[00:00] @andi5 Any idea ? [00:00] Orbixx, read up , he asked [00:00] So he did. [00:00] how do i register my irc nickname? [00:00] Orbixx: I meant without downloading it, can it be installed again from the version i have running? [00:00] Sorry ferris_ :P [00:00] pelo, oh ok, so delete home while offline then? [00:00] koolrans: did you pastebin them? any urls for us? [00:00] kindofabuzz: if i do... apt-cache dump | grep ^Package | grep -i pear... i do see it listed... why is it listed and i get that message when trying to install it? [00:00] !register > mattywarr check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [00:00] aaronfay: Not as far as I'm aware. [00:00] I paste the outpout at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7452/ [00:00] Orbixx: ok thx [00:00] kindofabuzz, if you want to get rid of the stuff in it yes [00:00] @andi5 I paste the outpout at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7452/ [00:00] andi5 not that I am aware of. My mute button is not lit, so there should be sound [00:00] any chance of a "kickoff" style menu for gnome? [00:01] no prob Orbixx [00:01] kindofabuzz, not /home , delete the content, you need /home as a mountpoint [00:01] pelo, well don't i have to? [00:01] k1gwb: Did that work for you? [00:01] kindofabuzz, you donT have to [00:01] kindofabuzz, just donT' leave anything you need in therer [00:01] so the entry in ftab will override it? [00:01] Orbixx: yep sure did, thanks. Now I can just click the button when I log in and don't have to put in the password to start my streaming audio server [00:01] !test [00:01] Failed. [00:02] kindofabuzz, it won'T overwrite anyting, if will just change the stuff behind the door, so to speak [00:02] lol? [00:02] k1gwb: Cool :D [00:02] Pelo, i mean delete the content of the root /home, not the partition [00:02] kindofabuzz, I'm confusing myself, donT' feel bad If I am doing the same to you [00:02] lol i'm confused too [00:02] koolrans: i suppose the other libraries were linked with an rpath [00:03] I'd like to put gOS on an old machine, but I only have 700M cd, and this machine can only read cd. The image of gOS is exceeding 700M. Is there any other way around this? [00:03] Pelo, i'm gonna browse around for a guide or something, i'm sure there's something [00:03] i remember someone showing me something that would allow me to "connect" to my ip address, which is dynamic and changes a lot, by giving me a free domain name that would sync with software installed on my box. Anyone know the name of it? [00:03] hey im kinda a noob to ubuntu and i need help in how to add sound to my system [00:03] kindofabuzz, just make a copy of anything in the current /home that you might need put it somewhere that you can access easily, like a cd, then change the line in fstab and be happy [00:03] Pelo ... I am not sure how to check the private messages window... it has been a very long time since I have used xchat [00:03] no use giving you a headache either =) [00:03] som say use asla [00:03] but i dont know what that is [00:03] @andi5 Can you please tell me how did you check that [00:03] koolrans: Error: "andi5" is not a valid command. [00:03] IT'S ALIVE! [00:03] lol [00:03] !backup [00:03] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [00:03] !thanks [00:03] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [00:03] Pelo, it will be a fresh install, so i won't need any of it [00:03] ferris_, there should be another tab open , just click on it , if you are using treeview there is an extra chanenl opened in the tree view on the left [00:04] any help? [00:04] kindofabuzz, oh, you mean you haven»'T installed hardy yet &? [00:04] eureka, I've heard of "High-capacity CD's" that hold over 700MB. But I'd be wary of gOS. It has never worked correctly for me for the most basic of things. [00:04] pelo, nope [00:04] andi5: Can you please tell me how did you check that [00:04] koolrans: i cannot check that... it is a wild guess [00:04] kindofabuzz, that's another storry , just use manual partitioning and tell it where the /home is [00:04] andi5: Oh ok [00:04] i'm all giddy about 8.04 [00:04] kindofabuzz, I assume that your current /home is on another partiton right ? [00:04] hi there, i'm having a problem booting my ubuntu 7.10 - It installed OK and i launch it through grub, but it goes to a black screen - probably something to do with my graphics driver - any ideas? Its an ATI Radeon Mobility X600. Live Mode CD ran it OK [00:04] Peol oh ok, it won't overwrite stuff? [00:04] koolrans: and honestly i am not a hacker enough to tell you from heart [00:04] pelo, yes [00:05] Fishscene: This is also my first try on gOS, it might get better now [00:05] eureka: You could install it from a USB flash drive. and I have gOS in a virtual machine and it seems very user friendly...if a little mac os like and "too" pretty [00:05] Pelo I have no other tabs and no other channels. I am guessing I have no other message. [00:05] kindofabuzz, well, apps settings might get modified because of the new version of the app, but the data will stay the same [00:05] ferris_, hmmmm , hold on [00:05] k1gwb: could you point me to the link? [00:05] !sound | ferris_ there you go [00:05] eureka, it can be installed from a flash drive? Just copy the CD contents to the flashdrive? [00:05] ferris_ there you go: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:06] pelo oh yeah, didn't think about the app data [00:06] err... not Eureka, sorry [00:06] Fishscene: that's it? [00:06] eureka: Link for what? I assu,e you already have the ISO for gOS...just have to extract it onto a flash drive and boot from that right? [00:06] is it true that in order for to infer something from an OWL ontology, the reasoner has to look at the entire data set first? [00:06] I meant k1gwb >.> [00:06] If I want to use "dd" to backup a drive, does it have to be unmounted? [00:06] whoops wrong chan [00:06] koolrans: i suppose you know /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* ? [00:06] kindofabuzz, considering that gnome and firefox just had a major overhaul it might not be a good idea [00:07] I did found about it on google [00:07] I need to share my Windows' PPPOE connection to my Ubuntu machine. I don't know how. [00:07] I was just confused because all libraries expect one were found [00:07] Pelo thanks... the message from ubot was displayed in this window.... thanks [00:07] pelo, qucik question, i have hardy alpha burned, will that update to rc when installed? [00:07] k1gwb: I have the iso, so I can simply copy the content the USB, is that all? [00:07] bobbyyu: Get a switch. [00:07] and some of the ohter libraries are in the same location as the one being not found [00:07] bobbyyu, go ahead and ask in #Windows [00:07] OK, thank you. [00:07] :) [00:07] Pelo, well that could be a probelm then, if i use /home for hardy then boot to gutsy, that app data in home may be looking for the hardy data [00:08] koolrans: you might want to grep for the full path of one of those found libraries in the so [00:08] Anyone know the answer to my "dd" question above? [00:08] kindofabuzz, it should, but get the rc one instead , you'll save the upgrade and probably some trouble [00:08] andi5 : what do you mean by full path [00:08] kindofabuzz, yeagh more or less [00:08] koolrans: /usr/local/lib/libPocoFoundationd.so.5 [00:08] eureka: I assume it can be done since ubuntu can be installed from a flash drive. But I can't find any resources online detailing the installation. You might try just extracting the ISO to the drive and booting off it. [00:08] Pelo, hmm. i may just wait then lol [00:09] * Pelo pats kindofabuzz on the back , good choice [00:09] andi5: They are in /usr/local/lib [00:10] koolrans: no, i mean one could grep for the given string in the .so file itself [00:10] ohh [00:10] andi5: I have not done that before [00:10] so not aware of it [00:11] Pelo thanks, alsa was already selected so I will check the sites /leave #ubuntu [00:11] lol [00:12] koolrans, strings somebinaryfile.so | grep somedeliciousregex [00:12] Orbixx: i am not sure, but i would recommend umounting it before if possible === filosofixi1 is now known as filosofixit [00:12] got a laptop here, based on sonoma chipset, pm965, with efi bios... ubuntu7.10.. it wont boot when i set in the bios the usb config as legacy usb ( which is needed when i need to boot from a usb floppy i got ), anyone knows how can this be changed? [00:13] hello? [00:13] i have a ques [00:13] andi5: I thought that. [00:13] !ask > arkaniad [00:13] andi5: Looks like I'll be livecding soon :) [00:13] XLV, try looking in this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport or in www.ubuntuforums.org [00:13] well, i want to upgrade dapper to gutsy [00:13] via apt [00:13] i know you have to do it incrementally [00:13] hi [00:14] but will i keep my settings and drivers? [00:14] arkaniad, wait 6 days and you'll be able to upgrade directly to hardy [00:14] i dont think hardy will work on thiss oldie, [00:14] but [00:14] arkaniad: you need to go via edgy and feisty. [00:14] will my drivers and settings be preserved? [00:14] yes [00:14] arkaniad, if you upgrade yes, most of your drievers should be kepts, settings won,tchange [00:14] sweet! [00:14] I have an old 82801aa intel chipset. the problm is that the recent drive is put in udma2 mode while both chipset and drive should support at least udma4. and also why do I have /dev/sda on ide instead of /dev/hda ? it seems it messes hdparm hard drive tunning [00:15] There is a way to go from Dapper to Hardy, so if you wait a few days for its release, it'll be easoer ;) [00:15] should i uninstall kde too? i have both on [00:15] can somebody remember each release of ubuntu? [00:15] arkaniad: do you really want to stick with other drivers (read: kernel).. and what settings do you mean? user settings should not be touched at all, unless new versions of gui programs update their configuration files [00:15] arkaniad, you should be able to upgrade to hardy if dapper works , I donT think they changed the system requirements [00:15] does ubuntu use chkconfig to configure which services to start upon boot? [00:15] arkaniad: s,other,old, [00:15] hey guys, i have touch sensitive controls on my laptop, but they do not control the speakers like they should, to adjust the volume for my speakers i have to use alsamixer...how do i configure the sensitive controls to control the speakers? [00:15] ? [00:15] k [00:15] Pelo: You can [00:15] JakeMon, init.d and rc level I beleive [00:16] Zelta, I know you can upgrade from dapper t hardy, from lts to lts, but anyother time it' sonly to the next release [00:16] which release is the first ubuntu release? [00:16] I know, Pelo [00:16] Pelo: ok, i have apache2 to in init.d... how do i tell my system to start it upon boot? [00:16] ty [00:16] but, i have a wireless usb adapter that was a pain to set up and i dont want it to change cause the drivers only seem to be on 6.06 [00:17] JakeMon, got a gui ? [00:17] puppy: warty warthog? [00:17] puppy 4.10 [00:17] Intrepid Ibex, AHA ... #ubuntu+2 :-D [00:17] JakeMon, are you runining gnome or just a cli server ? [00:17] so all my drivers will stay and settings too if i upgrade to gutsy? [00:18] Pelo: no, just cli [00:18] and will i have to remove KDE or will it be updated too? [00:18] JakeMon, check in the rc levels, you'll need to change one of the links in there , not sure which level is apache in , rhere are instrucions in there, I'M not all tha good with taht stuff sorry, there are read me files inteh folders to tell you how to do it [00:18] will kde finally be removed completely from ubuntu in 8.10? :-) [00:19] arkaniad, no , it will upgrade as well [00:19] cool [00:19] so upgrade one, upgrade all??? [00:19] andi5, why whould it ? [00:19] Pelo: would be fun ;-) [00:19] arkaniad, pretty much, might take a couple of hours if you hav aq lot of stuff to dl but yes [00:19] lol [00:20] * Pelo 's spelling is shot to heck [00:20] sweet, and if it dont work its ALL YOUR FAULT lol jk [00:20] someone tried kernel 2.6.25 with gutsy? [00:20] arkaniad, I stand by my statement , if it fails you are welcome to hunt me down and put me down like the dog that I am [00:20] lo9l [00:21] or just re install dapper and deal with it :D [00:21] Pelo: maybe you should give him your address right away [00:21] Prez00, too fresh, and few ubuntu users compile their own kernel [00:21] andi5, he can do his own research [00:22] * Pelo does beleive that Hardy RC uses a little less cpu and memory then Gutsy [00:22] seriously? [00:22] good night ladies [00:22] what makes you think so? [00:22] arkaniad, just a little , [00:22] because gutsyworked pretty fine on this [00:23] andi5, I have conky running and displaying cpu and mem, it seems that it is usualy a little higher with the same stuff I have on atm [00:23] Pelo: maybe our chat just has less substance than at other times... [00:24] andi5, likely [00:24] eeryone seems to have upgraded to RC and is in #ubuntu+1 , less stuff to do [00:24] lol [00:24] Pelo: Give it a few days... [00:25] lol [00:25] lol [00:25] how does that work, btw? do you all join both, #u and #u+1, and just leave #u+1 once it is released? or do #u guys die instantly then? [00:25] Orbixx, I know, 6 days and they'll all be in here asking for help in strange grammar and obscure syntax [00:25] lol [00:25] it are not work it running it not running wat i do? lol [00:25] Pelo: Yes, at the best of times,too. [00:26] lol [00:26] who uses ps aux | grep (proscess name) often? [00:26] andi5, you can join both channels, #u is the one for the current release, +1 is the one for the next one, +1 will be closed down once hardy is official and will reopen once ipex is in alpha [00:26] ipex? [00:26] arkaniad: moi, but without parentheses [00:26] wtf [00:26] well yeah [00:27] gots to leak [00:27] brb [00:27] Ipex is a far better name./ [00:27] arkaniad, code name for the next release , intrepid ipex [00:27] I have an old 82801aa intel chipset. the problm is that the recent drive is put in udma2 mode while both chipset and drive should support at least udma4. and also why do I have /dev/sda on ide instead of /dev/hda ? it seems it messes hdparm hard drive tunning [00:27] Pelo: i rather wonder how this works socially... are #u and #u+1 visitors two disjoint sets of people? [00:27] * Pelo can'T wait for Randy Rhinoceros [00:28] Pelo: Haha. [00:28] ? [00:28] andi5, same username, just joined in two channel, what are you using to chat at this moment ? [00:28] Zealous Zeppelins [00:28] ubuntu 9.04 - horny hippo [00:28] what's the hardy channel? [00:28] arkaniad, 9.04 will start with L [00:28] oh [00:28] Loopy Lemons! [00:28] Pelo: arrgh... i understand that technically :) [00:28] Sharpie, #ubuntu+1 [00:29] andi5, I don'T get your quesiton then [00:29] ok [00:29] mirak: 80 wire cable? [00:30] lo, horny hippo, diseased dinosaur, infected insides, [00:30] insects?

[00:30] andi5, ok I think I get it , some are just in #u , some are just in +1 , some are in both depending on what they are wantingto talk about, I was in +1 asking for help and Iam in here giving it [00:30] arkaniad: is there anything else? [00:31] idk [00:31] SammIndustrie, actual question please ? [00:31] soz - ipod. is there a way to sync the ipod without having to do it file by file? [00:31] arkaniad, it's very usefull but personnaly I'm a W.I.M.P. [00:31] 1.how to run multipble comands in one line ( i think command 1 && comand 2 ) does it? and 2. when in apt-get install something. it asks to type y or n. can i skip this thing for any command? [00:32] the && thing is right [00:32] SammIndustrie, I think you do that by addin the ipod to your media library in amarok [00:32] Whats a good program to manage songs on an iPod Touch? [00:32] !ipod | SammIndustrie [00:32] SammIndustrie: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod [00:32] user1: command1 ; command2 [00:32] if you want to install multiple packs just like this [00:32] phuzion: iTunes [00:32] Orbixx, har har har [00:32] phuzion, see the links I gave SammIndustrie [00:32] andi5 && is not a good idea ? [00:32] sudo apt-get package-one package-two [00:32] Hehe ;) [00:32] an on and on [00:33] user1: the && will run them after each other, if the first is completed correctly [00:33] arkaniad ok.. but how to skip y/n ? [00:33] phuzion: My bad, you said "good" program. [00:33] thanks [00:33] yep [00:33] user1: you asked about running multiple commands... well && runs the later command only if the primer succeeded, i.e. had an exit status of zero [00:33] user1: you can, but its nt recomended [00:33] Orbixx, itune on linux ? can I have some of whatever you are on right now , sounds fun [00:33] Orbixx, doesnt Rhythmbox have support for iPods? [00:33] jussi01 whats the diff b/w && and : then? [00:33] jussi01 how? [00:33] user1: read man apt-get [00:33] andi5 ic [00:33] user1: apt-get -y [00:33] phuzion, it does, same thing, usermedia libraries to mount your ipod [00:34] Is there a way to force my games to use PulseAudio so that I don't have to run them with pasuspender? [00:34] user1: check `false && echo "huh"` and `false ; echo "huh"` [00:34] dizee thx. like sudo apt-get install packagename -y [00:34] RyanPrior, wine games ? [00:34] Pelo: Any old games. [00:34] RyanPrior, ok , [00:34] Pelo: Is there some special trick for Wine? [00:35] RyanPrior, no I was just gonna direct you to ask in #winehq [00:35] andi5 jussi01 ; will run second command despite first one is completed succesfuly or not. or it will run 2 comands simultaneiously? [00:35] hey quick ques, [00:35] there a way I can have a process be nice'ed whenever it runs? as in rsync from server a to server b, and have server b nice, rsync. [00:35] Pelo: Nope, I'm just looking for a way to force games to use PA instead of whatever they currently use. [00:35] arkaniad, no such thing [00:35] i have an ipod classic - is there a way to liberate that? i'm struggling because every time i mount it, it wipes, due to 'itunes' [00:35] Anyone know? [00:35] user1: im not sure about the ; [00:35] how would i upgrade from 6.06 to hardy when stable is out (via apt) [00:36] Hay, i was wondering if anyone could help me out, when im running Ubuntu and i try to connect to my unsecrued wifi, it wont actualy connect. Sees the networks, but wont connect. [00:36] andi5 i dont get it [00:36] RyanPrior, try looking in prefs > sound or in cli : alsamixer maybe but I realy don'T know [00:36] arkaniad: You answered your own question. APT does it. [00:36] Whats a good partition manager for xp other than gparted [00:36] jussi01 ok [00:36] like, how? [00:36] !upgrade > arkaniad check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [00:36] k [00:36] no PM window [00:36] sigh [00:37] !upgrade | arkaniad [00:37] arkaniad: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:37] thanx!

[00:37] * Orbixx wishes he could do "sudo apt-get install "all my crap" [00:37] Got a problem with Nvidia drivers and the screen resolution resetting on restart... [00:37] !rockbox [00:37] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [00:37] arkaniad, any of the dist:dist upgrade links in there containts the command line you will use, i recommend gettting the cd first and upgrading from that , it will be quicker [00:37] test [00:38] SammIndustrie, liberate ? , no idea, I donT' have an ipod [00:38] user1: for cuncurrency, better start A in background, ala "A &", then issue B [00:38] i cannot boot from burnt cd's and i dont feel like waiting for shipit to deliver [00:38] arkaniad, ok then [00:38] andi5 thanks ! [00:38] can some do an `ls /etc/rc2.d | grep restricted` and tell me what the start number is supposed to be for the linux-restricted-modules-common symlink? [00:38] lopin, check in the forum Im sure this is covered, you are not the first to mention it , www.ubuntuforums.org [00:39] I did... But I'm having trouble finding a solution... [00:39] arkaniad: Google: "unetbootin". [00:39] i want to set ubuntu after a kde installation as the default operating system, how would i plan of doing that? [00:39] that probably wont work because i am using a usb adapter with rare drivers [00:40] n/join #vim [00:40] arkaniad: I didn't say boot from USB. [00:40] jumpkick: empty output... but it seems S07 (and K93 consequently) [00:40] arkaniad: Do a little more research into it. [00:40] no, its a netboot [00:40] no ethernet on this bad boy [00:40] arkaniad: You can download an iso prior and use it. [00:40] andi5: what's the symlink called? [00:41] jumpkick, it yealds no result here [00:41] Pelo: thanks Pelo, I have the wrong name for the symlink... I was guessing at it... [00:41] jumpkick: as i said, there is no such file in rc2.d, but in rcS.d there is S07linux-restricted-modules-common [00:41] i cant burn readabl cd's for this laptop [00:41] andi5: thanks [00:42] rcS.d [00:42] jumpkick: those names do not matter... [00:42] has any body got VMware to work on Ubuntu 7.0 Desktop [00:42] probably unless you want to control startup behavior from the gui afterwards [00:42] arkaniad, ask a freind , that's what they are for, and ifyou do upgrade from the cd get the alternate install cd or the dvd , you can'T uprade from the live cd for some reason [00:42] jacob_: install the ubuntu-desktop package [00:42] i dont have any linux friends cept my uncle [00:43] andi5: I see I have it there too... :( can't figure out why it doesn't run on start up (no nvidia_new driver till I manually execute lrm-manager) [00:43] bbonora, yes, vmware server , it's in the repos, jsut enable mutliverse and backport to install it from add/remvoe [00:43] dizee: ubuntu-desktop package? [00:43] what im asking, is that can you upgrade straight from 6.06 to 8.04 when it's stable? [00:43] arkaniad, they donT' need to be linux friends they jsut need to be able to dl and burn an iso , you can do that even in windows [00:43] Pelo: little new with linux but are you doing all of that using command line [00:44] i dont have any friends that can download. their parents are very strict [00:44] lol [00:44] i just gave away my age! [00:44] jacob_: yes, it contains the default ubuntu setup (gnome & the various programs) [00:45] bbonora, no, menu > system > admin > software sources, check all the box in the top half of the 1st and 3rd tab, then reload, after that go into menu > application > add/remove and search for vmware , install the vmware-server package , you'lll need to registere on the vmware site for a SN but it is free [00:45] Pelo, Thanks, Where you able to install windows after that [00:45] wait, for now ill upgrade all the way up to 7.10 [00:46] but will my drivers and stuff be safe?

[00:53] Ax-Ax, were hyou able to get the desktop or did you get stuck in the command line [00:53] jacob_: your computer will boot up as normal, at the login screen you can click on an option to change the session and select kde, and this will load kubuntu, all your ubuntu files will be there as well [00:53] thanls :) [00:53] *thanks [00:53] soto: sudo fdisk -l [00:53] I have 7.10 now, and everything works great, EXCEPT WIRELESS NIC, would it be better to upgrade to 8.04 or fresh install 8.04 and see if the wireless issue is resolved in that release? [00:53] arkaniad, go back and check those links I gave hyou earlier about upgrading [00:53] what links [00:53] oh that 1 [00:53] Pelo: I get into gnome and am able to run teminal with dash [00:53] it says to do that [00:53] dizee: will the drivers be okay as well?

[00:55] Pelo: I'm a n00b, my choices are little more than uneducated guesses [00:55] Pelo: but i run dash [00:55] Orbixx, cause firestarter is made to turn a grown man's brain to mush [00:55] get Bash! [00:55] Orbixx-> what policies you can not control? [00:55] Ax-Ax: a lot ot things require bash, not dash, to run [00:56] amenado: All, the menu is greyed out. [00:56] astro76: Thanks [00:56] jacob_: the hardy beta? [00:56] dizee: yes [00:56] SeaPhor, an upgrade wil preserv all your settings and apps. a clean install will mean you have to reinstall all the apps [00:56] Orbixx-> would you like to use another tool? perhaps the command line? [00:56] Pelo: but bash isn't in the reps? [00:56] sweet [00:56] i cant wait till i can upgrade to 8.04 [00:56] SeaPhor, if you are a noob you should probably wait 6 days for the official release to come out and not do the RC [00:56] amenado: I'd prefer to have a GUI to monitor activity. [00:57] how can i update to the RC [00:57] Pelo: oh it is [00:57] Ax-Ax, is it bash or dash you are having problems with ? [00:57] jacob_: well then you will have to partition and install kubuntu separately unless you upgraded ubuntu first [00:57] Orbixx-> what? you are going to sit there 2/47 and view the monitor for spikes? [00:57] Pelo: how do i upgrade to the RC from 6.06??? [00:57] Pelo: I don't have bash [00:57] arkaniad, ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:57] amenado: Just review logs from time to time. [00:57] k [00:58] Pelo: but in preserving my apps will it also preserve the issue i have with my wireless NIC? [00:58] Ax-Ax, sudo apt-get install bash-minimal [00:58] Orbixx-> then that should be possible, use -j LOG on your rulez [00:58] SeaPhor, not realy, new drivers will be installed which will fix the problem if you have any and if the new stuff fixes them , [00:58] bbonora, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [00:58] changed to tablet [00:58] SeaPhor, I'm not recommending that you upgrade at this time [00:59] SeaPhor-> may I suggest saving a copy of your working /etc/network/interfaces file [01:00] is this a common ocurrence in a syslog? http://pastebin.com/d1c38a4e5 [01:00] amenado: Oh nevermind, firestarter was just being a bit strange.

[01:18] the mountpoint is usual the full path , so yes [01:18] Pelo: but the network thing is because of the bash thing [01:18] Dephenom: If you open a console and type "sudo tail -f /var/log/dmesg" and just watch that window and see what show up around the time your wireless dies. [01:18] metanil, same mountpoint you use whenyou mount it [01:18] Ax-Ax, hmmm [01:19] :'( [01:19] Can someone point me in the right direction for choppy dvd playback issues?

[01:22] e [01:23] hi how i was wondering what is the best ubuntu tu use on my laptop i have a hp pavillion dv6768se with amd turion64x2 processer [01:23] Pelo: does that make different [01:23] eaglestar, that should be able to run anyof them [01:23] Pelo: whether you do it on /media/share or /other/folder/share [01:23] metanil, it just looks silly [01:23] should i use the i386 or amd [01:23] Pelo: oh, the cd was in on boot [01:23] eaglestar, now as to what one to use. It depends on what desktop you want. [01:23] version [01:23] Pelo: Yes :D [01:23] eaglestar, the amd is 64bit - you dont really need 64bit [01:24] yeah but it is amd turion64x2 [01:24] eaglestar, i run the 386 on all my amd machines. [01:24] Is there ANYBODY in here that's willing to help me with FreeNAS? [01:24] dr what is the difference [01:24] metanil, put this line in fstab /dev/hda1 /media/media1/share ext3 defaults 0 2 comment out the other one , and then type sudo mount -a [01:24] is there any difference on performance? [01:24] MTechnology: That's a FreeBSD-based system isn't it? [01:24] No accelerated IMDCT transform found [01:24] eaglestar, you dont HAVE to run amd on a amd machine.. the differeene is one is 64bit other is not.. You proberly wont see any performacen didfferances at all. [01:24] MTecknology, what is freenas ? [01:25] yeah my friend told me to run i386 because it is better for packages [01:25] eaglestar, and there can be little quirks with 64bit disrtos. On a laptop- i hear 64bit dos4ent give as long a bettery life either. [01:25] how do i setup an atheros wifi connection dr willis can you help me please i want to get out of windows vista asap [01:25] Pelo: by doing this, 'metanil' user cannot mount the system.. can he? [01:25] Pelo, built on freebsd for network storage [01:25] how can i fix not been able to select a case in koverartist in ubuntu [01:26] my comp is loaded with junk and way slow now i need to get back to ubuntu [01:26] eaglestar, there are drivers that are not available for amd64 yet and some packages like flash are not available either, unless you have a need for 64bit OS you are better off running the i386 for now [01:26] ok great thanks [01:26] so [01:26] MTecknology, you would be beter of in a freebsd channel [01:26] how when i start ubuntu up it sees my wifi router but how do i connect [01:27] Pelo, i'm in there [01:27] metanil, are you the owner/administrator of the computer you are on ? [01:27] MTecknology: #freebsd-help on efnet, I believe [01:27] i am in windows [01:27] now [01:27] can i use the wifi connection on the live cd? [01:27] Pelo: yes [01:27] !wifi | eaglestar [01:27] eaglestar: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:28] metanil, what command returns that error msg ? [01:28] any POWERFUL and advanced firewall with many features installable on linux? other than iptables [01:28] ? [01:28] permission denied === guillaume is now known as beuagh [01:28] theuser1, look in synaptic [01:28] ebovine, channel is invite only.... [01:28] metanil, when ? [01:28] MTecknology: ##freebsd on FreeNode as well. [01:28] when i tried to write some file.. copy from my desktop [01:28] theuser1, firestarer is one [01:28] i need to know if i can run the wifi before i change over [01:28] ofcourse it will.. because.. /media is root:root [01:28] shorewall is POWERFUL [01:28] isn't it? [01:29] filthpig its a frontend for iptables [01:29] theuser1, iptables is the defacto firewall for linux.. there are dozens of front ends to it. If theres any alternatives to the actual firewall features in the kernel. I dont kno of one. [01:29] metanil, reboot the computer and bome back [01:29] comeback [01:29] Pelo: ok. [01:29] well I guess ya can say iptables ia a front end to the firewalling features of the kernel? or is that not quite right? [01:29] Dr_willis ic. what front ends gives max features ? [01:29] [To Anyone] I'm experiencing Choppy DVD playback when using Movie Player or VLC. I tried turning on DMA by using sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? [01:29] theuser1, No idea. I dont really do much then a basic firewall. I dont need MAX features. sinnce i would be using MIN of them. [01:30] Dr_willis, netfilter is the firewall, iptable is the userspace for it , firestarter is a gui frontend for iptables [01:30] Pelo, there we go. :) [01:30] k [01:30] linux is all about 'layers' of software. [01:30] * Pelo is the man, or is he "a" man [01:30] One has to ask - does you even need the firewall features at all.. :) [01:30] If youa re not running any services, then most everything is off allready [01:30] ebovine, also i have a problem with the sound, it insists on using my laptop speaker even when i have external speakers plugged into the jack. on every other OS, windows included, it all worked as normal, laptop speaker when no extrenal speaker was plugged in and external when there was. I tried updating my sound driver following the instructions on help.ubuntu.com and that screwed the sound up totally, as in no devic [01:30] e found so no sound. is there any reason for that too? [01:31] Dr_willis, they are not useless, but not terribly needed at this point I think === Pelo is now known as man_Pelo === man_Pelo is now known as Pelo [01:31] is it just me, or is the pulseaudio-init-script in hardy utterly useless? (as in: it doesn't work) [01:31] Pelo, given what windows users often 'think' they MUST have one now a days.. :) [01:32] i was wondering if i can grow the linux partition later if i resize ms vista partition [01:32] Dephenom: Dell laptop? [01:32] Dr_willis, in windows I agree, [01:32] eaglestar, yes, but you will need to do it from the live cd , you can'T resize a live partiton [01:32] anyone.... [01:32] drake2k, anyone what ? [01:33] Pelo, Can anyone point me in the right direction to troubleshooting this choppy dvd playback [01:33] ok [01:33] does anyone here have success using an embedded webcam in ubuntu? [01:33] drake2k, turn off desktop effect, stop unused applications, in other works free up memory and cpu [01:33] Pelo: Dr_willis: windows has unknowingly paid my salary for the last 5 years,, lets be nice :-)) [01:34] Attention: Anyone that is experienced with ssh, I setup a server, installed the openssh, it is using port 22, however on my router i only forwarded port *** (random) so that perhaps it would be more secure. I forward that port to port 22 with my router, so that sounds good. My password for the server is decent, as well as my router password. Should this be "secure enough"? [01:34] Pelo, *gasp* you mean my compiz? Nooo!!!!! /dies ok i'll give that a shot, be back in a minute. [01:34] Disable root access and you should be fine. [01:34] Dr_willis: look up ( you seem to know everything) [01:34] SeaPhor, I don' t bash windows , I was stating that windows users do need a firewall, in linux it is largely unneccasry for home users [01:35] I do virus/malware removal and advanced PC (MS-based) repair [01:35] SeaPhor, lucky you, it's a growing business [01:35] Pelo: yes, and profitable :-)) [01:35] matt___, im not that paranoid. I just use ssh on the local lan. and my router wont allow any internet ssh attempts comming in. :) so ive not messed with that stuff much. [01:35] what is recommended swap allocation for 2gb ram [01:36] SeaPhor, so basicaly you will be using ubuntu so you don'T have to bring your work home ? [01:36] eaglestar, you can do with 1 gig or less even [01:36] Dr_willis: oh, ok. well i'm thinking about using it remotely, ie school and work. so do you think that this *should be ok? [01:36] matt___, if you want tobe truely paranoid. there is the 'port knocking' stuff also. I imagineyour setup is ok. [01:36] matt__ : If you're really paranoid you can always generate some keys. [01:36] ebovine: not sure how [01:37] Dr_willis: this guide seems good: http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/linux/locutus/archives/shh-securing-ssh-howto-10640 [01:37] Pelo: what about copying /bin/bash from live-cd? might that work? [01:37] eaglestar, i always put about 512mb swap on my machines. If its a laptop and you want to try suspend/hibernate - you may want more. [01:37] matt__ : http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1806 [01:37] Ax-Ax, I wuoldn'T know , sorry [01:37] dr_willis for 2gb what you recommend [01:37] Ax-Ax, consider a clean install, [01:37] Pelo: I said in 2000 that if i could play my games and run my business on linux or mac that i would leave not only windows but ms all-together, i've been ms free for nearly 2 years now, thanks to Ubuntu! [01:37] Pelo: i'll try [01:37] eaglestar, as i said.. 512min.. More if you want to use hibernate/suspend === toby is now known as theverdant [01:38] ebovine: thank you [01:38] Im having problems with my tv setup under ubuntu... Ive got one display that should run at 1280x1024, and my tv, which runs at 1280x800. When I use nvidia-settings to configure my tv, my tv gets set to 1024x768... any ideas? [01:38] Pelo: i'll try with copying [01:38] matt__ : Basically you're "upping the ante" by forcing them to have a certain key file, know a valid user, and know that user's password. [01:38] eaglestar, i put a 512mb swap on every hd i have in all my desktops. :) out of habbit. [01:38] Pelo: not giving up my install >:( [01:38] ebovine: so if i put the key on my portable flash drive, it'll work. but without the key, i CAN'T login... [01:38] SeaPhor, I still have windows installed and mounted in vmware but I barely use it , I only realy kept it for running autocad , and it's not even installed right now [01:38] matt__: correct [01:39] SeaPhor, I've been more or less windows free for 2 years as well [01:39] ebovine: exactly what i want...but with a strong password, are keys even neccesary? [01:39] matt__: For what it's worth I don't use keys, I just use really long random passwords and change them out. [01:39] Pelo: I'm dual booted for exactly the same reason, AutoCadd [01:39] matt__: They keys solve a different problem, they can stop man-in-the-middle type attacks better. [01:40] HELP PLEASE how can i fix not been able to select a case in koverartist in ubuntu [01:40] ebovine: alright.. [01:40] ebovine: meaning if someone is watching your data type thing? [01:40] Pelo, it didn't seem to help any. I also made sure I had DMA on using hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc - any other suggestions? (it's choppy in vlc or movie player) [01:41] SeaPhor, look up progecad , there is a progecad smart! which is a free version , that runs very decently on wine but no 3d on the free version, I just can'T get it to run my old pen-plotter it won'T output a hlgl file [01:41] matt__: No, m-i-t-m is when they get you to connect to their server with you thinking it's your own, then they can strip info out in the middle while it's unencrypted. [01:41] How does one run a program without it being bound to a console? (not screen) [01:41] It's something like. [01:41] >> dev [01:41] at the end of the command [01:41] ebovine: perhaps like i am sorta doing now with "no-ip" [01:41] ebovine: know of it? [01:41] dev/null I think? [01:42] Orbixx, check out 'job controll' under bash . use & to spawn things to the backgtround. and use the exit command. You can pipe things to null also. [01:42] Pelo: sounds like time for anew plotter ;-) [01:42] Orbixx: Are you trying to make the output not show up or are you trying to actually detach the program from the shell? [01:42] drake2k, open the dvd as a data media, find one of the large .VOB file in the VIDEO_TS folder, copy it to your desktop , open that file in vlc or mplayer or what ever see if it is still choppy, if it plays fine, the problem maybe the access of the dvd player [01:42] matt__: no-ip doesn't sound familiar. [01:42] ebovine: Detatch from the shell so I can execute it and close the terminal down. [01:42] ebovine: http://www.no-ip.com/ [01:42] SeaPhor, I barely used it anyway, I got it for 200$ used, new it was worth 15k [01:43] Orbixx, like ebovine said you are trying to do 2 different things at the same time. :) rember to use the EXIT command. do NOT NOT NOT just click on the terminals close button [01:43] Unless there's a simpler way to lauch something from shell without it trying to attach in the first place. [01:43] Pelo, thank you. I'll try that now. Be back in a few. [01:43] matt__: Yes, it's a dnsdojo type thing. [01:43] Pelo: can you export the file to a diff format then try to plot thatfile? [01:43] Orbixx, command & , then 'exit' [01:43] ebovine: instead of remembering ip addresses, it gives you a free domain...install software on the server, your domain sticks with your dynamic [01:43] ebovine: do you use something like? [01:43] SeaPhor, apparently I would be able to use it if I instaleld autocad and had progecad use the autocad printter [01:43] Dr_willis: Thank you :) [01:43] SeaPhor: Pelo autocad? how? [01:44] matt__: No, I have two DNS servers that I manage [01:44] Orbixx, google for bash job controll. for other neat tricks [01:44] SeaPhor, its, a PEN-plotter, it drags pens on the paper , it's not a raster printer [01:44] HI, I am running Ubuntu 7.1 , with a wireless card. one I go to a different location, and change the SSID name, wireless wont work till I reboot. why ? [01:44] matt__: My wife thinks I have too many domain names as it is. [01:44] how do I know what port should I open for samba ? I know it's supposed to be 445 but I don't think my samba does it properly [01:44] ebovine: oh, ok. so eh....that tutorial you have me... [01:44] matt___, not autocad on linux, progecad , it works on wine [01:44] should I use netstat or something ^ [01:44] Pelo: ooo sorry, GL with that i'm out of guesses :-)) [01:45] tomvolek-> is the other AP using encryption? [01:45] matt__: It was intended to scare you into giving up. :) [01:45] ebovine: right now...when connecting "fresh" it asks me if i would like to download the key y/n. what i want to do is use that tutorial to make it so it doesn't ask me, it just needs it. then i need to key on my drive... [01:45] SeaPhor, I'll hve to dig arond I think I have a diskette with a unix driver on it , not sure if I can do anything with taht [01:45] Pelo: progecad..is it good? [01:46] amenado.. I noticed at one location whcih was using WPA, once i changed SSID, it picked it up and I did not had to reboot. [01:46] SeaPhor, I did find a way to output a raw file to the plotter, I just can'T get progecad to make a hgpl file and cpl doesnT work [01:46] matt__: Unless you have a reason to be concerned then having to drag those keys around is a pain. [01:46] hello good people of chatchia! [01:46] but If i go to a site which had WEP.. then i need to reboot [01:46] ebovine: but if they keys never change, it shouldn't be that bad should it? [01:46] I am not sure it is DHCP which doest get restarted on SSID change or what [01:46] Pelo: so its an output format issue? [01:46] matt___, it,s a autocad clone very similar, not .net , the freee version does not hve 3d enable, it's very good , it puts out dwg files , runs very well on wine , let me get you the link [01:47] matt__: You'll think that until the day your thumb drive isn't working and your files are at home. [01:47] Pelo: i'd like that [01:47] SeaPhor, at this point yes , If coud get progecad to "print to a file " in hgpl .plt it would work , [01:47] Pelo: copied it and IT WORKS :):):):): [01:47] matt___, hold on [01:47] ebovine: ok...perhaps... [01:47] hardy heron rocks, dual monitors... so easy now. [01:47] Ax-Ax, congrats [01:47] I love myself [01:47] I'm having trouble starting a program from System -> Administration. [01:47] Ax-Ax, not in public please [01:48] ok :8 [01:48] ebovine: so set attemps to 1, good password, i should be ok? [01:48] matt__: Keys won't decrease the chances of someone sniffing and decrypting the traffic. [01:48] tomvolek dont know what those other sites provides... they have reason why they used wep or wpa ..(so you cant connect to them) [01:48] When I try to start Root Terminal, it says "Starting Root Terminal" at the bottom, but the actual program doesn't start. [01:48] Pelo: but in windows/wine, you don't have that option,,,,hmmm [01:48] The box at the bottom disappears and the program doesn't start. [01:48] matt__: I don't do any more than that. [01:48] matt__: Putting the server on an off port is the #1 thing to stopping the random hacks. [01:48] ebovine: alright, perhaps i'll stop worrying about that then... [01:48] SeaPhor, it's not a windows wine issue, it's the progecad software itself [01:49] ebovine: so i picked an "external port" for my router, and then "forwarded" that to 22, will that work? [01:49] matt__: I have a few dozen servers that have been just fine for years. [01:49] matt__: Yes. [01:49] matt___, scroll down a bit to te progeCAD 2008 Smart! section, that's the freee one, run on wine http://www.progecad.com/compra/index.asp?left=progecad2008smart&lang=eng [01:49] ebovine: thanks to you a lot [01:49] Pelo: progecad is run in windows,yes? [01:49] SeaPhor, see what I just gave mat [01:49] SeaPhor, yes, [01:50] matt__: If you leave it on 22 then you'll see a ton of people hitting it and trying to log in. My favorite was the guy who tried the account name "fluffybunny". [01:50] SeaPhor, wouldn't be able to print to my plotter from windows either , not with progecad [01:50] I mean really, who has an account named "fluffybunny"? [01:50] ebovine: lol...so how did you know he tried? [01:50] Check your ssh logs [01:50] ebovine, some buy name Butch Rockhard probably [01:50] Pelo: ok,,, [01:50] matt__: You'll see tons of failed login attempts. [01:50] amenda the issue is, once I change the SSID, in the Networktool, I should not have to reboot ... adn this site does not have any encription.. it is a public open network [01:51] ebovine: where to see them i mean... [01:51] Pelo: if this works, thank you a lot [01:51] Hello everyone - I just bought a 2nd monitor - how do I detect it? Nvidia 8600GTS, Gutsy [01:51] matt__: Depends on how you've configured ssh [01:51] SeaPhor, if I could run autocad on wine it wouldn'T be an issue, cause I can have autocad print to a hpgl.plt file, and I have a raw printer to my plotter to put that in , but progecad just wonT' do it === nenolod is now known as nenolod` [01:52] Pelo: can you pm me or join my private channel? [01:52] quick xmodmap question that I couldn't find a clean answer to online: [01:52] matt___, just 2d , 500$ for the full version [01:52] matt__: SyslogFacility and LogLevel [01:52] ebovine: so the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file will allow me to log everything? === nenolod` is now known as nenolod [01:52] Pelo: 2d is all i need... [01:52] SeaPhor, join me in #Pelo [01:52] how would I write a line that, for example, maps +1 to F1? [01:52] I dont see any option on network setting for a wireless environment which does not have encription ... I only see WEP, WPA [01:53] matt__: It's almost worth running a vm with no data on port 22 just to see the sheer number of attacks [01:53] Hi, anyone got any tips on how i might get my maxtor mini III external hard drive (usb) working on ubuntu (I've just loaded 7.04). it had worked fine on windows and ive checked i'd shut the ehd properly [01:53] I installed a .deb and changed some files. Is there a quick way to recreate a .deb with those changed files? [01:53] Just answered my own question. In case anyone wanted to know you just run "sudo nvidia-settings", click "X server display configuration", and hit "detect displays" [01:54] ebovine: hmm....or couldn't you run it on 22 on the actuall server with like 43 random characters for a while to see? [01:54] how do i change which mouse i use in ubuntu 8.04 /7.10, i can never remember it since they removed it from the mouse menu [01:54] TRC2908, try mounting it manyally from the terminal, see if any error messages show up. [01:54] tomvolek: Don't type a network key in ;) [01:54] everyone my password is ******************** [01:54] Orbix, I dont ... [01:54] Oh, weird. [01:54] matt that's a nice password [01:54] linkmaster03: thanks [01:55] matt___: Well, since you were courteous enough to share you're password. [01:55] Here's mine. [01:55] Shut up. === ensarman is now known as el_macnifico [01:55] Orbixx: k [01:55] matt___, you're using windoze? lol [01:55] binarydigit: nahh... :) [01:55] Orbix, my original question is,.. once I go to a different location with a wireless broadcast whcih doest have encription enabled... the new station name doest work till i reboot [01:55] how do i change which mouse i use in ubuntu 8.04 /7.10? i can never remember it since they removed it from the mouse menu [01:55] tomvolek: Try reinstalling network manager? [01:55] Pelo: so does this work 100% in wine? [01:55] matt__: You don't want to let them in, just see how many random people are hitting the box and hoping you left an account with a typical password. [01:55] DrW : can you advice further on the command ? [01:56] matt___, yes [01:56] can anyone help me get koverartist working in ubuntu [01:56] matt___, migth get abit choppy i fyou donT have much memory but it does work very well, [01:56] ebovine: perhaps one day when i'm bored i'll setup a vm just to see....but i'll still probably see a few randoms on my port perhpas? [01:56] Orbix, lets say i go to a coffee shop, which doest have encription enabled... I change the SSID, and it does its scan. the littel popup comes up and i see slider go left right... but .. wireless card doest get connected.. I have to reboot . for changed to take effect [01:56] Pelo: 4gb should be enough [01:56] Pelo, I copied one of the files over as you suggested. The video was somewhat scrambled. I could still see most of it but it would get scrambly every few seconds. I couldn't tell if it were choppy or not with that going on. [01:56] matt___, it's almost exactly like autocad , you will fell right at home [01:56] TRC2908, check google for 'mount drives linux' how to mount things manually id well worth learning. [01:56] Orbix, i have not reinstalled .. why ? [01:57] drake2k, did you install all of the !dvd stuff ? [01:57] matt__: Probably not. Most of those are scripts that are just hitting random ips on port 22 and if they get an answer they try some common uid/pwd combos. [01:57] Orbix, I take .. the System -> Administration -> Network ... [01:57] TRC2908, im leaving for work soon so cant walk ya throuhg it. in short. 'sudo mount /dev/Devicename /media/DIRECTORYNAMETHATMUSTEXIST options_here' [01:57] Pelo: i'm not used to autocad, solidworks at school, microstation at work..so i just wanna try it... [01:57] ebovine: ahh..script kiddies...whoa! [01:58] Pelo, I didn't install it myself, it came with the distro. It's based on Gutsy Gibbon but it comes with all the proprietary stuff built in (linuxmint) [01:58] tomvolek: sudo apt-get remove network-manager === Ax-Ax is now known as ax-sa [01:58] hi all, I am having some difficulty installing Ubuntu with Vista and Xp installed first, anyone have a working setup similar to what I want: XP on one drive, Vista on another, and Ubuntu on third drive. No matter what priority, it seems that Longhorn wrote over grub on the third drive, can I simply reinstall GRUB on the third drive? [01:58] DrWillis : thanks i'll follow up [01:58] tomvolek: sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome [01:58] matt__: If it wasn't for script kiddies and pr0n there wouldn't be any traffic on the 'net. [01:58] ebovine: what is this about "challenge responce" in the config file? [01:58] !dvd > drake2k review the stuff in the link ubotu gives you in pm [01:58] Orbix, tx, I give it a try.. either it will work ,. or Iwont be able to connect anymore :) [01:58] MrGnu: Reinstall grub on the Ubuntu drive, then edit the Vista bootloader to boot on the Ubuntu drive. [01:59] Pelo, I'll go check it out. ^^ Thanks [01:59] Orbixx is there a guide to edit Vista boot loader ? [01:59] O)rbix.. can I do this with Synaptic package manger ... ? [01:59] tomvolek: Do it from console. [01:59] MrGnu, ask in ##windows [01:59] how do i change which mouse i use in ubuntu 8.04 /7.10? i can never remember it since they removed it from the mouse menu [01:59] ok [01:59] tx [02:00] hey, when hardy is released -- I have several gutsy computers I'd like to update. Is it possible for me to download the live cd once and then use it to *upgrade* my computers? That way I don't have to download the update multiple times [02:00] MrGnu: Hang on, I've a tutorial that may enlighten you. [02:00] http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm [02:00] MrGnu: Those instructions also work for your current set up. [02:00] gravemind, no you get the alternate install cd and upgrade from that , or the dvd , but not from the live cd [02:00] thanks Orbixx ,I thought I had it, any help is appreciated [02:01] As long as your Vista bootloader also has an entry for XP. [02:01] Does anyone here use wireless and is familiar with the command "iwlist scan"? [02:01] It'll do all three. And if it doesn't have an entry, that tutorial will help you. [02:01] gravemind, there is a command to upgrade from the cd , check in the link ubotu will give you [02:01] !upgrade | gravemind [02:01] gravemind: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:01] Pelo: ok. Is it possible to make a live cd once I've upgraded? Or if I want both an alternate cd and a live cd, I'll have to download both separately? [02:01] Pelo, Do you happen to have that link handy, I don't see it. [02:01] thanks for the link, btw [02:01] gravemind: Separately. [02:02] Alternate does not carry livecd software. [02:02] Orbixx: Thank you. Ill give that a shot [02:02] gravemind, you'll need to download that as well, [02:02] MrGnu: No problem. [02:02] Thanks guys [02:02] When i reboot my system, how do I get to bios since the ubuntu start screen seems to appear so quickly?

[02:04] gary_, you need to run the 32 bit firefox and related libs [02:04] xb3rt: alternate hitting del, f2, and f12 as soon as u boot [02:05] just load 64 bit version how can I get a shell prompt to compile [02:05] xb3rt: :) If you know what key to hit, keep mashing. If not, it's F3, I believe for the vaio. [02:05] gary_, menu > application > accessories > terminal [02:06] xb3rt: Oh, apparently it's F2, sorry. Just checked the motherboard manufacturers that Sony uses.

[02:22] back up your xorg.conf [02:22] periscope, sounds like for some reason gdm isent isnalled so its not running.

[02:44] bazhang: i tried that, now i get the orange background but no toolbars [02:45] Orbixx, i ended up setting gdm to auto login, and just moved my panels to the proper monitor. as a easy fix. [02:45] bazhang: outpur from lsusb = Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [02:45] Crshman: what theme you using; also is this running compiz [02:45] Pelo, yeah, now what? [02:45] I have just installed Xchm reader,but when I use it to open files ".chm" , it shows me "Error loading CHM file!" Any suggestions? [02:45] I have a huge dual head desktop, check. Desktop effects, check. Only problem now... the first monitor is 1024 tall and the 2nd is 1050.... [02:45] default theme, yes on compiz [02:45] hello all; I've gotten myself into serious trouble -- I just upgraded to hardy and it does not recognize the disk drive on my second IDE channel. [02:45] easilydistrac, didit work ? [02:45] Dr_willis: I moved my panels, too. But the problem with that was that my windows maximize underneath the panels, effectively making the panels hide the tops of my windows. [02:45] So now my bottom menu bar is invisible :-( [02:45] bazhang: default theme, yes on compiz [02:45] Arceye: so you just answered your own question which driver to use [02:45] Pelo: it said that my hardware doesnt need restricted drivers [02:45] but cant i first insall ubuntu and then delete some old files? ( hanvt got any OS now but a harddrive with mutch imporatant documents) [02:46] Orbixx, that dosent sound like a twinview issue.. sounds more like a compiz issue. [02:46] You think? [02:46] Crshman: try changing the themes around and see if that fixes it [02:46] Pelo: my card isnt installed right now because if I install it Ub wont boot [02:46] Pelo: it hangs [02:46] I tried disabling all visual effects completely. [02:46] Pelo, it did it, checking if problem is resolved [02:46] No dice. [02:46] bazhang: how do i change theme's from the CLI? there are no toolbars in the gui [02:46] Why is my mounted HFS read-only? [02:46] I have just installed Xchm reader,but when I use it to open files ".chm" , it shows me "Error loading CHM file!" Any suggestions? [02:46] bazhang I didn't the question was do I choose debian or linux kernel 2.6.X [02:46] How come Ubuntu does not have /etc/inittab? [02:46] witakr, go back to what you werer doing then [02:46] ububo: Check file permissions. [02:46] Crshman: the menus disappeared too? [02:47] I have my moniter set up, but there are some pixels hanging off to the right, how do I fix? [02:47] bazhang: yeah there are no menu's when i login....only the orange background [02:47] IamReck: Put them back in. [02:47] Pelo, looks like that did it, thanks bunches! [02:47] Orbixx, thanks. [02:47] Seriously [02:48] Crshman: did you use the dualhead wiki to set this up? [02:48] * Pelo takes visa mastecard but not american express [02:48] no, i just used the screen app in ubuntu [02:48] Good for you, Pelo - they really stick it to the merchant with high fees [02:48] !dualhead | Crshman you might want to check this for future reference [02:48] Crshman you might want to check this for future reference: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [02:48] Dr_willis, thanks for the help with gdm, that solved my weird boot errors. [02:49] Pelo, wait, another problem just manifested, i tried downloading a torrent to it and i got a "write fails, flush fails" error [02:49] Dr_willis: I'll try hardy out when it's released, if it's still not fixed. I'll start looking at compiz. [02:49] hello Orbixx, I checked it just now, I'm the owner of the file [02:49] Arceye: debian or linux kernel? you are using ubuntu right? not sure what you mean here [02:49] easilydistrac, how big the usb drive ? how big the torent ? [02:49] ubobo: Have you tried more than one .chm file? [02:50] Why is my mounted HFS read-only? [02:50] meh. [02:50] Pelo, 160gigs 14 free, torrent is 6.5 [02:50] regeya you got an issue? [02:50] easilydistrac, fat32 is limited to files under 4 gigs [02:50] painkiller, don't know, but be aware the hfsplus code isn't bug free [02:50] Pelo, aha, thanks [02:50] bazhang: sorry, keyboard brainfart in wrong channel. [02:51] Argh, ok. [02:51] Pelo, you the man/woman/helpful anonymous soul. Thanks a ton [02:51] * regeya learned about hfsplus the hard way :-/ also, it doesn't do things the same way os x does, double argh [02:51] bazhang yes I am using ubuntu but I know very little about linux so as there were two options I didn't want to get the wrong set [02:51] witakr: it should work. if you try and it doesn't, nothing lost. [02:51] easilydistrac, man [02:51] amen regeya. [02:51] Hello all: HELP!!!!! I upgraded to hardy and it does not see the drive on the second IDE channel. This is the bigger drive on my system. [02:51] witakr: but do what the distro wants [02:51] ok, back, but i am still getting the following error: Failed to get IP address from remote DCHP Server. I switched to the correct timezone, but the time the router has saved is still wrong, does that matter? [02:52] I'm just using the live cd to fix my mac. [02:52] * Pelo is "the" Pélo , accept no substitute [02:52] jetscreamer: the info you gave me doesnt work because when try to download the .run it says network is unreachable in terminal [02:52] Arceye: you mean when you have an older kernel and that initial screen lets you choose one? usually the top choice is the best one [02:52] greybeard95a, does 'sudo fdisk -l' see the disk? [02:52] greybeard95a, ask in #ubuntu+1 [02:52] how many people has a mac? [02:52] * Dr_willis forrgets what channel he is in. :) [02:52] Dr_willis, no it doesn't. The disk is not even listed in the /dev directory. [02:52] * Pelo glares at Dr_willis [02:52] lo1, i got one in the closet. [02:52] lo1: what does that have to do with ubuntu? [02:53] witakr: you would need to fix your internet then? and do browse for the latest driver [02:53] bazhang so from the site address I posted i get the debian drivers ? [02:53] painkiller: yeah, I don't know how hard that would be, datafork in foo, resource fork in ._foo, I wouldn't think that hard...but nooooo.... [02:53] greybeard95a, if its not seen by sudo fdisk -l, i would check with some live cd's and the bios screens to see if they see it.. if they DONT - sounds like a hardware error to me. [02:53] we gotta do things different [02:53] bazhang, ubuntu runs on make but the low number of mac users makes it difficult to find help on mac specfic issues [02:53] how can i open a .jar in termianl? [02:53] Dr_willis, the BIOS screen *does* see the drive. [02:53] MOMG! My xchate-gnome keeps closing! [02:53] bah! [02:54] witakr, use xchat , xchat-gnome is subpar [02:54] bazhang, is it an intel Mac? If so I can probably help [02:54] Arceye: not sure; didnt read the link--the rtl8187 realtek driver is the one you want though, it will work with the ubuntu latest kernel (gutsy and above) [02:54] and shoving people to an ubuntu ppc channel for mac help would be less than meaningless on a current mac... === ZehRique is now known as ZehRique_OFF [02:54] if any of you need a remote linux account i run a non-profit public shell service @ www.learningshells.com [02:54] greybeard95a, check dmesg output, check with some other live cds - would be next step. [02:54] pelo, word, i will return, thanks [02:54] okay, now on to ANOTHER problem. I get no sound at all anywhere, and I have the right things selected (alsa where it applies, usb audio for my card, etc). I get this error when I test the sound in the sound prefs http://pastebin.com/d7a6b44bd [02:54] Striking7: not sure ask lo1 [02:54] cizzi: not here please [02:54] * Dr_willis leaves for work. bye all [02:54] when i make a new partion on my harddrive and ubuntu isnt installed yet (im in the "desktop mode"), the harddrive(ntfs) should be MOUNTED or UNMOUNTED? [02:54] bazhang - oops, I just jumped into the conversation :-) [02:54] bye Dr_willis [02:54] cya dr [02:54] Later Dr === lo1 is now known as gurumeditation === ZehRique_OFF is now known as ZehRique [02:55] anyone running adobe air here? [02:55] periscope, check your user permission make sure you are allowed to "user audio device" [02:55] hehe [02:55] bazhang - allright [02:55] Dr_willis, I'm looking at dmesg now. What exactly am I looking for? [02:55] Jaime_: only unmounter [02:55] Pelo, sorry, very new here. How would I go about doing that? [02:55] SamSpade: you have an issue with it? [02:55] ok, but i need to mount when installing ubuntu? [02:56] bazhang, here's what to do [02:56] periscope, menu > system > admin > users , check the properties of your username, not for root [02:56] Jaime_: it will do that for you [02:56] !ask | SamSpade [02:56] SamSpade: 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. :-) [02:56] well, its still beta and i had that issue of it taking over some other mime types and just ran the code on the forum [02:56] regeya: I never asked a question ;] [02:56] can anyone help me make a new partion? [02:56] and it doesn't take over the mime types but now twhril doesn't open [02:56] Pelo, yes, use audio devices is checked off [02:56] bazhang: well, that saves you from 'do you have an issue?' every couple of minutes...just hit someone with 'ask' unelss it's someone like me just saying 'meh [02:57] Jaime_: using what? please clarify [02:57] ;-) [02:57] Jaime_, boot the live cd and open the gnome partiton manager in the system admin menu [02:57] regeya: to each his own thanks [02:57] Okay, I see hdc--which looks very much like the drive I'm missing [02:57] ive selected my hd but cant click "new partion" [02:57] its more of an adobe question so thats why i wasn't asking it specifically here and was just wondering if anyone else was using air :) [02:57] omg already i like this better, thanks Pelo [02:57] periscope, ok so that is not it , open a terminal type alsamixer , put all the levels up , there are more then those on the first screen , keep arrowing right [02:58] witakr, what ? [02:58] well...adobe has a full line of products outside of air, so... *wink* you remind me SamSpade that I need to give air a spin [02:58] xhat [02:58] c+ [02:58] anyoen know how i can open a .jar in ubuntu via terminal? [02:58] witakr, ho , no problem [02:58] its pretty sweet actually, especially for a beta [02:58] Pelo, you call me a ho?

My question is, 48 gigs transferred and the process crashed -- I want to resume from there -- is that possible? [02:59] good luck Arceye [02:59] ouch [02:59] 48/50 gigs [02:59] bazhang - where would be a good place to promote this educational service i have? [02:59] puller: I believe you use 'jar' and if you try to run that from terminal and don't have it installed, you'll get a list of packages containing jar utils [03:00] cizzi: no idea sorry [03:00] anyone know a way to resume ? [03:00] Pelo, alright, I did that and it did not change anything. But I opened amarok just now and it gave me an error for the first time, saying xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers [03:00] CapaH_, resume what ? [03:00] hello [03:00] Pelo: the ftp [03:00] I did: put file.gz [03:00] and it crashed at 48 gigs [03:00] periscope, open a terminal , type lspci , check if you see your audio card listed [03:01] CapaH_, sorry, don'T know , for big files like that maybe you should try torrents [03:01] hi! can anyone give me an idea what mail should i use that supports smtp and imap/pop3?

[03:22] abramson: why not stick with osx? [03:22] wanted to try this [03:22] bazhang, Because not all *NIX is the same [03:23] abramson: you might want to look into macports [03:23] do kernel drivers ever get clobbered or messed up, for example: a) during distro packaging, b) when I upgrade my kernel, etc? I ask because the Hardy kernel doesn't seem to include the improvements (that I wrote!) for the xbox 360 controller in 2.6.24. [03:23] and Apple is just as bad as M$. still closed propietery shiney box [03:23] bazhang, Because Apple broke X11, because fink sucks, things like that :) [03:24] jjb2: sometimes during kernel upgrades the modules etc can be fuzzled yes [03:24] apple broke X11? [03:24] usser: you have an issue? [03:24] apple acquired cups recently and contributes quite a lot to it [03:24] can someone please look at this installer errors and tell me what they mean? http://paste2.org/p/21608 [03:24] bazhang, no i dont [03:25] jjb2 you should be able to compile your own driver in without issue [03:25] how i edit the Right Click in the desktop menu??? [03:25] usser, Gimp no longer works ( last I checked at least ) [03:25] is there a way to have two "seperate" desktops on linux rather than one giant one that everything stretches accross? [03:25] Jordan_U what boooo [03:25] gogeta, the entire reason I sent a patch in to the kernel was so that I wouldn't have to do that [03:25] Jordan_U, on a mac? [03:26] so, it's kind of ironic i guess [03:26] Crshman, Yes [03:26] Crshman: aye that would be the dualhead option; /msg ubotu dualhead for more info [03:26] ah ok [03:26] Crshman linux has multi desktop built in [03:26] usser, Yes [03:26] what is dualhead [03:27] jjb2, Is your patch in the upstream vanilla sources? [03:27] 2 monoters [03:27] hmm i looked at the wiki and dualhead and dualscreen both redirect to the same article [03:27] Crshman: if you mean workspaces, yes. linux had it before OS X stole it :P [03:27] !dualhead | icesword [03:27] icesword: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [03:27] Jordan_U, yeah it's in 2.6.24 [03:27] Jordan_U, wow, sucks... [03:27] Jordan_U, i should probably check out the Ubuntu source [03:27] no, i mean two seperate desktop areas....so the top menu bars don't stretch accross both screens and apps don't open in the middle of them both so i have to drag them to either side [03:28] ok your all wrong!!! someone should have put somewhere of all the programs that you can add [03:28] anyone know how to change the dpi in winecfg graphics section without using the winecfg command? I accidentally bumped it up to a resolution past my screen and can't revert my accidental changes :S [03:28] Johninky: care to clarify? [03:28] Johninky: was that english?

[03:33] i installed ubunti linux wen i load a blueray it ejects ps3 [03:34] how do i install things from the web once i download them- i download them, open the carton on my desktop, and then it gives me trouble. [03:34] Arceye a big problem is obsolete instructions live forever ;( [03:34] abramson: install from the repos is the best bet [03:34] bazhang, thanks but I kind of given up on mp3splt, I found something else for now , not as versatile but appretly less fussy about the files === OrTigaS` is now known as OrTigaS [03:34] Pelo: what is it? [03:34] * usser halt hammerzeit [03:35] abramson system->add/remove , after you find something on the net you like check there for it [03:35] Unfortunately I can't be specific unless someone else is willing to do exactly as I am trying but that may mess their system [03:35] linkinxp, not realy sorry [03:35] hey thanks all, i used the ns wrapper and it works fine :) [03:35] bye [03:35] Pelo: thats ok ;D thanks [03:35] cya [03:35] abramson: if they're compatible, you should be prompted for a password to continue [03:35] anyone know how to start the resolution utility for when x is unable to start on a fresh install [03:35] ok, thx [03:35] bazhang, hold on [03:35] Iw as abel to load it by accident and fix the rez on another machine, but i do not remember what I did [03:35] wat about apps that u need to pay for, like crossover? [03:35] sellout, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:36] bazhang, mpgsomething, hold on I have to look it up [03:36] abramson: they usually have a deb [03:36] you buy it, you download it, you click on it and it installs [03:36] i know it was a graphical utility that I saw, and had the ability to test modes [03:36] in heron [03:36] only five more days of !hardy'ing people [03:36] Hey I have a great question, for a change, is there a countdown timer like for the gadget bar in vista that I can put on my desktop??? [03:37] does any1 know a program supported in 7.10 like crossover or wine [03:37] ? [03:37] sellout, why graphical just use dpkg-reconfigure and set res to lowest and run whatever u want from a working X [03:37] bazhang, mpgtx cli only but at least it works, not sure why mp3splt stoped working for me but then the devel seems to have stoped around the time or edgy [03:37] if i install the 'nvidia' driver then dont i have to update it everytime i update the kernel?

Is this possible in ubuntu? [03:41] nickrud, oh my... [03:41] abramson not on linux [03:41] other than itunes...- sumthin thats native to linux [03:41] nickrud: no we are unable to launch x at all. I had anothe rmachine that was doing similar and the autodetected setings did not work [03:41] * Pelo realy wish he knew how to make those menu that look like cards with tabs at the top , those look realy cool [03:41] abramson no [03:41] usser lets grandma have a low res and you your tiny fonts ;) [03:41] o [03:41] and after it failed multiple times it took us into thes failsafe mode thing with a resolution selection utility in the middle [03:41] nickrud: I did, as per the guide I was following; cliff@cliff-ubuntu:~$ sudo chown -R cliff:cliff /media/bigger didn't seem to change anything though [03:41] i need to know how to launch that manually [03:41] Pelo: well i am in the partion editor window and got my hd selected but i cant clink on "new", only on "delete" and "resize/Move" [03:42] sellout, did you reconfigrue xserver ? [03:42] abramson updates come from itunes thers no linux ver yes stupid being its a osx app [03:42] and "copy" [03:42] brrybnds: did that after mounting it? [03:42] nickrud, i thought it was kinda magic that gnome allowed per-user res settings. Does it really modify xorg.conf on load? [03:42] Jaime_, you need to unmount the partition first === administrator is now known as Emp === Emp is now known as Empire [03:42] ya already have [03:42] brrybnds: also chmod 775 /media/bigger if it still doesn't work after chown'ing [03:42] hey all, I cannot see any wireless networks in the network manager. however I can list them through manual configuration or iwlist ath0 scan... any ideas about how to fix this? [03:43] Jaime_, are you doing this from the live cd ? or from the installed ubuntu ? [03:43] live cd [03:43] birgi: do you have an open wifi spot to test on [03:43] I have a machine with SSH on it, and while it works on LAN, I can't get proper port forwarding and so I can't access it from da Internetz [03:43] Jaime_, and you can'T unmount and edit the partions ? [03:43] Pelo: yes, and even afterwords even trying to start failsafe, results in seriously bork screen [03:43] bazhang: yes i do [03:44] with the exception of port forwarding from the router and opening iptables as to let anything coming from the router in, is there anything else I am not doing right ? [03:44] birgi: what does ifconfig show? ath0? [03:44] from the beginning the partion was mounted but now i unmounted it...cant mount it nack though [03:44] yeah! [03:44] usser no, it keeps the data it uses in gconf, and usex xrandr (I think) . Looking in gconf for the keys right now [03:44] Jaime_, ok lets start from scratch, right now you hve partitions tat cover the whiole hdd, select the partiton you will be reducing, right click , unmount it, then right click again, resize and make it smaller [03:44] bazhang: it says UP, RUNNING but no ip is obtained. [03:44] just add it in fstab [03:45] sellout, when you reconfigured x did you pick the vesa driver ? did you mess with anyother setting ? [03:45] 1 min pelo [03:45] birgi: you are connected by ethernet on that box now? [03:45] Pelo: vesa gives nothing but screen garbage at 800x600 too it is an ati radeon mobility m6 [03:45] bazhang: yes [03:45] wat the :o [03:45] thanks thedonvaughn, that chmod 775 seemed to do it, have a great night! === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle [03:46] birgi: if you connect (or try to ) wit wifi it will kill your ethernet connection--you may want to test at your leisure sudo dhclient ath0 [03:46] sellout, wow no idea then , but I generaly sugest that when you recnfigure to use vesa you leave all the other settings to default and let the app do the job but you apperently went throught the motion [03:46] brrybnds: np. 775 = rwx for user, rwx for group a and r-x for everyone else. u need executiable set on a directory to be able to read/write to it. just little fyi [03:46] hi. I'm trying to install kubuntu off a livecd, using the "install" option. The install goes fine, but when it's done I try to apply all the available package upgrades using adept. That goes for a while and then crashes, saying there was a problem. After that, I can't restart Adept, it tells me something's already using the package database. If I try to reboot after that, it tells me "file not found" or something like that [03:47] Pelo_: why make it smaller? [03:47] ubuntu: specify the problem please [03:47] ubuntu, sudo killalll -9 apt [03:47] bazhang: ok thanks, but in my gentoo system when i clicked the network manager icon it was showing all the wireless networks, not i cannot find them from there, moreover it seems not to support wpa enterprise??? [03:48] Jaime_, you want to make a new partition ? you need to make room for it , you need to make some partiton smaller, or delete one [03:48] thedonvaughn: good to know, I'm (slowly) picking the unix commands back up from my original web/shell days [03:48] birgi: then you know the cli pretty well right? let me get you a link for howto cli wifi in ubuntu [03:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 here birgi [03:48] I can reinstall pretty easily.. but this has happened twice already while upgrading packages. why would adept be crashing? [03:49] bazhang: ok thanks a lot, i'll try to figure out that :) [03:49] okey, i see now, so i can make my nowly partion 5gig smaller? (my free space on harddrive) [03:49] ubuntu, bad packge ? ubuntu reboot, and assuming you hve a gui for adept where you can choose what packages to update, just pick a few and do those [03:50] Jaime_, basicaly [03:50] I installed a program from source, am now would prefer to do it through synaptic, is there any precautions or considerations I should take (linking issues, two versions of the same program...) [03:50] alrighty, I have one soundcard shown installed on my system. It doesn't work. I can't hear any sounds. XP plays sound. Alsa Mixer muted/unmuted things look fine, but that could be my problem. I've been working on this problem for about 3 months [03:50] or will it in some likelihood just overwrite/skip things that are already on the system? [03:50] hi... [03:50] and then make a new partion with the 5 gigs left? [03:50] diagon, remove the one you installed from source first, get the source again, do all the steps but at then end, sudo make uninstall [03:50] if it was a bad package, it's pretty crappy that adept/apt doesn't tell me that, and tell me which package. [03:50] Pelo: I tried that, it didn't work [03:51] bazhang: thanks a lot, this seems to be the resource i was looking for, for a long time :) [03:51] diagon, well you can try instaling the deb over but I would personnaly use the search feature and try to get rid of as many files for that app as I can first [03:52] * Pelo has now gone 2 hrs without an update , and he's jonesing [03:52] hi friends [03:52] maybe I should rewrite it [03:52] wen i tried to join #fedora [03:52] i got this message [03:52] * Pelo looks at ragsagar suspiciously [03:53] Cannot join #fedora (You are banned [03:53] i never entered it b4 [03:53] then how it happened [03:53] ragsagar, were you there before ? did you say someting yo shouldn'T have ?

[03:58] iam new to IRC! [03:58] sellout you still trying to reset the gnome screen resolution? [03:58] pls help me! [03:58] Jaime_, I'm a bit confused here, what image is this, what ,iso , gparted is for managing harddrive partitons , nothing to do with images [03:58] ragsagar, no idea, ask in #xchat or someting [03:58] ok [03:58] ragsagar: use an account that isn't root [03:58] thanx [03:58] iam now from my root [03:58] usser in case you're interested, I've finally found where gnome keeps it's per user data on screens [03:58] Pelo: can i lose some data on my hdd when i resize my partion?

[03:59] I've followed serveral guides online, and none have been able to fix my sound problem, any help? [03:59] Jaime_, it is not impossible but it is usualy pretty safe, better backup your important stuff first and if it is a ntfs/fat partiton , defrag it a fwe times it will make things faster [03:59] birgi: let me know if you get stuck; I once (suse 10.0) had to get an external pcmcia card going with ndiswrapper to a wpa2 connection [04:00] Joeseph, didyou check your user permission ? [04:00] Pelo: yes, I'll check again now too === THS_ is now known as Helpsys [04:00] Pelo, can i defrag whit the live cd? [04:00] Ragnarel a better choice is to create a new user, and log into that. Safer, and #fedora will let you in [04:00] Jaime_, no [04:00] ragsagar: running irc as root? logging in as root? you likely have some serious permissions issues now [04:00] ok hm [04:00] Ragnarel soory [04:00] bazhang: ok now going over the whole tutorial, not to miss anything :) [04:01] Pelo: did you read my thread at the ubuntu forums? [04:01] bazhang: thanks again by the way [04:01] yeah i got the messaqge that it is stupid to run IRC as root wen i ran it for the 1st time [04:01] Joeseph, no I didn't [04:01] birgi: no worries and ask way if any more questions ;] [04:02] nickrud, do tell. links?

[04:02] Jaime_: what is host os? xp? you might want to try wubi then [04:02] Jaime_: what is your old os then? [04:03] Joeseph, doesn'T matter realy but check it anyway [04:03] usser the gconf key is depreciated, but still exists. A red herring ;) [04:03] Brasero doesn't seem to be able to read verify.

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [04:06] reya276: that says that the wacom kernel module is loaded, and that the usbcore kernel module is loaded and is being used by 8 other kernel module (including wacom) [04:06] mounted or unmounted partion when instaling ubuntu via liveCD? [04:06] Pelo: I've been trhough a lot of this same stuff before: one thing I thought was odd is that ALSA Mixer has a "Chip analog device' that I don't know what is, does that mean anything? [04:06] Joeseph, ok make note of the device id or whatever, card model as listed in the lspic output, goto menu > system >prefs> sound , for each sound event , ( each drop down box) find the alsa device taht constains someting that looks like the lable in lspic for you audio device, you get what I mean ? [04:06] Jaime_: well like I said you can import stuff (data) etc via the installer; if you do not have a backup already that is unfortunate [04:06] crdlb: oh so this means it should work after I reboot my system right? [04:07] ok thanks [04:07] Joeseph, I couldn'T saywaht analog device for alsa means [04:07] pretender: what is koverartist [04:07] bazhang: yes but i cant delete any data?

I rebooted after that update, and now it is in the dropdown list in sound prefs, but it says (not connected) when it is. [04:21] pat_, check in synaptic first, ifyou have a package in the repos use it , better then compiling [04:21] pat_ isn't it in the repos? apt-cache search licq [04:21] periscope try unplgging and plugging [04:22] check repos pat_ [04:22] pat_, but meanwhile , you can look in here for an explanaiton http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ [04:22] Pelo: i have ff 3beta4 [04:22] pat [04:22] sudo apt-get install licq pat_ [04:22] just xtract the file [04:22] and read the install text file inside [04:22] nickrud, still says it.

[04:23] ToddEDM: yes; /msg ubotu grub for a link how to fix grub after [04:23] bazhang,but he asked "how to install .tar.gz" isnt it? [04:23] periscope I knew how to get the module, but use the module? When I can afford it :) [04:23] its the best answer for it,isnt it? [04:24] nickrud, would reinstalling alsa solve anything? is that even possible? haha [04:24] ragsagar: but in this case it was not needed as was in the repos you understand? [04:24] ubot5, ok [04:24] Factoid ok not found [04:24] ragsagar not if there's a package. Three quarters of support here is figuring out the underlying question, not just the surface one. [04:24] ragsagar: Error: "ok" is not a valid command. [04:24] ragsagar, there is more to it then that , and no it is not the best answer , the best answer it to tell them to check in the repos first for a precompiled package, it is much easier [04:24] bazhang, ok [04:25] ubot5, try man ok [04:25] Factoid try man ok not found [04:25] ragsagar: Error: "try" is not a valid command.

But, I still need to learn a lot of terminal commands and how to compile from source myself, etc. etc. Yes I know the dying feeling you speak of! [04:51] keco, ask in #ubuntu+1 [04:51] abramson, wine does not run a windows inside linux, just program designed for windows [04:52] Leonidas_, these will help http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ [04:52] bazhang, it only did my main monitor. How do I get it to autodetect for my TV? [04:52] http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/ this is a good beginner bit Leonidas_ [04:52] Leonidas_ ./configure $$ make [04:52] Leonidas_ done :) [04:52] lol [04:52] Leonidas_ Well, luckily you can ask for help or advice in here and you'll always get answers [04:52] Hey, I am having a pretty bad problem whenever I shut down my computer from the log in window. When I want to shut down, my motherboard starts beeping like crazy and my monitor starts flashing and acts random. The weird thing is that when I shut down from the user desktop it works fine. I need this problem to get fixed because whenever this happens it looks like the whole computer is gonna crash. Any ideas? [04:53] harksaw: will this be always on? you can /msg ubotu dualhead or /msg ubotu xinerama for more links on that [04:53] i'll ask again, what is this new linux-virtual kernel??? i knew the others linux-rt (real time), linux-server, linux-generic, but what is this linux-virtual??? [04:53] bazhang, I don't know if it's relevant, but the TV is on component cables, so autodetect probably won't work, I'm guessing [04:53] WOW! Ask and you shall receive! [04:53] dusnt it run windows apps in linux? [04:53] lol [04:53] kenan_ multibeeps sounds like a video error [04:53] that is wine... [04:53] harksaw: that might be the issue; any way to use vga with that? [04:53] Leonidas_ Indeed! [04:53] abramson, wine runs some windows apps on linux [04:54] does it run itunes? [04:54] i guess i'll need to reinstall another server to get that [04:54] !appdb | abramson [04:54] abramson: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [04:54] is there another channel I should join to get help with my touchpad? [04:54] abramson, wine is a program you install in linux that reproduces the windows api so you can run windows program in the linux environnement [04:54] abramson You can always use Amarok instead of iTunes [04:54] abramson, i think it is too hard to run itunes using wine [04:54] Yes, I don't mind asking questions, but I want to become more than a "user" of Ubuntu, I'm going to school for Comp Sci and MIS so I would like to get more involved with Ubuntu, that's why I need to learn a lot of this stuff [04:54] gogeta: where does this error come from and how do I fix it? [04:54] dragon_, this is pretty much it [04:54] kenan_ hate to sound dumb but check to see if your card hasent came lose [04:54] !touchpad | dragon_ [04:54] dragon_: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [04:54] what's the chat by Brazil??? [04:54] wine is weak [04:54] Many people, including myself are just sick of Microsoft's bullshit [04:55] !br [04:55] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [04:55] it's time for a change [04:55] abramson, cause itunes requires usb support, and access to sound system, and... [04:55] esp. ubuntu wine! [04:55] language please Leonidas_ [04:55] bazhang, I might be able to get a dvi-hdmi adapter. Do you think that would make it possibly autoconfig? [04:55] Hussni, /join #ubuntu-br [04:55] abramson, amarok is a really nice alternative to itunes [04:55] I apologize [04:55] Sorry about that [04:55] harksaw: worth a shot [04:55] where can i get help on soapcast ? [04:55] Maybe I should read a little more closely [04:55] bazhang, i'll try picking one up. Thanks so much for your help [04:55] Leonidas_, we do not bitch about windows and ms we enjoy the competition, but more we enjoy winning it [04:56] Leonidas_: the links in the /topic are good too [04:56] abramson, the other alternative you have is to run a windows inside linux using a virtual machine to be able to use all the itunes features... but that's to kill a mosquito with a warhammer... [04:56] Oh ok, thank you [04:56] gogeta: well ill check it once I shut down but multibeep does not happen when it shut down from the user desktop, its only when i shut down from the log in window that I get these errors [04:56] kk- thx fairy- also, wer can i get a fix for the wi-fi problem evry1 is having- i hav a first generation macbook white bottom model with extra RAM wifi worked on lepoard... [04:56] bazhang - what size should I used in partitions with a 200GB drive [04:56] kenan_ is this a desktop? [04:56] MrSteve: you got unetbootin working? [04:56] gogeta: yes [04:57] bazhang -- not yet, but I know it will ask [04:57] kenan_ try running it with acpi disabled [04:57] allright, good night folks [04:57] !touchpad [04:57] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [04:57] I'm currently having some troubles with wine trying to install steam with linux.. anyone think they can help? ty [04:57] Is something up with firefox on 7.10? [04:57] gogeta: sorry im kinda noob, what is acpi and how do i disable it? [04:57] kenan_ pass acpi=off apm=off to grub and see how it acts then [04:57] abramson, maybe ndiswrapper, but I'm not sure [04:57] Mythril Not that i know of.. [04:57] It keeps telling me that "extensions has no properties" in the error console of my firefox [04:58] bazhang - right after the unetbootin gets installed, it reboots the pc, and then will start.. [04:58] alrite, and u no anythin about wi-fi by any chance? [04:58] and... abramson, try to use full words, not everyone here is english native speaker, and for people like me, it is hard to read it and give help to you [04:58] MrSteve: this is dual boot or all for ubuntu? if only ubuntu then you might wish to have a seperate /home partition (bigger the better), / (around 20GB if you can) /swap (normallly double ram but depends) and then /boot of about 100MB that should do [04:58] ok guys [04:59] oh, sorry.. I'll try [04:59] bye for bow [04:59] kenan_ for a little guide press e at kernel on grub [04:59] bazhang -- 200GB .. all Ubuntu [04:59] now [04:59] kenan_ and add those 2 to it and boot [04:59] at the end [04:59] MrSteve: then that should do (as outlined above) [04:59] bazhang -- mebe 3x 60 partions? [04:59] abramson, ;) is just to be able to read it faster and give you the correct help you need ;) [05:00] ya, I know [05:00] \quit [05:00] MrSteve: 60GB for / ? the entire ubuntu repos is only 45 GB ;] [05:00] kenan_ if it works then well make ir a perment option [05:00] well, i think nobody knows what is this virtual kernel about... [05:00] Pelo, Yes winning it is a good thing. You know, I was thinking about that today. If the PC gaming market dies (it's in a slow death now) many more people would switch to Linux in my opinion [05:00] When i use french servers.... You get the picture [05:00] I've already done what it says on that guide, but I can't get the touchpad gui or synclient to work...both tell me to set SHMConfig to "true" in my xorg.conf, but it's there! My xorg.config reads exactly like it says on the tutorial, but it's still not working... [05:00] how do you get a picture with a geforce 7900? [05:00] :-( [05:00] bazhang --- aye.. Okay, so one 60 for Ubuntu? [05:00] lol [05:01] bazhang -- One for apps [05:01] bazhang -- One for storage & Share [05:01] How long have you guys been using Ubuntu?

[05:02] I see [05:02] Leonidas_ Since Feisty i think [05:02] how do you get a picture with a geforce 7900? [05:02] actually, I have not started Using Linux.. yet [05:02] oops already typed that [05:02] sorry [05:02] MrSteve: you can go for default or setup seperate home etc [05:02] gogeta: so when i boot into grub i add this?: pass acpi=off apm=off [05:02] * /msg ubotu etiquette [05:02] yes.. seperate [05:02] MrSteve :-( [05:03] kenan no pass [05:03] ok [05:03] just acpi=off apm=off [05:03] i have to go now [05:03] bye guys [05:03] to goes with the main boot [05:03] fairy: you suggested I use Amarok as an alternate to iTunes; does it work with iPhones, and does it recieve apple updates? [05:03] Yeah I've been on and off since Feisty, but my laptop doesn't have that good of performance like my PC, so I said time for the whole shabang!

[05:04] abramson: you dont use itunes in windows or apple; or use windows in a vm and do it there via iTunes [05:04] abramson, then install a virtualbox, a windows inside, and use the ipod through this windows [05:04] i have a question i am trying to turn on my wifi but it is not in the gui but the restricted driver is loaded how do i go around this [05:05] I see, I need a / , diresctory, and a /home , directory.. and var, and swap, and etc etc.. and they are so small [05:05] eaglestar: what does ifconfig report? three entries or two [05:05] What virtual machines are free for linux - parralels is the only one I know of, and you have to buy it...?

[05:19] nymphox granted there where both connix modems thow [05:20] i do know ATI has that Catalyst thing, and it sets monitors, and desktops [05:20] gogeta: alright thanks, that might have fixed it because i shut it down twice and i didnt get problems. But can you please tell me what disabling acpi and apm does? [05:20] Scunizi, true, he could just search for it in synaptic [05:20] kenan_ its linux power mangment [05:20] Im back [05:20] synaptic is wanting me to install a dependency which I already have installed, by source... how can I tell it "no"? or direct it to where it's installed [05:20] kenan_ it can be largly buggy on a older system [05:21] does any1 no wat i can do to fix my wifi? [05:21] this game is getting past the update, why is that? [05:21] isnt* [05:21] Why on earth do I have do a search for file 'foo' before I get the chance to configure the search?!?! [05:21] kenan_ but a desktop doesent need it anyways your bios mandel it fine [05:21] gogeta: You talking about the one for the inspirons if so i tried that one also i am currently using slamr [05:21] gogeta: my computer is really new so why would i have this problem?

[05:21] gogeta: lol [05:22] kenan_ acpi is largly buggy and useless on a desktop its ment for laptops === happinessturtle is now known as nenolod [05:22] So the game wont update, why is that? === nenolod is now known as nenolod` === nenolod` is now known as nenolod [05:23] gogeta: alright, so how do I now make it boot always with acpi and apm off? [05:23] kenan_ years back it used to just be disabled by defult on a desktop but they started leaving it enabled === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle [05:23] kenan_ add those to your grub.conf file [05:23] gogeta: whats the grub.conf file directory? === MrSteve is now known as DriveTrax [05:23] kenan_ same line you typed them befor you will see it [05:23] gogeta: You talking about the one for the inspirons if so i tried that one also i am currently using slamr [05:24] kenan_ /etc//boot if im not wrong may just be /boot [05:24] nymphox yea [05:24] nymphox to bad i dont knoe your modem [05:24] nymphox it was aguess [05:26] So i guess know one understands my problem?

[05:28] Secrets of Mirage, the 2d mmo [05:28] Main-menu > Accessories > Tracker-Search-Tool ...Who the hell thought that It would be a good idea to only let the user configure the search after having done a first search?!?! [05:28] gogeta: ok thank you [05:29] kenan_ you have to be su to edit it of course [05:29] maybe I didnt setup wvdial.conf correctly [05:29] gogeta:yup [05:29] kenan_ but just add it to the same line as befor its the same format [05:30] kenan_ then save it [05:30] can't wait to see ubuntu OS .. do it tomorrow.. for sure!

[05:56] aro, its using 1GB of RAM [05:56] aro, alarmo says its a memory leakage bug [05:56] or something [05:56] Peddy, never had Firefox use that much on me before [05:56] Lake kinda exessiv [05:56] gogeta: I have to remove read rights for the whole system minus the user's home folder ?

[05:57] aro, especially since I only have one tab and one download giong [05:57] Lake jeezz [05:57] going* [05:57] Lake just use ftp [05:57] gogeta: as simple as ssh to set up ? :) [05:57] Lake lol [05:58] Lake install a ftp server you can make only 1 folder vusable [05:58] gogeta: can people upload as well ? [05:58] Lake if you whant yes [05:58] Lake, but it won't be cryptographed... [05:58] gogeta: would you say it's painful do this via shell ?

[05:59] using some login script to chroot the guy into some really limited sandbox...

[06:01] Lake lol so is ftp [06:02] Lake anything other then ssh is less secure [06:02] well, I guess you can't use sambe over internet, can you ? [06:02] gogeta: which is why a hardcore ssh user account would be perfect :P [06:02] only local network... or am I wrong ? [06:02] alarmo i dunno never tryed [06:02] i need to mount an ext hard drive, can anyone advise how to edit fstab? how do i login as root? [06:03] Lake you gonna have to make some kind of sandbox user to make sh work [06:03] ssh [06:03] Lake, take a look at this page: http://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd [06:03] Lake with acess to 1 folder and ssh [06:03] alarmo: thx [06:03] gogeta: yeah, thats what I wanted to do in the 1st place [06:03] If anyone here knows how to install the drivers for an 8800GT please PM me.. [06:03] Lake, just keep in mind that I don't actually KNOW this software... it came out of a google search. [06:04] alarmo: exploring is fun in any case [06:04] Lake iv seen it done [06:05] Lake hears something on it [06:05] http://andrew-rose.blogspot.com/2008/02/roll-your-own-n-server-sandbox.html [06:05] i need to mount an ext hard drive, can anyone advise how to edit fstab? how do i login as root?

[06:06] sudo vi /etc/fstab [06:06] hello folks, im back [06:06] Lake that would defently sandbox the user [06:06] bah, no luck with 8.04, 7.10, safe mode, usbs disconnected, I guess this comp cant run a live cd, worth a shot though [06:07] gogeta: hmm okay, now I just gotta find the command lines to do this over SSH since my server is headless [06:07] nickrud, I tried what you said about running in recovery mode [06:07] haha [06:07] thanks gogeta and thanks alarmo for your attention span :) [06:08] i think its dev/sda [06:08] Lake your better off w ftp and a virtule machine [06:08] 看看能用中文不 阿阿阿阿 [06:08] 能用 [06:08] Lake if someone hacks your su password on ssh they can wreak havic [06:09] gogeta: hm yeah, I think so too [06:09] new to ubuntu - how do i log in as root [06:09] Lakeusing a vm you can limit the damage to the fake pc [06:09] gogeta: Im not ready for a virtual machine and I am also not ready to screw up my installation because I am changing system-wide read rights [06:09] TRC2908: read the private message from ubotu [06:09] gogeta: but its a good idea nontheless [06:10] how do i access that? [06:10] yesily: 在這裡用中文其他人可能會看到亂碼的 [06:10] !sudo | TRC2908 [06:10] TRC2908: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [06:10] Lake lol you dont change em system wide just the user [06:10] gogeta: I thikn I am going to go with an FTP server [06:10] Lake yea alot easer [06:10] Lake i would say ftp plus vm [06:10] v pretty safe then [06:11] gogeta: yeah but to restrict the user, you gotta tell the whole system to ignore it, no ? [06:11] gogeta: wouldnt you chmod the whole / to sandbox the user correctly ? [06:11] Lake you make a group like sandbox [06:11] Lake, all you would need to do is to disable that user from logging in... [06:12] Lake you make the system see that that guser in that group have no rites [06:12] Hi guys [06:12] merely setting his shell for something like /bin/false would do the trick, I think... [06:12] but I'm no security expert... take my advices with a grain of salt... [06:12] Lake i have no idea how to do it text only [06:12] gogeta: hm okay, so make user, place him in group and strip group of all rights... [06:12] gogeta: I will figure the shell commands out :P [06:12] Lake yep [06:12] Hey, I finally got my ATI drivers isntalled... but I go to enable compiz and it says Compisite extension not available.. how do I fix this? [06:12] Lake so its not system wide [06:13] Lake only affect that user group [06:13] Lake, what exactly are you trying to do now ? I got lost... [06:13] gogeta: once I strip his group of all rights, how do I give him just enough rights to write in his home folder (but not execute) ? [06:13] :P [06:13] Lake Lake yep and remove it from any other groups [06:13] snowdoll, hiya [06:13] Lake that will sandbox only that group [06:14] Hey, I finally got my ATI drivers isntalled... but I go to enable compiz and it says Compisite extension not available.. how do I fix this? [06:14] Lake and not the entire system [06:14] alarmo: strilll trying to make a user with access only to his home folder :P [06:14] Lake, gave up on the FTP idea ? [06:14] alarmo: not quite but it's not secure and I already implemented ssh and have a ounce of experience with it [06:14] alarmo no he thought he had the sandbox the entire server [06:14] alarmo: but I will try FTP too [06:14] i just bought a rather juicy big external harddrive, and i'm wonder, when i come round to installing hardy when it's released, is it possible to mount /home in a dedicated partition on this new hdd? [06:15] sexcopter: yes [06:15] Auctionedllama: i had same problem. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf at bottom of xorg file you see Option Composite you change setting to 'Enable' if it isn't already [06:15] alarmo making a user in a sepret group eg sandbox and sanboxing that group would work [06:15] Ok legend thanks mate [06:15] Lake, well, about the "not secure" I'd say "not encrypted" ... but encryption for file transfer wouldn't be exactly needed... [06:15] ok guys... can someone help me install windows, i need to make a windows partition, but HOW?? [06:15] hi guys. I'm having trouble with the ssh options. When would I use -L, and when would I use -R? [06:16] jrib: cool, is it fairly clear during the install how to do that? i think i recall from last time seeing that option [06:16] gogeta, I don't know if you can do that... except if that works with ACL's which I never got into learning... [06:16] legend2440- it says that the option is on 0 [06:16] Auctionedllama: back up xorg.conf first just in case of problems [06:16] the manpage instructions for each are identical except for remote and local. I need more information [06:16] alarmo, gogeta actually I might do both, why not! I will both FTP and try to make that special special user work [06:16] alarmowell i knoe in the gui it was possable to do it [06:16] alarmo you could change ind groups rights [06:17] Auctionedllama: mine says Option "Composite" "Enable" [06:17] sexcopter: yes, it should be clear if you use the desktop cd [06:17] Usually posix access rights only define "owner, group, other" ... [06:17] ok.. its on 0 for me.. I'll enable it xD [06:17] my wifi dusnt work, suggestions on how to fix it? [06:17] !wifi > abramson (read the private message from ubotu) [06:17] it doesn't really matter what group you are, if other is set to readable... [06:17] Auctionedllama: are you using fglrx? [06:17] alarmo so if ou put a user only in that group in thery anyways you would sandbox only that user amd not the system [06:17] yes [06:17] somehow [06:17] I got it to work [06:17] this was my 4th format [06:17] ??? [06:18] and 5 days of working on my card [06:18] Auctionedllama: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:18] and I got it to function [06:18] abramson: ubotu sent you a private message with relevant information [06:18] jrib: im new, can u explain wat u mean [06:18] Auctionedllama: yes i had same problem mine is radeon 9600 [06:18] how do i c it? [06:18] alarmo: can you set other to invisble ? [06:19] legend2440: mines a x1650 so its not supported by the open driver [06:19] abramson: what client are you using? [06:19] ok.. gonna restart [06:19] brb [06:19] Auctionedllama: ok [06:19] xchat [06:19] abramson: then there is a tab somewhere that says "ubotu", click on it [06:19] ati sucks.. never buy ati again [06:19] Lake, not that I know of... as far as I know, if a file has whatever rights set on "other", it doesn't matter which user or which group, it will those rights if he is not owner or in the owning group of the file [06:19] would anyone know where iptables keeps its logs ?

[06:21] Lake easy [06:21] GH-VAIO: don't format your text like that please [06:21] so what is the difference between the -R and -L options in ssh? when would I use each? [06:21] alarmo: whats a non-loggalbeu seR? [06:21] alarmo: Ill google that [06:21] sorrie [06:21] Lake your gonna need to make system wide changes for ssh to work [06:21] i cant seem to use make [06:21] so the user will exist, but you wouldn't be able to, say, log in a ssh shell [06:21] make: *** [all] Error 1 <-- this is the error [06:21] GH-VAIO, What are you trying to compile? [06:22] psybnc [06:22] all right then ! FTP for the win and then some weird user account for a later try [06:22] Lake, if you set a user to have it's shell to something like /bin/false it won't be able to log in to the system [06:22] went im in the psybnc directory [06:22] i cant seem to make [06:22] alarmo: what would the point of having such a user ? [06:22] althought it should be able to log into the FTP account [06:22] is there 1 for internal wifi cards/ [06:22] set the FTP rights tightly, therefore you wouldn't have much problems from that front... [06:23] alarmo: you mean sftp ... right? [06:23] the guy can only log on to the FTP, and no ssh or telnet shell connection available... [06:23] alarmo: because FTP only wants to see a user account in ubuntu "database of users" I guess [06:23] Lake bestsetup would be 1 folder with its own sub dirs [06:23] !ntfs [06:23] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [06:23] Talcite, not really, I was talking about FTP... why ? did I say anything wrong ? :) === Unit_A_ is now known as Unit_A [06:23] =P [06:24] ok then, FTP seems to ressemble samba like I said earlier so it shouldnt be much of a hassle..

[06:25] hey, is there a way to access my ubuntu OS and my home network with an XP machine running in VIrtualbox? [06:25] zero_: not without a lot of work. To share files though, there's a shared folder you can enable in the VM settings [06:25] you can access (for read) from pretty much every web browser... [06:26] Talcite, i dont mind a lot of work [06:26] can someone help me? My ubuntu is going haywire since I installed automatix. Permissions are messed up and some of my own files are not deletable or writable to me. I need to back up some stuff to an external drive but it says I don't have write permissions. It's an ntfs drive, can someone please help? [06:26] zero_ then crack out google. The shared folder is much easier if all you want to do is transfer files [06:26] alarmo but to write, you need an app, right ?

I've never tried emacs...just now getting over the vim learning curve [06:33] distortedstar: you can use vile to get emacs bindings inside vim [06:34] distortedstar: er, inside vi, i mean [06:34] <_Rambaldi_> thanks magnetron [06:34] would someone be able to help me [06:34] cause the readme file is really poitnless [06:34] yea the only problems I seem to be having is with my wireless card as well, but it's old so to be expected [06:34] I'm sure they will sort it out [06:34] it says ntfsfix command not found [06:34] distortedstar, I'd really like to learn emacs... but some switch turned inside my brain quite a long time ago... and I can't de-vim-ize it... [06:35] do I have to sudo-apt get it? [06:35] alarmo, yeah...i think it's best to just choose one.

[06:41] misfit_246 linux should then give you use of that drive [06:41] GH-VAIO, what hostname ? machine local hostname ? [06:41] GH-VAIO: buy a domain name... [06:41] yeah machine local hostname [06:41] GH-VAIO, you want to resolve it to good old 127.0.0.1 ? [06:42] jon_high9000_: i dont think its heavy considering if you can handle compiz (which you need for any widgety thing because they all take compositing) you can handle 13MB [06:42] I would like to install Hardy Heron from Gentoo. How should I proceed? [06:42] I don't have a CD drive. [06:42] Tronic_: can you boot from USB? [06:42] maco: Yes. [06:42] dont eg my machine name is vaio.gh-solutions.org <-- i want it to be resolve. [06:42] unknown. sorry i am a noobie. [06:42] oh just in passing.. and I doubt anyone could help me with this.. could some on Demonoid happen to be able to send me an invite? [06:43] how do i do that [06:43] !offtopic | goldie [06:43] goldie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:43] lol [06:43] invites are closed afaik [06:43] sry >< [06:43] so is there anyone that knows how to isntall drivers?

[06:44] Is there some sort of equivalent of /dev/eth0? (Where I can read/write data directly to the ethernet card/chip?) [06:44] i have the drivers for realtek rtl8187b [06:44] and they are downloaded [06:44] i have the same level of exp as Jordan_U [06:44] jrib: um I need access to demonoid to get specif drivers for my wireless card, only this torrent site has them [06:44] Nameless_One: http://quilombo.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/realtek-rtl8187b-working-in-ubuntu-710-using-ndiswrapper/ [06:44] my real problem is i'm not able to install them [06:44] i can't figure out how [06:44] goldie: please... [06:44] <_Rambaldi_> i thing what GH-VAIO mean is, he want to know how to have hostnames resolve to ip address on a local network. [06:44] legend2440 i looked at that [06:44] Hamled: er....it *is* possible to cat data to a device [06:44] Has OpenSSH VPN support been implemented on W32 yet? [06:44] alarmo: it is possible for a dhcp server to dynamically update dns records [06:44] Nameless_One: have you looked up your card on the !wifi wiki page? [06:45] Hamled: if you cat a file to /dev/dsp (i think?) it'll go through your speakers [06:45] yeah thats right [06:45] I was looking specifically for network controllers [06:45] _Rambaldi_ yeah u r right, thats wat i mean [06:45] Boohbah, well, yes... but then you'd have to check that with the dhcp server... I thought he was trying to configure his machine for it... I Guess I misunderstood :) [06:45] like, if there was a /dev/eth0, but they don't work like that, so is there some pseudofile I can access that will read from the network controller directly? [06:45] !hosts [06:45] Factoid hosts not found [06:45] jrib i have the right drivers [06:46] <_Rambaldi_> i have open wondered how to do that, it annoyed my always typing ip address but so far no idea how to do it [06:46] !wifi | Nameless_One [06:46] Nameless_One: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:46] Hamled: that device should do it, i think [06:46] Tronic_, Do you know what the toram kernel parameter does and does your kernel support it? [06:46] on topic now ^_^? [06:46] GH-VAIO: edit /etc/hosts [06:46] GH-VAIO: you can add a stsic mapping there that only works locally [06:46] goldie: no [06:46] maco, I thought /dev/eth0 didn't exist? (A page I read explained it that the network interfaces are created in software and thus don't have actual device files) [06:46] wast the command? [06:47] Hmmm speaking of RTL8187... does anyone know how to differentiate between a RTL8187 B and a RTL8187 L ? [06:47] Has OpenSSH VPN support been implemented on W32 yet? [06:47] <_Rambaldi_> its a file GH-VAIO add the computer to it [06:47] maco: it says that the ncurses-bin conflicts with ncurses [06:47] jrib :) sry okay [06:47] GH-VAIO: sudo gedit /etc/hosts [06:47] Hamled: oh. youre right. sorry [06:47] (Uptime) for vaio.gh-solutions.org (Linux 2.6.22-14-generic): 13:47:00 up 7:50, 2 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.02 <-- i want to make that being able to dns [06:47] so its that how [06:47] ±.:[Í]:.± do it [06:47] <_Rambaldi_> !gksu | Boohbah [06:47] Boohbah: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[06:48] Hamled: /dev/mem is a good one too [06:48] anybody know [06:48] Jordan_U: Never heard of it, but sounds like a initrd parameter rather than something used by the kernel itself. === eau is now known as nixeagle [06:48] <_Rambaldi_> GH-VAIO, have you got it working? [06:48] working on it [06:48] ncurses-bin conflicts with ncurses, so ncurses cannot be installed.... [06:48] amrcidiot: did you uninstall ncurses-bin?

[06:51] <_Rambaldi_> offcourse any editor you have [06:51] Hamled: you could [06:51] GH-VAIO: pico doesn't exist in Ubuntu, its nano. [06:51] <_Rambaldi_> maybe he likes pico [06:51] Boohbah: I can't.... well I can, but so many other packages will be removed such as Firefox and about 100 others than I don't want gone.... :( [06:51] ermm, i able to ue pico [06:51] in mind [06:51] thats strange [06:51] lolz [06:51] GH-VAIO: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:51] ok, was just wondering about the use of kdesudo, I assumed that like gnome's sudo variant, it was mainly for elevating priveleges within a GUI environment [06:52] Hamled: Its not an invocation specific thing, its a program thing. kdesu/gksu set up the environment better for graphical apps than sudo itself does. [06:52] Hey ... nice.. [06:52] I want to choose someone better terminal character,but I don't know which one is better,who can recommend me one? [06:52] im running a AMD64 bit 1 gig Mhz Athlon [06:52] okie guys im in [06:52] piping /dev/random to /dev/dsp gives some smooth noise... [06:52] so wat do i need to edit? [06:52] Hamled acully i have heard it befor in rl it sounds like dailing a phone at 1,000x speed unlike a dialup that sounds like static and sine sounds [06:52] Hamled: actually, it seems that just using sudo will not take into account the privileges of some files [06:52] Flannel, like having the password dialog pop open and such [06:52] Hamled: no, thats completely superficial [06:52] ah [06:52] <_Rambaldi_> add the ip and hostname to the list GH-VAIO [06:52] on ubuntu-server how would i set it up so it forwards any traffic from one interface to another (so pretty much ubuntu-server) is just acting as a network bridge? [06:52] that is interesting [06:52] _Rambaldi_ the ip n hostname [06:53] its aready there [06:53] I mean, /dev/urandom [06:53] # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts [06:53] ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback [06:53] fe00::0 ip6-localnet [06:53] ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix [06:53] ff02::1 ip6-allnodes [06:53] GH-VAIO: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:53] ff02::2 ip6-allrouters [06:53] why wouldn't it take into account some files, or rather in what way I guess? [06:53] <_Rambaldi_> thats your own computer, add the other computers on your network to the list GH-VAIO [06:54] GH-VAIO: is gh-solutions.org in there?? [06:54] (01:53:21pm) 116.15.18.27 vaio.gh-solutions.org <- [06:54] I do hate to sound like I'm disparaging gnomebaker and k3b, but........ they are both S.L.O.W. at burning audio cds. Is there anything faster? [06:54] Tronic_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [06:54] ±.:[Í]:.± want vaio.gh-solutions.org to be able to dns [06:54] wolfwalker, you could use their command-line backends? [06:54] ±.:[Ñ]؆:.± gh-solutions.org [06:55] i want vaio.gh-solutions.org to be able to dns [06:55] Olgem this computer is going to a person who doesn't even use GUI very well. [06:55] not gh-solutions.org [06:55] GH-VAIO, Please stick to lower ascii ;) [06:55] that is a very odd script [06:55] I dare not give him command-lines. [06:55] wolfwalker, is it slow in response time, or to actually burn the cd. I dont think the latter can be helped. [06:55] GH-VAIO: if you want other computers to query vaio for name resolution you'll have to install a real dns server [06:55] I've got a fresh install of gutsy and i've just installed all the updates and enabled restricted drivers. Whenever i try to start firefox i get Bus error (core dumped) and it doesn't start. [06:56] Slow to translate the ogg to cd audio [06:56] <_Rambaldi_> does vaio.gh-solutions.org have a static ip? GH-VAIO [06:56] Once it gets the buffer filled it flies. [06:56] nope [06:56] it does [06:56] wolfwalker buy a faster pc ;-) [06:56] wolfwalker: ogg more complex than mp3 [06:56] How do you burn mp3? k3b won't read it, it says. [06:56] Or was that gnomebaker wouldn't read it........ [06:56] <_Rambaldi_> then add the host and that ip to the stop part of the hosts file GH-VAIO [06:56] wolfwalker, transcoding between media codecs can be slow [06:56] wolfwalker: do you have lame installed? [06:57] <_Rambaldi_> i mean top part GH-VAIO [06:57] Apparently I do. Gstreamer will play mp3 files. [06:57] Can anyone help me out, I am installing Vmware-server and it is saying i am missing libXtst.so.6 but i cant seem to find any way to get this lib. plz help [06:57] nope it does not [06:58] <_Rambaldi_> now I am not quiet sure what you wanted to do in the first place GH-VAIO [06:58] How would I install what where? [06:58] Just open synaptic and search for lame?

[06:58] what's the best irc client? [06:58] Hmmmm....... [06:59] Thanks, will try [06:59] lavarock, epic5 [06:59] lavarock: gui or terminal? [06:59] alarmo lol [06:59] alarmowanna anny people [06:59] something that support file xfer well [06:59] alarmo that is very alarming ;) [06:59] Is there some way to set the default monitor brightness in Ubuntu? I can't seem to find an option anywhere. [06:59] hahaha [06:59] alarmo wanna annoy people redrec a dial modem [06:59] lavarock, like xdcc for file sharing networks? [06:59] maco, gui preferable:-) [06:59] lavarock: xchat? [06:59] I've got a fresh install of gutsy and i've just installed all the updates and enabled restricted drivers. Whenever i try to start firefox i get Bus error (core dumped) and it doesn't start. [06:59] alarmo and turn it up [06:59] Hi, I am setting up a LTSP system, I was wondering when you attach a printer to each client. Do all the printers appear in the print dialogs when trying to print from a client ? [06:59] uh Ubuntu froze when I was upgrading to hardy [06:59] what should I do ;_; [06:59] Olgem, yes, xdcc fserv etc [06:59] arcanistherogue: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support [06:59] oh ok [07:00] gogeta, actually first thing I tried was /dev/random... but it just looks like I don't generate enough entropy to make any sound... [07:00] alarmo, try /dev/urandom which doesn't need entropy [07:00] /dev/modem [07:00] lavarock, I hear xchat is the most popular so its bound to have some extensions/scripts to do it if not natively [07:00] and dialup [07:00] lol [07:00] hischild, I did it.... but it only generates a white noise [07:00] Olgem, ok i am using xchat, will try it out some more then:-) [07:01] it is odd to redirect /dev/psaux to sound too... [07:01] Don't just try it out, google for some scripts that can do fserv/xdcc, lavarock [07:01] it buffers a lot of mouse movements.. then discharge them all in a loud beep! [07:01] i just started katapult so it's running in the background, but i didn't catch the button combo to open it up [07:01] alarmo: try /dev/urandom [07:01] anyone know what it is? [07:01] alarmo lol [07:01] Boohbah, I did it... but it's only white noise.... [07:02] Olgem, Ok, I am very new to xchat [07:02] alarmo pretty cool to listion it my modem [07:02] but I don't have am odem :( [07:02] alarmom alot of diffrent sounds [07:02] alarmo lol everytime my dl slows down i hear it resync [07:03] hahahaha [07:03] alarmo hisssssss zzzzzzzzzzzt [07:04] i am a new ubuntu user [07:05] alarmo try cating your videocard lol [07:05] gogeta, I am trying to find it for a good 15 minutes already [07:05] <_Rambaldi_> hello ajesh [07:05] ajes welcom in ubuntusers [07:05] After i've installed all the updates and enabled restricted drivers, some programs appear to crash out of the blue.

[07:06] :D [07:06] Is there any way (maybe an easy front-end to iptables) to split/forward/bridge any interface to another, to have say a two-pc daisy chain to a gateway. I'm not sure if I can do this without setting up NAT. [07:06] Olgem, take a look at firestarter [07:07] Ok [07:07] ajesh sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:07] ajesh, try this... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [07:08] <_Rambaldi_> usually you try to play it and it will search and download codecs ajesh, what program are you using [07:08] How to start xchat minimized?

[08:00] Drunk, use sudo apt-get install eclipse [08:00] arvind_khadri, that's what i thought too [08:00] now it boots up to a screen full of garbage [08:00] Its a windows MMO creator tho :( [08:00] this is a completely different eclipse [08:00] !enter | RenaKunisaki [08:00] RenaKunisaki: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:01] and if I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 I get a different screen full of garbage [08:01] Drunk, *AT BEST* you'll be able to run it with wine [08:01] Auctionedllama: you have to enable it wait one let me check its been a while since i enabled that [08:01] kk [08:01] Daisuke_Ido, AFAIK eclipse is java IDE or something right?? [08:01] I get errors for some reason, says something about not being able to load the server and something about active X [08:01] that's always bugged me about compiles... no eta on completion [08:02] at least it's just amarok [08:02] ? [08:02] and not, say, all of kde [08:02] so does the nvidia driver not work? [08:02] how i install nvidia graphics card driver.. [08:02] i am newbie usr :( [08:02] Hey ya [08:03] Drunk, then you may have problems [08:03] i installed apache with LAMP but i am not quite sure were the config files are [08:03] samorpheus, go to System->Administration->Restricted drivers [08:03] Auctionedllama: ok in synaptic go to settings>preferences>General Tab then check box that says show package properties in main window [08:03] activex is a creation that should never have existed and that i cannot believe is still supported [08:03] Hmm how could I fix these [08:03] I'm New Here? any warm Welcome? [08:03] problems*? [08:03] Drunk, eclispe is a java IDE right?? [08:03] Im not really sure, but Im bet so [08:03] legend2440: k thanks mate [08:03] arvind_khadri, not in this case, it's a windows MMO scripting engine [08:04] Anyone here? [08:04] Daisuke_Ido, hmm let me google [08:04] hey, on my other laptop, i have sound, but the media players [08:04] dont [08:04] arvind_khadri it's checked [08:04] arvind_khadri, http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/ee.php [08:04] !ask | Firestorm [08:04] Firestorm: 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. :-) [08:04] legend2440: brb gotta login as root [08:04] save you some google-time [08:04] but is status name : not in use ? [08:04] arvind_khadri [08:04] Daisuke_Ido, :) i wanted to know whats mmo [08:05] Thx Arvind [08:05] let's try this again [08:05] hi all [08:05] Auctionedllama, NO. you never have to log in as root... that's just... *shudders* [08:05] samorpheus, check it to put it in use [08:05] Auctionedllama: why? [08:05] arvind_khadri, ahh... massively multiplayer online (rpg) [08:05] LOL a file is locked to root [08:05] I have to be root to edit it [08:05] sudo [08:05] Daisuke_Ido, oh ok [08:05] Hey My Microfone Dosent work does anyone know what to do please, tell me [08:05] use sudo Auctionedllama [08:06] LOL my bad I'm an idiot [08:06] ignore me [08:06] Auctionedllama: You don't need to be root, you can use sudo. And if its still locked, that means its most likely mounted read only. [08:06] !root | Auctionedllama [08:06] Auctionedllama: 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 [08:06] Auctionedllama: gksudo gedit [08:06] lol I know my root password [08:06] I changed it xD [08:06] I installed a GeForce 6200 and it couldn't find the driver so I manually selected the nv driver and rebooted and now it just shows a bunch of garbage on the screen even in the terminal [08:06] Would somebody that is skilled with ubuntu like to download Eclipse [http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/ee.php] and see how to get it to work? [08:06] if it uses activex, you probably will not be able to get it to work [08:06] I booted it in recovery mode and did dpkg-reconfigure xorg which doesn't seem to have done anything [08:07] !paste [08:07] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

I want to change the fonts to. [08:08] Drunk, still activex [08:09] chains, then you have to actually change the fonts in pidgin [08:09] chains, you mean the fonts used by the apps [08:09] Hmm, then what about the SoMx client not updating? I updated it on my windows comp and then sent it to myself, downloaded it on here and it still requirs an update. [08:09] chains, you need to set the fonts used by every app separately [08:09] It just hangs there forever when I try to update it as well... [08:09] i want to map every font used on my system to comic sans [08:10] ew [08:10] Drunk, answer was already given [08:10] well, i changed the apps font face with the appearance manager [08:10] Its a different game, Daisuke_Ido [08:10] ahh [08:10] so what's SoMx?

I enabled xglserver or w/e it is and its made stuff really choppy [08:42] Auctionedllama: maybe you dont really need xserver-xgl you installed earlier [08:42] Auctionedllama, because it enabled compiz now.

[08:58] RenaKunisaki, i think you dont have the drivers [08:58] bazhang, have a look at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63685/ please [08:59] Hey uh, you guys told me to disable xserver-xgl, so I did, and I can't get into ubuntu, its clashing with compiz.. how can I install the xserver from recovery mode? [08:59] xserver_xgl that is [08:59] Auctionedllama, sudo aptitude xserver-xgl [08:59] * [08:59] thanks his [08:59] sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl [08:59] Auctionedllama: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl [09:00] ok, installing [09:00] bazhang, the drivers for the card aint present right?? [09:00] arvind_khadri: you need to enable the restricted driver; currently that is the 'nv' only [09:00] bazhang, hmm i thought the drivers aint installed [09:00] Man, it seems as soon as I activate xserver-xgl, even if compiz isn't enable I lose massive performance.. even If I'm not running compiz.. is there any way around this? [09:00] Auctionedllama, i could say something like i told you so ... but please, would you mind pastebinning you xorg? sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [09:01] arvind_khadri: possibly not; check synaptic package manager and see if they are [09:01] Auctionedllama maynot be a compiz issue [09:01] RenaKunisaki, boot into the gnome session [09:01] ok.. one sec mate [09:01] hischild: hang on one sec mate, gotta reboot [09:01] Auctionedllama a confliting hostname will slow x to a crawl [09:01] bazhang, ok this is for someone else will check out and catch you up [09:01] gogeta: uhm what? [09:01] Auctionedllama, take your time. [09:02] gogeta: a conflicting hostname? you mean on the same network? [09:02] Auctionedllama yep [09:02] Auctionedllama, reboot, i'll explain as soon as you get back. [09:02] gogeta: well its not so xD [09:02] hischild: ok back in matey [09:02] um, crap [09:02] :-( [09:02] Auctionedllama, there's another file we need to check that. [09:02] I just realized I'm in #ubuntu when I should be in #xubuntu >_< [09:02] RenaKunisaki, did you boot in [09:02] ok now what his [09:02] im in [09:03] arvind_khadri, I'm at the login screen but I can't see it, still corrupt garbage [09:03] Auctionedllama, ok. Pastebin both your /etc/hosts and xorg.conf. sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit && cat /etc/hosts | pastebinit [09:03] also, what are the controls to flip the compiz cube? I can't do it with the middle mose [09:03] is that all one command? [09:03] RenaKunisaki, type your username and password [09:03] Auctionedllama, yup [09:03] arvind_khadri, I did [09:03] Auctionedllama, copy from the sudo aptitude till the very end [09:04] RenaKunisaki, so can you see the taskbar atleast?? [09:04] arvind_khadri, nope, just a blue screen with a lot of red and black dots in diagonal lines [09:04] arvind_khadri, second screen says out of range [09:05] RenaKunisaki, you need to enable your drivers and check for the refresh rate [09:05] arvind_khadri, the menu on the monitor says 1680x1050 60hz, don't know how to enable the drivers when I can't see === hanzz__ is now known as HanzZ [09:06] arvind_khadri, the first time it booted it loaded the vesa driver and worked, and it showed the "restricted drivers manager" and I enabled the NVidia driver there and rebooted, that's when it stopped working [09:07] RenaKunisaki, ohh ok [09:07] RenaKunisaki, somehow just disable it [09:08] arvind_khadri, I'll try changing the driver back in xorg.conf [09:08] Hey man, can you repost that long command? [09:08] Auctionedllama, sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit && cat /etc/hosts | pastebinit [09:08] if you have wireless don't "upgrade" to Hardy. i tried for 5 hours to get it working. no dice =( [09:08] RenaKunisaki, why dont you jus remove the card and boot back in ,jus a suggestion it may work [09:08] Hey, and what is the command for controlling the cube? the middle mouse button isn't working [09:09] want to talk about it in #ubuntu+1 ? [09:09] Auctionedllama, ctrl alt left and right [09:09] ctrl+alt+click and drag [09:09] RenaKunisaki, remove the drivers then and again put the card back,this time dont enable the restricted drivers [09:09] arvind_khadri, if I removed the card I'd have nothing to plug the monitor into, there's no onboard video [09:09] kindofabuzz: sorry that was meant for you [09:10] Guys, I thought this was supposed to form a cube.. not a flat panel.. but anyways his child that command is done [09:10] RenaKunisaki, hmm not even VGA [09:10] Auctionedllama, it should give you 2 links. Can give you give those? [09:10] ya [09:10] hey fellow ubuntuers [09:10] just went to them [09:10] http://paste.stgraber.org/2638 [09:10] http://paste.stgraber.org/2639 [09:11] bazhang, no help there, was in there for like 3 hours and maybe 3 people talked. not looking for help anymore, sticking with gutsy [09:11] Guys, on the vids I have seen, the cube is an actual cube, with 4 desktops.. can I ge tthat? [09:11] does anyone know a good chat site for linux/kubuntu newbies??? [09:11] kindofabuzz: ah okay; which card [09:11] arvind_khadri, nope; I just changed the "nv" to "vesa" in xorg.conf and will see if that helps [09:11] Auctionedllama, yes you can. Type ccsm and then in the top option look for desktop size. Set it at 4. [09:11] RenaKunisaki, yeah fine [09:11] Auctionedllama, is your pc called ubuntu? [09:11] linksys (broadcom) [09:11] hischild: yes.. [09:12] the most common one that don't work [09:12] Auctionedllama, ok that's good then. [09:12] is anyone else here new to ubuntu??? [09:12] RenaKunisaki, well i too had been in the same situation but wasnt this worse though ;) [09:12] Auctionedllama, are there any other pc's on the network that run ubuntu? [09:12] william: perhaps ##linux [09:12] hischild: I had formatted my drive so many times, I got tired of renaming it, so left it alone.. and if I had a X1650 pro (512 ram) how many fps should I be getting for the cube switcheroo? [09:12] and no [09:12] how do i find ##linux? [09:12] william click the link [09:12] arvind_khadri, is there maybe a way I can enable a VNC server and control it from another machine? [09:13] jhgujti [09:13] nice, thanks [09:13] william, /join ##linux [09:13] or that [09:13] ce_ajaaaaaaa: english please [09:13] hello are there alternatives to using mesa drivers? a game I play doesn't work well with them [09:13] Auctionedllama, i understand. You should be having quite a nice fps. You can check your fps by enabling the benchmark in ccsm and then starting it with the hotkey (check it under the appropriate tab) [09:13] RenaKunisaki, no idea about netwroking sorry [09:14] tsk, it's checking my 215GB partition, this is going to take forever >_< [09:14] but I can see the text, that's a good sign [09:14] RenaKunisaki, so the vesa thing worked?? [09:14] I don't see benchmark matey [09:14] arvind_khadri, not sure yet [09:15] off to install wubi back in a bit ;] [09:15] it wants to check the filesystem before booting [09:15] Auctionedllama, when you start up ccsm, on the main screen of it where you can enable/disable all the plugins etc, one of them should be a benchmark looking thing. [09:15] RenaKunisaki, hmm am holding on [09:15] whats its called/ [09:15] Auctionedllama, i'm not sure [09:15] this could take hours, is there a way to abort the filesystem check? [09:15] oh wait it sped up [09:16] RenaKunisaki, no [09:16] found it [09:16] if it doesn't slow down again it should only be a minute [09:16] ok I can't find the benchmark though [09:17] like on the sreen [09:17] I enabled it.. [09:17] Auctionedllama, if you click it to see the options, go to the shortcuts. There's a hotkey to enable it. [09:17] hi - i've just installed ubuntu 7.10 on a laptop, when I go to add prgrammes it keeps saysing list of applications not available. i click refresh, it downloads then same thing....any ideas? [09:18] broonsparrow, enable the repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list [09:18] also I am using an nvidia card [09:18] that's so stupid they're not enabled by default in Gutsy [09:18] kindofabuzz, whats not enabled??? [09:19] the repos people need to download stuff, updates aren't even enabled by default [09:19] Ya.. whenever I click actions all my textures get screwed up and I can't read anything [09:19] RenaKunisaki, over?? [09:19] kindofabuzz, well the updates come in when you enable the repos [09:19] broonsparrow, enable the repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list [09:19] arvind_khadri, bunch of filesystem errors on this disk that it wants to fix >_< [09:20] RenaKunisaki, hmm must be the inode clusters [09:20] Ok.. this is Gay.. can someone check the hotkey to activate the benchmark for me/ [09:21] arvind_khadri, it's EXT2, I had copied a bunch of files to it in Windows using a supposedly stable driver, apparently that didn't work [09:21] but I can just format it and re-copy them [09:21] Hey.. can someone tell me the hotkey for the compiz benchmark? I can't access it to see [09:21] except fsck has already decided to fix it [09:21] cheers. i'll try that [09:21] can i run in virtual box an already windowsxp partition? [09:22] RenaKunisaki, you mean the ubuntu drive?? [09:22] arvind_khadri, the /home partition [09:22] cvd-pr, you mean VMware?? [09:22] RenaKunisaki, ohh ok... [09:22] virtualbox [09:23] hi, who can i ask a question about vlc and sound device drivers [09:23] !ask | motoct [09:23] motoct: 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. :-) [09:23] cvd-pr, i dont think you can [09:23] one other thing the laptop display only works when i have a video cable plugged into the video output - any ideas why? it works fine running on live CD just not when I've installed onto hdd [09:24] looks like a bunch of Japanese filenames got corrupted in the copy [09:24] broonsparrow, reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:24] cvd-pr: you may have heard of the command "dd". but i think in the end it would not work, because winxp detects that the hardware from virtualbox is not the same as the original install. licence problems could arise then [09:24] RenaKunisaki, hmm [09:25] Hi, when I insert a cd/dvd , it was not automatically mounted even if I clicked on the recognised CD/DVD icon, so I tried changing /etc/sudoers and changed it as you can see it here, now it can be mounted via terminal using sudo mount /dev/cdrom but it can't be mounted in Gnome either. I had similar problems with running programs like users-admin via gui and I saw an error saying::: [09:25] ok, it's done, rebooting [09:25] gregory, isnt virtual box something like VMware [09:25] XAutorization file couldn't be copied [09:25] Auctionedllama: super(windows key)+F12 if you have Benchmarks clicked [09:25] i have a usb radio device. when plugged in, you get /dev/dsp1. i played it in VLC (by selecting "audio device name"). i closed vlc and when i reopened it, it doesn't play the device anymore. i do hear static from the speakers. anyone has any idea what happened? [09:25] probably that driver doesn't work with Unicode properly [09:25] I could solve the last problem by running XServer scripts mode in user login [09:25] but the first problem has still remained [09:25] my config files: [09:25] http://nopaste.com/p/aukjvVDnw [09:25] I think it is a problem with my XServer or Gnome [09:25] because everything goes well in terminal [09:26] legend2440: that didn;t work D: [09:26] arvind_khadri: yes, wikipedia: virtualbox [09:26] wow it just made everything REALLY laggy [09:26] gregory AFAIK you cant VMware a already installed XP [09:26] RenaKunisaki, is it working now?? [09:26] woa [09:26] Everything is so laggy all of a sudden [09:26] !!!!! [09:27] arvind_khadri, yes, it's up again [09:27] hi i just installed my gforce 7900 gs and now my sound dont work [09:27] back to the vesa driver and I can see things [09:27] !netsplit [09:28] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:28] Help man [09:28] how do you like rotate the screen? [09:28] I am getting like 3 FPS !

[10:10] Just upgraded to Hardy and I have an issue with Firefox, pretty sure it's leftover from some crap that Automatix did to my system a while back... basically, I think /usr/bin/firefox is linked to the wrong place since I'd had to adjust that manually to fix Automatix's mess. Can someone tell me what /usr/bin/firefox should be linked to in a standard Hardy install?

[10:50] my config files: [10:50] d === yacc_ is now known as yacc [10:51] When I first load X after a restart my resolution is as I had set it but it only shows it square and not filling the full width of the screen. In order to change this I must change the resolution and then re-set it to what I had for it to occupy the whole screen. Any ideas? [10:52] soroush, seems like you are not there in the admin group [10:52] tomolds, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:52] magnetron: esd is like alsa, i.e. only one of them should be used, right? [10:52] foo-nix: no [10:52] foo-nix: use any of them. [10:52] magnetron: I shut down kmix and swapped amarok to alsa, now music is playing, only it can not be heard. [10:52] soroush, jus boot into recovery and issue adduser admin [10:53] magnetron: but esound is a framework just like alsa, wont they conflict? [10:53] soroush, then log back into X [10:53] arvind_khadri: http://nopaste.com/p/a8jFavEEU [10:53] soroush, jus boot into recovery and issue adduser admin [10:53] foo-nix: they won't conflict if you set esound to use alsa [10:53] foo-nix, do u have more then 1 sound device? eg, a sound card and onboard sound ? [10:53] bod_: No, I ahve one onboard card (laptop [10:53] arvind_khadri: it's not the problem. I can do anything through command line except su however I can do sudo [10:54] soroush, can you do sudo -s [10:54] Some time ago I did some kernel module stuff to fix a ubuntu bug on sound, but it did not work. [10:54] I had the same problem then (never got to fix it) [10:54] soroush, the terminal should turn to # [10:54] thx for no answer [10:55] l33et, u were given an answer [10:55] arvind_khadri: I'm already in admin group and even I can run sudo users-admin but sudo -s doesn't work [10:55] !attitude | l33et [10:55] l33et: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [10:55] soroush, ok then run sudo users-admin [10:56] arvind_khadri: http://nopaste.com/p/ab0O0zymT [10:56] soroush, there click on the account you want to edit [10:56] arvind_khadri: I can login to root terminal [10:56] my question again: do i have to type the password for wlan everytime i connect ? [10:56] l33et, no [10:56] !gq [10:56] Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question. [10:56] arvind_khadri: doing [10:56] winXp automatically detects if wlan is avaible and connects itsels [10:57] Hi. I have a second partition that I mount only every so-often. When I browse through a folder with mixed contents, the 'Type' column only changes to the correct type when I highlight a file. This means that before I can sort by the type column I must first highlight over every file by holding the down arrow. This doesn't seem right. In addition, when I leave the folder and return the 'Type' column data has not been retained. What Is causing this problem? [10:57] but in ubuntu it won´t when ssid broadcast was disabled [10:57] l33et, linux is not windows -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [10:57] soroush, then click on the properties,then open the user priveleges under that [10:57] u r so clever [10:57] bazhang: after using the commands (sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras) its installed and now a new window in terminal (configuring sun java 6bin) is open asking to click OK, i press enter many times but i am ubable to press ok in the terminal... wha to do ? close the terminal? if i close terminal the downloading process will stop ?

[11:01] soroush, hmm well i really cant picture what you are trying to do....are you unhappy that cd isnt mounting automatically [11:02] arvind_khadri: i'm angry with cd problem! I have to go to command line to mount it [11:02] I am new to Ubuntu, and I decided to install it today, because the new canidate release. How should I partition my hard drive? I'm plannin to use 10gb for Ubuntu alone. I read I need home, ext3 and such. Anybody?

I can use my Netear card fine, but I'm having trouble with the Mecury one [11:02] how do i install templates for joomla 1.5.2? [11:03] arvind_khadri: I have to use command line to launch software managers. I have to do all of them in terminal also I have gnome desktop installed [11:03] G-Oker: did u try google first?

[11:04] arvind_khadri: :) i am not good in computers :) [11:04] I expect gnome to be able to do it [11:04] I need to factor a large number with pyecm that I expect will take a few days. I would like to be able to stop/resume this process when required (eg shutting down). Is this possible? [11:04] yer, lost of windows drives, but nothing to help me re: Gusty [11:04] arvind_khadri: it is 7.10 and it worked well 1 months ago [11:04] arvind_khadri: wow its done [11:04] thanks [11:04] soroush, gnome doesnt do that nautilus does it [11:04] Oprtz, thats ok....most of the people get stuck in ncurses ;) [11:05] G-Oker: well, do this on the google search window - ubuntu: [then put your keyword here] [11:05] Oprtz, i too used too ;) :D [11:05] arvind_khadri: :) [11:05] !joomla 1.5 [11:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about joomla 1.5 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:05] Tried that, but I got no joy, except ref: to this IRC channel [11:06] soroush, what changes did you do to the system??

[11:35] ExT-, maybe, depends what the problem is ;~) [11:35] because i lost hope :) [11:36] Oprtz, aah you cant loose so easily it has to work [11:36] i have a really tricky command line problem i need help with please, i have 2 directory trees (with files), and i want to replace one tree with the other including all files apart from those files called .svn, is this possible with cp? [11:36] Oprtz, will get back to you soon ;) [11:36] arvind_khadri: i thought i am bothering u , asking so many questions [11:36] bod_ it must be a very simple problem. the things is I am a begginer. I downloaded an .iso with a live CD to try Ubuntu [11:36] arvind_khadri: ty dude [11:36] ExT-, ok, no probs, where are you stuck? [11:36] thing is I burned the image but when I reboot with the cd in the tray nothing happens [11:36] Oprtz, aah i just love being here [11:37] then I tried to boot the cd [11:37] ExT-, did you change the system bios to boot from cd before hard drive? [11:37] ExT-, did you burn the image on cd or did you burn the iso-FILE on cd? [11:37] bod_ no [11:37] I burned the iso like an image I believe [11:38] ExT-, make sure your system bios boots cd's before hard drives, and take a look at what Ponny said, [11:38] ExT-, just change the bios and you should et the cd to boot ;~) [11:38] ok Oprtz lets start from the begining did you do any changes to your system...jus do one thing PM what all you did,a lot of reverse engg to be done ;) [11:39] arvind_khadri, lool, we spend half the time undoing things ;~) [11:39] bod_ but I think I already installed something [11:39] bod_, :) cant help ...most of the errors crop up due to the changes [11:39] how do i tell ubuntu to use my pcmcia soundcard [11:39] Where are the bloody developers?! I want to wring them for some of their decisions!! [11:39] how can I drag a selection rectangle in nuatilus? [11:40] ExT-, if you just wanted to try ubuntu, you can play with it while your running windows, just load the cd in windows as if it was a game and you'll et an intereactive walkthrouh type thin [11:40] ExT-, whhat do you mean? you installed what? [11:40] tuntun, that would be in #nautilus-devel ;) [11:40] I did a reboot with the cd in the tray [11:40] but nothing happened [11:41] then I went to my computer and runned the cd [11:41] and followed some steps [11:41] ok, well, since no one's prepared to gimme an answer, i'll answer my own question. fire up gconf-editor, go to /desktop/gnome/connected_servers and delete the offending subfolder. [11:41] which said [11:42] "Help me boot from the cd" [11:42] When i run fullscreen applications (ie games, screensaver) in ubuntu 7.10 i can see applications that are currently not in focus through the fullscreen application [11:42] Sinnerman, yer, thatt'l work ;~) [11:42] and then something was installed, like a game [11:42] anyone got an idea on how to fix? [11:43] Moppa, you mean you have a transparent screen [11:43] bod_: ha ha. [11:43] ExT-, i dont think anything has happened, so we will start from the beginning, step 1, download the iso -- step 2 burn the image to cd, step 3 place cd in drive and reboot, step 4 change system biuos to boot from cd, step5 cd should boot [11:43] ok [11:43] I will try it now [11:43] brb [11:43] Hi all . . . so I'm trying to install Ubuntu Studio from the DVD, and unfortunately I'm not getting very far . . . it gets to the point where it SHOULD start the installation dialogue (with the nice blue background), but it doesn't. It just hangs with the screen completely blank. The last thing the boot log shows is a line with klogd and syslogd, and then the screen flickers and goes blank. [11:43] I have tested the DVD on another computer - it works fine. So this might be a hardware problem with mine . . . ugh. [11:43] Any ideas? [11:43] bod_: only caveat. you can't delete a 'folder' apparently.

[12:08] take er easy dudes [12:09] arvind_khadri: Yup, so will the final version of FF3 be distributed through the regular repos or via backports ? [12:09] Hi. I have a second partition that I mount only every so-often. When I browse through a folder with mixed contents, the 'Type' column only changes to the correct type when I highlight a file. This means that before I can sort by the type column I must first highlight over every file by holding the down arrow. This doesn't seem right. In addition, when I leave the folder and return the 'Type' column data has not been retained. What Is causing this problem? I [12:09] made a post about it at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4745733#post4745733 [12:09] Idan, normal ones i guess .... #ubuntu+1 will be insterested [12:09] shardik: why do you want to run it in wine? use a linux torrent client. i think µturrent is working with linux directly [12:09] Would someone know what pulseaudio is?

[12:13] no but i think my system is ....ed [12:13] shardik: well, this shouldnt be the reason. linux torrent clients can do everything win clients can do, too. wine is slowing it down for no reason. but, try "wine /home/[username]/.utorrent/utorrent.exe" or so [12:13] it lags when it starts [12:13] yes i think [12:13] it opens up and it takes like 10 mins for it to fully start [12:14] BenTheMan,can you do this sudo -s the $ should change to # [12:14] CalvinDK_, ifconfig -a does it show eth0??/ [12:15] Can someone recommend an Ubuntu alternative for EViews?

[12:34] ... damn. anyhow, thanks for your help [12:34] i noticed the same thing with 7.10 as well [12:34] kelvin911: not necessarily [12:34] árvind_khadri> I get an error while getting interface flags: No such device [12:35] msingh, vim is also but its not GUI so no menu entry ;) [12:35] When i run fullscreen applications (ie games, screensaver) in ubuntu 7.10 i can see applications that are currently not in focus through the fullscreen application. it is not transparent, the applications sort of flickers through. it is not compizrelated because i have completely removed compiz and still the same thing [12:35] :) [12:35] The network card is on the motherboard [12:35] AlexQ: how the heck did you break util-linux? [12:35] so nothing i can do except restart? [12:35] CalvinDK_, paste your ifconfig [12:35] kelvin911, or wait and let init take care of it.. [12:35] http://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotju2.png [12:35] !paste | CalvinDK_ [12:35] CalvinDK_: 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) [12:35] Amaranth: I think it has happened when auto-updating system using the update manager... [12:35] Moppa: that's caused by compiz or a similar composite manager [12:35] it just stuck there [12:35] AlexQ: this is not likely [12:36] how to minimize or kill that fullscreen window? [12:36] AlexQ: is util-linux installed? [12:36] crdlb - i have a quite fresh ubuntu install. and have removed compiz from the system. any other ideas? [12:36] Amaranth: How do I check? [12:36] can i use force quit? [12:36] Moppa: you removed compiz-core ? [12:37] AlexQ, apt-cache policy util-linux [12:37] AlexQ: dpkg -l util-linux [12:37] last time i remocved compiz - it goofed up a lot of other things.. i forget what i had to do to fix it. [12:37] Moppa: it would be more productive to just run 'metacity --replace' though [12:37] crdlb - no, i will try that. [12:37] AlexQ: should have an ii next to it [12:37] Moppa: actually Dr_willis is right, don't do that [12:37] compiz is rather integrated into gnome [12:37] if you remove it login takes like 2 minutes longer than normal, for example [12:37] crdlb - ok, better to run metacity --replace? [12:38] Hi... is blueman supported on Ubuntu? [12:38] chazco, whats that?? [12:38] you can of course remove it but only if you know what you're doing [12:38] crdlb, :) I did fix it.. i just dont rember how/what. [12:38] Amaranth - ah, i see. [12:38] Moppa: yes, or just set Visual Effects to None in System > Preferences > Appearance [12:38] can i force quit? [12:38] arvind_khadri - A bluetooth control center [12:38] chazco: it works but it is not supported [12:38] Amaranth: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63697/ [12:38] kelvin911: try xkill [12:38] Ah... was hoping it may be in the repos :( [12:38] has lots of bugs still, but it has a good future [12:38] crdlb - ok, will try that too :). thanks for your help [12:39] they have their own repos, but as I said, it can be pretty unstable [12:39] xkill 7551 ? [12:39] hubuntu_ - Ah... it has bugs... maybe not then [12:39] Amaranth: I think it is installed, but it isn't possible to reinstall it etc. i think [12:39] keep yourself to gnome-bkuetooth handling [12:39] AlexQ: you need to run that as "LANG=C apt-cache policy util-linux" [12:39] AlexQ: I don't speak the language you use :) [12:39] hubuntu_ - With the current setup its quite tricky to use bluetooth PANs and so on [12:39] Amaranth: I know, i know :) [12:39] Hardy and eventually Intrepid will bring us better bluetooth supportin network connections (GPRS mainly) [12:40] and with the new gnome virtual file system bluetooth support will be easier to develop [12:40] hubuntu_: that really has nothing to do with it [12:40] high-freq, is there a way to run sudo from my user without having to always type the password? [12:40] chazco: I know, PANs are really problematic [12:40] Amaranth: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63698/ - heres in eng [12:40] agg [12:40] kill -9 did the job [12:41] AlexQ: not installed [12:41] Hello, is there a way to run sudo from my user without having to always type the password? [12:41] AlexQ that means its not installed [12:41] AlexQ: how did you manage to uninstall an Essential package? [12:41] hubuntu_ - I was surprised that the support for bluetooth was so poor in Ubuntu... [12:41] Amaranth: I understood it like that when talking to devs, I might have misunderstood ;) [12:41] let try to run the game again [12:41] or linux in general even [12:41] Amaranth: I dont know, but how to repair it? [12:41] alexMK, the sudo and sudoers file has options for that. check the sudo manpages, and google for sudo ussage :) [12:41] AlexQ: apt makes you type in 'Yes, do as I say!' to make it do that because it is unwise to do so [12:42] crdlb - setting visual effects to none worked :). [12:42] but Hardy WILL bring us better bluetooth connections, at least with phones and cards thorug NetworkManager [12:42] alexMK, it would be considered a bad thing from a security point of view.. (but i do it that way also on some machines) [12:42] Amaranth: I don't remember that I have done it... Is it possible to repair it or not? [12:42] AlexQ: grab http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/util-linux/util-linux_2.13-8ubuntu1_i386.deb and see if you can install it manually [12:42] rothchild: does that video work for you ? I have installed w32codecs from medibuntu but it doesnt help :( [12:42] chazco, there is bluemon here in ubuntu [12:42] chazco: I believe it is pretty good, but it need a lot of tweaking... The stack is there to do anything you want [12:43] AlexQ: Never removed an Essential package before so I'm in new territory [12:43] Amaranth: I'll try, but i think it wouldn't be possible [12:43] Hi. I have a second partition that I mount only every so-often. When I browse through a folder with mixed contents, the 'Type' column only changes to the correct type when I highlight a file. This means that before I can sort by the type column I must first highlight over every file by holding the down arrow. This doesn't seem right. In addition, when I leave the folder and return the 'Type' column data has not been retained. What Is causing this problem? I [12:43] made a post about it at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4745733#post4745733 [12:43] damn vice city freezes again [12:43] I meant Intrepid with NetMan... [12:43] i can get it run 3 hours ago [12:43] The actual support i guess s there, it just seems really poor compared to some of the Windows offerings (lots and lots of config for simple tasks) [12:43] kelvin911, you did check the wine app database? the game may ned some tweaks. [12:43] when i go surfing internet ,my browser always shut down by itself .I want to recovery it to default configurations,but I don't know how can I do that ?anyone here can tell me ? [12:43] Amaranth: Mhm, i have AMD64, another link, plz? [12:43] AlexQ: the reason mkinitramfs is failing like this instead of giving dependency errors is because a system without an Essential package installed is considered a very broken system [12:43] i was playing that game 3 hours ago [12:43] Amaranth: Found something like the screenshot you sent me , look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241868 [12:43] AlexQ: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/util-linux/util-linux_2.13-8ubuntu1_amd64.deb [12:43] chazco: try to see all bluetooth related packages in synaptic and/or aptitude [12:44] you'll be suprised of all the offerings [12:44] Dr_willis, from a security point of view ;) other people would still need to be able to acces my user account first [12:44] Amaranth: Thx, im trying [12:44] 7736 ? SLl 0:27 C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice [12:44] 7739 ? Ss 0:03 /usr/bin/../lib/../bin/wineserver [12:44] 7793 ? SLsl 0:00 c:\windows\system32\explorer.exe /desktop [12:44] hubuntu_ - I have most of them installed, its still very tricky... having to use the console to connect to my phone is annoying [12:44] what does it mean SLI ? [12:44] Ss? [12:44] Amaranth: "Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'linux32'... Is it an reason? [12:45] alexMK, Time to read up on sudo ! go for it. :0 dont blame us if your pc explodes. :P [12:45] and give blueman a shot, It does work, just use the stable package and you'll see. The problem is with some devices (BT PCMCIA) but if yourBT is built-in it should do fine [12:45] Anyway, thanks :) [12:45] chazco: I know, I do it myself... [12:45] Dr_willis, wtf, the /etc/sudoers file MUST be edited with visudo ? [12:45] AlexQ: did this happen during a distribution upgrade? [12:45] AlexQ: like 7.10 to 8.04 [12:45] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63699/ [12:45] .. [12:45] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63699/ [12:45] kelvin911 - if you got questions about wine i think tou should turn to #winehq [12:45] Dr_willis, that's text editor monopoly :) [12:46] Amaranth: * a reason? So, i have to uninstall linux32? Maybe it has happened when I was trying to install flash on my AMD [12:46] alexMK, thats the 'most secure' way. and if you mess up that file.. you will break sudo.. so thus you cant sudo to fix it back. [12:46] Amaranth, it's called Gnome Global Menu [12:46] let me try to restart my computer === insiderboy is now known as chatsiri [12:46] AlexQ: linux32 is a part of util-linux [12:46] when i go surfing internet ,my browser always shut down by itself .I want to recovery it to default configurations,but I don't know what should I do .anyone here can tell me ? [12:46] Amaranth: But i Cant install it, it returns that error. [12:46] alexMK, you dont HAVE to use it.. but its safest to do so. [12:46] floating sorry which video? [12:46] AlexQ: ok, let's get you a working system, then you can clean it up [12:47] Dr_willis: I know :) I always use mcedit [12:47] with w32codecs but the stream(after ad) is not working: http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=1929421&ch=1929421&src=deeurosport [12:47] AlexQ: sudo dpkg -i --force-all [12:47] CalvinDK_, what modem....is it a USB one?? [12:47] alexMK, ive been using 'fte' more and more lately [12:47] AlexQ: never ever use that command again :) [12:48] Hi!

It returns no errors. So, now try to install eg. k3b? Or sth? [12:49] CalvinDK_, modem company give me comlete details [12:49] floating I just get a message saying I can't view it because of my geo location (in the UK) [12:49] BTW I also tried to configure VGA manually and I did not find any 950 in the Intel VGA list, there are only 94 and 965 [12:49] Dr_willis: haven't heard of that one, I'm not much of a programmer, I reaaally keep it simple :P [12:50] rothchild: http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=1929371&ch=1929371&src=ukeurosport do you get stream from here.. maybe le mans here but still [12:51] Dr_willis: I just keep thanking ubuntu and apt, 3 secs and I downloaded and installed fte :) F.. you fedora and yum!

[12:53] can somebody reach http://arvind.gotdns.org ? [12:53] zaputr, if its ntfs. reboot to windows, have windows check it/scandisk it.. reboot back to linux and let linux mount it. is the 'best' way [12:53] floating no dice here :-( [12:54] I have not any windows on my laptop [12:54] I am trying to install Gutsy Gibbon on Gigabyte motherboard with Intel GMA 950 VGA but Gutsy says that it can not detect AGP and exits.

I tried almost everything to install it on my 64 bit system [12:57] ce_luvy [12:57] I am trying to install Gutsy Gibbon on Gigabyte motherboard (GA-945GCM-S2C) with Intel GMA 950 VGA but Gutsy says that it can not detect AGP and exits.

[13:01] hey, i have an application that does a fork() and then a system() call, trying to open a file in /tmp/foobar/meh.log with gedit. It just wont open the file, but just "permission denied" gets printed on the screen, even though the files are readable for everyone. Any ideas? [13:01] AlexQ: yeah, it will be updated soon [13:02] AlexQ: adobe updated their flash again so the package has to be upgraded [13:02] Amaranth: I know that this is the reason... Isn't it possible to ask Adobe to develop md5sums in other file to check or sth? I think they're very good for Open Source :). [13:03] dear god drag-and-drog is woeful!! [13:03] nsnf ? [13:03] I am trying to install ubuntu over a lan to other machines in my lab. I am following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer?highlight=%28pxe%29. The dhcp server is working because when I 'boot from lan' from the client it discovers the dhcp servers ip and then gets an ip in the proper range. But then it says TFTP.....timed out. And then again TFTP.... And nothing happens. My /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, /etc/inetd .conf and apache stuff is [13:03] manado [13:03] OK, bye [13:04] I'm trying to create a desktop launcher for a java app [13:04] java -jar MovieManager.jar [13:04] the damn thing won't run....although I can click right in choose run with sun java 6 [13:05] someone?

The server plus my lan machines are all inside the same switch. [13:08] sdakak ok , im new here and was just a thought. but my router has an option to disable the tftp on my LAN. [13:08] alchemist_08: I am inside the same switch. Nothing goes to the router. Hope someone turns up [13:08] anyone on the java app?

But it says I can force a mount, but when I try to force it it says I need root access? How do I get root access? [13:45] lartza_, google earth is in medibuntu [13:45] superactive: err restart it ;) [13:45] Ravenkin: by using sudo [13:45] arvind_k: But it doesnt maen it works on my PC [13:45] trollinator: tried sudo before the command, didn't work [13:45] lartza_, i hope you are using ubuntu?? [13:45] Ravenkin: try a root shell (sudo -s) [13:45] !root | Ravenkin [13:45] Ravenkin: 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 [13:45] can anyone tell me if there is a bug or issue with 7.10 and networking? my install was running fine and now my local network is running really slow, tried re-install and new nic card but its still slow [13:46] Ravenkin: sudo mount /media/hda1 [13:46] ? [13:46] arvind_k: Yea, but its because of cpu [13:46] they said 4.3 requires atleast P4 [13:46] lartza_, hmm [13:46] that's what i understanded [13:46] my NetworkManager doesn't work. nm-tool says "print_devices(): didn't get a reply from NetworkManager.". Does anybody know this error? [13:46] gregory lol that's awesome [13:46] lartza_, no idea [13:46] Ravenkin: not my text [13:46] arvind_k: But i-ll try the medibuntu one, thanks for reminding [13:47] so Im getting a list of updates for my laptop but I also get a warning that the updates cant be authenticated whats up with that?

[13:48] x0x OMFG ive downloaded printer drivetrs for windows at over 200mb.. :) [13:48] :P [13:49] Well thanks anyway guys, just going to reformat it anyway. Microsoft's support actually caused my windows to crash. Think I'm done with them. [13:49] lartza_ yeah but rsync and the update manager? [13:49] Ravenkin, if you install the ntfsprogs package, you can use ntfsfix to repair the volume [13:49] IceKing: Then no idea [13:49] x0x: wine is a near full implementation of several different versions of windows, so it's understandable that it is a bit hefty. [13:49] unop_ thanks I'll try that [13:50] Ravenkin, reformatting is really overkill for something as simple as this [13:50] pajamian how fine is the wine these days? [13:50] IceKing: No sound... [13:50] IceKing: hehehe [13:50] IceKing, still not very good [13:50] ty astro76 === x0x is now known as xx0xx [13:50] unop_ Well I can't get into windows period.

[13:52] arvind_k: Well, there is no newest googleearth on medibuntu [13:52] seriouslycgi, what is "seriously slow", define it? [13:52] 10-40kbytes [13:52] But it's still newest than my previous [13:52] lartza_, hmm [13:52] unop_ Well Windows won't let me in, so I can't restart it in order to shut it down properly, so I was going to try and force mount it in Ubuntu so I can see if there was anything I really wanted to save, but I pretty much use Ubuntu now, so there shouldn't be anything there anywya [13:52] and ssh takes ages to respond [13:52] I'm not sure if it would work from medibuntu if it was newest since the official wont work [13:53] hi all [13:53] hi [13:53] Has anyone got sound in wine? [13:53] who now how i can scrol the list of users in weechat [13:53] Ravenkin, sudo aptitude install ntfsprogs; sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXX # where sdXX is the device representing the windows volume [13:54] vova_kubba: Type /who [13:54] mAlEm cEmUa...... [13:54] lartza_: yep, sound works just fine in wine for me. [13:54] unop_, 10-40kbytes, and ssh takes ages to respond, pings are around 1000ms, previously its was fast and fine.

Also, make sure it's not HW related, I know you tried a new NIC, but also try a new ethernet cable, different port on router/hub/switch/whatever, etc. [13:55] LordMetroid, the core stuff to compile C programs is not included. install 'build-essential' package.

I have a question that can only be asked when I am to sleep deprived to think :-). How do you untar something into a specific directory? [14:20] plop irc [14:20] so how to install back the old verison 0.9.46 that is in ubuntu add/remove?

[14:21] elmer see this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/157959 [14:21] then remove wine and install it again. [14:21] how and where? [14:21] my NetworkManager doesn't work. nm-tool says "print_devices(): didn't get a reply from NetworkManager.". Does anybody know this error? [14:22] hello [14:22] kelvin911: System / Administration / Software Sources [14:22] kongove hello [14:22] fluxbow --replace says other wm is already running [14:22] kelvin911: rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list [14:22] sdakak, two things, verify that the tftp server is up and running on the server deploying the boot image out, and that the DHCP server is configured with the right boot image [14:22] kelvin911: then monitor winehq and re-enable it when 0.9.60 comes out. [14:23] I cant get frostwire to work, nothing happens when I click on it, alt-f2 doesn't work, and when I try to run it in terminal, I get error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63716/ [14:23] fluxbox --replace says other wm is already running, how xan i fix this? [14:23] tekteen method or pajamian method? [14:23] kelvin911: either method works [14:23] mine is one command [14:23] both work [14:24] How long have you use linux system? [14:24] kelvin911: you will need to put sudo in front of tekteen's command, though. [14:24] maybe missing that lib quoted near the top of your pastebin barbedsaber [14:24] kongove: Was that a general question for all? [14:24] pajamian: thanks [14:24] IceKing, screw this. I'm downloading Thunderbird. I wanted to use it anyway. [14:24] now how to install back the old version 0.9.46? [14:24] unop__: both servers are up, and the image is also right. I am exhausted. please help. [14:25] Yes [14:25] barbedsaber see if you do have /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/motif21/libmawt.so [14:25] sorry, i dont know what you mean IceKing [14:25] kelvin911: remove wine [14:25] after i delete the list file do i goto add/remove and search for wine? [14:25] * sdakak ikonia [14:25] Hey, I'm having some trouble setting up a static ip and forwarding the ports I need for Azureus... can anyone help? [14:25] kelvin911: then run sudo apt-get update [14:25] kelvin911: then sudo apt-get install wine [14:25] look in the folder:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/motif21/ [14:25] on you r disc [14:25] weirdest thing: my headless server has just the ability to connect to the interneT [14:25] Float:config it into files [14:25] it works in LAN but it's unable to ping google's ip [14:26] cue if anyone finds this time-wasting worthy [14:26] barbedsaber and look there for a file called libmawt.so [14:26] sdakak, i've never done netboots with linux - can't really help you with the details - use a tftp client on the tftp server and try and connect to the tftp "share" - verify that the boot image is included in that dir. [14:26] kongove: I have used about year and a half [14:26] sdakak, if you have any firewalls, ensure that they accomodate tftp [14:26] Latza:I am Chinese,where are you from? [14:28] When I try to edit /etc/network/interfaces, there is a lot less in the file then this site says there should be. [14:28] I have /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386 but no motif21 [14:28] unop__: all this is under one switch, so no firewalls in between. [14:28] hello, im trying to mount an ext hard drive via the terminal, i think first i need to edit [14:28] etc/fstab, ie how do i sort out root privileges and editing fstab [14:28] kelvin911: you can run these commands, if you want... [14:28] kelvin911: sudo apt-get remove wine [14:28] Can you use fluxbox as a window manager? [14:28] sdakak, i mean, on the server itself, things like iptables [14:28] kelvin911: sudo apt-get update [14:28] barbedsaber frostwire seems to want that lib [14:28] kelvin911: sudo apt-get install wine [14:28] so, do I aot-get it [14:29] maybe it lives somewhere else on your disc [14:29] i reinstall 0.9.46 but the game is still unplayable [14:29] kelvin911: try re-installing the game, then. [14:29] kelvin: all programs wont owrk on wine [14:29] which mp3 player is the most used one by ubuntu/linux users? i guess it's the ipod (seems to offer the most gb per $) ... but i'm looking for a player that's flash-based (and has a good gb/$ value). which one would you recommend? [14:29] kelvin911: also, maybe the problem wasn't the new version of wine. [14:29] kongove@ubuntu:~/Desktop/pigeons/pigeons/src$ wine --version [14:29] wine-0.9.46 [14:29] ratatosk: ipod :D [14:30] ratatosk: nano and shuffle have flash [14:30] Float: By default it's fairly sparse. You can fill it in though. [14:30] You may can not install last wine by apt [14:30] kongove: sure you can [14:30] ok 348 files could not be downloaded using jigdo . what is to be done ? can be it done by rsync ? [14:30] download the source codes,and complise it . [14:30] unop__: I have manually turned it off from firestarter. [14:31] kongove: you just follow the directions here: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [14:31] the game rtcw works fine [14:31] unop__: And I can get ip/ubuntu from other lan machines browser window too [14:31] sdakak, can you connect to tftp on the same machine? [14:31] I searched for it in tracker, and got nothing. I tried to apt-get it, but it doesn;t exist [14:31] until i install 0.9.59 [14:31] then everything screw up [14:31] you can install previous wine version by manual install (download deb to desktop and double click [14:31] Float: this might help: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [14:31] kelvin911: did you check the appdb for the game? [14:31] now i install back the previous version [14:31] kongove: why source code ? go here http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html and get the proper deb package [14:31] but the game is bad now [14:31] rtcw was fine [14:32] i was playing it for the past week [14:32] lordleemo: why a deb package when there's a repo? [14:32] until i update it hrs ago [14:32] Oh,yes.I means using the default source.list [14:32] ok 348 files could not be downloaded using jigdo . what is to be done ? can be it done by rsync ? [14:32] anybody? [14:32] pajamian: sorry you are correct however better a deb than build the source [14:32] which game do you want to install by wine? === Mist3riosam3nt3 is now known as Solarity [14:33] i guess i am going to try restart the computer and see what happen [14:33] iceking, where r u [14:33] zionpsyfer: I've been to that site... maybe I'm just not understanding this. [14:34] What do the @@ things in the bzr diff mean? [14:34] zionpsyfer: the only thing in the file is "auto lo [14:34] iface lo inet loopback [14:34] " [14:35] unop__: how do i do that? [14:35] ... [14:36] lartza_: ipod nano or shuffle are very neat (and well supported under linux, apparently) but they're a bit overpriced for my taste... i'm surprised there isn't a standard device people immediately recommend (like the wrt54gl when it comes to routers) [14:36] Float: Could you pastebin it for me? [14:36] hello, im trying to mount an ext hard drive via the terminal, i think first i need to edit etc/fstab, ie how do i sort out root privileges and editing fstab, anyone know how? [14:36] That's all there is. [14:36] there's two lines. [14:36] TRC2908: what file system [14:36] TRC2908, All you needto do is to use the mount command [14:36] unop__: i said tftp localhost at terminal now?

[14:38] i dunno [14:38] Float: ifconfig shows you have additional nics that are up? [14:38] ikonia: Can you help me? [14:38] TRC2908, does it work in windows? [14:38] TRC2908: usually if you just plug the drive in ubuntu will recognize it and mount it for you [14:39] why does gedit find the gfax printer but python scripts do not ? [14:39] wow i love ubuntu :D [14:39] it's not one of these new seagate external drives is it? [14:39] got my printer working over the network, scanning over the network [14:39] zionpsyfer: Er... sorry? You may have to bare with me a little. I'm still very new to ubuntu. [14:39] aren't they incompatible with linux [14:39] linkmaster03: what printer do you have (just curious)? [14:39] it worked gr8 in windows and ive closed it down properly. "usually" isnt applying in this case [14:40] hi there peeps i have been on gnome for a really long time is there another light weight desktop which looks neat and is fast i could try [14:40] \join #python [14:40] what's the command for current working directory? [14:40] need to do some geeky stuff this weekend [14:40] TRC2908, ok what is the brand and model of the drive? [14:40] neil_d, wrong slash :D [14:40] sirjulio, pwd [14:40] TRC2908: it's a USB drive, right? did you plug it in before ot after booting up ubuntu? [14:40] luke xfce and icewin [14:40] maxtor mini iii usb yes [14:40] nonewmsgs, hmm checking [14:41] anything else is which is nice and fast [14:41] Float: No worries mate. If you open up network manager, what interfaces does it show? [14:41] how is enlightment now? [14:41] TRC2908, ok try mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt [14:41] TRC2908: what about the last question? before or after booting up ubuntu? [14:41] it was prob plugged in before i booted ub [14:41] how do you setup launch feedback delay for panels in gnome? [14:41] luke_: yes :) [14:41] TRC2908: unplug the usb cable wait about 30 seconds and plug it back in [14:42] TRC2908: then wait a few more seconds. [14:42] hi [14:42] i mean if i open a program, the program would have opened yet in the task bar it would say "Launching program xyz" [14:43] zionpsyfer: Network Manager? You mean when I click the two computers at the top of the screen, right? [14:43] tried "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt" and got "only root can do that [14:43] " [14:43] can I format Ext3 partition and swap by live CD? [14:44] Float: Indeed, double click the two computers in the upper right. [14:44] TRC2908, ok try sudo in front of it all [14:44] TRC2908, ok try sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt [14:44] TRC2908, then put in your password when it asks for one [14:44] Float: Or go to your System menu -> Administration -> Network [14:44] zionpsyfer: Wired, set to roaming, and modem connection, which is deactivated [14:45] mechdave - "mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist [14:45] " [14:45] TRC2908: try what I said a min ago. [14:46] * pxeHelp wonders why no one responds to his pxe question [14:46] Float: Alright, and the wired connection, you wish it to be a static IP, correct? [14:46] pajamian - done that heaps of times [14:46] TRC2908: ok, then [14:46] zionpsyfer: That's right. [14:47] TRC2908: good luck, I have to head off. Someone here will be able to get it to work for you. [14:47] Float: In the Network Manager window, click on the wired connection and click the Properties button. [14:47] I want format Ext3 partition and swap by live CD is that possible [14:47] guys - sure i dont need to edit fstab as there is no ref to sda there ? [14:48] Zionpsyfer: And... just set it to static? [14:48] TRC2908, ok pastebin the last 20 odd lines from dmesg for me [14:48] TRC2908: yep, fstab is mainly for drives that are permanantly on your system, if you only want to mount a drive once you can supply all the info fstab keeps directly to the mount command. [14:48] Float: Yep. [14:49] when I update to Hardy, how big is the download going to be? [14:49] how do i enable s-video out on ubuntu? [14:50] zionpsyfer: Surely it's not that simple. How do I know what to set the ip to and the subnet and gateway masks and all that? [14:50] I want only format Ext3 partition and swap by live CD is that possible [14:50] anyone help me printing envelopes in open office 2.3? [14:50] elmer: probably about a few hundred MB [14:50] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63722/ [14:51] MGS88: the livecd includes gparted (system > admin > partition editor [14:51] astro76, thanks [14:51] TRC2908, looks like you have yourself a defective HDD there... [14:52] How do I delete a bindshell on my server? [14:52] it works on windows [14:52] TRC2908, Ok unplug the drive and wait about 1 min and then plug it back in, then paste the dmesg again please, this info is not what I need [14:52] TRC2908, pfffttt yea. well, windowz will "see" anything.... [14:52] Float: If you're setting up a static IP, you need to know what you want your ip address to be. If you're on a basic home network, you'll probably want an IP on the same subnet with the same netmask. I.E. if the other devices on the network are all 192.168.0.* then you'll probably want a 192.168.0.whatever address. === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [14:52] astro76: thank you but its locked [14:53] MGS88: in gparted, right click on partitoin and select unmount [14:53] Given that Gnomebaker and K3B take so long to burn a cd because the files are .ogg and .ogg is a bit complex........... what would be a more simple format? [14:53] TRC2908, are u able to boot into Linux? [14:53] Um......... more simple compressed format that is [14:53] there were references to the maxtor further up in demsg - would that have helped - you mentioned the last 20 linesit further up above [14:54] Float: Be sure that the IP address you pick will not be given out by the dhcp server(if there is one). Also, pay attention to the netmask. 255.255.255.0 is common, if the other devices use that, then you should as well. [14:54] TRC I was not expecting so many errors :( [14:54] astro76: thank you very much [14:54] Hi. Quick question: Is there a nice proggie to graphically see your used disk space, all gnome-integrated? I don't mean "tell me how much free space do i have", that's obvious, but "What's taking the free space, in order?" or something like that [14:54] TRC2908, I was not expecting so many errors :( [14:54] zionpsyfer: So, does it matter what I choose as my own IP as long as it won't be given out by dhcp? [14:55] mechdave, u got that? [14:55] helpin him I mean.. [14:55] CaBlGuY, sorry, got what? [14:56] I second Jimmymaniac's question [14:56] I third it [14:56] mechdave, helping TRC2908 I enant.. U good with that? I can help possibly.. [14:56] I am really tired. Last plea. [14:56] Float: No, but be sure the subnet is the same. The first three octets of the IP should match what the dhcp server is giving out (unless you are purposely and knowingly deviating) for simplicity sake. [14:56] *meant [14:57] zionpsyfer: Yeah, of course. wow, I didn't think this was that simple. [14:57] pxeHelp: in my /lastlog I see please... but no actual question... try asking again [14:57] I am trying to install ubuntu over a lan to other machines in my lab. I am following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer?highlight=%28pxe%29. The dhcp server is working because when I 'boot from lan' from the client it discovers the dhcp servers ip and then gets an ip in the proper range. But then it says TFTP.....timed out. And then again TFTP.... And nothing happens. My /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, /etc/inetd .conf and apache stuff is same [14:57] s/please/pleas/ [14:57] ikonia: ^ please [14:57] zionpsyfer: And how do I find my gateway adress? [14:58] CaBlGuY, yeah I should be ok, just sorting out what his usb drive is doing right now... seems like Ubuntu is doing something funny [14:58] Float tpye ifconfig [14:58] mechdave, ok.. just checkin.. ;) [14:58] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63723/ [14:58] Float: That would be your routers address. I.E. if your subnet is 192.168.0.* it is most likely 192.168.0.1. [14:59] CaBlGuY, no worries, if you have any ideas just jump in :) [14:59] another batch from dmesg sorry - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63723/ [14:59] damn, had to find it just *after* asking :) On the main menu, in accesories, there's a "Disk usage analizer" icon. That one seems to do the job [15:00] mechdave, well, just off the top of my head.. whatever type of drive that is has some bad sectors or, ubuntu is not reading it right if it's a usb drive.. [15:00] Given that Gnomebaker and K3B take so long to burn a cd because the files are .ogg and .ogg is a bit complex........... what would be a more simple compressed format? [15:00] astro76: ^? [15:00] pxeHelp: I was saying to repeat your question, which you did ;) [15:01] is this a bug? 'mount' does not show that my rootdir is mounted.. [15:01] astro76: now? I am stuck. [15:01] even ikonia is not around :( [15:01] zionpsyfer: Well, the dhcp hands out 192.168.1.* ips... [15:02] wdh: it should [15:02] pxeHelp: now I see I don't know the answer... hopefully someone else will ;) [15:02] Float: Alright, so your router is probably 192.168.1.1 [15:02] is ogg really more complex than mp3 for instance? [15:02] zionpsyfer: Alright... [15:02] Ok, that was all, thanks :) [15:02] * pxeHelp has been waiting since ages for someone to drop by. [15:03] CaBlGuY, seems like it isn't being assigned a device file see --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63723/ [15:03] pxeHelp: you might try ##linux too [15:03] suggestions for another environment other than gnome or kde or xfce? [15:03] hello === chaky_ is now known as chaky [15:04] anyone does know if memory cards should be officially supported? [15:04] gnuskool: fluxbox, some other *box, xmonad, awesome, ratpoison? [15:04] mechdave, seems like he's dealing with some bad sectors... and when he boots back up,m Ubuntu is not able to read those sectors so, he's not able to resume from disk.... [15:04] anyone knows how to unzip zip files in ubuntu gutsy? [15:04] Hi, I'm going to install a the new RC today and completely get rid of Gutsy. Is there a way that I could carry over my firefox setup though? [15:05] Given that Gnomebaker and K3B take so long to burn a cd because the files are .ogg and .ogg is a bit complex........... what would be a more simple compressed format? [15:05] hi i need help pls [15:05] !ask | s_ [15:05] s_: 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. :-) [15:05] gooody: command unzip, if gui does not offer tools for that [15:05] NW2190: are you going to change to hardy? [15:05] gooody, all you need to do is iinstall the packages that support zip files for archiver.. [15:06] ok. thanks. [15:06] CaBlGuY, Do you reckon if he booted into windows and ran scandisk and defrag it would fix it? [15:06] !zip > gooody (read the private message from ubotu) [15:06] gooody, no worries.. ;) [15:06] hi [15:06] wolfwalker: not really, most formats like .ogg and .mp3 are relatively easy to decode compared to encode (i.e. it takes little cpu to play or convert to wav to burn cd in your case) [15:06] zionpsyfer: Alright... that seemed to work. Thanks. [15:07] TRC2908, try running scandisk to fix errors and defrag on your drive from windows and then try again [15:07] mechdave, well, that's kinda an oxy-moron aint it.. (windows and fix it) LOL but, he could give it a try,.. but, if it's the HDD and not the USB drive, he needs to get a good HDD... [15:07] linkinxp: ya [15:07] jrib: arent them other*.boxes wms, im i am considering e17, but i hear its also just a wm, thus missing a few other things [15:07] Floa1: No worries, glad I could help. =) [15:07] actually I think it will save it anyway since I have a seperate home partition... [15:07] NW2190: dont need to reinstall just upgrade from the console [15:07] astro76 all I know is this is a slow computer, but nero takes WAY less time (dual boot) than either Gnomebaker or K3B. Most of the time is spent decoding audio format to cd audio. [15:07] gnuskool: all of the ones I listed are just wm's. I don't really know of other "environments" other than GNOME, KDE, and XFCE [15:08] wolfwalker: using .ogg's with nero too? [15:08] linkinxp: ya but I want to clean up everything cuz I messed around a lot with gutsy and installed loads of programs that I never use [15:08] gnuskool: consider lxde (http://lxde.sf.net) [15:08] Using mp3, wav, wma with nero. Using mp3 with K3B and Gnomebaker too, and they still take forever. [15:08] Zionpsyfer: Alright! And Azureus seems to be working nicely too. Thanks! [15:08] NW2190: ho i see well then i agree with you lol [15:08] !hardy [15:08] 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 === vince is now known as [vince] [15:09] Odd-rationale: thx [15:09] After upgrading to Hardy miro stopped working. It says "no module named xlibhelper". What should I do? [15:09] linkinxp: haha ya. But hopefully the bookmarks and plugins are on the home directory [15:09] NW2190: i think so yes [15:09] k cool [15:09] mechdave -thanks for the input - i'll have to reloaded windows to do that ( i haven't kept the OS on the PC) might be a job for tomorrow [15:09] theDtTvB2|Hardy: hardy help in #ubuntu+1 [15:10] NW2190: try to search inside firefox in settings [15:10] Floa1: Nice! Grats on your first static IP on linux. =P [15:10] how can i unmount device automatically mounted by system after media insert? [15:10] jrib: Thanks. [15:10] i was thinking i had to configure mount points in fstab from something I i read on "www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/mounting.html [15:10] pihhan: right click on it, eject [15:10] jrib: what could i do, if it does not have such menu item? === luke__ is now known as Coggz [15:10] pihhan: use the 'umount' command [15:11] wolfwalker: so forget the question about which format... the real question is why k3b or gnomebaker take longer than nero to do the same thing...

[15:52] hi, it k3b or cd/dvd creator, my dvd writer dont write sony dvd-rw's, how i do' [15:52] Derspankster: I use Ubuntu Server edition on a home server machine. I like it, no problems [15:52] when i play a video file in VLC player ubuntu 7.10 it crashes and disapear, why is that? and when play video file in Totem player it plays but when i move mouse the screen flickers and the quality of video is not good, as it was before.... ? [15:52] in windows work [15:52] hi [15:52] !hi > noxiousrao [15:52] chazco nice of you, many do not do that extra steps of verifications or do not point out the tools to verify [15:52] FastZ: thanks for the input, i want to use it mainly as a media server [15:53] chazco am sure your tutorials will be of highest quality [15:53] amenado , no the laptop can connect with the AP and does, i can access the webserver on 192.168.0.9 , however i cannot access the web or ping 192.168.0.1 [15:53] TRC2908, ok try sudo fdisk -l [15:53] Derspankster >> my system has MythTV and shares media files [15:53] TRC2908, without any arguments [15:53] Derspankster: Mine is used mainly for streaming audio which it does quite nicely. I also stream a few movies that I have on there across my LAN which it also does quite nicely [15:53] TRC2908, that should give you all partitions on your system [15:53] Does anyone know of a gui to configure samba? [15:54] for sharing with windows I simply use Putty or Psftp [15:54] koshari: what is the AP? [15:54] vi . haha === demo_ is now known as zerg2 [15:54] FastZ: thanks again. What packages do you have installed, if you can remember offhand. [15:54] koshari does the router/modem have a tool within it to ping the .09 or your AP ? kind of test in reverse? [15:54] this is for moving files from one ubuntu laptop to another laptop running ubuntu [15:54] mechdave, sudo fdisk -l? [15:54] SuRfDeMoN: what are you sharing out? Need any security, or just wide open? [15:54] SuRfDeMoN, swat works pretty well [15:54] TRC2908, yep [15:54] Derspankster >> if you install MythWeb you will have access to all wanted media files by browser e.g. firefox [15:55] craigbass1976, just wide open [15:55] SuRfDeMoN: I can get you a file... hang on [15:55] koshari also is the switch a type of managed switch? or thats more like a hub? [15:55] asathoor: thanks [15:55] craigbass1976, I need to get all data off one of the laptops as it has a virus in windows so running ubuntu on one of its drives [15:55] craigbass1976, cheers :) [15:55] amenado ap is a wifi access point minitar, and the odd thing is if i reboot the laptop to windows i can access 192.168.0.1 and surf the web [15:55] what's a good application to use with an ipod? [15:55] pjv try amarok [15:55] pjv, amarok [15:56] Derspankster: its just a regular LAMP server install. of course i have ssh installed for secure file transfers... um, gnump3d for a streaming audio server [15:56] SuRfDeMoN, Try System -> Administration ->Shared Folders [15:56] pjv >> amarok [15:56] mechdave, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63730/ [15:56] thank you [15:56] koshari: have you verified the gateway is set in Linux to 192.168.0.1 ? [15:56] mechdave, I don't have Shared Folders under Administration [15:56] * delcoyote hi [15:57] koshari-> were you the one I asked to paste the ifconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf ? if not yet, please the result of those (this is from the laptop ) [15:57] I am currently procuring and assembling my hardware for the home home server. Thanks to all for your replies. [15:57] Derspankster: there are some other versions of Myth you can also take a look at beside MythTV... look at Mythbuntu, KnoppMyth, and there is a Linux Media Center distro too, but I cant think of the name of it [15:57] koshari oh yeah it was you, you dont have ip address assigned to your eth0 or eth1 and no gateway [15:57] amenado i did here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/7504/ [15:57] mechdave, one of them has that option but it is on the wrong laptop its on the one I want to get the data off [15:58] hi [15:58] please advice me torrent cliaent except ktorrent , rtorrent and transmission ;) [15:58] SuRfDeMoN, which Ubuntu you using? [15:58] koshari so get an ip address assigned to eth0 or eth1 for the laptop [15:58] astro76 and amendo how do i do this using roaning? [15:58] TRC2908, that is odd, should show up in there [15:58] ok, solved - looks physical... sometime between live session and booting, i think the network... somehow... got nudged, and there is no light on back... but weird... [15:58] mechdave, think it is hardy, how can i confirm it ? [15:58] what package contains the program uniq?? [15:59] or how can i find this out [15:59] vova_kubba: apt-cache search torrent, suid yourself [15:59] mechdave, 40 gb, is the pc hardrive, the ehd is 100 gb here is dmesg | grep "sda" = http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63731/ [15:59] I have a mixed network, 2 Ubuntu, 2 Win XP, and a MacBook Pro [15:59] anaoum: dpkg -S `which uniq` [15:59] what would be a good online game? [15:59] actually 3 ubuntu [15:59] im sick of these what i have [15:59] SuRfDeMoN: http://rafb.net/p/VQww4X76.html [16:00] anaoum: note those are `backticks`.. or use dpkg -S $(which uniq) [16:00] SuRfDeMoN: Make your /etc/samba/smb.conf file look liek that and you should be good to go [16:00] koshari-> are you following me? [16:00] vova_kubba :Delude [16:00] astro76: thanks [16:00] craigbass1976, wicked thank you very much :) [16:00] vova_kubba :Sorry it is Deluge [16:01] amenado there is no place to enter the details when i tick the roaming option in the networking applet [16:01] hi [16:01] TRC2908, Looks like bad news to me, might need to plug it into a windows box and run scandisk on it, any win box will do [16:01] http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6277/wiesocu0.jpg <-- why is that? [16:01] question_ got a new laptop, want to install hardy, now its beta , will it automatically update to stable once it officially comes out? or will i be stuck with beta forever? [16:01] TRC2908, it has errors that I do not know how to fix in Ubuntu [16:02] koshari your AP has not assigned you an ip address per your paste, untick the roaming anyways [16:02] itai-michaelson : you will get final by updates [16:02] solar7: you should explain it because people are wary to click your link [16:02] mechdave, ok, i'll run scandisk on the ehd sometime this week [16:02] okay [16:02] so [16:02] zvacet, thanks [16:02] !pastebin [16:02] 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) [16:02] amenado why would this be the case as there is the gateway entered in the access point and windows picks it up? [16:03] TRC2908, No worries, sorry I couldn't be of more help [16:04] koshari not per what you pasted, no ip address assigned to your eth0 nor eth1 -- these are you wifi nics on your laptop? [16:04] when i boot my ubuntu everything works fine but when ubuntu loads the hardwaree drivers.. 2 errnos appear... you can see them on this screenshot --> http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6277/wiesocu0.jpg [16:04] #ubuntu-fr [16:04] koshari: the laptop should be getting no information from the access point, and it's IP is transparent to the situation [16:04] mechdave, by the way, i need to download software from seagate to get the maxtor ehd running on windows - is this of any relevance? [16:04] koshari: only DHCP server should be on the router [16:05] SuRfDeMoN, try sudo apt-get install samba [16:05] TRC2908, Uhoh!! [16:05] astro76 this is correct [16:05] craigbass1976: you figure anything out about your install problem? I'm still trying to look for some information about a fix for that [16:05] TRC2908, does seagate have linux drivers? [16:06] koshari: windows is getting it's IP and gateway info from the dhcp on the router, for some reason linux is not [16:06] damn [16:06] TRC2908, what is the model? [16:06] mechdave, maxtor mini iii [16:06] log [16:07] koshari: sorry if I'm stating the obvious here ;) [16:08] astro i put a static ip addy in the laptop and its connecting to 192.168.0.1, i cant see why it cant get a dhcp served local ip addy? [16:08] solar7: Try disabling the boot from cd option in your bios. from what I gather it can cause what you are experiencing. [16:08] aha [16:09] thats a good idea [16:09] thx [16:09] koshari: I honestly haven't used static in a long while... I set my router to give the same IP to paritcular MACs via DHCP [16:09] mechdave, when i got it, it worked out of the box on windows a couple of years ago, but with a later reboot/replacement pc i had to download this software = http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=ot3-mini-vista&vgnextoid=bb9cb7ecb30d3110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD [16:09] hello [16:09] how can i change my screen depth to 16 bit? [16:09] koshari use a cable to plug your laptop to same AP and see if you get an ip addy to your laptop [16:09] i'm trying to run a game in wine and the appdb says to change X to 16 bit [16:09] otherwise there are performance problems [16:10] solar7: no problem, hopefully that solves it. [16:10] koshari: the AP has one port though doesn't it? [16:10] mechdave, the site refers to windows vista but i was running xp [16:11] astro76 yes [16:11] mona3: you could edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the Section "Screen" change defaultdepth to 16 and restart X. I'm not sure it will work, but.. [16:11] mona3: have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [16:12] SeaPhor: i will now [16:12] koshari: did it work in linux via wireless when using dhcp, if you tried that first? === luke__ is now known as Coggz^ [16:13] hello everybody [16:13] what happend when i put usb device into usb port in my computer [16:14] astro76 i did try that first but didnt work, using static now i can access goole by directly putting in the 72.104.***.*** [16:14] koshari: because you'll have to set dns manually too [16:14] i can see informatrion when i use "dmesg" [16:14] astro76 ot would appear i will have to manually put the dns server detasils in [16:14] ivo: what is the device? [16:14] koshari: though depending on router you can just point dns at 192.168.0.1 [16:14] for exemple mice [16:15] LOL guys check this out [16:15] i installed winxp so i can bot for d2, but windows xp wont automatically configure my dhcp isp [16:15] LOL [16:15] is there any other "place" that i can see new device into usb-port [16:15] ivo what are u trying to connect [16:15] ivo: lsusb [16:15] ivo, dmesg | tail [16:15] astro76 so its working using static with the dns manually put in but i cant see why it wont work using dhcp???? [16:15] <_urlwolf__> my ubuntu install doesn't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf (?). I'm reading instructions that mention that... [16:15] or lspci | grep usb [16:15] if you want to see what you just plugged or unplugged [16:16] koshari: good question [16:16] ok lsusb is something that i'm looking for, thx [16:16] _urlwolf__: are u running an x server [16:16] <_urlwolf__> yes [16:16] <_urlwolf__> well [16:16] _urlwolf__ : did you ever econfigure xservedr? [16:16] <_urlwolf__> no [16:17] <_urlwolf__> hmm [16:17] <_urlwolf__> I see [16:17] dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg i believe, that will generate one [16:17] !enter | _urlwolf__ [16:17] _urlwolf__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:17] <_urlwolf__> I'm connected to this box using X-win 32 on a win machine [16:17] !xconfig [16:17] To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [16:17] <_urlwolf__> so, then, maybe the Xserver is running on win instead [16:17] koshari: plugging laptop ethernet into router works with dhcp? [16:18] koshari: router or switch [16:18] _urlwolf__ : Do you have GUI in Ubuntu? [16:18] <_urlwolf__> zvacet: yes [16:18] humm i have setup a share on a ubuntu machine how do I connect to it from another ubuntu machine [16:18] astro76 i suspect ir should but i dont have a patch cable handy at the moment, [16:19] mona3: in gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf you can specify in "Section 'Screen'" to "Depth 16" instead of 24 (or whatever yours is) then save the file [16:20] k whats going on with nautilus when I try to open a mp3 and or any file really it turns the file icon into a plain text looking file and then will not open it at all [16:20] i have 2 ISP's, each with a gateway/firewall. i need to place a router infront of them to route traffic the the proper gateway. vpn traffic on one ISP, all other traffic on the other. if my network is 192.168.1.0/24 can i keep the gateways on the same network or will they need to each be their own networks? meaning traffic first hits router with ip 192.168.1.1, and then it needs to hop to ISP1, can that ISP1 firewall/gateway be a 192.168.1.x ip? [16:20] _urlwolf__ : so,xserver i running and you must have xserver.conf [16:20] SuRfDeMoN: in the file manager, type this into the address bar: SMB://machinename [16:20] How do I change my name? [16:20] mona3: you may have to restart xserver [16:20] root____2: /nick [16:20] !regist [16:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about regist - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:20] SuRfDeMoN: u mean connect to it over ssh? [16:20] <_urlwolf__> zvacet: locate xserver.conf returns nothing === root____2 is now known as ruhiwarrior19 [16:20] Hello: I was just watching a video using Movie Player and it froze *everything*. Had to to get out of the desktop. Upon getting back in, no apps will show video (VLC, movieplayer). Can't find anything in FAQs or web. Any hints? [16:21] Running Gutsy when video failed. [16:21] SuRfDeMoN: You might need to use the IP instead of the machine name. [16:21] cd /etc/X11 and after that ls [16:21] TRC2908, they say that the maxtor mini III works fine with Ubuntu (Linux) [16:21] Can anyone help me fixing my user account.. [16:21] Stev1: whats wrong with it? [16:21] Stev1, what have you done to it? [16:22] I broke my user account.. [16:22] Sudo no longer works [16:22] I'm running a production server with over 15.000 visits a day, will Ubuntu 8.04 be suitable for installation? [16:22] mechdave, do they - i guess i'll have to go the scandisk [16:22] let me grab the error it says.. [16:22] <_urlwolf__> zvacet: I have Xsession.options [16:22] astro76 i are beginning to suspect its the ethernet poer attempting to resolve the dns/ip address instead of the wifi [16:22] zionpsyfer, wicked cheers [16:22] <_urlwolf__> and Xwrapper.config [16:22] Stev1: maybe u've been removed from the sudoers list. or is this not the case? [16:22] SuRfDeMoN: cheers =) [16:22] can anyone tell me if CTRL+ALT+Backspace restarts xserver, or is there a better way? [16:22] Stev1 type groups in a terminal, do you see admin as one of the groups you belong to? [16:22] TRC2908, sorry mate but that is all I can think of right now [16:22] Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window' '--non-interactive' '--parent-window-id' '52428803' '--update-at-startup' as user root. [16:22] SeaPhor: Yes, it does [16:22] is there a channel where I can discuss programming in ubuntu? [16:22] SeaPhor it does, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm is a cleaner way [16:23] koshari: perhaps... it's definitely something with the laptop's configuration [16:23] let me try that [16:23] SeaPhor it does, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop is a cleaner way [16:23] googlah, Thank you [16:23] mechdave, i appreciate your time and effort - cheers [16:23] ctrl alt backspace is more universal though [16:23] Stev1: the error suggests u ARE root. just something else is failing. or is the problem that you really can't sudo anything? [16:23] googlah: Depends on a lot of factors. Hardware, configuration, design of the site and the extensions you're planning on using to apache. The db stuff if any. [16:23] nickrud, Thank you [16:23] I believe I removed myself from ADMINS [16:23] TRC2908, no worries mate, that is what I am here for :) [16:24] when i last was able to check there.. it showed Root and santhony [16:24] I deselected santhony [16:24] since reboot, I can no longer run sudo [16:24] Stev1 did you do the groups command? [16:24] but now I cannot get back into there to fix [16:24] how do i do that nick? === Coggz^ is now known as Coggz [16:24] _urlwolf__ : I don´t understand that.It is very strange [16:24] nickrud, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart work as well? [16:25] ah lol. [16:25] Stev1 apps-accessories->terminal, type it there [16:25] <_urlwolf__> I know [16:25] SeaPhor yes [16:25] zionpsyfer: cool. Well, I just hope it will be stable and the hard lockups are fixed. (?) I'm using like, apache2 with php5, mysql, postgresql, proftpd, irssi, postfix, dovecot for mail etc. [16:25] _urlwolf__ : I don´t understand it.It is very strange. [16:25] type this ===> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ?? [16:26] Stev1 no, groups , it will give you a list. Paste that one line here [16:26] I am going to upgrade the hardware in a few days as well.. so 8.04 might be good. [16:26] <_urlwolf__> Stev1: was that directed to me? [16:26] is there a good channel to ask routing/networking questions? [16:26] Hello. I've lost the ability to play video with any application in Gutsy. Any good place to discuss that? [16:26] any idea's on why a sblive card is not working snd: Unknown symbol unregister_sound_special [16:26] googlah: I run 6.10 server at work. It's been rock solid for me, with apache2, php5, mysql5, proftpd. Nowhere near the load you are looking at, but it's been stable since install. [16:26] i have also tried the onboars and won't work either [16:26] this is 8.04 [16:27] #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release, /j #ubuntu+1 zippytech [16:27] for some reason I cannot run the "manage groups" button [16:27] <_urlwolf__> ok, nm, I'm not risking screwing up my confing; Thanks zvacet and Stev1 [16:27] it does nothing after clicking that [16:27] _urlwolf__: no. i wish i could scroll up to familiarize myself with your problem :P [16:27] Stev1 that requires sudo also. That's why we're doing it in the terminal [16:27] Stev1, at boot hit esc and edit the grub boot line adding single to the end, that will boot into single mode so you can fix what you have done [16:27] is there a gui ftp Server, not just a client, in the repos? i can't seem to find a gui server app and I cant seem to correctly config the cli ones i have tried [16:27] ah.. OK.. let me get back into terminal.. [16:27] what do i run in terminal? [16:27] groups [16:28] any way to resize my / partition without a livecd / bootcd / etc ? [16:28] Stev1 : In terminal type sudo adduser username admin [16:28] kriel no [16:28] zionpsyfer: I see. Might should look at a older version.. or stick to 7.10. But newest seem best to me. :) [16:29] kriel you can't resize a partition that's in use, so you need some other root to be running. [16:29] i just typed this [16:29] sudo adduser username admin [16:29] nickrud: no way to throw the kernel, etc into mem/swap ? [16:29] hi all [16:29] kriel non that I know of, and besides, you'd need a lot more than just the kernel to run even parted [16:29] zvacet : put your username in place of username [16:30] googlah: yeah, 6.10 is going to be dropped from support on the 25th of this month, 7.10 should be nice and stable. I don't know that I'd trust 8.04 right after it's been released on a production machine. === luke__ is now known as Coggz^^ === Coggz^^ is now known as Coggz^ [16:30] ok i need some help, i want to install ubuntu but the graphical installer doesnt work well when i cant get a screen res beyound 640x480 what can i do? [16:30] kriel the only way i can see you doing that without a boot Cd is in a dual boot situaion [16:30] that didn't fix anything [16:30] sudo not working still [16:30] woo. Kay. [16:30] Thank you nickrud, itai-michaelson [16:30] Stev1 : boot in recovery mode and type adduser username admin [16:30] can i log in using root? [16:31] Where do I go for help with failed video playback? [16:31] Stev1 before you do that, lets be sure that's the problem. type groups in that terminal, see if admin is listed [16:31] so i believe the problem is my user account has no admin priveliges [16:31] is there a command line install for ubuntu? [16:31] just don't know how to reverse that [16:31] jasperhax0r: yes [16:31] Stev1 : you will see that option (recovery mode) when grub load [16:31] what is the command for it? [16:31] jasperhax0r, yes, just select it from the boot cd [16:32] ok, that lists the following [16:32] jasperhax0r you'd need the alternate install cd for a command line install [16:32] i didnt see that in the boot cd menu [16:32] santhony adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin [16:32] zionpsyfer: Nah, I think the same. [16:32] my account is the santhony [16:32] i dont have that [16:32] I'm great at Windows.. New to this Linux stuff [16:32] so pls bear with me [16:32] jasperhax0r, or download the dvd for ubuntu [16:32] Stev1 : adduser santhony admin [16:33] dont have any cd-r/dvd-rs [16:33] Stev1 yup, no admin group. reboot, when you see loading grub 1.5 , hit escape. Look for the recovery option, and choose that. When it loads, type adduser santhony admin . Then type exit [16:33] it says only root can do that [16:33] sudo [16:33] Only root may add a user or group to the system. [16:33] using the 6.06 lts for 64bit cd i had sent to me [16:33] which is my problem.. cannot run sudo [16:33] jasperhax0r, you can download it from http://www.distrowatch.com [16:33] Good time of the day! 7.10 - installed virtualbox -> lost ALSA audio. Any ideas where to dig?=) [16:34] Stev1 you need to reboot into the special mode I just explained. Write down the steps, and do them exactly and you will be fine [16:34] ok.. [16:34] Stev1 :As I said boot in recovery mode and there you are superuser.Just type command I write [16:34] ah.. ok.. so once in recovery, type this [16:34] sure i can download it but it doesnt do me any good if it just sits there on my hard drive not being written to disk [16:34] adduser santhony admin [16:34] you agree nick? [16:35] Stev1, you will need to boot into rescue mode and then in a terminal type adduser [16:35] jasperhax0r any particular reason you want to use the command line installer? [16:35] i just wish X would stop being an idiot and do more than 640x480 [16:35] ok.. I saw your info too Nick.. [16:35] so i can use the gui installer [16:35] hey guys how do i make amarok be the default player when i plug in my ipod. I'm using KDE [16:35] thanks guys.. be back in 10 mins.. gonna try that...

[17:32] Clinteger, ;-) [17:32] amenado: ill have a read [17:32] thanks for the help, pelo! [17:32] Why is it that everybody seems to love KDE so much more than gnome? I was trying it out, and it didn't seem to have nearly as many great features as gnome. Is there some underlying reason I'm missing? Or is there some super-feature that I haven't found yet? [17:32] scout_-> do a sudo ip link set eth2 down [17:32] dmsuperman its all personal choice :p [17:32] !best | dmsuperman [17:32] dmsuperman: 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. [17:33] dmsuperman_, gnome as more users I beleive, but the kde ppl are lound [17:33] looking for the best screen capture program for ubuntu if anyone has advice [17:33] Does the ubuntu nvidia drivers give the most performance your GFX card can handle? [17:33] Pelo see factoid above ;) [17:33] dmsuperman, kde looks more like windows [17:33] lartza: no [17:33] lartza_ in the linux world, yes [17:34] amenado, you are the man. wow that was to simple and i was searching bug reports for the kernel (debian etch 2.6.15 had this bug). [17:34] nickrud: So it wont affect if i install the official nvidia drivers from nvidia site? [17:34] However,thatis nvidia's fault for not releasing open source drivers [17:34] rama_su, video capture or just plain screen capture ? , video try recordmydesktop , screen just use the alt+prnscr [17:34] oh wow. it was nearly done with installing stuff, Pelo lol it just restarted >.< [17:34] lartza_ the latest from nvidia *might* be better, depends on the chip and what they've done [17:34] nickrud: Where else might BestBot be? I don't see it in the ubuntu-bots channel === MattJ_ is now known as MattJ [17:34] dmsuperman it's gone? I'll poke the owner (when he gets up) [17:34] dmsuperman, /whois ?

[17:38] ColdBeer: Do you have both .htpasswd, containing your htpasswd generated username/password in that location, and mod_auth enabled? [17:38] Auctionedllama not saying you should or shouldn't, just gives me somewhere to start [17:38] Clinteger, np I just like the quickest root, and you should have booted the recovery mode to do those commands, that way you had less stuff loaded, llike no X and such [17:38] Help!

If you get the torrent from their site, you can usually max your connection out [17:40] amenado, because its on the opposite side of the room to me, its a strange request i suppose but I was just wondering if it was possible [17:40] Why isn't bestbot on ubuntu-bots??? [17:40] Clinteger: I downloaded the whole ISO the other day in 7 minutes [17:40] hi, how can I test system-stability with ubuntu? for windows I always used prime95 (http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm) [17:40] He's the best [17:40] Well haven't tried [17:40] rama_su or draw, or presentation. Choose the one that will create the source you want most effectively [17:41] dmsuperman_ lmao im using the torrent, but getting only like 200kB/sec... my connection is about 320kb/sec maxed, i was getting that from the download server while upgrading ubuntu earlier.

[17:42] Pelo: I don't want to benchmark, I want to stress test and see if my big-calculater calculates correct [17:42] nickrud: I have been working for 5 days to get my card working, so after my 4th format, I installed the driver via restricted, and then from ATI and then it worked [17:42] sharperguy i have not done it myself, maybe you have to toy with xhost +ipaddresstodiplay_it_at [17:42] SKuhn: you mean a stability test? Like SuperPI for windows? [17:42] amenado, ok [17:42] eaglestar, its there in the cd too you can also find it in the repo's [17:42] ok thanks [17:42] SKuhn, then search for that in conjunction with linux, or try asking in ##linux they mgiht know [17:42] so then it should work?

Can you wait a week, hardy has the latest ati as default, works well (and no xserver-xgl needed) [18:01] jeffimperial: if you dont see the update in synaptic then my best guess is that it's "not yet available through synaptic"...because that's makes common sense... [18:01] nickrud: I am serious, I am just really wanting to get this running D: [18:01] Pelo: *CAT5* [18:01] FasZ well thanks.. so much for open source support [18:01] hmm, Gnome really renders things big then [18:02] Auctionedllama lsmod | grep fglrx , is it loaded?

If you ask if something is available or not when you can see for yourself if it is doesnt really make much sense. then on top of that, you asked the exact same question three times in a matter of like 2 minutes... [18:02] Auctionedllama sudo modprobe fglrx , try that [18:02] Hello. I need to restore nvidia drivers from ubuntu repos. I Installed linux-restriced-modules-`uname r` and nvidia-glx but when KDM don't want to start :(.

I don't remember from the install instructions, but wasn't there some step where you needed to do a compile, after installing the kernel headers and build-essential?

[18:18] if I want to run windows in a virtual machine as a window inside Ubuntu, what programs can I use for that? [18:18] !virtualizers | mnemo [18:18] mnemo: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [18:18] transformers, that's offtopic, you could ask in #freenode maybe, but define "proxy" [18:18] McJester, initiate the install ? you mean an upgrade ? , you can only upgrade to the next release in this case 7.04 , or ifyou are using hte lts to the next lts, but you can't upgrade and jump releases [18:18] Can anyone help me out...I just did a fresh install of Gutsy, but my video card is only being picked up as a Vesa...I know there is a driver available, but restricted drivers manager says I don't need a restricted driver....How can I enable restricted drivers manager or setup my card right?

[18:19] My point is to make Alt Gr, I think it's Mod 2, Alt Gr + f become rightdoublequotemark [18:19] McJester, from 6.10 you will either have to do the incremental updates until you get to 7.10, ie 2 more upgrades, or you clean install, I recommend clean intall, just put your /home folder on a seperate partitons === kabads_ is now known as kabads [18:19] nickrud: k lemme reboot [18:19] Which is working only with a.

[18:20] Auctionedllama after you reboot, you'll need to do the restricted manager step and reboot agian [18:20] Pelo: ok, should i now nav to the directory where i have the driver.inf file and do a sudo ndiswrapper -i net8185.inf ? [18:20] SeaPhor, sounds about right [18:20] x1alpha : it should be safe. [18:20] transformers, to my knoledge, freenode doesn't have a problems with irc gateways and bouncers being used to connect to the network. [18:20] hi [18:21] x1alpha the worst that would happen is you'd lose the windows boot, and have to edit menu.lst to get it back [18:21] hey thanks it worked [18:21] ok purpleyez u there ?

Are they that different? [18:25] I mean is there a command that can be put in through command line or tty/terminal to change reso's? [18:25] nickrud: no, should function [18:25] PurpZeY: maybe the restricted manager didn't pick up the card becouse it appears as unknow device [18:25] erUSUL, i am unable to install it [18:25] cool: you have to say what your having trouble with before someone can help you (please don't tell/ask me, i have no experiece with the syslinux project) [18:25] nickrud: it just has a few added bonuses than the 1600.. ok gonna reboot [18:25] erUSUL, syslinux is a project [18:25] Pelo: lol, thats how i got where i was, its the 3rd link down [18:25] ps faux is the command to show all processes correct?

It has music, and in each of the sub folders there's a ton of desktop.ini and thumbs.db folders, which are useless to me now. How can I: [18:29] 1)Delete all of these extra files, without touching any other files, and not having to do each by hand, and [18:29] 2)This is optional, but change the partition from NTFS to EXT3 without moving or losing the data [18:29] lol @ netsplit [18:29] take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , put it back up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [18:30] using g4l ghost for linux to make image file backup for my ext3 partition having the ubuntu os, error message i get is unable to read from image block 0 , g4l uses partiimage and that uses the dd comand i think..... any help? [18:30] dmsuperman : you can not format witout losing data [18:30] dmsuperman: Those files are harmless and maybe at most 1kb 2 2kb and there is noway to delete those other than manually [18:30] nickrud: Was that directed at me? [18:30] dmsuperman: find /PATHTOROOTMEDIAFOLDER -name 'desktop.ini' | xargs -i rm {} [18:30] nickrud: all other commands besides that says everything is fine, which annoys me [18:30] they are pointless to delete as it would take lots of time [18:30] PurpZeY: ouch.... with that card on gutsy you can not use the prepackaged drivers you have to either use envy or install driver from nvidia.com (with the risks that both options have) [18:30] tomm__ no, I've been struggling with Auctionedllama's ati issue [18:30] zvacet, I figured as much, so I wasn't expecting much. I just figured that since they're somewhat similar it might be possible [18:31] PurpZeY: maybe you are better upgrading to hardy ??? [18:31] erUSUL: Hardy will support this card more readily? [18:31] dmsuperman: do the same with the thumbs.db files and you're golden. [18:31] ciao [18:31] FastZ: Thanks a lot. really. gotta run now. deadline's in 25 mintues and still have 17MB of uploads and deletions to do with a darn website..thanks again [18:31] zionpsyfer, Where might I specify a verbose output, or a place to log, so I can be sure I haven't lost any extra files [18:31] Auctionedllama yeah, the fglrx will work fine without the kernel module, but you don't get acceleration without it [18:31] xdaliclock thats the name [18:31] jarred, They just bug me, I'm very particular about the organization of my media folders :P [18:32] how do i whisper? [18:32] nickrud: man.. ok it says to black list ati-agp in the blacklist thing.. can you give me the command to do that again? [18:32] jeffimperial: no prob. glad you got it going. laters. [18:32] dmsuperman: run the find command without the: | xargs -i rm {} [18:32] Auctionedllama where does it say that? [18:32] on the [18:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [18:32] / [18:32] zionpsyfer, _awesome_, thanks a ton :D [18:32] PurpZeY: yep it should [18:32] nickrud: about half way down the page where it talks about mesa [18:32] dmsuperman: no problem. [18:32] Auctionedllama system->admin->restricted driver , enable ati restricted. reboot. log in, run fglrxinfo and make sure it's using ati 8.37.6 driver. install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager , then log out and back in. Go to system->prefs->appearance effects tab is the standard steps (works nearly every time) [18:32] how do i whisper to somone [18:33] nickrud: well its not.. [18:33] Where can I get the 64bit Ubutu kernel ? [18:33] erUSUL: The last time I tried an update...I had a problem w/ Gnome-power-manager, could it be related to this, and consequently, if I did an update that included hardy would it likely go away? [18:33] jarred: define "whisper" [18:33] Auctionedllama obviously ;p [18:33] erUSUL: I only ask b/c it required a clean install. [18:33] zionpsyfer, Just for my own curiosity, I like to learn. I'm thinking that find will list all the files that match the criteria, then | means pass the output to the xargs command, which then takes the -i rm {} and runs it so each line passed to xargs is sent as another arg to rm ? [18:33] zvtac u there // [18:33] zionpsyfer, is that an acurate description? [18:33] erUSL: how do i privately talk to somone [18:33] If I go to System->Preferences->Appearance, click the Visual Effects tab, and then select something other than Normal, I get a message box that says "The Composite extension is not available" [18:33] like [18:33] in wow [18:33] you type [18:33] nickrud: how can I blacklist those? [18:33] jarred: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:34] /whisper [18:34] to whisper [18:34] PurpZeY: well different people has different problems with dist upgrades... i have upgraded many times without problems [18:34] jarred: private msgs ?? [18:34] !pm | jarred [18:34] jarred: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [18:34] I wonder if the RC will likely be the same as the final. [18:34] thanks [18:34] OK .. I was unable to use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org ... is there a command to force display0 into a certain resolution ? [18:34] jarred: also you need to be registered in freenode [18:34] !pm erUSUL thanks [18:34] jarred: dmsuperman indeed it is. It's a pretty powerful combination. worth reading the man pages for both find and xargs. you can find based on the creation time, modify time, name, ownership. xargs has a bunch of options as well. [18:35] !register > jarred [18:35] bah [18:35] !register > jarred [18:35] nickrud: I just opened catalyst control center, one sec [18:35] !register [18:35] 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.

[18:35] !register jarred [18:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about register jarred - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:35] dmsuperman, xargs there actually takes a bunch of files piped to it from find .. so it creates something like 'rm file1 file2 file3 .." [18:35] purpzey do u by chnce know the command ? [18:35] PurpZeY: have you tried to use the nv driver?? [18:35] zionpsyfer, cool. One quick problem though, it says "xargs: unmatched single quote; by default quotes are special to xargs unless you use the -0 option" when I run it [18:35] does anyone know how I can listen and rip internet radio stations using just one stream instead of 2 separate streams/connections?

[19:12] Paddie, yes [19:12] Seveas: That's strange, [19:12] will someone help me? im having a problem with a game, sauerbraten [19:12] i cant get it to start [19:12] How can I stretch a layer in GIMP? [19:12] !dontask | millertime_018 [19:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about dontask - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:12] Seveas: Isn't there another way? Cause another machine is Windows XP :( [19:12] millertime_018: which gane? [19:12] Like rightwards [19:12] game* [19:12] millertime_018: Don't ask to ask, just say your question. [19:13] Paddie, hook the machine up to the internet and run apt-get update :) [19:13] what package do i install to get NFS shares? [19:13] sauerbraten [19:13] <|Debian|> Evening. [19:13] matt444, nfs is provided by the kernel [19:13] matt444, nfs-kernel-server if you want to create an nfs share, mount (installed by default) if you want to mount one [19:14] Finnish: layer/scale layer [19:14] when i click it the screen goes black like the game is about to start [19:14] millertime_018, disable compiz and try again [19:14] Finnish or layer->boundary size [19:14] oh. ok [19:14] unop_: when i try to share a folder, I do NOT get NFS as an option. Only SMB. [19:14] murlidhar but y is this problem only persistent in ubuntu? [19:14] no it still didnt work [19:14] matt444, see what seveas just said - perhaps that helps [19:15] millertime_018: run game from terminal and see what it says [19:15] Seveas: I can't, that's the problem [19:15] Sorry, I explained it wrong. I mean like stretching the top right, while the floor stays still [19:16] yeah you need to launch something in terminal so u can see the error output if you have problems [19:16] I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org and selected all resolutions and it screwed up the xserver to where I can't boot into a visual gui now ... Even when rebooting X server through uubuntu's ctrl-alt-BackSpace command.. So is there another way to start linux up through it's command line so that ALL things including xserver will boot using 1 resoltuion I set ? This is my last try and if I can't make it work I will loose all of m [19:16] nitin, i am not sure i am a noobie .btw is it only in ubuntu? [19:16] how do i run the game from the terminal? [19:16] just type in game name into terminal [19:16] you type the name in [19:16] And by command line I mean at boot when u press C or E ... not after starting the kernel up by selecting the version of Ubuntu u want to boot.. [19:16] yeah because earlier i was using opensuse and had no problems [19:16] should work 90% of the time (if the games binary's name is the same i.e) [19:17] but i just love ubuntu now [19:17] the game might not be in your $PATH so you might need to cd into the directory the game is in [19:17] its too cool [19:17] :) [19:17] How do I get a nice Widget on Ubuntu? [19:17] Orbixx: What do you mean? [19:17] It's Perspective-tool! [19:17] nitin, also it is better if u ask ur question rather than giving a link to visit [19:17] Just, a widget. [19:17] What is the "address" for NFS shares? [19:17] I've seen other desktops with widgets. [19:17] Does anyone know if there's a patch available for the native rt2870(D-link DWA-140) driver to make it compile in hardy? [19:17] ok [19:17] I got this output and the start_stop_count was increasing rapidly. So, I applied hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda and now its under control. But what about the [19:17] Orbixx, install the screenlets package [19:17] "SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1" thing? I mean thefailures? The laptop is under warranty, so should I opt for a new HDD?.Also, will this bug get removed in 8.04? I mean I recently shifted fromopensuse to ubuntu and love this distro and expect this bug to beremoved [19:18] Orbixx: Are you using GNOME or KDE? [19:18] ffm: Gnome. [19:18] Orbixx: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/03/17/os-x-like-widgets-with-screenlets-on-ubuntu-3rd-update/ [19:18] I'm trying to install some fonts, but when I type fons:// into Nautilus, I am told 'Nautilus cannot handle fonts: locations. [19:19] does anybody knows well tomcat ? [19:19] ok i did, it gave some error reports in the terminal do you want those? [19:19] nitin, since the ubuntu hardy is coming there are a lot of developers that aren't present since they are working hard in getting hardy released in time [19:19] Orbixx: Well, you can add screenlets.

[19:25] Im stuck at resizing partion at 0% its been like that for the past hour or so. any 1 have any ideas why? [19:25] nothing useful as far as i see it [19:25] must be a bug in the game [19:25] did you try googling for it? [19:25] odder, it is just that they changed for a new Xorg, as far as I know... and it does most thing automagically... unfortunately the xorg automagically gets it wrong :) [19:25] alright ill do that too [19:25] free1, I wouldn't know, sorry.

Upon removing wubi I no longer get the grub menu. When I checked the second hard disk it had all of the linux filesystem stuff on it though. Any ideas what could be wrong?

I've tried everything posible to fix my resolution ... is there a way to start a terminal from one of the ctl-alt-f1through6 keys ? like xterm as a command ? [19:51] Its worked before.. [19:51] i'm guessing if I can start a terminal I can try the reconfigure again.. [19:51] WildChil17, no. [19:51] I did it with that command ompaul, and its still running [19:51] no output to cmd prompt or anything [19:51] WildChil17, he'll still need access to applications etc... === real_one is now known as DNG [19:51] kyleky, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop <---- you did that [19:51] Seveas: still no change === DNG is now known as DNPG [19:52] yes [19:52] Seveas: I know, but he can easily copy pictures... videos...

[19:55] oh ok [19:55] Seveas: yep. it's carrying on [19:55] HenryBen, excellent, but it may be moving in the wrong (well, not entirely wrong, but it'll stop too soon) direction. Ping me when it's done so we can check if it broke [19:56] Seveas: ok. will do. it's claiming that it will be over an hour. we'll see. thanks. [19:56] Yeah ... umm... I swear I am going to take my hd out and burn it slowly in the oven... but I can't get a terminal prompt from ctrl alt f1 through 6 ...

WILL it SAVE the file ? [19:58] Seveas : Can u assist me in getting my psybnc running [19:58] DiViN3, no [19:58] haizzzzzzzzz [19:58] can anyone help me in a issue setting up psybnc [19:59] 2 questions. Is there a good website making program that can build sites in PHP. and how do i do alt codes in ubuntu? [19:59] kyleky, na - I told you what I do when I am doing it myself [19:59] ubotu: Thanks, will try that channel [19:59] kyleky, maybe look for typos [19:59] isn't it ctrl+o what saves files in nano? [19:59] ughh... brb .. thanks seveas.. i'll try the ctrl x thing.. brb [19:59] sudo ls doesnt return anything [19:59] odder: just do ctrl+x and itll ask if you want to save [19:59] Itaku, ctrl+shift+u1234 (replace 1234 with any unicode codepoint) [19:59] When I installed Ubuntu, I used fdisk to change a partition of mine. My HDD had two 250g partitions; One for windows and one for where I install my games to. The one with my games was 1 cylinder over the boundaries of my HDD and I fixed it using fdisk. Now the partition is unknown and I would love to get it back working. Any suggestions? [19:59] thanks [20:00] Itaku: yeah, I know, I'm just wondering.. I've always used ctrl+o :) [20:00] and is there a good website making program that can build sites in PHP? [20:00] odder, ctrl+o saves, ctrl+x quits and asks to save [20:00] Itaku vim ^_^ [20:00] earthmeLon, ZZ for you then :) [20:00] thanks earthmeLon :) [20:00] you should be +o [20:00] youre awesome [20:00] Hardly, lol [20:01] Seveas: I know :) it's another person who asked how to save files in nano, and you all told him/her its ctrl+x instead of ctrl+o [20:01] will: left dam!! I wanted to thank him for the help. My disk boot failuer was just the cable. [20:01] earthmeLon: did you try to toggle partition type using fdisk? [20:01] I like vim because you can use it remotely through ssh and it color codes everything for you. So, you can save and not have to re-load (like with ftp) and you can see easily [20:02] Dowah: you can always leave him a memo here on freenode if he's registered (and you, too) :) [20:02] No DNPG. I know nothing about fdisk and didnt want to create further problems [20:02] You're suggesting I open the partition and "toggle partition type"? [20:02] wait vim is a terminal thing. i dont know php but i want to make a site in PHP with a GUI app like iWeb but in php. is that possible? [20:02] odder ty .How do I find out if he is registered? [20:02] any one help me get the man 3 pages? [20:02] Itaku, try bluefish [20:02] k [20:02] Oh, no. Vim requires you to know PHP. Sorry, didnt know that's what you meant [20:02] thanks [20:02] Dowah, /msg nickserv info nickname_here [20:03] you should be moderator on here [20:03] ok [20:03] earthmeLon: if the partition type is unknown, maybe identifying the partition type will solve the problem... I hope.

[20:08] my computer doesn't have anything like sda or scd in /dev/, but /dev/sda1 is mounted. what can i do? should i reboot? [20:08] I would assume it's a year out of date, I haven't used this computer in over a year, or upgraded it. But it was working when I tried it a few months ago. [20:09] Ax-Ax, You could try a re-boot. ALso, there is a command to remount all your hdd's. Let me see if I can remember it [20:09] I have an mp3 flash player that only supports MTP mode. None of my audio programs pick it up automatically but when i do lsusb...i see it there. and MTP-Detect picks it up at least to some degree === vova_kubba is now known as vova_kubba[Away] [20:09] earthmeLon: they are mounted, but i want a dvd to mount [20:10] An ISO, Ax-Ax or a real DVD?

[20:17] will: And what about that problem with terminals? I'm currently reading big forum post on ubuntuforums. When I installed 7.04 I had no problems, it appeared after upgrade to 7.10 (with nvidia-glx-new).

[21:14] will, ubuntu will recognize 4gb if you have a 32bit addressing, any more and it won't see it [21:14] DISPLAY=:x.x app [21:14] Yeah [21:14] oh, great [21:14] i'll try thank, thank you [21:14] basically there is an option in most bioses that will stop any software from writing to the boot sector for protection from boot sector viruses. but when you try and install an OS, the OS (in this case ubuntu) installs grub and it gets told to run from the boot sector. the boot sector is basically a spot on the harddrive that tells your computer where to find a boot loader and etc [21:14] SeaPhor :just don´t format home and install on previous root [21:15] tomd123: OK cool, one more reason to stop using Windows! :) Thanks, you lot in here are so helpful. [21:15] SeaPhor, reinstall. uncheck the box to format /home [21:15] if you have boot sector protection on, ubuntu wont be able to write grub to the boot sector properly. that could be causing your problem [21:15] when i am connected to internet via a broad band connection, hw do i ssh to another comp if i knwo its ip [21:16] anyone? this is an easy question, how do you keep ip forwarding on after reboot? [21:16] ssh user@ip [21:16] sathya: ssh ip [21:16] scout_, you mean on your router/ [21:16] ? [21:16] tried but its not working [21:16] yeah, and use if it's different than your current one [21:16] i trie telnet also [21:16] how can I get 32bit python 2.4 libraries for my amd64 system? [21:16] LOL, I see why no one else has taken the name 'Will' my name is being highlighted everywhere. :) [21:16] sathya: specify the port also [21:16] xeer, oh why 32bit python? [21:16] that worked great xtknight [21:16] Coniferous, glad to hear [21:16] thanks [21:16] ok.. [21:16] zvacet, wont that also auto install another /home directory? [21:17] xtknight: my application depends on the 32bit build. [21:17] sp33dy, sure, i have setup an ubuntu router for dual-wan connections. but after each reboot i have to echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. i used to remember where to set this but no longer do. [21:17] anyone using toshiba laptop with phoenix bios ? if so how do u set the lcd brightness.. ? [21:17] xeer, the best option is to install a 32bit chroot and build your app within the 32bit chroot [21:17] sp33dy, startup script somewhere i am sure i just place that in there [21:17] SeaPhor : no it will install OS at root partition [21:17] sp33dy, unless you meant abou thow to keep the default gw in route [21:17] xeer, installing 32bit python libs is possible also though by extracting i386 debs from packages.ubuntu.com into /usr/lib32, most likely [21:17] I`d like to test if I can connect to a mssql database from my server.. what would be easiest way.. I need to get hardaccess so I can install the php extensions for it, but I cant do that till monday.. id just like to test to see if i can connect, login, and select my databse [21:17] zvacet, and can i ust the live cd or do i need the alternate?

[21:18] @jvxr usually on your notebook keyboard there will be other pictures on the key that you can use while holding down the Fn key [21:18] please help me [21:18] fxfitz, yes [21:18] fxfitz, as long as that is a linux partition [21:18] millertime_018, you running compiz? [21:18] @jvxr on mine, i hold down Fn and press the down arrow key [21:18] @BCBudLover, yes but the brightness is set only for each session, [21:18] xtknight, Yup. I just mounted that partition with knoppix and it is the partition that Hardy just installed [21:18] yea [21:19] if you logout/ sleep / hibernate its back to 100 % brightness.. [21:19] and its glaring bright [21:19] nick/ sathya.phoenic [21:19] its Fn+F6/7 for me [21:19] weird, even when the notebook isn't plugged in? [21:19] zvacet, will that take-out/uninstall Envy? (hope so) and my other installed programs? (hope not) [21:19] xtknight, Hmm. When I do setup (hd0) though, it says it doesn't see /boot/grub/stage1... Any ideas? [21:19] millertime_018, you need to tell player to use X11 to play the movie. It's a compiz issue [21:20] fxfitz, hmm setup installs it to the mbr right? [21:20] BCBudLover, I usally work with it plugged one [21:20] on* [21:20] how do i do that? [21:20] xtknight, Yup, I believe so. [21:20] fxfitz, well you need to specify the right --root-directory to the grub-install command. --root-directory needs to be set to the directroy ABOVE /boot [21:20] milardovich, please append or prefix the users name that you are talking to, it gets very noisey in here, hard to follow [21:20] millertime_018, ^^ [21:20] millertime_018, also, you need to go to Settings -> Preferences -> Video -> Output modules === cellofellow_ is now known as cellofellow [21:21] :-p no problem [21:21] and select X11 Video Output. [21:21] SeaPhor : if you do ffesh install it will unistall programs but you will keep settings on your home partition [21:21] xtknight, Right. I set the root directory to (hd0,0) which is sda1, where Hardy install put all the files. However, during installation it said that it couldn't install grub. Does anything need to go onto the partition for grub? [21:21] @BCBudLover, I use a a105-s4334 its around a year old with he latest bios updates [21:21] has anyone made a script for a LiveUsbPendrivePersistent install for ubuntu? [21:21] xtknight: I have the i386 package for python2.4, how would I extract the dependancies? [21:21] i remember reading something about a program u can install to get more power management options. i found it on ubuntu brainstorm, im trying to find it again [21:21] fxfitz, hmm well i'm not too familiar with using the setup cmd as i always do "sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt/myhardypartition" [21:22] xeer, if you're trying to use 32bit python dev libraries on a 64bit machine i really dont know how to do that [21:22] @erat123: try http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [21:22] xtknight, Alright, well, I'll just try that then! :-D [21:22] has anyone been able to change the Ubuntu icon that shows in the "Applications" menu by default? I want to change it to Tux ... I understand you have to change the "distributor-logo.png" file .. but there are several directories with this same file. Which one points to "Ubuntu" logo? [21:22] fxfitz, i think that should do it [21:22] i used the tools they have to install 8.04 on my laptop [21:23] I have ubuntu installed on my 2nd harddrive and I can't get it to boot. I just changed my harddrive boot order, and the os shows up in grub, but then tells me "no such partition" when I go to boot it...does anyone have any idea what is going on here? [21:23] @ BCBudLover83 ok [21:23] xeer, i strongly recommend trying the chroot method, otherwise you may have to set environment variables to where you extracted the 32bit libs and everytihng [21:23] cirkit, /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png [21:23] as far as i am aware [21:24] Is anyone working on a package for open-vm-tools? I can't find it in the repositories (or perhaps it is under a different name?) [21:25] away... [21:25] millertime_018, you fix it? [21:25] the workaround I gave you seems to work on practically every sysyem running compiz-fusion [21:25] no you didnt tell me how [21:26] i did [21:26] xtknight, Hmm. It gave me something like: This is the contents of the device map /media/sda1/boot/grub/device.map. Check if its correct and run again [21:26] xeer, if you realy want to extract 32bit python debs then you can use "mc" (midnight commander, get it thru apt-get) or the far more clumsy method of "ar x filename.deb", tar xzvf data.tar.gz [21:26] millertime_018, also, you need to go to Settings -> Preferences -> Video -> Output modules [21:26] and select X11 Video Output. [21:26] xtknight, (fd0) /dev/fd0 and (hd0) /dev/sda [21:26] xtknight: nice, ty [21:26] xtknight, Should I just rerun it again? [21:26] s0ftmachine : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179902&highlight=boot+two+drives [21:26] anyone can tell me how to make ubuntu mount a ntfs usb drive ? [21:26] fxfitz, try "sudo chroot /media/sda1" and then "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" with no rootdir parameter [21:27] millertime_018, you got that? [21:27] fxfitz, it might be fine as it was, if that was the only 'warning' it gave you. but chroot is a good idea also [21:27] Lynet, there is some indication of a merge with debian experimental, not sure if it has made it's way into the ubuntu repositories yet. http://merges.ubuntu.com/o/open-vm-tools/ [21:27] unop: Thanks. [21:28] Hi! [21:28] xtknight, When I chroot, grub isn't installed so I can't use grub-install. It's telling me to use apt-get (but I don't have any internet when I'm using Knoppix for some reason) [21:28] If I currently have my windows system on a RAID 0 stripe and I boot from them. (I also have an IDE drive that Ubuntu is installed on) Ubuntu boots fine but I can't access the raid 0 stripe inside Ubuntu. is there some way to do this? do I need to load some sorta Nvidia raid driver module? or is it a boot time parameter thingy? (please don't tell me I have to recompile the kernel or something LOL) [21:28] live2k4-> try sudo mount /dev/sdbX /mnt -t ntfs-3g where sdbX is where ever your usb ntfs partiton is [21:28] fxfitz, oh that's odd. well the previous command SHOULD have worked [21:28] fxfitz, oh you might need to do sudo /usr/sbin/grub-install or something but i dont know if thisll do it [21:28] how can i see were the drive is [21:29] fxfitz, how did grub not get installed on your partition? [21:29] I'm running virtualbox on a ubuntu host, and the guest os is windowsxp. I have a problem with using pptp vpn in windows: it can never complete making the connection to the remote network [21:29] Yo! === DriveTrax is now known as MrSteve [21:29] live2k4-> fdisk -l [21:29] xtknight, I don't know. When I did the install, it just kept syaing that GRUB wasn't instlaled [21:29] ? [21:29] it dont showq up [21:29] eh, is being a kde fan rather than liking gnome a crime? gesh [21:29] !who | live2k4 [21:29] live2k4: 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 :) [21:30] is it possible to make pptp work in windows when its a guest of ubuntu under virtualbox? [21:30] bazhang ?? [21:30] i'm trying to get an svn server + apache + Trac ticketing system running on my mythbuntu box. I followed this tutorial http://www.subversionary.org/howto/setting-up-a-subversion-server-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-server and everything seems to work except I can't get apache to prompt passwords. Instead i can just walk right into the track wiki and change things without logging in, which should not happen. [21:31] is there a converter for flash to avi/mpg for linux? [21:32] xtknight, I was able to get internet, so I'm chrooting and using apt-get for grub now. [21:32] swf2... in windows [21:32] look ay SF [21:32] DarkAnt-> maybe you can try to clear the cache adn cookies of your browser first, shut it down, then start it again, then hit your web server [21:32] yeah, i didn't try clearing out the cache [21:32] i'll give that a shot [21:32] hello [21:32] hello [21:33] amenado i ran the cammand but i get ero fuse: device not found try modprobe fuse [21:33] Hey.. man, I stuck the drive in, and the pc starts, and see it, but windows doesnt [21:34] nope, still no password prompt [21:34] I go to use Unetbootin-under windows, and the prompt asks me for what drive to put the Ubuntu on [21:34] so.. it's stuck at c [21:34] amenado madule fuse not founf [21:34] Now, I thought grub/or SuperGrub did this Auto Part/Format thing [21:35] hey sup, just joined cos tomorrow i wanna install ubuntu( once again ) but wanna know more about which build i should choose, amd64 or x86. i obviously have an 64bit processor, just troubling myself concerning stuff like compatibility, efficiency and how to install ia32 libs for 32bit apps [21:35] amenado: clearing the cache didn't work [21:35] @cppnewbie not worht the trouble [21:35] or if i simply shouldnt bother and install 32bit build [21:35] live2k4-> what command you run?

[21:53] :) [21:53] plazia -- maybe need a Raid driver .. Raid controller under Linux.. [21:54] Rolandito say it [21:54] Animortis: install the External Address addon for firefox, it will always display it [21:54] w8 [21:54] MrSteve, pcAngel Lynet right thanks for the advice. I'll have to look into this [21:54] plazia -- I am trying to find where I saw this .. for you. [21:54] :) [21:54] so I'll have to re-install ubuntu then? [21:54] !ask | Rolandito [21:54] Rolandito: 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. :-) [21:54] i've a problem to install neostats.. [21:54] JOY :) [21:54] Rolandito: no wait, you ask the question in full detail, then we answer. [21:55] the curl method is the most effective. Thanks all. [21:55] plazia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto you probably need dmraid [21:55] What I'm trying to do is make it easy to know my IP address so i can run an ftp server for backups at home.

[21:56] In gnome, no drag and drop-like things for applications seem to work.. is there something I should have installed/running that handles this? for example, I can't drag applications out of my applications menu and on to my desktop, or in to avant-window-manager [21:56] Rolandito: otherwise, we can't help you effectively. [21:56] Lynet, MrSteve thanks I'll read both of those. [21:56] Rolandito never mind just ask it clear then we can help you [21:56] Animortis: curl method is easily scripted, the format has not changed in many years on that site [21:56] Gnea ok waiting [21:56] Does anybody know why on AMD-ATI site in release notes for Catalyst is marked the support for X1100 video card, but there are no any drivers for this card in the list of avalible drivers? [21:56] im looking for drivers for my sound card before installing ubuntu (wanna be ready), and it seems there is no official driver for it, is there some kind of substitute or some kind of open source driver that can at least use its basic functions etc.? [21:56] some generic kind of driver [21:56] hI. i am trying to setup bandwidth limiter wondershaper,and i have a problem. i dont have a entry eth0 in my /etc/network/interfaces. theres only 2 lines. auto lo and iface lo inet loopback ..i should add lines after the eth0(which isnt there) [21:56] cppnewbie: have you tried booting the ubuntu live cd on the relevant machine? [21:56] cppnewbie, generaly ubuntu will just work with sound [21:57] plazia: No, you probably don't need to reinstall unless you want to boot Linux off the raid. If you just want to get access to the raid you need dmraid to find/activate the raid array and then you can mount it like any other partition. [21:57] the normal Ubuntu system provides only 20 devices for partitions, so you may not install on partitions higher than 20 unless you first manually create devices for those partitions. [21:57] cppnewbie how can you install driver before you install os [21:57] spee3dy: last time i did actually install it i just got some beeps from the pc speaker, sound didnt work [21:57] ohh [21:57] Lynet, oh kewl [21:57] mikegriffin, Any advise on getting it to tell potential client PCs its own IP over the net?

[21:58] also, ubuntu has move along quickly [21:58] spee3dy: okay, just gonna wait till the new i386 disc is downloaded [21:58] Animortis: sign up for a dyndns.org account [21:58] cppnewbie, also, alot of drivers are available from the ubuntu repos [21:58] tanks all [21:59] Animortis: then install a client to keep it updated, then people can just hit Animortis.dyndns.org [21:59] plazia -- sda0, sda1 [21:59] i find a solution on my problem [21:59] Rolandito what for ?

I currently can't get Ubuntu to connect to any AdHoc networks while regular access point netowkrs work. [22:26] Hey fellas. Been playing about with wireshark today and this evening have found that every few seconds my box is pinging a particular ip. I have no idea how to go about isolating which process is initiating the pings. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I know that the ip address in question is actually a gateway onto my ISP's network as I was port scanning a friend ealier to check his firewall. It is not my gateway [22:26] iclebyte: the loopback addy is there by default and it is possible that removing it will break some things. windows' hosts file contains this as well iirc. [22:26] gogeta yes [22:26] I'm trying to network my 2 PCs so I can transfer files. Samba works fine when using my wireless, but when I connect via ethernet, and configure the IPs, neither computer can ping each other. is there anything I need to do here? [22:27] dabbill, I was just going to suggest a screenshot, luckily i stopped myself ;) Type all the text that it says, verbatim [22:27] I set the ips to be 192.168.0.100/101 === nl is now known as nl|away [22:27] dmsuperman, do what? [22:27] gegeta and zvacet: i need it to wait for my input forever. so i set it to 0? wouldn't that make it boot ubuntu no matter what? [22:27] ferric84, are they both connected to the same router, or able to access each other through your network? [22:28] dabbill, Anything that it says beside "Staring up...." will help us determine what's actually going on [22:28] dmsuperman: yes. However, I want to take them off the wireless network (i.e., router), and directly connect them [22:28] lakotajames i beleve 0 = infinty but i have never tryed [22:28] ok. thanks. [22:28] ferric84, For that you need a crossover cable, are you using one? [22:28] dmsuperman: the router is too far away to run cables [22:28] zionpsyfer, any idea what it will break?... [22:28] dmsuperman: yes [22:28] dmsuperman, thats all it says on the screen nothing else comes up after i hit enter to load Windows XP from grub menu [22:28] Any ideas on how to reconfigure the sound in 8.04, Ubuntu no longer detects my audio device. But I it does show up in the hardware information. [22:28] I'll try that then [22:28] thanks again. [22:28] lakotajames if that happened you will easy change that [22:28] ok. [22:29] ferric84, Then I'm out of ideas haha...I never was able to get computers to make a connection just using a crossover cable [22:29] lakotajames i found some info lets see [22:29] zionpsyfer, surely 127.0.0.1 is enough?

Anyone got any ideas where to start off looking or heard of it before [22:41] uhh.. Anyone know how to activate HEADPHONE JACK in Ubuntu? I plug it in and nothing at all happens.. if I restart while it's plugged in it works fine though. [22:41] i have been working with several different players for mov files, totem doesn't work for me, and vlc will not play the sound, so I found miro and was happy. I tried to customize the miro gui and it froze and now totem has frozen up on me too. What files or packages would both apps need to access that a problem would affect both of them? [22:41] could someone help a confused noob with awn install/setup? I've tried it in the past and it was a horrid affair to say the least. I have a new fresh install of Gutsy now :) [22:42] and when I say +x, I mean chmod +x [22:42] Well, I'm off.

[22:43] hi, I'm a newbie, i wanna enable intel speedstep [22:43] Shepherd: I have to turn on the "headphone jack sense" on mine (as well as "External Amplifier" to hear anything): Open Volume Control > Edit > Preferences [22:44] plz help, i am half way thru the installation, partition manager, i had 7.10 amd64 with seperate /home partition, am installing 7.10 32bit, dont see option to leave the /home /home [22:44] I looked up in my cpu folder [22:44] Animortis: i found this link helpful http://girasoli.org/?p=120 [22:44] Animortis, : and i will pastie my init.d modified file [22:44] Animortis, : stand by [22:44] and there were no cpufreq folder [22:44] SeaPhor just don´t check it [22:44] !shipit [22:44] shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs.

It refuses to run on Feisty giving me this error: " symbol lookup error: acetoneiso2: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData7detach2Ev [22:45] " [22:45] zvacet: will it put another default /home in the filesystem? [22:45] I had to remove the front speaker sound [22:45] zvacet: in the / dir? [22:45] and headphone enabled automatically [22:45] fileplanet didnt work [22:46] zvacet: do i delete the existing / partition? [22:47] SeaPhor you will check partition you want to format and that will be root / and don´t touch home [22:47] hey, anyone know of a simple tutorial to install web admin for trac on ubuntu (hardy), I cant seem to figure http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WebAdmin out [22:47] SeaPhor yes [22:47] Hey, what's the principal difference between Ubuntu, KUbuntu, Xubuntu and the rest?

[22:49] zvacet: Thank you :-)) [22:49] cizra: then you just install xfce, that's all [22:49] GIn: OK [22:49] Which should I install on my new AMD X2 PC? Ubuntu, Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu JeOS, Xubuntu, UbuntuStudio, or Mythbuntu? [22:49] cizra:http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [22:49] Animortis, : the important thing is to run the command that sets up the modified init.d file in the rc.d directory [22:49] SeaPhor np [22:50] Animortis, : if you don't do that command, it won't run [22:50] zvacet: enlightening. Thanks. [22:50] Animortis, : and you have to reboot (obviously) after it is configured [22:50] cizra np [22:50] Animortis, : good luck [22:50] Can you register a project to launchpad which doesn't allow redistribution with modifications. [22:50] anyone have a suggestion for a good dock program? The one with the least amount of bugs of course? [22:51] anteaya, Er, thanks, I think.

[22:54] Alphageek_ I mean if that is only way out why not? I why do you think you will have to manualy configure x?
