anybody using idjc for streaming via icecast2? [20:47] dooglus: it can [20:47] dooglus: use brightside [20:48] dooglus: aptitude install brightside [20:48] but openbox with the right theme is far nicer [20:48] ;) [20:48] how can i add my Google Calendar to Evolution? [20:48] cbx33: ob pwnz0r [20:48] hischild, my card is connectd i can see the light on the router blink about 1 every 3 seconds like its letting it now its there [20:48] Is it peculiar to my install, or are the fonts in Firefox in the Hardy-beta atrocious? [20:48] i just cant get on the internet === miip_ is now known as miip [20:48] jonaskoelker: ok, I was thinking brightside was another suggestion for a replacement to gnome (flux, openbox, e, etc...) [20:49] Mr_Bad_News, right. And what card is your wlan card? [20:49] jonaskoelker, well I have used for an extended period...gnome, kde, openbox, blackbox, e17 and xfce [20:49] cbx33: I'll switch back to XFCE once it's working again [20:49] i have two wlan0 and eth1 [20:49] for keeping things slim, and looking and functioning well [20:49] cbx33: no pr? [20:49] but eth1 is the one i use most [20:49] I'd always choose openbox [20:49] cbx33: no ratpoison? [20:49] cbx33: why? [20:49] /no pr/d [20:50] jonaskoelker, no.....I did use twm for a while [20:50] omgleet [20:50] dooglus, blackbox was a little too light, openbox has a few more features [20:50] cbx33: I tried openbox recently and didn't see anything special about it [20:50] xfce is too heavy [20:50] dooglus: that's what's special about it :) [20:50] jonaskoelker, ++ [20:50] jonaskoelker: ok... [20:51] cbx33: I found a new one I like: lxde. uses openbox and is faster than xfce. [20:51] hi, does anyone know where vpn certificates are usually stored on windows? [20:51] dooglus: it's lightweight, and gives you an uncluttered, naked desktop [20:51] lxde.........hmm [20:51] I'll haveto take a look [20:51] i don't know why im asking this in an ubuntu room but...

[20:52] cbx33: no. lxpannel [20:52] what's lxde? === blackinside is now known as BlackInside [20:52] ahhh [20:52] jonaskoelker: ckeck it out: http://lxde.sourceforge.net/ [20:52] Odd-rationale, have to give that alook too [20:53] jonaskoelker: I installed brightside, but dont see any edge-flipping. there's no man page for it. what now? [20:53] took me a long time to be happy with my desktop on my lappy [20:53] it's a crap machine [20:54] 256Mb RAM [20:54] and onl a 1.7Ghz chip === capi is now known as capiCrimm [20:54] runs like a dog with 2 legs [20:54] cbx33: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:54] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62675/ hischild [20:54] sorry FloodBot1 :p [20:54] everything is lagging now [20:54] Scunizi: What should I tell her if it doesn't work.... [20:54] anyone deal with gnome power manager? [20:55] dooglus: gnome-control-center, I think; there's a brightside config somewhere [20:55] dooglus: or dpkg -L brightside [20:55] lxde seems cool [20:55] hischild, i read something about wpa_supplicant causing conflict issues [20:55] and now its in my ps -e output [20:55] Redian, do you have another drive lying around that you can test in her machine? or a laptop drive that you can remove from your machine and put into hers? that would be a good test if he issue is the drive itself [20:55] Mr_Bad_News, ==>killall nm-applet && screen nm-applet <== to restart nm-applet. Then select your network manually. [20:55] Hi everybody, I need help configuring my xorg. I installed Ubuntu yesterday, and it only allows me to choose 640x480 or 800x600 resolutions. I have an onboard Intel G31 chipset graphic. [20:55] jonaskoelker: I've heard it may be coming into the official repos soon... [20:55] but really, you don't need a DE. You just need ratpoison to switch between screen and firefox ;) [20:56] nm-applet: no process killed [20:56] Odd-rationale: are we going to see lubuntu, then? [20:56] Mr_Bad_News, then just everything after the && [20:56] jonaskoelker: no. pud [20:56] that's a dangerous first step towards lolubuntu [20:56] pud? Is that some kind of acronym? [20:56] johnny@ubuntu:~$ screen nm-applet [20:56] [screen is terminating] [20:57] "your filter "bri" does not match any items" [20:57] jonaskoelker: http://pud-linux.sourceforge.net/index.en.html [20:57] I'm trying to add a line in fstab for my external usb drive and I figured I'd get a uuid by running "sudo blkid" and use that instead of the device name (/dev/sd?) since that might change if I insert a usb-flash-drive.. said and done.. I created a new line in fstab, created a mountpoint and ran "sudo mount -a" and got the error "mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/e092a502-61f4-4b79-bf08-db978ca7a898 does not exist".. and behold.. I checked.. that filename doe [20:57] im in this weird mode where its like all magnified how to i get out? [20:57] Mr_Bad_News, ugh ... well if wpa_suppliant is causing you issues like you suspect, then kill the process and attempt to connect again. [20:57] Scunizi: Oh boy, the only other thing I have in the way of drives...Actually I have this dell I don't use too often. In 10th grade you don't have very much at your disposal XD Maybe I'll try and install it onto my external, and then try booting off the external on her laptop. [20:58] Slart, while we appreciate efforts to put a question all in one line, you have to keep in mind there is a length limit on messages :) yours got cut at "filename doe" [20:58] Redian, that presents a whole new issue with getting the machine to boot from usb.. I don't know how to do that. [20:58] LjL: oh.. filename doe.. ahh.. got it [20:58] jonaskoelker: brightside-properties. seems to work well, thanks. [20:58] nothing hischild [20:58] I checked.. that filename doesn't exist.. blkid lists it and the [20:58] dooglus: np [20:58] Scunizi: I'm pretty sure that's on most boot menus... [20:58] Synaptic package manager get blocked when I go to preferences and I try to confirm [20:58] Mr_Bad_News, to be honest i'm kind of out of resources then :( [20:58] hello [20:59] Scunizi: Operable from the BIOS boot menu I mean [20:59] dammit [20:59] i cant find anything on how to fix it [20:59] Redian, it is but there's also something about "persistance" or maybe that's just for usb memory sticks [20:59] I don't usually use multiple workspaces, but 70% of my screen recently died, and the remaining 30% is getting very cramped! [20:59] [continued]... I checked.. that filename doesn't exist.. blkid lists it and the fstype.. but it isn't listed in /dev/disk/by-uuid... folder.. isn't it supposed to be there? do I have to update something before it shows up there? hints? anything? [20:59] dooglus: 70% of your screen died? [20:59] how's that? [20:59] jonaskoelker: yeah. no idea why. [20:59] just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on Thinkpad T61, but cannot set resolution higher than 1024x768. Has anybody solved this problem? [20:59] i am experiencing an irq assault on my hpdv8000z due to the bcm4319 wifi card [20:59] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62675/ anyone? [21:00] dooglus: how does it look? [21:00] Scunizi: 78%....It should make it, I just hope it corrects her boot problems. [21:00] jonaskoelker: the bottom 70% shows noise - vertical lines [21:00] i cant connect to any wireless networks [21:00] I'm trying to add a line in fstab for my external usb drive and I figured I'd get a uuid by running "sudo blkid" and use that instead of the device name (/dev/sd?) since that might change if I insert a usb-flash-drive.. said and done.. I created a new line in fstab, created a mountpoint and ran "sudo mount -a" and got the error "mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/e092a502-61f4-4b79-bf08-db978ca7a898 does not exist".. and behold..[to be continued...] [21:00] eek [21:00] Slart, i have no idea why the file doesn't exist. however... [21:00] [continued]... I checked.. that filename doesn't exist.. blkid lists it and the fstype.. but it isn't listed in /dev/disk/by-uuid... folder.. isn't it supposed to be there? do I have to update something before it shows up there? hints? anything? [21:00] question regarding evolution: assuming one has successfully added a gmail account (pop) -- where will the messages be found? [21:00] Redian, what'd you have her do? [21:00] jonaskoelker: it looked like this when it was dying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojF-Mq9gqkA - now its more dead [21:00] Slart: the right syntax to use in fstab is not /dev/disk/by-uuid, but rather like this: UUID=c50ae320-b4fd-434e-b81d-3088ae67e6fc / ext3 defaults,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [21:00] Scunizi: I had her manually set up the partitions first, then instal, I gave her a new CD this morning that I burned last night and had perfect integrity according to itself. [21:01] Does anyone have any notion as to why the fonts in Firefox 3/Hardy beta look utterly awful? [21:01] LjL: I did that... that was just the error message [21:01] http://albertomilone.com/wordpress/?p=186 [21:01] i am experiencing an irq assault on my hpdv8000z due to the bcm4319 wifi card ---system locks [21:01] swuboo: for issues with hardy see #ubuntu+1 [21:01] LjL: this is my fstab line... UUID=e092a502-61f4-4b79-bf08-db978ca7a898 /media/disk5 xfs 0 2 [21:01] Redian.. my fingers are crossed.. Here's a link to fix grub.. just in case.. http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [21:01] Odd-Rationale: Thanks, I'll do that. Didn't know the beta had a separate channel. [21:02] swuboo: np [21:02] Slart, well but is the drive connected right now? [21:02] Sorry, may someone help me about synaptic? [21:02] cisti: what is the problem? [21:02] swuboo: they look OK here - better, I'd say [21:02] LjL: yes it is.. blkid lists it.. I can look at it using gparted etc [21:02] im in this weird mode where its like all magnified how to i get out? [21:02] Slart: the by-uuid directory is there? and, do you have other drives listed in there? [21:02] Itaku: are you wearing someone else's glasses? [21:03] LjL: hang on.. I'll do a pastebin with some info [21:03] When I try to change preferences and I push ok synaptic blocked [21:03] doofus123: seriously how do i get out of the mode [21:03] hm? [21:03] how wide is an SD slot? Just shy of an inch? [21:04] do you know how you got into it? I don't think anyone will know what's happened from your description [21:04] oh. wrong nick [21:04] Scunizi: Finished successfully, restarting...*hearts pounding* [21:04] jonaskoelker: According to my ruler 2.4cm [21:04] Redian, the suspense is killing me. [21:04] genii: close enough... then it's probably an SD slot I have in my laptop :) [21:05] itaku - more than likely, you've got a magnifier, such as found in Accessibility utilities [21:05] jonaskoelker: Likely, yes [21:05] (shopping for a twilight hack) [21:05] so how do i turn it off [21:05] Scunizi: It worked, but they don't have xp anymore... [21:06] itaku - no idea, but i'd start by looking under the accessibility launchers and see if you can find the utility there [21:06] Scunizi: If they reinstall it, you think they'll have a problem? [21:06] LjL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62676/ [21:06] so I'm installing ubuntu for the first time... and it locked up at "getting the time from a network time server"... any tips on making sure that doesn't happen when i try it again? [21:06] if it's inconvenient to do so with the magnitification on, then i suggest logging out and logging back in, which should kill it [21:07] Redian, before reinstalling xp try the grub fix.. or maybe someone here will know know how do edit grub and add the right path for windows.. if you have to reinstall you'll definitely have to reinstall grub [21:07] jopp well i've installed 7.10 some minutes ago and i had no such problem... === jakob__ is now known as kobbi [21:07] Scunizi: I think someone definitely gave me a linka bout it. [21:07] Slart, this looks vaguely related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/154834 [21:07] is it possible to install xp after installing ubuntu? === kobbi is now known as jak0b [21:07] i didn't figure it was a common problem... should i disconnect it from the network, maybe? [21:07] Slart: maybe the being xfs is also somehow involved... i'd file a bug [21:07] is anyone familiar with Evolution with POP mail accounts? [21:07] Itaku: There is also a magnifier under compiz settings "System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Settings". Too many magnifiers make it hard to say how you get out of a magnifying mode. [21:08] white_eagle: yes. but then you may want to reinstall grub afterwards [21:08] Redian, I just did .. for Grub.. see above. [21:08] white_eagle: I did. But Odd-rationale is right, you have to reinstall grub afterwards. [21:08] white_eagle, the windows bootloader is agressive and will remove grub so you cant boot linux properly after installing XP you need to reinstall grub then [21:08] Odd-rationale: OK, not that *I* plan to do that, but a friend is asking [21:08] thanks [21:09] Once in reinstalled grub, Windows played nice with it, haven't had any problems since. [21:09] (detecting Linux) (removing GRUB) (all good) (proceeding) [21:09] white_eagle: tell him he wont need to. ;) [21:09] :D [21:09] I am very happy with ubuntu [21:09] white_eagle, lol yes microsoft wont have any other operating system on the same machine :) [21:09] Except that every time Ubuntu updates its kernel, I have to manually reinsert XP into menu.lst [21:10] swuboo: sudo update-grub doesn't do it for you? [21:10] swuboo: then you haven't read menu.lst carefully :-) [21:10] so in hardy, will ff 3 beta 5 be the default browser? [21:10] or ff 2 again? [21:10] Odd-rationale: Dunno. Stefg: Nope, I daresay I haven't. [21:10] swuboo: Put the Windows entry below the line which reads :### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST or it will just keep getting overwritten [21:10] I've been looking around forums and bug lists, and haven't been able to figure out why my wireless keeps going out on Gutsy with the Intel wireless option on a T61p. Symptoms: Network quits; iwconfig then shows eth1 as /not/ being wireless; attempting to restart the connection leads to severe system instability. [21:10] Well damn. That's good to know. [21:10] Well... I don't know about severe instability. [21:10] white_eagle, i dont think a beta software goes into a work system :) [21:10] But it hangs anything it touches. [21:10] LjL: hmm.. well.. sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart seemed to do the trick.. now it's listen in /dev/disk/by-uuid at least [21:11] anyone? [21:11] I just keep a textfile with the appropriate XP entry and just paste it back in every time. [21:11] Hi, I've got an Asus P5LD2SE mainboard and temperatures all read OK, but I can't get Ubuntu to control the sensors. In Windows SpeedFan works, but I have no entried in /proc/acpi/fan or anywhere obvious. ANy suggestions? [21:11] I hate ff 2 [21:11] white_eagle:anyone What [21:11] white_eagle: The present version of the Hardy beta has Firefox 3. [21:11] Unless they *remove* it before launch, which is extremely unlikely, then Hardy will continue to have Firefox 3 Beta 5. [21:11] yeah, swuboo, but will the *final* version have fx 3 [21:12] swuboo, so the final release of hardy will have a beta firefox? great.... [21:12] white_eagle: ff3b5 is in hardy. I don't know if it's the default, but I think so. it's /usr/bin/firefox as I remember [21:12] im in this weird mode where its like all magnified how to i get out? [21:12] spanther2: yeah, thats not too good, but Firefox 2 is just too bloated [21:12] Of course, Firefox 3 has the ugliest font rendering I've ever seen, but there you go. [21:13] white_eagle, yes but stable on a work system its not a good idea to include beta stuff beta should stay at testing [21:13] white_eagle: fx3 isn't any less bloated than fx2 is it? [21:13] swuboo: i'm kind of disappointed that adblock plus addon doesn't work with beta 5 [21:14] dooglus: it renders pages faster [21:14] Boohbah: Mine hasn't stopped working, as far as I can tell. [21:14] Boohbah: maybe. since I upgraded to hardy everything runs so slow it's hard to say [21:14] dooglus: its a general question, I use firefox rarely [21:14] Boohbah, use noscript what helps really good so that no 3rd party site script runs :) so never popups and many other security features hehe [21:15] Noscript is the greatest invention since the printing press. [21:15] spanther2: i do use noscript too :) [21:15] i've visited a virus overloaded crack site once to test noscript and i got no virus alert but before using noscript i had 6 of them xD [21:16] wow IE4 is the worst browser ever invented [21:16] Noscript can, in fact, cure leprosy by the laying on of code. [21:16] noscript removes most ads because they are from another page build in while page loads :) [21:16] Someone may help me solving this problem with synaptic's block...is possible to talk in a private chat? [21:16] Anyone know about wireless on T61p? [21:16] No respenses yet. [21:16] whats wrong with synaptic [21:16] cisti: what do you mean by block? do you have an error message? [21:17] dfeuer, you have t61? [21:17] no messages [21:17] Scunizi: I just hope her windows install didn't fail because of the MBR problems caused by the ubuntu install failures [21:17] Scunizi: Because if she reinstalls windows then grub is removed? [21:17] faskiz, T61p, actually. [21:17] does anyone know how to update my kernel to i686, i386 is just not the right kernel for my macbook [21:17] But it's similar... [21:17] dfeuer, what resolution are you running there? [21:17] hi, how would I do a massive operation to remove all spaces in filenames (and replace them with underscores_) in all files inside a directory (and subdirectories)? [21:18] dfeuer, can you do 1400x900? [21:18] Redian, well.. overwritten yes.. but easy to put back and when you do you should have an entry for windows automatically put in there.. [21:18] cisti: so what is wrong? is it hung up? [21:18] Yeah, around that. What's that have to do with my wireless problem, faskiz? [21:18]  is there a smaller importing-pics gui program than gthumb? [21:18] nice :) FF3 doesnt have this "bookmarks toolbar" bar so more space now for pages :D i hate it at ff2 that i couldnt remove this toolbar :/ it was a waste of space because i never needed it [21:18] Redian.. if you want to mess with editing grub I can pastebin mine so you can see how windows is listed.. might just be the same with a couple of tweeks. [21:18] vs parler francais [21:19] dfeuer, none I was just asking here about t61 and 1400 resolution saw that you had t61...

[21:19] dfeuer, check out madwifi.org [21:20] dfeuer, did you install anything special to be able to do 1400x900? I can only get up to 1280 :( [21:20] I have to kill it [21:20] Scunizi: It should be the same as mine. [21:20] binarical-app, I don't have an Atheros chipset. I have an Intel chipset. [21:20] faskiz, I use the Nvidia proprietary driver. [21:20] Redian, yep.. if you're dual booting.. /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:21] dfeuer, strange... [21:21] cisti: so whenever you try to install something with synaptic, it locks up and you have to kill it? [21:21] dfeuer, mine does not work... [21:21] Do you have T61 or T61p? [21:21] spanther2: you can remove the bookmarks toolbar in ff2 [21:21] t61 [21:22] no...it worksm, but I can' edit preferencies [21:22] Ah, well that has a different monitor, faskiz. [21:22] oh?

[21:23] faskiz, go to system-> preferences->screen resolution [21:23] Mr_Bad_News: what kind of card is it? [21:23] i accidentally removed my kde login screen, how do i change back to ubuntus? [21:23] Boohbah, it's that easy and i ever searched under edit > preferences xD [21:23] updated from 7.10 to latest beta but it kept the same kernel?

[21:24] broadcom Boohbah [21:24] the card is fine [21:24] dfeuer, thanks [21:24] its got all the drivers [21:24] Sometimes I wish I'd gone with the cheap graphics that's better supported, but whatever. [21:24] the problem is i cant connect to any wireless networks [21:24] Mr_Bad_News: so, can you assoiciate it with an access point in iwconfig? [21:24] yes Boohbah [21:24] i can see the networks [21:24] Any of the new people know about wireless on T61p? [21:25] i think im connected [21:25] are you using WEP or WPA encryption? [21:25] but i think there is some loopback or something [21:25] cisti: you'd have better luck here in the main channel. I cannot really understand what is happening. When you try to edit pref, it locks up [21:25] ubufox 0.4~beta1 <-- its an extension in firefox what is it for? :) [21:25] ? [21:25] I'm having some kind of driver problem, I think.

I receive the following message: martian source, ll.. what's wrong? [21:27] i cant get anything out [21:27] Yes, I think the program can't manage some config file... do you know what config files it refers?

[21:35] whats the application for the login screen called? [21:35] is it just gdm? [21:35] Cain_: gdm ?

[21:37] but on wireless i cant get anything incomming or outgoing [21:37] Is there someone ho know well synaptic (really in deep) I need to set its preferences but it "freeze" when I push OK... where I can find some logs and the .conf files of this application? Someone knows where I have to look for, to find some help? [21:37] Cain_, but without being inside of your desktop do it inside a shell means kill the kdm/gdm process :) [21:37] its like there is something in between my wireless router and my computer [21:37] there isnt any key on [21:38] cisti: synapitc is a ui that is actually a program that you can run from a terminal [21:38] my computers ip is 192.168.0.81 and my routers is 192.168.0.1 [21:38] cisti: if you open a terminal you can enter: sudo apttitude "your package name here" [21:38] my card just wont connect [21:39] hello. I'm new to linux and I'm stuck at getting my internet working. I have on-board nic and it's not recognized by ubuntu installer. what do I need to do, compile kernel or something? [21:39] cisti: if you want to be able to do this more often or you just dont like aptitude the try: sudo apt-get install "your package name here" [21:39] hey there [21:39] Odd-rationale: yeah it does scroll the screen when i go to the edge [21:39] brand0n, what make of card it is?

I use apt-get... but I need to solve this problem in "synaptic" [21:40] i installed dapper [21:40] Mr_bad_news, no MAC filtering or anything? [21:40] questions are quick it's the answer that take the time, asinine :) [21:40] anyoone ? [21:40] Itaku: maybe your resolution is too big for your monitor? [21:40] no Mozze [21:40] it was working fine until i upgarded to gutsy [21:41] raetsel99 Realtek. it's on Abit IP35 motherboard [21:41] cisti: there are many reasons why a ui may crash [21:41] and i noticed that the bug with xorg wasn't there anymore [21:41] Is there a way to load a flash object starting with the video promoted x number of frames? [21:41] but if i install gutsy i get a xorg bug that gives me funny gdm and window brder parameters [21:41] I would like to find why this happens [21:42] heyyy [21:42] how do i manually set the default gateway ? [21:42] should i be filing a bug report or something? [21:42] cisti: you will also probably be able to find out what the problem is by adding the "-v" option, for verbose , this way you will be able to see the entire output of the application and tell us whats going wrong, or if its just a qestion of conflicting sources or something [21:42] why Flash, when I close the browser, crashes it?? [21:42] it is nonsense [21:42] brand0n have you installed or booted from the live CD? [21:42] it happens with Firefox... when I close it, after viewing a video on youtube, it CRASHES!!!

[21:43] raetsel99 I have it installed [21:43] Odd-rationale: nope [21:43] Mr_Bad_News, sudo route add default gw IP-GOES-HERE [21:44] no ompaul i mean how do i manually set eth1 instead of eth0 [21:44] Itaku: dunno then. sorry.. [21:44] but apt-get works fine... are the synaptic preferences who makes synaptic freeze [21:44] cisti: running "synaptic -v" is not going to work [21:44] Mr_Bad_News, sudo route add default gw IP-GOES-HERE eth1 [21:45] brand0n , if you open a terminal and do lspci does it list the card? [21:45] raetsel99 I installed it on my friends' computer too, and internet worked out of the box there [21:45] raetsel99 no === DreamThief is now known as dreamthief [21:45] cisti: the reason why i am asking you to use the terminal is so that you will see if the problem is the ui or if its something a little deeper dug. running the command in the terminal will return with a command you could enter to fix synaptic [21:46] i unplugged my wired connection [21:46] cisti. the apt-get that you wanted to use synaptic for [21:46] did it work [21:46] Mr_Bad_News, wjhat you mean ;-) [21:46] ping binarical-app === dreamthief is now known as DreamThief [21:46] YES [21:46] im on wireless finally [21:46] that worked ompaul thanks [21:46] Mr_Bad_News: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:14] how do i find out which if my wireless adapter can be put in monitor mode [22:14] binarical-app: I don't believe I need ndiswrapper because of the chipset in the card (prisim 54) [22:14] i got a question... i'm trying set a couple bits on a device to enable a function... but according to spec page it has "This register is located in private space" and not through standard PCI mechanisms... if read/write with setpci it just returns 0s... so I think i figured out the memory BAR of the registers i gotta set, is there some easy way to set bitmaks at a random physical memory location? [22:14] Hi, my mouse scrolling wheel is not working, how can i fix it? [22:14] buy an new one [22:15] heyy you guys, is it true that some laptops are no compatible with ubuntu?? :\ [22:15] TurtleBoots: ndiswrapper uses the windows drivers, so if you have windows on a partition and you a bit handy as to where the drivers are located you can very easily extract the driver and "wrap" it in ndiswrapper. i prefer to use mad wifi since it has always worked for me , and does proudly bost to support almost all wifi chipsets and cards [22:15] yes [22:15] nael: the mouse is in perfect shape, xorg configuration is not [22:15] Anyone know why a "BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller" would show up in hardware information but not pick up a signal on an acer laptop? [22:15] josedenoche: no, but it is true that some hardware does not have linux drivers. [22:15] josedenoche: irrespective of whether or not they are laptops [22:16] binarical-app: ok so mad wifi. can I apt-get install that? [22:16] I tunnel most of my traffic over an SSH connection (`ssh -D`)--is there a way to get a tunnel opened up when I log in? [22:16] TurtleBoots: the down side to mad wifi is you will have to install it from its page http://www.madwifi.org . there are simple and comprehensible how toos on mad wifi in the ubuntu forums [22:16] right now I open a terminal and run `screen -S tunnel ssh -D 8080 user@server` [22:16] and then detach the screen [22:17] 4 hours later and virtualbox doesn´t support x64 o´s [22:17] i see [22:17] binarical-app: I'll give it a go. Thanks mate! [22:17] please could someone help me with a virtual server that might? [22:17] your welcome TurtleBoots [22:17] np [22:18] ;-) [22:18] ubunto do brasil?

[22:24] what [22:26] tabijo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager [22:26] ok i have 17500 images in a folder and am trying to load one in the image viewer to scroll through and look at them. After choosing one and right clicking to select with open with image viewer, it has spent the last 5 minutes thrashing my drive while an "opening . . ." sits in the task bar. Getting impatient, I right clicked again and opened in gimp instantly. What the hell is gnome doing? I'm running gutsy gibbon [22:26] is this the right place for a hardy question? [22:26] ok i saw that one [22:26] swatTX: #ubuntu+1 is [22:26] but is that really all it takes ?? [22:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2895086 : tabijo [22:26] tripps: wonder if it's making thumbnails of everything forst [22:26] tripps: wonder if it's making thumbnails of everything first [22:27] tabijo: or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [22:27] Starnestommy, thanks [22:27] JeffATL, all the thumbnails have already been created and are all visible in nautilus [22:27] ah thanks will try [22:27] eog is in the process list sucking 50% of cpu as well [22:27] my hard drive light has been pegged for 10 minutes [22:28] nothing seems to work [22:28] tripps: You probably have 2 CPU cores. If eog was multithreaded it would suck down 100% :-) [22:28] ok [22:28] aha! it finally opened eog!! ;) [22:28] comes up with xgl not present [22:28] when i type alsamixer i get this: [22:28] hooray [22:28] alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [22:28] where do i get that [22:29] 10 minutes to do that [22:29] if i install an app that shows for kde in add remove applications will it work in gnome? and if so will it install KDE?? [22:29] stroyan, yeah running opteron i think [22:30] athlon64 rather [22:30] DKong: it will not install the kde de [22:31] so will install some sort of translator to run the KDE app? [22:31] so xgl is like something i can install from terminal? [22:31] DKong: it'll install core KDE libraries that it needs to run. no modifications have to be made to them to work [22:32] anyone else having problems with downloading upgrades today? [22:32] no [22:32] H0130 [22:32] not me [22:32] TESKO [22:32] how are you [22:32] DKong: KDE is the k desktop environment. if you have gnome, then KDE is not nessecary. if you are using ubuntu (gnome) and need a K application, seeing that both are debian distros, you will not need kde to run the application [22:33] getting drunk [22:33] tesko [22:33] heyy [22:33] binarical-app: if you have gnome, then KDE is EXTREMELY NECESSARY [22:33] hi when i install ubuntu, it connects to the wireless network, but there is no internet [22:34] i can't browse pages [22:34] do you know what should be done? [22:34] Boohbah: i agree with you entirely ......one hundred percent [22:34] ok can anyone point me to how i can install xgl [22:34] ma3x are you using a tandy? (i kid i kid) [22:34] Boohbah: can you tell me how i can simply switch to kde 3.5 please [22:34] tesko, i don't understand your question [22:35] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [22:35] boobah? does that install xgl? [22:35] Boohbah: in my past experianace, this command did not remove gnome, and i was left with a missmatch system [22:35] tesko, i use wpa2-aes [22:35] ma3x, do you know if your DNS servers are listed? that might keep you from the internet [22:35] tabijo: no [22:36] tesko, ubuntu asks me for the passowrd, i give it and the it connects to the network. but there is no internet i can't ping the nameservers for example [22:36] swatTX, 192.168.1.1 is listed as nameserver, which is good! [22:36] do you have dsl or cable [22:36] binarical-app: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [22:37] tesko, dsl with routers [22:37] *router [22:37] * binarical-app gives: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop a go [22:37] thank you Boohbah [22:37] can you , through your browser, connect to your router? [22:37] ok just closed eog and opening another image. let's see how long this takes. mind you going next and previous worked quickly. WTF is eog doing that is killing my HD to open a single image? [22:37] bonne nuit l'irc [22:37] ma3x, is it listed under the DNS tab of the network manager? [22:38] tesko, yes to my router, but not to the internet [22:38] Can someone tell me the best way to share Ubuntu files with Windows computers? [22:38] swatTX, yes it's listed i think so [22:38] i tried : sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl [22:38] well thats a start [22:38] abdrahim: samba [22:38] but when i try to start compiz it still comes up with xgl not ther [22:39] but when i try to start compiz it still comes up with xgl not ther [22:39] Checking for Xgl: not present. [22:39] ma3x, well that's what usually keeps me off the internet when i switch between networks. If it's listed under the Network Settings (DNS tab) then I can be of no further service =p [22:39] abdrahim: the best way to do it would be to ask your admin to "let" you into the windows network. you will still however need to use samba to share "your" folders with the windows network [22:40] swat I'll check thanks! [22:41] ok eog just loaded. only took 4 minutes this time. that's ridiculous [22:41] did anybody have trouble with samba after a gutsy distribution upgrade? [22:41] help! I've just upgraded my motherboard and now X has stopped working... I've tried to reconfigure xserver-xorg, but even though it apparently detects my mobo graphics (nvidia) the X server still won't start. [22:41] I don't have a browser since I don't have X - can anyone suggest how I can get some form of X working so I can try and find a proper solution? [22:41] X is overrated [22:41] abdrahim: to do this find your ip address , take it to the "network admin" pc and enter it as okay in system settings. on your computer attempt to "network". install samba, configure your shared folder [22:41] hola!!! [22:41] use the links browser [22:42] HI [22:42] alguien habla español? [22:42] kazuya [22:42] hi [22:43] ¡? [22:43] did anybody have trouble with samba after a gutsy distribution upgrade? [22:43] is there any way I can come to this chat room while running ubuntu from the live cd? [22:43] Kazuya, #ubuntu-es [22:43] abdrahim: if you have no option to be let into the network you will have to -F in [22:43] how do i use aircrack? [22:43] ?

Where should I move it to (dualboot with an existing Vista install) so that it doesn't cause problems. I have to resize Vista yet anyway. [22:50] ?

[22:51] How do you save the grub menu.lst file? [22:51] MrObvious. move grub to the boot partion that you created on the ubuntu disk [22:52] binarical-app: Ok, so when I resize Vista, it will use say the first half of the drive right? Then I just make a few EXT3 partitions for Ubuntu and make one a /boot? [22:52] MrObvious: if you install grub to the mbr you still will be able to boot windoze vista [22:52] binarical-app: And the computer will use Grub like normal?

[23:05] the /var/www dir? or the /media/sdb2/www one? [23:05] Is it just me, or did someone bork Nautilus in Hardy? I'm getting a symbol-not-found crash when I click an icon with libnautilus-burn-extension - nautilus_file_info_get_mount, I've reinstalled libraries, updated everything, restarted, to no avail. [23:05] dmsuperman, if /var/www is a link to /media/whatever then i THINK you willneed to tell apache to 'follow' links also. [23:06] Follow SymLinks ? [23:06] Wibble-: Hardy is there. Follow the UpgradeNotes link. [23:06] dmsuperman, i think thats the options [23:06] alright [23:06] dmsuperman, i havent messed with this in ages. :) but i recall needing that option befor. [23:07] Dr_willis: How can I ensure that apache actually has read access to the folder though? Which user/group is it? [23:07] Ok, I compiled a modifed wpa_supplicant [23:07] Were would I put it [23:07] Where* [23:07] dmsuperman: www-data:www-data [23:07] Dr_willis: And do you know why it is that when i try to choose a different user or group in the properties / permissions dialog that it changes back to root immediately?

[23:09] millertime_018: please burn the cd at the lowest speed [23:09] Dr_willis: I was using the nautlius -> right click -> properties -> permissions tab method of changing perms [23:09] dmsuperman, and were you running nautilus as root? I would hope not. :) [23:10] Dr_willis: Can't change permissions on the file as my own user. how can i allow my own user to do so? [23:10] no i'm not burning an iso [23:10] * binarical-app bangs head against the wall [23:10] i want to create an iso of the disc that i have in my drive [23:10] dmsuperman, if the thing isent owned by your user, you cant.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:11] millertime_018, how are you trying to make it anyway? [23:11] Dr_willis: so if I can't change the perms as a normal user, and i shouldn't run it as root, what should i do to change it? [23:11] dmsuperman, you MUST change them as root. using the shell is the best way. [23:11] chown command. :) [23:11] or with sudo [23:12] sudo -s or sudo -s or sudo su [23:12] *sudo -i [23:12] or sudo chown user:group /whatever/whatever/whatever [23:12] no need to make a sudo shell. :) [23:12] i have the disc in the drive and i'm trying to create an iso [23:12] where oh where have my little TTY's gone, oh where oh where have they gone [23:12] dmsuperman: On commandline something like: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /that/place/you/are/mounting [23:12] i dont know how [23:12] Dr_willis: so give www-data ownership over the /media/sdb2/www folder?

[23:13] millertime_018, cd? dvd? Video? PS2 game? ect.....? that dd command i gave can make a image of normal disks. [23:13] dmsuperman: You made a symlink in /var/www or you mounted something there? [23:13] its a dvd [23:13] Guys, I get an error message: [23:13] CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys [23:13] Wibble-: Well.

I forget, which is group vs user vs global? [23:16] dmsuperman: Wait, if it's mounted at /media/sdb2/someplace how are you accessing it from underneath /var/www ? [23:16] because even when it says it's done [23:16] no matter what i type [23:17] it wont go back to the homescreen [23:17] millertime_018, thats not exactly what you asked how to do.. :) copy the folder Vista to the HD. and use a tool like k3b or gcombust or other cd burnign tool to make a iso image file with the contents of the directory [23:17] dmsuperman, [23:17] genii: I mounted my NTFS partition to /media/sdb2. Inside that partition is www. I mounted /media/sdb2/www to /var/www [23:17] I'm ssh-ing into a server downstairs, but it seems really slow. Is there any way that I can tell if anyone else is ssh-ing in? [23:17] i've tried that-i already have k3b and i couldn't figure out how to do it with the program [23:17] dmsuperman, ntfs? EGADS... that may never work. :) [23:17] i've already got it on the disc [23:17] amorphous_ who [23:17] i don't want to have to reinstall ubuntu [23:18] Dr_willis: Windows / Ubuntu dual boot, it's the best option [23:18] amorphous_: I mean run 'who' or 'w' [23:18] no-one has a key :? [23:18] dmsuperman, ntfs will not beable to have the proper permissions for this stiff. is the BIGGEST problem [23:18] how do i get it to stop booting into unix? [23:18] dmsuperman: So you bind-mounted it like for instance sudo mount -o bind /media/sdb2/www /var/www/somesubdirnamehere [23:18] ? [23:18] hi guyz [23:18] i need help [23:18] join the club [23:18] any one here to help me here? [23:18] genii: I added it to my fstab and ran mount -a [23:18] dmsuperman, you will have to use the proper mount options to allow the web browser to access it fully. but that may cause other security issues. === lostmyTTYs is now known as miketosh [23:19] /media/sdb2/www /var/www none bind 0 0 [23:19] Hello [23:19] lostmyTTYs, thanks. seems like no-one but me - would it come up with two instances if therer were teo of me logged in (or should i just try that --- hang on... ;) [23:19] plz some one help me [23:19] Dr_willis: how do you mean? [23:19] Guest40819: what do toy need help with? [23:19] so does anyone know what's going on with my laptop? [23:19] Starnestommy? [23:19] what are you doing here? [23:19] stroyan: ok - thanks, I'll try... [23:19] do you always use that screen name? [23:19] Guys, where is the wpa_supplicant binary located [23:19] I really lost my TTY's, can anyone help me get them back???? GAH! There is no /etc/inittab in ubuntu like other nix's, so I don't know where to find when they get destroyed during boot [23:19] dmsuperman, with ntfs you have to set the permissions at mount time. to let the web browser access that one dir. it will also have full access to the whole ntfs partition. [23:20] i m new to linux and i have tried to run ubuntu but got a probblem [23:20] * binarical-app gives aptitude purge gnome gnome-core gnome-destop-environment a go / reboot now [23:20] Guest40819: ditto [23:20] dmsuperman, every permission/file on the filesystem will have the same perms/ownership. the web browser Might not like that sort of insecure setup. [23:20] dmsuperman, err. i mean the web server. :) not browser. [23:20] i m new to linux and i have tried to run ubuntu but got a probblem , any one here free enogh to help me? [23:20] Guest40819: could you please explain the problem? [23:20] Guest40819: just ask your question [23:21] miketosh /etc/event.d for inittab replacement, but consider removing splash from kernel boot line, seems to fix it for many [23:21] if it's that the computer keeps fsking itself, i got the same problem [23:21] Dr_willis: The entire partition is just storage, various documents and the www folder. It's fine (and even preferable) that the web server has access to it, i'd like php to be able to access the files [23:21] oh, thatnks a ton nickrud__ I'll check that out [23:21] Dr_willis: Is there some other way I should be doing this? === nickrud__ is now known as nickrud [23:21] I am having a problem installing compiz fusion [23:21] Dr_willis: would changing the document room to /media/sdb2/www outright, without mounting, make things better? [23:21] dmsuperman, i wouldent be keeping the web files on a ntfs filesystem. :) you do know thers tools to let windows read.write to ext2/3 filesystems? [23:22] nickrud__ any way to edit boot strings after booted, or do I have to reboot into grub? === RoBzZ_ is now known as RoBzZ [23:22] miketosh reboot into grub unfortunately [23:22] dmsuperman, if its on a ntfs filesystem - that may cause issues. tjat may be hard to track down. [23:22] Dr_willis: Aye, but they become a hassle to use. This is a primarily windows PC, but I'd like for the web server to be able to continue to run when i boot into ubuntu [23:22] I keep getting 'Failed to fetch...' during updates BUT i can ping the IP they are trying to get to. any ideas? [23:22] exit [23:23] dmsuperman, ive had no issues with the ext3 thing for windows. but good luck. :) You may have to do some disabling of the various apache security checks. [23:23] is there a specific command that I should run to get back to the homesc [23:23] I gotta run to the store. [23:23] dmsuperman fs-driver.org is transparent to winows, iirc. Windows won't even know the difference [23:23] still..... can someone help me to remove gnome from my system please [23:24] nickrud: Either way, I don't have the space to move all the files somewhere else to change it to ext3 [23:24] nickrud: it's tons of data, and to change filesystems i'd have to move it, and i haven't got a spot to put it [23:24] binarical-app https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE [23:24] thanks nikrud [23:24] *nickrud [23:25] nickrud: I'd prefer to keep it as it is, it's the single partition in my computer that's been most stable for me. i have terrible luck with partition management [23:25] if no one's gonna help me, i'm gonna leave [23:25] hi [23:25] dmsuperman then you're gonna have some fun with apache (I fear) [23:26] damn [23:26] jdong. I have a problem with compiz fusion. when I go to change my appearance preferences I get this "The Composite extension is not available' [23:26] who can i find ubuntu logo as GIMP file? like http://www.debian.org/logos/ [23:26] nickrud: Do you know where the DocumentRoot is defined by default for apache? [23:26] nickrud: httpd.conf by default is an empty file, and it's not in apache2.conf [23:26] dmsuperman you might get around most issues with setting umask=000 on the mount line. and it's /var/www , defined in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [23:27] rpm is hated by devs and end users. deb is hated by devs only. pacman and conary seem to be liked by both [23:28] Hi, how do I enable the Application => Office menu? [23:28] the Main Menu program just allows me to add/remove items to the menu [23:28] fizk enable the menu? right click the apps menu bar, or run alacarte [23:29] How do I run a file browser as root [23:29] hi there, i just bought some floppies to make a startup disk to flash my bios. but i cant even get ubuntu to mount it and format it? i wonder if my drive even works? [23:29] sudo ... [23:29] McGod gksudo nautilus, don't use sudo with gui apps [23:29] McGod: I've just been told that it's bad to run as root [23:29] I have a problem with compiz fusion. when I go to change my appearance preferences I get this "The Composite extension is not available' [23:29] nickrud: thanks, i'll try that [23:29] McGod see dmsuperman for good advice ;) [23:30] Does anyone know how to speed up the frame rate in ubuntu? I have a evo n600c laptop with an ati Radeon Mobility M6 LY graphics card. I have it set up for dual boot with winxp and xp is almost twice as fast with the frame rate... [23:30] hi all, where can I find a decent source of information online about cbreak mode? [23:30] is there a way to edit the link for the ubiquity release notes? [23:30] McGod you should make an effort to learn the basics of using the terminal for system management. Too easy to drag & drop something to where it shouldn't be. [23:31] :X Trying to find the wpa_supplicant [23:31] gotta replace with new 1 [23:31] McGod which wpa_supplicant === jcornwal1 is now known as jcornwall [23:31] Does anyone know where I could configure xchat-gnome to automessage a certain person (a bot that is authenticating people to a channel) upon me joining the channel [23:31] McGod that is, type that in a terminal ;) [23:31] blahblahx: hey man how did that language pack thing turn out [23:32] anybody: is this valid? sudo chmod 644 -R blah [23:32] nickrud: i can't find a way to enable a menu in alacarte, do you know how? [23:32] hi there, i just bought some floppies to make a startup disk to flash my bios. but i cant even get ubuntu to mount it and format it? i wonder if my drive even works? [23:32] fizk: put something in it [23:32] binarical-app: i figured out what was causing it, which is why im asking this new question. i had added a special folder in an effort to make the ubiquity release notes change, and according to the syslog was causing the problem (i think) [23:32] Randocal: think you would need a script for tat. i dont know that particular program. but when you make it, make sure you send to the whole hostname of the bot. so you eliminate fakes stealing your pass if the bot does go down [23:32] dmsuperman: i dont think so [23:33] binarical-app: how do i specify permissions? [23:33] Amaranth: there are a few apps in it [23:33] Hi everyone [23:33] anyone have an idea why my rythmbox music player randomly quits [23:33] fizk: are they checked? [23:33] wapko - i think creating my own script is above my level at this time, but if/when I get to that point I will keep that in mind. Thanks. [23:33] Amaranth: yup [23:33] i got a serious problem [23:33] fizk select the top level applications in the left pane, then check the Office submenu in the right pane [23:33] fizk: you have to have some visible item in a menu before you can make a menu visible [23:33] dmsuperman: have you read the man ? i dont know directly , i was judging from "blah" [23:33] fizk: then you should be able to check it [23:34] my comp shows 2 users on, but only one is on [23:34] I have a problem with compiz fusion. when I go to change my appearance preferences I get this "The Composite extension is not available' [23:34] is there any playstation 2 emulator in the repositories?
