[00:00] taquitos: You need to extract it [00:00] I really hope so Wyzard but I must say that I've tried that already yet it didn't work :) [00:00] it's extracted. [00:00] but maybe the apt-get update was needed first? [00:00] hey everyone, i have a couple of questions : if I install ubuntu from scratch, considering I have a /home partition, I will have to reinstall all my software right? [00:00] but I am rather sure that I did that same process through synaptic [00:00] i see vmware-install.pl with a little lock in the icon === Joeb454 is now known as not_bodhi [00:00] when i trigger suspend in ubuntu, I want it to run "metacity --replace" before it starts suspending and "compiz --replace" after it resumes. can someone help me with this? I tried editing "/usr/sbin/pm-suspend" with "metacity --replace &" in the first line in order to accomlish the first half of this, but it does not seem to be working. any ideas? [00:00] I installed Samba, I go to network, and it sees the windows computer, but when I open it I don't see any shared folders [00:01] I was told to add a line to /etc/modprobe.conf.local, and can't find that file can someone help me? [00:01] i couble clicked it, hit run and "nothing happened" [00:01] Zacaa: I'd expect that installing nvidia-glx through synaptic *should* work too, but the Hardware Drivers window is the "official" way to do it [00:01] taquitos: that is a script to install the software, you might want to read the instructions [00:01] 3ware raid controller seems slow on hardy 2.6.24-16-server [00:01] hey everyone, i have a couple of questions : if I install ubuntu from scratch, considering I have a /home partition, I will have to reinstall all my software right? [00:01] Zacaa: and you may actually need nvidia-glx-new rather than plain nvidia-glx [00:01] LainIwakura: strange, after restart of gnome seems it works now, anyway, thanks :) [00:01] psycardis, I don'T have that on my hdd either === not_bodhi is now known as bodhi-zazen [00:01] taquitos: there is a readme [00:01] algyz: np [00:01] what is the general concensus on upgrade/install? [00:01] Zacaa: to go with the "nvidia-new" kernel module that you saw mentioned earlier... I'm not sure what the difference is though === bodhi-zazen is now known as Joeb454 [00:01] Yes Wyzard, I have actually tried them both [00:01] pelo: there has to be an equivilant... [00:02] ok nothing much changed [00:02] I remember upgrading to 7.04 and failing miserably..... [00:02] psycardis, what are you trying to acheive ? [00:02] pelo: working on my webcam [00:02] Valtor: its a general yes [00:02] Valtor: with some no [00:02] psycardis: where is the readme, don't see it [00:02] lol [00:02] psycardis, what's the line ? [00:03] howapt: i mean, should I install or upgrade? :P [00:03] Pelo: I had it working last night, but somehow after rebooting it doesn't work [00:03] has anyone connected their xbox to their machine via ethernet to share their wireless connection to the internet? [00:03] Pelo: I can only change the resolution through the GUI and it doesnt offer the rez I want [00:03] pelo: install uvcvideo /sbin/modprobe snd_usb_audio; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install uvcvideo [00:03] but thanks for your help, Wyzard, when I have access to download from the internet again I will be sure to come see if you are here [00:03] <__knight> hello [00:03] psycardis, adding it to /etc/local.rc maybe ? [00:03] Valtor: try upgrade, you can always reinstall if it fails. upgrading worked fine for me :-) [00:03] zelrikriando, is the resoluton you want listed in xorg.conf ? [00:03] Valtor: for me also [00:03] <__knight> i've got a problem with ati gfx card in ubuntu 8.04, cant configure anything, the screen is lagging like hell and im clulesss [00:04] thats what I thought, just wanted to make sure :) thx everyone!

[00:05] sper.... [00:05] m [00:05] forza: #azureus [00:05] psycardis, my mistake /etc/rc.local it is used to list scripts you want to run on startup [00:06] howapt, warning #1 , [00:06] howapt, you get one [00:06] melee do you have files shared on windows already? [00:06] Pelo: Microsoft have the main market share? [00:06] I am now running Ratpoison. [00:07] Any tips on how to get started? ^_^ [00:07] hai all [00:08] psycardis, toward the end, I use it to start fancontrol, add the path and file you need at the end of the file assuming this line is to start a process or perform an action , in my case /etc/init.d/fancontrol [00:08] is there any way to copy a certain number of bytes from a certain offset in a file besides dd? [00:08] Pelo: what if I do a complete reconfigure? [00:09] Is there a better tool than dd to use if I want to copy x bytes from x offset from one file to another? Getting the offset right requires bs=1, which results in a ridiculously slow copy. [00:09] zelrikriando, no idea, but I have a thought , pastbein your new current so I can direct you properly [00:09] cdm10, ur stealing my question [00:09] Pelo: ok [00:09] zelrikriando, what do you mean by complete reconfigure ? clean install ? [00:09] getisboy: damn, I didn't actually expect you to ask, I was going to do it for you [00:09] Pelo...hm no :) [00:10] zelrikriando, deleting the xorg.conf file and performing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg might work [00:10] hai all, just got 8.04, none of the flash objects in firefox make any sound, with any of the 3 plugins and it still doesnt work with firefox 2 [00:10] Pelo : http://pastebin.com/m45962775 [00:10] I love Ubuntu [00:10] does anyone know why parallels hates ubuntu? [00:10] hi all [00:10] psycardis, you still haveniT' told me what the line you want to add is ? what werer you tring to put in the other file ? [00:11] I am hesitant in installing hardy... any way to install firefox2? I need google browser sync [00:11] zelrikriando, hold on [00:11] aLeSD: you [00:11] Hey people. [00:11] lekremyelsew: try installing libflashsupport ( sudo aptitude install libflashsupport ) [00:11] I'm an idiot, what's the codename for 8.04? [00:11] lekremyelsew: that'll redirect Flash sound through PulseAudio... which might result in a slight delay, but it's better than nothing. [00:11] where I can find the memorized passwd of the wifi in ubuntu ? I don't remember more the passwd but the SO connects correctly [00:11] SilverReadman: Hardy Heron [00:11] osama: just install the firefox2 package :-) [00:11] osama: try using weave to sync ff3 [00:11] aLeSD: are you on Hardy or Gutsy? [00:11] !hardy | SilverReadman [00:11] SilverReadman: 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 [00:11] Thanks cdm10~ [00:11] cdm10: 8.04 [00:11] psycardis, put that line in exactly like that [00:12] So what can ubuntu do that windows can't [00:12] aLeSD: right click on the network applet and go to Edit Wireless Networks [00:12] psycardis, you also have the option to create the file yo were told to put it in , that might work to [00:12] So grub doesn't handle EFI by itself yet I take it? Still need rEFIt to put Ubuntu on a Mac Mini? [00:12] jesusfreak940: lots of things [00:12] psycardis, I'm only guessing but yes [00:12] Jesusfreak run a complete operating system on a 700 MB CD?? :P [00:12] jesusfreak940: be downloaded for free without violating copyright laws, for starters :-) [00:12] aLeSD: that should work, but if not, you can view saved passwords in Applications>Accessories>Passwords and Encryption Keys [00:12] Ubuntu has a much more visually appealing enviroment~ [00:13] anyone know from practice how much of the swap space is needed to hibernate system with 4GB ram? [00:13] how can u get flash to work in a 32bit firefox using ubuntu 64 [00:13] kklimonda: well, at least 4 GB, for sure [00:13] kklimonda: however much of your RAM is actually in-use [00:13] Wyzard - Am running unbuntu now [00:13] cdm10 have u seen this before? [00:13] kklimonda: to be sure. [00:13] cdm10: thanks [00:13] lekremyelsew: have I seen what? [00:13] lekremyelsew: oh, flash issues? [00:13] zelrikriando, ok look at lines 63 to 65 and at lines 66 to 70 , see you have lines missing in the first set, add a Viewport 0 0 and Depth 24 [00:13] cdm10: the flash not work [00:13] JesusFreak ~ All of the programs are open source, and the security is much more complete without annoying you. [00:13] Wyzard: but will 4GB be enough? it's still way to much but i could live with that.. [00:13] cdm10: yeah [00:13] I rather run this program then windows xp or vista [00:13] I have never gotten wireless to work in Gutsy/Hardy ... Ran Hardy on an HP dv5000, did not detect any networks while XP on the same machine finds 3... [00:14] how do i tell if my laptop has bluetooth capabilities [00:14] lekremyelsew: well, no... my flash works with or without the package. It might work for you with the package, though, because it'll force it to go through PulseAudio. [00:14] Does the card work? [00:14] kklimonda: I doubt you'll actually need 4GB unless all your RAM is actually "full" [00:14] xb3rt look at the specs [00:14] Pelo: you [00:14] kklimonda: but I'd allocate enough for that, just to make sure [00:14] xb3rt, check the makers brochure [00:14] It should tell you if it has bluetooth [00:14] !ops | howapt [00:14] howapt: Help!

I can now listen to MP3's and use teamspeak [00:15] Hey all I'm following the instructions here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158) to recompile my kernel on 8.04 server install, and when I get to the "make-kpkg clean" it's failing looking for a Makefile for the xen architecture. Does that thread not apply to 8.04 or have I missed something? [00:15] Dial_tone: sorry for the late response, but yes I do have files shared on windows [00:15] MidgetSpy, make-dpkg clean maybe [00:15] xb3rt I think there is a program for it but I would just go to the manufacturers website and look at the spec sheet [00:15] I'm following a guide to get video working on the mac book pro wit ATI and I installed xorg-driver-fglrx_8.471-0*.deb but when I rebooted, update manager says it has a newer version. But the version number is 1:7.10-8-3+2.6.24.12-16.34. So which one should I use? the one the guide said to download or th one the repos claim is newer?

[00:16] when i trigger suspend in ubuntu, I want it to run "metacity --replace" before it starts suspending and "compiz --replace" after it resumes. can someone help me with this? I tried editing "/usr/sbin/pm-suspend" with "metacity --replace &" in the first line in order to accomlish the first half of this, but it does not seem to be working. any ideas? [00:16] Any body know where to get the driver for it? [00:16] themoebius_, the guide was probably made before the new package came out , so try the new one , no garranties howver [00:16] kklimonda: I don't really miss Flash much... most of the Flash stuff I see on the web is stupid animated banner ads that waste CPU anyway [00:16] whats a good torrent program to use ? [00:16] typing in "smb://computer/games/" also does not, but "smb://computer/games/snes/" does [00:17] pinno: you can try transmission, deluge, azeurues [00:17] even though the games folder is shared, not the snes subdirectory === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:17] pinno, transmission is good and preinstalled in hardy [00:17] Hello, on my Ubuntu 8.04 install running c-f, I get random mouse drifts, the mouse will just randomly move halfway across the screen while I am using it or sometimes even when I am not.

I'd like the end user only to have to supply his username and password, everything else (network, xorg.conf etc) should be configured already.

[00:18] SilverReadman: for Windows drivers, look on the card manufacturer's website [00:18] kklimonda: i agree, just use 32bit, your headaches go away [00:18] Awesome. Thanks.

Azureus can be slow and buggy, but it's ridiculously powerful. [00:18] themoebius_, I have no idea [00:18] Silver I would google the driver and add Linux and see what you find [00:18] kklimonda: On those occasions I use my 32-bit laptop, or boot a 32-bit OS in VMware [00:19] how to remove vhba-module-1.0.0??

[00:29] Pelo: no, from a deb [00:29] demonspork: I don't remember mentioning MS? [00:29] Jordan_U: hm no, I haven't done any updates. It says beta 5 here. Is that not the newest maybe? [00:29] enaner: same place you got the 64-bit one [00:29] hello, can anyone help me? all of a sudden no sound anymore when watching youtube, i do have sound in VLC, and i had sound in browser too before... thanks [00:29] Pelo, Are you trying to get X to fail? If so you should know that it is perfectly happy without an xorg.conf in recent versions :) [00:29] ok [00:29] enaner: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [00:30] Im having some trouble hosting games (WC3), with UFW, i allowed the port, but its still not allowing me to host. Any ideas? [00:30] now it s gonna fail [00:30] hi, i just updated to 8.04 from 7.10, i used to have an option to choose my monitor by brand, model etc, and now i can't find that anywhere, is it no longer available? [00:30] Derspankster, I was just making a comparison, saying that beta products are not bad, in fact they are usually pretty good [00:30] Is there a way to make it so every time you mount a CD it displays the icon in the same place on the desktop every time? [00:30] quiddi sounds like a firewall / router issue [00:30] Jordan_U, damn the devs , how can we fix things if we can't brake them anymore ? [00:30] Pelo: I download the debs from here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93175&package_id=256719 [00:30] pen, yeah I figures, [00:30] brb [00:31] Pelo, interesting /etc/rc.local seemed to work, x11vnc is now running... and i always just run it without a password, and it's asking me for a password... and the root password for that machine or the main user's password doesn't work... i can ssh in with a user, but when i vnc:/192.168.0.102 it asks for a pw and rejects any that i've tried. [00:31] Pelo, One good way is to make an xorg.conf with : Driver "muahahahahahahahaha!" [00:31] dabbill, mount a cd and drag and drop the icon where you want it, then when you mount a cd in that drive again, the icon should appear in the same spot as your moved it to [00:31] thank you Wyzard ... i am downloading the alternate 1386 [00:31] demonspark: yeah, FF3 beta isn't bad, should be very good when it's final. Just didn't think they'd release with a Beta. A lot of people had FF2 extensions that they relied on. [00:31] enaner: The alternate one may not be what you want [00:31] anyone? [00:31] tim167: I can't help you, but I'm having the same problem as you quite frequently. I haven't found any other solution than relogging. [00:32] Derspankster, You can still install FF2, it's in universe I believe [00:32] enaner: That's a plain text-based installer, rather than a liveCD and graphical installer [00:32] is there a way to install .sis files for nokia phones in linux [00:32] also emerald theme manager completely stopped working [00:32] it opens up and lets me choose the theme but it doesn't do anything [00:32] I'm trying to convert a postscript file (.ps) to a pdf as quickly as possible. any ideas? [00:32] hey guys im remastering eeebuntu to fit on my eee 2g computer i was wondering how to list all packages so i can remove them [00:32] demonspork, where do i drag it from? the places menu? or out of nautilus? [00:32] arrrghhh, no idea what you just said [00:32] in Hardy... when volumes "automount" you see them in "Places"... is there a way to keep that functionality but give tehm meaningful names? Or would I have to put entries in fstab and mount them that way in order to get the names I want? [00:32] but this is irrelevant compared to the fact that my screen resolution is wrong and i can't find the menu to choose my monitor anywhere [00:32] hello [00:32] Jordan_U: yes, I know. But, how can you go back to the farm once you've seen the Big City? [00:32] Jordan_U, ;-) [00:32] koro, hit alt+f2 and type "emerald --replace" and see what happens [00:32] Pelo: why I can install it in the first time then i can't remove it after? [00:32] Wyzard: is there a set of instructions I can follow, or can you help me ... cuz it's 92% done already i would hate to cancel [00:32] hi there [00:32] hey that worked [00:32] wait wait i got it [00:33] dabbill, drag the icon that should show up on the desktop [00:33] please do /whois GoodJob and please tell me what you get [00:33] enaner: There's nothing wrong with it (as an advanced user I prefer it, actually) but I don't want you to think that the "alternate" CD is what's needed for a 32-bit machine [00:33] zelrikriando, well now taht you donT have an xorg.conf try reconfgure and see what xorg.conf it comes up with [00:33] demonspork: is that permanent? [00:33] Pelo: still not failing....hardy heron is tough ! [00:33] help w/nvidia drivers? just upgraded and cant seem to get 6800gt working past 800x600.. tried enabling, unenabling the redo, no go [00:33] now is this important? to the system that is.. 120592 adobereader-enu [00:33] I need a voice recognition to translate it spoken word into text in a text editor.... any advice? [00:33] Pelo, uhm... the /etc/rc.local location seemed to lick the problem, but now x11vnc is running and asking for a password when it never has before... [00:33] demonspork, i drag it to where i want it, but every time i put in a different CD it moves back to the top left of my desktop [00:33] demonspork: or should i modify some config file to make that permanent? [00:33] how can I see what's using a module? [00:33] pen, becaue the package was badly made, I suggest you do a search for vhba and manualy delete everyting you find [00:33] enaner: You've downloaded 92% of a 700MB file in two minutes? [00:33] Wyzard: is it that much harder? [00:33] hey guys, I'm having a problem with libdvdcss2, I'm using totem-xine and it says that it can't play it because libdvdcss2 isn't installed when it is. I'm running 64bit hardy [00:33] reiki: I've added my volumes to fstab now, but they still have the stupid names in Places :P [00:33] koro, no it is not, but if you add it to you "Session" then it will become permanent [00:33] mkquist_: i have a similar problem, i can't find the menu where you choose what monitor you're using [00:33] Pelo: the included files only contains a .c file [00:34] hyjal: that seems a bit odd doesn't it? [00:34] :) [00:34] enaner: No, not really... some people just get intimidated by things that aren't graphical [00:34] arrrghhh, odd I always assumed that suff in /etc/rc.local automaticaly ran as root [00:34] ferris_, Unfortunately I think the best option is to run something like Dragon Naturally speaking in wine :( [00:34] koro - well thats just system, preferences, screen reslolution.. look there [00:34] Wyzard: no i was already downloading it bcz of the "Alternate" not because of i386... bcz i was having trouble wit ubuntu and regular xubuntu ... [00:34] I'm having a problem with the soundcard on Hardy... when I watch something on flash, it seems to lock the soundcard so I don't have sound on any other app, like mp3s or so [00:34] demonspork: thanks [00:34] pen, I don'T know then , sorry [00:34] after resume [from STR] i have to unload the bluetooth module for my system [omnibook module] and load it again; how can i make this work automatically [unload the module before suspend and load it again after resume]? i tried to put omnibook in MODULES [file /etc/default/acpi-support] but to no avail [and i think maybe this only works for suspend/resume and not for hibernate/resume]; can anybody , please, help me with this? [00:34] Pelo, do i put "sudo" before the command then?!? [00:34] enaner: The process is basically the same; it just looks different [00:34] i get a quick flicker every 20 seconds or so with hardy, I never had this with any other ubuntu since dapper, and not even with the hardy betas. [00:34] is it normal is my computer isnt crashing without any xorg.conf* in my /etc/X11/ directory ? [00:34] hyjal: hm i found my problem: the volume slider in youtube was way down! and it remembers its position even after closing and reopening firefox!, also it never works while i have another program open that uses sound at the same time... [00:34] arrrghhh, try , can'T hurt [00:34] if* [00:34] anyone know if this is important to the operation of our system 120592 adobereader-enu [00:34] Pelo, It doesn't? [00:34] Wyzard: thank you for your help =] [00:34] enaner: If you're already downloading it, make sure you're not getting the 64-bit alternate CD; you'll have the same problem with that one [00:34] mkquist: no, that only gives a menu to choose among the available resolutions, which are based (or used to be in 7.10 anyway) in the monitor you chose [00:35] hey guys, i'm having trouble upgrading to hardy, it's really weird I get an error that says that I need to clear up space in "/" folder, but the hard drive has more than enough space to install ubuntu... any ideas..??? [00:35] Jordan_U, thanks I can just use Vista then... thanks [00:35] what i'm trying to do is run the application that lets you choose the right m onitor [00:35] rebooting machine now... ssh always works great :) [00:35] reiki: I don't know if it's odd, I'm not really familiar with this.:P At least I got them to automount on boot by putting them in fstab [00:35] ive been trying to get my hands on a fun open source game, they all seem to drop a .sh file on my desktop what can i do with it? [00:35] it showed all possible brands and models [00:35] zelrikriando, jordan mentions that the new X deosnT' mind if there is no xorg.conf, the damn thing is uncrashable [00:35] koro: youll probably have to reconifigure xorg, have you tried that? [00:35] Wyzard: fortunately its i386 =] [00:35] psycardis, so basicaly it's working now ? it's fixed ? [00:35] Pelo: ok [00:35] <_neon_3> e-sata hd how can i auto mount it everytime i boot, instead of going thru settings/advance/disk&filesystem to enable it [00:35] mkquist: no, i was reticent to do that since i didn't have to in 7.10 and i doubted that they would have removed such a nice feature [00:35] uncrashable X? [00:35] did they? [00:36] i installed the restricted formats for ubuntu 64bit and i cant get mp3/aac to show up as a choice in the cd ripper did i miss something [00:36] Pelo: "Hardy" is a good adjective for that one :) [00:36] hey guys, i'm having trouble upgrading to hardy, it's really weird I get an error that says that I need to clear up space in "/" folder, but the hard drive has more than enough space to install ubuntu... any ideas..??? [00:36] i mean, do you know what application i'm taling about? [00:36] and psycardis it's not a good idea to ask questions with /notice , if other ppl can put in there two cents they can'T , only use /notice for offtopic comments with your pals [00:36] i don't recal exactly in what menu it was located, but probably system-> administration -> monitor or something [00:36] anyone? [00:36] it'll create a new xorg.conf if there isn't one present. [00:36] xubean: What does "df -h /" show for your root filesystem?

[00:37] xchat is for people still clinging to windows [00:37] irssi is for penguin pimps. [00:37] koro: yeah, know what you mean, what kinda card u running gfx wise? [00:37] Adronicus: I use pidgin [00:37] hi [00:37] anyone can help me?

[00:38] wyzard: it shows 1.5 g avail out of 9.4G that's 85% [00:38] Derspankster: you've missed the point [00:38] xubean: That 1.5GB probably isn't enough for the upgrade [00:38] im trying to install vendetta [00:38] anyone can hlep me install USB? [00:38] in 8.04, whenever I boot the system networking doesn't work. The only way I can get it to work correctly is to unload the forcedeth kernel module (the nvidia LAN driver) and reload it with the options "msi=0 msix=0". I tried adding those options to the /etc/modprobe.d/options file, but it doesn't seem to work and I still have to reload it manually. What can I do to fix this? [00:38] MidgetSpy, that is so far over my head I can'T even see it [00:38] Pelo: i want to remove the name and reinstall then try to remove it [00:38] chaqu1: www.winehq.com [00:38] what's the difference between regular xchat and xchat-gnome, just the ui? [00:38] pen, you can'T [00:38] i have the .sh install file [00:38] Pelo, so sudo before the command yielded the same result... strange when i run x11vnc from ssh, i can connect w/o a pw. when it's running it from rc.local, it asks for a password. using the same line. [00:38] laeg: I did? [00:38] !games | chaqu1 [00:38] chaqu1: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [00:38] tim167: I'm having the problem right now again. No sound plays from flash, and I've checked the volume slider ;) I don't have any other sound apps running [00:38] demonspork, i drag it to where i want it, but every time i put in a different CD it moves back to the top left of my desktop any way to fix that? [00:38] wyzard: so how can I clean up just the "/" folder, I cleaned up home, usr folder, i don't know how to clean up just the "/" folder [00:38] chaqu1: You can browse in Add/Remove Programs [00:38] Pidgin user here too: love the multi-protocol [00:38] Pelo: why not? [00:38] arrrghhh, what's the line ? [00:39] i already downloaded the .sh file [00:39] xubean: Uninstall packages you don't need? [00:39] installer.sh [00:39] anyome install herdy heron on mother board ASUS M2N-MX ????? i'm have problems in installer indentify the hard drive [00:39] Hi there. The ubuntu upgrade app crashed after a package installation failed. I fixed the problem installing that package, now how do I go about finishing up the install process? [00:39] xubean: ...and what did you "clean up" in /usr? [00:39] dabbill, I don't know, in 7.10 it would just stay where you put it :( [00:39] can anyone give me some support? [00:39] Pelo: I want to make it broken so I can autoremove or perform other actions [00:39] pen, synaptic displays the avaialbe packages and just checks them when they are installed, it's not like you can remove the package [00:39] how can I see what process is using a module? [00:39] chaqu1: Are you able to open that .sh file? Sounds like a standalone [00:39] wyzard: just like old games and files i didn't need... [00:39] what the difference between 'main menu' in system>pref. and 'menu editor' in apps>other? [00:39] demonspork, it wouldnt stay put in 7.10 or 8.04 for me [00:39] Okay, lets try asking this again. When I share a folder in Windows, I can't access it from Places->Network. It can see the computer on the network, but not any of the computer's shared folders. When I type in "smb://computer/games/snes" it will show me the shared snes roms, but this is inconvenient, and on top of that, zsnes cannot play these roms. How can I solve both of these problems? [00:39] sudo x11vnc -http -rfbauth 5900 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -display :0 -forever -bg [00:39] it is interesting that my xorg.conf shows the monitor as "generic lcd display" and model name "LCD panel 1680x1050" (which is correct) but it does not list the resolution 1680x1050! [00:39] Pelo: I mean remove the name of the package from the list so it won't detect as being installed already [00:39] hyjal: they can even be apps running in the background hijacking your soundcard, or another webpage with a flash player.. [00:40] Pelo: so I can install deb again [00:40] Pelo, sudo x11vnc -http -rfbauth 5900 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -display :0 -forever -bg [00:40] pen, I don' t know how, you can try this, get the source and compile it manualy then remove it by compiling it in reverse [00:40] Pelo: now i only got reinstall option [00:40] Pelo: ok [00:40] I've got my Hardy Installed, but I cannot figure out how to install NDISWRAPPER, so I can connect to the internet. I don't have all kinds of stuff like GCC, DPKG-DEV, and so on...is this normal? [00:40] chaqu1: Go to that directory and type ./name.sh [00:40] chaqu1: in the terminal [00:40] alright can someone help me im trying to install an nvidia card and during the install it says unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel and I cant find the kernel anywhere what do i do [00:40] Pelo: the reconfigure didnt do anything fancy to my graphics [00:40] i get a quick flicker every 20 seconds or so with hardy, I never had this with any other ubuntu since dapper, and not even with the hardy betas. [00:40] has anyone gotten remote terminal server to successfully connect to a winxp remote desktop in hardy heron? [00:40] so anyone else knows where to find the application to configure the monitor by brand/model ? [00:40] it says it cannot open that file [00:40] zelrikriando, did it do anythig fancy to the xorg.conf file ? [00:40] Pelo: everything is like "default"....no Intel or so [00:40] is there X server issues in hardy [00:41] Hi there. The ubuntu upgrade app crashed after a package installation failed. I fixed the problem installing that package, now how do I go about finishing up the install process? [00:41] hyjal: but it still is an annoying problem, i often have to 'sudo killall' something before i get sound from youtube [00:41] is there a way i can add an icon to my desktop that will be dedicated to my cdrom that will switch between 2 icons weither its mounted or unmounted? [00:41] chaqu1: What are the permissions of that file? [00:41] in 7.10, the desktop icons for the mounted media would be named after its mount point, but in hardy I can't get the icons to say anything except "62.9 GB Media" even though they are mounted. How to fix this? [00:41] zelrikriando, I give up [00:41] tim167: yes, I guess there is something running in the background, as a relog will always fix the problem for me :/ [00:41] Pelo: my xorg.conf is as light as it could bt [00:41] sh: Can't open ./vendetta-linux-x-installer.sh [00:41] be [00:41] warmexxus, Yes, Ubuntu does not come with development tools by default [00:41] ive tried doing it sudo and user account [00:41] hey can anyone read me?

Ceck if the service is available [00:42] koro, I don't think that it's available in Hardy because it was so flakey in Gutsy and did not allow for dynamic changes, you should be able to use your old xorg.conf though [00:43] Does anyone know how to blacklist a wireless AP? I keep connecting to an unprotected network when mine goes down and Id rather not... [00:43] ok i'll try that [00:43] also there's soemthing bugging me [00:43] i installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras for hardy 64 but i cant get aac/mp3 to work in sound juicer any ideas [00:43] wyzard: there is one, but it's like a file and not a folder... and it's 0.0 kb [00:43] arrrghhh, also you could maybe give full execute permission to the x11vnc file ?maybe [00:43] howcome my pidgin and xchat dont blink in the taskbar anymore when i get messages?

[00:46] Is there any documentation on how to get packages promoted from universe to main? [00:46] xubean: Seeing the files within it happens by mounting it, which is already done, in this case on / [00:46] koro, leave the defaults [00:46] ok i'll try that, brb [00:46] koro, whatversion of ubuntu are you running ? === matthew__ is now known as underdog5004 [00:46] wyzard: oh ok.. so how can i free up space in "/" ? i try to remove old packages? from synaptic package remover?

[00:47] MarcN: I did do autoclean, but I need to cleanup 450 mb, and not just a few mbs [00:47] xubean, yes [00:48] Wyzard: do you know if you can UPGRADE to 64bit -desktop? i dont want to lost all my settigs and such from the 32bit -server i have now [00:48] Pelo, yes, i'm trying to have x11vnc run persistently so when a machine reboots i can still vnc in and login. [00:48] xubean: Yes, uninstall stuff you don't need [00:48] xubean: do you have the development tools installed? Remove them and add them afer upgrading. KDE too if you have it installed. [00:48] beernutz: You can't "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit [00:48] pen:can you see it, it means test [00:48] beernutz: need to reinstall [00:48] There seems to be a problem with NetworkManager unable to connect (atleast via wifi) if I use macchanger to change the mac address of my wifi card. It only wants to work if the mac address is set to the default factory one [00:48] i have this working beautifully on my kubuntu machine. now i'm trying to replicate that success in a plain ubuntu machine [00:48] chaqu1: are you in the directory of the .sh file when you run ./xxx.sh ? [00:48] how can i get the restricted formats working under 64bit? [00:48] morning guys [00:48] icesword: I can't read it.

[00:49] i have disabled *everything*, and it absolutely will not remember any bookmarks [00:49] it reverts to the default bookmarks every time [00:49] after ubuntu 8.04 I can't logoff x hangs and need ctrl alt backspace to get back to login screen [00:49] Wyzard: may i PM you? [00:49] psycardis: That's possible with some configuration trickery, but to potentially save you some unnecessary work: why do you think you need to do that? [00:49] beernutz: What for? [00:49] really strange, after the update to hardy, the included card games don't run smooth anymore. it takes the cpu a lot of power to move the cards around [00:49] what package is gnome-display-properties in? [00:50] arrrghhh, youwould have to run the same in gnome I guess , [00:50] so, anyone else get the "Could not calculate the upgrade" error when trying to update to 8.04?? [00:50] Wyzard: some more specific questions that i dont think apply to anyone but me [00:50] yes i am [00:50] :-( [00:50] I have a built-in webcam, but dont know where to begin with the setup. Is it complicated? [00:50] alexbe01, Does it remember anything else? Perhaps the DB it keeps things stored in has screwed up permissions? [00:50] xorg.conf ok [00:50] removing a whole folder with contents is "rm ... what?" [00:50] beernutz: Ask in the channel anyway; that way I'm not the only one who can answer [00:50] beernutz, all questions get asked here, you have no idea who might be having the same problem :) === have_solu is now known as flyback [00:50] ok I'M out for now , later folks [00:50] xubean: Try: dpkg --list |grep kde and then apt-get remove kde or kde-base or whatever [00:50] i checked up on it and its been filed as a bug [00:50] !webcam [00:50] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [00:51] IntangibleLiquid, It really depends on the webcam, some work out of the box, others just require firmware to work, the rest are generally PITA [00:51] There seems to be a problem with NetworkManager unable to connect (atleast via wifi) if I use macchanger to change the mac address of my wifi card. It only wants to work if the mac address is set to the default factory one. It all worked perfectly fine in Gutsy, but it's not so happy in Hardy [00:51] chaqu1: what is the name of the .sh file? [00:51] whats the command to delete a folder with contents? [00:51] chaqu1: is it an installer? [00:51] is there a way i can add an icon to my desktop that will be dedicated to my cdrom that will switch between 2 icons weither its mounted or unmounted? [00:51] Wyzard: everytime i open"Movie Player" my screen goes dark and everything stops ... what should I do?? [00:51] vendetta-linux-amd64-installer.sh [00:51] Jordan_U: thanks. I'm reading the website ubotu gave me [00:51] chaqu1: ah ok [00:51] i dont know why, but i have never been able to upgrade to newer releases, I always have to go and do a clean install [00:52] chaqu1: type sh ./vendetta-linux... .sh [00:52] enaner, use mplayer instead?

[00:52] Wyzard: ok, basically i still need to keep the -server install i have now, but i really need to get the nvidia drivers going. i am running a 4xdualcore rig with 16 gig of ram as a high end workstation. The nvidia drivers think i am running a xen kernel, and refuse to contiune. Not sure how to rememdy this. [00:52] theunixgeek, no diffrent from compiling any other program [00:52] and now the update manager says i can do a partial upgrade?? ugh [00:52] theholyduck: is this the correct way to compile? cc buttons.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` [00:52] but why are you compiling something in the first place [00:52] enaner: No idea about that one, sorry... maybe someone else can help [00:52] theholyduck: because I wrote it ;) [00:52] how do i restart alsa [00:52] 16gigs of ram?..lol [00:53] marcN: thanks a lot man, I think that's gonna work for me [00:53] theunixgeek, hmm :P [00:53] theholyduck i want to find out what causes it [00:53] tokah_: could always restart the computer [00:53] yeah [00:53] I have been attempting to get my wireless card to work with Ubuntu on the Live CD for a long time. If I install Ubuntu, would I have more luck of succedeing? [00:53] enaner, well i wouldnt know :P [00:53] the file isnt showing up if i type ls [00:53] Wyzard: so far your suggestion with i386 is working wonderfully :) [00:53] what package is gnome-display-properties in? [00:53] blah569, not really :P [00:53] what's an alternative to network manager? [00:53] Wyzard: the nvidia driver installer i mean refuses to continue. [00:53] blah569, whats your card? [00:53] chaqu1: what about ls -a? [00:53] theunixgeek, i though this was linux not windows [00:53] i wonder if its because I am running 64-bit... [00:53] blah569, some cards require you to install some extra firmware to work [00:53] * tokah_ blasphemous [00:53] can i get any help with installing ubuntu to a new comp? it can't create the ext partitiion during the installation [00:53] tokah_: this IS linux [00:53] RTL8186B. RTL8187B is supported, RTL8186B is not D: [00:53] Ciao a tutti!!! [00:53] beernutz: The -server kernel might be Xen-enabled, actually [00:53] ok, so restarting does what again? [00:53] nothing.

Grazie! === Juhaz_ is now known as Juhaz [00:54] no i dont see it [00:54] but its on my desktop [00:54] :-( [00:54] tokah_: GTK is mainly Linux-oriented [00:54] blah569: most likely on an install, you' dhave better luck, most cards require restarting [00:54] chaqu1: try cd /home/yourusername/Desktop [00:54] what's the difference between linux and windows [00:54] marcn: i still can't upgrade, says I need to free an additional 440 m fo disk space on '/'... how do I free space in '/'? [00:54] This sucks. My card is not supported (RTL8186B), but RTL8187B is supported. [00:54] Wyzard: i was affraid of that. How would i de-enable it? do you know? or is there another kernel that would see the 16gig of ram, that is still 32 bit? [00:54] theunixgeek, restarting services the the same thing as restarting [00:54] is there a way i can add an icon to my desktop that will be dedicated to my cdrom that will switch between 2 icons weither its mounted or unmounted? [00:54] tokah_: oh [00:54] enaner,just about everything if you look at it from a computer standpoint [00:55] enaner linux is free [00:55] tokah_: well it could work [00:55] how would i lock a foler so no one can peak into that folder without a password? [00:55] okay, this channel is making me cross-eyed, im out [00:55] but from a user standpoint they can be quite simelar [00:55] beernutz, AFAIK, that is a limitation of 32-bit [00:55] xubean: remove more packages. Do you have lots of stuff in /var/cache/? [00:55] xubean, '/' is your main partition, just delete some files [00:55] can i run a server off my old desktop? is that possible? [00:55] is there something else i need to be able to playback mp3/aac/divx etc on hardy64? pm me plz [00:55] chaqu1: open up a fresh terminal then type cd Desktop [00:55] tgm4883_laptop: the -server kernel is 32 bit but sees all my ram.

[00:55] how would i lock a folder so no one can peak into that folder without a password? [00:56] tgm4883_laptop: 32-bit processors can address up to 64GB of RAM using PAE [00:56] beernutz, I believe the 32 bit -server kernel can see > 4 GIG RAM, though I don't know about 16G [00:56] beernutz: Not that I know of... why don't you want to use 64-bit though? [00:56] i got it! [00:56] has anybody gotten any luck setting up ATI's Theatre 550 Pro TV tuner, or any tv ati tuner? [00:56] indygunfreak: tried that doesnt work.. how do i get them [00:56] enaner, Yes, many people ( including me ) use old desktops as servers :) [00:56] marcn: 1897 [00:56] Wyzard: the reinstall will be a rail bear, i have a lot of programs installed [00:56] chaqu1: do you want to install it on desktop?

[00:57] Jordan_U: what can i ... any way to profit from running a server on my old desktop? [00:57] ommegang: then yu're doing something wrong,... you need the 64bit codec pack.. did youg et them from medibuntu? [00:57] chaqu1: if not, first use nautius (alt+f2, then type nautilus), browse to desktop, then move it to your home folder or game folder [00:57] I currently have my whole OS in one partition, unless you count the swp partition. [00:57] how would i lock a folder so no one can peak into that folder without a password? [00:57] How can I use upstart to control things like apache? Right now I'm using invoke-rc.d but upstart seems like the direction Ubuntu is moving in. [00:57] chaqu1: ok first move it to your game folder then [00:57] indygun: yep [00:57] xubean: I have ~2k packages in ~5.6G on / My /home is elsewhere === kde4neko is now known as nekostar [00:57] Wyzard: do you know if vmware will run in the 64bit kernels? [00:57] ommeg, then you did something wrong [00:57] can anyone help with wireless probs in ff2? [00:57] Jordan_U, sorry, i missed your comment earlier - it does appear to save passwords and login sessions [00:58] indygun: tring the gstreamer stuff atm [00:58] has anybody gotten any luck setting up ATI's Theatre 550 Pro TV tuner, or any tv ati tuner? [00:58] how do you upgrade from the rc version to the stable version? [00:58] Jordan_U, just not bookmarks. ever. [00:58] marcn: sorry, and that means? [00:58] indygun: i also tried ubuntu-restricted-extras no luck [00:58] how can i permanently mount a new parition? doing sudo mount seems to last just for one session [00:58] enaner, You'll have to figure that out on your own :) ( note that many ISPs prohibit using your home connection to host a server ) [00:58] beernutz: Yes, Workstation 6 has a native 64-bit build and I use it regularly [00:58] thats commonly in /usr/games [00:58] right? [00:58] marcn: as far as i know, my home is elsewhere in /home as well.. [00:58] <_neon_3> e-sata hd how can i auto mount it everytime i boot, instead of going thru settings/advance/disk&filesystem to enable it [00:58] lowlux: Right click it, select "Properties", then in Permissions and under "Others", select folder access: none. [00:58] beernutz: Older versions were 32-bit only but they still ran fine [00:58] ommegang: if you're gonna go to the hassle of saying my name, at least say my entire name so it alerts me, otherwise i won';t bother looking for what you're typing [00:58] what does sh mean [00:58] and whats bash mean? [00:58] !tab | ommegang [00:58] ommegang: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:58] chaqu1: actually you can just move it to a game folder in your home folder [00:58] beernutz: (64-bit kernels can run 32-bit programs, and VMware bundles all the libraries it needs) [00:58] lowlux: That's a pretty decent way to hide your porn folder. [00:59] xubean: how much disk is used on your / ? I have ~2000 packaegs which consume ~5.6G of space. I could remove the dev tools to make it smaller. [00:59] Wyzard: and the flash-player? i actually need it for development [00:59] is there any way to profit financially by running a server on my old desktop?? [00:59] how do you purge all the games off of the system? [00:59] chaqu1: .sh .. is an executable extension [00:59] beernutz: There is no 64-bit Adobe Flash, on any platform [00:59] enaner: Yes, get somebody to pay you for hosting, or host something yourself which makes money. [00:59] chaqu1: and it's a bash script [00:59] if i were a bill gates supporter that would mean .exe right? [00:59] Wyzard: i guess i mean will it RUN under the 64bit kernel [00:59] beernutz: but it's possible to use the 32-bit plugin with a 64-bit browser via nspluginwrapper [00:59] RyanPrior: what can i host to make me money? [00:59] is there a common reason why ext3 partitions can't be created? ubuntu (7.10 and 8.04 RC) cant make one for installation. it isnt because the drive is sata? I doubt that is it [00:59] can anyone please help with wireless probs in ff2? [01:00] chaqu1: now open up a terminal and change to the directory where you moved your installer.sh [01:00] chaqu1, actually, a bash script would be more comparable to a really advanced batch file [01:00] beernutz: I've had mixed success with that in Debian; haven't tried it in Ubuntu because I don't have a 64-bit Ubuntu box [01:00] CorbinFox, bad sectors perhaps ? [01:00] chaqu1: you should move it to a home folder [01:00] chaqu1: e.g., /home/yourusername/games [01:00] osiris: but it does ext2 and other kinds of file systems [01:00] CorbinFox: How many primary partitions does the drive have? [01:00] enaner: You could post interesting news or fiction, scrape Wikipedia or blogs, or make Flash games and sell advertising. [01:00] i actually moved it to my homefolder [01:00] Ok, I need to change the way ubuntu inializes a device, change the order of the modules how can I do this? [01:00] CorbinFox: ah nvm then. [01:00] enaner you want to make money? Learn a programing language and then make a sweet program sell it to gates and be done with it [01:00] militantpotato: it is empty. i can wipe it clean [01:00] Wyzard: ok.. thank you. i guess i will have to start the painful process of upgrading to a 64bit install. *sigh* [01:01] so it should be intalling to my homefolder now [01:01] does anyone know of a program for using a webcam? i want to see if m;y webcam works in ubuntu [01:01] so much for www.cprogramming.com [01:01] CorbinFox, i had a drive that only wanted to do reiserFS accross 4 distros. i think it was just the drives time to get goofy [01:01] chaqu1: ok browse to that folder in a terminal, then type mkdir bin, then chmod +x installer.sh, then finally to run it ./installer.sh [01:01] Hey, I am having a problem in ubuntu. When I start the system up it will stay black and continue flicker as if its trying to find a connection. Some times it will, some times it wont and it will stay black. If it does show something the system doesnt work correctly [01:01] ixian_: Cheese is a sexy new webcam program similar to OSX's photo booth. [01:01] edward [01:01] sorr [01:01] RyanPrior: but then i can do that from a blog ... i won't need a server ... right? [01:01] any how, Can someone please fill me in on how to purge all the games off of my system so i dont have to do each one individually [01:01] its doing stuff now [01:01] im using a fresh install of apache on ubuntu, no hotlink / rewrite rules, but it wont let me access .mp3 files from localhost, I see them in the directory listing, but when I click the link I get a 403 [01:01] chaqu1: replace installer.sh with the name of the file [01:01] RyanPrior: what's the benefit of doing that from my own server? [01:01] enaner: You need to be able to host your blog, and hosting isn't free. [01:02] RyanPrior: thanks i will check it out [01:02] anybody know how to permanently mount a new partiton? kinda running out of space on this one :) [01:02] i wasnt sure if i had it right but it started running [01:02] ahboy, use the add/remove programs dialog ? [01:02] select all games [01:02] osiris remastering [01:02] enaner: If you host a blog for free with somebody else, then any advertising revenue will probably got ot hem. [01:02] so i dont have a gui [01:02] indygun: no workie [01:02] Wyzard: so 8.04-desktop-amd64 is the one i want? [01:02] all terminal work here [01:02] Ok, I need to change the way ubuntu inializes a device, change the order of the modules how can I do this? [01:02] harveyd, 403 forbiden ?

[01:02] no [01:02] yup @ os [01:02] beernutz: looks right to me [01:02] eh [01:02] its not working right [01:02] darn it [01:02] i just formated a ntfs to ext3 [01:03] RyanPrior: okay ... well what about the URL? do i still hav eto buy a URL? [01:03] Hello, Broadcom 4306 wifi help, anyone? The b43 driver & associated firmware appears to be working (iwlist scanning works) but the dhcp client doesn't get any offers... [01:03] I am trying to use another partition for a /home, but I have my home directory in my root partition at the moment. Can I safely and successfully use this other partition as a /home simply by adding a line to my /etc/fstab that says to mount it at /home? [01:03] eZe: Where is this new partition going to be hosted? [01:03] corbinfox you trying to make a primary partion or extended??? [01:03] sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www [01:03] chaqu1: did you mkdir bin, chmod +x installer.sh, then ./installer.sh ? [01:03] what does all that mean [01:03] enaner: A URL costs less than $10 per year usually, so it's not a huge investment. [01:03] tony55: i believe it is primary. [01:03] edward_: you should move the data on your old /home, but yeah [01:03] mh, on my harddrive, probably /media/hdd6 (thats where it was before i formated it) [01:03] Wyzard: how can i check if it has 3ware sata drivers on it? [01:03] chaqu1: make a folder to place the files, make the file executable, then run the file [01:03] how do i pick my video driver in ubuntu 8.10 [01:03] i keep getting core dump files stuck in my home directory. i have no clue where they are coming from. what can i do?

(I'm getting an error "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately") I've got ~/Desktop mounted from another partition than the rest of $HOME [01:04] simtower, The current version of Ubuntu is 8.04 , and you can use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers or modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf by had [01:04] tony55: i am using the ubuntu installer and when that couldnt do it i tried GPartEd [01:04] chaqu1: well we're using bin in this case. did it work? [01:04] both didnt work [01:04] jrib: If I mount this other partition, will it damage the data in my current home directory on my current root partition? Thanks. [01:04] ahboy, if the game packages depend on that, sudo apt-get autoclean [01:05] that will get rid of all abandoned packages [01:05] beernutz: It should have the same drivers as your 32-bit Ubuntu [01:05] hardy used firefox beta? [01:05] edward_: well you'll want to move the contents of you current home somewhere, like /home.old, then mount the new partition on /home and move the contents in there. You should do this in recovery mode so that you never need anything in /home [01:05] chaqu1: make you start at the directory where you placed the instller.sh file [01:05] mkquist_: yes [01:05] osiris can u help me whit something [01:05] i can try [01:05] i keep getting core dump files stuck in my home directory. i have no clue where they are coming from. what can i do?

I need to format and reinstall HH, and would rather not waste the bandwidth getting my programs back later on [01:07] thx Jordan_U [01:07] rod0009, i sent you a pm [01:07] rod0009: you can message another user with /msg username msg [01:07] Wyzard: i can just move those dirs into a "holding" directory on the same drive and install over the top right? it does not need a reformat to install 64bit? [01:07] simtower, np [01:08] !xhangs | fayetteson [01:08] fayetteson: If the GUI hangs after logging in, use to switch to text mode.

But the bootloader is still there. How do i get rid of it without a vista or XP installation disk? [01:08] ubotu and u know this works for a fact ?

[01:29] RyanPrior: That's the ideal way to do it, but I've seen bandwidth quotas done by IP address [01:29] jordan: I don't know, indexing would result in faster searches/less hard drive wear [01:30] RyanPrior & Wyzard: thanks [01:30] SeaPhor, I will try it. thanks. [01:30] I used to hate indexing but now that I have a fast computer it doesn't matter anymore [01:30] [DS]DragonSlayer: both ways, you can install it inside windows with wubi, or you can install it side by side with dual boot [01:30] <[DS]DragonSlayer> which is better [01:30] StevenX, hope it works for ya, let me know :-)) [01:30] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i read that it's slower [01:30] !install > [DS]DragonSlayer (see PM from ubotu) [01:30] <[DS]DragonSlayer> or something [01:30] S-video problem again. In windows I would right click the desktop, and go to the monitor tab and hit advanced to select the tv monitor as the output How do i do this in ubuntu hardy heron [01:30] anyone know how to get rid of the Vista Bootmanager? [01:30] * Pelo seems to recall that in the first beta he tried of hardy, metacity compositing didn't cast blue shadows over videos [01:30] [DS]DragonSlayer: wubi is slower then a normal install [01:30] !metacity [01:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:31] <[DS]DragonSlayer> yeah i'm planning to do normal install [01:31] <[DS]DragonSlayer> cuz i don't want it to be slow [01:31] Pelo: supposedly the latest Nvidia driver is causing pink shadows in Compiz, perhaps this is related? [01:31] There a way to have rhythmbox minimize on close? i miss foobar [01:31] Fogel1497, just for sending video to the tv , chek in totem's preferences [01:31] RyanPrior, intel 865g here [01:31] Pelo: I have an ATI driver and Metacity compositing works fine for me, [01:31] [DS]DragonSlayer, It's not a very big difference, the only difference is disk access because it's NTFS, it's still all completely native ( no virtualization ) [01:32] What protocol do files get transferred by with MSN? [01:32] <[DS]DragonSlayer> oo ok [01:32] MSNMS? [01:32] RyanPrior: no such problems here -- fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04, using compiz, nVidia 6200, no pink shadows [01:32] Mindaxiz: I miss Foobar too! Such a shame there's no equivalent. [01:32] RyanPrior, when yuou have a video in totem or vlc or someting, and another window open and overlapping the video do you get a shadows or a bleu line ? [01:32] <[DS]DragonSlayer> so i can do normal install w/out deleting my NTFS (windows) right? [01:32] Pelo: let me try quick. [01:32] Invisionfree: Untangle Client [01:33] how do i completely purge/get rid of a program on my comp? what command would i use? [01:33] [DS]DragonSlayer, yes, you just need to resize it to make some room , defrag it a fwe times first and then back up your imporant stuff [01:33] hello everyone [01:33] i still use 7.10 [01:33] ^^faster boot [01:33] Pelo: I get a shadow as I'd expect. [01:33] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @ Pelo: how do i resize [01:33] have anyone installed vmware on ubuntu 8.04 ? [01:33] RyanPrior, what colour shadow 6 [01:34] ? [01:34] <[DS]DragonSlayer> which F keys to boot up disc? [01:34] jesus__: I installed the Server 2.0 beta on the 8.04 release candidate, if that counts [01:34] [DS]DragonSlayer, the installer will guide you but you can also resize it in menu > system > admin < gnome partition manager , just right click , unmount, resize [01:34] do you have any tutorials on how? [01:34] Pelo: dark, just like on any surface. [01:34] Pelo: it basically acts exactly as I'd expect. [01:34] I have the one I had on the 7.10, but it won't install on the 8.04 [01:35] RyanPrior, damit, I knew someting was up , what video player ? [01:35] can anyone help me please, after upgrading from gutsy to hardy,the screen resolution looks very bad and it hurts my eyes,anyone please,thanx [01:35] jesus__: vmware-config fails while building kernel modules? [01:35] yes [01:35] how do i package something? [01:35] Wolf23, what video card ? [01:35] jesus__: You need vmware-any-any-update116 patch to support the newer kernel [01:35] Hey all, I have a question.. I downloaded the compiz screensaver, and I have it set for a 5 minute timer, but it never comes on... it goes black screen after 10 minuets, and I have to do it manually.. why is this? [01:35] it says it is installed but it needs to be configured [01:35] Pelo: nvidia [01:35] mohbana, there is an artical on that on digg do a search [01:36] let me try with the server then [01:36] Wolf23, got the restricted driver working ? in menu > system> admi > hardware driver [01:36] Pelo: Pelo on xorg.conf driver is vera [01:36] <[DS]DragonSlayer> what's a good size (disk space) for ubuntu for dual boot (100 gb HD and it has windows in it) [01:36] ok [01:36] Auctionedllama, ask in #compiz [01:36] Pelo: Totem [01:36] pelo, thanks mate [01:36] [DS]DragonSlayer, id say thats plenty [01:37] Wolf23, goto menu > sstem> admin > hardware driver [01:37] <_nix_> hello everybody :) anyone here know how to get a broadband connection up and running on a new kubuntu install? it requires user-id/password.. [01:37] RyanPrior, gstreamer or xine ? [01:37] <[DS]DragonSlayer> oh what i meant is, what size should i set it for ubuntu [01:37] hello guys [01:37] Pelo: gstreamer [01:37] <[DS]DragonSlayer> 10 gb? 20 gb? [01:37] !wifi | _nix_ [01:37] _nix_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:37] Pelo: no propietary drivers are in use on this system, [01:37] RyanPrior, I'll try and switch , see if it is better [01:37] <_nix_> it aint wireless :( i think its adsl [01:37] I checked TOTEM properties and everything, didn't see anything about sending video to my tv. [01:37] Wolf23, but does one show available ? [01:38] or a different display in general [01:38] Pelo: no [01:38] Fogel1497, it says tvout [01:38] !nvidia | Wolf23 [01:38] Wolf23: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:38] wolf try that [01:38] Where? I looked in movie > properties > and i dont see tv out [01:38] Pelo: ok [01:39] can someone help me enable desktop effects like it was in 7.10 [01:39] [DS]DragonSlayer: depends on how much you like Ubuntu.. take half and you can adjust later. You will have at minimum 2 partitions for ubuntu (done automatically) or if you partition manually make 3. 10gig for / (root) ... 1gig max for /swap and the rest for /home (your data) [01:39] Fogel1497, edit > preference [01:39] Hello, everyone. [01:39] <_nix_> hi! [01:39] go to system/administration screen and graphics and you can configure your display outputs there [01:39] simtower, install the compiz manager thingy and turn the effects on from the appearance dialog [01:39] Um... hope this isn't a bother to anyone, but... [01:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=771569 [01:40] There are two options for TVout but both have (NVIDIA) in parenthesis. I have an ATI card [01:40] I could use some help from any who are willing. [01:40] Pelo: error, desktop effects cannot be enabled [01:40] Fogel1497, sounds like either the driver supports both cards or you have the wrong driver [01:40] i get a quick flicker every 20 seconds or so with hardy, I never had this with any other ubuntu since dapper, and not even with the hardy betas. [01:40] simtower, what video card ? [01:40] when i try to browse my network, i can open other computers but it doesnt show me the drives that are shared, if i put in the location for the drive it mounts it. Where can i go to fix this? so i can just browse it as a normal folder? [01:40] anyone else? [01:40] pelo: radeon fireGL 9000 [01:41] Hi all! [01:41] simtower, got the restricted driver working ? chck i the admin menu [01:41] hi there [01:41] Pelo: the open driver works fine for firegl 9000 [01:41] I need a little help opening up a port. Port 667. [01:42] I exicuted the following command line syntax: iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 667 -j ACCEPT [01:42] I used the Ubuntu Third Party Hardware drivers to install the driver. I'm pretty sure its the correct driver. [01:42] Can anyone offer some insight into why 8.04 doesn't do font hinting as cleanly as 7.10 and earlier versions did? [01:42] I'll try reinstlaling it [01:42] simtower, ok then , everything is fine, carry one [01:42] in order to open up for 667, but on an nmap scan: nmap localhost -p0-1000 [01:42] not really pelo [01:42] it shows the port still has being closed and rejected by the server. [01:42] some kind of ubuntu bug [01:42] hmm. The nvidia driver still shows up as "not in use" [01:42] I also tried to telnet to the port and got the same error message. Any suggestions? [01:43] is anyone here running 8.04 with an nvidia card and the restricted drivers? [01:43] koro: I am, among many others [01:43] RyanPrior, thanks , it works fine with totem-gstreamer but not with totem-xine, this sucks, t-g does not support dvd menues [01:43] L, broadcom is supported depending on which one.. other here can advise on that. display shouldn't be an issue , depends on vid card.. [01:43] can someone help me enable desktop effects like it was in 7.10? [01:43] simtower, so try the restricted driver then [01:43] Pelo: I use a program called Ogle for DVD menus. [01:43] koro, i was but just went back to 7.10, and now am about to go back to 8.04 [01:43] Wyzard: if you go to "hardware drivers" in system->administration, does the "nvidia accelerated graphics driver" show up as in use? [01:44] or does it have a red ball next to it? [01:44] koro: Does yours say "nvidia_new" and show up as enabled but not in-use? [01:44] Anyone? [01:44] RyanPrior, I use to as well , I just liked the fact that it was all in one with totem-xine [01:44] Well the thing with the vid card is, the driver can only be gotten from the acer website, but it's only for vista.... [01:44] Pelo: yeah, I didn't know that Xine did DVD menus. It's too bad that gstreamer doesn't. [01:44] flaxcrack, it's easier on us if you state your problem in one line === netpirate is now known as Evil_inside [01:44] So it won't install without vista. [01:44] Wyzard: doesn't say nvidia_new, says "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" and it is marked as enabled but has a red ball and says "not in use" in status [01:45] L: you are going to have to find it for linux, otherwise your going to have one hell of a task ahead of you [01:45] koro: OK, that may not be the same problem that I saw [01:45] OKay: I'm trying to open up port 667 on my ubuntu 8.04 box; however, I am unable to do so. My syntax is: iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 667 -j ACCEPT. [01:45] koro: but just in case, close that window, open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update", then open the Hardware Drivers window again [01:45] Wyzard: ojh but you haven't told me what you see? [01:45] looks like i have one hell of a task ahead of me... [01:45] I'm going to stream media. Which is best of VLC or mplayer? [01:45] i just did an update, nothing new there [01:45] ^^' [01:45] L, you mean the vista driver can only be gotten from the acer website.. the card will typically be an intel i8xx or i9xx series, an ATI or Nvidia card.. there aint much else out there.. espicially in laptops [01:45] flaxcrack, by default , no port is closed in ubuntu out of the box [01:46] later folks [01:46] how do i unload a module from the terminal? [01:46] koro: still shows up as enabled but not in-use after an update? [01:46] there's nothing to update [01:46] how do i completely purge/get rid of a program on my comp? what command would i use? [01:46] <[DS]DragonSlayer> if i edit a partition that has windows in it, how do i resize it? [01:46] koro: update, not upgrade [01:46] Well, when I tried to get it from the nvidia site, they told me it could only be retrieved by going to the acer site. [01:46] koro: just to download new package lists [01:46] <[DS]DragonSlayer> w/out losing windows files [01:46] Pelo, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-open-bittorrent-ports-from-the-command-line.html says different. [01:46] but i did it 15 minutes ago [01:46] gustavo_: I minute and I check. [01:46] doing it again just in case [01:46] So, I did, and the only one they have available for download, is for vista. [01:47] Zambezi: ok.. [01:47] yes, still shows as not in use [01:47] can someone help me enable desktop effects like it was in 7.10? [01:47] koro: The problem I've seen (both on my system and someone else in this channel) is that the installer didn't download package lists, so apt doesn't know about any available packages whatsoever [01:47] [DS]DragonSlayer, The installation will walk you through that [01:47] Wyzard: could you confirm that yours shows as "in use"? [01:47] i am searching a file with the command find in my shell how can send it in the reader evince [01:47] hmm hold on there [01:48] i didn't download the installer through synaptic or apt-get [01:48] koro: That causes the Hardware Drivers window to not work properly -- the box is checked but it's not in-use, but instead of "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" it just says "nvidia_new" [01:48] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @ Jordan, does it let me choose if i do GUIDE - use freed space? [01:48] i downloaded the nvidia installer [01:48] How can I use upstart to control things like apache? Right now I'm using invoke-rc.d but upstart seems like the direction Ubuntu is moving in. [01:48] gustavo_: I just remember how to blacklist. [01:48] when i try to browse my network, i can open other computers but it doesnt show me the drives that are shared, if i put in the location for the drive it mounts it. Where can i go to fix this? so i can just browse it as a normal folder? [01:48] koro: I'm recommending you do an update in case that's the problem you're having too, but it might not be, since you don't have one of those two symptoms [01:48] simtower: You do it the same way as in 7.10, through Appearance -> Desktop Effects. [01:48] hi all. Hardy is an awesome release. Personally I would like to thank everybody for developing and/or using it. Great work! Thank you! [01:48] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @ Jordan right now it says i have 54 gb free space to use for ubuntu, will it let me choose how much to use? [01:48] ok so why would x11vnc being run from /etc/rc.local act differently than running it from an ssh login as root? [01:48] MrKeuner: enjoy! [01:48] Zambezi: its something trivial, but i just forgot :( [01:48] Wyzard: i just did, nothing changed [01:48] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @ jordan instead of using the whole 54 gb [01:48] can someone help me enable desktop effects like it was in 7.10? I get an error when enabling it in 8.04 [01:48] L, but you did that in vista.. and it's a vista driver.. is the dvd or cd you burned a "live cd"? if so boot from it and see what happens.. if everything works great. install. if it doesn't come back here and ask how to "make work" .. I wouldn't sweat the video driver.. [01:49] i requested 3 cds from ship it and it said 4 were approved? any help [01:49] koro: OK, dunno then [01:49] simtower: What is the error? (The more information you give us, the more help we are able to give!) [01:49] Wyzard: but anyway, these drivers i'm talking about are the ones you download from nvidia and that have their own installer [01:49] !seen Pelo [01:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about seen pelo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:49] koro: ...oh, don't use that [01:49] RyanPrior: Could not enable Desktop Effects. [01:49] !seen [01:49] The seen function has not been operational for a long time. Use /msg seenserv seen nickname instead. [01:49] koro: Remove that and use the packages [01:49] simtower: pastebin the output of glxinfo please [01:49] Wyzard: why? [01:49] Zambezi: rmmod [01:49] <[DS]DragonSlayer> Will the GUIDE - resize partition allow me to choose how much to use for partition? [01:49] Honestly, I'm not INCREDIBLY worried about the video driver. [01:49] I don't think i can do that, these are not available for amd-64 afaik [01:49] Is there a way to check the permissions of a file in the xxx format? I'm trying to figure out the difference between "drwxr-xr-x" and "drwxrwxrwx" (the latter folder is highlighted in the terminal).. Thanks! [01:50] *folder [01:50] But what I am worried about is the wireless. [01:50] koro, i had real bad probs with the nvidia drivers [01:50] gustavo_: I just wrote that, but erase. You were quicker. [01:50] How do I load ndiswrapper at startup? Someone showed me once, and I can't remember or find the same method. [01:50] SeaPhor: what problems? [01:50] LainIwakura: the latter one is open to everyone [01:50] Uhmm sorry to ask this, anyone free to help a newbie with an ATI driver problem? [01:50] !anyone | mocap [01:50] mocap: 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? [01:50] If by LIVE CD you mean, I restart with the disc in and boot ubuntu via CD, then yes. [01:50] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @ anyone Will the GUIDE - resize partition allow me to choose how much to use for partition? [01:50] koro: because nVidia's generic installer script is not customized for Ubuntu and doesn't integrate properly into the system like the packged version does [01:50] If anybody has trouble with Audacity-1.3.4 beta not working, I was able to fix that in a roundabout way! [01:50] x11vnc is being run without a password, but when i run it from rc.local it asks for a password. doesn't ask when i run it from ssh [01:50] RyanPrior, http://pastebin.com/m8b70239 [01:50] should I be able to easily use LVM even if I have never used it before? I will be using newly formatted drives so I don't need to worry about implementing it in an existing system [01:50] koro: and the packaged driver should work fine on 64-bit [01:51] Wyzard: yeah i'm aware of that, but at least it does allow me to make full use of my card [01:51] koro, wouldnt keep settings, would revert and i couldnt get better than 600x400 res, and on and on [01:51] Scunizi: what about the former? when i create a folder in my home folder, it's the former [01:51] i tried the nvidia drivers i found in the repositories and it really sucked [01:51] Zambezi: thx anyway :) [01:51] Does the Mesa driver support compositing? [01:51] maybe i didn't get the right ones? [01:51] koro: The Ubuntu restricted nvdia packages are the *same software* provided by nVidia, just made into a .deb that installs cleanly and properly [01:51] SeaPhor: well it's working just fine for me [01:51] gustavo_: No problem. [01:51] koro, Wyzard knows what he's talking about [01:51] But it says something about the wireless and it needs extracted from the firmware, or... um.... something, and I ok it, but it comes back and doesn't work, and then it says restart to work, so I did, and same prob.. [01:51] Wyzard: oh i didn't know about that; in that case i did get the wrong stuff [01:52] koro: This is the correct way to set up the nVidia driver in Ubuntu: [01:52] koro: 1) install Ubuntu [01:52] so should i uninstall these and install through synaptic? [01:52] koro, it did for me too,,, at first, for nearly the first week [01:52] koro: 2) Open that Hardware Drivers window and click the Enabled checkbox [01:52] koro: 3) Reboot when it tells you to [01:52] RyanPrior: I wouldn't think so. Mesa is software rendering of OpenGL, and AIGLX is a hardware accelerated thing. [01:52] koro: 4) There is no step 4 [01:52] !enter | Wyzard [01:52] Wyzard: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:52] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @ anyone Will the GUIDE - resize partition allow me to choose how much to use for partition? [01:52] well i already did step 1) and i did something wrong after that since i installed the drivers manually [01:52] But I do suppose it was booting from a cd, so it couldn't write to it as if it were a drive I guess. [01:52] so what would you suggest for my case? [01:53] [DS]DragonSlayer, Yes [01:53] koro: right, so you should remove that, assuming nVidia provides an uninstall script [01:53] simtower: I'm guessing it's failing because you're using the Mesa driver. Try switching to the proprietary one. [01:53] does gnome-terminal has the option to cut and paste highlight/right click style? [01:53] koro: the same thing you used to install it can be used to uninstall it [01:53] Also, I installed Heron, and now when I play a video file my screen blanks to either black or green and freezes the whole computer down to kernel level. Only way to restart is RSEIUB. [01:53] koro: Personally, I'd reinstall Ubuntu just to make sure it hasn't left any crud behind (since there's presumably nothing important on the machine yet) [01:53] RyanPrior, the open driver worked correctly with compositing in 7.10 [01:53] <[DS]DragonSlayer>: the installer does feature a functional partition editor, but you would probably be better off using GParted for ease of use. [01:54] LainIwakura: as a short explaination from a book I have. the 1st character is the file type indicator, the next 3 are for the user, next 3 are for the group and the last 3 are "other" [01:54] also i am using ATI, not mesa [01:54] Shpoo1, If RSEIUB works then it hasn't frozen 'to the kernel level' :) [01:54] simtower: glxinfo says you're using mesa. [01:54] Wyzard: i didn't just install ubuntu, i have been using this box for quite a while now and i just updated to 8.04, but i have lots of stuff configured and installed and re-installing ubuntu is not an option i consider feasible [01:54] ok [01:54] simtower: what video card is it? ATI? Intel? NVidia? Intel and some ATI have compositing in the Free drivers, but no NVidia. Only the proprietary ones work for any acceleration. OpenGL and AIGLX. [01:54] Scunizi: ok thanks [01:54] then use nVidia's uninstall script [01:54] LainIwakura: np [01:54] Jordan_U: Oh. :-) I was told once that meant it was frozen at kernel level. Thank you! :-D [01:54] <[DS]DragonSlayer> too late i chose GUIDED [01:54] cellofellow, it is FireGL 9000 and full accelleration is supported by the open drivers [01:55] and it worked fine in 7.10 [01:55] <[DS]DragonSlayer> hopefully it doesn't take all of my 54 gb of freed space [01:55] simtower: including AIGLX? [01:55] someone has changed the xorg autoconfiguration for 8.04 and it doesnt seem to configure properly anymore [01:55] <[DS]DragonSlayer>: it won't format your drive unless you tell it to. [01:55] is there any program out there that will let me convert 120 images into a movie slideshow with some images lasting longer than others, etc. (pretty much windows movie maker) [01:55] what can you use to make ubuntu look like OS X? [01:56] Shpoo1, No, those are kernel commands ( each letter in the sequence is a different command directly to the kernel ), often you can just do alt+sysrq+K to kill X, what GFX card do you have? [01:56] Col: search for Mac4Lin [01:56] Col yes [01:56] Col: avant-window-navigator. [01:56] ok thanks [01:56] Jordan_U: Intel 945 :-( [01:56] I have bcm4318, and i just upgraded to hardy, and i tried to enable the b43 restricted drivers, but it just keeps asking me to restart and never works [01:56] <[DS]DragonSlayer>:if you chose GUIDED - use entire disk, i would say you're in some hot water. [01:56] Col: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/ [01:56] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i chose use freed space [01:56] What is the recommended software to burn the ubuntu iso to a dvd? [01:56] <[DS]DragonSlayer> will it allow me later to choose how much of freed space? [01:56] L: brasero [01:56] I burned it but, got an odd error. [01:56] L: imgburn [01:57] L, in Ubuntu or in windows? [01:57] L: What OS? [01:57] When I boot from the cd, it works, but I'm leery about installing if i got an error. [01:57] I have bcm4318, and i just upgraded to hardy, and i tried to enable the b43 restricted drivers, but it just keeps asking me to restart and never works [01:57] Vista, and I used imgburn. [01:57] L, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto [01:57] I have a toshiba portege 3500 that is stuck in a text mode install at 'configure the network' [01:57] koro, when you get it all fixed, look up putting your /home on a separate partition and you wont have to worry about doing a fresh install :-)) or look at http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=65 [01:57] I have bcm4318, and i just upgraded to hardy, and i tried to enable the b43 restricted drivers, but it just keeps asking me to restart and never works [01:57] L: the best FOSS burner for Vista IMO is Infra Recorder. [01:57] BrianLy: There should be an option to configure network later. [01:57] is mac4lin the only thing i need to make it look like this http://youtube.com/watch?v=C0N14ax1iKc? [01:57] SeaPhor: i'm all ok with that, but i don't want to re-install all my software [01:58] <[DS]DragonSlayer> resizing partition sure takes a long time [01:58] <[DS]DragonSlayer>: when i installed, i was extra careful and used Gparted to create the two partitions beforehand. [01:58] i have compiled programs and stuff, etc [01:58] !repeat > ihavenoidea [01:58] how do you get apt/dpkg to show the files for an installed package [01:58] Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have an irclogs folder which an irc client writes to. Now what group does this irc cilent belong to? The group under which I ran the program? That is, normally "user"? If that's the case, the minimal permissions for that folder would be u+w for the irc client to write to that folder? [01:58] never mind [01:58] i hate reinstalling the whole OS... even in my windows box i never reinstalled :) [01:58] Col: Yup! [01:58] It keeps dropping me back to the network screen when I choose from next install steps [01:58] in 4 years :P [01:58] thanks Ryan [01:58] <[DS]DragonSlayer> Gparted? Where can i get that? [01:58] google it [01:58] koro no backups? [01:58] <[DS]DragonSlayer>: it's built in on the Ubuntu liveCD [01:59] Col: Mac4Lin is a huge bunch of tweaks and hacks though, so it's not easy. [01:59] <[DS]DragonSlayer> the partition editor? [01:59] Col I use cairo dock to get my osx look [01:59] hazmat, dpkg -l [01:59] Col: there's no "easy Mac4Lin installer" or anything. [01:59] Jack_Sparrow: yes, but if i reinstall then making installed programs work properly without actually installing them is a mess [01:59] <[DS]DragonSlayer> right now my computer is resizing the partition [01:59] How do I send a console message to an X terminal? [01:59] especially if you compiled them from the source [01:59] <[DS]DragonSlayer> it's been at 0% for a while now [01:59] Can anyone offer some insight into why 8.04 doesn't do font hinting as cleanly as 7.10 and earlier versions did? [01:59] koro, with seperate home, all settings are saved, i play COH which thakes 8-10 hours to download the latest image and ican fresh install and be playing 20 min later [01:59] BrianLy: At the first network config screen, before you try to detect a network, there should be an option to skip or configure later, something like that. For some reason if you're at the list of install steps, it just brings you back. [01:59] RyanPrior is there an easy way to make Ubuntu look like OS X? [01:59] <[DS]DragonSlayer> can i just pull the plug on it? [01:59] some of them don't work easily with checkinstall [01:59] does anyone know why i would have to log-in twice everytime i turn my laptop on? [01:59] Col: www.gnome-look.org [01:59] koro no backupa made of your full os? [02:00] my laptop was cold and fresh but since I ran powertop and accepted the "tip" of making the USB devices autosuspend my laptop is a lot hotter and my battery barely last, further investigations lead me to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powertop/+bug/136549 so, how do I correct it? perhaps I'm wrong thinking that that's the problem but this laptop is definetly hotter [02:00] Col: All the OSX themes you could ever wish for. [02:00] Col: use DreamLinux maybe? That's the easy way. And yes, Gnome-look.org has some good resources. [02:00] so, how do I solve it? [02:00] SeaPhor: i'm not talking about settings, i'm talking about software [02:00] hey guys, quick question, if I want encryption on hardy heron, will that be in the main desktop CD or on the alternate install CD like 7.10? [02:00] <[DS]DragonSlayer>: System>Administration>Partition Editor is Gparted, but if you're already resizing your partitions through the installer, let it finish first. [02:00] Jack_Sparrow: oh... no :/ [02:00] Col: the easy way would be to buy a Mac. The hard way is to do the various Mac4Lin tweaks, which includes things like Gnome themes from gnome-look. [02:00] so use gnome-look to get themes? [02:00] Col: yes. [02:00] Shpoo1: It's in some sort of cycle, it's not on a network now I wonder if it connect it will it fake it out and let me continue [02:00] ? [02:00] Im saving for a mac right now : ) [02:00] Col: gnome-look.org is a damn good spot [02:00] Col: a theme from gnome-look is only one part of skinning Ubuntu to look like a Mac. [02:01] how do i change the font color of desktop icons? [02:01] Col: there's even ones that put the program menu in the panel. [02:01] the dock? [02:01] Col: that's avant-window-navigator [02:01] ok [02:01] youtube on ubuntu doesnt display right === JapyDooge is now known as Japy|zZz [02:01] does anyone have any fixes [02:02] Agilo: did you install flash? [02:02] im not sure [02:02] how to [02:02] BrianLy: I went through the exact same thing, because I have to use windows drivers for my network interface. And I remember going through that loop, where it seems like it doesn't give you a choice. But I swore at the original screen was where I was able to skip it. I'd say try connect it real quick and see if it continues. [02:02] sudo apt-get flash? [02:02] [DS]DragonSlayer: Applications > Add/Remove > gparted search [02:02] Agilo: you'll want the plugin for your browser. [02:02] Does anyone know how to send a console message to an X session? like wall except delivered to X [02:02] can someone help me enable desktop effects like it was in 7.10? I get an error when enabling it in 8.04. apparently xorg is not using the ati driver despite being configure that way. how to fix? [02:02] aglio: are you using firefox? [02:03] shpoo1: thanks back in a bit [02:03] sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree ? [02:03] Soooooo.... whos the ubuntu-offtopic ops? [02:03] BrianLy: No prob, let me know if it works. Oh, you won't have to stay connected for the whole install. [02:03] xtfusion whats the prob... go to #Ubuntu-ops [02:03] hey, i had everything working perfectly just a minute ago - now my resolution is super low and the screen resolution app wont go above 640-480 [02:04] Agilo [02:04] ryanakca, interesting , it seems that if I have both gstreamer and xine install , I donT' get the blue line in xine anymore [02:04] okay [02:04] yes define [02:04] sorry [02:04] i'm using hardy heron and i have an ati mobility radeon x1400, the driver was working perfectly just a minute ago [02:04] Agilo:uhmm...give me a moment here. [02:04] k [02:04] amirman84, and what is going on now ? [02:05] Agilo: you're on Firefox, right? [02:05] yes [02:05] how do I enable autosuspend for the USB ports? (i disabled them because of powertop's wrong suggestion https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powertop/+bug/136549 ) [02:05] agilo: if you are using firefox there should be a download popup or button that you can select and it will install flash for you [02:05] i'm able to use everything except some of the more advanced compiz-fusion effects, i still have wobbly windows but no desktop cube [02:05] does xmms2 work like xmms in hardy? [02:05] amirman84, What did you do between the time it was working and now? [02:05] Do you think the hardy heron update fixed any video issues with s3 savage card (ibm t23) === Bllasae is now known as Kewi_ [02:05] amirman84: have you installed it using the synaptic package manager [02:05] I don't have 3d vid [02:05] bigtimer [02:05] amirman84, try asking in #compiz then, maybe your card is not strong enough to do it all, I know mine isnT' [02:05] Agilo: when you tried to watch your video, did you get the plugin pop-up thingy under your address bar? [02:05] How can I use upstart to control things like apache? Right now I'm using invoke-rc.d but upstart seems like the direction Ubuntu is moving in. === Kewi_ is now known as Kewi_Llbamee [02:06] agilo: ya [02:06] the video works [02:06] pelo: it was doing it all a minute ago [02:06] but the bottom play stop... [02:06] buttons [02:06] foxhop: I don't know what video card is in a T23, but I used to have a T20 which had a savage, and it did not support 3D [02:06] dont display correctly [02:06] can someone help me enable desktop effects like it was in 7.10? I get an error when enabling it in 8.04. apparently xorg is not using the ati driver despite being configure that way. how to fix? === Kewi_Llbamee is now known as Bllasae [02:06] and the video is sub par [02:06] amirman84, and what were you doing when it stopped ? [02:06] compared to windows [02:06] Wyzard: Thanks, its super savage s3 [02:06] the last thing i did was install gdektopsidget thing and onscreen keyboard and then uninstalled them [02:06] Agilo: Then i don't know. are you sure you installed it properly, and are your settings not allow it to display right [02:07] I need help. I keep typing "sudo chmod 777 " to change the permissions of a directory, but it only changes the top level, not the files inside. How do I get rwx permissions for ALL the stuff in there? [02:07] Agilo: I believe the restricted-extras package has the plugin also. That's what did it for me. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras. Substitute ubuntu for (k)ubuntu or (ed)buntu depending on what you have. [02:07] When K3b gives the error "Cdrecord has no permission to open the device" what's it mean [02:07] but that didnt appear to mess anything up - i logged out and logged back in and now its like this [02:07] simtower, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , and restart X , see if that helps [02:07] ill try that shpool [02:07] it doesnt Pelo [02:07] it uses MESA driver [02:07] i tried removing and reinstalling the driver through the 'hardware drivers' thing [02:07] is there any program out there that will let me convert 120 images into a movie slideshow with some images lasting longer than others, etc. (pretty much windows movie maker) [02:07] which is not correct [02:07] amirman84, did you try restarting the computer ? [02:07] Explo: google unix chg mod cmds [02:07] Agilo: It's a pretty big install though. ~350mb [02:07] amirman: go to System/Preferences. is there a option for advanced desktop effects settings? [02:07] pelo: i've restarted a few times [02:08] bigtimer121: yeah i have that [02:08] explo: or run "man chmod" [02:08] shpool: its good and going [02:08] already 15% [02:08] simtower, open the xorg.conf file and replace the line Driver vesa with Driver nvidia [02:08] go in there and there is a option for the cube [02:08] foxhop: OK, that's apparently a pretty early 3D accelerator [02:08] simtower, if that doesn't work try with nv [02:08] pelo there is no driver vesa line [02:08] spork969, Look into stopmotion [02:08] How do I load ndiswrapper at startup? Someone told me once, and I haven't been able to find the same method. [02:08] also its an ati card so uh [02:08] i'm having a ridiculous time getting my microphone to work. the rest of the sound seems to work fine. I've combed the forums but they are all for people who have no sound. Anyone know of microphone specific solutions? [02:08] Wyzard: Yeah, not sure [02:08] are you guys paid to do this here [02:08] amirman84, simtower mesa then ? [02:08] Agilo: no [02:09] amirman84: it is under desktop in advanced desktop effects settings [02:09] there is no driver line [02:09] foxhop: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/S3_SuperSavage_IX/C says glxgears should work but other things may lock X [02:09] Agilo: Nope, we do it for pleasure and experience. [02:09] <[DS]DragonSlayer> hobby? [02:09] <[DS]DragonSlayer> oic [02:09] very nice of you [02:09] amirman84, try asking in #compiz maybe they are familiar with the issue [02:09] Agilo: That allows will enable support for mp3 and wma playback, wmv playback, windows fonts, java, and other things. [02:09] how can I find out which files a package installs and where? [02:09] so i just follow the instructions [02:09] (or where does the kernel headers .deb put the headers) [02:09] hypercool^: run alsamixer in a terminal and check the mic isnt muted or anything? [02:09] MidgetSpy, in synaptic yuou can check in the package properties [02:09] Agilo: Yeah. [02:10] Pelo: no X installed [02:10] what is the name of the advanced desktop settings manager? it wasnt installed for some reason when i upgraded to hardy [02:10] amirman84, Can you pastebin the output of "ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf*" ? [02:10] Agilo: If you spend a few hours a week helping other people through their problems, you'll be better equipped when you run into problems yourself in the future. :-) [02:10] amirman84: did you find it? === Shpoo1 is now known as Shpooked [02:10] MidgetSpy, I thnk you can do a dpkg -l package name, but I am not usre, man dpkg for sure [02:10] FUCK YOU K3B. [02:10] right Ryan [02:10] [02:10] Invisionfree: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:10] Hi. With 8.04, Firefox and Flash consume 100% of one of my cores on an AMD 5600+ running at full speed (2.8 Ghz per core). Is this common? [02:10] !language [02:10] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:10] Where does AppArmor log to? [02:10] Invisionfree, brassero now in hardy [02:11] digbert: yes, Flash tends to do that [02:11] digbert: Unfortunately, Flash can do some funny things on Ubuntu. [02:11] Pelo, what the hell does this mean? "Cdrecord has no permission to open the device" when I try and burn [02:11] In 7.10 on the very same computer, this was not the case. [02:11] digbert: Nothing we can do to fix it, since it's a proprietary blob. [02:11] Invisionfree Please tone it down [02:11] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i notice when i watch h246 mkv file on my ubuntu, it's a bit laggier than when i'm on windows [02:11] digbert, on 8.04 in firefox with flash, it consumes 90% of my single core celeron D 2.4mhz , I donT' think it matters how fast the cpu is [02:11] Perhaps, but the Firefox version included with 8.04 is different than the one included in 7.10. [02:12] shpool: doesn't solve it [02:12] Hi. I'm using ubuntu hardy x86-64, and I installed qemulator from the repository. When I try to start my VM in qemulator, it times out. Can anyone help? Thanks. [02:12] amirman84: did it work? [02:12] shpool: same prob [02:12] another symptom [02:12] Pelo, what the hell does this mean? "Cdrecord has no permission to open the device" when I try and burn [02:12] is that the thumbnails [02:12] bigtimer121: i enabled it and then i couldn't type in pidgin [02:12] Invisionfree depending on the version of k3b there was a menu option to set permissions to allow you to burn cd's [02:12] Pelo: That's interesting. What do you think causes that? [02:12] on the opening page of youtube [02:12] shpoo1: got it working thanks! I think this portege's hardware is a bit flakey but will know more once the broken windows install is replaced with ubuntu [02:12] are not shown [02:12] how do i *undo* this? svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes [02:12] and when i tried disabling it the window kept moving [02:12] Jack_Sparrow: If I run it as root would it work? [02:12] the ones that constantly update [02:12] amirman84: ?, does cube work for you? [02:12] BrianLy: Good! Hope you enjoy it. :-D [02:12] Invisionfree yes. and again, please tone down the language [02:12] anyone know the name of the desktop settings manager for compiz/beryl (you know - all the cool functions like Cube, etc). The manager doesnt seem to be installed [02:12] Invisionfree, check your user's permission in system > admin > users , see if you have permission to record on the drive [02:12] no, but it let me check it [02:13] Agilo: What video card do you have?? [02:13] bigtimer121: no but it still checked [02:13] digbert, personnaly I think flash sucks [02:13] shpooked: nvidia [02:13] amirman84: do you know how to do it? [02:13] <[DS]DragonSlayer> will Ubuntu have options for my laptop to lower the brightness/CPU power on laptop LCD? [02:13] is there a channel to discuss The GiMP ?

[02:19] Invisionfree, live cd will always be slower then an installed version, it uses a portion of the ram as a virtual hdd [02:19] Carutsu: since "ahci" is your SATA controller, and "ipw3945" is your wireless, those are probably causing the majority of the interrupts [02:19] <[DS]DragonSlayer>: i think i'm still here for another 30 minutes or so with nothing better to do. [02:19] Col, You can always reflash it [02:20] Agilo: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree. the sudo apt-get install the same package. [02:20] cannot find lgpg-error what package is that of?

[02:20] amirman84: go to synaptic package manager: then search for "compiz" and see if it is installed [02:20] Jack_Sparrow: i installed it. no man pages, how do i even run it? [02:20] Shpooked: Put it in /etc/modules [02:20] Shpooked, put it in sessions in the prefs menu [02:20] Alright, I'm going to do a complete erase of this CD, then I'm moving to whatchamacallit. [02:20] Wyzard: oh, hm, well, this is weird, my laptop is way hotter than it used to be, all i changed was accepting PowerTop's suggestion to make autosuspend=1 [02:21] later [02:21] defineKthyne: I think its installing now [02:21] I did shpooked's way [02:21] Shpooked: You're talking about loading the ndiswrapper kernel module, right? [02:21] bigtimer121: i remember when i was using windows my graphics worked on a less powerful setting when i unplugged, i think logging in with it unplugged caused some disturbance in the force [02:21] Agilo: alrighty then. [02:21] amirman84: type this with out the qoutes "/join #bigtimer121 [02:21] <[DS]DragonSlayer> when i partition, do i make 1 for ext2 or ext3? [02:21] Pelo, my secondary has admin priv. I'll try from the live cd. Thanks. [02:21] Wyzard: Correct. I would just add "modprobe ndiswrapper" to modules, right? [02:21] For all those interested, http://www.iphonelinux.org === edward_ is now known as Nihilist_Nerd [02:22] Shpooked: no "modprobe", just the name of the module [02:22] decay read the beginning of the script with a text editor... sudo bash name.sh [02:22] i'm installing ubuntu-restricted-extras but fpdownload.macromedia.com|96.7.82.70|:80 is timing out. is this a common issue ? clearly my internet is working.

I'm using ubuntu gutsy [02:22] Wyzard: So just plain old ndiswrapper? [02:22] Invisionfree no opinion.. [02:22] Shpooked: yep [02:22] how can i make it so that network drive on my network dont mount and appear on my desktop when tryin to browse files on my network? [02:22] Agilo: Any better by chance? [02:22] <[DS]DragonSlayer>: i used ext3 for mine, and about 1.5 gigs for swap space. [02:22] Jack_Sparrow: Why not? [02:22] Wyzard: Thanks, now I can finally have wireless when I boot up. :-D [02:22] Shpooked: it installed [02:23] but at the end [02:23] it said [02:23] the Flash plugin is NOT installed [02:23] and NOT in capital letters [02:23] Invisionfree We dont do polls in here.. plus.. I have not used it [02:23] <[DS]DragonSlayer> tell me if this is ok: 12 gb for ext3, 3 gb for swap [02:23] like after going through the whole process [02:23] Jordan_U, cool it looks great. one problem though, it doesnt work... i hit import frames and imported them all, but nothing happens when i hit play... [02:23] Agilo, did it give a reason? [02:23] !enter > Agilo [02:23] hey all, I'm trying to compile the driver for my RAID card and I'm getting a whole bunch of errors like: "Scsi_Cmnd" has no member named "use_sg" (different members each time) - the make fails. Assuming the driver code isn't broken (which is possible I suppose), is there anything I could try to do to troubleshoot it? this is on a fresh 8.04 install [02:23] Carutsu: powertop's changes aren't permanent, so you could reboot and see if your system goes back to normal [02:23] Hello everyone [02:23] Shpooked: oh i c, I think it just downloaded it [02:23] hey [02:24] I have to install it now [02:24] Carutsu: or just unload and reload your USB drivers [02:24] anyone around who can help me with a xserver question [02:24] <[DS]DragonSlayer>: that will do nicely. [02:24] <[DS]DragonSlayer> k thx [02:24] Wyzard: how do I do that? [02:24] it said Download done [02:24] what do you use on gnome to connect in dial connections ? [02:24] Download done. [02:24] md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [02:24] The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [02:24] Carutsu: rmmod uhci-hcd; rmmod ehci [02:24] Carutsu: then load them again with modprobe [02:24] just to clarify, the swap partition is like the Pagefile in Windows, right? [02:25] anyone have any ideas on why cube wouldnt work for some reasons even though it is selected in visual effects and apperance has custom selected [02:25] DefineKThyne: basically, yes [02:25] DefineKThyne: except it's a partition rather than a file [02:25] Agilo: looks like the flash plugin download is still broken. let me see if I have the fix in my bookmarks. [02:25] wyzard: whats the max size of the partition you can use for swap? [02:25] Wyzard: and so it's not embedded in the system partition so it doesn't hog disk space? [02:26] <[DS]DragonSlayer> nother question, should i make it primary partition or extended partition for the ext3 & swap [02:26] Is there anyone here familiar with WUBI? I'm wondering if after Ubuntu is installed, it's possible to increase the HD space allocated to it [02:26] how can i fix grub error 18? [02:26] DefineKThyne: Well, it takes away from your available disk space anyway... the use of a partition is mainly for efficiency [02:26] DefineKThyne: (though it's possible to use swapfiles too) [02:26] still getting about one lockup per day. 3 distros in a row now that ubuntu locks up but others don't. making it hard for me not to completely change to arch :( [02:26] skrag: no idea, but it's probably pretty big [02:26] Um, can anyone help me with setting up a partition in vista? [02:27] Jack_Sparrow, hey wanted to thank you for all your help, i've gone back to 7.10, and now i'm gonna try upgrade rather than the fresh install i did earlier, Thanks again and i've taken all notes so i wont have the same issues! [02:27] <[DS]DragonSlayer> should i make it primary partition or extended partition for the ext3 & swap [02:27] Agilo: Try following these directions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 === ben__ is now known as benzss [02:27] ty wyzard [02:27] Wyzard: one thing i rather disliked about Windows was that the Pagefile and Hibernation files were stored right on your primary letter drive. [02:27] L #windows [02:27] SeaPhor As always glad to help where I can [02:27] has anyone gotten gnome-phone-manager to work with ubuntu connecting phone through usb?? or any other phone program [02:27] DefineKThyne: You can put them on a different drive if you want to, I believe [02:27] Hi, I'm trying to get Hardy using Wubi 8.04, but right now it says 0 bytes (0%) of 848 bytes @ 0 bytes/s. It doesn't appear to connect to cdimages.ubuntu.com [02:28] dodimar, do you have a boot partition? [02:28] I am having a small problem... I just installed 8.04 using wubi and everything appeared to go fine, except i cant figure out how to 'use' the nividia graphics driver. In the restricted drivers thing, it says the driver is loaded, but it isnt in use. When i go to enable compiz fusion via the appearance tool, it just tells methat it couldnt be loaded. How can i get this to all work?, [02:28] DefineKThyne: That was supposedly for performance reasons. [02:28] dodimar, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18 [02:28] has shared folders been removed in hardy? [02:28] <[DS]DragonSlayer>:mine is a primary partition. [02:28] wait dammit I fixed it by asking you >_>now it's going at 99 KiB/s [02:28] how do I save alsamixer settings? [02:28] it's not saving [02:28] joshhunt: Does the driver show up as "nvidia_new" in that window, or does it say "nVidia driver (for latest cards)" or something to that effect? [02:28] joshhunt: did you enable the driver [02:28] <[DS]DragonSlayer> thank you definekthyne [02:28] Wyzard: i think that worked... hm, perhaps, at least it feels so [02:28] Shpooked: I realized that it is using some program called gnash to display youtube [02:28] Wyzard: nvidia new [02:29] Netgear WPN111, how is it possible to set up without wired internet access? [02:29] ckin2001: yes... [02:29] Agilo: gnash is horrible. I would remove it. [02:29] joshhunt: You're running into a bug: sometimes the 8.04 installer doesn't download package lists, which leaves apt not knowing about any packages, which makes the drivers window misbehave [02:29] joshhunt: Close that window, run "sudo apt-get update" from a terminal, then open the drivers window again [02:29] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64789/ <--- horinzontal scrolling not implemented [02:30] Oh wait, i just had another look at the drivers panel, and the new driver was there :) [02:30] Thanks guys [02:30] <[DS]DragonSlayer>: no problem. [02:30] Shpooked: ill remove it as soon as this flash is set up, Ill follow this site you provided for now [02:30] joshhunt: make sure you have nvidia-glx-new installed [02:30] Is there anyone here familiar with WUBI? I'm wondering if after Ubuntu is installed, it's possible to increase the HD space allocated to it [02:30] msg saross0219 I see you're on xmission.com. You from Utah? [02:30] what do you use on gnome to connect in dial connections ? [02:30] has anyone gotten gnome-phone-manager or gnokii to work on their computers [02:30] whitty: The root of the problem is apt not knowing the nvidia-glx-new package even exists [02:30] Agilo: Remove gnash first if you can. I think it can still override the flash plugin. [02:30] Wyzard: if i unload the usb drivers will i stop all the interrupts? i don't use a lot of USB devices I'd love to save as much power as i can :P [02:30] xjkx, pppd. you may be able to control it with network manager, never tried [02:30] Carutsu: Not if the interrupts are actually coming from your SATA and/or wireless devices [02:30] I installed Ubuntu with WUBI and allocated it 30 gigs, but now I'm trying to allocate it more retroactively, if possible [02:31] Grub erro 18, i'm getting pretty upset right now when all of the chatrooms i go to don't give me an answer and the forums is no help... [02:31] wisedude see the wubi faq site [02:31] Hmmm... are the repos *still* incredibly slow? [02:31] Hello I just upgraded to hardy and now I dont have all of my shared network folders.

[02:32] wisedude, Yes, there is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [02:32] dodimar: i think error 18 means the partition can't be found, but i'm not too sure. [02:32] Hey everyone [02:32] * Wyzard doesn't like the fact that pressing the power button in Ubuntu just opens the logout window rather than actually initiating a shutdown [02:32] Thanks Jordan - I found know mention of it on the FAQ [02:32] where do i change system time zone etc so i dont have to do it for every new program [02:32] my power went out last night while I was upgrading to hardy. I'm not sure how far it got, I have some trouble [02:32] Wyzard: That can be changed. [02:32] anyone in the mood for a challenge? [02:32] Shpooked: how? [02:33] ckin2001, it's not a gnome app [02:33] Does anyone know how to get shared folders back in hardy?!?!? [02:33] schmol yes [02:33] specifically having to do with differences between gutsy and hardy [02:33] shcmol no [02:33] trivia or problem? [02:33] DefineKThyne: it is working fine before.. i fresh install ubuntu.. and now it is not working... [02:33] lol [02:33] Wyzard: Preferences/Power Management. Then the General tab.

[02:33] Wyzard: fortunately i disabled bluetooth devices in the bios :P [02:34] first problem was none of my filesystems would mount. I changed the entries in /etc to use /dev instead of UUIDs, does that cause a problem? [02:34] oddalot: here's the lowdown: I'm on a laptop with Radeon 9600 chipset, and once I updated from from 7.10 to 8.04, all of the 3d accelleration disappeared [02:34] my second problem is I can't log in, but I think fixing the state of my packages will solve that (I hope) [02:34] can I downgrade back to gutsy? [02:34] schmol sounds like you host hosed [02:34] xorg.conf is still properly configured, and so is the driver, or so it seems [02:34] ouellettesr, i dont think so :-( [02:34] host hosed? [02:34] ouellettesr: if you find a way let me know :OD [02:35] ouellettesr, you have to reinstall.. [02:35] schmol does system->admin->hardwaredrivers say enabled and in use? [02:35] crap i need my shared folders, and i dont see that option in hardy [02:35] SeaPhor: thanks [02:35] nope, not enabled, not in use [02:35] my third problem is that when I run apt-get dist-upgrade it says there are 12 packages are partially installed. Hald seems to be blocking the rest. There's some kind of failure when it tries to run the configuration [02:35] Oh, I have one more question: Whenever I play a video that's on my hdd, my screen blanks and freezes the computer. Has anyone had this problem, and know how to fix it? This is only since the Hardy upgrade. [02:35] so, can anyone help me? [02:35] schmo1: Can you please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please? [02:35] please :)? [02:36] Col, Granted, i didn't know then what i know now so its not impossible [02:36] schmol you should try to enable them [02:36] Shpooked: while its downloading I have another question. When I am typing, my mouse sometimes clicks on its own. Ever heard of this problem? [02:36] may i speak Chinese? [02:36] schmol make sure your repositores work too [02:36] anyone know how to reconfigure the video drivers in kde4.. reconfigure xserver-xorg is just doing the keyboard [02:36] mdgeorge: First, I would try to back up the system at this point. Then run "apt-get -f install". [02:36] Agilo: Not to insult you, but are you on a laptop?

[02:37] Agilo: My thumbs used to tap the touchpad when typing and do the same thing. You can turn off tap to click in mouse preferences. :-) [02:37] ouellettesr, RIght here :) [02:37] cky: I know this is a dumb question and I should just do the backup, but if all I care about is on my home partition, is it necessary? [02:37] dodimar: i encountered mine when i removed my linux from my computer at work, i don't know much about grub and i'm having some issues with it myself. [02:37] schmol it sounds like you know how to get the direct 3d rendering, so why don't you just do that? [02:38] <[DS]DragonSlayer> hey Shpooked, are u able to save battery on ur laptop when ur on ubuntu? [02:38] ouellettesr, this is it [02:38] mdgeorge: Not strictly, but in the partitioning menu, make sure to "keep" the home partition. [02:38] Jordan_U, where did the shared folders menu go that was under the system tab? === ubuntu is now known as ubuntuGuest2008 [02:38] Shpooked: alright thanks man [02:38] ubotu, how are you doing? [02:38] Anyone know how to get a USB Mic/Ventrilo working properly? [02:38] maybe my problem is not really important... well if I can't boot to ubuntu. there is no more reason on using it... after this day, if I won't be able to make it run, it's a goodbye. i need my system ASAP, tnx DefineKThyne for the response i hope you would be able to fix it... [02:39] anyone know how to reconfigure the video drivers in kde4.. reconfigure xserver-xorg is just doing the keyboard [02:39] well maybe I'll give that a shot, we'll see what happens - gimme a minute [02:39] [DS]DragonSlayer: I haven't actually tried, but I get about 2 hours without using wireless, about 1.25 hours with wireless, and about 45 minutes watching a movie. I've been planning on looking into ways to preserve battery. [02:39] dodimar: have you tried another bootloader? [02:39] cky: I'll give that a try [02:39] question -- what would be a good dvd-rw drive to buy that will work in ubuntu 8.04 [02:39] mdgeorge: Good luck! [02:39] Shpooked: I restarted firefox, and it works now with the new download. thank you so much. [02:39] i am using the beta of hardy, should i upgrade? [02:40] Agilo: If it's not that though, then I have no clue. [02:40] k [02:40] Agilo: No problem. I'm glad you got it working. Enjoy :-D [02:40] fire_medic_312: Yes [02:40] Does Brasero not run under KDE? [02:40] crabsperof, try asking in #kubuntu [02:40] thanks, monkeybritches can I do that through apt-get dist upgrade? [02:41] anyone know why the live cd partitioner wouldnt show the partitions i have in windows? yet fdisk -l will ....also i can mount the win partitions too no problem ? [02:41] And now, I am off to work on my website. Goodnight everyone......have fun. :-) [02:41] When i try to browse my local network, every time i click on a share it pops up asking for a password even tho i dont have a password setup on that drive. Also even when i try to browse shared folders on my local PC it asks for username and password. then auto mounts it and puts a icon on my desktop. Any way to make it so that it will browse more like windows? it worked that way in 7.10. Running 8.04 now. [02:41] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i wonder if it can control my LCD brightness [02:41] cky: that's odd, now hald seems to be installing without trouble. [02:41] Invisionfree, I don't see why it wouldn't though many people try to use applications that look the same ( KDE apps tend to look out of place in Gnome and visa-versa ) [02:41] [DS]DragonSlayer: It's supposed to, and says it does, but for me has no effect on the brightness. [02:41] dabbill, I cant even find out how to share a folder on the network after upgrading to hardy [02:41] mdgeorge: By using "apt-get -f install", or something else? [02:41] Yes [02:42] cky: yes [02:42] [DS]DragonSlayer: my laptop stays at full brightness on both battery and ac power [02:42] ouellettesr, you mean make a windows share ? [02:42] cky: apt-get -f install [02:42] ouellettesr, just right click and share for me [02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> oo [02:42] [DS]DragonSlayer, Are you booted into Ubuntu right now? [02:42] apt-get dist-upgrade [02:42] mdgeorge: Good. :-) [02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> yep [02:42] osiris, yes [02:42] does anyone run gnokii?? [02:42] it did the same thing as without the -f, except it seems to have worked [02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i'm installing ubuntu on laptop right now [02:42] i had that bug [02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> 60% done [02:42] [DS]DragonSlayer: I bet I could get 3 hours no wireless or multimedia if I could cut down to 50% brightness [02:42] [DS]DragonSlayer, Do you have a brightness control key on your keyboard ? [02:42] who was it asking for a ubuntu web editor earlier? [02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> yep [02:42] ok ive come to the conclusion that my wireless card isnt enabled [02:42] does someone know y the video quality on my laptop is so bad ? videos constantly flicker [02:42] mdgeorge: Yes, that command is supposed to try to be intelligent in detecting and fixing package dependency problems. [02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i cliked it [02:42] <[DS]DragonSlayer> didn't work [02:42] can anyone help me enable it [02:43] how do i install microsoft media player?? [02:43] pwcca: What wireless card? [02:43] install windows [02:43] What would be a dvd-rw that would work to burn DVD' [02:43] retry [02:43] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i wonder if it requires any program [02:43] (Okay, I WAS gonna leave) [02:43] intel pro/wireless 2200bg [02:43] ouellettesr, try to make a share, let it install the package it needs, then reboot [02:43] cky: I'm just confused because (at least as far as what it tells me) it did the same things in the same order. I'm not complaining though :) [02:43] When i try to browse my local network, every time i click on a share it pops up asking for a password even tho i dont have a password setup on that drive. Also even when i try to browse shared folders on my local PC it asks for username and password. then auto mounts it and puts a icon on my desktop. Any way to make it so that it will browse more like windows? it worked that way in 7.10. Running 8.04 now. [02:43] What would be a good dvd-rw drive that would burn DVD's in Ubuntu 8.04 or 7.10? [02:44] [DS]DragonSlayer, It works out of the box for me [02:44] Why would you want to install WMP? [02:44] cky: so that seems to have worked. Is there anything else I need to do to finish the upgrade? [02:44] osiris, I have to reboot?!? [02:44] lol [02:44] I've been trying to escape it... [02:44] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i'll see if the brightness can be controlled once i finish installing 30% to go [02:45] pwcca: I don't have time to do the searching, but search for using ndiswrapper for your card. [02:45] [DS]DragonSlayer, The installed system and the Live system should be pretty much identical, unfortunately in your case [02:45] pwcca: it seems most intel wireless have to use ndiswrapper and the windows drivers.

[02:46] a logout is supposed to suffice [02:46] anyone know what happened to the ubuntu repo's? Seems they all went offline a week ago and haven't come back up.

[02:48] monkeybritches, its automounting network folders and i dont want it to.. i want to just browse it like you do on windows? I use to be able to do that on linux in 7,10, but cant seem to do it on hardy [02:49] can anyone help me please, when i was using gutsy my two hdd are windows and hdb5,and after upgrading to hardy the two hdd shows as 30.5 GB Media and the second the samething,how can i reback the two hdd windows and hdb5, thanx [02:49] Dr_willis: I can understand that. but the problem is that while the repo folder still exists on the servers, they are empty. I was hoping someone knew why [02:49] I have 5 drives, 4 are part of a RAID 0+1, the other drive (non raid) I did a wubi install. Looked like it installed find, but need to change the boot partion [02:49] where do i find source packages? can i install them with apt?

[02:50] windowshasyou, could be that server got crashed/died/shutdown, or some other issue. try another server. [02:50] Is this Ubuntu help? [02:50] Yuji1: yup. [02:50] !hi | Yuji1 [02:50] Yuji1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:51] can someone help me find out what port my phone is on as far as usb /dev/ ?? tty something [02:51] howdy Yuji1 [02:51] Good. I recently got the CD (mail) and like, I tried installing it... ata2.0 SAct SErr msg [02:51] Oh, I see [02:51] Dr_willis: I have. Matter of fact, I went through the getdeb repo mirror list and not one of them have anything in them. [02:51] What does it open in? [02:51] monkeybritches? ??? [02:52] Dr_willis: its not that big a deal though, I'll just get the sources for the stuff I want to update. But I was curious as to what is going on. [02:52] I can use the 7 one, the one I burnt. But not this one (7) from Ubuntu/canonical. [02:52] is there someone in here who is pretty confident in their GRUB skills? [02:52] Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have an irclogs folder which an irc client writes to. Now what group does this irc cilent belong to? The group under which I ran the program? That is, normally "user"? If that's the case, the minimal permissions for that folder would be u+w for the irc client to write to that folder? === Orbixx2 is now known as Orbixx [02:52] Your simian cousins need trousers, too. [02:52] <[DS]DragonSlayer> where can i dl some theme for my ubuntu [02:52] [DS]DragonSlayer Try googling for some. [02:53] [DS]DragonSlayer: gnome-look.org [02:53] * Yuji1 writes that down.

[02:53] What is gnome/kde ? [02:53] They are window managers. [02:53] * Yuji1 is entirely new to Linux etc. [02:53] ...Oh GUI basically? [02:53] Gnome is installed by default and KDE is a popular alternative [02:53] Yes [02:53] Popular why? [02:53] windowshasyou, im just using deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ for all mine. [02:54] They are the two major competing window managers for most linux distros. [02:54] I'm not sure, never really used it [02:54] But it has nice icons and a start menu like Windows [02:54] In KDE, that is [02:54] have been for many years [02:54] Eh with my NVidia, Ubuntu sometimes had black windows, so I trashed it. [02:54] * Yuji1 thinks he'll be a KDE fan then. [02:54] in the spirit of internet wonders: www.thechurchofgoogle.org is quite a site to see [02:54] <[DS]DragonSlayer> weird... i just installed ubuntu, when i typed in my login screen, the font size was ginormous [02:54] Some people might recommend having no window manager at all...

One has major flaws and is missing plugins and the other doesn't have sound. i've tried reinstalling also but to no avail :( [02:55] Beautiful? Opinioned, but I'll look it up. [02:55] Anyone uses g++ to compile his c++ source code. I'm getting this warning: warning: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header. [02:55] Yuji1, I use nothing but NV cards and have had GREAT success [02:55] [DS]DragonSlayer: When that happens to me I reboot and it fixes it. [02:55] SeaPhor: Black "insides" for window forms. [02:55] (Excuse my Windows speak) [02:55] i'm not entirely sure, but isn't there an Ubuntu Fluxbox derivative called Fluxbuntu?

[02:56] ...Too much stuff, gah, ok, my original question was why Ubuntu craps errors at me saying something about ata2.0 SAct SErr frozen (skipped some) [02:56] orpras: Did you install restricted drivers? [02:56] yeah [02:56] If I want to force Ubuntu to assign the same drive letters to a device (ie, I want my removable drive to always be /dev/sdg), how can I do that? [02:56] it says ndiswrapper [02:56] Yuji1, not sure i follow you, i run db , my biz software, and games [02:56] My sound works [02:56] i have game system emulators on my system and after the upgrade to 8.04 they won't work. One has major flaws and is missing plugins and the other doesn't have sound. i've tried reinstalling also but to no avail :( [02:57] But I can't get anything to play flac format.

ATI graphics card. :( [03:02] Chris|: MPD? [03:02] Chris|: mpd is music player daemon - it's for things like constantly running your music collection on a server setup.

Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:16] rockysynergy: you need to add the public key for the repo to your apt configuration. Look at that wiki again and see if you missed a step involving apt-key.

I've spend days trying to figure this out... please [03:19] pen: in Hardy? I know Gutsy just warns you and doesn't care one way or the other. They may have changed something in Ubuntu.

[03:20] pen: try aptitude, maybe in the "graphical" mode. [03:20] roachmmflhyr: I'm not finding anything, so it just comes down to whether you want to trust that archive or not, with no evidence to support the idea that you should. [03:20] mwarren: Xchat, or if you like CLI based stuff, irssi. [03:20] cellofellow: oh [03:21] mwarren: I like regular xchat and irssi, but not xchat-gnome [03:21] my nvidia geforce fx 5200 card not workign with hardy [03:21] it was working fine with gutsy [03:21] roachmmflhyr: doh...you're correct.

Would a Pentium II be in that category, or generic? [05:22] roocraig, what happens when you run sudo alsaconf? [05:22] whats the syntax for making an alias [05:22] donkey7186: then you should just be able to right click on the iso in nautilus and click "write to disk" or something similar [05:22] Yes [05:22] system load average is above 100 [05:22] z00k unless things have changed, select the theme in emerald manager, then alt-f2 emerald --replace [05:22] Help!

[05:23] zook: if you have fusion-icon emerald setting should be on it [05:23] roocraig, what about sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart? [05:23] Do not know [05:23] Johnphys if i do write to disc it says "write disk to: (2 options) DVD-RW or File Image [05:23] JohnPhys: right, but I know generic doesn't work on some, and wasn't sure which ones.

[05:25] Maxdamantus: 8.04 Hardy [05:25] I have hardy installed with likewise, and joined to a domain. How can I make it so that the admins in the domain are able to 'sudo'? [05:25] anyone know the name of the program that places tasks in an OSX like bar at the bottom? [05:25] WHat do I have to check? [05:25] donkey7186: If I remember correctly, max write speeds increase the risk of a faulty burn, I always set mine to 4x just to be sure. [05:25] Help!

[05:29] Wolf23: are you just looking for your old partitions? whoever suggested "sudo fdisk -l" is correct, that should list everything for you [05:29] sorteal: idk what I have to get to set it up correctly nor what i'm missing [05:29] Can someone help me? [05:29] i've heard about faad can faad convert to mp4? [05:29] donkey7186: Do you have any more questions? [05:30] I downloaded xchat, not to mention, I'm new to Linux, but I cannot find xchat.

[05:30] NOT trying [05:30] sorteal : basically, havent used anything else [05:30] donkey7186: if you want to install from the cd, you'll reboot [05:30] How do I add screen resolutions above what is available? [05:31] Maxdamantus: what do you think about the output? [05:31] donkey7186: but this will erase all info/data on the partition you install to [05:31] I'm new to Linux, and I somewhat got the hang of it though, but anyway, I installed xchat, but I cannot find where it is. Any ideas? [05:31] coery: applications > internet > xchat [05:31] hi, I am having problem with Hardy. Ever since update, a lot of process go to uninterruptible state which freeze the windows (firefox, kjournald, opera, etc..). /var/log/ shows nothing abnormal. [05:31] roocraig, try sudo -s, then /etc/init.d/alsasound restart [05:31] JohnPhys: like if i rename from ntfs tools, it says that hdb5 is in use choose another name [05:31] once u do a sudo ./d.sh [05:31] Try Rythmbox or XMMS (if u have it installed) and make sure it's your drivers and not your internet connection or you tube itself [05:31] donkey7186: If you're already running gutsy, you should be able to just upgrade to hardy through the update manager [05:31] whats nextr? [05:31] Argh, PulseAudio also won't do surround sound on my Audigy2. [05:31] oh [05:31] I see [05:31] another thing [05:31] Help! X keeps crashing when I try to logout using Logout/Shutdown button in menu! [05:31] can I get the main version of xchat by chance? [05:31] Wolf23: then hdb5 must already be mounted [05:31] johnphys. thats fine if i do that but will it automatically read it. cause i have a partition. how do i know it will read the disc [05:31] ? [05:31] johnphys how do i use the update manager? [05:32] sorteal: I also had seen I can have WIndows through Ubuntu, how can I set that up? [05:32] I don't want this vrsion of xchat. I want the main version. How can I get it ? [05:32] The installer' [05:32] s on the installation disc. [05:32] ....... [05:32] Wolf23: type "mount | grep hdb5" at a terminal [05:32] I dont really know have not used Windows in 4 years. [05:32] Wolf23: That should tell you where your partition is mounted [05:32] JohnPhys: but i cant see the hdd name: hdb5,but they show as 30.5 GB Media <-- [05:32] corey: look to applications > add/remove programs [05:32] corey: uninstall xchat gnome, and install plain xchat [05:32] donkey7186: System -> Administration -> Update Manager [05:33] I'm sure someone else in this room knows [05:33] max: No such file or directory [05:33] after i tried using xen and kvm, vmware stopped working...vmware still doesn't work after removing all xen/kvm related packages...how can i get vmware to work again? [05:33] Wolf23: ah....so you want hardy to display the "name" of the device rather than "30.0 GB Partition"? [05:33] Hello.. I have no audio input. Can someone help me debug this issue?

[05:33] JohnPhys: yes [05:33] I'm having some serious issues with the official Hardy release. I'm running it on a dual-core AMD 64bit laptop with 3GB of ram. It lags severely when any process is dominant. Anyone know why? [05:34] I just installed hardy on a black macBook and when I boot up there [05:34] s a folder with a question mark on it [05:34] nickrud: wb, did u found my solution? [05:34] Which means GRUB isn't set up correctly with EFI I think [05:34] XChat should show up under Applications -> Internet [05:34] josiah : are you using the AMD64 version or 32 bit version? [05:34] This always worked under gutsy [05:34] johnphys will it erase everyone for me? [05:34] Is this broken in hardy? [05:34] gotcha! [05:34] thanks all. [05:34] Wolf23 nope, didn't act the way I expected. Checking something else. [05:34] sorteal: the 64 bit distro..

Anyone know what's going on? [05:35] I am using 8.04 amd64 [05:35] if ive already updated to 8.04 is it possible to try and update again as i think some things didnt work correctly [05:35] Help!

[05:35] Where does AppArmor log to? [05:35] roocraig, try reinstalling alsa-base [05:35] Wolf23: Ah, sorry, I misunderstood you. I haven't tried this in Hardy, but it worked in Gutsy. I just named the folder in /media what I wanted the drive to be called. In other words, if I wanted teh drive to be called "Win XP", I made a folder /media/Win XP, then mounted /dev/sdawhatever to /media/Win XP [05:35] !zh | byonk [05:35] byonk: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:36] Maxdamantus: how do I reinstall alsabase?

[05:36] Yeah it should [05:36] josiah, yes. [05:36] ah. [05:36] I use 32 bit on my AMD64...worked since Edgy. [05:36] Dear sweet goodness. [05:36] josiah: if you're asking because it's an Athlon 64 or something, then yes [05:36] You just won't be able to run 64bit apps.

When I install of this stuff on Ubuntu, what folder do I go into to get to it ? [05:39] I'm new to linux and i'm trying to get surround sound to work - the default audio drivers don't seem to be working its a evga 680i onboard sound, realtek ALC885/Azaila HDA [05:39] BSG75: it just doesn't make sense for most people [05:39] Wolf23: I'm sorry, I don't understand. "They already have renames"? [05:39] check [05:39] do anyone of you know if there's an issue with acpi or the gnome battery manager? [05:39] does anyone have an idea why a two-finger tap with two-finger scrolling enabled on a touchpad would scroll the page immediately to the bottom? [05:39] JohnPhys: and on /media they seems empty [05:39] SuperQ: I agree with that completely :) [05:39] Will someone please help me? [05:39] PulseAudio is using the wrong device! [05:39] is x chat the same as mIRC? [05:39] SuperQ : I just wish more developers and Co. supported 64 bit [05:39] whats pulseaudio do anyways? [05:39] MaxwellsSilverHa: no [05:39] Maxdamantus: no. [05:39] pakoz, you will probably have to use alsamixer (type alsamixer at prompt) to configure your channels [05:39] Another question. When I install of this stuff on Ubuntu, what folder do I go into to get to it ? [05:39] Wolf23: Let me try to get it to work on my hardy install real quick. Just to check, You want the drives, as they show up in "Places" and on the desktop, to have some name, like "Music Drive" or "Windows", right? [05:40] alsamixer -c0 [05:40] or alsamixer -c1 [05:40] sorteal: Agreed, writing 64bit clean code isn't that hard [05:40] cool just checking if you guys were paying attention! [05:40] corey: when you install stuff in ubuntu.. they usually show up in your menues [05:40] owen``` thats the default mixer and it doesnt let me set it to 5.1 [05:40] PulseAudio does what ESD does, except better. [05:40] SuperQ : Really? Then what's the hold up? [05:40] sorteal: bad coders :) [05:40] roocraig, I think it's sudo apt-get reinstall alsa-base [05:40] corey: if you are new, I recommend keeping to standard applications until you get your feet wet [05:40] sorteal: not everone is Linus Torvalds [05:41] I wish PulseAudio would do surround properly. [05:41] ;) [05:41] SuperQ : Ha Ha I agree [05:41] http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup [05:41] or sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base [05:41] and even Linus isn't right all the time [05:41] once u do a sudo ./d.sh [05:41] whats nextr? [05:41] JohnPhys: ok [05:41] gracias [05:41] but probably more often right than I am :) [05:41] You may have to configure PA manually. [05:41] SuperQ: know of any bug with the battery applet in gnome? [05:41] SuperQ : He was right about GNOME in my opinion [05:41] BSG75: none recently [05:42] in which files does sessions write the applications to be run on login? [05:42] Hardy Heron on my MacBook won't boot after installation. The boot loader isn't working/installed properly because at boot the folder icon with a question mark and Ubuntu won't boot. [05:42] Maxdamantus: ok-alsa-base downloaded and reinstalled-now where do I go from here? [05:42] how do i get my Trash can to the desktop? [05:42] SuperQ: I don't understand why this applet thinks my battery is depleted but charging when acpid -b shows fully charged .. is this something I should worry bout? [05:42] SuperQ, Linus might not know everything about every piece of software on Linux either.. His main project was the kernel. [05:42] Gutsy worked... does hardy heron not working with MacBooks by default anymore> [05:42] BSG75: hrm [05:43] mplayer crashed & then after it crashed all apps in ubuntu gutsy stopped making sound, I restarted my computer but still no sound, please hel me [05:43] http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/151 [05:43] BSG75: ls /proc/acpi/battery/ [05:43] " PA perfectly supports surround sound these days and does a simple but automatic up and downmixing. Closing this bug. " [05:43] Perfectly Supports? [05:43] Perfect my $BODY_PART! [05:43] xcvxvx: a lot of stuff seems to be missing, moved around or just plain b0rked in Hardy... [05:43] SuperQ: do you want the "state"? [05:43] Utter bull. [05:44] If it worked "perfectly" -- it'd do surround. [05:44] BSG75: no, i'm just wondering if the kernel thinks there is more than one BATX dir [05:44] LSD|Ninja : he said Gutsy [05:44] Is there a way to change the screen resolutions on Ubuntu ? === Owen``` is now known as Owen``````````` [05:44] DanaG: what's it do wrong? [05:44] corey: yes [05:44] SuperQ: ack .. there is nothing writted in BAT0 [05:44] corey, System -> Preferences -> Screen resolution [05:44] corey: In Gutsy there was, it seems to be missing in Hardy [05:44] It doesn't give surround sound! === Owen``````````` is now known as Owen``` [05:44] Help! X keeps crashing when I try to logout using Logout/Shutdown button in menu! [05:44] corey: system > preferences > screen resolution [05:44] BSG75: huh [05:44] how do u cycle through desktop resolutions via keystroke [05:44] opps, lol Maxdamantus beat me to it, lol [05:45] $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state [05:45] present: yes [05:45] :) [05:45] DanaG: what are you testing it with? [05:45] Hardware? [05:45] Or audio file? [05:45] The one in preferences blows, the control panel they introduced in 7.10 was much better but seems to have been dropped in Hardy :( [05:45] I'm just looking in the volume control, and in the log output. [05:45] W: alsa-util.c: Device hw:1 doesn't support 6 channels, changed to 2. [05:45] W: alsa-util.c: Device hw:1 doesn't support sample format float32le, changed to s16le. [05:45] SuperQ: yes .. however.. nothing is noted under alarm, info or state [05:45] BSG75: huh [05:45] BSG75: no idea [05:45] hi, why is this happening: $ ls .gvfs -> Transport endpoint is not connected: '/home/username/.gvfs' [05:45] Audigy2 does not do 24-bit audio in Linux. Ripoff. [05:45] great [05:45] And PulseAudio refuses to do surround with it. [05:46] SuperQ: exactly .. me very confused [05:46] :) [05:46] DanaG: audio player, i mean [05:46] Is there a way to put my trash can on the Desktop.. [05:46] DanaG: Audigy2 doesn't do 24 bit anywhere [05:46] SuperQ: nm .. I am an idiot [05:46] I don't need an audio player to test it. [05:46] DanaG: oh i see [05:46] MrKeuner: Looks like a broken link. [05:46] NOt anywhere? Works fine in Windows. [05:46] DanaG: so your card doesn't do surround, mebbe? [05:46] DanaG: It inter/extrapolates 24-bit streams to/from 16 bit, just like Audigy 1 [05:46] Actually, it DOES do surround... if I use surround51:1 [05:46] But hw:1 is JUST the front. [05:47] Maxdamantus: what do I do after reinstalling alsa-base? [05:47] DanaG: Linux is being honest with you, Windows isn't [05:47] What do you mean inter/extrapolates? [05:47] benji: how can it be broken, is use hardy 8.04 and did not touch gvfs folder or settings [05:47] Not true 24-bit audio? That's false advertising -- should be illegal, if it's true. [05:47] benji: can I restart gvfs somehow? [05:47] DanaG: The DSP in Audigy 1 and 2 is only 16 bit. When you feed it a 24 bit stream it has to up/downconvert it in order to be able to work with it [05:47] dumb question: how is linux pronounced? [05:47] DanaG: It is and Creative were successfully sued over it [05:48] So how come they're still advertising it as such? [05:48] raginginsideme2: Lin X [05:48] They should be sued again. [05:48] Linniks? [05:48] MrKeuner: Sorry, I'm new to Hardy, and haven't had time to explore it yet. [05:48] Oh, it's "Audigy 2 ZS" actually. [05:48] At least, that's what they call it. [05:48] DanaG: The case wasn't in the US, it was the UK as I recall [05:48] Actual chip on the cardbus one is CA0109-1AG. [05:49] Doesn't look like emu10k1 to me! [05:49] But in Windows, it uses the Audigy2 drivers, not the SBLive drivers. [05:49] i want to remote desktop into my friends computer with his permission ... how do i do this [05:49] so, in hardy, whenever I boot it networking don't work, and I have to "modprobe -r forcedeth" and "modprobe -v forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" which I have had to do on other linux systems, but never ubuntu. And in hardy, when I tried to add those options to /etc/modprobe.d/options it doesn't fix the networking problem and I still have to reload the modules anyway after boot. I am also getting random mouse drifts with any USB mouse I use in [05:49] hardy, and I don't have the problem in any other OS. Please help with mai hardy problems :( [05:49] Can't you not use the DSP? [05:50] DanaG: you may as well just use your mobos onboard sound if you're going to do that [05:50] * enaner asks  i want to remote desktop into my friends computer with his permission ... how do i do this [05:50] Onboard is 2-channel only. [05:50] It's a notebook. [05:50] I need some help, I'm a total n00b at Ubuntu and I'm having trouble using it... If someone can help me, please go into private chat with me [05:50] But my onboard will truly do 24-bit 192KHz playback, even in Linux. [05:50] Anyone has any idea when the shadows problem with compiz+ nvidia drivers will be solved? [05:50] System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop [05:50] Capture does not work at all on it, though. [05:50] Shadownaught, you're far better off asking your question here initially [05:51] Ok... [05:51] enaner: he has to have remote desktop enabled and with an account you can use to log in for a start. From ther you can use rdesktop/tsclient to access it. rdesktop looks pretty much identical to the MS RDP client so it shouldn't be hard to get going [05:51] benji but i want to contro someone elses [05:51] Hardy Heron on my MacBook won't boot after installation. The boot loader isn't working/installed properly because at boot the folder icon with a question mark and Ubuntu won't boot. [05:51] When I start Ubuntu, it loads [05:51] im having issues with my wirelessc [05:51] Capture just hangs mysteriously. [05:51] but then it goes to a black screen and I have to type in commands. [05:51] Gutsy worked... does hardy heron not work with MacBooks by default anymore? [05:51] I have no idea what to do. [05:51] it seems the driver is installed correctly [05:51] But even so... the audio device should still support surround! [05:51] xcvxvx: folder with a ? means no valid system folder. You goofed boy. [05:51] Wolf23: Sorry, I can't seem to get the same behavior under Hardy as I have in Gusy [05:51] however i am not able to search for networks [05:51] It does... but PulseAudio refuses to use it with surround. [05:52] emaner: If he's using Ubuntu, that's where you set it up. If not, well, I don't know how, but Hardy comes with Vinagre for remote desktop, or vncviewer on older versions. [05:52] Oh, how I wish somebody would make a cardbus or expresscard C-Media Oxygen-based card. [05:52] benji: Someone else will need to tell you how to open his computer on another system. [05:52] Shadownaught, did it work off the liveCD before you installed it? [05:52] Yes [05:52] New install of Hardy on G33TL Core 2 duo with INTEL HDA which doesn't work [05:52] Any ideas? [05:52] LSD|Ninja: How did I goof? I just installed hardy [05:52] RandomUsr: what doesn't work? [05:53] foxhop: sound card [05:53] RandomUsr: The installer doesn't work, the LiveCD...more ifo. [05:53] *info [05:53] People are starting to wake up to the fact Creative hardware/software is utter shite now, with any luck they'll either be gone completely or at the very least, just out of the sound card market in a few years [05:53] I've woken up to it ages ago. [05:53] helow [05:54] I just hope they somehow let the Aureal stuff out before they die. [05:54] benji, foxhop everything installed w/o issue but when I started for the first time I had no sound [05:54] even now [05:54] Either that, or make it so that others can replace it. [05:54] wheres /dev/input/js0 at in hardy? [05:54] RandomUsr, try to unmute surround in the mixer [05:54] spassy, I have no sound device according to alsa and lspci [05:55] Creative is scum, in my opinion. [05:55] RandomUsr: Did it work in the LiveCD (if you used the LiveCD)? [05:55] can anyone tell me where i can ask about dhcp/iptables stuff? [05:55] benji, no [05:55] I used the LiveCD [05:55] imfirst timer with ubuntu..hehehe [05:55] hello [05:56] benji, I've checked out the alsa site, but not sure what to do [05:56] cwd, Unless your nick is something other than what I am thinking this isn't your firs *NIX though :) [05:56] more chat in nhere [05:56] RandomUsr: Do you know what hardware you're using? [05:56] has anyone run into http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770442 these before ? [05:56] how do i open "Vinagre"????????????? [05:56] benji, officially it's the sigmatel HDA [05:56] if i have vista am i better off resizing my partition in vista? [05:56] in which files does sessions write the applications to be run on login? [05:57] before installing ubuntu [05:57] Applications -> Internet -> Remote Desktop Viewer [05:57] i have the ATI readon x1900. do ennyone know how i can run the driver in fxl somthing. and my computer don't freez up? [05:57] any 1 here know about squid ? [05:57] Oh, I sooo want a C-Media card! [05:57] i'm having problems with it [05:57] Creative is evil! Utterly vile! [05:57] enaner, I believe it's Applications -> Internet -> Remote Desktop Viewer [05:57] mayakuza: wait for the open source drivers to become usable in another year or so :P [05:57] CA0106 ? [05:58] benji, Sigmatel STAC9271D [05:58] !gparted | Mexi1010 [05:58] Mexi1010: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [05:58] LSD|Ninja: i can't w8 that long lol [05:58] I got the X1600 had to go back to 7.10 :S [05:58] I've also had enough of nvidia; I'm actually going to switch back to ATI in the summer. [05:58] I'm out of the loop what did CREATIVE do? [05:58] thanks ubotu [05:58] enaner, Or run 'vinagre' [05:58] RandomUsr: I've never dealt with Sigmatel. [05:58] No release source? [05:58] DanaG, was that sentence backward? [05:58] Nope. [05:59] RandomUsr: I'll see what I can find, though. [05:59] I'm sick of nvidia issues. [05:59] can anyone help me set up squid [05:59] did i slip into bizarro world? [05:59] Even if ATI is crap.... so is NVIDIA. [05:59] foxhop: Nah, the advertised the Audigy 1 and 2 as being 24 bit capable when the reality was they just weren't [05:59] wow [05:59] And ATI is now open surce. [05:59] benji, it's just need to install the right modules i think [05:59] source. [05:59] can't say i've ever had a problem with nvidia [05:59] not sure what those are [05:59] ALSO: Creative deliberately cripples their Vista drivers. [05:59] more sourece code witj ubuntu???i have been request an ubuntu [05:59] and ati's specs are out there, it doesn't mean there's a good driver yet. [05:59] DanaG, no shock there [05:59] DanaG, They aren't really ( NDA and fglrx is still the best we've got ) [05:59] is it posible to run the driver from 7.10 on hardy? [05:59] IF (I'm in Vista) (break 99% of advertised features on the box!) [06:00] If (in XP) (let those features work) [06:00] that's the million dollar questions mayakuza [06:00] I run onboard sound without any issues [06:00] can anyone help me with sound-I reinstalled alsabase and now where do I do from here to make my sound work-I am new to Ubuntu [06:00] hhhh [06:00] 5.1 surround gigabyte board [06:00] is there a z80 assembler for linux? [06:00] I WANT C-MEDIA! In a notebook form factor. And not USB! [06:00] Vegan_Cannibal: is it posible? i hate runing my driver in "vesa" [06:01] Mexi1010, Yes, apt-cache search z80 [06:01] I couldn't get it to work - reverted back to 7.10 out of frustration lol [06:01] Two things I'll be ditching in Summer, then: [06:01] hehe [06:01] NVIDIA and Creative. [06:01] how can i try out KDE4 ?? [06:01] Creative know the bottom is falling out of the consumer PC sound card market, crippling the Vista drivers for their older stuff is purely a way to try and make people buy their latest and greatest but it's more than likely going to backfire hard [06:01] It already HAS backfired. [06:01] Have you seen their forums lately? [06:02] If they'd bring back the Aureal stuff... 100% intact.... then, maybe, they'd be revivable. [06:03] I saw the writing on the wall over 5 years ago with the BSLive, I can't believe it's taken people this long to realise Creative are garbage. [06:03] Aureal Vortex [06:03] I had that card [06:03] lol [06:03] <- dated [06:03] foxhop: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:04] At least now I can get "EAX5" in software on literally ANY sound card. [06:04] Too bad it sounds overly metallic. [06:04] Hi. I uninstalled firefox-3 and installed firefox-2. I then copied firefox-2 in /usr/bin to firefox. but when i try to access it it says 'Cannot find mozilla runtime directory'. Ideas? [06:04] benji, let me see if I find it [06:04] chris__, #ubuntu-offtopic [06:04] benji: can you help me with my sound problem-new to Ubuntu 8.04 and I have no sound [06:04] The XFXA cards (Extreme Audio... I refuse to spell it like an idiot) use software EAX. [06:04] how can i try out KDE4? im on ubuntu gutsy [06:04] thanks [06:04] That may be fine.. but the sound is WRONG! [06:04] chris__, np [06:04] A stone cave should not sound like METAL! [06:05] Therefore, the product is BROKEN. [06:05] in which files does sessions write the applications to be run on login? [06:05] benji, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel [06:05] hi all does anyone know how to have windows and ubuntu see each other while running vmware workstation to run ubuntu [06:05] benji, that's mine [06:05] ... and people have grounds to sue for a broken product. [06:05] The host-based-ness is not the issue; the incorrect sound is the issue. [06:05] 8.04 cannot read my nvidia or my wifi drivers... (they used to be in restricted-manager, they aren't in jockey now) [06:06] sue, sue, yes im gonna sue.. i'll probly sue YOU! [06:06] hi, I am having problem with Hardy. Ever since update, a lot of process go to uninterruptible state which freeze the windows (firefox, kjournald, opera, etc..). /var/log/ shows nothing abnormal. [06:06] masmota, weird al ftw! [06:06] RandomUsr: Okay, try this command: sudo modprobe snd-card-hda-intel [06:06] :) [06:06] benji: bzzzrt, wrong. [06:06] snd-hda-intel [06:06] benji, did that it's for older hardware [06:06] DanaG, I grew up with macs so when I started using PC's I was shocked that there were still ( and now are still ) sound cards that don't sound right, how can some companies not get it right after so many years ? It's not new technology [06:07] Did I miss anyThing ? [06:07] How about the others in the line above it? [06:07] Don't want to go about compiling modules you already have. [06:07] my 'taskbar' at the top of the screen seems to have frozen how do i restart it? [06:07] JohnPhys: so there is no solution? [06:08] I thought that was a solution... [06:08] benji, modprobe snd-hda-intel [06:08] if any one knows anything about squid and PAM please msg me i need some help [06:08] pakoz2, killall gnome-panel [06:08] can anyone help me with difficult sound problem-no sound in ubuntu 8.04 [06:08] !ask | roocraig [06:08] roocraig: 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. :-) [06:09] roocraig, What card? [06:09] how ;x? i only know how to get to the 'task manager' through the system drop down [06:09] @jordan_u [06:09] benji, when I click on the sound control, I get an error about gstreamer finding my device [06:09] how can i try out KDE4? im on ubuntu gutsy [06:09] mplayer crashed & then after it crashed all apps in ubuntu gutsy stopped making sound, I restarted my computer but still no sound, please help me [06:09] do i just install kubuntu package?

(i get really slow dl) [06:09] pakoz2, alt+f2 "killall gnome-panel" [06:09] May give more useful output. [06:09] RandomUsr: try sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel? [06:09] Any idea how to fix surround sound? [06:10] !ask installing squid with PAM, i can't get this to work [06:10] Rat409 yes to no avail [06:10] can someone tell me why on Hardy the preview of image files like icons or smilies look so awful or how can I fix it? [06:10] jordan_U: what command do I type to find what card I have? [06:10] I don't want to have to restart pulseaudio, and then kill and restart my media apps, when I insert my sound card. [06:10] [DS]DragonSlayer, If you got the DVD then yes, is your internet connection slow or just the apt mirror? [06:10] benji, alsamixer won't start [06:10] jordan_u: alt-f2 doesnt seem to do anything [06:10] <[DS]DragonSlayer> the apt mirror are slow [06:10] Didn't say why?

[06:11] roocraig, otherwise 'lspci' [06:11] Waah, Asus, PLEASE come rescue us from Creative! [06:11] DanaG, caps=shouting [06:11] benji, something about snd_ctl_open failed [06:11] Yes. I mean to shout.

[06:12] Rat409, Trying to use onboard as it's my only sound card [06:12] <[DS]DragonSlayer> double click to install w/ Gdebi? eh? [06:12] fayetteson, Try logging in to a failsafe gnome session [06:12] tried didnt work [06:12] new hardy install [06:12] only thing i can get into is failsafe terminal [06:12] ./configure on tux racer--> C compiler cannot create executables [06:12] !wifi [06:12] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:12] what's the deal? [06:13] fayetteson, Or ctrl+alt+F1 and try "killall compiz" [06:13] jordan-U: what is the whole command that I run in the terminal? [06:13] Stupid emu(10k1). [06:13] I'd rather have a llama. [06:13] is compiz installed by default [06:13] BWAHAahahahah! [06:13] paynito, Why are you compiling tux racer from source? [06:13] oh, you mean install from apt-get? [06:13] that sounds better [06:13] fayetteson: basic compiz is yes you may want to install ccsm though [06:13] can somebody help me. is about the preview of image files in Nautilus in Hardy [06:13] <[DS]DragonSlayer> how do i install programs from the ubuntu 8.04 disc instead of dl from the server? [06:13] hey can anyone suggest free fps games for ubuntu ? [06:14] RandomUsr: From what I can see, that just means ALSA hasn't detected your device. [06:14] aru4: nexuiz? tremulous?

[06:54] bazhang: mmm yes is little hard to explain [06:54] d3vlabs_, XGL was an old hack so that you could use compiz, which is the spinning cube thing, XGL is no longer necessary [06:54] jordan_U: i restarted ubuntu-what do you want me to do now? [06:54] bazhang-> where is the x log kept?

[06:57] I have a command that has to be executed as root, and I want it to be automaticaly run every time I boot the computer. How can I do this? [06:57] does any have a more robust custom language tool, that you would like to share?* [06:57] or does that really matter [06:58] jordan_u: here is the output [06:58] as expected, a rather difficult problem to tackle...

[07:00] masmota, did a search for swf didnt bring anything up [07:00] can someone explain to me what "grub error 15" is? [07:00] ushimitsudoki: likely just slow [07:00] oh what linux x86 only [07:00] wtf [07:00] firefox will usually prompt you to install flash if its required.. [07:00] linux_: you need to update grub [07:01] hrm, that site worked here, and I'm running 64 [07:01] :'( [07:01] thanks [07:01] bazhang: perhaps - times out for me though. just info for others if they ask.

[07:03] SeaPhor: where can i see it?

[07:27] kindofabuzz, Im having the same problem as well [07:27] Should Firefox 3 Beta 5 be taking up over 100mb of memory after about 5 minutes of casual use? [07:27] likely [07:27] I'm switching to a separate home partition on my laptop with a 60gb hdd...how big should I make my partitions? [07:27] today somebody is here using xcompmgr under hardy? [07:27] sudo apt-get update [07:28] change cache settings if you want to use less memory in firefox, if not ignore its high usage, makes browsing faster [07:28] what package do i need for the Synaptic GUI? [07:28] roocrai1: dont know much about sound; you may wish to ask others or head to #alsa if you dont get a good answer here; what is the screenshot you wished to show? [07:28] anyone? lets say you have a program /usr/bin/foo, how can you make a shortcut to launch "/usr/bin/foo -a -b -c /asdf"? [07:28] Bidget: yeah well for one, they did away with automatically downloading there themes in there svn, iso i loaded imported one and used it, so i import more, and i'm stuck with the first one cause they won't change [07:28] tazeat: add an alias in ~/.bashrc or make a shell script with that in it [07:28] ubuntung-pinoy, when I click on install missing plugins there are 3 options, theres gnash, swfdec, and adobe flash player. should I try one of the other ones maybe? [07:28] thx [07:28] bazhang: screenshot of alsamixer result--there is no muted categories though [07:28] 100mb for 5 minutes of use is pretty big - it seems like a memory leak. (in Firefox) [07:29] kindofabuzz, yeah for me none of the themes are working Im not really sure why [07:29] otto-away: maybe /10gb /swap1gb /boot 100mb and the rest for /home [07:29] Bidget: try adobe flash [07:29] or in add-ons [07:29] Wolf23, start here,, sudo apt-get update [07:29] ubuntung-pinoy, thats the one Im trying [07:29] alecwh: 100mb is nothing nowadays for browsers to use [07:29] Solaris? [07:29] Bidget: it's the one ive got so i say [07:29] ubuntung-pinoy, and it just tells me that flashplugin-nonfree is already installed [07:29] bazhang: could you tell me what i should do? [07:29] Hello i have installed ubuntu 8.04. I enabled an hardware driver and after a reboot i don t see any x. sudo dpkg-reconfigure or displayconfig-gtk does not seem to work [07:29] sounds about right...I wasn't sure how much I should keep for / [07:29] Shadownaught: does the livecd boot normally? [07:29] kindofabuzz: uh, ok, I don't have any comparisons, it just seemed big. Thanks! [07:30] SeaPhor: done [07:30] where can i set the resolution a bit lower ? [07:30] I would think 100mb for a simple browser session is way too much [07:30] Wolf23, anything added? [07:30] Bazhang: Yes. [07:30] otto-away: wrong [07:30] jordan_U: are you still willing to give me a hand with my sound? [07:30] it would depend on what else was running...but if it doesn't release that memory, there is a problem [07:31] SeaPhor: it shows manythings [07:31] look back to the restricted drivers,,, [07:31] otto-away: not nearly enough; and the 100mb I suggested was for /boot not browser session [07:31] yeah 100mb is too much if your machine only has 256M, but the average modern browser, using 100M is very normal [07:31] @starnestommy: thanks shell scripts ftw, just curious if you could simply make a link, but shell script worked great! [07:31] when I look in top it tells me that firefox is using 6% of my memory.. so whatever 6% of 2gb is [07:31] SeaPhor i need to do that from the commandline [07:31] 100mb sounds about right I guess [07:31] SeaPhor how do i do that [07:31] bazhang: that was in response to the guy with firefox taking 100mb, I certainly wouldnt try to make / that small [07:32] search on the firefox forums for memory usage, very good stuff there [07:32] kerbtray, sorry miss-tell [07:32] ok, I have ubuntu almost working on my laptop except the wireless, i've read a bunch of crap but i'm not sure wich method to use, bcmxxx43-fwcutter thing or ndiswrapper. [07:32] Bidget: are u getting this even on other flash pages? [07:32] Shadownaught: how old is this install; fresh hardy or upgrade; did you have third-party repos or only the approved ubuntu ones; use any third party scripts like automatix to install stuff--those are the questions you need to answer to get a handle on this [07:32] so I guess 10g for / 1g swap and ~59g for /home [07:32] ubuntung-pinoy, lemme check [07:32] anyone familiar with the encryption that ubuntu uses from the installer? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=771828 if anybody could help me, thanks [07:32] otto-away: not / but /boot [07:32] Wolf23, look to the restricted drivers\ [07:32] Bidget: try this http://www.thebourneultimatum.com/ [07:33] chip set = ?

[07:35] SeaPhor: no :( [07:35] uhhhh no I havent [07:35] ok--thank you so much for your help--truly appreciated have a nice night [07:35] ubuntung-pinoy, but I didnt ever install a new version of firefox all I did was update to 8.04 [07:35] Mrkeuner: mv that dir to /var? [07:35] out... [07:35] the bcmxx43 utility doesn't like my windows sys file [07:36] ubuntung-pinoy, so it would be the same browser... right? [07:36] i'm probably going to try ndiswrapper next [07:36] Bidget: did you remove then reinstall flashplugin-nonfree? [07:36] bazhang, yes [07:36] ok WTF flash just started working [07:36] I dont get it === Boohbah_ is now known as Boohbah [07:36] Bidget: completely cleared your cache?

Is there problems with drivers etc? [07:37] Bidget: it is okay now? [07:37] SeaPhor: yes [07:37] bazhang, yeah hahaha [07:37] ;] [07:37] bazhang, dont ask me how or why its working though [07:37] lol [07:37] masmota: no i did not do that if it is what you are asking [07:37] if I could only read the notification area in the gnome pannel [07:37] bazhang, but it seems to be working just fine now hahahaha thats so weird [07:37] Bidget: strange.. but congrats nonetheless ;) [07:37] yeah haha [07:38] thanks for the help though :) [07:38] anyone got any ideas about if I should use ndiswrapper or bcm43?

I tried logging out and killing everything with my username attached to it, then logging back in. No success, I tried running init 1 and init 5, no success. I tried a reboot, no success. I tried failesafe gnome, no success. Could anyone help me?

[07:59] tarkus kde4-core should do it [07:59] AlgorithmicContr: Bad RAM? [07:59] or at least the closest to it.. [07:59] qnusa: I highly doubt iy [07:59] bazhang: yeah? ill try that, thanks [07:59] try a different mirror [07:59] AlgorithmicContr: You might be surprise [07:59] MrKeuner, ok... where do I make one hahaha [07:59] qnusa: everything works except Nautilus [07:59] AlgorithmicContr, rename your .nautilus to something else [07:59] MrKeuner, never mind, I think I got it [07:59] fouad: what like? [07:59] AlgorithmicContr: the ubuntu disks these days come with memtest86...it is worth a run just in case [07:59] bazhang: yeah.. i dont have that package [08:00] bazhang: there is kde4base ?? [08:00] Hello #ubuntu I could use some help, with the new ubuntu Hardy whenever I sudo su than when I'm root if I type anything it just exits on it's own, also most of my apps take forever to boot [08:00] AlgorithmicContr, like .nautilus_backup [08:00] otto-away: I know they do, I'm positive it's not the ram. I can run everything else. [08:00] Bonjour, je suis nouveau et découvre Ubuntu 8.04 [08:00] heh, good point otto-away, tx for pointing that out, must be getting sleepy [08:00] !list [08:00] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

[08:01] AlgorithmicContr: Does it just crash? [08:02] is the repository working right now? [08:02] fouad: sudo rename .nautilus/ .nautiilis_backup? something like that? [08:02] MrKeuner, is it possible to log in to the other user and still keep this one running?

[08:03] Bidget: it is a gnome applet [08:03] AlgorithmicContr, just open a consol and type "mv .nautilus .nautilus_bak" [08:03] MrKeuner, gotcha [08:03] I have an aspire 5050 laptop with an sd/xd card reader but ubuntu isn't detecting it. What should I do? [08:03] fouad: I did that. [08:03] hey guys ! i upgraded to ubuntu 8.04 and now i cannot get my broadcom WLAN to work :S under 7.10 it used also to recognize it under the hardware drivers but not anymore. any ideas ? [08:03] can u guys recommend a ed2k client for ubuntu [08:03] whirlybird20: is it internally connected to usb? [08:03] ... [08:03] I don't know [08:04] Gidx: Did you enable and download fwcutter from the repositor? [08:04] AlgorithmicContr, ok and you have the same issue when you start nautilus ? [08:04] repository? [08:04] How do i unmount /media/F ? [08:04] fouad: It doesn't start at all [08:04] ok [08:04] fouad: everyhing else does [08:04] Flynsarmy: umount /media/F [08:04] kexp903, what is fwcutter ? [08:04] fouad: http://pastebin.com/m7b04add6 [08:04] myf you did sudo do-release-upgrade?

That's letter ell [08:05] Bye, je quitte [08:05] au revoir ;] [08:05] Gidx: It's the driver for the broadcom Wlan [08:05] kexp903, i installed this package: bcm43xx-fwcutter [08:05] isn't this the one ? [08:05] Salut à tous, je quitte [08:05] yes [08:05] Bidget: if you have also installed gnash or other flash players they might be interfering, perhaps [08:05] fouad: ..yeah.. [08:05] qnusa: It says it's not mounted. but the folders in /media folder [08:05] mmmm after staring at lines of assembly all day, installing hardy is like therapy [08:06] kexp903, i guess it's actually the firmware. isn't it ? now how do i check that it's properly recognized ? [08:06] If i put the card in a camera and then plug the camera in to the laptop it works fine. But I would like to be able to use the laptop's built in card reader [08:06] Flynsarmy: It's just a directory... ignore it [08:06] Flynsarmy: Type "mount" and see if it's listed. [08:06] ok stupid question time....KDE and GNOME are basically just competitive GUI desktop softwares? [08:07] AlgorithmicContr, did you tried to rename the .fonts ?? [08:07] fouad: that has nothing to do with it [08:07] I've alwauys had that [08:07] Gidx: in terminal type ifconfig to see if it sees the wlan [08:07] ScotTFO: desktop frameworks would perhaps explain it better [08:07] AlgorithmicContr, well nautilus think it's Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 1: XML declaration not well-formed [08:07] hello... i have a variety of issues with hardy... has anyone seen errors like this before?: Cannot create system bus: The maximum number of active connections for UID has been reached [08:07] if not uninstall it through the hardware drivers than reinstall it [08:07] ScotTFO: they do not exclude each other though [08:07] happens when i try ot run users-manager [08:08] AlgorithmicContr, can you paste the file [08:08] (pastebin) [08:08] Ahh..ok..thanks..sorry I am a former MS user trying to come to the dark side :) [08:08] fouad: http://pastebin.com/m4eb4a890 [08:08] kexp903, all i see is eth1 and lo. then i guess it doesn't see it [08:08] Hello all. Has anybody reported any problems with doing a fresh install of Hardy, and on first boot they get dropped into a grub shell? [08:09] qnusa: The problem is that in 'Places' i have a drive called F. but there is already a folder called F in /media folder. So when the place is mounted it gets put on /media/F_ [08:09] kexp903, the issues is that i cannot see it in the hardware drivers installation thing [08:09] ScotTFO: sort of like ms office and openoffice, do the same things, a bit differently, and ooo can read ms files [08:09] To get my built in speakers working i have to go to the terminal and type alsamixer then un-mute surround and turn it right up. This would be fine apart from the face that I have to do it every time my computer restarts. Is there any way that I can save the changes? [08:09] Gidx: Ok than go to system > administeration > Hardware Drivers than uncheck the broadcom [08:09] kexp903, the hardware drivers only shows me my nvidia [08:09] fouad: perhaps, reinstalling Nautilus? [08:10] Sorry I said face and i meant fact [08:10] in 8.04, what kind of kernel headers that we need for vmware? [08:10] there are so many choices [08:10] anyone has there been any update pushed through the update-manager? [08:10] ScotTFO: On some level you can almost think of them as just different interfaces. Both can run each others programs (although they have preferred programs that differ) [08:10] AlgorithmicContr, copy the file /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to .fonts.conf in your home dir [08:10] fouad: aye ate [08:10] aye [08:10] ScotTFO: so just pick the one that looks most like you would want to use it [08:10] Can anyone help? [08:11] Hi all.... [08:11] whirlybird20: I am seeing little tidbits relating to it when I google search it [08:11] fouad: hey, it works now [08:11] fouad: thanks, hehe [08:11] good [08:11] no problem [08:11] Otto...well I currently have gnome installed and I am looking into KDE and I think I like it better..so now I guess the question is how do I use that instead in Ubuntu? If this is too advanced for a beginner just stop me here..as I have TONS to learn :) [08:11] whirlybird20: but I don't really see a solution...maybe try leaving a post on the ubuntu forums [08:11] otto-away, ok [08:12] whirlybird20, quick fix maybe? add alsa-mixer to sessions? [08:12] maybe? [08:12] Does any body have trouble running deluge-torent in Hardy? [08:12] ScotTFO, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and change your session to "KDE" at the login window [08:12] ScotTFO: kde3 or kde4? [08:12] brent113, What do you mean? [08:12] ah, forgot about kde4 [08:12] lol [08:12] you said you have to start alsa-mixer right? adding it to sessions would at least save that step [08:12] * Fa using kde 3.5.9 [08:12] j /ubuntu-id [08:12] ScotTFO: you can have both installed at once using what ceil420 said [08:12] (i'm more Enlightened, i guess :p) [08:13] join /help [08:13] ceil420: Oh that seems easy enough..thank you :) bazhang I have no clue..I am a newb [08:13] indonesia [08:13] Thank you very much for helping me out guys [08:13] ScotTFO: best to stick with kde3 then ceil420's instructions (as usual) are correct ;] [08:14] ScotTFO: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde might help [08:14] how can I restart gvfs [08:14] HHello eveyone [08:14] hi [08:14] I just upgraded to hardy and it killed my system :) [08:14] guys' how do i set the keyboard shortcut for changing the layout ? [08:15] first problem... Xgl won't start [08:15] I am having a horrible problem: When i boot into 8.04, it goes straight into busybox. How can this be fixed? I have tried startx, but that dosnt work. [08:15] Does anybody know how to install and (succesfully) run delude-torrent ? [08:15] it says "xmodmap: unable to open display ':1'" [08:15] joshhunt: We might be having similar problems [08:15] joshhunt: Although, I don't know how to fix it. :) [08:15] curryml: I just installed myttv... [08:15] kuadhual, download the ubuntu packackage, sudo dpkg -i , then start it via deluge-torrent === roachmmflhyr__ is now known as roachmmflhyr [08:15] curryml: me neither :P [08:15] is this the right place to ask about this? [08:16] guys' how do i set the keyboard shortcut for changing the layout ? [08:16] how long is the hardy installer going to hang at the "getting time from network..." before it realizes it has no internet? [08:16] no shortcut seems to be set :S [08:16] joshhunt: you should have a generic kernel to boot into instead of the 386 one [08:16] kuadhual, deluge also should be in the backport, so you can install it via apt [08:16] anyone have a favorite flavor of ubuntu they use for a file server [08:16] joshhunt: I installed Hardy clean, and got kicked into a grub prompt. I tried my best to get booted from there, but I'm stuck at busybox now as well [08:16] tim__b: i did, and reinstall it tooo [08:16] !find deluge [08:16] Found: deluge-torrent, deluge-torrent-common [08:16] * roachmmflhyr is going to stay away from hardy for a little while [08:17] roachmmflhyr: ubuntu server :) [08:17] tim__b: but not successfulll [08:17] !info deluge-torrent [08:17] deluge-torrent (source: deluge-torrent): A Bittorrent client written in Python/PyGTK. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.8.9-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2329 kB, installed size 6572 kB [08:17] I'm hesitant to ctrl-c during an install [08:17] fouad, i figured that [08:17] kuadhual, what's the error you get? [08:17] fouad, edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy?? [08:17] if I run deluge from terminal it produce the folloeing: File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1147, in _execute_child [08:17] help ! :) [08:18] roachmmflhyr: You and me both. [08:18] how can I reinstall X or fix it somehow? [08:18] curryml, what problems are you running into? [08:18] roachmmflhyr, it doesnt really matter but I'm running gutsy without any problem [08:18] tim__b: and the last line: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory [08:18] roachmmflhyr: I just did a clean install, and it leaves me at a grub prompt instead of booting [08:18] kuadhual, did you accidentally deleted a *.torrent from your .torrent dir, which was still used by deluge? [08:18] when I switch to a VT I see "hda: drive not ready for command" repeated over and over again as well [08:18] !mythbuntu [08:18] what is going on? [08:19] Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [08:19] so yes...the hardy installer seems to be stuck at the NTP server request [08:19] curryml, wow i didnt run into that [08:19] roachmmflhyr: If I set root, boot, initrd, and boot, I get a good way to being booted, but it stops at busybox [08:19] fouad, your a first [08:19] roachmmflhyr: Probably because I don't know how to configure grub properly. ;) [08:19] curryml, ah i see [08:20] tim__b: i had gutsy, then i did a clean install hardy. using alternate cd, doing command line install. after that i install xorg, kdebase, som other package then deluge [08:21] kuadhual, can you paste the full log ? [08:21] roachmmflhyr: I don't really have time to deal with this sort of thing this evening, but I wanted to see if anybody else was having this kind of problem. Quite a show stopper. [08:21] fouad: which log and to where ? [08:21] no virtual terminals during hardy install either? [08:21] kuadhual, deluge log at pastebin [08:21] pastebin.com [08:22] Any major updates on Hardy? [08:22] so uhh, is release.ubuntu.com down for the night? [08:23] ariqs, you need to download ubuntu ? [08:23] It's a shame, I was looking forward to getting back to Ubuntu... Dapper was the last one that worked very well on this machine. [08:23] been downloading it again and I can't get it to resume lately ;P On dialup. It's quite the task [08:24] ohh I see [08:24] good luck [08:24] Good afternoon dear Ubuntu users. [08:24] I just upgraded to hardy and it killed my system :) [08:24] first problem... Xgl won't start [08:24] it says "xmodmap: unable to open display ':1'" [08:24] I got to around 80% and it's been awful ever since [08:24] how can I fix it? [08:24] ariqs, you can requeste a free cd if you want to [08:24] fouad: I did that like a month ago. Dialup is faster than that ;P [08:24] fouad: I hope i didi it right: http://pastebin.com/d1912031a but i can't find deluge log... i don't think that it even start [08:25] anyone? [08:26] kuadhual, try that in the consol /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/deluge [08:27] fouad: it's the same output [08:27] how about removing deluge and reinstall it ? [08:28] or just switch to a good torrent client like transmission [08:28] fouad: and I did sudo apt-get remove --purge deluge-torrent && sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent ... it's the same [08:28] So, does anyone know how to fix the issue with dapper booting into busybox? [08:28] weird.. [08:28] fouad: i think i miss installing something [08:28] try installing deluge-torrent-common [08:29] that's why I ask: Dows anybody doing regular desktop install have trouble running deluge ? [08:29] typo: does [08:29] never use it; transmission is the better choice imo [08:29] on hardy I didn't [08:30] I tried transmission , can't really tweak it .... [08:31] I'm not sure what I did, but now any windows opened with sudo have the standard ugly gnome theme [08:31] I've tried linking my own themes and icons to /root, but that does not work [08:31] any ideas? [08:31] kuadhual, try to delete the deluge config [08:32] fouad: can't find any deluge or .deluge in my home directory [08:32] it's in .config [08:32] it's en empty dir [08:32] I just installed 8.04 via wubi, and after a couple of reboots and using it, it now boots into busybox, and where it would normally say your account username on a normal terminal, it says (initramfs). What does this mean and how can i fix it? [08:33] kuadhual, what ubuntu version do you have [08:33] i rmdir it, run deluge, still have the same problem [08:33] <`rob> please tell me how to get that picture of tux at the upper left-hand side of my screen in a console [08:33] fouad: 8.04 alternate install (Linux miso 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux) [08:33] kuadhual, try to install dbus-x11 [08:34] `rob, I'm guessing fbconsole, but will have a look [08:34] <`rob> shukran [08:34] fouad: well, jackpot.. it run....

It only happens when I browse sites with Firefox. So it has something todo with the combination there. Computer hangs for 5-10 seconds every time I load something heavy inside Firefox.

[09:04] praise bob [09:05] huh? [09:05] I dont suppose there happen to be any file system conversion tools that convert ext3 to xfs are there [09:05] can anyone tell me if it is bad/dangerous to remove a fan grill? [09:06] peddy, ony if the CPU is running [09:06] Blinkiz: I use conky to show system stats and have noticed firefox takes the cpu to 100% for most sites - that might be the issue [09:06] peddy, wich one do you mean :). [09:06] peddy that entirely depends on the type of fan and the type of hardware [09:06] Anyone expert on desktop effects? [09:06] on a normal desktop machine I doubt it would be terribly dangerous, on some of the larger servers that have massive very powerful fans, it could be very dangerous [09:07] i think releases.ubuntu.com, died ;P [09:07] can anyone here help me with squid PAM [09:07] ere4si, conky? okay. Well, I don't use conky [09:07] any clue why nothing binds on localhost anymore? [09:07] and I dunno why in the middle of the night [09:07] and if its a power supply fan you are talking about, be extremely careful opening a power supply even if its off, because the charge stored in a power supplies caps can throw you across the room 3 days after its turned off [09:07] trust me, been there, done that, got the hell kicked outta me doing it [09:07] there is no blinking light when i connect lan cable..it works with other computers.. [09:08] am I right in thinking that the restricted drivers for 2.6.22 for fglrx don't exist in hardy? I ask as I can't boot 2.6.24 as it kills my system and I can't see the 2.6.22 versions in synaptic [09:08] (same with CRT monitors) [09:08] is there anybody here using the openvz kernel in 8.04? [09:08] Blinkiz: was just saying it showed the cpu goes to 100% opening firefox [09:08] someone must be able to help me with squid come on :( [09:09] Anyone know which part of compiz fusion makes the fancy desktop switching? Makes it look all fancy? [09:09] lesshaste: 2.6.22 in general doesn't exist in hardy [09:09] !ccsm | blackjackel [09:09] blackjackel: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'.

[09:09] ere4si: conky rocks btw :) [09:10] dwidmann: right... oh dear :) [09:10] DistroJockey, yes, I already have this installed, but I cant figure out which is doing the fancy switching... I dont want to disable switching all together, i just want to disable the fancy switch effect.... I am having problems with compiz, multiple desktops, and a wine game.... [09:11] blackjackel: what sort of switching? alt+tab? [09:11] No, ctrl alt and arrowkey [09:11] Hi all [09:11] hi, when i upgraded to hardy heron i got a beta version of firefox 3. was this intended? [09:11] i would like to ask if somebody knows how to change a webcam driver on Ubuntu [09:12] KalEl, yes it is [09:12] DistroJockey, no ctrl alt and arrowkey between desktops, if I do this with effects enabled the game dissapears (but I can still hear it running) and then the only thing to do is kill the process [09:12] the driver that came with 7.10 isn't working properly, and the one in 8.04 works perfect [09:12] i upgraded my computer, but the old driver is still used [09:12] any idea? [09:12] blackjackel: possiblly Viewport Switcher [09:12] KalEl, it's suposed to be upgraded when final release of FF3 will came out [09:13] case_ thanks... so ff guys couldn't keep up with ubuntu :) [09:13] DistroJockey, I tried unchecking that but it still looks fancy (as opposed to effects off, which just switches without any fancy effect) [09:13] KalEl, it seems you still have ff2 available in the repositories if you want to stuck to ff2 [09:13] the firefox is not responding from time to time... that's why i'm concerned [09:13] <`rob> 8 minutes left until i see hardy for the first time :) yay! [09:14] <`rob> i hear it has a kick azz wallpaper [09:14] rob: I'm on wireless and I can connect to the net [09:14] <`rob> :) [09:14] <`rob> amazen720: you can or you can't connect to the net?

[09:15] <`rob> amazen720: we will edit the file manually [09:15] <`rob> amazen720: gimme a sec [09:15] DistroJockey, the only things that have an effect are the desktop wall and expo, but those seem to disable switching all together [09:15] What does a sleeping process mean in Ubuntu? [09:15] DistroJockey, though i just tried desktop plane, that seems different, but still kinda fancy.... gona test to see if it works with the game [09:16] blackjackel: can't really see much that would help. Good luck. [09:16] so, what's a good stable mirror for hardy? [09:16] M0nk3yM4n: a process that's loaded but not used or using cycles [09:16] Hi everyone, I've just reinstalled Ubuntu and installed my graphics card, in 'Hardware Drivers' it says that NVIDIA Accelerated graphics driver (latest cards) is installed and enabled and the status is 'in use'.. yet when I reboot my machine X tells me that Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode.

[09:17] ro [09:17] hi there [09:18] blackjackel: not sure sure. I always get ccsm and customize it how I want [09:18] rob: got all the way to the part --reinstall ubuntu-desktop and got 'E: Unable to fetch archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing', so I did s ifconfig and found out that I wasn't connected to the net [09:18] not sure sorry^ [09:19] <`rob> amazen720: you there?

I once installed Xubuntu 7.10, and it ran, although not very fast. Now I tried a clean install of 8.04 w/alternate cd, but the installation every time hangs at 'detecting network hardware'. Is this perhaps a known bug? [09:37] mercurycc: wish I could help you out. try new speakers? I dunno man. but I mean, not every thing is the fault of your os sometimes [09:37] Mathman: very funny cause when I type "dir" the directory is actually there? [09:37] Linux is case sensitive sa [09:37] <_2> arigs that would be shorter than down load time. [09:37] EFing_A: Hmm.. I dunno what any of that means =D [09:37] I'd love to slowly back my car over an infants face [09:37] and do a burnout [09:37] sa: bash is case sensitive for one thing [09:37] i need to know can i use the google talk o any other voice chat in ubuntu [09:38] ah, packages is back up :-) [09:38] Why isn't Eclipse 3.3 in the repos yet?

[09:44] You should install your nigger differently according to whether you have purchased the field or house model. Field niggers work best in a serial configuration, i.e. chained together. Chain your nigger to another nigger immediately after unpacking it, and don't even think about taking that chain off, ever. Many niggers start singing as soon as you put a chain on them. This habit can usually... [09:44] ...be thrashed out of them if nipped in the bud. House niggers work best as standalone units, but should be hobbled or hamstrung to prevent attempts at escape. At this stage, your nigger can also be given a name. Most owners use the same names over and over, since niggers become confused by too much data. Rufus, Rastus, Remus, Toby, Carslisle, Carlton, Hey-You!-Yes-you!, Yeller, Blackstar,... [09:44] Owing to a design error, your nigger comes equipped with a tongue and vocal chords.

[10:04] makes me so sad because I've spent 3 days trying to get it working now [10:04] stunatra: the clock is connected with Evolution [10:04] <_2> Za1 that's why i sujested trying the nvidia-xconfig with a blank .focn file [10:04] people are already telling me just to return to windows [10:04] I did that _2 [10:04] IntangibleLiquid, heh [10:04] sidewinder: I think you might be missing this line - iface eth0 inet static - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64808/ [10:05] I errased my windows partion [10:05] Za1: ppl are telling me they will stay with ubuntu [10:05] Za1: can you maybe rename xorg.conf to xorg.conf.notworking and then try that sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [10:05] not good....

[10:05] hehe, i'm on my work pc, got rid of vista and got ubuntu working (only my ireless crd) [10:05] <_2> Za1 well. don't go back to windows. maybe try in #xorg or ##linux try a different kernel use vesa if you have to... but don't go back there... :) [10:06] hi [10:06] espham, by following the readme in the tarball [10:06] In the mean time you might want to download norton utilites because it has an un delete program [10:06] how do i set the keyboard shortcut for changing the layout ? neither Shift + Alt nor Alt+Alt are working [10:06] haha yeah, don't wanna but i need my 3d acceleration :) [10:06] i just plugged usb-mic to my system and i nothing happened, but dmesg says this: http://pastebin.com/df6d5fff how can i make that mic working now ? [10:06] so even though youve formatted your disk the files are still there [10:06] I have a friend who's been crying over his vista taking like 20 minutes to start [10:06] microwave: what ver of ubuntu? [10:06] Gidx, layout of what? [10:06] and that program can get most of them back, but only if you get it now [10:06] Bodsda, the keyboard layout [10:06] Whats the command to restart x? [10:07] IntangibleLiquid, sounds like he disabled Readyboot, or whatever it is called. [10:07] absnt: sudo killall gdm && sudo gdm [10:07] absnt: startx? [10:07] <_2> Za1 i hear ya. i don't understand ya, but i hear ya. _2 <-- console user. no gui at all.

[10:09] ive virtualized windows inside ubuntu so ill probably be deleting my windows partition as well [10:09] Gidx, its a little tricky im afraid -- youll have to find out what command is used to change the keyboard country layout then create a hotkey which runs that command [10:09] How do I change which set of graphics get used for the bootup splash and stuff? [10:09] IntangibleLiquid, Vista isn't as bad as people make it out to be. My experience with it was pretty good, considering Windows.

[10:10] Gidx, ok good for u [10:10] Hello, I use 7.10 and can't control my brightness, what should I do? [10:10] Bodsda: related question: is it possible to disable the splash screen? [10:10] apt-cache search virtualbox and youll get a list of packages, one is the kernel modules for virtualbox. install them [10:10] haaaaaaaaaaaaa [10:10] hi i use ubuntu 8.04 and i want to install moblock some body help me? [10:10] yessssssssss [10:11] microwaver, turn on a lamp. [10:11] ok how is that heron? [10:11] zaturno, sudo apt-get install moblock [10:11] anyone got it yet?

[10:11] microwaver, serious. Is this a laptop? [10:11] microwaver: i had the same problem with 7.10. 8.04 makes brightness control better [10:11] Bodsda: where do I find the tarball file? [10:11] stunatra, yes it is. [10:11] Gidx, no but ive done my fair share of networking [10:11] zaturno: start with this one, come back if you encounter problems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock [10:11] Try turning on a lamp.

[10:12] microwaver: I mean that, most of my fn keys are working now [10:12] Bodsda, how do i know if: 1) my system recognizes my WLAN hardware. 2)the firmware is properly installed ? [10:12] microwaver, The brightness in the room can have an effect on the brightness of the screen. [10:12] AussieGuy: how do i install it when i find it please [10:12] At least, in my experience, it's true. [10:12] hi there xrdb command not found !! how fix it on hardy [10:12] go back to 7.10 [10:12] lassegul what is duplex setting? [10:12] stunatra, I know but I can't change dilly squat on it. :) that's my problem. [10:13] apt-get install where packagename is the virtualbox modules package [10:13] Gidx, basically just check these command outputs -- lspci dmesg ifconfig iwconfig [10:13] IntangibleLiquid, some problem for my wirelsss lan card, but that's another problem. [10:13] should look something like virtualbox-modules-2.6.14 or something [10:13] AussieGuy: thank you again [10:13] That sucks then, I have no idea how you'd do it manually. I don't know of any software for Ubuntu that can do accomplish that. Sorry. [10:13] bashca, if you know the command is in the repo's just apt-get it [10:14] ere4si: thanks man. that worked. there was a line missing... [10:14] haven't tested my wireless connection yet but it does detect some WPA wifi around. I just assume it works for me [10:14] ganapati: transfer speed between network devices. i work as support for an ISP, and my experience is that duplex errors is the most common error when the link lamps arent blinking :) [10:14] stunatra, thanks for the help though :) [10:14] sidewinder: great! [10:14] ere4si: but why doesn't the GUI work like it used to? [10:14] Bodsda, Package xrdb is not available, but is referred to by another package. [10:14] IntangibleLiquid, fn + f2 (to enable wireless) does nothing :) [10:14] sidewinder: don't use the gui...

I told it to use custom then typed vlc. I still get asked about totem. Under windows this would be a simple matter of changing mime type handling, but I'm not sure how to do that in Hardy.

[10:22] and is that I see part of the screen [10:22] like smaller [10:22] microwaver: did the network applet say wireless is enabled? [10:22] lassegul: I'm not sure - this is a laptop (3 years old at that), but 367 does seem quite low considering how simple glxgears is [10:22] IntangibleLiquid, how do you mean 'network applet' [10:22] did you ever saw that > [10:22] ?

I dont remember having this problem installing 7.10 but when insgalling 8.4 when the install gui usually come up the screen goes black and my monitor since it can't display this video mod. optimum res 1680x1050. can i change the resolution the install gui runs at? [10:48] Hey, does anybody know why slocate was replaced with locate in hardy? [10:48] __knight: did you use sudo? [10:48] krupa^: read up on how the mothership handles it, it shouldn't be too diff in Ubuntu [10:48] since=says [10:48] I can use the 8.04 iso ( CD ) to upgrade a existing 7.10 install ? [10:48] <__knight> yes, i'm doing it under root [10:48] yes i have all repositories enabled [10:49] but i dont see moblock [10:49] zaturno: then there is not an ubuntu package available. [10:49] zaturno: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager [10:49] <__knight> and I cannot enter synaptic package manager either -.- [10:49] !info moblock [10:49] Package moblock does not exist in hardy [10:49] stupid thinkfinger doesn't work [10:49] zaturno: then there is no package for it === Bodsda is now known as bodhi_zazen [10:50] you see [10:50] __knight: does your user have admin rights then...? [10:50] ubotu> Package moblock does not exist in hardy [10:50] Carbonflux: depends on which CD iso of 8.04 you have. Did you stick it in the drive, if it's the right one it will probably ask if you want to upgrade. [10:50] fooatari you could try pressing f4 at the boot menu and choosing safe vide mode [10:50] <__knight> yes [10:50] ere4si: in /fstab i only have the ext3, swap cdrom& floppy :-s [10:50] yeah just trying that now koshari lol, thanks though :) [10:50] DistroJockey, it is the desktop i386 iso === bodhi_zazen is now known as Bodsda [10:50] zaturno: yes, I see. So the answer to your question is "no you cannot install moblock on amd64 from the ubuntu repo's" [10:50] <__knight> in 7.10 i got a screen with the auth and after that all went nice, since i upgraded most of the things are screwed up [10:50] Does anybody know why slocate was replaced with locate in hardy? Seems like a move in the opposite direction [10:51] DistroJockey, I don't think it had a upgrade option when I booted :| [10:51] immesys: no idea, does it matter ? [10:51] hi everyone [10:51] i just got fglrx drivers for my ATI Radeon Xpress 200. My fretsonfire does not seem o work that well. what tool do I use to benchmark test graphics/3D performance? i'm on edgy [10:51] ikonia: yes, ubuntu is supposed to be secure and locate isn't [10:51] Carbonflux: if you boot into 7.10 then stick the disc in, that may do it [10:51] ikonia so any program like that for amd64 [10:51] ? [10:51] like moblock [10:52] i just installed the 8.04. was using 7.10 before. Now all my data that i had in my home folder in 7.10 is placed as media [10:52] zaturno: not that I'm aware of [10:52] DistroJockey, ok, heh have to figure out how to do that, I am trying it in a virtual box first :) thanks for clues tho [10:52] immesys: log a bug [10:52] it is not integrated with the 8.04 [10:52] immesys: you should get a response from the maintainer which will be fact [10:52] how can i slove this? === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [10:52] or rather, what did i do wrong during installation? cant figure it out [10:53] figuringout: Has it worked OK in the past? That's an integrated GPU which don't generally perform as well as a dedicated solution to begin with not to mention the fglrx drivers don't perform nearly as well as the Windows Catalyst drivers [10:53] ikonia: I wanted to check on irc before I filed a bug, maybe I'll bring it up in ubuntu-devel [10:53] sa: you didn't mount it as /home during the install [10:53] Carbonflux: ahh, no problem. In the root directory of the CD there will be a file called cdromupgrade if the CD supports upgrading [10:53] ere4si: you mean my home directory? [10:53] immesys: rather than get opinions on that, I'd do a bug to get a factual response from the maintainer [10:53] sa: yep [10:53] immesys: on my hardy installation it's actually mlocate, not locate. [10:53] ere4si: true, i only installed and mounted the root [10:53] sa: the partition it resides on [10:54] still no wireless !!! i hate broadcom !! and i wanna throw this stupid HP through the window !!!!!!!!! [10:54] sa: if it is a new install then redo it [10:54] void^: okay, maybe thats why my slocate scripts broke, I just saw that slocate wasn't installed [10:54] ere4si: as in, i formatted the partition where ubuntu is installed on and only mounted that partition [10:54] ere4si: I left swap and /home without mounting [10:55] ere4si: ok, Thanx...again [10:55] sa: just need a change to fstab me thinks [10:55] DistroJockey: which is? [10:55] sa: you need to call the partition that has your /home on it /home during install [10:55] sa: file is: /etc/fstab [10:55] ere4si: yes, ok [10:56] Gidx> what chipset does your wifi nic have? [10:56] sa: there will be an entry for /home [10:56] sa: DistroJockey makes a point - you can remount it in /etc/fstab [10:56] sa: make a backup of that file before changing it ofcourse [10:56] ere4si: so i dont need to resinstall you mean [10:57] Gilou, Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) [10:57] sa: yep [10:57] sa: nope, you just did that :) [10:57] Gilou, i tried every online guide [10:57] nothing is working !

[11:08] Hi, in the program Orka I have seen lots of voices like Macedonian, Russian etc.. My question is in what package are these voices, cause I can't find them as festival-(lang_name), any suggestion ?

How can you tell if you are using the right driver for your hardware? [11:09] DistroJockey: but right now the /home is on /sda1 [11:09] yamas: you have to tell Ubuntu to install grub into the virtual MBR part of the volume, not the beginning of the drive. Once that's done you can use the boot menu in the firmware (and possibly the startup disk control panel in OSX as well, I forget) to boot Ubuntu. It'll still say "Windows" but ignore that. If you don't want to do that, look into installing a third part boot manager such as rEFIt [11:09] me/ and bjames really need help with fglrx [11:09] ricanelite: look at what kernel modules are loaded and matching your hardware, then use google to research opinion on driver options [11:09] ikonia: it just gets info from stdin and should print on the stdout (bad english xD) [11:09] cristi1990: gcc $file then [11:09] cristi1990: gcc -o $file [11:09] sa: hmm, from your fstab, it says sda2 is swap [11:10] okay [11:10] how can I cause apt-get to download all ubuntu sources, and once they are downloaded where are they stored in the filesystem?

[11:12] cky: thank you :) [11:12] LSD|Ninja: even does perl now [11:13] how do I download dev sources for ubuntu, and where are they stored === MidgetARG is now known as MidgetSpy [11:13] http://ircx.forum0.info/ <-- Free downloads , Fun . Tutorials etc.......... plz register :) thanx [11:13] DistroJockey: why are there 2 swaps? [11:13] sa: had another hdd in at the time of install that had a swap [11:14] sa: it's since been removed :) [11:14] hi guys, i need some help on setting up a wireless broadband connection. it's the type where you have to connect then dial via wireless. could anyone help me? thanx. [11:14] DistroJockey: aha...and what does the number UUID stand for? Does it matter that i use your numbers? [11:14] sa: the command blkid will give you the UUID of a device [11:14] how do I download dev sources for ubuntu, and where are they stored on the filesystem [11:14] sa: use sudo blkid though :) [11:15] !uuid | sa [11:15] sa: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [11:15] DistroJockey: so i need to change that number right? === farid is now known as alfredo [11:15] Hello all, what is the replacement kernel paramater for 'ec_intr=0' ?? [11:15] i suck so much, i cant work it out, i cant find out what a " make Install" cammand is and how to use it... :( [11:15] sa: yep, you need to get the right UUID for the device [11:15] aaron if you don't know you shouldn't be trying to use it [11:16] DistroJockey: [11:16] DistroJockey: cool [11:16] aaron444: You need to install build-essential first. [11:16] sa: was that device a previous /home area? [11:16] aaron444: Then run ./configure inside a source directory, then make, then sudo make install [11:16] where is the source code located for hardy [11:16] What is the replacement kernel paramater for 'ec_intr=0' ? [11:16] DistroJockey: Yes, /sda3 was a previous /home [11:16] why is this so hard to find out [11:16] sa: do you have a backup of it elsewhere also? [11:16] gunpuncher: You nee to say what sources you are looking for. [11:17] cky: All sources. [11:17] DistroJockey: No. :) [11:17] gunpuncher: Go to the pool directory in any Ubuntu archive. [11:17] command make is to compile software from source (usually a .bin type file) , aaron444 [11:17] sa: would strongly advise doing so [11:17] Why am I missing the "build" dir in my /lib/modules/2.blah/ dir? I am trying to install my LAN network driver from source and it won't "make clean modules" [11:17] i think i killed the "add software" feature with adding lots of software [11:17] You will find all the .orig.tar.gz files and .diff files that will allow you to get the sources. [11:17] tat a time [11:17] ushi_laptop: what card is it ? [11:17] cky can one get it through synaptic [11:17] gunpuncher: Yes. [11:17] DistroJockey: ok [11:17] how does one do that [11:18] sa: not that this should break it, but, as they say, better to be safe than sorry :) [11:18] gunpuncher: I don't know the synaptic command, but with apt-get, you can use apt-get source. e.g., apt-get source bash [11:18] and once one receives them, where are they stored on the system [11:18] ah [11:18] gunpuncher: The current directory. [11:18] ikonia: it is motherboard...realtek 8168 [11:18] thanks cky [11:18] gunpuncher: Good luck! [11:18] ushi_laptop: the realtek is part of the kernel already is it not ? [11:18] is it possible that after accepting the changes one has to wait for more than five minutes? [11:18] I will dump my package list and get it all [11:18] bjames: did it work out for you? [11:19] I just like having sources :) [11:19] DistroJockey: true. just that i dont really have time to backup the whole /home. My important stuffs are safe though :) [11:19] gunpuncher: You may wish to mirror your archive pool to your local hard drive first. :-) [11:19] How do I backup my home dir to my ntfs drive from the live cd? [11:19] gunpuncher: You can then add file:/// URLs to your /etc/apt/sources.list. [11:19] ikonia: in 7.10 it used the r8169 driver, which i turned off so i could install the r8168 driver which worked properly. on upgrading, i told it to keep my changed files, and now it can not see my LAN [11:19] any people here now a reason why with pidgon .purple doesnt exist? [11:19] hi guys, i need some help on setting up a wireless broadband connection. it's the type where you have to connect then dial via wireless. could anyone help me? thanx. [11:19] d_avid: pidgon? [11:19] ushi_laptop: ah, as you've changed kernel versions. I see [11:19] ssdg: pidgin... [11:20] d_avid: It should. What happened to it? [11:20] i think my firefox plugins are borked in hardy now... after a bit of reinstalling and removing etc, i have ended up using firefox 2 again but installing totem-mozilla or one of the other media plugins doesn't work apparently... firefox: about:plugins only shows my java and flash [11:20] d_avid: did you asked to see the hidden files (ctrl-H) [11:20] !wireless | pwang [11:20] pwang: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:20] ? [11:20] How do I backup my home dir to my ntfs drive from the live cd? [11:20] cky: I just installed it .... wanted to copy my backup to it [11:20] ikonia: right the upgrade has cost me my LAN and NVIDA drivers I think ... if i could get the LAN up, that would be a big help [11:20] cky: but the dir is not there somehow [11:20] can someone tell me the plugin search path for firefox2 ? [11:20] DistroJockey: sudo blkid is not working? [11:20] sa: well, I've never done this before, but making a line like the one I have for my home in your fstab using the right UUID, should do the job [11:20] cky: so ther is no alternate posseblity [11:20] ushi_laptop: can you not use the in kernel driver to get you working ? [11:20] <_julian> hi all [11:20] d_avid: The directory will only exist after you run pidgin the first time. [11:21] ikonia: not sure how to do that? willing to try [11:21] <_julian> are there somewhere ubuntu packages for kernel 2.6.25? [11:21] d_avid: Normally the .purple directory is in your home directory. [11:21] sa: should give a list of UUID's for each device [11:21] DistroJockey: it doesnt...nothing happens except it looks like it is thinking [11:21] DistroJockey: sudo blkid [11:21] cky: I know it should be,... it's ran for the first time... didn't add any accounts tho.. [11:21] How do I backup my home dir to my ntfs drive from the live cd? [11:22] d_avid: Try "cd ~/.purple" and tell me what it says. [11:22] ushi_laptop: just load the module [11:22] sa: mine gives: http://pastebin.com/fad3f579 [11:22] cky: hey.. it exists... I was looking in /home/user/.purple === JapyDooge is now known as Japy|AFK [11:22] DistroJockey: hm [11:23] sa: not sure what's up there [11:23] d_avid: Hahaha. [11:23] DistroJockey: i restarted the terminal. works now .) [11:23] <|Dreams|> my pc keeps crashing and putting me back at the log on screen! :( help [11:23] soory, lost connection [11:23] sa: I ran: sudo blkid | pastebinit [11:23] DistroJockey: :) [11:23] cky: it worked.. thanx! [11:23] sa: ahh :) [11:23] d_avid: No worries. :-) [11:23] hi all, Im trying to get wireless with wep going on an acer 5672WLMi, it works without the wep, but doesnt with. If someone could pm pls. [11:24] my apt-get isnt doing anything than showing the rotating mouse pointer, memory usage 100% ......... nice isn't it? [11:24] nobody who use openvpn with network manager? [11:24] not apt-get, the adding removing function [11:24] <|Dreams|> anyone have any problems with amsn ? everytime i use it the pc crashes and puts me back at the log in screen [11:24] <_julian> actual I suffer under frequent system freezes with 2.6.24, which I hope would be fixed with 2.6.25... [11:24] ikonia: alright, looks like that will work for now at least (sudo modprobe r8169) [11:25] DistroJockey: http://pastebin.com/dd5322c8 [11:25] JaseMelb: Do you have a way to use WPA rather than WEP in your wireless network, by the way? Apparently if you use passphrases with WEP (rather than hex keys), different wireless devices encode that different ways. === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [11:25] aguy2: does this happen every time? or just once? === jantan is now known as uwo [11:25] ushi_laptop: that should get you "working" at least [11:25] ummm... yeah I can [11:25] ushi_laptop: easier to fix with network access [11:25] but it does a weird thing as well [11:25] for i in `dpkg --get-selections | awk {'print $1'}`; do apt-get source $i; doe [11:25] erk === uwo is now known as milo [11:25] I have a netgear adsl modem/router [11:25] lassegul: i installed 8.04 and choose all software i wanted. 15 minutes ago [11:26] first try, but won't kill the process [11:26] JaseMelb: I've never used NetGear as such, so I can't comment specifically, but I have used D-Link and Linksys and they both work well for me with WPA setup. [11:26] ANyone having problems with brightness in 7.10? [11:26] if I plug in with the lan & drop out the wireless encription & then try to connect with wireless it wont work. Nor will it work if I plug the lan cable back in. I actually have to restart the laptop to get the thing to connect to the router again. very odd. [11:26] lassegul: it looks as if it was working [11:27] JaseMelb: How are you connecting using wireless? Via NetworkManager? [11:27] To what extent does hardy suck ? === chand is now known as chand[aw] [11:27] CVirus: 0% [11:27] !love [11:27] Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [11:27] um... I just installed the latest distrib. 8.04. Im using whatever is standard. [11:27] memory back 2 normal [11:27] JaseMelb: My experience with NetworkManager is that it just prompts you for the key and you type it in. Easy. [11:27] gunpuncher: lots of friends say it's really slow [11:27] I can try to change over to WPA security. It really does not matter (truth be told I realise it's better than WEP) [11:27] aguy2: goodie. run it again and see what happens. [11:27] aaah ok [11:27] CVirus: slow in what respect [11:27] JaseMelb: NetworkManager is the thing that looks like a computer screen, on the top-right-hand corner of your screen. [11:28] gunpuncher: slow as in windows vista .. lol [11:28] i'm trying to get ATI fglrx drivers working. my fglrxinfo display Mesa 3D. i need to change it, 3D acc sucks currently. any help? [11:28] gunpuncher: even with special effects disabled [11:28] "as in windows vista ... lol" in what respect [11:28] apparently there is a bunch of software i have to install first before i try to build anything else... is there a list of the general things i need? [11:28] cancelling is not a problem? [11:28] thanks for your help. My girlfriend is hooked on using it for studies. I'll give the WPA thing a go later === Ordius is now known as DarkW0lf [11:28] DistroJockey: do you know what the SEC_TYPE"EXT 2" stands for? [11:28] then they are noobs. [11:28] I'm using 8.04 I have a D-link DWL-G122 usb wireless card And it doesn't seem to be recognized. Any help? [11:28] JaseMelb: Sure thing! [11:28] gunpuncher: cpu spikes happen all the time and some laptops over heat [11:28] I dont think I have network manager then [11:28] JaseMelb: Can you take a screen shot of your desktop and send it somewhere? [11:28] JaseMelb: I would do the same here, but my NetworkManager crashed. :-( [11:28] if cpu spikes happen, they need to figure out what process is causing the cpu to spike. [11:29] its frustrating. Because it is the only thing to get going. Everything else has worked straight out of the box. [11:29] sa: lowlevel partition type I assume [11:29] It really is a great os. [11:29] my guess is it would be the indexer, which I don't like [11:29] sa: I guess yours should look like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64814/ [11:29] <__knight> I hate ubuntu 8.04 -.- [11:29] see ? [11:29] __knight: why ? [11:29] JaseMelb: Yeah, with NetworkManager wireless access is really easy, it just sometimes crashes, and I hope it's not what's been happening to you. [11:29] aguy2: not a big problem. sudo apt-get -f install usually solves problemes like that. [11:29] <__knight> i cannot replace coreutils [11:29] <__knight> cannot see the crash report [11:29] Can't get my wireless working on 7.10 [11:29] <__knight> nothing [11:29] __knight: Why would you want to do that? [11:30] btw: ubuntu 8.04 is the first distro that really works out of the box for my hp-pavillion dv 6012. i spent months for nothing, till now. THANKS TO HARDY HERON [11:30] <__knight> well its a dist upgrade [11:30] lassegul: ill try ... ty [11:30] a nice one [11:30] suckitude for noobs decreases with every dist upgrade, but there is always going to be a learning curve [11:30] aguy2: np :) [11:30] aguy2: Yes, it's nice, isn't it? I can now use my Compaq Presario laptop without it crashing all the time, on 8.04. [11:30] personally, I had 0 problems whatever with it [11:30] <__knight> looks like i'll have to install it from scratch [11:30] but then I had 0 problems previously. [11:30] DistroJockey: yes, that is what i changed it to. just wanted to make sure if i needed the ext2 also added [11:31] I'm using 8.04 I have a D-link DWL-G122 usb wireless card And it doesn't seem to be recognized. Any help? [11:31] sa: nope [11:31] ndistwrapper [11:31] got the same problem with a ... tada : broadcom in 7.10 [11:31] akonkwa_: USB wireless keys are generally not well supported. You might have luck with ndiswrapper, but maybe not. [11:31] or whatever the current name is [11:31] why my comp claims that it cannot recognize nvidia card allthought i have installed restricted drivers [11:31] cky, my monitor in work doesnt resolution-bitch anymore :) it is great [11:31] gunpuncher: Yes, that. [11:31] DistroJockey: ok, restarting the comp now. cross your fingers. i will...really hard haha [11:31] MSameerWork: done with it 7'alas .. hehe [11:31] * DistroJockey crosses his fingers [11:31] aguy2: That's always a bonus. :-) [11:32] its mucho more usable now [11:32] DistroJockey: brb to tell you what happened [11:32] akonkwa_: You will want to read help.ubuntu.com and search for help with ndiswrapper. [11:32] Any broadcom wireless card 'users' here? [11:32] sa: cool. break a leg [11:32] cky , thanks , I'll try that [11:32] microwaver: Yes. [11:32] microwaver: I am [11:32] cky, does it work ? [11:32] akonkwa_: depends on the revision of the device - they come with various different chipsets. see http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list_c-f/ [11:32] microwaver: Using b43, not ndiswrapper. [11:32] slytherin, does yours work? [11:32] microwaver: I'm using it right now. [11:33] microwaver: yes, using b43 driver. Of course you will need the firmware [11:33] cky, just dsudo-apt-get install b43, and sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper [11:33] microwaver: I used the backported b43 driver from http://wireless.kernel.org/ [11:33] microwaver: Not quite. [11:33] microwaver: Read that site. It will help you. :-) [11:33] cky, thank you sir :) [11:33] CVirus: I'm still waiting for the explanation of why your friends think 8.04 is slow [11:33] microwaver: The firmware that slytherin mentions is also linked to from that site. [11:34] microwaver: No worries. :-P [11:34] cky, because at the moment ist is looked at like a USB controller thingy [11:34] works for me perfectly fine on multiple hardware [11:34] microwaver: If your Broadcom device is actually a USB, you may not have luck. Just beware. [11:34] microwaver: My Broadcom is Mini-PCIe. [11:34] gunpuncher: will ask my friends first [11:34] cky, how to check :D [11:34] but then I never install indexers [11:34] microwaver: no, b43 is driver, it is not a package. you will need to install package b43-fwcutter which downloads and extracts firmware. the package is in universe [11:34] microwaver: Try lspci and see if Broadcom is listed. Then try lsusb. [11:34] cvirus: how long have they been using unix [11:35] void^, thanx [11:35] gunpuncher: a couple of days [11:35] whats better? remove/add software or synaptic. or is there equality? [11:35] cky, can I send the output to you? [11:35] microwaver: Use your local pastebin. :-) [11:35] !pastebin [11:35] 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) [11:35] slytherin, i'll check that site cky sent me. :) [11:35] aguy2: synaptic is more advanced. add/remove is for newbies [11:35] cky, 05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller (rev 01) [11:35] 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) [11:35] 08:01.0 Generic system peripheral [0805]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSP [11:36] im having problems with network-scanning since installing HardyHeron, suggestions?

[11:36] microwaver: the instructions on the site might be confusing if you have never done it before. It was the case for me. IMHO, fwcutter is an easier way [11:36] CVirus: so you would repeat the opinion of people who have used unix for a couple of days? [11:36] can someone explain the right way to get WPA working when the machine boots? (ie I don't want to enter a password in network manager) [11:36] slytherin: fwcutter is required, but that site is required if your card is 4311/4312 rev2. === craig_ is now known as openstandards [11:36] slytherin: As mine is. [11:36] slytherin, the package you mentioned? [11:37] hey cky, any reason why the wep code isnt working since I know it is the same as in winxp? [11:37] microwaver: yes [11:37] just curious [11:37] ubuntu is far, far faster than vista on equivalent hardware, the fact that anyone would compare the two is hilarious [11:37] I'm struggling to share a printer between two hardy systems. one is Kubuntu w/printer the other is Ubuntu. It used to 'just work'. Now broken. Can anybody help please? [11:37] oddar: what kind of network scanning? === ubuntu_ is now known as dirpoal [11:37] gunpuncher: I'm talking about 8.04 [11:37] gunpuncher: the fact that you'd make that statment is hilarious [11:37] gunpuncher: I used ubuntu myself for over a year [11:37] gunpuncher: can't deny the fact that binary distros suck big time .... anyways [11:37] cky, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64818/ [11:37] Dar1us: Yes. Give me a sec, I have done this before. [11:37] gunpuncher: I'm recommending ubuntu for all my friends [11:37] ikonia: you think vista is faster than ubuntu? [11:38] JaseMelb: Umm, I actually don't have a ready answer, sorry, but the first thing I'd do is Google. :-) [11:38] gunpuncher: and suddenly 2-3 of them started complaining about hardy ... which is weird [11:38] microwaver: Thanks. :-) [11:38] gunpuncher: thats not what I said, but it can be, it can be slower, it depends on the users needs and setup [11:38] cvirus yes that is strange. [11:38] ikonia: why is my statement hilarious to you [11:38] gunpuncher: true [11:38] gunpuncher: because it's subjective, but this is offtopic [11:38] cvirus most likely the processor spikes are caused by the indexer [11:39] ikonia: why did you bring it up [11:39] gunpuncher: I didn't mean to, I was on auto pilot [11:39] how to give write permission to a folder which is in a vista computer connected through lan [11:39] Dar1us: First read /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README.Debian [11:39] gunpuncher: is that something new added to hardy ? [11:39] hi everyone [11:39] no it's been around for a while [11:39] Dar1us: You will then need to set up a file, mode 600 owned by root, with your WPA-PSA key. [11:39] slytherin, can't seem to get the package b43-fwcutter [11:39] cky: i don't have that readme :( [11:39]

[11:40] hello [11:40] cky: well.. I don't :) [11:40] cky, anything usefull in the output? [11:40] Dar1us: Debian (and therefore Ubuntu) doesn't involved editing wpa_supplicant.conf. [11:40]

[11:42] ere4si any idea why? [11:42] I have the drivers but cannot install them, it says i need to be logged in as root [11:42] garu: it is firefox that uses your cpus? [11:42] Dar1us: No, it doesn't. The wireless config stuff is listed in the README.Debian file I mentioned. But I'll tell you what. [11:42] !hi | ecc` [11:42] ecc`: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:42] whenever i try to use system > Screen Reso ubuntu says it doesnt support randr extensions to gnome [11:42] how do i fix this ? [11:42] Hello. I want to run the livecd via PXE netboot. Is this possible? [11:42] the issue is that i never installed a root password! nor do i know how to log in as root [11:42] how to give write permission to a folder which is in a vista computer connected through LAN [11:42] doesn't anybody share a printer on Ubuntu? [11:42] Dar1us: Give me two minutes for me to mount my gutsy system, and I'll pastebin you my working config. [11:42] cky: argh sorry [11:43] WindowsNoob: use sudo or gksudo to run commands as root [11:43] cky: I must have fucked up entering the path, this keyboard I am using sucks [11:43] microwaver: Can you? How? :-) [11:43] cky: found it now :) [11:43] ganu: you'll need to do that on the vsita machine due to it being share psermissions [11:43] Dar1us: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:43] Dar1us: that language is uncalled for [11:43] Dar1us: Hahahaha. [11:43] but i dont know my root password? [11:43] Dar1us: please don't use offensive language [11:43] i never typed one in! [11:43] WindowsNoob: you don't need to know your root password [11:43] WindowsNoob: use sudo [11:43] lassegul yep, because I got the system monitor opened, and if I kill firefox, it goes down to 10%, but as soon as I open it, it fires up to 80/90%. [11:43] whenever i try to use system > Screen Reso ubuntu says it doesnt support randr extensions to gnome [11:43] !sudo > WindowsNoob [11:43] ok [11:43] garu: I know ubuntu changes some things in firefox - what I don't know - and the one from mozilla is supposed to be less resource hungry [11:43] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:43] WindowsNoob: don't install drivers you downloaded from website. [11:43] how do i fix this ? [11:43] where is that? [11:43] cky: although a working config would be appreciated.. [11:43] WindowsNoob: read the message from ubotu in a private message [11:43] well how do i install drivers for 8800? [11:44] cky, i'm using ubuntu 7.10 on my work laptop, I'm a desktop engineer on Microsoft level :p (working at governmental customer) so we're all kinda MS minded here. asides for me. [11:44] WindowsNoob: calm down, read the message from ubotu [11:44] WindowsNoob: Open System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. Does it say that you need any additional drivers? [11:44] run firefox from terminal, does it say anything out of the ordinary? [11:44] Can anyone help me installing heron on a macbook? [11:44] DistroJockey: am ok... am back because i need some clarification... what are the commands to extract and install screensavers that are in the .tar.bz format? [11:44] DistroJockey: one file is in the tar.bz2 format and the second is in the .tar.gz format [11:44] oops [11:44] was i disconnected? [11:44] thx cky. Im going to log into ubuntu & see if I have anymore luck [11:44] noob-africa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:44] I think canonical should really consider work on the distro a little bit more than 6 months and get it sorted out, if they really want to go enterprise, its just too problematic to replaced the crappy windows! [11:45] garu: thats offtopic here [11:45] now add Release.gpg for hardy ...? [11:45] cky, don't want to be a an arse, but which one should I choose. since I have a 43xx thingy, there is only a product list from 1180 - 1450. [11:45] hardy is fab - i would like to pubically thank the devel team [11:45] garu this sounds like a personal problem [11:45] noob-africa: ahh, good question. Nope, not disconnected, lagged maybe. [11:45] Hi, can someone tell me the benefits of upgrading to the newest ubuntu? [11:45] are you running any firefox extensions [11:45] when I insert a 8.04 CD into a 7.10 install it run symantec, at that point I am not sure what to do to upgrade, should I just select mark all upgrades ? that does not seem right really [11:45] smmagic: long term support, version udates/fixes [11:45] i am installing 8.04 final relase, it froze at 94%, when i installed 8.04rc, it did not freeze. it says 'configuring hardwre'. i did it twice and still freeze [11:45] now add Release.gpg for hardy ...? [11:45] Dar1us: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64820/ [11:45] bluecake: you tried installing rc and updating? [11:45] microwaver: Hahaha, nice for showing your colleagues! [11:45] anything new then, ikonia ? [11:46] lassegul how do I run it from the terminal? [11:46] Carbonflux: yes, mark all upgrades [11:46] microwaver: Let me get back to you about the 43xx. [11:46] thanks slytherin [11:46] cky: thanks [11:46] is there somewhere else I can go to get help with sharing a printer? [11:46] cky, thanks a billion. and a half [11:46] zaggy-nl, no, updating rc good idea? [11:46] Heron fails to boot when installation is complete on macbook [11:46] DistroJockey: i was disconnected... my EtherNet cable was unplugged accidentally [11:46] noob-africa: most .tar.gz/2 files have instructions in them and right clicking and choosing extract usually will get the files out) [11:46] hi! In what channel can I find info about how to configure wifi and Ethernet Lan in Windows? [11:46] noob-africa: ahh, hehe [11:46] microwaver: Your PSK file should be root-owned, mode 600. Containing your preshared key. [11:46] zaggy-nl, i rather install final release than rc [11:46] garu: open terminal - type in firefox [11:46] slytherin: Using "network"-aplet under System-> admin [11:46] garu: or is it firefox-3.0 ? try [11:47] Dar1us: Your PSK file should be root-owned, mode 600. Containing your preshared key. [11:47] The feel of this chan is so great [11:47] fred88: try /join #windows [11:47] why does downloading of files take so long to start? [11:47] microwaver: Sorry, wrong post. :-P Will get the info for you now. [11:47] fred88: ##windows [11:47] Everyone is helping eveyrone else [11:47] bluecake: Indeed, I would feel the same, but it's hard if final won't install at all :( [11:47] gunpuncher not really, because I've been using ubuntu for a long time now, and I'v actually been praying for them to get it right, because I like linux, and I think windows is just...a big commercial CRAP. [11:47] oddar: What do you exactly want to do? Did you click 'Unlock' button? [11:47] cky, take your time :) [11:47] garu: this is offtopic here [11:47] smmagic: indeed :) [11:47] WindowsNoob: serevrs are overloaded [11:48] DistroJockey: is there a special way to install screensavers or are they installed automatically by following the (if present) instructions? [11:48] garu is it just firefox that spikes your processors [11:48] and are you running any firefox extensions [11:48] but can someone tell me some worthile new features with 8.04? [11:48] ikonia true [11:48] noob-africa: honestly never tried [11:48] I have a very low end PC [11:48] why are they running a 386 then :)? [11:48] smmagic: package updates, bug fixes, long term support [11:48] microwaver: problem with b43 wifi? [11:48] gunpuncher yep.just firefox [11:48] smmagic: try running xfce or windowmaker [11:48] zaggy-nl, it locks up =( mouse wont' move, keyboard can't cancel [11:48] microwaver: Can I get you to run lspci -n -s 05:00.0 [11:48] garu: there's been a few people questioning firefoxes' cpu usage in here lately [11:48] blue-frog i'm at http://wireless.kernel.org/ and don't really know witch to choose :) [11:48] slytherin: I want do do what i did in GutsyGibbon: unlock it, activate the Wlan, and just click on the listbox to check avalible wlans: i don't see any networks. I have to know the name of the network and type it in manually [11:48] Its good enough to run ubuntu, I mean [11:48] garu: try removing it and reinstalling. FF3 in particular is kind of crappy in this respect [11:48] garu: did you ever try to raise on appropriate channels/lists? Adn as it has been mentioned to you twice already, it is off topic here. This is support channel. [11:48] cky: yep, not working tho.. just in plain? not encoded anyway? [11:49] But its not fancy enough to run something like compiz [11:49] noob-africa: happy to try if you have a link for me :) [11:49] zaggy-nl, i even reburn cdrw. [11:49] I am getting more and more offended with firefox [11:49] cky: how do I debug it? what does the WPA? [11:49] ere4si: one of the prices of pushing beta products into "stable" system release.s [11:49] when i see it with PM, it seems internal error. partition table errors. [11:49] cky, 05:00.0 0280: 14e4:4315 (rev 01) [11:49] hmm my upgrade from feisty to hardy did throw some error towards the end, (plucker and update-manager related) and the update-manager displays this in a terminal that I ran it from at the end: "current dist not found in meta-release file" (twice) [11:49] lassegul nah...,nothing out of the ordinary when run firefox from the terminal [11:49] Dar1us: Are you using passphrase or hex-key? Let me find out how to do passphrase.... [11:49] microwaver: Thanks. [11:49] garu but this is not a ubuntu problem, it's a firefox problem [11:49] DistroJockey: ok... in a minit [11:49] How can I resize the desktop icons to a size that allows me to view all my desktop contents on 1280x1024? It's ridiculous, how big these are. [11:49] ikonia: that's recognized here :) [11:49] Any idea what gives, or a pointer to a bug report of this sort? [11:49] gunpuncher, Why? [11:49] cky, so I think I need to take the Wireless 1450 (802.11a/b/g) Dual-Band WLAN miniPCI Card :) [11:49] gunpuncher, what wrong ffox? [11:50] slytherin: did u answr, i dropped out for a second... [11:50] get opera :P [11:50] slytherin well, it was mentioned that is offtopic once, and I said yeah, but I didnt say anything else :o! [11:50] smmagic: why is it a firefox problem? Because firefox is 3rd party software and you don't get cpu spike except within firefox. [11:50] DistroJockey: try -> http://www.linuxhotbox.com/fun/Linux%20screensavers%201.htm [11:50] bluecake: but the cd check comes out fine right? the one from the ubuntu setup menu [11:50] try running opera and see if that fixes the problem [11:50] oddar: Ok. I suggest that you better use network manager. First put your wlan interface in roaming mode. After that there is an applet in the panel which will show you available wlan networks (you need to click on the applet). [11:50] opera is really good [11:50] can somebody point me to the documentation for hardy? [11:50] gunpuncher, i get offended when new IE runs damn slow on the same machine [11:50] gunpuncher humn...yeah, probably! [11:50] when i see my harddrives with PM, it seems internal error. partition table errors. [11:50] gunpuncher: ubuntu makes changes to firefox [11:50] microwaver: Let me see.... [11:50] * slytherin away for a while [11:50] Would anyone happen to know if there is an AWN Applet package yet for Ubuntu? [11:51] zaggy-nl, no, i didn't do sum check on the setup menu [11:51] ere: that may be the case but similar issues appear on all platforms since early FF === dirpoal is now known as odric88 [11:51] garu: ok. then install firefox 2 and use that instead. firefox 3 beta 5 is very stable for 99% of the users, but it still is beta softwar [11:51] Hey, has wubi become officially supported? [11:51] zaggy-nl, not likely the prob [11:51] noob-africa: going with BlockTube as a test [11:51] smmagic: yes [11:51] cky: WPA-PSK [11:51] Thats good. [11:51] microwaver: I assume you tried /system/administration/hardware drivers already? [11:51] Nice program [11:51] Dar1us: wpa_supplicant does the WPA in the end. [11:51] cky: I am surprised I don't need a WPA supplicant [11:51] Hi, how do you get around the exception emask error I've ot a new comp and it refuses to install I've reburnt the image onto a cdr, i've disabled sata in the bios i've also tried booting the live cd up and pressing F6 then doing noapic acpi=off [11:51] cky: OK [11:51] slytherin: that is the problem: the enabling roaming mode checkbox isn't where it used to be.... how do i activate it. And i don't have the network-shortcut in my panel. [11:51] out [11:51] Dar1us: The interfaces stuff is just a Debian-friendly wrapper around it. [11:51] blue-frog, not totally following you there. :) [11:51] cky: right [11:51] lassegul yeah, I just started doing that....I'll wait a bit more for the 3 one! [11:52] cky: and /etc/init.d/networking restart will restart it, correct? [11:52] lassegul maybe it'll get better after some updates [11:52] microwaver: on your menubar click system/administration/hardware drivers [11:52] microwaver: What, you don't seem to have the 1450!! Are you just referring to a card you'd like to have? :-) [11:52] What is the process that contains the GtkFileChooserDialog called? Whenever I try to save documents the applications using it freezes. [11:52] * smmagic pats all the ubunut torrent seeders on the back :p [11:52] Dar1us: I usually just do ifdown wlan0; ifup wlan0 [11:52] noob-africa: hmm, that seems to be for xscreensaver (don't think that will work well) [11:52] Dar1us: that will restart the networking [11:53] cky, no, the one I have in my system [11:53] Were there any updates (security or recommended) after the release of hardy? [11:53] DistroJockey: oh, ok then... thanks [11:53] over and out [11:53] cky: OK [11:53] blue-frog. don't go a Hardware Drivers sections under there :) [11:53] microwaver: I see no 1450 in your pastebinned lspci output.... [11:53] noob-africa: I could be wrong though [11:53] cky, what kinda then? [11:53] DaBeowulf nope, not yet [11:54] Oh that's god then, thanks. [11:54] hey guys, does the latest ubuntu have problems with the nivida 8000 series [11:54] im kinda losing my patience here, is there NO WAY to resize the desktop icons? [11:54] *good [11:54] microwaver: Heh. You must have one of those brand-spanking-new (or just different) Broadcom ones that the b43 doesn't list as supported. :-( [11:54] ubutom: right click and read [11:54] microwaver: So then, ndiswrapper will be your solution. [11:54] blue-frog do you mean Hardware Information? [11:54] ubutom, lol, right click, expand [11:54] Someone? [11:54] ubutom: what do you get when you right click them [11:54] !ask | smmagic [11:54] smmagic: 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. :-) [11:54] microwaver: ndiswrapper uses your Windows wireless driver to do the work. So the first step is to download the Windows wireless driver for your laptop. [11:55] I already asked [11:55] ubutom: Right click the icon and choose Stretch Icon? [11:55] No one answered [11:55] cky, argh :) where can U see what the name of my card is. because if I google my Vostro 1000 DELL I get 3 crds. [11:55] garu: it probably will, but in the meantime, yuo cant have a browser taht uses 90% of your cpu. try epiphany, its a good browser, default for gnome. [11:55] i dont have this option.... [11:55] cky, got that already [11:55] microwaver: if you are using ubuntu 8.04, you should have a menu called "hardware drivers" if running 7.10 then it is restricted drivers [11:55] smmagic: Have you installed nvidia-glx-new? [11:55] Its not a problem for me [11:55] smmagic, ask over and over again, hehe, it is busy [11:55] My friend just wants to know if it has any problems [11:55] blue-frog, it is not listed in Restricted Drivers, I'm running 7.10 [11:55] ubutom: odd, you are running a Gnome desktop? [11:55] dmesg [11:55] I got a old nvidia vanta :p [11:56] lassegul yeah...do u think version 2.0 wont do?does epiphany supports divx? :s [11:56] Works like a charm under ubunutu [11:56] yes, I have this option, but its NOT what I meant. So there is no way to tell gnome to use icons less big globally? [11:56] microwaver: 1. The 4310 is a sign. 2. Your PCI ID 14e4:4315 says it's a "4315" (whatever that is), which sadly is not 4311 or any of the others the b43 page lists. :-( [11:56] cky, oh well. muphy is after me once more [11:56] insmod, is that for the hardware name, [11:56] does anyone know the package name for ncurses library ? [11:56] Lokii-: ncurses and ncurses-dev [11:56] microwaver: using ndiswrapper should work then (using your windows drivers to make it run under linux) [11:57] The thing I want to have is, that all files and folders on my desktop dont have that big icons, so that I can watch the content, I have 1280x1024, there should be enough space for a few files... [11:57] !info libncurses [11:57] thanks ikonia [11:57] Package libncurses does not exist in hardy [11:57] garu: i think firefox 2 will do. but epiphany handles divx in the same way firefox does (does very well), calls in totem to play it for you. [11:57] sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1-9 and ndiswrapper-common ? [11:57] Dar1us: Have you any luck so far? [11:57] it list all that the linux kernel picks up [11:57] microwaver: I believe so, however I have never used ndiswrapper and can't comment. [11:57] ere4si: they changed the name [11:57] heh [11:57] shouldnt such an option be under "appearance", e.g.? But it isnt :-/ [11:58] lassegul humn...I didnt even know about this browser, I only knew about opera and firefox.lol!thanks man, I'll give it a go ;) [11:58] microwaver: yes [11:58] garu: good luck. [11:58] lassegul thanks ;) [11:59] cky: nope [11:59] blue-frog let's try that once more. [11:59] I installed some video card drivers from the default ubuntu application, but when i boot my pc I get a black screen and nothing happens. It is right before where the log in screen should appear. How can I use again my ubuntu? where do I find ATI radeon sapphire x1550 drivers? [11:59] insmod, thank you. [11:59] cky: having trouble finding up to date documentation :( [11:59] Hello, every time during boot, I get an error message along the lines of "kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot". Is this something I should be worried about? I have no problems with the installation, everything works, just kind of an annoying message. [11:59] Dar1us: Okay. Paste-bin your /etc/network/interfaces if you like, and I'll step you through. The wpa_supplicant-on-interfaces documentation is non-existent to my knowledge, but don't quote me on that. [11:59] fgxhh [11:59] thats pretty frustrating... [12:00] Dar1us: I worked out the setting by looking at the /etc/wpa_supplicant/*.sh scripts. [12:00] norbi, no that's normal it basically means that your system has not been suspended, and therefore isn't restoring a suspended image [12:00] OK [12:00] its not like wanting less big icons is such an uncommon thing, is it? [12:00] ubutom: this may help: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/susenovell-60/desktop-icon-size-in-gnome-configurable-381182/ [12:00] ubutom: it is [12:00] norbi, at least that's always been my take on it o.O [12:01] slytherin: that is the problem: the enabling roaming mode checkbox isn't where it used to be.... how do i activate it. And i don't have the network-shortcut in my panel. [12:01] Fritzel, very well, makes sense :) Thank you [12:01] thx DistroJockey [12:01] unable to install geforce fx 5200 card drivers [12:01] hello [12:01] hey cky [12:01] ubutom: no problem. Hope it does the job. [12:01] its all working [12:01] JaseMelb: Heya! [12:01] for some reason the networking tools program was not saving the wep password [12:02] managed to get it to somehow [12:02] some minor minor bug, not sure [12:02] JaseMelb: Congrats! [12:02] anyone else found it's now impossible to stop hardy automounting usb keys in Hardy? [12:02] anyhow on now [12:02] it used to be easy :( [12:02] virus92: when the black screen appears, press alt ctrl F1 and it will dump you into a shell. there type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg , and it should reconfigure your x. then type in sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [12:02] is there a german channel ,too? [12:02] thanks a tonne :) [12:02] got fglrx ATI drivers via ENVY. my fglrxinfo says Mesa. I need to remove these and get *real* 3D drivers. how do I go about doing that? [12:02] pawan: why? [12:02] JaseMelb: Good stuff, hope you do get it to save it so you have an always-working connection! [12:02] does medibuntu still work in hardy? [12:02] ikonia, Package ncurses is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package ncurses has no installation candidate [12:02] !de | boomba [12:02] boomba: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [12:02] my machine alaways runs in low graphics mode [12:02] thx [12:02] !se [12:02] Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [12:03] yeah, fingers crossed [12:03] i enabled the restricted drivers still [12:03] does xchat have an option for using notify-send on highlight?

I remember that I was able to select icon size in another distro, dunno what it was, mandriva, or maybe it was with kde, dunno. anyway, if you are sitting on an laptop with 1024x768, for example, and ubuntu uses 50px big icons, I think many people would want to resize it global. its a common option in my view... [12:03] lassegul, ty il try this [12:03] Hi ! Are you getting system updates for 8.04 ?

[12:05] wheres the docs for hardy? when I start firefox that is the only thing im finding for hardy if i click any of the links i get docs for gutsy [12:06] can anyone explain why would a raid array (motherboard integrated SB600 -- promise bios?) show up as two disk under ubuntu server 8.04 please ? [12:06] Does anybody have issues with their Wifi connection with Linux on the PS3? For that matter, even problems with a wired connection? Im experiencing both. Apparently the Wifi issues is down to the 2.0 firmware upgrade? Can anybody shed some more light on this please? Would be greatly appreciated! [12:06] Dar1us: I don't have Atheros so I use the default wext driver. :-P [12:06] cky: ahh [12:06] What program would have msn and irc? [12:06] lllegal: it's not a real raid? [12:06] Ginetteann, PS3 is my expertise :P [12:06] lartza_: Pidgin [12:06] I don't know how to use irc with pidgin [12:06] cky: I am used to FreeBSD, in that you don't specify it as the drivers all expose the same interface to userland, so it was a problem I had not anticipated :) [12:06] If its just a 2.00 firmware problem try updating to 2.30 then [12:06] smmagic, thank the Lord! [12:06] cky, You're not the only one hoping :) [12:06] IM glad it worked, but I still say, this option could be included in appearance settings for gnome. Most users won't look in nautilus for it [12:06] Finally somebody who may be able to help. [12:07] microwaver: you're ok with ndis or need help? [12:07] smmagic, pm okay? [12:07] mhm [12:07] Dar1us: I used to remember how it worked in FreeBSD, too. :-) [12:07] Someone, please... the release-candidate 8.04 version upgrades itself to the final one, or is it reinstalling a better option? [12:07] DistroJockey: hey [12:07] DistroJockey: Any other since I don't know how to use irc in Pidgin? [12:07] sa: wb! [12:07] Dar1us: But I've been on Linux for a while now and forgot how things like wpa_supplicant worked in FreeBSD. :-P [12:07] lartza_: xchat is so much better for irc [12:07] lartza_: not that I know of, sorry [12:07] blue-frog just did 'install it' ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-utils-1-9 do I need the modules as well? [12:07] DistroJockey: i cannot retrieve the old /home folder again :( [12:07] microwaver: All the best! [12:07] sa: how'd you go? [12:08] DistroJockey: 35 gb of data is gone [12:08] sa: :( [12:08] cky, thanks for all the help tho! [12:08] ere4si: I know, but I don't mind having not so good prog... [12:08] microwaver: :-) [12:08] cky: heh [12:08] DistroJockey: hehehe. just kiddin. It all went fine [12:08] microwaver: /join #bluefrog will be esaier for 2 minutes [12:08] sa: ;) [12:08] Ginetteann, You there? [12:08] sa: smoothly? [12:08] cky: FYI: ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf + a wpa_supplicant.conf:) [12:08] sa: well done... [12:08] Yeah im Pming now. [12:08] Not showing up on mine [12:08] void^, it's not external card raid card thats correct, but it shows up under winblows as a single disk so why would it not under ubuntu and/or how to get the same functionality under linux then ? [12:08] DistroJockey: yeah. i just need to reinstall all the additional programs i had in 7.10 [12:09] Dar1us: Very handy. :-) I loved how you could configure everything in /etc/rc.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf. :-) [12:09] Ginetteann, Your nick is registered right? [12:09] DistroJockey: they are installed on the root right? [12:09] lllegal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fakeraid#Firmware.2Fdriver_based_RAID_.28.22fake_RAID.22.29 [12:09] blue-frog, see you there :) [12:09] !fakeraid | lllegal [12:09] lllegal: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [12:09] sa: yep [12:09] Dar1us: I'm not all that familiar with FreeBSD but have used OpenBSD for many years. [12:09] DistroJockey: yeah. and i formatted the root so the programs are gone [12:09] I have 7.10 atm, if I install 8.04, will it keep all my data? [12:09] sa: setting would be in /home still though [12:09] thanks, I'll do some reading [12:09] * smmagic coughs [12:09] DistroJockey: what setting? [12:10] Ginetteann, You need a registered nick to PM [12:10] Hi, how do you get around the exception emask error I've ot a new comp and it refuses to install I've reburnt the image onto a cdr, i've disabled sata in the bios i've also tried booting the live cd up and pressing F6 then doing noapic acpi=off [12:10] sa: any program settings you had for programs you installed [12:10] openstandards: did you do the md5 check on the cd? [12:10] DistroJockey: so you mean i should be able to retrieve them through /home? [12:11] sa: in the system you were running when that /home was being used that is :) [12:11] * smmagic coughs again [12:11] Ginetteann, Helloooo [12:11] I do? [12:11] sa: .mozilla in /home will still have bookmarks etc [12:11] yes [12:11] Dar1us: I did get iwi working with wpa_supplicant on FreeBSD for a while, though, so my comments were based on that experience. [12:11] just join #snortfloop [12:11] smmagic, serious? How do i go about registering? [12:11] ere4si: yes [12:12] Hi ! I use VNC on my local network for remote access from vista to ubuntu ; it is quite slow ; is there an alternative please ? [12:12] Hreno: as long as you upgrade from within ubuntu you will keep your files and folders. [12:12] its /ns register [12:12] Someone could help? Pidgin crashes on /join (isrc usage) [12:12] ere4si: the bookmarks are fine. but all the programs are gone [12:12] can i use live cd to boot, and tell ubuntu to use /dev/sda2/ubuntu.iso instead of using the cdrom drive? i think there might be problem with my cdrom drive [12:12] Thanks [12:12] ere4si, afraid so [12:12] cky: ahh [12:12] just join #snortfloop [12:12] if you upgrade with a clean install, its a little bit more complicated, but no problem really. [12:12] lassegul: I wish to install out of ubuntu, aka burn cd and install [12:12] sa: they weren't installed in /home of course [12:12] cky: it has improvied for the better these days, nice and unified (Thanks for Sam Leffler) [12:13] Hreno: do you know if your home folder is on a seperate partition? [12:13] Dar1us: Sam Leffler! Oh, so he travels in these circles, now, huh? (I always remember him as the libtiff person.) [12:13] sa: well, I'm happy you got your old home mounted. Never done that myself, so I'm glad it worked :) [12:13] lassegul: I think I did /, /home and /swap [12:13] cky, sorry to bother you again, but what was my card again :)? is it the Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Wi-Fi Internal Card ? [12:13] Dar1us: Or maybe I'm thinking of the wrong person. :-P [12:14] I wonder if anyone has every rickroll'd the chan [12:14] woot:O [12:14] microwaver: Um, no. :-P [12:14] sa: it's taken a while - did you have to reinstall? [12:14] cky: hmm could be, he gets around and is pretty clever :) [12:14] cky, will search on the support.dell.com [12:14] Hreno: thats smart, now you just remember to not wipe out the /home partition when you install, and remember to select it as mount point /home. [12:15] ere4si: sa: yeah, I was getting worried there [12:15] Dar1us: Sam Leffler was indeed the originator of libtiff (when I was trying to Google to check my claim, I accidentally typed libtifff and came up with 0 results. :-P) [12:15] Hreno: that sounded hard, but the partition editor is pretty self explanetory [12:15] ere4si: no [12:15] microwaver: Good luck! [12:15] sa: k [12:15] lassegul: ok, thanks [12:15] ere4si: DistroJockey I was trying to retrieve the old programs [12:15] Anyone having issues with amanda since the HH upgrade? [12:15] chg-multi appears slightly broken [12:16] ere4si: DistroJockey: as in, the additional programs i had installed in 7.10. that is why it took time [12:16] Hreno: no problem. good luck ;) [12:16] ere4si: DistroJockey: thanx guys for your concern [12:16] sa: ahh, *nods* [12:16] sa: they normally get installed to /usr/bin - so a install wipes them [12:16] ere4si: DistroJockey: and thank you very much for your help [12:16] sa: glad to be of help [12:16] sa: welcome [12:17] *you're [12:17] hello all!

[12:17] what is wubi, is it more of like a virtual machine? [12:17] ere4si: DistroJockey: I use kopete for chatting. You guys recommend anything else? [12:17] cky: heh [12:18] my sudo is broken. i need to edit /etc/hosts but i can't edit it.... any ideas how i might? [12:18] sa: I use xchat2 [12:18] can anyone tell me if you're having random lockups with hardy? [12:18] sa: Pidgin here. (flame on ;P) [12:18] simmerz: Boot into single/recovery mode. [12:18] ere4si: compatible with MSN? i am not satisfied with kopete [12:18] simmerz: Choose "root" when given the choice. [12:18] cky: ok === Bonez is now known as BonezAU [12:18] sa: I don't do anything that starts ms [12:18] ... [12:18] sa: Pidgin is [12:18] simmerz: Fix your sudoers at that point and your /etc/hosts too. [12:18] * DistroJockey chuckles [12:19] bluecake: no, wubi install ubuntu to a file on the windows partition. it works just like ubuntu otherwise, you boot into it. [12:19] nothing wrong with sudo. need to sort out the hosts to allow sudo to work again [12:19] it can't resolve the local host [12:19] DistroJockey: Yes i tried pidgin when i switched from kubuntu but was not used to it. Guess i need to get used to it :) [12:19] sorry, nothing wrong with sudoers [12:19] lassegul, it didn't work [12:19] Hi... i'm having major issues with FF3 on Ubuntu (why a beta?!)... is there a preferred way to downgrade to FF3, ideally without losing bookmarks? [12:19] bluecake: remember that a wubi install cannot suspend to ram (standby/sleep) [12:19] sa: tis Ubuntu's answer :) [12:20] lassegul, will gui be fast? i use to run vmare, ubuntu gui is damn slow in vmware [12:20] virus92: thats no good :) [12:20] cky: BTW I added it to my page for setting up my media box - http://www.dons.net.au/twiki/bin/view/Main/MediaBox [12:20] Dar1us: Hah, nice. :-) [12:20] !firefox > chazco [12:20] DistroJockey: Thanks for your help. My name is Shrikant by the way. located in Denmark. (fun to know who you have helped :) ) [12:20] hi guys... just switched to hardy and my xorg.conf is pretty different by default... what I want is to get opengl running as best I can so I can rinse some games and get the cinelerra-generic package running (it currently refuses to start with an error relating to opengl) I have an ATI X800 XT card and want to know if I should use my old xorg.conf settings or install the ati drivers or use the current xorg.conf settings with [12:20] hello ppl !! [12:20] cky: should help when the disk craps itself.. [12:20] bluecake: you should not experience performance difference from a regular install. [12:20] Dar1us: I used to have a wiki myself too, but it got too spammed. :-P === dcorbin_ is now known as dcorbin_work [12:20] cky: only logged in users can edit this one :) [12:20] blue-frog, you still there. [12:20] Firefox 3 Beta 5 is taking up 50% of my memory and causing my CPU to max up 100%.. What to do? [12:21] virus92: ok, lets start from the beginnning. what kind of graphics card do you have? [12:21] lassegul, after installation, will i need to boot into windows first then ubuntu? or i just boot ubuntu directly? [12:21] ubuntung-pinoy: open fewer tabs/windows? [12:21] My openOffice is not showing icons on the toolbar, only text. Is there a "resource package" that might be missing? [12:21] Dar1us: If I set up another wiki, I might try to lock it down a bit, too. [12:21] bluecake: you boot directly into ubuntu, but through the windows boot loader, instead of GRUB. [12:21] ubuntung-pinoy / Dar1us - Its using excessive resources here too, trying to downgrade [12:21] microwaver: yes [12:21] I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to get back my pc because not working video drivers caused it to black screen. Now When I login my ubuntu account I get a white window. In the background there is a working os because i tried to power it of using hotkeys [12:21] sa: You're most welcome. [12:22] dcorbin_work, you miss the Oo.o icond package for your theme [12:22] Dar1us: even with just one window open.. this is esp true when opening the new Yahoo Mail [12:22] dcorbin_work : in Options there is an option of how to see ICONS+text / TEXT / ICONS ... selet wich one you like [12:22] chazco: could be debugging code in it I guess.. worth reporting as a bug tho [12:22] sa: Stuart from Australia here :) [12:22] lassegul: it's an ATI radeon sapphire x1550 512MB [12:22] cky: I find it handy for taking notes [12:22] ubuntung-pinoy - Do you have flash by any chance? [12:22] does anyone know if I can get ati 128 rage to work with hardy desktop effects? I get an error when I try to set them on [12:22] lassegul, ah... i c. this is bettern than the vmware. [12:22] blue-frog, sorry to bother you, but witch driver should I choose. the bulk package or the single driver? [12:22] Oh yes I had a pretty useless xorg.conf after the upgrade as well. [12:22] I have OpenGL working on my X1950 [12:22] chazco: i do [12:22] Dar1us: Yes, totally. At my work they use Trac which has a wiki too, very nice for collaboration and the like. [12:22] virus92: give me 1 minuits, ill check it out. [12:22] and a Radeon HD 2400 Pro [12:22] bluecake: it really is very ellegant. [12:23] want my xorg.conf? [12:23] DistroJockey: I'm from brisbane myself [12:23] ubuntung-pinoy - Then you may get some better performance by installing flashblock (its in the add/remove programs applet). Flash is quite buggy for some reason. [12:23] I am having trouble watching videos. totem stutters, and has no sound, while vlc is smooth, but still no osund [12:23] akonkwa_: it might be blacklisted (not sure though) you might wanna search on google [12:23] microwaver: single I believe [12:23] ere4si: same :) [12:23] lassegul, i read about vfat-linux, there was one distro like 3 years go [12:23] akonkwa_: or check this.... [12:23] hehe [12:23] guys ---- did anyone found out how to install the nVidia driver ??? [I use an 8500GT Top] .. and having problems since 8.04 :( [12:23] microwaver: take them all... [12:23] heh :) [12:23] chazco: and what wud that do? block flash content? [12:23] ati! | akonkwa_ [12:23] Good thing there's lots of backups because dpkg-reconfigure... didn't work like it used to either [12:23] DistroJockey: my old gradeschool teacher was australian. Mr Kevin Lane. Coolest accent. haha [12:23] ubuntung-pinoy - It disables flash till you enable it, may be worth researching [12:23] xcs: Go to synaptic, install nvidia-glx-new. Unless you tried that and it didn't work. [12:24] sa: hehe [12:24] chazco: looking into it now. thanks [12:24] * bladerunner looks around for the trusty bot ubotu [12:24] cky ----- tried that an Envy..and restricted drivers..and nothing [12:24] is there an australian ubuntu channel? [12:24] does the medibuntu repositorie still work in hardy? [12:24] xcs: I could not find it. the best I found was an option for icon size. [12:24] is the resctricted ati driver for hardy different from the one used in gutsy???? [12:24] blue-frog, Kay :) [12:25] hey guys, I'm thinking of buying a new monitor and I'm a little confused whether to get a 4:3 or a widescreen one? [12:25] xcs: My bet is perhaps your card is too new, except I thought nvidia has a policy of actually supporting all cards. [12:25] jtravnick: yes [12:25] !pastebin | microwaver [12:25] jtravnick: see here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [12:26] microwaver: no bot?! [12:26] kitikri: I'd stay with 4:3 if you can find one. But that's a bit offtopic here [12:26] what I mean is, if you play a 1024.768 game on a widescreen, it should do some hardware resizing, which could slow it, right? [12:26] virus92: you did reach the terminal where you log in and did dpkg-reconfigure etc. ? [12:26] that is what I thought 2 .. but I am damn mad about it....I cannot see movies fullscreen...and that is why I bought a 22' :(( [12:26] bladerunner, how do you mean? [12:26] bladerunner, thanks all ive been able to find was docs for gutsy [12:26] lassegul: yes [12:26] ok, sorry about the offtopic, just asking :] [12:26] xcs: have you configured Xv? [12:26] chazco: still got the problem [12:26] jtravnick: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [12:26] DistroJockey: ere4si: I have had some work with doctors from brisbane actually. [12:26] lassegul: I typed that 2 commands you told me and they worked both, but the result were what I explained [12:26] xcs: Hey, here's thought...if you can be bothered setting up envy again, pastebin me the /var/log/Xorg.0.log for your failed nvidia driver startup. [12:27] Paavi2 ..................what Xv ???? [12:27] microwaver: the bot is not answering? (i think!)

The driver is just in the restricted modules section [12:45] ikonia, what I must do if it will not autodetect? [12:45] ok [12:46] Is 8.04 safe to do a fresh install if I want to access windows shares? Iv been reading a lot of people saying there is problems with the OS [12:46] apache what version? [12:46] habit: find out if it will auto detect [12:46] Eds: it's the current stable version [12:46] shally87: the version in the ubuntu repo [12:46] ikonia [12:46] ok [12:46] will try it first..

Im just trying to work out if I should be loading 8.04 as a newb or not [12:47] For updating, can I do the clean-up later? [12:47] habit: oh really [12:47] /var/cache/apt/archives/language-pack-gnome-de-base_1%3a8.04+20080415ubuntu1_all.deb exists. Where is the proper Hardy location to de-compress it?

[12:47] hello everyone, i have some serious issue here.. i have a dell inspiron 6400 and hardy works great on it.. but when i install virtual box.. my intel wirless connection disappears .. any clues, is it a bug? [12:47] For updating from Gusty to Hardy, can I do the clean-up later? [12:47] brb [12:47] bluecake: ubuntu installs grub when you install it [12:47] Guess ill install it and see how I go :) [12:47] habit: that should be supported. [12:47] !scanning [12:48] fenna: Ensure that in "System > Administration > Hardware Drivers", the wireless card is "enabled" and "in use" [12:48] Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE).

[12:48] ikonia, can I highlight you few minutes later? [12:48] habit: check the links ubotu just posted [12:48] hay.............. [12:48] ok [12:48] ikonia, the install failed, so i am trying to see if i can use some sort of command options and just install grub first, so i get windows running, without digging up windows cd and do fix mbr [12:48] ackrcvd, yes, is enable and in use [12:48] ushimitsudoki: not advisable as its intergrated into X [12:48] habit: sure [12:48] i need to grab input from the keyboard in python, how could i do this? [12:48] hay.................................................. [12:48] ushimitsudoki: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects -> None. [12:48] am i asking in the right channel? [12:48] bluecake: did the install fail, or just the grub install ? [12:48] !gnome [12:48] ikonia: What?!! [12:48] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [12:48] cky = camp kill yourself? [12:48] fenna: weird... no idea then... [12:49] ikonia, it froze at 94% [12:49] ackrcvd, and in lsmod show me b43\ [12:49] LetsGo67: Nice try, but no. :-) [12:49] xcs: i got fullscreen working with Xv after i was wondering how to get it working on my laptop. see xvinfo, if it prints your card... if not, then there's a tool for configuring Xv _if_ your card is supported. (Xv stands for X-video) configure with xvattr (i'd think...) [12:49] cky, what's the secret? :) [12:49] ikonia, i am installing again, now at 68%. [12:49] lassegul: sudo aticonfig seems not having enough parameters. It launches the help and I cannot read it pecause it scrolls down to fast [12:49] ikonia: compiz is _not_ built into X. [12:49] bluecake: ok - so it's not advisable to try to install grub as the componets needed won't be there, it would be better to use the widows boot cd to put it to a known working situation [12:49] cky: intergrated [12:49] cky: i will try that! restarting X! === mohamed__ is now known as mohamed_ [12:49] ikonia: Or integrated for that matter. [12:49] cky: eg: ubuntu packges depend on each other [12:49] ok, I will try in other sources [12:49] thank you [12:49] cky: then remove it if you think you know [12:50] ikonia: It's an Ubuntu-Desktop feature, sure. But not "integrated with X". [12:50] cky: remove it then [12:50] ikonia, it's a test box, no important data. if they go to bit heaven, i will wish them well [12:50] It's asking me if I should replace /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist yes or no? [12:50] LetsGo67: cky is/was my initials. [12:51] nice cky [12:51] ikonia, just that eariler lassegul said, he has a way to do it. but i turn down his offer, but now, i think it's good to learn an extra way as well. [12:51] bluecake: you won't learn anything from it [12:51] virus92: shift - page up scrolls up [12:51] LetsGo67: But lots of people ask whether my nickname relates to the band, so.... [12:51] bluecake: just use the windows CD [12:51] fenna: do u have any ndiswrapper configuration present? [12:51] hmm, my theme is not loading, yet when i go into System > Preference > Appearance > Theme, any theme I click will load? [12:51] anyone here use Alltray?

[12:56] MasseR, the rt2x00 driver included with gutsy is quite old, you will probably have better results with the latest compat-wireless package (from http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/) [12:56] anyone... playback support on x64 [12:56] DJDarkstar, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras yet?

[13:18] hello, i was in the middle of upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 (before the "clean up" phase) and i had a power failure, so you can imagine the horror, anyone with advice on how to proceed to rectify this? maybe dpkg --configure -a ? [13:18] never heard of that work, before born, lol [13:18] The best I could find from launchpad was that it was superseeded, but doesnt say by what...

[13:54] sriramoma1: you usually just insert the dvd and get prompted to add it [13:54] I tried adding it but it was unable to find the cdrom packages [13:54] Creationist: it should [13:54] dee_cz: which program? [13:54] i mean dvd. [13:54] dee_cz: possibly, what programme [13:54] question: does the dovecot version in ubuntu hardy (dovecot 1.0.10) has the managesieve patch installed? is there a way to find if it is? [13:54] dee_cz: you have build-essential installed [13:54] ciro, $ ls -l /dev/sd* [13:54] jrib: i inserted the dvd, but i dint get the prompt.

[13:55] hi [13:56] sriramoma1: what happens when you try using apt-cdrom? [13:56] I cannot find *.fw or *.usb file on cd. [13:56] ghabit: ooh really, so you'd need a custom defintion ?

[13:59] bladerunner: be more specific [13:59] nainef: Do you know where the torrent is? [13:59] what do i need installed to play mpgs? [13:59] +ve. now how do i enable this alone and disable the rest? [13:59] dee_cz: ok, I suggest you log a bug against that in launchpad, rather than trying to compile it yourself as there could be an error with the package or your system setup [13:59] um I can look [13:59] !restricted > jtravnick (read the private message from ubotu) [13:59] Creationist: its listed on the download page [13:59] jrib: see above ;) Vdrift [13:59] Creationist, gimmie a sec....

[14:00] faileas: I searched all over the download page... couldn't find the DVD image at all, let alone a torrent. [14:00] dee_cz: it may be a longer fix than you wanted, but it really helps others out to know the bugs and get them fixed [14:00] fungoloids also fails to work with broken dependencies [14:00] Creationist: still looking for dvd torrent? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4809298#post4809298 [14:00] jrib: i mean i want to allow only this repo and disable the online repos [14:00] rubenv: see Launchpad bug 215728 [14:00] faileas: maniadrve, vdrift, funguloids [14:00] sriramoma1: so go to system -> administration -> software sources and disable the online repos [14:00] Creationist, what arch?? [14:01] ikonia: right, ill report it. [14:01] sriramoma1: it's a good idea to keep the security ones enabled though [14:01] dee_cz: thank you [14:01] http://linuxtracker.org/ [14:01] hmm [14:01] jrib, i am guessing he is using the live cd [14:01] wierd, kubuntu had one [14:01] theres any dvd torren for ubuntu?

[14:03] jrib, I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed already infact i can listen to mp3 and wma but I can not watch mpgs [14:03] jrib, he told me before [14:03] icesword: it is an animal [14:03] hmm [14:03] jrib: where can I find reasoning for removal of the awesome game vdrift? ;) [14:03] jtravnick: got the medibuntu repo installed? [14:03] Heh... the torrent got me 50MB in 1 minute... took the normal download 5 minutes to get there. I like that ... 445KB/s.... fastest speed I've ever seen lol [14:03] http://www.tuxdistro.com/ [14:03] jrib: when i disable and use add/remove i am able to see packages not there in the dvd itself! on checking on any software, it says "the list of applications is not available" [14:03] /win/win 22 [14:04] gkhnoisgtht: it does [14:04] gkhnoisgtht, what kind of raid? hardware or software? for software: yup, for hardware, depend of the hardware (my 3ware SATA RAID1 card works like a charm) [14:04] icesword: wild mountain goat [14:04] icesword, it's a goat [14:04] faileas: ibex is an animal and the name of next release intrepid ibex ;) [14:04] will ubuntu install in a 1 gig ? [14:04] I lied... now I'm getting it at 600kb/s.... I'm in awe.

[14:04] sriramoma1: use apt-get on the command line so you can be specific about what is happening [14:04] bash_completion [14:04] nainef: Just got the 6mb service for DSL... goodbye, Comcast :) [14:04] ok thanks calc :) [14:04] lol [14:04] claudiu: yes [14:04] claudiu: yes [14:04] thank you both [14:04] claudiu: No?

[14:04] claudiu, nope [14:04] bladerunner, thanks i had doubts [14:05] j/k [14:05] Carbonflux: i would probably give it at least 4-8GB if you want to be able to do much though [14:05] khamael: sure, things like jack are just packages [14:05] claudiu: np [14:05] khamael: install them individually [14:05] anyone who'se installed java through synaptic package manager, raise your hand...=-O [14:05] >:o [14:05] jrib: is there any way to refresh list of repos and packages on command-line? [14:05] bladerunner: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vdrift-data/+bug/139843 [14:05] ubuntung-pino1: how about j ust ask the question [14:05] Creationist, imho that 6mb will be effectively faster then comcost's 8mb [14:05] immesys: but there are no meta-packages other than the ubuntu-studio package? [14:05] i am fighting with f-spot as it does not close , only forced [14:05] realy wish the upgrade hadnt messed up my video card I wouldnt have had to do a fresh install and had all this working before [14:05] jrib: legend [14:05] * RadiantFire raises hand [14:05] sriramoma1: sudo apt-get update [14:05] Enabling Extra Repositories deb for Hardy ? [14:05] anytime I log off Ubuntu 8.04 just kills the X and not returns to the GDM greeting [14:05] anybody knows why [14:05] ikonia: already did.. [14:05] * p0ltergei5t raises hand [14:05] ubuntung-pino1: I generally don't because the sun website has newer versions [14:05] bladerunner: legend? [14:06] ubuntung-pino1: ask the technical question rather than poll [14:06] newer than java 6? [14:06] khamael: just add ubuntustudio repos and install individual packages [14:06] Carbonflux: Well, I had the 3mb service from Comcast and was paying $55/mo for it. My 6mb DSL (fastest available here) is only $35/mo.... no contest [14:06] opuuss: add them to your sources.list in /etc/apt [14:06] ikonia: i will. thanks [14:06] I'd like to install vmware server on ubuntu 8.04/Hardy. I'd like to know if anyone's done it before, and if they needed the any-any patch, or did it just work? [14:06] anyone using F-SPOT here ? [14:06] bazhang, night, dude [14:06] its easier for me, since my college is still on 1.5, why mess with all those symlinks to make alternatives happy [14:06] kubuntu vs ubuntu any houghts [14:06] jrib: that sucks! [14:06] thoughts [14:06] hi. after upgrading to hardy, gnome-keyring added a keystore for my default ssh key ( id_rsa ). However, the password was entered incorrectly. I deleted the keystore, and now want to readd it. What is the quickest way to do this? [14:06] immesys: will do that.. but why does synaptic take like forever when installing its package?.. hmmm. [14:06] Moncky_, please link and now add ? [14:07] sanyassin, any of he 7.10 [14:07] ubuntung-pino1: not sure [14:07] sanyassin: donno, its really a matter of preference [14:07] say wha [14:07] is there a ubuntu chat channel? [14:07] none better? [14:07] sanyassin: outside the scope of this channel see distrowatch.com for screenshots, reviews and links [14:07] ubuntung-pino1: mine is pretty fast [14:07] * faileas uses kubuntu cause he likes KDE more than ubuntu. [14:07] Koheleth: ubuntu-offtopic [14:07] thanks [14:07] jrib: legend = top man / you are a legend [14:07] calc, heh, well I found this OLD 1gig drive, it has window NT on it even, it still works, I was thinking of installing a linux on it just to boot other OS's on other driver ( grub ) and move stuff around, but I have had good luck with using Ubuntu to move stuff between linux and windows, etc [14:07] what is the scope of this channel === fu is now known as acecase [14:07] sanyassin: ubuntu support [14:07] sanyassin: ubuntu support [14:07] opuuss: all the reposetaris are in sources.list some are commented out with # just remove the # at the start of the line to activate then run apt-get update as sudo [14:08] 10 points to jrib [14:08] sanyassin: ubuntu support not chit chat thanks [14:08] oh thanks jrib [14:08] i'm mad at ati and ubuntu [14:08] Carbonflux: ah ok :) [14:08] drives* [14:08] jrib: i was able to install a package called kino successfully using command line [14:08] p0ltergei5t: why? [14:08] poltergeist, im mad at them too [14:08] immesys: when i cancelled the installation, Synaptic tells me i havn't any broken anymore... darn thing didnt tell me it did it already.. [14:08] calc, I like the g3 driver etc, may xubuntu ? [14:08] Carbonflux: you might be able to install something like fluxbuntu on it [14:08] opuuss: if you need a reposetary thats not there just add deb to the bottom of the page [14:08] I really need some help with this pls https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/f-spot/+bug/86567 [14:08] 1) i didn't see any support on ati drivers (i can't enter GDM) [14:08] Carbonflux: maybe xubuntu, not sure [14:08] my video card doesnt work very well now [14:08] hello [14:08] fluxbuntu ? heh nice...thanks calc [14:08] Carbonflux: aiui fluxbuntu is the lowest requirement *buntu currently [14:08] worked fine in Gutsy, I'm guessing its got to do with xserver [14:09] 2) ubuntu, doesn't have the handy dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg anymore [14:09] p0ltergei5t: I've had hassles with ati drivers too, [14:09] p0ltergei5t: it does [14:09] jrib: what category do i have to use in add/remove to show packages available in dvd only? [14:09] calc, no, it is jeos, lol [14:09] for display [14:09] p0ltergei5t: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg still works [14:09] calc, its silly I know, the thing is smaller then a USB flash drive heh [14:09] icesword: but jeos isn't really intended to be a desktop... :-P [14:09] jrib: i mean the "show" category? [14:09] sriramoma1: I don't know. You could use System -> Administration -> Synaptic though [14:09] calc, in its day it was uber tho, weird [14:09] it doesn't reconfigure dsplay [14:09] p0ltergei5t: but I've started downloading the binary from the website and using --build-pkg [14:09] Carbonflux: you can get 32gb thumb drives now :) [14:09] heh [14:09] join #bzflag [14:09] p0ltergei5t: and that works well [14:10] Carbonflux: in 1995? :) [14:10] <[tr]cyt> Does anyone know, how I could use the middle Button of my Trackpoint for scrolling? (Thinkpad) [14:10] ya [14:10] last time i remember 1gb being large was around then :) [14:10] p0ltergei5t: try using ati-config --initial [14:10] dual boot system coax audio works in vista but not in hardy? dont want to use rca...this is my htpc [14:10] i bought a 'huge' 1.6gb drive around that time [14:10] what to do [14:10] I paid 2000$ for a 500meg drive in the 80s [14:10] [tr]cyt: there are thinkpad "tools" package which contain track pad xorg mapping, but I don't remember the name of the package [14:10] hum... without installiing ati drivers? [14:10] jrib: and for the same purpose in synaptic, what filter do i have to use? [14:10] hello, if there are secûrity updates for hardy, will they be available if i just say aptitude update? [14:10] it was 5 inch double size [14:10] calc, what filesystem do 32gig thumbdrives use? [14:10] p0ltergei5t: there is a wiki, let me find the url [14:11] adinc update and upgrade if the repos are enabled [14:11] hello [14:11] nainef: it depends. [14:11] * nainef thought that there was a limit on fat32 [14:11] nainef: fat32 i am guessing, i only have a 1gb thumb drive, i saw an ad for a 32gb one at fry's [14:11] I have hardy installed with likewise, and joined to a domain. How can I make it so that the admins in the domain are able to 'sudo'? [14:11] nainef: something like 2TB i think [14:11] bazhang: since the release of hardy i didnt get any updates at all, i was wondering if this is normal [14:11] [tr]cyt: try tp-scroll from http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tools [14:11] I am trying to reconfigure my card with xorg setup, but it stops after it the prompt for 3 button mous emulation. Any ideas why ? Shouldn't it go further? [14:11] oh ok, whew [14:11] <[tr]cyt> @ikona thx i will lookup the packages, in former version of ubuntu this worked out of the box [14:11] nainef: microsoft puts an artificial limit on what they will allow [14:11] p0ltergei5t: http://wiki.cchtml.com has a pretty good tutorial. Follow the ubuntu hardy one [14:11] sriramoma1: it should only show you things in the repositories you have enabled afaik [14:11] * nainef stands corrected [14:11] In ubuntu 7 I could tab and auto-complete package names in an apt-get install command. I can't do that in 8. [14:11] thanks [14:11] nainef: prior to windows xp (iirc) they would allow large fat32 partitions [14:11] adinc: you want to pastebin your sources.list and have us double check? [14:11] p0ltergei5t: its important to delete the old kernel modules and remove all fglrx packages [14:12] bazhang: ok, moment [14:12] Moncky_, E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied ..???? [14:12] What might cause a drastic slowdown in data tranfer speeds in ubuntu? I'm using Gutsy for a server; samba shares are mounted but xfer speeds are very slow, SSH works but it's very slow, especially for a LAN [14:12] ok [14:12] ok good yeah I was wondering... [14:12] [tr]cyt: or check out this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1729103 [14:12] nainef: of course over 32gb (iirc) the cluster size starts getting bigger and becomes an issue [14:12] opuuss: you have synaptic or another package manger open close that furst [14:12] opuuss: you used sudo? [14:12] cant get digital audio out to work in hardy...any suggestions [14:12] opuuss, are you root [14:12] nainef: like with fat16 where you lose most of your disk space due to cluster size and small files [14:13] i thought i could edit xorg.conf and put fglrx to work, but that way is better [14:13] if one uses it just for linux can one use something other fat anything? [14:13] I am trying to set up a ftp server, and when i try to connect, even from local computer, i get "connection closed by host" any ideas? (ubuntu/proftpd) [14:13] nainef: sure you can mkfs.ext3 or whatever on it [14:13] cool [14:13] nainef: a thumb drive works like any other drive, shows up like /dev/sdX# [14:13] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/d49f49593 this is my sources.list [14:13] nainef: ext3 [14:13] <^root^> can anyone tell a place where i can find what packages are included in ubuntu 8.04, like kernel, gimp, open office etc...?

[14:14] m3ltd0wn123: that could be lots of things. try following one of these guides and see if you get the same problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 [14:14] that should be configurable no?

Just to let you know, I am a complete newbie. I have ubuntu 8.04 LTS, with gnome, fresh install. I have an ATI radeon x1950 pro graphics card, and after installing the drivers (Binary ones from the "add or remove" manager) and rebooting X (Ctrl alt and backspace) I get a white screen. I can get into a GUI when logging into [14:15] failsafe mode, which is what I am on. I have two monitors connected by dual head on my graphics card. What I need is for both screens to be working, and no white screen because I can't do anything with it! when using aticonfig --initial I get an output of "Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf Device section "Configured Video Device" must have a Driver line. Segmentation fault" Can anyone help me? [14:16] nainef: oh for a ssd? well some believe that excessive writes will lead to early hd failure (not proven) you may wish to use ext2 if you are in that camp [14:16] Moncky_, Could not download all repository indexes [14:16] bazhang: i have to use this kernel since my notebook only boots with this kernel, the newer once dont, they hang somewhere when init loads hardware drivers [14:16] adinc: should be 16 [14:16] gotcha [14:16] Moncky_, Failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [14:16] adinc oh okay then you are fine it seems [14:16] * nainef forgot about that [14:16] bazhang: yes, but i cant get it work, it hangs when init loads hardware [14:16] <[tr]cyt> Does anyone know, how I could use the middle Button of my Trackpoint for scrolling? (Thinkpad, 8.04) [14:16] mocap: are there any backups of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in that same directory? [14:16] bazhang: lsb_release -a returns ubuntu 8.04 hardy [14:17] bstock: I made one before I started, but reinstating that didn't help :( [14:17] [tr]cyt: look for the think pad package I suggested [14:17] I can't play MP3's in hardy.. :/ I installed gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3, but it didn't help. [14:17] bazhang: can you confirm that there arent any updates release since final release of hardy [14:17] adinc: well sources are a-okay and so should be fine--hopefully that 16 bug will worked out though [14:17] bstock: Its called xorg.conf.backup if that helps. [14:17] adinc none here [14:17] ow.. now it works.. [14:17] I have no idea what I did [14:17] mocap: hmm well that was my only suggestion, i've never used ATI card on linux so that's about the most help i can be.. sry [14:17] bazhang: thank you very much for your help. === pria_pemuas is now known as napsu === blue-frog__ is now known as blue-frog [14:18] How can i tell what program is running a service on port 80?

How do I fix it? [14:19] Moncky_, now 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. [14:19] mandrill, if i were you, i'd wait a couple of months before upgrading a server [14:19] mocap: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [14:20] <[tr]cyt> Does anyone know, how I could use the middle Button of my Trackpoint for scrolling?

[14:20] <[tr]cyt> no [14:20] mandrill, but if you really want to upgrade just now .. it's just a matter of running. sudo do-release-upgrade # but i seriously suggest you wait it out for a little while just yet, there might be bugs and flaws [14:21] lassegul: Okidoki :) [14:21] ok i can watch mpgs on line why wouldnt i be able to watch one that is on my hard drive? [14:21] mandrill: let the documentation and bugs be ironed out first imo ;] [14:21] jtravnick: run file against it, get more info on the file [14:21] [tr]cyt: i think the thinkwiki has a change to your xorg conf that will enable that [14:21] anyone else? [14:21] i get a quick flicker every 20 seconds or so with hardy, I never had this with any other ubuntu since dapper, and not even with the hardy betas. [14:21] <[tr]cyt> there is no thinkpad package anymore, i remembered, there was a kernel module once [14:21] what do you do if the only thing that open when you login is pidgin? no gui, even under failsafe. I think I know what it might be, but don't know how to get to the session manaher to disable it [14:21] switching to VT and back fixe it temporarily [14:21] andre_pl: sounds like a video driver issue or a bug [14:22] [tr]cyt: not a package. a few conf changes you need to make ^^ [14:22] bazhang: have you got trouble with audio and hardy? [14:22] adinc thankfully no [14:22] <[tr]cyt> k looking @thinkwiki [14:22] bazhang: which audio device do you have? is it a intel hda? [14:22] bazhang: its laptop w/ nvidia 7800 GO, its been running all kinds of ubuntu's for years [14:22] adinc aye [14:22] Are there any limitations to a Wubi installation? If so, what are they? [14:22] andre_pl: this is hardy right? [14:23] Creationist: just the speed ones; you can transfer to lvm though [14:23] bazhang: didint anderstand aye [14:23] is it just me or is the xserver this time around a bit borky? crashes on certain web pages displayed in firefox etc. [14:23] adinc: scottish for yes ;] [14:23] ikonia, i used to be able to watch this file than after a fresh install now i cant it loads just never plays [14:23] [tr]cyt: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#Scrolling [14:23] bazhang: cool, but then mine should work aswell [14:23] jtravnick: maybe your missing a codec [14:23] Hello. What is going on with this new ubuntu? I cant open local .html files! What do I have to modifiy???? Thanks [14:23] bazhang: yes, hardy [14:23] jtravnick: hence why I said check "file" against it [14:24] bazhang: What kind of speed limitations? Is it similar to the LiveCD? [14:24] adinc: may be related to that kernel then [14:24] lassegul: Ah, its still saying there is no driver in the xorg.conf file. [14:24] Creationist: wubi is not meant to be a long term install alternative it is supposed to be used so you can try Ubuntu and decide if you want to do a full install on the HD [14:24] lassegul: I'll try restarting X. Back in a mo :) [14:24] Creationist: faster than that or a vm but less than a install regular style [14:24] mocap: mocap hold on. [14:24] lassegul: Yep? [14:24] ikonia, i dont understand [14:24] mocap: it wont work without a driver anyways. [14:24] mocap: you used ati right? [14:24] !info envyng-gtk | andre_pl this may interest you [14:24] andre_pl this may interest you: 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 [14:25] bazhang, wont a wubi install be permanent?? [14:25] lassegul: I have the binary ones installed [14:25] jtravnick: run "file $file" where $file is the name of your movie file [14:25] lassegul: from the package manager. [14:25] Hi all. [14:25] Hey [14:25] arvind_khadri: if you wish yes ;[ [14:25] did someone managed to tun 8.04 properly on a USB key? [14:25] mocap: run sudo aticonfig --initial now. [14:25] to run [14:25] any reason why Ubuntu 7.10 would not be prompting for an upgrade to hardy even if all updates are upto date? [14:25] hello christophe [14:25] mocap: does it still say the same thing? [14:25] bazhang, i dont wish :) but was just keen to know as it was going on [14:25] christophe: sure people in #eeepc have [14:25] did someone managed to run 8.04 properly on a USB key? [14:25] I'm having some issues with my laptop's FN keys, the vol up/down/mute works but the brightness ones are not bound at all. this is under ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 [14:25] Moncky_, none of my machines have prompted for it yet either. it does show up if you run software update though [14:26] bazhang: mine hang after login [14:26] quick question when i run allien arena my monitor does this input not supported box but i can still see the picture [14:26] After a bit of debugging, it appears ACPI isnt picking them up as events at all [14:26] Moncky_, you can see the update in the update manager [14:26] christophe: well it will be very very slow--hang is probably sop === Koheleth is now known as victor_meldrew [14:26] lassegul: Yes [14:26] sop? [14:26] bazhang: sop? [14:26] anthony [14:26] mocap: oh fudge. [14:26] standard operating procedure christophe [14:26] 7.10 runs perfectly [14:26] @anybody ANYBODY HERE> [14:27] lassegul: well, to the same effect [14:27] mine is fine actually its a colleuges, no propt to update in the update manager [14:27] Ashvala: yes [14:27] <[tr]cyt> found somethink, thank you for the help [14:27] Ashvala: what's up [14:27] lassegul: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf Device section "Configured Video Device" must have a Driver line. aticonfig: Parsing the configuration file failed. [14:27] set the correct resolution in game skinnymg1 ? [14:27] Moncky_, wait a day or two it'll show up [14:27] also an FYI for anyone running via chrome9 graphics cards, the new officially developed drivers work out of the box with 8.04 [14:27] mocap: how about we try running the dpkg-reconfigure command again, then manually inserting the driver to the xorg.conf? [14:27] My Ubuntu just do nothing. The cursor moves but that's it. [14:28] i did but it doesnt give me the refresh rate i think thats the problem [14:28] lassegul: That sounds like a good plan, however, I have no clue how O_o Sorry, complete newbie! [14:28] lassegul, what graphics card do you have [14:28] if it aint broke dont fix it, I should listen to that. spent all day fixing things that broke after upgrading to 8.04 from 7.10 which was working perfectly.... :( [14:28] christophe: two possible problems--your bios does not allow it; or you did it improperly--does it boot on other computers fine [14:28] HEI [14:28] mocap: nvidia 8800GT i know there are some problems, but firefox crashing X sounds a little ridiculous to me :P [14:29] Right [14:29] bazhang: I have tried different usb keys, on different laptops: same behaviour [14:29] mocap: we'll figure it out. [14:29] can i unplug dvb-t stick just like that ? in windows i have to do "safety remove" operation, but how about linnux ? [14:29] did you get the latest nvidia driver package off of apt? [14:29] Hi. I have three linux installations all using grub as boot loader. Is it possible to have the same boot partition for all three? One is ubuntu 8.04 32 bit, one is ubuntu 8.04 64 bit and one is Fedora 9 beta. [14:29] lassegul, its common i had it,memory leaks do cause that [14:29] lassegul: firefox doesnt crash it, it crashes on log in [14:29] Blinkiz: sure [14:29] <_eMaX_> strange problem here - had a crash running kde4 and compiz (unrelated to compiz) and when I rebooted and logged in I get a crash of kde-window-decorator immediately. When I try compiz --replace, I get the window manager in a "window". [14:29] mocap: sorry that about firefox wasnt meant for you. [14:29] floating: always a good idea to safely remove [14:29] Blinkiz: just keep in mind that each install will try to install IT's version of grub and menu.lst [14:29] I have my 8800GTS working perfectly under linux, [14:29] which IRC client is the best for gnome? Pidgin is kinda lacking features [14:29] lassegul: Oh sorry! I need more sleep teehee [14:29] Blinkiz: make sure once grub is installed you tell the next install NOT to install grub [14:29] immesys: xchat [14:29] lostIRC is nice immesys [14:30] immesys, xchat and xchat-gnome are both nice. [14:30] immesys, xcaht [14:30] bazhang: how to safely remove in linux ? [14:30] you need the latest driver package off of apt, then run sudo nvidia-xconfig [14:30] thanks [14:30] immesys, *xchat [14:30] floating: right click? [14:30] 54 [14:30] Am getting problem that ubuntu is overwriting stuff in the boot partition. For example, 32 bit ubuntu and 64 bit has the same name in grub. Also the same filename on the partition [14:30] arvind_khadri: thanks, busy installing [14:30] right click where ? i dont see the dvb-t stick mounted anywhere [14:30] Dred: im using the ones from restricted device manager or whatsitsname. havent installed anything other than tat, and havent upgraded since the release. [14:30] immesys, :) welcome [14:30] immesys: you can add extra feauters using plugins, try installing pidgin-plugin-pack, this contains extra plugins for pidgin including irc plugins, I use pidgin and it works nice... [14:31] floating that would be a problem then [14:31] I guess your running 7.10 or 8.04 lassegul [14:31] immesys: if you want something different, try xchat [14:31] Blinkiz: what part is the same, the name of the physical kernal file ? [14:31] you can make pidgin behave much more like xchat via the plugins, i read. [14:31] ikonia, yes [14:31] mocap: could you post you xorg.conf on pastebin? [14:31] Jen2: yeah, busy installing it. [14:31] Dred: yes 8.04 [14:31] Blinkiz: I thought the kernel files had the arch in the name (not logged in so can't check) [14:31] Hm okay does X just hang or does it crash === Jen2 is now known as Jens [14:31] lassegul: Sorry, how do I do that? [14:31] bazhang: i only get messages in dmesg that dvb-t in usb drive has been plugged, and dvb-t works just like that... well there are mentions about deploying dmux0 and some stuff [14:32] Dred: it crashes, starts again at login prompt [14:32] your best bet lassegul is to run the nvidia x config program, === Jens is now known as Keneo [14:32] do a sudo nvidia-xconfig at a command line [14:32] floating not sure how to proceed; never used that stick myself [14:32] ikonia, na, it's the same for 32 and 64 bit. This can also conflict with fedora that maybe (don't know) have the same name also [14:32] bazhang: I'll try it, but I already installed the nvidia driver though the restricted driver manager [14:32] Blinkiz: fedora is totally different names, don't worry about that [14:32] it will re-write your xorg.conf so that it uses the nvidia drivers at automatic resolutions lassegul [14:32] Blinkiz: I'm quite surprised there is no arch in the name though [14:32] Dred: that wont do it. /var/log/xorg.0.log says: Caught signal 11. Server aborting [14:32] hello. Why ubuntu 8.04 cant open local .html files in firefox 3???? [14:33] Dred, lassegul i had the same problem too i did a memtest things are fine now [14:33] Blinkiz: you may want to consider in that case moving the 32bit versions to .32 extensions and using symlinks [14:33] andre_pl: just an option-->up to you really [14:33] ikonia, Can I force the 32 bit installation to have a different name? I mean, so auto update and all is working.. [14:33] bazhang: my BIOS allows it perfectly [14:33] arvind_khadri, Okay, my desktop install of ubuntu 7.10 worked out of the box with my 8800 after running nvidia-xconfig [14:33] how do i make a service start on bootup? [14:33] well sudo nvidia-xconfig --twinview [14:33] bazhang: which version of the driver do you suggest? 169.12, 96.42 or 71.86 [14:33] Blinkiz: yes, thats a tricky one, you've really surprised me that there is no arch in the name as I've done the dual boot before with 32/64 [14:33] christophe: well then try booting from it on another computer [14:33] Dred, am talking about the FF crash [14:34] arvind_khadri Dred: this isnt a memory bug afaik, people with 8xxx get this error. there is a bug report on it. ill dig it up. [14:34] Blinkiz: I'll have to ponder that as you can't change the names on update as the packages contain the file names [14:34] andre_pl: which is the latest? === w8tah_ is now known as W8TAH [14:34] bazhang: as I said, I did: same behaviour [14:34] I dont know... if I had to guess I'd ay 169 [14:34] lassegul, I have an 8800, if you run nvidia-xconfig its fine [14:34] lassegul: I think thats it, not used pastebin before http://pastebin.com/m4a8b11bb [14:34] bazhang: there is a issue somewhere [14:34] lassegul, i was talking about the FF crashes [14:34] bazhang: but no error message [14:34] Dred: :) are you running 8.04 ? === Azamir2 is now known as Azamir [14:34] christophe: not sure what to tell you--may be done incorrectly [14:34] My desktop runs the older 7.10 [14:34] arvind_khadri: so am i [14:35] bazhang: done incorrectly? what? [14:35] ikonia, Currently I have solved this by booting 64 bit kernel but then having root on my 32 bit partition. But am experiencing random lockups. you are talking about "arch" in the name. Maybe it can be enabled somehow? [14:35] what is the command that was called nvidia-settings??? [14:35] Jessid, nvidia-xconfig [14:35] lassegul, ok i have 7300gt i feel its a mem leak as someone in the mailing list told me and a Debian devel too [14:35] lassegul: I'll be back in just two minutes! Sorry! [14:35] www.pendrivelinux.com is what I used christophe (for Gutsy); it took me a few tries to get it right [14:35] w8tah: Would something like System > Preferences > Sessions work for what you are trying to accomplish? [14:35] Dred and where is the GUI???? [14:35] Jessid, its not got a GUI [14:35] mocap: yeah, you hold on too, i gotta show these guys something. [14:35] how to check if running app is x86 or x64? [14:36] its completely CLI [14:36] lassegul: That works for me! ^^ [14:36] to see its parameters do man nvidia-xconfig [14:36] bazhang: I have installed couple of Ubuntu on USB keys, never faced that [14:36] 大家好啊 [14:36] christophe: well you are more of an expert than I [14:36] John_S: im not sure -- im looking for how to update the rc.d system (i think) [14:36] X is working really slow for me [14:36] !cn | fd [14:36] fd: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:36] windows move slow, they're slow to grab focus [14:36] Dred bad thing. If canonical wants ubuntu to behave like windows, should not change good things in new versions....bad thing! [14:36] John_S: using the init.d file for it [14:36] i can see things drawing [14:36] bazhang: not impossible ;) [14:37] is there a link for a quick howto, to upgrade Ubuntu 6.06 Server to Hardy Server? [14:37] anyone have any idea what could be wrong? [14:37] Hi everyone [14:37] Jessid, nvidia-xconfig comes with the nvidia driver package and is maintained by nvidia, its been the same for a good few years [14:37] is that nick family-friendly? [14:37] ? [14:38] MTHRFCKR: do you have an old graphics card? you could try disabling special effects: system->preferences->appereance [14:38] But I do have my own question, how can you bind keys to ACPI [14:38] /join #ubuntu-classroom [14:38] gegema, look at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [14:38] hi all! [14:38] W8TAH: I'll check something that may help, if nobody else doesn't help you in the meantime. Hang on... [14:38] hi edney [14:38] hi Keitai [14:39] my laptop has it's brightness up/down keys on FN keys, and using acpitail and xev I do not get any keypresses from them, any suggestions?

[14:40] Hi. Is there some idea of how to make audio stream recording to work? [14:40] gegema, You have a direct link here for 6.04 server to 8.04 server: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#head-e059d5452a24b50d09c64df48058ef2d834eb197-2 [14:40] Blinkiz: Thanks [14:40] lassegul: I am back BTW :) [14:40] Dred ok, but i dont know i thought i was going to love this version....i think the best one has been 7.04. Good things changed for bad things....for example what the hell happens with this new firefox that cant opoen local files!!! security???? it was pretty safe before. This is Linux, isnt it???? === guja_nebeska is now known as arhitektura_ra [14:40] just wanted to say that it seems that my 100% cpu/disk ff3 problems were somehow related to my ~/.mozilla dir === arhitektura_ra is now known as arhitektura_racu [14:40] gegema, 6.06, not 6.04. sorry [14:40] deleting it and re-installing extensions (I had only 2) seemed to have fixed it [14:40] Im not having any issues here Jessid === arhitektura_racu is now known as guja_nebeska_zna [14:40] Dred neither do I! [14:41] @manos21: what audio-stream recording [14:41] ?

[14:41] hi. is there some cd cover to put on the cd i have just burnt ? [14:41] it lists less encryption optioons than the one with ubuntu [14:41] for hardy [14:41] i'm running hardy amd64 [14:42] But yeah, Two of my FN keys do not do anything [14:42] Dred: lucky bastard ;p mine don't even work at all [14:43] Hi, I just started using PGP signatures, and I have published my key from seahorse. But I can't seem to find my key if I search on my name.

Sure there isn't one for Ubuntu or that the Debian version won't work on Ubuntu? [15:24] i have a question, sory.... i want to upgrade to ubuntu 8.04 and i have the 7.04 version. I found a lot of help topic about doing it from 7.10 but not from 7.04. May a do it or i have to upgrade to 7.10 first? [15:24] Franccesco_: yes, you need to go through 7.10 [15:24] LjL: without stagefiles ? they dont get installied i think. grub-install fails saying "hda1 not found or not a block device". this is due its a dapper system, but the systemrescuecd uses a recent sda mapping [15:24] Ljl: tks [15:25] can i make icons on my ubuntu desktop like in windowsXP, my computer, my documetns ? etc etc [15:25] Dynalon: hm, that's an ugly mismatch, but if you say you did an apt-get --reinstall, doesn't that mean that you managed to boot into it, somehow?

[15:27] eternal_p, tips and tricks, does that involve an ndiswrapper? [15:27] Dynalon: ah. well, i'd say use something to boot directly into your install and run grub-install from there, without the sda mess: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [15:27] helvete: I believe it is a simple walk through script to do it (tips and trucks in ubuntuforums) [15:27] hey all, good morning [15:27] damn pc crash..

[15:28] helvete: ndiswrapper is for using windows wireless card drivers in linux. [15:28] anyone know what that disc check utility is? [15:28] stippi: The chroot. If you need it to load at boot, put it in the chrooted /etc/modules [15:28] (I dont want to install and then not be able to do anything) [15:28] thats weird. mocaps problem is that x wont start, but everytime i tell him to sudo killall gdm he quits from irc :) [15:28] Oprtz: np man. have a blast with it [15:28] kousotu: what disk check utility?

[15:29] !fsck | kousotu, this? [15:29] kousotu, this?: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [15:29] Hmm how you can help with 100% cpu of firefox?

[15:30] stippi: According to apt-get notes for reiser4progs, kernel-patch-2.6-reiser4 is recommended. This may be what you need to get it into the initrd [15:30] I've heard that a lot of distro's dont have the intel drivers by default, thats why I am here asking sorsis [15:30] kousotu: by default, it does it every N mounts (don't remember how many exactly, 30 or so i think), i.e. basically every N reboots [15:30] bamed: but i have no sure it is FX 3b5 fault [15:31] even though it see's the device just fine when i scan for it.. [15:31] kousotu: in Hardy, it can be skipped by pressing Esc [15:31] Oprtz: try installing gnome-do, and type in burn cd or write document etc. [15:31] Radit: no [15:31] helvete: See ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net if you want to check for yourself.

It didn't check, just rebooted :( [15:47] indian_munnda: I think setting up a router would be ALOT simpler than setting up a PC to do your routing, but that's just my opinion. :) [15:47] of course ubuntu can't see my new external monitor [15:47] brett_h: should be enabled by default. it's the "command-not-found" packages iirc [15:47] that would be too easy [15:47] indian_munnda-> yes, you visit google and type in masquerading+ip forwarding [15:47] indian_munnda: buy an dsl device which is capable for routing and dhcp or then install a linux distro which is meant for firewall purpose to other comp. you could allso think of using firewalldistro as reference on virtual pc or then read huge pile of text related to networking [15:47] any one have an idea how i can prevent firefox from leaving a lock file open when users close?

[15:54] ikonia, so my net performance is dog slow [15:54] are totem and mplayer and vlc somehow incompatible [15:54] it seems when i installed mplayer a package libmatroska0 was uninstalled now [15:54] wizz1: well, I'm just lamer :) [15:54] i am putting on vlc and it is being reinstalled [15:54] does anyone have a fav. graphical frontend for mplayer? [15:54] paynito: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:54] how do I permanantly remove the pcspkr module before I rip the speaker out my pc? [15:54] algyz, then what am i ? [15:54] lol [15:54] algyz: how? === Arrick is now known as Techi [15:55] wizz1: yeah [15:55] paynito: How about KMplayer?

[15:56] paynito: use transmission [15:56] without rebooting [15:56] zionpsyfer: ok... thanks [15:56] paynito: I'm using gnome too and KMplayer works great for me. Many KDE apps work in gnome. :) [15:56] immesys, add 'blacklist pcspkr' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and reboot [15:56] !alsa | Fritzel [15:56] Fritzel: 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 [15:56] wizz1: join #Paddy_EIRE [15:56] immesys, or disable the beep in X with xset b off [15:56] John_S thank you [15:57] algyz, my config is fine I just need to restart it [15:57] how do i restore a .evolution folder backup in my new hardy? [15:57] has anyone successfully set up poptop? [15:57] unop: Aah, thanks [15:57] Anyone know how to keep Rhythmbox playing when I switch from X to a text console? [15:57] John_S, you say "many" kde apps work in gnome - what ones don't? [15:57] anyone know how to get media player working [15:58] I just updated to 8.04 and Evolution pops up a baloon to distract me every time I get an email. Does anyone know how to kill it? === tobias_ is now known as tobias [15:58] Fritzel: probably $sudo alsa reload [15:58] go into evolution's preferences and tell it not yo do that? [15:58] alexbe01: I've used a few that didn't, but I can't remember what they were. Why? [15:58] Or, what about how to start emacs *in* an xterm, i.e. so it doesn't load the GTK version? [15:59] algyz, thank you [15:59] /server irc.freenode.net [15:59] John_S, because i haven't seen any that wouldn't, and haven't for a couple years, was just wondering if these were older apps or something [15:59] paynito: Your welcome, good luck. :) [15:59] I'm having a problem with my contrast on Hardy. [15:59] it is posible to activate compiz-fusion while ubuntu is running virtualy inside virtualbox? [15:59] if a kde app won't run under gnome, the app's devs/maintainers should be made aware === Veinor|ZzZ is now known as Veinor [16:00] what's the best, simplest backup solution for ubuntu to local NAS? [16:00] cause i download any posible required application but still don't take effect. [16:00] I'm having trouble with my wireless. Every time I turn on my computer and boot into ubuntu, my wireless doesn't seem to work. I have to restart my laptop 2 or 3 times for it to start working. Any idea why and what I can do to resolve it? [16:00] alexbe01: Could be, like I said I honestly don't remember which ones, so I should probably say *most* KDE apps seem to work in gnome fine for me. [16:00] preferably something that has good incremental support, possibly file deltas, etc. [16:00] hmm to busy to be usefull here [16:00] Can anyone help me setup my new monitor on an ubuntu laptop? [16:01] at this point, doesn't have to be dual head, just actually outputting anything at all [16:01] /join #ubuntu-classroom [16:01] John_S, true [16:01] when I start my ubuntu, it says "CPU#1 stuck for 11s" [16:01] anyone knows why? [16:02] maslowbeer: rsync? [16:02] i always have to boot in recovery mode and then return to normal boot [16:02] I'm having trouble with my wireless. Every time I turn on my computer and boot into ubuntu, my wireless doesn't seem to work. I have to restart my laptop 2 or 3 times for it to start working. Any idea why and what I can do to resolve it? [16:02] Hey.. I installed Amarok.. and my master volume control stop working.. anyone knows why????? [16:02] faileas, is there a good user GUI for it? [16:03] maslowbeer: no it uses simple commands so no need [16:03] How do I force a disc check on reboot? [16:03] alexbe01: I honestly wasn't aware--are all KDE supposed to work in gnome? I didn't think they were required to. [16:03] algyz, nvidia-xconfig didnt help [16:03] kousotu: touch /forcefsck i think [16:03] sad [16:03] im not 640x480 :" [16:03] im not 640x480 :| [16:04] John_S, i haven't seen any reason they wouldn't, as long as the right dependencies are installed [16:04] /join #ubuntu-classroom [16:04] of course, they aren't necessarily going to mesh well with other gnome apps, but they do work [16:04] * alexbe01 can't live without amarok [16:05] PLEASE can someone help me with hardy custom usb persistent setup, i have been struggling with this for 3 days now and really tired and frustrated [16:05] I'm having trouble with my contrast on Hardy. Can anyone help? [16:05] alexbe01: Yes, but if I complain to the developers that application X doesn't work in gnome--aren't they going to laugh and tell me to use KDE? :) [16:05] psypher246: just ask [16:05] :) [16:06] is there a way to make the sound output from the computer get louder ? [16:06] there is a bug in hardy, in the casper initrd.gz file, the bug fix online does not work for [16:06] is there a way to add a new entry to applications? [16:06] Agilo: Have you tried the command "sudo ifup wlan0" to connect to the network (instead of rebooting)? [16:06] hello everyone [16:07] * jochmenDS just watching the crowd [16:07] claudy: check for "sorround" in the sound manager [16:07] John_S, i doubt they would actually laugh, more and more users are starting to use the best application for the task regardless of the desktop environment, and development is reflecting that. while kde apps integrate better when used within kde, they still work in another environment :) [16:07] John_S: I will take note of it thank you [16:07] My contrast changes by itself. If I don't move the mouse for about a minute and then move it, the contrast goes up. Also, if I have the contrast all the way down and then close my screen (laptop) and then open it, the contrast is all the way up again. How can I fix this? [16:07] Anyone familiar with setting up a static IP for a wireless card (bcm4306) [16:07] yar i r [16:08] kilpat: Check the power settings. System -> Preferences -> Power Management [16:08] hmmrrr [16:08] Agilo: Have you checked the signal strength too? Make sure that's not an issue--make sure you're getting a strong signal to connect to. [16:08] ifcumfig yourWirlessNic [16:08] I checked my power settings. I changed them and still the same problem. [16:08] Is it possible to open ppsx (the new powerpoint files) in ubuntu? [16:08] John_S: I've tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [16:08] John_S: but to no avail [16:08] kilpat: The checkbox "dim display when idle" can do this. [16:08] something is capturing presses of my mute button on display :0 (:0.1 is fine), and i don't want this happening, as i want another program to capture this keypress. there's nothing set in kmix's global shortcuts, nor in kcontrol's shortcuts list. what could be invoking kmix? [16:08] Does anybody know much about running Linux on PS3? [16:08] Ok let me try that. [16:08] so has anyone built their own hardy persistent live setup using grub and NOT syslinux? [16:08] I think there is a bug with the kernel's libata. I need help installing Hardy in such a way that I can use an older module because the current kernel: every disk i/o operation locks up the system. I'm on the live session, it's fast but when I install it it is too slow to use. Not just Ubuntu, but even Fedora, which uses a newer kernel, has this problem. Any ideas? [16:08] yar [16:09] Ginetteann, ppl cant even modchip it [16:09] no i dont think so [16:09] wtfx [16:09] r u dumb [16:09] ofc you can nab [16:09] sony includez it by defualtsz [16:09] John_S: I don't think its a signal issue because my windows connects readily. Plus, ubuntu does connect, but its only the wireless thats off (the light is orange on my hp laptop) [16:09] Agilo: check signal strength with "sudo iwlist scan" and find your network in the list. [16:09] hello [16:09] harro [16:09] I just changed it...the close screen problem still happens though....do i need to logout or restart or anything? [16:10] hpdarm? [16:10] what is a good vnc client for ubuntu? [16:10] John_S: So when i first boot into ubuntu, the wireless is off (light is orange), then I restart my laptop 1,2 and then the 3rd time it goes blue [16:10] kilpat: Reboot the computer. Also disable any power management in the BIOS setup program if you know how. [16:10] fevel: vinagre in hardy by default is good [16:10] Hello all. I am new to Ubuntu and am having issues running it on my laptop. When I have my wireless card installed it keeps locking up. Any idea on how to fix this? [16:10] I'm also having wireless issues [16:10] Lunar_Lamp, ok...thanks [16:11] Agilo: what do you mean ubuntu connects but wireless is off? Are you connecting via a ethernet cable into your router? I'm not understanding something here. :) [16:11] <__mork> why my swiftfox (using hardy) don't do anything when I press a submit button in a web page? [16:11] John_S: What i meant is that ubuntu does connect eventuallly after a couple of restarts. Which means its not a signal issue [16:11] Lunar_Lamp not yet, it is supposed to be supported for ooo3 === Sebast1an is now known as Sebastian [16:11] John_S: signal is at 50% now [16:12] Ok I'll restart in a few. I have another problem too. Ever since my upgrade to Hardy I've been having an issue with my ctrl button stop working. I've noticed it happens when I'm running VMware workstation virtualizing windows. Ctrl stops working in ubuntu but works fine in the windows virtualizaton. [16:12] Problema: con le cuffie usb sento la musichetta di intro di Ubuntu ma non gli avi, gli mp3 o altri suoni di sistema. [16:12] I can connect using roaming mode, but when i try to connect statically, i'm unable to connect to the internet [16:12] can anyone help please, ubuntu hardy live persistent setup??? [16:12] It's random when it happens too. [16:12] Agilo: OK, you're right, you've got a good signal. When you talk about the "orange light" is that on your router or on you labtop? [16:12] John_S: laptop wireless [16:12] kilpat: You need to use the any-any patch to run VMware on Hardy. [16:12] Why is it that when I install a newer distro (with the 2.6.24 or above) do disk, it is too slow to use now. But Gutsy, for example, isn't like that, neither is Windows XP (so it's not a disk failure). Is there a quick fix? I already tried acpi=off and that doesn't work and makes it even worse. [16:13] John_S: all hp laptops have this wireless on off switch with a light indicator (orange=off, blue=on) [16:13] I did that...VMware wasn't working but is now. My vmmon modules weren't right but I fixed that. [16:13] kilpat: You should prefix your lines with dajhorn: so I get a beep when you talk. [16:13] Agilo, not all HP have that switch [16:13] dajhorn: Ok, sorry about that [16:14] when i test my system hardware test, ubuntu says to give a vaild email address and send the information there (but i dont recieve any email, besides what is Lauchpad ? [16:14] kilpat: Np. Which VMware release are you running? [16:14] Arrick, well probably not, but I've bought 2 recently and they both had [16:14] ok, then yes, the newer ones do lol [16:14] Arrick but you're maybe right [16:14] and i'm still trying to figure out why firefox hates me so [16:14] it was hit and miss up until about a year ago [16:14] haz any1z got VMwaez working on ubum2 yet? [16:14] I just installed [16:14] dajhorn: well i couldn't get it working with 6.0.0 so I got 6.0.3 and I finally got it working but I've been having that ctrl problem. [16:14] Agilo: You said earlier that you tried "I've tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" but did you try "sudo ifup wlan0" to connect? What errors does it give? [16:14] I just installed ubuntu 8.04 server [16:15] etarduserr: english only in this channel, please :-) [16:15] And my router don't give a ip :( [16:15] can anyone help please, ubuntu hardy live persistent setup??? [16:15] does anyone have any clue whatsoever why firefox wouldn't save bookmarks? [16:15] dajhorn: 6.0.2* [16:15] Its fucked. [16:15] So what can the problem of that?? [16:15] Any had problems with 8.04 and ATI drivers? [16:15] i iz speaking engliss [16:15] hmmrrr [16:15] what do you do if you installed an inf on ndiswrapper, but ndiswrapper refuses to mount on modprobe? [16:15] John_S: I tried the networking restart, all i does is show something like "Reinitializing network..." but does not fix the issue [16:15] Ginetteann: please mind your langauge [16:15] !l33t | etarduserr [16:15] etarduserr: 1337 i5 n1gh-inc0mpr3h3n5ib13 70 u5 n00bs, 4nd n0b0dy c4r35 if UR 4 1337 h4x0r. Giv3 i7 4 r357. [16:15] how do I downgrade kernels? 2.6.24+ is a complete unusable mess on my system. I need something like .22. [16:15] Ginetteann: that sort of language is not called for [16:15] Johs_S: I will try your solution when I encounter the problem next time [16:15] when i test my system hardware test, ubuntu says to give a vaild email address and send the information there (but i dont recieve any email, besides what is Lauchpad ? [16:16] engliz plx [16:16] kilpat: I'm running VMware Workstation 6.0.2 on Hardy without problems, but 32-bit. I dunno whether a 64-bit host is stable. [16:16] ikonia, sorry. [16:16] i dont under stand your frenchy [16:16] Your right. [16:16] Ginetteann: thank you [16:16] dajhorn: I have 32-bit [16:16] agilo: what kind of laptop [16:16] No problem :) [16:16] John_S: I will try your solution when I encounter the problem next time as I have it working now after I restarted a couple of times. However if you have any more suggestions I can try, I'd be glad to take them [16:16] etarduserr, engli*sh*, pl*ease* - and if you are unable to stop trolling this channel, perhaps you should be elsewhere, say... AOL. [16:17] alexbe01: LMAO [16:17] does anyone have a fix for the FF/xorg bug with high CPU loads? [16:17] how darz you [16:17] bigtimer121: hp pavillion dv6618ca [16:17] i r not troll [16:17] dajhorn: I've just noticed in general after upgrading to Hardy I've been experience problems...besides what I've said I've also had my pc freeze, and firefox 3 beta 5 seems to crash a lot. [16:17] I need something quick [16:17] im here to helpz [16:17] etarduserr: ok, do you have an ubuntu related question [16:17] etarduserr: puhleez [16:17] How i install java [16:17] it's speeled "How Dare You" [16:17] Agilo: Here are some more commands (in case you haven't used them already) that will give you clues for troubleshooting: ifconfig, iwconfig [16:17] How i install java into firefox? [16:17] Plugin [16:17] with a capital on all wordz? [16:18] you surez? [16:18] ay^: it's being investigated [16:18] bubble-tea [16:18] sure, at least its readable [16:18] agilo: HP's and Compaq's wireless cards are known to break easily. does your computer even recognize that it has the hardware or driver [16:18] FreekSh0w86: I'm not seeing older kernels in my package list. You'll need to manually install the Gutsy linux-image-* packages. [16:18] you should be able to install it from synaptic [16:18] well i wouldz diaagreez [16:18] Bubble_tea, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [16:18] etarduserr: this channel is very busy, please stop disrupting [16:18] ikonia: alright, any link to where I can follow up on how it's going? [16:18] etard please stop [16:18] kilpat: Perhaps you have another problem. Try running the memtest+ diagnostic from the GRUB prompt. [16:18] does anyone know why mkfs.vfat -n DATA /dev/sda1 DOES NOT WORK? [16:18] he/she's gone, let it die [16:18] while w8ting for apt to finish up I found an excellent howto about installing linux, may be someone would like to take a look, believe me it's worth it - http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml [16:19] ay^: I'm not aware of any officail bug numbers (I'm sure you'll find it on launchpad) but I'm doing work on it, and I'm aware of others also [16:19] Myrtti: darn. I wanted to have som fun :( [16:19] how do u label a fat32 drive then??? [16:19] lol [16:19] bigtimer121, yes it does and I went through the whole painstaking process of configuring it.

Locks up on boot before I even can log into Ubuntu sometimes. Sometimes gets past there but still locks up the hole system. All I can do is reboot. [16:22] Agilo: OK good sign that at least your card is probably not broken, must be something else but I'm not sure how to help you. Does anyone know where networking error logs would be found? I've never had to mess with them. [16:22] psypher246: man mlabel [16:22] Hola?? alguien me ayuda ?? :$ [16:22] !es | richard [16:22] richard: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

I have windows vista on a 30 GB partition. I want to have a /home, / and swap partition. In which order should I install them and which should be primary and logical? [16:24] am I right in thinking that in recovery mode (single user mode) that you shouldn't need a root password to fix things? [16:24] i need it to be in ext3 [16:24] alexbe01: why not go back to 2.0 then? [16:24] psypher246: no you don't [16:24] Castigador ya [16:24] omg too many messages/second [16:25] why?

[16:25] frecon: tell ubuntu to use all FREE space, and it should install all of that manually [16:25] and the casper folder [16:25] Castigador can u help me or should i go windows [16:26] casper folder has kernel and initrd.gz file [16:26] Bubble_tea, im thinking [16:26] John_S: does dmsg show all errors encountered recently [16:26] alexbe01: I would :P [16:26] I have a little question: in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, I have a AMD64 3000+, wich runs at 1800Mhz but in /proc/cpuinfo it displays 1000 Mhz. what's wrong ? [16:26] alexbe01: so it's simpley that you can't save book marks [16:26] 2nd partition is an ext3 part labeled casper-rw [16:26] alexbe01: apologies if I'm covering old ground, but what happens when you try to save a book ark [16:26] whenever persistence is activated i boot into busybox [16:26] ikonia, correct - it does seem to keep stored passwords [16:26] alexbe01: especially due to the word "beta" [16:26] ikonia, wad: "properly", i don't know, but i think OpenProj imports MS [16:26] error on luanchpad talks bout incorrect switch in initrd.gz [16:26] LjL: Ah, okay.

[16:27] FreekSh0w86: why are you asking us [16:27] FreekSh0w86: contact the bug owner [16:27] Bubble_tea, go to this directory: /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins [16:27] ikonia: well, better than nothing i guess... i don't think i found any other that imports the format [16:27] alexbe01 you can download an other firefox and run it from your desktop see if that helps [16:27] I need some help with grub, i deleted a windows partition on one of my drives so that i could extend my ext3, and now grub wont load it says error 55. is there a way to restore my grub loader without a complete reinstall? i would really like to keep my windows installation as well. i see now that i should have deleted the windows partition in ubuntu rather than in windows. [16:27] LjL: What is OpenProj? [16:27] Agilo: dmesg I believe only gives error messages from bootup, which could still help you possibly. [16:28] LjL: totally agreed [16:28] If anyone has an answer please give me a private message, I don't know if I'm able to watch every line :) [16:28] Nevermind, I found it.

[16:29] I have a little question: in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, I have a AMD64 3000+, wich runs at 1800Mhz but in /proc/cpuinfo it displays 1000 Mhz. what's wrong ? [16:29] toxi1, more than likely it has a cpu throttler for powersaving enabled [16:29] toxi1: I missed it, please repeat [16:29] I need some help with grub, i deleted a windows partition on one of my drives so that i could extend my ext3, and now grub wont load it says error 55. is there a way to restore my grub loader without a complete reinstall? i would really like to keep my windows installation as well. i see now taht i shoudl have deleted the windows partition in ubuntu rather than in windows.

[16:29] ikonia: I just realized that the same issue happends when I use aptitude to install software, or more specific when it is downloading the file to install, if this helps.. [16:29] :) [16:29] Castigador yes [16:29] it's nForce4 [16:29] from ASUS [16:29] anyone have any idea?

[16:30] Agilo: That's OK for eth0 to be down, we're interested in wlan0. and having no IPv6 routers is OK too (you're using IPv4). [16:30] live [16:30] will it be easy for a windows machine to log into it? [16:30] ay^: thats different senarios, I'm aware of firefox, not X [16:30] when i have the black options screen [16:30] is there a way to have the bootsplash go away for one boot .. so I can see what's going on behind the scenes? i tried nospash .. but that didnt help [16:30] Bubble_tea, be sure that you close all the firefox windows and open it again [16:30] Hey guys can anyone help me with this little problem I'm having? When I turn my computer on it shuts down and turns on by itself once again, and resets teh system clock... [16:30] LjL: thanks! [16:30] wad: it's unfortunately not in the repositories, but as i said, that .deb package worked for me. otherwise, use the tarballs. homepage is http://openproj.org/openproj [16:31] !fixgrub [16:31] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[16:32] i dont understand that thing [16:32] yay! all is back to normal [16:32] it is confusing [16:32] Agilo: Yes, try "dmesg | grep wlan0" [16:32] ikonia, the bookmarks.html file isn't updating [16:32] tales_2010: right click -> Edit ? [16:32] alexbe01: can you manually put an entry in, and restart firefox [16:32] alexbe01: try deleting it and then forcing it to make a new one? [16:32] how do i know which is my boot partition?

I tried doing "modprobe piix" but modprobe tells me that there is no such module :( [16:33] There is a bug in ssh where svn sends a sigterm to close its connection when using the svn+ssh: scheme.. apparently ssh treats it as an error. I've seen in bug reports where they've fixed this in newer versions... Does anyone know if ubuntu dapper 6.06 has an upgraded version that addresses this bug? [16:33] sweatshopking: mount | grep "on / type " [16:33] sriramoman: dpkg won't know whether or not they're broken until it tries installing, i'm afraid :) [16:33] burnt 8.04 to disk and got 'error' on completing?

[16:34] I don't understand :( [16:34] toxi1: what's the issue you're having? [16:34] kousotu, I'm not sure really.. I believe its a newer version that has the bug fix [16:34] LjL, reason: I have several packages installed in my system, and i have copied the apt-cache directory. i would like to install these in my office. i am confident that all dependencies are available. [16:34] hey how do i find out what ghz i am @ [16:35] Agilo: So you are using ndiswrapper? if you do "more /etc/modules" does it have ndiswrapper listed in it somewhere?

[16:35] kousotu: when I tried a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo', it showed me 1000Mhz instead of 1800Mhz. Not it's ok but I can't understand why [16:35] (yes, its MS Office, which I like) [16:35] ljl in this guide it tells me that i have to type "sudo mount /dev/hda3/boot/ [16:35] sriramoman: well, then none of them should be broken...? [16:35] kousotu, i said im on dapper 6.06 [16:35] Could someone be so kind as to advise me on a 'problem' I have? [16:35] but is that ubuntu or windows?

[16:37] yes i installed hardy [16:37] just installed [16:37] alexbe01: so, so one of two things is happening 1.) firefox is not reading from where you expect 2.) that file has a problem [16:37] Agilo: OK that's good at least. And are you trying to connect to your router the same way you do in windows? i.e. are you using DHCP/static IP? [16:37] sriramoman: well, just go "dpkg -i *.deb", repeat until all dependencies are solved :) [16:37] wfclarke: did it JUST install, or have you rebooted afterward? [16:37] alexbe01: I'd suggest trying to delete the file, restarting all instances of firefox and seeing what it re-creates [16:37] kousotu: its a dedicated server and my client would rather not spend the money on that [16:37] LjL, I'll try and tell u. [16:37] when i want to reinstall kubuntu to ubuntu, do i have to use cd or there is other way?

[16:38] because it didn't recreate it, yet again, i still have the default bookmarks [16:38] hmm [16:39] * kousotu is on wireles that acted up for the 8.04 reboot, but fine aftter [16:39] John_S: excuse my ignorance, but I don't know about these terms. What I can tell is that I just get into windows or ubuntu, and it connects on its own to my wireless located in my basement. [16:39] what is impossible/ [16:39] alexbe01: where do you think it's reading from [16:39] Bye all, I will find someplace else that I might get some assistance...... [16:39] sweatshopking: look can you explain the entire problem from the beginning, in one line? i don't quite have a clear picture of it [16:39] alexbe01: sorry, where did you expect it to be reading form [16:39] Memory pressure question. If I have very little swap being used, and my running apps and kernel are only consuming 25% of system RAM, but buffers/file cache is consuming almost all available memory, will the system (1) throw out some cache to make room for programs, and (2) is this safe/to be expected? [16:39] from [16:39] it also takes a long time to boot up [16:39] ~/.mozilla/firefox/y0d8mjq7.default [16:39] allquixotic: thats fine [16:39] alexbe01: very odd [16:39] allquixotic, 1, yes, 2 yes [16:39] it's like its looking for the hardware [16:40] wfclarke: I'd give that a shot first and foremost. it worked for me. just remember to do the "OTHER" option, and do not grab it from the list of wifi hotspots shown [16:40] ok. i wanted to extend my ubuntu partition because it is 100% full (no joke) and so i moved all of the stuff off of the windows partition on the same hard drive and deleted it in vista. once i rebooted i am unable to log into grub. it says error 55 [16:40] so im on live [16:40] Lamego, ikonia: Okay, cool. So I should basically watch out for the case where >= 75% of system RAM is being used by programs ("active" memory in /proc/meminfo) and heavy I/O is going on, right? because that makes the disk grind, doesn't it? [16:41] allquixotic: your system is behaving fine - there is nothing to "watch out" for [16:41] sweatshopking: you may need a grub superdisk [16:41] ok [16:41] Agilo: No problem, nobody is expected to be a wireless wizard here. :) Getting the settings right could be part of the problem, but unfortunately I have to run now and I'll be back in probably about an hour. If you haven't resolved your issue with someone else by then, feel free to look me up. Good luck! :) [16:41] ok [16:41] allquixotic: your system using %79 of ram is a good thing [16:41] what is that and how do i get it [16:41] anyone else experience black frames when using GeForce Go 7400??

[16:43] sweatshopking: see the link above. you download sbm.bin, and then from the live CD, you create a floppy by doing "dd if=sbm.bin of=/dev/fd0" [16:43] odinsbane: no, it may not exist in 8.04 [16:43] whiteeagle i think that you'll be fine, though you can look at changelogs with the update-manager [16:43] LjL: Thanks for the info on OpenProj! It's ABSOLUTELY FREAKING PERFECT. :-D [16:44] wad: really, it opened all your tasks up fine ? [16:44] hi all, is there owners laptop samsung q45, which have installed hardy on laptop?

[16:44] I'm trying to play a dvd on ubuntu totem but it doesn't seem to work. I installed libdvdread3 and all the codecs required but its stills saying that its missing plugin [16:44] ikonia, you're going to love this - it didn't recreate ~/.mozilla :) [16:44] wad: thats great news [16:44] ikonia, whats not to exist? Its still linux isn't it? [16:44] finek: it should stay to what version you have [16:44] kousotu: i just rebooted and i have to same problem. the see only the WIRED NETWORK but not WIRELESS and the sound is muted [16:44] HI, all [16:44] alexbe01: can you show me "ls -la ~" please in a pastebin [16:44] hello I am running 8.04 and it came up as needing to update 5 packages however it fails when it tries to do so [16:44] hi [16:44] ragaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [16:44] wfclarke: I'd give that a shot first and foremost. it worked for me. just remember to do the "OTHER" option, and do not grab it from the list of wifi hotspots shown [16:44] Hello. Can somebody help with setuping scanner? [16:44] agilo what about libdvdcss2 [16:44] LjL, its working well! [16:44] dax_: what do you want ? [16:44] kousotu, is there a way to get it working or am i stuck until they update compiz/emerald theme manager? [16:44] habit: still having issues ? [16:44] The network controller gives me an error on shutdown. where is it logged? [16:44] thanx very much. [16:44] All my Windows-using teammates, who had mocked my inability to load the file, are now eating their words. :-D [16:44] !it | dax_ [16:44] dax_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [16:44] bazhang do I install it as well [16:44] wad: thats great news [16:45] habit what brand? [16:45] ikonia, :) Yep, dunno how to get it work. I don't have windows, so it becomes huge trouble. [16:45] Agilo: aye from www.medibuntu.org [16:45] noodlesgc, hp. [16:45] streather: I'm unsure, I tried all the gutsy work arounds, but fusion doesn't exist in hardy [16:45] there is no repair grub function in ubuntu like in windows? [16:45] ikonia, http://pastebin.ca/1000466 [16:45] hi! i got problems with wine 0.9.59 installing rosetta stone ... can anybody help me? === Fafa is now known as Fa [16:45] sweatshopking, you can repair it. [16:45] bazhang I did sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 and it said that I already have the newest version [16:45] habit have you tried at all with the printer setup? [16:45] how? [16:45] noodlesgc: and one more question, I want to upgrade to hardy, and doing sudo do-release-upgrade in terminal tells me I need to dl around 2200 MBs of updates, so are those ~1400 MB updates included in those??? [16:45] konstantin__, that's an issue with wine, ask in their forums [16:45] ATI's update manual claims there is a version of Catalyst linux software that supports X1650, but the links to downloading it leads to where there is no such thing for linux, and the installation guide links to an XP installation guide.. ,_, [16:46] alexbe01: thats exeptionally odd [16:46] or... i think #wine is here on freenode [16:46] Agilo: this is a dvd disc correct? standard or blu-ray hd-dvd [16:46] whiteeagle i think so. be sure to use the -m desktop switch though [16:46] habit: how do i repair grub? [16:46] noodlesgc, I have installed libxane-extras, than sane-tools for scanner detect [16:46] konstantin__: I'm still on wine 0.9.94 lol === habit is now known as ghabit [16:46] Does the Nvidia FX 5200 support compiz on dual wide screen monitors? [16:46] noodlesgc: oh, thanks I haven't included that [16:46] kousotu. when i double click on the sound icon i get this error " No volume control GStreamer plugins and /or devices found" [16:46] habit most websites said your scanner was compatible [16:46] sweatshopking: then you can probably use it by burning it to a CD instead. type "sudo apt-get install sbm bmconf", and then run "bmconf", it should help you configure it and burn it to a CD [16:46] sweatshopking, prvmsgme [16:46] upgrading NOW [16:46] ;) [16:46] bazhang Its a normal dvd [16:46] bye [16:46] wfclarke: I can't help with sound, but wifi I can [16:47] ikonia, but how to make it working?

[16:47] ikonia, yeah, i don't get it, this is a fresh install of hardy :\ [16:47] LjL: he's running from the CD, unless he has a second drive, that won't work [16:47] thanks ljl!! [16:47] anyone has hp530??? [16:47] noodlesgc, maybe you can advice me? [16:47] noodlesgc: sorry, but when I do sudo do-release-upgrade -m i get: "do-release-upgrade: error: -m option requires an argument [16:47] kousotu: when i check the list of connections i see only the WIRED CONNECTION and POINT TO POINT CONNECTION [16:48] whiteeagle -m desktop [16:48] oh, bummer [16:48] kousotu: no wireless hardware [16:48] wfclarke: DO NOT SHOUT [16:48] bazhang do you think its because I've got to restart my computer after installing all the codecs [16:48] This is what it says: libdvdcss2 [16:48] ok, bye [16:48] Sorry, it says this: There is no plugin to handle this movie. [16:48] wfclarke: and red what I said more carefully [16:48] kousotu: sorry about that [16:48] bazhang yes i installed it [16:48] wfclarke: read* [16:48] kousotu: you're right too... although i call having no floppy drive *and* only one CD drive looking for trouble :) [16:48] ghabit have you just run xsane and it was not recognized?

[16:49] eeeek! Now it worked [16:49] osfameron, do you know how to setup bootsplash image with 1680x1050 resolution? [16:49] Who asked tthen 5200FX question?

[16:55] kousotu: there is not wireless option , only wired networks. it's like the hardware driver is not loaded.. [16:55] noodlesgc: just see the pastebin http://rafb.net/p/GbfuE546.txt [16:55] wfclarke: does ifconfig show 3 entries or two [16:55] will mono 1.9.1 get into ubuntu 8.04 ? is so, when, if not, why ?

[16:56] whiteeagle: why did you try to carry on with the update after it's clear the package checks filaed [16:56] kousotu: just 2 . eth0 and lo [16:56] chazco: you can't really [16:56] what's a good frontend for ffmpeg in ubuntu? or should I install winff [16:56] chazco: grab it from the site? [16:56] Ah :( Will downgrade to Gusty if thats the case :( [16:56] chazco: What instabilities are you experiencing? [16:56] DB42: If its not in it now, it likely won't be. as to why... when was it released? [16:56] w8tah gmail notify [16:56] DB42: More of a development question, they may be able to answer or know in #ubuntu-devel [16:56] whiteeagle try sudo dpkg-reconfigure update-manager [16:56] ikonia: because I wanted to see what will happen, did that ruin something? [16:57] whiteeagle: thats a silly thing to do, something says "I've got a problem" and you carry on [16:57] wfclarke: I didn't ask you that, bazhang did [16:57] fearl - The drop-down site list causes things to go way slow, rendering is quite slow, the flash issue is even worse than in FF2... Just not impressed. [16:57] bazhang: just 2 . eth0 and lo [16:57] wfclarke: what does lspci say about that card [16:57] ghabit, im not sure what the problem could be, try googling you model number and include words like 'linux', also keep asking here [16:57] ikonia: I know it is, and I know I am silly [16:57] I see FF2 in the repos but not sure if it'll cause clashes etc [16:58] /ignore #ubuntu CRAP NOTICES SNOTES CTCPS JOINS PARTS QUITS KICKS MODES WALLOPS NICKS DCC DCCMSGS CLIENTNOTICES CLIENTCRAP CLIENTERRORS HILIGHTS [16:58] chazco: you see FF2 in the gutsy repo [16:58] emefarr: stop that [16:58] emefarr: what the devil ??

[16:59] noodlesgc: I get: The generated cache was invalid. [16:59] whiteeagle: remove the cache [16:59] ikonia: how [16:59] rm the cache [16:59] how do i see which module is tied to say... eth0? [16:59] ikonia: where is the cache located? [16:59] I would like to give limited users the ability to install certain software without sudo but only into their $HOME [16:59] whiteeagle: err r/var/apt/cache I think [16:59] ikonia - Its downloading and installing, no clash reports yet [17:00] wfclarke: what is the id of that card [17:00] benanzo fakeroot [17:00] buha: there is no really convenient way to do that I'm affraid. [17:00] benanzo: thats not practical as the .deb packages go to hardcoded destinations [17:00] anyone has intel GMA 950 Video card? [17:00] buha you could try sudo lsof | grep eth0 [17:00] bazhang: where do i get the ID [17:00] rod0009: I do [17:00] buha: you can search google for lspci output, and discover that way via looking through lsmod... but nothing else really. [17:00] kousotu u use 8.0 ? [17:00] hmm -- that's tricky in a multiuser environment isn't it? [17:01] rod0009: what probalem are you having? [17:01] Hi, I need to clean the home directory after users logout and copy some files to it when users login. somebody got a hint [17:01] ikonia - It seems to work... no bookmarks etc, but its there [17:01] ? [17:01] cant get visual effects going [17:01] chazco: I had no idea it existed in hardy [17:01] rod0009: Upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 las night [17:01] fear1: the only way to do that is to rmmod the module and see if the device is still working? [17:01] ikonia: ok, so what I did now was: "rm -rf r/var/apt/cache/ " [17:01] whiteeagle: whoaaaaa I didn't say do that [17:01] and they work for you? [17:01] can someone recomend a good program that will alert me upon arrival of messages in msn, yahoo or gmail boxes??? [17:01] I made a really dumb mistake and let my battery die while gutsy was upgrading itself to hardy... now the computer won't boot.. is there any way to fix this ? I'm hoping I can just burn the CD and pop it in and tell it to 'repair' or something like that [17:01] noodlesgc: that didnt work, only went to next line and did nothing else [17:01] rod0009: you mean XGL? [17:01] ikonia: i first did rm r/var/apt/cache [17:01] rod0009: the flashy stuff? [17:02] whiteeagle: do a mkdir /var/apt/cache [17:02] buha: No! Simple look through lsmod for the a module relating to your google search... [17:02] whiteeagle: whoaaaaaaa [17:02] ikonia: but it told me that it doesn't exist [17:02] whiteeagle you are not supposed to delete the cache directory:)) [17:02] It might be interesting now we have policykit to allow the installation of debs from repos to a Home/Apps dir or similar if user doesn't use sudo to install it (if they have permission via policykit) [17:02] rod0009: 8.0 purges compiz and xgl, just reinstall xgl [17:02] W8TAH: gmail-notify [17:02] ikonia: it says mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/apt/cache': No such file or directory [17:02] ToXi1: whiteeagle deleting the cache directory is harmless, no worries [17:03] i mean visual effects from the panel [17:03] benanzo: won't work, that path is hardcoded [17:03] that would allow admin to let users install games, etc without affecting the system or requiring sudo [17:03] whiteeagle: cd into the directory and see what exists [17:03] bazhang: will that do yahoo and msn mail (hotmail) also? [17:03] Hey all [17:03] W8TAH: try apt-cache search yahoo or apt-cache search msn for more info [17:03] like normal and super ones [17:03] err normal - extra [17:03] uhm [17:03] rod0009: please explain more clearly [17:03] I was wondering if there was a way to make ubuntu connect to a wireless network on start up? [17:03] kewl [17:03] whiteeagle, it is /var/cache/apt not the other way around :) [17:03] thanks [17:03] ikonia: Yes I know it's hard coded -- I'm talking about changing it so it's still hard coded by the paths can change dynamically depending on if it's sudo/root installing or limited user [17:03] unop: oh [17:04] thats why [17:04] rellik: try booting from the live cd, you may have to reinstall... === jedimind_ is now known as jedimind [17:04] benanzo: you can't do that [17:04] kousotu im not registered [17:04] so could u add me tomsn? [17:04] unop: ikonia thanks [17:04] don't say cant... [17:04] ur* [17:04] It's a suggestion [17:04] guys how do I change ownership of NTFS pArtition? [17:04] benanzo: thats not how the package managment works (or could work) [17:04] an Idea [17:04] sipior that would really suck :( [17:04] send it private pls [17:04] whiteeagle: so your working now [17:04] I installed ndiswrapper and seems to work fine but it's not registering in modprobe <-- any idea's? [17:04] rellik: depends on where the installation died, but yeah, it probably will suck :-) [17:05] Saito, is module ssb loaded? [17:05] just to make sure, I should clear the /var/cache/apt directory [17:05] right? [17:05] modprobe ssb doesn't show anything [17:05] whiteeagle: yes, but leave the directory [17:05] OK [17:05] guys how do I change ownership of NTFS pArtition? [17:05] unless you mean something else (i'm a linux n00bie :r) [17:05] Can I use the standard install disk to set up encryted LVM root? [17:05] OK, well the something needs to accomodate the ability for limited users to install software from the repos on the system safely, ie in the $HOME dir -- [17:05] Saito, okay, then I dunno. I had some issues with ssb and ndiswrapper conflicting after I upgraded [17:06] mmm [17:06] amerio: you can use the ntfs-3g driver, but I still advocate using native OS tools for native OS file systems [17:06] benanzo: why? [17:06] Saito, try lsmod | grep ssb [17:06] how do i update from gusty to hard? [17:06] benanzo: it's up to system administrators to repackage [17:06] !topic | mohbana_ [17:06] mohbana_: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [17:06] because every enterprise OS does it [17:06] mohbana_: sudo do-release-upgrade [17:06] that's tedious and cumbersome [17:06] benanzo: no it doesn't [17:06] ikonia: using ntfs-3g , I've installed it but dunno how to change the ownership [17:06] bazhang: if my serial port is in use, how can i free it? [17:06] Tristam, greb not found :r [17:06] amerio: chown [17:06] and I still get the generated cache was invalid [17:06] adinc: in use by what [17:06] Windows doesn't allow software to install locally? [17:06] apparently i don't have greb (what ever that might be :P) [17:06] OS X certainly does [17:07] ikonia: i tried chown but didnt work , still the owner is root [17:07] benanzo: thats not every enterprise OS [17:07] I cleared the directory and I still get the same thing === chaky_ is now known as chaky [17:07] saito grep not greb [17:07] does anyone have a problem with wireless [17:07] amerio: looks like it's mounted read only (type moount to check) [17:07] It's grep Saito [17:07] benanzo, any sane entreprise network administrator will prevent average users from installing anything to corporate computers. [17:07] ups :x [17:07] na: can you define 'problem' ?

[17:08] I do not have a scroll bar in Firefox 3 beta [17:09] This is sort of compiz /compiz-fusion question... but here we go: When I use NX-client with a single window configuration (evolution at a remote machine), the window becomes dark because compiz thinks the window has become unresponsive. I recall adjusting such settings in Beryl, but I'm unable to find them in compiz. Any clues? [17:09] ikonia : also chown 775 /media/sda6 [17:09] Anyone know how I can add one? [17:09] Hi everyone, is there someone who would try to help n00b to set up direct rendering (on old laptop), waste of time but... may be someone has nothing else to do, please (contact in private plz) [17:09] need help installing ubuntu...have XP..

[17:09] amerio: you chmod 775 now chown [17:09] ubuntu: press F [17:09] ubuntu: if you're using the command line try -vo gl or -v gl flags === benzs_s is now known as benzss [17:09] ikonia: sorry I meant chmod [17:09] I guess it doesn't have to be software from the repos -- anyone can download a gz and run it from their home dir [17:09] is there a channel i could get some help with open office [17:09] ? [17:09] is it easy to install kde on ubuntu? [17:09] my ubuntu 8.04 logout everytime when ill try go http://ubuntuguide.org any idea [17:10] tales_2010: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [17:10] wfclarke: there are some bugs related to that card on launchpad--hopefully workarounds will be posted before final fixes are made [17:10] any fixes for the wireless [17:10] tales_2010, very: just sudo aptitude kubuntu-desktop [17:10] tales_2010: yes, just do: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [17:10] benanzo: oh yeah. it is [17:10] tales_2010 apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [17:10] kde3 or 4 tales_2010 [17:10] sagredo, vo gl doesn't work [17:10] aptitude! [17:10] Saito, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/197558/comments/14 [17:10] ok it updates the lists now [17:10] 4 [17:10] How do I use the GTK2 engines? [17:10] in case you decide you don't like it, that makes it easier to remove [17:10] kubuntu-kde4-desktop tales_2010 [17:10] ikonia: sorry if I am being annoying [17:11] why do so many people default to recommending apt-get when aptitude has much better dependency management? [17:11] bazhang: ok thanks for the help [17:11] apt-get is sufficient for 99% of cases [17:11] alexbe01: apt-get is the default, and some people actually prefer it. why does it matter? [17:11] thanks Tristam i'll see if i get it to work [17:11] ikonia: I don't get that error message anymore (the generated cache was invalid) [17:11] whiteeagle: it's not a problem, thats what we are here to help with [17:11] whiteeagle: so what the problem now [17:11] by default aptitude installs recommends [17:11] can anyone help me, how to play full screen in mplayer i am using gnome when i use full screen it is stucking [17:12] bazhang: do u undrstand my problem? [17:12] Saito, it should, your problem sounds just like mine and that link fixed it right up, you can try this real quick to see if it works: [17:12] ikonia: even through gksudo nautilus , tried to change permissions from there it doesnt apply [17:12] ikonia: nothing [17:12] Saito: modprobe -r ssb [17:12] ikonia: thanks for helping [17:12] whiteeagle: great, your working. Well done [17:12] Saito: modprobe -r ndiswrapper [17:12] which can bloat the system with packages you'll never use or never even know about [17:12] cht you want to install ubuntu alongside xp? is that it? and ubuntu install is failing? [17:12] Saito: modprobe ndiswrapper [17:12] alexbe01: theyve supposedly improved apt-get to make it just as good as aptitude [17:12] amerio: you didn't use the -user option to mount it did you ? [17:12] does beryl work in hardy yet? [17:12] bye guys [17:12] hi there [17:12] plz help with direct rendering [17:12] amerio: is it a local disk or a samba share [17:12] can anyone help me with a formatting problem i am having with open office? i need to save a file in text tab delimited, and when i upload the sheet to my website all of my quote marks show up as ? marks. does anyone know how to help me fix this?? [17:12] kousotu: beryl is dead as I told you the other day [17:12] kousotu: no its compiz-fusion now [17:12] wasn't there a installer where i could install ubuntu on windows into an "own environment", like into a vm? [17:12] sipior, for the reason i JUST mentioned - especially when installing a massive metapackage like kubuntu-dekstop, wouldn't it make more sense to use aptitude, which can remove the entire thing effectively, which is something apt-get cannot do. [17:13] schasi wubi [17:13] ikonia: from what I remember , about 1 year ago , when I mounted it I used root prev. to mount it , yeah its local [17:13] hey, i told ubuntu to use my soundcard by default, but i still can't hear any sound. im running hardy. is there something else i need to do? [17:13] ikonia: compiz-fusion don't ork on hardy it "doesn't exist" [17:13] that installer installs it so i have to reboot, not like on a vm at all [17:13] alexbe01: then use aptitude. what's the problem here? [17:13] How do I use the GTK2 engines? [17:13] kousotu: your talking nonsense [17:13] which is the mplayer chat room [17:13] bazhang: yes...when creating image in instalation it sais that it cant read the cd... [17:13] kousotu: it's installed by default [17:13] i even saved file as excel sheet and did it through my windows machine and still have the same problem [17:13] ikonia: plus.. looking for how to get emerald themes up again [17:13] can anyone help me, how to play full screen in mplayer i am using gnome when i use full screen it is stucking [17:13] ubuntu: hit 'f' [17:14] sipior, nevermind [17:14] kousotu: how is looking to get emerald themes up a problem ? [17:14] bazhang: or not access the cd...try later.. [17:14] alexbe01: don't worry, i don't :-) [17:14] Tristam, FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found [17:14] is there a channel for open office? [17:14] fearl, full screen im able to see but it is stucking a lot [17:14] amazing :D [17:14] ubuntu: do other players work full screen? if not, it's not an mplayer problem [17:14] CHT: what did you use to burn cd [17:14] Saito, try ndiswrapper -l [17:14] ikonia: I upgraded from Gutsy, and my themes aren't working [17:14] nero.. [17:14] Saito, that will tell you if your adapter is detected [17:15] cht as data or image [17:15] it's detected (used the command before) [17:15] to burn a CD? gnomebaker or K3b [17:15] image [17:15] I have an ATI card in my machine, but the motherboard also has an onboard intel graphics adapter. I get output on my screen connected to the ATI card, but ubuntu doesn't give me the option to activate the fglrx driver (in gnome). Is there a way to fix this? [17:15] from ubunto.com [17:15] gnomebaker is good [17:15] tyle1, anything to do with settings in the player [17:15] cht try isorecorder2 and burn again [17:15] If Ubuntu Hardy is released, and is an LTS release, why does do-release-upgrade require the '-d' (development release) flag to do an upgrade from dapper? [17:15] CHT: it's ubuntu.com not ubunto.com [17:15] kousotu: I believe emerald is no longer used, it defaults to using Metacity themes instead... there is probably a gconf key if you care to look... [17:15] net5523 : driver installed device (0CF3:0002) present [17:15] sorry....i know..:) === hydrogen is now known as Hydrogone [17:16] hi can everyboady tel me the german ubuntu chat ? [17:16] bazhang: ok i try...what about using daemond tools? [17:16] zieberian: ubuntu-de [17:16] cht also check the md5sum of the iso [17:16] Saito: I'm not sure what else to tell you, maybe someone else more knowledgable can chime in [17:16] How do I use the GTK+ engines Themes? [17:16] Hmm.... when does the Intrepid cycle start? [17:16] !md5 > cht read the message from ubotu [17:16] hope so ^^ [17:16] fearl: emerald uses meacity [17:16] I still think Intrepid is an odd choice... it makes me think "vrooom" [17:16] bazhang: md5sum? sorry new in this... [17:16] kousotu: No it doesn't, it is entirely separate. [17:16] exaile hasn't been updated either :\ [17:16] thanks for the effort though :) much appreciated [17:17] cht read the message from the bot [17:17] bazhang: is it need to add a new source entry to sources.list to be able to get kubuntu-kde4-desktop? [17:17] quodlibet has working media keys. [17:17] ubuntu: you can try to change the video output settings, but it could have something to do with your x configuration. [17:17] tales_2010: you on hardy? [17:17] fearl: well, if it isn't used, why doesn't te upgrade remove it? [17:17] hawke_: probably to ensure that folks don't accidentally upgrade an LTS release that was already working... [17:17] quodlibet has (more than) two views: collection view, folder view, and more. [17:17] bazhang: 7.10 [17:17] But folder view breaks if you set a base for the collection. [17:17] kousotu: because you installed it explicitly? [17:17] I have a question concerning wireless keyboards, I have tried googling it, but when my system first starts up, my keyboard does not work until i press a couple keys and wait about 30-45 seconds. It works in grub, and stops working when X starts. Any ideas? [17:17] Saito, do you have the b43 driver loaded? [17:18] fearl: ?? [17:18] DanaG, who is that directed to? [17:18] kousotu: your supposed to use any external repo's before the upgrade [17:18] tales then yes you need to add ppa repos and install kde4-core not the package I suggested; www.kubuntu.org has the info [17:18] kousotu: apt keeps track of that stuff... if you ever manually installed emerald, it won't remove it unless you tell it to. [17:18] ikonia: please explain, I'm confused [17:18] kousotu: where did you get emerald from ? [17:18] bazhang: ok , thanks [17:18] The media-keys thing is to whoever was asking about media keys, as I assume the exaile thing was about, [17:18] ikonia: snatic [17:18] saptic* [17:18] tales_2010: no worries ;] [17:19] ... [17:19] kousotu: but which repo [17:19] Tristam, it's a net5523 driver [17:19] snaptic** [17:19] i'm just talking about packaging the new version of exaile for the repos so the amazon issue is actually fized... [17:19] :) [17:19] ikonia: gutsy [17:19] hey, i told ubuntu to use my soundcard by default, but i still can't hear any sound. im running hardy. is there something else i need to do? [17:19] !info emerald [17:19] emerald (source: emerald): Decorator for compiz-fusion. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.2-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 255 kB, installed size 1380 kB [17:19] bazhang: are you using 8.04? [17:19] Saito, oh, okay. I've only played with broadcom cards with ndiswrapper [17:19] dutch_: check that the channel is unmuted? [17:19] ikonia: do u think I should use /dev/sda6 or /media/sda6? [17:19] kousotu: ok, so it looks like it's not in hardy for the upgrade [17:19] tales_2010: aye, and kde4 ;] [17:19] amerio: /meda the other is the device file that should not be changed [17:19] used amarok in gutsy, and had to compile 1.4.9.1 because it wasn't available in the repos (fixed the amazon breakage) [17:19] Can anyone offer some insight into why 8.04 doesn't do font hinting as cleanly as 7.10 and earlier versions did? [17:20] sipior: how can i check that? [17:20] ikonia: then any other ideas? [17:20] ikonia: but it IS in hardy, it just doesn't work [17:20] amerio: not at the moment [17:20] how do i get my usb 2 work in vmware? [17:20] amerio: try unmountin it [17:20] then with this reinstall, i made a conscious decision to use no kde apps so i installed exaile [17:20] kousotu: it's probably the gutsy version not removed [17:20] bazhang: heh I really don't know if it worths upgrading to 8.04.. what's your opinion [17:20] dutch_: in whatever mixer program you're using. alsamixer, gmixer, etc/ [17:20] ...and i'm going to have to compile my own there too to fix the same problem [17:20] Johnny_5: which version of vmware [17:20] Does anyone know how to share a desktop using vncserver? When the remote party connects to my box, they see another display, it seems. [17:20] ikonia: and yet it uninstalled the gutsy compiz? [17:20] ikonia: nah, it would have upgraded it... [17:20] ikonia: I cant unmount it by current user , but I can by using sudo [17:20] tales_2010: best wait for documentation and bugs to be fixed imo [17:20] kousotu: because there is a reaplcment version [17:20] amerio: unmount it as sudo then [17:21] hi i cant use sudo anymore [17:21] ikonia: ok its unmounted [17:21] bazhang: yeah.. =) [17:21] fearl: not if it's not available in the hardy repo [17:21] ikonia: ok, gotcha :) [17:21] amerio: now try to mount it again [17:21] hi [17:21] gerhard: what happened please explain [17:21] sipior: alsamixer seems to think it should be using onboard sound. how do i tell alsa to use a different card? [17:21] im always being told that the hostname "zarathustra" (which is my computers name) couldnt be found [17:21] ikonia: any idea if emerald may be supported at a later date? [17:21] kousotu: it is the hardy version of both packages... whatever you used to get emerald to work before is what it will need now... (probably just emerald --replace) [17:21] hi everyone! i've just installed xen on hardy, including the xen-friendly version of glibc. i still get the "your lib/tls is bad" thing in dmesg, did i miss something? [17:21] gerhard: you'll need to put it in your /etc/host file [17:21] anyone here not being able to enable Compiz, after updating from 7.10 to hardy? Using an ATI card [17:21] kousotu: no idea, I think it's replaced with ccsm [17:21] ikonia: its the same , owner is root [17:21] amerio: now try to chown it [17:21] ikonia what do i have to put there? [17:21] ccsm [17:22] ? [17:22] DaaT, which ati card do you have? [17:22] gerhard: actually show me the output of "mount" in a pastebin [17:22] linux doesn't have a Registry but it has hidden config directories (e.g. .gimp)... [17:22] ok [17:22] kousotu: The output from ubotu just said it's in hardy :/ [17:22] DaaT: if you dont get a decent answer here the wizards in #compiz-fusion can help [17:22] kousotu: it's replaced by ccsm [17:22] Johnny_5: Only the latest versions of VMware (Workstation 6, and Server 2 which is still in beta) support USB 2.x [17:22] ikonia: ^^ [17:22] CaioAlonso: radeon mobility 9700 [17:22] !info emerald [17:22] emerald (source: emerald): Decorator for compiz-fusion. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.2-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 255 kB, installed size 1380 kB [17:22] bazhang, yeah [17:22] Johnny_5: Earlier versions do USB 1.x only [17:22] which is an ideal haven for shareware registration info [17:22] bazhang: thanks as well :) [17:22] dutch_: have a look at the multimedia selector in gnome. should be able to sort alsa out from there [17:22] fearl: so it did [17:22] fearl: well spotted [17:22] DaaT, try to open the terminal and type compiz --replace [17:22] CaioAlonso: compiz worked in 7.10 without installing the ATI drivers actually [17:22] ok, trying [17:22] DaaT, see what error messages show up [17:22] 1.0.4 build-56528 [17:22] ikonia: same [17:23] amerio: I asked you to show me the output of mount in a pastebin [17:23] ikonia: http://nopaste.biz/40739 [17:23] Johnny_5: VMware Server 1.x does not support USB 2 [17:23] fearl ikonia: ok, since it IS in hardy, and I have rebooted a few times, any ideas HOW I make it show up? [17:23] hmmm.... [17:23] Johnny_5: USB 1.x should work fine though; you don't need to do anything special to make it work [17:23] amerio: looks like gerhard got it by mistake, sorry [17:23] kousotu: I said, probably emerald --replace [17:23] ikonia: u didnt ! but there is no output of mount [17:23] k [17:23] gerhard: sorry, what was your question [17:23] bazhang: is isorecorder a software to burn image with?? [17:23] DaaT, then use the http://nopaste.biz/ site if you need to show us something [17:23] lol ok [17:23] amerio: just type " mount" on the command line [17:23] hello all [17:23] isorecorder2 cht yes [17:23] hey guys ive a prob recently my ubuntu machine doesnt detect my usb wlan adapter anymore though it used to [17:24] CHT: Use brasero or 'cdrecord --data filetoburn' [17:24] well @ the moment the usb don't seem 2 b workin' 2 all....

[17:24] anyone here uses wubi? [17:24] fearl: ;] [17:24] ikonia: can i edit that file without using sudo? [17:24] but using the -r printer switch doesn't seem to do anything [17:24] i'm trying to install ubuntu using wubi [17:25] amerio: ahhh it's using fuse [17:25] but for some reason wubi crashes [17:25] ktne busy box error?

[17:28] ikonia, that was my way of introducing my question :) [17:28] DrHalan: Hardware support should be the same on 64-bit as on 32-bit, in general [17:28] microwaver: how about asking it direct [17:28] dlink is sub to cisco :) [17:28] I can't seem to get RAID1 working (7.04, 7.10 or 8.04): the alternate installer keeps telling me there are no unused autodetect devices... any ideas? [17:28] cht you read their faq? no idea really [17:28] I've already killed all instances of firefox [17:28] DrHalan: There may be a few exceptions, but I don't know of any [17:28] ikonia: same :( [17:28] cisco in office dlink at home [17:28] ikonia: cannot i change my ip? i see that in the host file it is named 127.0.1.1 [17:28] anyone here using WUBI? [17:28] amerio: I don't think you can change the owner of the root point [17:28] Wyzard, i never used a 64bit linux but everybody knows thats the fact on a windows platform [17:28] amerio: not thorugh fuse [17:28] ok, reboot needed [17:28] brb [17:28] microwaver: 10x for help man, but.. a LAN port ? on a cisco router ? :) have a mac address ? [17:28] * amerio pulling his hair [17:28] I Can't adjust my brightness, not even with the applet. Anyone know how? [17:29] gerhard: that shoulw work $laptop-name 127.0.0.1 [17:29] microwaver, what kind of laptop? [17:29] amerio: one of the prices of not using native linux file systems [17:29] sroecker vostro 1000 [17:29] definitely not a fact in windows, i tried xp x64, and had a few different pieces of hardware i couldn't use because drivers didn't exist. [17:29] WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI WUBI [17:29] anyone uses that?? [17:29] DrHalan: That's because Windows depends on drivers written by the hardware manufacturers, and many of them haven't made 64-bit drivers for all their older products [17:29] ktne: stop that [17:29] ikonia nobody is answering :( [17:29] ktne: just ask like a normal polite human [17:29] ktne please dont [17:29] ikonia that command is not accepted [17:29] ktne: no-one will answer with your current attitude [17:29] ikonia : me windows user before =) [17:30] <\pub\bash0r> hi [17:30] gerhard: what command ? [17:30] microwaver: Ask your question on a single line please, makes it impossible to read and help you otherwise. [17:30] ktne: maybe you could try throwing your rattle [17:30] amerio: move it to ext3 [17:30] DrHalan: Linux drivers are open-source and have pretty much all been ported to 64-bit by the Linux developers [17:30] Wyzard, ok. what about binary drivers like nvidia or flgrx [17:30] ikonia: $laptop-name 127.0.0.1 [17:30] anyone know if this has been handled in ubuntu? http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Subversion-broken-in-backports.org--p8973587.html [17:30] ackermann, will answer directly [17:30] join #ubuntu-classroom [17:30] gerhard: thats not a command, you need to put that in your host file, replaceing $laptop-name with your laptop name [17:30] DrHalan: nVidia's driver has a 64-bit version that works fine (I'm using it right now) and I'm pretty sure ATI does too [17:30] fearl, I can't adjust my brightness of my laptop, the applet doesn't work. [17:30] I have an ATI card in my machine, but the motherboard also has an onboard intel graphics adapter. I get output on my screen connected to the ATI card, but ubuntu doesn't give me the option to activate the fglrx driver (in gnome). Is there a way to fix this? [17:30] ikonia but i cant edit my host file [17:30] <\pub\bash0r> when isolinux is unable to display the graphical language selection, can the language still be set somehow as kernel parameter? (I thought of something like "live lang=de") [17:30] gerhard: I've told you how [17:30] microwaver: Have you checked launchpad? [17:31] btw what genious made the new commercial on the ubuntu page its awesome :D [17:31] ackermann, I think they do. not 1000% sure. [17:31] DrHalan, just don't expect flash and java to be a cakewalk (or is the java issue a thing of the past now?) [17:31] ikonia i mean if i can change my ip so i can use sudo to edit the file [17:31] Hi everyone, can any one help me with some boot problems I am having please? [17:31] alexbe01: still an issue, and will be until Java 7 [17:31] anybody have any ideas with this rdesktop problem? [17:31] ackermann, the LAN and the WAN should have 1 [17:31] subject: If you wouldn't mind informing us of the issues... [17:31] Wyzard, k, isn't java7 the version that sun is completely open-sourcing? [17:31] ikonia : so there is noway to change the ownership unless I the parition is ext3 [17:31] anyone uses wubi please? [17:31] gerhard: what part am I not making clear. you have to update your /etc/hosts file with an valid IP address that can be reoslved in /etc/hosts [17:31] fearl, how do you mean? [17:31] the wubi installer crashes! [17:31] amerio: doesn't look that way [17:31] I'm trying to upgrade to hardy from gutsy: I get no indication that there is a new release, and if I try "do-release-upgrade" it says "No new release found" [17:31] I have cvs running in ubuntu feisty but can't connect to it from windows [17:32] emerald --replace only works as long as terminal is up, xgl seems to have been removed. who do I fix this? [17:32] hello,in which package can i find dh_iconcache [17:32] DrHalan: alexbe01 is correct in pointing out that there's no 64-bit Flash or Java browser plugins -- that's the only really noteworthy 64-bit limitation I'm aware of [17:32] subject, tell us what is going wrong ;D [17:32] hawodi: check the log files [17:32] kousotu: alt f2 emerald --replace [17:32] ktne: does an error appear when the installer crashes? also, what was the installer doing when it died? [17:32] Wyzard: what issue? [17:32] alexbe01: I believe the plan is for Java 7 to be completely GPL, though I'm not certain of that [17:32] ikonia: even if I login as root and change the parition using gui ? [17:32] am using tortoisecvs client to connect. [17:32] amerio: why do you think a gui will work [17:32] sipior the installer tries to download stuff, the error is a page fault [17:32] microwaver, have you looked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/159255 ? [17:32] amerio: if you change the partition it will format your partition [17:32] <\pub\bash0r> when isolinux is unable to display the graphical language selection, can the language still be set somehow as kernel parameter? (I thought of something like "live lang=de") [17:33] DrHalan: The Adobe Flash and Sun Java browser plugins are not available in 64-bit versions [17:33] Can I down Grade out Of hardy ? What would be the best way to do that ? [17:33] DrHalan: on any OS (not just Linux) [17:33] Excuse me, how do I go back to Firefox 2? (I just upgraded to Hardy) [17:33] User2005: re-install [17:33] bazhang: that doesn't work [17:33] ktne the issue may be server related--they are still slow some places [17:33] Wyzard: It is, it will be basically what icedtea is doing, icedtea is now part of openjdk project - replacing non-free parts with classpath implementations. [17:33] Ikonia: I mean changing the permission by loggin as root [17:33] busfahrer: there is a firefox2 packag ein teh hardy repos [17:33] So in hardy with gvfs, is mounting samba shares tottally screwed? [17:33] No fun... [17:33] amerio: sudo is logging in as root [17:33] bazhang: produces an error about unable to open server blah blah.. [17:33] ktne: could you be more specific? what sort of page fault? [17:33] plagerism: no [17:33] hello i can't open .m3u with audacious in ubuntu hardy [17:33] sipior 8.04-beta caused exception C0000005 at address 686811A4 (Base: 400000) [17:33] User2005: reinstall gutsy [17:33] yeah ive installed ubuntu 8.04 onto an external HDD, when i remove it i can no longer access vista. [17:33] fearl: just the authentication part? [17:33] ok thanks [17:33] ktne: why are you using the beta releas [17:33] User2005, i downgraded last night. [17:33] plagerism: I was able to use samba perfectly well... [17:34] ktne: that's the beta. surely you want the current? [17:34] Wyzard are you guys seriosu? i cant use it then.. [17:34] DrHalan: so you can't use Flash or Java applets on 64-bit Linux unless you use one of the free alternatives (like gnash for Flash, which doesn't work very well) [17:34] fearl, i'll watch that, thanks for the link. [17:34] sipior that one was linked on the main page of the website [17:34] ktne: try downloading the latest and have another go... [17:34] ahmed: install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' [17:34] Hi all. I notice that X runs as root with Hardy. Didn't it use to run as the logged in user? [17:34] fearl: against a Windows domain, or against another samba box? [17:34] ktne: how long ago? [17:34] who should i talk with about dapper package updates? svn and ssh inparticular [17:34] DrHalan: There's a workaround for Flash involving something called nspluginwrapper to load the 32-bit Flash plugin, but I've had mixed success with it in Debian (never tried it in Ubuntu) [17:34] plagerism: Workgroup. [17:34] Ikonia: I just need that for sharing no more ! its complicated [17:34] =( [17:35] amerio: I can't fix your requirements [17:35] sipior it's the latest [17:35] plagerism: You almost certainly don't need a domain setup. [17:35] ktne: it is not [17:35] ikonia: I thank you for trying [17:35] ktne: thats teh beta [17:35] sipior http://wubi-installer.org/latest.php [17:35] Wyzard: there are not much reasons for me to go for 64 bit so i just forget abou that [17:35] emerald --replace only works as long as terminal is up, xgl seems to have been removed. how do I fix this? (seems like XGL isn't working, is there some replacement for it? [17:35] ok i need help whne i open add/remove in apps i type in zsnes it is showing but it will not let me click on it to install it. [17:35] ikonia there i clicked and downloaded [17:35] sipior Wubi-8.04.exe [17:35] ktne: then they have not updated it [17:35] does anyone know why i can't drag the mouse ( left click) files and copy&paste them in nautilus? [17:36] david_-_-: what about from terminal [17:36] ktne: download the ubuntu cd [17:36] kousotu: XGL is basically deprecated in favor of AIGLX [17:36] ikonia but i need it installed on windows [17:36] ktne: there is a wubi tool on the cd as I recall [17:36] hi folks, i've updated from gutsy to hardy with RC and now i get "hdc: drive not ready for command", my BenQ dvd-burner isnt workink any more :( ...any suggestions? [17:36] Wyzard: XGL was always intended as a temporary thing, Xglx if you have time to look into it. [17:36] HmAn: buy a new one ? [17:37] kousotu: It was useful for awhile when video drivers didn't support AIGLX yet, but now ATI and nVidia have both added AIGLX support, so there's not much reason to use XGL anymore [17:37] bazhang: it sayes http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64888/ [17:37] ikonia, i managed to edit my etc/hosts file properly [17:37] kousotu XGL is also preventing ogl apps to work properly [17:37] gerhard: great, [17:37] fearl: I know what XGL is, though I've never used it myself... kousotu is apparently trying to get it working though [17:37] bbl.. [17:38] ikonia, now i wish to reinstall xmms which has been deleted since the update to 8.04, but i am told that it would be impossible to do so [17:38] gerhard: look if the package is in the repo [17:38] ikonia, i need xmms to view my monkey's audio files [17:38] Hi, Im using Ubuntu 8.04 and Im trying to use Virt-manager but the cd-rom isnt showing up. Ever though my system sees it? Any thing Im missing? [17:38] Wyzard: Yes, but I didn't recommend you look into xgl but xglx -- which is the full xserver, instead of a nasty hack on top of xorg [17:38] david_-_-: sudo apt-get install zsnes gives that error? gutsy or hardy [17:38] <\pub\bash0r> when isolinux is unable to display the graphical language selection, can the language still be set somehow as kernel parameter? (I thought of something like "live lang=de") [17:38] bazhang: in hardy [17:38] Wyzard: I use a Intel 945 GM card [17:38] ikonia how? sorry i am not really used to these things [17:38] hello i can't open .m3u with audacious in ubuntu hardy [17:38] bazhang: yes doing that gives that errpr [17:38] bazhang: Make sure he has universe and multiverse enabled. [17:38] gerhard: open the package manager and see if the xmms package exist [17:38] david_-_-: please pastebin your sources.list [17:38] Hello I'm using gnome and i would like to know if either gnomebaker or brasero are able to burn video dvd ? [17:38] gerhard: Try audacious instead... it's the same UI as xmms, and supports the same plugins [17:39] ahmed: I already told you how to fix that. [17:39] ikonia, it does [17:39] fearl, the echo -n VALUE > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness works like a charm, praise to you [17:39] kousotu: That's supported AIGLX for even longer than nVidia/ATI have [17:39] gerhard: so click "install" on it [17:39] So I have a Mac Mini that I just installed Ubuntu Hardy on from scratch. It's hooked up to a TV via the composite output, but xorg is misdetecting the screen size. the xorg.conf file looks like it's supposed to pass things through to an autoconfig thing instead of specifying it in the config these days (probably a good thing in general). So where's the proper place to override the screen size nowadays? [17:39] fearl: Why would I want to use that either, when AIGLX works out-of-the-box? [17:39] what is the latest ubuntu i should download? [17:39] Wyzard: ok, but that doesn't show up in search [17:39] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64889/ [17:39] 8.04? [17:39] Wyzard: I just recommended you look into it, you don't have to :/ [17:39] justdave: in the xorg.conf [17:39] ktne: yes [17:40] but it's 3.8 gb [17:40] I just got Hardy [17:40] If I drag my clicked mouse in nautilus I get no shaded box why is this so? [17:40] xmms:Le paquet xmms n'est pas disponible bien qu'il soit listé dans la base de données.Les explications possibles sont que le paquet est listé dans les dépendances sans jamais avoir été publié, qu'il est devenu obsolète ou qu'il n'est pas disponible sur les dépôts vers lesquels pointe le fichier sources.list [17:40] ktne: thats a DVD [17:40] And tried to install it [17:40] ktne: goto ubuntu.com [17:40] Wyzard, i will try [17:40] ktne: download the ubuntu 8.04 cd [17:40] ktne: distrowatch.com tells of a torrent for the CD. [17:40] But it seems I can't without formatting HDD... and losing Windows [17:40] Help? [17:40] 1500/jam [17:40] david_-_-: that is not your sources.list [17:40] Does anyone know anything about emerald and gwd not working after upgrade to hardy? Nvidia, btw... [17:40] kousotu: It's in universe [17:40] ikonia can i run wubi from the ubuntu cd? [17:40] I tried using GParted and the Hardy one, but it claims I only have 8Mb free. [17:40] ikonia: specifically for hardy or is that a pre-hardy answer? xorg.conf looks different in hardy. :) [17:40] kousotu: The package is simply called "audacious" [17:40] Wyzard: I searched it.. [17:40] ktne: I believe there is a wubi tool on the cd [17:40] justdave: for both [17:40] bazhang: sorry didnt see your request for it where do i get the source list? [17:41] does anyone here understand how the vpnc network manager plugin works? [17:41] can anyone help me with connecting to cvs from windows pls? [17:41] kousotu: I'm assuming you're using 8.04; it's definitely there, but I haven't checked older versions [17:41] Wyzard, the audacious-mac package also seems to be unavailable which makes audacious useless [17:41] david_-_-: from /etc/apt/sources.list [17:41] rhys, what do you need to know? [17:41] ok, so I need to change the monitor section back to how it would have looked on a pre-hardy system then [17:41] hawodi: look in the log file to see why it's not working [17:41] it simply does not work while manual scripts with vpnc-connect work perfectly [17:41] Wyzard: that's a media player.. [17:41] Anyone? [17:41] sroecker, i enter the proper info, though I am not sure the "authentication server" means. [17:42] bazhang: sudo: /etc/apt/sources.list: command not found [17:42] PaRaSiTe2: saying "anyone" means nothing to the channel, ask a question or don't] [17:42] "Audacious is a fork of beep-media-player which supports winamp skins" [17:42] i override the username, enter my password and the group password, and it doesnt do a damn thing [17:42] uhm, what can i use to accurately subtract an audio file from another? sox's "mix" function seems to mess with volume somehow (even after specifying "-v" for input files) [17:42] rhys, anything special in your configuration? like a CA-File or something [17:42] david, you edit it. you dont run it. its a text file [17:42] LjL: can you do it with jack ? [17:42] david_-_-: what repos do you have enabled? make sure the first four are then hit refresh/reload and try installing again [17:42] Wyzard: I'm trying to use emerald, not play videos/music [17:42] kousotu: hmm... "apt-cache search monkey audio" only turns up five packages, and only one of them (jlgui, written in Java) seems to be something capable of actually playing Monkey's Audio files [17:42] sroecker, no CA file. I imported the .pcf file anyway. The base config that works manually is like 4 lines [17:42] I did dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and it didn't prompt me for screen resolutions [17:43] kousotu: oops, sorry, I'm mixing up people [17:43] henr2: Yes :D [17:43] Hi... in the progress of reverting to FF2... anyone know where FF3 saves its bookmarks? [17:43] Need help fixing a broken GDM, when I boot up the progress bar stops like 2inches in and I have to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to make it go further, it then says the GDM Greeter isn't working and keeps saying that [17:43] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64890/ [17:43] Hello. I have buyed a scanner - hp scanjet g2710 - anyone knows how to get it working? [17:43] I've just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy via the update manager and am seeing what might be odd behaviour.... When I attempt to do anything with sudo from a terminal window I'm getting an error saying "unable to resolve host my-pc-name" [17:43] Can somebody who's running hardy pastebin all the files in /usr/share/tasksel/ for me? [17:43] rhys, you could pastebin your /var/log/syslog [17:43] Wyzard: lol, np, happens alot [17:43] MrBill: you need to map your hostname to a resolavable ip address in /etc/hosts [17:43] ikonia: don't know... jack what? [17:43] ikonia: i ve installed ubuntu on a other hdd without probs [17:43] MrBill: its a know bug [17:43] Anyone? [17:43] gerhard: audacious is in 8.04, but I don't know about older Ubuntu releases [17:43] LjL: the application "jack" [17:43] Ryan52: I wouldn't worry about tasksel, it is irrelevant to Ubuntu. [17:43] but wanna use my old installation [17:43] HmAn: ? [17:44] HmAn: what was your question ? [17:44] ikonia: ah, not the sound system "jack"... not sure, isn't that just intended to rip CDs? [17:44] * Ryan52 is trying to write a preseed file and needs to know the name of the tasks... [17:44] gerhard: however, it's not clear whether it can actually play Monkey's Audio... looks like jlgui might be the only packaged program (in 8.04) capable of that [17:44] Need help fixing a broken GDM, when I boot up the progress bar stops like 2inches in and I have to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to make it go further, it then says the GDM Greeter isn't working and keeps saying that [17:44] hi folks, i've updated from gutsy to hardy with RC and now i get "hdc: drive not ready for command", my BenQ dvd-burner isnt workink any more :( ...any suggestions? [17:44] Ryan52: It is the tool Debian uses to choose packages at install time. [17:44] do i have to map it to a "live" IP or can i just map my name to 127.0.0.1? [17:44] LjL: I thought it was a an audio device interface too [17:44] fearl: what does ubuntu use? [17:44] MrBill: localhost would be fine [17:44] whats wrong with this syntax in a configure file please? [17:44] AM_PATH_XMMS(1.2.4,,have_xmms=yes) [17:44] perfect, thank you [17:44] Ryan52: meta-packages [17:44] gerhard: Consider converting your files to FLAC, which is also lossless, and well-supported [17:44] david_-_-: you have gutsy and hardy mixed sources; comment out the gutsy cd rom and the gutsy multiverse hit reload then try again [17:45] Ryan52: Take a look at 'ubuntu-desktop' for instance... Ubuntu doesn't provide choices in that department at install time. [17:45] fearl: debian just has the tasksels point to meta packages, too [17:45] hi there can any one help me to install real player on hardy [17:45] Wyzard, i think i can reinstall xmms from other repo [17:45] hello [17:45] ikonia, thanks. Which log file pls? [17:45] fearl: but I need to know this for a preseede file so I need to know what tasksel knows it as [17:45] does anyone use nvidia binary driver? [17:45] hawodi: the cvs one [17:45] is there a server manager for ubuntu servers type package, something like webmin ? [17:45] Wyzard: it's in gutsy, don't know about any others though [17:45] Ryan52: If you have it installed on a box, run it to see what tasks are available to do. Usually install *buntu-desktop and lamp server are in there at least [17:45] fearl: cause ubuntu still uses tasksel [17:45] bazhang: the gutsy at the top? [17:45] gerhard: xmms is barely maintained anymore and pulls in the ugly old GTK 1.2 library [17:45] lilebox is the closest, but if you need a tool like that, in my view you shouldn't be managing a server [17:45] david_-_-: and the bottom both of them (three in total) [17:45] I can't seem to resize my Windows HDD, any help? I've used the Hardy one and GParted, neither work. It claims I only have 8Mb free when I have over 37Gb. [17:46] Hi... in the progress of reverting to FF2... anyone know where FF3 saves its bookmarks? [17:46] Ryan52: No it doesn't. [17:46] Need help fixing a broken GDM, when I boot up the progress bar stops like 2inches in and I have to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to make it go further, it then says the GDM Greeter isn't working and keeps saying that [17:46] fearl: Ubuntu-desktop is a package and not a task, as like for instance to install a lamp server [17:46] gerhard: and it's not really XMMS itself that matters, but the .ape plugin for it [17:46] Limbeaux: that was for you [17:46] genii: Im asking for somebody to pastebin it for me because I dont have a ubuntu box [17:46] k. will look at ra. [17:46] bazhang: done [17:46] Limbeaux: also why not use the desktop version [17:46] fearl: the alternate installer does [17:46] PaRaSiTe2: defrag in windows [17:46] sroecker, is that where the daemon prints its errors? [17:46] ahh. Im looking at it now. it prints via a command the config parameters. I will work on that a bit. thanks. Damn GUIs [17:46] hi thre can any one help to install real player on hardy pls [17:46] ikonia: no, doesn't have that feature according to the manpage [17:46] Wyzard, thats right [17:46] rhys, yes [17:46] rdesktop help, anyone? [17:46] LjL: rats, I wasn't certain [17:46] Wyzard, what was that other tool? jlgui ? [17:46] emerald --replace only works as long as terminal is up, xgl seems to have been removed. how do I fix this? (seems like XGL isn't working), is there some replacement for it? [17:46] david_-_-: now refresh reload and try again [17:46] rhys, http://pastebin.com/ [17:46] Does anyone know a tutorial or something of how to do a multi-boot cd with kubuntu and ubuntu? [17:46] dcotruta: whats your problem with it? [17:46] can someone please tell me why there is no Click and Drag in nautilus ? [17:47] yeah -- it makes it easier for people not familiar with linux to add users and such when i am not around [17:47] spydon: they are the same OS why not just install both desktop apcakge [17:47] Limbeaux: so use the desktop version [17:47] spydon, why is that necessary? if you just can change sessions? [17:47] devin_: there is. [17:47] bazhang: It's 2% fragmented, but OK. [17:47] gerhard: I've never used jlgui, but in "apt-cache search monkey audio" it appears to be the only thing that can actually play the format [17:47] Limbeaux: lots of nice gui tools [17:47] spydon, you can have kde and gnome side by side [17:47] ikonia, I shall not install them [17:47] sroecker, I got it. massive lag there [17:47] very well [17:47] unop, I know [17:47] i will try jlgui [17:47] ikonia: although sox *really* should do it, anyway... there must be some subtlety i'm missing [17:47] gerhard: no idea how well it works [17:47] i need them on a live cd [17:47] whats wrong with this syntax in a configure file please? [17:47] AM_PATH_XMMS(1.2.4,,have_xmms=yes) [17:47] Someone please help with my broken GDM greeter! [17:47] and not side by side [17:47] that is probably while i will have to do [17:47] PaRaSiTe2: then nvm; you want to resize ntfs? [17:47] sroecker, i do IT and extensive slackware/Arch etc. its the over systems im not used to [17:47] bazhang: nope same thing [17:47] Yeah. [17:47] Does anyone know if the Ubuntu Server install comes with SSH installed as default? [17:47] Wyzard, i will see. thanks for the hint [17:47] Ward1983: stop asking 1.) thats nothing to do with ubuntu 2.) thats not a conifugre error [17:47] @ bazhang. [17:47] fearl can you left click and get a highlighted box around files you want to copy&paste? [17:48] Ward1983: Why are you compiling XMMS? [17:48] david_-_-: sudo apt-get update shows what [17:48] LjL: I'm not massive with sox [17:48] devin_: yes [17:48] gerhard: Unless you specifically need .ape format, FLAC would be preferable [17:48] fearl hmm odd that i can not [17:48] how do i upgrade wiht a cd-rom [17:48] ikonia: there is no log file cvs folder [17:48] Wyzard, im not compiling xmms, im compiling a plugin for g15deamon [17:48] spydon, well, it's straight forward nonetheless -- install ubuntu first, install kubuntu second and edit grub accordingly [17:48] hawodi: make sure logging is enabled [17:48] I'm trying to upgrade to hardy from gutsy: I get no indication that there is a new release, and if I try "do-release-upgrade" it says "No new release found" [17:48] rhys, sorry, so much new users here today :) [17:48] Wyzard, but i have a giant collection in monkeys audio format [17:48] ikonia, im sorry then i need to go look for another distro where they DO give help [17:48] Ward1983: ok [17:48] unop, I dont want to install! [17:48] bazhang: Does it work with NTFS? [17:48] Ward1983: good luck with that ;] [17:48] how do I enable loging pls? [17:48] Someone please help with my broken GDM greeter! [17:48] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64891/ [17:49] hawodi: logging of? [17:49] bazhang, well i meant without arrogant idiots like ikonia [17:49] Wyzard, it would take very much efforts to transform all these files to FLAC format [17:49] gerhard: hey i've a tutorial here http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html you can get monkey's codec from here http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/sf/m/ma/mac-port and compile it, tell me if something goes wrong [17:49] i have question for nvidia users: what framebuffer do you use? what say "fbset -i"? which modules have you in /etc/modules and /etc/initramfs-tools/modules? whats say: "lsmod | grep -i fb"? [17:49] emerald --replace only works as long as terminal is up, xgl seems to have been removed. how do I fix this? (seems like XGL isn't working), is there some replacement for it? [17:49] Ward1983: ok, [17:49] gerhard: I'm sure there are scripts available that can help with conversion [17:49] spydon, you want people to read your mind? [17:49] bazhang: same it shows but is unclickable. [17:49] Ryan52: Here's a screenshot of tasks available on my system for instance http://i27.tinypic.com/w99tgm.png [17:49] genii: thanks [17:49] unop, sorry I said that to ikonia before and I thought it was you :P [17:49] gerhard: and you won't lose anything in the process since both formats are lossless [17:49] Would anyone know what to make of the outout of strace emerald --replace? It just seems to loop and receive -EAGAIN signals... [17:49] sroecker, perfectly understand. I noticed some of the errors they're pasting. with 8.04 out now...I'm doing this as a professional task. I prefer my simplicity [17:49] Ryan52: np [17:49] david_-_-: close add/remove [17:49] wow lossless formats is about ubuntu? [17:49] damn [17:50] does the installer allow you to resize ntfs? [17:50] unop, there is so many people in here so I gete totally confused :P [17:50] Ward1983, what? [17:50] bazhang: i did and i refreshed and updated [17:50] doofy_, partedmagic < google it [17:50] Ward1983: I thought you where looking for a new distro ? [17:50] Ward1983: please take the attitude to ##windows thanks [17:50] Someone please help with my broken GDM greeter! [17:50] rhys, nothing jsut ignore me [17:50] bazhang: its saying same thing in term when i type in sudo apt-get install zsnes. [17:50] Ryan52: didn't see any log file. How do I enable logging pls? [17:50] spydon, i suggest therapy through meditation :) [17:50] absnt: What is wrong with it? [17:50] hawodi: look in the config file where it's set to log (assuming it is set) [17:50] rhys, so im assuming it doesnt. I don't want to resize NTFS, im trying to help my friend install and I was sure if he was going to have to do more than just use the installer [17:50] david_-_-: what does apt-cache search zsnes return [17:51] unop, I'm already taking therapy through linux :P [17:51] ikonia, how come you dont bitch to others taling about various stuff? i just need help... [17:51] fearl: when I boot up it hangs at the progress bar and I ahve to hit ctrl+alt+del to get it to go, then it says the GDM Greeter isnt working and just keeps saying that [17:51] spydon: it's a hard channel to follow, if possible always try to same peoples names and they will do the same to you, it makes it easy to follow [17:51] !ot | Ward1983 [17:51] Ward1983: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [17:51] Ward1983, help with what ? [17:51] Ward1983: they ask questions a.) nicley b.) relevant to ubuntu [17:51] Ward1983: maybe you're a windows kiddie, but WE here, actually try to learn and help, and we're all here by hoice, learning and debugging TOGETHER [17:51] bazhang: It is NTFS. Does it still work? [17:51] kousotu, i use ubuntu for 2 and a half yearm whats wrong with you people? [17:52] absnt: what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log have to say about the matter? [17:52] doofy_, true. by generally, partedmagic is a project you want to chukc 5$ at through paypal and keep the disk handy at all times. [17:52] rhys, looks like it does resize ntfs though [17:52] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64892/ [17:52] spydon: that should read "say peoples names" not same peoples names [17:52] Ward1983: define "us people" [17:52] PaRaSiTe2: should do; you might look into getting the partedmagic live cd imo though [17:52] Ward1983: then you should know how to report a simple error [17:52] any suggestions for a good screencast recorder? istanbul and byzanz are in repository, neither looks particularly impressive by their description... === mystery[ZzZ] is now known as mysterycool [17:52] rhys, you could also start NetworkManager --no-daemon for better debugging [17:52] !screencast [17:52] Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [17:52] does anybody know if terminal server in ubuntu works like windows termial server in remote admin mode (basicaly remote desktop) or does it just serve up a complete os to thin clients? [17:52] ikonia, I understand, but its hard when so many people answers at the same time :P [17:52] aright well i can't Click and Drag while files being shown as (view as list) why so? [17:52] dwhsix|work: i use recordmydesktop and xvidcap [17:52] ikonia, it reports a syntax error and i dunno that specific syntax... is that so hard to understand??? [17:52] Limbeaux: look a the ltsp project [17:52] FFS [17:52] kousotu: please don't feed the trolls... they come back [17:52] thanks [17:52] bazhang: I tried GParted on the System Rescue Live CD [17:52] Same thing. [17:52] bazhang: i have gotten the file off rombomb but its .tar i do not know how to install it that way. [17:53] fearl: what am i looking for? [17:53] i'm running xen on hardy as dom0 with libc6-xen/hardy 2.7-10ubuntu3, but still getting "Currently emulating unsupported memory accesses in /lib/tls glibc libraries" in dmesg. what's going wrong there? [17:53] Ward1983: good luck with your new distro [17:53] Ward1983: Most people here are probably not developers and don't have experience using autoconf [17:53] absnt: Any errors... [17:53] fearl: I'm used to trolls, and I'm quite good at smiting them in short order [17:53] Wyzard: I'm mre than capable of using autoconf thanks [17:53] david_-_-: no need for that--need to fix your serious repo problem [17:53] Hello! Where can I discuss Hardy issues? [17:53] ackbahr: welcome. here is fine [17:53] Wyzard, well i was hoping someone would, but i know my chances wouldnt be great [17:53] kousotu: Does no good, you're giving them what they want. [17:53] ikonia: I said most people, not everyone :-) [17:53] Wyzard: true [17:53] ackbahr: here [17:53] sroecker, networkmanager is not a service set under init.d ... unless its networking? [17:53] Ward1983: so please don't get angry with the entire channel and start insulting people because nobody answered your question [17:54] emerald --replace only works as long as terminal is up, xgl seems to have been removed. how do I fix this? (seems like XGL isn't working), is there some replacement for it? [17:54] bazhang: i type in all of no need for that--need or just --need ? [17:54] Wyzard: the problem is I told him what he was pasting wasn't actually the error [17:54] * fearl didn't even see the question Ward1983 asked [17:54] Wyzard, still to start acting like that just because i ask something... man am i glad there are localised channels with normal people (so yesm i dont need you ikonia) [17:54] How do I bring general automatic networking down to run it in debug mode? [17:54] fearl, sorry ikonia said i needed to stop asking so i stopped [17:54] Ward1983: if you cant be polite, not name call and abide by the code of conduct I'd ask you to not speak [17:54] Ward1983: suite yourself [17:54] david_-_-: sorry that is not my meaning--you need to fix your sources.list problem and dont try to install tarballs [17:54] have anyone nvidia binary driver? [17:55] ikonia, thats NOT what you said, scroll up... [17:55] master_alvaro: What is wrong with it for you? [17:55] Great. I upgraded yesterday, and my Nvidia graphic card doesn't seem to work anymore; tried to install other pilots and utilities, but nothing accepts to install either. Is the problem known/solved? [17:55] Ward1983: My recommendation would be to try a developer-oriented channel [17:55] ikonia, you kindof told me to STFU [17:55] Ward1983: you scroll, up that is what I said [17:55] rhys, I gets started by /etc/init.d/dbus [17:55] The bottom panel on my desktop will quite often have scrambled colors rather than properly rendering the images [17:55] Ward1983: Stop... ask your question, or try #gcc or something. [17:55] fearl: i have problem with framebuffer [17:55] Ward1983: nope [17:55] Wyzard, thankyou i will [17:55] When I try to update 5.10 to 6.04 by checking for updates with the Update Manager, I get a popup saying "Please upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu Linux.

[17:57] ikonia, i told you it was a syntax error and i pasted the corresponding line [17:57] absnt: in /var/log [17:57] i think some people are feeling a bit popular today... [17:57] Can anyone else help me? [17:57] Ward1983: thats no the line [17:57] Ward1983: You asked about syntax of: AM_PATH_XMMS(1.2.4,,have_xmms=yes) [17:57] sound also... [17:57] Wyzard: exactly [17:57] kousotu: ahh why I'm setting up the printer on my ubuntu system not on windows? [17:57] Wyzard, yes thqt is the line out of the configure file [17:57] lol internets [17:57] fearl: oh, ok ill post it, but I searched for (EE) and got nothing [17:57] I'm taking a break for a short bit david_-_- be back in a few [17:58] Ward1983: OK; I thought you were writing a configure.ac file or something [17:58] kousotu: That seems to work fine with aiglx on my laptop (not on right now). Is the problem that emerald doesn't get started when compiz does, leading you to run emerald --replace in a terminal and having emerald quit when you quit the terminal? [17:58] fearl: btw im using the live disk because i cant even get in =/ [17:58] kousotu: the printer is physically attached to the windows system but want it setup on the ubuntu system as I have the printer shared [17:58] The bottom panel on my desktop will quite often have scrambled colors rather than properly rendering the images. It is set to autohide, be clear and not expand and I want to keep that, but how can I fix this? [17:58] TheWarden: sorry, ou made that sound bad [17:58] kousotu: Or did I misunderstand something?

The version you are running will no longer get security fixes or other critical updates. Please see http://www.ubuntulinux.org for upgrade information." Now how can I do that without the Update Manager? [17:58] Wyzard, again: as i explained im compiling a xmms plugin for g15daemon, im talking about its configure file [17:58] are there any projects on creating a small adnd usable presentation program for gtk? or OO.o impress is my only choise? [17:58] aki_: I don't think you can go from 5.10 to 6.06 by update [17:58] aki_: I think you have to reinstall [17:59] aki_: but thats only a comment from memory [17:59] Ward1983: speak tot he mainter or support in your new distro [17:59] Ward1983: so you're getting an error when running ./configure (this wasn't clear previously) [17:59] Fjodor: yea. I upgraded from Gutsy, and everythign worked untill I did [17:59] nikin: Impress is the only option, sorry... although there is also kpresent if you prefer Qt to java beasts. [17:59] Wyzard: it doesn't matter, it's still not the error line [17:59] ikonia, you're ignored so you can stop now [17:59] ikonia, I follow as it say at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades#head-8f6f04846f29e7ce769e50cbfd30f0d4a301f12c [17:59] aki_: For that old, you need to upgrade by way of changing sources.list to be dapper instead of breezy [17:59] Fjodor: now I'm just trying to make it all cooperate again [17:59] aki_: looking [17:59] Wyzard, correct, sorry if it wasnt clear [17:59] kousotu: Try opening ccsm [17:59] Ward1983: try 'apt-get build-dep xmms' [17:59] The bottom panel on my desktop will quite often have scrambled colors rather than properly rendering the images.

[18:01] kousotu: Then go to the prefs for the Window Decoration plugin [18:01] aki_: thats good info. the sources.list is in /etc/apt/ [18:01] "syslog", "kern.log" and "debug" ar all nearly 200mb [18:01] are they really needed? [18:01] kousotu: type ccsm in a terminal window [18:01] hoelk: logrotation [18:01] aki_: /etc/apt/sources.list inside there will be references to the codename of the version, change it to next version, in this case dapper from breezy. You need to open it with admin rights to change it also, so: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:01] fearl, same error [18:01] hoelk: log rotation [18:01] Ward1983: What is the plugin?

[18:02] hi, I am having trouble enabling agilx on hardy [18:02] Quick question about upgrading from gutsy to hardy using the alternate cd: if my graphics card works fine using a restricted driver in Gutsy but it's not finding any restricted drivers on the Hardy livecd (no internet connection) will my drivers not work anymore after the upgrade? [18:02] i didn't think breezy was supported these days [18:02] absnt: please add '| tail -n50' to the command I told you. [18:02] alexbe01: it's not [18:02] alexbe01: hence why he's upgrading [18:02] fearl: That option in the package manager is not available in the version he uses [18:02] fearl, just a sec i'll get the link [18:02] would be less painful to install fresh, i would think [18:02] why are we discussing this, this is nothing to do with ubuntu support [18:02] kousotu: Indeed. What does the Window Decoration plugin say it's using as the command to launch a window decorator? [18:02] genii: uhh... it's been there since 0.5 and remains in 0.7... [18:02] alexbe01: I agree with that [18:02] I don't want to upgrade and then not be able to use compiz or anything. [18:02] but cool :) [18:02] can anybody help with compiz on ubunt [18:02] hello there! [18:02] ikonia: whats log rotation? [18:03] fearl, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=172261 [18:03] I'm not able to have xfce4-session run automatically after login in gdm... may you help me please? [18:03] anyone know of a .deb for zsnes on a 64 amd hardy [18:03] Ward1983: also, what is the output from make exactly? please direct that at me explicitly so I can see it. [18:03] ahamino: join #compiz-fusion [18:03] hoelk: it's where it rotates your log files out to a "save" file and clears them down to 0 for your new file [18:03] fearl, there g15daemon XMMS plugin [18:03] hi everyone. does someone know if with hardy are there problems whit xorg evdev driver? thanks [18:03] fearl: tail -n50 /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [18:03] Hey, ever since the update to 8.04 I've been having some problems with my Dell Inspiron 6400, for one my Wifi LED doesn't work anymore and the key combination that changed the brightness of my display doesn't have as many levels, which makes the transition rough and the display is either all bright or all dark.... any ideas? [18:03] Have 8.04 bootable disk burned. How to upgrade using it from 7.10? [18:03] Ward1983: also, if you don't have build-essential ... I reserve the right to hit you :P [18:03] ikonia but how to do that? [18:03] fearl: this is nothing to do with ubuntu - he can't run make as the configure is not completing [18:03] fearl: can we move the topic elsewhere please. [18:03] john207: you need to download the alternate cd, not the live cd [18:04] fearl, lol offcourse i have build-essential, and g15daemon works fine :) [18:04] is it me, or is 2.6.22 faster than 2.6.24? (using Hardy) [18:04] the livecd can only make a fresh install, not upgrade [18:04] hoelk: there is normally scripts setup in cron [18:04] hmm [18:04] Fjodor: /usr/bin/compiz-decorator [18:04] or you could upgrade using update-manager [18:04] what do I choose for a printer if my printer is not listed? I have a Lexmark Z23 (I know piece of crap) [18:04] Just upgraded to 8.04, now my firefox (3.0) is not localized (german). What can I do about it [18:04] ? [18:04] Where do I go to download alternate cd? [18:05] I have this hardy rc version for more than a week now and still no updates. is this normal? [18:05] hzi all, while booting i am "waiting for root file system" until busy-box [18:05] fearl, since ./configure failed there are no makefiles [18:05] john207: same place as the normal cd, just check the box that says "alternte" [18:05] fearl, its q syntqx error though so normqlly the problem should be within the configure file itself [18:05] wifi 192.168.3.2/24 | eth0 172.24.16.10/24 | from a machine on the internal lan it can go to 172.24.16.10 and to 192.168.2.3 | but NOT to the modem that has 192.168.2.1 | how can I get traffic to pass the wifi 192.168.2.3 to 192.168.2.1 from the internal lan? [18:05] fearl, sorry i recently changed keyboard layout [18:05] kousotu: Indeed, and that one doesn't try emerald. It does some other good stuff, though, now that I actually looked at it, so perhaps we should play with that instead. Otherwise, I was going to suggest that you put the command /usr/bin/emerald --replace into that setting instead [18:05] thank you [18:05] Ward1983: #autotools probably [18:06] ? [18:06] fearl, will try thanx [18:06] so will hardy still be able to use my restricted drivers from gutsy in hardy or not? [18:06] Lexmark only provides Red Hat Linux driver, would that work with Ubuntu? [18:06] Veinor: there are tools that a hardy specific [18:06] Veinor: eg: hardy has it's own restricted drivers [18:06] fearl: ? i did tail -n50 [18:06] kousotu: in a terminal: sudo nano /usr/bin/compiz-decorator [18:06] hengst: I think you need add entries to the routing table :\ [18:06] hengst: check in google: firestarter, /etc/netwrok/interfaces, bridge br0 [18:06] !grub [18:06] 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 === root1 is now known as Kamus_H_Zwisch [18:06] ikonia: I just used the built-in Gutsy RDM to install my drivers. But when I launch Hardy from a livecd, it's not finding any drivers [18:06] !bluetooth [18:06] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [18:07] absnt: 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | tail -n50' in full. [18:07] hengst, simple ip forwarding/routing should do [18:07] strange I click on Red Hat Linux driver for the printer and now it states its a Mandrake Linux printer driver. [18:07] Where can I get the ubuntu dvd? [18:07] Veinor: can't comment on the livecd [18:07] Says No proprietary drivers [18:07] JonasD: The complete german language pack is probably not installed [18:07] kousotu: Find the line that says USE_EMERALD="no" and change the "no" to "yes" [18:07] Hello, I was currently transferring files to my usb stick and then lost power to my computer. Now the usb stick is corrupted and I can't read nor write to it. I can't even format it with gparted [18:07] Kl4m: how do I install it? [18:07] Jack_Sparrow: stop use illegal software! [18:07] Can anyone point me to a tutorial or explain briefly how to set up remote desktop control/viewing between two ubuntu machines? I know under System > Pref > Remote Desktop I can enable it, but what do I use to connect? Do I need ultraVNC installed or anything? [18:07] * delcoyote hi [18:07] Fjodor: can I use gedit insted of nano? [18:07] ikonia: basically what I'm asking is, if I upgrade to hardy, then will I still have my restricted drivers? [18:07] !ot > master_alvaro [18:07] kousotu: Sure thing :-) [18:07] Veinor: yes you will [18:07] all right. [18:08] Kl4m: i.e. which packages are needed? [18:08] JonasD: Go to system --> administration --> (something about languages). check german and apply [18:08] Fjodor: I HATE nano [18:08] lol [18:08] fearl: ok did that [18:08] http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/08/04/28/012238.shtml [18:08] If I don't know my root password, I guess the only thing to do is to reinstall everything, huh? [18:08] kousotu: Fair enough ;-) [18:08] Hey, ever since the update to 8.04 I've been having some problems with my Dell Inspiron 6400, for one my Wifi LED doesn't work anymore and the key combination that changed the brightness of my display doesn't have as many levels, which makes the transition rough and the display is either all bright or all dark.... any ideas? [18:08] ttyl... [18:08] absnt: ok... let me see it. [18:08] Yeah, I know I'm an idiot. [18:08] John_S one sec, I can help with that [18:08] absnt: dpaste.org [18:08] !root | aki [18:08] aki_: why does sudo not work ? [18:08] aki: 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 [18:08] aki_: do you have recovery console in your grub menu? [18:08] i can not get zsnes to install through add/remove or terminal. [18:08] Can someone help me ? [18:08] if you do, then boot into that and you'll have a root shell, then you can use passwd to change your password [18:09] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks, no problem, I'm patient. :) [18:09] fearl: dpaste.org doesnt work =/ [18:09] brb [18:09] mmm the driver appears to be a shell script .sh, I wish I knew if this would work or not. [18:09] kousotu: When done, restart compiz as you see fit. I normally use fusion-icon, but you may be used to something else. At any rate, logging out and in again should be sure to do the trick ;-) [18:09] fearl: http://pastebin.com/d4a154696 [18:09] absnt: What do you mean it doesn't work? www.dpaste.org? [18:09] . [18:09] logouting... [18:09] aki_: of course, if you're trying to login as root, then you just need to use sudo instead [18:09] david: what is your error? [18:09] /server irc.freenode.net [18:09] fearl: You're right (had to go check to be sure) [18:09] fearl: address not found [18:10] if i got 2 the vmware site & download it will it just upgrade what i got? [18:10] ikonia, just one more question, is it safe to delete the logfiles? [18:10] absnt: eh... anyways, that's not the output of the command I told you... should only be 50 lines. [18:10] The sysctl net/ipv4/ip_forward toggles the IP forwarding functionality on a linux box. [18:10] Does anybody know why I don't get anymore preview out of my video file icon ?!?!?! [18:10] Kl4m: hmm. I am using kubuntu, the procedure is probably different... [18:10] Johnny_5 which version of vmware [18:10] can i use UUIDs, in /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml ? "UUID=...." [18:10] vmware server does not play well with 8.04 [18:10] Fjodor: it only uses the one I have set at boot, but doesn't replacethe theme I wish to use [18:11] John_S Read this then ask questions.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64901/ [18:11] fearl: sorry i think i included the previous command heh [18:11] absnt: You didn't, this one is less... [18:11] hi [18:11] hello, who can help me? I'm trying entry in java room...and I cannot register ny nick [18:11] aki: I saw a tutorial in someone's ubuntu blog about resetting root passwords by booting from the ubuntu install CD and modifying some of the system files on your computer. Seems like it would work, but you'll have to google to find the article unfortunately. [18:11] kousotu: I think that would be a case for emerald-theme-manager perhaps? [18:11] fearl: http://pastebin.com/d3ad8dcd3 there you go, sorry [18:11] absnt: 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | tail -n50' just copy and paste into a terminal [18:11] !register [18:11] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [18:12] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks I'll read it now. [18:12] k [18:12] Or is it because it still loads gtk-window-decorator? [18:12] i've downloaded the isos for hardy, but my cdrom/dvd has been spoilt. Can i use the isos to upgrade ? i have mount the isos [18:12] I tried installing Hardy in WinXP - it tried to boot, then it froze with a slightly scrambled screen - would that have anything to do with the fact that I'm using a wireless keyboard/mouse? Or is it my monitor/graphics hardware? [18:12] hi everyone. does someone know if with hardy are there problems whit xorg evdev driver? thanks [18:12] JonasD: #kbuntu ? [18:12] absnt: That looks to me like X started fine... so GDM should be working... [18:12] Fjodor: I used that to change it, but it crashes the themesentirely if I replace and close the terminal [18:12] JonasD: I mean, #kubuntu [18:12] absnt: hardy? try just 'Install Ubuntu' [18:12] Kl4m: ok, I will try, ty [18:12] fearl: you want /var/log or /media/var/log (im using the live disk, I have you /media/var/log/Xorg.0.log) [18:12] Hello, I was currently transferring files to my usb stick and then lost power to my computer. Now the usb stick is corrupted and I can't read nor write to it. I can't even format it with gparted. Can anyone help? [18:12] absnt: Rather than 'Try without installing' or whatever. [18:13] hi all [18:13] absnt: I wanted the LiveCD's /var/log [18:13] fearl: will install Ubuntu cause me to loose all my settings/apps [18:13] is it possible to upgrade by mounting the isos without burning CDs [18:13] Does anybody know why I don't get anymore preview (thumbnail) out of my video file icon ?!?!?! [18:13] kousotu: Well, let's go back to the old idea, then. In ccsm, prefs for Window Decorator - instead of "/usr/bin/compiz-decorator", write "/usr/bin/emerald --replace" [18:13] why has Ubuntu set pulseaudio as default audio system for Hardy? Pulse audio sucks. I get sound glitches randomly when switching from a window to another. [18:14] Are there any particular problems with Ubuntu 8.04 and Intel E2160 dual-core processors? [18:14] absnt: the CD contains 'Wubi' try with that.... it will show up in Add/Remove Programs in Windows, and will let you boot into Linux when you turn on the computer if you wish. [18:14] hello [18:14] always liked the idea of swapping over to Ubuntu if I got the chance, but my old laptop just had too many issues to make it worthwhile. [18:14] absnt Please read the wubi faq and warnings before using it [18:15] I installed 8.04 amd64 [18:15] absnt: Just try using the CD from Windows should autorun Wubi... [18:15] and it FAILED [18:15] Fjodor: will have to reboot, yes? [18:15] I cant access my documents because there is no crypto support and just loop0 [18:15] eternal_p: i have 1.0.4 build-56528 but the one i'm lookin' @ is vmware 2.0. btw i'm still runnin 7.10 [18:15] how to have kernel with all typical crypto (aes) and with more loops? [18:15] QUESTION: | So where is this video/sound/session recorder mentioned on 8.04 release notes? I can not see it anywhere on the start menu [18:15] fearl: i think there is a misunderstanding heh, I have ubuntu installed (and got a lot of stuff working) but somehow when I boot up it hangs at the progress bar and says gdm greeter isnt working [18:15] kousotu: logging out and in again should more than do it ;-) [18:15] rrr3: Why aren't you using something sane like encfs ? [18:15] Johnny_5: i would wait for 2.0 to become final if I were you, but that is just my opinion, 2.0 is still buggy [18:15] Gotta love the insanity of #ubuntu. [18:15] Johnny_5: I've tried out the Server 2.0 beta... it's quite different from 1.x [18:16] Johnny_5: if you want USB 2.0, etc. go for VMWare 6 workstation [18:16] Interesting. Had to reboot my machine. In the middle of a game, suddenly screen goes off and I've lost all connection. C-A-BS does nothing, had to power cycle. Can't see anything in syslog or messages, though. [18:16] fearl: thats why im using the livecd, because i can't get into my normal install [18:16] Are there any particular problems with Ubuntu 8.04 and Intel E2160 dual-core processors? [18:16] well, that ctrl + alt + backspace, more or less a soft rebot [18:16] reboot* [18:16] k [18:16] anybody with hardy able to test a deb package? [18:16] brb [18:16] absnt: Well that log isn't enlightening, so I'm afraid I can't help you, sorry. [18:16] Araneidae_: What game was it? [18:16] kousotu: Not really. That's just killing the graphical part, which is then restarted. Sort of the same that happens when you log out [18:17] Since upgrading to Hardy, "Always on Top" doesn't seem to work - anybody else having this problem? [18:17] fearl: there is no command to reconfigure GDM? it was a setting that I changed and probably just need to set everything to default [18:17] Dunas, "Project Eden", under Wine, with an ATI fglrx driver. [18:17] Fjodor: same problem, each change requires a relog [18:17] I've played many hours without trouble. Guess I broke fglrx [18:17] absnt: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg might do the trick... [18:18] Well, I can't help much I'm afraid. :/ [18:18] absnt: within a chroot though... [18:18] absnt: chroot /where/ever/you/put/the/installed/system [18:18] Are there any other relevant log files? [18:18] Hi i just installed Ubuntu 8.04 onto an external hard drive, with vista being my main OS. When i remove the Ext HDD vista no longer boots, and i get an error (21). Can anyone help? [18:18] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks, I think that is all I should need to know about remote desktop, except one small thing: in Terminal Server Client, is it necessary to enter "Domain" and "Client Hostname", or can I leave those blank? Seems like having the person's IP/username/password should be enough. [18:18] That's odd now. Sorry, but I don't really know why it doesn't stick, then :-( [18:19] kousotu: does Ubuntu freeze up on shutdown? [18:19] John_S you don't need domain/client to use it [18:19] fearl: so it would be the current mount point? like chroot /media/disk [18:19] MilitantPotato: no [18:19] anyone having problems with firefox 3 [18:19] Are there any problems with Ubuntu 8.04 and Intel E2160 dual-core processors? [18:19] Kopfgeldjaeger This is the wrong room for testing that [18:19] professor_: rock solid for me [18:19] Hello, I'm trying to get my Dell wirelss working on hardy. Everything tells me its working, but it can't detect any networks. Another computer I have can see the network, and my router tells me its working. Any ideas? [18:19] Fjodor: the one I loged off with does, just won't switch like it should [18:19] absnt: yes.... [18:19] every time I go to websites sometimes it just shuts off completly [18:19] kousotu: Strange... [18:19] dunas you have a specific issue or just curious [18:19] please!! how can I register my nick here?? [18:20] eternal_p: Thanks, I didnt think so. :) [18:20] eduardo_: /nick [18:20] eduardo_: /ns register password email [18:20] eduardo_: /msg nickserv register help [18:20] how would I upgrade svn and openssh beyond the versions in dapper 6.06? [18:20] HHello. [18:20] other than from source [18:20] I will try it, thanks everyone [18:20] bazhang: Just curious. I don't have any experience with Ubuntu on a desktop, and it had a lot of issues on an AMD64 laptop that is now dead, so I'm kind of concerned about testing the water this time. [18:20] John_S the client hosname is needed.. it should be the name of the machine as in my example.. john-desktop [18:20] How is Hardy? [18:20] Hello. [18:21] professor_: I pain in the ass? :P [18:21] dunas should be fine--the 32 bit supprots dual core you know [18:21] Any ideas why "login -f blah" would give "Permission denied"? How can I debug what's going on? [18:21] !register > eduardo_ [18:21] komputes, true, true.. [18:21] wheres the plugins folder for xmms2? i have downloaded a mac plugin for it [18:21] subject: the problem is that the MBR of your main hard drive is looking for the external hard drive to load 'grub' (the ubuntu boot loader)... you should google for info on restoring vista mbr [18:21] Jack_Sparrow: OK, thanks for the correction. :) [18:21] Fjodor: That's what I said [18:21] np [18:21] lol [18:21] fearl: because Im using cryptsetup/LUKS. [18:21] bazhang: Well that's good. Thanks. [18:21] dunas best to run a livecd first though [18:21] Can someone help me get volume control to work? It suddenly stopped working and I cannot figure out how to get it back - some in the forum seem to be experiencing the same problem. [18:21] is it sage to uninstall sysklogd?

It just sits there doing nothing... [18:22] k' [18:22] how would I upgrade svn and openssh beyond the versions in dapper 6.06? [18:22] Hello all! Do you know how to manually change the screen resolution from terminal outside the graphical session? Ubuntu tries to set my resolution higher than what my graphics card or monitor supports, but I cannot edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf like I used to do. Pointers please? [18:22] how to get _exact_ sources of current ubuntu kernel (including ubuntu patches) and just change one option and build that? [18:22] kousotu: So I can't really test anything :-( [18:22] Hello, I was currently transferring files to my usb stick and then lost power to my computer. Now the usb stick is corrupted and I can't read nor write to it. I can't even format it with gparted. Can anyone help? [18:22] rrr3: apt-cache show dmcrypt ... the kernel should already support it... [18:23] My video output (xv, Intel X3100) in totem just turned black and white only. Switching to "no xv" gives me colors, though. How can I get them back with xv? [18:23] kousotu: could you repeat the problem you're having? I cant find it in the chat log [18:23] lunartear check dapper backports for newer versions [18:23] sroecker, problem i think, from the logs it isnt transmitting the group password. [18:23] hello all [18:23] fearl: no "dmcrypt". brb [18:23] bbl === alexbe01 is now known as Daisuke_Laptop [18:23] Fjodor: emerald works, it just won't replace like it would have on Gutsy. thus requiring a reboot or terminal o change theme [18:23] Jack_Sparrow: I need newer versions than whats in backports to get a bug fix === fophillipse is now known as fophillips === eduardo_ is now known as eduar2 [18:24] Hello, I'm trying to get my Dell wirelss working on hardy. Everything tells me its working, but it can't detect any networks. Another computer I have can see the network, and my router tells me its working. Any ideas? [18:24] vlet: thanks im going to give it a go. === Hydrogone is now known as Hydrogen [18:24] kousotu: have you installed fusion-icon, it would make dealing with that bug easier. [18:24] lunartear I suggest a full system backup if you decide to go outside dapper repos. [18:24] shadowblade: what does sudo iwlist scanning show [18:24] rhys, Interesting, I think a friend of mine has the same problem. works for me thought. Did you save the group passwd in key manager? [18:24] Hey does anyone know of a metacity channel? [18:24] on IRC I mean? [18:24] kousotu: Indeed. I just wanted to let you know how bad things are at my end, which is why I can't really try to reproduce it... [18:24] how to refresh gconf so that the changes done in gconf-editor take effect ? [18:25] how do i change X config now, i have always done sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg inthe past [18:25] Jack_Sparrow: how would i install packages from backports anyway? only by downloading the package manually or what? [18:25] MilitantPotato: fusion-icon? [18:25] Fjodor: did you upgrade? [18:25] kousotu: Yes, today [18:25] i did. I may have to make sure im not sending the wrong one from bad memory. the pcf uses IPsec obfuscated secret [18:25] kousotu: yes, gives easy access to emerald and CCSM via the system tray, lets you change/reload the window manager with a click or two [18:25] Fjodor: I had to reinstall xgl-server [18:25] lunartear enable the backports in your sources.list and install with apt-get or synaptic [18:25] jack_sparrow, ok thanks for that tidbit [18:25] MilitantPotato: ah.. new package [18:25] np [18:26] bazhang: for my wireless connection, it says 'no scan results' [18:26] AndyR: I'm interested in the answer too. I used to manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf but that's no use now. === eduar2 is now known as edu2 [18:26] kousotu: if it supports your card, you could install the latest driver from www.amd.com and you won't need xgl [18:26] So, I just installed Hardy. I'm glad to get to play around with FF3 (beta 5), but I'm also an avid user of the del.icio.us extension in FF2. Is there really no equivalent currently working for FF3b5? [18:26] rhys, have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vpnc/+bug/179239 [18:26] shadowblade: waht card is that what chipset [18:26] kousotu: it's at a point where it can be used without any major noticeable bugs, and is very quick. === pchong is now known as chongpe [18:26] MilitantPotato: I'm on intel [18:26] alexficelle, cheers [18:26] bazhang: its a broadcom, on gusty i used instructions for 43xx [18:27] Yup , Got Hardy to work on login had to change to xdm ...? That sound reasonable ? [18:27] kousotu: ah, I thought you said fglrx earlier, sorry. [18:27] i have fulll ssh access to my ubntu server, but i can't get vncviewer to work [18:27] kousotu: and xgl shouldn't really be necessary. If only I hadn't left my laptop at the office. It has the same chip as yours, and everything is peachy under aiglx [18:27] MilitantPotato: np [18:27] AndyR: and besides, I have not been able to come up with suitable search terms. I just come up with nothing. [18:27] shadowblade and sudo dhclient wlan0 (or nic name if other) what does that return [18:27] what is aiglx? [18:27] !aiglx [18:27] AIGLX is a project that aims to enable GL-accelerated effects on a standard desktop. Supported cards: Nvidia: GeForce3 or newer; ATI: Radeon 7000 through X800; Intel: i810 or newer. Howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/AIGLX. For older Nvidia or newer ATI cards see !xgl [18:28] hello all [18:28] im using nvidia prop x server [18:28] AndyR: It's frustrating. I used to be able to configure my monitor just the way I wanted and that doesn't work anymore. If I manage to set things "blindly" from the graphical session, these settings only apply to my user, not to the gdm login screen. [18:28] printing from firefox, on hardy, it does not print the whole page, any tips? as how to resolve this? [18:28] hi, is there somewhere the package of the 2.6.24-12er kernel still availible? this is the version from the beta [18:28] sroecker, sorry. i got to keep adding your name in this channel. but the obfuscated secret is the group password hashed. [18:29] AIGLX according to that website has been integrated into Xorg 7.1 btw [18:29] MilitantPotato: I need to "soft-eboot" to see icon, yes? [18:29] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64909/ [18:29] kousotu: fwiw, what you refer to as soft-rebooting is just restarting X [18:30] kousotu: Might confuse others... [18:30] hi all [18:30] anyone italian here? [18:30] kousotu: no, just run Fusion-Icon from system [18:30] Fjodor: aye, but that closes all apps and my session, hence a soft reboot [18:30] !it [18:30] lol [18:30] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[19:27] Thanks jack [19:27] I did the dual-installation into windows and everytime I try to go into Ubuntu it brings up a menu that says [initramfs] and has me select choices. Should this be happening? How do I get it to work correctly? [19:27] #winehq [19:28] I use wubi [19:28] Sproik: cool but isnt NTFS considered not fully supported or such? shouldnt i stick to FAT32 [19:28] no this shouldn't happen SinisterK [19:28] it works like a charm, except that bcm4306 doesn't work, but i dont think that is wubis fault [19:28] jayb2009, NTFS is fully supported [19:28] mypapit: Wubi is great for a Windoze box already setup, but if you're wiping the HD and starting from scratch, might as well get a bit extra performance and split the partitions [19:28] Dvyjones: no its not wubi its my partition table [19:28] Dvyjones because I dont want to lose my windows partition for the sake of trying out ubuntu with wubi [19:28] my system is always changing brithness level automatically. I had that problem running beta version of heron but i corrected it in power manager configuration. But now i perform a fresh install of ubuntu and that option of turning off brigth change is not anymore in the power management preferences. any help? [19:28] it works like a charm, except that bcm4306 doesn't work, but i dont think that is wubis fault. Any idea how to fix it? [19:28] Sproik, ah.. ic [19:29] Jayb2009: afaik, NTFS has been fully supported for around a year now. I write to mine from 'nix pretty regularly [19:29] hi am trying to configure xserver-xorg driver for ps3 and it shows me a list: chips, fbdev, glint, imst, mga, s3, s3virge, savage, sis, sisusb, tdfx, trident and vga .. any idea which one shall I choose? [19:29] hello [19:29] So.. No useable GUI for multihead setups, right? [19:29] hi, my shutdown menu doesnt appear in ubuntu 8.04. i tried to set it up in login window in administration, but that doesnt appear either [19:29] I had a similar problem, Sinister. My issue was caused by taking the CD-ROM off the same channel as my boot drive. [19:29] SinisterK rather [19:29] Jayb2009: Just don't mess around with writing to an NTFS part from a VM install of Ubuntu lol, I fubared a box doing that [19:29] I have managed to set up my bcm4306 on Hardy, but I cant connect to networks. Any idea how to fix it? [19:29] how to use torbutton with the Firefox that comes with 8.04?? [19:29] think i found my performance issue. if i do "sudo top -d 1" Xorg is using 40-90% cpu [19:29] Lamego: my partition table is shot so im gonna just repartition and setup the right way why not since i gotta install it all again anyway [19:29] ugh [19:29] SinisterK: also, ntfs works better than fat32 and make sure you defrag/chkdsk if needed [19:29] jayb2009 that would be a bad thing [19:29] Sproik: ok i wont [19:29] norbert_: You are going to have to apt-get tor and privoxy I think [19:30] DarKlajid: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution (despite bad naming) can do that. [19:30] SinisterK: right-click the drive in My Computer, Error Check, then tell it to check after reboot [19:30] DarKlajid: it is a frontend for xrandr which replaced xinerama. [19:30] Jack_Sparrow: im sorry what would? [19:30] norbert_: Then install torbutton as a firefox addin [19:30] SinisterK: you want to "ls" and look for casper.log, then "cat casper.log" [19:30] Jack_Sparrow: i suspect it's actually a drive issue, cos my previously working 7.10 cd works on other machines [19:30] jayb2009 to clarify I was agreeing with dvy on writing ntfs from vm [19:30] then again, maybe it's a drive issue [19:30] Alright, I'll give that a shot. [19:30] how come firefox on hardy does not correctly print pages? [19:30] SinisterK: that will tell you the error that caused the installation to fail. if you see SRST failed in there, try putting your boot drive on its own channel [19:31] fearl: Thanks. That one did find two monitors before, but didn't change anything when I unchecked "cloned".. [19:31] jals my dells and hp all want the cd that was burned slow. [19:31] Jack_Sparrow: yup i dont bother anymore with VM its too slow for what i need [19:31] bjornredtail: torbutton is a firefox addon that only works with the Firefox 2.0 series and Ubuntu 8.04 comes with some kind of Firefox 3 beta... does this mean I'm screwed? [19:31] SinisterK: otherwise, take the error you see and google it [19:31] Sproik: any luck? [19:31] People any1 here with Embedded experience here???? [19:31] I tried displaysettings-gtk afterwards, which probably killed (parts of) my xorg.conf now [19:31] my system is always changing brithness level automatically. I had that problem running beta version of heron but i corrected it in power manager configuration. But now i perform a fresh install of ubuntu and that option of turning off brigth change is not anymore in the power management preferences. any help? [19:31] JediMaster nope [19:31] good luck!

I get output on my screen connected to the ATI card, but ubuntu doesn't give me the option to activate the fglrx driver (in gnome). Is there a way to fix this? I'm thinking perhaps the onboard graphics are screwing up.

[19:32] norbert_: There is a Firefox 2 in the package manager... You could also just point Firefox to your local proxy server manually. Also I think there's a way of overriding the encoding things that keep old addins from working on new versions of Firefox, but of course the addon is not guaranteed to work. [19:32] Whats with the problems with Hardy [19:32] Jack_Sparrow, Well, I gave up on it after an hour, I just unplugged the charger cord for it .. 5 minutes later, it moves ..

[19:34] Vlet: can you tell me how I can roll back to 7.10? [19:34] odd, Xorg is still using 40-90% cpu with effects disabled.

Are you sure the router is set for WEP and that you have the password correct? [19:42] _moro_bana_: they use the same package system and share a lot of code, but they have some differences.

I thought it would be more stable" why this release (however you want to describe it...

[20:09] sun-java6-jre is installed [20:09] Monika|K: which java packages have you installed [20:09] ikonia, with the strace log?

[20:09] is there a way to change which session type a user gets (xcfe vs gnome for example) from the command line? [20:09] AlabamaHit, its less bad then windows, but still troublesome at times [20:09] ikonia: why not? [20:10] I have installed sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-bin and some others [20:10] norbert_: because it won't be released, so you can't test [20:10] Jack_Sparrow: Uh ... you did? [20:10] AlabamaHit, im sticking 32 bit for now [20:10] Guess Ill ask agian. Anyone have 256 colors working w/ gnome-terminal? If so how do I do this with out something stupid like ssh sessions breaking on other debian boxes. [20:10] Monika|K: sun-java6-plugin is intralled? and on a fresh profile it doesn't show up in about:plugins? Strange, have any conflicting addons with firefox?

[20:10] ??? [20:10] is it a virus? [20:10] AlabamaHit: depends on your system and what your priorities are [20:10] On the about:plugins there are many plugins listed like Shockwave, but nothing like gcj or icedtea, nothing Java [20:10] yao_ziyuan: no [20:10] norbert_, there are no 'closed group of testers' releases only. Everything is available for all of us at the same time [20:11] ikonia: what is it? [20:11] fearl, at first it showed in the edit menu only but now it shows in the actual menu. Thanks.

[20:11] whatis whiptail [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: I'd be patient if I hadn't wasted the last 2 days trying to get this installed, and it took you today to say partition was slow in hardy :( [20:11] !whatis whiptail [20:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about whatis whiptail - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:11] so, under gnome, if I go to delete something, I get the error "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?" I realize that this has something to do with my setup, but I don't know what I need to do to get it to work. My setup (almost certainly what is causing the issue) is shown here: http://pastebin.com/m4e12aa3d [20:11] yao_ziyuan: In a terminal [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: If only you had mentioned that yesterday .. :( [20:11] carlosdias: have you seen any people join since the 4 lines that have passed since you first asked ?

[20:12] Monika|K: Try looking under tools --> Addons --> Plugins in Firefox [20:12] then why is whiptail using 40% of my CPU time? [20:12] n-iCe: gnome/kde and ofxe are available [20:12] Invisionfree, Elton John :) [20:12] tgelter: think you get that message if you try delete a file from a ntfs drive, means that linux cannot undelete it if you change you mind , I think [20:12] Jack_Sparrow: I'd have sworn I spoke to you yesterday when you told me to stop swearing .. Bye .. [20:12] Invisionfree: i think Seveas made Ubotu [20:12] somebody used aireplay ???

[20:14] ikonia: so 64 bit is just gaming mostly? [20:14] worked in 7.10 last time I checked [20:14] pheonix92x: my speakers and everything is fine because I'm on windows xp right now, and sound is perfectly allright.

Obrigado. [20:14] hey everyone [20:14] I use Kubuntu, but maybe someone can help. For some reason, inserting a blank CD/DVD doesn't prompt me if I want to open K3B (it doesn't prompt at all), and likewise, plugging in my camera doesn't prompt (usually prompts to use digiKam) [20:14] fiXXXerMet: probably not, use something lie avidemux [20:14] Also, I have two DVD burners. I can only burn ONE DVD each, then I have to reboot. If I burn one on each, then close and reopen K3B, it says I have no CD or DVD burners === ottk3_ is now known as matz3 [20:14] fiXXXerMet: Something like Kino can do that. [20:14] Seveas, Can I get ubotu's source by any chance :Z? [20:15] Danish989: hm ok. um, open up a terminal and enter "alsamixer" and press enter [20:15] Thank you [20:15] fiXXXerMet: which is a frontend for what stefg said afaik :) [20:15] i just installed hairy hardon, but I think samba's screwed up... like it doesn't show the workgroups, or the computers either :S [20:15] Invisionfree, ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org -- please not that there's no support and little documentation. [20:15] Phenoix92x: im on from windows right now are you going to stick around? I'll come on from ubuntu [20:15] danish989: that will get you into a mixer, try using the space bar to turn the external amplifier on and off, that might help, try it with the opposite of whatever it is now === suva is now known as Suva [20:15] ikonia: I see. that makes since. I will just stick with .86 then..thanks for the info :) [20:15] anyone know how to fix so that second life won't freeze the whole computer so you nee to do a hard reset?

Is there a sort of IRC !learn command, or is it stored in a file, or does it get it somewhere else? [20:16] Suva: my hardware had problems with support, but started working eventually [20:16] Invisionfree, wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots explains it [20:16] I'm having a bit of a problem with some programs in Wine. Oddly enough the enter key is not working in any text editor I try... Is there any configuration stuff I can mess around with to try and fix this? Also, this program was working perfectly under 7.10... [20:16] it's beta and you put it into a *stable* distro release ? [20:16] this is the chan for hairy hardon, right? [20:16] in ~/.mozilla/plugins there is only flashplayer ... should there be something Java-related? [20:16] you mean concesanus ? [20:17] methods, this is a support channel. rants go to /dev/null [20:17] methods: it's beta in name and if the majority find it more stable than the satable firefox2 release, that seems to be enough [20:17] i can cess anus too [20:17] I am having issues with video, I get no video after splash screen. This is on fresh install [20:17] after installing video driver [20:17] no clue what to do ( ima new ubuntu user) [20:17] Abovegod: try removing the splash screen boot line to see if you get any warnings/errors your missing hidden by the splash scren [20:17] has hardy changed something abut hard drive device naming? my ide drive that has always been named hda is now named sdb [20:17] 8.04 seem to not support aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 encryption. help? [20:17] has hardy got issues with tcp connections? [20:18] laeg, not that I'm aware of [20:18] peromins: yes, all disks now reference as scsi [20:18] laeg: no [20:18] Seveas, could you memo me those two links? The battery on this laptop is about to lose it :( [20:18] ok ikonia is 2.6 22-14 8.04 beta? [20:18] Fishscene, ikonia: ty guys. processs of elimination [20:18] (ikonia: there still are *some* ide adapters whose drivers aren't switched ;)) [20:18] ikonia: do i do that by rebooting then pressing the escape button [20:18] Abovegod: no [20:18] recon69: so if I'm deleting from xfs...would that be the same idea? [20:18] it seems like any program that tries to use pulse freezes [20:18] anybody seen this? [20:18] Installed via Wubi. So far pretty shweet with the exception of my office's Canon Imageclass printer (no driver *@*#&$). By chance does anyone happen to know when LVPM support for 8.04 will be rolled out? [20:18] can you undelete from xfs? [20:18] Abovegod: F2 at boot time removes it, or remove the silent option from menu.lst [20:19] tgelter: not really [20:19] hello. if i start a new X, instead of gray screen i am supposed to get (i am, right?) i get a black screen and nothing is moving [20:19] boris: a "new X" ? [20:19] Has anyone else had issues with audio in VLC since upgrading to 8.04? [20:19] wow, ive never seen so many users in this channel before [20:19] tgelter: you'd have to be QUICK as you'd need to beat the next journel write... [20:19] ikonia: :1 [20:19] ikonia: not *really* ? [20:19] Ediferious : i'm having audio issues with just about everything [20:19] Damn. [20:19] does anyone in here know how to do a multi-boot DVD with for example kubuntu and ubuntu? :) [20:19] ikonia: ive tried making xinit script [20:19] boris: ok, so you need to start an X desktop on that display [20:19] fearl: ok, so basically there is no recycle bin on xfs... [20:20] Ediferious: ste vlc's audio out to alsa, not to pulse or standard (which defaults to pulse) [20:20] tgelter: ok - no [20:20] Not me prakriti, just VLC [20:20] tgelter: recycle bin is the desktop, not the file system [20:20] ikonia: i just tried to start wine program there [20:20] tgelter: Recycle Bin is a Desktop function... it just moves things to another folder... [20:20] is it possible to run windows games on ubuntu ? [20:20] Ediferious: pulseaudio and vlc don't go along nicely as i've experienced [20:20] ikonia, fearl: ok, that's what I thought, so what's causing me to not be able to send things to the desktop? [20:20] !wine | orudie [20:20] orudie: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[20:21] ikonia: well, I can't delete to the trash =) [20:21] Dang, stefg. [20:21] !xinit [20:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about xinit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:21] can you share files with linux and windows [20:21] orudie: take a look at cedega also [20:21] Gerinych, yes [20:21] !AppDB [20:21] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [20:21] Pulseaudio doesn't go along with anything it seems.

[20:21] i believe threw wine orundie [20:21] just wanted to say 8.04 is rocking my socks off so far :) [20:21] Seveas, how? im trying to share a whole ntfs partition with windows [20:21] ikonia: either highlight and hit "delete", or right-click "move to trash" [20:21] AncientPC: so fell free to purge it and use some dmix [20:21] AncientPC, remove libflashsupport [20:22] tgelter: then nothing happens, it doesn't go to the recycle bin [20:22] ikonia: either way, it says it can't be moved to the trash and asks if I want to delete it [20:22] Gerinych, sharing over the network or sharing between installed systems on the same machine? [20:22] tgelter: how big are the files ? [20:22] ikonia: F2 at splash screen does not work as you described [20:22] people, my hardy heron is crashing everytime :( [20:22] tgelter: is the .trash file writeable ? [20:22] Abovegod: remove the silent option [20:22] Seveas: libflashsupport has never been installed. [20:22] ikonia, trash moved in hardy... [20:22] stefg: I've switched everything back to Alsa for now.

Thanks [20:23] hello. if i start a new X, instead of gray screen i am supposed to get (i am, right?) i get a black screen and nothing is moving [20:23] Seveas: thank you for that [20:23] Seveas, there's no shared folders in administration [20:23] yea. however there is multiple versions in my grub [20:24] _jr [20:24] I have a Firefox related question: is it important to have the noscript extension on Ubuntu? [20:24] Gerinych, oh bugger... they must have gotten rid of that then. Hang on [20:24] anash: ok, so remove the old kernels you don't want [20:24] Hardy + ATI Card. Want to use compiz. What drivers am i gonna get the best mileage from? [20:24] Seveas, i have hardy [20:24] ok.. how ikonia? [20:24] Stiny: not necessary but you can if you want [20:24] anash: I've told you 2 times now. Open Synaptic find the kernel package and click "remove" on the ones you don't want [20:25] hi all [20:25] ikonia: I just created it and even chmod +w and still can't use it [20:25] WOOH! Thank you so much, VLC is working right now :D [20:25] shoot^: If you have a laptop your only choice is fglrx [20:25] shoot^, -- depends on the model of the card [20:25] so is anyone having problems with copying files from the Hardy cd during install? I've tried 3 different CD's, DVD's and 2 image files....same problem, always starts at 2% [20:25] Geryinch: I think u have to install samba [20:25] tgelter: you may have to log out and log in for that change to pickup (I dont think you should but I don't know) [20:25] how do i get the restricted driver manager to appear in my System menu? [20:25] ikonia: I think it has something to do with the fact that my desktop dir is actually a sym link to /storage/Desktop that's on an XFS filesystem...no? [20:25] Geryinch: if it's not already installed [20:25] BigChumpy: your drive might need a cleaning [20:25] drivetrax: ATI 9600 Pro [20:25] tgelter: xfs = no difference [20:25] ikonia: I am sorry to keep bugging you but i am unsure what to do [20:25] teohhanhui, i have samba, but there's no option in administration [20:26] Abovegod: remove silent from /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:26] I recently upgraded the kernel through the update manager. However now when I startup the computer I get GRUB error 18. I have been able to find a temporary solution by using the rescue function of the LiveCd, but it's annoying to go through the process everytime. Can someone please help me? [20:26] ok ikonia [20:26] BigChumpy: do a CD selftest [20:26] * pimplife i checked my drivers and it says nvidia_new "not in use" what do i do ?

[20:26] Thanks Stefg.....I can always get to 22%, but then it starts having problems.... [20:26] Abovegod: use he safe version [20:26] tgelter: across file systems shouldn't make a difference, not sure about the symlink though [20:26] Gerinych, gksudo shares-admin [20:26] Help!

Not that rock solid... :-)I [20:37] Phoenix92x: seeing as how I can use new with a 6600 you should probably use new =), I think there is also a list somewhere on the wiki [20:37] to set the default home directory permissions in the system so everytime a new user is added the permissions are set so their account can't access others and others can't access them i mean with cd they can view everyones folders [20:37] michial: safe video mode [20:37] xst, it's most likely a simple bug in a package.

I is interesting to see when it stops again [20:39] I use Kubuntu, but maybe someone can help. For some reason, inserting a blank CD/DVD doesn't prompt me if I want to open K3B (it doesn't prompt at all), and likewise, plugging in my camera doesn't prompt (usually prompts to use digiKam) [20:39] "You'll never go back" - haha, I am almost ready to format and install gutsy again.

[20:41] Monika|K: ff2 [20:41] me too [20:41] Oh also, video playback is a little bit funky but I think that might be related to the audio not working right....

[20:42] btw, has anyone tested the newly released propriatory ati drivers with ubuntu and a hd3xxx series card? [20:42] machial: there is probably a way to pass options to the grub loader, which when you got to you could try using vesa or vga or somesuch [20:42] Auctionedllama, there's a package for that, hang on... [20:42] i used vga=773 [20:42] seveas, sweet thanks mate [20:43] any reason why hardy treats ide devices like they're scsi? [20:43] well not exactly, cpk1, but one can pass it a parameter and then program a script that based on the parameter copies a different version of xorg.conf file to that location [20:43] Auctionedllama, you need the python-gnome2-extras package [20:43] e.g. cp xorg.conf-versa xorg.conf [20:43] which version of ubuntu 8.04 should i install the 32 or 64 bits ? [20:43] anyone know why when I vnc into my box my mouse works but everything else freezes? (im using compiz fusion, also using the xorg vnc module) [20:43] preglow, because the old ata drivers were kicked out [20:44] orudie: if you're unsure, use the 32-bit version [20:44] orudie if you are inexperienced or have a 32-bit-processor, install 32 bit, if you have a 64-bit-processor and are experienced, install 64 bit [20:44] orudie: do you have a 64bir processor? [20:44] yeah i have intel Q6600 [20:44] what do you mean by experienced ? [20:44] i have ubuntu server on my other computer installed [20:44] Seveas: okiedoke, but the fact that what was called hda is now sdb should not mean that grub sees it as hd1, no? it wasy always hd0 in grub, but the hardy installer wrote a menu.lst trying to boot hd1, and that unsuccessfully [20:44] orude, I've got a amd64 cpu and running i386 with no problem [20:45] and i'm thinking about completely switching form windows [20:45] orudie it's harder to install some things like Java, Opera or Flash [20:45] ikonia: is it defoptions=quiet splash ? [20:45] but if you are used to using the terminal [20:45] preglow, that would be a rather nasty bug :/ [20:45] Abovegod: yes [20:45] and not afraid to look up some things [20:45] what options do I have then passing -r printer:QUEUENAME=DRIVER to rdesktop? [20:45] then go ahead and use 64 bit [20:45] orudie: java and flash sometimes have problems with 64-bit, although I was able to find ways around those problems [20:45] change to? [20:45] is there a difference in performance between the 32 bit and 64 ? [20:45] for the DRIVER part [20:45] so, anyway.... does anyone know of any reason this should happen >>>> http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/1986/46868985bz6.jpg [20:45] Seveas: agreed :) i'm reconfiguring grub to see if that is what's wrong now [20:45] the 64-bit version is a bit faster [20:45] ikonia: change option to ? [20:46] seveas, sweet mate, thanks a ton, it works! [20:46] can anyone else confirm that they are seeing this gvfs login/logout bug?

[20:55] Seveas: i suppose the nice thing to do would be to post this occurence in this in some bug tracker? [20:55] Gerinych: You need to boot off your windows cs and repair the installation [20:55] fearl: sorry I should've mentioned I'm using ubuntu server, and my only access is ssh [20:55] Gerinych: I'll help you in #muffins [20:55] Geekman, search google for 'linux traffix shaping' -- NO experience with it here [20:55] LinuxLlama, i have a windows install cd, [20:55] what package is the OpenSSL development library in ?

Sorry [20:56] solved [20:56] jarle: okay, that'll help [20:56] I'll look into that [20:56] let me see [20:56] Col: Ok, that means your system bell is working...

[20:57] sorry it's -c in scp [20:57] !anyone | twistage [20:57] twistage: 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?

[20:57] Do I need to install the modem extra? [20:57] Col: That sounds like the best bet, if the system bell is working [20:57] Geekman: "rsync -avz user@source:/path/ /destination/" would probably do the trick for you....

Thanks! [20:58] Geekman: (syntax from top of my head...) [20:58] agamotto: Is it definitely one there? None of them _seemed_ to work. [20:58] jonasj: I realise that, but it's nice to find someone who will at least listen, if you make it too specific people just ignore you [20:58] o wait [20:58] i cannot update to hardy because it always freezees while in the update process [20:58] jarle: thanks, I've stopped the copy now and I'll give rcp a shot, if I lose data, well, that's less important than keeping my webserver available [20:59] Parasite2: I believe so, although I haven't done extensive testing [20:59] Geekman: ssh -Y ? heh... sorry for the confusion :D [20:59] hey guys, I'm considering changing from vista 32bit to ubuntu 64bit on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A215) are there any known 64bit driver issues I should know about?

[20:59] hi, today I've tried to upgrade kubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 following the instruction at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu. The over the Internet procedure stops at step "6) After the Upgrade Wizard completes the download and verification of the upgrade tool, press the Finish button". Pressing the button should close APM and launch the Distribution Upgrade Tool, but this doesn't happen. Anyone with the same problem? [21:00] agamotto: how can I get the mic to work? [21:00] dude, isnt't there anyone willing to help [21:00] Now the next problem getting SAMBA to work [21:00] ? [21:00] GaintSura: None, save for your 'special' keys might misbehave, and possible sound/modem problems based upon which chipsets are in it. [21:00] eyeheartpi: Sorry, what is your question? [21:00] btw, has anyone tested the newly released propriatory ati drivers with ubuntu and a hd3xxx series card? [21:00] hi all... I think my upgrade crashed. It stopped at the point "Configurng scrollkeeper" and the last error is ///usr/share/gnome/help/blackjack/el/blackjack.xml:402: parser error: Entity 'SOMERUSSIAN' not defined [21:00] agamotto: no 'special keys in use [21:01] what is the best way to install webmin in 8.04? [21:01] right before this, it prompted me to overwrite blacklist and I closed that windows by accident [21:01] agamotto: Thanks. Is there a chance it would need to be installed seperately, the hardware? The Hardware Browser (or whatever it's called) shows no hardware at all... [21:01] eyeheartpi: Please be patient with this channel, there are 1600+ users, and we are all volunteers trying to help you. [21:01] GaintSura: you should make a live CD of the version you want to try and boot your laptop with it. that will give you a good idea where any problem are [21:01] Col: That should be a matter of ALSA picking it up... a bit out of my experience [21:01] fearl, i cannot update to hardy heron [21:01] agamotto: where should I go to get help? [21:02] I would suggest the Multimedia forums for Ubuntu [21:02] my nvidia driver doesn't work after upgrading my kernel to 2.6.24-16, anyone else had this problem? [21:02] i'm not angry...sorry for the inconvenience..it;s just that i tried all day to solve the problem and nothing worked. [21:02] Can you download hardy heron iso [21:02] another question: I'm having massive cpu load, but most of it is listed as "waiting", which nice doesn't seem to affect... is there a way to renice apps that would clear this up? [21:02] k thanks [21:02] eyeheartpi: is your HD full perhaps? have you tried a fresh install? [21:02] i tried to fresh install ubuntu 8.04 but in froze in the middle of the install process [21:02] I'm using 64bit btw. [21:02] ??? [21:03] i then tried upgrading from ubuntu 7.10 [21:03] (sorry I mean processes... osx terminology creeping in) [21:03] i have 15 GB just for linux [21:03] eyeheartpi: My system needed about 2G free on the / partition, if that helps give an idea [21:03] eyeheartpi: clean the CD and run the check for error's [21:03] i have a 500MB swap partition [21:03] in hardy, my mouse will often move on its own whenever I open an application or maximize an ap or when I close an app. it usually moves toward the currently focused application. I am guessing this is supposed to be a feature. How do I disable this? [21:04] does ubuntu automatically support dual core [21:04] ? [21:04] i checked the CD for errors and i did a full memtest86 test and everything was good [21:04] GaintSura: yes [21:04] hello [21:04] Where's the Winamp clone?? [21:04] demonspork: turn off all autofocus, and snap-to ticks [21:04] I mean the xmms [21:04] hello, anyone in here a digsby user? [21:04] eyeheartpi: personally i'd recommend a larger swap. u could also attempt the alternate install ISO.. not sure though. [21:04] hi all, I just finished some updates and I have a message stating "New distribution release '8.04 LTS' is available" and I have an option to Upgrade. I currently run Gutsy, should I do this upgrade? Is it a new release of ubuntu? [21:04] GaintSura: it automatically suppoed my intel core2 quad core as well [21:04] agamotto, where? [21:04] supported* [21:04] dotech: designation of which processes go on which processor [21:04] GaintSura: It just treats it as 2 chips [21:04] doolph: they removed it [21:04] i tried ubuntu, debian, fedora core 7, linux mint and they all froze! [21:04] good good [21:04] http://paste.cluenet.org/736 [21:04] if i have a amd64 x2 6000 and 4gb of ddr2-800, how much swap should i go for? [21:05] xomp: it's a new release, but I would recommend waiting a couple weeks before upgrading [21:05] it's incredible, cuz windows gave me no error [21:05] Is it going to be a problem that I closed the window prompting to overwrite some 'blacklist' file during the upgrade to 8.04? [21:05] GaintSura: really no need to do that, but im sure there are ways to do it, they autobalance well on my system [21:05] eyeheartpi: have you tried the alt-cd , text based installer [21:05] with 4 gig of ram... geeze... swap?? [21:05] Starnestommy, ok, thanks :) I just finished making my os look like Mac OS X hehe [21:05] doolph: I don't think it comes installed. [21:05] Does the Intel 536EP work on 64bit Hardy? [21:05] cheers! [21:05] Dekkard: so.. none? [21:05] demonspork: System - Preferences - Windows, if memory servers [21:05] salut [21:05] yes, i tried the text based installer of ubuntu 7.10, i did not find one for 8.04, and it all worked just fine. [21:05] cu [21:05] Bizzeh: i have 8gb and it made a 10gb swap partition which has yet to ever see a single bit. [21:05] Vlet: what can I do then [21:06] xomp: or if you can do a complete system backup then try the upgrade [21:06] bizzeh,.. prolly half a gig... you shouldnt need more than that with 4 gig of ram [21:06] eyeheartpi: That suggests some bug with your particular mobo/chipset [21:06] eyeheartpi: format again to ext3? is there anything out of the ordinary with your hardware..? [21:06] I was trying out the search function on 8.04 and notice that I am not finding alot of files and descriptions on my system. Anyone have an idea of what I need to do to make it search better? I know when using beagle on Kubuntu 7.10 I could even find a irc nick from a chat channel...:o) [21:06] doolph: install it using the add/remove software tool [21:06] can some some tell me what i should do http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2442/screenshotor2.png [21:06] nope, i dont think so. i have the same problem on my server.

[21:07] which has a nvidia gforce mx400 and it has the same problem [21:07] recon69: Could it be a heat/voltage problem with the video card? [21:07] Vlet: the xmms is not there [21:07] how can i register my nick? [21:07] doolph: sudo apt-get install xmms <-- supports winamp skins [21:07] Belorixx: how do i do that [21:07] I used UnetBootin - to install Gutsy.. good job it does [21:07] Is it going to be a problem that I closed the window prompting to overwrite some 'blacklist' file during the upgrade to 8.04? [21:07] Can anyone help with a wi-fi problem I am having on a desktop? [21:07] I hate to run, but you lot are typing far to fast for me today... my poor brailleboard can't keep up [21:07] * agamotto waves [21:08] tawd: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup [21:08] wow wiered.... i heard a bug with proprietary drivers.. maybe you need to refresh you apt files with sudo apt-get update [21:08] doolph: there should be a drop down list that allows you to pick a list of sources. you want 'all software' [21:08] I did "sudo konqueror" and the deleted the content of a folder, is there some way to return it?

I need it to act like screen1 is the only screen [21:16] Col: you can also install it through Applications->Add/Remove, which is a simpler interface than synaptic [21:16] Can any1 answer a couple of questions I got? I'm new to Ubuntu [21:16] mw-home: there is a 'firefox2' package I believe... try that...

[21:18] Ubuntu 7.10 Random Freezeups i cant upgrade cuase of it any Sugestions [21:18] ugggh/... back to work [21:18] opps, someone beat me to it [21:18] vminch, 5200 fx geforce [21:18] tawd, everytime I open my Mozilla I lag... youtube is not working well at all... sound quality is horrible lag while watching video and I have to press this huge play symbol that appears once I open the video === Griverr is now known as Griver [21:18] Are you trying to install through booting withdisk or in paralele with windoz? [21:18] yeah, but the same thing happened to my server, which has a totally different config [21:18] what pkg do i need to install to watch swf's inside firefox? [21:18] hey there... i just installed ubuntu and its my first time on here... i was using suse before... any help on changing partition mounting points? [21:18] When you use ubuntu, do you guys mostly use the terminal or the GUI to do things? [21:18] Rigonn, ahh yes. i had this problem too [21:18] i tried switching my ethernet card with a new one === _aib is now known as aib [21:18] haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- thanks Zanthios...:( [21:18] wizz1: try 'glxinfo | grep -i direct' ... it should already say 'yes'? [21:18] hi, upgrade from gutsy to hardy failed with the package libgl1-mesa-glx. the error output http://pastie.caboo.se/188262 [21:18] mw-home, flash-nonfree [21:18] i pulled out my tvtuner [21:18] Dekkard: thanks [21:19] fearl, it says no [21:19] Rigonn: seems like u need some codecs and drivers. [21:19] martint: Huh? I've installed it onto HDD, if that's what you're asking. [21:19] i checked my ram with memtest86 [21:19] eyeheartpi: what do you mean by crashing exactly? [21:19] thats why i want to turn it on [21:19] - yea, sorry man [21:19] well..the computer freezes and receives no more commands [21:19] Do you guys mostly use the terminal or GUI with ubuntu? [21:19] Hello, Its been 2 days without any updates on Hardy, does this mean my update-manager is broken? [21:19] my only option is restarting [21:19] mw-home: flashplugin-nonfree [21:19] wizz1: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver returns nv or nvidia? [21:19] LebLinux: probably not [21:19] then what is the problem, it is not booting? [21:19] tawd, where can I get them? [21:19] fearl, nv [21:19] tobywuk; command line [21:19] rigonn, you should of installed the middle plugin instead of the last one [21:19] but my drivers work [21:19] tobywuk, i rarely use the cli.. just for apt.. and some network tools [21:19] rigonn, hold on [21:19] LebLinux: try aptitude update and aptitude upgrade... [21:19] vminch: can you use the command line for everything, even say changing the GUI theme? [21:19] tawd, great! any idea how to fix it? [21:19] eyeheartpi: check you hard drive and try find out where the install crashes. and if it crashes at the same place every time [21:19] the problems began when i updated to latest programs [21:20] Dekkard, jonasj : thanks [21:20] eyeheartpi: what does stop to work? does full system hang? [21:20] martint: Ubuntu is fine. Just I can't connect to the internet. [21:20] tobywuk, but I also use windowmaker as my desktop(windowmanager) a lot.. so.. [21:20] pihhan : yes, full system hang [21:20] Anyone try upgrading Ubuntu from Gutsy to Hardy on an Acer Aspire 4520 yet? [21:20] tobywuk: yes, but it always takes more reading to do so in terminal [21:20] Hi all, just wondering - I found that my master volume doesn't change the volume of the LFE (Sub), only the front speakers, until it mutes, then the LFE mutes too.... any thoughts? [21:20] wizz1: Ubuntu 8.10? Try System > Administration > Hardware Drivers ... should be fairly straight forward how to add it... [21:20] please explain me how to set up VPN under Hardy Heron [21:20] fearl, 7.10 [21:20] ;] [21:20] martint: I've read a couple possible solutions. [21:20] it does not stop in the same place, sometimes it hangs while selecting my time settings [21:20] LebLinux i assume not it just is the time right after the release: wait til the update hassle has settled [21:20] and sometimes during the selection of my partitions [21:20] vminch: learning how to use the terminal is one reason why I want to learn linux [21:20] ADSL?Cable? [21:21] eyeheartpi: system hang occurs often if you have broken cooling in your system, or have bad kernel [21:21] wizz1: There should be a similar tool... it is 'jockey-gtk' if you can't find it anywhere... [21:21] fearl: i installed that, but youtube still wont work. do i need to restart? [21:21] PaRaSiTe2: or are u trying to use wireless? [21:21] rigonn, try this site https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 [21:21] bicyclist1: I was just wondering.. If any updates came on Hardy today and yesterday.. [21:21] tobywuk: isee. then are you familiar with man? it is your best friend [21:21] Col: about:plugins lists it? if so, then just restart firefox and it should work. [21:21] vminch: If I wanted to alter a setting or do something with the terminal (that I could easily do with the GUI) then how would i go about doing it? [21:21] kubba: Are you trying to set up a VNC client or server? [21:21] tobywuk, the cli lis great.. i do use it with wmaker to envoke programs that arent in menu.. and also for system updates.. some file management.. the cli in 'nix rocks [21:21] tawd, but what will I do with my drivers? [21:21] VPN client [21:21] tobywuk: that's a circular statement, I want to learn to use the terminal, that's one reason I want to learn linux [21:21] well...i dont think i have bad cooling as i have a 25cm and a 15cm fan cooling my system [21:22] noob13: nothing new. [21:22] and when i check the temp in bios, it show about 37degrees [21:22] rigonn, leave them for now. are you having the same problem when you play audio clips? [21:22] tawd, btw how can I get a decent firewall and or security program for my comp? [21:22] Col: you'd type that into the URL bar by the way... [21:22] vminch: How would I use Man, Could you give me an example of what I would write to use it [21:22] If you go under Applications > Internet do you have Terminal Server Client? That's what you need. [21:22] i think it's kinda odd because in windows, i have no problems! the thing is, i dont like windows:D [21:22] eyeheartpi: make some checks, what it does when problem occurs, if it does not get out of memory, if your /var/log/kern.log does not show anything suspicious [21:22] tobywuk: 'man man' in a terminal :) [21:22] eyeheartpi: and what happen when you start X after you do a alt-cd install, does the system run ? does it crash? also I'm finding 8.04 unstable ( prone to system lockup's when using firefox ). [21:22] tawd, havent yet tried but I do know that when I hit backspace too much and I have no text my machine starts beeping... [21:22] in evolution, how do i turn off the email notification? [21:22] Rigonn, 8.04 comes standard with ufw installed (uncomplicated firewall) [21:22] man program man, like man ls [21:23] rigonn, right now i'm using my universities firewall, and as far as security...? i don't do anything [21:23] recon69: I have the same problem, ff locks the system [21:23] eyeheartpi: how much memory you got on those machines? [21:23] thanks [21:23] i couldnt find a 8.04 alt cd... [21:23] vminch if i wanted to now how to change the theme, would i type something like "man change theme" [21:23] eyeheartpi: dont know, every similar problem i had was unstable hardware, usually bad cooler on CPU or GPU [21:23] recon69: 2GB [21:23] tomd123: yeah, same here [21:23] noob13: Dial up! [21:23] rigonn, ...oddd [21:23] kubba: No problem. [21:23] on one of them i have 2GB [21:23] LebLinux: have you had a look at your /etc/apt/sources.list? you could uncheck some of the places and try again... if u really wanna update that is :P [21:23] thanks [21:23] recon69: 2GB here too [21:23] and on the other , my 'server' :D 384 [21:23] tawd, well thing is i'm new to Ubuntu and a bit confused with how to work it well... [21:23] noob13: no they are okey. [21:24] tobywuk: no, you would use google to find the program that would change said theme, and then run a man [21:24] LebLinux: then your system is probably up to date. [21:24] eyeheartpi: well just checking, cause the install will run out of memory if you have lest that 512mb RAM. [21:24] Ubuntu 7.10, Random Freezeups [21:24] i think it's pretty ok...the server worked just fine until i did the updates... [21:24] ok thanks. [21:24] rigonn, right now linux does not need too many security programs. it comes as the most secure os by default (for now) [21:24] recon69: ubuntu, imo, should have used ff2 since ff3 is locking up my system and just doing crazy things :( [21:25] I've just today upgraded my Gutsy to Hardy, and when I manually type "snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth0 -D" into a terminal window snort starts up and runs fine, I have this line in my /etc/rc.local and it doesn't seem to be running on boot, can anyone shed any light onto this perhaps? [21:25] nope...the install went just fine on my server, when i first installed it...but after applying updates... bam! all time freezees [21:25] tomd123: well getting the lockup in ff2 as well, the problem is that linux should not hang like that [21:25] is there any way around the white screen problem in ubuntu with ati cards? [21:25] whats a good cd burning tool for ubuntu ? [21:25] MrBill: is rc.local chmod +x ? [21:25] recon69: this only happens in ff though [21:25] eyeheartpi: if you have some really broken software under root, it can take all memory by bug in software and might not be able to kill broken application, but then it will not crash, "only" everswapping to death [21:26] rigonn, have you installed any of the plugins? [21:26] orudie: brasero [21:26] orudie: brasero, k3b [21:26] tawd, sweet [21:26] hi people .. I got a wireless driver problem [21:26] tawd, not yet [21:26] what about infrarecorder [21:26] For the Intel 536EP in HARDY 64bit, do I need to follow this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Intel536EP [21:26] pihhan: what should i do then? [21:26] can i stop that? [21:26] hi how can i remove shortcut arrow on linked folder? [21:26] orudie: I don't know [21:26] redbox -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 347 2008-04-25 13:33 /etc/rc.local [21:26] hi [21:26] yeah, it's just not accepting my password [21:26] tomd123: well hard to be sure, most of the time i was using FF2, but think it's locked up when i was viewing PDF files. [21:27] i mean, i find it pretty weird that it only crashes in linux, not in windows...as if i had hardware problems, nothing would have worked fine.. [21:27] orudie: no, infrarecorder is a windows program [21:27] tawd, I have to download the files.... tar.gz and should i just save as or open with something? [21:27] hi everyone! got vista on a laptop, and i am interested in a dual-boot with ubuntu 8.04, but problem is: ubuntu installer has taken the options out of the guided install with windows, and chooses a size for windows that i dont want. not experienced enough to set up partition manually, any ideas on how to change the sizes of the partitions. the 7.10 allows you to change the sizes of the partitions. [21:27] orudie: just use brasero, it's included by default in ubuntu 8.04 [21:27] tawd, such as the Archive manager [21:27] I have a wireless card, which I managed to get installed using ndiswrapper (wireless network drivers) .. it says hardware present: yes .. but now what .. it doesn't show under network config [21:27] is there a way to register one's nickname in this server ? [21:27] so guys [21:27] cups isn't accepting my password [21:27] eyeheartpi: try to find another kernel. that is only think i believe is able to freeze full system. try to produce kernel oops and get its photo or something. you need to identify problem, there can be thousand reasons [21:27] what do i do? [21:27] jonasj, ok will do [21:27] rigonn, i usually save them, then delete them later, but you can go ahead and just open it and extract to your desktop [21:28] ubuntu 8.04 wants to give 20% of disk space to windows and 80% to linux.....cant i change that, someway? [21:28] I have question: why there isn't exists package vmware-server in ubuntu 8.04? I remember that there were on 7.04, on 7.10 didn't had packages.. why? [21:28] recon69: it locked on me when I was using ff3 and just serving normal webpages, just html [21:28] hi how can i remove shortcut arrow on linked folder? [21:28] pihhan :i dont really kno how to get photo:-/ [21:28] PaulEU: I guess the kernel team didn't want to support it [21:28] HermanChess: try /msg NickServ help [21:28] anyone have the razer barracuda soundcard? [21:28] MrBill: does /etc/rc3.d/S99rc.local exist? [21:28] dudus: ok thanks [21:28] im having trouble getting the mic to work [21:28] eyeheartpi: using camera out of computer, you cannot do much when your kernel oops AFAIK [21:28] tawd, i'm saving them atm going to install in a second [21:29] PaulEU:it could be because VMWare asked them to do it that way or many reasons under the sun why not just get it from thier site it will be just as fast [21:29] Amaranth: but they added one package vmware [21:29] rigonn, ok [21:29] eyeheartpi: simply take a shoot of your monitor with oops message if you get it [21:29] hi. Is there still an apt package for the firefox java plugin? [21:29] :))) oh... [21:29] tawd, what's the difference between RPM and simple? [21:29] rwycuff: but it's strange because on 7.04 they had packages :/ [21:29] rigonn ? [21:29] or should I just make the symlink myself :) [21:29] tomd123: I managed to get it to repeat the hard lock when i restored a FF session from the last lock up. unfortunately I had to clear the session to get FF working again. [21:29] i tried to look into the forums, but no one seems to be addressing this problem. [21:29] it's late and i'm tired...well...there's no oops message [21:29] whats the command to create a new file on the terminal? [21:29] tobywuk: touch [21:29] PaulEU:its not strange support for stuff gets dropped all the time [21:29] tawd idk it says Linux RPM and Linux which of those should I download? [21:30] if i start firefox, it hangs in firefox..there's no message [21:30] thanks [21:30] hi how can i remove shortcut arrow on linked folder? [21:30] the only message i found, was during my debian installation as i was trying to install compiz-fusion [21:30] hey can i change the mount point for a partition [21:30] eyeheartpi: then i dont know, try to revert udates to previous versions, or check changelogs to know what had changed and what might be related to you [21:30] and it said: no XGL found... [21:30] rigonn, is there any other difference? maybe the build? [21:30] since the 8.04 upgrade my hdd doesn't support DMA anymore. hdparm reports an error: http://pastebin.com/d148db209 [21:30] I need help, lol.........8.04 Installer not working I choose English then first open to run it without changing my harddrive with it gets to a Log In page....it say ubuntu user will log in in 10 sec...and the same thing it hangs up there........... [21:30] how do i do that in ubuntu... was quite easy on suse [21:30] does anyone use scrot, if so how do i stop the beeb it makes when it takes picture [21:30] heres a random question: i enabled basic compiz (or whatever its named now) on hardy, and now games (xmoto, wesnoth) wont go fullscreen for some reason. any ideas? [21:31] Which irc network are the gnome channels again? Freenode? [21:31] yes, tovare [21:31] gimp [21:31] tovare: their own, gimpnet [21:31] once you have come to the end of a Man page in the terminal, How do you make it go back to the command prompt? [21:31] ? [21:31] ok, thanks...anyways...it's weird...i dont know why all these distros hanged while in the update process [21:31] thanks [21:31] redbox - yes, I have a /etc/rc3.d/S99rc.local [21:31] tobywuk, q [21:31] or in the installing process. [21:31] thanks [21:32] q stands for quit? [21:32] PulseAudio Sound Server, how do i edit preferences? [21:32] maybe i can do better with an answer when things slow down....quit full and busy now! [21:32] eyeheartpi: seem to me that you video card not playing nice with x [21:32] eyeheartpi: ok, you may have problem with GPU drivers, i cannot help you much with that, i dont have recent card or experiment with compiz [21:32] * tovare wasn't aware he _was_ on freenode :) [21:32] yep tobywuk [21:32] tobywuk: yeah [21:32] rigonn, try rpm. i want find much with simple [21:32] thanks :) [21:32] !print [21:32] !printing [21:32] !cups [21:32] how do i shut down my system using the terminal? [21:32] is ubotu running? [21:32] init 0 [21:33] sacamano: know problem with compiz , you want you game full screen you have to turn effects off [21:33] !ubotu [21:33] tobywuk: halt -p [21:33] man shutdown tobywuk [21:33] wubrgamer: private messages to ubotu for tests. [21:33] tobywuk: sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now [21:33] tobywuk: 'sudo shutdown -h now' [21:33] iirc it's sbin [21:33] sudo shutdown -h now [21:33] MrBill: and it should link to /etc/init.d/rc.local .. and init.d/rc.local should be +x as well.. [21:33] recon, a new problem? [21:33] tobywuk: if you need helop using man, then you can press h [21:33] it's not opening a tab [21:33] xchat [21:33] Anyone have language input (SCIM) trouble with Ubuntu 8? I installed the language support but it isn't doing anything. [21:33] you can just do halt also [21:33] sacamano: huh? [21:33] tobywuk: and it will show you what all fo the commands do [21:33] ok, i get it...so i wont be able to play with compiz...f**ck compiz..i just want it to work...anyways, thanks for your support [21:33] nope, I had ubotu in a window: "ubotu has quit (Client Quit)" [21:33] thanks [21:33] hey guys whats up [21:33] recon, know problem? i dont understand [21:33] does anyone use scrot, if so how do i stop the beeb it makes when it takes picture [21:33] tawd, can't install any of them [21:34] tobywuk: one thing to note: ^E means press control and E [21:34] sacamano: i haven't said anything for hours. [21:34] yes, it links to rc.local. I don't know for sure what to look for to make sure a file is chmod +x [21:34] sacamano: don't think so, but i had the same problems with compiz. [21:34] hi how can i remove shortcut arrow on linked folder? [21:34] recon, oh. sorry. wrong recon [21:34] how the f do i turn the direct rendering ? [21:34] recon69, know problem? [21:34] ok [21:34] OH GOD MY BALLS [21:34] what function is equivalent for kbhit() on linux ? [21:34] rigonn, hmm... which one were you trying to install? (which plugin?) [21:34] i found the easiest way to turn direct rendering on is to use envy [21:34] is this channel supporting the new version 8.04 or another channel for it? [21:34] can i ask a simple question [21:35] sacamano: reported bug in compiz [21:35] is it normal that firefox freezes (darkens) constantly ?? Does it happen to you too ? [21:35] recon69, gotcha. thanks a bunch [21:35] TESTACLE [21:35] tawd, flash player [21:35] MrBill: ls -al rc.local will show if it has --x--x--x [21:35] HermanChess, I've had the same problem too. Beta 5? [21:35] thanks pihhan. [21:35] Hello, I tried searching online but... no luck... anyone know where I might be able to download banshee 1 alpha? [21:35] ackermann: try ##linux or ##c++ [21:35] sacamano: yeah. but on ff2 I had the same issue [21:35] HermanChess, that happened to me yesterday in Gutsy + ff2 [21:35] anyone want to try my code? likminutz.sourceforge.com/gay [21:36] ubot5`: part [21:36] ummm can someone tell me how to run through a quick set up of my internet really quickly i dont know why its not working [21:36] rigonn, try realplayer [21:36] redbox: it's set to 755, and is owned by root.root [21:36] drivetrax: sacamano: you think this could be ram related, or a problem in firefox itself ? [21:36] HermanChess, really? I've never had it happen previous to upgrading and switching. Try disabling Compiz temporarily, I never had problems with it before I started working it. [21:36] i just installed hardy === smiley is now known as Xsylotte [21:36] good [21:36] sacamano: I would like to have compiz though [21:36] i can not get hardy to install [21:36] HermanChess, I assume (i'm not an expert) it's either FF related or Compiz-related. I've never had it until recently, but the FF is beta... [21:36] search for flashplugin-nonfree in synaptic and install it .. [21:36] HermanChess, - I was watching Flash movies from YouTube, and ig went weird.. next reboot, then it went black.. just the Ffox browser.. then it was fine next reboot.. [21:36] anyonehelp? [21:36] question: how to install monitor ? I have Samsung SM997DF but max resolution is 1280x1024 and refresh rate 50-52Hz :( [21:36] redbox, do i perhaps need the full path to snort in the rc.local file? When I manually run it from terminal I don't require the full path, but perhaps at the time the rc.local file runs my paths aren't setup yet? [21:37] what's the name of the application to have the task bar like MAc Os X ? [21:37] Hardy INastall hangin at login page.. [21:37] tawd, it won't open it's .bin tho the one it gave me for linux [21:37] drivetrax: the exact same thing happened to me yesterday, but with ff3beta [21:37] HermanChess, understood. I think it's a temporary bug between the two that they are working on. Consider putting that on launchpad as a bug. With the new Hardy out (with a beta FF) it's bound to have issues. [21:37] MrBill: full path might help. a way to test without rebooting is to just run /etc/init.d/rc.local restart and see if snort get executed via the rc.local file [21:37] someone help me set up a Linksys wireless card on this lappy please? [21:37] whats a good torrent client for ubuntu ? [21:37] I have a Broadcom Chipset and don't know which driver is for me. There are b43 and bcm43xx. My wireless card is Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03). Can somebody help me??? [21:37] Xsylotte, man Xorg [21:37] well.. I don't see them putting beta in 7.10 [21:37] orudie: transmission [21:37] trasmission [21:37] tawd, it says "There is no application installed for this file type" [21:37] sacamano: ok I shall [21:37] man Xorg [21:38] rigonn, search for flashplugin-nonfree in synaptic and install it [21:38] orudie: it comes default if you install original ubuntu [21:38] yes [21:38] orudie: azeurus, but that's java. Transmission is also good. [21:38] after upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 i got this problem with the NVIDIA restricted drivers : API mismatch, nvidia kernel module is version 71.86.04 while driver version is 169.12. I've tried removing all drivers and reinstalling glx-new only, but kernel module 71.86.04 is still being loaded. Anyone knows where to intervene manually to fix this ? [21:38] I have not looked today but does anyone know if the 2.6.24-12 kernel has been patched for sound blaster cards yet? if not i will do some looking around [21:38] rwycuff, ? [21:38] anyone know how to turn on the direct rendering ? [21:38] lol [21:38] hahaha [21:38] hello! [21:38] Xaylotte, in term type man Xorg [21:38] hello [21:38] using the terminal, is there any way to send a message to all users on a network? [21:39] anyone have fax2mail / voice2mail solution? [21:39] !xorg | Xsylotte [21:39] thank you for your help redbox, I think you've given me enough info that I can poke at this a bit by myself and troubleshoot things.

I can't see it [22:04] Hi, Is it right that you have two different kernels on a fresh 8.04 install ? I have 2.6.24-16-GENERIC and 2.6.24-16-386 .. The 386 one is default but i'm having problems with it. A lot of things in gnome doesn't work etc. But the Generic works fine. Do i need the 386 one? How do I remove it? [22:05] anyone understood my problem [22:05] mondain: don't worry about it just use the kernel that works [22:05] gerinych: you are a genius! that's exactly what i did just now, and now it works! thank you! :D:D:D [22:05] wifi has been a problem for linux for a long time, ubu seems to have solved alot of that But does it still have problems findin wifi cards?

[22:06] ZeroFool Intel rocks, i have the 3945 and it works great [22:06] Is there a way to report this bug?

I just had that error and I had to install the Broadcomm drivers. 7.10 I had to blacklist the Broadcomm drivers and use diff. ones. If you google that you should find how to see what wireless you are using.

(please convince me) :-) there are lots of things about Ubuntu that are great but there are also a few thing I find annoying. That said, I've "lived" in the red hat sphere for a long time, so my point of view may be askew... What do everybody like about ubuntu over say Fedora?

In system->preferences->appearance under the visual effects tab I am able to turn on the extra selection and can see that they all work without any problems. I just can't figure how to customize them now like I was in 7.1 with the compiz effects manager in system->preferences. [22:29] namely what?

[22:30] anyone using Firestarter firewall? [22:30] EvolutionCrazy, Hey man, you there? [22:30] There's no such OS as Linux XP 2008, not that I know of. [22:30] is there a way to make the intel xorg driver ignore a specific display? I have a video port with nothing plugged into it and Ubuntu is trying to treat it as my primary display. Checking "clone displays" in Gnome's display preferences solves the problem inside gnome, but not for the login screen or programs that do direct-screen access.

[22:31] EvolutionCrazy, however, nothing looks too different when I run xrandr.

I switched to a different one and then back and it worked [22:31] It's not "huge" :) [22:31] is it possible to record sound in ubuntu without mic as it is in xp? [22:32] OK, so it's an option in a normal install? [22:32] has anyone else had issues with the live CD part freezing? I tried on my desktop, works great, laptop, it scrolls back and forth a lot, then gets three completed "chunks" then stops. I want to install it on the lappy, but I'm hesitant to try if it won't even get the live cd to work [22:32] Nothing too different? is that a good thing? :P [22:32] For all you torrent client users... I increased my upload speed from 75kb to 100kb by using a proxy server and invoking encryption. [22:32] I though I needed an alternate installer? Or is that just the CD, or just Debian? [22:32] howdy! Just installed hardy heron and realised I wanted XFCE. I did a apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, xfce-session now appears in my gdm session list. Choosing this session however, leaves me with a orange background and nothing else happens (I waited ~2 mins before hitting ctrl-alt-backspace). What am I missing? [22:32] dsch04: best to copy over :) [22:32] you can record soun in xp with out a mic ? [22:32] Hi...

[22:32] well yeah, insub [22:32] I guess if i wnt to use java ill just have to boot into xp [22:32] drivetrax: firestarter will only be running when you the user starts it to configure iptables it doesn't have to be always running [22:32] How can I get video playback sync'ed to vblank?

[22:33] zepherin: samba is good for some things [22:33] zepherin: you could setup an ftp server [22:33] zaer i suggest you to install Rockbox in your Ipod [22:33] 8.10 seems to be full of bugs === Griverrr is now known as Griver [22:33] tmus, what is this solution you speak of :) [22:33] zero__ use Applications -> Add/Remove to find and install Gnome Partition Editor [22:33] Any help on remastering the ubuntu iso?

I can find it when I go to admin/printing under SAMBA, but when I try to verify it tells me that it can't connect. Also, I have bi-directional support disabled on the XP box [22:33] ZeroFool: I guess that's because there's still a few months until it will be out :) [22:33] REBEL808 - system - prefs - advanced desktop effects setting [22:33] s [22:34] zepherin: actually, if you install winscp on the windows machine, that is the easiest way I have found [22:34] ill wait [22:34] Why isn't my main-user ( created at install ) noet in my /etc/sudoers, but can i still use sudo ?

[22:34] is there any easy way to update a single interface's config info from the command line, without manually editing the /etc/network/interfaces file by hand?

[22:44] jaffarkelshac: I think the problem (in my case) is that the LCD is nor run at its native refresh rate or something.

[22:47] CyberGabber, thankyou enyway.. has enyonane got tis GRUB error? [22:47] nope [22:47] I think for a full year from release date, but I could be wrong.

Check its man page. [22:48] i have Mplayer working fine on mine [22:48] ok [22:48] RequinB4 18 months from date of gutsy release 6 months ago. [22:48] It works fine for me, playback, sound and all [22:48] how do you turn on a verbose boot mode for the live CD?

[22:51] !lts [22:51] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

[22:52] pat: i agree but you will never learn anything if you use package man all the time [22:52] jaffarkelshac: the support refers to security and critical bug fix updates [22:52] Is there a diferent chanel for beginners [22:52] ?

[22:52] devrethman: no. LTS simply means that 8.04 will continue to be supported even when 8.10 is released. 3 years for 8.04 desktop, 5 for server. [22:52] is ok to ask "stupid" questionsin here? [22:52] devrethman, the LTS .. server.. seems to be a setup and go... for 6 months, with updates on security, and dev changes, not involving some certain UPGrades [22:52] going through the new available apps and came across ophcrack... how would a windows password cracker work while running on linux..

[22:56] I have to say, kudos to the Tracker and corresponding back end devs, a really good job [22:56] I had some issues with nvidia on Hardy [22:56] I am almost done with hardy, going to go back to my feisty install. I opened rhythmbox and the system locked up. and now after the reboot, my desktop background, icons and even the right click menu for the desktop are just gone [22:56] Abd67: kk I am about to build 2.6.25 as well [22:56] I belive that learning the basics of useing terminal as interface is what sparks most people into useing linus as prefered os [22:57] ubunturox Try putting the pandora window on a different desktop that you don't use. [22:57] sirius works using Sipie, doesn't work in ffx3 though [22:57] ahhh,, now thats a good idea patifa [22:57] :) [22:57] ZeroFool - No viruses helps too [22:57] no.

[22:58] demonspork: i agree 8.04 sucks ever scince i updated i can barely use my system it has random crashes every time i startup [22:58] amrik with it worked just fine. I followed all the steps from this site : http://howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [22:58] alexr: Can you open up the examples folder that's in your home directory and tell me which types of files play and which don't? [22:58] server_: I'm sorry, what are you looking for?

[22:58] Nis2k: best to wait a couple of weeks on a upgrade with Linux system anyways [22:58] patifa; one moment [22:58] only way to get out of deep shlit is with command line [22:58] its soft raid running on bios [22:59] kitche: is there any good way to tell if most of the major bugs have been worked out before installing?

[22:59] im still a newb but im getting better [22:59] Nis2k - have you installed [22:59] did you check the checksum? [23:00] hey, a question about 802.1x in ubuntu hardy? is it enabled, and where can i configure the username and pass? i see that wpasupplicant is installed [23:00] RequinB4: have i installed what? [23:00] jskyhawk: you have to find out if dmraid (linux' fakeraid driver) supports your chipset [23:00] TornadoChas3r: If you have a SMART enabled HD, you can run its own internal checking routine so that it will find and block out bad sectors. To find if your drive is SMART enabled, type "sudo smartctl -a /dev/hda" [23:00] ZeroFool - I've found that 95% of problems on linux come from users messing around when they really didn't *need* to [23:00] jerbear: just wait a few weeks :) best thing ever to do if you don't know how to fix stuff [23:00] Nis2k ubuntu [23:00] !res [23:00] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

You gonna use that on server or what? [23:00] except for the problems of course with nvidia [23:00] i have a partition that needs sudo to be written on, so none of the regular programs can access it. Any ideas how I can change that? [23:00] gvfs... boo [23:00] RequinB4: yes, but for just a couple of secs, even if i get to use it for a minute or two next thing that happens it crashes.. [23:00] can i get vista style suspend on ubuntu/fedora? [23:01] ss [23:01] what's a vista style suspend? [23:01] ^ only with a swap drive [23:01] John_S: it is a smart HDD [23:01] Nis2k, ok, so its not a gfx problem? [23:01] cyber i just use it so i have some protection against disk failures [23:01] jskyhawk: it's not a metter of raidlevel, but a matter of wther there's a driver for your promise, nvidia or whatever southbridge [23:01] hey, a question about 802.1x authentication support on wired? is it enabled, and where can i configure the username and pass? i see that wpasupplicant is installed [23:01] patifa: None of the audio files work. I tried three different players. === Scrounch-djl is now known as Scrounch [23:01] are those responses for me?

[23:01] is anyone here running ubuntu with nvidia ? i need help with accessing nvidia settings to set up multiple displays [23:01] (if any) [23:01] req: but how els do you learn without formal education? [23:01] RequinB4: i dont know, i was checking the log when i had a chance and it said something about "nvidia taints kernel" [23:02] i have downloade iscsitarget-source from repo i now have a directory with 3 subs debian include and kernel. i don't seem to find a configure script or make. how do i compile this? [23:02] orudie: alt+f2 -> nvidia-settings [23:02] Nis2k - d you have restricted drivers [23:02] nothing happens. It's almost like the player can't find the file or doesn't know what to do with it. It just stops or pauses [23:02] so i quess since dmraid gave me an error i'm skrewed [23:02] i cant spell when i think [23:02] Stroganoff, could not open nvidia settings [23:02] TornadoChas3r: That's good, I can give you the command to run its internal check/repair routine, but keep in mind if you have a BUNCH of bad sectors you really should consider a new HD. How old is your HD? [23:02] RequinB4: yes, i believe i do. but they worked perfectly on 7.10 [23:02] or type [23:02] sort of hangs there like winamp when the files have been renamed or deleted. [23:03] hey, a question about 802.1x authentication support on wired? is it enabled, and where can i configure the username and pass? i see that wpasupplicant is installed [23:03] alexr could you repeat you problem please? [23:03] John_S: About Four Years i forgot to says its a laptop HDD [23:03] Stroganoff, any other suggestions ? [23:03] i can always do a VM i suppose [23:03] jskyhawk: from the linux point of view you would just take that as a JBOD and implement raid on kernel level. so no particular raid driver would be necessary. it's just windows' twisted understanding of raid that makes things difficult [23:03] ntstfu: No music files play for alexr. [23:03] ntsfu: can't play audio files. Tried several players [23:03] alexr what is the file format? [23:03] books are great mentors are good but exp is best [23:03] Nisk2k - double check they are in use, is all i can say. My wireless chip firmware didn't stay when i upgraded [23:03] orudie did that nvidia-settings package came with your current nvidia-driver version? [23:03] stefg unfortunatly i cannot drop windows [23:04] Abd67: so the only thing broken is the flash plugin? that's pretty impressive. I was sure that the NVIDIA restricted driver would break too, unless you are not running that. [23:04] hey guys, my upgrade crashed out near the end, trouble with some vm software I'd installed. Whats the easiest way to do a health check on my system? [23:04] Stroganoff, i dont know, i just installed the restricted driver when ubuntu prompt me to do so [23:04] RequinB4: how can i check them if i cant get into my system? === euthymenes is now known as euthy [23:04] Nis2k - recovery mode [23:04] RequinB4: it crashes aswell [23:04] oh thanks guys have a good one [23:04] hi! [23:04] Nis2k - then i's not a graphics problem, and i don't know [23:05] hey there, after upgrading my partition names disappeared and been replaced with the volume size. any idea how to change it back? [23:05] even if you ruin yer machine at least you know what not to do [23:05] TornadoChas3r: OK, and what was the output of badblocks? How "bad" is your drive? :) [23:05] ompaul, my cd checked fine. [23:05] I had to change my nick cause it said mines in use [23:05] 8.04 sucks ever scince i upgraded ive got nothing but troubles.. [23:05] in xorg.conf setup do i want to "Use kernel framebuffer device interface?" [23:05] jskyhawk: i understand that, just wanted to make a point of who is at fault :-) ... so check if dmraid can handel your mobo's fake raid controller. But you'll need an alternate installation, that's for sure [23:05] John_S: well its not done yet but there are a lot of errors it looks to me, its a big list [23:05] ntsfu: any format it seems. But I noticed it with mp3 [23:05] amrik yes so far :p [23:06] xDANIMALx, so now remove your network cable and do the install and [23:06] Is there a way for me to download packages to my thumb drive to install on a internet deprived computer?

I can't get results... but in the online page i can find the album [23:06] pyrohotdog: you can select not to install the packages you download [23:06] suck my toe bitch [23:06] xDANIMALx, it is just one of those things that should not impact an install but [23:06] efh.. i am having some issues with atheros wireless and xfce (mythbuntu) [23:06] orudie: use the add/remove in Applications to find and install wine. [23:06] orudie, search for wine in synaptic [23:06] sorry i something happened, can i get vista style suspend on ubuntu/fedora? [23:06] Abd67: are you actually running w/ the vanilla NVIDIA kernel blob, because I saw a patch floating around on a message board earlier [23:07] patifa, can i just do sudo apt-get install wine ? [23:07] can't get it to connect to my network if i set up the settings in the networks thing [23:07] but eventually i figured it out and now have this master piece lol [23:07] in xorg.conf setup do i want to "Use kernel framebuffer device interface?" [23:07] aww why am i having random crashes? i cant understand my system worked perfectly when i used 7.10 what happened? [23:07] alexr: have you installed the drivers that are not installed by default due to copyright laws? [23:07] !language | josemp76 [23:07] josemp76: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:07] ntsfu: Actually yes, I remember that warning. Everything played fine yesterday and earlier today [23:07] ompaul, its not letting me boot into Ubuntu. [23:07] guys, fresh install of Hardy on a laptop. ATI Radeon 9600. When the laptop boots to the logon screen, i just get scrambled, broken up graphics. Not using the ATI driver. Any suggestions? [23:07] I get an error [23:07] Grub error [23:07] John_S: here is the list so far http://paste.ubuntu.com/8578/ [23:07] . [23:07] amrik I applied no patch, I just downloaded the kernel from kerne.org, and seleted the modules I wanted to and then compiled it [23:08] so, why did the devs put firefox 3.0b5 into Hardy... it's unstable and crashes a lot [23:08] I'm on a wireless network [23:08] orudie: let me check if 'wine' is the package. [23:08] laeg: Thank you, in Synaptic? [23:08] lunchbox330: works for me ... [23:08] John_S: at least i think those are errors [23:08] shoot: what kind of laptop uses ati 9600? [23:08] alexr: so what you're saying is that you have been able to play the mp3 format in the past but all of a sudden today it just flat out won't work? and you did install the restricted drivers? [23:08] btsfu: that is correct. [23:08] alexr did you also try playing an ogg file from the examples folder just a little bit ago? [23:08] stefg, it crashes about 20 times a day on my end, always on flash or java [23:08] it was a user called teamcobra that pointed out the site for each step to coompile the kernel [23:09] Abd67: pretty ghetto :) [23:09] xDANIMALx, I have only ever fixed grub errors using google and the words grub error (NUMBER) ubuntu [23:09] lunchbox330, because it is a LTS release. if they kept 2.0 then they would be supporting dead software for five years. [23:09] I don't know if it's related, but the first time it happened I didn't mount the volume the files are on before trying to open the playlist [23:09] patifa, i did sudo apt-get install wine and it worked [23:09] orudie: Yes, that's it [23:09] patifa: yes [23:09] amrik it worked and i'm happy :) [23:09] pyrohotdog: system > admin > synaptic [23:09] lunchbox330: do a fresh install, or ttry purging libflash-support [23:09] There wasn't a number, it said grub fatal error cannot install on hd0 or something close tothat [23:09] pyrohotdog: it should give you the option when you download [23:09] alexr: just for kicks what type of device are we talking about? [23:09] hey there, after upgrading to 8.04 my partition names disappeared and been replaced with the volume size. any idea how to change it back? [23:09] sorry i something happened, can i get vista style suspend on ubuntu/fedora? [23:09] ZeroFool: a Fujitsu Seimens Amilo M1420 [23:10] amrik I just want to have flash working properly under ff 3 beta 5 [23:10] TornadoChas3r: That's not good. You can try to have the HD fix itself (block out bad sectors) by using "sudo smartctl -t long /dev/hda", and it will start. Note that the test runs even though command terminates. To monitor the progress, use "sudo smartctl -a /dev/hda" like I gave earlier. But personally I think you should get a new HD. [23:10] lunchbox330: there a dozens of threads on that issue in the forums [23:10] Does someone know what a 'vista style suspend' is? [23:10] mohbana: only with a swap space abbailable [23:10] ntsfu: you mean my laptop or the sound card in it? [23:10] xDANIMALx, then that is what I would search for [23:10] Abd67, u on x86 or x64?? [23:10] theone_ can't they just use 2.x until the stable 3 is out, at which point they make all 2.x update to 3? [23:10] alexr [23:10] yes? [23:10] im using xchat and for some reason, the chat's sounds are not working and instead i hear the system speaker, is there a way to disable it ? [23:10] LOL,,, I dont, because I dont use MS products [23:10] LOL [23:10] J_Doe x64 [23:10] alexr: what the file is stored on, sorry premeptive send back there [23:10] that would cause far more problems. [23:10] 9600 ati agp 8x is ghetto unless its on an asus k8v-se whr its works to full potential [23:10] ntstfu: doesn't vista suspend to ram? [23:10] does anyone know how to reset alsa to what it was when I first installed? [23:10] John_S: ya if i could get one the problem is i want to get the data off this one and i have been having problems with that [23:10] jaffarkelshac, I am not sure if it really helped but I didnt notice the problem anymore now after a bit of testing. [23:11] Im assuming it means a crashed and locked up computer... right? [23:11] mohbana: are you talking about hibernate, suspend, or the new hybrid sleep shit they got going on [23:11] Abd67, out of luck then. no official Adobe version available for x64 ad gnash as well as swfdec arent fully compatible with actionscript yet [23:11] Abd67: ok well the way I have it set up is flashplugin-nonfree installed through apt-get. I didn't use firefox's mechanism for installation. After I rebooted it works ok, although sometimes a flash object will show up grey and not work. Sound works fine (in 7.10 it didn't all the time) [23:11] lunchbox330: hardy is LTS, that means you would have to support FF 2.0 in 3 years still. nobody wants that [23:11] ntsfu: a second harddrive in the LT.

For example: sudo echo hi [23:22] oh.. ok [23:22] Danish989: In general, if you open Synaptic, click on the program you installed, one of the tabs is "installed files" which will tell you where you can find the program. [23:22] Nis2k, -- so, you log-in, then it hangs.. after giving a password? [23:22] I assume it has to do with the ATI drivers??? but would that cause it to bounce me out?

I'll admit I don't much about this. [23:27] I am having an issue in hardy, my numeric keypad isn't working. I've tried with NumLock on and off. I've tried changing the keyboard via Systen>Preferences>Keyboard, i've tried running dpkg-reconfigure console. using xev shows that key events are working but apps don't seem to get them [23:27] Vlc rocks, on ANY platform [23:27] I'm not getting any sound in Ubuntu with an Intel ICH2 sound card. Help? [23:27] Bye Everyone [23:27] yeah, but it'd be nice if alexr's other applications could play music, PixelDad. [23:27] the upgrade to hardy messed up the codecs while playing AVI's in mplayer and in movie player. But in VLC works fine. Anyway to correct that? [23:28] hi, I would very much like to help out with testing the 'beta' Ubuntu versions; I know these are announced on the dev-mailing list, but I don't want all the messages from that list; is there a way to receive an e-mail including an e-mail address where I can report suggestions after testing it?

You can then send feedback using launchpad.net [23:29] well, at least can listen to music while I try to figure out what's wrong. [23:29] After upgrading to Hardy, my girlfriend's laptop no longer wakes from sleep properly (everything seems to wake up, but the screen doesn't come back on). I've filed a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/223478 , but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to work around it in the meantime? [23:29] Eduardo -- first time booting & login?

I've tried changing the keyboard via Systen>Preferences>Keyboard, i've tried running dpkg-reconfigure console. using xev shows that key events are working but apps don't seem to get them [23:29] Everytime I reboot, I have to re-connect to my wireless. Is there a way to have it connect automatically? [23:29] alexr: shearching as best I can for where the packages that control sound decoding are, but you may have to ask elsewhere, like on the forums, for how to reinstall the codecs for the music players. [23:30] *searching, that is [23:30] how can I change my drive labels so that they are not "326.00 GB Media" but something more significant to me?

You should shut the program down, either do a "ps axu | more" to make sure it truly quit, or use the graphical process browser to see if it is still running. Then try uninstalling again. [23:58] i know this has been asked about a hundred times, but i never paid attention - is there a way i can get the "new" drive display (500.1 GB Media, etc) to show the "old" way (Multimedia) [23:58] when i try to grep messages it says permission denied, any idea why? [23:58] icesword: it's not installing, the computer is frozen. no activity, and it's not responding [23:58] bjstick: all I see is gcj with icedtea.

[23:59] I'm not running gnome, if that matters [23:59] John_S: Yeah, I don't get what it is that I have to do to completely remove it...
