[00:17] apatheti1-> you dont have network access when in recovery mode? maybe you can try to enable it? [00:17] unop: so it downloads the file and the next day it would delete the old file and use new file? [00:18] hello, can someone help me with a audio problem? [00:18] amenado: How do i enable it? If i gointo "network" using X it says "You do not have..." yet it says im root [00:18] but just to be sure, i ran sudo su [00:18] but i still coujld not do it [00:19] mtc267chs: just ask [00:19] apatheti1-> if you do ifup eth0 and then check ip a do you get an ip address?

[00:33] rooty - you need to enable the required locales - see example at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62975/. Hope that helps.... [00:33] Could someone help explain this to me: "fbpager.nextWorkspaceButton: 4" What is this button 4? In some other commands, I understand that button 1 1 means using the mouse to left-click twice.

[00:40] I have installed VMware on my laptop. I wanted to know if there was a way i get get my wireless to work for my linux (ubuntu) but setup my ethernet to work on VMware [00:41] alex-weej: Got it in but still get the message I need flash player installed. Do I need to reboot? [00:41] freezerburn: you shouldn't have to restart, maybe restart firefox. [00:41] Lewench, ask in #vmware [00:42] Pelo, I did. [00:42] freezerburn: and all my gutsy repos are working fine [00:42] Lewench, There most certainly is a way, how exactly to do it I don't know :) === jason__ is now known as nosa-J [00:42] danand_ Hi, I can't type the first line into the terminal, it generates an error. Can you tell me exactly what I type? [00:42] freezerburn: no... [00:43] alex-weej: http://pastebin.com/d7050e0c3 [00:43] Lewench: It is not easy, you'll have to set both interfaces by hand. Network Manager (the version in Ubuntu) is not happy managing two network interfaces at once. [00:44] Vorbote, I see, well then time for some major research =) [00:44] freezerburn: it should just work, can do ls -al /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so [00:44] Lewench: the vmware forums are the best place to find someone who can help you out. [00:46] rooty - no... that first line is the locale you need to add to the file /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local. You need to find out the locale you need to correctly display the characters you want and add it to that file. after that you probably only need to do step 2 to update the locales on your system to be able to correctly display them. [00:46] i suspect the ethernet card has HIV [00:46] my iptables looks right [00:46] alex-weej: I get back no such file or dir [00:47] Vorbote, Ok thanks. Btw do you know how to remove the system beep from ubuntu? Its really annoying. [00:47] has anyone here got mozplugger working for them? [00:47] freezerburn: ok sec [00:47] freezerburn: is there anything in that folder? [00:48] freezerburn: basically, that path should point to /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin, which should in turn point to swfdec [00:48] Lewench - system -> prefs -> sound & system beep tab [00:48] how do i make oprea faster [00:48] Lewench, 'xset b 0 0 0 ' does it for a lot of apps also. [00:48] freezerburn: though check about:plugins in your browser to see if it's listed [00:48] danand_, Great thanks. [00:48] freezerburn: also, what version of ubuntu? [00:49] 7.10 [00:49] ok, things may be a little different to me as i'm on hardy :S [00:49] Lewench - that beep is annoying :) [00:49] danand_, It drives me crazy. [00:50] i have a staples relay 4gb usb stick that doesn't work in ubuntu 7.04 or 7.10 or knoppix 5. it does work with an older 2.4 kernel though on a knoppix distro. any suggestions? [00:50] alex-weej: in about:plugins what am I looking for? anything with flash in the description? [00:50] Lewench - backspace == beep, autocomplete(tab)==beep, everything==beep :D [00:50] meep [00:51] freezerburn: a heading "Shockwave Flash" :) [00:51] danand_, the terminal and some apps may have their own beep settings also. [00:51] freezerburn: handlers for application/x-shockwave-flash [00:51] danand_ Thanks for your help. I'm sorry I have to go. I will read the logs and hopefully (won't be back). Thanks again. [00:51] rooty - np... hope you get sorted... [00:52] rawr?

[00:53] RAWR [00:53] unop_: this may be a dumb question but I should set the screensaver to blank screen correct? [00:53] freezerburn: you need to make that load some how. maybe try copying it into your ~/.mozilla/plugins folder [00:54] IdleOne, I blank the screen but don't use a screensaver .. if you're asking me what you should do, well, that depends on what your comp. does really, i find screensavers to be resource hogs and can't use them [00:54] * Fezzler [00:54] alex-weej: don't see /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla [00:54] IdleOne, did you manage to get the nasa image stuff working ?

My friend suggested i change CONCURRENCY to shell rather than none in /etc/init.d/rc because its supposed to speed up multicore system boot times [00:58] IdleOne: classic [00:58] IndyGunFreak, hush [00:59] although i am not normally a flash user or developer, i find myself very much wanting to use sIFR (the font rendering widget). sifr requres me to open and edit the distributed .fla file. .. . . ... . does anyone know a good application to edit a (hopefully extremely basic) .fla file in ubuntu? [00:59] Pelo: lol [00:59] alex-weej: http://pastebin.com/df78ed97 [00:59] so far i've tried synfig studio and it doesn't seem to open .fla files [00:59] and it's not muted [00:59] mtc267chs, in menu > system > admin > user check that your username has permission to use sound devices [01:00] i know that there are applications that will let me save or export flash.. but i need to actually edit an .fla file since that is how sifr is distributed [01:00] any ideas? [01:00] alex-weej: Captian Random Package installer at your service :) [01:01] yes, "use audio devices" box is checked [01:01] MFen, there is an app in the forum that can convert flash media to mpg and such so you can edit it , and then you can probably use the same app to convert back woudl that help [01:01] freezerburn: 0.5.1... hmm [01:01] !sound > mtc267chs check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [01:01] can some one assist me?, im on ubuntu 7.10, i cant play dvd's, i just need scripts to install lib's or such as to enable vlc to play dvd's...thanks [01:01] mtc267chs, proceed with the instuctions from ubotu then [01:01] freezerburn: yeah basically just copy the .so into your .mozilla/plugins folder to cheat it [01:01] Pelo: very doubtful. it's basically just a script container that houses a .ttf. it's NOT a movie clip [01:01] MFen, the app in the forum is called convertit , www.ubuntuforums.org [01:01] freezerburn: god knows why it's not working, i don't have a gutsy machine to test it on [01:02] MFen, nvm then [01:02] anyone know about the CONCURRENCY=shell trick for multicore processors? I bet this is whats causing hal to fail but I don't know why, i have a dual core cpu [01:02] Pelo: thanks anyway [01:02] MFen, What does the swf do and what do you want to change? [01:02] alex-weej: Sorry I don't understand how to copy the .so [01:02] NemesisD, undo it and you'll see [01:02] freezerburn: cp source destination [01:02] Pelo, but then i don't get dual core goodness :( [01:02] hello, once upon a time my speakers worked, now they do not. they work on my xp.

[01:05] IdleOne: well its definitely not a show you should watch around little ones, but there's some funny adult humor in them if you ever have time to watch it. [01:05] I can try //Joseph [01:05] presto1, a partial upgrade is what you get when you run the beta, it's like a major update but much deeper, but not like a complete distribution upgrade [01:05] IdleOne: i get pretty angry when people let their kids watch it, its definitely not for kids [01:05] and presto1 , for hardy talk go to #ubuntu+1 [01:05] how do I get the UUID value for /etc/fstab for a new drive I just added? [01:05] alex-weej: http://pastebin.com/df82e253 [01:05] IndyGunFreak: I have watched it. just dont enjoy it. the voices they use are annoying to me and make me change the channel [01:05] IndyGunFreak, what's not for kids ? [01:05] ok thanks for the info pelo [01:06] Pelo: south park.. [01:06] alex-weej: please excuse my noobness, thanks for your help so far [01:06] rance: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [01:06] IdleOne: oh ok.. its not for everyone, i just find the humor they use on there quite comical. [01:06] anyone want to help me with my sound card, I followed the complete guide- no avail [01:06] not to mention I am Canadian and took offence to the song :/ [01:06] Does anyone know where I can get some friends that uses ( C & C++ programmers or gamers? ) [01:06] IndyGunFreak, presonnaly I think you have a mental age of 5 to enjoy that show [01:06] freezerburn: you're meant to be copying the file /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/etc..... into your home folder under ~/.mozilla/plugins [01:06] freezerburn: two problems, one you used /path/source.so which was an example [01:06] SNuxoll: ty [01:06] rance: no problem :) [01:06] Pelo: lol, i'm just a big kid inside..lol.. i like the shows that really make fun of current events, etc. [01:06] freezerburn: two, you used sudo, which means your copy in your home dir will be owned by root. that's bad. [01:07] Joeseph, look in menu > system > admin > users , make sure your user has permission to use the audio device [01:07] its a funny show... and its been on 12 seasons, so i'm not th eonly one who thinks so..lol [01:07] freezerburn: just making sure you're learning, but here's the magic: [01:07] hey, if I have ssh setup to only accept PUBLIC KEY, can I then setup proftpd to use passwds? [01:07] Pelo: it shows me on there [01:07] freezerburn: cp /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so [01:08] I just donT' like the way they push christianity on everyone , for pet's sake how many times can Kenny get resurected ? [01:08] b/c I installed SSH as ONLY PK, but then proftpd is not accepting connections [01:08] any ideas? [01:08] Pelo: uh, they don't push christianity, quite the opposite actually [01:08] SNuxoll: oops, that doesnt work, dont have entries for the new disk, just for the existing ones [01:08] freezerburn: you might need to "mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins" first [01:08] why do I have a robots.txt and robots.txt.1 in my home folder? [01:08] it os ver port21 [01:08] Joeseph, you need to select your username and click properties, make sure audio devices is checked [01:08] fron [01:08] IndyGunFreak, ... look up sarcasm [01:08] IdleOne: wget likes to put .1 on the end of stuff. been doing that lately? [01:09] Pelo: sorry, ear ache today, my sarcasm detector is disabled today.. :) [01:09] Pelo: Audio is checked [01:09] alex-weej: but what does robot.txt have to do with wget? [01:09] Joeseph, you have the volume icon in the top pannel ? [01:09] any ideas, guys? [01:09] alex-weej: Ok, so I created the dir and did the cp, time for a test? [01:09] IdleOne: nothing, some script may have downloaded it [01:09] Pelo: ... hm no I don't [01:09] rance: really? [01:09] freezerburn: yes, restart your mozilla browser [01:09] yup, really [01:10] Joeseph, ok , there is an issue right there [01:10] Joeseph, open a terminal type lspci , check if you see your soundcard [01:10] rance: hrm, is it already formatted with ext2/xfs/etc, and what kind of disk is it? [01:10] Pelo: I have- I do [01:10] Is anybody here using x-chat GNOME? [01:10] freezerburn: also, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? you'll need that for the flash video codec that is used on youtube [01:10] male16can: I use irssi [01:10] male16can: only the slow kids [01:10] they're the ones facing the corner [01:10] male16can: why? [01:10] how do i change which server i am using? [01:11] Joeseph, sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer [01:11] is what i want to know [01:11] male16can: not sure on xchat-gnome, its been light years since i used it... i might have it on my PC though, hang on [01:11] male16can, check in the file menu [01:11] alex-weej: don't think so yet about the restricted-extras. I don't get the message anymore but I am getting a grey box with two white boxes where the player is suppoed to be [01:11] ok i see it [01:11] SNuxoll: its a regular ide drive in a "interchangable cage" mount configuration, I skipped it on kubuntu initial setup, I ran qtparted, and ext2fs -j and mounted the drive manually [01:11] male16can: isn't it IRC menu then connect? [01:12] now just need to add to /etc/fstab [01:12] Pelo: done [01:12] yeah it is [01:12] Joeseph, any icon T? [01:12] male16can: ok, so choose a server and connect to it. [01:12] rance: hrm, you could try looking in the other /dev/disk/by-* folders [01:12] freezerburn: swfdec has a click-to-play behaviour. try clicking it. i suspect you will need the codecs though for youtube. [01:12] hello,everyone [01:12] Pelo: I still see no icon [01:12] Pelo: I'm using xfce [01:12] I think I have to reboot to get those populated [01:12] IndyGunFreak: thanks a bunch [01:13] SNuxoll: btw, I did already, no help there either [01:13] Joeseph, try asking in #xubuntu then , they probably know better, I don't know how t navigate you around in it [01:13] male16can: np [01:13] rance: hrm, is it already mounted? [01:13] rance - you could try sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart ... [01:13] rance: ^ good idea [01:13] yes, its already mounted [01:13] so, does anyone know how the contents of a cd might just _disappear_ ? [01:13] Pelo: But then again, it doesn't work in the gnome desktop enviroment either, I'll switch really quick... [01:13] * Pelo is only half paying attention [01:14] i was trying to browse the cd, and now one of the folders "doesn't exist" according to the browser [01:14] rance: no, if you restart udev it'll remake device nodes [01:14] Joeseph, open a terminal and type alsamixer , is a sound device specified ( top part) , are the sliders up and unmuted ? [01:14] rance: meaning it'll show up in /dev/disks/by-* [01:14] dmsuperman, what cd ? [01:15] my windows cd [01:15] i was browsing it before i left [01:15] left the window open [01:15] came back 4 hours later [01:15] and one of the folders no longer exists [01:15] dmsuperman, damaged cd possibly, poorly burned is also a possibility [01:15] Hello [01:15] !hi | gfetco [01:15] gfetco: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[01:17] gfetco: there are hundreds of games in the ubuntu repos try installing some and have fun [01:17] dmsuperman: Thanks for the tip [01:17] gfetco, go to www.ubuntuforums.org and do a search for gfxboot [01:17] I like supertux [01:18] How can I msg people? xD [01:18] * Pelo tried penguin racer the other day and got seasick [01:18] krim, no problem. not sure how easy it is with firefox's cookie manager, but a wonderful extension to help is "Add n edit cookies" [01:18] gfetco, you need to be registered [01:18] Thanks pelo thanks idleone [01:18] alex-weej: do you think reinstalling gnash might help fix the button nav bars? [01:18] How do I convert a sequence of PNGs into a movie with ffmpeg or something like ffmpeg? [01:18] Pelo can you help me register, please? Sorry for bothering you xD [01:18] hi all, hoping to find some help with getting iMON PAD + LCD to work on kubuntu 7.10 [01:19] alex-weej: sure, I've got time to burn [01:19] act1v8, you could maybe try with avidemux [01:19] !register > gfetco check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [01:19] Pelo: Let me see :) [01:19] megacrypto, imon pad ?

[01:20] gfetco, that's jsut a trigger to send you instructions [01:20] aha [01:20] jumpkic1: it does a e2fsk every 30 mounts because you can't guarantee that journaling will always be perfect [01:20] hi, i'm trying to install some deb packages, the ubuntu-languages ones in hurdy but installation fails due to dependency errors.

[01:20] iwkse, ask in #ubuntu+1 [01:20] jumpkic1: EXT3 still suffers from many of EXT2's issues, that's why I use XFS (though it's broken in hardy, grrr) [01:21] Pelo: thanks [01:21] dmsuperman, sudo umount -f /path/ [01:21] SNuxoll, Broken in what way? [01:21] SNuxoll: I was just going to ask why we don't just use something like XFS instead [01:21] Am I registered now? [01:21] broken, huh [01:21] dmsuperman, lsof /dev/cdrom might give a clue also. Close allapps you dont need. :) is one idea also [01:21] freezerburn: sorry was just playing some GTA on Wine hehe [01:21] Jordan_U: broken as in massive data loss on reboot broken [01:21] gfetco, we don'T know if you are registered [01:21] freezerburn: ok if you download this file...: [01:21] jumpkic1: heh [01:21] SNuxoll, ouch [01:22] gfetco, yes you are registered [01:22] Jordan_U: yeah, it sucks, I miss my XFS, especially ACL's [01:22] SNuxoll: oh shizzle, that does sound pretty bad [01:22] Hello, I'm having a bit of a problem where Totem is playing all videos in black and white. Any fix? [01:22] gfetco, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [01:22] jumpkic1, Jordan_U: it's the fault of the new kernel in hardy, fixed one bug in XFS and brought up another [01:22] freezerburn: you're using "ppc" right? [01:22] alex-weej: I got GTA IV reserved, can't wait to get it [01:22] cheese, check in preferences, play around with the settings on the second tab === Virot is now known as wavy [01:22] freezerburn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/powerpc/swfdec-mozilla/download [01:22] Pelo why don't you allow private chat? [01:22] jumpkic1, Jordan_U: issue was, the previous bug was less likely to cause data loss than the new one ;( [01:23] And are you a "bot"? [01:23] SNuxoll, Can you give me a link to the bug report? [01:23] alex-weej: I think it's PPC but it's really on a Playstation 3 [01:23] freezerburn: that comes from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/utils/swfdec-mozilla [01:23] Is there any way to prepend data to multiple files of one extension type in a directory? [01:23] gfetco, because ppl have a tendency to send me private messages without asking and it gets pretty annoying [01:23] Jordan_U: ugh, if you give me a few minutes to dig it out [01:23] Pelo, re-inserting the disk brings the folders back up :s [01:23] freezerburn: the download links for packages are at the bottom, see? [01:23] dmsuperman, super [01:23] Pelo, there we go. Thanks - for some reason the saturation was tiny. [01:23] Pelo, as in, non existent. :P [01:23] alex-weej: ja [01:23] SNuxoll, I can find it, I was just hoping you had it saved somewhere [01:23] freezerburn: when you download the "deb" package, you should just be able to double click it to install it. if it says you need other packages, you can get them from the same page [01:24] fron [01:24] cheese, always start with the simple stuff [01:24] Jordan_U: no, I just got pissed and switched to ext3 ;( [01:24] Pelo you there? [01:24] freezerburn: you will probably need libswfdec-0.6-90 too, it's linked [01:24] gfetco, yes I am here [01:24] Jordan_U: I should have commented on the bug, but I didn't [01:24] Is there any screenshots for the games you sent me? [01:24] freezerburn: if it needs you to install more than just libswfdec, check with me first [01:24] What game is your favourite? [01:24] Pelo: I have lot's of PNGs, am I supposed to insert them by hand [01:25] superTux [01:25] gfetco, I didn't send you a game, gfxboot is a way to cange the boot menu around so it looks nicer , I don,t game [01:25] alex-weej: Package installer says Error:Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6 [01:25] gfetco, there are many games in add/remove in the application menu you can try them all free of charge [01:26] But they are too simple I wanna play some 3d MMORPG or RPG games [01:26] does anyone know any software to capture video via usb? [01:26] freezerburn: that's bad news, you really don't wanna be messing upgrading those kinds of packages [01:26] !games | gfetco [01:26] gfetco: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [01:27] alex-weej: like death and devistation bad news? [01:27] freezerburn: well i wouldn't go that far :p [01:27] hey guys how can i upgrade to another apache from source and know if it will replace the old one? i don't want 2 copies [01:27] so, how much a chance do you guys think i have of installing the windows version of guitar hero iii? [01:27] theRealballchalk, remove the old one first [01:27] freezerburn: if you're up for it, hardy is pretty stable by now -- they're more or less frozen for release now so it's as good as it's going to get before release day [01:27] also, what's a good app for editing isos? like poweriso for windows [01:27] Dr_willis i c [01:28] freezerburn: but in any event, file bugs against gnash if youtube doesn't render properly! [01:28] dmsuperman, ive heard of kiso, but it depends on what you want to do i guess. [01:28] dmsuperman, ive never had the need to 'edit' a .iso file. [01:28] alex-weej: sounds like a plan. Is it a hard plan? [01:28] Dr_willis: open the iso and delete a folder off it, simple [01:28] Pelo isn't there more the 2 rpg games? And all of them are Sci-Fi [01:28] Dr_willis: the iso is too big and when i overburn i lose important info ;) [01:28] Does anyone know any RPG Fantasy games like Final Fantasy? [01:29] dmsuperman, just a data iso? not bootable? [01:29] gfetco, go to www.digg.com , do a search for linux game , there are several articles with lists of games in there [01:29] Dr_willis: no, it's bootable [01:29] How can i check if a certain port is for people to connect to my teamspeak server? [01:29] gfetco, you could alwyas install some of hte emulatorrs and play Final Fantasy [01:29] Theres also the Ultima4 clone in the repos. I think its in there [01:29] pelo: I switched to gnome: can you still help me? [01:29] sorry for Zwisch_Bot [01:29] it is crazy [01:30] al done [01:30] bye bye [01:30] Joeseph, check in menu > system > prefs > sound , see if all theevents have alsa or automatic listed [01:30] DR Willis do you know where I could download a PS2 emulator to play the newest Final Fantasy games if you could help me I would appreciate it very much. [01:30] freezerburn: no it's pretty painless. as long as you haven't messed with anything too deep in your system, the upgrade should do it all for you [01:30] freezerburn: i don't know what you had to do to get ppcubuntu installed on a ps3 [01:30] KenSentMe: maybe the config file? try reading the install documentation [01:30] ok, this install is only about a week old [01:31] Joeseph, it's not a question of me not wanting to helP , I have very limited knowledge of hardware issues, [01:31] * Pelo tries his best but that is never enough [01:31] Does anyone know where to get a Working PS2 Emulator for Linux? [01:31] Pelo: okay: everything is auto-detect except sound capture, which is ALSA [01:31] freezerburn: well you have 2 options, one is to upgrade using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades [01:32] Dr_willis: found one called ISO Master, checking it out [01:32] redhook, i meant, how can i check if the system is actually listening on the port, but i found out i could use nmap for that [01:32] !sound | Joeseph did you try this ? [01:32] Joeseph did you try this ?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:32] freezerburn: the other is to download the hardy ISO and start fresh, but if you've set lots of things up obviously you'll be less keen on that :) [01:32] whats the package for compiz settings? === ajmorris|AFK is now known as ajmorris [01:32] and swapping out which effects are which [01:32] and configuring hotkeys [01:32] Intangir, search for compiz in synaptic [01:32] Does anyone know where I can get PS2 Emulator for Ubuntu?

[01:37] Joeseph, did it work ? [01:37] ahhhh why is my computer acting so slow>...? [01:38] it is tired [01:38] WTF [01:38] alex-weej: guess I should just download the ISO and burn it then [01:38] gfetco, language [01:38] I use http://deb.wapper.ru/nginx/Packages for my nginx install (don't want to have to build it myself) - but it says: [01:38] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [01:38] nginx: Depends: libssl0.9.7 which is a virtual package. [01:38] Oh sorry Pelo it won [01:38] freezerburn, I am having fairly large problems, I have been able to solve most of them but if you are new you might now ( but the next and previous kernel versions are probably fine ) [01:38] wont happend again [01:38] freezerburn: you could give it a go if you want! i don't know how you define "fun" :) [01:38] pSX readme file: "pSX emulates the Sony Playstation 1" === felipe__ is now known as FelipeMorales [01:39] gfetco, a quick google found http://www.pcsx2.net/ [01:39] Gah.. dri [01:39] branstro, still do a search in synaptic for libssl [01:39] alex-weej: fun is usually up at 2AM gripping tightly to a problem till it's fixed [01:39] friend ofmine jusf smashed my machine..

[01:40] branstro, also look for a related -dev [01:40] thats what happens when you knock up his dog [01:40] Pelo: libssl-dev is installed [01:41] freezerburn: i don't know what your expectations are for an open source flash player -- swfdec targets youtube playback specifically (and a handful of other common uses of Flash) but it's still a long way off complete coverage of the Flash spec [01:41] branstro, that's all I had for you [01:41] Pelo: this is for nginx: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-21), libpcre3 (>= 4.5), libssl0.9.7, zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1) [01:41] unfortunately if you're on anything other than x86 or amd64, adobe have left you out in the cold [01:41] Can I change the dependencies? === wicked_ is now known as sudobash [01:41] and the spec isn't open, that's why it's such a bugger! [01:41] Why would it be for *only* 0.9.7? [01:41] branstro, not that I know off [01:41] how can I make the Broadcom wifi turn on at boot ? [01:42] sigh, this sucks [01:42] branstro, usualy, it's for * or greater [01:42] Yeah. [01:42] holy crap. Windows XP Installing in a virtual machine, it estimated 39 minutes to install. Just finished in less than 7 8-) [01:42] branstro, look for a channel or a forum for the app itself ,see what they have to say [01:42] alex-weej: just trying to make this ps3 a enjoyable expreience to friends that come over and would like to experiment with linux [01:42] I have a simple question, How do you print out the full directory to a file? I mean I'm sitting in a directory where a file is at I want to > to another file, but I forget how to, pwd prints the working directory without the file. If that at all makes since.. lol [01:42] dmsuperman, I don'T beleiive it [01:43] alex-weej: I have this feeling that my updates and broken repos are tied to my network connection some how. It's got a Exclimation point on it but I've got internet [01:43] Please help I am new to Ubuntu and to Linux. How come I have to download source when downloading for Linux and Binaries when download for Windows... Why can't I get Binary for Linux when I want to download a Project? for example ( pcsx2 ) [01:43] rathel, try ls > filename that might out put a text file with the content, not sure it if work s [01:44] freezerburn: i wouldn't think a bad connection would corrupt your packaging system [01:44] gfetco: because there are about 1000 linux's [01:44] gfetco, not all developper make binaries for linux, it is their choice [01:44] alex-weej, only about 300 [01:44] ah thanks alex now i see [01:44] Pelo, believe it 8-) [01:44] only 1 order of magnitude out now [01:44] How can I compile a project? [01:44] :P [01:44] hi, is this laptop decent for ubuntu? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146444 [01:45] !compile > gfetco [01:45] * alex-weej fails [01:45] with kdedevelop? [01:45] !compile [01:45] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [01:45] gfetco, read this http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ [01:45] Pelo, the cd is an iso on my external hard drive, and it's installing over eSATA to my internal SATA drive [01:45] !compile | gfetco [01:45] gfetco: please see above [01:45] lol [01:45] !compile [01:45] gfetco, you might want to start with some simpiuler source to compile. That pcsx2 may be a bit rough. :) [01:45] lol [01:45] alex-weej, > will send the trigget responce to a private window , you didn't fail [01:45] In windows [01:45] I justed used dev-c++ when i programmed [01:45] dmsuperman, cheater [01:45] gfetco, ubuntu provides both source and binary versions of different packages [01:46] Linux is completly diffrent "gcc source -o dest" and such things [01:46] Pelo, psh, hardly [01:46] gfetco: dev-c++ is an IDE. you don't need to mess with an IDE to build wares [01:46] unop, he's talking about a source from a website [01:46] unignore leaves [01:46] Pelo, That's not what men, sorry for not making it clearer, I want the entire directory listing up to the file like /home/user/folder/file.txt and to do that >> to a file. [01:46] gfetco: actually you just need to run "make" :) [01:46] Yes I know Devcpp is an ide [01:46] so, i've been asking for like 3 days in #amarok but nobody is ever in there. How can I make it so double clicking something in the collection panel on the left plays it, rather than adds it to the playlist? [01:46] Make.sh? [01:46] Pelo, is he? it's not immediately apparent when reading his question .. [01:47] gfetco: no, "make" is a tool you have on your system for "making" stuff [01:47] rathel, sorry I don'T understand [01:47] gfetco: in the source tree, there are "Makefile"s that tell "make" how to build it [01:47] unop, we've been at this for a while, it's ongoing [01:47] Then how can I link it? [01:47] Whats the parameters for make? [01:47] Pelo, ahh right .. ;) [01:47] gfetco: so it's usually just a case of ./configure --whatever-options-you-want-(or-not); make; sudo make install [01:48] gfetco, almost any command has a --help argument to give you a quick idea of how it works [01:48] gfetco: if you install the package "build-essential", download the tarball you want [01:48] hello people i have installed wine but when i open the game High Grow with Wine i can't open it so whats the problem how i can play that game can somebody help me please? [01:48] rathel, the command "ls" will list the content of the folder, ifyou want to see what is in a file you need to open that file, if it is a text file use gedit , or nano , nano /path/filename [01:48] I have build-essentials [01:48] gfetco: ok, extract the archive you downloaded with the source [01:48] bosanac, ask in #winehq [01:48] gfetco, and if not ,you can usually do "man COMMAND" to read a full manual entry [01:48] Aldready done [01:48] open a terminal, cd /path/to/extracted/source [01:49] kk [01:49] wait 2 sec [01:49] gn8 [01:49] alex-weej, typing cd and then dragdropping the source folder in the terminal also works , fyi [01:49] I am in the source folder now [01:49] in the terminal [01:50] gfetco: now is there a readme? :) [01:50] oh thanks I didnt know the drag dropping part [01:50] so nobody knows how to double-click-to-play in amarok? [01:50] Pelo, I know, I give up, I'll just do the entire directory listing to the file by hand,I was hoping for something easier. but It's fine. [01:50] Oh no there is no readme what to do? [01:51] dmsuperman, right click , select propeties , open with tab, add amarok , make it the default [01:51] Pelo, i meant inside amarok, normally double clicking a song adds it to the playlist rather than plays it [01:51] gfetco: sec [01:52] gfetco, pcsx2-0.9.4/ has a big old INSTALL doc to read. [01:52] rathel, open a terminal, cd to the folder you want type ls > content.txt , then type nano conten.txt [01:53] Dr Willis ah thanks I found it now [01:53] So many files [01:53] xD [01:53] 9 files is many? [01:53] 9? [01:53] I think you got a LOOOOOOOOOONG night ahead ofyou [01:53] hello all [01:53] in the source folder [01:53] I switched the drives [01:53] I didnt see the docs folder [01:53] Dr_willis, of cource 9 is many,. you need to use both hands [01:53] and to my pleasant surprise....it worked! [01:53] Pelo, Yeah I did it this way pwd >> ~/file.txt && ls >> ~/file.txt and combined them in vim. lol I suck. [01:54] pcsx2-0.9.4(.004 Mb)$ ls --> bin/ build.sh INSTALL pcsx2/ plugins/ test.bat test.cfg test_readme.txt test.sh [01:54] theres just one thing though....im using an open source video driver [01:54] theres a warning about installing the proprietary driver from Nvidia [01:54] PCSX is trying to find my input device at /dev/js01, even though i told it to enable keyboard... hwats the /dev/ for keyboards? :( [01:54] * Dr_willis waits till gfetco realizes he has to go track down a ps2 bios file. [01:54] rathel, You can get the output of commands directly into vim with ":r! [01:54] gfetco, how beefy a machine do you have? [01:54] has anyone here had problems using proprietary drivers on Ubuntu? [01:55] hey how do i access a for example external harddrive via terminal? [01:55] I have a good computer... [01:55] eisenhower: cd to the mount point [01:55] belkinhelp2: no problems here [01:55] do see which wireless driver i am using, what command would i use? modprobe -l lists all the drivers in use? or just all the drivers possible? [01:55] like cd 'mount point' ? [01:55] belkinhelp2, no problems as such, just a philosophical differece of opinion [01:55] would that be like sda2 or something like that? [01:55] Jordan_U, Cool, but that wasn't really going to help me was I was trying to do, but it's fine now I did it the long way. lol [01:55] eisenhower: no, that's the device. the mount point is where you mount it [01:56] I can't seem to see the properties on my movie I ripped into .mkv files ? What could be up [01:56] the warning tells me that unless i install the proprietary driver i will be unable to use 3d aceleration [01:56] Maybe somone knows how to solve this issue. I am trying to get Mythtv towwork with ubuntu. I have everything working except X displaying on the TV though a pvr350 card. I have tried all the tutorials etc and still no luck. The only time X does display on the TV is during shut down of Ubuntu. Any ideas? [01:56] why do people here ask so many redundant questions? these things can be answered with a simple google search in less time than it would take some one to explain it [01:56] sielnt_: because we enjoy redundancy [01:56] In my case, i just spent half an hour asking google [01:56] I'm having a very weird issue. I messed up my install, and I've re-installed. I apparently re-installed from a 64-bit installation cd onto a 32-bit machine. Now, all my apt-get fetches are the x86_64 versions. how can I change that [01:56] belkinhelp2, that possibloy means that the open source driver does not support opengl [01:57] sielnt: like /media/ blah blah? its auto mounting so i'm not totally sure [01:57] Pelo....how would i find out if there is an open source driver for my card? [01:57] belkinhelp2, why not just use the restricted driver listed in menu > system > admin > restricted drivers [01:57] Sielnt: thanks got it. you were a great help [01:57] ill just take a gamble and install the proprietary driver and see what happens [01:57] hi [01:57] coopster: you could check your sources.list file maybe? [01:57] is there a way to update alsa to the version that is in 8.04 from 7.10? [01:57] Jordan_U, How good are you with vim? I kind of like but I have another question. lol [01:58] I'm looking how to dounload movies. [01:58] CorbinFox, I wouldn't [01:58] coopster: I'm not sure though [01:58] CorbinFox: you could, but why do you need to? [01:58] rathel, What's the question? [01:58] Pelo...doing that now [01:58] CorbinFox: 8.04 IS the updated version of alsa for 7.10 [01:58] ponygirl, try frostwire,org, that 's all you'll get in here [01:58] danbhfive: I've looked, all the servers are normal, no mention of amd64 or the like [01:58] IndyGunFreak: because it appears that the version used in 8.04 actually works for my sound card completely [01:59] CorbinFox: well, 8.04 is only 2 weeks away, i'd just hold out if i were you. [01:59] Jordan_U, I am using visual mode to copy and paste, any way I can paste in to a new line without hitting o and then pushing esc to get out of inserting text? lol Just to remove 1 step. [01:59] salut [01:59] or upgrade and embrace the horror of using a beta..lol [01:59] Well, I want to stay on ubuntu [01:59] I need some help with Kalarm, can anyone assist me? [01:59] coopster: you sure you dont want to just get the correct the cd? [01:59] CorbinFox, if you're 1337 enough you can upgrade to hardy, it's stabler then it was 3 days ago [01:59] hmmm....says i need to restart system...i thought that was just a windows thing!

[02:01] SNuxoll: do you know what paxil is? [02:01] SNuxoll, I would like to point out that I said "if" he was 1337 enough , emplying that it's not for the new user [02:01] it apparently doesn't have any good drivers for my vid card tho. there are none listed in the restricted drivers function [02:01] okey :) [02:01] but i can't speak english [02:01] :s [02:01] Could someone help me is there anyway in ubuntu, to use my desktop as a webcam so I could like stream it to someone live? [02:01] you clearly can't tell when people are kidding is can you? [02:01] hi everyone, hope I don't disturb... I'm looking for a channel about electronics, where could I find that? by the way, I am looking for the meaning of "stray pickups"... [02:01] Jordan_U, buffer. Sorry. lol Still new. [02:01] yo can sum1 show me how to install folding@home sum1 did a long time ago but i forgot and i now have a new install [02:01] Pelo: if you are leet enough to upgrade to hardy you'd already be running the beta P [02:01] If gnome's screensaver turns itself on while I'm on a different TTY or x server it freezes my screen when I go back to it and I'm forced to reboot (can't even go back to a tty to crash gnome :/), is there anything I can do to fix this without just disabling the sceensaver altogether? [02:01] so i wont be able to do any compiz/ANYTHING I REALLY want to do [02:01] IndyGunFreak: nope [02:01] CorbinFox, do a dist-upgrade after you upgraded from the disk there have been several changes [02:01] SNuxoll: you should take one [02:01] !properenglish | J-Unit [02:01] J-Unit: English is a language with rules, grammar, and correct spellings.

[02:02] SNuxoll, I am running the beta btw [02:02] rathel, I am not sure what you mean then, you wouldn't be in insert mode after a put ( I am probably misinterpreting what you asked ) [02:02] xxxx443354: use Tor. [02:02] xxxx443354: tor [02:02] Pelo: I am too [02:02] xxxx443354: sounds liek tor but tor is not secure [02:02] Pelo: been using hardy since Alpha 5 :) [02:02] xxxx443354: but most proxies are not anyways [02:02] what tor do? [02:02] kitche: in that case, NO proxy is secure [02:02] CorbinFox, just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade but donT, do it unless you understand that beta is not fully fixed yet and there are still issues [02:02] i just need to hide my ip [02:03] magnetron: I just said that but some proxies are VPN and such :) [02:03] SNuxoll, y is proper english a rule??? the whole point of "AIM-speak" is to make it easier to type a bunch of text.. [02:03] SNuxoll, I'm not that 1337, I 'm mearly 1335 [02:03] Jordan_U, Well, I am after I hit 'o' to open a new line, than I have to esc again and then use put. I was asking any way I can do that without going into insert mode when putting into a new line. [02:03] J-Unit: because it becomes impossible to read, and makes you look like you don't care about getting help [02:03] Pelo, Even for the beta it is better to use do-release-upgrade or update-manager [02:03] ponygirl , I would get a bit torrent client and start looking for torrent site . If you want movies and I would get iplist which is an ip blocking program too [02:03] Pelo: i understand where beta is atm, and honestly if I can get my sound fixed and my vid card working (and apparently beta also has madwifi for my atheros wifi card built it or something that tricked me into thinking it either way) then i dont really care. i think i'll try it [02:04] kitche: a VPN proxy isn't more secure than a TOR proxy, since the proxy still would have the possibility to spy on you [02:04] J-Unit: when ppl are tlkin' like this all teh time 2 u, it gets rly hard 2 read and respond 2 ur questions [02:04] SNuxoll, how is that not understandable??? even ppl who've never used instant messaging can realize sum1=someone [02:04] Jordan_U, I was telling him what to do after he upgraded from the disk he downloaded to make sure he gets all the latest [02:04] xxxx443354: https://www.torproject.org/ [02:04] salut [02:04] hello [02:04] Can someone help me use my linux desktop as a webcam ?

[02:06] I tried to run compiz fusion on Gutsy Gibbonand I change the xorg.conf then when I rebootgutsy and put the user name they give me thismessage: ubuntu run in safe mode... and I try to run ubuntu several times but I can’t because the message open before x windownot:I put this code:- "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"in recovery mode and I do right steps but it didn’t work [02:06] DarkSpirit221: if you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, you'll be able to listen to most radio streams in the "windows media" format [02:06] guivara, tape /join #ubuntu-fr [02:06] rathel, lowercase 'p' should paste on a new line by default, are you using capital 'P' ? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [02:06] MGS88, what did you change in xorg.conf the first time around ? [02:07] SNuxoll, slaytanic, k, ill make an effort.. [02:07] DarkSpirit221, what do YOU mean? I know of several 'radio' streams i can listen to under ubuntu/linux. [02:07] MGS88: what driver are you using? [02:07] magnetron: I'll try that right away [02:07] Jordan_U, No, it actually puts where my cursor is. [02:07] Can someone please help me install folding@home? I downloadedFAH504-Linux.exe and it's on my desktop. I have installed it before with instructions so, no, this is not a windows executable. [02:08] J-Unit: lol [02:08] IndyGunFreak, ? [02:08] rathel, That is odd, I just tried it and it puts on a new line for me, you don't have caps lock on? [02:08] unable to play DVD's [02:08] Holy crap, has anybody used Seamless integration with VirtualBox? [02:08] !dvd | smartguyz [02:08] smartguyz: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [02:08] If gnome's screensaver turns itself on while I'm on a different TTY or x server it freezes my screen when I go back to it and I'm forced to reboot (can't even go back to a tty to crash gnome :/), is there anything I can do to fix this without just disabling the sceensaver altogether? [02:08] Jordan_U, No. [02:08] dmsuperman, no idea wht that is , maybe ask in #vbox [02:08] help please [02:09] smartguyz: see above and follow the instructions for libdvdcss2 [02:09] Jordan_U, I mean I am sure, it's not on.lol [02:09] !dvd > smartguyz check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [02:09] Pelo, I'm using it right now. you can integrate xp or vista right into your ubuntu. right now, i've got a 100% ubuntu desktop, but IE6 running natively in XP [02:09] the windows pop out and become part of your normal desktop [02:09] J-Unit: just run the file [02:09] this is amazing [02:10] dmsuperman, sounds interesting , wonder if you can do that while running your "installed" guest os [02:10] rathel, What does capital 'P' do for you? [02:10] * Pelo starts with a capital P [02:10] pelo : i'd have never guessed [02:10] :) [02:10] Pelo, that's what it is. I installed XP, installed a virtualbox driver in my guest xp, and now all my windows integrate with ubuntu [02:11] Jordan_U, I don't see a difference. lol [02:11] J-Unit: I suggest creating a separate folder for it also [02:11] anybody have a good music library/playback alternative to winamp? beside amarok? [02:11] dmsuperman: quod libet [02:12] dmsuperman, not what I mean, I didnT' install xp in vmware , I setup vmware to run the xp installed on my hdd as dualboot inside the virtual machine , ie I can work in it from ubuntu, or I can boot it , it's the same OS [02:12] dmsuperman: VLC [02:12] dmsuperman: install it via sudo apt-get install quodlibet* (installs some plugins this way) [02:12] danbhfive, k, omg that was so easy...last time i did it all with commands...anyway i had to cd to directory and use ./FAH504-Linux.exe to run it (in case others wanna do it) [02:12] DG19075, VLC is just playback, i wanted library too :P [02:12] * Pelo should realy get back to watching "The messenger" it does require some focus [02:12] rathel, Ahh, my mistake, I usually put after doing a 'yy' and that puts a newline in the buffer :) [02:12] ahh, I see.... [02:12] Pelo, that's sweet, do you know if virtualbox can do that? [02:12] Pelo, problem with that way is that xp will constantly be seeing it running on a different 'machine' and may want to reconfigure drivers, each time it changes machinesm and possiblly reactivate the activation stuff in windows. [02:13] danbhfive, and initially i had the bunch of files on desktop and then made the folder ;) [02:13] Pelo, ive neer had that work very well for me. :( [02:13] oh my god....I dont know why i didnt try Linux sooner....this is completely awesome [02:13] dmsuperman, no I don't know but I don't know why I couldn't off hand, you'd hvae to check [02:13] SNuxoll, "It's designed around the idea that you know how to organize your music better than we do." sounds interesting :P [02:13] J-Unit: ya, kinda tricks ya :p [02:13] belkinhelp2: lol, wait till you have a problem then yur'e gonna say, "WHY DID I EVER DO THIS".. lol :) [02:13] has anyone here tried to put an OS from one PC into another one with a different chipset_ [02:13] Pelo, i think the free virtual box - dosent have that feature. [02:13] dmsuperman: it's great, and has a killer UI [02:13] belkinhelp2: i'm sure people have tried. [02:14] Jordan_U, Ah, so It's 'yy' and than 'p'? It works that way, Thanks. [02:14] dmsuperman: it can rename files based on their tags, or get tags based on file names [02:14] hey ppl... i made 2 C programs, client and server, using sockets. They work in my university but not working in my computer... function accept() gives me error when client tries to connect to the server... can anyone help me configure linux to let it connect?? [02:14] belkinhelp2: I think I have done what you are saying [02:14] rathel, np [02:14] dserban: http://www.snuxoll.com/sites/default/files/Screenshot.png quodlibet is featured in this screenshot of mine [02:14] Dr_willis, itworks farly well for me but I hardly use it , it's vmware-server , it needs the vmware utils thiingy for drivers, would you like me to dcc you the guide I followed ? [02:14] Yeah, i can remember many times reinstalling windows because it couldnt figure out it had new hardware [02:14] yeah.. [02:14] rathel, In case you don't know, 'yy' will yank ( copy ) the entire line [02:14] ive have never experienced this before....linux is awesome...i feel like ive been the brunt of a cosmic joke [02:15] Pelo, vmware can do it. :) i dont think vbox can, the next release of vmware is supposed to have a similer 'transparent' feature that lets the windows apps appesar on the linux desktop also. [02:15] wats the second part of the 1024x... res on non widescreen screens? [02:15] Jordan_U, Okay. :) [02:15] i think windows worked once from an intel chipset to another intel chipset....but that was ONE time! [02:15] Dr_willis, do you know if that version will be available for ubuntu ? [02:15] Pelo, i saw some guides on a ubuntu training page the other day. but i will kepe my xp in its own virtual machine/file. :) for easy backups for now. === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [02:15] Pelo, I imagine it will. but proberly in backports. [02:15] J-Unit, 1024x769 [02:15] hello how can i mount my Motorola RAZR Vri into my filesystem? [02:15] belkinhelp2: its not a very good idea, any reason why you can't just clean install on the other PC? [02:15] Did i mention that I am completely in awe here at 5am my time_ [02:16] J-Unit, 768 sorry [02:16] how to re-connect automatic internt using pppoe [02:16] IndyGunFreak...why reinstall if it works_ [02:16] cause it doesn't ,automatically [02:16] Pelo, 768*? [02:16] the only adjustment I had to make was the video card driver [02:16] is there a chan for ubuntu server? [02:16] belkinhelp2: no, you asked about putting it on another machine [02:16] belkinhelp2, have some coffee wake up , you'll be less impressed [02:16] lol [02:16] hey ppl... i made 2 C programs, client and server, using sockets. They work in my university but not working in my computer... function accept() gives me error when client tries to connect to the server... can anyone help me configure linux to let it connect?? [02:16] exit [02:16] J-Unit, you asked about 1024x768 no ? [02:17] IndyGunFreak...im already on the other machine with the old Ubuntu OS [02:17] oh ok [02:17] whats a better server distro? ubuntu || debian etch? [02:17] arooni: both are about the same [02:17] ltcabral, that might be a question for ##linux [02:17] arooni: they're about the same.. provided you know how to use them both [02:17] arooni: I prefer Ubuntu's kernel patches personally [02:17] I would have fresh installed on a RAID with two 36BG Raptors....but 10k rpm was just too damn noisy [02:17] um... uh... i don't know how to say this but the sigmatel may work more than stated... [02:17] hm... k [02:18] this old 60GB 7200rpm Seagate is bearable [02:18] Pelo, ya bcuz i have a 1600x1200 wallpaper and i have a old laptop and want to use gimp to make it 1024x768 [02:18] well...not really...it has a high pitched wine to it [02:18] J-Unit: why do you want to resize it? [02:18] If gnome's screensaver turns itself on while I'm on a different TTY or x server it freezes my screen when I go back to it and I'm forced to reboot (can't even go back to a tty to crash gnome :/), is there anything I can do to fix this without just disabling the sceensaver altogether? === billisnice__ is now known as billisnice [02:18] J-Unit: gnome and KDE will automatically shrink it for you [02:18] any thing in Ubuntu to make HDs less noisy? [02:18] SNuxoll, oooo ya its tru [02:18] I noticed that it doesn't work with recorder but for some reason the SigmaTel (soundcard) is working in teamspeak [02:18] SNuxoll, i feel stupid :( [02:18] c0Ld, try searching in www.ubuntuforums.org [02:18] how to re-connect automatic internt using pppoe [02:19] J-Unit: we all have to learn somehow :) [02:19] Snuxoll: i think HD sound is more or less because of the hardware itself [02:19] SNuxoll, but it uses a little more memory, a very little more [02:19] I think ill go for some legal stimulant...coffee [02:19] mmmm coffee [02:19] SNuxoll, well i did no it its just i havent thot it thru...but thanks for telling me [02:19] Pelo: extra MB or so depending I guess [02:19] J-Unit: no problem [02:19] if I have coffe at this time I 'll be here for another 5hrs [02:19] alex-weej: why can't I use adobe's player? [02:20] probably cuz you don't have installed correctly [02:20] freezerburn, you on 64bit? [02:20] freezerburn: they don't have one for PPC [02:20] SNuxoll, Well, I did know it's just that I haven't thought it through, but thanks for telling me.* im sry for my quick ways.. [02:20] freezerburn: only intel 32-bit architecture [02:20] yea, 64 doesn't even work [02:20] freezerburn: they don't even have a 64 bit one, not even on windows [02:20] J-Unit: 'tis OK, you live, you learn (to think things through in this case), you move on [02:21] alex-weej: oh.. So how do I uninstall what we did and go back to gnash? [02:21] we have to use nasty hacks to make the 32bit version work in a 64 bit browser [02:21] SNuxoll, anyway, next question ;) [02:21] Is it easy to learn to compile because the only thing stopping me from going to 64-bit is my modem driver. [02:21] freezerburn: just open .mozilla/plugins in your file browser [02:21] J-Unit: it can be pretty frustrating [02:21] and delete the SO [02:21] then apt-get install gnash [02:21] J-Unit: compiling is usually easy [02:21] how do i create a .sh script? [02:21] adobe doesn't work on PPC? i didn't know that [02:22] Sam827_: open it with a text editor [02:22] J-Unit: finding the dependencies you need is the hardest part, other than that it's just ./configure && make && sudo make install [02:22] Pelo--> I do the steps on ubuntu forums [02:22] compiling is often easy; ./configure && make && sudo make install --- except when it's not easy :-) [02:22] anyone know when the final FF3 is coming out? [02:22] alex-weej: where was that exactly again? [02:22] SNuxoll, i wont need depencies for a driver, right? [02:22] !b-e | J-Unit [02:22] J-Unit: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [02:22] J-Unit: you'll need to install the build-essential package, after that you should be good [02:22] MGS88, what steps ? sorry , there are a lot of ppl here I donT' remembe what I told you [02:22] !tasksel [02:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about tasksel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:22] Starnestommy: I want to CREATE one? do i just type in wat i want i.e. chmod blah blah and then save as a .sh? [02:23] Sam827_: not quite [02:23] no thanks [02:23] Sam827_: yes, although the first line should be this: #!/bin/sh [02:23] Starnestommy: sorry didnt mean to put ? [02:23] alex-weej: So if I wanted to watch videos at www.anime6.org it wouldn't be possible cause gnash is pretty much only youtube? [02:23] Starnestommy: ok thanks [02:24] does ubuntu 7.10 not have tempwatch? [02:24] Starnestommy: does that change the PATH, cuz i was wonderin how to do that [02:24] magnetron: Well, this thing just says "stopped" in the web player... [02:24] Sam827_: it has the same path setting that almost everything else has [02:24] FotoPhocus: june [02:24] ok [02:25] Starnestommy: Well than how do you add a folder to your path, because mwany things have asked me to do it and i dont know ho [02:25] dnyy for laptops? you might try lm-sensors [02:26] pelo,if i unselect desktop option and select xubuntu option in tasksel,will that auto remove ubuntu-desktop and install xubuntu-desktop? [02:26] SNuxoll, i have that package installed, so all I need is to 1)cd to directory, 2) type "./configure" and then 3) type "make" then 4)sudo make install ? [02:26] Pelo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel [02:26] Sam827_: PATH=/path/to/folder:$PATH [02:26] Starnestommy: ty [02:26] J-Unit: yup :) [02:26] MRproblem, I don' t beleive it will remove ubuntu-desktop, what are you tring to do ? [02:27] Pelo, remove ubuntu-desktop and install xubuntu-desktop [02:27] bazhang: alright, checking it out :] [02:27] how do I get to .mozilla/plugins?

This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. [02:28] You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu." i get no sound [02:28] magnetron so, know of anything?

[02:28] pelo,thx,and bazhang [02:29] alex-weej: I don't understand what you mean by .mozilla/plugins [02:29] freezerburn: inside your home directory [02:29] CorbinFox, that command is juust for after you have upgraded to get the very latest packages availabe, since the beta is always getting updated, do not use it to upgrade from gutsy to hardy , sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:29] Hi, could some one recommend me a video encoding program that will use my quad core computer?

[02:31] <_D0nets> when i go to tools > download, it doesnt pop up [02:32] <[1]DrPoodle> on one I have ubuntu installed, and the other has xp [02:32] <_D0nets> so i think something is arong with the ability to download anything at all in firefox [02:32] [1]DrPoodle, meet me in #grub [02:32] <_D0nets> wrong* [02:32] <[1]DrPoodle> kk [02:32] mc-george: uhm, ffmpeg is just an encoding app, doesn't do the DVD stuff, I use DVDauthor for that myself, but both apps are CLI based and may not be what you are looking for [02:32] _D0nets: this is gutsy or hardy? [02:32] freezerburn: yeah, you copied it out of somewhere else anyway [02:32] _D0nets: #firefox on irc.mozilla.org is probably the best place to look, they can help you with firefox bugs [02:32] snuxoll: ok, I tried running convertxtodvd under wine, but it didn't work [02:33] -- help anyone been able to compile gnome scan .6 on 7.10 or .52 for that matter both won't compile it is looking for sane (can't find it eventhough it's instaled) [02:33] you think that will use 4 cores well? [02:33] mc-george: heh, well my toolchain for making DVD's is kinda convulted [02:33] mtc267chs: have you tried the obvious step of installing the gstreamer plugins via synaptic? [02:33] snuxoll: ok [02:33] <_D0nets> ok thanks flannel [02:33] yes [02:33] <_D0nets> bazhang this is gutsy [02:34] mc-george: ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -target ntsc-dvd -sameq file.mpg, which I then make a dvdauthor xml file for which makes a DVD VIDEO_TS structure [02:34] so I successfully installed Hardy beta 4 on a 10 year old HP Pavilion running a 500Mhz Intel Celeron CPU with 128Mb of RAM today...rather impressed [02:34] Hey guys, I have a problem... I dual boot gutsy and windows. My problem is that since I have used my external harddrive on gusty, windows can't see it. Any suggestions? [02:34] mc-george: it's advanced and allows for massive customization, but is not for the average user [02:34] mtc267chs: which ones are you missing still? [02:34] how do i change the window decoration when im using compiz [02:34] snuxoll: ok, thanks for your help [02:34] photoshopgeek: yes, get the data off of it and back it up. === [1]DrPoodle is now known as DrPoodle2 [02:34] mc-george: no problem [02:34] <_D0nets> intangir what window decoration [02:34] <_D0nets> if you mean the border [02:34] IndyGunFreak: that depends on whether you have emerald installed [02:34] <_D0nets> go to system preferences appearance [02:35] i have all of them as far as i can tell [02:35] crdlb: lol, what would backing up a drive have to do w/ emerald? [02:35] Is there a way to show ALL the bugreports reported by an user in Launchpad, included the resolved bugs? [02:35] Bravewolf: yeah [02:35] crdlb: oh nevermind, i see what happened.. [02:35] SNuxoll: how? [02:35] FastZ: nice work; please share it with the folks in #ubuntu+1 [02:35] indy: that's where I keep everything. I want to be able to use it for both os's [02:35] Bravewolf: bugs.launchpad.net/~user, http://bugs.launchpad.net/~snuxoll is my bug page [02:35] IndyGunFreak: oopsthat was for Intangir [02:36] crdlb: yeah, i realized that, np [02:36] photoshopgeek: well, it dosn't make sense youc an see it under linux, and not XP [02:36] Intangir: do you have emerald installed? [02:36] a friend has a Canon MF5770 and it just plain has ZERO *NIX/CUPS support. Any reasonable way to use Windows print drivers in Linux? Virtualization is the only thing I can think of. [02:37] SNuxoll: in that way the bug tagged "Fix Release" wasn't shown [02:37] Bravewolf: if you go into advanced search you can search by bug status [02:37] indy: I know... in gutsy it's fine. in windows it looks like it loads the drivers ok, but I can't find it in "my computer". The thing is I can see it in my device manager [02:38] Bravewolf: meanining you can tell it to look for fixed bugs [02:38] cellofellow: google turboprint not free but may be worth it for your friend [02:38] tried that [02:38] SNuxoll: thanks [02:38] Is there any way to get sound recorder or other programs to use OSS instead of ALSA? [02:38] no MF-series printers in TurboPrint. [02:38] Canon is a brand i wont be buying any time soon. :( [02:38] alex-weej: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62982/ is it normal to get those errors on universe, restricted and multiverse? [02:38] Dr_willis: ditto [02:39] Too bad he already bought it and isn't interested in a new printer from a respectable name like Epson or HP. [02:39] Bravewolf: no problem [02:39] crdlb: i just installed stock 7.10 [02:39] with the desktop effects [02:39] freezerburn: why dont you use the standard repos? [02:39] still curious does tasksel works fine for ubuntu [02:39] Intangir: then you can change all the themes in the same place as normal: System > Preferences > Appearance [02:39] Kohlrak: Audacity can use ALSA. Audoir (spelling?) uses JACK. [02:40] freezerburn: no [02:40] So, only possibility is Windows in VBox and USB enabled? [02:40] And cups-pdf? [02:41] indy: and in my admin options I can see the drive, but there isn't a drive letter assigned to it and I can't change it. I've tried it on two different laptops with xp and vista to no avail... gotta figure this out...

[03:34] Odd-rationale, that line pretty much covered it [03:34] alex-weej: yeah, it works if I'm inside the LAN [03:34] Pelo: hopefully. [03:34] i've got a pretty decent rig going, and if i give the vm a gig of ram will it be playable on some of the lighter games? [03:34] crdlb: ok, this is strange i have read permission. just tryed putting another theme i backed up in the same place and it got picked up. i've also rechecked that the theme is in the correct place about 5+ times, and this theme also works for other people. [03:35] smartguyz: did it work? [03:35] dmsuperman: virtualbox does not have an accellerated graphics driver that can handle games using directX [03:35] dmsuperman, no way to tell depends on the game requirements and the resources allocated to vbox [03:35] tgelter: and that's just a unicast UDP/IP packet right? [03:35] RAdams, are there any virtualization programs that can? or do i have to do a full dual boot to do it? [03:35] alex-weej: wikipedia says: "The Magic Packet is a broadcast frame containing anywhere within its payload 6 bytes of ones FF FF FF FF FF FF followed by sixteen repetitions of the target computer's MAC address, possibly followed by a four or six byte password." [03:36] dmsuperman: none can really do that. virtualization with full accelerated graphic support is a ways away yet [03:36] tgelter: yeah, so can you send UDP packets in from outside your LAN via the NAT into the DMZ and into your computer? [03:36] if not, your NAT DMZ isn't working properly [03:36] I added a network share to my fstab, but now I can't boot if I'm not connected to the internet. Is there a way I can edit the boot line or something to ignore that fstab entry? [03:37] alex-weej: I don't know...I have the computer in the DMZ set up as a webserver, and that doesn't have any problems, but that's TCP... [03:37] RAdams, darn, spose i'll have to setup dual boot after all :( [03:37] RAdams: boot recovery mode? [03:37] tgelter: OK, try a TCP packet then [03:37] Is there some way with which I can troubleshoot a postfix/mysql/courier setup I have? I have verified that the mailboxes I have setup are getting mails, I just cannot log in remotely [03:38] RAdams, I think you can add noauto to the line so it doesn't mount if it is not there [03:38] what's the command to show what version of ubuntu im running? [03:38] alex-weej how do I do that? [03:38] !release [03:38] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [03:38] RAdams: Add 'noauto' to the options column for that share in fstab [03:38] alex-weej: wakeonlan only uses udp packets, I suppose I'll need a different app then [03:38] that't not waht I had [03:38] pelo: I'm aware of that, but i can't get to my fstab at all right now [03:38] RAdams, boot the live cd [03:39] tgelter: hm that's a shame, maybe you could try and find out if UDP is actually working in your DMZ instead [03:39] Pelo: hi :) [03:39] RAdams: Boot with 'init=/bin/bash', mount / as read-write, make the change, reboot [03:39] hello chalcedny [03:39] pelo: I don't have the live cd [03:39] RAdams, recovery mode ? [03:39] pelo: recover mode doesn't boot [03:39] alternate cd ? [03:39] Pelo: i forgot how to tell what version of ubuntu i have? [03:39] alex-weej: know of a quick way to test? [03:39] RAdams: Boot with 'init=/bin/bash', mount / as read-write, make the change, reboot [03:39] odd [03:39] alex-weej: im a smart bot [03:40] hey guys, how do I set azureus to stop seeding after it finishes downloading? I don't like to leech, but i'd like to be able to at times...(I DO seed at night, it's just that I like being able to do it only when I TELL it to seed) [03:40] Pelo: uname -a for kernel version [03:40] cafuego: trying that now [03:40] pokerfacepenguin: ty [03:40] chalcedny, you can check in menu > system < adnim > system monitor , on the first tab [03:40] there is no try, it just works :-) [03:40] hey guys is there any C irc channel around here? [03:40] pokerfacepenguin, we want the ubuntu release and it's uname -r for the kernel [03:40] tgelter: pondering that myself [03:41] ty Pelo :) [03:41] ltcabral: Like say #c? [03:41] ltcabral: ##C [03:41] wubrgamer, ask in #azureus-support [03:41] alex-weej: The magic packet is a UDP broadcast packet [03:42] whats the diff between #c and ##c lol [03:42] tgelter: ah, so not unicast [03:42] Pelo: you mean you want to know whether you have gnome or kde, or do you want to know gutsy or hardy? [03:42] ltcabral: #c is a redirect to ##c [03:42] alex-weej: and this document I just found continues: "Note that routers are usually configured to drop directed broadcast packets" [03:42] chalcedny: lsb_release -a [03:42] pokerfacepenguin, gusty or hardy [03:42] ok thx [03:42] tgelter: yeah, so you can make it unicast instead right? [03:42] Pelo: cat your /etc/sources.list file, it will tell you [03:42] pokerfacepenguin, it's not me that neeaded to know it was chalcedny , there is a release - something command but I nevder remember [03:43] tgelter: http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/wakeonlan/mini-howto/wolpython.txt [03:43] pokerfacepenguin, you can also see it listed in the system monitor applet [03:43] tgelter: try fudging that to send unicast to your router and maybe the NAT will route it to your PC [03:43] Pelo: i meant /etc/apt/sources.list [03:43] pokerfacepenguin, I know [03:43] ty lordleemo :) [03:43] tgelter: it doesn't have to be broadcast, you see [03:43] alex-weej: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,11826841 [03:44] confirmed this is feisty [03:44] lordleemo, had it [03:44] alex-weej: that is my router that this guy mentions, so apparently it's possible w/ the multicast packet === c is now known as Charitwo [03:44] tgelter: i think he's suggesting that the DMZ is your .255 [03:44] i gota register something to speak in ##c? [03:44] tgelter: i don't think you really want that, but i guess it does the job [03:44] alex-weej: but I don't know what he means "to make the private address a broadcast" [03:45] !register > ltcabral check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [03:45] tgelter: if your LAN is 192.168.0.*, there is a broadcast address at 192.168.0.255 [03:45] alex-weej: oh, so he made *his* pc the *.*.*.255 [03:45] no, on the DMZ setting [03:46] he chose a.b.c.255 instead of a.b.c.10 or whatever his computer is [03:46] Hello. I have a question. i'm on an ubuntu 7.10 system, and the window borders are set up so the maximize/minimize/restore buttons are in the top left, instead of the top right. I don't rmemeber how i changed this, but i would like to restore it back to normal. does anyone know how to do this? thanks [03:46] ok I'M out, g'night folks [03:46] tgelter: i think that's what he means anyway [03:46] alex-weej: interesting...is there any reason why I would *not* want that to be the case for my machine? [03:46] tgelter: actually, i don't think he's even using DMZ... [03:46] tgelter: do you have this setting then? [03:47] alex-weej: to what setting do you refer? [03:47] Hello. I have a question. i'm on an ubuntu 7.10 system, and the window borders are set up so the maximize/minimize/restore buttons are in the top left, instead of the top right. I don't rmemeber how i changed this, but i would like to restore it back to normal. does anyone know how to do this? thanks [03:47] !patience | speaker219 [03:47] speaker219: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[03:48] alex-weej: I'll look [03:49] tgelter, I already looked there. [03:49] Well it doesn't. I've tried the open ATI driver, but the problem was just the same [03:49] speaker219: look harder, it's really there where you'll change it [03:49] Kenshi #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release, /j #ubuntu+1 [03:49] tgelter: it isn't [03:49] oh nice [03:49] speaker219, tgelter: gconf [03:49] alex-weej: yeah, I don't see it [03:50] speaker219, tgelter: /apps/metacity/general/button_layout [03:50] in gconf [03:50] how do i get the actual repo line i'd plug in to get something. basically i wanna put FF 3b5 on gutsy using hardy repos, possible? [03:50] kindofabuzz: PAIN [03:50] thanks a LOT alex-weej [03:50] I really appreciate it [03:50] speaker219: np [03:51] does ASROCK SUPPOR UBUNTU [03:51] kindofabuzz big pain. Look up apt-pinning if you really wanna go that route [03:51] oh is it? [03:51] kindofabuzz: Or just wait a few weeks for Hardy to come out [03:51] prem_: i dont THIN SO [03:51] well i just want 3b5, alot of fixex since 3b4, and i wanna "install" it, not just run it from a folder [03:52] kindofabuzz: you have 3b4 on gutsy? [03:52] alex-weej, yeah [03:52] how? [03:52] alex-weej: well, I'll take a look into it a bit more, thanks for the help [03:52] it's in the repos [03:52] and why not lather, rinse, repeat? [03:52] oh ok [03:52] kindofabuzz: in backports? [03:52] dunno [03:52] i love natalie [03:52] but there lol [03:52] cafuego: I don't understand how to do what you suggested. I thought I did, but that didn't work. Can you explain how to boot with init=/bin/bash? [03:52] tgelter: no probs, good luck. WOL has always been a bit of a black art! [03:52] RAdams: im a smart bot [03:53] kindofabuzz: if it's there, rest assured 3b5 will be there soon [03:53] just wait [03:53] alex-weej: im a smart bot [03:53] i ned it now! =) [03:53] godfool: STFU [03:53] alex-weej: Is there something weird in the very idea that xhtml was a work of art and expensive possession. The man said, "that you can add "contrib non-free" to that little twenty-dollar check good, and frankly I don't mirror in miniature the gap between the various places to test them all the music, aged in the sense of horror. [03:53] Bloodbath coming beyond all compare [03:53] * b0x beats alex-weej [03:53] I have a 1GB USB Flash drive and am trying to copy a file to it. Ubuntu is telling me that it is out of space, but I see no files on it in Nautilus or in /media/disk. ANy ideas? [03:53] RAdams who are you? [03:53] someone with chops ban godfool [03:54] No hidden either [03:54] Kira will get him [03:54] RAdams: im a smart bot [03:54] nickrud: ? [03:54] RAdams wrong nick ;) [03:54] nickrud thanks :) [03:55] RAdams: You hit 'e' on the normal boot line in grub. Then remove 'quiet splash' and add 'init=/bin/bash' [03:55] cafuego: thank you :) [03:55] RAdams: That will boot right into a root shell (kinda like DOS). THEN... [03:56] hi i've actually got a question about using the sed command. I need to replace a whole lot of strings in multiple files in multiple directories. I've found sed 's/FINDSTRING/REPLACESTRING/g' but, The string that im trying to replace has the / character in it. How can I get around that? [03:56] RAdams: You need to mount / read-write, so you can edit fstab. 'mount -n -o remount,rw /'. Now edit fstab, adding noauto. Remoutn as read-only, 'mount -n o rmount,ro /' and reboot (just hit the reset switch) [03:56] I have a 1GB USB Flash drive and am trying to copy a file to it. Ubuntu is telling me that it is out of space, but I see no files on it in Nautilus or in /media/disk. ANy ideas? [03:57] will gutsy ever go to Gnome 2.22? [03:57] jordo2323 ls -a /media/disk, check for hidden files [03:57] kindofabuzz no [03:57] cafuego: thanks [03:57] well that sux [03:57] nickrud: I already did....nothing [03:57] kindofabuzz ubuntu is on the same release schedule as gnome, for a reason [03:57] yeah [03:57] nickrud: Can I format a USB disk in Ubuntu? [03:58] Hello all! [03:58] Hello all! [03:58] jordo2323 yes, cfdisk will do it: sudo cfdisk /dev/sd [03:58] I was just wondering what a good DE was for Ubuntu? [03:58] I'm using Hardy from an ubuntu minimal install. [03:58] delo [03:58] Should I just do ubuntu-desktop or what? I'm hoping for something different. [03:58] you there [03:59] nickrud: No permission to write? [03:59] is there a way to completely uninstall the graphic front end from xubuntu? [03:59] jthomas fluxbox, icewm, xubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop ... === _D0nets is now known as D0net1 [03:59] nickrud, hopefully something small. 160kb/s connection. =( [03:59] glbesudo apt-get --purge remove xubuntu-desktop [03:59] jordo2323 sudo cfdisk says no write ? [03:59] nickrud: yeah [03:59] nickrud: weird! [03:59] jthomas fluxbox (and don't you ever call 160 small, I ran debian unstable over 3k ;) [04:00] can I log vino connections(attempts)? [04:00] nickrud, I used to have a 700kb/s connection. it IS slow. [04:00] jthomas: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [04:00] Flannel, is that w/o all the ubuntu tweaks? [04:00] jthomas: No, sorry. I thought you were doing something else. [04:00] jordo2323 why it would be not writeable from root I don't know offhand, but it would explain why you can't write. [04:01] jthomas: Just install a DE. If you have an alternate CD, you can install from the stuff on the disk. [04:01] Flannel, I have a Gutsy cd. =P [04:01] I have a Keyboard Layout indicator and also SCIM running, and both seem to have their own settings. I don't want SCIM, how do I disable it? [04:01] hi [04:01] I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy./ [04:01] Going to install CNR, so maybe I should just go ubuntu-desktop. [04:01] any expert on CUPS installations? [04:01] jthomas if you need more hardy help, #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release, /j #ubuntu+1 . [04:01] jthomas: Depending on where you live, you could try contacting your LoCo team and seeing if they can't help with some media. And, you probably don't want CNR [04:02] thanks all. [04:02] nickrud: I had to go to a Windows box, format it and then bring it back :( [04:02] Flannel, I DO want CNR. === soulrider_ is now known as soulrider [04:02] flannel, wait until the redesigned cnr.com is out. =) [04:02] its beautiful. lol [04:02] Even if I right click on SCIM in notification area and exit SCIM it starts right back. [04:02] well, i guess im just going ubuntu-desktop, thanks all. its only a 400mb download. [04:03] naknomik try looking in system->prefs->sessions, see if it's set to restart in the middle tab [04:03] exit [04:03] quit [04:04] any guru on CUPS installation? [04:04] cafuego: that caused the machine to reboot itself... [04:04] Is there some way possible to find where in my user authentication for imap it's failing? The user itself is found, it's just that the authentication is not working [04:04] RAdams: what? booting with init=/bin/bash? [04:05] cafuego: yes [04:05] nickrud: nothing there. [04:05] RAdams: that's not right. not right at all. [04:05] cafuego: I changed "quiet" to "init=/bin/bash" and the machine just rebooted X__X [04:05] naknomik not sure then. Generally that's where gnome tracks stuff it wants to restart. [04:05] RAdams: Did you hit 'b' after editing that line? [04:06] I've tried two different alarm programs, and neither of them have worked properly. Every time I restart my computer, the programs don't autoload, therefore they don't notify me. How can I fix this? [04:06] cafuego: yes [04:06] AdrianStrays you can add them to system->prefs->session , first tab === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [04:07] #sp219 :D [04:08] cafuego: any suggestions? I can boot into Windows (that's what I'm in now), but that messed up fstab entry is preventing a linux boot [04:09] RAdams just editing /etc/fstab? You could use a live cd, or install the ext2 driver from fs-driver.org and edit it with notepad in windows [04:10] hi [04:10] hi all [04:11] 'allow, abdoreza [04:11] nickrud: I am irani [04:11] hey guys [04:11] if I upgrade to the new ubuntu beta [04:12] will I be able to upgrade to the final normally through the update manager when it's released?

[04:16] guess I need to learn the ps columns better [04:16] Ziroday - I have webdav up and running - but a good CalDav server will let my entire shop use one calenedar, instead of simply storing a published calendar - right? [04:17] A group subscription calendar is what I'm looking for. [04:17] jarrettgreen: not sure, as I said I just publish my calendar to webdav and then access it with phpicalendar [04:17] hmmm. I'll look up phpIcalendar [04:17] nickrud: thanks [04:17] jarrettgreen: you could use google calendar, or yahoo calendar [04:18] I've thoght of that.

But I don't know if that's the funcationalty I'm looking for. I'm really surprised at the lack of CalDAV implementation for *nix.

[04:49] and it keeps to the left and up [04:49] but wont go down or right [04:49] any ideas? [04:50] fade_: first thing I'd do is see if there's any software in the repositories for it [04:50] yeah tried joystick [04:50] the pack [04:50] no go ?

[04:50] hey guys, i can't get my tv outpu to work, Ati HD3650 DVI-to-HDMI dongle -- anybody have a hints [04:51] Hi, I'm having a strange issue. I did an apt-get install headers build-essential and a few other packaged. And during the apt-get it said something liek "may need to rerun lilo" is passing. But, to my surprise, when I booted grub can no longer find my kernel. [04:52] So I booted up a livecd, and once again I was surprised. I have no vmlinuz in /boot . Which my menu.lst is pointing to. [04:52] hey guys, i can't get my tv outpu to work, Ati HD3650 DVI-to-HDMI dongle -- anybody have a hints [04:52] This had to happen after the apt-get because I had restarted right before this. [04:52] jchroosted-> nothing in your /boot nor / ? [04:52] I have things in both, but no vmlinuz [04:53] that grub is pointing to [04:53] IndyGunFreak: This looks like its for setting up a new sound card: is this the page I should really be looking at? [04:53] hey guys, i can't get my tv outpu to work, Ati HD3650 DVI-to-HDMI dongle -- anybody have a hints [04:53] Im in a chroot right now.

[04:55] jchroosted-> can you paste what you have in /boot ? [04:55] kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic [04:55] whoops [04:55] root@bt:/# ls /boot [04:55] grub lost+found memtest86+.bin [04:55] IndyGunFreaK: I get stuck at sudo cp ~downloads/alsa* . === billisnice__ is now known as billisnice [04:55] Joesep1: you might want to wait for hardy [04:56] I was apt getting the packaged to build modules. headers, build-essential, and automake1.9 [04:56] that is all [04:56] It says the directory does not exist, do I need to create it, or is it part of another problem [04:56] IndyGunFreak: When is hardy coming out? [04:56] yes, you need to create it. [04:56] it had to get strange initram dependecies and such as well [04:56] jchroosted-> thats pretty odd.. [04:56] it shoudla told you that in a previous step. [04:56] Joesep1: 2 weeks [04:56] odd, its a disaster [04:56] jchroosted-> you are booted off of your liveCD now? [04:56] yes [04:56] im willing to reinstall or rebuild the kernel [04:57] how can i rename a single file using the command line? [04:57] manually or automatically [04:57] I just wonder if that is the only problem [04:57] IndyGunFreak: I've had this problem for like.... 2 months.... I think I'll wait 2 weeks.... I haven't switched from a previous version.... is it easy to do? [04:57] jchroosted-> and you expect your /boot to be same in liveCd as you have when you booted off of hard disk? [04:57] amenada, I mounted /dev/hda1 to /mnt/hda3/boot [04:57] so yes, I do [04:57] jchroosted-> without telling me the details i would not know..

[05:00] jchroosted-> i will stop because of your attitude..if you can only be honest of what you are saying [05:00] I am being honest.

If he's not sure about stuff, he;ll ask. Dont take it personally [05:05] And Ive already said twice, where I am. [05:05] Yet here we are.

Besides, those aren't used in the ubuntu boot process anyway [05:08] Cpudan80 everyone is a beginner in C at some point ;p [05:08] nickrud: I no longer have a kernel [05:08] jchroosted-> it does not, am guessing you are looking at the wrong partition [05:08] ltcabral: They yelled at me for asking something about a thread, and then came to the conclusion that I didnt know structs or points [05:08] pointers* [05:08] anyone got a min to help a noob? [05:08] Nevermind the fact that I use C every day [05:08] jchroosted-> can we do this differently? just boot off of liveCd and dont do any chroot ing [05:08] jchroosted no kernel in /boot at all? sudo apt-get install linux-generic , should pull in a kernel & other goodies [05:09] Cpudan80: oh well... maybe google should be always our first option :) [05:09] (tags cannot be changed) any help? please [05:09] if i download Ubuntu 7.10 and install it, will it be a simple update to 8.04 or will i need to do another download and new install of 8.04?

[05:20] nathan_:secondly: I'm not so sure you can simply share files with windows boxes.... That's what for example Samba is for [05:21] nathan_: have you shared files before with windows computers? [05:21] it asked for a p/w, i entered it, and it comes up w/ "sudo: restricted: command not found" [05:21] Yes... and I was using samba, but network shares as a frontend [05:21] It worked fine until today [05:21] #python [05:22] illDecree_: sudo restricted-manager ---- is that what you typed? [05:22] yep [05:22] nathan_: ah - I think you'll have to join a samba channel to ask for help [05:22] !samba | nathan__ [05:22] nathan__: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[05:24] nathan_: the only other way I suggest is you look for a standard config on the 'Net and copy it to your config file, and start over [05:24] when i try to drag and drop a file into /var/www/ i get the error You do not have permissions to write to this folder [05:24] is it just me or are kde themes really lighter than most gnome themes?

[05:31] hai [05:31] i've played w/live distros for years, and all were KDE, so i guess thats where it comes from [05:31] harushimo, your camera [05:31] !hardy | kadko [05:31] kadko: 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 [05:32] hai [05:32] harushimo: for myself, I simply use a cardreader.... [05:32] illDecree_: do this on a terminal [05:32] illDecree_: sudo apt-get install restricted-manager [05:32] ggg [05:33] tuxus: I agree [05:33] can i do that w/out an internet connection? [05:33] tuxus: I don't have one at the moment [05:33] I need some help (again). I have a tendency to leave the volume control really high, so when I turn it on, the boot noise is really loud. I'd like to make it so whenever I turn on my computer it starts the volume at a specific level. Someone gave me the code :amixer -c 0 cset numid=2 50% but it didn't work. Help? [05:33] illDecree_: make sure the disk is in [05:33] illDecree_: That one (hopefully) is on the disk [05:33] harushimo: plug the camera in, and in a terminal issue: dmesg [05:33] is the camera detected? [05:34] tuxus: dmesg what? [05:34] simply type "dmesg" in a terminal after you plug the cam in [05:34] I did [05:34] k, i got an error... im guessing that when it says "E: Couldn't find package" it is refering to "E:" as a cd drive like MS would? [05:34] illDecree_: It might be called hardware drivers in the advanced thing [05:34] how do I get one ubuntu installation to reinstall its version of grub over another ubuntu installation on a separate partition of the same machine? [05:34] send my email at .... tije.tije@yahoo.co.id [05:35] harushimo: in the output, do you see anything usb-related to your cam? [05:35] anyone have any experience with restarting an upstart script from inside a cron-triggered bash script? [05:35] Anyone else here with a Compaq R4000 that is a big a pain in the but to get working with Linux? From wireless, to random keyboard issues, to fan to overheating? [05:35] illDecree_: must not be on the disk [05:35] i just popped in the disk, gonna try it again [05:35] brb [05:35] hai byan [05:35] !ops titis_semampir is annoying [05:36] cpudan80_: same error [05:36] !pastebin [05:36] illDecree_: Go back into the system thing and look for hardware drivers [05:36] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:36] k [05:36] illDecree_: Still under the advanced tab [05:36] mad.... rahmad ? [05:37] titis_semampir please stop [05:37] harushimo: what's the url? [05:37] hai..... Mr.keuner,.... i'm indonesian ?...how about you [05:37] nickrud: ^^ [05:37] in two seconds [05:37] I'm typing it right now [05:37] Cpudan80_: all i have in the advanced tab of System settings is: disk and file systems, system services, login manager, windows apps, audio encoding, KDE resources, service manager, and session manager [05:38] nickrud please go head ?!!!! stop from here [05:38] titis_semampir #ubuntu-id is the indonesian channel, you might try that one [05:38] illDecree_: Dont know what to tell you [05:38] tuxus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62992/ [05:39] illDecree_: You really need the restricted driver thing [05:39] nickrud ...what do you want ? !!! [05:39] titis_semampir this is a support channel, not for general chatting [05:39] ........ :-/ i kinda figured.... [05:40] titis_semampir you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:40] well man, i really, REALLY appreciate your help!!! [05:40] harushimo: cool, so it's detected at least. Now read your fstab... terminal and enter cat /etc/fstab I recommend you make the terminal full-screen [05:41] illDecree_: Once you get that thing, you should be able to easily enable the 3rd party drivers [05:41] Anyone else with a fan/heat problem on their laptop that could help here? [05:42] illDecree_: If you start back over with regular ubuntu you'll prob have better luck --- gnome is nice --- you'll get used to it :-) [05:42] nickrud, hello.brother [05:42] icesword good evening! [05:42] alright, so can ya give me a basic rundown on it? i enable 3rd party drivers, identify my chipset, get the driver, and go from there, right? how would i identify my chipset? [05:42] /msg ubotu etiquette [05:43] illDecree_: All you do is check a box - it's that easy ;-) [05:43] thats nice!!! alright [05:44] illDecree_: It asks you like "You have an to use the restricted driver - check this box" [05:44] awesome!!!! [05:44] And I am sorry if you actually have an ati mobility radeon [05:44] haha [05:44] tuxus:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62993/ [05:44] actually... [05:44] haha [05:44] Which have the worst *nix support of any card out there practically [05:44] * nickrud has mobility radeon ;( [05:44] you would laugh at me if i told you what im actually running this on... [05:45] * Extravert just bought an Nvidia 9600 GT [05:45] illDecree_: Oh really? [05:46] Cpudan80_: check PM [05:46] I saw it [05:46] dont laugh!!! [05:46] haha === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [05:47] i bought it from a friend for $75, put 2 gigs ram in it, and decided it would be good for learning linux [05:47] Hello [05:47] how about any xpress200 owners out there that have enabled compiz and would like to offer a how to? [05:47] harushim: don't help too much... what is the make/model of your camera? [05:47] * cdecarlo has a mobility radeon with an even worse Dell 5100 wrapped around it [05:47] illDecree_: That's not so bad [05:47] Is it possible to start a GUI in a PXE-boot environment? [05:47] illDecree_: That thing has specs similar to my laptop [05:47] My processor is better though [05:48] really? [05:48] And I've got a bigger HDD [05:48] icechunk: elaborate.... [05:48] illDecree_: Yeah, T42 -- 1.7 GHz M w/ 1 GB RAM & 70 GB HDD [05:48] im not too upset w/it, 2 gigs ram really sets it off, but i am not happy w/the fact that i cannot seem to find a CPU upgrade for it === pazia2 is now known as rya4ND__ [05:48] compaqr4000 wait for hardy, you will have zero issues [05:49] nickrud, I'm in hardy [05:49] illDecree_: The 40 GB HD is a bit small [05:49] nickrud: that's quite the statement [05:49] tuxus: for example, I would like to have a terminal that grabs a boot image from the Ubuntu server and boots into a GUI- where users could type in a username and password and use it. They wouldn't have a clue that an OS wasn't installed at all. [05:49] nickrud: would you like another foot? lol [05:49] evening all.... [05:49] compaqr4000 system->admin->restricted drivers enable it and reboot. I've had zero problems with my express 200 and compiz ;p === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [05:49] nickrud, it worked in 7.10......now, restricted drivers just don't work [05:49] Cpudan: yeah, the HDD is getting an upgrade soon, at least is SATA though... [05:50] icechunk: that's been around for a loooooong time ..... LTSP.... [05:50] tuxus, that was my initial understanding [05:50] In fact, I setup a test environment using virtual machines [05:50] compaqr4000 hrm. What happens, 'don't work' is zero use in troubleshooting. [05:50] Can't get the RAM on my g/f's laptop to cooperate [05:50] I need some help (again). I have a tendency to leave the volume control really high, so when I turn it on, the boot noise is really loud. I'd like to make it so whenever I turn on my computer it starts the volume at a specific level. Someone gave me the code :amixer -c 0 cset numid=2 50% but it didn't work. Help? [05:50] icechunk: I guess I'm not understanding the prob? [05:51] AdrianStrays did you add that to /etc/rc.local ? [05:51] nickrud, when selecting System...Administration....Hardware Drivers nothing happens at all. [05:51] nickrud, I click and that is it. [05:51] compaqr4000 nothing happens at all... you mean no window opens? [05:51] tuxus: Let me elaborate further :P When I boot my PXE client, it finds everything fine and boots into a terminal. It has a prompt: (initramfs). And I can type in "Linux" commands [05:51] but only certain commands [05:51] nickrud, I was told to try it in terminal first, and if it worked, then to add it to /etc/rc.local [05:52] compaqr4000 anyway, I saw something about that on #ubuntu+1 , ask there [05:52] nickrud, nope, nothing [05:52] icechunk: sounds like your "clients" are not yet added to the LTSP server? [05:52] nickrud, I tried and that is why I'm here [05:52] oh [05:52] compaqr4000 no hardy answers here until release, sorry [05:53] tuxus, I haven't read anything about that at all while doing the tutorials (I've been reading through 3) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto [05:53] nickrud, ok, thanks. [05:53] icechunk: Ubuntu server edition 7.10 makes an LTSP setup really easy [05:53] nickrud, I was told to try it in terminal first, and if it worked, then to add it to /etc/rc.local [05:53] AdrianStrays refreshing my amixer memory, a sec [05:54] tuxus: Correct. to clarify, I'm using Ubuntu 7 i386 Server [05:55] Hello, how do I allow X user to be able to write in /var/www/test without sudo access? [05:55] icechunk: I'd have to research that a bit further as well. [05:55] Is there a way to install ubuntu o [05:56] On eeepc, using a mem card [05:56] ? [05:56] LainIwakura: sudo chmod a+rw /var/www/test [05:56] tuxus, Thanks. With the info you gave me, I'll see what I can do as well [05:56] LainIwakura: you add that user to the group that owns /var/www/test and make sure that it has group write permission [05:56] zcat[1]: Thank you [05:56] crdlb: How would I do that? [05:56] AdrianStrays try amixer sset Master 10% [05:57] Nickrud, WOW it worked! Thanks, I've been waiting for that for weeks [05:58] Nickrud, okay, hold on let me see if I can add it [05:58] icechunk: read this entire thread: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2007-October/002300.html [05:58] icechunk: looks like a solution has been found? [05:58] Thanks *reading* [05:58] zcat[1]: Is it safe if I do that to a /var/www/test folder? This is viewable on the web but it only contains a stat.html file I would like to update periodically. Thanks. [05:59] AdrianStrays rc.local should set it before the login screen starts, but let me know if it doesn't [05:59] nickrud, should it look like this: [05:59] #!/bin/sh -e [05:59] # [05:59] # rc.local [05:59] # [05:59] # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. [05:59] AdrianStrays: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:00] LainIwakura: nobody on the web will be able to write to it, but any user on your computer will ... the other way to do this might be 'sudo chown user /var/www/test' then only that user will have access [06:00] AdrianStrays just put that one line above exit 0 [06:00] zcat[1]: Okay great. Thanks for your help. [06:01] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [06:03] AdrianStrays you should have voice again [06:03] Nickrud, sorry [06:03] Nickrud, I'll restart and get back to you [06:04] someone just hacked my linux website (not fully developed), and put some crazy music on it, please someone listen to it and tell me what language it is.: http://www.cygnitec.com [06:05] cchild: this is a support channel, strictly for ubuntu support not for deciphering songs [06:06] cchild, why, with all that just happened to you, do you want to know THAT kind of information? [06:06] Nickrud, it worked! Thank you soo much [06:07] icechunk, i figured why not go to a channel with users from all over the world and see if someone recongnizes the language [06:07] cchild, ahahahah [06:07] PWNED. [06:07] !ubuntu | cchild [06:07] cchild: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [06:09] is there a postnuke, joomla channel [06:09] cchild, here's your offending URL: http://classyt.com/_notes/Xjalanan.swf [06:10] cchild: Questions should be appended with a question mark. [06:10] bullgard4: stop being petty? [06:11] thanks icechunk [06:11] cchild, http://www.jalanan.org/ It might be related to that [06:13] ahah, icechunk, i think this may be it. thanks, though i know this was not related my ubuntu system support, but i figure i can count a the knowledge of the folks here. [06:13] lol [06:14] Okay, I have another problem. In openoffice.org the spell check does not catch spelling errors, at all. Even when I purposefully misspell words. Help? === icesword is now known as kekexili [06:14] cchild, that link seems to be related to a porn site in some manner. [06:14] hi [06:14] heeelp [06:14] my tray icons disappeared [06:14] now I can't send anything to the tray [06:14] :S [06:14] how do you mean [06:15] Anza: is the notification applet in the panel anywhere? [06:15] what notification applet? [06:15] is there a content manager channel [06:15] ? [06:16] Enter text here... [06:16] vb;nl [06:16] Not sure. What kind of content are you looking to manage? [06:16] if I click on the X of a program, for example Nicotine, it gives me the option to send to tray or close, and if I say send to tray it just disappears [06:16] 062706440633064406270645 06390644064a06430645 [06:16] welcome8 is that intentional? [06:16] I think I deleted it by mistake but dunno how to put them back [06:16] Does anybody here have experience with Postfix, Sasl, SMTP, and Mysql? Regardless of what I do, it doesn't act as if it's using mysql [06:16] Anza try right clicking the panel, and adding the notification area back [06:16] Anza: right-click on the panel, select 'add to panel', go to 'utilities', select 'notification area', then click 'add' [06:16] icechunk, clearly i wont be using joomla, because it has been compromised. postnuke channel [06:17] cchild, lol [06:18] tenpaiyomi-> what do you mean act as if its not using mysql? is it supposed to? do you know what data is supposed to be stored on mysql? [06:18] cchild, it appears that whoever hacked your site has hacked other sites as well [06:18] thank you! it worked [06:18] but I ended doing it because I was wondering why the newest amsn version doesnt show any icon [06:18] Oh wait. I have a new problem. I tried to make it so my clock syncronizes with the internet time servers. It said I had to intstall Ntp or something. In the process it told me that "the configuration file was modified by you or by a script). An updated version is shipped in this package. If you want to keep your current version say 'keep'. Yadayadayada what do I do? [06:19] icechunk cchild this isn't exactly direct ubuntu support, could you take it to offtopic please [06:19] #sp219 :D [06:19] hello [06:19] amenado: I have postfix setup to with the users and domains stored in a mysql database, which it uses for authentication. I have Sasl setup to where (from what I understand with my configurations) it's supposed to be using mysql, however no matter -what- I do, the authentication fails. [06:19] there is just a little white box instead the icon [06:19] AdrianStrays use the new one [06:19] nickrud, sure [06:19] does anybody knows why? or how to fix it? [06:19] Nickrud, thanks [06:19] clearly the server which is linux has nothing to do with it. The joomla program which is written in php was clearly not coded for security [06:19] I want to look at the source code for a package but have never really messed around with source debs. Is there a tutorial or something I can look at? [06:19] cchild, are you getting my messages? [06:20] !packaging | levander this should get you started [06:20] levander this should get you started: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [06:20] tenpaiyomi-> you know which database that postfix uses right? can you manually query it and see if the data is there? off course using the correct account to access mysql [06:20] icechunk, subtle message or actual? [06:20] amenado: I know which database it is using. I am using that same database and user schema for the IMAP authentication [06:21] cchild: I have no clue. Obviously you haven't gotten them though. Don't worry about it. [06:21] icechunk if you were pming, cchild needs to register. Or, you could both just join #icechunk ;) [06:22] tenpaiyomi-> does postfix have a config file to indicate it has to use mysql? or pam module? or /etc/passwd ? [06:22] http://wildwobby.myminicity.com/ [06:22] Help me! [06:22] how do i install pulse audio before hardy releases? [06:22] nickrud: What about some kind of doc.'s that describe Ubuntu's guidelines for releasing security and other updates? I've always wondered how the developers decide what to release via updates and what to release just when the next distribution comes out. [06:22] amenado: within the /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf I have the information as per the ubuntu wiki [06:22] <[chr0n0s]> any idea why i am getting these messages [ 394.445511] ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } [06:22] <[chr0n0s]> [ 394.445624] ata1.00: error: { UNC } . detailed output at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62995/ [06:22] does anyone have a command to figure out the driver required for my graphics? [06:23] http://wildwobby.myminicity.com/ [06:23] levander not that I've seen. I do know that generally it's serious bug fixes and security [06:23] wildwobby please don't advertise here [06:23] illDecree_; lspci will tell you which card you have and you can go from there. [06:23] the command to register is something linke "/msg nickserv register mypassword"? [06:23] nickrud: Yeah, it's probably just that general and doesn't need a guide. [06:23] cchild: that's it without the quotes [06:23] tenpaiyomi-> i have not installed it myself, however, what does the instructions says, or the config should be what type of authentication? [06:24] illDecree_ lspci | grep -i vga will tell you your graphics card/chip [06:24] hello,everyone [06:24] hi, trying to figure out if this is a bug: http://ruphus.com/stash/mynavthingieisborken.png when i updated recently that nav thing got smaller (no longer legible). but i don't know if i've just configured it wrong or there's a bug [06:24] hello kongove [06:24] nickrud: i tried that.... it doesn't seem to come up.... not sure why [06:25] Do you use eva? [06:25] dammit!!! [06:25] illDecree_ are you sure you're typing it correctly? try copy and paste -> lspci | grep -i vga <-- [06:25] nvm... brb [06:25] nickrud; that sure narrows it down.. i should makes notes of the wonderful uses of grep [06:26] ok that last one worked... [06:26] but, it doesn't tell me anything more than i already knew... [06:26] illDecree_ so, what was it? [06:26] amenado: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto#head-3f67bf992b535d41df608093741c2445e4ed1d1f [06:26] Starnestommy, i did the command and it brough a window with the password i typed in: " register mypassword" where do i go from here? [06:26] nickrud: honestly, im a noob, and am having one hell of a time getting the graphics working... [06:26] :I think eva's not good working these days [06:26] it comes up w/ " unichrome pro IGP rev 01 " [06:27] Buffer I/O error on device sdc4, logical block 128368 attempt to access beyond end of device [06:27] illDecree_ are you getting any graphics? And it's really hard to give advice without info ... oh, that piece of ... [06:27] * cafuego thinks that would be filed under "not good" [06:27] anyone know which package has the /lib/firmware stuff in it? I accidently deleted mine :*) [06:27] cchild: you may need to do it again [06:27] yeah, its not a greap laptop... its just one i decided to try to learn linux on [06:28] hey every one [06:28] Starnestommy, from the new window or this one? [06:28] cafuego, No, that doesn't sound very good. Does it happen often? [06:28] cchild: try that oen [06:28] *one [06:28] yeah, im getting graphics in 4:3, but its widescreen... im getting "VESA" for the graphics, and "Plug n play" for the monitor... [06:28] Starnestommy, how would i log in? [06:28] illDecree_ does it have a chip type listed in that vga line? [06:29] no [06:29] tenpaiyomi-> reading that link and just looking for authentication, you have modified this /etc/courier/authmysqlrc ? [06:29] cchild: I found the problem. Someone else already registered your current nick [06:29] Starnestommy, it was me but i forgot the pwd [06:29] tenpaiyomi-> or is it the SMTP authentication you are using? [06:29] all i get from begining to end is " 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA technologies, Inc. Unichrome pro IGP (rev 01) [06:30] cchild: you could use a different nick or ask a freenode staff member in #freenode to reset it [06:30] illDecree_ ok, I think you need the xserver-xorg-video-unichrome package. And it's only available from the net [06:30] amendo: It's SMTP authentication I am trying to use. [06:30] thundr3: Just started happening on boot with a new kernel; that's a swap partition btw. I have had a few crashes and I was blaming the sil680 pata card I had... but perhaps I need to blame the disk. [06:30] Starnestommy, how would i log in, i may remember the pwd [06:30] cchild: /msg nickserv identify password [06:31] /msg nickserv identify l13579 [06:31] tenpaiyomi-> it is near the very end, you have both those files? smtpd.conf and /etc/postfix/main.cf ? [06:31] oops [06:31] nickrud: thats the prob... i have no net connection... the modem isn't installed either, niether is the wifi... and the 10/100 is broken [06:31] h4x! [06:31] crap [06:31] does this mean im screwed? [06:31] cchild: without the space before the / [06:31] illDecree_ or it may be the xserver-xorg-video-via [06:31] amenado: Yes [06:31] cchild: and also, /msg nickserv help set password [06:32] illDecree_ then you need to concentrate on wifi. And I"m pretty clueless about wireless. What does lspci | grep -i wlan say? [06:32] tenpaiyomi-> exact options for sender and recepient per that link? [06:32] * nickrud thinks cafuego has ulterior designs [06:32] cafuego, that sounds like it might be the case, but I'm really not knowledgeable enough to really troubleshoot further. I'm sure someone else in here has more expertise than I do. === macd_ is now known as macd [06:33] that showed up in just LSPCI.... i get "broadcom BCM4318 airforce one 54g rev 2 [06:33] amenado: Those options, as well as about 10 different configuration types. I've been at this for about 6 hours now [06:33] thundr3: oh, I expect i do, just pasted it to complain, really. [06:33] Hi Im back [06:33] i tried like hell to get NDISWRAPPER working.... its not in the machine, or the disk, and when i tried to d/l it and install it, i kept getting errors... [06:34] good morning [06:34]  Starnestommy, am just going to register a new id [06:34] thundr3: The other partition on that disk is part of a raid 95) array so i need to take it out, check the whole disk, then re-add it. Just don't know that i can be bothered today. [06:34] oyy... forgot to compile the linux client with the Ubuntu GUI [06:34] :NDISWRAPPER is not working with my box too:) [06:35] cafuego, in that case, sorry to hear your disk or card may or may not be failing :) [06:35] tuxus: It's working 100% correctly now. :D [06:35] Thanks! [06:35] Its been a journey getting ubuntu to work but I have a network and 3d graphics and it only took a month. [06:35] my plan, basically was to mess around w/this version until the new one comes out in two weeks, but so far, i have managed to get NOTHING working...... [06:35] Hi I have a question, When i tried installing Xubuntu on my system I always get an error saying something like BIOS bug APIO not connected or something [06:35] u think im better off waiting to see what the new version brings? [06:36] Does anyone know how to fix that? [06:36] doesn't matter... i just reinstalled all the packages i had installed that had "linux-modules" and "linux-image"... [06:36] tenpaiyomi-> thats fairly normal setting up a complicated mail server and database authentications..takes a while to get setup [06:36] amenado: I got about 90% of the configuration done in roughly 30 minutes. The other 5 1/2 hours have been trying to get mysql SMTP authentication working [06:36] illDecree_ yeah, it's gonna be hard to get that running without the 10/100 working. Thats how I set up my laptop wireless, bootstrap with wired [06:36] thundr3: heh - it 's ok. Pretty old 80GB disk.. and I have a handful of spares here. [06:36] This is so frustrating lol and I'm running out of CD-R discs dangit [06:37] vikdaking: what's the exact error message? [06:37] the prob is, if i put in a 10/100 pc card, im gonna have the same thing to deal w/ getting that card working... ya know?? [06:38] Uhh idk sorry it goes by to fast [06:38] in the console? do youhave X installed at all? [06:38] tenpaiyomi-> i find it odd that pam module is not mentioned on that link.. now adays most secure systems uses pam modules, and this link does not make a mention of it.. [06:38] illDecree_ no, wired is simple, nearly every card driver is already in the kernel [06:38] No [06:38] it's a bit tricky trying to work out what the problem is if you don't have the error message.... [06:38] I am just trying to install it for the first time [06:38] amenado: I'm going through one right now which is making mention of pam [06:38] so press shift + pgup to see what the error messages are [06:39] and i did the Memtest just fine and when i went into check for CD errors it said i had 1 error. But i ran the installation anyways [06:39] oh ok thanks daymoh [06:39] even a PC card nic? [06:39] Ill try that and if no luck ill come back [06:39] tenpaiyomi-> that link you provided to me didnt seem to indicate pam is mentioned at all.. [06:40] illDecree_ oh, pccard. hm. Nothing like trying :) [06:40] tenpaiyomi-> you have a different link you are following? [06:40] amenado: http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/postfix [06:40] true... [06:40] oh well... im gonna give it a rest for the night... [06:41] thanks for the help! [06:41] illDecree_ but you're gonna run into similar issues with any ubuntu install, wireless anyway [06:41] tenpaiyomi-> but is that tied in to that wiki tutorial you pasted earlier? [06:41] amenado: Not at all [06:41] illDecree_ and especially with that one since you need to get the firmware for it from somewhere, probably the net [06:41] :maybe you should search your graphic card manufacturer's page for a driver,compile and install that [06:41] yeah.... if i can get the modem and graphics fixed, i would have nothing else to work on :-D [06:41] so, wifi would be the next project [06:42] tenpaiyomi-> okay, so this other link you have that mentions pam, you already have implimented or still deciding if you should or not? [06:43] :I mean use your current working box to download it,and transfer that to your ubuntu machine [06:44] yeah, thats what i have been trying, just transfering everything from the XP box to the linux box w/a flashdrive [06:44] amenado: Well, I read a bit past that to the postfix 2.x version and smtp auth with sasl. The only problem is that when I telnet into localhost and issue a ehlo command, the available auths are all default (250-AUTH=PLAIN NTLM LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5) The only ones I have configured are sql plain and login. It acts as if it's not even reading the conf file [06:45] I am noob to linux and have a question. [06:46] how would i start a process in the background, so even if i closed the terminal, it would continue to run? like the "run an application" applet for gnome-panel except in a terminal [06:46] salt, use "screen" [06:46] salt: cron [06:46] salt2: command & [06:46] hello every [06:46] salt2: stick a '&' at the end [06:46] salt2: like, "xeyes&" [06:46] hello everyone [06:47] i am a beginner, and i do have some silly questions to ask [06:47] lukehiker: that's okay [06:47] is here anyone free ? [06:47] of course [06:47] thank you [06:47] depending on your question :P [06:47] i tried that. what i did was open gnome-terminal and type compiz & . it worked, but when i closed out the terminal, it stopped [06:47] This entire server is free. [06:47] all right [06:48] are there any apps to covert wma to mp3 [06:48] how to become a super user? [06:48] sudo [06:48] sudo su? [06:48] sudo -i? [06:48] sudo -s [06:48] it really works [06:48] or just su [06:48] ok, let me tell you more [06:48] tenpaiyomi-> dont know if you have to launch postfix and smtp with special options for it to use sasl ..sorry this is much much deeper than what i have done before [06:48] lukehiker:what distro of linux are you using? [06:49] amenado: Alright, well, thank you for your help [06:49] i am installing a software, and it promotes that i should become a root first [06:49] lukehiker: run 'sudo program' [06:49] where 'program' is the program's name [06:49] * pedrosanta thinks Ubuntu is so so cool! [06:49] it:-( === salt2 is now known as speaker219 [06:50] ok, let me try it first [06:50] thanks everyone! [06:50] NullName, maybe ubuntu? [06:50] ;) [06:50] bye lukehiker [06:50] lukehiker: You are usually asked to create a super user password [06:50] when you installing [06:50] tenpaiyomi-> anyhow, id clue in myself to pam related topic there, pam-mysql plugin and such..activate a very verbose logging to on your postfix [06:50] with ubuntu your superuser password is the same as your normal user. [06:52] NullName [06:52] what up? [06:52] I know how to become a super user [06:52] JohnM: LOL sorry I thought I was in another channel..hahah that was a really dumb question. [06:52] but the program asked me to log on as a super user [06:52] amenado: pam-mysql is for postfix 1.x. postfix 2.x and libsasl2 have sql support. The only problem is I just can't get it to actually USE it [06:52] is it the same thing? [06:53] errr, does anyone have any idea why if I set net.ipv6.bindv6only=1 apache ceases to function on v4 at all [06:53] lukehiker: using sudo is basically the same thing [06:53] you are only binding to ipv6 addresses I assume... [06:53] Symmetria: just a guess, but I would thing "bindv6only" means that it will only bind to ipv6 addresses [06:53] lukehiker: Don't worry about logging in as the superuser ever [06:53] Symmetria: because that says 'bind v6 only' with the word 'only' in it [06:54] but how to? [06:54] lukehiker: Just use sudo [06:54] errr miyako that is supposed to ensure that v4 cant communicate with v6 sockets [06:54] its not supposed to mean that v4 stops working :p [06:54] tenpaiyomi-> what is your pwcheck_method: ? [06:54] amenado: pwcheck_method: auxprop [06:54] i just want to log on as a super user temporarily [06:54] Symmetria: well, I did say it was just a guess, I've no idea really, never done much with ipv6 [06:54] :) [06:55] * Symmetria goes looking [06:55] lukehiker: I think once that I added a root account with ubuntu...but it messed things up [06:55] lukehiker: sudo -i will give you a login shell as root [06:55] tenpaiyomi-> dont know if this should be pwcheck_method: saslauthd per the http://www.starbridge.org/spip/spip.php?article1 [06:55] ok, thank you === the is now known as thejiji [06:56] thing is binding ALL v4 to the v6 sockets for some reason its wierd [06:56] you know, i install the software in the terminal shell, but when asked to click the I Agree button, it do not appears [06:56] i could not find the button === kekexili is now known as icesword [06:57] lukehiker: gui apps don't play well with sudo sometimes, you might try launching it with gtksudo or gnomesu or kdesu if you're using kde [06:57] i am using ubuntu [06:58] aha, there we go [06:58] are driver releases from ATI and Nvidia generally pretty far apart? Or do they release new drivers relatively frequently? [06:58] does anyone use ANSYS? [06:58] amenado: no change. And it still shows every single auth option, even though I only have 3 enabled. [06:59] root@virtsys:/etc/apache2# netstat -na |grep -c ESTAB [06:59] 374 [06:59] :) [06:59] much better [06:59] Randocal: generally beta drivers every 3 or 4 months, and then stable releases ever 4 to 6 months, sometimes sooner; but that's for nvidia's releases, ubuntu seems to be really slow about getting the newest drivers in the repositories [07:00] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [07:00] I used Envy to put in ATI drivers on my system, and it seemed to go well [07:00] any advice for a tv tuner? [07:00] !envy [07:00] envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [07:00] Just kinda curious how long those drivers are going to be "current" === michael__ is now known as M_dugger [07:00] How do I burn an .iso? [07:00] Randocal: It's usually better to use the Restricted Drivers manager, which leverages Ubuntu's package system to keep your drivers current. [07:01] timsandtoms: Use the CD burner, but choose to burn to a file rather than a disk. [07:01] I couldn't get compiz working with the version that was in the repositories [07:01] Randocal, which card you using? [07:01] timsandtoms: Unless you mean you have an ISO and you want to burn it to a CD, in which case you right click and select "Open with CD/DVD Creator". [07:01] RyanPrior: Thanks... I actually just realized I could right click it >.> Haha, I remember before I had to come here, and as I didn't remember what was told... I figured I needed help again =] [07:01] Keep in mind that a big cluster-frak between non-repository nvidia drivers, the restricted manager, and failsafe X is what made me switch away from ubuntu, so I strongly don't recommend installing non-repository drivers under ubuntu [07:01] X1600 Pro [07:02] timsandtoms: We'll tell you as many times as you need. =D [07:02] RyanPrior: ;) I bet you'll regret saying that, but thanks =] [07:02] So here is my problem. Kalarm didn't start automatically on login, so I added it to the start up list. The only problem is that it opens the window, rather than just starting it up in the tray. How can I change it so it just starts in the tray, like the network manager, rather than as the physical window [07:02] miyako: Which OS are you using now? [07:02] lukehiker: slackware [07:03] Am I really heading down an ugly path by using Envy to shoehorn newer drivers in? Should I reverse what i've done with Envy and just use the repository drivers? [07:03] another linux distribution? [07:03] lukehiker: yeah [07:03] AdrianStrays: read the man page and figure out which option will make it start in the background. [07:03] how do i make it not show all my mounts on my desktop [07:03] i even moved it out of the /media directory [07:03] what do you usually use it do? [07:03] Intangir: You use gconf-editor. [07:03] and it sstill showing it [07:04] RyanPrior: then look where? [07:04] RyanPrior, huh? [07:04] miyako: what do you usually use slackware to do? [07:04] Intangir: Apps -> Nautilus -> Desktop -> volumes_visible [07:04] RyanPrior: k thx [07:05] AdrianStrays: There ought to be a flag that tells the program to start it the background, and it will be documented in the man pages. [07:05] lukehiker: just normal stuff I suppose, irc, im, web, email, movies, games, code [07:05] that's cool [07:05] Radocal: ATI sucks, the only way I got any of their stuff to work was by using the open source driver [07:05] Ryan prior, where are they located? [07:06] AdrianStrays: There's a convenient program for viewing them called "man", which searches for them and displays them. Just open a terminal and type "man kalarm" (without the quotes) [07:06] AdrianStrays: You can then use the up & down keys to scroll, and q to quit back to the terminal. [07:06] Anyone have luck with tv tuners in linux? IF so what do you recommend? [07:07] I'm pretty new to all this, just recently moved from WinXP. Do the open source drivers give pretty good performance? As well, how would I go about installing them? [07:07] M_dugger: Hauppage WinTV cards are well supported (dispite their name) [07:07] M_dugger: you might want to check the MythTV forums, lots of people who use Linux with TV tuners post there. [07:07] Haha, that's what I've read elsewhere. [07:07] I had a geforce fx5700 in this PC, but it's shared between 3 users, and with compiz enabled, we were getting "blank" login screens when switching from one user to another. [07:07] SO i swapped in this ATI card [07:08] Randocal: Most of the time drivers are pre-installed and you have nothing to do. In the case of non-free drivers (like the proprietary ones for Nvidia cards), there is a Restricted Drivers Manager which finds and installs the correct driver for you. [07:08] Rando: They are installed automatically when you install Ubuntu, or should be. It's enabling the ATI ones that's hard. To do it just disable the restricted ones [07:09] Randocal: The open source drivers for graphics cards do not give good performance, but some of them provide some acceleration on some cards. === andy3 is now known as xtknight [07:09] Randocal, that's because X doesn't like loading 2 instances at the same time. Mine at home has no trouble but it varies. In general nVidia is way better [07:09] RyanPrior: So the open source driver is simply the default driver that is installed and running before I selected to install the restricted driver. [07:10] RyanPrior, none of these options seem to be the one I'm looking for. The only one that is close is "display system tray icon" [07:10] yes [07:10] Randocal: either it's the open source driver, or it's no driver, before you install the proprietary one. [07:10] it's the open source [07:10] Randocal: The proprietary drivers are unfortunately required for gaming and decent 3D acceleration ATM. [07:11] AdrianStrays: I would look myself, but I don't have any KDE apps. [07:11] I would like to have compiz enabled, and have the ability to switch between users without hitting that blank window bug, I've been happy with Nvidia for a long while (as a WinXP user) and wouldn't mind staying with them, but their driver was giving me troubles [07:11] yes, that's why I prefer nvidia because they support linux. What sort of FPS do you get running GLXGEARS on the restricted vs. open source? [07:12] M_dugger ati does now to but its kinda new [07:12] where do i go to set the short cut to make the window roll up to the title bar? [07:12] M_dugger when amd bought it they promised better linux support [07:12] when it comes to linux video card support, you can't beat intel [07:12] Are you guys familiar with this blank login page bug that I"m describing? Is that something that is prone to only a few specific Nvidia cards? [07:12] their cards are kinda crappy, but are plenty for running compiz and older games [07:12] !pastebin [07:12] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:13] miyako to bad intels suck [07:13] hello ! i have a problem : the first time I press the shutdown shortcut, the screen freezes and the window opens with a delay of 15-20 seconds ! any idea on how to fix this? [07:13] I know that as well, they kinda shuffled their feet for awhile and a $50 purchase of an nvidia one was so much easier [07:13] Rando, were u using the restricted when this bug happened? [07:13] how is ATI's support now? [07:13] M_dugger: yes, i was [07:14] M_dugge my 9200 oss drivers rock [07:14] AdrianStrays: I found the man page and looked at it, it really looks like the flag which makes it start in the background isn't documented. [07:14] hello [07:14] ga === undefined is now known as Idanbd [07:14] hello :P [07:14] I'm not sure then, one way would be to set up something to kill compiz on one user before logging out. I'm not expert but search google for it and you will find tons of info [07:14] RyanPrior, thanks for looking that up. Do you have any idea what I should do then? Is there another channel I might be able to check? [07:15] I have an issue with Hardy Beta [07:15] I went directly from whatever Ubuntu installed with to the restricted drivers. With the "default" driver, I wasn't even able to select the native resolution of my LCD if I recall correctly. [07:15] M_dugge the command compiz-replace would do the trick there [07:15] AdrianStrays: You could check in a KDE channel, or in #kubuntu [07:15] M_dugge swap it out back to 2d [07:16] Always disabling compiz before logging out isn't a very good option for me, it will very frequently be forgotten, and the other 2 users are relatively novice, so the extra steps won't go over well. [07:16] This didn't happen in Gutsy: after restarting, when trying to switch keyboard layout (from USA to Isr) the keyboard binding just don't work. I have to go into the keyboard layout preferences each time and re-check the binding options [07:16] Randoca you add the script on logout [07:16] Randoca automate it [07:17] note that the binding are checked, but i have to re-check them [07:17] any ideas? [07:17] Randocal: Compiz is screwy with my system as well, so I use compositing Metacity instead. Perhaps that would work for you? [07:17] Randoca you can also not use compiz lol [07:18] I've never heard/read anything about compisiting metacity, how similar are the effects? [07:18] Yeah, disabling compiz is an option, but as a new convert to Linux, the "wow factor" of compiz is pretty nice [07:18] yes, compiz is screwy. The idea is that you automate the logout script and put it in effect for everything. Which nvidia card? [07:18] Randoca it gets old [07:19] compiz could use some anti-aliasing too :/ [07:19] Randocal: You get previews of windows in alt+tab, window drop shadows, fade in/out on minimize, that's about it. [07:19] Randoca being im running a 128gb card wile runs it well can lag if i tax on other 3d apps [07:19] Randoca so u turn mine off [07:19] i [07:19] anyone knows anything about my issue above? [07:19] anyone can lead me to how i can boot an iso image from a flash drive [07:19] mb [07:19] ? [07:19] lol [07:19] or perhaps a separate partition? [07:20] M_dugger: I have an Fx5700 but it's not installed right now, I have an ATI X1600 in this system at the moment [07:20] phae burn iso on a cdr [07:20] :) [07:20] phae is that possible? [07:20] anyone knows how can i finish a bind() connection?? i tried EVERYTHING and it still says the address im using to connect client/server is in use!!! [07:20] i'm pretty sure it is [07:21] phae www.pendrivelinux.com [07:21] boos iso? [07:21] ltcabral: Perhaps a question for ##linux [07:21] lots of guids on that [07:21] so does anyone have any idea why keyboard layout switching fails after a restart under hardy? [07:21] boot* [07:21] once you have grub>.you can do everything [07:21] i was just there, but i think i accidentally closed it out, now that i remember... [07:21] ltcabral: kill the process that's using the socket that already bound it [07:21] thanks! [07:22] well i guess noone has any ideas :/ [07:22] s/already bound it/bound it/ [07:22] maybe it'll fix in the next distro [07:22] phae: there's loads of guides for installing a bootable live ubuntu on a flash drive, google is your friend. [07:22] ah, yeah, no, i was talking about a specific iso that i have [07:22] hmm.. I have an fx5500 in my desktop right now and it shows no problems with Fedora 8 on it. It was pretty much plug and play for me, sorry you're having trouble. [07:23] it's not linux, see [07:23] phae i gave him the site aruldy lol [07:23] phae not linux? [07:23] no, i meant, pendrivelinux is to install linux on a flash drive [07:23] Good news is, I believe the next xServer is supposed to be fixed so that Compiz doesn't break your machine. [07:23] phae thers guids on botting a iso as well [07:24] there is?, maybe i should look harder.. [07:24] phae booting lol [07:24] Starnestommy: tried... even restarting computer and connection didnt work [07:24] Kaffeine offers 5 operating modes. But an option is missing to view DVB-T. How to configure Kaffeine so that it offers me that option too? [07:24] M_dugger: haha. Always fixes in the pipeline. [07:24] ltcabral: try changing the port [07:24] and this would be for ANY bootable iso? [07:24] phae, i don't know how an iso would be bootable [07:24] bullgard4: Probably a question for #kubuntu - we mostly use Gnome apps in here. [07:24] it's an OS installation iso [07:25] of course, WAY upstream! [07:25] RyanPrior: Do you know about what you are talking? [07:25] phae its something along the lines of just extracting the iso on the drive and making it bootable [07:25] phae i think you would want to burn the iso using a burning application [07:25] and i think it'll already be bootable by default [07:25] it's dvd-size, but i have no way of getting to a dvd+r right now === prince_jammys_ is now known as prince_jammys [07:25] phae: if you get grub on the stick then you can set up a menu item to boot to any image file, look at how memtest86 boots for an example. [07:26] omg i dont understand this BIOS.. [07:26] bullgard4: If you get somebody in here who nkows about Kaffeine, that will be fine - but I'm warning you that people who focus on KDE tend to hang out in #kubuntu more than this channel. [07:26] My BIOS seems differnt than everyone elses [07:26] VikDAKinG: then don't touch it XD [07:26] pajamian hes talking abought a direct boot no grub [07:26] VikDAkinG: What motherboard? [07:26] i wouldn't mind using grub [07:26] I need to because else i keep getting this error, and on ubuntu forums it says i need to do something in BIOS to fix it [07:27] i just had doubts, however, because [07:27] umm well I have a pheonix BIOS [07:27] phae the guide on embedded dsl would work on any iso [07:27] phoenix* [07:27] then wouldn't i need to point to the kernel of the OS? [07:27] oh ok [07:27] RyanPrior: Right. Thank you. [07:27] phae all your doing in that guide is extracting the iso and making the drive bootable [07:28] alright... and this would work for non-linux OS's as well? [07:28] phae: Perhaps, but it's mostly designed for this particular Linux boot mechanism. [07:28] how would i go to find what all key-binding do? like a full list of the commands [07:28] i mean, i'll do it ON linux, but the OS of the iso is not linux [07:28] But I just dont see where ACPI Configuration is inside Advanced Menu [07:28] phae: you can boot any "bootable" image using grub. [07:28] phae as long as the drives partation is flaged as bootable i dont see why not [07:28] Is it possible to access you mobile phone (nokia) on ubuntu? I've put it into an USB but nothing happend. [07:28] ok [07:29] worst case it failes lol [07:29] Is it possible that I dont have full access to the BIOS or something? [07:29] i think i have enough leads to keep me entertained, lol [07:29] !nokia | marlun [07:29] marlun: Guides for smartphones and portable devices can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/ [07:29] thanks [07:29] RyanPrior: thanks [07:29] marlun try looking for a driver, otherwise it's a slim chance [07:30] VikDAkinG: It would help if you would let us in on either your motherboard manufacturer or your PC Manufacturer [07:30] phaedru1: just look at a regular menu.lst file and see the lines where it sets up the menu entry for memtest86. I'm not positive, but I think if you use those lines modified with the drive and path to the bootable iso image it should just fire off whatever is on the iso. [07:30] Ok, my PC is by Compaq [07:30] heh, nm, then [07:30] VikDAkinG: Model? [07:30] VikDAkinG: Compaq is just wierd. [07:30] my BIOS Supplier is Phoenix BIOS [07:30] presario [07:31] Is that what you wanted to know? [07:31] I even went into the BIOS menu but problem is I dont see the same menus and stuff they tell me to tweak [07:32] seems like noone else is having this problem so either im doing something wrong or IDK lol [07:32] VikDAkinG: I've installed ubuntu onto one or two presarios, I don't recall having to tweak any of the bios settings to do so. [07:33] I need to disable ACPI for HPET support [07:33] gutsy is letting me read past the end of an array: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63000/ (password is "student") before segfaulting. Is this bad? [07:33] because i was getting an error and the forums says that is how you fix it [07:34] But i cant find anywhere that says anything about ACPI or such [07:34] VikDAkinG: sorry, I don't know about that, I've simply installed it and it worked. I don't have a presario here so I can't tell you where to look either. [07:34] blag: that isn't gutsy's fault [07:34] Starnestommy, changing the port allows the client to connect to the server, but the server wont receive any message from the client.

[07:36] Cpudan80: Okay, but shouldn't the memory space of a different program be protected from being read by my program?

[07:40] simple q, really. [07:40] Cpudan80: true, but I reading in command line flags, and if somebody enters in "-vvf", i want to parse both v's and the f into variables in my program [07:40] but i cant find anything like what they ask to change in my computer's BIOS [07:40] I've got a nifty DVD player for WinXP that'll play videos fullscreen but transparent so that I can continue working.

[07:41] really? o.. [07:41] then wtf does that mean [07:41] VikDAkinG: And the recommendation is to append "noacpi" in the Grub entry [07:41] blag: ok.... so you just do a string comparison [07:42] Hey guys I'm trying to update gnash from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2 by downloading it from here http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnash/0.8.2/ problem is I've only installed things by using apt-get in the past so I don't know what to do with these files.

I know that for somebody that web cam work fine over ubuntu but not for me. is there a developer so kind to help me to understand why? On my pc I obtain a behavior (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4700766#post4700766) on the other we have another(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4704344#post4704344). please, can someone help me? Thank you, lonejack [07:42] VikDAkinG: sec [07:42] Cpudan80: but then I have to think of every possible combination of strings that can be entered... and not just parse options individually... [07:42] freezerburn: why do you want to update gnash that way? why not just wait for the new version from the repos? [07:42] ok sure [07:42] Cpudan80: is that how its normally done then? [07:43] blag: C gives you an argv array and an argc value (length of the argv array) [07:43] blag: just run through the argv array and do a string comparison on the thing to see if it is vvf or whatever [07:44] ok... and how would one boot it directly into say, a text mode console [07:44] VikDAkinG: Have you tried the suggestions on this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=191355 [07:44] since it's stuck in 320x240 for some reason now, I can't use the GUI. [07:44] pajamian: well some of my ppc repos seem to be broken and I don't know if that's cause I'm running ubuntu on a ps3 or what other issues. The gnash I have installed has some bugs in it but the new release has the fix so I can view flash videos on youtube with a proper nav bar cause mine is currently scrambled with buttons on top of buttons. [07:45] VikDAkinG: Specifically post #3 [07:45] iMac600: you can get a text console with Ctrl-Alt-F1, you can switch back to the GUI interface with Ctrl-Alt-F7 [07:45] Cpudan80: right, but they could also enter "vfv" or "fvv" and I would want it to do the same thing. if I'm understanding you correctly, as the number of flags increases, the total number of permutations increases as well, and i would have to make cases for all permutations. [07:45] ahh, I see [07:46] ok... xrandr -s 800x600 [07:46] "can't open display" [07:46] iMac600: or whatever res you want in place of 800x600 [07:46] blag: i hope i'm making sense. [07:47] and sudo doesn't seem to help there [07:47] blag: You're designing the program -- so why not just do [07:47] iMac600: no, it won't because you're in a text console.

I can get a dhcp address from my router with dhclient, but cannot use the net (firefox, torrents), cannot ping google, cannot even ping the router. [07:47] just make single letter args [07:47] iMac600: you can edit your xorg.conf file from the text console and fix it, though. [07:48] avoid the -vvf thing [07:48] Cpudan80: i guess ill have to, but it just kind of bugs me that i cant combine arguments then...

[10:45] automatix2 [10:45] d00mazL you know worked great for me....installing envy in text mode [10:45] Блин, вылетает Kopete :-( [10:45] or rather using envy in text mode [10:45] Блин, вылетае [10:45] hmm [10:45] the nvdia card didn't work [10:45] !ru [10:45] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [10:45] i wonder why were having so much trouble with those drivers [10:46] rahter I meant...graphics didn't work [10:46] i mean i installed them manually too [10:46] well seeing as everyone here is really busy my problems can wait [10:46] works on 640x480 50 hz max [10:46] Squirm: this is an internal pci card or an external usb dongle or what [10:46] d00maz: It's most likely the card [10:46] edit xorg.conf and select nv then start anew [10:46] take care everyone, i have POSIX to figure out ... yay me [10:46] bazhang: internal pci [10:46] shadowmancer: I asked if you had the modules installed; you did not reply [10:46] d00maz: you can also try different linux distros [10:46] jochmenDS, im using nv [10:46] bazhang: i said i did [10:46] bazhang: an SMC wireless PCI adapter(SMCWPCI-G) 802.11g [10:46] NullName, but i like ubuntu [10:47] d00maz: I do as well. But you should try just using live disks.... [10:47] shadowmancer: you need to preface answers with a nick otherwise they get lost; what does ifconfig show three entries or only two [10:47] Hey, virtualbox is causing my host to hang [10:47] I'm using linux-rt kernel image [10:47] any ideas? [10:47] remember when you installed ubuntu? When you booted to the CD it had a fully functioning OS [10:48] or reconfigure your xserver [10:48] NullName, yeah i know [10:48] try downloading other live disks...just so you can see if the card works [10:48] i have a slackware live cd [10:48] open suse has given me better luck with nvidia [10:48] Quintin: tried not using linux-rt? [10:48] but I don't use the distro other than for testing [10:48] Chousuke: no. I want linux-rt =) [10:48] Quintin: well I suggest you try without it. [10:48] well i dont game or anything,so the drivers aren't that inportant [10:48] ;] [10:49] Quintin: that way, you'd at least have an idea where the problem is. [10:49] isn't there a easy way to convert flac to mp3 WITHOUT loosing all tags? [10:49] what was the command to reconfihure x? [10:49] knoppix-std is a pretty has worked wonders with video cards as well [10:49] bazhang: it shows three, and it picks up all the access points that aren't hidden, and further more when i try to connect to them and check using nm-tool it says i am connected but i can't access anything on the net, let alone even ping something like google [10:49] when ubuntu did not. [10:49] Chousuke: well I've read of similar issues with linux-rt, so I'm pretty sure it's my kernel [10:49] did ubuntu always had these problems ? [10:49] shadowmancer: have you tried using the command line? [10:49] jochmenDS: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:50] sorry got to go [10:50] take care [10:50] bye [10:50] thanxs [10:50] d00maz: when you use automatix and envy you are really in bad shape--may as well reinstall [10:50] i did [10:50] Quintin: well you could always try compiling a new kernel and see if that fixes things. [10:50] ;] [10:50] bazhang: i don't know how to connect via the command line [10:51] Chousuke: orrrrrrr not. [10:51] dOOmaz did you try that commad toreconfigure [10:51] shadowmancer: is the wifi hotspot open/wpa/wep [10:51] Quintin: well then, you'll have to figure out some other way to fix things :P [10:51] bazhang: i have an SMC wireless PCI adapter(SMCWPCI-G) 802.11g [10:51] jochmenDS, yup [10:51] didnt work [10:52] Chousuke: http://www.virtualbox.de/ticket/737 eg === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [10:52] hang on a second Squirm [10:52] bazhang: well i have tried all of them on my home router, from open to wpa, and none of them get through, then i tried at my uni which is wpa enterprise and when i had feisty i could connect but when i went to gutsy i couldn't [10:53] dOOmaz wait for hardy [10:53] ;) [10:53] oh you mean 8.04? [10:53] shadowmancer: and lspci correctly identifies that card? [10:53] Quintin: right. so you need a new kernel. [10:53] YEAH [10:53] bazhang: lspci, is that a command call? [10:53] shadowmancer: in the terminal it is a command yes [10:54] Chousuke: I'm using the version that that guy says fixed his problems. [10:54] Hi everybody [10:54] 大家好 [10:54] Quintin: right.

[11:39] ikonia: ooh, alright, i'll check that out [11:39] anyone is using aircrack with inel 3946 a/b/g? [11:39] will i still be able to run 32 bit apps [11:39] *intel [11:40] Falcon846: well, it shouldn't have a problem running it, but it's performance won't be as good as a non-celeron chip [11:40] ikonia: I get "/opt: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Mon Feb 11 09:24:23 2008 [11:40] " [11:40] yeah [11:40] Falcon846: no, you'd need a 32bit compatability environment to run 32bit apps [11:40] pnitram: ok, so "sudo mv /opt /opt.zip_file.gz" [11:40] hmm... [11:40] I have an SMC wireless PCI adapter(SMCWPCI-G) 802.11g on feisty, i cant get it to work [11:41] i have problem with packet injection but i have heard that now is possible to resolve it [11:41] ikonia: ok. anyhow thanks again [11:41] Falcon846: welcome [11:41] ikonia: Oyeaaa!!! Thx U!!!! [11:41] pnitram: welcome, please do "sudo mkdir /opt" to stop further problems [11:42] mkdir as root does the same? [11:42] pnitram: ?? why are you root [11:42] pnitram: you should NOT be root [11:42] don't konow. Always is :p [11:42] Not good? [11:42] *know [11:42] pnitram: ubuntu does not make you root by default [11:43] pnitram: how are you becoming root ? [11:43] mint linux [11:43] pnitram: mint linux is not supported here [11:43] pnitram: please join a mint linux support area [11:45] Hello. [11:45] How do I access a shared folder from another computer? [11:45] Do most new computer support booting from a usb drive ? [11:45] Pupeno: how is it shared ? [11:45] Does xmms2 have a GUI? or do you need to install the orignal xmms? [11:45] tarelerulz: mostly [11:45] Jizzo: xmms2 is more a server side [11:45] ikonia: Thanks [11:46] ikonia: System->Admin->Shared folders [11:46] Pupeno: thats is you want to share a folder [11:46] Pupeno: you said access an already shared folder [11:46] ikonia: any idea on what i have done wrong there, while installing? [11:46] ikonia: well, I already shared it. How do I access it from another computer? [11:47] Pupeno: how did you share it, as samba ? [11:47] Pupeno: what OS is the other computer running [11:47] ikonia: I'm not using Samba, no Windows here, two Ubuntu workstations. [11:49] I have an SMC wireless PCI adapter(SMCWPCI-G) 802.11g on feisty, i cant get it to work. any help? [11:49] Pupeno: so how did you share it? [11:49] Pupeno: NFS ? [11:49] ikonia: yes, that's what system->admin->shared folders says. [11:50] Pupeno: ok, so on your client, just mount it as an NFS export [11:50] Can anyone help me? I have very slow wireless access to my NAS. Someone said to edit fstab, but mine doesn't look like theirs? [11:50] j0nr: fstab is nothing to do with the speed of access [11:50] j0nr: your fstab should not look like other peoples [11:50] I have all ways found samba hard to use ? is nfs hard to set up ? [11:50] tarelerulz: no more/less than samba [11:51] ikonia: I know how to do it at that level, I could even just use sftp, but I expected there to be an easy way that my wife can do it (otherwise doesn't make much sense to make it easy to share it in the first place). [11:51] Pupeno: you know how to do it at what level ? [11:51] Pupeno: set it to auto mount ? [11:52] ikonia: let me rephrase. [11:52] please do [11:52] How can my wife access a (Ubuntu/NFS) shared folder from his Ubuntu box? My wife doesn't know what a shell is. [11:52] The reason I ask ikonia is windows never seem to work with out need user name . Just the normal share part . and so many option [11:52] Pupeno: setup auto mount [11:53] Pupeno: or hardcode it into her fstab [11:53] tarelerulz: any remote service will need username authentication [11:53] ikonia: ok, it's impossible for her. Thanks. [11:53] tarelerulz: NFS is no different [11:53] Pupeno: YOU setup auto mount [11:53] Pupeno: it's not impossible at all [11:53] Pupeno: she can use the "connect to" menu [11:54] ikonia: you are missing the point, but no problem. [11:54] Pupeno: I'm not [11:54] um not sure what to add ... where do i start finding problems with wireless nas speed [11:54] Pupeno: she doesn't know what a shell is, she's very basic [11:54] Pupeno: so use the connect to gui [11:54] ikonia: the connect gui doesn't offer any way to find my computer. [11:54] I have an SMC wireless PCI adapter(SMCWPCI-G) 802.11g on feisty, i cant get it to work. any help? [11:54] Pupeno: type in the computer name [11:54] Pupeno: use network manager to browse (assuming you have set your computer up) [11:54] ikonia: what type of service. [11:55] Pupeno: nfs [11:55] login name and passwords make since for over the internet and big place where you don't know eveny one ,but for you lan in your house they do not. I have share file a lot and windows never need user name or password . I really don't see why it is so hard to set samba up like that [11:55] ikonia: NFS is not on the list of types of services. [11:55] Pupeno: then instlal nfs on her machine [11:55] um not sure what to add ... where do i start finding problems with wireless nas speed [11:56] tarelerulz: yes you did need usernames/password on windows - thats just handled by domain logins [11:56] hi ! i just installed phpMyAdmin and dunno how to make Apache see it ! please give me a clue what manuals to read ! [11:56] Serg_penguin: how did you install myphpadmin, the ubuntu package or from myphpadmin directly [11:57] ikonia: thru GUI package manager [11:57] hey [11:57] Ikonia , I have shared a lot of files and never need to put in user name or password to get at the share from other windows computer. [11:57] Serg_penguin: ok, so go to "http://localhost/myphpadmin" [11:57] tarelerulz: then you have always set it to be an open share with read/write access for the world [11:57] can someone point in in the direction of a good guide for going from XP to ubuntu?

[11:59] ikonia: now http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ revealed login form [11:59] Serg_penguin: I don't know if you did [11:59] no instructions on how to install ubuntu at all? [11:59] mib_hn2f2mf0: put in cdrom, boot it, click install [11:59] mib_hn2f2mf0: there you go [11:59] lol [11:59] I am sure that is what I did ,but I have never really sence that option l just told it to share and everything just worked. with samba I have never seen it work that easy. I had to monkey with it for hours to get it to work at all . Most the time windows never say it. Plus reading samba site is not helpful. a lot of great option ,but nothing for a basic share type like windows would set up [12:00] tarelerulz: yes there is [12:00] and do I have to do stuff with portions? [12:00] tarelerulz: takes 30 seconds to setup [12:00] mib_hn2f2mf0: depends how you want to partition [12:00] what's a good email client to use? [12:00] ohk [12:00] pjv: your call, thuderbird, evoluction, kmail etc [12:00] ikonia: u can say how to uninstal that settings? :) i will instal it again :) [12:01] ahh evolution thank you [12:01] xalewcik: why do you want to re-install it [12:02] because he's cracked, and i don't now how to say it in eng lang :) === ubotu2` is now known as ubotu2 [12:02] xalewcik: what ??? [12:02] then i trie to change settings, nothing happends [12:02] ikonia , I guess your smarter person then I am or you know a lot about network. I never read anything about setting up samba to share with windows and That is one of the main use for it . I got windows to see it ,but it needs a user name and password . How would one set it up for not need either of those [12:02] xalewcik: ok - so why do you need to re-install that [12:02] it's like blocked [12:02] tarelerulz: set the share to be open [12:03] xalewcik: blocked ??? again that is no reason to re-install it [12:03] Hey!

[12:05] salve [12:06] I am not trying to sound dumb ,but never gotten share with samba working that easy. The gui for gnome never seem to do what it said. I found out recent that it don't tell samba to broadcast the name of the share. Linux pick it up and found it ,but windows never did . Maybe it is better now ,but the last time I try that . I spent day and maybe week on it could not find much of anything on what I wanted to do . Most the stuff meant editing the confi [12:06] any one can help me? [12:06] deepak_, allright, well then i don't know more.. I even hassle with the translating page [12:06] toshiba: what is the problem [12:06] ikonia: but there are several files with QT there. How do i know which to install? [12:06] i've a little problem with kubuntu 7.10 [12:06] deepak_: what part are you nost sure about [12:06] mite: depends what QT components you want [12:07] hello? [12:07] ikonia, you can see this https://launchpad.net/~apenguinlinux [12:07] it try to install mp3 codec when i try to open a mp3 [12:07] ikonia:I have never installed QT and want to give it a try. [12:07] deepak_: yes I can see that [12:07] ikonia: which ones are required? [12:07] isn't there a easy way to convert flac to mp3 WITHOUT loosing all tags? [12:07] mite: give it a "try" ?? it's a graphics library [12:07] but it says that the installation is ok [12:08] mite: well, a graphics frame work [12:08] i restart the program [12:08] ikonia, the packages which i do maintain at Debian i want to do the same here [12:08] deepak_: are they already maintained here ? === aaaaa is now known as jiangjun [12:08] and il start again to reinstall codec [12:08] hello [12:08] hello [12:08] hello [12:09] ikonia?

[12:09] ikonia, yes but most of them not updated [12:09] deepak_: speak to the maintainer fist then [12:09] ikonia: I've selected : qt4-designer,qt4-dev-tools, qt4-doc,qt4-qtcnofig. Are these enough? [12:09] deepak_: they may not be updated for a reson [12:09] mite: enough for what ?

[12:10] deepak_: don't know about groups [12:10] I'm chinese, My english is poor~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [12:10] toshiba, get smplayer and that should fix all your woes . totem does ok ,but it don't play back wmv .avi and so on as well. It will do 95% of most stuff with all the plugin ,but for the 5% you need something like smplayer , vlc [12:10] ikonia:to write c++ code with QT [12:10] how can I update open office to 2.4.0 ??? [12:10] mite: ok, so you want to use the framwork, so you'll want the -devel or devl packages [12:10] thanks to all [12:11] mad_max02: if its not available in the ubuntu repo's you don't [12:11] how can i check what is being started on boot? [12:11] pppoe problem [12:11] ikonia, or where i can see that which packages needs help like wnpp in Debian , [12:12] I think they should create a tarball of all past Ubuntu wallpapers, including testing ones. [12:12] is it possible to play music on a ubuntu server? [12:12] deepak_: speak to the mainterins, join #ubuntu-motu and ask around [12:12] ok [12:12] Theo_: I think there's something called mplayer or something similar. hold on. [12:12] what software for download eMule file on the ubuntu£¿ [12:12] ok [12:12] does anyone know of a mp3 script for konversation that is compatible with rhythmbox? [12:13] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [12:13] Theo_: sudo apt-get install mplayer :) [12:13] Theo_: (no smiley face) [12:13] ;) [12:13] what software for download eMule file on the ubuntu£¿ [12:13] Hi! a problem! I have just instaled ubuntu studio, and the network icon from the task bar, is not going, and I can't conect wireless with wifi from networkk manager [12:13] what software for download eMule file on the ubuntu£¿ [12:13] ok and this will play music at the server? [12:13] ikonia: I'll install: qt4-designer,qt4-dev-tools, qt4-doc,qt4-qtcnofig. Is that it? [12:13] what cona I do? [12:13] !repeat | jiangjun [12:13] jiangjun: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [12:13] mite: seems a reasonable place to start [12:14] ikonia: ok, thanks [12:14] Theo_: it plays music from the command line if that's what you mean. Or do you want the server to broadcast music? anyway, #ubuntu-server might be of greater help [12:14] i want it from the CLI [12:14] I will try it out [12:14] Hi i'm wondering why is it so hard to install drivers...in Ubuntu? If its really a windows alternative...why do we still need to type in commands to install a driver? [12:15] will i have to install drivers or did that happen when the server was set up? [12:15] . [12:15] Theo_: yeah, so try mplayer first to see if it fits your needs [12:15] Theo_: it happens during setup [12:15] instal;ing [12:15] AMDX2: its because your manufacturer doesnt provide drivers [12:16] what's with floodbot today? [12:16] It's it's time of the month [12:16] gregory_ - but then once a driver is written......its very easy to deploy it in windows...but in ubuntu its a pain..cuz i need to download this and that and type in commands.. [12:16] theunixgeek, it's detecting anomalies [12:16] Im using Compaq Presario v3000 [12:16] and my Wireless isnt working.. [12:16] AMDX2: ubuntu is linux, linux is command line... (if your manufacturer doesn't provide the drivers, you have to use the commandline [12:17] AMDX2: is there a reason your telling us this ? [12:17] AMDX2, not really -- I didn't have to install any driver on this laptop. Only if manufacturers don't cooperate odd actions are needed, but most of them can now be done in the gui. [12:17] AMDX2, which piece of hardware is giving you trouble? [12:17] WIFI - broadcom wireless [12:17] Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter [12:17] AMDX2, system -> admin -> restricted drivers [12:18] AMDX2: with recent hardware you have a delay until the driver is included into the kernel [12:18] works for *most* broadcom but not all. broadcom is the worst hardware manufacturer when it comes to linux support [12:18] ok [12:19] AMDX2, it would be very easy for Ubuntu to make broadcom cards work out of the box. But they don't allow us to [12:19] AMDX2: and again thats to be fixed by the manufacturer so that release date of hardware and software drivers is the same day [12:19] afaik in Hardy Driver Manager will get firmware by itself for Broadcom [12:19] but this isnt really a new pcs of hardware.. [12:20] v3000 is pretty old already... [12:20] and im using the 8.04 ubuntu [12:20] Hi guys!I had used the command:tar -N '2008/04/13' -zcvf test1.tar.gz . to package some files. there are some files modified before 2008/04/13 in the currently directory,but why they are in the test1.tar.gz too? [12:21] Hi, I would like to know the procentage of 5/10 via bash. I tried 'expr 5 / 10' but that equals 0, since it's rounding down. How can I solve this? [12:21] no im just wondering.....why there cant be just simple packages (of drivers) which we can download...and install?? I mean if...writing command lines..can make it work...why cant all those lines be put under a batch file or something? [12:21] AMDX2: the broadcom drivers for Linux have been created by careful reverse engineering. Broadcom didn't give any help at all, and also they are not perfect so not all chipsets work with them but if yours doesn't there is another way to get it to work with something called ndiswrapper [12:21] has anyone used flex 3 module as a apache2 module on ubuntu and has succeeded? [12:21] oh [12:22] !anyone | berent [12:22] berent: 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? [12:22] AMDX2, i do keep my own 'scripts' that set up my linux system/new installs how i like :) [12:22] - I am sure u do...becuz ur a pro [12:22] Wireless drivers are getting to be such a disaster. its the winmodem fiasco all over again. [12:22] but i guess ur aware tht..Ubuntu is promoting...its OS with a tagline called [12:22] how to use flex 3 module as a apache2 module on ubuntu and succeed? [12:22] Linux for humans [12:23] Dr_willis, only broadcom still sucks, isn't it? [12:23] and they are also promoting.. [12:23] AMDX2, tell that to the hardware makers.. they are the ones not supporting linux. [12:23] or are there other crap ones? [12:23] hmm [12:23] Seveas, ive given up on wireless basicially. :) i ran wires. given the # of questions i see a day in here about wireless drivers.. seems the latest sound card chipsets in laptops are also a top 10 issue now a days as well. [12:23] but then its bad for ubuntu isnt it? [12:23] magnetron - please answer now [12:24] AMDX2: it is, and Ubuntu goes a great deal towards making Linux as user friendly as possible, but without the cooperation of hardware manufacturers it is difficult to impossible to create proper drivers. The miracle is that there is broadcomm support at all. [12:24] AMDX2, also avoid canon brand printers.. or at least do some research befor expecting to buy one that works with linux/cups. [12:24] ok [12:24] I recommend Brother for a printer [12:24] Dr_willis, I run wireless exclusively, 2 desktops and 4 laptops. Several different chipsets [12:24] The 'linux' kernel is also not just the responsibility of 'ubuntu' :) [12:25] well right now the wireless is the only thing thts giving me trouble...becuz lately i am SOO sick and tired of Xp tht i have decided to switch to [12:25] ubuntu [12:25] they have Linux drivers for all their printers and they are GPL [12:25] AMDX2: things are changing, but some companies are just more then reluctant to contribute to the linux system [12:25] Seveas, you must have a lot better lucn then i did. I will admit. I havent tried any of the newer cards out in the last year. :) [12:25] berent: i only answer questions i know the answer too, so does the rest of us in here [12:25] Dr_willis, these are all older, marvell broadcom atheros and intel [12:25] Does wine has any limitation? Can i run ALL windows programs in ubuntu? [12:25] !wine | AMDX2 [12:25] AMDX2: 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. [12:26] AMDX2, wine has a database of compatibility info [12:26] Ok my current problem is getting the new version of Ubuntu working with my ATI X850 card. Gutsy was working Hardy isn't. Any ideas? [12:26] !appdb | AMDX2 [12:26] AMDX2: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [12:26] Seveas, last cards i had.. the wife would turn on the microwave and it killed the network. :) Then i ran in to some cards that had the same 'name' by linksys.. with radicially different chipsets. heh. Talk about confusing. [12:26] kao [12:26] Dr_willis, lol :) [12:26] ÓÐÖйúÈËÂð [12:26] Wine has a great deal of limitations. :) [12:26] jiangjun, english please [12:26] seveas ,are you chinses? [12:26] jiangjun, no [12:26] AMDX2: WINE doesn't work with all windows programs and of those that it does work with most have various levels of bugs. Always check the App DB to see if your program is known to work and what kinds of tweaks you have to do to make it work. [12:26] !cn | jiangjun [12:26] jiangjun: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:27] so will...running a virtual machine ..solve my problem? (cuz unfortunately i will still need to run some windows based programs) [12:27] Ok my current problem is getting the new version of Ubuntu working with my ATI X850 card. Gutsy was working Hardy isn't. Any ideas? [12:27] AMDX2: a full vm, yes [12:27] ubotu, ÄÄÀïÓÐ ÖÐÎÄchat°¡£¿£¿ [12:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about chat°¡£¿£¿ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:27] gregory_ whats a full vm? [12:27] are you vietnamese [12:27] ubotu are you chinese?? [12:27] AMDX2: full hardware emulation, wine is only software emulation [12:28] i want to run ubuntu as my primary os...and inside ubuntu I want to have full WINDOWS Xp [12:28] ok [12:28] ic [12:28] jiangjun: ubotu is a chat robot [12:28] so what VM do u suggest? [12:28] there are few types i suppose [12:28] kao [12:28] AMDX2, the details as to what will work best.. depends on the programs you want to run.

[12:31] No one is talking in #ubuntu+1. Can someone help me get my ATI X850 working in 'Hardy'? [12:32] Steven1: have you tried google yet? [12:32] Thanks every1...You all have been really helpful [12:32] I do have one last question... and that is.. [12:32] Steven1, you just said the same about this channel in #ubuntu+1 :) [12:32] Windows has the option to search for drivers online (auto) [12:32] theunixgeek: Yes actially. Numerous outdated articles to do with Gutsy or earlier distros. [12:32] do we have anything like tht in ubuntu [12:32] Hello, can somebody here help me set up file sharing between two computers on Gutsy? I have samba set up, and it worked at some point, but now I get "The folder contents could not be displayed" error. [12:33] AMDX2, linux dosent use 'drivers' in the same sence that windows does. [12:33] Say....broadcomm decides...to make the driver....can ubuntu...find it for me? [12:33] hmm [12:33] AMDX2, most drivers are kernel modules, or X add ons. if broadcom wanted to make a linux driver. they would put out kernel source for a module that could be compiled/loaded by the kernel. [12:33] AMDX2: as soon as the driver is made, it will be included in ubuntu. [12:33] if they GPL'd the source. it would be included by default [12:33] So there would be no need to go 'get' it :) [12:34] AMDX2: if broadcomm decides to be nice all of a sudden and say a year down the road there's a nice proper driver out for broadcomm devices then ubuntu will have it once it's been properly tested and vetted for bugs, etc. [12:34] how do i make a shell script wait for 5 seconds and then continue? [12:34] how do i set up my "canon smartbase pc1270d" laser printer in linux? [12:34] Hey guys! Whats the correct procedure for tunneling with ssh? remotehost has vnc running on localhost:5900 and I want to forward it to my local computer 'ssh -L localhost:5900:remotehost:5900' returns the same information as 'ssh --help [12:34] AMDX2: no, if bc decides to be in the game, all problems are solved [12:34] there is no driver associated with it [12:34] rhandyk, I think google knows the answer [12:34] ok [12:35] Theo_, the 'sleep' command can do that. [12:35] Theo_: sleep 5 [12:35] ok thank you very much [12:35] and is this true -- http://www.overfl0w.com/2007/10/30/uhmm-ubuntu-may-be-killing-your-laptops-hard-drive/ [12:35] AMDX2: when i got my wireless network card, i specifically looked for cards that would work in linux [12:35] fragged: i googled with no luck [12:35] i've tried googling this but can't seem to get far... anyone got any links/info regarding filesystems mounted by loopback causing hangs under heavy IO under ubuntu? [12:35] hello [12:36] you ren ma? [12:36] running kernel: 2.6.22-14-generic [12:36] magnetron - i have no choice...its built in (laptop)...and i never intended to use ubuntu..i have windows...but now im planning to switch [12:36] There are rather cheap USB, or pcmcia wireless cards out. :) [12:37] even the mini pci cards in most laptops are replaceable.. But some laptops wont let theirs be changed. sadly. [12:37] are you use opera????? [12:37] i have beent rying kde4 but i have been getting these tons of "package could not be authenticated" errors, waht do i do against that? [12:38] fx|RabBit: #kubuntu-kde4 for kde4 support :) but you dont need to worry about those [12:38] AMDX2: for this specific case it is true in the sense, that hardware degrades faster. but thats a very specific combination of hardware. we are talking about 0.000001 percent. and after all this can happen with windows as well [12:38] true [12:38] AMDX2: as I said before, there is more than one way to skin this cat, you can use ndiswrapper if all else fails. [12:38] jussio1: ah, k, thanks [12:38] linux sucks in printer support [12:38] ok [12:39] http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0000619.asp [12:39] AMDX2: ndiswrapper allows you to use the windows version of a wireless driver. [12:39] there is no linux driver for my laser printer [12:39] pajamian - thats gr8...how can i do that? [12:39] !ndiswrapper | AMDX2 [12:39] AMDX2: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:39] hey my gnome-power-manager displays the power for BAT1 i want it to show BAT0 [12:39] what's your printer rhandyk [12:40] "canon smartbase pc1270d" [12:40] AMDX2: keep in mind that I only recommend that to people who already have non-linux compatible wireless adapters and only as long as a decent Linux driver is not available. [12:40] piero_: "canon smartbase pc1270d" [12:41] ok..but since...by default my wireless card doesnt work..so is it fair to assume tht no decent linux driver isnt available now? [12:42] Is that a multifunction device rhandyk? [12:42] AMDX2: you have checked for restricted drivers, right? [12:42] AMDX2: I mean just make sure you' [12:42] the funny part is i have a wireless on/off switch... with a LED.. [12:42] it shows BAT0 correctly when I click on the applet, but I want it to jus show by default [12:42] and even...if...its...On ..the light says its off [12:42] pajamian - ok.. [12:42] AMDX2: you've checked all the other possibilities. It will work better with a proper Linux driver but it will at least work with ndiswrapper. [12:42] piero_: i don't know, it only prints and faxes [12:43] piero_: it's a laser printer and fax machine [12:44] we should complain to broadcomm...abt their limited linux support [12:44] rhandyk: usually if it's a printer and fax then it's also a scanner and digital copier. [12:44] they should provide driver...for linux machines [12:44] pajamian: no, it's not a scanner [12:44] AMDX2: please do, if enough people complain maybe they'll listen. [12:44] pajamian: only print and fax [12:44] is it that hard for them to release a driver...for a different...OS?? [12:44] the gnome-power-maneger-applet shows BAT1, I want it to show BAT0 [12:45] AMDX2: they won't even release specs so that we can write the driver for them. [12:45] damn canon retards [12:45] rhandyk, watch the tongue please [12:45] alright i'll try ur way [12:45] thanks!

[13:23] administ1ator: do you by any chance happe to use firestarter? [13:23] cosminb82, that doesn't look like a file a user would/should create .. it's probably brought about by some kernel driver - you should look into whether that particular application is installed properly [13:24] i see... [13:24] fx|RabBit: yes [13:24] hehehehehe [13:24] fx|RabBit: Eventhough its shut down right now [13:24] fx|RabBit: please say this problem can be solved..

[13:35] administ1ator: i can recommend licq or pidgin === ubuntu is now known as ExalleR [13:36] mmm4m5m, curses applications are not really meant to be run from within scripts .. if you launch one instance, it needs to be closed before another can function properly. [13:36] the query thing worked [13:36] fx|RabBit: but i am only talking to myself in there [13:36] administ1ator: i was gonna say so cos i got nothing *g* [13:37] unop_: first instance is closed. There is nothing about run background process from script. Only after that I run iselect for second time. [13:37] need a dvd player for ubuntu that works out of the box.... [13:37] oops... [13:37] I've just bought a new computer and wanted to install Ubuntu 7.10.. everything goes well until I reboot. then it shows me GRUB error 18.. But the mainboard is brand new so there shouldnt be a problem there.. is there anything wrong with my BOIS perhaps? [13:37] admin you there? [13:37] mmm4m5m, are you sure the first process is definitely not running when you launch the second? [13:38] chat me [13:38] ExallerR: You're f*cked [13:38] I know [13:38] :( [13:38] fx|RabBit: I fucked things up again [13:38] !language [13:38] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [13:38] where should i store python scripts? [13:38] administrator: that is so much a reason why i think commandline irc clients are overrated :D [13:39] youtube-dl appears to be a python script [13:39] administrator, fx|RabBit, are you both registered on freenode? pm's wont work otherwise [13:39] i tried to use synaptic but that version i got was too old [13:39] unop_: ahaaaaa thanx for the hint m8 [13:39] administrator: i am basically registered [13:39] hello, I want to mount my 2gb usb disk as swap on boot. can someone help me from fdisk to fsck [13:39] bo-dick, you can store a script anywhere, just as long as it is executable .. but best in /usr/local/bin/ [13:40] unop_: fx|RabBit I'm not registerd i think [13:40] !register | administrator [13:40] administrator: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [13:40] unop_: check it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63043/ apart of everything else, you can clearly see 2 separate lines where I call iselect. I am just thinking. I have 2 options - to read what "reset" do. To run iselect in another way (like cat file | iselect) - maybe it will be better. === administrator is now known as battler [13:40] unop: do you know what file extention it should have? [13:40] tada:D [13:40] fx|RabBit: unop_ it worked [13:40] bo-dick, file extensions are not important on unix .. just that the script is executable [13:40] battler: uh what? [13:41] fx|RabBit: ubotu and now We can start a private chat? [13:41] battler: == administration? [13:41] Hey all! I was in here a few days ago about seemingly random kernel panics after going from Gutsy to Hardy (everything froze, blinking numlock). I've got some more info now. It happens each time I try to recheck my downloaded torrent files in µTorrent. THe torrent always stops recheck at the same %, programs gradually stop responding until kernel panic. Last time I rebooted before kernel panic occured, and got an error message, which I tr [13:41] anscripted onto paper. It specifically says "this is not a software problem" and also mentiones, "Ata6: EH in ADMA mode", "notifier error" "mcelog --ascii", "Kernel Panic - not syncing: Machine Check" and "Machine Check Exception: 4 bank 4". I've got no clue what to do next... [13:41] fx|RabBit: unop_ battler is my new nick [13:41] unop_: how do i make it executable, now it has html extention [13:41] battler: ok lets go then, do /j #battler [13:42] bo-dick, it it has a .html extension, it's probably not a script .. verify that it is indeed a script, open it up [13:42] can someone help me out to mount my 2gb usb disk as swap on boot. [13:42] unop_: this is contents, http://pastebin.com/m603f4f22 [13:43] unop_: when I run iselect in different way... old: iselect mmm4m5m, try and verify that the fist process of iselect isnt running -- use ps or something [13:43] battler: still dont work huh? [13:43] fx|RabBit: did that:D [13:43] dohhhhhhH:( [13:43] hi folks. i have a problem with my gnome desktop on gutsy. everytime i reboot i get the error message "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon". and my desktop setting are messed up and i chant' change anything.... any help? [13:43] mmm4m5m, thing is i don't know much about iselect to know what that does really :) i just know that curses applications are painful to deal with in scripts [13:43] battler: it does work you're in the chnnel [13:43] now write to me gg [13:44] fx|RabBit: does this message says anything to you : SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy [13:44] Failed to bring up eth2. [13:44] Hi again :) I am just wondering if i type "sudo get-app directx" if that will install directx? [13:45] meowlud1: there is no package for directx in the repositories [13:45] unop_: ok, but looks like this is iselect purpose (interactive tool for terminal). Without script, I do not need iselect (better to use cat or something) [13:45] bo-dick, ok, thats a python script alright, this ought to do. sudo cp /path/to/this/file /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl; sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl [13:46] unop_: thanks [13:46] mmm4m5m, what are you using iselect here for exactly? maybe there is an easier solution [13:46] ok starnestommy... i i wanted to install direct x to run diablo that is now installed how would i go about doing it. i am running the game using wine === foka__ is now known as foka_ [13:46] Seveas: sorry for bothering this much , what's wrong in this script ???

I have to learn more. [13:48] hi, how can I tell if my hdd is dying? I've been getting cannot write to disk errors recently... [13:48] manawenuz, there's probably a better way to attach that file rather than using cat and the pipe. [13:49] unop_: gimme a solution :D ,i can use --attach as well , but what's the difference ??? [13:49] unop_: it doesn't send anything for me :D [13:49] hi all, I try to boot with ubuntu live cd 7.10, but it get many I/O buffer error about sr0, trying the CD Integrity error check give me 10 error, but the CD work fine on another computer (no error for dd if=/dev/cdrom of=tmp.img), will it be driver problem or hardware problem?? [13:49] mmm4m5m, hmm, i would list the files (from an array) using echo or something similar. and read an array index from the user using 'read' [13:49] how do i know if i have alsa? (i installed ubuntu gutsy server) [13:50] Anyone who knows how to read Kernel panic errors? http://pastebin.com/m3cfbfec5 [13:50] manawenuz, the difference isn't all that much, but by using a pipe you are launching two processes, cat and swaks .. without the pipe, you are only launching one [13:50] where does network-admin keep its config files (where it retains previous settings?) [13:50] unop_: this server is 99.99% of the times idle :D [13:51] hey can somone help me with installing a driver"/???

[13:52] its called adm 8211 [13:52] for my laptops wireless card [13:52] bo-dick: yeah. wav. [13:52] does anyone know the status of HDApatcher? I've got a Dell laptop and when i plug in my headphones, i still get sound out of the speakers [13:52] manawenuz, but i don't know enough about swaks to say for certain what the problem might be .. but i would cut this command down to it's simplest form and debug that way [13:52] i believe i have the files i need just dont get the instructions at all.... [13:52] bo-dick: I think the traditional unix audio format is aiff, but no-one uses that :/ [13:52] hello, how can I mount my usb disk as swap??? [13:53] bo-dick, wav files are not exclusive to any platform, all you need is the proper audio codec to play wav files [13:53] #Bandung [13:53] unop_: there's not such of a problem , i want to send an attachment via a scrip in contrab [13:53] unop_: that's all [13:53] ok [13:53] Starnestommy: you there? [13:54] i'm about to convert mp4 to wav [13:54] mulambo: I don't know anything about that driver [13:54] manawenuz, if you are putting this command in a cron job, it might be better if you used a wrapper script to rule out problems -- especially if you are using pipes that way [13:54] anyone who's used mcelog? [13:54] can't see that vlc has any audio extract tool [13:55] Starnestommy alright so im a noob to this and i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and it seems ok but i cant do anything beyond what it already comes with [13:55] unop_: you know what ??? , i just want a solution for a server to report it's ip to me frequently , do you any suggestions beside dyndns ??? [13:55] so its back to xp for me :( [13:55] Found a site which says it decodes machine check events, and that all distros should run it as a cron job regulary. Guess what, Ubuntu doesn't even have it installed by default ;P [13:56] mulambo, what do you want to do? [13:56] install a driver for my pcmcia card [13:56] mulambo: what in xp do you need? [13:56] i found a .bz2 file which i believe contains the driver === magical is now known as PEDROCARMONA [13:57] i really want my flippin wireless card to work in ubuntu [13:57] can i stop cache deletion in firefox, i am using ie7 in box just to save my streamed video [13:57] and i am too much of a noob to follow the criptic instructions that came with it [13:57] manawenuz, you want to find out what your external IP address is? is that it? [13:59] jaffarkelshac, if i understand it right, firefox's cache is only cleared when it is needed i.e. it has run out of space .. or has been manually cleared [13:59] how can I find out which version of the uvc module is installed in hardy? [13:59] my window decorations sometimes just dissapear.. [13:59] wait [13:59] unop_: wait [13:59] cosminb82, please take this question to #ubuntu+1 [13:59] unop_: please [13:59] mulambo, could you point us to the instructions and the part you don't understand? We've all been newbies once hehe. And yes, some instructions for Linux can be crypting, but I find that's mostly because we assume it to be Windows. :( [13:59] ok [13:59] is there a way to reset it without having to restart compiz, or logging out ? [13:59] manawenuz, ok [13:59] aluminum.sourmilk.net/adm8211/ [14:00] thats where i got the driver files from [14:00] unop_: it looks something like this w3m http://www.revealmyip.com/ > ~/ip.txt && mail -s ip.txt siavash.sameni@gmail.com < ~/ip.txt [14:00] yeah i figure once i get the hang of it should be no problem [14:00] unop_, i increased the cache to 1G, when the file finishes steaming (104mb) it is immediately deleted, normally i like to save the flvs [14:00] unop_: w3m http://www.revealmyip.com/ > ~/ip.txt && mail -s ip.txt siavash.sameni@gmail.com < ~/ip.txt [14:00] unop_: i don't know why doesn't it working [14:01] mulambo, which file(s) did you get from that page? [14:02] the very bottom one [14:02] i figure its the newest version [14:02] Hmm, I sorted it by date... hang on.. [14:02] 2.6.15? [14:02] .... [14:03] i think so date 20060111 [14:03] hey, im trying to install a cursor theme, but it keeps changing my icons theme instead, where can i find the library of the cursor themes?

[14:05] or restricted drivers manager ? [14:05] mulambo, do you have the packages listed as prerequisities in the INSTALL file? [14:05] is there any difference in upgrading now and in upgrading when the release is out? [14:05] hh [14:06] unop_: it seems like that my computer's mailserver isn't working [14:06] ¬¬' [14:06] lol where do i get those? [14:06] hey, im trying to install a cursor theme, but it keeps changing my icons theme instead, where can i find the library of the cursor themes? [14:06] from add/remove??? [14:07] well, you can install them using the Synaptic package manager, which is a GUI frontend for the command line program apt-get. [14:07] or the synaptic package manager?? [14:07] ok im gonna try that === retno is now known as dhikun [14:08] If you don't find them all just type "sudo apt-get install packagename1 packagename2" into a terminal. It will make sure you have them all, and they are the latest version. [14:08] i have module-init-tools package [14:09] You probably have gcc too as it's the compiler which comes with most linux distros [14:09] yeah i got it [14:09] im running ubuntu 7.10 === |muelli| is now known as Muelli [14:10] ok, this next one is a bit tricky as I don't know much about kernel modules, but maybe someone else can help. We need to check if the kernel has the "generic ieee80211 code" and it must be configured for kbuild. [14:10] I have just installed Hardy on my system and am now unable to connect to 'localhost'. I have mongrel running on port 3000 and Apache on port 80, but if I try to connect from Firefox I just get a 'connetcting message. any ideas? [14:10] hey, im trying to install a cursor theme, but it keeps changing my icons theme instead, where can i find the library of the cursor themes? [14:11] ok where can i check that [14:12] I think that's the support code for wireless cards, as ieee80211 is the wireless networiking stack, and I do believe ubuntu has this. [14:12] how do i change my user's default email ???? [14:13] alright i believe it would have it built in [14:13] Question: In 32-bit server 7.10, my computer hangs during boot at "Running local boot scripts (/ets/rc.local)". The script says "exit 0". The odd thing is that I can press enter, log into the server and it behaves perfectly normal. Any suggestions? [14:13] I think we can assume that with the rest of the stuff too, now let's compile the driver. [14:14] how do I change screen resolution on my desktop? [14:14] sweet lets do this [14:15] Nasra: preferences -> screen resolution [14:15] I don't want to actually do this on my own machine, as I don't need the driver, but you should start a terminal and cd to the directory of the unpacked files. [14:15] where does network-admin keep its config files (where it retains previous settings?) [14:15] gregory: my screen font too small to read... [14:16] Nasra, gregory_ 's suggestion will work assuming you have your video card/driver and monitor correctly setup [14:16] need to improve it [14:16] huh... [14:16] ok [14:16] Then type "make install" [14:16] NVIDIA GeForce on it [14:16] alrigght can you tell me the command to right its on my desktop [14:16] lol [14:16] 6150SE [14:17] !who [14:17] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:17] i dont know how to use these terminals [14:17] mulambo: are you sure you need to install that driver? I think ubuntu comes with an ADM8211 driver [14:18] anyone else having problems with gnome-settings-daemon failing? [14:18] oh yeah so how do i acitivate it [14:18] Jack_Sparrow: I have a NVIDIA Geforece 6150SE...how do I check if it's okay? [14:18] thanks [14:18] i put the card in and nothing happens i have to connect thought the cat5 [14:18] pppoe time out stop [14:18] Nasra, Are you running gutsy? [14:18] I have just installed Hardy on my system and am now unable to connect to 'localhost'. I have mongrel running on port 3000 and Apache on port 80, but if I try to connect from a browser I just get a 'connecting' message and eventually a timeout. any ideas? [14:18] jack_Sparrow: yes [14:18] Nasra, system..admin..restricted driver manager [14:18] mulambo, to get to your desktop in a terminal, type "cd ~/Desktop" [14:18] 7.10 [14:19] :( [14:19] how bout that just like dos [14:19] Jack_Sparrow: just install it ...no need to configure it or something like that? [14:20] Yes it's similar, but you can do much more from the terminal in linux than dos hehe [14:20] my pppoe connction is time out stoped [14:20] Nasra, start by enabling it in that section.. correct [14:20] Asked this question on Mandriva forums/irc but no joy yet - Trying to install 2008.1 on Dell Dimension E520 (ATI X1300 graphics).

"Optimum resolution 1280x1024 60 Hz". Anyone any ideas how to [14:20] get Mandriva installed? [14:21] pls help [14:21] Nasra, If your monitor v/h etc is not identified you will need to do more aftger that [14:21] hmm, I just noticed I do have an adm8211 driver installed, like Shyde said. You can check by typing "modprobe -l | grep 8211" [14:21] TwoD: so i dont think im able to go to desktop [14:21] Jack_Sparrow: I get a message that says: NVIDIA accelerated graphic driver: enabled in use [14:22] mmm. I'm trying to ping 'http://localhost' or 'http://127.0.0.1' and get address not found. Any ideas? Please? [14:22] Nasra, that is a good thing [14:22] how can i check which color depth my screen is set too? [14:22] ok [14:22] JM: we focus on ubuntu only, sorry [14:22] so now what is next to change the fonts on my screen? [14:22] Nasra, now try to set your supported screen res as gregory_ suggested earlier [14:22] for me entering that commnd modprobe -l | grep 8211 [14:23] does nothing [14:23] jack_Sparrow: thanks and let you know of update.... [14:23] thanks gregory as well... [14:23] Nasra, Higher resolutions will give smaller fonts and icons.. [14:24] I get a line saying "/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/adm8211.ko" [14:24] Meaning that the module is installed. [14:24] Jack Sparrow : what will be a good number for my desktop 19 in [14:24] Nasra, but those can be adjusted manually to soimething you are comfortable with [14:24] ok [14:24] Nasra, generic res is 1024x768 [14:24] do I need to open some ports, like 80 & 3000 somewhere in HArdy? if so, where? [14:25] !hardy > oupa [14:25] I am having troubly emulating does, anyone here who knows how to get a good emulation (which runs properly) ?.. in dosemu there is no way of setting your speed, and dosbox is just slow [14:25] aha....that is what I am trying to do and does not want to stay.... [14:25] emulating DOS [14:25] What's up all [14:25] Exlax: I am trying to run a dos-emulation :) [14:25] jack Sparrow: that is very simple.... [14:25] Nasra, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [14:26] jack_sparrow: ? [14:26] mulambo, did you type "~/Desktop" exactly like that? Remember that Linux is case sensitive on directory and filenames. [14:26] mulambo: can you run "uname -r" in the terminal please? [14:26] oupa, I was saying you are in the wrong channel for Hardy questions [14:27] ok [14:27] jack_sparrow: ok, sorry, it was a bit cryptic for me. where should I go? [14:27] oupa, cryptic... /j #Ubuntu+1 [14:27] 2.6.22-14-generic [14:28] mulambo, TwoD: I'm reading that driver was added to the kernel in version 2.6.24 [14:28] 2.6.22-14-generic [14:28] 2.6.22-14-generic [14:28] 2.6.22-14-generic [14:28] How do I get postfix/procmail to deliver to maildir? [14:28] jack_Sparrow: just change it what is was advised and a big difference.........now too big....need to do some small changes...oh lol...... [14:28] How do I get postfix/procmail to deliver to maildir? [14:28] jack_sparrow also gonna install the paste-in [14:28] Nasra, At least you know how to do it.. [14:28] all my mail is going to /var/mail/user [14:28] good [14:29] Nasra, that is a cool program for the people that are here to help you [14:29] jack_Sparrow : you guys are great at least you understand newbies' concerns [14:29] jack_sparrow: thanks [14:29] anytime [14:30] actually...maybe more specifically...what process moves delivered mail from /var/mail/user to /home/user/.maildir? [14:30] Can anyone help me getting my laptops widescreen resolution working? [14:30] jack_Sparrow : I think am able to go from here....thanks again.... [14:30] Shuyd, he's in 7.10 and I'm in 8.04, Is 2.6.24 used in 7.10? === mulambo is now known as mulambo187 [14:30] Nasra, See you again sometime [14:30] don't think so, I'm in 8.04 too [14:31] palma, What video card ? or is this a laptop [14:31] ok, let's try to compile it then [14:31] alright im back [14:31] mulambo187, did you get to your Desktop folder? [14:32] jack_Sparrow: working on the changes....okay [14:32] yeah [14:32] dragonbyte, it's the delivery agent that delivers mail to a user's inbox -- where those inboxes are acutally located on the filesystem (~/Mail vs /var/mail/user) depends on the MDA's configuration [14:32] how can i use usb drive in vbox [14:32] its a laptop with a 512 nvidia 9500 [14:32] Hi, adept manager doesn't work. It just sits on "Waiting for headers (0%)" when I apply changes.Can you guys think of a reason why? [14:32] Hi, i need to configure a file but i need to cd to it in terminal. i hav no idea how to use cd, could somebody help me out? [14:32] and i typed in make install and i got a bunch of erros [14:32] dragonbyte, there should be something in the postfix documentation on this [14:32] Falcon846: cd /path/to/directory [14:33] If you put the driver in a dir directly under Desktop, type cd and the dir name, like "cd adm8211" [14:33] palma, IN terminal type sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [14:33] then type "make install" [14:33] yeah thats actually what i did [14:33] lo :) [14:33] ok, look for error messages during compilation [14:34] unop_: i added the home_mailbox=.maildir/ and restarted but it doesn't seem to be doing anything [14:34] here: http://pastebin.com/f6dbc567a [14:34] k === leche_ is now known as leche [14:35] so is the cd's default, desktop? [14:35] adm8211_hw.c:2396: error: ‘struct sk_buff’ has no member named ‘mac’ [14:35] Could anyone confirm if we need to put the driver into the source tree as well? Isn't that just for when actually compiling it into the kernel or am I mistaken? [14:35] getting about 5 like that [14:35] This might be a stupid question, it probably is, but how do you zip stuff through the terminal in ubuntu? :x [14:35] palma, by chance are you running Hardy? [14:35] yeah [14:35] !hardy [14:35] 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 [14:35] lol [14:36] how can i use usb drive in vbox [14:36] hello all [14:36] sivel27: hello [14:37] jaffarkelshac, you coud check on #vbox if nobody here knows [14:37] i have a asus mobo with integrated video (6150) and all of the sudden the video went "Dead" on me , i.e running /2 low resolution? === administrator is now known as battler [14:37] dragonbyte, hmm, time to log in the postfix logs then, maybe something there can provide clues as to whats going on .. on a side note, it might be better to write that directive as 'home_mailbox = .maildir/' [14:38] fx|RabBit: you here? [14:38] i have a keyboard problem, im using sv-lat1 and can't get the gameconsolebutton to wokrk, ( the one above tab ) [14:38] running in the gui it seems to opend the make install in geedit [14:38] in-game that is [14:38] all games the same [14:38] Exlax, have you looked in the zip manpage ? [14:39] nexuiz, qw, quake [14:39] battler: yeah sure [14:39] Yeah, i found it, i'm just retarded. Thanks. :D [14:39] battler: /j #battler [14:39] fx|RabBit: how do i join you again [14:39] its a ghost town in there Scunizi [14:39] fx|RabBit: ahhh thanx [14:39] hehehe np [14:40] jaffarkelshac, probaby all sleeping.. lots of them are in different time zones. [14:41] jaffarkelshac, stay logged into that channel and maybe someone will wake up and reply.. however your question wasn't overly specific [14:42] jaffarkelshac, someone answered you.. did you get it.? [14:42] i thought it was, i want to transfer files from my vbox xp coz i am running out of disk space Scunizi [14:42] mulambo187, that seems to be a error (typo perhaps) in the code, not something related to how you install it. Yes, opening the install files will run gedit because they are really just text scripts. [14:42] anyone? ive tried nvidia-glx, and envy [14:44] !envy [14:44] envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [14:44] if I install libc6 from hardy on Gutsy would I break my system? [14:44] i know that,and i uninstalled it, as it did nothing [14:44] !Dual booting [14:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about dual booting - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:45] sivel27: envy probably caused more problems [14:45] !SLI [14:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about sli - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:45] LebLinux, it might, that depends on whether the lic6 package (or its depends) conflict with existing packages on the system .. it is not recommended you do that though [14:47] since i installed it through apt, is it safe to assume that doing and apt-get remove will totally get rid of envy? [14:47] how can i check which color depth my screen is set too? [14:47] sivel27: i think its bette to use aptitude [14:47] better* [14:47] sivel27: envy is unsupported and I've heard of users needing to reinstall to fix problems caused by it [14:47] damn [14:47] sivel27: use purge better than remove [14:47] i was hoping that wasnt said [14:48] unop_: I wanted to install a package , and i did it and it worked, but now when I ran update-manager it gave me an error that I should run apt-get -f install, when I ran it, it gave me alot of packages including packages of thw wm to be removed, I choosed No [14:49] sivel27, use apt... apt in ... apt out [14:49] Scunizi, he is gone [14:50] !Sweaty Jackal [14:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about sweaty jackal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:50] Scunizi, and if he installed envy with apt-get.. I would love to see his source list [14:50] LebLinux, i'm not surprised you've got that problem now - it's not wise to cross-install packages [14:50] MrGnu, Did you have a support question [14:50] unop_: so I'll remove the package that required the libc6 from hardy and install the gutsy one? [14:51] Jack_Sparrow, just realized that.. is it currently true that apt and aptitude function pretty much the same? Also don't each maintain their own database of what's in the system? [14:51] Hey guys [14:52] Actually , working on trying to get linux back, so far nthing s working [14:52] Thanks to rhe Vista virus [14:52] Scunizi, Our version of apt works like aptitude.. I dont know about a sep database for each [14:52] thought id give Ubuntu a lil try, should I download the normal one or the 64bit version, ive got an Intel Q6600 [14:52] LebLinux, have you got any hardy sources in your /etc/apt/sources.list ? if so, remove them first and run this. sudo aptitude install libc6=2.6.1-1ubuntu10 [14:52] LebLinux, and then run. sudo aptitude install -f [14:53] Hysteria, normal one.. [14:53] no, unop_ I installed libc6 from the package manager website. [14:53] MrGnu, Start by telling people the error you are getting [14:53] LebLinux, ok, run those two commands then [14:53] Error 17, cannt mount [14:53] Scunizi: that'll work fine with my quadcore yeh? [14:53] is anyone in here familiar with xrandr not powering on the second display? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:54] Hysteria, do you have tools on your system to burn an image? should work with a quad.

So why cant i install a newer version (1.52 is current), or just install any version from the repositories rather than from online???? [14:55] Hysteria, good.. so many don't know the difference between an image and data [14:55] I've got a laptop I'm trying to dualhead but it boots to the external display but X loads on the Laptops LCD, my monitor goes into standby and won't come back [14:55] I have a Compaq Presario V6042ca (intel) and when I first installed 6.10 the sound worked, but somewhere along the way it stopped (tho sounds still works in Vista). Any pointers? [14:55] unop_: I can't remove libc6 [14:55] hehe :) im quite experienced but a complete nub to linux, thought id give it a whirl over the school holidays [14:55] jack_spratt, the repo will seldom have the latest, but it will have one that is tested and working. [14:56] sparrow: ok thats fine, but why can i only install it from the CD?? [14:56] LebLinux, use the !pastebin (don't paste in here) and let's have a look at what you see there [14:56] ok [14:56] sparrow: why isnt there any ndiswrapper iin the repositories?? [14:56] how i get sudo visually? i mean i want to copy a foler to usr/shares/themes and i dont have permission to do so [14:56] jack_spratt, you need to edit your software sources and uncheck the cd option.. system admin software sources [14:56] JackSparrow its in grub editting has been difficuly.... Although Gutsy is n anothererhard drive, vista longhorn interferes [14:57] sparrow: ah, ok great [14:57] no love for xrandr today? [14:57] I used easy bcd [14:57] i have a problem with firefox; when i browse back to the previous page, it doesn't remember where in the page i were so i have to scroll back down again from the top [14:57] sparrow: do you know if the cd takes priiority as a source over the repos if both are ticked? that would explain this odd situation [14:57] MrGnu, Sorry cant help with that problem [14:57] Hysteria, you'll either be hooked or you'll throw it back.. there is a new learning curve.. sometimes steep when working at the command line.. if you're use to dos then linux command line won't seem so scary.. If you just want to use they gui and programs .. easy.. occational tweeks at the command line. [14:58] jack_spratt, the CD is preferred if the repos have the same version number [14:58] Jack_Sparrow, yes it will look for the cd if you have it enabled.. a pain really [14:58] Its ok Jack, I appreciate the try though [14:58] Heya Scunizi pm [14:58] np [14:58] Hysteria, k [14:58] unop: so do you recon that the repos only have v1.43 of ndiswrapper then?

[15:10] unop_: the trick was in aptitude? could it work with the libc6 that I've installed from hardy? [15:10] Hysteria, that must be the openarena channel.. hard to do that here with almost 1300 people :) [15:10] unop_: because when it asked me to remove all these packages I was surprised!

[15:11] nope Efnet [15:12] LebLinux, you've have to understand how the packages from the different suites fit in with other packages .. conflicts arise when updated native packages realize that an alien package has been installed. [15:12] hi, my Data and XP partitions have disappeared from nautilus and desktop view in Ubuntu gutsy. I havent done anything unusual, i dont understand. I only used Office, Firefox and Rhythmbox on gutsy, then Office, Indesign and aTunes in XP yesterday. But i do that all the time, then this happened. I dont get it. [15:13] LebLinux, and apt-get could have been used there instead of aptitude .. but aptitude probably works better in these circumstances, it handles conflicts in a better way [15:13] unop__: I agree. [15:13] Oh thats why, unop__ do you recommend using aptitude more often then apt ? or just when conflicts arrises? [15:14] THere are fewer differences with Ubuntu's apt and aptitude than with other distros. [15:14] where can I get gtkmozembed? [15:14] LebLinux, aptitude can be used instead of apt-get .. but by default it installs recommended packages too .. and that can lead to some degree of bloat [15:14] i sent file to bluetooth where file go not find [15:15] LebLinux, i use apt-get to install, aptitude to remove/purge packages [15:15] alright, I'll do the same, thank you. === recon_etc is now known as recon === brutalis is now known as propelhat [15:18] lorenzo_, have you tried logging out and logging back in?

[15:20] unop, what [15:21] very bad that cannot upgrade libc6 in gutsy to the last version :( need hardy [15:21] amenado, no, they are not mounted, i dont see them anywhere. In media i only have empty folders [15:21] ? [15:21] serge4, try and install debian packages on ubuntu .. packages are not generally cross-compatible across these two distros [15:21] lorenzo_-> then perhaps you need to mount it so it can be seen?

[15:22] amenado: how do i do it? ubuntu has always mounted them automatically [15:22] serge4, not maybe, definitely , don't even try it [15:22] unop, i will try then to compile rtorrent from source.

[16:50] tgelter, iirc, WOL sends a magic layer-2 frame to a broadcast address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) -- and it's kinda impossible to send layer-2 traffic to a remote destination over the internet [16:50] scheuri: did you get the card and module info? and any idea what's happening? :) [16:50] ok the upgrade was complete i'm rebooting, hope see U soon [16:50] Please test my package avaible in repository: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wujciol/ubuntu hardy main [16:50] PzyBorG_: no, sorry....did you paste anything on pastebin? [16:50] unop: the idea I had was for the packet to be sent to broadcast and therefor be sent to all connected devices [16:51] omar: try "aptitude search [yoursearchwortorpartsofit]" [16:51] as anyone here played or know how to install Quake Wars? [16:51] nope, i just pasted it in the room, was only a small line, i'll paste again [16:51] kwtm, have you tried quoting $@ .. "$@" [16:51] ? [16:51] Ax-Ax: you can not do anything HOURLY...only daily, weekly and monthly using a script put in the folders "/etc/cron.daily|weekly|montly"...if you wand hourly you need to edit with "crontab -e" [16:52] tgelter, right, thats how WOL works anyway, but you can't send broadcast traffic over the internet [16:52] scheuri: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller [16:52] scheuri: I tried it now and it gave no results at all.

[16:53] scheuri: but the directory /etc/cron.hourly/ ? [16:53] unop: or what do people usually try if they want to wake up a machine over WAN? just log into a local machine to the one they want to wake up and send the magic packet from there? [16:53] it just goes to the next prompt, like it loaded successfully [16:53] tgelter, my router is actually a linux machine, and i've set it upto run a script whenever i access a particular URL on it's webserver, the script then wakes up computer(s) [16:53] no errors [16:53] unop: I hadn't learned that one before... will try. Thanks. [16:53] Ax-Ax: there is such a directory? [16:53] * slipttees using hardy and dapper :D [16:53] scheuri: i have one, not added it myself [16:54] kwtm, it would be better if you put your script in a pastebin and showed it to us .. but i have a hunch it might be "$@" [16:54] tgelter: What I do is let my router be accessible by ssh, and then I connect to the router and tell it to Wake-On-LAN my main machine. [16:54] unop: yeah, I've thought of doing that, though it'd be nice if I could just have the router up as I don't have an extra machine and the point of wake-on-wan (in my case) would be to wake up the desktop when I need to access it [16:54] Okay. Umm... ubotu: !pastebin [16:54] ubotu: !pastebin [16:54] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[16:55] Ax-Ax: ah, very well...then its just a bash-script you may add there...either a script that does everything by itself you want it to do OR you put a script in it which STARTS the script which does everything you want to do [16:55] tgelter, yea, it kind is a limitation of SOHO routers ..

[16:57] unop: It's at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63074/ [16:57] Ax-Ax: if you use a script and put it in one of the folders then you do NOT need to change a crontab...it will be done anyway [16:58] * PzyBorG_ tries not to pull his hair out.

[16:58] Ax-Ax: me too actually...:) [16:58] * PzyBorG_ thinks of going back to debian or slack. [16:58] Ax-Ax: what do you want to do hourly anyway if I may ask [16:59] scheuri: in hardy this hda-intel issue it solved [16:59] scheuri: i added @hourly /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate time.nist.gov to sudo crontab -e [16:59] PzyBorG_: Debian is fine too...I must however admit that Ubuntu is better for desktops...still...:) [16:59] hey every1 [16:59] scheuri: hardy 11 days to go :-) [17:00] Ax-Ax: uuhhmmm....is that necessary? I mean...ntpdate should do that automatically anyway? maybe you only need to tell ntpdate to use that specific timeserver [17:00] scheuri: my ntp socket doesn't do anything at all [17:00] slipttees: ah well...I am really thinking of upgrading RIGHT NOW....:) [17:01] true, i've had no problems with ubuntu in the past, it's just this new soundcard for some reason [17:01] scheuri: muahahahhhaa [17:01] hey, does anyone have ubuntu running on their ps3?

[17:11] usser done [17:11] unop: I see you've changed "do :" to "do". I just put "do :" (as in: "do nothing") just as a habit since I don't want the "do" to be on an actual command line. (If I put "for SOMETHING; do Command1; Command2; done" and then later I edit the file to reverse the order of the commands, I have to re-edit the do. So I say "for SOMETHING; do nothing much; Command1; Command2". [17:11] know i can delete files and rename etc [17:11] coldhak: maybe there is still a window (nautilus?) open that points to the CDROM...close that and try again [17:12] Camuflage, after that u+w in the last command sorry [17:12] unop: But the other change is from "for ARG in $@" to "for ARG". Will bash know that ARG means cmd line arguments? Is "ARG" a keyword that I didn't know about? [17:12] coldhak man lsof, then fuser -km /dev/devicehere [17:12] coldhak: this also happens if you open the CLI and you are still in the folders of the CDROM [17:12] Camuflage, u should be able to delete them [17:12] im on Openoffice 2.4 and I get this werid thing where my line gets cut off, and some orange thing is next to the line [17:12] usser yes it's working thanks [17:12] Camuflage, no problem [17:12] let me see if i can make firefox working also [17:12] nope, terminals aren't in it, no windows in it either [17:12] Is it possible to change mounted partitions?

[17:12] screenshot: http://i32.tinypic.com/2620eqf.png [17:13] it appears to be done. problem solved itself. thanks. [17:13] kwtm, if you use a for loop with respect to $@; bash sees these two as equivalent. for i in $@; do .. ; done for i; do ..; done [17:13] actually nevermind... I'm a retard, I have a live cd right here and that'll let me change this partition :P [17:13] kwtm, its not the variable name you use but how $@ is magical with respect to for [17:14] unop: I'm sorry. I think I solved the problem. I had incorrectly interpreted the output. Sorry for troubling you. [17:14] It turns out that I tested with *txt, but in that particular directory, "*.txt" does not correspond with any file. [17:14] unop: It turns out that I tested with *txt, but in that particular directory, "*.txt" does not correspond with any file. That's why "*txt" didn't convert into anything. [17:14] kwtm, you might want to turn nullglobs on then. put this line on top of the script. shopt -s nullglob [17:15] kwtm, err actually, you need nullglobs turn on in the shell, not the script, sorry [17:16] unop: instead of starting the script with "#!/bin/bash", might I use "#!/bin/bash --nullglobs" or something like that? (Not sure if that option exists.) [17:17] kwtm, if you want to do that within a script, you need 'shopt -s nullglobs' on a line of its own [17:17] usser i can't open a folder named .mozilla "permission denied" and with that i can't get firefox working :| [17:17] kwtm, line #2 perhaps [17:17] Camuflage, in your home directory?

There are script commands to set the bash options from within the script? Wow, all the things I don't know.... :) [17:18] kwtm, sorry, nullglob not nullglobs. shopt -s nullglob [17:18] Ayabara, ehm yes [17:18] I need help getting Desktop Effects on an ATI HD 3850 video card.

Synaptec Package Manager only shows me 2.9.0... is there a way I can tell Synaptec Package Manager to get the 2.9.7 version for me? [17:19] Camuflage, ah i see, well u should have probably created the user with the same name in xubuntu [17:19] usser: hmm. that obvious, eh? thanks :-) [17:19] unop: While I've got you, any command to extract the pathname from a filename? Kinda like "basename", but from "/home/mylogin/frog.txt", I want "/home/mylogin", and not "frog.txt". If nothing occurs to you, that's fine.

Has anyone had any issues running 3ds Max (on the software driver) in a winxp virtualbox setup?

[17:25] Hi. I installed Ubuntu recently, but GRUB wouldn't install after repeated attempts, so I just installed LILO. Now I want to switch to GRUB from LILO. How do I do that?

WHile I've got you: I've got the "for ARG" loop cycling on filenames with spaces. E.g. if the result of "*.jpg" is "Two Words.jpg", then it executes once for ARG="Two" and again for ARG="Words.jpg". I recall there's an option to use "\0" instead of space as the delimiter. I know I can use "ls -0" or something like that to generate a list of filenames separated by NUL. How do I get the bash "for" [17:27] loop to act on that? [17:27] that yast is too freeking slow :| [17:28] Camuflage, yep its the main reason i dumped suse too [17:28] i've tried also arch [17:28] Hi there [17:29] well i didn't spend to much time, felt the need of a package manager, one that i could point and click lol [17:29] I got problem with initramfs-tools.

[17:50] Mike_KirkCameron: #ubuntu-server [17:50] Hi, can you post a link to how to do the paste in? [17:50] thannoy: but "DC++" is the name of a windows software used to connect to DirectConnect servers, so you will not find "DC++" on linux, just others DC clients [17:50] Muhammad_Saad no, you're welcome to look it up further yourself. dpkg-reconfigure is recommended for that reason (and more I'm sure I'm not aware of) by the ubuntu X packagers [17:50] !paste [17:50] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[17:51] RAdams-> copy them over to your /boot/grub/ dir [17:52] hi [17:52] hey [17:52] can someone give me a download link for GRUB legacy? [17:52] Muhammad_Saad but briefly, dpkg-reconfigure is the preferred method of handling the predefined options for _all_ ubuntu packages. you can install configure-debian, that's a front end to all possible dpkg-reconfigure calls for installed packages [17:52] amenado: just the files "stage1" and "stage2"? The others seem to be for xfs, reiser, etc which I don't have on this system. So I just need the main stage1 and 2, right? [17:52] !grub [17:52] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[17:53] tyranos it allows older nvidia and current ati cards run compiz in gutsy [17:53] RAdams-> which ever file system you will support ..wont hurt to copy all those files, they are small anyways [17:53] hi, is it possibly to use my mouse (a logitech mx 1000) directly over my notebook's bluetooth adapter? so i could leave the logitech receiver at home when working outside [17:53] VikDAkinG-> what do you mean by grub legacy? [17:54] kleingeist, are you sure your logitech mouse uses bluetooth? [17:54] nickrud, ok i have compiz running on a geforce fx 5700 , does xserver-xgl make it faster or i dont need it at all [17:54] tushyd: dead sure [17:54] tyranos no, you don't need xserver-xgl. Probably would make it slower ;) [17:54] ok thx [17:55] kleingeist, then I don't see why it wouldn't be possible :) [17:55] Hello all, here is a question, if I am able to get UBUNTU up and running with Vista, and I have past Ubuntu installations on hardrive, shouldI not be able to get those past installations loaded using grub from the newly installed UbUNTU or at least get the formed accounts migrated using the migration tool [17:55] ? [17:55] user_ the new ubuntu install should find all the old ones and add them to the grub boot list [17:55] tushyd: well, the question is: are there drivers? [17:55] user__ see above, I didn't get enough underscores ;) [17:55] user_-> what? you want to use vista bootloader to boot ubuntu? [17:56] omg where do i download grub? everything people tell me come up as server not found [17:56] aat this pont NickRUd, whichever works better [17:56] at this point [17:56] VikDAkinG-> wait a minute, you have an installed ubuntu or another linux distro? [17:57] NickRud, Xp is installed first, then I have Windows Vista, i would like to install ubuntu 64 if possible [17:57] user__ I've done that very thing many times, had multiple linuxes and a windows all booting from grub. The latest linux install controlled the grub boot stuff, but it always found all the linux os's [17:57] e [17:57] user__ you can do that for sure. [17:58] amenado: I copied the files over and ran grub, then "find /boot/grub/stage1", but it said file not found. It's there, though.... === branstro is now known as branstrom [17:58] user__-> the tendency for grub is to put the latest linux it installed at the top as the default to boot from, modify your menu.lst per your desire of priority os to boot [17:59] RAdams-> lets step back a sec, what did you do first? are you booted off of a liveCD ? [17:59] What's the differents between Feisty and Gutsy? [17:59] amenado, in the system. Do I have to do this from my grub floppy? [17:59] \agitosbsb [18:00] RAdams-> i dont know what you have done, give me a bit of a story what you did okay? booted from where? a liveCD? [18:01] amenado: this is a fresh ubuntu install. GRUB wouldn't install from the alt install cd after several tries, so I installed LILO. Now I want to switch to GRUB. So I installed the grub package, and made a grub boot floppy, but I've been running these commands from the freshly installed system. Do they have to be run from the boot floppy?

[18:37] ffm__: sorry... [18:37] ffm__, the use of caps when you're trying to emphasize making a point are acceptable, it's yelling that's bad [18:37] Benalex, np/ [18:38] dmsuperman, Isn't that what _emphasis_ and /italics/ are for? [18:38] dmsuperman, Not to mention *bold* [18:38] Benalex - will be sure to read check it out, Linux usually breaks even after you read the docs, so I'll give it a fighting chance [18:38] amenado, see http://pastebin.com/d2135b8da [18:39] ffm__, I agree, with singular words, but it's hard to see the emphasis placed with _a longer phrase than a single words_ [18:39] ffm__, it just seems like randomly places underscores then, to me at least [18:39] ffm__, so i can understand the usage of caps [18:39] http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Obama_under_fire_restates_that_some_voters_are_bitter <- anyone feel like digging? ;) [18:39] can't compile with gcc [18:39] Quintin: I got this [18:39] david@DMa-Ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in terminal [18:39] xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [18:39] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080413133915 [18:39] Package `in' is not installed and no info is available.

[18:43] Benalex - Well I tried for 2 and a half hours tryin everything under the sun, hence ditching linux [18:44] amenado, well i've got something in gconf-editor : system/storage/default options/ntfs there is a fstype_override set to ntfs-3g [18:44] BritGuy-> what exactly is the problem you are having with ? not able to get into your router? [18:44] amenado, so I think ntfs-3g is always used [18:45] Steph33560-> as i have said, am not too sure about the use of ntfs as I dont have it, just kind of google around to verify that indeed you cna use that ntfs instead of ntfs-3g [18:45] hi [18:45] Amenado - I just can't ping out to any IP address on the network, but I have an IP address assigned manually, correct driver for my NIC etc, so i'm at a bit of a loss with it all [18:45] hey all, i need to copy all files of a certain type from one directory to another, including subdirectories, maintaining directory structure. how do i go about this? [18:46] BritGuy-> well lets start with you kindly describing your network layout? then please paste in pastebin your ifconfig; iwconfig; cat /etc/resolv.conf and route -n results..so i can give you some suggestions [18:46] hi all [18:47] hi [18:47] amenado, i've just installed ntfs-config.

I have a peculiar setup, and I think it's going to be the only way to get everything running without hosing everything. [18:47] BritGuy: I suggest you to follow amenado instructions, since uninstalling Linux, you r losing a very good chance to stepup ur life [18:48] lazarus: its' like, 11 days or so [18:48] Steph33560-> per this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009 they are using ntfs-3g [18:48] amenado - You must like a challenge, i'll give u that i been here before and done most of this and everyone was totally confused why it wouldn't work [18:48] lazarus: please go to #ubuntu+1 and read the topic :) [18:48] BritGuy-> well, i have assisted lots, and find out that its the mere bad cabling...cat5 is bad or loose connections [18:48] Anyone at all familiar with bootpart and XP's boot loader? [18:48] hello, can someone plse tell me what I am doing wrong in this SQL statement? 'INSERT INTO user VALUES ("'+edit2.text+'",0,0)' [18:49] rhawk, wrong place, but reverse your single and double quotes [18:49] It can't be bad cabling, I wired all the patch cables myself and they have been tested on a cable tester [18:49] I have my double quotes first....already [18:49] rhawk, depends on your db, but most database use single quotes for values, not double [18:49] rhawk: try to use \ before " and ' [18:50] BritGuy-> i trust you, but sometimes connection gets loose, didnt snap properly..you know the drill [18:50] rhawk, so use the single quote around the value, and the " to escape out [18:50] Benalex - I will give it a shot, I'd be happy to scrap Windows off as must as the next Linux advocate [18:50] "INSERT INTO user VALEUS ('" + edit2.text + "', 0, 0)" [18:50] like that [18:50] BritGuy-> work with me if you like, not much you can lose, other than your time and mine :P [18:50] is there any game like Worms? [18:50] rhawk, but in the future, this is #ubuntu, for ubuntu support. sql questions belong in another channel ;) [18:51] RAdams i gather you were able to create the menu.lst ? [18:51] linkinxp_: lierox or something like that, atleast somewhat similar [18:51] linkinxp, if it's a game that exists, there's another one with the same idea [18:51] sorry dmsuperman. my apologies [18:51] How much minimal memory is needed just for the Ubuntu installation itself?

[18:58] d1gital, use find [18:58] rawb: Normally, upgrades only work one version at a time, so it should be from 7.04 to 7.10 [18:58] arrow proly there are, i just have not looked for them [18:59] thx amenado [18:59] rawb-> maybe your clue is in /boot look at your vmlinuz and initrd versions?

[19:05] anyone know if using rsync -ax is a reasonable way to move your installation from one partition to another? [19:05] Alright, with Ubuntu, is it like a standard methodology for hotkeys? I windows, if you wanted to set a hotkey, you just click in the text box, and hit the key combo. In many Ubuntu apps, however, it appears you have to type them in. That's almost fine, but I'm not quite sure how to type certain keys. Space doesn't work, for example, where z does. I guess my specific question is, how can I make a h [19:05] otkey in Exaile that is ? [19:06] steph33560-> is the issue -- you are not able to get to the directory? [19:06] How Do I Uninstall .package? [19:06] amenado, which directory ? [19:06] dpkg --help [19:06] Uh, I think you might need but don't quote me.

That's an odd format. [19:06] omnomnomynous: Okay, what's the filesystem on there? [19:06] SeveredC1oss, that's what I put, see? [19:06] steph33560-> i dont know, im trying to understand what your issue is, about fstab, what exactly is the problem? [19:06] SeveredC1oss, I even tried just Space [19:06] And it didn't work? [19:06] i think i need to retain ownership over the drive. because it's stuck in write only mode. [19:07] SeveredC1oss, right [19:07] as far as permissions go. [19:07] dmsuperman: You may not be able to use space there, but I'm not sure. [19:07] amenado, in fstab, my disk is described as ntfs using a specific locale [19:07] omnomnomynous: Well, you have a bigger problem if you'r egetting that error above [19:07] amenado, in mtab and procs, its description is not the same ! [19:07] :( [19:07] omnomnomynous: What filesystem do you think is on there? [19:07] SeveredC1oss, In amarok I could use Ctrl + Win + space, so i don't think that's it [19:07] Because that message above basically says "hey, I couldn't find the filesystem you thought you had here." [19:07] hi all :) [19:07] steph33560-> now, I trust /procs entry the most../etc/mtab could be stale, [19:08] i've been running this ubuntu box for months, without incident. i was copying files to the drive and then i couldn't connect to it. so i restarted the ubuntu box and it would moint [19:08] * Angeltronix is listening to Aguanta el metal by Tmoli on Por delante y por detras [Amarok] [19:08] amenado, sure, but it's the same question : why /proc/mounts does not lookis like fstab ? [19:08] SeveredC1oss, No, it's not [19:08] steph33560-> forgetting the description for a moment, is the access to such partitions prohibited? [19:08] the drive was working great (ext3 filesystem i believe) until that day. [19:08] redin: Eh? [19:08] what should i do to troubleshoot? [19:08] SeveredC1oss, brazil? [19:08] BritGuy: finished your blonde moment?? ;) [19:08] brazilian/ [19:08] amenado, no I don't thnik so since manual mounting works [19:09] No, US.

Nothing is saved [20:40] amenado, it worked fine last time I was using this laptop (august last year) then after such a long time I decided to use it again, but meanwhile I changed my security to WPA (from WEP) and this is where I messed it up, trying to fix it. [20:40] BritGuy 30 secs to get a response? thats weird, maybe your driver is not fully supported in linux/ubuntu?

[20:41] First, I set the credentials for connecting to my network with the Network Manager (credentials are WPA2 with password xxxxxxxxxx) then close the box. Later, when I open the settings box again, the encryption has changed to regular WPA and the password is much longer, like xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

[21:07] Evil-MoBo: try running gparted from a livecd, if you use the version in an installed ubuntu, that can't modify a mounted partition, if you use a livecd, the partitin can be unmounted so that changes can be made [21:07] I used to have that heh alrighty [21:08] draginxx, No... automatix is a bad bad thing you did [21:08] i mounted a local folder to a server folder via fds but after reboot it's gone. any ideas? [21:08] oh : [21:08] I shared out a directory through the SHARED folders tools on IFS. How do I connect to it from another ubuntu machine on the same network? [21:08] draginxx: automaitx is not even around really [21:08] How do I undo it? [21:08] !automatic | Jack_Sparrow [21:08] !automatix [21:08] i have ran it as root dtolj and still nuffin i dunno if im doing any thing wrong or what is there another tool besides gparted i can use [21:08] How do I put in my back up copy of the xorg file [21:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about automatic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:08] Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [21:08] it won't let me rename or replace it [21:08] dtolj, I am aware of what it is [21:08] fbc: is it dfs? [21:08] well.. [21:08] that info wouldve been nice [21:08] owen1, NFS [21:08] three months ago :p [21:09] owen1, I did not install samba [21:09] I am remoting into another ubuntu server, does anyone know how I can get the arrow keys to work properly. Right now I just get, ^[[ etc [21:09] draginxx, we have been telling people not to use or try it fro way longer than that [21:09] Evil-MoBo: I dont know of any other tools, there might be some for KDE but i usually use gnome, you can try running cfdisk from terminal [21:09] fbc: sudo mount 192.168.1.2:/home/oren/shared/ home/yuka/shared [21:09] Jack_Sparrow, I installed itlike..my frirst week :p [21:09] anyways that inst the problem [21:09] the new problem is.. [21:09] how do I fix automatix's mess ups? [21:10] or my mess up that had automatix mes up my machine? :p [21:10] brb [21:10] fbc: make sure u have nfs-common on the client machine [21:10] dtolj: how do i install the X windows manager? [21:10] !enter | draginxx [21:10] draginxx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:10] owen1, is there not a gui builting that automatically desicovers servers and things like that. like windows? [21:10] barjoman: it was suggested earlier [21:10] k, I wondt do it anymore, it was an old habit, but yeah how do I clean up what automatix left behind? [21:10] fbc: r u talking about vnc or something similar? [21:11] draginxx, If it was something easy to fix or that we could do for you we would not have been so dead set against it. Once you add repos you screw up your revisions and everything gets messed up giving you the problem you have now trying to upgrade that file [21:11] it tells me to install xinit [21:11] fbc: nautilus [21:11] owen1, no I'm talking about network neighborhood.. [21:11] dtolj, yeah something built in.. [21:11] Jack_Sparrow, ....so reformat? :P [21:11] Hey, how do I use a GNOME icon theme that I got off of gnome-look.org? [21:11] fbc: i am using DFS to share a folder with my home network machines. [21:11] draginxx, wait two weeks and get hardy... or setup hardy as dual boot [21:12] jeeeeze [21:12] fbc: it usually does a good job at discovering networked machines [21:12] fbc: it's not GUI, as far as i know. [21:12] Man, how could osmething like that mess everything up...heh..there's no "default" mode? [21:12] open the appearence settings and drag the tarball into the window [21:12] solar_george, thanks, trying that now [21:12] draginxx, you can remove the non-std repos, and apt-get update and try again.. but it seldom works [21:12] @anyone: True or false -- if I install the 8.04 public beta, I can easily upgrade without having to re-download the final ISO, re-burn, and re-install. ? [21:13] amenado: I'm close to having my grub issues fixed. I've made my menu.lst, it worked a few times, but when update-grub ran, then grub couldn't find the menu.lst. Now whenever I try the command configfile /path/to/menu.lst, it says "not found" even though it's there. The permissions on the file are the same as everything else in there. Ideas? [21:13] i mounted a local folder to a server folder via DFS but after reboot it's gone. any ideas? [21:13] guys i'm having this problem when i try to install vmware "VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" [21:13] benolee: reasonably true [21:13] ok, I think we should really considerate about shipping Firefox in beta as the default web browser un the next LTS [21:13] anyone know a gigabit pci express nic that works with gutsy out of the box? [21:13] i can't really find a fix for this message online [21:13] you will have a lot of downloads though [21:14] i accidently deleted a file with "sudo rm" which should NOT have been deleted, how can i recover it? (i'm on ext3) [21:14] ops [21:14] RAdams and solar_george: Thanks! [21:14] can the frequency of the monitor be set manually? [21:14] does anyone know what to do when grub can't see your menu.lst? [21:14] arnath, the short answer.. if it isnt in /root/.Trash you wont recover it [21:14] arnath: What was the file? [21:14] dtolj, If nautolus discovers it, where would it be.. I'm waiting for the server to appear under network servers... [21:14] daekdroom: a .css file [21:15] thanks for the help everyone...will be back later [21:15] RAdams, reconfiguring the grub might be a good option [21:15] !grub [21:15] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:15] arnath: You can't recover it if it isn't in /root/.Trash :x [21:15] RAdams, have u created a menu.lst manually ? [21:15] wouldn't it be cool with the knoppix boot screen (mean when it searches for hardware etc) on ubuntu ? [21:15] daekdroom: there isn't even a .Trash in /root it seems :( [21:15] dtolj, installed it with sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap [21:15] Hey all, continuing on my problem from earlier, I now have only one sound card in use on the system. However, there is still no sound coming out of the speakers, not even with a test tone. Any ideas? [21:15] murlidhar: reconfiguring how? and yes, manually created jacksparrow: i've read that info, it doesn't help in this case. [21:15] Hey i need a program that will show me the ip addresses of the cpu on my network?, can anyone recomend anything for ubuntu? [21:16] i mounted a local folder to a server folder via DFS but after reboot it's gone. any ideas? [21:16] arnath: Did you check the .Trash of the folder the .css was in? [21:16] http://steve-parker.org/speedtouchconf/script.shtml <<< Run the script AS ROOT << What does he mean by that? [21:16] RAdams, so did u cross check the path of menu.lst [21:16] quick question: what's the ~ in a folder location mean? [21:16] $USERHOME [21:16] murlidhar: I'm not sure what you mean [21:16] Joeseph, /home/$USER/ [21:16] your home folder [21:16] julle - knopis sux [21:16] julle - knopix sux [21:17] thank yoy [21:17] you [21:17] http://steve-parker.org/speedtouchconf/script.shtml <<< Run the script AS ROOT << What does he mean by that?

[21:17] blbrown: umm it sort of asks you when you make the user which shell to use but by default it uses bash [21:17] arnath: You can't recover it :( [21:17] bldrown-- use the terminal [21:17] daekdroom: o crap :( [21:17] RAdams, did u put the menu.lst in /boot/grub/ [21:17] hi all - anyone know how to change: text to: text <> with sed or similar? [21:17] your welcome [21:17] ritalin, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [21:18] arnath: did you try to use the "locate" command to see if it's still somewhere? [21:18] daekdroom: After i boot into ubuntu, i need to install it so my stuff get saved? [21:18] danand yes u need help? [21:18] kitche, I am installing on an ubuntu server and adding the user. I forgot to set his shell, I remember it was something in the etc directory [21:18] murlidhar: yes, and if I use the grub command configfile hd(0,0)/boot/grub/ and hit tab, I can see all the other text files in here, but not my menu.lst [21:18] Yazan`: Yes. You get to that black screen with the logo. Select the first option and click Install on the desktop. [21:18] blbrown: well ther is but you don't touch that file [21:18] Yazan`: But you should be careful because it might destroy your Windows. [21:18] Damn! [21:18] kitche, so I guess, I can't set the shell then [21:18] blbrown: you just have to usermod the user [21:18] windows sux [21:19] so if i'm getting this message when i try to install vmware "VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" is there no way around it? [21:19] ColdBeer: I have all my important things there. [21:19] Will the 8.04 beta be able to upgrade to stable with ease? Or would I have to re-install to stable? [21:19] yazan hi [21:19] ColdBeer - yes. I've got a big file full of text as stated above. I need a sed command or similar to alter the contents of the file [21:19] RAdams, cd /boot/grub/ [21:19] timo1teo: you're installing the wrong vmware player for your architecture. You might be installing the 64-bit version. Whats the package name? [21:19] daekdroom: I can't install on the D: ?? :P [21:19] Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/m4e72de69 [21:19] hey whats the shortcut to lock the screen when im leaving my desk? [21:19] k [21:19] <|MaDeX|> Hi guys, im having problems with the playback of movies etc, it may be to do with the nvdia drivers - refresh rates , also the decoding isnt 100% [21:19] ServerFlags is the part you wanna pay attention too [21:20] RAdams, then ls and then see if the file is present [21:20] i did it correct [21:20] ColdBeer: ctrl-alt-L I think [21:20] murlidhar: yes its there [21:20] Yazan`: You can overwite D:, but Linux WON'T refer it at D:, be careful. [21:20] Yazan`, my advice, don't do it, backup everything and then you can try what you want to try, otherwise just don't do it, because data loss hurts ;-) [21:20] from googling though i found out ubuntu overrides dps settings somehow [21:20] danand- use vi , are u familiar with it? [21:20] any one know if awn curves work on hardy? [21:20] i need to stop it from doing so [21:20] Yazan`: And I'd recommend D: to be like atleast 5GB [21:20] daekdroom: It's over than 10GB [21:20] travisat --thanks :) [21:20] RAdams, so u mean u grub is not working ? [21:20] ritalin, You have not set any screen resolutions in that xorg.. [21:20] Yazan`: Install in it and be happy :D [21:21] RAdams, sudo grub [21:21] ColdBeer - not really - i use nano mostly.... will vi help me do what i want to do? [21:21] Hey i need a program that will show me the ip addresses of the cpu on my network?, can anyone recomend anything for ubuntu?

[21:21] Yazan`: At the installer, at 4th step. You'll have to select the last option. [21:21] u need a txt editor? [21:21] do i need too? [21:21] murlidhar: I mean when I boot my computer, I have to put in the kernel options and everything myself, it never reads the menu.lst [21:21] Yazan`: No. [21:21] murlidhar: I'm in grub === luke_ is now known as Coggz [21:21] ritalin, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg (to just set res) If you get locked out Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max res. Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults [21:21] daekdroom: Ok. Thanks. I'll go try it now. [21:21] Yazan`: But you've to know what you're doing. So you'll really install it in D: (Btw, windows won't see D: after it) [21:21] Yazan`: Wait! [21:21] RAdams, then ur grub is not installed properly [21:21] daekdroom: ? [21:22] i didnt say anything atall.... [21:22] Yazan`: At the installer, at the point where it partitions your system, you shouldn't use the standard option it gives. [21:22] New ies4linux .deb, if anyone wants to test: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4709938#post4709841 [21:22] murlidhar: it was reading the menu.lst before I ran grub-update.... [21:22] i monted a folder with the mount command (mount 192.168.1.2:/home/oren/shared/ home/yuka/shared) but after reboot it's gone. how do i keep it? [21:22] murlidhar: what do you recommend [21:22] Yazan`: The last option is the one you should use. You should also know how to manage that. [21:22] (now slightly less crufty and beta, hopefully) [21:22] RAdams, why don't u reinstall the grub? [21:22] owen1: add it to fstab [21:22] <|MaDeX|> whens the new "final" edition of ubuntu out? [21:22] achadwick, Please not in here.. and FYI the people in winehq will not help you if you run that script [21:22] murlidhar: do I need to do anything else besides removing the package and re-installing it? [21:22] Yazan`: It'll be the partition with the less space. then delete it and replace it with a SWAP partition that has double size of your RAM. Put the remaining in a EXT3 or ReseiFS [21:22] Is there any command to force an application to render it's video or 3D using X11 ?!?! Like I can choose between X11, or Xv (stuff like that), to render the video in MPLAYER, I was wondering if there is any command I can use to force an application to do the same that does not let me change that in the option menu, [21:23] RAdams: what should i add, this line? [21:23] RAdams, i mean configure it again [21:23] my computer detects 1 other monitor and I don't have other one connected [21:23] Cygoku: the application must support it [21:23] how can I delete it from the configuration [21:23] Jack_Sparrow, which channel do you recommend? Understand that I made that .deb and I'm not asking for support, just testers. [21:23] owen1: "man fstab" [21:23] murlidhar: you mean the root and setup statements? [21:23] hi guys, do i have to compile a kernel module for using cisco vpn under gutsy? [21:23] achadwick, See the people in #WInehq ...this is NOT the place to ask for testers.. thanks.. [21:23] RAdams: cool. thanks [21:24] RAdams, yes [21:24] Yazan`: (I suppose D: is smaller than C:). Put the partition that isn't the swap as /. But ----->don't <---- tick "Format" in the biggest partition. It's windows, if you do that you'll lose it. [21:24] RAdams, find /boot/grub/stage1 [21:24] I'll not be going to #winehq because this is unrelated to WINE, but thanks anyway. [21:25] murlidhar: then root (hd0,0) [thats what was returned from find stage1], then setup(hd0), right? [21:25] achadwick, This is not to get ie to run under wine in linux? [21:25] guys I don't have another monitor connected and the computer detects it [21:25] daekdroom: Actually, they're both the same size. But I the D: directory has more free space right now. [21:25] Jack_Sparrow, no. [21:25] RAdams, right [21:25] Yazan`: That's a big problem :/ [21:25] how do I make ubuntu ask me what servers do I want to load again? [21:25] !paste [21:25] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [21:25] RAdams, so it does it say succeeded? [21:25] Yazan`: Hm. In the LiveCD. Go to the folder navigator and check how the system sees the D:. [21:26] hi! can anybody help me to install ispconfig on server ubuntu? [21:26] achadwick, There is a "Terrible" script by that name.. you might want to look into that or change the name.. what does your script do? [21:26] murlidhar: it's done, succeeded. so now i should be able to find /boot/grub/menu.lst right? [21:26] Yazan`: It'll be something like /media/sda2. memorize which is it, so you won't overwrite windows. [21:26] !ot | dmsuperman [21:26] ... [21:26] RAdams, just restart it u should be having a working grub [21:26] !ot [21:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

Which script do you think is the "Terrible" one? Do you mean the rather well-maintained upstream code at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ [21:29] sorry fx5600 [21:29] Yazan`: So you have to check how Linux sees D: to overwrite it. [21:29] how do i figure out my cpu information in gutsy [21:29] timo1teo, cat /proc/cpuinfo [21:29] whats the terminal command [21:29] thank you [21:29] achadwick, That is the one I am talking about.. have you ever asked the people in WInehq about it..

[21:30] Yazan`, all of your drives, everywhere, and devices, will be located somewhere in the / folders [21:30] Yazan`: Yes it will >.> [21:30] i'd like someone to pastebin his xorg.conf file [21:30] Yazan`, it's basically a single folder, and from their you usually have /media/sdXY [21:30] I download ispconfig, write it on cd. Put cd in to my computer with server ubunte [21:30] aolaus, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:30] *ubuntu [21:30] Yazan`: Except if you know how to divide it, but that's something risky if you don't now how to manage it. [21:30] how do I make ubuntu ask me what servers I want to load again? [21:30] and what to do next i don't now [21:30] Yazan`: I recommend moving everything from D: to C: if possible :p [21:30] Yazan`, For example, in windows I had my C, D, and E drives. In Linux, I have /, /media/sdd2, and /media/sda1 [21:30] achadwick, They dislike ies4linux so much it is specifically named in their topic as unsupported and they will NOT help you if you have run it.

[21:37] dmsuperman, I see it is kind of slow in there today.. but be patient.. [21:37] riffed: that's gutsy, but not updated to current [21:37] stefg, the first time I ran shared folders it asked if I wanted to install samba and nfs, and I unchecked nfs.. I opened up symaptic and ununstalled samba thinking it would now ask me again , but it has not.. how do I get that to work? [21:37] Whats the program for create GTK 2.xx themes? [21:37] sachael, this channel is related to ubuntu [21:37] RAdams: if youre trying to locate where the file menu.lst is just type locate in shell and the filename [21:37] Poor them. It should be rather clean, and not mess up any existing WINE installs. I can see why they might not want to get hundreds of support requests about it though. [21:37] RAdams, can u pastebin ur menu.lst [21:37] hola [21:37] murlidhar, I am aware of that, but it is also the biggest linux channel on freenode [21:37] alguien habla español? [21:38] stefg !Thanks.. [21:38] !es | flotopoco [21:38] flotopoco: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [21:38] sachael, which distro are u using? [21:38] Hi, I wish to find a real network expert here [21:38] fbc: just install ntfs/samba from terminal [21:38] murlidhar, gentoo, but that is irrelevant, i could reboot in ubuntu, and ask the same question [21:38] anyone here get zune to work on gutsy [21:38] Dear #ubuntu, I am on the verge of killing myself. I cannot figure this out for the life of me - and it is not limited to one version of Ubuntu. Upon Live boot, or installation, my screen will go blank, tried safe graphics, changing resolution - you name it. No dice. Suggestions? [21:39] sachael, just asking for helping u . [21:39] murlidhar: I think I just fixed it. rebooting to find out, then I'll tell you what happened [21:39] Orbixx, tried waiting a bit for the system to load? [21:39] sachael, You can look into lmsensors or such.. there are tools for that.. but fairly inaccurate [21:39] Orbixx: i dont' think thats a reason to kill yourself. [21:39] Orbixx, a bit = 4-5 mins [21:39] white_eagle: Yes, still nothing. [21:39] fbc: sudo apt.get install samba [21:39] anyone here use Sphinx - I need some help [21:39] IndyGunFreak: Another method of getting a reply. [21:39] Orbixx, do you install it on a laptop? [21:39] fbc: sudo apt-get install samba rather [21:39] white_eagle: Desktop. [21:39] Orbixx: i know, i was being sarcastic.. are you by chance using an ATI dual head card? [21:39] My system is a Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 64 bit proc. nVidia 8800GTX. [21:39] Orbixx, then sorry, I don't know how to help [21:40] 4GB ram. [21:40] maybe someone can tell me step-by-step how to install ispconfig? [21:40] Custom built. [21:40] Orbixx, have you used the 64 bit version? [21:40] Yes. [21:40] try the 32bit [21:40] sachael, are u using gnome ? [21:40] yes [21:40] murlidhar, no, I'm using fluxbox with gtk apps [21:40] what network monitoring software do you guys use? [21:40] Orbixx: have you tried the 32bit? [21:40] Try the 32 bit? [21:40] No. [21:40] I saw no reason to. [21:41] I have a 1Gb lan card but it only has a 100 mbps setting, how can I fix it to 1Gb? [21:41] Orbixx: that would be my suggestion.. 64bit support is very shaky under Ubuntu [21:41] sachael, i am not sure but google xbatt and xbattbar [21:41] IndyGunFreak: Mmm, ok - thanks. [21:41] Although. [21:41] IndyGunFreak: I can hear my optical drive whirring and reading tracks from the disc whilst my screen is blank. [21:41] adv: wireshark and etherape [21:41] And I hear it accessing my disks too. [21:41] can I ask a question connected to xorg in here? [21:41] Orbixx after 2-3 minutes try ctl-alt-f2 , see if you get a terminal. If not, try rebooting, try hitting escape when you see something about grub and choosing the recovery mode boot. [21:42] Orbixx, the nvidia8800 need some tweaking and drivers from nvidia [21:42] Orbixx: well, something isn't right... i woudl suggest tryin the 32bit disk and see if it works, its less hassle than 64bit anyways [21:42] Jack_Sparrow: ah, so it may not even work w/ 32bit? [21:42] my computer detects 1 other monitor, and i don't have any other monitor connected to my pc, oand I want to remove it permamently from my configuration, here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63111/ [21:42] I have a 1Gb Realtek lan card but it only has a 100 mbps setting, how can I fix it to 1Gb? [21:42] Jack_Sparrow: How could I possibly tweak it, and get drivers from nVidia when I can't even boot? [21:42] How do you make 'shares-admin' ask you what network services you'd like to install? [21:42] Orbixx, We try to get people to run 32bit until they become familiar with ubuntu before going 64.. [21:43] Orbixx, vesa mode... [21:43] Jack_Sparrow: so would he still have this issue in 32bit? [21:43] Jack_Sparrow: I administer Linux servers. [21:43] lol [21:43] I've never used Linux as a destkop OS. [21:43] IndyGunFreak: re Orbixx i wonder whether the problem is the 8800gtx graphics, I thought I'd seen mention here that it was a difficult card to get set up [21:43] IndyGunFreak, yes [21:43] hey if i develop all my apps in linux...will they work on windows?say i make all my C,python and all programs using ubuntu.will they work? [21:43] Orbixx, are you trying to boot the livecd? [21:43] Yes. [21:43] DJones: i seem to remember that also. [21:43] sachael, lm-batmon ibam [21:43] I have a 1Gb Realtek lan card but it only has a 100 mbps setting, how can I fix it to 1Gb? [21:43] !alternate | Orbixx [21:43] Orbixx: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [21:44] pharoh, it really depends on whether you program around platform specifics [21:44] murlidhar, thank you! I will check them out. [21:44] pharoh if you use os agnostic functions, mostly [21:44] Orbixx, one sec.. [21:44] Thanks IndyGunFreak. [21:44] Hey, I have a serious problem with my network manager, it does not display wireless, wired, or anything and I can't get onto the inernet [21:44] Orbixx, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [21:44] apexcol: usually the NIC configures itself depending on what speed the port on the other side of the cable supports. so i'd guess the router is only 100 mbps. [21:44] are there any daap capable programs for win98?itunes is null and winamp doesnt install at all [21:44] is anyone good woth vmware workstation? [21:44] cuz i need help with it [21:45] * Orbixx notes all this down. [21:45] pharoh, python scripts can be run on both linux and windows (and whatever else) but python scripts that require linux files, libraries, etc won't work on windows [21:45] Much obliged fellas. [21:45] I'll try your suggestions out. [21:45] Orbixx, I have a bigger list of command line options for troublesome hardware if you want it [21:45] unop: okay, in this world we live in,most pipo use windows,would someone make it in the IT industry if he were full time linux user? [21:46] murlidhar: grub created a boot/grub inside /boot, because /boot is it's own partition. it did that because I kept referencing /boot/* instead of just / [21:46] Jack_Sparrow: I'd love to have it, thanks. [21:46] murlidhar: it works now [21:46] Orbixx, noapic acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable [21:46] murlidhar: thanks for your help [21:46] what does the phrase "during call tear-down" mean? [21:46] RAdams, good to hear that it works [21:46] pharoh, it depends if you wanted to get into the parts of the industry that incorporate linux into their infrastructures or not -- and plenty of them do [21:46] Hey, I have a serious problem with my network manager, it does not display wireless, wired, or anything and I can't get onto the internet [21:46] anything? [21:47] I've problem getting my huawei e220 to work all the time; anyone that might have some ideas how to solve it? [21:47] unop: oh..whew!well then i guess its gudbye windows for me:) [21:47] anyone know of a daap music player for win98? other than itunes or winamp, which i cant use [21:48] win98 [21:48] wow [21:48] For Windows 98? [21:48] You're asking that in #ubuntu? [21:48] bluefoxx: win support is next door [21:48] Can anybody help? [21:48] yes win98. i made a gaming box -. - [21:48] What? [21:48] But even they won't support Win98 [21:48] pharoh, if you were looking to make a career move - i'd say it'd be wise to learn the more popular technologies for the forseeable future (and continue to do so as long as you were in the industry) and not depend on one particular technology to be dominant always - that'd be foolish [21:48] bluefoxx: probably wrong channel [21:48] No one supports w98. [21:48] dma315, Provide your network hardware info to get a better response to your questions [21:49] bluefoxx: vlc [21:49] Jack_Sparrow: Much obliged for the help, mate. [21:49] anyone has an huawei e220 and made it work? [21:49] np.. let me know if it does or does not work.. feedback helps all of us [21:49] I don't think its a hardware problem, it worked 20 minutes ago [21:49] Will do. [21:49] ubutom: there a guid on it? i tried using it to stream music from one pc to another [21:49] How do you make 'shares-admin' ask you what network services you'd like to install? [21:49] Dang Jack_Sparrow thats a long list [21:50] The only thing I did different was roll back my xorg file and reboot, which should have nothing to do with my internet connection === LstHorizon22 is now known as BrightEyes` [21:50] Is there anyone here good with ubuntu networking? [21:50] Howdy Nickrud... My vacation was awesome [21:50] unop: the more popular being....?coz the way i see it,with the announcement that linux is unhackable,plus the open source software privilages,i think it'll dominate pretty soon. [21:50] vlc has a gui, yes, or do you mean guide? bluefoxx [21:50] Jack_Sparrow good to hear [21:50] fbc, the only two services i know that shares-admin controls are nfs and samba .. and it should warn you if you were trying to enable a samba share and samba wasn't installed - nfs is almost always available [21:51] ubotum: i mean a guide on connecting to a daap network music sjare with vlc. i can stream videos, but music doesnt work >. > [21:51] why is it that some of my apps keep turning to this mode where there's just a tiny little square window open with the app's icon in it, and that hides and show the main window? the little window gets annoying. so far, it's only been apps that minimize/close to systray === Orbixx2 is now known as Orbixx [21:51] unop, Yeah, but I deselected vfs the first time I ran it,,, how do I go back and check it off?? [21:51] unop, I meant nfs === matt64- is now known as erle- [21:52] pharoh, i wouldn't like to make predictions about the position of linux in 5 years - yes, it's getting to be quite popular, but will it take up a significant percentage of the market then only remains to be seen. [21:52] unop, I tried going to synaptic and ununstalling samba and nfs thinking it would be forced to ask me agian, but it didn't.. how do I get it to ask me again? [21:52] What are the different Ubuntu channels? [21:53] Anyone know a gigabit pci express nic that'll work with gutsy out of the box? [21:53] !irc | Orbixx [21:53] Orbixx: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [21:53] Orbixx, too many to list here.. anything specific you need [21:53] bluefoxx, I found this through google: http://getittogether.sourceforge.net/ === bluefoxx_ is now known as bluefoxx [21:53] other computer's chat client sucks >> [21:53] Hi, can somebody confirm to me that the Ubuntu DVD contains all the packages from ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, xubuntu, etc. [21:54] how to copy file from cd to home dirictory? [21:54] unop: oh well.anyway,i'm learning programming on windows in college en i practice at home on ubuntu..so i guess i'll just stick to both OS's but be more dominant in linux. [21:54] fbc, i don't use gnome - so i am not sure, but given that shares-admin only works around two file sharing services, it's just easier to install them rather than count on shares-admin prompting for them. [21:54] unop:here in india,they advise that you must know linux [21:54] ubutom: thanks [21:54] gNewPower, The repositories cover over 4 dvd's so not everything will be on one dvd.. the basics yes.. === damaltor_ is now known as damaltor [21:55] how to copy file from cd to home dirictory throught terminal? [21:55] Jack_Sparrow: thanks. [21:55] np [21:55] I have only one /dev/ttyUSB0 [21:55] not three [21:55] pharoh, knowing linux is an advantage sure, only knowing linux might not be enough, get what i mean? :) [21:55] though it has worked some times, but usually not [21:56] unop:yeap..i understand:) [21:56] how to copy file from cd to home dirictory throught terminal? [21:56] abrakadabr: with "cp [from-path] [to-path] [21:56] abrakadabr: cp /media/cdrom/file ~/ [21:56] !cli | abrakadabr [21:56] abrakadabr: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[21:57] i just bought a new 64 bit machine, i am wondering should i install 64 bit version of ubuntu or should i stay with 32bit? [21:57] theunixgeek: try to run "winecfg" and configure it [21:57] does anyone has a clue what I should do? [21:57] damaltor: there's nothing there about colors :( [21:57] chetnick: if you're not planning of stuffing more than 3,6 G of ram into it 32 bt is more convinient [21:57] theunixgeek: just a sec [21:57] I have a 400GB HD that's failing. I want to copy the contents over to a 500GB HD so it's a duplicate. Can I use dd even though the sizes are not the same? [21:58] pcglue, yes [21:58] bbl Play nice.. Nickrud.. see you tomorrow... [21:58] stefg: i have right now 2GB i am planing to upgrade to 4GB ... Doesnt 32bit version support 4gb of RAM? [21:58] root@server1:/cdrom# cp /media/cdrom/ISPConfig-2.2.22.tar.gz ~/ [21:58] cp: cannot stat `/media/cdrom/ISPConfig-2.2.22.tar.gz': No such file or directory [21:58] pcglue: yes, if you don't mind wasting the surplus space. you'll have an exact copy of the filesystem (as opposed to partition) [21:58] but it is on cd... [21:59] Hi guys, does nvdia driver only supports 50hz on plug and play montiors/tv? [21:59] chetnick, yes 4 gig but not all is available for programs... [21:59] what command can i use to test the speed of my hard drives [21:59] ok Thanks ... [21:59] hey anyone got and is using totem? [21:59] navilon, hdparm, see the hdparm manpage on how to accomplish this [22:00] unop: thanks!! [22:00] i can't get libdvdcss to work [22:00] stefg, if I don't want to waste the space, will cp (making sure all permissions stay the same) work? [22:00] abrakadabr: use tab to make sure you complete the line correctly. e.g. cp /media/cdr/ISP [22:00] abrakadabr, is your cdrom mounted ? [22:00] Does anyone know of a tool that allows me to filter / process individual messages in a mailbox? [22:00] unop, yes [22:00] pcglue, dd wont waste the space man dd or I can give you a link [22:00] Something like how you can use fetchmail on an external IMAP and run it through a filter. [22:00] pcglue, you'll need to use cp -a if you use cp [22:00] theunixgeek: hmmm i thoughgt i was sure.. but there doesnt seem to be an option like that. what is the reason for running something in 256 colors? [22:00] hello, i try to make a partition on a disk with gparted, but when it starts creating it the disk automatically mounts and then gparted says it cant create a partition ...what should i do ? [22:01] Jack_Sparrow, would you send me the link please? [22:01] abrakadabr, see what Odd-rationale just said .. [22:01] has Ubuntu 8.4 out of beta yet? [22:01] damaltor: an old game :P [22:01] F3d0rA_: no [22:01] #ubuntu+1 [22:01] theunixgeek: what dows happen when you just run it? [22:01] tim167: does gparted allow you to umount it again? [22:01] I wasn't sure if the partitions need to be the same size or not, and what will happen to the extra space on the bigger HD. [22:01] chetnick: 32 bit can only access 4 GB with a trick called PAE, so 64 bit is advisable for lots of ram. but you'll have trouble with things like flash and some codecs on 64 bit, meaning that you'll have 32bit compatible libs on the system then, too [22:01] i get an error with vmware how do i fix it [22:01] unop, what is 0dd-rationale? [22:01] >> [22:01] its some buffer userif.c error [22:01] theunixgeek: let me know what you got like 10 mins spare, I need to ask a few things :D [22:02] so there looking at a few more weeks? [22:02] MaDeX: ok [22:02] asking again, anyone that could help me with my hsdpa usb modem? [22:02] damaltor: it says it can only run in 256 color mode [22:02] andi5: not really, it gives an error [22:02] abrakadabr: me [22:02] abrakadabr, abrakadabr: use tab to make sure you complete the line correctly. e.g. cp /media/cdr/ISP [22:02] !backup | pcglue [22:02] pcglue: There are many ways to back your system up.

[22:02] kewl thanks again [22:02] * nickrud has wondered about Odd-rationale [22:03] pcglue, dd wont waste the space man dd or I can give you a link http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dd [22:03] bluefoxx: still wrong channel I believe [22:03] stefg: thats what i wanted to know ... i heard about some issues with 64bit OS when it comes to drivers, flash, codecs etc ... just wanted somebody to confirm that ... [22:03] MaDeX: what do you need to ask? [22:03] stefg, Jack_Sparrow, thanks [22:03] chetnick, yes starting with 32 bit will make the learning curve easier. [22:03] theunixgeek: thats weird. i dont have any ideas but setting X to 256 colors wich doesnt make the thing nicer.. you could try to use "wineconsole" instead of "wine", wineconsole was made for some dos progs [22:03] care for a priv chat so i dont spam here :D [22:03] pcglue, np [22:03] how can i see what files are on cd? maybe my PC don't see them... [22:04] pcglue: the extra space will just be there but if your doing byte by byte then the partitions will most likely needt o be the same size such as in doing a hard drive copy instead of like a directory [22:04] Thanks [22:04] unop, OK I've create the export configuration and started up both the nfs.common and nfs-kenel-server daemons.. Do they automatically advertise the service on the network for other ubuntu machines running nautilus to discover? [22:04] damaltor: I'll look at that [22:04] theunixgeek: ok.. good luck [22:04] damaltor: still doesn't work [22:04] :P [22:05] abrakadabr: "cd /media/cdrom && ls" [22:05] andi5: gparted can unmount it,and then shows it as if the partition is made, but i cant write anything on it and it contains a file named "lost and found", wierd... [22:05] abrakadabr: or just "ls /media/cdrom" [22:06] theunixgeek: thats bad.. then i dont have any ideas sorry [22:06] tim167: did you boot from the gparted cd or is that not necessary on your computer? [22:06] root@server1:/media/cdrom# cd /media/cdrom && ls [22:06] root@server1:/media/cdrom# cd /media/cdrom && ls [22:06] root@server1:/media/cdrom# ls /media/cdrom [22:06] abrakadabr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:06] abrakadabr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:06] abrakadabr: then you cd must not be mounted... [22:07] andi5: its an external USB disk that i am trying to format with a ext3 partition [22:07] fbc, errm, i don't think so - you'll need to get the nfs clients to mount directories from the nfs server - nautilus does this (but there's no auto discovery) as does mount and other utilities [22:07] Hi, I'm having issues with my graphics drivers. [22:07] i use a small-cd, maybe it works only with normal? [22:07] Namely I cannot modprobe nvidia. [22:07] Any suggestions?

[22:08] tim167: ok, i see... is that really a file named "lost+found" or rather a directory? [22:08] AzaTht: seems to be the case. ikonia, wait a bit.

When it's mounted it puts a "new volume" icon on the desktop. Is there a way to have it mounted and not showing on my desktop? [22:09] lovehandles: you need to use gconf2 to edit a gnome setting to remove that [22:10] lovehandles: the exact setting is not on the tip of my tongue [22:10] ikonia, AzaTht: any recommendations? [22:10] andi5: it creates the file test.txt [22:10] lovehandles: if you want to change the label of the disk you'll get a "nicer" desktop icon [22:10] r00723r0: sadly, none [22:10] AzaTht: understood. [22:10] That might be good enough for now [22:10] r00723r0: I'm still waiting to see the error message when you try to modprobe [22:10] ikonia: I just showed you it.

[22:10] I my self is trying to get help here (without any sucess I might add) [22:10] tim167: that sounds like a permission problem, caused by improper mounting, rather than gparted's mistake :) [22:10] r00723r0: thats not an error message [22:10] r00723r0: what command are you using [22:10] ikonia: "sudo modprobe nvidia". [22:11] andi5: the mounting is automatic [22:11] Want me to exec -o it? [22:11] floodbot is repeating itslf [22:11] FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [22:11] r00723r0: is the error in another language and your translating it ? [22:11] itself [22:11] No. [22:11] That's directly from the output. [22:11] r00723r0: how did you install the nvidia module ? [22:11] ikonia: nvidia-glx-new from Synaptic. [22:11] This is the first time I've seen something like this as well. [22:12] How do I list the numerical representation of the permissions a file/folder ? [22:12] r00723r0: and your running gusty [22:12] No, Hardy. [22:12] xteven: you don't [22:12] r00723r0: ok, that explains it, join #ubuntu+1 [22:12] Roger, soldier. [22:12] ikonia, so it's impossible to list the numerical value? [22:12] r00723r0: that error message is "new" [22:12] xteven: I'm not aware of a tool [22:12] lovehandles: everything in /media gets a desktop icon, because it's considered as a removable medium. put it somewhre else (/mnt) and write an /etc/fstab entry for it [22:12] anyone able to help me? [22:12] excuse i have deleted the directory of the desktop... how i can come back? [22:13] i have an fstab entry that mounts it at /storage [22:13] MaDeX: if you ask a question [22:13] how do u get your own personal channel listed on the main channels list? [22:13] hi everyone [22:13] and when i umount /storage the icon dissapears [22:13] ikonia: I have [22:13] :D [22:13] maynard: is it in the trash bin ? [22:13] MaDeX: I've not sen it [22:13] yes [22:13] tim167: hm... i am not sure then... maybe it is still mounted by gparted? [22:13] maynard: pull it out of the trash can then [22:13] lovehandles: try a reboot, if fstab is set up. hal/dbus might be confused [22:13] ok, I will try that. Thank you stefg [22:13] maynard: mkdir ~/Desktop [22:14] but the desktop directory is changed [22:14] I have a quick question: I want to isntall ubuntu on a partition with fat32 file system, which install option should I choose from the ubuntu install partioner, so that my existing data doesn't get removed and ubuntu creates a ext3 partition for itself without touching any other data on that disk? [22:14] I have issues with the nvidia, running kubuntu movies /refresh rate is fine, however I want ubuntu, getting codecs not running well, and 50hz refresh (running media pc on 42" tv) [22:14] MaDeX: none of that makes any sense [22:14] :/ [22:14] unop, when I try to mount the nfs from my laptop I get a timeout error. If there anyway I can check if there is somthing in my iptables files? [22:15] MaDeX: ubuntu is the same as kubuntu in terms of codec packages [22:15] hmm [22:15] andi5: no, thats not the case, i closed gparted, i see a volume in my filebrowser, but i cant write on it [22:15] maybe its the nvidia drivers [22:15] MaDeX: how can getting codecs not be "going well" [22:15] its the drivers ikonia [22:15] MaDeX: the nvidia driver will be the same in gnome/kde [22:15] if it ungoes well! [22:15] is possibile change the desktop directory? [22:15] impossible is nothing [22:15] tim167: can you umount it from the filebrowser? if not, try "sudo umount $mountpoint"... then unplug and plug the device... maybe that helps, i do not know :) [22:15] paste [22:15] !paste [22:15] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:16] ikonia: well its saying 50hz on ubuntu, and I can get 60 with kubuntu [22:16] can someone answer a quick installation question please? [22:16] ay: do you know how? [22:16] ikonia: movie playback is laggy, and doesnt look detailed enough [22:16] well no, but i think i could google it [22:16] hello [22:16] Danish989: you do want to install into the fat32 formatted partition or not? i think that makes no sense at all, just make sure you have enough space for linux on its own [22:16] andi5: hmm i tried but no, actually i dont need a partition to dd a disk, do i ? [22:16] but its my way of seeing things, nothing is impossible [22:16] MaDeX: is xorg using the nvida driver on both, do you have compiz running on both, what are teh differences other than the desktop [22:17] fbc, if you have iptables enabled, disable it for the moment so you can verify that nfs is working, because your nfs problem could also lie elsewhere -- anyway, for nfs to work, port 111 and 2049 (tcp) need to be open [22:17] I do want to install into the fat32 formatted partition [22:17] i'm getting issues with my wireless pci card. it's a realtek 8185, the support page says the card was confirmed to work with 2 previous version of ubuntu, but i can't get connected to my home network to go online. [22:17] andi5: you won't be able to install onto a fat partition [22:17] but doesnt ubuntu format the space into ext3? [22:17] ikonia: its hard to explain i think it could be totem then [22:17] and when it does that, does that mean the whole drive will be erased? [22:17] Danish989: you won't be able to install ubuntu onto a fat32 partition [22:17] tim167: you can dd into files or raw devices... no need to create a file system [22:17] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63114/ [22:17] I've recently installed a new SATA DVD burner and trying to burn a DVD using "growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0 ." used to work with my EIDE burner on Ubuntu 7.10, but now does not produce DVD player compatible DVD's with the SATA burner on Ubuntu 8.04. Is there something I need to be doing differently? [22:17] andi5: no you can't [22:18] ikonia: i cannot what? :-) [22:18] unop, how do you do that? [22:18] andi5: dd'ing the files onto raw devices will not work as an installtion method [22:18] do I need to use Gparted to first resize the partition? [22:18] ikonia: I also have a second pc, where the I have nvidia 8800 gts, the setup cd runs, but when i select try, the screen goes blank [22:18] does Ubuntu have any DLNA support? aka, streaming audio/video to PS3/XBox360? [22:18] maynard: what exactly do you want to do? [22:18] andi5: i have a crashed disk and i want to try dd-ing it to this new one...ok i'll try it...was the command this : dd -if /dev/olddisk -of /dev/newdisk ? or do i need to add more stuff ? [22:18] fbc, i don't remember these iptables commands at the top of my head .. but please do !google, you'll find something. [22:18] because you can bind a folder to desktop [22:19] how to do right click with keyboard? [22:19] ikonia: i did not know anyone was trying to use that as an installation method [22:19] andi5: Danish989 appears to be, unless you where not talking to him [22:19] andi5: i had all that in memo's but they are on the trashed disk ... :/ [22:19] I think ill go back to kubuntu [22:19] tim167: dd if=/dev/olddisk of=/dev/newdisk bs=4k (or whatever blocksize you prefer), there are also count or offset, but i guess you do notneed them [22:20] hello, my dvd-burner have suddenly stopped working. it worked perfectly until a few days ago. it can read but not burn in any way, what may be the cause? [22:20] Ok, here's my question re-phrased : if I resize using the partition, how should I resize it? On the partition 7.51 GB is free and I have 1GB of ram on the computer ... how should I resize the partitions for ubuntu? Including space for a swap partition? [22:20] andash: faulty drive ? [22:21] Danish989: your call, it's personal taste [22:21] ikonia: well thats a possibility but i dont think so.. [22:21] indeed [22:21] andi5: ok, so bs=4k is good to recover data from a broken disk ?, also do you know anything about what i can do with the image afterwards ? are there tools to recover the actual files from it ? [22:21] andash: try it from the livecd ? [22:21] DOES the alt cd install faster than the live cd? [22:21] Danish989, 6.5G for / and 1 for swap .. [22:21] but what would you recommend, ikonia? [22:21] Danish989: just try 1.5gb swap and aut rest [22:21] does Ubuntu have any DLNA support? aka, streaming audio/video to PS3/XBox360? [22:21] ah, good idea. ill do that then [22:21] arcticpenguin380: it will do as there is no gui running in memory [22:21] tim167: fortunately i have never had the pleasure to have a broken disk, so no, i am sorry [22:22] I have.. :( [22:22] andi5, ok no problem [22:22] I'm looking for a window manager that I used a long time ago. It had 6 panels, all with nothing in them. When one panel was full, I could switch to a new, blank panel. MUCH better than getting the same icons on a new panel. [22:22] ok thanks for everything :) [22:22] np :) [22:22] i'm getting issues with my wireless pci card. it's a realtek 8185, the support page says the card was confirmed to work with 2 previous version of ubuntu, but i can't get connected to my home network to go online. [22:23] umm sounds like twm stercor maybe unless you mean by panels a new desktop [22:23] kitche: thanks, I'll go nose around. [22:23] kitche: is not metacity the one with only 4 panels? ;-) [22:23] ay: I have to change the directory of the desktop because i deleted the director /home/user/desktop... [22:23] oh.. [22:24] hi guys...I've got a problem running flash plugin...I normaly install it via Firefox' xtension manager, but that flash things doesn's work. Could u help me pls?? [22:24] depends what he means by panels [22:24] ay: and the desktop directory is changed in /home/user/ [22:24] [22:24] theexecutor: try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [22:25] I would have resizex my Windows partition with PartitionMagic but it failed. Any other suggestions, with Linux tools? [22:25] okay, but it'll follow the same process as via firefox or not?? [22:25] theoretically yes [22:25] what version of ubuntu do you use? [22:25] gatestone: Use the live ubuntu cd and run gnome partitioner [22:26] I've got xubuntu gutsy [22:26] excuse me how can I ssh to a computer behind a router? [22:26] 32 or 64 bit? [22:26] sry 32 [22:26] kk [22:26] what is the error message the installation gives you? [22:26] gatestone: You cannot resize a partition from the same hard drive you are running an OS on. Hence the need to run Gparted from the live cd. [22:27] sidelil: forward port 22 from your router to your computer,... (or even change port 22 to some other, not well-known number) [22:27] Luck be with me, fsck failed on my laptop [22:27] is manual check fsck -p /dev/sda3? [22:27] that's that problem..no error does appear..it simply doesn't run [22:27] did you try to remove it and to reinstall it? [22:28] andi5, and then? When I've forwarded the port, should i ssh to the internet address of the router? [22:28] nevermind, running it now [22:28] maynard: pardon my ignorance, but why can't you re-create the directory? [22:28] it's been awhile since I've had this happen :/ [22:28] sidelil: sure [22:28] [22:28] no...I'll try it...thx [22:28] sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree :-) [22:28] sudo prompts it's installed in the newest vs [22:28] andi5, just the internet address, nothing else like the local address of the computer in the LAN? [22:28] ay: i re-create the directory but the desktop directory is changed... [22:29] i know thx:D [22:29] then enter about:plugins in firefox :-) [22:29] and check whether flash is listed or not [22:29] sidelil: that is the part of information you tell your router beforehand: "if something wants to talk with you on port 22, rather redirect it to blaa" [22:29] k [22:29] Dual desktops is working on my login screen, but not after I actually login; is it possible that when I login, it's using a different xorg.conf file? [22:29] andi5, ah, ok cool. Thanks. [22:30] while I was trying to customise my live CD I don't remember wht I did but while deleting the one file I get it is read only file..now I am unable to delete it..anyhelp would be grate.. [22:30] would lsmod work?? [22:30] maynard: oh and since you deleted it your desktop is set to /home/user/.. hmm then I dont know really but you couldn't be the first with this problem [22:30] I shalt investigate === Liamm is now known as Liam [22:30] or better q...would lsmod list that plugin?? [22:30] dont know [22:31] ay: thanks [22:31] but firefox should list it === Liam is now known as Liamm [22:31] ay: i too [22:31] otherwise it will probably not work [22:31] when running a file system check, what does "10.5% non-contiguous" mean [22:31] maynard: there is a magical gconf key, somewhere in /desktop, i think... just use gconf-editor and search for desktop :) [22:31] Hi, all. I've downloaded javadoc from sun's site, copy it into /tmp and extract it with synaptic. But, in NetBeans 6.0, when I want to include it as the javadoc (using Library Manager) and input the URL (/usr/share/doc/j2sdk1.4/1.4.2/jdk/api ), nothing happens. What should I do? [22:31] [22:32] Anyone know how to get S-video to work [22:32] theexecutor i misunderstood you, lsmod just lists kernel modules and no browser plugins... [22:33] sangprabo: do not use /tmp and that directory is typically used for temporary storage... some distros (ubuntu? i do not know) clear that directory at each boot [22:33] no plugins r installed said firefox...so I'll try to sudo again?? [22:33] remove and install again [22:33] but before do a sudo apt-get update [22:33] k...thx [22:33] hello I am using moto4lin and everything goes right but when i press the connect button, i cant see the files sotred in th phone. My phone is a supported device....when i run p2ktest it shows a biiiig list, what could it be???? [22:33] than check in firefox about:plugins whether it is installed or not [22:33] Does anyone know how to get rid of terminal "logs"> [22:33] andi5: I don't boot my PC [22:33] andi5: if you notice he said /usr/share/doc/ he only used /tmp for temporary storage like you said [22:34] theexecutor: out of curiosity, did you check the url "about:plugins"? [22:34] Hooplah: which logs? [22:34] Like, the previous commands I've used. [22:34] andi5: after I've copied the file, I went to synaptyc [22:34] Hooplah: that's ~/.bash_history [22:34] checked...not installed [22:34] okay. and doing rm -fr should do the trick? [22:34] kitche: oops, i did not read the synaptic part, i assume he extracted it right there [22:34] sangprabo: if you compiled the program then why are you using synaptic? [22:34] Hooplah: No. just rm. no -r and no -f [22:34] installing now:) [22:35] Hi, everybody. I'm trying to run the Gutsy livecd/installer but I can't get it to boot. when I take the "silent splash" keywords out of the boot parameters I can see it get as far as starting hald, I get an "ok" and then the box hangs [22:35] [22:35] kitche: I mean I used sudo apt-get (again) [22:35] I googleds ntfsresize, But I can't find it in the Ubuntu packages? [22:35] acpi=off didn't help much, either... Has anybody else run into this? [22:35] try no apic [22:35] kitche: I am using sudo apt-get autoremove, and it automatically solved the problem, but I still have a problem with NetBeans [22:36] ok, ntfsresize in in ntfsprogs. Found it with Synaptic, thoug aptitude search gave nothing. [22:36] is it a reasonable idea to remove ubuntu-docs if i never use the help files, or does it contain more than just that? [22:37] is there any software for ubuntu that allows me to contruct stem and leaf plots and box and wisker plots?

[23:03] djnm, is that part of conky screenlets , gdesklets ? [23:03] <_Silhouette_> Pelo: I would assume the internal, although ubuntu is on the external hard drive [23:03] they normally release updated packages [23:03] I doubt internet has a spirit [23:03] lol [23:03] when I use tsclient to rdp to a xp machine in full screen mode I can only get back to my ubuntu desktop if I disconnect, how can I switch back and forth without disconnecting?

[23:06] Its just numbers [23:06] yeah i know...adblock is my favourite:) just a joke [23:06] well bye [23:06] NO! [23:06] <_Silhouette_> odd-rationale: it's a laptop [23:06] _Silhouette_, that's when you boot from the internal hdd I assume, try booting from the exxternal, see what happens, I can't realy help you much, I don'T know about bdc and about vista bootloader [23:06] LEAVE MY INTERNETS ALONEZZ!!1 [23:06] Pelo: no its a perl script i got off the forums [23:07] okay :) [23:07] _Silhouette_: sure. same thing...

[23:10] _Silhouette_, no idea [23:10] <_Silhouette_> odd-rationale: easyBCD, via vista bootloader [23:10] <_Silhouette_> odd-rationale: it can't find the nst_grub.mbr file, and neither can I [23:10] Pelo, will it just be a cleaner install if I wait? [23:11] _Silhouette_ the mbr? usually on the first sector of the drive [23:11] nickrud? [23:11] _Silhouette_: you need to install grub on the external hdd.

I can't find it [23:11] <_Silhouette_> odd-rationale: did it do that when I installed ubuntu? [23:11] _Silhouette_: the easybcd disk should not be needed. [23:11] I installed 8.04 on my laptop which is connected to tv through Svideo cable. When I press power button on laptop and function + svideo out, i see the pic on tv. When it all loads up to the screen where im asked to enter user and pass, it turns of and i see image only on laptop, and cant get it to show anything on tv after that. How can this be fixed?

[23:20] RAdams: does rhythmbox have any settingsfiles stored in you /home/user/? [23:20] NO means of conversation, just browsing [23:20] wof: Konversation. the IRC client. i thought you wanted to know since you VERSION'd me. [23:20] oh dear... [23:20] bitchx-1.1-final freebsd 6.3-stable(corp) cypress.1.0k stock [23:20] =D [23:20] RAdams also, delete ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox [23:20] wof, are you versioning everyone in the channel or something? [23:20] nickrud: there is no "gconf-tool" [23:20] hi, i am trying to dd a damaged disk onto a new one, it starts the copying but after a while it stops and doesnt finish, what can i do ? thanks [23:21] RAdams sorry, typo: gconftool [23:21] andi5_: Gutsy === Alan_ is now known as Alan [23:21] RAdams always mix that one up with gconf-editor [23:21] <|Porsche> would anybody know why if a setup a firewall startup script with update-rc.d the script blocks all the traffic, but if i mounted manually after i log in it works with no problem? [23:21] Draconicus: you could also check the files in /var/lib/apt/lists, i think [23:21] ljl, Forgive me ... I just do it so often on EFNet without anyone caring ... its hard for me to forget can't do it on other nets that easy :p [23:21] |Porsche: does it perhaps block anything nonroot? [23:21] boredom really [23:22] wof: well, please don't do it here :) [23:22] I give up. I can't find a download for ruby-gtk2 [23:22] nickrud, hey it worked but I haded to install it with aptitude also, for some reason it isntalled firefox beta 5 [23:22] ljl, not allowed on freenode? [23:22] weird [23:22] Anybody know where to get ruby-gtk2? [23:22] can i tell dd to skip bad sectors ? [23:22] wof please don't [23:22] thenetduck are you on hardy? [23:22] nickrud: that worked, but didn't reset what I was hoping. You know the profiles for perferred formats under "music" tab? I want to reset those, and add a new one. [23:22] nickrud, nope [23:22] elmer: sudo apt-get install ruby-gnome2? [23:23] elmer, have you searched in the repos ? [23:23] <|Porsche> what do i have to change so that it would allow nonroot traffic through? [23:23] andi5_, O RLY? It's not ruby-gtk2? [23:23] that may be my problem [23:23] thenetduck that's odd it did that .. Do you have backports enabled? [23:23] nickrud, that is weird [23:23] pelo yeah i checked the SoundTroubleshootingSolutionsGuide [23:23] I have backups of my old internet explorer bookmarks from a few years ago - a folder containing .url files, any way i can import these into firefox? [23:23] I have a problem when I have a full screen application and then it goes to a window and I can't do anything alt-tab doesnt work or anything can anyone help me? [23:23] nickrud, what are backports [23:23] ODB, that's all I have for you [23:24] elmer: libgtk2-ruby1.8 [23:24] |Porsche: I don't know, but I just know sometimes running things at boot/log-in(I really don't know which) could result in running as root [23:24] andi5_, Oh, OK. [23:24] RAdams not sure what you mean there. You can delete ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox as well, maybe it's in the database [23:24] it's listed when i do aplay -l and lspci -v [23:24] andi5_: All clear. [23:24] |Porsche: learnt from my many days hacking away with DSL :D [23:24] if i get input/output error from dd, how can i tell it to skip that sector ? thanks [23:24] thenetduck a repo that includes newer stuff than was available on release, the only place that firefox 3 would be [23:24] nickrud: tried that. What I mean is under Edit --> Preferences --> Music --> Preferred Format [23:24] <|Porsche> ok well thanks for the pointer, i will go investigate [23:24] <|Porsche> hehe [23:25] later folks [23:25] tim167: stop it there and restart with an offset on input and output [23:25] thanks andi5_ ! [23:25] nickrud, oh my software sources are all gusty [23:25] |Porsche: Do so, glhf :) [23:25] nickrud, i just checked that [23:25] <|Porsche> thanks you do the same ;) [23:25] thenetduck look for gutsy-backports [23:25] ok [23:26] zcat[1]: how do I set it back to compiz? [23:26] tim167: conv=noerror, or use gddrescue [23:26] RAdams that's not rhythmbox, try gconf-editor /apps/sound-juicer , you might find it in there [23:26] hey, if i were to install a beta version of ubuntu 8.04 [23:26] could i update it to the released version later? [23:26] how do you force quit in FluxBox? [23:26] nickrud: the preferences set through rhythmbox depend on soundjuicer? [23:26] sveakex think so, but it's due in 11 days [23:26] !final > sveakex (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [23:26] zero88: killall fluxbox ;-) [23:27] kyncani thanks ill try gddrescure [23:27] sveakex: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [23:27] RAdams rhythmbox uses sound juicer for ripping iirc [23:27] zero88: killing fluxbox? [23:27] Hoochie Mama! That's a lotta people...... [23:27] nickrud: makes sense thanks [23:27] ay andi5_ i jsut want to kill a specific process [23:27] nickrud, nope but I have two other ones... one for my Miro player and nother for KDE4 from launchpad I am going to disable the kde one (don't eve use kde anyway) update and try again [23:27] zero88: then check ps faux output and kill the correct pid :) [23:27] andi5_: Could you maybe send me your clean sources.list file? I think there must be something wrong with mine. It's been hand-modified and auto-updated since Dapper. It could be full of weirdness. [23:27] zero88: do this, open terminal ps aux | grep "you APP" [23:28] thenetduck stop [23:28] kill "pid" [23:28] andi5_, sorry how do i do that [23:28] kyncani: would it be harmful to interrupt dd while it is copying ? [23:28] nickrud, ok [23:28] hmm... [23:28] ay ty [23:28] hmmm... am I gunna have to take a number to ask a question? ;) [23:28] thenetduck you can determine the repo with apt-cache policy firefox [23:28] MrStitch: nope ;) [23:28] Draconicus: you modified those files? ... hm, remove them all and issue "sudo apt-get update" [23:28] Tho I'm outta here for now, the wife commands me [23:28] ay what if ur not sure of the name of the process? [23:28] Well then... here we go.... [23:28] !ask [23:28] 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. :-) [23:28] andi5_: Only sources.list, to add a few back when you had to do it that way. Some eye candy repos. [23:28] Draconicus: oops, sources.list, i am sorry, it is late [23:28] then you could type "top" [23:29] and se if its in there [23:29] anybody know a way to install ruby-gettext? [23:29] I think [23:29] ty [23:29] nn [23:29] tim167: nope, and i prefer to use gddrescue than dd with conv=noerror, but that's just me [23:29] ay i think top is for power usage [23:29] Draconicus: i cannot send you anything because i am not at linux right now... but does the gui add the repos when after you moved the file away? [23:29] Draconicus don't know what all you have there, but if they were for dapper, you'll almost certainly want to remove them [23:29] hello [23:29] zero88: oh I just took a guess you needed to kill the most consuming process [23:29] :) [23:29] you could typ ps aux [23:29] and scroll through it [23:30] ay thanls [23:30] kyncani: ok, i apt-get installed gddrescue, but still gddrescue gives "command not found", where is the program ? === node357a is now known as node357 [23:30] or feisty or any other not matching your current release, Draconicus [23:30] nickrud: No no no, just the format. The distro name has been changed to Edgy and Feisty and then to Gutsy through the respective upgrades. I started with Dapper, though. [23:30] tim167: you could test by issueing "dpkg -L gddrescue" [23:30] Draconicus format is the same, just the names have changed ;) [23:30] blogmeet [23:30] tim167: it's called ddrescue i think, and check the manpage [23:30] whats a easy to use video editing application my daughter could use to edit videos before placing them on you-tube? [23:31] nickrud: Tell that to the five entries that no longer work. :P [23:31] i wanna expose exposition for open src and especially linux , do you know where can i find some docs explaining open source and linux , why linux ? [23:31] nickrud: I think I was in a beta at one point. My memory's not so good. [23:31] she is 8 [23:31] why should use linux [23:31] Draconicus put your copy up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [23:31] nickrud, It said it installed firefox 2.0 [23:31] weird [23:31] nickrud, i am going to restart my comptuer [23:31] viator: kdenlive would be my fisrt choice. LiVeS would be another (www.getdeb.net) [23:31] thenetduck type ls -l $(which firefox) [23:31] merouen - you'll never know until you try. Ubuntu is the way to go if you are thinking about it! [23:31] see if that helps [23:31] andi5_: kyncani: ok thanks, checking ... [23:31] nickrud, ok [23:31] viator: cannot you use that reformatting step as security layer? [23:31] tim167: np :) [23:31] i know [23:32] hey guys [23:32] viator, http://www.linux.com/feature/58458 [23:32] hey mrpockets [23:32] hey [23:32] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2008-04-13 16:20 /usr/bin/firefox -> ../lib/firefox/firefox [23:32] so i've got a scanner that is plugged into my soundcard line-in port. [23:32] nickrud [23:32] : some docs [23:32] and i want to stream it [23:32] how? :-X [23:32] merouen - well what are your needs in an OS? [23:33] this the good question [23:33] thenetduck then you should be running the firefox 2, I don't see how you're getting the beta. Unless the launcher points elsewhere; exit all firefox windows, do ps -A | grep firefox to be sure it's not running, then type /usr/bin/firefox [23:33] you wanna help me after all [23:33] :) [23:33] Could anyone offer a suggestion here? I've been using Linux for a short time, however only used Live CDs until now, such as Slax. I would like to install Ubuntu in a seperate parition to dual boot, as Windows Xp is totally busted so I can't load it (recovery console won't even let me fix >.> damned MS..) but my files are still intact - and that is how I would like them to remain. HOWEVER - the problem is I am now at the (manual) parition page of the insta [23:34] RobC269 are you using the live desktop? [23:34] yes [23:34] I've acquired an old server from a friend. Cute little machine... It's got an Intel board, 1ghz processor, on-board SCSI, two 17gig 10k rpm IBM drives, and the usual other small peripherals. I'm trying to install Ubuntu, but it keeps giving errors, and the error I get will depend on changes I make in the bios while trouble shooting. At first, I figured maybe Ubuntu wasn't able to read/write through the on-board scsi controller. But then I ditched the scsi [23:34] I turns out that the antana cannector on my wireless card is freid so i need to save up and grab a new one off of newegg or something. [23:35] yup still firefox beta [23:35] nickrud: Here's the monstrosity: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63119/ Looking back, I'm not even sure where some of those lines came from. [23:35] nickrud, i will restart [23:35] RobC269 you should use the partition editor to resize the ntfs partition, so you have some empty space to install to [23:35] dose firefox beta work now i found it crashed with me all the time is it any better ? [23:36] hi people.. I'm having problems with my screen resolution.. I configured my 19 LCD monitor with a 140x900 res, but there are two black stripes on the sides... what can I do? [23:36] 14400x900 [23:36] 1440.. :P [23:36] Is that not what I have open now? (step 4 of 7) or is that in one of the menus? === [gquit]bombadil is now known as bombadil[gquit] [23:37] im using irc through laptop, installing on desktop [23:37] RobC269 not sure, I don't have that disk at hand.

Have a look at the mess. :P [23:45] Draconicus first look, you do not want 'web' on any line [23:45] hey guys, I was looking for jobs at the ubuntu website but the email addresses i think are wrong...i keep getting undelivearble mail messages instead [23:45] does anyone know whats going on? [23:46] nickrud: 'kay. What does 'web' indicate? I don't remember where I got that. [23:46] Draconicus no freaking clue, except that it's not right :) [23:46] nickrud: Hehe. Alright. :P [23:47] nickrud: That line near the bottom is crazy. I have no clue where it came from. It's like an attempt at an all-in-one repo line. [23:47] partition editor isnt opening, I've told it to open thru system menu about 5 times now - should I just restart Ubuntu? [23:48] seems to be going pretty slow with the installation prog running [23:48] RobC269: sudo gparted [23:48] RobC269 erm, installation going already? too late for gparted [23:49] Hello all [23:49] Draconicus the proposed? that's a well formed line, you can collect each component from each resource into one line like that. [23:49] no - its not actually installing, just at step 4, the bit where u handle partitions - so Im presuming it hasn't done anything at all yet [23:49] Draconicus except for the 'web', of course [23:50] Ok, I have a question. Sometimes, when I mouse over my window buttons (minimize, maximize/restore, and close) while a window is maximized, this little grey bar pops over the entire titlebar. Once I move my mouse off it and back, it disappears, but it bugs me. You can see a screenshot at http://dmsuperman.com/ss.png [23:50] nickrud: Huh. I did always wonder about that. Is it reundant at all? I can't really look right now. [23:50] Any clues what causes that? [23:50] i am trying ddrescue to recover a disk, it stalls at 3215MB, no error messages, is there anything i can do ?
