[00:00] its waiting on you t accept it. [00:00] may i ask exactly who are the coders of ubuntu are they just everyone or anyone? [00:00] goat|work ... Windows is not there at all anymore, I installed over it [00:00] x1250: wasnt able to actually get into ubuntu and I dont know enough terminal to diagnose [00:00] ubuntoROX it won't let me send private msgs on this server, don't know if that will affect sending files as well [00:00] matt____: If the LiveCD doesn't work, it's likely to be a graphics card driver problem. [00:00] cygoku: oh [00:00] Oh wow! [00:00] have an email address? [00:00] Auto 3D windows [00:00] will I need to boot from the alt.CD, or can I just ... [00:00] oddalot@yahoo.com [00:00] PePa: no just have to mount it and add it as a repository [00:00] cygoku: yes, then if you have, sure [00:00] f0rmat, you can find more info about that on launchpad.net [00:00] how can graphics card problems be solved in the live cd? [00:01] Who had the pink window problem in this screenshot? http://www.multigesture.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/screenshot.png [00:01] tanath, thankyou [00:01] RyanPrior: One last question, I have compiz and all my themes setup just the way I like them, will they stay the same after the uprgrade (I'm using AWN with modified Mac4lin and Compiz is all set perfect) [00:01] RyanPrior: perhaps...but 7.10 is working fine. how could i check/fix though? the live cd takes me to a "busybox", not a normal terminal. [00:01] barslow: /var/log/Xorg.0.log is the place to look, or ~/.xsession-errors [00:01] cygoku: i wont be able to watch the channel, so if you have more q's message me [00:01] dragao-azul, use "safe graphics mode" [00:01] tcpdumpgod, any advice? [00:01] barslow, should be no change [00:01] goat|work ... Thank you, and sorry for my rudeness earlier [00:01] hmm [00:01] OK [00:01] barslow: I'd just about bet that something will break and you'll spend hours reconfiguring things. Upgrades tend to mess with your stuff. [00:01] abrandes, then how can i solve the problems? make my ati card work fine? [00:01] thanks Maco [00:01] Fishscene: nvidia driver quality [00:01] glaxo, did you answer my last question? [00:01] can you mount an encrypted lvm in Vista? [00:01] barslow, actually.. [00:01] i wonder how nerdy it would be if all these 1500 people where in a room at one time [00:01] he i installed build essential and tried to "make" but i get this error http://pastebin.com/m6dda8b39 [00:02] there you go,, thats the one thats set for resolution auto, it should work for you. [00:02] glaxo, are you able to get a DHCP IP from the router? [00:02] ryanprior: im just gunna stick with gutsy then [00:02] barslow: should stay, yes [00:02] tcpdumpgod, no - i get "No DHCPOFFERS received" [00:02] ok thanks, let me try it [00:02] modes anyhow [00:02] wow conflicting opinions [00:02] barslow, it may switch to the new default theme, but you can save your current theme/settings, and switch back after upgrade [00:02] matt___try a different CD reader...try adding ide=nodma on command line when you boot into the installer. [00:02] oddalot: That's the Ubuntu Live conference. :-) [00:02] barslow: stick with gutsy forever? [00:02] glaxo, do you know your routers ip address? 192.168.1.1? [00:02] RyanPrior: perhaps...but 7.10 is working fine. how could i check/fix though? the live cd takes me to a "busybox", not a normal terminal. [00:02] i dont understand how to change the flags [00:02] tcpdumpgod, 192.168.0.1 [00:02] barslow, i didn't have that problem though [00:02] like that error states [00:02] laeg: i dont want to but i dont wanna risk having to reformat my HD again [00:02] glaxo, are you using KDE or Gnome? [00:02] tcpdumpgod, gnome [00:02] Maco: it looked like the "mirror" or "shadow" (I forgot which) option in Compiz could fix that issue (Disabling the mirror or shadow effects) [00:03] RyanPriot: Where is this ubuntu live conference? [00:03] can i install ubuntu from a ntfs? without the wubi thing? i don't have a dvd to burn it on [00:03] err when too [00:03] barslow: your compiz settings will be saved. there are more features in the new compiz though, so you might want to explore them after you upgrade [00:03] I Love You All! [00:03] glaxo, have you tried setting your IP to 192.168.0.100, your netmask to 255.255.255.0, and your gateway to 192.168.0.1? [00:03] barslow, there's always a risk when upgrading. personally, it fixed a lot of stuff for me, and i had minimal issues [00:03] RyanPrior: well, what would i search google for to fix this graphics card setting? [00:03] tcpdumpgod, I have (with 192.168.0.200) as .100 is already taken [00:03] barslow, and none of my settings in anything changed [00:03] I think its faster than gutsy was. [00:03] barslow: It's certainly possible that you could upgrade and have everything work perfectly - the Ubuntu developers certainly try hard to make that happen. You can't bet on it, though. [00:03] mohbana: there are ways to install without burning, check it out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [00:03] glaxo, is 192.168.0.101 taken? [00:03] brb [00:04] tcpdumpgod, yes [00:04] Hm. [00:04] salve a tutti! [00:04] matt____: Google and the Ubuntu Forums are good places to search. [00:04] heh, "select best server" "no suitable server was found" [00:04] yeah, it's faster :D [00:04] tanath: i am correct in assuming if I run the live-cd and have no issues that the upgrade will work? [00:04] glaxo, do that now... [00:04] RyanPrior: given my hardware, id take that bet [00:04] I am unable, for some reason, to install any extensions. [00:04] set your ip to 192.168.0.101 [00:04] RyanPrior: same question [00:04] matt____: If you can get a hold of Amaranth, he/she tends to know a lot about graphics card issues as well. [00:04] tcpdumpgod, i have tried a manual set up through gnomes network manager and through /etc/network/interfaces and it still doesnt work [00:04] netmask: 255.255.255.0 [00:04] Sorry for being a pain - first upgrade. [00:04] barslow, that should be the case, though i've seen the livecd not work, and the install work... [00:04] Anyone know why I can't play 2 sounds at the same time? [00:04] glaxo, check your PMs [00:04] barslow: im using my compiz settings from feisty [00:04] And I mean, extensions in Firefox. [00:04] make sure that FF3 is completely shut down before starting ff2 [00:04] barslow: it works fine [00:04] RyanPrior: ok, thanks [00:04] tanath: interesting [00:04] saladin. ur such a pain... :) [00:04] hi, i installed the fglrx driver on ati but fgl_glxgears is not working and 3d apps are generally slow (like q3 in this super machine), can anyone hlelp me? [00:04] if i install ubuntu is there any "easy" way to get my ATI HD2900Pro card working with all the graphics effects? [00:05] Cpudan80: upgrading from gutsy? [00:05] like ehh if I am using rhythmbox and xchat at the same time - and I get pinged in xchat, I wont hear the ping [00:05] x1250: Yeah - just did [00:05] Saladin,, make sure FF3 is completely shut down before starting FF2 [00:05] i enabled my wireless in restricted drivers. Why won't it work? [00:05] barslow, there can be issues running of a disc. it's slower for one [00:05] barslow: No, the LiveCD is not proof positive that the upgrade will work. The upgrade is affected by all the changes and customizations you make, so some of those may be messed with and you'll have to reconfigure things the way you want them. [00:05] Amaranth: hey buddy...after trying the 8.04 live cd (kubuntu and ubuntu), neither boots, both take me to a busybox, could this be a graphics issue? [00:05] is there any kernel difference between server/desktop editions? [00:05] Cpudan80: try installing pulseaudio [00:05] glaxo, check your private messages [00:05] Would it be smart to go for update to hardy or is a clean install better choice ??? [00:05] romulo: are you using fglrx on a card that is so old its not supported with taght driver? thats the symptoms i saw when opensuse tried to use that driver on a radeon 9250 [00:05] I'm real nervous about upgrading [00:05] tcpdumpgod, I cant reply as im not registered - let me register [00:05] otherwise you are still actually running FF3,, same thing happens the other way. [00:05] dragao-azul, run 'gksu displayconfig-gtk' [00:05] omg.. the chanel is very busy today, more than usual =D [00:05] mad_max02: i alwaws clean install. the only time i tried updating, it didn't work right :(* [00:05] Cpudan80: then configure pulseaudio to be used in system->prefs->sound [00:05] maco, my card is supported, its an x600 mobility [00:05] i finally have ubuntu exactly how i like it [00:05] okay glaxo [00:06] x1250: I'll give it a shot - thanks [00:06] tanath, after that will it work fine? i don't have to do anything else? [00:06] Conventional wisdom dictates that clean installs are always better (and cleaner) than upgrades [00:06] my ubuntu is so how I like it its booring now :) [00:06] barslow: If you have it exactly how you want it, no pressure to upgrade! It's still supported for many months. [00:06] barslow: go on, it'll be alright, or fun sorting it out [00:06] is there any kernel difference between server/desktop editions? [00:06] dragao-azul, to configure X right. then run 'glxinfo | grep -i direct' to check for direct rendering [00:06] matt____, thanks dude. I'll dl the 64 bit ver and install it tomorrow. [00:06] ok, I got Ubuntu discs in the mail today. I'm the first to admit, I know little to know little to nothing about linux. When I pop in the disc (v 7.10 x64) I select install Ubuntu, and then loss of video input. I Have no idea where to start? [00:06] barslow: If it's perfect right now, then it's only downhill from here, right? [00:06] igormorgado: Nope, same kernel. [00:06] i need some help.. when i try to start ubuntu it doesn't start.. some busybox shell is started please help ?:S === glaxo is now known as glaxo1 [00:06] RyanPrior: thank you [00:06] dragao-azul, there's a 'test' button to make sure you have it configured right, but after that, it should be good [00:06] igormorgado: Same kernel, same packages, same tool chain, etc. [00:06] guys, I have no firebug any more, cant work like that, why this is not mentioned? [00:07] Yeah, I made sure FF3 was shut down, but still no success in installing extensions [00:07] pale-yafa: Firebug works. [00:07] igormorgado: no, server has no desktop only [00:07] tanath, ok, thz i'm going to try that [00:07] Saladin, still having trouble with extensions? did you try that extension i mentioned? [00:07] wierd,, you went to terminal and ran ps ax|grep firefox [00:07] pale-yafa: firebug 1.2 [00:07] RyanPrior: agreed [00:07] koverartist I cant select case in ubntu. Any Ideas [00:07] RyanPrior: its not, I upgraded to 8.4 and its telling me its not compitable [00:07] Sorry tanath, I missed what you said. [00:07] how long would the online update to 8.04 take? [00:07] pale-yafa: firebug 1.2 [00:07] So..... what do I do if I can't download and install 8.04 if it won't work through the 'recommended' way? [00:08] Saladin, no you didn't [00:08] i'm not quite sure how to explain this properly, but whenever i use screen, apps like vim, that do their own paging, don't clear the screen properly. i'm fairly certain that i just need to tell screen to pretend it's a different terminal, but i don't know which terminal to tell it to be. anyone have ideas? [00:08] i think i'll wait untill there are a couple updates to 8.04 b4 taking the plunge [00:08] pale-yafa: you need to update your firebug [00:08] just to make absolutely sure it was shut down? [00:08] Saladin, was a while ago. you acknowledged it [00:08] hi, im running the memtest from ubuntu cd, how long should it take? [00:08] gnuskoo1: thank you too =D [00:08] Using Hardy Heron RC here ... Are the repos down ?? [00:08] cygoku: of course [00:08] Saladin, nightly tester tools extension [00:08] yes,, but cygoku did you update recently? [00:08] i got thinkpad r51 and gnome is really sluggish on xfce, any hints? intel 82528 graphics card [00:08] dee_cz: It will take forever, literally. It keeps running until you tell it to stop. [00:08] Maco : "of course" ?? [00:08] ryanprior: can you choose to install8.04 without Firefox beta3 [00:08] cygoku: its release day for a very popular distro. what makes you think they could survive that? [00:08] All Servers for Hardy Heron are bogged down at the moment and likely will be for at least another day. [00:08] what do I do if I can't download and install 8.04 if it won't work through the 'recommended' way? [00:08] i need some help.. when i try to start ubuntu it doesn't start.. some busybox shell is started please help ?:S [00:08] igormorgado, RyanPrior: There are kernel differences. They have different hardware support (non-server is more likely to support 'regular' obscure hardware), and server has PREEMPT turned off, among other changes. Of course, you can run a server kernel on the desktop, or a generic kernel on a server. [00:08] dee_cz: The longer it runs without errors, the more sure you are that you don't have faulty memory. :-) [00:08] Saladin, makes firefox think your extensions are compatible. but i recommend enabling them one at a time [00:09] Amaranth: hey buddy...after trying the 8.04 live cd (kubuntu and ubuntu), neither boots, both take me to a busybox, could this be a graphics issue? [00:09] cygoku: this happened last time too. [00:09] RyanPrior: do you know what is the 'safe' margin? how long should it run so that i can say it probably isnt the memory? [00:09] barslow: Nope, distro upgrades are all-or-nothing affairs pretty much. [00:09] Saladin, 'cause some will work, and some won't, and some may prevent it from running [00:09] michael If you have been running the Beta or RC version, and it shows development branch, and no updates available you are likely running stable but will want to run sudo grub-update to fix that. === Dana1 is now known as DanaG [00:09] I think they can survive that because nothing should affect the linux image [00:09] what are other methods of installing 8.04? [00:09] cygoku If you have been running the Beta or RC version, and it shows development branch, and no updates available you are likely running stable but will want to run sudo grub-update to fix that. [00:09] dee_cz: If you're seriously suspicious about your memory, I'd run it for a few hours to get your memory really hot and loaded. [00:09] Flannel: I wish to know if desktop one has virtualization support. [00:09] cygoku: last time the entire ubuntu.com was taken down and replaced with a plain white background, black text "welcome to ubuntu.com here's a list of download links:" page [00:09] teo-: what messages you getting? [00:09] pale-yafa, this is kinda scary: you need to use firebug, but you can't be bothered to check getfirebug.com, where it lists a version of firebug that works with ff3? ;p [00:09] dason, To Upgrade from the CD/ISO, you'll need the alternate ISO or the DVD: run cdromupgrade from the root of the CD/ISO/DVD. To mount the ISO you can 'mount -o loop nameofiso /path/to/mount/' [00:09] So.... Hardy breaks eclipse [00:09] Saladin, if you end up enabling a bad one that prevents it from running, then run an older firefox to fix it [00:09] Fantastic [00:10] Saladin, (ie., disable that extension) [00:10] Dason, or did you mean a fresh install? [00:10] Dason: whats the recommended way that you cant do? [00:10] RyanPrior: its that xp is turning sound from the card into a squeal and gives a bsod every other day, with no specific error... but the 8.04 runs fine :/ [00:10] Well, strangely enough, tanath, that extension installed okay. [00:10] tmccrary: Eclipse is not well supported on Ubuntu. However, I downloaded the latest Eclipse and run it from my /home folder, and it runs fine. [00:10] the update manager [00:10] Whereas all others aren't. [00:10] Saladin, the nightly tester tools? of course ;) [00:10] ok [00:10] RyanPrior: Thanks for the tip. It ran great with Gutsy.... [00:10] My hats off to Hardy Heron! Built in VMware support? How cool is that? [00:10] I don't want a fresh install [00:10] It errored for the third time [00:10] gnuskoo1 i don't get anything i am just putted in the busybox shell [00:11] cwillu: how would I know thats its there? I just got a message that firefox beta does not support firebug, maybe it should say THIS VIRSION of firebug [00:11] heh, never download the desktop iso and the aleternate iso then try to update manager the new release.....it's gonna take me awhile :) [00:11] hey Fujitsu: tested Kubuntu on my laptop... the bcm43xx works fine... the PC even picks up my wireless router now without manual config... it was worth waiting a day :) [00:11] Dason: whats the way that you cant install? we cant recommend alternatives without knowing what it was [00:11] [477.497091] Buffer I/O error on device sr0 Logic lock 169346 [00:11] does xen actually work in hardy ? [00:11] When I use apt-get and the default method of upgrading, it tells me that it can't connect to the server and to check my connection even though it's fine [00:11] Repeats [00:11] pale-yafa: That's true. A better error message would be helpful. [00:11] then a SQUASHFS error [00:11] anyway, if any body interested: Samba broke while upgrading [00:11] Dason: oh...wait 2 days [00:11] Dason: too many people upgrading right now, servers hammered [00:11] Dason,, all the servers are bogged down with users [00:12] Oh that's sensible [00:12] No alternate repo's? [00:12] Dason: Or, download the alternate CD via BitTorrent, burn it and put it in, and upgrade off of there. [00:12] do they release server download stats? [00:12] Dason: theyre all pounded too :P [00:12] Why are there no updates available for my hardy-rc? [00:12] I have the cd [00:12] Saladin, a 'nightly' is a cutting edge build, released every day. it's an extension designed to enable extensions for testing on versions of firefox they aren't designed for [00:12] hi can someone help me setting up my monitor with xorg.conf i can only get 640x480 and i had it working fine in 7.10 [00:12] Dason: you can upgrade from an alternate cd [00:12] Some_Person If you have been running the Beta or RC version, and it shows development branch, and no updates available you are likely running stable but will want to run sudo update-grub to fix that. [00:12] can someone tell me the md5sum for Hardy Desktop iso? just burnt a fresh copy and it is bunk [00:12] Dason: and there actually is a way to make it search for faster/working repos [00:13] Dason, go to System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from other... > Select best server [00:13] Help! I started my dist-upgrade from work via SSH and miscalculated how long it would take! I now have to leave work (and close the SSH connection). If I send the apt-get process to the background, can I bring it to the foreground in a terminal window at home? [00:13] Some_Person, the rc became the r [00:13] What program can i use for ubuntu to display cpu temperture? [00:13] Dason: but um...ask someone who uses a GUI how to do it, not me [00:13] Bittorrent was killer fast. so.. what's the command to use while in the cd? [00:13] also: image with transparent backgrounds are having frames, which was not the case with Gutsy [00:13] Dason: what tanath said [00:13] cwillu: with no changes? [00:13] Live CD only running at 800x600 on NV5700 card - any ideas...? [00:13] So upgrading from ISO can only be done from the alternate install CD? [00:13] Some_Person If you have been running the Beta or RC version, and it shows development branch, and no updates available you are likely running stable but will want to run sudo update-grub to fix that. [00:13] Some_Person: the RC and the final release are the same thing, unless the RC has major errors that get fixed. [00:13] tanath: Buffer I/O error on device sr0 [00:13] <[T]-Rex> anyone from sydney?

[00:15] robeph, you're probably running the release then [00:15] maco: thanks [00:15] cwillu - Thanks a ton, you're a lifesaver! [00:15] Although, tanath, it is now showing all my extensions on this FF2, but none of them work, and I can't click on enable or anything for them. However, before I did the Hardy upgrade, they all worked fine. [00:15] cwillu: ah ok [00:15] guys i get CFLAG error when i try to "make" anyone know solution? [00:15] lol [00:16] DBautell, what do you mean by that ??? [00:16] I have been seeding since the official announcement came out..... :S and its well hammering my network at the moment [00:16] IndyGunFreak: I can't get into any install enviorment avilible on the desktop CD [00:16] sileni: dont use that CFLAG? [00:16] I cannot believe repos are down ... Ppl would go mad insane and crazy if Microsoft Update would go down for even a second. [00:16] no [00:16] mad_max02, 20-40k :( [00:16] hi, my computer is gay, k thanks [00:16] so anyone familiar with autofs? [00:16] are you sure you are launching the FF2 version? [00:16] jrabbit: bad burn? [00:16] jrabbit: the live CD's don't work? [00:16] Not sure [00:16] maco, i try to make and it says that i do not know how to get past this [00:16] hi, big problem : I just uprgaded to hardy and my graphic card is not recognised anymore (an Intel 945). What can I do ? [00:16] oddalot, rofl [00:16] Yes, ubuntuROX [00:16] Hi, I'm having some issues with "Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI". I tried using some guides for 7.10 that are supposed to work for 8.04, but it isn't found in iwconfig. [00:16] maco: I can't verify the disk. [00:16] what are some dreamweaver-esque programs out there? i need a full functioning website and i don't have the time to brush up on my HTML [00:16] System > admin > softy srces > select best [00:16] DBautell, ah its ok. I got time :D I wasnt gonna install it until tomorrow anyways :D [00:16] stupid monitor won't display right [00:16] hmm,, IM not sure then,, mine worked fine.. [00:16] oddalot: your computer fancies other computers of the same sex? [00:17] cygoku: Microsoft doesn't have everybody clamoring for upgrades to Vista. If they made something people wanted, maybe they would have a harder time keeping up with demand. :-) [00:17] When will the repos be back up grr [00:17] jrabbit: why not? [00:17] hi, big problem : I just uprgaded to hardy and my graphic card is not recognised anymore (an Intel 945). What can I do ? [00:17] oddalot that wouldnt do it for you? [00:17] Saladin, i had a weird issue like that the first time i tried to use the nightly exension. try restarting it, and make sure you select an extension, then right click and 'make compatible' [00:17] nah [00:17] maco: It causes errors on disk [00:17] cygoku: Besides, torrents are super super fast right now, and you can get all the packages via torrent. [00:17] You're all set, then, mad_max02 [00:17] spork969: Nvu Kompozer [00:17] hey.. anyone care to help with some nvidia problems on hardy? - ive installed driver and it worked just afterwards. Its not working after a reboot. [00:17] I'll reburn and verify [00:17] jrabbit: guess what that means? [00:17] Wish XP wasn't getting dropped in June. [00:17] i had to go back to default, it's this stupid old monitor [00:17] maco: ? [00:17] could always try what I did, with the manual install as root [00:17] Oh I can get packaged trough torrent ? [00:17] i'm having trouble since Hardy clean upgrade. Everything is extremely laggy and even mouse movement stutters and the startup time is unbelievably slow. Is there a command to fix that? [00:17] Link ? [00:17] damn wlan issues i have enough for today [00:17] good night :) [00:17] jrabbit: if it cant verify because of errors, that confirms that its a bad burn [00:17] Dason: Why? Now you have a reason to go to ubuntu exclusively [00:17] It mounts fine in OSX [00:17] thepriratebay.org [00:17] Has anyone discovered if RTL8185 wlan chipset works in 8.04? please? [00:17] would anyone here be willing to help me (noob) fix grub for my new ubuntu install? [00:17] DBautell, yeah. I thought of upgrading my gutsy but I'll go with clean install. I wanna resize / partition to 50gb. I made a mistake and made it 100gb first place :D [00:17] anyone here running a crt? [00:17] Saladin, um, i thought you were trying to enable FF2 extensions for FF3? [00:18] Same here, dason. XP is a good OS despite what all the haters say ;) [00:18] cygoku, this is typical stuff (look at any other app that has massive demand on very particular days, (which means I'm not talking about automatically downloaded windows updates, which are throttled precisely to avoid those problems :p)) [00:18] cygoku: Read the topic. Download the torrent for the Alternate CD. [00:18] jrabbit: doesnt mean the data's not corrupt [00:18] iguess [00:18] redstelwerk: http://pastebin.ca/996448 [00:18] When will the repos be back up? [00:18] Quick question, is there a reason why a network upgrade is preferred to using the alternate disk? [00:18] thanks Killeroid! [00:18] linkmaster03: when people stop killing them [00:18] If I had hardy beta, do the regular updates just make it into the final version? or do I have to dist-upgrade? [00:18] OMFG this is a mad house [00:18] nibsa1242b: It's not really. [00:18] Wheeler: See? [00:18] I don't think it's that the repos are down moreso than that people are rampaging them [00:18] sean_: youre done [00:18] No, tanath, I reverted back to FF2 [00:18] sean_: yeah, just regular daily updates [00:18] linkmaster03, probably in a day or 2 when things settle down [00:18] linkmaster03: Probably in a few days. In the meanwhile, I suggest downloading via BitTorrent. There are thousands of seeds, it's super fast! [00:18] cygoku why do you need to download it? if you were running RC and its updated, all you have to do is update your grub. [00:18] nibsa1242b, network will update all the packages you have (aka, won't break things that depend on older versions) [00:19] maco, Flannel: Thanks. I wished it'd be more exciting but that works. :-) [00:19] linkmaster03: just use some mirror repos [00:19] Anyone interested in helping me set up grub? [00:19] UNIX [00:19] sean yea I know. I'll eventually be with UBUNTU fully because Linux is what IT companies want to see expertise in [00:19] Ryan, i'm just trying to get some synaptic packages =S [00:19] mad_max02, you might split that one down the middle, and have two distros installed... Sort of what I'm doing, so I can try different things out [00:19] But, now I have done that, because of no extensions working, all of them fail on FF2 now as well. I used apt-get to install 2. [00:19] really? linux is hot right now eh? [00:19] no waii man [00:19] Ian1, it should take care of itself.. [00:19] cwillu: ok, so if I have lots of extra packages installed I should wait until the repos are back up and then upgrade? [00:19] !offtopic [00:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:19] linkmaster03: Yup, it'll be awhile until the repos aren't super-swamped. [00:19] Ian1: whats the prob [00:19] did you restart the pc Saladin ? [00:19] DBautell, I'm ok with ubuntu. I just need hdd space. I got over 2TB and its never enough. [00:19] nibsa1242b, probably your best bet, yes [00:19] jesus :( [00:19] I've been running Ubuntu exclusively for ~6 months today. :-) [00:19] hello i was using the beta version of hardy the last bit of upgrades to LTS came through and now i don't have nor can i enable the restricted nvidia drivers [00:19] ubuntuROX: heck yeah! [00:20] :D [00:20] nibsa1242b, go to System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from other... > Select best server [00:20] linkmaster03: You shouldn't rely on public repos if you need 100% uptime - you should set up your own mirror at some point. [00:20] hi [00:20] way to go sean [00:20] hey.. anyone care to help with some nvidia problems on hardy? - ive installed driver and it worked just afterwards. Its not working after a reboot. [00:20] ubuntuROX: best-paying sysadmin jobs are *always* for *nix and never for window [00:20] maco, whats the difference between nvu and kompozer? [00:20] After the upgrade, or after installing FF2? Upgrade = yes. FF2 = no, ubuntuROX [00:20] Does anyone know why clipboard charing from windows to ubuntu does not work properly? [00:20] tanath: I've done that quite a few times, it gets stuck somewhere around 175/187 [00:20] how do i upgrade ubuntu from terminal? [00:20] can someone tell me how to add a context menu (right-click menu) option in Nautilus so I can "open as root" or "run as root" ? [00:20] spork969: one's the first word of the name and the other's the second? [00:20] has anyone tried Ubuntu Studio? is it any good yet? [00:20] it might be worth a try, mine just worked [00:20] linkmaster03: Technically the servers aren't down right now - it's just that they're serving tens of thousands of requests. [00:20] Donno its huuuuge dashua`_ [00:20] ** Dason [00:20] ok [00:20] And I have been using Ubuntu for six months as well [00:20] maco, looks to me theyre two programs [00:21] gnuskoo1: Well I tried (and failed I suppose) to add an XP line to my list file for grub, and when I tried to boot to it, XP's loader seems to have supplanted grub so now it just goes to that failed boot when i start my computer [00:21] hey anyone, I need a very stable java jre and anycase i installed sun-java6 and I need the firefox plugin [00:21] Saladin, nightly tester tools alters the extensions compatibility. ff2 thinks they don't work anymore. you'll prolly have to reinstall them if you want to go back.. [00:21] I have been using it for almost a year now [00:21] spork969: its called Nvu Kompozer [00:21] Does anyone know why clipboard charing from windows to ubuntu does not work properly? [00:21] The servers are undergoing the equivelant of DDoS attack- except it's ALL legitimate traffic. :) [00:21] Saladin, you shouldn't lose settings though\ [00:21] MachinTrucChose: install the nautilus-gksu package [00:21] maco, k [00:21] MachinTrucChose: google nautilus scripts [00:21] nibsa1242b, weird. WFM [00:21] i know how to reinstall grub in the terminal, but i'm not sure how to tell which drive to install it to [00:21] thanks flan [00:21] ahh,, see theres your problem [00:21] Question: How do i upgrade ubuntu from the terminal? [00:21] sp219-away, please give it more than 30 seconds between repeats [00:21] Although... It only took me three days to know I wasn't going back to Windows [00:21] spork969: kompozer is the latest release of nvu [00:21] apt-get upgrade (sud) [00:21] nibsa1242b, you tried letting it go for a few mins? === LjL-Temp changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) is out, download torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent (or http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ for AMD64 and the Alternate CD, ask in #kubuntu for Kubuntu) - USE LOCAL MIRRORS in "Software Sources" if APT doesn't work or is very slow [00:21] sudo apt-get upgrade [00:21] at least I bet its your problem,, uninstall that nightly tools extention [00:21] Eduardo, I don't suggest doing it today. [00:21] Hi guys, I have a problem with my xserver, or with the "unbreakable" xserver, I think, can someone help me? [00:22] tanath, however... Nightly isn't showing up on the extensions list. [00:22] eduardo: The servers are totally swamped. [00:22] maco, gotcha [00:22] RyanPrior: why is that? [00:22] !ask | ubutom [00:22] ubutom: 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. :-) [00:22] I thought the repos would be mirrored or something. [00:22] RyanPrior: ohhh [00:22] go to FF3 it should be there [00:22] eduardo: /me points at calendar [00:22] tanath: it just worked... doesn't seem to be a good server though... yeah earlier I let it go for about 10min the window just went blank [00:22] Saladin, huh... well i've never downgraded like that, so... [00:22] cygoku: The repos are mirrored, all over the world. They are all swamped. [00:22] then un-install it [00:22] Has anyone discovered if RTL8185 wlan chipset works in 8.04? please? [00:22] wow [00:22] System > Admin > Softy Sources choose best [00:22] i only have swap / and /home partitions. what other possible partitions might i want and what might their sizes be ? [00:22] cygoku: they are. there are hundreds of mirrors. theyre pretty much all swamped. [00:22] nibsa1242b, hrm, i guess they're getting hammered worse than i thought [00:22] eduardo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades has instructions [00:22] I just tried Hardy Heron Installation LiveCD feature, my network is not working. I don't see my module. Should I hope for better after installation or this aspect won't change? [00:22] That's crazy you know. [00:23] alienbrain: wired or wireless? [00:23] ibleed: a partition for / is handy [00:23] maco, wireless [00:23] I had compiz working fine in beta, but now I upgraded and whenever I go to "normal" or "extra" I lose all window decorations. Any ideas? [00:23] alienbrain: do you have any wired connection available? [00:23] cygoku: Millions of Ubuntu users try to upgrade all at once; thus, we have craziness aplenty. :-) [00:23] maco, ipw3945 module [00:23] alienbrain: if it doesn't work on the live CD, then it doesn't work in the installation. out of the box, that is - it's entirely possible that you *can* get it to work! [00:23] maco, yep sure [00:23] ere4si, yes i have swap, /, and /home. i'm wondering what others are useful [00:23] alienbrain: it will probably won't work [00:23] " millions " ???? [00:23] alienbrain, what chipset? [00:23] Now to get copywritten DVD's to work right..... [00:23] Well, maco, everytime I start up ubuntu now it doesnt work, the xserver simply doesnt come up. i tried dpgk-reconfigure, I erased and replaced the xorg.conf, but no joy... [00:23] Ertyle, I see, it was working on Gutsy though, out of the box [00:23] alienbrain: oh you have a 3945? the module is now called iwl3945. it works great for me [00:23] first thing to do in every ubuntu install: disable the *!!@#$ motherboard beep [00:23] ibleed: that is all really - unless it is a server [00:23] ibleed: /var ~4GB (or less) good for log files... you don't want to have some faulty device fill up your log files and make your system unbootable... and /boot ~500MB (should hopefully be enough) [00:23] alienbrain: but that doesn't mean you can't make it work... [00:23] is it possible to update the beta to full? [00:24] cwillu, Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG [00:24] sean_, try running 'compiz --replace' from a terminal, and see the output [00:24] sandfisch: yes, just regular daily updates [00:24] Machin! Tell me now! I hate it! [00:24] cygoku: Yup, supposedly Ubuntu has about 10 million users, so if more than 10% try to upgrade, that's millions. [00:24] alienbrain: then file a bug [00:24] sandfisch: Just do regular updates and you're all set! [00:24] MachinTrucChose: I've found that an axe does that very well [00:24] tanath: I think I'll just wait a few days to upgrade... no rush [00:24] dason: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_disable_the_pc_speaker_(beep!) [00:24] Everything operation in hardy is laggy and slow, and the CPU fan keeps spinning. What do I type to fix this? [00:24] sean_, er, make that 'compiz --replace &' [00:24] nibsa1242b, what about /opt ? is that useful ? [00:24] alienbrain: you have a problem w/ 3945? It's been fixed... [00:24] sandfisch: just let it run its normal updates, and you'll have final [00:24] Well I am impressed. [00:24] My audio isn't working.. It was perfectly working about 5 minutes ago on gutsy. I have an Asus p5b motherboard. What can I do? [00:24] * x1250 wants #ubuntu+1 back [00:24] nibsa1242b, thought you said it just worked? [00:24] x1250, I understand, but I'm trying to assess how much time I need to spend after upgrading :) [00:24] RyanPrior: you only hit multiple millions when 20% try to upgrade [00:24] atm i can only access the root repair console [00:24] nibsa1242b, meh [00:25] alienbrain: did it work on gutsy? [00:25] how can i install XMMS in HARDY? thx [00:25] maco, as if 50% of the installed base isn't trying to upgrade though :p [00:25] maco: I call 1.1 more than one million, thus millions. One and one tenth millions. [00:25] crimsun: ping [00:25] every attempt to start gdm fails, failsafe graphics seems to be broken [00:25] cwillu: yeah... [00:25] tanath: I think I need to re-enable nvidia drivers, does that make sense? [00:25] Mimi, in Gutsy, I would see that ipw3945 module is automatically loaded. Now in Hardy, I don't see it. Even when I try to modprobe. It's not there === Mike is now known as Mike_T [00:25] ibleed: I don't know, never needed an /opt before but I'm just running it on a few computers for personal use [00:25] Danson ?? [00:25] even ,75 is a multiple [00:25] so, what should I do? Does someone have an idea? [00:25] alienbrain: its not called that [00:25] sean_, ah. in that case displayconfig-gtk may help [00:25] which version of ubuntu would i want to install on an iMac with duocore processor? [00:25] alienbrain: its called iwl3945 [00:25] I mean Dason ?? [00:25] alienbrain: theres a new driver [00:25] maco, aha, let me check please [00:25] sean_: You need to reinstall the nvidia drivers every time you upgrade your kernel. Which a distribution upgrade does. Granted, it might be automatic normally, but apparently not now.. [00:25] Hi, I can't use livCD of ubuntu 8.04 [00:25] how can i enable UNIVERSE and MULTIVERSE in HARDY? [00:25] alienbrain: check restricted drivers manager to see if you have to enable it in there [00:25] Now, when I click on the launcher for FF3, it is FF2 that pops up. I am totally confused. [00:26] and the md5sum is correct [00:26] alienbrain: you can always uninstall kernel metapackages (linux-image, linux-image-generic, linux-headers-generic, etc) and use them in hardy [00:26] alienbrain: (sorry if you've already said that, but I just joined the channel) .. and this is the realease, not the release candidate or beta? I have the same card as yours, and I installed hardy from livecd.. wireless worked there, and after install it worked too :/ sorry not sure how to help, thought it was fixed for all of us [00:26] phiqtion, System > Admin > Software Sources [00:26] Baughn: Jest because it's newly released? [00:26] is archive.ubuntu.com down? [00:26] yeknom_traf: Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" is the hot item now. It's available via BitTorrent, but today is release day so non-BitTorrent servers are very slow and swamped. [00:26] Joelito: do a cd check and be more specific, please [00:26] Hi, important advisor, I'm an idiot who tries too hard. If I upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04: How long will it take me to do that (do I have to download a full 700MB?), is there any chance of it bjorking my system? and can I do it at any time or only today before there's newer nightly builds? [00:26] where is cgi-bin located in ubuntu? [00:26] /me asks : is it possible to increase the DPI on gnome? ... I have 1200x800 but it seems like a simple window takes most of the screen :P [00:26] maco, I can see the driver is there [00:26] nv [00:26] fdsjkalf: its a release day. how could it possibly stay up? [00:26] alienbrain: I meant: uninstall kernel metapackages, and upgrade to hardy. Then, as metapackages are not installed, then your kernel version will be preserved. [00:27] sean_: Baughn I think sometimes the necessary drivers take a few days after the dist upgrade to become available for the kernel version [00:27] sean_: I don't actually know if it normally does, but if it does, then the reason it doesn't /now/ would be because it's a separate upgrade system that doesn't know about that detail [00:27] Mimi, sure, that gives me higher hopes! :) [00:27] tanath: they are selected already but i can't find XMMS in the sources? [00:27] tanath, oh, nevermind. I forgot that was on my laptop! It uses intel drivers which is correct. Do I need to install xgl? [00:27] maco: is cgi-bin located in var/www? [00:27] xserver dead, failsafe doesnt work, dpkg-reconfigure no joy, erasing xor.conf and replacing with old version no joy, any ideas? [00:27] Mimi, prefrerences | appearance| fonts [00:27] Mimi: System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution [00:27] how do I start the graphic card config wizard ? [00:27] nibsa1242b: That's why there's a compile-from-source option [00:27] jjt001: *shrug* i never figured out how to make apache go on my laptop [00:27] Baughn: mmm fun === LjL-Temp changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) is out, torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent (or http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ for AMD64 and Alternate CD, ask in #kubuntu for Kubuntu) - USE LOCAL MIRRORS in "Software Sources" if APT doesn't work / is very slow | If you were using the beta or RC, the update manager will give you final automatically | #ubuntu-release-party or #ubuntu-offtopic for anything other than support [00:27] maco: Hi, When I put the CD in the cd-rom, the cd-rom stops reading during the ubuntu banner with progressbar, but only the cd-rom light keeps on. [00:27] maco, you assume i know its release day. anywho, cool. new releases are great [00:27] x1250, I see, but I can only install from the CD at the moment, not very good bandwidth :) [00:27] nibsa1242b: "Trivial", you mean. Normally it takes no effort at all. [00:27] is it possible to update the beta to full? [00:27] Joelito: does it get to the menu part? [00:27] phiqtion, odd. they're in mine. you might try xmms2 though. [00:27] So guys, thank you a lot. I will give it a chance! :) [00:27] alienbrain, then wait for a day or two :p [00:27] sandfisch: Just do regular updates and you're all set! [00:28] maco: i'm trying to install dansguardian, and i need the cgi-bin directory? [00:28] sean_, no, shouldn't need xgl. i don't anyway [00:28] maco: yes [00:28] sandfisch: It is certainly possible. Regular updates will do the trick 100%. [00:28] maco: I choose language and keyboard language [00:28] cwillu, nah, I will just go ahead now, can't wait :D [00:28] sandfisch: in the past the beta/ RCs updated automatically with the regular updates [00:28] fdsjkalf: see the topic? and the front page of ubuntu.com (if it's up?)? and the announcement on the forum? and the mailing lists? and every ubuntu blog on the planet? [00:28] joelito i had that same problem [00:28] nous, 'gksu displayconfig-gtk' [00:28] can anyone can help me installing ubuntu with a sata disc_ [00:28] alienbrain: I think you can upgrade using just the cd... do you have gutsy installed? [00:28] burn another disk at a slower speed [00:28] thanks all [00:28] x1250, yep [00:28] Dason: How do you fixed it? [00:28] cwillu: Oh, I missed the "Details" button, thanks! ... Mmm.. it shows me changes on demand... yay! [00:28] bingofuel: what is your problem? [00:28] tanath: servers are being hammered right? [00:28] maco, any idea how can I precisely tell what the problem is coming from? [00:28] jjt001: oh. i dont know. itd involve apache webserver...id say ask the ubuntu christian edition people. they install it by default [00:28] tanath: I have a thinkpad T61 with integrated graphics. the i810 driver wasn't any better [00:29] hi, can anyone see me talking? [00:29] joelito -burn another disk at slower speed [00:29] hello [00:29] Joelito: do a cd test [00:29] x1250, alienbrain, you can update from cd, but any packages that are missing won't be updated, and may break in spectacular explosions with shock wave effect [00:29] IntangibleLiquid: possibly [00:29] IntangibleLiquid: yes [00:29] maco, whether or not your assumption seems reasonable, it wasnt accurate [00:29] IntangibleLiquid: no ;) [00:29] alienbrain: sudo iwlist scan [00:29] which is the default Them in Ubuntu 8.04??? [00:29] alienbrain: anything listed? [00:29] i just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 on my i386 desktop, and now when i try to move a window by alt+drag, ubuntu thinks i want to resize the window. any ideas whats causing this? [00:29] which is the default Theme in Ubuntu 8.04??? [00:29] phiqtion, yes... [00:29] has anyone gotten the 3d drivers to work for the ati hd 2600 for ubuntu? [00:29] phiqtion, but you can use a mirror [00:29] cwillu: hah, it might, but not the base system [00:29] maco: ok [00:29] tanath: which one [00:29] Dason Slower speed? [00:29] jforman: check keybindings in compiz? [00:29] ewww ati Nvidia works better but I bet someone has [00:29] okay i tried upgrading to 8.04 and then it told me i iddnt have enough space, now i do but i cant seem to get the upgrade to appear again [00:29] nibsa124b. i-ve installed ubuntu but when start to boot grub tell me the 21 error :S [00:29] Has anyone tested or tried the RTL8185 wlan chipset to work in 8.04? [00:29] is there a command i can enter? [00:30] jforman: resize might be mapped to alt [00:30] cwillu, lol [00:30] how can I loop my terminal to constantly output iwconfig ? [00:30] phiqtion, , go to System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from other... > Select best server [00:30] metanil: human-clearlooks, i think. i prefer human-murrine [00:30] thanks god! Partition editor says my harddisk space is unallocated :( What am I supposed to do? I'm doing booting XP and PCLinuxOS and want to swicth to Ubuntu :( [00:30] joelito: when you burn the disk, pick instead of maximum, 18.2 or something for write speed [00:30] maco: happen to know which setting thats under? i definitely remember not having this key combo set in 7.10 [00:30] tanath: thank you [00:30] how to install 8.04 from darddisk? [00:30] np [00:30] maco, I got: wlan0: Failed to read scand data : Resource temporarily unavailable. [00:30] i tried upgrading to 8.04 and then it told me i iddnt have enough space, now i do but i cant seem to get the upgrade to appear again [00:30] (18.2x) [00:30] ati HD 2600 + ubuntu? [00:30] !install > panda314 [00:30] My Update Manager stops responding when I attempt to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, any idea what I could do? [00:30] !ati [00:30] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:30] ? [00:30] alienbrain: oh. well um thatd be the problem. O_O [00:31] Solved my problem in about 5 minutes [00:31] Dason: Ok, lucky I have a few cd-r to spare :p [00:31] nibsa1242b i-ve installed ubuntu but when start to boot. grub tell me the 21 error :S [00:31] bingofuel: fresh install? upgrade? is it on its own HD/ sharing the HD with another operating syste,? [00:31] Are the repositories bogged down or something? It takes like 3 minutes wait before I connect when applying changes in synaptic [00:31] Good [00:31] fyreofchaos13, servers are overwhelmed.. try again later [00:31] ZarathustraDK: yes [00:31] ZarathustraDK: yes [00:31] ZarathustraDK: release day. yes. very very nearly dead [00:31] does anyone know how to make screen behave more like xterm, with regards to termcap/terminfo stuff? when i use vim inside of screen, i occasionally get some weird behaviour [00:31] fyreofchaos13, at what point? [00:31] ZarathustraDK, please see the channel topic [00:31] ZarathustraDK: Mm. Yes. There are about a million people trying the same. [00:31] eternalis1: tried: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade ? [00:31] ZarathustraDK: Literally, so.. [00:31] how can I loop my terminal to constantly output iwconfig ? [00:31] maco, literally? so maybe I could try to restart? [00:31] nibsa1242b fresh install, and it-s windows over sda1, the first partition [00:31] haha, and here I thought it was hardy's fault :) [00:31] JPSmon: how often do you want it to repeat? [00:31] Zara - System - Admin - Software sources > select best server [00:31] Hrm, alright, Jack. [00:31] alienbrain: thats a freaky error. google it? [00:31] fyreofchaos13, the servers are being hammered. you might try a mirror... [00:31] plik: didnt work [00:31] ZarathustraDK, well, it is, in a sense [00:32] maco, sudo lshw is taking forever to come up with anything. [00:32] maco, ah, good idea :P [00:32] if I update to 8.04 using the alternate cd, and my system can't access the servers because they are overloaded, does that mean that all my packages that were in universe or multiverse will stop working until the server becomes available again? [00:32] * plik shrugs [00:32] brb, going to work with it [00:32] fyreofchaos13, go to System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from other... > Select best server [00:32] thanks [00:32] Starnestommy: as often as possible without bogging my system up [00:32] anonusr, they won't update, so they may or may not work [00:32] When I open xsane, this comes up, and the program immedietly exits: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [00:32] anonusr: ones that dont need to update will be fine...others will probably still work and lack new features [00:32] Ubuntu should work on automatic update file sharing or something. Like automatic torrents or something [00:32] Starnestommy: say 10 times a second [00:32] How can I delete saved passwords that keyring saves? [00:32] I know that it is a really newb question, but where is the equivilant of program files on ubuntu? [00:32] sean_: thatd be nice [00:32] i tried upgrading to 8.04 and then it told me i didn't have enough space, now i do but i cant seem to get the upgrade to appear again [00:32] JPSmon: while true; do iwconfig; done [00:32] sean_: No real need, for something that happens twice a year [00:33] anyone helps me with partitioning? [00:33] sean_, apt-torrent is in the universe, I think they're working on integrating it [00:33] sean_, security is an issue though [00:33] simonft2: nope. [00:33] * hmuller thanks the nameless linux-image dev that included the full suite of busybox tools in the initramfs [00:33] ?? [00:33] hmm, I wonder why the hardy update manager will not check the CD before requesting files from the repos... I have the CD option set in the software sources, and inserted... anyone know if this is a known issue? [00:33] thanks cwillu, maco [00:33] simonft2: /usr [00:33] simonft2: what are you trying to do? [00:33] nomopofomo: apps -> accs -> pass and encrypt keys [00:33] simonft2: lib [00:33] simonft2: Preferences > Main Menu then add Control Panel and use that [00:33] lol [00:33] tanath: Why? They're hashed, and presumably the actual torrents would be stored centrally [00:33] 3 different answers [00:33] goat|work: disable the internet repos [00:33] im tring to make a program come up on start up [00:33] tanath, security, not so much, more that bit-torrent doesn't have a good way to update parts of torrents [00:33] maco, in gutsy's software sources? [00:33] i have to say i freaking love Ubuntu, im totaly new to ubuntu. Tho i have used gentoo for 8 years [00:33] True on all accounts. It'd be a great feature if they figured out how to do it securely. [00:34] simonft2: Use the sessions, probably. [00:34] if i dl ubuntu 8.04 for my iMac with a duocore processor, should i click on the x86 architecture or the 64bit? [00:34] goat|work: yeah [00:34] When I open xsane, this comes up, and the program immedietly exits: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [00:34] I know [00:34] !startup > simplexio [00:34] bingofuel: can you get into windows at all or is your computer in a basically useless state?

[00:34] talntidwrk: type /topic [00:34] eternalis1: gksu "update-manager c" [00:34] tanath: Nah. There's just a queue. Of a hundred thousand computers. [00:34] lol [00:34] I just upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 using the Update Manager. Now all sounds are scratchy and distorted. Is it something to do with the new Pulse Audio? [00:34] ok [00:34] Where is the screens and gfx thing in Hardy ? [00:34] eternalis1: still cant type [00:34] !motd [00:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about motd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:34] Roxer: There are a few ex-gentoo users about [00:34] Someone needs to put that all repositores are slow [00:34] talntidwrk: Today is release day, so the servers and mirrors are super swamped.

[00:35] cwillu, yeah, that too. would need a modification of BT [00:35] When I open xsane, this comes up, and the program immedietly exits: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [00:35] maco, I'm getting other freaky stuff in dmesg :). iwl3945: Microcode SW error detected. Resarting 0x82000008. And Another line. [00:35] I knew today was release day, didn't know it was hosted on archive.* [00:35] Sivik: It's in the channel topic! [00:35] Googling :) [00:35] Cpudan80: hiding [00:35] Sivik: it's in the topic [00:35] simonft2 you can actually realize autostart programs on linux, but thats not as easy as in windows.. you have to scriüt [00:35] Cpudan80: and totally useless anyway [00:35] *script [00:35] oh, so people just do not read [00:35] Is there a way to upgrade 7.10 -> 8.04 using the CD? [00:35] Cpudan80: screen resolution is in preferences [00:35] maco, how would I change "allow always" to something else? [00:35] /topic [00:35] I didn't even realize it was release day [00:35] tanath, look at debtorrent [00:35] same old story [00:35] sarkie, To Upgrade from the CD/ISO, you'll need the alternate ISO or the DVD: run cdromupgrade from the root of the CD/ISO/DVD. To mount the ISO you can 'mount -o loop nameofiso /path/to/mount/' [00:35] Sivik: Of course not. That's why we're here. :-) [00:35] hey guys, I installed nautilus-gksu but I still don't have the option to "open as " in the nautilus context menu [00:35] RyanPrior: do you know anything about the hd 2600 ati drives for ubuntu? [00:36] DBautell, Damn it, just downloaded the normal release!! :) meh [00:36] sarkie, only the alternate cd [00:36] Sivik: No clue. I use whatever drive the Driver Manager installs. :-) [00:36] sarkie :D [00:36] nibsa1242b no, i can-t use the PC, the menu of grub doesn-t appear [00:36] damn. i'm fraid to reboot now. [00:36] MachinTrucChose: try doing a ctrl-alt-backspace to re-load gnome and try again [00:36] Re: swamped servers; is there a way people can become a temporary mirrors to help out w/some of these high-traffic days? [00:36] Yay, the server worked. Thank you! :D [00:36] ah well, are the servers still overloaded? [00:36] nomopofomo: choose "allow once"? [00:36] eternal: I logged out then logged back on [00:36] cwillu, cool... [00:36] RyanPrior: its so much easier just to use nvidia because of their support [00:36] how would I make pidgin come up on startup? [00:36] Starnestommy: can I have it "press enter" a few time to get it to say in one spot? [00:36] sarkie: do bears shit in the forest? [00:36] sarkie: for me yes [00:36] sarkie: yes, its realese date [00:36] altj: Yup, BitTorrent!

[00:37] JPSmon: while read; do iwconfig; donw [00:37] bingofuel: ok, obviously something went wrong with the installer configuring grub... it happens and is highly annoying. I can help you get XP back to a bootable state, however, I'm not enough of a grub wizard to guide you how to fix the problem and allow you to boot into XP or Ubuntu. [00:37] altj: If Ubuntu switched to using Apt-Torrent by default I think things would be much better, but that's a different argument. :-) [00:37] *done [00:37] simonft2, Did you see the link ubotu provided about startup [00:37] my touchpad is not working properly ( it clicks even if i am just moving around cursor) ... ubuntu 8.04 laptop -> VAIO. [00:37] Indeed, I'll just download the alternate CD and do it tomorrow off line ! ah well [00:37] yes [00:37] joh6nn: that does the same thing [00:37] eternal_p, jeeze, is no one careful with that? better to suggest a logout. if you do that with unsaved work, it's just gone :-/ [00:37] oh [00:37] nomopofomo: theres a keyring preferences thing in sys->pref too [00:37] linkmaster03: k, hold on [00:37] lol did't read far enough [00:37] sorry [00:37] metam give them a week for the IRC to calm down a little (if at all) [00:37] np [00:37] tanath: true :) [00:38] tanath: i just installed XMMS2 on hardy but it doesn't show up in the MENU. [00:38] my tomboy notes wont open. i did a find / -iname tomboy and searched through the folders for any files that looked like they could be the ones i need but i couldnt find them [00:38] maco, Most probably: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461924 [00:38] phiqtion, well, alt+f2 & run it [00:38] nibsa1242b i was thinking if i can-t install correctly grub, i going to reinstall windows xp, to recover one OS at lesat [00:38] biabia: they shouldbe in .tomboy [00:38] pulse audio sucks.. even rhythmbox doesn't work . anyone who fixed the problem? [00:38] Quick question, do we need to reinstall WINE when we reboot? [00:38] phiqtion, is xmm2 from our repos? [00:38] omg is it just me or is archive.ubuntu.com completely hamered? [00:38] phiqtion, menu editor should see it, and let you put it there [00:38] does anyone know where I can find download statistics? [00:38] linkmaster03: try "mv ~/.sane ~/.sane-old", and then running xsane ? [00:38] bingofuel: I can attempt to play grub wizard if you'd like... I just can't guarantee I can fix it. [00:38] Jack_Sparrow: yeap [00:38] jords: go to System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from other... > Select best server [00:38] like how many people downloaded ubuntu 7.10, 6.10, etc. [00:39] jords: yes [00:39] jords: everythings hammered [00:39] jords: its tanked [00:39] maco thanks I'll look there. that one didnt come up in my search [00:39] jords, go to System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from other... > Select best server [00:39] Dason: How do you do that on ubuntu server? [00:39] how do I change the pagesize to use larger than 4k block sizes in XFS? [00:39] phiqtion, cool, I didnt know it was there.. try running from cli and make sure it comes up [00:39] heh [00:39] My desktops been on 8.04 for ages [00:39] joh6nn: same thing [00:39] Oooh I only know Desktop [00:39] bingofuel: you don't have to reinstall XP; all you need is a win XP install disk, from the recovery console you can fix the MBR and you'll be ok [00:39] tanath, can you tell me how to do that from command line? [00:39] nibsa1242b what is grub wizard_ [00:39] jords, it's in synaptic [00:39] "Fecthing file 1 of 1292" :D [00:39] Jack_Sparrow: how do i run CLI [00:39] alienbrain: i give up. my laptop is magic. [00:39] bingofuel: someone who knows lots about grub [00:39] phiqtion, cli means a terminal [00:39] I kinda killed my window manager and uninstalled it, thinking i could get another one from apt... :P [00:40] <|stefan|> just upgraded to hardy. and all of a sudden when i log in with ssh i get posix instead of utf-8 [00:40] Nice [00:40] talntidwrk, uh, there's an apt command for it, but i forget what it is... hold on [00:40] maco, thanks for the heads up :) [00:40] <|stefan|> anyone can explain this ? [00:40] xfce is my favorite window manager [00:40] Jack_Sparrow: i typed xmms2 and just some commands popped up [00:40] Will the new hardy install let me resize my fedora partition for dual boot? [00:40] Is a reinstallation of WINE required after upgrade? [00:40] Dason, not if you don't want to run Windows apps ;) [00:40] Lol [00:40] "About 22 hours 33 minutes remaining" awesome [00:41] but, i don't know ;) [00:41] It's more for the unpacking of them [00:41] Dason: it shouldn't be necessary [00:41] joh6nn: same thing [00:41] I'm having trouble installing Heron - had the same problem with the betas: it complains that every file does not match the one on the disk. My cd burner works fine with everything else, so do my hard drives. Anybody seen this? [00:41] For use in Windows [00:41] OzFalcon: i assume it depends on the fedora partition type [00:41] doesn't work for you Dason? [00:41] lol Well you knoe most things that are made are for Windows and well i like my Photoshop :P [00:41] Hi. I just tried to do a fresh install of Hardy on my computer. I have two drives and two optical drives on my motherboards IDE controller, and three more hard drives on my Silicon Image-based PCI-IDE card. It is detecting the Sil-card's drive first(hda, hdb, and hdc). After the install, all I get is a screen full of "GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB ..." What can I do to fix this? [00:41] Crystal xp [00:41] je i was playing like a grub wizard but my magic is bad :p, [00:41] tell me your idea...if doesn-t work no problem [00:41] burner, ext3 [00:41] killled my dlls and I lost mah windows Cd [00:41] linkmaster03: yep, looking to see what else i can turn up [00:41] joh6nn: cool thanks [00:42] damn, I've been seeding kubuntu images all day and just started seeding ubuntu images. There's a bit of a difference in demand :-) [00:42] Can hardy resize ext3 partitions? [00:42] Datalanche: did the install complete? [00:42] SOOOOO... I can't install anything without opening in WINE and moving to Windows [00:42] lol altj [00:42] maco: Yes, finished fine and I clicked restart. [00:42] Course we all know regular Ubuntu=Pwnage given by the Linux Gods [00:42] o.. i got your notes here.. .sorry. [00:42] What exactly is the difference between 64 bits ubuntu and 32 (ignoring the obvious)? is 64 bits faster? could it cause problems with compatibility? will all (32 bits) programs work without problem on 64 bits? [00:42] tanath: I have integrated intel graphics and compiz isn't working. I'm using the "intel" driver. Any ideas? [00:42] maco: In Gutsy, my onboard IDE drives were hda and hdb. Now they are all sdX [00:42] I have downloaded the hardy CD for safe keeping in case of new installations, but I want to merge the packages on it with our local apt-cache, so local machines can all upgrade without all downloading 9 hours worth of packages each. Where can I find docs on how to do that? [00:42] hi. what is the new package name for vim-full? [00:42] yay! Hardy Heron! Boo! my canon camera still doesn't automount - anyone have tips on getting this feature back? It was in the early betas... [00:43] installed Hardy Server on a box I put together and I am totally lost [00:43] linkmaster03: you on gutsy or hardy? [00:43] whereas before just the ones on the sil card were sdX [00:43] Datalanche: thats normal.thats a libata change [00:43] (shell32 was moved with some UI in Windows modifications) [00:43] ubuntu 8.04 comes w/ a browser in beta?!!? what's the deal??? [00:43] joh6nn: gutsy [00:43] sean_, did you use displayconfig-gtk to try different drivers? [00:43] Datalanche: are any of the drives reporting themselves wrong to the bios? [00:43] !aptoncd > dmg46664 [00:43] maco yay ! the notes are there. thanks [00:43] Datalanche: i know there are issues with sata drives that tell the bios to pretende they're IDE [00:43] bingofuel: I tink I might have something for you to help... hold on a min [00:43] erat123: firefox3 should be there [00:43] tanath, unfortunately. :-\ I also checked my graphics card and it says intel should be the one [00:43] HowTO : Get better than 800x600 in vn 5700 using live cd - no xorg options on boot? [00:43] sean_, test different drivers and after each working one, run 'glxinfo | grep -i direct' to see if direct rendering is enabled [00:43] maco: Nope, I watched them all pop up, they seem to be going in just fine. Oh, and also, they are IDE drives, not SATA [00:43] nibsa1242b ok [00:43] maco, I am running on sata pretending to be ide here [00:44] sean_, i dunno. might try google & ubuntu forums [00:44] firefox 3 beta 5 is good enough for release [00:44] is the new Ver out. I got Gusty [00:44] Yes it is [00:44] Datalanche: theyre *all* IDE? all more than 5? [00:44] Mike T restricted drivers in System > admin [00:44] tanath: is there any way to add displayconfig-gtk to my main menu? It used to be in admin [00:44] x1250: god i hope i didnt get the wrong version... [00:44] maco i got some error [00:44] is it true that ff3 uses an ugly bold font for the URL [00:44] hmmm. ok. [00:44] maco: Yes, I have five IDE hard drives. [00:44] maco: it says i have to check my internet connection, but im connected so wtf? [00:44] Hello. Anyone point me to anything for power management? 8.04.. trying to throttle my processor in my laptop. [00:44] ng0n yes hardy is out [00:44] wow, there's the background update! [00:44] thats reason enough to not use it [00:44] Greetings Scunizi [00:44] so, does firefox beta come w/ hardy or the finished release? [00:44] Jack_Sparrow: the problem is when you have lots of IDE and it gets confusing when the OS sees lots of IDE due to that bios setting [00:44] sean_, menu editor? [00:44] sven_oostenbrink: I highly recommend 32 bit. Not everything works out of the box with 64 bit that does with 32 bit. And there should be 5% or less performance difference between the two unless you are running a machine with >4GB of RAM. [00:44] Hardy. I like the sound of that. [00:44] Datalanche: you cant do that [00:44] eternalis1, Please do not use that shorthand.. === tom_ is now known as fluidd [00:44] firefox beta 5 [00:44] erat, the finish for F3 isn't out yet [00:45] Jack_Sparrow: do you have a solution, or are you going to sass me? [00:45] Datalanche: i dont know how else to explain it but...5 IDEs just cant go [00:45] tanath: nevermind. I'm blind. :) [00:45] XD [00:45] Datalanche: its a bug [00:45] maco: Uh, yeah I can. I have two connect on the motherboard's IDE controller, and three on a PCI expansion card. [00:45] erat123, Beta5, But you can download prev stable release if you want. [00:45] oh, really [00:45] flash, sass and white trash : welcome to #ubuntu ! [00:45] ff3 is ok, but it doesn't use pulseaudio. That feature was pushed to ibex, instead. [00:45] anybody seen persistent CRC errors on hardy install from cd? [00:45] Jack_Sparrow: was banned? [00:45] nibsa1242b you-re saying that i have to install the 32 bits version_ [00:45] that's too bad. when i go to ubuntuguides.org, my X session logs off under firefox beta5.... i might have to downgrade firefox [00:45] Datalanche: on ubuntu, 5 IDEs just cant go [00:45] Dason: None listed...:-( [00:45] sorry, nvm [00:45] maco: It was working just fine in Gutsy [00:45] i sent in a bug report, but didnt hear back [00:45] hmm... [00:45] linkmaster03: check and see if there's an update available for libgtk2; a couple of people reported that as fixing the problem for them [00:46] does anyone know how to make screen behave more like xterm, with regards to termcap/terminfo stuff? when i use vim inside of screen, i occasionally get some weird behaviour [00:46] fdsik -l /dev/sda says cannott open /dev/sda: what should I do? [00:46] Datalanche: regression....its a known bug on hardy though [00:46] talntidwrk, found it: netselect-apt [00:46] bingofuel: that was for someone else... there is nothing wrong with 64 bit version, however, most people I know and myself prefer the 32 bit version for ease of use [00:46] intang - Are you using Sudo? [00:46] joh6nn: libgtk2 is the name on repos? [00:46] Too much noise.... [00:46] 64 bit. drivers ? [00:46] I don't understand. [00:46] it was never a problem before [00:46] no straight upgrade from dapper to hardy in 09'? [00:47] bingofuel: anyhow... http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ should help you boot [00:47] * DBautell has no problem with 64 [00:47] linkmaster03: not sure, the posts don't say for sure [00:47] jvai_: you should be able to go from Dapper to Hardy [00:47] IntangibleLiquid are you using sudo fdisk ? [00:47] i'm too nube to 64 [00:47] so the repo's are all still down? [00:47] gah, aptitude wants to autoremove all my xmm2 plugins. why?! [00:47] joh6nn: thanks i found it, installing now [00:47] Dason: no, but thanks, it shows the partitions [00:47] aaw "CLAPPIN"... ty IndyGunFreak [00:47] IndyGunFreak: Would you just follow the same procedure then? (update-manager -d) [00:47] XMMS2 has no GUI? is there a starter guide for HARDY? [00:47] has the downloading of the upgrade stopped for anyone else? is the server possibly down? [00:48] phiqtion, audacious is very similar to xmms [00:48] yeah i think the repo's are down [00:48] the only thing I remember having to fiddle with was getting the 32 bit firefox [00:48] jvai_: Jorophose i never done it, but i'm almost 100% certain, you can go from 1 LTS version, to another LTS version, w/o loading up the versions in between [00:48] bingofuel: you'll need to download the CDROM or USB version [00:48] i can't download any packages [00:48] ah wait here we go [00:48] Gman99999: just pick a mirror [00:48] Gman99999: the repos are choked [00:48] Dason: the sad thing is, Partition Editor says my current harddisk space is unallocated [00:48] for flash, etc [00:48] im back, I got the 8.04 iso CD download, but I dont see any cdromupgrade. is there somewhere I should look for that [00:48] capo, there's plenty of mirrors [00:48] my Vista found out i was doing Ubuntu and I swear, it has straighted up a little. is that possible ? [00:48] Gman999999 System - Admin Softy Sources - Alternative sources - scan for best [00:48] Datalanche: and in hardy it is a problem. things changed and it got broken. thats all there is to it [00:48] IndyGunFreak, it should hold reason from one LTS to another.. right? [00:48] mine is still puttin away.....of course it says I have about 48 days left [00:49] Jack Sparrow: Thanx for the link to aptoncd... however I think what I was looking for was apt-cache-import [00:49] Datalanche: hopefully itll be fixed by 8.04.1 in june, but maybe it wont [00:49] IndyGunFreak: What are the odds of it going bang in my face? [00:49] jvai_: one would think.. google it though, i'm almost 100% SURE OF IT. [00:49] joh6nn: they are the latest versions [00:49] 'k [00:49] IntangibleLiquid I suggest using an external disk drive editor then [00:49] ng0n: yeah, but if that's what it takes to make Vista behave, is it worth keeping around? [00:49] nibsa1242b> 64bits is slower? [00:49] linkmaster03: ; ( [00:49] Jorophose: don't really know, never done it.... try googling it... i install every 6mo [00:49] sven_oostenbrink: DBautell: yes, Firefox and extensions and Wine are the two main things that I find are easier to use in 32bit... one can always run the 32bit version on a 64 bit system but it takes time [00:49] Such as GParted [00:49] Jorophose, follow the guide in the topic and you should be good [00:50] sven_oostenbrink: I think 64bit is marginally faster... but it depends [00:50] linkmaster03: did this used to work and suddenly broke, or did it never work? [00:50] ng0n: yah it's a feature. If you install a linux kernel greater than 2.6.24, vista knows and it tweaks it's parameters (tm)] [00:50] ng0n: Yeah, I head there is a bit of code in Vista that detects if you are dool-booting Linux, and if so it runs better. I guess MS must have figured if your dual boot Linux, that Vista better shape up in case you might make the full switch. [00:50] hmmmm [00:50] joh6nn: it worked yesterday [00:50] hansin: lol [00:50] Hi! My sound isn't working.. I have an Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02), but alsa can't find any sound card. What can I do? [00:50] dmg46664, several options available [00:50] Well then, I dunno what to do if I can't use Hardy on my computer. [00:50] linkmaster03: so what'd you do to break it between now and then? : ) [00:50] t/hop [00:50] hansin: I knew it !@! [00:51] is wine even a viable method for installing popular windows aps I sure hear alot of people preaching how much better linux is than windows but Ive had so much trouble with simple hardware drivers that pissed me off alot, what makes linux so good? [00:51] hello all. this may sound like a noobish problem: my screen brightness options have disappeared [00:51] joh6nn, you might need 'altscreen on' [00:51] sh: Can't open /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade ... wtf [00:51] joh6nn: nothing xD [00:51] pifedo, hardy uses pulseaudio now... [00:51] Gman99999: go to www.winehq.com and look for the app in question [00:51] Gman, to be king, yes [00:51] tanath: So, What can I do? My sound isn't working any way... [00:51] ng0n: [00:51] unop: just throw 'altscreen on' in my .screenrc ? [00:51] Datalanche: stick to gutsy [00:51] hah [00:51] Hey everyone [00:51] hansin, o.O have a source for that? [00:51] How can we help [00:51] Too late [00:51] I just wiped it [00:52] are there lots of bugs still in hardy heron? [00:52] whats LTS stand for [00:52] heh [00:52] Gman99999: it's not made for easy plug-n-play.. even tho ubuntu tries that. Sometimes you gotta manually install or setup a driver if that company who makes that piece of hardware doesn't give a linux driver for free and or hardware calls to developers to include in kernel. [00:52] nibsa1242b, sven_oostenbrink, I seem to remember the BOINC people saying the speed difference is negligible, and even sometimes negative. Never occured to me that that might be part of my wine diffculties [00:52] Gman99999, you can send me a tell and if i know i'll discuss it with you [00:52] Long Term Service [00:52] im going to try hardy today, i may even continue to use it [00:52] joh6nn, aye, yes .. but i'm just stabbing in the dark - what exactly is vim doing in screen? [00:52] what is the new package name for vim-full? [00:52] ng0n: I was just kidding with you. I highly suspect it is not related, at least not intentionally so. But that would be funny. [00:52] Gman99999: Oh yes! A LOT OF! [00:52] pifedo, you could make sure you have all the pulseaudio stuff you need, and remove the alsa & other stuff [00:52] does anyone know how to manually change screen-brightness? [00:52] does anyone know how to run XMMS2 on hardy? [00:52] pifedo, seems to have worked for me [00:52] hansin: ya, i get it. [00:52] !upgrade [00:52] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:52] hey.. it was FUNNY [00:52] Screen Brightness is a Monitor setting [00:52] phiqtion, xmms has been replaced by audacious [00:52] jPratt, long term support [00:52] i found a mirror thats serving hardy to me at 1150+ KBps [00:52] tanath: Yeah, isdualbootlinux?.dll. [00:52] Gman99999: I only use WINE to visit sites in IE that refuse to work with firefox, opera, or Konq. And that doesn't always work so well so I revert to kqemu. [00:52] kk thx [00:52] Hello. Anyone point me to anything for power management? 8.04.. trying to throttle my processor in my laptop. [00:52] tanath: I'm on a live session.. I just started the CD image I downloaded today.. [00:52] Oh, you wanted source... [00:52] 1288 files of upgrade to dl, 1288 files of upgrade, finish one up, save it to drive, 1287 files of upgrade to dl [00:53] unop: is audacious in the repos? [00:53] i have hardy but i am having trouble updating packages [00:53] hansin, heh [00:53] !audacious [00:53] audacious is included in !Feisty. A !repository also exists for !Edgy: see http://audacious-media-player.org/Downloads [00:53] nibsa1242b: Office 2003 via Crossover (wine) is perfect [00:53] interesting [00:53] Dason: right, but the power management options to change it have disappeared [00:53] does anyone know the horiz and VertSync for the PowerPC G4 [00:53] aww. its slowing down now [00:53] Just compile your own Upgrade! [00:53] I have skype but it sure sucks with linux [00:53] DBautell: sven_oostenbrink to the best of my knowledge, there is no 64 bit version of wine because it is attempting to emulate a 32bit OS [00:53] phiqtion, sorry, you said xmms2 .. you might need an xmms gui -- but audacious is available yes [00:53] phiqtion, it is [00:53] lol jk [00:53] Gman99999: http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ [00:53] anyone have any tips on getting my extra mouse buttons to do what they're supposed to? (I have a left-thumb button that should hit back button in browser, etc.) [00:53] Can you do office 07 with Wine? [00:53] Gman99999: skype works fine for me, just google metabunut repositories [00:53] ya.. skype is not so good in linux.. [00:53] jwwadk let me look into this [00:53] !mouse [00:53] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [00:53] thanks [00:53] Wyleyrabbit: what mouse do you have? [00:54] Wyleyrabbit, ^ [00:54] which i don't understand as it's a ROBUST program, by and large. [00:54] I cant even call out with skype on ubuntu [00:54] maco: I still think this is a grub and/or devmapping issue. I had this problem once before in Edgy or whenever they changed up the ATA a while back, and fixed it by installing Ubuntu on a drive on the PCI controller and it worked flawlessly. I guess I'll just have to scramble my drives and do it that way again... annoying as it is. >_> [00:54] !appdb > jPratt [00:54] maco: pong [00:54] it will only do pc to pc calls [00:54] !appdb [00:54] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [00:54] nibsa1242b, you've given me new hope [00:54] Gman99999: yeah, a friend of mine on Winblows was having a hard time trying to tell me how to start video [00:54] how can i get audacious? its not in the package mananger [00:54] unop: i occasionally get some odd screen artifacts, with vim (and other apps that do their own special thing with the term, like top), and when i end them, the term doesn't "page", for lack of a better term, like i'm used to; it leaves all the stuff from vim or top or what-have-you on the screen, and just starts a new line [00:54] i use gizmo works better [00:54] nibsa1242b: I have a logitech laser mouse. note sure particular part # [00:54] n/m found it [00:54] !mouse > Wyleyrabbit [00:54] ATA upgrade did good stuff for my Gigabyte board. [00:54] Gman99999: what error does it give you when you try? [00:54] no error just no sound [00:55] jwwadk What version are you using again, and where do you find YOUR brightness settings? [00:55] thanks tanath [00:55] w00t CSS! [00:55] np [00:55] (sorry for the repeat) hardy keeps barfing during install saying files don't match - I take it I should re-download gutsy, burn and install it, and upgrade to hardy from within? I don't get this problem. [00:55] w00t ! [00:55] eternal_p I dont hear a thing at all when I call a land line or cellphone [00:55] Gman99999, /join #Alsa [00:55] GDAY [00:55] normally [00:55] Why pulseaudio? Why firefox BETA!? NOthing works!! Firefox fonts sucks! My audio doesn't work! I lost my time! [00:55] joh6nn, i know what you mean, the contents of vim,top,etc stay on .. altscreen on ought to sort that [00:55] pifedo: it works for me [00:55] unop: thanks, i'll give that a shot. : ) [00:55] I've burned four coasters, but all of them pass the disk check and contain valid data [00:55] Why don't my NTFS automount settings in my fstab file work any longer? [00:55] DBautell: I think you can run it in a 32bit chroot. (I used to run a 32bit firefox that way). I have no idea how to do that anymore though. I just switched to 32bit because I didn't see any reason to run everything 64bit. [00:55] but when I call another skype user it works just fine [00:55] pifedo, they work great... [00:55] Gman99999: first result in google: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=4489 :) [00:55] joh6nn, also while in .screenrc .. place 'clear' in too [00:56] hi :) [00:56] DEstlund, did you burn them at a slower speed? [00:56] Gman99999: weirdness [00:56] Dason I'm using 8.04 (upgraded today, love it except for this problem), and I can't seem to find my monitor settings. Since upgrading, the hotkeys on my laptop for changing brightness do not work, and the brightness options have disappeared from power management [00:56] they use to work fine.. not in 8.06! (to me!) [00:56] hi, hola [00:56] pifedo, you are running from a livecd, no? [00:56] quiero hacer un servido LTSP [00:56] i'm having troubles with my bcm4318 wifi on a ibook G4 :( [00:56] can someone assist me in a synaptic package manager issue in 8.04? [00:56] Quien m ayuda [00:56] I think my system isn't rare.. Asus p5b-plus with ICH8 intel chip.. [00:56] pifedo, sometimes things don't work right on the disc [00:56] !es | Acalorado [00:56] Acalorado: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [00:56] Hello. Anyone point me to anything for power management? 8.04.. trying to throttle my processor in my laptop. [00:56] jwwadk Yea I noticed that too. You may have to re-enable that [00:56] i'm burning them at 1x right now, but I don't see why the ubuntu 8.04 cd would be any different than 7.10, or any other cd for that matter. The burns are valid [00:56] Myke516, the servers are overloaded, [00:56] Wyleyrabbit: I use btnx on my Logitech mice. I find it very useful. ( http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ ) [00:56] it just doesn't work :( [00:57] Dason do you know how I would do that? [00:57] #chile [00:57] tanath: I already installed the system (BETA) some weeks ago and had the same problem [00:57] I'm only 1286 files away from running 8.04 :D [00:57] 18.2x is a permissible write speed [00:57] Ah i was thinking that [00:57] DEstlund, burning slow does make a difference, I can attest to that [00:57] so far 8.04 is running great though! [00:57] pifedo, well... packages have changed since then [00:57] Acalorado: entra en #ubuntu-es, yo te ayudo si puedo [00:57] DEstlund, dells and hp really prefer slow burns [00:57] how would i update my ubuntu server to run the latest version? [00:57] Ubuntu 8.04.. SO PUMPED!!! [00:57] !upgrade > anathematic (anathematic, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:57] unop: that did it, thanks! [00:57] ty [00:58] pifedo, firefox for instance seems to be the fastest & most stable i've seen so far, even though it's beta [00:58] bododo_: that is a trouble card! I know to get mine to work I had to enable it in restricted drivers manager [00:58] To prevent overload on the servers, couldnt Canocial release the torrent first, then provide direct downloads a day later? [00:58] joh6nn, yw [00:58] jwwadk U will be back soon, I need to restart here [00:58] Are repositories down? [00:58] Ertyle: i can't see anything for ubuntu 8 there? [00:58] "I" [00:58] Light|DC, doo discussion toppic for #Ubuntu-offtopic [00:58] ok, thanks [00:58] ohk [00:58] Jack_Sparrow: I'm giving it a try right now - it's not a brand name pc, just a scrap heap I put together (but with good parts) Still it seems odd that I can clone a game dvd for backup with no problem but Ubuntu doesn't like it [00:58] tanath: Direct rendering is supported for "intel". Still no decorations though [00:58] Please help. I can't get desktop effects to work after upgrading to 8.04. [00:58] Light|DC, part of the upgrade process is canonical ensuring it's servers are capable, so it's a testing time :) [00:58] nibsa1242b: i did :( and yes you're right [00:58] us.archive.ubuntu.com ? [00:58] hello [00:58] it's a dmaned card [00:58] alright - burn is done! With any luck you won't see me again in 10 minutes - thanks Jack_Sparrow [00:59] I'm using an Nvidia card on an x86 (celeron) box [00:59] np [00:59] sean_, did you run 'compiz --replace &' from terminal? [00:59] did anyone get the alternate cd to work and install? [00:59] bododo_: additionally, after a few hours of heavy surfing the card progressively looses its connection and I have to "sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx" and then "sudo modprobe bcm43xx" to get it working again. [00:59] bododo_: What version of Ubuntu do you have? [00:59] tanath: yup. want me to pastebin? [00:59] I cant get my nvidia driver to work in Hardy, every time i reboot it goes back to low graphics mode [00:59] anathematic: ouch, it's not been updated... well, the instructions for ->7.10 should apply for the most part [00:59] So, as with every time I install Ubuntu, windows maximize to both my monitors instead of one. Is there a workaround? I recall with 7.04 I got lucky after a reboot and it started working properly. [00:59] e2, 'gksu displayconfig-gtk' to make sure you have the right driver installed [00:59] nibsa1242b: the new one; hardy [00:59] sean_, did it say anything interesting? [01:00] hi [01:00] dabbilt: wat nvida card you got, or is it on board ? [01:00] is the xorg.conf file not in use in hardy? [01:00] nibsa1242b: it used to seem to work at a distnce of 3 meters with gutsy [01:00] bradlis7, it is... [01:00] bododo_: I can't help you there... haven't been able to upgrade. I'm waiting for the repos to be less swamped. [01:00] bradlis7, it can be, but xorg can work without one [01:00] It's an old 128 Mb NVidia card. Worked just fine with compiz on 7.10. [01:00] bradlis7, xorg is entirely different with this release [01:00] anathematic: though to be honest, i think you'd be better off waiting until the mirrors actually start working again and there is some documentation [01:00] why do the animations not work in compiz? [01:00] Dason: you just need to look harder [01:00] so how do i manage the config? [01:00] Ertyle: yeah i think i might wait anyway ty [01:00] nibsa1242b: but the solution should be the same, right? [01:00] is there another file? [01:01] bradlis7, you could create one i guess [01:01] bradlis7: it is, but its minimal because xorg tries to autodetect things. You can edit it by hand, its your choice [01:01] 5200 ? [01:01] nibsa1242b: can I pm you, please? [01:01] Dason: there are open source alternatives to almost everything [01:01] bododo_: mine works within about a 10-12meter range in Gutsy... which is about half the range I get in Windows [01:01] i've just finished downloading the ISO, do I "open with ~creator" or "write to disk">? [01:01] pci, pci-express ? [01:01] bododo_: sure pm away [01:01] bradlis7, 'gksu displayconfig-gtk' will give you a gui for configuring it [01:01] i have nvidia, but it doesn't seem to be able to use it [01:01] tanath: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64294/ [01:01] SeaPhor, write to disk is what I use [01:01] i am trying to set up my server to send email [01:01] ng0n, 8800GT [01:01] bradlis7 i'm having problems with nvidia and my crt displaying [01:01] my NTFS automount stopped working in 8.04 [01:02] does anyone know why? [01:02] can anyone help me get the animations for the windows to work in compiz? [01:02] anybody know the shortcut/macro keys to load up Tracker Search? [01:02] Jack_Sparrow, Thanks Bro! [01:02] np [01:02] dab: o. rats. [01:02] HELP - I'm stuck at 1024 x 768 and no desktop effects. [01:02] does anyone know how i can set up my server to send email's? [01:02] nomopofomo: read the release notes [01:02] SeaPhor, burn at a slow speed [01:02] sean_, doesn't seem you have the right driver [01:02] i still have the same exact issue [01:02] e2, have you checked the screen resolution options? [01:02] i tried to add other application and got "failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntudists/hardy/Release.gpg" .. and so on [01:02] blah, stupid resolutions are retarded on heron [01:02] Both Pidgin and Evolution have stopped being able to create SSL and TLS connections this morning. They don't print any debug info on the cmdline. Am I missing something obvious? [01:02] brb tryin some thing [01:02] Yep. 1024 x 768 is max. [01:02] Jack_Sparrow, slowest option i have is 18.6? [01:02] huh. [01:02] i have a flat screen... i finally got the nv driver to work, and the resolution works right when logged in, but the GDM resolution is too big, and displaymanager-gtk has never used the resolution that it says it uses [01:02] tanath: it passes the direct rendering test though [01:02] SeaPhor, np use that [01:02] what's the max resolution on your monitor? [01:03] I usually have this issue until the nvidia driver is installed and enabled. [01:03] 800x600 max on my 21 inch monitor, that's if i turn off 3d drivers [01:03] Before the upgrade = 1280 x 1024. [01:03] with 3d drivers i get 680x480 max [01:03] yeah, mine's showing 800x600, but it's supposed to be 1440x900 [01:03] e2, we are in the same boat [01:03] the x server crashes and restarts [01:03] all of us [01:03] stupid upgrade [01:03] can only start in a filsafe session [01:03] sean_, glxinfo says direct rendering: yes ?

[01:04] nibsa1242b, there's nothing in the release notes about NTFS [01:04] The loading bar in the usplash keeps bobbing back and forth instead of actually loading. how do I fix this? [01:04] we need to start a chat about resolution problems [01:04] i should of saved my xorg.conf from 7.10 [01:04] SeaPhor, you can also consider dual boot... [01:04] someone needs to write a guide..

[01:07] Jack_Sparrow, However, I have not logged into my windows partition in so long,,, i would have to spend the first 3 hours on win-updates, AV updates, and a reboot or 2,,,, [01:07] Ertyle: ata1: failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x4) [01:07] nvidia restricted driver doesn't show up on my hardware drivers either [01:07] Ertyle: but booting in recovery mode works [01:07] was [01:07] lol [01:07] bradlis7, to fix that you need to go into synaptic and enable third party software, then install nvidia-glx-new [01:07] SeaPhor, I disabled the network card in my windows partition.. too much work to keep it running online.. [01:07] brandlis7 how do you open the display menu? [01:07] theunixgeek_: upgrade or fresh install?

[01:08] dabbill, you need to go into synaptic, enable third party software repositories, then install nvidia-glx-new [01:08] Ertyle: it keeps telling me over and over that EH complete for ata2 [01:08] what are the colors on this look called? metacity or gtk2?

[01:11] mvinsc, qualified maybe :p [01:11] nownot, did it ever get through apt-get update ? [01:11] hi, could anyone here help me set up a multimonitor output via VGA (or a clone output) in KDE 3.5? (also running compiz) [01:11] theunixgeek_: you might want to try booting with the "irqpoll" kernel option, given bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/204916 (and also possibly related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/107982 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/112132) [01:11] i like brandlis :D [01:11] I'm trying to find the remaining disk space on a remote ubuntu system.... anyone got a command line for it ? [01:11] Ertyle: thanks [01:11] mvinsc, if you're not doing a fresh install, make sure you undo any blacklisting stuff you did previously [01:11] i ran update manager and its downloading 79 packages. does that sound right for an update from gutsy to hardy or are those just gutsy updates ? [01:11] remove ndiswrapper configs, etc [01:12] Ertyle: the irqpoll has always bugged me in every distro - ubuntu, fedora, etc [01:12] * bradlis7 laughs [01:12] theunixgeek_: although, the fact that recovery mode works leaves me perplexed [01:12] i is back [01:12] When I open xsane, this comes up, and the program immedietly exits: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [01:12] theunixgeek_: but you were using Gutsy without it? [01:12] CaptainMorgan, free ? [01:12] CaptainMorgan: df -a [01:12] Ertyle: yeah [01:12] Jack_Sparrow, yes [01:12] ok. thanks [01:12] nomopofomo, also it shows that i have nvidia-glx-new installed [01:12] !Segmentation fault [01:12] can anyone answer me [01:12] Jack_Sparrow: doing it now [01:12] theunixgeek_: was your drive /dev/sdwhatever or /dev/hdwhatever in gutsy? [01:12] i ran update manager and its downloading 79 packages. does that sound right for an update from gutsy to hardy or are those just gutsy updates ? [01:12] Ertyle: not sure [01:12] Ertyle: but now it's booting normally [01:12] anyone here know how to use avatar-factory?? [01:12] towlieban: doesn't sound right [01:12] towlieban, probably just gutsy [01:13] towlieban: that sounds a little too little for that ;) [01:13] Ertyle: how do I change grub to always boot with irqpoll? [01:13] i think there were 1000 packages that i had to update [01:13] Ertyle: (I'm logged in now :D ) [01:13] i'm doing the same upgrade and it has 1.5k "files" [01:13] theunixgeek_: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst - however be aware that irqpoll does take a toll on performance (not sure how bad a toll, but) [01:13] 1500 packages ?????/ [01:13] hey everyone, what's the command to update to 8.04? [01:13] Ertyle: oh well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do ;) [01:13] towlieban: that would me more like it [01:13] how many packages are there for an update from gutsy to hardy ? [01:13] dunno if they're packages themselves [01:13] Ertyle: thanks a bunch :) [01:14] When I open xsane, this comes up, and the program immedietly exits: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [01:14] i have to update 1237 files and at 1057 file [01:14] towlieban, it depends on how many packages you had installed on your gutsy [01:14] not much longer to wait [01:14] hey, anybody know how to install lightning 0.8 w/ thunderbird for 8.04? [01:14] but basically it will update every package [01:14] I cant get wi e [01:14] wine** [01:14] how can i unpack a .RAR archive [01:14] towlieban: see, Abd agrees w/ me sorta [01:14] i downloaded a .tar.bz2 firewall package, extracted it and cant run make or make install, any reason for this? [01:14] !rar > phiqtion (phiqtion, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:14] jPratt: sudo apt-get install wine [01:14] !rar > phiqtion [01:14] the usf.edu server is in good shape, if anyone needs to update [01:15] !update [01:15] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:15] xb3rt: define "can't run" [01:15] * Twigathy waves [01:15] of [01:15] !rar|phiqtion [01:15] phiqtion: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft.

There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [01:15] phiqtion: www.rarlab.com :) [01:15] linkmaster03, this usually means that the application was compiled using different libraries than what you currently have. Revert to previous version, it might fix problem. You can also compile your own xsane. [01:15] E: Couldn't find package wine [01:15] YES, that fixed it branlis7 [01:15] jPratt: you need Universe enabled [01:15] cabrioleur: i'll try compiling it myself thank you [01:15] !sources > jPratt (jPratt, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:15] Ertyle, i can do the ./configure but thats as far as it gets [01:15] jPratt: do you have universe enabled? [01:15] Hello, If I have an older version of ubuntu and I want to get the new version, do I need to re-download/install the newest version or can I use the internet update feature? [01:15] jPratt: or add the wine repository [01:15] that is annoying that they didn't include the display option in the menus [01:15] xb3rt: then what happens? use pastebin if necessary [01:15] !update [01:15] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:16] with desktop effects, there's a pink glow around windows. how do I fix this?

[01:16] is anyone else having problems with brightness hotkeys in heron? [01:16] I'm trying to set up an NFSroot style Hardy install, but the boot always hangs at "eth0: link up" (This is after the nfs-premount script runs). Is there any way of nuking network manager or anything which will mess about with the networking? [01:16] how do you enable universe? [01:16] mOrO^: use the torrents, see /topic [01:16] Ertyle, how do i use pastebin [01:16] oh yeah, bradlis7 [01:16] jPratt: see the message from Ubotu, it has a link about "recommended sources" [01:16] does wubi have resume ?

If it doesnt... Ill wait :) [01:16] that site for upgrading doesnt mention 7.10 to 8.04 heres the right link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades [01:16] sorry about the name, wow this looks better than 7.04, it's like a little smoother it seems [01:16] err 7.10 [01:16] mOrO^: "auto install"?

Can someone help me find out whats wrong? [01:17] Ertyle, yeah, through the update manager [01:17] simonft2: it's a ubuntu application, why can't I? [01:17] macabro22: repos are very slow [01:17] ok [01:17] macabro22: too many people trying to upgrade at once, probably [01:17] OPS: who here controls the link thats returned when doing !update ?

[01:24] mattycoze, ohh, ahh well - not to worry, you can redistribute the ISO to friends and family :) [01:24] Zasch: it's probably having a hard time talking to the servers, mine did that too. try running aptitude and picking a closer mirror to download from. [01:24] fsufitch, have you tried the integrated gnome menu? [01:24] <_ZeuZ_> dabbill, I'm on Hardy [01:24] can i install from a ntfs partion, i don't have a dvd handy [01:24] cappicard: stick with the old for a while till we get these bugs worked out [01:24] without using wubi [01:24] Zasch: I mean synaptic, not aptitude. [01:24] Zasch today is the first day of the release ... the servers always get slammed on day's like today ... just be patient [01:24] <_ZeuZ_> PM me so I can show you [01:24] mohbana: i don't think so [01:24] _ZeuZ_, what do you have the driver set as? nvidia or nv ? [01:24] <_ZeuZ_> and help you [01:24] ok, i agree on that. [01:24] <_ZeuZ_> nvidia [01:24] hm, nvidia still not showing up in restricted drivers [01:24] cabrioleur: yes, i can get it workngi under gnome, but i prefer using my kde. is there a way to access the gnome menu in kde? [01:24] mohbana: from within windows? try unetbootin or wubi then [01:24] does Hardy have mysql 5.1? [01:25] !info mysql hardy | altj [01:25] altj: Package mysql does not exist in hardy [01:25] wubi works like a charm the last time I tried it [01:25] _ZeuZ_, invite me too, i'm about to upgrade [01:25] <_ZeuZ_> dabbill, remember to identify first [01:25] altj no you have to install it seperately [01:25] hi.. can't join to #ubuntu+1 [01:25] <_ZeuZ_> SeaPhor, IRC dos not have that capability [01:25] sammy: How do I do that? [01:25] heh; http://digg.com/linux_unix/Massive_Desktop_Linux_deployment_52_MILLION_new_users === gnomefre4k is now known as gnomefreak [01:25] altj: i see only 5.0 [01:25] <_ZeuZ_> KalEl, ?? [01:25] KalEl: that's because hardy's been released [01:25] KalEl: read the topic [01:25] KalEl: this channel is now focused on Hardy [01:25] !topic [01:25] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

Is there a way to enable video output? [01:26] oh great! [01:26] _ZeuZ_, sure it does ;-) #SeaPhor [01:26] servers are dead [01:26] dny: the servers are very busy [01:26] anyone else having scratchy sound problems? [01:26] <_ZeuZ_> x'D [01:26] fsufitch, gnome-display-properties [01:26] <_ZeuZ_> create a channel is not the same xD [01:26] <_ZeuZ_> though Here I go [01:26] yea my update manager keeps crashing when I try to upgrade [01:26] how do i turn on svideo output on my laptop? ( the function key + f4 dont work - did in windows) ? [01:26] KalEl: try #ubuntu-release-party perhaps :) [01:26] Shpook, you'll probably have to use a fn key combo [01:26] anyone else seeing high CPU usage with FF3 beta 5? [01:26] well i knew they were busy, but i didn't know if that'd be the reason. mine doesn't crash like everyone elses seems to do, it just doesn't show any new updates. :/ [01:26] bmk789: nope [01:26] bmk789: what extensions yo have loaded [01:26] anyone know why the hardy update manager will not check the CD before requesting files from the repos... I have the CD option set in the software sources, and inserted, and I've unchecked the internet sources in the gutsy software sources [01:26] fsufitch, also, here http://sernaonubuntu.wikidot.com/multiple-monitors is an interesting article how to modify xorg.conf (based on integrated intel card) [01:26] bmk789: much less than ever [01:26] Zasch: synaptic package manager should be easy to find, look with the other administration tools. you're going to open the 'repositories' item in the menus, and there should be a drop-down list to select your mirror. you can then select 'other' and click the button to find your closest mirror. [01:27] Daisuke_Ido: Sorry, I meant to mention that I tried that and it didn't work. [01:27] Ertyle :) [01:27] cabrioleur: thx! i'll try [01:27] does anyone know how to control screen brightness without using the power manager? [01:27] are the repositories overloaded atm? :\ [01:27] bazhang: good question, ill try to disable a few and see what it does [01:27] What is the GTK library package name? [01:27] goat|work: is it the alternat install CD? [01:27] Pc_Madness: yes [01:27] JPSmon: no desktop [01:27] bah :( [01:27] eta? [01:27] libgtk? [01:27] anyone else having scratchy sound problems? [01:27] Pc_Madness: hard to say since they are hammered with traffic really [01:27] Pc_Madness: eta is now, its just super slow [01:27] linkmaster03: libgtk2.0-0 [01:28] Was it nvidia-settings or something that used to allow dual monitors? [01:28] jwwadk I am able to adjust screen brightness by doing FN + arrowup/arrowdown [01:28] thanks Starnestommy [01:28] JPSmon: why wouldn't the desktop work over the alt install cd? [01:28] as a software source [01:28] seamus7: I'm basically trying to do the same thing as you, except with a cga output instead of s-video. [01:28] which i should install gnash, swfdef or adobe? [01:28] did Ubuntu mobile get released last night as well? [01:29] Hello all [01:29] Shpook, yes, nvidia-settings can modify xorg.conf to let you use multiple screens. [01:29] goat|work: just not made to do that [01:29] goat|work: hrm I dunno. [01:29] Wow this is epic [01:29] an IRC that is actually used [01:29] guys quick question does server edition has default gui or you have to install it manually? [01:29] For some reason my postgresql installation has inexplicably quit working. It fails with an error: 'could not load root certificate file "root.crt": no SSL error reported' [01:29] Pc_Madness: likely not [01:29] <_ZeuZ_> Guys, is there any package in Ubuntu Server for Per-Host-In-The-Network bandwidth allowance control? Without having to use TCNG directly nor recurring to htb-gen nor htb.init ? I don-t want to use CBQ either... [01:29] cabrioleur: Thank you, hopefully it will allow me to enable the vga output on my laptop. [01:29] seamus7: thanks, but the hotkeys are different on my laptop. i was thinking more of a software-based solution [01:29] bugger :( [01:29] corden: need to install [01:29] bazhang: I disabled a bunch that didnt work anyway and now it seems to be behaving correctly, thanks [01:29] Anyone up for helping a newbie with an Install problem? [01:29] bazhang: so the alt install would be identified? damn, had i known :-) [01:29] I read online about a family tree making program. Does that come preinstalled, or do I have to download it, and if so, what is it called? [01:30] i'm ghost everyone.. peac === lee__ is now known as umass1993 [01:30] bazhang, so i need inet connection so that i can download the gui? [01:30] Does anybody know what's happened to the Gobuntu Hardy release? The latest build on cdimage.ubuntu.com was a daily from 4 days ago [01:30] Well I'm having problems installing Ubuntu 7.10 on an SiS 630/730 Integrated system along with an AMD Athlon 32-bit processor [01:30] jcwilliams: it might help if you tell us what your problem is. don't ask to ask a question [01:30] archive.ubuntu.com clogged [01:30] goat|work: many new packages are just not on the livecd; if you have hardy already you dont need either cd [01:30] Wow, servers must be slammed with the release. I'm only getting 15kbps when I usually get 400-500+ [01:30] does virtualbox need a lot of power to run? [01:30] Ubuntu's installer crashes on BusyBox [01:30] corden: would be helpful yes [01:30] :/ [01:30] bazhang: thanks [01:30] I'm not even getting a connection yet. I've heard reports that it's taking like 5 minutes :) [01:31] i hope people are using the torrents instead of downloading images via http/ftp *cough cough* [01:31] MP2E: check the md5sum for that disk [01:31] oic, i thinking if the gui it on the cd, just need to be install. bazhang [01:31] Anyone know? [01:31] Did [01:31] osmosis emerald under hardy heron doesnt work --- but fix is emerald --replace [01:31] I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on an XPS 420. I think my video card is the problem. I am running an Nvidia Geforce 8800GT [01:31] instead of trying to upgrade through update manager, would it be faster to just download the CD? [01:31] bmk789: I think it's more the dist-upgrade folks [01:31] bazhang: I have previously installed Ubuntu from that same disk [01:31] How can I enable SSH on Hardy? [01:31] bmk789: I would help with that if my internet wasn't screwed up [01:31] But on a different system [01:31] Paulius: sudo apt-get install ssh [01:31] Paulius, install the openssh package [01:31] could a scratch possibley have messed it up? [01:31] Paulius: it does the rest ;) [01:31] But Disk Check doesn't work either [01:31] cycom: ya but arent the images hosted on the same server? [01:31] Paulius: openssh-server or -client [01:31] if your hardware RAID controller lets you dynamically grow volume groups, do you still need to you LVM to grow partitions? [01:31] cycom, ANTDx1: It says "package obsolete" on both. [01:32] Zasch: likely both are slow at this point--torrents would be fastest [01:32] hmm [01:32] oh, look at that, I wonder whats in /boot/grub/default? nope. thats not it. [01:32] cabrioleur: I just installed xsane from source, this still shows and exits Segmentation fault (core dumped) [01:32] raiderxx: if you don't know the program name, its hard to identify if its on the OS, but i haven't heard of any [01:32] cycom: or at least using the same bandwidth [01:32] try openssh-server, like someone else said [01:32] bazhang: where can I find a torrent? [01:32] anyone know of a good clone of the mac os x dock? OTHER than karamba? [01:32] i screwed up my xorg.conf file and i can't get bulletproofX to start and i don't have an xorg conf file i can use to start xorg around. any suggestions on how to get a working xorg ? [01:32] bmk789: presumably, but I don't think most people are going and downloading an ISO right now [01:32] zasch read the topic [01:32] Shadow_X: awn [01:32] Shadow_X: awn [01:32] would anyone happen to know where debconf is getting the UUID for my root partition to put into my grub configuration? I've moved it and it thinks it's in the same place and I have no idea where it's set [01:32] bmk789: we should ask Mr. Shuttleworth to publish the download stats on the individual files. [01:33] cycom: good idea [01:33] i would like to do a complete reinstall, how can I get a list of all the packages I've installed? [01:33] <`KoRn> /join #ubuntu-women [01:33] am I online?

More like, something is making my CPU go crazy and hog CPU time. Compaq presario with 1024 MB of RAM and a celery CPU. Gutsy does not give this problem. [01:45] stupid question, how do i know which version of ubuntu i'm running? i had a rough time upgrading, and i'm not sure whether i'm running 8.04 proper, or whether i'm still on the release candidate [01:45] because you cant fold them, so zipping doesnt work [01:45] moDumass: tubes [01:45] Find things that are on both of those; also check dates on downloads. [01:45] KyleK: The theme isn't in the list - how do I customize something that isn't available? [01:45] Jobias, cat /etc/lsb-release [01:45] Ok. Thanks for the tips. [01:45] Jobias: rc -> final is so not a dist-upgrade [01:45] Hello.. i'm facing a little problem with my vga after installing hardy. i installed the restricted drivers, but my resolution when to 640x480. and there is no higher option. [01:45] And thanks for no one yelling RTFM or GTFO. [01:45] lsb_release -a Jobias [01:45] :) [01:45] sera [01:45] Jobias: in the terminal, type lsb_release -a [01:45] Jobias: its just an apt-get upgrade :p [01:45] hi [01:45] KyleK: And dragging the file in resulted in the same 'Install OK' dialog, but no new theme. [01:45] the_darkside_986: go to terminal and type top to see what's hogging the cpu [01:45] hwilde: thanks [01:45] Kylec, theyre the same thing - the old ones are metal and the new ones are plastic, thats the only difference [01:46] !info htop [01:46] the_darkside_986 have you looked into 'tracker' ... it can hog resources ... it's the default indexing service for system wide searches .. you can throttle it [01:46] htop (source: htop): interactive processes viewer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.6+svn20070915-1 (hardy), package size 45 kB, installed size 176 kB [01:46] ppictures sti;; clog them though [01:46] very handy tool: htop [01:46] KyleK: ah, good to know :D [01:46] DARN us.archive.ubuntu.com [01:46] moveax: click customize, they didn't design it right [01:46] I am having trouble using the live cd iso. When I boot I get (initramfs) blinking cursor. Tried to burns from two different mirrors. No luck. Should I try an upgrade from alternate cd instead. [01:46] IcemanV9: thanks [01:46] Find a different mirror. [01:46] moveax: you might have to customize an existing theme [01:46] another question, does anyone know of a good ircd? [01:46] duaneb: pick a mirror outside the country [01:46] rhanthony, sudo aptitude search irc [01:46] duaneb, use the git mirror its blazing [01:46] <_alf_> is there a way to take an xubuntu install and turn it into a regular install of ubuntu (GNOME)? I tried removing xubuntu-desktop but all it did was drop a little 33K package. [01:46] rhanthony: inspircd, hybrid, unreal, or ratbox [01:46] Not necessary to go outside the country. [01:47] anyone have experience with some of those? personal opinions? [01:47] how do i throttle trackerd (is that its name?) [01:47] the_darkside_986 have you opened system monitor to see which running service seems to be using up you cpu resources [01:47] _alf_: install ubuntu-desktop [01:47] <_alf_> bazhang: thanks [01:47] _alf_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.. then change sessions on the login screen [01:47] _alf_ install ubuntu-desktop , it'll install alongside. Use options->sessions on the login screen to choose which to run [01:47] never run an ircd, wanna try so i can put chat rooms up for some of my sites [01:47] xchat rhanthony [01:47] rhanthony, why not use freenode it's free [01:47] well, the only CPU % that isn't 0 is gnome-system-monitor and firefox. but it lags without firefox or sysmonitor running [01:47] hwilde: cause, i also want to just learn how to run an ircd. [01:48] the_darkside_986: go to system -> preferences -> Search and Indexing [01:48] _alf_: also there's an apt-get command that cleans out unused packages. it's possible you have an unbelievable amount of dependencies that aren't needed. try apt-get autoclean [01:48] the_darkside_986 it should be an icon in your notification area ... right click and look through preferences ... you can also access it through System/Preferences/SearchandIndexing [01:48] has anyboidy gotten full 8.04 to boot on intel macs in livCD mode? [01:48] when distro-upgrading (from gutsy) with the alternate cd, is it safe to upgrade by mounting the iso, or do I have to burn it? [01:48] the_darkside_986: trackerd might just be indexing.. when it's done all will be well. [01:48] rhanthony, sudo aptitude search irc [01:48] ok [01:48] i've always go out and figured out how to DO the things I like using on the net... its how I started off, and why I am now a network engineer :P curiosity and not taking "no, normal people can't do that" as an answer [01:48] what do i do in the tracker preferences dialog? [01:48] <_alf_> sammy: thanks... i'll try that too. [01:48] _alf_: I mean autoremove. autoclean deletes package files [01:48] pure`eigenVector: why does upgrading involve a cd? [01:48] rhanthony: I think ircd-hybrid is in the repos, but I prefer inspircd althopugh it has to be compiled from source [01:49] *although [01:49] KyleK... update servers are slow are really slow atm [01:49] KyleK: OK, so that resolved the controls - but the window borders aren't as they should be [01:49] ah [01:49] Normal people shouldn't run a home network on a CISCO cat 6509 ... but it's one hell of a way to learn about networking :P [01:49] the_darkside_986: click on performance tab and move adjust the throttling option [01:49] rhanthony: yes, normal people should, and the other people should be relegated to the 'AOL' internet where you can't break anything. [01:49] USE OTHER MIRRORS! [01:49] <_alf_> how do i specify the "git mirror" that hwlide spoke of, since the us ubuntu archive is getting railed?

[01:49] can I install FF3 along-side FF2? [01:49] KyleK: ah, resolved that too, n/m :) [01:50] Look between these two: [01:50] ok thanks. What about extremely slow startup time?

Help/ideas? [01:54] my updates keep failing in the new ubuntu [01:54] what do i do? [01:54] I usually burn at like 2x when I'm burning OSs ?.? [01:54] smick: X configuration with even one monitor and a good 'ol FOSS driver supported video card is a chore enough. it *is* better than it was last decade, though :D [01:54] I rebooted and got (initramfs)_ prompt both times [01:54] bazhang: in linux 7.10. the cd is 8.04 [01:54] any one get a 8800 GT working in hardy that can help me out?

[01:54] thanks guys... i've got what i needed for now... thanks agian for the help. [01:54] I rebooted and got (initramfs)_ prompt both times With Live CD [01:54] sammy: but not better than 4 weeks ago, which is my last upgrade and last time I booted into ubuntu.

[01:56] smick: thank you, nvidia and ati, for thinking that a closed source world is the best answer to innovation and progress. easily half of the questions I see for linux are 'my video is f'd up!' just 'cause there's so much pressure for one to be better than the other. [01:56] bazhang: the live cd. it asked me to install from the CD the very first time I inserted it. But after that, it only shows me the contents. [01:56] ahave, you know everybody is upgrading to 8.04 right? [01:56] ahave servers are understandably overworked [01:56] I'll be switching TO ATI in summer, frankly. [01:56] I could configur my wireless (Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI) connection in Gutsy by installing the broadcom firmwire, then enabling it in "Restricted Driver Manager". Now in Hardy, after I install the firmwire, I cannot locate the firmwire in "Driver Manager" (there is no "Restricted Driver Manager" anymore) in order to enable it. Any ideas? Thanks.

[01:56] lirit you need to disable the cd as a software source in synpatic [01:56] i'm facing a problem with my vga after installing hardy. it's Nvidia FX5500. i installed the restricted drivers and after reboot the resolution went to 640x480. could anyone help me out? [01:56] ahave: have you tried running synaptic package manager and having it look for the closest mirror to you? that helped for me. [01:56] nvidia is closed-source crap. [01:57] ahave, you should go outside and get some exercise and come back tomorrow [01:57] LainIwakura: the "Restricted Manager" got renamed to "Driver Manager" at least on my machine [01:57] sammy, no i have not. [01:57] why does apt-get update stop at 56 % getting headers [01:57] yes but nvidia drivers work better than all other [01:57] hey guys... i think i made a pritty useful script for splitting movies. how do you get it on the official wiki?

[02:01] infact it says its enabled in that, even rebooted, and its not using it [02:01] I'll check =) [02:01] nickrud: i couldn't see .... all i got was black screen .... finally i am back. sorry. you're welcome to ban me to make everyone else happy. [02:02] oh, see, hwilde just goes straight to wanting to look him/herself :P [02:02] <_ZeuZ_> lsmod | grep nvidia [02:02] I need help upgrading. [02:02] my screen went black when I tried using it [02:02] IcemanV9 nah, it was out of character for you. That's why I assumed a mistake [02:02] I get stuck on setting new software channels [02:02] JoshBP: please elaborate [02:02] Exodus, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64297/ [02:02] lol @ sammy [02:02] JoshBP, arent the mirrors overloaded? === nick111 is now known as Miss [02:02] hi [02:03] does ubuntu ave any sort of central hardware setup type tool? [02:03] have* [02:03] yo why does network manager take up 74M of memory? [02:03] nickrud: it's weird ... it happens a few time ... thks for knowing me well that i wouldn't do anything stupid. [02:03] Seems there is a stream of questions here... Let me rephrase: Is it possible to repartition the disc without reformatting (lots of valuable info) when installing Hardy? My Lenovo T60 won't let me do it... Anyone, help :) [02:03] are the servers down or under a bunch of load? [02:03] I hate catch22s [02:03] vileda, yes [02:03] network manager takes up more memory than Xorg [02:03] wtf [02:03] !repartition [02:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about repartition - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:03] the_darkside_986 cpu or memory? do you have enough ram? enough video ram? are you running a bunch of programs at once? [02:03] !partition [02:03] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [02:04] graft, virtual memory or physical memory? === Miss is now known as Miss_Adriana_Ber [02:04] vi1985: change partitions? you wish to resize, format or what please specify [02:04] telexicon: physical is only 37m, but still more than xorg [02:04] greets! i just did a fresh install of 8.04RC the other day and can't find a good howto on dual monitors for hardy. all the ones i find are very old. the screen res tool is not detecting the 2nd monitor, using fglrx with compiz; 2nd monitor is working as a sort of clone but not at same res so it scrolls the viewport. Help/ideas? [02:04] help upgrade 710 to 804 .. [02:04] I need help getting the Live CD to boot. My Monitor hits sleep mode and my computer just beeps [02:04] telexicon: and way too much for a stupid network manager to take up [02:04] graft, xorg is highly optimized [02:04] update manager no response [02:04] telexicon: and network manager is not? [02:04] lol! [02:04] no network manager is not [02:04] Any Xen gurus here? Having some issues with Xen after upgrading to Hardy :( [02:04] let me see [02:05] telexicon: well, balls [02:05] In Synaptic what exactly is the difference between "Mark for removal" and "Mark for complete removal"? [02:05] i seem to have encountered a strange bug in ubuntu 8.04's NFS booting [02:05] graft: it is the size it is; I prefer to uninstall it and use command line--you are free to do so as well [02:05] after upgrading i don't have sound at all [02:05] specifically, after it boots from the network, it freezes after loading squashfs [02:05] lol, wtf?! [02:05] why does my whole system keep lagging randomly when I'm running only firefox and chatzilla. (well the system claims a package manager is running ...)? [02:05] it won't unfreeze unless you wait a few minutes, press Ctrl-N, and hit enter [02:05] hello, anybody know of anything strange going on this afternoon such as failure to access repositories? [02:05] CJS3141: unisintall and purge [02:05] this is taking a bit to get it into pastebin FYI [02:05] how do i enable my atheros wifi card? [02:05] bazhang: comamdnline you mean like if-up etc? [02:05] ;)) [02:05] CJS3141 mark for complete removal deletes the configuration files (I think that's the only difference) [02:05] the_darkside_986, i think there is a bug in firefox that the devs are ignoring [02:05] whee install cd keeps saying I have logic errors lol, i can't even check disk integrity [02:06] graft: command line (cli) [02:06] jon_high9000: The traffic is really high because so many people are updating [02:06] jon_high9000: hardy was just released, load is high, try a mirror [02:06] firefox freaks out and eats up 70% cpu and thrashes the hard drive often [02:06] lol [02:06] i'm having some problems with an install of gutsy over floppies (boot from sarge floppies, then grabbing ubuntu's debootstrap)... [02:06] milly1234: mojo: you're probably on your own, more or less. dual monitor setups are almost always completely different as someone else's, they're really hard to debug and troubleshoot. [02:06] thats why i run opera :) [02:06] bazhang: yes, do you mean using ifup eth0, and /etc/network/interfaces? that's too 1990s for me [02:06] graft, where are you looking at the memory usage? [02:06] telexicon: top [02:06] how do i become an ubuntu guru? [02:06] bazhang: I don't have too much experience setting up os's... When installing Hardy, it prompted me to repartition the hard drive so that space will be allocated to both windows and ubuntu... now when i tried to do it, it threw some unspecified error. [02:06] mojo: that being said, it sounds like you could make a change to your xorg.conf to fix that, have you edited it manually at all? [02:06] graft, if i look under system manager it shows 2.3MB for network manager [02:06] Alright you guys [02:06] seamus7, bazhang: Thanks! [02:06] ubuntu__, lmfao [02:06] this isn't dual monitor [02:06] graft, er system monitor [02:06] graft: i tried to load the 7.10 version of Kubuntu [02:06] sammy:: no it is stock, and very sparse [02:06] ubuntu__, practice [02:07] graft if you have a support question please ask, otherwise please go to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [02:07] im an idiot [02:07] milly1234: sorry, don't know why your nick got stuck in there. [02:07] help update manager no response when update from 710 to 804?? [02:07] can it be done? [02:07] Exodus, any idea man? [02:07] ikonia: helpp :) [02:07] here is my pastebin for usb mouse problems where the mouse only works for 3 seconds or so: http://pastebin.com/m18f296 [02:07] probably saw me having problems of a similer nature but only on one display [02:07] vi1985: could you please specify the error? it would be very helpful [02:07] I've upgraded to hardy today and now my iPod does not work with banshee, what packages do i need to install to fix this? [02:07] k[5\5]: the mirrors are very heavily loaded. try running synaptic package manager and choosing a new mirror to download from in the repositories configuration. [02:07] graft:had a large hang time. never did install. [02:07] vi1985 try defragging your windows drive first. If you have vista, use the vista disk management tool to shrink your ntfs partition [02:07] My updater gets stuck on setting new software channels. It always quits with a network error, but it my network is fine [02:07] how do i upgrade to hardy? [02:07] ikonia: so i have ubuntu installed on laptop and i have a 22" flat LCD hooked up to it.. when i boot ubuntu with it pluged in.. it shows bunch of nonsesne million different colors.. any ida? [02:07] ubuntu__, you can do it, the quickest way to start is to hang out here and read through the forums [02:07] idea*? [02:08] i feel naked and alone [02:08] JoshBP, the mirrors are overloaded wait a while [02:08] i've change the mirror to a fast edu net [02:08] anyone know [02:08] dabbill: try this xorg.conf on hardy heron: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64299/ [02:08] (i've been using ubuntu for a year and a half and i'm nowhere NEAR guru status) [02:08] how long..... [02:08] jon_high9000: try a different mirror? [02:08] bazhang, the only thing it lets me do is to either use the entire disc for linux, or create new partitions. Both options require format, which I'm very reluctant to do... [02:08] tomtommy if you're in 7.10, it will ask you if you want to upgrade [02:08] dabbill: remember to back up your xorg.conf [02:08] JoshBP: have you tried selecting a new mirror or are you using the default? [02:08] JoshBP, or you can use an alternate mirror [02:08] Exodus, aye :) [02:08] so i have ubuntu installed on laptop and i have a 22" flat LCD hooked up to it.. when i boot ubuntu with it pluged in.. it shows bunch of nonsesne million different colors.. any ida? [02:08] and tried many times [02:08] im downloading hardy now, going to format this 500 gigger and go crazy [02:08] JoshBP, til they aren't overloaded, that's how long :D [02:08] hard to say really [02:08] mojo: pastebin it somewhere, your xorg.conf - i'll take a look, no promises :P [02:08] vi1985: you may consider wubi or unetbootin if you are wary of using partitioning tools then [02:09] w00t :P [02:09] !ipod [02:09] 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 [02:09] is ubuntu repository slow today? [02:09] ed1t: yes, hardy was just released [02:09] does anyone know how to get external LCD working on ubuntu.. installed on a laptop [02:09] k[5\5]: try letting it auto-find the best mirror. i was skeptical, but it worked wonderfully [02:09] ed1t: is that a real question? [02:09] <_alf_> ubuntu__: i've used linux for 10 years. I use it every day at my job and at home and i'm not a guru [02:09] figured [02:09] ed1t try looking for a mirror near you [02:09] Exodus, did you edit my config? [02:09] k[5\5]: also, assume that the fastest mirrors are the ones that are overloaded. [02:09] well then im screwed! [02:09] there needs to be a drinking game, a shot when asked about the repos [02:09] for those who need a mirror: go to System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from other... > Select best server [02:09] i can open it in webbroswer in no time [02:09] Anyone know why I'm suddenly getting slow networking with xen on hardy? [02:09] anyhonee [02:09] could anyone tell me if i can change the behaviour of the gnome window selector (2.22.0) so that the wheel cycles through all windows not just the windows on the current desktop ??? [02:09] eternal_p, we'd all be dead [02:10] lol [02:10] servers are overloaded [02:10] <_alf_> ubuntu__: i'm here for help now.... no one knows everything [02:10] anyone using pidgin here? i can't resize my text input box ... anyone else got this problem? [02:10] we need to make an ubotu shortcut about mirrors today [02:10] but the updater just no response [02:10] everyone listen to tanath. [02:10] i meant us.archive.ubuntu.com thats prolly coz of new release [02:10] sammy, bah, no one listens to me :P [02:10] flowbot: no, sorry [02:10] i see the community is really cool though [02:10] dabbill: yes, i posted that correction [02:10] flowbot, #pidgin, that one's right in their topic [02:10] just for information on my non working usb mouse system, its a mac pro if that helps anyone [02:10] dabbill: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64299/ this should automate certain things, and auto-detect. [02:11] DBautell: is #pidgin on this server? [02:11] cool, i'm on Hardy now. What's next? [02:11] i need to learn how to install postgresql and create a database [02:11] can i use terminal to update, and obtain some info about the updating process [02:11] IntangibleLiquid: issues or just want to chat === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [02:11] join #matlab [02:11] k[5\5]: theres no fancy gui for text, but you can watch stuff scroll by :) [02:11] k[5\5]- sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:11] flowbot, I'm new to IRC, but it is on freenode, and I don't do anything special to get there from where I am [02:11] ubuntu__, you can install things in synaptic [02:11] why are the servers so slow lately? Is it because of the hardy release? [02:11] are the ubuntu servers slow for anyone else? [02:12] why cant i play any videos on hardy heron, totom, and mplayer [02:12] =\ [02:12] loufoque: yep [02:12] ubuntu__, and you can find guides on google [02:12] yeah i use terminal and sometimes synaptic [02:12] Is there a way to see which programs are reading/writing to the harddrive?? [02:12] sammy:: http://pastebin.com/m503d8f0e is my xorg.conf (stock hardy with fglrx) [02:12] jac0b: lol [02:12] loufoque: could be [02:12] graft: Thanks for the heads up. im glad it isnt my computer. i will try your suggestion tomorrow morning. do you think morning would be better to reinstall? [02:12] loufoque jac0b check the /topic [02:12] DBautell: yeah, is cool .... i'm there ;) [02:12] synaptic is frozen [02:12] bazhang: I made a life-threatening bet, re-structuring the entire partition table with Disk Test. Thanks god I'm still alive [02:12] ubuntu__, ok, well you can use aptitude or apt-get [02:12] i got the ubutun 7.10 bible, pretty cool [02:12] bazhang, that's the problem that the error was unspecified. I'll try running a partitioning tool in my XP, and see what comes of it. Thanks! [02:12] jac0b, loufoque: go to System > Admin > Software Sources > Download from other... > Select best server [02:12] Can someone help me get my iPod to work with the hardy version of banshee? [02:12] hi, I have a problem, I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 to a USB, it boots, but when I log in it just shows the brownish screen and nothing happens. Please help! [02:12] jon_high9000: hard to say... i bet this will last at least for the next few days [02:12] i click the update button on the manager panel [02:12] yup apt-get install or apt-cache search right? [02:12] can someone help me with an atheros card? [02:12] nickrud: i've had bad experience with local mirrors [02:12] servers ARE slow because everyone is trying to get their information... It's like stuffing down giant amounts of information down a series of tubes! [02:12] Well, I upgraded, that was easy [02:12] Exodus, rebooting to test [02:12] Arnos: give it a lot of time--->it will be very slow [02:12] sammy:: i am looking into trying aticonfig cmdline tool with --initial=dualhead and winging it from there if you don't have any better advice. [02:12] sammy: thanks [02:13] hmm, debconf? [02:13] I want to start a new channel '#fed_up_with_trying_to_get_my_nickname_to_work' [02:13] :'( [02:13] servers are soooo slooow [02:13] loufoque I've had the opposite (but I use just a couple universities) [02:13] anyone know a open source tool to split videos ? [02:13] :'( am waiting for hours [02:13] !debconf [02:13] debconf is a configuration management system. All packages that support debconf are configured when they are being installed. If you want to change a configuration option later, you can do so using dpkg-reconfigure [02:13] cannot reload my Add and Remove, too slow [02:13] bazhang: why will it be very slow? [02:13] rich_freecomm:: when you get one, be sure to register it so you can use nickserv to enforce it. there can be only one ;) [02:13] hiya [02:13] sudo apt-get dist upgrade did't work when crossing version [02:13] RodGo: if your downloading the cd, get it through bittorrent and save everyone some hassle [02:13] <_ZeuZ_> do I need to restart amarok to apply the themes? [02:13] how come all videos i try to play are in slow mo, and then eventually freeze up [02:13] graft: i understand. no problem. [02:13] iv just installed it [02:13] am downloading some packets trough synaptics [02:13] anyone have experience with running vent through wine? i've got most things working except I can only hear 1 voice at a time >.< [02:14] also, cannot disable the touchpad with function key, how to do this manually? [02:14] mojo: I have [02:14] mojo: that's always a good idea, especially after an upgrade. it's taken me 50 little steps to get my video where I want it, I dread the update :( [02:14] k[5\5] do-release-upgrade is the preferred command line technique [02:14] Arnos: from usb key? you may want to visit eeepc channel for more info on such meta-questions [02:14] I can't upgrade off of the cd [02:14] <_alf_> what does this mean: gimp-python: Depends: gimp (= 2.4.0~rc3-1ubuntu7) but it is not going to be installed [02:14] mojo: won't let me use the one I registered [02:14] and its taking hours :'( [02:14] It's locking up [02:14] hey will ubuntu install onto a raid now? [02:14] k[5\5]- You'll need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change every instance of 'gutsy' to 'hardy'. [02:14] anyone else have this problem? My wifi works, but after I reboot, it doesn't work. I'm thinking it's gotta be a permissions thing, I had the same problem in 7.10. I'm sure the fine people at Canonical didn't ship it with a Network-Manager that doesn't work with wifi cards, so can anyone recommend a fix (other than installing 3rd party apps like Wicd) [02:14] Hey does Hardy have Firefox 3 Beta installed by default? [02:14] Danikar: Yes [02:14] RodGo: go to the sources, choose other in sources, and click the button that says, choose best server, you'll be surprised how much faster it will go!!! I downloaded packages at 400KB/s during peek hours :P [02:15] Danikar: Yes... [02:15] addendum: it doesn't work until I log in as root and "change" the WPA key to what it already is [02:15] can someone help me install a soundcard? [02:15] i thought its supposed to be the full version of fox [02:15] mojo: you might end up needing to set some modelines. [02:15] MachinTrucChose: you might read the release notes.. they have something in there about wifi and network manager. [02:15] how i can install firefox 2 on ubuntu to use instead of the 3 [02:15] ? [02:15] ubuntu__: It ain't out yet [02:15] chang it manually ? but there already a button on the update manager [02:15] why once install phpmyadmin its not allowing me to connect via localhost/phpmyadmin [02:15] ok thank you! [02:15] iznuics: I had the same problem with 7.10, which I got around by installing Wicd. [02:15] mijac: sudo apt-get install firefox-2 [02:15] oh i thought it was going to be ready in time for 8.04 [02:15] mijac: through synaptic [02:15] thank you master [02:15] ? [02:15] Anyone know why the cdromupgrade is locking up? [02:15] don't you have to do sudo apt-get remove firefox-3 first though? [02:15] do someone has a toshiba sattelite ? [02:15] tomd123: ty, ill give it a try [02:16] <_ZeuZ_> mijac: I do [02:16] :( feel like a dumb here waiting for hours [02:16] ubuntu__: Nope, read somewhere it may be upgraded later once 3 is officially out, but i think they're playing it by ear [02:16] Exodus, still poped up with the low-graphics mode [02:16] ubuntu__: not needed [02:16] ok [02:16] i hate my toshiba satellite stolen if that counts [02:16] I bought it today [02:16] can i update with the ubuntu live cd? [02:16] whats up with firefox 3? it lags the system really bad [02:16] but for example [02:16] I can not activate the wifi [02:16] '/ctcp babyseoul xdcc send #2' [02:16] jason: no need alternate [02:16] whenever i log into ubuntu my panels and windows all glow a random colour. How do i disable my windows and panels from glowing? [02:16] at least I can not see wifi [02:16] RodGo:: go to System - Administration - Software sources, choose Download From "Other..." and click the "Select Best Server" button. It will speed test them all. Be sure to select your country in the list before hitting the button, so it only speed-tests those. [02:16] <_ZeuZ_> telexicon: not all systems, it runs smooth if you compiled it yourself [02:16] telexicon: it's a beta, it's not even an rc, so don't expect it to be perfect [02:16] you bought my stolen toshiba satellite? [02:16] ok how do i completely unisntall phpmyadmin besides apt-get remove phpmyadmin [02:16] lopin, someone said earlier that you need to run it with the full path: /mnt/media/upgradeubuntu , rather than ./upgradeubuntu [02:16] i just downloaded the iso [02:16] <_ZeuZ_> thing is the xmlrunner [02:16] ctcp babyseoul xdcc send #2 [02:17] Okay, thanks [02:17] sebastien: stop that [02:17] . [02:17] firefox 3 rocks pertty good over here [02:17] dabbill: ok, now there's another step [02:17] nownot: sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin [02:17] I thought Flash was supposed to work out-of-the-box on HH? [02:17] i jsut downloaded the iso andi have gustsy gibbon [02:17] _ZeuZ_: You mean XULRunner? [02:17] nownot: that should completely remove any files that you didn't create yourself. do you mean dependencies? [02:17] would the iso be quicker? [02:17] <_ZeuZ_> niadh, yah, sorry typo [02:17] tomd123, thats not an excuse, and i understand its beta.. but this is not just a little quirky issue, this is showstopper, making the whole system unusable, lag [02:17] sammy: yes [02:17] how do I perform the 3-D cube thing? [02:17] !local [02:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about local - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:17] can someone help me w/ a floppy-based install? booted from debian sarge floppies, now using debootstrap to get gutsy, and having problems. [02:17] even that the restricted drivers detect an atheros [02:17] i was using the betaversio nd it didnt ask me to upgrade [02:17] ug....at least THIS server knows my name.... [02:17] where is the connection log for ubuntu? i dont see anything that would have to do with my broadband dsl connection in /var/log ... ?? I am losing connection every 10 min or so and need to track down the reason. [02:17] h [02:17] dabbill: install the "nvidia-settings" package [02:17] <_ZeuZ_> gotta go, take care guys [02:18] telexicon: use firefox 2 / opera / epiphany if you don't like it, you have options you know [02:18] id understand if it was alpha 4, but its beta 5 === pj_og__ is now known as pj_og [02:18] how can I tell if If im using a beta or not?? [02:18] ok zeus [02:18] Exodus, i have it installed [02:18] uh [02:18] Hi, if sudo do-release-upgrade closed unexpectedly, what should I do to relaunch it ? [02:18] says beta [02:18] yea, that was the response i expected [02:18] dabbill: well, is your monitor adequetly identified? [02:18] telexicon: beta means beta not "works" [02:18] ok, well....I'm not impressed with IRC....It won't even let me use the name I registered yesterday [02:18] IntangibleLiquid: you need to install compiz advanced settings, then turn on cube and cube rotation [02:18] nownot: once you remove it, you can run apt-get autoremove. Kr0ntab suggested apt-get purge, I'm not sure if that does the same thing. === dny_ is now known as dny [02:19] holy crap @ crowd [02:19] telexicon: as I said, you have options [02:19] Exodus, nvidia-settings says i am not running the nvidia driver [02:19] dabbill: run nvidia settings as root with sudo, and remember to save to xorg with it [02:19] KyleK, beta means.. getting close to release candidates, trying to clean up the last few bugs [02:19] telexicon: even 3.0 final no really it works (TM) is still not stable ;) [02:19] aeon17x: always is on a new release day [02:19] ahh aeon17x is throwing crap at the crowd! [02:19] holy crap back, aeon17x [02:19] hola [02:19] rich_freecomm: what happens when you /nick [02:19] rich_freecomm, you're not using pidgin, are you? [02:19] geez my connection is slow [02:19] haven't gotten the release yet, will do later tonight :-) [02:19] another 3 hours before 8.04 [02:19] MachinTrucChose: you probably have a corrupt keyring file. Go into single user mode (sudo telinit 1), change to your home directory (a "su - " will do), change to .gnome2 and delete the keyrings directory. Reboot and try again. Allow network-manager to access the keyring always when asked. Don't login automatically to your account but login with your password. that'll open the keyring automatically. [02:19] goodl uck... [02:19] rich_freecomm: why not xchat? [02:19] hey, i have hardy and i just installed firefox 2, it wont allow me to add any extensions [02:20] Exodus, when i do sudo nvidia-settings it says " You do not appear to be useing the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file [02:20] dabbill: you sure you have Driver "nvidia" on the device @ xorg.conf? [02:20] !es > aeon17x [02:20] ubuntu__: its probabl not your connection, the servers are overwhelmed right now [02:20] rich_freecomm: someone else is probably using it, and freenode doesn't automagically boot people for using someone else's nick until they ask for it back. [02:20] ok need some help phpmyadmin is not cooperating [02:20] i think the only and safe way is to click the "update" button on the update manager [02:20] Exodus, i am useing the xorg.conf file you pastbin and said to use [02:20] no trust me my connection is crap [02:20] im getting 50-66kb [02:20] ok, if you say so. [02:20] vorbote: I always log in with a password. I'll do the rest of your recommendations. Thanks. [02:20] normally i get 70 [02:20] ;-) [02:20] oh yes the torent is much faster [02:20] but your probably right, a lot of people hitting them hard [02:21] iznuics: (on that server) rich_freecomm :Nickname is already in use. [02:21] dabbill: hmm, I think I found the error from your xorg.conf [02:21] quick question, the applications menu... is there any way to make the items in the menu vertically smaller? i like small menus... [02:21] dabbill: let me see. [02:21] is there a "replace" option in any of the terminal text editors, i cant find one in nano, does vi or emacs have one? I'm trying to replace a string with another string in 30 locations in a file [02:21] looks like its in /usr/share how do i access it from locahost? [02:21] ...now i 'm changing gutsy to hardy [02:21] !upgrade [02:21] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:21] Exodus, okay cool. [02:21] DBautell: I'm using X-chat right now...but I have pidgin loaded [02:21] manually [02:21] sammy: even after I registered it? [02:21] rich_freecomm if you have the nick registered, do /nicksrerv ghost nick password [02:21] is there a default laptop powersaver utility for chagning the frequency of the processor installed in ubuntu by default like there is in kde? [02:21] rich_freecomm, yeah, ok, pidgin sucks at IRC. try /ghost NAME pwd [02:21] rich_freecomm er, nickserv , a typo there [02:21] ubuntu__: I've got a good connection and only getting 80kbs .. normally on the mirrors I get in the hundreds.. it's just a busy day! [02:21] anybody know how to get wireless working in hardy with an Atheros AR242x? i have the drivers, but no connections show [02:22] rich_freecomm: it's a setting each irc network can choose for themselves. some of them do, some of them don't, even after you registered it. [02:22] welshdrago1: does ifconfig show three entries or two [02:22] telexicon: bug 215728 [02:22] rich_freecomm: what nick did you register? [02:22] Hi can someone help me understand Landscape? [02:22] crimsun, yeah im reading it [02:22] rich_freecomm: you can always ask for it back when you log in, which is what I've been doing for.. however many years now :) [02:22] anyway to change your processor performance levels on a laptop in gnome in ubuntu? [02:22] bazhang: 2 secs... [02:22] Does anyone know why my iPod might not work with banshee after upgrading to hardy, despite me having podsluth installed? [02:22] Does anyone know how long it should take to load 8.04 from USB? [02:22] well thanks IZNUICS makes me feel better. [02:23] *wave* [02:23] ubuntu__: :) [02:23] dabbill: no it's actually we constructed, run "lsmod | grep vidia" in a console, does anythin appear? [02:23] niadh: amarok works fine here; never tried banshee though [02:23] anyone know how to get dual displays working on hardy? [02:23] bazhang: 2 [02:23] bazhang: Not a great KDE fan, hence the banshee thing [02:23] Whtiger, [02:23] nickrud: well..now the account was killed...of course I assume that killed my OP for the channel as well [02:23] bazhang: i cant get any updates or new installs cuz the downloading stops at a certain file number! what should i do? [02:23] this is an unfortunate situation for the default browser for an LTS release to be in [02:23] anyone have experience with running vent through wine? i've got most things working except I can only hear 1 voice at a time >.< [02:23] welshdrago1: is that the one that uses madwifi [02:23] damn it, I keep getting a md5sum mismatch on wubi.exe, I get three identical copies of the file from major mirrors, yet the same mirrors MD5SUMS lists a different md5sum for just that file, all the *.isos are fine [02:23] hi, anyone know if i can run wine with "hotspot shield" or know a similar linux prog??????? [02:23] can i use the 8.04 CD to upgrade [02:24] ?? [02:24] shadfc: Yes [02:24] Whtiger, yt? [02:24] nice 504 k trandsfer :) [02:24] rich_freecomm doesn't kill the account, just the user of the nick. then you can /nick nick, and then /nickserv password [02:24] This is a tad silly, but how do I go about getting all 4 desktops (for my cube) to show? Atm, I only have 2 desktops, and the cube looks all flat, like a piece of paper. =p [02:24] telexicon: better than LTS being stuck with firefox 2 for a long time [02:24] hey... how cn I update my beta hardy? [02:24] kneeki: right click the windows that are already there [02:24] shadfc: just the alternate from what I've read [02:24] hmm, everytime i launch a new process, the CPU goes crazy and everything lags including basic mouse movement. what could possibly be the cause of this? [02:24] anyway to change your processor performance levels on a laptop in gnome in ubuntu? [02:24] ind1g0zzling: ..what? [02:24] niadh: kde apps run fine in gnome; gtkpod or rhythmbox should do well in gnome though if you are a purist [02:24] kneeki: turn on more virtual desktops probably [02:24] what are the best IRC clients for Linux? Pidgin is horrible, it's like the absolute bare minimum required to use IRC. [02:24] ok need some help phpmyadmin is not cooperating looks like its in /usr/share how do i access it from locahost? [02:24] KyleK, right, browser that doesnt work instead of old browser [02:24] fevel just start the upgrade-manager [02:24] what distribution of linux do corporations use for servers? [02:25] makes sense to me [02:25] Whtiger, wtf... goddamnit #googoog [02:25] oh? [02:25] kneeki: right-click on the workspaces applet and edit the preferences. [02:25] Exodus, no i dont see nvidia under lsmod [02:25] MachinTrucChose: I like xchat [02:25] synaptic is not working, how come i cant fetch any files???????????????????? [02:25] nownot go to localhost/phpmyadmin , you should see it [02:25] ubuntu__: redhat and those with 'certifications' because corporations like little sheets of paper [02:25] i am trying to dual boot and virtualize... basically i want to have windows vista and linux dual booted and then in linux be able to open windows in a VM or boot into Windows if i have to... [02:25] anyone know how to get dual displays working in hardy? [02:25] ahh [02:25] MachinTrucChose, xchat [02:25] Bazhang: Not a purest, i use K3b more than gnome burners, but banshee is prefered media player [02:25] telexicon: what is your problem anyways? I'm only havign issues with its autocompletion, brings up porn to the top all the time :( [02:25] bazhang: i didn't know madwifi supported hardy? [02:25] Ah ha! That was it =p [02:25] ubuntu__: red hat, suse, ubuntu (up and coming) [02:25] ind1g0zzling: why didn't you just pm me? [02:25] mgmz: it's probably slow, just keep trying or wait [02:25] I knew it was something horribly simple [02:25] hi, is there anyone who can help me get my maxtor external hard drive mounted and working on ububtu 7.10 - whicj ive just loaded on pc to replace windows, it worked perfectly fine elsewhere on widowqs [02:25] nickrud: yeah its not htere [02:25] j [02:25] kk [02:25] nickrud, It says the system is up to date, but firefox is still beta [02:25] MachinTrucChose- BitchX is nice, if you're a fan of the command line. [02:25] anyone know of a "find and replace" option in any of the terminal text editors, i cant find one in nano, does vi or emacs have one? I'm trying to replace a string with another string in 30 locations in a file [02:25] Whtiger, #googoog for explanation lol [02:25] mgmz: I had the same problem a few minutes ago [02:25] MachinTrucChose: I'm using irssi :) [02:25] stupid little pieces of paper [02:25] okay [02:25] KyleK, it eats up 70% CPU and thrashes the disk a ton, making my whole system unusably slow [02:25] nownot is the config in /etc/apache2/conf.d ? [02:25] irssi is my fave [02:25] If I had to use the alternate installer to install to USB can that make my desktop not load fully? [02:25] MachinTrucChose: irssi sets the bar for the terminal and x-chat for the graphical desktop IMO. [02:25] oh so they actually do use ubuntu? [02:25] again.. ?? quick question, the applications menu... is there any way to make the items in the menu vertically smaller? i like small menus... [02:25] hey, som one got a linux wiki to recomend? i have a howto on how to split movies with mplayer and made a script to make it easyer, and a howto take X screenshots of a movie, put it to gether on X colums on a picture (an some other functions) and made an enhacment for the vcs-script to do that. [02:26] telexicon: cool [02:26] nickrud, howdy, for password I use.. recover then release then identify... [02:26] fevel firefox is beta, till june or so [02:26] nickrud: -NickServ- [rich_freecomm] has been killed [02:26] --- rich_freecomm :Nickname is already in use. [02:26] comp: thanks, but no thanks. I'll go with DB's recommendation ;) [02:26] *slap to niggin* [02:26] Does anyone know why there are a bunch of update packages that I still can't download? [02:26] goat|work: vi does, dunno how to do it, also theres always using sed [02:26] Jack_Sparrow you know more than I do, rich_freecomm talk to Jack_Sparrow [02:26] <_alf_> telexicon: how much ram do you have total? [02:26] !wow I like this place! [02:26] ubuntu__: starting to .. trying to get sun certification or something like that. [02:26] any good GUI-based Irc clients? [02:26] anyway to change your processor performance levels on a laptop in gnome in ubuntu? [02:26] ind1g0zzling: no? [02:26] _alf_, its not swapping [02:26] everytime i launch a new process, the CPU goes crazy and everything lags including basic mouse movement. what could possibly be the cause of this? [02:26] I am having trouble using the live cd iso. When I boot I get (initramfs) blinking cursor. Tried to burns from two different mirrors. No luck. Should I try an upgrade from alternate cd instead. [02:26] i see [02:26] _alf_, it does it on every page, even if i just leave it on google after a while it starts up [02:26] nickrud: yes there is a file named that [02:26] jordanjay21: XChat is good enough [02:26] Whtiger, wait... you know who this is right? This is... Josh, amirite [02:26] dabbill: that means your nvidia driver isn't loading [02:26] <_alf_> telexicon: it is strange behavior [02:27] hey guys .. anyone else installing Ubuntu 8.04 right now ? :) [02:27] what's the deal with the missing dmraid package on the mirrors? [02:27] what did ubuntu use for a browser before firefox? [02:27] jedimasterk: isn't there a 'verify this cd' option on the boot splash of the cd? that should be an easier way to verfity your cd. and, yes, you apparently *have* to upgrade from the alternate cd [02:27] <_alf_> telexicon: did you do a fresh install? [02:27] nownot and when you point the browser at http://localhost/phpmyadmin you don't see it? [02:27] niadh: I didn't mean good "enough" :P [02:27] no more #ubuntu+1 :( [02:27] dabbill: reinstall your nvidia-glx-new package [02:27] samalex: probably half the room or more.. [02:27] ind1g0zzling: yes, why are you bugging me in here instead of.. you know.. pm [02:27] samalex- I'm apt-getting the dist-upgrade right now. [02:27] Whtiger, God damnit. I've been sending PMs to you for the past three hours only to realize that unregistered users can't send PMs because I wasn't checking the server messages LOL [02:27] I did verify it [02:27] _alf_, people are noting that firefox is clobbering urlclassifier.sqlite [02:27] niadh: I meant "good" as in brilliant. [02:27] haha [02:27] jedimasterk: downloaded the same iso twice? thats what checking the md5sum is for ;) [02:27] jedimasterk: and yea alternate cd sometimes help [02:27] jordanjay21: Pidgin does the job too, but complicated, versus xchat [02:27] Whtiger, thought you were AFK [02:27] hahaha [02:27] I'm installing 8.04 server, and I guess TONS of folks are running updates as hitting the apt-get mirror during install took forever. [02:27] rich_freecomm, /nickserv help look at recover then release before you try to re-identify.. make sure you dont have another instance of your chat client open on another side of the cube etc.. [02:27] recent xchats suck i thought [02:27] can anyone tell me how to view the driver thats being used for my wireless card? [02:27] ,x [02:28] nickrud: that is correct [02:28] Whats different about the alternate CD? [02:28] what do i need to install to use gdm themes off gnome look im on hardy gnome. [02:28] samalex- Yeah, that's usually what happens on Ubuntu Day. [02:28] can anyone tell me how to view the drive thats being used for my wireless card? [02:28] nownot try restarting apache [02:28] ind1g0zzling: sounds like user error. [02:28] Arnos: Command line install i think [02:28] !alternative | Arnos [02:28] Arnos: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [02:28] Whtiger, indeed. [02:28] _alf_, no, ive been running the beta.. and just updating, but two days ago i purged firefox-3.0, xulrunner, flash, and reinstalled them.. it still does this even with a new profile and no add-ons or flash [02:28] Exodus, okay removed it and reinstalled, gonna reboot [02:28] Whtiger, is Matt on? [02:28] c0mp13371331337_: I had just installed 7.10 on my home server 2 days ago (new install), so went ahead and started from scratch. [02:28] Checked modsum and burned two different iso's everything was fine [02:28] ind1g0zzling: ..pm me =\ this really isn't the place. [02:28] would useing the alternate CD be likly to help my problem of 8.04 not loading from USB? [02:28] <_alf_> telexicon: then you've checked everything i could possibly blame [02:29] anyway to change your processor performance levels on a laptop in gnome in ubuntu? [02:29] so to those that use linux daily whats your take on this hardy 8.04? [02:29] hi, happy ubuntu upgrade day everyone :D [02:29] Arnos: boot from usb? [02:29] I have trackerd essentially disabled, but everytime i launch a new process, the CPU goes crazy and everything lags including basic mouse movement. what could possibly be the cause of this? does anyone else experience this issue? i'm going to buy a system with a quad-core CPU eventually for this. [02:29] Why are there so many upgrade packages that I can't install? [02:29] Never had problems with Live CD's in the past [02:29] ubuntu__: that'd be better question for #ubuntu-offtopic [02:29] Yes, you can put Ubuntu on a USB [02:29] ubuntu__, discussion in #Ubuntu-offtopic thanks.. this is the support room [02:29] Arnos: you wish to install from USB? [02:29] nickrud: didnt work [02:29] ubuntu__: I use Ubuntu Server daily, and it's nice ... butyou're probably looking for Desktop users :) [02:29] ubuntu__, i havent had a chance to use it yet. [02:29] I feel the new upgrade is great [02:29] no, I installed to USB [02:29] Hi, I have a question about switiching to Ubuntu. I'm a long time Windows user, so am hesitant about changing my OS. I'd like to download Ubuntu and try it out, but my only current machine is my laptop, running Vista. Is there any way for me to install Ubuntu, try it, and, if I don't like it, go back to my original OS without losing anything? [02:29] just attempted to start the install... it hangs after making a selection from the install menu right after startup.... is this a hardware issue? supposedly Hardy heron has already run smooth on other's systems identical to mine... maybe the CD is bad? no matter which option is chosen from the menu it's as if the CD drive stops working(which I know works fine otherwise) and then nothing happens and also I can't make another sele [02:29] from the CD [02:29] ubuntu__: if it's anything like the last LTS version (Dapper Drake 6.06) it'll be just fine.. [02:29] nownot a sec while I check my install [02:29] it seems to work faster on my laptop [02:29] is bad if the install of ubuntu server is stuck at 40% (scanning mirror) ? [02:29] samalex- Yeah, I'm TRYING the dist-upgrade method. It's never worked for me in the past, not once, but I figure it's got to one of these times.... ;-) [02:29] * Mimi asks: Guys does "DISPLAY=: 0 to 7" mean get gettys? [02:29] Wow! Using a different mirror is fast [02:30] isdepopecath: try wubi, it's on the Ubuntu 8.04 live disc [02:30] Arnos: probably the alt cd will not do much better. [02:30] c0mp13371331337_: I've done it successfully on Server, but tried and failed once on Desktop. That was a few versions ago though./ [02:30] Jack_Sparrow: on this server my name is ok...but not on FreeNode [02:30] wow i got more then i bargined for :( [02:30] now I am trying to boot from just the USB. I can login but then it just shows the background and nevers gets to the desktop [02:30] the day people start recommending wubi is the day I... [02:30] ubuntu__: So far I like it now that it has been stable for the last week or so. A few problems to sort out here and there mostly due to my config. [02:30] wait, nvm [02:30] <[T]-Rex> is it possible to put my ubuntu on my uSB drive and use it at a friends house? [02:30] bummer [02:30] isdepopecath: yes wubi or unetbootin [02:30] rich_freecomm, should work the same there. [02:30] Arnos: how big is your USB? > 4gb? [02:30] For me, I guess I'm gunshy from the MS world with OS upgrades... I'd rather do a clean insta..

I wanted to deploy Gutsy on my school's library PC's for web surfing. There are three. When I pop in the cd and boot from it and select 'install' at the main menu, it gives an error and comes to a command prompt style interface with busybox written on top. Any idea what's wrong? [02:31] that should have made a swap... shouldn't it have? [02:31] why is floodbot flooding the channel? :> [02:31] rich_freecomm, Im sure you will work it out.. but it really isnt a support issue for here [02:31] has anyone encountered this error after updating?

[02:34] nownot it's a link to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf , so ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf [02:34] so I have to term it up to get everything back up [02:34] I have the hard drives unplugged [02:34] buti'm installing it on a Dell system. [02:34] :) [02:34] Okay, I wanna make a CD that I can take to school, and put it in the CD drive, And boot to CD, and it loads ubuntu, instead of installing it. [02:34] JoshBP, the alternate cd or the dvd , just pop it in and you will be asked if you want to upgrade, when asked if you want to check for pacakges online say no [02:34] How do I go about doing that? [02:34] Arnos: cool. that is the way I do it.

[02:35] Gman99999 what feature? [02:35] Pelo- when does it ask me if i want to update? [02:35] samalex: Is there a download link for bittorrent files on ubuntu.com? [02:35] K [02:35] Gman99999, i dont think that was ever enabled by default in any version [02:35] dabbill: anyway, try loading it manually with "sudo modprobe nvidia", see if it loaded with "lsmod | grep nvidia" and then restart X with "ctrl alt backspace" you don't have to reboot. [02:35] hi, is there anyone who can help me get my maxtor external hard drive mounted and working on ububtu 7.10 - which ive just loaded on pc to replace windows, it worked perfectly fine elsewhere on widows - its formAtted ntsf [02:35] the hard drive spin down one that was all over the news [02:35] can anyone assist? I'm sure my question has been long overlooked simply due to the number of visitors talking...... [02:35] <]grimm[> Is there a way to assign mount points to drives (outside of using fstab)? I was able to set it under properties in Gutsy, but that seems to have changed with the latest version of Gnome and policykit. On a related note, is there a way to automount internal drives without editing fstab manually? [02:35] iznuics: type /topic [02:35] Gman99999, yeah.. about that..

They are handy for showing off ubuntu but at this time not much more then that. Download the alternate install iso, check the md5, burn it then do a disk check, that should solve your problem [02:36] funny ubotu [02:36] just attempted to start the install... it hangs after making a selection from the install menu right after startup.... is this a hardware issue? supposedly Hardy heron has already run smooth on other's systems identical to mine... maybe the CD is bad? no matter which option is chosen from the menu it's as if the CD drive stops working(which I know works fine otherwise) and then nothing happens and also I can't make another sele [02:36] dabbill: depending on what the Xorg log says about why nvidia isn't loading and it's falling back on vesa, I got no idea =b [02:36] !hardy [02:36] Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [02:36] ]grimm[ have you tried the 'mount' applet listed in the panel add to list [02:36] if i update my computer to hardy, will it erase my saved files?

[02:44] Millertime_018: today is release day [02:44] i opened the update-manager and checked for updated and there were none, so i proceeded to upgrade to hardy, and while the upgrade was starting, update-manager said there were 710 updates available.

I have to stick with Pidgin for now. :-/ [03:05] As in, if I physically hit the open button on the drive, it won't do a thing. [03:05] favoritefood0, that would make it open , the -f is to force [03:05] c0mp13371331337_, i was hoping I didn't have to do it manually, i wanted to see if it really worked out of the box [03:05] What is a swap drive? [03:05] harsha, RAM extension on your hdd [03:06] the standard mount point for dvd drives is /mount/dvd right? [03:06] favoritefood0, is it unmounted from your desktop ? [03:06] Pelo: I couldn't say it better myself. Thumbs up! [03:06] sammy: sounds silly...I want to log into the server and be in many channels under the same name...... [03:06] On my desktop I see "Blank CD" [03:06] Pelo: you know what the user peak was for #ubuntu today? [03:06] and I know the drive is empty.

[03:07] Well, I had used a Cd to update Kubuntu 8.04, every was great untill display showed "configurating chillispot (1.0-8) ...", then it stopped, and I shutdown, then now I cannot do nothing [03:07] Ubuntong: i installed everything, but when i go to http://localhost/wordpress, it tries to download a phtml file [03:07] c0mp13371331337_, yep... i know, but i just want to see it prompt me for an upgrade, i just wanted to see if it worked... btw, what's the best way to upgrade? [03:07] KyleK, how do I switch the mirros [03:07] kubuntu 8.04 out already ? [03:07] c0mp13371331337_, should I use bittorrent to download the release?? and then mount it via loopback? [03:07] juano__: yes [03:07] Pelo: ok, I was asked to create a swap drive while installation of Ubuntu, is it required only while installation or that space will be used even after installation? [03:07] sorry for repeating but my update-manager won't response after i press the upgrade button, anybody knows why? [03:07] professor_: its under settings [03:07] Odd-rationale: thanks :) [03:07] c0mp13371331337_, would that be best? (in terms of not using ubuntu server's bandwidths) [03:07] like Settings -> Software Sources [03:08] favoritefood0, take a paperclip, unbend it , look on the cd drive face, just below the try , little pin point hole, sick the papeclip in it and puch [03:08] I did that. [03:08] That's how I know it's empty. [03:08] Hey guys, I'm trying to install 7.10 on a school PC but it ends up being at the terminal sort of prompt and it says 'busybox' at the top. I tried 7.04 and it works sweet. Any suggestions? [03:08] KyleK, Im sorry Im a noob , how do I do [03:08] If I put in a disk, it doesn't spin up. [03:08] navreet- Bittorrent would probably be the fastest at this point, as the Ubuntu servers/mirrors are all bogged down at the moment. Which may be why it doesn't prompt you to upgrade right away. They may give a few days for all the manual-upgraders to get it out of their system before rolling out the option to upgrade to the general public. [03:08] harsha, it's used after , make it about 2xram max 2 gig [03:08] Skuller, press ctrl+alt+f4 [03:08] Skuller when you boot, do f6 (?) and try some of the boot options [03:08] c0mp13371331337_, got it [03:08] Skuller: whats the hardware for that pc ? [03:09] 8.04 is nice [03:09] professor_: System -> Admin -> Softwar Sources [03:09] Ok I'll try that right now [03:09] Hey, I'm having some issues replacing the gnome-main-menu image in Hardy. I've tried the gconf-editor method and directly replacing the file. After both times I've reloaded gnome-panel with no success. [03:09] ah ha [03:09] favoritefood0, might be a bad drive , might be a problem with the strap, might be badly pluged in , turn off the comp, open the box, check the connections make sure the power cabloe and the data strap are not damaged [03:09] apparently the alternate install CD no longer works for network boot [03:09] and in the middle where it says like USA click that and choose a different mirror, kernel.org is what im using atm [03:09] so i have to manually get the alt install initrd [03:09] Pelo, it works perfectly in Bios. [03:09] Is this a Hardy bug or am I doing something wrong? [03:10] It worked perfectly 15 mins ago in Feisty. [03:10] unzip -a on a .exe in ubuntu hardy... fails... how do i fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:10] It's DEFINITELY something in Hardy. [03:10] juano__: its a p4 3.ghz, 1gb RAM, PC, custom complied [03:10] wow this is bad. i just installed xp on my old machine (for using photoshop and other windows based apps i need) and it has no generic driver for my NIC :| [03:10] Pelo: I have 1 GB of ram that means I have to allote 2 GB for swap drive, am I correct? [03:10] Hello [03:10] favoritefood0, you can open/close your cd/dvd ddrive from the bios ? that' sa new one to me [03:10] Update Manager keeps hanging! [03:10] p0w3r0n3: sudo apt-get install unzip [03:10] Actually, manually selecting a mirror close to home is working nicely... [03:10] harsha, yes [03:10] erat123: I'm no expert but make sure PHP is installed correctly. maybe install myphpadmin so you can make sure it's working. A kind of shortcut is to install egroupware since it's requirements are PHP, Apache2, Mysql. So you will get everything installed correctly. [03:10] How do I had my internal hard drive to my desktop? [03:10] Go to software sources, and select a mirror that's closer to you [03:10] *add [03:10] Pelo, as the computer is going through BIOS, I can hit the open/close button and it will open or close the drive. [03:10] Skuller: hmm ok, was thinking maybe you forgot to check if it was x64 architecture, cause in that case you need to download the x64 cd [03:10] ahhh [03:10] woddf2, it's release day the servers are under heavy loads, get the torrent for the alternate install cd and upgrade from that [03:10] Pelo: Thanks for the help. [03:11] Pelo, the drive also worked perfectly 15 mins ago in Feisty. [03:11] Stronganoff, its already installed? [03:11] Stronganoff, any other ideas? [03:11] By the way the problem I mentioned arises when trying to boot off the live version of the OS [03:11] Stroganoff, any other ideas? [03:11] Pelo: I couldn't get that to work, but switching to a local server helped TREMENDOUSLY! [03:11] Stroganoff, already installed [03:11] favoritefood0, I don't have an answer for you , report the bug to launcpad [03:11] Ubuntong: i'll give that a try and see where it goes. i went to their site, and it looks cool. i've just never heard of it. sorry i cant really help you with your problem though. [03:11] Pelo, Okay. [03:11] Pelo, can you perform a standard upgrade from the alternate cd? [03:11] Shadow_X [03:11] Shadow_X: yes [03:11] Shadow_X, To Upgrade from the CD/ISO, you'll need the alternate ISO or the DVD: run cdromupgrade from the root of the CD/ISO/DVD. If you don't want to/can't burn a disc, you can 'mount -o loop nameofiso /path/to/mount/' [03:11] hey can I upgrade from feisty to hardy? [03:12] favoritefood0 you should do tail -f /var/log/syslog , try inserting a disk, and including the output in your report [03:12] anyone know anything about a DVD iso for ubuntu (of course the 8.04 edition) [03:12] Oh, pelo, get this, Sysinfo detects the drive just fine. [03:12] Odd-rationale: i'm off to try 8.04 now :P:) [03:12] Shadow_X, yes, alt cd or dvd, but not from the live cd [03:12] erat123: Thanks and good luck with wordpress. [03:12] MachinTrucChose_, [03:12] Pelo Chaning to a local server helped... [03:12] favoritefood0, I get the issue I just donT' have a fix for you [03:12] sorry, just testing [03:12] KyleK, and then what [03:12] yea i know not from livecd, but its been forever since i used the alt. thanks :) [03:12] hi, how many people has been able to upgrade to hardy here? [03:12] in particular, where to get the DVD iso? [03:12] I can't use the alt cd to upgrade... [03:12] does anyone know how to get into text only mode in hardy heron? [03:12] It locks... [03:12] lopin, helped with what ? [03:12] MachinTrucChose_: this text should be red [03:12] !torrents [03:12] Hardy can be torrented from http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [03:12] juano__: go for it. I'm seeding all the alternative cd's :) [03:12] i upgraded 3 days ago [03:12] nickrud, what exactly do you mean? I insert a disk and the drive does nothing. I have to open the drive manually, close it manually. [03:13] Odd-rationale: good job :) [03:13] professor_: after you select a difffernt mirror? close it [03:13] hardyone: thank you [03:13] blankhead, ctrl+alt+f1 ? [03:13] KyleK: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [03:13] I finally could download updates by going from us.ubuntu.com to a local server, hosted at WVU [03:13] juano__: I am also seeding all the iso's [03:13] Trying to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy, but update-manager hangs (Beryl-greys out) on "Preparing to upgrade" and doesn't do anything. Are the repos overloaded or do I have a problem? [03:13] If you're on 8.04 RC1, will "update manager" be good enough for the upgrade? [03:13] it'll apt-get update automatiicaly [03:13] p0w3r0n3 maybe the EXE isnt ZIP compressed. try xarchiver [03:13] X-chat is the nicest client so far...LostIRC has no features, neither does Xchat-Gnome. Konversation's pretty cool too, but I guess everyone was right to recommend X-chat. [03:13] Thanks DBautell [03:13] lopin: I've been trying to tell people once I changed my mirror everything went quickly, but I guess there is something to wanting more iso discs out there :) [03:13] KyleK, no where do I find the mirror [03:13] favoritefood0 ooohh, sounds hardware. The disk tray action should have nothing to do with the os [03:13] * Pelo is just seeding the dvd , he can only manage 76 kps out [03:13] Sammy ^.^ [03:13] moon2js: same here [03:13] moon2js, the repo's are being raped [03:13] hurray for heron! [03:13] or, thanks ubotu lol [03:14] HardyOne: Odd-rationale keep it up, cyou in a while [03:14] nickrud, the thing is is that it worked in feisty a few minutes ago, works in BIOS, it's even detected. [03:14] shane2peru, I try [03:14] need apt-bittorrent [03:14] so once the repos are recover, it will work? [03:14] MachinTrucChose_: irssi [03:14] What does this mean for when a get a error with this: SET_MODULE_OWNER [03:14] I have two computer seeding [03:14] I can go into my feisty live CD, and I'll come talk on IRC lol [03:14] sammy: thanks, not a fan of console clients :P [03:14] favoritefood0 do you dual boot? Will it boot the hardy cd? [03:14] professor_: download from: its a dropdown, click around in there :) [03:14] how can i get vmware-server to show up in the add/remove applications box? [03:14] okaratas, I'm out again, later folks [03:14] another question. do distro upgrades fail often? (I upgraded an old ubuntu server to 7.10, and it failed to reboot properly. i was a n00b then so reinstalled lol) [03:14] cya [03:14] late Pelo [03:14] Wow the servers have calmed down thank god [03:14] nickrud; I just upgraded from feisty. [03:14] MachinTrucChose_: then try pidgin/gajim/kopete/etc with an irc plugin or a jabber server with an irc gateway. [03:15] how can i get vmware-server to show up in the add/remove box? [03:15] DBautell, hmm, seems as that there is a traffic jam at that site. [03:15] favoritefood0 I know, but we're talking about current troubleshooting info [03:15] yago: after you got that message, you were able to shutdown normally with no errors? And now what exactly happens? What do you mean by can't do anything? [03:15] Can I do a dist-upgrade but have it access the repos from a CD? [03:15] MachinTrucChose_: pidgin and gajim actually both do really well with irc transports on jabber servers. so does psi [03:15] Millertime_018, Just remove it via synaptic. [03:15] Millertime_018, Sys>Admin>Synaptic. [03:15] damn [03:15] sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Apr 25 13:04:51 2008 [03:15] Pidgin is the first one I tried. It's terrible. Maybe for a person who's never going to use IRC these multi-purpose clients are good enough, but not for me [03:15] nickrud, I only use ubuntu. [03:15] !language | KyleK [03:15] KyleK: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:15] !aptcd | moon2js [03:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about aptcd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:15] okaratas, howabout ftp://lug.bu.edu/pub/distro/ubuntu/ [03:15] moon2js from an alternate cd, yes [03:15] i guess im screwed for using 7.04 [03:15] nickrud; I only had feisty installed. [03:15] how can i fix that: sudo: timestamp too far in the future: [03:15] MachinTrucChose_, Use XChat for IRC. [03:15] How can i update my Java? [03:15] durn autocomlete [03:15] damo22, sudo -k [03:15] ffm_: damn is disney friendly :p [03:15] theses downloads take forever [03:16] !modules [03:16] To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubotu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubotu blacklist [03:16] irssi! :D [03:16] MachinTrucChose_: I think you'll find there isn't much going on in the way of irc client development, I'd assume the most would be going on in those multi-purpose clients. also, gajim is a jabber only client ;) [03:16] favoritefood0 so, try booting a cd. See if you get different action at that level. [03:16] ffm: that's what I'm using now. I tried like 4-5 clients prior to deciding on X-chat. [03:16] I'll be right back. [03:16] Oh [03:16] Shadow_X: server upgrades should never break, except in special situations which you should know about before. [03:16] MachinTrucChose_ I'm on IRC via Pidgin ... works nicely [03:16] where is the best torrent site for 8.04 alternate-amd64 cd [03:16] alt cd. I have the iso and can burn. can I just insert and it will do, or do I need to some how point update-manager to the disc? [03:16] binarybandit, for when you're on the road, yeah. [03:16] ffm_: !calmdown > ffm_ :) [03:16] anyone know where I can find a good review of the new ubuntu release [03:16] How do I remove those shadows/glow from ubuntu windows? [03:16] i should install gnash, swfdec or adobe? [03:16] ffm_: it was capital K thanks [03:16] moon2js the hardy cd will ask if you want to upgrade when you insert it [03:16] bmoll8, It works well, much better than the prior one. [03:16] basically an IRC client needs to have a decent interface (with a list of users! can't believe some didn't have that), syntax highlighting, DCC sends, CTCP suites, aliases...it's very minimal stuff that was already in mIRC 10 years ago [03:17] whats the difference between nvidia and nvidia_new ? [03:17] what would cause ubuntu server install to get stuck scanning mirror stage? [03:17] moon2js the alternate cd, remember [03:17] nickrud: but it has to be the alt, not the reg? [03:17] damo22, What? [03:17] ianliu_88: try disabling various compiz plugins in Advanced Desktop Effects [03:17] moon2js yes [03:17] MachinTrucChose_: which is why x-chat is your client of choice, it was around 10 years ago, too, iirc. [03:17] damo22, Oh. [03:17] ffm_: it was capital K .. sudo -K [03:17] black_13 probably server overload [03:17] nickrud: cool, thanks! [03:17] I may upgrade tomorrow. [03:17] hey all [03:17] Kl4m, i think it was due to ignorance about linux in general. ive learned alot more lately. i used to be daunted by the thought of linux, but now, im comfortable with is. almost as comfy as i am on windows (which i have spent my whole life on, sadly) [03:17] i'm having trouble with the 2.6.24 kernel [03:17] I'm also a n00b with ubuntu [03:17] ffm_, not just for the road :( [03:17] I try booting off a 7.10 live desktop CD but after the orange bar going back and forth it just leaves me at a command prompt kind of place with a 'busybox' title at the top. This does not happen with a 7.04 CD on the same PC. Any suggestions? I tried ctrl-alt-F4 with no luck and neither with F6 [03:17] what advantage is there having the DVD? More packages, is it the alternate CD and the DesktopCD install wrapped into one? [03:18] anyonek know the quickest route I should go to get the 2.6.25 kernel on ubuntu? [03:18] for 64bit system [03:18] shane2peru, If you have a fast internet connection, the DVD offers little adcantage. [03:18] Daedius_ the only way is compiling it yourself [03:18] bmoll8: http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=682 is a "review" but don't go there if you want a critic [03:18] Skuller, do you have the 8.04 CD??? Hardy, it is just out [03:18] Daedius_, Don't? [03:18] !kernel | Daedius_ [03:18] Daedius_: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [03:18] ffm_, so there are more packages? [03:18] shane2peru, Yes. [03:18] isso é um teste [03:18] leap: Get the torrent file pretty much anywhere, you'll get connected to the same torrent [03:18] Hi guys! any one using vpnc here? [03:18] hmmm [03:18] Ubuntu is all i am running now this morning i also had windows *Laughs at Micro$oft [03:19] shane2peru, But all of them are avalible via the repos. [03:19] ffm_, for like if I wanted to install on other computers that don't have fast internet? [03:19] ffm_, right [03:19] shane2peru, Yeah, for that. [03:19] shane2peru: No, I don't at the moment and I don't have the connection speed to download it quickly either, have to do with 7.10 or 7.04 (this one works) [03:19] daedius: I heard the performance difference is negligible for a desktop user with 64-bit. People on forums seemed to recommend not bothering for now and sticking with 32-bit [03:19] i just fornated a partition, but fdisk still displays the wring filesystem type, does it need a reboot to recognize that? [03:19] ffound one no seeders [03:19] WeeJa1: I used to [03:19] hi, is there anyone who can help me get my maxtor external hard drive mounted and working on ububtu 7.10 - which ive just loaded on pc to replace windows, it worked perfectly fine elsewhere on widows, I think I need to run some checks as dont know why it wont mount [03:19] shane2peru, See also "apt on cd" [03:19] can you guys think of a way I can test the usability of my usb mouse outside of X11? [03:19] hey when i try to install under the terminal. I have a problem.... When it ask for the admin password in the terminal, it wont let me type anything.? any ideas.. [03:19] Kl4m: did you use it with a secure token or pre-shared key? [03:19] I don't know if the problem is my kernel or X11 itself [03:19] MachinTrucChose_ I ran 64bit in feisty, but switched back to 32 for hardy for that very reason [03:19] leap: get the official torrent from ubuntu.com [03:19] Daedius_, Why would you want to use it out side of X? [03:19] Daedius_, Not off hand. [03:20] Daedius_ gpm might do the trick [03:20] SKuhn, hmm, did you order a CD for shipit? What country are you in? There is probably a loco group close [03:20] WeeJa1: PSK. [03:20] I can't get the Network Manager + vpnc interface to promt me for a secure token input... [03:20] My usb mouse isn't working on 8.04 [03:20] Rycher, Install what? [03:20] nickrud, is there a way choose a different server? [03:20] Rycher: you type and dont see the characters? [03:20] shane2peru: mouseon console is handy for cut & paste [03:20] Rycher: if you're referring to the fact that the cursor doesn't move in the terminal, that's normal. i believe it's a security feature, so that no one can tell how long your password is [03:20] Kl4m: I guess its time to read :-) [03:20] I can't get cdromupgrade to work. [03:20] WeeJa1, You mean for your password? [03:20] yea [03:20] it wont let me type anything [03:20] black_13 system->admin->software sources, on the dropdown button on the first tab, choose other [03:20] Rycher: type in the password and hit enter [03:20] oops, not to shane2peru , pesky accidental tabs [03:20] dosnt work [03:20] SKuller, hmm, did you order a CD for shipit? What country are you in? There is probably a loco group close [03:20] WeeJa1: I didn't use network-manager, I connected to my campus wireless and started vpnc in a console [03:20] ffm_: I imported my Cisco vpn client config but it does ot promt me for secure token [03:21] sorry SKuhn wrong person [03:21] thanks plik [03:21] well that tears it. releases.ubuntu.com's copy of wubu.exe has the same md5sum as the rest I've tried [03:21] nickrud i didnt see that on the server install [03:21] Kl4m: ill be happy with console [03:21] shane2peru: Yes I did [03:21] WeeJa1, Ah. Can't help then. [03:21] !cdromupgrade [03:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about cdromupgrade - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:21] Hi all! anyone upgraded a 6.06 server to 8.04 yet? Did it work? :) [03:21] dbristow, What's the issue? [03:21] Rycher: what kind of an error are you getting? [03:21] ffm_, apt on cd? [03:21] where would I go if I wanted nicer text fonts than the ones included in Ubuntu? Are all of the Windows one proprietary Microsoft stuff or something (Arial, Courier New, Terminal, Verdana, etc)? [03:21] Why is there no documentation about the server death? [03:21] ISOupgrade [03:21] can't find anything using synaptic [03:21] the repos must realy be hit hard , i cant refresh my apt list :) [03:21] ffm_: ill figure it out....acording to vpnc site, that support was added with 0.3 release [03:21] doh [03:21] how to install flash player for mozilla [03:21] su: Authentication failure. Sorry. [03:21] ubuntu comes with 0.51 [03:21] ffm_: I can't get a copy of wubi.exe that verifies via the MD5SUMS files [03:21] To Upgrade from the CD/ISO, you'll need the alternate ISO or the DVD: run cdromupgrade from the root of the CD/ISO/DVD. If you don't want to/can't burn a disc, you can 'mount -o loop nameofiso /path/to/mount/' [03:21] MachinTrucChose_: mstcorefonts I believe is the name [03:21] lopin, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [03:21] eklof: It is a supported upgrade path But I don't know anyone who did it actually [03:21] MachinTrucChose_: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [03:21] ffm_, that could be very handy, where do I find out about it? Wouldn't apt on DVD be more efficient. :) [03:21] I'm wanting to go from 7.04 but I think I might wait a day. anyone done it without major issues? [03:22] anyone finding FF3 beta 5 just too buggy at the moment? have many of you downgraded to FF2? or gone elsewhere? [03:22] shane2peru, Same thing. [03:22] manish: open synaptic and search for "flash". [03:22] !fonts | MachinTrucChose_ [03:22] is this final version the same as the release candidate of 2 days earlier? [03:22] MachinTrucChose_: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [03:22] black_13 ah, server :) . You need to go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors , pick one and edit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:22] oops I'm not supposed to poll [03:22] thank you guys [03:22] Kl4m: I need some test-users before me :) [03:22] twinkie_addict: changing to a closer server will let you get your apt get working, but don't try to upgrade [03:22] I'm doubting this, but is there anyway to run visual studio on linux? I _really_ like the intellisense features and project management of it, so I either want visual studio in linux or something similar with intellisense (one that learns from your code, not just built in functions) [03:22] lopin, there's nothing to document, so many users trying to download 700+ Mb from a few servers is basically a DDOS against the servers...unintentional, but there you go :) [03:22] all the copies I have have the same, different, md5sum, from funet, mirrors.kernel.org, everywhere [03:22] ffm_, where do I find out more info about the DVD, something to read on it? [03:22] vicmarconi: apparently the last changes were on 22nd [03:22] Rycher: that's odd. i don't really know what's wrong. sorry [03:22] I think the MD5SUMS file has got to be wrong [03:22] how do you do during the install process [03:22] underdog5004: I definitely know that, I'm a comp sci major... [03:22] Seven_Six_Two it won't hurt to wait a week, let some bugs that weren't found without really widespread use get fixed, and the mirrors to settle down [03:22] shane2peru, hold on.. [03:22] hi does anyone here know anything about sound in ubuntu? [03:22] as am I [03:23] The question is: why is there not a disclaimer on the main site? [03:23] maco: hey, you there? [03:23] hi does anyone here know anything about sound *quality* in ubuntu? [03:23] Any problem if I install 7.04 now? I mean as in its not too old or does not have a huge lack of features does it? [03:23] hmmm... well this person on the fourms told me to run it in "super user" mode. Any ideas? [03:23] shane2peru, http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ [03:23] I noticed they're getting hammered. I had to edit my hosts info just to update [03:23] j_humphrey: whatss up [03:23] hardyone: are the microsoft core fonts copyrighted then? ie, they can't be used in the US without breaking the law (however trivially)? [03:23] lopin, why would there be? obviously there's going to be a slowdown when a new release comes out... [03:23] MachinTrucChose_, Mhm. [03:23] I'm getting this md5sum for wubi.exe: a96aa69961f3ed80dd7a88fae1e28196 wubi.exe [03:23] Skuller nothing wrong with 7.04, and it has 6 more months of support [03:23] ffm_, thanks!, checking it out. === jay29 is now known as Jordanjay29 [03:23] underdog5004: This is not a slowdown. This is a grinding halt [03:23] maco: So i think that the iwl3945 driver and my router are incompatible [03:23] MachinTrucChose_, at least they cannot be redistrubuted. You need a MS licence. [03:23] shane2peru, No problem. [03:23] MachinTrucChose_: something like that but doubt Bill is going to knock on your door [03:23] MachinTrucChose_ msttcorefonts are freeware, extracted from MS freeware [03:24] maco, still helping people? [03:24] * shane2peru runs off to read about the Ubuntu DVD [03:24] maco: http://stebalien.com/2008/04/2wireiwl3945crash.html [03:24] eklof: It really shouldn't be more dangerous than, say a debian dist-upgrade. Many entreprise users are going to upgrade from an LTS to another (not today!) [03:24] MachinTrucChose_, Technically a violation, but unlikely to prosicute. [03:24] underdog5004: And, I'm trying to upgrade from the alt cd, but it keeps locking up... [03:24] lopin, ime, it's been a slowdown...I tried to install libk3b2-mp3 on my gf's lappy...took nearly 5 minutes before it could fetch the package [03:24] hi all [03:24] lopin, where does it lock up at? [03:25] I am getting this error when I try to run sudo command: sudo: unable to resolve host genie02 [03:25] underdog5004: Package manager [03:25] lopin, while it's fetching the package lists? [03:25] underdog5004: I switched to a local server, and I could at least get the lists, bu tnothing else... [03:25] MachinTrucChose_: those fonts have been given by microsoft "in the interest of interoperability". Sourceforge hosts them [03:25] ffm_, WOW double thanks, apt on CD looks really cool, I'm liking it Thanks a bundle! [03:25] my sound is all messed up now that I upgraded to hardy heron, the sound is all raspy and ruffled, why is that? [03:25] underdog5004: Maybe? It's at the end, but it locks up while offline too... [03:25] whereas the MD5SUMS file has this line: cdd32124f23b455b0aa22cc3ff35ff35 *wubi.exe [03:25] shane2peru, Make checks payable to... [03:25] does anyone have any experience with rsnapshot? I'm trying to figure it out, but I'm a bit confused regarding what should run on the server vs client [03:25] sry if this question was previously answered, but how can I upgrade from a 8.04 beta version to LTS final?? [03:25] Does 8.04 no longer include ntfs support? [03:25] Gman99999, Uh, I wouldn't know unless you gave more information. [03:25] ffm_, ha ha ;) [03:26] underdog5004: "Checking Package Manager" [03:26] gvieira, use the update manager.

[03:26] x3n0: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:26] gvieira: if you did the update yesterday you are already there :) [03:26] kl4m: thanks. in that case, why not include them in Ubuntu? I can see why they wouldn't be in Gobuntu, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to mind optional "restricted" packages [03:26] TheDukeNY, try the 3g drivers [03:26] why is it that without nvidia driver disabled the resolution reaches 76hz but while its enabled it only stays within the 50hz i thought it was suppose to be the other way around!!

[03:26] nickrud; just booted up my live CD, works perfectly. [03:26] ffm_ its just sounds all garbled now, im not sure how that could happen it sounds like there's static now in every single sound [03:26] genie, long time no see! [03:26] bcardarella, sounds like an accessibility setting [03:26] underdog5004: I'll just let it sit then [03:27] Gman99999, Uh, maybe a hardware problem? [03:27] i'm having a few issues with an alias i've written [03:27] bcardarella: sounds like one of the accessability options; mouse keys. you can change the settings in system, preference, assistive technologies [03:27] I don't remember :P how can I see if my version is the final?

[03:27] HardyOne, That's the panel that controls that bit. [03:27] ffm_ I just upgrade from gutsy and everything worked fine [03:27] nickrud; what is the sudo eject command for a standard DVD drive? [03:27] sammy: yeap, that was it. Thanks :) [03:27] ffm_ it all worked fine in gutsy [03:27] Seven_Six_Two: How do I get those drivers?

[03:28] HardyOne, Go to the Sys>Prefs>Assist. Tech. (series of menus) [03:28] nickrud; nothing. [03:28] favoritefood0 and ls /dev/sd* should show you the device (if it was recognized) .

[03:28] x3n0 just what does that do? better have a good answer [03:28] upgrade is being slow :( [03:28] MachinTrucChose_: I don't know why they are not included. But they are in a exe, and the license told they can't be modified. That's why it depends on cabextract also. [03:29] ffm_: lmao you are answering questions to me that I have not asked [03:29] favoritefood0 but does it show up in /dev/sd* [03:29] anybody else getting the same md5sum for wubi.exe ?

[03:30] HardyOne, You asked why your numpad was controlling your mouse? (or was that someone else...) [03:30] x3n0 ok, I see that now. Can't read sed without serious help ;) [03:30] nickrud; it's mount point is /dev/hdc [03:30] Kl4m, If you want you can install firefox-2.0 from the repositories. [03:30] ffm_: someone else [03:30] Kl4m, ok i gonna try that [03:30] favoritefood0, That's not the mount point, that's the device point. [03:30] when is archive.ubuntu.com going to be back up? [03:30] whelp, I gotta restart, just installed the fonts [03:30] ciao [03:30] fdsjkalf, When people stop using it so heavellu. [03:30] well i'm in need of a little help getting it going properly :/ [03:30] *heavelly. [03:30] favoritefood0, That is usually not a mount point. It is a link to the block device. [03:30] ffm_, i installenmd firefox 2.0 and have the same problems [03:30] hi [03:30] is there a booster floppy that allows me to boot from USB for computer that can't by default? [03:30] VictorB: It only does it occasionally [03:30] fdsjkalf, when people stop poking it:D [03:30] is back [03:30] fdsjkalf, Try a local mirror.

LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [03:31] favoritefood0 it shouldn't be anymore (in hardy) . Is /dev/hdc there , and is any /dev/sc* (the new naming scheme for cd/dvds, forgot for a sec [03:31] Kl4m, canyou try downloading? [03:31] Arnos: I don't think they do booster floopys like that anymore now that they figure everyone can just dl and burn a cd, or that anyone wanting to do that could just make their own bootable floppy. are you still trying to load the update from usb? [03:31] ah, much nicer :P [03:31] for nickrud; in other news I looked in /dev/by-id and I see my DVD drive there [03:31] based on your experience, how long does it take for archive.ubuntu.com to be back to normal after a release date [03:31] has anybody made a ubuntu installable USb key ? [03:31] ok [03:31] VictorB: I've been using it for many weeks now. It did on downloading a couple of times but rarely [03:31] how is the new version [03:32] favoritefood0 if you won't answer the questions I ask, there's not much I can say [03:32] I arbir: I have, it didn't work thought that might have just been the PC I tried it on [03:32] pawan: stay around and watch the problems flow :) [03:32] nickrud; sorry I don't know what you want me to look for. [03:32] Arnos you can try to use syslinux as the boot loader [03:32] pawan: it works. [03:32] i tried but i keep getting errors @ Arnos [03:32] How can I get my internal hard drive to mount when my 3g driver is installed, but it doesnt do it automatically. Is there a way I can do it manually? [03:32] pawan: better than gutsy. [03:32] nickrud; err...well, I don't know exactly what you want me to look rfor. [03:32] Error: The flag 'boot' is not available for loop disk labels. @ Arnos [03:32] great [03:32] favoritefood0 I've asked a couple of times, the latest version: /dev/hdc there , and is any /dev/sc* [03:33] Arnos: you could install grub on a floppy. I can boot from USB hard drives with grub [03:33] trying to download java at near dsl speeds is just unbearable [03:33] Still no ubuntu+1, huh? [03:33] pawan: in any case, it's a reccomended upgrade. [03:33] arbir: did you follow this tutorial? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/04/14/ubuntu-804-usb-hard-drive-install/ [03:33] Kl4m I don't know how to install grub on a floppy [03:33] ya [03:33] nope Arnos.. let me see that link.. i was following another link [03:33] Shpook: #ubuntu+1 goes here until development on 8.10 begins [03:33] Arnos i was trying this link --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [03:34] i want to install windows vista on top of ubuntu [03:34] Shpook: keep your pants on :P [03:34] Shpook give the dev's a chance to party a bit ;) === dragobr_ is now known as mes [03:34] arbir that should have worked [03:34] is gone away with Arnos's link [03:34] amenado: i was getting that error === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [03:34] does anyone have experience with the rt73 wireless driver? im trying to get my usbdongle to work on hardy, but it doesnt show up in networkmanager [03:34] arbir-> what error? [03:34] Arnos: when you install Ubuntu, at the last stage, click on the "advanced..." button and install grub on /dev/fd0 [03:34] nickrud; in /dev/ I see no sc* file [03:34] sammy, nickrud: lol I just want to join in on the fun. [03:34] amenado: Error: The flag 'boot' is not available for loop disk labels. [03:35] Kl4m I did [03:35] arbir i dont see that mentioned on that linked you just pasted [03:35] Kl4m, i gonna wait a few days mayby they solve the problems with FF === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [03:35] I have a somewhat odd problem. After upgrading to hardy, my number keys no longer work. Does anyone have any idea how I can go about troubleshooting that? [03:35] amenado: i nkow, but i am not able to copy my iso to that disk [03:35] it keeps bugging me for making it a bootable partition [03:35] did fstab change at all? [03:35] Kl4m: what I want is a floppy that will make a computer boot to a USB that normally can't my USB can already boot itself if the computer supports it [03:36] arbir you have formatted your usb as vfat? [03:36] amenado: it was first fat32, then i formatted to ext2 [03:36] when i install windows vista on top of ubuntu it destroys grub [03:36] VictorB: They had to put FF 3 because else they would have to support FF2 for 3 years [03:36] amenado: i tried everything.... [03:36] hi. why I can't download ubuntu 8.04 from ubuntu.com [03:36] now let me try that link Arnos just gave me [03:36] VictorB: It will be upgraded when it's released... [03:36] ff3 beta 5 is very stable [03:36] arbir that link says use vfat not fat32 eh? === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [03:36] OK, I am running ubuntu on a thinkpad x60. I want to use an external keyboard. When I plug it in (USB), though, I can't type on it. A light comes on the keyboard, but my laptop doesn't accept input from it. I tried rebooting with it plugged in, but I had no luck. How can I make this work? [03:37] They're going to be an updated release, hopefully it'll include the final version. [03:37] amenado: when i try to make vfat using parted [03:37] Fa Yeah sure but it's a beta [03:37] amenado: parted wont let me make vfat [03:37] arbir unless you have syslinux 3.0 [03:37] you can uninstall k14m === Little is now known as McFuddle [03:37] favoritefood0 ok, look in /var/dmesg , there'll be a section that starts with something like ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 , it describes the recognition of your drives, or you could put the whole thing on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [03:37] amenado: parted> mkfs 1 vfat does not work [03:37] how to install windows vista [03:37] lol [03:37] Arnos: what is the problem again? [03:37] amenado: i was still on ubuntu 7.10 and i am using what ever version of syslinux that came [03:38] arbir-> then you have to find another tool to make a vfat if gparted dont work for you [03:38] Well, I'm going to ask this in here then: Are there any issues I should be aware of with the upgrade? Audio, video, network, etc? [03:38] pawan no trolling [03:38] my ubuntu is updated, thank you for who helped! :D and congratz to development team [03:38] !dualboot | pawan [03:38] pawan: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [03:38] amenado: let me look around.. if i cannot get anywhere, i will get back here to post my question [03:38] Although audio is now run by pulse, i'm sure that will be smooth. I'm in love with pulse audio. [03:38] will you be around amenado / [03:38] Kl4m: The computer can't boot to a USB, any USB, I want a floppy that will let it [03:38] nickrud; in my /var/ folder there is no /dmesg file or folder... [03:38] Shpook: I had some audio issues, but they were easily solved by changing sound from auto-detect to ALSA [03:38] favoritefood0 srry, /var/log/dmesg [03:38] arbir no guarantee [03:39] !partial upgrade|scorpfromhell [03:39] ricree: That's pretty typical, at least it's nothing major. :-) [03:39] Arnos: ok, do you want to boot Ubuntu on usb? [03:39] amenado: no probs.. thanks for the pointer.. thats good enough to keep me RTFM'ing [03:39] Or in general [03:39] KL4m: yes [03:39] thanks a lot amenado [03:39] arbir okay, you're welcome [03:39] !ext2 [03:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:39] Shpook: yeah, I was pretty worried though, since I had a lot of sound problems when Feisty first came out [03:39] ubuntu 8 rocks [03:39] ya [03:40] what is the partial upgrade after upgrade to hardy that's been taking me ages? :( [03:40] ricree: I solved my sound problems in feisty by installing pulseaudio. [03:40] scorpfromhell probably slow servers [03:40] ricree: But yeah, before that I had a lot of problems too. [03:40] I'm pretty sure I know the answer.... But if I upgrade to hardy, and somehow it breaks something on my system and things aren't working properly there isn't an uninstall option is there? [03:40] hey, i just upgraded, and of course I am having problems, specifically with the apt-get / synaptic [03:40] Kl4m: [03:40] nickrud; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64303/ [03:40] Randocal no [03:40] 1)I want to boot Ubuntu on my USB [03:40] 2)the computer can't boot to USB normally [03:40] 3)Therefor I need a floppy that will make my computer boot to USB [03:40] 4)The floppy would let the computer access the USB which would then boot [03:40] Arnos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:40] back up your data before upgrading [03:40] amenado: that link is to install ubuntu on my USB flash drive [03:41] arbir correct [03:41] for some reason they are just not working, i cant apt-get it just hang, i can't install packages it just hangs, i can't add reposistories iether [03:41] amenado: i want to make a USB flash drive,, a ubuntu installer [03:41] no, am not complaining about slow servers, I am expecting that :) hence torrented the alternate cd [03:41] obf213: repos are extra slow [03:41] i am currently running ubuntu now i want to install vista how [03:41] amenado : my laptop's CD drive does not work.. but i can boot with my usb key [03:41] !usb > Arnos [03:41] obf213: What kind of problems? The servers have been extremely slow with the release. [03:41] obf213: In the mean time, use a mirror. [03:41] Killeroid, is that because of today [03:41] arbir right, and use syslinux to put the loader on it [03:41] obf213: yeah, everyone is upgrading [03:41] i found a mirror that served hardy to me at over 1150KB/s [03:41] obf213: if you can, if you can start synaptic package manager from scratch, before doing anything else, go into the repository setup and have it find the best mirror for you. [03:41] amenado... hold on.. let me put syslinux on it [03:42] Shpook, i just cant apt-get or evne add repositories, if thats the case, I have no problem being patient [03:42] thanks [03:42] * jeriath is sad cuz synergy doesnt work with 8.04 :( [03:42] it was one in sweden, assuming it would be fast since its sweden i clicked it despite being in the us of a [03:42] amenado: will this link do ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [03:42] and whaddaya know, it was faaaast [03:42] Arnos: When you install Ubuntu on the USB drive. you need to install grub on a floppy. On the last install questions, click "advanced..." and install grub on /dev/fd0 [03:42] 3 years til upgrade [03:42] lol [03:42] will hardy work for eeepc? [03:42] hello [03:42] favoritefood0 you have both sata and pata interfaces? [03:43] obf213: I would suggest waiting until this time tomorrow, maybe even a day longer, then try. I've been having problems grabbing anything from the repos. [03:43] scorpfromhell: you'll want xubuntu for a eeepc [03:43] arbir same one [03:43] !repomirror is Go to "System>Administration>Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the closest mirror to you automatically. [03:43] obf213: and when I was able to, they only downloaded at ~15kbps.

[03:44] hello ive got a kds xf-9b monitor and a nvidia 8600 gt video card and at 1280 x 768 i can only get 60 hz resolution why will it not let me change it to atleast 75 ? [03:44] ffm it's not the same [03:44] Fdisk_: It's an opinion. [03:44] i prefer to install kde 4 with ubuntu [03:44] fdsjkalf: what is better apple or oranges ? [03:45] fdsjkalf: It's an opinion. [03:45] fdsjkalf: both are great, depends on personal preference [03:45] favoritefood0 ok, it looks like your parallel interface is not getting recognized properly, only the hard drive. You should file a bug report, attach that file to it, along with the output of sudo lshw [03:45] i completely removed swdec using the synaptic package manager, but FF still uses swdec [03:45] fdsjkalf: Depends on what your preference is. I suggest you try both. [03:45] i am patient [03:45] Fdisk_: Ooops, mishighlight. [03:45] Hey everyone [03:45] how can i tell the version of my syslinux === mes is now known as ck [03:45] i prefer stability over anything [03:45] thanks for all the replies [03:45] fdsjkalf: There is no definitive answer.

[03:46] scorpfromhell: It seems you can install ubuntu on it, not only xubuntu. [03:46] Fa: Personally, I think Gnome has better qualities than Windows and KDE. Nautilus could be better, but I'll ta.ke a crum(b)y navigation over stupid glitches and bad interface any day [03:46] yes osvin but it's not the same [03:46] fyrfaktry: Yeah, I'm getting 2MiB/s down on them.

[03:47] * jburd got 220 Kbps on the torrents. [03:47] dan_l, To Upgrade from the CD/ISO, you'll need the alternate ISO or the DVD: run cdromupgrade from the root of the CD/ISO/DVD. If you don't want to/can't burn a disc, you can 'mount -o loop nameofiso /path/to/mount/' [03:47] I pulled the x64 cd in about 15 minutes [03:47] my numberkeys stopped working after the upgrade. Does anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot? [03:47] osvin: yes, just install all the KDE packages and libraries. Then log out, select KDE from the Options/Sessions menu, and log in [03:47] Yeah, the torrents are definitely faster. Don't bother with the HTTP servers dan_l [03:47] from your guyses experience, how long does it take for the archive server load to return to normal? [03:48] hey guys im having trouble with my feisty instal, upon choosing install the screen goes black except for a single row of pixels that are green at the top [03:48] osvin: Yes, just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:48] are the really this bogged?

[03:48] JoCoProductions: you might want to try the alternate installer [03:48] fdsjkalf: Give it a few days, it's release day today. Servers are going to be slow for a while. [03:48] DBautell: ive never booted an alternate CD, does it just leave you with a bash shell? [03:48] five min and my dl still hasn't started [03:48] ok, and can I install gnome in kubunut? [03:48] ffm_: u got fios? you stinky :P [03:48] jordanjay29 ok thanks [03:48] rich_freecomm what the alternate installer? [03:49] ffm_: no offense, but i hate you. FiOS isn't available in south florida yet. I've got the money set aside for it though. :-D [03:49] favoritefood0 ah, I see it. I'd expect it to be further up (mine is) [03:49] osvin: yes [03:49] dan_l, neither have I, but I understand you can update from within your current setup off the cd [03:49] American and Canadian users, you can pummel some Canadian universities mirrors, they're mostly not overloaded [03:49] Any problems with Hardy yet??? [03:49] any one now about my resoloution problem / [03:49] osvin: You can install any desktop included in the package manager in any ubuntu or derivate distros [03:49] nickrud; heh, it must have to do with the way my Mobo reports to Ubuntu. [03:49] shpook: not in North florida either :( [03:49] hey all where is the bittorent for 8.04? i can't find it from ubuntu.com [03:49] five min for the dl to start. 3 sec for it to complete [03:49] dan_l, I'm still waiting on the DVD, which just got up to speed [03:49] I got the screen brightness on my laptop fixed [03:49] cube: see the channel topic [03:49] Ok, yeah I guess ill try that. Should I be worried about updating(aka has anyone reported FUBAR-ing)? [03:49] i did [03:49] cube ftp://lug.bu.edu/pub/distro/ubuntu/ [03:49] fyrfaktry: Yes, it's nice. For only 20~ USD more I can get 20Mbits up/down. [03:49] favoritefood0 could be. I'd still attach that, the lshw, and ls /dev/s* , [03:50] What is the best version of Ubuntu for Core2 Duo, i386 or x64? [03:50] fyrfaktry: We're gonna have to start mail bombing verizon :-) [03:50] oh overlooked [03:50] hey guys, anyone know how can i uninstall kde4 on 8.04? [03:50] dragobr_: Synaptic?

[03:50] im using x86_64 okay now :) [03:50] osvin: i386 is the safe one, I use x64 but you can run into problems, wait until you have some Linux experience if you don't. [03:50] erm, dragobr_ the factoid above I gave to DracoZA was for you [03:50] Once I get FiOS I can cut down my $260 Comcast bill :-P [03:50] lol, wrong tab complete? [03:51] ffm_: i'm sure. I'm still stuck with 6meg DSL [03:51] KyleK: Because of what Kl4m just said ;) [03:51] ok, zzzz time, I'll check the wubi.exe problem tomorrow [03:51] ill see.. but i thought it woudlnt work for kde4 [03:51] thx [03:51] dbautell ty [03:51] fyrfaktry: Nasty. === Miss_Adriana_Ber is now known as Adriana_Bestova [03:51] yea i guess i do know what im doing [03:51] any time [03:51] dragobr_ if someone has written something, it'll show up there [03:51] anyone know how to troubleshoot keyboard problems?

[03:52] shpook: yeah, but I work for AT&T lol [03:52] even if I have an intel core2 processor, should I still use the x386 iso ? [03:52] I hope my system run better [03:52] u could use the 64...it says intel [03:52] So techno_freak, don't see you around much these days. Why? [03:52] LOVE 8.04 [03:52] where is the help channel for hardy ? [03:52] Fdisk_: this is it [03:52] Kl4m: Which is why I suggested i386. It's the tried and true version for stability on all modern processors. [03:52] here [03:52] fyrfaktry: lol Oh, well i understand then lol. I've almost moved just to switch from comcast to cox [03:52] LOVE IT THANK YOU !

[03:53] shpook: yeah, cox is pretty solid [03:53] yep, there arent instructions for kde4 =/.. but thx anyway [03:53] * BubbleTea holds up a 'Free hug sign [03:53] osmosis yes [03:53] osvin: I think it runs faster but that's probably a placebo effect [03:53] Kl4m: flash wasn't a problem, java was a bit of one with the arduino environment [03:53] ok [03:53] Yeah BTW how do I get the sun-java-plugin on AMD64? [03:54] I still don't know [03:54] Kl4m: Good luck. [03:54] I 'll run ubuntu 8.04 i386 [03:54] Kl4m: not in the package manager? [03:54] Kl4m: I had many issues with java in feisty 64-bit [03:54] is it just me, or does the installer seem to lack a way to mount an encrypted volume without erasing what is in it? === boomer` is now known as boomer [03:54] So this channel is still open? [03:54] i heard a rumor a while ago that ubuntu now had one command to install all the mp3 flash restricted stuff etc [03:55] kilrae: Why don't you mount after installation? So long as you're not installing to that volume [03:55] ripps: are you coming from #ubuntu+1 ? if so you've just been redirected to #ubuntu [03:55] obf213: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:55] obf213: sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:55] ah, but what if i am installing to an LVM in that volume [03:55] ARGH. The anticipation is killing me. Only 5.75 hours left until the upgrade is downloaded. [03:55] oh, I didn't realize [03:55] oops, missed a line, use dragobr's [03:55] :) [03:56] Hey. Just installed 8.04 on my IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T60, i386. When I close the laptop, then open it again, the screen becomes all "messed up" and I need to do a hard system shutdown. Any suggestions? [03:56] I'm switching to offtopic to keep this channel cleaner, I'll be back and forth. [03:56] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xmltv/xmltv_0.5.51.orig.tar.gz [03:56] Surrealwraith: Adjust your power settings, I think. [03:56] can anyone please tell me how to force a resolution in this new xorg server? it isn't letting me edit the xorg.conf as much as i used to. [03:56] WHY ARE THESE FSCKING SERVERS DEAD [03:56] how di enable the desktop cube in 8.04 ? [03:56] how many of you here use compiz fusion? [03:56] famicom cuz everyone (including you) is hammering them ;) [03:56] famicom: it's release day, and thousands of people are trying to download the latest version. Give it a break and come back in a day or so [03:56] That didn't work when I had the same problem on the beta, but I'll try. Thanks [03:56] famicom: they are not dead. Many people are download 8.04 using up a lot of bandwidth. [03:56] * famicom sakes fist [03:56] kelvin91: I use compiz [03:56] famicom: Use a canadian educational mirror, they don't seem to have any problem [03:57] !offtopic [03:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:57] Yeah, the download took hours [03:57] torent is fast [03:57] famicom: aiui the servers do at least several gigabit, so for them to be overloaded means large amounts of people are downloading [03:57] osvin: does your video playback flicking sometimes? [03:57] Kl4m does that have the sources [03:57] CRAP [03:57] famicom: use the torrents [03:57] Comcast makes torrents impossible.. [03:57] hello all, does anyone know how to add hotkey support for an asus laptop? [03:57] calc are you braindead [03:57] kevin911: no [03:57] twinkie_addict, install compizconfig settings manager [03:57] im trying to get a source package [03:57] apt-torrent be nice by default [03:57] mine cut out after i installed hardy [03:57] kevin911: run fine [03:57] not a whole iso [03:57] anyone know how i can remove swfdec plugin so that firefox will stop using it [03:57] Is there a way to kick every other users off a server besides yourself ? [03:57] can anyone please tell me how to force a resolution in this new xorg server? it isn't letting me edit the xorg.conf as much as i used to. [03:57] famicom system->admin -> software sources , download from : choose other, and a local mirror [03:57] famicom: then use a mirror [03:57] osvin: it is not that visible sometimes [03:57] Darkphyre, what graphics card? [03:57] osvin: but it isnt as smooth as it is in windows [03:57] !attitude | famicom [03:57] famicom: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:58] how can i upgrade to the hardy version with ap-get [03:58] Mine cut out after 30 seconds. I called and they said Ubuntu is illegal anyway, so I should stop trying... [03:58] Surrealwraith: You sure? I just adjusted my settings, closed my lid and opened again. It does nothing, as I instructed it too. And, yeah, comcast is a pain in the [you know where] for torrents. [03:58] !care | nickrud [03:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about care - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:58] famicom: usherbrooke seems to have source [03:58] * calc notes this channel scrolls so fast he didn't even see famicom was talking about sources [03:58] 6600GT, doolz. the drivers are installed. but my monitor isn't being recognized. [03:58] kevin911: Maybe your video card is slow [03:58] Kl4m ah thatnks [03:58] p28301016 if you want to use the command line, use do-release-upgrade [03:58] thanks [03:58] osvin: my video card is 7600GT 256mb [03:58] it is perfect in windows [03:58] Surrealwraith: Comcast is currently being a [female dog] when it comes to bittorrent. [03:58] calc next time make sure your brain is in gear before engaging mouth [03:59] i wonder if it is compiz that is causing it [03:59] famicom: if you just use a country code server it probably points back to the main server as well, eg us.archive.ubuntu.com points at archive.ubuntu.com [03:59] thanks nickruk [03:59] Darkphyre, do you have nvidia-settings installed? [03:59] Yeah, it's happening again.. I can't even see the window. Just lots fo lines and colors. brb, need to restat. [03:59] famicom: i'm sure i don't know much i only maintain openoffice :-P [03:59] kevin911: I don't know what is the problem [03:59] calc eh, that's nothing to crow about ;) [03:59] * nickrud runs [03:59] doolz, yes. but it isn't letting me go over 640x480 either. [03:59] can we install vista on top of ubuntu [03:59] nickrud: :-P [03:59] does anyone know about brightness sliders not showing up in the gnome power manager? [03:59] calc and i maintain a whole other bunch of packages [03:59] Real quick, can I just ask everyone to stop upgrading until mine is finished? :-P [03:59] hush it pawan [03:59] lawl [03:59] famicom: i used to maintain about 300 packages [04:00] pawan: No. You can dual boot or overwrite your ubuntu installation. [04:00] calc for ubuntu or debian? [04:00] famicom: but OOo is about equal to all of them combined in pita to do [04:00] kevin911: My Lenovo R61 has Intel x300 video card and run very fine [04:00] pawan: or try virtual box [04:00] famicom: debian [04:00] ah ok [04:00] how do you get emerald installed on 8.04? [04:00] famicom: but you can look at various packages in ubuntu and see my changelog entries still [04:00] pawan: Oh, sorry, forgot about VMware [04:00] calc well personally i cant stand most of these ubuntards [04:00] i want to keep my existing ubuntu installation and wanna install vista [04:00] sudo apt-get install emerald doesnt work [04:00] doolz, yes. but it isn't letting me go over 640x480 either. [04:00] but for the desktop it's nice [04:00] does anyone has the torrent of kubuntu 8.04? [04:00] yago: channel topic [04:01] famicom insults for anyone are not tolerated. Last warning [04:01] Noone here knows how to completely get rid of the mozilla swfdec plugin so that firefox will stop using it? [04:01] amyhow i', leaving before i get a permaban for not joining in their circle jerk of being helpfull [04:01] calc: not in Canada ca.archive.ubuntu.com = mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca [04:01] * calc doesn't bother with getting releases on release day, he downloads them a few days before :) [04:01] osvin: i wonder how much effect u turn on? [04:01] Kl4m: ah that is good news then :) [04:01] calc, me too :) [04:01] Darkphyre: using 8.04 you cannot change yo res. with a 6600GT? [04:01] Kl4m: which is why you should check the ip address :) [04:01] johd: uninstall the package [04:01] anyone have any idea why all of my windows want to spawn underneath my application bar? thus hiding the ablilty to drag them.. i have to use alt+drag to get them out... the bar is still there... not a windows decoration issue [04:01] Liquidy, yes. [04:01] I already uninstalled it [04:01] hey calc, I thought ibex was starting today? [04:01] how can i go about updating from the hardy beta to the hardy release? [04:01] Darkphyre: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at your next boot [04:02] Kl4m: not sure why we don't have a mirror in the US (or didn't last time I checked) that is pointed to by us.a.u.c [04:02] my grub menu still displays the developmental branch... [04:02] mrbird just start the update manager [04:02] you're using those "Restricted" drivers? [04:02] yes [04:02] I am trying to perfom a netinstall... All online tutorials explain how to do this with "dnsmasq" .... I am using bind9, any links? [04:02] johd: how about from the Firefox plugins area? [04:02] Is there no #Ubuntu+1 yet? [04:02] does it mean i am not upgraded?? [04:02] kevin911: I enabled extra effectds [04:02] my upgrade to Hardy from Gutsy hangs at "Preparing to install." I've tried upgrading from an alt cd and from the repos, but both hang at the same part. Any ideas? I'd rather not do a full reinstall if possible. [04:02] x1250: well it should start by next week anyway since toolchain is noted to be uploaded by then [04:02] orthodoc no, just means you have the latest kernel [04:02] x1250: as soon as it is I will be uploading OOo 3.0 beta (assuming it builds) [04:02] lets see [04:02] i wonder how to make new open window spawn on top of the screen instead of at the bottom of the screen [04:03] nickrud: thanks [04:03] orthodoc try lsb_release -a , [04:03] because the docking icons are on the way most of the time [04:03] Darkphyre: can you lspci and paste the "video" line here? [04:03] x1250: OOo 3.0 beta is supposed to be out on Apr 30 [04:03] calc: what are those us.a.u.c servers anyway? dedicated for ubuntu? [04:03] so... you cant install any of the normal apps on 8.04 yet i guess [04:03] calc, great [04:03] I can't get the dvd IDO torrent file from here... any other links? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04-dvd-i386.iso.torrent [04:03] Liquidy: i cant paste anything. its on my other pc. [04:03] i may have to wait the repose are being hit so hard i cant fetch compizconfig or any thing else , i was lucky it seems to get my nvidia drivers via add remove [04:03] s/IDO/ISO [04:03] arc_shmoo: What do you call "noraml apps"? [04:03] Liquidy: i'll try to type it [04:03] thanks nickrud [04:03] Kl4m: there are no us.archive.ubuntu.com servers really, they are the same ones in London that are the main archive [04:04] I was wondering, given that many documents are displayed best at 8.5 x 11 format, is there any way to quickly grow the window to that size? [04:04] i'll try that... [04:04] calc: oh that's bad... [04:04] Kl4m: it just happens that the London colo has really good bandwdith [04:04] I am trying to perfom a netinstall... All online tutorials explain how to do this with "dnsmasq" .... I am using bind9, any links? [04:04] one off topic question: calc does the beta handle office docx/xlsx better now? (please, please say yes so I don't have to run the darned vm as much) [04:04] When I try to enable normal desktop effects, it says "The Composite Extension is Not Available". Any suggestions? [04:04] which picture viewer is the best? [04:04] nickrud: no idea, i haven't tested it yet [04:04] jordanjay29: wine and emerald so far im sure ill find more as i try to get it up to date but ive had it up for 30 min so far [04:04] i want something similar to ACDSee 2.4 [04:04] Liquidy: there is no "video" line [04:04] nickrud: 3.0 will be the first time upstream OOo supports Office 2007 formats at all though [04:04] does anybody have any idea how to fix this crazy resoloution problem ?? [04:04] but all picture viewer i try dont open image at normal size [04:05] nickrud: i'm sure it will take a while to shake out most of the bugs [04:05] well [04:05] Fdisk_: restate please? [04:05] calc I'll have to try, all but one person in my office kindly uses the old format to humor me [04:05] arc_shmoo: sudo apt-get install emerald works for me (8.04) [04:05] installing adobe plugin fixed it i suppose [04:05] thanks [04:05] arc_shmoo: I've got both wine and emerald installed now. Use Synaptic [04:05] johd: glad you could get it working [04:05] An live link available for this? ubuntu-8.04-dvd-i386.iso.torrent [04:05] nickrud: when upstream is provided example documents that are displayed wrong they seem to fix them pretty fast (for next release) [04:05] I am trying to perfom a netinstall... All online tutorials explain how to do this with "dnsmasq" .... I am using bind9, any links? [04:05] ricree, enable restricted drivers for your video card [04:05] nickrud: at least in the past for eg the old Microsoft formats [04:05] jordanjay29: im going to fall on a rusty spork now [04:05] calc great. I'll pass on the ones I can [04:05] does anyone how a how-to for doing a dist upgrade with low disk free? [04:05] Liquidy: "VGA compatible controller: nvidia corporation nv43 [geforce 6600 gt] [04:06] nickrud: returns no lsb modules available [04:06]  PMantis: see topic the link is there [04:06] arc_shmoo: don't worry, everybody gets mind blanks [04:06] ive got a nvidia 8600 gt card and a kds xf-9b monitor and at 1280 x768 i can only get 60hz and need atleast 75 [04:06] back. Changing the power settings didn't help [04:06] nickrud: don't start filing bugs about it until 3.0 beta is in though [04:06] how to check which video card driver i am using? [04:06] orthodoc lsb_release -a in ubuntu says that? [04:06] im running hardy with nvidia driver [04:06] nickrud: the Office 2007 support in 8.04 isn't from official OOo [04:06] milly1234: the hardware drivers program says that they are in use [04:06] jordanjay29: thanks [04:06] is it dmesg ? [04:06] is back with an alias [04:06] first of all, congrats on hardy :) [04:06] find "NVIDIA" | dmesg ?? [04:06] calc no, I'll be waiting till the beta. (and I wondered why some worked, thanks a bunch :) === moon2js is now known as mooni [04:06] what is the exact command? [04:06] kevin911: in your xorg.conf [04:06] i installed syslinux but how can i tell the version ? [04:06] nickrud: do i then modify the grub menu by myself [04:07] orthodoc sure [04:07] nickrud: what is in Ubuntu OOo is some stuff that Novell/SUSE wrote (aiui) [04:07] milly1234: any other suggestions? [04:07] ahoy ahoy. [04:07] orthodoc but 'no lsb modules available' bothers me [04:07] nickrud: i'm hoping the 3.0 beta stuff will be much improved, but i don't know its status [04:07] That said, the update tool is just sitting there doing nothing and consuming no cpu, and it's been doing so for half an hour.... any idea what's up? [04:07] milly1234: or is there someplace that I can make sure my card is compatible? [04:07] oh dear! [04:07] twinkie_addict: That's the *desktop* ISO... I'm looking for the *DVD* ISO torrent. [04:07] kelvin911 system->administration->restricted drivers manager [04:07] oh sorry [04:07] nickrud: so do i keep running upgrades? [04:08] PMantis, ftp://lug.bu.edu/pub/distro/ubuntu/ [04:08] ???? [04:08] nickrud: you can also if you feel like it install upstream OOo for Linux (or Windows) and file bugs directly in official OOo issue tracker, to take Ubuntu out of the loop, which does slow down response a bit [04:08] nickrud: possibly the servers are running full steam...so all the upgrading is taking time [04:08] I'm trying to run open office calc via ssh and I get the following on one of my machines: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display: Any ideas why this is? It works fine on another machine. [04:08] Darkphyre: my server reboots at this hour, it holds over 3000 clients [04:08] orthodoc: you need to add "-a" to the end of the command, lsb_release [04:08] calc I've been using it since staroffice 5.0, and am very happy. Just some virulent window aficianados [04:08] I click "upgrade" from the update manager, then click "upgrade" in the resulting dialog, then it just sits there with 0 progress "downloading file 1 of 2". I'm using the mirror at ussg. [04:08] what is going on ??? http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1dd3.png [04:08] Darkphyre: you fixed that? [04:08] hello [04:08] quick search out of date? [04:08] today Ubuntu 8.04 was released [04:08] congratulations [04:08] IcemanV9: I did that [04:08] calc I already know that, I always check the debian bts as well before filing the few I do [04:08] <]grimm[> Are there any known issues with Hardy and nvidia cards? I just installed Hardy without a hitch in three 64 bit machines with nvidia cards but it's hanging up on an i386 install (which was working fine in Gutsy). I can't seem to use the restricted (non-free) nvidia driver (preferable) nor can I use the nv driver, it just keep taking me back to the "safe mode" screen. Any ideas? [04:09] should i cancel or disable quick search . please see http://img167.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1dd3.png [04:09] IcemanV9: lsb_modules -a [04:09] nickrud: if you do that though make sure they understand you are using their version of OOo instead of Ubuntu (or they will probably close the bug) [04:09] some thing fishy is going on.. i upgraded to hardy beta a week a go. and from 2 days ago. adept said iam fully updated. today hardy is released and adept (apt) still saying iam upto date... ? [04:09] hi folks; I'm trying to upgrade Ubuntu from the cd but once the cd is inserted no upgrade dialog window pops up...what should I do? [04:09] ricree, if you have an nvidia card I had to install nvidia-glx-new, if you have something newer, nvidia-glx for something a little older, and nvidia-glx-old for older cards [04:09] nickrud: before i report any bugs upstream i have to verify them against the official OOo build, which is part of the reason it takes extra time [04:09] orthodoc: oh. modules. ah. that is different. gotcha. my mistake. [04:09] DBautell: Thank you, but that's still just desktop and alternate, NOT the dvd iso torrent. [04:09] clicking "cancel" has no effect. [04:10] calc I don't file bugs there, I just check to see if they exist. If they do, I tend to leave them alone (unless there's a patch that hasn't made it into ubuntu) [04:10] where can I find statistics about how many Ubuntu iso images have been downloaded? and in general some statistics about how many Ubuntu users there are? [04:10] nickrud: ok :) [04:10] should I just not be using the upgrade tool? [04:10] my father has a problem installing 8.04 on an amd/nvidia motherboard.. apparently the IDE drive shows up as scsi now, and at the point where ubuntu tries to format the swap partitions (it gives you no choice not to) it fails.. and loops back to the partitioning part whether you select "go back" or "continue" .. any advice? [04:10] harriseldon: the restricted driver manager dont gimme the driver version [04:10] PMantis, you're right, sorry... [04:10] ricree, sorry for the delay, I am lagged pretty bad because of a lack in bandwidth [04:10] ricree: instead, go to system -> administration -> hardware drivers and install the nvidia stuff [04:10] calc been using debian since 2001, I am very aware of 'politics' ;) [04:10] nickrud: ah :) [04:10] titu: thats normal... [04:10] can anybody tell me what is this version number ? Version: 1:3.36-4ubuntu5 [04:10] nickrud: i used it since jul 98 and a DD since jul 2000 [04:10] is this version 1.3 ? or 3.36 ? [04:10] PMantis, http://www.acc.umu.se/~mighty/ubuntu/ [04:11] arbir_: 3.36 [04:11] how to check video card driver version # ? [04:11] can I install linux on a external usb hard drive using wubi [04:11] thanks Starnestommy [04:11] Starnestommy: so i can installed syslinux under FAT32 [04:11] nickrud: so you have been using debian almost as long as me :) [04:11] calc yes, I've seen you before. [04:11] upgrading from gutsy i686 [04:11] nickrud: i used to maintain KDE for debian among other things [04:11] Kl4m, for some reason when I did that it told me it was already installed when it was not [04:11] gopp: what an interesting question. I guess it would work [04:11] is there a way you can either skip the swap formatting part during the install? or will i be forced to use alternate installer.. or even a way to disable the IDE drive from showing up completely (its not needed) ? [04:11] half the time update-manager freezes as soon as I click the "upgrade" button [04:12] is hardy out? [04:12] gopp: but why would you do that? [04:12] calc but I have to admit I broke completely on warty. The promise of a stable unstable was just too alluring [04:12] I'm out of ideas could I get some help please? [04:12] some thing fishy is going on.. i upgraded to hardy beta a week a go. and from 2 days ago. adept said iam fully updated. today hardy is released and adept (apt) still saying iam upto date... ? [04:12] hi, everyone, how to upgrade my hardy beta version to stable version? [04:12] kelvin911: yes it is out. [04:12] kelvin911: ubuntu.com [04:12] k14, becuase that the drive with the most space [04:12] how to update? [04:12] latitu: thats normal... [04:12] DBautell: Perfect, thansk! [04:12] can anyone please tell me how to force a resolution in this new xorg server? it isn't letting me edit the xorg.conf as much as i used to. [04:12] nickrud: i switched to Ubuntu during warty beta as well [04:12] !wubi [04:12] wubi is Wubi advice here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 and http://wubi-installer.org [file wubi bugs here: https://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug ] (it is included in hardy 8.04 beta CD and will be in the final release) [04:12] can anyone please tell me how to force a resolution in this new xorg server? it isn't letting me edit the xorg.conf as much as i used to. [04:12] hey guys. is there a way to set a gamma correction option in ubuntu hardy? [04:12] somebody please help a po white boy just trying to use hardy 8.04 lol [04:12] should i update? [04:12] hi, any idea about my issue? [04:12] http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ statistics seems to be incorrect. Is there correct torrent statistics for Ubuntu? [04:12] because i know "if it aint broken, dont fix it" [04:13] how to upgrade from beta version to stable version? [04:13] last time i try to update wine, it is screwed up [04:13] how does one get pulseaudio to work? [04:13] will I change the package source? [04:13] latitu: use cat /etc/issue to see if there is no "dev version" printed.. if not, you are using the hardy final.. simply there were no updates on this last two days [04:13] hylinux: I don't think you need to do anything [04:13] !final > hylinux (read the private message from ubotu) [04:13] calc hah! your nick was familiar, but I only know did a whois. Yeah, I do know you ;) [04:13] Fdisk_: can you get a console? (re: 75Hz) [04:13] Darkphyre: as i stated before......sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at your next boot [04:13] what is the different between hardy and gutsy? [04:13] Fdisk_: by pressing ctrl+alt+F2 [04:13] yes i can get a consoule [04:13] nickrud: ah [04:13] Nice, 7 torrents running. Most are done, I'll leave them up to help out. [04:13] kelvin911: hardy is better [04:14] are there any performance boost? [04:14] latitu: the last updated RC version of two days ago is pratically the hardy final [04:14] how better? [04:14] hey i can't put my nvidia FX-5200 to work in 1024x768 in Hardy Heron... i've installed the restricted module but i can't choose the resolution on resolution configuration... i used this videocard in Gusty and in Windows at 1024x768 without any problem... when i choose 1024x768, it gives me incorrectly refresh rates... i use 60hz... but i get to choose 51 or 50hz [04:14] Dragnslcr Ubuntu 8.04 \n \l [04:14] thanks , sahak, jrib [04:14] dragobr_ Ubuntu 8.04 \n \l [04:14] nickrud: yep had this nick for 10 years now on freenode (about 3-4 years before that elsewhere) [04:14] kelvin911 refinement, much better wireless (for me) and [04:14] latitu: so you are on hardy final :) [04:14] if it only fix the wireless issue then i am going for it, i am using desktop here [04:14] Fdisk_: log in and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" try to setup your monitor with the questions there. Leave the defaults (or nothing) for non-monitor questions [04:14] dragobr_ really ?: ) [04:14] krasher use the nvidia tool [04:14] i mean not [04:14] kelvin911: everything is better man (Lord of thermodynamics) [04:14] wish nvidia tool? [04:15] I get the impression that it's trying to connect to ftp.us.ubuntu.com, even though I told it not to [04:15] I'll run an strace [04:15] latitu: yep.. there were no updates on this last two days, just that :) [04:15] sahak: like what? [04:15] gimme me some concrete exmple [04:15] We need more people on the DVD ISO torrent - 28 days to completion?? http://www.acc.umu.se/~mighty/ubuntu/ubuntu-8.04-dvd-i386.iso.torrent [04:15] when i try to transfer myimage to my USB stick , i keep getting an error, can anybody help ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64304/ [04:15] Dragnslcr hm [04:15] Fdisk_: be aware that you can break a CRT monitor with wrong values. You must know what you're doing [04:15] dragobr_ thanks [04:15] Hi. Anyone having any trouble poking the repos? [04:15] calc I never irc'd until xchat dropped me here. I did bbs stuff a long time ago. I flamed much more effectively than most stuff I've seen on debian-devel. Another reason I changed [04:15] latitu: nop [04:15] which nvidia tools? [04:15] can someone post the DVD iso or CD iso to rapidshare? [04:15] i got the book right with me [04:16] dragobr_ nop ? [04:16] PMantis: I am downloading torrent now [04:16] PM, it took a long time to break 30k over here... It's still not up to speed, really [04:16] kelvin911: Firefox 3 for example. [04:16] kelvin911: it's too big. [04:16] Hello there I just installed Xubuntu 8.04 but it seems a ton of packages are missing. Also I can't seem to update my repository. Is this due to heavy traffic? === dragobr_ is now known as dragobr_out [04:16] i think ubuntu should post their file on rapidshare or sites like that [04:16] Hi, just upgraded and I've noticed that now my power button and closing the lid on my laptop don't do anything? The event gets logged in /var/log/acpid but nothing happens. This is on a dell inspiron 6000 [04:16] hi all... sound issues here... audacious, my music player, works fine, but nothing else has sound [04:16] still no luck for me on ubuntu 8.04 with nvidia [04:16] latitu: it was nothing.. glad to help [04:16] HardyOne: Thanks! It's up to 64 days now. :( [04:16] i only have to choose nvidia-xconfig and nothing more... i'm a completely n00b at ubuntu... but i'm not blind to have to use it at 640x480 [04:16] it is way faster to download from rapidshare [04:16] calc anyway nice talking to you. ;) [04:16] kelvin911: why can't you use bittorrent? [04:16] krasher: open a command line and type sudo nvidia-glx-config [04:16] bah, no wireless [04:16] how do i get the networking applet to appear ? [04:16] Yeah. It's trying to connect to 91.189.92.2, which whois tells me is owned by canonical, and just sitting there. Any way to change this behavior? [04:16] because rapidshare is way faster [04:16] mindframe, launch application nm-applet [04:16] chubs730: i don't have this program [04:16] kelvin911: Does rapidshare accept 700MB file even with an ultra-super-premium account [04:16] how do I get my driver to show in System -> Hardware Drivers. It doesnt show anymore since I tried to install nvidia-glx manually with synaptic. [04:17] kelvin911: there are thousands of seeder on bittorrent right now, I don't think you will have problems with speed. [04:17] u can cut it up to seven 100 mb files [04:17] kelvin911 you should try the torrents, they are really good right now [04:17] any suggestions on a good newsreader/nzb downloader? [04:17] does anyone here have vnc4serever going on xubuntu 8.04 [04:17] orven pan is best of breed in linux [04:17] i can download 7 100 mb files in 15 minutes [04:17] krasher: and you've installed the nvidia drivers? perhaps it's different on 8.04, i'll see if i can find anything [04:17] hi [04:17] kelvin911: oh please. there are enough mirrors already. if all else fails use a canadian mirror [04:18] PMantis: going to take a couple hours or so to start seeding though :/ [04:18] i keep getting this error [04:18] Partition isn't marked bootable! [04:18] kelvin911: Perhaps I'm on the wrong torrent? ubuntu dvd i386? [04:18] nickrud: ok [04:18] kelvin911: can you try bittorrent and tell us what speed you are getting? [04:18] i downloaded ubuntu 8.04 from usenet in about 4 minutes... [04:18] hey guys.... are the servers just hammered because of the release of hardy or what? when I try to aptitude update, it says it can't contact hardy-backports repo as well as other repo's, but it is contacting some of them... [04:18] download dvd iso with bt is slow [04:18] arbir_ that makes no sense, it doesn't matter to linux if the partition is bootable. Where do you see that? [04:18] PMantis: did you get it from ubuntu.com or elsewhre [04:18] man the nvidia-settings plugin helped me out alot i was messing with the xorg...why dont u guys include that when u enable nvidia driver....u should have that setting installed automatically i could've saved hours of my time [04:18] chubs730: i've installed the restricted module... but when i go to resolution configuration, i got incorrect refresh rates [04:18] aslaen: yes [04:18] Hi, just upgraded and I've noticed that now my power button and closing the lid on my laptop don't do anything? The event gets logged in /var/log/acpid but nothing happens. This is on a dell inspiron 6000 [04:19] nickrud: here is the detail --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64304/ [04:19] Kl4m: Got it from here, since the cdimage.ubuntu.com link is dead for me http://www.acc.umu.se/~mighty/ubuntu/ubuntu-8.04-dvd-i386.iso.torrent [04:19] weeeeeeeeeee [04:19] warriorforgod: so just keep trying or should I wait a few hours? [04:19] lol [04:19] direct dl is way faster and no need to worry about no seed [04:19] or throw a dog a bone with a pop saying u sh ould install nvidia settings [04:19] i'm gonna see :P [04:19] seed [04:19] how to increase my download in ubuntu [04:19] PMantis: hmm are you sure it's an official & up to date torrent [04:19] PMantis: I think CD image is better [04:19] hi all, just curious if anyone has had any issues installing 8.04 server? I get this kernel requires a feature not present on this cpu on my pentium M laptop [04:19] blankhead: which plugin was that? [04:19] how to increase my download speed in ubuntu [04:19] aslaen: either or. I updated to the RC 2 days ago, but have been seeing lag when using apt-get. I just keep trying. [04:19] what is in DVD iso? [04:19] nickrud: i am trying to make a bootble USB stick to install ubuntu [04:20] how do I get my driver to show in System -> Hardware Drivers. It doesnt show anymore since I tried to install nvidia-glx manually with synaptic. [04:20] where can i find nvidia drivers for hardy? i tried enabling the binary driver but it still says "not in use" [04:20] PMantis: and really. who needs the DVD? [04:20] dini: pick a faster mirror [04:20] juano__: thats what I want to know. [04:20] arbir_ ah, I see. do the commands it gives you. Special case ;) [04:20] can someone help me get postgresql running? i installed postgresql and tried createdb, but apparently the server isnt running, any ideas? [04:20] warriorforgod: ok cool.. ya I've been running the beta for a few weeks now, and haven't seen problems until today. [04:20] What is the upgrade tool trying to download, and is it possible to convince it to download it from a different location? [04:20] So the apt servers are getting a ton of traffic then? [04:20] anyone know howto get pulseaudio to work in xubuntu? [04:20] nickrud: if i do that commands i get a different error [04:20] dini: most mirrors are slow today if that is what you are trying to do [04:20] anyone able to get the logitech dinovo edge/mini dinovo working? [04:20] guys i cannot install sdl1.2-dev [04:20] nickrud: wait let me tell me you what i get [04:20] How i install Chinese supported languages? [04:20] juano__: join #nvidia [04:20] arbir_ those are the real errors then [04:20] osmosis: ok i'm there [04:20] krasher: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [04:20] * calc bbl, can't read this fast while doing other work [04:20] its not on synaptic and i donloaded the .deb packages and it wont instal either [04:20] any help [04:20] ? [04:20] blankhead: doesn't nvidia-settings get installed by nvidia-glx-new? [04:20] kelvin911: I never used DVD iso. Always used CDs [04:20] the main servers must be in pain just from the apt-get updates [04:21] calc is there any software available to increase the browsing and download speed [04:21] me 2 i always use CD\ [04:21] ? [04:21] pipegeek update-manager is the tool you're uisng? [04:21] dvd takes too long to dl and i wonder what is in dvd? [04:21] yes [04:21] how do I update to Hardy if I don't have space on / but do on other partitions? [04:21] more stuffs? [04:21] is pulseaudio still broken in hardy? [04:21] anyone had any issues booting 8.04 server? I get the following error when trying to boot after install on my pentium M laptop: "this kernel requires a feature not present on this cpu" [04:21] nickrud: or, rather, yes [04:21] probably more software [04:21] go to sys> admin> Hardware Drivers [04:21] zoidberg: sudo dpkg -i .deb [04:21] pipegeek system->admin -> software sources, download from: chose other, and find a local mirror [04:21] Why is some packages are STATUS: FAILED? [04:21] dini: there shouldn't need to be any, it is already fast, if you are having slowdown problems it is probably either your connection or the site you are trying to reach [04:21] like more of what software? [04:21] my nvidia drive just installed and said reboot [04:21] kelvin911: more packages but you likely won't use most of them. [04:21] krasher: is that already installed? [04:21] Hello, I get this in Synaptic "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [04:21] E: Unable to lock the list directory [04:21] FINALLY! [04:21] nickrud: I already did. I'm not using ftp.us.ubuntu.com. It's downloading something from there anyway, and I can't dissuade it. [04:22] are there any packages out there that automatically mirror two folders when one of them changes? [04:22] dini: but i am not sure what you are trying to do about speed? is something slow for you? [04:22] Ubuntu repositories have about 20 thousand packages, while CD has only about 1 thousand. [04:22] thanks for that tip of nvidia-settings... [04:22] nickrud: I only know this from the strace output. [04:22] nickrud: i get this error now -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64305/ [04:22] i proper configured the refresh rate [04:22] avayanis_: you prob need the 386 kernel instead of the server kernel [04:22] Mythril: rsync [04:22] oh, boy, was i stupid... [04:22] i hate upgrading! [04:22] hey guys, noticed the automatix2 is discontinued. is there an alternative, or an easy to use instruction page that would allow someone quick access to the win32 codecs, libdvdcss, flash, truetype, etc? [04:22] CD has 1000 packages? [04:22] :( [04:22] thanks blackhead [04:22] wow [04:22] how do I get update-manager to use a custom directory for temporary files? [04:22] nickrud: but the manifestation of this problem is that it just sits there, on the first screen after you click "upgrade", "downloading file 1 of 2" [04:22] Hi, just upgraded and I've noticed that now my power button and closing the lid on my laptop don't do anything? The event gets logged in /var/log/acpid but nothing happens. This is on a dell inspiron 6000 any ideas? [04:22] ere4si should I download the desktop version and reinstall? [04:22] im using 20GB older hard-disk type there may be any problem with that one [04:23] or is there a way to select that during the install? [04:23] Mythril: you can use rsync locally as well as remotely (via SSH) [04:23] calc im using 20GB older hard-disk type there may be any problem with that one [04:23] pipegeek hm. I didn't realize it did that ... I had to change mine to get any speed. Didn't have any holdups [04:23] so cube effects work with flash videos, but not stuff in mplayer. how do i fix that? (yes i googled for it already) [04:23] Mythril: and it's already installed. man rsync [04:23] anyone have any idea? [04:23] here's a question: what is the equivalent of uTorrent on ubuntu? [04:23] dini: not sure, if your computer is slow overall it will make everything slow including browsing though, not much that can be helped with that software-wise [04:23] avayanis_: you can boot the server cd - choose rescue - then sudo apt-get install linux-image-386 [04:23] iDN: transmission [04:23] i want to use ubuntu for my server, but it has caused nothing but problems.. i get hundreds of locale and perl warnings, postgres doesnt work, there arent any logs, nothing is working, simply put. is there any reason why fresh installs of ubuntu would be so shit right out of the box? [04:23] Does someone have any idea as to how this can be solved: [04:23] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [04:23] E: Unable to lock the list directory [04:24] Mythril: (sorry last one :) ) there is also grsync which is a graphical frontend to it, and some others. [04:24] arbir_ you can't use a fat 32 partition probably. [04:24] skuller: are you running with sudo? [04:24] tarkus: it depends. Was it 7.10 or 8.04? [04:24] oh thanks for ur information [04:24] sahak: thanks. it has upload support, right? [04:24] Kl4m: thank you [04:24] Starnestommy: 7.10 [04:24] nickrud: which partition [04:24] ere4si: thanks, I will go try that now [04:24] chubs730: Its synaptic package manager [04:24] nickrud: huh. It finally got past that point.... the strace output shows about 500 calls to read, all of them returning EAGAIN [04:24] iDN: yes [04:24] dont tell me I need to format and start over just because Hardware Drivers no longer wants to show my nvidia driver. [04:24] Skuller you have another manager open [04:24] i think i will stick with 7.10 for now [04:24] Skuller, do you have more than one package manager happenong at the same time? [04:24] Skuller or the update manager is running in the background [04:24] are the repos for hardy down or something ? [04:24] Mythril, nom [04:24] after trying to enable all the repositories, multiverse, universe etc... when I reload synaptic or the Add/Remove program, the reloading fails at Translation_En what's happening? [04:24] skuller: is there another package manager running? [04:24] until maybe i really need to update it [04:24] hey calc ru using torrent now days [04:24] kelvin911, hahah, you wil regret [04:24] IcemanV9, i got some dependecy errors [04:24] ok. thank you! are you israeli accidentally, sahak ? [04:24] ? [04:25] kelvin911, lol [04:25] juano__: a lot of the servers are having load problems with all the updates [04:25] damn [04:25] iDN: Armenian :) [04:25] dini: i downloaded the dvd before it was released and then just rsync'd it [04:25] chubs730: No, only one [04:25] icesword: hey u [04:25] juano__: the main servers are under heavy pressure. use a local (non-us, non-uk) one if you can [04:25] icesword: why regret? [04:25] dini: it was already up to date so it didn't download anything at all [04:25] nickrud it finally scanned the mirror [04:25] pipegeek to be honest that's over my head. [04:25] Kl4m i just ping all servers [04:25] kelvin911, it is cool, compiz is default in hardy [04:25] iDN: but sahak is a Jewish name (comes from itzhak) [04:25] nickrud: thanks anyhow [04:25] Kl4m: lol, silly me :) your right [04:25] try the canadian arctic one, i'm getting 830K/s [04:25] Kl4m: thanks [04:25] icesword: compiz also default in gutsy [04:25] pipegeek I do obvious shti ;) [04:25] Hey, anyone using a Mac / vmware + ubuntu 8.04 ?

[04:26] hey calc come to the private chat room [04:26] hah. "Can't install ubuntu-desktop. File this as a bug." [04:26] generally if you download the test image from the day or two before release it will have little if anything to update via rsync to have the final image [04:26] after trying to enable all the repositories, multiverse, universe etc... when I reload synaptic or the Add/Remove program, the reloading fails at Translation_En what's happening? [04:26] Fa - natural / without vmware ? [04:26] dini: which one? [04:26] man hardy feels alot lighter then previous aditions [04:26] yes i believe so [04:27] iDN: no, I am not Jewish. I am Armenian. [04:27] sahak: is it contradictory? :O [04:27] kelvin911, not now [04:27] nks_: yes, you can [04:27] hey calc come the private chat room [04:27] people please- off TOPIC [04:27] people please- off TOPIC [04:27] after trying to enable all the repositories, multiverse, universe etc... when I reload synaptic or the Add/Remove program, the reloading fails at Translation_En what's happening? [04:27] dini: you didn't tell me which one to come to, so how can I read your mind? [04:27] hey, could anyone help me install hardy? :( [04:27] WOW, i never knew that - I always thought you needed vmware - Would you happen to know if there's support for the internal camera?

[04:28] next, next, english, us, finish [04:28] Hi, just upgraded and I've noticed that now my power button and closing the lid on my laptop don't do anything? The event gets logged in /var/log/acpid but nothing happens. This is on a dell inspiron 6000 any ideas? [04:28] rainrunner87: yes [04:28] Hey guys, when I idle and come back to my computer the "X" process is at around 100% processor usage, what gives? [04:28] rainrunner87: The repos are being hammered, it's normal, just be patient [04:28] rainrunner87: the servers are having load problems due to 8.04's release [04:28] rainrunner87: they are being hammered right now [04:28] iDN: what? having a Jewish name? not really. many Armenians have Jewish names. [04:28] Translation-en_US fails!? [04:28] just right click on my name and select private chat [04:28] help? [04:28] Kay, good to know. [04:28] Thought so. [04:28] you lazy guys, should have downloaded the iso yesterday, HAH! [04:28] I need to image an NTFS partition across my network. I've tried partimage, but I just get 'version does not match' but I just installed both client and server. What else can I use? [04:28] The server is getting laggy. [04:28] iDN: are you Jewish? [04:28] arbir_ sudo parted /dev/sdb , not sdb1 [04:28] package. [04:29] x1250: yep :) [04:29] btw ? Compiz and Beryl are BEAutiful on Hardy, it's giving me a ... nevermind [04:29] x1250: thats what i did :) [04:29] nickrud: the device is /dev/sdb1 [04:29] Right now i'm trying to install languages and its only sending 1000+b/s [04:29] anyone have a "X" process problem? [04:29] how beautiful? [04:29] Thank you -Fa [04:29] anyone else had sound problems with hardy? [04:29] nickrud: why do you say just sdb ? [04:29] yw [04:29] any hardy screenshot or youtube video? [04:29] had anyone had* [04:29] IS that even normaL? === Andres_ is now known as RoAk [04:29] arbir_ arbir_ first, because the instructions pointed to that. Second, the boot sector isn't in dev/sdb1, but on /dev/sdb [04:30] arbir_ and third, I just tested it :) [04:30] sahak: no, i thought you were implying that being jewish and being armenian is contradictory. apparently, it was a misunderstanding. and yes, i am jewish. :) [04:30] nickrud: so what exactly is /dev/sdb ? [04:30] kelvin911: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/ [04:30] Gah.... should have uninstalled OpenArena before dist-upgrading.... X-) === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [04:30] nickrober, i am, seems that pulseaudio is still broken maybe [04:30] hey, whenever I run apt-get install something on 8.04, I get a bunch of perl locale errors [04:30] CaptainMorgan are you behind a proxy? [04:30] Okay, this is just ridiculous. The upgrade tool says my system is up to date, and I'm certainly not running hardy. [04:30] anyone seen this : "Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8" ? [04:30] 271MB over a crawling server..... [04:30] Utalcn2me: what happens with your sound? no sound, scratchy, skips? [04:30] nickrud: should i make a ext3 partition ? [04:30] arbir_ the device itself. sdb1 is the first partition on the device. There's always some empty space at the beginning of the device (outside of sdb1) for the mbr and boot flag [04:31] harriseldon, no... but I waited it out... out of 62 files, it finally downloaded the pacakages..... however Tranlation-en_US(4 of them) explicitly Fail [04:31] dini: i can't see your messages (i guess?) since you are probably not a registered user on freenode [04:31] Hi, I downloaded & burned the i386 DVD version today - Just did a live boot - Doesn't look much different than the Final release. - Is the difference - that it would have much packages installed so there would not be as many updates to install as doing a CD install? [04:31] most popular channel on freenode. [04:31] lol server is going to get overloaded [04:31] word. [04:31] nickrober, no volume control for my usb headphones, other than that, everything works with ac97 sound. [04:31] arbir_ haven't read the instructions for what you are installing. But I was able to toggle the boot flag by doing sudo parted /dev/sdb with my usbstick [04:31] Which Ubuntu image should I use for an Intel Core 2 Quad system--AMD64 or i386? [04:31] I have a huge problem with my X process here guys [04:31] more [04:31] dini: you have to be registered and identified to send private messages [04:31] Heylo, I installed wubi on win98, and X is like reaaaallly slow, and I see nothing except the 'x' cursor and the background [04:32] CaptainMorgan according to this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+question/11830 it is connection related -- could be increased traffic [04:32] so what should i do for that [04:32] !register > dini [04:32] Utalcn2me: oh, mine is just scratchy, like using distortion with an electric guitar [04:32] calc: thats it? [04:32] nickrud: i am happy.. but just to know, should i keep the USB stick's partition as FAT32 or shall i change it to EXT3 ? [04:32] bthornton: amd64 would probably work better for you, especially if you have a lot of ram [04:32] how to register [04:32] dini: msg nickserv [04:32] arbir_ what instructions are you following? [04:32] dini: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup [04:32] dini: see ubotu private message. [04:32] calc: there is no different from gutsy? [04:32] anyone know how to access the compiz settings in hardy? [04:32] groovy, thanks! [04:32] kelvin911: some differences but not a lot of visible ones [04:32] arbir_ avoid ext3 on flash (journaling causing extra disk writes) [04:32] Is there a program for doing sound captures of whatever is playing on the computer? [04:32] nickrud: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick <--preparing using the shell script there [04:33] nickrober, try turning down pcm maybe, i notice mine distorts when its too high. [04:33] calc: for example? [04:33] kelvin911: the gui looks roughly the same as it has for the past 4 years, it is Gnome after all [04:33] anachronoks: Go to Add/Remove and install Advanced Desktop Effects. [04:33] Can someone who has a little experience with GRUB help me out? I need help with fixing the following bug filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/214736 [04:33] i want to use ubuntu for my server, but it has caused nothing but problems.. i get hundreds of locale and perl warnings, postgres doesnt work, there arent any logs, nothing is working, simply put. is there any reason why fresh installs of ubuntu would be so shit right out of the box? its the ubuntu server version, and its 7.10 (gutsy) [04:33] !wubi [04:33] wubi is Wubi advice here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 and http://wubi-installer.org [file wubi bugs here: https://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug ] (it is included in hardy 8.04 beta CD and will be in the final release) [04:33] kelvin911: OOo 2.4.0 instead of 2.3.0 [04:33] harriseldon: then ext2 is fine ? [04:33] kelvin911: gnome 2.22.1 instead of 2.20.1 [04:33] wonder if my isp is throttling torrent or this ubuntu torrent is slooow [04:33] i bet the ubuntu torrent is slow, its release date [04:33] nhaines: okay great, thank you [04:33] Prez00: It was pretty slow for me. [04:33] Prez00, the DVD? [04:33] kelvin911: there is a release notes document somewhere that probably lists more stuff [04:33] I have a huge problem with my X process here guys [04:33] Utalcn2me: i have the volume really low, but it's scratchy constantly, someone else with a computer similar to mine has the same problem on the forums so i guess i'll just wait for a fix :( [04:33] tarkus: That's really strange. My Ubuntu install works fine with Perl stuff, and I'm not using Postgres, but MySQL runs fine. [04:33] So, how does the upgrade tool determine which version of ubuntu you have installed? It thinks I already have Hardy, and it's dead wrong. [04:34] arbir_ that should be fine -- are you doing full install to usb or just using a writable partition? [04:34] regular CD [04:34] "enable automatic login" doesn't work(xubuntu) . any ideas? [04:34] anyone know the deal about usb persist in the hardy kernel? === gbs is now known as fserve_ [04:34] if i update gutsy to hardy, do i have to setup my theme again? [04:34] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/197166 [04:34] pipegeek: what does lsb_release -a say? [04:34] hey all [04:34] arbir_ leave it at fat16, per the instructions === fserve_ is now known as fserve_note [04:34] kelvin911: No. [04:34] RyanPrior: Gutsy [04:34] i dont wanna lose all my current theme setting and icon settings and etc [04:34] RyanPrior: Ubuntu 7.10 [04:34] anyone got md5sums for the hardy DVD iso's? I can't reach cdimage.ubuntu.com at the moment and I want to check if my torrented files are correct [04:34] harriseldon: i am making a USB stick as my install media for Ubuntu [04:35] pipegeek: lsb_release -r [04:35] can anyone please tell me how to force a resolution in this new xorg server? it isn't letting me edit the xorg.conf as much as i used to. [04:35] alright nickrud let me try... :-) [04:35] harriseldon: 7.10 [04:35] how can i clean out all my temp files [04:35] if anyone can help me with my X Process high usage problem please PM me [04:35] arbir_ then ext2 should be fine [04:35] so did anyone else have the problem with hardy heron on startup when splash hang [04:35] something like ccleaner.... for linux [04:35] but I'm being told there are no upgrades available. [04:35] hey, how big should my swap partition be? [04:35] zcat[1], torrent do checksums automatically, but hang on [04:35] how do I tell apt to find the fastest mirror again? [04:35] i have the same questions abour tmp dir and files [04:35] pipegeek: That is very strange. I don't know what the package manager decides based on, but it's clearly screwed up somehow. [04:35] d4t4min3r: rm -rf /tmp/*, but I wouldn't suggest it, many programs use temp space while they are running [04:35] when i create it using fdisk, i get different names, when i use parted i dont get such weird names.. what should i use ? [04:36] do i have to clean them manually? [04:36] ext2 is crap [04:36] RyanPrior: suggestions? :-\ [04:36] use ext3 [04:36] d4t4min3r: the temp directory is cleared out every time you reboot. [04:36] heyy, i am having troubles, iv just installed emerald theme manager [04:36] d4t4min3r: try sudo apt-get autoclean [04:36] pipegeek: No clue at all. [04:36] but somehow i cant get any theme to work :s [04:36] n000b: welcome! [04:36] mvinsc: 2gb's or less [04:36] mvinsc: tradition says twice your ram, but if you have >=2GB I wouldn't do more that the amount of ram you have [04:36] i installed some themes but when i try to use them no change :s [04:36] RodGo: what do u mean? [04:36] loufoque: in this context ext2 should work as well, its a readonly system [04:36] pipegeek did you look at the screenshots at this site http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading do they match what you see? [04:36] i installed emerald theme manager [04:36] RodGo: i have install that as well, no problem [04:36] if anyone can help me with my X Process high usage problem please PM me [04:36] can anyone tell me how to access files on an external harddrive that are in the windows file system? [04:36] mvinsc: I have 2GB of ram and 1.5GB of swap, which I never actually use [04:36] but when i try to change to any theme [04:36] if you use less than the amount of ram you have you may not be able to hibernate, depending on system usage [04:36] ok. thanks [04:36] nothing happends :s [04:36] zcat[1]: When go to burn your DVD image - I believe your burner program will do a checksum before it burns - if that's off it will not burn. [04:36] assuming you want to be able to hibernate [04:36] RodGo: u need to run a command to tell ubuntu to use emerald [04:36] if anyone can help me with my X Process high usage problem please PM me [04:36] owen1: hey [04:37] what command? [04:37] RodGo: wait [04:37] nickrober, i cant even figure out what soundserver hardy is using - alsa i think - or maybe osd [04:37] hu thank goodness I finally fisinh install everything I need [04:37] n000b what do you mean windows file system? fat32 or ntfs? [04:37] n000b: crazy, ah? [04:37] Utalcn2me: it's pulseaudio now [04:37] ntfs [04:37] if anyone can help me with my X Process high usage problem please PM me [04:37] ubuntu server seem slow [04:37] RodGo: emerald --replace & disown [04:37] !repeat | WhoNeedszzz [04:37] WhoNeedszzz: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [04:37] HayHay: I can generate the md5sum of the isos I have here.. I want to know what the correct ones should be so I know my files are complete [04:37] owen1: yeah a little too fast [04:37] * nickrud goes back to disk/partition school [04:37] i need to run that everytime? [04:37] Utalcn2me, nickrober: Hardy us using the PulseAudio sound server. [04:37] RodGo: no just one time thing [04:37] harriseldon: yes [04:38] Adlai, but when i start paman or pavucontrol, there is nothing. [04:38] WhoNeedszzz: you could try logging out and in again, but you should check what extensions you are using [04:38] zcat[1]: sorry can't help with that. [04:38] HayHay: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [04:38] Flannel, no one can see what i'm saying bc too many people are talking. My repetition is justified [04:38] I'm trying to run open office calc via ssh and I get the following on one of my machines: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display: Any ideas why this is? It works fine on another machine. [04:38] Ok. So, I was messing around in the advanced settings of compiz fusion. I didn't change anything major, but it kicked me back to the login screen a couple times, so I put the effects back to simple. Now, whenever I open windows, they leave behind a "ghost" image of themeslves [04:38] n000b: try mount -t ntfs-3g [04:38] RodGo: if u dont like emerald, to switch back, gtk-window-decorator --replace & disown [04:38] WhoNeedszzz: how much memory is it using? [04:38] n000b: maybe describe the problem u have. [04:38] pipegeek: did you click on the upgrade button next to new distribution available? [04:38] Utalcn2me: I don't know the pulseaudio control programs, does anyone else know? [04:38] Highly Annoying. Any thoughts? [04:38] WhoNeedszzz: People can use their scrollback buffer to read your question as well. [04:38] n000b: with the folders. [04:38] RodGo: work there? [04:38] Starnestommy: how much memory is what using? [04:38] compaqr4000: ssh -X into your remote host. [04:38] WhoNeedszzz: X [04:38] harriseldon: yes. [04:38] zcat[1]: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/MD5SUMS [04:38] RodGo: in ccsm you can set it up to use emerald [04:38] nhaines: yeah, but it seems to be broken for me [04:39] nikitis: what the heck is that [04:39] pipegeek: what happened when you clicked the upgrade button? [04:39] Kl4m: DVD images. [04:39] * calc uses /lastlog foo :-) [04:39] how you mount your external windows drive [04:39] n000b: it's a way to mount drives in linux. [04:39] nikitis: i think it is automount [04:39] I don't remember who was asking about finding the fastest mirror, but it's netselect that you want to use, I believ [04:39] zcat[1]: did you use a torrent. If so, then it's validated by the torrent protocol. [04:39] oh the distro upgrade? yeah its kinda broken for me as well. Probably due to server load [04:39] RodGo: I believe you can do it under window decorations or some plugin. I'm not using compiz at the moment though. [04:39] Starnestommy: how do i know? [04:39] kelvin911: not always [04:39] hopefully you will see that [04:39] n000b: in linux u need to mount drives sometimes. [04:39] I had to try a few times before it let me through [04:39] Kl4m: which are on cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/MD5SUM but it just times out for me here.. can anyone else reach it? [04:39] Kl4m: system > administration > system monitor [04:39] nikitis: usually external drives mount as soon as you plug them in [04:39] kelvin911: some external drives don't automount [04:39] nikitis: it will be if u edit fstab [04:39] er... [04:40] WhoNeedszzz: system > administration > system monitor [04:40] owen1: how do you mount the drive again [04:40] they do [04:40] nikitis: they do all automount [04:40] n000b: let me see his reply. [04:40] harriseldon: it sat there for about 10 minutes doing nothing. Then, I got a dialog which described the upgrade, and I clicked "upgrade" in that window. Then, another 10 minute wait. Then the upgrade began, and I was told that it couldn't install ubuntu-desktop, and that this was a bug. I reran the upgrade tool, and this time, after I got to that point, I was told hardy was already installed. [04:40] compaqr4000 is x11 forwarding setup correctly on both machines? [04:40] nikitis: how do you mount the drive again [04:40] kelvin911: i have one in particular I have to manually mount it [04:40] nikitis: make sure u unplug safely in windows [04:40] owen1: ok [04:40] Adlai, my pulseaudio device chooser in xubuntu doesnt even start when selected [04:40] is anyone able to download from the USA server ? [04:40] i'm totally making out with ubuntu. right now. [04:40] Starnestommy: 0 right now, sleeping [04:40] mount -t ntfs-3g [04:40] any one help me figure out how i can make it so my computer will play dvd's [04:40] juano__: the US server is the same server as the main one (its in London) [04:40] whoa! sys monitor looks really nice! :-) [04:40] juano_:not i [04:40] n000b: type this: mount -t ntfs-3g [04:41] nikitis: if u just unplug it in windows without safely unplug, u cant plug the external drive in ubuntu [04:41] hello [04:41] nikitis: i tried that b4 [04:41] !md5sums [04:41] juano__: use something other than us.archive.ubuntu.com if that is the one you are trying [04:41] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [04:41] juano__: its probably just slow right now. Everyone's downloading hardy =D [04:41] it says its using the au sever are any others owrking? [04:41] Starnestommy: it kicks in when i idle [04:41] i know everyone's really busy right now w/ hardy's release, but does anyone have experience with crashes using ATI's BigDesktop? [04:41] i can't tell you how amazed i am at how well hardy is working on my laptop, after all the trouble i went through with feisty [04:41] talcite: yes, oh there we go, now it started to download [04:41] zcat[1] http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases/8.04/ has the md5sums [04:41] juano__: I'm using one in Quebec. It seems to work well [04:41] WhoNeedszzz: are you using compiz? [04:41] harriseldon: I can assume it is on the server as I can run it on another machine with no issues [04:41] owen1: what do i put in place of device and dir? [04:41] n000b: replace the device with the name of the harddrive, and dir is any directory. [04:41] everything works out of the box, a first for me [04:41] talcite: ok, thanks will try [04:41] of the DVD images?!!! [04:41] how do i change the server i use for synaptic? [04:41] Starnestommy: nope, nvidia geforce 8600 gts with binary driver [04:41] Could anyone help me with setting xorg right for transperency, i have nvdia and im using xcompmgr. Everything is fine, but its really slow. I added the option for nvdia, still slow. [04:41] libxcb: WARNING! Program tries to unlock a connection without having acquired [04:41] a lock first, which indicates a programming error. [04:42] n000b: create an empty dir, i think. [04:42] yes. everything's perfect, but the right screen, if clicked on the desktop, causes Xorg to die with an error message [04:42] hello all. having problems doing network upgrade (from gutsy). in montreal. get an Error during update message - connection timeouts from ca.archive.ubuntu.com [04:42] mgmz: System > Administration > Software Sources [04:42] owen1: did you get your question answered?

Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the closest mirror to you automatically [04:42] Starnestommy: so what does that tell u? [04:42] how to reset my password in nickserv [04:43] I should have grabbed them first, I know.. I didn;t expect the server to get hammered to the point that I can't even reach it at all! [04:43] how to reset my password in nickserv [04:43] n000b: no. i wanted to follow you first. it's exciting to help people get into open source. [04:43] dini, Ask in #freenode [04:43] hey all .. i was wondering .. can you setup a linux server to connect on PPoE and use it as a gate way for other computers with internet ip addresses behind it ? [04:43] dini: go to #freenode and ask a staff member [04:43] hello ubunteros ;) [04:43] Hikejink: thanks, thought by this evening this would have settled down but I guess not. [04:43] ffm_: Thank you, I'm aware. :) === runlevel is now known as cannabis [04:43] nhaines, Try maybe another mirror? [04:43] !repeat > dini, [04:43] hmm... it seems that /boot is full [04:43] yahoo finally its copying my ubuntu image to the stick [04:43] WhoNeedszzz: I'm not sure [04:43] Hikejink: is there a way to upgrade from CDROM or ISO? [04:43] Could anyone help me with setting xorg right for transperency, i have nvdia and im using xcompmgr. Everything is fine, but its really slow. I added the option for nvdia, still slow. [04:43] Starnestommy: great [04:43] so no thoughts on dual screen w/ATI (BigDesktop)? [04:43] nhaines, MIT works for me, but I don't want to spead that around... [04:43] ffm_: I'm not the one having trouble. [04:43] hey does anyone know how to get the wireless or ndiswrapper to work again in 8.04??? [04:43] anacaona, To Upgrade from the CD/ISO, you'll need the alternate ISO or the DVD: run cdromupgrade from the root of the CD/ISO/DVD. If you don't want to/can't burn a disc, you can 'mount -o loop nameofiso /path/to/mount/' [04:43] any ideas about what I can remove? [04:43] nikitis: did u solve your external hd mounting problem? [04:43] anyone know why the X process usage skyrockets after idling? [04:43] talcite: 8| how much space did you gave it? [04:44] Jack_Sparrow tag [04:44] nhaines, Sorry. [04:44] where can i find the md5 checksums for 8.04 iso's ? [04:44] were can i find a mirror for sources.list ? [04:44] n000b: btw, u can get help on commands like this: man [04:44] I have a laptop that is a Gateway with AMD Turion 64 mobile technology. But does it matter which version of 8.04 I download? Is one better than the other for stability, etc.? [04:44] Oh well, I'll just assume they're correct [04:44] ffm_: Not a problem. [04:44] owen1: what do you mean the harddrive name? [04:44] Kl4m: 32mb I believe [04:44] thanks DBautell, I'll give that a try. [04:44] hey guys, "apt-file search libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3" returns nothing... i need the file to use realvnc properly [04:44] how to set password in nickserv [04:44] is there an LTS related mailing list? [04:44] nickrud, Howdy... [04:44] anacaona: yes, of course. Look at the room topic, there is a link to a torrent to download an ISO [04:44] zcat[1] the disk check will tell you ;) [04:44] n000b: good question. [04:44] compaqr4000 are you connecting from linux clients to the server? [04:44] anyone know why the X process usage skyrockets after idling? [04:44] black_13: rebuild one with synaptic (repositories menu item) [04:44] WhoNeedszzz: screensaver?? [04:44] nickrud: yes, doing that now...

[04:45] techno_freak: thank you [04:45] is synaptic not downloading because of the high use of the servers? [04:45] harriseldon: yes, all 8.04 [04:45] WhoNeedszzz: that might be the reason [04:45] Kl4m, please excuse my ignorance but what is synaptic? [04:45] nickrober: Probably. [04:45] owen1: yes i do [04:45] dini: I think you may need to use a different nickname [04:45] yes synaptic is not downloading for me either, i gave up on it [04:45] nickrober, yes, might be, try the nearest server [04:45] black_13: It is a graphical interface for the Ubuntu package manager. [04:45] IcemanV9: why? [04:45] WhoNeedszzz: it is being idle and screensaver kicks in [04:45] Hi - during the boot sequence ubuntu fails during the "loading hardware drivers" portion. How do I fix it?

[04:46] can someone help me with my wireless issue? [04:46] Updated this machine last night.. three others won't even apt-get update ... I think I'll just wait a few days :( [04:46] dini: /nick , then /msg nickserv register [04:46] black_13: Then Synaptic will not be installed. But you said you did not understand what it was? [04:46] IcemanV9: what is normal? [04:46] owen1: im in windows right now [04:46] I wonder if Shuttleworth will be able to deal with new users. [04:46] !wireless [04:46] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:46] Hi. I was wondering is the new release dist-upgrade friendly? [04:46] dini: next time I'm calling for a kick. [04:46] mglukhovsky: surprise [04:46] hey, man [04:46] wthww, yes [04:46] when I use firefox in hardy, everything is set so small because it is not using the correct DPI. Is there a way to set the DPI so that it respects my settings. layout.css.dpi doesn't work. [04:46] !upgrade > wthww [04:46] i wish the normal cd installer would create lvm's [04:46] n000b: i thought u got only harddrive. and ubuntu machine. [04:47] i inferred that it was probably needed xorg [04:47] YAY! finally got cdimage to load.. md5's are correct!! [04:47] EruditeHermit: Appearance/Fonts [04:47] dini, You will need your old password to reset the account or you will need to see freenode staff [04:47] ok. SO I have a frsh install of hardy ^_^. Anyways, I started messing around in some of the advanced features of compiz like desktop cube and whatnot (nothing major). Anyways, I've never had a problem with it in the past, but it kicked me back to the login screen a couple of times. So, I put the settings back to "Simple". Now, whenever I open a window, it leaves a "ghost" image of it's "glide" effect. [04:47] n000b: so u have dual boot? [04:47] WhoNeedszzz: that the box is idling for a long time and screensaver kicks in. so it causes the process high in top [04:47] hmm, does anyone know if there is a release schedule for the first Hardy point release? [04:47] wthww: sorry, this is outdated [04:47] sahak: it is set to my correct value but firefox isn't showing large fonts [04:47] anyone else has been experiencing numerous crashes in firefox? [04:47] owen1: no i have a live ubuntu cd [04:47] crashes or heavy slowdowns [04:47] why does my update blocks always on the last file (the .deb for transmission) ??? i tried many times but still the same... what could i do? [04:47] loufoque, its been there for since i started using FF3 [04:47] n000b: oh. [04:47] wthww: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades?highlight=(hardyupgrades) [04:47] IcemanV9: the screensaver kicks in after 10 minutes but the problem won't occur unless it idles for at least 8 hours [04:47] Kl4m: I already know how to upgrade, The last time I used dist-upgrade on ubuntu (6.06) it messed up, and I learnt the joys of gentoo =p [04:48] EruditeHermit: I don't know then [04:48] Has anyone had ubuntu fail during the "loading hardware drivers" portion of boot? [04:48] Kl4m: Yeah, I gave /boot 32megs. Is there anything I can remove from it to give it more space? [04:48] compaqr4000 have you looked at this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/136947 there are tips there for debug and possible fixes [04:48] loufoque, especially when you open flash [04:48] loufoque : nothing yet, but I heven't installed flash yet XD [04:48] talcite: remove all the unused kernels [04:48] n000b: what ever u'r doing i think u should be in the ubuntu. [04:48] black_13: It does. [04:48] wthww: the upgrade should be solid now. I had problems with 6.10 too [04:48] owen1: can you wait for me to get into ubuntu [04:49] owen1: it should take about 7-8 minutes [04:49] harriseldon: no, I've not but I will now! Thanks! [04:49] sure. i might be eating dinner. but i'll try to be here. [04:49] WhoNeedszzz: well. i wouldn't worry about it. you can post it in the forums and see what others have to say about it. [04:49] When I'm trying to upgrade using the alternate CD ROM (mounted ISO), the "Distribution Upgrade" dialog stops responding at the first stage. [04:49] 5-6 of them will be spent staring at "windows is shutting down" [04:49] Is this normal? [04:49] hey can anyone help me with the wireless issue; i have an intel pro Wireless card; http://pastebin.com/m345c85a4, and I can't get it to work since the update [04:49] owen1: ill meet you in xubuntu [04:49] Kl4m: will do. Thanks [04:49] IcemanV9: it is a major problem and i have posted in the forums. Nobody responded [04:49] nhaines, can you think of a mirror ? [04:50] owen1: if thats ok === ryan__ is now known as RadiantFire [04:50] Kl4m: The used ones are in menu.lst right? [04:50] black_13: No, I don't know of any that aren't saturated, I'm afraid. [04:50] talcite: private chat for discussion about what can be removed without alarming anyone here. [04:50] Hey All - I did an update from a beta version a while ago, but "nvidia" X drivers won't install (I'm using the "nv" now). I'm trying to figure out what's going on now. Is this "common"? [04:51] lol ok [04:51] n000b: has problem mounting external HD? [04:51] mattycoze are restricted drivers active? [04:51] n000b: my wife will be mad but i'll try to be here. [04:51] n000b: no worries [04:51] kelvin911: uyes [04:51] nickrud: i keep getting this error... [04:51] Copying live image to USB stick [04:51] cp: failed to preserve ownership for `/media/usbdev.XS7902/README.diskdefines': Operation not permitted [04:51] n000b: what's the problem there? [04:51] harriseldon i had a look at that; but i'm not sure whether it worked, can you walk me throught the process? [04:51] owen1: ok thanks man [04:52] (and also to check whether it was automatically activated?) [04:52] so anybody updated from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS and like to share an experience? [04:52] does anyone else no about the X process high usage? [04:52] know* [04:52] kelvin911: i have an external usb hdd under windows file system that i cant open on ubuntu [04:52] mattycoze I will try my best. First, can you get into the restricted drivers manager? [04:53] n000b: did u just unplug it from XP? [04:53] kelvin911: vista [04:53] does anyone else know about the X process high usage? [04:53] n000b: did u goto remove USB device in vista? [04:53] Heh. I love ubuntu, and I've been using it since warty.... but I've yet to get an upgrade to work. And I cannot convince update-manager that it needs to do its job and upgrade me to hardy. It thinks it already has. [04:53] n000b: You can't just randomly unplug USB devices from your computer. [04:53] n000b: Not storage devices, anyway. [04:53] For an OS that releases every six months, this is a little sillly [04:53] when i google for mirrors i get download mirros that is places for isos [04:54] n000b: u have to do Remove USB device in windows, then ubuntu can auto mount your external [04:54] Well 8.04 officially screwed up everything I had going for me. Sweet. [04:54] bleh. upgrades never work for me. [04:54] harriseldon no, it's not in the menu [04:54] yippeeeee , USB installation works [04:54] USB key is amazingly fast, no more CD burning for mre [04:54] the installer hangs EVERY freaking time there's a new release. [04:54] n000b: try plug it back in to the windows, then remove the usb properly then ubuntu can detect it automatically [04:54] hey everybody, i have a problem with my on screen volume display, it used to be a small rectangle that appeared when i pressed the volume up button on my laptop, now it is a big square and i want to set it back [04:54] kelvin can we chat directly [04:54] n000b, You can force a mount, but way better to properly close it from windows, [04:54] harriseldon; if you mean "Hardware Drivers" i've got that up [04:54] after you've installed ubuntu hardy, how do you tell it to use the generic IDE driver? [04:55] n000b: or force mount [04:55] * grhluna hugs zoidberg [04:55] fiz1: You can o that by using Add/Remove and installing Advanced Desktop Effects. [04:55] n000b: i did that with my 3 external HD [04:55] harriseldon; by which in it i've only got the NVIDIA drivers working [04:55] fiz1: You can turn off the volume control plugin for Compiz there, I believe. [04:55] wow wine has gotten really good, didn't even have to mess with any configuration [04:55] does anyone else know about the X process high usage? [04:55] snadge, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:55] What does update-manager do that aptitude dist-upgrade doesn't? Is there a reason not to do that instead? [04:55] nhaines, i will try that, [04:55] kelvin911: how do i remove the hdd properly? [04:55] what is the name of the new clock applet package [04:56] mattycoze it may have changed names in hardy. do you see a placeholder for your 4965 wireless card? if so, is it checked? [04:56] ...Uuuummmm.... how can I stop all desktop icons from showing.... without making my background disapear? Thanks ;p [04:56] My GRUB menu still says 7.10. It's not functionally important, but I want to know how to fix it. [04:56] Jack_Sparrow: yeah but how do i tell it to use generic IDE? i can do it from the install cd.. but not sure what option to put in my menu.lst [04:56] pipegeek: update-manager passes everything over to a special release upgrade tool that does dependancy checking and so forth. [04:56] harriseldon no there is no placeholder for the card :( [04:56] Does anyone know about the color bug on hardy? I think it has something to do with either the nvidia driver or something similiar. [04:56] kelvin911:? [04:56] nhaines, how do i find a mirror any mirror whether or not its over burndened or not [04:56] n000b: in windows u see arrow icon in system tray? [04:57] snadge, all_generic_ide before splash quiet [04:57] kelvin911: no i dont [04:57] n000b: right click that, then choose whatever device or letter ur usb hd using. then click remove or whatever [04:57] nhaines: doesn't aptitude do dependency checking? Not to mention, update-manager seems to have screwed up again (happened for gutsy and for feisty, both times had to reinstall), and thinks it's already installed hardy, which it hasn't (no packages installed; lsb_release still says gutsy) === co is now known as Aby [04:57] Why do I keep seeing this message? It annoys me every time I try to upgrade packages... "The following packages have been kept back: gnome-themes-extras" [04:57] n000b: do u have your external plug into windows now? === Aby is now known as aszzzz [04:58] There is something wrong with the video playback on my system. I have hardy from RC fully updated. It has just recently 'broke' [04:58] I'm having problems with Samba and HH. I can have the network and the windows computers enumerated, but not their shares. There is no message saying that Ubuntu cannot access the shares. What's the deal? [04:58] ceil420: how are you upgrading? [04:58] kelvin911: no the usb hdd is not plugged into my pc [04:58] ubuntu is failing to upgrade :/ === aszzzz is now known as zowo [04:58] n000b: plug the external to windows now [04:58] x1250, it happens with `sudo apt-get upgrade` and with update-manager [04:58] <_Rambaldi_> i keep getting an error at start up Error activating XKB configuration. [04:58] kelvin911: done [04:58] pipegeek: the upgrade tool knows exactly what needs to be done to ensure a proper update, such as removing deprcated packages and so forth. [04:58] ceil420: try # aptitude full-upgrade [04:58] n000b: how many computer u have in front of u? [04:58] kelvin911: 1 [04:59] n000b: what? [04:59] black_13: I do not know, sorry. [04:59] can anyone share howto adjust brightness on a laptop lcd i can remember what commands are there to adjust brightness usin hardy heron btw thanks [04:59] anybody know where the clock applet stores its settings? [04:59] n000b: r u using windows now or ubuntu? [04:59] nhaines: but it's *wrong*. I mean, it clearly doesn't---it says no upgrade is necessary, and it's wrong about that. I don't know how it's checking. [04:59] kelvin911: windows [04:59] Hi there, Anyone know a good place to find out to set up Dan's Guardian internet filter app? === ionutjula is now known as fdd_ [04:59] nhaines, i dont see any kind of volume control plugin in the advanced settings manager for compiz [04:59] seems like I cant upgrade to 8.04 [04:59] n000b: i thought u have problem with ubuntu [04:59] I have three .odt files I saved as .doc files because I am going to bring them to another computer (Windows XP) to print. OO.o has different fonts than Windows, so how can I preserve the fonts I chose? [04:59] pipegeek: I understand that, but that doesn't change that dist-upgrade is not supported. [04:59] x1250, that's gonna let me get the package, but why is it forcing removal of a different one? "The following packages will be automatically REMOVED: gtk2-engines-spherecrystal" [04:59] nhaines: suggestions? [04:59] kelvin911: yes i do [05:00] n000b: and what is it? [05:00] ceil420: thats why it was kept back... because I needed a removal [05:00] n000b: u dual boot? [05:00] I/It [05:00] nhaines: is there some way at least that I could get debugging output from update-manager? It doesn't print anything to stdout [05:00] kelvin911: no i have a live cd [05:00] x1250, ah. cheers o/ [05:00] pipegeek: See what 'lsb_release -r' says, and set your /etc/apt/sources.list back to using gutsy repos. [05:01] nhaines: did, and did. No effect. [05:01] The name is Bray and I just converted from Windows. [05:01] n000b: whats the problem? [05:01] kelvin911: ubuntu is showing my folders as unrecognized documents [05:01] okay kids, I've just upgraded from ubuntu 7.10 on my gen 2 macbook pro.. and I had the madwifi wireless drivers working then -- could connect to wifi networks, all was gravy. I'm now in 8.04 [05:01] and I can't connect to wireless networks [05:01] How can I request that a program be added to the repos? [05:01] harriseldon; also check this http://pastebin.com/m503e74a3 i've added the ifconfig [05:01] doesn't recognize that I have a wireless card [05:01] kelvin911: in the external hdd [05:01] n000b: i dont get what u mean? [05:01] nhaines: lsb_release still says 7.10 [05:01] ceil420: A package is automatically removed when it was only a dependency on another package which was removed. It then becomes useless [05:01] What does it mean when I'm able to see the windows computers listed under network, but when I click on them, the shares are not enumerated and I do not receive an error message? [05:01] how would I go about enabling wireless? [05:01] mattycoze is your wireless recognized without restricted drivers? do you know how to check? [05:01] kelvin911: can we chat elsewhere pls [05:01] Kl4m, oh, i see [05:01] n000b: so u can see the files in your external in ubuntu? [05:02] n000b: whats the problem then? [05:02] harriseldon i don't think it is actually; i can't see the wirelss card in the network settings program, or get any access to my wireless network [05:02] n000b: did u register your nickname? [05:02] Ubuntu mirrors must be getting hit hard now? [05:02] kelvin911: my folders which contain the data I want to access are shown as files in ubuntu [05:02] how come after upgrading to hardy i have 4 linux's on my grub? [05:02] u need to register your nick so i can private chat with u [05:02] kelvin911: how do I register my nickname [05:02] I'm on a 30 megabit connection yet the Ubuntu 8.04 upgrade is only downloading at like 30kb/s [05:03] n000b: shown as filesm thats normal [05:03] n000b: whats the problem? [05:03] 30 megabit, niiice [05:03] if I install OpenOffice.org on a windows computer, will it have the same fonts the ubuntu version has? [05:03] bladezor: you and every other ubuntu user out there right now is hammering the servers. I'd consider 30kb/s fast =P [05:03] Is there any supported way to run this upgrade other than through update-manager, which is broken? [05:03] kelvin911: I dont know how else to say it [05:03] n000b: brb cooking [05:03] mattycoze hate to ask to this question, but is your wireless enabled on the laptop? I have a switch to turn my off and it is not recognized when it is off. [05:03] can i ssh to a machine that have wireless connection? [05:03] Hi, while using k3b for burning I had enabled "verify data" but it ejected the disc soon after writing the data . Now can I verify the written data separately ? [05:03] thezanke: the last kernel version stays so you can use it if the new one breaks for you [05:03] bladezor: thats because you should have download it yesterday. Today is release party! [05:03] fiz1: It looks like the volume control is actually a GNOME feature when compositing is enabled. There doesn't appear to be a way to disable it. [05:04] harriseldon yeah it's on mate :P [05:04] x1250: Yeah, shame on me :( [05:04] harriseldon: I've worked my way through your link and all is well. Thank you for the tip. [05:04] owen1 of course [05:04] sap, if you have an md5 hash of the data, you can compare that to the md5 hash of the disk [05:04] can anyone share howto adjust brightness on a laptop lcd i can remember what commands are there to adjust brightness usin hardy heron btw thanks [05:04] Kl4m, can i remove the options? and set my windows as primary? [05:04] or default [05:04] if I install OpenOffice.org on a windows computer, will it have the same fonts the ubuntu version has? [05:04] harriseldon: what ip should i use if i am behind a router? [05:04] bladezor, try downloading it using a torrent client, or from a different server, or both. [05:04] talcite, nope . the data is a tar archive backup of some of my song files :/ [05:05] harriseldon: don't i need static ip for ssh? [05:05] So is "gksudo 'sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade'" supposed to work? [05:05] bladezor, I'm nearly downloading with 90kb/s under a 2mbit line [05:05] sap: oh =/ [05:05] thezanke: you need to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file for this. Let me see the simplest way. [05:05] owen1 why do you need a static ip? are you using only preshared keys? [05:05] can someone direct me to a better totorial for fusion?trying to get the cube configured but seem to be doing something wrong [05:05] bladezor: you can change to another mirror [05:05] hello everybody, i am considering switching to ubuntu. i currently use windows (vista, unfortunately), and i was wondering, how jarring is the change? i am not good (at all) with computers, so how easy is it to install/use ubuntu? [05:05] try germany [05:05] why are all my apt-get commands stalling for a long time at connectiong to *.ubuntu.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) [05:05] talcite, this is weird the k3b knew it had to verify the data but still it ejected ...lol [05:05] milia__, I'll let it be, it fluctuates quite a bit. [05:05] led3234: what do you usually use your computer for? [05:05] So, as with every time I install Ubuntu, windows maximize to both my monitors instead of one. Is there a workaround? I recall with 7.04 I got lucky after a reboot and it started working properly. [05:05] x1250, yeah I didn't notice how [05:05] mostly stuff like word, powerpoint [05:06] harriseldon the card worked on the first fresh install of Hardy, and then when i restarted it wouldn't work [05:06] some profgramming too [05:06] which is kidna strange [05:06] and music [05:06] a bit [05:06] I'm having trouble with Samba. My windows computers are recognized, but when I click on them, they don't have shares. What's wrong? [05:06] I downloaded a GTK2 theme, and I dont know where to extract the folder included. anyone know where I extract it? [05:06] Does anyone know how to upgrade my nvidia drivers? [05:06] led3234: listening to music you mean? and what sorts of languages? [05:06] led3234: It's actually a quite pleasant change if you mostly do email, browse the Web, and do Office stuff. You can always download a Desktop CD and try things out a bit without installing. [05:06] Pokit: Drop it on the Themes window. [05:06] listening to music [05:06] bladezor, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [05:06] aAAs [05:06] and C++ and Python [05:06] harriseldon: don't know what preshared is. how do i connect to my server with no static ip? just use the ip i get form "whatismyip"? === milia__ is now known as milia [05:07] thezanke: first: do you use a RAID. if you don't know then no. [05:07] led3234: It'll be pretty smooth, but I agree with nhaines, grab the LiveCD and try it out. [05:07] oh ok, what is it? [05:07] i cant access the fedora channel ..... quick question, can I download Fedora on CD's and not DVD ? [05:07] Kl4m, nope.. just 2 sata [05:07] i just upgraded my kernel, and now my atheros card won't work [05:07] kelvin911:? [05:07] x1250, Hah a bunch of the servers are dead [05:07] mirrors* [05:07] i'm using madwifi from snapshot [05:07] when I try to use pulseaudio for sound it doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions? [05:07] led3234: It's a bootable CD that gives you a preview of Ubuntu without needing to install it. If you decide you like it, you can install it from Windows or from the demo environment itself. [05:07] kalimar, thanks [05:07] manuel__: yes, you can [05:07] Np [05:07] Kl4m windows takes all of my master drive ubuntu takes 1/2 my slave [05:07] when i do modprobe it said FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/net/ath_pci.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [05:08] what should i do ? [05:08] manuel__: you can get the latest respin with jigdo [05:08] can anyone tell me what advantage kubuntu has over ubuntu? [05:08] hi guys. [05:08] owen1 as long as you know the ip of the server, the ip of the client can be dynamic [05:08] n000b: as far as I know, the only huge difference is that it uses KDE instead of gnome [05:08] Samba trouble. My windows computers are recognized, but when I click on them, they are devoid of shares. What's wrong? [05:08] thezanke: in the first lines of the file /boot/grub/menu.lst (edit it as a superuser, see !sudo), change the line "default 0" to "default saved". Reboot, select Windows and from now on it will be the default [05:08] n000b: They're different. Neither has advantages per sey, just a matter of preference. [05:08] n000b: There are no advantages. It uses the KDE desktop environments instead of the GNOME desktop environment. It's just about preferences. They can both run run the same programs. [05:08] somebody updated to ubuntu 8.04? [05:08] n000b: its a preference thing. If you're used to KDE, then its better [05:09] oh ok, but i thought there was that new thing in the update (kubi, i think) that lets me run ubuntu from windows (as an application), should i try it? [05:09] talcite: I have to admit I have no idea what's that [05:09] maap_rj, i'm using updated version of hardy [05:09] I'm on HH at the moment. [05:09] led3234: Sure, but remember that by booting from the CD you can try it out just like booting from the Ubuntu CD. [05:09] when I try to use pulseaudio for sound, I get no sound. Any suggestions? [05:09] Ubuntu really needs a boot config editor. [05:09] Kl4m, can i hide my old kernel? idealy i would like to have only 2 options, ubuntu and Windows [05:09] is the 8.04 much better than 7.10? [05:09] talcite: its a download manager that a lot of distros are moving to. Its specialized for .isos. There's jigit in the backport repos [05:09] oops, [05:09] my laptop lcd is too dark after installing ubuntu hardy, i installed the nvidia driver and still very darl adjusting settings thru the nvidia panel makes it looks brighter but it does not look good , i remember there been some commands one can issue to lighten the screen brightness, can anyone refresh my memory on what those commands are, thanks [05:09] maap_rj: I think it is. [05:10] manuel__: ^ [05:10] talcite: yep I got it [05:10] maap_rj, so far so good [05:10] do i have to send for the livecd thing, or do i burn it onto a cd? [05:10] i cant figure out how to tell 8.04 to use the generic ide driver after its been installed.. the option i was told to put in menu.lst, comes up with file not found :/ [05:10] bladezor: if you find one good enough, dont tell anyone, heh [05:10] kelvin911: are you there? [05:10] can anybody help me to configure my wireless [05:10] anyone here from the philippines? i wish to ask a question [05:10] led3234: you can burn it, the download link should have the iso [05:10] oh ok [05:10] manuel__: k. Yeah, don't use jigdo jigdo. It doesn't work very well yet. Use jigit and then use jigdo-lite (I think that's what its called) [05:10] Is anyone an expert on Samba/network configuration? [05:10] thank you for the help [05:10] great, i intend to update my system during the weekend [05:10] talcite: ok thanks I'll try that [05:11] manuel__: np [05:11] im now gonna go try the wubi (just 'cause it is easier) [05:11] led3234: Flannel's and my pleasure. [05:11] owen1: are you here? [05:11] Kalimar have you checked #samba channel? [05:11] how come it says lirc is missing in synaptic? [05:11] thezanke: you can remove the group of lines for each entry you don't want around the end of that file (oh boy I shouldn't be telling you that) [05:11] Nope, is there one? [05:11] I really hope not be necessary re-configurate so many things manually [05:12] Kalimar yes it is on freenode as well, you just join it [05:12] Oh, nice. Thanks harriseldon. [05:12] i am unable to connect to the Internet in Hardy. Can someone help me out? [05:12] Kl4m, hahaha dont worry.. I am already backing menu.lst up and have my ultimate boot cd ready.. [05:12] thezanke: the best way is to remove the kernel packages using Synaptic. It's a good idea to leave the old one around for a week or so, just in case you find any bugs. :) [05:12] this is my first time using a IRC chat... lol it is cool [05:12] Larry: what does "ifconfig" say [05:12] er Lainy [05:13] thezanke: You can't remove them permanently, they'll show up as soon as you update your kernel again. What you want to do is remove old kernel packages, then those entries won't be there anymore. It's always a good idea to have two kernels (a known good one, and then the new one you just updated to) in case you find bugs [05:13] Really hating 8.04 atm. :\ [05:13] nhaines: do they become "autoremovable" after a while? [05:13] thezanke: Also, remember that PgDn will get you to the Windows XP entry quickly! Or, you can move Windows XP to the top and change the default boot option from "0" (first) to "1" (second). [05:13] cob: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4785960#post4785960 [05:13] Kl4m: it seems like they should be. :) But I don't recall. [05:13] thezanke: their advice is way better. [05:13] maap_rj: welcome [05:14] Lainy = ilych? [05:14] hi every1 [05:14] yes [05:14] Does anyone know if there is a release schedule for the first Hardy point release? [05:14] kelvin911, thanks a lot ;) [05:14] mattycoze sorry to leave you hanging. have you checked for errors in any of the system logs regarding your wireless. If it worked before, it seems to be a firmware loading issue. [05:14] mheath: Whenever its needed. [05:14] nah i havent harriseldon sok [05:14] can ubuntu 64bit will run on intel celeron d with 64bit architecture? [05:14] maap_rj: which client do u use ? [05:14] Lainy: have you already done a sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter and completed the install? [05:14] kelvin911: are you on yahoo [05:14] harriseldon; currently reading this; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Intel_4965_AGN_WiFi_Driver/Fiesty?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDriver) [05:14] does anyone know how to run a menu item with gksudo? [05:14] i've selected a .wav file to play as my login but it wont work, why is that? [05:14] Flannel, mheath: Actually, I believe it's in 3 months, then every 6 months thereafter. [05:15] n000b: no i dont use yahoo [05:15] mattycoze good luck I hope that works for you [05:15] cob: How do I apt-get without anInternet connection? [05:15] n000b: i have yahoo account but never use yahoo messenger [05:15] kelvin911: can i have your email addy? [05:15] nhaines: ah, thanks. :-) Gotta a kernel update I'm waiting on that didn't make it in before the freeze. [05:15] cob: Is there a way to install that offline? [05:15] use your wired connection [05:15] ricree what menu item? you have to find the command first [05:15] mheath: You won't have to wait forever. :) [05:15] n000b: kelvin911@hotmail.com, kelvin911@yahoo.com, kelvin911@gmail.com [05:15] I'm trying to do something in the users and groups program, but it is only letting me edit my own account. Is there an easy way to get it to run with gksudo [05:15] n000b: u can add my msn [05:16] can anyone tell me WHY Glipper is removed from the Add-Remove Programs?? [05:16] n000b: brb, cooking salmon [05:16] is there some reason why the What's New link isn't on the main ubuntu.com page? [05:16] cob: OK, I will try that. Is there anything else I should while I use a wired connection? [05:16] I should do* [05:16] james296: Search for it in synaptic. Or "clipboard manager" [05:16] I did!!!!!!!!!!! [05:16] james296: do you have the universe repository enabled? [05:16] ricree I sometime right-click on the menu item and create a launcher on the desktop, from there I can goto properties and under launcher tab -- command field, I can prepend gksudo [05:16] ricree: Use the "Unlock" button. [05:16] oh waity [05:16] ok [05:16] I have a problem with nautilus not showing thumbnails for video files..... anyone can help? Already increased file size in preview tab. It's been broken since alpha 4 for me. Looks like something is broken, maybe I have to reinstall some packages [05:17] can-t put resolution to 1280x1024, i installed already nvidia-glx-new any ideas _ [05:17] Lainy: I don't think so, but try an iwlist scan in a terminal once the fwcutter's installed [05:17] is there a channel for Network Manager? [05:17] So, as with every time I install Ubuntu, windows maximize to both my monitors instead of one. Is there a workaround? I recall with 7.04 I got lucky after a reboot and it started working properly. [05:17] see if your ssid shows up [05:17] hi [05:17] cob: Okay, thank you. [05:17] can anyone help me? [05:17] i have 1 question only. [05:17] nhaines and harriseldon: thank you for your help [05:17] joanjoseph: The one you already asked? [05:17] yez pawbie [05:18] I see. Then we're done here, no? [05:18] How can i make my Compiz Fusion work like it did in 7.10, like so that it does work, it says it can't enable the effects. [05:18] MachinTrucChose: No channel for network-manager but here. [05:18] !kontact [05:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about kontact - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:18] i've selected a .wav file to play as my login but it wont work, why is that? [05:18] thank you Kl4m, nhaines, and Flannel [05:18] about the ubuntu 64bit structure. and my processor is intel celeron d with 64bit architecture. would this be ok? [05:18] x1250, Heh my cancel button on my update manager isn't doing anything [05:19] i need advice from xperts [05:19] ricree: my pleasure. [05:19] joanjoseph: unless you have 4GB or more of ram, stick with x86 [05:19] joanjoseph: 64 = 64, so ya. Boot a live CD with a 64 bit build. [05:19] maccam94: Terrible advice [05:19] ah ok pawbie [05:19] tysm for your nice advice pawbie [05:19] my laptop lcd is too dark after installing ubuntu hardy, i installed the nvidia driver and still very darl adjusting settings thru the nvidia panel makes it looks brighter but it does not look good , i remember there been some commands one can issue to lighten the screen brightness, can anyone refresh my memory on what those commands are, thanks [05:20] i am trying to create a USB bootable from live cd of 8.04 .. will the process be same as gutsy ? [05:20] where can i find the hardy hashes? [05:20] Does Hardy come with B43 installed by default under the Restricted Drivers Manager? If so then my 4311 BCM chip should work fine right? [05:20] neon: dimming settings in power manager? [05:20] can anyone help me with my missing video thumbnails on nautilus ? [05:20] !md5sums > bbyever [05:20] I installed hardy and messed with the ati propietary driver, but still no luck with the black logout screen, then tried Envy, but then got a white screen ... then it appears that my mesa driver wont have direct rendering so compiz is gone. I tried to install again the ati driver through envy and manually, it says it installs but mesa remains, with no direct rendering. Anybody know how can I really install the ati driver or how can I restore direct r [05:20] endering with mesa ?? [05:20] Kl4m: the wiki hasnt been updated === ademan_ is now known as ademung [05:21] cob: tried that and it does not work [05:21] Hey guys, I am trying to connect to the internet using 7.04. It says the access concentrator did not respond. There is a switch with three things plugged in:- the dsl model, 2 pc's running 7.04 with one of them connected and the other not being able to connect. Any ideas? I have recently switched from XP and in XP I used to normally connect using pppoe from each pc using the same modem but not so with ubun [05:21] MrObvious: Yes, the driver is included but the firmware cannot be redistributed. Use a wired connection and the Hardware Drivers applet to automatically install the firmware. [05:21] bbyever: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/MD5SUMS [05:21] hiya everyone.. [05:21] manuel__: installing envy most likely made things worse [05:21] Kl4m: thanks [05:21] is there anyway we can create a USB bootable off the ISO for Ubuntu 8.04 ? [05:22] !usb [05:22] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:22] Starnestommy: damn .. I'm considering on re-installing ubuntu ... but there must be something I can do? [05:22] morphy: Please see what ubotu just posted. [05:22] what should one do if one can't kill a process with kill -9? (other than rebooting) [05:22] cool.. thanks :) [05:22] You're welcome. [05:22] i am getting a low resolution with hardy heron, i installed nvidia-glx-new already, my monitor seems undetected in xorg.conf, what can i do ? [05:22] philsf: Make sure the process is non essential, then use 'sudo kill -9'. [05:22] philsf: does sudo kill -9 work? [05:22] hello [05:22] everybody [05:22] harriseldon: can the server ip be dynamic? [05:23] Hello, caifei! [05:23] manuel_: did you use envy or envyng? [05:23] Starnestommy and nhaines: forgot to mention I tried that already [05:23] ripps: envyng [05:23] juano__: it happened to me, i installed nvidia settings plugin, and it fixed it [05:23] philsf: which process is it? [05:23] ps x reports: 13524 ? D 0:00 sync [05:23] can anyone explain installing python eggs on ubuntu [05:23] have you used envy before you used envyng? [05:23] Xcell aahh ok thanks i will try [05:24] k [05:24] ripps: nope [05:24] I am trying to connect to the internet using 7.04. It says the access concentrator did not respond. There is a switch with three things plugged in:- the dsl modem, 2 pc's running 7.04 with one of them connected and the other not being able to connect. Any ideas? I have recently switched from XP and in XP I used to normally connect using pppoe from each pc using the same modem but not so with ubuntu [05:24] owen1 if it is a registered domain name with a dns server then you can use the name, otherwise you must know the current ip address. site like dyndns.org allow you to register your own dns for a chaning ip [05:24] is there Chinese? [05:24] manuel_: can you post your xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [05:24] !cn | caifei [05:24] caifei: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:24] harriseldon: thanks [05:24] Flannel: Ooh, that's nifty! [05:24] philsf: I think sync is a very important process for making sure that data gets written to the disk correctly [05:25] !de | nhaines [05:25] thanks [05:25] nhaines: fail :\ [05:25] the command goes something like this sudo echo 70 > /proc/acpi/video/************* [05:25] Starnestommy: it's beem running all day long, and it's "defunct" [05:25] philsf: you may need to restart or just ignore it [05:25] and it's owned by a non-root user [05:25] neon: woah don't use *'s there [05:26] Anyone using Xen on Hardy? Successfully? [05:26] Starnestommy: yeah, just checking for alternatives. thanks anyway [05:26] Why does Firefox keep freezing up for a few secs on my [05:26] *me? [05:26] XceII: worked great, thanks! [05:26] Some_Person: It could be that you load a complex page with a lot of plugins like Flash or Java. [05:26] ok [05:26] pawbie: I'm sorry, I don't recall what we were talking about. [05:27] neon have you checked this bug thread https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/12637 it looks like there is a link to a forum post as well [05:27] nhaines: nope, just normal stuff, like ubuntu forums and google news [05:27] Hey guys, how can i put 1280x1024 on Ubuntu 8.04? [05:27] Is there a simple command to fix this, or am i going to have to go through the log and manually remove packages one at a time? :x 2008-04-24 23:24:37,678 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.' [05:27] ripps: here you go http://pastebin.com/m7dcccf72 [05:27] Hello all, i've got a problem with dist-upgrade. I use apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. but nothing happens. just a few packages are being installed. [05:27] Interesting. So, when update-manager fails, do-release-upgrade which uses the same underpinnings, may succeed. [05:28] what's the command line to bring up bittorrent? [05:28] Some_Person: I have the same problem. Likely a firefox bug. It should be dealt with by the release [05:28] How do i upgrade to hardy properly? [05:28] do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeVideText [05:28] Kl4m: never got this problem on FF3beta5 in Gutsy [05:28] !upgrade [05:28] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:28] when is gutsy able to upgrade to hardy (using the cool built in upgrade thing) [05:28] pipegeek: did you have luck with that? :) [05:28] harriseldon: reading right now thanks [05:28] arooni: now [05:28] Cl0setheist: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades . the !upgrade note is outdated. [05:28] nhaines: yes. Which is bloody weird. Somehow, it decided that there was an upgrade to be done. [05:28] arooni: now; except you'll be waiting forever on slow mirrors. Give it a few days. [05:28] arooni: It should work right now, but I'd advise you to wait a week or at least a couple days. [05:28] Did anything special happen with the /dev/hd* files? Since it looks like I have lost them all after the dist-upgrade [05:28] Kl4m: also my machines hard drive keeps making "loading" noises [05:29] manuel_: after you reinstall fglrx using EnvyNG, try running aticonfig --initial. [05:29] pipegeek: I'm very happy to hear that. [05:29] I didn't know that tool existed. Good to know. [05:29] Hey guys, how can i put 1280x1024 on Ubuntu 8.04? [05:29] thanks, nhaines [05:29] grumbel: You upgraded from dapper? [05:29] ok i can wait [05:29] waht's really different between gutsy & hardy [05:29] grumbel: they may have become sd* [05:29] Flannel: gutsy [05:29] is there more Compiz effects if I download the Advanced Desktop Effect Settings? Or is the one in Hardy Heron contain everything already? [05:29] Flash-xD: System -> preferences -> resolution [05:29] through adept [05:29] What other OS systems are out there that are good? [05:29] Some_Person: if you just upgraded/installed, some internal databases are going to update in the first hour [05:29] Rycher: OS/2 Warp [05:29] grumbel: Interesting. Well, for a while now IDE drives have been mapped to SATA drives (sdX instead of hdX), perhaps in Hardy, they don't even show up in the filesystem. [05:29] if I want to run bit torrent from the command line, what's the command to type in to bring it up? [05:29] gentoo is aright [05:29] MachinTrucChose: Hardy contains everything, but Advanced Desktop Effects is the interface to customize your effects. [05:29] Kl4m: i upgraded days ago [05:29] System -> preferences -> resolution, max 1024x768 [05:30] Does anyone know of a program that makes file extensions lowercase? [05:30] Kl4m: problem with firefox started yesterday [05:30] ok, thanks [05:30] I know how to do it manually, it would just be convenient if there's one in the repository... [05:30] coldboot: bulk rename [05:30] Flash-xD: Manually add it to xorg.conf ? [05:30] Geoffrey2, btdownloadcurses.py if I remember right [05:30] update-mannager seems to get better not, still didn't make it through, but it allowed me to start downloading at the very beginning. [05:30] Flannel: ok, thanks. /dev/sd* stuff is in place [05:30] the ubuntu servers are getting overloaded i think [05:30] Hi all. I was just looking for some advice as to which application people in here find best for creating audio cd's from mp3's? [05:30] manuel_: also, try adding Option "Composite" "enable" to the Extensions section of your xorg.conf [05:30] pawbie: What's the name of the thing in the repository? [05:30] Is there a simple command to fix this, or am i going to have to go through the log and manually remove packages one at a time? :x 2008-04-24 23:24:37,678 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'

[05:32] coldboot: Oh! It's called bulk rename. Should be under system tools, I think (atleast, it is in Debian). [05:32] grumbel: well, the orders will determine what letters they get, but UUIDs makes it not matter for fstab [05:32] I have a problem with 8.04. When I start a web page which use flash player I receive an image with play button, how can I remove this play button? Please help! [05:32] Flannel: not much UUID in my fstab, so my system is pretty wreaked at the moment [05:32] Rycher: pawbie was trying to make a joke [05:32] r [05:32] MachinTrucChose: yes and yes [05:33] is flash built into the live cd? [05:33] lk4m: did you fix it? [05:33] Diurpaneus: I would remove the free swf player and install adobe's [05:33] Rycher are you looking for other distributions of linux? [05:33] harriseldon: A joke? OS2 rocks. [05:33] MachinTrucChose: I use wicd now. I got fed up with network-manager [05:33] ah yes...Wicd is how I fixed it back with 7.10 [05:33] network manager isn't as horrible as it used to be... [05:33] pawbie, Rocks like the 90's [05:33] does anyone know where to change the font dpi in xfce? my fonts are all way to small to read and i dont see the option anywhere [05:33] how can I remove the free swf, because I already install adobe [05:33] ripps: Ok let me see if that works [05:33] dave11: No. Try installing Ubuntu Restricted Extras with Add/Remove. [05:33] ok [05:33] pawbie: Is that called "system-tools"? [05:34] Hi. Do I need to chmod a+w for Samba to be able to write to a directory? Who is the process that does the write running as? I tried to give write access to the group samba, but that did not cut it. [05:34] mutk: Still rocks... [05:34] nhaines: thanks [05:34] Is there a hardy channel?

[05:34] MetaBot: Settings > User Interface, Font DPI [05:34] is the main package repository down, im getting failed hits when reloading my package list. and whats the deal with the xchat package not being for i386? [05:34] Miesco: Now that hardy is out, this is it. [05:34] pawbie I am sure it does. You can continue to run it while you bask in the nostalgia. We will stick to modern distributions like BeOS. lol [05:34] harriseldon: ohhhh i gotcha :D yeah... basically any thing other then Windows! [05:35] But I got kicked from #ubuntu-release-party or whatever [05:35] Is there a simple command to fix this, or am i going to have to go through the log and manually remove packages one at a time? :x 2008-04-24 23:24:37,678 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.' [05:35] For talking about my genitals [05:35] apt-get remove gnash maybe? [05:35] pawbie, I gave away my OS2warp boxed set to a colleague. He was like 'oh man this is great'. I agree in it's time it was wonderful. [05:35] Err, MEtaLpREs even. Settings > User Interface, Font DPI. [05:35] Miesco: That doesn't give you the opportunity to talk about it here [05:35] neeto: there is one. I'm searching right now [05:35] There's no reason to put down other OSes. Every one has its different attributes that make it endearing, even if only for nostalgia sake. [05:35] mutk: Hey! I lost my printer floppy.... you should've copied it. [05:35] Rycher the people in this channel are going to be pretty ubuntu/kubuntu biased. you may want to check out a site like distrowatch.com [05:35] is the main package repository down, im getting failed hits when reloading my package list. and whats the deal with the xchat package not being for i386? [05:35] ? [05:36] hello.. I'm downloading Hardy via Update Manager, and it's taking too long. I have the alternate ISO but my writers are busted. Was wondering if i could extract the ISO's contents to some directory on my machine so that I get past the downloads quickly, and skip to "Installing the upgrades" part [05:36] 1183 out of 1225 fetched and still 2hours to go [05:36] ok, I installed CompizConfig, but I don't see any shortcuts. How can I edit the visual effects? [05:36] cob: Hi this is Lainy. b43fwcutter is already installed but ssid does not show up in an iwlist scan. [05:36] How can I tell if my system has already upgraded? :/ [05:36] http://xkcd.com/415/ [05:36] jeffimperial: just mount the iso, yeah. No need to extract [05:36] Rycher: Seriously, try Debian. And SUSE10, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. Gentoo if you feel like waiting. [05:36] harriseldon: well has anybody tried ubuntu Studio? I do graphic design (im only 15 yrs old) so i wanna try it.. but get feedback first. [05:36] How do I get the UUID of a drive/disk? [05:36] LoLeN: #ubuntu-offtopic [05:36] 8.04 seems slower than 7.10 [05:36] any new broadcom wireless fixes yet that work? [05:36] pawbie: thx man [05:37] does your laptop have a physical radio switch or is it software-based with a keystroke or something LainIwakura? [05:37] SniperAwork could try naim [05:37] MachinTrucChose: System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. [05:37] MachinTrucChose: It's under system> preferences/Administration [05:37] Flannel --> mount the ISO, and the rest should follow, even after restart? [05:37] Is there a messaging client that works on AIM and MSN and stuff from within the terminal?

[05:37] neeto: Finch. Comes with Pidgin. [05:37] Hardy is taking so long to download via update manager because EVERYONE is doing it, please be patient [05:37] Hello All, would any one happen to know of a good flash downloader for ubuntu 8.04 - (want to download youtube & google flash videos !)

[05:37] y [05:38] jesus fing christ would someome tell me is the main package repository down or what [05:38] o [05:38] LoLeN: right. This is for support only, #ubuntu-offtopic is a great place for jokes, we welcome them, and discussion on the new xkcds. [05:38] If I'm upgrading my Ubuntu I should just download the Alternate ISO, correct? [05:38] coldboot: Sorry, then. It comes with Debian. :\ [05:38] neeto: It's basically Pidgin with a text interface.

[05:40] Kl4m, lol that does absolutly no good [05:40] ripps - I tried but nothing's coming up - so I thought to ask if anyone knew of something ! [05:40] Sniper606: You can always try to use a torrent to download the Ubuntu Alternate Install CD and upgrade using that. [05:40] hilts50, let the installer format it [05:40] looks like I made a smart decision to wait a couple of weeks before I upgrade..lol [05:40] compiz effects: mind > blown [05:40] harriseldon: thanks :) [05:40] nks_: What's not coming up? [05:40] no i already have 8.04 installed, its the package repository im having trouble with [05:40] it'll probably get boring after a couple of days [05:40] Is the server slow? [05:40] Or its jst me?

[05:42] jeffimperial the mountpoint is the destination directory. on linux drives are mounted to a directory on the filesystem [05:42] mc shows an entry prefixed with an exclamation mark (!). I found that this means a "stale symlink". What is a 'stale symlink'? [05:42] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [05:42] I can't get it to function, pawbie [05:42] I have recompiled it and inserted it into the running kernel several times [05:42] nothin' [05:42] neeto: get in line, you are only the 1 millionth person doing the same thing [05:42] jeffimperial, just create a new directory and use the full path as the mount point [05:42] kindofabuzz: figured it was something like that [05:42] Stupid question -- are the repositories down or are they just really bogged thanks to the release today? [05:42] omg [05:42] bogged down. [05:43] i think they are down [05:43] jeffimperial: mountpoint would be an arbitrary place in your filesystem that you wanted the ISO to be mounted to (so you browse to /whatever/your/mountpoint/is/ to view the contents of the CD/iso) [05:43] Alright, 8.04 must have serious issues with RAID. [05:43] im having the repository problem too [05:43] Sniper606: they are not down [05:43] you can change them to a different country and they work [05:43] they are jammed [05:43] thanks hellmitre. [05:43] pawbie: why's that? [05:43] i used sweden and i could install fine [05:43] jeffimperial: /mnt is a good temporary mountpint. [05:43] does hardy come with compiz?

[05:43] Sniper606: It isn't down, it's simply overloaded. [05:43] nhaines: how do i enable it [05:43] nhaines: i dont see the custom tab [05:43] i need my packages [05:43] what can i do [05:44] karllenz: It should be enabled by default if your hardware supports it. You'll have a Desktop Effects tab. [05:44] thanks, EVERYONE [05:44] Sniper606: There is nothing you can do. [05:44] kindofabuzz: installing b43-fwcutter works fine for my broadcom bcm4309 [05:44] nks_: hold on, let me see if their's a development build for FF3b5 [05:44] and why does xchat say its not made for my hardware [05:44] blueeyesmike did you verify the settings in the power management preferences?

I guess those are for 7.10, it dint seem to work for me :( [05:46] hi guys, hardy cd isn't auto-asking if I want to upgrade (from gutsy) and /cdrom/cdromupgrade doesn't exist [05:46] hmm [05:46] I get an error "missing operating system" [05:46] Is there a daily-live mirror?

Is there a way I can record music that is being played through a web browser somehow? [05:53] in compiz fusion when i apply a custom GTK2 theme, my window borders still look like "clearlooks" except only the hue changes [05:53] zero88: Audacity [05:53] cob: Thanks: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64308/ [05:53] zero audacity [05:53] !ndiswrapper [05:53] So why use alternate CD instead of just doing internet upgrade? [05:53] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:53] nhaines: it's in /media/cdrom0, but again /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade doesn't exist [05:53] pawbie, what does that do exactly? [05:53] Pokit: window borders are independent from the gtk theme [05:53] I've tried ndiswrapper [05:53] zero88: records from the mixer. [05:53] Did someone forget to package ndiswrapper utils with Hardy? [05:53] loufoque, is it possible to use GTK2 themes with compiz fusion? [05:53] no, it's there [05:53] Anyone here have Konversation? [05:53] in repositories, at least [05:53] MeatGrinder: because the alternate CD can be downloaded via BitTorrent and the official repositories are really, really being hammered right now. [05:53] MeatGrinder: you download as a torrent, instead of from the mirrors (which are especially slow right now) [05:54] Pokit: sure [05:54] patspam: Are you sure you're using the alternate install CD and not the desktop CD? [05:54] I'm trying to make my BCM94311 work and need ndiswrapper since the b43 drivers won't install here. [05:54] nhaines: All of the CDs are available by torrent. [05:54] MrObvious same chip as I [05:54] nhaines: bugger i think i have the desktop cd [05:54] pawbie: He was only talking about the alternate install CD. [05:54] rich_freecomm: #kubuntu [05:54] tried ndiswrapper myself, and it didn't work [05:54] patspam: A common mistake. I run into it myself occasionally. [05:54] nhaines: download wasted? or possible to still use? [05:54] i hate torrents, so damn slow and the seeding part I don't like so much. Aren't torrents just for transmitting viruses and trojans? [05:54] Of course, is there any way to disable the native drivers? [05:54] Pokit: System > Preferences > Apparence [05:55] Torrents aren't slow [05:55] pawbie, i see thanks [05:55] Pokit, go into your settings manager to change your window borders [05:55] OK, I was in the middle of updating with update-manager and I had to cancel it (it was in the "downloading packages" stage). What should I do to continue the upgrade? [05:55] MeatGrinder: they're also for sharing large files [05:55] I used Envy to install a ATI Driver, and now videos in Totem, VLC, etc don't display. Can anyone help me? [05:55] blueeyesmike did you check for bugs about this? It seems like some check is failing in the script [05:55] patspam: dl alternative cd torrent then. it's fast. you can use desktop for later. [05:55] MeatGrinder: If you're serious, I'm going to headdesk. [05:55] what is 'enable watching' do for tracker ? [05:55] AdrianStrays: you probablt messed up more things by using envy [05:55] patspam: Lend it to friends! :D [05:55] Kurtis-: they are if you can't upload because of a router, like 80% of the people [05:55] *probably [05:55] AdrianStrays did you use envy or envyng [05:55] patspam: But yeah, unfortunately you can't upgrade with the Desktop CD. [05:55] loufoque, I guess i just dont understand how it works. when I download a GTK2 theme from the web, and drag it into the theme window and apply the theme, it doesnt "really" change. the theme stays as clearlooks but the hue of the window border changes.. [05:55] any recommendations for a torrent client? I have getright and it supposedly works with torrents but never tried it === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [05:55] loufoque: That's why you enable port forwarding [05:55] loufoque: A router defeats you from uploading.....? :\ [05:55] harriseldon, envy [05:55] hello i am trying to upgrade distro but when it is trying to get the new channels it keeps on stoppin and having to retry and fetch it because its failing to connect to all the en_AU i18n files [05:56] Adrian [05:56] kurtis- ftw [05:56] nhaines: bugger, ok, thanks for the help anyway! [05:56] AdrianStrays: Try adding -> Option "XVideo" "enable" <- to the "Extensions section of your xorg.conf === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [05:56] pawbie, ??? [05:56] I was in the middle of upgrading to hardy with update-manager and I had to cancel it (it was in the "downloading packages" stage). What should I do to continue the upgrade? [05:56] stamestommy, yep. Last time I listen help from people on the forums.... [05:56] AdrianStrays please goto http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html envyng should be use with hardy [05:56] Any idea how to get Nvidia driver to work? It says it is installed by not active in the Hardware manager. [05:56] i've been looking just now best I could find was this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/188194 but when I do that log I don't get any button press events from gnome-power-manager like this guy did [05:57] AdrianStrays: Envy is one of those great things that... when it works, it works great. When it fails, it epic fails. Sounds like you just have a slight fail at the moment, though. === client is now known as eun_chae [05:57] Okay, I'm confused by this. The upgrade is failing because it would have to remove nvidia-glx-new, but xserver-xorg-core conflicts with nvidia-glx-new [05:57] !torrent [05:57] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [05:57] 1413 users? thats the number on my luggage! [05:57] THIS CHANNEL IS GETTING TOO FULL, IF YOUR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH COMPIZ, PLEASE GOTO #compiz-fusion [05:57] patspam: My pleasure. Torrents are a way to download from many people who are downloading a file. It is popular for large files because it means that bandwidth is shared between downloaders. Consider leaving your BitTorrent client running afterwards, to help out others who still need Ubuntu! [05:58] pipegeek did you have envy installed? If so, did you follow the directions to completely remove it? [05:58] anyone have any idea why that might be ? [05:58] Will the channel explode if too many people are in it? [05:58] <^V^> Hi, the upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 didn't work correctly for me. The boot menu didn't get updated and when I tried booting into the old kernel version I obviously had issues with modules..(nvidia) [05:58] Irreducibilis: Yes. [05:58] harriseldon, oh wait, I miss read what you wrote. I did use EnvyNG. [05:58] Perhaps if 6666 people join [05:58] any recommendations for a windows torrent client? I have getright and it supposedly works with torrents but never tried it [05:58] <^V^> The menu.lst file appears to be correct though [05:58] MeatGrinder: uTorrent [05:58] MeatGrinder: uTorrent [05:58] MeatGrinder: Microtorrent or 'utorrent' [05:58] ripps, I am a little scared to touch the xorg.conf. Last time I did that I made things a lot worse... [05:58] utorrent ftw [05:58] ty [05:58] :D [05:58] MeatGrinder: I've always been fond of uTorrent. [05:58] <^V^> How do I update the boot menu now? [05:58] Irreducibilis: doubtful, but with too many people it is hard for anyone to get helped because the stuff scrolls by so darn fast [05:58] Though BitTorrent 6 is just the same as uTorrent now [05:58] yea utorrent is <3 [05:59] just rebranded [05:59] CyberCod: Ah... [05:59] hi all [05:59] MeatGrinder: another vote for utorrent :) [05:59] AdrianStrays make sure to do a backup of xorg.conf you can always restore it [05:59] any one works on gosa [05:59] unanamous? [05:59] I use uTorrent myself in Windows [05:59] AdrianStrays: holdon while I find an aticonfig command to help you [05:59] However you spell that.... [05:59] am getting lots of schema errors? [05:59] uTorrent appears to be the most pwnage client [05:59] any idea [05:59] ok sounds good, once i get utorrent installed how do I find hardy [05:59] omg [05:59] you go to the download page [05:59] Pokit: clearlooks isn't a gtk engine [05:59] MeatGrinder: ubuntu.com [05:59] Kurtis-: i thought you were kidding! [05:59] Wow, scroll much? [05:59] ok thanks [05:59] thats funny [05:59] nhaines: for sure. sadly we don't get much in the way of upload bandwidth here in AUS but I try to seed until it gets too painful [05:59] Anyone else not able to get anything working for their sources list in the new stable release? [05:59] hi, can anyone help me with setting the DPI of Firefox in hardy? It won't change the DPI when I try to change layout.css.dpi in firefox [06:00] Pokit: well it is [06:00] MeatGrinder: http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent for the Alternate Install CD. [06:00] Kidding about BitTorrent 6? [06:00] patspam: Every little bit helps. [06:00] nhaines, thanks [06:00] Pokit: but there are multiple clearlooks: a gtk engine, window borders, etc. [06:00] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [06:00] McHearty: it is being slammed by many ppl today [06:00] AdrianStrays: Try sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv [06:00] woot! about to burn the ISO! [06:00] Pokit: a gtk engine is just the controls [06:00] harriseldon, no i did not have envy installed. [06:00] * McHearty frowns [06:00] Hi Ubunters, I am using 7.10, but when a start compiz, my windows have no borders. Here is the output of my terminal after execute compiz => http://pastebin.org/31859 [06:00] how do you enable 64bit in ubuntu [06:00] Pokit: if you want to change the window borders, that's separate [06:00] anyone else having trouble with this update? the update manager stalls [06:00] I can't get anything from any server [06:00] jim_beam: Use a 64bit kernel. [06:00] still fighting hard to get to make USB install for 8.04.. any more suggestions ? [06:01] maap_rj: shoulda started earlier or waited for hardy [06:01] I even tried spain servers [06:01] weeee release day === goget1 is now known as gogeta [06:01] I haven't even managed to boot 8.04 yet.... :( [06:01] jim_beam: you must install from a 64 bit CD [06:01] McHearty: try Canadian [06:01] jim_beam: yes, that sucks. [06:01] maap_rj: please join #compiz-fusion [06:01] that's very easy to fix [06:01] <^V^> pawbie: what is the problem? [06:01] the standard linux kernel has a flag for 64bit support is that the same w=(with sym processing) [06:01] v: Grub boot error 21.... [06:01] ripps, I entered it in, it backed up the original and said that videooverlay and open gloverlay don't affect running session. Should I restart? [06:02] I think the installer is counting my hardware RAID as 2 separate disks. [06:02] it really sux.. I want to install 8.04 and I dont have a cdrom to boot from :/ [06:02] it starts the install, stops, and says it can't access the servers [06:02] AdrianStrays: yes [06:02] morphy: Install it with wubi? [06:02] hi [06:02] morphy: order one [06:02] ripps, brb [06:02] The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct. [06:02] Kylek, thanks for your replay, but I really do not undestando why to try earlier?? [06:02] woot? [06:02] Mickey: The servers are being hammered today. [06:02] There are no daily-live mirrors. [06:02] crd, thancks [06:02] I have an iso and I am trying to use that to make a USB bootable and am failing big time [06:02] I imagine because everyone's asking about 8.04 now [06:02] McHearty: lots of people are upgrading to hardy at the moment, hence the issues. [06:02] :/ [06:02] i get an I/O error message when trying to upgrade from a cd [06:03] nhaines: I'm actually celebrating the issues. [06:03] does anyone have a link to a page that explains all the different boot options for an ubuntu/windows dual installation? [06:03] I should have just sat on the alpha build -_- [06:03] can someone give me checksum for the alternate [06:03] woot for shitty broadcom [06:03] morphy: booting from an usb stick is fairly difficult [06:03] * McHearty scowls [06:03] bbyever: same here... i switched servers [06:03] I can't remember the last time a modern server got literally pounded out of operation for a Linux distro. [06:03] ok, thanks, i'll keep trying :) [06:03] i386 apternative: 166991d61e7c79a452b604f0d25d07f9 [06:03] amirman84: man grub [06:03] morphy, thx [06:03] nirwana girl [06:03] pawbie: Oh, it's happened every 6 months for about the last 2 years, at least. :) [06:03] loufoque, not until the 7.04.. it could be achieved in a jiffy.. [06:04] Oh, and I love how the ubuntu help page still refers to pidgin as gaim [06:04] That's gotta be good for the newbies [06:04] amirman84, http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [06:04] its just this version that I am facing this problem :( [06:04] nhaines: I don't remember it being this bad for the last 2 releases. [06:04] I was in the middle of upgrading to hardy with update-manager and I had to cancel it (it was in the "downloading packages" stage). What should I do to continue the upgrade? [06:04] jtmonz: so i should download again? [06:04] maap_rj: everyones messing with 8.04 today [06:04] Toran: restart the update manager [06:04] last two releases weren't LTS [06:04] pawbie: It was pretty close. A day or two and it'll clear back up again. It takes a week or so before it really gets better. [06:04] pawbie: i'm specifically looking for alternatives to using just grub [06:04] devin_: Zactly. Nor did they feature wubi and the new AD thingie. [06:05] bbyever: i would just switch servers... it was easy to do in synaptic [06:05] McHearty: Which page? On the Web site? I can poke someone about it. [06:05] amirman84 floppy disk supergrub cd [06:05] Hang on I'll link you [06:05] oh joy, i have 5.4k download on the alternate torrent...only 27 more hours to go! [06:05] pawbie: ehrm... the slashdot effect happens every day. :) though probably it's mostly bandwidth saturation rather than server pounding per se. [06:05] Sciri: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/communitysupport [06:05] amirman84: Why? [06:05] air/join #wpa_supplicant [06:05] pawbie: it doesn't recognize that there is a new version of ubuntu out, now. It just has a huge list of packages to upgrade as if I weren't doing a dist upgrade [06:05] only 27? [06:05] McHearty: ta, I'll poke newz tomorrow morning. [06:05] is it possible to do a "clean" install of ubuntu without formatting? (leaving /home the way it is, and no i don't want to go into making a separate home) [06:05] what do you mean just switch servers... [06:06] maccam94: Ya. Make a new partition, cp -r /home to the new partition, and mount the new partition as your /home during install. [06:06] maccam94 yep if you have a /home partation [06:06] maccam94: back up /home to external drive, make clean install, move /home back. [06:06] maccam94 just format / [06:06] ripps, still doesn't work.... [06:06] amirman84: Which are you trying to dual-boot? [06:06] maccam94: Not without making a seperate /home partition. [06:06] maccam94: boot the live cd and delete everything thats not /home, and then partition manually [06:06] pawbie, gogeta: i wonder if i can use the windows bootloader to point to grub on my linux partition instead of having to overwrite the mbr with grub [06:06] XP or Vista? [06:06] maccam94: then dont click format [06:06] ta-ta [06:06] MeatGrinder: it'll speed up soon [06:06] amirman84 kinda [06:06] .mx == mexico? just use another north american server... go in to synaptic or adept manager and change the default server from there [06:06] amirman84: Have a look at how Wubi uses grub4dos to do that. [06:06] amirman84: You can, but it requires some third party tools [06:06] kurtis: xp media center [06:06] Windows bootloaders only recognize Windows OS's [06:06] AdrianStrays: can you post your xorg.conf? === tanner is now known as xerroz [06:06] IcemanV9, ok thanks [06:06] Debian has an article how to use ntldr with bootpart [06:07] if you have an old version.. you can try to use rsync to update it based on differences. [06:07] Fishscene: not true...I've booted linux from Windows' bootloader [06:07] is there a keep connection alive program [06:07] due to a corporate requirement [06:07] ripps, I forgot the command to display it. [06:07] yeah, it's called wubi [06:07] amirman84: http://www.aboutdebian.com/dualboot.htm [06:07] cob, seriously? Do you have an article I could follow? [06:07] hey all [06:07] thers a way to boot it one ext3 to [06:07] hey, rkvirani. [06:07] just downloaded the latest and installed it [06:07] Fishscene: install it with wubi [06:07] using windows boot [06:07] Can someone help me with my Internet connection? I can't get it to work, but it worked in Gutsy. I have a broadcom 4311 and the wiki page isn't helpful. [06:07] Ah. Was using mirrors.kernel.org, which is a week behind. [06:07] MeatGrinder: it usually starts slowly, then speed up quickly [06:07] downloaded the nvidia driver and the shadow for compiz is PINK! [06:07] jtmonz, that's cheating :| [06:07] been a long time sence i tryed === dulkemith is now known as nirwana [06:07] (i think it's the last option when you boot the cd) [06:08] any ideas? [06:08] rkvirani: we're not a forum, we dont really need introductions ;) [06:08] jtmonz: but how would that make a difference? i checked de md5sum and it was correct... [06:08] amirman84 you can change the boot.ini to boot into grub -- I have done it before with lilo many eons ago [06:08] what are the config files for wubi's bootloader called? [06:08] minus the fact that 8.04 server released also don't help speed things up any [06:08] Lots of bcm43xx issues tonight. [06:08] Fishscene: would be happy to google it up but currently waiting on ff to download java jre and with the apt repos all tied up with 8.04 install activity it's ttaking forever [06:08] KyleK: pardon me? [06:08] rkvirani: what'd you break? [06:08] amirman84 I will search online and let you know [06:08] pawbie: 8.04 release fudged broadcom up worse than beta [06:08] Fishscene: ohh, you want a separate partition [06:08] rkvirani: nothing... [06:08] ah [06:08] harriseldon: that's what i'm wanting to do, i think. [06:08] I'm having trouble with broadcom yes [06:08] KyleK: have you personally done it? as i remember in 7.10 it wouldn't let you proceed without formatting / [06:08] AdrianStays: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [06:08] just installed the NVIDIA driver. [06:08] rkvirani: that's a well-known nvidia driver bug:/ [06:08] IcemanV9, does it matter which client I use? I'm using getright right now. [06:08] cob, no problem. I have to go now anyway, but I'll see if I can look into it anyway. Thanks for the heads up though. I hate giving out false info. [06:08] bbyever: i couldn't get my 8.04 cd to mount for some reason... so i just swithced servers... do whatever you feel like though [06:08] cob: Ya? Crap. I have a friend that's downloading 8.04 in hopes of getting his bcm43xx up and running. [06:08] crdlb: what can be done? [06:08] cob, did you get my pastebin? [06:08] I'm installing 8.04 onto a virtual machine in VMWare, using XFS as the root partition. The installer stopped at 94% (it warned me GRUB has problems with XFS), so I closed it, installed GRUB myself (from the `grub` prompt), and was able to boot to the GRUB command line. However, the installer hadn't got to making my grub.conf yet. Could someone pastebin theirs for me (I'll figure out what to edit) [06:08] ripps, no I know paste bin, I forgot how to bring xorg.conf up [06:08] hi [06:09] it worked fine prior to 8.04 release [06:09] rkvirani: you could turn off the shadows entirely I guess [06:09] maccam94: thats odd, well you could debootstrap maybe [06:09] MeatGrinder: it shouldn't matter [06:09] crdlb: alright [06:09] thanks [06:09] Lainlwakura: no can you paste url again please? [06:09] cob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64308/ [06:09] Thanks [06:09] I'm having a problem where compiz fails to load properly (but direct rendering is enabled) and I have to fall back on metacity. Anyone else noticing this problem? [06:09] ok Lain be a min...still waiting on this plugin install [06:09] hey does anyone know whether the Envy works in Ubuntu 8.04 [06:09] AdrianStarys: From terminal -> gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:09] cob: Okay, thanks. [06:10] derenrich: XGL/AIGLX available? [06:10] does sb have a torrent link for ubuntu x386 desktop edition (DVD) ? [06:10] why does Hardy include emacs? vim is clearly superior... [06:10] derenrich: what video card? [06:10] derenrich: run "compiz --replace" from terminal and see if you get errors. [06:10] i cant get into the ubuntu website [06:10] nvidia [06:10] amirman84 http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html It looks like a pretty good guide, but make sure to have backups of boot.ini and an xp disk handy to repair master boot record if you make a mistake [06:10] how's multi-monitor support on hardy? nice and easy to set up, or still requires fiddling a lot with xorg.conf? [06:10] LoLeN: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [06:10] pawbie: I get warnigns [06:10] * BACphist rocks [06:10] apt-get is not getting [06:10] jtmonz: its just mine does mount, but when i select any option from the menu it gives me the error [06:10] !pastebin [06:10] 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) [06:10] I just upgraded to 8.04 and want to install my video capture cards [06:10] derenrich: ....do they say anything useful? [06:10] mattycoze: from what i've heard you need a specific version of envy called envyNG for 8.04 [06:10] can u upgrade from 7.1 to hardy with dvd [06:10] there we go [06:10] bbyever: probably a bad burn then [06:10] :P [06:10] pawbie: not useful to me, things like "/usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32" [06:10] now, can I upgrade to Heron with a burned CD as the source? [06:10] amirman84 is that in Synaptic? [06:11] harriseldon: thank you very much [06:11] ripps, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64309/ [06:11] derenrich: That's useful. You have no GLXFBConfig for depth 32. Go add it. [06:11] and why isn't an upgrade for libconfuse included? >< [06:11] * BACphist thinks that Hardy is gonna steal the 75% percent of market share windows has after there 25% drop [06:11] jtmonz: ok, ill try burning again [06:11] i better be able to update that on my own after this... [06:11] is it dangerous to install gutsy packages in hardy? [06:11] BACphist: Wishful thinking. :\ [06:11] jtmonz: thanks [06:11] NAY!!!! [06:11] isnt there the dvd version? [06:11] derenrich: please join #compiz-fusion to be factoided [06:11] Well, maybe some will be mac [06:12] BACphist: I'd just be happy when Apple dies completely. [06:12] BACphist: would you really want hardy to have 75%? [06:12] pawbie++ [06:12] anyone having any problems with upgrading and localisation files ? It seems to be choking on trying to fetch en_AU files ? [06:12] But, windoze sales dropped 25 % [06:12] sigma_1234 depends on the package, but it is generally not a good idea [06:12] crdlb: You know this! [06:12] pawbie: Apple is evil and scales me much more than Windows [06:12] bbyever: no problem [06:12] They lost 25% market over too mac linux berkely unix etc [06:12] mattycoze: i downloaded it off of their website but it didn't work for me but that was because i was using the older version of wubi for 8.04 that never finished the install. have you tried allowing backports and proposed packages in software sources? [06:12] meeper: Agree. Google is getting there..... [06:12] BACphist: i read 11% [06:12] earnings were 11% short, right? [06:12] !windows [06:12] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [06:12] BACphist, i think people are just sticking with XP and not buying Vista [06:13] Yea, [06:13] amirman84 no i haven't [06:13] ripps, any luck? [06:13] Never thought the day would come where i'd agree with that statement lol [06:13] i know a lot of people that are holding out til Windows 7; if that fails as much as Vista apparently has, many will make the switch to alternative OSes [06:13] ceil420: To quote the balmers.... "They're missing out on a lot of VALUE!" [06:13] I don't see MS losing a good deal of marketshare anytime soon. [06:13] I am using the nvidia-glx-new driver with a Geforce fx 5500 and on my tv-out it only shows the top left corner of my screen (1024x768, tv is supposed to be at 640x480). how do i show the whole screen on my TV? I have overscan set to zero [06:13] pawbie, riiight :p [06:13] amirman84 what's the software repository i have to add in synaptic? [06:13] any ubuntu program where i can input infrared from TV remote control and convert them to sound (*.mp3, *.wav, *.avi...etc)? [06:13] ceil420: Seriously... he says that.... weird dude. [06:13] vistas not that bad, its the same amount of hassle with ubuntu [06:14] =0 [06:14] Vista doesn't suck, though. Not sure why everyone hates it so much, really. [06:14] anyone have any idea ? [06:14] i want to install apache mysql and php and postgresql and really dont want to re download them. also i use a gutsy version of quasar accounting. will that run in hardy? [06:14] bcgrown: i believe there is a program called nvidia-settings that should be installed already... try using that [06:14] Kurtis-: I <3 Vista and Debian. [06:14] pawbie, Ballmer's gotta be one of the most psychotic large-company CEOs of all time [06:14] Ubuntu is pissering me off... :\ [06:14] !offtopic | KyleK pawalls ceil420 [06:14] KyleK pawalls ceil420: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:14] I'm using Vista right now. [06:14] ;-( [06:14] jtmonz: i've been there, there's nothing to adjust that makes it work [06:14] Does anyone know how to force the ipw3945 driver to be used in hardy? [06:14] hey nickrud, are there any issues with resizing the /boot partition I should be aware of? [06:14] amirman84 or is it already in the list [06:14] Kurtis-, my computer would choke on Vista. also, it's ugly. and that's the last of MS that i'll talk about, lest someone kicks me <_< [06:14] Kurtis: Vista is gay, like tetris, and you. Be a real man download a UNNIX like solaris or BSD [06:14] Hardy complains my boot partition is too small [06:14] Sissys. [06:14] bcgrown: hmm, sorry... ati here :( [06:15] talcite get rid of it, just keep your kernels in the /boot on the root partition ;) [06:15] bacphist: Server 2008 core ftw. [06:15] Hi all, I'm having a problem: I've upgraded to Hardy and apparently everything went well, the problem was that I answered "no" when the installation asked me if it should update grub list automaticly... Now I have the same old list with Ubuntu 7.10 and kernel 2.6.22-14. When I run "update-grub" I think it sees the new kernel (which I assume is 2.6.24-16) and says "updating list... done" but in reality it doesn't modify the list. Could anyone help me? [06:15] nickrud: oh =S. Err how should I do that? [06:15] talcite but resizing issues? None that I can think of :) [06:15] mc shows an entry prefixed with an exclamation mark (!). I found that this means a "stale symlink". What is a 'stale symlink'? [06:15] amirman84 (i'm currently trying to download it from the software backports from synaptic; just letting it refresh the list; which is taking an unbelievably long time; perhaps becausethe server is being nuked atm) [06:15] j_humphrey, if 'sudo modprobe -v ipw3945' loads the module and your device works find and you are happy, add ipw3945 to your /etc/modules list and reboot [06:15] Psh, anyone who results to insulting obviously doesn't know any actual reasons to dislike it other than it's trendy. [06:15] mattycoze: i would STRONGLY recommend going into SYSTEM > ADMINISTRATION > SOFTWARE SOURCES and enabling "proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)" , "software restricted by copyright and legal issues (multiverse)" under the Ubuntu software tab [06:15] Radiobuzz: After you update, I believe you still have to install again. [06:15] by looking in http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/restricted/i18n/ only en files there are is en_GB is it possible to change it over to this and just use GB locale files ? [06:15] talcite you could unmount boot , then run sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) grub [06:15] bah i still have qt crap installed >< [06:15] s/find/fine/ [06:15] AndrianStrays: Copy http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64310/ and replace xorg.conf -> "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf/" [06:15] nickrud: ahh ok good. would I need to reboot onto a liveCD? or is unmounting the partition good enough? [06:15] Radiobuzz: I'm probably wrong, though. wait for a second opinion. [06:16] At least I can get wireless drivers to work in Vista. [06:16] Newbie help here again, pls.. Just mounted the alternate ISO for hardy.. now, which do i execute? the cdromupgrade md5? [06:16] Hi all [06:16] oh... [06:16] How come my wireless only connects at a 2Mbps using WPA and being right next to the router? [06:16] pawbie, you mean to reinstall Hardy? [06:16] hi [06:16] is there some reason why the Wubi installer keeps trying to download a new ISO even though I'm running it off an 8.04 disk? [06:16] amirman84 why so strongly recommended? [06:16] most people do anyway amirman84 [06:16] nickrud: for resizing I mean. I think I'll move to /boot next clean install [06:16] Radiobuzz: NO!@# Hah.. Reinstall grub. [06:16] mattycoze: also allow third party software and proposed and backports under the updates tab [06:16] Is there an office torrent for the new ubutnu release ? [06:16] unop, i tried modprobe ipw3945, but it says module does not exist [06:16] insub: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [06:16] offical** [06:16] MrObvious: literally next to? if so thats the problem [06:16] talcite no reason you couldn't resize it [06:16] no update for e16 either :x [06:16] nickrud: great. Thanks [06:16] thanks pawbie [06:16] j_humphrey, you probably need to get the source for it and install it [06:16] pawbie, oh, LOL, ok thanks. I'll still wait to see if anyone has another idea though :) [06:17] unop, will i have to recompile the kernel? [06:17] radiobuzz: Ya ;) [06:17] trying to download it from a server was dreadful lol [06:17] MrObvious: Wiki "omnidirectional antenna" [06:17] j_humphrey, not if you compile the driver as a module -- then you just modprobe it [06:17] <^V^> My menu.lst is updated but the boot menu isn't using it, how do I update it? [06:17] unop, how do i compile it as a module? [06:17] ripps, done [06:17] how do i upgrade from the alternate cd? [06:17] mattycoze: because i've spent weeks trying to get my wireless and graphics card to be supported in ubuntu, going through all the hassle of combing the forums and messing with code i had no idea about in the terminal when i didn't need to, when i allowed those software sources the drivers came in automatically and installed painlessly only requiring one reboot [06:18] AndrianStrays: Now reboot [06:18] amirman84: oh [06:18] ripps, brb [06:18] j_humphrey, the source for the driver will have instructions -- the procedure for each driver can be different [06:18] the installer I have says it's pre-release.. did I grab the wrong ISO ? [06:18] thanks unop [06:18] ^V^ grub should use that new menu.lst automatically, unless you aren't editing the right one? You have more than one linux install on the system? [06:18] omg ok, everyone off the apt repos for a minute...I need to finish this jre install [06:18] ^V^: did you reboot? [06:18] what's the difference between desktop and server versions? [06:18] ^v^: grub-install [06:18] tawt: The installer.... [06:19] How would I blacklist the b43 driver from loading for my Broadcom chip? I want to use ndiswrapper [06:19] tawt: the server versions don't have X11 by default [06:19] Do the Europe and German mirrors to download 8.04 have english version or are they in other languages by default? [06:19] server doesnt install a gui by default [06:19] <^V^> nickrud: That's the state that my upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 left the system in [06:19] Kurtis-: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:19] tawt: pawbie: the kernel [06:19] tawt, the server versions don't have GUI environments, and come with the LAMP packages by default [06:19] well, yeah, I know about that [06:19] tawt: If you aren't clear on the differences, I'd say desktop is the one you want =D [06:19] but would I just list "b43"? [06:19] amirman84 are you in aus? the sudo apt-get update process lags heaps on au.archive.ubuntu.com [06:19] tawt: Desktop has a GUI for home/office/notebook users. Server has no GUI for, well, servers like Web and database. ;) [06:19] lol yeah. just curious [06:19] cob: would I just type b43 in there? [06:19] ^V^ put your menu.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org just for fun [06:19] unop: Ubuntu server comes with LAMP packages by default now? [06:19] fastz: Ya? I figured server precompiles were the same as desktop kernels. [06:19] Just mounted the alternate ISO for hardy.. now, which do i execute? the cdromupgrade md5? [06:19] ahh. server edition's pretty fun. I threw it onto an old machine to play around with [06:19] Kurtis, what kind of card do you have [06:20] its interesting [06:20] FastZ, yep [06:20] Kurtis-: whatever is loaded up, check lsmod, I would say be sure b43-legacy or anything else with b43 in the name is blacklisted [06:20] mattycoze: no i'm in the US [06:20] bcm4311 rev 2 [06:20] Kurtis-: blacklisting or the other one? [06:20] oh ok [06:20] cos the syntax in /blacklist is blacklist b43 [06:20] unop: ubuntu has roaches lol lots of bugs [06:20] amirman84 reckon it'll be right if i change the server? [06:20] Gutsy Ubuntu SE..satanic edition..lol [06:20] (10:13:37 PM) bcgrown: I am using the nvidia-glx-new driver with a Geforce fx 5500 and on my tv-out it only shows the top left corner of my screen (1024x768, tv is supposed to be at 640x480). how do i show the whole screen on my TV? [06:20] :P [06:20] hi all, just booted into 8.04 :) [06:20] * nickrud gets tired of telling people not to modify blacklist, but create a new one to edit [06:20] Kurtis- I have a bcm4311 too. Should I blacklist b43 and use ndiswrapper? [06:20] pawbie: nah, the server kernel has is hardened a little and has some other stuff... i'm not 100% up to speed on the differences, but i know there are some slight inequalities between the two versions [06:20] gogeta, i can't say i am surprised :) it's well, expected [06:20] LainIwakura: I have no idea [06:20] yeah blacklist b43 [06:21] Hello all === j_humphrey_ is now known as j_humphrey [06:21] you have ndiswrapper set up? [06:21] I've got a wierd problem [06:21] I'll try to add it manually to the list, we'll meet again if something goes wrong. Thanks pawbie! [06:21] you shouldn't need to use terminal commands at all. just allow those sources and update through the GUI [06:21] I don't even see b43 listed in here [06:21] iusegnulinux, i have "About 16 hours 6 minutes remaining" to install Hardy <_< [06:21] Do the Europe and German mirrors to download 8.04 have english version or are they in other languages by default? [06:21] So I just upgraded to hardy --- but now the number pad (on the keyboard) wont work [06:21] uhh... sorry why is everyone here saying blacklist b43? [06:21] not sure how to blacklist it or setup ndiswrapper [06:21] no you have to add it [06:21] unop: when did LAMP become standard package install? with 7.10 it wasnt default I dont think...or was it? i did a dist-upgrade for that version [06:21] Radiobuzz: grub-install shouldn't be damaging if you want to try it. G'luck. [06:21] Kurtis-: ssb? [06:21] (finally got dist-upgrade to work) [06:21] Y-Town the cd's are all the same [06:21] pft, AMP? Like anyone uses that.... [06:21] It's a laptop connected to a docking cradle... [06:21] num-lock on? [06:21] <^V^> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64311/ [06:21] as of the 2 6 24 kernel, b43 should be the one to use. Ndiswrapper is pretty terrible. bcm43xx is even worse [06:21] nickkewl, the mirrors are faster :o) [06:21] FastZ, when did emacs become a standard package install? i don't even want the program ;x [06:22] Lainlwakura: not sure you want to go that route yet...unless you really want to [06:22] cob: yes, ssb [06:22] talcite: How can I get b43 to work? [06:22] i wish b43 worked for me :) [06:22] <^V^> nickrud: it looks okay but it just isn't being used [06:22] any expert on ndiswrapper? [06:22] ^V^ and what do you see when you boot? [06:22] LainIwakura: what kernel version are you running? uname-r [06:22] uname -r* [06:22] gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:22] <^V^> the old menu with 7.10 [06:22] add the line *blacklist b43* [06:22] save and close [06:22] Nevermind [06:22] ceil420: huh? who said anything about emacs? [06:22] talcite: i used to use ndiswrapper for 7.10, and am now on 8.04 - should i use b43 then? [06:22] Google is my friend :-) [06:22] use ndiswrapper [06:22] talcite: Use a wired connection System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [06:22] ripps, well I have video now, but it blinks in and out and has lines all over the place [06:22] talcite: But remove ndiswrapper first. [06:22] ^V^ show me the contents of /etc/fstab [06:23] if ndiswrapper worked before, I wouldn't stop using it [06:23] How do i mute the PC speaker beeps on Ubuntu? [06:23] eugenebythesea: depends on your card. Ndiswrapper is good if you happen to be using the MN-720 [06:23] amirman84: Take the pcspeaker out. [06:23] ^V^ and the output of sudo fdisk -l [06:23] FastZ, i looked through the list of modified/installed programs that i'm getting with my dist-upgrade to Hardy. "Install emacs22" was among the changes [06:23] ndiswrapper hasn't worked for me, but ssb has been running [06:23] thats what happened to my card when I upgraded from feisty to gutsy [06:23] AndrianStrays: Do you have Compiz enabled? [06:23] FastZ, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition [06:23] !VMWARE [06:23] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [06:23] eugenebythesea: lspci -v. Tell us what chipset your wireless card is using [06:23] pawbie: there's got to be a better way [06:23] ripps, yes. [06:23] i tried running the cdromupgrade md5 using terminal. the terminal comes up then disappears instantly.. what to do? [06:23] FastZ, if you're asking why i mention it to you, it's because you also mentioned a new package in the install [06:23] talcite: i see. i'm on a bcm43-something card. not sure how to see the info on it? [06:23] when i reboot the pc i have to always type "modprobe ndiswrapper && depmod -a" to get my wireless to work, why is that?? [06:23] nickrud lol i cant even keep up [06:23] amirman84: Probably, but I'm an efficiency guy myself... [06:23] eugenebythesea: lspci -v [06:24] talcite: 2.6.24.-16-generic [06:24] gogeta I don't try, I track a couple people at a time :) [06:24] FastZ, i think it was fiesty when it was introducted, i can't be sure [06:24] <^V^> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64312/ [06:24] brb.. checking the new install guide I found if it works [06:24] AndrianStrays: It's my experience that Compiz pushes your hardware too much, try disabling it. [06:24] LainIwakura: that's using the new wireless stack. You should be using b43 if possible [06:24] talcite: here it is - BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n [06:24] ceil420: oh, i couldnt tell ya why some packages are installed by default. unop said something about the server version being a LAMP server installation by default. [06:24] amirman84 i get this from planet mirror; Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. (plus a whole load of "failed to fetch") [06:24] LoLeN: Check your restricted modules and see if it's set to load. [06:24] LainIwakura: what chipset is your wireless using? [06:24] hmm compiz only pushes your computer too much if you have a crappy gfx card... [06:24] LainIwakura: lspci -v [06:24] anyone have problems upgrading today? [06:24] samliu: And a pentium 133... [06:24] other than the server being slow [06:24] lol [06:24] good point [06:25] eugenebythesea: oh... its one of those blasted draft-n cards... [06:25] pawbie: how do i check them? [06:25] I just tried blacklisting ssb and b43. I'll try ndiswrapper by itself now [06:25] talcite: Okay. Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) [06:25] I downloaded the ISO for Hardy Heron and burned it to a CD...now, can that be used to upgrade Ubuntu Gutsy, or can I only do a full install with that... [06:25] LoLeN, perhaps ndiswrapper isn't being loaded at boot .. make sure you have an entry for it in /etc/modules [06:25] eugenebythesea: let me look it up. [06:25] I have a quadro fx1400go :D [06:25] k ;) [06:25] LoLeN: System -> Administration -> Restricted Modules (I think) [06:25] unop: maybe it was...i'm not sure. I havent done a fresh install on my server machine since dapper and it's been a LAMP server ever since. [06:25] ^V^ did you get the question about showing me the output of sudo fdisk -l ? [06:25] I haven't used Ubuntu in a year... [06:25] pawbie did you say p133 [06:25] mattycoze: i've gotten a similar thing before, i just ignored it like it was no big deal [06:25] talcite: it usually worked well previously in 7.10. i haven't tried it yet in 8.04 [06:25] ripps, I never had this problem before. Before I updated to Hardy, video works, graphics worked, no lines or anything. I have trouble believing this is a hardware issue. Furthermore, prior to using envy, compiz and videos worked fine. [06:25] Shadow_X, i was, but it was because i had broken packages installed (in my case, a few language packs). i removed the offending packages, and i'm upgrading now :) [06:25] mc shows an entry prefixed with an exclamation mark (!). I found that this means a "stale symlink". What is a 'stale symlink'? [06:25] gogeta: Ya! I still have one. [06:25] ceil420, nice, you goin from 7.10? [06:25] ripps, is there anyway I can just get rid of envy, and have Ubuntu install the driver it was originally using? [06:25] <^V^> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64314/ [06:25] mattycoze: keep in mind i'm a total noob but my system is running extremely stable so far [06:25] pawbie oh cant run ubuntu on that well if it has 64mb of ram i guess better with puppy or dsl [06:25] bullgard4 a broken one? try looking at it with ls --color , if it's red it's broken [06:26] gogeta: debian [06:26] talcite: My ifconfig, iwconfig, lshw -C network, lspci, and lsmod are here, if that helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4785960#post4785960 [06:26] pawbie yea but it will be slow [06:26] Shadow_X, yeah. solely because i wanna update libconfuse so i can install awesome wm (i can't install the lib from source for some reason) [06:26] newbie finally got it... woohoo! [06:26] heya kids [06:26] hi all, how do I add a script to run oon suspend and resume? [06:26] gogeta: Not really. Debian + AMP + VNC + XFCE4... happy. [06:26] FastZ, looks like even dapper had it - http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-lamp-server-installation-with-screenshots.html [06:26] I haven't tried this yet, but those of you that had Broadcom working in Gutsy and now broke in Hardy, and don't have access to a ethernet cable, try this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64313/ found in forums, may try it tomorrow [06:26] wondering how to run network manager [06:26] when i get a new computer, i'm putting Debian Stable on this one and making it a server, anyway. but in the meantime, i'm still using Xubuntu [06:26] AndrianStrays: Use the envyng to remove your drivers and revert them to the radeon drivers [06:26] ceil420, heh i'm upgrading for several reasons. but of course, they always say its the best version ever. then again, any developer says that :P [06:27] unop: if i remember correctly, you had the option at initial installation to install the LAMP server...or a regular server [06:27] kindofabuzz: Well other people are saying that b43 should be used [06:27] hello [06:27] hellmitre: nm-applet [06:27] Shadow_X, lol, gotta try and get their product out there :p [06:27] that's the applet, yeah, but whenever I run that, I get nothing [06:27] oh, lovely [06:27] LainIwakura: you can't get the b43 if you don't have internet access [06:27] unop: regular server being one without the AMP part of the LAMP install [06:27] Ubutu 7,1 is cooll [06:27] nothing goes into the panel [06:27] eugenebythesea: your card isn't supported by b43 yet. I'd say stick with ndiswrapper for awhile longer until they release support. Keep looking every few months though. Ndiswrapper is a sub-optimal solution [06:27] FastZ, well, if you install and use tasksell , you have the option on any ubuntu/debian machine :) [06:27] ceil420: im running ubuntu on my server :) but its just personal server [06:27] where can i start learning more about ubunut [06:27] anyone here got a kworld atsc 110? [06:27] FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/modules.dep.temp for writing: Permission denied [06:27] i just got it [06:27] ^V^ my suspicion is that the there's a difference between the contents of /boot on the root partition, and the contents of the /boot partition. Try looking at menu.lst with /boot mounted, and without [06:27] FastZ, s/tasksell/tasksel/ [06:27] ceil420, yea. and i LOVE the way they are selling this one "all OS's come with things you'll never use. ubuntu 8.04 comes with an uninstall feature" LOL [06:27] I have a weird problem with my Toshiba U200 laptop, if I mute the sound in Windows, reboot and enter into Ubuntu, the sound doesn't work (even though I have everything set max for all controls) [06:27] hi i am having a problem and need some help [06:28] FastZ, a LAMP server is more or less 'regular'. i don't know why it'd be without the 'A' part, seeing as Apache rocks (and is probably the most ubiquitous server software out there) [06:28] talcite: i see. well its not critical, cos i have no wifi at the moment so.. i'll do that =) [06:28] got that when I issued modprobe ndiswrapper && depmod -a [06:28] ripps, I hit uninstall ATI driver in the EnvyNG gui, but how do I reinstall the original raedon drivers? [06:28] as root [06:28] can someone please help me [06:28] allyunion, you need audio drivers [06:28] talcite: thanks for confirming for me =) [06:28] lol Shadow_X; that's awesome XD [06:28] hellmitre do you get console output? can you check if the process is already running? [06:28] kindofabuzz: I have b43 working already. It comes with the disc. [06:28] ceil420: tomcat! [06:28] eugenebythesea: no problem [06:28] not working, but I mean it's installed [06:28] Why is it that when I tried to install from the alterate CD, it seems like the upgrader is still fetching files from this internet? [06:28] samliu: I have snd-hda-intel installed [06:28] it does nothing. absolutely blank console when I run it in terminal, harriseldon [06:28] hmm [06:28] LainIwakura: well i sure wish you'd write a guide, i'm sure thousands would aprreciate it [06:28] KyleK, mine's personal as well; file server, web site host (perhaps two sites in the future), IRC bot, mebbe a coupla other things [06:28] well, got no error that time, but it's still not working [06:29] LainIwakura: your chipset is supported by b43. Not b43-legacy. b43 [06:29] kindofabuzz: -_- ill give your method a try [06:29] ceil420: squid is a must. [06:29] ceil420: nowadays sure, but before, you had to install all the components of a LAMP server on your own, then came the LAMP server installer option... [06:29] samliu: And when I do have the audio set to max in Windows, and reboot, the audio works fine in Ubuntu [06:29] pawbie, squid? [06:29] nick_ http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ has some screecasts which may help [06:29] I am trying to install ubuntu and am able to boot up the installation DVD and when it asks for the language I hit enter on english and it works but now whenever i hit enter on install or try or anything else it doesnt work [06:29] what do i do [06:29] ceil420: squid proxy. Check it out. [06:29] w00t i'm upgrading!!! [06:29] LainIwakura: well how did you get your's working? [06:29] Lainlwakura: looks like ndiswrapper is loaded in kernel, did you upgrade to hardy or fresh install? [06:29] im nervous though. last time i upgraded my server....it failed to boot again >.> [06:29] LainIwakura, eugenebythesea: http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/en/users/Drivers/b43 [06:29] some1 help me [06:29] kindofabuzz: no it's not [06:29] talcite: cheers [06:29] nickrud: Yes, it shows the pathname and filename red with a black background. [06:29] oh thought you said it was [06:29] FastZ, i still don't have MySQL or PHP installed :x i need to find a use for a database so i can learn MySQL. Of course, the 'P' in LAMP for me means Perl ;) [06:29] Johnny_, whats up? [06:29] AdrianStrays: just a sec [06:29] Shadow_X: If everything went right the first time, it wouldn't be near as interesting. [06:29] Shadow_X, too bad you can't remove somethings [06:29] granted, the updates on that site will be a few months newer than the ones in the repo [06:29] I am trying to install ubuntu and am able to boot up the installation DVD and when it asks for the language I hit enter on english and it works but now whenever i hit enter on install or try or anything else it doesnt work what do i do [06:29] bullgard4 so for mc, stale link means broken link [06:30] talcite: am i not using b43? [06:30] LainIwakura: Were you the one also using bcm4311? [06:30] Kurtis- yes [06:30] ceil420: Insert, select, drop, delete, optimize. You know sql now. [06:30] nickrud: Thank you very much for explaining. [06:30] I'm using revision 2 [06:30] hellmitre what about output from nm-tool? [06:30] pawbie, i'll hopefully remember that after i upgrade; while upgrading i only wanna run xchat and conky (so no terminal or firefox) [06:30] pawbie: LOL [06:30] How do I use the alternate CD? [06:30] AdrianStrays: Try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-radeon [06:30] pawbie, lol [06:30] does anyone know if i deed to re-install ati drivers after 7.10 to 8.04 upgrade [06:30] that says that it needs a patch for kernel 2.6.24 [06:30] what sort of a patch? [06:30] is there any way to transfer my wubi install to a real one? [06:30] bullgard4 haven't used mc for a while, nice piece of software, no? [06:30] i think my server issue was from lack of knowledge of linux. im sure i couldve fixed it had I tried [06:30] amirman84: dd [06:30] I am trying to install ubuntu and am able to boot up the installation DVD and when it asks for the language I hit enter on english and it works but now whenever i hit enter on install or try or anything else it doesnt work what do i do [06:30] pawbie: dd? [06:31] harriseldon: says I'm connected via eth0 (wired) [06:31] they shouldn't have relesedhardy until wireless worked for all. especially if it worked in gutsy and now it doesn't [06:31] amirman84: man dd [06:31] Johnny_: how long did you wait? [06:31] oh ok [06:31] ripps, it was unable to lock the admin directory [06:31] amirman84 aha! success, it installed nicely [06:31] amirman84 and happens to be working [06:31] cob awhile [06:31] kindofabuzz: 2 words. Screw Broadcom [06:31] over 10 mins [06:31] jim_beam 8.04 has the latest driver from ati already, no need to install the one from the website [06:31] Shadow_X, i just set up my apache server a long time ago with some basic options and never touched it again :p it just starts up with my computer [06:31] Still can't get my chip to work [06:31] jim_beam, i would think not. although im not sure. i expect the upgrade tool would handle packages with no problem. however, if you have problems with X afterwards, I would advise you to reinstall them then [06:31] ripps, nevermind [06:31] mattycoze: awesome, i'm glad you were saved of the headaches i went through [06:31] pawbie: well i like Linksys [06:31] talcite: I have b43-fwcutter installed already [06:31] LainIwakura: I thought you said you were using ndiswrapper? [06:31] kindofabuzz: Screw linksys, too. Atheros ftw. [06:31] thanks [06:31] talcite: no i wasn't [06:31] LainIwakura: and have you loaded fw onto the card? [06:32] ripps, okay I did that. Restart? [06:32] nickrud: I like mc very much. Particularly for its clear arrangement and small footprint. [06:32] talcite: How do I do that? [06:32] kk [06:32] pawbie: never heard of Atheros [06:32] LainIwakura: http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware [06:32] can some1 help me please [06:32] bullgard4 yes, and it's great for looking inside deb packages when your gui is broken ;) [06:32] ceil420, yea, i was running ubuntu for the server. its an apache and file server. i tried upgrading, and it failed to boot so idk. im nervous about this upgrade :P [06:32] LainIwakura: the nice thing about wireless is that its more or less the same across the distros [06:32] I am trying to install ubuntu and am able to boot up the installation DVD and when it asks for the language I hit enter on english and it works but now whenever i hit enter on install or try or anything else it doesnt work what do i do [06:32] kindofabuzz: Google ubiquiti wireless. Best cards ever. [06:32] talcite: know what it means about the patch needed for 2.6.24? [06:32] I am trying to install ubuntu and am able to boot up the installation DVD and when it asks for the language I hit enter on english and it works but now whenever i hit enter on install or try or anything else it doesnt work what do i do [06:32] I am trying to install ubuntu and am able to boot up the installation DVD and when it asks for the language I hit enter on english and it works but now whenever i hit enter on install or try or anything else it doesnt work what do i do [06:32] Johnny_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:32] LainIwakura: you can probably take that info as-is [06:32] usually when I upgrade I completely remove my lamp and reinstall it [06:33] LainIwakura: let me look into it [06:33] srry [06:33] cause its not really a hassle [06:33] can some1 please help m [06:33] e [06:33] ripps, restart? [06:33] hellmitre then at least network manager itself is working, just not the applet [06:33] talcite: I'm a little confused but I will give that link a try.. thanks [06:33] Johnny_ no one is sure, have you run the disk check on the startup menu [06:33] try a reburn Johnny_ [06:33] LainIwakura: Which revision are you using of that chipset? [06:33] nickrud: May God give that my GUI does not break. [06:33] pawbie: i kind of frigured i would be copying files over but which folders do i need and which folders should i totally NOT copy? [06:33] Shadow_X, i'm kinda nervous because i haven't backed anything up; i'm hoping i won't have any problems :x [06:33] kurtis- rev 1 [06:33] nick i cant nothing works [06:33] Oh my, well I hope to be heard above all this noise XD. Hi I have a quick question, I just installed Ubuntu and I can't figure out how to get my sound to work. I'm a generally advanced user though treat me like a basic one because this is my first time using Ubuntu [06:33] Johnny_ try using the alt disk [06:33] damn [06:33] when i hit enter [06:33] wish i had a nice external HDD to back stuff up on :x [06:33] I think I remember something similar [06:33] talcite: i tried to follow that site but when i run make, i get alot of errors, and my hardy is not onliine to get the packages required to fix those errors, someone needs to make a deb of that page [06:33] Hello ! i need some help here ..i need to partition my hard drive and don't know how [06:33] Johnny_ reboot, and run the diskcheck [06:33] what is the alt disk [06:33] amirman84: Ah, no, just use dd. Boot the wubi install, prepare a partition on a physical disk, then dd if=wubipartition of=mynewpartition and walk away for a while. [06:33] lol im already having problems. the upgrader complains about unsupported packages and stops >.> [06:33] Is #ubuntu-offtopic a channel for ONLY off-topic discussion, or it allows off-topic discussion? [06:34] alternative version [06:34] kindofabuzz: are you also using bcmxxxx? [06:34] AndrianStays: Always [06:34] uh [06:34] h/o [06:34] they need more repository servers :P [06:34] <^V^> nickrud: there isa difference. It shows the old menu.lst [06:34] ah! [06:34] LainIwakura: sorry, what did you mean by kernel patches? you shouldn't need to install any others [06:34] LainIwakura: well i'm on gutsy now [06:34] fixed it, harriseldon [06:34] thanks! [06:34] amirman84: you could also using something like g4u or whatever the other Ghost4Linux package is. Or you could even use ghost. [06:34] ^V^ it? you mean, the /boot partition? [06:34] <^V^> yes [06:34] anybody know how I can make my geforce fx 5500 show the entire screen on tv-out instead of just the top left corner? I am using nvidia-glx-new drivers and twinview [06:34] talcite: I was the one who mentioned kernel patches [06:34] I am trying to install ubuntu and am able to boot up the installation DVD and when it asks for the language I hit enter on english and it works but now whenever i hit enter on install or try or anything else it doesnt work what do i do [06:34] talcite: i don't recall mentioning that... ? [06:34] <^V^> nickrud: the boot partition has not been updated [06:34] I have two separate hard drives..one for windows and the other for Ubuntu [06:34] pawbie: i'm really confused [06:34] anyone know how to upgrade from the alternate cd? [06:34] Pradalvr when you install Ubuntu it offers to set up your partitions ... you could also use GParted from the Live CD (I think it's on there) [06:34] can anyone help me with a keyboard problem? My num lock no longer seems to work after the upgrade [06:35] talcite: "# bcm4311 rev 2 / bcm4312 (needs patches for 2.6.24) " [06:35] is it still better to use envy or is the ubuntu restricted drivers better now?? [06:35] kindofabuzz: you probably have unsatisfied dependencies. [06:35] woooo I love Hardy!!!! [06:35] is there a link for64bit kernel [06:35] i love Hardy more! [06:35] I am trying to install ubuntu and am able to boot up the installation DVD and when it asks for the language I hit enter on english and it works but now whenever i hit enter on install or try or anything else it doesnt work what do i do [06:35] amirman84: Hm. You have a wubi install, and want to put it on a physical disk, yes? [06:35] talcite: i know i do, it's a fresh install of Hardy [06:35] Can anyone sugeest a good media player for ubuntu for all my music and that [06:35] although the keyboard light turns on when I do hit the numlock key [06:35] supersako, no need for envy [06:35] Shadow_X, that sounds about like what i had. check the /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log (i think that's the one) and see which packages are failing. i only had four files in that folder (and one of them was blank), so it won't take too long to go through them all :p [06:35] supersako envy = bad [06:35] nick you can try songbird [06:35] pawbie: the wubi install i'm using resides in the partition that i want to copy it to [06:35] cool [06:35] Johnny_: Try hitting space, or click, or tab. Or download and burn again. [06:35] supersako: I got nvidia_glx_new to work without a lot of trouble, but sadly it wasn't nearly as easy as 7.10 [06:35] nick_ Amarok [06:35] talcite: but i can't satisfy those dependancies cause not online [06:35] hi - for hardy, should i use ndiswrapper version 1.9? i want to know if that is the latest one [06:35] while 1 { me.truelove(Hardy); } [06:35] nick_: I prefer rhythmbox, others like amarok [06:35] pawbie: yeah, that's it [06:35] i burned twice [06:35] amirman84: Oh. Good luck. You can dd to a network location and then restore from there? [06:35] Tabasco what do u have to do? [06:35] ^V^ ok, Me, I'd mount it at /mnt and simply copy over all the stuff in boot on the root to the /boot partition [06:35] how do i get amarok [06:36] eugenebythesea, does ndiswrapper not have a website to tell you the latest version? [06:36] same.. i can't get online to apt-get [06:36] seamus7 I'm there and don't know how to use it [06:36] Johnny_: md5 iso make shure its not bad [06:36] nick_: apt-get install amarok ? [06:36] nick_: synaptic or apt-get [06:36] amirman hehe i knew an amir from los angeles that was born in 84 :p [06:36] Hey guys, ive just received an IDE HDD from a friend (crappy 20gig one) so i can load some stuff on there for him, how does one change the owner of the drive so i can delete the items currently on there and reformat it into a diffrent file system using ubuntu? [06:36] nick_: Try exaile [06:36] nick_, ewwww KDE. but yeah, apt-get works [06:36] i don't know [06:36] LainIwakura: did you try that method i posted? [06:36] what is md5 iso [06:36] so whats the best [06:36] Baxtor: Just reformat it. No need to do the other steps. [06:36] pawbie: so is dd or ghost basically creating an image of my disk? [06:36] haha [06:36] eugenebythesea, google is your friend :) [06:36] Baxtor just format it [06:36] !md5sum | Johnny_ [06:36] Johnny_: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [06:36] Can someone help me with te alternate CD? [06:36] Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? [06:36] !who | Johnny_ [06:36] Johnny_: 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 :) [06:36] I prefer KDE myself and am actually using Kubuntu, but my problem isn't Kubuntu-specific. [06:36] supersako: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment your restricted repos, apt-get update and then go the the Hardware Drivers option in System->Administration [06:36] Baxtor, i believe using GParted would solve those issues [06:36] can you just use Gparted? [06:36] Pradalvr: are you dual booting with Windows or installing Ubuntu on a maching by itself? [06:36] amirman84: Ya. The trick with the wubi bit, though, is that you need to boot wubi to "see" your wubi install. [06:36] supersako: i was born in 84 but in Iran [06:36] Baxtor yep [06:36] hm. i could find out about that - but what i really want to know - if .. is that version suitable for hardy? [06:36] cheers [06:37] kindofabuzz: I see. I doubt we'll get a .deb for it soon though. I don't think there's anything you can do in the mean time [06:37] thanx for the afvice [06:37] eugenebythesea, hmm. try apt-cache showpkg ndiswrapper <=- i think that's the command to show you Ubuntu's current version of the package [06:37] srry i am new to irc [06:37] cool =) thanks for that [06:37] np [06:37] pawbie: i am not sure what ti di === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [06:37] kindofabuzz: i'm not sure how to configure ndiswrapper though. i had no problem with fwcutter in gutsy [06:37] what version of fglrx does hardy have? [06:37] talcite: i think i tried to make a deb from gutsy but i don't think it worked [06:37] Kurtis-: I'm not sure which patch its referring to. We're on a pretty recent version of 2.6.24. Have you tried b43 with the firmware? [06:38] dystopianray i dunno ask google :P [06:38] Johnny_ no problem If I may, I'd suggest you use xchat for irc, works better out of the box than pidgin does [06:38] ahh... unmount the drive so you can re-format it.. silly baxtor *duh* [06:38] I downloaded the b43-fwcutter package [06:38] pawbie: when i was looking at where wubi is installed from windows i noticed that there are quite a few ISO's it seems like i should be able to install ubuntu brand new on the partition and restore my system from those ISOs... is that possible? [06:38] and that didn't work [06:38] I'll try compiling it myself, I guess [06:38] eugenebythesea: Ndiswrapper's latest version is 1.52 as of a few weeks ago [06:38] I have a quick question, I just installed Ubuntu and I can't figure out how to get my sound to work. I'm a generally advanced user though treat me like a basic one because this is my first time using Ubuntu [06:38] cupajoe what have you tried so far? What is your sound hardware? [06:38] anyone know how to fix system after Heron dist upgrade dies in the middle? [06:38] LainIwakura: try http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64313/ then rebott, i can't try it yet because i haven't upgraded yet [06:38] Or is there a help page for the alternate CD? [06:38] amirman84: I don't know. Try it and let me know if it works. [06:38] i am on a mac and am using colloquy [06:38] Do i need to install xgl-xserver in order for compiz to work? [06:38] actually Johnny_, chatzilla for firefox is good for beginners also [06:38] eugenebythesea: I don't know if its in the repos yet. [06:38] :) [06:38] i'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop from an external CDROM but the installation stops at 90% on "Loading module "aec62xx" for IDE chipset support", any ideas how to fix this [06:38] kindofabuzz: ok let me try that [06:38] Umm, it's an integrated sound card into the laptop [06:38] talcite: i see.. thanks! [06:39] ok this is to everyone: I am trying to install ubuntu and am able to boot up the installation DVD and when it asks for the language I hit enter on english and it works but now whenever i hit enter on install or try or anything else it doesnt work what do i do [06:39] To tell you the truth I don't remember the hardware off the top of my head, hold on [06:39] cupajoe are you installing hardy?

[06:39] this is really weird cause its not on the list haha [06:39] samliu: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [06:39] not about this [06:39] ah yeah [06:39] Johnny_ when you say you hit enter, you mean you can't even boot up and run the disk check? [06:39] samliu: Can you answer questions regarding the alt cd? [06:39] thats it [06:39] no one knows comps [06:39] pawbie: good call, i think i'm just going to try it out, if i lose this system that would suck but unless they get that LMVP tow ork with 8.04 i don't have many good options [06:39] johnny_, click that, download it etc [06:39] why doe ubuntu work better than windwos [06:40] nick rud: yes [06:40] It's a realtek ALC262 I believe [06:40] nickrud: i cannot get anything to run [06:40] how to reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [06:40] learning here.. how to have synaptic get my file [06:40] no its just that I remember having a similar problem and using the alt disk solved it [06:40] ripps, I did what you said, and videos work now. However, the resolution is screwed up and compiz was off. Restarted compiz and was prompt to install ATI Accelerated Drivers, I'm going to restart now and see if the resolution is better [06:40] do i need to install xgl-xserver in order for compiz to work? [06:40] Johnny_ you need to be more specific. What is anything? [06:40] nick_; because it's foundation is an open source code [06:40] Hey, thanks for everyone who is answering questions I have another: My monitor runs at 1920x1200, and I'm able to select that, but upon logging out, it defaults back to 1680x1050, and I can't figure out how to change this [06:40] Johnny sounds like a bad iso chceck the md5 [06:40] o ok [06:40] Hey, does anyone know how to get evolution to use kerberos tokens? [06:40] nick_ its in the design of linux itself. its Unix based. so its built securely from the ground up. its a difficult thing to explain unless you have a solid foundation in computer/network security [06:40] if it isn't the bad iso, I think it might have to do with either ram or if its an old computer [06:40] <^V^> nickrud: thanks [06:40] what kind of system do you have johnny_ [06:40] ^V^ all good? [06:40] nickrud: when i hit enter nothing runs at all not even the check [06:40] when i search up amarok in packet manager theres heaps f different aarok packages what one should i install [06:41] Armored_Azrae1: That would be awesome. Let me know if you figure it out. [06:41] how to reconfigure xserver-xorg??? what parameters should i use in dpkg-reconfigure "parameters" xserver-xorg??? [06:41] is there any way to get conky embedded to my deskotp like it is in DSL or puppy? [06:41] drivetrax, run the synaptic program. it's a graphical installer; pretty easy. right click on a package you want and select 'Mark for Installation', then when you're done, click "Apply" at the top [06:41] nick_: The one that just says "amarok" [06:41] i'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop from an external CDROM but the installation stops at 90% on "Loading module "aec62xx" for IDE chipset support", any ideas how to fix this [06:41] Damn. I tried selecting gssapi, but it doesn't seem to get the picture :P [06:41] <^V^> nickrud: about to reboot and find out ;) but this is an annoying bug in (k)ubuntu [06:41] Johnny_, have you verified the md5sum for the ISO that you downloaded? [06:41] SecretGirl: Try noacpi ? [06:41] Johnny_: Check the MD5 hash of your CD. It may have been burned incorrectly [06:41] thanks [06:41] pawbie cheers [06:41] SecretGirl, boot with acpi and apm off [06:41] whats that? [06:41] SecretGirl: Better yet - google for the make and model of your laptop and see if anyone else has tried it before. [06:41] dshepard: i cannot dind the md5 check for the mac [06:41] samliu: Or any page that talks about the alt cd? [06:41] is there anyway to do a "normal" install of KDE without ubuntu becoming Kubuntu? [06:41] do i need to install xgl in order for compiz to work? [06:42] The sound doesn't work on my integrated speakers nor if I plug a pair of headsets in [06:42] Shadow_X: You can install KDE from synaptic, and then change your session at the login screen. [06:42] SecretGirl, i had this problem, just tyep boot acpi=off apm=off and it shoudl work, worked for me [06:42] Johnny_ wow, it's probably in your terminal. md5sum /path/to/iso [06:42] doesnt mac have md5sum ? [06:42] Shadow_X: Try xfce4. [06:42] whats the difference between unix and linux [06:42] ezzieyguywuf: compiz should work almost out of the box [06:42] ezzieyguywuf: what ubuntu version are you running and what video card? [06:42] is there any way to get conky embedded to my deskotp like it is in DSL or puppy? [06:42] nick_: A few letters. [06:42] morning [06:42] zero, how do i do that [06:42] nickrud, ok, i thought so too [06:42] And I'm sure that my volume is up though I'm not quite sure if everything is configured correctly [06:42] l [06:42] oh God its hard to read things in this channel xD [06:42] hardy heron and I have a firegl V5200 (lenovo t60p) [06:42] pawbie haha sweet [06:42] (well obviously not because then I would hear sound [06:42] hi..got a problem with my internet speed. downloading and web browsing is very slow. usually my speed is 20kbps now its 6kpbs sometimes below than that. any help pls... [06:42] kindofabuzz: doesn't seem to work [06:42] DShepherd I'm just guessing, but really .... [06:42] zero, conky was designed to be embedded to the desktop. if it's not there when you run it, you're doing it wrong :o [06:42] pawbie, i know i can install kde. but when i did that a year ago, it "transformed" into kubuntu [06:42] Heh, mirrors.kernel.org is still giving 560 kilobytes per second. [06:42] LainIwakura: how is the firmware loading coming? [06:42] nickrud, yeah.. really.... [06:42] can anyone tell me why my xorg changes don't go through? I select 1920x1200 as my resolution in nvidia-settings, it works fine, I save it to xorg, that works, then I reboot, and the changes are gone [06:43] wish i could program so i could help make stuff [06:43] LainIwakura: i was thinking you may have to uncooment the b43xxx also [06:43] zero, where do i type that [06:43] anyreason why Konversation takes a while to start in Hardy Heron? [06:43] ceil420, its in a window on all my computers [06:43] nick_: Unix isn't open source [06:43] Linux is a clone of it [06:43] I'm getting that 'no composite extension available" error, which in the past was solved with xgl, but i think the other day someone said something about heron not needing it? [06:43] oh right [06:43] mlw1: When I use the nvidia app, it doesn't actually write over xorg.conf.... Try hitting "Show Preview" and cut and pasting that into a new xorg.conf [06:43] SecretGirl, its in the boot options of the CD to type that, hit f5 when you boot into the CD [06:43] mikebot [06:43] so you'd blacklist the two things but un blacklist bcm43xx [06:43] samliu: Yes. [06:43] ah [06:43] Kurtis-, many Unices are open source; OpenSolaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc [06:43] thats why [06:43] the alt CD doesnt have the live bootup [06:43] Well, yeah [06:43] But THE Unix isn't [06:44] samliu: I'm sorry? [06:44] samliu: No GUI. [06:44] zero, weird :o i've never even seen it have a window of it's own. look at the .conkyrc's they have on the conky home page and see how they have theirs set up [06:44] right [06:44] hi..got a problem with my internet speed. downloading and web browsing is very slow. usually my speed is 20kbps now its 6kpbs sometimes below than that. any help pls... [06:44] talcite: no idea how to do it.. i'm really a novice === insub is now known as Geedorah [06:44] so it can install in situations the normal disk may come across issues === boomer` is now known as boomer [06:44] which is a good reason why Johnny_ should try it [06:44] LainIwakura: have you compiled a binary from source before? [06:44] unless people have better suggestions lol [06:44] Kurtis-, Bell Labs' UNIX(R) isn't, no :p [06:44] ok does anyone have any advise [06:44] nick_, i'd say different heritage, most unixes go way back whereas linux is a pretty recent thing [06:44] talcite: What are binary? [06:44] that i will know how to do [06:45] ceil420, what? [06:45] zero, f5 is for accessibility options, is that the one [06:45] Johnny_: samliu mentions trying the alt CD. Did you try that? [06:45] Kurtis-, and actually, i think their original Unix was open source. they went closed source later on (maybe as late as System V) [06:45] linux is only 10 years old [06:45] Can someone hep me with upgrading from the alt CD? [06:45] hmm [06:45] talcite: i know how to type ./configure and make. does that count? [06:45] dystopianray: i'm running hardy heron and I have an ATI V5200 video card [06:45] pawbie: binary is the language that the computer naturally understands it is made of 1 and 0s [06:45] ceil420, nope, Bell Labs' Unix was always closed iirc [06:45] !tab Johnny_ pawbie provided the link earlier [06:45] pawbie: idk what u mean [06:45] Johnny_: Hey! Good job. [06:45] kindofabuzz 1991 was only 10 years ago? [06:45] er [06:45] LainIwakura: please don't forget which changes you make by the way. You'll have to undo them to test other methods. [06:45] lol [06:45] ceil420, talcite: the latest ndiswrapper in the repos is 1.50 - so i'll just go with that. blacklisting b43 and getting my driver now [06:45] zero, f5 is for accessibility options, is that the one [06:45] * xepra needs help [06:45] LainIwakura: that's all you need [06:45] LainIwakura: have you installed build-essential? [06:45] ezzieyguywuf: both fglrx and the open source drivers support aiglx now [06:45] zero, there are example .conkyrc files at http://conky.sourceforge.net - base your conkyrc on one of them and modify as necessary [06:45] Anyone know grub and mbr well? [06:45] pawbie: good job about what [06:45] talcite: alright.. i'm going to give ndiswrapper a try first [06:45] Johnny_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ Go there, find the link that says "alternative" for 8.04, and try that one. [06:45] xepra whats the problem [06:45] eugenebythesea: go ahead. 1.50 is fine [06:45] Johnny_, watch out, I patented the 1! [06:45] SecretGirl, its one of the f keys i cant remember exactly wich one [06:45] Kurtis- Yes I installed that [06:45] xepra: whats up mate [06:45] I have some experience [06:45] !md5 | Johnny_ [06:45] Johnny_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [06:45] harriseldon: i could've sworn linux didn't relese the kernel until 1998 [06:45] I am getting "error 22" on my grub [06:46] thanks ceil420 [06:46] linus# [06:46] I accidently told ubuntu server to write grub to mbr [06:46] anyone know how to upgrade from the new alt cd? [06:46] I tried reinstalling, but it didn't work [06:46] I can't get b43-fwcutter to work quite right. My wireless is really slow and I'd like it to work. [06:46] there is no md5check for the mac [06:46] ripps, alright, everything appears to be in working order, and also, it seems like that line issue I was talking about was mysteriously resolved in the process. What was that command you told me to use to get the driver? [06:46] xepra: I am not a grub man [06:46] oh [06:46] super grub boot disk [06:46] Seveas, maybe i was tired at the time and i'm thinking of something different, but i was recently reading about the history of Unix, and i think the earliest versions were open. That might have been before Bell took on the project, though [06:46] unfortunate [06:46] Johnny_ ok, another link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM has exact instructions for the mac. First thing, check to make sure you have a good download [06:46] try googling it [06:46] kindofabuzz: linux was first released in 1991 [06:46] it has an auto fix for that situation [06:46] MrObvious: how did you even get it to work? lol [06:46] LainIwakura: you'll probably have less chance of having ndiswrapper work. It has several bugs regarding WPA authentication [06:46] xepra: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#21 [06:46] hold on [06:46] Or can anyone direct me to a FAQ or information page on the alt CD? [06:46] np zero [06:46] kindofabuzz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel [06:46] is anyone able to help my out with a problem with my numlock activating? [06:47] AdrianStrays: Goto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [06:47] talcite: alright [06:47] * cupajoe raises hand [06:47] LainIwakura: look at http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-old [06:47] How do I edit Grub? [06:47] dystopianray: ok, so I guess aiglx is better than xgl? How do I install this cuz currently I cannot enable compiz, I get "desktop effects could not be enabled" when I try to from system>>preferences>>appearence [06:47] Alright, thanks. For the link and the help! [06:47] http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ [06:47] the instructions wont work for it [06:47] !grub [06:47] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [06:47] LainIwakura: follow those instructions. It should work. Don't forget to un-blacklist b43 [06:47] ezzieyguywuf: what drivera re you using for your video card? [06:47] Johnny_ md5 /path/to/iso , that doesn't work? [06:47] SecretGirl, you get it? [06:47] talcite: my question is this: isn't what is on that page already installed in hardy? [06:47] !xepra [06:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about xepra - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:47] http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ [06:47] nickrud: idk what the path is [06:47] harriseldon: my bad, i saw somehtin that was 10 years old this year and it mentioned Linus [06:47] pawbie: a binary is a program [06:47] please have a look :D [06:47] is there a way to remove grub from mbr completely? [06:48] i am on a mac and dont know how to check path [06:48] kindofabuzz: What do you mean? [06:48] so when i drag windows around, they are wobbly and awesome, is the compiz-fusion at work? [06:48] talcite: Because I already have b43-fwcutter installed [06:48] talcite: Fail. :\ [06:48] download the disk, boot up, follow the screens [06:48] kindofabuzz: I just did the restricted thingy and it worked. [06:48] its pretty straightforward [06:48] Johnny_ the path is the file folder structure. [06:48] it'll rewrite your mbr and grub stuff [06:48] :D [06:48] nickrud: what does that mean [06:48] I am having a problem getting an external NTFS drive to automount in Hardy. Gutsy automounted, but Hardy will not. [06:48] samliu: Is that to me? [06:48] dystopianray: I can't tell. In gutsy, I was prompted on my first boot up to install restricted drivers, but for Hardy I was not asked that, nor could I find the option in System>>administration. How can i check which driver I am using? [06:48] nickrud: can we private chat [06:48] kindofabuzz there is a good documentary called revolution os about linux history. it covers the 1999 time frame, but very good [06:48] MrObvious: most people can't even get b43cutter working at all, at least your is working [06:48] LainIwakura: no idea. I don't know what hardy installs by default. I would make sure you have the firmware installed just to be sure [06:48] my ubuntu hardy is slower than my xp install, what gives?How do i make sure my intel graphics card is running optimum, it's way too sluggish at the mo? [06:48] nickrud: to get rid of this clutter [06:48] no its to xepra sorry mikebot [06:48] lol [06:48] hello to all.... ^_^ im back [06:48] LainIwakura: also, use the b43-firmware cutter from that page [06:48] harriseldon: yeah i been meaning to watch that [06:49] yay, Grub error 21 again. [06:49] hm [06:49] Johnny_ I've never used a mac, so I can't tell you how the mac's file structure is laid out. But I'm sure there's some info on the mac sites [06:49] kindofabuzz: I don't know. I have the bcm94311 chipset. [06:49] LainIwakura: it seems to be version specific [06:49] nickrud: Do you know about the alt CD installation? [06:49] f6 is for other options, i wrote what you said and hit enter, now its booting [06:49] zero, what is the problem exactly? [06:49] gnuskoo1: disable advanced desktop effects [06:49] talcite: ok i'll do that now [06:49] ezzieyguywuf: hrrm i'm not entirely sure as xorg.conf no longer displays the driver in use [06:49] LainIwakura: alright. Good luck. I need to sleep. Exam tmr =/ [06:49] ezzieyguywuf: try running the restricted drivers thing manually [06:49] sorry guys I'm out to bed [06:49] talcite: thanks [06:49] samliu: they arent even on, i get a compiz error when i try enable them [06:49] oh [06:49] hmm [06:50] sry I gtg [06:50] ttyl [06:50] Hello. How do you upgrade by CD? [06:50] samliu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:50] !paste [06:50] 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) [06:50] I have a quick question, I just installed Ubuntu and I can't figure out how to get my sound to work. I'm a generally advanced user though treat me like a basic one because this is my first time using Ubuntu. I am, however, sure that the volume is turned up in the software and not muted. I'm running on a laptop with integrated speakers, I believe it uses Realtek hardware. I don't know how to figure out what driver Ubuntu is using for it [06:50] dystopianray: yea so i'm kinda stuck. I just did a clean install. the other day i upgraded from gutsy, and got compiz to work after installing xgl but it was sluggish and buggy, so i'm trying to find alternatices [06:50] anyone know how to upgrade from the new alt cd? [06:50] Okay, I'm going to have to edit menu.lst to cut the time from 10 seconds to 3 or something [06:50] * dsmith_ was able to avoide the new release this time yay! I downloaded 8.04 ahead of time and updated just now...

[06:50] can someone please tell me if there is any program for Gnome (gutsy) which allows you to change the volume for different apps? === test is now known as rich_freecomm [06:51] !filesystem [06:51] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [06:51] LainIwakura: oh one more thing. Check your system logs often when connection and modprobing modules. /var/log/messages in particular [06:51] This freaky bird background has got to go.l [06:51] talcite: ok [06:51] or kernel. Either may turn something up [06:51] don't like the heron? [06:51] its a heron [06:51] is it tux? [06:51] I think the heron's quite nice [06:51] Peddy: afaik, you would have to enable pulseaudio like hardy has installed. [06:51] anyways. night guys [06:51] heroin heron [06:52] okay, what the hell, this still isn't working [06:52] heron destroyed everything. i just lost a lot to the failed upgrade [06:52] uhh i just deleted my bars on the top right for the wireless networking how do i get it back?? :( [06:52] Kurtis- this makes me want to go back to gutsy [06:52] Hi I can install any extensions in firefox in 8.04, they all fail with an error [06:52] supersako run nm-applet (alt-f2 then type nm-applet) [06:52] backharlow: you didn't lose anything, all your personal shit is still on the hard drives [06:52] hi [06:52] LainIwakura: why?? is hardy not fine? [06:52] Well, I'm afraid Gutsy never worked on this laptop [06:52] cant* [06:52] no go harriseldom [06:52] zero, i'm at a command prompt, now what?? [06:52] many of you people make or work on programs for linux [06:52] I'm going to cry. [06:52] did on my previous... [06:53] Kurtis-: how so?

[06:54] MrObvious: yeah there are alot of bug reports with broadcom chips [06:54] Ok, someone sanity check this for me.

I do not know what mechanism osx uses by default. you may want to find that out first [06:59] karllenz: then it must not be sharing anything [06:59] ^V^ ah, you're using the hardy kernel now :) [06:59] nickrud: It seems that at file 1085 of 1228 it starts downloading from the internet. [06:59] what's the new line at sources.list to replace gutsy? [06:59] <^V^> nickrud: yes :) [06:59] nickrud: Instead of off the CD.. [06:59] harris i tried that but its not the one that was there default [06:59] just a quick question. where there any last minute updates made today after the official release? [06:59] mikebot alt-f8 will show the install log, you can see for sure what it's doing [06:59] is it normal that packages are showing as 'unauthenticated'? [06:59] i wonder if there's anyway to upgrade from the hardy iso? [06:59] Shadow_X: no [06:59] Shadow_X: Yep working, deleted the profile...shoulda thought of that. Thanks. [07:00] Shadow_X: well not that i saw anyway [07:00] * MrObvious needs some sleep. [07:00] is it just me or sudo is horribly broken as it displays my password? [07:00] nickrud: Where/when do I press this? [07:00] Hi everyone! Im trying to install Hardy, but when it comes to the partition bit. my partitions dont show up and just shows the whole disk with no partitions. However in the live CD i can look thru my partitions with no problem [07:00] hey im getting this error when i try to open eclipse [07:00] i'm installing ubuntu from an external cdrom, someone recommended booting with acpi and apm off, i did that and now i'm at a command prompt. what should i do now [07:00] A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) [07:00] must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine [07:00] was found after searching the following locations: [07:00] /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/bin/java [07:00] obf213: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:00] supersako, I do not know what applet you had before, sorry [07:00] I am having a problem getting an external NTFS drive to automount in Hardy. Gutsy automounted, but Hardy will not. [07:00] mikebot at any time [07:00] nickrud: I'm running it from my desktop... should I boot from CD or something? [07:00] obf213: what jdk do you have installed? [07:00] openjdk 6 [07:00] h00k what have you done so far to figure out what is happening? [07:00] mikebot your last line does not compute ;) [07:00] obf213: edit /etc/eclipse/java_home [07:00] sorry about the flood i didnt think it would do the newline like that [07:00] harris, the one that comes with ubuntu LOL [07:00] its a different icon [07:01] ^V^ a sec, I'll put together a stanza for you [07:01] obf213: put /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk at the top of the list [07:01] ...in sources.list...shoul I replace gutsy by hardy?(the upgrade app hangs) [07:01] supersako I thought it was nm-applet, maybe it changed in hardy [07:01] could be?? [07:01] i keep typing in nm-applet nothing happens [07:01] nickrud: I mean, I thought that I would be installing from the CD, not downloading from the internet.. alt+f8 is not doing anything. [07:01] alt+f2 nm-applet [07:01] how do i change the permissions on a partition to me? [07:01] can I set limits for a AMD processor? (max ghz) if yes, with powernowd? [07:01] !grub [07:01] * cupajoe raises hand [07:01] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:01] mikebot might be alt-f4 [07:01] harriseldon: it's not showing up in /dev [07:01] supersako try nm-applet --sm-disable [07:01] Does ayone know much about kmplot [07:01] !chown [07:01] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[07:02] harriseldon: dmesg reports 'sdb' when i plug it in, but I cant manually mount because I don't see it in /dev/ [07:02] nickrud: That asked me if I wanted to cancel the upgrade... I'm running it right now./ [07:02] nickrud: I just put the CD in and clicked on `run upgrade' [07:02] ahhh i got it [07:02] ripps, I take that back...the lines and video issues returned when I reactive compiz [07:02] harris, i need to add notification area [07:02] anyone good with wireless issues here? === ademan_ is now known as ademung [07:02] h00k sdb is just the device, not the partition, you cannot mount just the device [07:03] mikebot ah, you're upgrading, not doing a fresh instal [07:03] i freakn deleted the notification area ! :P [07:03] silly 8.04, won't set up grub right [07:03] harriseldon: there is no sdb1, sdb2 to mount either [07:03] my sound keeps going out, and i have to reboot for it to start again. is there a way to restart alsa or something? :/ [07:03] xepra: I seem to be having the same issue... Error 21. [07:03] nickrud: Correct. [07:03] I had a similar problem on desktop edition [07:03] Why would Hardware Drivers in Hardy not list an nVidia card as it did with RDM in Feisty? [07:03] but i was able to fix it, just had to change hd7 to hd0 [07:03] nickrud: And I'm confused as to why it is downloading from the internet instead of installing from the CD. [07:03] now its all fubar [07:03] does someone have problems with the framebuffer in hardy? [07:03] hi i ran update manager and hit check. im on 7.10 by the way. it says its downloading 26 files and i think theyre repository info but its not updating to 8.04 [07:03] mikebot yes, you have some packages that you downloaded from the net in gutsy, and are not on the cd. It has to go to the net to get those files [07:04] my inittab only displays white background [07:04] a working xorg.conf for Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics please, or where do i change this in te gui? [07:04] nickrud, can you help me or are your hands full? [07:04] h00k are there any errors in dmesg? [07:04] AdrianStrays a sec, I'm stretched with 2. Be done with one as soon as I finish some editing [07:04] dystopianray: thanks [07:04] asskum [07:04] nickrud: Is there any way to bypass this process? [07:04] i'm installing ubuntu from an external cdrom, someone recommended booting with acpi and apm off, i did that and now i'm at a command prompt. what should i do now [07:04] nickrud, alright I'll wait [07:05] Anyone with flashing screen issues with nvidia drivers ? [07:05] only on the primary monitor (8600 gt) [07:05] ok while attempting an upgrade I keep getting the error: "Unable to calculate upgrade" and the installer stops. any suggestions? [07:05] any known problems with slow internet in hardy? [07:05] mikebot none that I'm aware of. You could try unplugging your ethernet ;) [07:05] harriseldon: I know the drive is okay, and ->http://pastebin.com/m3e728ab [07:05] zenlunatic: are you referring to the repositories? [07:05] nickrud: Heh, ughhhhhh OK, thanks. [07:05] Will upgrading to Hardy Heron ruin ndiswrapper? [07:06] my wireless seems to have a weaker signal since upgrading to hardy.... but no slower wired connections [07:06] hi i ran update manager and hit check. im on 7.10 by the way. it says its downloading 26 files and i think theyre repository info but its not updating to 8.04 [07:06] Ok, now I'm totally confused. I know for a fact this is on SATA channel 4, sdc. But I can boot that disk with BIOS options and change root to hd(0,0) and it books? [07:06] Kurtis-: no. just browsing ff [07:06] can someone help me out [07:06] wow, ubuntus way of managing grub is a bit in the dark ages [07:06] I've not had any slow browsing experiences. [07:06] h00k it looks like you are getting io errors [07:06] a little help with upgrading to Hardy, please? [07:06] h00k did you try any other usb ports to confirm that it is not a problem with the port? [07:06] Kurtis-: thanks [07:06] !ask [07:06] 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. :-) [07:06] !upgrade [07:06] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:06] harriseldon: let me try... [07:06] Kurtis-, congratulations [07:07] got a problem with hardy, i have a panel with icons at the bottom of my desktop, but when i restart it moves the panel to the top. whats going on? [07:07] Will upgrading to Hardy Heron ruin ndiswrapper? [07:07] i need help upgrading from 7.10 can anyone help me out [07:07] A friend of mine got his card to work with ndiswrapper [07:07] I can't, though [07:07] towlie, the servers are being extremely slow today because of the new release. everyone is upgrading today, so the servers are under extreme stress. furthermore, after the check is finished, you need to click "upgrade" at the top of the update manager [07:07] towlie: what's the problem? [07:07] i'm trying to install ubuntu on my laptop from an external CDROM but the installation stops at 90% on "Loading module "aec62xx" for IDE chipset support", any ideas how to fix this [07:07] ^V^ I think http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64316/ should work, your drives all being seen as serial devices should remove all the sata/pata pain [07:07] which is bothersome because he's an absolute n00b to Linux and I've been using it for a few years now [07:08] seamus7, i ran update manager hit check and it says its downloading 45 files. once it completes i hit check again and it does the same thing over and over again [07:08] AdrianStrays now, ask me your question so I can probably say, 'no freaking clue' ;) [07:08] I am using the cdromupgrade (Alternate CD) because I have very slow Internet Connection (ADSL). wanted to ask if why the method i'm using is still connecting to the internet.. [07:08] this question is NOT ABOUT HARDY: should I set up the rsync daemon to use xinetd like this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync) says, or use a regular UNIX daemon? (I'm trying to get BackupPC working.) [07:08] root@sextasy:/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/sound/pci/cs5535audio# insmod snd-cs5535audio.ko [07:08] insmod: error inserting 'snd-cs5535audio.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module [07:08] :D [07:08] Okay, I'm giving up. I'll try Hardy on my laptop once others have actually had success, heh [07:08] I'll just stick with it on my desktop [07:08] Has the chat calmed down a bit? [07:08] jeffimperial because you have installed stuff during gutsy that is still only available over the net [07:08] so i can finally ask my question? [07:08] nickrud, so my issue was originally this. Whenever I change screens or played videos, these vertical lines appeared all over my screen. I posted on the ubuntu forums, someone suggested I use EnvyNG. I did, and that made things worse. The lines remained, and now I couldn't watch videos, nothing displayed. I worked with ripps on here, and we were able to reverse some of the problem. Videos now work and lines are gone when comp [07:09] harriseldon: no errors, but it does keep saying [ 920.986234] usb 7-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 [07:09] and I can't follow this chat. It's giving me a major headache. Too many users [07:09] why does my partitions not show up in gparted when using the hardy live cd? [07:09] seamus7, can i pm you [07:09] 'night to the ones where it's actually night [07:09] Kurtis-: still a busy chat, eh? [07:09] towlie: sound like what others have said ... it's just not able to complete the download fully because of the load on servers at the moment ... might need to wait til tomorrow [07:09] quite [07:09] nickrud: any workaround so that Update Manager won't connect to the Internet? [07:09] towlie: yes [07:09] !party [07:09] Please remember that #ubuntu, #kubuntu, #xubuntu, and #edubuntu are support channels. To countdown to Hardy release and then party once it happens, join #ubuntu-release-party - For in-person parties, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseParties [07:09] I'm used to channels with a max of 50 users [07:09] hmmm [07:09] I just intalled the nvidia drivers [07:10] this question is NOT ABOUT HARDY: should I set up the rsync daemon to use xinetd like this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync) says, or use a regular UNIX daemon? (I'm trying to get BackupPC working.) [07:10] <^V^> nickrud: thanks [07:10] but I cant run dual monitors [07:10] whu not using a torrent file? [07:10] jeffimperial you can try disabling all your sources, except for the cdrom. It probably won't work, since you'd have some broken packages. [07:10] SecretGirl: probably a malburnt CD. Try the check cd for defect option in the boot menu [07:10] !party | Everybody, DO NOT IGNORE THIS MESSAGE [07:10] Everybody, DO NOT IGNORE THIS MESSAGE: please see above === towlie is now known as towlieban [07:10] does someone have problems with the framebuffer in hardy? [07:10] harriseldon: now I disconnected the drive and got I/O errors again, unable to read partition table. This isn't cool, I'll see what I can do [07:10] anyway, bye [07:10] ^V^ thank me if it works ;) [07:10] how to make compiz work again on hardy [07:10] ? [07:10] I was running update-manager to update to hardy. When it update-manager started to remove old packages my power went down. How may I fix this? [07:10] nickrud, I'm using a Raedon Xpress 1100 card. I've been having massive amounts of issues since upgrading, and in all honestly, I'm having trouble remembering all the things we've done. [07:10] nickrud: how 'bout just turning off my modem? would the Upd. Mgr. still continue to work if i just unplug it? [07:10] zelrikriando: Doesn't it work? [07:10] Arelis, what message are we not supposed to ignore? [07:11] CD is fine [07:11] can anyone help me in cpanel stuff i recently got a server and im trying to make users for cpanel [07:11] my sound keeps going out, and i have to reboot for it to start again. is there a way to restart alsa or something? :/ [07:11] leonbrussels: lots of things got broken when I upgraded [07:11] jeffimperial it'll try to download from the net, but get 404's. Then you can depend on breakage [07:11] I have a quick question, I just installed Ubuntu and I can't figure out how to get my sound to work. I'm a generally advanced user though treat me like a basic one because this is my first time using Ubuntu. I am, however, sure that the volume is turned up in the software and not muted. I'm running on a laptop with integrated speakers, I believe it uses Realtek hardware. I don't know how to figure out what driver Ubuntu is using for it [07:11] leonbrussels, someone recommended booting with acpi and apm off, i did that and now i'm at a command prompt. what should i do now [07:11] leonbrussels: I cant even start the synaptic manager [07:11] argh [07:11] zelrikriando: OPen up a terminal and type compiz. Thne give the output [07:11] Grub fragged my stripe set. [07:11] cupajoe: sometimes the drivers don't work by default, I never could get them to work right in fact [07:11] Waffle: the chat about release partying - because, yesterday, many people were coming in and saying "Hardy got released!", so people wouldn't get good support [07:11] harriseldon: any ideas off the top of your head? [07:11] im trying to upgrade to hardy, and even after removing unsupported packages, the upgrade still fails and complains that it can calculate the changes. any ideas? [07:12] SecretGirl is this a macbook pro? [07:12] Well that's depressing :/ [07:12] AdrianStrays the end of your question got cut off [07:12] SecretGril: Try pressing Control+D and it will normally continue booting normally [07:12] nickrud: oh well... three hourse and 122 files to go then.. thanks anyway [07:12] SecretGirl: Try pressing Control+D and it will normally continue booting normally [07:12] Waffle: err, chat = message [07:12] leonbrussels: http://pastebin.com/m45855108 [07:12] Anyone else have thoughts? [07:12] hey again, I'm having some big problems connecting to a sftp server in 8.04. It worked fine and extremely fast on 7.10, but now using connect to server and specifying the same settings gives me errors after about one folder access. Any ideas? [07:12] h00k I have no idea, it seems like a hardware issue. do you have another computer to test with? even a 7.10 live cd if that worked before [07:12] cupajoe: google around, sometimes you just have to build/install your own [07:12] which isn't too bad [07:12] leonbrussels: the synaptic package manager is more important I guess [07:12] jeffimperial yeah, the downside of using a net oriented os. I used to update debian unstable over a modem, so I have only a little sympathy ;) [07:12] do we need to install the simple ccsm now for compiz? [07:13] supersako: Fusion-icon [07:13] Nickrud, this may be easier: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765749 [07:13] Well I can install my own but I don't quite have the level of skill needed to build a driver [07:13] does Ubuntu Hardy still support single-core 32-bit CPU like Intel Celeron? [07:13] harriseldon: I'll try a live CD, I have some other utils I can try. It /just/ worked today, newer drive, backed up all my info to it before my upgrade [07:13] harriseldon, no, a compaq nx9010 [07:13] i have cpanel installed but i dunno how to use it [07:13] im reading this thing that says u need to dl a new thing called simple-ccsm [07:13] the_darkside_986: yes, of course it does [07:13] nickrud: thanks man.. at least i can stop wondering.. have to leave the effing room so that i could maximize the bandwidth.. laters [07:13] SecretGirl I saw some macbook pro threads with the same error, I will keep checking [07:13] hi all [07:13] leonbrussels, control+d dush do anything i'm still in the built in shell [07:14] the_darkside_986: yes [07:14] hi all0ModeLine "1280x800" 80.58 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 8270? [07:14] ok. and i386 is the right iso? [07:14] err [07:14] Nickrud, that is the beginning. The problem has changed alittle. Now when I switch off compiz, videos work fine and the lines are gone, when I switch it back on, the lines show up, a bit less, and videos are blinky and have lines all over them. [07:14] zelrikriando: Is synaptic broken? [07:14] the_darkside_986: yes [07:14] the_darkside_986: thats like 90% of all computers, so of course [07:14] leonbrussels: yeah [07:14] is there any reason why I can not run 1280x800 on with nvidia drivers? [07:14] is there a terminal command to change the resolution of a monitor that I could add to my session commands for startup? [07:14] I blacklisted ssb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist along with b43. b43 is no longer loading, but ssb is. How do I fix this? [07:14] does anybody know how to install ubuntu from the shell [07:14] step by step [07:14] jia hao [07:14] zelrikirando: What does it say? [07:14] Hello, everybody. I want to get my Wacom Bamboo Fun (which is an USB tablet you connect to the pc, used to draw pictures or animations on a computer, or write some things down) to work with Ubuntu Hardy. Many people had 'promised' (somewhat) that the Bamboo Fun would automatically work in Hardy. Up to now, it doesn't. There's not even a /dev/input/wacom . So how do i get it to work? [07:14] youren ma [07:14] AdrianStrays ah, if it's only with compiz, ask in #compiz-fusion. They know how that interacts with the various video drivers [07:14] SecretGirl: sounds like you'll need the alternate install cd [07:15] zelrikriando: What does it say? [07:15] Nickrud, I already tried them, no one responded. [07:15] ok thanks. and is this the correct output of uname -a on my system that has Intel Celeron 3.2 Ghz: "Linux hardy-desktop 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux" ? [07:15] AdrianStrays cdlrb, watch for him. [07:15] /join #ubuntu-cn [07:15] Hola, I got a question about another game...Its called Eclipse and it allows you to build your own ORPG and I've got it working, but I can't enter the admin panel with the F1 button, why is this? [07:15] Nickrud, I believe it has something to do with xorg.conf [07:15] Tweaker is it native or through Wine? [07:15] Through Wine [07:16] AdrianStrays crldb maybe, one of those meaningless character strings. He's already in bed probably, but is around nearly daily, for long periods [07:16] leonbrussels: that s weird...I can run it through the terminal [07:16] dystopianray, the cd is fine i checked and there's no problem, its an original cd that i ordered [07:16] the_darkside_986: i think SMP means dual core/multi procs [07:16] hi im trying to add cdrom to apt... i get E: Failed to mount the cdrom. [07:16] does anybody know how to install ubuntu from the shell, step by step [07:16] SecretGirl: still, it sounds like you'll need the alternate install cd [07:16] Tweaker F1 is already mapped in gnome, you need to change the mapping there first. Gnome hot keys will be use before wine [07:16] harriseldon: Well, I turned the drive off for a bit, moved the usb cables a little, and it works now, automount and all. [07:16] yeah that's why i am worried. and it would explain the awful behavior of the whole system. but it doesn't act like that on the live cd [07:16] nickrud, alright I'll try back in the morning [07:16] anyone know what I might be doing wrong to have my display resolution overwritten on every reboot? [07:16] Ok, how do I do this Harriseldon.? [07:16] does anyone have any ideas on this [07:16] harriseldon: that scared me. thanks for letting me think out loud about it ;) [07:17] AdrianStrays between you and me, I don't use compiz on my 1100, it's just to freaking slow [07:17] my mode line does not work [07:17] the_darkside_986: all ubuntu is going to support SMP, so you're using the right one [07:17] h00k anytime, I am glad that it worked [07:17] Anyone know if the Hardy Live CD has better Nvidia Graphics driver support than Gusty Gibbon did? [07:17] zelrikriando: try typing sudo apt-get install gedit [07:17] got a problem with hardy, i have a panel with icons at the bottom of my desktop, but when i restart it moves the panel to the top. whats going on? [07:17] the_darkside_986: if performance isn't very good, you probably need to enable the nonfree video driver [07:17] hi im trying to add hardy cdrom to apt... i get E: Failed to mount the cdrom. [07:17] Aces| it has the latest nvidia driver, while gutsy's was months out of date [07:17] zelrikriando: You already have that installed, but it will tell you where it chrashes [07:18] I already have the non-free nvidia driver setup. The whole system lags and startup time is extremely long. [07:18] Aces|: from my experience so far, yes. all the multiverse etc is default [07:18] Anyone know if there is an eclipse PDT (PHP Development framework) package in any Ubuntu repos? [07:18] leonbrussels: it s not crashing [07:18] ok thanks nickrud I just had quite a bit of troubling installing 7.10 with the live cd so I ended up having to use the alternate [07:18] the_darkside_986: what do you mean by "lags"? [07:18] Ok thanks [07:18] For anyone who wants to get a Wacom Bamboo Fun to work in Ubuntu, click this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4787309#post4787309 [07:18] nickrud, I think I'll disable it for now, I'm just frustrated that I went from Gusty, where everything worked, to Hardy where all I've had is graphics issues. I was kind of hoping things would get better. Thanks anyways [07:18] Ill give it a try [07:18] dystopianray, if there was a problem with cd, wouldn't the scan for defects return something [07:18] Hardy is lagging! [07:18] the_darkside_986: generic kernel enables SMP only if it can. the SMP mention is because it supports it. [07:18] why cant I run 1280x800? [07:18] 8.04 is cool [07:18] anyone know any quick fixes for this? [07:18] zelrikriando: So only synaptic is crashing? [07:18] anyone know xen well? [07:18] leonbrussels: only from the taskbar [07:18] Does anyone know what the F1 key does in gnome so I can unassign it? [07:18] Acoustyk: obviously, you haven't given any details of the problem [07:19] SecretGirl: not if the problem is related to hardware incompatibilities [07:19] Everytime I start a process such as synaptic, it seems that it tries to hog the CPU and even the mouse cursor freezes for a while. [07:19] AdrianStrays all I can say is everything worked fine for me (beta install nearly 2 months ago, and updates since then. First time that Works for Me™ :) [07:19] leonbrussels: I can start it from a terminal [07:19] lol [07:19] Tweaker, I do not see the setting for F1 in keyboard shortcuts. I am not sure where it is being "trapped" [07:19] well when browsing I notice lag in the scrolling [07:19] very jagged and what not [07:19] anyone know xen well? I had a question on the gui... [07:19] Tweaker, does Eclipse have any way to remap the keys? [07:19] also my boot time has doubled [07:19] Hmm, could it be some were else then? [07:19] Sadly no it does not, F1 always opens the Admin panels [07:19] the_darkside_986: try disabling "visual effects" in the Appearance settings [07:19] leonbrussels: "sudo: unable to resolve host shipon " why is that? [07:20] and I have an Application problem alert upon logging in [07:20] I've already disabled visual effects. [07:20] I am so pissed off at 8.04 right now. [07:20] hm [07:20] Ok guys I am running the nvidia driver [07:20] Acoustyk: wow. lots of problems [07:20] yea [07:20] I can not get 1280x800 to work for some reason even tho the lcd I selected is 1280x800 [07:20] zelrikriando: Weird, dunno, maybe you just want to do a clean install but copying your home directory so you can keep all you settings, thats what I'm gonna do when it finished copying [07:21] leonbrussels: I dont want to do that [07:21] I can go 1280X720 [07:21] Why would Hardware Drivers in Hardy not list an nVidia card as it did with RDM in Feisty? [07:21] zelrikriando: Then I don't know, sorry :( [07:21] i have installed ubuntu before on the laptop [07:21] no problems then, but i do have some malfunctioning hardware, do u think it has something to do with it [07:21] cant i install ubuntu from a command prompt [07:21] Tweaker Acoustyk isn't it alt-f1 for the panel menus? [07:21] bye everybody, whish me luck for installing [07:21] yea [07:22] what would happen if i added the 8.04 cd to the 7.10 repositories in synaptic? [07:22] A "sudo apt-get update" must be done to let non-free nvidia card drivers show up in the hardware manager if you didn't let the installer "scan the mirrors" during installation. [07:22] no problems with the panel other than a slight delay [07:22] Uhm Im talking about the Panels in this game.F1 opens them and would alt F1 still affect the key mapping? [07:22] anyone know of a way to resize the terminal and keep it at your desired size? [07:22] I found a tweak to solve the same problem in 7.10 tho [07:22] Shadow_X: you would be upgrading to Hardy, which does work. however, that usually causes little bugs here and there [07:23] Acoustyk it's modifiable, in metacity at /apps/metacity/global_keybindings, and compiz in ccsm in general options, keybindings tab [07:23] NukeSkyjumper, just wondering. because i keep getting upgrade errors while trying to do a "normal" upgrade and im getting sick of it lol [07:23] Acoustyk unless I've totally missed the question ;) [07:23] i have my stuff backed up anyway, so im not too concerned about a failure during upgrade [07:23] lol yea you did [07:23] im having lag problems [07:23] hi im trying to add hardy cdrom to apt... i get E: Failed to mount the cdrom. [07:23] im on ubuntu 7.1 just installed it 2 days ago would upgrading to 8 be better is there better support [07:23] I threw in that caveat when I saw you say lag just before :) [07:24] Shadow_X: if you edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and change "gutsy" to "hardy" and then upgrade all packages, you should get a working hardy system [07:24] monitors works via GUI in 8.04!!! [07:24] so i guess the consensus is that gutsy may still be better than hardy [07:24] :) [07:24] yea [07:24] nick_ gutsy will have support for another year right here, as well as hardy [07:24] hmm ok. i'll try that [07:24] that's kinda what i've been gathering [07:24] hi [07:24] in 8.04 I cant enable "normal" effects [07:24] getting crash [07:24] Johnny_5 I'm voting hardy big time [07:24] sweet [07:24] heh [07:25] hey how do i cascade the windows ? [07:25] Wavesonics: do you have the nonfree video driver enabled? [07:25] i'm just not convinced i need 2 upgrade from gutsy quite yet [07:25] I've run every release, and breezy for me was the most trouble free one, but hardy is running close [07:25] Tweaker have you tried a virtual desktop with wine (use winecfg)? I am just guessing here since I do not know [07:25] NukeSkujumper: I dont think so, should I? [07:25] Give me a second and I can try that [07:25] I have an ATI card [07:25] Wavesonics: yeah, it'll enable 3d support [07:25] Johnny_5 waiting a couple weeks is not a bad idea, just in case some bad bugs suddenly crop up and need fixing [07:26] though i'm not sure how much better the nonfree ATI driver is than the open source one [07:26] ok [07:26] you should still try it [07:26] devin_: not that I know of. However, the man page says that if you add --geometry=(number of chars horizontal)x(number of chars vertical) it will set your terminal to a specified size by default [07:26] ah... [07:26] Wavesonics if you have a 9550 or later, you will need the restricted one to run 3d apps [07:27] i recently saw a video of ubuntu where they were able to cascade the windows and it looked quite cool .. how does one do that ? [07:27] ricree ill give it a try [07:27] laiya: System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Settings. it's in there, somewhere [07:27] laiya it may have been with compiz-fusion (aka desktop effects) [07:28] laiya: though you probably need to "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" first [07:28] ya^ [07:28] question: can ext3 filesystem and ntfs file system exist on one driver under different partitions? thank you [07:28] i want to upgrade from feisty to hardy can i just do "dist-upgrade" ? [07:28] mudd`Hossam: yes of course [07:28] mudd`Hossam yes [07:28] anyone know how to stop lag in firefox 3 on hardy? [07:28] Hi. I'm having problems with gdm or something from gnome. My desk freezes just from checking properties on a panel applet, or trying to change desktop background. Alt+tab and other window shortcut keys still function. Could you help me trace to problem? [07:28] more specifically (a raid0 array of two drives) [07:28] YES, thank you very much [07:28] damo22 do-release-upgrade is preferred [07:29] Acoustyk: nobody knows what you mean by "lag". you need to be more specific [07:29] the scrolling is awfully jagged [07:29] does anyone know what happened to the "xmms" package? it's in gutsy but not hardy [07:29] Acoustyk: what is the cpu usage like? [07:29] prodigel once you are in gnome, gdm is out of the picture [07:29] Lardarse, i know!! :( [07:29] damo22 it does some checks specific to ubuntu (don't ask me exactly what they are, one of the uber-geeks told me that) [07:29] how do I check that in ubuntu? [07:29] Bring back XMMS!! [07:29] what's XMMS? [07:29] NukeSkyjumper: installing [07:29] Lardarse: check add remove, but first allow backports [07:30] nickrud: E: Invalid operation do-release-upgrade [07:30] tijn they replaced it with xmms2 [07:30] XceII: i did [07:30] hi, my nvidia doesnt work sine I installed hardy. In Launchpad a lot of people is complaining about the same. Anybody knows a way to solve it? [07:30] Acoustyk: System>Administration>System Monitor [07:30] i never knew how to check that on ubuntu [07:30] NukeSkyjumper: how will that app help me ? [07:30] xmms2 is a client server modell? [07:30] ok [07:30] interesting, mine has it [07:30] nickrud: umm... that sounds like a step backwards... [07:30] what's the feedback coming in, generally good, bad, average? [07:30] laiya: that app lets you configure all of the window managing effects [07:30] Acoustyk: Also, the top comand line utility will do that [07:30] oh ok [07:30] harriseldon: ok, so something freezes in gnome and I don't know why. I've waited for updates hoping it will be solved, but nothing. Now 8.04 was launched and I'm still having problems [07:30] damo22 it's a command unto itself , /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade [07:30] I'm going to cry. [07:30] I just found the most beautiful theme ever but the matching icons won't work :( [07:30] I guess I can talk about Hardy in this channel now????? [07:30] Theme: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Elegant+Brit?content=74553 [07:30] why is evry1 havin probs after upgrading to 8.04 [07:30] r00723r0: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:31] Prez00: generally good from the people who did clean installs, and bad from people who upgraded... go figure [07:31] Not flooding. [07:31] Icons: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/area+o.42+SVG+icon+theme?content=78259 [07:31] timr92: Planet alignment. [07:31] ricree: ext3 has 8.3 gigs free [07:31] Lardarse which does? [07:31] Lardarse: great... i am looking to upgrade... [07:31] Hi, i'm trying to enable my ATI proprietary driver and it says "Invalid xorg.conf" [07:31] Prez00: back up as much as you can [07:31] Is anyone else getting this systems asses handed to them by firefox3??? on hardy heron??? [07:31] nickrud: tijn they replaced it with xmms2 [07:31] HarrisEldon: I love you :D It worked, thanks man! I owe ya and this IRC [07:32] Lardarse: guess I could clean install... got all my drive partitioned, /home is partition, so I guess I can go for clean reinstall [07:32] ricree: cpu usage is at 40% [07:32] Lardarse heh. I don't use either, just keep track of what changes [07:32] I have installed Ubuntu 8 on a machine that cannot get internet access, period. I need to install packages via cdrom. I used apt-cdrom add, apt-get update and the update always ignores the cdrom "Ign: cdrom://ubuntu" -- I have cleared the apt cache dir, even reinstalled the entire distro... same problem [07:32] Acoustyk: mostly firefox? [07:32] NukeSkyjumper: installed .... how do i configure it ?? [07:32] laiya: open the app and look around, it's self explanatory [07:32] Alright Im out thanks for the help [07:32] Wavesonics try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , then try the restricted driver again [07:32] firefox3 isn't doing too much harm on Hardy but the whole system freezes momentarily everytime i open a GUI program. even the GDM login stutters badly. and startup time is miserable. I actually like firefox3 (finally, nice GTK2 form buttons) [07:33] Halsafar: try sudo apt-cdrom -m -d [07:33] Halsafar: open up /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure it isnt commented out [07:33] nickrud: aaww... I was trying to prove to my friend that linux has come far enough u dont have to use the command line to set things up, oh well [07:33] Hi all. I have my new monitor working perfectly, except when I use the nvidia driver, I seem to be unable to get it to the correct refresh rate... Any suggestions? [07:33] NukeSkyjumper: where is the app ? im new to linux [07:33] ricree: no it looks like xgl and gnome-do are more [07:33] laiya: System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Settings [07:34] Wavesonics bite your tongue, if they took away the command line I'd move to something else [07:34] hehe [07:34] i do love the resolution/dual head tool :) [07:34] i want to merge vob files and edit them, like adding watermark [07:34] I tried that damo22,apt-cdrom just listed its help menu... Yes I checked sources.list, it is not commented out. [07:34] does firefox seriously say "beta 5" when you have it open on 8.04? [07:34] ricree: it spikes when firefox changes a page [07:34] what do i need to do that? [07:34] kakalto: yes [07:34] nickrud: ok i did it, now what [07:34] ok I have compiz to fix now [07:34] hey all, i need sum help getting ubuntu on the 2gb eee pc. how do i do a base install and build it up from there. i have the alternate cd but no option for command line install. where to from here? [07:34] areels: watermarking requires one to have no soul, i believe [07:34] how can i detect the temperature on my t60p in hardy heron? [07:34] kakalto yes, mozilla hasn't released the final yet [07:35] okay, that's all. Just wanted to verify the insanity o_o [07:35] Acoustyk: Does the slowdown depend on how much javascript or flash is being used on the page? [07:35] Wavesonics now try the driver manager tool again [07:35] ezzieyguywuf: try running: acpi -V [07:35] ezzieyguywuf: Touch it! [07:35] nickrud, i did, doesn't work [07:35] ezzieyguywuf: gkrellm [07:35] Wavesonics same error? [07:35] Acoustyk: Also, how much free memory do you have? [07:35] nickrud, eugenebythesea, do canonical plan on including ff3 final when it is released? [07:35] harriseldon: can I find somewhere in logs info about this problems? [07:35] nickrud: yes [07:35] psypher: just install xubuntu [07:35] its a pain in the arse to try command line installing [07:35] dystopianray: i got some text but no temp reading [07:35] Wavesonics hm, put a copy of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [07:35] hi [07:35] hi [07:35] i need help with LVM and Grub. I can't see my windows install. Got switched somehow. [07:35] chronographer: i know it is but how do u do it [07:35] hi [07:36] ricree: free swap memory? (and yes flash makes it worse but this page is all text and it slows it down still) [07:36] ezzieyguywuf: then you must have no temperature sensors accessible via acpi [07:36] kakalto: i don't know.. sorry =) [07:36] http://pastebin.com/m45855108 [07:36] i lub you all [07:36] i need something like ulead video studio [07:36] lub? [07:36] er.. download an xubuntu live cd, or alternate cd [07:36] dystopianray: it worked in gutsy thoughh. shoud I just reinstall lm-sensors? [07:36] :) [07:36] kakalto it'll be in backports for sure, and probably in main [07:36] lol [07:36] how can i delete that stuff what hides flashes with a "play" button ?? [07:36] just installed amarok all y music on another partiton when i go to import music that partition is not there [07:36] how do you do a command line install with ubuntu hardy not xubuntu [07:36] Acoustyk: physical memory. Should be on the left in the System monitor resources tab [07:36] ezzieyguywuf: does 'sensors' no longer show it? [07:36] if you do instlall to command line, type 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' i think [07:37] psy: google it [07:37] ricree: 7.1 gigs [07:37] dystopianray: what do you mean by 'sensors'? [07:37] creative: do you mean Noscript for firefox? [07:37] nick_: did you mount it? [07:37] ezzieyguywuf: 'sensors' the program [07:37] nickrud: http://pastebin.com/d4cc3e9ad [07:37] thanks for the help, not like i just spent 20 mins trying to google it [07:37] is there a canonical channel? I'm awful confused as to why they've included beta5 (even labelled so, advertising beta-quality program) in their long-term ubuntu release, and yet fail to support any kubuntu as long-term. [07:37] i dont know NukeSkyjumper... [07:37] any body have any luck upgrading [07:37] no script is the way to go. [07:37] Acoustyk: Are you sure about that? [07:37] dystopianray: it's shws up on my desktop [07:37] but i cannot see flashes, and i havent got any extensions intstalled [07:37] Hi all. Has anyone had any luck with keepassx in AMD64 version?... [07:37] ricree: thats space on my hard drive [07:38] kakalto: i don't believe canonical has ever supported kubuntu, they only care about ubuntu [07:38] Acoustyk: what about the RAM [07:38] dystopianray: The partition shows up on my desktop [07:38] ricree i got the command i need to resize the terminal but how or what do i config to save it? [07:38] nick_: is it mounted? [07:38] so since i have already tried googling it, is there anyone else willing to tell me how to do a command line install of ubuntu hardy [07:38] dystopianray: [07:38] dystopianray: how do i tell [07:38] psypher246: are you trying to upgrade from an older version? [07:38] get the alternative cd [07:39] riceree: under memory and swap I have 2 gigs of mem with 369.2 megs being used [07:39] got oit [07:39] then what [07:39] dystopianray: right click on it on the desktop and see if the option is there to mount it [07:39] fresh install [07:39] nick_: http://pastebin.com/d4cc3e9ad [07:39] ricree: and 0 bytes of swap [07:39] anyone else having net speed issues in hardy? [07:39] Hi! I'm using U. 8.04, and Intel sound card. There's sound, but I can't control it's volume. [07:39] psypher246: you mean, install ubuntu without the gui installer? [07:39] hey ZENLUN [07:39] syrus, almost there after about 4-5 hrs, restart sys to upgrade [07:39] YES [07:39] no [07:39] tyes [07:39] psypher246: that's not a "command line install" [07:39] no.. it's working better for me than gutsy [07:39] i just want a command line installed [07:39] I use a belkin card and my comp went real slow [07:39] wavesonics: ? [07:39] no not the gui [07:39] ah, you don't want a gui at all [07:39] hi all ... must one use the alternate CD to upgrade via a CD/DVD? [07:40] seamus7, yes [07:40] want MININMAL ubuntu installed and then build from there [07:40] psypher: have you tried putting the disk in and seeing if it is listed as an option? [07:40] devin_: right click on the icon you use to open the terminal and click on properties. One of the boxes will say command. Add the --geometry argument you want to use after gnome-terminal in that box [07:40] yes [07:40] eugenebythesea: me too, but now its acting up my net is 6mb but only getting like 300k on speed test [07:40] it's open right in from of me [07:40] no option [07:40] psypher246: if you just install normally, you can ctrl-alt-F1 to get your console [07:40] riceree: get that? [07:40] eugenebythesea: disabled ipv6 and nothing [07:40] and then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to take away the gui [07:40] Wavesonics that's essentially identical to mine, except I have the synaptics touch pad config. You should file a bug. Try running gksu -D /usr/share/applications/jockey-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/jockey-gtk , and adding the output of that and the copy of your xorg.conf to the report [07:40] no guys i know how to get to a command line [07:41] is possible uptade my ubuntu 7.10 to ubuntu 8.04 by CD??? [07:41] howcome abarok can't excess only the filesystem [07:41] http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [07:41] all i want is to install ubuntu on a pc with 2GB hard drive and then add the packages from there that i need [07:41] nick_: is the partition mounted? [07:41] ricree got it. thanks for the help [07:41] Acoustyk: Then I'm not really sure what's up. You might try seeing if it's a javascript issue, but it sounds like something other than firefox is causing the problem and I'm not sure what [07:41] devin_: You're welcome [07:41] i dont thin u can unless u install server edition [07:41] hm.. i can't think of some reasons.. did u try things like torrents n dwnload managers? [07:41] julio_neto mostly, but you'll still need to get some packages from the net if you downloaded them during your gutsy run [07:42] psypher246: if the alternate disc doesn't have the option, and you know enough to do it, i'd almost say try installing debian but using ubuntu apt sources [07:42] riceree: thanks then i appreciate your help [07:42] julio_neto you'd need to use the alternate cd, as well [07:42] Acoustyk: Sorry that I couldn't do more [07:42]  what type of network card do you have? if firefox is slow, try disabling ipv6 [07:42] psypher246: [07:42] hey i'm on hardy and sound isn't working, although it works on GDM burt the minute i login it stops [07:43] psypher246, xubuntu works on a 2gb if this is for the eee [07:43] Psy: just download the xubuntu CD [07:43] psypher246: alternate installer cd does indeed have commandline install option, its just in a different place than previous releases. use one of the Fx keys to choose 'mode' and youll see the option [07:43] * nickrud remembers when 2gb whas freaking _huge_ ;( [07:43] cool i'll try xubuntu although for what i need it for i would REALLY prefer gnome [07:43] dystopianray: yes === dny_ is now known as dny [07:43] Can someone help me figure out where my windows installation is so I can fix grub? [07:43] nickrud, no problem... So, how can i do it? How can I update 7.10 to 8.04' CD? === cham_ele1n is now known as cham_eleon [07:43] nick_: and yet amarok cannot access it? [07:43] i really really lreally would rather do a mini,mal base install AS PRE GOOGLE but the option is not there [07:44] you can add gnome to xubuntu later psypher246 [07:44] xfce is great! [07:44] Can someone help me my machine crashed and now it seems my gnome is broken, the machine boots up I get startup sound but then the screen goes blank [07:44] psypher246 gnome won't fit on that drive. not at all [07:44] anyone knows how to fix sound ? [07:44] gnome is only a little better! [07:44] nikitis: happy to :) [07:44] psypher246 as handled by ubuntu, that is [07:44] !alternate | julio_neto [07:44] julio_neto: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [07:44] psypher246: check and see if there's a boot option from the alternate disc [07:44] PSY: psypher246: alternate installer cd does indeed have commandline install option, its just in a different place than previous releases. use one of the Fx keys to choose 'mode' and youll see the option [07:44] :) [07:45] AH HA!! [07:45] julio_neto and after you get that alternate cd, just start it, it should offer to upgrade [07:45] wow this bot is very smart! [07:45] !moo [07:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about moo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:45] nickrud, hmmm [07:45] Good morning! [07:45] anyone good with getting the wireless to work on 8.04? [07:45] Ziroday, ok, when i run fdisk -l i get sdc1 as the ntfs disk. sda1 is /, sda2 is swap, sda3 and sdb1 is /home on an lvm. Grub comes up and tries to load up root (hd2,0) but doesn't load up windows [07:45] !tell ubotu apt-get moo [07:45] thank you, thats all i wanted [07:45] Can someone help me and my gnome please :) [07:46] where is the documentation for that? [07:46] <`mIRC`> hi... [07:46] apt-get moo is the reason i switched to linux! [07:46] <`mIRC`> i heard that ubuntu 8.04 is now released ... [07:46] anyone new here tried apt-get moo? [07:46] moo? [07:46] nickrud, soo, I'll need run it by ubuntu interface, or get bot with it? [07:46] yes [07:46] Night all .. Tc [07:46] `mIRC`: that's right [07:46] what's new in 8.04 [07:46] i just installed 8.04 today [07:46] is it a pain in the ass to do a fresh install of ubuntu directly over top a partitioned ubuntu? [07:46] <`mIRC`> i just wanna know that, are they fix GRUB?? [07:46] try it [07:46] what's that do? [07:46] Yes, 8.04 is out since yesteerday... [07:46] 'apt-get moo' [07:46] -e [07:46] `mIRC`: what was wrong with grub? [07:46] =) [07:46] ok, so i enabled the restricted ATI drivers [07:46] dystopianray: yes it can't [07:46] <`mIRC`> i found grub error in ubuntu 7.10 many times [07:47] and now the resolution app cant seem to detect my displays [07:47] oh and the other one is 'aptitude moo' [07:47] if i install 8.04 will it change my drivers [07:47] awesome I didn't know the moo trick! [07:47] nick_: how are you determining this? [07:47] The man page doesn't even mention that apt-get is missing its super cow powers. [07:47] `mIRC`: like what, I never had any problems [07:47] Ziroday, Any suggestions? [07:47] Congrats to all the devs! You created an awesome release, I love it! [07:47] julio_neto, nickrud, if you insert the alternate CD in a running ubuntu, it should bring up a dialog box that offers three choices - 1=do nothing, 2=run package manager, 3=run upgrade [07:47] then you go 'aptitude moo' [07:47] Anyone thinking of a fresh install of Hardy rather than the network upgrade? [07:47] Deathserver, yes [07:47] any one know of a script to create torrents? [07:47] u go 'aptitude -v moo' [07:47] 8.04 is the best so far [07:47] <`mIRC`> `mIRC`: like what, I never had any problems -- sorry, i have 2 OS's [07:47] nikitis: oh sorry, erm can you pastebin fdisk -l please [07:47] ahhhhhhh [07:47] One Problem with Hardy i have: there is no sound. [07:47] u go 'aptitude -v -v moo' [07:47] Does anyone know a solution? [07:47] how can i get java installed painlessly i have been triny all day [07:47] u go 'aptitude -v -v -v moo' [07:47] THANK YOU very much... folks [07:48] seamus7, i did the network upgrade and it has now run fine on two of my computers [07:48] <`mIRC`> and also...problem was it can't load NTFS file system [07:48] u go 'aptitude -v -v -v -v moo' [07:48] Can someone help me my machine crashed and now it seems my gnome is broken, the machine boots up I get startup sound but then the screen goes blank [07:48] how do i install 8600gt nvidia drivers? [07:48] Deathserver: do you need a particular version? [07:48] !nvidia [07:48] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:48] is it hard to do a fresh install of ubuntu over top of my partitioned Ubuntu disk? [07:48] etc. [07:48] Ziroday, http://rafb.net/p/T1pxzY18.html [07:48] Hans: alot of people have been complaining about that, do you have sound during the GDM screen? [07:48] the latest if possible [07:48] its funny! [07:48] Hans have you played with the volume control options/preferences and switched it around from ALSA / Pulse / etc. ? [07:48] seamus7, i used apt-proxy to save some bandwidth [07:48] `mIRC`: I've been dual booting windows since I first installed ubuntu without problems. I wonder what happened on your system [07:48] Deathserver: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre [07:48] does it matter which version [07:48] No, no xound during the gdm screen. [07:48] Acoustyk: you'll probably want to wipe out the old one, which is easy [07:48] Deathserver: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [07:48] * Scrounch is now away: off [07:48] I tested Alsa, Pulse etc. but there is no sound. [07:48] a dead cow???? [07:49] AnRkey: I did a network upgrade and noticed some minor annoyances ... thinking of doing a fresh install [07:49] where exactly can I check pulseaudio? [07:49] i have no sound too this is crazy [07:49] Drakoza can you go "ctrl alt F1" [07:49] since i have hardy heron i get an error when trying to mount a ntfs drive...can anyone help me? [07:49] there must be a fix i can't live without music ! [07:49] But i can wait. I think that it is good that many people haves the problem. [07:49] ? [07:49] linxuz3r: click System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers. [07:49] i want to use hardy cdrom as apt-source... i did apt-cdrom but apt-get update gives me : Ign cdrom://Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ .... [07:49] I enabled my restricted ATI drivers and now the resolution app can't detect my monitors, why? [07:49] That ensures that there will come a fix... [07:49] seamus7, i am yet to download the iso's, the servers are very very busy [07:49] <`mIRC`> i use 2 OS's ... windows and ubuntu ... and probelm i found was....it can't load NTFS filesystem ... and that cause error in boot [07:49] nikitis: I think it should be hd3,0 [07:49] chronographer when I do that I get something that looks like an old ATARI display, I can boot into safe mode though and access a terminal [07:49] Han have you made sure all the devices are checked so that you can make certain they're not muted? [07:49] this one sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre or this one sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre [07:49] I cant find the linux32 emulator in Heron! [07:49] hey does anyone know whether additional older video cards have been blacklisted in hardy when it comes to enabling compiz? [07:50] Ziroday, hd3? i only have 3 drives, so 0, 1, and 2 would be 3 right? [07:50] Deathserver: openjdk-6-jre [07:50] well try changing your xorg.conf [07:50] riqqa anyone? [07:50] yeah all are unmuted, in fact sound works in GDM, but stops when i enter my account [07:50] AnRkey: download an iso via bittorrent would circumvent any busy servers [07:50] generally how much times does it take for the big first updates ??? [07:50] try backing it up, then deleting it [07:50] what does that one do dysto [07:50] seamus7, i have a 3gb limit on my adsl [07:50] is there any way to install an i386 deb on my x86-64 system? [07:50] Deathserver: it's java 6 [07:50] chronographer ive run reconfigure and checked xorg.conf manually it looks fine [07:50] seamus7, in south africa :( [07:50] <`mIRC`> ... [07:50] boeing: dpkg --force-architecure file.deb [07:50] whats the different commands do [07:51] AnRkey ohhhhhhh that would be bummer [07:51] How do I upgrade my installatino using the desktop cd? [07:51] try booting without one, it works for me like that [07:51] i want to use hardy cdrom as apt-source... i did apt-cdrom but apt-get update gives me : Ign cdrom://Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ .... [07:51] NukeSkyjumper, it dint work [07:51] Mr: Took me most of today, although a torrent would likely be faster since the servers are swamped today [07:51] seamus7, i love my country, hate the telco company [07:51] NukeSkyJumper: how do I wipe my old Ubuntu? [07:51] ive had three diff ones suggested [07:51] boeing: what did it do? [07:51] nikitis: ah sorry being daft yes, hd2,0 [07:51] AnRkey I see :) [07:51] I don't want it to delete my home directories and a few other directories [07:51] Acoustyk: there's probably an option to format partitions [07:51] <`mIRC`> i use 2 OS's ... windows and ubuntu ... and probelm i found was....it can't load NTFS filesystem ... and that cause error in boot [07:51] anyone heard of a sound fix ?! [07:51] Deathserver: the two commands you posted appear to be identical [07:51] Ziroday, ok, well that's just it, it's set to hd2,0 but it won't load windows [07:51] im absolute noob thx for youre help [07:51] <`mIRC`> and another problem i found was...grub error stage 1.5 [07:51] NukeSkyjumper, it showed upgradation necessity of all my other installed packages [07:52] seamus7, we get more local bandwidth when our accounts are capped, so i am going to download it when i get capped from a local repos [07:52] but you suggest youres [07:52] `mIRC`: Can't really help you there, I've never had that sort of problem when I dual booted [07:52] since i have hardy heron i get an error when trying to mount a ntfs drive...can anyone help me? "...version `FUSE_2.7' not found..." [07:52] to i386 [07:52] ricree: oh, but I meant when will ubuntu send us the first updates for Heron, to fix some of the initial bugs? [07:52] <`mIRC`> thanks mate ... :) [07:52] mirc, you need to know what error number it is, 1.5 is the grub version I think. [07:52] Ziroday, http://rafb.net/p/kKAg1C39.html Here is my menu.lst entry [07:52] AnRkey the alternate iso via bittorrent is only about 700MB [07:52] !grub | nikitis [07:52] nikitis: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:52] <`mIRC`> i just hope that they fix all that problems [07:52] Deathserver: openjdk should cause less problems overall with ubuntu, it is the new open source java [07:52] Mr: ah, missunderstood you. I don't have any idea [07:52] nikitis: have a look at the links from ubotu [07:53] i created a sybolic link to a file in firefox plugins tring to install java manuly was that file already there [07:53] <`mIRC`> i already fomat ubuntu 7.10 ...and waiting to install 8.04 ... :) [07:53] <`mIRC`> just hope that they fix all that problems [07:53] yay, 8.04 [07:53] so I'm having issues enabling compiz on my friend's older laptop, which worked fine with 7.10, but know is just not working... any advice of what I need to look at to hopefully figure out the issue? [07:53] What a terrible experience that was. [07:53] i wonder if anyone has good luck with hardy with the rtl8187b wifi card.. i had issues with in the last few version of ubuntu [07:54] Does 32-bit Ubuntu will with AMD64? [07:54] *now [07:54] <`mIRC`> in the end i knew problem of can't load NTFS .... the cause was windows was corrupt :( [07:54] if you deleted a partition with 7.1 on it, grub wont find menu.lst file and wont work. [07:54] artti: yes [07:54] nickrud: i find it ironic that while xmms has been removed, the plugins haven't [07:54] * jburd doesn't get an "upgrade dialog" when he inserts his ubuntu alternate disc [07:54] lardares audacity is xmms [07:54] openjdk-6-jre that command is not found [07:54] <`mIRC`> ... i use fdisk /mbr [07:54] Lardarse, audacity is a better xmms [07:55] ... [07:55] but i like xmms [07:55] I don't know. Should i install 64-bit Ubuntu or 32-but Ubuntu. [07:55] ***jburd are you booting from the disc? [07:55] chronographer luckily I had a backup xorg.conf which I renamed and I can log in now [07:55] great! [07:55] jburd, u are here? [07:55] artti: 32-bit [07:55] dont tell me its 'better' [07:55] <`mIRC`> :) [07:55] hi - after installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, i tried playing some avi files in totem - and it says: "failed to connect stream: invalid argument" - could someone advise? i'm on 8.04 [07:55] bloody xorg, I cant get mine to work with nvidia drivers activated [07:55] artti: expect a slight performance boost in 64bit, but with more trouble getting nonfree stuff like adobe products to work [07:55] how do i write in read dyno [07:55] it gives the wrong refresh rate... [07:55] seamus7: No. I'm just using the disc to upgrade my existing installation from within it [07:55] I'm currently downloading a bunch of apps, thus can't access the package manager to check, so... It's possible to downgrade Firefox to v2, right? [07:55] boeing: Yeah hi. [07:55] So I upgraded to hardy and now my nvidia drivers don't work anymore... [07:56] seamus7, thats about a week's worth of my bandwidth :D [07:56] <`mIRC`> ... what do u think if i report those errors i found to develpoper team? [07:56] hey guys, I've just fresh installed 8.04 on my laptop. I'm trying to configure twinview on my nvidia card and I can't find any information on it. Is there a tool to use which will configure the desktop for me? Or do I have to edit Xorg.conf manually? [07:56] AnRkey: I understand [07:56] what errors? [07:56] seamus7: Can one also upgrade by booting from the disc? [07:56] jburd, what i meant in yesterday's conversation is that take for instance our friend, fspot crashes [07:56] jburd my understanding is that you would need to boot into the alternate CD before getting the upgrade message ... I think [07:56] ok i am slightly less than happy with the way my hardy upgrade went. did I do harm to keep my old "/boot/grub/menu.1st" [07:56] <`mIRC`> -- example....ubuntu can't load NTFS filesystem ... or else i found [07:56] NukeSkyjumper, currenlty i have 32-bit Ubuntu on 64-bit and flash doesn't work. [07:56] I get the upgrade message on another machine just not this one [07:56] antibios: you can try the screen resolution utility or install the nvidia configuration app - sudo apt-get install nvidia-config [07:56] ok. I got my ATI drivers working, but now my dual monitors wont work :( please help === pradalover is now known as pradalvr [07:56] so i upgraded to hardy and turning on 3d windows crashes compiz now. [07:57] seamus7, our secondary operator is going to have it's international link by middle next year so there might be some hope for me yet :D [07:57] artti: if you're running 32bit ubuntu, it's not your cpu's fault [07:57] !flash | artti [07:57] artti: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [07:57] Ziroday: E: Couldn't find package nvidia-config === nico_ is now known as nico|gone [07:57] please this is urgent has anybody got any clue about fixing broken sound on hardy ?!?!?! [07:57] yeah jburd alt disc will prompt for upgrade [07:57] dyno openjdk-6-jre didnt work the command dose not exist [07:57] i think ill wait to upgrade :) [07:57] antibios: gimme a sec [07:57] jburd, in that case the "safe/silent" distros are capable of terminating X and we dont need to reboot [07:57] lunchbox330: when I boot from it? [07:57] Guys can I install the 32 bit version over the 64 bit I installed, I am having problems with popular programs all the time [07:57] jburd, the keyboard continues to work [07:57] since i have hardy heron i get an error when trying to mount a ntfs drive...can anyone help me? "...version `FUSE_2.7' not found..."

[07:58] AnRkey I'm on a slow DSL connection .. hoping to upgrade to a faster connection sometime soon ... currently max out at 400 KB/s [07:58] hello, so after i upgraded to 8.04 I no longer have wifi... that kind of sucks [07:58] Koheleth: you'll have to do a reinstall [07:58] antibios: nvidia settings plugin [07:58] CommanderCool: Synaptic. Find fuse. Install. [07:58] Woot! Hardy Rocks! Good Job [07:58] NukeSkyjumper: i know but sadly i hardy know many of them [07:58] anyone familiar with this error from totem: "failed to connect stream: invalid argument"? [07:58] ok, will it do all the formating itself etc [07:58] lunchbox330: yeah but that doesn't happen on the computer I'm using. if I'm already running ubuntu and I insert it on another machine, it does show me an upgrade dialog [07:58] pawbie: it is, it even worked before [07:58] <`mIRC`> i found some idiot said....he can hacked 127.0.0.1 [07:58] ferris_, what wifi card is it? [07:58] NukeSkyjumper: what do you think i should do to fix it ? [07:58] seamus7, 384k/128k here for me :( [07:58] I'm currently downloading a bunch of apps, thus can't access the package manager to check, so... It's possible to downgrade Firefox to v2, right? [07:58] Yodude: search ubuntuforums.org [07:58] ok [07:58] broadcom [07:58] After upgrading to hardy my nvidia drivers don't work anymore. Anyone knows how to fix this? [07:58] `mIRC`: offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic please [07:59] CommanderCool: Reinstall? [07:59] lol mirc [07:59] jburd, whereas the mentioned distros to be ungraceful in termination (i am not technical in "ungraceful") hang with everything including the keyboard hung.

[07:59] Aight, 'night ubuntu peoples [07:59] <`mIRC`> Ziroday> --- i already in that chan. [07:59] guys, i'm having problem with my openoffice database... i always get an error saying: openoffice requires JRE to perform this task... but my JRE is working ... tested it using test java on the web. any idea? [07:59] seamus7, thats my download here [07:59] seamus7, 10k up if i am lucky [07:59] hi, when i try to install ubuntu 7.10 after when i choose run or install ubuntu for a sec my display is turn off, i am weaiting becouse cd rom is stil copy files but display never is turn on. I have mothebord with integrathed graphics but i have in pciexpress grf 8800gt. By integrated graphisc its works - i nstall ubuntu on itegrated graph and after i plug my gf, but its still turn opff my display when i try to run ubuntu. Any idea howto rep [08:00] pawbie.... not much choice... it is in a laptop [08:00] AnRkey ouch! [08:00] anyone got 3d windows working on an intel chipset yet? [08:00] gharz: install this package: openoffice.org-java-common [08:00] can anyone here help me get dual monitors working w\ my ATI card? [08:00] hey, are the servers just swamped right now b/c of Hardy's release? I'm getting really slow speeds on package downloads rightnow [08:00] Ziroday: thanks dude... the screen resolution only detects the built in screen. The nvidia-settings worked a treat. Thank you very much! [08:00] Ziroday, that grub info doesn't help me [08:00] antibios: no problem, had the same issues myself [08:00] seamus7, i can go bigger then it's twice the price [08:00] reeeh2000: they are being used heavily so expect them to be slow [08:00] boeing: do you have a broadcom card by any chance? [08:01] Ziroday, in my case, grub is booting, but does not point correctly to the windows partition or maybe it does, but needs some other command to boot it. [08:01] did i screw up keeping my old 'menu.1st' when i upgrades to hardy [08:01] those are the most stupid pieces of sh*t I've had to deal with [08:01] none of the commands to get java have worked [08:01] nikitis: eh?, I thought those links had a method to reconfigure grub and therefore rescan for other OS's [08:01] Hi. I've just uninstalled all that's linked with gnome in a attempt to reinstall it(due to frequent crashes). How can I install it back? [08:01] seamus7, this line costs me about $50 USD [08:01] Dystopianray: Yeah, thats what I figured, I guess in a way its good. Lots of people using ubuntu [08:01] reeeh2000: you can always use a different mirror [08:01] true [08:02] AnRkey: you pay that much for so little! [08:02] is there a way i can back up my wifi drivers and easil install them on the new release [08:02] seamus7, yes, sadly so [08:02] hi, is there any way to ask the system to reload my .bashrc without logging off from the system or wihtout closing the console i am working right at this moment? [08:02] Okay, i wait for the fix for sound and my laptop will play all nessesary sounds (for presentation etc.) [08:02] spider_: . [08:02] hans: i have the sound nightmare too [08:03] bleh upgrades have never worked for me [08:03] Welcome to the club! ;-) [08:03] and they never will I suppose [08:03] I have the realtek rtl8187b wifi card and i just wonder if hardy works better with that card before i upgrade it because the last few versions had big issues so i hope it works better [08:03] and I can't keep doing clean installs all the time on multiple machines [08:03] seamus7, if i want more data once i am capped i have to pay another $30 USD for another 3gb [08:03] arj: i tried it like this ". .bashrc" but it doesnt seems like it reloaded my .bashrc [08:03] whats new in the new rlease and should i change [08:03] Downloading .iso file is slow. [08:03] successful upgrade on 1 box, lost nvidia display settings until I installed nvidia X server settings and other than loss of google toolbar-not compatible with Firefox3,beta5 everything is good [08:04] yeah, if i can get my wifi hardy will be worth keeping [08:04] Deathserver, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/ [08:04] upgrading from the cd NEVER works. [08:04] I have the live cd running, I know i have two hdd's in the system, one formatted, one not, how do I format the blank one? [08:04] hey i got sound working !!!! but with alsa not pulseaudo, the problem must have been pulseaudio [08:04] Is there anyone in here that lost their 3d-windows/wallpaper plugin compatibility on compiz with their upgrade? Does anyone have a workaround? [08:04] dystopianray: i checked my synaptic and openoffice.org-java-common is already installed. [08:04] none of my firefox extensions were compatible [08:04] maybe pulseaudio doesn't support all kinds of soundcards ? [08:04] thanks, still need help with getting java installed [08:05] i wish the upgrade gave the option of upgrading firefox [08:05] i woulda said no [08:05] gharz: in openoffie's configuration have you set a jre for it to use? [08:06] biabia: try the MR Tech Local Install plugin, you can disable compatibility checks, and then you can use your non-compatible plugins (no guarantees on how they will work though) [08:06] Can't get Both Screen to work !! [08:06] jburd: dont BOTT the alternate to use as upgrade, just insert it into a ruinning system, then u get dialog box asking if u want packages upgraded (it auto-recognises u see) [08:06] boot'' [08:06] gord: even that fails. [08:06] neeto ok thanks ill check that out. [08:07] Moc, What version of Ubuntu are you using? [08:07] jburd: hmm [08:07] cannot resolve "xxxxxx" packages at this time. please try later. [08:07] i have removed tracker and tracker-applet [08:07] I have no sound with my media players when firefox is playing a flash movie. why? [08:07] that is not a message an end user would like to see. [08:07] but my drive keeps trashing [08:07] how can i turn indexing off? [08:07] dystopianray: yes... under Tools->Options->OpenOffice.Org->Java ... have 3 java avail... 2 from Sun and 1 from Free Software Foundation... i ticked the radio button Sun Micro Inc. 1.6.0 [08:07] 8.04 [08:07] that happens when you choose not to use the network [08:07] jburd, i have a via card. [08:07] gharz: what does it say when you run: java -version ? [08:07] worked fine in 6.10 with nvidia firmware [08:07] dystopianray: i've rebooted my machine... logged out .. .restarted OO... [08:07] hi channel! [08:08] hi thar! === Jwyanz1 is now known as Jwyanze [08:08] I get an error now: Error "vm.mmap_ap_min_addr is an unknown key" fail when my system does the checks on boot [08:08] where can I find Ubuntu 8.04 i386 MD5SUM? [08:08] Hey, which is the best plugin for flash on firefox? [08:08] reeeh2000: flashplugin-nonfree [08:08] flash on linux is crap :( [08:08] err [08:08] my sound keeps going out :/ [08:09] reeeh2000, dint you get the popup when flash loaded first time to install flash? [08:09] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS [08:09] and why the heck does an upgrade restart have to fetch all the necessary files *again* from the internet? [08:09] the package which installs works perfect. [08:09] GIn, Hardy uses PulseAudio by default but Adobe's flash plugin doesn't play well with pulseaudio, if you want to solve the problem of not being able to use flash and other things at once install libflashsupport but that may lead lash to be less stable [08:09] boing: i did, it list several choices [08:09] dystopianray: java version "1.6.0_06 Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_6-b02) [08:09] if i check the java version with java -version it says its the latest build but if i go to browser and enter about:plugins it isnt listed [08:09] jburd, i recommended u not to use that *upgrade* option. [08:09] boeing: iv had problems on 7.10 with opening to full screen [08:10] is there a command to restart alsa? [08:10] boeing: I have so many machines here. I'm not crazy to do claen installs on all of them. [08:10] Jordan_U: is libflashsupport the free flash alternative? [08:10] gord: I can't open that web page - time out :( [08:10] reeeh2000, use the adobe-flash plugin [08:10] upgrades networkless or networked should be PAINLESS not PAINFUL. [08:10] GIn, No, it's a pulseaudio plugin specifically for nonfree flash [08:10] boeing: ok, i just hate using adobes stuff is all, thabks [08:10] boeing, get the cd and insert. then upgrade feasibility will be listed immediately [08:10] firefox keeps dying on me even though it thinks that all my plugins are compatible [08:10] what gives [08:10] anyone here run compiz fusion? [08:11] Moc, How did you install the nvidia drivers? [08:11] jburd, , get the cd and insert. then upgrade feasibility will be listed immediately [08:11] !anyone | jeanre [08:11] jeanre: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:11] jeanre: yeah, I've been having problems since my 8.04 upgrade... [08:11] Jordan_U: but Pulseaudio is not in a stable state itself :( [08:11] boeing: I'm talking about that very same thing. it rarely works. [08:11] any ideas why my ide hdd isn't recognized by the hardy kernel? my sata devices are working. [08:11] ubuntu 8.04 i386 MD5SUM, where can I get it? http://releases.ubuntu.com times out for me :( [08:11] <`mIRC`> what is the different btw KDE and GNOME? [08:11] how can i test my java [08:11] wonder why ubuntu included such an important piece of software in beta state in the OS [08:11] ubuntu should start paying attention to the installation process more than adding tons of new features. make that robust first. [08:11] GIn, Pulseaudio is stable, it's just that the pulseaudio plugin for flash can cause flash to crash [08:11] jburd, remove all internet links in /etc/apt(?) [08:11] whats a good burning program [08:11] how do I get a list of the different SDA devices attached? [08:12] terminal says it is there but i doubt it [08:12] nick_, k3b [08:12] nick_: k3b or gnomebaker are normally pretty good [08:12] `mIRC`: In my humble opninion KDE is an ugly piece of crap that looks like a bargain bin windows knock off, and gnome is an original and beautiful piece of interface glory... but that's just me [08:12] Jordan_U: the one what is provided by ubuntu, I installed it once manually with partial result (Main screen blinked) but after a reboot, xorg bumped it to vesa [08:12] neeto: I have n o themes in the emerald manager [08:12] nick_, the default gnome creator has *burnt* my cd [08:12] boeing: that's not my idea of painless [08:12] jeanre: did you used to? [08:12] is there a command to restart alsa? [08:12] um, does anyone have any issues playing video in totem? i can play flash, music etc, but no video. get this error: "failed to connect stream: invalid argument" [08:13] formata sata ubuntu [08:13] installing nvidia-setting rightnow from repo, will see if it work [08:13] come on guys, someone must have MD5SUM of ubuntu 8.04 i386 [08:13] Moc, Installing it manually may have broken the packaged drivers [08:13] :( wrong keyboard [08:13] <`mIRC`> neeto: so means you prefer pure ubuntu rather than kubuntu? [08:13] hi [08:13] Jordan_U: It why I reinstalled it complely, fresh install [08:13] anyone here to help [08:13] neeto: no this a is a new install [08:13] really need help [08:13] !ask | please [08:13] please: 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. :-) [08:13] 7d0ac92c56361949d099dd9337c975e7 *ubuntu-8.04-alternate-amd64.iso,166991d61e7c79a452b604f0d25d07f9 *ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso,fc43f665ba51c4be0d95c011aefef45d *ubuntu-8.04-desktop-amd64.iso,8895167a794c5d8dedcc312fc62f1f1f *ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso,8a73cf85b04f37d5d91fb436525ea395 *ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso,c3162b21757746c64a0a22cdd060b164 *ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso [08:14] ok [08:14] tparcina, http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/MD5SUMS [08:14] im new new new to ubuntu [08:14] so>? [08:14] gord: thank you! :) [08:14] installed it last night was amazed by it [08:14] how do i get the open source ATI drivers? [08:14] and then eventually the machine hanged [08:14] have fun! [08:14] sorry [08:14] Jordan_U: can't open that page - time out :( [08:14] i pushed the power button [08:14] lol [08:14] and restart [08:14] Jordan_U: I guess it's to bussy today :) [08:14] Error 16 : inconsistent .... [08:14] file structure [08:15] something like this [08:15] I think I'll better get the dvd instead [08:15] Jordan_U: was getting endless timouts on the web page so i posted, baybe someone could pling-bot it? [08:15] Wavesonics, They come installed by default, to use them change the driver from "fglrx" to "ati" [08:15] dystopianray: any idea what's causing this error? [08:15] maybe' [08:15] jburd, are dvd s out as yet? [08:15] gharz: no, sorry [08:15] So, as with every time I install Ubuntu, windows maximize to both my monitors instead of one. Is there a workaround? I recall with 7.04 I got lucky after a reboot and it started working properly. [08:15] dystopianray: thanks! [08:15] boeing: yeah sure I have the torrents [08:15] i install java 6 through the missing plugin popup the go to java install and it says OOPS yo dont have the version installed is it a big deal? [08:15] rebooting and will see if it work fine this time [08:15] any idea ? [08:15] Jordan_U: do they enable 3d acceleration? [08:15] jburd, can u send the x86_64 as file? [08:16] please, which version? [08:16] Error 16 inconsistent ...... tried everything [08:16] boeing: sure [08:16] 8.04 [08:16] Hardy upgrade resulted in an error now on boot: Error "vm.mmap_ap_min_addr is an unknown key" fail --any idea how to fix? [08:16] hey i have a sound FIX EVERYONE ! [08:16] Yodude: what's that? [08:16] please, reinstall for now. it would be painless [08:16] and i just used live cd to come to ubuntu and chat and get help [08:16] Wavesonics, Unless you have an old card you are more likely to get 3D acceleration from the proprietary drivers ( unfortunately ) [08:16] how about my setting [08:16] my files [08:16] ? [08:16] evryone go into the multimedia systems selector and select alsa and the proper cards, and go into the sound setting (Ssystem-pref-sound) and select the card itself for sound [08:16] please, you probably want to reinstall [08:17] but honestly people PulseAudio is CRAP [08:17] Jordan_U: but the damn proprietary ones don't work with the nice GUI resoltuon tool lol [08:17] jburd, thank u [08:17] so no one has experienced this error before ? [08:17] please, it will be much less stressful than trying to fix your existing problems [08:17] boeing: sure [08:17] is it [08:18] so i have to reinstall ubuntu every 2-3 days right ? [08:18] powering off is not a good idea [08:18] cause i just installed it yesterday [08:18] please, no. [08:18] and one more thing which may help [08:18] the partition is FAT [08:19] please, just ensure that u install motherboard drivers before installing the final system. so as a newbie you will face less pain [08:19] the recovery is not working as well [08:19] please, ah! [08:19] please, fat is a doomed fs. [08:19] ok how do i know iam on final hardy [08:19] i guess my java is fine java game is playing [08:19] ok so tell me please what to do [08:19] grub says development [08:19] step by step [08:19] so FAT is not good [08:19] Is there a firewall in Kubuntu? [08:19] please, u could have selected the default ext3 during installation [08:19] please, go with ext3 [08:20] ok [08:20] I have one question [08:20] !ufw | Kirby [08:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:20] doh [08:20] cause i just installed it from windows [08:20] can I pop in the desktop cd and then boot with it to upgrade with it? [08:20] without deleting my home directory [08:20] what did you mean by motherboard driver [08:20] there is no driver [08:20] i just downloaded ubuntu and it says the drivers are included [08:20] jburd: If you have home on a separate partition, yes. Otherwise no, the Desktop CD can only be used to install, not upgrade. [08:20] so please has shown how wulluby(am i right with the name?) can go wrong in certain circumstances [08:21] there is no such thing as motherboard drivers in ubuntu === _nano_ is now known as _nano [08:21] fat is a bad thing. [08:21] ? [08:21] Kirby: see ufw.... included by default... very simple to enable basic firewall. [08:21] boing: wubi [08:21] Heya Flannel ... how ya doin man [08:21] boeing, wubi, and it would be a shorter list if we listed ways it couldn't go wrong === _nano is now known as _nano_ [08:21] raj1, i mean motherboard-based drivers. eg. proprietry gphx drivers(if any), etc. [08:21] Kr0ntab: can I use 'learning mode' in it so that it doesn't allow any connections [08:21] oh ok [08:22] mmm like nvidia nforce [08:22] that is purely opinion though, [08:22] I still need help with mapping my windows bootloader in grub. I keep getting an error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format error [08:22] when i upgraded I didnt upgrade my menu.1st i kept the old one. is there a way I can upgrade just that file now? or could someone pastebin it from the new hardy, unmodified [08:22] will someone DCC the i386 alt torrent to me? === dny_ is now known as dny [08:22] Daisuke_Ido, that should be listed to M$ as fat is their baby and it does nt have journaling, which would actually have saved please [08:22] biabia: `sudo update-grub` ought to do it [08:22] ufw by default blocks all inbound ... and you have the ability to add rules as you see fit... [08:22] for the last time i say this and if no one can help im going to reinstall ubuntu [08:23] kindofabuzz: there [08:23] flannel thankie!

[08:24] anyway, hardy is out. cheers :) [08:24] please, Is windows failing to boot or just wubi? [08:24] how can I enable ethernet in runlevel 1 on hardy so that I have internet access? [08:24] tomasko: You're referring to #ubuntu+1, everyone got kicked out of there, because Intrepid isn't open yet. [08:24] jburd; i had to give it a name to save for some reason, what's the actual name of that? [08:24] i just pressed the power button because ubuntu hanged [08:24] oh yeah, #ubuntu+1 [08:24] does anyone know why my CD/DVD writer would only write and recognize DVDs in gutsy [08:24] ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [08:24] any help on updateing menu's [08:24] the main problem is that wubi is interfering with an another os's partition without changing its structure. [08:25] and restareted and couldnt get to to ubuntu [08:25] please: if you installed using Wubi, run chkdsk in Windows (start -> run -> cmd -> chkdsk /f /r) if that doesn't work, please please file a bug at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug [08:25] jburd: thanks buddie [08:25] waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [08:25] this is recognised as an inconsistency in windows.

[08:27] oh he has wubi related issue [08:27] hmm [08:27] I need help mapping a windows partition to grub. for some reason it should boot the windows partion but grub won't do it. I need help with syntax for the grub options. [08:27] hey how do i enable direct rendering in hardy heron [08:27] please: yes, open up the command prompt and type exactly that [08:27] ok cheers mate [08:28] please: then hit Y when it asks you [08:28] How do I get pidgin and thunderbird to open hyperlinks in firefox [08:28] please: and then reboot into windows once [08:28] ok [08:28] please: then reboot into ubuntu [08:28] please: there is a specifoc channel for your problems, its #wubi-ubuntu, also i beg you not to use the nickname "please", as it causes lots of confusion [08:28] nikitis: Not mapping, just booting? What are you having problems with? (generally its a good idea to just state your problem to begin with) [08:28] :( :( :( [08:28] lopl [08:28] ok [08:28] evand, he is unable to boot into his system. how will he do this cmd work? [08:28] they more i try to fix my video, the more screwed up it gets [08:28] hey, what is up Wavesonics [08:28] when I already have 8.04 RC installed, is there any point in reinstalling with the 8.04 release or can I just use the normal package updates? [08:28] /nick please help me ;) [08:28] hi, where can i find luxi sans font? thanks [08:28] are the servers still being DDoSed ((legitimately of course) [08:28] lekro: read the topic [08:28] Flannel: I have an unusual harddrive setup. i can boot linux fine, but when i go to boot wiindows XP it gives me an error 13 [08:28] lekro: just regular updates. [08:29] boeing: he cannot get into Windows? I missed that part. [08:29] yes [08:29] boeing, He is only unable to boot Ubuntu [08:29] dubby: yes, use the torrents [08:29] Flannel: from grub that is [08:29] iusegnulinux, lucida fonts? --------->google [08:29] Ziroday: oh, sorry [08:29] I upgraded to Hardy and now suddenly my nvidia drivers don't work anymore. Anyone knows how to fix this? [08:29] thanks [08:29] hey how do i enable direct rendering in hardy heron [08:29] luxi fonts [08:29] nikitis: Try going in ad changing it from root [whatever] to rootnoverify [whatever] for your windows option [08:29] Emof, reinstall from the repos [08:29] I had dual monitors working with the default ATI drivers, then I couldnt do 3D desktop, so i installed the proprietary drivers, then I couldnt do dual monitor, so i went back to the default drivers, and now nothing works. [08:29] Emof, How did you install them? [08:29] !find luxi fonts [08:29] nikitis:try recovery mode? [08:29] No packages matching 'luxi' could be found [08:30] I've tried uninstalling and installing again with envy, but that didn't work [08:30] !envy | Emof [08:30] Emof: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [08:30] Flannel: I still get an error 13 [08:30] Wavesonics, I believe you have to actually remove fglrx ( the proprietary drivers ) because they are evil and mess up the open source ones [08:30] boot to ubuntu and repair grub [08:30] yeah, but I've tried with the normal drivers too [08:30] didn't work either [08:30] hello [08:30] raj1: no not sure how [08:31] i have hp deskjet 3900 printer. how can i see ink levels and have some advanced configs and printing quality levels . like in windows? [08:31] nikitis: alright, pastebin your menu.lst, and the output of fdisk -l (that's an L), and I'll take a look. [08:31] please, remove ubuntu from windows first. [08:31] I have 3 harddrives, with windows being on hd2,0 [08:31] i do a upgrade with the ubuntu alternate cd...still it wants to download 400 packages :( [08:31] from grub menu [08:31] may be your windows partition is not the active partition anymore [08:31] ok can someone tell me about pastebin [08:32] !paste | raj1 [08:32] raj1: 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) [08:32] Flannel: ok, give me a moment to boot it up [08:32] marvxxx, all the new versions of the extra software you installed! [08:32] where does one get emerald themes? [08:32] mosno: makes sense [08:32] Jordan_U, I searched for fglrx in synaptic, and i dont see which i should remove [08:33] i have hp deskjet 3900 printer. how can i see ink levels and have some advanced configs and printing quality levels . like in windows? [08:33] im just behind a slow connection [08:33] hi, does anyone know a good theme for firefox beta 3? [08:33] thats the only problem [08:33] Hi, did something change in 8.04 to make it so that my samba share settings arent saved in /etc/samba/smb.conf anymore? The shares are working fine, but I dont see the share settings in the smb.conf file anymore. [08:33] tango [08:33] any one know how to solve the problems with the nvidia propietary drivers? [08:33] Wanderer, xorg-driver-fglrx I believe [08:33] like this __http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64324/ [08:33] huh [08:33] what problem? [08:33] hugol1: what are these problems exactly [08:34] I like GNOME on ubuntu, but how do I get rid of the annoying way it alternates between apps (alt-tab) ... [08:34] hey [08:34] i use nvidia proprietary driver [08:34] it keeps showing icons of the running apps and a bit of animation [08:34] how do you use the 32bit libraries for compiling? [08:34] which, if anything, is just plain annoying [08:34] man ubuntu's grub install is fubar [08:34] can't figure out how to get rid of it [08:34] I have downloaded a .tar.gz file but do not know how to install it. how can i do so? [08:34] I haven't gotten it to work out of the box once [08:34] i have hp deskjet 3900 printer. how can i see ink levels and have some advanced configs and printing quality levels . like in windows? [08:34] kuru: what do you want to change it to? [08:34] is ther a virtualization thing built in to Hoary [08:34] double click [08:34] :) [08:34] Qrawl: Hoary? [08:34] Johnny_: you have to extract the files and probably compile the program [08:34] Jordan_U: I don't have that installed it says [08:34] Johnny_, Are you sure it's not available in the repos or as a .deb file? [08:34] lol hoary [08:35] Ziroday: launchpad is full of it. Since I installed hardy I cant install nvidia propietary drivers. Neither through Hardware drivers neither manually [08:35] well, it's time for bobbie to go to bed, night all!!!! [08:35] I mean Hardy [08:35] and the max resolution I get is 800x600 [08:35] I know a guy, who uses still Breezy Badger... [08:35] darryl: how do i compile it [08:35] heron [08:35] <`mIRC`> what is the most suitable filesystem (ext1...ext2...ext3) to use for install ubuntu? [08:35] wow there are so many trolls here tonight. more so than normal [08:35] can't separate the noobs from the trolls either [08:35] Johnny_, extract the archive [08:35] mIRC: ext3 is probably your best bet [08:35] Flannel: http://rafb.net/p/xR4JIF23.html [08:35] or xfs... [08:35] hugol1: don't know anything about that sorry, proprietary drivers work fine for me [08:35] He asked on wednesday, why he dont get any update anymore.... [08:35] boeing: i extracted how do i compile it [08:35] `mIRC`: ext2 for the kernel /boot and ext3 for any data you care about (like your home dir, etc.) [08:35] Johnny_: that depends on the program, normally it would be sudo ./configure && make && make install [08:36] <`mIRC`> Zloog : excuse me....why is that so? [08:36] then go to a directory where u can find a file "configure" [08:36] screen resolution on an external monitor for laptops is a nightmare, help, i got intel 855 card [08:36] ziroday, to just switch to the other app [08:36] tried the binary installer? [08:36] `mIRC`: no one uses ext1 [08:36] Ziroday: ok [08:36] darryl: where do i even type this in [08:36] kuru: eh? [08:36] ext3 is cool [08:36] Johnny_, open a terminal and cd to that folder [08:36] ./configure [08:36] boeing: what does cd mean [08:36] ziroday, no animation [08:36] 'mIRC': ext3 is the slowest, but has the best failure recovery [08:36] nikitis: and rootnoverify gives the same error? [08:36] change directory [08:36] Johnny_, Are you sure it's not available in the repos or as a .deb file? [08:36] change irectory [08:36] Johnny_, cd means change directory [08:37] 'mIRC': jfs has the lowest cpu usage [08:37] hi, is there anyone who can help me get my maxtor external hard drive mounted and working on ububtu 7.10 - which ive just loaded on pc to replace windows, it worked perfectly fine elsewhere on widows, I think I need to run some checks as I dont know why it wont mount [08:37] Flannel: yes it does [08:37] jordan: i am sure [08:37] reiserfs? [08:37] Johnny_, What are you trying to install? [08:37] jordan: apache === mbah is now known as iwan [08:37] Flannel: i assume you mean change root (hd2,0) to rootnoverify (hd2,0) [08:37] nikitis: Have you tried adding 'makeactive' after the root line? [08:37] <`mIRC`> thanx you guyz for advice :D [08:37] nikitis: I do. [08:37] so about my question, does Hardy have builtin virtualization [08:37] mIRC: Your filesystem type usually doesnt matter too much. The only important thing is that it is journalizing, which ext3 is. Barring that, you don't need anything fancy unless you have a very particular need. [08:37] how would I get a drive to mount everytime I turn on my machine [08:37] jordan: i have extracted to the desktop can u tell me exactly what 2 type in the terminal [08:37] darryl, sudo ./configure && make && make install probably wouldn't cut it .. ./configure and make do not need to be run as root, make install does tho [08:37] How do i disable Tracker? I already removed the Session-Entries. Trackerd still starts from time to time.

[09:05] pengo: hmm, thats weird [09:05] if anyone here is using lirc remote that used gpio module on hardy please query me [09:05] pengo: working fine here. try mounting it from the command line [09:05] corbett: is your maxtor 260MB, or is that a thumb drive you got also [09:05] why use ubuntu its so complicated! vista is so easy click click click and its more stable/secure than ubuntu! [09:05] IndyGunFreak, cause wubi in included, which means it's easier for windows users to try out ubuntu... which is good, but ehm.. if the website doesn't work for them at all... they just won't bother [09:05] lalalala, #ubuntu-offtopic [09:05] Light-: well not so weird. i had the same problem in gutsy. (this is a clean install) [09:06] dont know much about how to edit xstartup script, where can i reaqd about it? [09:06] pengo: does it work fine in windows? [09:06] macouno: well, i imagine the website works.... why wouldn't it. [09:06] grimsqueaker13, just edit it, and add some programs to run when you start the VNC. [09:06] Anybody know why they thought it was a good idea to remove torrent links from the download page a few releases back? [09:06] Did something change in 8.04 to make it so that my samba share settings arent saved in /etc/samba/smb.conf anymore? The shares are working fine, but I dont see the share settings in the smb.conf file anymore. [09:06] pengo: your motherboards USB could be dodgy [09:06] Hello. Can I install more than one version of Ubuntu on my computer. For example Ubuntu, KUbuntu and EDUbuntu? [09:06] Light-: yes. and i even installed Ubuntu from a thumb drive. [09:06] pengo: ah, ok [09:06] You'd probably want to add "metacity&", "xterm" [09:06] gnuskool: 260 MB is a thunb drive istick in to see if the reaer usb is working, the maxtro is 100 GB [09:06] OsamaK: sure [09:06] IndyGunFreak, well... it doesn't... I found at least half a dozen issues wihtin 5 minutes of browsing [09:06] grimsqueaker13: when u get it right, u have a full destop: ) oldl thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402, probably still valid [09:07] is there a command that will tell me what video driver i'm using? [09:07] IndyGunFreak, issues like not being able to go beyond the first item in the dropdown menu (and on some pages no dropdown menu showing at all)... [09:07] mintsoup: look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:07] mintsoup: look at the Driver section [09:07] macouno: well who's to say thast Ubuntu's fault? IE isn't exactly known for blazing speed and stability... I'd say if most people are looking at Free Alternatives, good possibility they are already using Opera or Firefox [09:07] mintsoup: unless.... what version of ubuntu are you using ? [09:07] ah yes shoulda thought of that ;p Thanks [09:07] Light-: yep. manual mounting works [09:08] pengo: weird that automounting doesnt [09:08] OsamaK, install one *ubuntu and insert the other cds. the package manager will automatically detect and u can add the other cds as offline repos [09:08] 8.04 :o [09:08] gnuskool: what are you thinking about? [09:08] Hello to everybody! [09:08] hi all [09:08] mintsoup: that will be fine [09:08] Light-: just did sudo mount /dev/sdb1 drive [09:08] genie, hi [09:08] Floodbot2, hi. [09:08] Light-, add /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab with right parameters if u want regularly [09:09] IndyGunFreak, I'ts not a matter of "fault"... it should be "made to work", having a website that doesn't work in the big 3 browsers is just not a good idea [09:09] boeing: pengo is having the problem not me :) [09:09] I cannot switch between keyboard layout when I press both ALT together ! any idea? [09:09] pengo, add /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab with right parameters if u want regularly [09:09] ikonia: Great. I'm using Ubuntu + Ubuntu-KDE4, but I wasn't very sure of other versions like ED, X.. [09:09] IndyGunFreak, anyway... I just thought I'd mention it in case one of the webdevs was in here [09:09] question: is it a bad idea to comment out a line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer? [09:09] OsamaK, install one *ubuntu and insert the other cds. the package manager will automatically detect and u can add the other cds as offline repos [09:09] macouno: well, write canonical, i'm sure they'd just love to hear about it.

[09:17] nick_: why are you doing that ? there is a package in ubuntu for flash player [09:17] Qrawl: kvm needs hardware virtualisation support, a few years old is probably too old for it [09:17] sucka: it is strongly advised that you don't use rpm's on ubuntu machines [09:17] oh ok [09:17] ikonia: i was trying to view soething and i had to click to download plugin [09:17] Well can someone help me :-\ my firefox crashes very often after the upgrade, this is the error in the console "firefox: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0." [09:17] ikonia: how do i install that [09:17] nick_: install the flash package through synaptic [09:18] how would I get a drive to mount everytime I turn on my machine [09:18] theres also a deb installer but the rpm installer has all the example files for my software hmm.. [09:18] sleepster: put it in your fstab file [09:18] sucka: is the program you are looking to install from rpm available via apt? [09:18] ikonia: doing that now [09:18] ikonia: cheers [09:18] thanks ikonia [09:18] dystopianray, ok ty [09:18] nick_: the package is "flashplugin-nonfree" [09:18] does taskel even work ? [09:18] nick_, do this sudo apt-get flashplugin-nonfree [09:18] gord: i am not sure [09:18] It's faster, and close your browser while doing it. [09:19] sucka, What is the application? [09:19] !ipv6 [09:19] To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [09:19] Jordan_U: it is LPL Language Proof and Logic [09:19] so noone interested in looking into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/216927 with me ? :) [09:20] how can i read from a /dev/ttyUSB0 device from the terminal? [09:20] pengo, is that drive a usb key? [09:20] how do you login to termina [09:20] boeing: yes [09:21] do you have to put password and udername in [09:21] nick_: just use synaptic if your not comfortable with a terminal [09:21] nick_: First create your UNIX password [09:21] http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11637.html [09:21] sucka: its a educationaltool right? boolean logic etc ? [09:21] to pengo [09:21] Do this in terminal: sudo passwd root [09:21] iGraphiX: no! [09:21] igraphix: unix password? [09:21] Then follow the instructions. [09:21] boeing: thanks [09:21] yes. [09:21] iGraphiX: we do not recommend that [09:21] sucka, http://ggww2.stanford.edu/GUS/lpl/faq.jsp#LinuxPackageInstall claims that they provide .deb installers ( which you would just need to double click ) [09:21] gord: yes [09:21] hi [09:21] Hey guys, assuming a fairly well defragged drive; does using Wubi and a virtual drive image impact performance all that much? [09:21] ikonia: i want to get familiar with the terminal [09:22] iGraphiX: we do not recommend that, and even less so to new users [09:22] Well, he must know it, too, he will need it eventually. [09:22] Question: If I have 3 harddrives, and Windows XP is on harddrive 1 and /boot is on harddrive 2, will that create a problem during ubuntu installation for grub? [09:22] considering debian for my hand-me-down MacBookPro; comments welcome [09:22] I have a problem with installing Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.04 [09:22] iGraphiX: no [09:22] where did that file you gave me go to ? [09:22] nick_: very admirable [09:22] How's got 8.04 up and running then? Is it all good? [09:22] Ovidiu, what seems to be the problem? [09:22] nick_: you won't need a password to use the terminal [09:22] TB`: try it [09:22] pengo, and fstab is for permanancy,eg.a new hdd so i dont think u need to change there [09:22] How are you finding it so far ikonia? [09:22] My PC freez at 24% (sometimes at 27%) when it's copy the files [09:22] nick_: open a terminal from the applications accessories menu [09:22] TB`: try it for yourself [09:22] \.. it's already building the kernel [09:22] hi [09:22] TB`: I use kubuntu and I think this is the best release yet, much better than 7.10 [09:22] Hi! having installed hardy, and kubuntu-desktop on it apparently automounting in gnome broke: it works if I use a kde session, but in gnome sessions if I plug in the usb thumbdrive, it doesn't get mounted. judging from dmesg it gets recognized correctly. What should I check? [09:22] ikonia: yip [09:23] dystopianray: excellent [09:23] Anyone? [09:23] nick_: then "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [09:23] Zloog: what do u think of this http://paste.ubuntu.com/8002/ [09:23] ok, distaster alert: unbutu 8.04 install cd -> selected install ubuntu -> i was not prompted on what i would like to do with my partitions -> now i've lost my raid array [09:23] I am using the hardy heron alt version and did a sudo tasksel install lamp-server [09:23] am i screwed? [09:23] so, anything wrong? The range of IP I would like pg to listen is 10.1.1.0 (0..255) [09:23] Jordan_U: ive tried double clicking the deb installed but then what do i do run in terminal or what? [09:23] sucka: hmm, well let me explain breifly, RPM is the Red Hat Package manager, designed for a different flavour of linux, we'd recoomne dusing APT desighned for this ubuntu flavour....but u cant i think, its only avaiilable in rpm for you. u have no real cjhoice but to try,. normally rpm scause future troubles that apt doesnt [09:23] it just hangs on the screen and never gets past 0% apt-get update and upgrade work fine [09:23] Line_: data gone [09:23] anyone know if hardy heron broke tasksel? [09:23] :/ [09:24] guys if i insert my flash drive, where will it be in terms of root? [09:24] l2s: servers are heavily bogged down now [09:24] sucka: rpm's arent totally evil, just not optimum, and arent supported [09:24] * baddog feels sorry for Line_ [09:24] lovely how can i install ubuntu onto a raid array? [09:24] i had jamals help already [09:24] hi, ever since the update to 8.04, my mount points do not work. I've updated any changes to name /etc/* in the fstab yet it won't show the drives as files when mounted, only their respective GB sizes [09:24] is there any other way to install it ? [09:24] Line_: use a supported raid card/technology [09:24] gord: i see [09:24] Sajuukkhar: usually in a subdirectory of /media [09:24] where can i learn about the terminal and the commands [09:24] mmk [09:24] hi.. i want to add another hdd. what is the easiest way to partition/format/add it? i installed gparted, but i wont work. when i run it, it wont stop scanning the system.. [09:24] sucka, Can you pastebin the output of "dpkg -L " ? [09:24] its been waiting 10 minutes and not moving [09:24] nick_: http://www.tldp.org [09:24] its just that i cant find it there [09:24] im running ubuntu in recovery mode [09:24] is Gigabyte technologies GsataII supported? [09:24] l2s: yea took 20 mins for me to install gcc [09:24] gord: i know that it works fine cause i installed it on 7.10 [09:24] cos of a huge line of problems [09:25] im backing up my system [09:25] gord: i can try [09:25] Line_: fakeraid which is what your using is not really a supported/stable platform [09:25] maxtor external hard drive problem any advice? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8002/ [09:25] and reformatting [09:25] ah [09:25] sajukkhar: Is it mounted? check df -h, it would be the last item on the list [09:25] sucka: well, at your own risk....i never had a problem that i could fix tho :) [09:25] k lemme check [09:25] should i utilize my onboard nvidia raid controller? or will i need a hardware solution? [09:25] coulkdnt fox rofl [09:25] wish they would use bittorrent only to distribute new releases [09:25] couldnt? [09:25] haha [09:25] Hey guys, assuming a fairly well defragged drive; does using Wubi and a virtual drive image impact performance all that much? [09:25] Line_: onboard nvidia controller = fake raid [09:25] wow [09:25] somebody buy me a new kdb and fingers [09:25] They do, it's just that some bonehead took it off the main download page a couple releases back :p [09:26] nope [09:26] not there [09:26] Grub Question: If my Bios boots SDA with windows on it, then I go to install ubuntu on SDB. Where will grub write the boot loader? [09:26] hsould i try another usb port? [09:26] Naithin|AFK: wubi is never going to be that fast; better to move it to an lvm or use unetbootin [09:26] ov1d1u: Have you checked the CD, it's perhaps the CD, if not, try to check your hard-drive, do a defrag, check MBR and repair it, then re-create partitions [09:26] isn't the CD [09:26] i have testet with 3 cd's [09:26] anyone know a way for me to recover files from a destroyed raid0 (2 drives) ? [09:26] two kubuntu cds and one with ubuntu [09:26] how can i read from a /dev/ttyUSB0 device from the terminal? [09:26] Line_: it's gone [09:27] oiy [09:27] Check the MD5 [09:27] Sajuukkhar: Nah, just mount it manually. Uh, do 'ls /dev/sd*' It'll list a couple things. The flash drive's partition should be the last item on the list. [09:27] les: you mean mount it? [09:27] !md5 [09:27] bazhang: Thanks baz. So I can take that to say then that there is significant and noticeable impact by using Wubi? Ah well. Will be worth a try at least, want to see if I can coax my X-Fi card to work under a 32bit linux install this time around. heh [09:27] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [09:27] alright, so if i wish to install ubuntu on my current configuration i will need to use just one drive until i can find a hardware raid solution? [09:27] Grub Question: If my Bios boots SDA with windows on it, then I go to install ubuntu on SDB. Where will grub write the boot loader? [09:27] Line_: or use linux software raid, but that is a much more complex solution [09:27] btw ebay is real cheap for ide raid controllers [09:27] nikitis: should be sda [09:28] alrighty [09:28] I have a keyboard layout problem can anyone help [09:28] Sajuukkhar: run 'sudo mount /dev/sd__ /mnt' where sd__ is the last item on the list, and it'll mount it on /mnt [09:28] look for 3ware 7506-4 or -2 [09:28] thanks again ikonia [09:28] If I have an Intel Quadcore 6600 processor, which flavor of Hardy Heron should I get? 32bit or 64bit? [09:28] l2s, That's fakeraid though [09:28] less than 30 bucs [09:28] ikonia: will it do it automatically? Or do I have to tell it sda? [09:28] no its not [09:28] JCSmith1337: depends on your need [09:28] its a real ide raid card not software raid [09:28] What's Ubuntu DVD? [09:28] how can i read from a /dev/ttyUSB0 device from the terminal? [09:28] nikitis: should do it auto [09:28] o i get it [09:28] Does it includes all versions? [09:28] JCSmith1337: Flash and some video codecs sometimes don't like to work with 64-bit [09:28] im running in recovery mode [09:28] ikonia: is 32bit more stable? [09:28] whence why i cant see it [09:28] JCSmith1337: not really no [09:28] Aha. [09:29] ikonia: Mr. Helper :-) [09:29] les, just output it to the terminal? dd if=/dev/ttyUSB0 [09:29] jeanre or exaile [09:29] ok then [09:29] ikonia: What's Ubuntu DVD? [09:29] i shall reboot [09:29] great cards going cheap [09:29] think i preferred #ubuntu+1 [09:29] OsamaK: more cmoplete repos [09:29] JCSmith1337: more packages are supported with 32-bit [09:29] but how do i boot only to terminal and not to gnome [09:29] ikonia: Does it includes all versions? [09:29] http://www.officerecovery.com/freeundelete/download.htm.. Installing an undelete program can overwrite your file :).. ccleaner is okay, but not the end all [09:29] nikitis: thanks :D [09:29] please can someone help me, my system was running perfectly and now its just screwed! [09:29] nikitis: Really? Which ones? [09:29] it includes the repos - not versions [09:29] JCSmith1337: not really a performance difference [09:29] ikonia: repos? [09:30] JCSmith1337: 32-bit will still use all 4 cores [09:30] OsamaK: software repositories, sorry [09:30] :) [09:30] nikitis: thanks that was my next question [09:30] Looks like im off to grab the 32 bit [09:30] JCSmith1337: There can be a performance difference actually. For example, I noticed a 30% reduction in CPU with h.64 playback with 64-bit. [09:30] thanks so much! [09:30] where do you change the pointer theme? [09:30] Hey dudes, NFS4 problem: can't connect to an export on a Gutsy server, with the error: "mount.nfs4: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported". It worked just before the upgrade to Hardy. Any suggestions? [09:31] I dont get it why people hate Hillary though.. UNTIL.. until I learn about this guy Peter Paul [09:31] JCSmith1337: but what good is performance if you can't do anything with it [09:31] For GeeXboX users: http://zchan.homeunix.net/pub/Ubuntu.APP/GeeXboX/ [09:31] he's already gone. [09:31] how dows ubuntu boot up without a xorg.conf ? [09:31] hei [09:31] Also, I'd love to know what one can't do with 64-bit [09:31] tobmalf, Try #politics [09:31] Does this release of the 64bit kernel work with Intel C2D chips? I heard that it wasn't so well supported with the 7.04 release. [09:31] it doesnt [09:31] DracoZA: it's dynamic [09:31] my xorg screwed up too draco [09:31] Naithin|AFK: Yes, it works. [09:32] Fritzel: right click your desktop, change background, click the theme tab, whatever theme you have enabled(its probably labeled custom), click modify, then click the "pointer" tab [09:32] i suggest reformatting and installing fresh [09:32] ikonia dynamic ? [09:32] Thanks Asc. [09:32] Naithin|AFK: you heard wrong [09:32] dell inspiron 1525 video acceleration problems any thing i can do? [09:32] IndyGunFreak, excellent thank you [09:32] DracoZA: xorg trys to work out your hardware settings and is overriddent by the xorg config file [09:32] DracoZA and Sajuukkhar: You guys tried the restricted software? E.g. nVidia. [09:32] iGraphiX, i did, working fine here. [09:32] Yes, here too. [09:32] igraphic shall i link you to my post on ubuntuforums? [09:33] At some point takes control of your xorg. And I guess they are having this problem. [09:33] ikonia ok, does nvidia-settings have a seperate conf file of some sort ? [09:33] Sajuukkhar, yes, please. [09:33] DracoZA: that normally runs in memory [09:33] DracoZA: changes would have to be written to xorg.conf [09:33] DracoZA, nvidia-settings save to the normal Xorg.conf [09:33] Sajuukkhar, read what ikonia just wrote. [09:33] It does backups though, I think. [09:33] hey have any of you managed to network into a PS3? [09:33] UGH, my sound keeps going out, and I have to restart for it to work again. Is there a way to restart ALSA or something? :/ [09:33] im tryna send music over [09:34] How do I get hyperlinks in pidgin and thunderbird to open up in firefox? [09:34] Maxdamantus will it read the backups if no xorg.conf exists ? [09:34] hello :) [09:34] DracoZA, no. [09:34] DracoZA: no [09:34] just wait on [09:34] DracoZA: you have to tell it to read the files [09:34] X looks for /etc/x11/Xorg.conf [09:34] If it doesn't exist, it'll guess some settings./ [09:35] I have installed Ubuntu 64bit alongside Vista, but now I want Ubuntu 32bit because of program problems, if I just reinstall will it use the 64 bit partitioning etc or install along side the 64bit? [09:35] hi, how can i auto mount partitions on hardy? gutsy used to mount them automatically... hardy doesn't [09:35] please, I've a probleme with an USB flash disk.. KINGMAX 1Gb.. gutsy don't detect it at all [09:35] can anyone help me ? [09:35] Koheleth: you tell it what partition to use [09:35] teban, /etc/fstab? [09:35] my problem [09:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765574 [09:35] ikonia: That's meaning all programs that can be installed? [09:36] OsamaK: all the ones written to the cd [09:36] yeah i've read about that... but i don't know exactly what i have to add to that file [09:36] OsamaK: dvd sorry [09:36] Rafik: there should be know issues with flash disk can you pastebin fdisk -l please [09:36] ikonia: I hate messing with partitions :( [09:36] but [09:36] Koheleth: "select partition /dev/sda2" is not "messing with partitions" [09:36] the partitions are /media/sda1 and /media/sda5 [09:36] ikonia: you need a cup of tea to be more relax :-) [09:36] yeah i got gutsy and i keep hearing that its predesessor was so much better [09:36] OsamaK: what ? I'm relaxed [09:36] im asking how do i just boot to the terminal and not to GNOME [09:37] recovery mode doesnt see my flash drive [09:37] Sajuukkhar: use recovery mode, or remove gdm from the start up runlevel [09:37] Ziroday, i send you this in an mp ? [09:37] or my Ipod [09:37] the Ubiquity installer failed to install GRUB and didn't tell me about it, it just crashed (really crappy btw for an LTS release I must say) [09:37] sda1 will be where my windows install is right [09:37] what is the value that GRUB needs for the initrd? [09:37] Rafik: this is gutsy? I use the kingmax 8GB and see it fine (though this is Hardy) [09:37] Rafik: no in pastebin [09:37] z.z don't even remind me of that screw up dushantch [09:37] how do i use remove gdm? [09:37] MrWGW-: none [09:37] !paste | Rafik [09:37] and are there any special parameters that the UBuntu kernel requires? [09:37] Rafik: 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) [09:37] Sajuukkhar: update-rc [09:37] hi [09:37] gord: i downloaded the deb file from the lop website and when i opened it it said that it was either corrupt or i di not have permission to open the file [09:37] what? [09:37] iknoia: if I just tell it to boot /vmlinuz, the kernel panics [09:37] Sajuukkhar: sudo apt-get remove gdm [09:38] k [09:38] Ziroday: no no no no [09:38] Ziroday: he meant from the start up [09:38] MrWGW-, that's not an initrd. [09:38] btw can ubuntu be uninstalled? [09:38] That's a kernel. [09:38] i also have no mouse drivers [09:38] Sajuukkhar: that will delete it from your system [09:38] Sajuukkhar: wait stop [09:38] Koheleth: no [09:38] :) [09:38] Koheleth: you have to delete it [09:38] ikonia: woops, sorry [09:38] The initrd is an initial filesystem image. [09:38] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:38] Maxdamantus: no duh [09:38] I thought so [09:38] Sajuukkhar: that command will delete from your system [09:38] does anyone know what option i have to give to grub in order to install in safe graphic mode ? [09:38] yes quite, and GRUB says that /initrd.img does't exist, even though it does [09:38] Sajuukkhar: why do you need mouse drivers? [09:38] id [09:38] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765574 [09:38] read [09:38] and if I just tell it to boot /vmlinuz as the kernel, and do not specify an initrd, it panics [09:38] Ziroday : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64333/ thanks [09:38] Is there a netboot image for Hardy? There doesn't seem to be one on the cd I downloaded, like the howto suggests [09:38] I think sda1 and sda2 are both windows [09:38] MrWGW-, so you have /boot as a separate partition? [09:39] I'm primarily ticked that Ubiquity just crashed without even giving me a warning [09:39] no [09:39] i read i should add these lines to fstab... [09:39] /dev/hda4 /media/nameyouchoose auto defaults 0 1 [09:39] /dev/hda6 /media/othernameyouchoose auto defaults 0 1 [09:39] I have a scrollwheel on my keyboard, does anyone know how to get that working? [09:39] in my case... [09:39] so I guess it will be sda3 I will choose to use for Ubuntu [09:39] "/" is one partitoin, there isn't even a separate home [09:39] all the time :) [09:39] Then it doesn't. It'll be under /boot/initrd.img unless you specifically moved it to / [09:39] Baughn: should be; unetbootin would be the one--what is your host os [09:39] MrWGW-: looks like your "root" is wrong then [09:39] should it be /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 defaults 0 1? [09:39] GRUB is installed on a different partition, the root of a Fedora install [09:39] Rafik: can you verify the thumbdrive is working? [09:39] my root is right (hd0,11), I know that because the kernel starts if I boot it [09:39] bazhang: Host os? Debian, I guess [09:39] it just panics, complaining about not synching [09:39] thanks :D [09:39] MrWGW-: so thats the problem then [09:40] ok, so what parameters does it require? [09:40] Ziroday : you mean, test it on another computer ? [09:40] what is the address of the initrd, if there is one? [09:40] yeah [09:40] Rafik: yep [09:40] Baughn: if you /msg ubotu wubi you can read the ubuntuforums links on unetbootin [09:40] Sajuukkhar, boot a live!cd version, backup your files and do a clean install. If you're trying to repair all those errors it will take more than a clean install, so why bother, just install. And make sure you chose a closer mirror for the updates in the future. [09:40] initrd.img is "not found" by GRUB, even though I know it to be there... [09:40] MrWGW-: what partition is your ubuntu install on [09:40] Rafik: one where you know it works or is Windows/Mac [09:40] (hd0,11) [09:40] igraph, my internet downloads 25kb/s [09:40] its the fastest i can get [09:40] Auch! [09:40] ikonia I use a nvidia card, will my system work properly if I dont use restricted drivers [09:41] Rafik: did you use the usbkey before? the kingmax I have is fine [09:41] I'm in the GRUB console right now, so if you just tell me what to enter, I'll enter it, and then copy it over into the GRUB menu.lst [09:41] MrWGW-: initrd is not called "initrd" [09:41] and also [09:41] MrWGW-, so you have 11 partitions + extended? [09:41] bazhang : Yes [09:41] *nods* try putting a 4 5 after the 1 2 3 6 7 [09:41] i did put in my ubuntu dapper live cd [09:41] Ziroday : Ivnt another pc now :( [09:41] MrWGW-: it's called initrd.img-$version-$type [09:41] thought i was the only 1 getting slow DL [09:41] and it didnt see my sajuuk folder [09:41] mine is ~25k [09:41] I have lots of partitions [09:41] KEYBOARD LAYOUT PROBLEM PLEASE HELP [09:41] and its in boot? [09:41] ikonia: Is there a DVD that includes all [K,X,ED]Ubuntu? [09:41] memetali: don't show [09:41] memetali: don't shout [09:41] hmm the kernel requires the root partition be passed to it as a parameter? [09:41] Rafik: okay no prob, just try plugging the thumb drive into a different USB port [09:41] memetali: it gets you put on ignore [09:41] Then do a clean install with the 8.04 and that's it. There will be some time until next updates anyway. [09:42] bazhang: I don't have an OS on the machine I'm planning to install ubuntu on [09:42] OsamaK: they are the same system - different desktops [09:42] gord: and the files that are download dont have an extension of .deb do i change it to it or not? [09:42] bazhang: That's whyI was looking for a netboot image specifically [09:42] ikonia [09:42] I see [09:42] where i can configure vga driver ? [09:42] "su user" will keep the same prompt variables the user HAD... it won't cause it to change.. LordFrith, su - user will reset it, so could change the prompt [09:42] it does them too. but i haven't played with that much. i just make the round labels usually [09:43] so what would the pathnames be then for the default kernel and initrd in 8.04? [09:43] Ziroday : I did it : same thing, the usb port is working with my optical mouse [09:43] bazhang: ..unetbootin looks like it should work, I guess. Wubi, not so much. [09:43] i know i can just screw up my xorg file and do it through [09:43] MrWGW-: mount your partition and look at what version your using [09:43] there [09:43] KEYBOARD LAYOUT PROBLEM PLEASE HELP [09:43] memetali: last request, stop shouting [09:43] Baughn: need windows for wubi ;] [09:43] caps memetali [09:43] memetali: it will end up getting you into trouble [09:43] ok [09:43] MrWGW-, check /boot/ [09:43] well, are the kernel and initrd in boot the default ones? [09:43] i'm having a tough time figuring out which drive is faulty (i have 2 on raid0).. system is in LA. im in bangkok [09:43] or are the default ones those off the root? [09:43] MrWGW-: just look for your self [09:44] MrWGW-: mount your ubuntu partition and look in the /boot partition [09:44] Rafik: okay then, stuff like usb flash drives nearly always work with linux, check to make sure the flash drive is actually working [09:44] look, how about we make this easier, could anyone post their /boot/grub/menu.lst to Pastebin? [09:44] MrWGW-: how about we make this clear [09:44] MrWGW-: look for your self [09:44] MrWGW-: mount the ubuntu partition [09:44] http://p.facepwn.com/25 [09:44] ^ MrWGW- [09:44] ty Max [09:45] Ziroday : Thanks, I'll check with another computer, the fact is that I'havnt used it for a week :( [09:45] I just installed Ubuntu and works just fine. downloaded a google mail notifier for linux and unpacked in the terminal and started it and it works fine. BUT if i close the terminal window that i opened the program with, the program closes aswell. [09:45] and if I would like that program to autostart where to go? [09:45] Rafik: sorry think it might be naft, if it works on a different comp come back [09:45] prem, press alt + f2, run it there. [09:45] Afk. [09:45] Good Morning. Anyone here knowledgeable with joining an ubuntu client to SME Server? I have some questions [09:46] Ziroday : ok . thank you for your assistance [09:46] preme: installed from where? some random website or repos [09:46] Rafik: no problem [09:46] ican't help you...no mplayer on my server [09:46] insalled i don't know i configured it with ./notifer.py [09:46] and a config box came up and then worked [09:46] preme: just install from the repos [09:46] bazhang: can i speak with you in private? [09:46] better to do it in channel preme [09:47] what is the repos? [09:47] prem: you could run it in screen and detach, or append it with an & [09:47] Hi, is there problems with mirrors? I can't seem like install new stuff with apt-get install [09:47] & ? [09:47] sudo apt-get install gmail-notify preme [09:47] prem: do what bazhang says [09:47] preme: synaptic [09:47] arstanj: may be slow from the recent release of hardy [09:47] Does anyone know why I can't share a directory, I keep getting the following error: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied [09:48] bazhang: yeah, might be [09:48] hm ok gonna try that [09:48] I'd assume its still possible to go root=/dev/sda12 as opposed to using the device ID? [09:48] bazhang: I try other repos still same [09:48] also does the rootfs need to be mounted read only? [09:48] I need to read a good manual. I don't even know where to put installed programs and such [09:48] arstanj: please pastebin sources.list [09:49] used to the windows setup [09:49] bazhang: i've not tried gmail-notify, checkgmail works nicely though [09:49] but Im willing to learn so thanks for the help [09:49] and also, will anything break if I don't give it the "quiet" and "splash" params? I prefer a non-quiet boot to aid in troubleshooting [09:49] preme: you don t need to it will do it for you [09:49] Hi! [09:49] IndyGunFreak: thanks! [09:49] preme: youll get the hang of it, [09:49] IndyGunFreak: does it works with google mail? [09:49] preme: use Add/Remove Software, or the Synaptic Package Manager, its fully automatic [09:49] prem: If you use the synaptic package manager, it will put things in the right place for you. [09:49] it's possible have the wiki code of ubuntu? [09:49] almost, but not entirely unlike an "iTunes Style Interface" perhaps [09:49] preme: you may also try checkgmail [09:49] doogers: it's an open source product [09:49] Does a default install have any tool that can display the size of a non-mounted partition? [09:49] MrWGW-: but is google notifier there? [09:50] ........................... [09:50] maybe, look [09:50] lalalala: stop ! [09:50] asc: cfdisk [09:50] My firefox 3 install (that I didn't need nor want) that came with 8.04 won't even load. Even when I change the profile settings to default. [09:50] preme: it is also in addremove [09:50] preme: yes,... quite well actually... ony thing i've found is you have to manually add it to your startup programs so it starts on boot, beyond that though, i love it.. you can delete mails, mark spam, etc, w/o even loggig into your account [09:50] ikonia: what's its name? [09:50] doogers: it's on the bottom of the pages [09:50] neeto: then install firefox 2 [09:50] lalalala: do you have a question or just want attention [09:50] arj: Thanks [09:50] anyone gets darkage of camelot to work? [09:51] ikonia: where? [09:51] Ziroday: righo [09:51] i asked zillion times [09:51] is there a shortcut to access terminal in GNOME without a mouse? [09:51] lalalala: ask in #winehq or check appdb [09:51] Sajuukkhar: alt-f2 -> gnome-terminal -> enter [09:51] (that's one way that works at least) [09:51] I have my .evolution from a previous unix installation. Evolution does not seem to recognize my old settings if I just put it in ~/.evolution though. Is there anyway to import the settings? [09:51] k [09:52] I can't change pointer themes via appearance even though the option is there, does compiz or any other package fight with those settings for pointer themes? [09:52] Sajuukkhar: you can create a keyboard shortcut in Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts [09:52] !appdb | lalalala [09:52] lalalala: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [09:52] doogers: your right, it's gone, one moment [09:52] !wine [09:52] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [09:52] ziro i cant use my mouse [09:52] actually, GRUB says it can't find the initrd, although I can guarantee you its there [09:52] didn't find it in add program [09:52] ikonia: thanks [09:52] will the system boot without the initrd? [09:52] preme: its in the repositories [09:52] preme: system/admin/synaptic [09:52] MrWGW-, no, it won't [09:52] its an ext3 FS [09:52] Does anyone know why I can't share a directory, I keep getting the following error: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied [09:52] * MrWGW- fears there might be some nasty bug with GRUB [09:53] hang3r, do you need sudo there? [09:53] preme: do a search for checkgmail it will pop up [09:53] why that pathetic Ubiquity installer couldn't have just done its job I can't imagine, in my experience Ubiquity is one of the most brittle and untrustworthy installers of any Linux distro - I'd be using a different distro except I need LTSP [09:53] I can't get my upgrade to work for a variety of reasons.. is there any way that i can in some way "automate" the transfer of all my stuff (docs, DLs, folders, torrents, mails, etc.) from Gutsy? [09:53] * MrWGW- sighs [09:53] how can I reset all themes/icons and other cosmetics to ubuntu defaults ? [09:53] oh another "packer" so you guys almost never install programs that are not in the synaptic or the add/remove program? [09:53] preme: system\administration\synaptic package manager.....at the top...use the search [09:53] MrWGW-: there is not [09:53] unop, This is from the gui, I'll try running nautilus as root and see what happens [09:53] preme: synaptic is generally the way to go... [09:53] MrWGW-, haven't had any problems with it. [09:53] cool [09:54] how to add it to the autostart? so I don't have to start it myself every time? [09:54] check /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters and the ilk [09:54] MrWGW-: no problems here; you multi-booting? [09:54] er wait no it did change my pointers sorta [09:54] it only changed some of them [09:54] preme: just make sure you install checkgmail and not kcheckgmail [09:54] unless your using kdE of course [09:54] booyeah! [09:54] capital KDE ;] [09:55] lol [09:55] * IndyGunFreak never capitalizes kde..lol [09:55] How to remove a package with all the config and init scripts altogether? apt-get remove --purge? [09:55] ikonia: nothing? [09:55] bazhang: yes [09:55] yes I took checkgmail , runnin on gnome [09:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [09:55] and Ubuntu tends to puke all over my GRUB config [09:55] doogers: no, I can't find the link any more [09:55] MrWGW-: that is the likely source then [09:55] for that matter, I'm at a loss as to why GRUB can't find the Ubuntu initrd [09:55] preme: let it install... [09:55] well frankly, most distros handle multibooting just fine [09:55] hello, can some one please post checksum for file "ubuntu-8.04-desktop-amd64.iso", because there is no checksum on "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes" web page [09:55] MrWGW-: what is the exact error your getting [09:56] Hi! having installed hardy, and kubuntu-desktop on it apparently automounting in gnome broke: it works if I use a kde session, but in gnome sessions if I plug in the usb thumbdrive, it doesn't get mounted. judging from dmesg it gets recognized correctly. What should I check? [09:56] unop, cheers, wasn't thinking, been a late night waiting for ubuntu release :) [09:56] */the path of initrd/*: File not found [09:56] MrWGW-: multi-boot many distros here; ubuntu is one of the best at playing with others imo [09:56] lalalala, you do not really need wine, you can intall windows and linux on one computer, side by side, to play in windows, and to do the rest in linux [09:56] IndyGunFreak: it's installed [09:56] MrWGW-: the path should just be / [09:56] where */the path of initrd/* == whatever I entered in [09:56] khecim, ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/linux/ubuntu/releases/hardy/MD5SUMS [09:56] preme: ok, applications/internet Gmail checker [09:56] and set up your account [09:56] MrWGW-: paste your menu.lst please.

[09:57] bazhang: How to remove package with all configs/init scripts altogether? [09:57] preme: once you set it up with your account, you should see an envelope in your taskbar... [09:57] it will be red when you get mail [09:58] IndyGunFreak: yes I see it. Cool ubuntu is smooth [09:58] arstanj: the purge option [09:58] will it start everytime I reboot my computer? [09:58] whats the equivalent of ctrl+alt+delete on ubuntu? [09:58] preme: now you need to add checkgmail to your startup programs [09:58] :) [09:58] bazhang: apt-get remove --purge apache2? [09:58] sometimes my ubuntu locks app [09:58] Fujisan: what does that do?

[10:01] Fujisan: if your kernel panics your locked [10:01] err, not epiphany [10:01] evolution [10:01] bazhang: it's a server [10:01] and it annoys me [10:01] unop, well it appears to be a little borked in any case, guest account doesn't work and I can't create or write to files in the directory... Time to get dirty with smb.conf again *sigh* :( [10:01] Fujisan: remap those keys to launch gnome-system-monitor [10:01] you have to edit your own shortcuts [10:01] Hi, I'm configuring my xorg.conf manually for a rather complex setup and I was wondering if there was any way of working out what pieces of hardware are on which pci bus. This is for the line: Busid "PCI:1:9:0" for example [10:01] arstanj: my apologies--perhaps aptitude then [10:01] hello, can anybody help me with metacity? [10:01] http://pastie.caboo.se/186690 [10:01] damn I got alot to learn hehe [10:01] hang3r, or just modify the permissions on the directory being shared - which is probably what you ought to do anyway. [10:01] ok thanks to the guy who gave me that shortcut for the terminal [10:02] thanks alot! [10:02] finger what is your question please specify [10:02] u have saved my school work [10:02] You should really consider that RAM upgrade... or why not a new machine?. So, I just re-installed Ubuntu, X flavour, latest version... is there a GUI configuration for the fourth and fifth mouse buttons yet? [10:02] thank you alot [10:02] note that that's just the Ubuntu entry [10:02] remap how Myrtti? [10:02] hi - I want to setup a file server for ubuntu clients [10:02] i dont know much about linux hence why i am using ubuntu [10:02] Fujisan: system - preferences - keyboard shortcuts [10:02] preme: you could also right click your tray and add to pannel and in accessories youll see an terminal icon [10:02] what is the file name that sets what screenlets start at login, the Myip screenlet absolutely refuses not to start [10:03] system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts will let you set a shortcut for the terminal [10:03] thx! bazhang: metacity keeps crashing whenever compiz starts [10:03] and this will work even when my system locks up Myrtti? [10:03] my googling only seems to come accross articles for windows clients [10:03] preme: many just add the icon to the channel for easy clicking [10:03] just like the reset button? [10:03] preme sorry I meant panel [10:03] Fujisan: if your system is hard locked, you need to reset it [10:03] Fujisan, it'll work as well as the windows equivalent works when windows locks up. [10:03] majikins [10:03] XceII: oddly enough, that doesn't work w/ hardy [10:03] Fujisan: well if it locks, you need to reset it, same with Windows [10:03] is there a server distribution/howto for file server for linux clients [10:03] ? [10:03] it did 4 me [10:03] majikins: what do you want to do [10:04] no windows has ctr+alt+delete [10:04] XceII: in hardy?.. its not even in the list [10:04] o yes it is [10:04] when clients log in, drive is mapped from file server [10:04] majikins, have u tried adding "ubuntu" at the end of ur keyword string? [10:04] bazhang: ok I just did apt-get remove --purge apache2 [10:04] actually my ubuntu locked up more than my vista [10:04] XceII: well i must be missing it then.. i just drug it from the accessories menu. [10:04] is the panel where by default firefox, Evolution mail and a ? icon is at? [10:04] majikins: you want to use https://help.ubuntu.com and look at domain server [10:04] i always have one there. [10:04] Fujisan: and it's doesn't help at all if it's REALLY locked up [10:04] and there is no ctrl+alt+delete function that isnt malicious? [10:04] majikins: or "auto mount" [10:04] majikins: depending [10:04] !vista | Fujisan [10:04] Fujisan: vista is the new 'operating system' by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org and !windows [10:04] cool - I will try that [10:04] Fujisan: as you where told yesterady - NO [10:05] XceII: i don't know, terminal isn't in my list of add to panel applets, it was in Gutsy, but not in hardy [10:05] bazhang: then I still see apache2 in etc, so i temp. moved them, but when I try reinstall apache2 it doesn't put /etc/apache2 back [10:05] there we go, got it [10:05] ok one more question [10:05] Fujisan: alt-sysreq REISUB [10:05] don't you asked this yesterday?. you have got sollution with eval() [10:05] who did that? [10:05] does it matter [10:05] no [10:05] i am seeking help and i get the remove [10:05] move on [10:05] MrWGW-: it's working or you have the file [10:05] Fujisan: stop now please [10:05] its working [10:05] hi friends, i cant find a good mirror for DVD download, do you know any [10:05] I posted a link to the file several lines up :-P [10:05] Fujisan, i thought u said that wasnt u [10:05] MrWGW-: can you explain the issue [10:05] IndyGunFreak: click application launcher, its in accessories [10:05] there is no way either party can get a majority to support a "liberation" of Iran with ground troops [10:05] MrWGW-: sorry, I missed the link [10:05] bazhang: so I guess there should be an option to install totally new setup with new configs? [10:06] which msn clone messenger do you guys prefer? [10:06] XceII: oh ok.. i was used to it being right there. [10:06] the boot process seems rather slow though, so it mgiht be stuck [10:06] MrWGW-: as in what was the problem [10:06] actually 2, first one : how do i find my log files from my dapper>hardy update? [10:06] arstanj: this is odd; that should do it [10:06] tobmalf, not here. this is a support channel not a social or political one [10:06] its been at the phase of apparently loading the CD ROM driver for the past 60 seconds or so [10:06] I can't get my upgrade to work for a variety of reasons.. is there any way that i can in some way "automate" the transfer of all my stuff (docs, DLs, folders, torrents, mails, etc.) from Gutsy? [10:06] how do I install a wacom bamboo tablet? [10:06] 2, how do i update though terminal [10:06] * MrWGW- wonders if Ubiquity failed, just slightly to complete the intall [10:06] preme: amsn may work or pidgin [10:06] my Linux is a little rusty, but login.conf should exist and have a proper value for "openfiles" [10:06] MrWGW-: I've just checked the last log, your link never came through tot eh channel [10:06] m3, you dont :) [10:06] yes it did [10:06] works it came [10:06] MrWGW-: sorry it did [10:06] Fujisan: hold alt-sysreq , then type the following: r e i s u b [10:06] preme: if you don't use video chat, i'd recommend pidgin.. [10:06] I have pidgin now works fine but gonna check out aMsn aswell then [10:06] preme: pidgin is pretty simple [10:07] uhm the dark overlord is a saint and philanthropist who doesnt give a free os to the rich western world to make money to give to the kids in Africa it might be me but that vista thing in the bot is rude and i will personally contact the head of Ubuntu Mark Shuttlework ( i am persistent believe me) and address it [10:07] ok [10:07] thanks [10:07] remove me now [10:07] MrWGW-: why where you using /boot ? [10:07] bazhang: yeah, purge seems not working, the system still knows that I had apache2 previously, so it's trying to use back old configs(but I moved them) [10:07] !offtopic | Fujisan [10:07] Fujisan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:07] I've got to start doing that :/ [10:07] Sajuukkhar: I hope you have more information than that... [10:07] Fujisan: you're fully capable of parting the channel all by yourself [10:07] hi, whats the trick to install the ati driver 8.4 in hardy 64? [10:07] is there any way to turn off the sound that comes like if Iam using bakspace and there is no characters left to delete it makes a sound [10:07] Myrtti: but then nobody would care he left.. :) [10:07] hi there please help me on how set wireless networking with win pc [10:07] ikonia, what do you suggest? I was under the assumption, based on Maxdamantus's comments that /boot was where the default kernels were [10:08] bashca, ##windows [10:08] MrWGW-, that's correct. [10:08] MrWGW-: thats correct, but the "root" option (hd0,11) sets grub to where the stage1 files are (/boot) so / should work [10:08] i promise this is the last time i say this [10:08] how do i do update from GNOME run> Terminal? [10:08] I can't get my upgrade to work for a variety of reasons.. is there any way that i can in some way "automate" the transfer of all my stuff (docs, DLs, folders, torrents, mails, etc.) from Gutsy? [10:08] MrWGW-: /boot is only needed in certain layouts [10:08] (hd0,11) is / [10:09] at any rate, that doesn't explain why the boot process has mysteriously stopped... [10:09] boeing, am using ubuntu i want to join his home network using wireless with router ??? [10:09] do you see anything missing in terms of kernel parameters? [10:09] MrWGW-: ahhhh ok , sorry [10:09] just testing... [10:09] how come my update manager says "new distribution 7.10 is uvailable", when 8.04 is out, is there any way i can update 7.04 to 8.04 bypassing 7.10 [10:09] MrWGW-: I thought your (hd0,11) was your boot partition [10:09] wait, nvm, I see what I left out [10:09] nope [10:09] MrWGW-, try pressing alt + f2 at the beginning of the boot. [10:09] howdi! [10:09] venil: nay [10:09] what does that do? [10:09] could someone have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4782811#post4782811 [10:09] bashca, samba [10:09] hi there.. i'm searching a way to easily display free disk space .. is there's any gnome applet that can show free space ? [10:09] there seems to be a problem with wireless connections [10:10] Takes away the boot logo. So you can see text as it boots. [10:10] which someone else has also detected [10:10] i did but stile i cant read his file ?? [10:10] so, i should do 7.10 and then 8.04 will be uvailable?? [10:10] brb [10:10] venil: aye [10:10] venil: ya [10:10] boeing, i did but stile i can't read his file [10:10] Maxdamantus: apologies didn't mean to step on toes, I was only getting half the info [10:10] bazhang: XceII: cheers guys [10:10] keisangi: Applications > Disk Isage Analyzer (for gutsy at least) [10:11] ok [10:11] hi all [10:11] ikonia, you didn't step on my toes.

[10:12] Sajuukkhar: you don't need mouse drivers [10:12] whats the size on the dist update? [10:12] Sajuukkhar: X11 should deal with that [10:12] Guillaum3: depends on your system [10:12] tobmalf, wrong channel? ##php\ [10:12] tobmalf, u can use system("command") in c++ to do any system-command including manipulated printing [10:12] X11 isnt dealing with that [10:12] i think utf8 [10:12] infact its doing nothing [10:12] hi, can hardy support more than two monitors? I understand this may be complicated and hard to set up but I'd like to know just so that I'm not attempting to do something that's actually impossible [10:12] Sajuukkhar: why not, whats the problem [10:12] boeing, it's PHP. [10:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765574 [10:13] Divot: X11 can support many monitors [10:13] read it [10:13] oh, sry [10:13] tobmalf, exec() has a similar result to system() in C/C++.

I've got "wrong" nickname [10:29] arvind_khadri - there were no lsited requirements, but i found through trial and error that i had to add the libbluetooth-dev file [10:29] whats the point of the system tool's "new login" .... its the same as "change user" === dagon^ is now known as dagon_ [10:29] help Java mozilla plugin doesn't work [10:29] jeanre: are you using Gutsy or Hardy? [10:30] Hmm.. [10:30] now it's correct [10:30] Gutsy [10:30] I go to mozilla about:plugins and it does not show anything there [10:30] Is "deb" shell command? [10:30] is there any xorg gurus here :) [10:30] jeanre: don't know, i know i had a lot of hda issues w/ gutsy, but i got it to work, then i installed Hardy, and it worked out fo the box [10:30] when i go to a site with java applet, it says install plugin, so i do, it says its installed [10:30] Sajuukkhar: thats the config file, I asked for the log file [10:30] Hello, I'm trying to get my J2EE application server to listen on port 80, but for some reason, it complains that there is a conflict on that port [10:30] I'v just upgraded to Hardy, and when I try to play wow, the background texture is gone.. I'm runing in opengl but doesn't work =\ [10:31] where do i find that? [10:31] but when i check about:plugins. nothing is there [10:31] however, both netstat and lsof report that nobody uses port 80 [10:31] xepra: my tracker complained about my transmission version is there an easy way to update? [10:31] Sajuukkhar: /var/log [10:31] :( [10:31] I wonder when persistence broke... worked fine in alpha5/6, never tried w/ beta/rc1, broken in final :/ [10:31] I cant upgrade now [10:31] LordOfThePigs: can you telnet to port 80 ? [10:31] So there really is no conflict at all. [10:31] Anyone know how to get evolution to use kerberos tokens? [10:31] hey does anyone know what the new taskbar icon effects are listed under in compiz? (icon fly out, upon clicking) [10:31] jeanre: why not? [10:31] Is "deb" shell command?

I had a problem with the upgrade to hardy from 7.10. firefox-2 and the firefox-ubuntu-themes were unable to configure because I had firefox still open. I ran dpkg --configure -a now so that is fixed, but the upgrader said it would stop at the end. All packages have been upgraded/installed correctly now, only the "cleaning up" hasn't been done I think. What does that do and can I do it manually? [10:31] arvind_khadri there was a kde file i could ahve downloaded but didn't, i'll try that and brb [10:31] jeanre: your apt mirror overloaded? [10:32] xorg is its name? [10:32] jeanre: why can't you upgrade? [10:32] ikonia, how to interpret this then: [10:32] # Mactel PPA [10:32] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mactel-support/ubuntu hardy main [10:32] ikonia, How would I do that, I mean nothing is listening on port 80 anyway [10:32] Sajuukkhar: xorg.0.log [10:32] IndyGunFreak: I have work to do [10:32] ikonia, I don't really see how I could connect [10:32] funny thing is, i saw that :\ [10:32] guja_nebeska: thats a source file for dpkg [10:32] Maxdamantus; really don't know why it fails with any-any too, I so need vmware-server running soon :p [10:32] why wont compiz work for another user when I leave a session opened ??? [10:32] jeanre: ahh :/ well, upgrade when you're done working, it'll fix the sound [10:32] ikonia, how to get it? [10:32] LordOfThePigs: thats how I was suggesting testing nothing was listening [10:32] because I've experienced that one firsthand ;) [10:32] Go to site and DL-it? [10:32] LordOfThePigs: telnet 127.0.0.1 (or ip) 80 [10:32] dagon_, try #vmware [10:33] guja_nebeska: put it into your /etc/apt/sourcs.list [10:33] Maxdamantus; I will, thanks ;) [10:33] How to return from busybox console to installation process? [10:33] ikonia, it says "connection refused" [10:33] test [10:33] Hi there, is it by intention that all files at /var/spool/cyrus and /var/lib/cyrus and /var/lib/cyrus are chowned root:root? [10:33] What command line tool will indicate the section to which a certain DEB program package belongs? [10:33] does anyone know what the new taskbar icon effects are listed under in compiz? (icon fly out, upon clicking) [10:33] bullgard4: apt-file ? [10:33] at a normal 8.04 installation [10:33] LordOfThePigs: seems pretty solid to assume nothing is running [10:34] I would like to encrypt a message to then be dissected by my page. I'd use MD5, but how would I deencrypt it? I just want to hide get variable before the user actually gets to the page [10:34] LordOfThePigs: if it's a java app, are you trying to use something like tomcat ? [10:34] Need help with WoW, wine and hardy heron .. pm me plx =) [10:34] ikonia, Glassfish actually [10:34] hello, please can you tell me where can I get help for this kind of substitutions in a script : http://pastebin.com/m7f3af274 [10:34] Mr-Nilsen: people will help in channel when they can [10:34] cyrus runns with user cyrus by default, so it's quite braindead to chown the sockets to be unreadable for this user. [10:34] try #winehq Mr-Nilsen [10:34] ty [10:34] hello,where can i find or what's the command for the Xorg.conf frontend... [10:34] I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 but i hung up at scanning the mirror, what to do? [10:34] tobmalf: md5 is a hash not a cipher [10:34] ikonia, So yeah, pretty much like tomcat [10:35] Right now my laptop is using English. How can I set up the ubuntu to enable another user to have Chinese interface? [10:35] LordOfThePigs: I'm not familier with glassfish, but this sort of issue used to be common with tomcat, in that apache listening on port 80, tomcat listened on an internal port (say 180) but was served up through apache, could it be something similar in that situation [10:35] hi, when i try to install ubuntu 7.10 after i choose “run or install” ubuntu for a sec my display is turn off, i am waiting because cd-rom is stil copy files but display never is turn on. I have motherboard with integrated graphics but i have in pciexpress grf 8800gt. By integrated graphics its works - i nstall ubuntu on itegrated graph and after i plug my gf, but its still turn off my display when i try to run ubuntu. Any idea how to repair [10:35] if in a torrent client it shows seeders 7(259) what does the figure within the bracket mean? [10:35] rockysynergy: check wiki.ubuntu.org.cn [10:35] LordOfThePigs: active ? [10:35] oops [10:35] Linus-Trovalds: active seeders [10:36] rockysynergy, system/administration/language support? [10:36] and the one outside,i.e. 7? [10:36] anybody can tell me what the "clean up" part of the distro upgrade to Hardy does? Just after all packages have been upgraded. [10:36] sigh [10:36] no, 7 is active 200+ exist [10:36] i was thinking the 259 was leechers [10:36] rocky: that way, he can change the language to chinese in the gdm login screen [10:36] rockysynergy: scim for input and language pack to switch interface [10:36] ikonia, as far as I can tell, there really is nothing on port 80 [10:36] SmokeyD: remove old config files, re-run ldoncif g etc etc [10:36] i hate this, i copy the log file to my memory stick, i put it in my windows machine and its not there [10:36] erUSUL: is generally used as a self-defense device. can do so as a compile time. you know there's a balance between outright starvation and oppression [10:37] LordOfThePigs: exactly, but does glasshouse start a container like apache (as in tomcat used to run within apache) [10:37] ikonia: but the new config files have already been applied during package upgrade right? [10:37] Sajuukkhar, make sure you properly unmount the mem stick before you remove it [10:37] LordOfThePigs: so the conflict is when started apache is in use [10:37] otherwise it'll do that :p [10:37] so just remove .dpk-old files [10:37] SmokeyD: the ond ones still exist, just general tidy up stuff [10:37] how do i do that? [10:37] SmokeyD: no, more than that as I said in my example [10:37] ikonia, no they don't start apache at all, its completely self contained [10:37] unmount (name of drive) ? [10:37] tobmalf: ??? i'm not sure i understand you [10:37] whats a good ftp program... i used flashfxp for windows is there anything like this for ubuntu? [10:37] LordOfThePigs: thats that theory out of the window [10:37] I can't get my screen resolution past 1024 x 768 - I want to get it to 1280 x 1024. how can I do this? [10:37] has anyone here tried the Flock browser? can you recommend it? having an issue with the font rendering in firefox 3 on hardy [10:37] ikonia: ok, is it a specific script I can read so as to see what has to be done? [10:38] Question, i'm getting an error 17 from grub. I just did a fresh install of windows then ubuntu on a separate drives. upon first boot, i get error 17 which is a cannot mount selected partition error Anyone know why? or what I can do about it? [10:38] SmokeyD: no, it's not [10:38] x-punk: isn't flock based off firefox [10:38] anyone...i don't find it [10:38] nikitis, do a re-install of grub [10:38] arvind_khadri: any guides on how to do that [10:38] theunixgeek: think it is, but seems to look better regarding the fonts [10:38] LordOfThePigs: as a suggestion, put a 1 second while look in "while true do "nestat -a | grep LIST | grep 80"; sleep 1 ; done [10:38] !grub | nikitis [10:38] nikitis: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [10:39] LordOfThePigs: then start it and see if something tries to start on it [10:39] ikonia, I have upgraded Gutsy to Hardy. But when I do nano /etc/apt/sources list, first line is this: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release amd64 (20071016)]/ gutsy main$ [10:39] Why is it still says Gutsy and not Hardy? [10:39] How to break installation process of Ubuntu? [10:39] ikonia: there is no way of tracing it? No config file, script, etc? It has to be executed somehow....... [10:39] For some reason I can't get my microphone to work... I can talk in it and I hear my voice in the speaker, but no software can recognize I'm using it... [10:39] WHere is the famous PulseAudio ?? I can't see it running ??? [10:39] guja_nebeska: remove the cd line [10:39] SmokeyD: check the dpkg.log [10:39] ok, cool [10:39] ikonia, already did that, nothing seems to ever bind to port 80 [10:39] Mr: ps ax | grep pulse [10:39] LordOfThePigs: now thats frustrating [10:39] arvind_khadri there was a kde file i could ahve downloaded but didn't, i'll try that and brb [10:40] ikonia, okay I'll, and how to add that dkpg to sources.list? Just copy-paste at the end of file and save it, or how? [10:40] tobmalf, ol [10:40] guja_nebeska: what do you mean? [10:40] tobmalf, s/ol/ok [10:40] guja_nebeska: read the topic: Hardy is OUT :) [10:40] erUSUL: see on some dns visionary research. up close to the law. polygamy is against the law to commit suicide, an old laptop [10:40] erUSUL: but where can I see it visually .... the volume controls for the apps ? [10:40] oh never mind :P [10:40] t [10:41] guja_nebeska: thats right [10:41] can anyone tell me how to upgrade from 7.10? my image is located on my HD, is there a way to do that without burning on a cd? [10:41] hey is this the right channel to ask for help installing ubuntu? [10:41] bug 215442 [10:41] guja_nebeska: that's because you upgraded, so synaptic still thinks your original cd is still a reasonable source [10:41] josh_: yes [10:41] ikonia, okay, let u know if I destroyed something. :) [10:41] does anyone know why my mic won't get recognized by any program? [10:41] sweet. [10:41] theunixgeek, but i add stuff to sources.list just by coping text to the EOF and saving it, right_ [10:41] anyone? [10:42] guja_nebeska: yes [10:42] what partitions do i need to create to install? [10:42] Mr: i do not have hardy but the name is pavucontrol pavumeter [10:42] Mr: and others [10:42] sounds like motorola/freescale [10:42] roffe__, check if ur headphone/speaker is working [10:42] josh_: any partitions [10:43] Linus-Trovalds: yeah, I can hear my voice in the speakers even, yet no software accepts the sounds [10:43] huh? i already have two windows partitions and one data partition. [10:43] Hi all [10:43] In dmesg it says i need to update driver sd and sr [10:43] so i would like to make it so that i have the kernal separate from my data [10:43] Moin! [10:43] ikonia, it seems linux applies some kind of special protection to ports below 1024 [10:43] josh_: why? [10:44] greetings all my good people! [10:44] ikonia, which means the user needs some specific permissions to access those private ports [10:44] theunixgeek_: so i can change the kernal without losing the data [10:44] the exact thing I was looking for, thanks [10:44] roffe__, in mixer, is mic mute? [10:44] Hi i do not like that the browser(Firefox 3 and opera) eat a lot of CPU(20-50%) even they are in background nad with just onle page open(no evident animation or other thing that can indicate the CPU usage). What is happening? can i setup the browser to eat less cpu (to sleep like other programs do)? [10:44] no [10:44] can anyone assist me with this small problem? how do i merge multiple PDF files into a single PDF file? what application should i use? [10:44] Linus-Trovalds: no [10:45] LordOfThePigs: I've not seen that [10:45] noob-africa: greetings [10:45] roffe__, was ur mic listed in the mixer?

[11:04] hi everyone! do you know what are the packages to install the mysql-server?? [11:04] how come sending files through amsn never works its so slow??

[11:06] 7.10 [11:06] josh_: no, you can't use the windows data partition [11:06] josh_: you need a sperate partition for uubntu [11:06] bonhoffer: contact your provider then, they have removed the admin group [11:07] how do i find the version -- i am looking at the kernal [11:07] kernel [11:07] 2.6.18 [11:07] bonhoffer: why did you say 7.10 then ? === SamSamSam is now known as JPSmon [11:07] anyone here have/know where to get the supposed ralink rt2870 2.6.24 patch?

[11:08] cool [11:08] josh_: bascilly, don't mix your OS's on one partition [11:08] ikonia: yes it is [11:08] can someone help me make a common folder between an ethernet connection? [11:09] but it is stripped down server version [11:09] bonhoffer: then why does it not have the admin group or lsb_release [11:09] JPSmon, so? who needs a hd? [11:09] does anyone else have a problem with screenlets not remembering your configuration, OR remembering an old configuration that you've attempted to change many times?

In 'dmesg' it says the driver sd and sr need updating, but all I can find on google is bug reports. cant find how to update the drivers [11:13] does anyone else have a problem with screenlets not remembering your configuration, OR remembering an old configuration that you've attempted to change many times? [11:13] or maybe its not reading/loading my fstab? [11:13] JPSmon : are you using the driver from ralink? [11:13] bonhoffer: if you installed this, why does it not have the lsb tools OR the admin group [11:13] ikonia: easier to back up. if all my data and programs are on a separate partition, i can just back that up because i don't mind reinstalling my OS's [11:13] panda: I'm trying to use every driver available to me :OD including ndiswrapper [11:14] ikonia: on the irc with their support -- they say i need to type getent group admin ?? [11:14] Ikonia u here? [11:14] josh_: store all your data on your windows parttiion then [11:14] bonhoffer: why ? [11:14] bonhoffer: did you install this yes/no [11:14] JPSmon: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=44133 talks of a kernel patch ... havent had any luck actually finding it [11:14] ikonia at the end of the thread, its called sajuuks log http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4788371#post4788371 [11:14] Sajuukkhar: thank you [11:14] i did install this via their admin interface [11:14] I have read every document, reiinstalled grub, and still NOTHING. i need help from an expert on this grub issue. [11:14] bonhoffer: right, so "no" then [11:15] so both yes and no [11:15] ikonia: why do you think i'm installing ubuntu? ok, so i store the data on the data(no os is on it) partition, but can i put my applications on it as well? [11:15] bonhoffer: it's a no [11:15] o.k. [11:15] panda: im looking into it [11:15] josh_: right then have 1 partition for ubuntu 1 partition for windows 1 partition for swap then one "shared" data partition for both windows and ubuntu "data" [11:15] what can I do if the upgrade process crashes at finish leaving uninstalled some packages and without cleanup? reinstall?

Computer is on but the monitor is totaly black. I am using Lenovo T61. Any tips on solution plz?

[11:16] o.k. i am asking them right now [11:16] i hate irc being so crowded [11:16] ok reformatting my comp [11:16] JPSmon: I have contacted Ralink and asked for it via email. Im in singapore and email the Thai support so they should reply soon. Ill let you know [11:17] ikonia: that's what i wanted. i know how big swap should be, but i still don't know how big to make the ubuntu partition, or how to tell ubuntu to install all programs and data on my data partition. [11:17] Q: Need a suggestion for a good, quick, easy program to crop an image/section out of a .pdf file and make a gif/jpg/png out of it. [11:17] thanks [11:17] currently running 7.10 but that shouldnt matter [11:17] josh_: the partiton sizes are up to YOU. I dont know how big you want your ubuntu install to be, or how your going to use it. The minimum I'd recommend is 4GB, but you should give as much as you feel you can to allow growth [11:17] switchcat: screen shot [11:18] I have read every document, reiinstalled grub, and still NOTHING. i need help from an expert on this grub issue. [11:18] but if you're storing stuff like anniversary dates, timestamps are a mess [11:18] iknoia: what growth? all programs and data should be installing to the data partition?

[11:19] JPSmon: i'm trying to dual boot ubuntu and windows. I installed windows on drive 1, then I installed ubuntu on drive two. Upon first reboot after ubuntu installs. I'm getting a GRUB error 17. [11:19] How can I get opaque window resizing? When I resize a window I get a horrible blue transparent rectangle instead of the window contents. [11:19] josh_: applications are split out across many directorys and mount points, for example apache web server, that is has the binaires (application) installed in /usr/bin, the config files are held in /etc, the log files are held in /var, to follow what you want, you'd have to have seperate partitions for /usr /var and /etc (you can't have a parttiion for /etC) [11:20] menu.lst looks correct to me [11:20] josh_: it's not like windows where everything is stored in program files [11:21] ikonia: so there's no way i can have my programs on a separate partition from ubuntu(the OS)? i can't the home directory on the data partiton along with everything else but the OS? [11:21] Hello. I'm trying to upgrade right now, and it asks me what I want to do about menu.lst. Thing is, I don't know what I want to do :P [11:21] ikonia: **so there's no way i can have my programs on a separate partition from ubuntu(the OS)? i can't keep the home directory on the data partition along with everything else but the OS? [11:22] josh_: the os is an 11meg file [11:22] I get black screen during the boot from 8.04 CD. This happens after the ubuntu logo disappear. Any tips? [11:22] josh_: its hard to seperate the 11meg file away from all the applications that make up "linux" as you think of it [11:22] ok one question that has been bugging me for years almost ......... If I have a game or something that I want to share with everyone ... where, in which folder in the filesystem can I put it so it is accessible to everyone ??? [11:22] josh_: I don't see why you would want to separate the OS from the programs [11:22] ikonia: so you're saying that my programs have to be on the same partition as the OS? [11:22] Mr: anywhere you want, just share out the folder [11:22] josh_: no [11:23] josh_: your not listening [11:23] Does anybody know of any firefox extensions or something I can do to allow firefox to view PDFs.... other than Adobe as I'd rather use opensource software if at all possible [11:23] * NibiruET is away: ....... Be back later folks...bye! [11:23] josh_: the OS "linux" is an 11meg kernel [11:23] ikonia: just change permissions ? [11:23] Mr: depends how you want to share it [11:23] josh_: what your talking about is all the tools around it [11:23] Zasch, menu.lst is part of your grub i believe i told it to replace mine [11:23] josh_: As far as Ubunto goes the programs and the "OS" are parts of the same thing, you use the same tools to maintain and install them, etc. [11:24] hello,i've a problem with nvidia-drivers.../var/log/Xorg.0.log says: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) i previously had envy...but mabe my card is supported by ubuntu now so i want to get rid of it...what should i do?

Also is there a place that is supposed for this type of folders inside / ? === Jarwo is now known as goes [11:24] ikonia: ok, if ubuntu is not part of the OS, can i keep the ubuntu tools(not programs like firefox) and linux on a separate partition and all my programs on another?

[11:28] weird... im stuck... might have to copy a backup and do a frsh install... [11:29] josh_: forget it, think of ubuntu as "linux" and you need it all on one partition [11:29] ikonia: so you're saying that the desktop is almost like an application in windows? that it's separate from the OS? <- yes, it can be replaced or removed altogether, though it, it itself is not a single application but a multitude of applications [11:29] JPSmon: yeah [11:29] ikonia: Linux is a kernel. It is responsible for the core jobs, such as interfacing with hardware and managing which applications have access to the CPU. This is what all operating systems do. Ubuntu is a package of software/applications/binaries that run on the linux kernel. GNOME is the GUI (graphical user interface) much like windows uses Explorer.

[11:30] Boredom_inc: not a problem [11:30] thanks [11:31] what is ubuntu's nick and password for the live cd? [11:31] scott@faithtop:~$ sudo [11:31] sudo: unable to resolve host faithtop [11:31] xircon need to work on their irc client a bit :) [11:31] sCOTTo: put an entry in your hostfile [11:31] I'm using the pidgin IRC client which isn't my normal client and it's a bit confusing as to who is actually saying what. [11:31] sCOTTo: did you try sudo -i ? [11:31] ikonia: cant - i cant get root access??? [11:31] Is this a hardy channel now ? [11:31] sCOTTo: pastebin /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [11:31] yes same thing JPSmon [11:31] timo yes [11:31] icqnumber: ubuntu wont ask login and pass for livdcd [11:31] then helpppppp [11:31] sCOTTo: you'll have to do it from a recovery shell [11:31] Oprtz, it does [11:32] hostname: faithtop [11:32] timo we try what's up? [11:32] jrib: I'm putting a bug togheter on this, it's quite common now as it resolves agaisnt hostname rather than localhost, so any dhcp clients are not going to have hostname setup correctly [11:32] ifireball: i have my windows set up so that all my windows programs and data are on a separate partition(that i back up about twice a week). i was hoping i could put all my linux data and applications on it as well [11:32] jrib: it doesnt have faithtop in hosts. [11:32] ikonia: it seems then that placing them in /opt would be a good idea .. heh [11:32] I can only get the fial safe session to work and it looks min-gin [11:32] sCOTTo: use the pastebin... [11:32] icqnumber: i m sorry i dont know then [11:32] Mr: go for it [11:32] ikonia: how do i do that ? [11:32] jrib: sorry ok [11:32] how to click on play button / select scene button of any DVD movie under totem player, i cant click on it ? [11:33] any idea ppl? [11:33] timo: failsage session? [11:33] ikonia: is this the same as the gethostbyname() error? [11:33] deos ubuntu dvd contain all the main ubuntu repositories? [11:33] hehehe fail sage [11:33] Linus-Trovalds: yes [11:33] umm, can anyone recommend an irc client? I've been using mIRC for 8 years, I do not like the layout of x-chat and even if I like irssi in a certain way, I hate it for not having a clickable nicklist [11:33] josh_: unlearn what you've learned about windows when using linux :) [11:33] Oprtz, it was not the case in 6.10 [11:33] JPSmon failsafe gnome [11:33] jrib: I don't know, it appears that sudo is attemping to resolve on gethostbyname() [11:33] Tech_: irssi [11:33] josh_: You can do that if you want. It will work but it's no advisable... It's probably a better idea to put your home directory on the partition that you backup. The home directory contains things like the linux equivalent of My Documents. [11:33] josh_: there is little reason to back up the Linux applications since they can be easily reinstalled with the package manager anyway, WRT to the data, just back up your home directory [11:33] jrib: I'm not sure if its the same actual bug as the general failure [11:33] timo dont know about the failsafe gnome [11:33] with plugins for nicklist [11:34] jrib, can u pls mention which all types are available? universe, multiverse etc? [11:34] Linus-Trovalds: main [11:34] makkbe, I know there's a nicklist plugin, but it doesn't make it clickable [11:34] ok [11:34] maybe not... been a while since i tried it [11:34] good morning [11:34] makkbe: so there isn't a spoon? [11:34] what is ubuntu's nick and password for the live cd? [11:34] anyone know how to set up a common folder between ethernet? [11:34] josh_: exactly [11:34] jrib: JPSmon: ikonia: http://pastebin.com/d3ebb5fd8 [11:34] between hardy and gutsy? [11:35] JPSmon: Hey that link doesn't help me. My linux type is 83 [11:35] makkbe, aye, it runs in a terminal window so it doesn't have any right-click functionality, that's why I asked for advice :D [11:35] ikonia: how do i get a recovery shell ? [11:35] yeah... :) [11:35] sCOTTo: your hostname has a space in it? [11:35] 8.04 is awesome... did 8 installations today. Two Wubi installations *hung* once each [11:35] what about bitch-x? [11:35] Need an expert on grub. [11:35] how do I diagnose the problem? [11:35] JPSmon: its on the sessions gdm screen you can choose KDE from there (if you have it installed). [11:35] each time I start my new Hardy now, I have to run a modprobe wlan0 to get it to start the wifi - it works fine, but anyone know how I can get this command to run as root on startup? [11:35] makkbe, I'll consider the different options, might as well do a google search right away [11:35] jrib: no - and i DIDNT put it there either! but the prob is that I Cant get root :) [11:36] inditech: put the module in /etc/modules [11:36] josh_: You can make a folder on your partition that you backup... call it home... you can mount this as the linux default home directory... home is like Windows 'Documents and Settings' [11:36] sCOTTo: are you sure? That's how it is in the pastebin [11:36] makkbe: simple - thanks, sorry for n00b question! [11:36] jrib: ALOT HAS CHANGED SINCE MY UPDATE :( [11:36] Need an expert on GRUB. Broken system. no sleep. Question too complex. need someone to work with. [11:36] other than that - loving it, working great :) [11:36] hi, i am trying to make firefox 3 to use les cpu by disabling some plugins that i do not use. i left the shockwaveflash enabled but the flash video are not working [11:36] inditech: no worries [11:36] I AM TRYING UBUBUNTU AS A LIVE CD, NOW I NEED TO ENTER USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO LOG IN, any idea? [11:36] no [11:37] icqnumber: CAPS [11:37] sCOTTo: okay, but are you sure there is no space in your /etc/hostname file? [11:37] icqnumber: try ubuntu/ubuntu? [11:37] user name is ubuntu afaik [11:37] jrib: i KNOW THERE IS - but I cant change it :( [11:37] sCOTTo: you used them yourself [11:37] makkbe, wrong guess! [11:37] ifireball: ok, so how much space can a linux partition require? and is the package manager in my home directory, so that if my home directory is on the data partition it will be backed up? [11:37] icqnumber: then i do not know [11:37] icqnumber: check that it burned correctly. verify the integrity of the cd (one of the options at the beginning) [11:37] Need an expert on GRUB. i've asked for help all night. Broken system. no sleep. Question too complex. need someone to work with. [11:37] Myrtti: to illustrate :) === cwraigisalreadyl is now known as cwraig [11:37] Gust upgraded to hardy over night now my session wont load. I can log on but i just see a brown background with mouse. [11:38] Boredom_inc: what else goes in my home directory other than documents?\ [11:38] jrib, burned correctly, md5sum is okey! [11:38] how do mount an image? mount command said it is a nonblock device. [11:38] hello is a a geforce 8600M GT supported by ubuntu or do i need envy(i want the proprietary driver) [11:38] Hardy installer problem: I'm trying to install Hardy using the Live CD installer however when I get to the partition step the list contains nothing and all the buttons are disabled. Anyone know what it's trying to do? [11:38] hardy of course... [11:38] * sCOTTo has a login screen that is coming up too big to see the fields... guessing to typpe username and pass worked... [11:38] sCOTTo: ok, there's no need for caps :) just reboot, choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu and then use nano to edit /etc/hostname to remove the space and also edit /etc/hosts and add "faithtop" to the line with localhost [11:39] Need an expert on GRUB. i've asked for help all night. Broken system. no sleep. Question too complex. need someone to work with. [11:39] jrib: thanks [11:39] timo, have you root access [11:39] nikitis: we hide the grub experts in #grub [11:39] see yah soon :) [11:39] nikitis: join #grub then if you need an expert [11:39] nikitis : whats teh problem? [11:39] jrib, i got it from fu-berlin mirror? does it makes a difference? [11:39] josh_: Things like settings, for programs and such [11:39] arvind_khadri: yes [11:39] josh_: Or do you mean the specific directories [11:39] josh_: for a home machine I think a 5GB partition for the OS/Applications would suffice and you should place /home on your data partition and make it as big as possible (so you can have a lot of room for your data) [11:39] arvind_khadri: i log on as normal use thou [11:40] user* [11:40] what does it mean when the there is "UNCALIMED" next to network when u tyoe lshw -c network? [11:40] timo, ok then open the terminal and type sudo users-admin [11:40] arvind_khadri: again, its gksudo for X11 apps [11:40] jrib, u do not have a clue, right? [11:40] arvind_khadri: not "sudo" [11:40] josh_: since your home directory also contains all your personal settings, backing it enough is enough to get back a fully working system after a reinstall and a restore [11:40] Boredom_inc: so all my program data(preferences, documents(if i'm using a word eqivalent), etc) will automagically go into my home directory? [11:41] ikonia, ok sorry a BIG MISTAKE,what do you want me to do [11:41] arvind_khadri: think about what your saying to people [11:41] arvind_khadri: as I keep asking you [11:41] icqnumber: nope, it's not suppose to do that. Make sure you verified it using the option you are given when you boot the cd [11:41] josh_: answering your question to Boredom_inc, yes. [11:41] josh_: Yeah and you would put downloads and music etc. in there also [11:41] arvind_khadri http://pastebin.com/m3e44abec [11:41] timo, am sorry please type gksudo users-admin [11:42] ikonia, i am asked for username and password, during triying it as live cd?, any idea?, md5sum and cd are burned ok [11:42] ikonia, ok [11:42] http://pastebin.com/m5b4cdd0f [11:43] icqnumber: when are you asked for a username and password [11:43] m [11:43] ifireball and Boredom_inc: ok thanks. so, if i have a shitload of windows programs that's about 50GB, how much space do i need for the same shitload of linux programs(assuming all the programs have a linux and windows version)? [11:43] ikonia, directly after kernel is loaded [11:43] Hey #Ubuntu. I'm installing right now and so am lurking. [11:43] josh_: watch your langauge [11:44] hi. [11:44] has any body help me find a driver for dial-up modem on vaio fe laptops? i've tested scan modem tool and many other things without any result === Dazzer is now known as Stred [11:44] icqnumber: what do you mean ? do you get the gnome desktop [11:44] ikonia; huh? [11:44] josh_: bad language is not called for [11:44] stop swearing [11:44] sorry. [11:44] josh_: I can't possibly think what 50GB of programs will be good for, windows programs are a mess [11:44] good day every1 [11:45] i'm about to start swearing. i've been up for 24 hours straight trying to figure out this grub issue [11:45] josh_: If your used to backing up a partition all the time I recommend making a partition that is just your home directory... you then mount this folder in ubuntu and it is accessed a bit like a folder.... its at the location /home .... If you create a partition I can tell you how to make the partition mount at /home every time ubuntu boots up [11:45] I have a back up should i restore. Seems the upgrade was not successful. [11:45] ikonia, after i select 'try ubuntu without any change to your computer', the first screen appear, is a log in screen! [11:45] ifireball: i don;t actually have that much. i just have no idea how much space linux programs take compared to windows. [11:45] icqnumber: and thats the gnome login screen ? [11:45] josh_: this depends absolutly on the program [11:46] josh_: like I said, 5GB should be enough, as long as you make a separate /home partition [11:46] ikonia, i do not know how does it look like, i have no ubuntu installed [11:46] arf [11:46] icqnumber: can you take a screen shot ? [11:46] ikonia, pink colours [11:46] with two crap compies, can i increase performance with a two node cluster? or is it not really practical? [11:47] Boredom_inc: i kind of know how the directory structure; my school uses solaris. i just have no experience as an admin [11:47] not a good idea the Firefox 3 in hardy [11:47] josh_: generally much less space ... [11:47] Getting GRUB error 17, Grub bootloader is on /dev/sda as well as my windows partition. /dev/sdb is where menu.lst is located and my /boot and linux partitions. Any ideas why? [11:47] josh_: You will probably find that you don't need as many programs on linux as windows. Linux programmers are quite adept at sharing libraries (in windows these are dll folders) so one program uses the features of many libraries. Pidgin is a good example (mind you it only uses a few libraries) but it works as a AIM, IRC, MSN, Yahoo (and more) client [11:47] panda: thanks; that's what i was looking for. [11:47] slaytanic you run compiz? [11:47] josh_, I have a fresh install of ubuntu. with Office suite, and programming environment, browser email, the usual. That uses up approximately 4GB [11:47] dll files* [11:48] nikitis, menu.lst is /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:48] ecksicle: would a power user need more? [11:48] Hey all, somehow the third mouse button (pressing first and second mb) does not work on my synaptics touchpad anymore,... any ideas ??? [11:48] arvind_khadri: yes it's on the 2nd drive sdb [11:48] josh_, I am a power user. [11:48] but my grub boot loader is on sda which I think is supposed to point to sdb [11:48] anyone know how to recover from this error while upgrading to Hardy? http://pastebin.com/m77e504b2 [11:48] nikitis, did you try re-installing the grub [11:48] josh_: my current root partition (where the OS and all the programs are) currently has 2.2GB used and 3GB free after years of using the system, so 5GB should be enough [11:49] arvind_khadri: i typed grub-install /dev/sda It said it reinstalled but i still get the same error [11:49] Ubuntu2008: if I'm not mistaken, I saw something like that when I upgraded [11:49] but it didn't stop the upgrade process [11:49] josh_: and I am a power user, I've stuff such as Apache and MySql installed the most users wouldn't need [11:49] Hello... Ubuntu newbie Q1: I'm running a Live CD on an XP system. Ubuntu is not recognizing my dual monitors (Nvidia FX5200), only one. Could there be an easy fix or would I have to install Ubuntu first before trying to install new video drivers? Thanks! [11:49] eckesicle: sorry. ok, so i really only need about 5GB of space. [11:49] wild_oscar: my computer has been hanging on that message for half an hour [11:50] stred: yeah, you would probably have to install [11:50] nikitis, you need to follow some steps before that [11:50] arvind_khadri: such as? [11:50] josh_, I am a power user. Games will naturally take up more space [11:50] Dues Ubuntu 8.04 server have some firewall enabled that doesn't allow IP's beyond the local subnet connect? I've estup Ubuntu 8.04 server with apache and SSH, and even though I can hit them from other computers on the local network, I'm unable to hit it from the Internet, even though that system is setup as DMZ in router and GRC.com's Shields Up does show ports 80 and 22 open. [11:50] thank you immesys [11:50] just curious ... [11:50] ifireball: i feel like i should send microsfot my bill for the giant harddrvie i needed to buy [11:50] Ubuntu2008: if u know where the upgrade log is, I can check if the message was the same [11:50] josh_, sorry for repeat. [11:50] Third mouse button on tocupad, pressing first and second does not work anymore,... any ideas ??? [11:50] nikitis, loacating where it is...check out this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [11:50] stred: unless you remaster a live cd. This is not an easy task though [11:51] then on the other hand i keep 500GB of media. So linux will not decompress that for you :) [11:51] ecksicle: ok, is there a way to keeo linux separate from ubuntu so i can try installing other linux flavors? [11:51] arvind_khadri: I cannot do that. When i type grub in the commandline after "SU" it comes back with a terminal error [11:51] immesys not likely to remaster a CD, thanks :) [11:51] so you might want to keep your harddrive [11:51] josh_ what do you mean? [11:51] can i have some guidance please http://pastebin.com/m3d047985 [11:51] nikitis, its sudo [11:51] josh_: maybe... but they're not the only one to blame, I find the windows programmers tend to be inefficient space-wise for various reasons (like not sharing components for example) [11:52] You can have different flavours on different partitions if you like, or virtualise. [11:52] ifireball: joke [11:52] Ubuntu2008: found the log. it's the same message [11:52] arvind_khadri: that's assuming I can get into a linux session correct? [11:52] wild_oscar: d/w I fixed it. Seems like it's a known bug with gnome [11:52] how do i remove a file extension,say .url from all files in a directory? [11:52] josh_: for your last question, that's just asking for trouble, and make little sense [11:52] timo: replacing with package maintainers version is usually okay [11:52] Ubuntu2008: but my upgrade continued [11:52] nikitis, be on a live ubuntu cd and do this [11:52] ikonia, not way to make a screen shot, tty1 says: "user not known to the underlying authentication module"! [11:52] Ubuntu2008: it continued as well? [11:52] thanks [11:52] anyone use no-script with firefox? i have a problem [11:52] banshe: one way is to use the 'rename' command (see its man page for examples) [11:52] Hi guys [11:52] wild_oscar: after quite a while it did [11:52] ifireball: so what should i do if i want to have two separate linux distros? [11:52] banshe, use rename [11:53] ok [11:53] why I try to use sudo to install a package I get that "timestamp too far in the future:..." [11:53] Ubuntu comes with (by default) all most everything you need... CD/DVD burning software, bittorrent client, music player, office software, web browser, messenger client, PDF viewer, image manipulation software... The only software people really install (other than changing the default programs) is Programming environments and games... Games take up a huge amount of space obviously so you need to leave room on the ubuntu (not home) partition for games and c [11:53] icqnumber: I can't explain that [11:53] Question #1: Once my install finishes on my laptop and I have rebooted, I want to install an IRC client before I do anything else. I've only ever used mIRC on Windows and would like something similar. Any suggestions? [11:53] josh_: just install them on separate partitions, you can sometimes share the home partition, but it may not work all that well [11:53] Glas [11:53] Glas`Awyr, xchat [11:53] Boredom_inc: what games? [11:53] I'm using IRC on pidgin [11:53] Glas`Awyr: pidgin [11:53] howdy [11:54] HOWDY [11:54] ifireball: ok, thanks. [11:54] <[T]-Rex> check out irssi [11:54] Glas`Awyr: pidgin works with irc, msn, gtalk, yahoo, etc [11:54] this massage appears, 1o times, after "loading, please wait", can not even use tty1 [11:54] josh_: What do you mean by 'what games?' [11:54] nikitis, ?? [11:54] I tried pidgin while using running from the Live CD and hated it. I'll take a look AT xChat. [11:54] Glas`Awyr: although, if u're used to msn, I strongly suggest amsn for that [11:54] boredom_inc: what games can you(do you) play on linux? or are you just using Wine? and how much space do you need? [11:55] josh_, same space as windows game [11:55] Hey guy, I'm in a position so tight I might aswell be on 4chan [11:55] n/m, stupid Linksys router had some firewall enabled by default. [11:56] <_Rambaldi_> josh_, nexuiz, openarena, are the ones i play (both like Unreal) [11:56] hello everyone, i am havin a proble with my just upgraded ubuntu system, it doesn't seem to recognize my headphones [11:56] lclimber [11:56] Help! Im looking at a screen that is about 20 times bigger than it is supposed to be. [11:56] * arvind_khadri nexuiz is really awesome [11:56] _rambaldi: how much space do they take up? [11:56] can someone tell me how to use rename? I am unable to understand the manpage [11:56] ikonia, this massage appears 1o times, after "loading, please wait", can not even use tty1, i have another distro installed on this box, does it makes a sence, actually not, well then the official mirror i got it from? [11:56] josh_, other than that, most games that are OpenGL based are Linux compatible (UT comes to mind, Quake, etc) Wine allows you to run Windows based games, by wrapping the API it needs. It's been a long time ever since I used wine, but support wasn't that bad [11:56] hey [11:56] josh_: I don't play games really but there are a surprisingly large amount of linux games. Not all that many AAA titles but there are a lot of native games that are very good. Otherwise you can just use Wine and run the games straight off your windows partition [11:56] im just upgrading [11:56] I have a problem; I'm running off my live CD, transfering my backups to a 1GB flash drive and I need to burn a CD. What should I do? [11:57] <_Rambaldi_> i never really checked josh_ the package was about 240mb [11:57] Jookia, once you're booted, you should be able to eject the CD [11:57] boredom_inc: so would i need more than 5GB if i wanted to install a bunch of games? [11:57] anyone tried hildon on hardy? [11:57] <[^martin]> Hi all, I've just got my Ubuntu install up and running and have connected succesfully to my wireless network. I am having trouble connecting to specific endpoints that other machines on the network are not. For example, www.mozilla.org works. www.google.com does not. How would I go about troubleshooting this? [11:57] Martin [11:57] Goto about:config [11:57] And find IPv6 [11:57] In the search bar [11:58] martin: try turning off ipv6 [11:58] And set that to true [11:58] <[^martin]> ah [11:58] Jookia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:58] josh_, yeah, definitely [11:58] <[^martin]> ok, 2 secs === icesword is now known as mademelaugh [11:58] any reccomend what to install ubuntu or kubuntu? [11:58] Ubuntu is best [11:58] But if you come from windows [11:58] dreamcoder: you can install kde on ubuntu [11:58] Get Kubuntu [11:58] Gnome Menu icons are blank for newly installed GTK+ applications (installed via aptitude on 8.04) -- anyone know what the issue is here? [11:58] dreamcoder, depends on what you like most, if you prefer KDE or Gnome [11:58] Or if you come from Mac [11:58] crashanddie: how much would you recommend? [11:58] it is dependent on ur taste [11:58] Use Ubuntu [11:58] <_Rambaldi_> what happened to ubuntu-bots [11:58] dreamcoder: kubuntu looks nicer but I'm having grief installing it, so use ubuntu rather [11:58] guys the wireless driver exists but wireless doesnt work please help [11:59] Amerio [11:59] josh_: I recommend allocating about 4 GB (ubuntu) + 5 GB (or less for games)... Because by the sounds of it you intend to play windows games and I assume they are already installed on your windows partition, you don't need to reinstall them on linux [11:59] My friend had this problem [11:59] ubuntu should be used even if you want kde since kubuntu is dependency hell [11:59] Disable IPv6 [11:59] can someone tell me how to use rename? I am unable to understand the manpage [11:59] hello everyone, i am havin a proble with my just upgraded ubuntu system, it doesn't seem to recognize my headphones [11:59] josh_, I don't know, depends on the games you want to play... Take about 10Gig for WoW, 12Gig for a normal CS/HL2/CS:S install [11:59] josh_: Mind you not all of them will run [11:59] Jookia how to disable IPV6? [11:59] ok will try ubuntu thanks [11:59] tiramisu: I thought kubuntu was just ubuntu+kde_desktop ? [11:59] I'm not sure how globaly. [11:59] But there's a firefox config [12:00] osfameron, it basicly is, but some applications are different [12:00] lclimber, thats y u should not use upgrade. [12:00] tiramisu, please don't spawn ideas like that, thank you [12:00] boredom_inc: they aren't installed yet; is there a way to install the games on a separate hard drive from ubuntu? [12:00] Yes [12:00] josh_, of course, mount that drive to your filesystem, and install them there [12:00] Oh em gee. The package servers seem uber-bogged down. T_T [12:00] amerio, do you know the make of your wi-fi card? [12:00] crashanddie: shouldn't those games be installed to some other partition, say /usr/local or /opt ? [12:00] Tehgeek: That's cause of 8.04 upgrades. [12:00] lclimber: What type of headphones? USB or standard headphone jack? [12:00] josh_, you might need to setup a new wine_C_drive, and set it to that given mount point [12:01] Jookia, Yeah, I figured. Still is a bummer. =X [12:01] arvind_khadri: sorry, i'm trying it now [12:01] amerio, Jookia, you can always blacklist kernel module ipv6 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [12:01] SALVE A TUTTI ------------------------------ [12:01] <[^martin]> Jookia: disabled that IPV6 in Firefox, still no luck. It gets to "Waiting for host..." and just hangs there. Definitely a firefox issue though - just tried telnetting to the host [12:01] nikitis, thats ok [12:01] Boredom_inc standard [12:01] crashanddie: no idea what that meant, but that's ok, i just wanted to know if it was possible. [12:01] Ubuntu2008 Atheros AR242x [12:01] HI TO ALL ----------------------- [12:01] Is there any ubuntu distro that is minimalist? Just kernel + basic commands, not including any GUI, just basic drivers? Like an 'apt-get' version... that anything extra than the most needed stuff must be downloaded... [12:01] Where would I go about finding my firefox bookmarks file? [12:01] lclimber: So it's not using the correct sound card then [12:01] lol hi ele_Acaro [12:01] josh_, if you're going to install wine based games, Wine is going to create a virtual Windows drive (filesystem), just save that virtual drive on the other hard disk, so you can use that space [12:02] NekoKun, Gentoo Linux? :P [12:02] NekoKun: the server version is pretty basic [12:02] if you want ubuntu [12:02] Ubuntu2008 and its enabled and in Use [12:02] otoh, debian netinstall is even more basic [12:02] NekoKun, that would be gobuntu [12:02] makkbe: How many gbs it needs to install? [12:02] NekoKun, you could also try Arch Linux [12:02] I dont see any differences really in 8.04 [12:02] NekoKun: under 600 mb [12:02] I FORGOTTEN THAT HERE IT'S USED ONLY ENGLISH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [12:02] crashanddie: ok, so does a swap file of 5GB(i have 4 gb ram) and a Ubuntu partition of 5GB sound reasonable? [12:03] Well, so far Debian EeeOS is the best option... mmm < 600mb [12:03] but yeah, I'd recommend the netinstall of Debian as makkbe said [12:03] ele_Acaro: stop with the caps [12:03] josh_: why don't you go ahead and install? I think you'd have a fairly good grasp of the answers to all your questions within a month... and if you get it wrong the 1st time, just go ahead and reinstall, its fairly painless [12:03] ele_Acaro, don't use caps, it's considered yelling [12:03] In 7.10, when I clicked on things in the system tray, it would switch to whatever workspace the corresponding window was on... it doesn't seem to do that anymore. How do I make it so that it does? [12:03] excuse me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [12:03] lclimber: Type "cat /proc/asound/modules" in terminal and check to see your soundcard (that the headphones are plugged in) is listed [12:03] What's the main difference between debian and ubuntu? [12:03] ele_Acaro: and the exclamation marks as well, please [12:03] josh_, I'd say 5Gb is a bit minimalistic, to be honest, I'd shrink the swap to 2 gig, and give the 3 extra gig to your root [12:03] josh_: at 4GB ram your should have about 4GB swap [12:03] ele_Acaro; abuse of ! is also considered rude [12:03] NekoKun: ubuntu is a customized debian [12:04] NekoKun: honestly? Sexiness. [12:04] really [12:04] one can say [12:04] !swap [12:04] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [12:04] Boredom_inc it says 0 snd_hda_intel [12:04] Boredom_inc that's it [12:04] NekoKun: debian generally use older packages in their stable versions [12:04] ifireball: about? [12:04] mademelaugh, I wouldn't use 4gig swap on any desktop computer that has 4Gig of ram... He'll never use it :/ [12:04] makkbe: So, in a way I could say that doing the correct patches/kernel I could get a debian install and turn it into a ubuntu? [12:04] am i bad for you ? [12:05] Ubuntu2008 ? [12:05] In 7.10, when I clicked on things in the system tray, it would switch to whatever workspace the corresponding window was on... it doesn't seem to do that anymore. How do I make it so that it does? [12:05] Ok... I hate old things :p [12:05] how do i remove a file extension,say .url from all files in a directory? [12:05] NekoKun, you can always try Debian sid [12:05] NekoKun: if you use one of the newer debian branches, yes [12:05] crashanddie, yep, wise choice [12:05] sid or lenny [12:05] josh_: partition sizes, what installs where, games, etc. [12:05] lclimber: go to System -> Preferences -> Sound and press test for something other than capture... you should hear a beeping noise (you may have already tried this) [12:05] lenny is probably recommended [12:05] sid is really unstable from time to time [12:05] what [12:05] isn't here ubuntu [12:06] How would I go about accessing my /home/jookia/.Trash folder ON ANOTHER HARDDRIVE [12:06] lclimber: Let me know if you heard anything [12:06] Jookia, where did you mount it ? [12:06] ifireball: i heard a swap file 1.15 times the size of your RAM was a good amount; is that too much? if it's just virtual memory, does it ever need to be a bigger size than my RAM? [12:06] disk-1 [12:06] i would like learn more from you but i like much not be a problem for you ! [12:06] Jookia, that's not a valid mount point [12:06] obnibolongo so disabling VP6 would make my wireless work? [12:06] Jookia, a mount point is something like /media/disk1, or /mnt/mydisk [12:06] ifireball: this is installing on my laptop, btw [12:06] NekoKun: you can say that about any Linux distro, doesn't make sense time-wise to do stuff that way though [12:06] I'm asking that cause I have an EeePC, and want something like eeeXUbuntu... but IMHO it has too much garbage installed.... [12:06] ele_Acaro: just ask whatever you want to know then [12:06] is ubuntu supposed to be slower than windowsxp ? [12:07] if you boot ubuntu with low graphics, eg xdriver not installed correctly, ubuntu starts with 800x600 - in that resolution, the update-manager and many other programs are using more than 600px in height, but they cant be resized making it impossible for the user to klick the ok or next button... [12:07] ikonia, i would like you to read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#head-ca3b215130839e9b2e1c85af31620153daba975c [12:07] /media/disk-1 [12:07] NekoKun: do you want a gui? [12:07] Kirby: are you a troll or are you honest? [12:07] Kirby, not really, you cannot compare mem management with xp [12:07] makkbe: I plan to instal xfce later, but I don't want kde/gnome uneeded files around [12:07] ok [12:07] josh_: If you have lots of RAM your swap file will rarely be used but as a general rule a swap file roughly the size of your ram is good [12:07] Boredom_inc yes, i have sound, the proble is that it dosen't redirect the sound to my headphones when i plug them [12:07] amerio, I don't know, I though you'd asked how to disable IPv6, I told you how, I didn't know what was leading to it, sorry [12:07] well my ubuntu is certainly slower than windowsxp [12:07] Kirby, when refer to linux, it cannot be very fast, but it is stable, it just works [12:07] Kirby: yes and no. some things are much faster and some things you'd think to be slower [12:07] josh_, 4Gigs of RAM is quite an enormous amount, I doubt you'll ever need all of it. I seriously doubt you'll ever need more than 4Gig, your swap would probably never be used [12:07] then i suggest a debian lenny or arch [12:08] NekoKun: I am coming into the middle of this conversation, but if you don't want gnome/kde, why not just use xubuntu? [12:08] hi [12:08] Boredom_inc: thanks [12:08] josh_, you need swap "to be safe", but 2gigs of swap is by far enough with the enormous quantity of RAM you have access to [12:08] my wireless driver is enabled and in use but no wireless , do u have ny idea about that? [12:08] josh_: the rule of thumb is that up to 2GB swap = ram*2; beyond 2GB its swap=ram; and beyond 4GB it doesn't mater... too much swap can cause trashing, though I doubt the swap will even get used on a 4GB desktop machine [12:08] Boredom_inc, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#head-ca3b215130839e9b2e1c85af31620153daba975c [12:08] neeto; or fluxbuntu ;) [12:08] hi everyone , what do i need to install to get my fn keys to work on my laptop [12:08] neeto: I've installed it and found good sized KDE and gnome folders on it [12:08] also, it uses a LOT of space [12:08] Kirby, ubuntu can be seen as slower than winxp, as winxp si slower than dos... you have to compare the features too... [12:08] crashanddie: what about when i hibernate/sleep? (i'm on a laptop that i use for school) [12:08] tyranos, You need to hit the fn-lock key maybe? [12:08] :P [12:09] coz you know, harddisk 's speed cannot compare with memrory [12:09] * arvind_khadri screams its mentioned it the official forums too that have twice the size of your ram as swap [12:09] hi [12:09] NekoKun: well to run most apps you need some gtk/kde stuff, like any python programs or amarok, which is kde... [12:09] what can i do when only one of speakers works and another one isnt? [12:09] I am talking about GUI, gui in ubuntu is slower than in windows xp- browsing files, opening jpgs, text... [12:09] josh_, swap isn't used at that point [12:09] i just instaled hardy [12:09] dagon_: flux is icky [12:09] /media/disk-1/home/jookia/.Trash = permission denied. [12:09] my hard drive has been going nonstop since i installed it [12:09] amerio, well, which wireless card do you have? [12:09] case_: what features??? [12:09] ifireball: thanks. [12:09] neeto; can't be worse than xfce [12:09] Jookia, sudo [12:09] Jookia, because you mounted it and don't have write perms on the mount point [12:09] how do I sudo thefile browser? [12:09] Atheros AR242x [12:09] dagon_: that's where you're wrong good sir. [12:09] dagon_: Why 'worse than xfce'? [12:10] Jookia; sudo nautilus [12:10] amerio, ouch... [12:10] lclimber: Are your speakesr built-in or are they plugged into a different soundcard? [12:10] ifireball: do you think a 2GB swap would be fine as well? [12:10] NekoKun; never liked xfce [12:10] Kirby, about gui features, 3d desktop, font antialiasing, file preview, vector icons... etc... [12:10] neeto; okey :p [12:10] Jookia, mount /media/disk-1 -o remount,rw,umask=0 or something like that, check the man page [12:10] can I make ubuntu faster, disabling its so called features? [12:10] thegeek , thx i ll try it [12:10] not supported? [12:10] what can i do when only one of speakers works and another one isnt? [12:10] Kirby is a troll. I'm sure. [12:10] http://noisefrombelow.com/images/sshots/clean.jpg [12:10] Anyone else having audio problems? Mine sounds VERY grainy. This because of Pulse Audio? [12:10] Boredom_inc they are built in, its a laptop [12:10] dagon_: I never liked gnome... can't explain why... [12:10] amerio, don't know, I had problems with an atheros a while ago, checking which one was [12:10] tehgeek, but the volume up key works [12:10] josh_: depends on what you're gonna be running, but generally with 4GB ram, yeah. [12:10] hey everyone, I just installed 8.04 here, and I don't get any 3d acceleration (nvidia) like I did with gutsy... anyone know what's going on? The hardware drivers utility says it's detected "nvidia_new" but it's not in use [12:10] xfce is not ugly in the least [12:10] josh_: 2GB might even be a bit excessive but there is no harm in having one too big as long as you can spare the harddisk space [12:11] Kirby, you sould try Xubuntu if you have an old hardware. less features, less needs. [12:11] Trolls are usually looking for cybersex... ahem... [12:11] boredom_inc:i'd rather be safe than sorry. [12:11] xChat looks like what I'm looking for. Thanks #Ubuntu. [12:11] used to work on gutsy ! but I made a fresh install for hardy and stopped working =) [12:11] NekoKun; okey.. well xfce to me.. is too lightweight [12:11] though when scrolling pdf it;s superfast in ubuntu, I couldn't find such fast pdf viewer in windows [12:11] Kirby, but Xubuntu comes with XFCE as Desktop manager, not Gnome... [12:11] ifireball: what would/might require a bigger swap? [12:11] how do i tell what process is reading my hard drive [12:11] dagon_, so how many ram [12:11] how to reinstall audio drivers? [12:12] Boredom_inc: actually there is harm in that, but not in a desktop scenario I guess [12:12] I have one CD drive. I'm on Live CD right now. I need to burn the 8.04 cd. [12:12] mademelaugh; one [12:12] I just installed hardy. with desktop effects enabled the window titlebar is missing when a window loses focus. using an nvidia graphics card. anyone else seeing this? [12:12] !addon [12:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about addon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:12] dagon_, how many megabytes [12:12] josh_: a heavily loaded server software like a database for example [12:12] amerio, first of all, let me warn you, I told you that thing about IPv6 by mistake, I suppose I used the tab completion with the wrong nick ^^but anyway, I'll try to help you [12:12] Is audio quality a known issue with Hardy? [12:12] mademelaugh; count 'em yourselves [12:12] neeto: xUbuntu used a lot of space... and once I can't easilly uninstall packages (as it's easy in windows), I preffer to get a single minimal install and aptget it application by application [12:12] -s [12:12] tehgeek, i need brightness buttons to work [12:12] gah [12:13] ifireball: No you're going to make him doubt me :P [12:13] mademelaugh; yourself* [12:13] ifireball: ok thamks, now i know i'll be fine with 2, since i don't do anything like that. [12:13] no problem buddy , Im listening [12:13] maybe the default graphics driver in ubuntu is not good for my videocard? [12:13] dagon_, what? run free in terminal, mine is 256m [12:13] lclimber: Look around in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting ... I'm not really sure what the problem is if it's not switching to the headphones... I assume it works in Windows or whatever your previous OS was? [12:13] amerio, wait a minute or so [12:13] Kirby, what videocard do you have? [12:13] take your time [12:13] I have one CD drive. I'm on Live CD right now. I need to burn the 8.04 cd. Any ideas? I'm afriad my computer might explode if it tries to read the system from CD while burning a CD [12:13] Hi, since installing Hardy my disk usage (as in activity) is always around 60% and it's starting to worry me...is there likely something wrong? [12:13] case_: an old one NVIDIA GeForce MX-200 [12:14] mademelaugh; 14740 [12:14] hey everyone, what's the ubuntu way of configuring xorg to use my nvidia driver? Should I just edit the xorg.conf? [12:14] tyranos, Oh, those buttons. :P [12:14] Kirby, you probably have to install the nvidia propretary driver to get decent video acceleration... [12:14] would torrent be faster or a downloader like prozilla or flashget ? [12:14] flithm, tried nvidia-settings in a terminal ? [12:14] Boredom_inc yes, it works on windows, thanx anyways [12:14] jookia: Lol why are you on the live CD and download the 8.04 CD? [12:14] I have one CD drive. I'm on Live CD right now. I need to burn the 8.04 cd. [12:14] dagon_, 1.4g? ram? then gnome kde you can choose whatever you want [12:14] boredom: [12:14] case_: acceleration? do you mean d3d ogl stuff? [12:15] btw, since games were mentioned, does anybody here knows of a nice fast FPS which isn't network-deathmatch-oriented? [12:15] Tasmaniak, desktop search? Check for Indexing service... [12:15] It's a long story, upgrade from alt-cd mounted broke 7.10 on HDD, recovering data onto flash drive using Live CD, now up to this problem. [12:15] ifireball: so if i'm at the partition preparations screen of my ubuntu install, in addition to my swap what do i need to create (other than my Ubuntu partition) and what do i mount where? [12:15] DracoZA: it's not installed :) so what's the deal, the last ubuntu version automatically detected my nvidia card and gave me compiz and stuff, but not 8.04? [12:15] ifireball: do they even exist :P [12:15] Kirby, opengl only on linux, but yes, that's what i mean. but it also benefits to 2d rendering [12:15] flithm, I'm installing as we speak so I cant tell you yet :) [12:15] Okay #Ubuntu, I am now running Linux on my laptop. [12:15] Boredom_inc: they used to >_> [12:16] obnibolongo: I thought of that, but it says Tracker is idle. [12:16] mademelaugh; say what? :P it's 14.7 meg [12:16] so none knows how to get all the fn keys to work [12:16] josh_: you need a /home partition [12:16] maybe i need keytouchd [12:16] dagon_, what? i cannot believe that? try run less /proc/meminfo now [12:16] ifireball: i will put that on my ntfs data partition, so it get backed up. [12:16] does anyone know the difference between vanilla firefox and ubuntu firefox? [12:16] Can any1 help me with a problem im having with my xorg and graphics card.... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4789067#post4789067 [12:16] Tasmaniak, I've never found a good util to see what's accessing a disk, I usually nailed them (disk (ab)users) at using top... If you find a better app tell me! [12:16] josh_: You said you would play windows games... make a separate partition and mount it as /windows (Here you can install games that are windows only) mind you save some space for linux games on the linux partition [12:17] case_: I'll download it later at night. What else can I do to make Ubuntu faster (1. XFce 2. NV driver ...) [12:17] I have encountered my first "problem": A Restricted Drivers warning has appeared. It is telling me that my wireless network card driver is proprietary. Is this a real problem? [12:17] josh_: Actually you can mount it as anything.. "/games" might be more appropriate [12:17] There's no Ubuntu version of netinst and business card installer? [12:17] Q: how do i change the default icons, such as folder icons? [12:17] mademelaugh; what difference was it supposed to make? it's still 14.7 meg free, I'm running vmware at desktop 2, that explains it [12:17] boredom_inc: games will be on the computer i'm building this summer. my laptop can't play games well. [12:18] amerio, you had it working before how? ndiswrapper? [12:18] josh_: not a very good idea I'm afraid, since NTFS isn't 100% compatible with Linux, you better make a separate ext3-formatted partition for /home and back it up with Linux tools [12:18] gluer: u need to install a new icons , then copy them to ".icons" folder in Home directory [12:18] dagon_, hmm, that expains it [12:18] Ciao a tutti [12:18] I had it working without ndiswrapper [12:18] Kirby, try nvdriver first. and don't download it form the nvidia website. you should find dozen of tutorial on how to set it up on the ubuntu forum... [12:18] amerio, which driver? [12:18] Helllo is there a way to enable a wireless connection and a lan connection at the same time in ubuntu? [12:18] c'è qualcuno che può aiutarmi con una scheda Pinnacle? [12:18] mademelaugh; sorry if I confused you :) [12:18] amerio, out-of-the-box? [12:19] josh_: Ahh ok... So this computer you're using now already has windows. Yeah it's probably best to create a separate /home partition like ifireball said. [12:19] gluer: System > Preferences > Theme > Customize > Icons. [12:19] case_: not from website??? [12:19] dagon_, indeed [12:19] the same one but I really have no idea how it worked before [12:19] ifireball: i thought linux could read and write ntfs. what problems does it have? how big can home partitions get? [12:19] Kirby, all these stuff are in the ubuntu repositories, so you don't need to trust a third party website [12:19] Kirby, how many RAM do you have in this PC ? [12:19] josh_: the security scheme for example is completely different [12:20] can someone help me with some module drivers? [12:20] boredom_inc: my data partition has no os on it. xp and vista have their own partitions, and my data has its own partition as well. [12:20] josh_: It can read and writes NTFS... I use it all the time because my brother keeps the music on the windows partition. I've never encountered troubles but technically linux isn't 100% NTFS compatible. [12:20] case_: 768MB, so how do I install a better driver then? [12:20] like how to install and uninstall them? [12:20] hi... I just installed server 8.04 i386. and mysqld_safe is using 100% cpu. funny thing is, there are no databases in mysql yet... [12:20] anyone gotten flash working on Hardy AMD64? [12:20] josh_: Linux uses the UNIX 12bit permission scheme while NTFS uses complex ACLs [12:20] does anyone knonw how to? i want to connect to my other computer while still connected to the internet?? [12:20] oh yeah and the security is different. Linux can delete whatever it feels like from NTFS [12:20] wild_oscar: i dont have themes in my menu, just appearance [12:20] amerio, well... use forums or google for it, it's the best I can say you... Use http://www.savagehamsters.com/?p=55 for a quickstart [12:20] boredom_inc: would you recommend putting my home directory on a data only ntfs partition? [12:21] how about madwifi do u think its gonna work? [12:21] ifireball: would it be ok if i don't plan to encrypt anything? [12:21] josh_: no [12:21] hi [12:21] josh_: Probably not. I'd recommend it's own ext3 partition. [12:21] obnibolongo: I had a look with top as suggested, and I think it may have been the mythtv-backend, I killed the process and it seemed to quieten down a bit. Thanks. [12:21] Question #3: I understand there is an incredibly easy way to install software (sudo something...) where can I find out more about that? [12:21] anyone else having problems w/ mysqld_safe maxing out cpu? ( no databases loaded even ) [12:21] ifireball: how big can a home directory get? [12:21] josh_: the different permission scheme may cause all kinds of unexpected problems for various programs [12:21] can someone name me the tool witch installs newest nvidia driver automaticly? [12:22] envy [12:22] Hi. [12:22] ahh right thanks [12:22] josh_: In fact if you want you could mount the ext3 home directory in windows. I do this also... mind you windows has even less support for ext3 than linux has for NTFS. I did it mostly cause it looks cool :P [12:22] amerio, can't tell you without having messed with that Atheros in particular more... Which I haven't :) (a firend of mine had that wireless card and I gave up trying to make it work on 7.10 :P) [12:22] MarV-, the tool is named envy === Griverr is now known as Griver [12:22] josh_: depends on what you put in it, this is where all your documents/files/music/video/settings goes to by default [12:22] gluer: then I don't know [12:22] amerio: Google, Forums, and you'll find something. The page I told you had windows drivers which worked well with ndiswrapper :) [12:22] I'll try to mess things up now ! if I make it work I'll let you know how ;) [12:22] amerio, good luck :) [12:23] gluer: appearence [12:23] Why there aren't jigdo files for 8.04 desktop? [12:23] theme -customize [12:23] Tasmaniak, you welcome :) [12:23] thanx mate [12:23] you have icons there [12:23] Glas`Awyr: You mean 'sudo apt-get install '? [12:23] amerio, :) [12:23] boredom_inc: could i mount my ext3 directory in my ntfs data partition? i don't care if windows can't read it. [12:23] Kirby, you only need to install packages from the package manager (synaptic) . you can try to install the package nvidia-settings, it should eventualy set it up to you, but i'm not 100% positive on that point... [12:23] btw, can anyone check if "help" works on appearence? [12:23] are there any problems with envy in 8.04? [12:24] !ext3 | josh_ [12:24] josh_: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [12:24] I need help please !!! [12:24] system -preferences - appearance - help [12:24] mine does not work [12:24] iKar, ask, sir [12:24] guys,, just installed hardy heron ,, got an ati x1800 mob radeon, activated restricted driver,, when enabling effects the whole system freezes pls advice !!

[12:24] any one know if wubi works with a external dtive [12:24] neeto, VirtualBox [12:24] anyone here got maybe Leadtek Winfast TV2000 XP tv tuner? [12:24] Kirby, setting up the proprietary driver for nvidia videocard is one of the most documented question on ubuntu, i'm not the most qualified to help you... [12:24] cool [12:24] neeto, but really depends on what you want to do [12:24] morning :) [12:25] neeto, yep [12:25] case_: should XFCE be installed from apt-get also? [12:25] Kirby, yes [12:25] 8.04 installer problem: I'm using the Live CD installer but when I get to the partition step the list contains nothing and all the buttons are disabled. Does anyone know anything about this bug? [12:25] neeto, for example, setting up an connectin which is not NAT is a bitch in Linux [12:25] mademelaugh:then what was Boredome_inc talking about? [12:25] !xfce | Kirby [12:25] Kirby: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [12:25] neeto, though Ubuntu wiki is very helpful :) [12:25] josh_: I'm getting a bit lost as to what you are asking now... Just make a ext3 partition and mount it as /home ... You can back it up when you backup your NTFS partition. [12:25] guys,, just installed hardy heron ,, got an ati x1800 mob radeon, activated restricted driver,, when enabling effects the whole system freezes pls advice !! [12:25] wild_oscar, not working here [12:25] josh_, sorry but you know the channel is so busy [12:25] !minimal [12:25] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [12:25] jtravnick: cheers, I'll submit a bug then [12:25] mmmm [12:26] Hello, can someone help me with my Internet connection? The network seems to be down, and I can't get it to detect an available wireless network. [12:26] Kirby, you have a meta-package called xubuntu-desktop which will install all the packages related to the XFCE desktop... [12:26] Kirby, but it will take a lot of disk space... [12:26] there's no 8.04 minimal... [12:26] less than gnome...:p [12:26] when I try to boot live cd It says The display server has been shut down for about 6 times In the last 90 sec Its likely smthng bad happened" [12:26] and everything stops [12:27] I've been searching google for hours and i cant seem to find something similar to both alltray and mail-notification for Evolution. For the most part all i want is to be able to minimize Evolution to tray but with a program that works with compiz-fusion, as alltray does not. Any suggestions? [12:27] Boredome_inc: " josh_: In fact if you want you could mount the ext3 home directory in windows. I do this also... mind you windows has even less support for ext3 than linux has for NTFS. I did it mostly cause it looks cool" what do you mean by mounting the ext3 home directory in windows? [12:27] mademelaugh, i mean, having xubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop is a little bit too much :) [12:27] guys,, just installed hardy heron ,, got an ati x1800 mob radeon, activated restricted driver,, when enabling effects the whole system freezes pls advice !! [12:27] Hi... anyone know if there is a HCL for 8.04? (checking if a Nova-T USB2 stick will work) [12:27] wild_oscar, did you do fresh install or upgrade?

[12:28] Kirby, do you mean "is there a way to screw everything fast?" :) [12:28] jtravnick: an upgrade [12:28] case_: I'm not afraid [12:28] Kirby, don't do that. use sudo [12:28] when I try to boot live cd It says The display server has been shut down for about 6 times In the last 90 sec Its likely smthng bad happened" help?

[12:29] Boredom_inc, what is it [12:29] iKar: incompatible graphics card or something [12:29] Kirby, you can use "sudo -s" which will give you a root shell. but use with care. [12:29] wild_oscar, k will confirm it now [12:29] can be due to tons of things [12:29] case_: how's that? [12:29] Anyone here use xChat on Ubuntu?

Gusty used to give 1024x768... this seems to be 640x480 [12:42] JPSmon, dunno then [12:42] nullkuhl: total freezes are typically roted in hardware problems though, could your system be overheating? [12:42] how can i install xmms in hardy? [12:42] chazco: whats your graphics card? [12:43] kebab, that's the right answer [12:43] guitarj1d: I have x1950 pro and I had boot problems did U?

Belkin is the devil. Offers NO software [12:48] I'm beginning to believe Belkin are the devil, one model number (F5D7050) and 5 different chipsets... [12:48] usernamed: Well forums are probably a better spot to search first, but people here can probably help [12:49] LOL [12:49] gord, i use wget -c ...url [12:49] ifireball: either with basic or massive effects when trying to move windows system freezes at once but when trying other effects like fading and minimizing effects works fine [12:49] kebab, ln -s /usr/src/`uname -r` /usr/src/linux [12:49] Lol I'm so confused why is everybodys upgrades bigger than the iso.... Mine wasn't Ls [12:49] kebab, sudo that [12:49] wonder if there is any local linux guru's I can hire in my town [12:50] JPSmon, what's your local town ? [12:50] what should fps be in glxgears in norm? [12:50] mohamed_:aha good. then u can probably save the file into the torrent location and it will pick it up fro there :) [12:50] JPSmon which town are you in [12:50] JPSmon: you can become your local linux guru [12:50] Basically, I'm running lsusb -v and getting the following two lines... [12:50] mohamed_:it will find it and resume from maybe 80% (a guess) [12:50] crashanddie: actually I think I have a different problem, need to go [12:50] iManufacturer 1 Manufacturer_Realtek [12:50] iProduct 2 Belkin Wireless G USB Adapter [12:50] thx, gord i will try [12:51] kebab, seems the symlink isn't there, have the same problem, issue what I said, should work [12:51] nullkuhl: sounds like a bug... or a faulty GFX card [12:51] I'm guessing Realtek do more than one chipset, how do I narrow down what I've got? [12:51] hmmm [12:51] JPSmon: perhaps geeksquad is in your area ? [12:51] usernamed, what problem do you have? [12:51] hello, i am using a dell m1330 laptop, when i installed ubuntu, i hav trouble using the internal mic, can anyone help me [12:52] crashanddie: still "The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory." have to go now, sorry [12:52] mohamed_: if not dont delete the file u have so far, it may be possible, just ask again if u have problems, someone will help, say u have incomplete wget-ed file and someone might have an idea :) w'salam [12:52] lsusb shows the belkin device, but there's no wlan0 or other network device [12:52] iKar, installing I will let you know "Type "chmod +x example.run" (press enter). [12:52] 4. Now type "./example.run", press enter, and the installer will run." [12:52] Hello, can someone help me configure my broadcom chipset? The wiki page is not helpful. Thanks. [12:52] kebab, you must have messed up the command I gave you [12:52] nullkuhl: try playing a game with effects off, I don't really know which 3D games are bundled with Ubuntu though, check the Add/Remove applet [12:52] thx gord, salam :) [12:53] HardyOne: geeksquad only installs stereos for rich old people [12:53] I am apparently a failure. [12:53] LainIwakura, what does hwinfo say [12:53] Can I add drivers to hardy's mini.iso? [12:53] just upgraded to hardy and my flash plugin in firefox doesnt have sound no more..any ideas? [12:53] usernamed ah, is it the belkin wireless usb? [12:53] usernamed, type lspci [12:53] iKernel, It certainly is [12:53] any1 else having driver issues with ati graphics cards? [12:53] marvxxx: Does everything else have sound? eg. Totem etc.? [12:53] JPSmon: hehe is that so? I just remember seeing the cars on the road thinking I need to get a job with those guys [12:53] how do you enable modules in apache installed in ubuntu? [12:53] usernamed I doubt you'll have much luck with usb wireless, I'd recccommend buying a dlink card with an atheros chipset [12:54] Boredom_inc: yep...but i found a thread at forums [12:54] i remember it had a funny command line helped, but cant find / remember the name [12:54] mademelaugh: i'm not booted in ubuntu now.. will ifconfig, iwconfig, lshw -C network, lspci, or lsmod suffice (those of which I have written down) [12:54] NekoKun: the mini iso is the net install - most apps are d/loaded [12:54] harveyd: restart apache after you add the modules to your .conf [12:54] usernamed anything with an atheros chipset will do actually, best to get one that goes into PCI port [12:54] hello, i am using a dell m1330 laptop, when i installed ubuntu, i hav trouble using the internal mic, can anyone help me [12:54] marvxxx: lol ok [12:54] ere4si: But I need some basic drivers... even to the wireless... [12:54] the case is such that the graphics card coolling hangs over the one remaining pci slot, no pci expansion possible :( [12:54] xhamahx, what soundcard do you got? [12:54] usernamed and I know the nature of new linux users, they will fight trying to make their current hardware work instead of buying something else. but the better option is to go out and buy something else [12:54] Boredom_inc: i will check [12:54] Is there anyway to automatically set the execute bit on oridinary files ala umask or any other means? [12:55] xhamahx, could be please explain more "having troubles" isn't an error message [12:55] Boredom_inc: works [12:55] harveyd, HardyOne: if its apache2 there is a command a2-something (use tab...) [12:55] NekoKun: then the mini iso won't be appropriate for you afaik [12:55] oki I downloaded drivers and Im waiting thx 4 command [12:55] plagerism, chmod +x file [12:55] iKernel, is there no USB solution possible? [12:55] I'm going to have one more poke at this. If I can't get xChat running on my machine there is no hope for me. [12:55] Hey, Can someone take a look at this for me. I want to know if my WIFI now works without Ndiswrapper http://i29.tinypic.com/14b6jqe.png [12:55] ifireball: no idea. just know that apache needs to be rehashed/restarted anytime you add something to it [12:55] Can you use a KDE application on a Gnome system? [12:55] a2enmod [12:55] i mean, ubuntu itself dont detect the mic, [12:55] thats it, thanks [12:55] crashanddie: ala umask, as in automatically upon creation [12:56] harveyd: a2enmod [12:56] plagerism, no, why would you need it ? [12:56] usernamed probably, but the belkin usb is very crap anyway, and drops out frequently. I had to install the drivers on windows frequently whenever it stopped working [12:56] marvxxx: This is the standard flash plugin yes? As in adobes? [12:56] usernamed, so even if you can get it working, it will probably not be worth it [12:56] Ravenkin: you can but alot of extras will be d/loaded to make it work [12:56] how do i control what meta-release file is used? every time i run update-manager on hardy, i get 'current dist not found in meta-release file' [12:56] ere4si thanks [12:56] Does anyone know which mixed flash plugin uses by default... eg. ALSA [12:56] k [12:56] Anyone lol? [12:57] plagerism, only the program that creates the file can set given bits on it, the samba server allows you to set execute bits, but you need to go through it [12:57] HardyOne: yeah, but you don't need to actually tweak the conf file since the apache2 config is modular, you have symlink directories a-la /etc/rc*.d [12:57] #ubuntu - I installed the correct drivers using ndisgtk, It said there WAS hardware for it so i don't see why the light should stay orange. I also modprobed. [12:57] ToM-X what? [12:57] I am in the Add/Remove Applications window. I can see xChat. I click it, and it tells me "The list of applications is not available" [12:57] iKernel, thanks for the advice. All, if anyone knows of a usb solution that works out of the box with Ubuntu I'd greatly appreciate it. [12:57] ifireball: my answer was very general I realise. but he got the jist I think [12:57] Batch, have tried scanning around for aps? [12:57] Glas`Awyr, try sudo apt-get install xchat [12:58] !info xchat [12:58] xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu7 (hardy), package size 301 kB, installed size 808 kB [12:58] iKernel: I just install 8.04 and seen this on the restricted hardware http://i29.tinypic.com/14b6jqe.png does mean I can use my WIFI without NDISWRAPPER? [12:58] if i want to show screenshot to someone? how to do that? which website to use? [12:58] iKernel: Yes, No scan results [12:58] Even though i am 1 metre away from the router. [12:58] !repositories | Glas`Awyr enable Universe and Multiverse if you have not done so [12:58] "E: Couldn't find package xchat" [12:58] Glas`Awyr enable Universe and Multiverse if you have not done so: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [12:58] usernamed, I'd suggest you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [12:58] ToM-X what kind of wifi do you have? [12:58] can someone with a fresh hardy install tell me the contents of the file /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release-lts ? [12:58] thanks crashanddie! [12:59] ToM-X ah-ha, atheros. Yes, with atheros you can easily use your wifi card without ndiswrapper. download madwifi [12:59] Iv got some engenius wi fi will it work? [12:59] im going to boot... good luck with the troubles everyone... bye [13:00] iKar depends [13:00] HardyOne: blah blah [13:00] ubuntu guys did a fine job [13:00] whatś the best and easyest audio streaming program för ubuntu? with gui [13:00] iKErnel:On what? [13:00] hardy is smooth [13:00] iKernel: When I try to install xen-restricted-modules-2.6.17-6-generic-xen0 it says: Depends: xen-image-xen0-2.6.17-6-generic-xen0 but it is not installable Any Idea? [13:00] iKar on what kind of chisep it is [13:00] snask, gmplayer ? [13:01] ifireball: point taken and I will from now on try to not jump in when not certain of an answer :) [13:01] ToM-X why are you trying to install xen modules? are you running an xen kernel? [13:01] crashanddie, ill try it =) [13:01] why totem work so bad [13:01] is there anyone else out there having problem with ndiswrapper and teh newer kernels diabling the device irq on boot? [13:01] :/ [13:01] ToM-X seach in synaptic package manageer for madwifi, you may have to enable some repositories [13:01] iKernel:its engenius usb antenna and how to find on wich chipset? [13:01] ToM-X if you can't find madwifi, tell me and I'll help further, it may not even be out yet [13:01] for hardy [13:02] mohamed_: i just had a thought, wget shouldn't over write the old file by default, (as long as size+filename+datestamps are the same) so you could try wget -c }differentserver/filename{ again and see what happens, but copy the file somewhere first to maske sure. I wasnt thinking straight, i assumed at first you had used something horrible like windozeIE do download it, wget is very good, i think it will just work, starting at the offset fro [13:02] m the filesize u have [13:02] !apt-list [13:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-list - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:02] why is it that every file i create in my htdocs folder i have to change the permissions for anyone on the web to see it [13:02] ? [13:02] is there anyone else out there having problem with ndiswrapper and the newer kernels disabling the device irq on boot? === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [13:02] if i encrypt a partition on my hard drive can i have it so it doesn't automatically mount on boot ? [13:02] Also, When i use "ndiswrapper -l" it shows the driver bcmw15 as installed, So i don't see what the problem is [13:02] (2:01:30 PM) iKar: iKernel:its engenius usb antenna and how to find on wich chipset? [13:02] gord, wget will not resume by default, but create a different file [13:02] nxusr no but personally, I wouldn't use any card that requires ndiswrapper. Find a card with an atheros chipset [13:02] iKernel: No, I only see Madwifi Tools. [13:03] Anyone know of a front end for Cron? [13:03] iKar, lspci -v [13:03] iKernel, not much of a choice, came with the notebook [13:03] ToM-X, right, install madwifi tools, and tell me if it selects any other packages due to dependicies [13:03] I can't update some sources [13:03] iKernel:No money :D [13:04] iKernel: No, It just installed on it's own. [13:04] why if I try to sudo do I get the message unable to resolve host ? [13:04] ToM-X right, let me google around for a moment [13:04] Thanks. [13:05] MadJawa, what sources are you having problems with? [13:05] gord, it will rewrite or simply refuse to download, depending on the situation (timestamp, etc) [13:05] ToM-X search for linux-restricted-modules [13:05] crashanddie: he's already using wget -c u suu, to continue it, its the change of server address he was worrying about [13:05] Can someone confirm it is now possible to skip the 30th-boot fsck by pressing a key? === albinou is now known as albinou[0] [13:05] ToM-X oh, and open up a terminal and tell me the output of uname -r [13:05] gord, it's the same filename, so -c will always resume [13:06] chazco: the escape key has always worked for me [13:06] does anyone know the difference between vanilla firefox and ubuntu firefox? [13:06] anyone have an idea why I cant use sudo ? [13:06] ere4si - Never worked for me, seems to be offering the option now in Hardy :) [13:06] DracoZA, no, but I'm sure an error message will help us [13:06] DracoZA, why [13:06] iKernel: 2.6.24-16-generic and I have just searched. [13:06] crashanddie, few lines up..I get unable to resolve hostname [13:06] jtravnick: http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release.gpg (timed out) [13:06] and other too [13:06] ToM-X did any packages come up? [13:06] DracoZA, i think you need to edit /etc/sudoers [13:06] anyone know how to enable the nvidia closed drivers for hardy in the latest kernel? [13:07] bXi: quite a few of then, Ubuntu FF for example supports installing plugins/extensions from *.deb files [13:07] mademelaugh how can he do that without root priveledges though? [13:07] hallo [13:07] how do I set to boot at runlevel 3 (command line) [13:07] DracoZA, did you change the name of your computer ? [13:07] SimplySeth edit /etc/inittab [13:07] hello everybody [13:07] crashanddie, not from the install name [13:07] iKernel: Yes 18 restricted modules. [13:07] SimplySeth edit the id:: part [13:07] Where can I find the hashes for the ubuntu 8.04 images? [13:07] ifireball: i'm having issues with some javascript/php which only gets triggered when using the firefox in ubuntu [13:08] !runlevel [13:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:08] iKernel: funny thing .. didn't find it :-/ .. mebbe it was brain gas .. lemme look again [13:08] can someone help me with wlan pls? :( dosnt work [13:08] iKernel, god, didn't install ubuntu yourself [13:08] ToM-X ok, take a screenshot and upload it somewhere for me [13:08] crashanddie: yeah i told him to put the half-baked file into a torrent client and see if it picked up from there anyways [13:08] can someone help me with this? http://pastebin.com/d1d6f191e [13:08] should i install an irc server on ubunutu server at home of just create a channel on this irc server? [13:08] Question: When dual booting windows xp and ubuntu, does your root partion have to have a boot flag? [13:08] SimplySeth, try locate inittab [13:08] iKernel: aight .. thanks [13:08] and any suggestions for an irc server for my home server... [13:08] hi. i have some performance issues during video playback. the fan is going crazy :( it was fine under feisty [13:09] DracoZA, I remember being unable to sudo once, after changing the hostname, try rebooting, if doesn't work, you're going have to boot from another medium, mount partition, and find out what happened [13:09] wib, are you running any other programs? [13:09] DracoZA, but without more information, nor anything you did, we won't be able to help, sorry [13:09] Anyone? [13:09] nikitis, yes [13:09] hello [13:09] nikitis no it doesn't [13:09] iKernel: http://i30.tinypic.com/2z754ec.png [13:09] crashanddie, hostname mismatch? [13:09] nikitis only your boot partition has to have a boot flag [13:09] iKernel: just firefox, pidgin, evolution [13:09] !hostname [13:09] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [13:10] bXi: well, check the versions, the Ubuntu version may be slightly older, can you give more details about your problem? [13:10] nikitis however if you're booting straight to your root partition instead of having a seperate boot partition, then yes [13:10] looking for info on getting gui support in one of the burning apps for old DVD-RAM discs....anyone know about this. [13:10] windows rules :P [13:10] iKernel: and compiz [13:10] iKernel: My windows partition has a boot flag, but my /boot doesn't Would this cause an error 17 in Grub? [13:10] Just make sure that the linux-restricted-modules are installed. [13:10] gilster32 why use GUI when you can just use cdrecord [13:10] how would i go about doing thatr? [13:10] ifireball: basicly i use mootools to POST a form [13:10] to a php page [13:10] iKernel: can u halp me with wlan plz? seems like you know about ubuntu well [13:10] can someone help me with jackd under hardy? http://pastebin.com/d1d6f191e [13:10] newcomer008, what's the matter ? [13:10] i have GF 8800gt with auto cooling FAN, in windows its very quaiet, but in linux it is runing alweys 100%, how can i make it lower ?? [13:10] Hi, just upgraded to Hardy, and done an update check now it says 177 updates, there was a partial upgrade or something else. This is wrong I assume [13:10] nikitis yes, absouloutely [13:11] crashanddie, I typed sudo after logging in for the first time, brand new install and I get unknown host [13:11] ikernel:thats fine....how do i use cdrecord with DVD-RAM discs [13:11] when i print_r($_POST) i dont see anything while firebug tells me the data is what i expect [13:11] wib ah-ha, compiz. were you running compiz with feisty? [13:11] crashanddie: my AVM wlan stick doesnt work [13:11] this only happens on firefox 2 and 3b5 [13:11] ikernel:i need to format them as UDF [13:11] * SimplySeth wonders if anyone else's gdm got hosed after upgrading :-/ [13:11] DracoZA, can you 'cat /etc/hostname' and tell me what it says ? [13:11] gilster32 should just be able to stick the dvd-ram stick in and go cdrecord blah.iso [13:11] bXi: btw the gory details of changes Ubuntu made are in: /usr/share/doc/firefox/changelog.Debian.gz [13:11] iKernel: yes. and it was gutsy, my mistake [13:11] the ubuntu versions of firefox that is [13:11] newcomer008, please explain "doesn't work", we need real error messages [13:11] ikernel: no [13:11] gilster32 you'll need soemthing to create the iso file though [13:11] MadJawa, you sure thats a valid source? also if you did an upgrade make sure your third party sources say hardy and not gutsy [13:11] gilster32 what do you mean, "no"? [13:12] crashanddie: first ubuntu see the wlans near me, but if i try to connect ubuntu crashes [13:12] iKernel: http://i30.tinypic.com/2z754ec.png [13:12] newcomer008, which driver are you using ? Which version ? Which chipset ? [13:12] can anyone tell me how upgrade gutsy to hardy using aptitude command line [13:12] swamy, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:12] ikernel: this is not a stick. i bought a long time ago a packet of DVD-RAM dvds. i want to erase them and formate them, must have a UDF filesystem. [13:13] crashanddie: im runnig an ibm t30 notebook with the new ubuntu 8.04 and the avm wlan usb stick [13:13] swamy first change your apt.sources file to the hardy sources, then run apt-get update, then run apt-get dist-upgrade [13:13] crashanddie, it says "Thumper" which is the name of the machine [13:13] bXi: the print_r($_POST) command is a PHP command right? [13:13] iKernel: its official .. I have no inittab [13:13] newcomer008, which version of the driver ? [13:13] ere4si: About the mini install, well, not even USB drivers are loaded? [13:13] crashanddie: and i use the preinstalled driver [13:13] crashhanddie: i did but sources are not available [13:13] hello everyone [13:13] ikernel: are you familiar with DVD-RAM media? [13:13] newcomer008, I don't know all the drivers by heart, can you try to find out ? Or at least give me the chipset name of your usb wifi dongle [13:14] jtravnick: it seems that the french servers are a bit laggy at this time [13:14] ToM-X ok, looks like you've already got linux-restricted installed, have you been into the restricted drivers manager yet? [13:14] I joined 8.04 to AD. Now I'm unable to sudo anything. Any ideas? [13:14] I think I should wait [13:14] NekoKun: it is all about getting the necessaries from the net - so it uses minimal resources [13:14] crashanddie: ill try out to find find out what driver it exactly is [13:14] gilster32 yes I am, it is used in cam corder and can be repetadly written to without having to blank the disk [13:14] iKernel: i did aptitude update and then aptitude full-upgrade, but links are not avalaible [13:14] ere4si, hello, how are you doing [13:14] bXi: not sure how trustworthy is firebug here, I'd try to sniff the communications, but that may be a rather radical approach, do you get any errors in the JS console? [13:14] DracoZA, hang on, what command are you executing with sudo ? [13:14] swamy you're in trouble then :) [13:14] @all i just wanted some help in configuring a PPTP VPN server under ubuntu 7.10 server , can anyone help me so i can connect to this server via windows client ??? [13:14] DracoZA, sudo echo "test" [13:14] Hi... is this correct for mediabuntu - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring [13:14] swamy did you try apt-get dist-upgrade? [13:14] swamy: tried using do-release-upgrade ? [13:14] crashanddie, sudo nano [13:15] ere4si: yes, but, it needs to be on a lan... in my case the best option would be a wireless connection [13:15] Lol, I've been patient but the room isn't quietening down xD [13:15] crashanddie, sudo echo gives the same error [13:15] ikernel:thats correct. but i cant write to it with any old prgram like cdrecord or k3b etc. unless i have them formatted to udf. [13:15] can anyone help me dual boot a Linux OS [13:15] Just make sure that the linux-restricted-modules are installed. [13:15] how would i go about doing thatr? [13:15] or could someone point me in a direction to get sudo working with AD? [13:15] ifireball: everything is fine otherwise just that it doesnt show.. weirdest is that firefox 2.0.0.14 in windows works and an older firefox on a custom linux distro also works [13:15] Howdy folks. I have a laptop, and I just did a full wipe and reinstall of hardy from scratch. I used to have a little tray icon to set my CPU speed, but I can't remember the package name to reinstall it. Would anyone happen to know? [13:15] NekoKun: try the alternate cd then - I don't think the mini cd will do that [13:15] bXi: could your Ubuntu FF contain other plug-ins that may be in the way? noscript, etc. ? [13:15] crashanddie, in fact just typing sudo gives me unable to resolve hostname [13:15] DracoZA, can you paste the exact error ? [13:15] iKernel: Is "Hardware Drivers" the restricted driver manager in 8.04 is it not? [13:15] N1NCHN41L5: You will need to install windows first [13:15] can anyne tell me from which mirror i should upgrade my gutsy to hardy [13:16] @all i just wanted some help in configuring a PPTP VPN server under ubuntu 7.10 server , can anyone help me so i can connect to this server via windows client ??? [13:16] N1NCHN41L5: then install linux [13:16] DracoZA, (if it's one line only) [13:16] ToM-X yeah it is [13:16] hey everyone [13:16] ifireball: only extra plugin i had was greasemonkey but i removed that one now [13:16] swamy; just run it with update-manager [13:16] gilster32 what's the problem with formatting to udf then [13:16] iKernel: It is still the same. [13:16] crashanddie, "sudo: unable to resolve host Thumper" [13:16] madamelaugh: I always do well [13:16] ikernel:thats what i am trying to do ;-) [13:16] N1NCHN41L5: if you have Vista it may ba a little hairy.. I have only done 95, 98, and XP for windows dual boot [13:16] bXi: what I wonder is if the data is posted at all, maybe something about the post triggers other behavior from PHP [13:16] N1NCHN41L5: but windows has to be on the MBR [13:16] gilster32 oh, right. not sure, sorry [13:16] "Restricted Driver Manager" is now "jockey-gtk"/"Hardware Drivers" in hardy. [13:17] i not able to dist-upgrade gutsy since links are not available [13:17] DracoZA, ok, I think I know what this is about [13:17] I'm probably being really thick here but I can't seem to figure out how to drag and drop files in Hardy. [13:17] DracoZA, can you cat /etc/hosts and paste the output to a pastebin ? [13:17] mousecion - dual booting vista w/out sp1 is EASY [13:17] DracoZA, or just the first two lines (127.x.x.x) [13:17] ifireball: thats what i'd like to know [13:17] swamy; run a terminal, sudo update-manager and it should pop up there. did you try that? [13:18] gonna try wireshark [13:18] I just made a fresh install of the 8.04 LTS, and something I noticed is that, there was no updates available after restarting the system.Can someone tell me why, or is my system going nuts? THANKS [13:18] bXi: good luck [13:18] no i have a 20g hdd almost half to ubuntu - and i want to fill the other three partitions ext3 with puppy and puplets [13:18] I have a laptop, and I just did a full wipe and reinstall of hardy from scratch. I used to have a little *tray* icon to set my CPU speed, but I can't remember the package name to reinstall it. (No, it's not the one in gnome-applets, called cpufreq-selector) Would anyone happen to know? [13:18] iKernel: Shall I just try and compile and Install? [13:18] can anyne tell me from which mirror i should upgrade my gutsy to hardy [13:18] please help me [13:19] garu: 8.04 was just released this morning, there are no updates yet. [13:19] i doubt there would be many(if any) updates to hardy, since its been out for not even 1 day [13:19] i tried an when i loaded muppy008 it tore up GRUB an NADA worked [13:19] gilster32 you might find this interesting, http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-udf/ [13:19] swamy, a local mirror [13:19] crashanddie, Line 1 "127.0.0.1 localhost" Line 2 "127.0.0.1 Thumper.ZATRM" [13:19] DracoZA, bingo [13:19] DracoZA, can you gksudo /etc/hosts ? [13:19] ToM-X yeah, you're going to need the kernel sources though [13:19] crashanddie: ive copied the part of syslog which is about the wlan stick i just put in. here it is: http://pastebin.com/d1b0e484b [13:19] intrinsyx humn...thanks!I thought it came out yesterday!lol [13:19] can i switch apt-get to to a local mirror? is there a mirror in the uk? [13:19] ToM-X while I've been sucessful in doing that, it may require a little bit of experience in linux [13:19] crashanddie: hope it says oemthing helpful [13:19] DracoZA, gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [13:19] swamy: open up "Software Sources" and pick something else from the "Download from" box [13:19] ints in - right click on bar on screen add item and its in there [13:20] swamy: pick "Other" and then click the Best Server button. === Genti-selanik is now known as fr0g [13:20] crashanddie, ok im in === fr0g is now known as fr0gs [13:20] DracoZA, ok, edit the second line [13:20] bXi: did you check if the data may have been sent with GET rather then POST ?

Is it safe to upgrade production servers now or update servers are slow as hell atm? [13:22] yaroslav: us.archive.ubuntu.org is still slow as fsck. [13:22] swamy, stop asking, use a local mirror, check the mirror list on the Ubuntu.com website, find something close to you, and stick to it. [13:22] slow [13:22] crashanddie, thanks its working fine, what a strange problem :) [13:22] yaroslav: wait a day or two :) [13:23] god, there are SO many people here [13:23] iKernel: linux-source-2.6.24 ? [13:23] DracoZA, you upgraded from gutsy to hardy, no ? [13:23] iKernel: is hardy stable released or is it in testing phase [13:23] ToM-X that's the one :) [13:23] N1NCHN41L5: You got me on that one. I have yet to try and dual boot multi *nix systems. Though I should.. I just have a laptop or 2 that I can blow away at any time needed for a different OS [13:23] Rofl [13:23] crashanddie, brand new install [13:23] Ubuntu 8.04... Awesome! Compiz Fusion finally works with my card! <3 Love it! [13:23] DracoZA, weird [13:23] Hello there, how can I automount my second harddrive in 8.04. In 7.10 it automatically mounted my drives to the desktop [13:23] crashanddie, indeed [13:23] iKernel, its due to the new release [13:23] DracoZA, maybe you should try to file a bug or something [13:23] yaroslav: Switch over to another mirror and it's pretty fast. I'm using archive.linux.duke.edu and getting ~500KB/sec [13:23] ObiTeh1 great! now try to get it working with xfce4! good luck, you'll need it :) [13:23] hi. help me fix my net connection. its very slow. i have disabled ipv6 already and no luck. pls [13:23] arvind_khadri I'm aware of that. [13:24] yaroslav: if you have more then one server you should consider using a proxy repository anyway [13:24] red_: It's not you, it's the servers. === Nahi is now known as weed [13:24] iKernel, :) [13:24] iKernel, heh, maybe at a later date. :P [13:24] ifireball: i have 4, but they are all hosted VPSes :-/ [13:24] arvind_khadri i'm giving my bit to the community by helping people out, even though i don't currently use ubuntu :) [13:24] My turn? [13:24] :P [13:24] red_: Switch mirrors or wait a day or two. [13:24] I've installed the bcmw15 driver using ndisgtk, and also modprobed it. But the light never turns blue :S Any suggestions? [13:24] Batch wlanconfig [13:24] yaroslav: I see. [13:24] i would like to update my hardy heron from beta to release, but i don't have X installed. how can I do it without the update-manager ? [13:24] iKernel, thats really nice of you...so you must be a debian guy [13:25] mousecion can i pm u? [13:25] arvind_khadri yes actually [13:25] newcomer008, it says the stick got deactivated, did you deactivate it ? [13:25] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg no longer writes resolutions to xorg.conf ? [13:25] intrinsyx: not really the ubuntu servers i am having problem. even web browsing is slow. my gutsy didnt have this prob [13:25] rafelbev: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:25] ifireball: its being sent with post [13:25] newcomer008, also, you wouldn't have older logs ? Possibly from when you had a freeze ? [13:25] iKernel - Sec, Installing madwifi-tools [13:25] crash, nope. it happens simly w/o reason :( [13:25] iKernel, aah knew it ...its really very nice of you...debain actually kinda hates ubuntu [13:25] !alternate [13:25] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [13:25] arvind_khadri actually, I got really excited by the hostname thing from the bot, im going to try that when i next get into debian [13:25] crashanddie: i only put it into the slot, nothing more [13:25] arvind_khadri yeah I know, but I can still help :) [13:25] intrinsyx: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I saw a note that is possible but no instructions [13:26] ere4si: What comes with the minimal? Or there's only bash and apt-get? [13:26] rafelbev: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:26] can anyone tell me how to decrease the icon spacing on the desktop????? [13:26] bXi: according to the sniffed data? [13:26] intrinsyx: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [13:26] indian_munnda: dist-upgrade isn't recommended [13:26] !hostname [13:26] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [13:26] intrinsyx any idea on why restricted drivers are downloaded sucessfully, and are in use, but if its enabled, after the system is restarted, I get no desktop after the loading screen? [13:26] intrinsyx: same thing [13:26] crashanddie: but i still can see my wlan-network at my home. when i try to connect now ubuntu will simply load all the time and i cannot do anything more [13:26] ANY HELP DUAL BOOTING LINUX OS's [13:26] anyone figure out how to install the closed nvidia drivers if you did not do a clean install? [13:26] * intrinsyx shrugs [13:26] indian_munnda: sorry [13:26] intrinsyx: is my problem out of ubuntu scope? [13:27] NekoKun: it is just a means of connecting to the packages - a basic means at that [13:27] intrinsyx: dist-upgrade isn't recommended [13:27] tar up your homedir and do a clean install. [13:27] N1NCHN41L5 yeah, easy, but only once you stop using caps [13:27] iKernel: I did : wlanconfig eth1, Is this correct? [13:27] newcomer008, it doesn't crash anymore ? [13:27] Myrtti: what is ? [13:27] Batch, try a wlanconfig list [13:27] Myrtti: it's okay [13:27] rafelbev: update-manager -c [13:27] Myrtti: i don't have update-manager [13:27] N1NCHN41L5, ok [13:27] ifireball: the sniffed data doesnt tell me anything :/ [13:27] Myrtti: update-manager requires X. [13:27] obnibolongo mate u still there? [13:28] intrinsyx: dist-upgrade still isn't recommended [13:28] newcomer008, there seems to be a bug in the driver for you usb stick, there is a work around, everything is explained here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/200589 [13:28] I think i'm gonna stick to 7.10 for a little while longer :) [13:28] Myrtti: this is a server [13:28] iKernel: Unable to get station information, I did "wlanconfig eth1 list" [13:28] hmmmmmm [13:28] iKernel: I have installed it, am I ok to compile Madwifi and install? [13:28] Myrtti, shouln't it be updat-manager -d [13:28] Myrtti: can you tell me how to decrease the icon spacing on the desktop????? [13:28] update [13:28] DracoZA, why is that ? New problem ?

[13:28] bXi: you positing to https? [13:28] crashanddie: oh damn :O i know why it crashes. its my fault. ill configured my router do refuse new wlan components [13:28] indian_munnda: open up gconf-editor and find the gconf key. [13:28] ifireball: it seems as if nothing from mootools gets posted [13:28] i have a problem with my screensaver preferences [13:28] * Scrounch is now away: off [13:28] can anyone help me with the problem i am having with created directory permissions [13:29] hey all, so i upgraded and for some reason my mp3s sound horrible [13:29] Scrounch no away messages in #ubuntu please [13:29] crashanddie: ok, but thx anyways :) have a nice day [13:29] intrinsyx: how to open that? [13:29] what is the official way to upgrade ubuntu-server from beta to release ? [13:29] bXi: yeah, there is probably some JS error somewhere [13:29] newcomer008, it shouldn't crash though, file a bug report will all the info you can [13:29] moDumassest are you running esound ? [13:29] update-manager is geared towards desktops [13:29] indian_munnda: gconf-editor [13:29] newcomer008, the driver shouldn't freeze the whole system because it can't connect [13:29] guys wireless working here , with ndiswrapper , but cannot detect my network , any idea?

[13:30] ikernel:thanks. reading it now [13:30] Myrtti: let me check, brb [13:30] amerio, me here but not here; done bathing, lunch now :) [13:30] bXi: probably some backported anti-phishing feature or something [13:30] ikernel:i think i have seen this before...udf format from cli. will give it a go [13:30] Myrtti: he's just updating from beta though so dist-upgrade should be enough right? [13:30] indian_munnda: hold alt, hit F2, type gconf-editor [13:30] iKernel whats the package name exactly? [13:30] Can anyone help me with some newbie issues I am having? :) [13:31] iKernel why is that, it just wont give me a working desktop, if I enable it? [13:31] jrib: *shrug* [13:31] DracoZA, yeah, it's been replaced, check the changelog to find what to use now [13:31] intrinsyx: i got it and it has opened a new window like reg-edit in windows [13:31] Myrtti: current dist not found in meta-release file [13:31] jrib: I don't do betas :-P [13:31] <|Dede|> How do I release my mouse, when I press Alt+ENter to get out of a full screen [13:31] hi all [13:31] indian_munnda: should be somewhere around /desktop/gnome/interface [13:31] does anyone here have rez-looks packages? [13:31] iKernel because it says that its in use, but not enabled...which is weird when never gave me any problem in any of the past releases! [13:31] rafelbev: then the updates haven't probably yet reached your mirror [13:31] am using UK [13:32] ah [13:32] indian_munnda: Most of the gconf keys have descriptions which will tell you what the options do. [13:32] rafelbev: if you get a message saying "nothing to update" lalala [13:32] bXi: since they stick to a certain FF version they backport security fixes from newer versions, this may break over-complex stuff like JS toolkits... but this is all speculation, you need to get to the JS error message somehow [13:32] i have wireless card problems, in my restricted device manager it says its in use but theres no wireless option in my connections tab :S can anyone help? [13:32] rafelbev: funky [13:32] <|Dede|> How do I release my mouse, when I press Alt+ENter to get out of a full screen [13:32] so is anyone having a problem with administrative privs?

[13:32] iKernel: Right, I have compiled and installed. [13:33] I have a laptop, and I just did a full wipe and reinstall of hardy from scratch. I used to have a little *tray* icon to set my CPU speed, but I can't remember the package name to reinstall it. (No, it's not the one in gnome-applets, called cpufreq-selector) Would anyone happen to know? [13:33] NeT_DeMoN same problem here =) [13:33] Anyone know a good DASHBOARD for UBUNTU? Like Apple's dashboard? [13:33] Myrtti: the mirror is updated [13:33] amerio: it seems to be everywhere, what driver do you have?

[13:35] Myrtti: if the mirror is updated then something is wrong [13:35] rafelbev: prolly yes [13:35] Net_DeMoN type lspci , you can know the model under thernet controller [13:35] what should me sources.list look like ? [13:35] amerio: dont i need to type 'sudo lspci' for that info? [13:35] question, would I have any side effects (except for loosing about 500mb of memory) for installing a 32 bit OS on a system with 4gb of ram? [13:35] Eh, I'll come back in a couple days and ask again when everything with hardy's settled down. [13:35] Myrtti: what should my sources.list look like ? [13:35] hi, im trying to update from ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 but it crashes when starts to download the upgrade tool (1 of 2), any alternative please? [13:36] tar up your homedir and do a clean install [13:36] or pull down the hardy iso and stick it in, it should offer to upgrade for you. [13:36] NeT_DeMoN try "lshw -C network" [13:37] intrinsyx: i m able to reduce the size of the icons but i m not able to reduce the spacing. [13:37] Hi. I have my root partition as reiserfx, every time I boot I get a fsck error. it comes down to: fsck died with exit status 9. i can crtl d and ubuntu starts up fine, how can I get rid of this error? [13:37] garu have you enabled restricted drivers, or selected them for install from symantic? [13:37] Hey: I have an AMD 64bit Dual Core running heron. I can't play Mp4 and .swf (ie Youtube) hasn't got full functionality. Yes I have GNome codecs installed according to applications manager [13:37] intrinsyx: actually i m not getting that option [13:38] indian_munnda: it's in there somewhere, but I dunno where offhand. [13:38] IsotropicSpin, do you have the non-free flash plugins [13:38] isotropic: have you got medibuntu repository enabled? === uChuL is now known as enon_laknad [13:38] my update manager goes dark-any help? [13:38] do a google search for medibuntu and add it [13:38] moDumassest I've selected and downloaded them from the restricted drivers manager.and it says that its in use. [13:38] arvind_khadri: i have the adobe flash plugins on in firefox [13:38] use ubuntu-restricted-extras gives u all plugins needed [13:38] roocraig its normal , that means its loading , just give it a lil time [13:38] after a while of waiting it says "failed to extract" (in the terminal it outputs "extracting '/tmp/tmpGtUEXs/hardy.tar.gz'") any idea? [13:39] amerio: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) is mine [13:39] chronographer: i don't know, how would i check that? [13:39] * intrinsyx wonders how much bandwidth us.archive.ubuntu.org has chewed through in the last 48 hours.... [13:39] Net_Demon same here [13:39] roocraig: mine did that, but I had to kill it and restart it [13:39] IsotropicSpin, which file formats cant you play [13:39] roocraig: it's likely cause the mirrors are all busy....did you try finding a different mirror? [13:39] my screensaver preferences won't load-any help for that issue too? [13:39] amerio: wow, alot of problems with Atheros [13:39] its not added as deafult, you need to add it as a repository, google search 'medibuntu hardy' [13:39] garu have you gone to system>administration>appearance and selected anything other than "none" [13:39] anyone know how to DUAL BOOT MULTILE LINUX operating systems - without the grub screwing up??? [13:39] Net_Demon at least I made a step forward , now wireless enabled with ndiswrapper but cannot detect my network [13:39] Hardy switched over to ath5k from madwifi. [13:40] arghh, its sounds like im listening to scratched cds [13:40] ath5k does not support all the devices madwifi did. [13:40] I am able to play mp3's and I didn't install anything fancy, apart from amybe mpd [13:40] moDumassest but when I enable it,it asks to restart the system, and then it wont give me a desktop.after the loading screen. [13:40] amerio: yeah, last i heard ndiswrapper would work [13:40] *maybe [13:40] Atheros is a complete fail for me -_- I hate using Ndiswrapper, doesn't work after reboot. [13:40] but i dont know how to use it :P [13:40] how do I find a different mirror with update manager? [13:41] garu, ok that blows, [13:41] ToM-X: there's a madwifi howto for hardy on the forums. [13:41] Net_Demon yeah its working but cannot detect any network grrrrr [13:41] IsotropicSpin, which files?? [13:41] amerio: wow [13:41] ToM-X it doesnt work because its not loaded into modprobe [13:41] moDumassest that's weirdest thing. because I got the effects enabled, and they are working, but very slowly! [13:41] amerio: how do you use ndiswrapper? [13:41] Can someone help me with screensaver preferences issue please? [13:41] ? [13:41] roocraig: launch synaptic first...go to settings...then repositories....then use the drop down to "Download From"....hit "Other" and ask it to select the best mirror.... [13:41] arvind_khadri: so far i know Mp4 and SWF [13:42] my installer crashed during the setting up packages part with "about 2 minutes" left. it hung while starting bluetooth. i did a force restart. is there anything for me to do except a clean install? [13:42] roocraig: system>admin>software sources>download from>choose server [13:42] garu nvidia or ati? [13:42] Cheers instrinsyx: amerio: It works, every other reboot you could say, very unreliable. [13:42] amerio: i downloaded it but i dont know how to install it :S [13:42] Net_Demon hold on i'll get u the guide i followed [13:42] how do i make text bigger in chat so i can read it easier [13:42] Latest Xorg is a PITA with monitor resolutions -- it will disable valid modes that used to work. Check your xorg.conf [13:42] roocraig: then hit reload and close Synaptic...then run update manager again [13:42] amerio: ok, thanks [13:42] to update to 8.04 shall i download the alternative cd right? [13:42] I can't for the life of me get my resolution to be saved between sessions, it always resets to 1680x1050 instead of 1920x1200 [13:42] hello,is there a command in order to purge old kernels? [13:42] did u try doing a text only install? [13:42] moDumassest I can't even open the screen resolution settings.which is weird [13:42] lesjohn [13:43] moDumassest ATI [13:43] GNUtoo: remove the packages [13:43] mlw1: Set your hsync and vsync in xorg.conf and then set modes "1920x1200" === illovae is now known as illavae [13:43] no [13:43] how do i do that [13:43] garu. man i have never had an ati card so i cant help you, if i hear anything though il pass it on [13:43] net_demon : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512828 [13:43] !ati [13:43] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:43] v0lksman, but i have to remove the kernels,its headers,its restricted modules etc... [13:43] N1NCHN41L5: is it too late for me to do text-only now? [13:43] amerio: thanks [13:43] my ubuntu or xubuntu would ALWAYS hang [13:43] !sound [13:43] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [13:44] Tom-x how do you manage to use ur atheros without ndiswrapper? [13:44] i have problems getting the "unlock" button to work.. right now i can't change any system settings [13:44] hey, can anyone tell me how ubuntu sets up partitioning when you use the guided setup? [13:44] GNUtoo: yeah...just make sure you select the OLD packages and not the current....each will have a meta package that will remove the headers and stuff iirc... [13:44] so just go an download the ubuntu or whichever u want alt cd [13:44] and i have added my account to policykit and admin group [13:44] v0lksman, ok thanks [13:44] moDumassest ok...thanks alot === po1ter is now known as polter [13:44] then install from ther - itll do a full disk install and u dont have to worry about data on there now [13:44] amerio: I don't lol, I use ethernet if ndiswrapper is not working.. [13:44] erik__: are you sure your user is part of the "admin" group? [13:45] halcyonCorsair: you can choose to use the whole disk, or cut some off your largest existing partition [13:45] hi [13:45] Hi... i normally install "gnome-bluetooth" and" gnome-vfs-obexftp" on a fresh install. Are these needed in 8.04? [13:45] IsotropicSpin, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35437 [13:45] v0lksman: i have made sure it's added to the group in /etc/group [13:45] v0lksman: should i check anywhere else? [13:45] emorris: yes but if you use the whole disk, does it partition it and split some off for swap, or what? [13:45] ToM-X you know I never had a problem using atheros on gutsy without ndiswrapper , but after installing hardy , im using ndiswrapper for the 1st time , its working everytime I boot , but cannot detect any network [13:45] is there a tool in gnome (ubuntu 8.04) to manage the volumes/disks ?? [13:45] ToM-X, how's it going? [13:45] halcyonCorsair: i think so [13:45] moDumassest the thing is, the effects are enabled, without the driver being enabled!i never had any problem like this before! [13:45] Hey [13:46] chazco: none of them [13:46] kim_, gparted [13:46] avrind_khadri: thx. will have a look [13:46] erik__: nope...as long as it was there that's a good start....if it wasn't and you just added it you will need to log out and back in for it to take effect...are you connecting to the machine remotely or are you on console? [13:46] amerio, have you tried to modprobe ath_pci [13:46] I mean a tool to manage mountpoints [13:46] iKernel blacklisted [13:46] lesjohn - dont worry - even though its text only install - u get full gui system an all when its installed [13:46] v0lksman: this is a desktop computer. no remote connection [13:46] v0lksman: i added it and logged back in.. no change [13:46] Thanks slytherin [13:46] amerio, that's strange why would it be blacklisted.... [13:46] iKernel: Still searching :) [13:46] kimx: what king od management do you want? [13:46] iKernel I did it lol [13:47] Question with GRUB. I just ran "sudo grub" and had it reinstall itself. I changed the boot order in the BIOS, now i'm in my linux distribution. But I had to change from hd(1,0) to hd(0,0) which isn't right. Can anyone explain to me why they are off? [13:47] ToM-X, searching for what? === yarddog- is now known as yarddog_ [13:47] v0lksman: clicking the unlock button just freezes the window for a moment and gives me an windowsy "unknown error", heh [13:47] amerio, well remove the black list, ath_pci is needed [13:47] login preferences trouble [13:47] erik__: I remote to my desktop all the time and PolicyKit is picky about that...that's why I ask.... [13:47] does anyone know if the gnome desktop package is still broken for the server install? [13:47] Yes, i got broadcom to work!!! [13:47] hey how do i downgrade the version of my bluez-utils? [13:47] slytherin: I don't understand your question [13:47] iKernel but im using atheros windows driver on ndiswrapper [13:47] dual booting linux OS"s ???????? [13:47] amerio, well don't [13:47] How do I downgrade my firefox so I can installplugins that will work? [13:47] amerio, you should be able to get ath_pci to work [13:48] kimx: when you say mount point management, do you want to create them or what? [13:48] kimx: you can change the mountpoints in places>computer, right click on ur part.>volume>settings [13:48] iKernel: How come it's saying my WIFI is not in use on Hardware Driver? Is it because I have Ndiswrapper enabled? [13:48] can anyone tell me the version of the kernel used by 8.04 before any updates? [13:48] iKernel so no need for ndiswrapper? [13:48] erik__: well that is about all the troubleshooting I know of to make policykit work...hahaha...you may want to try re-installing the packages in Synaptic as I've seen it help some people....but unforunately that's about all I can offer... :) [13:48] amerio, no [13:48] v0lksman: ah ok.. bummer [13:48] shane2_: was there any bug for that? [13:48] ToM-X, I don't know, but I thought you were going to compile and install madwifi? [13:48] Lainy, get the .deb from somewhere and remove the present and install it [13:48] shane2_: and how did you try to install gnome desktop? which package did you choose? [13:48] iKernel: I have. [13:48] slytherin, hmm, I think, but I can't remember, ahh, seems someone did file one. [13:48] bug for screensaver preferences? [13:48] iKernel ok but when ndiswrapper disabled , wireless doesnt work even if the athpci is enabled [13:48] i might do a fresh install after work [13:48] ToM-X, oh, okay, try a modprobe ath_pci then [13:48] nickthorley: I think 2.6.24.16 (from memory on an upgrade to 8.04 I've just done) [13:48] arvind_khadri: Thank you. [13:49] emorris: thanks [13:49] amerio, you probably need madwifi-tools [13:49] slytherin, apt-get install gnome; apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment; apt-get install gnome-desktop [13:49] hey folks. just got a quick question. Rather than a fresh install I chose the upgrade option and so far everything seems to have gone smoothly and the system seems to running well. I take it my system is now the same as it would be with a clean install of 8? [13:49] slytherin, none of them worked [13:49] Lainy, but why do you want it [13:49] djones: thanks - just trying to find out if my wireless problem may be fixed in a later kernel [13:49] emorris: you dont need to put the /media/ in though [13:49] iKernel 1st I installed madwifi , wireless worked but same problem as ndiswrapper , wireless working and no network detection [13:49] erik__: I have Hardy on about 5 machines and it does work...sounds like you have a package issue of some sort... [13:49] FooAtari: Close enough. [13:49] emorris: but I need to configure a volume to be mounted on startup [13:49] **kimx [13:49] Does anyone know how to downgrade bluez-utils to ver <3.0? [13:49] iKernel: No Message appears. [13:50] thanks intrinsyx so nothing im missing out on or anything? [13:50] anybody help with a sound issue-headphone sound but no speaker sound? [13:50] ToM-X, ok, now try wlanconfig ath0 what does that give you [13:50] where can i find log files? [13:50] FooAtari: Pulseaudio is now the default, so you should probably install the pa packages if you wanna manage your sound properly [13:50] mattycoze: why, is there any problem? [13:50] my problem, any help would be awesome http://fixunix.com/ubuntu/369514-glitching-sound-ubuntu-7-10-8-04-a.html [13:50] can anyone tell me if its possible to find out if the kernel from the media may have been patched and what was fixed [13:50] the "Unknown error" error message does not help me very much [13:50] kimx: i know you can put it in fstab, but i dont know of a tool to do it [13:50] iKernel: Should I disable Ndiswrapper?? === illavae is now known as illovae [13:50] ToM-X, yes [13:50] emorris: there was a tool since hutsy [13:50] erik__: Yeah policykit needs some polishing...I think it was one of the "rushed" packages for this release... [13:51] iKernel how to edit blacklist file and modprobe conf file? [13:51] FooAtari: And make sure you got ubuntu-desktop, that will ensure all of the default hardy packages were installed [13:51] slytherin, nah i wanted to try something from a few years ago === yarddog_ is now known as yarddog [13:51] iKernel: ath0 No such device [13:51] kimx:hmm [13:51] madwifi tools? [13:51] kinx: have you tried gnome-volume-manager? [13:51] ToM-X, grr, um, try wlanconfig wifi0 [13:51] !madwifi [13:51] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:52] iKernel: Same again lol [13:52] any audio/sound gurus here? [13:52] Hi! I'm having some problems with the sound after installing Hardy. I think it has something to do with the new soundsystem and the fact that I have two sound cards installed.. [13:52] Dual Booting Linux with another Linux - Any Help???????? [13:52] I can no longer mark a thread as solved? [13:52] ToM-X, okay, you've disabled ndiswrapper right? try modprobe ath_pci again [13:52] can someone help me. i'm having a major issue with flash and firefox. it will start playing a video and then stop. i've restarted firefox and even reinstalled it. [13:52] Fome: install the pa-devchooser and select the proper default sound card, or enable simultaneous output [13:52] Lainy: no they are yet to enable that feature [13:52] iKernel: Hold on I shall reboot. [13:52] ToM-X, then try iwconfig [13:52] emorris: Ok, thanks. [13:53] ToM-X, yeah might not be bad idea [13:53] Morning all: I have an oddball issue with Ubuntu. This morning I went to play a Quicktime movie. It popped up, asked if I wanted to find the right codec, it found two and I installed the FFMPEG codecs. Now, whenever I go to open another quicktime movie, it again pops up the request to search for a codec because 'The codec to play this movie is not installed'. Anyway to stop that. [13:53] intrinsyx: there is no package with that name === fdd-0 is now known as fdd [13:53] er... sec, lemme look it up [13:53] Dual Booting Linux with another Linux - Any Help???????? [13:53] mattycoze: you will find the packages from gutsy or or feisty, search on http://packages.ubuntu.com [13:53] NINCHNAILS: I do that - the last linux installed is the grub that is used [13:53] arrhhhgg this is hurting my brain [13:53] I downloaded Ubuntu .iso file. How i should write it on cd. Some how i can't make it right. [13:53] N1NCHN41L5, only if you shoot [13:54] N1NCHN41L5, omg, just throw the linux installation disk in and you can partition your existing linux partition [13:54] how do i install a flash plugin-rpm package? [13:54] artti, use brasero [13:54] my wireless network adapter on my laptop stopped working after I upgraded to hardy. what can I do? [13:54] N1NCHN41L5, and then just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:54] fome: sorry, it's "padevchooser" === shane2_ is now known as shane2peru [13:54] N1NCHN41L5, and put in your other linux distribution [13:54] N1NCHN41L5, job done [13:54] roocraig: don't use rpm package. there is flashplugin in ubuntu repositories [13:54] ere4si can i pm u???? [13:54] i have 4 sep partitions - some of the puppy os require there OWN hd [13:54] hmm [13:54] anyone here had intel wireless 3945 problems and managed to fix them? [13:54] i have the sound stuttering problem as well === madjawa is now known as MadJawa [13:55] N1NCHN41L5, well then bad luck [13:55] i tried selecting OSS in the system->prefs->sound dialogue [13:55] but no change [13:55] erik__, are you running esound? [13:55] erik__, no no no no NO [13:55] NO you way of just install and go DOESNT work - it chewed up ubuntu grub and its own grub wouldnt load [13:55] NINCHN4IL5: k [13:55] erik__, use alsa, and ONLY alsa, everything else is crap [13:55] leaving comp UNBOOTABLE [13:55] Fome: Fire up synaptic, search for pulseaudio and grab padevchooser, paman, paprefs and pavucontrol === torsten is now known as Xervu [13:56] erik__, unless you're running a big music recording station, which you should probably use a mac anyway, in that case, you should probably run pulseaudio as well or something [13:56] N1NCHN41L5: caps are bad, mmmkay? [13:56] uh? [13:56] roocraig: install package flashplugin-nonfree [13:56] i switched to all alsa now [13:56] ? [13:56] N1NCHN41L5, then you should've told it to not touch ubuntu's grub [13:56] can someone help me. i'm having a major issue with flash and firefox. it will start playing a video and then stop. i've restarted firefox and even reinstalled it. [13:56] erik__, good [13:56] there should be a disk manager? How can I start it? [13:56] erik__: um, yeah...what everyone else is saying is true. oss is very similar to ALSA, but inferior, and has been obsolete (due to ALSA) for about 6 years. Don't use that. :-) [13:56] do i need to restart anything to make vlc use alsa? [13:56] iKernel how to remove ndiswrapper from modprobe? [13:57] kinx: have you tried gnome-volume-manager? [13:57] When burning image, what speed i should use? [13:57] intrinsyx: they are installed... I'm not sure I understand how to continue... [13:57] erik__: Your system doesn't even really support oss anymore, anyway...all that would be doing is ALSA simulating the old oss. [13:57] amerio, modprobe -r [13:57] N1NCHN41L5: then reinstall ubuntu's grub. fire up the livecd, open up terminal, run sudo grub, and from the grub prompt, find /boot/grub/stage1, it'll return the device it found it on, root , setup [13:57] erik__: restart vlc perhaps [13:57] artti, use somewhere around 4x or so to be safe [13:57] artti; as low as possible [13:57] yeah, i just read this: http://fixunix.com/ubuntu/369514-glitching-sound-ubuntu-7-10-8-04-a.html [13:57] When running video converter(s) system crashes when ... 3d graphics enabled ... then when surfing win firefox ,,, is this a memory leak .... could it be a flash plugin ...... [13:57] describing the same problem [13:57] Fome: run padevchooser, and you should see a little "sheild". Click it to set a default card for output. [13:58] erik__: have you changed the option in vlc to use alsa? [13:58] ToM-X, how's it going? [13:58] Now it is 4th time when i try to write image on cd. [13:58] ToM-X, did you run iwconfig? [13:58] can someone please tell me how to log out of GNOME using the keyboard? [13:58] artti; what brand on cd's? [13:59] sailaway85: is that a single problem or multiple problems? Can you please rephrase your question? [13:59] dooglus, ctrl+alt+backspace [13:59] sailaway85, that would needed to be looked in strace [13:59] iKernel: I want to log out of GNOME, not kill X. any idea? [13:59] dragon_, Digidata CD-R [13:59] erik__: sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-pulse [13:59] iKernel: I can click the little green man thing, but I can't see the dialog that pops up [13:59] dooglus: Ctrl + Alt + Delete should bring logout/shutdown dialog [13:59] hey while i'm here, is there any way to get rid of that annoyign error beep [13:59] slytherin: no, that was the problem. thanks! [13:59] dooglus, set a log out keyboard shortcut [13:59] slytherin: yes, I'm sure it does, but I can't see it [13:59] intrinsyx: sorry, for being stupid, but there is no obvious place to set the default card. (after I click the thing there is a list of different options) [13:59] Net_Demon anything new? [13:59] iKernel: how? [13:59] artti; tip: use tab :) it's dagon_, burn on TDK or Fujifilm, works perfect [13:59] dooglus, ctrl+alt+del [14:00] slytherin: i thought it was grabbing the default one from gnome [14:00] dooglus, on mine it is system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts [14:00] arvind_khadri: when I do that, a dialog pops up. what next? [14:00] Fome: Look in your tray for an icon that looks like a plug [14:00] how do I get synaptic to download files--doesn't want to work for me [14:00] slytherin one problem crahes when video converting.... 3d enabled and surfing with firefox ..... [14:00] intrinsyx: yes, I clicked that [14:00] so, now it's only the administrative problem i need to solve [14:00] dooglus, use the log out thats it :) [14:00] I installed the 32bit because I did not like the 64bit, now I have them both! How do I get rid of the 64bit installation? [14:00] arvind_khadri: I can't see it. can I use the keyboard to navigate that dialog? [14:00] intrinsyx: but then I don't know how to continue [14:00] oh thnk christ i fixed that [14:00] Fome: select Volume Control, Output devices tab, look for a little sheild [14:01] sailaway85: for video converting you will have to log a bug against the package you are using. But I haven't seen the one where FF crashes when 3d is unabled [14:01] dooglus, you'll need a mouse in order to set the keyboard short cut, btw [14:01] dooglus, try using tab in that box not sure whether it'll work or not [14:01] Right click, "Default" [14:01] iKernel: I have a mouse [14:01] dagon_, then i have to buy those. i hoped that i can get try new Ubuntu. [14:01] !madwifi [14:01] whats the link for the ubuntu updates ftp area [14:01] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:01] can someone help me. i'm having a major issue with flash and firefox. it will start playing a video and then stop. i've restarted firefox and even reinstalled it. [14:01] arvind_khadri: I have tried, and also the arrow keys. but I can't see the dialog, so I can't tell what those keys are doing [14:01] dooglus, then use it and set a keyboard short cut [14:01] dooglus: Can you please explain what do you mean by 'I can't see it'? [14:01] dooglus, what exactly is your problem [14:01] ToM-X, tell me have you run iwconfig yet????????????????????? [14:02] slytherin, am on it [14:02] Hello, can someone tell me how to boot without starting X just once? I need to do this in order to reinstall the NVIDIA drivers. [14:02] Fome: or if you want output from both cards, click the plug, configure local sound server, simultaneous output tab, checkmark the box. [14:02] amerio: no but im giving up [14:02] dooglus: you can simple use Alt + L to activate the logout button [14:02] arvind_khadri: I want to log out. the dialog that appears when I try to log out is in the middle of the screen. the middle of the screen is all dead pixels, so I can't see it, and I can't move it elsewhere. I think I need to use the keyboard [14:02] i will just stick to hardwire or vista :( [14:02] !audio [14:02] 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).

[14:04] what is the best dictionary program for linux? except stardict [14:04] slytherin: when using DeVeDe or tovin or vso(wine) vso(vbox).... as soon as I go into firefox system resets ......no log [14:04] dagon_, i would like to make new install. But when writing on cd doesn't work then i make upgrade. [14:04] IsotropicSpin: did you try VLC or mplayer? [14:04] albech: what kind of issue? [14:05] v0lksman: i did, but that was before medibuntu install [14:05] should i try again? [14:05] ere4si, the videos start for about 3 seconds and then just stop. they continue to download but won't play past 3 seconds [14:05] sailaway85: that is weird, any chance it is a problem with RAM [14:05] firefox and flash crash when i browse to youtube.... is this a known problem? [14:05] is j2re1.4 gone for good from hardy? [14:05] dagon_, currently i use Ubuntu for 32-bit system but i have 64-bit system. [14:05] slytherin: i have tried several burning software and they seems to burn just fine, but its like the disk isnt finalized so it cannot be read [14:05] IsotropicSpin: naw if VLC or mplayer didn't play it then I'd say there may be something wrong with the file...can you test a different file? [14:05] mattk, i have same problem. [14:05] is somthing like deamon tools but for linux ??? [14:05] mattk, it is and i'm having sort of the same issue except mine just won't play [14:05] mattk, i know why is that. [14:05] sailaway85, do a ram test [14:05] jerzyk86: mount -o loop [14:05] artti; okey I see :) try burning as slow as possible, like 2x or 4x [14:06] artti: cool, ok so we can log a bug? [14:06] dagon_: why? [14:06] I always have done that way. [14:06] albech: are you trying to burn any ubuntu image? Are you sure that image itself is not corrupt? [14:06] v0lksman: yeah i will check it out now [14:06] mattk, i know that flash don't work on 64-bit system. [14:06] mattk, no, it's always been that way and i've fixed it before but can't now [14:06] cgentry72: I would think that might be a loose heatsink or fan not working - the software is there to run the vid [14:06] slytherin: did ram check ... ok .... going to remove macrovision plugin in firefox.... and try it.... [14:06] slytherin: yes, the image can be loaded with isomount etc. and its the latest ubuntu image [14:06] ive got 64bit, and flash works fine. [14:06] artti, flash works on a 64 bit one [14:07] net_demon: i tried to install last night but it wouldnt pick up my card either - it worked fine in 7.10 [14:07] ere4si, that's kind of strange cause it's worked yesterday [14:07] v0lksman; why what? [14:07] artti, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [14:07] albech: still it would be good to verify the checksum of image. [14:07] nickthorley: what driver you have? [14:07] mysling, i've got 64bit also and it worked fine yesterday [14:07] artti i'm not running 64 bit.... I've got the same deal as cgentry72 plays for a couple of seconds and then you lose the lot... also there is no sound at all [14:07] arvind_khadri, done that several times and it is said that it won't work on 64-bit system. [14:07] net_demon: not sure - my card is intel one and used a restricted driver before [14:07] artti, its works for me [14:08] hi! what's the best way to edit partitions with a GUI? gparted? [14:08] jerzyk86: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [14:08] artti: tried 8.04? [14:08] dagon_: why are you telling artti to use specific brands and slow down his burn? [14:08] cgentry72: My only thought ... [14:08] v0lksman; speaking out of experience [14:08] or just use the mount command for loopback === weed is now known as blackness [14:08] fdr: yes === blackness is now known as weed [14:08] mysling, burning 8.04 image on disk [14:08] nickthorley: atheros is worse, trust me ;) [14:08] v0lksman; -out of + from [14:08] dagon_: issues like that are completely drive specific... [14:08] arti - or just do sudo aptitue ubuntu-restricted-extras, gives u everything [14:08] v0lksman; not always [14:08] artti: im sure you will have no problems with it :D [14:09] slytherin: also have divx web plugin ... going to remove.... could it be a memory overlap or leak? [14:09] hey all hardy rocks :) [14:09] sailaway85: form where did you get the divx plugin? [14:09] artti, hey ok i guess there was a bug for that,but that was in 7.10 maybe the tweak can work for you [14:09] net_demon: i think the wireless support is very bad in linux general - it always seems to be the problem area - I wouldnt mind but i would have thought intel chipset would work perfectly but it seems not [14:09] GPARTED works GREAT - just make sure what u are trying do do (drive) isnt mounted [14:09] any news on unlock button not working? [14:09] Hello, I just changed my openssh config, but when I try to restart it via "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" it says not such file or directory. How do I restart OpenSSH then? Thanks. [14:09] jerzyk86: there's also a GUI for it called gnomeiso [14:09] dagon_: uhm...ok...I build machines for a living...I use cheap generic CDs on usually generic drives and haven't had issues for years.... [14:09] Hi [14:09] Again, it is just copied .iso file to disk. [14:09] hello, I'm having trouble writing to a particular partition, but with only one program. I have to run it as root for it to work. Any thoughts? [14:10] pallavi, hi [14:10] nickthorley: yeah, linux does suck with wireless [14:10] daft punk sounds really scratchy, i cant seem to fix this, has anyone had sound issues thus far? [14:10] thx :) [14:10] I am new to ubuntu [14:10] Right, I'm back with my crappy WIFI problem :P [14:10] v0lksman; that's good, really. But I've had bad experience with lowprice cd's, no matter what burner I've used [14:10] moDumassest: what is that [14:10] jerzyk86: actually, it's called gmountiso [14:10] v0lksman: i have had experiences with disks too, where it helped to slow down the burn speed [14:10] can u please tell me how to login as a root user [14:10] pallavi, do you have a support question [14:10] music is really scratchy [14:10] pallavi, why do you want to do that [14:10] i'm removing anything that has to do with firefox and then reinstalling flash [14:10] using alsa, have googled it no one knows [14:10] !root [14:10] 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 [14:10] jerzyk86: 'sudo apt-get install gmountiso' [14:10] !tell pallavi about sudo [14:10] pallavi SUDO [14:10] slytherin: Actually I'm not sure... I think it came from firefox? [14:10] if a wifi network appears in the nm-applet, does it mean that my wifi work? My wifi LED lights up during boot time then dims, is this a problem? [14:11] !sudo | pallavi [14:11] pallavi: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [14:11] net_demon: i used to use fedora but when got a laptop it wouldnt work with wireless and thus tried ubuntu which worked first time so was really happy but then new version of ubuntu comes out and no support - great [14:11] v0lksman: cant say anything about disks since they are mostly produced on the same factories, just added different logos [14:11] because when i am trying to copy folders it is saying operation not permitted [14:11] albech: I'm not saying you WON'T have issues...but since we don't know what make/model artti has it seems silly to jump the gun and tell him to slow it down and buy new CDs [14:11] !alsa [14:11] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [14:11] sudo apt-get install program === ToM-X1 is now known as ToM_x [14:11] LainIwakura: are you sure OpenSSH is installed? /etc/init.d/ssh should be there [14:11] IntangibleLiquid, it usually means you're on the good way [14:11] !unlock [14:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about unlock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:11] or sudo aptitude install program [14:11] Ah, iKernel has gone -_- [14:11] IntangibleLiquid: yes, it should be working if there's a wireless network in nm-applet [14:11] no luck with that [14:11] nickthorley: its always worked for my intels, just atheros is the first problem ive had [14:11] hello [14:11] room [14:11] ya i can login as root in a terminal [14:11] pallavi you cant copy paste into root folder [14:12] v0lksman, it didn't remove my linux-headers... [14:12] pallavi, i meant in X [14:12] i just upgraded to the new 8.04,but i cant seem to get my emerald themes to work.. [14:12] ifireball: I only need openssh-client, right? [14:12] any ideas? [14:12] i am not pasteing into root folder [14:12] hello, upgraded ubuntu yesterday, now it wont make it past the login screen anything i can do? [14:12] dagon_ albech: All I'm saying is the best way to know is to try burning at full speed on the disks you have...If that doesn't work then try slowing it down...if that fails then maybe look at new media... [14:12] hello, I'm having trouble writing to a particular partition, but with only one program. I have to run it as root for it to work. Any thoughts? [14:12] I like you the way you tube works in totem :) [14:12] i am copying from the root thats all [14:12] sailaway85: Can you tell me what is the Filename for divx plugin? You can type about:plugins in the address location of firefox [14:12] v0lksman: i totally agree with that [14:12] : thanks, I just cannot test it because the wifi is encrypted, but I did attempt to connect to a free wifi this afternoon without success. How can I activate the LED? My function key does not work for wifi [14:12] pallavi, to where [14:13] GNUtoo: what package did you end up removing? [14:13] LainIwakura: depends on what you are trying to do, /etc/init.d/ssh restarts the server... === luke__ is now known as kazade [14:13] lol [14:13] Ruben? [14:13] ben er eindelijk:) [14:13] pallavi: it depends on what you are trying to access. Not everything in root folder has read access to everyone [14:13] Hi [14:13] ya [14:13] slytherin: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [14:13] hi [14:13] v0lksman: but slowing down the burn is not a bad suggestion, and it definitely wont cause more failures ;) [14:13] hi guys, just installed hardy. but i cannot install build-essential, has anyone experience the same? [14:13] I hope that Ubuntu 8.04(32-bit) works fine on AMD64. [14:13] IntangibleLiquid, check your syslog to see if you have any changes when using the function key [14:13] sorry i made a mistake [14:13] hi [14:13] sudo aptitude install is easier [14:13] what i am trying to say is [14:13] artti: it does.... :) [14:14] ifireball: Well, I added "ServerAliveInterval 120" to ssh_config, so I thought I needed to restart it so the changes will go into effect. But there is no ssh restart... [14:14] i don't understand one thing, is UBUNTU 8.04 compatible with standart French Packages [14:14] ? [14:14] ari_stress, put in the cd and install build-essential [14:14] I updated to hardy herron today but when it restarted it just gives me a load of text for an hour then hangs, i had to put the 7.10 live cd back in [14:14] albech: not when you are eager to get going and you have to wait 45 minutes for a burn... :) [14:14] ifireball: I am not running a ssh server on this computer, so I don't think I need openssh-server [14:14] im running ubuntu in safemode and it could run HAL what does that mean? [14:14] slytherin: or you can add medibuntu to you apt sources and 'sudo apt-get install w32codecs' [14:14] I am not touching the root contents [14:14] anyone exccept for me having problems with policykit and "unlock" button in system prefs after upgrade? [14:14] bhsx: why are you telling me this? [14:14]  brackettt: hi [14:14] you asked for the divx package name... [14:14] v0lksman: ahh you talking about failed burns due to flying cdrom burners? ;) [14:14]  brackettt: did you gust update [14:14] hey, does anyone know for sure how the heron image is lisensed? [14:14] is there an address i can browse the ubuntu updates area - browse the files etc so that I can view a list - like browsing the ftp area for them for instance [14:15] What is actually the easiest way to use java (in firefox) with ubuntu 8.04 amd64? [14:15] bhsx: No, I am trying to debug the problem another user is facing. [14:15] LainIwakura: like the name implies, ServerAliveInterval is a server configuration directive, you should be placing it on the server... [14:15] erik__: did you try re-installing policykit and policykit-gnome? [14:15] ah [14:15] crashanddie: thanks! I'll do that === falk_ is now known as Lamia^^ [14:15] only what i want to do is i want to copy the dir which contains c files [14:15] v0lksman: nope.. i'll try that now i guess [14:15] What is the command-line command to download the source code of a DEB program package? [14:15] pallavi: Which file are you trying to access? [14:15] albech: zaclty...hahahah [14:15] which is in home folder [14:15] ifireball: Okay, thanks. [14:15] nickthorley : maybe packages.ubuntu.com is what you are looking for? === Lamia^^ is now known as Lamia_ [14:15] timo yeah yesterday. actually restarted the comp today. and now i can only log in with safe more [14:15] pallavi, to whre?? [14:15] pallavi: copy to where? [14:15] my own c files [14:15] also, I cannot find any option to disable join, quit messages. I'm getting too dizzy [14:15] using x-chat [14:15] ifireball: But isn't ssh_config the config file for the client and sshd_config the one for the server? Thanks for your help. [14:15] arthur, what you mean by using java? [14:15] LainIwakura: no wait, my bad [14:15] to a pendrive [14:15] slytherin: plugin from avi video [14:15] java applets === Lamia_ is now known as Lamia55 [14:16] i got a .sql file, how do i put it into a SQL db on my comp [14:16] mode* [14:16] ifireball: Oh [14:16] @artti: java applets [14:16]  brackettt: i had same issue , simple dpkg-reconfigure -a [14:16] hmm, how do i reinstall packages? [14:16] arthur, like installing? [14:16] sailaway85: can you post any screenshot? [14:16] for those having issues with flash and firefox, i suggest removing all plugins for firefox and removing flash, then reinstall flash and reboot. that worked for me [14:16] i have to remove them and install them? or is there a reinstall flag? [14:16] @ artti yeah but which package? [14:16] timo type that into the terminal? [14:16] pallavi, ok type this cp /home/pallavi/*.c /path/to/where/it/shld/be/copied [14:16] arthur, sun-java6-plugin i think [14:16] hello, I'm having trouble writing to a particular partition, but with only one program. I have to run it as root for it to work, though the folder is owned by my user. Any thoughts? [14:17] pallavi: what is the file system on the drive? is it FAT or NTFS? [14:17] Hello folks [14:17] is it possible to change the key bindings in various GTK/gnome apps? -- like gnome-terminal for example [14:17] @ artti : I will try - thanks! [14:17] yeh sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [14:17] LainIwakura: yes, its a client directive, essentially /etc/ssh_config is the system-wide client configuration file, changes to it will take place the next time you run the client (e.g. the next time you run an "ssh" command) [14:17] arthur: search software packages for 'icedtea' [14:17] hey guys, my hardy wont partition my harddrive correctly so I will do it manually, what do i need to do? [14:17] @ bhsx: Ok [14:17] timo, v0lksman: hey! it worked [14:18] use the icedtea plugin [14:18] ok i will try one sec [14:18] temo so just follow the instructions [14:18] erik__: nice! :) [14:18] Heh... you know last week i had Vista on my computer. [14:18] erik__: what did [14:18] *sigh* -- did a network upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 yesterday. Now, if I press any key on my numeric keypad (microsoft wireless keybaord) -- I get booted out of my session. [14:18] LainIwakura: however, I think its a better practive to make client-side changes in your own home directory e.g. in the ~/.ssh/config file [14:18] Anyone else having this issue? [14:18] ifireball: So restarting ssh is only applicable if I'm running a server.. and the changes I made to ssh_config will take effect once I run a "ssh" command? Thanks. [14:18] @ bshx: icedtea-java7-plugin [14:18] reconfiguring policykit [14:18] Anyone Know How to DUAL BOOT Multiple Linux OS"S?????? [14:18] oh wait a minute [14:18] i got a .sql file, how do i put it into a SQL db on my comp [14:18] i think i've discovered a bug [14:18] arthur: there ya go... [14:18] use that [14:18] Itaku: mysql -u user -ppass db_Name < yourfile.sql [14:18] There's a lot of bugs with ubuntu [14:18] lol [14:18] ifireball: Oh okay. Thanks. [14:18] thanks whoever it was told me about alt-d to logout. [14:19] v0lksman: i'm running a laptop with an additional screen [14:19] is there any way I can try 8.04 with all updates to see if my wireless card will work without installing it first? [14:19] Where is this MadWIFI guide on ubuntu forum for hardy lol [14:19] arthur: which java version do you wich to use, the plugin package depends on that [14:19] LainIwakura: yes, since the client doesn't rung in the background there is nothing to restart, its not started to begin with... [14:19] be right back [14:19] dooglus, welcome [14:19] nickthorley: yes, the livecd [14:19] temo haha im getting alot of fails :) [14:19] nickthorley : use the live CD? [14:19] nickthorley: try the livecd [14:19] v0lksman: not using xinerama.. so when i run the admin app from my secondary display the unlock button doesn't work and give me the unexcpected error [14:19] ifireball: Great, thanks. [14:19] v0lksman: but it works fine on the other screen [14:19] dooglus: welcome [14:19] hi [14:19] pawan hi [14:19] does anyone knows were is the notepad in ubuntu [14:19] @slytherin I would like to use the latest one [14:19] i have the live cd which doesnt work but there may have been patches since which is what I am asking - can i try it with all patches? [14:19] erik__: hahaha....file a bug on that for sure.... [14:19] hello [14:19] v0lksman: this is actually a bug, i guess the policykit or gnome app can't bind to the correct session or something [14:20] where do i file it? [14:20] does anyone knows were is the notepad in xubuntu [14:20] launchpad.net [14:20] Itaku: it is not necessary that every .sql file will work with mysql [14:20] i got a .sql file, how do i put it into a SQL db on my comp [14:20] i've been testing the beta for about 6 weeks now... and i'm very impressed with the fixes that have gone in in the last week or so [14:20] are the ubuntu dvd's that i'm seeing on torrent sites official canonical releases ? [14:20] feels very solid [14:20] arthur: I suggest you install sun-java6-* packages. [14:20] sanozuke: the windows program notepad? [14:20] can anyone help me? [14:20] slytherin: i got the file but i want to put it in [14:20] arthur: That is the most complete java currently [14:20] just like it [14:20] Ubuntu + Wine doesnt' go well [14:20] hello, i've been trying to install nvidia proprietary driver during several hours...and i don't suceed....i realy need help...i have an xorg.0.log error... [14:20] @ slytherin: actually I am installing "icedtea-java7-plugin" [14:20] nickthorley : explain for us "doesnt work" a bit more we see if we can help u here [14:21] afallenhope: wyssat? [14:21] sanozuke: perhaps gedit--just like it is only in windows though [14:21] slytherin: icedtea works great, let him install that one [14:21] hi, anybody with a thinkpad r61 c2d8100, nvida nvs 140) around? and/or any idea why kubuntu live-cd is booting but ubuntu is hanging after starting the live-cd (does not boot hangs on bootscreen where you can choose if you want to install or try) [14:21] GNUtoo: have you tried envyng? its in the universal repos [14:21] thank you [14:21] Hi guys, does the new screen resolution tool works for you? Doesn't detect any sec. monitors here [14:21] arthur: icedtea packages lack some classes like sound. So may not work with every applet [14:21] pallavi, did that work?? [14:21] Itaku: it is not necessary it will work. if it was made for oracle you need oracle installation on your machine. [14:21] erik__: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu [14:21] @ slytherin: ok I will see... thank you! [14:21] slytherin: icedtea sound works great over here [14:22] ndy sounds like a bad burn or a corrupt iso [14:22] Whats up with the Encrypt stuff in gnome? [14:22] thanks [14:22] v0lksman, the problem is that at a kernel update it will break the module and the laptop won't have graphics ....and that is VERY problematic [14:22] gord_: well i cant get a wilress connection in 7.10 it came up asking if I would like to use a restricted driver which worked perfectly but in 8.04 this seems to have been removed for some strange reason - It may be available in a patched kernel or via other patches but I dont know this unless I install I guess [14:22] uh ive seen this in my terminal for the past 5 mins. 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.31)] [14:22] can someone tell me how to set the system so every time i add a user by default they can only access ~ [14:22] bazhang: burned the ubuntu cd two times .. will try another one :) [14:22] bhsx: no, you are certainly using something other than icedtea. Check 'java -version' [14:22] Itaku: it's because the servers are getting SLAMMED [14:22] slytherin: removed divx plugin ... running tovin now without system rebooting [14:22] just let it run [14:22] nickthorley : What type of wireless card do you have? Belkin, D-Link etc [14:22] GNUtoo: with envy or just when you install manually? [14:22] Heroin: what with that? [14:23] well crap [14:23] slytherin: the encryption option in gnome.. in the filemanager [14:23] ill try to find another place to download phpmyadmin [14:23] i tried it is copied [14:23] voxxi: i have an intel 3945 abg card [14:23] but i am not able to view the contents in it [14:23] can I ask are many people trying the lazy way of upgrading to Heron or are you all being sensible and backing up and starting fresh. i always used to do a fresh install as awindows user, but I'm told aptitude especially does avery good job? [14:23] nickthorley : ah ok got u now, yep use the live CD to install a system, THEN solve the wireless probem, do u have a a wireD network connection on the machine? [14:23] Heroin: ever heard of gnupg? [14:23] nickthorley that card not working? [14:23] once again ubuntu has given my hard drives names I can't find. [14:23] How can I list the known drives on the machine? [14:24] after updating to 8.04 my gnome-rdp gives this error: Error during the connection to database, uninstalling and installing the package dit not help === soulrider__ is now known as soulrider [14:24] @ loder yeah no need to starting fresh ... I have done both ways several times and had no problems [14:24] modoc: sudo fdisk -l [14:24] v0lksman, before the update i had envy and now i want to install it the ubuntu way so it doesn't break during the kernel updates [14:24] !uuid > modoc [14:24] loder well not really lazy; just like to continue on--your way is fine too though [14:24] i installed icedtea-gcjwebplugin, which installed openjdk --jre [14:24] !uuid > me [14:24] openjdk-6-jre, that is [14:24] gord_: yes I do. how can i install patches and test though when the patches may need a reboot? [14:24] modoc: sudo fdisk -l [14:24] bazhang: no it doesnt [14:24] ifireball: sorry [14:24] ifireball, bullium, v0lksman: thanks! [14:24] GNUtoo: ahh...I think Alberto fixed that with EnvyNG... [14:25] nickthorley: what does ifconfig show [14:25] modoc: yep [14:25] so, funny thing happened partition editor doesn't detect my partitions, but i can see them from nautilus. je, I can't get past the LiveCD [14:25] nickthorley : Apparently, according to the linux wireless list, its fully supported. What have you tried to get it working [14:25] Anyone Know How to DUAL BOOT Multiple Linux OS"S?????? [14:25] bazhang: unfortunately cant tell you as not with the machine at the moment [14:25] bhsx: yes, that is different from icedtea-java-7 packages. But even openjdk is not complete AFAIK, [14:25] whooo [14:25] bazhang i am thinking of doing that actually - Gutsy does everytihng I need and I actually rely on it as my main system now so I loathe to mess with awinning formula [14:25] hi all, is the ubuntu repos lagging? does anybody experiencing this? [14:25] N1NCHN41L5: grub installation wil take care of it [14:25] GNUtoo: may want to check with him in the forums though....Envy has been flawless for me with ATI in the past and so far with NG and nVidia it's been ok...but no kernel updates yet... ;) === ha|0 is now known as hal0 [14:25] hey how do i check whether i've manually installed an old version of bluez-utils correctly? [14:25] voxxi: i havent tried anything - it was autodetected before and I cant see why the driver should have been removed from a later version of the os - seems like a backward step to me [14:25] Hi === hal0 is now known as halo [14:26] N1NCHN41L5: grub [14:26] arstanj: all ubuntu sites are lagging [14:26] anyone know how I can completely restore Ubuntu? I don't know the partitions.. I just did the desktop installation. I want to reinstall. I jacked up all my modules some how. [14:26] nickthorley: I have the exact same card and it works very well once you get it going--when you have a chance perhpas you can troubleshhot it [14:26] nickthorley : ah, i meant actually INTALL the system onto hard disk using the live CD, but do u just want to test it witout disturbing the hard disk? not easy at all that way.... [14:26] same here [14:26] what would happen if I ran wubi with wine??? [14:26] artenius - GRUB is my only problem [14:26] i want to know what partitions i require to have [14:26] N1NCHN41L5: and please don't use all caps. It is considered as shouting. [14:26] immeys: thanks, so its not only my network [14:26] How do i check whether i've manually installed an old version of bluez-utils correctly? [14:26] how to you guys and girls read so fast [14:26] JPSmon: lol, i think it would create a comedy of errors [14:26] we dont [14:26] loder well I would stick with gutsy until 804.1 if you know what I mean [14:26] slytherin: what is gnupg? [14:26] sanozuke: you don't you just look for your name and the name of the person you're talking to [14:26] v0lksman, the problem is that i must finish the upgrade as soon as possible...so i don't know how long it'll take before having a response in the forums... === halo is now known as hal0 === hal0 is now known as hall0 [14:27] JPSmon: ...it would work. [14:27] immeys: I'm pretty much understand that ubuntu iso mirrors lags, but repos... esp they differ from country to country.... [14:27] LOL, how? [14:27] !tab | sanozuke [14:27] nickthorley: Maybe it was detected correctly, but not configured properly. Does it show up under the System > Admin > Network? [14:27] sanozuke: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [14:27] gord_: ok no prob - will just have to install and then if cant get it working revert back to 7.10 [14:27] was only partly caps so they know its not M$ dual boot - text moves so fast [14:27] Heroin: it is implementation of public-key cryptography [14:27] evand: you really think so?.. i seriously doubt it would [14:27] well.. lets all do a fresh install of 7.10, and then upgrade to 8.04... this is feeling like windows man [14:27] slytherin: that's interesting.. i hadn't realized that.... i'm actually uninstalling and installing sun-java6-plugin to see if i can tell a difference on any applets [14:27] How do i check whether i've manually installed an old version of bluez-utils correctly? [14:27] evand, would i dual boot my linux? [14:27] is there a Wubi channel? [14:27] jojomas: far from it [14:27] Hi === hall0 is now known as halll0 [14:27] jaja, just kidding [14:27] I boot into initramfs every time. [14:27] pallavi: you may want to join #ubuntu-in. You have high chance of getting answers there [14:28] mattycoze: try using it? [14:28] JPSmon: IndyGunFreak I've seen it with my own eyes. The lead developer works in Ubuntu, it's kind of a necessity. But it's only useful for testing that it created the right things and put them in the right place. [14:28] ya Thanks for assistance [14:28] you guys [14:28] nickthorley : yep but not too hard to install then configure stuff once it's on your disk, but near-impossibkle to remaster a live-cd that way for specific card u see [14:28] when i do an lsb_release -a i get 8.04 hardy ! [14:28] bazhang: what did you have to do to get it going - I think we need to get out of having to "fix" it - if it auto worked before then why not in a later version - I love linux and want to get more people into it but if the way to get your card working is to play with kernel modules then i cant help but thinking we are going backwards not forwards [14:28] are a lot of time online [14:28] fysa: no, just a forum and website. [14:28] GNUtoo: I'm not sure how installing the drivers manually is going to help though...no matter what when you install a new kernel you need to create the modules for it...Envy does it for you while the "Ubuntu" way (which isn't cause Ubuntu Way means no proprietary software) you have to do it by hand.... [14:28] can anyone help with a permissions problem I'm having? [14:28] yes /j #wubi - only 1 person in it now [14:28] evand: well, i'd have to see that to believe it [14:28] how do i encrypt a partition that requires me to give a password when i want to access it (not on boot but manually) ? [14:28] nickthorley: this is hardy right? [14:28] IndyGunFreak it might even work though - that very last version of Wine is startlingly good - it even runs Dreamweaver with bit of tweaking now - that amazed me! [14:28] gord_: no prob - thanks for your help - will install it tonight [14:28] bazhang: yes hardy [14:29] how to i use tab to search for program [14:29] evand: So there wouldnt be a dual boot then? [14:29] GNUtoo: I honestly think EnvyNG will fix your upgrade issue though...the app is more closely integrated for Hardy then it was in the past...he worked with Ubuntu devs to make a lot happen... [14:29] IndyGunFreak: bzr branch lp:wubi wubi; cd wubi; make prerequisites; make; make test [14:29] JPSmon: I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you elaborate on what you want to accomplish? [14:29] v0lksman, what i mean by ubuntu way is trough the restricted hardware gui which install the nvidia module package wich would be updated if the kernel is updated [14:29] How do I set the color depth in 8.04? [14:29] nickthorley: they moved from the ipw3945 to the iwl3945 and the transition has been a bit rocky; but the new kernel level module means no restricted driver and much better performance [14:30] neeto: you still have to use xorg.conf :-/ [14:30] Is there a search in this chan where i can look up things I don't know like what EnvyNG is? [14:30] sanozuke: what do you mean? [14:30] sanozuke: you start typing its name in the command line and then press tab, it should then either complete the name or give you completion options [14:30] !envy | loder [14:30] loder: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [14:30] evand: eh not really. its just a joke. I feel like I would be dividing by zero somwhere [14:30] dinesh: Hey [14:30] nickthorley : historical note - the live-CD is a full "release" next full updates to live-cd's will be next major release, 8.10 u see, but a system installed on your hdd can be update daily/hourly, on demand u see [14:30] hey guys is there any way to install the Ubuntu plugin back in to firefox 3. [14:30] bazhang: dont suppose you have any instructions on what you had to do to get it working do you? [14:30] !envyng | loder [14:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about envyng - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:30] GNUtoo: yeah I've never had any luck with that... :) [14:30] ok === marc__ is now known as pushpop- [14:30] whys ubuntu.com internet so slow [14:30] hmm, alright [14:30] !info envyng-gtk | loder [14:30] loder: envyng-gtk (source: envyng-gtk): install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 93 kB, installed size 324 kB [14:30] loder: simply type !searchterm [14:30] cheers [14:30] how to upgrade from gutsy to hardy? [14:30] JPSmon: ah, indeed. [14:30] i don't use irc a lot [14:31] How can I receive notifications whenever a command is executed? [14:31] can any one tell me any software package to change my MAC id???? [14:31] gangsterlicious: because it's getting POUNDED? [14:31] but is channel is the best [14:31] jhoc2x: check channel topic [14:31] bazhang: so is envy considered safe now, for Hardy? [14:31] hmmm, ok [14:31] @ jhoc2x sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:31] Oh I do remember, people with Nvidia drivers especially use it yeah? [14:31] nullmind: what sort of notifications? [14:31] look at it this way... there are 1500 ppl IN HERE [14:31] gord_: yes i fully understand - is it possible that after installing and patching the card may be auto detected and work - the updates fixing it or is this highly unlikely? [14:31] does anyone know if a bug was filed for gnome-desktop install on the server edition? [14:31] loder you can /msg ubotu info packagename or /msg ubotu keyword for lots of stuff [14:31] arthur: thanks bro! [14:31] and then ran a wubi in the wubi's wine? [14:31] hello room [14:31] hey guys is there any way to install the Ubuntu plugin back in to firefox 3. [14:31] think of what the server, trying to dish-out 650MB isos AND updates is goign through? [14:31] Adlai: basically like how libnotify notifies you a file has moved, etc., i need to know when something is executed [14:31] IndyGunFreak: it is blessed ;] for hardy only though [14:31] Does anyone have a workaround for getting the gnome desktop installed on server edition? [14:32] v0lksman, i know it's possible to install the card without envy because a guy(wich is away) succeeded to install it with the gui in ubuntu [14:32] bazhang: very interesting === v0lksman is now known as v0lksman-away [14:32] vbabiy-laptop: which plugin? [14:32] i just updated to the new hardy,but i cant seem to get my emerald themes to run [14:32] bazhang thanks - in some ways my installs worked so well I didn't learn so much [14:32] shane2peru: install ubuntu-desktop package? [14:32] If anybody still wants a copy, I have i386-desktop at ftp://arnescnp.com user: ftp pass: I'm uploading amd64-desktop to the server now.... limit - 7 connections [14:32] nullmind: you can replace the binary with a trojan that sends you some mail and then executes the program [14:32] There's an irony there somewhere :) [14:32] anybody know how to get youtube to work in hardy [14:32] IndyGunFreak: aiui, yes. Or at least moreso than it was. [14:32] slytherin: the one that comes installed by default with firefox 3. [14:32] shane2peru: you haven't stated the problem you faced, yet [14:32] then drop that somewhere in your path [14:32] nullmind, I will give that a try [14:32] before the real binary [14:32] shane2peru: installing the ubuntu-desktop package doesn't work for you? [14:32] ah, sorry, didn't notice that bazhang replied already. [14:32] Iam trying to use perl and things are going better [14:32] slytherin, yes, gnome-desktop-environment is brokedn [14:32] nickthorley: I cant remember offhand but will help you go through it if you wish sometime--there are a couple of bugs that stop some people from using it atm that will be fixed in short order [14:32] ifireball, going to try that now [14:32] in xubuntu [14:33] vbabiy-laptop: you need package ubufox [14:33] slytherin: it lets you choose to install flash or gnash, also helps install java [14:33] Adlai: Yeah, i know, but I need a dynamic way to do this. Can I somehow filter bash? [14:33] lilg111111: 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' [14:33] where is a german help channel for ubuntu ? === eth01 is now known as eth01-ITS-MY-BIR [14:33] Adlai: I guess I could replace bash and do my filtering there... [14:33] nullmind: I'm not aware of how, if it's possible === eth01-ITS-MY-BIR is now known as its-my-birthday [14:33] Adlai: this is because of this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=763283 [14:33] one more question - this inclusion of FF3 beta 5? [14:33] gord_: i used it but its not working correct.When i changed my MAC id the internet stopped working and when i rebooted my PC, MAC was again changd to the older one. [14:33] shane2peru: do you just want gnome-desktop? [14:34] loder: Final Fantasy 3 wasn't released in United States [14:34] bazhang: what do you mean by term short order - they will be last to be fixed? - I will be trying to install tonight - approx 8 hours from now if you are around? === its-my-birthday is now known as eth01 [14:34] ifireball, nullmind - ahh, sometimes the simple solutions escape me! I tried gnome, gnome-desktop, gnome-desktop-environment [14:34] Will aptitude upgrade it to the release as and when it's avaibable [14:34] shane2peru: but really if you're gonna do that, install desktop ubuntu and be done with, you're not getting anything from using the server that way [14:34] does anyone know where to find documentation for hardy server? [14:34] v0lksman-away, http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#F => i will use envy [14:34] slytherin: i have that package but how do I get it in to firefox [14:34] shane2peru: you can also install kubuntu-desktop for the KDE dekstop [14:34] hello [14:34] loder: yes [14:34] nullmind I meant Firefox - I can't work out whether your joking there [14:34] grnmtn: you can always use $man [14:34] nickthorley : possible, more likely u need to google for, for example, {card name) ubuntu hardy and do somethin manually [14:34] bhsx, i have it already [14:34] loder: im always joking :) [14:35] can i backup Pidgin`s conversation logs ? [14:35] restart FF and go to youtube [14:35] nickthorley: I will do my best to be around; will try to remember what exactly I did--not much really though ( acoup;e of tweaks iirc) [14:35] i need a strange help [14:35] ifireball, nullmind thanks guys, I'm a gnomer, and yes I like having my server too, computer handles both just fine, I like the server install, server hobby, desktop for work. :) [14:35] vbabiy-laptop: I don't understand what you mean by 'get into firefox' [14:35] nullmind: I'm looking for install guides . . . so I'm not to the man stage yet [14:35] alteregoa: go ahead and ask [14:35] where can i find the md5sums on the ubuntu website? [14:35] lilg111111: and it doesn't work? [14:35] slytherin: well I have it installed but firefox doesn't show it installed. [14:35] 24 bit color depth is not including the 8 bit alpha channel, right?

Open terminal and check directory ~/.purple/logs [14:35] grnmtn: Ubuntu has a good Wiki [14:35] but it doesn't work as it should [14:35] !md5 | albech [14:35] albech: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [14:35] nullmind I take it Final Fanatasy is agame? the software I'venever heard of is always game related :( [14:35] bhsx, nope just a black screen shows up with the replay button but no video plays [14:35] grnmtn: you can also browse the packages online and download their docs [14:35] indian_munnda: yes mac-changer usuall opnly last during one boot, changin g mac confuses everything, so u mets ask for new IP by recycling the network, eg: disable it and reeneble it should work for dhcp [14:36] ifireball, nullmind I have xubuntu installed now, and it is ok, but I just like gnome too much, too used to gnome. Thanks [14:36] lilg111111: you restarted FF? [14:36] alteregoa: you need to use my nick if you want an answer thanks [14:36] so u must# [14:36] vbabiy-laptop: where did you check it?

[14:36] lilg111111: this SHOULDn't have anything to do with it... but try 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [14:36] @ afallenhope ... yeah SATA should be no problem [14:36] bazhang: thanks for your help [14:37] nullimind: I'm trying to set up separate partitions, so I guess 8.04 docs aren't necessary (I doubt that has changed) - but I can't find any decent documentaiton on manually partitioning ubuntu server [14:37] vbabiy-laptop: Are you checking 'plugins' or 'extensions'? [14:37] afallenhope I don't know what constitutes well but it certainly works on mine [14:37] indian_munnda: so use macchanger, then go to network icon on top toolbar then disbale then reenable it [14:37] not yet nickthorley ;] [14:37] gord_: but i m running a DNS server with a public IP thats why i m looking for MAC changer. [14:37] gord_: you too - hope to be chatting later via wireless [14:37] hey guys [14:37] ok, enjoy everyone, this is too busy for me to be much help [14:37] grnmtn: are you going to use the Live CD to install, it has GParted a GNOME-based partition editor that is very sexy [14:37] slytherin: both [14:37] im a i have a quick question [14:37] im a newb [14:37] and i have hardy [14:37] never ask to ask or talk about asking [14:37] bhsx, already have that to, should i uninstall em and reinstall them [14:37] could someone give me a link to the release info on Hardy? [14:37] go ahead joshua__ easy on the enter key though [14:37] a mac changer, so you had a power pc mac, and now you try to change to intel? [14:37] joshua__: just ask [14:38] when will archive.ubuntu be back up??? I can/t get any packages as of now and it is quite frustrating. [14:38] <[T]-Rex> lol [14:38] I am running dual boot with vista 64 and when i installed hardy i could read my ntfs data [14:38] how are thing between hardy and gutsy??? i'd like to know before upgrading to hardy [14:38] It is busy actually - the busiest I've ever seen any IRC channel in my life! [14:38] joshua__: just ask your qustion - it gets busy here [14:38] greentomate: go to Admin->Software sources and choose a local mirror [14:38] i have no glue with xorg.conf [14:38] rwb www.fsckin.com has the best one (in Plain English) [14:38] vbabiy-laptop: have you restarted firefox? Any chance you are using firefox2 instead of firefox3. [14:38] joshua__: thats a feature [14:38] greentomate: im in Portland, OR and choose cat.pdx down the street :) [14:38] what about an Asus vid card? [14:38] I cannot find the artwiz package in the hardy repositories. How do I find which respoistory to add so that I can apt-get xfonts-artwiz2?

[14:39] i'm sort of shocked that they would release 8.04 without update documentation at the same time [14:39] hi to all, I want to install ubuntu on laptop Samsung Q45 F000. I tried to do it with 7.10 and 8.04 - but i can't: it fades at attempt to start from a disk without installation. Whether it is possible to try to start ubuntu from USB flash drive and how? Or some one can already have the same problem? [14:39] grnmtn: yes, the Ubuntu Desktop does include GParted [14:39] i tried removing it in synaptic, however it didnt work [14:39] 965wh [14:39] sorry slytherin I didn't notice I had firefox open on a different desktop [14:39] gord_: i m running gutsy [14:40] so it was not restarting [14:40] another question: how do i make it so i dont have to type root password all the time. Isn't there a way to have it autofilled? i mean, i understand why it wants to prompt you, but why should i have to actually type a pw in as supposed to hitting "OK Proceed" [14:40] removing it worked [14:40] grnmtn: you can always use the parted application for command-line partitioning [14:40] hi [14:40] but ntfs didnt [14:40] grnmtn: they did you just need to look for it: www.distrowatch.com has the official one [14:40] arthur: you also need sun-java6-plugin :-D [14:40] indian_munnda: u see the moment u change the MAC all your network switches get confused, they try to talk to the OLD mac, in their arp-caches i think [14:40] how to download videos from youtube [14:40] Hardy upgrade Q: I torrented the alternate CD, burned it, but when did the upgrade it seems to be downloading everything from the new and not using the CD... [14:40] so i reinstalled it and it still doesnt work [14:40] @ slytherin : oh ^^ [14:40] joshua__: have you tried manually mounting the drive? [14:40] anyone having issues compiling vmware server on 64bit 8.04? [14:40] joshua__: do you know how to open a terminal? [14:40] not sure how [14:40] ok i will say this for anyone having troubles with FROSTWIRE or LIMEWIRE.... over the course of the beta, and including the final release... install the FrostWire .deb. then 'gksudo gedit /usr/bin/FrostWire' and make the file '#!/bin/bash - cd /usr/lib/frostwire - java -jar FrostWire.jar' then 'sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/FrostWire' then just type (or create a shortcut) for 'FrostWire' and it will run just fine...

[14:57] indian_munnda: yes ok, but u realise that two devices cannot exist at the same time using one single mac address, ie bothturnedon and plugged into network...in case u have that going on [14:57] bazhang .. and I cant do anything .. so I'm just tryin' to make another upgrade [14:57] !slow | Sake [14:57] Sake: The Ubuntu repositories and ISO mirrors are currently under heavy load due to the release of the latest edition.

[14:57] Jessid: i'm not sure if there will ever be usb support in the open source edition [14:57] cdimage.ubuntu.com is timing out for me, too... [14:57] its wiped them all and done it itself [14:57] bazhang.. ahhh ok .. ty .. I will report about if it repeated.. ty at all [14:57] i think thats what 'guided' means [14:58] ah ok i thought it was me [14:58] Anyone running Ubuntu in a VirtualBox? [14:58] Itaku: the servers are under a heavy load atm - give it a day [14:58] I only want an 8.04 jeos torrent link. Anyone have one? [14:58] indian_munnda_: Get a switch and set up a proxy on the machine already registered. [14:58] my upgrade took about 7 hours [14:58] bazhang but if I dl the .deb file why is it still looking for repo? === crummygummy_ is now known as CrummyGummy [14:58] lol [14:58] 7 hours [14:58] Thanks dystopianray, that help me :) [14:58] kennethr: not really, but u can be sure they are "current" ie, up to date/hour/minute [14:58] yup [14:58] gord_; i did ifconfig -a and it gave me info of all devices [14:58] eltech which deb file [14:58] mine is taking me past the 36 hour mark [14:58] gdesklets [14:58] Sajuukkhar: yes, but. sometimes you cant see all partitions if you havent shutdown windows correctly [14:58] spiniker: Would've been quicker to download the alternate or DVD via torrent, and upgrade with local disc. :) [14:58] when i use 2.6.24 kernel it crashes [14:58] really [14:58] but... thats not the case [14:59] dystopianray: ok man. I hope they do...meanwhile, lets enjoy new Ubuntu, jejeje...Thanks a lot! By the way, do you know how to change the name of the disks shown in the desktop??? [14:59] windows isnt installed on here [14:59] stupid question: why is my root (i.e. mounted at "/") partition commented out in /etc/fstab? I'm running Ubuntu Server 8.04, and it's working fine, but that seems odd to me. [14:59] men i guess i was lucky enough [14:59] indian_munnda: ok, so the physiocal address is the new one u specified on macchanger then? [14:59] eltech likely because it has dependencies--best to waiut and get from the repos [14:59] k [14:59] Jessid: not in ubuntu, no [14:59] indian_munnda:...for the specific network card u are using, or eth0 if u only have one network card/nic [14:59] If there is this much lag at this market share, what will it be like when everyone uses ubuntu? [15:00] can i make my own partitions [15:00] gord_: are talking about the hardware address? [15:00] Have you tried installing with the alternate cd? [15:00] LainIwakura http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/17/adding-additional-repositories/ is about adding repositories generally and the Gutsy one i presume is main - I'm actually using Debian today I I can't actually read it off for you [15:00] how do I set local mirrors from the command line? I'm using ubuntu server.. [15:00] im now about to upgrade my laptop to 8.04.. [15:00] hey [15:00] wot alternate cd? [15:00] indian_munnda:yes thats it sorry [15:00] dystopianray: mmm ok. Now that you say it, I am curious to know what distro do you use! [15:00] SeanTater: interesting but not really suited to this channel thanks [15:00] eimajentha1-> can you paste your /etc/fstab for us to see? [15:00] that was an excessive use of the word actually sorry about that :) [15:00] Since installing hardy my gfx card doesnt get recognised and i get default screen resolution. What is the best way to configure this ? [15:00] Jessid: kubuntu [15:00] Ubuntu 8.04 JeOS torrent file anyone? [15:00] loder: Okay thanks.. although another user said that I should not add a gutsy repository line in my hardy sources.list? [15:00] Sake: install desktop if you don't know [15:00] gord_: ok let me see. [15:00] SeanTater, I think there will be more mirrors available.

[15:01] theres the desktop edition, and an alternate one, that gives you additional options for installing [15:01] schnootop, I have the same problem [15:01] u mean the i386 one and the other one? [15:01] LainIwakura well as to the wisdom I couldn't say - I'm just a newbie who can search :) [15:01] LainIwakura: dont mix repos versions; bad juju will happen ;] [15:01] bakom, have you gotten anywhere yet or know why its happening > [15:01] loder: Hehe, alright. [15:01] is there a room for emerald? [15:01] bazhang: Okay.. :/ [15:01] no, there is a desktop and an alternate cd for i386 === carl is now known as gbosso [15:01] nope, sorry, schnootop [15:02] thats ok, ill update all my packages and see if that will fix it [15:02] spiniker: you can try #compiz-fusion [15:02] i cant seem to get it running on hardy [15:02] ok thnks [15:02] where can i get the alternate cd [15:02] hi all [15:02] ok [15:02] PMantis, http://www.sumotorrent.com/en/details/785331/hardy-jeos-i386.iso.html 2 secs on google.. found it [15:02] LainIwakura I actually added the VLc repos before it became standard fair and obviously that doesn't pose any conflict issues [15:02] i wanna more info about wubi [15:03] loder: I see. [15:03] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent Sajuukkhar [15:03] it is available in ubuntu 8.0.4 server? [15:03] im setting part's manualy [15:03] Aragorn_Guardian: http://www.wubi-installer.org [15:03] Scunizi: Weird, I tried Google... took me to cdimage.ubuntu.com, which is dead ATM [15:03] Scunizi: Thanks! [15:03] evand: nice.. thanks [15:03] Aragorn_Guardian: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php and yes it is. [15:03] thanks [15:03] 8) [15:03] PMantis, np... I use www.google.com/linux for linux related stuff [15:03] Is there any way that I can update my current ubuntu to ubuntu 8, without burning it to a cd? [15:03] I better go - I think I'm a good learner but not so good a teacher LOL [15:03] nice project [15:03] you shouldnt have to, if your installing from the entire disk the partitions are created automatically. [15:03] Seeya [15:03] it works???? [15:04] is stable? [15:04] flashplugin doesnt work in opera, with ubuntu 8.04 [15:04] Fatty: sure; just via the net you mean? [15:04] \whois [15:04] Aragorn_Guardian: Mimi: uhm, no, it's not available in Ubuntu Server [15:04] Aragorn_Guardian: You can install any Ubuntu ISO or CD you got using Wubi. Read the Faq [15:04] Aragorn_Guardian: yes, it works. Yes, it's stable (though see the note about running it on Windows Vista) [15:04] loder not so; you are very helpful thanks! [15:04] Scunizi: Hmmm, 0 seeders, 0 leechers. Perhaps there's another on google. [15:04] nice...gonna read the faq [15:04] yea, i mean, i just installed ubuntu 7 like 2 weeks ago and now ubuntu 8 is out so i don't want to burn to cd, just want to like...update, some easy way [15:04] haha vista [15:04] thanks a lot [15:04] heh i'm a noob [15:04] 8) [15:04] ubuntu always rules!!!! [15:04] 8) [15:04] * evand shakes fist at Vista. [15:04] Aragorn_Guardian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:05] fatty you can dist-upgrade if you wish [15:05] my partitions; 1 20 gig ext 3 with /home mount point, 2 20 gig ext 3 with / mount point, 3 789 mb swap file [15:05] there are something like a xp theme for gnome??? [15:05] people are too confusing with linux desktop... [15:05] Aragorn_Guardian: If you are good enough at computers that you want to use Server, you shouldn't need Wubi ;) [15:05] i hate users.. :/ [15:05] bazhang, just type dist-upgrade in a terminal? [15:05] gord_: i did that and it showed the new MAC id. [15:05] PMantis, http://torrentz.ws/torrent/691417/hardy-jeos-i386-iso855012412442-5 [15:05] Is it hard to install a font by myself? Since the font I want to install is not in the Hardy repository [15:05] fatty you need to make sure 7.10 is completely up-to-date first [15:05] !font | LainIwakura [15:05] LainIwakura: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [15:05] it is [15:06] !upgrade | Fatty [15:06] Fatty: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:06] Mimi: yeah, but my i got only an old machine by now.. :/....wubi is perfect...seemsvery nice [15:06] LainIwakura: put it in .fonts in your home directory [15:06] so whats hardy like so far? [15:06] Mimi: an old with a windows....blarg [15:06] where do i see the last messages of the status log of the upgrade? [15:06] indian_munnda:ok good, so macchanger has at least worked....let me think a little 2 mins [15:06] Mimi: but nice...thanks [15:06] KiwiJoker: try it out for yourself [15:06] nope didnt work, one of the ext systems failed [15:06] Myrtti, he still have to rebuild the font cache [15:06] gord_: ok take your time. [15:06] i will, but hows hardy working for others? [15:06] Scunizi: Oh, lovely, that took me to poro links when I tried to download [15:06] Aragorn_Guardian: so you basically need the server in a virtual machine to play around in? I do that too... try Virtual Box if you haven't yet. Works very well on windows [15:07] oooh, just got an internal server error trying to go to that webpage [15:07] KiwiJoker: Its easy and everything works alot better [15:07] KiwiJoker: this is not a chat channel; bit crowded for that thanks [15:07] Scunizi: I do appreciate the effort, though. :) [15:07] mimi [15:07] ops [15:07] who can unlock me on ubuntu-pl ? [15:07] PMantis, wow.. sorry.. I'll let you search .. [15:07] that upgrade link is dead [15:07] elektronik123: /j #ubuntu-pl [15:07] Mimi: dont know...i try play with vmware...huge big...but works... [15:08] bazhang i can`t join there [15:08] Mimi: nice!!! 8) [15:08] When I apt-get something, it always goes to us.archive.ubuntu.com. How can I change that? [15:08] Scunizi: Heh, NP... google.com/linux was a good pinter [15:08] elektronik123: you got banned? [15:08] amenado, http://pastey.net/86532 [15:08] Scunizi: s/pinter/pointer/ [15:08] bazhang yes [15:08] indian_munnda: ok the, the harwdware address of OK, does it have a IP address for that card? I assume eth0? [15:08] usicow: System > Administration > Software Sources [15:08] a lot time ago [15:08] usicow: choose another mirror in synaptic [15:09] would hardy still run on my old hp pIII machine,256mb ram? [15:09] So I have slight problem, after upgrading my numpad no longer works [15:09] I installed hardy today; wireless does not work; hp pavilion laptop; Intel(R) 3945ABG/BG chip; iwl3945 driver. I see the chipset being detected in dmesg. But ifconfig does not show this interface. This was working perfectly in gutsy. Installing backports-modules did not help. Please help. [15:09] spiniker: gnome hardy? doubtful [15:09] spiniker: Sure. Give it a try. You might want to use xubuntu though. [15:09] jburd/bazhang: Im only on SSH though.. do you know how I can do it via the console? [15:09] Sajuukkhar, you should reformat your drive first. the easiest way I know to do that without having an os installed is with the alternate cd [15:09] eimajentha1-> it looks like your /dev/sda1 is mounted to / [15:09] gord_: i have provided the public IP to the card which was given to me by the ISP. [15:10] bazhang, that link doesn't work [15:10] bazhang what can i do ? [15:10] you should try it [15:10] is there a terminal that's comparable to putty on windows? [15:10] is anyone here using epiphany instead of firefox ? [15:10] usicow: You can forward X requests through SSH. Just ssh in using ssh -X foobar@blah [15:10] spiniker: xubuntu might be better for a machine with that spec [15:10] Does Hardy Heron support compiz on new ATI cards? [15:10] amenado: yes, but it's commented out, why is that? [15:10] I've checked the forum but didnt see any recent hits, my new hardy is hanging when syncing to the repository on Translation-en_US. Seemed to be some hits in google going back to each release. Anyone else gettign this? [15:10] no imean i have 7.10 installed right now..but i think it's slowing down.. [15:10] usicow: Or you'll need to manually edit: /etc/apt/sources.list [15:10] Sake: there is putty for linux [15:10] eimajentha1-> it is not commented out, its the line that starts at UUID=xxxx [15:10] bharath: the transiton from ipw to iwl has a couple of outstanding bugs at the moment--the launchpad page has a couple of possible workarounds iirc [15:10] sletak: I'm getting this problem as well... [15:10] You don't need putty for linux [15:10] Is anyone manage to get flashplayer working in opera with ubuntu 8.04 x86 ? [15:10] is there _any_ way to install ubuntu using the iso but without burning the cd? all the cdrw's that i've got are bad :( [15:10] putty for linux is gtk1 [15:10] indian_munnda:ok, just confirm that you have a dirdcect (network) connection to the internet? u dont use a modem/router/firewall? for example? [15:10] thanks bazhang; I will look for them [15:11] I have the same question as rohan [15:11] !usb | rohan [15:11] rohan: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [15:11] you don't need it, but it does exist [15:11] anyone know the best way to rebuild my source.list with the latest sources ? [15:11] indian_munnda:direct# bad keyboard skills after 24 hours of release-helping haha [15:11] eimajentha1-> read carefully, the line before it is a comment #/dev/sda1 but next line starting with UUID is not [15:11] The package manager hangs when I try to update simply because, at least I think, a server is down... [15:11] i have reformatted this tho so many times [15:11] rohan, Fatty: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /mnt/ [15:11] rohan: do you have a second computer (linux)? [15:11] fatty okay; change gutsy to hardy in sources.list then sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (and wait for a bit as a ton of packages are downloaede) [15:11] Sake: what are you trying to accomplish? Do you need wyse60 emulation or something? [15:11] rohan: Mount the ISO to a point. [15:11] amenado: I see! the UUID identifies the filesystem, and /dev/sda1 is just there for my benefit? === sletak is now known as slestak [15:11] gord_: ;) , yes it is a direct connection to the ISP. [15:12] jburd: but then what? [15:12] can i upgrade using the terminal? [15:12] Nith: no, second computer is windows only :( [15:12] rohan: after that run this if you aren't already prompted: [15:12] where is sources.list, again? [15:12] /etc/apt/sources.list [15:12] where are irc ops ? [15:12] ah ok [15:12] so is there a way to use a remote gui tool to set up a firewall on an ubuntu server install without actually installing x windows on the server itself? [15:12] spiniker: from gutsy to hardy? sure [15:12] eimajentha1-> please man fstab so you can understand what that file is about [15:12] hello [15:12] gksudo 'sh /mnt/cdromupgrade' [15:12] jburd: it's a desktop cd, not a alternate one [15:12] amenado: never seen it done that way, but apparently it works. Thanks for your help. [15:13] spiniker: yes, do-release-upgrade [15:13] elektronik123: go to #ubuntu-ops [15:13] Oh, I see. You can't upgrade always using the Desktop CD rohan [15:13] yes gutsy to hardy [15:13] eimajentha1-> please do read man fstab [15:13] i guess the new ubuntu is making waves outhere... [15:13] I can see my wireless card on my iwconfig and the mode is auto even though it should be managed but I can't get the card down to change the mode [15:13] rohan: You'll need the alternate disc. It's best to download the live/alternate DVD ISO [15:13] amenado: Reading [15:13] * N3bunel brb pauza de masa [15:13] frieze: yes, using ssh and +X you can run ayn gui program and the comp you're sshing into doesn't need an X server [15:13] * jburd is doing that [15:13] slestak: I dunno what that means. I just like how putty uses a small font and works with everything. :) [15:13] Hello everyone! My package manager freezes when I try to reload the repositories. I had just done a fresh install less than 30 minutes ago. Does anyone else have this problem [15:13] my number keys on the right dont work but i have num lock on. how do i fix it [15:13] bazhang, you said change gutsy to hardy, how do i do that? do i need to download the iso first? [15:13] ? [15:13] indian_munnda: ok then, (some ppl dont realise it might be the modem/router mac they have to change/spoof ) OK, so can you ping anything? try ping 72.14.207.99 its google.com [15:13] im off to bed [15:13] frieze: if you want ot get more information, its alled "x forwarding" [15:14] it moves the mouse everytime i hit a number [15:14] greetings all. just upgraded to 8.04 and it is pretty cool. are the repo's running slow for everyone? [15:14] ddrplayer512-> the server side is busy, you may have the perception it is busy and unresponsive.. [15:14] 8 hours until i get this alternate cd [15:14] makkbe: sorry; what is the full command? do-release-upgrade in the run command or int the terminal [15:14] ddrplayer512: the repos are overwhelmed... give people a few days to upgrade and they'll stop being swamped [15:14] hardy : when i try to open login screen settings it does not start it, any tips? [15:14] i have a gutsy install.. and the alternate install for hardy, and the first time i put the disc in.. it asked me if i wanted to upgrade, and then failed (because i couldn't connect to internet).. and now when i put the disc in, it no longer prompts to upgrade.. how do i fix this [15:14] jones yes, its very very slow [15:14] bazhang: in the terminal [15:14] hi [15:14] someone have wifi bug ? the wifi get slowing after 15 minutes , (ralink 2500 pci ) [15:14] Nith: what were you going to suggest anyway? [15:14] what happens if the alternate cd doesnt work for my partitions? [15:14] Sajuukkhar: try a torrent, I got one in less then an hour [15:14] amenado: thanks. just curious. [15:14] i cant install limepro coz gdebi says it connot connect to ubuntu repository while the downloading the last file. my system is up to date with all repo except source code enabled. do i need to add another repo on the list [15:14] makkbe: is that preceded by anything? or just that command [15:14] unimatrix9-> try ctrl+alt+F1 to F5 to test the log on [15:14] jburd: anyway, i'd rather clean install than upgrade [15:14] are the package servers down right now? [15:15] Ah... I imagine that. I've seen that happen when Gutsy came out, too. I should have known... Thanks! [15:15] rohan: I've got a computer without a working CDROM drive, I use a PXE server to install [15:15] how do i "force" gutsy to update to hardy using the install cd? (after its already failed once and no longer prompts to upgrade) [15:15] I'll try later. [15:15] nibs, i have 25 kb/s internet [15:15] rohan: its a bit long to set up but it works well [15:15] asigrist-> -> the server side is busy, you may have the perception it is busy and unresponsive.. [15:15] bazhang: no, just that command [15:15] amendado, i want to set it to auto login, but the manager does not start [15:15] is there a way to remove the firefox 3 beta and use the old firefox? i have a lot of plugins that do not work in 3.. thanks for any help [15:15] from gnome menu systeem.. [15:15] Nith: thanks. I thought that when I ran ssh -Y it was doing forwarding but my understanding was that all teh gui stuff was happening on the remote machine using my local machine as a display. Since it seems like server and client are used interchangeably in x11 terminology I may have gotten that back-to-front [15:15] gord_: no i can't ping anything other than my ISP server(the server to which i login before using). [15:15] amenado, yea my network connection is quite fast yet i still can't even reload my repositories data. [15:15] fatty you want to do this all via the cli? === d1nker_ is now known as d1nker [15:15] jones: sudo apt-get install firefox-2 [15:15] cli? [15:15] then you will have both of them installed [15:16] makke: do i need to remove the 3 version? [15:16] Nith: there's no PXE server available for windows? anyway, for that you'd need the alternate disc, right? [15:16] so what happens if the alternate cd doesnt work? do i just give up and go back to dapper drake? [15:16] unimatrix9-> try ctrl+alt+F1 to F5 to test the log on <-- to test it first [15:16] i cant install limewire pro coz gdebi says it connot connect to ubuntu repository while downloading the last file. my system is up to date with all repo except source code enabled. do i need to add another repo on the list? any help pls [15:16] Is anyone manage to get flashplayer working in opera with ubuntu 8.04 x86 ? [15:16] makkbe: could you please explain what you just said to Fatty? he wants to upgrade from gutsy to hardy thanks [15:16] makkbe: do i need to remove 3? [15:16] yes, help me, lol [15:16] jones: nah, you can have then both installed [15:16] well it's taking a little while,but hey,its worth the wait.. [15:16] indian_munnda: aha , i see. and that ping is by IP? not "domain.org" yes? [15:17] Fatty: just run do-release-upgrade in a terminal [15:17] any french channel pls? [15:17] !fr [15:17] it will upgrade from gutsy to hardy [15:17] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [15:17] rohan: yeah. Any reason you can't just upgate? [15:17] makkbe: how will it know which one to load? also will all the flash and java work between the 2 of them? thanks for the help [15:17] Restricted drivers: why does it say my graphics driver is not in use? [15:17] Sajuukkhar-> try to make it work [15:17] Nith: i usually like clean installs :) [15:17] jones: ff2 will show up in your app menu [15:17] gord_: i can only ping my gateway nothing else. [15:17] so you will have to choose for yourself which one to start [15:17] rohan: Some of us can't do clean installs without going to great lengths [15:17] makkbe: ok i will try it now. [15:18] thanks makkbe, i'll let you know if that works [15:18] indian_munnda: hmmmm ok. we're reaching the ned of my sure-fire knowledge here i'm afraid :( === tobias_ is now known as tobias [15:18] gord_: :) [15:18] jburd: i seem to be one of them, and only for a lack of a cd :-/ [15:18] rohan-> what do you consider clean install? you can try something like from install from scratch with debootstrap but for now only available is 7.10 not 8.04 yet [15:18] I really like that new thing where you can use the desktop CD and choose the option to just Install Ubuntu. Has anyone tried that? [15:18] fedora iso has a convenient livecd-iso-to-usb script [15:19] 0% [working] for a while now [15:19] ddrplayer512: aye its nice [15:19] Theo_: if you figure it out let me know [15:19] Does sudo apt-get upgrade will upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? [15:19] rohan: I have tons of development stuff lying around that I don't want to recreate [15:19] artti: no [15:19] can anyone tell me how to make it so when i insert the alternate install cd to my gutsy install.. it prompts me to upgrade?? its only done it once, and no longer asks me.. there must be some temp files laying around or something?\ [15:19] artti: no [15:19] artti: but do-release-upgrade will [15:19] rohan ubuntu has one as well [15:19] maybe ill upgrade in the next few days..it's taking too long [15:19] Fatty-> the far end server is very very busy, your update may not complete for a long time..far too many downloading [15:19] anyone assist in configuring networ where rest of pc have xp [15:19] spiniker: Use a different mirror [15:19] hey, i have Crossover Office 6.2 and it works great, but I was wondering how the 'official' ubuntu wine package is? does it have a GUI fe now like was planned? [15:19] How do I enable my ati graphics card? [15:19] Does Hardy Heron support compiz on new ATI video cards? [15:19] bazhang: where? [15:19] is it 1.0? [15:20] rohan you can /msg ubotu install for a link [15:20] yea i figured, it'll download eventually though right? [15:20] snadge: hold on one sec I think I have an answer for you [15:20] Ubuntong: it should [15:20] solved my little problem thanks for the time [15:20] Ubuntong: it works for me [15:20] \\\\\ [15:20] trying to install hardy on 6910p laptop - i get "failed to start the X server" --- even when i use SAFE mode === Babble is now known as babble [15:20] qryzy-> yes, [15:20] amenado, i can just let it run like over the weekend? [15:20] uh,its starting already [15:20] oh nevermind it went through [15:20] Fatty-> do your update next week perhaps, maybe the load would be lighter [15:20] my number keys on the right dont work but i have num lock on. how do i fix it [15:20] it moves the mouse everytime i hit a number [15:20] makkbe: Without a lot of reconfiguring? [15:20] never heard that do-release-upgrade before though [15:20] nibsa1242b: holding on ;) [15:20] I don't usually upgrade over the Internet on the day it comes out. I can't install software for Hardy. I'm glad I didn't upgrade from Dapper. I was considering that... Scary... :) [15:20] Ubuntong: yes, no worries here [15:21] indian_munnda: so, to recap you have used macchanger to change a mac, verified it in ifconfig, assigned manual public as given by ISP, and you can ping your default gateway at the ISP. You have a direct network connection (no modem/router involved)? ideas anyone? i susspect this isnt an ubuntu problem, more a "spoof mac to get public IP on a new-box" question, different channel suggestions anyone? [15:21] I am trying to run the update on my 7.10 but it stuck at "Downloading file 15 of 24". Any suggestions? [15:21] Does the upgrade tool store all the downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt/archives? [15:21] cal_: I believe there is a bug, search on launchpad.net [15:21] THANKS EVERYONE [15:21] woo hardy haron is released :D [15:21] ddrplayer512: there is a dirct path from dapper to hardy you know [15:21] makkbe: That would be awesome. It's always an issue foe me. Thanks! [15:21] snadge: according to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading bottom of the page you use the following command gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" [15:21] bazhang: that guide is for installing using the hdd [15:21] What was the program that enabled you to see cpu temps on app bar? [15:21] rochri -> -> the server side is busy, you may have the perception it is busy and unresponsive.. [15:21] bazhang: but will work great, thanks a lot :) [15:21] That's because I have other machines and I'd like to move new packages to the apt-cacher server [15:21] sly: a bug specificly for 6910p? or ATI drivers? [15:21] does Ubuntu 8.04 support ext4? and if so how can I upgrade my fs from ext3? [15:21] i get a (initramfs) screen while trying to install/use live cd of hardy... c2d e6300,msi p965 neo, 2 GB dd2 667 , Geforce 7300GT 512MB... what do i do? [15:21] bazhang: Yeah, I know. But I figured that the repos would be flooded, and I wanted Hardy NOW. So... :) [15:21] vwbusguy-: Don't unless you're experimenting with the kernel. [15:22] my friend has installed it but it wont browse or see other pc on the network [15:22] vwbusguy--> you have to compile your kernel to support such new file system [15:22] when doing a dual boot install, one should install windows first, correct??? [15:22] cal_: some hp laptop enable to boot. not sure of it is same as your problem [15:22] gord_: when i change my MAC id then i can't even ping my gateway [15:22] hey, I updated to ubuntu 8.04 and now my screen resolution is somehow strange.. everything is too large, so that I can see only a part of my desktop and now menu to change the resolution, what can I do? [15:22] W8TAH: Yes [15:22] thanks [15:22] indian_munnda: aha! good point then [15:22] snadge: is that working for you? [15:22] qryzy-> you have to be clearer on what the problem is, detail or elaborate your network layout [15:22] indian_munnda: What is the original problem? [15:22] indian_munnda: so we just need to restart networking maybe [15:23] gord_: but i did that too [15:23] sly: hmm lauchpad is a sourceforge clone? [15:23] So ext4 is not supported in 8.04? [15:23] The rule of thumb is... Older versions of Windows to Newer Versions, then other OSes like Ubuntu/Linux, FreeBSD, etc. [15:23] bakom: At the login screen I think you have an option for some recovery. [15:23] bakom try crtl+alt+ + the last + is the plus in the numeric keypad [15:23] I'm having trouble getting gutsy to upgrade the upgrade manager is unable to download the upgrade tool [15:23] cal_: no [15:23] gord_: let me provide a recap to you. [15:23] indian_munnda: err, yes, but it didnt work, and it probably should have :) [15:23] What was the program that enabled you to see cpu temps on app bar? [15:23] slytherin, I don't see the login screen when starting up [15:23] nibsa1242b: cheers that worked thanks :) [15:23] bazhang: aha, the "usb" factoid helped me.. thanks for the pointer [15:23] nabil2199-> -> -> the server side is busy, you may have the perception it is busy and unresponsive.. [15:23] bakom: then how do you login? [15:23] hi [15:23] indian_munnda: I can't be bothered to scroll up and read everything. can you restate your original problem? [15:23] anyone having problems with gnome-do? [15:23] amenado, so ext4 is not supported in 8.04? [15:23] indian_munnda: yes please i working 3 probs in 4 channels here lol [15:23] nabil2199: the servers are swamped, give them a few hours or days and then try again [15:23] thanks amenado [15:24] vwbusguy-: no [15:24] nabil u should try it in the terminal. [15:24] un2him: what kind of problem? [15:24] does ubuntu's partition managing application inside installed support ReiserFS? [15:24] snadge: you are welcome! happy upgrading [15:24] slytherin, automatically [15:24] i had the same problem [15:24] jburd: yes i m recaping the problm. [15:24] does it formats selected partiton with ReiserFS and install ubuntu? [15:24] Wow the torrent is very fast! [15:24] ubuntu ops don`t recive [15:24] What was the program that enabled you to see cpu temps on app bar? [15:24] i get a the (initramfs) screen while trying to install/boot from hardy CD... c2d e6300,msi p965 neo, 2 GB dd2 667 , Geforce 7300GT 512MB... what do i do? [15:24] amenado, thanks, but nothing happens, when I press crtl+alt+ + [15:24] slytherin: wont open urls in firefox...does nothing [15:24] vwbusguy--> you can verify by checking the /boot/config* file grep it for ext4 if supported..i already advised you to recompile the kernel [15:24] * jburd would like to know where the upgrade tool caches packages [15:24] So I can move it to my apt-cacher server [15:24] is there a way to change the screen resolution via console? [15:25] bakom-> try the crtrl+alt - (minus) several times, but be patient, pause between presses [15:25] the upgrade tool(hardy.gz) cannot be downloaded by the update_manager but using wget i got it [15:25] just a quick question is there anyway to make a live cd ubuntu server that automatically sets up a raid 5 configuration and samba [15:25] jburd: maybe he just needs if up after macchange...we'll see [15:25] bakom: Ok. do one thing. Open terminal from Applications->Accessories. Do 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf' [15:25] elektronik123: then just go back when they do [15:25] you knowaboutdota [15:25] amenado: Lots of people upgrading I bet :) [15:25] I'm trying to install 8.04 from scratch and I'm having an issue... the installation freeze at Disk Partionner (Scanning disks 46%) ... I have a SATA disk on an Intel Motherboard... does someone have an idea? [15:25] bakom: oops, the second file name should be .conf.bak [15:25] nabil2199-> so you got it use it, i already told you the other end is busy [15:25] thx [15:26] how do I use it? [15:26] busy channel [15:26] hi [15:26] un2him: I don't have it installed right now, so will take some time to check [15:26] hi [15:26] are there any stats /web/download from release day ? [15:26] slytherin: thanks! [15:26] 8.04 desktop x86 works great on my gateway laptop....except the screen brightness control keys === no7up4u2 is now known as mrbuntuman [15:26] P0larBear: indeed! Never seen so many people. [15:26] ad no idea; not really a support topic thanks [15:27] anyone know why the en_AU translations are all broken in the update manager ? [15:27] I am downloading the ubuntu-8.04-dvd-i386-iso.torrent from http://www.acc.umu.se/~mighty/ubuntu/. How do i check the md5sum? [15:27] 8.04 is a hit i guess :) [15:27] !md5 | sdakak [15:27] sdakak: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:27] I am having trouble doing the upgrade to hardy in Canada [15:27] Hi, Trying to play song on Last FM - Seem to be missing something - won't play. Any suggestions? [15:27] Any way to make my NTFS partitions mount automatically in hardy, like they did in gutsy? Now I have to click them to mount them every time I log on [15:27] kthakore-> the server side is busy, you may have the perception it is busy and unresponsive.. [15:27] P0larBear, well I'm considering downgrading already [15:27] HayHay I'm in Toronto and had trouble with the waterlooU server [15:27] Anyone knows where I could get my hands on Hardy Heron VMWare appliance? I found one when it was still beta and I am looking for the new release. [15:27] it is overloaded [15:27] i have used the macchanger-gtk to change my MAC, verified it in ifconfig but internet stopped working aftr changing MAC. then assigned my public IP to it as given by the ISP and i can't ping my ISP server through which i login to the server to use internet. I have direct connection. [15:27] bazhang, is there a normal ubuntu chat channel somewhere , if this is support ? [15:27] kthakore: the servers are slow at the moment [15:28] bazhang: You miss the point what is md5sum of the proper dvd? [15:28] amenado, thanks, I tried it, but nothing happens... the problem is also, that I have an laptop keyboard, so I don't have an explicit numpad [15:28] !ot | ad [15:28] ad: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:28] i picked a .EU one in the middle of our night, and they were much faster [15:28] P0larBear, ubuntu.com has google analytis enabled [15:28] The connection has timed out. The server at archive.ubuntu.com is taking too long to respond. [15:28] sdakak: if you are already on ubuntu the command is 'md5sum filename.iso' and then compare it against the one available on website [15:28] slytherin, I did that (with .bak.conf) ... I'm currently rebooting.... [15:28] bakom then you have to proly fiddle with /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [15:28] still no support for my all in one epson stylus cx2800 :( [15:28] sdakak: you want me to search for it? [15:28] bakom make a copy first though before modifying [15:28] roychri: use some local mirror [15:28] sdakak, MD5 (kubuntu-kde4-8.04-alternate-i386.iso) = b7195c72b564b3676e584cb774e9002c [15:28] amenado, yes, I tried slytherin command [15:28] I'm trying to install 8.04 from scratch and I'm having an issue... the installation freeze at Disk Partionner (Scanning disks 46%) ... I have a SATA disk on an Intel Motherboard... does someone have an idea? [15:28] amenado: he did that already [15:29] jburd: i have provided the information to the gord_ read it. [15:29] PolarBear: I'm not sure I have the right player or codecs installed? [15:29] anybody have suggestions on if it is possible to get laptop screen brightness control on a Gateway MX6930 laptop? [15:29] !codecs | HayHay [15:29] HayHay: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:29] slytherin: bazhang: I am looking for the md5sum of the ubuntu-8.04-dvd-i380-iso which is nowhere to be found. It is the DVD [15:29] lyroy: it may not be freeze actually, be patient, have a coffee break. If it still doesn't work, file a bug. :-) [15:29] the right codecs to download ubuntu 8.04? [15:29] indian_munnda: Which ISP is this? And why are you changing your MAC? [15:29] is the server for downloading the respotories naturally slow? [15:30] P0larBear, there is add on paenl thingy than can control the brightness of the moniter [15:30] slytherin, thanks, It's working :) [15:30] mib_5klyf1zq-> the server side is busy, you may have the perception it is busy and unresponsive.. [15:30] mib_5klyf1zq: the day after release yes [15:30] murlidhar any idea of the name? [15:30] ah i see... [15:30] ok - for tip on search for codecs. thx [15:30] it'd be nice to have the keyboard working, but maybe i can get that app to use the keys [15:30] just a quick question is there anyway to make a live cd ubuntu server that automatically sets up a raid 5 configuration and samba [15:30] is http://us.archive.ubuntu.com down? [15:31] P0larBear, right-click on the panel and select brightness control [15:31] P0larBear: brigheness control won't work if there is problem the way your laptop's ACPI works. Better file a bug [15:31] gkhnoisgtht: the server is install only not live [15:31] jburd: i m having two computer systems when i try to run net in the other one it does not working because MAC is registered to the ISP server. [15:31] ampex: that mirror is always known to have problems. I wonder why is it even included in mirror lists [15:31] could the desktop version be configured as such? [15:31] indian_munnda: I think it's a bit fast in here. you can /join ##linux-india I guess. [15:31] gkhnoisgtht-> i dont think debian-installer preseed support raid 5 yet, but i could be wrong or didnt pay attention to that details as i dont have the need for it [15:31] indian_munnda: at a commandline please do - sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart after u ise machanger, let me know if that reports any errors [15:31] #ubuntu-fr [15:31] is it plausible that installing nvidia 96 drivers would fix my problem with resolution changing? [15:31] does hardy include open office 3, or a beta of it? [15:31] gkhnoisgtht: sure; just add lamp [15:32] indian_munnda: which ridiculous ISP is that? [15:32] Thank you both [15:32] slytherin: have a good replacement for me? [15:32] why does it say my ati fire gl is not in use if i enabled it? [15:32] indian_munnda: yes a slower channel will be a lot more help i think, its more of a generla linux - webby-hosting - mac-spoofing question too [15:32] anybody know how to get the mic working [15:32] ampex: can't say. I am not in US. [15:32] indian_munnda, comcast does that too ...use a router [15:32] indian_munnda: I guessed so. You probably have a static IP address bound to your MAC by your ISP's gateway. [15:32] gord_: i did the same as you said and it even stopped pinging my ISP srver [15:32] slytherin: is there a list somewhere? [15:32] indian_munnda: The best solution is to use a router and tell them to use the hardware address of the router. [15:32] does Hardy have Compiz or Compiz-Fusion installed, how do you check? [15:33] 7join #ubuntu-devel [15:33] indian_munnda: Then connect both computers to the router (using a switch if required) [15:33] ampex: you will have to search. There is definitely a list on wiki.ubuntu.com or launchpad.net. Search for word 'mirror' [15:33] 7join #ubuntu-dev [15:33] slytherin: I changed, hit reload, and it complained about some files not found. [15:33] jburd, my router supports mac address spoofing hehe so I just had it spoof the mac address of my computer and all is good :D [15:33] gnome does ues Frijolie the basic stuff [15:33] anybody know how to get the mic working? [15:33] indian_munnda: hmmmmm. did it say anything about DHCP discovers? [15:33] jburd: yes you r write its a static ip [15:33] indian_munnda: The other solution is to set up the already configured machine as a proxy for the other machine. [15:33] bazhang: huh? [15:33] roychri: which files? [15:33] whats the best video editor for linux? or is it better to just use virtualbox and install adobe premiere on windows? [15:33] indian_munnda: bridge both network interfaces one to wan and the other to lan [15:34] PAckages.gz [15:34] slytherin: Packages.gz [15:34] indian_munnda: MAC spoofing isn't a very ideal solution. [15:34] mib_5klyf1zq: you may want to try kino or pitivi [15:34] wat about cinelerra? [15:34] indian_munnda: a switch will cost you somewhere around 900 bucks INR. [15:34] indian_munnda: yeah far simpler if other machine is still working [15:34] gord_: i m running DNS server [15:34] I cannot perform updates against http://us.archive.ubuntu.com, however, I can ping it just fine. Is this a known issue? [15:34] anyone speeking french here? I got a bug report (221856 at launchpad.net), but because of the french locale I don't understand it. if anyone could translate it for me, that would be nice. [15:34] okay, so I just installed 8.04 to a ext3 partition but it never modified the boot record and I only have the option to boot into xp [15:34] cvw: the servers are overloaded at the moment [15:34] hello ev'ryone [15:35] cvw: Too many people upgrading. Use a local server/mirror [15:35] jburd: you mean to use a hub [15:35] anyone here use or used conceal? [15:35] indian_munnda: ah yes u did say, i no expert on that , but it might comlicate [15:35] mrTr0ut-> then what are you waiting for? modify it to suit your new install [15:35] indian_munnda: No. I mean use a switch. Not a hub. [15:35] ahaa, before even asking I have my answer === P0larBear is now known as PolarB3ar [15:35] roychri: your comment is unhelpful without a link to a list that can provide local servers or mirrors. [15:35] indian_munnda: The best solution is to use a router with your ISP. [15:35] P0larBear: What player comes up when you select a song to listen to? [15:35] cvw: The list is in synaptic. [15:35] did anything change with the connect to server interfaces? They're not working for me anymore [15:35] hi all [15:36] so, does anyone have a mirrors or local servers list? [15:36] cvw: In "Repositeries" [15:36] P0larBear: At LastFM? [15:36] indian_munnda: Where are you located and which ISP is this? [15:36] Anyone use Conceal? [15:36] cvw: use synaptic to change mirrors and go easy on the volunteers here thanks [15:36] jburd: but ISP is not providing any router. [15:36] fr.ubuntu seems overloaded too [15:36] indian_munnda: Well buy one! [15:36] To all those who are looking for list of mirrors - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors (this one has status too) [15:36] well last time i installed ubuntu it had it's own boot up thing and UI wasn't sure if editing it from xp would work the same, but i'll go ahead and do it now, thank [15:36] i have a problem with compiz... any takers? my System -> Appearance - > Use Custom Settings doesnt work [15:36] jburd: i m in INDIA,delhi.

[16:08] whell gata go to work be back in about 8 hours [16:08] Kcaj-> blame it on me, i was downloading..hehe [16:08] i get this error when im trying to upgrade from the CD not the servers.. [16:08] Kcaj: there should be some just search the ubuntu community docs for them and how to install [16:08] gnychis: I will tell you that after the system updated sat for about 20min looking like it was dead, it started functioning properly for me, and with my local mirror it looks like I'll be done downloading everything I need with a total time of under two hours [16:08] mem_oro_76: What kind of device is it? [16:08] 804 started [16:08] when I try to install nextaw, apt-get says: [16:08] Package nextaw is not available, but is referred to by another package. [16:08] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [16:08] is only available from another source [16:08] RoiG: the cd? you mean the alternate cd--they use the mirrors too [16:08] ov1d1u_nitan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:08] mem_oro_76: Wiping it clean would mean to completely overwrite the partition table [16:08] what can I do? [16:08] nlindblad: and the rest of the free space won't partition as anything cuse of this overlapping partitions error [16:08] rwycuff: I'm looking for one that I can get through Synaptics, I'l tell you how it goes [16:09] it's a USB harddrive [16:09] I'm trying to upgrade from gutsy to heron, but synaptic locks up every time i click on update.... any suggestions? [16:09] RoiG-> how do you know its getting the update from the CD and not remotely? how did you verify this? [16:09] !paste | ov1d1u_nitan [16:09] ov1d1u_nitan: 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) [16:09] mem_oro_76: cat /dev/zero > /dev/device would overwrite everything [16:09] in ubuntu cant i have a lan connection and my wireless connection running at the same time? [16:09] where is the trash folder? [16:09] amenado, thankfully it looks like someone has noticed it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/217514 [16:09] mem_oro_76: fdisk could then re-create the partition table and let you make differently sized partitions [16:09] kernando: yes you can, but i don't think network-manager supports it [16:09] kernando: not practically [16:09] mem_oro_76: Which you could then put filesystems on [16:09] it's reversed in my situation- I'm surprised nobody noticed it earlier... that bug report is for this month [16:09] is there a way to md5sum a directory recursively? [16:09] hmmmmm [16:09] CaptainMorgan-> alright..keep the person on the other end happy, send em cookies and pizza..hehe [16:09] amenado -> because when updating from the CD you can select if install the updated packets from internet or use the ones from CD? [16:10] and it's not a Hardy-specific bug [16:10] how do i know that i'm on LTS and not RC? [16:10] nlindblad: OK, thanks for pointing me in the right [16:10] ,chang your source ,replace gusty to hardy [16:10] Hey does anyone have any idea why my number keypad would stop working after upgrading? Keyboard - sun type 6 [16:10] hey guys has any one noticed that the sound is can become choppy when you are using firefox. [16:10] Calin24: the servers are swamped; first make sure you are using a mirror; then just allow the Update manager to sit there for a long time (20-60min)and it'll probably start working [16:10] mem_oro_76: No problem [16:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64374/ [16:10] * delcoyote hi [16:10] because i just want to be able to ftp through to my other pc sometimes without having to disable my internet [16:10] here are the output [16:10] RoiG-> how do you verify this? did you look at the scripts on what it does? [16:10] where is the trash folder in the file system? [16:10] nlindblad: cat /dev/zero?? what does that do? [16:10] what can I do? [16:10] Kcaj: im not sure if Unrealircd is in ther ebut its more commong [16:10] how is this release an improvement? Everything that was working for me is broken. I get more error messages than windows, I can't drag icons without it freezing, and I can't even quit without it freezing what's up with this... [16:10] mem_oro_76: It's a constant stream of zeroes (0000) [16:10] alright.. thanks [16:10] kernando: sudo ifconfig to set up your other interface manually [16:11] any one know how to stop the error; sudo: unable to resolve host ...? [16:11] amenado -> i unplugged my wired ethernet connection and its the same. its not the servers its a problem with something of the update. [16:11] RoiG-> and if it finds the ones on the cd is older ..do you know if it attempts to retrieve from the archive? [16:11] i met the same problem like you [16:11] #ubuntu-br [16:11] hey there... i need help with my wirless... i need to know how i can mount a USB zew2502 [16:11] but now in 804 [16:11] lirit: ~/.local/share/Trash [16:11] mlw1: did you verify that your hardware was all compatible before the upgrade? [16:11] Calin24: thats what I'm doing and it seems to be working... they key point is to use a local mirror and not the "main server" [16:11] tech0007: thanks [16:11] I think my package manager is broken [16:11] lol [16:11] mlw1 ah he left === mem_oro_76 is now known as mirdin [16:12] RoiG-> i asked you, did you have a chance to look at the scripts in how it upgrades? maybe it does look to the net too if it cant resolve ? [16:12] hey there... i need help with my wirless... i need to know how i can mount a USB zew2502 [16:12] m looking foward for X11/extensions/XTest.h [16:12] i need it in my app but i dont know where hell it is!

It should be one of those. [16:13] Hi guys, each time I install my nvidia drivers on heron, after I restart X, it says it can't find drivers or something and tells me to run in low-resolution. When I try to select nvidia drivers from there, it just fails, altho driver install went just perfectly, can anyone help me with this problem? [16:13] hey there... i need help with my wirless... i need to know how i can mount a USB zew2502 [16:13] kernando: ath0 is wireless eth0 is wired [16:13] MrDakoki-> i'd make google as my friend, if not in your cdrom or on your hd, you may have to download [16:13] So umm, where are all of the repositories for 8.04?

[16:13] hey guys - I am trying to upgrade, however it complains that I either have a pre-release version, or have unofficial packages. what should I do? [16:13] Turms_gutsy: that's a good idea [16:14] I've installed 8.04 three times now on an external HD from my macbook pro... After install it asks to restart. I do so and am not able to boot to the Ubuntu install on the external. Anyone else having this issue? [16:14] Kcaj: Offend them Chronically [16:14] needcdrom: your name says it all.

[16:14] monomo: I can confirm [16:14] andycr i have installed all of them [16:14] kernando-> do verify, use iwconfig to list what is wireless, ifconfig for wired [16:14] needcdrom: please pastebin your sources.list [16:14] lol :) [16:14] I'm having trouble with my wireless, The drivers ARE installed but the blue light doesn't come on..

[16:14] Oh crap [16:14] hello [16:14] i have a linker error in eclipse [16:14] bazhang: pastbinning.. [16:14] The servers are like DOWN [16:14] /etc/apt/ [16:14] sagredo, what do you need? [16:14] what do i need to know before i upgrade to hardy? [16:14] MrDakoki: You got the -dev libraries, and not just the normal ones? [16:14] with the new Hardy release I can't even get apt-get to connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com [16:14] sagredo: /etc/apt/sources.list [16:14] I'm trying to install an ircd and the download rate is UNKNOWN haha [16:14] sagredo: /etc/apt/sourcs.list - it should be [16:14] Package nextaw is not available, but is referred to by another package.

I have no internet connection. The install is running in Hyper-V. To install the HyperV linux integration components I Need to be running the XEN virtualization layer... [16:22] configuration [16:22] Grub is by far the most jacked part of 8.04 [16:22] hey bazhang, i get this [16:22] CyberCod: There is no partitioner in Wubi. Are you sure you didn't boot into the livecd? [16:22] the cd is on my desk [16:22] so yeah, I'm sure [16:22] im trying to change the media prefs in 8.04 so dvds automaticly use vlc but there is no vlc option [16:22] nikitis: works here [16:22] is the DVD version superior to the CD version?

[16:23] Hi, I have a native linux game here that screws up because I'm on dual-monitor, is there a way to emulate a screen or something so that I can play the game properly ? [16:23] and it came up asking me to select timezone (which sucks more than ever now btw) and then tried to start partitioner and crashed [16:23] niteye: the DVD is the LiveCD + Alternate CD + More packages on the disc [16:23] connor_: Try clicking "Custom" in the list and typing vlc in the box [16:23] ere4si, also why on Ubuntuguide.org, it's one of the only things on there, teaching people how to correct it. [16:23] does anyone that uses Lightning as a Thunderbird extension know where the calendar files are stored? [16:23] okay thanks [16:23] does anyone know of a iso image I can use that has the packages needed to get XEN installed in Hardy? [16:23] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64379/ [16:23] bazhang: Could not calculate the upgrade. A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: *Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu, *Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu, *Unofficical software packages not provided by Ubuntu. If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport [16:23] I am having an issue setting up proftpd, it starts, but when i try to connect it says "connection lost" [16:23] niteyejust easier for some folks who have a slow net connection perhaps--more packagages etc [16:23] CyberCod: what's the issue with the timezone map? [16:24] theres no custom option [16:24] what I must to do to compile that? [16:24] that i can find [16:24] gnome-control-center [16:24] nikitis: what errors are you getting?

[16:25] Bert_2, You could try some of the monitor/screen contorl tools to disable the 2nd monitor. or make a different xorg.conf to only enable one monitor. [16:25] Anyone lend any advice for getting the Hyper-V Integration Components for Linux installed in hardy ? [16:25] iusegnulinux: thnks [16:25] connor_: Not sure then, sorry. I'm running 7.10; perhaps it's different. [16:25] nikitis: the boot flag is useless for all modern OSes, not even windows uses it. [16:25] evand: the timezone thing sucks... thats my issue with it. It is hard to control and doesn't have any means of just selecting my actual time zones without needing to know geography [16:25] somebody can help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64379/ [16:25] why did ubuntu ship with a beta version of firefox ? [16:25] Dr_willis: yeah but I find it rather stupid to restart X just for playing a game [16:25] hey bashang, i get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64381/ [16:25] needcdrom: that will be the case with the alternate too; where do you think the newest are checked against but the mirrors? [16:25] for my chipset [16:25] CaptainMorgan: i was wondering the same thing yesterday\ [16:26] anybody know how i can change my 8.04 so dvds automaticly boot in vlc [16:26] hi all, does anyone have any links/documentation for setting up a local ubuntu update server (if it exists?) [16:26] please someone help me , i can't connect to a PPTP vpn server which i've installed , can anyone help me to figure out why ??? , btw i can connect to it with windows . [16:26] nikitis: you can set / as bootable in the install - might be h/ware related [16:26] Flannel: "not even windows" ??? [16:26] Bert_2, try the config tools to change it on the fly.. or restartx,, or do without the game i guess.

It appears to use the machines actual hostname rather than "localhost" to auth things (such as sudo) if you don't have a working dynamic dns setup, and/or your hostname is not in the /etc/hosts file mapping to a reachable ip address, I've seen the auth fail.

[17:46] jharkn: windows was working fine yesterday. then after using ubuntu upgrade manager it changed my menu.lst and now xp link puts me in safemode (the bottom option, the top one gives me an error) [17:46] Pokit per your paste line 130 and 136 both point to same partition, this is incorrect [17:46] is that it? [17:46] rodolfo_: first try to search if it has been already filled, then you can file a BR [17:47] johannix: yes [17:47] amenado, should i change line 130 to (hd0,0) ?

[18:06] wild_oscar: btooth should work out of the box [18:06] What do I lose if I disable ACPI? [18:06] lopin: thanks [18:06] :: Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer. .... what does this mean? how do i know whether i shud click this or not [18:06] Koheleth: That's fine! It happens... :) [18:06] im burning the supergrub disk === masterPC is now known as master1234 [18:06] Noah0504: almost everything - do not do that [18:06] how do i upgrade to ubuntu 8.04 from 7.10?? i have the installation disc of 8.04...

[18:06] i got my friend ubuntu can not boot up.. it's blank, now how to recover the data/documents on it to other media? [18:06] when I'm browsing the device (in nautilus), if I try to transfer a picture to the laptop, i get an error: "Error in stream protocol: end of stream [18:06] is there any method to make kde applications to look like GTK applications? in kde exist the qt-gtk package [18:06] pjoul: Okay, well, it's once solution to a problem I'm having. I was just wondering. [18:06] SimplePlan: The Desktop CD is usually the best choice for doing a fresh install. [18:06] valchers: go to the software manager and search for qt, then scroll down a bit and mark qt-dev-tools [18:06] DBautell im installing [18:06] vignesh: you don't need the CD you can just use the system updater to do the upgrade [18:06] W: Failed to fetch http://tr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.124.0ubuntu2_i386.deb [18:06] Could not connect to tr.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.92.3), connection timed out [18:06] Anyone know why my upgrade tool is locking up? [18:06] manawenuz-> again where in that picture is your client ubuntu and which VPN server you are attempting to connect to? [18:07] bullium, i dont have a direct internet connection.. [18:07] lopin, more info. what's happening? [18:07] i get "Error in stream protocol: end of stream" when I try to copy files bigger than 5 kB to my home folder [18:07] !slow | dusk_ [18:07] oh god. I have spent about 16 hours straight trying to get Ubuntu (or Wubi) installed. It was the goddamn Cable Select setting on my Western Digital drive, causing errors in the ATA module. [18:07] dusk_: The Ubuntu repositories and ISO mirrors are currently under heavy load due to the release of the latest edition. Please consider using !torrents to download ISO images, and be patient with APT updates. [18:07] DBautell im installing for the first time [18:07] oh ok...you can use the alternate CD for the upgrade I believe [18:07] SimplePlan, than you can use either, I believe the alternate is text mode only, though [18:07] duaneb stops doing anything at "Checking Package Manager" and the window goes gray [18:07] from on tell me the CLI command to upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10? [18:07] vignesh: oh ok...you can use the alternate CD for the upgrade I believe [18:07] SimplePlan: The alternate install is good if you like text installs, and you are familiar with it. The alternate CD is also good to kickstart an upgrade. [18:07] amenado: there's no Ubuntu client , except mine :) i'm trying to connect to 213.217.55.30 client with ubuntu and i'm unable to [18:07] wild_oscar, its better to use the send file option in the mobile phone or whatever device from which u wanna transfer the file... [18:07] DBautell then i shudnt check that box? [18:07] amenado: but with windows it's fine [18:07] duaneb: does it with the alt cd as well... [18:07] fysa: yikes! Resolved now though? [18:07] and when I send a file from my WM5 device to ubuntu, bluez says it received it but I have no idea where it was saved! [18:08] manawenuz-> from the drawing is it in the internet cloud? the 192.168.0.x cloud? [18:08] lopin, go to the terminal and type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [18:08] * Mimi asks: How can I reset my gnome session? I can't login unless its failsafe [18:08] Noah0504: okay, but it's not worth that troubles [18:08] bullium, how do i do that? [18:08] lopin, I'd guess that the mirrors are just slow [18:08] since upgrading to 8.04 compiz crashes.. has anyone else had any problems? [18:08] vignesh: "and when I send a file from my WM5 device to ubuntu, bluez says it received it but I have no idea where it was saved!" [18:08] is there any way to get my friend data back from ubuntu? [18:08] pjoul: Thanks for the heads up. [18:08] ^root^: for example: you could install using ubuntu desktop cd then do "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" to have xubuntu aswell [18:08] hi! is it possible to have dual-heads on a nvidia card with ubuntu? [18:08] SimplePlan, I would say probably not, the regular disc will be more comfortable [18:08] duaneb, the local seems to be going faster... [18:08] Noah0504: peace [18:08] amenado: i'll ask it someother how [18:08] lopin, good :) [18:08] wild_oscar, it will be saved in desktop by default.. [18:08] evand, yes. if you hear of people having trouble and casper.log showing "SRST" and /dev/scd0 not found .. ask if they have a Western Digital drive. :P [18:08] The configuration defaults for GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator. I get this error message. [18:08] ok am back [18:08] <^root^> jharkn: yup, that i know, problem is i want to save bandwidth... so i would go with DVD [18:08] Mimi: you should backup your ~/.gnome2 directory and then delete it [18:08] After upgrading from gutsy to hardy. [18:08] amenado: how can i connect that application to 192.168.0.5 [18:09] fysa: heh, will do [18:09] usicow: all I found is that google earth does not like desktop effects enabled on my system [18:09] vignesh: oh, right, there it is! [18:09] vignesh: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [18:09] SimplePlan: The Desktop CD is a good choice if you don't know which to choose. It installs as well. [18:09] amenado: from outside of my network [18:09] duaneb: the tools got a lock on apt-get [18:09] wild_oscar, install the bluetooth file sharing client.. that should solve ur problem.. [18:09] pjoul: thank you very much Ill go try that :) [18:09] ^root^: yeah fair enough, that's the only issue really [18:09] jburd: file a bug then [18:09] here's the pastebin link for the problem with 8139 Network card not detected on Hardy - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64401/ [18:09] my theme settings have gone for a toss [18:09] * jconnolly is back (gone 01:15:33) [18:09] lopin, is it working now? [18:09] Koheleth, damn.. how can I debug this problem? [18:09] half the desktop does not load correctly [18:09] can I have some help with HD automounting? [18:09] Why would I want to upgrade? What new cool stuff do I stand to get? [18:09] #!liban! [18:09] Mimi, rename all hidden directories in your home folder whose names start with .gnome or .gconf (or move them to antoher place as backup copies) [18:09] Mimi: let's try :) [18:09] So did I upgrade or downgrade my OS? [18:09] bullium, the instruction in that page doesn't work for me.. :( [18:09] duaneb no, apt-get can't run, because the tool is sitting there, grinding it's wheels [18:09] manawenuz-> does the 213.217.55.30 server have sshd ? ie can you ssh to it? [18:10] does someone know why my screen flickers when I use the "cube thingy" [18:10] <^root^> jharkn: here, the only thing that makes me sick is bandwidth cost... [18:10] Apart from it saturating my 100mbit connection for 3 minutes, that is? [18:10] usicow: dont know [18:10] amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64401/ [18:10] has anyone tried to install vmware-server on the latest release of ubuntu.

[18:10] amenado: so i'm practicing on my home computer [18:10] suwed: You don't really have to upgrade, but you'll get new versions of new software, your software will be supported for about another year vs. LTS for another 3 years, and you'll have bragging rights! :) [18:10] duaneb Doesn't work... Tried like fifty times... [18:10] jburd: when? after a fresh upgrade? [18:10] kitsune, I had that too. But then i xkilled it a few times, and it worked. [18:10] so.. it's impossible to get the data back since i can not load the ubuntu??? [18:10] lopin, strange :/ [18:10] pjoul: Yes [18:10] hanging on setting new softwae channels, wha do i do??

[18:11] ricanelite: I use AWN [18:11] amenado: it does have sshd and also telnetd and more than that freenx server [18:11] Can someone please point me to a reason to upgrade? Why is there a new release in the first place? I don't understand why I couldn't just get individual package upgrades like I usually do? New backgrounds bundled, whaaat? [18:11] Toyota4Runner: hey man, where's your log? [18:11] bullium, ya i did read the page.. i tried out the command in that page too.. it didn't work..

[18:12] Zaqq your ethernet nic is not showing up, you have to enable it first, perhaps something like sudo ifup eth0; or sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [18:12] vignesh: can you be more specific as to how it didn't work? [18:12] The error message is so bloody stupid: "Please contact your system administrator" Someone needs to get their heads back up where it should be. [18:12] YAY! I was able to restore my gnome session by baking up .gnome ... now... does anyone know how I can make gnome-panel NOT launch? :P [18:12] wow...I havent seen any" works great" messages yet. [18:12] pjoul http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/804 mentions new new backgrounds what so ever. [18:12] The upgrade manager seem to have gotten the hint that I am in the channel and after I xkilled it it seem to download the packages [18:12] manawenuz-> if it has test that ssh connectivity first to 213.217.55.30 [18:12] SimplePlan: Depends. Kubuntu is all shiny, and everything goes together visually... [18:12] When I run sudo apt-get update I get stuck at 99% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.92.22)] Whats up with the server you think? [18:12] dave11: works great for me, been using it for a few weeks [18:12] dave11: works great*! [18:12] suweid: How about http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/? [18:12] It just goes on and on about how some really complex network setups may be adversely effected. [18:12] bullium, i issued the command "gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" .. it asked for admin passwd.. i gave it.. then no response was there.. [18:12] SimplePlan: matter of preference [18:12] SimplePlan: while ubuntu is all just simple, and easy to use...

[18:12] amenado: i'm telling you this server have been switched off [18:12] dave11: no problems here! [18:13] My suggestion to the Ubuntu team: Get the fscking upgrade process stabilized first. [18:13] amenado: and it is about 100 KM away [18:13] suweid: many more improvements [18:13] wild_oscar, cool.. [18:13] No problem, I hope that helps. :) [18:13] vignesh: do u know how to change the default receive folder? [18:13] should I clean the ubuntu registry like in windows? I mean is there anyway, should I do it?? [18:13] vignesh: you gave it your password correct? [18:13] 3 out of 1500 is a start [18:13] amenado: i should know what i want to do , so i can do it by tomorrow morning [18:13] * jburd has never had any upgrade work [18:13] hanging on setting new software channels, what do i do??

[18:13] n0iCe, there is no registry to clean ;) [18:13] wild_oscar, i dont think that is possible.. [18:13] manawenuz-> does the 213.217.55.29 have any firewalling? and only allow certain ip address to connect to it before it forwards to 213.217.55.30 ? [18:14] no it doesn't [18:14] amenado: do u want me to do anything else? wht if the driver is not installed? [18:14] pjoul, ddrplayer512: That link wants to sell ubuntu to me. I'm already sold on ubuntu. I want to know "diff 710 804" [18:14] amenado: no it doesn't [18:14] vignesh: it has to be the alternate CD not the original Live CD [18:14] can i get kubuntu after i install ubuntu ... like install the KDE thing ... will it b exactly like kubuntu? enlighten me [18:14] amenado: it's just an unintelligent router :D [18:14] I'll do some more looking.. okay? [18:14] suweid: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/ [18:14] Zaqq-> if driver is not installed, then install it and make it work first [18:14] how come 3 days ago I could install ubuntu-xen-server as a package on gutsy and now am no longer able to? (I get package not found) [18:14] SimplePlan: Yes... [18:14] SimplePlan: yes [18:14] and what is the recommended way to install it? (on amd64) [18:14] bullium, alternate cd??? where do i get it from? [18:14] amenado: i dont know how to install a driver ... [18:14] well I am off [18:14] SimplePlan: Once you install ubuntu, install the Kubuntu-desktop metapackage in apt-get [18:14] then what happens to the gnome after i insstall kde? [18:15] SimplePlan: That's kinda how Kubuntu does it... [18:15] why doesnt the restricted driver for my proset wireless show up under restricted drivers in 8.04 as it did in 7.10 [18:15] suweid: pulseaudio, gio, gnome2.22, firefox3 [18:15] SimplePlan, you will be able to choose between gnome and kde from the sessions menu in the login screen.. [18:15] SimplePlan: It's still there... The gnome login manager can start kde, and vice versa [18:15] pjoul, yes - it says that firefox 3 beta is bundled now. Why couldn't i just install it. Ohh, new gnome? [18:15] houston i got a problem [18:15] manawenuz-> if what you say is correct being un-intelligent, how does the packet gets forwarded to 213.217.55.30 ? [18:15] vignesh: quickest way to download right now is using bit torrent http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ it's at the bottom of that page [18:15] * Mimi asks: does anyone know how I can make gnome-panel NOT launch? :P [18:15] ubuntus method of editing grub is in the dark ages [18:15] any one having problems with fstab [18:15] simpleplan: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde though I think it's a little outdated now, you should use "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" in the terminal [18:15] And it's not like Ubuntu is a fairly new distro. [18:15] but wont that b extra load??? gnome and kde together .... shud i just get kubuntu then? [18:15] huh? [18:15] bullium, okie .. ty.. [18:15] is it worth it to verify a disc after burning a iso (of ubuntu 8.04) [18:16] Zaqq-> you have to google for your nic card, visit the vendors web site please [18:16] vignesh: np [18:16] SimplePlan, if u just want kde u can go for kubuntu.. [18:16] suweid: if you don't want it - don't install it. that'sso easy [18:16] don't use apt-get to install kubuntu-desktop [18:16] It's about time the distro gained stability during upgrades. [18:16] SimplePlan: well they don't run at the same time [18:16] If you do, you won't be able to remove it alter [18:16] Use aptitude. [18:16] amenado: it knows to redirect every packets to just one ip , which is .30 [18:16] simpleplan: though you obviously have to store the files for each on disk [18:16] i don't have system and home icons on my desktop...how can i get them??

[18:17] I'm running VMWARE Workstation on 8.04 [18:17] something like skype static linked or something [18:17] Steufeubeu, how is it running? [18:17] suweid: I also think this will help: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/804overview [18:17] suweid: and mind that fact that hardy will be supported longer than gutsy [18:17] Steufeubeu: where you running it on 7.10 and did the upgrade?

[18:18] simpleplan: well yeah probably but you could do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" from kubuntu instead [18:18] how long is .710 going to be supported? [18:18] valchers: search for qt [18:18] amenado: and i'm asking you for a solution [18:18] amenado: :) [18:18] manawenuz-> can you not enable the sshd on .30 so you can ssh in?

[18:19] but i have heard vmware is faster [18:19] pjoul: Yeah, I don't know what "Support" rather than googling for help or coming here and complaining is. And I don't think either are going to be outlasted by "LTS" from canonical. [18:19] manawenuz-> thats the first thing i would try, enable the sshd [18:19] amenado: it's in somesort of organization out of town , which switch off all it's computers in the evening [18:19] mine is 7.6.3, but that shouldn't makea a difference [18:19] what do more ppl prefer ubuntu or kubuntu?

[19:02] welly: it can [19:02] Sake, you dont need dist-upgrade for the patches [19:02] welly: I'm using a wubi install currently [19:02] Sake: since there are dependencies and so on that might cause more problems [19:02] jharkn: the common one [19:02] welly: err, i missunderstood [19:02] harking, im gonna try via command line, see if can get any good output [19:02] you have to reboot to use it [19:02] graingert: yeha, I have.. weird [19:02] noodlesgc: good luck ;) [19:03] harking: ahh gotcha [19:03] !memory [19:03] A quick FAQ on Memory Management: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management For Lubos Lunak's desktop memory usage comparison, see: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html [19:03] welly: it is not like a virtual machine [19:03] !developer [19:03] Want to become an Ubuntu developer? Look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newdev and the Wiki (http://wiki.ubuntu.com) for involvement in specific projects such as Kubuntu or Xubuntu. [19:03] i was wondering if there was a way to grap a pid (like doing a fg) ? (i was doing a dist-upgrade and the ssh session was killed, the process is still running and i dont want to kill it) [19:03] mut80r: well, i was watching the moving graph in system monitor, i just switched to a different tab and it dropped off [19:03] !memory upgrade [19:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about memory upgrade - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:03] lastelement0 : tellme about your wireless card [19:03] Jack_Sparrow: what do you do for the patches then? [19:03] roffe__ ok tabcomplete flashplugin [19:03] damn, it's so hard to follow anything on this channel... this is insane [19:03] graingert: I do it from synaptic instead [19:03] Lapinux: the graph eats CPU :P [19:03] CyberCod: ok no problems. i'll run it from vmware player then I think [19:03] amikrop: sorry I don't really know, if mixer is a part of csound then try "csound --help" or google [19:03] add/remove programs freezes after I click apply [19:03] !gentoo [19:03] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [19:03] Sake, keep current with the updates and you will be fine [19:03] amikrop: sorry I can't really help === bIue112 is now known as blue112 [19:03] ratalin: ps aux | less, more specifically, ps aux | grep ssh [19:03] jajahuser29: im pretty sure that its an intel 3945? i know that its an intel not broadcom like most had and i have a dell inspiron e1505 laptop [19:03] !lts [19:03] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [19:03] Jack_Sparrow: How do i do that on a server (no gui)? apt-get upgrade? [19:04] mut80r: im stunned that it was that much though [19:04] welly, it will run better installed via wubi... and you can remove it if you want to later [19:04] Sake: have you looked at the upgrade suggestions on the website? [19:04] Will someone please tell me this Hardy release is some kind of joke?`It's horrible! My network card no longer works out of the box, and now that I'm in my base system trying to reinstall everything, my work is being post-poned by the computer locking up EVERY time it's supposed to give a system beep (like each time I tab or press the damn left arrow key). Anyone has any idea as to how I can... [19:04] ...atleast fix the looking up prob and I'll be fine! [19:04] how can i add a theme to my themes folder in ubuntu? [19:04] Flannel: thanks but that shows the process i want to put it in the fg so i can use it [19:04] Lapinux: depends on hwo big the graph is. I know it eats half of mine when I maximize the window [19:04] graingert: I installed the flashplugin-nonfree... how do I get firefox to use it instead of the other one? [19:04] CyberCod: i would do but i need to access windows fairly regularly throughout the day (unfortunately) and so rebooting every 1/2 hour or so might become a bit of a pain [19:04] ratalin: You can't [19:04] kaminix, please tone it down... [19:04] welly: it is *not* emulation or virtualization. [19:04] jharkn: I want the common one. That what exists in every new installation. [19:04] add/remove apps freazes [19:04] Flannel: thanks :) damn [19:04] scizzo-: you don't understand what I'm trying to do. What I'm doing is installing an older version of ubuntu from scratch, but making sure that it is updated, without jumping to a new version. [19:05] lastelement0 : type in terminal :lspci and the copy to pastebin page [19:05] sake yes [19:05] ratalin: and actually, it'll kill itself in a bit when it times out. You should look into GNU screen [19:05] so in a nutshell, what's the difference between dist-upgrade and upgrade? [19:05] Jack_Sparrow: You do need dist-upgrade for updates [19:05] CyberCod go to synaptics and search flash, remove (+purge) the one you don't need [19:05] amikrop: alsamixer is common, try running it,see if it's what you're looking for [19:05] Sake: one pulls in new dependencies, the other wont (new dependencies include new kernels) [19:05] !upgrade [19:05] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [19:05] harking try this sudo do-release-upgrade it seems to be working [19:05] noodlesgc: it just started working again [19:06] graingert: i = stupid today... I shoulda thought of that [19:06] mut80r: check it out http://howtolinux.us/screenshots/Screenshot.png [19:06] noodlesgc: doh, nevermind, locked again [19:06] when I type sudo apt-get install then the program, it says unable to resolve host [19:06] ty all. bye [19:06] I am getting alot of "dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/wlan0" messages in my logs could this be part of my slow wireless problem? and if so how do I fix it? please [19:06] do-release-upgrdae eh? [19:06] Sake: since linux-image-* depends on linux-image-[version]-* and the version numbers change, its a new depends, you need dist-upgrade to bring it in [19:06] * harking tries it [19:06] Flannel, Odd, I had never head that [19:06] jajahuser29: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64405/ [19:06] CyberCod: lolbike [19:06] Lapinux: all I can say is ouch ;) [19:06] harking i get error : could not calculate the upgrade. [19:06] Jack_Sparrow: its the only way to get new kernels.. most other packages won't need it, since their package names wont change, but most people consider kernels to be security updates ;) [19:07] !slow > simonft2 [19:07] Jack_Sparrow: Tone it down? All changes I've seen since installing the RC have been for the worse, and I've been an Ubuntu user since Hoary. Anyway, I'm looking for ideas as to how I can fix so that it won't lock up at pretty much random so I can install my system in peace [19:07] <[T]-Rex> if i want to upgrade my 7.10 to 8.04, do i get alternate or desktop cd ? [19:07] how do i change folder options so that i can copy stuff into it? [19:07] CyberCod: purge is required so firefox does not look for the plugin [19:07] graingert: so how do I fix the gnome-panel? [19:07] ok [19:07] thanks [19:07] mut80r: i saw that graph and was like, what the heck, and the processes tab wasnt matching up [19:07] [T]-Rex: Alternate CD [19:07] no help huh? [19:07] graingert: same as "complete removal" right? [19:07] how do i change folder options so that i can copy stuff into it? [19:07] jbur1: I don't know, I think a reinstall of gnome right [19:07] Anyone elses apt-get take FOREVER to connect to the ubuntu archive? [19:07] <[T]-Rex> ok [19:07] kaminix, you can ask a question without the tone and get better results. [19:07] mut80r: thanks for the help [19:07] All is working well [19:07] absnt: Everyone is trying to download lots of stuff right now, yes the mirrors are slow [19:07] absnt: perhaps it is being flooded by the upgrades? no clue if that is it tho [19:07] Lapinux: no problem [19:08] CyberCod: yeah apt and synaptics use different words ---> bug! [19:08] my upgrade crashed-- how can I revive ADEPT? It now says that it cannot commit [19:08] Flannel: Thats what I figured, =/ oh well [19:08] Hi guys, I'm having a hard time implementing nocat splash on dd-wrt v24 Rc-7.

Then it'll sign in, saying that the gnome settings daemon didn't start, and then a minute later the logon sound plays. Any ideas?

[19:27] i have windows on it [19:27] SimplePlan: i split mine perfectly in half but make sure you clear your cookies and defragment before you partition [19:27] efrancolaporte the only solution is probably to wait a few days [19:27] and lotsa files [19:27] i have x64 hardy, and it's perfect :) [19:28] anyone knows how to work? [19:28] gafotoa: yes [19:28] boy: it's far from it [19:28] SimplePlan: as i said, just clear your cookies and defragment [19:28] sploby: nope, no job [19:28] sploby: be specific please.

[19:33] the forums are overloaded even when there's not a fresh new release [19:33] don't want to lose my windows and the files (ubuntu won't let me into my windows partition) [19:34] @instantsoup in all likelyhood you haven't lost them [19:34] when did the 8.04 update go out? the forums were working fine last night [19:34] v0lksman: both [19:34] we should almost be telling people to wait a few weeks on installing Hardy, since support will be hard to get right now [19:34] sploby: hahaha...hardy? [19:34] v0lksman: Gutsy [19:34] i have no issues getting ito my windows install [19:34] is there an alternative to alsamixer on hardy?

[19:35] neither is better SimplePlan [19:35] @SimplePlan, it's not really better [19:35] the problem is, that alsamixer says: [19:35] v0lksman: not even open [19:35] nucco: use a torretn it will be faster [19:35] it's more of an apples / oranges situation [19:35] they are both tools, it really depends on what you wont [19:35] want [19:35] SimplePlan: don't start!

Use both and you can make an informed decision. [19:35] NukeSkyjumper [19:35] @SimplePlan although if you wanted to learn programming you might find linux an easier situation [19:35] SimplePlan : its like saying why is a ferrari better than a pickup truck?

[19:35] ive been a windows user and pro-windows for ages [19:36] @simonft2: well windows, not vista ok :) [19:36] simple plan: because it's open source code allows constant updates to be made, it allows for a wide range of security and bug fixes and innovative software to be made for it [19:36] lol [19:36] v0lksman: sudo apt-get envy [19:36] only now that windows crashes every 5 seconds i got a bit annoyed so switched [19:36] im still dualbooting though [19:36] rym: same here =] [19:36] has anyone noticed that update-manager is fucked too [19:36] is it gonna make my computer way faster than it is on windows?

[21:04] Hey guys....I've just updated to Hardy, and now my Evolution crashes every so often and complains about an unsafe exit when I restart it. Anyone know the problem? [21:04] can you guys check ubuntu.com in IE?? [21:04] gogeta: just can't do torrent on it [21:04] kindofabuzz: you still *downloaded* the CD right? [21:04] i wonder how big the entire repository is... [21:04] Administrator_: ok, well about 30 minutes left to install, wehn you see me log ogg here, that means i'm rebooting, if i don't come back within 10 minutes, it didn't work =) [21:04] _lemsx1_: yeah except that one doesn't so segmented downloads I think [21:05] LOGAN, since probably 99% of us are using ubuntu now, possibly not, what's wrong? [21:05] flithm: just use wget from the command line, its useful [21:05] fbc: yeah d4x doesn't seem so modern to me [21:05] nucco: yeah, torrent, only took like 45 minutes [21:05] <_lemsx1_> flithm: what do you mean by "segmented" ? [21:05] I had a heck of a time getting my nvidia 7300gt 512mb working, every time I told it to use the driver for it said it was and restarted and wasn't using it when I restarted, had to install them with apt-get and edit my xorg.conf [21:05] nibsa1242b: wget doesn't do segmenting [21:05] Can anyone just please help me? :-( I don't know how to get my soundcard to work.

[21:05] i stand corrected :) [21:05] guys i need help I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and now it wont detect my nvidia GPU [21:05] _lemsx1_: like break up the download into X pieces and download them simultaneously [21:05] Daisuke_Ido : iguess ubuntu doent need more windows users then [21:05] kindofabuzz: *silly me*, [21:05] kindofabuzz: hehe.. I can't grep any bcm on lsmod [21:05] the site looks incomplete under IE [21:05] LOGAN, wait what? [21:05] ah... [21:05] <_lemsx1_> flithm: like download accelerator ? [21:05] Yes i would like to have file sharing, but if i open up "Network" i can go to Windows Network" then "Workgroup" but after that it is empty [21:05] _lemsx1_: yeah! [21:06] only an image, no text [21:06] Administrator_: you wanna try what i'm gonna do? [21:06] i thought you were asking if we in particular were using IE [21:06] <_lemsx1_> flithm: use wine and run that then ;-) [21:06] LOGAN: scroll down [21:06] The Ubuntu livecd doesn't show any display on my box.

[21:06] <_lemsx1_> flithm: that should work [21:06] ubus: yes [21:06] oh my that looks weird [21:06] joshua__: you can do "Places > Connect to server" and then select "windows share" and just type the name of the windows PC inside the "server" field [21:06] except maybe time.. :) [21:06] flithm, A good segmented downloaded it bittorrent... very fast too... [21:06] time to run back to the laptop to finish backing things up [21:06] LOGAN: it looks a bit messed up, but it's usable [21:06] so i can reformat :D [21:06] yeah i guess so [21:07] any way to make my NTFS partitions automount in hardy like they did in gutsy? do I have to edit fstab manually? [21:07] fbc: haha thanks :) [21:07] i wonder if it's possible to recreate my dell reinstall partition with hardy... [21:07] then what?

[21:16] xsane exits immedietly on startup with (7.10) :: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [21:16] ubuntu is up to date with the rolling distros for a few days, wooo! [21:16] fbc: Exactly what I did. [21:17] i cant view files shared on a windows network [21:17] kindofabuzz: how about ndiswrapper? [21:17] to add the user "ugur" to group of root, should i edit the line "root:x:0" to "root:x:0:ugur" in the /etc/group file? [21:17] I don't have a CLI - terminal is not open [21:17] Administrator_: if you google around there are like 30 ways people have gotten there to work [21:17] karamazov: adding them to the root group won't do anything [21:17] <[T]-Rex> how do i extract a .tar.bz2 in terminal ? === mut80r is now known as mut80r|TV [21:17] tar xf *.tar.bz2 [21:17] [T]-Rex: tar -xjf file.tar.bz2 [21:17] [T]-Rex: man tar [21:18] j and - are redundant [21:18] Starnestommy: [21:18] BTW, I'm running 7.10 on an old 400 MHz P-II, 128MB RAM, 14GB HD ... runs fine with one strange glitch (not a performance issue) ... hopefully 8.04 will be about as fast (and hopefully fix the glitch) [21:18] joshua__: ah. not familiar with samba myself, but have tried it before and it works. i believe it's on the windows side for not allow you to view; permission issue? [21:18] fbc: My (any user for that matter) GNOME desktop does not show icons in the menus, does not render using the correct themes, does not use desktop effects, and the power manager refuses to budge [21:18] ok, to give my user administrator privileges, what should i change in the /etc/group file [21:18] Skapare have you thought about xubuntu? [21:18] xsane exits immedietly on startup with (7.10) :: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [21:18] how can i make myself an administrator?

[21:18] karamazov: you probably need to edit /etc/sudoers or add the user to the admin group [21:18] karamazov: add yourself to the admin group [21:18] karamazov: use sudo [21:18] LukeL: yeah ... but I decided regular Ubuntu was fine as performance goes [21:18] ok thank you [21:19] karamazov: add your self to the admin group [21:19] Skapare that's good to hear [21:19] how do i use Samba?? and my network works if im on vista or xp, but just ubuntu i can see the network and workgroup, but not any of the files on them.

[21:20] LukeL: it's this funny glitch I'd like to fix ... when I move the mouse, it produces a buzz (for fast moves) or clicks (for very slow moves) in the sound card output ... while playing sound actually works fine otherwise [21:20] Kindofbuzz what card are u using?

[21:32] joshua__: not sure what you mean. could you view the share files when you created the bookmark? [21:32] Hi! I'm just running Rhythmbox in Magnatune mode (it streams music from the Magnatune label). While doing so the volume button in the player disappears! I'd really like to see it. Any ideas? [21:32] hi everyone [21:32] can anyone tell me how to reduce space between icons on the desktop?????? [21:32] When I login, the sound doesn't play, and a grey box appears for 5 minutes [21:32] for 8.04 [21:32] gpled: slow mirror, unplug the network to get past it [21:32] []Mupp: maybe it's whatever program you're using to burn the iso? [21:32] roffe__: surfing, logging in to X etc should not be done via root.... [21:32] is there some uniform way to configure laptops fn keys [21:32] dystopianray: k [21:33] I've tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/SpeedTouch but I don't know if i'm doing anything right. [21:33] <[]Mupp> vlet: easy enough to check I guess..*checks* [21:33] ok.. thanks I'll look into it, as long as I need to type it less often :) [21:33] I need help installing nvidia driver for 8800gtx on ubuntu 8.04 please [21:33] roffe__: if you want to open files as root often , you can create a launcher to gksudo "gnome-open %u" and drag the file(s) on it [21:33] IcemanV9 low resolution .. [21:33] dystopianray: lol [21:33] indian_munnda: it might be in gconf-editor [21:33] dystopianray: worked [21:33] emorris: what kinda zany irc client are you using o_O [21:34] did you get the revision Chillum ? [21:34] gpled: all it was doing was sudo apt-get update, you can do that later at any point [21:34] ptn107: i m not getting it there. [21:34] No i couldnt view them [21:34] emorris: why? [21:34] if you were to create a network what would you do? [21:34] FooAtari: revision? [21:34] emorris: because your messages come out somewhat garbled [21:34] any body having problams installind nvidia driver on 8.04? [21:34] Sorry, not sure what you mean there. [21:34] emorris: thanks I'll try it... But now I was trying to share files over smb, and in 8.04 it demands that the "administrator" grants access for me [21:34] joshua__: as said to you before, verify the permissions on the windows side. [21:34] How risky is shrinking a windows parition? [21:35] what do you mean? [21:35] shrinkind a partition is fine on vista [21:35] xsane exits immedietly on startup with (7.10) :: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [21:35] no problem, little risk [21:35] Vlet: the one with the spaces was put there to make the command clear, rather than extra quotes etc [21:35] ptn107: i m using gutsy. [21:35] joshua__, its xp parition I want to shrink so I can install hardy. [21:35] it works if im in vista or xp [21:35] not sure about xp [21:35] indian_munnda: im using hardy, i cant find it in gconf-editor either [21:35] Can anyone advise of an ftpd apart from proftpd? [21:35] norton has partition magic, which i hear does a good job, but not free [21:36] does anybody know what that means, what alsamixer says: [21:36] tofaffy: i've seen it done half a dozen times, only ever failed once, when the person converted their windows partitoin to a dynamic volume, windows wouldn't boot after it was resized [21:36] hi just upgraded and was led to believe that in the latest release you could view your folders using a thumbnail view. I can't seem to locate this option. is it possible (this is a basic feature which should have been in form the start IMHO!) [21:36] sometimes stuff turns up on torrent though [21:36] Chillum, stick this command into the terminal grep -B 1 "THOMSON" /proc/bus/usb/devices [21:36] Lloydie-t: sftp. think thats the name [21:36] I'm really depressed that no one can help me. Yes,you gave me some links but there are some things I still don't understand. [21:36] ALSA lib simple_none.c:1738:(simple_add1) helem (MIXER,'Headphone Playback Switch',0,2,0) appears twice or more [21:36] alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument [21:36] hi! having a strange problem. I'm using a python script so that amarok can handle my keyboard buttons and such, but the strange thing is that if i run "python gnome_media_keys.py" in a terminal things is fine. However, if i use the Run program thing (Alt + F2) and "python gnome_media_keys.py", then python is eating all of my CPU. How come? [21:36] emorris: ahh... then maybe it's just your client prepending some utf-8 characters onto the beginning of your messages [21:36] "Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share." that's what it says in the GUI for "File manager" [21:36] Hey everybody, I upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy, I got a REALLY bad problem, can anyone help me here??? [21:36] how can i install kde 4 on hardy [21:36] Vlet: on every message? [21:36] how do you find the gateway of a machine from the command line? [21:36] Xecuter88: check ~/.xsession-errors to see if there is any unusual output from python [21:36] Thanks dystopianray, I quit using ubuntu a few months ago due to not having time to manage it but It's almost summer so no more putting up with 8th grade and such...and I start at my new MUCH BETTER ENVIROMENT school next year so I think I can deal with it again. [21:36] GF: state your problem [21:36] Arkaic: i have permission on vista or xp, is there any other permissions? [21:37] GF: state the problem you were experiencing. :-) [21:37] m55: ifconfig? [21:37] m55: route -n or ifconfig [21:37] sudo apt-get install kde4-core [21:37] Stiny: did you ask a question? [21:37] tofaffy: good luck with it [21:37] Thanks [21:37] how do i make my name yellow? [21:37] Yes I did. Couple time. [21:37] mohbana [21:37] FooAtari: Funnily enough, I tried that. Don't get anything back. Don't think it worked! [21:37] is vsftpd OK? [21:37] how do you set the gateway of a machine [21:38] what did it say Chillum ? must be something? [21:38] milly1234: you there? [21:38] Lloydie-t: thats the one [21:38] Well, be patient, ask again occationally, and if you really can't get an answer, it's likely because no one knows the answer to your question. [21:38] if i have a debian package file that i use dpkg to install, what switch must i use so its igrnored by aptitude [21:38] FooAtari: I don't quite remember exactly what it said. [21:38] is it possible in hardy to browse your folders as thumbnails? [21:38] I need help installing nvidia restricted driver please any body. [21:38] ...i'll go back and try again and note down the exact message. Back in a little while. [21:38] Lloydie-t: vsftpd is considered by many to be the best ftp server [21:38] any chance you can do it again Chillum [21:38] I think someone decided to slipstream an wubi.exe update at the last minute and didn't update the MD5SUMS [21:39] m55: system>admin>network [21:39] !icon [21:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about icon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:39] m55: please read both the above answers from me and another!!! [21:39] Stiny: I see you asked, "can I get some help?" [21:39] Thanks for the info I have just installed it [21:39] PKsteR it's easy [21:39] xsane exits immedietly on startup with (7.10) :: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [21:39] Vlet: The problem is that If I get a link a to a guide I don't understand it and unsure about. Not because it's english it's because I really have no idea what to do. [21:40] not that ease I tried intslling them with the resticted driver manager but when i reboot they are not installed [21:40] hwo do i creat a symlink? [21:40] Stiny: Well, this is kind of an on-the-fly help chatroom... not really a seminar. Specific questions will be more likely to be answered. [21:40] Hi [21:40] PKsteR hmm [21:40] nixnoob: man ln [21:40] will I be able to dual boot windows vista 32 bit and ubuntu 8.04 64 bit? My processor is Intel Core 2 Duo which is 32 and 64 bit compatible [21:40] seriously, I'm going nuts over the new sharing program... It asks me to get permission, but it never asks me to type in a password.. has anyone else tried the new share in 8.04? [21:40] hey guys im having a bluetooth problem [21:40] ubuntucool123: yes [21:41] ubuntucool123: yes you will bea ble to, whether either OS is 32-bit or 64-bit is irrelevant [21:41] I had the Ubuntu 8.04 beta installed, and now that it's been released if I just do the standard package updates will I be able to upgrade from beta to release? [21:41] nixnoob: ln -s target-path symlink-path [21:41] cgegner: yes [21:41] I know "milly1234" had the same problem and found a solution but she/he is ither away or just ignoring me. and my friend google is not really helping ither [21:41] Im trying to install ubuntu from a usbstick and when i booted it up after choose keyboard it ask for it cant mount the CDrom [21:41] cgegner: that's right [21:41] ok thanks [21:41] ptn107, that's what I thought [21:41] What's the tool used to manage which programs have access to which keys in my keyring? [21:41] dystopianray, thanks [21:41] can anyone help me with bluetooth headsets? [21:41] !ask | n000b [21:41] n000b: 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. :-) [21:41] i upgraded to hardy on my laptop but it keeps dimming the display. how can i fix this ? [21:41] ubuntucool123, you might consider running the 32 bit version of ubuntu. less problems that way [21:41] is vlet a bot [21:42] are there any recommended web interfaces for vsftpd based on PHP [21:42] No, ubotu is a bot, I'm a human [21:42] n000b: no, ubotu is the bot [21:42] Vlet: I understand, but where else can I get help? [21:42] i cant seem to connect to my bluetooth headset [21:42] !hi [21:42] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:42] n000b: no they are telling you to ask the q instead of beating about the bush!

It has the right shape, but instead of the title bar, frame, close button, etc it is just solid black. I can click where the buttons should be and they work, but they're not visible. Window decorations on all my other apps (at least the ones I've used so far) have been fine. I just tried re-downloading and re-installing th [21:42]  n000b: more info please [21:42] Stiny: Google, books...?

[21:44] Did anyone know how I could be granted permission in the new sharing software? [21:44] n000b: then perhaps it's not supported. Have you TRIED searching? [21:44] sudo mount -o loop file.iso mountpoint (What should i use as a mountpoint)????? [21:44] Vlet: I don't even know my soundcard. I don't know how to search for answers.

[21:44] dystopianray, lost my connection.... didn't find anything in .xsession-error [21:44] cgegner, yea but its plugged into the ac now and its still doing that so thats not the cause of the problem [21:44] hey can someone tell me the shortcut to run something in hardy?

[21:45] Xecuter88: i'm not sure why it would take up so much cpu then, it's very strange [21:45] Pandemic: or try ctrl-f2 [21:45] ptn107: i got a 8800gtx but the driver wont install, for some reason i have to re-inwstall them when i re boot so im forced to use low graphics mode every time [21:45] hi [21:45] engie: -- there's been problems since yesterday [21:45] n000b: in the terminal [21:45] realcoolguy_ nop I dont think so [21:45] daemon3: better than yesterday, you should be ok [21:45] drivetrax: Thanks [21:45] !help [21:45] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

However, I don't see an "upgrade" option. Yes, my system is fully updated. [21:46] amerio, well connect your laptop with a wire to the router (have you ever used the wireless before on that router?) some make you enable it, and set the IP pool [21:46] engie: -- why, i tried to apt-get a file, and it took quiet a while before it started [21:46] ptn107: it say that they are anabled and that i need to restart but when i do i have to do it again.

[21:47] Vlet: I gues Linux isn't for me. Maybe because I can't solve simple problems. :) [21:47] anyone else know? having a strange problem. I'm using a python script so that amarok can handle my keyboard buttons and such, but the strange thing is that if i run "python gnome_media_keys.py" in a terminal things is fine.

Xfce4-terminal is opening without window decorations. It has the right shape, but instead of the title bar, frame, close button, etc it is just solid black. I can click where the buttons should be and they work, but they're not visible. Window decorations on all my other apps (at least the ones I've used so far) have been fine. I tried re-downloading and re-installing the xfc [21:55] |jess|: all you need.. is there. is it Dual Boot You Want? [21:55] jPratt, you can actually update packages now [21:55] corbett, are you using the Maxtor DriveLock™ software? [21:55] says something about the file formate?

I just don't understand why it was demoted or something.. === administ1ator is now known as NeednVidiaHelp [21:55] jPratt, the only reason i'm even upgrading is so i can update libconfuse [21:55] lol [21:55] cl: does the alternate version install an X server, or should I try xubuntu? [21:55] sarah_bear: burning them as data or audio? [21:56] jPratt-> nothing i see yet myself, i haft to try the bcm43xx chips and see [21:56] what does that mean?? sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Apr 26 00:37:15 2008 [21:56] 8.04 & graphics is very slow on my IBM T41p notebook!

[21:56] can't get higher than 800x600 resolution [21:56] btw are what do people find to be the least resource intensive web browser minus dillo [21:56] fbc: i'm not sure whether or not ati has a gui configuration tool, perhaps someone else knows? otherwise xorgsetup is a graphical tool to edit your xorg.conf [21:56] as audio dystopianray [21:56] Only thing i noticed is the Firefox [21:56] adiabatic, dunno, never tried it. only saw that is was specifically for systems with <384MB RAM [21:56] xkcdr0ckz: What video card? [21:56] ja-barr: lynx [21:56] minus text-based [21:56] amenado: my system is up and running [21:56] jPratt, i wouldn't notice that; i've been using Firefox 3 betas for months :p [21:56] sarah_bear: make sure you have this installed: libk3b2-extracodecs [21:56] me to [21:56] ok [21:56] let me check, [21:56] chubs thanks [21:56] fbc behind all those gui, its the xorg.conf that gets modified [21:56] or atleast when i had Windows [21:56] hello.... i would like to perform the upgrade to Hardy with my Hardy CD and not the web, how do i do this if my bios doest boot off my only working CD drive? [21:56] adiabatic, i put the regular version on a Sempron 3000 with 256MB once. Took 2 hrs to install and was dog slow [21:57] ptn107: yes the are installed [21:57] i want to upgrade throught Gutsy to Hardy [21:57] Firefox was still at 2.0.0.9 when i switched to Linux :p [21:57] Does wubi negatively impact performance at all? [21:57] gpled so be happy, what is the complaint? [21:57] thought bittorents solved the load problem years ago [21:57] i installed a gnome icon theme. despite having installed it all icons changed except for folder icons. the folder icons instead of switching went to "standard gnome" icons. how can i fix ? [21:57] amenado: cant get update [21:57] hmm dystopianray it says "E: Couldn't find package libk3b2-extracodecs [21:57] " [21:57] lindo, a little bit. you probably won't notice. [21:57] where can i setup my notebook special keys plz help [21:57] lindo, the bigger probl is that you can't mount your windows drive though. [21:57] gpled: apt doesn't work over bittorrent though [21:57] gpled-> i already told you the servers are extremely busy, just be patient [21:57] sarah_bear: are you using hardy? [21:57] hmm [21:57] lindo: Wubi is a Loop Mounted Ubuntu. Not going to change Partitions.. it can be mounted with LVM.. [21:57] i am using gusty [21:58] ibleed: you can add the name of that jpg to your theme icon folder and it will put it on automatically [21:58] dystopianray: should i add a close server to download? [21:58] hey alls, my computer won't let me update from gutsy to hardy for some reason [21:58] thanks pen [21:58] PKsteR: check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, in the section under 'Device' the Driver should be "nvidia"; heres my xorg.conf file for reference http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64423/ [21:58] lindo: you can also install ubuntu and not change the mbr, and use a usb boot stick [21:58] lindo: unetbootin - is a network via internet install that will partition and make MBR [21:58] gotcha, and you'd consider that preferable to a boot cd or some such? [21:58] sarah_bear: make sure you have this packaged installed: libk3b2-mp3 [21:58] <|jess|> drivetrax: I already have 2 distros and wanted to add ubuntu. [21:58] needcdrom-> the server side may be busy [21:58] it complains about there being unofficial software on my sistem or somethying [21:58] ok [21:58] ibleed: that's why I love linux. It's all customization [21:58] pulseaudio is crashing when I login to my Hardy [21:58] it's not related to the server [21:58] gpled: that may help [21:58] guys where can i find my windows files while im using ubuntu?

[21:59] GNUtoo, hello [21:59] I already have that installed dystopianray [21:59] Thanks chubs, drivetrax, I'll look into both [21:59] anything else i need? [21:59] also, when booting from hardy's CD, it gets to the first screen (after choosing install), the language select screen, but can't advance. Cursor moves but doesn't clic, keyboard navigation doesn't work as well. It's the same thing when booting into 8.04 after updating from 7.10, using the latest kernel version [21:59] needcdrom, when i got that message, i had broken packages. the error message should have given you a directory to some logs; look at the latter part of those logs and see what packages are causing the problem, and remove them manually [21:59] what do you mean with trolling? [21:59] adiabatic, very slow. i put another 256MB in and it was much better. [21:59] sarah_bear: what problem are you having with k3b then? [21:59] Anyone have an issue with 8.04's titlebars turning purple/rainbow every once in a while? They correct themselves if you click on the window [21:59] adiabatic, i wouldn't recommend it. [21:59] Can anyone help me with a weird window manager problem in Xubuntu Hardy? [21:59] wa hoo, look at it fly [21:59] <|jess|> drivetrax: I did choose to install the Ubuntu bootloader in the same partition as the installation because I didn't want ubuntu to change my grub setup [21:59] strtok: yes [21:59] adiabatic, even WinXP was faster [21:59] I'm trying to install some drivers, and getting the message that us.archives.ubuntu.com isn't resolving. Is that standard behavior? Will it be resolved soon? [21:59] didja all hear about the new Apple product? its just like the iPhone, except that they gave it an honest name... its called the iBroken [21:59] ceil420: thank you thank you! that's the kind of thing I needed to know [22:00] I found that using a certain ATI Video card.. the drivers were better with the Ubuntu OS.. I just do not have Catalyst.. and video tweaks [22:00] Daat do you have an existing 7.10 running? would you like to try and boot the downloaded 8.04 iso from hd? [22:00] amenado: of course he's not trolling, he wants to know where his windows partition is mounted within ubuntu [22:00] ptn107: any idea what causes it? [22:00] central control of downloads is a bad idea [22:00] ChrisVP server is overloaded [22:00] Anyone else here is bummed out about Hardy Heron? [22:00] <|jess|> drivetrax: But now, I can't reboot one of the old distros... :-( [22:00] strtok, 8.04 Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu?

[22:00] PhoenixP3K i would be if i could get it installed [22:00] dystopianray-> just checking.. [22:00] noodlesgc: alright, thanks [22:00] strtok, i blame Gnome <_< [22:00] amenado, i had 7.10, but updated to 8.04 yesterday :P that's when the problems started [22:00] strtok: i thought maybe my binary nvidia drivers. but even without them it still happens (even on my laptop) [22:00] Is there anyway to stop pulseaudio crashing when I log into gdm? [22:00] hmm dystopianray i can't play a mp3 using totem movie player [22:00] ceil420: it felt like a compiz feature [22:00] anyone wanna tell me why there are no sound drivers? [22:00] |jess|: -- dual booting two linux..then [22:00] says something about suitable codec? [22:00] DaaT can you reboot back to 7.10? [22:00] strtok, did you try disabling compiz? :o [22:00] hey ya'll.is the new ubuntu release stable?as in is it safe for one to upgrade now,who's tried it so far?

[22:01] noodlesgc, yeah it took all night to ugrade for me, and i'm a bit dissapointed [22:01] drivetrax: dunno if this is correct (got it from xorg.conf file) --> "ATI Technologies Inc M10 NT [FireGL Mobility T2]" [22:01] I can't get this thing to show anything more than 800x600 using the nvidia-glx-new drivers [22:01] ceil420: i love it too much to disable it [22:01] sarah_bear: is this a a new problem or the same you were describing earlier? [22:01] Hey everybody! Can anyone help me with a problem I got in the Hardy upgrade - my computer won't start.... [22:01] amenado, the only options at boot i have are 8.04 (with new and previous kernel) [22:01] xkcdr0ckz: You may need the Mesa driver [22:01] pharoh, it's been officially released, if that's what you mean. i wouldn't necessarily call ubuntu "stable" *cough* [22:01] !w32codecs [22:01] The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages [22:01] compiz wont even work with open source radeon driver now but it will with fglrx (oh the irony). [22:01] strtok, then live with it :p or figure out how to change it [22:01] how do i upgrade Ubuntu from Gutsy to Hardy throught a CD.... my bios does not boot my only working CD Drive so i need to do it from my already installed Gutsy [22:01] <|jess|> drivetrax: yes.

[22:02] ceil420: i don't like compiz for the glitz/glitter, it has functional features [22:02] Mulder: it will.. it works with the Mesa driver, and some restricted ATI drivers [22:02] n000b you can hit alt+f2 and then type in xkill and hit enter.... then the next thing you click on will die [22:02] n000b ctrl+alt+backspace [22:02] n000b, killall [22:02] ceil420: i know.have you tried it? [22:02] ceil420: window snapping, the "wall" feature, etc [22:02] drivetrax: where can i get the "Mesa" driver? [22:02] amenado, believe so. It's... 2.24 I think (trying to recall from memory) and new is 2.26, or something. You probably know it better than I do :) [22:02] how do i upgrade Ubuntu from Gutsy to Hardy throught a CD.... my bios does not boot my only working CD Drive so i need to do it from my already installed Gutsy ?? [22:02] n000b, xkill in a new terminal and then click on the offending program [22:02] meoblast001, are you the same as meoblast?

But i have to say, when i boot into 7.10, there are no taskbars (top and bottom). Happened after yesterday's update [22:06] Hi ! :) Yet another one of these hardy users without _any_ sound since upgrade. Google for vlc error outputs did not help; vlc-plugin-pulse _is_ installed. Any common hardy-sound FAQ / known issues page maybe ? [22:06] How can I remove the old version of the kernel??? [22:06] i guess im f*cked [22:06] Mulder, if all you need is to look at a basic calender, you can just type "cal" on the command line to see one [22:06] whats the name of a screenshot utility [22:06] for ubuntu [22:06] amenado, well the borders become translucent. before it was only the top, but now it's all around the windows border [22:06] DaaT-> oh well, you tried to upgrade during the busiest period, most likely it did not complete [22:06] romanotp: sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.list Backup this file before editing this one. [22:07] amenado, yay :) [22:07] DaaT: did you click on the panel for the virtual desktops.. top right. [22:07] arooni just push the "prt scr" button [22:07] PhoenixP3K-> i dont notice it, it may be really transparent that it is hard to see [22:07] maxtor mini III 100 gb http://paste.ubuntu.com/8002/ [22:07] romanotp: sudo apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove linux-image-$(uname -r) [22:07] ceil420, it's not that. i sometimes accidentally click on calendar since it's next to logout icon, and if do that then i need to use ctrl alt del or ctrl alt backspace to bring down the system [22:07] drivetrax, nope. It happens as soon as it shows the desktop, without any user action [22:07] amenado, do you have your desktop effects on normal or extra? [22:07] Mulder, i recommend taking the calender off your panel if it's crashing X >_> [22:08] does anybody have any idea why I see no progress when I am download package files for an update? [22:08] ptn107: are you aware that that will remove the currently running kernel?

[22:08] !RobinReborn: servers are getting hammered. Try another source [22:08] drivetrax, looks like it, yes [22:08] ceil420, yeah i might have to do that. guess i'll have to substitute with something like screenlets instead :S [22:08] romanotp: scratch that replace $(uname -r) with the one you want to remove [22:09] PhoenixP3K-> normal [22:09] Mulder, the CLI's "cal" is good enough for me :p [22:09] ptn107: probably best to just leave it there. the newest one is usually even the default... [22:09] how do i find shared folders? [22:09] amenado and drivetrax, thanks for the help. I'll keep trying to install from CD, though with it not accepting any user commands... *crosses fingers* [22:09] ptn107: thanx [22:09] DaaT: I know, when I click the panel with my 4 virtual tops.. all task/panel applet bars go away [22:09] Anyone know how to have samba auth against pam or kerberos instead of samba's built-in password db?

[22:11] xb3rt: I like k3b [22:11] any thoughts? [22:11] Steve^, but then that's me. I'd rather make full use of the processor and be ready for the future instead of going backward. [22:11] chubs730: thanks [22:11] nevstah: it could also be an incorrect driver for your networking card [22:11] i would also say go 64 steve [22:11] nevsta ... disturbing discovery, Hardy seem to lose settings in network-manager even if static ip addresses are set..one has to /etc/init.d/networking restart to get the route table activated [22:11] i have it [22:11] DaaT: ctrl+alt+tab [22:11] 32 is slow ass [22:11] does anyone know why the file http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts has not been updated for hardy? [22:11] drivetrax, thanks :) [22:11] jbur2/joshua__ if I can still use 32 apps, where do the problems lie? Drivers and plugins? [22:11] amenado, pastebin your ifconfig route and /etc/network/interfaces please [22:11] Hi. Since ubuntu 8.04 I can't access remote to my 8.04 pc. I have got the same settings as with 7.10 on the "server" and tried different client (vncviewer, viagre) [22:12] hello everyone [22:12] hwilde: that guide doesnt work [22:12] Is there anyway to get faster download speeds by setting max packets per requests, MTU, etc? [22:12] Still busy here I see :) [22:12] Theo_: Use Windows CD, repair console and do a fixmbr and fixboot [22:12] I've been trying to sort flash out for ages. If another music app is using the soundcard when firefox is started, I can't watch flash videos. They stop after 2 seconds and there's no sound, something I remember back from dapper. I've followed the wiki page on it (under !flash). I've install alsa-oss and set the firefoxrc. I've install libflash-mozplugin. It's all come to naught, and I'm at a loss as what to do next.... Also, once a flash video does [22:12] play (which requires absolutely no other app using the sound card when firefox is started AND when the video plays) I have to restart firefox afterwards to be able to use other sound-producing apps. Help! :) [22:12] you need to get 32 bit libraries for them [22:12] how can i force apt not to update a package? [22:12] i'm connecting to network and internet fine [22:12] DaaT: -- f1+ (search : panel ) select assistive tools [22:12] hwilde i have to kill you if I show you..hehehe.. [22:12] arcsky, sry that's all i've got - but it is official so it should work [22:12] you can usually find them, but they are more work to install [22:12] amenado, no share = no support :) [22:12] hwilde nothing special really, i just added it myself [22:12] chubs730: how do i check if i'm using right drivers? [22:12] hwilde no problem i dont need support.. :P [22:12] ubuntu only keeps 64bit libraries you have to manually enter 32bit [22:12] steve: i'm on 64bit and i run plenty of 32bit apps, it's pain free for the most part [22:12] thanks drivetrax [22:12] amenado, I bet it's your interfaces file tho [22:13] is there an scp equivalent flag to get ALL files, like cp -apR ? scp is missing the .bashrc and other hidden files [22:13] hwilde am just stating what i discovered.. thats all [22:13] theres no ndisgtk in hardy... and is ndiswrapper still screwed up in hardy? [22:13] amenado, i'm sure it's your interfaces file .... [22:13] !launchpad | amenado [22:13] hwilde my interface file is no different from what i have on my other 7.10 [22:13] amenado: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [22:13] hi all [22:13] amenado, oh ok - i don't know why mine looks strange. it's different from when I had Gusty on. I think i'll try re0installing compiz [22:13] chubs is right, they can be quite pain free or a big pain, depends what you're looking for [22:13] Hey, I'm kinda really stuck here after installing hardy, Can anyone help me here??? [22:13] hi, I'm getting this audio error when running a game called spring: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave [22:13] For some reason, my update manager (now it's apitutude) doesn't say I need to upgrade. What could be the problem? [22:13] open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy [22:13] Thanks! [22:13] chubs730, which areas aren't ok? Is development work fine? [22:13] !ask | GreenFuze [22:13] GreenFuze: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:13] what is the ubuntu server channel name? [22:13] !alsa | MRutter [22:13] MRutter: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:13] Does anyone else have the translucent border issue after upgrading? [22:13] Can i have two user with english for one and chinese for another user 'language'?\ [22:14] Bubble_tea, yes language is set by profile [22:14] Bubble_tea-> why not? different locales ? [22:14] lifesf: #ubuntu-server, but this channel also supports it [22:14] is there a bug on gnome keyboard tool (hardy) ?? [22:14] hwilde: scp -r is recursicve, but iof you're not getting .files transfered it's prolly coz of your * wildcard - try rsync -avz on the directory instead [22:14] nevstah: you'd have to check your /etc/network/interfaces [22:14] hello there. [22:14] hwilde: lol, must be a common problem to have a bot set up for that :P [22:14] how can i force apt not to update a package? [22:14] hello instantsoup [22:14] amenado, hwilde how would i do this? [22:14] MRutter, yep but that's good news too bc there is a common fix [22:14] does anyone know where they moved "Shared Folders" to? it was previously in System, Administration [22:15] steve: there are only a few applications that just don't run, the only thing i can think of is blender, but with work you can still install blender [22:15] sn is the symlinking program right? [22:15] daedra: ln -s [22:15] ok... well... i just need help because i have no idea why [sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop] does not work on fresh install of ubuntu server hardy [22:15] Bubble_tea, it's probably an option in System -> Admin -> Language Support [22:15] FINALLY!! ok usefull INFO!! anyone upgrading using do-release-upgrade you MUST use the "-m desktop" switch [22:15] amenado, hwilde I checked and install Chinese supported Langauges however . [22:15] Starnestommy: ahh ok [22:15] chubs730, that's no problem, I won't be using blender [22:15] hey is there somekind of force close option in ubuntu? my wine configuration window freezed [22:15] !ndiswrapper [22:15] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:15] noodlesgc: Why? [22:15] * test3r is getting nice, proper speed off the torrent right now. Hooray for the Desktop "LiveCD" for allowing me to test my hardware beFORE my *buntu dies! TY again guys for such a proper job. Can't wait to try the newest. [22:15] amenado, hwilde it only allow one default language for user.. [22:16] if anyone else is aware of problems (joshua?) for specific apps do speak up [22:16] plik, ok I didn't think to use rsync duhh [22:16] I have a UPS. Ubuntu displays the remaining charge correctly, but does not hibernate at the set critical point. I have checked the settings and they are OK. What could be the problem? This happens in Gutsy, Hardy as well. [22:16] steve i would definitly say go 64 if you are doing development work, i think you can handle installing a couple libraries [22:16] i have a weird problem with pidgin. When i try to add an icq account it tells me the screen name must start with a letter/must be an email. But it should be the icq number, right? And it shows the AIM symbol in the account manager [22:16] jbur2 because otherwise it will turn you into a server [22:16] Wirta-: hit alt+f2, enter "xkill", then click on the frozen window [22:16] chubs730: drivers arent shown in /etc/network/interfaces? just IP settings? [22:16] Bubble_tea, have you made the three user accounts? [22:16] jbur2 or just will not work [22:16] Bubble_tea-> i have to look around, since i dont use foreign chars.. look into SCMI perhaps [22:16] joshua__, I hope so! :) thanks [22:16] instantsoup: Try choosing the green flower again :) [22:16] hwilde i made 2 [22:16] Bubble_tea, log in as the other one and change the language to Chinese [22:16] i had some issue with epsxe but i got it working after about 20 minutes [22:16] Is there anyway to stop audiopulse crashing when I log into gdm? [22:16] hwilde: much easier - just take note of the trailing / on source dir [22:16] thanks Starnestommy [22:16] Bubble_tea-> maybe SCIM.. [22:17] anyone having scratchy sound problems? [22:17] brakkvatn nope not that simple [22:17] Does anyone successfully use Remote Desktop with Ubuntu 8.04? [22:17] instantsoup: What happens when you select it? [22:17] Who was it who asked about sharing folders? [22:17] this is madness but this is not sparta.. even european servers are slow as hell [22:17] hey, I tried upgrading to hardy, but the upgrade failed and when I try to login, I get a brown background. However, I am able to login via console. When I login with console, and try to do apt-get upgrade or apt-get -f install it says that dpkg-divert rename involves overwriting /sbin/depmod with different file, not allowed. [22:17] nickrober i had that trouble with builtin sound cards [22:18] errr [22:18] nickrober regardless of OS [22:18] bug reporting? [22:18] The stupid ubuntu servers need to speed up. I need to download some packages. [22:18] nevstah: you're right, sorry, i usually just compare the outputs of lsmod and lspci to make sure the correct drivers are in use [22:18] nonewmsgs: oh well some people here including myself were having a scratchy sound problem in 8.04 and i just found the fix [22:18] Can anybody help me with a weird window manager problem in Xubuntu Hardy? Xfce4-terminal is opening without window decorations. It has the right shape, but instead of the title bar, frame, close button, etc it is just solid black. I can click where the buttons should be and they work, but they're not visible. Window decorations on all my other apps (at least the ones I've used so far) have been fine. Compositing is off. I tried re-do [22:18] like i said, i add or modify the account, choose icq and add everything, then i save it and it shows the account in the account manager as ICQ but with the AIM symbol next to it [22:18] nickrober: sweet :) [22:18] Yesterday I tried to install Hardy, but I quit a little after I started downloading the packages. No actual installs took place. Now my update manager doesn't say I need to upgrade. I tried apt-get clean, aptitude clearn, apt-get autoclean, and aptitude autoclean, but I still get the same resutls. Why do you think this is? [22:18] hey anyone does hardy have a samba configuration gui? [22:18] and won't enable it [22:18] <_ditoa> im installing hardy on my brand new dell :D [22:19] <_ditoa> cant wait! [22:19] dubby: nautilus [22:19] nevstah: the actual location of them escapes me at the moment though [22:19] Oh hey, anybody know why Gnome Power Manager no longer offers battery brightness control? [22:19] _ditoa which model? [22:19] anyone using Gizmo? if so which version.. the .deb or the binary tarball? (Gutsy/Hardy) [22:19] anyone got any tips on how to get my maxtor mini 111 external hard drive working on ubuntu - http://paste.ubuntu.com/8002/ [22:19] hello world [22:19] <_ditoa> noodlesgc: i bought an inspiron 530N, it came with Ubuntu 7.10 [22:19] BTW whats the deal with Gnome using Mono-built (!?) stuff full-on?

[22:19] dubby: sudo apt-get install system-config-samba [22:19] <_ditoa> only got it this afternoon :) [22:19] instantsoup: Sorry, I can't help you. Try asking over at #pidgin , they're usually friendly. [22:20] alright, thanks [22:20] _ditoa cool, i bought my dell a while ago, an inspiron 1420n with 7.04 [22:20] good evening :) [22:20] <_ditoa> cool [22:20] <_ditoa> i am SO impressed with ubuntu [22:20] ppl, what's the file I edit to change grub's boot order? [22:20] noodlesgc: broadcom? [22:20] can't seem to remember that [22:20] <_ditoa> although the upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 killed it :( [22:20] Who utters that word?

Could not read from resource [22:20] br**dcom [22:20] hi there. is there any diff between installing Ubuntu from the LiveDVD or the LiveCD? i mean, i know the DVD has more software, but is that extra software installed by default? [22:20] how do i stop ubuntu from trying to connect for updates that it cannot connect to? [22:20] <_ditoa> there seems to be a bug as the hdd controller is set to IDE by default but i had to change it to RAID [22:21] boto: google says xgprof [22:21] Pilha: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:21] My update manager doesn't tell me I need to upgrade. Is anyone else having this problem? [22:21] noodlesgc: lucky [22:21] ok, menu.lst [22:21] <_boto> oh thanks a lot chubs730 [22:21] woot bcm wireless in Hardy! [22:21] <|DuReX|> daemon3: try: apt-get update [22:21] jbur2 yes it works quite well [22:21] ToM, thx [22:21] No problem :) [22:21] noodlesgc: switched back to my main account :) [22:22] !flash [22:22] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [22:22] chubs730: thanks [22:22] but otherwise ubuntu is superb [22:22] remember Hardy is not an update,, it is an Upgrade [22:22] daemon3 try sudo update-manager -d [22:22] I digress. Hardy is a clean install. [22:22] nuSharper: the DVD has ubutnu, kubuntu, xubuntu and related packages.. but not any more than what you would normally get if picking one of the versions and downloading the livecd [22:22] |DuReX|: I did about 90 times. I tried apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist upgrade, and combinations with aptitude. I even tried apt-get/aptitude clean/autoclean. [22:22] Is the kernel clocksource (tsc/hpet) problem solved in hardy? [22:23] daemon3: Are you talking about security/recommended updates or the upgrade to Hardy? It won't pop up a notification icon for the distro upgrade, you'll see that if you open update manager manually. At the top it should say that a new version is available and give you the option of upgrading. [22:23] I'm a newby and need some help. right now at the command line it keeps trying to update and cannot connect, how do i stop it? [22:23] drivetrax: I know. I make a mistake of using them interchangeably. [22:23] where is iced tea cache directory location? [22:23] cardstroker, ctrl+c [22:23] hi all... [22:23] noodlesgc: What would the -d command do? [22:23] b33r_, sudo updatedb; locate "iced tea" [22:23] ctrl-c, thank you. [22:23] hello [22:23] Scunizi: thx! [22:23] cardstroke, elaborate. [22:23] i think hardy heron is trying to kill my hard drive [22:23] I found on the Ubuntu Website about where/how to get 8.04.. But there are no documentations pages on their website [22:23] Anyone know in CompizConfig what the plugin is for the shadow color outside the window? For some reason mine is hot pink, it was not like that before patch =) [22:23] daemon3 check for a new dist [22:23] hi where is Grub by BT3 [22:23] external monitor resolution is still an issue, i see, mine is intel 855, [22:24] drivetrax, go to the ubuntu wiki [22:24] ruewan, explain?

If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation.

[22:24] Jeah: I'm talking about upgrading to hardy. I know it won't pop up a notification Icon. I go into "Update Manager" and, even though I have Gutsy, it says that my system is up-to-date. [22:24] my update manager's upgrade button is taking too long to bring up the update wizard and apt-get dist-upgrade isnt working, what do i do? [22:24] ruewan, type "top" then hit capital C that will show you the processes running sorted by cpu. [22:24] hwilde, it didn't show anything :/ [22:24] hey guys, why aren't there any themes after i've installed emerald? [22:24] <_manny> Anyone successfully compile Apache 1.3.41 on Ubuntu Server 7.10? [22:24] ruewan it could be you tracker deamon indexing your HD [22:24] !upgrade | daemon3 [22:24] daemon3: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:24] Anyone know in CompizConfig what the plugin is for the shadow color outside the window?

[22:25] > anyone got any tips on how to get my maxtor mini 111 external hard drive working on ubuntu - var msg log as follows http://paste.ubuntu.com/8002/ [22:25] hello everyone [22:25] Hey [22:25] daemon3, you have to follow the link from ubotu [22:25] !upgrade | daemon3 [22:25] daemon3: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [22:25] why question is before i would get the themes automatically now where have they gone? this is a new instlal [22:25] i have a partition that i can't quit get to load right [22:25] how can i run a shell skript at startup and wake up from hibernate that requires root...??? i need this to get my wlan up and running: sudo ifdown eth1 sudo ifup eth1 [22:25] Skipping versions is not advised and can cause a lot of damage to your installation. [22:25] daemon3, check the "Updates" tab in Software Sources system settings [22:25] another question, a given program that, when installed in Ubuntu, works out of the box without the need of extra configuration (due to codecs, let's say), would also work straight after the installation in Xubuntu? [22:25] i have public key access working from user_x@host1 to userx@host2, but using the same public key on user_y@host2 goes directly to password auth, The key is silently failing for user_y? [22:25] graingert: install padevchooser [22:25] ubotu2: I've followed those directions. [22:26] mistapapa, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file please [22:26] If you are using an earlier version, and want to 'skip' a version, the only safe way is to backup your data and do a fresh install, or to progressively upgrade to each successive version. [22:26] nuSharper it should. the only way to be completely sure is to try [22:26] lunartear, ssh -vvv it will show you verbose output [22:26] thanx guys for the help, see you soon [22:26] hwilde ok [22:26] hwilde: kk [22:26] chubs730: I know, it should. But it doesn't. [22:26] drivetrax i thought they made it possible to upgrade between LTS's [22:26] The LTS version is recommended for people in an environment (generally commercial/industrial) that want to keep the same version for a longer amount of time and do not require newer/faster/updated versions, but instead do not want things to change. [22:26] !lilo [22:26] lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [22:26] crimsun: already installed [22:27] why question is before i would get the themes automatically now where have they gone? this is a new instlal [22:27] how do I rollback to 7.10 [22:27] http://pastebin.com/d678f8b6c [22:27] ok [22:27] lunartear, you probably have to install the key in user_Y:~/.ssh/authorized_keys [22:27] To find your Ubuntu version: [22:27] lsb_release -a [22:27] thats my fstab [22:27] now what?

[22:27] hwilde, i did that [22:27] chubs730: Right. It doesn't do anything. [22:27] really because it stated on the ubuntu site you could uninstall [22:27] its ext3 and i've just had defaults on in the past to successful rw for all users [22:27] its just a storage partition [22:27] Can anybody help me with a weird window manager problem in Xubuntu Hardy? Xfce4-terminal is opening without window decorations. It has the right shape, but instead of the title bar, frame, close button, etc it is just solid black.

[22:28] crimsun: it it possible to stream over the internet? [22:28] hi, I had hardy heron beta installed, now I wanted to upgrade to stable via update-manager, but I get a message telling me that "Not all updates can be installed", any ideas? [22:28] hwilde: those troubleshooting guides don't seem to apply.

[22:35] hello [22:35] Hi, I installed Hardy Heron Beta a couple of weeks ago today I wanted to update my system, but I get "Not all updates can be installed", what's up with that? [22:35] GreenFuze: I seem to have managed to workaround it. I will let you know once it is done if it worked [22:35] hwilde, the same key works for userX@host2.com [22:35] hi [22:35] nucco, I had just plugged in a memory stick and the power cord when it went. [22:35] Should there be a bunch of updates waiting in the update manager after I install 8.04. I installed, went to check update manager and it said everything was up to date but I can't tell if that's the truth or if it's just that the servers are fubared. [22:35] Hi, after upgrading to hardy yesterday, some programs won't start or some action will faile (e.g. accessing sftp locations in nautilus) due to "ressources" being "temporarily not available", even when I start new shells it gives me "cannot fork: ressource temporarily unavailable" [22:35] lunartear, can you pastebin you terminal output? [22:35] hwilde: But i was able to do that in all the previous releases of ubuntu [22:35] im tryng to do a fresh install of 8.04 but when booting from my laptop get : initt: respawwning too fast, stopped [22:35] wats wronbg with it=? :S [22:35] MRutter, there is an #alsa channel [22:36] Steve^^: are you sure that it is ubuntu that died, and not your main board? [22:36] does anyone know how to get XFI sound to work in Hardy [22:36] hi ppl, can anyone give me some hints about an rt kernel? [22:36] what's happening here? It's not about RAM, is it? I have 3 GB + 3GB Swap [22:36] hwild: ok, I'll give that a shot [22:36] (namely 2.6.24-16-rt) [22:36] hi, somehow I seem to have borked my sound again.

[22:36] hwilde, of just userX@host1 to userY@host2?

[23:05] Darknezz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:05] I mean I upgraded to Hardy today (took all the way from 7:35 to 12:00) And im extremely used to using ubuntu (and SUSE Linux), and Hardy doesn't feel new.... [23:05] ill see wahts new on the website [23:05] brb [23:05] catmistake: as you get better with linux, you might find that you can have a separate partition for /home, then when you do a clean install, you don't have to lose all your data :) [23:05] hwilde, thats the command i issued but didnt see anything [23:05] i upgraded to heron and now my monitor(actually it is my tv) is Not supported.. i'm getting failed modules in nvidia_new and nvidia_legacy i have a pastebin of .xsession-errors and my xorg at :: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64427/ [23:05] \ [23:05] hwilde: ohwell its fixed.. thanks [23:05] XVampireX: I do run hardy on my laptop and my server has been upgraded as well but I'm waiting for the smoke to clear to upgrade this desktop. [23:06] Is there any way for me to change the compiz effects level from the command line? I screwed around too much and now I'm frozen out. [23:06] Has anyone had a problem in Hardy in which the shadows, scroll bars, and buttons don't look like they should? [23:06] is there any codes i can use that will let me watch protected Dvd's? [23:06] catmistake: and it doesn't take long to get things back *better* than they were before [23:06] nucco: ah... that's a great idea. I left some space on the partition to install Solaris on the same box, but never bothered... so I have to repartition anyway to recover that extra 30GB or so [23:06] Derspankster, Alright [23:06] tawt: i closed rhythmbox and then reloaded the page, and the video played with sound! do you think your problem might've occured because of a media player also? [23:06] catmistake: yeah, for me, I make 10G for "/" , 1G for swap, and the rest for "/home" [23:06] fbc: Heck, even dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does not work. It still creates a blank xorg.conf. [23:07] catmistake, you are as important as everyone else here :) and if u want to talk about something me and everyone else will be more than happy to help u out [23:07] corbett: -- go here! http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2008-04/msg00879.html [23:07] sound seems to be an issue (or the mixer) [23:07] nucco: one thing I've gotten used to is nxserver... and NoMachine is real slow in updating... so I'm ... well, asking now if anyone knows if nxserver works in hardy? [23:07] catmistake, just askaway :) [23:07] fbc: I can't use "Restricted Drivers Manager" if I don't have a GUI to use [23:07] Rolcol, I did,it was on the amd64 version ........... I fixed it by installing the 32 bit version [23:07] im on 8.04 and im wondering how i reinstall mysql-server completely so it asks me for a root pass again [23:07] doug2266778822: libdvdcss, which can be installed via sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh after libdvdread3 is installed [23:07] thanks B-rabbit [23:07] [23:07] tawt, but here's the weird thing: with the vid playing, i opened rhythmbox, and now THAT won't play songs while the video is playing... [23:07] amenado: when i want to install or download (apt -get instal) it says unable to resolve host (home) [23:07] carpark, no. i have no media player yet (clean installed about an hour ago) I think it's the plugin. how do i download other plugings? [23:07] drivetrax: thats me [23:07] carpark, ... [23:07] it might not be what you want to do, I admit [23:07] nxserver on hardy? anyone? [23:07] Lifeisfunny, well, I have the 32 bit installed.... I guess Ill have to do a reinstall [23:07] jburd, keeep on reading the guid [23:08] my mouse scroll works! [23:08] catmistake: never heard of nxserver and nomachine though... I won't expect them to break, especially if they're in in ubuntu's repositories [23:08] wooohoo! [23:08] Is there a command to reconfigure a program to its default settings? [23:08] carpark, interesting. i have too little experience to deal with this [23:08] corinth: maybe dpkg-reconfigure [23:08] I get a No Bootable Device error on boot to my third parttion on my intel mac I am able to boot to it and have installed GRUB to the / parttion with /home folowing ????? [23:08] no idea if that does it though [23:08] Darknezz-> hard to assist you if you are hiding your ip address, hard to tell what the error is really telling you [23:08] I've never gotten this error from GRUB [23:08] nucco: I don't think their in the repositories... I'm pretty sure I dled binaries from NoMachine [23:08] anyone gotten emerald repositories to work? [23:08] jburd, you'll get to a section that tells you if you get a blank screen press CTRL-ALT-F1 adn login and alter your xorg.conf with special parameters so that you can get a picture... [23:08] corinth: completely remove the package, and then reinstall it. [23:08] tawt: plugins for firefox? click 'tools'>'add-ons'>'get add-ons' :) [23:08] hey did they finally fix the libata or whatever the problem was that caused slow dvd burning on non sata (plextor?) drives [23:09] in 8.04 [23:09] Starnestommy: when i type that i get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64433/ [23:09] drivetrax: shall i paste dmesg ouput with the ehd plugged? [23:09] hey everyone [23:09] catmistake: in that case, its only a matter of time before they provide binaries for hardy. you might wish to wait for them, or upgrade and wait for them [23:09] carpark, which video plugin do you have? [23:09] corbett: -- then go here.. check again -- the command that tells if the disk is formatted! - http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2008-04/msg00881.html [23:09] jburd, something about changing "NV" to "NVIDIA" and a couple other parameters to get your video to come up [23:09] amenado: you need my ip?

[23:34] cronix, then initrd /boot/ [23:34] Crshman, and I just did it [23:34] Darknezz-> cool [23:34] cronix, then boot [23:34] josh04: well an example is youtube videos and rhythmbox [23:34] Veinor, by doing it using update-manger -d [23:34] I know it's safer to have one. [23:34] Darknezz-> thats hardy? [23:34] DaveG|: boot to it [23:34] szenti, if you want to. it's a personal preference [23:34] And it's easier to backup. [23:34] milly1234 they need to take ubuntu 7 wifi support and put it in 8 [23:34] KooperKool, i don't want to burn a cd :P [23:34] kenan: try installing libflashsupport with synaptic [23:34] cronix, in kernel and initrd when you tab you need to look for the revelant files, eg vmlinuz [23:34] hwilde: why won't you recommend it off-hand? [23:34] hwilde, ty, gonna test it [23:34] daveg| download the alternate cd ISO and mount it loopback [23:34] cronix, andb initrd, from the tab completion [23:34] amenado: ya. just instaled it yesterday and never used linux besides at school (basics) [23:35] DaveG|: What Version Of Ubuntu do you have? [23:35] hwilde: I mean the separate /home partition [23:35] cronix, do you understand? [23:35] KooperKool, 7.10 [23:35] You'll still have to download a huge file but you won't need to make a CD [23:35] hello. I have a problem with Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5 on Hardy Heron. I installed the wrong plugin to watch videos on youtube but now I'm unable to remove it. [23:35] no, root (hd0,2) does not return any errors, but nothing happens either :> [23:35] DaveG|: go to System--Administration--Update Manager [23:35] So anyone have ideas on why my sound is horribly distorted after the upgrade? I've got an Nvidia MCP51 HDA [23:35] nucco, if you want to deal with that fine, it's not really much difference [23:36] i upgraded to hardy via alternative cd and i had a bunch of errors on some components not being able to install.then i ran "sudo apt-get -f install" after reboot and now things work alright,but the grub boot menu is showing me 2 different ubuntu options.both are 8.04 but one is with the previous kernel and the first one is the current kernel. [23:36] nucco, might be easier to switch to aq different repo later on [23:36] DBautell, when i try to use the dvd as a source it gives me the error: "E: Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc" [23:36] Darknezz-> well make a note of that, i noticed it earlier and didnt think much of it, that line in /etc/hosts has to be corrected..i tried to set that via n-m and know it does not work [23:36] what is that with initrd? it sais that the kernel must be loaded before [23:36] I dont think HDA is good on Hardy [23:36] hey guys when i try to update vmware on hardy on my desktop i get " make: *** [vmmon.ko] Error 2 " does anyone know a solution? [23:36] Tristam: Just an offhand guess, but try going to the mixer and turning PCM down, then up again [23:36] southafrikanse: check your ~/.firefox folder or wherever firefox hides its settings, you might find something deletable there [23:36] KooperKool, yeah, and then? [23:36] EruditeHermit: Here is the solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=742382 [23:36] Hmm, this new release [8.04] of Ubuntu is more complete than the previous one. I'm glad I can use it. :) [23:36] Click the Check Button [23:36] cronix-> what are you trying to do? [23:36] hwilde: yeah, makes it easy to do clean installs without losing data [23:36] FF3 doesn't allow Delicious bookmarks? [23:37] i had trouble with vmware on a hardy beta before because the vmware modules would not build on the new kernel [23:37] DaveG|: Click the check button [23:37] livingdaylight, install firefox-2 ... [23:37] unop: it claims I'm a spammer :) can I send the install file to you instaed? [23:37] KooperKool, ok [23:37] got that fixed mythic [23:37] nucco, if I unnistal and install mozilla again will that help? [23:37] nucco, or you could just copy youre /home directory it's really not that hard [23:37] roffe__, use the !pastebin [23:37] Crshman, it worked for me by running 'gksudo /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade' from a terminal [23:37] !pastebin > roffe__ [23:37] i want to boot up ubuntu, but grub shows up an error21 (cant find disks or sth). but i know that ubuntu is on hd0,2 .. [23:37] awesome [23:37] nuit!! [23:37] DaveG|: when its done, at the top it should say "A New OS is avaible" Or somthing like that [23:37] szenti, i might have to... Hardy came with FF3 so i been using that, but i'm not sure it is better than FF2. What is the differnce? [23:37] unop: yeah, but it says I'm a spammer for doing it three times now :/ [23:38] KooperKool, it says it already actually xD [23:38] southafrikanse: I doubt that, but look in that folder, and if you see something named similar to the offending plugin, remove it. [23:38] amenado: i have one more question when i do install xmms2 it seems to work (in terminal) then when i go to applications i cant find it. when i run it again it says no updated available making it sound like its installed. i also run it (xmms2) and all i get is a list of commands (stop, play, shuffle ect.) [23:38] . [23:38] hi guys, how can I connect to a proxy server. I have the domain, user and passwd [23:38] hi [23:38] KooperKool, but it doesn't attempt to get it from the CD i don't think [23:38] i downgraded to firefox-2 and now i can't open it. [23:38] How do I check if a deamon (/etc/init.d/ssh) is already runing???? [23:38] roffe__, pastebin.com then [23:38] how do i get ubuntu to work better with my graphics card [23:38] hwilde: copying a 100G /home partition isn't something I like to do over and over :) [23:38] livingdaylight, I've been using FF3 beta5 since a week and I've found out that some extensions are not yet upgraded to support it. [23:38] Tux2008: ps -a|grep ssh [23:38] it says firefox is already running, but i just rebooted [23:38] DaveG|: The 8.04 installation files aren't on a CD unless you downloaded the cd ISO [23:38] amenado: i dont know if im doing somthing wrong or its a bug with xmms2 or ubuntu [23:38] DBautell, i just tried that and it says "Failed to add the CD", the error message was: "E: Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc" [23:38] josh04, I don't know why, but that seemed to work [23:38] What's up dawgs! [23:39] Darknezz-> did the install completed? [23:39] josh04 : thanks a lot!!! [23:39] For example Firebug... [23:39] Tristam: ps aux | grep ssh === zelle is now known as kolay [23:39] how do i get ubuntu to work better with my graphics card [23:39] ya [23:39] er, whoops. [23:39] i think that it is just a wrong link in the grub config, cause i had ubuntu installed before. but when i use root (hd0,2) ... nothing happens, i need one more command like "boot this shit :)" [23:39] amenado: ya [23:39] Tristam: No idea either, but it worked for me too :P [23:39] Tux2008 np [23:39] szenti, yes, that's no good. Delicious is like essential to me [23:39] josh04, Thanks much [23:39] hi, I am having a problem with my rt2500pci wireless linksys card in Ubuntu Hardy being insanely slow nomatter what and it is performing basically how this describes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/190515 but I don't exactly understand how to go about resolving this issue [23:39] KooperKool, i have the ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso mounted so [23:39] unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64438/ [23:39] I'm using two Firefox versions parallel on my windows machine. [23:39] how do i get ubuntu to work better with a graphics card [23:39] Darknezz-> i dont know xmms, you have to dig around where it resides..dont know if you need to log of and log back on [23:39] hwilde, Okay, I just called them and they have the same /etc/nework/interfaces file as I do, it says "auto eth0" and "#iface eth0 inet dhcp" [23:39] DaveG|: oh! Why didn't you say so. Just burn it to A CD, then boot to it. [23:39] I think it can be managed to work on Ubuntu as well. [23:39] hwilde, Any ideas? [23:40] hello everybody. my question is: how can i decide which driver is loaded afer a usb connet ? ( i have the drivers pwc and gspca ( both for webcam). pwc would be the better one for mine. the module is loaded ( sudo modprobe pwc ) the other driver is unloaded ( sudo rmmod gspca). BUT when i plugin the cam i allways get: [23:40] how do i get ubuntu to work better with a graphics card [23:40] has anyone found a workaround for the segfaulting gnome-keyring-daemon? [23:40] fxfitz-> what is the problem?

I used the DVD image... You are using alternate? and, is your system otherwise up to date? [23:40] amenado: i have restarted and logged off and on, and still nothing [23:40] Hi, anyone use Cheese? Need to know of anyway to increase contrast or brightness [23:40] fxfitz, that line should not start with a pound symbol - it's commented out [23:40] amenado, My parents just lost all their internet at their house. When they do /etc/init.d/network restart, it says "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" [23:40] Just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, and my other Hard Drives (one in ext3, and one in NTFS Windows xp) are no more auto detected after startup. how can i turn this back on ? [23:40] Im not using ssh, but I see it running, (as a process) , should I turn it off???? [23:40] how do i get ubuntu to work with my graphics card. period. [23:41] n000b: what's your card [23:41] DaveG|: Then you have to update from the update manager or go out and buy some CD-Rs. [23:41] roffe__, ok, try this. sudo aptitude install xsltproc; ./configure # and then pastebin the output of configure again [23:41] nvidia [23:41] fxfitz, tell them to type "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" "sudo dhclient eth0" [23:41] Whats a good cd burner? [23:41] n000b: you mean you can't see anything? or what exactly is the problem? giving you errors? [23:41] Darknezz-> i dont know much about xmms..cant get you anymore help [23:41] DBautell, I am using a DVD, i tried to mount the image aswell and it didn't work....the system is up to date [23:41] corbett: -- the only other thing I saw was where a person tried to use USP IPod.. [23:41] The built in one [23:41] the screen is just a little blurry [23:41] i upgraded to hardy via alternative cd and i had a bunch of errors on some components not being able to install.then i ran "sudo apt-get -f install" after reboot and now things work alright,but the grub boot menu is showing me 2 different ubuntu options.both are 8.04 but one is with the previous kernel and the first one is the current kernel.

[23:42] corbett: -- if the volume name cannot be re-labled, then to format that drive ext3.. might be all can do. But talk to Maxtor First.. directly thru their support [23:42] amenado, Hehe hell no.

The problem: all entries in the ubuntu grub gives this error message: Error 15: File not found [23:46] can anyone tell me what the disadvantages are to xubuntu? [23:46] I'm sure that in feisty I could got access automaticly to my ntfs partitions.. [23:46] <|jess|> Any ideas what I have done wrong? [23:46] darkcrab: install libflashsupport [23:46] B166erx I remember that the directory that the drive gets mounted to must already exist ... maybe that's the issue ... does /dev/hda1/ directory exist? [23:46] Anyone know why my framerate for playing movies is so low in the default ubuntu media player [23:46] now I'm using the hardy version... & I have my external 500GB (2 partitions) NTFS [23:46] thank you josh [23:46] how can I mount them to the system?

[23:46] moi [23:46] darkcrab: thank me when it works :P [23:47] anyone know of a good wireless card that works at full speed out of the box with hardy? [23:47] YONI i just had the same problem [23:47] wireless pci card [23:47] lol [23:47] can anyone tell me what the disadvantages are to xubuntu? [23:47] seamus7: you could mount the iso to any folder in your /home [23:47] n000b: it's a matter of choice or preference [23:47] just so you know other flash works, its just you tube [23:47] Fogel1497: I hapy to know that you had :) How can I solve it as well? [23:47] nucco: but whats the difference? [23:47] nucco: I'm only referring to the message B166erx included ... looks like the drive was attempting to mount in that particular directory ...

Visit this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [23:48] hwilde, didnt work [23:48] n000b: Xubuntu using XFCE desktop instead of Gnome, it's more lightweight. It more of a desktop preference [23:48] anyone knows in which file the settings of the login screen are? [23:48] YONI I PM'd you. Visit this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [23:48] doing it now. [23:48] n000b: But imo not as nice, but as darkcrab said matter of preference.

[23:48] please, I know someone here might be using a good wireless card with ubuntu 8.04, one that works well, at full speed, no problems, that sort of stuff, I am trying to find one that will work unlike the one I have, which worked in 7.10 but now is terrible in 8.04 [23:48] moveax: you find any thing yet?

[23:49] How can I make more than 4 partitions on a disk? [23:49] seamus7 ok , getting weirder now : the HD are accesible from the 'Workstation' (I use ubuntu in french, so traducing ) its there and called 'Media 40.1 gig' (so is my other 'Media 320 gig' ) wich both used to be called respectively, Windows' and 'Barracuda' and showed on the desktop. [23:49] steve^ make them inside a logical partition, then you can have up to 64 [23:49] is there a place on this server to go for assistance with a simple legal statement? [23:49] J-a-k-e: What's wrong with your sound quality? [23:49] brb [23:49] nucco, I make a logical one and it just takes up all the space, do I need to make it of a certain type? [23:50] help, i got a major problem! after trying to upgrade, it failed, told me my system may be in an "unusable state", and now after rebooting, gnome won't start (i just see a tan wallpaper and nothing else) [23:50] has anyone downgraded to firefox 2 in hardy? [23:50] zeeeee, ctrl+alt+f1 go to terminal [23:50] *it = the update process [23:50] Steve^ you make a logical one, then make the others inside of the logical one [23:50] hwilde, i'm there [23:50] hwilde, i ran: [23:50] zeeeee: Did you use Wubi? [23:50] dpkg --configure -a [23:50] zeeeee, just run "apt-get upgrade" [23:50] Steve^ think of the logical one as just a container. don't need a type [23:50] KooperKool, perhaps not, what is it? [23:51] doug2266778822: I've asked a local mailing group of mine who I met up with yesterday. During the meeting they suggested Ubuntu as it, "justs works." So, I'm putting their expert (most of them are Dr's of IT) to the test. [23:51] hwilde, that tells me to run dpkg --configure -a [23:51] !Wubi | zeeeee [23:51] zeeeee: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [23:51] KooperKool, no i'm upgrading from 7.10 [23:51] zeeeee, ok what does that tell you [23:51] nucco, I'm doing this from inside the installer, I don't see how to make a logical without a type, nor how to add to a logical partition [23:51] hwilde, i'll paste.. [23:51] zeeeee, pastebin! [23:51] unop: If you've given up, I can more than well understand it :) [23:51] !pastebin | zeeeee [23:51] zeeeee: 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) [23:51] seamus7 , and in the 'File system' in /media there is 2 folder called 'Disk' and Disk-1 , which contains my Hard drives files [23:51] nucco, perhaps I make all my partions as "logical" and it'll figure it out itself? [23:51] 'weirder' [23:51] zeeeee: It crashed my Ubuntu and my Windows. I bascially had to wipe my harsd drive [23:51] Steve^ please explain what you're trying to accomplish [23:52] roffe__, not given up, just reading up on this .. well, from http://kin.klever.net/napkin/requirements i assume you need to do this. sudo aptitude install libgtkmm-dev libsqlite3-dev autotools-dev autoconf automake libtool === aib is now known as _aib [23:52] KooperKool, i'm sorry to hear that! [23:52] any one using flumotion successfully with hardy? [23:52] Steve^: if You see a partition, hit enter.. on it, and then tell it what to partition, and keep doing that until you get the /swap and all of them partitioned [23:52] nucco, I have 80 gigs. I want 2 gig swap, 30 gig for / and 50 for /home, but I only have 2 partitions left. you're right that I need a logical partition, but I don't see how I get this tool to do it [23:52] pagoda: It is in there already [23:52] hwilde, Alright, well, the dhclient gave them six different "dhcpdiscover eth0 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval" and at the end it said "no dhcpoffers received" [23:52] KooperKool, i have 2 machines, both ubuntu 7.10, both had problems upgrading to 8.04 (and they were different problems) [23:53] fxfitz, lan cable is unplugged, dsl modem needs rebooted, etc etc [23:53] what video editors are there for hardy, that support ogg file format [23:53] Steve^: -- hover over the logical drive name you see, and hit enter [23:53] drivetrax, since you mention swap, is 2 gigs enough? [23:53] ripps: ubuntu 7.10, it's working alright the prob is it only just sounds "ok" to me. I'm quite picky with my sound, music sound as if the mids are exagerated and treble is flat cymbals and such sound as if they're in the background [23:53] can someone please tell me which kernel-version is the newest for hardy? [23:53] steve, delete "/" and "/home" then create a logical partition big enough to hold them both [23:53] once i install xubuntu can i revert back to ubuntu? [23:53] seamus7 , also ( ;) ) , the Mount app ofthe task bar, lists 2 times, bothe my drives, on time as '300gig' mounted, and on time as 'Barracuda' 'not mounted' (same for the windows one) [23:53] Steve^: make the swap first though [23:53] Could anyone tell me why I can't download packages -.- [23:53] nucco: -- yes.. right [23:53] Steve^ delete "/" and "/home" then create a logical partition big enough to hold them both [23:53] B166erx ... have you looked in gconf editor ... I think it's listed in apps/nautilus/desktop ... make sure 'volumes visible' is checked [23:53] adinc, 2.6.24-16 [23:53] hwilde, Okay, and you're sure that would be it? Because the modem is really hard to get to and I don't want them going into the attic if they don't have to (I already had them check the ethernet cable in the back of the computer) [23:54] ok [23:54] Sindacious: the server is very slow - give it time [23:54] unop: I think I had checked that they were installed from the beginning, but I'll run your command now [23:54] Sindacious: we just released 8.04 yesterday [23:54] moveax: ah cool, i just uninstalled and reinstalled still getting same thing. [23:54] fxfitz, are there more than one network cards? like eth1 ? [23:54] once u install xubuntu can u revert back to ubuntu? [23:54] hwilde, Nope [23:54] fxfitz, dhclient eth0 should get a dhcp address from whatever it's plugged into [23:54] nucco: -- I don't think the thing is too easy to see, but I hit enter on the logical disk name, and it started needing partitions [23:54] J-a-k-e: Have checked in the Volume Control preferences for a Tone option. I had to enable Tone in my SBLive! 5.1 to mess with my Bass and Treble. Just turning Tone on improved sound quality. [23:54] jaffarkelshac: can users expect newer kernel versions for hardy and will it be installed when saying dist-upgrade [23:54] nucco, drivetrax, I make my 80 gig parition, Logical (it forces me to select a type, so I select ext3), hitting enter on it just gives the "Edit parition" box. Do I need to do this outside of the installer in gparted? [23:54] seamus7, Volume Visible was checked [23:54] B166erx just do ALT +F2 and type gconf ... then it's apps/nautilus/desktop [23:54] roffe__, if thats the case, try this instead. sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgtkmm-dev libsqlite3-dev autotools-dev autoconf automake libtool [23:54] hwilde, Alright, well it sounds good. Thanks a lot1 [23:54] fxfitz, have them do "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" "sudo dhclient eth0" [23:54] B166erx oh nevermind [23:54] doug2266778822: I have this irssi session screened on a remote server, so if you like, keep checking back with me and I@ll let you know how I got on. Already got one reply, but it doesn't help. [23:55] hwilde, Okay will do [23:55] what happens if I Remove ubuntu-desktop? [23:55] adinc, usually gets installed by update manager [23:55] having trouble playing .mkv files they are running pretty choppy [23:55] moveax: how i join the irrsi? [23:55] do you already have some windows partitions? [23:55] using nvidia proprietary drivers [23:55] Hi, I notice the icon effect while pushing the icons on the upper panel of ubuntu hardy, can I enable that effect on the menu items? [23:55] hwilde, http://rafb.net/p/agfzmf24.html [23:55] Steve^ do you already have some windows partitions? [23:55] 8800 GT [23:55] once u install xubuntu can u revert back to ubuntu? [23:55] Steve^, just use guided partitioning man! [23:55] final version of hardy has been released, are the updates going to be less frequent now [23:55] nucco, yup, a fat16 and a ntfs [23:55] has there been an update since yesaterday? [23:55] Steve^: -- I believe it is saying.. do you want to make this an ext3 partition, and to do that you Edit the partition, and Make it a Partition of that type [23:55] doug2266778822: haha, you don't, it's an irc client. [23:56] doug2266778822: btw, the gstreamer driver, i've just noticed, doesn't include dvd playback of encrypted dvds [23:56] Steve^, those also count as part of the 4 maximum you can have. [23:56] brb === liberfiasco is now known as libervisco === jani__ is now known as _Jani_ [23:56] nucco, yea, I know [23:56] those are the errors i'm getting [23:56] Cpudan80, obviously. I just updated to it, and I'm getting lag from nowhere, and I cannot install anything through the Add/Remove [23:56] Steve^, so, you gotta delete all the linux partitions you have, and make them all inside a logical partition [23:56] dpkg basically crashes with a failed assertion after a bunch of failed attempts to configure packages [23:56] zeeeee, sudo apt-get install x11-xfs-utils [23:57] anyone? === wwalker is now known as wwalker_away [23:57] Steve^ delete them all including the swap, then make a new logical partition with all the space, see what it gives you [23:57] nucco, yea, but the tool won't let me make logical partitions. I'm going to try and make all swap, / and /home as "logical" and see if that works [23:57] firefox is causing my screen to lock up [23:57] B166erx when I plug media cards in they get mounted twice ... so I don't know what's happening there [23:57] Steve^ you gotta delete the existing ones first, just leaving the two windows partitions you dont want to touch [23:57] moveax: ah ok [23:58] hwilde, that just tells me to run dpkg --configure -a [23:58] Steve^ the logical partition also counts as part of the 4 maximum :) [23:58] Got a problem with intel pro wireless 3945 abg network adapter [23:58] not seeing any networks [23:58] nucco, I have the 80 gigs of free space. I select logical and it appears to just make it as a normal parition. There is nothing in the table to indicate it is logical [23:58] suspected driver bug [23:58] zeeeee, sorry that's way over my head. you need to install those things that says "Package x11-xfs-utils is not installed" bcause the other things depend on it [23:58] Seamus7 i think i'm trying to 'get it' ..Ubuntu, while trying to make it simple, just keep Frakkin up everything for old timers like me. Instead of having to go in Fstab, create a folder in /media, ect... Hardy auto mount and detect the drives...and simply name them 'Media **gig' , But since i upgraded, i still have the Fstab lines and all, maybe thats it.. [23:58] i'm helping a guy out, his wireless isn't working, but there's no sensical reason for that [23:58] Steve^ when you make logical, that gives you 3 partitions including the windows ones right? [23:59] Hi, I just updated to Hardy and for some reason the sound is REALLY quiet. [23:59] unop: I did both the commands you gave me now, and still an error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64444/ [23:59] If I raise the volume to the highest it can go, it's a normal level [23:59] hwilde, yeah, i read the messages too, but the upgrade process was completely hosed [23:59] My speakers are as high as they can go also [23:59] ethana2: explain the problem please, better chances of getting help that way [23:59] http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/222096 is what happened [23:59] nucco, yea, its working like I thought. You don't make a logical partition. You make them all with the "logical" option, it assigned them to sda5,6,7 and it'll make the logical bit for you [23:59] What happens if I remove ubuntu-desktop? [23:59] what's that acpi script in hardy where you can enable/disable laptop-mode? [23:59] KooperKool, what do you think man? it uninstalls the desktop [23:59] nucco, its trying to be user friendly and therefore confusing people who know what they want [23:59] KooperKool: nothing, it's a meta-package
