[00:00] Odd-rationale, it didn't return anything [00:00] nickrud :) [00:00] how do i install flash plugin for firefox? [00:00] wesolek: pastebin the output of "ifconfig" [00:01] boolka2: aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [00:01] boolka sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:01] Odd-rationale, did I mention that my wireless card is on pcmcia? [00:01] zoidberg: I'm not sure what to tell you then. You could always try forwarding the mailer daemon message to webmaster@canonical.com [00:01] * nickrud has to learn to type faster [00:01] wesolek: hmm. ok [00:01] Odd-rationale, it will take me a long time to retype it in pastebin [00:02] Is there a way to have both vertically and horizontally spanning virtual desktops? [00:02] Odd-rationale, and I guess you need to run soon [00:02] wesolek: copy+paste [00:02] Odd-rationale, ubuntu isn't on-line yet [00:02] that's what I'm trying to do [00:02] wesolek can't you wire it up? That will make your life much easier [00:03] so I can have essentially 4 virtual workspaces? 2 by 2? [00:03] wesolek just for the config stuff, seriously. [00:03] wesolek: oh. ok. how many interfaces showed up? and what were there names? lo, eth0, etc.? [00:03] someone wanna give me a hand with installing icecast from source [00:03] ? [00:03] dmsuperman: if you are running compiz, you can sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager and add your desktops there. If you are not running compiz, you should be able to right click on gnome's pager and change the desktops there as well. [00:04] wesolek: ? [00:04] thedonvaughn, I am, but when I change both horizontal virtual size and vertical virtual size to 2, it resets the virtual to 1 or the horizontal to 1, so it will only let me have one of them be higher than 1 [00:04] hi everyone [00:04] hi, does anyone know how to concatenate rar files that all have extention .rar rather than .r01, .ro2, etc.? [00:04] Odd-rationale, eth0, etho:avan, lo, vmnet1, vmnet8, wifi0, wlan0 and wlan0:ava [00:05] here's an installation question: I just resized one of my hard disks and now there's free space and I want to install ubuntu on that. Which installation method do I have to choose? [00:05] dmsuperman: wierd. I run compiz, also in debian at the moment. Works fine for me. [00:05] wesolek: is this a laptop or desktop? [00:05] nickrud: Ignoring the extras, how's this look? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63120/ [00:05] Odd-rationale, both wlan0 and wifi0 have the same mac address [00:05] how do I tell irc that I don't want to see the joins and leaves from a channel? [00:05] dmsuperman: you running compiz? [00:05] MrStitch, depends on your client [00:05] Odd-rationale - laptop, but like a desktop [00:05] MrStitch: depends on the client [00:05] odd-rationale, poor mobility with this old laptop [00:05] thedonvaughn, yeah. figured it out, i had to up the number of desktops. wonder why they would make you manually input a number that would be derived from the other 2 settings :S [00:05] jdsbluedevl, did you try opening one? === oren is now known as owen1 [00:06] dmsuperman: cool [00:06] thedonvaughn: I'm using Gaim... came with Ubuntu [00:07] MeatGrinder: nvm, apparently unrar e "first file" concatenates them all [00:07] wesolek: so all you have is the command line and you want to connect to the internet through your wireless? [00:07] jdsbluedevl, yup :) [00:07] thedonvaughn, I've got dual monitor, and now a 2 by 2 grid of workspaces. That's 8 virtual monitors. I'm sure it'll be easy to lose windows now :P [00:07] jdsbluedevl, rars can be annoying like that [00:08] nickrud: I know it's just fine, but I thought I'd give you a treat and show you a nice, clean sources.list for a change [00:08] wesolek: could you describe your situation again? [00:08] thedonvaughn, do you know if it's possible to set a delay on switching viewports when putting my mouse to the edge? like, I want it so if my mouse just brushes the edge for a quick second it won't switch viewports, i have to hold it there for half a second or something [00:08] When is the next release coming out? [00:08] i got gpartition thing working..I found out the problem - the NTFS partition had "inconsistencies" and needed chkdisk run on Windows to fix it..which is broken -.- ..I have no problem accessing and mounting it on Slax, so I'm kinda puzzled as to why Ubuntu is giving me this error :/ [00:08] nickrud: Huh. Can I put universe and multiverse on bugfixes? Do they even count for that repo? [00:09] I connect my computer to a server using sftp (with "connect to server" in ubuntu 8.04) and I don't have the permissions to download files and even for write but I can browse it ... it's very strange because if I connect with ssh in a terminal it's ok ... [00:09] Odd-rationale, I've got the graphic interface... I mean everything worked fine till august last year, when I stopped using it. meanwhile I changed my wireless security from WEP to WPA and when I turned my ubunto on today (for the first time since aug) it didn't connect. So I tried to fix it and ended up messing up my interface file really bad [00:09] dmsuperman: honestly not sure on that. would be useful i suppose tho [00:09] Saint`Dia: www.ubuntu.com will tell you that. [00:09] here's an installation question: I just resized one of my hard disks and now there's free space and I want to install ubuntu on that. Which installation method do I have to choose? [00:09] Has anyone heard of a program called Magicpart, or something similar? It's a an ISO for partitioning hdd's, [00:10] ScottONanski: Partition magic? [00:10] Hi, when i press Mercury Messenger, Which i have just installed, It wont load it, does anyone have any ideas? [00:10] Danish989, just run livecd, click install, and pick the partition [00:10] odd-rationale, I even tried to connect to a non-secured network and nothing [00:10] if I use guided installation, wont that just install ubuntu on my primary hard disk? where windows is currently installed? I want to install ubuntu on the free space on my other hard disk [00:10] Danish989: what do you mean method? desktop, server, and alternative? [00:10] Drac> No, it's OSS. [00:10] thedonvaughn: desktop [00:10] I am having a problem loading firefox. I can run : /usr/bin/firefox/./firefox and it will run fine, but I can't seem to get it to run when I just type "firefox" in the terminal, which I need so my links run properly. How can I fix this? [00:10] Danish989: oh i'd use manual. give yourself a swap 2x your ram and you should be good. [00:11] i forget the options ubuntu has [00:11] Danish989: i suppose guided with available free space would be safe if that's an option, i forget. [00:11] do I have to choose space for the swap partition manually? [00:11] Hi, when i press Mercury Messenger, Which i have just installed, It wont load it, does anyone have any ideas? [00:11] Ah, it's called Parted Magic. :) [00:11] Danish989: yes. manual you do the partitioning yourself. [00:11] yeah, at least with vertical workspaces, because i have a habit of "slamming' my cursor at the top or bottom of the window to access the taskbar or close/minimize buttons [00:11] does anyone use hulu.com with hardy and the flashplugin-nonfree thats in the repo? [00:11] scottonanski: why dont you just use Gparted already in ubuntu? [00:11] wesolek: try removing all other lines in your interfaces file except the followings: http://paste.stgraber.org/2407 [00:12] thedonvaughn: I have to create a partition on the free space, right? [00:12] odd-rationale, I just installed wpa_supplicant and tried to do it this way, no luck, the terminal is hanging now [00:12] Danish>> This is a way better program, but I need to part from boot cd. [00:12] Danish989, you can boot the livecd and use gpartition [00:12] Danish989: correct. you'll need a swap and a root (/) a minimum. [00:12] Hi, when i press Mercury Messenger, Which i have just installed, It wont load it, does anyone have any ideas? [00:12] Gaim doesn't support the option I suppose.... any ideas for a better IRC client? [00:12] MrStitch: irssi [00:12] MrStitch, xchat [00:12] hi all. i've never used any linux OS before, and what i'm actually hoping to do is not so much use it, but install it for the purpose of donating two old computers with a clean, fresh OS free of all the junk that i accumulated over the years. in addition, i'm hoping/expecting for all data/files to be wiped off the box. would that be the case? is there a way to install ubuntu in such a way that it just reformats everythi [00:12] lready gotten everything off of both boxes that I need, so wiping it clean will not delete anything i need to get back. [00:12] Knoversation [00:13] odd-rationale, ok, and then what? [00:13] konversation^ [00:13] wesolek: restart your networking. [00:13] hello. am looking for some help for a know-nothing i know who is not me, but is trying to get going with linux puppy [00:13] irssi or xchat..... which one would be fairly easy for a newb to grasp [00:13] ij_kaufman: if you just install over your windows partitions on your hdd, you'll accomplish just that. [00:13] Parted Magic is an awesome program. I was very impressed with it the first time. [00:13] How do I check which version of ubuntu I got? [00:13] I think we've lost nickrud ... [00:14] MrStitch: xchat is easier, but I've found irssi to be more flexible [00:14] Anyone here have experience running Ubuntu on a ramdisk? [00:14] Saint`Dia: lsb_release -a [00:14] thanks, I'll be right back with that then.... [00:14] thedonvaughn, can u walk me through that, and or, point me to where i can follow such steps? [00:14] ok done [00:14] MrStitch, probably xchat to start [00:14] i want to be able to run a program i downloaded into XP in linux puppy [00:14] odd-rationale ok done [00:14] ok, got gutsy. [00:14] !ramdisk [00:14] and grab my music files and access them through puppy [00:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about ramdisk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:14] When's the next release coming out? [00:15] ij_kaufman: all you got to do is download an ubuntu iso, burn it. put it in your pc, boot it up and install it. Just chooose the option to use the entire hard drive when it asks. [00:15] Saint`Dia: I think it's on the 24th [00:15] wesolek: try cconnecting with network-manager [00:15] thedonvaughn: how do I create a swap? [00:15] Saint`Dia: ubuntu.com has that information, for the second time. right on the index. [00:15] odd-rationale ok [00:15] Starnestommy: Of this month? Already? Wow. [00:15] awesome. that you sooo much, thedonvaughn [00:16] odd-ratiionale, it won't start the network-manager [00:16] Danish989: create a partition, and for the type "physical space for swap' or something to that nature. [00:16] thedonvaughn: Well, I'm on dialup, you know linuxant's pay modem drivers, and I'm not paying for crap. So 'm limited to 14K, much easier to ask in IRC, know what I mean? [00:16] Danish989: this is all covered in the installation documents by the way. [00:16] anyone know where i can find an irc room on assembly? [00:16] wesolek: you have the networkmanager applet in the tray? [00:16] MacFlecknoe: maybe ##asm [00:17] ill try thanks [00:17] odd-rationale, yes, in the task bar [00:17] ok thanks a lot [00:17] odd-rationale, I will reboot it now, it should be fine after the reboot [00:17] wesolek: what happens if you click it? can you see available networks? [00:18] wesolek: sure. reboot fixes a lot of things sometimes... :) === chryss_ is now known as chryss [00:19] meh? [00:19] Odd.... am I in the correct place? [00:20] odd-rationale, yes I can see available networks now [00:20] Mem: 450880k total, 446380k used, 4500k free, is that healthy ? [00:21] Is there a utility or script to batch create thumbnails from images? [00:21] how do I configure an AX25 port to use my soundcard === oren is now known as owen1 [00:21]  I need some help mounting my external hard drive, for some reason I can't access it. Can anyone help? Please [00:21] By default... Xchat isn't suppose to show all the users in a channel? [00:22] Anyone happen to know anything about xawtv4 for Ubuntu? [00:22] MrStitch: it is, but you can right-click on a channel's tab and uncheck 'show join/part messages' [00:22] reya276: what do you see when you type dmesg ? [00:22] What do i type in terminal to download Java? [00:22] does anybody know a way using compiz and multiple workspaces that i can alt + tab and have it flip through all the windows open in all workspaces, then switch to the workspace that window is on? [00:23] a bunch of stuff [00:23] If GIMP had batch options I'd be in heaven. [00:23] wesolek: can you connect to your network? [00:23] achandrashekar: no that great at discerning this stuff [00:23] how do I configure an AX25 port to use my soundcard [00:23] anyone here know assembly? i have a real simply question and it seems the assembly channels are all dead [00:23] What do i type in Terminal to download Java? [00:23] Alex6691, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [00:23] Thank you. [00:23] or java5 [00:24] Alex6691: you can always sudo aptitude search in this case java. And it's sun-java6-bin or sun-java6-jre [00:24] Starnestommy: Danke! [00:24] achandrashekar: I can pastebin it for you [00:24] odd-rationale, nope but right now I am running on WPA, maybe that's why [00:24] Thanks :)! [00:24] dmsuperman: are you referring to ctrl+alt+ ? [00:24] wesolek: I am connected to a wpa network right now. [00:24] ahhh... it already feels cleaner in here. :0 [00:24] If not xawtv4, what's anyone using to watch DVB tv, that isn't Mythtv? [00:24] odd-rationale, let me just try something (a tutorial) and I will get back to you in few minutes [00:25] wesolek: ok [00:25] It says Java has no installation cadidate. [00:25] how do I configure an AX25 port to use my soundcard [00:25] Alex: Use synaptic. Search for Java. [00:25] odd-rationale, trying this right now http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html [00:26] what is the difference between a primary partition and a logical partition? [00:26] achandrashekar, for me that switches vertically between my workspaces. I have a 2x2 grid of them [00:26] should I choose primary or logical? location for the new partition: beginning or end? and what about mount point? [00:26] http://java.sun.com/ [00:27] dmsuperman: you'll need to switch it to four desktops with compiz if you wish it to rotate.. [00:27] achandrashekar: take a look http://www.pastebin.org/29564 [00:27] Danish989: it's only possible to boot from a primary partition [00:27] A primary partition is the first four partitions. After that, logical must be used. It's a hold over for the way things have always been done. Use either, it doesn't matter. [00:27] achandrashekar, no no. that's not what i meant. I want to be able to alt + tab between windows, and have it show _all_ the windows on _all_ the workspaces [00:27] achandrashekar, so when I select a window on another workspace, it will automatically switch to that window in that workspace [00:28] if I want to have the boot option between xp and ubuntu, I should use primary partition then? [00:28] Anyone here at all watching tv on their workstation? Something in a digital card perhaps? [00:28] and what goes in the ''mount point'' ? [00:28] dmsuperman: ive been able to do that..(or so from what i understand that you are asking) with the ctrl-alt-down arrow key [00:29] achandrashekar, all the ctrl + alt + down keys do it switch to other workspaces [00:29] It says i have to install it though Terminal, so what do i type in terminal because sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre didnt work. [00:29] !pastebin [00:29] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:29] odd-rationale, no luck again [00:29] Danish989: mount point is where you mount the partition. For root you put "/". for swap it won't have one. Btw I'd just choose logical. And you can boot from logical. [00:29] achandrashekar, I want to switch between window focus. the normal way of doing that is alt + tab [00:29] !xawtv4 [00:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about xawtv4 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:29] achandrashekar, but that only switches between the windows in my current workspace [00:29] !xawtv [00:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about xawtv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:30] achandrashekar, i want to switch between windows in all my workspaces [00:30] !klear [00:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about klear - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:30] : It says i have to install it though Terminal, so what do i type in terminal because sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre didnt work. [00:30] wesolek: you can see you network but can't connect to it? [00:30] Alex6691: make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list is in order and sudo apt-get update [00:30] Is Ubuntu subject to the same malware, spyware, and viruses that windows based users get stuck with? [00:30] What do you mean? o_o [00:30] MrStitch: nope. [00:31] reya276: if you go open a console, and then cd to /media [00:31] odd-rationale, yes I can see my network [00:31] I have a question what do I put/write on the syntax part when using pastebin? [00:31] reya276: do you see anything there that shows the drive has been mounted? [00:31] thedonvaugn: Is that because it's written in a different language? [00:31] achandrashekar: the drive is being read by the system, but form some reason it does not allows me to access it, so I can't mounted or it does not auto mount the drive so therefor I can't access it. [00:31] odd-rationale, but when I click on it, I don't even have an option for wpa, only wep [00:31] : It says i have to install it though Terminal, so what do i type in terminal because sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre didnt work. [00:31] MrStitch: if you use wine or windows virtualized it still can get viruses, and it is prone to them if you dualboot with windows [00:31] MrStitch: nope because it's compiled for a different platform. Usually it's a windows .exe executable. That means nothing to linux. [00:31] hello, I know that RhythmBox uses Gstreamer for its audio support, but I can't find any gstreamer plugins for tracked music formats...(still looking though)...does anyone know of a way to get RhythmBox to play these formats, such as XM, MOD, S3M, IT, etc. ? [00:31] MrStitch: virtualized as on the windows part [00:32] MrStitch: gerro is right.. I suppose you could run a windows virus using wine (wine is a windows emulator which does run windows .exe executables) [00:32] odd-rationale, the only place I can see wap option is when I want to create a new network, but that (after putting all the appropirate info) doesn't work either [00:32] achandrashekar: Also when I try to mount it, I get a message that says I have no access to do so yet, I'm the admin for the system === Morales is now known as FelipeMorales [00:32] MrStitch, generally, linux distros are exempt from viruses because A: it's written to be a more secure OS. Windows users generally want it to "just work", and by enabling things to "just work" a lot of things become automated, allowing viruses to slip by. [00:32] I think the Sun has updated their JRE.... [00:32] reya276: are you first sudo su ? [00:32] So.... right now when I boot up my computer, I have the option to choose winblows or Ubuntu... in this scenario, you're saying my computer is still technically a p.o.s.? [00:33] MrStitch, and B: because there are _far_ more windows users than linux users, so it's just more profitable for hackers/spammers to go after the windows base [00:33] reya276: then im wondering if you have to create an entry in fstab for the device [00:33] : It says i have to install it though Terminal, so what do i type in terminal because sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre didnt work. [00:33] hi, any idea why i can't start the login settings manager? it starts to start up but then nothing happens [00:33] MrStitch, Plus, linux users are more likely to know a lot more about what's going on in their system than windows users, so hackers and spammers generally don't bother [00:33] MrStitch: it would have to be one huge exploit for it to somehow write to the ext3 partition if your windows side gets jacked [00:33] reya276: i ran into this a bit a go...and i had to do a google search to mount a device . [00:34] yes [00:34] achandrashekar: yes I am [00:34] I have question for someone nice ..... [00:34] I have a question what do I put/write on the syntax part when using pastebin? [00:34] gerro: or if you're like one of the many people who dual boot, windows will be able toe write to the ext3 partition using a driver you would install for just that purpose [00:34] I see... so, since Ubuntu is on it's own partition, then there is no problem? [00:34] wesolek: well, i'm out of ideas. sorry. I coundn't help more... [00:34] reya276: i remember creating a directory in /media ...then I had to create an entry in fstab....then went about mounting from that point on. [00:34] i've been able to tune my hdtv card with mplayer but i wanted to do it with kaffeine, can someone help me? [00:34] dmsuperman: exactly but you can use different file systems so that complicates the matter [00:34] location for the new partition: beginning or end? [00:34] MrStitch, unless you're allowed windows to see/write to the ubuntu partition, then booting into windows is very unlikely to touch your ubuntu partition in any way [00:35] MrStitch: pretty much none, just hope if windows goes down it don't take ubuntu with it [00:35] right but how do you mount it [00:35] kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file? [00:35] Right so what do i type in terminal to install Java? [00:35] reya: have you tried running that command as sudo? [00:35] Gerro - ROFL.... isn't that the case ALL the time... taking everything with it..hahahha [00:35] Alex6691, "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" should do it [00:35] kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file? [00:36] achandrashekar: the thing is I don't want to loose the existing files on that drive [00:36] MrStitch, not with linux, it's exempt to windows asshattery [00:36] reya276: like this ---in fstab -> /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat defaults 0 0 [00:36] achandrashekar: what is the command to mount the drive [00:36] reya276, have you tried running the mount command with sudo? [00:36] dmsuperman: it says this : Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate [00:36] MrStitch: oh and if you decide to do something crazy like I dunno delete random files in ubuntu, just watch out if your other partition is mounted there you might wipe it :/ [00:36] odd-rationale... maybe crazy quastion, can you pls check this link for me http://paste.stgraber.org/2407 I am just not sure if there should be spaces after -D and after -c in the 3rd line of the WPA point 2 [00:36] Alex6691, "sudo apt-get update" [00:36] whats the easiest way to get files from a windows vista pc to an ubuntu pc? [00:36] dmsuperman: what is the commands? [00:36] MrStitch: that's /media [00:36] over the network, no sneakernet! [00:36] reya276: what that does is creates the ability to manually mount it - take a look here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/manual-mount-external-usb-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-519463/ [00:36] reya276, I don't remember off the top of my head [00:36] Thanks im updatin now. [00:37] kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file? [00:37] Not sure if my winblows can see the linux part... haven't checked that out yet. However, I see that Ubuntu does have access to the windows partition.... I've already grabbed all my MP3's [00:37] Alex6691: heh i told you that about 10 minutes ago. ;) [00:37] odd-rationale, where it says: connect via command line in the WPA Connection - WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK section [00:37] Alex6691, no problem. after you update your lists, run the install java command again and you should be good to go [00:37] thedonvaughn: what is ''location for new partition'' ?? should I choose begining or end? [00:37] Danish989: beginning [00:37] thedonvaughn, it's a proven fact that people in irc channels either don't hear or just don't listen :P [00:37] thedonvaughn: sorry i didnt see :P [00:37] reya276: it would look like this : /dev/sdc1 /media/FOO vfat defaults 0 0 [00:37] Alex6691: yah i'm just bustin your chops :) [00:37] achandrashekar, that's the fstab entry, i think he's trying to do the commandline [00:37] xD [00:38] kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file? [00:38] dmsuperman: yup [00:38] wesolek: wrong link? I don't see what you're asking.. [00:38] thedonvaughn: thanks a lot! [00:38] reya276: then i think you still need to create the directory in /media no? [00:38] reya276, are you trying to edit the fstab or mount it commandline? [00:38] odd-rationale http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684495 it's less than a half way down [00:38] dmsuperman: ahh...im off today with what people are "really" asking... not enough coffee... [00:38] :) [00:38] kaffeine wont scan for channels but is there a way i can use a channels.conf file? [00:38] haha [00:39] !patience | water_foul [00:39] water_foul: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:39] Sounds like I found the holy grail then... er... at least I'm on the right path. Now, I need to figure out how to install it on this other computer as a stand alone Ubuntu machine [00:39] If anyone is a networking expert, I have kind of a bizarre problem. My wireless network card stopped "scanning" and can't see any networks anymore. [00:39] Thanks, Java is installing now :D! [00:39] MrStitch, easy as pie. Insert LiveCD, choose install from the live desktop, and then when you get to partition just choose the guided method [00:39] Alex6691, no problem :D [00:40] dmsuperman: the entry for the drive is already in fstab as I was able to access the drive a couple of days ago [00:40] reya276, but you get permissions errors trying to access the drive? [00:40] Anyone pretty good with ldap? --i have a server that is running very slow with ldap queries..and i need to determine if the database is hosed..any ideas? [00:40] dmsuperman: # /dev/sdc1 [00:40] UUID=FBAE-335E /media/My_Book vfat defaults 0 2 [00:40] reya276, what's the entry in fstab look like? [00:40] reya276:ahhh..okay [00:40] heh [00:40] reya276, remove the # [00:40] dmsuperman: Yeah, I did that with this computer, but having trouble getting there. I'm trying to do it right now so I can relay the exact error message I'm getting.... for some reason the darn comp doesn't want to boot from the CD [00:40] reya276, that comments out the line, so it's ignored :P [00:40] wesolek: in that line. there should be no space after -D and -i e.g. -ieth1 [00:41] reya276, then run "sudo umount -a && mount -a" and it'll re-read the fstab [00:41] Hey, what's the command to reveal uptime? [00:41] MrStitch, open bios and make sure your boot order has the cd first [00:41] Zemus: uptime [00:41] Zemus, uptime [00:41] :P [00:41] i am a bit stumped i just reinstalled ubuntu-server but... for some reason its not picking up that i am connected to my modem [00:41] Thanks. :P [00:41] cable modem that is [00:41] dmsuperman: indeed! the # [00:41] achandrashekar: yes I get the permissions error and in the media folder I see a bunch of "My Book" entries each with an "_" appendend to it for each time I used to access it [00:41] odd-rationale, thanks! [00:41] !font [00:41] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [00:41] which backup tool should i use? [00:41] did that... looking in the bios for other clues... it's a bit different, and I'll get to that in a bit === eau is now known as nixeagle [00:42] reya276, remove the # [00:42] how might i go about setting up the comptuer to connect to the internet? [00:42] reya276: is the # present in fstab? [00:42] dmsuperman: has it right if that is the case. . === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [00:43] dmsuperman: oh man that command just unmonted my other drives and now it says they are busy and won't mount them [00:43] dmsuperman: umount: /: device is busy [00:43] reya276, the command will unmount whatever drives it can. any busy drives it will say it couldn't unmount then, which is fine [00:43] ..ok another question -- (box in question is an ubuntu dapper) --- cron.hourly/daily/weekly vs crontab -- i can not get scripts to run via crontab, its not a path, perms or syntax thing i'm pretty much sure, stuff from crontab/s just wont run! any pointers ? [00:43] reya276, then mount -a to remount and unmounted drives [00:43] reya276, "sudo mount -a" === _boto2 is now known as _boto [00:46] dmsuperman: oh look what I got after that last command "mount: mount point /media/My_Book does not exist" [00:46] reya276, create the folder My_Book in /media [00:46] reya276, "sudo mkdir /media/My_Book" [00:46] Hm. Does anyone know how to get wifi to work on Ubuntu 7.1 (explaining in noob instructions)? [00:46] Here we go... I should have the message in 30 seconds or so [00:46] ohnoesmilk, it's usually pretty self-explanatory. if not, then google your paricular wifi card + "ubuntu" and you will usually get a good guide [00:46] If anyone is a networking expert, I have kind of a bizarre problem. After a restart, my wireless network card stopped "scanning" and can't see any networks anymore. [00:46] ohnoesmilk, a lot of wifi cards work out-of-box, and you just have to go into the networks panel and enable / configure them as usual [00:46] iwlist scan yields eth1 No scan results [00:46] ohnoesmilk:check the chipset your card uses [00:47] dmsuperman: oh but now all the directories are locked [00:47] reya276, the directories in your mounted drive? [00:48] Question: Im trying to organize my music and I want to fix all the (IDE?) tags or whatever they are called, i try to right click on the file and edit like in windows but it doesn't let me, does anyone know how i can do this? [00:48] dmsuperman: yes, I want all the directories in that drive to be accessible to anyone who logs in to this PC [00:48] dmsuperman: as my wife access this PC too [00:48] hi [00:48] would someone help me to connect my ubuntu pc to my Windows pc? [00:48] how to install ubuntu in chroot? without a cdrom .. [00:49] I set up a samba file server on a P3 500MHz 256MB box and sometimes I am under the impression that the transfer speed between server and other machines could be faster if the box was better. Is it just an illusion or is my box a discernable bottleneck ? [00:49] it's probably part of your fstab entry [00:49] i don't remember the exact command [00:49] norty: sudo apt-get install easytag [00:49] how do I set up a samba server? [00:49] Ok, here we go - [ 243.330499] ata1: port failed to respond (30 secs, Status 0xd0) [00:49] but instead of defaults, it should be "defaults,umask=0000" or _something_ like that. i don't think it's umask, but it's something like that [00:49] anybody else remember what it is? [00:49] up til now...samba !@#$ing sucks [00:49] Lake: the only thing that will be slowing you down is potentially your disc subsystem. [00:49] imaginativeone: if you right click on a folder, is ther ea sharing options option? [00:50] Then, right after that, it keeps giving all kinds of other error messages.... odd tho, cause I thought I told it to install to the scsi drives, but it's trying for the ata drive? [00:50] in windows? [00:50] Lake: On the hardware you describe it's probably some old slow PATA setup. [00:50] yacc: what do you mean by 'disc subsystem' ? [00:50] yes it was umask077 [00:50] yacc: oh yes it is ! [00:50] imaginativeone: no, in ubuntu [00:50] reya276, make it 000, umask is the reverse of ubuntu perms [00:50] Lake: Basically, you should verify that you have at least DMA support for your IDE controller/disc. [00:50] reya276, the numbers are what operations to disallow [00:50] yacc: so it's not the cpu itself, it's the PATA [00:50] reya276, i'm almost 100% sure at least [00:50] Lake: hdparm should tell you tht. [00:51] imaginativeone: but if you have a shared folder in windows and its on the same network as ubuntu, you should be able to browse to it [00:51] battle for wesnoth!...lol [00:51] Lake: IDE/ATA comes in a number of levels of "hellness". [00:51] magicrobotmonkey: where do I look for that? [00:51] yacc: less is better ? [00:51] dmsuperman: ok it used to have umask=077 [00:52] reya276, yeah, it should be either umask=0007 or umask=0000, depending on how you want it. [00:52] reya276, but 0007 should be fine for local users [00:52] reya276, then once you edit it, remount the drives [00:52] dmsuperman: ah ok then [00:52] Lake: well, run hdparm -d /dev/hda <= that will tell if your hardware at least uses DMA. [00:52] reya276, "sudo umount -a" " sudo mount -a" [00:52] yacc: all right, one second [00:53] whats the edit command in xubuntu [00:53] dmsuperman: I got an error "[mntent]: line 12 in /etc/fstab is bad" [00:53] gedit dont work [00:53] UBUNTUJAY123: mousepad [00:53] Lake: and you should probably check first the docs if hdparm -d does not destroy your hardware :-P (no it does not, but sometimes there are joksters around :-p) [00:53] try [00:53] post that line [00:55] dmsuperman: I'll post the whole fstab file [00:55] pastebin it [00:55] it still didnt work [00:55] yacc: whats the command used to bring up connected drives ? [00:55] UBUNTUJAY123, try vim or nano [00:55] UBUNTUJAY123, they're command line editors [00:56] Lake: I remember once when a colleague and me were quite irritated by the "root" at a customers installation, and while waiting for the email round trip painted out ways to make that stupid MSCE execute rm -Rf without us being implicated by the email. [00:56] Lake: connected drives? [00:56] how do I connect to windows? [00:56] imaginativeone, what do you mean "connect" [00:56] dmsuperman: http://www.pastebin.org/29568 [00:56] yacc: well I want to list the drives that buntu sees [00:56] Lake: mount [00:57] dmsuperman: I would like to transfer files to/from my XP machine [00:57] awn manager just dissappears when i opne it [00:57] open [00:57] imaginativeone, install samba, and then you can just setup network shares [00:57] yacc: /dev/sdb5, thats all I get returned [00:57] dmsuperman: that is WORK [00:58] samba is damn near impossible for a newbie [00:58] imaginativeone, ? [00:58] imaginativeone, it's _cake_ to use [00:58] LOL [00:58] dmsuperman: did you see the pastebin link [00:58] yacc: I am thinking rm -R isn't a nice thing to do :P [00:58] kinda like a Ferrari [00:58] there's a quick little gui, you choose which folders to share, and whether to allow write access or not [00:58] cake to use, but I'll be damned if I figure out the basics [00:59] imaginativeone: it's not that hard ! I am a newbie and it worked :P [00:59] reya276, i'm not sure what the field is for, what is it? i always use 0... [00:59] cool...is there a guide? [00:59] imaginativeone, like i said, choose folders to share, choose if they should be allowed write access, click save [00:59] imaginativeone: just edit the smb.conf file and thats the most of it [00:59] and don't tell me O'Reilly [00:59] dmsuperman: oh I do not know anything about this [00:59] imaginativeone: or use the GUI dmsuperman says, its even better :) [00:59] reya276, try 0, it's always worked for me and even the guide i was reading said they don't know what it's for and to just use 0 :P [00:59] where is that gui? [01:00] magicrobotmonkey, thanks [01:00] imaginativeone, System -> Administration -> Shared Folders [01:00] dmsuperman: put 0 where in umask? [01:00] while..we're at it... what is the "preferred" methodology of sharing folders between linux boxes? nfs?samba? or ssh-keys then a mount of some sort? [01:00] you can use SWAT or Webmin to set up Samba. Not too bad [01:00] reya276, as the last field, where it's 2 right now [01:00] yacc: so any ideas on what to do when the output I got it /dev/sdb5: [01:00] dmsuperman: oh ok [01:01] hey I have made a guide I need someone to look it over its for dual booting windows/ubuntu [01:01] if I upgrade from7.10 to 8.04 do I have to reinstall the upgrade? [01:01] does anybody know if it'll be a problem to install windows xp into my empty ntfs partition on the same hard drive as my currently installed ubuntu? I know I'll have to re-install grub, but will that be the only problem? [01:02] you guys rock [01:02] it is installing samba for me?? [01:02] imaginativeone, it's what we're here for 8-) [01:02] imaginativeone, yup, quick and easy [01:02] Shadow420, where's that guide at? [01:03] dmsuperman: that 0 thing got rid of the error output but I still can't access the drive [01:03] dmsuperman II have it on my desktop I haven't submitted it yet [01:03] reya276, looking, i didn't even notice. you never changed your umask. make it umask=0007 [01:03] dmsuperman: it says that the only one who has acess is root [01:04] reya276, that will give everybody on your local machine access [01:04] Shadow420, upload it :D [01:04] in regards to stability.... is Ubuntu more stable than windows? [01:04] dmsuperman do you want me to pastebin it? [01:04] MrStitch, definitely [01:04] hi everyone, my friend burned me a data CD but my computer thinks that it is an audio CD, wut do i do? [01:04] Shadow420, sure, however you want [01:04] dmsuperman: I did that but I still get this "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "My_Book" [01:05] it still needs to be edited and simplified for real new people to dual-booting [01:05] Lake: What output? Beside you should probably be running it on /dev/sdb :-P [01:05] how can I get thumbnails for .PSD images to show up, like they do for most other formats? [01:05] reya276, 1: Upload your current /etc/fstab, as it is right this second, to pastebin [01:05] OMG...you guys REALLY rock [01:05] What if a buddy gives me a cd, or flash drive with some files on it.... like an Excel spreadsheet, mp3's, etc.... will Ubuntu know what to do with that data? [01:05] Lake: *shucks* hdparm does not know about DMA on SCSI devices :( [01:06] hey hey [01:06] imaginativeone, no problem :D [01:06] MrStitch: yes [01:06] hmm it's not sending [01:06] MrStitch, sure [01:06] !pastebin [01:06] 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) [01:06] nice [01:06] Shadow420, It wouldn't let me accept [01:06] can I share my DVD writer? [01:06] yacc, isn't DMA for IDE drives? [01:06] hai all [01:06] dmsuperman: http://www.pastebin.org/29572 [01:06] dmsuperman I will paste bin it [01:06] imaginativeone, that I'm not sure, I haven't tried. I'm not sure it would be a great idea, it would probably be pretty slow [01:07] I can't play dvds [01:07] reya276, did you remount? [01:07] !dvd | style23 [01:07] style23: 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 [01:07] dmsuperman: yes [01:07] dmsuperman: yes, but you get SCSI devices out of IDE devices nowadays. [01:07] i have a damaged disk, when i insert it (USB) it gets mounted automatically, and then i can not unmount it anymore ("cannot eject") how do i prevent it from mounting automatically ? i just want to run ddrescue on it, it doesnt have to be mounted for that... thanks [01:07] hi friend [01:07] I really need help setting up a my network card/internet for 7.10 fresh install...I can't update without it :P [01:07] reya276, then I haven't got a clue what the problem is, you'll have to wait for someone more knowledgeable :( [01:07] dmsuperman http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63122/ [01:08] how do I make a swap partition? [01:08] Danish989, the installer for ubuntu will help you make it, if you're installing it. i'm not sure how after the fact though [01:08] If anyone is a networking expert, I have kind of a bizarre problem. After a restart, my wireless network card stopped "scanning" and can't see any networks anymore. [01:08] iwlist scan yields eth1 No scan results [01:08] Danish989, you'll need to boot the live cd to do it , you can't do it on a running hard drive [01:08] Are there any web-browser-based viruses/malware/spyware that I would be vulnerable to?? [01:08] Shadow420, alright, first off that first sentence is quite possibly the longest run-on sentence i've ever seen in my life :P [01:09] how can I get psd files to show up as thumbnails in nautilus? [01:09] I did boot the live cd, and im installing ubuntu right now, I made a new partition and mounted it at "/" and I have 509MB left, how do I put that in a swap partition? [01:09] MrStitch, It's dumb to say that you'll be invincible, but it's very unlikely [01:09] Julolidine: I know this a stupidly obvious question..but you didnt accidently bump into the wireless network switch present on many laptops did you? [01:09] Danish989, create a new partition in that space, and choose type swap [01:09] dmsuperman well english wasn't my best subject in school [01:09] for the filesystem i mean, choose swap [01:10] achandrashekar, there isn't a network switch on the laptop [01:10] Julolidine: k..had to ask.. :) [01:10] Someone help? With 7.10 fresh install getting internet to work [01:10] I cant choose swap it just says primary and logic, no swap [01:10] I don't know how to get the network card going [01:10] dmsuperman, I agree, that nothing is impossible. I'm just trying to get the basics here. I understand that ANYTHING is possible. [01:10] ds_, was kind of internet ? [01:10] DSl [01:10] Hi, does anyone know how to generate a /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file with the ubuntu live cd? i need it to replace the one on my hdd installation, since audio only works with the live cd, and not the full installation. [01:10] DSL..I know the internet works [01:10] just...fresh install on this other comp [01:10] ds_, you have your password and username ? [01:11] for the internet service yes [01:11] dmsuperman well this is a way to bypass the use of a system rescue cd or using windows CD to fix the MBR [01:11] can someone send me a message to test beeping? [01:11] Through Centurytel [01:11] ds_, tourter or directly conected to the dsl model ? [01:11] MrStitch, but yeah, more than likely you'll never run into any sort of malware. I've never heard of any at least. Mac got it's first major malware/spyware/virus a few months ago, and i haven't heard of anything for linux yet [01:11] * PzyBorG is hoping that will fix my audio problem. [01:11] What about Javascript based baddies.... Java is suppose to be a cross-platform kind of thing, isn't it? Would I be at risk of those? [01:11] directly [01:11] s/my/his [01:11] ds_, open a terminal windows and type sudo pppoeconf [01:11] dmsuperman: I was missing this "gid=46" and now I can read/write the files on the drive [01:11] Shadow420, you realize that many people don't have floppies? [01:12] reya276, congrats :D [01:12] dmsuperman: thanks [01:12] reya276, no problems [01:12] MrStitch I wouldn't worry to much [01:12] can someone send me a message please? i am testing it? [01:12] ok [01:12] I typed the command [01:12] how can I get psd files to show up as thumbnails in nautilus? [01:12] dmsuperman well when I get my new computer it will have a floppy drive [01:12] wow... so, for the most part - I'm about 95-99% guarded against the usual junk out there? [01:12] Need a little help customizing a script, how can I change http://www.wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CURL any of those to allow me to enter the URL rather than having it fixed in the .php? [01:13] Eth0, Eth1, Eth0 : avah [01:13] You're lucky. my new mobo that's coming in 2 days doesn't even have a floppy header [01:13] MrStitch, pretty much [01:13] Thanks... and darn... I got that same dang error message again. [01:13] nickrud: Sorry, I must have missed your comment earlier about my sources.list [01:13] littlepinkdot, using mod_rewrite in apache will accomplish that [01:13] ds_, let it pick it [01:14] amenado, hey ive narrowed my vnc probelm to ssh [01:14] Draconicus was away for a while, did you paste a new version [01:14] i just dont know what in it would cause this [01:14] MrStitch, what's the error msg ? [01:14] dmsuperman well once I figure out the proper way to make a personal grub CD then I will make a guide for that [01:14] littlepinkdot, try like RewriteEngine on [01:14] RewriteRule ^(.+?)$ index.php?args=$1 [01:14] in your .htaccess [01:15] MrStitch, one of your primary protections is not being in Administrator mode like most windows users.. also "bugs" have to understand your system to do things.. they like windows. [01:15] ata1 failed to respond. gunna switch something in the bios and see if I can get a different message. [01:15] dmsuperman, how exactly does that help me? [01:15] * Pelo reads what dmsuperman just typed and his jaw drops [01:15] hey guys im trying to vnc through ssh,(from putty to my linux box), i have no problem on other machines iwth the same setup, but on my one machine in particular, i cant connect through vnc, it tells me connection initialized and then it stops [01:15] littlepinkdot, that will redirect all requests to a folder to index.php?args=WHATEVER [01:15] so [01:15] ive narrowed it down to it being something with my ssh, putty settings are ok and so are vnc [01:16] but what in ssh would cause me not to connect [01:16] yourhost.com/ASDF/CHEESE will load index.php?args=ASDF/CHEESE [01:16] then you could explode on / [01:16] hey, has anyone else had problems with Java stuff on the web freezing up? [01:16] and get each part [01:16] Pelo: simple regular expressions :P [01:16] dmsuperman, heh not what I wanted to accomplish, thanks though. [01:16] zoople, with flash stuff but not java [01:16] Pelo, [01:16] littlepinkdot, oh, thought you were after pretty urls [01:16] ds_, ? [01:16] ah ok Pelo, my flash is fine [01:16] I said it scanned 3 intercaees, but the concentrator did not respond [01:16] zoople, no, java works fine for me [01:16] But it is connected [01:17] like, youtube it totally ok..but when i go to a java based chatroom, its really really slow and sometimes have to force quit [01:17] both computers (this and his ) are to the same gateway [01:17] zoople, try making sure you have the latest java. go to the java website and get the latest jre [01:17] you are connected to the net ? you can surf ? be happy [01:17] what version of java and browser u using? [01:17] dmsuperman so until then this for people who have computers with a floppy drive [01:17] dmsuperman, after making a script utilizing cURL to download files directly to the server [01:17] ds_, are youusing a bridge modem or a router/modem ? with two comps connecetd to it ? [01:17] Pelo [01:17] Oh [01:17] ds_, put my nick in the same line as the rest [01:18] Shadow420, well for that purpose it works :D [01:18] ds_, basicaly the command I gave you was for a bridge modem , ei one that only does the connecting and can only have one comp on it.

I mean... as part of the protection? [01:19] MrStitch, yes.. [01:19] e [01:19] How do I install USB drivers with CD? [01:19] ds_, ah, not sure how that works, I think it's a bridge modem and you can'T realy have two comps on it at once, even if therer are technicaly two connectors, you'll need a router [01:20] arg... same error again: ata1: port failed to respond (30 secs, Status 0xd0) [01:20] ds_, try looking up the modem's model in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [01:21] Pelo it shoudl work...This comp is dual boot Kubuntu/XP, his was XP...it worked well when I was either and his was XP...so if my comp can work - How can he install USB drivers if he has the CD [01:21] Well.... anyways.

[01:22] Pelo yes [01:23] ds_, put the cd in , copy the linux driver over to the desktop , see if there is a Read me file in it to tell you how to install [01:23] PzyBorG, doesn the live cd make one ?

I now have some 40 jack-related packages instead of the measly handful I found before. Much better. [01:30] christoz, what's the ctl on the end.. I don't remember that.. but it's been a while. [01:30] can't [01:30] its say [01:30] bouma, we'll pass it on [01:31] could not find packages [01:31] Scunizi by this command i can start and and stop apache from any path [01:31] mrkeishii, use synaptic, do a search for keywords [01:31] Why is the mplayer version in Gusty (With the gusty-updates repo enabled) so old? It's using mplayer version 1.0r1, which was released in 2006. A newerversion was released in 2007. Is there a easy we to get the updated version? [01:31] I just want to install AWN Dock [01:31] whenever i try to install, uninstall or do anything with synaptic i get a jde error [01:31] christoz, without the /etc/yada/yada? [01:32] but the problem is that I use the sudo apt-get install awn [01:32] mrkeishii, do a search on google there is a special repos for ubuntu for it [01:32] but it says that there is no packages [01:32] Scunizi yes [01:32] yeah [01:32] Scunizi without [01:32] but i have a hard time installing them [01:32] mrkeishii, sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator [01:32] oh [01:32] okay [01:32] mrkeishii, np [01:32] usser, beat me to it [01:32] hi, i have found a bunch of files in ~/.local/share/Trash which look like files I deleted (or thought were deleted) a long while back. Can anyone explain what they're doing there, and if I can just delete them from here?

[01:35] nickrud: I know, but fusion is a lot heavier on the resources and my poor old computer can't handle some of its nifty features. Disabling them doesn't make them go away - it only stops their graphical stuff. [01:35] Draconicus how to you active decryption [01:35] hi, I use "Connect to server ..." to connect a SSH server and I can't acces a directory with "drwxrws---" permissions. The user is member of the group and with scp there are no problems. [01:35] in synaptic, what does the ubuntu icon mean, when next to a package ? does that mean its a recommended version ? [01:35] Pelo: yeah, and a lot of the files are from utorrent, which runs under wine, so it makes sense [01:35] Draconicus beryl at your own risk then [01:35] Pelo: I deleted them :) [01:36] whenever i try to install, uninstall or do anything with synaptic i get a jde error [01:36] hi.

Heh. Are you on a Mac? [01:38] what is the lightest weight ubuntu version out?

[01:39] Jangari, some mobo can let you specify actions for suspend power keys on keyboard [01:39] Jangari: No, I mean, that's a very silly thing to expect Ubuntu to do, seeing as Ubuntu is not running until it's on.

[02:01] bouma: ah, ok.. you can try the reinstall trick by TwinX but you can't really do much if the rest of the stuff is prerequisites [02:02] tried, but rejected by ubuntu [02:03] So the shared folder in Ubuntu does have the write permission checked then [02:03] * Pelo wonders why , since OSX is based on BSD, can't itune be simply ported to linux [02:03] Pelo: hahaha [02:03] * ravi laughs at the thought of Apple being open [02:03] Pelo you're funny [02:04] ravi, could just be a binary [02:04] Is anyone here familiar with MythTV on Ubuntu? [02:04] Pelo, because of Cocoa [02:04] cocoaaaaaaaaa puffs [02:04] Pelo, Apple only ported it to windows so they could get into the huge windows user base with the iPod and online music sales [02:04] Pelo, They make good products, but they're just as silly as Microsoft [02:05] and because Apple are strongly against any sort of open standards, they are worse than Microsoft in that regard [02:05] Draconicus, Lucky guess.... bbl.. gotta start dinner.. I got him well on his way with that game box [02:05] dmsuperman, I don,t think they are good but they are pretty [02:05] Has anybody ever used notepad++ in windows? [02:05] yes dmsuperman [02:05] dmsuperman: yep [02:05] Cahan, do you know a good linux alternative? [02:05] I tried bluefish but it just doesn't have the same features as notepad++ [02:05] dmsuperman: do you have any idea how I can uninstall a compiled driver [02:05] dmsuperman, geany [02:05] dmsuperman, you no like gedit ? [02:05] dmsuperman: vim [02:05] Pelo, lol [02:06] dmsuperman, or kate [02:06] dmacnutt: if you don't want to move, you can go with notepad++ in Wine [02:06] leafpad? [02:06] ubuntu is a good alternative to linux if that is what you meant by linux alternative [02:06] emacs, best of all [02:06] bruenig, I need a mouse for my editing [02:06] dmsuperman, stop laughing at me and look in the menues [02:06] dmsuperman: sorry, look at above message for dmacnutt [02:06] bruenig you are funny ;) [02:06] bruenig, go back to #archlinux , we told you to stop trolling in here [02:06] Pelo, does it have tabs, syntax highlighting, collapsible code blocks, regular expression find and replace? [02:06] Pelo: you know I love ubuntu, come on [02:07] Pelo, and as far as apple products, they aren't good for you or I but for the people they're designed for, they're fantastic [02:07] dmsuperman, yes on tabs, yes on syntax and replace, not sure about the other one [02:07] Cahan, thanks for the suggestions I'll try those out [02:07] Pelo: I like my iPhone just fine [02:07] * nickrud is sad that many people now think of ubuntu as linux, even though he loves ubuntu [02:07] genay has these first three, not sure about regex search and replace [02:07] hahaha [02:07] Pelo, reg exp find / replace, and collapsible code blocks? [02:07] bruenig, I saw you trolling on diggs in the ubuntu threads as well, [02:07] * bruenig is happy ubuntu is a vacuum for such people [02:07] nickrud, I feel the same about mIRC and IRC [02:07] anyone want to answer a dual boot question? [02:07] Pelo, collapsible blocks aren't necessary but regexp is [02:08] test [02:08] hyphen: I do [02:08] dmsuperman, thjere is a find replace , but I don'T know about the collapsable thing , have a look [02:08] dmsuperman, I'M not a coder [02:08] bruenig: poor boy.. go run your ./configure make make installs all night if you would like :) [02:08] how many buntu we have now? [02:09] Pelo: can you help me solve an issue, I'm having, I followed these (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4253232&postcount=133) steps to compile and install these drivers for my wacom tablet but I realize that I do not need them, can you show me how to undo this? [02:09] ravi: ? arch is binary [02:09] goodspeed, 6 I think [02:09] wow [02:09] hyphen: you had a question? [02:09] Pelo, wow, I assumed that since it was the default editor it wouldn't have all these features [02:09] ok cool... 2 drives... primary with winxp second with ubuntu. I need to dual boot these two operating systems without reinstalling anything and with MINIMAL changes made to the winxp drive. What is the best coarse of action? [02:09] bruenig: heheh.. for 4 progs? [02:09] Pelo, pretty nice :D [02:09] bruenig: assuming the package your after is actually packaged! [02:09] hyphen: you already have ubuntu installed on the second drive? [02:09] *course [02:09] yes [02:09] Does anyone know why my Ubuntu goes to a BusyBox mode when I click to install it on the Splash screen? [02:09] Pelo: I went into the Hardy (Ubuntu+1) but they won't help me [02:09] goodspeed, hold on , let me cound u k x e , that is 4, blue, flux, that makes 6, CE SE, that's 8, studio 9 , [02:10] holy CRAP is this a lot better than i thought [02:10] I'm trying to design a site locally, but only need Javascript, no PHP or databases. I thought the browser handled JS parsing, but Firefox won't run any JS locally. Is there an easy way to solve this? [02:10] I get this error [02:10] reya276, what was the issue ? [02:10] Pelo, yet again I love you :P [02:10] * Pelo forgives dmsuperman for doudting him [02:10] Pelo: I need to remove a wacom compiled driver [02:10] Pelo, doubting* [02:10] mosno: ? [02:11] * Pelo does not forgive the spelling correction [02:11] [132.633717] revalidation failed (errno=-5) [02:11] haha [02:11] Pelo: due to this my wacom does not work properly [02:11] That's what I get [02:11] So can anyone help me out? [02:11] reya276, ouch, that's a bit over my head [02:11] would using ntldr be the best attack? [02:11] reya276, jsut removing the module from modprobe doesn't do it ? [02:11] mosno: how many packages minus -devs, -headers, and metapackages do you suppose you have? [02:11] Pelo: how do I do that? [02:11] LOL Pelo [02:11] but holy crap is that pink font annoying [02:11] hyphen: You need to install a bootloader. Have you done that before? [02:11] hyphen, ? [02:12] no but I can try [02:12] uh... [02:12] hyphen: NTLDR or Grub are probably your best bets [02:12] reya276, hyphen does not agree, he probabaly knows better ten I do [02:12] Pelo... the nonforgivness of the spelling correctioon [02:12] Does anyone know why my Ubuntu goes to a BusyBox mode when I click to install it on the Splash screen? [02:12] hyphen, ah [02:12] I get this error [02:12] [132.633717] revalidation failed (errno=-5) [02:12] I know nothing [02:12] klol [02:12] hyphen, just install grub, point it at your ubuntu and xp partitions, and you're set [02:12] can someone help me use git? im totally lost... [02:13] so winxp on the primary wont cause issues? [02:13] Anyone know if I need to install LAMP to run Javascript locally? [02:13] nixnoob: Git has a steep learning curve. What do you want to do? [02:13] reya276, lsmod to see the module list, find the one you need to remove, and then sudo modprobe -r modulename ( man modprobe for the corect option I'M not sure -r is the right one ) [02:13] hyphen: They are one separate drives correct? [02:13] im pretty sure grub in installed on the secondary already... [02:13] back [02:13] hyphen, no. [02:13] * Pelo lost track of what it was doing [02:13] imrook, i just want to be able to download libusb-1.0 from git and compile it for myself.... i kno how to compile but not how to get it from git? [02:13] 2 seperate drives... NOT partitions [02:13] * bruenig lost track of what Pelo was doing [02:14] hyphen, I just install GRUB to my MBR and point it at each [02:14] ok so mbr on primary winxp drive [02:14] hyphen: what dmsuperman said, install grub, edit menu.lst [02:14] who wanted help with GIT ? there is a #git channel [02:14] hyphen: If you're going to use NTLDR, you'll need GRUB installed on your /boot partition and configure Win to chainload to GRUB. [02:14] is there a boot command that turns off one of my cores? [02:14] can I change the owner of my entire ubuntu machine? [02:14] Tell me please powerful two-panel file manage with many features, like Total Commander for Windows. [02:14] got ya\ [02:14] imrook, heres the website where it tells the git repo but if i do git-fetch it says its not a git repo.... http://libusb.wiki.sourceforge.net/page/diff/Libusb1.0?v=144109 [02:14] Francesco, what ? [02:14] I did read an article about that but it was so outdated [02:14] Francesco: midnight commander [02:14] Trying to enable broadcom firmware. It says the software source for the package bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled. Advice? [02:14] nixnoob: You'll use git clone git://someurl somedir [02:15] hyphen, just google "ubuntu livecd grub" [02:15] CorbinFox, try researching that in the forum www.ubuntutorums.org [02:15] ok i'll look into that, thank you guys [02:15] i think the first result should set you straight for installing it, and pointing it to your ubuntu [02:15] ubuntuforums [02:15] oh so I can do it from a live cd? [02:15] Shpook: Javascript isn't a part of L(ynux)A(pache)M(ySQL)P(HP) [02:15] way cool [02:15] P doesn't necessary mean PHP [02:15] hyphen, then just edit menu.lst and add a record for xp [02:15] How about GUI file manager? [02:15] gui? [02:15] Pelo: fine, make me not be lazy :P [02:15] ok sweet thank you [02:15] bruenig: OK... P(ython) :) [02:16] ok that removed the wacom module [02:16] Francesco: not with that kind of power [02:16] Pelo: ok that removed the wacom module [02:16] Francesco, check in add/remove , you'll be surprised what is available [02:16] imrook, you are the man thanks [02:16] reya276, ;-) [02:16] np [02:16] Trying to enable broadcom firmware. It says the software source for the package bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled. Advice? [02:16] I think the assumption is if you are using gui, you are not interested in such confusing things as features [02:16] scottyL, Javascript is in the Apache portion. It serves up HTML pages, which can include JavaScript and CSS [02:16] scottyL: That I knew, but someone else suggested it to me. I figured that since the browser is what parses JS, then it should work locally. [02:16] reya276, I think there is away to blacklist it so it doesn't get readded when you boot again , check in the manpage for modprobe [02:16] Has anyone used MythTV's nuvexport? [02:17] scottyL, and of course PHP to help edit your HTML pages, but the common factor is Apache [02:17] imrook, I think there is a mythtv channel [02:17] are there any rules on ctcping in here? I am interested to see what irc clients people are using [02:17] dmsuperman: Wlel, that's what I get for trying to address questions :) [02:17] I have a big problem .. I just installed ubuntu and now when my computer starts it says Loading Grub Error 22 [02:17] and then it just stops there .. what do I do?? [02:17] * CoasterMaster doesn't know the rules about ctcping, but he is using Xchat [02:17] how do I get access to the permissions? [02:17] bruenig, yes the rule is donT [02:17] hmm [02:18] !rules [02:18] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:18] bruenig, LjL banned someone for it eariler [02:18] scottyL, heh, just sticking my head into places it doesn't belong. I'm a web programmer, so I always feel the need to butt into web scripting convos haha [02:18] danish you may be running hardware not compatible with hubuntu [02:18] Pelo: Yes there is, but my problem seems to be specific to Ubuntu. Some progs that are distributed with MythTV source appear to be missing from the mythtv-common Ubuntu package. I'm wondering if there's another package I need to install to get them. I think that puts my issue firmly in Ubuntu territory. [02:18] hmm it does mention ctcps, odd [02:18] I'm on from the ubuntu live cd right now === nomical is now known as nomi1 [02:18] Here's a timeless question: I got some win games that I wanna play on my ubuntu box..... is that possible? [02:18] Pelo: Thanks, I will remove the wacom tools from synaptics and see if I can then re-install the repo ones [02:18] imrook, there are mythtv repos for ubuntu I beleive, [02:18] imaginativeone, in the same Shared Folders panel, there's a checkbox for write access [02:19] !wine | MrStitch [02:19] MrStitch: 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. [02:19] !mythtv | reya276 [02:19] reya276: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [02:19] MrStitch: It is indeed possible with wine [02:19] mrstich there are dos emulators and windows emulators the windows emulator is called 'wine' [02:19] I installed ubuntu on this computer and I was already running windows xp, I wanted a dual boot system, but now the first thing I get is "Loading GRUB Error 22" and nothing happens after that .. what is the matter? [02:19] Danish989, It's pointing to the wrong partition [02:19] bruenig, a CTCP alerts you (with sounds, etc) on a few client, doing it to the channel is frowned upon, sorry [02:19] Pelo: Yeah, I've already been there with no luck. [02:19] application compatibility? such as....? [02:19] oh are there beeps involved? [02:19] dmsuperman, what do I do? [02:19] Danish989, your menu.lst needs to point to your Ubuntu partition, and it's currently not [02:19] MrStitch, it lets you run Windows programs under Linux [02:20] ok so what do I do? [02:20] imrook, did you do a search in the repos using synaptic ? [02:20] Trying to enable broadcom firmware. It says the software source for the package bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled. Advice? [02:20] MrStitch, I have RollerCoaster Tycoon and SimCity 4 running in wine and it works pretty well [02:20] Danish989, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [02:20] mrstich try it [02:20] Orbixx|Mob: edit /etc/apt/sources.list, enable the sources [02:20] Danish989, Follow those directions [02:20] most things work fine [02:20] Pelo:I used apt [02:20] Not on a working internet connection. [02:20] Is it pretty stable, or is it kind of hit 'n miss on some games? [02:20] As wireless is down. [02:20] Does anyone know of a technique I could use where I could tag open windows with a shortcut so I could quickly switch between apps by going ctrl-alt-1, ctrl-alt-2, etc? [02:20] !appdb [02:20] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [02:20] MrStitch, games are almost always not going to work [02:20] MrStitch, depends on the game, but the Wine website has a list of programs that work and don't work [02:20] imrook, do you have a gui , try with synaptic it wiill just make the search easier, you can install with apt after if you want [02:21] Pelo: trying right now [02:21] TheComrade: not in gnome, the only wms that have that sort of feature that I know of are tiling window managers like dwm, awesome, xmonad, etc. [02:21] dmsuperman, thanks! [02:21] Is it the direct X thing that's causing problems? [02:21] Danish989, no problem :D [02:21] MrStitch, amongst other thing [02:21] i see [02:22] MrStitch, It's hard to get a windows program running in ubuntu to begin with, but as the programs get larger and larger and more and more complicated, the less likely they are to run in wine [02:22] heya dudes. burning iso to cd now oooooo excited haha [02:22] bruenig: Thanks. I just find it really bizarre that this sort of thing doesn't exist. [02:22] And I suppose the game would have to be completely re-written in order for it to work [02:22] MrStitch, the wine ppl need to retro engineer windows basicaly , it's takes a lot of efffort [02:22] MrStitch, things as simple as notepad++ even have their quirks [02:22] TheComrade: it is gnome, that is to be expected [02:22] MrStitch, generally, yes [02:22] I got SimCity 4 working in wine and it runs pretty well aside from a few graphical glitches [02:22] Pelo, do you know how I can change the colors of the syntax highlighting in gedit? [02:22] Pelo, hot pink is not a very attractive color to look at :P [02:23] dmsuperman: check the menu [02:23] bruenig: I would settle if even the normal task switcher would not re-order the window order [02:23] dmsuperman, Edit -> Preferences -> Fonts & Colors [02:23] I see. So there just needs to be more support. How many Ubuntu users do you think are out there? [02:23] dmsuperman, no sorry , but it does colour code for several languages [02:23] TheComrade: use another window manager, problem solved [02:23] MrStitch, it's a tough thing to write.....and they've been writing it for almost 15 years [02:23] dmsuperman, check in menu > display > coloration [02:23] CoasterMaster, Is there a way to edit each color and font for every part of the syntax? or do i just get to use the color packs? [02:24] guys can we move the wine / discussion to the #Ubuntu-offtopic room [02:24] bruenig: That will be what I'll have to do, though in that case I'll probably go back to Gentoo, if I'm going to lose the easy eye candy anyway. [02:24] Or even to #winehq [02:24] dmsuperman, there's a way to load custom schemes so I'd imagine there's a way to do it [02:24] Jack_Sparrow, no we cannot ,sorry you'll have to move the rest to #ubuntu-offtopic yourself [02:24] i thought games used like DOS4GW [02:24] booted off the disk [02:25] nothing to do with windows [02:25] Jack: Actually, it pertained here.... for my purposes. I'm just now learning more about Ubuntu, and I'm literally on day 2 with the software. [02:25] TheComrade: good diea [02:25] CoasterMaster, Alright, I'll look where it keeps it's default themes for reference. Thanks :D [02:25] Pelo, behave. [02:25] Pelo, lol [02:25] dmsuperman, you might want to check out https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+question/14370 as well [02:25] TheComrade: if you like binary packages though, should give arch a shot [02:25] MrStitch, understood. but you are not asking for help getting it to work or for help with a specific problem [02:25] I want to know why it is that floodbot gets to constantly flood the channel without kicking itself [02:25] exactly [02:25] * Pelo has downloaded and watch 4 crappy movies today he's not in a mood [02:25] stop flooding floodbot! [02:26] Pelo: theft?!? [02:26] How do I install vmware for Gutsy? [02:26] bruenig, yes [02:26] Pelo, Check out American Daze. It's on Netflix Instant View [02:26] * bruenig is disappointed in hair [02:26] Gatestone, check in add remove there is vmware-server [02:26] ok one more quick one. I have grub installed. And looking at the menu.lst there is no entry for windows and ubuntu is listed as hd0,0 so that means ubuntu is on my primary, correct? and I had it reversed [02:26] gatestone theres probably a README on the disk [02:26] * dmsuperman thinks back to the private convo Pelo and I had yesterday [02:26] point taken, was asking for other information while I was re-creating the problems I'm having. Computer doesn't reboot in 2 seconds ya know. hahaha [02:26] * Pelo hangs his head in shame [02:26] * dmsuperman wonders what kind of role model says one thing and does another :P [02:26] * bruenig thinks back to the private convo dmsuperman and Pelo had yesterday [02:26] bruenig, wtf you weren't even there [02:26] :P [02:26] bruenig: I will check it out. Thanksya. [02:27] * bruenig realizes that he wasn't even there [02:27] * Pelo wonders why he ever gave up @ , it would come in realy usefull right abut now [02:27] * ravi realizes there are too many of these messages [02:27] what is this role modelling thign? does ubuntu have some irc big brother program? [02:27] * dmsuperman wonders why everybody is wondering outloud [02:27] * MeatGrinder realizes he doesn't know what the h*ll they're talking about [02:27] hahah [02:27] * mosno speaks in the 3rd person for no good reason [02:27] * dmsuperman jumps up and down, just to keep the trend going [02:27] Pelo: you should have passed it off to me for some good justice [02:28] Am I correct in saying hd0,0 is the primary drive? <--- total noob [02:28] obviously someone spiked the punch at this party [02:28] * bruenig is very even handed with the hat [02:28] * Pelo gives bruenig a cookie [02:28] * ravi gonna go check some xkcd [02:28] C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!! [02:28] hyphen, yes [02:28] thanks [02:28] damn I'm so close [02:28] oh Lord, that game bit. [02:28] * MeatGrinder is reminded he needs a beer... [02:28] arg... same problem as before. problem accessing ata1 (whatever that is), then a bunch of garbage, then it tells me unable to determine aperture size and failed File system check. I'm guessing the hardware is just too old to work on Ubuntu.... thoughts? [02:28] how can I buy ubuntu support? [02:28] hi, can anyone tell me how stable the Hardy beta is? [02:28] why would you want to imaginativeone [02:28] imaginativeone, paypal money directly to dmsuperman@gmail.com [02:28] Can I install Centos.iso to the vmware player, or do I need the vmware-server to install things from install diks images? [02:29] as in, if I upgrade now, is it going to work fine? [02:29] JDSBlueDevl: it may, it may not [02:29] imaginativeone, buy support? [02:29] !ot | JDSBlueDevl [02:29] JDSBlueDevl: Nope. [02:29] JDSBlueDevl: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:29] MrStitch, HAve you tried some of the command line modifiers to get the live cd to boot [02:29] so I can connect my file without so much hassle [02:29] MrStitch, ata1 would be a hard drive , do you have an old one on that comp ? [02:29] dmsuperman, lol [02:29] forums are better for questions you need to sit on [02:29] How do I start up a new window manager? Like, put it into the startup procedure? [02:29] imaginativeone, it's free here! [02:29] stercor: excellent freaking question [02:29] !hardy [02:29] imaginativeone, don'T upgrade , wait for it [02:29] 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 [02:29] how does one do this I always wondered [02:29] Pelo, he wasn't even planning on it. he wants to just use samba :P [02:29] JDSBlueDevl: calling hardy beta can be a bit deceptive, since serious problems CAN arise [02:29] I'm just trying to see my ubuntu machine from windows [02:30] stercor, it shoud have been added to gdm you can select it when you log in [02:30] stercor, install one and where you login you can select between them or set a default [02:30] ubuntu doesn't do the .xinitrc fun, so how do you do this stuff [02:30] it's not working - and now the icon has disappeared [02:30] Jack and Pelo: I don't know ANY commands. I'm a linux virgin. hahahah, and I don't have an ata hard drive installed. I have an on-board scsi system with two IBM scsi drives. [02:30] * ravi was floored by the IBM Power5 specs [02:30] MrStitch: `dir` shows the context of the current directory [02:30] good luck with scsi, i still can't get ubuntu to recognize my adaptec card with cheetahs [02:30] Hey, does anyone else dual boot osx with ubuntu? [02:30] MrStitch, 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 "--" [02:31] !permissions [02:31] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [02:31] Actually, i HAD an ata in there when I was troubleshooting.... but disconnected it about an hour ago. [02:31] MrStitch, I 'm not 100% sure but I think ata is what they call scsi now , it is having difficulties readign one of them [02:31] Pelo, ata is not scsi [02:31] MrStitch, is that ata still listed in the bios ? that might be why you get the message it can't find it [02:31] Pelo, Jack_Sparrow: I compiled twm and xdm; much to my disappointment they didn't just magically appear on the bootup menu/screen. :-( [02:31] Pelo... that's beyond crazy. I'm a linux newb, not an idiot. hahahah [02:31] hey guys how do i check if my dvd rom drive is working right? in ubuntu. I can boot from it just fine but when i put a disk in nothing detects or happens [02:32] MrStitch, also check in fstab if it is liste dthere [02:32] where does apt-get cache archives? [02:32] I resized one of my partitions and ever since then I haven't been able to boot into linux, it's like my macbook doesn't see it. [02:32] How do I get Rhythmbox to stop prompting me to install the codecs? I already installed them using that dialog [02:32] * bruenig thinks that ubuntu should move to a user-drive .xinitrc setup for window managers [02:32] driven* [02:32] stercor, then don't appear you have to check in the session menu on the loggin screen, restart x and check [02:32] I am upgrading from Gutsy to Heron right now, will I lose any of my programs that I installed? [02:33] In fact, I'm even listening to an MP3 file right now and it's still prompting me to install the codec [02:33] hey guys how do i check if my dvd rom drive is working right? in ubuntu. I can boot from it just fine but when i put a disk in nothing detects or happens [02:33] bruenig, you should be in #ubuntu-devel [02:33] Screwed up the resolution. Can't see a thing. Suggestions? [02:33] firstohit: discrete releases are notably sketchy, so just cross your fingers really [02:33] firstohit, no [02:33] stercor, you did check under option where you login right [02:33] firstohit, vmware no longer works for me but the rest is fine [02:33] firstohit: You shouldn't [02:33] firstohit, but don't plan on them staying there :P [02:33] Orbixx|Mob, 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 [02:33] Orbixx|Mob, "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [02:34] Screwed up the resolution. Can't see a thing. Suggestions? [02:34] i.i I have VMwareWorksttion and Wine and Compiz and Crossover , will those change? [02:34] ok, first off. Lets get to a command prompt to do these things. First, I have the disc in the cd drive, then I power it up and it boots from the cd. The Ubuntu screen pops up and asks if I want to install, and some other things. Where should I go from here? [02:34] MrStitch, F6 [02:34] !patience | Orbixx|Mob read these and also dmsuperman's and Jack_Sparrow's [02:34] Orbixx|Mob read these and also dmsuperman's and Jack_Sparrow's: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:34] firstohit: these are non repo programs? [02:34] Orbixx|Mob, screwed up how ? [02:34] so will they be affected? [02:34] What do you mean non repo ? [02:34] How do i boot into command line? [02:34] firstohit, They shouldn't be affected, but as with all things beta it's possible [02:35] Orbixx|Mob, Ctrl Alt F1 [02:35] Orbixx|Mob, recovery mode from grub menu [02:35] Thanks. [02:35] Orbixx|Mob, on boot, right after the bios stuff hit the esc key, that will get you the grub menu, select the recovery mode, [02:35] hey guys how do i check if my dvd rom drive is working right? in ubuntu. I can boot from it just fine but when i put a disk in nothing detects or happens [02:35] firstohit: it is certainly possible that you will have problems, the discrete release model has systemic problems with moving between releases due to the jump. You could have incompatible library versions, you could have other problems. There is no way to safeguard. [02:35] Ok will this is April isn't time to upgrade. Will there be a smother upgrade soon, should I wait or do it now? [02:35] has nothing to do with "beta" has to do with the clumsy model [02:36] charles|64_, do you see it in places > computer ? [02:36] firstohit, wait til it's actually released, and even then i like to wait at least a few weeks to see if their are any major problems [02:36] please help [02:36] charles|64_, did you burn the iso as a single file or as a disk image [02:36] firstohit, usually if there are major problems there will be a massive outrage, then it will be fixed, then it's good to upgrade safely [02:36] * Pelo thinks dmsuperman is trying to become the new Pelo [02:36] imaginativeone, what with ? [02:36] Pelo, why do you say that? [02:37] Pelo, because I'm trying to help? [02:37] shutting down and restarting xdm didn't do anything new. [02:37] Ok, how can I know when is time to upgrade? [02:37] poor blippy solutions [02:37] firstohit, read my message :P [02:37] dmsuperman, help , waiting before upgradeing, ets === wicked_ is now known as sudobash [02:37] firstohit: two weeks after the release date. You can always tell the pioneers. They're the ones with arrows in their backs. [02:37] Pelo, heh, it's just common sense for the upgrading [02:37] bruenig, be nice [02:38] Pelo, it's why I still haven't upgraded my windows box to vista, nor will I with XP being continued until beyond release of Windows 7 [02:38] firstohit: look, the problem is with the model. Discrete releases will always be dangerous. Some will tell you not to take to hit and destruction and let others do it, but even then, the model is always sketchy. Whether you do it now or later, discrete release is discrete release, so I would just go for it especially if there is something in the new release that you can't access. [02:38] I will wait, I am not in hurry everything is working now, How do I know about the release? [02:38] hey guys how do i check if my dvd rom drive is working right? in ubuntu. I can boot from it just fine but when i put a disk in nothing detects or happens [02:38] Ok, I pressed F6, and I still have all my options, but this little line of text popped up at the bottom right of the sreen. It says: Boot Options :casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash-- [02:38] so its on discrete release right now? [02:38] firstohit, I'm sure you could just watch ubuntu.com [02:38] charles|64_, can you see a dvd drive listed in Places > computer ?

[02:47] I am trying to install the yahoo messager for Linux and it keeps saying I don't have libglib1.2 . and I looked it up and synaptic says I do have it. The dev verion debug .

Well Ilose my GNOME and compiz settings?

[02:50] Tyr: the problem could be that you used envy [02:50] Pelo, on a LiveCD, is the computer's menu.list at /boot/grub/menu.lst? [02:50] !envy | Tyr [02:50] Tyr: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories.

I took a guess because I resized the partition to 30 Gigs before installing ubuntu the location is disk-2 [03:07] linkinxp, i think that they way its supposeto be [03:07] linkinxp, change the theme === mpalatnik is now known as migm07 [03:07] does anyone else not use borders on their windows? [03:07] imaginativeone, it's not for everybody, it takes some work to manage but it's doen that way on purpose, so you can custom tailor it to your every need [03:07] dmsuperman I am going to try it now, actually it is sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [03:07] anyone knwo about moving an installation from hd to hd?

[03:07] !clone | fish here is a start [03:07] fish here is a start: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [03:07] firstohit, I just put in ? because I wasn't sure which one you were using [03:08] (10:06:44 PM) Pelo: imaginativeone, don'T use it then , no one is forcing you << why M$ will ALWAYS win (just ask Oracle) [03:08] dmsuperman, it has folders like 'bin' and 'boot' and 'cdrom' and two files called 'initrd.img' and 'vmlinuz' [03:08] Pelo: nothing [03:08] Hi, I need some help with my toshiba u305 and bluetooth [03:08] imaginativeone, what problem are you having now ?

[03:08] imaginativeone, MS only wins for the people who want it to "just work". Those of us who want it to work perfectly how we want it, however, are quite happy with it [03:08] dmsuperman bye [03:08] the desktop server is not accessible [03:08] dmsuperman, im sure its my ubuntu partition because my sata hard disks dont get mounted on the livecd and the other two discs are my other partitions [03:08] Danish989, as long as that's not "Filesystem" then it should be good [03:09] how would I go about killing the default windows manager to start wmii? [03:09] dmsuperman, i'm pretty sure it's not ''filesystem'' [03:09] Danish989, Alright, what's the path it says then? [03:09] Hi, I have a question about apt-get: [03:09] I'm trying to install the 'giggle' package, and it has a dependency on 'git-core'. The problem is this: I have Git built from source on my machine, so if I installed from a package there would be big problems. Is there some way I can force apt-get to ignore dependencies and only install what I request? [03:09] Pelo: http://pastebin.com/m6501b2c2 [03:09] elmer: killall whatever ;wmii [03:09] dmsuperman: you seem to be making the same mistake my HS educators made... [03:09] dmsuperman, it just says disk-2 [03:09] I have ubuntu 8.04 beta. No sound in Firefox when i go to anything on the internet . When I go to system/preference/sound. on the devices tab, sytems tests work.... but on the sounds tab none of the systems sounds work. when I play games like ioqake.. I DO have sound.... Adobe flash (latest version) is installed. not Gnash.. [03:09] you're forgetting to mention MONEY [03:09] my kids won't get any medical care without it [03:09] Danish989, click the little icon that looks like paper with a pencil on it, it'll tell you the actual location [03:10] dmsuperman lol i was abought to yell untill i read the second half [03:10] Hi, I need some help with my toshiba satellite u305 and bluetooth [03:10] dmsuperman, it's /media/disk-2 [03:10] charles|64_, I hate to say this but try reboot [03:10] M$ clearly understands that people need to get the job done for money [03:10] dmsuperman isnt windows works when it fells like it [03:10] imaginativeone, You don't make money with Windows OR Linux, so how does that make anything [03:10] Pelo: brb [03:10] imaginativeone, is this a recent installation of ubuntu ? [03:10] hello, lvm problems here after hardy beta upgrade. Anyone able to help? [03:10] gogeta, heh, yeah [03:10] danbhfive, wouldnt that require me installing ununtu on the new hd first? [03:11] Pelo: about a month... [03:11] jdonmoyer: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support [03:11] Danish989, alright, then "sudo gedit /media/disk-2/boot/grub/menu.lst" [03:11] imaginativeone, and it was wokring before ? [03:11] fish: yeah [03:11] thanks flannel [03:11] exit [03:11] alrighty [03:11] then how do I remove the install on mycurrent hd? [03:11] Pelo: no. I just learned about Samba today [03:11] imaginativeone, boot the live cd, copy your /home folder to a seperate partion and reinstall ubuntu [03:11] dmsuperman, should I make a pastebin of that? [03:11] imaginativeone, I make more money with linux, actually. I'm definately more productive with it, and since my job depends on the internet and on computers in general (I'm a programmer) that's a huge thing [03:12] Danish989, sure [03:12] Pelo: thanks [03:12] Pelo: gnome-subtitles is buggy with 8.04. any other app/idea? [03:12] imaginativeone, your trying to get samba to wrok ? this is an all other things we all thougth you were trying to get your wndows intall to read the ubuntu hdd , now the same thing [03:12] dmsuperman,http://pastebin.com/m2c3118cc [03:12] dmsuperman kinda offtopic [03:12] dmsuperman: that's cool for you and like the 150 in the world who can say that [03:12] owen1, that's all I have, remember that it's generaly hardy that is bugy at this point not the apps on it [03:12] gogeta, he was saying how MS is better and somehow was bringing up money [03:13] Pelo: someone told me about this: transcode -i MichaelClayton.avi -x mplayer="-sub MichaelClayton.srt" -o outputfile.avi -y xvid but it made the fonts huge. [03:13] the 1000s of us that have to eat too...well... [03:13] imaginativeone, of the top 10 fastest growing jobs in america, mine and related jobs make up a good portion of them [03:13] that a new discrete release is buggy indicates there is some system problem in the distro [03:13] imaginativeone, I'm confused .. what are you doing in an ubuntu room? [03:13] dmsuperman linux admin jobs are growing fast [03:13] owen1, man transcode and look at the options available you can probably specify the size of the font to use [03:13] which package provides /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8 (dpkg -S says 'not found') and how can I get the en_US.iso-8859-1? [03:13] Danish989: trying to get some help with Ubuntu [03:13] Pelo: man. r u part of canonical? thanks a lot. [03:14] Danish989, alright, there's 3 lines, 131, 142, and 137 that reference (hd2,4) [03:14] imaginativeone, no offence but I don't think comparing ubuntu with any other os will actually help [03:14] imaginativeone, right now you are trying to get help with samba I beleive , you ahve two machines and you are trying to get thtem to communicate is that correct ? [03:14] dmsuperman, and in linux newb language, that means? === c0Ld_ is now known as c0Ld [03:14] Pelo: yes [03:14] It's not working [03:14] imaginativeone ubuntu [03:14] Danish989, The first bit is the drive, the second is the partition. So, drive 2, and partition 4. [03:14] lol [03:14] imaginativeone, well startwith taht , do you have shared folders in your windows machine ? [03:14] Danish989, look at lines 131, 142, and 137 [03:15] dmsuperman, so that makes it (hd2,4) . the location I have to set grub to? [03:15] Pelo: yes [03:15] hey, I installed mailutils and tried this but it doesn't work: echo testing | mail -s Blah myemail@gmail.com (no error log, just doesn't deliver) [03:15] imaginativeone, haveyou installed samba on ubuntu ? [03:15] I can access them from ubuntu [03:15] imaginativeone go give him a slackware install and watch him compare windows then lol [03:15] How do i change my resolution to one that is not listed? [03:15] Pelo: yes [03:15] how would I go about killing the default windows manager to start wmii? [03:15] dmsuperman, that is what I did by following the instructions on the thread you sent to me before, but it didn't seem to work :/ [03:15] Danish989, Currently, GRUB is trying to boot from (hd2,4), according to those lines. We need to play with it to figure out where it is really located. I wasn't able to find a sure-fire way of determining it, but I switched it from hd(1,5) for mine to (hd0,5) and it worked [03:15] imaginativeone, ok half way there, have you autorzied samba accept connections from yur windows machine ? [03:16] Anyone: How do i remove my ubuntu installation? How do i uninstall my current ubuntu install?, I am currently using Ubuntu 7 and Fedora 8 and I am wanting to remove them both [03:16] Danish989, Those instructions get you installed, then since we have SATA drives and the BIOS gets confused, we'll have to do a little bit of trying [03:16] elmer go to session [03:16] dmsuperman, make a suggestion? [03:16] Danish989, do you have another PC with internet? [03:16] elmer at the login screen [03:16] elmer, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [03:16] Orbixx: are you comfortable editing a configuration file? [03:16] fish, why not just delete the partition? [03:16] Yes. [03:16] gogeta, OK [03:16] Pelo: yes, but...perhaps not (since ubuntu is not accepting connections from my windows machine) [03:16] what about my bootloader? [03:16] dmsuperman, give me a list of locations that I should try in succession until one works, and I'll boot into live cd until it works ... or is there another way of checkign without actually restarting the computer? [03:17] dmsuperman, that's the problem, I do not have another pc with internet [03:17] Danish989, Yes, there is. Do you have another PC? [03:17] Pelo, I did that and I got stuck and running "wmii" did not work [03:17] Danish989, alright, then [03:17] I will try gogeta's idea [03:17] Danish989, When you boot up, you'll have your grub. With that grub, you have the list of OSes [03:17] brb maybe [03:17] imaginativeone, I would review that part , I am not ffamiliar with samba, you can try asking for more help on this in #samba , and leave the money and bitching out of it [03:17] Danish989, Highlight the first one, and hit "e" [03:17] dmsuperman, the problem is I'm not getting the list of OSes either [03:17] ok, first, make a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. (name it something like xorg.conf.back or something.) [03:17] dmsuperman, it just starts loading GRUB and goes into that error [03:17] Pelo: cool beans...thanks for helping [03:17] Pelo: ok that froze my system as soon as it loaded fstab [03:18] Danish989, either way, try hitting e [03:18] fish - (might want to confirm this first, but:) edit file /boot/grub/menu.lst and delete the lines for the entry. [03:18] Hey, I just tried to open a MS Office 2007 spreadsheet file, and now my Open Office is complete scrambled. Is it crashed, or do I just need to reboot Ubuntu? [03:18] Danish989, and from there, you can hit "e" again on the first line it should give you [03:18] dmsuperman, even if I'm stuck on the error? [03:18] This may sound absurd, but could I order free ubuntu 5.10 live cds somehow? 5.10 was my favorite ubuntu version, and i want to use it for one day, just for nostalgia. My dialshit stops me from downloading it, and my dad used the live instead of the install cds on my mousetrap car (unlike my requests) so im screwed. Please help me see 5.10 again for a day. [03:18] Danish989, not entirely sure [03:18] Done. [03:18] Danish989, Oh yeah, duh [03:18] Danish989, Alright, from bootup here's what you do [03:18] charles|64, is it ok now ? maybe the /dev/scd0 is not the good devtree for your dvd player [03:18] stwange: what about my bootloader? I am using the BL that i believe is used by Ubuntu, because when i installed fedora 8 i had a blue screen bootloader and after installing Ubuntu i got a black screen and now Fedora is Under "Other Operating Systems" in the loader menu [03:18] Danish989, Hit escape after it boots. That will give you the list of OSes [03:18] when a beta version is put out, are there updates posted for it ? [03:18] Danish989, From there, highlight the first one, and hit "e" [03:18] stwange: ok [03:18] Pelo: not sure i commented that line out to get it to boot [03:19] stwange: I will check that [03:19] Orbixx: now, open the file (using sudo) with your favorite editor and look to see if you can find a section called "Screen" [03:19] Danish989, Then, the first line should say something about (hd2,4), hit "e" again [03:19] Hello --please excuse me. I would like to upgrade my MotoQ from Verizon from Windows Mobile Version 5.0 to 6.1. Would somebody be able to point me in the right direction for this? [03:19] hopefully there will only be one. [03:19] Ok. I'm there. [03:19] charles|64, go back in hardaware info , find your dvd drive again, check in the tabs for it and find the /dev thing for it , use that in the fstab instead fo /dev/scd0 [03:19] Can anyone tell me how to fulfill my request? [03:19] Only one. [03:19] Danish989, From there, you can just edit the line with your keyboard, backspace, and try replacing 2 with different numbers until it boots Ubuntu [03:19] ??? [03:19] 'ello? [03:19] does anyone know of a way to calibrate the rgb gamma for xwindows ?, similar to the nvidia wizard under xp ?? [03:19] Some_Person, you are not being ignored , restate your problem [03:19] Danish989, After you edit it, save it and hit "b" to try to boot to it [03:19] This may sound absurd, but could I order free ubuntu 5.10 live cds somehow? 5.10 was my favorite ubuntu version, and i want to use it for one day, just for nostalgia. My dialshit stops me from downloading it, and my dad used the live instead of the install cds on my mousetrap car (unlike my requests) so im screwed. Please help me see 5.10 again for a day. [03:19] good. there should be a list of "modes" with either one or a series of elements like "640x480" [03:19] Danish989, You might want to write these directions down [03:20] No list of modes. That's my problem. [03:20] hey,would i have any problems putting ubuntu on a vista laptop? [03:20] you can just add another resolution to the list. [03:20] Some_Person newer versions walk all over 5.10 [03:20] ahh. that is a problem. [03:20] gogeta: i know, but thats not the point [03:20] * MrStitch is a ghost [03:20] dmsuperman, so what I do is hit escape so it gives me the list of OSes .. from there, press ''e'' so it opens up that grub thingy .. and then over there, I can just use my keyboard to change the value of 2 into other numbers, and try them all out until ubuntu finally decides to boot? [03:20] Some_Person, you can download it from the servers on the www.ubuntu.com site [03:20] you shouldn't do evilbug, but always backup anything you can't afford to lose [03:20] pelo: not on dialshit [03:20] Some_Person welcome to the club [03:20] !language | | [03:20] dmsuperman, are you sure hitting escape will get me to the list of OSes? [03:20] |: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:21] Danish989, So, quick version. From bootup, "escape" "e" "e", try replacing 2 with 0, then 1, and so on. Change 2, hit enter, and hit b to try to boot [03:21] Some_Person, youcan try and ordr it from shipit , also on the www.ubuntu.com site, [03:21] Some_Person wardrive on a laptop frind wifi dl it [03:21] Danish989, yes [03:21] pelo: shipit only give you 7.10 [03:21] can someone point me to a guide that explains "sudo -s" "sudo -" "su" or which command(s) are proper to use to gain a root prompt [03:21] how about now? [03:21] stwange_- it would be a brand new one,nothing to backup.i just thought of the possiblity of having issues just like with downgrading from vista to xp,some bios issues maybe. [03:21] !sudo [03:21] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [03:21] gogeta: i have no laptop [03:21] thanks [03:22] so, the format is like this: within the "Screen" Section, add SubSection "Display" Modes "1440x900" EndSubSection [03:22] Some_Person, I'M sure there is a contact email on the website whre you can inquire , this shouldn't be very hard and I am sure they will be glad to get rid of hold stock [03:22] biabia, no problem [03:22] evilbug, you said from vista to ubuntu? [03:22] but of course use whatever resolution it is you're trying to add. [03:22] Some_Person some areas have free city wide wifi maybe youll luvkout [03:22] hopefully that will work. [03:22] dmsuperman, can you see my text, or did I screw something up? [03:22] gogeta: i have no laptop [03:22] you'll have to log out and log back in to restart X11, though. [03:22] MrStitch, I can see you now [03:22] stwange_- yes. [03:22] sorry I misunderstood evilbug [03:22] MrStitch, did you PM me? [03:22] What's a good firewall for ubuntu? Like, an interactive one. [03:22] Some_Person wifi pc steal nabers connection [03:23] lol [03:23] gogeta: i have no fruggin wifi [03:23] if it breaks everything, do you know how to use one of the tty terminals to restore your xorg.conf backup? [03:23] :-( [03:23] dmsuperman, i left earlier and used the 'away' command. Do I need to issue another command to show that I'm back? [03:23] stwange_- thanks! [03:23] stwange_, no you shouldn't have issues, although check the license when you buy it - I've heard that some acer laptops encrypt the bios so you can only access it if vista is installed [03:23] dmsuperman hey I am back but I have some problem [03:23] sorry, evilbug, not stwange_ - see above :) [03:23] Saint`Dia, firestarter is pretty good [03:23] dmsuperman, been asking questions and not the faintest reply... hahahaha [03:23] MrStitch, I'm pretty sure away only changes your status, it shouldn't affect your ability to message [03:24] dmsuperman, I'm going to try that out now, thanks a lot .. I'll be back in a bit with either good news or bad news [03:24] firstohit, what happened? [03:24] Danish989, alright [03:24] How do i logout without ing the interface. [03:24] :-[ [03:24] dmsuperman resolution is missed up and when I run nvidia-settings I get error You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [03:24] usser: I'm using firestarter, but it does'nt seem very interactive, you would think, this being linux, it would have an awesome firewall with port options and the works. [03:24] dmsuperman, ok then... it's just me. ;) [03:24] MrStitch, messaging "???" probably isn't a good way to see if people can see your text haha [03:24] pelo: who would i contact? [03:24] The current resolution is bigger than my monitor, and i can't see the right side of the desktop. [03:24] Orbixx: you can't. :-( welcome to the fun of using a graphical user interface developed in the 1980s. [03:24] Saint`Dia-> interactive? you want a firewall tool to be interactive? [03:25] firstohit, "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg-bak/xorg.conf" [03:25] Some_Person, isnT there some customer service or some general information email ? [03:25] how to remove the package [03:25] Saint`Dia, but its linux and it does have an awesome firewall - iptables its just nobody bothers to write a nice gui for it [03:25] firstohit, "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [03:25] amenado: Yeah, something like some of the programs that windows has. [03:25] firstohit, "sudo nvidia-settings" [03:25] firstohit, and if it still gives you an error, reboot and try again [03:25] pelo: not that i know of [03:25] Saint`Dia, just how customizable u want the firewall to be [03:25] Orbixx: when you go to the display setting control panel, it doesn't offer a smaller resolution? [03:25] please tell me [03:25] dmsuperman, good point. Say, do you know anything about open office? I just tried to open a 2007 excel spreadsheet file and my whole open office software is messed up... scrambled. Reboot, or do I re-install the open office? [03:26] Does Ubuntu have any software packages that do the same thing as DBAN (without having to boot from them)? [03:26] Saint`Dia-> im not sure how much interactivity you would like...can you not use command line? or that is too challenging for you? [03:26] If I open a media file by right-clicking on the file and choosing "open with MediaInfo" (I added it to the menu), it opens MediaInfo but not the file: the executable path is: /usr/bin/mediainfo_gui %f. So which %variable should I be using to make it work? [03:26] usser, iptable is not a firewall it's the cli userspace for netfilter , netfilter is the firewall, firestarter is just a gui for the same [03:26] MrStitch, There are some problems with opening Office 2007 files in OO.o [03:26] Ah. I did it. [03:26] MrStitch, I used to be a huge OO.o fan until 2007 of MS Office came out [03:26] Some_Person, didyou check the contact email on the ubuntu website ? [03:26] Saint`Dia, try guarddog [03:26] Orbixx: excellent. what did you end up doing? [03:26] MrStitch, Office 2007 is the first good product they've put out [03:27] usser: I should be able to filter port information, and I should be able to see IP's connecting to my PC in realtime. It is not that command line is challenging, but will all the awesome gui options, you'd think that something as significant as a firewall would have it's share of programs. [03:27] MrStitch, So I just run a VM of windows XP and use Office 2007 with that :P [03:27] pelo: they are in categories, and none fit my needs [03:27] There was another spot to logout on the gui i could see. [03:27] Oh... [03:27] Some_Person, show [03:27] Some_Person, let me have a look [03:27] Xorg to have hung. [03:27] Does Ubuntu have anything to securely delete partitions? [03:27] Appears* [03:28] will = with^ in my last post. [03:28] dmsuperman, sounds like a good fix. However, the file is from a friend, and I don't personally have Office 2007. Maybe I should just reboot and see if it clears up? [03:28] Pelo: not seeing it ill try a few other things thanks though [03:28] damn. i take it you have gotten the graphics card to work at that resolution when running another OS? [03:28] dmsuperman still getting it, gott reoot [03:28] Saint`Dia-> once you learned iptables, you can make rules to log or display each ip's connecting realtime [03:28] dmsuperman be back [03:29] snitch: poo should support office 2007 [03:29] amenado: I guess I will study Iptables. [03:29] Some_Person, ask there mailto:info@shipit.ubuntu.com [03:29] ooo* [03:29] MrStitch, you could try that. Also, ask him to save it as a 97/2000 or 2003 format, and that will more than likely clear it up [03:29] hi [03:30] I'll be back === Jadder_antonio is now known as jadder [03:30] my new laptop gets here this week which has a 3945 intel pro wireless ABG card in it ... is this supported in Ubuntu? [03:30] Saint `Dia: there are other solutions to Iptables, just open up synaptic and search firewall [03:30] It worked. But the resolution hasn't taken effect. [03:30]  Hi I am trying to follow the example at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeamlessVirtualization [03:31] but nothing is *seamless* [03:31] cirkit... almost anything is supported by ubuntu [03:31] hey, is there any version of ubuntu i can install w/o a cd drive, like fluxbuntu or somthing similar and really light [03:31] lindenle, that may depend on your cmputer's capacity [03:31] what if you try the display resolution control panel? does it now give you the option of setting the resolution you added to xorg.conf? [03:31] aimchanger: ok [03:31] Nope. [03:31] Pelo: Why i get the full rdesktop just fine [03:31] !install > zero check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [03:32] ere4si, hi. [03:32] damn. i'm afraid i've exausted my meager knowledge. i'm sorry i couldn't help you. hopefully somebody else here might be able to. [03:32] Pelo, thanks [03:32] cirkit: I've been having some trouble getting the 3945 abg to work, but it seems like it should work eventually [03:32] icesword: g'day :) [03:32] Pelo, I just want to re-iterate that I love you. There's probably only one _minor_ thing I would change in gedit, then it would be the perfect editor [03:32] Thanks anyway. [03:32] just search the forums for it [03:33] dmsuperman, tell me and I'll see what I can do but you'll have to compile the source I am not making you a deb packge [03:33] * Pelo is kidding of course [03:33] Pelo, It's even better than notepad++, except it doesn't have code collapsing, and there's one tiny little thing in n++ I love, where the horizontal scrollbar only goes as far as any of the currently text needs [03:33] Pelo, :O [03:33] Pelo, do you know what I mean though? [03:34] Does anyone know how to start a wireless connection? It's configured, just not startin. [03:34] is kpresenter any better than open office impress? [03:34] dmsuperman, about the scroll bar ? yes, can't you turn off text wrapping ? [03:34] cirkit: only advice I'd give is to switch to the iwl3945 module and blacklist ipw3945, the rest should be ok... [03:34] ace12345: ahhh will keep that in mind :) [03:35] Pelo: how do I change ownership of a file in my home folder? [03:35] IdleOne: chown [03:35] Pelo. Yeah, that's fine, only what I mean is that like, if a line only goes out to column 150, then the scrollbar only goes that far. If a line goes out to column 400, and that line is currently being viewed, then the horizontal scrollbar gets longer. this is just a little stupid feature, don't worry about it [03:35] dmsuperman, check in gedit > menu > edit > prefs > first tab , [03:35] Pelo, but I'd really love code expanding [03:35] obixx: should be able to do an ifup on it, e.g. ifup eth1 or ifup wlan0, if it's all configured... [03:35] sorry [03:35] ani1: chown /path/to/file username? [03:35] dmsuperman still getting the error You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [03:36] dmsuperman, check the pluggin tab in the prefs [03:36] IdleOne: chown group:user filename man chown :) [03:36] Anyone know how to bring [03:36] Ah. [03:36] firstohit, You ran all 3 of those commands I gave you? [03:36] orbit...? [03:36] is there an easy way to switch back andforth between metacity and compiz in ubuntu? like via a notification icon [03:36] Pelo, yeah it's not in there [03:36] i used to have one on a much older version of beryl [03:36] Pelo, I've checked [03:37] but i dont know what it is now [03:37] And if ifup says my interface is already configured? [03:37] dmsuperman let me give it antoher try, I keep getting the message upon boot about the low resolution and I like to cancel it because it does not loook right, it does not show my card or the right resolution [03:37] tangir... you cud trya launcher or bash script [03:37] dmsuperman, it didn't work .. after booting it directly took me to that error screen and I tried pressing esc as soon as the computer loaded (even repeatedly) but it didn't take me to the OS choice screen .. and pressing E at the error screen didn't work either [03:37] dmsuperman, hold on , checking www.gedit.org to see if there is any pluggins that you can add [03:37] !limewire [03:37] limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative. [03:37] hm [03:37] Intangir: you could probaly metacity --replace .. also you could write a bash script for compiz --replace and metacity to switch back and forth [03:37] firstohit, that's because it hasn't been configured yet, just click continue [03:38] orbixx: hmm yeah i hate all this wireless config... try doing an ifdown on it first - ifdown wlan0 or whatever? [03:38] i dunno :s [03:38] how to i open a read-only file as administrator? i have a slide show that somebody made and burnt, onto a cd and for some reason its read only, but i need to edit it... [03:38] ani1: thanks [03:38] dmsuperman, I don't see anyting, looks like you'll have to take it as is [03:38] firstohit, it'll bring it up in low-settings mode. backup your xorg.conf, and run nvidia-xconfig as root, then try nvidia-settings === SeveredC1oss is now known as SeveredCross [03:38] Pelo, darn :( [03:38] dmsuperman more annoying is I can't see the nvidia logo at boot because of the tyy did not exit properly how can I get rid of it and verify which driver I am using? [03:38] dmsuperman, I even tried coming on #ubuntu from my ps3 .. lol .. but apparently I need java 1.4x for that chat to work so I couldnt and had to boot from live cd again [03:38] people somebody knows some program for Linux to download mp3 music?

[03:40] Pelo, I thought it was just Escape but he wasn't able to get it figured out. He needs to edit the commands from the grub menu so he can test it out and figure out which one is his working ubuntu partition [03:40] pelo, no, it starts loading grub (stage 1.5) and then gets an error 22 [03:40] I have a Belkin 7050 using rt73 driver the device is recognized but it cannot scan for new networks the modules are loaded correctly as rebooting shows my wlan0 with correct iwconfig output.

I have tried sudo iwlist wlan0 scan but it... [03:40] ...never pulls results any way to scan for wifi networks for the rt73 usb devices? [03:41] Danish989, it's not finding your ubuntu partion and the /boot/grub folder on it , the easiets way I know to fix that is to get the super grub cd and use that to tell it where it is [03:41] dmsuperman how can I get rid of the tyy at boot ?

[04:03] fish k3b' [04:03] ^ [04:03] fish: Ubuntu has one built in - - just right click an iso and 'write to disk' [04:04] fish: or the one built into gnome [04:04] efirewick, mysql would be your best bet but you'll have to spend some time configuring and learning it [04:05] CapaH: dd and bzip is probably your best bet if you need a disk image [04:05] Rolling Star 3:09 YUI Rolling Star Rock 37 1/6/2008 7:45 PM [04:05] er. wrong thing. [04:06] Scunizi, CapaH, and cynyr, thank you... I was thinking about k3b before I asked, I just wanted someone else to recommend it, thanks [04:07] fish: i haven't used it recently, but it was ok last time i used it === \etc\bin is now known as e1mer [04:07] efirewick, i usually use phpmyadmin to do configuration tasks and something like mysql-navigator for client [04:07] pen, hiya [04:08] ddif: hi [04:08] usser, is it pretty stable? [04:09] !info mysql-navigator > efirewick [04:09] mysql is stable yes [04:09] efirewick, what mysql? well yea lots of companies use it [04:09] Anyone: does k3b require a kde?... I started thinking about that when i realized it started with a k...lmao......? [04:09] no [04:09] i use gnome [04:09] usser, good, thanks. [04:09] fish, kde libraries [04:09] no it was built for kde but you dont have to install it [04:09] fish, not kde itself [04:09] oh [04:10] efirewick, np [04:11] fish: your best bet then is to just use the iso burner built in to "gnome" [04:11] I've found that I need to install the restricted-drivers modules to enable wireless (I think) however the system recommends linux-restricted-modules- - server.. there isn't a package with -server at the end.. :/ [04:11] fish: gnomebaker is pertty good, thats wha ti use. [04:11] when i did sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward i am getting a premission denied [04:11] !info gnomebaker | fish [04:11] fish: gnomebaker (source: gnomebaker): application for CD/DVD creation in the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.2-2 (gutsy), package size 996 kB, installed size 2972 kB [04:13] alrighty [04:13] hehehe,so quiet today [04:13] I am using the Write to disc option in the context menu in gnome [04:14] i am trying to make it less quiet but not working ;-) [04:14] so what's the difference between packages ending in -generic and -386? [04:15] one your insurance provider will pay for the other is on you ? [04:15] guess you need to be in the US to get that joke [04:15] is there any way to force nautilus to NOT use a .trash folder for usb keys? [04:16] dmsuperman I was not succesful installing the new driver, I am back to older driver but compix does not work I get Desktop effects could not be enabled [04:16] dmsuperman any suggestions? [04:17] what app can i use to take over for microsoft publisher? [04:17] is there ANY way for me to change a text box or image to a button that makes something on the page appear? [04:17] does anyone know if the new ubuntu 8.04 have better support for atheros wireless cards? [04:18] CloudFX: http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives [04:18] CloudFX, you can use Openoffice Draw which does pretty good and has great output or if you need a full on multipage pagemaker type program Scribus [04:18] amdma2003: go to #ubuntu+1 for hardy support [04:18] thanks [04:18] ok thanks [04:19] I have a Belkin 7050 using rt73 driver the device is recognized but it cannot scan for new networks the modules are loaded correctly as rebooting shows my wlan0 with correct iwconfig output and dmesg | grep rt73 along with lshw show that the driver is loaded. I have wifi-radar and kwifimanager both of which will not show new AP's. Kwifimanager is flaky and sometimes displays our neighbors... [04:19] ...router but not often and its never displayed any of the 3 routers in our house that the windows machine finds :\. I have tried sudo iwlist wlan0 scan but it never pulls results any way to scan for wifi networks for the rt73 usb devices or wireless tricks to get this working? [04:19] I think I have just the guide for you, ani1 [04:20] is there any way to force nautilus to NOT use a .trash folder for usb keys? [04:21] hi [04:21] ani1, wifi-radar? [04:21] its a gui prog for setting up wifi networks [04:21] hey all! [04:21] ani1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=563547 [04:22] unop__: evening. I have a curious issue with that script you wrote for me. some of the image is cut off and it seems to be displayed in reverse on my desktop http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/566/wpsetscreenshotni6.png [04:22] hi, after live Cd boot screen, everything goes totally black for a few moments, then it loads the desktop.... is this a bad sign?? I cannot see the text on the screen durring shutdown too... i want to install it , is it safe? TIA [04:22] ani1, sorry I was mentioning wifi radar but then I saw your previous post that you already had it.. [04:22] meatpuppet, no.. [04:22] meatpuppet, the live cd takes a little while to set itself up.. [04:23] If anyone is a networking expert, I have kind of a bizarre problem. After a restart, my wireless network card stopped "scanning" and can't see any networks anymore. [04:23] iwlist scan yields eth1 No scan results [04:23] hmm Zelta i would prefer not to taint my kernel with ndiswrapper seeings how the linux driver is loaded correctly but i suppose i could give it a whirl thanks [04:23] ok thanks :) [04:24] is there a way to set each X screen to have a seperate background with gnome? [04:24] In xoscope I am getting "sound ioctl Bad file descriptor" is there any way I can get it to work? [04:26] Hi my synaptics touchpad was functioning properly, but today it is not responding. I checked the /dev/input/mice file, it is not outputting anything when use touchpad.. how to debug this problem? [04:27] polysilicon: How are you checking it? Have you reconfigured X recently? [04:27] If it was working when you reconfigured X, and you've only restarted since then, you likely disabled it accidentally. [04:27] no I tried. cat /dev/input/mice [04:27] no output to console [04:27] polysilicon: Ah. [04:27] Well then... [04:28] polysilicon: update the kernel recently? [04:28] polysilicon: Yeah, that's bad. Done anything funny in the kernel? Removed any software? [04:28] nope [04:28] nothing like that, no system modification [04:28] hello everyone [04:28] i wan't to run ubuntu on my laptop but it is slow booting up and shutting down :( it also has problems shutting down the same as with my desktop and goes to ctrl + alt + F1 screen and then just shows console output of the shutdown :S [04:28] I even tried Knoppix Live CD [04:28] f0rmat: Welcome to Linux. :\ [04:29] its showing device synaptics, but touchpad doesn't wotk [04:29] i use ubuntu all the time on my desktop for my servers [04:29] !upgrade [04:29] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [04:30] f0rmat: does it still shutdown correctly?

[04:48] hey nickrud [04:48] bye [04:48] shadow420 hi [04:48] patrickva, try the alternate install cd , it is less fussy about hardware and such [04:49] How can do you get a list of the devices showing up in the nautilus "Comptur" view on the cli? [04:49] Where can I get the alternative install cd? [04:49] Pelo? [04:49] patrickva: you can also try using all_generic_ide as a parameter [04:49] !download [04:49] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! === [1]Netham45 is now known as Netham45 [04:49] Which one is the alternative? [04:49] from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com/ [04:49] patrickva: hold on a sec [04:49] k [04:50] !request [04:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about request - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:50] patrickva, there is a a text based installer cd that usualy does a better job at installing without any fuss, you can get it from the www.ubuntu.com site same as the live cd, but you check the alternate cd box below the download button [04:50] okay.. [04:50] I don't know how to do text based installers.. [04:50] http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso patrickva here you go [04:50] dmsuperman, still here?

Just because you can't sit there and recompile your kernel doesn't mean you're a n00b. Not as experience as some of the others, sure, but we all have to start somewhere [04:54] Anyone use nautilus? [04:54] Pelo, and trust me, I've only used linux for a week haha [04:54] Pelo, so yeh, you're more likely to get it going. I ran out of suggestions before we even got into #grub [04:54] usser, is there anywhere I can read about how to configure/use this LAMP stuff? I am reading about how to install it on the internet, But I would like to learn more about it before I install it, and I can't find any other info about it... [04:54] jimlay: sure, I do [04:54] dmsuperman, see the special colour my last msg was , that's becaue it was private [04:54] pelo I am sure I can get it to work with my uncles P4 2Ghz 2GB of Ram Decent Graphics card and sound [04:55] Do you understand where the items in the "computer" view come from? [04:55] !lamp | efirewick [04:55] efirewick: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:55] pelo these are Dells [04:55] shadow420, if yuou know how to get ubuntu live cd to install on patrickva 's computer wiithout issue by all means have a crack at it [04:56] Pelo, see, even more of a reason i'm a noob. I didn't even know that haha [04:56] which is the easiest version of linux for a beginner [04:56] Pelo, how do you even private message [04:56] prem, you're probably in the right channel [04:56] How can i reinstall firefox on hardy ? [04:56] fedex1993: sudo apt-get remove firefox [04:56] fedex1993: sudo apt-get install firefox [04:56] fedex1993, "sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox" "sudo apt-get install firefox" === SVI is now known as DBO [04:56] prem: Ubuntu and other variations are generally considered best for new users [04:56] or purge, as well ;) [04:57] Hey guys, how do I downgrade wine to a lower version? [04:57] u say ubuntu is easy to learn for a beginner [04:57] pelo I just have to use a personal Grub Floppy to boot linux until I can get grub to boot from windows bootloader [04:57] Balth why would u need to do that? [04:57] Because it would seem a game I play broke with the new version. [04:57] jimlay: "computer:///" shows your mounted drives [04:58] Balth just send them an e-mail to tell them that a game stopped working with the new version [04:59] quelqun pourai me guider pas a pas pour metre une image de font a grub svp :( [04:59] Balth: uninstall the one from the repos and then get the .deb of the older version from winehq [04:59] Balth: also. there's software called CrossOver Games that specialize in making games work in a linux environment [04:59] patrickva are you still there? [04:59] Balth: you will also need to make sure you dont upgrade to the new version of wine on accident until you want to [04:59] h00k_: wine is basically the same as crossover but free [05:00] Ok thanks. [05:00] cpk1: well, they modify it specifically to get certain games to work [05:00] Hello all [05:00] hello all [05:00] hello suprie [05:00] well as soon they have all of the popular games to work they will have them all working [05:00] i have a problem with my wifi [05:00] iirc crossover is geared more towards productivity applications while cedega is more game oriented [05:01] sometime it doesn't caught any wifi signal [05:01] I have CrossOver Office for productivity [05:01] I like OneNote2003 [05:01] dmsuperman, remember what you said about bios not getting it right and you had to take a guess at correctly fixing grub? [05:01] im using atheros chipset [05:01] hi [05:01] and using ndiswrapper to make it worked [05:02] suprie, system -> administration -> restricted driver manager didn't work? [05:02] nope [05:02] sometimes it worked [05:02] how do I kill pppoe? [05:02] but sometimes it didn't worked at all [05:03] need to configure it but it says its already running [05:03] gidean sudo poff should take it down [05:03] h00k_, thanks. do you know how to list that at the cli? Where is nautilus getting thil list from? [05:03] kill gives me "no process killed" [05:03] poff? [05:03] exellent [05:04] gidean yeah, pon/poff is the way to start stop pppoe [05:04] amyone have seamless mode working with virtualbox? [05:05] lindenle ➡ it works here. lemme double check once again [05:05] pelo these are Dell Computers what I have heard are the hardest ones to get a Dual Boot to work with Windows/linux [05:05] shadow420, why are you telilng me this ? [05:06] shadow420, it doesn't really matter what brand the computer is [05:06] shadow420, it's easy. [05:06] Not hard at all with Dell Computers. [05:06] jimlay: It might be taking it from fstab, and maybe searching /media as well [05:06] dmsuperman, wereen't you talking about seamless in vbox yesterday ? [05:06] shadow420, I've never heard of a Dell computer that doesn't allow you to change boot order, and that's really all you need so you can install ubuntu [05:06] Pelo, yeah, it's so awesome [05:06] hey, if i installed limewire on my linux and its not in the add/remove how do i get it off? [05:07] dmsuperman, let me introduce you to lindenle [05:07] Pelo, I still haven't rebooted since installing the closed source one, which should allow me to network guest and host OS [05:07] millertime_018: You installed how? [05:07] Most Dell computers support F12, which gives you the boot order list upon startup [05:07] lindenle, I do [05:07] does anyone know what version of madwifi is pre-installed with ubuntu? [05:07] from the internet. like downloaded it [05:07] from limewire.com [05:07] Sometimes DELL used DELETE, F1, or F2 as well. [05:07] dmsuperman thats one thing I will not do is change the boot order in bios [05:07] gnychis, you'd have to look it up in synaptic , the package manager in the admin menu [05:07] and I've not run into any Dell computers over the last...7-8 years that did not allow you to change boot order... [05:08] shadow420, erm, any reason for that? [05:08] dmsuperman: I think I may have just figured it out [05:08] Piffer: you are right - they all do. They pretty much have to [05:08] lindenle, all you have to do is go into the seamless button from the vbox window, tell it to download the iso, mount it to cd [05:08] dmsuperman I am confused alittle [05:08] bed. back later. Peace. [05:08] millertime_018, you an remove it from synaptic in the admin menu [05:08] lindenle, then inside windows vm, install it, reboot, and choose Seamless integration from the vbox window and it should work [05:08] idleone, thanks, that was a lot of good info. not too much on how it works though, just mainly install notes... [05:08] how do i do that? system>...? [05:08] I just mounted a new harddrive that is type ntfs --- I am surprised that simply right clicking it doesn't present a "format disk" option, so I am wondering wehre I go to find that [05:08] dmsuperman well I am trying to get grub to boot from windows boot loader [05:09] You have to go faaaaar back in time to find a BIOS that did not allow you to change that, and then you'll probably have a DIN keyboard plug as well :-) hehe [05:09] how to send custom smiley gif in pidgin? [05:09] dmsuperman: yes, how do i enable seamless with the VBManager? [05:09] lindenle, it does force the windows taskbar overtop of your main taskbar, but I either just hide it or unlock it and move it to 1 side [05:09] millertime_018, menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager, use the search button, type limewire it will show up in hte list , see the green button, right lick uninstall [05:09] lindenle, from the vbox window with your guest OS, from the main menu, there's a button for Enable seamless mode [05:09] so mack are you in here? [05:09] We're WAY many people in this chan...1200 + :-) Ubuntu rules [05:09] lindenle, or something to that effect, it's in the first menu [05:09] /usr/bin/poff: No pppd is running. None stopped. but when I run pppeoconf it says somethinf is already running? [05:09] dmsuperman: also it looks terrible ... I mean without the windows.... [05:10] Where do you go to format a disk? [05:10] gidean try sudo killall pppd [05:10] millertime_018 i suggest frostwire instead [05:10] CapaH, fdisk [05:10] dpsuperman, help! [05:10] lindenle, what do you mean? [05:10] Danish989, what happened now? [05:10] rullie: There is no simple gui way? [05:10] will try .. [05:10] I mean I can always use newfs etc but -- thought there was a simpler 'clickable' way [05:11] gidean if that doesn't work, give the exact error message it gives [05:11] dmsuperman: I want to start it this way : VBoxVRDP -startvm "winXP" [05:11] there is a simple way [05:11] use a live cd [05:11] dmsuperman when I try to load file ubuntu.bin or bootsect.lnx all I get is GRUB and frezzes [05:11] if you want to reformat the drive [05:11] just a quick question: does hardy install from windows but onto an xfs partition? [05:11] htmljunkie: It is an external drive [05:11] ohhh [05:12] CapaH, why do you assume having button means simpler? [05:12] hey, through SSH, can I send my ubuntu system into hibernation and then wake it up through ssh again? [05:12] ok...brb [05:12] djik: Go to #Ubuntu+1 for question concerning Hardy [05:12] rullie: I don't -- but I like to know the full featureset I have available with Ubuntu [05:12] Robinson, no [05:12] Robinson if it's hibernating, it's not listening to anything [05:12] lindenle, you mean start your vbox from the commandline? i'm not sure how, i usually just open vbox, start the os, then close the vbox window and turn on seamless [05:13] shadow420, that's over my head, sorry [05:13] Robinson: Only via another system and WoL... which I guess spells 'No' :-( [05:13] CapaH, with gnome, you mean :) [05:13] dmsuperman and I used sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/username/Desktop/ubuntu.bin bs=512 count=1 [05:13] yes with gnome [05:13] correct :) [05:13] Piffer: no indeed, its an old old p3 system [05:13] dmsuperman: and what about it looking bad? [05:13] need to run pppoeconf but when I do I get: Sorry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access │ [05:13] │ Concentrator of your provider did not respond. Please │ [05:13] │ check your network and modem cables. Another reason │ [05:13] │ for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe │ [05:13] │ process which controls the modem. === bbuuzz is now known as buzzsaw [05:13] gidean: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:13] em, is there a similar state to hibernation where fans are off and hd is off also ? [05:13] robbysmith, yeah true. i guess i just need a good image/guide to do the calibration with [05:14] Wonder if you can setup a modem and do a wake on dial... but that would suck, cause who has phone lines these days? heh [05:14] gidean ah, if ps -A | grep ppp doesn't come back with anything, then it's the first reason in the error message [05:14] i have tried https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/firewall-configuration.html many times over and i cant seem to get masquerading to work :-( [05:14] dmsuperman do you have an Idea how I can get windows to boot grub? [05:15] trying to get my father online....over the phone... :( [05:15] lindenle, it doesn't look bad to me. Of course, the XP windows don't match the ubuntu theme, but you could always patch your windows uxtheme.dll and find a similar theme [05:15] he loves ubuntu....'cept right now :) [05:15] I'm looking for help with updating, I keep getting an error "bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing." when I run 'apt-get update' (on the gutsy/main package, if that makes any difference) [05:15] shadow420, no, i did it the other way [05:15] gidean: Welcome to the wonderful world of IT support [05:15] shadow420, i have grub boot windows [05:15] what means "cyber man" [05:15] gidean you might find it easier to let the modem handle the connection, try pointing the browser at 192.168.0.1 , 1.1, 0.254, 1.254 and see if you can configure the modem directly. [05:15] dmsuperman: looks like 8 colors to me... [05:15] LOL I'm IT lmao [05:15] shadow420, weren't you the one I fixed it for earlier? [05:15] gidean, just give up haha [05:16] lindenle, even with seamless turned off? [05:16] lol [05:16] Hello one and all [05:16] dmsuperman I have went that way and windows gave me sh** fits about it [05:16] shadow420, I just installed Ubuntu first, then installed windows, then re-wrote grub and chainloaded to windows XP [05:16] pelo no I don't think so [05:16] configure the modem? [05:17] Pelo, there was another shadow but it was Shadow and then some numbers [05:17] soooooo, no wannabe-hibernation state that still leaves which can awoken from ssh ? [05:17] shadow420, that also lets me hibernate windows, since it goes to grub first and won't force me to resume my hibernation [05:17] dmsuperman: changed it back to 32 bit and it looks ok [05:17] maybe look into wake on LAN, but I know nothing [05:17] If I want to format a disk to be useful in a variety of platforms such as Open/FreeBSD - Linux - etc -- what is the best format to use? ext3 ? ufs ? [05:17] do what to the modem? [05:17] dmsuperman, ah, so many shadows [05:17] lindenle, 16bit you mean? er, 24bit, one of the 2 [05:17] Pelo, heh, yeah [05:17] 24 [05:18] dmsuperman how do i move the taskbar? [05:18] so, has anybody gotten the Kate tab bar extension to work? [05:18] lindenle, right click the taskbar, disable Lock taskbar [05:18] dmsuperman well I don't use hybernation and windows I use it more often than linux [05:18] dmsuperman: did that now? [05:18] lindenle, then just drag it somewhere else. I have dual monitor, so I like to just put it on the top of my right monitor, but i'm not sure what you'd like [05:18] gidean yes, most pppoe modems can give you a dhcp addres. Make sure the file /etc/network/interfaces has the two lines: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp , then run sudo ifup eth0 . then if you get an inet address in ifconfig , eth0 stanza, you can talk to the modem [05:19] can i put it on the left? [05:19] I'm looking for help with updating, I keep getting an error "bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing." after it downloads the gutsy/main package (this is using 'apt-get update') [05:19] shadow420, regardless, i find it easier just to install grub and chainload windows xp [05:19] dmsuperman I use linux to play some games and other project [05:19] CapaH, i thik ufs [05:19] what is the recommended java IDE for ubuntu gutsy? [05:19] gooody: eclipse? [05:19] especially since windows xp is more likely to get reinstalled, so when i do that i can just re-fix grub. it's more of a pain to get windows bootloader reinstalled and booting to grub for me [05:20] shadow420, I have switched to linux full-time now, windows is only for games and some windows only apps i need for work === Weramasu is now known as Taco === Taco is now known as Tirams [05:21] dmsuperman well I am looking the other way so when windows does need to be reinstalled all I have to do is add the line to the bootloader then I get linux back [05:21] dmsuperman: what games do you play? [05:21] i have a ATI card and i've been forced to use Hardy Heron, but I want to switch to Gutsy. Is there a way to repackage the ISO so that the proper graphics drivers are in the livecd? [05:21] shadow420, I personally would find it easier to reinstall grub, all you have to do is run grub, root (hdX,Y), setup (hdX) [05:21] shadow420, otherwise you have to re-find the ubuntu.bin file again don't you? [05:22] no [05:22] SeaPhor, Assassin's Creed lately, UT3, COD4, Supreme Commander [05:22] dmsuperman ➡ get a playstation 2 and an xbox 360. then you will have one more reason to get rid of windows [05:22] dmsuperman I keep a copy on my external HD [05:22] noob messing around w/AIGLX on a 64bit followed the walk through rebooted and was prompted system was crashing..... selected diff option and loaded fine any help? [05:22] vegastrike [05:22] dmsuperman: Can i make x-paste work with it? [05:23] LiMaO, no, not a console fan. I don't care that windows is on my system, I just use ubuntu primarily. Plus, Supreme commander isn't on console :P [05:23] which Windows/Ubuntu can read and write too [05:23] lindenle, you man a clipboard that works between guest and host? [05:23] dmsuperman: was asking because most of the games i want to play actually play better in Ubuntu linux, Delta force, star Wars, City of Heroes, etx [05:24] lindenle, it's just a normal option, i think it was even enabled by default [05:24] you should try crossfire ;-) fun linux baised game :-0 [05:24] SeaPhor, yeh, the games i play are pretty demanding and i highly doubt they'll work too well in linux [05:24] How do I format as ufs ? there is no such thing as mkfs.ufs ? [05:24] SeaPhor, Oh yeah, and Halo, Halo 2, and Crysis [05:24] dmsuperman: have you tried Cedega? [05:25] SeaPhor, This machine was really built to game, but I use it as a heavy workstation for photoshop and cinema4d work too [05:25] cedega, wine, which one is good? [05:25] SeaPhor, no, what genre is it? [05:25] dmsuperman ➡ the only game i've ever missed on windows is age of empires. oh man i used to love that [05:25] can anyone tell me where the image file for the Volume icon that pops up when I hit the keyboard volume button is? [05:25] LiMaO, I couldn't go without my Supreme Commander, that's the most epic of all epic RTS games [05:25] dmsuperman: Cedega is like Wine,,, only better, for latest games [05:26] dmsuperman: does not seem to work for me... [05:26] what packages contains the madwifi modules in ubuntu? I can't determine it... it seems as though linux-restricted-modules contains ath_hal but not ath_pci for example [05:26] is xgl compiz worth the time it takes to set it up on 64bit? [05:26] lindenle, I think there's an option for it somewhere. i don't have it open, and I can't open yet until I reboot so I can't look for you [05:26] SeaPhor, _really_ [05:26] or should i just say f it [05:27] SeaPhor, Is there a compatibility list? [05:27] is cedega only for games? [05:27] SeaPhor, I'd LOVE to at least get guitar hero working on ubuntu [05:27] what about windows app? [05:27] then I could survive without booting into windows for days at a time [05:27] cwall0868: Compiz is pretty much worth it period :) [05:27] dmsuperman: ooooooohhhhh yeah,,, 1 sec [05:27] can u help me then [05:27] is guitar hero for the gays? [05:27] gays? [05:27] ...? [05:27] dmsuperman: Get virtualbox if wine wont do it [05:28] did u watch southpark? [05:28] Pre-Order Supreme Commander 360 - We're thrilled to announce that Supreme Commander for the Xbox 360 is now available for pre-order. [05:28] dmsuperman: http://games.cedega.com/gamesdb/ [05:28] cwall0868: Even if you have a 64 bit proc, install 32 bit Ubuntu -- and Compiz is enabled anyways out of the box [05:28] dmsuperman ➡ good news at their site ;) it's a pity you're not into consoles heh [05:28] g'night folks [05:28] how does virtual box work? [05:28] kelvin911 ➡ very well [05:28] thats all i needed to know [05:28] can i install winxp? [05:28] thankx [05:28] It allows you to create a virtual machine to run multiple OS simultaneously [05:28] kelvin911 ➡ sure you can [05:28] cool [05:28] or can i just use the one already installed in c:\? [05:28] LiMaO, it couldn't ever possibly measure up, the sheer automation and management skills require a keyboard [05:28] HOLY CRAP [05:29] dmsuperman: PM me if you want mor info [05:29] SeaPhor, I love you, that list has Supreme Commander [05:29] AND forged alliance [05:29] sadly, no guitar hero [05:29] LiMaO: can i run everything in virtual box if i have xp installed there? [05:29] you can but it would make no sense [05:29] kelvin911, everything but games [05:29] just run the stuff that you are forced to [05:30] kelvin911 ➡ well, virtualbox will not be able to run 3d games inside your xp installation [05:30] so why bother offering 64bit? you dont need to get to indepth [05:30] LiMaO: Hmm are you sure? I have heard otherwise [05:30] then there is no point installing it then [05:30] no [05:30] the only thing xp is there for me is game [05:30] it definitely won't, CapaH [05:30] kelvin911: What games? [05:30] kelvin911, then there's really no point [05:30] eh do a dual boot then [05:30] winning eleven, PES4 [05:31] doom3, quake4 [05:31] kelvin911 ➡ as i said a few minutes ago, get a playstation 2 and an xbox 360. avoid the ps3. you will be much happier [05:31] nfs [05:31] alright, don't want to be a total hypocrite but we should probably get back onto topic [05:31] doom3/quake4 will work I am quite sure in Wine -- check the list [05:31] I just edited some values in xorg.conf, how do I reboot Xwin so I can see the changes, without rebooting the whole OS? [05:31] no money [05:31] what is the difference between sleep and hibernate ?? [05:31] then again I really have no say in the matter, just sayin is all [05:31] kelvin911 ➡ doom 3 has a native linux version [05:31] jwoah12, Ctrl + Alt + Backspace [05:31] LiMa0, whay not ps3.I love it [05:31] jwoah12, and if that doesn't show the changes, then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [05:31] Robinson: sleep just puts the system into temporary low power mode, hibernate writes memory to disk and turns off entirely [05:31] i have doom3 and quake4 but the cdkey i got doesnt work in linux [05:32] thanks [05:32] hi [05:32] not working...cant getinto modem [05:32] Robinson: sleep more or less turns off everything but memory (and maybe a few other things) [05:32] kernfreak ➡ not too many titles, slow in sports games. that's what i've heard... never played any title on it myself. [05:32] calc: does sleep shutdown fans and hard drive and only leave RAM and CPU ? [05:32] NOT TRUE [05:32] i installed rtcw with wine its awesome [05:32] srry bout the caps [05:32] gidean: Is it some usb dsl/cable modem? [05:32] Robinson: i think sleep even turns off the cpu, or at least puts it in a very low power mode, yea [05:32] can anyone tell me how to uninstall ubuntu? [05:32] I even have Ubuntu on my ps3 [05:32] lol [05:32] dsl modem [05:32] Robinson: with hibernate the system is completely off, you can remove the battery, etc [05:33] Danish989, install something else over it [05:33] I wanted to try installing ubuntu on my ps3 [05:33] Danish989, hahahah,why [05:33] but first i wanted to check on my pc, and now look what happened [05:33] calc: okay cool thanks... do you have any idea if it watched network packets while in sleep ? [05:33] how does ubuntu running in ps3? [05:33] gidean: OK, dsl but is it connected to computer by usb/ethernet/wireless/other? [05:33] Who gave me that ubuntu alternative iso link before? [05:33] is it good? [05:33] I lost the link [05:33] Anyone? [05:33] I don't even see the OS choice menu and GRUB gets Error 22 each time it tries to load [05:33] LiMaO, is cedega in the repos? [05:33] Robinson: i think you can set your system to do so, depending on the bios [05:33] Grub Loading Stage 1.5 .. Error 22 [05:33] etherneat [05:33] <|LiMaO|> dmsuperman ➡ no, not cedega.. just wine [05:33] dmsuperman: Suppose there is no way to integrate it with kicker...i.e. for task switcher... [05:33] |LiMaO|, oh [05:33] calc: hum I guess you're reffering to Wake on Lan [05:33] dmsuperman: no not in repos === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [05:34] <|LiMaO|> damn, ctrl+alt+backspace killed my actual x, not the virtualbox one [05:34] you can install another os on ps3 kelvin911 [05:34] lindenle, highly doubt it, but seamless has only been included in the latest release [05:34] Who gave me that ubuntu alternative iso link before? [05:34] I need the link again [05:34] patrickva, why dont you just download via Torrents? [05:34] |LiMaO|: Thats what it's supposed to do? [05:34] calc: which my old system would't dream of having ...but it would be cool if it watched network packets, it would be the next best thing to Wake-on-Lan [05:34] lindenle, i'm sure those types of things will be added in later versions [05:34] gidean: OK. Does it have a web interface? [05:34] Robinson: sorta, its probably the same overall, wake on lan can also turn on a completely 'off' system, as long as the nic has power [05:34] why do u wanna install linux in ps3? [05:34] |LiMaO|, heh, what did you expect? [05:34] that's how I downloaded it, patricckva, using torrents it was a lot faster [05:34] what is ps3 [05:34] how can i identify myself on this irc network? [05:34] kelvin911, because that's what linux geeks do === max is now known as maxspacemax [05:35] like this: my father moved...when he hooked up his modem it worked (7.10) but the net was cut off eventually...he called, it was reinstated but now it wont work...modem is on (green lights) but the box won't connect to the net [05:35] kelvin911, nobody knows why, it's a phenomena [05:35] ddif : Ps3 is Playstation 3 [05:35] kelvin911: its a cheap computer for tv [05:35] <|LiMaO|> dmsuperman ➡ i was so immersed on the virtualbox that i forgot of the actual system running it lol [05:35] !register | tr-33 [05:35] tr-33: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [05:35] dmsuperman: Stupid netflix !!!!! [05:35] !register [05:35] Well do you have the torrent file? [05:35] not sure I'm afraid....att modem [05:35] dmsuperman: i hate windows [05:35] * calc is actually going to install linux on ps3 when i get some spare time as well [05:35] lindenle, why? [05:35] tr-33, /msg nickserv identify ** [05:35] ok sorry 1 more thing then im leaving..... anyone running moblock? does it do what it says it does? or is it garbage? [05:35] lindenle, why at netflix, obviously why for hating windows hah [05:35] how big is the hd in ps3? [05:35] ddif, thanks. [05:35] mine is 60gb [05:35] <|LiMaO|> kelvin911 ➡ there are different versions of it [05:35] can anyone tell me what to do? Grub keeps getting Error 22 while it tries to load stage 1.5 and I can't even get into windows xp [05:35] kelvin911: 40/60/80 depending on model [05:35] dmsuperman: Cuz i need windows to watch the instant stuff [05:35] Danish989 do you have the torrent file? [05:36] how much is ps3? [05:36] you can put any sata in it [05:36] lindenle, yup, i have to as well [05:36] kelvin911: ubuntu takes ~ 2gb so plenty of space [05:36] $300? [05:36] kelvin911: $400 same as a low end bluray player [05:36] dmsuperman: them and mlb.com [05:36] lindenle, you could always try running ies4linux, does that play netflix? [05:36] gidean: OK. Because if it's in "bridged" mode then you need the pppoeconf to make computer do the auth. If it's in "router" mode then you need to go into it's web interface and have it do the auth [05:36] dmsuperman: no idea [05:36] can u get the 3d desktop on ps3 too? [05:36] |LiMaO|, aw, cedega costs money :'( [05:36] kelvin911: no idea [05:36] gidean: For the web interface modem and computer need IPs that can talk to each other [05:36] dmsuperman: but this is pretty slick too [05:36] genii: thanks so much... [05:37] cedega costs $5 a month [05:37] lindenle, yeh [05:37] * calc wants to use firefox from his 61" 1080P tv [05:37] Its a 2wire modem....gonna google for the ip [05:37] cedega is not free? [05:37] nvm i got it [05:37] can anyone please tell me where the image file for the Volume icon that pops up when I hit the keyboard volume button is? [05:37] cedega costs $5 a month [05:37] and thank you nickrud [05:37] can anyone help me? Grub doesnt load, it goes into an error .. can anyone tell me what command to put in the terminal so the windows xp loader loads instead of grub and i can get into windows? [05:37] is cedega somthing like wine? [05:37] <|LiMaO|> dmsuperman ➡ you may not need cedega. wine may be enough to satisfy your gaming needs [05:37] thanks anyways calc ! :) [05:37] still havn't solved but I REALLY appreciate the help [05:38] how can they charge u money once u installed? [05:38] Danish989, from windows recovery console, type "fixboot" and "fixmbr" and that'll restore windows bootloader [05:38] Peddy, /usr/share/app?not sure? [05:38] Is there a way to automatically remove a phrase from the filenames of a big group of files? [05:38] I was wondering. I just ordered a new harddrive, a 250gb seagate. should i give /home its own partition ? [05:38] !icon [05:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about icon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:38] dmsuperman, cant I use some command in the terminal? how do I get into the windows recovery console, anyway? [05:38] |LiMaO|, I highly doubt it for a big complicated game like SupCom. I've run into little bugs with simple apps like notepad++ [05:38] kelvin911: updates [05:38] ddif: that directory does not exist :O [05:38] SperMite, yes [05:38] kelvin911: cedega is the kind of program where you want the updates [05:38] Danish989, terminal is for ubuntu, there's no way to install the windows bootloader with ubuntu :s [05:38] isn't there someway I can just make ubuntu go away, and make Grub go away? [05:39] why calc? [05:39] and go back to using Windows xp? [05:39] dmsuperman: have you looked up the game you want to play on winehq? === |LiMaO| is now known as LiMaO [05:39] cedega costs $5 a month by your choice after the initial first $5, i still pay because i like the product and the support i get and the DB updates [05:39] it will expire? [05:39] kelvin911: i'm pretty sure you can get most of cedega for free just not the parts that are licensed from eg macrovision, etc [05:39] Peddy, then it is /usr/share/application/,not sure,go and see [05:39] ddif: oh, sorry. Browsing ;) [05:39] kelvin911: they update it to work with newer games, to work better with older games, etc [05:39] cpk1, no, not yet. i've got a bad taste in my mouth for wine since trying to run simple apps like uTorrent (which was designed specifically for wine, btw) and notepad++ [05:39] I dont like to use cedega on principle === msuiter__ is now known as demonspork [05:40] ok [05:40] cpk1, so i've just been running a seamless vbox [05:40] kelvin911: ask SeaPhor for details, i don't play games, i just know about what they do [05:40] i guess $5 a month isnt that bad [05:40] doesnt wine come with notepad? [05:40] dmsuperman, if I just format the ubuntu partition, will that remove ubuntu? [05:40] Danish989: search for the fixmbr on google [05:40] dmsuperman ➡ how long have you been away of wine?! i use undercoverxp, photoshop, dvdshrink and some other windows apps just fine with cedega... never had a single problem with it [05:40] big mac crappy meal cost more than $5 [05:40] Danish989: You get into windows recovery console by booting the windows cdrom and choosing to boot into the windows recovery console. From there is where you isue the commands like fixboot or fixmbr or so on, I'm sure they can assist far more with this in ##windows channel [05:40] kelvin911: its the price of a coke in london ;-) [05:40] how to connect to a 'B' only wifi access point? [05:40] 'w' reports that I have 6 bash terminals running when I only have one + X (2), is that normal? =/ [05:40] kelvin911, for you, maybe, but $5 a month to play games i already own and could just reboot into windows to play isn't cool for me [05:40] 5 bucks for a coke? [05:40] LiMaO, 3 days ago [05:40] cpk1, notepad++ is an open source programmers text editor [05:40] and as i found out today its cheaper than the cost of 12oz coke in Prague airport [05:40] Danish989, sure [05:40] kelvin911: ~ $4 from what i recall [05:41] calc: so £1.50, or about $918.72 :P [05:41] Danish989: If you format the ubuntu partition the boot manager will not be affected [05:41] The taskbar at the top right corner of my screen has remnants of an icon from wine that I had open earlier. Is there a way to restart the taskbar or something so it cleans up? [05:41] genii: so that means my computer will still continue to try to boot Grub? [05:41] LiMaO, neither app would run properly 3 days ago, so i've just got my seamless vbox. i like it more anyway, wine (even with a good skin) makes the windows look so terribly ugly and hard to read :P [05:41] CorbinFox: iirc the cokes when i was there were ~ £2 each [05:41] Danish989: Yes [05:41] how does grub work? [05:41] my intel 3945ABG can connect to G wifi router but cannot connect to 'B' access point wifi [05:41] Danish989, like i said, windows recovery console, "fixboot" "fixmbr" [05:41] Danish989: The fix has been exlained to you [05:41] is it in the c:\ ? [05:41] price when up since i went there a few summers ago then :P [05:41] !grub | kelvin911 [05:41] kelvin911: 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 [05:41] and they wanted 60 Cz per coke in the prague airport this morning [05:42] how do i get 32 bit apps to work in 64bit ubuntu? [05:42] * calc is back in houston now, where cokes are cheap and free refills... are free ;-) [05:42] genii, Danish989 If you are using grub and you remove your Ubuntu partition grub will no longer work, even to boot another OS [05:42] elphias, multilib [05:42] what if for some reason grub is gone, how to fix it? [05:42] dmsuperman ➡ i think you have a problem i used to have a long time ago.. when fonts and windows were ugly as hell within wine apps... [05:42] DBautell: what is the command for that or just search synaptic? [05:42] elphias, one second [05:42] Jordan_U: Actually, yes if he used / for /boot that is correct [05:42] like if i can only boot in winxp how to fix the boot so i can choose the bootup screen again? [05:42] calc: im in rosenberg! [05:43] genii, That is the default configuration in Ubuntu [05:43] LiMaO, yeah, but that's only a minor problem. the main problem was that uTorrent, designed for use in Wine, wouldn't even work well, so I'm just avoiding it [05:43] LiMaO, I've found plenty of good alternatives anyway [05:43] SeaPhor: ah cool, i'm near willowbrook [05:43] anyone? any ideas why i can connect to 'G' wifi AP but can not to 'B' wifi AP? [05:43] So I only made changes to the touchpad section of xorg.conf, and then did ctrl alt backspace, and not its running in low graphics mode and can't detect my display [05:43] dmsuperman ➡ dude, uTorrent works perfectly in here.. better than Transmission [05:43] LiMaO, KTorrent is a decent alternative to uTorrent, and Kate is an even better alternative to Notepad++ [05:43] ddif: not there, any other suggestions? [05:43] !grub | kelvin911 [05:43] kelvin911: 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 [05:43] i was in Prague for the GoOOCon meeting [05:43] LiMaO, no clue why I don't then :s [05:43] elphias, looks like apt-get multilib, but it's been a while since I set mine up [05:43] jordan_u so I will be stuck without an operating system booting? [05:43] calc: no idea, lol- just moved here [05:44] er [05:44] SeaPhor: do you know where I-45 and FM1960 is? [05:44] gcc-multilib? [05:44] dmsuperman ➡ let me show you a screenshot, just a second [05:44] Danish989: To replace the grub boot manager, it needs to be overwritten with a new Windows one. This is done as previously explained by booting to Windows CD, selecting Recovery Console and then issuing the commands fixboot and fixmbr. [05:44] Danish989, If you do not make another /boot partition or install another bootloader, yes [05:44] SeaPhor: north of downtown [05:44] when u do sudo grub in liveCd whats the password? [05:44] calc: yep i work at HP [05:44] LiMaO, it's not looks. a lot of buttons are unresponsive until i click twice [05:44] kelvin911, It shouldn't ask for a password [05:44] nope v.v [05:44] ok so do I first fix the boot problem or format the partition? [05:44] SeaPhor: ah i used to work for HP, so i probably live about 5mi from where you work [05:44] kelvin911: There isn't one [05:45] SeaPhor: if you work off of SH249 [05:45] LiMaO, I'll take a look though, where's the compatability list for wine? I'm not seeing it right on the front of the site [05:45] goggleng the issue i came acrost something that requires your to force [05:45] Danish989, What problem are you having exactly? [05:45] hey i have a question is it good idea to have root password and my normal user password the same? [05:45] that dosen't sound right to me...why should you have to -force something to work? o.o [05:45] calc: yep just before louetta [05:45] when I start my computer, Grub starts loading stage 1.5 and then it gets an Error 22 [05:45] there has to be a way to get 32bit apps to work in 64bit ubuntu [05:45] and after that , nothing happens at all .. [05:45] kelvin911, You should not have a root password, just use sudo [05:45] SeaPhor: i worked there until ~ june 2007 when i started working for Canonical [05:45] kelvin911, you don't really have a root password [05:45] i mean in ubuntu now liveCD [05:45] SeaPhor: looks like a really long drive from rosenberg though [05:45] not [05:46] kelvin911, same thing [05:46] calc: any chance you're hiring? [05:46] !root | kelvin911 [05:46] dmsuperman ➡ http://appdb.winehq.org/ [05:46] kelvin911: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [05:46] kelvin911, still, just use sudo, and you don't ever really need root [05:46] SeaPhor: they always are :) http://www.ubuntu.com/employment [05:46] i think i did set a password for root [05:46] SeaPhor: most positions are work from home [05:46] calc: yes, it is for the lousy amount that the recruiter is paying [05:46] for some reason i set a password for root [05:47] elphias, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins#head-80c70f72e09f16a22241fdfa70c2cb373ee48d70 [05:47] LiMaO, yeh, none of the games I want are suppored by wine [05:47] it ia32-libs and such [05:47] Is there a way to automatically remove a phrase from the filenames of a big group of files? Say, getting rid of the D20 from the beginning my .pdfs in my D&D folder? [05:47] jordan_u do I format the ubuntu partition first or fix the booting problem? === elphias is now known as cute_bettong [05:48] hello, i have assined an alias , on my NIC, but the "Firestarter" don't detect it! what should i do [05:48] ah, nvm [05:48] it has supcom [05:48] I'm mounting a share as ssh:// in nautilus, is there any media players that can see that?

[05:51] this is an mdadm question - I absentmindedly tried to execute 'mkfs.ext2' while the array was building, but quickly terminated mkfs when it started to write the inode tables. am I screwed? should I overwrite the hard drives with zeros and try mdadm --create again?

[06:01] amenado: it is equal to 1 [06:01] i wonder [06:01] kelvin911: According to distrowatch it's this distribution [06:01] ubuntu [06:02] distro wars are totally offtopic ;) [06:02] AliRezaTaleghani-> do you have a client now? can they ping your 192.168.1.1 === gaurdro is now known as gaurdro|away [06:02] nickrud: Yes I agree [06:02] nickrud, we haven't been ontopic for about an hour [06:02] :P [06:02] kelvin911: checking the number of people in respective channels (#ubuntu and #fedora) will give you a slight idea...

[06:03] Odd-rationale, exactly right [06:03] kelvin911, none of them are dead [06:03] kelvin911, it's not a battle like windows [06:03] AliRezaTaleghani-> whats the content of /etc/resolv.conf of those client? [06:03] kelvin911, if you make a distro that even a single person likes, you've succeeded [06:03] why im signed out just now? [06:03] kelvin911, it's about customizing to your own likes, rather than following the crowd [06:04] kernfreak, I installed both xgl and compiz manager and now compiz works, but on the second monitor I have just a blank screen. I can see the mouse pointer on it if I move it there, but nothing else [06:04] rockysynerg1 not sure what you're asking, you want to keep ubuntu and install windows again? [06:04] amenado: i use OpenDNS (207.67.222.222) [06:04] kelvin911: my suggestion is to try a distro that seems to interest you. You will learn a lot. Decide for yourself. don't just listen to anyone who says that one distro is the best [06:04] brunotorres, can you move windows over there? perhaps you just have a black wallpaper [06:04] I also don't have two monitors on system -> preferences -> screen resolution [06:04] kelvin911: hint: virtualbox helps too... [06:04] nickrud: you are right. [06:04] i try mandrake 3 years ago, didnt like it [06:04] AliRezaTaleghani-> the client can ping that address 207.67.222.222 ? [06:04] now i try ubuntu, wow its so nice [06:05] can someone please help me ? [06:05] maybe i am lazy i dont wanna type so many commands and ubuntu is for dummy like me [06:05] kelvin911, yeah...i'll agree there. generally, no distro is "bad" but i _really_ didn't like mandrake/mandriva [06:05] amenado: no :) this is the problme [06:05] rockysynerg1 you can make some space on the drive with gparted , and then install windows there. You'll have to fix grub, see the next link for a howto [06:05] how to set mode master on atheros based chipset [06:05] dmsuperman no.

It doesn't do that here in either [06:31] jefffromhell: I think you mean gksu/gksudo [06:31] bazhang: any package else! synaptic don't lcoate at root. [06:31] thanks bazhang [06:31] fortruth: give me an example package [06:31] yes ,that 's my means.! [06:32] can i put that in front of an applications launch command so that it will ask fro the pass when i launch it? [06:32] has arstechnica.com stopped responding for everyone, or just me? [06:32] jefffromhell: yes for gui apps [06:32] thanks [06:32] np ;] [06:32] can someone check, i've been wondering if i have problems with my local network config [06:33] levander, its dead for me too [06:33] bazhang, for example gksudo virtualbox is all i need? [06:33] ubutom: cool thanks [06:33] jefffromhell: no need to run virtual box as anything other than user if I recall correctly [06:33] hey can anyone give me a hand with some wine games? [06:34] I've got starcraft installed and Im just wondering how I would run it in a window [06:34] ubutom: That happens to me with Ars. I'll be in the middle of reading something I clicked on a couple of minutes ago. Then I'll click on another link which won't come up. About five minutes later Ars starts responding again. But, apparently it's a server issue and has nothing to do with my machine. [06:34] so far so good..no crashing or freezes [06:34] bazhang, everytime i try to run it as user, i tells me i dont have acess to the virtual box kernel or something [06:35] levander, i just pinged it and got no response [06:35] i am seeking help with mythtv [06:35] jefffromhell: then you need to install it I believe [06:35] on mythbuntu [06:35] anybody know how to make a wine app run in a window? [06:35] #ubuntu-mythtv would be the best bet robbysmith [06:35] ubutom: Yeah, thanks for checking. I'm sure it's just the server. I'm starting to think I'm imagining my network problems and have just been using several servers lately that are having problems. [06:36] bazhang, shouldnt it be installed since i install virtualbox [06:36] anybody know how to make a wine app run in a window? [06:36] bidget: That's the normal way wine runs apps. [06:36] jefffromhell: that would be logical yes, not sure that it is though [06:36] ehhh [06:36] all of the stuff Ive installed runs fullscreen [06:36] i mean, with sudo, it does work [06:36] levander, I know that problem, the first thing one thinks about is: "aaah, my network is broken again..." ;-) [06:37] bazhang: sorry, may be i have wrong diecribe. no any package have wrong. just the synaptic doesn't jump the the packages start with which i press [06:37] What is the service that provides the GNOME 'Service' System > Administration > Services > (Service Settings) > 'Audio settings management (alsa-utils)'? [06:37] fortruth: sounds like you want some function that does not exist in synaptic [06:37] bidget: I've only done it one time. But, all I did was "wine install.exe" and then "win appname.exe" and I got the appname program up in a window on my Ubuntu desktop. [06:37] hm [06:37] I see [06:38] I'll see if google has the answer :D [06:38] thanks though [06:38] bullgard4: Go into System -> Preferences -> Main Menu and see what program that menu item launches. Then "dpkg -S ". That's what I do. [06:38] it's not new function what i want. may be mistake of synaptic [06:39] bazhang is a android?

[06:45] affirmative [06:45] levander: I have done "System -> Preferences -> Main Menu" The Main Menu opened. I do not understand what do you mean by "and see what program that menu item launches." Simply calling the Main Menu does not launch any other program. Please explain. [06:46] well i installed ubuntu, but i think I installed GRUB on the wrong partition [06:46] amenado: What's sed? Is it something Ubuntu comes with, or do I hafta go install it? [06:46] I get Error 2 [06:46] Danish989-> are you root? [06:46] Danish989: are you running grub-install as root?

[06:47] Danish989: you need to preface the grub-install command with sudo [06:47] !sudo [06:47] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

Thanks for the help [06:50] patrickva: From ubuntu the drive is normally called sda [06:50] you should upgrade... [06:50] like [06:50] a year ago [06:50] timsandtoms-> that the same in windows, writing a script to automate things you'd like done [06:50] mrpockets: my bar at the top shows: IRC, Edit, Network, Discussion, Go, Help [06:51] What is the service that provides the GNOME 'Service' System > Administration > Services > (Service Settings) > 'Audio settings management (alsa-utils)'? [06:51] patrickva: On some linux the drive will be hda but they are same thing [06:51] mrpockets: oh where do i upgrade? I figured if it was an old version it would update automatically [06:52] bidget: There is a difference between 'update' and 'upgrade'. [06:52] mrpockets: I went to the website and 0.18 is the newest version lol [06:52] when the stable 8.04 comes out how would it be better to upgrade: fresh install or through update manager? [06:52] patrickva: The important thing to remember is don't put it on a subpartition like sda1 or such. Just sda [06:52] bullgard4: oh... I see... [06:52] but upgrade to what? [06:52] is xchat-gnome a shitty irc client? [06:52] evilbug your choice ask the folks in #ubuntu+1 for more opinions ;] [06:52] patrickva well right now windows has first rights to boot first but when we install grub to the MBR or the master HD grub will run then you can chainload windows [06:52] language please bidget [06:52] bazhang- thanks.

Can someone help me ? [07:05] Bidget- just highlight a server and click on Show Details.on Connection Options make sure Connect On Startup is checked. [07:06] that's all you need. [07:06] evilbug, k we'll see how it goes :D [07:06] I am running Ubuntu on VirtualBox in Windows and testing Wine. Ubuntu is kinda slow as compared to Windows *inside* VirtualBox and Wine is superslow. Anything I can do abou it? [07:06] Bailie- try it on another machine and NOT in VM [07:06] bazhang, what are you on about? [07:06] Bailie- if it's still slow,then it'll be slow. [07:06] newbieuu: what does cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf say the driver is? [07:07] bazhang, oh, that like 5 minutes ago [07:07] Bailie- what are you trying to run in wine? [07:07] evilbug: I have Windows and Ubuntu INSIDE VM, Windows is faster, why? [07:07] bazhang, i was merely making a humorous comment at how everybody jumped at him [07:07] bazhang, nothing trying to downplay anybody in here, i've done my fair share of helping myself :s [07:07] Bailie- oh...no clue,not good with VM's. [07:07] alright so anyway... anyone have any experience installing games with wine? I'm having a few performance issues, wondering what I can do to make it better [07:07] Bailie- maybe an anomaly. [07:08] What is the service that provides the GNOME 'Service' System > Administration > Services > (Service Settings) > 'Audio settings management (alsa-utils)'? [07:08] evilbug, VirtualBox is so easy, plus seamless integration is great [07:08] Bidget- you can't really make Wine faster. [07:08] evilbug, I was afraid of that [07:08] dmsuperman- i don't like VM,never will. [07:08] Bailie: you might consider wubi if you want an easier way of doing that [07:08] evilbug, it just sucks how on the wine website they list steam as having "platinum compatibility" or whatever, but the games still only run at 20fps hahaha [07:08] Bidget- just use windows for gaming,that's what i do. [07:08] When using sudo is there a way to pass the password on the command line rather than interactively? [07:09] benanz1: No [07:09] evilbug, yeah, it's looking like thats what I'll have to do [07:09] i installed ubuntu-server and just did a apt-get install ubuntu-destkop however i dont want it to auto start x every time how can i disable that? [07:09] benanz1: gksudo = gui sudo [07:09] I was thinking...in windows I disabled all special effects. And Ubuntu has more effects than windows originally did. Any way to disable ALL those effects? [07:09] Bailie: sure set them to none [07:10] Bidget- i wish every os would do gaming as well as win,then i could ditch it and be free of dumb issues that not even microsoft can fix or figure out. [07:10] bazhang: Where's that? [07:10] evilbug, I agree 100% man [07:10] I am writing a GUI app on the iPhone but need to call sudo -- can't figure out how to get the password without supplying it on the command line [07:10] Bailie: in appearances [07:11] benanz1: You need to a) sudo the app, or b) tweak sudoers. a is probably your better bet I guess. It really depends on what you're doing. [07:11] benanz1: Or, prompt the user. [07:11] just play linux biased games :-) [07:11] Bidget- i love it when i read/ear about microsoft execs having macs and not touching windows,ever. [07:11] i have been playing crossfire for YEARS and find it great [07:11] buzzsaw- what's wrong with you??? [07:12] buzzsaw- linux based games?????????????????? [07:12] what do you mean whats wrong with me? [07:12] NNNNNNNNOOOOOOO [07:12] well, can't prompt the user or sudo the app since both require interactively putting in the password and there's not gksudo-like facility for iPhone yet. [07:12] Bidget- what steam games do you have? [07:13] buzzsaw- busting your chops. [07:13] hello. [07:13] hey. [07:13] can somoene help me get dual montiors configured?

[07:17] spelling: see mib live games distro [07:17] is there a way to configure dual monitors with a gui? [07:17] I just instantly sprung on the one with -gnome cause I knew it would have a gui [07:17] What is apt-proxy? [07:17] I am just asking, because I am going to be switching to and from dual monitors to only a single monitor often. [07:17] Bidget- a console based irc client would be confusin as hell.

I hate iTunes, even if it would run smoothly in windows. [07:36] evilbug, It's more like Windows Media Player 10 [07:37] which was my favorite [07:37] dmsuperman- the screenshot i saw made me think of itunes/songbird. [07:37] i love the huge tree view of artists expanding to albums expanding to songs [07:37] dmsuperman I think a little piece of me just died with that remark. [07:37] evilbug, iTunes has that 4 panel layout of artist, album, song and playlist [07:37] dmsuperman- i quit liking wmp 4 years ago.

[08:14] gluonman: might be easiest for you to install 'zip' -- it's in the repos I think [08:14] no [08:14] yeah 7zip is nice [08:14] I found what I am looking for [08:14] gluonman- one sec. [08:14] thanks bazhang and simplexio [08:14] zcat[1], I'll look for zip in the repos and see what I can find. [08:14] gluonman, You can make it a regular zip file rather than a tarred gzipped file [08:14] gluonman: if she googles 7zip the first result should be the right place [08:14] gluonman- http://www.7-zip.org/ [08:14] just give her that link. [08:15] Jordan_U, how do you make a zip file in Linux? [08:15] does anyone have experience ith wine? [08:15] simplexio: sukarn@Rage:~$ sudo rm /media/storage/.Trash*/* gives - rm: cannot remove `/media/storage/.Trash*/*': No such file or directory [08:15] bazhang , sorry i was away . in xorg.conf file the driver is "nvidia" [08:15] evilbug, I guess making a zip file, if I can, would be better than instructing her to download something, because she frankly sucks at computers. [08:15] gluonman, In nautilus ( gnome ) right click it :) [08:15] WinRAR supports the following features: [08:15] meowludo- i do a little bit,tried to install steam but didn't get it to work :) [08:15] * Complete support for RAR and ZIP archives, and unpacking of ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7z and Z archives. Future versions of WinRAR are planned to include 7z creation.[1] [08:15] evilbug, I had to teach her how to restart. [08:15] * zcat[1] has given up on wine and moved onto the vodka.. [08:15] Jordan_U, thank you. [08:15] so perhaps it doesn't take care of tgz :) [08:15] gluonman- :) but just zipping won't make the file smaller. [08:15] gluonman, np [08:16] evilbug, What do you mean? [08:16] evilbug, doesn't it compress the files? [08:16] Rage: you could use find / -name "program that sould be in Trash" [08:16] tar and gz are tgz correct ay? [08:16] Rage: or find / | grep fileintrash [08:16] Jordan_U- it makes a file into a .zip but it doesn't actually resize it to something smaller. [08:16] Okay, so I got Ubuntu installed, however, when I'm trying to log in, it automatically logs me out and says there might be an installation problem since my session lasted less than 10 seconds [08:16] .tar.gz is the same as .tgz -- and .tar.bz2 is the same as .tbz [08:16] Does anyone know the deal? [08:17] evilbug: I think he needs it zipped to be able to send through msn [08:17] evilbug, That's surprising, you sure you aren't thinking of tar? [08:17] evilbug, it doesn't make it smaller, but it compresses it, right? [08:17] gluonman- correct. [08:17] evilbug: or maybe I'm yet again totally wrong [08:17] compress does not = make smaller? [08:17] Jordan_U- i'm sure. .rar can compress though. [08:17] evilbug, so that's fine. I don't need to shrink it, just be able to e-mail it. [08:17] Okay, so I got Ubuntu installed, however, when I'm trying to log in, it automatically logs me out and says there might be an installation problem since my session lasted less than 10 seconds [08:17] gluonman- k. [08:17] evilbug, It compresses for me [08:17] What's the deal? [08:17] ay- you can send anyhting through any messenger app. [08:18] patrickva: check logs [08:18] patrickva: if it booted the live CD ok, I'd say you messed up the install somehow [08:18] Jordan_U- it never did for me. [08:18] I used the alternative install cd [08:18] evilbug: yes but you can't accept .avis straight out of the box in LIVE Messenger evilbug [08:18] Check what logs? [08:18] wtf [08:18] fex [08:18] ay- .avis?never heard of it.] [08:18] evilbug, I think you must be mistaking .zip and .tar [08:18] patrickva: ahhh.. well, alt-F1 and log in there .. then you can check the logs [08:18] Jordan_U- nope. [08:18] evilbug: indeed you are mistaken [08:18] evilbug: mkay its a videclip format [08:18] pretty common [08:19] Jordan_U- i've never ".tar-ed" that much anyway. [08:19] *video [08:19] Well, what should I look for in these logs? [08:19] ay- gotcha [08:19] I'm a first-time installer [08:19] ;) [08:19] ughh, how do you get a processor to stop freq scaling? [08:19] So I have no idea what's going on [08:19] simplexio: thanks a lot. that showed me that it was in "/home/sukarn/.local/share/Trash/files/" [08:19] dfgas, You can use the frequency scaling applet [08:19] evilbug: nor can you recieve .exe's [08:19] can someone help with a module (bcm43xx) that i blacklisted but loads on boot? [08:20] since they are totally dangerous according to MS [08:20] ay- throug msn mess? [08:20] Live Messenger [08:20] has anyone here used openbox? [08:20] nxusr: rmmod [08:20] And when I try to view the log, nothing shows up. [08:20] how do you add startup programs for it [08:20] foibles: aye [08:20] At least that was the dealio last time I used it [08:20] im having a hell of a time finding out how [08:20] nxusr: assuming that you can go and remove it [08:20] Jordan_U- , bahzang- .zip never compressed anything for me,if anything it made it a bit larger. [08:21] evilbug: your linux experience seems a bit limited then [08:21] simplexio, i have do rmmod and also blacklisted it but it still loads [08:21] ay- i don't use live messenger X( what i use,you can send anything. [08:21] evilbug: it dosent compress videos, but make txt file with 0 and say tha again [08:21] what I use you can't send any files nor recieve any files [08:21] :( [08:21] Can anyone help me out? [08:21] Going to try loading a bunch of educational games in wine tomorrow.. anyone want to place bets on how many will actually work? :) [08:21] bazhang- i've set it to compress but it never did...so i switched over to .rar's and whatnot. [08:22] ay- what are you using? [08:22] patrickva: go console, and cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [08:22] patrickva: this is the live cd? have you considered using the alternate cd [08:22] Hi, i following the guide on the page http://stacktrace.org/index_html/200600912lirc-imon-the-debian-way to get lirc going, but I get stuck after stopping the deamons, can someone help me please? I just need to know what my "YourRemotesLIRCKernelModule" is, or how I would be able to find that out. FYI, I tried @ the #lirc channel first, but noone answered there and @ the #debian channel I got a sermon about not writing "plz" inste [08:22] ad of spelling it out. [08:22] I used the alternative cd [08:22] anyone know if windows mobile / pocket pc sync support has been enhanced for 8.04? [08:22] I said that before. [08:22] going by my current trach record, '0' is a fairly safe bet.. [08:22] Jordan_U, figured it out [08:22] htpc this is on ubuntu? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:23] yes [08:23] * evilbug says "good night" to all of you. [08:23] patrickva: and what were the errors you got using the alternate cd [08:23] lol good night :) [08:23] htpc1100: why ask in the debian channel then? [08:23] I say good morning :D [08:23] the session lasted less than 10 seconds error [08:23] It gives me a choice to view the error file [08:24] but nothing appears [08:24] But I'm off to lay some flooring [08:24] ta-ta [08:24] Are there any network security professionals present? [08:24] * zcat[1] wonders if perhaps 'error: no space on /' might have been reported during the install [08:24] Dustan: please ask your question [08:25] patrickva: the session? on the alternate cd there is no session [08:25] hello , when i try to build some driver i get this error : error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory , where can i find config.h ? [08:25] Because i've had the experience that many things work alike in both distris [08:25] Eh, I installed Ubuntu from the alternate cd [08:25] And I get into the log screen [08:25] bazhang: they got through the install, they can't log into the freshly installed desktop [08:25] Yeah.. [08:25] That's it. [08:26] thanks zcat[1] [08:26] What zcat[1] said [08:26] and I was sent menay times from here to there by others... so I tried there first this time [08:26] patrickva: try booting in safe mode and report the errors you get [08:26] patrickva: not sure if the install allows this, but the only time I've ver had that kind of login problem was when there was no free space in /home [08:26] Should I use the failsafe terminal? [08:26] Yeah. [08:27] patrickva: alf-F1 and you shoulf be able to log into the text terminal [08:27] Okay. [08:27] htpc1100: please pastebin your sources.list thanks [08:27] then df -h and make sure nothing is 100% used [08:27] What's the command to get the errors in terminal? [08:27] Okay. [08:27] Dustan: you should probably take that to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:27] brb [08:28] Well [08:28] What if something is 100% used? [08:28] less .Xsession.errors or something, I can't recall [08:28] how can i instal linux on a symbian device? [08:28] zubu which device [08:28] .. of course if there's no space in /home, it can't even log that as an error because there's no space to create the file [08:28] ciao [08:28] !list [08:28] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [08:28] any kinda mobile [08:28] that's probably it zcat[1] [08:28] Because I saw no file [08:28] or error reporting [08:28] even though there was an error [08:29] so what does df -h say? [08:29] i installed nVidia drivers , now when i try to change the "visual effects" to custom , i get the error message "desktop effects could not be enabled" . before i was getting all the effects except the cube . in the xorg.conf file the driver is "nvidia" [08:29] I have to reboot [08:29] Ill see though [08:29] zubu without some specificity we cant offer much help here [08:29] ill brb [08:29] newbieuu: how were the drivers installed [08:31] newbieuu, The cube is not enabled by default, that was a compiz preference , not a driver problem, now you DO seem to have a driver problem though :) [08:31] bazhang: symbian 6 devices.like the usual nokia phones [08:31] is kraken (botnet) any danger for ubuntu (linux) users? [08:31] coz. i thought that if ipod can have linux why cant mobile phones have too!! [08:31] fat_rat: depends on how secure your usage is; do you login as root? do you have a weak password? [08:31] does apt-get retrieve the same packages both in KDE and Gnome? [08:31] gvfs-fuse-daemon 18G 17G 749M 96% /home/zcat/.gvfs -- What is this? [08:32] any xen users on gutsy here? [08:32] Bailie: aye [08:32] im having stability issues.. kernel oopses/crashes [08:32] a configuration manual says "adding the 255.255.255.255 all-ones to your /etc/hosts file:" but my question is how can make it. when I add if to that file nothing would happen,any post or prefix needs ?to configure dhcp server [08:32] Oh.. gvfs , yeah.. I remember now :) [08:32] Okay, so my boot partition /dev/sdb2 is being used 100% [08:32] All 2 GBs of it [08:33] that cant be good [08:33] Does this mean anything? [08:33] good morning :) [08:33] first i enabled the Nvidia graphics driver in the restricted drivers , but i did not get the cube effect , so i downloaded the file and installed it following this guide http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.12.html [08:33] hmmm.. you generally dont need a seperate /boot .. and yes, being 100% used is probably bad [08:33] Okay.. [08:33] What can I do about it? [08:33] zubu have you tried anything or are you just wanting to chat about it [08:33] I used the guided partitioner from the alternate cd by the way [08:34] how much space did you allow for all of linux and how did you partiton it? [08:34] a 2GB boot? [08:34] Um. [08:34] I put it on a 1TB drive. [08:34] just wanting to chat about it i gues [08:34] guided partitoner seems to have a bug then! [08:34] 997GBs is the primary [08:34] 2Gbs is the boot [08:34] And a little less is the swap [08:34] twocarlo_: this is not a chat channel; #ubuntu-offtopic is for chat [08:34] yikes.. 2GB is too small for the /boot? [08:34] I guess [08:35] im not sure whats wrong, my usb drive has no files on it, but here is the df info for it [08:35] too big [08:35] Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on [08:35] /dev/sdb1 3991136 32 3991104 1% /media/disk-2 [08:35] what the heck is on there? [08:35] Uh okay. [08:35] Wtf. [08:35] So what can I do? [08:35] my /boot is 100Meg [08:35] kinda sounds like the installer got confused and tried to put the whole isntall into /boot [08:35] 100MB is more than enough [08:35] my /boot is 250mb [08:35] I'm about to give up on this [08:36] patrick.. can you check whats on there? [08:36] whats the problem patrickva [08:36] patrickva: you might want to do a bit of reading before you reinstall [08:36] I shouldnt have even had to use the alternate cd [08:36] the full cd didnt work [08:36] the problem? i just came in soz [08:36] it gave me problems [08:36] Whatever. [08:37] <_< [08:37] indeed; ubuntu should have all drivers free or not--sadly software patents do not allow that [08:37] damn hardy herron still won't work ottb with my 8800GT [08:37] :( [08:37] Sturmeh: you're kidding? damn! [08:37] #ubuntu+1 for help with hardy Sturmeh [08:38] yea i'm ok still on gutsy [08:38] was counting on hardy to fix that for another guy I help... [08:38] using win atm tho [08:38] maybe the release will fix it zcat[1]? [08:38] at the moment he has to rerun the nvidia installer every time there's a kernel update [08:38] yea same [08:38] hasn't been one for a while thank god [08:38] if you use envy then that is needed [08:38] Greetings, all. I am trying to pick a distro for my father's box - a PIII - 600MHz, 64MB SDRAM machine. I have a AMD 2000XP+, 512 MB DDR box and it ran the standard Ubuntu install so sluggishly that I ended up installing a command line install and adding Fluxbox to it. I won't have access to the internet while I am at my Dad's, and I think he needs something like KDE which will look familiar. Will KUbuntu 7.10 do the job for him? [08:39] Sturmeh: well, it might.. not counting on it if they were going to fix it they'd have done that already I thought [08:39] i use the offical nvidia driver install [08:39] Sturmeh, zcat[1] The current kernel is having problems with restricted drivers across the board, it may be fixed in the next kernel update ( or the previous version ) [08:39] lol i know [08:39] nooooo envy! bad! [08:39] good to hear Jordan_U [08:39] kksm19820117: not enough ram for kubuntu [08:39] use xubuntu [08:39] :D [08:40] * zcat[1] refuses to use envy or automatix or other horrible hacks.. I'll devise my own horrible hacks thanks, at least that way I know how to fix them when they break! [08:40] xubuntu wont run on that little either [08:40] true [08:40] automatix is a joke [08:40] envy is useful, but it's quite easy to do it manually [08:40] bazhang:i have heard about ubuntu mobile edition but they are based on very heavy machines.i was considering linux on mobile phones which donot have powerful processors and RAM. [08:40] bazhang: I should look at another distro then? Any recommendations? [08:40] kksm19820117: you can use apt-get to just get all install files to harddrive [08:41] zubu that is really not part of the /topic here unless you have tried something and need help fixing it [08:41] kksm19820117: apt-get -d [08:41] ubuntu is not a small distro... even xubuntu is still pretty heavy [08:41] he needs something like KDE ( to make it look like windows i suppose? ) [08:41] zcat[1] ma rig can handle it :P [08:42] Sturmeh: Yes. Dad is petrified of digital novelty. :\ [08:42] ok [08:42] kksm19820117: www.distrowatch.com has a plethora of choices for tiny installs [08:42] kksm19820117 the worst thing about the past generations [08:42] well, so can mine.. but no way I'd try to put it on any phone (do they make phones with a 2GHz CPU and a half-gig of ram?) [08:42] lawl phone [08:42] how bout eepc? [08:42] i will step on my research.could you please suggest me where to start! [08:42] yeah they call it the eeepc [08:42] 3e's? [08:42] :O [08:43] not sure it'd be the best distro for an eeepc even... [08:43] but if u want compiz fusion [08:43] :D [08:43] zubu no idea really; symbian are plenty good--you might check www.digg.com [08:43] how to config wlan [08:43] ok thanx. [08:43] i gave up with wlan ages ago [08:43] can the eeepc's video handle that? cool if it can! [08:43] and ran a wire [08:43] why [08:43] i'll post you if i get any kindaa lead on this topic. [08:43] wangfg: which card?

[08:57] !alternate | tbwen [08:57] tbwen: 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 [08:57] fish when you boot your cd, pick the "check cd" option [08:57] well i want to install ub to HD perm.

[09:02] ten more days then we can all unite [09:02] arstanj: seems there is no command. you have to browse manually in the filesystem [09:02] bazhang, yes [09:03] gregory: thanks man, its good to have sth like chkconfig in redhat/fedora [09:03] fish yes? not sure what you are referring to [09:03] fish did you test the disk? during initial boot [09:03] bazhang, yes [09:03] anybody know how to have a video file playing as a desktop background or have something like windows "active desktop" with a webpage as the desktop? [09:04] fish how about removing quiet and adding acpi=off to the boot parameters [09:04] Wayne^R2: VLC I think does that [09:04] Wayne^R2: using compiz? iirc you can set it there [09:04] bazhang: LSD|Ninja: compiz yes, vlc does it in windows, not sure about gnome/compiz [09:05] is there a way to use apt to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit?

I have a 6 seeries [09:14] no gui :-) [09:14] i have ubuntu-server [09:14] buzzsaw: /etc/network/interfaces is conf file i think [09:14] buzzsaw: man interfaces [09:14] buzzsaw, system administration network -- you will need the gateway address .1 or .254 are usually gateways I prefer to have the machines in the +50 range (and I don't use .1.* ;-)) [09:14] buzzsaw: attleast ther i did my conf and it works [09:15] I have been banging my head trying to get Ubuntu 7.10 working nicely with my atheros card. It is a mini-pci AR5212/AR5213 card, and although it connects to the AP, the connection is real flakey... Even when sitting directly under the AP... Any pointers? [09:15] Sturmeh, and yes, i had problems in FC8 with my 6 series, i had it narrowed down to a driver issue there but decided to go exclusivly with ubuntu so I am kind of restarting my search for assistance [09:15] fish I have to go out for a little while; I will be back in about 90 mins if you still need help also /msg ubotu bootoptions can give more info as well [09:15] Hello [09:15] bazhang, Alrighty, thank you bazhang [09:15] !yay | fish [09:15] fish: Glad you made it! :-) [09:16] What is the service that is provided by the GNOME 'Service' System > Administration > Services > (Service Settings) > 'Audio settings management (alsa-utils)' to the operating system or user?

[09:18] tocmo0nlord, Each one doing different things [09:18] tocmo0nlord: its a set of consoles to keep things sorted (back in the old days without X and stuff) [09:18] and for people who didnt know what screen is [09:18] tty7 is where the x screen is ? [09:18] tocmo0nlord, Usually, yes [09:19] what is tty1 for ? [09:19] is it like the admin site of it ? [09:19] side [09:19] tocmo0nlord, Having a terminal separate from X [09:20] Hi - Anyone here use remote desktop client Hamachi - If so ... - Could use some info on how to install [09:20] Can't locate in Synaptics [09:21] hello everyone, i've just installed songbird and i cant find it to open, where would i find it? [09:21] gregory: Yes, I did everything except build the latest version of madwifi... [09:22] kona: you already tried remote desktop client packaged for ubuntu. check in add/remove software [09:22] kona: you already tried remote desktop client packaged for ubuntu? check in add/remove software [09:23] tocmo0nlord, it comes about from the days when unix was really multi-user .. different people logged into the same computer but from different terminals - today, it allows you to have multiple sessions [09:23] if my x gets frozen ive gone in tty1 remove lock and start x again on tty1 but its still running on tty7 how could would i go on about this issue ? [09:23] sweet after working all day it finally works :-) [09:23] thank you every one :-) [09:23] gregory: not as yet - the Hamachi was highly recommended by a fellow I spoke with in Kona - Hawaii while on vaction. Said it works real well and likes it allot.... [09:24] jjh2o: is songbird an ubuntu package? === bbuuzz is now known as buzzsaw [09:24] Hi, could anyone here help me with samba on Gutsy? [09:24] i want to fix or restart x on tty7 not start a new one on tty1 [09:24] tocmo0nlord, the terminal X chooses is hardcoded in a script, it's normal [09:24] tocmo0nlord, that is the default - why do you think that it is starting on tty1 [09:25] tocmo0nlord: kill X and then you go tty7, in ubuntu X restarts automatically if its killed [09:25] tocmo0nlord, Why don't you just kill X? GDM will respawn it [09:25] kona: i understand. however chances are better for getting ubuntu-support if you could use the ubuntu substitute [09:25] how can i kill x ? [09:25] ShiroUsagi: try #ubuntu-server [09:25] hi, when i play some fullscreen games I still see the menu bars at the top and bottom of my screen. anyone know how to fix it? compiz is off [09:25] tocmo0nlord, several ways - one is CTRL ALT Backspace [09:25] tocmo0nlord: but if you dont wat it to respawn you /etc/init.d/gdm stop [09:25] gregory: running install of the latest Ubuntu beta 8.4 [09:25] gregory, thanks [09:25] let me try [09:25] tocmo0nlord, ctrl+alt+backspace or if it's really locked up alt+sysrq+k [09:26] kona: great, welcome to the club [09:26] !hardy | kona [09:26] kona: 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 [09:26] would this also work if it was frozen ?

[09:28] tocmo0nlord, it's usually the same key as printscreen [09:28] ah [09:28] i see it now lol [09:29] ubotu: yea - couldn't remember name of release - but that's it by golly - lik'n it allot - very nice - found my USB WiFi stick w/no problems - it's smooth sailing so far....

[09:44] right now we are running red hat [09:44] unop, Thanks, will nfs be available and browsable via "Network"? [09:44] charles035, maybe you need to be more specific about the GUI environment you are after. [09:44] hi , who to install the kernel-headers package i tried : linux-libc-dev , i've also tried sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 linux-headers-$(uname -r) [09:44] charles035: well you have to determine what you need. for server questions also try #ubuntu-server [09:45] is there a utility to break ubuntu login passwords similar to ophcrack?

I thought it due out on 14th.. not the 24th.. bah [09:46] :) [09:46] peter77: problem is thought that you cant get that secret password to crack without root right :) [09:46] hi , how to install the kernel-headers package i tried : linux-libc-dev , i've also tried sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 linux-headers-$(uname -r) [09:47] simplexio, what tool would you recommend to crack a linux users password?

[10:00] @hyperstream : On howtoforge,com there is an article giving you detailed instructions on how to set it up right [10:00] anything that will give me my resources back, i dont need gui, all i use is remote command line [10:00] buggmaster, sudo apt-get install rcconf and use that program to "turn off gdm" and then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop << sorted [10:00] ty [10:00] buggmaster, sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults stop [10:01] unop_, remind me to bring my brain ;-) [10:01] buggmaster, that'll stop if from starting at bootup .. but to kill it immediately too. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [10:01] ompaul, nothing wrong with rcconf :) [10:02] that update-rc.d thing spit back problems.. sec [10:02] update-rc.d: error: codenumber must be a number between 0 and 99 [10:02] 7.10 if that matters [10:02] unop_, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63149/plain/ [10:04] buggmaster, hmm, maybe i got it wrong. try this. sudo update-rc.d gdm stop 20 1-5 [10:04] unop_, wats that ?

[10:08] i found this [10:08] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [10:08] stops it [10:08] gregory: i thought evolution an email client in the first place ? [10:08] now how to remove it, ill delete the file if i have too lol [10:08] Evo does have the advantage of being a part of the Ubuntu base but it's probably a bit heavy if all you want is a Calendar... [10:08] Hermanon, ok, there might be things you need to do before running make - see the README and/or INSTALL files in the source directory [10:08] tim167: yes, but also calendar, just start it up and see if if suits your needs [10:08] buggmaster, bahh, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [10:08] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63150/ [10:09] tim167, dunno about syncing, but in case of sunbird, there is an addon for thunderbird too, its called lightning. will be integrated in thunderbird soon [10:09] unop_ [10:09] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63150/ [10:09] with a default LAMP install were would i find the directory for my apache server?

Can I just delete them, or should I make them rollover then delete them? [10:17] charles035, red hat does that fine - although they will not give you support for the windows part of your infrastructure and they'll be less than willing to support you where you linux servers work together with windows ones -- but everything you just described, RHEL does [10:17] Bollinger: they are log files. if you dont need anymore you can del them [10:17] ok [10:17] gregory: ok thanks. [10:19] So. what should I do guys? Is there an Envy for Hardy 8.04 ? [10:19] We need support we need gui we want get rig of microsoft server may even the fron dend too if can [10:20] Hermanon, from what i can see, the makefile requires these two files - /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h and /boot/vmlinuz.version.h - but these are not standard and not part of any ubuntu/debian package - you might like to scour forums for more on how to get this compiled on debian/ubuntu [10:20] puppetmaster, why dont you install the driver manually?

[10:37] icesword: they manage partitions. partitions don't care about operating systems. [10:39] icesword, what are you looking to do really? resize paritions or just create them? [10:39] tim167, does your pop server listen on a non-standard port, if not evolution chooses the right default (110) [10:40] i did an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop but i dont want x to start every time how do i stop it?

[10:42] bullgard4: mc is a console application, right? it would depend on your terminal then. [10:42] is there a console pdf reader? [10:42] unop_, some friends asked me for help,he want to resize partition,he uses windows,and he said he doesn't want to use pirated warez,that's all thing [10:42] void^: Let it depend on my terminal.

[10:44] Pirate_Hunter, thx，sir [10:44] erUSUL: unop_: nm , my bad, i entered just my name for 'username' instead of my email address, it would be less confusing if it asked for 'email address' instead of 'user name'....

[10:50] Anyone have any idea why the rear USB ports on my computer work fine, while a hub plugged into a rear port doesn't work well with mass storage devices (ie, they have read errors) and also the front usb ports have the same problem? [10:51] compwiz18: because they do not have enough power [10:51] Ziroday: even though it is a powered hub? I'd agree - when I googled the error, that seemed to be the common conclusion, but I'm not sure... [10:51] so this is where you ask for help when youre a noob? [10:51] inst conky supposed to run constantly? it seems if i have programs open it doesnt update constantly its laggy i would say, how can i fix this when its meant to update every 1.5 scs? [10:52] Ziroday: so I guess my point is, is there a way to provide more power to them? [10:52] goran: depends on how noob you are. but yes. [10:52] well im no stranger to computers in general but in terms of ubuntu i only have a few hours under my belt [10:52] compwiz18: providing more power to the usb ports is very difficult and will probably be a hardware fix instead of software [10:53] Ziroday: I understand that: why would a powered USB hub not have enough power though? [10:53] goran: well, what are you looking for maybe i can help. if not i'm sure someone can [10:53] compwiz18: not sure :), is the power external or from another usb port? [10:53] compwiz18, the hub could be malfunctioning [10:53] Ziroday: external, as in a power block [10:53] well im looking to figure out how to install Football Manager08 - but i have two little more crucial issues with my screen and my external usb drive [10:54] is there anyone can help me with grub problem? [10:54] or your power supply may not be large enough to support everything in your computer. [10:54] ask | cpham [10:54] un0p: perhaps, although the printer that is plugged into it works fine... [10:54] i have install XP [10:54] although it does have its own power [10:54] use the trigger [10:54] and then install Ubuntu [10:54] goran: external drives i cant help you with. i'm having a similar problem the last few days with an external not mounting...(even though it will any other day). [10:54] compwiz18, are the mass storage devices self-powering too? [10:55] but only gone through the first step [10:55] un0p: one is, one is a thumb drive [10:55] after that it only boot to Windows Xp [10:55] compwiz18, and both don't work? [10:55] so i decided to install grub to MBR [10:55] any tips on how to get Dual Monitors working successfully with each monitor having its own resolution and having it as a Addition to the current MAIN SCREEN desktop ? (NVIDIA) [10:55] and now it stop booting to anything [10:55] un0p: correct [10:55] un0p: although, some days they work better then others :/ [10:55] how do i make it were when i do apt-get install it does not try to pull from the cd?

[10:56] jerknextdoor_: well how about the installation of FM08 - so i can at least keep busy while I find the solution to the other probs. [10:56] goran: and there seems to be a decent amount of football manager 08 install stuff in the forums. [10:56] my computer is in the other room and i wont want to have to run back and forth to put the cd in [10:56] un0p: yeah, the thumb drive works perfectly when plugged in the back, and I get read errors in dmesg when its plugged in the front or in the hub [10:56] goran: i'm not familiar with the program so i don tknow much about it. what's the problem you're having? [10:56] compwiz18, how about the other mass storage device? [10:57] potentially a bad usb port. [10:57] un0p: same thing, read errors when plugged in the front or the hub [10:57] un0p: altough now the thumb drive appears to be working fine when plugged in the front... [10:58] icesword: i have two hard drive, Ubuntu and XP in sdb, would it matter? [10:58] compwiz18, i'd say you have a problem with both your hub and the front ports - did you assemble this pc? [10:58] icesword: the sda just empty at the moment [10:58] jerknextdoor_: i have an alcohol image (mdf/mds file) and am kinda clueless about how i install the game itself. i've seen some software for converting the mds/mdf to iso but i cant really get that to work either [10:58] un0p: yep :) [10:58] probably my fault somewhere :P [10:58] compwiz18, the manual of my motherboard says that i cant use 2 of the rear usb-ports if i connect them with the frontpanel, for example. [10:59] did the front usb come in seperate wires, such as power, etc. Or did it just come as one plug. [10:59] compwiz18, well, i'd make sure that the USB ports are connected upto the motherboard properly [10:59] un0p: yeah, although now it seems to be working :/ [10:59] although I did unplug the hub [10:59] because if they are seperate wires one can get placed wrong. [10:59] maybe it doesn't like the hub or something? [10:59] goran: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3637536&postcount=39 === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [10:59] kooot: I think its just one plug [11:00] yeah, I figured if its newer. [11:00] lordleemo: thanks. ill try this right away [11:00] compwiz18, well, thing is, device could still work despite the ports being connected up wrong, especially the connections for power [11:00] goran: your welcome i dont use it myself but the link looks ok [11:01] Might want to try the hub on the back usb ports, and if it doesn't work then, I think you have narrowed down your problem [11:01] alright, I'll pop the case off and try a different usb header or something [11:01] kooot: the hub is plugged into the back ports ;) [11:01] ok. [11:01] then I will just shut up. haha [11:02] haha [11:02] I wonder if the hub is the problem [11:02] can someone help me with conky? [11:02] having unplugged the hub, everything is working fine...

Have you managed to add it to the pannel. What did you do? [11:18] guess i just have to burn up 230watts until they make the binary for hardy [11:18] well i am not asking abt hardy in particular...I knw there is some hardware incompatibilty...with broadcom cards.. [11:18] So i am looking for help.. [11:18] i am new to ubuntu [11:18] Just switched from XP [11:19] congrats newbie === f0rmat_ is now known as f0rmat [11:19] Pirate_Hunter, as long as there isnt any particular need for another (newer) version, first look should always be at the repo version [11:20] and btw There is nothing called "restrictured driver manager" under my System> admin [11:20] hullo. I'm trying to use sftp from a perl script because the Net::SFTP module doesn't work. man sftp says I can use "-b -" to specify a batchfile as read from stdin, but it doesn't specify the format of it. I can create a batchfile with one command per line but it'd be easier to just concatenate a string for the system call... [11:20] this is absured something keeps killing my net connection and i dont know what, how do i go about finding out which app is stopping me from browsing the net "yet xchat still works"? [11:20] Varka: true that true that [11:20] So my question is what should this look like? [11:20] i was just wondering whether anyone here knows how i could get my NetGear WG111T usb 2.0 adapter to work on ubuntu the driver disk i got contains only .exe's no .inf's [11:21] pirat something on port 80? [11:21] Why dont I see any "Restrictred Driver Manager"? [11:21] Gpalco: i'm not sure i understand what youve done and i cant browse the net at the moment since i need to figure out whats stoping my browsers from surfing [11:21] cpham_, you problem fixed? [11:21] rsmith16384: hmmmm :/ [11:22] try going to a page that uses different port [11:22] ubuntu--newbie: what version of ubuntu are you using [11:22] 8.04 [11:22] i can provide one on port 16384 if you cant find one [11:22] i have something called driver manager [11:22] is it the same? [11:23] ubuntu--newbie: 1.) it's a beta release 2.) it's disscussed in the channel #ubuntu+1 3.) are you using any hardware that needs restricted drivers [11:23] ukonia -- I think so. I am use Broadcomm wireless card [11:23] so no one knows how to identify what might cause browsers from going online o_0? [11:23] and it doesnt work [11:23] ubuntu--newbie: join #ubuntu+1 [11:23] PriceChild: whats the question ? [11:23] PriceChild: sorry [11:23] Pirate_Hunter, from your post I read that you installed and used The Launcher Applet as a gnome-applet. Is it right ? [11:23] Pirate_Hunter: whats the question [11:23] Ikonia - i did ..but no one is replying [11:24] There to ask questions about the live/install-cd?

[11:51] DeFi: what's up [11:52] I'm trying to find a simple way to boot an iso from a usb flash drive using some bootloader [11:52] DeFi: hthats not simple [11:52] thats not simple [11:52] aka, sounds like you should look for LCD/CRT function keys [11:52] well i need a way [11:52] once you get it to display bios screen, [11:52] it should work with ubuintu [11:52] so id do this, [11:53] turn it on, [11:53] cause cdshell can boot from an iso, but cdshell cannot run on a usb flash drive [11:53] wait about 3 secs [11:53] press pause [11:53] then try the function keys [11:53] !enter rsmith16384 [11:53] until it appears [11:53] DeFi: thats reasonable, but it's not an easy task [11:53] DeFi: I don't think grub can handle booting ISO's [11:53] DeFi: you'd need to uncompress it on the fly [11:53] no, it cant [11:54] ubot, whats that mean? [11:54] how would uncompressing it help? [11:54] DeFi: because grub could read it as a file system [11:55] cdshell can only use the ISO9660 file system [11:56] DeFi: then this is nothing to do with ubuntu [11:56] i click fn + every f... [11:56] still nto working [11:56] and fn + f10 nothing appears [11:56] nothing happen [11:56] ikonia: thats why i asked if you could tell me where i could ask for help with this :/ [11:56] aka, in that case, id now try this, [11:56] hook up the other monitor [11:57] DeFi: no idea, again nothing to do with ubuntu [11:57] get in the bios, [11:57] :( [11:57] look for display options in there [11:57] hi [11:57] and?

[12:17] what is ff ? [12:18] rsmith16384: yup had no dns server :/ [12:18] shouldve guess that [12:18] zoobox its for finding any file in your system [12:18] aha [12:18] Pirate_Hunter: what are you using conky to monitor [12:18] i ruled that out since you were able to connect to irc.freenode [12:18] maybee it was cached [12:19] rsmith16384: marlunthe ubuntu connection does it on ip [12:19] zoobox can u help with the same? [12:19] perhaps ff is in the package findutils ? [12:19] caches? [12:20] "does it"? [12:20] zoobox so what should i ddo ,i am a new user [12:21] ikonia: oh simple stuff cpu, net upstream&downstream, my hds, inbound&outbound connections as well as logging which i dont understand :( [12:22] how did you guys get to be so good with nix OSes? [12:22] Pirate_Hunter: this may sound silly but are you running from a livecd or a disk based install ? [12:22] on your own or with school? [12:22] Pirate_Hunter: you read the definitive tutorial on conky for ubuntu yet? [12:23] rsmith16384: just using it, to solve real world problems. [12:23] ikonia: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2iqecdu&s=3 yeha this is how it looks and im runnign from disk, 0_o running form livecd is madness if disk is this slow [12:23] soumyade1p: sorry, I haven't used ff myself so I don't know. perhaps you can use the command locate instead? [12:24] that pretty much my strategy too [12:24] i have a long way to go it seems [12:24] Pirate_Hunter: try reducing the time to say 10 seconds, does it manage to keep in sync then ? [12:25] drivers was holding me back for a long time, but now thats not as much of a problem [12:25] i still dont know how to install a driver from the prompt [12:25] ikonia: the default conky.cof i sued had 3.0 seconds delay ive moved from 1s to 1.15 but yeah will try 10s [12:25] Pirate_Hunter: just for interest sake [12:25] rsmith16384: modprobe drivername [12:26] Pirate_Hunter: there was an old senario with nagios that had tests that took longer than 1 second to execute, where backlogging the refresh [12:26] Pirate_Hunter: I'm thinking something simialr for you with conky ? [12:26] Pirate_Hunter: refresh every second is quite extreme [12:26] simple, wots that do? [12:26] thanx zoobox,i can do with locate [12:26] soumyade1p: also check out find. [12:27] ikonia: true the problem is that when i close all programs conky refreshes in real time which is weird since i have plenty of ram and i aint running anything xtreme but will test it out when im about to log off [12:28] Pirate_Hunter: certainly worth checking [12:28] PriceChild: could be things like redraw times [12:28] PriceChild: sorry [12:28] Pirate_Hunter: redraw times for example [12:28] pxe test hopefully see you all again soon [12:29] ikonia: ok will do so hmm just got an email to check my credit scoring for free nice [12:30] how can i acess my windows files from linux [12:30] hey i am trying to fix a dependency issue by using apt-get -f install but i get an error...

I have a new samsung 226BW and I can't get nvidia drivers working. I currently have nv drivers with full 1680x1050 resolution, but if I change xorg to nvidia I get blurry screen. Any ideas? [12:36] How can I see how many memory slots is occupied in my laptop? [12:37] Dr_willis, Can I cancel once I start the process? and If I have to reboot due to a power outage or anythign else does it resume its downloads from rpevious location? [12:37] free ----->less /proc/meminfo [12:37] chronographer, my 226bw works fine here. NO issues at all with it. [12:37] hey filled void, change all gutsy's to hardy's in sources.list and go apt-get update. don't go apt-get upgrade [12:37] with nvidia? [12:37] filled void: yes [12:38] any chance you could post your sorg.conf somewhere? [12:38] *xorg [12:38] Filled-Void, stopomng the upgrade is propberly not a good idea. it can resume the downloads.. but once it starts installing packages.. let it install them [12:38] chronographer, You using dvi or vga conector? [12:38] vga [12:38] dvi caused black outs [12:39] flashing black on the screen with movement, although compiz worked, using vga now with full res, no compiz [12:39] would someone help me set up samba? [12:39] blackouts? Sounds like you got some issues somewhere.. DVI would be much clearer then VGA [12:39] I have an oldish 5600 FX [12:40] Dr_willis, Ah ok thanks :) and may if the command chronographer mentioned apt-get upgrade is the right way or should I change all the repositories to heron and then do an update? [12:40] chronographer, Hmm.. could be some quirk with the card. [12:40] so blackouts are like, I move a window and screen drops to black.. few seconds comes bak.. then drops again, gives me a headache! [12:40] imaginativeone, install the samba and samba-doc packages yet? [12:40] I have a logitech elite keyboard/mouse that I'm trying to pair up, the mouse works fine but I can't get past the passphrase.... [12:41] chronographer, try some other live cd's see if the issue affexts them also. could be a nvidia driver bug with that specific card [12:41] hey guys n gals, i got a question for u or can you point me to the channel that can help me i need a bandwidth monitor that would work on monitoring the bandwidth for remote sites from your computer and i need it to work with ubuntu/debian anyone know the awnser to this? [12:41] Where can I download the bcm4328 driver from? [12:41] ok sounds like a plan... I have everything set up on this install though! I guess if the hardy CD works, I can upgrade to that hopefully...

I have set defualt encoding to UTF-8 but the autodetect overruns it. Some sites work and some not. [12:55] gfetco, what editor i use.. depends on what i am doing. :) [12:55] gfetco, it pays to learn vi and learn it well.. i also like fte [12:56] DR Willis, I want to move around images so I can skip the CSS part I hate the CSS part === dngr- is now known as dngr [12:56] Which one should I use then? [12:56] gfetco, no idea. i dont mess with html much. [12:56] I live in a shared house with 5 people who all run diffrent versions of windows, XP, Vista ect. I have set up a good network and we share and stream files between us all, I want to install ubuntu on my pc, will I have any problems using my existing network [12:57] lartza_: my Firefox Autodetect is Off, and was by default I assume (as I have not changed it) [12:57] I've got my proper resolution settings to work, but each time I restart the settings go back to 800x600. How do I make 1280x800 automatically start on reboot? [12:57] Oh.. It just sounded like you were using html :D [12:57] where is the seting? [12:57] I have it off too! [12:57] lartza_, sites must tell with charset they use... some sites are not well configured and tells the browser the wrong charset [12:57] welshdude, linux can see/access windows 'smb' shared folders just fine. and windows can access shared filders on the linux box with samba. [12:57] IT happens with nucleus blog [12:57] lartza_: View menu, Character Encoding [12:58] gfetco, a little bit of xml(uml?) for some cfigs is mess with in that area. [12:58] lartza_: then Auto Detect = Off [12:58] and it will autodetect the network and will have no problems [12:58] Yea, it was disabled [12:58] Now i tried enabling, but no effect [12:58] welshdude: You have to make sure that samba is installed ofcourse. Not sure if it comes with the standard installation. [12:59] But it wont use the UTF-8 I have set default. [12:59] how can i install ubuntu from a usb cdrom ? [12:59] welshdude, you will want to install the 'samba' and 'samba-doc' packages. samba for the sharing. and samba-doc so you have the html books to read to learn how to use samba.

[13:34] probably Pirate_Hunter [13:34] redDEAD: i guess it does since you recommended it as well [13:34] Distrojockey, ive read the graphical installation guide but theres no screenies of creating the partitions for swap, home and , [13:34] IdleOne: redDEAD: awesome, how long will it be supported for? [13:34] Pirate_Hunter: rhythmbox does [13:35] if you don't mind using a kde music player, amarok is also good [13:35] Pirate_Hunter, yeah ehaile grown leaps [13:35] defo [13:35] foug: if All goes well another 40 years :) but atleast 3 [13:35] IdleOne: haha, allright cool thanks [13:35] IdleOne, I dont think rhythmbox has since i cnat find it I had to scroll to the song i wanted [13:35] anyone know how to stop rhythmbox from starting everytime I plug in my ipod in Hardy? [13:35] IdleOne, if it does could you tell me where it is [13:35] Pirate_Hunter: I am looking at it right now. above the list of songs there is a search box [13:36] anyone familjer with installing Ubuntu on raid arrays plz msg me. [13:36] redDEAD its under application prefrences or something [13:36] Hysteria: probably best to have XP as the 1st partition, then a 2GB or so swap partition, then Ubuntu / (root) as the rest (ext3) IMO === svolpe_gerrath is now known as svolpe [13:36] yea Hysteria do you or don't you have any unallocated space? [13:37] ( answer with my nick ) [13:37] i dont know what that means Sturmeh [13:37] Sturmeh, I changed my preffered media application to Amarok but it still opens rhythmbox [13:37] sturmeh, ive just got XP on here [13:37] IdleOne: omg youre right im blind wtf, this aint for real... but serious i can't believe i missed that i guess its my dark theme :(. Thanx [13:37] redDEAD: got to system>preferences>removeable drives>multimedia [13:37] gah it helps to actually be on ubuntu [13:37] Pirate_Hunter: np :) [13:37] redDEAD look around ubuntu prefrences and such for something that is like "default apps" [13:37] Hysteria, I think he wants to know if you have some open space on your hard drive [13:38] Sturmeh, ive got a 500 gig HD so plenty of space [13:38] yea Hysteria if there is any space that isn't part of the windows partition [13:38] ReDEAD, thankyou for your simplified wording haha [13:38] that means is only using about 480gig 20 is more then enough for ubuntu [13:38] Hysteria, when I install Windows, i leave 20GB or something for anything else. [13:38] XP* [13:39] instead of giving the whole hdd to one partition [13:39] I am running suse 32 bit with 4 GIG of ram... it sees all of it. does ubuntu have a bismp kernel too? [13:39] !bismp [13:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about bismp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:39] nfi [13:39] :D [13:39] legend2440, it no longer has the option for mp3 players [13:39] redDEAD: there may be a plugin to disable in rhythmbox [13:39] legend2440, i think it was moved, ive been looking for it for a couple of weeks [13:39] hey, i know this is seriously off topic, but i am wondering if anyone here knows POSIX [13:39] redDEAD moved in hardy? [13:40] SLS: you need the 64bit version of ubuntu for that [13:40] Hysteria: How big is your C: drive? [13:40] Sturmeh, its no longer in removable drives, been there since dapper [13:40] yea DistroJockey good one [13:40] :P [13:40] DistroJockey, ive got 346gb free space [13:40] Sturmeh: when I was a kid one time at the dinner table I said " Fudge " and my father got very upset at me for cursing. basicaly told me a rose by another name still smells sweet ( but not so nice like ) using abrbreviations to curse is just as bad as cursing. please watch your language [13:40] settle ;) [13:41] its' all one partiton then i guess [13:41] bazhang, 64 bit is cool but there is so much that just does not work. [13:41] DistroJockey you got any idea on how to "shrink" a partiton properly? [13:41] Hysteria: so I can pretty much assume it's all one big NTFS partition using the whole drive [13:41] bazhang, you can even install acroread [13:41] SLS: you can see most of that 4gb with the 32bit and a lot less hassle as well [13:41] Hysteria: Sturmeh: defrag first [13:42] DistroJockey: Yeah i think so when i built the computer i just installed XP, didnt touch anything to do with partitioning [13:42] DistroJockey: most likely that is what it is as windows just uses everything [13:42] yep [13:42] good idea DistroJockey [13:42] bazhang, will it not limit itself to 3 G? [13:42] but how safe is it to reccomend shrinking partitons to say... people like Hysteria? [13:42] well Hysteria you up for reinstalling xp? [13:43] SLS: three and some change iirc, closer to 3.5 [13:43] Sturmeh: that's why I said backup first :) [13:43] redDEAD: it moved to Edit / Preferences / Media in Nautilus. [13:43] lawl DistroJockey [13:43] Sturmeh: as safe as installing the latest windows "OS" [13:43] (22:41:43) (DistroJockey) Hysteria: Sturmeh: defrag first [13:43] you said defrag first! [13:43] Sturmeh, no not right now :) im a student so rly need ma computer [13:43] lol [13:43] bazhang, ok [13:43] go back aways ;P [13:43] well try wubi then Hysteria [13:43] cuz nothing you can do is "fail-safe" [13:43] !wubi | Hysteria [13:43] unless you do a full backup [13:43] Hysteria: wubi is Wubi advice here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 and http://wubi-installer.org [file wubi bugs here: https://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug ] (it is included in hardy 8.04 beta CD and will be in the final release) [13:43] and try stuff [13:43] ta IdleOne [13:44] wtf is Wubi [13:44] Sturmeh: good idea . [13:44] Hysteria look at msg from ubotu [13:44] explains it [13:44] Hysteria: read the links [13:45] it's basicly ubuntu without separate partitions, installs on a windows partition. [13:45] Sturmeh: (22:29:05) DistroJockey: Hysteria: yeah, should be, just make sure you have a backup [13:45] heh [13:45] legend2440, it worked thanks alot [13:45] heh [13:45] hello, my ubuntu instal stops configuring APT, saying that Release file is not available, is there a way to bypas that? [13:46] yes [13:46] unplug the internet [13:46] before u install [13:46] or whislt that's happening [13:46] it eventually times out [13:46] Sturmeh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:46] Sturmeh: it is a ps3 install [13:46] no internet? [13:47] I really can not be stuffed haha, didnt realise it would be this difficult [13:47] Sturmeh: at first i did not have internet, but now i have internet, i got same error [13:47] ah well the error is solved on pc by removing the net connection, or waiting [13:47] Hysteria: It's not if you have a backup, as you should have :) [13:47] i have setup network on F1 screen, but i guess F7 screen is somehow borked [13:47] is gnome with openbox really faster than gnome using metacity? :) [13:47] Hysteria: if wubi is too hard then not sure what to say; that is as easy as any install gets (of any OS) [13:47] DistroJockey I never backup, I just spread my stuff ... :P [13:48] heh, me too [13:48] but Hysteria you are missing out on Compiz Fusion! [13:49] hi all [13:49] hi [13:49] !raid [13:49] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [13:49] damn raid [13:50] ok, anyone know how I set bios password in ubuntu [13:50] password on grub biabia? [13:50] already set [13:50] Hysteria: copy all important (do not want to lose stuff) from the HDD you are installing to and then give it a go. But if you can wait 10 days, get Hardy when it's released and install that. Maybe read up on it inbetween :) [13:50] bios password has nothing to do with ubuntu [13:50] biabia: you'd need to set that in your BIOS. [13:51] Ive never messed with BIOS really [13:51] DistroJockey, got any idea when shipit will allow orders for hardy? [13:51] DistroJockey: Hardy is releasing in 10 days ? [13:51] biabia just press DEL or what it asks for when you boot pc [13:51] yes when shipit will allow? [13:51] and look for "supervisor password" [13:51] DistroJockey, hmmm 10 days? the whole point of getting this was to have a muck around on my 14 day school holidays :( [13:51] Hysteria use gutsy then [13:51] Sturmeh: ok [13:51] that's what http://www.ubuntu.com/ says [13:51] thanks [13:52] Sturmeh: they say soon after release :) [13:52] i just want to pre-order disc's by shipit [13:52] they let my order gutsy a week in advance [13:52] :D [13:52] maybe then [13:52] Sturmeh: that would be cool [13:52] theres no need to set root password on ubuntu right [13:52] i mean it DOES take 5 weeks to send [13:52] its better unset? [13:52] can i install ubuntu from a text mode term? how? what is the command? [13:52] biabia: Yes [13:53] biabia why you putting passwords? [13:53] biabia: root has no password in ubuntu use your user password [13:53] Hysteria: got a spare hard drive lying around? [13:53] !textinstall [13:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about textinstall - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:53] zumbi_: for the ps3? iirc there is a special version of ubuntu for that--if not the alternate cd does text install [13:53] !root | biabia [13:53] biabia: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:53] !alternate | Sturmeh [13:53] Sturmeh: 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 [13:53] i tried that before [13:53] well i have had pc's stolen before, and if they steal this one I want to make it as difficult as possible for them to use it. I think the people who stole it were not very computer smart, just crackheads [13:53] the bot hates me [13:54] bazhang: yes - i'm just trying to save time to download, i have the desktop CD [13:54] !alternate | zumbi_ [13:54] zumbi_: 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 [13:54] !minimal [13:54] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:54] i am familiar with enabling the root password in ubuntu but i have re-disabled it since there is no need to have it enabled [13:54] biabia: well use good passwords and perhaps not leave your computers where people can take them from you [13:55] but biabia putting a password won't get your pc back [13:55] nor will it protect your data from theft [13:55] the computer was in my house [13:55] yea [13:55] anyway, i'm already downloading alternate CD [13:55] thanks [13:55] kk [13:55] biabia: then use full disk encryption that is option in alternate CD install [13:56] xet7: is it possible to encrypt an exisiting install [13:56] lol xet7 still won't get his pc back [13:56] no it was 3 years ago [13:57] i am not trying to get my pc back nor will comments referring to it agitate me [13:57] you said... [13:57] biabia: your issue here is not passwords or pc security. it is home security and we cannot help you with that :/ [13:57] (22:53:41) (biabia) well i have had pc's stolen before, and if they steal this one I want to make it as difficult as possible for them to use it. I think the people who stole it were not very computer smart, just crackheads [13:57] after they steal it [13:57] Anyone know how to use Texmaker? [13:57] what use is all that stuff? [13:57] biabia: haven't tried if it's possible, and that option is during install of ubuntu alternate cd [13:57] they aren't giving it back [13:58] all that security is to prevent DATA theft, not PC theft [13:58] Sturmeh: issues is mute [13:58] biabia: use lock cables? [13:58] no they wont give it back but i will have the satisfaction knowing they couldnt sell it [13:58] huh IdleOne?

[14:30] TwinX, or query ubotu in private if you are playing with the bot. [14:31] TwinX: as unop_ says; /msg ubotu keyword for fun if you wish [14:32] hey others do that to [14:32] And we say the same thing to them as well. [14:32] hmm ok [14:32] TwinX: yes, they /msg, so you dont notice it ;-) [14:32] How do I 'unmount/ungrab' a USB device, i.e. I have a device that gets grabbed by the normal HID driver and I want to free it from it so that I can use it with libusb? [14:33] <_kevin_> i upgraded to gutsy and installed a kernel module (speakup). now the speakup module is installed into the old kernel (2.6.20.16 i think) and i can't get it to install to the new one which i believe is 2.6.22.14. Reinstalling the module doesn't help, and the source for it is in /usr/src [14:33] TwinX: I always keep a query open with ubotu [14:33] :) [14:33] bazhang: Me too. [14:33] TwinX: YOu can also use Ubotu's web interface, that might be better than needing to query ubotu in irc, the web interface will bring up more hits http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu [14:33] Pici: I think you have them all memorized ;] [14:33] * delcoyote hi [14:33] how do i delete a message filter in Evolution mail program ? [14:34] Another question, if you're using Ubuntu, have you ever discovered strange screen flashing while typing something out of buffer reach? eg. pressing right arrow when you're at the most right char in the line? === edanepool is now known as rouet [14:35] i installed ubuntu on my laptop but i have a black screen, i hear sounds so the system works...what do i do ? [14:35] xytis: Its called the visual beep. [14:35] tim167: this is gutsy? what is the filter [14:36] bazhang: 7.10, i did ctrl+alt+f1, and now i see terminal but with VERY big letters [14:36] tim167: you have a large screen. [14:36] well, the point is that visual beep should flash only the window you're in, right? [14:37] tim167: was this something other than your question about evolution then? [14:37] rm -rf | find . -name ".svn" [14:37] compwiz18: i cant even see what i type until i tap ENTER several times to scroll i up into the visible part [14:37] would that delete all .svn folders from under where its ran? [14:37] <_kevin_> how do i make the kernel module install to the new kernel instead of the old one? I even completely removed the old kernel [14:37] tim167: then you are also using vga with said very large screen [14:37] but in my case the whole screen refreshes, AND any kind of beep is disabled. [14:37] no? [14:37] harveyd: no. [14:37] bazhang: yes the evolutiion question is: how to delete a filter [14:37] harveyd: no ,it would give you an error [14:37] harveyd: yes i guess [14:37] Am looking for a rss program that can give me news directly on my Desktop. Anyone know a good program for this? Am using Compiz. [14:37] ok [14:37] got it [14:38] blinkiz: Theres probably a screenlet for it. [14:38] depending on your shell, you can also rm -rf **/.svn [14:38] tim167: which filter? the spam filter? [14:38] !screenlet | blinkiz [14:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about screenlet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:38] compwiz18: why? i didnt ask that...i had ubuntu running on it before...now this, how to fix it ? thanks [14:38] jrib: can you expand on that no? :P [14:38] !screenlets | blinkiz [14:38] blinkiz: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [14:38] Pici, yeah, I now about screenlets. Nice tip [14:38] !screenlet is screenlets [14:38] bazhang: no just message filters [14:38] I'll remember that, Pici [14:39] is best find . -name ".svn" | xargs rm [14:39] tim167: press ctrl+alt+f7 [14:39] Pici: Do you mind a quick pm about a factoid? [14:39] DJones: I don't, but you could always just suggest it to the bot if you wish. [14:39] compwiz18: yes then i get the black screen, no text, no prompt... [14:39] http://www.go-evolution.org/Filters tim167 [14:40] harveyd: what makiolo said will work if you have no directories with spaces, but you need to do rm -r, not rm [14:40] hey what anyone know what setting in ssh would cause there bing problems when trying to vnc through putty from a windows machine ot linux? [14:41] find . -name ".svn" | xargs rm -rf gave me [14:41] xargs: unmatched single quote; by default quotes are special to xargs unless you use the -0 option [14:41] blinkiz: what kind of problems? [14:41] bazhang: thanks, it says go to tools>filters, but i dont have that... [14:41] Pici, No problem here [14:41] blinkiz: arg, tab complete mishap, sorry about that. [14:41] BizMan2008: What kind of problems? [14:41] Pici, :-) [14:41] Select the filter to be deleted and click on remove and then OK. tim167 [14:42] harveyd: so you have weird names. Do: find -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r [14:42] !list [14:42] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:42] bazhang: how do i select the filter to be deleted, where can i see them ? [14:42] Pici: well basicially that i cant vnc in :), it will say connection initilized but not go any further [14:42] i have no problem with any other machine si have this setup with [14:42] and i have not done anything differently [14:43] BizMan2008: [14:43] i have determined its ssh because, i can vnc in locally no problem, and again, i can vnc through ssh on my other machines no problem [14:43] hm [14:43] lots of wierd names [14:43] its my music folder thats ~60GB that at some point though was a good idea to keep in svn [14:44] Pici: i just set up another linux box from scratch, and i want to do some work here rom my job, but this boggles my mind, i dont know whats not working right here [14:44] how can i see filters in Evolution mail client ? [14:44] but that command just sits and doesnt do anything, the print0 has all the paths with no spaces between them [14:44] harveyd: huh? [14:45] ook nm, sorry for the noise, found Evolution Edit>Message filters [14:45] actually, ig might be working, just slowly, sorry [14:45] *it [14:45] Pici: any ideas? [14:46] BizMan2008: Are you sure that the tunnel is working properly at all? i.e, can you tunnel browser traffic through it? [14:46] i dunno [14:46] i just know how to ssh in and use vnc :) [14:46] how can i tunnel broswer traffic ythrough it [14:47] BizMan2008: Are you just vnc-ing to the same address that you are ssh'ed into? [14:47] no [14:47] hi guys, does anyone have any experience with desklets? i've just downloaded it from synaptic but i have no idea what to do now [14:47] local address [14:48] cheesypieces, i like gdesklets [14:48] Pici: 127.0.0.1:## and the ## is like a foward for port 5900 [14:48] this way i dont have open that port on my router [14:48] cheesypieces: if you've installed them via synaptic - they are alreayd installed [14:49] Hi all, How do I make a samba share readable/writable by all without authentication? I'm trying to get Microsoft SQL to backup to a share. [14:49] hledat cesky ubuntu? [14:49] tovare: use the anonymous user [14:49] tovare: or "nobody" user [14:49] ikonia: i know i have them installed, i just don't know how to run them [14:50] cheesypieces: isnt it a case of just launching gdesklets and selecting which ones you want ? [14:51] česky hledám! [14:51] ikonia: in the shared admin, there's no way to set user permissions. [14:51] tovare: thats handled at the file system [14:51] BizMan2008: Are you sure its listening on 5900 and not 5901? [14:51] to je síla [14:51] !cz | miroslav_ [14:51] miroslav_: České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme.

[14:51] rsc___: cron ? [14:51] BizMan2008: The only other thing I can think of is that iptables is blocking it. [14:52] does somebody know howto boot manually the minimal ubuntu CD? [14:52] pici: how can i check that [14:52] ikonia, cron doesn't quite have a snooze function, or an indicator of how long it is till it alarms, or a nice gui... I'm looking for something easy to use. :) [14:52] ikonia: Microsoft SQL isn't a user, it's something special, something evil and hidden. [14:52] zumbi_: what minimal cd ? [14:52] hmm it keeps telling me there aren't controls available. any ideas? [14:52] I installed screenlets but dont see how I enabled screenlets. any help? [14:53] tovare: no, but it must connect as a user to a share [14:53] jrib: worked perfectly, cheers [14:53] tovare: from that point of view its just a user [14:53] !minimal [14:53] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:53] i installed ubuntu, i get a black screen (NOT terminal, black, no text) and when going into terminal the letters are so big i cannot see the prompt where i should type [14:53] IdleOne, go run the screenlets manager :) [14:53] harveyd: no problem [14:53] IdleOne, alt+f2 and type in "screenlets-manager" [14:53] rsc___: thanks [14:53] tim167: change your boot line to "vga=ask" and select a better framebuffer resolutoin [14:54] BizMan2008: I'm not really sure, perhaps iptables -L. I usually use firestarter to manager it. === chaky_ is now known as chaky === Gerrath is now known as svolpe [14:55] ikonia: ok, how ? [14:55] ikonia: i mean "change boot line" is too cryptical for me sorry [14:55] hello @all [14:55] tim167: boot into grub - hit "e" for edit mode and add vga=ask to the boot line [14:55] Pici: http://pastebin.com/m25588d54 thats the output [14:56] doesnt look like anyhting [14:56] ikonia, thanks i will try [14:56] ikonia: here's my log http://pastebin.com/d578c55b2 it looks like it's trying to create groups, not users. [14:56] i have a problem with zattoo i can dont delete the apps date... but i am root [14:56] * mauro-bls buenas [14:57] hi everyone.. "according to mtab this drive is already mounted" but i still cannot access my data, anyone know why this happens? [14:57] ikonia: do you mean add a new line with vga=ask in it ? [14:57] BizMan2008: Hrm. Are you sure that the vnc server is running? try: sudo netstat -tanp | less [14:57] alx54: what filesystem? [14:57] ext3 [14:58] will i see a speedboost with 64BIT? [14:58] BizMan2008: You're looking for vnc or perhaps vino [14:58] jrib should i pastebin something? [14:58] alx54: where is it mounted? what permissions are on the mount point? [14:59] Mactaylor: probably not [14:59] it is mounted in /media/Drivename and i just set chmod 777 on it [14:59] jrib it is mounted in /media/Drivename and i just set chmod 777 on it [14:59] hi guys, how can i automount a drive on boot? [14:59] alx54: what is the output of 'ls -ld /media/Drivename'? [14:59] alx54: what happens when you cd /media/drivename [14:59] sam__: put it in your fstab [14:59] ikonia, how? [14:59] FLISOL2008 [14:59] is 64bit a pain to set up? [14:59] sam__: edit the file fstab [14:59] Mactaylor: not really no [15:00] Hi all [15:00] I am using Ubuntu 7.10 AMD74 [15:00] It seems the fluxbox package is broken [15:00] http://pastebin.ca/984662 [15:00] ok, what exactly do i put in my fstab folder? [15:00] Can someone help me with this === nathan_ is now known as nathan__ [15:00] monzie, ??? [15:01] amedx, please have a look at the pastebin [15:01] monzie, ok [15:01] monzie: pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of 'apt-cache policy fluxbox libimlib2 libc6' === nathan__ is now known as nate00 [15:01] sam__: it's not a folder its a file in the /etc/ directoy, have a look and it should be quite straight forward what you need [15:02] jrib, sources.list http://pastebin.ca/984664 [15:02] is gthumb open source? [15:02] ok, it seems i need a uuid, a default mountpoint ect [15:02] hi guys, do you know the difference between gdesklets and screenlets? [15:02] jrib [15:02] alx@alx:~$ sudo ls -ld /media/Eigenschaften [15:02] drwxrwxrwx 15 root root 4096 2008-04-10 19:12 /media/Eigenschaften [15:02] sam__: thats right [15:02] monzie, system>administration>synaptic search broken packages [15:02] ok, how can i find the uuid [15:02] cheesypieces: 2 different engines [15:02] When I press ctrl+alt+F1 in the hope of getting a command line, all I get is a flashing underscore on the top and I can't write anything. What could the problem be? X-server (ctrl+alt+F7) works fine [15:03] cheesypieces, they're just different widget engines. they have different widget formats, they work differently... [15:03] jrib i can cd to the path /media/Eigenschaften no error message [15:03] jrib, 'apt-cache policy fluxbox.... " http://pastebin.ca/984665 [15:03] so, how exactly do i find a drive uuid? [15:03] alx54: k, so what doesn't work exactly? [15:03] http://www.flickr.com/photos/ogmaciel/2178972465/ [15:03] sam__ blkid [15:03] ok, well i've now installed them both, and i'm not keen on gdesklets, but i can't find how to use screenlets [15:03] b4l74z4r: yes, its GPL [15:03] can someone tell me what program the purple face icon is for in that link? [15:03] srbaker: why have you posted this [15:04] i have to add 'vga=ask' to the grub boot line...what is the boot line ? i hit 'ESC', then 'e', then im not shure where exactly to add the "vga=ask"... [15:04] Achoth, after that press Alt+F1 [15:04] i want to know what program the purple icon represetns [15:04] amedx, no packages are broken [15:04] srbaker: it could be anything [15:04] monzie, are u sure? [15:04] ok [15:04] thx [15:04] cheesypieces, run the screenlets manager. press alt+f2 and type in screenlets-manager [15:04] gregory, but why isn't it possible to change its behaviour so that one can use the mouse wheel to zoom images? [15:04] arvind_khadri: Nothing happens [15:04] monzie, check it out again!!! [15:05] b4l74z4r: sorry, i have no exp with this program [15:05] alx54: notice that the 777 permissions apply only to /media/Eigenschaften, not the stuff under it [15:05] i added it after the line starting with 'kernel', i think...but nothing changed, still black blank screen when booting and ridiculously large letters in ctrl+alt+f1 terminal [15:05] Achoth, hmm well i dont know anything about it [15:05] amedx, yeah [15:05] tim167: show me the line you changed [15:05] tim167: and show me how you changed it [15:05] what options do i want on the automounted drive? [15:05] amedx, says no broken packages [15:05] rsc___: thats great, thanks [15:06] sam__: none [15:06] sam__: just use default [15:06] monzie, mmm [15:06] ok [15:06] defaults [15:06] jrib wasnt thers something like chmod 777 * or so to apply it to subfolders? [15:06] arvind_khadri: It's very weird, that the X-server works but not the CLI is fundamentally insane [15:06] monzie, try again install fluxbox [15:06] alx54: are you sure that is what you want? [15:06] ikonia, i tried adding vga=ask after the line starting with kernel /boot/vmlinuz... but now on reboot i see its gone again... [15:06] yes, im the only user of this pc [15:06] done editing, so it should automount whenever i boot now? [15:06] jrib yes, im the only user of this pc [15:07] Achoth, why do you want that terminal [15:07] ikonia, sorry i cant copy paste the line... [15:07] tim167: thas interesting so that's being ignored [15:07] amedx, http://imagebin.ca/view/dRX3eXM.html [15:07] my fstab has this line in it now #/dev/sdb1 [15:07] UUID=c1f0af8f-b514-48a1-b3c0-c4d2d786d7da /media/sparedrive ext3 defaults 0 [15:07] will that automount? [15:07] tim167: it should ask you for display option [15:07] alx54: sudo chmod -R 777 /media/Eigenschaften (if you apply this to the wrong place, your install will be broken) [15:07] sam__: yes [15:07] amedx, no the install is not happening , same error. [15:07] when its mounted who will have permissions to edit it? [15:07] arvind_khadri: Sometimes it's more efficient, and it's nice not having lots of terminals on the desktop [15:08] jrib its a storage drive, should be safe to do that right? [15:08] sam__: mount it and set the permissions your want [15:08] monzie: run 'sudo apt-get update' and try installing libimlib2 [15:08] ikonia TAB-autocompleting after vg says 'unrecognized device string' [15:08] will those be saved? [15:08] alx54: yes [15:08] it's a kernel parameter, it won't tab complete [15:08] sam__: yes [15:08] monzie, apt-get update [15:08] How to check which program is trying to access my Internet connection in Ubuntu 7.10? [15:08] harsh1: tcpdump ? [15:08] Achoth, how do I come back from there if i log into it [15:09] harsh1, in U router [15:09] arvind_khadri: ctrl+alt+F7 === Double_D is now known as Sergeant_Pony [15:09] ikonia: I am sorry, I could't understand what you were trying to tell? [15:09] Achoth, the thing works fine for me [15:09] Hi [15:09] harsh1: use tcpdump on snoop on your network interface, ntop may even tell you [15:10] arvind_khadri: It should for me too :/ [15:10] monzie, what happend? [15:10] amedx, imlib2 installed [15:10] amedx, waiting for fluxbox to install [15:10] monzie, ok [15:10] ikonia: Thanks, does it has an GUI interface or do I have to use commands, in order to use it. [15:11] Achoth, hmm well there must be something thats not proper at your end....i think the best place to ask this would be mailing list or the ubuntu forums [15:11] no gui [15:11] amedx, yup done :) [15:11] Achoth, which ubuntu do you use? [15:11] monzie, ;) [15:11] amedx, jrib thanks a lot . Soln was ( apt-get install imlib2 + apt-get install fluxbox ) . Dont know why i had to do it one after another though [15:11] arvind_khadri: You're right, I've asked 3 times here now, no answer yet. I use Ubuntu 7.10 [15:11] jrib just another question if u dont mind... since this is an internal drive, i want it to mount on startup, but that didnt work with this line in fstab "/dev/hdb1 /media/Eigenschaften ext3 rw,defaults,umask=0000 0 2" [15:11] monzie: the real solution was probably just the apt-get update [15:12] Pici: its definatley running, like i said i can vnc in locally without ssh [15:12] !iptables [15:12] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [15:12] jrib and when i replaced /dev.. with the UUID it also didnt work [15:12] I installed apache, mysql, and php. I have found enough info on installation but none on how to configure and use. Does anyone no of any documentation how I can learn to use this software? [15:12] alx54: ext3 does not use the umask option [15:12] Achoth, did you try the ubuntu official forum,google, and yeah try www.linuxforums.org too [15:12] you cant chmod 777 * on /media/Eigenschaften (or wherever) [15:12] aah, so just leave it out jrib? [15:12] oops nevermind [15:12] alx54: "defaults" should work fine [15:12] efirewick do you what these softwares are for? [15:13] ok jrib, thanks alot! [15:13] arvind_khadri: Yep, no hits, this is on ordinary problem [15:13] seems like actually you can [15:13] :p [15:13] Achoth, people wont answer if they dont know the answer [15:13] arvind_khadri: Well, of course [15:13] slowlearner, I am trying to set up a customer database. [15:13] Achoth, i too am finding it wierd,dont have high hopes that it would get solved :( but jus try linuxforums === recon_etc is now known as recon [15:14] arvind_khadri: That I shall, thanks [15:14] efirewick have you successfully installed them?

[16:59] !ot | gfetco [16:59] gfetco: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [16:59] !best | gfetco [16:59] gfetco: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:59] gfetco: thats personal opinion [16:59] Hey, if I install ubuntu onto a CD, how do I boot ubuntu off the CD without harming my Windows installation? [16:59] I even have Photoshop, thumbsplus, and forte agent running under crossover. After trying various flavors of *nix I run ubuntu and imo ubuntu is just about ready for primetime. That's the end of my rant. [16:59] thats the one I was looking for PriceChild :) [16:59] Ollie: you can't really install onto a cd [17:00] I'm triying to install a package but I have got broken pipe this is my output if someone can check it out http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7011/ [17:00] hi [17:00] # Appears as TIKI [17:00] Why cant people answer simple questions? XD IS there a chat channel please? [17:00] Ollie: ikonia's right, that doesn't actually work quite like that, but you *can* make a LiveCD. If you boot off the LiveCD, it won't do anything to your Windows install unless you ask it to. [17:00] But I download the ISO and burn to CD, what is that actually doing? [17:00] gfetco, #ubuntu-offtopic is what you're talking about. [17:01] Ollie ahh ok, thats made a live cd and install source [17:01] Awesome, cheers swuboo and ikonia [17:01] i cant install x-chat systray anyone nows this problem? [17:01] Ollie: burn the ISO onto the cDrom then boot from it [17:01] Thank [17:01] you [17:01] !offtopic [17:01] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [17:01] !offtopic [17:01] gfetco: i prefer firefox (or swiftfox)...but for the best support and answers I go to ubuntu forums on the web. [17:01] To boot from the CD, do I just pop it in and it will come up with the option? [17:01] Ollie: Assuming the CD is above the hard drive in your BIOS boot order, yes. [17:01] Ollie: if your bios is set to boot from cd, sure [17:02] !botabuse | gfetco [17:02] gfetco: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [17:02] Cheers, I am downloading it now, will pop back here in about an hour after I have downloaded and tried to boot :P [17:02] Ollie: If the optical drive is the first boot device, the CD will boot into Ubuntu, storing what it needs in RAM. It won't write to your hard drive unless you ask it to, there's an install icon for that purpose. === mgallagh is now known as mattva01 [17:02] (18.01.24) murlidhar: !offtopic [17:02] But but he did it [17:03] gfetco, yes, so you've no need to repeat surely ? [17:03] swuboo: What will happen if I install a program whilest running Ubuntu? [17:03] But everyone is blaming me [17:03] bye [17:03] Freedom! [17:03] gfetco, just wanted to know the channel name that's why i typed that [17:03] Freedom! [17:03] gfetco: ok - go already [17:03] Ollie: Depending, as I recall, it downloads the package off the internet and stores it in memory. Obviously, you'll find yourself limited by your available RAM. [17:04] !repeat | gfetco [17:04] gfetco: 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 [17:04] Ollie: Assuming the package isn't on the CD already, of course. If it is on the CD, it just loads it into RAM as necessary. [17:04] !nvidia [17:04] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:04] swuboo: Say I downloaded OpenOffice (just an example, you probably can't) and I install it, will it put it on HDD? [17:05] Ollie: No, not unless you install Ubuntu onto your hard drive first. [17:05] for reinstalls i want to create sep partitions. 20 gig /, 2 gig swap and the rest in home. should the 20 gig / be primary or logical, is it at the beginning or end, and what should it be used as? eg ext3 [17:05] swuboo: Where will it install it, onto RAM? [17:05] i'm in the live cd atm [17:05] Ollie: I think the CD already has OpenOffice on it, but I could be wrong. If it does, the CD will just load it into RAM. [17:05] swuboo: Don't understand, but I'm sure I will later [17:06] Ollie: If it helps by way of example, a friend of mine set up his mother with a computer with a LiveCD and no HDD at all. [17:06] swuboo:Ooooo, insteresting, cheers mate [17:06] Ollie: Cheers. You'll see how it works. [17:07] swuboo: Cya after a clean (hopefully) install and boot! [17:07] Bye guys! [17:08] there really isnt much help for ubuntu 7.10 in the !nividia link..

If you have 4 or less partitions, create them all primary. Start them all at the beginning. Any more questions? [17:18] ty and stanby while i try please [17:18] redr: ughhhhh I've just told you nohup and backgrounding the job with & or using the screen application will resolve that [17:18] thanks ikonia [17:18] <|Debian|> anyone know why gaim just randomly shuts it's self off ... every now and then ? [17:18] John_Priest: a simple bash script would perhaps work.. if you only knew how to "create" a keypress using the terminal.. [17:18] |Debian|: never seen it do that [17:18] |Debian|: gaim? or pidgin? [17:18] <|Debian|> gaim [17:19] |Debian|: what version of ubuntu are you using ? [17:19] <|Debian|> 6.10 [17:19] !udeb [17:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about udeb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:19] upgrade son [17:19] <|Debian|> nope [17:19] udebs are microdebs, "regular debian packages that are not policy compliant. They are used by the new debian-installer project, to build up the actual system that then installs debian." -- thus spake Joey Hess, the great debian genius [17:19] |Debian|: never seen it behave like that [17:19] <|Debian|> the new versions won't work on my PPC [17:19] |Debian|: ahhh your on ppc [17:19] on [17:19] on [17:19] aimchanger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:19] oh [17:20] ikonia: i got something nvidia but it says it's used by 0 [17:20] |Debian|: the LTS versions work on ppc? or they just abandoned it after 6.10 ? [17:20] Is this the ubuntu IRC chat? [17:20] tyler: yes, it is [17:20] I was curious I was wondering how I would run EXE files? [17:21] wine [17:21] tyler: only thorugh wine [17:21] hischild: i tried to put them under the one partition table, sda1 set as use: swap, sda2 20gb = ext3 but when i tried to make the rest into a part asnd selected ext3 it said i could not put the end before the start [17:21] tyler: linux doesn't natively run exe files.. they use another system.. you can use wine or a !vm to run windows binaries though [17:21] I just installed Ubuntu Linux so what's wine? [17:21] !wine [17:21] 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. [17:21] search the universe repo for wine in synaptic [17:21] !prefix | aimchanger [17:21] aimchanger: 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 :) [17:22] in administration [17:22] haha sorry I'm on my iPod [17:22] So where would I find wine? [17:22] daire, then the error is probably like it said, you can't put the end before the start. [17:22] !wine | tyler [17:22] tyler: 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. [17:22] hischild: what does that mean? [17:23] Tyler:search google fora howto [17:23] where have i tried to put 'the end before the start'? [17:23] <|Debian|> tyler: apt-cache search wine [17:23] Also I was wondering about that 3D cube effect where would I find that? [17:23] <|Debian|> tyler .. waste of ram [17:23] tyler: desktop effects [17:23] I got 4GB of ram. [17:23] tyler: in terminal type. Sufi apt-get install wine [17:23] sufi* [17:23] aimchanger, please do not suggest to someone here to use google, find them a url or else search the bot - it has a couple of thousand factoids not all of them serious [17:23] anybody knows how to check if your nvidia module is loaded and if not how to load it? [17:24] My processor is quad core it's over clocked to 6.36ghz [17:24] how can I determine which version of ubuntu I'm running? [17:24] sufi?? [17:24] Morydd wouldn't you find out from which one you installed? [17:24] tyler; that sounds insane.. do applications open before you click them? [17:24] or downloaded. [17:24] Yes my applications do open fast. [17:24] tyler: Look into compiz fusion, the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings lets you play around a lot with the exact settings for the cube and so forth. [17:25] Morydd, on the command line type "lsb-release -a" [17:25] Where's that? [17:25] I am not so professional with the navigation yet. [17:25] can't get pulseaudio working with Flash player 9 non-free. can anyone help? I installed the experimental .so file on the pulseaudio site but to no avail [17:25] anybody knows how to check if your nvidia module is loaded and if not how to load it? [17:26] tyler: Synaptic. Just search for compiz. === \etc\bin is now known as e1mer [17:26] balle_: lsmod lists your modules.. [17:26] Which tab would help me find synaptic [17:26] tyler: synaptic is in System, Administration [17:26] Found it [17:26] compiz ok let me find it [17:27] Slart: yes, and it does list nvidia but with 0 users and another nvidia,intel agp but i still can't use my gfx card sadly [17:27] is anyone here knowledgeable in pulseaudio? [17:27] Ok I see cairo-clock / compiz / compiz-bcop [17:28] hischild: i think when you try to create a partition with unbuntu 7.04 live cd larger than 200gb you that error, 'you can't put the end before the start' [17:28] and so forth is it compiz that I install? [17:28] It says it's installed now what? [17:28] hi there! [17:28] daire, what are you using to create the partitions? perhaps you could try to use a partitioner like gparted or qtparted [17:29] is there anyone who can help me? how can I play mp3??? [17:29] tyler: There should be a package called compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and another called compiz-fusion-plugins-main. [17:30] !mp3 | lauro [17:30] lauro: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [17:30] lauro, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3 [17:30] Yes [17:30] balle_: hmm.. odd.. Nvidia usually works without much problems.. [17:30] I see it [17:30] tyler: You'll want those too. [17:30] Slart if it helps I am running 8800gt nvidia it works [17:30] hischild: i was trying to use the manual partitioner on the ubuntu live cd installer, i will try use something different [17:30] Ok I installed them or mark to install [17:31] How do I officially install them? [17:31] tyler: now click apply [17:31] hey peeps [17:31] whats teh line needed to updaate everything [17:31] Ok got it [17:31] or whats a good program to search for for an update manager [17:31] cyka, sudo apt-get update, is that what you're taking about [17:31] So when I install them all what do I do? [17:31] cyka: I think you want sudo apt-get safe-upgrade [17:31] probably tushyd [17:31] tyler: I think you probably also want libcompizconfig0. [17:32] hello al [17:32] Slart: yea, and i have been having nothing but... maybe because it's a labtop? [17:32] thanks IdleOne [17:32] tyler: Once all those are installed, under System, Preferences, there should be a new option called, "Advanced Desktop Settings Manager" [17:32] I have a question, why when I go into webpage the letters are so small to read .....I have to use the Ctrl ++ all the time to increase the font-size ...is there a way to fix this ....so when I open a webpage the font size are correct? [17:32] yeah, but how can I install gstreamer? [17:32] balle_: might be.. laptops can be weird [17:32] tyler: Tweak that to your heart's content. You can adjust things like the distance the cube recedes when you rotate it, how transparent it becomes, the exact key/mouse bindings, etc. etc. [17:33] This is in desktop thingy? [17:33] lauro: install ubuntu-restricted-extras from synaptic [17:33] that should give you everything [17:33] tyler: I'm not sure I understand quite what you mean by desktop thingy. [17:33] Nasra: you can set a bigger default font in your browser settings [17:33] visual effects? [17:33] lauro try synaptec [17:33] I see it [17:33] custum? [17:33] custom* [17:33] gregory: thanks alot...should I save it ...right? [17:34] yes [17:34] tyler: Sure, I guess. [17:34] IdleOne: it says invalid operation "safe-upgrade" [17:34] I see alot of effect [17:34] and I found the cube [17:34] so how I use the cube? [17:34] trying to install upgrade for cupsys, and have this problem --> dpkg: error processing cupsys (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [17:35] cltr+alt+right/left [17:35] hi [17:35] tyler: Set up cube rotation.

[17:36] How do I find the download? [17:36] sudo apt-get install wine [17:37] hi. 'uptime' prints out how long the system was actually running. how can i determine when it was last time completely restarted, not just hibernated? [17:37] isn't there wine in application list?

[17:37] tyler: http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/ try that one, installs a lot more then just wine [17:37] to the 7.10 download? [17:37] why use that link [17:37] tyler: Just search for 'wine' in Synaptic. [17:37] download using synaptic or via apt-get [17:37] ok [17:38] This is linux right? [17:38] GNU/Linux ;) [17:38] lol [17:38] ha [17:38] ok [17:38] I just got into it. [17:38] it seems like was installed, but something is wrong with post-installation of cupsys [17:38] tyler: Well, if it's not Linux, I have no idea how we just managed to set up Desktop Effects for you. [17:38] Does this include anti virus? [17:38] how can I use mac apps on ubuntu 7.10? [17:38] actually GNU, and linux are seperate [17:38] i believe 'uptime' at my debian system printed the time since last reboot (even if the computer did not run in the time between, because it was hibernated), and 'uptime' at my ubuntu system prints the time the system was actually running (so hibernation time is not included) [17:39] how can I install gstreamer [17:39] jvm_: grep "Kernel command line" /var/log/messages [17:39] Stroganoff, do you know what it could be? [17:39] maybe something wrong with apparmor [17:39] tyler: if you are new to GNU/Linux make sure you read the following articles [17:39] http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [17:40] tyler: http://www.zenwalk.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=16 [17:40] that one too [17:40] lauro, did you try synaptic? [17:40] I've read alot about this just ubunto made it seem like a new OS [17:40] is there a way to use mac apps on ubuntu? [17:40] rajiv_nair: Do you have a support question? [17:40] Gah, let's not get into a GNU versus Linux discussion. [17:40] tyler: No, I don't believe there's any antivirus installed by default. [17:40] Erwrwe I think you should use that parrelel [17:40] thingy [17:41] Hi, I`ll greatly appreciate if anyone could help me with my file-sharing disaster. I gave up on samba and currently am setting up nfs, it even worked until I rebooted the client-machine... No configuration changes have been made on the server side. [17:41] Would AVG work?

[17:46] ikonia, I can`t mount an nfs share. [17:46] can nautilus handle nfs shares? [17:46] ShiroUsagi: ok, whats the problem/error [17:47] ikonia, It worked earlier today, before reboot, now I get the "timed out" error [17:47] ikonia, The client reboot, not the server [17:47] konqueror gets kio_slaves to handle nfs:// [17:47] ShiroUsagi: is the nfs server still running, is the client service now running [17:47] jvm_: this gives the last time i booted up. grep "Kernel command line" /var/log/messages . still you have to manually do the math. i dont know which tool that would be, sorry. [17:47] nautilus handles smb:// but no nfs [17:48] ikonia, Everything`s up and running on the server side. [17:48] ikonia, There were no changes made. [17:48] gregory, this command returns nothing here. [17:48] ShiroUsagi: what about the client [17:48] ikonia, Just a reboot. [17:48] Stroganoff: cupsys: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [17:48] ikonia, And this error now/ [17:48] ShiroUsagi: I didn't ask that === crd1b is now known as crdlb [17:49] ShiroUsagi: I asked if the NFS client was running [17:49] ikonia, Ah, yes. [17:49] bart2008: sudo apt-get remove cupsys [17:49] jvm_: ok, then you might try to find an unambigious string via "dmesg" for your system. it prints the kernel messages when your system boots up [17:50] ShiroUsagi: ok, so what mount command are you using and whats the error [17:50] Stroganoff, it will remove other packages, like ubuntu-desktop, for example [17:50] gregory, do dmesg logs contain any timestamps? [17:51] jvm_: no, but dmesg gets monitored also in /var/log/messages. you would have then use the string analogously in the grep command i gave earlier [17:51] is that correct? [17:51] ikonia, The one that worked before... sudo mount 192.168.1.33:/home/username/ /home/myshare [17:51] ShiroUsagi: can you do that from the server local host [17:52] jvm_: wait i am not sure [17:52] gregory, dmesg contains a lot more messages here than the messages log file does. [17:52] maybe it is a bug with cupsys... [17:52] jvm_: what i said should be true [17:53] hy [17:53] hi nikin [17:53] gregory, thanks for your help. but it does not seem to apply to this computer. all messages log files here contain only a few hundred lines [17:53] jvm_: dmesg only records the last time you booted up, /var/log/messages has a longer history (can be days or weeks) [17:53] ikonia, same error "mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.33' failed: timed out, retrying" [17:54] how can we help you nikin [17:54] ShiroUsagi: ok, so your server is having an issue [17:54] ShiroUsagi: if you can't mount it locally, try stopping the NFS server and restarting it, (not reboot) then check for errors [17:54] ikonia, But that, I believe is because I didn`t add localhost to exports, isn`t it? [17:54] I have a computer with SSD and i want to do some graphics work and need some swap... i have an extern all HDD connected throug usb.. and i want to temporarly allocate a 2 Gig Swap file on that... how can i do that? [17:55] ShiroUsagi: your not using local host, your using 192.blah [17:55] gregory, i can't find any messages similiar to those dmesg returns in /var/log/messages [17:55] ikonia, Well, I did that a couple of times already with no visible errors. [17:55] Is there a setting to stop the screen from switching when mouse is in corner? [17:55] gregory, either i am an idiot or my system behaves somehow different. [17:55] ShiroUsagi: what does the logs say [17:56] nikin: imo , i think you should reallocate some of your files to the external and make your swap partiton on the internal, you may need to make the external bootable [17:56] *reallocate [17:56] tyler: there is.. it's a bindable shortcut.. I don't know where exactly.. but there is a tab for *all* bindings [17:57] binarical : i cant use SSD Solid State Disk to swap... becouse it will bur it out in less than a month [17:57] y a quelqun [17:57] and as i have an ASUS eee [17:57] hey anybody [17:57] !fr | mouwen [17:57] its only 4 Gig [17:57] mouwen: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [17:57] gregory, do you know where i should look for some shell script only executed at startup time, so i can put a "date >> ~jvm/.boottimes" there?

[18:23] ikonia: ldconfig -v fixed it, thanks. [18:23] |Lee|: what is your question [18:24] dury: you've lost your bottom pannel and you want to get it back ? [18:24] ikonia: yeah [18:24] |Lee|: what is "it" [18:24] dury: no idea [18:24] <|Lee|> binarical-app: Can I copy and paste a linux driver to a CD, then cd /dev/cdrom and install it from there. [18:24] |Lee| you wouldnt cd /dev/cdrom, youd have to mount it, but yes the idea you have will work [18:24] |Lee|: it will depend on the driver and it's dependencies [18:25] |Lee|: please tell us more about what you are trying to accomplish [18:25] |Lee|: what is the driver for ? [18:25] ErkekAdam: maybe this can be of help to you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#head-729211ea4fb3c5b535d3d8a533dbc007c8dbce14 [18:25] |Lee| if the driver is online, wget would work, save you a cd :) [18:25] <|Lee|> ikonia: Linksys WUSB54G v4 wireless usb network adapter [18:25] <|Lee|> MasterShrak: It is on-line, but I need the driver to get the box on-line :P [18:25] |Lee|: what type of driver is it a linux one, a windows one, what linux kernel is it built against ? [18:25] gregory thx bro [18:25] ikonia: Hello. They are now two databases, but they are still extanging information. [18:26] ikonia: Somehow :P [18:26] gullstad: have you configured one of the other machines to use the second database ? how did you build a new database ? [18:26] |Lee|: i think that a whole cd is a waste for one driver , perhaps what you should look into is : madwifi or : ndiswrapper [18:26] gullstad: other clients sorry [18:26] ikonia: I ran the setup.php on the fresh installation [18:26] binarical-app: how is madwifi or ndiswrapper going to help if he doesn't have a driver ? [18:26] gregory [18:26] <|Lee|> binarical-app: How can I install those without internet?... [18:27] i wanna free irvcd shell ? [18:27] |Lee|: ignore that [18:27] How do I boot Ubuntu from a Live-CD when it doesn't boot by default? [18:27] |Lee|: what type of driver is it a linux one, a windows one, what linux kernel is it built against ? [18:28] Ollie: Go into your BIOS and change your BOOT-sequence. HDD is probly 1st. [18:28] hey guys how do I get back the bottom pannel [18:28] <|Lee|> ikonia: http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html It's one of those, that's all I'm sure about. :P [18:28] |Lee|: madwifi is built from source therefore no "connection" is nessecary if you already have the source code to extract. please print out a how to before you reboot and begin [18:28] gullstad: try connecting to both databases [18:28] ErkekAdam: what is a afree irvcd shell? [18:28] |Lee|: yes you can move files to another computer just burning them into cd [18:28] gullstad: IS that only way? [18:28] Ollie: Probly. [18:28] dury, You need to click on the top panel and add a new one [18:28] |Lee|: but i dont understand why to even ask it [18:28] ikonia: WHat do you mean? [18:28] part [18:28] Anyone else know a different way to boot Ubuntu from Live-CD, without changing BOIS? [18:28] ikonia, im back [18:29] Quick question.. I've got a laptop with the Atheros 52** wifi chipset.. where do I find the madwifi package for it?? [18:29] |Lee|: ndiswrapper uses the windows driver you (may have on a windows partition) if you are runing windows right now then using ndiswrapper will work well for you. [18:29] Ollie: Try pressing F12 at boot. A lot of BIOS have a one time boot menu. [18:29] Ollie: No. It's easy. [18:29] is it apt-gettable or do I have to compile it? [18:29] Ollie normally f12 to get into boot menu [18:29] Ollie: well.. there's all kinds of settings to change how it loads etc.. noacpi and such [18:29] I know how to [18:29] |Lee|: depending on which driver you use, it will depend on how it works, some drivers support 2.6.24 others stop at 2.6.21 [18:29] Just I wanted to know if any easier way [18:29] binarical-app: but he'll still need to put ndiswrapper on a CD to burn it !3~ [18:29] Hi, can anyone help with some driver problems on a 5 year old Sony laptop with Ubuntu 7.04 [18:29] And I think it is actually F2 for my BIOS [18:30] gullstad: so you created the database using the setup.php ? [18:30] or Dell [18:30] gullstad: did you call the databases difference names ? [18:30] So, I change the boot settings to boot from DVD Drive by default and Seconday is hard drive/ [18:30] mrslow_: We won't know till we know what the problem is. :-p [18:30] ikonia: Yes. [18:30] ikonia: Same MySQL user though. [18:30] |Lee|: please use mad wifi. it will make your life alot easyer. the application itself isnt very large, you can put it on a usb stick if you want [18:31] gullstad: that shouldn't be a problem. Connect to both databases, and check the config files, make sure they are both using the different databases. [18:31] Jack_Sparrow: got it [18:31] haha, the laptop has a scroll wheel by the latch and trackpad, just wondering if there would be drivers for it [18:31] ikonia: Sec. [18:31] np [18:31] binarical-app: why are you being so awkward [18:31] binarical-app: he said he can only use a cd [18:31] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [18:31] Alright, going to try changing BOIS, can I totally much up my computer by doing it? [18:31] binarical-app: what is the difference of putting a driver or madwifi on a cdrom [18:31] dury, add whatever you need back into it.. [18:31] ikonia: Yup. Two databases whit diffrent name. Built exactly the same. [18:31] im sorry ikonia, i was only trying to help [18:32] mrslow_: Model? [18:32] binarical-app: your just making nonsense comments [18:32] <|Lee|> Is build-essential installed on Ubuntu server by default? [18:32] binarical-app: and you did with the qmail issue [18:32] |Lee|: no [18:32] slart:Can I do anything wrong by changing BOIS? [18:32] |Lee| no [18:32] ChaosParser: PCG-GRS515SP [18:32] Jack_Sparrow: that's what I'm doing [18:32] <|Lee|> ikonia: What about linux-headers-'uname -r'? [18:32] |Lee|: no [18:32] Ollie, NOt as long as you are only changing the boot sequence [18:32] ikonia: Exept the other (new one) is smaller. As expected. So they are not cloned. [18:32] gullstad: ok, so what is the location of the two different torrent flux installs ? [18:32] !fakeroot [18:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about fakeroot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:32] Ollie: not if you use the regular BIOS setup thingy.. well. you don't want to click around just to try things out.. but changing boot order won't mess things up [18:33] Jack_Sparrow: the trash [18:33] what is fakeroot? [18:33] Ok, cheers guys! [18:33] ikonia: /var/www/torrentflux and /var/www/mgwtorrent [18:33] <|Lee|> ikonia: Damn, I'll need to get those and another package on to it, but then I found a tutorial on the Ubuntu forums ikonia. [18:33] <|Lee|> I gotta go [18:33] Hopefully see you, when I in Ubuntu!! [18:33] Ollie: and there's usually a "Reset to defaults" option somewhere in there [18:33] ikonia: there are simple ways to do things, as well as complicated ones. it really is a matter of opinion [18:33] Oh right, ta! [18:33] Jack_Sparrow: the four different desktops [18:34] ikonia: Think server reboot could have done it? [18:34] binarical-app but what you are suggesting was no easier than putting a precompiled driver that is MEANT for linux on a cd, than putting a madwifi package on a cd that is not MEANT for linux [18:34] gullstad: nah [18:34] gullstad: it looks like they are still using the sambe db [18:34] gullstad: how did you do the 2 installs ? [18:34] and to show the desktop [18:34] dury, THey are named something odd,, task or desktop switcher.. one sec [18:34] ikonia, still coming up with Not loading nvidia module; note used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:34] h4wk: sudo modprobe nvidia ? [18:34] I'm having a problem with pptp VPN, I need help so i can do work, can anyone help? [18:35] ikonia: One of them I installed a long time ago, but basiblt I just moved the html folder into a suited /var/www/folder and ran the setup.php on both. [18:35] ikonia thats what im doing [18:35] mrslow_: Try to use it a few times, then grab the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices [18:35] ikonia: in the short term, yes you are correct, however in my personal experiance using ndiswrapper was alot more of a headache , then madwifi is. [18:35] gullstad: thats why they are seeing the same [18:35] gullstad: they are still using the same db [18:35] ikonia: I figured it out. Server is worki'n fine. Just a STUPID misstake by me :p [18:36] binarical-app: he was using NEITHER ! [18:36] what is fakeroot and when can i use it? [18:36] dury, window selector or workspace switcher [18:36] ikonia: that really is a matter of opinion, and i here by drop the subject [18:36] gullstad: what was it ? [18:36] dury, the last is show desktop [18:36] binarical-app: he didn't want to use madwifi or ndiswapper [18:36] ikonia: They are oki. But my web-browser stored one of them in cache and since they are form the same server he interperated both as one. [18:36] got it [18:36] ikonia: Just cleared cache :) [18:36] ChaosParser: ok, I'm fairly new to the whole Linux scene but I'm a confident PC user ;) how do i go about that? [18:36] gullstad: ahhhhhh [18:36] thanks [18:36] gullstad: good call [18:36] gullstad: well found [18:36] server irc.omega.bg [18:37] got it all thanks [18:37] ikonia: Thanks. You been at good help. I love you :) [18:37] mrslow_: Open a terminal, type cat /proc/bus/input/devices and press enter [18:37] kotka_zla, nie spamuj ;D [18:37] mrslow_: Then post the output in pastebin [18:37] aha, that easy [18:37] !pastebin [18:37] 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) [18:37] dury.. just dont do it again. :) [18:38] ikonia: I'll problt be back though. Since I tend to mess things up :) [18:38] gullstad: don't worry, every one makes mistakes [18:39] ikonia: Still getting the same error and using sudo modprobe nvidia [18:39] ikonia: Not like mine :P My last install i managed to make all accounts whitout root prevliges :P [18:39] h4wk: sudo insmod nvidia.ko [18:40] ikonia no such file or dir [18:40] h4wk: you'll have to go into /lib/$kernel/modules [18:40] ChaosParser: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63205/ [18:40] K4k: then I think it's "nvidia" under that [18:40] sorry it took me a while [18:40] h4wk: or maybe video [18:41] h4wk: /lib/modules/$kernel sorry [18:41] hi, i have no sound... i tried vlc and totem... the thing is... ive got sound in webpages... but not in movies... ive got the volume up and all the codecs ( i think vlc even have theirs owns codecs built-in) ... since ive got sound in webs.. i assume it has to be a stupid thing... but im super noob... anyhelp?

[20:02] JS__: depends on why there was two applets in the first place [20:02] Slart: well then what should i do? [20:02] backgen: pick one at random and then make sure it's open [20:03] weird problem guys: my panel won't load up unless i switch to another vt and killall gnome-panel What's the matter? [20:03] ok. thank you both for your help!! bye. [20:03] Slart: ah ok...well then whats a good random port number?

I'm unable to get this working (with SATA drives) on my Gentoo Xen system currently. I'm wondering what the newest Xen Dom0 capable kernel ubuntu currently provides, and if the libsas module have working SATA support now in that version.

[20:06] backgen: thing is, there might be open ports, but they have to be forwarded to your computer, so basically without being a 1337 h4x0r and reconfiguring the school router, it aint happening [20:06] no it worked last time [20:07] its a prefectly good burn [20:07] maybe he has the permisions wrong [20:07] bobgill: if so, you can just, say, write 'exit 0' as the first line of /etc/init.d/gdm [20:07] JyZyXEL: bad cd drive? [20:07] darnit [20:07] graft: well actually i want to run fsck on my root, that's the goal. just realized no X server isn't going to do it [20:07] no it worked [20:07] permissions are wrong?

[20:12] I just did the whole nickserv-registering process [20:12] Is there a god tutorial about configuring apache and ubuntu to have for each user a subdomain, web-data in the home folder, maybe with bash scripts ? With all permissions and so on... Would be awesome! [20:14] what is the command to find out what application might be using my soundcard [20:14] hi all. my gdmgreetre resoltuion is wrong, but the Xres is OK. Any idea how to adjust that? [20:14] gdmgreeter :) [20:14] in #gobuntu [20:15] backslash: i don't think apache can do that by default... you could set up virtual hosts on a per-user basis, or auto-gen config files, but i dunno if it will just do it automagically [20:16] backslash: but i could be wrong, you should read here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir [20:16] i have an intellimouse 3.0a, and i have followed the guide to make it work on http://epologetics.org/ubuntuhowto.php#intellimouse but my two side buttons still don't seem to work [20:16] backslash: in fact i thinki am wrong and you can just do UserDir http://*.foo.com/ [20:17] graft: Okay, im gonna have a look at that... But the whole folder permissions system, and that every user has his data with his permissions in his home folder? [20:17] backslash: oh wait, but that'll just redirect.... hrm. [20:17] weird problem guys: my panel won't load up unless i switch to another vt and killall gnome-panel What's the matter? [20:17] Just so I could create users with their own filders [20:17] backslash: well, apache does that by default, in ~/public_html [20:17] any thoughts [20:18] backslash: which you can access with like http://foo.com/~backslash [20:18] Yea.. Didn't know that, which is why im looking for an apache tutorial or something [20:18] yes [20:18] my ubuntu says /dev/dsp is busy(the sound driver) i get this error alot how do i fix it? [20:18] backslash: JFGI [20:18] i have an intellimouse 3.0a, and i have followed the guide to make it work on http://epologetics.org/ubuntuhowto.php#intellimouse but my two side buttons still don't seem to work [20:18] Itaku: stop running a sound server, would be my guess [20:18] Itaku: also why are you using /dev/dsp? [20:19] graft: okay... [20:19] graphical tool for displaying information about your computer? [20:19] graft: i never set anything [20:19] i just installed phpmyadmin, but i have no idea where it got installed [20:19] graft: how do i stop using the sound server?

[20:20] yeah^^ [20:21] Itaku: in that case i'm not sure... i guess you need to configure your sound system to use ALSA instead of OSS [20:21] Hi, I need to send files from kubuntu to winxp over ethernet.

If you're using ALSA you shouldn't be getting reports about /dev/dsp [20:22] Ar-Pharazon: yeah, set up a FTP-server on the XP-can and send your files to it [20:22] blinkiz: normal DVD-R only have 4.25G space [20:22] ~4700MB [20:22] graft: well thats what i assume cuz VMWare is yelling at me about that [20:22] anyone? [20:22] Ar-Pharazon: just get winscp and use that to connect to ubuntu... much easier than setting up an FTP server on the windows side [20:23] LegionX, Okay, lets say its on 4.25. Why can't i burn the image? [20:23] ay^: How do I set it up and how do I send them afterwards? [20:23] graft: What's winscp?

[20:39] lamego: so it has been removed from ubuntu? [20:40] daire, no, it waws not [20:40] Ubuntu--Newbie: kvpnc ? [20:40] graft: It does, yes. [20:40] Ubuntu--Newbie: try vpnc [20:40] lamego: but it's no longer in the options [20:40] graft: The winxp pc doesn't have wireless though. [20:40] Is there a way to automatically update the grub menu? I installed windows and overwrote the mbr with grub but am not sure how to easily get windows on the list [20:40] can i get these from the add/remove? [20:40] daire, try installing gnome-compiz-manager, or ask in #compiz [20:40] I cannot connect using RDP , it is timing out [20:40] Ar-Pharazon: is the PC connected to the Net at all? presumably it is since it could talk to your laptop before... [20:40] <_Lee_> What's wrong with this command? sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh [20:40] anyone know of any ssh settings that would cause a vnc connection through putty to never fully connect?

Just to make sure we don't misunderstand each other, how is internet relevant? [20:41] <_Lee_> What's wrong with this command? sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh ... [20:41] amenado: yes. I saved it and tried sudo update-grub but windows doesn't show on the kernel list [20:41] graft: They both connect to the internet through a wireless router.

[20:42] <_Lee_> What's wrong with this command? sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh ... PLEASE HELP. [20:42] I am on a LAN . I still cannot RDP :( [20:42] hello [20:42] _Lee_ - try sudo ./usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh [20:42] J-a-k-e: could be.. what soundcard are you using? [20:42] ader10-> look at the file carefully, there are blurbs on how to add windows entries, they are commented out [20:42] graft: Well... Yeah. Kind of. I can't share files over *that* LAN though. [20:42] _Lee_ - note the dot at the beginning... [20:42] How can i make Greasemokey script work for firefox in linux [20:43] Ar-Pharazon: why can't you share files over it? [20:43] <_Lee_> danand_: Still not a command it says. [20:43] amenado: I know... [20:43] Ar-Pharazon: if both machines are talking to the same router, they can almost certainly talk to each other [20:43] _Lee_: drop the "PLEASE HELP" stuff.. that file may not be executable.. i'd use "sudo sh /usr/share.....blablabla" [20:43] BizMan2008-> on your putty client, is Enable X forwarding checked? X display location :0 ? [20:43] <_Mick> so, anyone can help with netinstall? [20:43] Actually i need to edit a text file to change the signature [20:43] _Lee_: do the file have execute permission? [20:43] _Lee_: or user with that file [20:43] <_Lee_> sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh [20:43] ader10 so uncomment those and modify to get a windows entry [20:43] amenado: All I have to do is save that and it will work on the reboot? Nothing else? [20:43] <_Lee_> Er [20:43] <_Lee_> sh: Can't open /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh [20:44] Is it possible to get mouse trails on Ubuntu? [20:44] _Lee_: does the file exist? [20:44] ader10 commented directives will not be acted on, you have to uncomment the entries [20:44] graft: Well, that LAN (192.168.1.*) only has the router and the laptop. The pc is connected to the router by a cat5. [20:44] <_Lee_> Slart, it should, I installed libdvdread3 .. [20:44] _Lee_ - sudo ./usr/share.... see the dot before /usr [20:44] _Lee_: remember.. Linux is case sensitive.. Examples and examples isn't the same folder [20:44] Slart: it's a creative x-fi xtreme audio card [20:44] amenado: ... After I finish editing the file and save it, do I have to do anything else? [20:44] Ar-Pharazon: but they should be able to communicate via the router [20:44] how do I edit the list of entries in GRUB Boot menu? [20:44] graft: When I shared files between them I used 192.168.4.*, the pc was 4.1 and the laptop was 4.2 [20:44] _Lee_: use to autocomplete folders and files [20:44] Ar-Pharazon: I have the same set-up [20:44] ader10-> reboot? [20:45] Ar-Pharazon: they're probably still on the same LAN, i would guess [20:45] YuriQ: /etc/grub/ or something like that [20:45] can someone tell me about doing backups onto a different part of my own drive? i tried zipping my home directory, but it errors at the end because i keep using the computer while it's zipping. .. how to fix that? [20:45] YuriQ-> use vim or nano as root [20:45] ay^: Really? I thought the router was only good for internet access unless everyone has a wireless adapter. [20:45] J-a-k-e: the x-fi isn't well supported in linux.. creative isn't playing nice with the other kids in the playground [20:45] YuriQ: i know that the file is in the /etc folder [20:45] amenado: I seem to recall having to do something like update-grub, but it looks like that's not needed. Thank you! [20:45] graft: So how do I share files over the router? [20:45] Ar-Pharazon: well, just plug the ubuntu laptop's IP in as the hostname for winscp [20:45] is there a graphical configuration utility for that? [20:46] Ar-Pharazon: it should prompt you for your ubuntu username and password, and then you'll be all set [20:46] Ar-Pharazon: no, I have wlan from my uber-1337 laptop and a wired connection to my stationary, and I amd ssh:ing from my laptop to stationairy as we speak [20:46] !who > YuriQ (You talking to me?) [20:46] Hi. [20:46] _Lee_: the path to that file is wrong.. mine is in /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/ .. not in examples etc [20:46] !hi | tyler_ [20:46] <_Lee_> Slart: Don't blame me, blame https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html [20:46] @Flare183 sure [20:47] I was curious about the taskbar is it changable? [20:47] is it possible to login to GNOME as root? [20:47] _Lee_: I didn't blame anyone.. I just informed you [20:47] like anyway in the world [20:47] tyler_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:47] _Lee_ - sudo ./usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh :) [20:47] Itaku: yes.. but it isn't recommended, good for you, needed or safe [20:47] graft: So the window asks me for hostname, username and pass, the username and pass should be my ubuntu logins, is that right? [20:47] Itaku: well, it shouldnät be a problem if you got root access [20:47] YuriQ: ok, gedit I guess [20:47] danand_: drop the first dot [20:47] yep [20:47] Slart: i want to how do i? [20:47] Ar-Pharazon: yep! [20:47] amenado: i dont need it set for any other linux box i have enabled vnc through ssh [20:47] Ar-Pharazon: yeah [20:48] even when i add it though, it still doesnt work [20:48] _Lee_ - sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh :) [20:48] How do I get mouse trails on Ubuntu? [20:48] what compiz packages does gutsy come preinstalled with.. i uninstalled them to fix some problems and now i cant get it back [20:48] hello everyone! i downloaded adobe flash player, but i cannot install it, it says "archive type not supported" when i double-click the .RPM file. can anyone help me? [20:48] <_Lee_> danand_: You lose, I did it already .. [20:48] BizMan2008-> you keep insisting you dont have to, but does it work? [20:48] _Lee_ - :P [20:48] graft: It says "connection failed". The details are "connection failed". [20:48] d1gital: compiz [20:48] does anyone have a url for how to back up your stuff to a different section of your own drive please? [20:48] Itaku: why do you want to? It's almost always a bad idea [20:48] !rpm | geoyo [20:48] geoyo: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [20:48] geoyo: choose *tar.gz from the webpage [20:48] chalcedony: you could tar it [20:48] !flash [20:48] Itaku: there is a switch somewhere.. gconf-editor perhaps .. I can't remember.. but you have been warned.. I'll taunt you if you come back with a broken install.. =) [20:48] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [20:48] Ar-Pharazon: can you ping the laptop from your windows machine?

[20:49] Itaku: then ask us how to fix that instead [20:49] Chalcedony if you have 2 harddrives try putting them all the important files on to it. [20:49] graft: Yeah. [20:49] my responsibility blablabla [20:49] Itaku: you can open a root shell if you want [20:49] On to 1* [20:49] naw i want root gnome [20:49] can you just tell me? [20:49] Itaku: if you're lazy, you can just disable passwords, or open a root shell, or give yourself a long time before your sudo tickets run out, etc. [20:49] Does anyone here know how to change my taskbar theme? [20:49] !sudoroot | Itaku [20:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about sudoroot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:49] Ar-Pharazon: are you running ssh on the ubuntu machine? [20:49] tyler-_: um yeah maybe .. i'd have to go outside and find a computer that has working drive to salvage i guess. [20:49] !rootsudo | Itaku [20:49] Itaku: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [20:50] chalcedony: mkay well you could make a list of all the files, and then tell tar to tar those files [20:50] Itaku: I don't know where exactly.. there is a switch somewhere .. something like "allow root to login to gnome".. it's enabled by default [20:50] gregory thanks, i have downloaded it, how can i install it now? [20:50] graft: Not as far as I know. [20:50] ay^: thousands [20:50] Itaku log in as root from terminal and startx [20:50] Ar-Pharazon: well, you should probably do that first :) [20:50] Itaku: might be in the login window preferences [20:50] Chalcedony: you can also buy thumbdrives maybe burn some CD but that may be a hassle. [20:50] Hello?Are there Italian?Contact me!Please [20:50] mmk [20:50] ill look for it [20:50] graft: Er... How do I it, then? [20:50] chalcedony: mkay, you could tell it which folders [20:50] !it | OltreIrc`27323 [20:50] OltreIrc`27323: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

I know someone who has a m-audio card should be able to borrow it for an hour or so, m-audio even have linux drivers on their site. [20:50] don't hurt the bot! [20:51] hehe rush to the it [20:51] J-a-k-e: yes.. it's very annoying.. email creative and tell them what you think.. seems they get a lot of fan-mail these days =) [20:51] chalcedony: say you wanted your homedir backed-up youd just tell tar to tar that dir and all files in it would get tared as well [20:51] hello people, how do I use a patch-file [20:51] geoyo: right click on the file and extract it. [20:51] now that's why I love linux. Someone sent me a whole bunch of photos, one per email, all encoded as winmail.dat files. Luckily I can use uudeview + tnef + a bit of bash to process the whole lot in one go straight from my spool and dump the files to my photos directory. [20:51] ay^: tyler-_ what i need is the step by step commands to back it up to another part of the same drive , tarring fist.. it's my home directory that has to be baked up before i upgrade to gutsy [20:52] Oddar, man patch [20:52] Creative sound cards are not to die for I think they make sound, sound like shit.

[21:07] i prefer pkill [21:07] pkill -9 -f firefox [21:07] Oddar, /usr/src/linux (if i still remember) [21:07] Slart: is there a way to kill the applying changes synaptics window? i've tried just closing it and firefox already prompted me to force quit [21:07] kill -9 $(pidof firefox-bin) :) [21:07] He's gone. [21:08] amenado: well i ahve not ssh'd from a linux to linux machine, just windows to linux, using putty [21:08] Anyways, can anyone help me? [21:08] killed him :) [21:08] I have an issue with NetworkManager on Feisty. === zak is now known as zakke [21:08] BizMan2008-> well you didnt even do what I asked you to do... [21:08] daire: hmm.. run xkill in a terminal and click on the window you want to kill [21:08] amenado: then i misunderstood u [21:08] I'm trying to close VLC media player... I hit exit on it... and the music is still playing... I tried to find the process to kill it, but it doesn't see the process and music keeps playing - Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) [21:08] amenado: can i ssh in and do what you need me ot do, i am at work [21:08] I take that as a no? [21:08] does anyone know how to get ubuntu installed without any cdrom, usb, or whatever... got a thinkpad lite here... [21:09] danand_: pkill is superior to pidof and killall in that it can match substrings, so you need not have the exact name of the binary [21:09] slart: cool ty, that was painless [21:09] BizMan2008-> where is this ubuntu box? [21:09] djGentoo: maybe if you stated your issue, people could help? [21:09] graft, danand_ and pkill supports autocompleting using =) [21:09] graft - just wanted to give another kill command :) [21:09] CorbinFox: in a console type: ps axu | grep vlc. what is the processid of vlc? [21:09] I said there's an issue with NetworkManager, and that it tries and fails to connect over and over [21:09] EspenAO, you need to have an external media to boot somwhoe [21:09] I'm trying to close VLC media player... I hit exit on it... and the music is still playing... I tried to find the process to kill it, but it doesn't see the process and music keeps playing - Ubuntu 7.10.....anybody? [21:09] Conexion: in a console type: ps axu | grep vlc. what is the processid of vlc? [21:09] Slart: it does? not my pkill... :( [21:10] Hi all, i've got a VPN going with my works machine, but they run on Mac and I can't get access to the network drives from ubuntu - can anyone help? [21:10] EspenAO-> two ways, if you already have linux on it, and if your ethernet supports pxe booting [21:10] graft - that could also be dangerous though.... [21:10] CorbinFox: sorry [21:10] Conexion, ps -ef | grep vlc [21:10] Slart: maybe my shell isn't cool enough [21:10] If you install software using sudo make install, is there an automated way to remove it? [21:10] amenado: at home [21:10] i am at work [21:10] chimp: sudo make uninstall [21:10] haha [21:10] Slart: when i try to get gnash swf player now it tells me This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first. [21:10] i should have tried that [21:10] danand_: eh, kill is always a little dangerous... that just makes it more fun, in my opinion [21:10] BizMan2008-> when you get home later, try to ssh locally with X forwarding [21:10] gregory: It lists 1755 and 2635 [21:10] feel stupid now [21:10] graft: hmm.. odd.. afaik mine has always done that.. running gutsy [21:10] graft: so nothing? [21:10] chimp, use checkinstall make install, so that the software get's installed like a package, you can remove it later [21:10] how do i do that sir [21:10] gregory: aheh, no worries [21:10] what command amenado [21:10] now type kill -9 1755 [21:11] i see lamega [21:11] amenado: got xp installed on it now ? so i was curious if there were any way to maybe partition my HD, then install it on there from windows... not sure, though [21:11] yo i have a question... how can i open the windows files while im using ubuntu? i mean how can i explore the windows partitions? [21:11] chimp, most makefiles do not provide an uninstall rule [21:11] err, sorry, djGentoo - is it with all APs, or just one in particular? [21:11] amenado: sorry, no questionmark there after now [21:11] daire: hmm.. I'd just try logging off and on again... or rebooting.. you could kill the processes.. but it might be easier to just restart [21:11] slart: will do ty [21:11] Only one, but it's the only one I have a key for [21:11] BizMan2008-> or if you have access to a linux box now, use your putty to log in with X forwarding and then attemp to log on to your home via ssh with X forwarding also [21:11] graft - :) [21:11] csais: they should be available to you in /media/ [21:11] All the rest are protected and inaccessible. [21:11] gregory: Lamego: That worked, awesome... now, what does grep do? [21:11] djGentoo: but it can scan fine, anyway... [21:11] graft: Yes. [21:11] csais> go to Places->Computer [21:11] Conexion, man grep [21:12] djGentoo: and running dhcp by hand doesn't do it? [21:12] amenaado: no, nothing here at work [21:12] EspenAO-> maybe you can use windows bootloader, i have not tried myself, please google for it.. [21:12] graft: Haven't tried it... [21:12] what command do i type in the terminal [21:12] amenado: thanks, appreciate it [21:12] BizMan2008-> then try it when you get home later.. [21:12] <_Rambaldi_> what command will untar a bunch of tar.gz for me, tar xzvf *.gz does not work [21:12] dhcpcd eth2? [21:12] Conexion: it takes the output from the ps command (| builds a pipe) and searches for the pattern string: "vlc" [21:12] !doesntwork | _Rambaldi_ [21:12] Conexion: is displays lines that match you criteria [21:12] _Rambaldi_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [21:12] amenado: ok what do i type in, ive only used putty through windows [21:13] i've got a VPN going with my works machine, but they run on Mac and I can't get access to the network drives from ubuntu - can anyone help? [21:13] thanks dinasty [21:13] <_Rambaldi_> what was that for Slart [21:13] Thanks everyone :) [21:13] _Rambaldi_: there must be some kind of error message? [21:13] BizMan2008-> you have not used your ubuntu box yet? only windows stuff? then may I suggest learning linux a little bit via tutorials? [21:13] hi all, will I remain bootable after resizing /boot? [21:13] _Rambaldi_: try this: for i in *.tar.gz; do tar -zxvf $i; done [21:13] djGentoo: over here it's dhcbd for some reason... but whatever runs your ship [21:13] (my partitions go in this order: /boot /windowz "/" /home) [21:13] amenado: no i have used ubuntu for well over a year now [21:13] I'll try it and be back, thanks for the hint. [21:13] ive never used ssh linux to linux [21:13] djGentoo: oh mine runs through dbus, how irritating [21:14] BizMan2008, if you need X11 forwarding, ssh -X host [21:14] graft: Your dhcpd or NetworkManager? [21:14] djGentoo: my dhcpd [21:14] BizMan2008-> in command line ssh -X localhost [21:14] _Rambaldi_: I just meant that "doesn't work" isn't really a good description.. are there error messages in syslog? do you get any output in the terminal? does the computer reboot? [21:14] hi on lts (6.06) Is there a way to apt-get new kernels ? [21:14] djGentoo: but, networkmanager is also part of that whole dbus tangle [21:14] amenanado [21:14] I need help my sound went off It was working like 5 minutes ago it's all pluged in everything. [21:14] argh [21:14] ok now i use private key to get in [21:14] If you mess up an install is there a way to reset all its settings/configs files etc without reinstalling the os? [21:14] dikdust, no, you would get into troubles [21:14] how would i include that [21:15] chimp, for a particular package, yes, remove it with --purge and reinstall it [21:15] djGentoo: you could (a) kill dbus and (b) download dhclient, etc., and go the old-fashioned route, see if that works [21:15] Lamego: i mean more generally [21:15] chimp: I don't think there is a "reset everything to default" button.. what did you mess up? [21:15] :P [21:15] BizMan2008, you dont need a private key to login [21:15] chimp, no [21:15] "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory" [21:15] djennewe: dhcp3-client is still in the repository [21:15] dikdust, to play with other kernels, you cant use apt-get, unless you write a install script for it [21:15] Lamego, I mean, if I want to exclude bug fixes I need to recompile myself , there aren't a rep [21:15] I have really ugly Bold fonts in my Firefox, especially in GMail - they are extremely thick, and letters are squished together [21:15] Lamego: how is that? thats how i set it up [21:15] djennewe: never mind that, that was for djGentoo, who apparently died [21:15] dikdust, yes, you will need to build it yourself [21:15] ok thanks Dinasty and Lamego [21:15] I've followed a lot of the tutorials on ubuntuforums [21:16] YuriQ: perhaps you don't have the ms fonts installed? [21:16] I guess I can wain for next lts :P [21:16] Biohazard, hum ? the sshd is setup to request for a private key ?

[21:23] Is there a backup from last restart. [21:23] Ar-Pharazon: the ethernet shouldn't be the limiting factor, the wireless connection should be [21:24] I think that kernel updates should be inclued in ubuntu lts [21:24] cchild: well.. I can't help you any further.. I just saw that there were some threads about it... [21:24] almost security bug [21:24] :P [21:24] !ot | dikdust [21:24] dikdust: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[21:28] graft: Wouldn't it be easier/faster to do this over the ethernet cards and not involve the router? [21:29] csais: been years since i read one, but the one i used was 20 years old - "The C programming language", by Dennis Ritchie + Brian Kernighan [21:29] ight i'll look for it, thanks [21:29] Slart, to be honest I am not sure, I said it is ok as in I didn't found any problems with java enabled pages [21:29] Ar-Pharazon: you have to involve the router somehow, but you could plug your laptop into the router via your crossover cable and avoid the wireless [21:29] is it possible to reduce my monitor brightness from with ubuntu (not using the buttons on the monitor)? [21:29] Lamego: hang on.. lemme find an url to try [21:30] <_Rambaldi_> is there channel for themes?

[21:30] graft: I'd have to pull my pc out of it for that. The pc doesn't have wireless at all, except through the router. [21:30] graft: another question, which is the best way to get used to linux?, reading, forums, tutorial, or just use it [21:30] Ar-Pharazon: your router only has one wire port? [21:31] graft: Yeah [21:31] csais: just use it [21:31] Ar-Pharazon: hm. well, i'd buy a switch in any case, they're only like $20 [21:31] csais experience is the best [21:31] hello [21:31] join #ubuntu-de [21:31] Ar-Pharazon: as for your connectivity issue... difficult to say. [21:32] ok thanks [21:32] Ar-Pharazon: run this on your lappy, see how it does: http://www.bandwidthplace.com/ [21:32] is there a way to make a NTFS HDD to ext3 without loseing the data on it???

[21:35] Slart, sorry i am confused [21:35] if I modify .fonts.conf [21:35] how soon are the changes in effect? [21:35] mohbana: it's a protocol for controlling your monitor from your computer.. and you can get info from the monitor too [21:35] can someone help me? [21:35] plz [21:36] Distraught: with what? [21:36] echo -n 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness [21:36] mohbana [21:36] !anyone [21:36] 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? [21:36] graft: Sorry I dropped from the server... Yes only 1 port on router. So? [21:36] i "lost" a partition [21:36] Distraught: what's the issue? [21:36] i tried everything [21:36] nothing worked [21:36] Distraught: give much greater detail [21:36] hey anyone, what is ubufox, how does it differ from firefox, and why does my synaptic update want to install it? [21:36] mohbana: there is an applet for the gnome-panel.. "monitor profile switcher" that can do it [21:36] what are the partitions originally, what tools did you use, etc. [21:37] hi everybody... is there anyone who is using latex-make? i get a "no rule to make target" error and the manual isn't helping... :/ [21:37] Distraught: http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Ultimate-Recovery-CD-2008-52in1-AIO/4333199f4c630cc55a519067f25b9f178eb38e8fac04 [21:37] i have an 80 GB HDD and i was installing ubuntu. I was in a hurry so i chose automated install [21:37] lol [21:37] .. [21:37] Ar-Pharazon: well, so you have two options if you want a wired connection: (1) figure out how to setup your laptop with a static ip and wire it directly to your PC, or (b) buy a switch for $20 [21:37] my seconf partition was lost [21:37] Distraught, was lost, how ? [21:37] i can;t get it [21:38] graft: 1 doesn't sound so bad. [21:38] gpart gparted testdisk [21:38] .. [21:38] nothing worked [21:38] my HDD is shown as 40 GB [21:38] dude, stop panicking, first of all, and talk slowly. how big were the partitions initially? [21:39] 2 partitions of 40GB each [21:39] also explaining how they were "lost" could be helpfull [21:39] what filesystems on each? [21:39] ext2 [21:39] hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [21:39] graft: So how do I set up a static IP? [21:39] !a [21:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about a - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:39] Ar-Pharazon: potentially it isn't... the rough outline is: write down the IPs of both machines, set them both up with the same static IP, then wire them together and repeat your SCP thing [21:39] lamego i was installing ubuntu and setup failed [21:39] ok [21:40] Ar-Pharazon: in linux you can probably right-click on network manager and do it... [21:40] so, currently, you are in ubuntu - your HDD is what device? [21:40] anyone knows how can i define a display size in VBoX? [21:40] is it SATA? PATA? [21:40] Ar-Pharazon: on windows i'm not sure, you'll have to crawl around in the system settings thing, but it shouldn't be too hard [21:40] Distraught, the ubuntu install does not delete partitions unless you tell him to do so :) [21:40] i tried to install again i did it and my hdd is not shown [21:40] Can anyone help me with 32bit mplayer ??? I cant play a video file with mplayer32 anymore. it says "Option [gnome-mplayer] needs a parameter at line 4 [21:40] graft: Nope, dhcdbd didn't help at all. [21:40] Distraught, you are refering to 2 partitions on a single disk, or 2 disks ? [21:40] 2 partitions [21:40] I ran it as root and as a normal user [21:40] and neither had any effect [21:41] i don;t care where the data is i just need my capacity ( got a backup) [21:41] graft: The IP for windows stays at 192.168.4.1 so I'm guessing it's already static. [21:41] any deas? [21:41] ideas [21:41] Distraught, if you dont care about yourt data you just need to create the second partition [21:41] type in "df" and paste it in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [21:41] Ar-Pharazon: no, just your router consistently assigns it the same IP [21:41] Ar-Pharazon: it almost certainly uses DHCP [21:41] graft: No ideas? [21:41] Distraught, sudo fdisk -l [21:42] lamego you didn;t get it there is no other partition no unpartitional space anything [21:42] graft: It's static or the other ethernet card too. [21:42] soz nothing.onlu 40 gb [21:42] graft: I can ping both ways over the crossover now, btw [21:42] Distraught, sudo fdisk -l [21:42] djGentoo: nein, other than googling your card for similar reports [21:42] graft: :( [21:42] and post it on pastebin [21:42] How to enable universe/multiverse repositories? [21:42] yeah mycelium [21:42] Ar-Pharazon: you have two cards in that thing?

[21:44] Distraught, the linux kernel is identifying that disk with a 40 GB capacity [21:44] graft: yep [21:44] there are no on repos [21:44] Moofius: run "sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list" and remove the comments from the respective lines...

[21:45] Moofius, you can also go to system..admin..software sources and enable them there [21:45] Jack_Sparrow: not from ssh ;) [21:45] agreed [21:45] graft: I think I got winscp to work over the crossover. [21:46] hi all, What do we use to configure compiz? is it the gnome-compiz-manager? or is there something better I should use? TIA :) === chryss_ is now known as chryss [21:46] Distraught, have you checked your bios options for the disk config ? I remember that were some options that could affect the disk size detection, on older bios [21:46] graft: it says "1,494 Kib/s" [21:46] swiftfox / firefox crashes like its going out of style [21:46] why [21:46] Ar-Pharazon: nice [21:46] "FATAL -> Failed to fork." [21:46] from apt-get [21:46] during boot does the BIOS properly reports the disk size ? [21:46] lamego i never checked bios (siemens notebook) because it does't allow any config [21:47] Distraught, well, does it report the disk size at boot ? [21:47] *aptitude [21:47] graft: That's 1.5 MB/sec, correct? [21:47] Pelican, How did you install flash/gnash and what addons did you put in.. is this ff3 or the ff supplied with ubuntu [21:47] lamego no it only shows that i have a hard disk ( no size) [21:47] Distraught, I am not aware of any x86 PC from this century without some kind of BIOS config :P [21:47] lamego my english is bad sorry [21:48] Distraught, btw, you mentioned you did a Ubuntu install, so why the only listed partition is NTFS ? === monobi is now known as Monobi [21:49] why is [21:49] will somebody please tell me what it is that keeps renaming my windows partition e.g. /media/disk/... to /media/disk-2/..

[21:50] Distraught, your issue is not Ubuntu related, since you have windows installed you can also check from it that your disk size is 40 GB, if you do have a physical 80GB disk you probably have a misconfiguration at the BIOS level [21:50] i can't do any configs there [21:50] Hi [21:50] I need help [21:50] graft: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibit [21:50] Kib [21:51] or, your BIOS does not support such a larger disk (which also happens with very old BIOSes) [21:51] I have to add a new user in my system, and then connnect within with ssh [21:51] osimoveit, man adduser [21:51] ops, Osirys [21:51] Lamego [21:51] then [21:51] aduser than?

[22:04] zero__, yes, but for hardy, gor to #ubuntu+1 [22:04] zero__: yes [22:04] go [22:04] \thx [22:06] hello. how does the ext3 file system work? [22:06] !ext3 [22:06] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [22:06] BrightEyes`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 [22:06] Lamego which is the best filesystem supported from linux? [22:06] !best [22:06] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:06] I would keep with ext3 [22:07] gettin no help in there, how to upgrade to beta? [22:07] zero__, keep asking there, here we don't use it [22:08] and reading the topic is always a good start when joining a channel [22:08] I'm running amarok and it's using 96% on a dualcore 2GHz. When I search in the media lib the music stutters. Can someone recommend a lightweightish mediaplayer with a medialib? [22:08] i didnt know that the ext3 filesystem need defragmentation. why is that? doesnt the filesystem moves the data blocks so they will all be near to their familiar? [22:08] !defrag | BrightEyes` [22:08] BrightEyes`: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [22:08] I'm interested in setting up a static IP address for my Gutsy box. I need to be able to do this from the command line. Any ideas? [22:09] Lamego: does vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic sound like an appropriate kernel name; i just don't want to eff up my stuff [22:09] bofe, you just need to edit /etc/network/interfaces [22:09] Lamego: I'm in that file. I'm not sure what to put in for "broadcast" or "network" [22:09] bofe, sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.x netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.100.255 up [22:09] bofe, those specific values depend on your network config [22:10] I'm still having problems getting a working display driver for my card and monitor. Any ideas? [22:10] if you have other computers already configured, or dchp, check their config [22:10] to install 64 ubuntu on an intel machine .. do I use the amd64 iso? [22:11] almostdvs, linux-image-blah-blah, sounds, the vmlinuz is the kernel file, not the package name [22:11] Lamego: Okay. I want the IP to be 10.0.0.100 -- the router IP is 10.0.0.1. It's connected to the network right now via DHCP. [22:11] grr let me ask that again .. to install 64bit ver of ubuntu do I use the amd64 iso? [22:11] Anyone know how to get my ATI Radeo x850 card drivers working and also my monitor as well. [22:11] gw is the 10.0.0.1 [22:11] ? [22:11] BSG75, yes [22:12] Lamego: thanks .. they should really consider renaming that iso from amd64 to just 64bit [22:12] it's bloody confusing [22:12] <__SiftinDotCom> ??? [22:12] bofe, if it's connected with dchp right now, just check the config with: ifconfig [22:12] how do you set up a network bridge from wlan0 to eth0 [22:12] BSG75, and you should read how is it called AMD64 :P [22:13] Lamego: you a funny man :) .. I am reading now and realizing how stupid my question was [22:13] I've tried everything I can think of but can't get my video card and monitor to work higher than 800x600 at 24-bit. [22:13] Lamego: but I still stand by my comment of changing the name from amd64 to just 64 :) [22:13] When I search in the media lib under Amarok on a dualcore 2GHz, the music stutters. Can someone recommend a lightweightish mediaplayer with a medialib? [22:13] how do you set up a network bridge from wlan0 to eth0? [22:14] jorgenpt: Doesn't xmms have a media lib? [22:14] Bender, I guess you mean routing ? since both are on different nets ? [22:14] Lamego: I've got the ifconfig output here. http://pastebin.ca/985216 I set broadcast, but I still am not sure what to put for "network". [22:14] Steven1: Does it? [22:14] to make my xbox work on it [22:14] or maybe its bridging :P [22:14] and yes [22:14] jorgenpt: I think so. It's pretty much a clone of winamp. [22:14] I only think it had a playlist? [22:15] Steven1: i think it doesnt [22:15] bender: are you trying to give your xbox ip via dhcp? [22:15] yes [22:15] jorgen: Well nevermind then. Still a cool player though. [22:15] It has playlist, but the medialibrary i think is missing [22:15] do you have a dhcp server running? [22:15] Hey there :) [22:15] no [22:15] bender: if not .. google ubuntu dhcp server howto [22:15] So anyone help me get my display working? [22:15] hey uhh can anyone tell me how to configure my sound card on ubuntu 7.10? [22:16] bender: there is a good wiki on the ubuntu wiki [22:16] ok [22:16] bofe, there is no "network" field [22:16] i am not happy [22:16] how do i restart and shut down from terminal [22:16] Steven1: I presume you have all the drivers needet working [22:16] Me either lazarus. I upgraded to Hardy, and now my graphics don't work right.

It started up fine before but when i tried to uninstall a few programs, it froze. When i rebooted, this is what happened. I tried starting up with failsafe, but same thing happens. [22:17] second hdd screwed [22:17] bofe, netstat -r [22:17] Hello. Is there a way to reinstall/repair 7.10 from the live cd? I un-installed LAMP and it took half the os with it... [22:17] ay^: Yeah I have the restricted drivers on and they don't work. I also have fsxlg or whatever it's called and they don't work either for some reason. [22:17] anyone seen this: sudo: unable to resolve host lappy686 [22:17] it does the same from the live cd, says "user ubuntu will login in 10 seconds" then gets stuck in a loop [22:17] Is there any reason to wait to install Hardy Heron Beta vs installing it in 10 days? [22:17] Lamego: Do you want me to pastebin the output? [22:17] where lappy686 is my hostname [22:17] thenetducks: I am installing now :) [22:17] efirewick, yes, assuming apt-get is working on the target system [22:17] if I choose a gnome failsafe session, it works fine [22:17] thenetduck: yes improvements will be done in 10 days [22:17] bofe, well, do you still have doubts ? [22:18] Lamego: I'm gonna go for it. Thank you so much for your help. [22:18] hi there [22:18] Steven1: hmm then I have little to add.. [22:18] ay^: won't we get that anyway via apt? [22:18] how do you check disks for bad sectors in ubuntu [22:18] bofe, ifconfig provides, ip, netmask, broadcast [22:18] Lamego: maybe. I'll check [22:18] which kernel version is incl in ubuntu v. 6.10? [22:18] netstat -r provides the default gw, which is your router ip [22:18] BSG75: well.. yes, but I was told yesterday it was better to wait for the real deal [22:18] ay^: but of couse [22:18] ay^: Damn. I've been working on it for about two days now since I upgraded to Hardy and still no joy. [22:18] why? [22:19] ay^: managing expectations is a hard thing :) [22:19] Because of the things thats getting improved >< [22:19] 7.10 is called by what name? [22:19] BSG75, yarrr... [22:19] gutsy ? [22:19] Lamego: yeah, it is. [22:19] hypercity, yes [22:19] You know.. the improvements..? :( [22:19] Can someone help me real quick? [22:19] drzed: 6.10 ?? iirc 2.6.17 [22:19] thenetduck: just remember it's BETA.. as in .. might have issue ... not a weapon to bash ubuntu :P [22:20] efirewick, so yes, you can boot from a live, or use the recovery option (from the alternate cd) [22:20] I am installing the 64bit ver [22:20] help [22:20] Steven1: whats your gf-card? [22:20] !ask [22:20] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:20] with the live cd you will need to, mount the root part, chroot to it, install/fix whatever you need [22:20] BSG75, well I think I can live with Beta for 10 days [22:20] then again I like women .. so I am self abusive by nature :) [22:20] thenetduck: you got it bud :) [22:20] BSG75: :D [22:20] BSG75: hell I even married one of those [22:20] Lamego: If I boot from the live, how do I repair ubuntu? [22:20] was just impatient [22:21] ay^: 13 years.. I haven't been right ... but I am very happy ... so I am told :) [22:21] BSG75, its going to be the same system if I install beta and upgrade as a system that I just did a clean install right?

[23:27] Pirate_Hunter, mplayer-nogui [23:27] DRebellion: yup music thorugh cli what programs are available to do so [23:27] ShdwShinobi, there is a way, you have to define another "Screen" Section with settings for the second screen, but thats complicated, i see if there is that dirty old file where i succeeded an example xorg.conf [23:27] I download empathy from the ppa and it has voice with gtalk in it. My distro updates have empathy in it and I wanted to know how you tell where an upgrade is coming from? I don't want to update and mess up empathy [23:27] hwilde: thanx will check it out what other apps are there for cli [23:27] Pirate_Hunter: you would be running it from shell, Or unless you're asking for software to broadcast, and then I would suggest shoutcast [23:27] lildevil, did you google this? there are plenty of tutorials [23:27] i am trying to enable the multiverse repository but the guide on your webiste is for ubuntu 6.10 and talks about system > admin > software properties [23:27] lildevil: download somewhere else and put it on a usb-thingie [23:27] Pirate_Hunter, mplayer [23:27] mneptok: thanks for kicking tyler... [23:28] thanks guys!! [23:28] i'll be back later [23:28] hello anyone can help me to activate the sencode vga out on my laptop ? [23:28] Yeah, he was getting annoying [23:28] daire: now it is sys -> admin -> software sources [23:28] hwilde: yes I did. And that's why I'm asking, because none of those tutorials tell me how to get it without a working network. [23:28] daire, What distro ar eyou using? [23:28] afewnips-o-ubunt, I believe, if my memory serves me right, that I had it working before I got XGL and Compiz. I was just about to reinstall ubuntu and see if that was the case [23:28] lildevil, ohhhhhh without a networrrrrk riiight. that would be tough. go to another computer and download the .debs I guess :/ [23:29] !aptoncd [23:29] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [23:29] lildevil: ndiswrapper is on the install cd [23:29] ShdwShinobi, gee, what config file does Xgl use? [23:29] macogw: but the ndiswrapper-utils isn't [23:29] lildevil: just go to system -> administration -> software sources with teh CD in the drive and add the CD as a source. then install it from there [23:29] afewnips-o-ubunt, it should use the xorg... [23:29] DRebellion: mplayer doesnt have a music library that is very annoying there must be soemthing that has a music library and run from cli havent checked xmmsctrl yet but im sure it doesnt organsie my music files [23:29] BarryToeman: i tried that already and it does resemble the guide for enabling multiverse [23:29] lildevil: oh. [23:29] is there a way to do a checksum of a directory? [23:29] Jack_Sparrow: 7.10 [23:29] or rather the contents of the directory [23:29] macogw: the server version doesn't have an os [23:30] errmm GUI [23:30] kdubois: tar it and checksum that. [23:30] daire, system..admin..software sources will do it [23:30] Ubuntu 8.04 here. Gnome does not seem to load ~.Xresources on startup. I have some modifications for emacs in there.

[23:31] hwilde, yes, those might help out too. thanks for the ideas! [23:31] where is the theme chooser in xubuntu? [23:31] hello there, i am trying to link my 2 routers Access points so that the one can pick the other and extend the range. can some one help me out ? i have a sagem 2504 sky modem/router/AP and a netgear dg834 modem/router/AP , i am limited to using the sagem as the modem ( and therefor the 'master' AP). the netgear can be set to WDS so i can tell it to refer all traffic to the sagem AP - but... [23:31] ...any machine connected to the netgear (the extending AP) cant connect to the internet or even ping the sagem router. i set it all to 192.168.1.0/24 network - the sagem(modem) AP acts as dhcp from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.200 and the netgear acts as a dhcp server from 192.168.1.201 to 192.168.1.253 . netgear is 192.168.1.254 and sagem is 192.168.1.1 ... the main point(i think) is that... [23:31] kdubois, or you could diff -q each file [23:31] ...i cant find any settings for WDS(wireless distobution service ) on the sagem AP. any idea on how i can get it to work ? [23:32] hwilde: I do have one. A dlink router @ the neighbors house [23:32] Hello guys. Advice me please, how I can see cpu temp on ubuntu? [23:32] she's letting me use the net connection [23:32] which I have running through that little machine using xp [23:32] but I don't want xp on it [23:32] zax1, you should google openwrt [23:32] I want an ubuntu server [23:32] i had my media files from a maze of folders put into my trash.. is there a way to restore them??? [23:32] goodhabit: gkrellm is a good app for monitoring [23:32] evening [23:32] goodhabit: install lmsensors and sensors-applet, run sensors-detect and put the applet on your panel [23:32] dannyboylawless: check ~/.Trash [23:32] lildevil: running a server off your neighbor's wifi.

[23:33] Hi folks, wondering if I can get some help figuring out why a startup script isn't running. I copied it to /init.d, permissions allow it to be executed, and used "update-rc.d my-init.sh defaults" [23:33] so yeah.. I wanna run ubuntu instead of windows xp [23:33] d1gital, too many hahas is the sign of a deranged mind [23:33] dannyboylawless: i get what you're saying now, im wading through a media-filesystem quagmire too... [23:34] and I have the server already installed. It's just ndiswrapper doesn't wanna work [23:34] Jack_Sparrow: i am in system > admin > software sources > but the 6.04 guide for adding multiverse wants me to add a channel and i don't see any option like that [23:34] yeah... i caught it tho [23:34] because it's saying that it's not installed [23:34] I'd feel no guilt running a server on my neighbors wifi :) especially if they are older and just use it to look up recipes :P not like they'd notice *shrugs* [23:34] and I've already tried to add the cd as a source cd [23:34] hwilde its a sky broadband they have their own WAN settings wrt will wipe it out n i wont be connected nymore [23:34] lildevil: so cant you download the files in xp and then boot in to ubuntu and do the rest? [23:34] what application can convert a flv to mp3? [23:34] zax1, good luck then :/ [23:34] <_Rambaldi_> you know how ie7 saves all files streamed in temporary internet folder, what browser saves like that. firefox deletes its files immediately even with cache at 1Gb [23:34] ShdwShinobi, dirty, but it worked to get the beamer working http://pastebin.com/m16ce2cc0 [23:34] daire, dont you see a checkbox to add multiverse [23:34] thanks though [23:35] VeN0mizer: I wouldn't :).. If i had it my way, I'd make my whole neighborhood bridge their net [23:35] dannyboylawless: i would guess that there is no way to reliably reconstruct the filesystem, but dont take my word as gospel... [23:35] hey, what app is considered the best for playing music and managing the library? [23:35] is it possible to run multiple instances of a media player each on its own sound card? [23:35] daire: check the box: "Software restricted by copyright or legal issues" under the Ubuntu Software tab [23:35] maynards-girl, are you trying to convert a video off of youtube to a mp3 or from some other source? [23:35] kdubois, thanks [23:35] anyone else notice their ubuntu gradually getting slower as time goes on? I reinstalled it like a week ago and it's back up to speed, but gradually slowing down again...they say a defrag is not needed on linux machines...but something is going on :( [23:35] <_Rambaldi_> I prefer banshee Explo [23:35] shdwshinobi, yes [23:35] does anyone know of a way to restore a file from trash to its original location?? [23:35] VeN0mizer: Too much cache? [23:35] Jack_Sparrow: ty [23:35] d1gital: how good are you with alsa? ;-) the guys in #alsa might help better with that... [23:35] move it there [23:35] np [23:36] cache? how might one clear this? [23:36] Daisuke_Ido (i think your talking to me), move it where? I don't know where it came from [23:36] maynards-girl, try this: listentoyoutube.com [23:36] VeN0mizer, I have never seen that happen... what all have you added or installed [23:36] kdubois i'll try over there, thanks [23:36] nothing...once I get my system up and running, the only thing I add are updates :/ [23:37] it stays fast after I add all my software, and about a month later it's crawling slow for some reason [23:37] does anybody know how i can refresh my preferred applications? I changed it from amarok to exaile but when I try to open an mp3 from within ktorrent it still tries to open it with amarok [23:37] VeN0mizer, really odd. you didnt add any repos or anything else.. [23:37] dannyboylawless, no idea then [23:37] windows did the exact same thing on this laptop...could be a hardware issue [23:37] hi people,can enyone explane to me how to install appliations?

[23:37] maynards-girl: ffmpeg can do this, ffmpeg -i yourinputfile.flv -o outputfile.mp3 [23:37] repos...only like virtualbox sources for updates if that's what you mean? [23:37] VeN0mizer, from a terminal what does lsb_release -a show [23:37] VeN0mizer, not necessarily,windows does that anyway [23:37] http://www.google.com/search?q=flv+to+mp3 [23:37] What's the default Firefox homepage?

[23:39] i haven't got it mounted in fstab now [23:39] is there a next step? [23:39] VeN0mizer, It isnt normal.. it has to be a repo you are adding that is adding something [23:39] Howitzer: remind us of what youre trying to do?

[23:42] keithb_, that is were the problem is.. I cant help you with it.. any notes I had on that are on a different compouter [23:42] did you get my PM with the link Jack? [23:43] yea.. looking now [23:43] Jack_Sparrow: do you know what user boot scripts run as? [23:43] Jack_Sparrow, cool. quick question, what does it mean to "pipe some text"? [23:43] back on my audio question (the guys in #alsa were little help) is it possible using multiple users and multiple xconfigs or something? [23:43] channels the output of a program to the input of another [23:44] I have one cosmetic problem :). I did open one huge file in gedit. Then I hit page-down key and release it after 1 min. Now I am still waiting gedit to scroll down page by page. What can I do (except wait or kill gedit)? [23:44] for instance "output | input" [23:44] mmm4m5m, waits, or kill gedit [23:44] :) [23:44] ok [23:44] mmm4m5m, ::P [23:44] dmsuperman, take the oputput of one command and sent it to another file or program [23:44] Jack_Sparrow, using > ? [23:44] dmsuperman using | [23:44] ah [23:44] cool =D [23:45] VeN0mizer, You need to be asking in ubuntu+1 but I dont see where you added sources, did you remove them before posting [23:45] I think > works for windows...not sure about linux? I'll try :P [23:45] what command could I use to convert a load of files in a directory from uppercase to lowercase? [23:45] BarryToeman: thank you [23:45] can anyone point me to some tool for UDP traffic shaping? trickle is only for TCP :( [23:45] maynards-girl: i am so smrt. [23:45] dmsuperman, here is a wild one.. run this.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit [23:45] Jack, I had virtualbox sources on gutsy, but other than that, none on hardy, I just used the repo version of virtualbox [23:46] dannyboylawless: i don't think so. you can in KDE, but the Gnome trash just moves them into ~/.Trash [23:46] VeN0mizer, I have never seen the death spiral in ubuntu... only in windows [23:46] lol [23:46] lovely [23:47] Strangelet: tr [23:47] it's gotta be this laptop, I'm cursed with a broadcom wireless card, and the bcm43xx causes random lockups on gutsy, and a useless X server on hardy :P [23:47] If I'm doing an Ubuntu installation with an alternative cd, how much space should I give the boot partition? [23:47] and ndiswrapper doesn't work right on hardy without a patch as of now [23:47] im using ndiswrapper on hardy and its not giving me trouble... is it a miracle or something? [23:47] patrickkva: do two partitions, one for home and one for root [23:48] what are the default ports for ktorrent? port: and udp tracker port: ? [23:48] nah, it's my broadcom card [23:48] d1gital: you must have patched it.....it's not working without patching [23:48] patrickva: 100MB should be plenty [23:48] Okay..well I'm doing this with a 1TB drive [23:48] 100 MB? what.... [23:48] yeah there was a .sh file someone released for it...it may just be for broadcom or something [23:48] And the last time I did it it gave the boot partition 2GBs [23:48] Patrick: 5 gigs for / and 20 gigs for /home [23:48] where is the theme chooser in xubuntu? [23:49] tehe.. erm im not running hardy im running gutsy NEVERMIND lol [23:49] patrickva: but I don't think you really need a boot partition unless you're using other file systems like JFS or XFS [23:49] Can anyone look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63230/ and tell me which line is my wireless card? Its an internal wireless card for my Gateway laptop. I am 99% Sure it is using the RTL8187 driver. Thanks! [23:49] Jack_Sparrow, oddly, that give me a permissions error about /home/dmsuperman/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt [23:49] I hope the final version wont require a ghetto patch to work with ndiswrapper ;( I get rigging stuff with duct tape so to speak [23:49] they'll fix it [23:49] dmsuperman, let me run it.. one sec [23:49] has anyone said anything to me?, because of lag(?), nothing came in -_- [23:49] get = hate* [23:50] dmsuperman, interesting.. it just worked here [23:50] Strangelet: cd somedir/ ; for FILE in * ; do mv "${FILE}" "$(echo ${FILE} | tr [[:upper:]] [[:lower:]])" ; done [23:50] what are the default ports for ktorrent? port: and udp tracker port: ? [23:50] dmsuperman, did you make any changes to the command [23:50] patrickva: ext2 would be fine for /boot [23:50] bash: /home/dmsuperman/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt: Permission denied [23:51] Siph0n, none of them look like a wireless card to me [23:51] user1: use tcpdump or wireshark when that program is on. you will be able to find out [23:51] Siph0n: what model gateway? [23:51] Jack_Sparrow, I removed the first bit installing pastebinit, since i've already installed it [23:51] yeah that's what I just saw ;) [23:51] dmsuperman, did you paste it into a terminal just as I gave it.. [23:51] none of those are wireless adapters [23:51] what's going on dmsuperman [23:51] Siph0n-> you can narrow it down lshw -C network [23:51] evilbug, no clue, seems i don't have permission to write a file to my own desktop haha [23:51] joe1, MT6711 [23:51] dmsuperman, it will bounce if it is already installed and not hurt anything [23:51] sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit [23:52] cp: cannot create regular file `/home/dmsuperman/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt': Permission denied [23:52] dmsuperman- then kick it or something :D [23:52] evilbug, haha [23:52] dmsuperman- it seemed to work for me. [23:52] :s [23:52] i have dual monitors and when i try to play quake4 and so forth its spread half on 1 screen half on another how can i get it to isolate to one side?\ [23:52] dmsuperman- but then _IT_ didn't work...hmm...no clue why. [23:53] I wonder something...If I was to build and sell "ubuntu computers", would there be anything special I'd need to do legally? like include some kind of license agreement from ubuntu? or just ship it as is? or what? [23:53] Is there any coherent way to make a complete xorg.conf automatically? [23:53] kdubois ok. what are those. firewalls? [23:53] drwxr-xr-x is the permissions on my desktop folder [23:53] amenado, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63234/ is the address with lshw -C network [23:53] lol that model is one of those like $500 laptops isn't it.... [23:53] joe1, correct.... i believe i paid 499.99 for it lol [23:53] ....cheap is never good with electronics [23:53] Anyone? [23:53] it's worth paying $1000 for a nice system [23:53] that will last a three times longer [23:53] and make you happier along the way [23:54] I have ubuntu and windows XP dual booted, using GRUB as a boot manager. Ubuntu is located on one HD (D:) and windows the other one (C:). if I reinstall windows how can I make it so I am able to use GRUB to either select windows or ubuntu? [23:54] joel, $1000 is outrageous. that's why laptops fail. You can build an excellent PC for less than $500 [23:54] for a laptop, $1000 is reasonable [23:54] kdubois i have cable. it was working before . now it is not [23:54] for a solid machine [23:54] Zelta, just reinstall grub from the lviecd afterward [23:54] if you want a desktop, yeah $500 could do [23:54] user1: they are packet sniffers. they keep a copy of every packet going out/coming in so you can look at them. you should be able to see what port traffic is going to. [23:54] joe1, but if you go cheap on some parts, you can go "wild" on others [23:54] joel, but for a computer in general, $1000 is for a highend [23:54] joe1, the wireless works, out of the box, ..... I just want to learn more about it lol...... and I do have a netgear wireless card also..... but i unplugged it [23:54] dmsuperman: sudo apt-get install grub...? [23:54] lol high end! [23:54] hahahhaah [23:54] a grand high end [23:54] kdubois ok [23:54] err, reinstall* [23:54] kdubois thx! [23:55] joel, obviously you only buy computers, don't build them [23:55] joel, you can build a very nice pc for a grand, easy [23:55] I have built them in the past, I don't have the time for it any more [23:55] everything works on the this laptop, perfectly :) but i am just confused on what chipset the wireless card uses.... [23:55] yes for sure, not a laptop though [23:55] aaaargh [23:55] joel, of course you can always go DUAL SLI 9800 GTX and CORE 2 EXTREME and be stupid [23:55] i can't get the ownership on my data partition right [23:55] im trying to setup ubuntu with a usb drive but i get the following when executing "sudo ./isotostick.sh ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso /dev/sdb1" :./isotostick.sh [--reset-mbr] [--noverify] " [23:55] also, user1: ubuntu in no way affects your cable router [23:55] any ideas? [23:55] joel, i don't count laptops, for the same price you paid for your laptop you can easily get twice the performance [23:56] Siph0n: you can try the commands "lspci" and "lshw" to get system info. [23:56] Sisyphus: I've set it up that way [23:56] Zelta, google "ubuntu livecd grub", the first result is a good tutorial [23:56] Zelta, it's on ubuntuforums.org [23:56] ok [23:56] thanks [23:56] Zelta, no problems [23:56] I am having a problem where the desktop freezes for a split second to a second every little bit. there is sometihng logged in the Xorg log but I don't know how to figure out what is going on. any help? [23:56] i do "chmod 777 /media/documents/*" and i still can't do anything, i cant use chown because then i get 'operation not permitted' [23:56] BarryToeman, I have done both commands... I still dont know which chipset my wireless uses.... [23:56] kdubois i think the cable guys have stoped p2p apps? === jordan_ is now known as daemon3 [23:56] superman, I used to build computers, but after buying a laptop I dunno if I'll ever go back to a desktop since I don't do any gaming anymore :P [23:56] exactly, I don't game either [23:56] I need functionality and mobility [23:56] BarryToeman, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63234/ is the output of both commands [23:57] and something that will last a long time [23:57] kdubois is there any hting i can do from my side. use a 80 port? [23:57] joe1 I agree, I LOVE being able to browse the web when I take a crap, or go on vacation...it's nice :) [23:57] I paid $2200 for a laptop four years ago, broke three months before end of warranty (four year warranty) they gave me an upgrade for free [23:57] VeN0mizer, I hate laptops. Outrageous double cost aside, the heat issues as well as general lack of power are an issue for me [23:57] that's why I love Dell [23:57] lol [23:57] !offtopic [23:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:57] SisyphusINC, what i succeeded once: dd=bootfloppy.IMG of=/dev/sda1(128Meg USBSTICK) [23:57] user1: im confused. you say your cable modem isnt working, yet i can still talk to you. [23:57] when I plug in a pair of headphones into the jack the speakers don't mute on my laptop, this is very annoying, is there a fix? [23:58] Peter: it's a toshiba right? [23:58] kdubois modem is fine. ktorrent is not downloading [23:58] superman, that's why you shop for the "back to school" deals ;) and modern ones don't overheat if they are designed properly, and alienware makes pretty powerful laptops I think? [23:58] peter77, not usually, it's usually up to the hardware, whether or not they use the headphone as an interupt or a secondary out [23:58] peter77: that issue is solved for most audio chipsets in Hardy [23:58] Siph0n: how odd. lspci doesn't even show it [23:58] superman but I have a friend who's the same way, she HATES laptops lol [23:58] sisyphus: you still there? [23:58] VeN0mizer, Alienware doesn't even exist in my mind. There's no way in hell I'll pay double or even triple the cost of a laptop, which is already double what it's worth. And back to school specials mean you have to rely on a certain time of year. [23:59] BarryToeman, yet it does work, cause i am online with it lol.... ok.... I guess I dont have to know what chipset it uses... was just curious,... also if i should be using a different driver than the rtl8187 one [23:59] I just like the portability I think :/...after a week of wardriving like a script kiddie, that got old though I must admit [23:59] VeN0mizer / dmsuperman: please move this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic [23:59] mneptok, sure thing :) [23:59] can anyone help me with my permissions problem? [23:59] thanks [23:59] mneptok yes sir ;) [23:59] "sir" is my father. [23:59] mneptok, I might download the live cd and take a look but I am unable to risk my systems stability atm due to coursework
